《I Inherit An Auction House At The Start, Trillion Times Rebate!》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the main hall, the coiling dragon cloud pillar stood in four directions, namely north, south, east, and west. The dragon¡¯s eyes were lifelike as if they would come alive in the next second. The dragon¡¯s roar resounded, exuding a threatening aura everywhere. The Lin family¡¯s elders and the disciples of the family stood on both sides. They did not dare to speak loudly as they were afraid that they would disturb some sort of existence. They only held their breaths. There was a simple and unadorned stone tablet in the middle of the hall. Under the gazes of everyone present, Lin Mo took a deep breath and slowly placed his hand on the stone tablet. After a long while, there was no response from the stone tablet. ¡°Lin Mo, level 1!¡± An elder spoke with an expressionless face. The words hit Lin Mo¡¯s heart like a heavy hammer. The sentence caused quite a commotion in the crowd as well. ¡°Why is Lin Mo still at level 1? He has been through so many tests. He¡¯s basically trash.¡± ¡°The Lin family will never raise a useless person regardless of whether they¡¯re a direct descendant or not. This is a rule set by the ancestor.¡± ¡°He was a genius in his prime. Now, he isn¡¯t even comparable to a newbie who has just joined the clan. If the news spreads, it¡¯ll be a disgrace to the Lin family.¡± ¡°I heard that quite a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures have been spent to nurture him over the years. What an utter waste. Why don¡¯t we spend the effort and time to nurture another person instead? Who knows, the other person might have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.¡± ¡­ The surrounding discussions as well as everyone¡¯s gazes landed on Lin Mo. It was as if they pierced through him. In fact, he was basically a fish on a chopping board. Lin Mo subconsciously clenched his fists and his veins popped out. However, he had no choice but to release his grip. It turned out that he was once a genius of the Lin family. He had reached the peak of level five of the Body Refining stage and was about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. However, for some unknown reason, he had lost all of his cultivation and regressed back to level one. All these years, no matter how much he cultivated, he could not break through level one. ¡°Enough!¡± The noisy main hall suddenly fell silent. ¡°What¡¯s the point of all this commotion?¡± Clan Leader Lin Xuan¡¯s expression was dignified and he gave off an extraordinary aura. He observed Lin Mo, whose eyes were cold and filled with disappointment. All Lin Mo felt at that moment was bitterness. The second elder said, ¡°Clan Leader, Lin Mo has already used up a lot of of our clan¡¯s resources. Yet, he¡¯s still stuck at level 1. According to the clan¡¯s rules, he should be stripped of his surname and expelled from the clan.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, someone tried to stop him. ¡°Absolutely not! Clan Leader, Brother Lin Mo was once a genius. However, he¡¯s unable to recover due to some reason. I hope that you can use your discretion in dealing with him.¡± The voice, which sounded like it belong to an oriole, was very pleasant to the ear. It was Lin Mo¡¯s younger sister, Lin Qingyue. She possessed outstanding talent ever since she was young. If it had not been for her, the Lin family would not have tolerated Lin Mo for so long. The clan was divided into two factions. One faction was led by the second elder, whereas the other faction was led by Lin Qingyue. Both factions had been arguing furiously whether they should kick Lin Mo out. In the end, it was Lin Xuan who compromised. ¡°Lin Mo, I¡¯ll send you to an auction house. If you manage it well, there¡¯s still a chance for you to come back.¡± Lin Qingyue frowned and wanted to add something. However, after seeing Lin Xuan¡¯s expression, she knew that this was his biggest concession. On the day Lin Mo left, no one except Lin Qingyue sent him off. Lin Qingyue hoped that the situation would not make Lin Mo seem so pathetic. Lin Mo did not take it to heart as many people had already been cold toward him over these past few years. As the saying goes, ¡°Man struggles upwards, water flows downwards¡±. This principle had never changed since ancient times. Who would spend their time to send off a good-for-nothing like him? ¡°Do send me a message as soon as you arrive there. If you need something or if anyone bullies you, let me know¡­¡± Lin Qingyue¡¯s voice brought Lin Mo back to reality from his thoughts. Seeing the concern in her eyes, he felt somewhat relieved. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of myself.¡± The setting sun was radiant. Lin Mo brought a few servants and stepped onto the carriage, but he did not notice the black shadow following him. A few miserable cries could be heard from the depths of the forest at night. Following that, a few night birds circled around in fear. The carriage had already been split into pieces and the ¡°Lin¡± flag had been broken at the waist. As for the white flag, it was stained with blood. Additionally, the bonfire was snuffed out. It seemed as though a huge battle had just occurred here. A few corpses were sprawled on the ground, including Lin Mo¡¯s. Supposedly, the corpses would be discovered by the Lin family in a few days. As their belongings were looted, everyone would think that this was the doing of robbers. It was all for money. However, Lin Mo opened his eyes abruptly. He moved his fingers and swept them around his surroundings. ¡°What the f*ck?¡± He let out a curse. Originally, he was sitting at home but suddenly, he got transmigrated. The only thing that remained the same was his name. After sorting out his memories, Lin Mo felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This was the classic start of a loser¡¯s story in the twenty-first century, right? Although everyone had given up on him, the original host himself did not. After searching day and night, he finally found out that this happened due to his unique constitution, the [ God Devouring Body ]. This constitution would revert to its original form, the first time one cultivated to the peak of level five. That was why their original bodies had fallen back to level one when they were in the Foundation Establishment stage. If one wanted to cultivate again, they would need to consume a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures on a regular basis. Otherwise, their life would be in danger. Although a lot of resources had been spent on the original body, it was clearly not enough. Thus, their cultivation could not advance even though their life was in danger. In this case, one could see how special this kind of constitution was. This could be viewed as a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Nevertheless, this constitution possessed endless potential. According to the records, there was even a possibility of breaking through to the peak of level nine or even reaching a higher realm. Nevertheless, the Lins did not know about the twists and turns of it. They only knew that Lin Mo had used up a lot of resources but was unable to breakthrough. Even his body had been damaged. He was simply trash. Therefore, they sent Lin Mo to a remote place. He would have a chance to return. Even so, who knew how long it would take. Lin Mo could not help but roll his eyes. It was fine for him to abandon such a clan. He could not be bothered. This continent was called the Eastern Continent, which was one of the five continents. In the north of the Eastern Continent, Lin City was one of the most prosperous cities other than the capital city. Lin City was also the Lin family¡¯s territory. At this moment, Lin Mo was going to Chuxin Village, which was located in a small town near the border of the Eastern Continent. Since his physique was placed here and the resources of the clan were not enough to awaken it, he might as well go out and try his luck. Furthermore, Lin Mo was worried that he would be discovered due to his personality being different from the original host. Now that the original soul of this body was dead, he had to take over. Regardless, he should not be exposed as long as he was careful. Furthermore, he could act freely. With this in thought, Lin Mo decided to set off immediately. It would be bad if the robbers returned.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo found the map to Chuxin Village and set off. Fortunately, it was not too far away. Otherwise, without any carriages or horses, who knew how long it would take for him to walk out of this forest with his level one strength. The sky looked like the color of a fish¡¯s belly. There were small houses scattered all around like mushrooms growing out of flat grounds. As the sun had just risen, countless rays of light shone down on the planet and coated the eaves of the houses with a layer of golden light. These low houses were surrounded by endless fields. A gentle breeze blew, causing countless waves of wheat to roll one after another. This made the place seem even more spacious. Lin Mo finally spotted people in front of him. He could not help but quicken his pace. After walking for an entire night, he could barely feel his feet. Luckily, nothing happened during the journey and he did not encounter any danger. After much difficulty, Lin Mo arrived at the entrance of the village. There was a sign hanging nearby. Due to the wind and sunlight, the original color of the sign had long faded. Some of the words were already mottled and disconnected. Lin Mo could barely make out the original sentences. Everything was so crooked. In fact, it looked like a child¡¯s graffiti. There was also a big tree beside Lin Mo. He did not know how long it had been rooted here, but the tree was thick and had a sturdy trunk. Clearly, it was very old. Even if a few people combined their strength, it would be difficult for them to uproot it. The rings on the tree were proof that it had been alive for countless years. The branches of the tree were lush and the canopy was very tall. When a person walked under it, they could feel a chill. It was simply a good cooling place during the warm summer. Many red silks were tied to the tree and there seemed to be written words on them. However, Lin Mo could not see them clearly. ¡°Young man, why are you here?¡± said an old voice. This almost scared Lin Mo. An old man wearing a straw hat appeared from behind the tree trunk. He had simple clothing on and his pants were half rolled up. His shoes were made of cloth and he looked just like any ordinary person. Lin Mo and the old man were sizing each other up. Since Lin Mo was dressed well, it was obvious that he came from a large town. The old man could not help but be filled with doubt and surprise. He sighed, ¡°Other than mercenaries, it¡¯s been a long time since anyone has come here.¡± ¡°My name is Lin Mo. I¡¯m here to manage the auction.¡± The old man looked at Lin Mo from head to toe again. Originally, his eyes were half-closed but now, they were completely opened. At the same time, it revealed a sharp glint. ¡°You¡¯re from the Lin family?¡± Lin Mo nodded and took out the clan leader¡¯s documents. He handed them to the old man. After taking a long look, the old man said, ¡°It¡¯s the chief¡¯s seal.¡± Just like tree barks, his hands were full of wrinkles. He flipped through the documents and touched the seal as if he was touching something rare. If Lin Mo did not say anything, he might have kept touching it for the whole day. ¡°May I know who exactly you are?¡± The old man waved his hand, indicating for Lin Mo to follow him. ¡°I¡¯m the chief of this village. The people here call me Old Lin or Old Man Lin. You can call me whatever you want.¡± Lin Mo did not expect the old man to be the chief of Chuxin Village. After all, he was so down-to-earth. The old man could see the astonishment in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and explained, ¡°We¡¯re in a poor and remote village. We don¡¯t have to follow those stupid rules. It doesn¡¯t matter what we do. You¡¯re so young. Why are you here? Well, since it¡¯s the clan leader¡¯s order, we¡¯ll just go with the flow.¡± Old Lin nagged as he brought Lin Mo into the village. There were only about a dozen households. They were scattered around the village. Obviously, not many people reside in this village. Chuxin Village was not considered prosperous. It was said to be one of the branches of the Lin family, but most of the people were merely from the countryside. Nonetheless, there were also other factions. Most of the young people who had the ability or talent were aiming for bigger cities. They wanted to go and expand their horizons, achieving something impressive. Those who stayed in the village were mostly old, weak, or sick. ¡°You¡¯ve seen the situation of our village. The population is sparse and the place¡¯s structure is simple. There aren¡¯t many young people like you.¡± Soon, the two of them arrived at the village. No one really paid any attention to them. ¡°Uncle Wang, meet someone from my family.¡± An old man was taking a nap at the main entrance. When he heard Old Lin¡¯s voice, he immediately opened his eyes. When he saw Lin Mo, his eyes immediately lit up. He was so excited that tears began filling his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re Lin Mo? I haven¡¯t seen you in so many years. You¡¯ve grown up.¡± Based on Lin Mo¡¯s memories, this old man was Butler Wang. Everyone called him Uncle Wang. He treated the original host very well during his younger days. For some reason, he was sent to this village. Seeing that Lin Mo and Uncle Wang knew each other, Old Lin did not say anything more. Once he introduced them, he left so they could catch up. ¡°Where are the rest of the people in Uncle Wang¡¯s auction house?¡± Uncle Wang laughed bitterly. ¡°There aren¡¯t any other people. I¡¯m the only one here.¡± For a moment, Lin Mo did not know what to say. He knew that there was nothing in the auction house right now. Otherwise, they would not have fallen into such a state. Although all of Lin Mo¡¯s valuables had been stolen by the robbers, the interspatial ring had already recognized its owner. Ordinary people would not be able to access it, so he still had it. After all, he was once a genius. Even if he was down and out, he should still have some good items. However, most of them had been used up by the original host. There were not many items left. If only these few items were enough to set up the auction house well. Anyway, that was simply a fantasy. Just as Lin Mo was at a loss, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind. He thought that he was hallucinating. Ding! [ The auction rebate system has been initiated! ] A huge screen appeared in front of Lin Mo. It was similar to those in online games. A few rows of words appeared. Lin Mo finally realized that the so-called auction rebate system could directly provide direct multiplier rebates. Furthermore, it had the basic ability to identify items. However, the rebates were random. For the time being, they could range from a few times to ten thousand times. The higher the multiple, the stronger one¡¯s own strength would be. There was also a limit to the quality of the items and rebate. Additionally, one could not auction off items that had rebates. Lin Mo¡¯s spirit was instantly roused. This rebate system was tailor-made for him. He could use it to improve the auction house. Who knows, he might even be able to use this opportunity to obtain rebate items to train his divine body. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Despite that, he did not have many things in his hands right now. He only had the most basic body-refining technique, [ Long Fist ]. It had nothing to do with cultivation and Lin Mo only wanted to strengthen his body. There was also the ordinary [ Iron Sword ] and some body-refining pills that would delay his illness.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo made a prompt decision and prepared to hold the first auction. After all, the auction house in Chuxin Village had not been open for a long time. Firstly, he wanted to let more people know about this auction house. Secondly, he wanted to try out the auction rebate system. Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s decision, Uncle Wang was a little surprised. He could not help but ask, ¡°Young Master Lin Mo, are you sure? We don¡¯t have anything to auction. This auction house has been empty for a long time. In fact, it¡¯s essentially an empty house.¡± Lin Mo nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Uncle Wang. I know what I¡¯m doing. I¡¯ll handle the items for auction. You just need to help spread the news around. Make sure that there are as many people as possible attending the auction.¡± Even though Uncle Wang still had some doubts, he followed Lin Mo¡¯s orders and did as he was told. On the other hand, Lin Mo received another visit from the village chief. The village chief hurriedly went up to him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired from your journey? Why are you looking for me?¡± Lin Mo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. ¡°Village chief, I wanted to ask you about Chuxin Village.¡± ¡°I thought it was something important. Is that it?¡± The village chief casually poured two cups of tea and its faint fragrance filled the room. Lin Mo had never smelled this fragrance before. It was very refreshing. ¡°These tea leaves are homegrown. They can¡¯t be compared to what you¡¯re used to. I hope you don¡¯t mind it.¡± Lin Mo took a sip. It tasted a little bitter. Then, a slight sweetness followed and it spread around his mouth, giving off an endless aftertaste. ¡°You should have already noticed the situation in Chuxin Village. There¡¯s no need for me to say more. Other than some bandits and robbers, the only forces that visit this place are the famous Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group and Wolf Mercenary Group.¡± Although Chuxin Village was small, it happened to be located at the intersection of several large cities. There were also some fine resources nearby. The place was quite remote but sometimes, mercenaries would stay there temporarily. The leaders of these two mercenary groups were around level six. They were definitely not weaker than the village chief. When the village chief heard that Lin Mo was going to hold an auction, he also did not think that it was a wise decision. ¡°You want me to invite them over?¡± The village chief shook his head. ¡°Their strength is about the same as mine, so they might not be willing to listen to me. Unless there is something good, they won¡¯t be interested.¡± Lin Mo said confidently, ¡°There will definitely be something good. Village chief, you just need to spread the word for me. Everything will be fine.¡± The village chief thought to himself, ¡®Since he came all the way over here to take over the auction house, he should have brought some things with him. I guess it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡¯ Thus, he agreed. Shortly after, the news of an auction being held in Chuxin Village was spread to all nearby factions. This was all thanks to the village chief and the other villagers. The villagers were more or less ordinary people. It was rare for someone like Lin Mo to come to the village and hold an auction. In fact, they had never encountered such a situation before. It almost felt like a hoax. All of a sudden, the deserted village had become much more lively. Everyone was doing their best to promote Lin Mo. ¡°I heard that there¡¯s going to be an auction at Chuxin Village. Are you going?¡± ¡°There¡¯s an auction at Chuxin Village? Are you kidding me? What can they sell? The villagers aren¡¯t very strong. Don¡¯t tell me that they¡¯re just going to sell some crops? If that happens, they¡¯ll be making a fool out of themselves.¡± ¡°Who knows. They might use the auction as a way to fool us.¡± ¡°I heard that the Lin family sent someone to take over the auction house.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s not a lie, right? If it¡¯s really held by someone from the Lin family, then there¡¯s no harm in going to take a look. Just treat it as a show.¡± Time passed quickly and soon, it was the day of the auction. Thanks to Uncle Wang and Lin Mo¡¯s hard work, the originally dilapidated auction house turned out looking decent. After publicizing for the past few days, more people came than Lin Mo had anticipated. The rumor of the auction being held by a member of the Lin family helped. More than half of the rooms were filled. However, the cultivation levels of these people were generally not high. This was not unexpected. Besides, why would people with high cultivation levels appear here? Under Lin Mo¡¯s signal, Uncle Wang started the auction. Lin Mo cleared his throat. ¡°The first item to be auctioned is a body refining pill. For cultivators, they¡¯ll be able to quickly recover their strength after eating it. For those at levels 1 and 2, they¡¯ll be able to increase their spiritual energy rapidly. The starting price is 100 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°200!¡± ¡°300!¡± There were not many medicinal pills in the border regions. Hence, even though the body refining pill was nothing out of the ordinary, people quickly placed their bids. In the end, it was sold for a thousand low-grade spirit stones. Spirit stones were divided into low, medium, high, and top-grade. Low-grade spirit stones were the worst, but they were also the most commonly used currency. Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones equal one middle-grade spirit stone, ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones equal one high-grade stone, and so on. Following the successful auction, a mechanical voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind once again. [ Ding! Host, you¡¯ve auctioned the body refining pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 10,000 times return. ] [ Acquired low-grade tier 9 pill. Heavenly Recovery Pill! ] Lin Mo took a deep breath. Fortunately, he was currently backstage. Thus, no one could see the shock and astonishment on his face. Tier nine pill! As the name implied, one could tell how powerful it was. A Heavenly Recovery Pill! This was previously what the god-devouring body needed. If one were to go berserk, this thing could save their life.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo was unable to calm down for a long time. Even the original host of this body had never heard of a Heavenly Recovery Pill before. The Lin clan was very powerful and the original host was a genius. Since he had never seen this pill, it was enough to show its worth. Having this pill was equivalent to having a life-saving talisman. No matter what went wrong during cultivation, there would be a way to remedy it. It was not an exaggeration to say that this pill was the dream item of almost every cultivator. Yet Lin Mo was able to obtain it easily. If word got out, it would infuriate people to death. The gap between Lin Mo and other cultivators had widened in an instant. After Lin Mo had composed himself, he went to auction off the second item. It was his personal sword. The current situation was different from the past. Other than being slightly sharper and being made using slightly better materials, this sword was rather basic. There was nothing special about it. In the end, it was auctioned off for one thousand and five hundred low-grade spirit stones. [ Ding! The host has auctioned off an iron sword. ] [ 1,000 fold return has been successfully triggered! ] [ You have obtained a mid-grade tier 7 Ice Soul Silver Light Sword! ] This did not excite Lin Mo as much as the pill. There was indeed a difference between a thousandfold and ten-thousand fold return. It seemed like his luck had been pretty good at the start. Of course, this did not mean that the recent item he had obtained was not good. Even the village chief and the two mercenary group leaders¡¯ weapons were far inferior to this sword. The mid-grade tier seven Ice Soul Silver Light Sword was able to affect the surrounding elements. An elemental weapon was also very rare. Furthermore, the resources here were scarce. Thus, it was difficult to come across a seventh rank weapon. Even in the Lin family, this was not a common sight. The third article was a body tempering cultivation technique. It was quite ordinary. Normal people would not be able to use it while cultivators despise it. In short, it was basically useless. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t underestimate this cultivation technique. The younger generation must learn it. This is also a cultivation technique that the Lin family doesn¡¯t pass on to outsiders. I¡¯ve only unwillingly brought it out for the sake of this auction¡­¡± As Uncle Wang listened to Lin Mo¡¯s words, he felt that something was not right. Despite that, he had no way of refuting. The same goes for the people who were present. Lin Mo¡¯s persuasive words were learned from the twenty-first century. Even though he was trying to scam people, he felt that it must be done. As expected, after his extravagant bragging, the article was bought at the price of one thousand and seven hundred low-grade spirit stones. [ Ding! The host has auctioned off the body tempering cultivation technique. ] [ Successfully triggered 500 times return. ] [ Obtained tier 5 top-grade martial art, Dragon Elephant Fist technique! ] The rewards from the auction return system could not be recycled. This was done to prevent people from taking advantage of the loophole. Using unlimited returns to obtain unlimited rewards was impossible. ¡°Lin family¡¯s authentic items? All of them are just trash. You¡¯re only deceiving these country bumpkins who haven¡¯t seen the world. In fact, you¡¯re nothing but a swindler.¡± Just as everything was going smoothly, an unpleasant voice could suddenly be heard. The person who said this was a middle-aged man. Judging from his appearance, he should be from a mercenary group. However, it was unknown which mercenary group he belonged to. As soon as he finished speaking, several people echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right. You¡¯re trying to fool us with rubbish.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you ashamed of auctioning these items?¡± ¡°I advise everyone to disperse as soon as possible. We, the Hungry Wolf mercenary group, have plenty of these things. I can¡¯t believe I purposely came here to take a look. What a waste of time and energy.¡± The atmosphere in the auction hall became awkward and silent. These few people caused everyone else¡¯s expressions to turn ugly. Moreover, due to their tyrannical might, no one was able to argue back. At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly spoke out, ¡°Today is just a warm-up. The next auction will be held in three days. There will be a tier 5 top-grade martial art to be auctioned off.¡± These words were like sparks falling into a pot of oil. The gloomy atmosphere was instantly ignited. ¡°What?! Did I hear wrongly? A tier 5 top-grade martial art! Is it true?¡± ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s trying to trick us into coming here again?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. After all, if he goes back on his words, his future auctions will be doomed.¡± Lin Mo did not say anything else and only added, ¡°This auction house is also willing to pay a higher commission than other auction houses to collect the items.¡± Before the crowd could digest what he said, Lin Mo had already thrown out another piece of important news. Then, he turned and left, ignoring everyone¡¯s reactions. By the time the crowd had dispersed, it was already midnight. Uncle Wang and Lin Mo decided to take a short break after tidying up. Uncle Wang wanted to say something but he seemed hesitant. ¡°Young Master Lin Mo, you said earlier that you¡¯re going to auction off a tier 5 top-grade martial art¡­¡± During their earlier chat, Uncle Wang had already found out about the robbery that Lin Mo had encountered. He was a little worried that Lin Mo was spouting empty words due to anger. Integrity was the most important thing for an auctioneer. If Lin Mo was unable to bring out the promised item, then everything would be ruined. Lin Mo knew that Uncle Wang was just worried about him. So, he comforted the old butler. ¡°When the time comes, you¡¯ll see for yourself. I¡¯m going to be cultivating for the next few days. Uncle Wang, try your best to collect some items that are 3rd rank and above. Also, make preparations for the upcoming auction.¡± After giving his instructions, Lin Mo went to the backyard of the auction house to find a secluded place. The auction house was lacking in every area, but it was big. Lin Mo was able to find a spot where he would not be disturbed. Since Uncle Wang would take care of things, Lin Mo could cultivate in peace for the next three days.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation With a thought, the Heavenly Recovery Pill appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s palm. The air was immediately filled with a rich medicinal fragrance, refreshing one¡¯s heart and mind. The white pill was very round and nine circle patterns encircled it. As expected of a top-grade pill. Just by looking at it, Lin Mo felt that his exhausted spiritual energy was replenished. It was as if some unknown power had entered his body. Without any hesitation, Lin Mo swallowed the pill and it slid down his throat. Suddenly, he felt as if there was a small sun in his abdomen. His body became warmer and warmer. Lin Mo tried to use his spiritual energy to release this lump of heat source. He could feel the various elements in the air begin to pulsate. Countless amounts of spiritual energy were drawn into his body. Originally, his spiritual power was so little that it was almost empty. With the sudden influx of so much spiritual power that traveled at lightning speed flowing through his meridians and blood, it felt like they were attacking major acupoints in his body. Each impact would bring waves of intense pain. Lin Mo felt as if he was going to drown. If this happened to an ordinary person, they would have already started bleeding from their seven orifices. Their meridians would also have exploded. Fortunately, Lin Mo had a god-slaying body. Thus, his face only turned slightly pale. Nonetheless, it felt as if all of his bones and tendons were being crushed. Lin Mo could even faintly hear the sound of his joints cracking. His forehead was completely covered in sweat. He was unsure how long he would last. The pill¡¯s heaven-revolving spiritual energy continued to flow throughout Lin Mo¡¯s body. His meridians, which had been stagnant for a long time, had finally expanded. ¡°Boom!¡± It felt like something was pouring down. Previously, Lin Mo¡¯s meridians were only the size of a finger. Now, they were comparable to a waterfall. The speed at which the spiritual energy flowed was getting faster and faster. At the same time, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed was also increasing. The spiritual energy around was being guided and they continuously flowed towards this place. Countless black impurities were expelled out of Lin Mo¡¯s body. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of comfort enveloped his body. He had removed the shackles of his mortal body as if he had been enlightened. Lin Mo felt like he was soaking in a hot spring. Every pore on his body had opened up. He was breathing spiritual energy in and out. The spiritual energy had been refined to a purer state. If someone were to see this dream-like scene right now, they would definitely be shocked. Countless specks of spiritual energy crowded around Lin Mo. The spiritual energy even turned into a white mist. Eventually, they formed into a huge cocoon. Lin Mo was within it. A divine light flickered. It made him look like a God. The light was soon extinguished, but the spiritual energy was getting more and more abundant. After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. It was as if a clear divine light was surrounding him. In this state, people may not dare look at him directly. Lin Mo let out a long breath. He could not help but sigh. ¡°As expected of the Heavenly Recovery Pill.¡± His entire body had been transformed by the pill. Lin Mo felt like he had been reborn. There was no way an ordinary person¡¯s body could contain so much spiritual energy. Their bodies would have exploded and they would have died long ago. This was the crucial difference. The auction return system was like a cheat tool. With this system, Lin Mo would no longer have to worry about cultivation resources! As long as he had good luck, all the top resources in this world would be within his grasp! Additionally, with his god-slaying body, Lin Mo¡¯s absorption speed was much faster than an average person¡¯s. After consuming a tier nine medicinal pill, those with a low cultivation base would take months to absorb it. On the other hand, he was able to absorb all the medicinal effects in a short period of time. Furthermore, Lin Mo had also recovered his peak of fifth rank strength. His base cultivation was essentially done. Lin Mo circulated his spiritual force once more before starting to cultivate the ¡°Dragon Elephant Fist technique¡±. By the time he opened his eyes, two days had passed. However, he felt as if only a few hours had gone by. If Uncle Wang did not wake him up, Lin Mo would probably continue to meditate. Seeing Lin Mo once again, Uncle Wang felt that he was a little different. Despite that, he could not exactly pinpoint the difference other than the aura around him was more extraordinary. ¡°Young Master Lin Mo, I¡¯ve already spread the news. All the experts in this vicinity have heard that Chuxin Village¡¯s auction house is about to auction off a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique. From the looks of it, they¡¯re all determined to obtain it.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He was satisfied with Uncle Wang¡¯s efficiency. ¡°Thank you, Uncle Wang. You¡¯ve worked hard these past few days.¡± Uncle Wang was slightly overwhelmed by the praise. ¡°This is my job. Young Master Lin Mo is too courteous. By the way, where are we supposed to get a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique? Those people were so enthusiastic. If you could not present the article, they would probably tear down the place. Literally.¡± Lin Mo had the auction return system in his hands, so there was nothing to worry about. There was only one issue on his mind. The resources he obtained were all reserved for his own use to satisfy the god-slaying body. As for the weapons, he would keep the ones that were handy. The rest would be auctioned off. It was the same for martial arts. He would first cultivate them, then auction them off. Although there was a rule that the system¡¯s rewards could not be commerced back to it, Lin Mo could still use them to earn spirit stones or other items. Otherwise, he would not be able to obtain other rewards. In short, no matter what, it was a profitable business. ¡°Also, while the young master was cultivating, I¡¯ve used the Lin family¡¯s reputation along with the news of the upcoming auction to purchase quite a few items that were above 3rd rank. There are also a number of people who are willing to send their items over to be auctioned off. Young Master Lin Mo, I hope that you will not deduct their profits when the time comes.¡± Uncle Wang was meticulous in his calculations. It did not matter if the initial stage of the auction earned them only a little money. The most important thing was to make a name for the young master. Lin Mo had the same thought. ¡°Uncle Wang, don¡¯t worry. I will only take 10% of their profits.¡± In an ordinary auction house, if people wanted to auction off their items, they would have to pay at least thirty to fifty percent of their profits as handling fees. Yet, Lin Mo only planned to take ten percent. This was practically charity. Lin Mo¡¯s goals were not tied to his profits. The most important thing was the auction return system. As long as an item was auctioned, there would be a return. Uncle Wang was slightly moved by Lin Mo¡¯s actions. ¡°Young master, are you trying to use this method to build up the reputation for our auction house so we¡¯ll receive better items in the future?¡± Unexpectedly, Lin Mo shook his head and said mysteriously, ¡°I have my own agendas. Furthermore, there¡¯s really a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique that¡¯ll be auctioned off.¡± Upon hearing those words, Uncle Wang became curious. However, since Lin Mo did not elaborate, he did not pester further either.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Uncle Wang led Lin Mo to the room where the auction items were stored. The room had many shelves. Some of the paint had peeled off, making them look mottled. However, their surface had been polished well. They were smooth and shiny. It was probably Uncle Wang¡¯s handiwork. Only a few of the shelves were filled with items, making the room seem somewhat empty. Lin Mo was confident that one day, this room would be filled with a dazzling array of items. Lin Mo followed Uncle Wang to the front row of the shelves. There were a number of items. ¡°Young master, these are the four best items I¡¯ve obtained in the past two days. First is the worry-free grass, a low-grade tier 4 herb. It can treat chronic illnesses and also help in cultivation. This grass was picked by a young man in the ancient forest nearby. It¡¯s effective for cultivators below tier 6 foundation establishment and helps them reach the peak of tier 6.¡± The grass on the counter looked no different from the wild grass by the roadside. It was very ordinary, but it had a few extra leaves. Most of the people here were below tier 6 and many of them could use it. Lin Mo believed that it would catch most people¡¯s attention. ¡°The next item is a 4th rank top-grade martial art.¡± If Lin Mo was unable to bring out the tier 5 top-grade martial art, Uncle Wang was going to use this piece of article as a replacement. It should be fine. At least, not everyone would be angry. Uncle Wang got lucky. This article was originally someone else¡¯s family heirloom but due to their family¡¯s decline, they had no choice but to sell it to clear off their debt. Coincidentally, they heard about the upcoming auction. Thus, they reluctantly sent it over. Lin Mo casually flipped through the piece of article. ¡°It¡¯s quite a good sword technique.¡± ¡°Moving on. This is a tier 3 top-grade qi essence pill. I¡¯ve obtained it from the most outstanding local alchemist. It can quickly recover and nurture one¡¯s vitality as well as solidify their foundation.¡± There were also alchemists around this place, but their level and strength were not high. A tier 3 top-grade qi essence pill should already be beyond their expectations. ¡°Lastly, here¡¯s a tier 3 top-grade black fish egg. It¡¯s from the leader of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group residing at Black Water Lake. Originally, he planned to sell it when he arrived in the next town. However, when he heard that an auction was going to be held here, he immediately sent it here instead.¡± The small fish egg was placed in a transparent glass container. It was as thick as ink and did not have any impurities. In fact, it looked just like a black jade. There were also a few second rank miscellaneous items. Nonetheless, they still exceeded Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. Since this place was remote, Lin Mo did not expect to come across any good items. However, there were actually decent resources. The key was knowing how to excavate them. It was rare for there to be an auction. To boot, a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique would be the finale. Almost everyone decided to join in and brought out their best items. Besides, the handling fee was very little. If they could sell off their items for a decent price, then they would make a huge profit. With these items, Lin Mo began to plan for tomorrow¡¯s auction. Other than those four items, there was still the tier five Dragon Elephant Fist technique. Lin Mo had already learned this technique. He could clearly remember it in his mind. Hence, he could auction it off. The auction house¡¯s reputation would definitely increase. ¡°Tomorrow, we¡¯ll auction off the 2nd and 3rd rank items first. The last item will be the tier 5 cultivation technique.¡± Uncle Wang nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s for sure. If we start with the tier 5 cultivation technique, there wouldn¡¯t be any suspense.¡± Once people were heated up, the auction would truly begin. Suddenly, Uncle Wang thought of something and said, ¡°Oh right. Young master, we still lack an auctioneer. Don¡¯t you think we should look for someone? After all, neither of us are suitable.¡± Although Uncle Wang and Lin Mo were the hosts of the previous auction, they were still amateurs. Lin Mo¡¯s modern speech skills were alright, but he was no professional. It could work temporarily. However, in the long run, they needed a better solution. How could an auction not have a professional auctioneer? This only happened because Lin Mo had just arrived and did not have time to make the full preparations. Anyway, Lin Mo decided to leave this matter to Uncle Wang. ¡°Uncle Wang, I¡¯ll let you handle it. I¡¯m willing to pay a high price to hire an auctioneer, so please keep an eye out for someone suitable. The auctioneer¡¯s skill doesn¡¯t have to be the best. That can be attained through experience. What¡¯s most important is honesty. Of course, the person also needs to be reliable as well.¡± If the auctioneer turned out to be a thief and ended up stealing everything, Lin Mo would be in a pickle. Uncle Wang nodded. ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry, young master. I won¡¯t let you down..¡± Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although the decoration of the venue was simple and limited, it was enough. Everything that needed to be there was present. Many people had already arrived. Sitting at the VIP seat was the village chief. His clothes were very simple and he looked no different from an ordinary villager. There was also a kind and amiable look on his face. However, he was not to be underestimated. The aura that he inadvertently exuded was proof of it. There were a few middle-aged men in their thirties. They wore robes made of animal skin. Although it was unsure what beasts they were exactly, the material looked very good. The accessories on their bodies were also not something an ordinary person could afford. Their eyes were bright. At the same time, they emitted a murderous aura. At a glance, one could tell they spill blood to earn a living. Uncle Wang introduced, ¡°They are from the Wolf Mercenary Group and Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group.¡± Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the door. Four or five people walked in. From the looks of it, they belonged to a mercenary group. The leader was wearing a belt made from python skin on his waist. There was a huge snakehead on it. The snake still retained its ferocious and terrifying look from when it was alive. In fact, it looked as if it would come back alive in the next second. Everyone was scared and automatically made way for them. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the leader of the Snake Head Mercenary Group to come.¡± As the leader sat down, it caused a small uproar. The leaders from the mercenaries group had gathered in one spot. Their gazes met and they seemed determined to win. Before the auction even started, everyone could already detect the smell of gunpowder. They could not help but sigh. ¡°The tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique had attracted various people from the surrounding small towns.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since Chuxin Village has been this lively.¡± ¡°Yea. It¡¯s also rare to see the leaders of these mercenary groups gather at the same place. I guess it¡¯s not unexpected. A tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique is pretty rare. Almost everyone would be interested in it.¡± Indeed, a top-grade tier five cultivation technique was not common. This might not be considered rare in large cities but in small towns, it was a different story. It could even be seen as extremely precious. There were quite a few forces near Chuxin Village. They were evenly matched. Everyone wanted to become the overlord of this area, but they could not achieve a decisive victory. When they heard about the top-grade tier five cultivation technique, they all rushed over regardless if it was true or not. Their goal was to obtain the top-grade tier five cultivation technique so that they could strengthen their own forces. ¡°I wonder if this auction actually has the tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique. So many mercenary leaders have attended.¡± ¡°The news should be true. No one would joke about such a thing unless they were trying to sabotage themselves. Moreover, it¡¯s not a good idea to fool these mercenary leaders. If they can¡¯t bring out the item, this place will be destroyed.¡± ¡°I wonder who will win the tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique. Apparently, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group had brought along a lot of spirit stones.¡± ¡°The Wolf Mercenary Group is also quite wealthy. Supposedly, they completed a few difficult missions a couple of days ago.¡± Everyone was discussing among themselves. Wu Jin held the auction hammer in his hand and slowly walked onto the stage. He was the auctioneer Uncle Wang had hired. Allegedly, he was a decent person. Lin Mo planned to observe him for a period of time. If things went wrong, he would replace him. ¡°This auction has officially started. There are a total of five items up for grabs! The first item is a grade 3 top-grade essence pill. Starting price is 1,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief said, ¡°2,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Lin Mo looked at the village chief without batting an eyelid. He was an upright person who guarded the village. Moreover, he had never taken anything from the villagers or used his position to make a profit. Thus, he did not have much wealth. The village chief only bid to help Lin Mo and to liven up the atmosphere. As expected, after the village chief¡¯s bid, more and more people joined in. There was no longer a need for the village chief to make further bids. The place had a proper atmosphere and the bids were getting higher and higher. ¡°2,500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The leader of the Snake Head Mercenary Group, Guo Wen, made a bid. He rarely used medicinal pills. The ones he had were mostly first or second rank. Guo Wen did not expect the first item to be auctioned would be a third rank medicinal pill. This excited him quite a bit. ¡°3,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Another voice followed closely from behind. It was none other than the leader of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group, Li Yunfei. His eyes were basically burning as he looked at the pill on the stage. He needed it to increase his strength. Li Yunfei was the weakest leader among the three mercenary groups. He had just entered the sixth rank, so he urgently needed this kind of pill to consolidate his strength. The price tripled in an instant, causing many people to drop out. Only the mercenary group leaders were competing. ¡°I knew it. Ordinary people like us won¡¯t win. There¡¯s no way I could afford to compete with them.¡± Guo Wen and Li Yunfei clearly wanted this pill. The two of them continued to go up against each other, making the atmosphere more lively. On the other hand, the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group, Huang Kegan, stayed silent. He was the first of the three mercenary group leaders to reach the sixth rank and was proud of his achievement. Despite that, there was a huge gap between the sixth and seventh stages. In other words, this pill could not help him increase his strength. If one of the other two mercenary group leaders bought it, they would reduce the power gap between them. The advantage Huang Kegan previously had would slowly disappear. So, he decided to wait and observe the situation. If there really was a top-grade tier five cultivation technique, he would definitely buy it no matter the cost.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the end, the pill was bought by Guo Wen at the price of four thousand spirit stones. It was four times the original price. At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 3 top-grade qi essence pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 500 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade profound qi pill, Chaos Pill! ] Although it was a tier five top-grade pill, it could not be compared to the Heavenly Recovery Pill. It would not benefit Lin Mo much at the moment. Lin Mo planned to use the Chaos Pill to exchange for spirit stones at the next auction. This way, he could also continue to increase the auction house¡¯s reputation. Meanwhile, Wu Jin was smiling. The first item for auction had already given him great confidence. It was likely that the subsequent items would be better. ¡°The second item is a low-grade tier 4 herb, worry-free grass. Starting price is 3,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Wu Jin carefully took out a tray. There were a few tender green leaves on it. They looked no different from ordinary grass, but everyone could smell its faint refreshing medicinal fragrance. ¡°Even the starting price is not something ordinary people like us can afford.¡± The starting price put off many people. On the other hand, Li Yunfei was overjoyed. He was somewhat glad that he did not win the bid for the qi essence pill. To him, the worry-free grass was better because its effects and medicinal properties were more gentle. It was more suitable for him to consolidate his sixth stage foundation establishment strength. Moreover, the worry-free grass was useless to Huang Kegan. Thus, he would not place a bid. As for Guo Wen, he had just spent a large portion of his spirit stones, so he should not be buying the herb. Other than those two, Li Yunfei believed that no one would be able to outbid him. Guo Wen felt a little bit regretful in his heart. ¡°Forget it, the qi essence pill isn¡¯t bad. I still have a chance at getting the tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique. I¡¯ll save my spirit stones for now.¡± Everything went exactly as Li Yunfei predicted. He ended up buying the worry-free grass for six thousand low-grade spirit stones. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a low-grade tier 4 worry-free grass. ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times return! ] [ Obtained a low-grade tier 7 worry-free fruit! ] The worry-free fruit was a product of the worry-free grass. In fact, it was the essence of the entire herb. It was even rarer and did not have any side effects. Not only could it quickly heal wounds, but it could also help the user attain the next level. ¡°The third item is a tier 4 top-grade martial art, Frost Sword technique. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Uncle Wang took out a wooden box. It was made of high-quality agarwood. One could see that it was quite old. The lines on it were almost indistinguishable and the surrounding edges were also somewhat off. Traces of time were revealed everywhere. There was also a faint layer of blue ice crystal covering the external layer of the box. The moment Uncle Wang opened the box, a chill instantly struck him. Everyone could vaguely see the frosty qi surrounding the box. Indeed, it was a genuine tier four top-grade martial art. Huang Kegan could not hold himself back any longer. He immediately shouted, ¡°5,500 spirit stones!¡± A tier four top-grade martial art would certainly help in his cultivation. Besides, the tier five top-grade martial art may not even exist. It could be a gimmick that the auction house had deliberately created to hype things up. Even if it really existed, it might not be suitable for him. If his cultivation was unsuccessful, then everything would be pointless. It was better to settle for the second-best option. Most people present had the same thoughts as Huang Kegan. This also included Li Yunfei. He planned to go all out for this cultivation technique and shouted, ¡°5,600 spirit stones!¡± Guo Wen joined the bidding as well. However, he was a little worried because he did not bring a lot of spirit stones. Originally, he only wanted to join in the fun. He did not expect so many good things to be on auction. In other words, he was not well-prepared. The gazes of the mercenary leaders met, creating crackling sparks. They were all determined to win. In the end, this cultivation technique was bought by Li Yunfei at the price of seven thousand spirit stones. Guo Wen and Huang Keqian were so angry that they could only hit their chests and stomp their feet. Their only hope was that the subsequent items would be better. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 top-grade martial art, the Frost Sword technique. ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times return. ] [ Obtained a high-grade tier 7 sword art, Frost Sword Manual! ] When Lin Mo heard the notification sound in his head, he instantly knew the Frost Sword Manual was something extremely powerful. Since he had just learned the Frost Sword technique before auctioning the article off, the two of them came hand in hand. ¡°The fourth item is a tier 3 top-grade black fish egg. Starting price is 2,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Compared to the previous item, the black fish egg was rather lacking. It did not interest many people. Ironfish were creatures from the black water lake in the ancient forest. Due to their personalities, they were very difficult to tame. Moreover, their habitats were very well hidden. Not many people had spotted an iron fish before. Needless to say, this was their first time seeing a black fish egg. Furthermore, they had no idea how to raise it. For a moment, those who were interested stared at the pitch-black fish egg on the tray until they forgot to bid. The fish egg was like black jade. Some might even think it was a piece decoration. ¡°No one has ever raised an iron fish before. Maybe you can tame it while it¡¯s still young.¡± ¡°The iron fish are known for their bad temper. It wouldn¡¯t be easy to tame them even if they were young. I think it¡¯s better to just eat the egg. Besides, the egg makes a great tonic. If you have the means, you can add all kinds of herbs and boil them together with the egg.¡± Everyone was discussing lividly. There were not many people who actually bid. After all, the practicality of the fish egg was not great. The group leaders were mostly satisfied with their items such as the qi essence pill and worry-free grass. They did not need the fish egg to replenish their strength. Hence, to avoid wasting spirit stones, they refrained from bidding this round. In the end, the black fish egg was bought by a merchant at the price of three thousand low-grade spirit stones. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 3 top-grade black fish egg. ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 6 top-grade lookout fish egg! ] Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation So far, four items have appeared. The auction was coming to an end. Since the tier five top-grade cultivation technique had yet to make an appearance, the audience could not sit still. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Where¡¯s the tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique? Do you have it or not?¡± ¡°Did you trick us into coming here?¡± ¡°You probably only have the tier 4 cultivation technique. In order to attract more people, you lied and said it¡¯s tier 5.¡± Wu Jin tried his best to calm the crowd down, but it was to no avail. In fact, he was not too confident about the article in question either. Lin Mo had yet to bring it out. It might not even exist in the first place. At this moment, Lin Mo walked up to the stage and whispered to Wu Jin. ¡°Everyone, please calm down. We understand how you feel. The next item will be auctioned by the owner of this auction house himself.¡± After Wu Jin said that, Lin Mo was in charge. The latter slowly took out a venerable-looking box. This box looked even more ancient than the one before. There were mysterious carvings on it. They looked like totems and symbols. There also seemed to be an image of a dragon and an elephant. In an instant, the noisy crowd became silent. They stared at the box attentively. There was indeed something extraordinary about this box. The box was even emitting a powerful aura. Whatever that was stored inside, it must be really incredible. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard. As Lin Mo opened the box, the sound of a dragon¡¯s roar could be heard. It was so loud that it caused everyone¡¯s spirits to shake. Pale-colored gas rose from the box to the top. Then, it began to take the shape of elephants with long tusks. The gas elephants charged toward the crowd menacingly. This caused the people sitting in the front row to involuntarily lean back. They were scared that they would be trampled by the herd of elephants. However, since the elephants were made of gas, they dispersed after a short while. ¡°The fifth item up for auction, a tier 5 top-grade martial art, Dragon Elephant Fist technique. Starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The audience¡¯s expressions were almost in sync. Their mouths were agape as they stared at Lin Mo. They were unable to recover from the shock. There really was a top-grade tier five cultivation technique! Wu Jin and Uncle Wang were equally surprised. Lin Mo was telling the truth after all. This was not merely a gimmick. Uncle Wang knew that Lin Mo was robbed, so he did not expect the latter to have such a good item on him. His respect for Lin Mo had risen to a whole new level. ¡°I must get my hands on that cultivation technique!¡± ¡°15,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± This sudden call for a price grabbed everyone¡¯s attention. For a moment, the audience went crazy and began bidding non-stop. The price rose higher and higher. Even though the price was several times higher than the previous items, not many people backed out. The crowd was full of enthusiasm. A top-grade cultivation technique was extremely rare. Some people might not be able to attain one their entire lives. The crowd got even more heated. Many people¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. Even the veins on their foreheads were popping out. They were hysterical. It almost looked like they were going to fight. This was basically the climax of the auction. It was insane! Of course, there were rich cultivators in the crowd. However, they could not be compared to the leaders of the mercenary groups. After all, they had an entire gang backing them up. ¡°22,000 spirit stones!¡± Everyone was annoyed at Huang Kegan¡¯s bid, but there was nothing they could do. Their eyes got even redder due to the anger. The treasure was within their reach. If only they had the money. Li Yunfei could not help but sigh. ¡°In the end, we still lost to the Wolf Mercenary Group.¡± Meanwhile, Guo Wen was astonished. He did not expect to find so many good items on auction in this small village. Even a top-grade tier five cultivation technique was available. It was a pity that he did not bring enough money today. However, on second thought, he had already gained a lot from this trip. Guo Wen comforted himself by thinking, ¡®Perhaps there would be another opportunity next time.¡¯ Upon seeing that no one else was bidding, Huang Kegan¡¯s face lit up. His patience had paid off. If he had bid on the previous items, he would not be able to obtain the tier five top-grade cultivation technique so easily. With the ¡°Dragon Elephant Fist technique¡±, Huang Kegan¡¯s strength would definitely increase exponentially. He might even be able to use it to fight against a level seven expert. It was not impossible. In the end, tier five top-grade cultivation technique was sold to Huang Kegan for twenty-two thousand spirit stones. There was no notification from the system. As the rule stated, item obtained from the system that was auctioned would not be counted. Although he was well aware, Lin Mo still felt a little disappointed. Despite that, Lin Mo had obtained many spirit stones. So, he felt like he did not lose out. ¡°Our auction has come to a successful conclusion. Don¡¯t feel discouraged if you did not get your desired item. There will be another tier 5 article in the next auction. As for whether it¡¯s martial arts or medicinal herbs, please come and see for yourself.¡± Lin Mo turned around and left after leaving a cliffhanger. Even though the auction had already ended, the enthusiasm of the crowd still did not die down. ¡°This trip was not a waste at all. I actually got to see a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique.¡± ¡°As expected, the people from the Lin family are really different. With such a large sum of money and so many good items, their younger generation is indeed formidable.¡± ¡°I think the biggest winner today is the Wolf Mercenary Group. With a tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique, they¡¯ll soon become the strongest force in Chuxin Village..¡± Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation By the time everyone had dispersed, it was already midnight. Uncle Wang recorded the earnings. His face was full of excitement. ¡°Young Master Lin Mo, we¡¯ve successfully auctioned off five items and earned a total of 44,000 spirit stones. That¡¯s roughly equivalent to the entire foundation of an ordinary mercenary group.¡± Uncle Wang was rather shocked when he saw this number. His hands even trembled. He had never seen so many spirit stones in his entire life. On the other hand, Lin Mo was a little calmer. This was only the beginning. In the future, he would definitely earn more. The more resources he had, the more items he could auction off. Then, the system would hand out more rewards. As things snowballed, he would grow stronger and stronger. At that time, he would be able to obtain top-grade spirit stones effortlessly. Upon seeing Lin Mo¡¯s calm expression, Uncle Wang suddenly felt ashamed of himself. Nonetheless, his heart was filled with respect for the former. ¡°Uncle Wang, continue to collect items for the upcoming auction. I don¡¯t want anything below tier 3. For items above tier 4, buy them even if they cost a large sum of money. I¡¯ll be cultivating for the next few days. Don¡¯t disturb me if there¡¯s nothing urgent.¡± Lin Mo had his own goals. He wanted to raise the quality of the auction house bit by bit. Furthermore, he would not reject any visitors. If they could attend, it meant they had money. This way, Lin Mo could earn a lot of spirit stones. After giving his instructions, Lin Mo once again went to the secluded place behind the auction hall and began cultivating. This time, he received four items from the system. They were the worry-free fruit, lookout fish egg, Chaos Pill, and Frost Sword Manual. Lin Mo immediately chose to refine the worry-free fruit. The entire fruit floated in mid-air and its emerald green color made it look like a high-quality jade. Through the light, one could see the plump and juicy flesh of the fruit. Then, as if it was being pulled by some unknown power, the fruit slowly entered Lin Mo¡¯s body. Extremely pure energy flowed through his extraordinary meridians and Lin Mo was enveloped by an exuberant aura. Every single one of Lin Mo¡¯s meridians was being nurtured by the aura of life. He felt like he had been reborn. The spiritual energy within his body was like a surging tide, rising at an extreme speed. In an instant, Lin Mo leveled up to level six! Lin Mo felt like he had opened the door to a new world, a realm where nobody had reached before. The energy within his body became orderly. As if an invisible large hand had appeared, it guided them towards a certain point. The massive amount of spiritual energy formed a whirlpool. It continuously absorbed and purified all matters. Faint light spots floated in the air. They gathered together before condensing into the shape of a small stone cube. This was the sign of a successful foundation establishment. Although the stone cube was very small, it contained the purest and most powerful energy. An ancient aura appeared from the bottom of the stone cube. Seemingly, a mysterious existence had been awakened. A pure golden color spread out throughout the entire area. It was filled with excellence, nobility, and greatness. An ordinary person¡¯s stone cube would be white in color. Lin Mo was different because he had a god-slaying body. His body allowed him to absorb the purest energy, thus, creating the golden cube. This was also an indication of his powerful abilities ¡°Sigh, the progress is still a little slow. Perhaps the resources collected at Chuxin Village are becoming less and less useful.¡± If anyone heard Lin Mo¡¯s words, they would probably be angered to death. Only a few days ago, Lin Mo was still at level one. Not only did he jump to the 6th rank in a short period of time, but he had also successfully built his foundation. A normal person would not be able to catch up with him even if they took a rocket. Even the world¡¯s most renowned genius would take an entire month. Lin Mo¡¯s speed was clearly abnormal. Suddenly, Lin Mo felt a strange life force fluctuation. It came from none other than the lookout fish egg. He took it out to have a look. There were faint ripples on the surface of the white fish egg. It seemed like there was an actual small fish swimming in there. The system did not provide much information about the fish egg. It was only said that the fish could swim in the wind. Nonetheless, the fish egg was still a tier 6 top-grade item. It¡¯s likely to be strong. With a tap of Lin Mo¡¯s fingertip, milky-white spiritual energy slowly flowed out. It was mixed with a faint golden glow. The spiritual energy quickly entered the fish egg. Lin Mo was unsure if he had mistaken, but the ripples on the surface of the fish egg appeared to be even more obvious. He allocated a portion of his life force to the lookout fish egg. Next, he only needed to wait for the fish egg to hatch. After that, Lin Mo continued to cultivate his Frost Sword technique. Coincidentally, the Frost Sword Manual came in handy. The two complemented each other and an amazing power was unleashed. The outcomes were divided into three stages. A small success, great success, and perfection. Lim Mo was very lucky because both the technique and manual¡¯s attributes were compatible. His cultivation went even smoother than the ¡°Dragon Elephant Fist technique¡±. As Lin Mo trained, the temperature around him became lower and lower. However, it did not seem to affect him. A few days later, pale blue ice crystals formed around Lin Mo. The ground was covered with a thin layer of ice. It almost felt like winter. From afar, it looked like he was wrapped in a gigantic ice cocoon. ¡°Rumble!¡± There was a loud bang and countless ice crystals were shattered. A vertical light shot up into the sky and countless snowflakes scattered everywhere. At the same time, every single crystal was covered with qi. Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was cold and an icy aura surrounded him. It almost felt like he was the God of ice and snow. All his senses were sharper than ever, as though he was a sword. The air was also filled with killing intent. In just five days, he had already trained to the great success stage. Even if Lin Mo was to meet a level seven expert, he could face them without any issues. At the same time, the lookout fish egg had also hatched.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo continued to meditate as the Frost Sword floated in mid-air. The divine weapon in front of him seemed to have been forged from ice and snow. At the same time, the blade reflected his sharp side profile and kept emitting a cold aura. This icy aura was completely absorbed by Lin Mo. It flowed through the various meridians in his body while constantly tempering with his muscles, bones, blood, and flesh. It was as if his blood was tainted by an extremely cold aura. At the same time, a white figure swiftly passed by Lin Mo. It was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with one¡¯s naked eyes. Upon closer inspection, the figure seemed to be the shape of a fish. It was very small. Yet, it did not seem to be restricted by anything. It came and went without a trace. Time went by as Lin Mo cultivated. It had already been six days since the last auction. There was still one more day before the next auction. After some calculations, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. The icy blue color in his eyes disappeared in an instant. It seemed like the entire space was enveloped by ice and snow. However, everything returned to normal in an instant. Lin Mo restrained his aura. All the spiritual energy returned to his body and no changes could be seen based on his external appearance. In fact, Lin Mo looked no different from when he first arrived. Only he himself knew about his improvements. He was basically the strongest person in Chuxin Village. In fact, it would be hard to find someone that was on equal footing with him. Uncle Wang and Wu Jin had been waiting outside for a long time. Wu Jin looked at the sky and said worriedly, ¡°What¡¯s the time? Young master couldn¡¯t have forgotten about the auction, right?¡± As far as Uncle Wang knew, Lin Mo was always punctual. ¡°The young master said that he would come out today. He¡¯ll definitely keep his word.¡± Wu Jin and Lin Mo had not spent much time together, so they did not really know each other. Even after hearing what Uncle Wang said, Wu Jin was unable to relax. ¡°There¡¯s only one more day until the auction, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± As the two of them were talking, they suddenly felt their surrounding temperature drop. It felt like a snowstorm was about to occur. Suddenly, Uncle Wang sensed an extremely familiar aura. He blurted happily, ¡°It¡¯s the young master!¡± As soon as he said that, Lin Mo appeared. His figure fluctuated, like an ice pine growing on a cliff. A cold aura swept over Uncle Wang and Wu Jin. They could not help but shiver. Although Uncle Wang and Wu Jin could not exactly gauge Lin Mo¡¯s strength, they knew that he was completely different compared to before. Uncle Wang¡¯s respect for Lin Mo grew even deeper. After all, he knew Lin Mo¡¯s background. His strength was originally far less profound than it was now. In such a short period of time, Lin Mo had advanced so much. The moment Lin Mo came out, it felt as if there was a blizzard. ¡°Congratulations, young master. Your cultivation seems to have been successful.¡± Wu Jin was following closely from behind. Lin Mo nodded indifferently. ¡°How¡¯s the situation these few days?¡± ¡°During the days you¡¯ve been cultivating, the strength of various mercenary groups in Chuxin Village has gone through a change.¡± At this point, Uncle Wang could not help but feel a little emotional. Before Lin Mo¡¯s arrival, the strength of the mercenary groups in Chuxin Village had remained unchanged. The three parties had always maintained a three-way balance and no one could do anything to the other. Although they wanted to make a name for themselves, they lacked the opportunity. Lin Mo¡¯s arrival had stirred up a storm. The situation was no longer as stable as before. ¡°In terms of individual strength, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group is on par with the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group. I wonder if the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group has devoted himself to training the ¡®Dragon Elephant Fist technique¡¯.¡± Of course, this was not the most important piece of news. Uncle Wang could not contain his joy as he said, ¡°In the past few days, many foreign powers have come to Chuxin Village. They want to participate in the next auction.¡± Uncle Wang had been extremely busy during the past few days. Although he was tired, he was happy. It had been a long time since he experienced such a lively scene. ¡°That¡¯s good, but I will be leaving Chuxin Village soon.¡± Wu Jin turned pale. ¡°What?! Young Master Lin Mo will be leaving soon?¡± Uncle Wang was not surprised. On the contrary, he had expected it. After all, Lin Mo was not an ordinary person. Clearly, Chuxin Village could not tie him down. ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, the resources in Chuxin Village are limited. They don¡¯t match up to the young master¡¯s potential. The young master should be free to venture into the skies.¡± It was already troublesome to collect a tier four item in Chuxin Village. Getting higher-tier items was essentially impossible. Moreover, the tier four items were simply inefficient for Lin Mo¡¯s current status. Staying in this village any longer would just be a waste of time and energy. Lin Mo had long-term goals. Even after hearing that Lin Mo would leave soon, Uncle Wang¡¯s enthusiasm was not dampened. He wanted to ensure the upcoming auction¡¯s success. After all, this was an opportunity to fulfill Lin Mo¡¯s wishes. ¡°As per the young master¡¯s request, I¡¯ve been collecting auction items non-stop these past few days. The locals no longer have any possessions that meet your requirements. Although there are quite a number of people here, most of them are foreigners. Hence, I¡¯ve only managed to secure three items. First, a tier 4 low-grade martial art ¡°Ring Blade technique¡±. Secondly, a tier 4 low-grade inner core of demonic beast, fierce tiger. Lastly, a tier 4 high-grade gold thread big ring blade.¡± Uncle Wang looked at Lin Mo worriedly. He had only collected a few items and was afraid that he had let his young master down. Although Lin Mo¡¯s expectations were not high, he could not help but feel a little disappointed after hearing Uncle Wang¡¯s words. As expected, he would not be able to obtain any good items from Chuxin Village. Even so, Lin Mo did not show any signs of his disappointment. Besides, these items were enough for the entire auction. So, he consoled Uncle Wang, ¡°It¡¯s alright. They¡¯re pretty good.¡± Wu Jin rubbed his palms together. He was very confident in the upcoming auction. After patting his chest, he reassured Lin Mo, ¡°Young master, don¡¯t worry. The atmosphere this time will definitely be more lively than before. I¡¯ll try my best to sell the items at a higher price..¡± Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Cloud Arrival Inn at Chuxin Village was the only inn within a radius of a hundred miles. As night fell, the small inn welcomed a group of guests. Although they wore ordinary clothes, they emitted a murderous aura. Clearly, their hands were stained with countless amounts of blood. How else would they produce such an aura? The innkeeper hid in a corner. After the waiter served the dishes, he quickly hid as well. He was afraid to catch this group of people¡¯s attention. On the other hand, the group¡¯s target was not here so they were not interested in causing trouble. They just drank large amounts of wine and ate big mouthfuls of meat. Even with such normal acts, they still gave off a murderous aura. The leader of the group had a long scar that ran through his entire face. Half of his face was curled up like a centipede. He looked absolutely ferocious and terrifying. The leader laughed coldly. His eyes were overflowing with killing intent. ¡°Ptui! That kid is really lucky. I can¡¯t believe he didn¡¯t die after that incident.¡± ¡°Perhaps they didn¡¯t know that Lin Mo had some strength, so they just robbed him. They¡¯re really stupid to the extreme!¡± These people were the group of bandits who had robbed Lin Mo previously. On the surface, they appeared to be robbing him but in reality, they were sent to assassinate Lin Mo. ¡°Boss, the leaders of those mercenary groups have auctioned off Lin Mo¡¯s items and they said they¡¯re going soft on him. When the time comes, will they stop us?¡± Scarface spat out, ¡°Ha! Even if the leader is willing to help, nobody can protect the person I want to kill!¡± The aura Scarface emitted was at least the peak of level seven. It was no surprise that he was not afraid of the mercenary groups. ¡°I might as well just rob the auction house and kill Lin Mo!¡± As he spoke, the scarred-faced man made a hand gesture of slitting someone¡¯s throat. His sinister laughter could clearly be heard, causing others to shudder in fear. At this moment, Lin Mo was still unaware of the impending crisis. The auction venue was packed with people. It was even more lively than before. Those who came late did not even have a seat. It was indeed a grand occasion. ¡°The captain of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group is here!¡± It was unknown who shouted this, but Li Yunfei walked in with large strides. His aura was steady and powerful while his eyes were like lightning, brimming with spirit. The crowd naturally made way for him. Everyone could see the changes in Li Yunfei¡¯s body. ¡°Leader Li is full of energy. He looks so extraordinary. I reckon his strength has already reached the peak of level six. He¡¯s no longer inferior to the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group.¡± The people had guessed correctly. When Li Yunfei overheard their praises, the corners of his mouth unknowingly curved upwards. Shortly after, he came across Lin Mo. As if he had just seen a relative, Li Yunfei passionately greeted him. They actually seemed like good friends who had not seen each other for many years. In reality, this was only the second time they met. ¡°Young Master Lin Mo, it¡¯s been a long time since we last met. Thanks to you, I¡¯ve managed to improve my cultivation a little. I really don¡¯t know how to express my gratitude. Anyway, if you have anything good this time, keep it for me. After all, good water does not flow to outsiders¡¯ fields (TN: It means keeping all the benefits to oneself or one¡¯s own family)!¡± Everyone was a little surprised to see Li Yunfei¡¯s excited and attentive expression. After all, he had always been arrogant. Who knew he had such a humble side. ¡°Commander Xue Fu has arrived! The lord of Qingyang City has arrived!¡± A few unfamiliar faces entered. The auction house was like a moon surrounded by stars. Those people with power and position took the seats that were reserved for them. ¡°They are all foreign experts. I¡¯ve heard of them, but I¡¯ve never seen them in person. I didn¡¯t expect to see them here. Apparently, they all have peak level six strength. Some of them even have signs of breaking through. They¡¯re not inferior to Li Yunfei in any form.¡± Everyone sighed. They did not expect so many powerful people to attend. However, the leader of the Wolf Mercenary Group was nowhere to be seen. Nonetheless, it was understandable. He must be cultivating the tier 5 top-grade cultivation technique and was unable to spare some time. Even if he did not attend this auction, he would not lose out much. As everyone took their seats, Wu Jin walked to the center of the stage. The auction had officially begun. ¡°The first item is a tier 4 low-grade inner core of demonic beast, fierce tiger. Starting price is 2,500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The inner core appeared to be milky white. It was floating in mid-air and was emitting a lustrous jade-like glow. There seemed to be starlight flickering within, nurturing the essence of the demonic beast. Previously, Li Yunfei had bid for a medicinal herb. He had yet to completely absorb the medicinal effects. So, this inner core was not of much use to him. In other words, he did not need it for the time being. After all, he could only chew on so much. It was better to save his spirit stones. Besides, the upcoming items may be more suitable for him. Not many people placed a bid. The first item was priced at two thousand and five hundred spirit stones, which many could not afford. ¡°The item is good but unfortunately, it¡¯s not something that people like us can afford.¡± ¡°5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The person who called out that price was Zhao Junyu, the leader of Blood Harvest. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 low-grade inner core of demonic beast, fierce tiger. ] [ Successful triggering of 100 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 low-grade inner core of demonic beast, Bao Hu! ] ¡°The second item is a tier 4 high-grade gold thread big ring blade.. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A golden blade appeared on the stage. The pressure emitted was enough to convince people that it was extraordinary. Li Yunfei¡¯s expression instantly changed. He looked like a wolf that had just smelled blood after a long time. A determined glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°That blade is basically tailor-made for me.¡± Li Yunfei was known for his blade techniques. Recently, he had been struggling to find a suitable weapon. It caused him a lot of distress. A fitting weapon was needed for good performance. The gold thread big ring blade was a must for Li Yunfei. ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The moment Li Yunfei opened his mouth, everyone stopped in their tracks. They knew that Li Yunfei specialized in using blades and did not want to compete with him. Besides, the price was soaring sky-high. In the end, Li Yunfei successfully bought the gold thread big ring blade. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 high-grade gold thread big ring blade. ] [ Successfully triggered 100 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 low-grade weapon, Cross Blade! ] Although only two items had been auctioned, the atmosphere was very lively. It was essentially a mini climax. After all, the auctioned items were not common. Furthermore, there were a lot of powerful people present. Those who did not manage to buy anything had their horizons broadened. This trip was not a waste. The patrons were discussing so enthusiastically with each other that no one noticed a group of uninvited guests arriving at the entrance. Only Lin Mo¡¯s sharp eyes spotted them. ¡°These people¡­¡± He furrowed his brows. There was a lingering feeling that he had seen them somewhere before. Although these people were dressed in ordinary clothes, the aura they emitted could not fool anyone. Their viciousness and malevolence indicated that they had come with ill intentions, especially the scar-faced man in the lead. ¡®It¡¯s them! ¡®Aren¡¯t they the robbers who had killed the original soul of this body? They¡¯re the reason that I¡¯ve transmigrated to this world.¡¯ Uncle Wang noticed Lin Mo¡¯s strange behavior and asked, ¡°Young master, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Those people are the crooks who had robbed me back then.¡± Upon hearing that, Uncle Wang¡¯s expression changed drastically. ¡°I¡¯m sure they did not come with good intentions. Should we¡­¡± Although the group of robbers had tried to restrain their aura, it still occasionally flowed out of their bodies. This was an indication of their strength. It was not low. Most of the people in the auction house were just ordinary folks. Even if there were quite a number of experts present, this situation had nothing to do with them. There was no need for them to get into any conflict. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, these people are nothing to be afraid of.¡± Lin Mo had an indifferent look on his face. Based on his current level, this bunch of robbers was nothing but clowns. His words calmed Uncle Wang. The old butler believed in his young master. Lin Mo gazed at the group of robbers as if it was piercing through them. It seemed like new and old grudges would be settled at the same time. The group of robbers did not expect to be recognized so quickly. They casually found a place to sit, not knowing that all their movements were being tracked. Soon, the third item for auction made its appearance. ¡°The third auction item is a tier 4 low-grade martial art, Ring Blade technique. Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Li Yunfei stood up excitedly. Since he had obtained the gold thread big ring blade earlier, this technique would certainly complement it. Without a doubt, his power would increase greatly. However, before he could speak, someone had already made the first bid. ¡°60,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Li Yunfei could not help but be taken aback. From six thousand to sixty thousand, was the bidder insane? It was not some top-grade cultivation technique, so it was clearly not worth this price. Either this person had too much money to spend or there was something wrong with his head. The crowd did not expect to hear such a price either and the entire place fell silent. Everyone turned their heads to look at the bidder. It was none other than the scar-face man. He looked back at the crowd with a proud expression. ¡°Aren¡¯t they a group of robbers? Why are they here?¡± Most people immediately recognized their identities. It filled them with fear and despair. The scar-face leader was especially memorable. Obviously, he was hard to forget with such a distinct feature. The scar-faced robber was infamous in this vicinity. He and his group had robbed plenty of houses and committed all sorts of crimes. As long as they were paid well, they would accept any mission. They had no morals at all. Furthermore, this group of robbers was not afraid of death. They would fearlessly fight against the mercenary groups. Ordinary mercenary groups had suffered a lot under their hands, so even they would try to avoid them. The auction house fell into a deathly silence. ¡°Such a high price. Does he actually have that amount of spirit stones? After all, he only knows how to rob others.¡± Someone spoke with dissatisfaction. His companion beside him was completely on edge. ¡°Shhh! Keep your voice down! Don¡¯t you want to live?¡± Just as he finished speaking, Scarface¡¯s sinister gaze landed on him. The leader of the robbers made a cutting-throat gesture. His threat was self-evident. The two people were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to make another sound. As for the rest of the crowd, they did not utter a single word either. This group of robbers was deliberately looking for trouble. They raised the price to such an extent so no one else could participate. Wu Jin also understood the situation, so he did not continue with the usual procedure. ¡°I¡¯m willing to pay the highest price. Hurry up and give me the item.¡± The scar-face man urged Wu Jin. At the same time, he deliberately provoked him, ¡°Do you even know how an auction works?¡± Although he said that, the leader of the robbers did not take out any spirit stones. Evidently, he was trying to get something for nothing. Wu Jin was caught in a dilemma and looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Give it to him..¡± Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°But¡­¡± Lin Mo gave Wu Jin a comforting look. ¡°Give it to him, but I won¡¯t let anyone leave without paying.¡± These words were very direct. However, Scarface was indifferent when he received the item. He even pretended to be dumb. This was a very awkward situation. Lin Mo calmly said, ¡°Are you trying to go back on your words?¡± The scar-face man snorted coldly and said in a confident tone, ¡°Your small auction house should feel honored for having me here. You dare to ask me for spirit stones?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s pupils were clear and bright. He was not shaken at all. In fact, Scarface felt a faint chill when their gazes met and he quickly looked away in an embarrassed manner. He said angrily, ¡°This is just a lousy auction house. Are you guys stupid? Why don¡¯t you all just directly rob it? Pay with actual spirit stones? Seriously? Lin Mo does not have any strength. He¡¯s merely fooling all of you!¡± Everyone in the crowd looked at each other. They did not know how to respond. Scarface spitted disdainfully at the side. ¡°You¡¯re all a bunch of spineless fools. None of you even dare to make a move against this piece of trash.¡± Upon hearing that, some people¡¯s expressions did change. As the scar-face man said, Lin Mo had never really shown his strength. In fact, he looked just like an ordinary person. ¡®How did an ordinary person like him manage to collect so many resources? He even got a tier 5 item.¡¯ Those thoughts filled some minds. Lin Mo had probably used some special method or magic tool to conceal his power level. At first, they thought Lin Mo was simply keeping a low profile. After hearing Scarface¡¯s words, they felt that something was a little strange. When the Blood Harvest leader, Qingyang City¡¯s lord, and other powerful patrons saw the tense atmosphere, they got a little excited. They were not local factions, so they did not mind if things fell into chaos. Moreover, they had no plans to participate in the feud between Lin Mo and the group of robbers. The more chaotic the situation became, the greater the possibility of them profiting. They might even be able to take a share of the spoils. On the other hand, Li Yunfei could not sit still. He shouted angrily, ¡°You¡¯re going too far! There¡¯s no such thing as a free meal in this world!¡± This caught Lin Mo off guard. He turned around and looked at Li Yunfei. There was a look of admiration and gratitude in the latter¡¯s eyes. ¡°Whoever dares to cause trouble here will have to face the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group!¡± Li Yunfei greatly admired Lin Mo because he stood up against the robbers all by himself. Moreover, the low-grade tier four worry-free grass that he obtained from this auction house previously had brought him a lot of benefits. It even helped him reach the peak of level six. The scar-face man had level seven strength. Although Li Yunfei knew he was no match for him, he still wanted to help Lin Mo. It was a way of paying the latter back. He was willing to fight by his side. Scarface revealed a disdainful expression. ¡°The Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group? You¡¯ve only reached the peak of level six. Yet, you dare to challenge me? You¡¯re digging your own grave.¡± He continued to say ferociously, ¡°To anyone else who isn¡¯t afraid of death, feel free to step forward.¡± The crowd subconsciously lowered their heads. They dared not meet Scarface¡¯s gaze. Other than Li Yunfei, no one else stood up for Lin Mo. This was not unexpected. After all, when it came to life and death, no one was willing to meddle in other people¡¯s business. Scarface secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was infamous. Otherwise, if this many people joined forces, he might not be able to win. Lin Mo remained calm on the surface, but he was quite moved by Li Yunfei¡¯s righteous words. At the same time, he knew that after leaving Chuxin Villager, he would face more danger as such or worse. ¡°So what if your level is higher than mine? We still don¡¯t know the outcome!¡± Li Yunfei was the leader of the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group. How could he allow others to look down on him? If word got out, not only him but even the Dragon Tiger Mercenary Group would be shamed. Just as he was about to make a move, Lin Mo stopped him. ¡°I appreciate your help, but I¡¯ll deal with him.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Li Yunfei was a little worried. However, before he could say another word, a white light appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s hand. A shadow jumped out rapidly, creating gusts of cold wind. The shadow was moving so quickly that almost no one could see it clearly. All of a sudden, they heard a scream coming from Scarface¡¯s group. ¡°Ah!¡± The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. ¡°My face! My face!¡± One of the robbers had blood dripping down his face. A large piece of flesh had been torn off, revealing his white bones. It was a terrifying sight. There was a row of sharp teeth marks. It was likely that he had been gnawed on by some kind of animal. Despite that, nobody had seen such a mark before. Everyone could not help but touch their faces. They could almost feel the pain just based on the robber¡¯s cry. They kept looking around, but all they could see was a vague shadow. Even the outline of that creature was not apparent. ¡°What creature is that? It¡¯s so powerful!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± Scarface did not even see how that thing attacked. Then, another wave of miserable cries could be heard. All his lackeys¡¯ faces had become completely unrecognizable. The scene was simply ghastly. Some of the robbers did not even have a single piece of flesh on their faces. Only teeth marks could be seen. The robbers fell to the ground after losing too much blood. ¡°Be on guard! Everyone, don¡¯t panic!¡± Scarface shouted hysterically, but it was ineffective. The robbers tried to escape. They were so desperate that they even trampled on their fallen comrades. The white creature kept following them like a ghost. Death was inevitable.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Scarface could only watch helplessly as his companions fell one by one. He gathered all of his spiritual power and attempted to grab on the creature. However, the creature was simply too fast. It slipped off his hands every single time. Sometimes, his skills would miss and land on the other robbers instead. This caused them even more agony. The robbers who were still able to fight followed suit. All kinds of martial skills and spiritual power were released. Since they could not escape the creature, they might as well fight back. However, they could not even properly see its shadow, let alone hit it. The situation became more chaotic and the number of casualties increased. This scene made Scarblade exasperated. He had no choice but to ask for help from others. ¡°Who¡¯s willing to help us?¡± However, the rest of the people avoided him like the plague. Before long, his surroundings were empty. The cries of the robbers rose and fell. Only Scarface was safe and unharmed. He was not attacked by the white shadow. This was basically mental torture for him. A quick death was nothing but his companions were dying in a tragic and painful manner. Even robbers who had been living on the edge for years were scared. Scarface had never felt so powerless. Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead. His eyes were bloodshot. He glared fiercely at Lin Mo. ¡°This is your fault!¡± Lin Mo looked completely calm. Clearly, he did not seem to care. An unprecedented chill rose in Scarface¡¯s heart. He realized that he had offended the wrong person. ¡°What can you do to me?¡± That sentence was extremely lethal. The blood color on Scarface¡¯s eyes suddenly faded and they turned pale instead. Still, he was an ambitious person. So once again, the scar-face man revealed a ferocious expression. ¡°I want your life!¡± Despite that, upon closer inspection, one could see his eyes were filled with fear. Scarface charged towards Lin Mo. Uncle Wang¡¯s heart was beating rapidly. He could not help but shout, ¡°Young master, be careful!¡± Lin Mo sneered. He could tell that Scarface was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. With a slight wave of his hand, a huge air current formed in the center. Scarface could not even get close. He instantly flew a few feet away. Everyone was dumbstruck. They thought that they were hallucinating. After all, Scarface was a level seven powerhouse. Even Li Yunfei was no match for him. Yet, Lin Mo was able to defeat him with a wave of his hand. He did not even use any martial art or cultivation techniques. If he could deal with Scarface so effortlessly, one could only imagine how powerful he was. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Everyone was in disbelief. They recalled Scarface¡¯s earlier claims. ¡°You¡¯re telling me that he¡¯s an ordinary person? Who are you trying to fool?!¡± The Blood Harvest leader, Qingyang City¡¯s lord, and the rest originally only thought of this situation as a show but now, their expressions had turned serious. Their gazes toward Lin Mo were filled with curiosity and fear. ¡°You!¡± Surprisingly, Scarface was still able to stand up. After what Lin Mo had put him through, most people thought he was dead. Supposedly, Lin Mo was only a level one trash. How did he gain so much strength in such a short period of time? With a wail, Scarface spat out a mouthful of blood. It was unknown whether he was angry or shocked. ¡°Look at those robbers!¡± Suddenly, everyone realized that they could no longer hear the screams of the robbers. Only Scarface was left standing in the middle of the venue. ¡°Creak. Crack.¡± A bone-chilling sound rang out in the air. Scarface¡¯s body stiffened. He turned his head back in disbelief. The robbers who had come with him had already been gnawed on until only their bones were left. His eyes were wide open. It was as if his eyeballs were about to pop out. Any hope of him emerging victorious had been completely crushed. He said in a crazed manner, ¡°This is impossible!¡± At the same time, the white shadow in the air finally stopped moving. Its outline began to slowly take shape. The creature turned out to be an extremely large fish! White scales covered its entire body. They were as sharp as blades. When the fish swam, it could split the air in half. Steel-like fins were stuck to both sides of its body. They looked as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings, but they were actually indestructible. The most shocking thing was the fish¡¯s teeth. Without a doubt, they could crush a person¡¯s skull with a single bite. ¡°It¡¯s actually a fish!¡± People had been trying to guess what type of creature could annihilate Scarface and his group. They never expected it to be a fish as that did not make any sense. ¡°What kind of species is it? It¡¯s not restricted by land or water and it¡¯s so ferocious.¡± Even the most ruthless blackwater fish was nothing like it. Ordinary fish could only live in water. Once they got out, their attack power would be greatly reduced. If they stayed out for too long, they might even die. Scarface¡¯s eyes were filled with fear as he shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t eat me! I¡¯ll tell you a secret!¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and walked over. ¡°What secret?¡± At this moment, Scarface was heavily injured and did not have the strength to fight back. Thus, Lin Mo was not afraid of any sneak attacks. Scarface lowered his voice so no one could hear him. After whispering something, he tried to make a run for it. Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed slightly. Scarface knew that he would not be able to escape. His heart was filled with regret. Why did he accept this mission and provoked Lin Mo? Unfortunately for him, Lin Mo had no plans of being merciful. His eyes turned cold. ¡°You want to escape? It won¡¯t be easy..¡± Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You lied to me!¡± Scarface was filled with fear. The lookout fish began moving again. A white shadow got closer and closer to him. An image of a row of sharp fangs was the last thing Scarface saw before he lost consciousness. ¡°Ding dong.¡± A crisp sound could be heard. Then, a ring fell from Scarface¡¯s body. If the owner died, their belongings that were originally bound would be forsaken. Blood flowed on the ground like a small stream. It was rapidly absorbed and automatically entered the fish¡¯s body. The fish¡¯s white scales flickered with a faint red light. With that, the scene was no longer bloody. In fact, things looked very calm. It was as if nothing had happened. However, everyone who had witnessed the incident would probably remember it for the rest of their lives. Who knew the high and mighty Scarface would end up like this. Even his bones were not left behind. Everyone let out a sigh. This was the first time they had seen such a huge disparity in strength. Scarface was level seven. Yet, he did not stand a chance against Lin Mo. It was truly shocking. Even the Blood Harvest leader and Qingyang City¡¯s lord had dispelled their previous thoughts of wanting more chaos. ¡°He¡¯s so powerful at such a young age. It makes me feel ashamed.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I believe that the auction house will continue to grow under his administration. In the future, it will dominate this area.¡± ¡°The Lin family is really different. Lin Mo, if you ever need anything, just let us know. We will definitely do whatever we can for you.¡± While everyone was praising him, Lin Mo calmly went to pick up Scarface¡¯s ring. There were also ten thousand low-grade spirit stones that he had previously robbed. In addition to his life savings, it was a total of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. Lin Mo was instantly put in a good mood. He had basically become rich. Since he no longer lacked spirit stones, there was no need for him to auction off the tier five top-grade Chaos Pill. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, everyone. Due to the unexpected incident, this auction has come to an end.¡± His announcement caused an uproar. ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Some people understood Lin Mo¡¯s decision. Although Scarface had been dealt with, the atmosphere had turned extremely awkward. [ Ding! ] [ Successfully triggered 50 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade Heaven and Earth Blade technique! ] Lin Mo was surprised to hear the system¡¯s notification in his mind. After all, he had yet to auction off the tier five top-grade Chaos Pill. According to the system¡¯s recognition, even though the auction had failed, Lin Mo did fulfill his duties as an auctioneer. Hence, he was able to trigger a return. After figuring this out, Lin Mo took out the Heaven and Earth Blade technique and said, ¡°Originally, I planned to auction this off, but I¡¯ve changed my mind.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the Ring Blade technique that Scarface had basically mugged earlier. After that, he handed them both to Li Yunfei. ¡°Here, these are for you.¡± Li Yunfei was completely caught off-guard. For a moment, he was unable to return to his senses. ¡°Lin Mo, what are you doing? These are too valuable. I can¡¯t¡­¡± Lin Mo reaffirmed, ¡°Li Yunfei, you had just bought the gold thread big ring blade, so you¡¯ll need some blade techniques. As I cultivate sword techniques, these two items are of no use to me. Please do not decline. Take them as my thank you gift.¡± Li Yunfei¡¯s lips trembled. He was speechless for a long time. After all, he could not stand the injustice and merely said a few words. Lin Mo dealt with Scarface and the other robbers all by himself. Yet, he was the one receiving such valuable gifts. ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to accept them¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± The others were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Seeing that Li Yunfei was still declining, they wished that they could accept them on his behalf. At the same time, they felt extremely regretful. If they had stood on Lin Mo¡¯s side and spoke up for him, perhaps he would have given them a tier-five cultivation technique as well. A fate-changing opportunity was right in front of their eyes, but they did not seize it. A tier five cultivation technique was definitely not common. Furthermore, it would cost a lot to get one. Quite a number of people in the auction house began hitting their chests and stomping their feet. They sighed and felt extremely regretful. In the end, since there was no way to decline, Li Yunfei finally accepted the gifts. Obviously, he was excited. He knew the value of these techniques in his hands and was extremely grateful towards Lin Mo. ¡°Lin Mo, if you ever need any help, just let me know. Don¡¯t treat me as an outsider.¡± Li Yunfei¡¯s trip this time was not a waste at all. In fact, he had made a huge profit. He could not even close his mouth due to the happiness. Before everyone could compose themselves, Lin Mo¡¯s dropped another bomb. ¡°There is no such thing as an endless feast. Thank you all for your support. I will be leaving Chuxin Village soon. Although I have not been in the village for long, I won¡¯t forget the times I¡¯ve had here.¡± After all, Lin Mo had grown up a lot in this place. He could not help but feel emotional. Unfortunately, the resources from this place could no longer increase his strength. If he stayed here, it would be a waste of time. Moreover, he had just found out that Scarface and his group were actually sent by the clan to kill him. His existence was a stain of shame to the clan. Hence, there were some people who wished to get rid of him as soon as possible. However, there was nothing he could do with this piece of information. Lin Mo did not have any evidence. Even if he did, it was useless. They definitely had a high status in the clan if they dared to hire assassins to kill him.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The family had already given up on Lin Mo and they would not punish those with high positions for him. In this world, strength was the most important. The weak were destined to be bullied. A sense of danger rose in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. The person behind the scenes had failed this time, but they definitely would not give up easily. He had to increase his strength as soon as possible and prepare for the family competition in three months¡¯ time. At the same time, he had to avoid his pursuers. After all, their levels were unknown. Meanwhile, at the Lin family household, a number of respected elders had gathered together. Their gazes landed on the leader¡¯s seat. The second elder sat upright with an imposing manner. ¡°What are you people doing? I heard that Lin Mo is still alive!¡± The other elders looked at each other. They had no idea what was going on either. ¡°Those robbers that were sent to kill Lin Mo are at the peak of level seven. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem to deal with trash like him.¡± To ensure a favorable outcome, they had dispatched experts to deal with Lin Mo. Things should have gone smoothly. Nobody expected it to turn out this way. ¡°Could it be that Lin Mo had already recovered?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Even if he recovered, he shouldn¡¯t be a match for the robbers. Trash will always be trash.¡± Everyone knew that there was a huge gap between levels six and seven. It was obvious who would emerge the victor. Nobody expected Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation to grow at such a terrifying speed. It was a pity that Scarface and his group were completely annihilated. They did not know what exactly happened. ¡°I heard that he got lucky and obtained a demonic beast. That must be it.¡± Indeed, some people with low strength could subdue powerful demonic beasts through fortuitous encounters. This explanation was much more believable. ¡°This kid¡¯s luck isn¡¯t bad.¡± The second elder had a dark and unfathomable expression on his face. His eyes were cold and cruel. ¡°He won¡¯t be so lucky next time. I have to get rid of him as soon as possible without anyone¡¯s knowledge.¡± ¡°In that case, dispatch a level nine expert. Once we find Lin Mo¡¯s location, we can instantly deal with him.¡± ¡­ Lin Mo had no idea that he was going to face another crisis. He was in a secret room behind the auction house, cultivating the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡±. It was a continuation. The resources obtained from the second auction were no use to him. Instead of wasting, he saved them for the tier five low-grade inner core of a demonic beast, Bao Hu. They could be used for refinement. To an ordinary person, it was much more difficult to absorb the inner core of a demonic beast than medicinal herbs and pills. The latter two were more gentle in nature. On the other hand, demonic beasts tend to have violent temperaments. Their inner cores were contaminated with destructive qi. As a result, it was extremely difficult to absorb. Furthermore, if a person was not careful, their bloodline would expand. Then, it would explode, bringing death to the individual. However, this was not a problem for Lin Mo. After all, he possessed the god-slaying body. Everything could be swallowed and suppressed. Once he cultivated to the perfection stage, he could kill any god, even Buddha. The inner core of a small demonic beast was not difficult to absorb. Furthermore, it was only a low-grade tier five demonic beast¡¯s inner core. Once again, the golden inner core became incomparably dazzling. Countless specks of light surged into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Shortly after, they gradually dissipated. The inner core became dull. Its originally golden exterior slowly turned gray. The spiritual energy within was swept away and the essence was completely absorbed by Lin Mo. A layer of gas surged and it rapidly rotated around him. Lin Mo¡¯s entire body was covered. Again, from a distance, he looked like an enormous white cocoon. The spiritual energy within his body was rapidly growing. He had reached level seven in one go! ¡°Bang!¡± An invisible substance poured out from within his body. At the same time, the Frost Sword cultivation technique was also circulating through his meridians and various major acupoints. Lin Mo breathed in and out. There was some sort of rhythm to it. A frosty aura spread out, causing the ground and walls to be covered in a thick layer of ice. The surrounding temperature was extremely cold. If an ordinary person were to step in without any protection, they would be severely injured. Worst case scenario, their internal organs would be frozen, causing instant death. The frosty qi continued to assault Lin Mo. At this moment, he had achieved perfection and finished cultivating the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡±. Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. It was as if a violent snowstorm had swept over the world. However, in a blink of an eye, the ice and snow disappeared. Even the temperature returned to normal. Everything that had happened earlier almost felt like an illusion. Lin Mo did not refine the remaining resources. He only tidied up his things in preparation for the upcoming auction. After all, what he would encounter after leaving Chuxin Village was unknown. ¡°If I encounter a level eight or nine powerhouse, I should be able to fight them.¡± Lin Mo was not trying to brag. It was just facts. After mastering the Frost Sword technique and Frost Sword Manual, his combat strength had increased exponentially. Furthermore, he still had quite a number of resources in his hands such as the tier five top-grade Chao Pill, a tier five low-grade Cross Blade, and more. In the future, he would be able to get even better items from the system. Additionally, Lin Mo had one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. He was very wealthy. This gave him the confidence to venture further and beyond.. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Uncle Wang and Wu Jin had been waiting outside for a long time. When Lin Mo appeared, the two of them said in unison, ¡°Congratulations, young master. Your cultivation has improved once again.¡± Lin Mo had been cultivating for a few days. During this period, many people came to visit or inquire about him. However, they were all rejected by Uncle Wang. Once again, Lin Mo was much stronger. This meant the time of separation was coming. As expected, he said, ¡°Prepare to set off tomorrow.¡± Uncle Wang did not utter a single word, but Wu Jin looked surprised. ¡°So soon?¡± He wanted to say something else but hesitated. Lin Mo added, ¡°Think about it carefully. Are you willing to come with me?¡± The two of them were about the same age. Uncle Wang came across Wu Jin by chance in Chuxin Village. He was average in terms of strength and had no interest in cultivation. Wu Jin was tactful and had a good sense of humor. Thus, Uncle Wang thought he was suitable for the auctioneer position. Even though they had only spent a short time together, Lin Mo admired this young man very much. He reminded him of his past self. If he did not cultivate, being an ordinary person like Wu Jin was a good option. As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Wu Jin replied without hesitation, ¡°I¡¯m willing!¡± He was afraid that Lin Mo would go back on his words. Although Wu Jin was not powerful, he had a good sense when it came to judging people. Lin Mo was definitely not an ordinary person. He had already seen his potential. Sooner or later, the young master would be on top of the world. Wu Jin wanted to be by his side before it happened. After all, it was a good opportunity. Naturally, he had to seize it. ¡­ Before long, most of the people had heard about Lin Mo¡¯s departure. The village chief, Li Yunfei, Huang Kegan, and many others waited for him at the village entrance. ¡°Lin Mo, please stop. I didn¡¯t expect you to leave so soon. Aren¡¯t you going to stay for a while longer?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, but I¡¯ve made up my mind.¡± The village chief was a little disappointed, but he also understood where Lin Mo was coming from. Chuxin Village was too small and had limited resources. With the latter¡¯s current strength, he definitely would not stay for long. So, he put a warm smile on his face and took out something. ¡°This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you¡¯ll accept it.¡± The village chief was confident that Lin Mo¡¯s future would definitely be bright. Ideally, he wanted to keep a good relationship with him as there would be many benefits. After all, Li Yunfei gained two top-grade articles by just defending the young man. Obviously, Lin Mo could not refuse. Li Yunfei gave Lin Mo a big hug. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t forget about me. If you need my help, I will instantly rush over. It doesn¡¯t matter even if I have to travel thousands of miles.¡± If Lin Mo could auction off his items in a large town, he would surely make a big profit. This was an opportunity the people in Chuxin Village did not have due to their limited assets. They could not compete with bigger factions. Anyway, be it Li Yunfei, Huang Kegan, or the others, they had all received Lin Mo¡¯s favor. Huang Kegan sighed. ¡°Originally, I wanted to have a good chat with you over some wine. Unfortunately, it doesn¡¯t seem like I have the chance this time. I hope that we can meet again in the future. We will definitely get drunk together!¡± He felt some regret in his heart and wished that he had attended the previous auction. If he had also stood up against Scarface, he could have received glorious rewards like Li Yunfei. In short, it was too late. Everyone had a regretful expression on their faces as they bid Lin Mo farewell. Uncle Wang¡¯s eyes were red. He wanted to follow Lin Mo, but he was already old and frail. Moreover, he was not suited for long journeys. There was no way Lin Mo could bring him along. Although he was sad about the separation, he was happy for Lin Mo. In a tearful voice, he said, ¡°Young Master, you must take good care of yourself.¡± This old butler had given all his warmth and love to the young man. They were basically family. Without a doubt, he was a very important person in Lin Mo¡¯s life. Lin Mo even made up his mind to find medical pills for Uncle Wang to extend his life. Since Uncle Wang did not have a high cultivation level, he would only be able to live for another ten years at most. ¡°Oh right, what are your plans?¡± asked the village chief. Lin Mo had nothing to hide. He answered, ¡°I¡¯m heading to Qingyang City.¡± Qingyang City was about the same size as Lin City. However, it was not like Lin City where the Lin family was dominant. Instead, there were four great families that kept each other in check. Additionally, it was a place where merchants would gather. This was thanks to its geographical location. Thus, the city was rich in resources. There were many experts there as well. Most of them were crouching tigers or hidden dragons (TN: People with special hidden talents). The village chief nodded. ¡°It¡¯s a good place.¡± Actually, there was another reason why Lin Mo picked Qingyang City. He wanted to increase his strength as soon as possible and avoid his family¡¯s assault. Hence, he planned to bypass Lin City and go straight to Qingyang City. Everyone was reluctant to part with Lin Mo, but they could only wish him well. Some day, their paths would cross again. Lin Mo and Wu Jin¡¯s figures gradually disappeared into the distance and from everyone¡¯s sight.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The green city gate was somewhat discernible. It was like a towering mountain range. The grayish-white walls looked worn out. Some parts had even fallen off and become mottled. These were all traces of time. Even so, it was difficult to conceal its former grandeur. There was a stone tablet covered in moss not too far away. The word ¡°Qingyang¡± was written on it. Since the word was written with dragon and snake-like strokes, it exuded an ancient charm with indescribable pressure. Apparently, it was personally written by the first Qingyang City lord and had a hundred years of history behind it. ¡°Qingyang City is just in front of us.¡± Lin Mo and Wu Jin could not help but quicken their steps. They arrived at the city gate and after paying a certain amount of spirit stones, both of them successfully entered the city. ¡°Come and take a look! This fur belonged to a tier 3 demonic beast. It¡¯s impervious to weapons, water, and fire. It¡¯s most suitable to be made into a defensive robe!¡± ¡°Recovery pills are essential when traveling. Try one and you¡¯ll definitely want another!¡± ¡°Sky splitter, star shattering hammer, and top-grade weapons are on sale! Don¡¯t miss this opportunity!¡± There were hawkers everywhere. They filled up both sides of the street and were lined up in a row. It was a lively sight with people coming and going. Wu Jin rarely went on long journeys. His eyes could barely keep up with everything. He looked around and said excitedly, ¡°There are so many things here.¡± On the other hand, Lin Mo was much calmer. It was a little strenuous to collect tier three items in Chuxin Village. However, they were not particularly precious here. This was enough to show that the city had an abundance of resources. ¡®My decision to come to Qingyang City wasn¡¯t wrong.¡¯ Perhaps it was because of the unfamiliar environment but after his excitement died down a little, Wu Jin became cautious. ¡°Young master, what should we do next?¡± Lin Mo already had plans. Since they were new to the city, they did not know the prices of things. ¡°Go and get more information about Qingyang City and its clans.¡± Wu Jin was a little worried. With his level of strength, anyone could easily kill him. Finding more information and returning safely would be an issue. Lin Mo noticed he was anxious, so he added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get the lookout fish to protect you.¡± Even if the lookout fish could not beat Wu Jin¡¯s opponent, they could still escape because of the fish¡¯s speed. Lin Mo¡¯s words reassured Wu Jin. Anyway, Lin Mo walked towards the center of Qingyang City. He wanted to see if there were any good shops. The center was the most bustling area. However, there were fewer pedestrians. It was not as lively as earlier. The people walking around this place were all well-dressed. With just a glance, one could tell that they were wealthy. Lin Mo¡¯s clothes were ordinary, making him seem a little out of place. His luck was pretty good and he found a medium-sized auction house that was not doing well. The owner wanted to sell it off. After explaining his purpose, the staff hesitated for a moment before letting Lin Mo in. It was probably because his clothes were ordinary and his body did not emit a strong aura. When the owner looked at Lin Mo, he had a disdainful expression on his face. ¡°What brings you here? Do you want to just look around? This is not a refugee camp.¡± The staff who had let Lin Mo in felt awkward. ¡°He said that he wanted to buy the auction house.¡± The owner glanced at Lin Mo and continued to look down on him. ¡°Him? He could go bankrupt by just buying the bricks in that corner.¡± Although he was ridiculed, Lin Mo stayed calm. He was used to people looking down on him. ¡°How many spirit stones?¡± ¡°100,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The owner casually announced the price, thinking that it would scare Lin Mo away. He patiently waited for Lin Mo to reveal an embarrassing expression but when that did not happen, he said in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Is this a wet market to you? The price is not as cheap as cabbages. Why didn¡¯t you ask around¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Mo interrupted him. ¡°Count and see if there¡¯s enough.¡± He handed the owner his interspatial ring. The owner immediately recognized the item to be at least tier seven. His expression quickly changed. After all, no ordinary person could afford such a ring. ¡°You¡­¡± Lin Mo took out one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones without even batting an eye. The owner did not expect something like this to happen at all. In any case, the location of this auction house was not bad. There were already a few people who had inquired about the price, but they felt that it was too expensive. Thus, nobody bought it. Who knew that Lin Mo would agree to this price. ¡°You really want to buy it?¡± Lin Mo did not want to further waste his breath. So, he directly asked, ¡°Is it enough?¡± The owner stammered. ¡°It¡¯s enough.¡± Now, he felt embarrassed for mocking Lin Mo. This young man in front of him had just transformed into his biggest customer. He tried to say something to remedy the situation. ¡°Previously, I didn¡¯t know¡­¡± Before he could even finish his words, Lin Mo interrupted indifferently, ¡°Alright then. This is my territory now. You can scram.¡± His words were not polite at all. However, it was the owner¡¯s own fault for looking down at him earlier. His face turned red. Lin Mo was probably a rich and powerful person with an impressive background. Offending him would be a bad idea. Hence, the owner could only swallow his anger and walk out of the auction house. The commotion earlier had attracted a crowd. People began to wonder about Lin Mo¡¯s identity.. Chapter 20 - Selling the Auction House for 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°No wonder the owner had to sell the auction house. He was so tactless and mean. I bet he offended many people. It would be strange if he still had business.¡± ¡°I wonder if the new owner can bring this auction house back to life.¡± The people surrounding the auction house were discussing among themselves. They had a rough understanding of the original owner¡¯s temper. Based on what they said, it seemed that the auction house declined because of his horrid personality. Besides, the auction house was situated in a good location. There was no way it struggled for no reason. Anyway, after hearing the auction house was under new management, people came to check it out. Lin Mo took this opportunity to build up momentum for his first auction in Qingyang city. ¡°Our auction house will have tier five top-grade resources. We await your patronage.¡± This announcement caused quite a stir. Even in Qingyang City, there were not many resources at this grade. ¡°Really? Tier five top-grade resources? Is he just bragging?¡± ¡°This person took out 100,000 low-grade spirit stones without batting an eye. It should be true. He wouldn¡¯t lie unless he had no plans of continuing his business.¡± ¡°Exactly! No one would do something so foolish to ruin their reputation, right?¡± ¡°There are two large-scale auction houses in this city and they form a barrier between each other. One of them belongs to the royal family while the other belongs to the Miao family. Is he actually from one of them?¡± Everyone was speculating about Lin Mo¡¯s background. He was basically shrouded in a layer of mystery. They were excited for this auction house to be reopened. Just as Lin Mo was reorganizing the auction house, Wu Jin and the lookout fish returned. At first, Wu Jin thought the lookout fish had brought him to the wrong place. When he saw Lin Mo, he was quite taken aback. Wu Jin could not help but ask, ¡°What is this place?¡± ¡°The auction house that I just bought.¡± Upon hearing that, Wu Jin¡¯s expression turned dreamy. ¡°I think I haven¡¯t woken up yet¡­¡± ¡°Pa!¡± A crisp sound could be heard. The lookout fish swung its tail mischievously and hit Wu Jin on his face. A wave of coldness swept over him, waking the wistful man up. Who knew that Lin Mo would take over such a large auction house in such a short period of time. In comparison, the auction house in Chuxin Village seemed insignificant. It was like heaven and earth. There was no competition. Wu Jin got extremely excited. He looked around the place like a child in a candy store. When he thought about how he could auction items in such a large venue, he became a little eager. ¡°How¡¯s the situation on your side?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice pulled him back to reality. Wu Jin rubbed his head embarrassedly. He almost forgot about official business. ¡°There are a total of four great families in Qingyang City. They are the Wang family, the Du family, the Huang family, and the Miao family. The strength of each family¡¯s head is peak level nine. There¡¯s also the possibility of elders in the family who have already broken through.¡± Most of these elders cultivated behind closed doors and had not made a move for decades. Other than the core members of the family, ordinary people would not be able to get more detailed information about them. Wu Jin¡¯s expression became a little mysterious. ¡°Additionally, I¡¯ve heard that these four big families are all related to the royal family in the Imperial City. They keep sending top-quality resources to them. All the outstanding disciples of the family will also be recommended to the royal family. Among them, the Miao family is the most high-profile and powerful. Apparently, the Miao family has a unique secret manual that allows them to complete the refinement of medicinal pills, herbs, and inner cores of demonic beasts. Even the resources that many of the younger generations of the royal family used for cultivation were provided by the Miao family. Therefore, the resources that the Miao family provide to the auction house does not lose out to those the royal family used.¡± Wu Jin was overwhelmed with emotions. He did not expect Qingyang city to have so many hidden talents. ¡°The other three families kept a low profile. It¡¯s difficult to obtain more detailed information. However, they have connections with the royal family. This means they have their own strengths. Perhaps they could breed demonic beasts or own exclusive martial arts manuals. Maybe they can even tamper with weapons.¡± After listening to Wu Jin¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo had a rough understanding of Qingyang City¡¯s circumstances. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right!¡± Wu Jin seemed to have remembered something. ¡°The lookout fish can completely turn invisible in the air but when I was out and about, it appeared to have been seen by someone.¡± These words immediately piqued Lin Mo¡¯s interest. ¡°Oh? There¡¯s actually someone with such abilities?¡± Even though they had only brushed past each other, Wu Jin could still clearly remember that person¡¯s gaze. It was filled with pressure, so he left a particularly deep impression. Wu Jin nodded and said, ¡°Although I don¡¯t know that person¡¯s identity, I did memorize his appearance.¡± Lin Mo did not take it to heart. There were countless powerful people in Qingyang City. It was not strange that a few of them were able to discover the lookout fish. ¡°Oh right. The previous owner¡¯s staff are still working in this auction house. Take good care of them and avoid unnecessary trouble. Also, see if they can carry out their tasks properly. They must pass based on your standards.¡± Wu Jin was Lin Mo¡¯s only attendant. He did not have enough manpower. So, for the time being, he decided to keep the previous staff. After all, the next auction was imminent. He might as well make do with them for now and slowly work his way up. These people had worked in the auction house for a long time, so they should be familiar with the process. They probably did not need further training and could immediately resume their posts. This would save Lin Mo quite a bit of time. Despite the heavy responsibility, Wu Jin was clearly thrilled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, young master. Leave it to me..¡± Chapter 21 - The First Auction in Qingyang City Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The news about the tier five resources in Lin Mo¡¯s auction spread quickly. A few days later, the auction was officially held. Many young disciples from the four great clans came to participate. The venue was extremely lively. People were exchanging greetings and boisterous voices could be heard at all times. Although this popularity could not be compared to large-scale auctions, it was not bad. Besides, it was the first time Lin Mo was holding an auction in Qingyang city. ¡°Looks like there are quite a number of people here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Apparently, there are tier five resources. So, I came to join in the fun.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true, but this auction is being held by a new owner. His background is quite mysterious. What connection does he have with the royal family? He might really have some good stuff.¡± ¡°Connection with the royal family? I¡¯ve not heard of such news. It¡¯s not a lie, right?¡± Regardless of the rumors were true or not, everyone was looking forward to the auction. There were already several people sitting in the first few rows. ¡°Look!¡± Someone with sharp eyes noticed that an old man was sitting in the front row. His aura was stable and did not have any fluctuations. He seemed to be an ordinary person. However, no ordinary person would be sitting in the first row. Most auction houses were very particular about their seatings. Those who were able to sit in the first row were either powerful people or those with high status and background. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Butler Zhang from the royal auction house? Why is he here? Does this auction house really belong to the royal family?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Perhaps Butler Zhang is only here to take a look.¡± While everyone was discussing, the old man remained calm and composed. There were also two pretty women who stood out. They were wearing dresses with yellow and golden butterfly patterns. Both of them looked lively and cute. Not only were they wearing the same clothes, but they looked identical as well. It was like looking at a mirror reflection. Many people were attracted to their appearances. They kept staring at the two women. The twins were the daughters of the Huang family. Their names were Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou. Most people could not tell them apart if just based on their looks. In reality, they had very different personalities. The lively and charming younger sister was Huang Zhiyun while the mature older sister was Huang Zhirou. Huang Zhiyun looked around with her dark eyes. ¡°Elder sister, why did we come to this place? Is the royal family¡¯s auction house not good enough?¡± ¡°I came to take a look because I heard there are tier five resources here.¡± Sitting not too far away from them was the eldest and only son of the Miao family, Miao Yan. When people saw him, a disdainful expression would appear on their faces. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that he would come as well. Doesn¡¯t their family have an auction house? Why is he here?¡± It turned out that Miao Yan had an arrogant personality. He was the strongest among the younger generation. In addition to his extraordinary background, he could basically do whatever he wanted. One person could not help but ridicule him. ¡°Of course he¡¯s strong. Other families had multiple children. He¡¯s the Miao family¡¯s only child and is favored by the royal family. Naturally, they are going to spend everything to nurture him.¡± The person¡¯s companion tugged at his sleeve, hinting for the latter to speak less. Miao Yan was a picky person. Obviously, he did not think much of the auction house. ¡°This place is small and shabby. It¡¯s not even half as good as my family¡¯s auction house.¡± Those who wanted to suck up to him immediately complimented, ¡°That¡¯s only natural. How can such a place satisfy Young Master Miao? Just treat it as a show.¡± Miao Yan then turned his gaze to the Huang sisters. He said eagerly, ¡°What a coincidence. The two sisters are here too.¡± Huang Zhiyun secretly rolled her eyes. She did not say anything. Huang Zhirou nodded at Miao Yan and said, ¡°Young Master Miao is here too.¡± Miao Yan was overjoyed that Huang Zhirou spoke to him. ¡°There¡¯s probably nothing good here. Instead, you should come to our clan¡¯s auction house. It¡¯s much better.¡± Clearly, the two sisters did not like Miao Yan either. However, due to the Miao family¡¯s reputation and the delicate relationship between the four great clans, they had no choice but to tolerate him. Huang Zhiyun said abruptly, ¡°The auction is about to begin. Young Master Miao, you should return to your seat.¡± Miao Yan looked embarrassed and returned to his seat awkwardly. Of course, no one dared to laugh at him. After he left, Huang Zhirou looked at Huang Zhiyun with a disapproving expression. ¡°How can you talk to him like that? Miao Yan is very powerful. It¡¯s very easy to offend him.¡± Huang Zhiyun snorted coldly. ¡°I can¡¯t stand him. In fact, I hate him to death. He looks like a starving dog whenever he speaks to us.¡± ¡°Pfft¡­¡± The person sitting behind them saw the commotion. He could not help but let out a low laugh. That person was none other than Du Wan, the illegitimate son of the Du family. ¡°He¡¯s not favored by his family and is also the weakest among the younger generation. Du Wan is probably only at the peak of level 6. However, I heard that he controls a very powerful demonic beast.¡± Sitting beside Du Wan was the illegitimate son of the Wang family, Wang Qing. He was in a much better position than Du Wan because the Wang family only had him and his brother. The Wang family treated the two of them equally and did not show any favoritism. Thus, he turned out to be rather honest and loyal. He even made quite a few friends. Du Wan and Wang Qing¡¯s gazes met. They both nodded and smiled at each other. The auction had yet to begin, but Lin Mo had already gathered some useful information. The corners of his mouth curled up into a playful smile. ¡°Looks like this auction will be interesting..¡± Chapter 22 - Miao Yan’s Provocation Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Most people that attended from the four great clans were the younger generation. The only older person was probably Butler Zhang from the royal family. They could not help but be intrigued by this auction. After all, not just anyone could promise tier five resources. Lin Mo¡¯s sudden appearance also attracted a portion of people. After discovering that it was only his first day in the city, they became even more curious. It was the main reason why the members of the four great clans sent their juniors to check on the situation. The number of people who attended was not small. Even the crowd back in Chxin Village was no competition. It was also the first time Wu Jin had seen such a huge crowd. This made him a little nervous. On the other hand, Lin Mo was completely composed. After looking at him, Wu Jin managed to calm down. Wu Jin looked around and saw Du Wan. He immediately revealed a surprised expression. ¡°He was the one who saw the lookout fish on the street.¡± Lin Mo also turned his attention to Du Wan. The latter looked rather ordinary. ¡®The Du Family should be the ones who were good at raising demonic beasts. Otherwise, only strong people or those with special abilities could spot the lookout fish.¡¯ Du Wan definitely belonged to either category. Upon seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Lin Mo signaled for the door to be closed. As Wu Jin went up on stage, the crowd settled down. ¡°Thank you all for coming. There are a total of two items up for auction this time.¡± When they heard Wu Jin¡¯s words, the crowd burst into an uproar. ¡°What?! Only two items? That¡¯s too little, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°How shabby. The royal auction house would have at least 5 items that are tier 4 and above.¡± Many people looked disappointed. They lost their confidence in Lin Mo and did not want to waste their time any further. ¡°This was a wasted trip. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to other auction houses. The owner claims to have tier 5 resources, but even that might be a lie.¡± ¡°Yea, I even heard that he had a connection with the royal auction house. If that¡¯s true, why would things turn out to be so disappointing? We¡¯ve been fooled.¡± Many people were angry. They turned around and took off. In a blink of an eye, at least half of the seats in the auction house became empty. Those who stayed were in the mood to watch the show. ¡°Well, I have nothing to do anyway. I¡¯ll see if there are any actual tier 5 resources. If not, I can just leave later.¡± Wu Jin was anxious, but his expression did not change. This was something that he had learned from Lin Mo. In fact, Lin Mo had already predicted such an occurrence. So, he had warned Wu Jin beforehand. ¡°The first item up for auction is a tier 5 low-grade Cross Blade. Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± After Wu Jin announced that, an attendant walked out with a tray and lifted the velvet cloth on it. There was a cold glint as though a crescent moon had appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. One could even see their own reflection on the blade. Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That¡¯s a good blade!¡± The aura emitted by the Cross Blade confirmed that it was a genuine tier five weapon. There was no way it could be fake. Originally, Miao Yan had an indifferent expression on his face. Once he saw the blade, that completely changed. An undetectable dark light flashed across his eyes. Most items that were auctioned in other auction houses were more or less the same. However, Lin Mo appeared out of thin air and presented something different. Naturally, it attracted a lot of people¡¯s attention. ¡°I never expected there to be an actual tier 5 weapon in this auction. If it was sold at the royal family¡¯s auction house, the starting price would be at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± The remaining audience was ecstatic. Since the price was not too high and there were not as many people as before, they might actually have a chance to compete. ¡°7,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°7,500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡­ People began bidding. Wang Qing could not help but sigh. ¡°That blade is made from the best black iron and it¡¯s extremely sharp. It¡¯s also indestructible. Unfortunately, the craftsmanship is a little lacking.¡± However, that did not affect the power of the Cross Blade and Wang Qing was determined to obtain it. ¡°11,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Following his bid, the entire venue fell silent. After all, he was from the Wang family and they had a lot of assets. There was no way an ordinary person could compete. On the other hand, the members from other families were not as keen on the Cross Blade. After all, their own equipment was on par if not better. As for the Huang sisters, they did not use such weapons. Wang Qing¡¯s bid was the highest. The blade was sold to him for eleven thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°The second item up for auction is a tier 5 top-grade Chaos Pill. Starting bid¡­¡± Before Wu Jin could finish his words, Miao Yan stood up from his seat. He said mockingly, ¡°I thought it was something worthwhile, but it¡¯s just a Chaos Pill. Such an item is so common and ordinary.¡± Due to his words, the previously lively atmosphere turned cold. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. ¡°Although what he said was a little exaggerated, it¡¯s more or less the truth. In the Miao family¡¯s auction house, you can see a tier 5 top-grade medicinal herb or pill every couple of months.¡± Miao Yan¡¯s provocation made Wu Jin angry. He clenched his teeth. Even if he knew that Miao Yan was here to cause trouble, there was nothing he could do. Helpless, he could only say, ¡°Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones..¡± Chapter 23 - Level 6 Cultivation Technique, Publicly Smacked in the Face! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Originally, Lin Mo wanted to use the Cross Blade to excite the crowd. That way, the price of the Chaos Pill would rise. However, with Miao Yan¡¯s interference, the opposite happened. Worst still, no one even placed a bid. Everyone looked hesitant at the Chaos Pill and Miao Yan. They did not want to offend either party. Nonetheless, it was only a top-grade tier five pill. Although it was rare, it was not something the audience did not possess. Offending the Miao family because of this would not be worth it. Wu Jin was a little anxious. After all, there were only two items to be auctioned. If one of the items was not sold, it would obviously be a loss for the auction house. Suddenly, someone called out, ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± It was Du Wan. This was completely unexpected. Miao Yan¡¯s expression instantly darkened as he fiercely glared at Du Wan. However, Du Wan was not afraid at all. He looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°I hope that we can become friends. In the future, we could exchange breeding experience.¡± It turned out that he was very interested in Lin Mo¡¯s lookout fish, which explained his action. Miao Yan smiled coldly and said, ¡°As expected of an illegitimate son who is not even worthy of being mentioned in public. All you do is bootlick others.¡± His words were directed to both Lin Mo and Du Wan. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned deep and dark like a ball of burning flame, but his expression was calm. ¡°In order to thank everyone¡¯s support, I have decided to auction something from my personal stash. Tier 6 top-grade martial art, Frost Sword Manual. Starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± Those words dropped like a heavy bomb. Miao Yan¡¯s expression rapidly turned ugly while the others were in utter shock. ¡°What? A tier 6 top-grade martial art?! I didn¡¯t expect this. It¡¯s an extremely rare existence even in the royal family¡¯s auction house.¡± As Lin Mo took out the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡±, his fingertip released a spiritual force that landed on the light blue cover. Promptly, an invisible icy current spread out from the center of the stage. Everyone could clearly feel the temperature around them dropping. The light blue crystals covered the entire stage, making the scene look very dreamy and surreal. It was as if they were in a world of ice and snow. When the cold wind blew past, it jolted everyone back to reality. ¡°Such a powerful aura. It¡¯s definitely a tier 6 top-grade martial art!¡± Everyone was thrilled. They were like wolves who had seen meat after a very long time. Their gazes were fixated on the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡±. A tier six top-grade martial art was something that could only be found by chance. Even the Huang sisters could not sit still. This sword manual would be of great use to them. They had to bid for it. ¡°15,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°20,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°25,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± As expected, everyone began bidding hysterically. In just a few seconds, the price had already soared to over thirty thousand. Other than Miao Yan, everyone else who had some assets participated in the bidding. Du Wan and Wang Qing also wanted to obtain this cultivation technique but in the end, the twin sisters won at the price of forty-one thousand low-grade spirit stones. Wu Jin announced, ¡°The tier 6 top-grade martial art, Frost Sword Manual, has been bought by Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou.¡± The crowd could not calm down for a long time. They did not expect such a turn of events. Lin Mo struck the iron while it was hot. ¡°The next auction will be in a week.¡± Thanks to the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡±, Lin Mo became famous in Qingyang city. After the auction ended, everyone started asking about his identity. ¡°His auction house actually has a tier 6 resource. To boot, it¡¯s a top-grade martial art with potent lethality.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of him before. He just suddenly appeared out of nowhere.¡± ¡°Apparently, on his first day in the city, he took over the poorly operated auction house. He didn¡¯t even bat an eye and took out 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°Could he be a descendant of some reclusive family? Who knows, he might have something to do with the royal family.¡± Those who left the auction early immediately felt regret. If they had been a little more patient, the outcome might have been different. Meanwhile, Lin Mo was completely unaware of these discussions. He was happily chatting with Du Wan. The latter was a straightforward person. After the auction ended, he found Lin Mo and the both of them instantly got along. They had already become friends. ¡°I was trying to find the owner of the lookout fish, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Du Wan was extremely familiar with demonic beasts. With a glance, he could tell that Wu Jin was not the actual owner and the lookout fish was only protecting him. After seeing Lin Mo, he felt a similar aura coming from his body. So, he guessed Lin Mo was the actual owner. On the other hand, Wu Jin was a little curious. He could not help but ask, ¡°How did you know that I¡¯m not the real owner of the lookout fish?¡± Du Wan revealed a mocking expression and teased, ¡°When you sat on the fish, you looked like you were about to vomit. The lookout fish clearly despised you. Moreover, your cultivation level is not high.¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud. ¡°Looks like you have to cultivate properly. If not, even the fish will loathe you.¡± Wu Jin widened his eyes. ¡°It wouldn¡¯t dare! Otherwise, I¡¯ll make braised fish tonight.¡± An afterimage flashed through the air. Wu Jin felt a cool sensation on his face. It was a little painful as if he had been slapped by something. There were clearly fin marks on his face. Obviously, it was the lookout fish¡¯s masterpiece.. Chapter 24 - Counter Soldiers With Weapons, Water With Earth Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°When was the lookout fish released?!¡± Wu Jin cried out and fled in a sorry state, avoiding the lookout fish. Lin Mo and Du Wan could not help but laugh out loud. Of course, the lookout fish was only fooling around with Wu Jin. If it actually wanted to harm him, it would have done so long ago. The lookout fish¡¯s speed left Du Wan in awe. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a fish that can move so fast. It can even survive in the air.¡± The atmosphere was filled with joy. However, Lin Mo did not know that he had attracted the attention of several major factions. Once Butler Zhang returned, he immediately sent a message to the royal family. At the same time, the Miao family members were gathered in the meeting hall. Other than Miao Yan, there was also his father, Miao Jian. A few important elders of the family were there as well. ¡°Yan ¡®er, didn¡¯t you just return from that auction house? Why do you have such a hurried expression on your face? You even said that you had something important to report. What is it?¡± Miao Jian was puzzled. He did not know why Miao Yan had requested for so many people to gather. ¡°Father, didn¡¯t you ask me to check out the situation at the auction house? Not only was there a Chaos Pill that would affect our auction house¡¯s business, but there was also a tier 6 top-grade martial art.¡± This was the reason Miao Yan reacted so strongly when the Chaos Pill was brought out. Not only did he provoke Lin Mo, but he even mocked him. It turned out that the Chaos Pill was almost an exclusive resource for the Miao family¡¯s auction house. It was very rare for other auction houses to obtain such a thing. The Miao family was tyrannical. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble with them. If someone managed to obtain a Chaos Pill, they would choose to auction it at the Miao family¡¯s auction house over any other. Lin Mo¡¯s action was equivalent to slapping the Miao family¡¯s face. ¡°What? He actually brought out a tier 6 resource?! Won¡¯t this affect the business of our Miao family¡¯s auction house?¡± The chaos pill was still considered a small matter. After all, the Miao family did not only rely on that sole item to earn money. Instead, the more important thing was the latter. Even their auction house had limited tier six resources. Lin Mo auctioning the ¡°Frost Sword Manual¡± attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Furthermore, it laid a solid foundation for his popularity. Basically, he had killed two birds with one stone. Regardless of whether he would have such good resources in the future, his reputation had already been established. ¡°What should we do?¡± The Miao family had extremely overbearing traits. They would not let others overshadow them. Although they could not directly stop the other smaller auction houses, they would use every method at their disposal to suppress them. Lin Mo¡¯s appearance undoubtedly displeased them. The first elder looked at some information that he had just gathered. ¡°So, Lin Mo comes from the Lin family.¡± Miao Yan had obviously heard of the Lin family¡¯s name. ¡°The Lin family from Lin City? If that¡¯s the case, then we won¡¯t be able to do anything to him.¡± The first elder laughed coldly. ¡°Lin Mo isn¡¯t favored by the Lin family. He¡¯s just trash that¡¯s been abandoned. In fact, if we get rid of him, the Lin family might even thank us.¡± The second elder was puzzled. ¡°Then how did he obtain the tier 6 top-grade martial art? The Lin family members aren¡¯t fools. Why would they give it to him?¡± The first elder was evidently displeased at the second elder¡¯s doubts. ¡°This news came directly from the Lin family. If you don¡¯t believe me, send someone to investigate.¡± ¡°Maybe he had a fortuitous encounter on the way.¡± The Miao family was clearly not fond of Lin Mo. A ruthless look flashed across the first elder¡¯s eyes. ¡°Lin Mo can only blame himself. Qingyang City is our turf!¡± In the next few days, Lin Mo¡¯s auction house was visited by an abundance of people. Most of them wanted to auction off their items. Wu Jin said excitedly, ¡°Since our first auction was a huge success, many people are already aware of our existence.¡± Furthermore, Lin Mo¡¯s commission fee was much lower compared to other auction houses. A person would be able to earn more profit. It was not that complicated. However, Lin Mo¡¯s actions had broken some unspoken rules. In this city, the auction houses¡¯ power and position had long been fixed. Since he was a new member, he did not belong to any major power and was supposed to remain at the lower end. Although the major families did not make any movements yet, Lin Mo believed that they would not sit idly. ¡°There might be conflicts in Chuxin Village, but it¡¯s still relatively harmonious. However, things are different in Qingtang City. It¡¯s easier to cause trouble.¡± Wu Jin understood the meaning behind his words. ¡°Young master, are you worried that someone will come and cause trouble for us?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes had a hint of solemnity in them. ¡°Try to recall Miao Yan¡¯s actions. He definitely won¡¯t let things go so easily.¡± Upon thinking that, the joy on Wu Jin¡¯s face gradually faded away and was replaced by concern. ¡°Then what should we do next?¡± Lin Mo was extremely optimistic. ¡°We¡¯ll deal with it as it comes. If anyone wants to pick a fight, just bring it on. I am not afraid.¡± Lin Mo had never been a timid person. Moreover, he had the system on his side. He could easily adapt to any situation. Additionally, they were not in a lawless city. Those people would not dare to go too far. Unfortunately, Lin Mo had underestimated the sinister nature of the human heart.. Chapter 25 - Fight! A Peak Level 9 Bandit Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo had been constantly receiving auction items. At the same time, he was also getting along well with other auctioneers. On the other hand, the four great clans stayed quiet. Wu Jin tried to get some information but failed. This made Lin Mo feel very uneasy. ¡®Am I overthinking? ¡®No.¡¯ Lin Mo shook his head. Based on Miao Yan¡¯s actions, he had a rough idea about his personality. Moreover, the Miao family valued their pride the most. There was no way they would stay indifferent. ¡®This was basically a calm period of time before the storm.¡¯ Lin Mo did not take any action either. All he did was spend his free time cultivating. It was nighttime. The moon could barely be seen and the stars were sparse. As for the skies, they seemed to be covered by a black curtain. There was hardly any light. Most people had already slept. Meanwhile, a black shadow sneaked into the auction house. He was like a ghost traveling in the dark. It was difficult to spot him. This man was actually a bandit from the level nine foundation establishment faction. The bandit snuck into the auction house¡¯s warehouse. There was a dazzling array of items on the shelves. He could not help but click his tongue. ¡°He had already collected so many auction items in such a short time.¡± The bandit¡¯s hands did not stop moving. In just a short time, all the auction items were transferred into his bag. While he was busy working, the bandit did not notice a layer of faint frost forming on the ground. It was probably because the light was too dim. ¡°Huh? Why did it get chilly all of a sudden?¡± The thief almost sneezed. He sensed an impending danger and rolled to the side. Even so, a sharp sword aura had cut through his clothes and the faint smell of blood was in the air. It was as if the air had been sliced into half by a sharp blade. The bandit turned his head around with lingering fear. There was a black shadow standing behind him. If he reacted any slower, his injury would have definitely been worse. ¡°Who is it?!¡± Lin Mo held the Frost Sword in his hand. A small drop of blood slid down the blade. In a blink of an eye, it was frozen into a blood-colored ice crystal. ¡°Haha, I thought it was something serious. It turns out to be just a little mouse.¡± Hearing this calm tone, the bandit could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Then, he got a little angry. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Since the bandit was exposed, it was unlikely that he would be able to escape unscathed. He might as well kill this person. Perhaps he would even get more rewards. Without wasting any time, the bandit launched an attack. However, the light blue crystals around him spread rapidly. In an instant, the temperature became extremely low. It was as if he was at the north pole. This affected the bandit¡¯s speed. The blue crystals got ahold of the bandit¡¯s leg and made their way up, causing him to cry out in alarm. ¡°My leg!¡± White spiritual energy emerged from his body. He shook violently and struggled to break free, but failed. The Frost Sword was right in front of the bandit. Somehow, he narrowly dodged it. Lin Mo looked at him coldly. His attacks became increasingly fierce. From time to time, ice shards would fall, obstructing the bandit¡¯s movements even further. The power of the Frost Sword coupled with the Frost Sword Manual could change the surrounding environment. It did not matter even if the bandit was very agile. If this continued, the bandit would probably die from exhaustion. He decided to retreat and began to think of ways to flee. However, Lin Mo saw through his thoughts. ¡°Ice crash!¡± He shouted loudly and the Frost Sword swept up the surrounding air currents. As it spun rapidly, countless icicles appeared in the air. They flashed with sharp cold lights and charged toward the bandit. There was simply no way for the bandit to escape. As he was about to be pierced by the icicles, the bandit¡¯s body suddenly split into many copies. Several shadows appeared and they all ran in different directions. Despite that, his actual body had suffered quite a bit of damage. Lin Mo was distracted by the clones and lost the real body. Upon seeing that the exit was just a short distance away, the bandit leaped up. He felt as if he had just escaped a calamity. Followed by that, he heard a cold voice. ¡°Did I give you permission to leave?¡± The bandit¡¯s body stiffened. A chill rushed towards him from behind. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. Lin Mo brandished his Frost Sword and a huge icicle fell from the sky, piercing the bandit¡¯s body. He was pinned to the ground. Lin Mo had deliberately held back and did not aim for the bandit¡¯s heart. The bandit spat out blood, but he was still breathing. ¡°Spare me¡­¡± Lin Mo looked down at him. ¡°Who sent you here?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Miao family¡­¡± The Miao family had sent someone to steal the auction items in hopes of telling everyone that Lin Mo had failed to protect them. This way, Lin Mo would lose his source of goods. Furthermore, the compensation alone would be enough to bankrupt him. ¡°What an excellent plan.¡± The Miao family was indeed vicious. Lin Mo did not take the bandit¡¯s life, but the icy cold air had already circulated through his meridians. After a short while, the bandit could no longer breathe and his face was covered in a thick layer of frost. At this moment, if someone were to look at his body, they would definitely be severely shocked because the bandit¡¯s internal organs were all covered with frostbite.. Chapter 26 - Royal Auction House Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What happened?!¡± Wu Jin ran out in a hurry. He was panicking so much that he did not even notice his shoes were put on backward. When he saw the bandit¡¯s corpse on the ground, he immediately understood the situation. He quickly asked, ¡°Who sent him?¡± ¡°The Miao family.¡± ¡°They¡¯re really horrible!¡± Wu Jin was filled with rage. He wished that he could kill the bandit again. Lin Mo was not surprised that the Miao family would make the first move. Knowing that they had ill intentions, he became even more vigilant. ¡°Anyway, we just need to be careful from now on. Adapt and overcome whatever that is thrown at us.¡± ¡°Why do we have to endure this?¡± Since the bandit was dead, Lin Mo did not have any evidence against the Miao family. Even if he did, the Miao family would not admit to anything. Moreover, they were a huge force and Lin Mo was just a newcomer. He could not deal with them yet. Lin Mo patted Wu Jin on the shoulder and comforted him. ¡°You have to bear it or the big plan will be messed up. We have plenty of opportunities to get back at them in the future.¡± After such an incident, Lin Mo and Wu Jin were no longer sleepy. Wu Jin got dressed up and went out for a stroll. He wanted to investigate the Miao family again. However, he gained a different intel instead. ¡°Apparently, the royal family¡¯s auction house will be holding an auction tonight.¡± The time for the royal family¡¯s auction was usually fixed. There were supposed to be a few more days before the next auction. Obviously, this was done so they would not lose out to Lin Mo. Hence, the auction was held at an earlier time. Lin Mo had held several auctions, but he had never seen what other auctions looked like. It was a great opportunity for him. ¡°Let¡¯s go and join in the fun.¡± This was the first time Lin Mo would be participating in an auction. He was curious if he could get his hands on any good items. Wu Jin suggested, ¡°We could send some people over. Why would you bother to attend personally?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°We have already offended the Miao family. If we offend the royal family, we will be attacked from both sides. It will be immensely disadvantageous for us.¡± He did not want to start a feud. Moreover, Lin Mo did not feel reassured if he were to send someone else over. After all, if the person ran away with the money, he would not be able to do anything but cry. There was also the option to send Wu Jin over, but his strength was not enough. He would easily be targeted by others. For various reasons, Lin Mo decided to make a personal trip. After deducting the cost, he still had a huge surplus of spirit stones. Even if they were not enough, he could use one or two items of his possession and regard them as collateral. The royal family¡¯s auction house was extremely resplendent and luxurious. Lin Mo¡¯s auction house could not be compared to it. Of course, this was not surprising at all. A few floors had private rooms. Naturally, only those with high statuses or those who came from powerful factions were able to enter. The stage was located at the very center. It was meticulously designed. No matter which position an individual sat in, they could clearly see everything that was happening on the stage. Wu Jin¡¯s face was filled with admiration. He whispered to Lin Mo, ¡°Eventually, our auction house will be like this, or even better!¡± Lin Mo was indifferent. With the system, he would achieve all of his goals. So, he was not particularly envious of the royal family¡¯s auction house. Wu Jin looked around and said in a puzzled expression, ¡°Strange, I feel like there are not many people here. Even our previous auction had more people.¡± When the people around him heard his words, they kindly explained, ¡°That¡¯s because everyone in this city is already used to the usual auctions. After all, the royal family and the Miao family¡¯s auctions are the same things over and over again.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s previous auction had a lot of visitors because it was taken over by a new owner. Thus, everyone was curious and attracted to it. A forty-year-old man walked up to the stage. From his attire, one could tell that he was the auctioneer. ¡°Everyone, welcome to the royal family¡¯s auction house. This time, we have a total of 5 items to be auctioned. All of them are at least tier 4.¡± As expected, the royal family was very formidable. They could easily obtain tier four items. ¡°The first item up for auction is a tier 4 top-grade medicinal pill, Profound Origin Pill. Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± Once he heard the price, Wu Jin could not help but click his tongue. ¡°The starting price is so high.¡± When Wu Jin auctioned off the tier five low-grade Cross Blade, the starting price was six thousand low-grade spirit stones. In comparison to the royal family¡¯s auction house, they had the same starting price but for a tier four top-grade medicinal pill. Lin Mo was already mentally prepared. ¡°This is a large-scale auction house. Naturally, the prices will be higher.¡± It was clear that the audience did not have any objections to their pricing either. They all scrambled to place their bids. ¡°7,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°10,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡­ Upon hearing the bids, Wu Jin revealed an envious expression. ¡°When will our auction house be able to do the same?¡± ¡°The day will arrive sooner or later.¡± Lin Mo only cared about the system¡¯s return function. Spirit stones were secondary. Once his auction house¡¯s popularity rose, the prices would also rise accordingly. In the end, the medicinal pill was bought by someone for fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°The second item is a tier 4 top-grade defensive spiritual jade pendant. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± The demand for defensive spiritual artifacts was not high. If one was powerful, they would not need these external items. Thus, the price was lower in comparison to other items. Even so, the final price was still a little over ten thousand. Wu Jin could not help but exclaim, ¡°There sure are crouching tigers and hidden dragons (TN: People with special hidden talents) in Qingyang City.¡± There were a number of people who were quite wealthy. Otherwise, such an item would not be selling for over ten thousand spirit stones.. Chapter 27 - The Auctioneer Is Indeed Not Short of Money Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Jin wanted to join in after seeing the people around him bid so fervently. However, Lin Mo looked disinterested. ¡°Young master, isn¡¯t there anything to your liking?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t need any of these things. It¡¯s better not to waste my spirit stones.¡± ¡°The next item up for auction is a tier 4 top-grade movement technique, Dust Rising Steps. Starting price is 8,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°This tier 4 top-grade technique is extremely special. In the right hands, it has the potential to reach tier 5. If one is able to master this technique to perfection, they can appear and disappear without a trace. No one can catch up to them unless it¡¯s someone from the spirit gathering realm.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. After all, he did not have a cultivation technique like this. It would be of great use to escape or chase after enemies. ¡°9,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Clearly, there were quite a number of people who were interested in this cultivation technique. They quickly placed their bids. Lin Mo shouted, ¡°15,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The entire venue fell silent. Nobody expected Lin Mo to shout out such a high price. Some even recognized him because they were his previous patrons. ¡°Isn¡¯t he the new owner of that medium-sized auction hall? I didn¡¯t expect him to be here as well.¡± ¡°Apparently, he auctioned off a tier 6 cultivation technique. It¡¯s a pity that I wasn¡¯t there. I really wanted to see the item.¡± The crowd discussed fervently. Lin Mo was extremely wealthy and he was determined to obtain the cultivation technique. Since the technique had the potential to reach tier five, the others did not want to give up either. Very quickly, another person placed a bid. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as he said, ¡°23,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± The moment this price was placed, the entire auction hall burst into an uproar. Even the auctioneer on the stage gave Lin Mo a sidelong glance. ¡°The auctioneer is indeed not lacking in money. Although this cultivation technique has the potential to reach tier 5, it¡¯s still not there yet. Who knew it would fetch such a high price.¡± ¡°To me, it¡¯s not worth it. However, it¡¯s a different story for the wealthy.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression remained calm. It was as if he had only bid a few hundred spirit stones. In the end, the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡± movement technique was sold to Lin Mo. He planned to use it before reselling it at his own auction house. Spirit stones were secondary. As long as he had the system, he would never lose profit. The auction gradually came to an end. Lin Mo was not interested in the remaining items. Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by someone. ¡°Owner Lin, please wait a moment.¡± Lin Mo and Wu Jin turned their heads around. It was Du Wan. There was a middle-aged man standing beside him. Their facial features looked somewhat similar. They probably used some method to conceal their cultivation. However, the aura that they emitted had a little bit of pressure. ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect you to come. When I heard your bidding price earlier, I could not believe my ears. By the way, this is my father.¡± No wonder the two of them looked somewhat similar. The middle-aged man was Du Wan¡¯s father, Du Nanfeng. ¡°This is Lin Mo, the owner of the middle-sized auction house. I¡¯ve mentioned him to you before.¡± Du Wan introduced the two of them. Du Nanfeng nodded at Lin Mo. ¡°What a capable young man. He¡¯s definitely not to be underestimated.¡± Lin Mo did not expect Du Nanfeng to be so approachable. After all, he was the patriarch of the Du family. So, he was a little surprised. ¡°Originally, I wanted to visit Brother Lin again because I have a request.¡± Lin Mo did not mind hearing him out. He had a good impression of Du Wan. Moreover, having more friends meant more opportunities. Since he had already offended the Miao family, it would be great to be on good terms with the Du family. This way, it would also be easier for him to establish a foothold in Qingyang City. ¡°What is it? If I can help, I definitely will.¡± Those words made Du Wan very happy. ¡°Brother Lin, my father has been looking for more demonic beasts. They¡¯re important for our family¡¯s black-blood tiger as food.¡± Lin Mo was a bit puzzled. ¡°For your family, ordinary demonic beasts should be very easy to find.¡± ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ll be honest with you. Ordinary low-level demonic beasts are simply not enough.¡± It turned out that the black-blood tiger had already reached the peak of level nine a few years ago. Recently, it appeared to be breaking through. Its appetite was huge and it needed to consume more high-level demonic beasts. However, high-level demonic beasts were not easy to find. Everyone in the Du family who knew about this was worried. Naturally, it would affect the Du family¡¯s future. Thus, they could not afford to make any mistakes. The black-blood tiger was Du Nanfeng¡¯s natal beast pet. If it could advance successfully, Du Nanfeng would make a lot of profits and other benefits. In fact, the Du family would become the most powerful force in Qingyang City. The other three families could no longer be compared. The structure of the city would change because of this. ¡°My father and I came here today because we wanted to see if there were any high-level demonic beasts. Unfortunately, there was none.¡± Du Wan shook his head. ¡°So, how can I be of help?¡± ¡°Since Brother Lin was able to take out a rare tier 6 resource, I guessed that you must have some connections. Maybe you can get high-level demonic beasts as well. Furthermore, you own a very powerful demonic beast.¡± After hearing this, Du Nanfeng became a little curious. The Du family had always focused on raising demonic beasts. Du Wan had seen many of them, but he had never praised someone else¡¯s demonic beast so highly. ¡°Are you free to visit the Du family¡¯s estate for a short chat? There are too many people here. It¡¯ll be easier to talk in private.¡± ¡°How could I refuse Master Du¡¯s great hospitality?¡± Chapter 28 - A Trip to the Du Family’s Estate Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo was not worried that the Du family would kill him or steal his treasures. They would not be able to do such a thing in broad daylight. So many pairs of eyes were watching them. Besides, Du Wan did not seem to be that type of person. At the same time, Lin Mo was also very curious about the lookout fish. The system gave too little information, Lin Mo was very straightforward. Du Nanfeng could not help but laugh out loud. Then, he made a hand gesture. ¡°Please!¡± The group walked out of the royal auction house and soon, they arrived at the Du residence¡¯s main entrance. There were two stone lions at the entrance that seemed to be guarding this place. Their bodies were glowing with life-like light. It was as if they would come to life at any moment. Those stone lions were actually made from hundred-year-old spirit marrow jades. Lin Mo entered and took a look. Apparently, there was another world inside. Ancient buildings stood on both sides. In the middle, there were mountains and rivers. The mountains and rivers were full of spirit energy. White fog filled the air. When Lin Mo got closer, he realized that it was a spirit gathering array. The array created the fake appearance of the mountains and rivers. It was both artistic and ingenious. Whoever saw it would definitely be filled with admiration. Wu Jin¡¯s eyes were wide open. This place was filled with an ancient charm. It was like Fairyland on Earth. There was no way a small place like Chuxin Village could compete. In fact, it made him feel like he had been staying in a pig¡¯s nest. As expected of a large aristocratic family. Even Lin Mo looked amazed. ¡°Please take a seat.¡± After Wu Jin and Lin Mo took their seats, a servant brought over some tea. Lin Mo lifted the lid and tea¡¯s fragrance burst out. Upon smelling it, their spirits were roused. The pale green tea leaves faded away. Their spiritual energy immediately welled up. ¡°Can I see the black-blood tiger?¡± Lin Mo was a little curious. Other than his own lookout fish, he had not seen any other demonic beasts. After all, not everyone could form a contract with them. ¡°Alright.¡± Du Nanfeng readily agreed. A black magic formation appeared in the air along with a tiger¡¯s roar. ¡°Roar!¡± The light from the magic formation dissipated and a tiger appeared in front of Lin Mo. Its body was covered with black patterns and it looked extremely orderly. The fangs in its mouth flickered a sharp, cold light. An oppressive aura assaulted Lin Mo¡¯s face and he felt like it could bite his throat at any moment. It made Lin Mo and Wu Jin feel threatened. Their faces turned pale and were covered in sweat. The black-blood tiger¡¯s eyes had a bloodthirsty and cold look in them. It only became slightly gentler after looking at Du Nanfeng. Then, Du Nanfeng recalled the black-blood tiger back to its pet beast space. Even so, the pressure was still present. ¡°Its indeed a peak level nine demonic beast.¡± After hearing Lin Mo¡¯s praise, Du Nanfeng smiled modestly and said, ¡°Owner Lin, summon your demonic beast and let me take a look.¡± Lin Mo agreed. There was a flicker of white light and an afterimage flashed through the air. Normal people would have a hard time seeing what it was, but not for Du Wan and Du Nanfeng. It was thanks to their special cultivation technique. Du Nanfeng revealed a surprised expression. ¡°Is it really a fish?¡± If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it. A strange fish that could survive in the air and move so quickly. It was certainly bizarre. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anything like it. I¡¯m sure the lookout fish is not an ordinary demonic beast. If you refine its bloodline in the Xuanming Cauldron to be purer, you will surely develop more of its abilities. Simultaneously, your strength will also increase.¡± Lin Mo asked in a puzzled tone, ¡°Xuanming Cauldron?¡± Du Wan explained, ¡°Brother Lin, you have no idea because you¡¯re not a beast tamer. Xuanming Cauldron is a method that can help demonic beasts refine or evolve their bloodline. It¡¯s the reason why the black-blood tiger can level up so fast. However, it requires a lot of materials. Ordinary people can¡¯t afford it. At the same time, a high-level beast tamer is needed to control the Xuanming Cauldron.¡± This piqued Lin Mo¡¯s interest. Obviously, Du Nanfeng was a high-level beast tamer. With the system in his hands, he did not lack materials either. As long as Du Nanfeng was willing, he could give the Xuanming Cauldron a try. Du Nanfeng could see through Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. He was also very interested in the lookout fish. Furthermore, Lin Mo had extraordinary strength. It would be a good idea to befriend him. ¡°If Owner Lin can provide the materials, I¡¯m willing to help you raise the strength of the lookout fish.¡± Du Nanfeng had good intentions and Lin Mo was not a stingy person. So. he immediately returned the favor. ¡°You¡¯re so straightforward. We¡¯ll definitely get along. Within a month, I¡¯ll get a level 5 demonic beast for you. It should be enough to keep the black-blood tiger filled for 3 months. I think there¡¯s a high chance that it¡¯ll have a breakthrough as well.¡± Du Nanfeng was overjoyed. ¡°This is great. I don¡¯t know what method you¡¯ll use, but isn¡¯t a month too short?¡± Du Nanfeng did not think that Lin Mo was lying. Since the words came out from his mouth, he must have a certain degree of confidence. So, he did not mind waiting a little longer. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Upon hearing that, Du Nanfeng did not probe further. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Nonetheless, he was a little curious about Lin Mo. Lin Mo had a very simple plan. He would just auction off low-level demonic beasts in the auction house and the system would reward him with high-level demonic beasts. The entire process would not cost him much. Not only would he be able to earn spirit stones, but he would also do Du Nanfeng a favor.. Chapter 29 - Encountering Assassins Again Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After returning from the Du family¡¯s estate, Lin Mo felt like he had gained some valuable information. He immediately entered a secret room within the auction house. Originally, it was used to store items that were to be auctioned off. However, it was transformed into a place for cultivation. ¡°Unless it¡¯s an important matter, don¡¯t disturb me. The auction house will be under your care.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo went into seclusion to cultivate the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡±. It was just the right time to test its power. A misty scene appeared before his eyes after he flipped open the light blue cover. There was a lithe figure shuttling between heaven and earth, chasing the wind and the moon. It was difficult to see her face clearly. Lin Mo could only see numerous afterimages circling the place. This truly was a cultivation technique that had the potential to become tier five. Lin Mo had entered a profound realm. The figure had used countless moves. Each move was extremely light. It moved in all directions, making it difficult to be caught. Additionally, it seemed to be able to transform into all living things, become some form of water, wind, electricity, and much more. It combined everything together to form the fastest movement technique. Lin Mo felt that his body had become much lighter. His eyes were slightly closed and he took long breaths. It felt like his entire body had soared into the air, chasing after the lithe figure. At first, the lithe figure was moving extremely quickly, leaving Lin Mo far behind. He could only vaguely see a small black dot. However, as time passed, he slowly caught up. Anyone else would be taken aback by the lithe figure¡¯s speed. Yet, Lin Mo somehow managed to be on par with it after a short time. The lithe figure sped up even more. Even thunder and lightning could not catch up with it. Fortunately, Lin Mo had the god-slaying body. Once he broke through a critical point, no matter what cultivation technique he was cultivating, it would be twice the result with half the effort. With Lin Mo¡¯s current talent and ability, it was not difficult for him to grasp the movement technique. It was just a matter of time. This was enough for Lin Mo to become one of the youngest prodigies in Qingyang City! Half a month ago, he was treated as a trash level one. However, in a short period of time, he had become so much stronger. In the entire continent, no one could catch up with him. Even geniuses would admire him. Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation had stabilized. Suddenly, Wu Jin¡¯s shout could be heard coming from the communication talisman. ¡°Young master, there¡¯s an enemy attack!¡± The communication talisman was given to Wu Jin by Lin Mo before he went into seclusion. If there was something urgent that he could not handle, he could contact the latter. An afterimage floated through the air. In a blink of an eye, Lin Mo appeared in front of Wu Jin. At that moment, Wu Jin was still holding the communication talisman in his hand. Seeing Lin Mo shocked him. He could not help but rub his eyes. Was he hallucinating? ¡°What happened?¡± Wu Jin¡¯s face was extremely pale. He said with lingering fear, ¡°I was just about to check the inventory when I realized that something was wrong. It was as if someone had broken in. Before I could investigate any further, a palm wind attacked and almost killed me.¡± Fortunately, Lin Mo was prepared. He had a hunch that his aggressors would not give up so easily. Wu Jin¡¯s cultivation level was low, so he did not have the ability to protect himself. Since Lin Mo did not want Wu Jin to get caught in the crossfire, the former gave him a few defensive magic items. Thus, the worst-case scenario was successfully avoided. ¡°Just in time.¡± Lin Mo smiled coldly. He wanted to try the combination of the Rising Dust Step and the Frost Sword technique. Perhaps it could unleash an unexpected power. Before that, Lin Mo summoned the lookout fish and gestured for it to protect Wu Jie. ¡°Go back to your room and recuperate. Leave it to me.¡± Wu Jin believed in Lin Mo¡¯s ability. He knew that it would only hinder the latter if he stayed. Before Wu Jin could return to his room, Lin Mo had already disappeared like a gust of wind. Wu Jin could not help but sigh. ¡°Looks like your cultivation has gone up another level.¡± Lin Mo arrived at the auction hall. The lights were not turned on, so the place was extremely dim. In the northeast corner, there was a pair of black eyes that were filled with a bloodthirsty glow. There did not seem to be anyone here, so Lin Mo was about to leave. The instant he turned around, the corners of the assassin¡¯s lips curled into a strange arc. A sharp palm wind was suddenly launched. It was so strong that even the air became distorted. Anyone that was hit by this attack would definitely be crippled or worse, die. The assassin then instantly disappeared from his original spot and reappeared at the stone door. He struck the heavy door with his palm and it turned into dust. Obviously, his palm carried immense power. ¡°Strange, where could he have gone?¡± Just as the assassin was looking around, a ghostly voice sounded from behind. ¡°Are you looking for me?¡± The assassin was surprised. There was someone or something dangerous behind him. He could tell by his instincts. Subconsciously, he tilted his body slightly and narrowly avoided the Frost Sword that was trusting in his direction. If his reaction had been slower by half a beat, the sword would have already pierced through his heart! ¡°Oh, you actually managed to dodge it. You¡¯re more powerful than the previous guy.¡± The assassin felt like he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. It was as though their roles had completely switched. Lin Mo was the hunter and he was the hunted.. Chapter 30 - Killing on the Streets Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The intruder was a well-trained assassin. He was not frightened by Lin Mo and quickly regained his composure. ¡°Don¡¯t act mysterious!¡± Based on the information he had received, Lin Mo was supposedly good-for-nothing. He only had some lucky encounters. An assassin like him should be more than enough to deal with such a loser. He gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and pounced fiercely in Lin Mo¡¯s direction. However, the latter disappeared in a blink of an eye. His attack missed again. Lin Mo¡¯s movement technique was truly a rare sight. Even as an assassin, he was quite shocked. ¡°What kind of movement technique is this?¡± The assassin stopped his aggression. A strange feeling surfaced in his heart. Even if Lin Mo could defeat him, he would not be able to prevent his escape. There was no reason to engage in further battle. Afterimages streaked across the surroundings. At the same time, Lin Mo let out a low laugh. The assassin looked around vigilantly, but he could not find Lin Mo at all. In an angry tone, he said, ¡°So, you only know how to hide?¡± As if his provocation had worked, the assassin caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of his eyes. The assassin converted his spiritual power into a punch. Like a ferocious tiger, he roared as he charged forward. ¡°Boom!¡± There was a huge hole in the wall. Still, Lin Mo was nowhere to be seen. The assassin continued to throw out punches. Unfortunately, he could not even touch Lin Mo¡¯s shadow. Eventually, he was exhausted. The¡±Dust Rising Steps¡± was indeed a powerful technique. Even Lin Mo was amazed. Clearly, the assassin was not weak. Yet, he could play him like a fiddle. Another one of the assassin¡¯s punches missed. Then, a mocking voice could be heard coming from behind. ¡°This game is over.¡± It was like the whispers of a grim reaper. The assassin immediately understood the situation. Lin Mo was simply toying with him. It was like a cat chasing a mouse. He knew he was in danger. A cold, winter-like wind assaulted his back. There was no way he could put up any resistance. All he could do was surrender. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to run! The assassin dared not turn his head around. He just ran forward. Despite that, he was no match for Lin Mo¡¯s speed. In just a few seconds, Lin Mo had caught up to the assassin. A chill ran down the latter¡¯s spine. The assassin regretted taking this mission, but it was too late. He circulated all the spiritual power in his body and dashed to the door. At the same time, the ice and snow followed him closely from behind. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake them off. ¡°Ah!¡± There was a burst of scream. The commotion attracted many people¡¯s attention. A huge frozen sword appeared from the void and it pierced through the assassin¡¯s chest at lightning speed. The assassin did not even have time to react. His hopes of escaping had shattered. He was filled with doubt and disbelief. Then, he closed his eyes forever. The icy qi spread rapidly in all directions. Even the floor was covered in a layer of thin ice. This scene shocked the crowd. By the time they had regained their senses, the cold air had dispersed. If it was not for the puddle of water and the assassin¡¯s corpse, one would not even believe what had happened earlier was real. ¡°He killed someone!¡± No one knew who shouted, but the crowd was finally able to speak. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen him make a move.¡± ¡°He has a few tricks up his sleeves.¡± ¡°I knew he was not an ordinary person.¡± ¡°Yea, this was enough to show his power.¡± ¡°Another expert has appeared in Qingyang City. Looks like the factions are about to undergo change again.¡± Just as everyone was busy discussing, Lin Mo made another important announcement. ¡°In a few days, this auction house will hold another auction. There will be tier 5 resources. Everyone is welcome.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo turned around and left. He did not really care about the crowd¡¯s reaction. Another auction! Everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Mo had only held an auction a few days ago. Not only were there tier five resources, but there was also a tier six cultivation technique. Where did he get so many resources? It was too soon for the next auction. After all, resources were hard to come by and high-level items were even rarer. Even in large auction houses, there was quite a bit of time between auctions. Moreover, a lot of preparation time was needed. Only those auction houses in the capital would be able to hold an auction so frequently. Additionally, Lin Mo was only a newcomer. A man rubbed his hands together. ¡°I wonder what treasures will appear in this auction. I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Another person said disdainfully, ¡°Is he just afraid of being irrelevant? That¡¯s probably why he¡¯s holding another auction so quickly.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think he even has many good resources left.¡± Everyone had different views on this matter, but most of them were still looking forward to the auction. After all, a tier six resource had appeared last time. Those who had missed it were determined to not make the same mistake. Lin Mo¡¯s announcement had stirred up quite a storm. A few people turned their heads and left. They were spies from other factions that had been keeping an eye on Lin Mo. In Qingyang City, there was more than one family who was in a hurry to deal with Lin Mo. No one knew what to expect from the second auction.. Chapter 31 - The Next Auction Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There were not as many patrons as before in the auction house. Lin Mo had spread the news. Logically speaking, there should not be so few people. ¡°I thought that it would be more lively this time, but why is it the opposite?¡± The person¡¯s companion made a silent gesture and looked around. Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°Isn¡¯t the atmosphere a little strange?¡± Although there were fewer people, the most important folks still came, such as Du Nanfeng. ¡°I¡¯ve gotten some insider information. Apparently, there¡¯s bad blood between the Miao family and Lin Mo.¡± ¡°Huh? Lin Mo just arrived at Qingyang City. How did he offend them already?¡± ¡°You¡¯re out of the loop because you didn¡¯t attend the first auction. The clash started back then. See for yourself. Miao Yan definitely came with ill intentions.¡± Quite a few people had witnessed Miao Yan and Lin Mo¡¯s conflict. Miao Yan had already provoked Lin Mo before. Nobody knew what he would do this time. However, judging by his expression, one could easily tell he was not here to make friends. At this moment, Miao Yan had a dark expression on his face. He did not utter a single word and just sat on his seat. Everyone around him behaved very carefully. They were afraid to offend him. Naturally, it was unwise to antagonize the Miao family. Their family had monopolized all of the medicinal pills in Qingyang City. These pills were important for one¡¯s cultivation and it was difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on them. So, even though they were tempted, most people dared not participate in Lin Mo¡¯s auction this time around. Of course, there were others who were not afraid such as the Huang family¡¯s twin sisters, Wang Qing, and more. ¡°Why is the Du family¡¯s patriarch here though?¡± Upon seeing Du Nanfeng, many people revealed an astonished expression. Based on his status, there was no reason for him to be here. ¡°I heard that his demonic beast is about to have a breakthrough, so he¡¯s here to look for high-level demonic beasts as fodder. The Du family had been searching everywhere. They won¡¯t miss any opportunity. It¡¯s probably why he¡¯s here.¡± ¡°I see.¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible that Miao Yan wants to kill Lin Mo. Moreover, Lin Mo has no support from his family. Miao Yan is definitely going to make a move.¡± ¡°The Miao family is so overbearing. Does Lin Mo know about this?¡± ¡°They had always been like this. The Chaos Pill that Lin Mo auctioned off earlier was already a slap to their faces. Lin Mo¡¯s arrival has disrupted the order of the other factions that had long been established. No doubt, they will try to get rid of him.¡± ¡°Lin Mo should be aware. After all, someone tried to assassinate him earlier. It seems like he¡¯s quite powerful.¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s strong? He can¡¯t possibly take on the entire Miao family by himself.¡± Just as everyone was discussing, Wu Jin walked up to the center of the stage. ¡°Welcome. There are three items up for auction this time.¡± The crowd became quiet. All that mattered was the auction. As for the grudge between Lin Mo and the Miao family, it was none of their business. ¡°The first item up for auction is a tier 4 top-grade movement technique. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± A portion of the crowd revealed a surprised expression. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the item that Lin Mo had spent over 20,000 spirit stones to acquire from the royal family¡¯s auction house? I was there. It¡¯s no mistake.¡± ??? Everyone was confused. They had no idea what was happening. In fact, Lin Mo¡¯s starting price was much lower than the original. ¡°The technique must have been too difficult for him to cultivate. After all, it¡¯s a tier 4 item that has the potential to become tier 5. That must be why he decided to resell it.¡± Most of the people felt the same way. No one expected Lin Mo to successfully cultivate the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡± already! Not to mention Qingyang City, even in the entire continent, barely anyone could learn and comprehend this cultivation technique in such a short period of time. Miao Yan¡¯s expression was somewhat disdainful. He sneered and said, ¡°I thought there would be something good, but it¡¯s just a recycled item. This guy must be at the end of his wits. He doesn¡¯t have anything valuable. That¡¯s why he¡¯s reselling things.¡± Lin Mo was probably lacking in resources and could only come up with this plan. That was what most people thought. One of Miao Yan¡¯s lackeys tried to flatter him. ¡°Who cares. It¡¯s fine as long as he¡¯s not a threat to us.¡± Miao Yan revealed a hint of killing intent. ¡°Even if he is a threat, so what? The Miao family can easily get rid of him.¡± Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou looked at each other. They were pleasantly surprised. Obviously, they were very interested in this cultivation technique. The Huang family did not have a very good relationship with the royal family. As such, they did not attend their previous auction. They were aware that Lin Mo had obtained the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡±, but they never expected him to resell it. This was a great opportunity for them. ¡°6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡­ A number of people wanted this cultivation technique. The two sisters were determined to obtain it as well. In the end, they managed to get it for eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°Isn¡¯t Lin Mo a little foolish? He¡¯s reselling this cultivation technique so quickly.¡± Of course, in terms of price, Lin Mo could not compete with the royal family. It could be said that Lin Mo had suffered a great loss. Even his family would not be able to keep his business afloat if this went on.. Chapter 32 - Beat Him at His Own Game Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Maybe he is just a fool with a lot of money.¡± ¡°He could have already mastered the technique. If so, he¡¯ll only lose a few thousand low-grade spirit stones. That¡¯s nothing.¡± Meanwhile, the Huang sisters were overjoyed. They knew how much Lin Mo had originally paid for the cultivation technique. In a way, they had made a huge profit. Everyone felt that Lin Mo was losing out. Of course, only Lin Mo himself knew the truth. He may have had a deficit in terms of spirit stones, but he had benefited from other aspects. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡±. ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 7 top-grade movement technique, ¡°Dragon Swimming Steps¡±! ] Lin Mo had already mastered the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡± and now, he received an even better rebate from the system. The spirit stones lost were nothing in comparison. Even the royal family would covet such a cultivation technique. Moreover, it was exactly what Lin Mo wanted. Since he was being threatened by the Miao and Lin families, he needed a better movement technique. The ¡®¡±Dust Rising Steps¡± was good but it was still a tier four cultivation technique, even if it had the potential to become tier five. Thus, it was still slightly lacking. With the ¡°Dragon Swimming Steps¡±, it would make him difficult to be pursued once he mastered it. Lin Mo did not like to underestimate his opponent. If he was not completely confident, he would not simply take any action. This was also the reason why he had yet to make a move on the Lin and Miao family. Besides, these two families were huge and their foundations were deep. He needed to take things slow. ¡°The second item up for auction is a tier 4 top-grade demonic beast, winged python. Starting price is 8,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± A huge iron cage was lifted up. There was a pair of cold and cruel vertical pupils. The bucket-sized python coiled inside the cage, looking rather restless. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Its tongue flickered around restlessly. Upon seeing the mass amount of people, the python quickly entered an attacking state. Its upper body stood up straight and the tip of its tail slapped the ground. Fortunately, this cage had a special seal on it. No ordinary cage could contain this demonic beast. Even so, everyone still felt a chill when they saw the snake. ¡°That¡¯s a genuine tier 4 top-grade demonic beast.¡± ¡°Look, there are a pair of small wings on its back.¡± There were two small bulges on the python¡¯s back. It was close to its abdomen and there was a pair of wings. However, the wings were quite small. Realistically, the snake would not be able to fly. Furthermore, the snake¡¯s body was huge. Someone guessed, ¡°I think it mutated. The wings may look unremarkable now but in the future, they will definitely grow bigger. By then, it would be even more of a threat.¡± Snakes were reptiles, so they could only fight on the ground. If they had functional wings, they could expand their fighting capabilities. Their speed would also increase. It took a lot of effort for Wu Jin to obtain the snake. He did his best to fulfill Lin Mo¡¯s request. The lowest grade of a demonic beast that the system had rewarded was tier five. Lin Mo was rather worried about this. If he auctioned off this low-tier demonic beast, the return might not be what he expected. ¡°Father, that¡¯s a tier 4 top-grade demonic beast! Should we buy it?¡± Du Nanfeng and Du Wan were quite shocked. They did not expect Lin Mo to produce results so quickly. Their faith in him was bolstered. No doubt, the young man would keep his words. They believed he would provide them with a top-grade tier five beast soon. Although a tier four top-grade demonic beast would prove the black-blood tiger with some growth, its effects would undoubtedly not be as good as a tier five demonic beast. Therefore, this python was not a must-buy for Du Nanfeng. Hence, he decided to take things slow. Miao Yan overheard Du Wan¡¯s words. In recent times, wherever there were demonic beasts, the Du family would also be present. Normally, the Du family would instantly place their bids. The corners of Miao Yan¡¯s mouth immediately revealed a malicious smile. ¡°10,000 spirit stones!¡± After placing his bid, Miao Yan threw a provocative gaze over. A tier four top-grade demonic beast was not weak. If the Du family obtained it, their power would increase even further. After all, beast taming was their specialty. It would certainly threaten the stable position of the Miao family. Additionally, the relationship between the Miao and Du families was not that good. Miao Yan would not allow them to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately for him, he did not know about the deal between the Du family and Lin Mo. Otherwise, he would absolutely regret his decision. Du Wan lowered his voice and said with dissatisfaction, ¡°Miao Yan doesn¡¯t need the python at all. A higher-tier demonic beast had already been prepared for him. He¡¯s deliberately bickering with us.¡± Du Nanfeng was a shrewd old man. Obviously, he had seen through Miao Yan¡¯s plan. He said meaningfully, ¡°Then, we shall return the favor.¡± Lin Mo and the Miao family did not have a good relationship either. If the Miao family found out they were helping Lin Mo, coupled with the existing conflicts, their fragile connection would falter even further. It was only a matter of time before they came for each other¡¯s throats. Thus, it would be better to do Lin Mo a favor. The father and son looked at each other. Du Wan immediately understood Du Nanfeng¡¯s intentions and shouted, ¡°12,000 spirit stones!¡± Then, he glared back fiercely at Miao Yan. On the other hand, Miao Yan thought that he had successfully provoked the Du family. He was very pleased with himself. ¡°15,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°20,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡­. Chapter 33 - The Fish Has Bitten the Hook Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the beginning, people were still competing. However, the price soared at a ridiculous rate and they could no longer afford it. Eventually, only Du Wan and Miao Yan¡¯s voices were left. Wang Qing and the Huang sisters simply watched. ¡°Who do you think will win?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell. Both families are not lacking when it comes to spirit stones.¡± ¡°Even if the Du family won the bid, they would suffer a huge loss. The price is ten times higher than normal rates. Miao Yan is really ruthless.¡± Currently, the price for the demonic beast was forty thousand spirit stones. From the looks of it, neither side was willing to give up. The price would just continue to go up. Du Wan looked a little anxious. ¡°Miao Yan, don¡¯t go too far! Our family is determined to obtain this tier 4 demonic beast. Why are you making things hard for us?¡± On the other hand, Miao Yan had a confident look on his face. He was certain victory was within his grasp and replied pretentiously, ¡°What are you saying? Are others not allowed to bid on the demonic beast? I need it as well. Let¡¯s go all out.¡± Everyone knew he was just trying to provoke the Du family. If Du Wan actually needed this demonic beast, he would be enraged by him. A smile flashed across his face. Despite that, he hid it and pretended to be angry instead. ¡°Are you trying to challenge the Du family? In Qingyang City, we¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Du Nanfeng finally spoke. He looked calm on the surface, but everyone could tell that he was actually displeased. ¡°Since Young Master Miao wants to compete with us, we will be more than willing to play along.¡± Basically, he meant that they were going to fight to the end. Miao Yan did not want to be overshadowed. So, he said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see who¡¯s better.¡± Things were seemingly going according to Miao Yan¡¯s plan. There was no way he would let the Du family have the demonic beast at a normal price. He did not hesitate and continued his bids. Du Nanfeng and Du Wan looked at each other. Then, they followed suit. The fish had already taken the bait and the net was about to be reeled in. Lin Mo saw everything that was happening. He could barely hold back his laughter. What the Du family did was an absolute power move. If he had not personally made the agreement with them, he would have also been fooled by their act. Of course, Miao Yan was not aware of anything. He thought that he could strike a blow to the Du family. The price was getting higher and higher, which meant the Du family would need to expend a lot of spirit stones. ¡°50,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± When Miao Yan shouted out this sky-high price, everyone gasped. ¡°Did I hear wrongly? A mere tier 4 demonic beast is actually going to be sold for 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. This price is unheard of even in large auction houses. In fact, this price could buy several tier 4 demonic beasts!¡± ¡°Sigh, I really don¡¯t understand what goes through rich people¡¯s minds.¡± Miao Yan also realized this price was too high. Even for him, it would be difficult to fork out such an amount. What if the father and son got frightened and stopped bidding?! His heart skipped a beat. He tried to comfort himself by thinking about their previous purchase history. They should keep bidding. The servant beside Miao Yan also looked troubled. ¡°Young master, we didn¡¯t bring that many spirit stones. I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Miao Yan said fiercely, ¡°Stop blabbering. The Du family will definitely continue to bid. We won¡¯t be the one paying.¡± Although he said that, Miao Yan could not help but feel a little flustered. He subconsciously looked at Du Wan, hoping that the latter would place another bid. Then, he would stop. Fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones were a lot. There was a deathly silence in the air. Nobody spoke for a long time. Miao Yan tried to provoke the Du family again. ¡°What happened? Is the Du family afraid? If so, why did you act like you were determined to win?¡± As if his provocations had worked, Du Nanfeng opened his mouth. Miao Yan thought that he was going to call out a higher price, so he felt relieved and revealed a smug smile. Unfortunately for him, that was not the case. Du Nanfeng revealed a magnanimous expression. He did not look even a little bit displeased. ¡°Since Young Master Miao is so determined, I won¡¯t compete with you.¡± ??? Was the bidding session over? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call out a bid?!¡± Du Nanfeng and Du Wan¡¯s acting were really superb. It was not surprising that Miao Yan got tricked. Not only him, but everyone else also thought the Du family would continue to bid. Nobody expected them to stop. Du Nanfeng smiled as if he had won the auction. ¡°Thank you for letting us win. Young Master Miao is really too kind.¡± Du Wan also had a mocking expression on his face. He looked at the dumbfounded Miao Yan and urged, ¡°Young Master Miao, why are you still standing there? Quickly take out 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. The tier 4 demonic beast is yours.¡± He even emphasized the words ¡°Tier 4¡±. Du Wan then pretended to sigh and said, ¡°The Miao family is indeed rich. They can afford to buy a mere tier 4 demonic beast for 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. We are no match for them.¡± What he said was simply rubbing salt to the wound. Miao Yan¡¯s eyes went black and he almost fainted.. Chapter 34 - It Is Your Fault Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After hearing Du Nanfeng and Du Wan¡¯s words, Miao Yan would be a fool if he still did not understand what was going on. With a livid expression, he stood up from his chair and pointed at Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± The sight of Lin Mo made him even more furious. Perhaps they had worked together to set up this trap. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you guys to be so despicable. You set me up!¡± Du Wan put on an innocent expression on his face. ¡°Young Master Miao, you raised the price. Nobody forced you. The transaction was consensual. How could you say that we set you up? We even have to regretfully give up the demonic beast.¡± What Du Wan said almost caused Miao Yan to vomit up blood. He was unable to speak for a long time. A tier four demonic beast for fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Miao Yan would probably be scolded once he returned home. This thought caused him to feel even more depressed. Lin Mo gave his order and Wu Jin announced, ¡°Young Master Miao, please pay up.¡± Miao Yan clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to just leave. His expression looked as if he was going to eat someone. It was quite scary. This did not affect Du Wan at all. He pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°Young Master Miao, are you thinking of going back on your words? Your family owns such a big auction house. Don¡¯t tell me you actually can¡¯t afford it?¡± Miao Yan was helpless. No matter what, he had to fork out the spirit stones. Otherwise, it would severely damage the Miao family¡¯s reputation. He forcefully suppressed his anger and said to his servant, ¡°Go back and get the spirit stones for me.¡± Wu Jin deliberately added, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait here until Young Master Miao is ready to pay.¡± Then, he sat down beside Miao Yan and acted as if he was worried the latter would runoff. Miao Yan had never suffered such humiliation before. All he could do was grit his teeth. His plan to harm the Du family had backfired. In fact, his own family would suffer the loss. The people around him subconsciously moved away. Everyone could see that Miao Yan was about to blow up at any moment. Soon, the spirit stones were brought over in an interspatial ring. Miao Yan viciously threw it at Wu Jin. His rage level had reached its peak. ¡°There, 50,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Du Wan clapped his hands. ¡°Young Master Miao is indeed magnanimous.¡± His compliment was nothing but sarcasm. Some people could not help but laugh out loud. At this moment, Miao Yan truly looked like a fool. Simultaneously, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 top-grade winged python. ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade demonic beast, giant winged python! ] Lin Mo felt a heavy burden lifted off his back. He had managed to fulfill his promise to others. Once he sent the giant winged python to the Du family, their transaction would be completed. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze shifted to Miao Yan. He had no plans to let the latter off easily. Besides, their relationship was already strained, so it did not matter if he offended him a little more. ¡°How would I know if there are 50,000 low-grade spirit stones in this ring?¡± Miao Yan was so angry that his facial features became distorted. He asked in a low voice, ¡°You dare to suspect me?¡± His eyes were filled with killing intent. If there was no one around, he would have already launched an attack by now. However, Lin Mo was not afraid at all. He shook his head and said, ¡°I dare not, but 50,000 low-grade spirit stones is a lot. I have to be meticulous.¡± Lin Mo intentionally emphasized the words ¡°50,000 low-grade spirit stones¡± just to provoke Miao Yan even further. Miao Yan¡¯s gaze was dark. He was like a venomous snake. His facial expression was enough to instill fear in normal people. ¡°Enough. Don¡¯t go too far. I will remember everything that has happened today. In the future, I will definitely repay you a hundred times over!¡± Lin Mo did not take Miao Yan¡¯s threat to heart. He merely smiled faintly and turned around to leave. Miao Yan felt as if he was punched in the gut. Whenever he thought about the fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, he could feel his heart bleed. Worse still, the people around were looking at him with either pitiful or mocking eyes. He shouted viciously, ¡°What are all of you looking at?!¡± Everyone hurriedly withdrew their gazes. Of course, their inner thoughts were out of Miao Yan¡¯s control. ¡°The third item up for auction is a giant black scythe. It¡¯s a tier 4 middle-grade weapon. Starting price is 3,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± A giant black scythe appeared in the middle of the stage. It emanated an ominous black aura. The audience could also feel a chill down their spines. Clearly, the quality of this scythe was not bad. Yet, most people had disappointed expressions on their faces. After all, the third item looked rather ordinary. ¡°It can¡¯t be compared to the first two items, but it¡¯s still good.¡± ¡°This auction has already surpassed the other two auctions.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Which auction house¡¯s tier 4 demonic beast can¡­¡± The person who said that immediately realized he had misspoken. He quickly stopped talking. However, Miao Yan was already staring at him with his death-like gaze. The man was scared out of his wits. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Wang Qing was delighted when he saw the black scythe. He liked its unique design. So, he opened his mouth and shouted, ¡°4,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Chapter 35 - All Escorts Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the end, the black scythe was bought by Wang Qing for eight thousand low-grade spirit stones. Those who lost the bid could not help but sigh. ¡°I thought I¡¯ll have a chance in this new auction house, but all the good items were still bought by the four great clans. It¡¯s as if I¡¯m just their escort.¡± The rest of the people agreed. However, there was nothing they could do. The final price was extremely high and they did not possess so many spirit stones. Obviously, the four great clans had powerful foundations. A normal person stood no chance against them. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s just treat this as an experience.¡± [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a giant black scythe. ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times return! ] [ Obtained tier 6 top-grade weapon, wind-cleaving scythe! ] Lin Mo was slightly startled. His reward filled him with ecstasy. It seemed like the rewards from the system were increasing in terms of quality. He did not know what triggered it, but that did not matter as long as he profited. Things were going great for him. The auction was nearing its end. To the patrons, their trip today had not been in vain. This was because they got to witness the clash between the Du and Miao family. A tier four demonic beast was sold at a price that was equal to a tier six demonic beast. Originally, Miao Yan wanted to cause trouble. However, it backfired and he had to suffer the backlash. This topic would be discussed by many people for a long time. At the same time, it seemed like the Du family had formed an alliance with Lin Mo. How else would the event play out to such an extent? ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo and the Du family to get along in such a short period of time. Looks like he¡¯s quite capable.¡± ¡°He has offended the Miao family but with the Du family¡¯s support, who knows how the future will play out.¡± ¡°After this incident, the relationship between the Miao and Du family will become even tenser. At this point, they¡¯re walking on thin ice.¡± ¡°The Miao family has dominated Qingyang City for years. They had also been fighting with the Du family over resources and benefits. This time, Du Nanfeng has managed to deal a heavy blow to them. I wonder what the Miao family will do next.¡±. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Looks like there is going to be a lot of trouble in Qingyang City again.¡± ¡­ Miao Yan returned home with a livid expression. Miao Jian and the others had been waiting for his return. Upon seeing Miao Yan, they hurriedly asked, ¡°Yan ¡®er, what happened? I heard that you used 50,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy a tier 4 demonic beast. Is that true?¡± The Miao family was rich, but this was just a waste. Miao Jian could not believe what Miao Yan had done. Miao Yan¡¯s eyes turned red with anger. ¡°Father, they set me up! The Du family has already joined forces with Lin Mo. They tricked me into wasting so many spirit stones.¡± Miao Yan recalled what had happened. Du Nanfeng and Du Wan should have lost, not him. ¡°Boom!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a loud sound could be heard. It was Miao Jian. He had struck his palm on the table. ¡°This is too much!¡± The table was made of a hundred-year-old piece of heavy wood. It was said to be indestructible. Yet, Miao Jian could destroy it easily. One could only imagine his cultivation level. Miao Jian furrowed his brows. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°This is not your fault. They are simply too cunning.¡± After that, a look of contemplation flashed across his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m just wondering when did they start to work together.¡± ¡°Father, the Du family was so devious. We have been on bad terms for a long time. They must have planned this attack from the start.¡± Miao Jian¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°We can¡¯t underestimate the Du family¡¯s strength. Nonetheless, they will be dealt with sooner or later. The real problem is Lin Mo. He¡¯ll definitely pay a painful price.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have already contacted the second elder of the Lin family. He has promised to help us,¡± said Miao Jian sinisterly. His eyes were filled with killing intent. If the two great families joined forces, they would definitely be able to deal with Lin Mo. Miao Yan finally revealed a relieved smile. ¡°When the time comes, I will personally cut that brat into a thousand pieces. Only then will my anger be appeased!¡± ¡­ Once the auction was over, Lin Mo brought the tier five demonic beast over to the Du family¡¯s estate. Naturally, Du Nanfeng and Du Wan welcomed him warmly. ¡°Did you like my gift?¡± Lin Mo understood that Du Nanfeng was referring to the fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones. ¡°Of course. Thank you for helping me.¡± The tier four demonic beast should have only cost ten thousand spirit stones at most. Miao Yan was basically scammed. Du Wan was laughing from the side. ¡°You should have seen Miao Yan¡¯s expression. It was so gratifying.¡± Lin Mo revealed a mysterious smile. ¡°I¡¯m here to return the favor.¡± Du Nanfeng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Roar!¡± A demonic beast¡¯s roar could be heard. Du Nanfeng looked at the thick python in front of him. Its huge wings were strong and powerful. When the python flapped it, dust, sand, and stones on the ground flew everywhere. Every feather was extremely sharp as well. They flickered with a faint green light. Clearly, it contained a lethal poison. This demonic beast was an advanced version of the winged python.. The aura emitted was enough proof of it being a genuine top-grade tier five demonic beast! Chapter 36 - Beast Taming Secret Manual, Pattern Revealed Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Du Nanfeng was ecstatic. He did not expect Lin Mo to be so capable. The latter really got him a top-grade tier five demonic beast in such a short time. ¡°Owner Lin, I don¡¯t know how to thank you. You¡¯ve really helped me out!¡± If a person could not obtain top-grade medicinal pills, they could take their time to collect them. After all, one could still cultivate without them, just slower. However, demonic beasts were different. They had violent personalities. Even if they were tamed and contracted, it would be difficult to change their bestial nature. If they did not receive their required vitality, they would not be able to suppress their demonic qi. This would cause them to explode and die. The black-blood tiger was the most important demonic beast to the Du family. It allowed them to contend with the other three great families. In short, they needed its powerful combat strength. Since they could not find any high-level demonic beasts, the Du family reluctantly gathered tier three or four demonic beasts to replace them. Of course, that was not enough for the black-blood tiger to develop further. Tier five demonic beasts were not easy to find. Moreover, there were other families who were hostile towards them, especially the Miao family. They would definitely interfere and not let the Du family succeed easily. If the black-blood tiger really broke through, Du Nanfeng¡¯s strength would increase by a lot. There was no way the other families would just sit and watch. Du Nanfeng seemed to have made up his mind. ¡°Owner Lin, if you want to learn how to tame beasts, I¡¯m willing to give you the Beast Taming Manual.¡± Even Du Wan was quite shocked to hear this. The Du family was able to establish a foothold in Qingyang City because of their unique beast-taming abilities. The Beast Taming Manual was only passed down to the Du family. An ordinary disciple would not be able to learn it. Du Nanfeng continued in a deep voice, ¡°Owner Lin is our great benefactor. With this top-grade tier 5 beast, I think the black-blood tiger will be able to have a successful breakthrough.¡± It might not be possible with an ordinary tier five demonic beast. However, this beast was top-grade! In fact, it¡¯s almost tier six. It should be a sufficient meal for the black-blood tiger. As the head of the family, Du Nanfeng¡¯s words carried a lot of weight. He meant what he said. ¡°If this is the clan head¡¯s decision, then we have no objections.¡± This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Mo. He never expected Du Nanfeng to be so generous. ¡°Thank you for your good intentions.¡± Lin Mo also handed over the interspatial ring that was on his hand. ¡°These are the things that you¡¯ve asked me to collect previously. They are all stored in this ring.¡± A look of surprise flashed across Du Nanfeng¡¯s face as he took the ring. There were medicinal pills, strengthening ingredients, and all sorts of heavenly treasures inside. He did not expect Lin Mo to collect them so quickly. ¡°According to our previous agreement, I will heighten the lookout fish¡¯s bloodline. To do so, for the next one and a half months, the lookout fish will have to stay here. It will be in my care.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Lin Mo was not worried that Du Nanfeng would go back on his words or harm the lookout fish. After all, the two of them had already made a deal and the latter was not a short-sighted person. An ordinary person could only contract one life-bound demonic beast. The black-blood tiger had already expended a lot of the Du family¡¯s resources, so nurturing the lookout fish was a small matter. After a period of time, the lookout fish would complete its transformation and become even stronger. When that time came, Lin Mo could not wait to see it fight again. The lookout fish would definitely turn the tides of battles. After Lin Mo left, Du Wan asked in a confused tone, ¡°Father, even if you are grateful to Lin Mo, you can just give him some magic tools and elixirs. Why did you offer him the Du family¡¯s precious Beast Taming Manual?¡± Du Nanfeng narrowed his eyes and asked in return, ¡°Do you think he is lacking in these things?¡± Lin Mo had held auctions every so often and the items were frequently tier five or six. Clearly, he had an impressive stash. ¡°He probably doesn¡¯t even need the manual. It¡¯s meaningless to him.¡± ¡°Even so, to pass the Beast Taming Manual to an outsider¡­¡± Before Du Wan could finish his sentence, Du Nanfeng interrupted him. ¡°You are still too young. We need to see the bigger picture. I¡¯m doing this for our own good as well. If we build a good relationship with a strong person, the Du family will become even more powerful in the future.¡± Du Wan did not expect his father to think so highly of Lin Mo. Du Nanfeng could see that Du Wan was confused. So, he continued, ¡°It has only been a short period of time. Yet, Lin Mo was able to bring us a tier 5 top-grade demonic beast. From this, I could tell that he¡¯s not an ordinary person.¡± ¡°However, according to our investigation, he is not even favored by the Lin family. He might be a genius, but that was in the past.¡± Du Nanfeng shook his head. ¡°No, you¡¯re wrong.¡± He added earnestly, ¡°This world is full of geniuses. What makes Lin Mo different is that he fell to rock bottom, but he managed to get up again. It¡¯s admirable. At the same time, people like him are the most terrifying.¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Chapter 37 - The Dragon Swimming Steps and the Wind-Cleaving Scythe Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After Lin Mo returned from the Du family¡¯s estate, he began his closed-door cultivation. Before that, he instructed Wu Jin, ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone disturb me.¡± Wu Jin was a little surprised. ¡°Young master, why are you in such a hurry to cultivate?¡± ¡°Miao Yan had suffered a huge loss in our last auction. He won¡¯t let things go so easily. Although it was the Du family¡¯s trap, he¡¯ll definitely think that I was involved and put the blame on me.¡± Lin Mo added, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s easier to deal with a family or just one person?¡± Wu Jin answered without hesitation, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s easier to deal with one person.¡± When he said that, his heart skipped a beat. The Miao family had always been hostile towards them and now, the situation had escalated. Clearly, teaming up with the Du family was the best decision. Lin Mo nodded his head. He looked into the air with a solemn expression. There had been no news from the Lin family. No doubt, they would not let him off the hook. The next assassination attempt should be coming soon. Hence, he needed to increase his strength urgently. ¡°Also, pay more attention to what¡¯s happening in the city these few days. Shut the auction house¡¯s door tightly. Keep a low profile for the time being. We¡¯ll discuss our next steps after I come out of seclusion.¡± Wu Jin nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will handle everything.¡± Hence, Lin Mo began his cultivation. In the secret chamber, Lin Mo sat cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state. He was very composed. Countless amounts of pure energy flowed through his body¡¯s eight extraordinary meridians and various major acupoints. They were like small agile fishes. These meridians were the rivers they relied on to survive. The human body¡¯s meridians were extremely complicated. It was like a tree with countless branches. Intersecting and interweaving, they were scattered all over the place. However, in the end, they all ended up in the same place. Then, they would converge into a boundless ocean. If someone was able to look inside, they would discover a small vortex within Lin Mo¡¯s meridians. The cold air within that vortex was overflowing. It was due to the influence of the Frost Sword technique. Some spots were ridiculously cold as if it was the land of the extreme north. Countless amounts of spiritual energy were absorbed and the vortex gradually became larger. The qi around Lin Mo¡¯s body was also affected. There were traces of coldness. He breathed in and out with it a peerless rhythm. That caused the qi to enter and surround his body. Not long after, light blue crystals appeared all over the ground. Even the walls were covered with a faint layer of frost. Soon, the vortex absorbed everything. Nothing could stop Lin Mo from breaking through the shackles within his body. Suddenly, Lin Mo opened his eyes. A pale blue light flashed past. In an instant, the ice and snow disappeared. However, his limbs were filled with power. It was as if he could easily condense boundless energy. Lin Mo had reached the fourth level of the spirit gathering realm! His speed was simply shocking. With such strength, nobody in Qingyang City could compete with him. The only ones who were stronger than Lin Mo were the elders and leaders of the four great clans! At the same time, he realized that in the spirit gathering realm, the first four realms corresponded to the four limbs. Thus, allowing the four limbs to achieve a temporary increase in strength. However, to an ordinary person, this would more or less cause a certain amount of damage. Since Lin Mo possessed the god-slaying body, it allowed him to survive in such a desperate situation. With his special constitution and the high-grade cultivation technique, he would be able to fight even against a peak level nine expert! ¡°The clan¡¯s right-hand man is probably a peak level 9 expert. Perhaps the Miao, Wang, and Huang family¡¯s patriarchs are all at this stage.¡± Based on Lin Mo¡¯s memories, the Lin clan¡¯s patriarch had already reached this level a few decades ago. It was highly likely that he had already completed his breakthrough. Nobody knew what terrifying power he had achieved. Still, Lin Mo was not afraid. His cultivation speed was truly monstrous. In the entire continent, no one could surpass him. He believed that with time, he would be able to catch up. Anyway, he started to cultivate the ¡°Dragon Swimming Steps¡±. Since he had a foundation from the ¡°Dust Rising Steps¡±, cultivating the ¡°Dragon Swimming Steps¡± was not difficult. On the contrary, it went incredibly smoothly. A golden dragon phantom appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s body, giving off an aura that could reach the heavens. As the phantom gradually solidified, the dragon¡¯s eyes were filled with an indescribable majesty. It felt like the dragon was about to come back to life. This meant that Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation was a huge success. He was only one step away from perfecting it. Naturally, he did not forget about the wind-cleaving scythe. A huge scythe appeared in the air. It looked extremely heavy but was actually exceptionally light. The blade was sharp. It could probably split the air in half. The sound of sharp blades cutting through the wind could be heard. Most importantly, the wind-cleaving scythe could be adjusted according to the user¡¯s wishes. It was really handy. Furthermore, the wind-cleaving scythe had AOE (TN: Area of effect) attacks. Lin Mo planned to use the Frost Sword if he was facing a single enemy. On the other hand, if he was surrounded by enemies, he would use the wind-cleaving scythe. Most of the newly obtained items had been cultivated by Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the auction return system isn¡¯t omnipotent. I can only use whatever the system gives. If only I could get what I want¡­¡± Even so, Lin Mo was still satisfied. After all, the items given by the system were all good. Along with the god-slaying body, no matter what he cultivated, his speed would be much faster than an ordinary person.. Chapter 38 - A Plan to Kill by Borrowing Someone Else’s Knife Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the Lin family¡¯s estate, things were stirring up. ¡°What? Another failure?!¡± The second elder had received the news from Qingyang City. He stood up from his chair and accidentally knocked over a teacup on the table. ¡°How is this possible? The assassins were very powerful. They should be more than enough to deal with Lin Mo. How did they fail? Is an expert secretly helping out that kid?¡± The second elder was puzzled. However, before he could gather his thoughts, the clan leader sent someone for him. ¡°Did the clan leader say why he¡¯s looking for me?¡± Could it be that Lin Mo¡¯s attempted assassinations were exposed? Unfortunately, the servant shook his head. He had no idea. ¡°The clan leader only said that he wanted to see you and nothing else.¡± Just as he reached the door, a strong spiritual power rushed over. It even caused him to have a hard time breathing. The second elder¡¯s body subconsciously reacted and moved to the side. It was difficult to resist such strong power. Half of his shoulder felt like it was crushed by a giant hand. He grunted and his face became extremely pale. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground. ¡°Clan leader, please calm down. What have I done to make you so angry?¡± The clan leader spoke in a deep voice, ¡°You still have the nerve to ask! How dare you attempt to assassinate Lin Mo!¡± This caused the second elder¡¯s heart to thump. His misdeeds were indeed exposed. If Lin Mo died, there should be no evidence left behind. Hence, even if the matter was exposed, it would not have mattered. At most, he would only face a small punishment. Regrettably, Lin Mo survived and the clan leader was furious upon hearing what had happened. Things had completely gone awry. The clan leader stared at the second elder. He knew what the latter was thinking and released another strike of spiritual energy as he was unable to contain his anger. ¡°Our clan members are not allowed to kill each other. That rule had been long established. You have no regard for me as the clan leader.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just thinking for the sake of our clan. Everyone knows that Lin Mo is good for nothing. Enemy clans use him to mock us. He¡¯s just a dirt stain. That¡¯s why I took such drastic measures.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The second elder spoke with sincerity and passion. He was really thinking about the Lin clan. When the clan leader saw his expression, most of the anger in his heart dissipated. ¡°Are the assassins members of the Lin clan?¡± The second elder was not so foolish. It would be bad if word got out. ¡°Clan leader, don¡¯t worry. Those assassins are outsiders. I will never do anything that would tarnish the Lin family¡¯s reputation.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll let you off. Don¡¯t do such foolish things in the future.¡± The clan leader gazed into the air. There was a hint of contemplation on his face. ¡°Lin Mo has already recovered his strength. In fact, he¡¯s even more powerful now. You absolutely must not send any more assassins. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off so lightly again!¡± The second elder cried out involuntarily, ¡°He has recovered his strength?!¡± Upon hearing that, the clan leader narrowed his eyes and his deep gaze landed on the second elder. His tone was rather unclear as he said, ¡°You seem to be very surprised to hear this.¡± The second elder hurriedly lowered his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that.¡± This was the reason why the clan leader had thrown such a huge tantrum. If Lin Mo was still good for nothing, then he would not mind it. However, things had changed. Since Lin Mo had recovered his strength, the clan leader was somewhat tempted to bring him back to the family. On the other hand, this was bad news for the second elder. ¡°I can no longer turn a blind eye to your little tricks. The interests of the clan are the most important.¡± The second elder¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Understood.¡± He thought of Lin Mo¡¯s reputation as a genius in the past. At that time, Lin Mo was in the limelight. Others were considered dull in comparison to his brilliance. This also applied to the second elder¡¯s bloodline. If Lin Mo was around, no one else could make a name for themselves. A dark light flashed across the second elder¡¯s eyes as he probed, ¡°If Lin Mo knew that the assassins were sent by me, I¡¯m afraid that he would harbor resentment for the Lin family. When that time comes¡­¡± He did not say anything further. The second elder was really good at manipulating others. The clan leader pondered for a moment and said indifferently, ¡°In any case, the assassins were not members of the Lin family. Lin Mo does not have any evidence. If he was smart, he would not pick a fight with us. Breaking off or becoming enemies with the Lin family would not be beneficial to him.¡± Those words were true, but how could Lin Mo just pretend that nothing had happened? He had to pay them back! ¡°Remember to put away those thoughts of yours. Lin Mo is still useful to the clan. If I find out that you¡¯ve conspired behind my back again, I definitely won¡¯t let you off.¡± The second elder hurriedly agreed, ¡°Got it.¡± As he walked out of the main gate, he could not hold it in any longer and immediately spat out large mouthfuls of blood. The clan leader had really struck him hard earlier. The second elder sneered like a venomous snake in the dark. He might have agreed to back down, but that did not mean others could not attack. All of a sudden, he remembered something. Recently, the Miao family of Qingyang City had sent someone to gather information. A brilliant idea began forming in his mind.. Chapter 39 - The Biological Son of a Saboteur Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A few days had passed and Lin Mo finally finished his training. Once Wu Jin heard this news, he immediately rushed over. Lin Mo¡¯s aura had yet to be retracted. The moment Wu Jin saw him, he froze on the spot. It felt like he was facing an endless ocean with humongous waves surging towards him. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart. Wu Jin lowered his head abruptly and the pressure was greatly reduced. ¡°Congratulations, young master. You¡¯ve gotten stronger again.¡± Although he did not know Lin Mo¡¯s current level, it was clear that the latter had become more powerful. ¡°Has anything occurred in the past few days?¡± Wu Jin shook his head. ¡°Everything is calm. Nothing much has happened.¡± Nothing happening could make a person more vigilant. The Miao and Lin families were probably coming up with a bigger plan. At the thought of this, Lin Mo immediately said, ¡°I want to buy a cauldron. Help me look for one¡± Wu Jin had a puzzled look on his face. ¡°Cauldron?¡± Why would Lin Mo need a cauldron? He was not an alchemist, so he had no use for it. This was a really strange request. ¡°I don¡¯t mean to be disrespectful, but why do you need a cauldron?¡± It turned out that Lin Mo had previously learned the method of refining demonic beasts¡¯ bloodlines from Du Nanfeng. A cauldron was an indispensable tool. Moreover, if he ever wanted to learn the art of pill refining, he would also need it. Wu Jin was very efficient. He gathered a lot of information very quickly. ¡°Young master, when it comes to forging weapons, the Wang family is the best among the four clans.¡± This was true. For example, Wang Qing had extraordinary eyesight and he also showed a strong interest in weapons. He could easily tell the pros and cons of a weapon. Additionally, he was the one who bought the scythe at the auction. ¡°The four families are able to establish themselves in Qingyang City because each of them has their own strengths. Young master, if you want to buy a better cauldron, I think it¡¯s best to start from the Wang family. They should have good connections.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts were similar to Wu Jin¡¯s. Those in the market were all of medium-quality. The good things were all monopolized by the four big families. ¡°We shall make some preparations and visit the Wang family.¡± Lin Mo did not have any conflict with Wang Qing. However, they did not interact either. Wang Qing had only bought items from him. Thus, he did not expect Wang Qing to show such enthusiasm towards his arrival. ¡°Father, this is the owner of the auction house that I mentioned to you earlier. His name is Lin Mo.¡± Wang Zhong was sitting at the head¡¯s seat. He was about forty years old. The man looked tall and sturdy. His eyes were somewhat cold and he had two curved eyebrows. He appeared to be mighty even if he was not angry. After sizing up Lin Mo, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Owner Lin to be so young. It¡¯s impressive that you¡¯re managing the auction house.¡± Wang Zhong¡¯s voice was deafening like a loud bell. Lin Mo also noticed the thick calluses on his thumb. It was probably caused by forging weapons. ¡°Clan leader, you flatter me.¡± Wang Zhong ordered someone to serve Lin Mo some tea. ¡°May I know the purpose of your visit?¡± Lin Mo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the Wang family is quite skilled in forging magic treasures and weapons. I¡¯m here today to ask for a cauldron.¡± Wang Zhong paused. The fragrance of the tea lingered in the air. No one could see his expression clearly. He slowly fiddled with the teapot¡¯s lid and stayed silent for a while. Wang Qing was a direct person who respected the strong very much. Lin Mo was about the same age as him, but he was able to set up an auction house in Qingyang City. Furthermore, he displayed extraordinary power when he killed the assassin. Hence, Wang Qing could not help but admire Lin Mo. He had wanted to befriend him for a long time. Since Wang Zhong did not reply, Wang Qing could not help but say, ¡°Father, Owner Lin personally came to request for our help. There are quite a number of good cauldrons in our house. Why don¡¯t we aid him?¡± Originally, Wang Zhong hesitated. Obviously, he knew about the enmity between Lin Mo and the Miao family. He was unsure if his family should get involved. If he were to sell the cauldron to Lin Mo, the Miao family might think they were allied and get offended. Thus, he needed to think and be careful about this matter. However, he did not expect his own son to instantly compromise his position. At this point, there was nothing else he could say. He could not help but sigh and instructed the servants, ¡°Bring out a few cauldrons.¡± Wang Qing was a linear person. He did not understand the twists and turns. When Wang Zhong stared at him with an aggrieved expression, he did not even understand it. ¡°Owner Lin, see if there are any that you like.¡± A few cauldrons were brought out. They were of different sizes and shapes. Lin Mo walked forward and saw the first cauldron. The entire thing was translucent like white jade. It emitted a lustrous jade-like glow. One could feel the rather gentle aura from within. It was good, but not what Lin Mo wanted. The second cauldron was green. It was like a treasure that grew in the mountains. Various plants were even engraved on it. There was a faint smell of faint medicinal fragrance. If this cauldron was used to refine medicinal pills, it would definitely produce fantastic results. However, Lin Mo was mainly going to refine demonic beasts¡¯ bloodlines. Medicinal pills were not a priority, so this cauldron was not suitable either. The third cauldron was burning hot. It even raised the surrounding temperature by quite a bit. At the same time, it gave off a tyrannical aura and seemed to have a rather powerful offensive nature. This was not common for a cauldron. It could even be used as a weapon. Unfortunately, it was still not what Lin Mo needed. After looking through everything, Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°There¡¯s nothing here that I want.¡± Wang Zhong did not expect Lin Mo to be so picky. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, my cauldrons might not be suitable for you..¡± Chapter 40 - The Strange Cauldron, the Intense Reaction of the God-Slaying Body Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lin Mo was extremely disappointed. Suddenly, Wang Qing said, ¡°Father, you have forgotten about that strange cauldron!¡± Wang Zhong¡¯s expression slightly changed. On the other hand, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°Strange cauldron?¡± Wang Qing immediately answered, ¡°That¡¯s right. Owner Lin, we have a very strange cauldron.¡± Wang Zhong had no choice and could only ask someone to bring the cauldron. A huge dark cauldron appeared in front of them. It looked ordinary on the outside and was a little heavy, unlike the cauldrons which were overflowing with light and colors that Lin Mo had seen earlier. This cauldron did not even have any characteristics. From afar, it looked like a big black furnace. Lin Mo subconsciously stretched out his hand. His fingertips trembled slightly as if there was an electric current flowing through them. At the same time, there seemed to be a wave of hot air that was slowly rising from within his body. The god-slaying body was reacting intensely with this cauldron. Then, Lin Mo calmly retracted his hand and suppressed the boiling spiritual energy within his body. There was a voice telling him to obtain that cauldron at all cost. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes deepened as he probed, ¡°Is this cauldron forged by the Wang family?¡± Wang Zhong shook his head. ¡°I obtained it by accident. It was very strange, so I decided to keep it.¡± He continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t take it out earlier because this cauldron can¡¯t be used for refining.¡± Lin Mo thought that it was odd. ¡°Can¡¯t be used for refining? Why is that? Is this cauldron broken?¡± Wang Zhong had a complicated expression on his face. ¡°The moment someone attempts to refine something, this cauldron will erupt. Then, the mysterious power will devour all the energy of the item, turning it into nothing but trash. Medicinal pills or anything else, the results were always the same.¡± A cauldron was supposed to turn trash into treasure, but this thing was doing the exact opposite. Wang Zhong had been studying this mysterious cauldron¡¯s power for quite some time but to no avail. There had to be a hidden secret. Nothing else could explain the peculiar phenomenon. However, after spending countless resources, Wang Zhong still could not figure out the mystery. As time passed, he gradually gave up. Wang Zhong sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve tried all kinds of methods, but nothing worked. Owner Lin, you seemed to be very interested in this cauldron.¡± Naturally, Lin Mo could not tell the actual truth. There were very few god-slaying bodies and even fewer people who knew about them. ¡°I want to study this mysterious cauldron¡¯s power.¡± Lin Mo had a serious expression on his face. It did not seem like he was lying. However, Wang Zhong was a sharp person. He knew that things were not so simple. ¡°I think this cauldron is quite compatible with me. Could you sell it to me for 10,000 low-grade spirit stones?¡± Wang Zhong was a little hesitant. He looked at the cauldron and then at Lin Mo. Although he may not understand the profound meaning behind this cauldron, he did not want to sell it just like that either. On the other hand, Lin Mo¡¯s offer was very tempting. For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma. ¡°Owner Lin, why would you spend so many spirit stones on such a cauldron? Isn¡¯t it a waste?¡± Wang Zhong probed again to see if he could get more information out of Lin Mo. If Wang Zhong found out that Lin Mo and the cauldron had formed a connection, it would be even harder for the latter to obtain it. ¡°Clan Leader Wang, I¡¯m an auctioneer so I like to collect strange things. That¡¯s why I value this cauldron.¡± It was a solid response with no room for argument. ¡°Moreover, you¡¯ve already researched the cauldron and there were no results, right? Let me give it a try instead.¡± Wang Qing spoke from the side again. It looked like he could not wait to sell the cauldron. ¡°Father, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sell this strange cauldron to Owner Lin. It¡¯s just a waste of space for us. Almost no one would spend such a huge amount of money to buy it. Personally, I wouldn¡¯t even pay 1,000 spirit stones.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Wang Zhong was speechless. His son was incomparably honest. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes several times. However, after thinking about it, Wang Qing¡¯s words made sense. This cauldron would only collect dust if he kept it. Selling it to Lin Mo would be way better. It would even earn him quite a lot of spirit stones. ¡°Alright.¡± The two parties quickly came to an agreement. Once everything was settled, Lin Mo prepared to leave. ¡°If there¡¯s an opportunity next time, I¡¯ll visit again. Thank you for your time today.¡± Wang Zhong did not know why, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart as he looked at Lin Mo¡¯s departing figure. ¡°Father, you¡¯ve earned 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Why do you look unhappy?¡± Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhong immediately felt a burst of anger. He recalled all the times his son had pushed him into a corner. Since Lin Mo was present earlier, he could not say anything. ¡°Did you think you could control my actions?¡± Wang Qing was totally confused. He scratched his head and said, ¡°Father, I think you¡¯ve misunderstood me.¡± Wang Zhong sighed. The cauldron had already been sold. There was no point in arguing now. ¡°Lin Mo must know how to use that cauldron. I¡¯m sure he wasn¡¯t telling the truth and I don¡¯t know how many tricks he has up his sleeve. Originally, I wanted to get more information out of him, but you completely messed up my plan. ¡°¡­¡± His son was silly and sweet. Sometimes, Wang Zhong wished that he was a little more like Lin Mo. Wang Qing did not mind. ¡°No matter how rare and precious a treasure is, it¡¯s useless in the wrong hands. I think that selling the cauldron to Lin Mo was the right decision.¡± These words made Wang Zhong proud. What his son had said was completely reasonable. ¡°Finally, you have said something sensible. Still, Lin Mo is quite sly. Don¡¯t provoke him. We better not get involved with the matter between him and the Miao family.¡± Wang Zhong was not a busybody and he knew his son¡¯s characteristics very well. That was why he gave Wang Qing a reminder.. Chapter 41 - Xuanming Cauldron Chapter 41 Xuanming Cauldron Lin Mo brought back the gigantic black cauldron that he had obtained from the Wang family and went straight into the secret chamber. It was rather strange. Previously, the cauldron had had an intense reaction with the god-devouring body but now, there was nothing. It was as if it had just been a misconception. The auction house did not lack anything. There were items, pills, and plants. Nonetheless, they were all low-grade items. Even if they were to be discarded, Lin Mo would not feel any heartache. He had a bunch of tier two and three items. Lin Mo threw all the tier-two medicinal pills into the cauldron. The huge black cauldron began to spin at high speed. Not long after, it stopped in mid-air. For a fleeting moment, Lin Mo could feel a strange fluctuation. That feeling was hard to describe. Regardless, it felt somewhat familiar. Perhaps the pills¡¯ level was too low, so nothing worthy of note happened. Lin Mo opened the lid of the cauldron and took a look. There was only black ash inside. This was exactly what Wang Zhong had described. The end result would always be ashes unless the cauldron exploded. At most, the cauldron would produce medicinal liquid. Maybe the medicinal plants were too fragile and could easily be altered. Additionally, it was Lin Mo¡¯s first time refining them, so he was rather careless. Thus, such a situation occurred. Next, Lin Mo threw in a tier-three magic treasure. It was a defensive type of jade pendant. The pendant¡¯s outer appearance was bright and colorful. There were even exquisite hollowed-out patterns carved on it. The jade pendant was shaped like a butterfly. After taking a look at the cauldron, there was no black ash. Instead, there was a black lump. Even the spiritual energy inside the pendant had been swept clean. Lin Mo did not give up and continued his experimentation. As mentioned by Wang Zhong, the black ash and lump were inevitable. After devouring all the spiritual energy within the items, only trash was left behind. Lin Mo was convinced that such a situation occurred because the items¡¯ level was too low. There was no way he could study the phenomenon in detail. In order to understand the cauldron¡¯s mysterious power, a large number of resources were needed. He might even need to sacrifice tier four items. However, Lin Mo was unable to find anything. A large amount of black ash and lumps had already been accumulated. Lin Mo¡¯s entire body was covered in dust. His gaze turned cold. What exactly was the problem? After absorbing so much spiritual energy, the cauldron should have undergone some changes. Yet, everything was still the same as before. This situation was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many things Lin Mo put in the cauldron, the end results were the same. ¡°Was my senses wrong?¡± Lin Mo felt discouraged. This cauldron was completely useless. It could only devour spiritual energy. There was no further use. He shook his head in disbelief. It seems like even the god-devouring body could make a mistake. In a final act of desperation, Lin Mo decided to try using a high-grade item. ¡°I should try using a high-grade item. That might be effective.¡± Wang Zhong had also used countless low-grade items. However, after failing so many times, he was reluctant to risk any high-grade item. Even though tier two and three items were cheap and common, they still add up to a lot. It was not a small expenditure. Since nothing of value was obtained, Wang Zhong decided to stop while he was ahead. Lin Mo took out his tier-five treasure with a resolute expression. For some reason, he bit his fingertip and a drop of blood dripped into the cauldron. A mysterious air current surged over. It was as if the world was divided into yin and yang. At the same time, an unknown power connected the giant black cauldron and Lin Mo together. One sentence emerged in his mind. ¡®Xuanming Cauldron.¡¯ The cauldron began shaking non-stop in mid-air. The drop of blood spun around inside, but it did not sink. Meanwhile, the tier-five magic treasure was being pulled by the mysterious power. It fell continuously. Following that, a spiritual light eroded. Then, it became dimmer and dimmer. Lin Mo felt like he could completely control the cauldron. It was not hard at all. The god-devouring body had reacted once again. This time, the power was incomparably familiar. Anyway, the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, like a flower that had bloomed then rapidly withered. The entire process only took a few seconds. The spiritual energy that had dissipated was actually fused into the cauldron. Lin Mo seemed to understand what was going on. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± He used the same method again as he threw another treasure into the cauldron. This time, the treasure was not damaged at all. The Xuanming Cauldron would devour any weak energy. Back then, it felt the strong presence of the god-devouring body. Hence, there was a reaction. If a person wanted to actually activate the Xuanming Cauldron, they needed to be even more powerful than it. Otherwise, no matter how many items were thrown into it, the end results would always be black ashes or lumps. Furthermore, the spiritual energy would be completely consumed. Lin Mo had managed to unintentionally activate its potential earlier. It could be said that he was the rightful owner of the Xuanming Cauldron. Lin Mo said happily, ¡°This cauldron is tailor-made for me.¡± The Xuanming Cauldron no longer devours an item¡¯s spiritual energy. As long as a person that was suitable activated it, the items refined would become stronger instead. Chapter 42 - The Third Auction Chapter 42 The Third Auction Over the past few days, Lin Mo had been engrossed in his research on the Xuanming Cauldron. Seven or eight days had passed since the last auction. This meant a third auction was about to begin. ¡°When you collect items for auction, make sure you pay attention. See if you can discover anything special.¡± Lin Mo was worried that Wu Jin might be careless and miss out on some treasures. Hence, he gave a reminder. Wu Jin scratched his head and suddenly remembered something. ¡°Young master, now that you mention it, there is an item.¡± He looked a little conflicted, not knowing whether his action was right or wrong. Nonetheless, he took out a martial arts book and handed it to Lin Mo. ¡°Golden Shield Art.¡± Lin Mo took a look and thought that it was incomparably exquisite. If an individual could cultivate this technique, they would gain a great amount of power. Just as Lin Mo was getting excited, the book suddenly disappeared. It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. Wu Jin laughed bitterly. ¡°That¡¯s right. This martial art book is incomplete.¡± Lin Mo was amazed by Wu Jin¡¯s intellect. He had no interest in cultivation, yet, he knew the power of this cultivation technique. Even if it was incomplete, this book still possessed the power of a low-grade tier five cultivation technique. The book lacked the first half of its cultivation technique. There was only the second half. Thus, it was difficult for Lin Mo to even start. Cultivation methods all started from the shallow to the deep. If the second half was missing, one could still learn the basics of a particular technique. Furthermore, if they were capable, they could even extrapolate the second half. There might be some differences, but it would not matter. However, nobody was able to do the opposite. The first half would also contain a mental cultivation method which was the most important. Without mental cultivation, it would be easy for an individual to go berserk. Basically, the two most important things were missing, which meant this martial art could not be cultivated and could only be used for research. For that reason, the owner decided to auction it off. Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°What a pity.¡± His reaction made Wu Jin feel a little apprehensive. ¡°Young master, did I make a mistake?¡± He was worried that the martial arts book might not be sold. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so anxious. Someone with high attainments in martial arts might be interested in this.¡± Lin Mo decided to put up this incomplete book for auction. If it was sold, he could obtain something good from the return system. Besides, the worst-case scenario was that he would lose some mere spirit stones. ¡°We receive auction items every day. Many of them are of high quality. Young master, why don¡¯t you take a look?¡± Lin Mo looked at the items that Wu Jin had presented. He was clearly very satisfied. In total, four items would be auctioned tonight. ¡°Young master, don¡¯t worry. The number of attendants won¡¯t matter. I will definitely make the place lively.¡± Of course, Lin Mo believed in Wu Jin¡¯s ability. He smiled and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Soon, it was nighttime. Qingyang City was just as lively. After all, there were some transactions that could only be done at night. In fact, one could even argue that it was even more lively than during the day. The sun had just set when the auction house opened its doors. People were pouring in. Many guests were gathered and the place was bustling ¡°As far as I could remember, this auction house was about to close down but now, it¡¯s the opposite. What happened?¡± ¡°Yeah, the owner was rude and had offended many people. That¡¯s why there were not many patrons.¡± When the locals heard this, they immediately knew these people were from out of town. ¡°I can tell that you have just entered the city.¡± The visitor nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right. This auction house was about to be closed. However, a foreigner took over. He has an extraordinary background and possesses many good things. It resulted in the current situation.¡± Qingyang City was strategically located geographically. Many people would have to pass through this place to go to other large cities or engage in trades. Naturally, the population of this city was very high. Travelers would not spend much time in each city, but they would look for whatever opportunities available. Usually, they would only patronize the imperial family¡¯s auction house. In Qingyang City, Lin Mo¡¯s auction house was one of those that would provide high-quality items at a low price. Obviously, people would choose to visit his auction house over the others. Moreover, Lin Mo¡¯s escapade caught many people¡¯s interest. ¡°I¡¯ll have to take a good look.¡± ¡°I might have missed the first two auctions but I managed to attend this one. Who knows, I could get something good.¡± There was still some time before the auction and the venue was almost full. As usual, the Huang Sisters, Du Wan, and Wang Qing were present. Lin Mo scanned the entire area. ¡°Strange.¡± Wu Jin could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t see anyone from the Miao family.¡± Lin Mo recalled the past events with Miao Yan. The latter bought a tier four demonic beast with fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones. With his narrow-minded personality, he should have come looking for trouble. Chapter 43 - Versailles Lin Mo Chapter 43 Versailles Lin Mo There was definitely something fishy going on. The absence of the Miao family made Lin Mo even more suspicious. Obviously, Miao Yan was not someone who would easily let go of his hatred. He was definitely plotting something. After two auctions, Lin Mo had become quite familiar with most of the locals in Qingyang City such as Du Wan and Wang Qing. He had also visited both of their families. As long as the other party had no ill intentions, Lin Mo would not do anything to offend them. As for the unfamiliar faces, they should be visitors from other places. The number of patrons this time was several times more than the previous auctions. It was very lively. Wu Jin stepped onto the stage and the volume gradually decreased. ¡°The first item is a tier 5 top-grade Breathing Pill. Starting price is 7,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Tier five top-grade pills were rarely seen in Qingyang City. No one expected the first item to be so good. This also meant the subsequent items would be better. The crowd instantly caused an uproar. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about this auction house in Qingyang City. The owner has a mysterious background and he owns powerful items. After seeing things with my own eyes, I¡¯m not disappointed at all.¡± ¡°This auction house is quite big. The first item is a Breathing Pill, so the next would be even better. They must have at least a tier 6 item.¡± ¡°The starting price of the Breathing Pill is only 7,000 low-grade spirit stones. Something like this would never happen in the royal auction house. Over there, it would cost at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. It¡¯s true that this place provides high-quality items at a low price.¡± ¡°That pill could help any cultivator become stronger physically, especially for those below level 4. In fact, one might even be able to have a breakthrough.¡± Many people knew the value of the Breathing Pill. It was very promising and would be of great use in battles. If used well, it could even be considered a trump card. Wang Qing recalled his father¡¯s warning to stay away from Lin Mo, but he was very curious about the latter. They looked about the same age. Was Lin Mo really as powerful as his father claimed? Initially, Wang Qing had some doubts. However, when he saw the Breathing Pill, his doubts were erased. ¡°Looks like what father said is true.¡± When Du Wan heard this, he could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s true?¡± These juniors needed the Breathing Pill to strengthen their bodies. Their strength was still insufficient. If they could obtain the pill, they could reduce the danger when battling in spirit realms and improve their cultivation. Needless to say, the pill was extremely useful. Yet, Lin Mo was willing to auction it off. This meant he had a lot of such pills, or he had already broken through the fourth level. Basically, Lin Mo no longer needed the pill. Still, the Breathing Pill was not that easy to be refined. Very few people in Qingyang City were capable of such a feat. Wang Qing was truly intrigued. ¡°We¡¯re about the same age as him, but why is our cultivation level so different? If he kept going at this speed, it would be impossible for us to catch up.¡± Wang Qing¡¯s gaze was filled with admiration. On the other hand, Du Wan was not surprised. He could roughly guess Lin Mo¡¯s strength. Du Wan replied, ¡°There¡¯s no point in comparing. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± The others thought of the same thing. They could only guess about Lin Mo¡¯s true strength. Anyway, the Breathing Pill was really pointless for Lin Mo. There was no reason for him to keep it. More importantly, no one knew about Lin Mo¡¯s return system. Not only would he be able to earn spirit stones by selling the pill, but he would also be able to obtain something better. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Wang Qing quickly settled down. He might not be able to compete with Lin Mo, but he still had a chance against the other members of the four great clans. So, he immediately shouted, ¡°10,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Du Wan also wanted to bid. However, his family mainly focused on beast taming. Therefore, this pill was dispensable to him. It would be better for him to sit out this round. The others would definitely need it more. ¡°15,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°20,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Others competed with Wang Qing. Unfortunately for them, the Wang family was rich and powerful. There was no contest. In the end, the Breathing Pill was bought by Wang Qing for twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 5 top-grade Breathing Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 500 times return!) [ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade medicinal pill, Profound Breathing Pill! ] Upon hearing the system¡¯s notification, Lin Mo was somewhat disappointed. Previously, the reward would be one grade higher but this time, it was the same. The Profound Breathing Pill was only a slightly enhanced version. It might be useful for others, but not for Lin Mo. He might as well sell it. If the others knew what Lin Mo was thinking, they would turn red from jealousy. After all, a tier five top-grade pill was very hard to come by. Yet, Lin Mo was actually disdained to obtain it. Fortunately, there was no concept of Versailles (TN: A symbol of the absolute monarchy system). Otherwise, Lin Mo would definitely be ranked at the top. Chapter 44 - The Auction Continues Chapter 44 The Auction Continues Lin Mo waved his hand at Wu Jin, telling him there was another item to be auctioned. Wu Jin had no recollection of the extra item and felt that it was strange, but he did not say anything. ¡°Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have added another item to the auction. It¡¯s a tier 5 top-grade medicinal pill, Profound Breathing Pill. Starting price is 9,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± A Profound Breathing Pill! Obviously, it was even better than the Breathing Pill. Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. They looked determined. This made Wang Qing feel like he had made the wrong decision. If he had known that the Profound Breathing Pill existed, he definitely would not have bought the Breathing Pill. ¡°10,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°12,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Du Wan and the Huang sisters started bidding. Clearly, they had the same thoughts and wanted the Profound Breathing Pill. The pill was very important to them. On the other hand, Lin Mo was indifferent. After all, his cultivation level was far higher than what the Profound Breathing Pill could offer. Some people realized this and were shocked. The price had soared to eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones and the Huang sisters began to look hesitant. Huang Zhiyun wanted to continue bidding, but she was stopped by Huang Zhirou. She explained, ¡°The price is a little high now. There are still a few more items to be auctioned. Perhaps there will be something better. We can skip this pill.¡± After giving it some thought, Huang Zhiyun agreed. The Huang sisters stopped bidding. Naturally, normal people were no match for Du Wan. In the end, the medicinal pill was bought by him for twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Since this item was a reward by the system, Lin Mo did not gain anything. Still, he did earn a large number of spirit stones. No doubt, it was a profit. ¡°The third item to be auctioned is a tier 4 low-grade martial art, Shattered Star Fist. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Although it was only a tier 4 low-grade martial art, its destructive power was quite rare. As such, it had aroused the interest of some people. On the other hand, Lin Mo did not cultivate this technique because it was too fierce and did not match his style. Lin Mo¡¯s main interest was sword arts. There was no need for him to cultivate fist art. It would be too much. He knew his limits. For most cultivators, they were empty-handed. It was very difficult for them to find a suitable magic treasure. Buying a top-grade magic treasure required a large number of spirit stones. So, cultivating a fist technique was the next best option. ¡°6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Lin Mo noticed that Du Wan and Wang Qing were also bidding. However, the Huang sisters who usually bid on martial arts did not. ¡°Looks like they don¡¯t just bid on any martial arts.¡± According to Lin Mo¡¯s observation, the Huang sisters liked to collect various martial arts and cultivation techniques. He did not expect them to actually be picky. Nevertheless, it was not strange. There were tons of martial arts and cultivation techniques in this world. No matter how rich they were, It would be impossible for them to collect everything Initially, Lin Mo thought they might be interested in the ¡°Golden Shield Art¡± but now, he was a little apprehensive. As for the others, he had not observed them too much and did not know if they would take a fancy to an incomplete martial arts manual. Lin Mo had to successfully auction it off before he could receive the system¡¯s reward. No one expected an unknown middle-aged man to win the bid for the ¡°Shattered Star Fist¡±. Based on his appearance, he seemed to be from a foreign country. Lin Mo did not recognize him, but the man emitted quite an extraordinary aura. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 low-grade martial art, Shattered Star Fist. ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times return! ] [ Obtained a tier 5 top-grade martial art, Shattered Star Dragon Fist! ] Just from the name alone, it sounded rather amazing. If Lin Mo was not focusing on sword arts, he would certainly be very interested in cultivating this technique. Regardless, he decided to keep the martial art for now. Perhaps it would be useful in the future. ¡°The fourth item up for auction is a tier 4 middle-grade Aconitum Inner Core Pill. Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°That¡¯s a good item! An aconitum snake is extremely poisonous. Hence, its inner core has a powerful resistance effect. Most poisons can be cured by consuming that pill.¡± ¡°My brother was accidentally stung by a black scorpion. He died because there was no suitable medicine to treat his wounds. Such an unfortunate event would not have happened if he had that pill.¡± There were many highly toxic demonic beasts and hazards in the forest. One slight mistake and it would be fatal. In fact, it was almost inevitable. Having the Aconitum Inner Core Pill was like having an extra life. A person would feel much more at ease by having it than not. Everyone knew the value of that pill. Thus, the bids were especially intense. ¡°7,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°8,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Most of the bidders were foreign cultivators, mercenaries, and so on. They had traveled far and wide all year round. These medicinal pills were necessary as they often face dangers. On the contrary, the locals, especially those who came from powerful families, did not bid. Their clans could provide them with such resources by themselves. Besides, they did not need to risk their lives for resources as they could just purchase them with spirit stones. It was one of the perks of being rich. From this, one could clearly see the difference between an ordinary person and someone who came from a rich family. A regular person stood no chance against a powerful clan. Ironically, for this reason, more people were bidding. The price was soaring but not at a terrifying speed like the previous few items. After all, normal people would not casually raise the price up to tens of thousands. As a result, the Aconitum Inner Core Pill was bought by a foreign expert. At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 middle-grade Aconitum Inner Core Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 500 times return! ] [ Acquired a tier 6 low-grade Gold-striped Snake Inner Pill! ] Chapter 45 - The Huang Sisters Chapter 45 The Huang Sisters It had been some time and Lin Mo felt that he had a general understanding of the auction return system. Generally speaking, the system would reward items of the same nature as those that were auctioned off. For example, if he auctioned off a medical pill, he would get back something of similar nature. Thus, Lin Mo was not surprised when he obtained the Gold-striped Snake Inner Pill. Anyway, the Gold-striped Snake Inner Pill was stronger than the Aconitum Inner Core Pill. The former also had better effects. There was nothing strange as the two pills were of different grades. Lin Mo decided to keep the Gold-striped Snake Inner Pill for rainy days. The time had come for the auction¡¯s climax. Everyone had looks of anticipation on their faces. They were curious about the last item. There were already tier four and five items of different varieties. Each of them had their own use and were extremely valuable. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about this auction house. Apparently, it has a lot of good items. At first, I did not believe the rumors but now, I can say this trip was definitely worth it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The items are of high quality and the starting price is also the cheapest.¡± The locals overheard this and felt honored. They could not help but interject, ¡°You guys came at the right time. The first two rounds had a lot of good things as well.¡± ¡°In most cases, the best item is kept for last. The finale should be spectacular.¡± ¡°Yea, I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be disappointed.¡± Just as the crowd was busy discussing, Wu Jin finally took out the fifth item. ¡°The fifth item to be auctioned is a tier 5 low-grade incomplete version of the Golden Shield Art. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Even if it was an incomplete version of a martial art technique, the starting price had never been this low. The patrons thought that they heard wrong and became skeptical. ¡°No way, the starting price is only 5,000 low-grade spirit stones?It¡¯s even a tier 5 martial art.¡± ¡°The price is almost too good to be true.¡± Some people thought they had come across a great bargain. However, quite a few people felt that something was amiss. Wu Jin continued speaking, ¡°The missing part of this technique is the first half. It would be difficult to cultivate for most people. That¡¯s why the price is low. Everyone, feel free to make your own decision. There won¡¯t be any refunds once an item is sold. Naturally, Wu Jin had to make things clear so the auction house would not suffer future backlashes. Prevention was better than cure. It was not worth going through unnecessary trouble. Everyone¡¯s excitement gradually faded. They said with disappointment, ¡°I knew it. There was no way a tier 5 cultivation technique would be so cheap.¡± ¡°The owner of this auction house is not stupid. It may be cheap, but it¡¯s not free.¡± A majority of people lost interest. ¡°What a pity. Only a brilliant person would be able to cultivate this technique.¡± ¡°It wouldn¡¯t matter as much if the second half was missing. Once can still cultivate it. However, this is the opposite. There¡¯s no way to start and mental cultivation is extremely important.¡± It was true. The most crucial part was missing. Even those who were quite strong dared not take the risk. wen Everyone was a little disappointed by the final item. A low-grade tier five martial art was indeed precious. Unfortunately, it had the most fatal flaw. There was no use since it could not be cultivated. ¡°It¡¯s not completely useless. In fact, it¡¯s suitable for those from aristocratic families. Only they have a shot at cultivating it.¡± ¡°True, but it won¡¯t be easy.¡± Upon hearing everyone¡¯s words, Lin Mo became a little worried. What if he failed to sell this cultivation technique? He turned his head and looked at the Huang sisters. Unexpectedly, their gazes were exceptionally fiery. Lin Mo instantly felt relieved. With them around, this cultivation technique would most likely be sold. It did not matter even if the price was low. Lin Mo only cared about the reward he would get from the system. ¡°6,500 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°7,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± A couple of shouts could be heard. Lin Mo was quite surprised. A few people were actually interested in this cultivation technique. The price did not instantly soar, but it was still increasing steadily. Towards the end, the participants became fewer and fewer. They probably felt like it was not worth wasting so many spirit stones on such a dicey martial art technique. After a while, only Huang Zhiyun and a foreign expert were left calling out the prices. The foreign expert was fat and had a round figure. From afar, he looked like a balloon. His appearance was simple and amiable, but he gave off a murderous aura. He did not look like a person that should be trifled with. In any case, the Huang family had a deep foundation and they were locals. Obviously, they had the advantage. As the price continued to rise, the foreign expert snorted coldly. ¡°Little brat, what are you even doing here? Go home and drink your milk. Even if you get this cultivation technique, it would be useless. With your current level and strength, you won¡¯t be able to cultivate it at all. This technique is not suitable for little girls!¡± Chapter 46 - The Scorpion on the Wanted list. Are You Planning to Snatch It in the Open? Chapter 46 The Scorpion on the Wanted list. Are You Planning to Snatch It in the Open? These words were quite rude. The Huang sisters were shy girls. Their snow-white cheeks were flushed red. They were angry like a light pink plum blooming in the snow. Huang Zhiyun was quick-tempered. She immediately stood up from her chair. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± The man glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Huang Zhiyun was so angry that her body trembled. She almost rushed forward to find someone to argue with, but she was stopped by Huang Zhirou. ¡°Could it be that the spirit stones can¡¯t compete with us, so she wants to use her lip service? It was really laughable, she spoke gently. She sat there like a demure magnolia, but her words were like a prickly cactus. It could be said that she had hit the nail on the head. The man¡¯s face immediately darkened. It was obvious that he had been hit on the spot. Huang Zhiyun seemed to have found her confidence. She made a face. ¡°That¡¯s right. Whoever offers the highest price will be able to get it. Even if we don¡¯t know how, what can we do? It¡¯s not bad for it to be placed at home.¡± The man¡¯s face turned pale from the words of the two sisters. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°That wretched girl is quite sharp-tongued.¡± He clenched his fists tightly, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and looked around. After a moment, he revealed a sinister smile. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then don¡¯t blame me for destroying the flowers. You¡¯re still young and don¡¯t know manners. I¡¯ll teach you a lesson on behalf of the elders in your clan!¡± From what he said, he wanted to snatch the incomplete ¡®Golden Dipper Art¡¯. Huang Zhiyun sensed a hint of danger and immediately put on a vigilant expression. The others also had a different expression when they heard that. ¡°No way. Is there anyone who would snatch things when they can¡¯t buy anything these days?¡± It was not uncommon for people to kill others for treasures. It was the same for the auction house. Some people had auctioned off precious treasures, and on their way back, they encountered incidents where others intercepted and snatched their treasures. However, very few people would openly take action in the auction house. Moreover, this was still Qingyang City, and it was not like the village that Lin Mo had stayed in before. In a small place like that, even if they caused an uproar in the auction house, it would not be a big deal. However, anyone who provoked them here would easily alert the city guards. It would cause a big problem if they were expelled. They might even be forever denied entry into Qingyang City. ¡°He dared to offend the Huang clan? Isn¡¯t he afraid that the Huang clan will find trouble with him? Moreover, the city guards aren¡¯t existences to be trifled with.¡± Most people thought that the man was spouting vicious words. Even Huang Zhiyun thought so. ¡°Who do you think you are to teach us a lesson? Do you believe that I¡¯ll¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, a surge of immense force came over, carrying with it the power to uproot mountains and rivers. If Huang Zhirou had not been prepared and hurriedly pulled Huang Zhiyun away, she might have already been injured by the force. However, the people around him did not have such luck. With the man as the center, a huge stream of energy swept around like a tsunami, devouring everything that came its way. No one had expected him to suddenly make a move. The stream of energy landed heavily on his body, shifting hisinternal organs. In an instant, he was thrown more than ten meters away. Some of the people with decent cultivation took a few steps back and managed to narrowly avoid it. Only then did they manage to stabilize their bodies. ¡°Why are you like this? Aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting the Innocent?¡± The man revealed a bloodthirsty smile and glared at the Huang sisters. ¡°So what if I attack? Who can stop me?¡± The crowd was infuriated by his arrogance. ¡°Do you still regard the law in your eyes?¡± The facial features on his face began to shift. In the blink of an eye, he had changed into a different expression. The feeling of anger on everyone¡¯s faces gradually turned into fear. He let out a strange laugh that made people shudder. ¡°The law? I¡¯m the law!¡± Someone recognized him and screamed, ¡°Isn¡¯t that Scorpion on the wanted list?!¡± There was a bandit in the auction this time. No wonder he was so arrogant. After all, bandits rob people. This person¡¯s nickname was ¡°Scorpion¡±. He was ranked at the top of the wanted list in Qingyang City. He roamed around the surrounding towns and could be said to have committed all kinds of evil. Many people had heard of his great name, and they wanted nothing more than to bring this person to justice. However, this person was extremely cunning and had always been at large. No matter if it was Qingyang City or the mercenaries, they could not do anything to him. Who would have thought that he would suddenly appear here? Although Xie Zi was fat, he was clearly not weak. He was at least at the fourth level spirit gathering realm. ¡°What bad luck I have to meet a bandit in disguise while participating in the auction.¡± tas ¡°I heard that Xie Zi is very powerful. Even with so many people present, we¡¯re still not his match.¡± The crowd discussed animatedly, and fear appeared on their faces. Seeing this scene, Xie Zi was very pleased. ¡°Hurry up and hand over the ¡®Golden Shield Technique¡¯, or else don¡¯t blame me for starting a massacre!¡± Of course, he was not acting rashly. His identity was exposed in a moment of hot-hotheadedness. He had already observed previously that there was no expert in this auction house. The people participating in the auction this time were the younger generation of the four great clans. It was more than enough to deal with them. If they were elders or clan leaders, Xie Zi absolutely would not dare to expose himself. When he obtained the cultivation technique, he would immediately slip away. When the guards in the city arrived, they would be too late to stop him. ¡°Just give it to him. Just consider yourself unlucky. Don¡¯t lose your life because of an incomplete cultivation technique.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. In any case, there¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be bought with spirit stones. Why do we have to fight over this ¡®Golden Dipper technique?¡± Everyone began to persuade the Huang sisters. Chapter 47 - Who Dares to Make a Move in My Auction House? Shock Everyone! Chapter 47 Who Dares to Make a Move in My Auction House? Shock Everyone! After all, bandits were existences who kill without blinking. Even if Scorpion was vicious, if he escaped, the Huang clan would have a hard time finding him. The Huang sisters were obviously extremely unwilling, but they had no choice but to hand over the ¡®Golden Dipper Technique¡¯. However, at this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Who allowed you to be so impudent in my auction house?!¡± This short sentence was filled with an invisible domineering air as if he was the ruler of the world. It made one¡¯s heart tremble when they heard it. When the Huang sisters heard this sentence, it was as if they had found their pillar of support. The hand that they had just stretched out hurriedly withdrew. Xie Zi did not expect that someone would dare to provoke him, knowing his identity. His face instantly darkened. ¡°I think you¡¯re tired of living.¡± He did not sense the powerful aura from Lin Mo¡¯s body earlier. He only thought that his cultivation level was ordinary and did not take it to heart. At this moment, he looked around and did not see Lin Mo. He sneered and said, ¡°You¡¯re deliberately mystifying.¡± However, just as he finished speaking, an afterimage had already appeared behind him. There seemed to be a shadow of the Golden Dragon, chasing the wind and moon. It was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to catch it. ¡°Roar!¡± Everyone could faintly hear the roar of a dragon. Scorpion also felt an unprecedented pressure. The cold air behind him invaded him wave after wave, almost about to engulf his body. His body suddenly stiffened like a rusty machine. Even his movements became much slower. He turned around in disbelief, only to see a pair of unfathomable eyes. The shadow of death enveloped him completely. It was mixed with ice of a thousand years, freezing him to the point that he was shivering Every pore on his body was screaming crazily. This was the instinct of all humans when they were in danger. Scorpion was already filled with regret. Faced with such a powerful and terrifying aura, he did not even have the thought of resisting. Run! Run away from this place as soon as possible! ¡°I¡­¡± He only said one word. The breath he exhaled had ice crystals on it. In the next second, he could not speak as his tongue had already frozen. A light suddenly appeared in the air. In the next second, Scorpion¡¯s head rolled down, but there was no blood because all the blood in his body had long been frozen. Only a red mark could be seen in the middle of his neck. The incision was neat. His eyes were filled with fear and panic. No one knew what Scorpion wanted to say in the end. The entire process only lasted for a few breaths. Before everyone could even see how Lin Mo had attacked, he had already returned to his original form calmly. The Swimming Dragon Steps and Ice Soul Sword technique were indeed out of the ordinary. Lin Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. It took a long time for everyone to react. Looking at the scene of Scorpion¡¯s corpse, they could not help but sigh. ¡°It¡¯s really too tragic. His head was separated from his body, and he died without a complete corpse.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all his fault. He didn¡¯t even investigate clearly. Whose territory is this? He actually dared to make a move on the head of the supreme ruler.¡± The person who said this intentionally gave Lin Mo a flattery look. Xie Zi had the strength of a fourth level spirit gathering realm expert. Not only was Lin Mo able to instantly kill him in one move, no one was able to see clearly how he attacked. This was enough to prove that Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation was profound, far surpassing that of a fourth level spirit gathering realm expert. Such a kill was something that even a fifth or sixth level spirit gathering realm expert would find difficult to achieve. Xie Zi had been famous for many years and could be considered an experienced person. It would not be easy to kill him. ¡°Look at his corpse!¡± No one knew who shouted this, but everyone realized that Scorpion¡¯s corpse was already covered in a light blue crystal. It was as if he had been frozen. Even the surrounding temperature was frighteningly low. ¡°This should be caused by a special ability of the field master¡¯s sword technique. From the looks of it, it should be an extremely powerful ice attribute.¡± Scorpion¡¯s expression was extremely lifelike. He did not manage to close his eyes, maintaining the expression he had when he was still alive. The more everyone looked at him, the more shocked they became. Even they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. Such an incomparably sharp sword technique was able to kill with a single strike. It did not harm anyone in the surroundings at all. It could be seen just how precise Lin Mo¡¯s control over his sword technique was. It could even be said that he had reached the peak of perfection. ¡°Such a sword technique would not be able to be learned without many years of effort. It¡¯s truly profound.¡± The people around him had different opinions when they heard this. ¡°It¡¯s not just his sword technique. Have you noticed his movement? That¡¯s truly profound and unfathomable.¡± Only then did everyone remember that they had not seen clearly how Lin Mo had rushed over here and back. ¡°After hearing what you said, I didn¡¯t even see the movement of his sword clearly. He was just like a ghost. It was impressive!¡± ¡°What kind of movement technique is that? How come I¡¯ve never seen it before?¡± The crowd continued to discuss further. Only then did they realize that not a single person was able to see the entire process of Lin Mo¡¯s attack. Their hearts were filled with respect for Lin Mo. ¡°Although there was a small accident today, it¡¯s still considered satisfactory. The auction has ended, and everyone can leave. The next auction will be held in seven days. We¡¯ll be waiting for everyone then.¡± It was a pity that everyone was still in a state of shock, and did not notice what Lin Mo said, much less that he had turned around and left. At this moment, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding! Host has successfully bid for the incomplete ¡°Golden Shield Art¡±. ] [2,000 times return has been successfully triggered. ] [ Acquired low-grade tier 7 body tempering martial art, ¡°Golden Shield Art¡±! ] Lin Mo was instantly overjoyed. It was the complete version of the ¡°Golden Shield Art¡±. Its strength was at low-grade tier seven. It was indeed as he had expected. Only now did Lin Mo realize that there was another use for the auction return system! Chapter 48 - Thank You for Saving My Life. An Invitation from the Huang Sisters Chapter 48 Thank You for Saving My Life. An Invitation from the Huang Sisters For example, he did not need to auction off low-level martial arts to return to the system. As long as he had spirit stones, he would be able to obtain the complete version. For example, some parts of the powerful martial arts that were missing due to various factors could be obtained through the system. incomplete version, he would be able to obtain the complete version sooner or later. However, the problem now was that powerful high-ranked martial arts were difficult to obtain even if they were incomplete versions. He had only received the ¡°Golden Dipper Technique¡± by accident. Furthermore, the missing parts were extremely important. At the moment, he could not cultivate it. As such, his master had decided to sell it off, allowing Lin Mo to pick up some scraps. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Lin Mo to receive a remnant copy of a high-level powerful martial art. There were very few copies in circulation on the market, and even if there were, they would have been obtained by someone else long ago. Perhaps those aristocratic clans that specialized in martial arts might have collected a lot of solitary copies. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze moved around, and he already had some ideas in his mind. ¡°Master, this is the profit from today¡¯s auction.¡± Wu Jin¡¯s voice pulled Lin Mo back to reality, but he was not interested in the accounts at all. ¡°Oh right, I remember you mentioned before that the Huang clan studies martial arts?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s said that their clan has also collected a lot of martial arts techniques. Even if they can¡¯t cultivate it, they will use it for research. The Huang clan is the best at this. I heard that they even restored some isolated copies.¡± It had to be said that although Wu Jin¡¯s strength was average, he had a rare talent for gathering information. Lin Mo stroked his chin and said with a knowing expression, ¡°No wonder.¡± Previously, the Huang sisters had spared no effort in auctioning martial arts in the auction hall. Presumably, it was because of this. Moreover, they would definitely be present at every auction. Just as Lin Mo was thinking about what excuse he should use to pay a visit to the Huang clan, he did not expect the Huang sisters to take the initiative to come knocking on his door. Huang Zhirou bowed slightly. Her figure was like a willow branch swaying in the wind. She was like a fairy from the moon, appearing very gentle. ¡°Thank you very much, field owner Lin.¡± If it was not for Lin Mo making a move, perhaps there would not be anyone in the entire hall who could restrain Scorpion. Perhaps, the sisters might even get injured because of this. Losing the ¡°Golden Dipper Technique¡± was not a big deal. In any case, it was only an incomplete copy, so the two sisters would not feel sorry for the spirit stones. Losing the Huang clan¡¯s face would be a big deal. After all, it would not sound good if words of what happened got out. The Huang clan, one of bandit. Moreover, it had happened in the city. No matter how powerful Scorpion was, people would laugh at him. Huang Zhiyun¡¯s face was full of anger and could not bear it. She looked as if she wanted to whip Scorpion¡¯s corpse again. ¡°You were a little too ruthless earlier. You could leave Scorpion half alive and slowly torture him.¡± Huang Zhirou looked at her disapprovingly. ¡°What are you saying? He has helped us, and you all think that is too much?¡± Huang Zhiyun winked at Lin Mo. She was very playful and cute. It was strange. They were twins and they looked exactly the same. However, their personalities were vastly different. Looking at the interaction between the two sisters, Lin Mo waved his hand and said nonchalantly, ¡°This is what I should do. If you dare to make a move in my auction house, wouldn¡¯t that be a slap to my face?¡± After all, there was a robber in the auction house and he had stolen the items auctioned by the guests. If Scorpion really succeeded, it would be bad for the reputation of the auction house. It was likely that no guests would come back in the future. The Huang sisters also knew this logic. However, they still wanted to thank him. Other than being curious about Lin Mo¡¯s strength, they also wanted to thank him for the martial arts techniques that they had obtained from him. Even the quality of the incomplete ¡°Golden Shield Art¡± was extremely good. Huang Zhiyun was straightforward. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the movement technique earlier. I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± In fact, Lin Mo¡¯s sword technique earlier was shocking. However, the sisters were more focused on the movement technique. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flashed. ¡°It¡¯s not a good movement technique either. I just happened to come across it during my travels.¡± The sisters naturally knew that what Lin Mo said was not the truth. They had only met by chance, so it was natural for them to be on guard. However, they were even more interested in Lin Mo. After all, every time Lin Mo brought out a martial arts technique, it was extremely rare and unheard of. However, every single one of them was of high-quality. The two sisters who loved martial arts were always ready, and the other members of the Huang clan were also curious about Lin Mo. Coincidentally, after this incident, the two sisters had a better impression of Lin Mo. Huang Zhirou immediately said, ¡°I wonder if you¡¯re available. Our Huang clan also has many high quality martial arts techniques. We can share knowledge. It can also be considered as our thanks to you for saving us.¡± The Huang clan had many secret manuals in their collection. It was not something that ordinary people could easily see. Hence, this invitation was extremely rare. Lin Mo was just thinking of a reason and an excuse to visit the Huang clan. In the end, Huang Zhirou threw an olive branch at him. So, he immediately agreed. The two sisters took the incomplete copy of the ¡°Golden Shield Art¡± and left in satisfaction. After the people in the auction hall had left, Lin Mo entered the secret room and instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him. Previously, when he had killed Xie Zi, he had gained quite a bit of enlightenment. There was a faint flow of true energy within his body. However, there were too many people at that time, so he had no choice but to temporarily suppress it. Now that there was no one around, that true energy had also completely erupted. It was like a spring, striking at the major acupoints in Lin Mo¡¯s body one after another. Chapter 49 - Visit the Huang Clan and Fight Against the Huang Zhiyun Sisters Chapter 49 Visit the Huang Clan and Fight Against the Huang Zhiyun Sisters As true energy circulated throughout his body, Lin Mo felt as if there was an endless amount of power. Every pore of his body was filled with spiritual energy. Lin Mo could feel that his strength was about to reach the peak of fourth stage spirit gathering realm. He was only one opportunity away from advancing. However, he was not in a hurry to break through. After all, laying a solid foundation was the most important now. At the same time, he began to cultivate the complete version of the Golden Shield Art. Golden characters appeared in mid-air, and Lin Mo felt as if he had entered a mysterious world. The power of the complete version of the Golden Shield Art was truly beyond his imagination. After completing the missing parts, the aura it emitted was indestructible. No external force could stop it. At first glance, those movements were very simple, but upon closer inspection, they contained endless profoundness. This was an extremely powerful body tempering martial art! According to the records in the Golden Dipper Technique, the spiritual energy in the major acupoints around Lin Mo¡¯s body had all surged into his meridians, continuously nourishing and then returning to his dantian. The spiritual energy flowed on within the meridians of the tianhui acupoint, the lingji acupoint, and the baichi acupoint. He silently recited the mantra, simulating each and every move within the martial art. It was as if there was a person in his mind, displaying all of the moves in the Golden Dipper Technique. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as if a giant hammer had appeared out of thin air. It contained the power to split the sky and earth, hammering him a thousand times. The further he went, the more difficult the movements of the ¡°Golden Shield Art¡± were. It was simply not something that an ordinary person could achieve. Previously, Lin Mo was able to complete it easily, but later on, it was difficult for him to advance. The expansion of his meridians had stretched his entire body and the pain was simply unimaginable. Lin Mo did not make a single sound. Other than his pale face and sweat pouring down like rain, no one could guess how excruciating the pain he currently enduring was. He did not know how long this intense pain would last. Perhaps it was because he was used to it, Lin Mo felt that the pain that was biting into his bone marrow had lessened. This resulted in him feeling more comfortable learning the subsequent movements. Under the operation of the God Devouring Body, the pain became a little more bearable as if his entire body had been reborn. Golden spots of light surrounded his body, so much so that his entire body was covered in a layer of light. Along with the ¡°Golden Shield Mantra¡±, in the end, Lin Mo¡¯s body shone with a golden light as if he was a god cast out of pure gold. It made people around him prostrate themselves in worship. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud bang, Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of golden light shot out, shattering a rock that was half the height of a person. His body seemed to be filled with an endless amount of power. He did not need to rely on weapons or magic treasures. His two hands were the best weapons, and ordinary attacks were unable to cause any damage to his body as if they came with their own defensive armor. Sensing the changes happening in his body, Lin Mo could not help but sigh. At this rate, if he were to cultivate the Golden Shield Art to perfection, he would be able to use his physical body to withstand a full-strength attack from an expert of the same level! How heaven-defying was this? If he were to use a defensive type magic treasure, almost no one of the same level would be able to harm him. Lin Mo could not help but feel fortunate that he did not give up on this cultivation technique previously. Otherwise, he would have missed it. By the time he came out of seclusion, a few days had already passed. Recalling the agreement he had made with the Huang sisters previously, he immediately called for someone to send a letter to request for a visit. The Huang clan¡¯s head, Huang Qing, scrutinized Lin Mo and sensed that he was emitting an unusual aura. He smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ve long heard of your name. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation. I still have to thank you for your help earlier.¡± Huang Zhiyun was straightforward. ¡°You couldn¡¯t be contacted these few days. We thought that you wouldn¡¯t come.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I had an epiphany earlier, so I went into seclusion to cultivate. It took me a few days. There¡¯s no need to be polite, Elder Huang.¡± Seeing that Lin Mo was polite and was neither servile nor humble, Huang Qing had a good impression in his heart and expressed his understanding. ¡°Cultivation is naturally the most important. I see that you¡¯re young, so your cultivation should be pretty good. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know what realm you¡¯ve reached.¡± From the sisters¡¯ earlier description, he knew that Lin Mo was definitely hiding his strength. It was just that he did not know how much he had hidden. Huang Qing was a little curious, so he wanted to test him. Lin Mo was very polite and pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in his words. ¡°What are you saying, Elder Huang? I think your daughter is also young, but her strength isn¡¯t inferior to an ordinary man. I think it¡¯s because of Elder Huang¡¯s guidance.¡± With just one sentence, the three of them were satisfied and their faces expressed joy. At such a young age, he was already experienced in speaking and doing things. Huang Qing¡¯s face was filled with admiration and he could not help but sigh. It could be said that the young people nowadays were better than the older ones. He did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. ¡°I heard from Yun¡¯er and Rou¡¯er about your deeds. Your methods of subduing your enemies in the auction house were pretty good. I wonder if you would like to have a spar or two?¡± Lin Mo had also seen the movement technique of the Huang sisters. They were very strange and did not seem like ordinary techniques. Moreover, he wanted to cooperate with the Huang clan, so he naturally would not reject Huang Qing¡¯s request. The Huang sisters were also eager to spar. It could be seen that they were looking forward to it. Huang Qing set up a barrier at the side to prevent their battle from affecting the outside world. ¡°Let¡¯s make it clear. The duration of the spar is the burn of an incense stick. This is purely an exchange match. Don¡¯t go too far and don¡¯t hurt anyone.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Father. It¡¯s just that Brother Lin mustn¡¯t go easy on us. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be meaningless.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou stood opposite him. Neither of them made the first move as if they were waiting for an opportunity. A cool breeze blew through the air. The incense slowly burned, and a green leaf was blown into the air. In an instant, the wind rose, and two afterimages flashed past, attacking Lin Mo respectively. The speed was so fast that it was like chasing the wind and the moon. It seemed to have no pattern, but in fact, it contained a faint dao rhythm. Chapter 50 - Draw! Do You Want an Incomplete Martial Arts Technique? Chapter 50 Draw! Do You Want an Incomplete Martial Arts Technique? ¡°Brother Lin, you have to be careful!¡± The sisters¡¯ voices seemed to come from the distant horizon, carrying an ethereal feeling. However, in the next second, a slender figure appeared before their eyes. Fortunately, Lin Mo¡¯s reaction was quick enough to dodge it. However, just as he dodged Huang Zhiyun¡¯s attack, Huang Zhirou appeared and disappeared without a trace. The two of them could be said to have worked seamlessly together. In the midst of the battle, the Huang sisters had solemn expressions on their faces. Even their lively younger sister had become composed. Their movement was like a mirror, and it was impossible to distinguish the two of them. Their actions were in sync, and even their landing steps were the same. This kind of tacit understanding was an extremely troublesome existence for the enemy in battle. This also meant that Lin Mo was facing a double blow. This was because he could not find any loopholes in the sisters¡¯ attacks. The older sister was meticulous and responsible for defense, while the younger sister was a person who abhorred evil and was suitable for offense. Huang Zhiyun leaped and there were only afterimages in the air. ¡°Time¡¯s up!¡± The three of them stopped. They were too engrossed in the match that they did not notice that the incense stick had already burned out. There was only a small portion left in the incense burner, and then the flame was completely extinguished. It was a draw, and neither side had decided the victor. ¡°Clap clap clap.¡± Applause rang out, and Huang Qing¡¯s face revealed a look of admiration. ¡°Today, I¡¯ve really broadened my horizons. There are very few people who can withstand the encirclement and suppression of the two sisters for such a long time.¡± In the match earlier, unless it was someone with Huang Qing¡¯s cultivation level, if it was an ordinary person, forget about seeing their movements clearly. They would not even know how they had attacked. The two sisters were also extremely astonished. Although their strength was not the strongest, in terms of movement techniques and speed, no one could compare to them. Lin Mo was able to fight against them, which was enough to showcase his strength. Huang Zhiyun said, ¡°Brother Lin, your strength isn¡¯t bad, but we didn¡¯t use our full strength.¡± However, what they did not know was that Lin Mo was the same, holding back some of his strength. Therefore, even if the two sisters used their full strength, he still had the confidence to suppress them. After all, he had a favor to ask. Therefore, he did not want to be in the limelight to avoid causing more trouble. However, if he were to lose, it would be unavoidable for the Huang clan to look down on him. This was why he had intentionally created a draw. Even so, Lin Mo was deeply moved. In the previous match, the two sisters had a good understanding of each other. Furthermore, they were telepathically connected. He boldly asked, ¡°I see that your moves are quite unique. I¡¯ve never seen it before. You two shouldn¡¯t be training in martial arts like movement techniques or qinggong, right?¡± The two sisters looked at each other. They did not expect Lin Mo¡¯s eyes to be so sharp, to be able to tell from the short exchange earlier. Huang Zhirou readily admitted, ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Lin has good eyesight. What we¡¯re practicing is a kind of formation that can be formed by two people.¡± This formation was extremely special, and it was something that the Huang clan had researched for a long time. It could be said to be a unique secret manual. Only high-level formation masters could complete the formation. The sisters could fight if they were to encounter a sixth level spirit gathering realm powerhouse. Clearly, Huang Qing was a formation master. His footwork was similar to Lin Mo¡¯s ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡±, which could only be used to increase speed and agility in battle. On the other hand, the formation that the two sisters had grasped was able to attack and defend in battle, just like in the previous battle. Lin Mo had only made a guess. Even he was unable to see through him. Thus, Elder Huang was extremely powerful. After listening to the sisters¡¯ explanation, Lin Mo praised, ¡°It¡¯s indeed exquisite beyond compare. I¡¯m truly impressed.¡± ¡°You¡¯re flattering me. Brother Lin¡¯s strength cannot be underestimated either.¡± Huang Qing had also seen through Lin Mo¡¯s strength and could not help but praise him in his heart. However, he did not know that Lin Mo had not used all of his strength and that he was the mastermind behind the mysterious auction house. Instantly, he wanted to befriend him. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s another matter that I came to visit today. I heard that the Huang clan has a lot of martial arts manuals. I¡¯d like to ask for some of the more powerful incomplete martial arts manuals.¡± What? Huang Qing and the sisters were a little confused. It was not like there were no people who came to the Huang clan to ask for martial arts manuals in the past. However, they had rejected most requests. After all, the Huang clan was not doing charity. However, this was the first time someone like Lin Mo had asked for an incomplete cultivation manual. As everyone knew, it was extremely difficult to learn an incomplete cultivation manual. So what if one was powerful? After all, it was not a complete version, and its lethality could not even be compared to those of a lower rank. There were even some that could not be learned at all and could only be used for research or collection purposes. ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t let the Elder Huang give it for free. I¡¯m willing to use a high-level movement technique to exchange for it.¡± Lin Mo passed the ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡± to Huang Qing. However, after a few rough glances, Huang Qing knew that this cultivation technique was extremely powerful. His eyes immediately lit up. He could not wait to study it. In the end, he still had to take Lin Mo into consideration, so he endured it. This was also Lin Mo¡¯s strongest martial art technique. He was already familiar with this cultivation technique and had cultivated it to perfection, so he did not need it at all. On the other hand, the ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡± was a top-grade seventh rank martial art technique. It would be extremely attractive to Huang Qing, who was a martial arts fanatic. ¡°Are you really willing to exchange this seventh grade martial art for the incomplete manual? Have you thought about it? Once you exchange it, there¡¯s no room for you to go back on your words,¡± Huang Qing could not help but ask. After all, the ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡± was extremely valuable, and it was a seventh grade cultivation technique. No matter how powerful the incomplete manual was, it could not be compared to it. He did not know what Lin Mo was thinking to making this exchange. Could it be that he did not know its value? ¡°I¡¯m willing. There are some things that Elder Huang doesn¡¯t know. I like to collect incomplete manuals for research or collection. I hope that Elder Huang is willing to part with it.¡± These words were a little strange, but there were some people who had unique fetishes. Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s affirmative words, Huang Qing started to hesitate. He was naturally very moved by the Swimming Dragon Steps. However, this transaction was too unfair to Lin Mo, and as the elder of the Huang clan, he could not take advantage of him. Chapter 51 - Broken Cloud Sword Manual! The So-Called Art, Dao, Magic, and Formation Chapter 51 Broken Cloud Sword Manual! The So-Called Art, Dao, Magic, and Formation Huang Qing also wanted to use a complete cultivation technique of the same level to exchange for it, but it was not suitable for Lin Mo to cultivate. Even if he exchanged it, it would be of no use. It was a secret technique belonging to the Huang clan, and naturally, it was impossible for him to give it to an outsider. The two sisters seemed to have seen through Huang Qing¡¯s concerns. ¡°Father, doesn¡¯t our clan have a seventh-level sword technique? I think it¡¯s suitable for Brother Lin. He¡¯s also good at sword technique.¡± Hearing Huang Zhiyun¡¯s words, Huang Qing recalled that the Huang clan did indeed have a seventh-level sword technique. It was a low-grade and incomplete manual. He said hesitantly, ¡°I have a powerful sword manual called Broken Cloud. However, it¡¯s incomplete. There are only four moves in it. According to my deduction, there are at least nine moves in the complete version of this sword manual.¡± Huang Qing continued, ¡°The incomplete manual is already at the seventh-level. If it¡¯s a complete manual, it would probably have the strength of the eighth-level. However, I¡¯ve been studying it for a long time and haven¡¯t been able to find the secret within. I have no choice but to leave it aside.¡± When he had first obtained it, he had discovered that the destructive power of this sword manual was immense. The first four moves already possessed the might to destroy the heavens and earth. Even after studying it for a long time, he was still unable to deduce the next moves. However, Huang Qing estimated that there should still be five moves left. In addition, he was not very good at the dao of sword technique to begin with. So, as time passed, he had lost interest in it. Subsequently, he had stopped cultivating it. If he had not heard Huang Zhiyun mention it, he had almost forgotten about this matter. ¡°If you think it¡¯s possible, then let¡¯s exchange.¡± Lin Mo did not feel to be on the disadvantaged side. He was even secretly happy that with the system in hand, he could completely restore this cultivation technique. From Huang Qing¡¯s words, it was not hard to tell that this sword manual was very powerful. It was a pity that it was an incomplete version, so even if he succeeded in learning it, he would not be able to fully utilize it. Otherwise, if it was a complete version, Huang Qing might not be able to bear to part with it. Lin Mo said without batting an eyelid, ¡°No problem.¡± Seeing that Lin Mo was determined to make the exchange, Huang Qing did not stop him. Both parties could be said to be extremely satisfied with this transaction. Huang Qing looked at the Swimming Dragon Steps in his hand. This was a seventh-level cultivation technique and coupled with the formation that corresponded with it, he believed that it would be able to bring out his potential. ¡°Mr. Lin is a straightforward person. I, Huang Qing, want to be friends with you.¡± In addition, the cultivation technique that the two sisters had obtained from Lin Mo¡¯s auction house were all extraordinary items. Huang Qing had the intention to build a good relationship with Lin Mo. ¡°I believe Mr. Lin saw it in the battle earlier. Not only can ordinary martial arts be used to defeat the enemy, but they can also be divided into a few major categories such as spells, dao, magic, and formations.¡± When Lin Mo heard this, his interest was immediately piqued. After all, ever since he came to this world, although he had a general understanding of the cultivation system here, the complexity of cultivation was not something that could be explained in just a few words. Moreover, the original owner¡¯s cultivation level was mediocre. There was no one to teach him, nor did he understand the relevant knowledge. He had always followed a step-by-step procedure. However, cultivation was more difficult than he had imagined. In addition to Lin Mo¡¯s special physique, he had to carefully study it. There were many aspects that he had yet to touch on. It was all because of his monstrous talent that he was able to cultivate to this stage. However, relying on this alone was not enough. He needed to lay a solid foundation. Only then would he have the ability to climb to the peak in the future. Otherwise, there would be great danger waiting for him and a possibility that he might go berserk. ¡°I¡¯d like to hear the details.¡± Huang Qing was not stingy with his knowledge. In any case, even if he did not say it now, with Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation and fortuitous encounters, he would find out sooner or later. It would be better to tell him in advance. He gave a general introduction, but Lin Mo was able to grasp it entirely. Things like the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡± and the ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡± should all be under the law. Previously, when he fought with the two sisters, they had revealed that it was a formation. Their father, the elder of the Huang clan, should be a high-level formation master. The beast taming technique that Du Wan¡¯s father had used and the ability to refine the bloodline of the demon beasts should be part of the ¡°technique¡±. Up till now, Lin Mo had yet to see anyone who could truly grasp the ¡°dao¡±, and Huang Qing had not explicitly stated this. However, according to his speculation, his God Devouring Body might contain the dao. Ordinary cultivators had limited strength and energy, and they would usually choose one of them to cultivate. For example, the four great clans specialized in this dao. It was not because there were not people who could cultivate both at the same time, but there were only a few. Those who cultivated all three were even rarer. There were almost no people who could master all of them. However, Lin Mo¡¯s situation was extremely special. With the system and the God Devouring Body effects, he might be able to control all four at the same time. After a round of conversation, the sky had already turned dark. Huang Qing had even given Lin Mo a lot of pills, but he did not lack any of them. It was just that he could not refuse them, so he accepted them. This trip to the Huang clan was not in vain. The ¡°Swimming Dragon Steps¡± was already useless to Lin Mo, but he had exchanged it with the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡± which had huge potential. At the same time, he had also obtained a lot of useful information. It could be said that he had benefited a lot. At the same time, Wu Jin also welcomed a special guest to the auction house. It was the butler Uncle Zhang from the Royal Family Auction House whom Lin Mo had met once before. Seeing his arrival, Wu Jin was very surprised. A warm smile appeared on his face. ¡°What brings Butler Zhang here?¡± Butler Zhang smiled and said, ¡°Is Mr. Lin here? I have something to ask him.¡± Wu Jin looked troubled. ¡°It¡¯s really unfortunate. He has gone to visit the Huang clan. If it¡¯s urgent, you may tell me instead.¡± Unexpectedly, Butler Zhang shook his head. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll wait here for him to come back.¡± Chapter 52 - The Martial Arts Competition. An Invitation from the Royal Family! Chapter 52 The Martial Arts Competition. An Invitation from the Royal Family! However, this wait lasted for more than half a day. After all, they were from the royal family¡¯s auction house, and it would not be good for Wu Jin to neglect them. It could be said that he was neither standing nor sitting. He wanted to find out what Uncle Zhang was up to. However, they were very tight-lipped and insisted that they had to see Lin Mo in person. When Lin Mo returned to the auction house, Wu Jin was so anxious that his mouth almost burst into flames. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally back. Otherwise, I¡¯d have sent someone to the Huang clan to look for you.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Wu Jin lowered his voice. ¡°Someone from the royal family is here. I don¡¯t know what it is, but they¡¯re very tight-lipped. I didn¡¯t manage to find out anything.¡± Lin Mo thought it was something big, so he waved his hand and dismissed the rest of the people. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept Butler Zhang waiting for so long.¡± Uncle Zhang did not care about this. His eyes were filled with a faint light. He could see that Lin Mo¡¯s aura was stronger than the last time he saw him. Although it was not obvious, he knew that Lin Mo¡¯s strength had increased recently. ¡°The owner of the auction house is busy. It¡¯s my fault for not handing over the invitation card in advance.¡± The two exchanged a few pleasantries before Lin Mo said, ¡°I wonder what business Butler Zhang has with me.¡± As the butler of the royal auction house, he was busy with matters. Lin Mo did not believe that Butler Zhang was here just to chat with him. As expected, Butler Zhang said with a smile, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s nothing much. I just want to invite the owner of the auction house to participate in the martial arts competition organized by the royal family.¡± After saying that, he handed over an invitation card. The complicated golden patterns were lined with silver, exuding a noble and imposing aura. There were even spiritual energy fluctuations emitting from it, and it was stamped with the seal of the royal family. Lin Mo received it. This was an invitation letter from the Imperial City, and the participants were young talents from various places. The royal family also controls Qingyang City. It could be said that the royal family¡¯s auction house was their eyes and ears, and they had a grasp of the situation in various places. Not only Lin Mo, but the younger generation of the big families had also received the invitation. For example, Du Wan, Wang Qing, Huang Zhiyun, Huang Zhirou, and Miao Yan. Previously, Lin Mo¡¯s name was not included in the royal family¡¯s invitation. After all, their intelligence network was everywhere. After an investigation, they found out that Lin Mo was merely an abandoned child of the Lin family, so he was not worth paying attention to at all. However, Lin Mo was like a dark horse, making a name for himself in Qingyang City at lightning speed. When the royal family auction house saw the strength Lin Mo displayed, they immediately reported it to the royal family. Only then did this invitation card appear in front of Lin Mo. ¡°What do you think, Mr. Lin?¡± Lin Mo replied with a smile, ¡°Such a grand event naturally cannot be missed.¡± To him, it was undoubtedly a great opportunity. The resources in Qingyang City were also limited. Sooner or later, it would not be able to satisfy his needs. It was better to go to a bigger place to take a look. He believed that there would be many opportunities waiting for him there. Previously, when he had obtained the Xuanming cauldron, Lin Mo could vaguely feel that he still had a lot of things he did not understand about this cauldron. There was more potential of God Devouring Body that he could tap on. He had to go further to discover the world. Moreover, if he wanted to maximize the use of the auction return system, he also needed to expand his horizons. The items returned now could no longer satisfy his needs. After sending Butler Zhang and the others away, Wu Jin came over. ¡°Why are they looking for you? Why are you being so mysterious?¡± Lin Mo handed over the invitation letter in his hand. ¡°The royal family has invited me to participate in the martial arts competition.¡± Wu Jin¡¯s eyes lit up. He picked up the invitation letter and flipped it over. He said excitedly, ¡°This is great! I heard that only the people from the four great families have received the invitation. It seems that Master is so powerful that even the royal family has noticed it. When the time comes, Master will beat everyone and become the winner.¡± Faced with Wu Jin¡¯s flattery, Lin Mo shook his head. He could not relax his expression. ¡°Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s so simple. Do you think that a martial arts competition is a small-scale competition? Moreover, it¡¯s held by the royal family. When the time comes, all the heroes will gather. There will be crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Who knows what experts will appear?¡± After all, it was a competition for the younger generation. Even if the older generation could not participate in it, the elites of the family would. Perhaps the Lin family would attend as well. At that time, if they saw him alive and well, who knew what they would think? Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth curled up into a playful smile. He suddenly looked forward to seeing such a scene. However, he did not dare to be careless. After all, there were so many experts. Who knew what would happen? It was better to be prepared. ¡°I¡¯ll leave the auction house to you for the next few days. I¡¯m going into closed-door cultivation to prepare for the martial arts competition.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master. Leave the chores to me. Just focus on your cultivation.¡± For some reason, Wu Jin had inexplicable confidence in Lin Mo. It was as if nothing was a problem as long as he was around. He would also be able to get first place in the martial arts competition. After Lin Mo gave his instructions, he prepared to go into seclusion to cultivate. He planned to first learn the first four moves of the Broken Cloud Sword Manual. As for the latter, he would wait until there was an opportunity to use the auction return system to complete the manual. This would be more beneficial to his cultivation. Chapter 53 - Wuying Mountain, Chased by the Miao Clan Chapter 53 Wuying Mountain, Chased by the Miao Clan This time, Lin Mo did not cultivate in the secret chamber of the auction house. In the northeast direction of Qingyang City, there was Wuying Mountain. Although it was abundant with spiritual energy, there were not many people there. This was because powerful demonic beasts linger in the inner mountain. The majority of the people were only active in the outer mountain. It just so happened that Lin Mo could use the place to cultivate the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡±. He could also try out its power. He felt that the space in the secret chamber of the auction house was too small hence he could not display its effects at all. Lin Mo had already felt this way before. The fog at Wuming Mountain was endless. The never-ending green mountain range was like a dragon. Not far away, one could see the ancient city as if it was the guardian of Qingyang City. As far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by tall trees that were half the height of a person. Palm-sized leaves interweaved, almost impenetrable, completely blocking out the sunlight, leaving only specks of light on the ground. Lin Mo slowly navigated into the mountain. With his current skills and cultivation level, even if he was in the depths of the mountain, he still could protect himself. Even if he could not win, he could still rely on the Swimming Dragon Steps to escape. Thus, he was not worried about his safety. He found a quiet place halfway up the mountain and started to cultivate the Broken Cloud Sword Manual, attempting to learn the first four moves. Following the manual, he concentrated his spirit and gathered his qi. The spiritual energy around his body merged with his major acupoints, constantly in attacking mode. There would be no rebirth if there was no destruction. Only by reaching one¡¯s limits would one be able to achieve a breakthrough. There was a saying, ¡°A person¡¯s potential is far greater than one¡¯s imagination.¡± This saying was not without reason. Lin Mo felt as if he had entered an illusionary realm. His vision was pitch black, and dark clouds covered the moon. He could not even see his fingers. At this moment, an illusionary figure suddenly appeared. His face could not be seen clearly, but he was holding a long sword in his hand as he broke through the clouds. The aura on his body was extremely shocking. His attacks were as fast as lightning, making it difficult for people to catch his movements. Lin Mo used a great deal of effort to see his movements. Then, he imitated the movements of this person. By the time he opened his eyes once again, the aura on Lin Mo¡¯s body had already changed. He did not expect by just comprehending the manual would allow him to silently break through to the fifth-level spirit gathering stage. ¡°The Broken Cloud Sword Manual is incomparably exquisite. It¡¯s a pity that it only has the first four moves.¡± However, just these few moves were already powerful enough to cause great damage. Lin Mo could not help but begin to look forward to the next part. He did not summon the Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron Sword and casually picked up a leaf. It was clearly just an ordinary leaf, but in his hands, it had turned into some kind of divine weapon. It was so sharp that it seemed as if it could even split the air in half. Swish! The leaf turned into a sharp weapon that landed on a large tree a hundred meters away. The thick and sturdy tree branches were shaken by the powerful airflow, and the fallen leaves looked like a sudden downpour. This was just a small test. Just as Lin Mo was about to summon the Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron Sword to test it, he felt a strange spiritual fluctuation coming from not too far away. ¡°It seems like someone is coming?¡± ¡­ At this moment, at the foot of Wuying Mountain. A human figure flashed past in a hurry, turning around and disappearing into the deep forest. At the same time, a few streaks of light surrounding the figure on his left and right followed closely behind. SI That human figure finally had no choice but to stop and helplessly said, ¡°We¡¯re originally from the same root. Why are you all so anxious to fight each other? Why are you all closing in on us?¡± A few streaks of light also revealed themselves. They were all dressed in the same uniform and had the Miao clan emblem on their chests. They were all members of the Miao clan. Judging from their strength, they were not weak at all. ¡°How dare you, Miao Qing? How dare you betray the clan leader? This is an unforgivable crime. Hurry up and surrender. Come back with me and ask for forgiveness. Perhaps I can spare your life then.¡± Miao Qing seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. ¡°What crime have I committed? I merely disliked the clan leader¡¯s cruel and vicious style, so I spoke out to dissuade him. Who would¡¯ve thought that I¡¯d almost get myself killed? What a joke!¡± The few law enforcers of the Miao clan were even more furious when they heard this. ¡°How dare you frame the clan leader when you¡¯re on the brink of death? You¡¯re clearly the one who has offended your superiors. The clan leader only gave you a small punishment and a big warning. Who would¡¯ve thought that you¡¯d hold a grudge and steal a treasure and escape?¡±. Miao Qing smiled coldly. ¡°If you wish to add insult to injury, there¡¯s no need to hesitate. After all, you¡¯re one of the four great clans of Qingyang City. Yet, you¡¯ve done such a disgraceful act. Tell Miao Yan that if he has the ability, he should fight fair and square and not play dirty tricks.¡± ¡°You¡¯re hopeless. Now that things have come to this, you¡¯re still slandering the young master! If I don¡¯t show you some moves, you¡¯ll never know the immensity of heaven and earth.¡± It turned out that Miao Qing was a side branch clan member of the Miao clan. However, due to the dwindling population, this bloodline gradually drifted away from the core of the Miao clan. It was not easy for Miao Qing to be noticed by the Miao clan as he had relied on his own strength to get to where he was step by step. However, he did not expect to accidentally offend a hypocrite like Miao Yan. As he tried to dissuade Miao Jian, he was disliked even more by the pair of father and son. Coupled with Miao Yan¡¯s interference, things had escalated to the current situation. The law enforcer¡¯s face was gloomy. ¡°Why are you talking so much with this traitor? The clan leader said that if there¡¯s any resistance, we can kill him without mercy and bring his head back!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to make his move. Fiery red spirit energy gushed out, and the dense fire element caused the surrounding temperature to increase immensely. The huge flame suddenly attacked Miao Qing. He leaped up like a great roc spreading its wings. The heatwave brushed past his shoulder. The hair that blew by his ear instantly melted. ¡°Boom!¡± A loud sound was heard, and it immediately startled the birds not far away. They hovered in the air, indicating that this place was not peaceful. The tree that was half the height of a man broke, leaving behind a pitch-black stake. An indescribable burning smell spread in the surroundings. The enforcer snorted coldly. ¡°Hmph, you dare to dodge it? You won¡¯t be able to next time!¡± He formed a seal with both hands, not giving Miao Qing any chance to breathe. The flames attacked again and charred the surrounding grass. Facing the menacing enforcers, Miao Qing did not dare to be careless. Chapter 54 - Set Fire to the Mountain and Be in Prison Until You Die Chapter 54 Set Fire to the Mountain and Be in Prison Until You Die Miao Qing let out an angry roar. The shadow of a stone statue appeared above his head. It looked like a giant from ancient times. It turned its palm into the size of a mountain and slammed it onto the ground. Suddenly, a continuous rumbling sound was heard, like the rolling of an Earth Dragon. In an instant, most of the flames were swallowed. Seeing this, the law enforcer divided the red spiritual power into many parts and gathered them toward Miao Qing from all directions. They formed a huge five-element formation and surrounded Miao Qing. Several cracks appeared on the ground. One could vaguely see the flow of red flames as if they were lava. Then, the wall of fire that was half the height of a person shot straight into the sky. Miao Qing could not dodge in time, so his clothes were burned into tatters. The ground tumbled, and countless pieces of gravel gathered in the air. A huge palm fell from the sky again. With lightning speed, it slammed toward the surrounding wall of fire. The wall of fire instantly shrank by more than half. It was still emitting thick smoke. Taking advantage of the opening of a passage, Miao Qing quickly flew out. The law enforcer followed closely behind. With a shake of his hand, the whip formed by the flames suddenly wrapped around Miao Qing¡¯s feet. He lost control and fell to the ground like a bird whose wings had been broken. At the critical moment, Miao Qing waved his hands downward. The spiritual energy released from his fingertips turned into green light spots and scattered on the ground. In an instant, leaves and vines grew crazily and surrounded the law enforcer and the others, blocking their way forward. The trees that were half the height of a person formed a green cage. The strong, powerful branches intertwined with each other, trapping the law enforcer and the others inside. From afar, they looked like a green cocoon. However, in the next second, a powerful red light was revealed from within. ¡°Roar!¡± The fire dragon devoured all the leaves and vines, and many of the trees were reduced to ashes. When the law enforcers looked again, the whip was empty. There was only a pool of blood on the ground, and Miao Qing¡¯s shadow was nowhere to be seen. ¡°He shouldn¡¯t be able to run far with such serious injuries. Let¡¯s go chase after him!¡± Miao Qing¡¯s head was covered in sweat, and his face was extremely red. However, his lips were deathly white, forming a stark contrast. At this moment, not only was there blood dripping from his ankle but there was also a huge abscess, and a faint red liquid could be seen flowing out. It looked extremely disgusting. Moreover, the abscess was still expanding. The originally undamaged skin around him was affected. That was the effect of the fire poison. If he did not clear it in time, his foot would probably be crippled. However, Miao Qing did not have the time to clear it. He knew that he would not end up well if he fell into the hands of the law enforcers. He endured the excruciating pain as he moved forward. However, being heavily injured affected his speed. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Sensing the danger behind him, Miao Qing narrowly avoided it. Those few people had caught up to him! The sound of sharp blades cutting through the air rang out once again. The flaming sword stood right in front of Miao Qing. The road ahead was blocked, so he had no choice but to stop. ¡°Let¡¯s see where you can run to!¡± The law enforcer smiled coldly. He looked at Miao Qing as if he was looking at a dead person. A scorching flame condensed in his palm. Just as he was about to kill him, Miao Qing subconsciously closed his eyes. At this critical moment, a male voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Do you want to burn down a mountain and spend the rest of your life in prison?¡± The law enforcer was shocked. There was someone else around! He quickly looked around but he could not see anyone. ¡°Who is it? Hurry up and get out!¡± A slender figure slowly walked out from the side. It was as if he was strolling in his own backyard. If it was not Lin Mo, then who was it? The law enforcer¡¯s face was filled with wariness. ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here so sneakily?¡±. Lin Mo looked at them casually. ¡°I was about to ask who you are. I was clearly cultivating here, but in the end, not only were you shouting and fighting but you even wanted to set the mountain on fire. You¡¯re disturbing my peace and quiet.¡± The law enforcer laughed coldly. ¡°What big words. Do you know who we are?¡± Lin Mo glanced at the markings on their bodies and said indifferently, ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys just members of the Miao clan? What¡¯s so great about it?¡± When the law enforcer and the others heard these words, they immediately revealed furious expressions. ¡°Brat, are you tired of living? You don¡¯t even put our Miao clan in your eyes. Do you want to die?!¡± This was the tyrannical aspect of the Miao clan. Just as the law enforcer was about to teach Lin Mo a lesson, he was stopped by his companion. ¡°The clan leader has instructed us to end this matter quickly. We still have to return and report. Let¡¯s not waste any more time here.¡± After saying that, he looked at Lin Mo without batting an eyelid. Other than this reason, he was unable to see through Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation level. One had to know that it was impossible for one without any spiritual power to appear at the depths of Wuying Mountain. Moreover, none of them had been able to detect Lin Mo¡¯s existence previously. If it was not for Lin Mo making a sound, the law enforcer would not have been able to discover him. From this, it could be seen that this person¡¯s strength was extraordinary. Hence, the law enforcer did not want to create any unnecessary trouble. His tone was unfriendly as he said, ¡°If you know what¡¯s good for you, then quickly leave. Our Miao clan is here to handle matters. You mustn¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± ¡°What if I meddle in your business?¡± They did not expect Lin Mo to be so unappreciative and even provoke them. The law enforcer¡¯s faces turned gloomy. ¡°Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go against our Miao clan?¡± Miao Qing did not want to involve others in this. He cupped his fists toward Lin Mo and said, ¡°Little Brother, you should quickly leave. I appreciate your kindness. This is between me and them.¡± After that, he turned to the law enforcers and said, ¡°The Miao clan has committed enough murders. It¡¯s a grudge between us. Don¡¯t involve others in it.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo smiled coldly. ¡°What a coincidence. It just so happens that I have a grudge with the Miao clan as well.¡± Chapter 56 - Take Miao Qing In and Leave the Auction House Chapter 56 Take Miao Qing In and Leave the Auction House Miao Qing slowly opened his eyes and heard Wu Jin¡¯s pleasantly surprised voice. ¡°Master, he¡¯s awake.¡± The wounds on his body had been treated. Looking at Lin Mo who was walking toward him, Miao Qing got off the bed and knelt on the ground. ¡°Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Lin.¡± Lin Mo sized him up. Although Miao Qing was heavily injured and his breathing was weak, from his looks, his cultivation was not low. He could not help but feel a little curious. ¡°Why did the Miao clan come after you? And they even said that you¡¯re a traitor.¡± Miao Qing sighed and explained clearly the grudge between him, Miao Yan, and Miao Jian. It turned out that the so-called betrayal was because he was dissatisfied with Miao Jian¡¯s cruel methods, so he spoke out to advise him. As a result, he was disliked by Miao Jian. In addition to his previous conflict with Miao Yan, he was trying to sow discord and frame Miao Qing. As a result, Qiao Qing was framed as a sinner who had offended his superior and spoke out against the clan leader. After that, he was displeased with the image of a sinner who had stolen the clan leader¡¯s treasure and betrayed the clan. When Wu Jin heard this, he said angrily, ¡°This father and son pair are terrible. They can be so sinister and vicious to their own clan members.¡± Miao Qing revealed a bitter smile. ¡°You guys don¡¯t know. Although my strength isn¡¯t bad, I come from a branch lineage. Moreover, I have long been lonely and have no way of getting in touch with the core position of the Miao clan.¡± Although strength was important, in the Miao clan, in order to fully control the power and prevent others from splitting the power, Miao Jian would only use the direct line of descent that was related to him. Those branch clans rarely had a day to shine. This resulted in a powerful person like Miao Qing having to put in a lot of effort to slowly climb up the ranks. After he offended Miao Yan, his days naturally would not be much better. It was not easy for him to climb up, but in the end, he was ostracized again. Miao Qing seemed to have thought of something. ¡°Oh right, before I was being hunted down, I heard that Miao Jian and the others were discussing how to deal with you. I heard that they¡¯ve already joined forces with the Lin clan. I believe that there will be some movement soon.¡± To repay Lin Mo for saving his life, Miao Qing told him an extremely useful piece of news. Wu Jin was indignant when he heard this. ¡°I never thought that the Lin clan would not change their ways. Now, they even want to join forces with the Miao clan to deal with you, Master.¡± He remembered that Lin Mo was also from the Lin clan, hence the words he spoke sounded a little rude. He quickly looked at Lin Mo, but he did not reveal any expression. Lin Mo had already expected this, so he was not surprised. ¡°Thanks for the reminder. What should you do next? The Miao clan didn¡¯t succeed in hunting you down this time, and they even lost a few of their men. I think they won¡¯t let you off.¡± Miao Qing sighed. ¡°From now on, I can only roam the world as my home.¡± In any case, he did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Miao clan. He did not feel too sad being chased out of the clan and hunted down. Seeing how free and easy Miao Qing was, even though he was a member of the Miao clan, he abhorred evil and was completely different from Miao Yan and Miao Jian. Lin Mo had an idea. ¡°If you don¡¯t have anywhere to go, why don¡¯t you stay here?¡± Miao Qing was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he was grateful to Lin Mo, he was still a little hesitant. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, the Miao clan will definitely not let you off. Won¡¯t I be a burden to you?¡± Lin Mo smiled. ¡°Even if you don¡¯t stay, the Miao clan won¡¯t let me off either. Anyway, we¡¯ve already formed a grudge, so it doesn¡¯t matter if there¡¯s another one.¡± That was also true. Moreover, Lin Mo had saved him, so Miao Qing would always repay his kindness. It just so happened that Miao Qing could stay and serve him. ¡°You should recuperate well. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s still a tough battle ahead.¡± Lin Mo gave Miao Qing some medicinal pills and instructed him to recuperate in peace. Then, he left with Wu Jin. ¡°Congratulations, Master, for accepting another great general.¡± After that, the two of them went to the storeroom. Wu Jin handed the account book over to Lin Mo for review. ¡°These are the auction items that I¡¯ve collected over the past few days.¡± Lin Mo took a rough look and was quite satisfied. It seemed that Wu Jin¡¯s work was quite effective. However, the highlight of this auction was the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡± that he had obtained from the Huang clan. The other auction items were mainly medicinal pills. ¡°Sigh, the increase in strength is still a little slow.¡± After all, Lin Mo had already taken a few huge steps in a short period. In the entire continent, even the proud sons of heaven and large sects could not compare to him. Wu Jin really did not dare to agree with him. He could not help but underestimate him and said, ¡°If Master¡¯s strength increases slowly, then there¡¯s no such thing as fast in this world.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± For others, due to the God Devouring Body, they could absorb high-level medicinal pill or inner core slowly over a longer period. However, for Lin Mo, it could be completed in a few breaths. This was both a benefit and a disadvantage. The benefit was that he could absorb all of the essences within a short period, while the disadvantage was that there was a supply shortage. Hence, the fifth-level top grade medicinal pill was of little help to Lin Mo. If he wanted to quickly raise his strength, he could only think of ways to absorb large amounts of it. ¡°Due to the successful publicity of the auction, it had attracted many people over. It¡¯s even possible that the heads of various clans will be present at the next auction.¡± Those who were on good terms with Lin Mo like the Huang clan and Du clan naturally did not have to worry. However, if they were from the Miao clan, it would be disadvantageous to Lin Mo. ¡°Master, you have to be careful.¡± Lin Mo knew what to do in the face of Wu Jin¡¯s warning. However, he believed that the next auction would be the last in Qingyang City. ¡°Make your preparations. After the auction is over, we¡¯ll leave this place.¡± After all, staying in Qingyang City would not give Lin Mo much room for improvement. It was better to plan ahead. Wu Jin was a little surprised. However, with the example of Chuxin Village, Lin Mo would not stay in one place for too long. Chapter 57 - A Rare Occasion! The Gathering of the Four Great Clans Chapter 57 A Rare Occasion! The Gathering of the Four Great Clans After giving some instructions, Lin Mo went to the secret room. After all, the next auction was about to begin. According to the information provided by Wu Jin, there would definitely be a gathering of experts. He had to raise his strength as soon as possible, or else he would not be able to control the situation. Perhaps the Lin clan and Miao clan would also choose to make a move that day, so increasing his strength was extremely urgent. Due to the auction returning system, if the rewards were auctioned off again, the system would not return them. Lin Mo decided to absorb those resources himself and cultivate the Star Shattering Dragon Fist. Not everyone had the ability to put a fifth-level martial art up for auction. Only a small number of people would be interested in it. On the contrary, it was medicinal pills that were popular with a steady flow of customers buying them. He decided to try his best to select medicinal pills for auction in the auction house. This way, he could use the returned medicinal pills to increase his strength. At this moment, Lin Mo was practicing the low seventh-level Broken Cloud Sword Manual, low seventh-level Golden Dipper Technique, high seventh-level Swimming Dragon Steps, and high fifth-level Star Shattering Dragon Fist. Although Lin Mo did not specialize in fist technique and he was used to using swords, who would complain about having too few martial arts techniques? In any case, he had the God Devouring Body. Furthermore, his learning was fast enough, so it would not be a big deal for him to cultivate other unorthodox martial arts techniques. Furthermore, the fist technique could be used to increase one¡¯s strength, and it would also be beneficial for the cultivation of the sword technique. Lin Mo sat cross-legged, his body emitting a faint golden light, making him seem like a god. This was a phenomenon that appeared when the Golden Shield Art circulated within his body. Specks of light appeared in the air as if they had been summoned. They lingered above his head like fireflies. More and more specks of light gathered. Lin Mo could feel a special energy in his dantian rapidly surging out. As it circulated throughout his meridians, the specks of light gradually gathered. It seemed to be without any pattern, but in reality, it was a star chart! The star chart was ever-changing, and it contained the movements of the various major bloodlines in the human body. If Lin Mo opened his eyes at this moment, he would discover that the place where the stars were twinkling was the same as the position where the energy had passed through the major acupoints in his body. It was as if there was an invisible force guiding something. As the energy circulated, a ball of essence gathered in the center of Lin Mo¡¯s palm. Following that, an outline appeared. The head was like a camel, the horns were like a deer, the eyes were like a rabbit, and the ears were like a cow. That was clearly the image of a dragon! The Golden Dragon moved in mid-air, and as it swung its tail, a strange fluctuation came from the air. Although its body was smaller, it already had an initial majestic aura. At this moment, it was still growing, and in the blink of an eye, it was already more than a few feet long. A faintly discernible dragon¡¯s roar came from the air. As Lin Mo opened his eyes, a golden light flashed past his eyes. With the help of the Golden Shield Art, his physical body continued to strengthen, and he broke through to the sixth-level spirit gathering realm. At the same time, his Star Shattering Dragon Fist had also achieved some success. He suddenly swung his fist, and the little dragon howled. The star map above its head shattered. Even the air became distorted, causing the ground to tremble incessantly. Fortunately, Lin Mo withdrew his strength, and the little dragon turned back halfway, disappearing into the air along with the star map. Otherwise, the entire secret chamber would have been shattered by it. This was one of the disadvantages of cultivating in the secret chamber. One¡¯s hands and feet were tied, and one could not relax one¡¯s body. If it was at WuyingMountain, Lin Mo would not have so many worries. Now that he had already broken through to the sixth-level spirit gathering realm, it was likely that even if the Lin and Miao clans joined forces, he would not be the slightest bit afraid. At this moment, Wu Jin was waiting outside the secret chamber. ¡°What should I do? The auction is about to start. Why hasn¡¯t Master come out of seclusion yet? Could he have forgotten what day it is today?¡± It turned out that a few days had passed quietly as soon as Lin Mo entered the secret chamber. It would not be good for Wu Jin to change the auction date. After all, the news had already spread, and many people had rushed over from other places. If he postponed the event now, he would incur the wrath of the public. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should go in or not, Lin Mo finally walked out of the secret chamber. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Master, you¡¯ve finally come out.¡± Time passed so quickly that Lin Mo almost delayed the opening of the auction. However, it was not too late now. ¡°How is it? How¡¯s the situation in the auction now?¡± Wu Jin wiped the sweat off his forehead. ¡°There are quite a few big shots here. I almost couldn¡¯t handle them.¡± In the auction hall. ¡°I missed the last auction because I had something to attend to. I regret it so much. I heard that quite a few good items have appeared.¡± ¡°This auction hall is quite capable. There are a few good items. I¡¯m just here to join in the fun. Even if I can¡¯t buy them, it¡¯s good to have a look.¡± ¡°There are even more people this time. There are also many unfamiliar faces. Could they be from another city?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you know? Everyone within a hundred miles knows that there¡¯s a powerful auction hall in Qingyang City. So they have all rushed over. Some of them are from the neighboring city!¡± ¡°So powerful? Then what does it have to do with ordinary cultivators like us? Isn¡¯t that the recently famous itinerant cultivator? I heard that he single-handedly took on a powerful bandit leader.¡± Everyone discussed animatedly. The venue could be said to be extremely lively. There was still some time before the start of the auction, and it was already packed to the brim. There were quite a few people among them who had come from other places to experience the auction. Such a grand occasion could be said to be unprecedented. ¡°The head of the Miao clan is here!¡± Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise. Everyone looked toward the door and saw Miao Jian and Miao Yan walking over. Their gazes were brutal and expressions cold. They did not seem like they were here for the auction. Instead, they seemed to be looking for trouble. Everyone seemed to have lowered their voices when they saw this. Chapter 58 - A Good Show Is About to Begin. Once Youve Finished Singing, Ill Go on Stage Chapter 58 A Good Show Is About to Begin. Once You¡¯ve Finished Singing, I¡¯ll Go on Stage ¡°I originally thought that the Miao clan wouldn¡¯t participate. I didn¡¯t expect them to come this time.¡± When his companion beside him heard this, he could not help but reveal a puzzled expression. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°You weren¡¯t here the last time. You don¡¯t know that Miao Yan bought a fifth-level demonic beast at a high price.¡± His companion gasped. ¡°Such a high price is more than enough to buy a sixth-level demonic beast. What is he thinking?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it because¡­¡± Initially, he thought that after Miao Yan was tricked by Lin Mo and the Du clan, he would not participate in the auction again. He did not expect that he would still come. It was likely that he did not come with good intentions. ¡°Looks like there will be a good show to watch this time.¡± ¡°The Wang clan is also here.¡± Following this, Wang Qing and his father, Wang Zhong, walked over. On the surface, the Wang clan and the Miao clan seemed to be doing well. Therefore, they exchanged greetings. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even the head of the Miao clan would be alarmed this time.¡± One had to know that other than the royal family, Miao Jian also had his own auction house. However, he had never been to any other auction house. It was the first time that everyone had seen him appear here. Of course, there was also another reason for coming here to find trouble with Lin Mo. ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. Didn¡¯t the head of the Wang clan come here today? It seems like he¡¯s also interested in this auction. I heard that Lin Mo even paid a visit a few days ago.¡± In the face of Miao Jian¡¯s probing, Du Nanfeng remained expressionless. ¡°I also heard that the items here are pretty good, so I came here out of curiosity to take a look. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know why the head of the Miao clan came.¡± Both of them were sly old foxes. They looked at each other and smiled, but did not say anything else. Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou also arrived at the scene. They even caused a small commotion. After all, their statuses were not ordinary, and their looks were outstanding. In addition to their extraordinary cultivation, they were quite popular in Qingyang City. However, their father, Huang Qing, was not by their side. Wang Zhong could not help but ask, ¡°Your father didn¡¯t come?¡± ¡°My father has never liked these things, so he didn¡¯t attend.¡± Huang Qing rarely attended such events, so everyone was already used to it. In addition to the Swimming Dragon Steps that he had exchanged with Lin Mo earlier, he was currently studying it at home. So how could he possibly show up here? Du Nanfeng said cheerfully, ¡°Now that two clans heads of the four great clans have appeared, I wonder if Du clan¡¯s head will be here again.¡± Miao Jian and his son¡¯s faces instantly turned black. They thought of how the Du father and son had cheated them of a large sum of spirit stones in the auction hall that day. There was another uproar. ¡°I¡¯m not late, am I?¡± Du Nanfeng walked in with big strides. His expression was as usual as he greeted them, turning a blind eye to the Miao clan¡¯s black faces as if nothing had happened. The clan heads were all cunning old foxes. No matter what kind of conflicts they had, they still had to be pretentious. For a time, the venue became even more lively. Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them. The heads of the three great clans had arrived. In the past decades, the four great clans had been in a better situation, but it was rare for them to gather together. Even the royal auction house had never seen such a grand scene. ¡°I wonder what good things will be auctioned off this time.¡± Du Nanfeng smiled faintly and said mockingly, ¡°No matter what it is, I believe that Brother Miao is determined to get it. I wonder how many spirit stones he¡¯ll prepare to bid for it this time.¡± His insinuation made everyone immediately think of what had happened at the previous auction. The faces of the members of the Miao clan darkened even more, especially Miao Yan. Everyone knew that the relationship between the Du clan and the Miao clan was not good. Now, they could not even bother to put on a show. Miao Jian also smiled forcefully. ¡°Brother Du, what are you talking about? The spirit stones of our Miao clan didn¡¯t come from the wind. If there¡¯s something good, we¡¯ll naturally bid for it. Let¡¯s see if there¡¯s anything here that¡¯s worth us fighting for.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing good, why would Brother Miao appear here?¡± Miao Jian and Du Nanfeng¡¯s gazes met in the air, and sparks instantly flew. The show had yet to officially begin, but everyone could smell the gunpowder. Seeing that the situation had gotten out of hand, Wang Zhong came out to smooth things over. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. We¡¯re fated to meet here today. After the auction is over, let me be the host, and have a gathering.¡± Miao Jian said meaningfully, ¡°I don¡¯t have any objections. I¡¯m just afraid that when the auction is over, someone will not be in a good mood.¡± Du Nanfeng was also unwilling to be outdone. ¡°That¡¯s right. If I spend so many spiritual stones to bid for a fifth-level demonic beast, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be in a good mood either.¡± This was a blatant remark that once again opened the scars of Miao Jian and his son. ¡°Then there¡¯s no need for any more nonsense. Let¡¯s just see what the real deal is at the auction!¡± After Miao Jian finished his sentence, his expression was as cold as ice as he angrily flicked his sleeves and left. Wang Zhong had always been a person of peace and harmony. He did not participate in the feud between the two clans and could not help but say, ¡°Brother Du, you¡¯re acting strange today.¡± Although the Du and Miao clans did not have a good relationship, there were very rare tit-for-tat confrontations like this. Wang Zhong had a feeling that something big was about to happen. Ever since Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, the situation of the four great clans had changed. Although it seemed calm now, there was actually an undercurrent. He had a premonition that Lin Mo might break the balance in Qingyang City However, Du Nanfeng did not answer him directly. ¡°Brother Wang, what are you saying? Haven¡¯t I always been like this?¡± Wang Zhong seemed like he wanted to say something else, but Du Nanfeng changed the topic. ¡°The auction is about to begin. Let¡¯s hurry and take our seats.¡± Lin Mo took in everything that happened in the venue, and naturally saw the conflict between Du Nanfeng and Miao Jian. Chapter 59 - The Appearance of the Spirit Tempering Pill Caused An Uproar in the Auction House Chapter 59 The Appearance of the Spirit Tempering Pill Caused An Uproar in the Auction House Other than the local people in Qingyang City, there were also many unfamiliar faces in the auction house. They did not understand the situation in the city. They only looked at the people coming and going, and their every movement revealed a noble aura. Many of them were people with extraordinary statuses. They could not help but ask curiously, ¡°When I came to the city before, I only heard of the royal family auction house. I heard that it¡¯s quite prestigious. Could this be the place?¡± ¡°Of course, not. This auction house only appeared recently. The previous owner didn¡¯t manage it well, and in the end, it was taken over by someone else. Who would¡¯ve thought that the current owner was so capablethat he managed it to such an extent?¡± That person did not believe what he heard. After all, this place was crowded and was extremely popular. Everyone knew that an auction house was most particular about its foundation. Without three to five years of experience, it was impossible for it to reach such a level. ¡°Are you joking?¡± ¡°Why would I lie to you? You¡¯ve finally come to the right place today. This is a good auction house. It even exceeds the royal auction house. Each time, there will be fifth-level treasures on auction. This is something that even the royal auction house cannot do.¡± Hearing the introduction from the locals of Qingyang City, the outsiders were shocked. However, looking at their expressions, there was no need to lie to them. They were looking forward to the upcoming auction even more. As Wu Jin went up on stage, the entire place suddenly became silent. ¡°I¡¯m very grateful to everyone for coming to our auction despite your busy schedule. This time, not only did we have many old friends to support us, but we also have many new friends. I hope that everyone will have some gains today and make this trip worthwhile.¡± Wu Jin did not waste any more time. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he announced that the auction had officially begun. ¡°The first item up for auction is a low fifth-level pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill! The starting price is 6,000 spirit stones.¡± The first item up for auction already had the strength of a low fifth-level. It could be imagined that the subsequent items would be of higher level and higher quality. Many people¡¯s eyes lit up when they heard this. ¡°Good heavens, it¡¯s indeed a big deal. It¡¯s a Marrow Cleansing Pill.¡± Immediately, someone placed a bid. ¡°7,000 spirit stones!¡± The Marrow Cleansing Pill was different from other pills. Most of those pills could help spirit gathering realm experts in their cultivation. The effect of increasing their strength in a short period was only temporary. Although the Marrow Cleansing Pill could not increase one¡¯s strength, it could help cultivators consolidate their previous cultivation. Simply put, it was to consolidate and strengthen their foundation. Only then would it be convenient for them to advance smoothly in the future. It would benefit cultivators endlessly, and there were no side effects. ¡°8,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°9,000 spirit stones!¡± The price soared. However, most of the bidders were itinerant cultivators or ordinary clans. Although it was difficult to refine fifth-level pills, it was not unheard of in Qingyang City. Therefore, the heads of the three clans did not make a move. When the price reached a little over 10,000 spirit stones, the speed of bidding slowed down. Miao Jian, Du Nanfeng, Wang Zhong, and the others were calm and composed. They were all cunning old foxes, so they naturally knew the reason behind the better items. Very quickly, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was bought by an itinerant cultivator at the price of 12,000 spirit stones. ¡°The second item for auction is a top sixth-level grade pill, the Spirit Tempering Pill! The starting bid is 15,000 spirit stones!¡± When this was announced, everyone was shocked. They thought that they were hearing things. In Qingyang City, a low sixth-level medicinal pill was already an existence at its peak. Moreover, it was something that could only be found by chance and could not be bought even if one had money. Although they were both sixth-level, there was a huge difference between a low-grade and a top-grade medicinal pill. Even Miao Jian, Du Nanfeng, and the others had rarely seen a top sixth-level medicinal pill. It was suitable for a ninth-level spirit gathering realm expert to consume, and could help a cultivator achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible! ¡°16,000 spirit stones!¡± Just as everyone was in a state of shock, they forgot to bid. No one had expected that the first person to bid would be Miao Jian. This caused quite a number of people to whisper among themselves. ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that the Miao clan and Lin Mo had a bad relationship? Why is the Miao clan still so eager to participate in the auction? Isn¡¯t it giving money away? Could it be that there¡¯s some misunderstanding?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that they have a bad relationship. I was at the scene last time and you didn¡¯t see the murderous look in Miao Yan¡¯s eyes. However, who will have a bad relationship with a top grade medicinal pill? No rule says that you can¡¯t participate in the auction if you don¡¯t have a good relationship, right?¡± ¡°That seems to be the case.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s hard to say. The Miao clan has already made peace with Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo is very aggressive and has a strong background. He can bring out many good items. Even the Miao clan has no choice but to bow their heads.¡± The discussions of the surrounding people reached the ears of Miao Jian and Miao Yan. No one noticed the viciousness in their expressions. Following this, Wang Zhong also placed a bid, ¡°18,000 spirit stones.¡± Du Wan could not help but grab the armrest of the chair. He looked at Du Nanfeng anxiously and could not help but say, ¡°Father, this pill is for you¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, Du Nanfeng shook his head. Not only the auction was not a game of spirit stones, but it was also a game of psychology. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this pill will definitely be ours.¡± ¡°20,000 spirit stones.¡± Who would have thought that when Miao Yan heard these words, he would reveal a mocking smile? ¡°Head of Du clan, you really have a big mouth.¡± In the face of the yin and yang of the Miao clan, Du Nanfeng remained expressionless. ¡°After all, it¡¯s a top sixth-level pill. Who wouldn¡¯t be tempted? Even Brother Miao has bid. I thought that after what happened last time, you wouldn¡¯t appear again.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t the Miao clan have top sixth-level medicinal pills? That¡¯s why they¡¯re competing with us here. Looks like your auction house¡¯s strength isn¡¯t up to par either.¡± Du Nanfeng was an old yin and yang man. He hit the nail on the head of the father and son of the Miao clan. Chapter 60 - Top Sixth-Level Dragon Transformation Pill! The Miao Clans Conspiracy Chapter 60 Top Sixth-Level Dragon Transformation Pill! The Miao Clan¡¯s Conspiracy As a result, Miao Yan gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°25,000 spirit stones!¡± Miao Jian did not show much anger on his face. However, the serious gloominess on his face seemed to appear gradually. He glanced at Du Nanfeng and the others indifferently and sneered, ¡°Yan¡¯er, don¡¯t be angry. These people are like grasshoppers after autumn. They won¡¯t be able to jump around for long.¡± Seeing that the Miao clan had raised the price again, Du Nanfeng could not help but raise his eyebrows. ¡°It seems that Brother Miao is determined to get this pill.¡± Miao Jian said coldly, ¡°It seems that the head of the Du clan also needs this pill. However, those who are capable will get it. It depends on who has the most spiritual stones!¡± ¡°30,000 spiritual stones!¡± Du Nanfeng and Miao Jian clashed again. The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder. Everyone seemed to have seen the scene from last time. Miao Jian was so enthusiastic that it could not help but make people curious. After all, he had already suffered a loss last time. Could it be that he still wanted to repeat the same mistake? There must be something fishy going on. Lin Mo could not help but fall into deep thought. According to Miao Jian¡¯s character, even if he needed this pill, he would not do such a thing. Of course, he could not rule out other situations. The Miao clan did not have enough strength to contend against him. After all, with Lin Mo¡¯s current cultivation, he was not afraid of anyone in the spirit gathering realm. Such a pill should be extremely rare even for the high-level cultivators in the Miao clan. Even if Miao Jian had a grudge against him, he could only put it aside for now. At this moment, the price had already soared to 40,000 spirit stones, and it was still rising rapidly, making the other bidders unable to catch up. ¡°In terms of strength, these big clans are still the richest.¡± ¡°I heard that among the four big clans, Miao Jian was the first to break through, so comparatively speaking, the Miao clan is the richest.¡± ¡°Looks like this precious Spirit Tempering Pill will fall into his hands.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Looking at the Du clan¡¯s expression, it seems like this pill is of great use to them.¡± ¡°45,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°48,000 spirit stones!¡± At this moment, only Miao Jian, Du Nanfeng, and Wang Zhong were left to bid. As the Huang clan mainly studied martial arts, they were not that keen on pills. As the price continued to increase, although the Huang sisters also wanted the Spirit Tempering Pill, they chose to give up in the end. ¡°60,000 spirit stones!¡± As Miao Jian shouted the price, the entire venue fell silent. This was almost the highest price ever auctioned in the history of Qingyang City! Miao Jian was very pleased with himself. He looked around, and finally, his gaze fell on Du Nanfeng, with a somewhat provocative stare. Du Nanfeng secretly clenched his fists. Subconsciously, he wanted to open his mouth, but he forcefully endured it. The Du clan could afford 60,000 spirit stones. However, mobilizing such a large amount of funds in such a short period would probably have a certain impact on the Du clan. Moreover, looking at Miao Jian¡¯s appearance, he was bound to bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill. If he continued to bid, the final deal would probably not only be 60,000 but an astronomical price. After thinking it through, Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong had no choice but to give up. ¡°Only the Miao clan has the ability to take out so many spirit stones. As expected, among the four great clans, the Miao clan fares slightly better. If Miao Jian successfully makes another breakthrough, the situation in Qingyang City might change again.¡± ¡°If we add in the Spirit Quenching Pill, I¡¯m afraid that Miao Jian has a greater than 50% chance of making a breakthrough. It was not easy for the other clans to close the gap between them, but they are going to make another breakthrough again.¡± ¡°Could it be that the Miao clan is really going to become the leader of the four great clans?¡± Everyone discussed animatedly. In the end, Miao Jian bid for the pill at the price of 60,000 spirit stones. Miao Jian, Wang Zhong, and Du Nanfeng were the first to break through to the peak of the ninth-level gathering realm. They relied on the rich medicinal pills and resources in their clan. Wang Zhong and Du Nanfeng did not have as much wealth as Miao Jian, so they could only comfort themselves. Even if they had the Spirit Tempering Pill, it did not mean that they would be able to break through smoothly. Otherwise, the entire Miao clan would have to put all their efforts to refine the Spirit Tempering Pill to allow Miao Jian to break through. Why would they have waited until now to spend such a high price to bid for the pill? was Even though that was what they said, Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong¡¯s expressions did not look good. In comparison, Miao Jian was extremely pleased. At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding! Host has auctioned a top sixth-level Spirit Tempering Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times critical strike return. ) [ Obtained a top seventh-level Dragon Transformation Pill! ] The Dragon Transformation Pill could help a ninth-level spirit gathering realm expert break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm! It could be said that a carp had leaped through the dragon¡¯s gate and ascended to the heavens in a single step! Even Lin Mo could not suppress the excitement on his face. This scene happened to be seen by Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong. They felt that this scene looked strange. After all, the two of them had a grudge. If Miao Jian were to bid for this pill, his strength should increase greatly after consuming it. According to his vengeful character, the first person he would deal with was Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo did not feel the slightest sense of crisis and instead seemed to be somewhat happy. This was truly unbelievable. At the same time, Miao Jian also saw Lin Mo¡¯s expression.He thought that Lin Mo knew something, and the gloominess in his eyes became even more intense. Miao Yan could not help but say, ¡°Lin Mo couldn¡¯t have found out about our plan, right?¡± Miao Jian was not sure either. Logically speaking, only the core members of the Miao clan and the Lin clan knew about this plan. There was no chance that the secret would be leaked unless Lin Mo could predict the future. ¡°No matter what it is, this kid¡¯s nature is crafty and hard to deal with. It might also be a smokescreen prepared by him. All in all, it¡¯s best to be careful.¡± The father and son looked at each other. Their gazes were dark and filled with a sense of conspiracy. At this moment, Lin Mo was still unaware that danger was slowly approaching. Chapter 61 - The Crowd is in an Uproar. The Seventh-Level Sword Technique, Broken Cloud Sword Manual Chapter 61 The Crowd is in an Uproar. The Seventh-Level Sword Technique, Broken Cloud Sword Manual The appearance of the Spirit Tempering Pill caused the atmosphere in the venue to become fiery. Everyone was discussing animatedly, sighing at the auction venue¡¯s extravagance. ¡°This second item is already a top sixth-level medicinal pill. There should be more items to be auctioned later on. It can¡¯t be a seventh-level item, right?¡± ¡°You have to know how long has it been since a seventh-level item has appeared in Qingyang City. The last time it appeared was a few decades ago. It¡¯s said that it caused a sensation.¡± ¡°The last one doesn¡¯t count at all. At most, it was a sixth-level item. It¡¯s said that they used a secret technique to forcefully raise the level. The auction house originally wanted to make a fortune, but in the end, the matter was exposed and the seller came looking for them. The seller¡¯s background was very powerful, so the auction house lost a lot of money and even shut down.¡± Everyone was talking and unintentionally, another strange story was involved. ¡°This matter was only revealed after a period, so very few people knew about it. That seller was so angry that he swore that he would never set foot in Qingyang City again.¡± They did not expect that there would be such a complicated story here. Everyone¡¯s eyes shone with the light of gossip. ¡°That¡¯s why it¡¯s not so easy to see seventh-level item. Even the four great clans might not have it.¡± Although everyone was looking forward to the auction house bringing a seventh-level item, they knew that it was highly unlikely. However, a top sixth-level item was not too bad. At least they would be able to feast their eyes on it. When Wu Jin heard everyone¡¯s words, he revealed a mysterious smile. ¡°Next up is low seventh-level sword technique, Broken Cloud Sword Manual! The starting price is 30,000 spirit stones!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thought that they were hearing things. ¡°What! There really is a seventh-level item, and it¡¯s a sword technique!¡± In the box made of hundred-year-old agarwood, there was a light blue cover. The edges of the cover were already slightly yellowed, silently telling the traces of history. It looked quite ancient. There was a vague old charm surrounding it, so much so that everyone ignored the sword intent hidden in the dark. The moment they opened it, they could faintly hear a buzzing sound. It was like the sound of a golden spear or the sound of swords clashing. In an instant, everyone seemed to have arrived in a world made of sword qi. The sharp longsword seemed to be able to cut through everything, be it the chasing wind, or the flowing clouds in the sky. It seemed to be able to pierce through everything! All sorts of strange phenomena appeared at the same time, but in the end, they were all destroyed by this sword shadow. It was as if the clouds in the sky had disappeared, and everyone was unable to regain their senses for a long time. Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou looked at each other. Their expressions were filled with surprise and astonishment. This was clearly¡­ They did not expect Lin Mo to auction off such an important martial art! Was he crazy? After all, a seventh-level sword manual was something that could only be found by chance, not by money. Even if one had money, they would not be able to buy it. Even the incomplete sword manual had great lethality. Moreover, the incomplete sword manual already had the strength of a seventh-level low grade sword manual. If it was a complete manual, it might even be able to reach the eighth-level. In addition to the Huang clan who was not proficient in sword techniques as well as Huang Qing who did not have much of a clue, he would not be willing to part with the Broken Cloud Sword Manual. ¡°Could it be that Lin Mo wanted to exchange with us for the sake of using it for the auction to raise the popularity of the auction house? Logically speaking, that shouldn¡¯t be the case.¡± Currently, the popularity of the auction house could be said to be the highest in the entire Qingyang City. Whether it was in terms of popularity or flow of people, it was simply incomparable to other auction houses. Lin Mo did not need to spend such a huge price to raise the auction house¡¯s popularity at all. If one were to say that he was greedy for money, it would not be too likely. He could earn more when he ran out of spirit stones. However, there were not many seventh-level cultivation techniques. The two sisters could not figure it out no matter how much they thought about it. Huang Zhiyun was shocked. An impossible thought appeared in her mind. ¡°Could it be that he has finished cultivating, so he took it out for auction?¡± Huang Zhirou was surprised. ¡°No way. It¡¯s only been a few days. Is his cultivation speed so fast? Even if he¡¯s powerful, it¡¯s impossible for him to learn all four moves. At most, he can only learn one or two.¡± Even so, the sisters were shocked beyond words. Excluding all their prior thoughts, only this one seemed to make sense. Although Huang Zhiyun and the others felt that auctioning the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡± was a little inappropriate, their personalities were similar to Huang Qing¡¯s. They were not reckless people. Since they had already made a deal with Lin Mo, it was naturally up to him to decide how to deal with the item. They were only surprised that Lin Mo had learned so quickly. Could it be that he had finished learning the incomplete manual of the first four moves? Or, could it be that he had simply copied it and used it for his own learning, while the original version was being auctioned off? ¡°Lin Mo doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s short of money. Previously, he auctioned off so many things, and it gave people the feeling that he was going to run away. Or perhaps there was an emergency at home?¡± ¡­ The two sisters kept guessing, but they still could not figure out the reason behind Lin Mo¡¯s actions. The price of the sword manual was extremely high. However, they already had a copy of it, so there was no need for them to bid for it. Furthermore, if the Swimming Dragon Steps were to be auctioned off at the same price, it might even be slightly higher. Although it was a movement technique, it was a complete version. Therefore, the two sisters did not hold any grudges against Lin Mo. This was because it was not easy to learn the ¡°Broken Cloud Sword Manual¡±. Even though Huang Qing had studied quite a few incomplete versions and restored the original, he was helpless against this sword manual. He was unable to restore the complete version of the sword manual and he was barely able to cultivate to the second move. As he was unable to make any progress further, he had no choice but to give up and leave it in the clan¡¯s treasure chest. On the other hand, Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou were cultivating other array of formations and martial arts. There was no need to waste too much energy and time on the incomplete manual, so they were not interested in the sword manual. Chapter 62 - The Miao Father and Son Are Upset. Lin Mo Takes the Blame Again Chapter 62 The Miao Father and Son Are Upset. Lin Mo Takes the Blame Again ¡°A low seventh-level sword manual¡­ How long has it been since I last saw it? I didn¡¯t expect to see it in Qingyang City.¡± The person who said this was a powerful itinerant cultivator who had traveled far and wide. ¡°I once went to the capital, and it just so happened that the largest auction hall was holding a grand meeting, so I was fortunate enough to see it.¡± Martial arts of this level were incomparably precious even within the royal family. Miao Jian, Wang Zhong, and Du Nanfeng were also incomparably shocked. Although their clans had many treasures in their collection, they were not like the Huang clan who specialized in collection, let alone this kind of powerful sword manual. Even the Huang clan only had this low seventh-level incomplete sword manual. e ni ¡°We¡¯ve already missed the Spirit Tempering Pill, so we must bid for this martial art. Even if we don¡¯t succeed, we can pass it on to our juniors.¡± Du Nanfeng made up his mind, and Wang Zhong and the others had the same thoughts. ¡°25,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°30,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°50,000 spirit stones!¡± It could be said that the appearance of the Broken Cloud Sword Manual had brought the auction to a climax, and almost everyone went crazy over it. In just a few short breaths, the price had already soared to 50,000 spirit stones, and it was still rising rapidly. Other than the people from the four great clans, many outsiders were also bidding on it. It could be seen that they had been keeping a low profile and preserving their resources. After all, it involved money and it was not their territory, so it was better to be careful. Even if they had won the bid, there was no guarantee that they would be safe. It was not like there had not been people who would take risks and kill others to steal treasures. Now, under the temptation of the seventh-level sword manual, they could not care less. This scene was unprecedented in Qingyang City. The crowd shouted the price like crazy which really made people speechless. ¡°Even if I don¡¯t have the money to bid, it¡¯s not a loss to see such a scene.¡± ¡°I participated in the auction, and I also auctioned it. In the future, we can go out and say that we¡¯ve seen the seventh-level sword manual before.¡± However, as the price rose, Miao Jian¡¯s expression got gloomier. He secretly clenched his fists. If he had known that the low seventh-level sword manual would appear now, he would not have bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill. ¡°Looks like Brother Miao has a big clan. Not only did you bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill earlier, but now you also want to bid for the Broken Cloud Sword Manual.¡± Du Nanfeng had a mocking look on his face. He knew that Miao Jian definitely did not have enough spirit stones. Seeing him like this, he was relieved that he did not manage to bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill. He was even a little glad that he did not continue bidding with Miao Jian back then. If he had really managed to bid for it, he would have been so regretful that his intestines would have turned green. However, the person who was regretting now was Miao Jian. Miao Jian¡¯s face was gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth. ¡°Then, there¡¯s no need for Brother Du to care.¡± Du Wan chimed in from the side, ¡°Elder Miao, please don¡¯t say that. My father is also worried about you. After all, we¡¯re the heads of the clans. If we forcefully bid for it for sake of face, we won¡¯t be able to produce so many spirit stones. Otherwise, people will laugh at our four great clans.¡± Du Nanfeng reprimanded him, but his expression could not hide the ridicule on his face. ¡°Wan¡¯er, how dare you speak like that? Is the head of Miao clan such a person?¡± The father and son duo echoed each other¡¯s words. When it came to yin and yang, almost no one was a match for them. However, Miao Jian and Miao Yan were furious. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!¡± Du Nanfeng withdrew when he was satisfied with the outcome. Otherwise, the two clans would probably fight there and then. Even so, the way the Miao clan looked at them was as if they were going to eat them alive. ¡°60,000 spirit stones!¡± However, the price that he called out was like an invisible slap on Miao Jian¡¯s face. Sixty thousand was already their maximum fund. They could not help it since they had spent a lot of money to buy the Spirit Tempering Pill previously. Miao Yan reminded, ¡°Father, if we continue at this pace, I¡¯m afraid that we won¡¯t be able to get the sword manual.¡± In If they were to spend all the resources and spirit stones of the Miao clan to buy the sword manual, the others would probably have complaints. Thinking of the pros and cons of this, Miao Jian had no choice but to stop bidding As the price increased, many people stopped bidding with hatred in their hearts. They only hated the fact that they did not have enough wealth and did not bring enough spirit stones. Right now, only Du Nanfeng, Wang Zhong, and a foreign expert were still bidding. With the three of them standing to bid, the entire scene was filled with anxiety. No one knew which clan could end up with the sword manual. Miao Yan¡¯s expression was cold and could not help but conjure up some conspiracy theories. ¡°Previously, the Du clan had many dealings with Lin Mo. Could it be that Lin Mo had already revealed to the father and son of the Du clan that there would be a seventh-level sword manual for auction?¡± If they had received the news in advance, they definitely would not have bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill. ¡°You mean¡­ Lin Mo has set us up again!¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t that the case with the fifth-level demonic beast earlier? Now, it¡¯s just another way to trick us.¡± It was not impossible. After they had bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill, they would not be able to bid in the subsequent seventh-level sword manual. They could only watch helplessly as Du Nanfeng or Wang Zhong bid for it. SV ¡°If people like Du Nanfeng who likes sword techniques or swordsmen learn the sword manual, wouldn¡¯t it greatly increase their strength, and eventually able to crush our Miao clan?¡± It seemed to make sense. Miao Jian clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked, and his gaze was extremely vicious. He growled, ¡°Lin Mo! I definitely won¡¯t let you off so easily.¡± This time, Du Nanfeng and Lin Mo had unknowingly taken the blame. One had to know that Lin Mo had not revealed any information. Du Nanfeng had only found out about this matter after the appearance of the seventh-level sword manual. The two of them had not communicated with each other beforehand. The father and son of the Miao clan were the ones who wanted to bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill, and there was no one making things difficult for them. Du Nanfeng indeed needed this pill. However, the father and son duo was too narrow-minded and could only blame others for their misfortune. Chapter 63 - The System Has Completed the Manual. Top Ninth-Level Cultivation Technique Emerges! Chapter 63 The System Has Completed the Manual. Top Ninth-Level Cultivation Technique Emerges! The first to withdraw was the powerful Miao clan. It shocked the others greatly. ¡°Why did the Miao clan stop bidding? This is a seventh level sword technique. It¡¯s a rare opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we¡¯ll have to wait for the next time?¡± ¡°It seems that the Miao clan has spent a lot of spirit stones to buy the Spirit Tempering Pill earlier. Now, they simply can¡¯t afford to spend so much money, so they can only stop bidding.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that too much of a pity? I originally thought that their strength would increase greatly after obtaining the Spirit Tempering Pill, which would widen the gap between the other clans. However, if this sword manual falls into the hands of the Du clan or the Wang clan, won¡¯t they be unable to catch up in the future?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t put it that way. What if the Wang and Du clans can¡¯t understand this sword technique?¡± As the price increased, the tension in the hall rose. At this time, the foreign expert also withdrew from the auction. After all, it was not his own territory, so he did not have that many spirit stones on him. He could only stop with hatred. Only Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong competed to the end. ¡°It seems that unaffiliated cultivators like us don¡¯t have the chance to practice seventh-level martial arts. Only those powerful and well-established clans can do it.¡± Some people had different views on this. A cold snort came from the crowd. ¡°That might not be the case.¡± The person who said this was dressed exotically. The leather coat made by the silver ring wind wolf was filled with an indescribable domineering aura. The wolf¡¯s head was just on his shoulder, retaining the power when it was alive. He was eyeing the crowd covetously. One had to know that the silver ring wind wolf was powerful and extremely fast. It was difficult for ordinary people to find its tracks, but a man was able to use its entire fur. From this, it could be seen that he was extremely powerful. ¡°Since you don¡¯t have that much money, why don¡¯t you just¡­¡± The determination and ruthlessness in his eyes showed that he was someone who had spent a lot of time licking blood from swords. It was likely that he had done this kind of thing in the past. As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the people around him instantly became subtle, and the gazes they looked at him with were filled with admiration. He remembered that the last person who had such thoughts was now two meters tall. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to be alive? Do you have to seek death?¡± ¡°I respect you as a man.¡± When someone heard these words, they hurriedly sat far away as if they were trying to draw a clear line with him, afraid of being implicated in the matter. Some people who were on good terms with him also knew of Lin Mo, so they reminded him. ¡°I advise you to quickly dispel such dangerous thoughts. You know about Scorpion, right? Even the one on the wanted list couldn¡¯t bid for it, so he wanted to snatch it from him. In the end, he was instantly killed before he could even make a move.¡± That person had also heard of Scorpion¡¯s name, so he was instantly stunned. ¡°No, it can¡¯t be? Instantly killed?¡± ¡°How could it not be? We saw it with our own eyes. Moreover, there are several ninth-level spirit gathering realm experts this time, and they all seem to be on good terms with Lin Mo. The members of the four great clans aren¡¯t just for show, and they won¡¯t just sit idly by.¡± ¡°Making a move in Qingyang City¡­ Isn¡¯t this a clear slap to their faces? I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s because they¡¯re tired of living. Moreover, do you think that you¡¯ll be able to snatch it away from the four great clans?¡± He could not help but swallow his saliva. The thought that had just popped up in his mind instantly vanished, and he decided to live with his tail between his legs. Other than him, some people had other devious ideas. However, after looking at the two great clans that were competing fervently, and weighing his own strength, they gave up in the end. Although seventh-level martial arts were tempting, they still needed to be alive to learn them. If they offended the four great clans because of this, they would probably be on the run from now on. ¡°80,000 spirit stones!¡± Du Nanfeng shouted out this price in a heroic manner, instantly becoming the center of attention. The entire venue was instantly silent. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. Such a high price was unprecedented in Qingyang City. It was simply a new record! Even Wu Jin was extremely excited. ¡°80,000 spirit stones. Is there any higher price than this? If there isn¡¯t, the seventh-level sword manual will fall into his hands.¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze subconsciously fell on Wang Zhong Wang Zhong could not help but sigh. He revealed no reaction. Everyone knew that the final winner had been decided. At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. ( Ding! Host has auctioned a seventh-level martial art, Broken Cloud Sword Manual. ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times critical strike return. ] [ Ninth-level Broken Cloud Sword Manual. ] Ecstasy surged into Lin Mo¡¯s heart. He was even happier than Du Nanfeng who had successfully bid the sword manual. His guess was correct! He could use the system to complete the incomplete martial art! This meant that in the future, as long as there was a high level incomplete martial art, he could complete it with the help of the system. Moreover, compared to high level martial arts, this incomplete martial art was easier to obtain! This was because the requirements to learn incomplete manuals were much higher. Some of them were even impossible to do so. They held no value to those who owned them. Thus, it would be much easier for Lin Mo to collect them. The most important thing was that this Broken Cloud Sword Manual was extremely powerful. The incomplete manuals were all at low seventh-level. Initially, he had wanted to say that the complete version would be at least eight or ninth-level. However, he had not expected that it would give him such a huge surprise. It was actually at the peak of the ninth-level! Lin Mo¡¯s emotions stirred up a huge wave, causing him to be unable to calm down for a long time. He had even started to think about how he could quickly collect the incomplete version and use the system to complete it. Chapter 64 - The Miao Clans Invitation Chapter 64 The Miao Clan¡¯s Invitation ¡°Thank you all for participating in this auction. Today¡¯s auction ends here.¡± Even though the auction had ended, the crowd¡¯s enthusiasm had not subsided. They were still immersed in the auction. After all, such a scene could only be seen once in their lives. Whether it was the top sixth-level Spirit Tempering Pill or the low seventh-level Broken Cloud Sword Manual, it was enough to broaden their horizons. This trip was not in vain. They could boast about this auction for a lifetime. At this moment, there was an undercurrent between the four great clans. ¡°Congratulations, Brother Du. After bidding for this sword manual, I believe that your strength will definitely rise to another level in the future.¡± Wang Zhong was worthy of being the clan leader. He smiled and went up to congratulate the Du clan. This kind of magnanimity and breadth of mind was truly incomparable. In comparison, Miao Jian and the others appeared somewhat cold. However, they walked forward with gloomy expressions and said, ¡°Congratulations, but whether or not you can learn it is another issue. Otherwise, spending so many spirit stones to bid for it would be a waste.¡± The rest of the words were purely to disgust people. Anyone could see the unwillingness of the Miao clan members. Du Nanfeng did not care at all. He said indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s no need for Brother Miao to worry. Our Du clan has many disciples. No matter how disappointing we are, we can still have a disciple who can grasp a move. On the other hand, Brother Miao doesn¡¯t even have the chance to do so.¡± Du Wan also chimed in from the side. ¡°Father, let¡¯s not worry about it. Didn¡¯t the Miao clan also bid for the Spirit Tempering Pill? Anyone can take the pill. It¡¯s unlike cultivating sword techniques which require talent. Presumably, the Miao clan¡¯s strength will also rise, unlike us who still have to study the sword manual.¡± What did he mean by anyone can take the pill?! Hearing this, the Miao father and son were so angry that their facial features were a little distorted. On the surface, it was indeed as Du Wan said. There was no threshold for the pill to be taken. Once taken, it would immediately take effect, and one¡¯s strength would rapidly increase. However, how could a sixth-level pill compare to a seventh-level sword manual? Once one successfully learned the Broken Cloud Sword Manual, it would be comparable to the effects of several Spirit Tempering Pills. Moreover, there was only one medicinal pill, but the sword manual could be learned by anyone with talent. Even if one did not have such talent, it could be passed down from generation to generation. These two items could not be compared at all! The atmosphere of the Miao and Du clans was suddenly a little tense, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became even more intense. Wang Zhongcai¡¯s eyelids twitched as he watched from the side, afraid that they would fight if they did not agree with each other. Originally, the Du clan would not go against the Miao clan in such a situation. After all, their strength had not reached the stage where they could compete with each other. Naturally, they would avoid the fight if they could. However, ever since the demonic beast sent by Lin Mo, and Du Nanfeng who had also recently broken through and gained some confidence, he was not afraid of Miao Jian and the others at all. Miao Jian¡¯s expression was dark and cold. He seemed to have thought of something and slowly revealed a smile. ¡°Brother Du, you¡¯re too modest. I still have important matters to attend to, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡± After saying this, he turned around and left without any hesitation. The Du father and son looked at each other and felt that it was a little strange. Leaving just like that was really not like Miao Jian¡¯s character. However, they could not explain why. After all, the Miao and Du clans had fought for so long, and the existence who understood their enemies the most was their opponent. Du Nanfeng felt that he understood Miao Jian quite well. Seeing them walk toward Lin Mo, he could not help but say, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s follow them and see what¡¯s going on.¡± Seeing the Miao clan walk over, Wu Jin frowned and could not help but remind Lin Mo, ¡°Master, be careful. They don¡¯t come with good intentions.¡± Everyone could see that Miao Jian also wanted the Broken Cloud Sword Manual, but he did not manage to bid for it. The conflict with Du Nanfeng and the others earlier was also seen by everyone. It was hard to say if they would vent their anger on Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo was not afraid at all. He did not believe that Miao Jian had the guts to make a move right now. Unexpectedly, Miao Jian¡¯s attitude was very calm. It could even be said that he was amiable. ¡°Previously, I was a little unhappy with Mr. Lin, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was all a misunderstanding. I hope you can give me a chance invite you to my abode to hold a banquet to apologize to you.¡± These words were heard by Du Nanfeng and the others who had rushed over from behind. They could not help but mutter, ¡°The sun has risen from the west! Miao Jian lowered his head to admit his mistake. This is really strange.¡± The father and son looked at each other. This really did not seem like Miao Jian¡¯s style. ¡°Could it be that he realized that Lin Mo is powerful and he wants to mend their relationship? Not only can Lin Mo take out a sixth-level medicinal pill, but he also has a seventh-level sword manual.¡± It was not impossible, but based on Miao Jian¡¯s character, he was someone who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. If he did not let Lin Mo off the hook, he would definitely not let this matter rest. How could he so easily make peace now? Seeing that Lin Mo did not reply immediately, Miao Jian continued, ¡°After all, we¡¯re still in Qingyang City and we¡¯ll meet each other often. I even prepared some small gifts. I hope that I can meet you with a smile and forget about the enmity between us.¡± Miao Jian¡¯s attitude was so low. After all, he was the leader of the four great clans. If Lin Mo rejected him, it would be a matter of public opinion. He would say things like Lin Mo was arrogant and did not know how to appreciate favors. Wu Jin reminded Lin Mo in a low voice, ¡°Things are bound to go wrong. I think Master should be more careful. Why don¡¯t you just find an excuse to reject him?¡± Lin Mo naturally knew the reason behind it. After all, he and Miao Jian had a deep grudge, and they had offended each other several times. In addition to the interference of the Lin clan, no matter how he looked at it, there was no way for them to be on good terms. Since he knew that the other party had malicious intentions, he had to be on guard and would not step into the other party¡¯s trap. However, Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts were different from others. ¡°Since the leader of the Miao clan has extended a cordial invitation, how could I refuse? After I settle the matters at the auction, I¡¯ll immediately visit you.¡± Hearing these words, Miao Yan, who was at the side, immediately revealed a malicious smile. On the other hand, Miao Jian¡¯s expression remained the same. There seemed to be a layer of faint fog deep within his eyes, and the true expression on his face could not be seen clearly. Chapter 65 - The Collusion Between the Lin and Miao Clans. The Emergence of a Chapter 65 The Collusion Between the Lin and Miao Clans. The Emergence of a Conspiracy Even though Miao Jian was smiling, he still felt as if he was wearing a mask. ¡°Let¡¯s do it today. I¡¯ll be honored by your presence. Please don¡¯t miss the appointment, Mr. Lin.¡± When the Miao clan walked out of the auction house, Wu Jin was a little anxious. He quickly said, ¡°Why did Master agree to them? Isn¡¯t this like a sheep entering the tiger¡¯s den and never coming back? Master is leaving anyway, so there¡¯s no need to create more trouble.¡± Du Nanfeng had not left yet. He was also very surprised to hear that Lin Mo had agreed to Miao Jian¡¯s invitation. Since they were acquainted and Lin Mo had been very helpful to them, he walked over and reminded him. ¡°I¡¯ve fought with Miao Jian for so many years, and I know his character very well. He has always taken revenge. You¡¯ve offended him quite a few times before, so this invitation definitely won¡¯t be so simple. Perhaps he¡¯s looking for an opportunity to lay his hands on you.¡± Clearly, Du Nanfeng and Wu Jin had the same thought. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Since they want to invite me into their trap, why don¡¯t I go along with their wishes? It¡¯s still unknown who will win.¡± He knew that the Miao clan and the Lin clan¡¯s second elder were in collusion, and both sides had reached the point where they would not rest until one of them was dead. Sooner or later, they would make a move on him. Even if he refused this time, who knew what would happen next? ¡°It¡¯s better to take the initiative and let the Miao clan misunderstand that I have let down my guard. Let¡¯s see what kind of tricks they have up their sleeves.¡± Hearing these words, Wu Jin finally felt at ease. As long as Lin Mo was not fooled by the Miao clan¡¯s sugar-coated words, it would be good. Du Nanfeng and Du Wan also admired Lin Mo¡¯s schemes and methods. It turned out that he had seen through all of this thoroughly. ¡°It¡¯s just that Miao Jian¡¯s cultivation is powerful, and along with the other members of the Miao clan, if you go to their mansion alone, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be in danger.¡± If the members of the Miao clan really made a move, no matter how powerful Lin Mo was, he would probably end up in jail. Lin Mo was not worried about this. The current him was not the same as when he first came to Qingyang City. He was 100% confident now. Especially since he had previously trained in body refining martial arts. Even if Miao Jian was at the peak of the ninth-level spirit gathering realm, Lin Mo was still able to use his powerful four limbs to face him head-on. As for the others, they were not enough to be mentioned at all. Lin Mo did not tell the Du father and son about this. After all, this was his trump card. He only said, ¡°Since I dare to attend the banquet, I¡¯m sure that I¡¯ve made all the necessary preparations. There¡¯s no need for everyone to worry about me.¡± When Du Nanfeng heard these words, he immediately understood that Lin Mo must have some unknown secrets and methods. Otherwise, why would he dare to attend the banquet alone? After all, to be able to casually take out a fifth or sixth-level demonic beast, or even a seventh-level sword manual, Lin Mo¡¯s true cultivation might be even more formidable than he had imagined. Du Nanfeng looked at Du Wan and could not help but sigh. ¡°Why is the difference between humans so big?¡± Du Wan: ??? ¡°You and Mr. Lin are about the same age, but look at him.¡± Du Wan: ??? It was not that you could not praise Lin Mo, why must you step on Du Wan? Du Wan said with a grievance, ¡°Mr. Lin is no longer an ordinary person. How can I be compared to him? However, I¡¯m still a little worried. Even if Mr. Lin is powerful, what if the Miao clan tries to pull some underhanded tricks?¡± Du Nanfeng shook his head. His view was different from his. ¡°Wan¡¯er, you have to remember one thing. In the face of powerful strength, all plots aren¡¯t valid. Do you think that according to Lin Mo¡¯s character, he¡¯s the kind of person who does things rashly?¡± Du Wan thought for a moment and shook his head. He couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°But going alone is too¡­¡± No matter what, Lin Mo had already made his decision. The two outsiders had already said what they wanted to, and there was nothing they could do to change it. The Du father and son walked out of the auction hall. Du Nanfeng could be said to be extremely emotional this time. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve underestimated Lin Mo in the past. I¡¯m looking forward to the outcome of his trip to the Miao clan.¡± On the other side, the entire Miao clan was busy preparing for Lin Mo¡¯s arrival. Other than that, there was also an unexpected guest. However, he was dressed in a black robe and his entire body was wrapped up tightly. No one knew his true identity. However, looking at Miao Jian and Miao Yan, they seemed to be rather respectful toward him. ¡°How is your situation this time?¡± Without any outsiders present, Miao Jian finally need not hide anymore. The anger that he had accumulated finally erupted at this moment. A powerful airflow spread out in the surroundings, causing several chairs and tables to turn into dust. ¡°Lin Mo! I¡¯ll definitely tear you into pieces to vent the hatred in my heart.¡± Seeing him so furious, the black-robed man was very curious. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Miao Yao gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Lin Mo and the Du clan had colluded beforehand. We were tricked into bidding for a top sixth-level Spirit Tempering Pill, but the Du clan managed to bid a seventh-level incomplete sword manual!¡± The black-robed man was also shocked. ¡°Impossible! According to my understanding of Lin Mo, how could he possibly have a seventh-level incomplete sword manual?¡± From his tone, it seemed like he was acquainted with Lin Mo. However, it was unknown why he would collude with Miao Jian and the others. ¡°We¡¯ve seen it with our own eyes. How could it be fake? Looks like Lin Mo is even more powerful than we thought. However, he has also promised to come.¡± When the black-robed man heard this, he nodded. ¡°As long as he agrees, then we¡¯ll have a chance to find out what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°You have to know that he was banished by the Lin clan. His cultivation isn¡¯t high either, and all he has on him are some broken things. I can confirm that the things you¡¯re talking about aren¡¯t from the Lin clan.¡± Chapter 66 - He Dares to Attend the Banquet Alone! Chapter 66 He Dares to Attend the Banquet Alone! The black-robed man was extremely clear about Lin Mo. He was most likely a member of the Lin clan. It seemed that just as Lin Mo had guessed, the Miao and Lin clans were indeed in deep collusion. Miao Jian guessed, ¡°Could it be that he had some sort of fortuitous encounter outside, which caused his cultivation to increase rapidly, and as a result, able to obtain so many supreme treasures?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t rule out that possibility. You have to know that he used to be a good-for-nothing. Now that he¡¯s so powerful, it seems like he has obtained quite a number of treasures. If all of these can be obtained by us¡­¡± The black-robed man laughed sinisterly, his tone filled with greed. Miao Jian also revealed a sinister smile. ¡°Since he has so many high-grade heavenly treasures, martial arts, and weapons, he¡¯ll definitely hide them in the auction house. When the time comes for him to leave, it will be the best time for us to make our move!¡± As expected, they were up to no good! Their real target was the auction house. This was something that Lin Mo had never expected. Luring the tiger away from the mountain by inviting Lin Mo to the Miao clan, they could take this opportunity to rob them. What vicious thoughts. Miao Yan was a little puzzled as he asked, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why didn¡¯t both sides do it at the same time? Since Lin Mo has the guts to come here, we might as well just let him die.¡± However, the black-robed man said, ¡°That¡¯s not appropriate. Previously, we had also sent out assassins, but in the end, they all died without success. I think that they all fell into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. Until now, we still don¡¯t know what his true cultivation is. It¡¯s better not to act rashly.¡± What he said made sense. If both sides were to proceed at the same time, they would both have to ransack the auction house and kill Lin Mo. Such a risk would be too great for them. For the sake of safety, it would be better to make a move on the auction house first. ¡°I think that if Lin Mo returns and sees that the auction house has been ransacked, he would sure be devastated. After all, the treasures and auction hall are his hard work.¡± The expression on Miao Yan¡¯s face was a little strange. The coldness in his expression was like a venomous snake hissing its tongue, causing people to shudder in fear. He asked excitedly, ¡°Father, are we going to make a move as soon as Lin Mo arrives?¡± Miao Jian¡¯s gaze was vicious. He shook his head and said, ¡°You guys should head to the entrance of the auction house in advance and wait for him. Doesn¡¯t Yan¡¯er want revenge? It¡¯s time for you to show off your skills.¡± Miao Yan revealed a bloodthirsty smile. ¡°I can¡¯t wait. It¡¯s good enough for Lin Mo to be so relaxed for so many days.¡± At this moment, Lin Mo was completely unaware of the impending danger of the auction house. When he arrived at the entrance of the Miao clan, Miao Jian personally brought people over to welcome him. His face was filled with enthusiasm as if he had changed into a completely different person from his previous cold and ruthless self. ¡°Mr. Lin is indeed a kind person. You came as promised.¡± ¡°What are you talking about? The head of the Miao clan invited me. Why would I miss the appointment?¡± The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Those who did not know better would have thought that they had a very good relationship. In reality, they had already reached the point where they could not tolerate each other. They were only a step away from breaking through that layer of patience. It was just that they had all become sly foxes, and no one could see the strange expressions on their faces. Seeing that Lin Mo had come alone, Miao Jian¡¯s eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to have thought of something. ¡°Let¡¯s not stand at the door and talk anymore. Please come in.¡± As he spoke, he made a gesture to invite him in. ¡°Mr. Lin, please take your seat.¡± Miao Jian and his group welcomed Lin Mo in. Other than Miao Jian, there were also a few elders of the Miao clan present. It was strange to say that Miao Yan was not here. The seemingly harmonious atmosphere was actually surging with undercurrents. Lin Mo carefully observed the surrounding environment. There were no formations or traps, and he did not know what kind of show Miao Jian was going to perform next. In any case, he would take whatever came his way. Based on his strength, he was not afraid of the Miao clan at all. Miao Jian smiled faintly. ¡°Someone bring some good tea for Mr. Lin.¡± On the other side, in the auction house. It had been a while since Lin Mo had left, but Wu Jin was worried and kept pacing back and forth. He did not know why, but he kept feeling uneasy as if something big was going to happen soon. ¡°I don¡¯t know if there will be any danger. What if the Miao clan does something bad to Master?¡± Miao Qing had seen Lin Mo make a move before. He was able to kill several powerful law enforcement elders of the Miao clan in a single move. How could such a person fall into a trap so easily? ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Master is very powerful. Even if he can¡¯t win, he can retreat unscathed. We don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Even though he said that, the uneasiness in his heart did not decrease by much. ¡°The Miao clan is full of schemes and tricks. Who knows if they¡¯ll come up with some despicable means to ambush us?¡± Realizing that he still had the Miao clan by his side, Wu Jin quickly changed his thoughts. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. Although you¡¯re a member of the Miao clan, you¡¯re different from them.¡± In the beginning, Wu Jin was also wary of Miao Qing. After all, he was from the Miao clan. However, when he knew more about him, Wu Jin sympathized with him. He also knew that Miao Qing and Miao Jian were not birds of the same feather. ¡°You don¡¯t have to explain. I understand what you mean. I¡¯ve long drawn a line between myself and those people. I¡¯m also very disgraced by their actions. It¡¯s fine if I don¡¯t want such a clan! It¡¯s humiliating for my ancestors.¡± As the two of them were conversing, a cold male voice sounded. ¡°You¡¯re still boasting shamelessly even at the end of your life.¡± Dozens of black-clothed men descended from the sky. The leader of the group circulated powerful spiritual energy in his palm and struck Wu Jin¡¯s body. The surrounding air currents surged wildly. A huge palm descended from the sky with a destructive force. The floor tiles flew one after another and were overturned by this powerful force. Even the ground was cracked open with countless cracks of varying depths. Not to mention Wu Jin, who was halfway through his life. His entire body flew a hundred meters away, and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was clear that his internal organs were all heavily injured. Chapter 67 - Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain. The Crisis of the Auction House Chapter 67 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain. The Crisis of the Auction House Miao Qing hurriedly caught Wu Jin and probed him with his spiritual energy. It could be said that all the meridians in his body were exhausted. This was truly a vicious attack. Even if he were to be saved, Wu Jin would probably be a cripple and would never be able to cultivate again. Miao Qing knew that this group of people did not come with good intentions. He felt that they looked somewhat familiar as if he had seen them somewhere before. ¡°Who are you people? Don¡¯t you know whose territory this is?!¡± When the leader saw Miao Qing, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then laughed out loud and said, ¡°Miao Qing, I thought that you had died in the wilderness. I didn¡¯t expect you to become Lin Mo¡¯s dog. You were lucky enough to have escaped death previously but this time, you won¡¯t be so lucky anymore.¡± Miao Qing would never forget the familiar voice. He said in disbelief, ¡°It¡¯s you, Miao Yan!¡± Miao Yan took off his mask and sneered. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me. I was wondering why no one could find you. So, you were hiding here.¡± Thinking about how Miao Qing and Lin Mo were together, Miao Yan¡¯s anger grew. Both of them liked to go against him. He wished he could tear the two people into pieces. ¡°You guys are about to die. If you know what¡¯s good for you, hurry up and tell me where Lin Mo¡¯s treasures are. Maybe I can let you guys die with a complete corpse.¡± Miao Qing bit his lip. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± In reality, Lin Mo handled those treasures himself. He had never let others touch them, not even Wu Jin. Therefore, Miao Qing really did not know where Lin Mo kept the treasures, but Miao Yan thought he was lying. ¡°What a loyal dog. You don¡¯t even want your life. When you were in the Miao clan, why didn¡¯t I see you being so loyal?¡± Whenever Miao Yan thought about how Miao Qing had once gone against him and how he was now hanging out with Lin Mo, he could not help but curse. ¡°You have the blood of a traitor and a lowly person! You actually colluded with Lin Mo. There¡¯s no one like you in our Miao clan!¡± Miao Qing turned a deaf ear to Miao Yan¡¯s curses. Miao Yan and the others had come in full force, and they had brought so many experts with them. It would be difficult for Miao Qing to escape alone, not to mention that Wu Jin was heavily injured. It could be said that he had no way of surviving. However, he definitely would not abandon Wu Jin and save himself. ¡°Leave quickly and don¡¯t bother about me. Quickly go and inform Master¡­¡± Wu Jin spoke intermittently and feebly. He would not be able to hold on for long. ¡°But¡­¡± Wu Jin revealed a bitter smile. ¡°There are no buts. If this drags on, even you won¡¯t be able to leave!¡± Miao Yan seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the two of them. His eyes were filled with blood lust and ruthlessness. ¡°None of you will be able to walk out of this door alive today!¡± The moment he finished speaking, his subordinates all pounced over. Miao Qing was instantly entangled with them. However, how could he possibly defeat these elites of the Miao clan? Every single one of them had the strength of at least fifth stage spirit gathering realm. Not long after, several wounds appeared on his body. Miao Yan smiled coldly and looked at him as if he was a dead man. ¡°The rest of you, come with me. Let¡¯s see just how many treasures there are here!¡± Miao Qing wanted to stop them, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch as the group of people charged around like bandits. Seeing that Miao Qing was trapped, Wu Jin struggled to get up from the ground. He was clearly heavily injured and his internal organs had been crushed by the spiritual energy. No one cared about this person who was about to die. However, he seemed to have unlimited potential. With a roar, he suddenly pounced over and hugged one of the people, trying to give Miao Qing a chance to escape. ¡°Miao Qing, leave quickly and inform Master!¡± However, this kind of power was no doubt like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± With just a casual sentence, Wu Jin was once again pushed away. A huge amount of spiritual power surged over and crushed his body. Boom. This time, Wu Jin had been thrown to be a hundred meters away. Then, he landed heavily on the ground, forming a dent. A large pool of blood flowed out from under his body. He twitched a few times, and then, there was no more movement. When Miao Qing saw this scene, his eyes were red as he shouted, ¡°Wu Jin!¡± At this moment, he really hoped that a miracle could happen, similar to the last time when Lin Mo suddenly appeared and saved him. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely avenge you!¡± The Miao clan members seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and once again surrounded him. ¡°You can¡¯t even protect yourself, yet you still want to avenge this trash?¡± The color of blood spread throughout the auction hall, but Lin Mo knew nothing about it. The fragrance of the tea filled the air. It seemed peaceful but it was just a test from both sides. ¡°Since Mr. Lin is a straightforward person, then I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I think you¡¯re a very capable person, and I believe that you won¡¯t be tied down to a small city like Qingyang City.¡± Miao Jian¡¯s tone paused, and he sized up Lin Mo¡¯s expression. ¡°I have a top fifth level chaos origin pill here. I¡¯ll gift it to you as a token of my appreciation. If you don¡¯t accept it¡­¡± Miao Jian took a sip of his tea. His tone was calm, but the originally harmonious atmosphere had changed. It was as if an undercurrent had suddenly surged, and the air was a little uneasy and oppressive. It was as if a storm was about to come. How could Lin Mo not understand the meaning behind his words? He hoped that he could leave as soon as possible. First, he had to be courteous before he attacked. If he did not accept it, he was afraid that what he was waiting for would be a fight. ¡°Clap clap clap.¡± Miao Jian clapped his hands and a servant walked up with a box made of hundred-year-old agarwood. Just this box alone was worth a thousand gold coins, not to mention the items inside. Chapter 68 - Wu Jin Is Dead. Miao Qing is Seriously Injured! Chapter 68 Wu Jin Is Dead. Miao Qing is Seriously Injured! Opening the box, the fragrance of medicine assaulted his nostrils. The round pills were lined up in a row. At a glance, there were no less than ten of them. In order for him to leave, this old fox was actually willing to spend so much money. Lin Mo suppressed the confusion in his eyes. Based on his relationship with Miao Jian, something is wrong. ¡°Clan head Miao is too polite. How could I not agree to such a huge sum of money for me?¡± Even if Miao Jian did not say anything, Lin Mo would still have to leave. He could even earn these dozens of pills for free. Why not? After all, the improvements that Qingyang City could bring to him were negligible. The only way was to leave this place as soon as possible and head to a better place. Previously, Lin Mo had received an invitation from the royal city. Even if he could not stay in the clan in the future, he could still go to the royal city to explore. Seeing Lin Mo agree, Miao Jian was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he would have to spend more time talking, or even fighting with each other. ¡°If this is the case, then everyone will be happy. I wonder when you will set off?¡± From his tone, it seemed like he was not willing for Lin Mo to stay in Qingyang City for even a moment longer. Lin Mo said indifferently, ¡°After a few days.¡± Miao Jian chatted for a while more. Lin Mo did not know if it was his misconception, but he kept feeling as if he was deliberately stalling as if he did not want him to leave. A faint sense of unease surfaced in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. Could it be that Miao Jian and the others could not hold it in any longer and were about to make a move? Looking around, he could sense a few powerful spiritual energies. However, they were not a threat to Lin Mo. The Miao clan was a powerful family, so how could they only have a few powerful experts? Something was clearly not right. There must be something that he had overlooked. The sense of unease in Lin Mo¡¯s heart grew stronger by the minute. The auction house! Lin Mo suddenly stood up from his chair. ¡°The sky is getting dark. I won¡¯t disturb the head of the Miao clan anymore. We¡¯ll talk again in the future if we¡¯re fated.¡± Miao Jian¡¯s gaze fell outside the window. The smile on his face deepened. ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t keep you here anymore.¡± He did not say anything to stop Lin Mo from leaving. Looking at Lin Mo¡¯s hurried back, the third elder beside him had an unconcealed killing intent on his face. ¡°It seems like this kid has sensed something and will not rest until he¡¯s done with it. We might as well make a move now to prevent any trouble in the future!¡± Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Miao Jian. ¡°Clan head, what¡¯s the meaning of this? Aren¡¯t you afraid of letting this kid escape?¡± In the face of the third elder¡¯s confusion, Miao Jian shook his head. His expression was filled with viciousness. ¡°You don¡¯t know about this. What is more despairing than letting him see all his hard work go up in flames with his own eyes?¡± ¡°Since he dared to offend the Miao clan, he¡¯ll have to pay a hundred to a thousand times the price. He¡¯ll be unable to live or die.¡± It had to be said that making one feel despair was truly vicious. The malice in Miao Jian¡¯s tone shocked those around him. ¡°Furthermore, we still don¡¯t know this brat¡¯s strength. Yan¡¯er and the others haven¡¯t returned yet. It¡¯s best not to act rashly.¡± There was another reason. If Lin Mo returned and saw the miserable state of the auction house and escaped, then Miao Jian could be certain that with his current strength, he would not be able to face off against the Miao clan. Hence, he would not have to worry about the future. Lin Mo quickened his footsteps and returned to the auction house. However, there was a group of people standing at the entrance. ¡°It¡¯s too miserable, everyone has died.¡± ¡°Who exactly is it? How much hatred and resentment do they have to kill so cruelly?¡± ¡°The losses are quite great. I reckon all the treasures inside have been looted.¡± ¡°Life is unpredictable. This is how it is in the auction business. The danger is quite great.¡± ¡°But why do I hear that the owner of the auction house is very powerful? Even the members of the four great clans have to give him face. Who dares to touch the soil on the head of the lord?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Many people are desperate for wealth. Moreover, as long as they keep it a secret, no one will know. No matter how powerful they are, they won¡¯t be able to take revenge on that group of people.¡± Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Lin Mo¡¯s heart thumped. ¡°The owner is back!¡± Someone saw Lin Mo¡¯s arrival and shouted. The crowd was like Moses parting the sea, automatically making a path for him. Facing the pitiful gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo strode in with large strides. Everywhere he saw was blood red, and even the furnishings and chairs were smashed to pieces. It was a testament to the arrogance of this group of people. The first thing Lin Mo saw was Wu Jin. He was crushed by the violent spiritual power, and his limbs were all broken. His bones were also crushed, and it was almost impossible to see his human form. His eyes were staring at the ceiling. It was as if he had died with his eyes open. Wu Jin had long since died. Even the great gods could not do anything about it. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm. Only his eyes were deep and terrifying. It was as if the door to hell had suddenly opened, and cold air was emitted from within. ¡°Rest in peace. I¡¯ll avenge you,¡± Lin Mo said softly as if he was worried about disturbing the undead. He closed Wu Jin¡¯s eyes. Not far from Wu Jin, Miao Qing was lying on the ground, covered in wounds, bleeding profusely. It was all spiritual energy and sword wounds. There was almost no intact piece of flesh. Lin Mo checked his breathing. It was probably because of Miao Qing¡¯s powerful strength that he was still alive. He quickly let Miao Qing swallow the pill and transferred the spiritual energy to him. Finally, he pulled Miqo Qing back from the brink of death. Chapter 70 - Could It Be That Lin Mo Has Gone Mad Due to a Huge Shock? Chapter 70 Could It Be That Lin Mo Has Gone Mad Due to a Huge Shock? Lin Mo could understand. After all, although he was on good terms with Du Nanfeng, they had not reached the point where they were on life and death terms. At most, it would be a transaction, a mutually beneficial relationship. Naturally, Du Nanfeng did not need to sacrifice the future of the entire Du clan to help him. ¡°However, the Miao clan has already made a move. They are ruthless. They¡¯ll definitely not let you off. Do you want to come to my Du clan to temporarily hide from the limelight?¡± Although Du Nanfeng was unable to directly interfere in this matter, it was not a problem for him to protect Lin Mo. ¡°Even if the Miao clan knows that you¡¯re with me, I believe that they won¡¯t dare to act rashly for the time being. When the time comes, I¡¯ll think of a way to send you out of the city.¡± This was not a bad plan. Du Nanfeng was willing to lend a helping hand but who would have thought that Lin Mo would refuse? ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, clan head Du. I¡¯ll settle my own matters myself.¡± Du Nanfeng asked somewhat curiously, ¡°What are you going to do next? Are you planning to leave Qingyang City and head somewhere else?¡± Lin Mo sneered. His eyes were as dark as ink. ¡°Leave?¡± He said casually, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going to pay with blood and destroy the Miao clan.¡± It was an understatement as if it was as simple as saying what they were going to eat today. However, it was like a heavy bomb in the ears of Du Nanfeng and Du Wan. ¡°Mr. Lin, aren¡¯t you a little too traumatized?¡± Du Wan almost said whether Lin Mo was crazy or not. Even their Du clan did not have a foolproof plan. Even if the relationship between the two clans had deteriorated to such an extent, they did not dare to make a move against the Miao clan lightly. However, Lin Mo actually said that he wanted to take revenge and destroy the Miao clan. It was easier said than done to do that by himself. So what if Lin Mo was powerful? ¡°It¡¯s said that Miao Jian has already reached the fifth level of the dragon transformation stage, not to mention the other elders of the Miao clan. They aren¡¯t people to be trifled with. Mr. Lin, you should think twice.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry for your loss. A dead man cannot be resurrected. Besides, it¡¯s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If you act rashly and lose yourself in the process, it won¡¯t be worth it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If I had to say it, you might as well just leave Qingyang City and lay low for a while. When you become stronger, it¡¯s not impossible for you to come back and take revenge.¡± Du Nanfeng and Du Wan advised him, afraid that Lin Mo would act rashly and do something stupid. It was only then that they realized that since the tragedy, Lin Mo had been extremely calm and his emotions had not fluctuated at all. However, that was how he was able to make people¡¯s hair stand on end. His own auction house had clearly been destroyed by someone and his blood and sweat had been burnt to the ground. As long as one was human, one would feel joy, anger, and sorrow. Even if there was no sorrow, there would still be anger or fear. However, these emotions were not seen on Lin Mo¡¯s face. He was like a god without any emotions. ¡°I¡¯ve made up my mind. There¡¯s no longer a need for the Miao clan to exist in this world.¡± They were truly arrogant to the extreme! Hearing these words, Du Nanfeng looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. He really suspected that he was traumatized and had lost his mind. However, that pair of black eyes were incomparably deep. It was as if a mysterious universe had been birthed within them, yet it was also like an abyss that could not be directly looked at. A cold aura instantly spread throughout his entire body. At the same time, there was also an indescribable pressure. In an instant, he had a feeling that he could not wait to escape. It was as if he was walking on a tightrope on a cliff. If he was slightly careless, he would be in danger of being smashed into pieces. By the time Du Nanfeng recovered his senses, Lin Mo¡¯s figure had already disappeared. ¡°Father, what are you daydreaming about? Why didn¡¯t you try to persuade him?¡± Du Wan looked at Du Nanfeng in puzzlement. He did not understand why after a short while, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he stood rooted to the spot without saying a word. Du Wan¡¯s cultivation had not reached that realm yet, so he could not sense the pressure around him. He was like a frog at the bottom of a well, not knowing what the birds in the sky were thinking. ¡°He doesn¡¯t show his emotions. This kind of person¡¯s character is really hard to compare to.¡± Du Wan was completely confused by this sentence. ¡°Father, what are you talking about?¡± Looking at his ignorant son, Du Nanfeng smiled bitterly. ¡°Perhaps Lin Mo¡¯s strength is even more powerful than we¡¯ve imagined. Perhaps he can really make the Miao clan pay the price.¡± Du Wan did not believe it. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. No matter how powerful he is, he¡¯s still a person. He was blinded by hatred. If the Miao clan was really that easy to deal with, Father, wouldn¡¯t you have made your move long ago? Why did you let them be so arrogant for so long?¡± Du Nanfeng did not know how to explain the reason to Du Wan. He only said, ¡°Now that everyone has left, there¡¯s no point in talking anymore. Send someone to keep an eye on the Miao clan. If there¡¯s any movement, report back to me.¡± At this moment, Miao Yan had also rushed back to the Miao clan with his men. ¡°How is it, Yan¡¯er? Did your trip go smoothly?¡± Miao Yan was very pleased. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Father. Don¡¯t worry about me. Everything went smoothly.¡± The black-robed man heard this and quickly asked, ¡°Did you bring back top-grade elixirs and cultivation techniques?¡± Miao Yan shook his head and said, ¡°Lin Mo is very cunning. I searched the entire auction house, but I still couldn¡¯t find the place where he stored his treasures. The storage room was filled with worthless items such as third or fourth level elixirs. The highest was around fifth level.¡± These items were simply not worth mentioning compared to what Lin Mo had auctioned earlier. The Miao clan had originally wanted to take advantage of Lin Mo¡¯s absence to wantonly plunder the treasures. However, they did not know that these items were all hidden in the system space. Other people would not be able to detect them at all. Therefore, Miao Yan returned empty-handed. Chapter 71 - Chapter 71 Chapter 71 The Demon Descends Into the World and Massacred the Miao Clan! Hearing this, the black-robed man sized up Miao Yan and the others. His gaze was somewhat inquisitive, and his tone gradually turned cold as he said, ¡°How is this possible? If he didn¡¯t keep it in the auction house, where else could he have kept it? He doesn¡¯t know our plans, so how could he possibly carry it with him?¡± Miao Yan could hear the hidden meaning in his words. ¡°You mean we can¡¯t steal those treasures!¡± The black-robed man laughed coldly. ¡°Who doesn¡¯t want top grade elixirs and cultivation techniques? We¡¯ve already agreed beforehand that these things treasures will be split 50-50.¡± Miao Yan¡¯s personality was unruly. In addition to being the only disciple of the Miao clan, he could not tolerate anyone disobeying him. At this moment, hearing the black-robed man¡¯s words, he could not care less about anything else. ¡°If you have the ability, come and search me! I didn¡¯t see how much effort your Lin clan had put in except for a few people whom you have sent to us. In this raid, the Miao clan contributed the greatest. Aren¡¯t you asking for too much for a 50/50 split?¡±. The black-robed man instantly flew into a rage of humiliation. ¡°You foul-mouthed child, how dare you be disrespectful to me?!¡± Seeing that Lin Mo¡¯s treasures had yet to be found, and they were already arguing among themselves, Miao Jian¡¯s brows furrowed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to mediate the situation. ¡°Second elder, calm down. My son is young and impetuous. Don¡¯t lower yourself to his level.¡± So, this black-robed man was the vicious second elder! Second elder laughed coldly. Considering his cooperative relationship with the Miao clan, he did not say anything in the end. ¡°Those treasures aren¡¯t in the auction house. Perhaps Lin Mo really carried them with him in his spatial ring or jade pendant, not easily shown to others.¡± This statement was not without reason. Second elder¡¯s expression became much better. ¡°Then, when you were talking to Lin Mo earlier, did you see any accessories on him?¡± Miao Jian shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t notice that.¡± If he had known that Lin Mo was so cautious, he would definitely have investigated him thoroughly. The second elder was flustered and exasperated. ¡°Then, we haven¡¯t wasted our efforts this time!¡± His goal was the pile of treasures on Lin Mo¡¯s body. If he had the support of those treasures, the second elder¡¯s faction would be able to grow and increase greatly. The future position of the Lin clan head would be within his grasp. Miao Jian comforted him. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. That brat Lin Mo has gone against us time and time again. This time, he suffered a great loss and was able to vent the hatred in his heart. One can imagine how he¡¯ll feel when he sees the scene in the auction house.¡± When Miao Yan thought of this, the pride on his face could not be concealed. If he did not have to go back and report to Miao Yan and the others, he would have really wanted to see how regretful and painful Lin Mo was at that time. However, such an ending was not what the second elder wanted. He did not kill Lin Mo and did not get the treasure. The second elder said unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you promised me. You must kill Lin Mo to prevent future trouble.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Lin Mo is like a stray dog now. He¡¯s probably running away with his tail between his legs. Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s going to come knocking on our door.¡± The moment he finished speaking, a figure crashed into the main door outside and fell heavily to the ground. ¡°Bang!¡± Miao Jian and the others were both shocked and furious. ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± This person was in charge of guarding the main door of the Miao clan. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, ¡°Clan head, Lin Mo is right outside the door!¡± Miao Yan laughed coldly and stood up from his chair, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glint. ¡°We were worried that he¡¯d escape, but who would¡¯ve thought that he¡¯d come knocking on our door? Father, let¡¯s take this great opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop!¡± However, Miao Jian was a little hesitant. Second elder said hesitantly, ¡°Lin Mo clearly knew about the tragedy at the auction house, yet he still chose to come to us at this time. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that a reckless person was blinded by hatred, then he¡¯d have a certain degree of confidence.¡± It was obvious that he was thinking the same as Miao Jian. Hearing this, Miao Yan was a little disdainful. ¡°You guys are thinking too much. No matter how powerful he is alone, how can he deal with the entire Miao clan? I originally thought that he had some brains, but now it seems that he¡¯s just so-so.¡± After saying that, he looked at the second elder with a mocking expression, obviously still brooding over the incident just now. ¡°Previously, didn¡¯t the second elder hate Lin Mo so much that you gritted your teeth? Now that he¡¯s at the door, why don¡¯t you dare to make a move?¡± After being provoked by Miao Yan, the second elder¡¯s expression turned sullen. If it was in the past, he would definitely not have any qualms about it. However, the current Lin Mo had really changed too much. Moreover, he had sent people to chase after him several times, but they were all killed by Lin Mo, so he had no choice but to be cautious. Miao Yan wanted to avenge himself, so he urged Miao Jian to make a move. ¡°Father, we¡¯ve endured for so long. Previously, Lin Mo joined forces with the Du clan to harm us so many times that we almost let them step on our heads. Now is the best time to take revenge!¡± Hearing this, Miao Jian was also a little shaken. ¡°Yan¡¯er is right. No matter how powerful Lin Mo is, he¡¯s only one person. Don¡¯t tell me that our Miao clan is afraid of him?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The second elder watched as the father and son left, his eyes flashing. In the end, he decided to hide in the dark and observe the situation first. The father, son, and a few other elders of the Miao clan were still in the courtyard. Just as they were about to rush to the main gate, they saw a figure descending from the sky. Dressed in plain clothes, he had black eyes and looked like an immortal from the heavens. However, the coldness and killing intent in his expression made him look like a devil that had descended on the world and was determined to massacre the entire Miao clan. The few elders shouted angrily, ¡°Lin Mo, how dare you trespass into the Miao clan?!¡± Lin Mo looked at them as if they were dead people and said in a cold tone, ¡°After seeing that you guys haven¡¯t come out for so long, I thought you guys were afraid. You guys are rather cowardly.¡± When the members of the Miao clan heard these words, it was as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world. They said mockingly, ¡°What a joke. Why would we be afraid of you?¡± Chapter 72 - No One Will Be Able to Leave This Place Alive! Chapter 72 No One Will Be Able to Leave This Place Alive! ¡°We haven¡¯t even gone to look for trouble with you yet. I didn¡¯t expect you to come knocking on our door first. Since you¡¯re here today, don¡¯t even think about.¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Mo. ¡°Then, don¡¯t even think about leaving this place alive!¡± When the members of the Miao clan heard this, they instantly burst into laughter. If Lin Mo had come alone and killed a few members of the Miao clan to vent his anger, perhaps they would have believed him. However, he said that he wanted to exterminate the entire Miao family. Miao Yan glared at him angrily. ¡°You still dare to boast shamelessly even when you¡¯re about to die. If you want to destroy our Miao clan, you¡¯ll have to see if you have the ability to do so.¡± Lin Mo looked at him coldly and said nonchalantly, ¡°Then, come and see if I have the ability or not.¡± ¡°Father asked me to take this brat¡¯s head.¡± Miao Jian wanted to say something but stopped himself. He did not know how strong Lin Mo was and was a little worried that Miao Yan would not be able to deal with him. However, Miao Yan already hated Lin Mo to the bone. Before he could respond, he had already stepped out to fight. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, clan head. The young master is young and promising, and his talent is outstanding. It¡¯s a good opportunity to give him some practice this time. He¡¯ll definitely be able to destroy this brat.¡± What the others said was not without reason. Moreover, if Miao Yan was in danger, he could also lend a helping hand. Lin Mo also did not have the courage to kill someone in front of him. A cold light suddenly appeared. A long sword sliced through the air as if the temperature had dropped. Even the end of the sword carried a faint blue glow, reflecting Lin Mo¡¯s cold and bloodthirsty eyes. For a moment, everyone could not tell whether the sword or Lin Mo was colder. Miao Yan let out an angry roar. Everyone¡¯s eardrums were about to be shattered. They could only see qi and blood surging all over his body. The hair on his head stood erect like a killing god as a huge tiger figure condensed behind him. The tiger¡¯s eyes were bright and full of vigor, flashing with bloodthirst and cruelty. It was exactly the same as Miao Yan. ¡°Tiger roars in the mountains and forests!¡± Miao Yan¡¯s figure was swift and fierce, leaving behind only golden lightning in the air. His movements were swift and fierce as if he was really a tiger descending the mountain. He pounced toward the enemy with a speed that was faster than lightning. ¡°It¡¯s just a beast.¡± Lin Mo held the ice soul sword in his hand. The sharp edge of the sword drew out countless sword qi. In the blink of an eye, several icicles fell one after another, and they came menacingly to wrap around Miao Yan. A look of disdain flashed across Miao Yan¡¯s eyes. ¡°So, this is all you¡¯ve got. I thought you were very powerful.¡± He clenched his hands into fists and purple lightning flowed within them. He threw a punch forward and the power of the lightning seemed to be able to shatter everything. The icicles that filled the sky were instantly shattered into pieces and were replaced by dense bolts of lightning. Even the sky and earth changed color as loud bangs rang out continuously and were deafening. Miao Yan¡¯s entire body was filled with purple energy and even the ferocious tiger behind him had grown a lot bigger. It blotted out the sky and covered the sun as if it had absorbed the power of the lightning. He walked toward Lin Mo step by step. Even the ground was trembling. He stepped on the icicles under his feet and even used all his strength to crush them, revealing a ferocious smile. The ferocious tiger behind him also opened its bloody mouth. ¡°Are you afraid now? If you surrender, I can leave your corpse intact.¡± Lin Mo dug his ears and revealed a cold expression. ¡°You¡¯re simply too noisy.¡± Hearing these words, Miao Yan became even angrier. The ferocious tiger behind him looked as ferocious as before, but upon closer inspection, he realized that it was as if it was being suppressed by something. ¡°You¡¯re still stubborn even when you¡¯re about to die.¡± No one noticed that a shadow had unknowingly enveloped the top of everyone¡¯s heads. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes also reflected this storm as if it was a projection within. ¡°I already said that the young master is invincible. Dealing with this kid isn¡¯t a problem at all. Looks like the clan head has a successor.¡± Seeing that Miao Yan had gained the upper hand, the battle was almost one-sided, and everyone started to compliment him. Hearing these words, Lin Mo revealed a mocking expression. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too early to say these things?¡± Miao Yan could not help but feel a little disdainful in his heart. Lin Mo was just trying to make a fool out of himself. ¡°Then, let me send you off on your last journey!¡± The moment he finished speaking, he rushed over quickly, leaving only an afterimage in the air. The ice that had originally fallen to the ground started to shake and slowly rose into the air. Even the sky became extremely gloomy and dark as if something was about to come out. Lin Mo gently raised his hand, and the cold light of the ice soul sword appeared once again. The strong wind blew so cold that it almost made people unable to open their eyes as if a storm was about to come. For some reason, Miao Jian suddenly felt a little flustered. Lin Mo¡¯s hand gestures were already so extraordinary. If he really made a move, his heart would thump. However, Miao Yan still thought that victory was in his grasp. He did not even realize that the danger was right in front of him. ¡°You didn¡¯t take the path in heaven but barged into hell! It¡¯s your honor to be able to die in my hands today.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The temperature seemed to have dropped even further. Even Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were frozen with a faint frost. He slowly asked, ¡°Is that so?¡± The ice soul sword slashed across the sky! Like a bolt of lightning, it carried an aura that could split the heavens and earth. It suddenly charged toward Miao Yan. He subconsciously took half a step back, but even his movements had become much slower. Miao Yan only felt a numbness between his thumb and forefinger. He lowered his head to take a look and said in disbelief, ¡°How could this be?!¡± At some point, the ice-blue crystal under his feet slowly spread out, even reaching the soles of his feet. The cold air was bone-piercing, so much so that even his movements became extremely slow. Miao Yan tried to circulate all the spiritual power in his body, but he could not muster up any strength for a long time. When Miao Jian saw this, the bad feeling in his heart grew heavier. He was just about to call Miao Yan back, but it was already too late. Chapter 73 - Decapitated Body, Dead Without a Complete Corpse! Chapter 73 Decapitated Body, Dead Without a Complete Corpse! ¡°Swish swish swish-¡° Dark clouds covered the sky as countless ice swords flew over, pressing down on Miao Yan until he could hardly breathe. His face turned pale as if he had never thought that Lin Mo would have such capabilities. He had underestimated this brat. ¡°Quickly look at what that is!¡± As the crowd cried out in alarm, an incomparably huge sword appeared in the sky. It was as if a hole had been pierced through the sky. The wind and snow raged, making everyone shudder. In the blink of an eye, the huge sword had already landed on top of Miao Yan¡¯s head. Seeing this, Miao Jian and the others felt as if their eyes were about to split open. ¡°Yan¡¯er, be careful!¡± Miao Yan circulated all of his spiritual energy to defend himself. A hazy white light rose from his body, enveloping him completely within. However, in the next second, the protective divine shield was mercilessly crushed by the sword qi as if it was as easy as crushing an ant. ¡°How did you kill Wu Jin back then?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s tone was calm, but his dark eyes were deep and terrifying. Meeting his gaze, Miao Yan felt as if he had entered hell, but he did not know that the Grim Reaper had quietly arrived. He was still provoking him. ¡°Why? Do you want to take revenge for that trash? Don¡¯t you know that I only used one move, and all the tendons and veins in his body were ruptured? He even thought of informing you on what was happening in the auction house.¡± Miao Yan revealed a creepy smile, wanting to see Lin Mo¡¯s pained and self-reproachful expression. ¡°I just watched him crawl and then stomp his body to pieces. I have to say, although he¡¯s a trash, he¡¯s still quite loyal to you.¡± His wild laughter filled the air. However, Lin Mo¡¯s expression did not change. The way he looked at Miao Yan was no different from a dead person. Those who were familiar with him knew that he was already angry. ¡°Very good.¡± Plop! In the next second, Miao Yan, who was still laughing loudly, knelt on the ground. His hands were barely holding on, and he was no longer as calm as before. Due to intense pain, he let out a furious roar, and his facial features became distorted due to the pain. The lower half of his body seemed to be gnawed by countless insects. The cold sword qi flowed through his entire body. He was horrified to discover that even the circulation of spiritual qi was affected, becoming sluggish and slow. Lin Mo looked down at him from above. ¡°This sword attack is for Wu Jin. Don¡¯t you like to break other people¡¯s meridians?¡± Miao Yan¡¯s face was deathly pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still forced himself to endure it. Gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°What are you trying to do?!¡± ¡°The wheel of fortune has turned. Now, it¡¯s time for you to taste what it¡¯s like.¡± Miao Yan was the future hope of the entire Miao clan! If the meridians in his hands and feet were severed, it would be extremely difficult to repair them in the future. Even if he did not agree to repair them, it would easily affect his foundation. This would be the end of his life. The head of the Miao clan could not be a cripple! Miao Jian shouted sternly, ¡°Lin Mo, if you dare to harm my son, even if it¡¯s at the ends of the earth, my Miao clan will hunt you down and use the cruelest criminal law in the world to make your life a living hell.¡± When Lin Mo heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. ¡°What a joke. After today, the Miao clan will no longer exist in the world!¡± This was like a trial. The moment he finished speaking, Lin Mo suddenly raised his hand, and Miao Yan let out another painful howl. Both of his hands were dripping with blood. Without any support, he fell to the ground. Even the fierce tiger behind him looked like a sick cat with all its limbs broken. The intense pain assaulted him and he almost fainted. However, there was still some spiritual energy in his body that had not been frozen. It slowly circulated and repaired his injured body. Lin Mo had done this on purpose. His goal was to hang onto Miao Yan¡¯s breath and let him suffer the greatest pain in the world. At this moment, Miao Yan confirmed the words that the Miao clan had said earlier. Life was worse than death. At this moment, Miao Yan¡¯s knees were still on the ground as if he was atoning for his sins. His meridians were completely severed and should have been like mud. However, there was a layer of solid ice under his knees that firmly nailed him to the ground. ¡°No, don¡¯t kill me.¡± Looking at the man who was walking toward him step by step, Miao Yan finally revealed a frightened expression, no longer as arrogant as before. ¡°Father, save me!¡± Miao Yan called out to Miao Jian and the others for help. However, how could they possibly go forward? Lin Mo was already prepared. The ice soul sword cut down a natural chasm in the sky and blocked the path of Miao Jian and the others. ¡°Even if the great god came today, he wouldn¡¯t be able to save you.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was expressionless as he came to Miao Yan¡¯s side. His pupils contracted slightly as if he had seen a god. An indescribable chill rose from the bottom of his heart. He even regretted offending the man in front of him. Miao Yan cried bitterly, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, I beg you. I¡¯ll agree to anything you want, even if it¡¯s all of the Miao clan¡¯s property!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± When Miao Yan heard this, he thought there was a chance, but who would have thought that Lin Mo would say something shocking next? ¡°I don¡¯t want much, I just want to hold a funeral for your Miao clan!¡± Looking at Lin Mo¡¯s cold eyes, he subconsciously shivered. This was definitely not a joke. From the looks of the battle earlier, Lin Mo definitely had the strength to do so! An unprecedented regret welled up in his heart, but it was too late. Behind him was Miao Jian¡¯s ferocious voice. ¡°Lin Mo, if you dare to touch my son, I¡¯ll definitely pull out your tendons and skin you alive. I¡¯ll make your soul sink into hell forever!¡± He released the most vicious curse in the world. Even so, it was unable to stop Lin Mo from making his move. ¡°Save me!¡± Following Miao Yan¡¯s scream, the icy blue crystal on his knee instantly spread throughout his entire body. His entire body was frozen into a huge block of ice, still retaining his life-like movements. Even the fear and panic in his eyes could be clearly seen. When Miao Yan and the rest finally broke through the obstacles that Lin Mo had set up, this was what they saw. Miao Jian shouted at the top of his lungs, stretching out both his hands, ¡°No!¡± However, Lin Mo merely glanced at him, then smiled faintly, revealing indescribable ridicule and indifference as the ice soul sword slowly descended. Countless ice shards shattered, including Miao Yan¡¯s corpse. In an instant, his head was separated from his body. He was dead without a complete corpse! Chapter 74 - A Funeral for the Entire Miao Clan Chapter 74 A Funeral for the Entire Miao Clan The members of the Miao clan could not believe their eyes as they looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground. It was difficult to piece them together. Miao Jian¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, ¡°Yan¡¯er!¡± He howled toward the sky as his grief and anger grew. The way he looked at Lin Mo was as if he wanted to swallow him alive. ¡°I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Lin Mo did not take his vicious words to heart. ¡°What a coincidence, I won¡¯t let you off either.¡± Miao Jian gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Everyone from the Miao clan, attack together. We must tear this kid into pieces! Whoever can kill him will be the next head of the Miao clan!¡± He only had one son, Miao Yan. Now that Miao Yan had died, it did not matter who the head of the Miao clan was in the future. The most important thing was that Lin Mo had to die! As soon as these words were said, everyone took action. Even though Lin Mo was powerful and had displayed extraordinary strength in the battle with Miao Yan, he must have expended quite a bit of energy after the battle. With so many of them, how could they not be able to deal with a mere Lin Mo? With this thought in mind, the members of the Miao clan could not care less about their morals. All of them swarmed forward in an open and aboveboard manner. ¡°This brat is arrogant. First, he has humiliated our Miao clan many times. Then, he schemed to harm us. Now, he has come to provoke us and even killed our young master. We must exterminate him to console our young master¡¯s spirit!¡± These words were spoken in a dignified manner. Many members of the Miao clan felt their blood boil when they heard this. Those who did not know better would think that Lin Mo was the biggest villain in the city. ¡°I have to say that your Miao clan¡¯s ability to distort black and white is really top-notch.¡± Lin Mo sneered and said, ¡°From now on, the Miao clan will no longer exist. Who would want the position of the head clan of the Miao clan?¡± me even When everyone heard this, they became even angrier. The palm of the first elder of the Miao clan emittedviolent spiritual energy. ¡°How dare you?!¡± Both of his hands turned into palms and struck out a sky-turning seal. At the same time, the power of fire elements surrounded Miao Jian¡¯s body and interweaved into a raging sea of fire. Even the sky was burning red, and the temperature was clearly rising. It was to the extent that it melted the icicles around Lin Mo. The aura of these two people shook the people around them to retreat. Their qi and blood surged, interweaving into countless strange phenomena. One of them was at the eighth level spirit gathering realm, and the other was at the ninth level spirit gathering realm. Especially Miao Jian, who was just a step away from stepping into the dragon transformation realm. It could be said that his combat strength was very powerful. The aura and spiritual energy on his body were extremely dense. A sea of fire pounced over, and even the ice soul sword in his hand seemed to become incomparably hot. He faced the encirclement and interception of two great experts. Not including the other members of the Miao clan, those other disciples also had the strength of the initial stage of the spirit condensation realm. It was enough to show that the Miao clan had a deep foundation, as expected of the most powerful family among the four great clans of Qingyang City. Just the strength of the first and second stage of the spirit condensation realm alone was close to a hundred people. Faced with so many people besieging him, Lin Mo did not show any fear. He relaxed his muscles and bones. ¡°It¡¯s good to attack together. It¡¯s really troublesome if we do it one by one.¡± When the crowd heard his arrogant tone, they became even more furious. The first elder¡¯s heaven flipping seal came menacingly. Even the ground around Lin Mo caved in, causing countless cracks to appear. The ground not too far away started to bulge slightly as if an earth dragon was turning its body over. Countless bricks and tiles were shattered by the qi, forming a huge storm that swept over. Miao Jian was furious, and he wanted to avenge his son. He cultivated fire elements and was able to counter Lin Mo¡¯s ice soul sword. Fueled by his hatred, monstrous flames spread out for a radius of ten miles, pouncing toward Lin Mo. These two people were almost at the peak of the Miao clan, one on the left and the other on the right. Under their pincer attack, Lin Mo exerted a little strength in his legs, and his entire body emitted a golden glow as the Golden Shield Art rapidly circulated within his body. It was as if he was a god made out of pure gold. Behind him, a divine statue had also condensed, and its aspect was solemn and awe-inspiring Lin Mo stretched out his hand, and the aspect behind him also did the same thing. The two combined and managed to forcefully withstand the great elder¡¯s heaven flipping seal. When everyone saw this, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. The first elder¡¯s heaven flipping seal was practically a famous ultimate skill, yet Lin Mo effortlessly withstood it with his bare hands. ¡°Just how powerful is this kid¡¯s physical body to be able to receive the heaven flipping seal?!¡± Not only was the first elder shocked but even Miao Jian was also stunned. Lin Mo¡¯s strength was even stronger than they had imagined! Just what kind of realm was he in that he could fight with his physical body? ¡°You guys only have this little bit of strength? It¡¯s not even enough to scratch my itch.¡± In the face of Lin Mo¡¯s ridicule, Miao Jian stepped on the sea of fire and came over. Everywhere he went, there was scorched earth. It seemed like he also knew how powerful Lin Mo¡¯s ice attribute was, so he avoided its sharp edge. What they did not know was that Lin Mo had made use of the special characteristics of a spirit gathering realm expert, coupled with his God Devouring Body, to be able to complete a cross-level battle. At the same time, he also possessed powerful body refining martial arts, so it was not difficult for him to take on more than one person. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t be too arrogant!¡± At the same time, the first elder followed closely behind, and countless amounts of spiritual energy gathered in the center of his palm. Lin Mo also waved his palm, and several waves of energy collided at the same time. It was as if the entire universe had collided, and as a result, the surrounding air was distorted. ¡°Rumble!¡± In an instant, the earth and mountain shook, and countless sparks flew in all directions, causing quite a number of people in the surroundings to suffer. Miserable cries rang out incessantly, and those with lower cultivation levels were even swept into it, unable to put up any resistance at all. Meanwhile, the three people in the center of the storm were all forced to retreat. Lin Mo¡¯s face was pale, and he was only forced to retreat by half a step. As for the first elder and Miao Jian, they were even more miserable. Not only were they forced to retreat by dozens of steps, but they also spat out large mouthfuls of blood. Chapter 75 - Miao Jians Explosive Power, Using Forbidden Techniques to Raise His Cultivation Chapter 75 Miao Jian¡¯s Explosive Power, Using Forbidden Techniques to Raise His Cultivation Just by looking at the injuries on both sides, one could tell who was stronger. The great elder and the other elders, along with Miao Jian, were unable to deal with Lin Mo! This realization left everyone in the Miao clan dumbstruck. Just how powerful was this man? It was truly too terrifying, exceeding everyone¡¯s expectations. ¡°Could it be that you¡¯ve hidden your cultivation, and it¡¯s not the cultivation of the dragon transformation realm at all?¡± Lin Mo wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, and said with a cold smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t hide it. It¡¯s just that my constitution and cultivation method are extremely special, so I can cross ranks to fight.¡± Miao Jian and the first elder looked at each other, and their gazes became a little solemn. ¡°Looks like we underestimated him.¡± Lin Mo was only in the dragon transformation realm, but he was already able to fight evenly with them. If this news were to spread out, it would simply be a fantasy. Miao Jian¡¯s face was ferocious. ¡°Even so, could it be that if we were to put our entire Miao clan at risk, we wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with him alone?!¡± The first elder looked at Lin Mo, who was standing motionless in front of him, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. However, at this moment, Miao Jian¡¯s head was already filled with hatred. He simply could not listen to him. His eyes were completely red, and he kept muttering to himself. A huge formation suddenly rose beneath his feet, and layers of complicated and mysterious patterns encircled his surroundings. The pressure from within actually caused Miao Jian¡¯s body to sink, and countless cracks appeared on the ground. Lin Mo frowned slightly. It was clear that Miao Jian was forcefully increasing his strength. The first elder had never thought that Miao Jian would use such a forbidden technique. ¡°Clan head, you can¡¯t! You¡¯re being silly. So what if you get your revenge in the end? Your strength will fall by half, and there¡¯s even a possibility that your cultivation might even be destroyed!¡± This was a forbidden technique that was passed down in the Miao clan. It was able to temporarily increase the user¡¯s strength and was able to cross a few realms. However, the side effects were extremely great, and if it was serious, it could even endanger one¡¯s life. ¡°I can¡¯t care about that now, as long as he dies!¡± Miao Jian¡¯s spiritual power continued to rise, and his aura instantly skyrocketed. At the same time, his left face was covered in black patterns that spread out bit by bit, just like the array formation beneath his feet. Even the flames around his body had changed color. The black flames burned fiercely, filled with an ominous aura. His gaze landed on Lin Mo as if he had climbed out of hell, bringing with it a cold chill. ¡°So what if you¡¯re able to fight beyond your cultivation level? I don¡¯t believe that you won¡¯t die this time!¡± The black flames that filled the sky surged toward Lin Mo. In an instant, the sun and moon lost their light as if the entire world had sunk into darkness. At the same time, Miao Jian was like a shadow, instantly merging into it, completely unable to discover any traces of him. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze focused slightly. At the same time, his eyes seemed to be blocked by something. His line of sight was also affected. He could only feel the cold wind roaring around him, like a bone-piercing steel blade. The Miao clan head was indeed capable. After raising his strength, Miao Jian was not to be underestimated. At the same time, he also had to guard against the great elder and the other elders hiding in the shadows to launch sneak attacks. At this moment, the battle situation was extremely disadvantageous for Lin Mo. ¡°Swish!¡± He suddenly turned his body sideways and narrowly avoided another earth spike. If his reaction was any slower, his body would have been pierced through. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s body was covered in a lot of colors. His skin and flesh were churning and fresh blood was dripping. The blood that flowed on the ground could almost form a small stream. However, he did not seem to feel any pain. The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer Lin Mo became. His black eyes seemed to hide the entire universe, and they were filled with supreme mysterious power. The Golden Shield Art continued to revolve, and his entire body was emitting a dazzling golden light. He was like a rising sun, dispelling the darkness. At the same time, the ice soul sword in his hand shot out at lightning speed. It brought with it a destructive power, and everything around him was annihilated by this majestic sword qi. Wherever the sword qi went, everything was reduced to ashes. ¡°Ah!¡± With a miserable scream, a figure fell from the sky. Miao Jian raised his head, and the malice in his eyes seemed to materialize. He said unwillingly, ¡°How did you find me?!¡± Lin Mo said, ¡°You can ask the king of hell about that!¡± With a thought, the ice soul sword split into many pieces, and the sky was filled with sword shadows. However, each sword carried an aura that could destroy the world. Miao Jian instantly had a bad premonition in his heart. In the next second, Lin Mo¡¯s cold voice sounded as if the bell of death had descended. ¡°10,000 swords return to their roots!¡± The flying sword was ready to be unleashed, and its target was the members of the Miao clan. Flowers of blood bloomed in the sky one after another, and countless members of the Miao clan had yet to react. They lowered their heads in shock, and the large hole in their chests was gurgling with blood. Their bodies slowly fell to the ground. Even before they died, they still could not believe that they had been killed in one strike. ¡°No!¡± Miao Jian¡¯s heart-wrenching cries resounded through the sky, but they could not stop the defeat. ¡°It¡¯s your turn now!¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s voice, Miao Jian could not help but shudder. For the first time, he felt regret. Why did he have to go against Lin Mo? Why did he have to collude with the Lin clan to deal with Lin Mo? Why did he have to¡­? However, at this moment, even if his intestines turned green with regret, it was useless. The great elder and a few other powerful elders were heavily injured, but they were only left with half of their lives. Looking at the countless corpses of the Miao clan members beside him as well as Miao Yan¡¯s corpse, grief suddenly rose in his heart. ¡°Even if I have to die, I¡¯ll drag you down with me!¡± The spiritual energy on his body once again erupted. His body grew like an inflatable balloon. The great elder and a few others also made a desperate gamble. ¡°Clan head, I¡¯ll lend you a hand!¡± Chapter 76 - Qingyang City Is in Shock. The Miao Clan Has Been Razed to the Ground. Chapter 76 Qingyang City Is in Shock. The Miao Clan Has Been Razed to the Ground. Miao Jian was going to self-destruct! At this moment, his hair was disheveled and he looked like a ghost. The surging aura on his body forced Lin Mo to retreat by dozens of meters. The ground around him was completely shattered. Even the entire Miao clan was on the verge of collapsing. Miao Jian was like a bottomless black hole, crazily swallowing and spitting out spiritual energy. The remaining elders of the Miao clan were channeling spiritual energy to him. The violent aura even distorted the space around him. Lin Mo did not dare to underestimate him. He did not expect that Miao Jian would be so bold by using the entire Miao clan as collateral damage to drag him down. The Golden Shield Art automatically circulated, and golden light burst out around Lin Mo¡¯s body, forming a formidable force with Miao Jian. ¡°Go to hell with me!¡± Miao Jian roared angrily and pounced toward Lin Mo. Second elder, who was watching from the corner, was so shocked that he was speechless. A barely noticeable trace of fear flashed across the depths of his gaze. ¡°Lin Mo managed to force the Miao clan to such an extent. It¡¯s truly terrifying. If he were to find out that everything was my doing¡­¡± The second elder subconsciously shivered, but he did not know that Lin Mo had long known of his vicious scheme. However, after a short while, his expression returned to normal, and his face was filled with a smile. ¡°Miao Jian is going to self-destruct. His strength is at the peak of the dragon transformation realm. In addition to the other elders, even if Lin Mo has the ability to reach the heavens, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯d be blown to pieces.¡± After removing the great worry in his heart, he could finally put an end to his worries. ¡°This won¡¯t do. I have to leave as soon as possible, or else I¡¯ll be affected as well.¡± Even if the second elder¡¯s cultivation base was not ordinary, he did not dare to be arrogant. With the self-destruction of several dragon transformation realm cultivators, it would be difficult for him to escape. At this moment, he could not help but feel fortunate. Fortunately, he did not face Lin Mo head-on at the beginning, which gave him a chance to slip away. In the next second, the situation suddenly changed. ¡°Boom!¡± The two powerful forces collided, causing huge sparks to appear in the sky. Those who did not know would have thought that the sun above their heads had exploded. The blinding light almost attracted the attention of everyone within a radius of a hundred kilometers. The aftershock swept over as if the mountains and seas had been overturned. Aura of death and destruction filled the place. Even though the second elder had long been prepared, he had never thought that the force would be so powerful. He spat out a mouthful of blood and landed on the ground. His bones and tendons seemed to have been crushed. He would need at least ten days to half a month to recover. The second elder was still in fear. He did not dare to imagine what the people at the center of the storm would look like. Most probably they were turned to ashes. The second elder, who had fled in a hurry, did not realize that there was a faint golden light flashing in the center of the explosion. At this moment, the others such as the Du clan, Huang clan, and Wang clan in Qingyang City also felt this unusual fluctuation. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Such powerful spiritual energy. When did such a peerless expert appear in our Qingyang City?¡± Those who could cause such a huge commotion were at least breaking through to the peak of the dragon transformation realm. Up until now, none of the elders of their four clans had broken through. Wang Zhong, Du Nanfeng, and the rest rushed toward the place where the commotion had occurred, only to discover that it was actually the Miao clan! Du Wan was shocked. ¡°Father! Could it be that Lin Mo and the Miao clan have already made a move? He shouldn¡¯t be in any danger, right?¡± Du Nanfeng was also in disbelief. ¡°Could it be that Miao Jian lied to all of us that he has already made a breakthrough?¡± Du Wan¡¯s heart instantly sank to the bottom. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, doesn¡¯t that mean that Lin Mo has no chance of winning?¡±. Du Nanfeng shook his head. ¡°Not necessarily. Let¡¯s go and check out the situation first.¡± The fluctuation of the spiritual power seemed to be somewhat similar to Miao Jian, but there was something different. For a moment, Du Nanfeng pinpoint what it was. When everyone arrived at the Miao residence, they were all stunned. ¡°This is¡­¡± They could not believe what they were seeing. They thought that they were hallucinating. Du Wan rubbed his eyes. There was no more Miao clan. It was clearly a pile of ruins! The Miao clan no longer existed! Even the ground was scorched and covered in black cracks. These were traces left behind by powerful spiritual energy. The lingering power had not dissipated yet, and it deeply shocked everyone. One could imagine what kind of intense battle this place had gone through. Du Nanfeng, Du Wan, and his son thought of what Lin Mo had once said. They looked at each other and were incomparably shocked. Lin Mo had actually done it! Wang Zhong swallowed his saliva and could not help but say, ¡°These were caused by Lin Mo?¡± ¡°Who else could it be other than him¡­?¡± No matter how shocking it was, the truth was right before their eyes. The Miao clan had a long history and a deep foundation. They had always been the strongest among the four great clans, not to mention the strength of Miao Jian and the great elder. They were only a few steps away from breaking through to the dragon transformation realm. However, not a single person in the entire Miao clan survived. The scene before their eyes was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone. They could not regain their senses for a long time. The air was extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak. After a long while, someone finally asked, ¡°Where are Miao Jian and the others? Are they all dead?¡± ¡°Go look for them in that pile of ashes. They might be there.¡± ¡°What about Lin Mo?¡± No one answered. Under such a terrifying battle, Lin Mo might have already died. After all, he was facing many experts. To be able to wipe out the entire Miao clan was already very good. How could he still be alive? Du Nanfeng focused on sensing the fluctuations in the ruins and could not help but sigh. ¡°This should be the self-destruction of the Miao clan. That¡¯s why they were able to unleash such a powerful force. I¡¯m afraid that no one can survive this.¡± Even so, it was enough to shock everyone. To be able to force a character like Miao Jian to self-destruct, he was a formidable figure of his generation. One could imagine how powerful Lin Mo was. Right at this moment, everyone discovered that there were specks of golden light seeping out from the depths of the ruins. ¡°Look! What¡¯s that?¡± Only a cry of alarm could be heard as the others hurriedly rushed over. Chapter 77 - Hes Not Dead Yet! Chapter 77 He¡¯s Not Dead Yet! Golden light enveloped the area like a divine halo. A figure slowly emerged from within as if he was a god from the nine heavens. The aura he emitted made people unable to help but worship him. ¡°That¡¯s Lin Mo! He¡¯s not dead yet!¡± The scene before their eyes caused everyone to be incomparably shocked, even more shocked than when they saw the Miao clan reduced to ruins. Despite the self-destruction of the Miao clan members, Lin Mo was still alive. At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, and his body was covered with terrifying wounds. In some places, one could even see white bones. However, the blood that flowed out of his body was golden in color. There were even a few top-grade medicinal pills floating around him. All of them were at the fifth rank and above, appearing just like small planets that revolved around the universe, filled with supreme profoundness. The flowing golden light was imbued with life and emitted a terrifying aura, causing everyone¡¯s scalps to go numb. No one dared to approach and only watch from a distance. Even though those top-grade medicinal pills were right before their eyes, everyone did not dare to act rashly, afraid that if they were to accidentally trigger Lin Mo, they would end up with their heads chopped off. It was not that no one was greedy. They wanted to take advantage of Lin Mo¡¯s weak state to reap some benefits. However, the Miao clan¡¯s ruins were right in front of their eyes. No matter how bold they were, they did not dare to make a move. Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong carefully felt around. Although Lin Mo¡¯s aura was weak, he was clearly still alive. ¡°He should be recovering from his injuries. That¡¯s why he¡¯s in such a state. I don¡¯t know when he¡¯ll wake up.¡± Everyone¡¯s emotions were complicated. Although Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were tightly shut and he could not sense the outside world, they had a feeling that he would open his eyes in the next second. ¡°Then, what should we do now?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not disturb him. Let¡¯s leave this place first.¡± Everyone had no objections to this. As they left, their footsteps became much lighter as if they were worried that they would disturb Lin Mo. They believed that what they saw today would be unforgettable for their entire lives. Lin Mo had destroyed the entire Miao clan single-handedly! Miao Jian, the first elder, and the other dragon transformation realm experts, as well as the Miao clan¡¯s several hundred spirit gathering realm and below experts, were all reduced to ashes. Just what kind of terrifying strength was this? However, the most important thing was that Lin Mo was able to retreat unscathed! On the way back, the expressions of the people from the three great clans were complicated, and no one spoke a word. At the same time, this news had instantly spread throughout the entire Qingyang City. ¡°Did you guys know that Lin Mo from the auction house wiped out the entire Miao clan?!¡± ¡°Impossible! Are you joking? He¡¯s actually so powerful? Miao Jian and the great elder aren¡¯t existences that can be trifled with, not to mention that the Miao clan still has so many experts.¡± ¡°Why would I lie to you? The location of the Miao clan has already been reduced to ruins. The people of the three great clans saw it with their own eyes. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go and take a look yourself. However, I advise you not to go near it. After all, that killing god is still there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing that Lin Mo might have used some secret technique to temporarily increase his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fight against so many experts of the Miao clan.¡± ¡°Such a big matter isn¡¯t something that small characters like us can discuss. It¡¯s best to be careful so as not to implicate the innocent.¡± ¡°Looks like the situation in Qingyang City is about to change again. From now on, there will only be three out of the four great clans¡­¡± Now that the Miao clan had been destroyed, the situation in Qingyang City would change. No one knew whether this matter was good or bad. The Miao clan had always relied on their strength to offend many people. Everyone was angry, but they did not dare to speak up. Their small clans had long since switched sides with the other large clans, and they all had their tails between their legs, let alone taking revenge for the Miao clan. What a joke. Even the self-destruction of the Miao clan was not enough to destroy Lin Mo. What could they do? Even if Lin Mo was heavily injured, he was not someone to be trifled with. This was the cruel reality of the world. The destruction of the Miao clan had become a topic of conversation for many people. At the same time, the name ¡°Lin Mo¡± had also spread throughout Qingyang City. When everyone mentioned it, their expressions were filled with reverence. They admired him to the extreme. No matter what methods Lin Mo used, it was an indisputable fact that he had destroyed the entire Miao clan. In the entire Qingyang City, who could do what he did? Even if the other three great clans attack together, they would not be able to do it. Every day, there were quite a number of people wandering around the Miao clan¡¯s vicinity. However, no one dared to approach Lin Mo. The pressure he emitted was simply too terrifying. Meanwhile, the golden light within the ruins became increasingly dazzling. The three great clans had already sent people to watch over the place day and night. If Lin Mo woke up, they must inform the three great clans immediately. At the moment, although Lin Mo could sense the situation in the outside world and knew that Du Nanfeng, Wang Zhong, and the rest had come, his injuries were too serious. The self-destruction of several dragon transformation realm powerhouses was not a joke. If it was not for the fact that he had cultivated the Golden Shield Art to the great circle stage, there would not be any injury in his bones and tendons. It was equivalent to possessing a powerful defensive ability, and could even withstand nirvana realm experts. In addition, his constitution was special. He was afraid that he had already become one of the piles of ashes, and was no different from those people from the Miao clan. Even so, he still needed to recuperate for a period. However, Lin Mo was not flustered at all. This trip had been a fruitful one for him. Everyone had thought that all of the assets of the Miao clan had been reduced to ashes in the explosion. However, they did not know that the moment the spiritual energy spread out, Lin Mo had already stored them in his spatial ring. It could be said that the hundred years¡¯ worth of reserves of the Miao clan had all fallen into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. The top-grade medicinal pills that surrounded him as well as the lingzhi chalcedony that was used to treat his injuries were all from the Miao clan. If Miao Jian and the others knew that Lin Mo had used the things from the Miao clan to treat his injuries, they would probably be so angry that they would climb out of hell once again. Chapter 78 - Lin Mos Breakthrough Shocks Everyone Chapter 78 Lin Mo¡¯s Breakthrough Shocks Everyone The spiritual energy within the medicinal pills was absorbed by Lin Mo, turning into specks of light that entered his body, healing his injuries. In this small space, the spiritual energy was so abundant that it was able to form a physical substance. All sorts of divine lights surrounded Lin Mo. At this moment, it was as if he was soaking in a hot spring. Every pore on his body opened as he absorbed all of this energy. To an ordinary person, refining a top sixth level medicinal pill would require at least half a month. However, to Lin Mo who possessed the God Devouring Body, he had already refined all of these top level medicinal pills within 10 days. The green life essence crazily surged into the various acupoints in his body, washing over and over again. Lin Mo could feel a certain shackle within his body loosening. Lin Mo concentrated his spirit and gathered his qi, giving off an indomitable aura. It was as if nothing could stop his advance. ¡®Break! A vast spiritual pressure surged over. In front of him, the shackle appeared incomparably weak, and cracks quickly appeared. Lin Mo seemed to have been enlightened. His spiritual pedestal was unprecedentedly empty. He seemed to have entered a mysterious world. It was difficult to describe his feelings. All in all, his body was extremely comfortable as if he had released some sort of existence. Boundless energy rushed out from the depths of the ruins, and very quickly, it was sensed by the people outside the Miao clan¡¯s residence. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Could it be that Lin Mo is about to wake up?¡± ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be. The elder of the clan said that it would take at least a month, but now¡­¡± ¡°Quickly inform the clan head!¡± Immediately, there was a flurry of soldiers and horses. Soon, Du Nanfeng, Wang Zhong, and the others arrived at the scene. Looking at the huge pillar of light in front of them that shot straight into the sky as if a miracle had descended, the few clan heads said in disbelief, ¡°What on earth is going on? Could it be that someone has entered?¡± The guards shook their heads. ¡°We¡¯ve been guarding this place day and night. No one dares to come near here. It suddenly turned out like this just now.¡± Du Nanfeng stretched out his spiritual sense. A powerful pressure came at him. The power of the instant rebound made his face turn pale. Fortunately, Wang Zhong stretched out his hand to support him. ¡°Brother Du, are you okay?¡± Du Nanfeng only managed to recover after recuperating for a while. His expression was a little surprised and complicated. He shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Lin Mo is about to break through¡­¡± This answer once again surprised everyone. ¡°He¡¯s breaking through? How long has it been?! They did not expect that there would be someone who managed to recover from his injuries and break through. Perhaps Lin Mo was the only person in the world. One had to know that everyone had witnessed Lin Mo¡¯s condition back then. His wounds were deep to the bone, and golden blood was flowing non-stop. After all, that was the power of a dragon transformation realm expert¡¯s self-destruction. According to Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong¡¯s estimations, it would take at least a few months for Lin Mo to recover. Now, in such a short period, not only had Lin Mo completely recovered but he had even broken through! However, the bigger shock was yet to come. Surging spiritual energy rushed toward them. Even from a distance, they could still feel the pressure from it. With Du Nanfeng¡¯s example, no one dared to come forward. Just by sending their spiritual senses over, Du Nanfeng was almost hit. Wang Zhong could not help but exclaim, ¡°Such pure qi and power.¡± ¡°Roar!¡± Everyone heard a dragon¡¯s roar. In the air, the phantom of a true dragon slowly took shape. Its scales sparkled under the sunlight, and it was filled with supreme majesty and divinity. Its dragon eyes were bright and full of spirit, looking down on everyone. The divine dragon waved its tail and immediately set off a wave of spiritual power, surging toward everyone. As everyone knew, this was a phenomenon that only appeared when one stepped into the dragon transformation realm. ¡°Could it be that he has just broken through to the dragon transformation realm?!¡± A heavy piece of news came crashing down. They had never expected that Lin Mo, who had destroyed the Miao clan, had not even reached the dragon transformation realm. Previously, everyone had made guesses about his strength. However, they had never expected that it would be such a situation. What was surprising was that there was still more to come. The Golden Dragon rose into the sky. At the same time, the pressure grew stronger. Even Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong could feel the intense pressure and could only avoid it. A divine bridge was erected in the sky. One could faintly see all sorts of strange phenomena in the nine-layered immortal palaces. It was clear that Lin Mo¡¯s advancement was not limited to this. ¡°Could it be that he wants to break through again?!¡± Dragon transformation realm tier one! Dragon transformation realm tier two! Dragon transformation realm tier three! Toward the end, everyone was already numb. It was not until the dragon transformation realm tier five that the aura gradually weakened. The Golden Dragon¡¯s figure slowly dissipated and entered Lin Mo¡¯s body. At the same time, he opened his eyes. It was as if two radiant suns had fallen into his pupils. The golden light disappeared in an instant and returned to the appearance of his black eyes. Lin Mo, who had broken through to dragon transformation realm tier six, was holding back his aura.However, the more it was like this, the more people did not dare to underestimate him. When he walked out of the ruins, everyone¡¯s hearts trembled. Even Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong did not dare to look him in the eye. After a moment, Du Nanfeng took a step forward and said with an extremely respectful tone, ¡°Congratulations, Mr. Lin.¡± If it was in the past, Du Nanfeng would at most feel that Lin Mo was a talented and promising junior, and he would admire him. However, with his current attitude, it was clear that Lin Mo was the superior and he was the subordinate. Wang Zhong, who was watching from the side, could not help but curse inwardly at the old fox. He quickly went forward to congratulate him. The others were the same, and they respected Lin Mo. ¡°Mr. Lin, what are your plans next? Do you want to rebuild the auction house?¡± Who would have thought that Lin Mo would shake his head? ¡°I¡¯m preparing to leave.¡± When these words were said, everyone was a little surprised. ¡°Why is that?¡± Right now, Lin Mo¡¯s strength had already far surpassed that of the second elder who wanted to kill him. Hence, even if he wanted to plot against him, he would not have the chance. In front of absolute strength, all schemes were like floating clouds. Chapter 79 - All Good Things Will Come to An End. Leaving Once Again. Chapter 79 All Good Things Will Come to An End. Leaving Once Again. Furthermore, the clan head had been a benefactor to him for many years. If it was not for his help in secret, Lin Mo would have died long ago. It was reasonable for him to return to visit him and settle the matter regarding the second elder. However, this news was like a bolt from the blue to the people in Qingyang City. If Lin Mo left, where would they find an auction house with such good treasures? Du Nanfeng could not help but come forward to persuade him to stay. ¡°Are you really not going to reconsider? Now that you¡¯ve eradicated the Miao clan, nothing can threaten you anymore. You can settle down in Qingyang City.¡± Wang Zhong also tried to persuade him. ¡°Yes, even though Qingyang City isn¡¯t big, its geographical location is extremely advantageous. If you develop well, you can have a bright future here.¡± The three great clans hoped that Lin Mo could stay, and they even faintly took Lin Mo as their leader. In the face of everyone¡¯s good intentions, Lin Mo politely declined. ¡°Thank you all, but my ambition is still not here.¡± In the face of wind and rain, a golden scale would transform into a dragon. A person like Lin Mo was clearly not someone that could be trapped in a small city like Qingyang City. ¡°Then, when do you plan to leave?¡± Now that the auction house had been destroyed by the Miao clan, Lin Mo had also eradicated the entire Miao clan. He had avenged the death of Wu Jin and the innocents. Those rare treasures were all in the spatial space, so there was nothing else to pack or clean up. ¡°I¡¯ll leave now.¡± Du Wanyi was reluctant to part with him. She even wanted to fulfill Lin Mo¡¯s wishes. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too soon? Shouldn¡¯t you stay for a few more days?¡± ¡°No, there are still some matters in the clan. I have to go back and take care of them.¡± By the time Lin Mo returned to the auction house, Miao Qing had already been waiting for him for a long time. He had already completely digested the top-grade medicinal pills that Lin Mo had given earlier. Not only had his injuries recovered but also his strength had greatly increased. ¡°Now that the Miao clan has been destroyed, my life has been saved by Master. I¡¯m willing to follow Master for the rest of my life!¡± Miao Qing was a collateral descendant. Currently, there were only a few people in his bloodline. Furthermore, he had been ostracized by Miao Jian, Miao Yan, and the others for a long period. In the end, he had even been framed and hunted down. He no longer felt a sense of belonging to the Miao clan. To him, the Miao clan had long lost their original intentions. Sooner or later, they would be destroyed. Although Lin Mo had destroyed the Miao clan, he did not kill the collateral family members. If they were up to no good, they would accompany Miao Jian and the others. Those who were well-behaved would be left to live. Perhaps they could develop well in the future. ¡°Alright.¡± It could be seen that Miao Qing¡¯s attitude was sincere and he truly wanted to repay him. Moreover, after Wu Jin¡¯s death, Lin Mo would no longer have any confidants by his side. Miao Qing would be able to fill the gap. After the two of them made some preparations, they were ready to set off. Besides the three great clans, other factions in Qingyang City had also received the news that Lin Mo was about to leave. For a moment, their emotions were a little complicated. It was unknown whether they were relieved or regretful that Lin Mo had left. It must be known that Lin Mo had only been in Qingyang City for a little over a month. It could be said that he had stirred up all sorts of storms, especially the transcendent artifacts that he had auctioned off. The factions in the city had all been affected. However, the biggest change was the destruction of the Miao clan. Before this, the situation of the four great clans in the city had already been going on for a hundred years. Although there had been some changes during this period, they had all been extremely small. No one had expected that the Miao clan would be the most powerful of the four great clans. Now, they had turned into ruins overnight. One could not help but sigh at the impermanence of the world. With the destruction of the Miao clan¡¯s direct line of descent, the collateral line could not hold on. Without the support of financial resources and reputation, the Miao clan¡¯s auction house was also gone. However, the collateral line could be considered content. They did not dare to ask for too much as they were afraid of going down the same path as the Miao clan. Lin Mo had managed to do so all by himself. Furthermore, he had recovered in such a short period. Furthermore, his cultivation had advanced by a huge step. The people from the other factions could not help but feel an inexplicable fear. ¡°Perhaps Lin Mo¡¯s departure is also a good thing.¡± ¡°Since he has the ability to destroy the Miao clan, the other factions in Qingyang City are naturally not to be feared.¡± ¡°It would be fine if we were to befriend such a powerful opponent. However, if we were to become enemies, it would be too terrifying. The fate of the Miao clan is the best example.¡± If Lin Mo suddenly became excited and wanted to consolidate all the factions in Qingyang City, no one would be a match for him. Even the other clan leaders who were on good terms with him could not help but have this thought. At this moment, no matter what these forces thought, they all came to send Lin Mo off. ¡°Mr. Lin has high aspirations and high expectations. I believe that he¡¯ll be able to accomplish great things outside. If that happens, don¡¯t forget us.¡± Everyone exchanged pleasantries. Compared to the polite words of the clan leaders, those juniors seemed to have a more harmonious relationship with Lin Mo. ¡°Sigh, I still want to spar with you. I didn¡¯t expect you to leave so soon.¡± Lin Mo smiled slightly. ¡°There will always be a chance in the future. Moreover, didn¡¯t you all receive an invitation from the royal family to go to the Imperial City? We¡¯ll meet again at that time.¡± ¡°Good! Don¡¯t forget, we¡¯ll meet again in the Imperial City!¡± Wang Qing, Du Wan, Huang Zhiyun, Huang Zhirou, and the others were all looking forward to the upcoming trip to the capital. The people of the three great clans were also happy to see their juniors get on good terms with Lin Mo. if they could receive his guidance, their cultivation would probably rise even higher. ¡°We must part ways after sending you off for a hundred meters. Please stay.¡± The crowd only stopped after sending Lin Mo a hundred meters out of the city. Chapter 80 - The Clan Leader is ill and Has Returned to the Lin Clan Again Chapter 80 The Clan Leader is ill and Has Returned to the Lin Clan Again Looking at the backs of Lin Mo and Miao Qing, Du Nanfeng and Wang Zhong could not help but sigh. ¡°For Lin Mo to be able to destroy a clan, his strength has already far surpassed us old geezers.¡± Wang Zhong silently added from the side, ¡°Moreover, he had already destroyed the Miao clan before he had even advanced to the dragon transformation realm. Now, even if the three of us join forces, we might not be his match.¡± ¡°It can be said that the younger generation surpasses us. Looks like we¡¯re really getting old. In the future, it will be this junior¡¯s world.¡± As everyone lamented, Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts also flew. He had left the Lin clan for a period and experienced two cities, Chuxin Village and Qingyang City. He had gotten to know some people who helped him a lot. Of course, he also had enemies. No matter how powerful his enemies were, Lin Mo had never been afraid of them. He knew that he still had a long way to go in the future. Perhaps he would never be able to stay in a certain place for long. However, the most important thing right now was to return to the Lin clan and deal with the second elder and the others. Even though they were no longer a threat to him, they would still show up in front of him from time to time and cause him trouble. Furthermore, Lin Mo had always been a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges. There were some things that needed to be settled properly. Midway, Lin Mo even went to visit Uncle Wang in Chuxin Village. When the people of Chuxin Village heard that Lin Mo had returned, they all came out to welcome him. Every household said that they were going to hold a banquet for three days and three nights to celebrate Lin Mo¡¯s return. This caused him to not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, under Lin Mo¡¯s strong rejection, the village chief did not make any arrangements. Uncle Wang¡¯s gaze was benevolent as he looked at Lin Mo like he was a wanderer who had returned home from afar. His hands held onto him tightly. ¡°How long do you plan to stay this time?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just here to see you. I¡¯ll be preparing to head back to the Lin clan soon.¡± Hearing this news, Uncle Wang was instantly stunned. He carefully sized up Lin Mo. Even though Lin Mo had restrained his aura, Uncle Wang could feel that Lin Mo had changed and was different from usual. As expected of someone who understood Lin Mo, Uncle Wang instantly knew the hidden meaning behind his words. His gaze became worried once again. ¡°Then, you have to be careful. The Lin clan members aren¡¯t easy to deal with. Don¡¯t let them talk you out of it.¡± Lin Mo indicated that he would take note. ¡°Uncle Wang, don¡¯t worry. Without a perfect plan, I won¡¯t act rashly. Moreover, the current me isn¡¯t the person who was miserably banished by the clan back then.¡± Uncle Wang looked at Lin Mo¡¯s determined gaze and nodded his head with great gratification. ¡°I know that you¡¯re a promising child. Sooner or later, you¡¯ll be able to accomplish great things.¡± He seemed to have thought of something. ¡°The Lin clan sent news earlier. They heard that the clan leader is unwell, and they¡¯re already considering the candidate for the next clan leader.¡± ¡°Then, I can¡¯t miss it. I believe that the second elder¡¯s bloodline is eyeing the position of the clan leader with covetous eyes. I definitely can¡¯t let it fall into their hands.¡± Seeing that Uncle Wang was living very well here, Lin Mo felt relieved. However, Uncle Wang wanted to follow Lin Mo. Now that the clan leader was ill, who knew what schemes the second elder¡¯s group would use to fight for the position of the clan leader? For Uncle Wang¡¯s safety, Lin Mo wanted to prevent something like what happened to Wu Jin from happening again. In the end, Lin Mo still did not agree. He left Uncle Wang with many top-grade pills, defensive magical artifacts, and the like. He asked the village chief to take care of him before officially setting off for the Lin clan. At this moment, the second elder had also returned to the Lin clan. ¡°Didn¡¯t the elder say that he¡¯d personally head to Qingyang City to discuss with the Miao clan how to deal with Lin Mo and obtain the treasures in his hands? How could he be in such a sorry state?!¡± Seeing the second elder¡¯s pale face and unstable breathing, it was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries. The second elder¡¯s people immediately turned pale with fright. One had to know that the current clan head¡¯s health was not good, and it was the crucial period to select the next successor. If anything happened to the second elder, their bloodline¡¯s strength would be greatly reduced. The second elder said with incomparable depression, ¡°We have all underestimated that brat¡¯s strength. Although we robbed his auction house, we didn¡¯t find anything. However, it¡¯s possible that the Miao clan took it all for themselves.¡± ¡°The Miao clan is really cunning. They¡¯ve gone too far!¡± The second elder narrowed his eyes. His expression was a little vicious and unwilling. ¡°However, the Miao clan is also a piece of trash. They¡¯re only good-for-nothing. With so many people working together, they weren¡¯t able to deal with Lin Mo. They were even forced to self-destruct. At the cost of the entire Miao clan, Lin Mo died.¡± After listening to the second elder¡¯s description, everyone could not help but suck in a cold breath. They did not expect Lin Mo to have the guts to go against the entire Miao clan. The most shocking thing was that the head of the Miao clan paid such a painful price for the entire Miao clan to exchange for Lin Mo¡¯s death. Just listening to it was enough to make people¡¯s hearts tremble. Furthermore, they all knew about Lin Mo¡¯s previous situation. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Lin Mo a cripple? How did his cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, to the point that he even had many treasures in his hands?¡± The second elder shook his head, indicating that he was not too sure either. He said with some regret, ¡°It¡¯s probably all thanks to those treasures of his. He might have obtained some fortuitous encounters along the way, but all of them have turned into ashes now.¡± Under the self-destruction of the Miao clan, even he was severely injured by that powerful spiritual power, not to mention those people in the eye of the storm. They were probably turned into ashes, along with those treasures and top-grade elixirs. The second elder and the others felt that it was a pity. ¡°No matter how much trouble he has solved, with Lin Mo¡¯s current strength, he¡¯ll definitely come back to find trouble when he grows up.¡± The second elder still did not know that not only was Lin Mo not dead, but he was also about to arrive at Lin City. Chapter 81 - Lin Mos Strategy Chapter 81 Lin Mo¡¯s Strategy The ancient city appeared in front of Lin Mo and Miao Qing. It seemed to be slightly bigger than Qingyang City. The moment Lin Mo stepped into the city, he felt an indescribable feeling. This was the city where the original owner had lived for more than ten years. ¡°Master, are we going to return to the Lin clan directly?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes darkened as he recalled the scene of the original owner being banished. He sneered. ¡°No. Previously, the Lin clan cast me out. Now, I want them to invite me back into the clan.¡± Back when Lin Mo fell from the clouds, the clan did not give up on him. They had expended a lot of resources on him. However, they discovered that not only was Lin Mo unable to break through but his body had also deteriorated and he had become a complete waste. Not only did those people led by the second elder wanted to expel him from the clan but they even wanted to strip him of his family name. If it was not for Lin Ya and the others pleading for him to stay, Lin Mo would not have been able to break through. In the end, it was the clan head who came out to mediate and asked him to go to a remote branch family in Chuixin Village to take care of the auction house there. This was the first time Miao Qing had heard Lin Mo mention these things, and he could not help but reveal a surprised expression. He had never thought that Lin Mo had such a past, and he could not believe what he had experienced to be able to grow to this day. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Master to have such a past.¡± From the peak of fifth stage of Body Refining to the current dragon transformation realm, Lin Mo¡¯s strength could be said to have soared. Miao Qing had many doubts in his heart, but he tactfully did not probe further. Lin Mo had many deep secrets. Otherwise, how could he destroy the entire Miao clan by himself? ¡°Then, what does Master need me to do?¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, ¡°Go and see if there are any shops nearby that need to be sold. I want to hold an auction here.¡± Although he did not know what Lin Mo wanted to do, Miao Qing still did as he was told. He was very efficient and immediately found a shop for Lin Mo. Furthermore, the location was not bad. After taking a short rest and putting up a sign, he would be able to open for business again. ¡°Go out and find a few people to spread the news. Tell them that the auction house is about to open and that a large number of fourth and fifth-level pills and spiritual artifacts will be auctioned. Furthermore, the prices are extremely affordable.¡± After destroying the Miao clan previously, Lin Mo had conveniently inherited all of the assets of the Miao clan. Although a portion of the resources was lost in the self-destruction of Miao Jian and the others, the remaining portion was still very sizeable. The resources were all ready, so Lin Mo could only wait for the customers to come knocking on his door. ¡°Have you heard? There¡¯s a new auction house. As it¡¯s just opened for business, all fourth and fifth-level treasures will be auctioned at low prices.¡± ¡°Is it true? Fourth and fifth-level treasures aren¡¯t ordinary items. If they¡¯re auctioned at low prices, wouldn¡¯t they incur losses?¡± ¡°Who knows? I¡¯ve heard about it from others anyway. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go take a look. Who knows, I might really be able to find something good.¡± Soon, someone appeared at the entrance. As this shop was not an auction house, Lin Mo did not really renovate it. There was only an ordinary plaque hanging outside, so it did not seem like it was an auction house. ¡°Eh, is this an auction house? It doesn¡¯t seem like it.¡± ¡°I heard that this shop used to be in the medicinal herbs business. How did it suddenly become an auction house? Could it be a mistake?¡± Everyone walked in doubtfully. It was extremely spacious. They looked around and saw that the decorations were very simple. Even the stage in the middle was built temporarily and did not seem sturdy. Lin Mo had been waiting for them for a long time. Seeing that those people were showing signs of wanting to leave, he instructed Miao Qing who was behind him, ¡°Follow what I¡¯ve taught you before. You should go and preside.¡± Miao Qing stammered, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll be the host?¡± ¡°Would it be me instead?¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to do it. I¡¯ve never done it before.¡± Lin Mo said disapprovingly, ¡°Even if you¡¯ve never eaten pork, at least you¡¯ve seen pigs run.¡± Meeting his deep gaze, Miao Qing could only brace himself and walk forward. Clearing his throat, he said as a matter of routine, ¡°Welcome, everyone.¡± ¡°Do you really have fourth and fifth-level treasures here?¡± In the face of everyone¡¯s doubts, Miao Qing did not beat around the bush. Without hesitation, he said, ¡°I now announce the first item up for auction, the low fourth-level weapon meteor hammer. The starting bid is 800 spirit stones!¡± A pair of iron hammers appeared out of thin air in his hands. The cold light was as sharp as a shooting star, and the aura it emitted was genuine. The crowd, who had originally just wanted to watch the show, widened their eyes at this moment. Although this shop looked somewhat shoddy, and the auctioneer in front of them was also a newbie, none of this was important. What was important was that the items they brought out for auction were genuine! Moreover, they were so cheap! This kind of low fourth-level weapon was worth at least five thousand spirit stones in an ordinary auction house in the city. However, it was only less than one thousand spirit stones in this place! Many people thought that they were hearing things, so they could not help but ask again, ¡°How many spirit stones did you say just now?¡± Miao Qing said expressionlessly, ¡°800 spirit stones!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bid 1,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°1,500 spirit stones!¡± ¡°2,000 spirit stones!¡± The crowd shouted their bids like crazy. In the end, the meteor hammer was sold for 3,000 spirit stones. Even so, it was still several times cheaper than other auction houses! Miao Qing did not make too much of a fuss. After the meteor hammer was auctioned off, he immediately took out the second item. ¡°Mid fourth-level spirit recovery pill. The starting price is 1,000 spirit stones.¡± A medicinal fragrance drifted in the surroundings. This kind of pill was worth at least several thousand spirit stones. The current price could be said to be filthy cheap. Everyone¡¯s mood was unprecedentedly high. Chapter 82 - The Second Elders Shock Chapter 82 The Second Elder¡¯s Shock At the same time, the system notifications in Lin Mo¡¯s mind kept ringing. [ Ding! Host bids for the low fourth-level weapon meteor hammer. ] (3,000 times return successfully triggered ] [ Acquired low fifth-level meteor hammer! ] ( Host successfully auctioned mid fourth-level medicinal plant, Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. ] [ Successfully triggered 5,000 times return. ] [ Acquired mid fifth-level Ice Lotus! ] By the time the auction ended, Lin Mo had also obtained a bunch of fourth and fifth-level medicinal pills and artifacts. However, these items were not of much use to Lin Mo at the moment. Seeing the expressions on everyone¡¯s faces, Miao Qing announced, ¡°The next auction will be held in three days. Everyone is welcome to attend. Anyone can participate unconditionally, but the prerequisite is to inform the people around you.¡± There were actually more auctions! Everyone was in disbelief. After all, all of the items in today¡¯s auction were of the fourth or fifth-level. However, the highest bid was only a few thousand spirit stones. This was something that no other auction house would dare to offer. Although they did not know what the owner of this auction house think, and whether or not he would incur losses, these were not within their considerations. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to purchase this fourth-level profound origin pill with only a thousand spirit stones. I remember that the last time at the Lin clan¡¯s auction house, it was sold for five thousand spirit stones.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also this spirit gathering jade pendant. All in all, I¡¯ve picked up a great treasure today.¡± ¡°What do you think the boss is after? Is there any problem with it being so cheap? Or is it something of unknown origin?¡± ¡°Why do you care so much? Whatever happens is the boss¡¯ responsibility. We¡¯ll hand over the money and the goods are ours.¡± Although everyone was curious, they did not mind the joy of picking up a treasure. Soon, the news spread. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already followed your instructions. I¡¯m afraid most of the people in the city already know.¡± Lin Mo nodded. ¡°You did well.¡± Miao Qing said worriedly, ¡°Last time, we auctioned nearly ten items, and the total transaction amount was less than 20,000 spirit stones. If we do it a few more times, I¡¯m afraid we¡­¡± mo Each item was sold at an incomparably low price. If it were anyone else, Miao Qing would have scolded him for being a prodigal, but the person in front of him was Lin Mo. Lin Mo knew what he was worried about. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You don¡¯t have to worry. I know what to do.¡± After all, the items were all from the Miao clan. Even if Lin Mo received compensation from them, he would not feel any heartache about spending them. Furthermore, the items returned by the system could also be used for auction, therefore, Lin Mo could still afford to spend this much. ¡°Do you know why I set the next auction to be in three days?¡± Miao Qing shook his head, indicating that he did not know. ¡°Because the Lin clan¡¯s auction will be in three days.¡± Although the Lin clan dabbled in various businesses, the auction house was still the one that they invested in the most. Moreover, the other properties were all used for the auction house¡¯s services, which were equivalent to their core assets. Miao Qing immediately understood what Lin Mo meant as a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. So, it turned out that Lin Mo was doing all of this to challenge the Lin clan. By then, everyone would be attracted to them, so who would pay attention to the Lin clan¡¯s auction house? ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve asked you to find out about the Lin clan¡¯s situation recently.¡± ¡°The Lin clan¡¯s elder has indeed rarely appeared in front of everyone recently. To the public, he said that he was in closed door cultivation and that the clan¡¯s affairs would be handled by a few elders.¡± Miao Qing seemed to have thought of something and added, ¡°The second elder has temporarily taken over the auction house.¡± Lin Mo fell into deep thought. ¡°Closed door cultivation is only an excuse to the public. It seems that the clan leader¡¯s health isn¡¯t optimistic. Right now, the Lin clan should have the upper hand over to the second elder. Otherwise, the clan leader wouldn¡¯t have given such an important affair to him.¡± Right now, the Lin clan¡¯s public opinion should be wavering. Their gazes were all fixed on the position of the next clan leader. The corners of Lin Mo¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of coldness. He took this opportunity to send a huge gift to the second elder. After all, the second elder had done so many things. It would not make sense if he did not return the favor. The second elder of the Lin clan did not know about all of this. He was issuing orders to his subordinates. ¡°There cannot be any mistakes in the auction three days later. The clan leader has high hopes for us. If anyone screws up, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± This was something that the second elder had spent a lot of effort to obtain from the clan leader. It could be said that if he was in charge of the auction house, he would be in control of half of the Lin clan¡¯s lifeblood. It was only a matter of time before he took over the entire Lin clan. Hence, he could not allow any mistakes. Otherwise, if the clan leader was unsatisfied with his ability, and if he were to side with the first elder, then everything that he had done would have been in vain. Finally, on the third day, everything was ready, but there were only a few people who came. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Normally at this time, there should be as many guests as the clouds, but why are there only so few people now?¡± Compared to the previous grand occasions, there were pitifully only a few people today. Who didn¡¯t know that the Lin clan¡¯s auction house was very powerful? Every time, there would be a fourth or fifth-level for auction. It could be said that every auction would be full of people. However, there had never been such a tragic situation as this. Faced with the second elder¡¯s question, the others also looked at each other and said in puzzlement, ¡°Reporting to the second elder, we don¡¯t know either.¡± Hearing this, the second elder was furious. ¡°How can you say that you don¡¯t know about such a big thing?!¡± After calming himself down, he suppressed the anger in his heart. ¡°Has the news been spread?¡± His subordinates nodded. ¡°Of course. Everyone knows that our auction will be held at a fixed time every month.¡± Chapter 83 - Whos Behind ThisWhos Behind This?? Chapter 83 Who¡¯s Behind This? It made sense. The auction was about to start, but not many people came. If word got out, the Lin clan would seem like a joke. If they did not figure it out, it was impossible to start the auction. ¡°Go out and find out what¡¯s going on!¡± Soon, his subordinates sent a message. ¡°Second elder, we¡¯ve found out that there¡¯s a new auction house in the city. Today is also their auction day, so everyone has gone there.¡± The second elder could not believe what he heard. ¡°A new auction house? How could they steal our customers?!¡± After all, the Lin clan¡¯s auction house had a deep foundation that no one in the city could compare to. After hearing the news, they found it hard to believe. ¡°People said that the newly-opened auction house not only had a large number of fourth or fifth-level artifacts, but the starting price was also very low. In the end, the final price was at most a few thousand spirit stones.¡± ??? If this were the Lin clan¡¯s auction house, it would be impossible to make a deal without six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands of spirit stones. No wonder those people were attracted to the new auction house. ¡°A few thousand spirit stones?! Is there such a good deal?¡± The second elder blurted out, and then his expression turned gloomy. Was this not clearly going against the Lin clan? ¡°Have you found out the background of this auction house?¡± Was it the Song clan? The Zhao clan? Or the Bai clan? Several names popped up in the second elder¡¯s mind. An auction house was not something that could be opened casually. Moreover, treasures were being auctioned at such a low price. It was simply price undercutting. If it was not for some ulterior motive, who would be willing to conduct such a loss-making business? It was even being held on this day. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like they were deliberately going against the Lin clan. The people in the city were not fools. With such a good opportunity in front of them, there was no reason for them not to go. Naturally, they would run over to the new auction house. On the other hand, no one was interested in the Lin clan. The subordinates shook their heads. ¡°We only know that it suddenly appeared a few days ago. The owner is also very mysterious. No one has ever seen him before. There¡¯s a person called Miao Qing who¡¯s in charge of managing it. However, he looks very unfamiliar. He should be from another city.¡± Miao clan! Hearing this surname, the second elder¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He recalled the Miao clan of Qingyang City. It was probably just a coincidence. ¡°Second elder, what should we do now?¡± The second elder looked at the scattered people in the hall. A wave of hostility immediately surged in his heart. ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s go and see who¡¯s the real deal!¡± He wanted to know who was so bold to oppose him. At this moment, the news of the closure of the auction had reached the ears of the first elder, Lin Yixuan, and the others. ¡°The sun has risen from the west. The second elder is actually willing to let go of such an opportunity to show off in front of the leader? Isn¡¯t he afraid of being blamed by the leader?¡± Lin Wan smiled faintly. ¡°Father, you may not know, but the second elder is helpless. Who has ever seen an auction with less than ten people? If word gets out, wouldn¡¯t it be a disgrace to our Lin clan? If it¡¯s really held on time, the clan leader will probably blame us even more.¡±. Lin Yixuan showed a puzzled expression. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Lin Wan told him everything he had gathered, and Lin Yixuan laughed. ¡°No wonder the second elder couldn¡¯t sit still. If it were me, I¡¯d close the shop.¡± ¡°The second elder shot himself in the foot this time. He went to great lengths to get this opportunity, but it was ruined by an unknown auction house.¡± Although this auction house was suspected of deliberately targeting the Lin clan, it had indirectly helped Lin Wan and Lin Yixuan instead. The second elder and the others already had the upper hand and even gained the authority to manage the auction house. If they let him show off in front of the entire city, the clan leader might favor them even more. Such a situation would be extremely disadvantageous for Lin Yixuan. Lin Wan¡¯s eyes revealed some curiosity. ¡°It¡¯s just that the owner of the auction house is extremely mysterious. I haven¡¯t found any relevant information, so I don¡¯t know who he is.¡± Lin Yixuan pondered for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s make a trip there as well, and see what kind of background this auction house has.¡± If they really did not have good intentions toward the Lin clan, then they would need to make preparations. If it was just an accident, Lin Yixuan would definitely try to rope them in. To be able to spend so much, they must be extremely powerful. After saying that, Lin Yixuan and the rest were prepared to leave. However, the second elder and the rest had already arrived at the entrance. As they looked at the small auction house in front of them, the look of disdain on their faces was obvious. ¡°Just this? It can¡¯t even be compared to a single finger of our Lin clan.¡± After they entered, they realized that it was already packed with people. There was almost no place for them to stand. The second elder¡¯s expression was as dark as ink. Originally, these people should be sitting in the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. It was this small auction house that suddenly appeared and used an extremely low price to attract everyone over. ¡°I heard that the fourth and fifth-level treasures auctioned here are extremely cheap. I wonder if it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s true. The goods are genuine. The fifth-level medicinal pills that I purchased here the day before yesterday have greatly increased my strength. Now that I¡¯m here again, I wonder if I¡¯ll be able to pick up a treasure again.¡± ¡°Oh, good for you! But there are a lot of competitors today.¡± Many people rushed over when they heard the news. The discussions of the crowd fell into the ears of the second elder and the others. Many people present recognized them. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the second elder of the Lin clan? If I remember correctly, today is also the day that the Lin clan is holding an auction. Why are they here?¡± Chapter 84 - A Good Show! Two People Going Head-to-Head Chapter 84 A Good Show! Two People Going Head-to-Head ¡°Shh! Keep your voice down. Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will hear you? Look at the crowd around you. You¡¯ll know why they¡¯re here.¡± aro ¡°I passed by the Lin clan¡¯s auction house earlier, and there were only a few people inside. This is a situation that has never happened before. No wonder they couldn¡¯t sit still.¡± ¡°Ah, it can¡¯t be. It¡¯s so miserable. They won¡¯t vent their anger on us, right?¡± ¡°The Lin clan isn¡¯t that overbearing. At most, they¡¯ll find trouble with the owner of this auction house. What does it have to do with us?¡± The others kept their expressions calm as they passed by the second elder cautiously, afraid that they would get into trouble. No matter how the crowd discussed, the auction started as usual. When Lin Mo saw the arrival of the second elder and the others, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He did not know what kind of expression the second elder would have when he saw that Lin Mo was still alive and well. Lin Mo was looking forward to it. ¡°Welcome, everyone. The first item to be auctioned is a mid fourth-level medicinal pill, Myriad Form Pill. The starting price is 900 spirit stones.¡± Miao Qing was a man of few words. He was not as eloquent as Wu Jin, so he decided to end the battle quickly. Such a clean and straightforward attitude was rare. Everyone could tell that he was not a professional. However, compared to those tardy people who liked to keep others guessing, he had a different impression. The second elder heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this person in the Miao clan. I think he shouldn¡¯t be related to them.¡± The second elder did not know that Miao Qing was being hunted by the Miao clan, so naturally, he did not know that such a person existed. Although many people present had received the news, they still held a doubt in their hearts. After all, regardless of which auction house these fourth or fifth-level medicinal pills were placed in the city, the starting price would be several thousand spirit stones. Seeing was believing. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they knew that there really was a good deal going on. ¡°Damn, isn¡¯t this too cheap?¡± Many people¡¯s blood immediately boiled, and their voices rose and fell. ¡°One thousand spirit stones!¡± ¡°One thousand five hundred spirit stones!¡± The second elder¡¯s face was gloomy as he looked at the pill on the stage. Indeed, it was the aura of a mid fourth-level, and it was genuine. He sneered and said, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s a big deal. I want to see who exactly has such great ability.¡± ¡°The second item is a mid fourth-level defensive magical treasure, the Black Turtle Spirit Armor. The starting price is 800 spirit stones!¡± ¡°The third item is a top fourth-level item¡­¡± ¡°The fourth item¡­¡± As the auction progressed, the second elder¡¯s face turned darker. Every item in the auction was around the fourth-level, and the starting price was unbelievably low. Even the Lin clan could not afford to be so generous. ¡°What a coincidence, running into the second elder here. Shouldn¡¯t you be in the auction house? It seems like you have some free time in your hands.¡± This was what Lin Yixuan saw when he rushed over. The second elder¡¯s face was extremely dark, and the people around him were far away as well. It was as if they were avoiding a flood or a fierce beast. He felt extremely happy in his heart. Seeing that Lin Yixuan was asking the question despite knowing the answer, it was obvious that he was here after receiving the news that the Lin clan¡¯s auction had to be canceled. The second elder was extremely angry and could only suppress his anger. ¡°What¡¯s the first elder doing here?¡± Lin Yixuan smiled meaningfully. ¡°Let¡¯s see if we can pick up any treasures.¡± ¡°The first elder is interested in these fourth-level items? If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.¡± Lin Yixuan did not back down in the face of the second elder¡¯s attitude. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s what made the second elder cancel the auction that was supposed to be held today.¡± The two of them went back and forth as the air filled with a tense atmosphere. Seeing that he would not be able to get anything out of it, the second elder¡¯s eyes turned and he immediately thought of something ¡°First elder, you and I are originally from the same clan so why are we fighting here? The palm and the back of the hand are all flesh. If the leader knew about the auction today, he¡¯d probably be unhappy too.¡± Lin Yixuan and the second elder had been fighting for many years. He knew that the second elder was a cunning old fox, so how could he not know what he was thinking? He remained calm as he said, ¡°Second elder, what do you mean?¡± ¡°I think first elder saw it too. The owner of this auction house must have a strong background. Maybe he¡¯s here for our Lin clan. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that he chose to hold the auction today?¡± Lin Yixuan understood the second elder¡¯s intention and deliberately said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s a coincidence.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as a coincidence in this world.¡± The second elder snorted. ¡°In my opinion, why don¡¯t you and I work together and find out the background of the other party? Maybe we can even make a contribution in front of the leader.¡± It was obvious that the second elder wanted to use him as a weapon so that he could reap the benefits. Lin Yixuan was not that stupid. Although he did not allow outsiders to harm the Lin clan, he had not figured out the other party¡¯s intention. Lin Yixuan did not plan to make a move for the time being. ¡°The leader has already said that the second elder will be in charge of the auction. If anything happens, the responsibility will naturally be borne by you. How can I overstep my authority? Otherwise, it¡¯d be a sign of your incompetence.¡± Seeing that Lin Yixuan did not fall for the trap and was secretly mocking him, the second elder put on a fake smile. ¡°Looks like the first elder wants to sit back and do nothing.¡± Lin Yixuan did not respond. ¡°Why can¡¯t the second elder handle it? Perhaps you want to hand the auction house over to me? If that¡¯s the case, I can consider it.¡± The second elder was speechless and could only watch Lin Yixuan leave. The people around him could not help but worry. ¡°If the first elder is involved, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll¡­¡± The second elder¡¯s eyes flashed with viciousness. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± When the auction was about to end, only Miao Qing was there. The person behind the scenes did not show up at all. Chapter 85 - The Appearance of the Clan Leader Chapter 85 The Appearance of the Clan Leader ¡°It seems that the owner of this auction house is extremely mysterious.¡± The second elder could not sit still. He was about to take the initiative to attack. Seeing the person sent by the second elder, a flash of understanding appeared in Miao Qing¡¯s eyes. It was just as Lin Mo had guessed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my master doesn¡¯t allow outsiders.¡± ¡°Do you know who he is? The second elder of the Lin clan is here. How dare he be so impudent here?!¡± Hearing this, Miao Qing revealed a mocking smile. ¡°Even if the heavenly king is here, it¡¯s still the same. Furthermore, it¡¯s just the second elder of the Lin clan, not the clan leader. What¡¯s the point of putting on airs here?¡± Lin Mo and the second elder were already fighting to the death, so there was no need for Miao Qing not to offend him even more ruthlessly. The second elder¡¯s face turned dark. ¡°Why, you!¡± He had always been high and mighty and had rarely heard such disrespectful words. As he held most of the power in the Lin clan, other than the incident with Lin Mo, his journey had been smooth sailing. ¡°Very good.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure was released in all directions with the second elder as the center. It was like a towering mountain, crushing down on Miao Qing. If it was the previous Miao Qing, he would not have been able to resist the second elder¡¯s pressure. Now that he had absorbed many top level elixirs from Lin Mo, he had long been reborn. Miao Qing¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he said, ¡°Second elder, is there anything else? If no, please leave.¡± The second elder looked at Miao Qing who remained calm. One had to know that he had used at least sixty percent of his cultivation earlier but the man in front of him had no reaction at all. He looked like a servant of the auction house, but he had such a high cultivation level. What if he was the owner of the auction house? The second elder could not help but feel a little afraid. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± When the second elder and the others returned to the Lin clan, they saw Lin Yixuan and the other elders waiting for him. ¡°Second elder has forgotten the rules of the clan. The clan leader sets a date every month. Usually, today is the day of the auction. It has been going on for a hundred years. Why is there a change today?¡±. The second elder knew that Lin Yixuan would not let go of such a good opportunity but he did not expect Lin Yixuan would attack so soon. He urged the other elders in the clan to find trouble with him. Before the second elder could speak, Lin Yixuan said, ¡°Maybe he just took over the auction house and was a little flustered, so he forgot about the date.¡± Hearing this, the other elders¡¯ expressions turned a little strange. They looked at Lin Yixuan and then looked at the second elder. There was no other reason. In this competition for the next heir, the second elder undoubtedly had the upper hand. Other than being on good terms with Lin Yixuan, most of the people on his side were neutral and did not dare to take the risk. Otherwise, if they stood on the wrong side, no matter which side became the next leader, they would not have a good ending. The second elder smiled coldly. ¡°How could I forget what the first elder said? It¡¯s just that there¡¯s a reason for what happened today.¡± He told the whole story of how an auction house suddenly appeared today as if he was hinting at something. ¡°It¡¯s also a coincidence. I wanted to find out who it was, but I didn¡¯t expect to run into the first elder. Those who don¡¯t know would think that the first elder had received the news long ago, so he rushed there to watch me make a fool of myself.¡± His words implied that Lin Yixuan was colluding with an outsider. Lin Yixuan wanted to make it difficult for the second elder to back down, but he did not expect him to distort the truth. Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°The second elder can eat whatever he wants, but he has to be careful of the words he says!¡± ¡°After all, I¡¯m valued by the clan leader. It¡¯s inevitable that some people will have bad intentions due to jealousy. They might even set up a scheme secretly.¡± The only thing missing was Lin Yixuan¡¯s name. The smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger. Cough cough. A series of coughs could be heard from the leader, Lin Hao. ¡°The auction house isn¡¯t open today. What happened?¡± Even the leader was alarmed by this! Lin Yixuan quickly went forward and said, ¡°Leader, didn¡¯t you have to go into seclusion to recuperate? Why are you out so soon?¡± The leader was expressionless. ¡°If I don¡¯t come out now, I¡¯m afraid you two will start fighting.¡± Lin Yixuan and the second elder looked embarrassed. ¡°Leader, that¡¯s not what we meant.¡± ¡°Then, what do you mean?¡± Without waiting for Lin Yixuan to speak, the second elder struck first. ¡°I think you¡¯ve heard, leader. I think that auction house is very strange. Maybe it¡¯s coming for our Lin clan. I closed the auction house because of this reason. I want to investigate thoroughly so that our Lin clan won¡¯t be in danger.¡± After saying that, he looked at Lin Yixuan. ¡°Unlike a certain person who can disregard the clan for his own interests.¡± Lin Hao looked at Lin Yixuan. His expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry. No one could guess his current mood. Lin Yixuan frowned. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Lin Hao said, ¡°Alright, I understand this matter. Second elder, you should investigate it thoroughly. However, the auction house still has to be held. After all, it¡¯s a rule passed down for generations. Even if you¡¯re doing it for the good of the clan, let¡¯s not change the tradition.¡± There was not any information related to the first elder and the rest in between Lin Hao¡¯s words. Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan¡¯s faces were not looking too good. From the message that was sent out, it could be seen that the leader was getting more dissatisfied with them. After dealing with these matters, Lin Hao left again. Only Lin Yixuan, the second elder, and the others remained where they were. Chapter 86 - Lin Mos Schemes Chapter 86 Lin Mo¡¯s Schemes From his expression and actions earlier, the clan leader seemed to be fair. Although he did not say anything, it was clear that he was more biased toward the second elder¡¯s side. Many people present had different expressions. After all, even after such an incident happened, the second elder was not punished. On the contrary, he said a few words that were neither light nor heavy. The people knew what the clan leader meant. It was nothing more than turning a big matter into a small one. The second elder could not help but feel proud. ¡°I say, first elder, why are you doing this? Even if the leader was alerted, he wouldn¡¯t gain anything. Besides, there¡¯s a reason for this and I¡¯m not responsible for it.¡± Lin Yixuan and the others were furious, but there was nothing they could do. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early. Who knows if you¡¯ll encounter trouble later on?¡± The second elder seemed to have thought of something, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. SC ¡°Indeed, but before that, the first person to become a wandering ghost was probably Lin Junyan. I heard that he¡¯s heavily injured and unconscious, and he hasn¡¯t woken up yet. It looks like he¡¯s doomed.¡± Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan¡¯s expressions changed. The second elder felt a little regretful, but he could not hide the schadenfreude that he felt. ¡°I heard that he also received an invitation to the capital¡¯s dao conference. What a pity. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to attend in his current state.¡± After saying these words, he left. He was extremely arrogant. Lin Wan almost could not help but rush forward, but he was forcefully pulled back by Lin Yixuan. ¡°They¡¯re simply going too far! Maybe they¡¯re involved in Junyan¡¯s injury.¡± Lin Junyan was the most talented person in the first elder¡¯s bloodline. He was also a genius that appeared in the Lin clan after Lin Mo. He even suppressed the second elder and the other elders. However, he was injured by a powerful demonic beast in an accident and was still unconscious in bed. At that time, the second elder and the others were also injured but they were not as serious as Lin Junyan. Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan were suspicious, but they could not any evidence that pinpoint the second elder. It was because of this that they were at a disadvantage in the battle for the position of the next clan leader. Lin Yixuan said helplessly, ¡°Calm down, we don¡¯t have any evidence at the moment. They might even turn around and accuse us of framing them.¡± Lin Junyan was the most promising one, and Lin Wan was sure that this was the second elder¡¯s doing. After all, it was his style to get rid of dissidents. It was because of this that Lin Hao¡¯s heart slowly shifted to the second elder¡¯s side. ¡°Then, what should we do now?¡± Lin Yixuan could not help but sigh. ¡°I originally wanted to use this to get the leader to strip the second elder of the rights to control the auction house, but who would¡¯ve thought that it doesn¡¯t work at all. Looks like we¡¯ll have to find another opportunity.¡± Lin Wan bit his lips, his eyes revealing a bit of worry. ¡°What about Junyan?¡± To treat Lin Junyan¡¯s injuries, they needed a seventh-level extreme mystic pill. However, in this large city, even the alchemists who could refine it were only able to produce sixth-level pills. ¡°We can only stabilize his injuries for now. After we find the seventh-level extreme mystic pill, we can treat Junyan.¡± Speaking of Lin Junyan, a figure appeared in Lin Wan¡¯s mind. He did not know how he was doing At this moment, Lin Wan did not know that Lin Mo, whom he was worried about, had already arrived in the city. Although Lin Mo had not returned to the Lin clan yet, he was paying close attention to their movements. ¡°The Lin clan¡¯s great elder has been using all his connections to search for the seventh-level extreme mystic pill.¡± Although Miao Qing was not as tactful as Wu Jin in handling matters, he was still powerful and it was more convenient for him to go out and learn about the ongoing in the Lin clan. Furthermore, this news was not a secret. After all, everyone knew about Lin Junyan¡¯s injury. However, no one knew about the real situation as they only heard that Lin Junyan had been cultivating in seclusion. Judging from the looks of Lin Yixuan and the others, Lin Junyan¡¯s injury should be very serious. Otherwise, they would not have said that they would pay any price to get the seventh-level pill. ¡°It¡¯s because of this that the Lin clan leader placed his attention on the second elder. Even Master¡¯s actions this time didn¡¯t have much of an impact on the second elder. He just let it go.¡± Lin Moshen knew the second elder¡¯s character. He was sinister and cunning. He would do anything to achieve his goals. Compared to the first elder, Lin Yixuan was gentle and kind. He was more righteous. In terms of scheming, he definitely could not win against the second elder. ¡°According to what I know, the second elder has interfered in this matter. He definitely wouldn¡¯t let Lin Yixuan easily find the seventh-level extreme mystic pill. After all, it wasn¡¯t easy for them to suppress the enemy.¡± Although Lin Mo did not know much about what had happened, he thought that Lin Junyan must be up to something when he was injured. Even if it was not the second elder¡¯s doing, it was definitely related to him. ¡°Master, what should we do next?¡± Lin Mo smiled playfully. It just so happened that he had the pill in his hand and he had obtained it from the Miao clan. Not only could it solve Lin Yixuan¡¯s urgent problem, but he might also find an opportunity to attack the second elder. ¡°Spread the news and say that we have the pill. The auction will start in three days.¡± Miao Qing was puzzled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t we just give them to Lin Yixuan and the rest? You¡¯re so powerful now. It doesn¡¯t matter even if you go back to the Lin clan. The second elder and the rest can¡¯t do anything to you.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°Of course we¡¯ll give them the pills, but I still need to use him to fish.¡± His eyes were extremely deep as if everything was planned out. If he were to directly kill his enemies, it would be too boring. Furthermore, even though the second elder had made several moves, Lin Mo did not have any evidence in his hands, so it would not be appropriate for him to declare war on the second elder. It would be better for him to act as he did now. The second elder and the rest thought that he was dead and gradually let down their guard. As long as Lin Mo found an opportunity, he would be able to capture all of them in one fell swoop! Chapter 87 - Lin Yixuan Comes to Seek Elixirs Chapter 87 Lin Yixuan Comes to Seek Elixirs Soon, the news spread out. The ones who could not sit still were the second elder and the others. ¡°What?! There¡¯s a seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill in that auction house? How¡¯s that possible?¡± However, the news had already spread out. There was no way that it was fake news. In addition, they had indeed auctioned many good items. The second elder and the others had no choice but to face a formidable enemy. ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy to get rid of Lin Junyan. Only then did we obtain the clan leader¡¯s attention and gradually gain the upper hand over Lin Yixuan¡¯s faction. If we let Lin Junyan recover, wouldn¡¯t it mean that he¡¯d rise again?¡± ¡°But the first elder and the others will definitely bid for that pill at any cost.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the auction house is deliberately targeting us. It seems like they have been against us several times. First, they picked the same day to snatch away the customers, and now¡­¡± The second elder¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of viciousness. ¡°Then, find an opportunity to take care of it. Let them know the consequences of offending me.¡± The people around him felt that something was wrong when they heard this. ¡°Now is a critical period. Although the clan leader didn¡¯t say anything to us previously, it¡¯s inevitable that he has some dissatisfaction in his heart. If we stir up trouble now, or if the matter isn¡¯t handled properly, I¡¯m afraid that the first elder and the others will find an opportunity and¡­¡± ¡°The owner of the auction house is extremely mysterious. We haven¡¯t found out his background yet. It¡¯s not appropriate to act rashly.¡± What they said made sense. The second elder frowned and thought for a moment. ¡°Then, we¡¯ll observe for a while before we act. We¡¯ll keep a close eye on the auction house, but we can¡¯t let the first elder and the rest get the pills!¡± The moment they received the news, Lin Yixuan and the rest sent over a request to pay a visit to the auction house. Lin Wan was slightly puzzled. ¡°The auction house is quite strange. Previously, it ruined the second elder¡¯s plans. Now, everyone in the city knows that we¡¯re looking for the seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?¡± Regardless of whether it was related to the Lin clan or not, if they were to say that they were hostile toward the auction house, they would not be able to tell much. However, it was too coincidental, which made people suspect their motives. It was not that Lin Yixuan did not think about this, but he did not know what the owner of this auction house meant. He did not know if he really had bad intentions toward the Lin clan. ¡°No matter what, this is the only chance to save Lin Junyan. As long as there¡¯s even the slightest hope, we can¡¯t give it up.¡± Lin Wan thought about the fact that Lin Junyan was still lying on the bed and could not help but sigh. He only hoped that the owner of the auction house would be easy to talk to. Miao Qing received them as guests. Before they could speak, Miao Qing said, ¡°My master already knows what the great elder wants.¡± Lin Wan looked at each other. As expected, he knew that they needed this pill. ¡°Please pass the message. As long as you¡¯re willing to give us this pill, we¡¯re willing to pay any price you ask for.¡± Miao Qing shook his head. ¡°First elder, don¡¯t worry. This pill is yours, but¡­¡± wa Soon, it was the third auction. This time, there were even more people. Almost half of the people in the city were here. It was packed to the brim. There were even many people standing outside the door. It was enough to show how much attention everyone paid to the auction house. With the momentum from the first two auctions, everyone had known about this auction house which auctioned genuine items at affordable prices. Who would not want to pick up a good thing that fell from the sky? Word spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and that was how the current situation was created. Lin Yixuan and the second elder also rushed to the scene. They were all here for the pill. Lin Wan remembered what Miao Qing had said before. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Father, can we really trust that person¡¯s words? What if he¡¯s up to something and wants to harm us?¡± Lin Yixuan was also confused. ¡°Although we don¡¯t know what his purpose is, we can only do as he says. We have no other choice.¡± After saying that, he looked at the second elder on the other side and said faintly, ¡°And from the looks of it, even if we want to get it, it won¡¯t be easy. These people will definitely cause trouble for us. We might as well trust that person for once.¡± After saying that, the second elder and the others walked over with smiles. ¡°What a coincidence, we bumped into the first elder here again. Looks like we really have a tacit understanding.¡± The first elder revealed a mocking smile on his face. ¡°Could it be that the second elder is also here for the seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill?¡± The second elder did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he admitted matter-of-factually, ¡°That¡¯s right. I express my deep sorrow regarding my nephew¡¯s matter. I heard that he needs this pill to treat his injuries. I¡¯ll definitely bid for it for him.¡± It was simply like a cat crying over a mouse. How could the second elder be so kind? Lin Wan did not believe a single word the second elder said. He coldly said, ¡°Then, there¡¯s no need for the second elder to worry. We¡¯ll settle our own matters.¡± The second elder¡¯s face darkened. ¡°What do you mean? Do you think I¡¯d deliberately harm my nephew? I couldn¡¯t bear to see him in such a situation, so I wanted to do my best. First elder, why do you have to reject my kindness?¡± Lin Yixuan did not understand his thoughts. If the pills really fell into their hands, he would find a few excuses or ways to destroy them. Or he could even be more vicious, adding other harmful herbs into the pills. When that time came, even if they suspected that the second elder was the one who did it, there would be no concrete evidence. Chapter 88 - Tit for Tat in the Auction House Chapter 88 Tit for Tat in the Auction House Lin Wan wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Yixuan. He said calmly, ¡°Since the second elder has this intention, I can¡¯t say anything. Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Looking at Lin Yixuan¡¯s back, the kindness on the second elder¡¯s face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a vicious expression. ¡°You want to get the seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill to save someone? Lin Junyan can only be a good-for-nothing for the rest of his life!¡± Soon, the auction began. ¡°The first auction item is a mid fifth-level spiritual artifact, the Life-Chasing Soul Slash. The starting price is 1,500 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°2,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°2,500 spiritual stones!¡± Perhaps it was because there were too many people who came, although the starting auction price was low, it soon rose to 4,000 to 5,000 spiritual stones. Even so, compared to the prices of the other fifth-level spiritual artifacts in the other auction houses in the city, the prices were not considered much. ¡°The second item is a top fifth-level Prajna Golden Lotus. The starting price is 2,000 spiritual stones!¡± The quality of the items auctioned this time was extremely high. Everyone competed with each other to bid, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely heated. One could only hear the voices of people shouting one after another. There were also people arguing until their faces were red. They were afraid that if their actions were slower by half a beat, they would lose the items they set their eyes upon. Even though there were indeed a few items that even Lin Yixuan and the second elder were tempted by, they were still as steady and did not participate in any of it. They only had one goal, and that was the ultimate seventh-level pill! However, they did not see it being auctioned, and a few of them started to get impatient. Miao Qing took in the situation below the stage, and as if he was trying to be mysterious, he finally announced, ¡°The final item is the ultimate seventh-level pill. The starting price is 3,000 spiritual stones!¡± The originally lively venue suddenly became quiet. Everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Yixuan. Everyone knew that he had used all sorts of connections to obtain this pill. He must be determined to get it this time. ¡°10,000 spiritual stones!¡± As expected, Lin Yixuan was the first to bid. Everyone was shocked when they heard this price and immediately increased it by several times. This kind of bidding method was rare in other auction houses. Although the pill was precious and its effect was very good, it was only targeted at a small portion of the audience. Therefore, not many people were interested in it. Although its level was high, there were only a few people who wanted it. Moreover, Lin Yixuan made it clear from the beginning that he must obtain this pill. Most people did not want to offend him, so why not make him happy and form a good relationship with him? Therefore, after a while, no one bid with him. ¡°15,000 spiritual stones!¡± The crowd quickly looked toward the voice, wanting to see who it was. Their expressions suddenly became a little strange. The person who made the bid was the one next to the second elder. Although the second elder did not directly make a move, everyone knew who the real mastermind was. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that the Lin clan¡¯s first elder and the second elder have been at loggerheads for a long time. It looks like they¡¯re preparing to fight in the arena now. I don¡¯t know who¡¯s the better one.¡± ¡°Previously, when the clan head was in control, it was still fine. Everyone was still concerned about their reputation. Now that it¡¯s time for the Lin clan to choose the next successor, these two factions can be said to be at loggerheads.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t the first elder¡¯s faction have a genius called Lin Junyan? I heard that he was heavily injured and only this pill can save him. It¡¯s because of this that this pill is necessary.¡± ¡°Ah, if the second elder gets it, wouldn¡¯t that be¡­?¡± ¡°Shh! Keep it down. The two masters are right here. Are they trying to kill each other by discussing their grudges? Be careful or we¡¯ll be the ones who get hurt.¡± As long as there was a fight between the big clans, especially for the position of the next clan leader, the area of impact would never be small. The crowd noticed the subtle atmosphere between Lin Yixuan and the second elder and their voices became even quieter. The atmosphere in the entire venue became a little depressing. Only the voices of the two people bidding drifted in the air. It seemed calm, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent. The price had already soared to 50,000 spiritual stones. Even if someone wanted to bid, they would not be able to do it. Lin Yixuan and the second elder looked at each other. He said enunciated word by word, ¡°Second elder, don¡¯t go too far.¡± The second elder did not seem to understand what Lin Yixuan meant. ¡°First elder, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying. Since it¡¯s an auction, everyone has the right to bid. Even though this is someone I know, I can¡¯t stop him.¡± Looking at Lin Yixuan¡¯s gloomy face, the second elder was extremely happy. He knew that Lin Yixuan was determined to get the pill. Otherwise, Lin Junyan would become a cripple and he would never be able to mend his meridians. Therefore, Lin Yixuan would do anything, even if he had to go bankrupt. This was the effect that the second elder wanted. Even if Lin Junyan really recovered in the future, the loss of so many spiritual stones and resources would be enough to hurt Lin Yixuan and the others greatly. They would not be able to compete with them in a short time. The rest of the matter was settled. No matter how powerful Lin Yixuan was, he would not be able to change anything. The second elder said hypocritically, ¡°First elder, although I sympathize with you, if this pill was in my hands, I¡¯d definitely take it out.¡± Lin Yixuan gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment. ¡°100,000 spiritual stones!¡± This price made everyone gasp as it exceeded the value of the pill. ¡°120,000 spiritual stones!¡± Looking at Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression, the second elder estimated that this price should be enough. It almost emptied most of his assets. He lowered his voice and ordered, ¡°If Lin Yixuan makes a bid later, there¡¯s no need to raise it anymore.¡± Chapter 89 Chapter 89: The Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill, Second Elder¡¯s Pride and Provocation The entire place was silent. For a moment, they did not know whether to call it Lin Yixuan or second elder¡¯s pride. ¡°Is there a need for that? 120,000 spiritual stones for the Extreme Mystic Pill? How many can you buy at that price?¡± ¡°It seems like the first elder really has no other choice. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be in such a situation.¡± ¡°If you ask me, the second elder is still the most ruthless. So what if the first elder is able to bid for this pill in the end? With such a high price, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll have to pay with all his wealth.¡± ¡°Even if Lin Junyan is saved in the end, the first elder¡¯s strength has been greatly depleted. It should be difficult for him to recover in a short period. It¡¯s destined that the second elder will rise in the ranks.¡± The people who had the advantage could tell the situation at a glance. Surprisingly, the first elder did not bid at the first moment, which caused a small commotion in the crowd. According to their guess, Lin Yixuan should fight the second elder to the death. The second elder was not worried about this at all. Lin Yixuan would not bid because he knew that the effect of the Extreme Mystic Pill on Lin Yixuan was too great. Moreover, he would not be able to find the second seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill in a short period. However, Lin Junyan¡¯s injury had dragged on for too long. If this continued, it would be useless even if they were able to find another pill. Just as everyone was waiting for Lin Yixuan to bid, his expression changed. In the end, everything returned to normal. He was completely different from the person who was in a hurry to bid for the pill. Lin Wan, who was beside him, was also angry. However, he calmed down after that. He could control his emotions as he pleased. It was a little too deliberate. The second elder felt a little uneasy after seeing Lin Yixuan¡¯s reaction. He could not have stopped bidding, right? Lin Yixuan was expressionless. No one could guess what he was thinking. Even the onlookers could not figure out what he was thinking. In the end, they did not hear his bid but Miao Qing¡¯s voice. ¡°120,000 spiritual stones going once!¡± ¡°120,000 spiritual stones going twice!¡± ¡­ Lin Yixuan did not make a sound when the final bid was made. The face of the person who made the bid turned extremely ugly as he looked at the second elder in panic. The second elder¡¯s face did not look any better as well. His eyes were filled with shock and then became extremely distorted. He had calculated everything but he did not expect Lin Yixuan to stop bidding! In the end, he became the sucker who paid the 120,000 spiritual stones to buy a pill that was useless to him. ¡°What should we do now? I can¡¯t take out that many spiritual stones¡­¡± The second elder¡¯s expression was distorted. An unknown fire surged in his heart, and he used a lot of strength to suppress it. Even if it was him, taking out so many spiritual stones would be difficult. ¡°Forget it. Lin Yixuan probably doesn¡¯t have so many spiritual stones. Now that the pills are with me, Lin Junyan will be a cripple in the end. If Lin Yixuan asks me for them¡­¡± The second elder snorted coldly. He had already thought of how he would humiliate Lin Yixuan later. The Lin clan¡¯s high and mighty first elder wanted to beg for mercy from him? He had a secret feeling of joy and excitement as if he had already trampled Lin Yixuan under his feet. Under such comfort, the anger in his heart dissipated. However, he did not know that there was an even bigger pit waiting for him to step into. [ Ding! Host has successfully auctioned a seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 5000 times return. ] [ Obtained eight-level Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill! ] At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. He had obtained this seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill from the Miao clan. The Miao clan¡¯s foundation was not bad and they even had this kind of pill. Just as he had guessed, the eighth-level Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill was even more powerful and its effects would be even better! The second elder came in front of Lin Yixuan and the others like a victor. He revealed a regretful expression and said, ¡°It¡¯s such a pity. Why didn¡¯t the first elder bid for this pill? I heard that my nephew¡¯s injuries are serious and we can¡¯t delay any longer.¡± Lin Yixuan only looked at him coldly and did not say anything. The second elder smiled. Although Lin Yixuan was too calm, he believed that when that time came, Lin Yixuan would be in an extremely sorry state. As he watched the second elder leave, Lin Yixuan did not leave immediately. After everyone left, he finally could not help but look for Miao Qing. Without waiting for him to speak, Miao Qing said, ¡°Please follow me.¡± He led Lin Yixuan and the rest into the guest room. ¡°Please keep this pill well.¡± Lin Yixuan could not wait to open it and take a look. He froze on the spot and said in disbelief, ¡°This pill is¡­?¡± ¡°Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill.¡± Lin Yixuan¡¯s hands started to tremble as he stammered, ¡°This, this is for me?¡± Miao Qing nodded. ¡°Master learned about Young Master Lin¡¯s injuries and it has been too long. Although the Extreme Mystic Pill can help him recover, there may be some side effects. However, the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill will not have such a situation. You can rest assured.¡± When Lin Yixuan hired someone to treat Lin Junyan¡¯s injuries, he mentioned the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill. However, this kind of pill was more troublesome and precious to refine, so it was extremely rarely seen on the market. Even obtaining the Extreme Mystic Pill was so difficult, not to mention the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill. Therefore, Lin Yixuan did not harbor any hope of obtaining it. He just did not expect that the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill was right in front of him now. Lin Yixuan asked uneasily, ¡°How many spiritual stones does this need?¡± Who would have thought that Miao Qing would shake his head? ¡°My master said that this is a gift to Elder Lin. Consider it a kind gesture.¡± Chapter 90 Chapter 90: Another Village in the Willows Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan froze on the spot, almost thinking that they were hearing things. This was an eighth-level pill. If it was in the auction house, it could be auctioned off for tens of thousands of spiritual stones or higher. Now, they were giving it away just like that. ¡°Giving it to us? Are you kidding me?¡± Lin Yixuan and the owner of this auction house met by chance. He even suspected that they were hostile toward the Lin clan because of what happened before. ¡°We won¡¯t accept rewards for nothing. How can we accept such a big gift?¡± ¡°Elder Lin, take it. This is a small token of our master¡¯s appreciation and thanks for taking care of him.¡± Hearing this, Lin Yixuan was even more confused. He could not help but ask, ¡°Do I know your master?¡± Miao Qing did not answer directly. ¡°When the time is right, you¡¯ll know. But now isn¡¯t the time yet.¡± It was not that he was deliberately mystifying. These were all Lin Mo¡¯s orders. ¡°I¡¯ll remember this favor. If there¡¯s anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know.¡± Lin Yixuan bowed deeply. At the same time, he was even more confused. Who was the owner of the auction house? How could he take out the most precious pills on the market so easily? Moreover, from Miao Qing¡¯s tone, they knew each other and that he had helped him before. No matter what, the most important thing now was to go back and treat Lin Junyan¡¯s injuries. After Lin Yixuan bade farewell to Miao Qing, he brought Lin Wan home. Along the way, Lin Wan was guessing the real identity of the owner of the auction house. ¡°Father, who do you think he is? To be able to take out an eight-level pill so easily, he must have possessed an extraordinary identity. But why did he have to be so mysterious?¡± To be honest, Lin Yixuan did not have any idea. If he had such a relationship, he would have come to ask for the pill a long time ago. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but I don¡¯t think he has any ill intentions toward the Lin clan.¡± If that person had ill intentions, he would not have offered the pill. However, Lin Yixuan was sure that they had a grudge against the second elder. Lin Wan seemed to have thought of something and could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°I don¡¯t know how the second elder offended him. If the second elder knew the truth, he¡¯d probably be so angry that he¡¯d vomit blood.¡± When Lin Yixuan and the rest received the news and came to ask for the pill, Miao Qing said that the pill had to be auctioned and the second elder had to win it. Lin Yixuan only needed to act and after the auction was over, he would get what he wanted. As expected, Miao Qing did not go back on his word and Lin Yixuan even obtained the even more precious Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill. ¡°Father, if the second elder finds out that we teamed up with the auction house and cheated them of so many spiritual stones, I can¡¯t wait to see their expressions.¡± Lin Wan was gloating over the second elder¡¯s actions. He could only say that they had brought this upon themselves. After returning to the Lin family, Lin Yixuan was still worried and gave the pill to the alchemist to check. ¡°This is the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill. Where did you find it?!¡± The alchemist looked at the smooth pill in his hand and his face was full of praise. ¡°The quality is perfect. Look at the patterns on the pill. They are like waves of the sea. This is of the highest quality.¡± Lin Yixuan¡¯s gaze fell on the bed. A young man lying there. His pale face could not hide his handsomeness. If it was not for the injury on his chest, he would have looked like a dead man at this moment. ¡°Let¡¯s not waste any time treating his injuries.¡± The alchemist quickly fed Lin Junyan the pill. At the same time, warm spiritual energy flowed out from his palm like a trickle of water, dissolving all the life essence in the pill. One after another, clouds of white mist seeped into Lin Junyan¡¯s body and repaired his damaged meridians. The unconscious man let out a muffled groan. A faint white light enveloped his body. His originally pale face was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally ice-cold limbs were also gradually warming up. This miraculous transformation was truly breathtaking. Even the alchemist was amazed by the efficacy of this pill. ¡°If it was the seventh-level Extreme Mystic Pill, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to achieve such a recovery. If I want to repair the damaged meridians, I¡¯m afraid that it will still take some time. Moreover, my foundation might even be affected. If it were the Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill, it¡¯d be different. ¡°The effects of the pill would be quickly displayed. In just a short while, his injuries would be healed. Most importantly, there are no side effects. The newly-grown meridians would be just as before or even more resilient. If Young Master is able to wake up, his cultivation would advance by a level.¡± Upon hearing the alchemist¡¯s words, Lin Wan was overjoyed. ¡°This means that Brother Jun Yan has benefited from this misfortune! Not only has his cultivation not regressed, but it can increase?¡± The alchemist nodded his head. ¡°You can say that it¡¯s all thanks to this top-grade medicinal pill. I wonder who refined it as its effects are perfect. I¡¯ve never seen something like this in my life.¡± If Lin Mo was here, he would not be making a fuss. After all, the system¡¯s product was definitely of the highest quality. Although Lin Junyan¡¯s eyes were still closed, he looked much better than before when he was half dead. ¡°When will he wake up?¡± ¡°Half a day at most, a short while at least.¡± Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan¡¯s hearts that had been hanging over for the past few days could finally be at ease. At this moment, a servant came in and whispered something into Lin Yixuan¡¯s ear. He looked angry. ¡°The second elder and the others are too much.¡± Chapter 91 Chapter 91: The Second Elder was Dumbfounded. He Had Been Scammed. Lin Wan hurriedly asked, ¡°What tricks are they up to this time?¡± ¡°The clan leader had requested our presence. I heard that it¡¯s for the capital¡¯s dao conference. It looks like the second elder has done something in secret.¡± When Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan rushed to the living room, as expected, the second elder was also there. A few other elders were there too. When they saw that everyone was here, the leader announced, ¡°I called you all here today to discuss something. The second elder suggested to me that since Lin Junyan is heavily injured, we might as well give his spot to the other disciples in the clan.¡± Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression turned extremely ugly as he looked at the second elder coldly. He was really looking for an opportunity to pick a fight all the time. The Lin clan was originally invited by the royal family, but there were not many spots. There were less than ten in total, and each elder only had one or two spots. If Lin Junyan was eliminated, then no one from the first elder¡¯s side could participate. When that happened, it would not be beneficial for Lin Yixuan and the others, let alone fighting for the position of the clan leader¡¯s successor. Lin Yixuan could not help but say, ¡°How can the clan leader disqualify Junyan?¡± This kind of opportunity was extremely rare. It was also a form of status to be able to receive an invitation to be trained in the capital. This was because not everyone had this kind of qualification. After all, the requirements were extremely stringent. If they performed well and fought for the clan¡¯s glory, the clan leader would think more highly of the performers and they would be given the priority to be chosen as the next successor. It could be said that the first elder and the others had to participate in this trip to the capital, or else the second elder and the others would be in the limelight. ¡°First elder, what you said is wrong. Now that my nephew is lying in bed, how can I participate in it? Rather than wasting this spot, it¡¯s better to give it to the other disciples in the clan so they could make a contribution to the Lin clan.¡± The second elder spoke in a pretentious manner. His words were dignified, but everyone knew of his intentions. He wanted to use this to attack Lin Yixuan and the others. ¡°As long as we find the Extreme Mystic Pill, Junyan will be able to recover. We still have time. What¡¯s the rush?¡± The second elder thought of something and smiled proudly. He pretended to be surprised. ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know that the Extreme Mystic Pill is hard to get? And as far as I know, the first elder didn¡¯t manage to get it at the auction either.¡± ¡°Even with the Extreme Mystic Pill, it¡¯d be difficult to recover in a short period. It wouldn¡¯t be too good if people underestimated our Lin clan¡¯s strength. It¡¯s better to cultivate at home. There¡¯s still a chance next time.¡± Although these words sounded nice, they were extremely hypocritical. Who knew when the next time would be? Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression gradually became calm. Now that Lin Junyan was about to wake up, he naturally did not have any worries. He said sarcastically, ¡°So, the second elder is thinking for us.¡± The second elder did not seem to hear the sarcasm in the first elder¡¯s words and tried to persuade him, ¡°First elder, I understand what you¡¯re thinking, but we have to think of the big picture first.¡± Those who did not know would think that he was worried about the Lin clan and did not have any selfish motives. ¡°Then, I thank the second elder for his concern.¡± The sudden male voice made everyone freeze on the spot. Lin Yixuan looked at the young man who walked in with a joyful expression. ¡°Junyan, you¡¯re finally awake.¡± Although he knew that Lin Junyan was about to wake up, he did not expect it to be so soon. Lin Junyan bowed and said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle, for worrying about my injury these few days.¡± The others were also shocked. They had gone to see Lin Junyan¡¯s injuries and they were very serious. ¡± Search newn0vel.0rg on google¡±.All of his meridians were damaged and ruptured. They needed the Extreme Mystic Pill to treat him. Lin Yixuan had been running around these past few days to find the Extreme Mystic Pill, but he was not successful. It was not easy to find information about the Extreme Mystic Pill, but in the end, it was successfully obtained by the second elder in an auction. They had never heard of a second Extreme Mystic Pill before. The second elder looked as if he had seen a ghost. ¡°You!¡± He clearly remembered that the extreme mystic pill was in his hands, and he had ordered people to keep a close watch on it to prevent Lin Yixuan from sending people to steal it. Lin Junyan smiled faintly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the second elder be happy to see me sober up? Why would you look like that? Could it be that you¡¯ve seen a ghost?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± The second elder stared at Lin Junyan as if a hole would form on his face. He was extremely flustered and could not figure out what was going on. Even if Lin Yixuan could get the second Extreme Mystic Pill in such a short time, how could Lin Junyan recover so quickly and even get out of bed to walk? The person in front of him had a ruddy face and no signs of serious injuries could be seen at all. Unless there was only one possibility, and that was that Lin Yixuan had someone impersonate him! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. The second elder thought about it and said, ¡°First elder, aren¡¯t you a little too bold? You actually asked someone to impersonate your son?¡± The second elder regretted his words. Even if Lin Yixuan was out of his mind, he would not ask someone to do such a thing because it was easy for others to see through him. Since they were from the Lin clan, there was naturally a way to tell if someone was impersonating another person. No matter how stupid Lin Yixuan was, he would not be so brainless. ¡°Second are you unhappy when I wake up, or am I ruining your plan?¡± Even the others looked at the second elder speechlessly. Chapter 92 Chapter 92: Shoot Yourself In the Foot Lin Junyan hit the nail on the head, leaving the second elder and the others speechless. The second elder stuttered, beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He could not say a word for a long time. Even the leader and the other elders were curious. They could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did Junyan suddenly wake up?¡± The second elder was sure that Lin Yixuan had the help of an expert. He wanted to see who dared to ruin his plan. Lin Yixuan looked at the second elder and said slowly, ¡°I have to thank someone. Although the owner of the auction house auctioned the Extreme Mystic Pill, he gave me an eighth-level Heaven and Earth Infinite Pill after the auction.¡± Hearing this, the second elder¡¯s eyes darkened and he almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence. ¡°What did you say?¡± Lin Yixuan repeated it with a smile. The second elder stumbled. If it was not for the people beside him supporting him, he would have lost face in public. His 120,000 spiritual stones! The second elder¡¯s eyes were so red that they were about to bleed. No wonder Lin Yixuan did not follow up with the bid. No wonder Lin Yixuan was so calm after the auction. He did not even come to him after the auction. So, this was it. It explained everything! The people around saw that Lin Junyan had woken up and his breathing was stable. His cultivation level was even more advanced than before. They all came forward to congratulate him. The second elder¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this scene. Lin Junyan was a genius after Lin Mo. Although he could not be compared to Lin Mo back then, he was one of the best among the younger generation. Ever since he was heavily injured, everyone thought that he was going to become a cripple. The first elder¡¯s line was also at a disadvantage against the clan leader¡¯s successor. From this, it could be seen how important he was. However, not only had he recovered, but his cultivation had also become more profound. Although the second elder still had the advantage, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be any other changes in the future. ¡°It¡¯s you! You must¡¯ve colluded with that auction house! Lin Yixuan, what a vicious man you are! How dare you conspire with outsiders to harm our Lin clan?!¡± He quickly changed his expression and complained to the leader, ¡°Leader, please stand up for me. The first elder colluded with outsiders for his own interests.¡± Lin Wan could not help but say, ¡°You¡¯re slandering me!¡± Lin Yixuan showed a mocking expression. ¡°Second elder, you¡¯re not the one who spent 120,000 spiritual stones to buy that pill. Why are you suddenly so anxious that you even slander me?¡± The second elder was choked by his words and his face turned green and red like a color palette. Although he did not make an official appearance, everyone knew that he was the one who instigated that person to raise the price with Lin Yixuan so that Lin Yixuan would not get the Extreme Mystic Pill. Even if he got it in the end, he would have to pay a huge sum of money. ¡°I. . .¡± The second elder was speechless and said angrily, ¡°You must¡¯ve colluded with the auction house. Otherwise, why would he give you such a precious pill?!¡± The second elder was so regretful that his intestines churned. 120,000 spiritual stones were almost half of his wealth. It would have been fine if it could be used. However, Lin Yixuan no longer needed it and Lin Junyan had already recovered. Now that the pill was in his hands and had no use for it, how could he not hate it? ¡°Previously, the auction house went against our Lin clan and purposely stole our customers on the same day of our auction. First elder, you have a close relationship with them. You really have ulterior motives.¡± Seeing that the second elder was acting like a mad dog and would not stop until he bit off a piece of Lin Yixuan¡¯s flesh, Lin Yixuan and the others were not afraid at all. They even had the urge to laugh. ¡°This is like shooting yourself in the foot.¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for you guys having ulterior motives and wanting to create trouble for us by not letting us bid for the pills, you wouldn¡¯t have let others find an opportunity to take advantage of you. Now you still have the nerve to say that we framed you. ¡°After all, if you don¡¯t have such thoughts in the beginning, then nothing will happen after that.¡± Lin Wan and Lin Jun Yan both chimed in, almost causing the second elder¡¯s face to turn red. It was unknown whether he was angry or embarrassed, but his facial features were distorted. ¡°No matter what, the sudden appearance of the auction house is very suspicious. First, the owner deliberately targeted me, and then he used this opportunity to bribe the first elder. It¡¯s difficult to know what his motive is.¡± Lin Yixuan frowned as he looked at the leader who remained silent. If he really believed the second elder¡¯s nonsense, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the river. ¡°Leader, it¡¯s the second elder who has ulterior motives. Everything he said was a false accusation. I definitely didn¡¯t collude with outsiders.¡± After saying that, Lin Yixuan stared at the second elder coldly. ¡°You have to take note of evidence when you speak and act. You¡¯re clearly the one who used dirty and despicable methods to frame others. This is karma.¡± The second elder was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Facing Lin Yixuan¡¯s sharp eyes, he felt guilty. However, he would not let it go so easily. ¡°Alright, you want evidence, right? I¡¯ll go to the auction house and confront the owner.¡± After saying that, the second elder said to the leader, ¡°Please give me some time, leader. I¡¯ll definitely investigate the truth.¡± His expression was extremely respectful, but his eyes were dark. The second elder swore that no matter what price he had to pay, Lin Yixuan would definitely bear the crime of colluding with outsiders! 120,000 spiritual stones! The owner of this auction hall would be forced to spit it out the same way he swallowed it! If Lin Yixuan dared to set him up, the second elder would not let any of these people off. Chapter 93 Lin Wan could not help but worry when he saw how aggressive the second elder and the others were. ¡°Nothing will happen, right?¡± No one thought that the leader would agree to the second elder¡¯s request. Although Lin Junyan had woken up, he would not be able to shake the status of the second elder and the others for a while. Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression was calm, but Lin Junyan¡¯s joy when he regained consciousness decreased a little. After all, no one would be happy if they were bitten by a mad dog. ¡°The second elder is a scheming person. He¡¯ll do anything to achieve his goals. Now that he has lost most of his assets, it¡¯s hard to say what he¡¯ll do if he¡¯s impulsive.¡± Although that was what he said, Lin Yixuan believed that the person who gave the eight-level pill was definitely stronger than he imagined. ¡°But the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he has done us a favor. We can¡¯t just sit back and do nothing. Besides, this is a good opportunity to attack the second elder.¡± Lin Junyan was a little worried. ¡°If we really interfere, won¡¯t we confirm the second elder¡¯s allegation of us colluding with the auction house?¡± According to the second elder¡¯s schemes, as long as they made a move, even if there was no real collusion, they would probably fake some evidence. ¡°Let¡¯s follow them to check out the situation first. When the time comes, we¡¯ll act accordingly.¡± ¡­ Soon, the second elder and the others arrived at the auction house. Looking at Miao Qing who was trying to stop them, he said with a vicious expression, ¡°Get lost! Tell your master to come out and see me!¡± The second elder released all the spiritual power in his body. The pressure from the transformation dragon realm instantly covered the entire place. It was as if a towering mountain was crushing down on them. Even the floor was covered with dense patterns that looked like spider webs. Miao Qing¡¯s gaze gradually became sharp, and he said, ¡°Not just anyone has the right to see my master.¡± Hearing this, the second elder¡¯s anger reached its peak. He was like a demon god, and the expression on his face seemed as if he wanted to swallow Miao Qing alive. ¡°Say that again.¡± Even the people around the second elder could not bear such huge pressure. They all moved further away, but Miao Qing, who was in the center of the storm, stood still as if he had taken root on the ground. He did not speak as if he did not care to speak. The mocking expression on his face once again stung the second elder¡¯s eyes. Even a mere servant dared to be so rude to him. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± The moment he finished speaking, the second elder quickly stretched out his hand. The shadow of a huge palm suddenly appeared in mid-air. The golden light covered the sky and the sun. With lightning speed, it grabbed toward Miao Qing. In front of such a huge object, Miao Qing seemed small like an ant. With a casual pinch, he would be crushed. If he was caught by the second elder, he would be either dead or crippled. Who would have thought that Miao Qing was even faster? A few afterimages appeared in the air. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived a hundred meters away. The second elder missed Miao Qing. He could not help but squint his eyes. It seemed that Miao Qing had some ability to be able to dodge his attack. Such a person was not worth it for him to take action personally. He gave the man beside him a look and said, ¡°You play with him.¡± The man¡¯s eyes were burning with a fierce and bloodthirsty gaze. His tall figure was like a fierce tiger. All the blood essence in his body was gathered in his two fists as he swiftly struck out. Everyone seemed to have really heard the tiger¡¯s roar. The man was as swift as the wind, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain. His fists were all aimed at Miao Qing¡¯s vital points. How could the subordinates of the second elder be useless? Of course, Miao Qing was not weak either. In other words, he had not displayed his full strength yet. Back then, he had consumed so many top level medicinal pills from Lin Mo. At this moment, he had the ability to fight against the second elder. The two shadows were entangled together. They were moving back and forth, causing everyone¡¯s eyes to be dazzled. It was impossible for them to differentiate who it was. The second elder, on the other hand, saw everything clearly. Although the two people on the field were evenly matched, Miao Qing was still at a disadvantage because he had been dodging the attacks and did not make a move. However, if he was really weak, how could he dodge the other party¡¯s attacks every time? The man seemed to have hit the flesh with his fists, but in fact, he did not even touch the corner of Miao Qing¡¯s clothes. The second elder¡¯s heart sank, and he immediately had a bad feeling. The second elder looked at Miao Qing who was at ease on the field, and the viciousness in his eyes seemed to be about to solidify. He secretly circulated his spiritual power, and when Miao Qing was not paying attention, a cold light suddenly shot out. Miao Qing, who was in the middle of the battle, did not notice anything strange. It was not until he felt a chill behind him that he realized something was wrong. However, it was too late for him to dodge. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± The second elder revealed a smug smile. It was as if he could see Miao Qing¡¯s head being chopped off. However, in the next second, the smile froze on his face. A cold light suddenly appeared. It was like a crescent moon that blocked the second elder¡¯s sneak attack. Everyone was shocked to see that it was an icicle. ¡°Ding ding!¡± The icicle fell to the ground and instantly turned into a puddle of water. It looked ordinary. However, it was this thing that was able to block the attack of a powerhouse in the transformation dragon realm. From this, it could be seen how powerful the skill of the person who made the attack was, to the extent that it had reached an astonishing level. ¡°The dignified second elder of the Lin clan actually made a sneak attack. Today¡¯s incident has opened my eyes.¡± Being suddenly exposed by someone, the second elder and the others could not hold back their expression. They suddenly turned their heads. ¡°Who is it?! Quick, come out!¡± At the same time, Miao Qing and the others also stopped fighting. Chapter 94 - The Second Elder’s Shock. Hes Still Alive! The second elder felt that this voice was somewhat familiar. It was as if he had heard it before, but he could not recall when. Immediately after, the voice said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if I come out, the second elder would feel guilty and not dare to see me.¡± The second elder laughed coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks on me. Why wouldn¡¯t I dare to see you?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in mid-air. He looked at the second elder and the rest with a smile. ¡°Long time no see.¡± ¡°Ghost!¡± For a moment, the second elder thought that he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight. He stared fixedly at Lin Mo, unable to believe what he was seeing. His face suddenly turned deathly pale as he stammered, ¡°How¡¯s this possible? This is impossible¡­¡± The second elder shook his head frantically. His eyes were filled with shock and fear as if he had suffered a great blow. The people around him did not understand why he would reveal such an expression the moment he saw Lin Mo. Only a few of them knew. Beads of sweat appeared on the second elder¡¯s forehead as he panicked. The cold sweat on his back drenched his clothes. Back then, he had clearly witnessed with his own eyes just how powerful the self-destruction of the spiritual powers of Miao Yan and the others was, engulfing the entire Miao clan and everyone within. Even he, who had been affected by the explosion, had yet to fully recover. Under the impact of the explosion, Lin Mo was at the eye of the storm. How could there be any possibility of him surviving? However, the person standing in front of him reminded him that everything was not an illusion. In such a situation, even the great god would be helpless. How could Lin Mo possibly escape? He simply could not understand. ¡°Second elder must be very surprised to see me alive. After all, he thought I was dead.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s casual words caused a chill to run down second elder¡¯s spine. The man in front of him was simply too terrifying. Even the self-destruction of the top experts of the Miao clan could not do anything to him. Instead, he would be allowed to return to the Lin clan! If they continued to allow Lin Mo to cultivate further, he would definitely be a terrifying enemy. Forget about obtaining the position of clan leader. Even his life would be in jeopardy. After all, the second elder had secretly harmed Lin Mo many times. Once the matter was exposed, the two of them would definitely fight to the death. The second elder forced out a smile. ¡°What are you saying?¡± Lin Mo, who could not even do anything to Miao Jian and the others even after they self-destructed, felt an unprecedented chill sweep through the second elder¡¯s heart, causing him to stand rooted to the ground. The person in front of him was simply too terrifying and unbelievable. What would Lin Mo¡¯s true strength be like? Could it be that he had been hiding his true strength all this while? Lin Mo only smiled and did not say anything. He knew the second elder¡¯s character very well. He did not even need to speak. Just standing in front of him was enough for the second elder to imagine a lot of things. Some things were better left unsaid than revealed as it was more effective. At this moment, Lin Yixuan and the rest finally arrived. ¡°Second elder should take responsibility for his own actions. You and I have a grudge. Don¡¯t drag the innocents into it,¡± Lin Yixuan said, afraid that second elder would do something bad to the auction house. However, the scene that he imagined did not appear. Instead, the atmosphere became a little strange. Lin Mo¡¯s back was facing him, so Lin Yixuan did not see it clearly at first. However, he was very familiar with that back view. He believed that this must be the mysterious owner of the auction house. ¡°Sir¡­¡± Lin Wan¡¯s reaction was faster than his. He was in disbelief at first, then he was ecstatic. ¡°Brother Lin Mo!¡± It was Lin Mo! Lin Mo was back! Lin Yixuan did not expect that the mysterious owner of the auction house would be Lin Mo. When Lin Mo left the Lin clan, he was still a cripple. However, it seemed that the aura on his body was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, he was able to casually give away an eighth-level pill. He must be quite capable. Could it be that Lin Mo had some fortuitous encounter? ¡°Is the first elder doing well?¡± Lin Yixuan nodded. ¡°Everything is fine.¡± He looked at Lin Mo with a surprised expression. His divine sense could not detect his cultivation level. There were only two situations. Either Lin Mo used some special method to hide or he was wearing a concealing magic treasure. No matter which one it was, it proved that the current Lin Mo was no longer the same person who was expelled by the Lin clan. Back then, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation level had dropped drastically, and he had received a lot of ridicule and ostracism. After all, there was no shortage of people who took pleasure in others¡¯ misfortune. Although Lin Mo was a direct descendant, his parents had disappeared in his early years, and rumors had it that they long since died. Therefore, he did not have any blood relatives by his side, so naturally, no one could take care of him. All this time, it was all thanks to Lin Yixuan¡¯s protection and support that he was still alive. It could be said that the first elder and the others took good care of Lin Mo. Lin Wan had been childhood friends with Lin Mo since they were young and the two of them were very close. It was also because of the first elder¡¯s insistence that Lin Mo was not stripped of his surname and expelled from the Lin clan. In the end, he was only sent to a remote mountain village. ¡°How did you leave and how did you come back all of a sudden?¡± Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan had a lot of questions in their hearts. They ignored the second elder completely like there was no one else around. The second elder¡¯s face turned even uglier. ¡°This isn¡¯t a place to talk. Let¡¯s go back first.¡± Lin Mo glanced at the second elder after he said that. ¡°I¡¯m too happy. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll bring you back to see the leader.¡± With that, they left the auction together, not taking the second elder seriously at all. Chapter 95 - Lin Mo’s Strong Return The second elder was originally aggressive and wanted to cause trouble for Lin Mo. If possible, he even planned to use strong methods to force Lin Mo to make a move. Then, he would be able to find an excuse to give a bad name to the Lin clan. If he could get Lin Yixuan to participate in it, it would be better to drag him down with him. This way, he would definitely be accused of colluding with outsiders. However, he did not expect that the owner of the auction house was Lin Mo. The second elder¡¯s people were stunned by the shock and asked nervously, ¡°Second elder, what should we do now?¡± The second elder was uncertain. It took him a long time to calm down and said through gritted teeth, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± He had a premonition that Lin Mo¡¯s return might cause a huge wave in the Lin clan. It might even destroy everything that he had painstakingly set up. Soon, the Lin clan received the news, and everyone¡¯s expressions were the same. They could not believe what Lin Yixuan said. ¡°What?! That auction house that suddenly appeared is Lin Mo¡¯s?¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on? He¡¯s already a cripple abandoned by the clan and exiled to a remote mountain village. And now he¡¯s back?¡± ¡°Where did he get those high-level pills and treasures? Could it be that he had some kind of fortuitous encounter, or did he enter a secret realm by mistake and reap a huge harvest?¡± Everyone was discussing animatedly, but only when they saw Lin Mo did they realize that Lin Yixuan was telling the truth. The leader sat in the head seat, his expression complicated. He did not know how to face this genius from the past who was abandoned by the clan but in the end, returned with a strong attitude. ¡°It¡¯s good that he¡¯s back.¡± The second elder was still not giving up. He knew that Lin Mo¡¯s return was definitely not a good thing. Furthermore, from his previous actions, it could be seen that he was intentionally targeting him. He had to strike first to prevent himself from falling into a passive position. He wanted to put on a show in front of everyone and purposely questioned, ¡°Lin Mo, you came back without being summoned by the clan leader. What exactly are your intentions?!¡± One had to know that when Lin Mo was exiled, the Lin clan had never thought that Lin Mo would come back, so they had never sent people to inquire or investigate how he was. Logically speaking, Lin Mo should not be able to come back on his own, otherwise, he would be disobeying the clan leader¡¯s orders for leaving his post without permission. Lin Mo was already prepared for this, so he smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s a reason for this. I hope the clan leader can forgive me. I received an invitation from Imperial City. That¡¯s why I came back to the Lin clan.¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions were as if they were dreaming. ¡°You received an invitation from the Imperial City? Don¡¯t joke with us.¡± Lin Mo took out an invitation letter from the Imperial City. ¡°Please take a look at it, clan leader, and you¡¯ll know if what I said is true.¡± The invitation letter was incomparably exquisite. It had a seal from the Imperial City on it, and it also emitted a powerful aura. There was absolutely no possibility of it being fake, and it was the same as the one they had received previously. The most important thing was that Lin Mo¡¯s invitation letter was gold in color. Even though there were some color differences, everyone knew that the Imperial City¡¯s invitation letters were divided into several colors, representing several classes. Gold was a color that was specially given to people with special identities in the Imperial City, which was even more difficult to obtain. Even the Lin clan members were only white in color, and they looked slightly more ordinary. The clan leader examined it carefully. ¡°It¡¯s indeed not fake.¡± The invitation letter might be fake, but the unique seal and aura on it could not be faked. Everyone¡¯s expressions became increasingly mysterious. Lin Mo had only left the Lin clan for a few short months. What exactly happened in this period that he received a gold invitation letter from the capital? One had to know that when he left, he was still a cripple. Those who were able to receive an invitation from the capital were all talents. They were also carefully selected disciples from every clan. It could be said that the requirements were stringent, and it was not just a casual invitation. This was enough to prove how powerful Lin Mo was. ¡°What else does the second elder have to say at this moment?¡± Looking at the ridicule on Lin Mo¡¯s face, the second elder clenched his fist so tightly that it made creaking sounds. It must have been during his time in Qingyang City, where the royal family auction house was located, that Lin Mo had struck gold. ¡°Congratulations, Lin Mo. You¡¯ve finally come to the end of your bitter journey. Not everyone can have such an opportunity with an invitation from the capital. You have to make good use of it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a few months since we last saw each other, so we have to look at you in a new light. I didn¡¯t expect that you¡¯d give us such a big surprise upon your return. How¡¯s your cultivation now? However, have you encountered something special along the way? Otherwise, how could you have improved so quickly?¡± The clan leader¡¯s expression was very gratified. There was a hint of probing in his words. Lin Mo definitely would not tell him everything in detail, so he still held back. He only gave a brief summary, and even his cultivation base was only at the initial dragon transformation realm. Even so, it still made everyone draw in a breath of cold air. One had to know that when Lin Mo left, he had not even reached the foundation establishment realm. In just a few short months, he had successfully crossed several great realms. ¡°There were indeed some fortuitous encounters along the way. I guess I was lucky.¡± To be able to improve so quickly was definitely not something that could be summarized with a simple sentence. There must be something else but Lin Mo did not want to say it, so he could not force him. Lin Mo did not mention the second elder sending people to kill him. After all, he did not have any evidence. Even if he said it, it would not be enough to make the second elder submit to the law. The surrounding people and the elders congratulated Lin Mo one after another. There was a hint of flattery in their words, but Lin Mo¡¯s expression remained indifferent. Only when he faced Lin Yixuan and the others did he feel some warmth. Chapter 96 - Lin Mo’s Oppression and Threats Lin Mo¡¯s residence had long been abandoned. The clan leader temporarily placed him in the first elder¡¯s courtyard and watched as Lin Mo, Lin Yixuan, and the others left. In addition, Lin Junyan had already recovered from his injuries. Many people knew that the Lin clan¡¯s situation was about to change once again. It could be seen from the attitude of the fence-sitters. Previously, the Lin clan¡¯s first elder and second elder were standing in a large formation. As the second elder had the upper hand, many people started to approach him. Now, those people started to waver again. At this moment, the second elder smashed many things. His expression was dark as he looked at the debris on the ground. It was as if those things that he had smashed were Lin Mo, Lin Yixuan, and the others. ¡°Lin Mo is really haunting us. He¡¯s already in such a state, yet he didn¡¯t die from the self-destruction of the Miao clan¡¯s spiritual power.¡± At the same time, his eyes were filled with fear that he did not even notice. He had attacked Lin Mo several times, yet Lin Mo had still managed to escape. Instead, he had become stronger and stronger. To ensure that nothing went wrong, he had even traveled thousands of miles to Qingyang City and personally contacted the Miao clan to make arrangements. In the end, all his efforts had been for naught, and the entire Miao clan was eradicated. Even he had suffered a great loss of vitality and had yet to recover until now. Lin Mo, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. ¡°Lin Mo is really strange. What should we do now? From his actions these few times, it¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s targeting us. He¡¯s also on good terms with the first elder. He¡¯ll definitely become big trouble for us in the future.¡± Previously, in front of the clan leader and everyone else, the second elder did not take the matter of the auction house to heart because everyone knew that if it was not for him intentionally targeting Lin Yixuan, he would not have fallen into Lin Mo¡¯s trap. Even if he said it out loud, it would be useless. It would only make him look bad. ¡°Lin Mo can¡¯t be left alive.¡± The second elder felt a great threat. He had a feeling that if Lin Mo was not eliminated, he would never be able to take the position of the clan leader. In fact, Lin Mo¡¯s influence on him was even greater than Lin Yixuan¡¯s as if it became a thorn in his throat. However, it was not what the second elder and the others had expected. Not long after, the clan leader sent someone to deliver the news. The second elder shouted in disbelief, ¡°What?! The clan leader said that Lin Mo would take care of the auction house for the time being? He really said that?¡± Facing the second elder¡¯s knife-like gaze, the person who delivered the message felt as if his entire body was being sliced apart. He could only brace himself and continue, ¡°The clan leader said that Lin Mo had just returned and already managed the newly opened auction house so well that everyone in the city knew about it. Even the Lin clan had to avoid its sharp edge. Therefore¡­¡± His voice became softer and softer as he spoke. It was because the second elder¡¯s gaze became more and more terrifying. It was to the extent that his legs trembled and he almost lost his footing. The pressure from a dragon transformation realm expert was not something a mere servant like him could withstand. The second elder gritted his teeth and bellowed, ¡°Scram!¡± The servant ran out as if he was relieved of a heavy burden, escaping from a massive flood or a ferocious beast behind him. The second elder and the rest were left with ashen faces. The auction house was originally given to them to manage on their behalf, which meant that the majority of the power of the Lin clan would gradually lean toward them. When that time came, Lin Yixuan and the rest would no longer have anything to do with it. Now that Lin Mo had come back and snatched this away, who knew what he would do in the future? ¡°I¡¯ve underestimated Lin Mo. He¡¯s only just returned to the Lin clan and he¡¯s already made such a big commotion. What else could he not do?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what this kid told the clan leader in private that he agreed to it.¡± ¡°If this continues, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be disadvantageous for us. Our position in the Lin clan will also be in jeopardy.¡± ¡°This kid used a forceful method to pull away most of the customers and we had no choice but to close the auction house temporarily. I think it¡¯s because of this that the clan leader looks at him differently.¡± The elders who were on good terms with the second elder discussed animatedly. Due to the second elder¡¯s persuasion or enticement, they were now in the same boat, not to mention offending Lin Yixuan to death. If Lin Yixuan were to ascend to the clan leader position in the future, nothing good would happen to them. Hence, they had to leave no matter what. Furthermore, they had supported Lin Mo when they said they would strip him of his surname and expel him from the Lin clan. Now that Lin Mo had returned, they would not be able to escape if they wanted to settle the score later. ¡°What are you panicking for?!¡± The second elder reprimanded sternly. ¡°Lin Mo is only in charge now and has yet to truly take over but all of you are starting to panic.¡± Even though he said that, his expression did not look good. ¡°This brat is so scheming.¡± Now, the second elder finally knew why Lin Mo had hidden the truth from everyone when he first returned. It turned out that he was waiting for them to go to him. It seemed that he had been scheming from the start. He only regretted that back then, he did not stab Lin Mo in the back to see if Lin Mo was dead, or else this would not have happened. The second elder had thought that since he was badly affected by the impact of the self-destruction, Lin Mo, who was at the center of it, would perish. He did not expect that god¡¯s plan would turn out like this. He sneered. ¡°Since he¡¯s so impatient, let¡¯s let him take charge of the auction house. When the time comes, we won¡¯t have to worry about not finding an opportunity to make a move.¡± Compared to the pressure on the second elder¡¯s side, Lin Yixuan and the others were very happy. ¡°I was worried about your safety, but there were too many things to deal with in the clan. In addition, the second elder and the others were stirring up trouble. They kept pressing us and we didn¡¯t have time to contact you. I didn¡¯t expect you to change so much.¡± Chapter 97 - Waiting for the Right Time Lin Yixuan held a feast and took out the spirit wine that he had been saving for a long time to welcome Lin Mo. He was filled with emotions and was still in shock. The owner of the auction house that was helping him was Lin Mo. ¡°Oh right, why did you think of hiding your identity and not contacting us directly?¡± Lin Mo smiled meaningfully. ¡°This is the only way to make the second elder and the others lower their guard and fall into my trap.¡± Lin Yixuan was stunned at first. Then, he seemed to think of something and looked at Lin Mo differently. ¡°Good, good, good!¡± he said. It was enough to show how happy he was at the moment. ¡°It¡¯s all linked together, scheming step by step. Even the second elder, that scheming and sinister old fox, fell for your trap. It¡¯s really like the new wave pushing another wave forward.¡± Lin Yixuan was very emotional. Lin Mo had only taken one step, but he had already thought of the next hundred steps. He could even make everyone follow his plan. If Lin Mo had not hidden his identity in the beginning and first aroused the second elder¡¯s hostility, Lin Mo would not find an opportunity to go against the second elder. As a situation led to another, Lin Yixuan eventually helped Lin Mo to scam the second elder of the spiritual stones. It was as if killing two birds with one stone. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve finally returned to the Lin clan, what plans do you have? Based on the second elder¡¯s character, he definitely won¡¯t let you off easily.¡± Lin Mo smiled coldly, his eyes were filled with unconcealed killing intent. ¡°I won¡¯t let him off so easily either.¡± The aura he gave off shocked even Lin Yixuan. After all, the Lin Mo from before was not such a person. As if he knew what Lin Yixuan was thinking, Lin Mo explained casually, ¡°First elder, after I left the Lin clan, the second elder sent several groups of people to deal with me. They wanted to take my life. We¡¯ve reached the point where we won¡¯t rest until one of us dies.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Lin Yixuan shouted in disbelief, ¡°There¡¯s such an incident?¡± Lin Mo briefly mentioned a few incidents. In the middle, he omitted the things related to the system and the destruction of the Miao clan. Lin Yixuan¡¯s expression became more serious after he heard it. After a long while, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that there was such a thing. If I knew, I wouldn¡¯t have let him do whatever he wants!¡± Lin Mo said this calmly, but it was obvious that the journey he went through was extremely dangerous. It was definitely not as simple as he said. Lin Yixuan and the second elder had fought for so many years, and he knew this person¡¯s strength and character. Lin Mo was able to make the second elder lose time and time again, and he even suffered such a huge loss. It was enough to show that his strength was not to be underestimated. Lin Mo said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m not injured anyway. The second elder, on the other hand, has been shooting himself in his foot many times. He should¡¯ve learned that I¡¯m taking over the auction house by now.¡± Thinking of the second elder¡¯s expression at this moment, Lin Yixuan felt extremely happy. It did not matter if it was Lin Mo who made the second elder suffer or the latter who made him suffer. The second elder¡¯s battle this time could be said to be a crushing defeat. He was completely defeated and had no way to fight back against Lin Mo. ¡°I really want to see his expression now, but the second elder should be shutting his door tight. He must be throwing a tantrum inside.¡± Lin Wan also revealed a mischievous smile on the side. ¡°Yeah, with a person like the second elder, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to sleep well for a while.¡± Compared to the second elder, Lin Yixuan¡¯s methods were too gentle and he was an upright scholar. He did not want to use underhanded methods. On the other hand, the second elder was not able to achieve his goal hence he chose to use all kinds of methods. That was why he planned and plotted against Lin Junyan, causing Lin Yixuan to lose his right-hand man. Then, he pressed on and nibbled at Lin Yixuan¡¯s strength, trying to win over the hearts of the people in the clan. That was why Lin Yixuan gradually fell to a disadvantage. Otherwise, if the two of them were to face each other, it was still unknown who would win. ¡°However, the second elder will not give up easily. He¡¯ll definitely think of ways to deal with you later. You have to be careful. If you need my help, just let me know.¡± Lin Yixuan was not worried that Lin Mo would come to seize power. He could tell that Lin Mo was not obsessed with power. Even if Lin Mo had the intention, and if the clan leader was Lin Mo, Lin Yixuan would agree to it. After all, if the Lin clan fell into the hands of someone like the second elder, the clan would fall apart. It was also because of this that Lin Yixuan made up his mind to fight for the position of the clan leader with the second elder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the second elder won¡¯t be jumping around for long.¡± Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s confidence, Lin Yixuan was curious. ¡°So, you already have a plan in mind?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a plan. I¡¯m just waiting for him to get tired. The second elder must be very anxious because I¡¯m threatening his position. I think he¡¯ll act soon.¡± Lin Mo did not even need to take the initiative to strike first. He was sure that he would definitely surpass Lin Yixuan based on the hatred he had for the second elder. That was why he was the first person the second elder attacked. ¡°Alright then. All in all, you have to be careful. What are your plans regarding the auction house?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned and revealed a mysterious smile. ¡°If it¡¯s the second elder, where do you think he¡¯ll go first to deal with me?¡± Lin Yixuan immediately understood what Lin Mo meant. The two of them looked at each other. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll continue to send people to keep an eye on the second elder. I¡¯ll inform you as soon as there¡¯s any movement.¡± Chapter 98 - He’s Back! The news of Lin Mo¡¯s return quickly spread. ¡°Hey, did you guys hear that Lin Mo is back? He¡¯s the one who opened the mysterious auction house that suddenly appeared in the city.¡± ¡°Lin Mo? It can¡¯t be him, right? Didn¡¯t they say that he was abandoned by the Lin clan and exiled to some remote place? What¡¯s going on?¡± Everyone knew of Lin Mo¡¯s name back then. They also knew that he was the most outstanding genius of the Lin clan. Not only did his powerful talent and advancement speed far suppressed all his peers, but he had also become an existence that everyone looked up to. Everyone paled in comparison to him. There were even people who said that his achievements in the future would not be inferior to those great emperors. It could be said that Lin Mo was the rising star and representative of the Lin clan. However, his cultivation level started to stagnate. It was not until the people he had left behind caught up to him that he was reduced from a genius to trash. He was ridiculed by everyone and even bullied and ostracized. The higher you were, the greater the fall. Now that they heard Lin Mo¡¯s name again, it was as if a lifetime had passed. ¡°That¡¯s right. He has suddenly returned. Moreover, no one knows what his cultivation level is now. Even the second elder has fallen into his hands. He won¡¯t be able to gain any benefits.¡± ¡°Who knows, he might have encountered a great opportunity outside. That¡¯s why he was able to take out so many magic treasures.¡± The Lin clan¡¯s second elder was currently in the limelight. However, Lin Mo, who had just returned, had caused him to suffer a great loss. From this, one could guess Lin Mo¡¯s strengths. After all, after he had been abandoned by the Lin clan, he did not have any foundation. Unlike the second elder and the others, who had worked hard in the Lin clan for many years, whether it was manpower or resources, they were not something that Lin Mo could compare to. It was precisely these two people who had such a huge disparity in strength that the second elder had suffered a huge loss at the hands of Lin Mo. Even so, there were still people who did not dare to believe it. It was probably because Lin Mo¡¯s image as a good-for-nothing had been too deeply ingrained. ¡°Has Lin Mo really become so powerful now?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, go and take a look for yourself. Previously, the auction house that he had opened was something that even the Lin clan had to avoid. Moreover, the items that he had brought out from the auction house were all around the fifth level.¡± When the others heard this news, they felt that the world had become unpredictable. ¡°Then, wouldn¡¯t the Lin clan be in for a huge change?¡± ¡°Who says so? Previously, it was just the first elder and the second elder vying for the position of the family head. Now that Lin Mo has joined in, I don¡¯t know who would be more capable.¡± ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯ve heard that the Lin clan auction house was originally taken over by the second elder. However, the moment Lin Mo returned, the clan leader handed it over to him.¡± ¡°How can the second elder be willing to accept such a loss?¡± ¡°So what if he¡¯s unwilling? The clan leader has already spoken. From this, it can be seen that Lin Mo still has some tricks up his sleeves. Otherwise, based on the status of the second elder in the Lin clan, how could he so easily snatch away the authority in his hands?¡± Many people still held a dubious attitude. This was because although Lin Mo had returned, he did not really come out to take a walk. These were just rumors. As the rumors grew more and more intense, he was shrouded in a layer of mysteriousness. Furthermore, Lin Mo¡¯s deeds and experiences were rather complicated. As a result, many people paid close attention to him and even wanted to find out more about him. On the day of the auction, the Lin clan¡¯s auction house was packed with people. The doors were almost broken through. The hall was densely packed with people, and there were even quite a few people outside who were watching it. It was enough to show that everyone was paying attention to this auction. When the second elder saw such a grand occasion and the people around him were discussing Lin Mo, his expression was as dark as ink. The people around him carefully said, ¡°Second elder, there¡¯s no need to be angry. As the saying goes, the higher you climb, the heavier you fall. This kid is so proud now. In the future, there will be times when he¡¯ll cry.¡± The second elder¡¯s expression became even colder.¡±I¡¯m afraid that we¡¯ll cry before Lin Mo does.¡± ¡°The clan leader is also muddle-headed. He actually entrusted such an important matter like the auction house to this brat. I wonder what kind of bewitching potion Lin Mo gave him.¡± What else could it be? It was naturally the glorious deeds of Qingyang City as well as the invitation from the imperial capital. With all these added together, it would be able to make the clan leader view him in a different light. When the second elder thought of this, his mood became even more depressed. After all, this was still the Lin clan. If he were to act rashly, he would be discovered and ostracized instead. Moreover, if he did not succeed, it would instead cause Lin Mo to run to the clan leader and complain. The losses would not be worth it. ¡°We¡¯ll take it one step at a time. I want to see if he can manage the Lin clan¡¯s auction well!¡± Compared to the unhappy expressions of the second elder and the others, Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan were extremely happy. Not only did Lin Mo solve their current predicament, he even saved Lin Junyan¡¯s life. He could be said to be their benefactor. Lin Wan glanced at the second elder from the corner of his eyes and could not help but chuckle. ¡°Father, look at their expressions. They¡¯re almost the same as charcoal.¡± Lin Yixuan did not show his emotions, but the corners of his lips curled up. It was obvious that he was in a good mood. ¡°The second elder and the others have been so happy for so long. It¡¯s rare to see them so defeated.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s all thanks to Brother Lin Mo. If it wasn¡¯t for him being so powerful, I¡¯m afraid we wouldn¡¯t have been able to get out of this predicament.¡± Ever since Lin Mo returned, Lin Yixuan had heard Lin Wan talk about Lin Mo the most. Chapter 99 - The Auction That Drives People Crazy Just as the father and son were discussing, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed. Miao Qing walked out as well. Countless gazes fell on him, but Miao Qing¡¯s expression was calm as if he did not care. Lin Wan was a little puzzled as he asked, ¡°Our Lin clan has many professional auctioneers. Father also has a few outstanding ones. Why did Brother Lin Mo choose him?¡± He could tell that Miao Qing was a newbie and had only been in the auction house for a short period. It would be difficult for him to take charge of the situation and stir up the emotions of the audience. Furthermore, mistakes were bound to happen. Lin Yixuan shook his head, indicating that he did not understand. ¡°Maybe he wants to cultivate his own power.¡± Although he did not know Miao Qing¡¯s exact cultivation level, from the aura that he occasionally emitted, it was definitely not easy to underestimate him. He should be an expert as well. Even though Miao Qing was not experienced in this aspect, he was able to exploit his strengths and hide his weaknesses. Furthermore, Lin Mo had just returned to the Lin clan, and he did not want to use other people to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in. After nurturing Miao Qing, Lin Mo would be able to save himself a lot of trouble. ¡°Welcome, everyone, to the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. The first treasure to be auctioned is a mid fifth-level Divine Fire Barrier. The starting price is 5,000 spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s price was neither too high nor too low, and he happened to be stuck in the middle. After all, he no longer needed to rely on lowly methods to attract attention. Divine Fire Barrier was a defensive type of magical artifact. It was invulnerable to blades and spears, and it could isolate all flames, allowing it to move freely in the sea of flames. Of course, if the level of the flames was too high, it would not be able to withstand it. All in all, it could be considered a decent treasure. ¡°6,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°7,000 spirit stones!¡± Someone immediately called out the price, and it was quickly sold at the price of 9,000 spirit stones. [ Ding! Host has successfully auctioned the fifth-level Divine Fire Barrier. ] [ Successfully triggered the three thousand fold return. ] [ Acquired the seventh-grade nine dragons divine fire barrier! ] ¡°The second auction item, the low sixth-level Wind Stabilizing Pearl. The starting price is 8,000 spirit stones!¡± A gray bead appeared in Miao Qing¡¯s hand. It looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to have countless small whirlpools as if some mysterious force had fixed it inside. Even time seemed to have stopped. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the venue, which had a cool breeze passing through the hall, was now completely devoid of wind. One had to know that the hall was wide, and the wind was incessant. There had never been such a phenomenon before. It must have been caused by the calming wind bead in Miao Qing¡¯s hand. Although it was an extremely rare sixth-level item, the crowd was obviously not interested. After all, the calming wind bead sounded very powerful, but it was actually not very useful. No one had the leisure time to buy a bead that could stabilize the wind. It had no attacking or defensive features. After a while, someone called out the price, and the final price was not high. [ Ding! Host has successfully auctioned sixth-level Wind Stabilizing Bead. ] [ Triggered 4,000 times return. ] [ Obtained seventh-level Wind Stabilizing Bead! ] Upon hearing this name, Lin Mo could not help but thought, ¡®Wind Stabilizing Bead is very powerful just from its name. To be able to control the wind, it should have a wider range of uses. It¡¯s worth studying it properly.¡¯ It was probably because the items from before were rather ordinary and did not have much utility. Everyone could not help but feel a little disappointed. Furthermore, the rumors about Lin Mo spread like wildfire. All of the items auctioned in the nameless auction house were top-quality items. In comparison, the first few items auctioned in the Lin clan auction house were all very ordinary and unattractive. ¡°Sigh, I thought there would be some good stuff. Looks like it¡¯s just so-so. They¡¯re all ordinary items that can be seen in ordinary auction houses.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Lin Mo¡¯s previous auction house isn¡¯t like this. Some items were of the fifth to sixth-level.¡± ¡°The Divine Fire Barrier and Wind Stabilizing Pearl that are being auctioned now aren¡¯t of much use. Could it be that they¡¯re trying to fool us? I think the rumors about Lin Mo from before are all lies!¡± There were gradually some strange sounds in the auction house, and among them, there was no lack of the second elder and the others adding fuel to the fire. Lin Wan could not help but look worried as he said, ¡°Father¡­¡± However, Lin Yixuan seemed to know what he was going to say as he shook his head. ¡°Do you know the principle of keeping a low profile?¡± Both Lin Mo and Lin Yixuan looked at each other calmly, and Lin Wan was relieved. ¡°The third item is a top sixth-level Fire Fan. The starting price is 9,000 spirit stones.¡± On the red tray, there was a glowing fan. The red light was faintly discernible, and the handle of the fan was surrounded by the patterns of flames. The flames were vivid as if they would come to life in the next second. Even the tail of the fan was hung with a flame-shaped pendant. The dense fire elemental energy within seemed to raise the temperature significantly. Those who were close to it could even feel the scorching heat. ¡°This fan contains fire from the air, stone, wood, purgatory, and the human world. With the five flames combined, it¡¯s also known as the five-fire fan. People without cultivation base can use it. The higher their cultivation base is, the more powerful the flames will be. However, it will also cost a lot of spiritual power, so everyone should try their best.¡± Everyone did not listen to what Miao Qing said at the end, and placed all their focus on the front. In other words, the Fire Fan could unleash greater power according to the user¡¯s own abilities. It was a growth-type artifact, and even people without cultivation could use its powerful flames to defend or attack. It was probably because it required a lot of spiritual energy to unleash its full power, which was why it was ranked sixth-level. Otherwise, it might even be eighth-level. ¡°10,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°15,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°20,000 spirit stones!¡± Even though the price had soared to such a high level, the crowd¡¯s enthusiasm did not decrease in the slightest. Chapter 100 - The Holy Dao The crowd shouted the price like crazy, and soon, the price rose to 20,000 spirit stones at an extremely terrifying speed. Moreover, it seemed that the bidding did not stop. ¡°What kind of concept is a growth-type weapon? It¡¯s an extremely rare existence. It can only be encountered by chance, but not sought after. Although it¡¯s a top sixth-level weapon, based on this characteristic, it¡¯s even better than an ordinary seventh or eighth-level magical artifact.¡± ¡°I heard that there was a growth-type weapon in the neighboring city, and it¡¯s a seventh-level. However, its effect is completely inferior to this Fire Fan.¡± ¡°For people without cultivation base to be able to use it, it¡¯s enough to show the uniqueness of this magical artifact. Moreover, the fire element is the most offensive. If this fan were to be in the hands of those with powerful abilities, its power would be unimaginable.¡± Everyone wished they could compete with the others for this treasure. After a while, the bidding slowed down. However, it had already reached 40,000 spirit stones. The faces of the second elder and the others were extremely ugly. Just one Fire Fan was enough for Lin Mo to make a great contribution in front of the patriarch. Lin Yixuan and Lin Wan were extremely happy. They did not expect Lin Mo to take out such a powerful treasure. Lin Yixuan could not help but sigh. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the cultivation technique and fire element that I practiced, I¡¯d really like to give it a try.¡± The final price of the Fire Fan was 48,000 spirit stones. Those who did not manage to get it could not help but sigh. They regretted not bringing more spirit stones with them. [ Ding! Host has successfully auctioned the top sixth-level Fire Fan. ] [ Successfully triggered three thousand returns. ] [ Acquired eighth-level Divine Flame Bird Fan! ] ¡°The fourth item is a low fifth-level Dao-seeking Stone. The starting price is 15,000 spirit stones!¡± As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, the entire place fell into silence as if they could not believe their ears. ¡°Dao-seeking Stone? Did I hear wrong? Is it the kind of dao-seeking stone that I think it is?¡± Miao Qing did not answer, but only said, ¡°Everyone, please take a look.¡± Everyone quickly looked in the direction that Miao Qing was pointing. On the red velvet cloth, there was a pitch-black stone. It looked no different from a random stone picked up by the roadside. However, upon closer inspection, they discovered that the patterns on the stone seemed to contain an indescribable dao rhythm. It was like words, but also like some mysterious patterns and symbols. It was as if the sun, moon, heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers had formed a small miniature model, branded on this stone. It was as if one had stepped into the endless mysteries of the universe and come into contact with something deeper. Soon, the red velvet cloth once again blocked everyone¡¯s vision. Miao Qing had also put away the stone. They could no longer explore deeper. Everyone felt empty as if they had lost something. After a moment, someone came back to their senses and said in astonishment, ¡°It¡¯s really a Dao-seeking Stone!¡± It was rumored that there was such a stone that was born from the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. It absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and the breath of mountains and rivers. It could be said that it was born with dao rhythm. If one could cultivate and meditate with such a stone, then cultivation speed would be doubled but only using half the effort. It could even avoid the trouble of inner demons, encouraging a clear spiritual stage and mind. ¡°How much spiritual energy of heaven and earth is mixed in the Dao-seeking Stone? However, each stone is extremely precious and rare. It will take at least a hundred years or a thousand years to transform from an ordinary spirit stone into a dao stone.¡± As for why it could be transformed, what mysteries it contained, and how much spiritual energy it required to accumulate, no one had been able to explain it clearly up until now. ¡°Everyone who cultivates through the Dao-seeking Stone will obtain different insights and experiences. Some people¡¯s cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds, while others can gain instant enlightenment. There are even rumors that someone has obtained clues regarding the dao from it! ¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually such a miraculous thing!¡± However, no one was able to explain the origin of the Dao-seeking Stone. They only knew that everything depended on luck. If there was a word ¡°dao¡± in it, then its origin would definitely be extraordinary. There was too little information about the Dao-seeking Stone because it was rare in the world. Some of it sounded more like a story, and there were so many different opinions that it was impossible for everyone to differentiate it. However, all cultivators wanted in their lives were to seek immortality and dao. Therefore, dao-seeking stones were something that almost everyone dreamed of. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, they had to grasp it firmly. However, things like dao-seeking stones were too rare, so few people had seen them before. Now that they had seen them, even if they were only at the low fifth-level, they could be considered rare treasures. ¡°20,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°25,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°30,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡­ Everyone fell into a frenzy. The price increase was even crazier than before. The person who had previously bid for the Fire Fan was now filled with regret, and his intestines were about to turn green. Although the Fire Fan was a growth-type magical treasure, and although its power was great it was not worth mentioning when compared to Dao-seeking Stone. Everyone wanted to pursue the dao in their hearts. ¡°80,000 spirit stones!¡± The hoarse male voice suddenly spoke, causing everyone to be shocked on the spot. This price was really too high. They wanted to see who exactly was so rich and powerful. However, when they looked toward the source of the voice, they saw that it was a mysterious person who was covered from head to toe. They could not see his true appearance at all. Presumably, that hoarse male voice just now was also because he had used a false voice. ¡°Who is this person? From his accent, he seems to be from another city. He doesn¡¯t seem to be from our city.¡± ¡°He¡¯s so mysterious. What¡¯s wrong with being open and aboveboard about it?¡± While everyone was discussing, the mysterious person acted as if he did not hear them. However, even though the others wanted to chase after him, they did not have that many spirit stones. [ Ding! Host has successfully auctioned a fifth-level Dao-seeking Stone. ] [ Triggered 10,000 times return. ] [ Obtained top ninth-level Holy Dao-seeking Stone! ] Chapter 101 - Autumn Frost Sword Technique Upon hearing the system¡¯s notification, Lin Mo sucked in a breath of cold air. 10,000 times return! This was the second time it had been triggered since he obtained the system! The previous Nine Revolutions Creation Pill that had received 10,000 times return had truly awakened his Devouring Divine Body. Then, what kind of effects would this Holy Dao-seeking Stone offer? As the owner of the Lin clan¡¯s auction house, he naturally knew the value of a fifth-level Dao-seeking Stone. If not for the existence of the system, he would definitely have preferred to keep such a good item for himself. The second elder below the stage looked at the final price of the Dao-seeking Stone and felt so regretful! These were all treasures that he had painstakingly collected and prepared to lay the foundation for his fight for the Lin clan¡¯s power. The Dao-seeking Stone had been taken out of his personal vault. He was unwilling to use it himself but it was now being auctioned off! His heart ached, so much so that he could not breathe! The second elder covered his chest in pain. The other person beside him looked at the second elder¡¯s expression and said through gritted teeth with a dark expression, ¡°He even took out such treasure on his first auction. This is a deliberate act for us to see. His intentions are despicable!¡± ¡­ On the stage, Miao Qing did not care about that and continued to auction off the next item. ¡°The fifth item is the sixth-level technique, Autumn Frost Sword Art. The starting price is 20,000 spirit stones!¡± If the appearance of the fifth-level Dao-seeking Stone caused the entire place to be silent, then this time, what Miao Qing said was equivalent to a clap of thunder above everyone¡¯s heads! ¡°What?! Did I hear wrongly? Did he just say a sixth-level technique?¡± ¡°I also hope that I heard wrongly, but he clearly said a sixth-level technique, and it was the entire technique!¡± ¡°You have to know that every time this kind of high-level technique appears, it can cause a bloodbath in the eastern continent.¡± Some people below the stage were shocked, while others were suspicious. ¡°This must be fake. I don¡¯t believe that Lin Mo has such good luck! He just accepted the auction house yesterday, and someone already gave him a complete sixth-level technique?¡± Seated on the stage, the second elder stared at Miao Qing in disbelief as he nervously grabbed onto the clothes of the person beside him. / please keep reading on MYB0XN0VEL(d0t)C0M. When someone beside the second elder heard what he said, he immediately started whispering to the person beside him as waves of doubt spread¡­ However, Miao Qing, who was on the stage, had a calm expression on his face. A handmaiden beside him brought over a red tray. On it was an antique yellow pear wood box. The carvings on the surface were clearly visible, and the design was simple and elegant. ¡°Everyone, please take a look!¡± As he spoke, Miao Qing opened the yellow pear wood lid. Everyone followed Miao Qing¡¯s movements and looked over. A pale yellow book was lying in the middle of the box. A thick, frosty aura assaulted their faces. At this moment, everyone in the auction house felt an inexplicable sense of despair and sorrow in their hearts. Autumn was supposed to be a fruitful harvest, but this sudden, murderous atmosphere seemed to have cut off their last bit of life at this moment, causing everyone to suffocate. ¡°This is real. This is the aura of the sixth-level complete technique. I¡¯ve seen it once in the royal collection!¡± Qi Yueheng, the head of the Qi clan, pointed at the yellow pear wood box on the stage with bloodshot eyes. He pushed Qi Yifei who was beside him and said, ¡°Son! Go back and gather spirit stones for me! If our Qi clan can obtain this sixth-level cultivation technique and increase our strength dramatically, then this is probably the closest opportunity for our Qi clan to become a family like the Lin clan! ¡°Not to mention 20,000 spirit stones, even if it¡¯s 100,000 spirit stones or selling off all of our family assets, I still need to acquire it!¡± Zhao Gongming, the head of the Zhao clan beside Qi Yueheng, also had an excited expression on his face. Bai Wuheng, the head of the Bai clan said, ¡°Hehe, that dog, the second elder of the Lin clan, has such a good item but he keeps it from me?¡± ¡°You have the face to complain to me on a daily basis? Forget it, I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± The Bai clan had been doing business in Lin City for generations, and they were the most well-off. The Qi clan, Zhao clan, and Bai clan had been fighting openly and secretly under the Lin clan for many years in Lin City. It was rare for them to see a chance to turn things around, so how could they let it slip away so easily? ¡°This! If I can get this cultivation technique, will the clan leader and the others still dare to look down on me? Would I have to wander outside and not dare to return?¡± Someone mumbled with tears in his eyes, looking at the stage with such fervent eyes. According to rumors, the sixth-level technique Autumn Frost Sword Technique was actually a branch of the four seasons sword technique. There were other similar-level techniques such as Spring Thunder Sword Technique, Summer Sea Sword Technique, and Winter Fur Sword Technique. The fourth-level sword technique was once the masterpiece of the dragon transformation realm expert, Four Seasons Man. However, ever since the mysterious disappearance of the man 1,000 years ago, there had been no news about him. It was rare to see the Autumn Frost Sword Technique, and it might contain the whereabouts of the Four Seasons Man! There must also be clues to the other cultivation techniques hidden within! What was involved was far more than just the Autumn Frost Sword Technique. After traveling around the world for so many years, this old man finally saw a chance to break through to the great dao! It was said that Four Seasons Man had comprehended the changes of the four seasons¡¯ sun, moon, heaven, and earth. In the end, he created these four cultivation techniques! Perhaps through cultivating these cultivation techniques, one could comprehend the insights of Four Seasons Man. This was equivalent to creating another dragon transformation realm expert! Regardless of whether they had the ability to buy it or not, everyone in the auction venue began to shout fervently. If the previous Fire Fan, a growth-type magic weapon could directly increase one¡¯s strength, then the appearance of the Dao-seeking Stone could allow one to have endless potential and comprehend mystical dao techniques. Then this Autumn Frost Sword Technique was a treasure that could simultaneously take into account both strength and potential, present and future! A cultivation technique of sixth-level and above contained the understanding of the person who wrote this cultivation technique. It was equivalent to pointing out a bright path for the new generation. The laws of heaven and earth were indeed mysterious, but if someone had already walked the path ahead, would it not be slightly easier for the rest to follow suit? Even if one did not want to follow the old path and wanted to use this to create a new dao technique, then there would be a lot of reference points! ¡°30,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°50,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°55,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡­ Facing such a treasure that could rapidly increase one¡¯s strength, point out a great path, and even pass it on to future generations, no one could refuse it! ¡°80,000 spirit stones!¡± The black-robed man who had previously bought the Dao-seeking Stone made another move. ¡°Hmph, this is Forest City! We¡¯re the true masters!¡± ¡°100,000 spirit stones!¡± After getting the exact information from his son, Qi Yifei, Qi Yueheng glanced at the black-clothed man and shouted. Chapter 102 - Mysterious Buyer ¡°130,000 spirit stones!¡± After hearing Qi Yueheng¡¯s price, the mysterious black-clothed man continued to raise the price without hesitation. ¡°Oh, I wonder where this person came from? Is he trying to oppose Qi Yueheng or the Qi clan?¡± Bai Wuheng had been quietly watching the show from the side. In reality, he planned to wait until the other people¡¯s bids were about the same before he bid the final price. However, he had never expected that the black-clothed man¡¯s strength would actually be so strong. The audience at the side had already sunk into complete madness. The auction price of more than 100,000 spirit stones was constantly transmitted into their ears. It made them feel as if they were in a dream, filled with an unreal dream-like feeling! ¡°140,000 spirit stones!¡± As if he was venting his anger, Zhao Gongming also made a bid. To be honest, this price was already a little difficult for him to accept. Even if the final deal was really done, it would still be a bone-breaking auction for the Zhao clan. However, he had hesitated a little before which resulted in the high price! ¡°150,000 spirit stones!¡± Bai Wuheng finally came off the stage, and one could only hear him easily announce a price that was difficult for the others to accept and bear! Helplessly sitting back, Zhao Gongming simply gave up on this auction! Looking at Bai Wuheng¡¯s side profile, his eyes were filled with resentment. No one knew what he was thinking about. Bai Wuheng turned his head to look in the direction of the mysterious person who had bought the Dao-seeking Stone. He saw that his head was lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly. ¡®Just treat it as if you have already given up. It¡¯s a wise choice! If you continue to compete with me, you will not have the slightest chance of winning!¡¯ Bai Wuheng thought proudly. ¡°200,000 spirit stones!¡± In the auction venue, a number that caused everyone to feel suffocated suddenly burst out from a corner. That was the position of the itinerant cultivators who had come from other places! The voice of this person that seemed to have descended from heaven caused the entire temporary auction venue to become quiet. Even a drop of a needle could be heard. Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they looked in the direction of the voice, searching for the owner of the voice. Finally, they found it! Sitting in the corner was an adventurer dressed in rags. The total value of his entire body might not even exceed one spirit stone! In the eyes of the others in Lin City, this person might not even be as well-dressed as them. Where did he get the confidence to dare to raise such a price? ¡°Brother, don¡¯t randomly raise the price. If you can¡¯t afford it, the auction house can punish you¡­¡± Someone beside him wanted to persuade him, but the next moment, a mocking voice sounded. ¡°I¡¯ve lived in Lin City for more than forty years since I was young, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone so arrogant as to dare to cause trouble in a temporary auction house!¡± ¡°Someone! Where are the auction house¡¯s guards? Send this ungrateful fellow out!¡± ¡°Could it be that the Lin auction house has declined as well? They don¡¯t even have the ability to judge the spending power of their customers?¡± Bai Wuheng adjusted the clothes on his chest, pointed at the person who spoke in disdain, and shouted at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage. ¡°What if someone randomly bids and disrupts the order of the auction?¡± Lin Mo had actually been watching from below the stage the entire time. After seeing the situation on the stage, he was not sure if this person had that many spirit stones on him, so he hurriedly asked, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, host! After the system¡¯s examination, he indeed didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones on him. However, he had brought along other items with him, and the value of those items definitely exceeded the price he had bid!¡± After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Mo gave Miao Qing a look of affirmation. ¡°Our Lin clan¡¯s auction house is willing to trust this friend for once. Since he was able to shout out a price, he definitely had sufficient capital.¡± ¡°Master Bai Wuheng! Please don¡¯t disturb the order of the auction house!¡± Miao Qing said righteously to Bai Wuheng. ¡°What?! You dare to speak to me like that?¡± ¡°Who do you think you are? You¡¯re just a lackey, yet you¡¯re rebelling against the heavens¡­¡± Bai Wuheng rolled up his sleeves and shouted angrily, but before he could finish his words, Miao Qing continued the bid. ¡°200,000 spirit stones once!¡± Miao Qing ignored him and continued to maintain the auction as usual. ¡°200,000 spirit stones twice!¡± At this moment, Bai Wuheng completely lost the mood to bid. He only saw him silently turning his head at this time. He suddenly said a few words to a person beside him, then that person quickly ran out of the side door of the auction house. A sinister smile hung on Bai Wuheng¡¯s face as he stared at the shabby-looking adventurer. ¡°200,000 spirit stones thrice! The item is officially sold!¡± [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Autumn Frost Sword Technique! ] [ Successfully triggered five thousand times profit! ] [ Obtained eighth-level sword technique, Four Seasons Sword Technique! ] ¡°This result doesn¡¯t seem to be unacceptable!¡± Although Qi Yueheng did not obtain the Autumn Frost Sword Technique, Zhao Gongming and Bai Wuheng did not obtain it either! Qi Yueheng was the first to bid, but he was also the most open-minded at this time. As long as he did not let the other two big families in Lin City obtain such a subversive cultivation technique, it would not threaten his clan¡¯s position. Besides that, he did not care who won the bid for the Autumn Frost Sword Technique! The adventurer stood up and bowed to Miao Qing on the stage with an excited expression. ¡­ ¡°The sixth item is now up for auction! Fifth-level herb, Bright Heart Herb!¡± Seeing that the auction was over, Miao Qing continued to auction the next item. ¡°What?! It¡¯s Bright Heart Herb?¡± ¡°Hey, Second Brother, hurry up and send some spirit stones over. Yes, send them to the Lin auction house. I need them urgently!¡± ¡°Looks like I came to the right auction today!¡± ¡°My little grandson, you¡¯re saved, sob sob sob¡­¡± ¡­ After clearly hearing the name of the item that was about to be auctioned, everyone present was a little emotional at the moment. Bright Heart Herb had the effect of allowing a cultivator to maintain a clear spiritual stage when they were about to enter a state of qi deviation, protecting their dao foundation from being damaged. The inner demons of the cultivator¡¯s world were everywhere, and once faced with them, even if the cultivator was lucky enough not to die, he or she would be injured! If one said that ordinary cultivation was like sailing against the current, then experiencing the inner demons was roughly equivalent to a human jumping over a waterfall and succeeding in one attempt! There were very few methods that could effectively prevent the invasion of the inner demons. As for the corresponding effects of the heaven and earth treasures, they were only known by their names, not their forms! The Bright Heart Herb was precisely such a treasure! One did not even need to consume it. One could just place it beside one¡¯s body during cultivation. Just the aura that it emitted could greatly reduce the probability of the appearance of the inner demons. For cultivators who had already succumbed to their inner demons, this herb could help to cure them by consuming it. Chapter 103 - The Pinnacle Auction At this moment, regardless of whether it was the big clans or the ordinary cultivators in Lin City, all of them were moved! Regardless of whether their ultimate goal was for themselves, their families, or their descendants, they had to seize this chance to save their lives at such a critical moment! This was because no one could guarantee that their own or their descendants¡¯ cultivation would be free from problems for the rest of their lives. Even if it was just for peace of mind, they still had to grab this Bright Heart Herb! Depending on its level, the herb could even affect everyone within a certain range. The effect of it in the clan could be said to be the blessing of the ancestors! ¡°The starting price for the fifth-level herb, Bright Heart Herb is 10,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones!¡± Miao Qing added. ¡°15,000 spirit stones!¡± Qi Yueheng¡¯s breathing was erratic as he shouted. He could not care less about who ended up with the Autumn Frost Sword Technique. However, it was related to his life, his safety, and his health. He had no choice but to take it seriously! ¡°30,000 spirit stones!¡± You still want to fight with me? Hmph! You little brat! Bai Wuheng expressionlessly glanced at Qi Yueheng. ¡°40,000 spirit stones!¡± This time, the bidder was Zhao Gongming. His son, Zhao Yizhi, had always been unhappy with his cultivation due to his lack of talent. For his son¡¯s future, he even acted as if he was determined to get the herb. The atmosphere at the scene had reached a climax. Even the itinerant cultivators from the three great clans, whom they had never looked at, suddenly stuck out their heads. ¡°45,000 spirit stones!¡± They saw a person with a big and round waist, dressed in a red robe, with a golden python belt tied around his waist, and a melon-skin hat on his head. He looked very festive. ¡°So, it¡¯s an elder of the royal auction house. Why did he leave the huge royal auction house alone and come to the Lin auction house?¡± the moment Qi Yueheng saw that person clearly, he immediately asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t the little old man come here because of Lin Mo¡¯s reputation? Recently, he has been in the limelight. Fortunately, he came today! The Bright Heart Herb has really moved my heart!¡± ¡°The number one clan in the northern part of the eastern continent. This is truly worthy of its name. This foundation makes people envious. I can¡¯t help but admire it.¡± The fat grand elder of the royal auction house shook his head, pointed at Miao Qing on the stage, and said with a smile. Although many people in the crowd also wanted to participate in the auction, with their strength, how could they possibly be better than the grand elder of the royal auction house? As for the clan leaders of the three great clans, how could they not give face to the person-in-charge of the royal auction house? The elder, who saw that he was eager to hunt, also had a firm attitude at this time. He raised the price and did not show any mercy. In the end, he fought against the crowd and successfully bid for the item. The Bright Heart Herb was sold to him at the price of 80,000 spirit stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the fifth-level Bright Heart Herb! ] [300 times the profit received! ] [ Obtained top sixth-level Calming Heart Herb! ] ¡­ ¡°Next, we¡¯ll proceed to the second last item, a fifth-levelCrystal Blood Mosquito Egg. The starting price is 13,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones!¡± This fifth-level demonic beast¡¯s egg was a strange creature that came from the depths of the Black Iron Forest. It had the ability to travel through time and space and transmit information to each other. In other words, if one obtained this egg, one would be able to obtain a large group of eggs through cultivation. Moreover, the eggs were connected hence even in places covered by restrictive powers, the eggs could still transmit information. When exploring outside, under certain circumstances, such a treasure would appear extremely important! ¡°17,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°20,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°28,000 spirit stones!¡± Although its uses were very unique, the previous few items were too precious. Moreover, the cultivation process of demonic beasts was extremely difficult, and the cost was extremely high. The final price of the Crystal Blood Mosquito Egg was only 40,000 spirit stones. Lin Mo felt that this was because Lin City did not have the inheritance of a familiar clan like the Du clan of Qingyang City. Otherwise, the price would definitely go up another level. [ Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the fifth-level demonic beast Crystal Blood Mosquito Egg! ] [ You have received 800 times the rebate! ] [ You have obtained sixth-level demonic beast Crystal Blood Mosquito Egg! ] ¡­ ¡°Next, the final item to be auctioned, a sixth-level Eight Directions Forbidden Array.¡± ¡°The starting price is 20,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spirit stones!¡± In this first auction at the Lin clan auction house, Lin Mo could be said to have spent all of his wealth! This Eight Directions Forbidden Array was a part of the large amount of assets that the Miao clan had. It was originally hidden in an ancient book. If not for the system¡¯s prompt, Lin Mo would not have been able to discover it. At this moment, the second elder below the stage was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth! ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! A mere man like Lin Mo is just a newcomer. He has just arrived in Lin City. How can he have such a deep foundation? ¡°How can he have such a wide network? It¡¯s only the first day, and someone has entrusted the Eight Directions Forbidden Array to him for auction?¡± ¡°Third elder! After you go back, immediately investigate where did he get this item!¡± Standing behind the second elder, the third elder hurriedly nodded when he heard that. The Eight Directions Forbidden Array was a type of ancient array that was said to have the ability to isolate all spells and subdue beasts within an area. It was also the most commonly used array formation in the Forbidden Land of Life. ¡°Oh, there¡¯s a sixth-level defensive array formation, the Eight Directions Forbidden Array! Looks like even the heavens want to give me a chance!¡± Bai Wuheng no longer looked as calm as before. Instead, his eyes were bloodshot as he excitedly looked at the auction tray on the stage. Miao Qing removed the red silk cloth from the tray beside him and a wooden disc appeared. The disc was blurry and one could only see dense lines with unknown meanings engraved on it. There were also strange rays of light flowing within it from time to time. Everyone could also sense the intense energy contained within it. Even the qi in their bodies was obstructed from circulating! This was an auction item specially prepared for large-scale factions. Countless people silently pondered in their hearts. Although they were unable to participate in the bid, they enjoyed watching the others battle for it. ¡°30,000 spirit stones!¡± Clan leader Qi Yueheng was the first to bid. ¡°40,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°60,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡­ After a few rounds of bidding, the price of the bid quickly rose to 100,000 spirit stones! The battle of the pinnacle began! Chapter 104 - Rewards and Revenge The leaders of the small factions had no choice but to give up on the bid due to the ridiculous amount of spirit stones. Even Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, Bai Wuheng, and the elders of the royal auction house who were bidding at this moment felt their hearts skip a beat when faced with such a huge amount of spirit stones! In the crowd, the man in black was currently looking at the leaders of the various factions who had placed their bids through his cloak¡­ The person who needed Lin Mo to check with the system to confirm whether he had the qualifications to bid was also seated at the same spot. As he looked at the frenzied crowd around him, one could not help but feel that the emotions of others were completely different! 120,000 spirit stones! Previously, Zhao Gongming, who had always been unknown and had made a few moves but had failed in the end, once again increased his bid. No one would have thought that the Zhao clan, which was usually known for being poor, would be able to take out such a large portion of their wealth at this moment. ¡°Oh, I never thought that Brother Zhao would be so willing to part with it today? Not even passing the day?¡± Qi Yueheng looked at Zhao Gongming¡¯s flushed face in astonishment and asked. This¡­ Every clan had its own difficulties! ¡°Please show mercy, clan leader Qi and clan leader Bai, and let me have this Eight Directions Forbidden Array.¡± Qi Yueheng did not care. His family was best at offensive techniques and never advocated defense. ¡°Since clan leader Zhao likes it, then I¡¯ll give this array formation to you!¡± Qi Yueheng waved his hand and said indifferently. ¡°150,000 spirit stones!¡± However, Bai Wuheng exhaled a breath of air and announced a price that was 30,000 higher than Zhao Gongming¡¯s. ¡°Clan leader Bai! You! Isn¡¯t it just a small matter? Why are you so bothered?¡± ¡°Hmph! It¡¯s just a small matter that clan leader Zhao shouldn¡¯t be bothered by it!¡± Bai Wuheng said to Zhao Gongming in a weird tone. However, what Bai Wuheng was thinking in his heart was different. The defensive power of this sixth-level cultivation formation was shocking, and it was most suitable for large clans. However, that was only if their own powers were still present! He did not believe that a mere Zhao clan could compete with his Bai clan in terms of foundation and wealth. However, he was also prepared to let his son, Bai Yanlang go back and prepare some more spirit stones. If there were others who continued to make things difficult for him, then he did not mind fighting them to the end. Even Zhao Gongming sighed helplessly and sat back down dejectedly. In the end, Bai Wuheng used a price of 150,000 spirit stones to obtain the formation. ¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the sixth-level cultivation formation, Eight Directions Forbidden Array! ] [ You have received a 1000-fold rebate! ] [ You have obtained the eighth-level cultivation formation, Ten Directions Forbidden Array! ] ¡°The auction of the Lin auction house has officially ended! Everyone is welcome to come again. The next auction will be held three days later!¡± As Miao Qing had not received much training from a proper auctioneer, he left the stage after giving a brief introduction of everything. At this moment, all the witnesses in the auction venue, who had more inside information quickly spread the news with what they knew. In one auction, the appearances of fifth and sixth-level subdued beasts, herbs, and long-lost sword techniques had always been rare, especially in Lin City! This auction continued Lin Mo¡¯s tradition of starting the auction at a low price. However, the final transaction volume had increased by 50%! ¡­ ¡°Thank you! Thank you all so much!¡± in the appraisal room, an adventurer dressed in tattered clothes held Lin Mo¡¯s hands and said. ¡°You can rest assured that our Lin auction house never bullies the market. Anyone who tries to mess around here will not have a good ending!¡± ¡°This is the technique you obtained from the auction, Autumn Frost Sword Technique!¡± Lin Mo took out a box made of yellow pear wood. ¡°Please forgive me. I don¡¯t have many primeval stones on me!¡± The instant he saw the sword technique, the adventurer stood up and was about to kneel on the ground. Lin Mo immediately stretched out his hand and qi surged out. Immediately, his half-bowed knees stopped in mid-air. ¡°This¡­¡± The adventurer looked at Lin Mo in shock. This person¡¯s qi was so dense! ¡°It¡¯s alright, I know what you mean. It should be a pretty good item that is worthy of your attention. Take it out and have a look!¡± Lin Mo smiled as he looked over without any surprise. Suddenly, the adventurer¡¯s eyes turned red. Looking at the warm smile that was right in front of him, the adventurer suddenly fell silent. Without saying a word, he opened the bag on his back without the slightest bit of reluctance. Within two seconds, he took out three items and placed them on the ground! ¡°Sixth-level spiritual artifact, Azure Cloud Dagger!¡± ¡°Sixth-level ore, Azure Gold Treasure Mine!¡± ¡°Mysterious Land Treasure Map!¡± ¡°These are the three most valuable items I have on me. You¡¯ve won my admiration. Now, I¡¯ll give them all to you!¡± the adventurer named Yan Rong said. The items were appraised by the system. Not only were they enough to make up for Yan Rong¡¯s lack of 200,000 spirit stones, but there was also quite a bit of surplus! ¡°You gave me the most valuable treasure on you just for a sword technique?¡± Lin Mo suddenly became a little curious about his background. ¡°This¡­ I don¡¯t dare to hide it from you!¡± Yan Rong did not struggle for long. He gritted his teeth and told Lin Mo the truth. It turned out that he was the first disciple of the Qing Huai Holy Land, one of the nine great holy lands of the eastern continent. That was the case three years ago until a group of people suddenly attacked the sect. Even his master, Sect Master Qing Shi of the Holy Land could not do anything against them. Those people all had unknown origins and were very powerful. They said that they were looking for something. A battle broke out and not long after that, he was labeled as a traitor of the sect and placed on the sect¡¯s must-kill list! After that, the sect announced to the public that his master had colluded with the demonic sect and wanted to cultivate the blood devil technique! Yan Rong did not believe it! However, to investigate the truth of that incident and to prove his master¡¯s innocence, Yan Rong had long risked his life and began to wander the world. ¡°The reason why I bid for this Autumn Frost Sword Technique is to test one of my ideas. If I succeed, my strength will greatly increase, and I can secretly return to the sect to find out the truth!¡± ¡°So, that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± According to what Lin Mo knew, there were four great empires on the eastern continent. The one he was in was called the Yanhuang Divine Empire, and the other three were called the Great Yan Divine Empire, the Great Ancient Divine Empire, and the Lujin Divine Empire. As for the nine sacred lands, he had never heard of them. Chapter 105 - Truth and Transformation ¡°Yan Rong, how strong are you now?¡± ¡°Ninth-level dragon transformation realm!¡± Yan Rong immediately replied. ¡°Do you know who the sect master of the Qing Huai Holy Land is now?¡± ¡°I do. Back then, Master¡¯s favorite little junior brother, deputy sect master Qing Xiao, was also the person who cared about me the most. Unfortunately, he was imprisoned by the wicked people all these years! One day, I¡¯ll definitely save all of them!¡± Yan Rong said fiercely as if he hated his own incompetence. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at Yan Rong and sighed helplessly. He was also a person who had a hard life! However, he had a somewhat different view. It was just that saying it out loud was a little too hurtful! ¡°Why don¡¯t you cultivate in the Lin auction house first? After you¡¯ve recovered your strength, you can go and take revenge. How about it?¡± Lin Mo could see that Yan Rong was already penniless. If he were to leave now, he would probably have to sleep on the streets! ¡°Oh no, I can¡¯t!¡± Yan Rong hurriedly shook his head when he heard that. ¡°I can¡¯t repay your kindness. Now that I have a glimmer of hope for revenge, how can I trouble you?¡± as he said that, he was about to walk out. ¡°Why are you in such a rush? Why don¡¯t you recuperate here first before setting off? Of course, I don¡¯t do business at a loss. If you stay in my auction house, I need you to be my guard to ensure the safety of this auction house. How about it?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then it would be impolite for me to refuse!¡± Yan Rong¡¯s tone was a little choked up, and he stood at the door, not daring to turn his head. ¡°Miao Qing, bring Yan Rong to find a room to stay in. From now on, he¡¯ll be a guard of our auction house!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡­ At night, in Lin Mo¡¯s room. ¡°Master, are you really letting a person you¡¯ve never met become a guard at the auction house? If he¡­¡± Miao Qing¡¯s tone was agitated. ¡°Miao Qing, you can¡¯t just look at the surface. Do you know how much the three items he took out today are worth? Three treasures for a total of 300,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°What?! 300,000 spirit stones? Master, then we¡¯ve picked up a huge bargain!¡± Miao Qing said excitedly. ¡°Yan Rong really doesn¡¯t know the value of these items, but I believe in the judgment of the people in the sacred land. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have bid 200,000 spirit stones for the Autumn Frost Sword Art!¡± ¡°Master, are you saying that he knows that these three items are treasures, but he doesn¡¯t know much they are worth?¡± ¡°He definitely knows the value isn¡¯t 200,000 spirit stones!¡± ¡°Master, then I¡¯m a little confused. Then, he did this because¡­¡± ¡°Because of what you said on the stage! And also because of what I did when I went to see him. Otherwise, we¡¯d probably only be able to get two treasures this time!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Miao Qing exclaimed, his pupils dilating. ¡°That¡¯s right. How can I be suspicious of such a righteous person?¡± ¡°Oh right, guard the warehouse for the next few nights to prevent anyone from causing trouble! At the same time, continue to purchase auction items from Lin City. Spread the news that our auction house¡¯s commission will be reduced to 10%!¡± ¡°In the next few days, I¡¯ll be cultivating. If there¡¯s nothing else, don¡¯t disturb me!¡± Lin Mo issued a few orders to him. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡­ In the Bai clan residence. ¡°Trash! All a bunch of trash! ¡°I¡¯ve raised you all for nothing after all these years! ¡°You don¡¯t even know that the Lin clan is hiding such a treasure. I also don¡¯t know what you¡¯ve done in hiding!¡± Bai Wuheng smashed the last vase in the room with all his might as he scolded the figure kneeling on the ground. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve become the confidant of the Lin clan¡¯s higher-ups? How could they not show any signs of auctioning such a precious item?¡± The secret agent kneeling on the ground was suffering. Everything had been fine previously, and he had already obtained the list of items to be auctioned. In the end, Lin Mo suddenly descended from the sky and messed everything up. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that I went today. Otherwise, I might not even know that the Zhao clan has an additional sealing formation! I almost missed the opportunity to weaken the strength of both clans!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, clan leader. I¡¯ll pack up my belongings now!¡± Packing up was the slang of the Bai clan¡¯s secret agents. It meant that he was prepared to commit suicide! ¡°Forget it! I¡¯ll give you another chance. Go to Lin Mo¡¯s subordinate. I want all of his information! Everything! Even the color of his underwear!¡± ¡°Yes! Thank you for your trust, Master. I won¡¯t let you down!¡± The secret agent kowtowed hard, producing a dull thud. ¡­ ¡°Someone!¡± Not long after, another voice came from Bai Wuheng¡¯s room. ¡°Clan leader, what are your orders?¡± ¡°Call Master Kun Cheng over. I have the key to negotiate with him!¡± ¡°No need! I¡¯m already here!¡± A loud voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. ¡°Oh, Master Kun Cheng, why are you here?¡± Bai Wuheng hurriedly stood up to welcome him. With his identity as a formation master, even if Kun Cheng¡¯s cultivation was low, no one would dare to look down on him. There were even more experts who wanted to volunteer to be his bodyguards! Therefore, Bai Wuheng was extremely polite to Kun Cheng. The subordinates in the room also tactfully left on their own accord. ¡°Master Bai is killing everyone in the Lin auction house today. You¡¯re incomparably awe-inspiring! Hahaha!¡± Master Kun Cheng walked in on his own and ignored the debris on the ground as he sat down on a chair. ¡°Sigh, isn¡¯t that just to guard against villains? In this day and age, there are always people who overestimate themselves and want to try everything!¡± ¡°Master Kun Cheng, please take a look. This is today¡¯s spoils of war. It¡¯s a sixth-level cultivation array ¨C Eight Directions Forbidden Array!¡± Even though Master Kun Cheng did not express his stance, Bai Wuheng still took the initiative to offer up the auction proceeds. ¡°Hahaha, I still have to thank Master Bai for his generous trust. I¡¯ll study this formation and start upgrading all of the Bai residence¡¯s defensive formations!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been looking everywhere for the Eight Directions Forbidden Array but unfortunately, I¡¯ve never been able to study it. Today, I¡¯ve finally achieved my wish!¡± after flipping through the round wooden formation plate in his hands twice, Kun Cheng said confidently. ¡°The design of this array board coincides with some of my ideas. This can increase the speed of analyzing the array formation by at least five times!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, clan leader Bai. This time, I¡¯m confident that from the day the array formation is completed, even if a fifth-level dragon transformation realm expert comes, I¡¯ll make him suffer!¡± ¡°Oh, then the matter of upgrading the array formation will all depend on you. It¡¯s still the same. Hand over the list of required materials to the people below. They will have everything ready!¡± ¡°Good! I like to make friends with heroes like clan leader Bai! In less than ten days, the formation will definitely be upgraded!¡± Chapter 106 - Conspiracy It was night. The second elder¡¯s courtyard. The bright moon hung high in the sky. The water of the lake reflected the stars in the sky like a clear mirror. In the pavilion, the second elder, who was wearing a plain white robe was holding a glass in his hand. He looked at the liquor in the glass with a dazed look. He heard footsteps behind him. ¡°Father, you¡¯re looking for me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my son, Huaiyuan! Take a seat!¡± The second elder hurriedly turned around and saw a cold-looking young man standing behind him. ¡°Father, why are you so sad? Who in Lin City dares to mess with Dad?¡± Lin Huaiyuan asked as he walked into the pavilion. ¡°Alas, it¡¯s a long story!¡± The second elder shook his head as he told Huaiyuan about what happened in the past few days. Unexpectedly, Lin Huaiyuan burst out into laughter after hearing that. ¡°You¡¯re just a kid. It¡¯s nothing to be concerned about! You must¡¯ve your own way to deal with this kind of people. So now you¡¯re asking me to test me!¡± After hearing that, the second elder put down his wine glass. His eyes became clear instantly. He just looked at him with a smile. ¡°Well¡­ it¡¯s easy to deal with this matter. I have three strategies. If you could execute them, you could defeat the enemy!¡± Lin Huaiyuan said after sitting on the ground for a short while. ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Lin Mo¡¯s high-profile entrance is indeed a great scheme. It¡¯s easy for him to gain this reputation. Therefore, my first plan is to take advantage of the situation! ¡°High-quality and low-price are his main attractions. Then, let¡¯s ensure everyone knows about it. To make the clan leader feel at ease, he must auction at a high price!¡± Having said that, Lin Huaiyuan sneaked a glance at the second elder and found that he did not have any intention to stop him. Feeling inspired, he became very excited. ¡°The second plan is to attack the warehouse in the dark! In front of the clan leader, we should show our attitude and support Lin Mo¡¯s actions. Don¡¯t we have the spare key to the auction house? We should find someone to take away the items in the warehouse! Let him have nothing to auction for! As long as Lin Mo, wants to have a place in the Lin clan, he can only solve the auction items by himself!¡± As Lin Huaiyuan spoke, he seemed to have convinced himself of his plan as he became more and more passionate! ¡°The third strategy, take drastic measures! If we find that the auction house doesn¡¯t have any good items, we¡¯ll go to the market to collect them. Then, we only need to use the name of the Lin clan to ambush him in advance so that he won¡¯t be able to collect the treasures! ¡°As he¡¯s a disabled person who has been expelled, even if he got an opportunity, so what if he has some treasures? I don¡¯t believe that he has so many treasures at low prices. He can hold on for a while but will he be able to hold on for a lifetime?¡± ¡°Father, among these three strategies, if he wants to borrow the strength of others or resist them by himself, he¡¯ll die! ¡°Of course, at the same time, we can also find someone to interfere in the auction venue and embarrass him. With multiple measures, I don¡¯t believe that Lin Mo can still be as arrogant!¡± Lin Huaiyuan looked at the second elder who was sitting beside the pavilion with a red face. ¡°Not bad! It seems that my son has been reborn after cultivating with Grandmaster Bai all these years! That¡¯s good! I¡¯ll leave this matter to you. If you need my help, just let me know! ¡°My son has made some achievements in his studies and returned to his hometown with honor. Since the clan leader is an old fool, I won¡¯t stand in ceremony with him! When we take the entire Lin clan into our hands, I¡¯ll make them suffer a fate worse than death!¡± the second elder stood up and said with a ferocious look with disheveled hair. ¡°Thank you, Father! Since we¡¯re going to fight, I¡¯ll give a good fight. Also, I¡¯ll tell the Lin clan that I, Lin Huaiyuan, am back! ¡°No need to trouble you, Father. This time, I¡¯ve even called a few senior and junior brothers. We all have excellent methods. Lin Mo is just an abandoned disciple of the Lin clan. Let¡¯s see how many more days he can survive!¡± After saying that, Lin Huaiyuan looked at the second elder confidently. The second elder smiled while Lin Huaiyuan also smiled. The two of them looked at each other, then laughed so hard that they fell back and forth. Their laughter traveled out of the courtyard for a long time. ¡­ Not long after Lin Huaiyuan left, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard where Lin Yuanbai was. ¡°Lin Yuanbai! You lied to me on purpose before, right? If I didn¡¯t go to the Lin auction house today, I¡¯m afraid that eunuch Zhao would turn the sky upside down!¡± This person came with a questioning tone. Lin Yuanbai raised his head and saw that it was Bai Wuheng. ¡°Brother Bai, you¡¯ve misunderstood me. I¡¯ve just received the news that Lin Mo has accepted the auction house! Who would have thought that the clan leader had given such order?!¡± Moreover, it was only the second day and Lin Mo had already started the auction. He had no idea where he got such treasures! The second elder also had a helpless look on his face at this moment. ¡°That has nothing to do with me!¡± ¡°Since you and I have already formed a contract, the problem lies on your side and this is your fault. You even wasted more than 100,000 spirit stones from me!¡± However, even after hearing the second elder¡¯s explanation, Bai Wuheng still did not intend to let this matter go. Instead, he continued to question him. ¡°What do you plan to do next? You can¡¯t just watch Lin Mo occupy the Lin auction house and take away our shares!¡± ¡°Hahaha, clan leader Bai, please rest assured. I¡¯ve found a method to get rid of him! My son, Huaiyuan, has already returned!¡± Lin Yuanbai looked at Bai Wuheng with a bright light in his eyes. His eyes were full of smiles. ¡°Oh? Then I wonder how strong he is now?¡± Bai Wuheng was immediately attracted by this and hurriedly asked. ¡°Ninth-level dragon transformation realm!¡± Lin Yuanbai proudly said word by word. ¡°Oh? Hahahaha! In that case, this matter will be decided by the second elder of the Lin clan. Oh, no, it¡¯s supposed to be clan leader Lin!¡± After hearing Lin Yuanbai¡¯s words, Bai Wuheng was stunned for a moment. Then, his tone softened rapidly and he changed his words. After knowing that Lin Yuanbai had his own way to deal with Lin Mo, he instantly let out a sigh of relief. When he left, he even gave Lin Yuanbai a friendly look. Due to the information he got, Lin Mo had just stepped into the dragon transformation realm! Plus Lin Yuanbai¡¯s son, Lin Huaiyuan, had come back from that place! Presumably, after that person¡¯s adjustment, Lin Huaiyuan¡¯s current strength and methods must be better, right? Recalling that misty figure and that ice-cold gaze, even though it had been many years, Bai Wuheng still could not help but shiver when he recalled it. .. Chapter 107 - The Battle Immortal Sect There was no curfew in Lin City at night. There were still many pedestrians strolling on the long street, enjoying the prosperity of the second largest city in the north of the East Continent. There were many people on the brightly-lit avenue. In fact, there were also many people in the dark alleys. After Lin Huaiyuan finished his conversation with his father, Lin Yuanbai, he directly left the Lin clan and entered the alley. After several twists and turns, he arrived at an inn in a remote place. Lin Huaiyuan did not go through the front door. Instead, he jumped onto the roof. With his feet hooked on the beam under the eaves, he stretched out his right hand and knocked five times in front of a window. The next moment, that window opened leisurely. Lin Huaiyuan jumped in without hesitation. ¡°Eldest Brother! Second Brother! Third Brother! Senior Brother Lu Gan! Senior Brother Yu Shenkong!¡± Lin Huaiyuan greeted over 10 people in the room one by one. ¡°Junior Brother Lin, why did you come so late? Master said that there was a prosperous event waiting for us here. Fortunately, I sneaked into Master¡¯s study. You wouldn¡¯t know what I found!¡± second senior brother Su Zhican said with a mysterious look. Lin Huaiyuan glanced back and forth at the other people present. First senior brother Zhao Liren and third senior brother Jonas were also looking at him quietly as if they were waiting for his answer. ¡°I don¡¯t understand the reason! Please enlighten me! However, no matter what the real reason is, I¡¯m on the same side as the other senior brothers!¡± Lin Huaiyuan understood that this was not the key. The key was that these senior brothers were testing him. After figuring it out, he admitted it frankly. ¡°Hahaha, good! I knew that you¡¯re not stubborn! Those who stick to cultivation should cultivate diligently,¡± second senior brother Su Zhican said with a resentful tone as if he meant something. Meanwhile, the others in the room did not say anything. ¡°I found a secret letter from the sacred land of Shenji in Master¡¯s study!¡± ¡°What?! The sacred land of Shenji?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that the sacred land that can pry into the secrets of heaven and earth and predict the future of the era?¡± ¡°What did they say in the letter, Eldest Senior Brother?¡± Lin Huaiyuan asked hurriedly. After all, this was related to the future of his clan. ¡°There are no words in that letter! There¡¯s only a picture. What¡¯s weird is that it seems to be seen from the lake. The sun, the moon, and the stars are below, but the mountains and lakes are above?¡± second senior brother, Su Zhican, also scratched his head and said in a calm and doubtful tone, because he did not understand the meaning of this picture. Lin Huaiyuan thought for a long time but still could not figure it out. Therefore, he turned around and said to over 10 people in the room, ¡°Senior Brothers, since Master said that wealth is waiting for us in the human world, why not start from Lin City?¡± ¡°That¡¯s exactly what we thought. After all, Junior Brother Lin is the richest among us. Otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t follow him to Lin City!¡± ¡°But we¡¯ve been cultivating for many years and don¡¯t care about the affairs of the world. Where exactly is this wealth? I still have no clue!¡± eldest senior brother Zhao Liren shook his head and asked with frustration. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, please don¡¯t do that. Thank you for your trust! Junior Brother, you have a chance to become rich. I wonder if you¡¯d want to?¡± ¡°Oh? What is it? Tell me!¡± Eldest senior brother Zhao Liren hurriedly looked over. Therefore, Lin Huaiyuan briefly recounted what Lin Mo had done recently. Then, he looked at his senior brothers and said, ¡°Senior Brothers, if we can remove Lin Mo from the position of the owner of the Lin auction house and help my father take over the Lin clan, then I can give five years¡¯ worth of taxes in Lin City to all the Senior Brothers present here!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Although Lin Huaiyuan seemed to be asking for his senior brother¡¯s opinion, he had already made up his mind. First senior brother Zhao Liren, second senior brother Su Zhican, and third senior brother Jonas exchanged a glance. When they were cultivating in the sect, they were not even on the same mountain. However, they felt powerful enough to establish their own sect after leaving the mountain. Therefore, they called each other senior brothers. ¡°Since Junior Brother Huaiyuan has such an awareness, how could I refuse? We¡¯ll do as you say!¡± ¡°Exactly! How dare an ant who has just entered the dragon transformation realm disrespect us? He¡¯s really tired of living!¡± ¡°How dare someone bully Junior Brother¡¯s family members? I¡¯ll teach him a lesson for you. I¡¯ll twist that brat¡¯s head back and kick it for you!¡± ¡°Senior Brothers! Junior Brother said that he bravely wanted to kill Lin Mo to vent his anger. I wonder what Senior Brother¡¯s opinion is?¡± The people in the room started to whisper to each other. In a short while, Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong stood out and cupped their fists with both hands as they said to senior martial brother Zhao Liren. ¡°Good! Since the two Junior Brothers have such thoughts, then I¡¯m extremely gratified! Both of you are at the ninth-level of dragon transformation realm with a solid foundation. Dealing with a brat who has just entered the soul formation realm is a piece of cake. Then I¡¯ll wait for your good news here!¡± Eldest martial brother Zhao Liren glanced at Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong before nodding his head vigorously. Their target was merely a brat who had entered the dragon transformation realm. It was not worth his attention, much less for him to take action personally! It was more fitting to let his junior brother handle this matter. Therefore, the two of them left the room and headed for the Lin auction house. Even though Lin Huaiyuan wanted to give them the key to the back door of the Lin auction house, he was rejected by them. ¡­ Under the silver moon, a clear and cold light poured down. Two figures jumped into the room one after another through the window, but none of the defensive and detection methods in the room were triggered! The two of them also appeared in the warehouse of the Lin auction house without making a single sound. One of them wiped his eyes with his left hand and immediately emitted a faint red glow. After scanning the surroundings, one of them shook his head in disappointment at the other. Thus, the two of them swaggered out of the warehouse¡¯s main entrance. It was as if they did not pay attention to the situation here. In their eyes, all of this did not matter. It was as if everything was as it should be. After looking through a few warehouses, they did not find anything. The two of them looked at each other and decided to split up. They were already impatient! After a while, one of them stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Not long after, the other person appeared beside him. After that, one of them stretched out his hand and drew a line. A light green light flashed. The warehouse door that stored precious auction items suddenly opened. The lock made of fine steel did not have any effect at all. Chapter 108 - The Thief and the Fight After that, the two of them decisively stepped into the warehouse. After looking around, their eyes were filled with excitement. They grabbed the brocade box on the shelf next to them and put it into the bag behind them. ¡°Senior Brother, I never thought that there would be so many good things in this place! Fortunately, we were quick-witted and decided to loot this place first!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much. Hurry up. Don¡¯t forget that we still have to kill people!¡± ¡­ ¡°You two are really powerful! Even this steel door can¡¯t defend against you!¡± A voice suddenly came from behind the two who were working hard, followed by the sound of a deep breath. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± One of the black shadows turned his head and looked at the person at the door. He gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone. He pulled from his back. A long sword instantly appeared in his hand. At the same time, he quickly rushed over. After taking a look at the target¡¯s position, he saw that person¡¯s right hand slide over from top to bottom. A green arc of light flashed in the air! Seeing that the enemy was coming over, Yan Rong¡¯s eyes showed no fear. He took out his weapon and struck out with his rod. After a hasty attack, the two were evenly matched. ¡°Seventh-level dragon transformation realm strength¡­ Who are you? There shouldn¡¯t be people with such level in this place!¡± Yu Shenkong looked at Yan Rong and said in puzzlement. ¡°To be able to fight to a draw with me, a ninth-level dragon transformation realm, it seems that your cultivation is quite high-level. But in a while, you¡¯ll be defeated by me!¡± Lu Gan also walked over. Then, the two watched Yan Rong suddenly attack at the same time. Lu Gan used a pair of iron fists, causing a whistling sound in the air. It was obvious that his power was strong. As for Yu Shenkong¡¯s longsword, it was as graceful as the wind and like a shadow. Yan Rong was indeed worthy of being a disciple of one of the nine great holy lands. Even when facing the pincer attacks of two people whose strength surpassed his own, he was able to fight evenly with them. ¡°Looking at the way you two are dressed, you don¡¯t look like assassins or thieves. Tell me your names! If there really is a problem, I can plead for you with the owner. Perhaps we can deal with today¡¯s matter easily!¡± ¡°Still calling him the owner? The two of us are here today to take his life!¡± Yu Shenkong said with disdain. ¡°Since you dare to speak so rudely about the owner, then don¡¯t blame me for not being polite!¡± Yan Rong, who had been treated as a good Samaritan, felt his heart sink. He narrowed his eyes slightly and the rod in his hand attacked more frequently. It even left afterimages in the air. Seeing that the mysterious person who had suddenly appeared was being pincer attacked by the two of them, Yu Shenkong, who seemed to have already known that the mission today would not go smoothly, gradually gained the upper hand. Yu Shenkong seemed to have made up his mind as he suddenly shouted, ¡°Junior Brother Lu Gan! Get out of the way!¡± Then, he reached out and took out an orange stone from his chest. Then, without any hesitation, he aimed at Yan Rong and threw it out! As soon as Yu Shenkong finished his sentence, Lu Gan threw Yan Rong, who was fighting with him, to the side and dodged. The moment the orange stone was thrown by Yu Shenkong, it emitted a bright orange-yellow light, and its aura gradually became intense. The explosive stone contained a large amount of violent fire elements. As long as one used a little yuan qi to stimulate it, a violent explosion would occur after three breaths. Its power was comparable to the full strength of a ninth-level powerhouse of the dragon transformation realm. Yan Rong noticed the thing that Yu Shenkong threw at him from the corner of his eye. He snorted lightly and said, ¡°You want to deal with me with just a small explosive stone?¡± As he said that, he raised the rod in his hand and poked the tip. The rod gradually emitted a faint blue luster. ¡°Hmph!¡± Suddenly, Yan Rong¡¯s entire body jolted! Even his hand that was reaching out paused for a moment. Even so, his actions did not seem to be affected much. The rod continued thrusting out as though it was carrying out its mission. Through the activation of the qi in Yu Shenkong¡¯s body, the fluctuation of the explosive flame stone had reached its peak. It was about to explode at the next moment, but it had come into contact with Yan Rong¡¯s rod! Following that, in the blink of an eye, the azure glow on the rod enveloped the unstable fluctuation on the flame stone and quickly suppressed it. The explosive flame stone that had already been stimulated was forcefully suppressed. At this instant, Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong had also noticed Yan Rong¡¯s flaw! The danger was imminent! Just as Yan Rong sealed the explosive flame stone, Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong attacked at the same time. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, attacked at the same time with a longsword and an iron fist. They were about to land on Yan Rong¡¯s body. Although he was in danger, Yan Rong was still as calm as a breeze. He did not seem to care about his situation. He slightly raised his rod and drew a strange arc in the air. From the trajectory, it seemed that he would be able to block all the attacks. However, his body trembled violently again. This time, it was even more intense. Blood even flowed out from the corner of Yan Rong¡¯s mouth! ¡°Hehe, prepare to die!¡± Seeing that he could no longer block the attacks, Yan Rong could only close his eyes helplessly. He had already tried his best, but in the end, he was no match for the two of them. If it was not for the restriction in his body, then there was still a chance for him to win this battle, right? Thinking about his life, although Yan Rong had lived a miserable life, he felt that he was worthy of the heavens and earth and worthy of his master! However, not being able to clear his master¡¯s name was a great regret in his life. Dying here today could be considered as not disgracing his master¡¯s usual teachings! ¡°This life is over!¡± Closing his eyes, Yan Rong began to wait for the final moment of his death. However, after waiting for a long time, he did not feel any pain as he had expected. Instead, he heard two heavy objects falling to the ground in front of him and being dragged along. Opening his eyes in surprise, Yan Rong discovered that the two people who had fought with him previously had been thrown more than twenty meters away. They had even left two black scratches on the ground! This¡­ They were staring behind him in disbelief. ¡®What¡¯s happening behind me?¡¯ Yan Rong turned back to look, only to discover that it was the auction house owner, Lin Mo. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yan Rong, who had been saved by Lin Mo, asked somewhat awkwardly. ¡°Hmph, if I don¡¯t come now, you¡¯ll be killed by them!¡± Lin Mo glanced at him, then walked forward. Lin Mo possessed many top level cultivation and sword techniques. He was definitely able to easily defeat these people! ¡°Looks like some people really don¡¯t give up on their evil intentions! Since they can¡¯t win in the open, they¡¯re going to play dirty, right?¡± Lin Mo muttered as he walked. Chapter 109 - Instant Kill and Life Refinement ¡°Since some people have already poked their noses into places they shouldn¡¯t have, then they should be prepared to be killed!¡± Taking out the scythe, Lin Mo decided to put an end to these two thieves who sneaked in in the middle of the night. He did not bother to know who these two were at all. ¡°With just you? It was just a successful sneak attack. What¡¯s there to be proud of?¡± Yu Shenkong used his hands to support himself on the ground with great difficulty as he stood up with hatred in his eyes. He sheathed the longsword in his hand and drew an arc in the air with his two hands. Within this sealed and precious warehouse, a gust of black gale suddenly appeared! As soon as the gale appeared, it began to swirl and gather in front of Yu Shenkong¡¯s chest. Then, it split into two small balls in his hands. ¡°Divine Aura Slash!¡± Yu Shenkong shouted and slashed forward with his right hand in the shape of a blade. A black gale surged out and was about to devour everything in this place! This was the power of the gale! Lin Mo was stunned for a moment before taking out a pearl from his backpack. It was a seventh-level treasure, the Wind Controlling Pearl, which he had obtained from the auction. The Wind Stabilizing Pearl and the Wind Controlling Pearl ¨C although their names were only one word apart, the effect of a seventh-level treasure was clearly higher than that of a fifth-level treasure. Furthermore, it also possessed the wind stabilizing ability! Following the appearance of the azure-colored pearl, Lin Mo held it in his hand as he looked expectantly at the incoming gale. In the next moment, all of the raging gales disappeared! The warehouse returned to its silent state, leaving only the nearby people with wide eyes. They looked at Yu Shenkong in disbelief, unable to understand what had happened. ¡°What¡¯s this thing? Where¡¯s my Divine Aura Slash?¡± he looked at the azure pearl in Lin Mo¡¯s hand and asked. Lin Mo did not have the desire to answer his doubts. He raised the sickle and was about to attack him. Yu Shenkong rubbed his hands together in front of his chest. He still wanted to summon a gale but was firmly suppressed by the Wind Controlling Pearl. Ever since Lin Mo had obtained this seventh-level treasure, it had not been used in battle! It could change its weight and length according to its owner¡¯s thoughts. This was very much in line with Lin Mo¡¯s intentions! ¡°Haaa!¡± Lu Gan, who was at the side, suddenly charged forward, an earthen yellow light spreading out. His entire body rapidly expanded, appearing just like a magical modified version of the Hulk that was currently transforming. The muscles on his body bulged out like lumps of dirt. Looking at this huge fellow, Lin Mo did not have any thoughts of engaging in close combat with him. He would never be merciful toward his enemies. This was his rule! Following the activation of the seventh-level Golden Shield Art, specks of golden light appeared beside Lin Mo¡¯s body. Surrounded by the golden light, he looked like a god. His skin was also constantly emitting a golden color, filled with a supreme nobility and a majesty that could not be offended! Following that, Lin Mo activated the seventh-level Swimming Dragon Steps and used the fifth-level Star Shattering Dragon Fist. On the way, he easily dodged the attack of the giant Lu Gan, passing by his side. The wind severing scythe in his hand waved gently. He had been watching Lin Mo by the side, who was clearly in contrast to the rumors. While Yu Shenkong was in a daze, he did not expect that danger had already arrived. The scythe moved. Even though Yu Shenkong was standing at the side, he was instantly beheaded! A huge head rolled on the ground like a soccer ball. Yu Shenkong¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief even till his death! ¡°You! You killed Yu Shenkong? I¡¯ll fight it out with you!¡± the remaining gigantic figure suddenly shouted. His tone was filled with grief and anger. ¡°Do you know that Senior Brother Yu Shenkong is the successor of the fierce Divine Aura Slash in the sect? He¡¯s the disciple that Master values the most. The Battle Immortal Sect will not let you off!¡± Ignoring the ineffectual and furious Lu Gan, Lin Mo looked at his gigantic figure that seemed to be on the verge of crystallizing and suddenly had a better solution. With a wave of Lin Mo¡¯s right hand, the seventh-level Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier that he had obtained from the auction earlier, appeared in his hand. It looked like a large bronze chime clock. On its surface were nine long dragons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. The bodies of these long dragons were covered with flame-like patterns, and from time to time, a divine light would flash through them, appearing to contain a mystical might. With the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier in hand, Lin Mo threw it at Lu Gan. The bronze chime grew bigger in the wind as if it had spirituality! When it came to Lu Gan¡¯s side, it had already expanded to the point that it could cover his entire body! At this moment, Lu Gan looked at the chime that suddenly flew over with some confusion. He was at a loss, but he quickly clenched his fists and stared at the cover above his head, intending to punch it. No matter what the use of this shield was, as long as it did not let him get close to him, it would be fine! Lu Gan thought to himself. However, what he did not expect was that when the bronze shield was thrown above his head and out of his attack radius, it suddenly lost its color and disappeared! The next moment, with a loud bang, the transparent Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier had already enveloped Lu Gan. ¡°Roar!¡± ¡°What¡¯s this thing?! Quickly let me out!¡± Lu Gan waved his iron fist as he smashed it toward the transparent barrier in front of him. However, no matter how much strength he used, this barrier did not move. Even when his fist that contained origin energy landed on it, not a single ripple could be stirred! ¡®Since I can¡¯t break through from the side, then I can at least dig downward! If I can¡¯t break this barrier, then I can at least run away!¡¯ Thus, Lu Gan changed his fist into a palm and stabbed toward the ground. However, what he did not expect was that the ground beneath his feet had also become tough. It looked no different from the transparent barrier beside him! Seeing that the situation was not progressing as he had imagined, Lu Gan was completely flustered. He smashed around randomly. At times, he waved his fists, and at other times, his feet moved like the wind. He even used the head-on collision technique, but it was useless to change the current situation! Looking at Lu Gan who was being suppressed under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier, Lin Mo did not understand his intentions. He pushed the qi in his body toward the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier. Following that, the nine spiraling dragons appeared, bringing extreme heat and flames to the sealed space. ¡°Ah!!!¡± A pained cry sounded out, but Lin Mo remained expressionless. Not long after, there was no movement within the barrier. When everything calmed down and the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier had opened again, there was only a pile of ash and some energy crystals left in front of him. At this moment, Yan Rong also hurriedly ran over, followed by a team of guards from the auction house. After seeing the remnants of the battle, these people stared at Lin Mo with their mouths agape. ¡°Miao Qing, clean up the scene and send their belongings to my room. Yan Rong, follow me!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Chapter 110 - Healing and Loyalty ¡°Are you injured?¡± Lin Mo looked at Yan Rong and asked. Previously, when Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong entered the Lin auction house, Lin Mo had noticed them. However, he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he followed them to see what their motives were. What happened next made him feel extremely gratified. Not long after, Yan Rong discovered the abnormality in the warehouse and immediately headed there to fight with the other party! With the strength of a mere seventh-level dragon transformation realm, not only was he not at a disadvantage when fighting with the other party who was at the ninth level of the dragon transformation realm, he even gradually gained the upper hand and showed signs of suppressing the two of them. However, Lin Mo did not know what happened mid-way. Yan Rong¡¯s body paused twice and caused two mistakes which resulted in grave consequences. It even caused him to almost lose his life! When Lin Mo saw the fresh blood spewing out from the corner of Yan Rong¡¯s mouth, he understood that this disciple who wanted to avenge his master was probably already heavily injured before coming to Lin City! Therefore, Lin Mo did not wait any longer. Instead, he personally made a move and used the might of lightning to shatter the enemy¡¯s conspiracy. ¡°I won¡¯t hide it from you! Previously, when I was traveling outside, I got into an argument with a group of bandits. To save the innocent villagers, I fought with them. Although I managed to save the villagers in the end, I suffer some internal injuries. ¡°You still believe in my strength. After I recuperate, I definitely won¡¯t end up like today, almost losing my life to those two rats!¡± Having said that, Yan Rong lowered his head in shame. It was not as simple as just suffering a little internal injury! Back then, Yan Rong had fought with the mountain bandit leader, but because the other party had a large number of people and Yan Rong still had to take care of the villagers, he could only fight while retreating. Although he had stopped the many bandits who wanted to pursue him with his own strength, he had also been struck by the mountain bandit leader¡¯s palm. The qi that had been stuck into his body contained a damaging explosive power. After that, Yan Rong even used the remaining medicinal pills to seal that power. During the battle previously, it was also because he had used too much strength that caused the medicinal pills¡¯ seal to loosen. The destructive power had affected his movements, which resulted in the two dangerous incidents earlier. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant! I believe in your strength, but I also believe in your vision. You¡¯re already heavily injured, yet you¡¯re still so dutiful in fighting the enemy. Come! I have a pill here. Eat it. It should be able to heal the injuries in your body!¡± as he spoke, Lin Mo took out a snow-white pill the size of longan and handed it to Yan Rong. Since he had already decided to let this person be his guard, then Lin Mo trusted him. To protect his auction house¡¯s collection, the other party had almost lost his life. So what if he gave him a pill to treat his internal injuries? Looking at Lin Mo who not only did not blame him but also handed him the healing pill in a friendly manner, Yan Rong suddenly knelt on the ground with a red face. ¡°You¡¯ve done me such a great favor. I really can¡¯t repay you! I¡¯ve let down your trust. Today, I¡¯ll perform a blood oath. No matter what happens in the future, I¡¯ll always be loyal to you!¡± Saying that, without waiting for Lin Mo¡¯s reaction, Yan Rong bit his right index finger and quickly drew a few mysterious lines on his left palm. Then, Lin Mo saw a drop of bright red blood squeezed out from between Yan Rong¡¯s eyebrows and flew toward him. ¡°Please accept it, Master!¡± It was Yan Rong¡¯s years of wandering outside and being bullied that made him have a deep understanding of human nature. It was Lin Mo¡¯s trust and behavior that touched him. Looking at Yan Rong kneeling in front of him and seeing his determined look without raising his head, Lin Mo sighed lightly. He knew that he could not refuse, so he accepted the blood. If he did not accept it, not only would he hurt Yan Rong¡¯s heart but he would also not accept the pill! From what Lin Mo could sense, the injuries in Yan Rong¡¯s body were very serious. If he did not take the pill, there was even a possibility of sudden death! As the blood merged into his palm, a thin thread of blood appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. When he sensed the existence of the thread of blood, Lin Mo understood that from this moment on, he had complete control over Yan Rong¡¯s life. No matter how far apart the two of them were and what kind of obstacles they faced, with a single thought from Lin Mo, Yan Rong would die and his dao would vanish! Only at this moment, when he saw Lin Mo accept the blood drop that symbolized loyalty, did Yan Rong look at the snow-white medicinal pill in front of him. This medicinal pill was also the last remaining stock that Lin Mo had gathered from the Miao clan. It contained a powerful life force. After swallowing the medicinal pill in one gulp, Yan Rong sat cross-legged on the ground and assumed a cultivation posture. A wave of impure vital energy and the life force of all living things erupted from his lower abdomen. It was like spring rain, nourishing every inch of Yan Rong¡¯s body, replenishing energy in every meridian. Even the injuries caused by the mountain bandit leader¡¯s qi were being rapidly eroded and expelled! In a short while, the mutated qi that had been sealed had all dissipated. Meanwhile, the rich vitality contained in the medicinal pills was also rapidly repairing all the injuries. ¡°Hu!¡± Yan Rong let out a long breath. The dense white breath was more than three feet away from his body, yet it was still condensed and did not disperse. It was enough to show that his martial arts were profound! After that, Yan Rong opened his eyes and looked at Lin Mo with a ruddy face. At this moment, he felt that he had never been in such a good state! His entire body was filled with strength. Even the slightest injury had been healed, and the vital qi in his dantian was pure and gentle. ¡°Thank you, Master, for the medicine!¡± Yan Rong was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt to Lin Mo again. ¡­ ¡°Master, these are the items on the two of them!¡± Miao Qing walked in with a tray in his hand. There were two books on it, as well as some scattered raw stones and a longsword. ¡°Heh, they sure are clean!¡± ¡°A bunch of paupers!¡± There were two books in total. One was the Pure and Exquisite Divine Art, while the other was the Gale Divine Breath Slash. It seemed like these were the cultivation techniques that the two of them were cultivating. They were both fifth-level cultivation techniques. After flipping through the cultivation technique manuals twice, he placed them beside him. Lin Mo said to Miao Qing, ¡°I¡¯m going to cultivate now. Don¡¯t call me before the next official auction starts! ¡°Also, tomorrow, you¡¯ll send three VIP cards to the three great clans that bid the highest at today¡¯s auction. ¡°Remember to tell them that with the VIP cards, they¡¯ll be able to obtain the list of auction items in advance. If there¡¯s anything that they wish to entrust to our auction house to auction, we¡¯ll only take a 10% commission.¡± ¡°Master, then the Bai clan¡­ Should we still give them the VIP card?¡± Miao Qing asked hesitantly. He had quite an impression of the three people who had bid the highest today. Naturally, he was willing to give them the VIP card. However, if the other party was the Bai clan who had already formed a grudge with his master, then he would not be happy. ¡°Give it to them! If they don¡¯t come, we won¡¯t be able to complete our plans!¡± Lin Mo said in an unfathomable manner. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Although Miao Qing was a little unwilling, he still decided to carry out Lin Mo¡¯s orders loyally. After Miao Qing left, Lin Mo looked at the Gale Divine Breath Slash in his hand. He decided to first cultivate the Four Seasons Sword Technique that the system had returned. These two cultivation techniques could be auctioned off at the next auction, and he could cultivate and return them later. Opening the Four Seasons Sword Technique in his mind, he saw that it was a top eighth-level sword technique. The Four Seasons Sword Technique, as its name implied, was divided into four parts. They were all sixth-level Autumn Frost Sword Technique, Spring Thunder Sword Technique, Summer Sea Sword Technique, and Winter Fur Sword Technique. According to the description in the sword manual, if all four parts could be cultivated, there was a chance to comprehend a new skill called Spring and Autumn Alternation, which had a trace of the power of the law of time. Chapter 111 - Divination After Miao Qing left, Lin Mo started to cultivate the Four Seasons Sword Style. According to the manual, it was best to cultivate the four parts from the beginning to the end in chronological order. The first thing Lin Mo comprehended was the Spring Thunder Sword Technique. Within this cultivation technique, there was an endless amount of lightning and destructive aura. However, under every wild and destructive aura, there were traces of a life force that could revive everything. The Summer Sea Sword Technique was like an ocean of life force. it looked incomparably majestic. However, in this endless ocean, Lin Mon could feel a trace of suffocating heaviness that could kill all lives! When cultivating the Autumn Frost Sword Technique, on the surface, it was full of life force. It was an endless scene of fertility. The crops seemed to be filled with abundance. However, in the end, with a twist of the blade, all the life force was shattered and the fertility was also turned into desolation. The Winter Fur Sword Technique was similar to the Spring Thunder Sword Technique. On the surface, it appeared to be a cold that could destroy everything. The world was completely covered in white snow and was frozen. Despite the coldness, it contained a sliver of hope of opening up a brand new world! Therefore, the power of life and death seemed to be circulating within each other. The four scenes of dark blue lightning, dark blue ocean, golden fruits, and pure white snow continued to revolve around Lin Mo, circulating within each other. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s body was also filled with an endless amount of vitality stones that Miao Qing had gathered around him. Endless vitality was absorbed into his body while he was cultivating. This was the Divine Devouring Body. It was able to devour all living things in the world. At the same time, it could increase the innate talent and comprehension ability of those who possessed a divine body. This was an eighth-level Four Seasons Sword Technique. . Not long after, as the four energies and scenes continued to grow, Lin Mo¡¯s aura trembled and he opened his eyes. In that instant, in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, it was as if there was a scene of endless vicissitudes. ¡°I¡¯m still a little short!¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. ¡°This sword manual states that at the end of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, there will be a spring and autumn substitution consummate skill. But why don¡¯t I have it?¡± This was because Lin Mo had an instinctive premonition that he was unable to comprehend the spring and autumn substitution technique. It was not because his comprehension was lacking or his talent was not good enough. Instead, it was purely because he lacked some sort of foundation! What was it that he lacked? Lin Mo pondered silently. The speed of his thoughts far exceeded the speed of lightning. Lin Mo suddenly thought of something! Today, during the auction, he had obtained a top ninth-level treasure ¨C the Holy Dao Seeking Stone. It was said that the patterns on the stone which seemed like symbols contained a mysterious meaning! It was more like the sun, moon, heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers had all condensed into a small miniature, imprinted onto an ordinary stone. This kind of naturally formed treasure seemed to contain endless principles and laws. It was said that it could help its owner comprehend some brand new laws that were most suitable for him! Lin Mo took out the Holy Dao Seeking Stone from his backpack. It was different from the stone that was originally auctioned off. The stone in his hand was entirely golden in color. Its outer appearance was extremely flat, and it was about the size of a fist. There were various shapes and sizes on the stone, and it was meandering in the air. Furthermore, it looked extremely mysterious. It was as if there was a mysterious holy chant in the air, and someone was praising everything ancient. At this moment, even just looking at the Holy Dao Seeking Stone, Lin Mo felt as if he could see everything in the world! Furthermore, he was not simply seeing it. What was displayed in front of him was more like the basic laws that formed everything. The faint understanding that came to his mind caused Lin Mo to undergo a huge change! His Four Seasons Sword Technique seemed to be on the verge of breaking through! Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Mo placed the Holy Dao Seeking Stone in front of him and hurriedly closed his eyes, circulating the Four Seasons Sword Technique once again. The four concepts of life appeared around Lin Mo. At this moment, the Four Seasons Sword Technique, which was clearly unobstructed before, was circulating next to the Holy Dao Seeking Stone. However, it suddenly felt as if it had come to a standstill! The sharp contrast allowed Lin Mo to quickly sense the difference between them. It turned out that the most powerful strike of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, the change of spring and autumn, did not require Spring Thunder Sword Technique, Summer Sea Sword Technique, Autumn Frost Sword Technique, and Winter Fur Sword Technique to fuse. Instead, it required the fusion of these four concepts into one! The final image that was formed was the change of spring and autumn, containing the laws of the flow of time. After realizing this, with the help of the Divine Devouring Body and the Holy Dao Seeking Stone, Lin Mo continuously charged toward the areas where he had previously felt the Four Seasons Sword Technique was obscure. A loud bang rang out from within Lin Mo¡¯s body, causing waves of echoes in the training room. He had already successfully broken through the strongest level of the Four Seasons Sword Technique, and the change of spring and autumn had been successfully cultivated! The four cultivation techniques had also completely fused into one! It was also at this moment that Lin Mo finally understood why the Four Seasons Sword Technique was considered an eighth-level cultivation technique, while the Autumn Frost Sword Technique could only be considered a sixth-level cultivation technique. This was because the Four Seasons Sword Technique, which had fused the strengths and weaknesses of the four sword styles, had already undergone an earth-shattering qualitative change from its original foundation. However, Lin Mo did not open his eyes at this moment. He was continuing to comprehend it because he could still sense a hint of obscurity in this change of spring and autumn! That hint of obscurity was familiar and eye-catching, just like a blob of dirt on a piece of white paper. Hence, with the help of the Holy Dao Seeking Stone, Lin Mo planned to continue perfecting this change of spring and autumn! He could sense that if this last bit of stain was resolved, then the Four Seasons Sword Technique would not be at the eighth-level. It might even be able to break through to the ninth-level! That was the highest level of all living things in the world! No, there was an error in this direction. He needed to change his train of thought¡­He kept feeling that there was a slight flaw¡­ ¡­ The blob of dirt in front of Lin Mo continued to decrease in size. If the blob in the beginning was the size of an adult¡¯s palm, then the current blob was only the size of a pinky fingernail. Lin Mo, who was constantly striving for perfection, planned to continue to overcome this final flaw! Chapter 112 - The Invasion of the Inner Demons It was as if he was still lacking something and yet to comprehend anything. The feeling of being indistinct caused Lin Mo to feel increasingly anxious and uneasy. However, at this moment, on the surface of Lin Mo¡¯s body in the training room, the scene of the changing of spring and autumn suddenly became tainted with a tinge of black. Furthermore, as Lin Mo continued to comprehend the flaws of the changing of spring and autumn moves, the black became bigger and bigger, eventually enveloping Lin Mo within! ¡°Spurt!¡± Lin Mo abruptly stopped his training and spat out a mouthful of tainted blood onto the ground. ¡°Why? Why can¡¯t I solve the last problem? Where exactly is the one thing that I lack? I feel like I¡¯m only one step away from it!¡± Lin Mo was shocked when he saw the strange black color on his hands. He suddenly realized something. His obsession was too strong. It was a mental demon! Just as he was about to calm down and not think about the problems with the cultivation techniques to recover himself, the qi in his body had already dispersed in all directions. The violent cultivation techniques were constantly attacking his meridians. They seemed to be executing Lin Mo¡¯s will, constantly deducing the flaws of the spring and autumn changes. At this moment, even if Lin Mo wanted to stop this process, it would be extremely difficult. He might not even be able to control himself. Seeing that the situation was about to worsen and that he was in danger of exploding, Lin Mo suddenly thought of a treasure! . That was the sixth-level Heart Cleansing Herb that he had just obtained. This divine item was said to be able to help people expel their inner demons and restore peace! The emerald heart cleansing herb emitted a faint green glow. The moment it appeared in the cultivation room, Lin Mo felt as if the qi in his body was being restrained. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Mo hurriedly focused his mind and stopped his unnecessary thoughts. First, he gathered all the qi in his body to calm the raging cultivation technique in his body. Gradually, the qi in Lin Mo¡¯s body returned to his dantian. All of his internal injuries had also recovered. The cultivation technique had stopped circulating and calmed down. It was only at this moment that the layer of black inner demons on the surface of Lin Mo¡¯s body was expelled! The luster of the changing spring and autumn had also returned to its perfect state. A strange sound rang out. When Lin Mo heard this strange sound, he suddenly realized that the last flaw that he had painstakingly deduced previously had disappeared! That shattering sound came from the final transformation of the Four Seasons Sword Technique. It turned out that the flaw that he had always felt before was because the inner demons had already invaded! The final flaw of the spring and autumn replacement was just as simple as stopping the deduction. That was because the perfect spring and autumn replacement had been completely deduced by him. The Four Seasons Sword Technique was currently at the low ninth-level. Its circulation had already reached a flawless level. Not bad! This was the first cultivation technique that he had managed to advance from his own research! The ninth-level was already a domain that contained a trace of the power of laws, and all ninth-level items also carried a trace of the aura of nature! After finishing his cultivation, Lin Mo first took out the eighth-level cultivation formation that had been returned by the system ¨C the Ten Directions Forbidden Array. It was also a wooden disc, but the one in his hand was blood red. The one that had been auctioned off earlier had the appearance of a yellow pear tree. Looking at the Ten Directions Forbidden Array in his hand, Lin Mo injected his qi into it. On the formation disc, numerous patterns began to shine with resplendent light. After sensing it for a while, Lin Mo discovered that the Ten Directions Forbidden Array had three very important functions. The first was to prohibit flying. After the formation disk was set up, flying was prohibited within the range of the formation. Regardless of whether it was birds, beasts, or martial skills, they were unable to leave the ground. The second function was a two-way defense. Not only it prevented outsiders from entering, but it also prevented the people inside from leaving. The third was to forcefully control and sense everything within the range of the formation. All people or items within the range of the formation would be sensed by the owner of the formation and could be controlled to a certain extent. As for the degree of control, it all depended on how much qi was provided. As for the other miscellaneous functions, there were actually more than ten of them. However, they were not too important, so Lin Mo automatically ignored them. Following that, the surging qi was like a river converging into the sea, surging into the formation disk! The Ten Directions Forbidden Array, which was being attacked by a huge amount of qi, immediately bloomed with a sun-like dazzling light in the cultivation room. Lin Mo sensed that the disc in his hand had completely disappeared. Outside the auction house, there was a thin film. This thin film only existed for an instant before it merged with the breeze and disappeared. In Lin Mo¡¯s heart, as the controller of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, he could sense the existence of the thin film at all times. With just a thought, he could perform all the functions of the array! After feeling the strength of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, Lin Mo gradually had a rough idea of how powerful it was. If he were to divide each level of a cultivator into more detailed levels¡­ Other than the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, there should also be a minimum level that could just break through to the next level. This level was known as the normal level. Beyond this level, one could enter the next level at any time. This was the normal level, three times the strength of a normal level cultivator. Above this, there were cultivators who focused on their limits. They could reach the perfect level. Usually, the cultivators at this level were very experienced and stayed at this level for a long time and had six times the strength of ordinary cultivators. However, above the complete level was the perfect level. This level was usually one in a hundred million, and very few people could reach it. However, their strength was also ten times that of ordinary cultivators! Above this, there was the legendary red gold level! It was said that the cultivators at this level truly reached the perfect level. No one knew the specific strength, but only a few people in history knew of its existence. As for the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, it allowed one to control a perfect level cultivator! After controlling the Ten Directions Forbidden Array to fully spread out, Lin Mo turned his gaze toward the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito. The Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito, which had been obtained through the system, was completely blood-red in color. It was the same as the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, only with a few streaks of deep black. The Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito was the size of a wine cup. Through the translucent material, one could see a blurry shadow in the center, like a specimen trapped in amber. After pouring a large amount of qi into it, the shadow inside gradually became clearer. The layer of amber-like material on the outer shell became smaller and thinner. Finally, the amber in his hand disappeared. What was left in his palm was a gray mosquito with black and white intersecting spots on its body. 2 Chapter 113 - Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito Looking at the thin and weak appearance of the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito, Lin Mo took out a piece of fresh meat from his backpack. He placed the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito on top of it. The mosquito¡¯s needle-like mouthpart pierced into the piece of meat. Unexpectedly, the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito did not seem to feed on blood but it seemed to extract the essence of the meat. When the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito finished eating, the piece of fresh meat that was covered in blood had already become wrinkled. It was like a piece of cured meat that had been dried for many years, and it was devoid of nutrients. Noticing that the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito was still not full, Lin Mo took out a few more mutated beast carcasses. The Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito did not hold back and rushed forward to absorb them. In just half a minute, the entire room was filled with dried meat. Only at this moment did the crystal blood mother mosquito feel somewhat satisfied. ¡°Good baby, come, quickly produce some crystal blood mosquitoes. Right now, I need to know more information about the big clans in Lin City.¡± This Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito was still tiny in Lin Mo¡¯s palm, but it seemed to understand what Lin Mo was saying. The wings on its back flapped gently, and a strange aura appeared. Immediately after, over a hundred buzzing mosquitoes appeared out of thin air in the training room. All of them were the size of ordinary mosquitoes. When they gathered, one could feel the aura of the same origin as the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito. At the same time, over a hundred views appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. They were all looking at him from different directions. The mental energy in his mind was rapidly depleting, causing Lin Mo to feel a wave of dizziness. Hence, he hurriedly instructed the mother mosquito, ¡°Tell them to stop transmitting the images!¡± . It was as if Lin Mo¡¯s heart was connected to the heart of the mother mosquito. Just as this thought appeared in his mind, the images that were being transmitted by the over a hundred mosquitoes came to an abrupt stop. ¡°Are you able to sense my thoughts?¡± Lin Mo looked at the crystal blood mosquitoes in his palm and asked. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± A thin and weak voice rang out, and Lin Mo immediately realized that this was the Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito was talking to him! ¡°Hahaha, this is really great. Quickly get the Crystal Blood Mosquitoes to hide in the various large clans in Lin City. Their main mission is to eavesdrop on the clans¡¯ conversation.¡± Following this order, a large group of buzzing Crystal Blood Mosquitoes flew out of the room. The appearance of hundreds of ordinary mosquitoes was ordinary in this huge city. However, from this moment on, Lin Mo had hundreds of pairs of eyes monitoring the various large clans. Moreover, these mosquitos were very common and would not be noticed by anyone. Looking at the listless Crystal Blood Mother Mosquito, Lin Mo understood that what it needed was the spiritual energy of flesh and blood. After ending his cultivation, he walked out of the cultivation room. Not long after, Miao Qing ran over in a panic while holding onto a ledger. ¡°Master, Master! There have been too many changes in the city these few days. Hurry up and take a look!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t be in such a hurry and speak slowly! Answer my question first. Since the day I went into seclusion, how much time has passed? How much time is left until the next auction?¡± ¡°Master, it¡¯s already been five days. There¡¯s only one day left until the next auction!¡± Miao Qing looked at the calm Lin Mo and felt a sense of certainty in his heart. His master would definitely have a countermeasure for all the changes in the outside world. ¡°Oh, there¡¯s only one day left. Then how many auction items have you collected in these past few days? Let me see!¡± Lin Mo asked casually. Who would have thought that Miao Qing would suddenly have a bitter expression upon hearing that? ¡°Master, this is the bad news I was talking about! It¡¯s already been five days since the last auction, but we haven¡¯t received a single fifth-level and above auction item!¡± ¡°What? Not a single one? How could this be?¡± Hearing such a reply, Lin Mo was extremely shocked. According to his estimations, Lin City was far from being without a single fifth-level auction item. ¡°Master! Recently, someone has been secretly competing with our auction house. Furthermore, for some unknown reason, the other party seems to be able to find the owner of the item they wish to auction before us and purchase it at a high price. The entire Lin City seems to be left with only low-level auction items!¡± ¡°What did the other auction houses say? Have they encountered such a situation?¡± ¡°Master, all the auction houses are the same. They didn¡¯t acquire any high-level auction items.¡± ¡°How could this happen? Tell me, did anything strange happen in Lin City recently?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± At this point, Miao Qing suddenly hesitated. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? If there¡¯s anything, tell me and I¡¯ll settle it,¡± Lin Mo said decisively. He had already realized that something was wrong. Someone was probably setting this up on purpose! ¡°Master, there¡¯s been a discussion in Lin City recently, and it¡¯s mainly aimed at Master¡­¡± ¡°What did they say?¡± ¡°Yeah, they said that Master doesn¡¯t have much ability and you got a hold of those treasures outside by sheer luck. They also said that you¡¯re arrogant after you return to Lin City! ¡°And the reason you called for the auction was all because of the treasures you possess. If you were to compete with the others, you probably wouldn¡¯t even last one round,¡± Miao Qing¡¯s voice became softer and softer as he spoke. In the end, it was almost negligible. ¡°Hehe!¡± Lin Mo sneered. It must have been spread by the second elder and the others. These words were just short of stating clearly that he was selling those treasures at a low price, disrupting the auction of the Lin clan auction house and dragging the second elder down from his position as the clan head. ¡°What¡¯s the reaction from the clan leader¡¯s side?¡± Lin Mo turned around and asked. The rumors outside would definitely be crushed if the auction continued. The main reason was that nothing could go wrong with the clan leader¡¯s side. ¡°I heard that these rumors were spread from the clan leader¡¯s side,¡± Miao Qing replied angrily. ¡°Spread from the clan leader¡¯s side?¡± Lin Mo was very puzzled. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go back to the Lin clan to take a look!¡± After saying that, Lin Mo turned around and left. The Lin clan was well-deserved in Lin City. Even in the northern part of the eastern continent, other than the imperial family, they were also known as the number one clan. Hence, the residence of the Lin family was built in an extremely luxurious style and occupied a large area. In recent years, if not for the old clan leader stopping them, the members of the Lin clan might have even wanted to use pure gold to cast on the door. Fortunately, with the old leader¡¯s guidance, the Lin clan could still do charity by supporting poor families. So, the many buildings of the clan looked simple and unadorned. Chapter 114 - Rumors They walked into the Lin clan and headed for the clan leader¡¯s residence. All the members of the Lin clan quickly avoided Lin Mo when they saw him. If they could not avoid him, they would also stand on the spot and look down at their toes. Although they did not know why they did that, Lin Mo also did not bother to ask. In the small courtyard, the second elder and Lin Huaiyuan were sitting under the shade of a tree with the clan leader. There were fresh fruits on the table beside them. Lin Huaiyuan picked up a bunch of grapes and fed them to the clan leader one by one while muttering something. ¡°Grandpa, Lin Mo is so arrogant as soon as he came back. He didn¡¯t take us, the family members of Lin clan seriously! ¡°I heard that he found some treasures outside. Based on those items, he dared to openly challenge our Lin clan¡¯s auction house the moment he returned to Lin City. Those items were sold at a price that wasn¡¯t even enough to cover the cost. I really can¡¯t bear to see it!¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t even put us, the elders of the clan, in his eyes. He dares to openly challenge me! After so many years, you should know better. My son and I have always been conscientious toward the clan. Even if we haven¡¯t contributed much, we still have to work hard.¡± The second elder was also fanning the flames by the side. The Lin clan¡¯s leader, who was sitting on the recliner, did not even have the thought of opening his eyes. He did not reply to what the two of them had said. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the small courtyard. ¡°Knock, knock, knock.¡± . ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯ll open the door!¡± After saying that, Lin Huaiyuan stood up. Lin Mo, who had been listening at the door for a while, knew what these two people were scheming! With a gentle push of his hands, the courtyard door was opened. ¡°You two are really shameless. You even complained to the clan leader. I really overestimated you two in the past,¡± Lin Mo said to the second elder and Lin Huaiyuan after glancing around the small courtyard with a cold face. ¡°Don¡¯t slander me here. Father and I are accompanying Grandpa to enjoy the shade and chat with him!¡± Without wasting his breath with Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Mo entered the small courtyard and went straight to the shade of the tree. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m here!¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re here!¡± the clan head replied weakly, but his closed eyes were slightly opened. Without any more questions, the clan leader looked at Lin Mo. He looked like a 60-year-old man. However, anyone who dared to look down on him would definitely be killed! ¡°After tomorrow, it will be the day of the next auction. My grandson will definitely make the event a good one!¡± This was a promise, a guarantee, and a military order. This was Lin Mo¡¯s confidence, and also his goal for coming here. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news!¡± The clan leader looked at Lin Mo, and after a while, he said a few words, before closing his eyes again. ¡°Second Brother, all of you can go back!¡± This was the expulsion order. The second elder opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything and left. ¡­ ¡°The old man has seen everything in his life. How dare you show off your narrow-mindedness? Do you think I¡¯m stupid? I¡¯ll see how you end up!¡± Lin Mo said to the second elder. After that, he turned around and left without stopping. ¡°You!¡± The second elder raised his head and wanted to refute, but what he saw was Lin Mo¡¯s back as he walked further away. After that, he looked at Lin Huaiyuan with a gloomy face. ¡°How are your plans going? Did the auction house receive any good items recently?¡± ¡°Father, are you still worried about me? Over the past few days, the Lin auction house didn¡¯t receive any auction items above fifth-level!¡± Lin Huaiyuan answered decisively. ¡°Be careful and ensure the plans work. This is all from our funds. By the way, Lin Mo¡¯s attitude is a bit weird today.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Father.¡± ¡­ After they left, Lin Huaiyuan came to the room and walked around anxiously. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Senior Brothers Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong have been gone for so many days. How come there¡¯s no news about them? I have to go to the inn to find out!¡± After that, Lin Huaiyuan jumped out of the window, and disappeared on the street, followed by a few grey mosquitoes. Not long after, he arrived at the inn. Hanging upside down on the eaves in the same way, he knocked five times. After waiting for a while, there was no response in the room. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Senior Brother and the others aren¡¯t here?¡± Lin Huaiyuan muttered to himself. Then, he drew out the dagger on his waist, opened the switch behind the window and jumped in. This room was clean. ¡°Senior Brother, where did you go?¡± Lin Huaiyuan walked around the empty room twice. He found nothing and could not find any secret signal. He could only leave helplessly. However, what he did not notice was that the mosquitoes that had been following him had stopped in the inn. ¡­ After returning to his room, Lin Huaiyuan still felt a bit uneasy. He could not pinpoint any missing link in the plan. However, he did not know where his senior brothers had gone to. ¡®Could it be that they have other missions? Why didn¡¯t I know about it?¡¯ Gritting his teeth, he walked out of the door and said to the guard, ¡°Go and tell those people to not be stingy with money. We¡¯ll take whatever we can find. No matter the price, we mustn¡¯t leave any leeway for Lin Mo!¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± That person cupped his fists and left in a hurry. ¡­ At this moment, thirty miles away from Lin City, there was a fallen phoenix. According to legend, a phoenix once fell here and was surrounded and killed. At this moment, there was also a person who was surrounded. That person was completely white. Even his hair was tied up by a white band. However, he wore a pair of blood-red gloves. At the joints where the gloves were protruding, there were a few bumps that extended outward, like a tiger wearing the gloves. ¡°Are you all from the Battle Immortal Sect? I¡¯ve already escaped to this place. Are you still not going to let me go?¡± the man with the gloves asked in a stern voice. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anyone escapes unscathed after offending the Battle Immortal Sect! ¡°Since you, Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang, dare to kill a disciple of our sect, you should be prepared to be chased to the ends of the earth!¡± Chapter 115 - Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang The person who spoke was the eldest senior brother of the Battle Immortal Sect, Zhao Li Ren! ¡°That guy colluded with corrupt officials in human cities, bullied men and women, and killed dozens of people. His wife and children died a horrible death. I killed him on behalf of the heavens! Do you want to protect such a scum?¡± At this point, Nan Ming Chang¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red as if he was reminded of an unpleasant memory. ¡°Hehe! No matter how bad our disciples are, it¡¯s not up to you to decide!¡± ¡°When I found that scum, he had been in the city for five years. Do you know what kind of life the people lived in those five years? ¡°And this kind of disaster continued to play out in that city. When I discovered it, it had already increased to more than ten households! ¡°And what has your Battle Immortal Sect been doing all these years? As far as I know, there are no less than five elders who have passed by his place, but they all drank and chatted happily with him, and even called him brother. ¡°Your Battle Immortal Sect is deliberately indulging him and has no intention of controlling him. Since you guys don¡¯t care, then I¡¯ll take care of it!¡± Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang¡¯s words were sonorous and forceful, and the sincerity in his tone could touch people¡¯s hearts. ¡°Hehe, the Battle Immortal Sect can only control its own disciples. If you dare, make a move now! No one can bully the Battle Immortal Sect!¡± . ¡°Senior brothers, this old fellow has been stuck at the ninth-level of the dragon transformation realm for more than ten years. He¡¯s strong, and he¡¯s probably already in the perfection realm. We¡¯re still at the ordinary dragon transformation realm!¡± ¡°Form the Eight Directions Formation!¡± The Eight Directions Formation was a secret technique of the Battle Immortal Sect. It was said that the previous sect master had obtained it from the hands of a formation big shot from a certain holy land. It possessed all of the vital energy of the eight main formation masters. It also magnified the power of all attacks and prevented the enemy from discovering their use. ¡°Hehe, if your strength isn¡¯t that strong, then you have to rely on the formation. Even if you¡¯ve killed me, there will be another person like me who will oppose you. It seems that your Battle Immortal Sect will face a calamity in the near future!¡± Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang saw that the situation could not be reversed, and it seemed like he only could fight to the death with the other party, so he said fiercely. However, the ones who replied to him were the eight Battle Immortal Sect disciples who were already standing in their respective positions. ¡°Set up the formation!¡± As eldest senior brother Zhao Li Ren gave the order, a milky white cloud rose from the scene and quickly connected together to cover the inside and outside of the formation. However, the disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect were not affected by this formation. ¡°Since you¡¯re unkind, then don¡¯t blame me for being unrighteous!¡± At this time, Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang looked at the rising clouds around him and decisively closed his eyes. Then, he drew a half-horse stance with his feet. ¡°Yo, this old guy still wants to sense our position. Hahaha, let¡¯s teach him a lesson.¡± ¡°Eight Directions Formation, move!¡± Following third senior Jonas¡¯ command, the formation rapidly changed. It was as if blades, spears, swords, and halberds were rapidly condensing in the thick clouds. Although no one was controlling them, they were each suspended in mid-air. ¡°The heavens and earth are infinite, give me the law, divine weapons, and assist me in killing the enemy!¡± third senior Jonas chanted a spell formation in his hand. After he finished chanting, all the weapons condensed from clouds in the spell flew out like arrows leaving the bow. Fortunately, this was not the surface of the water, and it was covered by the clouds. Otherwise, the bystanders would have seen what a rain of arrows was! Generally, unless the person in the middle had a divine weapon to protect his body, he would be shot into a hedgehog if any eight or ninth-level dragon transformation realm cultivators issued a dense weapon attack. However, such a fierce attack could not do anything to Blood Fist Nan Ming Chang. He waved his iron fists rapidly and formed a defensive wall around him, smashing all the weapons in front of him into pieces. They dispersed into clouds and returned to the air. This was the strength of a ninth-level dragon transformation realm cultivator at the perfect realm! Seeing that such an attack was ineffective, second senior brother Su Zhican suddenly shouted, ¡°Brothers and Sisters, go!¡± The seven disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect immediately rushed out when they heard the command. They launched attacks from many directions at the same time. Even Nan Ming Chang was somewhat flustered! ¡°Old man, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± While the junior brothers were attacking, the eldest brother had already sneaked up behind Nan Ming Chang. He immediately stabbed the longsword in his hand. At the same time, as if the shark had smelled blood, the other senior brothers attacked one after another. Eight longswords stabbed at Nan Ming Chang from all directions at the same time! ¡°Hmph!¡± Nan Ming Chang snorted coldly. He waved his iron fists and broke all the junior brothers¡¯ attacks! The longswords that pierced through his chest did not directly kill him. At this moment, Nan Ming Chang waved his iron fists with great force and smashed them backward, hitting the eldest brother who was trying to sneak attack him! As if he had been hit by a high-speed train, the eldest brother flew backward. The next moment, a white cloud sword suddenly pierced through Nan Ming Chang¡¯s heart! ¡°Ho ho!¡± Nan Ming Chang turned his head with great difficulty, only to see a weapon that no one was holding! It was Jonas. He had secretly controlled the cloud sword while the others were fighting with Nan Ming Chang and killed him in one fell swoop! Nan Ming Chang quietly went down. ¡°Good! Well done!¡± Eldest senior brother stood up not far away and praised after seeing the battle situation. After tidying up the scene, the disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect returned to the inn in Lin City. ¡°This is¡­ the signal left by Junior Brother Lin! It¡¯s us who left without saying goodbye this time. I¡¯m going to look for him to see if there¡¯s any progress!¡± Eldest senior brother looked inside the room and immediately noticed the hidden traces on the table. He immediately smiled and said. ¡­ ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, I want to invite all of you to participate in the auction the day after tomorrow!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already executed my plan and cut off all of Lin Mo¡¯s escape routes. Let¡¯s go and watch the show unfolds!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°I wonder where Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong went. Seriously, I pamper them too much in the sect and now when they¡¯re on a mission, they behaved so carefreely!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, they must¡¯ve robbed the Lin auction house and sold the stolen goods in the past few days. Let¡¯s see how I¡¯ll deal with them when the time comes! They actually dare to do such things behind our backs?¡± Chapter 116 - The Auction Begins The second day. After an entire day of publicity, Miao Qing complied with Lin Mo¡¯s request and sent the list of all the items to be auctioned to Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, and Bai Wuheng. At the same time, he wantonly announced that there would be a seventh-level treasure being auctioned in the Lin auction house tomorrow! Although there were many people who knew that the day of the auction was tomorrow, Lin Mo still got Miao Qing to print out flyers to be distributed. The words ¡°seventh-level treasure¡± in bold were printed on the flyer. Then, he got Miao Qing to hire hundreds of workers to spread the word in Lin City. The people who received the flyer had thoughts such as ¡°This is absolutely impossible!¡±, ¡°This news is fake!¡±, ¡°You¡¯re lying to me!¡± and so on! ¡°Seventh-level treasure? How is this possible?! Brother Liu, why do you think the Lin auction house is boasting that they¡¯re going to auction off a seventh-level treasure tomorrow?¡± ¡°This is a lie! A seventh-level treasure could only be auctioned in the Imperial City! The last time they heard the words ¡®seventh-level¡¯ was ten years ago. Moreover, there had never been an auction house that had auctioned off a seventh-level treasure in Lin City!¡± ¡°I think so too!¡± ¡°But the Lin clan has been here for thousands of years. They probably won¡¯t lie to us on purpose!¡± ¡°How about we go there and take a look?¡± . ¡°You¡¯re right. I was planning to buy some goods outside the city tomorrow. Forget it, let¡¯s go there and take a look.¡± Among the three major clans, Bai Wuheng was the most in disbelief after receiving the information about the auction items. He had received the news that the second elder said Lin Huaiyuan had already bought all the auction items in Lin City. It was impossible for him to miss anything. So, is the news released by Lin Mo true or false? Looking at the list in his hands, the starting item was a fifth-level treasure. There should be many more high-level treasures. He felt like he was being teased by Lin! ¡°Bai Yanlang, come in!¡± ¡°Father, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Yanlang asked. ¡°Go to the accounts room and see how many spiritual stones our Bai clan has to use right now.¡± ¡°Father, this will be all for nothing.¡± Bai Yanlang was a little puzzled. ¡°Do what I tell you and cut the nonsense!¡± Bai Wuheng sternly reprimanded. Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming, on the other hand, were full of surprise and joy. They looked at the list of items on the VIP card in their hands as if the future was within their reach. The appearance of these auction items raised a great amount of hope in their hearts! ¡­ The next day, at five o¡¯clock in the afternoon. The magnificent Lin auction hall, which had many seats, was filled to the brim. Quite a few people were standing in the corridor. However, there was still a steady stream of people pouring in from the entrance. ¡°Tell me, is this for real? What happened to the Lin clan this time? They suddenly want to auction such a powerful item?!¡± ¡°I feel that the credibility is very high. The Lin clan has been in Lin City for a long time. There¡¯s no need to lie to us.¡± ¡°Quick, look, these are the people from the Xu Feng Regiment!¡± ¡°That¡¯s the Xu Feng Regiment commander ¨C Xu Youqing!¡± ¡°I heard that a person once killed a demonic beast at the thirteenth-level of the dragon transformation realm in the Dark Night Forest!¡± ¡°Do you see that short gown on his waist? I heard that it was made from the skin on the abdomen of that demonic beast!¡± ¡°Not only that, look at that long whip on his waist. It¡¯s said that it was made from the spine of that demonic beast!¡± As the crowd was discussing, a strong man who looked like an iron tower walked in from the entrance of the Lin auction house. Behind him were over 10 cultivators who were dressed like hunters. Those people were all members of the Xu Feng Regiment. They were really powerful with over ten fifth-level dragon transformation realm cultivators! At this moment, under the leadership of Lin Huaiyuan, the senior and junior brothers of the Battle Immortal Sect also came to the Lin auction house. However, they were sitting in the most luxurious exclusive private room, which could not be compared with those who were sitting in the lobby or even standing in the corridor. ¡°Impossible! Lu Qian and Yu Shenkong couldn¡¯t have not contacted me for such a long time! Do you think something happened to them?¡± Eldest senior brother Zhao Liren looked at second senior brother Su Zhican with a gloomy face. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Didn¡¯t Junior Brother Lin Huaiyuan say that Lin Mo was only in the beginning stage of the dragon transformation realm? How could he kill Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong who were in the ninth-level of the dragon transformation realm?¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Let¡¯s see what tricks this Lin Mo could play first.¡± ¡­ Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming had already arrived at the auction house with their clans. Sitting in their private rooms, they could see the entire auction house through the exquisite window. ¡°Qi Yifei, have you prepared enough spiritual stones?¡± ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve even pledged some of the shops we have. I¡¯m sure there will be enough spiritual stones!¡± Qi Yueheng¡¯s son, Qi Yifei, looked at his father and said seriously. ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s time for the Qi clan to turn over a new leaf. From now on, I¡¯ll see who dares to look down on our Qi clan in Lin City.¡± The same question was asked in the room of Zhao Gongming and Bai Wuheng. ¡­ There were five private rooms on the second floor of the Lin auction house. The three big clans and the Lin clan each had one room. In the last room, there was a large group of people standing there. They were the elders and the people in charge of the royal auction house. Just as the people who had come to participate in the auction started to complain about why the auction had not started yet, Miao Qing, dressed in a long robe, slowly came to the center of the auction stage. He bowed to everyone and said, ¡°First of all, we welcome everyone from Lin City to participate in the auction held by the Lin auction house! ¡°Let¡¯s proceed to begin the auction. The first item to be auctioned is ¨C mid fifth-level Spirit Concentration Pill! ¡°The starting price is 15,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 2,000 spiritual stones!¡± As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, he opened a jade box. A refreshing fragrance assailed his nostrils, and the people in the front row who smelled it felt their vital qi circulating more smoothly. ¡°What?! This is the Spirit Concentration Pill?¡± ¡°Quick! Senior Brother, hit me! Did I hear it wrongly?!¡± ¡°Is this the legendary Spirit Concentration Pill that can allow people to concentrate and strengthen their control over vital qi?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you didn¡¯t hear it wrongly! This is the Spirit Concentration Pill!¡± the people beside him also clenched their fists and said excitedly. Chapter 117 - A Warm Opening ¡°Son, haven¡¯t you been stuck at fifth-level dragon transformation realm for three years? Isn¡¯t it because you haven¡¯t been able to control your qi well? Today is the turning point for you!¡± ¡°Wife, look. Thankfully, you came with me. Isn¡¯t this your hope of breaking through?¡± ¡°If I can get this Spirit Concentration Pill, I¡¯ll definitely be able to break through¡­¡± The sounds of conversation, clamor, and exclamations continued to ring out in the hall below the auction stage. Pairs of eager eyes were already staring fixedly at the pill in Miao Qing¡¯s hand. 17,000 spiritual stones! 19,000 spiritual stones! 25,000 spiritual stones! 30,000 spiritual stones. ¡­ For an auction house in Lin City, a fifth-level treasure would only appear once every half a year. Who would have thought that it would be auctioned off as an opening item? . The Xu Feng Regiment leader, Xu Youqing, was also very surprised. Although he had been through many incidents, this Spirit Concentration Pill was still a rare sight! His breathing began to become heavy, and Xu Youqing made his bid. 50,000 spiritual stones! The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze because no one else could raise the bid. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a mid fifth-level Spirit Concentration Pill! ] [ You have triggered a 30-fold rebate! ] [ You have obtained a mid sixth-level Spirit Concentration Pill! ] ¡­ Following the transaction of the first treasure, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively! Seeing that the auction was successful, Miao Qing continued to speak. ¡°Next is the second item ¨C fifth-level Army Breaking Spear!¡± As Miao Qing¡¯s voice fell, two attendants appeared from behind. They carried a six-foot-long object on their shoulders. Their bodies were covered with a red velvet cloth. After coming to Miao Qing¡¯s side, Miao Qing reached out and gently removed the velvet cloth. A malevolent spear instantly appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. A series of metal clanging sounds accompanied the intense fighting on the battlefield. The shouts of the soldiers, as well as the miserable cries of the enemies who fell to the ground in pain, entered everyone¡¯s ears. At this moment, everyone present felt as if they had arrived at a tragic battlefield! Then, the cries on the battlefield suddenly stopped! Instead, it was replaced by the sounds of gasps! The cultivators below the stage all stared with wide eyes at the six-foot-long weapon on the stage. It was different from the fifth-level Spirit Concentration Pill, which only increased the possibility of breaking through to the next level. Weapons, which could immediately boost one¡¯s strength, had always been the most popular item in all types of auctions! After Miao Qing explained the second item, even the five big clans in the VIP rooms above, stopped breathing. They were shocked by the Lin auction house¡¯s magnanimous auction method and its rich collection. ¡°The starting price of the fifth grade Army Breaking Spear is 15,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 3,000 spiritual stones!¡± As Miao Qing¡¯s voice fell, before the clan leaders in the VIP rooms could make a move, many people had already made their bids. ¡°18,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°21,000 spiritual stones!¡± It could be seen that the people who were bidding at this moment were all people desperate for this item! Their faces flushed red from excitement. The price was basically close to the limit of their wealth. However, the truly heavyweight contestants had only just begun to make their moves¡­ On the second floor of the auction hall, in the middle of the most luxurious VIP room No. 1, the eldest senior brother of the Battle Immortal Sect, Zhao Liren, was tempted! ¡°Junior Brother Lin Huaiyuan, this is your auction house. Could you tell the auctioneer not to auction this treasure? I¡¯m willing to buy it at a high price.¡± However, Lin Huaiyuan shook his head helplessly. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling. It¡¯s just that the auction house is under Lin Mo¡¯s control. I don¡¯t have the ability to interfere in it.¡± ¡°How many spiritual stones do you have on you? Let¡¯s pool together and see if we can buy this item!¡± While they were still hesitating, Xu Youqing, the commander of the Xu Feng Regiment had already bid again. ¡°40,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°55,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was the bid from clan leader Zhao Gongming in the VIP room. ¡°Clan leader Zhao Gongming, can you give this Army Breaking Spear to my son, Qi Yifei?¡± In another VIP room, clan leader Qi Yueheng turned on the communication function and transmitted his voice to Zhao Gongming next door. ¡°My son, Qi Yifei, has just broken through and is missing a suitable weapon. You know, he has loved spears since he was young. A gentleman doesn¡¯t steal what others love. This Broken Army Spear is exactly what I¡¯m determined to get for him!¡± ¡°Clan leader Qi, I¡¯m really sorry!¡± ¡°70,000 spiritual stones!¡± After saying that, Zhao Gongming changed his bid. In another VIP room, Qi Yueheng looked at his son, Qi Yifei, and could only helplessly shake his head at him. ¡°80,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng seized the opportunity and made a higher bid. This time, the second elder of the Lin clan did not come to the auction. Otherwise, he would have seen the disdainful smile on Bai Wuheng¡¯s face. [ Ding! Congratulations, host! The auction for the fifth-level Army Breaking Spear has been successful! ] [ You have received 200 times the profit! ] [ You have received a mid sixth-level Killing Spear! ] ¡­ Bai Wuheng¡¯s bid caused a commotion in the auction hall on the first floor. The first few bidders in particular did not hide the disappointment and despair on their faces! Miao Qing walked up and said, ¡°The third item in this auction, the fifth-level Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique! it has many uses and is extremely powerful! ¡°It can be used in battle. Once unleashed, all nearby enemies dare not approach. Otherwise, their bones and tendons will be broken! ¡°Each move is extremely powerful. There are a total of 108 moves. Once you have mastered them, you¡¯ll be able to use a set of moves that are three levels higher than the previous one! ¡°It can also be used to forge weapons. It has the ability to condense the essence of ores, shorten the forging time, and increase the success rate of forging. It¡¯s truly a treasure that cannot be found elsewhere. ¡°The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!¡± Due to the special effects of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Lin Mo was worried that if he did not explain it in advance, the value of the item would drop. Thus, he specially instructed Miao Qing to explain its features during the auction. Miao Qing turned around and opened a small box made of black ironwood beside him. Immediately, a series of faint clanking sounds that sounded like metal being hammered were heard, and the sound waves were getting louder and louder. This sound even drowned out the cries of the people in the auction hall! ¡°Wow! This is actually a martial technique that can accumulate attack power!¡± Chapter 118 - Must Win! ¡°I seem to have heard the name of Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in the royal city. That¡¯s not right. Isn¡¯t this thing said to have been lost 800 years ago?¡± ¡°This Lin auction house is really unfathomable. You can even find this kind of lost martial technique!¡± ¡°More importantly, this item can also be used for forging. It¡¯s just right for me, an itinerant cultivator who travels all over the place. I must get it!¡± ¡°It can be used for battle in times of danger, and it can also be used to accumulate spiritual stones too.¡± This martial technique, which had multiple uses, once again aroused the desire of all the cultivators present. 25,000 spiritual stones! 30,000 spiritual stones! 35,000 spiritual stones! ¡­ The cultivators in the hall still bid, even though they knew that the price had already exceeded their capabilities! . Now that they had bid such a price, once the deal was done, they would have to sell the things they owned before they could gather enough spiritual stones as payment. However, they still gritted their teeth and decided to bid for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique! Just as the people below were staring eagerly at the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique on the stage, in the VIP room, Qi Yuexeng and Qi Yifei were staring at the small box beside Miao Qing with their mouths agape. It was a thread-bound, ancient blue book. Through the cover, they seemed to see a naked, muscular man waving a huge hammer beside the forging stage. His every move created a whistling wind. ¡°Father! Our Qi clan must get our hands on this martial technique!¡± Qi Yifei said to Qi Yueheng seriously. ¡°Do I need you to remind me?¡± Bai Wuheng was the first to bid among the VIP rooms! ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you looking down on this fifth-level treasure with your bid?¡± Zhao Gongming opened the communication device between the VIP rooms and mocked Bai Wuheng. ¡°70,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, then don¡¯t bid recklessly!¡± As if in response to Zhao Gongming¡¯s provocation, Bai Wuheng counterattacked with another bid. ¡°85,000 spiritual stones!¡± Zhao Gongming continued to raise the bid. ¡°90,000 spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, Xu Youqing placed a bid in the auction hall on the first floor. Seeing that the price was getting higher, Qi Yifei looked anxiously at Qi Yueheng, who was still unmoved. He was extremely puzzled. ¡°Father! Hurry up and place your bid!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the rush?¡± Only then did Qi Yueheng clear his throat, pick up the bidding device and enter a number. Miao Qing immediately called out. ¡°150,000 spiritual stones! Anyone else?¡± In the VIP room, Qi yifei stared at Qi Yueheng with his mouth agape. ¡°Father! You¡¯ve almost doubled the price!¡± ¡°Hehe, only by raising the price to a level that they can¡¯t accept will we have the best chance of getting the treasure at the lowest price!¡± ¡°Raising the price bit by bit is like boiling a frog in warm water. When you realize that something is wrong, it¡¯ll be too late for you to run away!¡± Moreover, the price at that time would be even more outrageous than now! As expected, following Qi Yueheng¡¯s bid, no one in the hall dared to bid again. ¡°150,000 spiritual stones going once! ¡°150,000 spiritual stones going twice! ¡°150,000 spiritual stones sold!¡± [ Ding! Congratulations, host! The auction of the fifth-level Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique has been successfully auctioned! ] [ You have received 500 times the rebate! ] [ You have received the seventh-level Shattered Star Hammer Technique! ] ¡­ Seeing that the auction was successful, Miao Qing continued speaking, ¡°Next up is the fourth item, fifth-level Empty Treasure Chest. ¡°There¡¯s still space inside the treasure chest. Its sufficient spiritual energy enabled it to be used as a place to cultivate precious spiritual materials. ¡°The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was a treasure that could aid one¡¯s cultivation. It did not seem like there was anything worth fighting for, but this was why it was a precious treasure! This was because no one knew what kind of place was inside the Empty Treasure Box. Miao Qing turned around and took a palm-sized box from the handmaiden beside him. On the surface of the box, there was a carving of a scene of hundreds and thousands of little people working on the ground. At this moment, Miao Qing gently injected his own qi into the box. A huge projection of heaven and earth suddenly appeared in the sky above the auction hall. Through the light projection, one could see a land of more than a thousand hectares. The sky was constantly dripping with dense qi in the form of droplets! Under the irrigation of the qi, a seed that had just been planted on the ground broke out of the ground in a breath¡¯s time. In three breaths¡¯ time, it had sprouted. In five breaths¡¯ time, it had bloomed and bore fruit. In ten breaths¡¯ time, it had matured! This rate of growth shocked everyone. At the same time, they felt the rich qi from the other world. Everyone¡¯s jaw dropped! ¡°This¡­ Even if such a treasure isn¡¯t used for planting, it¡¯s still very good even as a cultivation aid!¡± ¡°This degree of qi condensation is already close to a high-level Spirit Gathering Array, right?¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯ve never seen qi condensed to such a degree falling from the sky! If I can bathe in it, my usual cultivation speed would be more than twice as fast.¡± ¡°It¡¯s more than that! Feel the vitality coming from this world. Not only can it be used for cultivation, but it can also speed up recovery of injuries!¡± ¡°In some cases, it can even help to buy more time for a dying person!¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more exaggerated to say that people with higher talent can even comprehend the laws of life from it!¡± Just as everyone was talking to each other, Xu Youqing suddenly stood up and said loudly, ¡°Brothers in Lin City, please listen to me! Please be magnanimous and let me have this fifth-level treasure chest! ¡°The Xufeng Regiment will not let you give it up for nothing. If you have any missions in the future, you can hand them over to the Xufeng Regiment. Our Xufeng Regiment only needs six levels of commission, and we¡¯ll complete it perfectly for you.¡± ¡°Leader Xu Youqing is too polite! Such a treasure can only be used by big forces like you. This little old man will not join in the fun,¡± a tanned old man beside Xu Youqing suddenly said. ¡°Alright, I, Xu Youqing, will first thank everyone! I bid 45,000 spiritual stones for the Empty Treasure Chest!¡± Chapter 119 - The Furious Eldest Senior Brother! Even though the price was not considered high, it just happened to exceed the limit of everyone present in the hall. As it was difficult for him to bid above this price, and Xu Youqing had also promised to repay everyone, no one in the hall continued bidding. Suddenly, a bid came from the VIP room in the center of the second floor of the auction house. ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was a price that eldest senior brother Zhao Liren felt he could afford after discussion with his fellow disciples. Hearing the voice from the second floor, Xu Youqing snorted coldly and bid again. ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± The second floor was silent for a moment, but then an angry voice was heard. ¡°60,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was already half of the wealth of the members of the Battle Immortal Sect, but it had not reached half of the auction process yet! . Even though he had urged Lin Huaiyuan repeatedly before, he really could not take out any more spiritual stones. All the spiritual stones were used to purchase the auction items in Lin City. At this moment, Lin Huaiyuan was sitting on the ground with a pale face. He could not figure out where Lin Mo got so many auction items from. Before rushing here to participate in the auction, he had prepared to make a fool of Lin Mo with his senior brothers. At the start, when he heard that there would be ten precious treasures being auctioned off today, he had made a solemn vow to the second elder and Bai Wuheng. He had promised them beforehand that he would purchase all the items for today¡¯s auction and that Lin Mo was just bluffing with the auction list. However, what was happening now? Even if Lin Mo¡¯s next treasures were all from the continent, his plan had already failed. Even the second elder had almost lost all his wealth. If not for the last bit of assets that he was unable to sell within a short time, he might have been a poor man now! He had paid a huge sum for each item! At this moment, there were only three words in Lin Huaiyuan¡¯s mind ¨C it was over. It was over! His father had completely to Lin Mo this time! His father had completely lost the right to compete for the position of clan leader!Lin Huaiyuan was even thinking about how to explain this matter to the second elder after the auction. As for eldest senior brother Zhao Liren, he did not even want to pay attention to Lin Huaiyuan when he saw his despondent look. Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming¡¯s clans had their own specialties. One was good at forging while the other was good at making runes. They did not have any rigid demand for treasures like the Empty Treasure Box. If there was a chance, they would not mind bidding for it but now was not the right time. Therefore, the Xu Feng¡¯s Regiment commander, Xu Youqing, and his eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, were still competing! ¡°75,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°80,000 spiritual stones!¡± Eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, was more determined. He bought the Empty Treasure Chest for 80,000 spiritual stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning fifth-level Empty Treasure Chest! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 800 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining sixth-level Treasure Chest! ] ¡­ ¡°The next item to be auctioned is fifth-level Pure and Exquisite Divine Art!¡± ¡°The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was the cultivation technique that Lin Mo had obtained from the intruder that night, Lu Gan! Miao Qing turned around and opened the flannels on the tray. A pure, transparent, and exquisite aura surged toward him. It seemed to have condensed into the shape of a crystal-like exquisite pagoda in mid-air! The instant they saw this item, everyone on the second floor instantly stood up and pounced toward the front window, staring fixedly at the cultivation technique on the auction stage. The others were surprised, but in the largest auction room of the Battle Immortal Sect, they were shocked! ¡°That¡¯s Junior Brother Lu Qian¡¯s cultivation technique. That¡¯s something he carries around with him!¡± ¡°I know that symbol! When Junior Brother Lu Qian played with me last time, I proposed to use his Pure and Exquisite Divine Art as a bet, but he didn¡¯t agree. When we were fighting over it, I folded the corner of his Pure and Exquisite Divine Art! ¡°I can¡¯t remember this wrong. The auctioneer on the stage is holding the Pure and Exquisite Divine Art in his hand, and there¡¯s this mark on the corner. This is the one Junior Brother Lu Qian has!¡± ¡°As expected! We underestimated this auction house! The two of them must¡¯ve met with misfortune!¡± eldest senior brother Zhao Liren said through gritted teeth, and a stream of wrinkles appeared on his forehead. His hands were tightly clenched together, and blue veins popped out. ¡°Suck!¡± 1 ¡°Huff!¡± After taking a deep breath, his eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, closed his eyes for a long time. When he finally opened them, his eyes were already bloodshot. ¡°Junior Brothers, it looks like Lu Gan and Junior Brother Yu Shenkong have already fallen into Lin Mo¡¯s vicious hands. Tonight, we¡¯ll break into this auction house and send Lin Mo to accompany our two Junior Brothers!¡± The atmosphere in the largest auction room on the second floor was extremely heavy. It was as if dark clouds were pressing down on them, causing one to feel as if their breathing was being obstructed! Unlike the heavy atmosphere in the room, the atmosphere outside the auction house was extremely lively. Everyone wanted to possess this cultivation technique. ¡°30,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°40,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°55,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°75,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ In another auction room on the second floor, Qi Yifei scratched his head and said to his father, Qi Yueheng, ¡°Father! This Pure and Exquisite Divine Art seems to be a comprehensive cultivation technique that can increase one¡¯s strength. Should we bid for it too?¡± However, Qi Yueheng gently shook his head and then nodded. ¡°Father, what do you mean? Do we still need to hesitate about whether we should bid for it or not? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?¡± ¡°Our Qi clan has our own body tempering technique, and didn¡¯t we just bid for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique? This Pure and Exquisite Divine Art is also a fifth-level technique, and its effects are somewhat overlapping. We don¡¯t need it.¡± ¡°But if the final price is less than 80,000 spiritual stones, we can buy it.¡± As for the other two big clans in Forest City, one was in business, and the other was good at Talisman Seals. They did not really need a body strengthening technique, so they did not buy it. In the end, this Pure and Exquisite Divine Art was obtained by an ordinary-looking old man at an exaggerated price of 90,000 spiritual stones. Chapter 120 - Preparation of Spiritual Stones [ Ding! Congratulations, host! The auction for the fifth-level Pure and Exquisite Divine Art has been successful! ] [ You have received 800 times the profit! ] [ You have received the seventh-level Pure and Exquisite Divine Art! ] ¡­ ¡°The next item to be auctioned is also a fifth-level cultivation technique, Gale God¡¯s Breath Slash! This is a cultivation technique that allows the cultivator to control the power of the gale. It can be used for one¡¯s own movement, but it can also cause large-scale damage. Even within a narrow area, it can also cause explosive damage. ¡°The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!¡± As Miao Qing displayed the violent Gale God¡¯s Breath Slash, gusts of violent wind surged through the entire auction hall. The violent wind circled above everyone¡¯s heads, and the temperature of the entire auction hall dropped significantly. After Miao Qing explained the characteristics of this technique to everyone, he extended his hands to indicate that everyone could begin the auction. ¡°25,000 spiritual stones!¡± . ¡°30,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°35,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ The atmosphere in the auction hall gradually reached a climax. Other than the first few treasures that were purchased by the clan leaders on the second floor, the few items in the middle were basically catered for everyone in the hall! Although the cultivation technique was equally precious, it was likely that the clan leaders and big shots in the auction room on the second floor had spiritual stones reserved for the final treasures, right? Everyone in the auction hall was red-faced as they started bidding. No one was willing to lower their bids. ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°60,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°65,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ At this moment, seeing that the speed of bidding was gradually slowing down, Xu Youqing started to move again. ¡°Xiao Song seems to be cultivating a wind attribute cultivation technique¡­ As a brother-in-law, I can take out a mere 100,000 spiritual stones for the sake of pleasing my wife! ¡°80,000 spiritual stones!¡± The people who were struggling in the hall suddenly felt relieved when they heard the bid! After all, this was a price that they could not possibly reach! ¡°80,000 spiritual stones going once!¡± ¡°80,000 spiritual stones going twice!¡± ¡°80,000 spiritual stones going thrice! Sold!¡± [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off fifth-level cultivation technique, Gale God¡¯s Breath Slash! ] [ You have received 1,000 times the rebate! ] [ You have obtained a sixth-level cultivation technique, Gale God¡¯s Breath Slash! ] ¡­ ¡°This is Senior Brother Yu Shenkong¡¯s cultivation technique!¡± someone said with certainty in the VIP room at the center of the second floor. However, no one cared anymore. After all, they had no other choice between them and Lin Mo. They had to fight to the death! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± With the command of eldest senior brother Zhao Liren, all the Junior Brothers of the Battle Immortal Sect stood up. Indeed! There was no longer a need for them to continue sitting here. In addition, they had used up all their spirit stones. ¡°Tonight, we¡¯ll massacre the Lin clan auction house!¡± Looking at the trend of the auction, the subsequent items that would be auctioned later would only be increasingly precious. Even if they were to sit here, they would not be able to afford to participate in the auction. Furthermore, after knowing the whereabouts of their two junior brothers, their hearts were filled with hatred. How could they sit here and watch the auction? All of them wanted to rush up and kill that auctioneer and the owner of this auction house, Lin Mo. The other senior brothers might leave the Lin clan auction house in a fit of anger but not Lin Huaiyuan. He could not leave yet because he represented not only himself but also his father, the second elder of the Lin clan! Even if his plan failed, he had to find out which part of the plan had gone wrong because he had to report the situation at the auction site to his father. He could not go back like this. Or else, he might not be able to forgive himself. Soon, Lin Huaiyuan was the only one left in the auction room. He climbed to the porthole with great difficulty and stared at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage with a fierce look as if he wanted to eat Miao Qing alive. ¡°Well, the appetizer is over. Now, it¡¯s time for the real highlight of the auction!¡± In the VIP room, Bai Wuheng wiped his hands with a wet towel. Finally, he stood up and walked to the front window. If the previous two treasures were catered to the people on the first floor, then the highlight of the auction would create a battlefield of the big clans on the second floor. ¡°Alright, the first half of this auction has been successfully completed. Congratulations to all the cultivators for bidding on the treasures they desire. Next, we¡¯ll take a half-hour break! Thereafter, we¡¯ll begin the final four treasures auction! I can assure everyone that all the auction items are extremely precious and unprecedented! Continue your participation. I guarantee that this trip will not be in vain.¡± After Miao Qing bowed to everyone, he temporarily left the auction stage. ¡­ At the same time, the employees of the auction house appeared from both sides of the passageway, serving wine and fruits to everyone present. It was the same for the people in the VIP rooms on the second floor. This was also due to Lin Mo¡¯s good strategy. Although he had already released the news earlier, it was inevitable that some people would think that it was impossible for the auction house to have such valuable treasures and enter the auction hall with a casual attitude. After the first half of the auction, Lin Mo had already displayed his ability. During the halftime break, he would give them time to go back and gather more spiritual stones! ¡°Master!¡± After Miao Qing left the stage, he went to Lin Mo¡¯s room. ¡°Looking at the people from the royal auction house from your direction, what exactly is the situation in the VIP room they¡¯re in? Why didn¡¯t they make a move in the first half of the auction?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously while secretly guessing in his heart. Could it be that the people from the royal auction house in Lin City were all from the imperial city and they had high standards? Were they very confident in their own collections? Or could it be that their items overlapped with their own? ¡°Master! I can¡¯t see anything in that VIP room at all!¡± Miao Qing shook his head and said to Lin Mo. ¡°Alright then. When you go on stage later, try to stir up the atmosphere and get more people to bid to give everyone a sense of participation.¡± Lin Mo suggested. ¡°Alright, Master, I¡¯ll try my best!¡± Miao Qing replied with a bitter smile. Chapter 121 - Lin City Waves At this moment, Yan Rong appeared beside Lin Mo and said, ¡°Master, I feel that there are a lot of experts in the auction today!¡± ¡°Of course, those who can appear here today are all influential figures in Lin City. Which one of them doesn¡¯t have some strength?¡± ¡°But there¡¯s one thing that I find very strange!¡± Yan Rong said. ¡°Oh, What¡¯s strange about it? Tell me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the auction room in the middle of the second floor. Originally, it was quite normal. But when the fifth and sixth auction items were auctioned, I could clearly feel that the people in that room were very excited. The fluctuations are extremely intense! Furthermore, not long after the sixth item appeared, they all left the auction house together!¡± ¡®Is that so? Are they sensitive to the fifth and sixth items?¡¯ Lin Mo pondered for a moment. ¡°Those two items were obtained from the person who sneaked into the Lin auction house. Looks like the people who appeared in that VIP room today have some connection with the person who almost killed you!¡± At this moment, in the auction room on the second floor, Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming opened their microphones to communicate. ¡°Qi Yueheng, during the break, aren¡¯t you going home to gather more spiritual stones? The real climax of the auction is coming up next. Do you still have enough spiritual stones?¡± Zhao Gongming said into the microphone. ¡°Hehe, same to you too. Zhao Gongming, do you still have enough spiritual stones?¡± Qi Yueheng asked jokingly. . ¡°I haven¡¯t even started any bid yet so I have plenty of spiritual stones!¡± ¡°If you continue to say like this, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for us to continue our conversation!¡± Qi Yueheng felt a little guilty as if he had already spent a lot of spiritual stones. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. The reason why I¡¯m talking to you is because I want to discuss something with you.¡± ¡°Hmm? What is it?¡± ¡°Logically speaking, the spiritual stone reserves of our two clans are inferior to those of Bai Wuheng and the people from the royal auction house. However, this isn¡¯t a reason for us to surrender. ¡°Why don¡¯t you and I gather the remaining spiritual stones together? I feel that the next four treasures are all extremely useful. However, the price is not something that you and I can easily bear alone! ¡°We already have the VIP cards here, so we already know what the next treasures will be. If there¡¯s something that we need at the same time, we can bid for it together. The two great clans can use it together. What do you think?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Instead of not being able to get any, why don¡¯t we share one? At least we¡¯ll be able to grasp this opportunity!¡± Zhao Gongming, who had clearly not bid anything today, for some reason, sounded a little weak at this moment. It was as if there was something he urgently needed in the upcoming auction. ¡°Clan leader Zhao Gongming, you¡¯re right!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about those people from the royal auction house. They only came to Lin City to take charge of the auction house for a period. The main reason is that Bai Wuheng has been plotting against us all these years! ¡°He has done many small tricks in the dark. He always thought that we didn¡¯t know but in fact, his petty tricks have long been exposed! ¡°Like colluding with the Eighth Prince in the imperial city, providing him with funding for secret operations, and colluding with the ministers in the imperial court, wanting to change the tax laws of Lin City. In the end, wasn¡¯t it all for the convenience of the Bai clan to do their business?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I know that he, Bai Wuheng, has secretly accumulated a lot of forbidden things. However, the people who reported him previously were all suppressed by the Eighth Prince. ¡°After the Lin auction is over, I¡¯m afraid Bai Wuheng will have a lot of little tricks up his sleeves! Looking at his usual arrogant appearance, if he really managed to curry favor with the royal family, I¡¯m afraid that the situation in Lin City will change.¡± ¡°Who says so? Let¡¯s join forces.¡± ¡°Mm, let¡¯s join forces.¡± ¡­ During the intermission, other than the three big clans in the VIP room on the second floor and the people from the royal auction house, other clans were in chaos. After all, before this, not everyone had such strong confidence in the Lin auction house. Now, after witnessing the level of the precious items in the first half of the auction, over a hundred people immediately left the auction venue. They were all the representatives of the big and small clans in Lin City. At this moment, the situation at the auction hall was so serious that they could not make any decisions, especially for the second half of the auction! So, they needed to return to their clans in time to inform their respective clan leaders! ¡°Clan leader, something bad has happened!¡± Someone rushed back to his clan. ¡°Something bad? What¡¯s the big deal? Will the weather change in Lin City? You¡¯re making such a fuss every day! Learn from your brother, drink tea, play chess, improve the state of mind, go out on behalf of the clan, and calm down!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! You¡¯re right! But if we don¡¯t prepare for today¡¯s event, I¡¯m afraid the situation in Lin City will really change!¡± ¡®What nonsense are you talking about? Can such a matter be treated as a joke?¡¯ The clan leader¡¯s face turned cold as he turned his head and reprimanded. He really thought that this was a joke. ¡°But this matter is really urgent!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being urgent? Can you solve this matter if you¡¯re anxious?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°There are no buts! Come here, sit down and talk!¡± the clan leader picked up the tea on the table and said calmly. ¡°Ah? Yes¡­¡± Seeing his youngest son sitting down, the patriarch said slowly, ¡°Are you calm now? What did you want to say?¡± ¡°Yes! I¡¯m calm now! Clan leader, with your enlightening words, I think Lin City will never change.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s more like it!¡± ¡°But if we don¡¯t interfere, Lin City might change its fate soon! Clan leader, I just came back from the Lin auction house. You guys don¡¯t know that in the past hour, the Lin auction house had auctioned off six treasures. The key was that all of them were at least mid fifth-level!¡± ¡°Now is the half-hour break so I came back to update you that after this, the second half of the auction will be held!¡± Chapter 122 - Start the Auction! ¡°The items in this second half of the auction are basically all sixth-level items, and I heard that there¡¯s even a seventh-level treasure!¡± ¡°Spit!¡± The clan leader spat out the tea that he had drunk earlier. ¡°What?! Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?!¡± The old patriarch roared angrily! ¡°Sixth and seventh-level treasures haven¡¯t appeared in Lin City for ten years. I haven¡¯t even seen a real seventh-level treasure in my entire life!¡± ¡°You little brat, how can you sit and drink tea at this time? Why can¡¯t you learn from your big brother? You don¡¯t have any manners at all!¡± ¡°Ah? Clan leader, didn¡¯t you say that I should learn from my big brother and sit down and calm down?¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t care about you anymore!¡± The old clan leader pretended to leave, and that little brat was still sitting on the spot. He did not expect that the clan leader would suddenly turn his head over. ¡°How can you still have the nerve to sit there?! Why aren¡¯t you going to the accounts room to check how many spiritual stones we still have? Hurry up and call your brothers. Let¡¯s go to the Lin clan auction house!¡± . ¡­ ¡°Father! Something bad has happened!¡± ¡°Wife, hurry up and take all the spiritual stones we have. Hurry up and go to the Lin auction house!¡± ¡°Big Brother, why are you still here to settle accounts? Lin City is about to change. Hurry up and take all the spiritual stones you have in reserve and go to the Lin auction house!¡± ¡°Ah, what¡¯s the point of going to the Lin auction house? This isn¡¯t the imperial city. Fourth-level treasures are precious. It¡¯s already amazing to have fifth-level treasures. You still want changes in Lin City? I¡¯m afraid you haven¡¯t woken up yet!¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s the Lin auction house that¡¯s auctioning off a large number of treasures this time! Fifth-level treasures are only the most basic ones. They have already auctioned off six of them earlier. Half an hour later, there will be sixth and even seventh-level treasures to be auctioned off.¡± ¡°What? Then hurry up and leave!¡± ¡­ The entire Lin City was in an uproar. This city was initially like a sleeping giant beast. Only at this moment did the Lin auction house gradually wake the city up. The Lin auction house was still very crowded even though many people had left. In the final ten minutes of the break, a large group of people suddenly rushed in. The Lin auction house was one of the two largest auction houses in Lin City. There were nearly a thousand seats in the auction house, but at this moment, there were no empty seats left. Those who came early had seats while those who were late stood around in the hall. There were even people who spent hundreds and thousands of spiritual stones just to buy a seat in the Lin clan auction house. At this moment, this batch of people who came in were the real leaders of the various great clans in Lin City. They had a large amount of spiritual stones on them to participate in the auction. Lin Mo¡¯s sudden action of releasing a large number of treasures for auction had unexpectedly allowed quite a number of low-level cultivators in Lin City to earn a fortune. ¡­ ¡°Welcome everyone back to the Lin auction house. Next, we¡¯ll proceed with the second half of the auction where a total of four treasures will be auctioned off. The final item will be a seventh-level treasure. Everyone, please rest assured of the reputation of the Lin auction house.¡± If Miao Qing had said this in the first half of the auction, everyone present would not have believed it. Some would even curse at him. However, now that he had said it, it suddenly gained some credibility! ¡°I wonder what kind of treasure the Lin auction house will be auctioned this time. I¡¯ve brought all my wealth here. If there really is a treasure that can increase my strength, that would be great! It¡¯s also possible to avenge my parents¡­¡± ¡°If I can bid a suitable weapon this time, I have the confidence to defeat the guards in that underground palace¡­¡± ¡°If I can bid a more advanced cultivation technique, I¡¯ll have the confidence to lead my clan out of Lin City and even go to the imperial city to compete with those who are high and mighty!¡± ¡°The next treasure to be auctioned is a mid sixth-level Barrier Breaking Pill.¡± ¡°The starting price is 30,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!¡± Similar to the first half of the auction, the treasure used for the warm-up was still a pill. After Miao Qing showed the treasure bottle carved from yellow jade, he pulled out the bottle stopper in the direction of the crowd below. In the next moment, a fragrance instantly spread throughout the venue! Everyone who smelled the scent felt their minds clear up in an instant, and the irritation in their hearts disappeared without a trace! ¡°Oh my god! This is just the smell of the pill, and it already has such an obvious effect!¡± ¡°I¡­ I feel that the realm that has trapped me for ten years is somewhat loosened!¡± Someone below the auction stage was breathing heavily with his red eyes. His eyes were burning as he stared at the pill in Miao Qing¡¯s hand. It was said to be a good item that could allow one to break through the limit of the ninth-level of dragon transformation realm! ¡°That¡¯s right! My master once said that there were as many as forty levels to the pinnacle of the dragon transformation realm! The first nine levels are just ordinary cultivation realm, and if you can get the legendary Barrier Breaking Pill, you can temper all 31 sections of the spine! ¡°Once you do that, you¡¯ll be able to manifest a dragon in your spine. When you break through, you¡¯ll be able to enter the next level of dragon transformation realm! ¡°Yeah, if I were to cultivate to the dragon transformation realm, I¡¯d at most be able to cultivate to the ninth-level. After that, I¡¯ll be stuck in this realm for the rest of my life. It¡¯s said that this is a restriction from the imperial city, and it¡¯s to control the number of experts other than the Imperial City!¡± ¡°Ah, there¡¯s such a thing?¡± Some people were communicating in whispers, and some people were shocked that there was such a secret in this world. However, the people who were bidding had already begun to compete! ¡°35,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°40,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°45,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ To ordinary people, this news might be a secret that they had never heard of. However, to the clan leaders of the big clans in Lin City, it was an extremely ordinary small matter! Chapter 123 - The Exploding Scene! It was also because they had obtained the secret order that they did not usually put all their energy into cultivation. Instead, they racked their brains to please some people in the Imperial City! However, they did not expect that after spending a great deal of effort, the thing they longed for the most would appear on the auction stage at this moment! Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire auction hall reached a climax right at the start of the second half of the auction! On the second floor of the Lin auction house, in the VIP room where the people from the royal auction house were located, other than the elders, everyone¡¯s breathing immediately stopped. Their eyes were similarly burning as they looked through the window at the figure on the auction stage. Their eyes were somewhat piercing. ¡°Everyone, if you cooperate with me and manage the royal auction house during this last period, the person in the Imperial City will directly give you the Barrier Breaking Pill when your term ends! ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t forget that we¡¯re here to find out the true situation of Lin Mo. We¡¯re not here to participate in the auction!¡± the person from the royal auction house frowned and said seriously. Only after hearing these words did the fervor in the eyes of the people in the room subside a little. ¡°That¡¯s right! Elder, please be at ease. Assisting in management is our responsibility.¡± ¡­ ¡°Thinking about it, Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming, along with the beasts below the stage must really want the Barrier Breaking Pill!¡± . A strange smile appeared on Bai Wuheng¡¯s face. He called the cultivators below the stage as animals! ¡°70,000 spiritual stones!¡± Qi Yueheng made his move. ¡°80,000 spiritual stones!¡± Zhao Gongming followed up with a bid. This kind of precious item could only be used by one person. Even if they formed an alliance, it would be useless. Therefore, they began to bid against each other tacitly. ¡°85,000 spiritual stones!¡± The uncle below the stage did not know what identity he had, but he made another bid at this time. Previously, he was the one who had bought the Pure and Exquisite Divine Art! ¡°90,000 spiritual stones!¡± The Xu Feng¡¯s Regiment commander, Xu Youqing, also had intense emotions. Although he wanted to repeat the promise he had made to everyone, the people around him did not give him the chance to speak. Who would be willing to give up such a precious pill that could change their lives? ¡°110,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng made his move, raising the price of the auction venue by another level. When the people on the first floor heard this, they immediately felt a bucket of cold water pouring down from their heads. Then, the scene instantly became much quieter. ¡°Look at the expressions on their faces now, it¡¯s really wonderful. I haven¡¯t been in such a good mood like today for many years.¡± In Bai Wuheng¡¯s VIP room, there was only him and his son, Bai Yanlang, so he spoke without thinking. On the other hand, his son was looking at the people on the first floor from the window. He was so excited that he did not have the time to respond to his father¡¯s words. ¡°Damn it! It looks like I¡¯m going to have to pay a huge price. But this is only the first item to be auctioned!¡± Zhao Gongming sat in the auction room with a bitter expression. Their Zhao clan was good at making talismans. Other than making techniques, they valued cultivation and qi control greatly. There was one expert who had a qualitative change! Hence, to them, this pill was a treasure that they were determined to obtain! ¡°130,000 spiritual stones!¡± The thought was just a thought, but Zhao Gongming¡¯s hands were not slow at all. ¡°150,000 spiritual stones!¡± Qi Yueheng followed closely behind and immediately increased the bid. 180,000 spiritual stones! 200,000 spiritual stones! ¡­ The various large clans were unwilling to give up this hard-earned pill. The auction price was also rapidly rising, and many small clans had spent all their wealth on this. Such a rapid rise in price was something that even the clan leaders in the VIP rooms on the second floor could not bear. In the end, this sixth-level Barrier Breaking Pill was bought by the determined Zhao Gongming at the price of 300,000 spiritual stones! [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully obtaining the sixth-level Barrier Breaking Pill! ] [ Congratulations to host, you have obtained 900 times the profit! ] [ You have obtained a seventh-level Spirit Barrier Pill! ] ¡­ ¡°The next treasure to be auctioned is sixth-level Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger!¡± Miao Qing led four guards from the auction house backstage and carried a huge iron cage up. ¡°The starting price is 30,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must be no less than 5,000 spiritual stones. You can start bidding now!¡± ¡°What! A Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger? That¡¯s a high-level exotic beast even in the Dark Forest, right?¡± ¡°I heard that a caravan took the risk to transport goods from the east side of the Dark Forest previously. In the end, all of them died mysteriously! But their goods weren¡¯t missing! According to the investigation of the Lin City authorities, it seemed that the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger was the one who made the move!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of any clan in Lin City that specializes in beast fighting.¡± ¡°If this treasure can be completely tamed, it would be enough for any clan to do whatever they want in Lin City.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, the Lin auction house is auctioning off such a high-level treasure? Aren¡¯t they afraid that after someone buys it, they will sweep the Lin clan clean?¡± ¡°Hahaha, if you have such thoughts, I can only say that you¡¯re still too young! If you don¡¯t have enough confidence, would the Lin clan dare to take out such an item to auction? Can¡¯t they use it themselves?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Miao Qing removed the red cloth covering the cage and a tiger instantly appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes! As if it was the first time it had seen so many humans, the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger was a little nervous and immediately stood up on guard. Its front legs were half-sprawled, and its back legs were slightly bent, maintaining a posture that was ready to attack at any moment. It bared its teeth and roared. ¡°Roar!¡± As expected of the king of beasts, the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger. When it roared, the faces of the cultivators closest to it turned pale, and there were even some who were trembling from head to toe. ¡°Ahhhh!¡± ¡°There¡¯s a strange beast here that wants to eat people! Save us!¡± The chaos in the auction hall didn¡¯t last long before Bai Wuheng, who was in the VIP room on the second floor, made his move. ¡°50,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Even if we can¡¯t get this beast at the auction, we must let the other clans directly lose the right to continue bidding against our Bai clan on the other items!¡± ¡°There are still two items left. They look very compatible. I don¡¯t want to miss them.¡± 60,000 spiritual stones! 70,000 spiritual stones! 75,000 spiritual stones! ¡­ The price was slowly rising. It could be seen that there were not many people who wanted to buy a sixth-level exotic beast, the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger. This was mainly because in Lin City, the strength of an individual was more revered. Suddenly, an aged voice sounded from the VIP room on the second floor. Chapter 124 - Sixth ¡°150,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was the voice from the royal auction house. Miao Qing instantly found the owner of this voice. It was from the room in the royal auction house that Lin Mo had asked him to pay attention to earlier. ¡°Oh, I didn¡¯t expect those people to make a move!¡± Bai Wuheng had the geographical advantage in the VIP room. Naturally, he immediately found the person who made the bid. ¡°According to the Eighth Prince, the person behind the royal auction house is the person who manages the national treasury and the tax collection of the entire dynasty. It¡¯s said that this person doesn¡¯t seem to be on good terms with the Eighth Prince!¡± After muttering a few words, Bai Wuheng directly made his bid. ¡°180,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°190,000 spiritual stones!¡± In the VIP room of the royal auction house, someone participating in the auction raised the price without any hesitation! . ¡°200,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng, who seemed to genuinely want to do something for the Eighth Prince, raised the price without any hesitation. After a moment of hesitation, the royal auction house made another bid. ¡°250,000 spiritual stones!¡± As if estimating that this price had already exceeded the price of the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger, Bai Wuheng was afraid that if he raised his bid again, the people from the royal auction house would deliberately not bid again. After exchanging glances, the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger would undoubtedly fall into his hands, so he decided not to make another bid. In the end, this sixth-level exotic beast was bought by someone in the royal auction house¡¯s VIP room for 250,000 spiritual stones. ¡°Congratulations! Elder, you¡¯ve finally found a suitable subdued beast!¡± ¡°Looks like this trip to the auction wasn¡¯t in vain! I¡¯ve traveled the continent for half my life, but I¡¯ve never met a suitable tiger-type subdued beast. I didn¡¯t expect to meet one at the end of my tenure in Lin City.¡± ¡°Looks like the heavens have opened their eyes! We¡¯ll be returning to the Imperial City in a few days. After we ask that person to bestow us with medicinal pills, our strength will experience a great increase!¡± Although the elder¡¯s tone was light, who did not understand what he said? To beastmasters, their strength came mostly from their subdued beasts. As for their own level, it was not that important! As for the old man, his own strength was already unfathomable to begin with. Now, with the addition of the Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger, it was like adding wings to a tiger! It turned out that the person who brought the tiger was the old man himself. At this moment, he was smiling so much that he could not even see his eyes! [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off a sixth-level Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger! ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining a thousand times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining a sixth-level Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger! ] 2 ¡­ Miao Qing brought a handmaiden holding a tray to the center of the auction stage and said, ¡°Next up for the second half of the auction is the third treasure, a top sixth-level weapon ¨C Joan of Arc Secret Room!¡± 1 ¡°The starting price is 50,000 spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 spiritual stones!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Qing turned around and showed everyone the weapon. It was a plain white longsword that was more than three feet long. As if to prove that the weapon was a sixth-level sword, another guard from the auction house took out an iron plate. This iron plate was about three feet thick and half a meter in diameter. It was covered in black spots. After the guard placed it on the ground, Miao Qing took a few steps forward with the sword in his hand. ¡°As everyone knows, the iron plate in front of me is the strongest black spot iron plate. Please take a good look. I¡¯ll use the sword to hack it.¡± As he spoke, Miao Qing raised his hand and was about to hack forward. ¡°No, this is a top sixth-level sword. If this fails, won¡¯t the sword be destroyed?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do it! This is such a pity! Who would measure the quality of a sword by hacking the black-spotted iron plate?¡± ¡°Hurry up. I was just about to see what kind of power this legendary top sixth-level sword qi has?¡± ¡°Auctioneer! Hack down ruthlessly. Let us witness it and broaden our horizons!¡± Among the crowd below the stage, there were some who advised Miao Qing not to act rashly, while there were also some who did not mind the commotion and urged Miao Qing to make a move. However, Lin Mo had told Miao Qing about all the procedures in the auction hall in advance. It was also due to his trust in Lin Mo that Miao Qing would make such a move. Otherwise, he would not have the guts to do so! ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± ¡°Clang!¡± A crisp sound rang out! Following that, a cold silvery-white half-moon-shaped ray of light streaked across the iron plate in front of them. The half-meter diameter, three-foot-thick, black-spotted iron plate that had been erected in front of everyone¡¯s eyes earlier had broken into two! The iron plate that had been chopped off fell onto the auction stage, giving off a dull thud. This time, whether it was those who had shouted at Miao Qing to speed up his movements or those who had tried to dissuade him from being impulsive, they were all stunned by the scene before their eyes! ¡°What?! A top sixth-level sword has such power?¡± ¡°Why do I feel that this seems to be a legendary sword?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! A sixth-level sword has such powerful power?¡± ¡°And the auction house dared to use an iron plate as a test object, and they succeeded? Even if this thing is used to make some third-level weapons, it can still be considered a luxury to be broken into two!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± ¡­ Even though Miao Qing was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he originally thought that it would be good enough if he could cut out a few cracks for everyone to see. However, he did not expect it to be so clean and neat. It was indeed a shocking ending! Suppressing the shock in his heart, Miao Qing showed the body of the longsword in his right hand to everyone, then put it back into its scabbard. Then, he placed the longsword back on the tray in the hands of the handmaiden beside him as he looked at everyone once again. ¡°Sixth-level sword! Joan of Arc Secret Room! The starting price is 50,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 10,000 spiritual stones! Now, the auction begins!¡± Powerful weapons had always been the most direct goal of all cultivators. Therefore, when Miao Qing said these words, the scene instantly turned into a frenzy. 70,000 spiritual stones! 90,000 spiritual stones! 130,000 spiritual stones! 170,000 spiritual stones! ¡­ The auction price skyrocketed. At this time, even in the auction room on the second floor, none of the clans wanted to give up. They were still waiting for the crowd below the stage to bid to reach a peak value. Seeing the opportunity, Qi Yuexeng directly opened his mouth. ¡°250,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°300,000 spiritual stones!¡± Following closely behind the bid was the Bai clan leader, Bai Wuheng, who had long prepared himself. Chapter 125 - Seventh ¡°I must get this longsword this time!¡± Bai Wuheng clenched his fists and said fiercely in the room. ¡°Oh? I didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a good thing to be auctioned in the final month of our term in Lin City,¡± an elder of the royal auction house said in the VIP room of the royal auction house. ¡°Hahaha, it seems that the most precious treasures in this auction are none other than our royal auction house!¡± ¡°Speaking of financial competition, our royal auction house has never been afraid of anyone!¡± ¡°My lifelong wish is just to find a small sword that¡¯s worthy of my fifth-level sword technique. Thank you for your favor. I won¡¯t stand on ceremony! Let¡¯s see who dares to compete with me?¡± ¡°400,000 spiritual stones!¡± Miao Qing on the auction stage instantly read out the price. ¡°400,000 spiritual stones! Is there anyone else who will bid higher than this? Think it through, this is a sixth-level sword!¡± ¡°430,000 spiritual stones!¡± As this price had already exceeded the scope of Qi Yueheng or Zhao Gongming¡¯s financial resources, the two clans decided to make a joint bid after contacting each other. . ¡°450,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng gritted his teeth and reported a number with his eyes wide open! Bai Yanlang, who was standing at the side, immediately reported the price for his father. ¡°500,000 spiritual stones!¡± As if after a long period of struggle, the Xu Feng Regiment commander, Xu Youqing, raised his right hand with bloodshot eyes and also made a bid. Everyone in the hall was instantly shocked. There was a wealthy man who could take out so many spiritual stones! Therefore, they all cast a mixture of admiration, envy, and shock at him! Could it be that being a mercenary group made money this way? ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Today¡¯s auction really opened my eyes. After leaving the auction house, I¡¯ll report to the Xu Feng Regiment. I also don¡¯t have the ambition to casually auction like Commander Xu Youqing. As long as I can buy a shop and marry a wife, I¡¯ll be satisfied for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°500,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°This is the offer of Xu Youqing, the commander of the Xu Feng Regiment. Is there anyone who can offer more?¡± ¡°If this sword could split the iron plate in a single strike, then in the battle, how would it perform?¡± ¡°Will the enemy¡¯s weapon be broken by your sword? Furthermore, no one said that one couldn¡¯t infuse one¡¯s vital energy into it during a battle. After infusing one¡¯s vital energy into such a powerful sword, how sharp would it be? Could it be that everyone didn¡¯t wish to bring it home and try it out for themselves?¡± It seemed like Lin Mo¡¯s earlier warning had some effect. At this moment, Miao Qing was trying to stir up everyone¡¯s emotions, continuously describing the strength of this sword to the people in the hall. ¡°600,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng deliberated for a long time before he finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and bid. ¡°Good! Everyone, this is the bid from the VIP room. 600,000 spiritual stones. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?¡± At this moment, Miao Qing seemed to have just entered the state of an auctioneer. His entire being became excited, and he finally let go of himself. He walked around the auction stage, displaying the sword! At this moment, in the VIP room of the royal auction house, the elder who wanted to bid for the sword could only bitterly shake his head at the crowd. ¡°This won¡¯t do. After all, this old man hasn¡¯t dealt with young people in a few years.¡± ¡°This price is a little too high. This old man will not follow. If you have regrets, then leave it!¡± It was true that the people of this district were in charge of the royal auction house, but the wealth of the royal auction house was not equal to their wealth. If there was no sufficient reason and it was only for the will of an elder, then the royal auction house would not help him! ¡°600,000 spiritual stones!¡± The atmosphere in the auction hall was still hot, but there were more sighs and jeers. ¡°600,000 spiritual stones twice!¡± On the second floor, Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming also slowly exhaled as they communicated and closed their eyes as if they were resigned to their fate. This price had already exceeded the price in the hearts of the two clan leaders, so they had no choice but to give up. ¡°600,000 spiritual stones thrice!¡± ¡°Deal!¡± As Miao Qing¡¯s gavel that symbolized the success of the auction fell, this sixth-level sword, Joan of Arc Secret Room, was bought by Bai Wuheng with an exaggerated price of 600,000 spiritual stones! Generally speaking, the price of a sixth-level sword was around 400,000 spiritual stones. However, this price was only the official price. It was a little high to buy it at a price that exceeded half of the official price. However, it seemed that Bai Wuheng did not seem to care. His relationship with the Lin auction house was one that was willing to take a beating. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for auctioning top sixth-level Joan of Arc Secret Room! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 7,000 times the profit! ] [ The host has obtained a low ninth-level weapon ¨C Plain-clothed Snow White! ] 1 ¡­ ¡°The next item to be auctioned is the final item of this auction. Everyone, please wait and see!¡± Miao Qing stood in the middle of the auction stage, wearing white gloves and clapping his hands. The maid next to him carried a tray up again. This time, even though she had not shown it to everyone yet, everyone present felt that there was a sharp aura in the air around them! This aura scraped their skin until it hurt! Everyone stared at the stage in shock, guessing what kind of treasure it was? ¡°The last treasure of this auction ¨C seventh-level sword manual, Astral God Sword Technique!¡± As he said this, Miao Qing turned around and lifted the red cloth on the tray. He picked up a book with a blue cover. At this moment, the entire auction hall seemed to be suffused with a blue light. Everyone seemed to be in a boundless starry sky. In the pitch-black background, white light spots suddenly formed. Those white light spots drew mysterious traces in the sky, and they seemed to contain a mysterious connection with each other. ¡°This¡­ I seem to have seen the great dao of stars marks from these traces!¡± Some people asked their questions in shock. ¡°I seem to have felt the ultimate mystery of the great dao of Raging Flame from this star!¡± ¡°Yeah! This star seems to contain ice from thousands of years. Just one look at it and you feel like you¡¯re going to freeze to death.¡± Chapter 126 - The Plan ¡°What are you guys talking about? These dots are clearly forming a peerless formation!¡± ¡­ After quietly waiting for everyone to finish their astonishment, Miao Qing opened his mouth to speak again. ¡°This is a seventh-level sword manual. The starting price of the Astral God Sword Technique is 300,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 50,000 spiritual stones! The auction begins now!¡± As his voice fell, the entire auction hall instantly fell silent. It was because the starting price had already exceeded most people¡¯s entire wealth! Even though they were envious, and there were even quite a number of people who wanted to directly snatch it from here, they still managed to control their greed in the end! For the Lin clan to be able to grow in Lin City for thousands of years, it could not be said that their clan¡¯s foundation was not deep. Moreover, since they were able to take out a seventh-level sword manual for auction, did that mean that this sword manual was not that important to the Lin clan? As the crowd slowly figured out this juncture, everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. Thinking carefully, they were extremely terrified! At this moment, on the second floor. . Bai Wuheng¡¯s eyes were eagerly staring at the sword manual on the auction stage. ¡°Really? These are all real! My guess is right. These last two items are indeed a set! Fortunately, the longsword from before has already been bought by me! A longsword and a sword technique. Lin clan, what on earth are you trying to do?¡± ¡®However, since you¡¯ve taken it out, then this is my opportunity!¡¯ Bai Wuheng thought to himself. At this moment, Bai Yanlang, who was beside him, opened a wooden box in his hand. Inside the wooden box were copies of the deed to the house and the shop. ¡°Father! I knew that there might be unexpected circumstances during this trip, so I brought the deed to the house and the shop that I could spare!¡± When Bai Wuheng heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the wooden box in surprise. Then, he looked at Bai Yanlang and said with great gratification, ¡°Son, you¡¯ve finally grown up. Now, you¡¯ve even learned to share my worries. Not bad at all!¡± ¡°Hahahahaha. No, no, no! It¡¯s all because Father taught me well.¡± ¡­ In the VIP room of the royal auction house. The group of elders of the royal auction house stared at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage with their eyes wide open. For a moment, they were speechless. ¡°Elders, is this sword technique¡­?¡± ¡°It seems that there hasn¡¯t been any seventh-level sword manual released in the Imperial City recently! Could it be that this sword technique was recently brought out from some ruins?¡± ¡°Such a treasure shouldn¡¯t be left outside the Imperial City. We should do our best to send this sword technique to the Imperial City!¡± Ever since the Astral God Sword Technique was brought out and displayed to everyone, the royal auction house¡¯s biggest person in charge, the elder, had sat on the sofa. At this moment, after he heard the discussions of the people around him, only then did he slowly open his eyes. ¡°This is a seventh-level sword technique, the Astral God Sword Technique! This time, we must do everything to make it ours!¡± ¡°Yes! Grand elder!¡± the other elders present immediately responded. ¡­ ¡°This is the legendary seventh-level sword technique, and it¡¯s real!¡± ¡°Zhao Gongming, do you have any thoughts?¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking me? Qi Yueheng, have you been the clan leader for so long that you¡¯ve forgotten what you¡¯re capable of?¡± ¡°Why do you think he¡¯d appear in the auction house for something like this? Do you think those people from the royal auction house next door will let it go at this time?¡± Zhao Gongming said helplessly. ¡°That won¡¯t do. If I don¡¯t try to fight for such a great opportunity for no reason, I think I¡¯ll regret it to death! In that case, hand over all your spiritual stones to me. If I succeed, we¡¯ll comprehend it together!¡± Hearing Qi Yueheng¡¯s unwillingness, Zhao Gongming was a little moved, so he said, ¡°Alright then, take my spiritual stones. We¡¯ll talk about the rest after the bid is successful!¡± ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction of the seventh-level sword manual, Astral God Sword Technique.¡± ¡°The starting price is 100,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 10,000 spiritual stones!¡± 1 ¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s really a seventh-level sword manual! I¡¯ve never seen such a high-level sword manual before!¡± ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s not talk about you. I¡¯ve traveled all over the world all my life, and the highest-level treasure I¡¯ve seen is only a fifth-level magic tool.¡± ¡°Seventh-level treasure¡­ This is an occurrence in thousands of years outside of the Imperial City!¡± Some people were so excited that they were dancing. Their faces were red as they reached out their hands to grab the white spots of light that were constantly flowing above their heads, hoping to grab one or two of them. It was as if this would satisfy their desire for simplicity. Some people looked at the auction stage with fervent expressions. The ancient secret manual in Miao Qing¡¯s hands seemed to be worshipping a few sacred existences. No one knew where the Lin auction house had obtained such a precious treasure. For this rare seventh-level treasure to be put up for auction, this was no ordinary heroic spirit. ¡°200,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was the voice from the VIP room where the royal auction house was located. In an auction like this where the starting price was 100,000 spiritual stones, almost everyone on the first floor of the auction could only watch instead of participating in the auction. Only the representatives of the major powers in the VIP rooms on the second floor, as well as a few other people, were qualified to participate in the bidding. In the eyes of the people who did not know the truth, they regarded the royal auction house as a mysterious representative. However, in the eyes of Miao Qing and the other people who were qualified to bid, this represented the attitude of the royal family. ¡°Royal auction house? You have such great authority to bid!¡± Bai Wuheng sneered in the auction room and immediately bid. ¡°250,000 spiritual stones!¡± 1 Qi Yueheng, who had been a little worried earlier, did not hesitate after seeing that Bai Wuheng had already made his bid. ¡°300,000 spiritual stones!¡± As the various factions entered the auction hall one after another, a rare bidding sound could be heard from the auction hall on the first floor. ¡°330,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was a mysterious person in a corner. He was dressed in a long black robe, and his face was also covered by a mask that had the ability to block spiritual detection. ¡°350,000 spiritual stones!¡± This was the work of the Xu Feng Regiment¡¯s commander, Xu Youqing. He was the leader of a mercenary group and a wanderer without a fixed home. If he had to wander around for his whole life, or even live in another dynasty to be able to obtain this treasure, he was willing to do so! Chapter 127 - Top Therefore, he did not care about the royal family¡¯s bids at all! As the first round of bids came to an end, Miao Qing, who was on the auction stage, gently placed the ancient sword manual in his hand on the tray carried by the maidservant beside him. ¡°Everyone, this is the seventh-level sword manual, Astral God Sword Technique! It has the power to depict the stars in the sky and it also contains the truth of heaven and earth between the stars! ¡°Everyone knows that the ultimate goal of all cultivators is to comprehend the truth of heaven and earth, right? ¡°Whether it¡¯s the path of alchemy, formations, or great daos, they can all be enlightened after obtaining this sword manual, or even further. ¡°With such a secret manual containing the rule of heaven and earth, even if one doesn¡¯t cultivate it, it¡¯s still an inexhaustible treasure trove!¡± ¡°Damn it! All the secrets of the sword manual have been revealed by him!¡± ¡°The other clans in Lin City don¡¯t give face to our royal family¡¯s auction. Looks like we can only raise the price. Later, we must inform Lord Sikong! Nowadays, any cat or dog dares to come out and compete with the royal family!¡± ¡°500,000 spiritual stones!¡± Since they had already decided to participate in the bid, the royal auction house did not hide anymore. After all, with the backing of the royal family, if they said that they were second in wealth, then no one would dare to say that they were first! . At least, in their knowledge, no one had ever been richer than the royal family! ¡°550,000 spiritual stones!¡± No one had expected that Bai Wuheng would be the first to bid after the people from the royal auction house had finished bidding! Only the people from the royal auction house could not see Bai Wuheng¡¯s arrogant look and attitude. It was as if he did not care about the royal auction house at all! The royal auction house looked in the direction where the voice came from and picked up the precious artifact that was used for the communication between the VIP rooms. ¡°Bai Wuheng, do you not know who¡¯s the one behind the royal auction house? If you continue to provoke us unscrupulously, do you believe that I can make your Bai clan¡¯s business fail in this Yanhuang Dynasty? ¡°I wonder what will happen if your Bai clan offends the head of the tax and grain department, Sikong Huan. Have you thought about that?¡± However, the response was silence. The royal auction house wanted to make him retreat because they thought that he was just a member of the Bai clan. However, behind him was the Eighth Prince who had the potential to fight for the pinnacle of power in the Yanhuang Dynasty! At this time, he naturally would not put Sikong Huan, the head of the tax department, in his eyes! However, Qi Yueheng made another bid. ¡°560,000 spiritual stones!¡± In fact, this was already approaching the limit of the spiritual stones that Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming could afford. After that, they would have to sell their assets. Unless it was necessary, they were not willing to go that far. ¡°Heh! The big clans in Lin City are really interesting. They took turns to provoke our royal auction house and even the head of the tax and grain department, Sikong Huan¡¯s authority? They are really brave! I want to see if you¡¯re really not afraid of death, or are you just acting like a wolf with a big tail!¡± The elder of the royal auction house repeated what he had said to Bai Wuheng earlier to Qi Yueheng. This was because Zhao Gongming had remained silent the entire time! He knew that he had retreated. Not bad, he knew when to advance and when to retreat! However, Qi Yueheng was struggling in his heart. He was not an idiot. He knew that the reason why the royal auction house was named as such was because it was the representative of the royal family! However, this was an opportunity that could change the foundation of his clan. If he was afraid, he would not have contacted Zhao Gongming. Even if he withdrew from the bidding, he was sure that the people of the royal auction house had already remembered him. In fact, no matter what Qi Yueheng did at this time, it was already useless! Since he had already offended the tax and grain department, he might as well offend them to the end. On the contrary, if he won, he would have a chance of survival. At worst, he could just bring the Qi clan and leave the Yanhuang Dynasty. Compared to the destruction of his clan, this was not an unacceptable outcome. His own strength was what a clan leader like him cared about the most! ¡°600,000 spiritual stones!¡± It was still that mysterious, black-robed man in the corner on the first floor of the auction house! Other than placing his bid, he did not move at all. He was indifferent to the complicated gazes of the people around him. ¡°640,000 spiritual stones!¡± The Xu Feng Regiment commander, Xu Youqing, gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes and struggled to bid. Fortunately, he had accumulated some wealth over the years. Otherwise, the Lin auction house would have bankrupted him. At the same time, he decided in his heart that if there were other people bidding, he would not make a move. Although he was very unwilling, the truth could only be so. ¡°Everyone! This is a top seventh-level sword manual! You have to think carefully. If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you¡¯ll never know when the next time would be. ¡°This is a key treasure that concerns your cultivation career! It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that it¡¯s a chance given by the heavens to change your fate. What are you all hesitating for? ¡°Think about it. Historically, it¡¯s rare to see fifth and sixth-level treasures. Now that a complete seventh-level cultivation technique has been placed in front of you, are you all really not tempted?¡± ¡°Not good. We can¡¯t let this kid continue!¡± In the auction room on the second floor, the expressions of the elders of the royal auction house changed. This was because the previous fights between the major clans and forces were all conducted in secret, so it was still fine. However, with Miao Qing¡¯s words now, it was very likely that he would incite those who did not have a high desire to bid but had the strength to do so! ¡°800,000 spiritual stones!¡± The royal auction house gritted its teeth and raised the price by more than 100,000 spiritual stones, hoping to extinguish the impulsive thoughts of the others. At this moment, in the VIP room where the people of the royal auction house were, the other elders of the royal auction house were also extremely regretful of the current situation. If no one had come to compete with the royal auction house earlier, the price of a seventh-level sword manual would probably not be like this. Chapter 128 - Confrontation The price had risen so quickly! However, no one had expected that the price that the royal auction house thought could overwhelm the entire auction house would be broken in less than three seconds! ¡°850,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng was still the first to bid. This was because they had prepared almost all the spiritual stones in the clan including the land and shop deeds. Their preparations could be said to be quite adequate. Thinking about it, if he were to offer a top seventh-level sword art to the Eighth Prince who had always loved to cultivate the way of the sword, how would he be rewarded? Would he allow his clan to obtain permits to conduct profitable businesses in the Imperial City? At that time, would the Bai clan be able to become one of the top two large clans in the Yanhuang Dynasty? The clan leader Bai Wuheng¡¯s daydream was very wonderful. At the thought of the huge changes that the Bai clan might experience in the future, his entire body began to tremble with excitement In the next moment, the sound of 950,000 spiritual stones came from the VIP room next to him. It was Qi Yueheng¡¯s move. After repeatedly evaluating his and Zhao Gongming¡¯s assets, Qi Yueheng decided to give it his all. The total in the two clans¡¯ reserves was around a million spiritual stones. . If it was another ten or twenty thousand spiritual stones, even if the room called out the price of a million low-grade spiritual stones, he felt that in an auction at this price, it would not be able to change the world. If the next few clans¡¯ bids were only ten or twenty thousand different from his own, then he might still have a chance. If there were people who increased the price by hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, then there was no need for him to give his all now! If he succeeded at this price, then the last few tens of thousands of spiritual stones could be used to make other preparations. In reality, an iron fist could never teach people overnight. Thus, as soon as Qi Yueheng finished speaking, someone in the hall made a bid. ¡°1.2 million spiritual stones!¡± It was the mysterious person in the hall who had not revealed his face. Instantly, Qi Yueheng shook his head with a bitter expression and said to the communication device beside him, ¡°Clan leader Zhao, it seems that it¡¯s fated that the Astral God Sword Technique has no fate with our two clans.¡± ¡°Hahaha, this auction is an eye-opener for me, to see the wonderful things outside and the truth of this world. As for participating in the auction, I haven¡¯t thought about successfully bidding for a single item.¡± Although clan leader Zhao Gongming¡¯s words were direct, the bitterness and helplessness within could be said to be deeply felt by Qi Yueheng. Although their two great clans were both among the first to step foot in Lin City, they had always been at the bottom. They belonged to the type that was unlikely to go up the ranks. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s enough! I¡¯m already very satisfied to be able to personally participate in the auction of a seventh-level sword manual,¡± Qi Yueheng smiled and continued. The price of 1.2 million spiritual stones allowed the royal auction house to see many things. For example, in this auction house, including himself, only three forces had the ability to compete for the ownership of this sword technique. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then this old man will have to see just how good you are!¡± The elder in the royal auction slightly narrowed his eyes, clenched his fist, and smashed the sofa beside him, then shouted, ¡°1,500,000 spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Someone in the VIP room on the second floor has bid 1,500,000 spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher? ¡°Such an event will definitely leave an indelible mark in the history of the Yanhuang Dynasty. Even if you can¡¯t get the item at the end of the auction, don¡¯t you want to leave a mark in the history books as well? ¡°Everything in the world will decay and fall, but history will not. This is a story that will be passed down through the generations! ¡°A few hundred years later, when future generations looked at this piece of history, pointed to a few names and say, ¡®Look! In the past, the ancestors of my clan had left a trace of history.¡¯ Isn¡¯t this important?¡± After going through the recent auctions, Miao Qing gained some insight into the auction method. At this moment, he could be said to have completely adapted to the atmosphere on the stage. He was like a fish in water, able to easily stir up the emotions of the crowd! This was a huge improvement! However, in reality, what Miao Qing said was not important to those who could participate in the auction. Instead, it was the cultivators who had given up first in the auction hall. Their eyes were so excited that they were about to sparkle. After all, from the results, Miao Qing¡¯s words were undoubtedly effective! ¡°Haha, leave a mark in history? Then if I help the Eighth Prince carry out his plan successfully, won¡¯t this experience add to the legend of our Bai clan?¡± ¡°1,700,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng laughed heartily, estimated the number of spiritual stones in his hand, and then bid. Miao Qing, who was on the stage, planned to start counting, to confirm that the item was about to be taken. Finally, a voice came from the royal auction hall¡¯s room sounded. ¡°2,000,000 spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, in the VIP room of the royal auction hall, the old man sitting on the sofa was almost hysterical. Even though he was the general manager of the royal auction hall and was responsible for such a large amount of spiritual stones, he would still have to report it to Sikong Huan of the tax and grain department. Since the decision was in the hands of his superior, the less he spent, the better it was. The amount of two million spiritual stones was almost the limit that he could mobilize! Miao Qing saw the current situation clearly. There were only two clans left to compete. To continue exerting psychological pressure on them, Miao Qing began to count down. ¡°Two million spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher? Are you sure no one wants to own this seventh-level sword manual, Astral God Sword Technique?¡± ¡°Two million spiritual stones, going once!¡± Chapter 129 - The Auction Is Over ¡°Everyone, this is something you can do to leave a mark in history. Is there really no one else who wants to own it?¡± ¡°Raise the bid! Raise the bid! Raise the bid!¡± Those who did not mind the commotion immediately cheered! ¡°2,000,000 spiritual stones twice!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to comprehend your own unique laws from this top-tier cultivation technique and become a top expert in your respective realm?¡± Miao Qing deliberately stopped a few seconds before the last bid, to give the VIP room on the second floor another chance to bid! At this time Bai Wuheng¡¯s face flushed red, and his eyes were wide open as he looked at his son who was counting all the assets beside him. ¡°How is it? How many spiritual stones do we have left in the entire Bai clan? Don¡¯t bother about those miscellaneous matters. We have to get the Astral God Sword Technique at all costs! Just tell me how many spiritual stones we have right now!¡± Looking at his father who was almost at his limit, Bai Yanlang¡¯s heart trembled as he reported, ¡°We have 700,000 spiritual stones right now. All the house and land deeds add up to 1,400,000 spiritual stones.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not enough! It¡¯s just that this sum isn¡¯t enough to make the royal auction house give up! We should still have a lot of assets in Lin City that can be sold. Those should still be worth 500,000 spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Father! This won¡¯t do! If we take out all those spiritual stones, it will affect our clan¡¯s business. If we don¡¯t do this properly and have an explanation to the other partners, our Bai clan will probably be doomed!¡± Seeing the amount that his father was muttering, Bai Yanlang was instantly shocked! Those 500,000 spiritual stones were the Bai clan¡¯s bottom line. It was like the Bai clan¡¯s last pillar of support! If the other shops were sold it, then so be it. There was still a chance to earn it back. However, this amount of money was the official capital of the Yanhuang Divine Tide. If something went wrong, the Bai clan would suffer a devastating blow. No, this time, I need to obtain the Astral God Sword Technique and offer it to the Eighth Prince! That measly 500,000 spiritual stones were just a drop in the ocean! ¡°2,600,000 spiritual stones!¡± Bai Wuheng was like a wild beast that had been forced into a desperate situation. His eyes were bloodshot as he announced the final price. Beside him was his son who had already collapsed onto the ground. 1 ¡°2,600,000 spiritual stones! Going once!¡± ¡°2,600,000 spiritual stones! Going twice!¡± ¡°2,600,000 spiritual stones! Going thrice! Sold!¡± ¡­ Unlike before, this time, Miao Qing counted down almost three times in one breath as if he was afraid that someone would go back on their words. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the top seventh-level Astral God Sword Technique! ] 2 [ Congratulations to host for obtaining 10,000 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining a top ninth-level 10,000 Stars Sword Technique! ] In the VIP room where the royal auction house was located, the expressions of the people in it were a little unsightly at this moment. ¡°Elder, let¡¯s hurry up and report this matter to the chief officer of the tax and grain department!¡± ¡°This price has already exceeded the limit that we can afford. In addition, the news that the Bai clan has obtained a top seventh-level sword manual must also be reported back to the Imperial City as soon as possible.¡± Hearing the suggestions of the other elders of the royal auction house, the elder slowly leaned on the sofa and started to ponder. Five seconds later, the elder suddenly sat up straight and said, ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll report this matter to Lord Sikong Huan today. Let¡¯s go back now.¡± Following that, the group of people from the royal auction house left the Lin auction house through the secret door. As for the auction items, someone else would send them over later. ¡­ In the VIP room, Bai Wuheng seemed to have reached a climax. He was like a general who had fought a great battle to turn things around. He excitedly waved his fists and smashed them onto Bai Yanlang who was beside him. ¡°Did you see that? Son, we¡¯ve succeeded!¡± ¡°This time, our Bai clan is really going to turn things around! This is a seventh-level sword manual! It would be a rare sword manual if placed in the Royal Treasury in the Imperial City of the Yanhuang Dynasty! ¡°If I present it this time, I¡¯ll definitely have a greater role in the Eighth Prince¡¯s heart, and I¡¯ll be able to occupy a more important position.¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± ¡­ After the auction, Miao Qing gave a summary of the changes to the rules of the Lin auction house. Including the date of the auction, it was changed to once every three days. At the same time, it was open to everyone. The commission for the auction items was even lower. From the previous 10%, it was decreased by half to 50%. As expected, it caused a commotion in the various large clans. 1 After all, in Lin City, the rules of the various large auction houses were to take a 20% commission. Now, the Lin auction house only wanted a quarter of the other auction houses? They could not help but be pleasantly surprised! Just as the people who had come to the auction house left the venue unsatisfied, Lin Mo was already sitting in the training room, grinning from ear to ear. He had really made a lot of money from this auction! If all the auction items were sold at a high price, the system¡¯s reward would be even higher! After each auction, he would obtain some treasures! Mid sixth-level Spirit Condensing Pill, mid sixth-level Slaughter Lance, low seventh-level Shattered Star Hammer Technique, top sixth-level Empty Treasure Chest, top seventh-level Pure and Exquisite Divine Art, top sixth-level Gale God¡¯s Breath Slash, top seventh-level Spirit Barrier Pill, low sixth-level Golden-spot Saber-toothed Tiger, low ninth-level Plain-clothed Snow White, and top ninth-level 10,000 Stars Sword Technique! In addition to the items he had previously auctioned off, the current price increase was already extremely generous! Furthermore, he had a faint feeling in his heart that he would probably leave Lin City in a few days. When that time came, the strength of the enemies he would encounter would far surpass his current strength! Therefore, after the auction ended, Lin Mo had already made up his mind. In the future, the auction that he would personally pay attention to would be of the highest level! Therefore, this time, he was prepared to absorb all the life force within his ring! The God Devouring Body was the ultimate foundation of all his strength. This was something that Lin Mo had never forgotten! All the weapons were left with only the top level ones, followed by cultivation techniques. He planned to devour all the other pills and weapons! 1 Chapter 130 - Incoming Enemy After tidying up his spatial equipment, Lin Mo first took out the low fifth-level Heaven Splitter Meteor Hammer. This weapon might be able to fetch a decent price at auction, but now¡­ Lin Mo stretched out his hand and a pitch-black devouring power immediately erupted. Time and space seemed to distort as the hammer directly disappeared! At this moment, he could only feel a shocking wave of qi being emitted from within the body! His cultivation of the fifth level of the dragon transformation realm instantly started to loosen up. Next was the fifth-level Ice Lotus. The ice-blue leaves glistened in the air, reflecting an azure-blue luster. After the same process, Lin Mo¡¯s entire body trembled, and an even stronger feeling of merging could be felt within his body! Shockingly, he was already at the sixth level of the dragon transformation stage! Next was the seventh-level Dragon Transformation Pill, the sixth-level Golden Snake Inner Pill, fifth-level Profound Breath Pill, sixth-level Spirit Concentration Pill, sixth-level Wind Severing Scythe, and sixth-level Killing Spear¡­ Lin Mo emptied his spatial equipment and placed all the main weapons he planned to use in the future to the side, before devouring all the other items! Waves of aura continued to take effect. When Lin Mo stopped his movements, his cultivation had already reached the ninth-level of the dragon transformation realm! Moreover, it was three times the strength of a normal level! At this moment, Lin Mo stopped his cultivation. It was time to go out and meet Miao Qing and Yan Rong. As there might be many people coming to the Lin auction house tomorrow, it was better to give them some advice! However, to his surprise, when Lin Mo came out, he realized that it was already night. He clearly felt that only a short period had passed! This might be cultivation without time! As Lin Mo walked toward Yan Rong¡¯s room, he thought to himself that he should still be cultivating at this time! Suddenly, he felt that someone had barged into his domain through his spiritual sense! Lin Mo frowned slightly and instantly understood. So, it was the notification of the Ten Directions Formation. Someone had barged into the Lin auction house? Oh my, this person was really brave! Since there was an enemy, then Lin Mo was not in a hurry to find his two subordinates. He would first go and see who it was. It just so happened that his strength had increased. He wanted to see how his combat strength was! ¡­ At the top of the Lin auction house, the people from the Battle Immortal Sect were standing in the breeze with angry expressions. ¡°Eldest Senior Brother, what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s just charge in and kill Lin Mo.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Eldest Senior Brother! Now that I think of our Junior Brothers Lu Gan and Yu Shenkong, they died without any reason. I can¡¯t help but feel angry!¡± Second senior brother, Su Zhican, and third senior brother, Jonas, advised him one after another. ¡°Let¡¯s take action tonight! As for junior brother Lin Huaiyuan, forget about it! He¡¯s already weak. Besides, such a big accident happened at the auction today. I think he should explain to their second elder in the Lin clan. Let¡¯s not wait for him!¡± At the mention of Lin Huaiyuan, all the people floating in the air were speechless. According to what he said, he should have called their senior brothers to watch the show. However, he did not expect that he was the one who was watching the show! This was an unexpected result. After calling the other junior brothers, eldest senior brother Zhao Liren took the lead and left. Facing Lin Mo who was insignificant in their eyes, they did not even have the thought of laying out the formation from all directions! These few Battle Immortal Sect disciples planned to enter the auction house. Lin Mo could sense that their bodies were filled with killing intent! Thinking about it, it was unlikely that he would want to hover around with them for a while! ¡°Who Are you guys?¡± A lazy and impatient voice suddenly sounded from behind. Second senior brother Su Zhican was so scared that he turned around and shouted, ¡°Who is it? Where are you?¡± He did not sense anyone approaching before! ¡°You guys sneaked into the Lin auction house in the middle of the night. What are you trying to do? You even asked me who I am the moment you saw the owner. You¡¯re all thieves, right? I¡¯ll send all of you to the officials!¡± ¡°Owner? You¡¯re the owner of the Lin auction house? You¡¯re Lin Mo?¡± Second senior brother Su Zhican only felt a flash of inspiration in his mind as he immediately deduced Lin Mo¡¯s identity from the words of the person in front of him. ¡°Correct! But there¡¯s no reward although you¡¯ve guessed correctly!¡± Lin Mo did not intend to give this group of people any more chances to spout nonsense. In addition, he had relied on the Crystal Blood Mosquitoes that had hidden in their guest rooms previously and already knew that these people were the accomplices of those who invaded his Lin auction house previously! Since they were all enemies, Lin Mo did not stand in ceremony. He took a step forward and activated his fifth-level Star Shattering Dragon Fist! Golden specks of light seemed to emanate from Lin Mo¡¯s body. It was the seventh-level Golden Shield Mantra! ¡°Second Senior Brother, what are you doing there? Quickly follow us!¡± At the corner in front, another figure suddenly appeared and shouted while turning backward. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s fist had already landed on second senior brother Su Zhican¡¯s head. In an instant, a huge watermelon exploded in the air. The last thing this junior brother saw was a bloody mist flying all over the sky. ¡°Second Senior Brother! You killed Second Senior Brother! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± As he said that, that person suddenly pulled out a large blade from his back and charged over. At this time, Lin Mo had also heard the movements behind him. It seemed like the other invaders had heard what he had said and were rushing over. By controlling the wind via Wind Controlling Pearl in his arms, he made the resistance around him even smaller. With the help of the seventh-level Swimming Dragon Step, Lin Mo appeared beside the newly appeared person in a flash. Then, he sent out a simple palm strike. In that person¡¯s field of vision, Lin Mo¡¯s figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of him. With a shake of his arm, he pushed away the arm that he had sent out. At the same time, he sent out a palm strike, gently landing on his chest. Although he did not seem to have any killing intent, his pupils could not help but contract. His spiritual senses told him that this palm strike was able to take his life! ¡°Quickly dodge!¡± At this moment, he seemed to have entered a strange world. Everything seemed to be slowing down. He saw it, felt it, but he just could not dodge it! This was worse than not being able to see clearly! It was simply like being dismembered! Chapter 131 - Total Annihilation The thoughts in his head repeated many times but his body still did not listen to his commands. Lin Mo¡¯s palm descended, slapping the intruder¡¯s chest until it was heavily dented! The intruder¡¯s chest bone was twisted abnormally, and his body was sent flying backward, breaking through the wall from afar. ¡°Junior Brother!¡± It was a mournful cry. Lin Mo could sense the pain in his voice, but his gaze steeled as he thought about how these people were the same as the previous batch of intruders, wanting to kill him. Lin Mo shook his head, then walked out from the corner of the corridor. In front of him were six guys in uniform, and now they were staring at him like tigers eyeing their prey. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you looking at me? You guys aren¡¯t from my Lin auction house.What¡¯s your motive for coming here in the middle of the night?¡± Lin Mo asked the obvious question, looking at them as if he was teasing them. ¡°Motive? Of course, it¡¯s to kill you! Junior Brothers, let¡¯s attack together!¡± The leader directly took out two purple gold hammers and lightly waved them in the air. He had already taken the lead and attacked. Behind him, the other five people¡¯s gazes fell on the person who had smashed through the wall and the second senior brother Su Zhican who had his head smashed into pieces. Then, they all took out their weapons with bloodshot eyes. Lin Mo moved his legs and dodged the eldest senior brother¡¯s Purple Gold Hammer. At the same time, he leaped up with force and lightly stepped on his back. After rolling in the air, he swung his palms out. At the same time, golden specks of light surrounded his palms. Following that, the sound of two watermelons exploding could be heard. ¡°Looks like these junior brothers of yours aren¡¯t that strong. Looking at the aura on your bodies, you¡¯re all at the ninth level of the dragon transformation realm. How could you not even be able to take one of my palm attacks?¡± ¡°You dare to kill my Junior Brothers! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The fellow who used the Purple Gold Hammer had just turned his head when he saw two more junior brothers lying on the ground. His pupils constricted abruptly, and he was forced to calm down a little before he asked. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be someone from the Lin auction house, right? We have no enmity with you. Can you leave us be? Our Battle Immortal Sect will reward you greatly!¡± ¡°Oh, so you guys are from the Battle Immortal Sect.¡± Lin Mo finally understood but he had never heard of this sect before! ¡°You guys came to the Lin auction house. What are you trying to do?¡± Since the enemy had not recognized him yet, Lin Mo planned to get some information from them. ¡°Senior, you might not know, but the person in charge of the Lin auction house, Lin Mo, is really something.¡± ¡°Yes! That man is an abomination! Previously, two of our junior brothers disappeared from the Lin auction house for no reason. Later, we found out that Lin Mo had locked them up. We came to look for him for an explanation!¡± ¡°Really? I have never heard before that Lin Mo turned out to be such a bad person!¡± At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with disdain, but in his heart, he was on the verge of going crazy from laughing. This was because he had to pretend that he knew nothing! If they were to find out that the Lin Mo they were talking about was currently standing in front of them, what would they think? The person beside him let down his guard at this moment. After throwing down his weapon, he walked over to Lin Mo¡¯s side. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Mo¡¯s face suddenly revealed a savage expression as he swung his palm out from behind! In the next second, the corpse of the Battle Immortal Sect disciple also drew a parabola in the air, causing a sound of friction with the ground to ring out. ¡°I don¡¯t know what Senior means by this!¡± The hands of the person with the pair of Purple Gold Hammer were trembling. It seemed like he was very angry. ¡°Oh, he just threw his own weapon onto the ground. I¡¯ve always looked down on people who don¡¯t even cherish their own weapons. Such people don¡¯t worth their lives!¡± Lin Mo smiled and revealed two rows of teeth. In the next moment, he pushed out his palms again. Following that, other than the guy with the Purple Gold Hammer at the front, all the intruders had been dealt with. At the same time, Lin Mo unleashed the Ten Directions Formation in his body. A wave of restrictive power descended and affected his body. ¡°We wanted to teach you a good lesson, but we didn¡¯t expect you to slaughter us! Do you know what will happen if you offend our Battle Immortal Sect?¡± At this moment, eldest senior brother Zhao Liren¡¯s face was filled with malevolence. He had never expected that his fellow disciple would attack them. In the end, he was the only one left without even seeing Lin Mo! At this moment, the culprit was walking toward him with a smile on his face. This was simply an insult to him and the Battle Immortal Sect! ¡°Who exactly are you? Tell me your name!¡± Eldest senior brother Zhao Liren was just about to make a move when he suddenly realized that he could no longer control his own body! Looking at the person in front of him in disbelief, Lin Mo asked, ¡°Who am I? You came to the Lin auction house to look for me, but didn¡¯t you know what I look like in advance?¡± Lin Mo looked at him with interest, appreciating the shock in his eyes. ¡°What?! You¡¯re Lin Mo?! ¡°As expected, you¡¯re such a hateful fellow! I couldn¡¯t believe that I listened to your nonsense which resulted in the deaths of my Junior Brothers here. ¡°However, don¡¯t be too arrogant. With the power of this formation, even if you kill me, you won¡¯t be able to live for long!¡± The remaining eldest senior brother Zhao Liren, struggled with all his might a few more times. After confirming that he was unable to break free from the restrictions, he had a premonition of what would happen to him and lowered his head as if accepting his fate. ¡°Oh, why? Where did you get such confidence from? With the Ten Directions Formation, you cannot send out any message.¡± ¡°Our Junior Brother is outside the Lin auction house. He knows our plan! If we didn¡¯t show up tomorrow, he¡¯ll report it to our Battle Immortal Sect! When the Immortal Masters arrived, you wouldn¡¯t be able to escape!¡± ¡°Hahaha! Your Junior Brother is Lin Huaiyuan, right?¡± 1 Hearing that, Zhao Liren opened his eyes widely, only to see a fist rapidly expanding in his eyes! Chapter 132 - Devouring Cultivation ¡°Master, where did these guys come from?¡± Yan Rong, who was cleaning the place, asked. Beside Lin Mo was Yan Rong, who was quietly working. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. These guys must¡¯ve jumped through the window and then attacked each other here. When I arrived, they were already like this.¡± Lin Mo did not plan to tell them about the Battle Immortal Sect. ¡°Looks like I have to go pick a group of guards for the Lin auction house tomorrow. The number and frequency of night patrols should also be increased. I can¡¯t let these guys have their way too often in the future!¡± ¡°Oh right, search their belongings. Bring them to me!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched as he said. ¡°Okay!¡± ¡­ Not long after, a total of five cultivation techniques, a formation technique manual, eight weapons, and a brocade box were placed in front of Lin Mo. He took a look at those cultivation techniques. They were probably fifth-level cultivation techniques that belonged to the five elements. Lin Mo did not like them, so he handed them over to Miao Qing along with those weapons for the next auction. He opened the brocade box, and in the middle of it was a milky white pearl. At this moment, Yan Rong, who was at the side, looked over and exclaimed, ¡°Master, these people are disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect!¡± Lin Mo immediately raised his head. He did not expect Yan Rong to recognize these people. ¡®Could it be that he had already guessed that I was the one who made a move? I wonder if he saw it? That evil side will affect my image!¡¯ ¡°Master, look! There¡¯s the Battle Immortal Sect¡¯s emblem here!¡± ¡®Oh, so it¡¯s this. It gave me a fright!¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s said that the Battle Immortal Sect has always sought revenge for the smallest grievance. If you attack the younger disciples, the older ones will take revenge. Master, I think it¡¯s better to just dispose of these people¡¯s corpses!¡± ¡°These eight people seem to be disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect. Why were they fighting among themselves? It¡¯s unbelievable. If news of them here were known, it might even have an impact on our auction house¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave these matters to you. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Lin Mo tossed the milky-white pearl in his hand. He did not discover any energy aura within it, nor did he sense the charm of a divine weapon. It was as if it was just an ordinary pearl. However, Lin Mo knew that the fellow who wielded a pair of Purple Gold Hammer would not just keep a normal item. Therefore, there must be other secrets hidden within this pearl! After giving Miao Qing a few more instructions, Lin Mo finally felt at ease and returned to the cultivation room. Regarding the true level of the dragon transformation realm, as well as the five levels after the ninth-level, Lin Mo naturally understood. Adding on to the fact that he already had a mid sixth-level Barrier Breaking Pill in his backpack, there was no reason for Lin Mo to break through to the ninth-level of the dragon transformation realm at his current level. It just so happened that he also had many treasures on him. For example, the seventh-level Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier, the seventh-level Wind Controlling Pearl, the seventh-level Ice Soul Silver Light Sword, the Eight Precepts Treasure, the Divine Flame Bird Fan, and the sixth-level Empty Treasure Chest! The choice of these treasures seemed simple, but, it involved the direction of his future development. Hence, Lin Mo did not dare to neglect them. After mulling over it a few times, Lin Mo discovered that he already had a low ninth-level sword, as well as three top ninth-level sword manuals. Although there were many cultivation techniques, their power should be placed at the top of his concerns. Therefore, he should be focusing on cultivation techniques for his next cultivation. Hence, Lin Mo decided to devour all the remaining treasures and cultivate them! Was it not his ultimate goal to increase strength? Then, it was time! The pitch-black devouring light from the God Devouring Body enveloped his hand. First was the seventh-level Ice Soul Silver Light Sword. This was a treasure that had accompanied him for a period. The ice-blue light that flowed from the body of the sword rapidly converged and flowed toward the black light from the God Devouring Body. At the same time, his body was constantly emitting creaking sounds as if he could not bear the weight! At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation base was still at the normal level. It was only at the great circle level that his strength became three times that of an ordinary level cultivator! Lin Mo was still not satisfied! Hence, Lin Mo extended his hand and touched the Wind Controlling Pearl. Although it possessed the ability to control the power of the wind, it could reduce the resistance of the wind to his body when he was moving. In the end, it was not as convenient as using the great dao laws. Thus, it overlapped with his own strength. The pearl that emitted an azure light did not even last ten breaths of time in Lin Mo¡¯s hand before it turned into a pile of fine powder! Along with the Wind Controlling Pearl, Lin Mo¡¯s strength had reached the perfect stage of the ninth-level dragon transformation realm! This was six times the strength of an ordinary cultivator! Normally, a cultivator would need to maintain at this level for around ten years before reaching the next level of attainment. ¡°Not bad!¡± Lin Mo muttered in his heart. He continued devouring the rest of the treasures. The sixth-level Empty Treasure Chest also slowly disappeared from Lin Mo¡¯s hands. The seventh-level Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier, the eighth-level Divine Flame Bird Fan¡­ Perhaps their levels were high enough. If they were auctioned off, they would fetch a lot of spiritual stones. However, how could spiritual stones increase one¡¯s strength as compared to devouring treasures? After devouring the various treasures, the God Devouring Body would fuse the special characteristics of these treasures into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Therefore, Lin Mo could feel a few forces of unique aura within his body! There were the flames of the Divine Flame Bird Fan, the space-time and life force of the Empty Treasure Chest, the power of the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier, the icy aura of the Ice Soul Silver Light Sword, and the power of the gale in the Wind Controlling Pearl! It was also because of the devouring of these last few treasures that Lin Mo¡¯s strength had reached the peak of the perfect stage of the ninth-level dragon transformation realm. From then on, he possessed ten times the strength of an ordinary dragon transformation stage martial artist. Lin Mo could feel that he was still a distance away from the legendary perfect stage of the ninth-level dragon transformation realm! However, this last bit of distance was now like a carrot hanging on a donkey¡¯s neck. He could not touch it for now! Since the opportunity had yet to arrive, there was no need to force it! Following which, Lin Mo felt the surging spiritual power in his body. It had already increased his strength by tens to hundreds of times compared to before the auction. Lin Mo could only feel his heart getting excited! If the current him were to compete with the previous him before the auction, he would probably only need a single finger to defeat the previous him. A burst of loud laughter rang out. Lin Mo did not regret devouring all the treasures. ¡°Oh right, there are still a few cultivation techniques that need to be cultivated!¡± Chapter 133 - Strengthening the Body ¡°Seventh-level Clear Glaze Divine Art!¡± As the spiritual qi in his body circulated, Lin Mo¡¯s body was gradually covered with a layer of transparent, diamond-like material. It revolved around a special technique during cultivation. At the same time, he visualized a pure glaze divine art in his mind. It was clear and flawless, and his entire body was transparent. After it was formed, no matter what kind of attack was used on its body, it would not be able to find a point of force. It had the property of repelling all damage, and at the same time, it could also strengthen its defensive ability. With the comprehension of the God Devouring Body, as well as the effect of the cultivation efficiency, it did not take long before Lin Mo had completed the cultivation. Along with a series of clanging sounds that sounded like immortal music, this also symbolized that Lin Mo had officially finished cultivating the divine technique. At this moment, Lin Mo was sitting in the cultivation room, looking like an immortal! His entire body was mystical, emitting a strange light from the inside out. Pleasant sounds were constantly emitted from within his body as if the heavens and earth were celebrating him at this moment. If the cultivation of the seventh-level Clear Glaze Divine Art was already like this, then there was no need to mention the top sixth level Wind God Slash. The main idea of this cultivation technique was to condense something called the wind seed within the body of the cultivator, and then use a special technique to dissipate it. The instant such a special wind attribute seed met the spiritual energy of the outside world, it would gather a large amount of wind attribute spiritual energy, thus amplifying the might of the attack from the user by a thousand times! At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s physical strength was exceptionally easy to cultivate because he had a ball of wind attribute special spiritual energy that had been absorbed from the Wind Controlling Pearl and had been extremely condensed! As for the part that would be used to cast the spell, Lin Mo had memorized it with his super strong memory. Furthermore, the special properties of the God Devouring Body had given Lin Mo an extremely powerful control over his body. Hence, the Wind God Slash was almost instantly cultivated successfully! Finally, there was the seventh-level Shattered Star Hammer Technique. This hammer technique similarly had a total of 108 moves, and each level was stronger than the previous. After completing the entire set, it would have the effect of doubling one¡¯s strength. Lin Mo read through the Shattered Star Hammer Technique in detail, and after memorizing all the cultivation steps, he began to cultivate. Not long after, waves of fiery aura started to appear around Lin Mo¡¯s body. From time to time, it would be mixed with a few powerful attacks, and a few strands of wind attribute spiritual energy would continuously revolve around him. The Shattered Star Hammer Technique relied on the coherence between the moves, as well as the accumulation of inertia, to continuously increase the power of each move. As long as it was not interrupted mid-way, then the power would continuously increase! Hence, cultivating the 108 moves and the coherence between them was the most important part of cultivating this technique. ¡°Hahaha, this is simple!¡± Lin Mo laughed lightly. Immediately, he simulated 108 human figures in his mind. Each figure was responsible for practicing a move, and the results would be gathered on Lin Mo alone. In the beginning, these little people with spiritual power would still fail and continuously collapse. However, with the support of Lin Mo¡¯s strong spiritual power, the little people continued to collapse and continue to gather. In the end, they became much better. Not long after, one of the little people successfully completed the practice of his move. After the corresponding comprehension was transmitted into Lin Mo¡¯s mind, that little person went to help him practice other moves. Just like that, the spiritual energy minions helped one another, and the 108 moves were quickly completed. Lin Mo stood up, extremely curious about the Shattered Star Hammer Technique that could increase his strength by two times. Although he did not have the corresponding hammer type treasures, he still had ordinary weapons. He casually took out a large hammer made from ordinary pig iron and started to practice in the training room. In the blink of an eye, inconceivable movements were completed by Lin Mo. Those movements seemed to completely go against the laws of the human body¡¯s bones. In fact, they were movements that the human body could not possibly make such as turning in the opposite direction of the joints. With the support of the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo was able to complete them effortlessly! With a loud bang, Lin Mo felt the power of the final strike after the 108 moves, causing an intense air explosion sound to ring out in the training room. Feeling the power within, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes could not help but light up. Finally, it was also the cultivation technique that Lin Mo valued the most, the ninth-level 10,000 Stars Sword Technique! This was the third ninth-level sword manual that Lin Mo had obtained. However, he did not look down on this sword manual that he had obtained just because he had already grasped two sword manuals of the same level. First, he opened the manual and carefully read through it. After that, Lin Mo started to deduce this cultivation method in his mind. Be it the moves described in the manual, the route of the circulation of the spiritual qi within his body, or the comprehension of the various secrets described in the manual. He had to go through every single detail of the sword manual carefully. Finally, after a long time. Lin Mo felt that he had finally completely understood the meaning of this top level sword manual. As it turned out, the so-called 10,000 Stars Sword Technique was created after the creator obtained inspiration from observing the movements of the stars in the night sky for a long period. When this thought appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, he could not help but feel delighted in his heart. As a member of the transmigration army, his understanding of the workings of the universe¡¯s celestial bodies could not be said to be at the peak of perfection. However, he could basically confirm that it had surpassed the understanding of the people of this world! The most important thing about this cultivation technique was that the user¡¯s understanding of the heavens and earth would produce practical effects. As for the cultivation and strengthening path after that, it was to condense the power of various attributes into each sword move. After that, the different powers would be combined, and the effect of one plus one would be far greater than two! For example, when one lacked strength, one would use the clash of fire and water to obtain the power of steam, using the principles of hydraulic pressure to achieve their own goals! Although the moves of this sword manual were extremely exquisite, every move could be said to be unrestrained! However, Lin Mo felt that the most important part of this sword manual was not about this. The true evaluation of the user of this sword manual was not just based on the user¡¯s understanding of the sword dao itself! It was far beyond that. It also included the star path, fire, ice, light, lightning, darkness, five elements, formations, restrictions, and so on. Almost all of the power one could imagine could be contained within this 10,000 Stars Sword Technique. Chapter 134 - Ninth Due to the difference in the amount of power that could be added to the sword manual, the power of the sword manual itself could vary greatly from person to person. This included the cultivator¡¯s comprehension and test of the power of heaven and earth, their observation of the enemy¡¯s environment, and their choice of sword moves that they could deal with after discovering different powers. At the same time, there was a great deal of attention paid to the other powers contained within this sword move. After reading through the sword manual, Lin Mo felt that it was indeed worthy of being a top ninth-level sword manual! Not only was the power contained within it explosive, but it also contained all sorts of potential. This meant that this sword manual contained endless changes and possibilities! This was an improvement that was extremely compatible with one¡¯s body and could encourage one¡¯s growth! When Lin Mo thought of this, he could not help but feel extremely happy. Was it not just his control and understanding of different powers? With his God Devouring Body, as long as he devoured enough powerful treasures, what kind of power in this world could not be controlled by him? Hence, he was completely in control. Just like that, from the very beginning, Lin Mo had solved the two biggest obstacles in cultivating this top ninth-level sword manual! It could even be said that because of Lin Mo¡¯s memories from his previous life as well as the augmentation of his God Devouring Body in this life, the speed at which he cultivated this ninth-level cultivation technique had even surpassed ordinary sixth or seventh-level cultivation techniques! Following that, an idea flashed through Lin Mo¡¯s mind. Since this cultivation technique was able to simulate the movement of heavenly bodies, then why not bend his body into a black hole, and use the power of each sword move as the endless stars circling him? Would that not be closer to reality? Presumably, the power of the sword move should also be stronger, right? After that, Lin Mo arranged the many strands of energy in his body according to the description of the 10,000 Stars Sword Technique. However, the matter of improving the ninth-level cultivation technique was obviously a heavy task with a long way to go! Not a single slight change in a single cultivation technique could cause a huge difference in the final outcome. Furthermore, threatening the life of the experimenter was the most common! Before he had absolute confidence, Lin Mo would not joke about his own life. Crazy cries continued to ring out from within Lin Mo¡¯s body. These were all different types of energies. Under the effects of the 10,000 Stars Sword Technique sword manual, when they were arranged and combined, it would affect the outside world. As for his current strength, Lin Mo no longer had any standards to refer to! This was because he felt that every time the power within his body underwent a change, his strength would welcome a rapid expansion! It was as if every second of his was able to kill the previous him! When everything finally settled down, Lin Mo felt that he had already arrived at the perfect stage of the ninth-level of the dragon transformation realm, as if there was no room for improvement! Even his own strength was no longer as simple as ten times that of an ordinary stage! Lin Mo immediately stopped cultivating and broke out of seclusion. Not long after, Lin Mo, Miao Qing, and the Xu Feng Regiment¡¯s commander, Xu Youqing sat in a reception room. ¡°Xu Youqing, are you sure you want to hand these treasures over to our Lin auction house?¡± Lin Mo looked at a wooden box that had already been opened in front of him. Within it, there were five pearl-like objects that each had a different faint glow. These were the demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. Moreover, from the energy fluctuations, they were all top sixth-level! Two days had already passed since the last auction ended. This also meant that the Lin auction house would hold another auction the day after tomorrow. The Xu Feng¡¯s Regiment¡¯s commander, Xu Youqing, had taken a detour from the Dark Forest on his way back after the last auction to avoid possible enemies and pursuers. After narrowly passing the test, he finally obtained these five demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. As everyone knew, the value of demonic beast¡¯s inner cores was high. Moreover, their internal vital energy was extremely rich. They were necessary items for refining pills and making talismans and other precious treasures. Although the inner core contained an extremely rich qi, it could not be used to absorb and cultivate. This was because the inner core contained a wild and violent nature. It was something that humans¡¯ weak meridians could not withstand. After struggling for a while, the Xu Feng¡¯s Regiment commander, Xu Youqing decided to hand these items over to Lin Mo and the Lin auction house in exchange for spiritual stones with even more gentle spirit qi! ¡°Yes, Lin Mo! I believe in you! I really like the items I obtained from the last auction. It was the most enjoyable auction I¡¯ve had in recent years.¡± Looking at Xu Youqing¡¯s trusting gaze, Lin Mo nodded and said, ¡°Alright, since you trust our Lin auction house, then I definitely won¡¯t let you down! Miao Qing, put away these demonic beast¡¯s inner cores and arrange for the next auction.¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Miao Qing then kept the box of demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. ¡°Alright, since the matter is over, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After the Xu Feng¡¯s Regiment¡¯s commander, Xu Youqing left, Lin Mo called out to Miao Qing who was about to leave. ¡°Miao Qing, how much did we gain from the last auction?¡± Even though he knew that they were all spiritual stones, and most of them had to be returned to the clients who had placed them in the auction, he still had to give more than half to the Lin clan. Then, the rest could only fall into his hands. However, at the end of the last auction, the shocking figure of over a million spiritual stones still made Lin Mo look forward to how many much he would be able to obtain. ¡°Master, after the last auction, the final amount that we obtained was about 1.2 million spiritual stones. Among them, the Bai clan leader, Bai Wuheng, had contributed a large amount of land and shop deeds, among other things. All of these things added up together were similarly worth quite a lot!¡± Miao Qing answered respectfully. ¡°Not bad, not bad. Then how many people came to the Lin auction house for the commission auction these two days?¡± ¡°Master, these two days, quite a number of people came to the Lin auction house to commission the auction. Moreover, most of them were from the various mercenary groups in Lin City. Moreover, the treasures they entrusted were of a high level. ¡°It¡¯s like when we specially stored a batch of demonic beast¡¯s inner cores before, and then suddenly released them all. ¡°So far, we¡¯ve received 23 sixth-level demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, over 10 demon beast bones, dozens of other precious parts of demon beasts, and some other fourth-level treasures.¡± ¡°Good! You¡¯ve arranged all these things. It seems that those guys who wanted to scheme against me didn¡¯t succeed this time. I wonder how Lin Huaiyuan is doing now¡­¡± Chapter 135 - The Auction Begins A dangerous look flashed across Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. He waved his hand and told Miao Qing to go out first, leaving him alone to ponder silently. Yan Rong had also started to recruit people to strengthen the security of the Lin auction house. Lin Mo was also monitoring the overall movements of all the major clans in Lin City through the Crystal Blood Mosquitoes distributed throughout the city. ¡°Bai Wuheng of the Bai clan has gone to the Lin clan to look for the second elder again. Lin Huaiyuan has been staying in the room of the second elder for one night. Additionally, screams could be heard from time to time¡­¡± ¡°No one has been to that secret inn of the Battle Immortal Sect¡­¡± ¡°The elders of the royal auction house have already sent the news of Lin City through the treasures¡­¡± ¡°The time for the martial arts conference to be held is getting closer¡­¡± ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll wait here and see what tricks you guys can play!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to wait for the next auction to see if there are any treasures that can further increase my strength to the legendary Red Gold realm!¡± ¡°After that, I¡¯ll use Barrier Breaking Pills. At that time, my strength will also improve by leaps and bounds!¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, in the room of the second elder of Lin clan, Lin Huaiyuan was kneeling on the ground with blood all over his body. The second elder and Bai Wuheng, the clan leader of Bai clan, were sitting on their chairs respectively with gloomy looks. ¡°Second elder! Tell me, what do you plan to do next?¡± Bai Wuheng broke the silence first and asked. The second elder became angry the moment Bai Wuheng asked the question! Lin Huaiyuan said that the plan was flawless. However, when it was implemented, he found it a joke. ¡°Father, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on either. Our plan has no loopholes. I don¡¯t know where Lin Mo found so many high-level auction items!¡± ¡°You spent almost all of my spiritual stones in exchange for such a devastating outcome. Are you a spy sent by Lin Mo?¡± The second elder angrily threw the cup in his hand to the side of Lin Huaiyuan who was kneeling on the ground. ¡°Father! Master Bai! Don¡¯t worry, I have another plan. It will definitely work!¡± At this moment, Lin Huaiyuan was as desperate as a cornered dog. ¡°Hehe, what do you have in mind? Tell me.¡± Bai Wuheng did not care much about it. Instead, he asked in a low voice. ¡°We can contact my master directly. Furthermore, there are quite a few senior brothers of our Battle Immortal Sect in Lin City right now! I can get them to help. Since we can¡¯t defeat Lin Mo with our schemes, we might as well be more direct! ¡°Hand over all of our auction items to the other auction houses as soon as possible and exchange them for spiritual stones. Then, hand them over to my master and let him help us kill Lin Mo directly! ¡°When the time comes, in the entire Lin clan, is there anyone more suitable to control the Lin clan¡¯s auction house than you, Father?¡± ¡°That¡­ makes sense! Second elder, what do you think?¡± Bai Wuheng¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the second elder beside him as he asked. The room was silent for a moment before the second elder finally spoke. ¡°Fine, this is your last chance. If you still can¡¯t do it, don¡¯t blame me for being merciless!¡± The second elder narrowed his eyes as he said with a dangerous tone. ¡­ Lin Huaiyuan knew that his senior brothers had already prepared to massacre the Lin auction house that night before he returned to the Lin clan. It had been so long since he reached home. They must have already succeeded. The people outside were almost driven mad with anxiety, right? In this way, he could give his father a surprise. After all, it was the senior brothers of the Battle Immortal Sect who did it. When the time came, it would be reasonable for him to give these spiritual stones to them! However, out of his expectation, all the members of the Lin clan on the way looked happy. He could not help but have a bad feeling. Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly rushed to the secret inn to find out what happened. In the end, there was naturally only an empty room waiting for him! His body trembled and he scanned his surroundings coldly. In the end, he did not discover the secret signal left behind by his senior brothers. At this moment, he was already at a loss. Previously, the two senior brothers had gone to the Lin auction house like this. Now, the other senior brothers had all disappeared! It seemed that this Lin auction house definitely had some secrets! This matter was not something that he could solve. It was better to call master! After making up his mind, Lin Huaiyuan did not leave the room. He took out a mirror from his pocket and poured his spiritual energy into it. Ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror. After a short while, the ripples disappeared and a figure in a Taoist robe appeared. ¡°It¡¯s Lin Huaiyuan, my disciple. Why did you contact me at this moment? ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that you have a rich life in the human world? Why didn¡¯t you enjoy it now? Why did you contact me?¡± This figure had a thin face and a gloomy face. However, he was unexpectedly kind. ¡°Master! Something bad has happened. I can¡¯t find my Senior Brothers anymore! Based on their last actions, I¡¯m afraid that they¡¯ve been killed!¡± As Lin Huaiyuan said, he kneeled on the ground in front of the mirror. ¡°What? What happened? Tell me everything!¡± ¡­ At this moment, in an advanced room of the royal auction house, the elder had also sent out the information about the seventh-level sword manual in Lin City! Soon, he received a reply! After taking a glance at it, everyone¡¯s facial expression changed greatly. ¡­ After Bai Wuheng left the room of the second elder of the Lin clan, his face could not help but be filled with a smile. It was the joy of achieving his long-cherished wish. On the day that the seventh-level sword manual was obtained, he had already contacted the Eighth Prince of the Imperial City and obtained a promise. In a few days, an envoy would personally come to Lin City and take the sword manual away. He could also follow the envoy to the Imperial City! ¡­ It had been three days since the last auction. Today, the Lin auction house was still bustling with noise and excitement. Although the Lin auction house had urgently expanded the area of the surrounding auction houses, it was obviously not of much use! This was because this place was still packed with people from Lin City! Due to the successful auction previously, this time, all the clan leaders in Lin City brought their entire wealth and rushed over! Chapter 136 - Demonic Beasts Inner Cores In the second-floor VIP room of the Lin auction house, Zhao Gongming¡¯s face glowed. He learned in advance through the VIP card, this auction after the auction catalog, for this auction of unprecedented high expectations! With this VIP card, he can get a lower auction commission from the Lin auction house to borrow low-grade spiritual stones in an emergency! Others may not be able to use the demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, especially high-quality Demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, but he could! These demonic beast¡¯s inner cores can be used for the production of runes. In some parts of the production of runes itself, the requirements for vitality stability were not very high. Even some of the extreme rune production, but also a special request to enhance the level of damage! For example, the Explosion Talisman! Therefore, in his opinion, this auction seemed to be specially organized for him, Zhao Gongming! As for Bai Wuheng and Qi Yueheng, although they looked forward to it, their respective areas of expertise required a certain amount of demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, so they were definitely not as open-minded as him. They wanted as many as they could get. At this time, in the temporary widening of the first-floor auction hall, although the people do not know the specific auction catalog, they also looked forward to the auction. At this time, in Lin City¡¯s several other major auction houses¡­ Although they had also acquired a large number of auctioneers at the last minute and had sent out notices and invitations to their customers. The scene was usually filled with people, so they were surprised that they were actually facing an empty space! Only one of the auctioneers was left, who had a sad face while noticing his bosses. ¡­ ¡°Welcome to the Lin auction house again!¡± ¡°This auction will be the same as last time, with ten items being auctioned. Okay, without further ado, let¡¯s take a look at the first item!¡± ¡°Five upper third tier demonic beast¡¯s inner cores with wood attributes! This time, the five demonic beast¡¯s inner cores will be auctioned at the same time. The starting price will be 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increase must be at least 500 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Although the level of these five demonic beast¡¯s inner cores is relatively low, it was a wide range of applications, so a lot of families still need it. ¡°What¡¯s more, the third-level demonic beast¡¯s inner core would only be auctioned separately at higher prices if it was placed in other auction houses. However, it was a one-off auction in the Lin auction house. It was obvious that the Lin auction house is very rich! 5,500 low-grade spiritual stones! 6,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 6,500 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ ¡°7,500 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± In the VIP room on the second floor, Zhao Gongming made an offer. No one on the scene continued to increase the price, because this itself was already the value of these demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. It would not be worth it if they went any higher. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning five third-tier wood attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores! ] [ Congratulations to the host for 300 times the return!] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an upper sixth-tier wood attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner core! ] ¡­ ¡°Next for the second item of the auction, seven third-tier water attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores!¡± ¡°The starting price for the auction is 7,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each additional price shall not be less than 500 spiritual stones!¡± These were third-tier demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, so Miao Qing just opened one wooden box and put it in front of his chest to display it. On the other hand, the people at the scene looked at the round and pleasing shape of the inner pill, the faint fluorescence that accompanied it, and the faint aura of water attribute spiritual force. Their bodies trembled slightly. Everyone present was certain about the authenticity of these demonic beast¡¯s inner cores! Water attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores were more widely used in the human world due to their gentle spiritual power. For example, some bath centers used them to make pills. At this time, there are more people auctioning in the lobby on the first floor. 7,500 low-grade spiritual stones! 8,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 8,500 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ ¡°The water attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores can neutralize other low-grade spiritual forces in the process of making talismans. Moreover, they have a wide range of applications. The Zhao family must take down these water attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores!¡± ¡°10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± It seems that others sensed Zhao Gongming¡¯s determination to win, but no one fought with him. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning seven third-tier water attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores! ] [Congratulations on the 700 times return!] [Congratulations, the host has obtained a level 6 demonic beast¡¯s inner core!] ¡­ ¡°Oh, Zhao Gongming, you¡¯re very generous today! It looks like you¡¯re here to sweep the goods!¡± Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming good relationship. At that moment, Zhao Gongming picked up the communication device and teased. ¡°Hahaha, it¡¯s because these things are so important to the Zhao family! We won¡¯t refuse anything that comes our way!¡± ¡°I know that you, Qi Yueheng, are a little bit of a burden. Everything you need to forge weapons has nothing to do with the demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. Don¡¯t mock me now, okay?¡± Zhao Gongming also said to Qi Yueheng with slight helplessness. Really! Sometimes, it was not good for the relationship between the clan leaders to be too good. Others could guess whatever they were thinking, and would even want to ridicule them! It is very uncomfortable! ¡®Hehe, these are just appetizers. I didn¡¯t expect Zhao Gongming to be so keen on these things!¡¯ ¡®You Zhao family deserves to be just average in the Lin City!¡¯ Bai Wuheng thought in his heart. ¡®The eighth prince¡¯s emissary will be here soon, and then I will be a member of the Imperial City. We won¡¯t be on the same battlefield anymore!¡± ¡®When I have secured the Bai family¡¯s foothold in Imperial City and come back, I will make it a lifetime¡¯s honor for you to lick the soles of my shoes!¡¯ ¡®No! Can I use the eighth prince¡¯s emissary to severely suppress Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming?¡¯ 1 ¡°¡®These two families have no strength, but they are jumping up and down all day long, which makes me very upset!¡¯ Bai Wuheng silently thought in his heart, but there was an evil smile on his face. ¡­ ¡°Next, the auction for the third item, five metal attribute upper fourth-tier demonic beast¡¯s inner core!¡± ¡°The starting price for the auction is 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each additional price shall not be less than 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, it was not that the Lin auction house ran out of third-tier demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, but the remaining ones were scattered with various attributes. They were not qualified to be auctioned off, so they were saved for later when more inner cores with the same attributes were available. As for the other treasures, the reasons are pretty much the same. Lin Mo was thinking about whether to hold a small auction every day and a big auction every three days in the future. He wanted to auction off those odds and ends as soon as possible. Chapter 137 - A Set of Five Elements Secret Manuals These metal attribute tier 4 demonic beast¡¯s inner cores were mainly commissioned by various large mercenary groups, and similarly used the similar binding auction method. ¡°Hehe, Zhao Gongming, at this time, don¡¯t fight with me for these metal attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. I, Qi Yueheng, have a huge demand for metal attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t compete with you for the previous demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, so let me have it!¡± Qi Yueheng was good at forging, so it was not surprising that he had a demand for the metal attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner core. Therefore, he quickly contacted Patriarch Zhao Gongming. He knew that if he did not speak now, with Zhao Gongming¡¯s personality, he would definitely auction off all these items. After all, the Zhao family¡¯s talismans had all sorts of attributes. Moreover, as the head of the Zhao family, he was definitely very good at making talismans with all sorts of attributes. ¡°Haha, that won¡¯t do. At most, I¡¯ll auction off two of them for you!¡± Zhao Gongming laughed loudly and said. ¡°Then since you¡¯re not willing to give them up, let¡¯s just compete directly. When the time comes, don¡¯t let the other families benefit for nothing!¡± Qi Yueheng said with a hint. Obviously, the person he was hinting at was Bai Wuheng! ¡°Alright, alright. Don¡¯t get into an argument over this and affect our relationship. After the auction is over, we¡¯ll split the five demonic beast¡¯s inner cores equally!¡± ¡°I can use tier 3 demonic beast¡¯s inner cores to replace one tier 4 one. When the time comes, I¡¯ll hand it over to you!¡± Seeing that Qi Yueheng looked like he could not afford it, Zhao Gongming quickly said, ¡°Mmhm, that¡¯s more like it!¡± Qi Yueheng reluctantly agreed to Zhao Gongming¡¯s proposal. 12,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 13,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 14,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ The bidding was still going on in the hall on the first floor. At this time, the two patriarchs on the second floor had reached an agreement, and it was time for Patriarch Zhao Gongming to make a bid. ¡°18,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°19,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± However, this time, there was actually someone bidding against him in the auction hall below! Patriarch Zhao Gongminglooked down with some surprise, but surprisingly, he could not find the other party, so he could only continue to raise the bid. ¡°20,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The person below the stage obviously did not have the intention to give up the competition, so he continued to say. ¡°21,000 low-grade spiritual stones¡± ¡°Hey, where did this guy come from? Why does it seem like I¡¯ve never seen him before?¡± Zhao Gongming stared at the figure below the stage. It was a white-haired old man. However, he did not hesitate. The current price was still within his acceptable range. However, he believed that the old man definitely would not be able to accept such a high price. ¡°23,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± As expected, following his last bid, there was no one else bidding in the hall downstairs. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off five tier 4 high-grade metal attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,800 times the rebate! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 tier 7 mid-grade metal attribute demonic beast inner core! ] ¡­ ¡°Hey, the price this time is a little too high!¡± Zhao Gongming spoke to Qi Yueheng through the communication device. ¡°Hahahaha, if you don¡¯t want it, then just transfer these metal attribute demonic beast¡¯s inner cores to me. It¡¯s only 23,000 low-grade spiritual stones, I, Qi Yueheng, can still afford it.¡± When Qi Yueheng heard Zhao Gongming¡¯s ridicule, he immediately said as if he was joking. ¡°What the f*ck are you thinking?! If you, Qi Yueheng, can take it out, then can¡¯t I, Zhao Gongming, take it out? I¡¯ll give you half at most!¡± Zhao Gongming disdainfully replied Qi Yueheng. ¡°Seriously! You¡¯re not falling for it?¡± After Qi Yueheng hung up the communication device, he ridiculed. ¡­ ¡°Alright, let¡¯s proceed to the fourth item in this auction.¡± ¡°A set of five tier 5 mid-grade Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals.¡± Yes, these were the five cultivation technique manuals that Lin Mo had found from the eight people who had entered the Lin family¡¯s auction house during the night of the War Immortal Sect. He did not expect that they would each cultivate a Five Element Cultivation Technique Manual. At that time, because Lin Mo knew that after the auction, the system would return the profits to him, and it would definitely be a higher grade cultivation technique manual, he did not choose to learn it. The starting price of these five elements secret manuals was 50,000 low-grade spirit stones! Each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Standing on the stage, Miao Qing displayed the 5 Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals to the crowd and said. ¡°Oh my God! This is actually a complete set of Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals! I never thought that there would be such a good thing at this time!¡± ¡°Tier 5 secret manuals! This is a rare and precious treasure in the outside world. I didn¡¯t expect to see a complete set in the Lin auction house!¡± ¡°A single tier 5 secret manual is enough to forge a large family. I didn¡¯t expect the Lin family to actually take out five at once!¡± ¡°But if I only wanted one of the secret manuals, wouldn¡¯t that be impossible? Now, only five secret manuals can be auctioned at the same time?¡± ¡°That¡¯s your business! Whoasked you to not have enough spiritual stones?¡± The people around him immediately laughed at him, but this was also the truth. Many people could not endure the small hardships that life gave them, so they often could not cultivate diligently or accumulate spirit stones in their free time. Instead, they chose to relax in taverns, brothels, and other places of entertainment and even called it a combination of work and rest. The starting price of 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones was not high. If these ordinary cultivators were more diligent, it was not like they could not take it out. However, at this time, most people could only sigh helplessly. Then, they unwillingly withdrew from the auction, looking for all sorts of reasons to extinguish the flame in their hearts that they might have once had. They would only regret it when they truly needed it. However, at this moment, they would only realize that it was already too late! Such a complete set of Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals was naturally not only moved by the people in the auction hall on the first floor. Even the heads of the several great clans in the auction VIP rooms on the second floor were also moved! This naturally included the many elders of the royal auction house! ¡°This¡­ this set of tier 5 Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals. What should we do now?¡± An elder of the royal auction house looked at the elder sitting in the middle and asked. ¡°What else can we do? I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with the Lin family recently, to actually take out such high-level cultivation techniques to auction off one after another!¡± ¡°But since they don¡¯t want it, then this is our chance!¡± ¡°Although there are quite a number of tier 5 cultivation techniques circulating outside, and there are other five elements cultivation technique manuals in the imperial family of the Yanhuang dynasty, I see that the names of these five cultivation techniques actually don¡¯t exist in the imperial palace!¡± Chapter 138 - Intense Bidding! ¡°Therefore, if we can collect a new set and hand it over to Lord Si Konghuan of the tax and grain department, I believe we will be able to obtain quite a number of rewards!¡± The words of the elders naturally obtained the unanimous agreement of the other elders present. They had already been extremely disappointed that they had not obtained that top-grade tier 7 sword manual for the Yanhuang Divine Empire at the auction, causing the lord in the palace to be very unhappy. If they could use a complete set of five elements cultivation techniques to make up for it, Lord Si Konghuan might be in a better mood. ¡°Zhao Gongming, it seems that we will be bidding for it together again. These are five tier 5 five elements cultivation techniques, and there are no restrictions on cultivation techniques. As long as it is bought off, our two great clans will be able to comprehend each other.¡± ¡°Do you have anything to say?¡± Qi Yueheng picked up his communication device and said to Zhao Gongming in the next room. ¡°Eh, why are we going to have joint bidding? Didn¡¯t we already form an alliance before? When did we disband? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡± Zhao Gongming was naturally moved, but his EQ was higher. Since he asked such a question, Qi Yueheng was naturally very happy. When he understood Zhao Gongming¡¯s meaning, he was also a bit happy. He actually had the thought that there was indeed someone in this world who understood him! Only Bai Wuheng¡¯s expression was a little uncertain at this moment. In the last auction, the ultimate tier 7 sword manual that was auctioned had almost emptied out the entire Bai family! At this moment, other than having obtained the eighth prince¡¯s approval and the representative of the eighth prince who was rushing over when Miao Qing arrived, he was left with the Bai family¡¯s residence and other rare contracts that could not be moved or that were difficult to sell! It would be very difficult for him to participate in the auction at that moment. However, no matter how difficult it was, he had to continue participating! Since he had already made up his mind to get on the eighth prince¡¯s boat, after the representative of the eighth prince arrived in Lin City, he would follow the representative to the imperial capital of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. At that time, his Bai family would definitely follow him to the imperial capital! With that thought in mind, it seemed that the Bai family¡¯s businesses in Lin City did not matter anymore! As long as the members of the Bai family were still intact, the business partners were still there, and the new rewards given by the eighth prince were still there. He believed that as long as he clung to the eighth prince, then even if he lost these things, it would not take long for these shops, houses, and spiritual stones to return to his hands. Finally, Bai Wuheng made up his mind. He slapped the armrest of the sofa hard and looked through the window fiercely at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage. ¡°100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± This time, the people of the royal auction house had learned their lesson. They did not increase the price bit by bit. Instead, they doubled the price from the beginning to stop the enthusiasm of the others. However, he had underestimated the determination of the elders of the other clans, as well as the determination of the other clan leaders in Lin City to lead their clans to change the current situation! 1.2 million low-grade spiritual stones! 1.3 million low-grade spiritual stones! 1.4 million low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ One bid after another came from the auction hall. The abnormal enthusiasm of the people and the auction price caused the expressions of the people of the royal auction house to change. As if they had recalled some bad memories, at this moment, an elder beside the elder of the royal auction house stepped forward and said. ¡°Elder! The normal price of this tier 5 five elements manual should be around 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Why don¡¯t we just raise the price to this number the next time? Don¡¯t think about taking advantage of loopholes!¡± ¡°At this time, it seems that the other clans in Lin City are already determined to fight with their lives on the line. If we hesitate any longer, it might make our royal auction house and everyone present lose their value in Lord Si Konghuan¡¯s eyes!¡± ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it then!¡± The struggle in the elder¡¯s eyes did not last long before it disappeared without a trace. What was left was only decisiveness and ruthlessness. ¡­ Looking at the rapidly rising auction price, Bai Wuheng¡¯s expression became worse and worse. He remembered that the other clans in Lin City should not have so much wealth! It seemed that the appearance of the last auction had completely stimulated the other clan leaders in Lin City! They had come to participate in the auction with the determination to kill themselves and die! In other words, the patriarchs of the other clans in Lin City must have collected a large number of spiritual stones during this period of time. Therefore, this was actually the time for the Bai clan to act ruthlessly and buy the properties of the other clans at a low price. When the time came, they could sell them back and make a huge profit! 1 However, the crux of the problem was that the Bai clan was also frantically collecting raw stones. Moreover, it was like a bottomless pit, and they needed more and more! For a qualified businessman, it was his instinct to sense that there was a chance to make money. However, it was his natural impulse to participate in it. At the moment, he clearly saw an excellent opportunity that could even allow the Bai clan to overturn the entire Lin City. However, because of the actual situation, he could not carry out his own thoughts. This made Bai Wuheng¡¯s mood very complicated. ¡°200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± After hesitating for a long time, Bai Wuheng still decisively made his bid. He was like a venomous snake hiding in the grass. When he saw an opportunity, he did not hesitate to make his move! Before making his move, he might have some hesitation and doubts. However, when he decided that this was what he was going to do next, he would quickly remove all the distracting thoughts in his heart. All that was left in his eyes was the target. Then this time, his viper attack was destined to have no result! Right behind him was the royal auction house that had already made up its mind! ¡°500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± After the lesson from the last auction, they no longer hesitated, but directly pulled the price up to the price that this set of secret manuals should be able to obtain in the imperial city! ¡°What? What is wrong with the royal auction house? Why did they suddenly raise the price by 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones?¡± In the VIP room, Bai Wuheng¡¯s eyeballs almost popped out! No matter how much he racked his brains, he still could not figure it out. The most fundamental reason was that the elders of the royal auction house were about to complete their term of office! They were about to return to the imperial capital of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. At this moment, they only wanted to try their best to win the high-ranking officers¡¯ happiness during the last bit of their term of office. This group of people even did not hesitate to use the market price to purchase this auction item! As the saying goes, ¡°you bid, I bid, whoever wins this battle, will be able to get what they want!¡± Due to the royal auction house¡¯s sudden doubling of the price, everyone present looked at the VIP room upstairs in shock. However, they could not see the faces of the bidders. Chapter 139 - Private Service? Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming were quite calm at this moment because the total amount of spiritual stones in their two clans was more than a million! In addition, they had already seen the catalog of the auctioned items, so they did not really care about the auctioned items after the five elements cultivation method. Since they only needed this one item, they could accept this price. ¡°550,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± It was Qi Yueheng who sent out the bidding price, and Zhao Gongming was hiding behind the scenes. ¡°Good heavens, who is this?¡± ¡°I thought 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones was the highest price for these five-element cultivation techniques. I did not expect to be slapped in the face by reality so quickly.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t deserve this. As expected of the big family of Lin City who sits in the VIP room on the second floor. The price of 500,000 to 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones is so high, yet they actually took it out without even blinking?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. When can I have such confidence and strength? Then I¡¯ll be satisfied with just sitting in the VIP room on the second floor for once in my life.¡± ¡°Then there must be high-quality fruit drinks in the auction room, right? Unlike the first floor, which only has water and steamed buns!¡± ¡°Then you don¡¯t know, right? I heard from a boss before that there are often maids in the VIP room who will take the initiative to help you get more fruits and vegetables. When you need them, they can even provide you with some private services!¡± ¡°Oh, I wonder if this private service you¡¯re talking about is serious?¡± ¡°On the auction stage, Miao Qing was also looking at the second floor in shock. The shock from the royal auction house was not over yet. I didn¡¯t expect Qi Yueheng to give him such a big surprise again!¡± Ever since the last auction, he felt that the people from the royal auction house seemed to have changed their faces this day. At the last auction, they only had bid a different price when the last tier 7 sword manual appeared. This time, they even wanted to meddle with a tier 5 cultivation technique? However, Miao Qing still reacted immediately. He placed the five cultivation technique manuals on the tray of the handmaiden beside him and asked loudly to everyone present. ¡°550,000 low-grade spiritual stones going once!¡± ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to bid? Seize the opportunity! This is a complete set of five-element cultivation techniques!¡± ¡°Regardless of who it is, regardless of whether they want to cultivate all of it, or want to form a formation to practice the joint attack technique, such a set of cultivation techniques that is of the same level and complements each other is definitely the best choice!¡± ¡°Think of your descendants, think of your parents and brothers. Since they are able to practice such high-level techniques, they can produce all kinds of wonderful effects by injecting vitality into each other even when they are in danger! ¡± ¡°The five elements are mutually reinforcing and counteracting each other. Think about it. When the enemy is chasing you, you are obviously running out of physical strength and spiritual energy. Then you meet a practitioner of the five elements that is mutually reinforcing and counteracting each other.¡± ¡°At this time, as long as you infuse a stream of spiritual qi into your body, wouldn¡¯t you be able to stimulate more of your own spiritual qi and catch the enemy off guard?¡± However, this time, when Qi Yueheng originally thought that this price was enough to obtain this set of cultivation techniques, he did not expect that the royal auction house would actually make another bid! ¡°600,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Clan Leader Zhao Gongming, based on your opinion, should we continue to advance with great success, or should we just call it quits?¡± Qi Yueheng asked through his communication device. At this moment, Zhao Gongming naturally understood that Qi Yueheng was asking him if he wanted to continue bidding. ¡°Hahaha, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!¡± ¡°Our two great clans can only rely on our own cultivation techniques to make a living, and these five-element cultivation techniques are the keys that can send us to a higher dimension. How can we give up so easily?¡± Zhao Gongming thought for a moment and said. ¡°Good! Zhao Gongming! I was waiting for you to say that!¡± Qi Yueheng¡¯s reply was still very decisive. ¡°700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Damn it! This Qi family is simply courting death! What status do they have? What status do we have? They can¡¯t even see the height of our own family, yet they still want to compete with us?¡± ¡°Since you want these five cultivation techniques, I don¡¯t want to give them to you! Originally, I only wanted to be on equal terms with you, but I didn¡¯t expect you to actually look down on me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make you give up on this idea today!¡± ¡°1 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this time, the elders in the royal auction house also had vicious expressions on their faces. They did not want to continue arguing, so they simply raised the price by another 300,000 low-grade spirit stones! ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°Is this some legendary person?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve opened my eyes, I¡¯ve finally opened my eyes today!¡± ¡°So this is the truth of this world? Do they think they¡¯re shouting out air? They¡¯re adding three to five hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones at once?¡± ¡°Poor us, we might not be able to earn a hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones in our entire lives.¡± ¡°This might be the difference between the rich and the poor!¡± The other participants in the hall on the first floor were all discussing in shock. Looking at the VIP room on the second floor not far above their heads, they had never felt that the distance between them and that place was as far as it was now! ¡°1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Is there anyone else who would like to bid?¡± Actually, Miao Qing was also very shocked, but his position did not allow him to have so many reactions! Therefore, he could only choose to ask on the stage, even though he knew that this price was basically the limit of this auction item. Any higher and it would be impossible! One million low-grade spiritual stones going once! One million low-grade spiritual stones going twice! One million low-grade spiritual stones going thrice! Sold! ¡­ [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning five tier 5 Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000 times rebate! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a tier 7 top-grade cultivation technique, Five Elements Great Evasive Technique! ] Looking at Miao Qing¡¯s actions on the stage, Lin Mo listened to the system¡¯s notification below the stage, and his heart was filled with great satisfaction! This feeling of being able to see one¡¯s foundation and strength increase by several folds just by sitting down was simply too fascinating! ¡°Damn it, we actually failed the auction this time! Zhao Gongming!¡± Qi Yueheng smiled wryly and said helplessly to Zhao Gongming through the communication device. ¡°Sigh, this is also the inevitable outcome! It¡¯s our fault for not carrying enough spiritual stones! It¡¯s our clan¡¯s strength that isn¡¯t strong enough!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for the next item. If the auction is successful, our two clans can also comprehend it together.¡± Zhao Gongming replied to him in the same manner. ¡°Since things have come to this, we can only let it be.¡± ¡­ Chapter 140 - Purple Bai Wuhen was also in his own auction room, looking at the royal auction house¡¯s VIP Room in shock. He found it hard to believe. Although he had previously placed a bid and also wanted to auction this Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals, the speed of the price increase this time was too fast! Moreover, he did not have that many spiritual stones himself. He had thought that the royal auction house¡¯s bid of 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones was already the limit. He had not expected that based on the final transaction price, it was only half of the bid at that time? This made Bai Wuhen sigh with emotion. There were really many wealthy families and forces in Forest City. At the same time, he could not help but shake his head, cutting off the idea of wanting to offer these five cultivation techniques to the eighth prince. Miao Qing once again went up to the stage to take a look at the auction venue and immediately said, ¡°The next auction item for this auction is the fifth item!¡± ¡°A pair of high-grade tier 5 weapons, the Purple-Gold Hammers!¡± At the same time, two auction venue employees each carried a pumpkin-sized copper-headed giant hammer onto the stage. After placing it on the ground, two muffled bangs were heard. Miao Qing pointed to the ground of this pair of Purple-Gold Hammers said. ¡°This pair of Purple-Gold Hammers are made of purple-gold glazed copper, each weighing 200 catty!¡± ¡°They¡¯re most suitable for close combat! The starting auction price is 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones, each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Until this time, Lin Mo just thought that if such a pair of Purple-Gold Hammers were put in the last auction to go with the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique to sell, how good the effect will be? Following which, Lin Mo took a look at the VIP room on the second floor of the auction venue. Fortunately, Qi Yueheng, who had previously bought off the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique, was still there. It was likely that they would be tempted by the Purple-gold Hammers, right? However, at this moment, in the VIP room of the Qi family, Qi Yueheng shook his head as he looked at the pair of Purple-gold Hammers on the stage. ¡°The huge hammers made of purple-gold glazed copper are indeed not bad. As a weapon of a cultivator, they are extremely qualified. However, it¡¯s a pity that they are not suitable for me, Qi Yueheng.¡± ¡°Every member of our Qi family has a rule that the weapon must be made by their own hands. Even the hammer used to hammer the iron sheet must be made by themselves!¡± ¡°If this were any other person, they would probably be eager to buy these Purple-gold Hammers!¡± As expected, due to their confidence in the quantity and quality of their own products, the people from the royal auction house only glanced at the pair of pPurple-gold Hammers placed by Miao Qing¡¯s feet on the stage. Then, they went silent. They were planning to wait and see first. No one would complain that a tier 5 weapon was not powerful enough, or that they had too many. However, they were not in a hurry to bid for something that they did not need. When the auction was about to fail, or the price was worth it in their hearts, they would naturally bid for it. As for Zhao Gongming, they did not need such a weapon. When using runes to fight, would it not be unpleasant to throw out a piece of yellow paper when they saw an enemy, and then the enemy would be directly blown to death? Was that not awesome? Why did they need to use such an exaggerated weapon to fight? This did not match their actual needs, nor did it match their aesthetic standards! Bai Wuhen, on the other hand, looked at the pair of copper hammers and had the desire to bid. This was because his son, Bai Yanlang, liked such crude-looking items the most. The few VIP rooms upstairs lacked the desire to bid. On the contrary, the people in the auction hall downstairs made their bids one after another. To them, they did not have the right to choose their weapons. As long as they had enough spiritual stones, they would not let go of any weapon that appeared in front of them. This was because for ordinary cultivators, it was already very rare to find a weapon that could be used with decent attack power. How could they have the chance to choose? As for those lucky ones, they could not be used to make a general comparison. 110,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 120,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 130,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ Among the bidders, there were wandering itinerant cultivators, clan leaders or disciples of small clans and small sects, and naturally, there were wandering cultivators as well. Every time they raised the auction price, they had to make a long-term decision. However, once they made this decision, they were the ones who bid the fastest. In their hearts, they had naturally calculated in their hearts what they had to pay for each bid many times. ¡°Forget it, forget it. I¡¯ve given up on this auction. Our Bai clan¡¯s current focus should be on moving the entire clan to the imperial capital and making the eighth prince even more satisfied!¡± ¡°As for these weapons and what not, when our clan is able to catch its breath in the future, we¡¯ll buy them again for Bai Yanlang!¡± After some deliberation and struggle in the VIP room, Bai Wuhen still gave up. After all, he still needed to fight for the other items in the auction. Although there were many people in the hall on the first floor, the speed of raising the price was very slow. After Miao Qing repeatedly asked if there was anyone else who would raise the price, there might be someone who would raise the price by 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones with difficulty. Finally, when the price slowly reached 190,000 low-grade spiritual stones, it stopped moving for a long time. This price was indeed the price that this pair of purple-gold glazed copper weapons should be at. The royal auction house did not take any further action in collecting these Purple-gold Hammers. Thus, after Miao Qing asked three times, the Purple-gold Hammers were sold for 190,000 low-grade spiritual stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the purple-gold hammer, a tier 5 high-grade weapon! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2,000 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a top-grade tier 6 weapon, a pair of Purple-gold Hammers! ] ¡­ ¡°Alright! Next up is the sixth treasure of this auction!¡± ¡°The sixth item of this auction is a top-grade tier 5 dark type demonic beast¡¯s inner core!¡± ¡°The starting price is 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increment must not be less than 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Due to the foreshadowing of the previous auction, everyone present knew that the auction of the Lin auction house was divided into two stages, the first half and the second half. Six items were auctioned in the first half, and four items were auctioned in the second half. The sixth item in the first half was obviously to let everyone have a greater sense of participation. Everyone also knew that the items in the second half were very precious. Basically, there was no room for them to bid. Therefore, if there were anyone who wanted it, this would be their last chance to place their bids. This was also one of Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. In order to give everyone who had come to participate in the auction a greater sense of participation, there were good and bad items, expensive and cheap items. Chapter 141 - Choice! Obviously, this dark type tier 5 demonic beast¡¯s inner core was the cheaper one! Perhaps some would ask, ¡°What¡¯s the use of obtaining this dark type demonic beast¡¯s inner core?¡± Their imagination would be too lacking if they ask that! ¡°The dark type tier 5 demonic beast¡¯s inner core also had a wide range of uses. For example, in certain medicinal pills, talismans, arrays, and certain special moments, not a single trace of light could appear.¡± At that time, the power of darkness that could be controlled entered everyone¡¯s sight! At the same time, this type of demonic beast¡¯s inner core was also required by the dark side of every city! It was also their most popular item. When everyone went out, whether it was to hide themselves or to fight with their enemies, they would need this type of dark type product. 25,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 27,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 29,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ The frequency of people bidding in the auction hall on the first floor was obviously much faster than before. In fact, the people in the hall were so angry that their faces turned red and their ears turned red. They wanted nothing more than to start a fight with each other. Regardless of whether it was for proper or improper purposes, this kind of dark type demonic beast¡¯s inner core, which was cheap but had outstanding effects, was a rare treasure. ¡°Zhang Mazi! Don¡¯t be so shameless! I took a fancy to this thing first. I¡¯m in a rush, but you¡¯re fighting for it with me today?! When I go back, I¡¯ll expose all your trivial matters to your mother!¡± ¡°Zhang San! If you dare to do this, I¡¯ll find someone to chop off your leg in an alley!¡± ¡°Hmph, Zhang Mazi, I¡¯m certain that you don¡¯t have the guts! You don¡¯t have the strength either. I¡¯ll bid for it today. If you dare to compete with me, try It!¡± ¡°Hahaha! Don¡¯t judge me by how I was before! Who are you looking down on? Just give it a try! If I don¡¯t beat you up today, I won¡¯t be called Zhang San!¡± ¡­ ¡°Little Brother Lu! Quickly lend me 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones. I owe you. I¡¯ll return it to you later!¡± ¡°Honey, let¡¯s buy this thing off! We¡¯ll definitely be able to use it when we go back to add the medicinal powder. If the success rate increases a little, we¡¯ll be able to earn a lot more low-grade spiritual stones every month. It¡¯s not bad to add a few pieces of clothes for the children during the new year!¡± ¡°Clan leader, we¡¯re currently lacking such a dark type demon beast¡¯s inner core in the manor outside the city. If we can buy it off, that forest will be able to produce twenty percent more fruits every year!¡± ¡­ In the end, this dark type tier 5 top-grade demonic beast¡¯s inner core was successfully auctioned off at the price of 35,000 low-grade spiritual stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the tier 5 top-grade dark type demonic beast¡¯s inner core! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,200 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a sixth-grade middle-grade dark type demonic beast¡¯s inner core! ] ¡­ ¡°Alright, everyone, please take a break for now. We will continue with the second half of the auction in half an hour!¡± ¡°I still hope that everyone knows that the second half of the auction is extremely precious. Therefore, I would like to invite all of you who wish to purchase the demonic beast¡¯s inner core to quickly check if you have enough spiritual stones with you!¡± After Miao Qing finished speaking on the stage, he went straight down the stage, leaving the audience to reflect. ¡°Fifth brother, what do you think this auctioneer¡¯s meant?¡± ¡°Big brother, he seemed to have said that those who want to purchase the demonic beast¡¯s inner cores should check if they have enough spiritual stones with them. Does this mean that there are many demonic beast¡¯s inner cores in the second half of the auction?¡± ¡°Fifth brother, I think what you said makes sense. Quickly go back and ask the third brother to bring more spiritual stones over. We¡¯ve been doing business recently, but we¡¯re missing some demonic beast¡¯s inner cores!¡± ¡°Yes! Big brother, I¡¯ll go back now!¡± ¡­ Of course, there were more than one or two smart people. In this auction, everyone quickly understood the meaning behind Miao Qing¡¯s words. Therefore, those who needed the demonic beast¡¯s inner cores all went home to get spiritual stones. However, those who did not need them did not want to give up on the auction either. Even if they knew that these things might not reach their hands in the end, it was still better than nothing at home, even if it was just an eye-opener. Imagine, many years later, they could brag to their children and grandchildren! ¡°Your father was a participant in the tier 7 sword manual and the auction of top-grade demonic beast¡¯s inner cores, and he even competed with the big families in Lin City!¡± ¡°Just listen!¡± These words would make one¡¯s back hard and one¡¯s self-confidence strong! Of course, in the end, there were many reasons why the item could not be bought off. Even if it was just a random item, it would be much better than not daring to appear after half the auction! People with all sorts of thoughts gathered in the Lin auction house. Although people kept leaving, more and more people came in. Many years later, there was still a rumor circulating in Lin City that every time they held an auction at the Lin auction house, a seat in the auction hall would be worth at least a hundred low-grade spirit stones. The legend was still going on! Many people even became professional occupiers! The officials of the royal family in Lin City even complained about this. The regular auctions at the Lin auction house had solved the employment problem of many people in Lin City! However, at that time, Lin Mo had already become a legend in the entire world. He was already the kind of person that they could only look up to and worship! At this moment, Bai Wuheng was in the VIP room. As he grabbed the fruit plate on the table and chewed on the fruit carefully, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about his own matters in his heart. Last night, Master Kun Cheng, the array master of his clan, told me that he had thoroughly researched and understood the Eight Directions Sealing Array. He had also arranged all the materials needed to construct the array. Next, if he wanted to completely upgrade the Bai clan¡¯s residence, it would be another large amount of investment. Originally, in Bai Wuheng¡¯s heart, this matter was extremely important. However, ever since he obtained the top-grade tier 7 sword manual and gave it to the eighth prince, his attitude had changed completely. Since the entire Bai clan was going to move to the imperial capital of the Yanhuang Divine Empire in the future to live, they were going to develop and expand there. He also had the intention of clinging to the eighth prince. Thus, spending a large number of spiritual stones on a residence in Lin City to invest in upgrading the defense seemed to be a dispensable matter. After weighing the matter several times in his mind, he decided to take a look at the auction first. Although he already knew the list of items to be auctioned, he could not be sure until he saw the real thing. Whether these items had any effect on him or not depended on the attitude of the participants and the bidders. As for Master Kun Cheng¡¯s thoughts, how could he not understand? Chapter 142 - Why? It was nothing more than having just learned the structure of a new formation. Of course, he could not wait to put it into practice. As for the Bai clan, they just happened to provide him with the materials for the venue and the use of his ideas during this process. However, if he was sure that he would not upgrade the defensive array, how would he comfort Master Kun Cheng? This was another problem. ¡­ ¡°Alright, welcome back to the second half of the Lin auction house!¡± ¡°I believe that everyone is familiar with the rules of the Lin auction house. However, I still have to repeat them!¡± ¡°The treasures that will be auctioned in the second half of the auction are extremely precious. Please treat them seriously. If you discover any fraud or intentionally disrupt the order of the auction venue, the Lin auction house will expel you. You will be blacklisted and will never be allowed to enter.¡± 1 A wave of boos came from the auction hall below the stage. It was obvious that they agreed to this rule again. This was because this was actually to protect the interests of all the other participants in the auction. 1 ¡°Alright, auctioneer! Don¡¯t say anymore. Let¡¯s start the auction. I can¡¯t wait any longer!¡± ¡°Auctioneer, hurry up and start! Quickly let us see what precious treasures will be auctioned in the second half of the auction?¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what they will be auctioning, let¡¯s hurry up!¡± ¡°My hands are trembling with excitement. I Can¡¯t wait to see the market. Let Me, a country bumpkin, see what the real world is like!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard from my friends who participated in the auction before that every item auctioned here is something that breaks common sense and can even change the status of a country and the structure of a continent!¡± ¡°I really want to verify whether what he said is true or not!¡± ¡°Hahaha, good. Since everyone is so eager and enthusiastic, then let me introduce to everyone the first treasure that will be auctioned in the second half of the Lin auction house¡¯s auction!¡± ¡°A mid-grade tier 5 longsword!¡± ¡°What? So there¡¯s only a mid-grade tier 5 longsword?!¡± Before Miao Qing could finish his sentence, there was a commotion below the stage. ¡°It¡¯s seven mid-grade tier 5 swords. After the appraisal of our Lin auction house¡¯s experts, we¡¯ve finally confirmed that these seven mid-grade tier 5 swords are actually a set of weapons!¡± ¡°What? Seven? A set of mid-grade tier 5 swords? This reminds me of the tier 5 Five Element Cultivation Technique Manuals from the first half of the auction!¡± ¡°There¡¯s actually another set of weapons for sale? What has happened in the Lin auction house recently? Even the auction-style has changed greatly from before!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Moreover, the level of the items being auctioned is also much higher than before!¡± ¡°I remember that every time the Lin auction house held an auction, there was only a fixed tier 4 treasure as the finale. I didn¡¯t expect that even a tier 4 treasure would disappear now. There¡¯s no chance of appearing here at all!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Who says it isn¡¯t? I¡¯m very curious about what happened to the Lin auction house recently. The changes in the Lin auction house are really unbelievable. It¡¯s as if the sky has changed.¡± ¡°Yes, of course, the sky has changed because this Lin auction house has a new owner!¡± ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s no need to make random guesses. These seven mid-grade tier 5 swords will be auctioned at a starting price of 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Miao Qing decided to strike while the iron was hot and publicize this set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords. ¡°These seven mid-grade fifth-grade longswords don¡¯t have a name. However, they can emit seven-colored light, so I shall call them Seven-Colored Rainbow!¡± ¡°Seven swords, seven colors. Naturally, it also means that they have seven different attributes and contain seven different powers!¡± ¡°Moreover, they can also transmit and strengthen each other¡¯s spiritual qi through the gemstones on the hilts!¡± ¡°These seven long swords have the same appearance and weight. They can be distinguished by the gemstones embedded on the hilts. Alright, distinguished guests who wish to auction this set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords, everyone can start the auction now!¡± If the purple-gold hammer from before could not move the royal auction house at all, then this set of seven mid-grade tier 5 swords with seven rainbow colors was the other extreme! Even just hearing about the attributes of these mid-grade tier 5 longswords, everyone in the royal auction house¡¯s auction room was moved! ¡°Fortunately, we are here to participate in this auction!¡± In the VIP room where the royal auction house was located, an elder let out a long breath and patted his chest as he said. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! Elder! Fortunately, when we came to participate in this auction, we brought even more low-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, we would really be anxious to death right now. We would be staring blankly!¡± ¡°Fortunately, we have all come to participate. I knew that this Lin auction house would definitely be different from before after it had a new owner. However, I never expected that it would actually be so completely different!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s like that little earthworm suddenly turned around and flew into the sky. I find it unbelievable!¡± ¡°You said that we¡¯ve been in Lin City for so many years, but we¡¯ve never encountered so many precious treasures. How did the new owner of the Lin auction house manage to take out so many treasures?¡± ¡°Are you trying to say that the new owner of the Lin auction house really obtained so many treasures in a mysterious realm?¡± ¡°No way, if this is true, I can¡¯t help but want to explore the wilderness!¡± ¡°The benefits obtained are too shocking! We have worked hard for most of our lives, but I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as much as the amount that the Lin auction house¡¯s owner earns in this auction!¡± ¡°Who says it isn¡¯t true?¡± ¡­ Not only them, even in Bai Wuheng¡¯s room, he was also staring at a set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords on the stage with his mouth agape. He had never expected that this was a set of longswords! Previously, he only knew that the first item to be auctioned off in the second half of the auction was seven longswords, mid-grade tier 5 longswords. However, that was all. However, no matter how shocked he was, no matter how shocked he was, it was useless! That was because ever since he had drained all the low-grade spiritual stones in the Bai clan, they could no longer take out many low-grade spiritual stones. It was useless even if they were envious. ¡°Damn it, damn it, why has Lin City been peaceful for so many years? Recently, a mere Lin Mo became the owner of the Lin auction house, how could there be so many good things?¡± ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have been out of time for more than ten years, what¡¯s wrong with that? It even made me feel the poverty that I haven¡¯t felt since I was young!¡± ¡­ The starting price of 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones had actually frightened the entire auction house! Chapter 143 - Crimson Tiger It was not that they had never seen an auction item with a higher price than this. It was just that when such an exaggerated number suddenly appeared before their eyes, not many people could calmly accept it. At this moment, in Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming¡¯s VIP rooms, they were also silently communicating through their communication devices. ¡°Qi Yueheng! Qi Yueheng! Are you interested in this treasure?¡± ¡°Zhao Gongming, who are you looking down on? Our Qi family is famous for forging in Lin City!¡± ¡°Then let me ask you, how long will it take for the Qi family to forge such a mid-grade tier 5 sword? What¡¯s the cost?¡± ¡°Master Zhao, tell me the truth, aren¡¯t you overestimating our Qi family too much? I¡¯ll be honest with you, even if you lock our Qi family in the sword forging room for a thousand years, we still won¡¯t be able to forge such a set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords! ¡± ¡°If forging a mid-grade tier 5 longsword requires our entire family to spend decades for it, then forging a set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords like this one before us is hundreds to thousands of times more difficult! ¡± ¡°Moreover, in the hands of some array masters can form a sword array, such a complete set of tier 5 mid-grade longsword can form a sword array. The power is far more than seven swords of the same rank!¡± ¡°Oh, I see. You just can¡¯t forge it, can you?¡± ¡°Let me tell you! Don¡¯t push your luck, we can¡¯t forge such a powerful weapon, but our family will use such a set of swords to form a sword array, can you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense with me here. I¡¯m just asking you, do you want to buy off this mid-grade tier 5 longswords?!¡± ¡°Yes! Of course, I want to! Which idiot wouldn¡¯t want to?!¡± ¡°If this set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords can really be auctioned off to us, then not only can it immediately raise the overall strength of our two great families.¡± ¡°And if our Qi family can learn the forging method of it, then this set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords itself is the greatest treasure to us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! How many low-grade spiritual stones did you bring to the auction this time?¡± ¡°Oh, you¡¯re asking me? Then how many low-grade spiritual stones did you bring?¡± ¡°I brought 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°What a coincidence, I brought 720,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s continue to work together and bid for this set of mid-grade tier 5 longsword first.¡± ¡­ ¡°One million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The royal auction house was still playing the role of the richest force in Forest City, raising the bid by 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones. ¡°1,100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± This time, when he learned that the highest bid he could get was 1,400,000 low-grade spirit stones, Qi Yueheng felt relieved for a while. However, he did not expect that the royal auction house would give him such a big surprise! He could raise a maximum of 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡°1.2 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± In the VIP room of the royal auction house, the elders calmly continued to raise the price. This price had almost isolated everyone else, so anyone who could afford to raise the price was definitely their enemy! It seemed that Bai Wuheng had paid too many low-grade spiritual stones in the previous auction, so he had already withdrawn from this auction. Otherwise, with the attitude that Bai Wuheng had displayed in the previous auction, he would have been able to bid. Seeing such a good item, he would have already pounced forward to bid. Qi Yueheng sat in the room, his hands trembling, but he still firmly wrote a number on the bidding device. ¡°1.3 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± This was almost a price that could bring Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming¡¯s family back to ten years ago! However, the two clan leaders had put in a lot of effort to gather this amount of low-grade spiritual stones. Recently, they even found that when they washed up in the morning, there were a few strands of white hair on their sideburns. It was really not an easy thing to be able to extract 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones from each of the two clans that were constantly running. Only they could understand the pain in this! However, seeing that the opportunity was about to slip away from their hands, the two of them were not very willing. However, their fantasies were not able to avoid being crushed by reality. After two rounds of bidding, the royal auction house seemed to be a little impatient. ¡°1,700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The elder in the royal auction house¡¯s VIP room narrowed his eyes slightly and made a bid. ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to make a bid? It¡¯s such a set of mid-grade tier 5 longswords with different attributes!¡± ¡°1,700,000 low-grade spiritual stones once!¡± Miao Qing saw Qi Yueheng and the royal auction house competing, the other clans did not participate in the competition, so he could see that their own pockets were already very poor. Therefore, the price of 1,700,000 low-grade spiritual stones was very likely to be the final bid price, so he had already started counting down. ¡°1,700,000 low-grade spirit stones twice!¡± ¡°1,700,000 low-grade spirit stones thrice! Sold!¡± ¡­ [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a complete set of tier 5 mid-grade longswords. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 2000-fold rebate! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a tier 8 mid-grade Green-red Longsword! ] ¡°Alright, the first item auctioned off at the Lin auction house has been successfully auctioned off! Now, the second item will be auctioned off!¡± ¡°Tier 6 high-grade Crimson Tiger demonic beast¡¯s inner core!¡± ¡°The starting price is 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡±! ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Crimson Tiger¡¯s inner core? I heard that this is the spirit of the mountain. The blood and Qi in its body are surging. Even the inner core contains a large amount of ingredients that can transform the meridians and strength of the human body!¡± ¡°If I can obtain it, my body will definitely become stronger, and my martial arts will be able to reach a higher level.¡±. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°If I can obtain the Crimson Tiger Beast¡¯s inner core, together with the little savings I have, I can go to the medicine pavilion and buy that portion of medicine. Then, I can make it into a medicinal pill and sell it!¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I can officially become an alchemist after passing the Pill Alliance¡¯s examination.¡± ¡°This inner core of the Crimson Tiger can be used as a medicinal pill. My clan uncle¡¯s illness happens to be in need of such a demonic beast¡¯s inner core that is filled with blood and Qi!¡± ¡­ ¡°130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± A burly young man wearing a headscarf in the auction hall placed his bid. 1 140,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 160,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ The young man¡¯s bid was instantly drowned out by the voices of the others. At the same time, he closed his eyes in pain. Chapter 144 - Representative The moment the others came out to bid, he already understood that he had no fate with this demonic beast¡¯s inner core. ¡°Do you all not know what my family does? Let me tell you, all of you better be sensible and stop f*cking competing. Otherwise, when our Sky Sea Gang fights, we won¡¯t show any mercy!¡± Someone openly threatened others in the auction hall, but soon, the guards of the auction hall arrived and kicked him out. ¡°Get lost, the Lin auction house doesn¡¯t welcome you! You don¡¯t have to come here anymore. You¡¯re already on our blacklist!¡± ¡°No, Lord Guard, you can investigate. I was just joking. I¡¯m all alone. How can I have the ability to take revenge on others? Can you show mercy?¡± ¡°I really need that Crimson Tiger¡¯s inner core.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. When the second half of the auction started, the auctioneer had already said that no one was allowed to disturb the order of the auction venue. Otherwise, they would be blacklisted!¡± ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to come and plead with me anymore. It doesn¡¯t matter what I say! If you dare to come any closer, I will directly send you to the government.¡± That person could only leave the Lin auction house in an imposing manner. At this time, his back looked indescribably lonely. The intense competition in the auction house continued. ¡°210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Since we weren¡¯t able to compete for that set of seven tier 5 mid-grade longswords, then I can¡¯t let go of the remaining demonic beast¡¯s inner cores!¡± ¡°These demonic beast¡¯s inner cores are extremely compatible with our Zhao family¡¯s talismans. If I can bring all of these demonic beast cores back with me, even if I don¡¯t use them, I can use them to nurture Zhao Yizhi and the others. His talent in creating talismans is much more powerful than mine!¡± In the Zhao family¡¯s auction VIP room, Zhao Gongming sat on a stool. His eyes were burning as he looked down through the revolving window. His heart was filled with determination to obtain it. As for the group of people in the VIP room of the royal auction house, their demand for the demonic beast¡¯s inner core was not very high. They had no intention of bidding for it. Similarly, Bai Wuheng¡¯s attitude was the same! Obtaining a demonic beast¡¯s inner core would not help him occupy a more important position in the eighth prince¡¯s heart. Hence, he did not make a move. Therefore, only Zhao Gongming was left in the hall to compete with the people in the hall. However, he was the clan leader of a clan in Lin City, and he was sitting here with all the savings of his entire clan. How could those people in the hall compete with him? Therefore, even though the people in the hall made two more bids, in the end, Zhao Gongming was still able to buy this high-grade tier 6 Crimson Tiger¡¯s inner core at the price of 250,000 low-grade spiritual stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the high-grade tier 6 Crimson Tiger¡¯s inner core! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,800 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the mid-grade tier 7 Crimson Tiger¡¯s inner core! ] ¡­ ¡°Next, the third auction item in the second half of the Lin auction house!¡± ¡°It¡¯s also a high-grade tier 6 Green-scaled Snake demonic beast inner core.¡± ¡°The starting price is 120,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± This was a demonic beast¡¯s inner core that had the same price as the previous Crimson Tiger. Legend has it that when a demonic beast reaches tier 6, it will fuse its own attributes, rich elemental energy, and its own attributes into the demonic beast¡¯s inner core. Therefore, each demonic beast¡¯s inner core actually contained different types of energy. On the other hand, the Green-scaled Snake had been hovering on the high mountains all year round. Therefore, it had an extremely dense and pure aura of life. If such a demonic beast¡¯s inner core could be used as medicine, it could be used to produce at least four tier 6 medicinal pills! If such a treasure could be fused into a talisman that could restore vitality, then it could easily increase the time for the talisman to be effective and increase the final healing effect. 140,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 160,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ ¡°200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this time, it was still Clan Leader Zhao Gongming who made a forceful move. He had already sworn that he would sweep through almost all the remaining demonic beast¡¯s inner cores in this auction! Moreover, due to his own spirit stone reserves and psychological factors, Zhao Gongming was always able to defeat the bidders in the auction hall with a top-down aura, thus obtaining the auction item. This demonic beast¡¯s inner core was no exception. In the end, it was bought by Zhao Gongming at the price of 260,000 low-grade spiritual stones. [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the tier 6 mid-grade Green-scaled Snake¡¯s inner core! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2000 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the tier 7 high-grade Green-scaled Snake¡¯s inner core! ] ¡­ ¡°In the second half of this auction, the third auction item is a tier 6 high-grade, Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core!¡± ¡°The starting price will still be 120,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡±! ¡­ After Miao Qing stepped onto the stage, he still held a jade box in his hand like the previous few times. After opening the jade box, he saw a pearl-like demonic beast¡¯s inner core inside, emitting a faint pressure. ¡°What! Even the Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core appeared this time!¡± ¡°The Golden-Armored Mad Lion is different from the previous two types of demonic beast¡¯s inner cores. The Golden-armored Mad Lion is a well-known demonic beast with tyrannical attack power, extremely fast movement speed, and excellent recovery speed of spiritual energy!¡± ¡°It¡¯s really hard to imagine that a powerful Golden-armored Mad Lion would actually be hunted by humans.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I wonder how many beastmasters¡¯ final obsession and dream is to see is a living Golden-armored Mad Lion. They don¡¯t even dare to dream of having the Golden-armored Mad Lion become their subdued beast!¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect it! I really didn¡¯t expect this Lin auction house to be so overbearing this time. They directly took out a Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core, and most importantly, a high-grade tier 6 demonic beast¡¯s inner core!¡± As a demonic beast¡¯s inner core auctioned from the Lin auction house, it naturally had an extremely wide range of applications. One could practically see its figure in almost any high-grade medicinal pill! Or perhaps it could be said that it was a material that could be used in all medicinal pills. The Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core had a moderate and peaceful nature. It was also powerful and effective. Thus, it was deeply loved by the majority of pharmacists, regardless of whether it was the strong or the weak! In the auction hall, dozens of young people wearing long robes with a green leaf hanging on their chests held their breaths as they stared at the auctioneer, Miao Qing, on the auction stage with fervent eyes. Especially when they stared at the jade box in his hand, their eyes were filled with desire! After staring at it for a while, these people hurriedly gathered together and lowered their heads to discuss it. Finally, they sent out a representative. Chapter 145 - Competition! After he stood up, he quickly raised his hand and shouted. ¡°150,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, Zhao Gongming, who was in the VIP room on the second floor of the auction venue, made another bid. It was still the 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones that stifled the crowd below the stage! At the level of high-grade tier 6, the value of the demonic beast¡¯s inner core had already greatly exceeded the price that he should be auctioning off, and the price of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones was the dividing line among them! If the price exceeded 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, then the higher the price, the more losses the auctioneer would suffer. However, this time, Zhao Gongming had clearly underestimated the determination of the white-robed people participating in the auction on the first floor. They hesitated for a moment before bidding again. ¡°230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, Zhao Gongming, who was in the VIP room on the second floor, lowered his head to look at his competitors who were continuing to compete with him. Especially when he saw the white robes on their bodies, he seemed to hesitate for a moment. However, this hesitation did not last long before he made another bid. ¡°240,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, the representative of the white-robed young man who was sent out from downstairs also made a bid without hesitation. ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, the man¡¯s face was flushed red as he clenched his fists tightly and raised them above his head. His gaze was fixed on the jade box on the auction stage. At this moment, in the VIP room on the second floor, Zhao Gongming looked at the white-robed young man in the hall and then at Miao Qing and the jade box in his hand. He closed his eyes and hesitated for a moment before looking down at the green leaf on the chests of those young men. After a long while, he sighed softly and gave up on bidding again. ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones going once!¡± ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones going twice!¡± ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones going thrice! Sold!¡± [ Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the tier 6 high-grade Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3,000 times the profit! ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a tier 8 low-grade Golden-armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core! ] ¡­ At this moment, Zhao Gongming thought in his heart. ¡®These young people are members of the Life Alchemists!¡¯ ¡°Looking at the badges on their chests, it all shows that they are the descendants of the Life Alchemists who refine pills related to the Life Domain. As the most powerful alchemist organization within the Yanhuang Divine Empire, it¡¯s best not to offend them!¡±! ¡± ¡°After all, who can guarantee that they will never have any disease, will never be able to ask for their head?¡± Below the stage, those who wear white clothes in the successful auction to the tier 6 Golden-Armored Mad Lion¡¯s inner core, looked ecstatic! Even Zhao Gongming could see clearly that many of them were hugging each other excitedly. ¡®Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as giving them some face and forming a good relationship with the life faction!¡¯ At this moment, Miao Qing also walked onto the stage once again. The handmaiden¡¯s tray behind him was still covered with a red silk cloth. ¡°Next, we will be auctioning off the final treasure of this auction. This is a tier 6 mid-grade array, the Eight Directions Combination!¡± ¡°This array has the effect of combining the strength of the eight cultivators who formed the array core. It also has multiple transformations.¡± ¡°The first transformation can create a weapon condensed from vitality within the array. The second transformation can create a puppet that can automatically attack. The third transformation will be kept a secret here!¡± ¡°This transformation will be left to the owner of this array formation to comprehend! The starting price is 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be less than 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± As Miao Qing turned around and removed the cloth that was used to cover the tray, an extremely simple and unadorned secret manual with a blue cover appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. This secret manual seemed to carry a mysterious power. When the people in the auction hall focused their gazes on him, they all felt a wave of dizziness at the same time! ¡°It¡¯s true, this is absolutely true!¡± ¡°Is this the legendary tier 6 mid-grade array? It seems to be a combined attack array.¡± ¡°A combined attack array is a treasure that is even rarer than a single array. This Lin family can actually take it out for auction?¡± ¡°Compared to those trash from before, this combined attack array is practically made of gold. Moreover, it will continuously produce gold!¡± The people in the auction hall on the first floor began to discuss one after another. They even compared the excellent inner core cultivation method manuals and other items that had shocked them to junk! In the VIP room on the second floor, Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, Bai Wuheng, and the people from the royal auction house stood up in shock! At this moment, Bai Wuheng suddenly squatted down and said to Zhao Gongming through his communication device with a bitter smile. ¡°Zhao Gongming, I¡¯ve finally opened my eyes today!¡± ¡°I was too naive before. With only a million low-grade spiritual stones from our two clans, it¡¯s really a bit over my head to actually think of auctioning off this joint attack array technique manual!¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s more than that. Qi Yueheng, forget it, forget it. Today¡¯s auction is purely to broaden our horizons. Even if we were to buy off such a precious array, I¡¯m afraid we wouldn¡¯t have the strength to protect it!¡± ¡°That kind of behavior is no different from a child carrying gold through a busy market. It will only bring about a fatal disaster!¡± At this time, Zhao Gongming also spoke to Qi Yueheng with a somewhat self-deprecating tone. ¡°This is actually the legendary joint attack array? This kind of thing only exists in the legendary sacred lands! It can actually be left behind at this time?¡± ¡°What if I can buy it off and offer it to the eighth prince? When that time comes, I will definitely occupy an even more important position in the eighth prince¡¯s heart!¡± ¡°I can even become his right-hand man in one leap. I can even become a carp leaping over the dragon¡¯s gate. I can become a popular person in front of the crown prince. From then on, I will be able to make a public appearance in the Yanhuang Divine Empire.¡± ¡°When that time comes, will the entire Bai clan be able to cooperate with the authorities in the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire? Wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to soaring into the sky?¡± Bai Wuheng went through his thoughts again and again in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that even if he had to sell off all of the Bai clan¡¯s assets for this, it was worth it to take down this joint attack array! At this moment, Bai Wuheng¡¯s fists were tightly clenched together. The determination in his eyes was almost flowing out. ¡°I have a VIP card from the Lin auction house. According to the rules, I have three days to collect low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bid for this array first. When I go out and sell everything, I¡¯ll have to gather enough spiritual stones. or I can just drag it out until the eighth prince¡¯s envoy arrives. He¡¯ll definitely have a lot of low-grade spiritual stones on him! When the time comes, I¡¯ll definitely be able to take down this array!¡± Chapter 146 - Sold! At the same time, in the royal auction house¡¯s VIP room, a group of elders and grand elders were leaning against the mysterious windows, looking at Miao Qing in the hall on the first floor, as well as the array formation in his hand. The royal auction house suddenly spoke up. ¡°Elders, how many low-grade spiritual stones are all of you worth right now? And how many low-grade spiritual stones can our royal auction house afford to spend?¡± ¡°In the next period of time, if we make an emergency move, how many low-grade spiritual stones can the items in our royal auction house be exchanged for?¡± ¡°If we gather low-grade spiritual stones from the royal auction house of other cities, how many low-grade spiritual stones can we get in three days?¡± ¡°Grand elder, I have 340,000 low-grade spiritual stones here!¡± ¡°Grand elder, I can gather 270,000 low-grade spiritual stones here!¡± ¡°Grand elder! I have 420,000 low-grade spiritual stones here!¡± ¡­ Thus, the elders of the royal auction house began to gather in the VIP rooms of the royal auction house. In the end, after a series of discussions among the elders, they were finally able to gather 1,070,000 low-grade spiritual stones! The royal auction house in Lin City was able to gather around 1,000,000 low-grade spirit stones within three days. Through the imperial auction house in other cities, they were able to gather 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones within a short period of time. Finally, the elders spoke up. ¡°Good! In addition to the low-grade spiritual stones I brought with me from before, it looks like it should be enough to buy off this tier 6 mid-grade combined attack array!¡± ¡­ 230,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 250,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 290,000 low-grade spiritual stones! ¡­ While the clan leaders, elders, and managers of the big families in the VIP rooms on the second floor were deep in thought, many people in the hall on the first floor had already placed their bids. Looking at the large number of arms that were raised high up in the air, Miao Qing seemed to have merged into the ocean of passion as he excitedly announced the bids. After hesitating on the spot for a while, the Xufeng group¡¯s Xu Youqing also made his bid. ¡°500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± As a member of the Xufeng group, Xu Youqing¡¯s Xufeng Group had always been in groups! If they were able to obtain this array, with a little training, their Xufeng group¡¯s strength would be able to welcome a surge of growth in a short period of time! As for the various pressures from the outside world, this was one of the great advantages of being a mercenary group. That was, they did not care about where they were carrying out their missions! If they were forced into a corner, they could even go far away without any hesitation! Xu Youqing¡¯s bid seemed to have triggered some sort of signal. The people in the VIP room on the second floor also seemed to have woken up from a dream at this time. Looking at the fiery atmosphere below the stage, they were ready to enter the stage. ¡°One million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The royal auction house¡¯s bid was very abrupt, but they did not care at all. They doubled the previous person¡¯s bid. Everyone could see that the royal auction house had a high degree of desire for this array, and he also had the strength to do so. However, Bai Wuheng also had the same determination and strength as the royal auction house. ¡°Two million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± It seemed that the royal auction house was trying to replay the domineering times, and the current bid also had an overwhelming advantage. The people in the auction hall on the first floor could not see the people on the second floor. Who were the two bidders, but this did not prevent them from revealing their true feelings. ¡°Oh my God, who are these people on the second floor? I¡¯ve lived in Lin City since I was young, so why do I seem to have never noticed such a family with spiritual stones in Lin City?¡± ¡°Where did these people come from? They bid a million low-grade spiritual stones so easily. I wonder if they really have that many low-grade spiritual stones, or are they here to make themselves look rich?¡± There were also people who looked up at the second floor of the Lin auction house excitedly, muttering non-stop. ¡°This is what life should be like! Spending a lot of money for one¡¯s own thoughts!¡± ¡°Even if I have to sacrifice everything I have for this!¡± ¡°I can confirm it! It was definitely impossible for these large clans to take out so many low-grade spiritual stones in one go. In fact, they even had to sell off a lot of their property in Lin City, to the extent that they were willing to sell everything they had! But¡­¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t what they value the future of this array the same way?¡± At this moment, the people from the royal auction house were sitting in the VIP room, angrily smashing the sofa at the foot of the mountain with both fists. They still deeply remembered the name of Bai Wuheng! After thinking it through, the royal auction house decisively made another bid. ¡°Three million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± In the auction hall on the first floor, Miao Qing¡¯s face was flushed with excitement as he read out the royal auction house¡¯s bid loudly. ¡°A distinguished guest in the VIP room has made a bid of three million low-grade spiritual stones! Is there anyone else who will make a higher bid? Everyone, please pay attention. This is a joint attack array that can help an ordinary cultivator of the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm defeat a cultivator of the Perfect Realm!¡± ¡°This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. If we miss this opportunity, you won¡¯t find it again!¡± As Miao Qing spoke on the auction stage, a few seconds later, another bid came from the VIP room where Bai Wuheng was located. ¡°Five million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, the price competition between the two houses had reached a climax. In the VIP room of the royal auction house, whether it was the elders of the royal auction house or the grand elder, they were all clenching their fists and staring at Miao Qing on the auction stage with furrowed brows. Their ears were also sensitive, listening to all the voices that could come from all directions of the auction house. Although they had many royal auction houses across the Yanhuang Divine Empire as their foundations, these were things that had to be handed over to Lord Si Konghuan of the grain tax department. The nature of this array had already determined its own value. They could use low-grade spiritual stones, but not too many! In the royal auction house¡¯s room, their faces were also pale, without a trace of blood. Looking at the auction stage and at Miao Qing, who was excitedly announcing the five million bid to the entire auction hall, the royal auction house was lost in thought. After a long while, an elder from the royal auction house gently raised his left hand and reached for the price input device not far from his hand. However, just as the two were about to touch each other. As if he had been stung by a bee, the elder fiercely withdrew his hand! There was even a hint of fear in his eyes as he looked at the auction hall below. He hesitated again and again, but in the end, he still did not pick it up. At this moment, Miao Qing, who was in the auction hall, excitedly began counting down. ¡°Five million low-grade spiritual stones going once!¡± ¡°Five million low-grade spiritual stones going twice!¡± ¡°Five million low-grade spiritual stones going thrice! Sold!¡± ¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a tier 6 mid-grade Eight Directions Combination Array! ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining 7,000 times the rebate! ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a tier 8 high-grade Myriad Kingdoms Arrival Array! ] Chapter 147 - Slap His Mouth ¡°A Tier 8 high-rank Myriad Kingdom Arrival Array?¡± Lin Mo immediately burst out laughing! If the [ tier 6 mid-grade Myriad Kingdom Arrival Array ] that had been auctioned off previously was just an array that could be produced in a sacred land. The [ tier 8 high-grade Myriad Kingdom Arrival Array ] that the system had given him was definitely a unique top-grade formation! Even the legendary holy land would not be able to use such a high-grade array! ¡°Should this array be auctioned off? Or should it be used to strengthen the auction house? Or is it used to win over the hearts of the people?¡± Lin Mo dragged his chin as he pondered. If others were to know of his thoughts, they would probably be so shocked that they would vomit blood! A Tier 8 high-grade cultivation technique could be sold directly to the imperial court and they could become a high-ranking official, right? Lin Mo actually still wanted to sell it? There was no other way. He had the system in his hands, right? He was just willful. Bai Wuheng, who did not know about all of this, thought that he had picked up a huge loophole. He stood up smugly and looked down at the people in the VIP auction room. He had an imposing manner that seemed to look down on the world. ¡°From today onwards, our Bai clan will be able to rise!¡± Bai Wuheng said excitedly. Even the congratulations of Miao Qing and the others could not be heard anymore. He only wanted to quickly report this good news to the eighth prince. However, when the clan leaders saw this scene, they began to discuss it deeply. ¡°Do you guys think that the Bai clan will be unlucky in the end, or will it soar?¡± ¡°Fifty-fifty.¡± ¡°If Bai Wuheng doesn¡¯t lose his mind, there¡¯s still a chance for him to be placed in an important position¡­ However, why do we feel that the Bai clan is going to be unlucky soon?¡± ¡­ Late at night in Lin City¡­ The news that Bai Wuheng had bid five million low-grade spirit stones for a tier 6 mid-grade array spread quickly throughout the upper echelons. Even though five million low-grade spiritual stones had caused Bai Wuheng to go bankrupt, he still proudly booked the highest-grade restaurant in Lin City and invited everyone to a banquet. He was making a scene for the Bai clan. After all, this was a Tier 6 mid-grade array! If the eighth prince knew about this, even the eighth prince himself would probably be grinning from ear to ear, right? Amidst the sounds and sounds of dogs and horses, Bai Wuheng, whose face was glowing red, suddenly saw a pair of familiar black and white-clothed sisters appear at the entrance of the restaurant. With a thought, Bai Wuheng hurriedly took the array formation and followed them. This pair of sisters had a noble temperament and were dressed mysteriously. They each carried a royal sword on their waists. Bai Wuheng followed them to the private room of the restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he offered the array formation to them. ¡°Thank you, ladies, for coming all the way here! I believe that the eighth Prince has also received the news that I am collecting the array for the eighth prince!¡± Bai Wuheng¡¯s face was filled with joy as if a promotion was right in front of his eyes. However, he did not expect the eyes of the sisters were unusually sharp. The beautiful eyes of the white-clothed woman focused, and she asked, ¡°You spent a total of five million low-grade spiritual stones to bid for this array?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Bai Wuheng¡¯s expression stiffened slightly. ¡°Yes¡­ But you two young ladies don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already mortgaged my family assets. With another six hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, I¡¯ll be able to make a comeback¡­ This business is absolutely profitable!¡± Bai Wuheng thought to himself, I¡¯ve even sold my family assets just to give you the treasures of the eighth prince. ¡°Now, doesn¡¯t this show how loyal my Bai clan is?¡± However, he never expected that the woman in white who heard this would just step forward and hold the array in her hands without any change. Then, she came to the curtain of the private room and knelt down on one knee to offer the array. ¡°Prince, the array is in hand. Please give the order to deal with it.¡± The eighth prince was here?! Bai Wuheng was astonished. He had never expected that the dignified eighth prince would actually appear in Lin City. Moreover, the eighth prince should be living in the capital, right? Even if he received the news and was overly excited, it would take him at least five days to rush to Lin City. How did he do it? A cold and neutral voice came from behind the curtain. ¡°Slap.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The white-clothed woman was still kneeling, but the black-clothed woman stepped forward decisively and slapped Bai Wuheng¡¯s face! Slap! Bai Wuheng instantly felt dizzy and spat out black blood as he lay on the ground innocently. ¡°Eighth prince, why are you doing this?¡± ¡°Slap again.¡± Slap! Slap! ¡°¡­¡± After a total of ten slaps, Bai Wuheng was knocked out of his mind. Only then did the eighth prince behind the curtain fall silent. Bai Wuheng was extremely innocent, and a hint of despair appeared in his heart. He had already been so humble and bent over, and he had wholeheartedly wanted the eighth prince¡¯s good. How could the eighth prince be so unreasonable? ¡°Send this formation up. Let this prince have a look,¡± said the person behind the curtain. Upon hearing this voice, Bai Wuheng coughed up blood and knelt on the ground in fear. However, he felt that the eighth prince¡¯s tone was soft and feminine as if he was a woman. He thought of the rumors that had spread from the capital¡­ the eighth prince had cultivated a female cultivation technique, causing him to go berserk, and it was difficult to tell whether he was male or female. Could this be true? After the array was sent in, Bai Wuheng followed the black shadow. He saw the eighth prince take a look and confirmed that the formation was the real thing. Then, he put the formation aside and reached out his hand. ¡°Go get that one million low-grade spiritual stones¡­ Bai Wuheng, after you take this money, you and your Bai clan will completely disappear from the empire¡­¡± ¡°What!?¡± Bai Wuheng was in disbelief. The black-clothed woman held a heavy bag in her hand and threw it to Bai Wuheng. Seeing Bai Wuheng¡¯s puzzled look, the black-clothed woman looked down on Bai Wuheng as if she was looking down on an ant. ¡°How much effort did the eighth prince put into your Bai clan?¡± ¡°A mere Tier 6 mid-grade array was enough to send you out in full force? Not only did your clan suffer a loss, but the major forces that are related to your Bai clan also came out to raise funds.¡± ¡°Bai Wuheng, are you worthy of our eighth prince?!¡± ¡°This!¡± Bai Wuheng¡¯s face was pale as he took the cosmos bag shakily. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. ¡°I didn¡¯t know, eighth prince! You didn¡¯t tell me about this!¡± ¡°Idiot,¡± the eighth prince evaluated. As the saying went, a single hair could affect the whole body. As one of the powerful successors of the empire, the eighth prince was not appointed by the emperor. He had quite a few competitors. There were even seven older brothers in front of him! None of them were simple! The eighth prince¡¯s plan was naturally focused on the overall situation. And Bai Wuheng, that idiot, did not realize the importance of Lin City to the eighth prince at all. Although Lin City was remote, it was a place for the eighth prince to live. If he lost a battle in the future or was secretly harmed, with his influence in the capital, he would not be able to stir up any waves. That was why he valued the Bai clan so much. On this trip, not only did he inspect many forces that had been secretly nurtured. He also saw Bai Wuheng and had the idea of helping and developing the Bai clan. He did not expect Bai Wuheng to be so foolish as to destroy the rear security that he had been running for so many years? However, time could not be reversed. After chasing away the disheveled Bai Wuheng¡­ The eighth prince thought for a moment and then asked, ¡°Qing Wen, Qing Wu, you two girls came from the holy land.¡± ¡°Let me ask you, how does the array of the Purple Cloud Holy Land nearest to this array compare?¡± Seeing that the eighth prince already had the idea to stop the damage, the two girls called Qing Wen and Qing Wu frowned and thought, ¡°It¡¯s not really good.¡± ¡°However, the quality of this array is exceptionally perfect. It must be the best of the best that was selected from the best of the best!¡± ¡°The original owner of this array probably has an even higher grade array¡­ perhaps there might be a Tier 7 mid-grade formation!¡± Tier 7 mid-grade? Hearing these four words, the eighth prince was also interested. Chapter 148 - I’ll Pay the Bill The Purple Cloud Holy Land was 2000 miles away from Lin City. It was not far away, but it was separated by the Qinghuai Holy Land. Not only did the Qinghuai Holy Land have a bad relationship with the Purple Cloud Holy Land, but they also had an old grudge with Lin Mo. The way to enter the Purple Cloud Holy Land was also very mysterious. One needed to be led by the Purple Cloud Elder of the holy land to enter. The array to enter the holy land was a tier 6 mid-grade array. The Qinghuai Holy Land, on the other hand, could be entered once they found its location. It could be seen that the array that Bai Wuheng had sent over with all his wealth was not completely useless. At the very least, it was at the level of a holy land. It was just that he could not understand the eighth prince¡¯s intentions, which was why he was punished by the eighth prince. ¡°Eighth prince, this new manager of the Lin auction house is someone you can befriend. He only recognizes money, not people.¡± ¡°In addition, the two great holy lands have thoughts of befriending you. Do you think we should choose the Purple Cloud Holy Land or the Qinghuai Holy Land?¡± The holy land was like a secret realm. If an ordinary person could get into the holy land, even if he was just a handyman, he would be able to live comfortably and have a bright future. As a prince, the eighth prince was naturally the target of the two great holy lands. However, if it was not for the fact that he did not have a choice, he really didn¡¯t want to form an alliance with these unpresentable holy lands. Small circles were always more chaotic. Along the way, the eighth prince had already seen the methods of those clans that relied on him as a backer, acting according to the situation, and plotting against loyal and virtuous families. ¡°Hmm¡­ Qinghuai Holy Land, right? I heard that the disciples of the Purple Cloud Holy Land are all women. It¡¯s somewhat inconvenient for me to interact with them.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The sisters nodded their heads in remembrance. The eighth prince sighed. He did not expect that the lair he was prepared to hide in at any time would actually be messed up by this trash, Bai Wuheng. Fortunately, he had come to take a look. Otherwise, it would have been unimaginable. Inside Drunken Immortal Restaurant¡­ Bai Wuheng clutched his Qiankun bag gloomily and returned to his seat amid the cheers of the crowd. Qi Yueheng and the others on the main seat were dumbfounded. ¡°Master Bai, your face is¡­¡± ¡°I fell.¡± The corners of Bai Wuheng¡¯s mouth twitched, and he said dejectedly, ¡°Everyone, eat well and drink well. I won¡¯t accompany you.¡± The distinguished guests thought about how Bai Wuheng had followed a pair of sisters into the room earlier. When he came out, his face was like this. It was obvious that the pair of sisters were not to be trifled with. They were probably not from the imperial city. Bai Wuheng must have suffered a setback this time, right? Zhao Gongming was instantly amused. He held back his laughter and looked at Bai Wuheng¡¯s expression mockingly with the other clan leaders. Qi Yueheng pretended to be surprised and spoke out to persuade him to stay. ¡°Master Bai, how dare you leave first? You are the biggest winner of the auction today! If you give the array to the eighth prince, who knows how much reward you will get!¡± Zhao Gongming was also surprised, ¡°Yes! I heard that the eighth prince was magnanimous and has no brave generals under him! Everyone is working for the imperial city, but among us, one is close to the fourth prince and the other is close to the second prince¡­ These nobles don¡¯t lack people.¡± ¡°Clan Leader Bai, you¡¯ve definitely won yourself a core position!¡± ¡°Tell us the story of how you met the eighth prince so that everyone can feel happy!¡± Bai Wuheng could naturally hear that Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming were deliberately mocking him, but he did not flare-up. He was really depressed at the moment. It was one thing to make things worse, but he had lost all his wealth. Although he had become less rich than he previously was, he was still richer than the poor as the eighth prince had given him a million low-grade spirit stones to save his life. However, if the other three great clans find out that the eighth prince had given up on the Bai clan, it was likely that the Bai clan would be expelled from the four great families! He had to do something. ¡®F*ck, why did I follow such a sissy and stingy person?!¡¯ Bai Wuheng thought to himself. At this moment, Lin Mo also entered Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Compared to the bitter-looking Bai Wuheng, Lin Mo was in high spirits. Behind him were Wu Jin and Miao Qing, which made the entire Drunken Immortal Restaurant lively. ¡°Hry, isn¡¯t this Owner Lin? Come and sit down.¡± Qi Yueheng stood up and said. The juniors of the various large families in Drunken Immortal Restaurant also hurriedly stood up to welcome him, but behind the pretense, they were quite dissatisfied. They were clearly of the same age as Lin Mo, but Lin Mo was able to ascend to a high position and chat cheerfully with the various large family heads! Were they just going to act like little brothers and shout here and there? In Drunken Immortal Restaurant, a slim and graceful beauty under the guidance of the sisters gave Lin Mo a meaningful glance. ¡°He¡¯s still a good-looking talent and is not as stinky as you say. It¡¯s just that¡­ This Lin Mo looks too young, isn¡¯t he a puppet that someone brought out?¡± ¡°Prince¡­¡± the white-robed Qing Wen said nervously, ¡°This Lin Mo is only good at pretending, but he¡¯s actually very greedy!¡± The black-robed Qing Wu¡¯s face was even paler as she said, ¡°Seeing such an unruly person, why is there a need for the prince to reveal his true identity? Qing Wu, Qing Wen, just go and capture him.¡± ¡°Moreover¡­ what should we do if Bai Wuheng finds out? Such a vile person will definitely repay kindness with hatred! Please think twice, prince!¡± Who would have thought that this beautiful and beautiful woman was actually the eighth prince, who the citizens of the imperial city called weak? He did not put on any makeup and said with his brows slightly lowered, ¡°Do you really think that I will let the Bai clan off? The Bai clan has been relying on our power for so many years. How can they be willing to be defeated in one night?¡± ¡°This Bai Wuheng definitely has to do something¡­ For a dead person, it¡¯s fine even if we let him know part of the truth.¡± Qing Wen and Qing Wu were shocked. They did not think that this eighth prince would be so ruthless. The eighth prince did not even frown before he sentenced Bai Wuheng to death! As expected, accompanying a prince was like accompanying a tiger! Looking at Lin Mo, Bai Wuheng did not feel good either. He had nowhere to vent the frustration in his heart, so he said a few sour words to Lin Mo, ¡°What? Even Manager Lin likes to come to such a romantic place?¡± ¡°I thought Manager Lin was a good-looking person and didn¡¯t like to hang out with us elders who drink.¡± However, Lin Mo completely ignored him! He came here this time because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were many people in Drunken Immortal Restaurant to organize a small-scale auction! If there was money to be made, who would care about a person like Bai Wuheng? Lin Mo directly looked at Qi Yueheng and said with a fake smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you all like to gather at Hundred Flowers Restaurant? Why did you come to Drunken Immortal Restaurant tonight?¡± Everyone was also dumbfounded, Qi Yueheng said in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t Drunken Immortal Restaurant the property of the Lin family? It was also newly opened. Originally, the Bai clan mainly held a banquet at Hundred Flowers Restaurant. However, when we heard that Drunken Immortal Restaurant had a new opening event, we changed to this place.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was full of question marks. The Lin family¡¯s business was an auction house. Why would they hold a night session and play with flower wine? Bai Wuheng must have been tricked by someone, right? Just as everyone realized that something was wrong, suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Accompanied by two ladies, a peerless beauty swayed her body as she slowly walked down the stairs. ¡°I opened it.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes lit up as they looked over. ¡°Everyone¡¯s expenses today will be on my account. If you have any needs in the future, you can just spend some time in this Drunken Immortal Restaurant.¡± ¡°But let¡¯s make it clear first, our Drunken Immortal Restaurant only drinks wine and doesn¡¯t do anything else.¡± ¡°If anyone has dirty hands, Don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± This woman spoke in a bewitching manner. Her appearance was somewhat exotic, noble, and charming. The men present were all stunned. Lin Mo looked at the family heads in astonishment. ¡°Whose relative is this?¡± Chapter 149 - No Auction, But Its a Robbery Instead? Everyone present in Lin City was people with power. Take Bai Wuheng for example, he could get five million low-grade spiritual stones with a single sentence. He was a powerful figure in any place! However, this woman actually dared to call herself ¡®this majesty¡¯ in front of these powerful figures? Qi Yuexeng was the first to speak. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this lady before.¡± Zhao Gongming also said suspiciously, ¡°It¡¯s more than that¡­ If Lin City had such a beautiful lady, wouldn¡¯t we know?¡± ¡°This shopkeeper looks to be in his early twenties, right? His temperament seems exceptionally mature.¡± The people of the western regions developed earlier. This woman did not look old, but she already exuded an alluring mature and charming temperament. Her figure was even more devilish. Not only that, there were two women who accompanied her, one in black and the other in white. The black-clothed woman was cold and beautiful, while the white-clothed woman was delicate and pitiful. They were also of the highest quality! If these three beauties were placed in Lin City, others definitely could not compare to them. Everyone dared to say that there was no woman in the entire Lin City who was more beautiful than these three, even if it was difficult to even get close to them! However, there must be something wrong with the matter. Originally, these family heads were all rash fellows, but because of this woman¡¯s aura, they could not say anything else. The woman nodded slightly. ¡°I haven¡¯t introduced myself. My name is Zi Yue, this is Qing Wen, and this is Qing Wu.¡± ¡°Zi Yue came from the Purple Cloud Holy Land. The holy land has been spending a lot of money recently, so it was inevitable that she had to do some business. I did not inform you in advance, so I hope you will forgive me.¡± So she was from the Purple Cloud Holy Land! ¡®Zi Yue¡¯explained her origin clearly. However, Lin Mo clearly saw that Bai Wuheng¡¯s face showed a terrified expression, and cold sweat kept falling from his forehead. He widened his eyes as if he had seen something unbelievable. ¡°Master,¡± Wu Jin frowned and said, ¡°Something seems to be wrong. Why did a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land come to Lin City? I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s not here for the auction.¡± ¡°I guess so.¡± Lin Mo continued to observe. He saw everyone looking at each other. Qi Yueheng, who was more courageous, laughed straightforwardly. He toasted and said, ¡°So she¡¯s a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land! No wonder she¡¯s so beautiful!¡± ¡°But this lady isn¡¯t just here to open a restaurant, right?¡± ¡°The head of the Qi clan is very smart.¡± Zi Yue pursed her lips and nodded. Her words and actions were very polite. Qi Yueheng was stunned. ¡°You know me?¡± ¡°Of course I know you.¡± Zi Yue looked at the crowd and started to introduce them one by one. ¡°This is Clan Leader Bai, this is Clan Leader Zhao, this is Lil¡¯ Wu, and Lil¡¯ Miao.¡± ¡°This is¡­¡± When she looked at Lin Mo, Zi Yue¡¯s charming gaze lingered for a moment. ¡°He must be the nouveau riche whose name shook the entire Lin City. Mr. Lin Mo, you are indeed incomparably heroic.¡± Good heavens, so she was here for Lin Mo! At this moment, everyone understood. Since Zi Yue claimed to be of the Purple Clouds Holy Land, could it be that she heard that there was an auction in the Lin city that could sell high-level cultivation methods, arrays, and elixirs, so she could not sit still and came over to inquire about the situation? Wu Jin did not expect Zi Yue to do her homework so well. He whispered into Lin Mo¡¯s ear, ¡°Master, that¡¯s right. She should be here to buy something.¡± ¡°How do you know?¡± Lin Mo retorted. ¡°You just believe what others say? You haven¡¯t seen a single cent. Who knows if she¡¯s from the Purple Cloud Holy Land?¡± With the help of Qing Wen and Qing Wu, Zi Yue walked to an empty table and sat down gracefully. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. No one had expected that the originally lively banquet would come to Lin City and Zi Yue one after another to steal the spotlight! Bai Wuheng¡¯s reputation had been swept clean. However, Bai Wuheng, who had bid for the big-ticket item, had rarely kept a low profile tonight. This made the younger generation of the Bai clan confused. ¡°Miss Zi Yue,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°Young Master Lin, please speak.¡± Zi Yue narrowed her eyes and replied Lin Mo gently. Huff¡­ Lin Mo could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. ¡°Master, this Zi Yue is so amazing! Does she know some charming technique or what? She smiled at me just now, and I almost fainted!¡± Wu Jin said with a pale face. Miao Qing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Is she even looking at you? What narcissism¡­¡± However, even Lin Mo felt that this Zi Yue was powerful. He thought of all the things he had done from Beginner¡¯s Heart Village to Lin City. Lin Mo was certain that this Zi Yue definitely did not come from the Purple Cloud Holy Land. In reality, there were quite a number of people who knew the Qinghuai Holy Land. It was said that the Zhao clan had once allied with the Qinghuai Holy Land. However, they had never heard of how powerful were the people who came from the holy land. Were they not ordinary people? Nonetheless, this Ziyue had an extraordinary bearing. In front of her, the family heads like Zhao Gongming and Qi Yueheng were like little rascals! Only Lin Mo could barely deal with them! Lin Mo instantly confirmed her identity. ¡®She¡¯s definitely from the Imperial City. If not, Hmm¡­ I won¡¯t talk about it anymore.¡¯ After making a judgment in his heart, Lin Mo began to carefully deal with her. ¡°Miss Zi Yue, since you¡¯re here on behalf of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, let¡¯s get straight to the point.¡± ¡°It just so happens that we still have some medicinal pills in our auction. The reason why I¡¯m here tonight is to clear out our stock and hold a temporary auction.¡± ¡°If Miss Zi Yue is interested, why don¡¯t you represent the Purple Cloud Holy Land and participate in the auction together?¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine too,¡± Zi Yue said politely. Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, and the others immediately rolled their eyes at Lin Mo. . ¡°I knew this fellow was full of evil tricks. So he¡¯s here to hold an auction¡­¡± He had just auctioned off a five million low-grade spiritual stones array, and now he was here to hold an auction? Did this Lin Mo really think that the three great clans operated a spiritual stone mine? Everyone was looking forward to it. After waiting for Lin Mo to take out the auction items, Lin Mo did not hesitate and took out a jade bottle from his waist, he grinned and said, ¡°What¡¯s in this bottle is a low-grade tier 4 small recovery pill. The user can recover a certain amount of vitality and use it as an ordinary person. It has the effect of reviving from the dead.¡± ¡°As the first item to be auctioned tonight, I won¡¯t raise the price. How about 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones?¡± The surroundings were in an uproar! Even Miao Qing could o¡¯t hold it in any longer. One had to know that the small recovery pill was a low-grade tier 4 pill! Although it could still be considered rare in the outside world, it was really nothing in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes! It could even be considered cheap! Such a cheap pill was actually bid for 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones? Was this daylight robbery? As expected, Qi Yueheng and the others, who had always been in an endless stream of auctions, almost spat out their wine when they heard the small recovery pill¡¯s price. They waved their hands and said that they would not bid any more. Chapter 150 - A 1.6 Million Pledge of Allegiance? Zi Yue was the only one who remained calm. She reached out her hand and said, ¡°Can you show me the quality of this small recovery pill?¡± Lin Mo was not at a disadvantage either. He raised his hand and asked Miao Qing to send the small recovery pill over. When Zi Yue opened the jade bottle, there were two small recovery pills inside. It was obvious that Qing Wen and Qing Wu were people who knew what was good for them. When they saw that the small recovery pill¡¯s starting price was 200,000, they felt that something was not right. They did not expect Zi Yue to be so good at acting! She actually had a pleasantly surprised expression and said excitedly, ¡°Such a high-quality pill actually only costs 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones?¡± ¡°Hearing that, Mr. Lin is kind-hearted. Seeing it today, it is indeed so¡­ if it is possible, I will buy the small recovery pills for the Purple Cloud Holy Land!¡± ¡®What? buy them?¡¯ ¡®Damn it!¡¯ Qi Yueheng and the rest broke out in cold sweat. They thought to themselves, ¡®Missy, can you even afford a pill that costs 200,000 spiritual stones?¡¯ This was a pill, and it was an emergency medicine! It could only be used once! It was not something like a medicinal bath that could be used for a long time. Was it not too extravagant? Seeing that Zi Yue bought out the small recovery pills in one bite, Wu Qun and Miao Qing were extremely surprised. Lin Mo was also very surprised, but he did not show it on his face. After all, Zi Yue said that she was buying it, but he had not seen the money yet. Then, he saw Zi Yue elegantly take out a fragrant money bag from her waist. Just as she placed it on the table, he heard a heavy sound. Zi Yue said apologetically, ¡°Mr. Lin, I am here on behalf of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. A money bag contains at least a million low-grade spiritual stones. These two small recovery pills cost 400,000, and Mr. Lin still has to give me 600,000 spiritual stones back, right??¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Qi Yueheng let out a horrifying sound and gave a thumbs up, ¡°The Purple Cloud Holy Land is actually so rich. As expected of a holy land. Tonight, we mortals have been enlightened!¡± Lin Mo also stared at the bag, and it did not seem like it was fake, ¡°Then may I ask if Miss Zi Yue still wants to buy it?¡± ¡°If you continue to buy, I¡¯m afraid that one bag is not enough.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± With another heavy sound, Zi Yue took out three bags and gathered a total of four bags. Everyone was stunned by what they saw, ¡°Mr. Lin is so kind to sell such top-grade medicinal pills at such a low price. Saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. How can our Purple Cloud Holy Land not support it?¡± This woman was so amazing! Lin Mo clearly knew that this Zi Yue was full of lies. She was definitely making things up. However, Lin Mo could not help but want to believe her. Moreover, this woman¡¯s charm was also very amazing. If it was anyone else who was staring at him, they would have long been daydreaming. It was already not easy for Lin Mo to still be able to think calmly. [ Congratulations on auctioning a low-grade tier 4 medicinal pill, small recovery pill. ] [ Obtained 5,000 times the profit. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining a mid-grade tier 5 medicinal pill, 13 Sword Strikes. ] ¡­ After obtaining 400,000 low-tier spiritual stones, Lin Mo did not have the time to be excited. Instead, he wanted to probe Zi Yue a little more. He took out another mid-grade tier 5 pill, 13 Sword Strikes. ¡°This pill is a mid-tier 5 pill, 13 Sword Strikes.¡± ¡°Just like its name suggests, the pill can only be used once, but it can instantly contain 13 sword intents! and each sword intent is different!¡± ¡°It¡¯s extremely powerful!¡± ¡°Previously, the family heads did not bid. This time, you shouldn¡¯t hesitate, right?¡± ¡°This is the 13 Sword Strikes! I¡¯ll bid 800,000! Those who are interested can start bidding!¡± 800,000?! Even though 800,000 was still a huge sum of money. However, Qi Yueheng and the others became serious this time. The products of the Lin auction house were definitely high quality. There was no trickery involved. Furthermore, based on what Lin Mo said, the 13 Sword Strikes could be used to save one¡¯s life! If used properly, it could even kill an opponent of a higher level and fight two opponents at the same time! Although it was expensive, there was indeed a reason for it to be expensive. ¡°I still have intentions,¡± Zi Yue said gently. However, Qi Yueheng stretched out his hand and said awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Zi Yue. Our Qi clan didn¡¯t gain much today.¡± ¡°Although this pill is expensive, it can save lives and kill people. It¡¯s a top-grade item. Even if we sell it, we won¡¯t lose out.¡± ¡°Our Qi clan will treat it as a business transaction¡­ 850,000!¡± Very good. Lin Mo was instantly satisfied. There was someone bidding, so this was an auction! However, Qi Yueheng¡¯s words made Zi Yue snort coldly, as if she was determined to get it. In an instant, she threw a bag onto Lin Mo¡¯s table. ¡°My Purple Cloud Holy Land has always hated snatching things from others.¡± ¡°One million¡­ Clan Leader Qi, you won¡¯t raise the price again, right?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Qi Yueheng¡¯s face was pale, thinking to himself, how could there be such a thing? Everyone was also discussing animatedly. They usually raised the price by 10,000 to 50,000. If they met something they really liked, or if their family gave them a mission, they would definitely bid for it. Only then would they consider raising the bid by 100,000! However, Zi Yue actually raised the bid from 850,000 to 1,000,000?! Although the four great clans were backed by the imperial city and held the resources of Lin City in their hands, they were still clans after all. Under Zi Yue¡¯s strong performance, Qi Yueheng was unwilling to accept it, but he could only accept it and helplessly clench his fists. ¡°F*ck,¡± Qi Yueheng said, ¡°This Purple Cloud Holy Land hides in the holy land all day long. What¡¯s the point of having the 13 Sword Strikes?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that this Zi Yue has taken a liking to Lin Mo and wants to cooperate with him! This is a pledge of allegiance!¡± Another 1,000,000 spiritual stones! [ Congratulations on auctioning the tier 5 mid-grade medicinal pill, 13 Sword Strikes. ] [ Obtained 7,000 times the profit. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining the tier 6 mid-grade medicinal pill, clear heart blood coagulation pill. ] [ Clear heart blood coagulation pill: can remove the negative state of the body in a short period of time, and solidify the blood to achieve the effect of feigning death. It can also be used in battle. By activating the clear heart blood coagulation pill, it can unleash a fatal blow. ] It was actually such a good item? Lin Mo did not expect that this return would actually produce such an extremely powerful medicinal pill in battle! Moreover, it was a tier 6 medicinal pill! No matter what, this thing could not be sold. After all, it could fake death, maintain one¡¯s consciousness, and even burst forth with an extremely great battle prowess! It was a top-grade medicinal pill that could protect one¡¯s self. ¡­ Three high-priced medicinal pills were bought, causing the others to turn their heads away. On the other hand, Qing Wen and Qing Wu looked extremely aggrieved. Clearly, they felt that these three medicinal pills were not worth this price. However, Zi Yue¡¯s attitude was exceptionally firm. She did not even bat an eyelid. This 1.6 million seemed to be given to Lin Mo. . This kind of magnanimity¡­ Who would believe that she was not from the Imperial City? Even if Lin Mo were to spend this money himself, his heart would still ache! ¡°Looks like there¡¯s still some gains from tonight¡¯s auction¡­¡± Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo laughed heartily. After returning the 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones to Zi Yue, he immediately made a move to flee! What a joke! If he did not flee after earning money through the difference in price, what was the point of him staying here? In truth, Lin Mo had already guessed that Zi Yue was most likely here for the array in his hands. However, he did not quite understand how Zi Yue knew that he had the array in his hands? Even if Zi Yue had found out through the news of Bai Wuheng¡¯s successful auction, was it not a little too extravagant to spend 1.6 million spiritual stones? Chapter 151 - Zi Yues Killing Intent Zi Yue definitely had a secret on her. If she was involved, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. ¡°Mr. Lin, wait a moment!¡± Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave, Zi Yue hurriedly urged him to stay. ¡°Mr. Lin is a very good person. This time, he sold three medicinal pills to my Purple Cloud Holy Land, which greatly improved my holy land.¡± ¡°I still have many matters to discuss with Mr. Lin¡­ why don¡¯t we meet upstairs?¡± Was she inviting him? Once these words were said, even Bai Wuheng, who had been silent for a long time, was a little shocked. It was because ¡®Zi Yue¡¯ had found a new puppet. Zi Yue wanted to use Lin Mo to replace the Bai clan¡¯s function. Lin Mo was also silent for a long time. He looked at Zi Yue¡¯s graceful figure, as well as the worried eyes of Wu Jin and Miao Qing¡­ ¡°Alright.¡± The men were envious. ¡°What right does he have?! This guy earns money and has beautiful women to accompany him! This time, it¡¯s a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land! I¡¯ve never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!¡± ¡°Why? Where did this guy get his luck from? First, he got so many rare treasures¡­ and now, he¡¯s getting beauties!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t even stand the sight of the new manager ofDrunken Immortal Restaurant! Sharing a room together? Is Lin Mo that honest?¡± Actually, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was a little shaken, but with his cultivation level, he could still suppress it. It was as if he knew what Zi Yue¡¯s true motive was. He had decided that once Zi Yue mentioned an array during the process, he would immediately leave. When necessary, he would even attack Zi Yue. This was because he did not rule out the possibility that Zi Yue and the forces behind her would kill and steal the treasure. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Lin,¡± Zi Yue said in satisfaction. The corners of her lips curled up in a bewitching manner as she slowly went upstairs. Looking at the group of envious men, Lin Mo asked Wu Jin and Miao Qing to stand guard downstairs. He deliberately said loudly, ¡°¡®Mr.¡¯ doesn¡¯t sound nice. You should call me ¡®young master¡¯ in the future.¡± ¡°Yes, Young Master Lin.¡± ¡°Wow`¡± This time, even Lin Mo himself was shocked. To be called ¡®young master¡¯ by a beautiful young lady¡­It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy! ¡­ In the boudoir¡­ Under Qing Wen and Qing Wu¡¯s vigilant gaze, Lin Mo had just stepped into the room when he felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously prepared to use the clear heart blood coagulation pill. It was not because of anything else. It was because this room was too new. It was as if they had just started living there. If that was really the case¡­ Zi Yue brought two beauties to Lin City and came looking for him. Was her motive not too obvious? If she said that there was no problem, even Zi Yue herself would not believe it. ¡°Young master, why must you be so cautious?¡± Seemingly noticing Lin Mo¡¯s caution, Zi Yue said softly. Lin Mo subconsciously squeezed out a smile, but his attention was diverted. At this moment, he suddenly felt his eyes darken. Just as he thought that something was wrong, his whole body went soft, and even his consciousness almost collapsed! A strange rosemary scent almost caused Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual sense to withdraw, and he could not control his body at all. Zi Yue, this woman, was still pretending. As she went up to hug Lin Mo, she said innocently, ¡°Ah! Young master, what happened to you?¡± Qing Wen and Qing Wu pulled out their swords skillfully and pressed them against Lin Mo¡¯s waist and neck. The coolness from the blade woke Lin Mo up. Damn it! How could someone as careful as Lin Mo fall into the trap here? Moreover¡­ Smelling the strange rosemary scent, Lin Mo instantly understood something. This knockout drug was definitely not something Zi Yue found an opportunity to use when Lin Mo entered the room. Instead, it had been on her all along. In fact, the reason why people felt that her charm skill was very strong¡­ Was because this charm skill was a kind of ¡®trigger¡¯ of the knockout incense! It was precisely because of this charm skill that she was able to trigger the knockout incense! It had already played a role in causing people to only be able to defend against the charm skill and ignore the knockout incense. Lin Mo often came into contact with top-grade medicinal pills. What kind of ingredients had he not come into contact with before? However, this fragrance was something that Lin Mo had never heard of before. From this, it could be seen that Lin Mo was quickly certain of an answer in his heart. This Zi Yue was not only from the imperial city, but it was also very likely from the imperial family! This knockout incense was definitely something that the imperial family did not announce! It was because the imperial family had many experts and were rich in resources, they were able to concoct a knockout incense that even experts like Lin Mo were unable to guard against! Lin Mo fainted in Zi Yue¡¯s embrace. He only felt that Zi Yue¡¯s delicate body was like a piece of soft jade, making him feel exceptionally comfortable. In addition, the three women quickly moved to the bed. On the bed, Zi Yue leaned against the headboard, causing Lin Mo to fall into her embrace in a daze. Qing Wen and Qing Wu were in charge of being on guard. They did not notice that the effects of the clear heart blood coagulation pill were unknowingly flowing into Lin Mo¡¯s body! ¡°Young Master Lin, can you hear me¡­¡± ¡°I want to know if Young Master Lin still has an array¡­¡± ¡°Our Purple Cloud Holy Land really needs a tier 7 array to defend against external enemies¡­¡± It was indeed related to arrays! A wave of vanilla smell suddenly entered the tip of Lin Mo¡¯s nose. When the clear heart blood coagulation pill took effect, Lin Mo still pretended to be affected and closed his eyes to sleep in Zi Yue¡¯s embrace. He felt Zi Yue gently caress his head as if she was coaxing a child, slowly enticing him to reveal the secret. Lin Mo was not sure whether Zi Yue wanted to kill him to silence him, or was she just trying to get the truth out of him? Just as Lin Mo was thinking of a countermeasure, the beautiful black-robed lady, Qing Wu suddenly said, ¡°Eight¡­ cough cough, master, why don¡¯t we just kill this fellow and take away all the things of the Lin family!¡± ¡°How can such an ant be worthy of the master¡¯s embrace? Qing Wu is truly feeling wronged on behalf of you!¡± ¡®Alright! You Qing Wu!¡¯ Qing Wu¡¯s words actually made Lin Mo want to kill her! A wave of sword intent appeared in his palm. Putting everything else aside, with his strength and the augmentation of the clear heart blood coagulation pill, it would be easy for him to burst out and instantly kill the three women. At most, he would be struck back and heavily injured. However, when Zi Yue rejected this idea, Lin Mo let out a cold moan and let the three ladies off. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this. I am a schemer and not a bandit. How can I do such despicable things?¡± ¡®Look at the situation of others!¡¯ As Lin Mo thought about this, he heard Qing Wu gnashing her teeth. She seemed to be very unhappy that Lin Mo was enjoying Zi Yue¡¯s embrace. He immediately laughed coldly and pretended to have a headache. He rubbed his head against Zi Yue¡¯s body and even placed his head on Zi Yue¡¯s white jade neck. It felt very comfortable. Qing Wu was furious as she watched this. Zi Yue also seemed to have little contact with men. Goosebumps appeared all over her body. Right at this moment¡­ Lin Mo quietly opened his eyes. He saw Zi Yue¡¯s milk-like skin, her beautiful figure, and a strange yellow pendant. Lin Mo wondered what this pendant was? Upon closer inspection, he was indeed shocked! ¡°This Zi Yue¡­ is actually¡­ a prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire?!¡± On Zi Yue¡¯s waist was a hidden royal pendant, which could also be called an identity card. Lin Mo was, after all, a person of status, and Miao Qing had once explained it to him. In the Yanhuang Divine Empire, there were a total of thirteen princes, and each prince had an identity card. Lin Mo had never seen the identity tokens of the others, but the second prince, fourth prince, and eighth Prince were the leaders of the Qi, Zhao, and Bai clans respectively. Lin Mo had paid attention to their identity tokens. Chapter 152 - The Heart of a Prince, the Body of a Woman The second prince¡¯s pendant was a dragon that was shaped like a phoenix, which meant to climb up to the ranks. After all, he was the second prince. How could he use a true dragon pendant to offend the crown prince¡¯s Dignity? The Yanhuang Divine Empire adopted the system of the eldest son inheriting the throne. Usually, when the emperor was not doing anything, the crown prince would supervise the country. The crown prince was very capable and managed the country well. This made the emperor very satisfied and protected the crown prince everywhere. In addition, there was not only one country in this era. When the people had nothing to do, they would talk about national affairs. It could be said that the second prince¡¯s thoughts were known to everyone! However, with the emperor¡¯s protection, the second prince did not dare to act rashly. The fourth prince was born to the prime minister¡¯s wife, Wang Xiaoxiao. The Wang family was a common surname in the Imperial City, so the fourth prince¡¯s pendant was similar to the word ¡®Wang¡¯. Due to the family¡¯s problems, the fourth prince should have taken the route of being the prime minister¡¯s assistant. However, he was also a prince, so he was ostracized everywhere and stayed away from the imperial court! As a result, the fourth prince complained about heaven and earth and fell in love with feng shui! However, everyone knew that the fourth prince was just using superstition to develop his own power. It was said that he was inextricably linked to the White Lotus Holy Land. The eighth prince¡¯s pendant was in the shape of a water dragon. It was said that the eighth prince had been weak and sickly since he was young, and his identity was mysterious. Not many people had seen him, but they all said that he had a feminine personality and was weak and incompetent! Naturally, the eighth prince was also the most ostracized. Especially after the second prince and the fourth prince formed a clique for personal gain, they were extremely wary of the eighth prince. Rumors in the pugilistic world said that the eighth prince was a woman, and the crown prince liked her very much, almost causing a disaster. This caused the emperor to be furious, and he did not like the eighth prince very much. There were also people who said that the eighth prince had cultivated a cultivation technique that required him to sever his own male genitals, angering the emperor. In short, there were many rumors about the eighth prince. However, Lin Mo had never expected that he would actually meet the real thing today¡­ Moreover, this eighth prince was not only a woman but also a great beauty! ¡°I won¡¯t get into trouble this time, right?¡± With Lin Mo¡¯s intelligence, he quickly guessed that the eighth prince was here to inspect Bai Wuheng. Moreover, the so-called ¡®Zi Yue¡¯ was also a completely fake name. However, the fact that the eighth prince cared so much about Lim Mo made him feel a little flattered. A dignified prince actually hugged him so gently? Moreover, he did not use torture to interrogate Lin Mo? ¡°Looks like Bai Wuheng is going to be unlucky¡­ This eighth prince is clearly trying to buy people¡¯s hearts. I¡¯m afraid he has taken a liking to our auction house.¡± The auction house had a large amount of people who came and go, which could be used to conceal one¡¯s identity. Moreover, Zi Yue was royalty, so she could obtain many good things from the Imperial City. Whether it was to make money or cash out, there were always many ways. No matter how one compared it, it was better than spending money to feed the Bai clan¡¯s trash. However, Zi Yue was here for the array. Lin Mo looked at his warehouse. Other than the array that the system had previously rewarded him with¡­ There was only a tier 7 mid-grade array left. ¡°Miss Zi Yue, I do have an array called the Mysterious Heaven Array.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not for defense, but for cultivation¡­ if Miss Zi Yue is the manager of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, bringing this Mysterious Heaven Array back to the Holy Land would be able to strengthen the holy land.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, Qing Wu and Qing Wen did not expect Lin Mo to really have a tier 7 mid-grade array! Among high-quality arrays, the teleportation spell arrays were the cheapest, and one could get someone to customize them at any time. The slightly more advanced one was the defensive arrays, and then the offensive arrays. The most advanced one was naturally the cultivation arrays! When Zi Yue heard this, her eyes instantly lit up, and she said in disbelief, ¡°You¡¯re saying that you have a cultivation array in your hands?¡± ¡°Tell me the truth, how big is this array? Is it enough for the holy land to use?¡± The holy land was a secret realm. The powerful holy land was endless and was formed by occupying ancient secret manuals. The man-made holy land was at least a few thousand square kilometers! ¡°It¡¯s enough to cover 20,000 square kilometers!¡± As Lin Mo said this, not only Zi Yue, even Qing Wen and Qing wu were stunned. ¡°Master, if this fellow isn¡¯t lying, it¡¯s just enough for your palace! Why don¡¯t we kill him, seize the array formation, and return home?¡± Why does this Qing Wu always want to kill him? ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to open a path for me, let alone ten thousand taels of gold, I can even get the saintess of the Purple Clouds Holy Land for you!¡± ¡®Bluffs huh? Continue bluffing.¡¯ Looking at Zi Yue¡¯s cold face, Lin Mo snickered in his heart. He already knew that Zi Yue was the legendary eighth prince. No matter how great attractive Zi Yue¡¯s conditions were, he would never believe it. Not to mention, there were four empires in this era. Although the Yanhuang Divine Empire was good, in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, the Great Yan Divine Empire next door was more suitable for the development of the auction house. He would definitely move to the Great Yan Divine Empire in the future, so he did not want to have anything to do with this beautiful prince. ¡°Young Master Lin, if this Mysterious Heaven Array was sold by auctioning, how much would it cost?¡± Seeing Zi Yue¡¯s interest, Lin Mo raised his brows. Zi Yue was a prince! Even if Zi Yue was ostracized again, she should not be short of money, right? As the saying goes, fortune favors the brave! Without hesitation, Lin Mo made a hand gesture. ¡°Eight, eight million?!¡± Even Qing Wu was shocked, and the sword was about to cut Lin Mo¡¯s throat. ¡°Do you really think the master is a fool?¡± ¡°You greedy b*stard! Do you know that Lin City¡¯s annual income is only four million low-grade spiritual stones?!¡± ¡°Those aristocratic families only borrowed the power of the Imperial City to amass wealth everywhere. They only earned seven million spiritual stones a year!¡± Eight million spiritual stones? Who could withstand that? Lin Mo did not expect to hear such information from Qing Wu. From the looks of it, the leaders of the three great clans in Lin City were all out of money. They had bought so many things, most likely to sell them off or expand their businesses. The Yanhuang Divine Empire was vast and had a lot of resources. There were many places that had yet to be opened up, and spiritual stone mountains were often excavated. Although spiritual stone mountains were the imperial court¡¯s business, there were also many people who used their private power to do it in private. The three great clans had accumulated their resources through the auction, so they could definitely cooperate to form a small force. If they had the intention, they could use this batch of resources to search for spiritual stone mountains and open up fertile land. This time, the three great clans would most likely take off! Therefore, when Lin Mo thought about the rise of the three great clans and the endless voices coming from the Lin auction house, Lin Mo had never thought of cooperating with Zi Yue. At most, he would just shed all pretenses of cordiality! A prince who was not liked, and was not afraid of the people within the eighth prince¡¯s sphere of influence¡­ if he wanted to scam someone, he could just do it! As expected¡­ ¡°Qing Wu¡­ shut up.¡± Zi Yue¡¯s expression was unsightly. Knowing that she had been scammed, Zi Yue still reluctantly agreed. ¡°Eight million needs to be dispatched, and I can¡¯t take it out at this time.¡± ¡°But Mr. Lin, don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t need this eight million. I just need to sell some materials¡­ If Mr. Lin is willing, I¡¯ll pay a three million deposit first. Mr. Lin, can you give me the array first?¡± Chapter 153 - The Death of Bai Wuheng! ¡°This¡­¡± Based on what Zi Yue said, was she trying to scam Lin Mo? Lin Mo definitely would not believe a single word of what the royal family said. He guessed that the so-called down payment was most likely the full amount. As for a tier 7 mid-grade formation, selling it for 8 million was definitely too expensive. However, selling it for 5 million was still a piece of cake. Zi Yue was so generous, yet she only wanted to use 3 million to buy this tier 7 mid-grade formation? It seemed like she was not as rich as she was rumored to be! ¡°It¡¯s possible, but you should come to the auction during the next auction.¡± ¡°Help our auction house attract some traffic.¡± ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± When Zi Yue heard this, she was clearly a little excited, so she did not stay in her room for too long. Instead, she controlled Lin Mo to sleep before leaving. However, she did not expect Lin Mo to be completely awake. After Zi Yue left, Lin Mo realized that Bai Wuheng might be in danger, so he hurriedly followed after her. ¡­ Outside the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed. Bai Wuheng walked in the Lin City gloomily. From time to time, he would look at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant from afar and think of countermeasures. This damned eighth prince actually came to Lin City personally. Moreover, was she not afraid afraid of the risk of exposing her secret when meeting Lin Mo? The most terrifying thing was that the eighth prince deliberately exposed the fact that she was a woman to Bai Wuheng. This meant that Bai Wuheng was in great danger! In the dark night, a spark appeared. Bai Wuheng¡¯s gaze focused, and he instantly turned his head. He saw a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long knife, silently looking at him. ¡°Executioner? How is this possible¡­ Isn¡¯t the executioner not under the orders of the Ministry of Justice?!¡± Bai Wuheng¡¯s expression was as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the mysterious person. However, logically speaking, his strength should not be weak! However, not long after, along with a blood-curdling scream at the entrance of the alley, Bai Wuheng let out a mournful scream. Black blood spewed out of his mouth as he tried his best to crawl towards the entrance of the alley. ¡°B*tch! You¡¯re so heartless!!¡± Bai Wuheng used all his strength to scream, but in the eyes of the man, it was just a struggle. Lin Mo watched this scene with his eyes wide open. In front of him were Zi Yue, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu, who were in the shadows. This powerful woman had actually used the manpower of the Ministry of Justice to execute Bai Wuheng. There seemed to be a lot of secrets in there. However, when he saw the mysterious person¡¯s cultivation technique, Lin Mo¡¯s hair also stood up. It was extremely beneficial. The mysterious person¡¯s attacks were swift and fierce, and each and every one of them was fatal. The movement technique merged with the darkness, making it difficult for one to see or hear. This movement technique was already strange enough. In addition, his long blade seemed to be used for execution! No wonder all the cultivators in the world were unwilling to provoke the imperial court. If it were him, he would not be willing either. The top-tier cultivation techniques and footwork displayed by the mysterious man were clearly better than what he had come into contact with. Lin Mo had to think of a way to trick Zi Yue and see if he could get a few cultivation techniques from her. Then, he could obtain more advanced cultivation techniques of the same kind through the auction. However, Bai Wuheng was about to die. Looking at Zi Yue¡¯s attitude, she was not even prepared to leave any last words for Bai Wuheng, much less meet him! Should he make a move this time or not? Lin Mo decided to wait for a while more. He could only say that Bai Wuheng was unlucky. If it were any other time, Lin Mo might have helped him. After all, the Bai clan was also a big customer of the auction house. However, the person who wanted him dead was the eighth Prince and the royal family. Then, Lin Mo could not help him even if he wanted to. ¡°However, this eighth prince is truly vicious and merciless. She used such a method to kill his own dog without leaving a trace.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no wonder Zi Yue had to personally handle everything. If she was careless, with the danger the royal family is in, the second prince would probably get rid of her.¡± Seeing how cold-blooded Zi Yue was, the legendary second prince would probably be even more ruthless. The emperor still did not like Zi Yue. It was likely that even if Zi Yue¡¯s corpse had already been delivered to the emperor, the Emperor still would not be bothered with her. The next day¡­ Early in the morning, the entrance of the Lin auction house was already crowded. Over a dozen auction house guards registered at the entrance to maintain order. ¡°Lord Zhao has arrived!¡± ¡°The Xiao clan¡¯s clan leader is here!¡± ¡°The Bai clan¡¯s first elder is here!¡± ¡°The Bai clan¡¯s second elder is here!¡± Following the shouts at the entrance, the interior of the auction house slowly filled up with people. All the family heads were present, except for Bai Wuheng. Yesterday, Bai Wuheng¡¯s behavior was abnormal, and everyone guessed that he was reprimanded by someone sent by the eighth prince. It was very likely that this person was that great beauty, Zi Yue, who had appeared in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant last night! It was possible that the eighth prince even wanted to hide the Bai family. Under Miao Qing¡¯s arrangement, the requirements for participating in the auction this time were very high. They had to be a person of high status or a person of great wealth. Those who did not have much money on them and still wanted to come in to make up the numbers were not allowed to enter. The specific criteria was to spend at least 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones! In other words, it was the so-called ¡®low consumption¡¯. As long as the auction item was not auctioned off, every participant had the obligation to complete the low consumption. Even though this would offend a lot of people, Miao Qing did not care about it at all. All he cared about was that his auction would be held normally. Furthermore, those fellows who could not afford 200,000 were probably just here to watch the show or gather intelligence. With so many good items in Lin Mo¡¯s hands, there was no need to worry about not having anyone bid. Very quickly, the entire auction hall was filled with people. Not a single empty seat was left. The people inside were all important figures from all over the world. The main ones were the three great clans of Lin City. There were also dozens of small clans that came out to seek opportunities for development. Of course, there were also quite a number of powerful freelance martial artists who passed by Lin City. They heard that there was an incredible auction house here, so they came over to take a look. All in all, every single one of the distinguished guests were important figures. In the private room, Miao Qing was holding a list in his hand. The list was filled with names, including their identities. Beside him, Lin Mo was quietly guarding the side, his gaze filled with Zi Yue, who was sitting in the front row. Yesterday, she said that she would pay Lin Mo a deposit for a tier 7 mid-grade array at the price of 3,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Should she keep his word? Or should she play some tricks? Lin Mo was not worried about anything else. He just did not want Zi Yue, this woman, to get involved with him, in case it would be difficult for him to escape. Meanwhile, Wu Jin was sitting next to Miao Qing with a calm expression, eating some fruits from time to time. ¡°There¡¯s a young master and a second young master from the Bai clan?¡± ¡°There¡¯s also a young master and a great elder from the neighboring Huaian City.¡± ¡°Eh, there¡¯s actually a wandering cultivator? He seems to be quite powerful?¡± Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared in Miao Qing¡¯s eyes. ¡°I seem to remember this person¡­¡± ¡°Jiang Kun, a famous great thief. He cultivates a swift movement technique and can come and go without a trace. His strength isn¡¯t bad!¡± ¡°This person is quite interesting huh?¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said. Miao Qing revealed a surprised expression. This was a great thief! A thief! After taking charge of the Lin auction house, Miao Qing had become more and more interested in the industry and was prepared to make it his lifelong career. Chapter 154 - This Godson Is Not Bad! Miao Qing would not even notice this person! ¡°We have to be careful of this person.¡± ¡°This person will definitely not be honest when he comes to participate in the auction.¡± On the side, when Wu Jin heard Tian Feng¡¯s name, his face could not help but reveal a trace of solemnity. ¡°Oh, why?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo said with interest. ¡°Young master probably doesn¡¯t know this person¡¯s reputation. For so many years, Jiang Kun relied on his own strength to plunder everywhere, and even some aristocratic families weren¡¯t spared.¡± Miao Qing slowly told him about Jiang Kun¡¯s deeds. ¡°So that means this person is very rich?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. In Lin Mo eyes, it did not matter who this person was, as long as they had the money to take down his auction items. Of course, if this Jiang Kun dared to disobey the rules of his auction house, Lin Mo would not be polite to him either! Seeing that Lin Mo did not take his reminder to heart, Miao Qing felt a mountain of pressure. He wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Lin Mo. ¡°Since everyone is here, it¡¯s time for you to appear.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo looked at Wu Jin and said, ¡°Wu jin, hand over the management rights of this auction house to Miao Qing. I want to observe from here.¡± ¡°Also, about that array that I told you about, put it aside until the end before taking it out.¡± ¡°Help me arrange for people to look for a person wearing a bamboo hat nearby.¡± ¡°Yes, master.¡± Upon hearing this, Wu Jin did not hesitate at all and directly followed Miao Qing. Miao Qing took the ring and looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. ¡°Young master, this ring¡­¡± ¡°When you go on stage later, use this ring as the first item in the auction,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared in Miao Qing¡¯s beautiful eyes. ¡°Young master, what background does this Zi Yue have?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. Just follow the normal procedure,¡± Lin Mo said somewhat casually. ¡°Then young master, how should we set the starting price?¡± This time, Miao Qing was in a bit of a dilemma. He had set the starting price for this auction house to be low. Moreover, Lin Mo had handed over many cultivation techniques, pills, and items to Miao Qing to arrange. Although Miao Qing was experienced, he did not have much confidence in setting the starting price. ¡°Let¡¯s set the starting price at 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment and said indifferently, ¡°No matter how bad an item is, it shouldn¡¯t be lower than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Yes, young master.¡± Although Miao Qing had some doubts in his heart, he still did as he was told. Following that, Miao Qing slowly walked out of the private room and came to the auction stage in the middle of the auction. ¡°Welcome to the auction of the Lin auction house.¡± He took out a black ring that Lin Mo had given him. ¡°The first item up for auction is this black ring on my hand. This ring¡¯s origin is mysterious, it might contain some big secret.¡± ¡°The auction will begin now. The starting price will be 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Miao Qing had come into contact with many items before, and he knew that this ring was not of much use, so he immediately called out the starting price. Then, as soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, the entire auction hall descended into silence. Everyone looked at the black ring on Miao Qing¡¯s hand with a puzzled expression. They had never seen this black ring before, and they did not know where it came from, so naturally, no one dared to call out the starting price rashly. Although the starting bid was only 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and it was not expensive, if they were to bid for a useless item, it would be a waste of 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. However, there was an exception. ¡°11,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Beside Bai Wuya, Bai Wuxuan saw the black ring appear, and he immediately stood up to bid. Hearing Bai Wuxuan¡¯s bid, everyone in the auction hall was somewhat surprised. Even Miao Qing, who was on the auction stage, had a look of surprise on his face. This Bai Wuya was the third elder of the Bai clan. Since Bai Wuheng was not around today, Bai Wuya could only do it for him. Bai Wuxuan was Bai Wuheng¡¯s godson. He had become famous in the Bai clan since he was young, and his abilities were outstanding. From the looks of it, he also had a dignified appearance. However, because he did not support Bai Wuheng and the eighth prince¡¯s cooperation, he should seek refuge with the second prince. He would not be placed in an important position in the Bai clan. Lin Mo gave Bai Wuxuan a deep look and sneered, ¡°This Bai Wuxuan¡¯s judgment is correct¡­ I didn¡¯t expect that Bai Wuheng would not be able to see it as clearly as his own godson.¡± If Lin Mo were to choose, he would choose the second prince as well. Bai Wuheng hoped to take advantage of the eighth prince¡¯s weak position and instead be placed in an important position by the eighth prince, leading the family to soar. It was definitely an incompetent move. Meanwhile, at the auction house. Initially, Miao Qing did not see anyone bidding. In his opinion, this ring was most likely going to fail. Bai Wuxuan¡¯s sudden appearance to bid gave him a pleasant surprise. Otherwise, it would be too awkward if the first item in this auction failed to be auctioned, and this was the first time he was completely confident in setting the price. ¡°Wuxuan, what do you want this black ring for?¡± Bai Wuya looked at Bai Wuxuan in surprise. Bai Wuya could not help but want the ring on Miao Qing¡¯s hand because he remembered that Bai Wuheng had said it before. If he had the chance to buy a ring or a pendant at the Lin auction house, he had to buy it. It was because it was very likely related to the storage space. ¡°Elder, I¡¯ll explain it to you in detail when I get back. In short, this ring is most likely a spatial ring and is very important to me,¡± Bai Wuxuan said solemnly, ¡°Elder, can you give it to me?¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Bai Wuya was stunned when he heard that, and he immediately agreed to Bai Wuxuan¡¯s request. It was only ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Even if Bai Wuheng was not around, it was nothing to the Bai clan. After Bai Wuxuan called out the price, the entire auction fell into silence again. Other than Bai Wuya and Bai Wuxuan of the Bai clan, no one knew what this ring was. Naturally, they did not want to spend more than 10,000 to buy it. This was how auctions were. It was no different from gambling. Sometimes, there were some special cultivation methods and tools. It was one thing for the auction house to quote the price, but it was another thing for the actual value. [ Congratulations on auctioning your spatial ring. ] [ You have received 3,000 times the profit. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining a Purple-Gold Spatial Ring. ] [ Spatial ring: can Store 500 x 500 items ] [ Purple-Gold Spatial Ring: Can Store 50, 000 x 50,000 items, living things, and small-scale arrays. ] Chapter 155 - Bai Wuxuan’s Request! 50,000? Lin Mo took a closer look and discovered that the 50,000 was extremely flexible. It could be space, or it could be quality. In fact, if Lin Mo was willing, he could hide a person inside! However, the person hiding inside the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring would die very quickly. He had to find a solution, as it was the same for other living creatures. At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly thought of the clear heart blood coagulation pill! If he had this thing, he would be able to hide the person in the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring! Moreover, the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring clearly had a higher-level version. The effects of this ring would definitely be extremely perverse. ¡°These two fellows have good taste.¡± Lin Mo looked at Bai Wuya and Bai Wuxuan with approval. He thought that since these two were sent by the second prince, they seemed to be more powerful than the other members of the Bai clan. They might be able to come into contact with the second prince. However, the Bai clan¡¯s business was huge. Even if Bai Wuheng fell, it would not be easy for them to be replaced in a short period of time. Would Zi Yue support the puppets and temporarily let someone lead the Bai clan? This was still unknown. ¡°This woman, Zi Yue, is really troublesome.¡± ¡°Ever since she came, I can¡¯t stand on either side.¡± ¡°This woman¡­ Why doesn¡¯t she know how to just watch from the side?¡± Lin Mo shook his head, but then he thought of Zi Yue¡¯s embrace. 1 This beauty¡¯s body was great! After finishing the first auction step, the auction hall entered a short break. Lin Mo also took advantage of this moment to play a trick with a smile. He took out the Purple-gold Spatial Ring. Then, he tore off the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array! The second half was placed into the Purple-gold Spatial Ring. ¡°Master, what are you¡­ ?¡± Miao Qing was stunned. This was a tier 7 mid-grade array! It was torn apart by Lin Mo? If Zi Yue found out about this, she would probably faint from anger! ¡°What do you know?¡± Lin Mo grinned. ¡°This is called buy one get one free!¡± ¡°When the time comes, just say, that the second half of this formation will not be able to come out from the Purple-gold Spatial Ring!¡± ¡°The Purple-gold Spatial Ring still needs blood to recognize its owner¡­ Won¡¯t she have to pay more to buy it?¡± What a joke. 3,000,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy his tier 7 mid-grade array? Is there such a good thing in the world? During the break, Bai Wuxuan did not slack off either. He came to the VIP room upstairs and wanted to see Lin Mo! ¡°Let him in,¡± Lin Mo said curiously. The moment he saw Lin Mo, Bai Wuxuan bowed with extreme respect! Bai Wuxuan was one of the most outstanding juniors of the Bai clan. Lin Mo was his enemy, right? Bai Wuxuan went straight to the point. He stood respectfully in front of Lin Mo and said, ¡°Manager Lin, haven¡¯t you noticed anything strange in the past two days?¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°You might as well be more straightforward.¡± He saw Bai Wuxuan looking awkwardly at Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen downstairs. ¡°Ever since the lady boss of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant came, master Bai has disappeared.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the two women beside this woman came from the Imperial City¡­ You probably don¡¯t know this, but we know each other.¡± ¡°And then?¡±Ling Mo asked. He saw Bai Wuxuan make an unreasonable request. ¡°Elder Bai and I hope that Manager Lin can persuade the Lin family to look for Master Bai.¡± ¡°At least confirm whether Master Bai is alive or dead.¡± In fact, Bai Wuxuan already had an answer in his heart. However, if Bai Wuheng was alive, Bai Wuxuan wanted to see the person; if Bai Wuheng was dead, he wanted to see the corpse. ¡°Manager Lin, you have to help this time. Even if you don¡¯t want to help, you have to help!¡± Bai Wuxuan said in a pleading tone, ¡°If you are willing to help, our Bai clan and the Lin family can form an alliance! We can fight against foreign enemies together!¡± However, Lin Mo replied coldly, ¡°Your Bai clan is not a clan that knows how to repay kindness, and so is the Zhao clan.¡± ¡°The reason why you came to me is because of your own interests. Why are you pretending to care about the overall situation?¡± On the auction stage, after a short break, Miao Qing continued the auction of the spatial ring. Bai Wuxuan was also chased away by Lin Mo, and he sighed as he returned to his seat. Seeing that no one continued to raise the price, he stopped when he saw that there was no one else. He said softly, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?¡± ¡°If not, then this mysterious ring will belong to this mister.¡± Seeing this, Bai Wuxuan heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this ring would definitely be profitable. Following the successful auction of the black ring, a smile appeared on Miao Qing¡¯s face. Just as the black ring was successfully auctioned, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Ding, Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off your spatial ring. ] [ Due to the host auctioning off a spatial item for the first time¡­ ] [ You have received a Super Gift Pack from the system. ] [ The Super Gift Pack has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note of it. ] ¡°Super Gift Pack?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback. It seemed like there would be a special reward after auctioning off a spatial item! With a thought, his consciousness immediately entered the system space. In the system space, a gigantic ball of light was floating in the air, emitting an incomparably resplendent light. ¡°This is the Super Gift Bag?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes revealed an excited expression as he sized up the system¡¯s super grand gift bag in front of him. [ Ding, host, do you wish to open the Super Gift Bag? ] Just as Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness saw the huge ball of light, the system sent out another notification. ¡°Open!¡± Hearing this, Miao Qing¡¯s eyes revealed a curious expression. He really wanted to see just how big this so-called system gift bag was? [ Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully opening the Super Gift Bag. ] [ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the blacksmith master¡¯s inheritance. ] [ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a spiritual power cultivation method, Soul-Devouring Art. ] [ All items have been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note and check. ] Following a series of system notifications, Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded. Master blacksmith¡¯s inheritance? The Soul-Devouring Art? At this moment, Lin Mo heard the system notification, and his gaze became a little dull. After carefully checking, he realized. It turned out that spatial tools in this world had to be forged using spiritual power. The inheritance of a master blacksmith allowed Lin Mo to have the ability to forge spatial items. However, he had to design blueprints. After that, Miao Qing continued to host the auction. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the tier 2 Qi boosting powder. ] [ Congratulations, host, for triggering the 7000-fold rebate. ] [ Obtained the tier 5 Pill battle king pill. ] [ Congratulations, you have obtained the spatial item blueprint fragmentx 1] 1 [ Every 10 blueprints fragments can be freely exchanged for one blueprint within the spatial item blueprint. ] At this moment, the sound of a system notification rang out, causing Lin Mo to finally regain his senses. However, at this moment, Lin Mo was completely uninterested in any tier 5 medicinal pill. His eyes were burning as he looked at the additional item within the system space, before a wild joy surfaced on his face. Lin Mo dared to guarantee that as long as he gathered all the spatial blueprints, he would be able to produce them. Any one of them would be able to cause a huge storm on the entire continent! Chapter 156 - Mysterious Spatial Tool! ¡°Calm down, calm down¡­¡± In his excitement, Lin Mo muttered to himself, forcing himself to calm down. A moment later, Lin Mo finally calmed down. He looked at the fragment in front of him, a look of contemplation flashing through his eyes. Could this fragment be used to trade? Then maybe he could form a fragment market for spatial tools? In the end, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and slowly withdrew his consciousness from the system space. Now that Zi Yue was at the auction, there might be people from the Imperial City sneaking in to spy on them. There were too many people and too many eyes. Furthermore, spatial tools were extremely rare and were a must-have item for every cultivator! If they were to be exposed, they might get into trouble. Hence, Lin Mo decided to wait until the auction was over before looking for a place with no one around. Only when it was safe would he be able to find out the truth. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning a tier 3 medicinal pill, spirit recovery pill. ] [ Congratulations, host, for triggering a 7,000-fold rebate. ] [ You obtained a Tier 6 medicinal pill, mystic yellow pill. ] [ Congratulations, you have obtained a spatial item blueprint x 1] Just as Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness exited the system space, the system notification sounded out in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. It turned out that just as Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness entered the system space, Miao Qing had already started the third round of the auction. Mystic yellow pill? The effects of the mystic yellow pill flashed through Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The effects of the mystic yellow pill could allow a cultivator to increase their strength by one to two ranks. If it was before, Lin Mo would still be a little excited to be able to obtain a mystic yellow pill. However, at this moment, there was not a single ripple in his heart. ¡°Wu Jin, you¡¯ve worked hard during this period of time. You can take this mystic yellow pill.¡± With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. It contained the mystic yellow pill. As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Qing threw the jade bottle in his hand to Wu Jin. 1 With Wu Jin¡¯s current strength, after consuming the mystic yellow pill, his cultivation level would probably soar! ¡°What? Mystic yellow pill?¡± Wu Jin subconsciously took the jade bottle. When he heard Lin Mo¡¯s words, he instantly reacted, and his cold face couldn¡¯t help but reveal a shocked expression. He had naturally heard of the mystic yellow pill, and he clearly knew its uses. ¡°Master¡­¡± Wu Jin was grateful and was about to say something. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s just a mere tier 6 pill. There¡¯s no need to say anything more.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and said indifferently. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s attitude instantly made Wu Jin hold back what he wanted to say. ¡°Alright, master, you¡¯re too generous.¡± Wu Jin silently put away the mystic yellow pill, his heart filled with excitement. After taking this profound yellow pill, he would be able to break through. In a short while, he would be able to take charge of his own affairs! Regarding breaking through, Wu Jin¡¯s heart was filled with confidence. At this moment, Miao Qing had already started the fourth round of the auction. ¡°Next, the auction for the fourth item will begin.¡± As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, a maid slowly walked up to the auction stage with a wooden box in her hand. Everyone looked at the wooden box in the servant girl¡¯s hand with anticipation in their eyes. The tier 2 medicinal pills and tier 3 medicinal pills from before had almost no attraction to the people present. Their purpose of coming here was only for cultivation techniques, arrays, and the like. With this thought in mind, everyone turned their gazes to the auction stage. Miao Qing smiled slightly and directly walked over to open the wooden box. He smiled and said, ¡°This time¡¯s auction level is a tier 6 cultivation technique, Dragon Seal Fist!¡± As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, the crowd immediately became restless. Dragon Seal Fist? Finally, something good appeared. Everyone present looked excitedly at the wooden box in Miao Qing¡¯s hand, their eyes burning with excitement. On the auction stage, looking at the expectant expressions on everyone¡¯s faces, Miao Qing¡¯s lips curled into a smile. This auction had just begun? The main event was about to begin. Thinking of this, Miao Qing no longer hesitated and said, ¡°Let¡¯s begin the auction of the Dragon Seal Fist. The starting price is 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The moment Miao Qing¡¯s voice fell, the entire auction began to boil. ¡°600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The first to speak was Qi Yueheng. At this moment, Qi Yueheng was no longer as steady as before. A hint of excitement appeared on his face. However, before Qi Yueheng could finish his words, he was quickly surpassed by someone. ¡°700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°800,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°900,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Which one of the people present was not an influential figure? It directly caused the price to soar. Seeing this scene, a trace of seriousness flashed across Qi Yueheng¡¯s face. ¡°Looks like today will be a tough battle.¡± Then, he took a deep breath and shouted, ¡°1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± In just a few breaths, the price of the Dragon Seal Fist had been raised to 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones! On the auction stage, when Miao Qing saw this crazy scene, he could not help but feel ecstatic. ¡°Today¡¯s auction is destined to be not simple!¡± At the auction, the price of the Dragon Seal Fist was still soaring. 1,100,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones! 1,300,000 low-grade spiritual stones! At this moment, his face was completely red, and he was clearly a little nervous. 2,000,000! Following Qi Yueheng¡¯s bid, there was a slight pause in the auction. Seeing this, Qi Yueheng¡¯s heart was filled with joy, and a trace of a smile could not help but appear on his face. ¡®Looks like my imposing manner has suppressed the crowd.¡¯ Then, before he could be happy for too long, a series of voices caused the smile on his face to freeze. ¡°2,100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°2,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°2,300,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ The shouting did not stop because of Qi Yueheng¡¯s bid. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and the speed of the price soaring also became faster and faster. ¡°First elder, what should we do?¡± On the side, a trace of anxiety appeared on the face of the second elder of the Qi clan, Jin Tao. Seeing this, Qi Yueheng¡¯s face could not help but show a hint of ruthlessness. The next moment, he directly shouted, ¡°2.5 million low-Jin Tao!¡± His Qi clan was definitely going to get this Dragon Fist Seal this time. It was useless no matter who came! 2.5 million! Following the Qi clan¡¯s first elder¡¯s shout of 2.5 million, the auction house instantly fell into silence. To be honest, as an auction item that could be imparted to everyone, the price was not too expensive. However, the important thing was that someone was bidding. Previously, Qi Yueheng had not received too many items. Since Bai Wuheng was unlucky, it was naturally time for him to make his move! If it was in the past, they would definitely not hesitate and would still fight for it with all their might. It seemed that they had obtained the Dragon Seal Fist. However, before Qi Yueheng could be happy for too long, his expression suddenly froze. ¡°3.1 million!¡± A voice suddenly sounded. Qi Yueheng focused his gaze and a trace of anger flashed across his eyes. ¡°Our Huaian City¡¯s Duanmu clan wants it!¡± The person who called out the price was from the Huaian City¡¯s Duanmu clan. Huaian City was located in the southeast of Lin City and was relatively far away. However, the Duanmu clan¡¯s business groups were spread throughout the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire! Chapter 157 - That’s Right, I Treat All of You Like Idiots! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Clan leader Qi, but my Duanmu clan also needs this Dragon Seal Fist, so I won¡¯t give in.¡± The Duanmu clan member grinned, and a hint of confidence appeared on his face. In terms of strength, the Duanmu clan naturally could not compare to the Qi clan. However, if the Qi clan continued to fight with him, their money would be gone, then the good stuff in the future would have nothing to do with the Qi clan. In addition, after the Bai clan bought the array, their financial resources had bottomed out, so they were no longer a threat. Therefore, he was somewhat fearless. ¡°Elder, how much money does our Qi clan still have from the second prince¡¯s assistance?¡± Qi Yueheng asked coldly. The first elder immediately counted the accounts. Two months ago, the second prince¡¯s business group came once and brought a large amount of aid to the Qi clan. He also deliberately warned that if anyone dared to shake the Qi clan¡¯s position in the four great clans of Lin City¡­ He would fight against them and send someone to report to him. He would not sit idly by! Who was the second prince? He was a rich man who even had tens of millions of spiritual stones! What was Qi Yueheng afraid of? However, Qi Yueheng also knew that with the talent of the Qi clan disciples, it was a problem whether they could all learn the Dragon Seal Fist. ¡°3.2 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Qi Yueheng continued to bid unwillingly. ¡°3.3 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The Duanmu clan members continued to bid. ¡°3.4 million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Qi Yueheng¡¯s face turned gloomy. He knew that he could no longer follow them. If he continued to follow them, the Qi clan would not have any financial revenue for a period of time. ¡°Hehe, 3,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± After the Duanmu clan made the price, Qi Yueheng finally gave up and fell silent. Upon seeing this, a smug look appeared on the face of the Duanmu clan member. With the Dragon Seal Fist in his hand, his purpose of this trip had been achieved. As for the good stuff that came after that, the Duanmu clan did not care about it at all. The Duanmu clan had traveled far and wide and had met quite a number of financial backers. It was said that there was a very wealthy martial monk clan in the Great Yan Divine Empire, and perhaps it would be a perfect match for this Dragon Fist Seal! He was already very satisfied to be able to obtain this dragon fist seal. ¡°This gentleman bids 3,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who would like to continue bidding?¡± In the morning, Miao Qing saw that the auction had quieted down, so he called out. ¡°Since no one is bidding, then I announce that this Dragon Seal Fist belongs to this gentleman.¡± Miao Qing announced the final result. The instant Miao Qing finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning a tier 6 cultivation technique, Dragon Seal Fist. ] [ Congratulations, host, for triggering a 7,000-fold rebate. ] [ Obtained a tier 7 low-grade cultivation technique, Mountain Quaking Fist. ] [ Congratulations, you have obtained a spatial item blueprint x 1] Lin Mo did not expect that Qi Yueheng actually had a fortune! If that was the case, the richest Qi Yueheng could only fork out around three million. Then, the Zhao family should be able to fork out around two million. If the Bai family still wanted to continue living in Lin City, they would at most be able to fork out around seven hundred thousand. This was the final savings of the three great families in Lin City. ¡°I¡¯ve earned enough money, it¡¯s time to spend it¡­¡± Lin Mo planned. If the three great clans really emptied out all their wealth¡­ It would definitely not be a good thing for Lin City. The most obvious thing was that the enthusiasm of the cultivators would decrease, and the economy around Lin City would also be affected. However, Lin City was not the only city in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Lin Mo had already decided that he would take advantage of the time when the three great clans were lacking in financial resources. He would purchase large amounts of land and resources. Then, he would think of a way to separate his business from the Lin family and walk out of Lin City, opening up a bigger world! When he heard the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo¡¯s heart moved slightly. Mountain Quaking Fist? Tier 7 cultivation technique? ¡®It¡¯s alright, it barely caught my eye.¡¯ Now, even after hearing the name of the tier 7 cultivation technique, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was no longer as excited as before. After all, he used a sword, and he actually did not have any use for things like fist techniques. However, he could not expose these rare cultivation techniques too early to avoid disturbing the market price. Otherwise, with the Duanmu clan being so rich, he could sell them all to the Duanmu family. At this moment, Lin Mo did not even have the thought of entering the system space to check. His gaze was still fixated on the auction in front of him. At the auction, after Miao Qing announced the results, the next round of auctions quickly entered. ¡­ Half an hour later, the entire auction came to an end. Lin Mo and Miao Qing exchanged glances, indicating for the Mysterious Heaven Array to be auctioned off. However, it was only the first portion¡­ As for Qi Yueheng¡¯s three million savings, he did not spend it. He only used 800,000 to buy some medicinal pills, medicinal baths, and other supporting items. He felt a little regretful. After seeing the last item, everyone was very excited! They saw the Mysterious Heaven Array emitting a mysterious purple light that dazzled everyone. Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen had been waiting for a long time. They glared at Lin Mo with dissatisfaction. However, Lin Mo did not care. ¡°There will be a time for you to break the defense later.¡± ¡°The next item up for auction is a low-grade tier 7 array, the Mysterious Heaven Array¡¯s first part !¡± ¡°The starting price is three million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± There was an uproar at the scene. The Duanmu family, who was about to leave, also looked at the array in Miao Qing¡¯s hand in disbelief. It was a tier 7 array? If they had seen a level 7 array in the Imperial City, it would not be particularly strange. However, this was in Lin City! The head of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Qian, looked at Lin Mo meaningfully. ¡°This little Lin City actually has such a divine item.¡± ¡°This manager is indeed not simple.¡± The servant next to him said, ¡°Elder, do you want to make contact with Manager Lin?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Duanmu Qian said. He originally wanted to see the auction venue of the Mysterious Heaven Array , but he still came to the lounge ahead of time. Below the stage, Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen were anxious! They looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. ¡°Master, we¡¯ve been played! This b*stard only sold the first half¡­ and the first half costs three million low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°Does he think we¡¯re Idiots?¡± ¡®That¡¯s right, I think you guys are idiots!¡¯ Lin Mo also looked into his eyes without any hesitation. Then, Wu Jin sent a message. The head of the Duanmu clan¡¯s business group, Elder Duanmu Qian, invited Lin Mo to meet him in the lounge. Lin Mo left without hesitation. In front of Miao Qing, Zi Yue was more anxious than anyone else. She heard Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming discussing whether they should pay for the upper and lower parts of the array together. Moreover, there was a high probability that the lower portion would depreciate in value after obtaining the upper portion. In fact, they could even decipher a small portion of the lower portion from the upper portion. Then, they would treat it as if they had spent three million to buy a tier 6 high-grade cultivation technique that could continuously increase in value! It would not be a loss! Chapter 158 - The Openly Traitorous Duanmu Family! However, the more she thought about it, the more anxious Zi Yue became. Without waiting for Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming to bid, she raised her hand. ¡°Four million!¡± Once she said it, there was no going back on her word. Zi Yue knew that she had been scammed by Lin Mo¡­ Coincidentally, she had also prepared to scam Lin Mo previously¡­ Just as Lin Mo had guessed, she only wanted to use three million to buy a complete tier 7 cultivation array. However, how could there be such a good thing in this world? ¡­ Without hearing the intense competition in the VIP auction room, Lin Mo was currently in the lounge meeting with the Duanmu clan. After Duanmu Qian saw Lin Mo, he politely extended his hand while being surrounded by a group of his clansmen. ¡°I¡¯ve long heard that Manager Lin is a young hero. Seeing you today, you really left a deep impression on me.¡± No matter who it was, when they saw Lin Mo, they had to be polite. This was a treatment that even Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming did not have¡­ What kind of family was the Duanmu family? That was a professional business group that operated in several countries! It was somewhat similar to Lin Mo¡¯s previous life as a financial capitalist. However, before Lin Mo could return the courtesy, Duanmu Qian pushed an incomparably beautiful young lady from behind him. ¡°We need to pay our respects at our first meeting. This is prepared for Manager Lin. In the future, I¡¯ll personally take care of Manager Lin. Perhaps, you can help Manager Lin with some paperwork.¡± Sending a beauty right off the bat? The young lady¡¯s name was Duanmu Jia, but she was only fifteen. In this era, it was possible for her to get married. However, compared to an ordinary young lady, Duanmu Jia appeared much more mature. She had a scholarly air about her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we are definitely not setting up spies. This is a tradition of our Duanmu clan, and we only give it to our most distinguished guests.¡± ¡°Jiajia has a gentle temperament, and she has excellent clerical and business skills. Moreover, unlike many women in the family, Jiajia is willing to accept her fate, so she will be very loyal.¡± ¡°Manager Lin, please accept this big gift!¡± Just as Duanmu Qian said, Duanmu Jia¡¯s looks, temperament, and ability were all above 95 points. Even compared to Qing Wu and Qing Wen, who were beside Zi Yue, she was not inferior. Most importantly, Duanmu Jia¡¯s figure was excellent. She had obviously learned dance before, and her cultivation level was not high either. She was extremely easy to control. Just like this, she actually mastered so many skills. She was a living genius! He did not accept or reject it. Lin Mo only felt that the Duanmu clan was very impressive. He said bluntly, ¡°Elder, did you see that our Lin auction house really needs talents?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Duanmu Qian did not hide it. ¡°Although the items auctioned by the Lin auction house are all top-notch, they are still lacking in all aspects¡­ That¡¯s why we are giving away our beauties.¡± Lin Mo suddenly remembered. The Duanmu clan seemed to do everything, including selling men and women to other places. However, compared to ordinary human traffickers, the Duanmu clan was more extreme. To outsiders, they would not use coercive means. It was more like a type of business like selling their bodies. To the juniors in the family, they had to force the girls to be gifted to others. The girls had to wholeheartedly assist them, ensuring the prosperity of the family for a thousand years. ¡°I¡¯ve also heard of the Duanmu clan¡¯s financial management and management capabilities. Compared to Jiajia, those capabilities will bring many surprises to our Lin auction house, right?¡± Since Duanmu Qian had repeatedly requested, Lin Mo did not refuse. He also wanted to see what kind of capabilities the Duanmu clan had and what kind of young people they could nurture. It was good to broaden one¡¯s horizons. Otherwise, one would always think that the four great families of Lin City were the most outstanding. The world was very big. ¡°Hello, master.¡± Upon hearing that Lin Mo wanted her, Duanmu Jia immediately lowered her head shyly and came to Lin Mo¡¯s side obediently. Anyone would like such a woman. However, from the matter of giving her away, it could be seen that the Duanmu clan seemed to have taken a deviant path. If Lin Mo got involved with them, they might not be of any use. ¡°Manager Lin is a smart person who can support an auction house. I won¡¯t lie to smart people,¡± Duanmu Qian said frankly, ¡°Actually, the Dragon Seal Fist that we just bought was also sold by our Duanmu clan.¡± ¡°Have you heard of the ¡®Ancient Martial Arts clan¡¯ of the Great Yan Divine Empire?¡± Lin Mo nodded. Unlike Yanhuang Divine Empire, Great Yan Divine Empire had a slightly smaller territory. However, it was close to the natural moat and was easy to defend and hard to attack. There were twelve provinces and twenty-four counties in total. The capital city of Great Yan Divine Empire was prosperous and open-minded, and there was rarely any forced management. This was also the reason why all the people in the world liked to come to Great Yan Divine Empire. It was a place with few people, a big place, and relatively loose management. It was more suitable for living. However, the Duanmu clan was one of the few that did business in foreign countries. Duanmu Qian smiled and said, ¡°Selling this Dragon Seal Fist to the Ancient Martial Arts clan can be considered as bringing a great improvement to the Ancient Martial Arts clan.¡± ¡°The Ancient Martial Arts clan has excellent adaptability to fist techniques. It is said that as long as it is a fist technique below tier 8, even a seven-year-old child would be able to learn it. It is also a thousand-year-old aristocratic clan, and is famous for its wealth.¡± As if he could hear the hidden meaning of the Duanmu clan¡¯s words, Lin Mo said straightforwardly, ¡°How much can the Dragon Seal Fist be sold to the Ancient Martial Arts clan?¡± ¡°At least seven million.¡± Duanmu Qian did not hide anything. Damn! At this moment, Lin Mo was extremely shocked. All this time, Lin Mo had been wandering around Lin city. Rich people like Qi Yueheng and Bai Wuheng, as well as those few mercenary group leaders, made Lin Mo feel that he was a nouveau riche. However, a cultivation technique that Lin Mo had bought for a little over three million yuan could be sold for over seven million yuan in the Great Yan Divine Empire? The profit had doubled! ¡°Are you surprised?¡± Duanmu Qian said proudly, ¡°The Ancient Martial Arts clan seldom cooperates with others. Our Duanmu clan is one of their four suppliers. Over the years, we have supplied quite a number of supplies¡­ It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that half of the Duanmu clan is supported by the Ancient Martial Arts clan.¡± It was true that cultivation is a matter that consumes a lot of resources. Most ordinary cultivators focus on longevity. Even if their cultivation base improves, they use it to extend their lifespan or to learn cultivation techniques that can make them younger. ¡°However, the aristocratic families that are born to fight, consumed a lot of resources. This is why although the second prince is only a prince, his annual income is over ten million spiritual stones. Otherwise, how could he afford so many vassals? Even these ten million spiritual stones were not enough! However, the Ancient Martial Arts clan had accumulated wealth over a thousand years, which was why they were wealthy. A thousand-year-old aristocratic family like them was not created overnight. Perhaps, after several hundred years of accumulation, they could use one or two generations to create some achievements. Once they were defeated, they would continue to accumulate their strength, and so on and so forth. However, Lin Mo remembered that a few years ago, the Yanhuang Divine Empire thought that the North Sea was a territorial issue, and they had fought against the Ancient Martial Arts clan of the Great Yan Divine Empire, right? The Duanmu clan had been doing business with the Ancient Martial Arts clan for a long time. Was that not the same as betraying the country? Moreover, looking at the fearless look on Duanmu Qian¡¯s face, he was openly betraying the country! They were the local forces of Huaian City. Were they not afraid of being liquidated by the Yanhuang Divine Empire? Chapter 159 - You Are Already the Richest Man in Lin City! When Duanmu Qian saw that Lin Mo¡¯s expression was a little off, he smiled and said, ¡°The world is bustling for profit and all of us are the same. We don¡¯t care about who we belong to anymore. We don¡¯t care about where we belong anymore.¡± ¡®Damn it, he¡¯s making the fact that he¡¯s betraying the kingdom so poetic?¡¯ Why did Lin Mo feel that the Duanmu clan was so shameless? ¡°Elder, you are worrying too much,¡± Lin Mo said bluntly, ¡°If you want me to have a close relationship with Great Yan Divine Empire, then forget it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine to just go there to develop.¡± Lin Mo expressed a different stance from the Duanmu clan, but Duanmu Qian was not in a hurry. Instead, he analyzed, ¡°The Yanhuang Divine Empire is not that bad. It¡¯s just that the imperial court is in chaos. With the second prince as the ally, the war is going on endlessly.¡± ¡°The small Lin City already has three forces: the second, fourth, and eighth princes. If it weren¡¯t for the strength of our Duanmu clan, we would have long settled in Lin City.¡± ¡°When my ancestor left the Yanhuang Divine Empire, he was forced to do so. As the saying goes, harmony breeds wealth, but the Yanhuang Divine Empire can always drag people in!¡± That was true. Duanmu Qian was clear-headed and did not try to hide anything. He was also very resourceful. He immediately gave Lin Mo a genius-level beauty to play with. It had to be said that compared to this elder, the three clan leaders of Lin City were nothing. Moreover, Duanmu Qian was not old. Although his cultivation level was not high, it was enough to tell that the Duanmu clan represented the winners of this era. Lin Mo could not help but stroke his chin and think. Seeing that the time was ripe, Duanmu Qian said bluntly, ¡°Manager Lin, if you want to cooperate with our Duanmu clan in the future, just ask Jiajia to contact us.¡± ¡°Moreover, if you have other fist techniques, you can sell them all to the Duanmu clan. The Duanmu clan can afford them.¡± ¡°Otherwise, two months later, the Ancient Martial Arts clan will hold a treasure meeting in Lingyun Peak of Cangzhou. Manager Lin can bring your treasures to bid for them.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up when he did not expect Duanmu Qian to give him such important information. ¡°Thank you, elder. If you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll be the one to entertain you today.¡± ¡°Haha, we¡¯re leaving!¡± Duanmu Qian said with a fake smile, ¡°Is there¡­ an undercurrent in Lin City?¡± Good heavens! Lin Mo was quite surprised. Duanmu Qian¡¯s words were not a hint, but a clear indication that he knew what had happened in Lin City. The Duanmu clan¡¯s intelligence system was very advanced! One had to know that even the other three clan leaders were kept in the dark. Even Lin Mo himself did not tell anyone around him. Duanmu Qian was actually able to say something so profound. ¡°Impressive.¡± Lin Mo nodded. After seeing the world, the system rang in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations on auctioning the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array. ] [ You have received 7,000 times the profit. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining a low-grade tier 7 array: Eye of Truth. ] [ Eye of Truth: an array made of 999 dragon eyes. Once set up, it can monitor the surrounding enemies. it can also use the clairvoyance and heavenly eye to gain the vision of a dragon. ] It was actually a surveillance-type array formation? Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. He thought that if he could sell this array to Zi Yue, it should be able to fetch a pretty good price. However, with this bargaining chip, why should he not sell it to the second prince? Instead, he wanted to sell it to the eighth prince, who had to pay a deposit for everything she bought? Just because she was a beauty? Lin Mo despised those who were stingy. ¡­ After the auction ended, the descendants of the various large families discussed the contents of today¡¯s auction. There were even quite a number of people who were envious of Zi Yue. She was actually able to bid four million for the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array? She was indeed worthy of being a lady from a holy land! However, Lin Mo knew that Zi Yue had nothing to do with the Purple Cloud Holy Land. When he returned to the VIP auction room, he saw Zi Yue staring at him with a cold expression. Qing Wu also had a murderous look on her face. She gritted her teeth as she stared at Lin Mo, seemingly regretting not killing him earlier! ¡°I¡¯m afraid there will be trouble tonight¡­¡± Lin Mo brought Duanmu Jia along. Looking at this young lady from a small family, Wu Jin was a little confused. ¡°Master, this is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, this is your new colleague, a gift from the Duanmu clan. It¡¯s said that her abilities are outstanding,¡± Lin Mo said as he patted Wu Jin¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You should also head in the direction of the person-in-charge.¡± ¡°Look at the imposing manner of the Duanmu clan¡¯s elder. An outsider like him can suppress Qi Yueheng to the point that he can¡¯t even fart.¡± Soon, Miao Qing arrived in front of Lin Mo with a pleased expression. This time, he had really done well. Other than the last item, all the other items were organized by him! Moreover, the results were quite good. ¡°Nice to meet you, Miss Jiajia.¡±After taking care of her, Miao Qing waited for Lin Mo to give the order. At this moment, Zi Yue walked over with a chilly aura. Her aura was so strong that Wu Jin and Miao Qing could not help but feel nervous. They only knew that this lady seemed to have been alone with Lin Mo for a while, but they still did not understand the relationship between the two of them. ¡°Manager Lin, when can you give me the second half of the Mysterious Heaven Array?¡± Zi Yue was obviously suppressing her anger. Lin Mo observed for a while and confirmed that there was not the mysterious person he saw last night. Then, he said coldly, ¡°When you pay the final payment, the second half will naturally be handed over to you.¡± ¡°However, there¡¯s a problem. The second half is placed in a spatial ring. It¡¯s the advanced version of the spatial ring that Bai Wuxuan bought earlier.¡± ¡°The spatial ring can only be used after it has been recognized as its owner by dripping blood. Therefore, if you want it, you will have to spend another 800,000 spiritual stones to buy this spatial ring¡­ However, with your wealth, it shouldn¡¯t be much, right?¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Qing Wu instantly flew into a rage, but she was pressed down by Zi Yue. After a moment of silence, the corner of Zi Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She stared straight into Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Manager Lin to be so scheming that he even thought of a plan.¡± ¡°Forget it. If I pay another 3.8 million, can manager Lin bear to part with it?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m willing.¡± Lin Mo said as he did some mental calculations. Adding on the 4 million that Zi Yue just gave him, it was a total of 7.8 million low-grade spiritual stones. He would give Zi Yue a low-grade tier 7 array and a Purple-gold Spatial Ring. No, this was too cheap. It was fine it was only the array, but he was willing to give a ring for free? How could this be called an auction? Lin Mo thought to himself that when Zi Yue¡¯s money was in his hands, he would have to take another 1.2 million from her to raise nine million. Lin Mo did not dare to say anything else, but he knew that Zi Yue definitely had the strength to do so. He just had to pay a small price. Furthermore, the Mysterious Heaven Array was priceless. It was not worth it to exchange for low-grade spiritual stones. Since Lin Mo was willing to sell it to Zi Yue, Zi Yue should be kowtowing and thanking him! What right did she have to glare at him? Lin Mo felt that he had suffered a loss. Zi Yue felt that she had been toyed around by Lin Mo, and she felt extremely resentful. Miao Qing, who was standing at the side, heard the conversation between the two of them and calculated in shock. There were millions of spiritual stones¡­ Amazing! His young master was now an ultimate nouveau riche!He was undoubtedly the number one nouveau riche! Chapter 160 - What Is a Professional Team? At this moment, one could see Duanmu Jia¡¯s role. With a wave of Lin Mo¡¯s hand, Miao Qing passed the information to Duanmu Jia. Duanmu Jia instantly noticed the problem. ¡°The auction house¡¯s operations are pretty good, but the items are a little monotonous. Compared to our business group, this is the only disadvantage.¡± ¡°Once this problem is solved, the future of the Lin auction house will be bright.¡± ¡°Monotonous auction items?¡± Miao Qing was a little unconvinced, but Lin Mo let Duanmu Jia continue. ¡°But the problem is also very easy to solve,¡± Duanmu Jia said solemnly. ¡°Master, you can use spiritual stones to exchange for some auction items in our business group. You should try to provide for every cultivator nearby.¡± ¡°This is the so-called demand.¡± She was even talking about the demand. It seemed that Duanmu Jia knew the market quite well! ¡°Doesn¡¯t that benefit your Duanmu clan?¡±Miao Qing questioned. Miao Qing was a little uncomfortable with this new colleague, Duanmu Jia. However, throughout the whole process, Duanmu Jia was respectful and showed no signs of anger, which made Lin Mo even more satisfied. ¡°Let¡¯s do as you say. Let me see your ability,¡± Lin Mo said generously. ¡°Thank you, master.¡± Duanmu Jia was still neither arrogant nor humble. She did not show the slightest bit of pride, nor did he show any signs of being overly humble. Under Duanmu Jia¡¯s request, Lin Mo used one million low-grade spiritual stones to exchange for quite a number of items from the Duanmu clan¡¯s business group. It covered all the fields that the cultivators needed. Moreover, Duanmu Jia could see the future of the Purple-gold Spatial Ring with a single glance! They talked about how if they could mass-produce this spatial ring and spread it to the market, the entire world of cultivators would be turned upside down! Lin Mo, on the other hand, told Duanmu Jia not to be anxious. He had not even collected all the space fragments yet, so he had no way to start producing them. ¡­ In the afternoon, the second auction hosted by Duanmu Jia officially began. This was a test for Duanmu Jia by Lin Mo. he also wanted to see how attractive the market theory of the Duanmu clanwas in this era. Under Duanmu Jia¡¯s suggestion, she spent a large sum of money to invite a professional team that she knew from the Duanmu clan. One of them was a woman named Duanmu Fei. She was also a beauty in her prime, but she was more mature. When she arrived at the venue, many people¡¯s eyes lit up. Her professional ability was market research. As long as she finished the auction, she would be able to gather some special intelligence and data. She would help the auction house to do better and better. The other was Duanmu Jia¡¯s master, Master Otto. It was said that he was very famous in Great Yan Divine Empire. The entrance fee was even more expensive, It was 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones per auction! He claimed that under his appraisal, there would not be any low-quality items appearing in the auction! When everyone had arrived, Duanmu Jia met up with Duanmu Fei and Master Otto. Lin Mo was also silently observing. Since there was a chance to professionalize the Lin auction house, what he needed was more talent! Money? He was not in need of that. Not to mention 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones for an auction, so what if it was 1 million? It was fine as long as they had the ability! However, compared to Duanmu Jia, this woman called Duanmu Fei lacked a bit of this ethereal aura. Her short, gentle hair accentuated Duanmu Jia¡¯s aura, causing some of the women to feel jealous. Duanmu Jia walked straight toward Duanmu Fei. After passing by Zi Yue and the other two who were waiting for the auction to begin, Qing Wu sniffed the faint fragrance left behind by the place where she passed by. She smiled and praised in her heart, ¡°She has a unique fragrance and a graceful bearing. She is indeed a stunner.¡± However, how did such a stunner benefit Lin Mo? This made Qing Wu sigh. ¡°Teacher!¡± When she came in front of Duanmu Fei, a faint smile appeared on Duanmu Jia¡¯s exquisite face. In that instant, a smile appeared. It was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, causing one to feel a sense of amazement. ¡°Hehe, you are finally here. I heard that you are following the Lin auction house. I can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± Duanmu Fei¡¯s gaze was filled with gentleness as she stared at the proud student in front of her. She smiled in gratification. ¡°Master!¡± Duanmu Jia tilted her head slightly and bowed slightly to Master Otto, who was rolling his eyes at the side. One was her teacher, and the other was her master. Furthermore, from market research to appraisal, everything was complete! In addition to Duanmu Jia¡¯s administrative ability and Miao Qing¡¯s auction experience, Wu Jin was in charge of communication as a secretary. Moreover, Lin Wan would rope in the juniors of the various large families and build up a network of connections. A strong team would be enough! ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re still so polite. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll use all my effort to help you appraise this time. Once you¡¯re here, let¡¯s get started.¡± After nodding with a smile, Ao Lei turned around and bowed to Lin Mo. He was extremely respectful. However, Miao Qing was a little doubtful. Was this Ao Lei really that professional? It was 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones to appraise an auction. This price was not low at all¡­ In the private room, there were many rare fruits and delicacies, as well as fine wine and tea. The treatment was extremely good. From the private room, one could see the entire situation of the Lin auction house below. At this moment, the auction hall was already filled with people, and it was extremely noisy. After waiting for about an hour, the venue was finally full of people. As Duanmu Jia stepped onto the auction stage, the auction officially began. Duanmu Jia had studied under the Duanmu clan¡¯s business group for many years and was experienced. After she went on stage and gave a few opening remarks, Duanmu Jia began to auction the first item. ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction of the first item of this auction.¡± As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly walked onto the auction stage. Duanmu Jia walked over and opened the purple brocade box. In an instant, a dazzling purple light bloomed on the auction stage, looking magnificent. ¡°Everyone, this first item is¡­¡± ¡°Purple Spirit Crystal!¡± At the auction, Duanmu Jia¡¯s heavy voice slowly sounded. Purple Spirit Crystal? After hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s words, everyone was slightly stunned. Many people with extraordinary experiences immediately reacted. Therefore, the auction began to fall into a clamor. Many people began to whisper and discuss non-stop. ¡°Wow, what a beautiful crystal!¡± In the VIP room where Zi Yue and the rest were seated, Qing Wen¡¯s eyes were wide open as she looked at the Purple Spirit Crystal that was emitting a brilliant glow on the auction stage. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a strange glow. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the first item to be a treasure like the Purple Spirit Crystal.¡± ¡°Looks like the quality of this auction is even higher than I expected.¡± Zi Yue also nodded her head. Looking at her demeanor, this Duanmu Jia was much more professional than Miao Qing. Even Zi Yue was a little shocked. How did Lin Mo manage to recruit this person? Looking at the purple glow on the auction stage, Qing Wu¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. ¡°Qing Wen, what kind of treasure is this Purple Spirit Crystal? What¡¯s its use?¡± Chapter 161 - The Royal Black Market? Chapter 161: The Royal Black Market? Before Qing Wen could speak, Zi Yue, who was sitting at the side, spoke first. ¡°Purple Spirit Crystals are produced by large-scale fierce beasts. Every tier 6 fierce beast can only produce one piece every 100 years.¡± As Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment, but suddenly, a fierce bidding noise erupted. ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction of the Purple Spirit Crystal. The starting price is 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°40,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°50,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°60,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°70,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°80,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In just a short moment, the price of the Purple Spirit Crystal had already reached the price of 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, the price was still rising. ¡°110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°120,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ ¡°150,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Right at this moment, a clear and crisp voice rang out from Lin Mo¡¯s private room. Lin Mo turned his gaze over. The person who called out the price was none other than Qing Wu. ¡°Hehe, this Purple Spirit Crystal is too beautiful, I really can¡¯t help but to make my move.¡± Facing Zi Yue and the others¡¯ gazes, Qing Wu¡¯s pretty face lifted up into a smile. The cold and aloof goddess smiled like this, appearing a little mischievous and cute. ¡°Qing Wu, it¡¯s good for you to take this Purple Spirit Crystal.¡± Zi Yue chuckled and said, ¡°If this thing is refined into a medicinal pill, it¡¯ll be of great help to your breakthrough.¡± With Qing Wu¡¯s bid of 150,000, the auction of the Purple Spirit Crystal also came to an end. ¡°This young lady bids 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?¡± On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia stepped forward and asked. ¡°If no one raises the price, then this Purple Spirit Crystal will belong to this young lady.¡± Duanmu Jia slowly announced the final result. Hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s announcement, Qing Wu was also a little excited. She looked at the Purple Spirit Crystal with a burning gaze. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Purple Spirit Crystal. ] [ You have received 7,000 times the profit. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Gilded Purple Caltrop Crystal. ] [ Gilded Purple Caltrop Crystal: one of the luxury items specially provided by the royal family. With just a thought, it can glow and bewitch people. It can also be made into weapons and jewelry. It is impervious to all poisons and can ward off ferocious beasts. ] ¡°It¡¯s actually a royal tribute?¡± Lin Mo was slightly surprised. Up until now, he had yet to come into contact with a royal tribute. If such an item was auctioned, it would not be easy to sell it, right? However, if it was sold on the black market, it might fetch an astronomical price! ¡°Royal¡­ black market¡­¡± Lin Mo held his chin as a bold idea formed in his mind. At the same time, the voice of the system suddenly appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Purple Spirit Crystal ] [ You have received 7,000 times the profit ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. ] [ The hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note of it. ] Another item! Duanmu Jia was not auctioning medicinal pills or cultivation techniques, she was auctioning pure materials. Materials were sold according to their quality and rarity. Therefore, one could obtain various materials by auctioning an item! Earth Core Body Tempering Milk? Moreover, it had been condensed for a hundred years. Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo¡¯s heart jolted. This time, he had actually obtained a hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, a genius earthly treasure. Information about the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk quickly flashed through Lin Mo¡¯s mind. Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was born under the earth. The originally pure earth energy had been compressed over time and formed a fog after a hundred years. It was called earth core fog and had the miraculous effect of being solid After a thousand years of condensation, it formed into a liquid form. If it was of higher quality, it would be called the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. It had the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the bones. Moreover, because of the extremely pure earth energy, it could even help some top experts use it to break through! Generally speaking, because of the harsh conditions for the formation of this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, very few people had really encountered it. The ecstasy on his face lasted for quite a while before it gradually faded away. Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness directly entered the system space. Following that, Lin Mo saw a lump of emerald-colored viscous liquid floating in the system space. This lump of liquid seemed to have spirituality as it slowly flowed in the air. ¡°This is the hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk?¡± Lin Mo looked at the hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, and his heart was filled with joy. The energy in this hundred-year earth core quenching liquid was relatively mild and was suitable for his cultivation. Lin Mo estimated that as long as he absorbed all of this hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, it would take at least half a month. During this half a month, he could use a medicinal bath to maximize the medicinal effects! A moment later, Lin Mo slightly gathered his thoughts and left the system space. At this moment, on the auction stage, Duanmu Jia had already ordered people to carry the second auction item onto the stage. ¡°The second item in this auction is a fourth-grade medicinal pill, the Soul-cleansing Flower.¡± Following that, Duanmu Jia gave a detailed introduction of the effects of the Soul-cleansing Flower before starting the auction. ¡°The auction of the Soul-cleansing Flower begins now. The starting price is 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a series of shouts immediately soared into the sky. ¡°90,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°120,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In just a few breaths¡¯ time, this tier 4 medicinal pill had already reached the height of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, this price continued to rise. Not only were there mercenary groups in Lin City, there were also quite a number of guilds. Faced with this tier 4 medicinal pill, the alchemists present naturally would not let it go. ¡°210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°220,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°240,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± A moment later, the price of the Soul-cleansing Flower had already reached 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Master, don¡¯t you need this Soul-cleansing Flower?¡± In the private room, Qing Wu looked at the shouts outside and could not help but feel a little excited. ¡°My goal this time is to prevent Lin Mo from auctioning off the second half of the Mysterious Heaven Array¡­¡±Zi Yue shook her head and explained to Qing Wu. In the end, this Soul-cleansing Flower was auctioned off at the price of 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones. After the Soul-cleansing Flower was auctioned off, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Soul-cleansing Flower. ] [7,000 times rebate. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the hundred-year Green Spirit Vine. ] Lin Mo¡¯s heart jolted. Following that, information regarding the hundred-year Green Spirit Vine quickly flashed through his mind. The hundred-year Green Spirit Vine was one of the main ingredients used to refine medicinal pills! The Green Spirit Pill that could be refined was an indispensable spirit pill when it was used to refine the body of a powerful soul! ¡°This hundred-year-old Green Spirit Vine is very useful.¡± A trace of joy flashed across Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. However, he did not put his mind into the system space this time. After Duanmu Jia called out the third item for auction, everyone¡¯s eyes focused on Duanmu Jia. ¡°Everyone, the third item in this auction is the energy core of a tier 4 beast.¡± Chapter 162 - How Precious Is The Soul Power Pill? Chapter 162: How Precious Is The Soul Power Pill? After giving a brief introduction of the core, Duanmu Jia began the auction. ¡°Now, let¡¯s begin the auction for this tier 4 core. The starting price is 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°90,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ A moment later, this tier 4 core was taken by an alchemist. At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the tier 4 beast core. ] [ Obtained 7,000 times the profit ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the tier 8 fire demon core ] 1 Rank 8 fire demon core? This rank 8 fire demon core was a good item. The so-called fire demon was actually a fire demon. It was a demon that had inherited the bloodline of a phoenix and a dragon, and it often came out to harm the human world. While Lin Mo was in a daze, Duanmu Jia was not idle on the stage. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s begin the auction for the fourth item.¡± As Duanmu Jia said this, the auction hall instantly quieted down. A delicate and pretty maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly stepped onto the auction stage, presenting the purple brocade box to Duanmu Jia. Duanmu Jia revealed a smile and slowly reached out to open the brocade box. In an instant, a rich fragrance was emitted from the brocade box, and then it spread throughout the entire auction venue. Upon smelling this fragrance, everyone present was shocked. Top grade medicinal pill! It was definitely a medicinal pill! In the private room that Qi Yueheng and the others were in, all of the fragrance surged in. Upon smelling this fragrance, Qi Yueheng¡¯s expression changed and his expression immediately became excited. ¡°Illusion Spirit Pill!¡± ¡°This auction item is definitely an Illusion Spirit Pill!¡± ¡°I will definitely obtain this Illusion Spirit Pill!¡± Qi Yueheng looked at the position of the auction stage with a determined look on his face. ¡°Clan Leader Qi, can you be a little more steady? The Illusion Spirit Pill is here anyway, and it won¡¯t escape.¡± Zhao Gongming saw Qi Yueheng lose his composure and could not help but curl his lips. ¡°What do you know! I¡¯ve been looking for this Illusion Spirit Pill for five years.¡± ¡°As long as I get this Illusion Spirit Pill, my strength will be able to crush Bai Wuheng!¡± Although Qi Yueheng did not know that Bai Wuheng was already dead, Zhao Gongming was still very surprised to hear that he was able to beat up Bai Wuheng because of a single pill. Qi Yueheng was in a state of madness, and a faint flush appeared on his face. It was obvious that he was too excited. Illusion Spirit Pill. Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Mo¡¯s heart stirred. He hurriedly got Miao Qing to investigate the purpose of this thing. He learned that the Illusion Spirit Pill, a low-grade tier 5 spirit pill, could greatly increase one¡¯s soul power after consuming it! However, when he thought about the drawbacks of this kind of pill, Lin Mo could not help but frown. Although consuming the Illusion Spirit Pill could increase the strength of one¡¯s soul power, it was only forcefully stimulating the power of one¡¯s soul origin. It would cause a huge injury to the soul origin. After consuming this pill, it was practically impossible for one¡¯s soul power to increase. In other words, if Qi Yueheng took the Illusion Spirit Pill, his soul power would only be able to stop here, unable to improve any further. Thinking about it, Qi Yueheng probably knew that his potential had reached its end, so he thought of this extreme method. However, Qi Yueheng said that he had searched for the Illusion Spirit Pill for a full five years, which showed how precious the pill to increase soul power was! It was also enough to show how powerful the finished product of a space-type tool that could only be made with a powerful soul power was! ¡°Everyone, the auction item this time is a low-grade tier 5 medicinal pill, Illusion Spirit Pill!¡± On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia raised the brocade box in her hand and presented the medicinal pill in it in front of everyone¡¯s eyes as he shouted loudly. Illusion Spirit Pill! Low-grade tier 5 medicinal pill! Hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s words, everyone present was instantly shocked. Especially some alchemists, their eyes revealed a fiery hot expression. It was actually a tier 5 low-grade medicinal pill! This was only the fourth auction item, and a tier 5 low-grade medicinal pill had actually appeared. This time, it was really a big deal! The entire auction venue instantly descended into a clamor of discussion. And when Duanmu Jia saw that the atmosphere was almost set off, she paused for a moment and directly started the auction. ¡°The starting price for the fifth-grade low-grade Illusion Spirit Pill is 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the crowd began to bid frantically. ¡°210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°220,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°240,000 low-grade spiritual stones¡± ¡°250,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°300,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± Before anyone could react, the Illusion Spirit Pill¡¯s price had already soared to 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Moreover, the crowd¡¯s shouting did not show any signs of slowing down, and the Illusion Spirit Pill¡¯s price was still rising crazily. ¡°310,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°320,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°330,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°400,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Soon, the price of the Illusion Spirit Pill had risen to 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones! At this point, the shouts of the crowd slowed down a little. Zhao Gongming looked at the anxious Qi Yueheng and curled his lips, ¡°Can you hold your temper?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look at how they are shouting happily. The main event will always be at the end.¡± Hearing this, Qi Yueheng finally calmed down. This time, he came prepared and brought sufficient funds. Previously, he only spent 800,000, so he still had over two million in his hands! He would definitely be able to obtain this Illusion Spirit Pill. Thinking of this, Qi Yueheng¡¯s expression calmed down. His gaze slowly looked toward the auction stage. At this moment, the price of the Illusion Spirit Pill was still continuously rising. A few alchemists were crazily competing, not giving in at all. ¡°550,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°610,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°650,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Very quickly, the Illusion Spirit Pill¡¯s price had already reached 700,000! Seeing this price, many alchemists could not help but sigh and choose to give up. ¡°800,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± At this moment, Qi Yueheng¡¯s voice finally sounded. After reaching this price, the bidding for the Illusion Spirit Pill was almost coming to an end. Duanmu Fei finally could not hold it in any longer. A pill that could raise one¡¯s soul power was really too precious. At his age, it was really difficult to rely on cultivation to break through. Moreover, his age did not allow him to go all out like when he was young. He still had the entire family to manage! However, after his soul power increased, it was immediately followed by the strengthening of his spiritual sense. Not only could he learn many cultivation techniques, but he also had a huge advantage over cultivators like Bai Wuheng who neglected their soul power! Take Zhao Gongming for example. When he heard that the Illusion Spirit Pill was so rare, Zhao Gongming was tempted to make a move. However, the fourth prince did not provide as much assistance as the second prince. Zhao Gongming did not have enough money to compete with Qi Yueheng, so he could only watch as Qi Yueheng made a bid. The strong preyed on the weak in a clan war. Was Qi Yueheng becoming stronger not a threat to the Zhao family? Chapter 163 - The Return of the City Lord! In the end, the Illusion Spirit Pill was taken by Qi Yueheng. Zhao Gongming felt an itch in his heart as he looked at it. The auction had also entered an intermission. Just as the various large clans were discussing countermeasures, Miao Qing suddenly came forward to report. ¡°Young master, the city lord has returned!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. He saw the people of the Lin City¡¯s city lord¡¯s manor bringing over a dozen guards to protect the father and daughter as they entered the auction. This was also Lin Mo¡¯s first time meeting Lin City¡¯s city lord, Qin Xiao. ¡°Young master, this Qin Xiao is someone arranged by the Imperial City. He rarely comes back and usually works in the Imperial City. Will there be any problems when he comes back today?¡± Miao Qing was a little worried. Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ll take whatever comes our way. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± In the VIP room, Zhao Gongming, Qi Yueheng, and the Bai family elders and juniors heard the return of the city lord, and also came forward to greet him. Lin Mo some doubt, was Qin Xiao¡¯s return caused by Zi Yue? However, Zi Yue also had a surprised face, and it was obviously not pretended. ¡°Long time no see, everyone.¡± Qin Xiao was a radiant middle-aged man, and his daughter, Qin Lin, was even more beautiful. ¡°Today is my daughter¡¯s coming of age ceremony. I was invited by the Duanmu clan to participate in the Lin auction to buy my daughter a coming of age ceremony. It won¡¯t disturb you, right? ¡± ¡°How can it be? The Lin City is originally your territory!¡± Zhao Gongming¡¯s face some flattery. In fact, his Zhao family is also the fourth prince¡¯s people. Although Qin Xiao¡¯s future was boundless, but there were four big clans in the Lin City, who would be the one to be afraid? If Bai Wuheng did not offend the eighth prince, who would dare to kill him? Presumably, only Lin Mo has this ability! After Qin Xiao chatted with everyone for a while, Duanmu Jia arranged for a maid to help Qin Xiao arrange a private VIP room. Duanmu Jia also appeared to be familiar with Qin Xiao. It seemed that the Duanmu family had been paying attention to Qin Xiao for a long time. However, at this moment, Lin Mo did not have the time to care about Qin Xiao. Although the city lord had returned, a rising star like him would definitely come into contact with Qin Xiao. No one could tell if they would get along harmoniously or if there would be conflicts. However, after selling a large amount of materials, especially the ferocious beast¡¯s core, the system had given an extremely large amount of tier 5 ferocious beasts¡¯ core rewards! Looking at the pile of tier 5 ferocious beasts¡¯ cores in the system space. After being stunned for a moment, Lin Mo gradually regained his senses. Although he was a little confused by the system¡¯s actions, when he regained his senses, Lin Mo looked at the mountain of ferocious beasts¡¯ cores in front of him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile. If they were to return the profits based on the quality, the Lin auction house could usually sell more materials. These materials would probably not be of use to him for a short period of time, and he could only put them in the system space to eat dust. However, with the system¡¯s actions, Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. He might not be able to use a high-quality ferocious beast¡¯s core right now, but he could at least use a tier 5 ferocious beast¡¯s core, right? Whether it was used to make weapons or medicinal baths, or even just for auction, it was pretty good. Based on the value of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones each, this pile of tier 5 ferocious beasts¡¯ cores would be worth a huge sum of money, right? In addition to the large number of auctioned items and the deposit Zi Yue gave him¡­ He should be the number one richest person in Lin City, right? Perhaps even the eighth prince Zi Yue could not be as rich as him! It was a good opportunity for him to make use of this tier 5 ferocious beast¡¯s core to better execute his plan of opening a black market and expanding into Great Yan Divine Empire. After admiring it for a while, Lin Mo slowly exited the system space. After regaining his consciousness, Lin Mo immediately turned his gaze toward the auction venue. On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia was already preparing to auction off the seventh item. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s begin the auction for the seventh item.¡± As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly stepped onto the auction stage. Duanmu Jia went forward and opened the brocade box with a mysterious expression on his face. ¡°The auction item this time is a little special¡­¡± After saying that, Duanmu Jia stretched out her hands and took out the auction item inside. ¡°The auction item this time is¡­ The egg of a tier 6 fierce beast, the Ardent Sword Eagle!¡± Duanmu Jia held up a blue ferocious beast egg with both hands and said in a high voice. Tier 6 ferocious beast egg! Ardent Sword Eagle! Upon hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s words, the entire auction venue was instantly in an uproar. ¡°A tier 6 ferocious beast!¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually a tier 6 ferocious beast!¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± ¡°The Lin auction house¡¯s spending this time is too heaven-defying!¡± ¡°Even the Imperial City¡¯s auction venue might not be able to produce a sixth-tier ferocious beast egg, right?¡± Everyone looked at the tier 6 ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia¡¯s hand, and their eyes emitted a fiery glow. This was a tier 6 ferocious beast! Moreover, ut was a flying beast! ¡°This tier 6 ferocious beast egg must not fall into the hands of the three big families.¡± Zhao Gongming looked at the beast egg in Duanmu Jia¡¯s hand from the corner of his eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. He was naturally more clear about the value of the tier 6 ferocious beast egg. If it fell into the hands of other families, then his position as the clan leader of the fourth largest clan would probably be lost! In the other private rooms, the other two great clans of Lin City were also staring at the ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia¡¯s hand with a determined look on their faces. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set off, Duanmu Jia slowly put the ferocious beast egg back into the brocade box. Looking at the heated gazes of the people below the stage, Duanmu Jia revealed a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sure all of you are aware of the value of this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. It can no longer be measured by low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Therefore, for this auction, apart from using low-grade spirit stones, all of you may wish to use treasures to purchase it. At the same price, I will give priority to natural treasures¡­¡± As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the crowd instantly fell into a state of agitation. However, using a natural treasure to bid for a level 6 beast egg was understandable. ¡°Tier 6 ferocious beast egg¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a flying-type beast!¡± Lin Mo was also a little surprised. This ferocious beast egg was obviously obtained by Duanmu Jia from the Duanmu clan. Lin Mo did not buy it. However, after auctioning the ferocious beast egg, he could obtain a higher grade ferocious beast egg through the system! ¡°Isn¡¯t this the gift I gave Jiajia when she graduated from the clan?¡± ¡°She actually took it out to be auctioned off?¡± ¡°Looks like Jiajia really wants to work hard with Lin Mo¡­¡± Ao Lei looked at the ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia¡¯s hands with a trace of doubt on his face. Honestly speaking, if it was him, he would definitely not take out this tier 6 ferocious beast egg to be auctioned off. He could just keep this tier 6 ferocious beast egg for himself to nurture, right? If he nurtured it and had a flying mount, coupled with his own strength, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in Lin City, right? If Duanmo Jia auctioned it off now, Lin Mo would not be able to get it. Would that not be funding his enemy? ¡°The auction for this ferocious beast egg begins now. There¡¯s no starting price. The bidding begins now!¡± Chapter 164 - A Tier 6 Ferocious Beast With the Ability to Fly! In Duanmu Jia¡¯s opinion, this ferocious beast egg was a priceless treasure. Therefore, she did not set a starting price and allowed everyone to freely make their bids. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction house fell silent for a moment before an intense bidding noise erupted. ¡°500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°650,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and one tier 4 pill!¡± ¡°800,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°900,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!¡± Within a short period of time, this tier 6 ferocious beast egg had risen to an extremely outrageous price. Even so, everyone still crazily raised the price and did not have the slightest intention of stopping. ¡°1 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!¡± ¡± 1.1 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°1.2 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!¡± In the auction, the shouts of the crowd were endless, causing the entire auction to become extremely noisy. Along with the shouts of the crowd, the price of this tier 6 ferocious beast egg also rose steadily, reaching a sky-high price. After a quarter of an hour, the crowd¡¯s shouts gradually slowed down. Only a few powerful aristocratic families were still fighting in the auction venue. ¡°1,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones and three tier 4 pills!¡± At a corner of the auction venue, Zhao Gongming hesitated for a moment before shouting loudly. He looked at the tier 6 ferocious beast egg on the auction stage, and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes. The Zhao clan had to obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. The Zhao clan had always been on good terms with the Duanmu clan. Before the auction started, the Zhao clan leader had gone to the Duanmu clan to investigate. Although the Duanmu clan did not tell him all the information about the auction items, the Zhao clan was still very confident. They also revealed that this tier 6 ferocious beast egg was not the most precious thing in the auction. There were two more items that were even more precious than this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. When he heard this news, the Zhao clan leader was extremely shocked. To him, a tier 6 ferocious beast egg was already priceless. What exactly were these two items that were being auctioned? They were actually even more precious than this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. After a series of discussions among the higher-ups of the Zhao clan, the final result was obtained. The Zhao clan had to get their hands on this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. He also knew that with the fourth prince¡¯s background, he definitely would not be able to compete with Qi Yueheng. Even if he wanted to compete for the next two items, he would not be able to. Therefore, the Zhao family¡¯s higher-ups all thought that it was enough for the Zhao family to get this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. The Zhao family chose not to interfere with the other two auction items. As soon as the clan leader of the Zhao clan finished speaking, a voice came from the private room of the city lord¡¯s mansion. ¡°2 million low-grade spiritual stones and four tier 4 medicinal pills!¡± In the private room, Qin Lin excitedly hugged City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s arm and said with an excited expression. ¡°Father, you must obtain this Ardent Sword Eagle¡¯s egg.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want the coming of age gift. I want this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.¡± Hearing this, the city lord¡¯s face darkened. This tier 6 ferocious beast egg as a coming-of-age gift? What kind of joke was this? Even the royal princess did not have this kind of treatment¡­ ¡°Qin Lin, don¡¯t mess around. The tier 6 ferocious beast egg is of great importance. It¡¯s also an opportunity for your father to cooperate with the Duanmu clan. It¡¯s not for fun¡­¡± Thinking of this, City Lord Qin Xiao said seriously. ¡°Hmph! I won¡¯t talk to you anymore¡­¡± Being scolded by City Lord Qin Xiao, Qin Lin¡¯s pretty face was a little unhappy. She snorted and left the private room. ¡°This girl¡­¡± Seeing this, City Lord Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly. Then, he continued to focus his attention on the auction stage. ¡°Clan leader, are we still going to continue?¡± In the Zhao clan¡¯s private room, the first elder of the Zhao clan heard the city lord¡¯s bid and looked at Zhao Gongming with a grave expression. ¡°Add, I don¡¯t believe that the city lord will dare to continue wasting time with me.¡± Hearing this, a trace of gloominess flashed across the Zhao clan leader¡¯s face. ¡°Unless he doesn¡¯t want the next two more precious auction items.¡± Zhao Gongming did not panic in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°3 million low-grade spiritual stones and a tier 5 medicinal pill!¡± 3 million low-grade spiritual stones! A tier 5 medicinal pill! This was almost the Zhao family¡¯s limit. If the city lord¡¯s manor continued to press on, then the Zhao clan would have no choice but to give up. ¡°City Lord Qin Xiao, I hope you won¡¯t go too far!¡± Zhao Gongming looked in the direction of the city lord¡¯s private room, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. The three great clans would definitely not sit idly by and watch the city lord take care of the last few items. Otherwise, in the future, Lin City would no longer have a place for the three great clans. As the Zhao clan¡¯s tier 5 medicinal pill appeared, the entire auction instantly went into an uproar. Tier 5 medicinal pill! This Zhao clan was truly extravagant! Looks like the Zhao clan was determined to obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. ¡­ ¡°City lord, what should we do now?¡± ¡°Should we continue to follow?¡± In the private room where the city lord was located, the middle-aged man looked at City Lord Qin Xiao and said with a serious expression. Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Zhao clan to actually hide a Tier 5 medicinal pill. They really have hidden it well.¡± After hesitating for a moment, City Lord Qin Xiao helplessly shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s about time. This should be the Zhao clan¡¯s limit.¡± ¡°Our goal is the tier 6 ferocious beast cub later.¡± ¡°This is specially prepared for me by the Duanmu clan. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have come back.¡± Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded his head and stopped bidding. Duanmu Jia waited for a moment at the auction platform. Seeing that the city lord¡¯s manor was no longer bidding, he immediately understood that the other party had given up. 1 Thinking up to this point, Duanmu Jia no longer hesitated and slowly stepped forward to shout. ¡°This gentleman bids 3,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones and a tier 5 medicinal pill. Does anyone wish to continue bidding?¡± Seeing that no one answered, Duanmu Jia directly announced the final result. ¡°Since no one is bidding, then congratulations to this gentleman. This tier 6 ferocious beast egg belongs to you.¡± Hearing this, the Zhao clan leader in the Zhao family¡¯s private room revealed a relieved expression. No matter what, he had obtained the tier 6 ferocious beast egg. The Zhao family had benefited greatly from this auction. Just as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations on auctioning the Ardent Sword Eagle¡¯s egg. ] [ Obtained 7,000 times the profit. ] [ Obtained the tier 8 Myriad Poison Beast Egg. ] The tier 8 Myriad Poison Beast Egg? Hearing the system notification, Lin Mo was stunned. Myriad Poison Beast? What kind of beast was this? Lin Mo¡¯s heart stirred, and his consciousness immediately sank into the system space. He saw a black beast egg floating in the air within the system space. Wisps of black air swirled around the beast egg, looking a little strange. The instant Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness came into contact with the black beast egg, he obtained information regarding the Myriad Poison Beast. The Myriad Poison Beast was a type of poisonous beast between heaven and earth. It possessed extremely powerful poison dissolving abilities. The Myriad Poison Pearl that was nurtured within its body could dissolve all the poisons in the world! Chapter 165 - The Shocked Audience, the Amethyst Tiger King Cub! The Myriad Poison Beast had the ability to dissolve all poisons in the world? The Myriad Poison Beast¡¯s ability flashed across Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and a look of shock appeared on his face. Such an ability could indeed be called a strange beast in the world. Furthermore, Lin Mo also discovered that apart from the Myriad Poison Beast¡¯s ability to dissolve all poisons in the world¡­ At the same time, it could also absorb poisons to grow and increase its strength. Thinking of this ability, a strange expression appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face. However, the Myriad Poison Beast was still an egg. If he wanted to display its effects, he had to hatch it first. Making the Myriad Poison Beast hatch was actually quite simple. The Myriad Poison Beast was the most poisonous thing in the world. As long as it was soaked in poisonous water and allowed to absorb enough poison, it would be able to successfully hatch. The Myriad Poison Beast possessed the bloodline of a level 8 ferocious beast. As long as it hatched, it would possess the strength of a tier 6 ferocious beast! By relying on its unique ability to expel poison and control poison, humans of the same level would not be a match for it! Looking at the black ferocious beast egg floating in the air, the corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. After the auction ended, he was prepared to directly hatch the Myriad Poison Beast Egg. At that time, he would have another capable assistant by his side. Thinking of this, Lin Mo could not help but smile. Looking at the ferocious beast egg, Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts moved, and his consciousness left the system space. At this moment, on the auction ground, Duanmu Jia was preparing to auction off the eighth item. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s begin to auction off the eighth item of this auction.¡± On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia looked at everyone below the stage and spoke in a high voice. Hearing this, everyone¡¯s attention was drawn over. The seventh item was a Tier 6 beast egg. Then what kind of treasure was this eighth item? Could it be that there would be something more valuable than a Tier 6 beast egg in the auction? At this thought, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the auction stage, their eyes filled with anticipation. Under Duanmu Jia¡¯s signal, two men carried an iron cage covered in red cloth and slowly stepped onto the auction stage. This iron cage was made of special black iron and was extremely hard. Bang! As the iron cage landed on the auction stage, it let out a heavy sound and attracted everyone¡¯s attention. What exactly was in the iron cage? Looking at everyone¡¯s expectant expressions, Duanmu Jia did not waste any time. Shee walked over and slowly lifted the red cloth on the iron cage. ¡°Everyone, the auction item this time is a level six fierce beast, the cub of the Amethyst Tiger King!¡± As the red cloth was lifted, Duanmu Jia introduced it to everyone below the stage. In the iron cage was a small purple beast that was currently in a deep sleep. Looking at the small purple beast in the iron cage, and then hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s introduction, the entire auction instantly became lively after a moment of silence. The cub of the tier 6 Amethyst Tiger King? Everyone¡¯s gaze landed on the small Amethyst Tiger King, and they were all shocked. This was the cub of a tier 6 ferocious beast? The Duanmu clan was actually willing to put it up for auction? This was too heaven-defying! After this auction, the Lin auction house would definitely be famous throughout the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire! Not only the people in the auction hall were shocked, but the various aristocratic families in the private room, including the city lord¡¯s manor, were also somewhat shocked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the tier 6 beast cub that the Duanmu clan mentioned would actually be the cub of the Amethyst Tiger King!¡± ¡°The Duanmu clan is giving me a huge gift!¡± In the private room where the city lord¡¯s manor was located, City Lord Qin Xiao suddenly stood up after hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s introduction. He looked at the little purple beast on the auction stage, and a bright light shot out from his eyes. Among the tier 6 ferocious beasts, the Amethyst Tiger King clan could definitely be considered a top-tier ferocious beast. If it was nurtured, even the Netherworld Sea Wyrm of the imperial family could contend against it. Thinking of this, City Lord Qin Xiao looked at the little Amethyst Tiger King on the auction stage, his eyes filled with passion. He had to get this Amethyst Tiger King cub. ¡°It¡¯s actually the Amethyst Tiger King cub!¡± On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia saw that the atmosphere was about to lighten up, so he did not waste any more time and directly started the auction. ¡°Everyone, the auction for this Amethyst Tiger King cub begins now.¡± ¡°There¡¯s still no starting price, everyone can start bidding now.¡± The moment Duanmu Jia finished speaking, shouts of bids instantly resounded throughout the auction. ¡°800,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 3pills!¡± ¡°1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, five tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°1,400,000 low-grade spiritual stones, 6 tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In just a few breaths, the price of the young Amethyst Tiger King had already soared to a sky-high price. Moreover, this price continued to rise. Seeing this scene, Lin Mo was speechless. Were these fellows crazy? ¡°1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones, 6 tier 4 pills!¡± ¡°1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones, six tier 4 pills, three tier 3 pills!¡± ¡°2 million low-grade spiritual stones, six tier 4 pills, and one tier5 pill!¡± On the auction stage, the price of the Amethyst Tiger King cub was still rising. The bids from the various aristocratic families were each more frightening than the last. The appearance of the tier 6 ferocious beast cub had exposed all the hidden resources they had hidden all these years. At this moment, some of the smaller aristocratic families no longer had the right to speak. Their eyes were lifeless as they watched the changes in the auction. Faced with the prices that these large aristocratic families had bid, they simply did not have the courage to continue following. At this moment, they deeply realized the difference in strength between these small aristocratic families and these large aristocratic families. Even if they were to go bankrupt, they would not dare to bid such a sky-high price. The bidding continued for about half an hour before it finally slowed down. ¡°2,400,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 4 pills, and one tier 5 pill!¡± At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out, causing the entire auction to instantly fall silent. Tier 5 pills had appeared again! To the various aristocratic families in Lin City, the existence of fifth-grade items was definitely the final foundation. This was also the reason why the three great clans and the city lord¡¯s manor were able to suppress the other large and small aristocratic families. Hearing this voice, everyone present turned their gazes towards the direction of the voice. Lin family! That was the private room where the Lin family was located. Within the three great clans in Lin City, the Zhao family had already made a move once. The Duanmu clan was also the organizer of this auction. The only one left was the Lin family. Seeing the Lin family make a move, all the aristocratic families present were thinking. Could the Lin family take down this tier 6 ferocious beast cub from the city lord¡¯s manor? With regards to the current situation in Lin City, these aristocratic families were naturally well aware of it. Chapter 166 - Challenge From the Lin Familys Troublemaker The Zhao clan had already taken down a tier 6 ferocious beast egg. If this Amethyst Tiger King Cub fell into the hands of the Lin family¡­ Then from now on, the position of the city lord¡¯s manor would fall into an awkward position. At this moment, in the private room where the Lin clan was¡­ ¡°Family head, do you think we can snatch it from the city lord¡¯s manor?¡± The Lin family¡¯s first elder looked at the Lin family head with a solemn expression and said in a heavy tone. ¡°Whether we can succeed or not, we¡¯ll have to try before we know!¡± Hearing this, the Lin family head¡¯s face revealed a resolute expression. He looked at the little Amethyst Tiger King on the auction stage, and a trace of heat flashed through his eyes. If they could obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast cub, then the Lin family¡¯s future would soar up, and it would be out of control. Most importantly, Lin Mo¡¯s current power was too great and he already had full authority over the Lin auction house. / The next step would probably be to covet the position of the family head. When the Lin family¡¯s first elder heard this, a trace of worry flashed across his face. Although the Lin family was strong, this was due to Lin Mo. Currently, less than 5% of Lin Mo¡¯s income in the auction house belonged to the Lin family¡¯s finances. Compared to the city lord¡¯s manor, there was still a huge gap. Moreover, the city lord¡¯s manor worked for the Imperial City while the four great clans worked for the princes in the Imperial City. There was a fundamental conflict between them. Qin Xiao was not old, but he was rising step by step. It was obvious that he knew some important figures in the imperial city. After so many years, if it was not for the Zhao, Qi, and Bai clans forming an alliance, they would have long been suppressed by the city lord¡¯s manor. At the same time, in the private room of the city lord¡¯s manor¡­ ¡°City lord, it¡¯s our turn to bid.¡± Seeing the auction suddenly quieten down, the middle-aged man beside City Lord Qin Xiao immediately spoke. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Lin family to be so impatient, directly taking out a tier 5 medicinal pill.¡± Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s gaze looked in the direction of the Lin family, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness. ¡°They won¡¯t be so naive to think that I will obediently retreat after taking out a tier 5 medicinal pill, right?¡± After a moment of silence, City Lord Qin Xiao directly said to the middle-aged man, ¡°Make your bid!¡± Hearing this, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated and directly shouted at the auction, ¡°3 million low-grade spiritual stones, four tier 4 medicinal pills, and one tier 5medicinal pill!¡± As the middle-aged man¡¯s voice fell, the entire auction instantly fell into a deathly silence. However, after the silence, the crowd erupted into a clamor of discussion. It was another tier 5 medicinal pill! The city lord¡¯s manor finally could not help but to make a move! What a big spending! Everyone was shocked. This auction had truly opened their eyes. ¡­ ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°My father has finally made a move!¡± When Qin Lin heard her father announce the bid, she immediately shouted excitedly. At this moment, she also understood her father¡¯s intentions. So, his target was this tier 6 ferocious beast cub. No wonder he gave up on that ferocious beast egg so easily earlier. Thinking of this, Qin Lin¡¯s pretty face lifted. She looked at Xue Mei beside her with some pride. She was like a general who had won, acting high and mighty. ¡­ ¡°Family head, what should we do now?¡± In the private room where the Lin family was located, the Lin family¡¯s first elder looked anxiously at the Lin family¡¯s family head. When he heard this, the Lin family¡¯s family head¡¯s expression also turned a little ugly. After a moment of silence, the Lin family¡¯s family head said in a deep voice, ¡°Add another tier 5 medicinal pill!¡± ¡°This¡­¡± When he heard the Lin family¡¯s family head¡¯s words, the Lin family¡¯s first elder immediately felt a little awkward. ¡°Family head, we only have one fifth rank pill!¡± ¡°Moreover, this pill is still in the auction house¡¯s inventory.¡± ¡°If we do this, won¡¯t we be breaking the Lin auction house¡¯s rules? Won¡¯t we destroy the auction house¡¯s reputation?¡± The Lin family¡¯s family head¡¯s face darkened, and he shouted, ¡°Just do as you¡¯re told. What are you babbling about? Don¡¯t tell me that I don¡¯t know my limits?¡± Hearing this, the Lin family¡¯s first elder¡¯s face changed and he could only do as he was told. He shouted at the auction venue, ¡°Three million low-grade spirit stones, four tier 4 pills, and two tier 5 pills!¡± As soon as the Lin family¡¯s first elder finished speaking, the entire auction venue was stunned for a moment before it fell into a clamor again. ¡°Two tier 5 pills?¡± ¡°This is something that the Lin family can take out?¡± ¡°How is this possible? This is an auction item from the Lin family¡¯s auction house, right?¡± At this moment, it was as if this was the first time that the aristocratic families present recognized the Lin family¡¯s strength. One had to know that although the three great families of Lin City did not have a clear ranking. However, everyone knew that the Lin family should be considered the weakest among the three great families. Without the support of the prince, if it wasn¡¯t for Lin Mo¡¯s arrival, they wouldn¡¯t have the ability to fight against the three great families! However, now, the Lin family suddenly took out two tier 5 medicinal pills. This couldn¡¯t help but shock everyone. Wasn¡¯t this Lin family hiding too deeply? .. ¡°Family head, I didn¡¯t expect that the Lin family could actually take out two tier 5 medicinal pills. This is truly inconceivable!¡± In the Zhao family¡¯s private room, the Zhao family¡¯s first elder looked at the Lin family¡¯s private room with a shocked expression. All these years, he had always underestimated the Lin family! ¡°The Lin family¡¯s tier 5 pill came from the Duanmu family. Other than Lin Mo, no one in the Lin family has the capital to challenge the city Lord¡¯s Manor. ¡°And Zhao Gongming seems to have known all of this long ago. His expression didn¡¯t change at all as he spoke indifferently. However, just as he said, if Lin Mo was the only one in the Lin family who had the ability to compete with the city Lord¡¯s estate. Lin Mo was the owner of the auction house. How could he compete with the customers for the auction item? Wasn¡¯t this breaking the rules? ¡°What?¡± ¡°This tier 5 medicinal pill was given by the Duanmu family. Why did the Duanmu family¡­¡± Hearing this, the first elder of the Zhao family was shocked. He wanted to say something, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly understood something. ¡°The Duanmu family¡­ doesn¡¯t want the city Lord Manor to get this Young Purple Crystal Tiger King?¡± ¡°They want to do the Duanmu family a favor again? That¡¯s why they called Qin Xiao back during his daughter¡¯s coming of age ceremony?¡± Hearing this, the head of the Zhao family nodded. This was a countermeasure that the three families had discussed before the auction began. According to the information that the Lin family received, the Duanmu family¡¯s attitude toward Qin Xiao was very ambiguous. They had the intention of cooperating, but they did not want Qin Xiao to expand in Forest City. Moreover, if the Duanmu family wanted to cooperate, their first target would naturally be Lin Mo, who did not have any status or background for the time being! The city Lord¡¯s Manor, the Bai family, the Qi family, and the Zhao family all had important figures of the imperial city behind them. Cooperating with any of them would be risky. Moreover, no one dared to be certain that Qin Xiao had returned this time just for his daughter¡¯s coming of age ceremony. Perhaps he had come with a mission? Of course, the Duanmu family would not give the Lin family a tier-5 medicinal pill for free. In order to exchange for this Tier-5 medicinal pill, the Lin family had naturally paid a great price. This was the current situation in Lin City. Lin Mo seemed to want to monopolize the city. He was estranged from the Lin family, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future. Bai Wuheng of the four big families had already disappeared. Coupled with the fact that he had bought the formation and spent all his savings, he was at risk of being squeezed out. Chapter 167 - Tier 8 Legendary Ferocious Beast Cub! There were also the Duanmu clan and the mercenary group, which were on the edge of the city, who were the ¡®troublemakers¡¯. Qin Xiao¡¯s return at this time really made people unable to help but guess his intentions! ¡°Just¡­ two tier 5 medicinal pills can snatch this Amethyst Tiger King Cub from the city lord¡¯s manor?¡± The Zhao Clan Leader looked in the direction of the city lord¡¯s manor, and a strange glint flashed through his eyes. It was said that this city lord had a special relationship with the imperial family. In the city lord¡¯s private room¡­ ¡°City lord, should we continue raising the price?¡± The middle-aged man looked at City Lord Qin Xiao and asked nervously. The Lin family¡¯s offer of two tier 5 medicinal pills had truly exceeded his expectations. The Lin family was the weakest of the three great clans, right? / To actually be able to take out two tier 5 medicinal pills this time was truly inconceivable. ¡°Nonsense, of course, I have to bid!¡± ¡°I must obtain this Amethyst Tiger King cub.¡± City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s expression was somewhat ugly at this moment. The Lin family¡¯s move had caught him somewhat unprepared. He could not understand how the Lin family was able to take out two tier 5 medicinal pills? After all, even he could only take out two tier 5 medicinal pills! ¡°Could it be¡­¡± Suddenly, City Lord Qin Xiao thought of something. He looked at Duanmu Jia on the auction stage, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. ¡°The Duanmu clan huh!¡± ¡°I thought that you guys had thought it through and were prepared to support me to unify Lin City. It turns out that you want to play this hand and weaken my strength¡­¡± ¡°Their true goal is to support Lin Mo and replace the original position of the Bai clan, right?¡± ¡°However, do you think that this will stop me from obtaining the Amethyst Tiger King cub?¡± ¡°What a joke!¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯ll let you guys suffer a crushing defeat!¡± After saying that, City Lord Qin Xiao said to the middle-aged man, ¡°Two tier 5 pills, plus a scroll of tier 5 pill formula!¡± Hearing that, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately stood up and shouted at the auction venue, ¡°3,200,000 low-grade spirit stones, four tier 4 pills, two tier 5 pills, plus a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula!¡± Originally, when the crowd saw that there was no sound coming from the private room of the city lord¡¯s manor, he was stunned¡­ Everyone present thought that the city lord¡¯s manor had already given up because the Lin family¡¯s bid was too high. However, when the middle-aged man¡¯s bid was announced, the entire auction instantly descended into silence. Two tier 5 pills! A scroll of a tier 5 pill formula! Such a bid caused everyone present to be stunned. The city lord¡¯s manor actually hid a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula? At the auction venue, when some alchemists heard the city lord¡¯s manor¡¯s bid, their expressions became even more excited. One had to know that to alchemists, the value of a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula was far above that of a tier 5 pill. In the alchemist world, the creation of a pill formula was not as simple as simply taking out a pen to write it down. When creating a pill formula, the alchemist had to use his own soul power as ink and then use a pen as traction to successfully create a qualified pill formula. When using a formula, the alchemist had to use his soul power to invade the formula, and only then would he be able to obtain some necessary data and information for refining medicine hidden in the formula. For example, the number of medicinal ingredients needed, the degree of warmth of the fire, and so on.., These were all things that needed to be paid great attention to when refining pills. Without these materials, no matter how outstanding an alchemist¡¯s alchemy skills were, they would have to go through many experiments before they could finally refine the pills recorded in the prescription. However¡­ During the process of this experiment, it was likely that many precious medicinal ingredients would be damaged. This was an extremely huge loss. Hence, in the hearts of many alchemists, the value of a pill formula was far higher than a medicinal pill of the same grade. In other words, the price that the city lord¡¯s manor had quoted this time far exceeded the value of three tier 5 medicinal pills. ¡°What a pity¡­¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s worth it to be able to obtain this young Amethyst Tiger King.¡± After bidding this price, a trace of heartache flashed across City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s eyes. Originally, this tier 5 medicinal pill formula was given to him by the higher-ups in order to win over the Lin City Alchemist Guild. However, when the Lin family offered two tier 5 medicinal pills, he was caught off guard. He could only take out this scroll of a tier 5 medicinal pill formula. ¡­ ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°How could this be?¡± ¡°How could the city lord¡¯s manor have a tier 5 medicinal pill formula?¡± In the Lin family¡¯s private room, when the Lin family head heard the city Lord Manor¡¯s offer, his face instantly darkened. Now, even if he offered another tier 5 medicinal pill, it would still be unable to surpass the city Lord Manor¡¯s price. How could a tier 5 medicinal pill compare to a scroll of Tier 5 medicinal pill formula? The Lin family¡¯s first elder revealed a dejected expression. After the city lord¡¯s manor¡¯s sky-high price was offered, the outcome was already destined. In this confrontation with the city lord¡¯s manor, the Lin family suffered a crushing defeat. In the end, the three great clans did not obtain the Amethyst Tiger King cub, nor did the Lin family obtain it. Instead, it benefited the city lord¡¯s Manor. This was bad news for everyone! ¡­ On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia knew after the city lord¡¯s manor made a bid. The city lord¡¯s manor had already won this competition. The Lin family could not make a higher bid than this. After Qi Yueheng won the Illusion Spirit Pill he did not have the ability to compete with the city lord¡¯s manor anymore. Thinking of this, Duanmu Jia no longer hesitated. She slowly walked up and said, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?¡± ¡°If not, then this tier 6 ferocious beast cub will belong to this mister.¡± Upon hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s words, there was complete silence. In the Lin family¡¯s private room, the Lin family head only revealed a dejected expression. Seeing this, Duanmu Jia could only helplessly announce the final result. ¡°Since no one is bidding, then I announce that this tier 6 beast cub will belong to this mister.¡± As he spoke, Duanmu Jia looked in the direction of the city lord¡¯s private room. Hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s announcement, City Lord Qin Xiao finally revealed a smile. In the end, he won! [ Congratulations on auctioning the tier 6 Amethyst Tiger King cub. ] [ Obtained 8,000-fold rebate. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining the tier 8 Colorful Fire Demon cub. ] Tier 8 ferocious beat! A Colorful Fire Demon cub? Was this the Colorful Fire Demon that was popular among the people and often hurt people? As Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness entered the system space, he saw a colorful object floating in the air. The dazzling brilliance was actually the flames on the Colorful Fire Demon¡¯s body! ¡°That¡¯s right. It is indeed a Colorful Fire Demon from the folklore, and it is the highest tier Colorful Fire Demon!¡± Lin Mo was extremely amazed. It was extremely difficult to nurture a young ferocious beast. Not only did it consume time, but it also consumed the flesh and blood of other ferocious beasts. For example, cores, various ingredients, spirit herbs, pills, and so on. However, it just so happened that Lin Mo had all of these things! ¡°If it was someone else who nurtured this Colorful Fire Demon, it would take at least fifteen years before it could transform from a young cub to an adult¡­¡± ¡°But in my hands, it only takes two years!¡± When the Colorful Fire Demon matured, it would transform into a Rainbow Fire Demon. However, the Colorful Fire Demon was still a palm-sized butterfly-type ferocious beast. Chapter 168 - The Assassination of the Mysterious Man! However, no matter how good a ferocious beast cub was, it still needed to be nurtured. They could not be rushed. After the auction ended, the various clan leaders made reservations for the auction the day after tomorrow and left one after another. However, Lin Mo believed that in the future auctions, more and more unfamiliar faces would appear. This was because the cooperation of the Duanmu clan was the best signboard. From now on, all the major families of the Yanhuang Divine Empire would know that the Lin auction house was rising. Lin Mo also checked the Lin auction house¡¯s accounts. During this period of time, the auction house¡¯s total profit had already reached 64 million low-grade spiritual stones. This was a real net income. It completely disregarded any operating costs and entered Lin Mo¡¯s pocket. This amount of wealth was comparable to that of the rich in the Imperial City! However, it was a flaw. Although Lin Mo had a lot of wealth, he did not have many assets. Currently, the only thing that could continuously create value was the Lin auction house. ¡­ At night, Lin Mo arranged for everyone to gather together to welcome Duanmu Jia. At the luxurious dining table, Lin Mo did not hide his plans. ¡°Wu Jin, Miao Qing, I¡¯ll leave the Lin auction house to you. As for Jiajia, you can follow me around and help me with some paperwork. At the same time, you can also think about how we should purchase the property with the money we have. ¡°Okay.¡± / Making money and investing were two completely different things. Lin Mo had the Lin auction house that was constantly making money, but if the investment did not go well, no matter how much money he had, it would be useless. After all, a small spiritual stone mountain could produce around 45 million low-grade spirit stones, and the spiritual stone mountain of the Yanhuang dynasty was everywhere. Lin Mo could only be said to be rich. He was still far from being a true big shot. Even the Qi clan, Zhao clan, and Bai clan of Lin City could slightly suppress him. Duanmu Jia understood Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts, he nodded thoughtfully and said, ¡°Master, Jiajia suggested that you change to land development. One is to make the auction house a signboard. Two is to follow your plan and invest while developing the underground black market. You can also build a few warehouses along the way.¡± Duanmu Jia¡¯s plan was very pragmatic, but Lin Mo had his own ideas. He said mysteriously, ¡°What do you guys think about me becoming the city lord?¡± ¡°Become the city lord?¡± Wu Jin, Miao Qing, and Duanmu Jia were instantly in disbelief. Lin Mo did not continue explaining. He just slowly outlined his own business blueprint in his heart. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Mo and the others arranged their accommodations. As Lin Mo¡¯s ¡®private property¡¯, Duanmu Jia naturally had to live with Lin Mo. However, on the way to the Lin family¡¯s residence, Lin Mo felt sudden killing intent. He hurriedly activated the ¡®Cloud Breaking Sword Technique¡¯ and grabbed a sword from the air, sweeping it across. A wave of purple qi shot out from the air, and Lin Mo quickly reacted. ¡°Not good, it¡¯s poisonous! Miao Qing, quickly bring Wu Jin and Jiajia away!¡± He had met an assassin, and when he saw the person who wanted to assassinate him, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. This person was indeed the mysterious person who had killed Bai Wuheng by Zi Yue¡¯s side! ¡°And he¡¯s an expert with the strength of the Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled confidently and used the Swimming Dragon Steps as he chased after the mysterious person. The mysterious person was shocked. It seemed that he did not expect Lin Mo, as the manager of the Lin auction house, to actually have such a strong strength? After several rounds of battle, he actually lost. Just as the mysterious person was about to leave, Lin Mo flicked his finger toward the air and injected a tier 2 ferocious beast core that Duanmu Jia had bought from the Duanmu clan¡¯s business group into the mysterious person¡¯s body. ¡°Cough, cough!¡± The mysterious man¡¯s face turned pale. He had never expected that this beast core had the effect of being poisoned and that it would cripple his cultivation for a longer period of time! ¡°Despicable scoundrel!¡± The mysterious man cursed. Lin Mo raised his brows and only then did he realize that the mysterious person was actually a woman. However, he did not show any mercy to her. Instead, he struck the mysterious woman¡¯s lower abdomen with the Star-Shattering Dragon Fist. The mysterious person¡¯s soft body fell heavily to the ground, causing Miao Qing to be stunned. ¡°Young master is too strong!¡± Miao Qing was shocked when Lin Mo stepped forward and took off the mysterious person¡¯s bamboo hat. As expected, it was a graceful woman in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Her fiery red lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with fury. Moreover, the cultivation techniques and moves she used were all from the royal family. ¡°How could you have the strength of a Dragon Transformation Realm tier 5?¡± The lady was extremely unwilling. Her strength was only at tier 5 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With her strength, she should be able to swim freely in Lin City. She was actually captured alive by Lin Mo who pretended to be weak! ¡°Young master, what should we do now?¡± After seeing that it was safe, Miao Qing asked Lin Mo for his opinion with a pale face. Lin Mo smiled sinisterly. He knew that this woman would not admit her identity. It would be better to lure the snake out of its hole and see if Zi Yue would come to save her. At the same time, he would also probe the truth behind the assassination attempt on him by the mysterious person! ¡­ The next day, In front of the Lin auction house, the crowd was surging, and the noise soared to the sky. In front of the Lin auction house, more than a dozen men dressed in black with indifferent expressions wore sharp weapons on their waists. Their eagle-like eyes constantly swept across the crowd that was coming and going. From the faint aura that was emitted from these men¡¯s bodies, it seemed that these dozen or so people were actually dragon transformation realm cultivators. When some people from outside factions saw this scene, they could not help but exclaim in their hearts. There were Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators among those who were casually used to guard the door. It seemed that the Lin family had really risen up recently. One had to know that even the Imperial City¡¯s auction house might not be willing to use a Dragon Transformation Realm expert as a gatekeeper. These powerhouses were the mercenaries that Wu Jin had hired for the sake of the auction house¡¯s safety. After all, after Lin Mo was targeted for assassination, the Lin auction house could be said to have entered a state of war readiness. One had to know that the current Lin auction house could not do without Lin Mo. ¡°Master, this way please!¡± In the auction house, Wu Jin walked in front and led Lin Mo to a private room. ¡°Alright, go do your thing. Do whatever you want. With me around, no one can cause any trouble.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand at Wu Jin and said in an indifferent tone. When Wu Jin heard this, his mind was slightly shaken. Immediately, an excited expression appeared on his face. ¡°Yes, master!¡± Lin Mo slowly pushed open the door of the private room with Miao Qing and walked in. ¡°Miao Qing, help me keep an eye out. I heard that there are many foreigners coming to the auction this time. There are too many people and there are too many eyes. It¡¯s easy to cause trouble. If someone intentionally causes trouble at my auction, no matter who he is, he will be suppressed first. Lin Mo sat down on the chair and instructed Miao Qing. ¡°Yes, master. This subordinate will keep an eye out.¡± Hearing this, Miao Qing bowed and replied. Then, he quietly released his soul power and observed the situation at the auction. ¡­ ¡°City lord, have you still not found any news about Qianqian?¡± Not far from Lin Mo, in a private room, Zi Yue asked City Lord Qin Xiao indifferently. Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao thought of the news he had just heard and hesitated. Finally, he looked at Zi Yue and slowly said, ¡°Miss Zi Yue, I think the senior has been captured by the Lin family.¡± Chapter 169 - Zi Yues Fury! Hearing this, Zi Yue was slightly stunned, and a trace of joy appeared on her face. ¡°City lord, could it be that you¡¯ve already received news of Qianqian?¡± Qin Xiao clearly did not know that this rich woman who claimed to be from the Purple Cloud Holy Land was the eighth prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Moreover, Qianqian was the mysterious person who was captured by Lin Mo. City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s expression was somewhat unsightly as he said, ¡°I¡¯ve just received news that the finale of this auction is a maid who has just been captured.¡± ¡°What, maid?¡± Zi Yue¡¯s expression changed, and then she thought of something. Her cold and elegant face became somewhat unsightly. ¡°You mean that the maid that the Lin family is going to auction is Qianqian?¡± City Lord Qin Xiao nodded, ¡°Most likely. According to the news, she is a Dragon Transformation Realm expert. It is not something that can be seen everywhere. Moreover, she happens to be a woman.¡± ¡°Impudent!¡± Zi Yue¡¯s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. Her entire body emitted a cold and indifferent aura, ¡°They¡­ how dare they¡­¡± City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that Zi Yue would lose her temper here, ¡°Lady Zi Yue, please calm down. This is the Lin auction house, the Lin family¡¯s territory. Since the other party is able to casually take down a Dragon Transformation Realm expert, it can be seen how terrifying their strength is. We must not offend them now.¡± / Ever since Qianqian went to the Lin family and disappeared, City Lord Qin Xiao had been living in fear and trepidation all day long. This was also the first time he understood how terrifying Lin Mo¡¯s strength was. To think that even when a Dragon Transformation Realm expert made a move, there would be no news at all. This made City Lord Qin Xiao feel extremely fearful and somewhat lucky. It was lucky he did not rashly make a move against the Lin family back then. Otherwise, he might have already disappeared from this world. When Zi Yue heard this, she was silent for a moment before she finally calmed down. She looked at City Lord Qin Xiao and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the money. Later on, no matter what, you must buy Qianqian.¡± Sensing Zi Yue¡¯s cold gaze, City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s heart tightened. He quickly agreed, ¡°I¡¯ll do my best!¡± Zi Yue sat in the private room and looked at everything in the auction. A cold light flashed in her eyes. There had always been auctions for slaves, but there were also several types of slaves. The Yanhuang Divine Empire only allowed cultivators to be auctioned off. The cultivators that were auctioned off still enjoyed human rights, but their social status would become the bidder¡¯s ¡®retainers¡¯. In other words, they would become subordinates. The retainer culture had a huge impact. In the distant Nihong country, which was an island country in the corner of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, the retainer culture was a unique feature. It had developed over a hundred families, as well as warriors, martial arts, and the like. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯re really good. You actually managed to survive under my arrangements¡­ That¡¯s fine, but knowing that you¡¯re in danger, you didn¡¯t run and even used Qianqian as bait to lure the snake out of its hole!¡± Zi Yue¡¯s expression was somewhat exasperated. The reason why she ended up like this was that she had underestimated Lin Mo¡¯s strength when the knockout incense had attacked Lin Mo so easily. ¡­ At the same time¡­ ¡°So it¡¯s the first elder of the Duanmu clan who has come in person. Sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me¡­¡± At the entrance of the auction house, Wu Jin smiled warmly at an old man. ¡°You¡¯re too polite!¡± The old man smiled and said, ¡°I heard that there will be a Dragon Transformation Realm expert getting auctioned off at this auction. This old man came to Lin city specifically for this cultivator.¡± ¡°A retainer in the Dragon Transformation Realm is a powerful assistant.¡± Wu Jin cupped his fists and said, ¡°Then I wish the first elder can get what you want.¡± On the side, many local forces of Lin City were surprised to see Wu Jin being so polite to the old man. They began to discuss among themselves. ¡°What is the background of this old man? Miao Qing is the leader of the Lin auction house. How could he be so polite to him?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? He is the first elder of the Duanmu clan!¡± ¡°Oh my God, it¡¯s the famous Duanmu clan! Their businesses are all over the Yanhuang Divine Empire and Great Yan Divine Empire. Even the city lord¡¯s manor can¡¯t afford to offend them.¡± ¡°The one who entered just now is the strongest person in the Duanmu clan, and also the first elder of the Duanmu clan. I think all of you have heard of his name before.¡± ¡°I know that. The name of this great elder of Duanmu clan is Duanmu Cheng. His name is quite well-known in Great Yan Divine Empire¡­ In the past, he single-handedly killed off the most rampant and ferocious Dark Cyclone Mercenary Group in Great Yan Divine Empire!¡± ¡°You must know that the strength of that Dark Cyclone Mercenary Group is not to be underestimated!¡± ¡°With such a great reputation, this first elder should be an expert who is at the Dragon Transformation Realm right?¡± someone asked. ¡°Of course, but the reason why Duanmu Cheng has such a great reputation and status is mainly because of his other identity.¡± As he spoke up to this point, his face turned strange. ¡°What identity?¡± someone asked. ¡°When he was young, this first elder once joined the ancient martial clan of Great Yan Divine Empire. Later on, because he had to manage the clan affairs, he left the Ancient Martial Arts clan. However, that fellow is quite clever. Although he has left the Ancient Martial Arts clan, every year, he would hand over an extremely large amount of offerings to the Ancient Martial Arts clan. Moreover, every time the higher-ups of the Ancient Martial Arts clan had a joyous occasion, he would personally go and congratulate them. He is a very tactful person.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that when the sect master of the Ancient Martial Arts clan accepted a disciple more than ten years ago, that guy was also invited. Ever since he returned from the Ancient Martial Arts clan, that guy has been talking about this matter and bragging about it all over the world. Of course, being able to participate in the sect master¡¯s disciple acceptance ceremony is indeed quite enviable¡­¡± Even though he said this, this person still shook his head lightly. It was clear that he had some slight disdain in his heart for Duanmu Cheng. ¡­ Lin Mo waited in the private room for a moment before the auction hall was finally filled. After waiting for a moment, clear bell chimes slowly resounded throughout the auction hall. Following the sound of the bell, the extremely noisy noise in the auction hall gradually weakened. Countless pairs of eyes were thrown towards the auction stage in the middle, their eyes filled with fervor. At this moment, the host and auctioneer of this auction, Wu Jin, slowly stepped onto the auction stage. Upon seeing Wu Jin¡¯s appearance, the originally noisy auction house immediately quieted down. Everyone present focused their attention on him. Everyone had heard that from yesterday onwards, Wu Jin and Miao Qing had officially become the senior executives of the Lin auction house. Following Lin Mo, Wu Jin, and Miao Qing, these two lowly figures, had also welcomed their own glory! ¡°Hehe, everyone, I think you must be getting impatient from waiting. Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t say any more official words to annoy you.¡± Wu Jin stood on the auction stage, beaming as he looked at the dark mass of people in the venue. Finally, his obscure gaze swept across the factions in the private room, and his clear voice reverberated throughout the venue. As an experienced auctioneer, he clearly knew what the people below wanted to see and what they did not want to see. Hence, he directly threw away the useless introduction of the opening ceremony. However, it was true. Wu Jin¡¯s move had indeed won the applause of the entire hall. At the very least, even Lin Mo nodded his head slightly. ¡°As the only auction house in Lin City, I believe that the auction hosted by our Lin auction house this time will definitely not disappoint everyone.¡± Chapter 170 - The Divine Pill Prepared For the Colored Fire Demon! Thinking of the quality of the items that was about to be auctioned, Wu Jin was full of confidence. Following that, Wu Jin clapped his hands lightly and said in a clear voice, ¡°I announce that this auction will begin now!¡± ¡°Next, the auction of the first auction of this auction will begin.¡± As soon as Wu Jin finished speaking, a maid slowly stepped onto the auction stage with a brocade box in her hand. Wu Jin walked over and directly opened the Brocade Box. Then, he picked up a jade bottle inside. ¡°Everyone, this first item in the auction is a Qi Gathering Pill¡­¡± Following Wu Jin¡¯s introduction, an intense bidding war began in the auction. The Qi Gathering Pill was only a tier 3 medicinal pill. The honored guests sitting in the private room naturally did not take it seriously. Although they were not interested, it naturally did not mean that others were not interested. To some people whose strength was at the Great Fighter Realm, this Qi Gathering Pill was a good thing. Hence, quite a number of bidding voices sounded in the auction house after Wu Jin¡¯s words. The first bidding continued for a couple of minutes before it was bought by a thin and weak man with an excited face at a price of 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The moment the Qi Gathering Pill was auctioned off, a long-awaited system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Tier 3 Qi Gathering Pill has been successfully auctioned off. ] [ Congratulations, host, you have triggered 7,000 times the profit. ] [ You have obtained a tier 6 pill, Fighter Spirit Spill. ] [ The Fighter Spirit Spill has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note of it. ] ¡°Fighter Spirit Spill?¡± Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback. A tier 6 Fighter Spirit Spill. This was a kind of medicinal pill that could cause a Dragon Transformation Realm expert to be envious. The effect of this medicinal pill was simple, yet it caused one to be envious. This was because its effect was able to cause a Dragon Transformation Realm expert to rise by a level! In other words, if a tier 1 Dragon Transformation Realm practitioner consumed a Fighter Spirit Pill, he would be able to leap and become a tier 2 Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator within a short few days! It must be known that at the Dragon Transformation Stage, the gap between each stage was extremely huge. Many Dragon Transformation Realme experts would still be stuck at a certain stage after bitterly training for a couple of years. This kind of thing was common. From this, it could be seen just how precious a Fighter Spirit Pill was! Of course, although the effect of a Fighter Spirit Pill was extremely coveted, it possessed an extremely high resistance. As long as a person consumed one, the second Fighter Spirit Pill would basically lose its effect on him. In other words, a cultivator could only consume one Fighter Spirit Spill in their entire life! However, even so, the Fighter Spirit Spill was the most coveted spiritual medicine among the experts. Countless people were even willing to pay an enormous price in order to obtain a Fighter Spirit Spill! ¡°I¡¯ll keep this Fighter Spirit Spill for my own use.¡± In an instant, Lin Mo decided on the use of this Fighter Spirit Spill. After the first auction went smoothly, Wu Jin, who was on the auction stage, said a few words before starting the second auction. ¡°Now, Let¡¯s start the second auction.¡± Wu Jin received a small silver plate from a maid with a smile on his face. On the silver plate, there was a transparent small jade bottle. In the jade bottle, there was a light green colored pill rolling about. ¡°This pill is called ¡®Green Spirit Pill¡¯. It is likely that quite a number of people have heard of its name. It is able to breakthrough. Moreover, this green spirit pill is considered an excellent grade medicinal pill. After consuming it, those who are lucky might even soar to tier 2 strength.¡± Wu Jin pointed at the medicinal pill in the bottle and smilingly said. Wu Jin¡¯s words had just sounded when a commotion was stirred within the auction ground. A countless number of people¡¯s eyes were boiling hot as they looked at the jade bottle on the silver plate. This kind of medicinal pill, which could help one breakthrough, was something that one could only come across by chance even in the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire, it was something that could only be found by chance. ¡°Of course, since everyone has heard of the Green Spirit Pill¡¯s name, I believe that you should also know of some of its side effects.¡± A crafty glint flashed across Wu Jin¡¯s eyes as he smiled. He did not describe the backlash effect of the green spirit pill too clearly. He merely vaguely mentioned it. After which, he waved his hand. ¡°The starting price for the auction is 330,000!¡± ¡°340,000!¡± The auctioneer had just finished speaking when someone in the back seat shouted out loudly. ¡°350,000!¡± There were clearly quite a number of people who were interested in this Green Spirit Pill. Hence, in less than a minute, the previous bidding price had been surpassed. The bidding voices sounded one after another in the auction house. In just ten minutes, the price of a green spirit pill had risen from 350,000 to around 480,000. When the price reached this stage, the cries of bids clearly became much more sparse. After all, a Green Spirit Pill costing 480,000 was a little too high for many people. ¡°550,000.¡± Just as the price stopped at 490,000, a slightly indifferent voice finally sounded from the private room. When he heard that the price had suddenly soared to 60,000, Wu Jin raised his head slightly. His slightly surprised gaze paused on the private room where the voice had come from. He muttered in his heart, ¡°Looks like a certain large faction has made a move?¡± Following the shout of this voice, the noisy auction hall immediately became much quieter. Some people who had originally planned to raise the price once again looked at each other and sat down unwillingly. Even though they had some funds, they were undoubtedly overestimating their own abilities when compared to the people in the private room. Since that was the case, they might as well give up. Seeing that no one else was bidding, Wu Jin immediately stood up. After asking three times, he directly settled on a price. At the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind once again. [ Tier 4 Green Spirit Pill successfully auctioned. ] [ Congratulations, host, you have triggered 7,000 times the profit. ] [ You have obtained a Tier 7 pill, Shape-Shifting Pill. ] [ The Shape-Shifting Pill has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note and check it. ] ¡°It¡¯s actually a Shape-Shifting Pill¡­¡± The effects of the Shape-Shifting Pill flashed through Lin Mo¡¯s mind. This pill was enough to drive countless murderers into madness because as long as they had a pill, they would be able to completely break away from their beast bodies. From then on, they would possess the long lifespan of ferocious beasts as well as the cultivation talent of humans. ¡°This Shape-Shifting Pill can be used by the Colored Fire Demon.¡± ¡°Everyone, Next, let¡¯s begin the auction of the third item rank.¡± On the auction stage, seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Wu Jin stood out and spoke. ¡°This time, the item being auctioned is a tier 5 spirit herb called the Emerald Spirit Root.¡± Speaking up to this point, the corners of Wu Jin¡¯s mouth curled into a smile as he said, ¡°Let me remind you, this Emerald Spirit Root is also one of the main ingredients of the tier 5 pill, Muscle Revitalization Pill, that was auctioned just now.¡± Hearing this, everyone in the auction could not help but turn their gazes towards the private room where Qi Yueheng was. Since the other party had already obtained the pill formula, then this spirit herb should be obtained at all costs, right? After a simple introduction, Wu Jin did not say much and directly started the auction. ¡°The auction for the Emerald Spirit Root starts now. The starting price is 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°120,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°140,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± As Wu Jin announced the price, the crowd immediately let out thunderous shouts. Ten minutes later, the shouts gradually stopped. As expected, the Emerald Spirit Root still fell into Qi Yuexeng¡¯s hands. Chapter 171 - The Medicine That Can Revive Someone! However, he had spent a total of 1.6 million low-grade spiritual stones in order to obtain this Emerald Spirit Root. ¡°Damn b*stard!¡± In the private room, Qi Yueheng looked at a private room not far away and revealed an angry expression. The person in this private room was none other than the foreign alchemist who had competed with him for the tier five pill formula the last time. Perhaps it was because he had not competed with Qi Yueheng the last time, this fellow harbored a grudge in his heart. During the competition for the Emerald Spirit Root this time around, he continuously increased the price with Qi Yueheng until Qi Yueheng raised the price to the sky-high price of 1.6 million before he finally stopped. The other party was also certain that since Qi Yueheng had bought the tier five life pill formula from before, he would definitely not miss out on this stalk of the main ingredient. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s fine if the thing is already in hand. Money is a worldly possession. If you lose it, you lose it.¡± Zhao Gongming saw Qi Yueheng¡¯s expression and could not help but comfort him. ¡°Mhmm.¡± Hearing this, Qi Yueheng was silent for a moment before he finally regained his calmness. He turned to Zhao Gongming and said, ¡°Old man, I owe you a favor this time.¡± If not for Zhao Gongming giving him all of his wealth just now, he might not have been able to obtain this Emerald Spirit Root. ¡°Don¡¯t act like this to disgust me. I lent it to you, so you have to return it.¡± Zhao Gongming had a look of disdain on his face as he laughed and scolded Qi Yueheng. [ Tier 5 spirit herb: Emerald Spirit Root auctioned successfully. ] [ Congratulations to the host for triggering 7,000 times profit. ] [ Obtained tier 8 8 spirit herb, Nine-Colored Longevity Grass. ] Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo did not pay much attention to it at first. It was just a tier 8 spirit herb, and he still had quite a bit of it in his system space. However, after the pill formula of the Immortality Pill flashed through his mind, his expression suddenly froze. ¡°One of the main ingredients of the Immortality Pill seems to be this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression became a little strange. The Emerald Spirit Root at the auction was the main ingredient of the tier 5 Muscle Revitalization Pill, and the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass that he had obtained was actually the main ingredient of the Immortality Pill. One had to say, the word ¡®fate¡¯ was truly marvelous. A trace of curiosity flashed through Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, and his mind directly entered the system space. Following that, he saw a Nine-Colored Longevity Grass that was emitting a nine-colored radiance. As his consciousness swept across the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass, Lin Mo immediately understood the effects of this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass. Each color of the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass represented needed a hundred years to appear. When it matured, it would appear in nine different colors. Lin Mo revealed a surprised expression. Not only could this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass be used as medicine, but it also had a huge effect when consumed directly. If consumed directly, this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass could actually increase one¡¯s lifespan by 900 years! Every single color of this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass represented 100 years of lifespan. As expected of a tier 8 spirit herb, its effects were actually so terrifying! Lin Mo could not help but click his tongue, and an impulse arose in his heart, wanting to directly swallow this Nine-Colored Longevity Grass in front of him. However, he hesitated for a moment before giving up on this idea. He was still young, and currently, he did not need to worry about his lifespan. Moreover, with his cultivation speed, there would not be any situations in the future where he would be stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through, and his lifespan would be exhausted. To him, what he lacked was life-saving methods. This Nine-Colored Longevity Grass was the main ingredient of the Immortality Pill. If he refined it into an Immortality Pill in the future, then Lin Mo would be equivalent to having an immortal body. Thinking of this, Lin Mo completely gave up on the idea of swallowing the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass. With a thought, Lin Mo directly left the system space. At this moment, on the auction stage, Wu Jin had already started to auction the fifth item. ¡°Everyone, the auction for the fifth item of this auction begins now.¡± A maid slowly walked over with a purple brocade box. Wu Jin directly went forward to open the brocade box and took out a transparent jade bottle. Everyone could see a purple-colored pill slowly rolling within the jade bottle. ¡°Everyone, what is being auctioned now is a tier five medicinal pill.¡± ¡°This medicinal pill is called the Spirit Ascension Pill!¡± On the auction stage, the moment the medicinal pill in Wu Jin¡¯s hand appeared, it immediately attracted the gazes of everyone present. After all, medicinal pills were different from the previous tier five pill formulas and tier five spirit herbs. The latter was only suitable for alchemists, while the former had a fatal attraction to almost everyone. One must know that medicinal pills were an item of great importance that could be placed on par with Qi methods and fighting techniques. Some medicinal pills that could be directly used to raise one¡¯s strength could even cause countless people to flock to them. Just now, Wu Jin had already introduced the name of the medicinal pill in his hand. Spirit Ascension Pill! Upon hearing Wu Jin¡¯s introduction, many people present who knew the effects of this pill immediately revealed wild joy on their faces. Their gazes were filled with heat as they looked at the pill in Wu Jin¡¯s hand. ¡°The function of the Spirit Ascension Pill is to help those who are stuck in the Dragon Transformation Realm. and unable to break through. By consuming this pill, they would be able to break through the barrier directly and increase their strength by one tier.¡± On the auction stage, Wu Jin pointed at the pill in the jade bottle in his hand and introduced it with a smile. Wu Jin¡¯s words had just sounded when a wave of commotion was stirred in the auction ground. Countless people¡¯s eyes were boiling hot as they looked at the jade bottle in Wu Jin¡¯s hand. Once this pill was revealed, even some of the large factions seated in the private room were somewhat interested. After all, a Spirit Ascension Pill could allow an expert within the clan who was unable to breakthrough to increase his strength by one or two tiers. In the long run, this transaction was quite worthwhile. After all, although in the Yanhuang Divine Empire, the dragon transformation realm experts were the rulers, the Fighter Spirit Realm was the mainstay of many factions. It was naturally best to be able to raise some strength. ¡°Of course, since everyone has heard of the name of the Spirit Ascension Pill, then you should also know its value.¡± On the auction stage, Wu Jin looked at the performance of the people below the stage and silently smiled. A craftiness flashed across his eyes. He only introduced the benefits of the Spirit Ascension Pill, but did not mention the drawbacks of the Spirit Ascension Pill. Although the Spirit Ascension Pill could raise the strength to the Fighter Spirit Realm, it would end this person¡¯s path of advancement in the future. The meaning was that as long as this person consumed the Spirit Ascension Pill, he would not be able to think of making a breakthrough in the future. Normally, only those who were aware that their cultivation had reached the end and had no hope of breaking through to the Fighter Spirit Realm in their lifetime would choose to consume the Spirit Ascension Pill. Wu Jin once again gave a simple introduction before waving his hand. ¡°The auction begins now. The starting price is 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°300,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± Wu Jin¡¯s words had just sounded when someone in the auction house shouted out loudly. ¡°400,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± There were clearly quite a number of people who were interested in this spirit ascension pill. Hence, in less than a minute, the previous auction price had been surpassed. On the auction stage, Wu Jin quietly raised the jade bottle that contained the pill in his hand. When he heard the increasing price that kept ringing in his ears, a faint smile involuntarily surfaced on his aged face. ¡°500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°800,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The bidding voices rose one after another in the auction hall. In just ten minutes, the price of a spirit ascension pill had risen from 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones to around 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones. When the price reached this stage, the bidding voices had clearly become much more sparse. After all, 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones were a little too high a price for many people. Chapter 172 - An Alluring Beauty Auction Item! ¡°1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Just as the price stopped at 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones, a slightly cold voice finally sounded from the private room. Hearing the sudden increase in the price of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, Wu Jin raised his head slightly, and his slightly surprised gaze stopped at the private room where the voice came from. He muttered in his heart, ¡°The first elder of the Duanmu clan is also interested in spirit ascension pills?¡± Wu Jin was able to recognize that this was the voice of the first elder of the Duanmu clan. Naturally, many other factions were able to recognize it as well. Therefore, the bid of the first elder of the Duanmu clan immediately caused the noisy auction house to become much quieter. Some of the people who were planning to raise the price once again looked at each other before sitting down unwillingly, although they had some funds, they were undoubtedly overestimating themselves when compared to the Duanmu clan. Since that was the case, they might as well give up. ¡°1,300,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± However, just as Wu Jin thought that the price would stop at 1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, a faint voice suddenly sounded out. His gaze followed the voice and finally stopped at a private room. Wu Jin raised his brows and muttered in his heart, ¡°This is the Ye clan, one of the three great clans in Huaian City¡­¡± Although the Duanmu clan was the largest family within the business groups, the Ye family was not weak either. Although their influence was slightly inferior to the Duanmy clan, their accumulation over the years made the Ye clan not to be underestimated. Hearing someone bidding, the eyes of the first elder of the Duanmu clan in the private room immediately turned cold. He tilted his head and glanced in the direction of the private room where the Ye clan was. He sneered and said, ¡°1,400,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°1,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± In the Ye clan¡¯s private room, the clan leader of the Ye clan called out unhurriedly. The eyes of the entire crowd were focused on these two private rooms. Some of the aristocratic families in the private room did not step in. They only looked with interest at where the two of them could raise the price. ¡°First elder, 1,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones for a Spirit Ascension Pill is already the best. If we add more, it would be a loss. Moreover, we still have to leave some funds for the final competition.¡± It seemed that the first elder of the Duanmu clan still wants to raise the price, so the second elder of the Duanmu clan beside him hurriedly said in a low voice. ¡°1,600,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± The first elder of the Duanmu clan frowned slightly when he heard this. He mused for a moment before announcing the final price. He had already made up his mind that he would give up this bid if the other party continued to raise the price. However, contrary to many people¡¯s expectations, the Ye clan¡¯s private room did not open its mouth again after the first elder of the Duanmu clan shouted out this price. The Ye Clan Leader¡¯s action caused the first elder of the Duanmu clan to be startled. Soon after, he seemed to have understood something. The corner of his mouth curled into a dark and sinister smile as he softly said, ¡°Very good. If this experiment succeeds, I will definitely exterminate your Ye clan!¡± ¡°This mister has placed a bid of 1.6 million low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who wishes to raise the price? If there is no one else, this Spirit Ascension Pill will belong to him!¡± At the auction stage, Wu Jin was quite satisfied with this price. He immediately asked with a smile. After seeing that he did not receive any reply, he finally knocked the auction hammer in his hand down. As Wu Jin announced the final result, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Tier 5 Spirit Ascension Pill successfully auctioned. ] [ Congratulations, host, you have triggered 7,000 times the profit. ] 1 [ Tier 8 medicinal pill, Holy Spirit Pill obtained. ] Hearing the system notification in his mind, information about the Holy Spirit Pill swiftly flashed in his mind, and a smile appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face. This was good stuff! A trace of surprise appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit Pill was of great value. There was a 50% chance to allow one to raise a large amount of cultivation within a short period of time. However, Lin Mo gave it some thought. This Holy Spirit Pill was completely useless to the current him. At the very least, he would have to wait until he fought with others in the future before this Holy Spirit Pill would come in handy. Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo temporarily ignored the Holy Spirit Pill and continued to look at the auction. At this moment, seeing that the auction had returned to silence, Wu Jin slowly walked onto the stage and said loudly, ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s begin the auction for the sixth stage of this auction.¡± As Wu Jin¡¯s voice fell, he clapped his hands towards the back. Instantly, four burly men carried a steel cage onto the stage slowly. The cage was covered by a black cloth and the situation inside could not be seen clearly. ¡°What is this?¡± Looking at the scene on the auction stage, some people who did not receive the Lin family¡¯s secret notice immediately revealed curious expressions. ¡°It actually takes four people to lift it up. It looks so heavy.¡± ¡°Could it be that there is a ferocious beast inside?¡± In the auction, many people looked at the cage on the auction stage and began to discuss it animatedly. At this moment, the Duanmu clan¡¯s first elder was in a private room. First Elder Mo looked at the steel cage on the auction stage, and a cold smile appeared on his aged face. ¡°Second elder, you should have brought enough money this time, right? I must get my hands on this cultivator!¡± First Elder Mo looked at the second elder and said coldly. The second elder¡¯s expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still revealed a confident smile and said, ¡°First elder, don¡¯t worry. This Dragon Transformation Realm expert is definitely ours.¡± At this moment, on the auction stage, Wu Jin saw that everyone¡¯s gazes were attracted. He immediately revealed a smile and pointed at the steel cage at the side and said, ¡°Everyone, the level of this auction is somewhat special!¡± ¡°This is because this auction item is an unregistered Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator¡­¡± On the auction stage, Wu Jin¡¯s tone carried a trace of mysteriousness as he said. Subsequently, Wu Jin did not continue to be long-winded as he directly walked over. With a pull, he directly lifted the black cloth that covered the steel cage. As the black cloth was lifted, a human figure was revealed from the cage. In the next moment, everyone was stunned as they looked toward the interior of the metal cage on the stage. In the middle of the cage, there was actually an extremely hot figure of a woman! Although the extremely alluring small waist was a little far away, one could feel the softness of that taut waist with a single glance. Although such an expert was rarely willing to become someone else¡¯s retainer, there were still many methods to control a cultivator. Most importantly, there was a process to ensure ¡®compliance¡¯. Qianqian attempted to assassinate Lin Mo. She had a special identity and was definitely an existence that could not be seen in the light. It was because of this that Lin Mo dared to come up with such a strange scheme. He did not believe that Zi Yue would turn a blind eye when she saw her loyal subordinates being auctioned off. If she was really such a person and did not have any dignity, then there was nothing to be afraid of. ¡°This is the auction item this time?¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually a Dragon Transformation Realm expert!¡± ¡°Everyone, please place your bids!¡± ¡°210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°220,000 low-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°240,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± The moment Wu Jin¡¯s voice fell, the men present instantly transformed into wolves and crazily increased the price! In just a short moment, the price had already increased to 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones! Then, the speed of the increase did not slow down at all, and it continued to increase crazily. ¡°310,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°320,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡­ ¡°500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°1,000,000 from the Duanmu clan of Huaian City!¡± At this moment, a cold and domineering voice sounded in the auction. Chapter 173 - Zi Yue’s Appearance ¡°It¡¯s the Duanmu clan again!¡± Everyone was shocked. At the same time, some people who were blinded by desire instantly woke up. Yes, that was a powerhouse at the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was impossible for the major forces present to miss it. At the thought of this, some people gave up on raising the bid and sat down. While listening to everyone¡¯s bids, Qianqian, who was locked in a cage, was filled with anger on the auction stage. She bit her red lips tightly. Being locked in a cage and auctioned in public was simply a great humiliation for her. Unfortunately, although she had the strength now, she could not use it. She could only place her hopes on others¡­ ¡°Lin clan, 1.2 million!¡± When everyone gave up, an indifferent voice sounded from another private room. ¡°The Lin clan has also made their move. I wonder who will buy this Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.¡± / Everyone discussed animatedly. Most of them chose to retreat and not participate in the auction. Of course, there were still a small number of people who chose to increase the bid, but their strength wasn¡¯t that great. ¡°I bid 1.25 million!¡± ¡°1.27 million!¡± ¡°1.3 million!¡± ¡°City lord¡¯s manor, 1,500,000!¡± The city lord¡¯s manor also made a move. As everyone expected, a Dragon Transformation Realm retainer was still worth this price. ¡°1,700,000!¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion, the Duanmu clan¡¯s first elder¡¯s face was gloomy. The city lord¡¯s manor and the Lin clan¡¯s bid were within his expectations. However, in this way, it was becoming more and more difficult for him to bid for this Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse. ¡°First elder, don¡¯t worry. Our funds are sufficient.¡±The second elder saw the situation and quickly comforted him. At this moment, in the private room where the city lord¡¯s manor was located. City Lord Qin Xiao¡¯s body was trembling. Zi Yue, who was in front of him, had boundless killing intent on her body since the cage was moved to the stage. If it was not for the fact that there was still a trace of rationality left, she would have rushed up to save Qianqian long ago. ¡°Lady Zi Yue, calm down. This is Lin City, the Lin clan¡¯s territory,¡± City Lord Qin Xiao hurriedly advised. After a long while, Lady Zi Yue finally calmed down and suppressed the anger on her face. She gritted her silver teeth and said, ¡°Make a bid. You must buy it.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the auction house again. At this moment, Qianqian¡¯s price had already been raised to three million by the Lin Clan Leader and the Duanmu clan¡¯s first elder. Moreover, from the looks of it, the two of them even planned to raise the price, as if they would not give up. ¡°3.5 million! My Duanmu clan wants this Dragon Transformation Real expert for sure.¡± In the private room, the Duanmu clan¡¯s first elder¡¯s face was livid as he said angrily. He did not expect that the Lin family¡¯s funds were also very sufficient. They actually raised the price to over 3,000,000. 1 And when the price reached 3,500,000, the Lin clan¡¯s side fell into silence. Clearly, they were also considering the gains and losses. A Dragon Transformation Realm expert was good, so the Duanmu clan had a determined appearance. If they wanted to bid for it, they would have to pay a huge price. This caused the Lin Clan Leader to be a little hesitant. At this moment, Miao Qing, who was on the auction stage, saw the silence of the Lin clan. He waited for a while and then shouted. ¡°The Duanmu clan offers 3.5 million. Is there any higher price?¡± ¡°3.5 million going once!¡± ¡°3.5 million going twice!¡± ¡°3.5 million three¡­¡± ¡°Wait, the city lord¡¯s manor, 4 million!¡± Just as Miao Qing was about to land his third hammer, the city lord¡¯s manor called out the price again. The face of the first elder of the Duanmu clan, who had just revealed a smile, instantly collapsed. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said coldly, ¡°The city lord¡¯s manor is really rich and overbearing. They spent four million directly.¡± Hearing that, Qin Xiao did not stand on ceremony and retorted on the spot, ¡°In comparison, the Duanmu clan is even more rich and overbearing.¡± ¡°I bid 4.1 million.¡± Duanmu Cheng made another bid, unwilling to give up on this Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse. At the same time, City Lord Qin Xiao also made a bid. Moreover, he made a one-time bid of 5.5 million, shocking the entire venue. This scene also shocked Miao Qing on the auction stage. He did not expect the price to be raised to this extent. ¡°It¡¯s finally here.¡± At this moment, Lin Mo, who was sitting behind the scenes, smiled. City Lord Qin Xiao had suddenly made such a generous move. It seemed like he had received an order. At this stage of the auction, it was already nearing the end. Zi Yue had already been lured out, but he did not know what the other party would do next. ¡°5,500,000 three times, sold. Congratulations to the city lord¡¯s manor for successfully bidding for the last item.¡± Under the competition between the city lord¡¯s manor and the Duanmu clan, the final bid was raised to 5,500,000 by City Lord Qin Xiao. The sudden increase in the city lord¡¯s funds was an eye-opener for everyone. Along with the successful auction this time, Lin Mo also received a system notification. [ Tier 2 Dragon Transformation Realm maid auctioned successfully. ] [ Congratulations to host for triggering 7,000 times the rebate. ] [ Obtained Tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet. It¡¯s able to evolve by devouring materials. ] Hearing the introduction of the system, Lin Mo quickly check the role of this puppet, the face on his face became even wider. ¡°A puppet at tier 15 would be a good help.¡± Lin Mo is very surprised. He did not expect to get a puppet in return after auctioning a cultivator. In this way, he would have more cards to play. Even if Zi Yue¡¯s hand has more powerful, he was not afraid. ¡­ ¡°B*stard!¡± At this moment, in the Duanmu clan¡¯s private room, First Elder Duanmu Cheng was extremely furious. With a slap, he smashed the golden wood table and chair in front of him into pieces. Beside him, the second Eelder¡¯s face was ashen, but he did not dare to say anything. ¡°What should we do? What should we do about the experiment?¡± Duanmu Cheng almost roared out loud. He had brought so much money, but in the end, he was caught unprepared by the city lord¡¯s manor. ¡°First elder, there¡¯s nothing we can do. The experiment can only be put on hold for now¡­¡± the second elder said bitterly. On the other side, the atmosphere in the private room where the city lord¡¯s manor was located was also stiff. Lady Zi Yue was expressionless. Behind her, City Lord Qin Xiao did not dare to say anything and just stood there. ¡°Let¡¯s go and pick up Qianqian.¡± After a long while, Lady Zi Yue finally opened her mouth and said something. The few of them left the private room and went to look for Miao Qing to ask for the proceeds from the auction. After handing over the spiritual stones, Lady Zi Yue released Qianqian. The latter¡¯s face was still filled with anger. Even when facing Zi Yue, she still pursed her red lips tightly and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Senior, are you alright?¡± It was City Lord Qin Xiao who was startled. He thought that Qianqian had been tampered with by Lin Mo. However, this kind of greeting also made Qianqian feel ashamed. She glared fiercely at Qin Xiao and looked at Lady Zi Yue. ¡°His strength is at least at tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± His strength far surpassed hers, which was also an important reason why she was captured. ¡°Leave it to me,¡± Lady Zi Yue said as she looked up at Miao Qing who was receiving guests. ¡°Is there a matter with this guest?¡± Miao Qing asked with a smile. ¡°I want to meet your manager. I wonder if you can introduce me?¡± Lady Zi Yue said slowly, planning to meet this Lin Mo again. ¡°You want to meet the Young Master?¡± Miao Qing was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a chuckle from behind. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Chapter 174 - Zi Yue’s Invitation Lin Mo slowly walked out with a smile on his face, causing Zi Yue to clench her teeth tightly. She did not expect that Lin Mo had hidden so much of his strength, and even Qianqian had not been able to finish him off. ¡°Manager Lin sure has a good method.¡± Zi Yue forcefully suppressed her anger, wanting to make a move here and finish off Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s just fine,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°Young Master Lin, I¡¯ve set up a banquet at Drunken Immortal Restaurant. I wonder if you would do me the honor of attending?¡± Zi Yue¡¯s face was expressionless as she spoke slowly. ¡°Master, you can¡¯t.¡± Seeing this, Miao Qing hurriedly spoke out to stop Lin Mo. Zi Yue clearly did not have good intentions. After all, they had just captured the other party¡¯s people and auctioned her off as a maid. Now that Zi Yue had invited Lin Mo to the banquet, this banquet was somewhat similar to the Hongmen banquet. / ¡°Sure, since we can be invited to the lady¡¯s banquet, why not?¡± Lin Mo smiled. After giving Miao Qing and the others a few instructions, he followed Zi Yue and left. The surrounding crowd did not know what exactly had happened, but they still looked at Lin Mo with envy. When Lin Mo arrived at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Lady Zi Yue personally welcomed him. The atmosphere was very grand. She was still as otherworldly as before. Her peerless looks were unparalleled, her figure was slender, and some of her white dresses made her look like a fairy from the heavens. The appearance of Lady Zi yue made many guests of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant excited. Under everyone¡¯s envious gazes, Lin Mo slowly walked into the tower and left everyone¡¯s line of sight. In everyone¡¯s eyes, Lin Mo was incomparably glorious and gained the beauty¡¯s heart. However, as the main character, Lin Mo did not dare to let his guard down for even a moment. Last time, it was due to a moment of carelessness. This time, no matter what he said, he could not fall for it. ¡°Young Master Lin, what plans do you have in the future?¡± Zi Yue was the first to speak as if Qianqian¡¯s incident had never happened. However, Qianqian was very hostile toward Lin Mo. She stepped forward and said, ¡°Master, this fellow is a despicable person. Why don¡¯t you take the opportunity to kill him now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t agree with your words. You were the one who wanted to kill me.¡± Lin Mo did not think much of it. Although it was a great humiliation to have her auctioned off as a maid, they had already come to assassinate her. Even if Lin Mo killed her, it would not be too much. ¡°You¡­¡± Qianqian was anxious, but she was rendered speechless by Lin Mo¡¯s words. Meanwhile, Qing Wen and Qing Wu, who was behind Zi Yue, placed their hands on the long sword by their waist. As long as Zi Yue gave the order, they would immediately attack. ¡°What? You invited me here just to kill me?¡± Lin Mo calmly sat down, looking as if he was watching a good show. Seeing this, Qing Wen and Qing Wu pulled out their swords, ready to attack at any time. ¡°You two stand down.¡± ¡°Qianqian, calm down too.¡± Finally, Zi Yue spoke, and a powerful aura emerged from her body, suppressing Qing Wen and Qing Wu, who were about to attack. ¡°Young Master Lin, we were indeed a little unhappy earlier. I apologize to you.¡± Zi Yue picked up the wine jug and poured a cup of wine for Lin Mo. ¡°Miss Zi Yue, you can speak your mind.¡± Lin Mo did not touch the wine cup on the table and spoke bluntly. Seeing this, Lin Mo sighed in his heart. He had been careless. The people of the royal family were indeed not to be trifled with. On the surface, the aura that Zi Yue had released earlier was to stop Qing Wen and Qing Wu. However, it was deliberately shown to Lin Mo. From the aura, Lin Mo could be sure that this eighth prince¡¯s strength was extraordinary. Lin Mo¡¯s strength could be considered to be at the peak of the tier 9 Transformation Dragon Realm, and the strength that Zi Yue displayed was obviously stronger than his. ¡°You and I have been scheming against each other before, so it can be said that we know each other quite well. Why don¡¯t we join hands?¡± Zi Yue said with a smile. ¡°How do we work together?¡±Lin Mo said frankly. Lady Zi Yue¡¯s expression was calm as she said slowly, ¡°With your intelligence, I believe you have already guessed my true identity.¡± ¡°The eighth prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire is actually a woman. It has indeed exceeded my expectations,¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. When they first met, he had already known Zi Yue¡¯s true identity from the water dragon pendant. ¡°Follow me, and I¡¯ll give you everything you want.¡± Zi Yue opened her mouth, promising Lin Mo benefits. ¡°Forgive me for rejecting, but I won¡¯t follow anyone.¡± Lin Mo rejected without even thinking. The two of them already had a grudge. It would be difficult for them to work together, let alone make Lin Mo submit. ¡°Then think carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,¡± Zi Yue said softly. ¡°So what?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to rely on someone else. If he did, he would rather be relying on the second prince. Although the eighth prince¡¯s strength surprised him a little, that was all. At the very least, the one who had the upper hand in the battle between the two was the second prince. Zi Yue¡¯s expression was dejected. She knew that she could not press forward step by step. Otherwise, the other party would very likely turn around and join the second prince¡¯s tutelage. Lin Mo was a genius. In the future, when he grew up, he would be an extraordinary figure. However, if such a person could not be used by her, it would be a bit of a pity. ¡°Can you tell me why you¡¯re not willing to join my side?¡± Zi Yue asked. ¡°Because standing on the side of the royal family¡¯s dispute would do more harm than good,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. ¡°Furthermore, how would I know if you would not abandon me after reaching your goal?¡± This was Lin Mo¡¯s concern. These princes were all calculative. He really did not want to deal with these people. Thinking back to the first time he cooperated with Zi Yue, the other party wanted to use three million low-grade spiritual stones as a deposit to buy the tier 7 array. Schemes were really troublesome. Moreover, if the second prince and the other princes knew that he supported the eighth prince, Lin Mo might be quietly eliminated the next day. He did not want to be restricted and preferred to be free and unfettered. If he did not join any faction, where could he not go in this vast world? ¡°You have to think carefully. Follow me and I will bring you countless resources. With your talent, you will definitely be able to shine and become a rising star of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It is not impossible for you to lead a region in the future,¡± Zi Yue advised. ¡°I will naturally fight for the resources that I want, but I will not obtain them through this method.¡± After Lin Mo said that, he did not say anything else. ¡°You are too confident. This world is very big. There are many things that you can not imagine.¡± Zi Yue¡¯s expression was calm, as cold as the Moon. ¡°Thank you for the reminder, but I still stand by my point.¡± Lin Mo stood up and cupped his fists. Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s impossible to follow you, but it¡¯s not impossible to cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Of course, if the second prince came to me to cooperate with me first, I wouldn¡¯t refuse.¡± After saying this, Lin Mo planned to leave. He would never agree to Zi Yue¡¯s invitation. However, cooperating with these princes would bring him a lot of benefits. There were definitely many incomplete copies of martial arts in the royal family¡¯s collection. These were all treasures that were hard to come by for him. With such benefits, it was not impossible for them to work together a little. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to leave the Drunken Immortal Restaurant if you say such things to me here?¡± Zi Yue faintly smiled. ¡°If you wanted to make a move, you wouldn¡¯t have said so much to me.¡± Lin Mo smiled and picked up the wine cup on the table. After drinking it in one gulp, Lin Mo turned around and left. Chapter 175 - Bloody Behind her, Zi Yue took a step forward. Her body was covered in multicolored light, and every step she took gave off a stronger aura. However, in the end, she still stopped. She could not make a move unless she had the confidence to kill Lin Mo. Lin Mo, who was walking in front, did not say anything. He continued to walk forward, and there were not any ripples on his face. However, a strand of Sword Qi had already condensed on his palm, ready to counterattack at any moment. The attack that he had been waiting for did not arrive, causing Lin Mo to feel somewhat surprised. He turned his head and said, ¡°If you want to kill me, then do it.¡± ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s good to know each other, so let¡¯s let go of our previous grudges from now on. Let¡¯s work together happily in the future.¡± Zi Yue said softly, her pretty face carrying a trace of regret. She regretted that she had not been able to recruit Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, in that case, thank you for your mercy.¡±Lin Mo laughed loudly. He did not stay here any longer and walked out of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant After a moment, he left the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and disappeared from the crowd. ¡°Milady, why did you let him go? Since we are enemies, let¡¯s kill him before he succeeds.¡± Qianqian walked up, not understanding why. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I have my own plans.¡± Zi Yue expressionlessly replied. ¡°However, it¡¯s not impossible for a mercenary like him to side with the second prince. Can we really cooperate with such a person?¡± Qianqian said doubtfully. ¡°Don¡¯t provoke him. His strength isn¡¯t simple.¡± Zi Yue stopped Qianqian and shook her head. ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s not at the tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm?¡± Qianqian did not believe it. Where did Lin Mo get so many cultivation resources? ¡°In short, don¡¯t take the initiative to provoke him again,¡± Zi Yue said softly. ¡°Yes!¡± Hearing this, Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu nodded in agreement. In the crowd of Lin City, Lin Mo walked on the street and felt a chill on his back. In the Drunken Immortal Restaurant just now, he felt an extremely dangerous aura. It was as if he was targeted by a prehistoric beast. However, that aura quickly dissipated. He did not panic and left in large strides. He knew that Zi Yue would not make a move against him for a short period of time. This matter had made everything clear. Lin Mo returned to the auction house. At this moment, Duanmu Jia had also returned from the outside. She had mentioned to Lin Mo previously that they could start developing the land. Otherwise, a single auction house would not be sufficient. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already bought all the land that you asked me to buy. The total cost is 1.75 million low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Also, a few markets in Lin City have also been bought. Here are the account books, please take a look.¡± The Duanmu Jia respectfully handed over an account book, which recorded the cost of each spirit stone in detail. Lin Mo casually flipped through it and nodded. ¡°Well done. I¡¯ll leave these matters to you.¡± After giving his instructions, Lin Mo originally planned to cultivate. However, at his residence, a woman wearing a bamboo hat was already waiting there. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s you!¡± Lin Mo was stunned. In front of him was a graceful woman. After seeing him, her gaze was unfriendly. This person was one of Zi Yue¡¯s subordinates. Her name was Qianqian. Although he and Zi Yue had reconciled, it seemed that this girl was still brooding over the fact that he had auctioned her off as a maid. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. His smile made Qianqian¡¯s expression turn even gloomier. She threw a spatial bag over and opened her red lips slightly. ¡°Milady asked me to bring these over for you to auction off.¡± ¡°Oh, so soon?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. They had just decided to work together and Zi Yue had agreed without even considering it? After receiving the spatial bag, Qianqian prepared to leave. Before she left, she looked at Lin Mo with a strong hostility. ¡°Miao Qing, send a note. The auction will start tomorrow night.¡± Lin Mo instructed and sent the treasure Zi Yue brought over to Master Ao Lei for him to appraise it. After doing all this, Lin Mo walked into the secret training room. He summoned the Colorful Fire Demon from the pet space, and a palm-sized butterfly fluttered in the air. As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the secret room started to rise. Although it was still young, the flames on its body already had a certain degree of destructive power. ¡°Come, eat this Shape-Shifting Pill.¡± Lin Mo took out the Shape-Shifting Pill he had obtained from the warehouse. He had prepared it for the Colored Fire Demon at the time, but because he had been busy, he had been delayed. The palm-sized butterfly landed in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. The flames wrapped around the Shape-Shifting Pill and quickly ate it. At the same time, the Colored Fire Demon¡¯s body began to grow larger. The flames rose and quickly occupied half of the secret chamber. ¡°Is there such a huge commotion from the transformation?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. However, this Shape-Shifting Pill was given by the system as a rebate. It could not be a fake. For such a situation to occur, it could only mean that the Colored Fire Demon was too powerful. The commotion from the transformation was also huge. ¡°How am I supposed to cultivate¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The temperature in the secret chamber continued to rise. In the end, even he had no choice but to retreat. The flames continued for half an hour. When the temperature started to drop, Lin Mo walked into the secret chamber. In the secret chamber, a cocoon formed from flames lay within, and the surrounding heaven and earth energy continued to gather within it. Lin Mo immediately took out 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones and threw them in, closing the door to the secret chamber. He was not able to cultivate tonight. Initially, he had planned to hatch the Myriad Poison Beast while he was still cultivating. However, it seemed that he would not be able to do so now. He still had many things to deal with. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go to sleep¡­¡± ¡­ The next day! The entrance of the Lin auction house was already packed with people. As the time between the two auctions was too short, Lin Mo had specially arranged for the auction to be held at night. However, these people were a little too enthusiastic. They actually arrived at the entrance of the auction house in the morning. At the same time, Lin Mo also received a lot of auction items. As word of mouth started to spread, more and more people came to him to auction. It was not just limited to the cultivators in Lin City. ¡°Master, the treasure you sent last night has been appraised.¡± Duanmu Jia walked over with a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Mo to have a look. ¡°In addition, we don¡¯t have to care too much about the publicity. After all, our reputation is out there. However, there are more people coming now. I¡¯m afraid we don¡¯t have enough items to auction,¡± Duanmu Jia said with some worry. ¡°Master, perhaps this isn¡¯t the only trouble.¡± From afar, Miao Qing also walked over with an anxious look on his face. ¡°Take your time. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Mo frowned. After holding so many auctions, what else had he not experienced? ¡°Master, when I went to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to deliver the post, Lady Zi Yue asked me to pass on a piece of news to you.¡± Miao Qing and Lin Mo left the crowd and came to a secret place. ¡°Lady Zi Yue said that the tenth person on the wanted list of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, Bloody-handed Cao Zhen, was seen in Lin City.¡± Bloody-handed Cao Zhen had once robbed the royal auction houses in many cities and killed all the people inside. His methods were too bloody, so he was called Bloody-handed Cao Zhen. Moreover, according to the message from Zi Yue, this Bloody-handed Cao Zhen was very likely to be the second prince¡¯s subordinate¡­ ¡°Talented people would easily be targeted due to jealousy. As expected, the eighth prince isn¡¯t the only one who has her eyes on me¡­¡± Chapter 176 - High Lin Mo sighed. He had caused such a huge commotion in Lin City, so he was not only paying attention to the eighth prince. ¡°I wonder if the fourth prince will join in?¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked everyone to continue with their work. Fortunately, the Lin auction house was huge enough. Although there were many people, they were all accommodated. ¡°Master, there are more than 10,000 people here. We only have 113 treasures, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not enough¡­¡± Duanmu Jia said again with worry. It was not easy to build a large auction house. If there was insufficient resources, it would be a big blow. ¡°No worries. Let me host this auction.¡± Lin Mo walked onto the auction stage and let Miao Qing go down. ¡°Everyone is welcome to participate in this auction. I thank you all once again.¡± ¡°Manger Lin is too polite. Let¡¯s quickly start the auction. Everyone can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± Someone below the stage laughed loudly. ¡°Alright, since everyone doesn¡¯t like these pleasantries, then I¡¯ll get straight to the point.¡± ¡°There are more people here today, so I¡¯ve also brought out my treasured treasure. The first item to be auctioned is a low-grade tier 7 cultivation technique, Mountain Quaking Fist.¡± As Lin Mo¡¯s voice faded, the tens of thousands of people in the auction hall instantly erupted into an uproar. The entire hall was in an uproar as they looked at Lin Mo on the auction stage in disbelief. ¡°Did I hear wrongly? The first item to be auctioned is a low-grade tier 7 cultivation technique.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t come in vain. The final item must be at least a top-grade tier 7 treasure. I must definitely get it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I never thought that Manager Lin would have such a wide range of connections, and even be able to bring out a tier 7 cultivation technique.¡± Everyone spoke one after another, and the atmosphere in the auction hall instantly reached its peak. Seeing this, Lin Mo also raised his auction hammer and said, ¡°Tier 7 low-grade cultivation technique. The starting bid is 1,000,000.¡± ¡°1,100,000!¡± ¡°1,200,000!¡± ¡°1,250,000!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The starting bid of 1,000,000 was neither high nor low, but it still played a rather good role. Just as Lin Mo had expected, almost 80% of the people were interested in the Mountain Quaking Fist and had participated in the auction. Due to the large number of people bidding, the price was quickly raised to 2,500,000. Even at this time, there were still many people bidding. Many people had come from other places because of their fame, and they had brought enough spirit stones. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s really lively. Our Huai¡¯an City¡¯s Duanmu clan is also participating in the auction. 2,800,000!¡± A soft laugh was heard. Someone in the private room on the second floor called out the price and announced his family name. This scene caught the attention of many people, and they were all discussing it. ¡°Sigh, the competition is too intense. We can¡¯t even get it¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, who would have thought that the first item to be auctioned would be a tier 7 cultivation technique¡­¡± Many people sighed, and there were still some who didn¡¯t give up and wanted to follow up. In the end, this Mountain Quaking Fist manual was still bought by the Duanmu clan at a price of 3.3 million. ¡°What a pity, this Mountain Quaking Fist manual was previously given by the system¡­¡± Lin Mo felt a little regretful and took out the next auction item. ¡°This second auction item is a tier 6 spirit herb, Ice Mist Lotus. It has a miraculous effect on ice attribute cultivators.¡± ¡°The starting price is 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo held a tray and said with a smile. This was something Zi Yue had given him to auction. tier 6 spirit herbs were very attractive, and very quickly, the crowd raised the bid to 1.8 million. In the end, an unfamiliar man wearing a bamboo hat placed a bid of 2 million and took the Ice Mist Lotus. [ Tier 6 Ice Mist Lotus has been successfully auctioned. ] [ Congratulations, host, you have triggered 3,000 times the profit. ] [ Tier 7 Ice Crystal Lotus obtained. ] Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo smiled. Ice Crystal Lotus, this item was dispensable to him, so he decided to use it for the auction. ¡°The third item is a mysterious map. This was appraised by Master Ao Lei, and it can be confirmed that this map is not simple.¡± ¡°However, this map is currently in a state of disrepair, and there are probably three complete maps.¡± ¡°The starting price is 100,000 spiritual stones. Friends who are interested in going on an adventure, don¡¯t miss it.¡± As Lin Mo introduced the map, he took out an old piece of parchment. This was also an auction item sent by Zi Yue. Master Ao Lei said that it was very likely to be a map of the ruins, so he did not recommend selling it. However, with the system in hand, how could Lin Mo hesitate? After selling it, he would be able to obtain a complete map, right? ¡°It¡¯s easier said than done to gather such a treasure map. 100,000 spiritual stones won¡¯t be worth it¡­¡± ¡°But that was appraised by Master Ao Lei. It¡¯s basically confirmed to be a treasure map.¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve heard of Master Ao Lei before. He¡¯s very good at appraising treasures.¡± Everyone spoke one after another as they discussed this incomplete map. ¡°I bid 120,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± At this time, a man called out a price, causing the crowd to lower their voices. ¡°150,000!¡± Someone took the lead, and one after another, people stood up to call out a price. However, they were all rogue cultivators fighting over it. None of the big shots in the private room on the second floor moved, they were not interested. ¡°180,000!¡± ¡°200,000!¡± ¡°250,000!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the end, the map was bought by a mercenary group leader for 300,000. [ The auction of the incomplete treasure map was successful. ] [ Congratulations, host, you have triggered 3,000 times the profit. ] [ You have obtained the complete treasure map, Ancient Flame Relic Map. ] A notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and his eyes lit up. ¡°Ancient Flame Relic, I remember that there is a great city called the Ancient Flame City in the south of Lin City.¡± There was indeed a legend about the ruins there, which attracted a lot of people to set up camps there and establish sects. Unfortunately, people searched for thousands of years but found nothing. There was no news about the so-called ruins. It seemed that my next city to develop was Ancient Flame City¡­ Lin Mo even found the map of the ruins. If he could get the treasures inside and auction them, I would definitely make a lot of money. In a private room on the second floor, Zi Yue brought Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu to watch the auction. ¡°Milady, is it worth it to auction off the map of Ancient Flame City?¡± Qianqian asked doubtfully. ¡°In any case, it¡¯s just a map fragment. If we can¡¯t gather all of it, it will never have any value.¡± Zi Yue shook her head. She did not have the time to collect the map fragments, so she might as well sell it. Moreover, if someone could gather all of the maps, the appearance of the Ancient Flame City ruins would definitely cause quite a commotion. At that time, they could directly follow them. Although having the map would give them an advantage, once they entered, their strength would still be respected. ¡°The fourth auction item is a mid-grade rank 7 spirit pill, Jade Spirit Pill. This is for pregnant women to consume.¡± ¡°After consuming it, the Jade Spirit Pill can greatly improve the fetus¡¯ physique, allowing it to be born with extraordinary talent and extremely high comprehension ability.¡± Lin Mo introduced it. This kind of spirit pill really allowed people to win at the starting line. This was really starting to cultivate in the womb¡­ ¡°Manager Lin seems to have a lot of connections to actually be able to have this kind of spirit pill and miraculous medicine.¡± This time¡¯s auction was exceptionally popular. Each and every one of them was of high quality, and basically, none of them were below tier 5. Chapter 177 - Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword Lin Mo could not help but sigh at the resources of the royal family. Half of the items they had purchased were provided by Zi Yue, and there was more than a dozen tier 7 items. Lin Mo also took out the treasures that he had obtained from the rebates and auctioned them off, causing the number of tier 7 treasures to reach more than 30. In the end, there were very few people who could participate in the auction. Even the Duanmu clan, which had a chamber of commerce in the various divine empires, did not have enough funds. Lin Mo took out many of his treasures and auctioned off over 200 supreme treasures, causing the people who came this time to fall into a frenzy. After calculating in his heart, the net income this time had already reached over 200 million spiritual stones. Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°Huff, it¡¯s about time. This is our first collaboration, so let¡¯s give her a good item.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and auctioned off the treasure before him as he said at the same time. / ¡°Alright, friends, this last item is the final item of our Lin auction house.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Especially in the private room on the second floor, the Duanmu clan, Zhao clan, Qi clan, and other powers. They did not expect that the tier 7 treasure that was auctioned off just now was not the final item. ¡°May I ask, Manager Lin, what tier is this final item?¡± someone asked. Although they already had a guess, they still did not dare to believe it. Could such a treasure really appear in a city like Lin City? ¡°Milady, does he really have another treasure?¡± In the private room, Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu could not believe it. Where did this Lin Mo obtain this treasure from? Even if he really found a relic, this relic would be too luxurious. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. However, the others are all out of money. For him to take out the last item at this time¡­¡± ¡°Is it for me¡­?¡± Zi Yue smiled, putting down the teacup in her hand and turning her gaze toward the auction stage. At this moment, under a burst of dazzling light, a light purple longsword appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°The Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword was obtained by me in an ancient ruin. It¡¯s a mid-grade tier 8 sword. To thank all of you for your support, I¡¯ve taken it out for the auction. The highest bidder will get it.¡± ¡°The starting price is 3 million. Each increment must not be less than 100,000. The auction will begin now.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s hammer descended, announcing the start of the auction for the last item. At this moment, everyone present was shocked. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that a tier 8 treasure would appear in this auction. ¡°Heavens, even in the Imperial City, a tier 8 treasure is still very precious.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, in a small place like LinCity, being able to produce a tier 7 treasure is already considered top-notch. There¡¯s actually a tier 8 treasure.¡± ¡°This trip was worth it. Although I can¡¯t buy it off, it can be considered to have broadened my horizons.¡± ¡­ ¡°Huaian city¡¯s Duanmu clan, 3.5 million!¡± When the bidding began, the Duanmu clan¡¯s financial resources were still as robust as before. After auctioning off so many treasures, they were still able to produce 3.5 million low-grade spiritual stones, which was shocking. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s a good thing that Manager Lin sent someone to inform us yesterday that there are many treasures to be auctioned. Duanmu Qian, you¡¯ve done a great deed by sending money over.¡± Duanmu Cheng laughed heartily. Lin Mo had organized a large-scale auction this day, catching everyone off guard. Moreover, this final finale had made everyone¡¯s intestines turn green with regret. This was especially so for the Qi and Zhao families. These two families had applied for funds from their backers. Unfortunately, the amount they applied was a little small and they had already squandered it. There were almost no people who could compete with them for the tier 8 treasure. Duanmu Qian also smiled and said, ¡°First elder, you¡¯re still the one who guessed that a great treasure was about to be born.¡± While the auction house was silent, the two elders of the Duanmu clan laughed loudly, and a cold female voice appeared. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a treasure. This is really an eye-opener¡­¡± ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll join in the fun. 4 million.¡± Zi Yue¡¯s voice rang out. She had not made a move since the start of the auction. In fact, everyone thought that the lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land had already left. They did not expect that she would still be here. Moreover, she had not bid for so many treasures previously. She was only waiting for the final item. ¡°Could it be that she knows the final item?¡± In the Duanmu clan¡¯s private room, Duanmu Cheng and Duanmu Qian frowned. If they had kept the spiritual stones, they wouldn¡¯t lose to Zi Yue. However, they had been tempted by so many treasures before, so they had made several moves. Now that they were competing with Zi Yue, they would definitely lose. ¡°Hehe, I got a bargain¡­¡± The Duanmu clan fell silent. No one was bidding, and Zi Yue chuckled softly. Although a tier 8 weapon was not as good as a cultivation technique or martial art, it could at least be sold for more than 12 million. Now that she had bought it for four million low-grade spiritual stones, it was already a great advantage. This sentence also made everyone feel helpless. Many people beat their chests and stomped their feet. If they had known that there would be a tier 8 treasure at the end of the auction, they definitely would not have participated in the bidding earlier. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this small Lin City to actually have a tier 8 weapon. This trip was worth it.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s an auction, then I¡¯ll follow the rules. 5 million spiritual stones.¡± Just as everyone thought that the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword would be bought by Lady Zi Yue at a low price, a slightly hoarse voice sounded. ¡°Who is this expert?¡± Everyone turned pale with fright. They did not expect that an auction would attract so many people. Zi Yue had also appeared before, and they already knew about it. However, no one had heard of the person who was bidding now. Some people looked over curiously and saw that the person who was bidding wore a bamboo hat, a black cloth covering his face, and a black robe. After sensing that everyone was staring at him, he snorted coldly. Instantly, a powerful force erupted, and a ghastly and terrifying aura spread throughout the auction hall. Everyone was shocked. This aura was too powerful, and it was pressuring them so much that they could not even breathe. ¡°Bloody-handed Cao Zhen¡­ As expected, he won¡¯t let this auction peacefully¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Although Zi Yue had provided him with information, he still did not know the exact strength of this person. ¡°What are you standing there for? Drop your hammer, no one is bidding higher than me, right¡­¡± Cao Zhen said coldly as he stared coldly at Lin Mo on the stage. ¡°6 million!¡± At this moment, Zi Yue could not sit still any longer and immediately made her bid. Just like Cao Zhen, she raised her bid by one million. ¡°7 million!¡± Cao Zhen did not show any signs of weakness as he continued to raise his bid by one million. When Zi Yue raised her bid to 8 million, he directly raised it to a sky-high price of 10 million low-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Heavens, 10 million low-grade spirit stones. Is this the charm of a tier 8 treasure¡­¡± Everyone was shocked. This price had completely shaken them off. Furthermore, looking at Zi Yue and that mysterious person¡¯s stance, even if they had not bought off a tier 7 treasure previously, this eighth-grade weapon would not be theirs¡­ ¡°Lord, why are you asking about Lin Mo¡¯s strength?¡± At this moment, in the private room on the second floor, Qi Yueheng was kneeling on the ground, looking forward respectfully. There was a man sitting there, holding a token in his hand, which had a phoenix carved on it. However, this phoenix looked a little like a true dragon. This was the appearance of the Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s second prince¡¯s pendant¡­ Chapter 178 - Fighting Against Cao Zhen The man in front of him was a subordinate of the second prince. To be able to hold this token, one could see how high his status was. ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask.¡± The man snorted coldly, scaring Qi Yueheng into breaking out in cold sweat. He lowered his head and said, ¡°This subordinate doesn¡¯t know Lin Mo¡¯s strength either.¡± ¡°However, what can be confirmed is that he is at least at the tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm. After all, he can capture a tier 2 Dragon Transformation Realm expert alive. This bit of strength is still there.¡± Qi Yueheng weighed his options and said. Hearing this, that man was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that a genius could be born in such a small Lin City¡­ ¡°Did you see the scene where he captured a tier 2 Dragon Transformation Realm expert alive?¡± That man asked. ¡°Reporting to my lord, I didn¡¯t see it. I only heard from the spies in the Lin family that there was a tier 2 Dragon Transformation Realm warrior who tried to assassinate Lin Mo, but none of the Lin family¡¯s guards did anything. That¡¯s why I¡¯m certain that he captured that expert himself.¡± After Qi Yueheng finished speaking, he was a little worried. After all, whether this news was true or not still needed to be investigated. ¡°Oh right, my lord, do you have any spiritual stones on you? This is a tier 8 weapon. You can¡¯t miss it,¡± Qi Yueheng reminded. If he could offer this tier 8 treasure to the second prince, he would definitely be appreciated. / ¡°Don¡¯t get involved, the lord has already made the arrangements,¡± the man said and left the Qi family¡¯s private room. He was not satisfied that he did not get any concrete news. ¡°The eighth princess is here too. If it was not for the second prince¡¯s arrangements, this tier 8 weapon would definitely have fallen into her hands.¡± ¡°Could it be that this Lin Mo has already pledged allegiance to the eighth princess?¡± At the thought of this, a cold expression appeared on his face. He had come here this time because the second prince had ordered him to take the Lin family under his wing. The most valuable person in the Lin family was none other than Lin Mo. If Lin Mo had already pledged allegiance to the eighth princess, then this person could not be left alive¡­ ¡°Cao Zhen, stir up some trouble for him¡­¡± He whispered, and a strange fluctuation spread out. Without anyone noticing, it fell into the ears of Cao Zhen, who was at the end of the auction hall. ¡°Got it¡­¡± Hearing this, Cao Zhen smiled. He actually stood up and said, ¡°This kind of treasure is naturally obtained by those who are capable. I think it¡¯s just right for Manager Lin to sell it to me.¡± ¡°I bid 15 million. This time, no one will fight for it, right?¡± Just as he said this, Zi Yue¡¯s expression, who had just bid 12 million, darkened. No matter how high the price of this Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword was, it should not exceed 14 million. This Cao Zhen bid 15 million, and he said it so casually. It was obvious that he was here to cause trouble. ¡°Milady¡­¡± Qianqian was a little anxious. Cao Zhen was pressing them step by step. The situation was not good for them. ¡°Forget it¡­¡± Zi Yue shook her head. Cao Zhen had bad intentions, and it was useless for her to continue bidding. At this moment, the people in the auction hall still did not know what had happened. They only knew that this Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword had been auctioned off for a sky-high price of 15 million, which had broadened their horizons. ¡°Drop the hammer, she¡¯s giving up.¡± Cao Zhen said impatiently while Lin Mo was frowning. Hearing this, Lin Mo could only drop the hammer and give the Purple Heart Dragon light sword to Cao Zhen. He picked up the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword and said, ¡°Customer, the auction has ended. Please take out the spiritual stones.¡± For a moment, everyone looked at Cao Zhen in unison. Some people even thought that Cao Zhen did not have 15 million spirit stones and was just pestering Lin Mo. ¡°Spiritual Stones? I never use spiritual stones when I buy things.¡± As expected, just as everyone thought, Cao Zhen did not even consider paying. In addition to the powerful strength he had displayed earlier, some people could not help but feel worried. ¡°He should not be Cao Zhen¡¯s match. When he is in danger, I will save his life. Then, I think he would be willing to work for me¡­¡± Zi Yue looked at the auction hall and whispered. Even she did not know Cao Zhen¡¯s actual strength. He definitely wouldn¡¯t be simple as he was able to become an assassin under the second prince. She just did not know how strong he was¡­ ¡°Although this Lin Mo is a b*stard, he has his own principles. If Milady saves his life, he will definitely remember it.¡± Qianqian nodded and said. Although Qianqian hated Lin Mo, she had some understanding of this fellow¡¯s style of doing things. At this moment, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Zhen. He said coldly, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s not good for you to break the rules of the auction house like this.¡± ¡°Kid, you really think you¡¯re something just because I called you Manager Lin?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re sensible, hand over the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword and the spiritual stones from this auction. I¡¯ll introduce you to a backer when I¡¯m in a good mood.¡± Cao Zhen sneered. ¡°Master, the guards are ready. Do you want to take this person down?¡± Duanmu Jia walked over at this moment. From the moment Cao Zhen recklessly raised the price, she had already arranged for people. Now, the auction house was surrounded by layers of people. They were only waiting for Lin Mo¡¯s order. ¡°Tell them to leave.¡± Unexpectedly, when Lin Mo opened his mouth, he told the guards to leave. This caused everyone to be at a loss. Since the other party had already provoked him, why would Manager Lin still tolerate it? ¡°Oh¡­ You¡¯re quite tactful. Send the treasure over.¡± Cao Zhen was also surprised, but he still laughed out loud. ¡°Sending the treasure won¡¯t do. Sending you to the West will do.¡± Lin Mo laughed coldly. He pointed his Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword forward and instantly appeared in front of Cao Zhen with the Swimming Dragon Steps. Thunder rumbled as Lin Mo executed the Spring Thunder Sword Technique to its peak. A sharp Sword Qi spread out and headed straight for Cao Zhen. At this moment, the people around Cao Zhen had long retreated, afraid of being affected by the battle. ¡°Tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm, and it¡¯s completely perfected. His talent is very strong¡­¡± Cao Zhen praised. However, facing Lin Mo¡¯s sword technique, Cao Zhen merely raised his hand and waved it. A powerful force penetrated through space and ruthlessly smashed onto Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°Cough¡­¡± Lin Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face instantly turned deathly pale. A sweet taste came from his throat and he almost spat out blood. Forcefully swallowing the blood in his mouth, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze gradually became serious. ¡°Tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± A person who could enter the Yanhuang Divine Empire¡¯s wanted list was indeed extraordinary. The 31 tiers of the Dragon Transformation corresponded to the 33 vertebrae of the human body. One rank was stronger than the other. Especially after tier 9, the difference in strength was getting bigger and bigger. ¡°Blood Mist Ghostly Hand!¡± Cao Zhen roared loudly, his hands instantly turned blood red. At the same time, a black pattern appeared on his arm, and his body appeared in front of Lin Mo as if he had teleported. ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, so I¡¯ll teach you a lesson¡­¡± Cao Zhen¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, and a bloody hand ruthlessly struck Lin Mo¡¯s left shoulder. However, Lin Mo¡¯s reaction was very fast, and he instantly pulled away with the Swimming Dragon Steps. At the same time, the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword released a sword light, and the spring lightning sword technique started to change. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me¡­¡± Lin Mo roared in anger. He had perfectly used the Four Seasons Sword Technique, using the Spring and Autumn Exchange against the blood mist ghost hands. ¡°Ptui!¡± In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s body was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he ruthlessly smashed onto the auction stage. Everyone was extremely shocked, and they were extremely shocked as they watched the scene before them. On Cao Zhen¡¯s palm, a shocking bloody scar appeared as fresh blood flowed out¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s sword had actually injured Cao Zhen¡­ Chapter 179 - Third Looking at the shocking bloody marks on his hands, Cao Zhen¡¯s face gradually darkened. He was a tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm expert, which was considered to be above average in the major cities of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. However, he was injured when facing a tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm junior. ¡°This is the Spring and Autumn Exchange in the Four Seasons Sword Technique.¡± In the private room, Zi Yue, who was about to make a move, turned pale with fright. Qianqian, who was beside her, also had an incredulous look on her face. The Four Seasons Sword Technique was at least a tier 8 sword technique, yet Lin Mo was actually able to learn it. ¡°Not only that, but he displayed it so smoothly, so itshows that he had a certain level of research on the Four Seasons Sword Technique.¡± ¡°It seems that this Lin Mo has obtained the Four Seasons Man¡¯s inheritance.¡± Zi Yue sighed. The Four Seasons Man¡¯s strength was extraordinary. It was said that his strength had already reached the Nirvana Realm when he appeared for the last time. In the auction house, some people who were preparing to escape were also shocked. / They did not expect that Lin Mo could defeat a tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm expert with the strength of the tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°His sword technique is not bad¡­ If he was a little stronger and had a tier 12 cultivation, I¡¯m afraid that I would die today.¡± Cao Zhen wiped the fresh blood from his wounds and said coldly. When he saw Lin Mo was at the tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm, he had looked down on him. Who would have thought that Lin Mo would be able to control such profound swordsmanship? ¡°There are no ifs. You will definitely die today,¡± Lin Mo said calmly. He took out a healing pill and swallowed it. At the same time, another figure appeared in front of Lin Mo¡­. This figure was wearing a bamboo hat and a black robe. He suddenly appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. ¡°Kill him.¡± Lin Mo pointed at Cao Zhen and said coldly. ¡°Kill me? With just you guys?¡± Cao Zhen smiled disdainfully and was about to attack. However, a strange scene happened. The figure wearing the bamboo hat instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind Cao Zhen. ¡°Bang!¡± It threw a punch, and a terrifying force gushed out. The entire auction house shook violently for a moment. If it was not for the reinforcement of the array, the power of this punch would probably be enough to bury everyone. Cao Zhen reacted quickly. His pair of blood-red hands blocked this punch, but they were also sent flying by the powerful force. ¡°This is a puppet!¡± Everyone was shocked again. Lin Mo seemed to have endless trump cards. First, he had the strength of a tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm, then he had a powerful sword technique. Now, he had taken out a puppet. Moreover, the puppet¡¯s combat strength was probably comparable to a tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± Cao Zhen stood up, his hands still hurting faintly. In the next moment, the puppet appeared in front of him. It was different from before. This time, the puppet held the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword in its hand. A tier 8 weapon was extremely powerful. Even though the puppet did not know any sword techniques, the sharp Sword Qi still managed to cut off Cao Zhen¡¯s hands. ¡°Wait¡­ Do you know¡­¡± ¡°Ptui!¡± The long sword entered his body. Before Cao Zhen could finish his words, the puppet had already ended his life. Cao Zhen¡¯s body fell to the ground, fresh blood trickling down. From the start of the fight until now, it had only been half a minute. Lin Mo had revealed three trump cards, killing Cao Zhen in an overbearing manner. ¡°Ding¡­¡± A ring fell from his body. It was his spatial ring, glowing with a blood-red light. Lin Mo gave the puppet an order and picked up the ring, preparing to hand it over to Lin Mo. ¡°Buzz.¡± At this moment, a buzzing sound rang out. A man in golden armor suddenly appeared. He held a longsword in his hand and stabbed it at Lin Mo. ¡°Whoosh!¡± However, the puppet was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Lin Mo and used its own body to block the sword. ¡°Clang!¡± Sparks flew in all directions as the longsword collided with the puppet¡¯s body, causing sparks to fly out. However, this man¡¯s ultimate goal was not Lin Mo, but the spatial ring in the puppet¡¯s hand. ¡°So there are still other accomplices.¡± Lin Mo laughed softly as he executed the Swimming Dragon Steps. His speed was much faster than the golden-armored man¡¯s. He took the spatial ring from the puppet¡¯s hand and quickly retreated. The puppet threw a punch, and a fierce and tyrannical force slammed into the golden-armored man¡¯s body. ¡°Boom!¡± In just a single exchange, the man was sent flying by the puppet, leaving a dozen-meter-long mark on the ground before he finally stopped. ¡°A top-grade tier 7 battle armor.¡± Lin Mo was stunned. A battle armor that covered his entire body was not something that was commonly seen. Although it was a top-grade tier 7, its rarity should not be inferior to a low-grade tier 8 weapon. ¡°Since you¡¯ve made your move, then stay.¡± Lin Mo spoke coldly. Regardless of the other party¡¯s motives, since they were causing trouble in his auction house, then he would just kill them. Receiving Lin Mo¡¯s order, the puppet was just about to make its move when an imposing voice sounded out. ¡°Stop!¡± Naturally, the puppet would not listen to his orders. It raised its longsword and slashed at the golden-armored man. At this moment, the golden-armored man had thought that someone was willing to help him and that he had seen a way out. In the end, the golden-armored man had only shouted once, before stopping. Seeing the puppet¡¯s longsword slashing toward him, he had no choice but to gather his strength to defend against the puppet¡¯s attack. ¡°Clang!¡± The defensive strength of a top-grade tier 7 battle armor shocked even Lin Mo. If he could auction off this battle armor and get a rebate of tier 8 or tier 9 items, he might not need to use the puppet against Cao Zhen. ¡°Its defensive strength is indeed astonishing. This thing can not be missed.¡± Lin Mo smiled, intending to order the puppet to continue attacking. However, his plan was clearly about to fail. A mysterious person wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long saber appeared not far from Lin Mo. This person was wearing black battle armor and the long saber in his hand was also black. It was as if he was an assassin who had blended into the night. ¡°It¡¯s you¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This person was Qianqian. Her outfit was the same as when she killed Bai Wuheng. ¡°You can¡¯t kill him,¡± Qianqian said. After saying that, she said in a low voice, ¡°At least on the surface, you can¡¯t¡­¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo stopped the puppet and let the man go. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The excited crowd was stunned. They did not know who the person who suddenly appeared was. ¡°Why can¡¯t I kill him?¡± Lin Mo said. He didn¡¯t want to let the man go. As long as he auctioned off the tier 7 battle armor, he could get a better one. He did not want to let the man go. ¡°His name is Zhao Yong. He is a third-class executioner, from the Ministry of Justice of the Yanhuang Divine Empire,¡± Qianqian said, revealing the other party¡¯s identity. ¡°Third-class torturer?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. What kind of position was this? Was it very high? ¡°Master, there are a total of first to fifth class executioner, from the Ministry of Justice of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. They are specialized in executing rebels and rioters,¡± Duanmu Jia stepped forward and explained to Lin Mo. ¡°Since he is specialized in the executing the rebels and rioters, why was he trying to assassinate me?¡± Lin Mo asked with a cold gaze. Qianqian was also an executioner, so it was normal for the second prince to have people in the Ministry of Justice. However, was the second prince so unsophisticated? He wanted to kill Lin Mo without even asking him anything. ¡°Zhao Yong, as a third-class executioner, who instructed you to attack Manager Lin without any reason?¡± Qianqian followed Lin Mo¡¯s topic and asked. Chapter 180 - Spending Money to Buy a Life ¡°Humph, you¡¯re just a first-class executioner. What right do you have to question me?¡± Zhao Yong said disdainfully. He was very angry at this moment. Cao Zhen, who he had carefully nurtured, was killed. He himself had not been able to gain any benefits. Now, he was still being questioned by a first-class executioner. It was really embarrassing. ¡°You don¡¯t think I have the qualifications. Then, should we go find someone who has the qualifications?¡± Qianqian said coldly. It was inconvenient for Zi Yue to show her face, but if Zhao Yong insisted, it was not impossible for her to change her identity. Hearing this, Zhao Yong¡¯s face alternated between green and white. He knew that the eighth prince was at the scene. If he really came out, the eighth prince might be biased and even kill Zhao Yong. ¡°Forget it. I was negligent in this matter. I apologize to Manager Lin,¡± Zhao Yong said through gritted teeth. However, everyone knew from his attitude that this was not an apology at all. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not waste any more words. He immediately controlled the puppet to come over and raised the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword in his hand. ¡°Hey, he¡¯s from the Ministry of Justice and you still want to kill him?¡± Qianqian walked in front of Lin Mo and reminded him. ¡°So what?¡± Lin Mo smiled disdainfully. ¡°You sneaked up on me for Cao Zhen¡¯s ring. The way you look at me seems like you don¡¯t think that you¡¯re wrong at all.¡± ¡°Do you really think that I¡¯m that easy to bully? Do you really think that anyone can attack me?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. As he said that, the puppet began to attack. The Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword let out a faint dragon¡¯s roar that reverberated throughout the auction hall. ¡°Lin Mo, you dare to make a move?¡± Zhao Yong was shocked. He did not expect Lin Mo to be so decisive to make a move just like that. ¡°Not only do I want to make a move, I also want to cripple you.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, he walked to the front of the puppet with the Swimming Dragon Steps and took the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword. The profoundness of the Four Seasons Sword Technique was displayed. This Zhao Yong¡¯s strength was the same as the puppet. They were both at the tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm. However, with the puppet supporting Lin Mo, and Lin Mo¡¯s sword technique being profound and unfathomable, it was difficult to guard against. In just a dozen or so encounters, Zhao Yong had suffered heavy injuries from taking a punch from the puppet and the Spring and Autumn Exchange. ¡°Qianqian¡­ If you watch your comrade being killed, you won¡¯t be able to explain yourself even if you go back¡­¡± Zhao Yong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his speed suddenly decreased. Lin Mo found an opening again, and a sword ray slashed onto his body. ¡°Lin Mo, stop. Zhao Yong is the second prince¡¯s trusted aide. You can¡¯t kill him¡­¡± Qianqian said anxiously. At the same time, her gaze would look toward the private room on the second floor from time to time. It was silent there and there was no movement. Seeing this, she could only shake her head helplessly. Could it be that the eighth princess also wanted to kill Zhao Yong? ¡°Manager Lin, I know that I have some friendship with you. It¡¯s better to let others off.¡± A man walked out with a hint of helplessness and worry on his face. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t that Qi Yueheng, the head of the Qi clan? He dares to participate in a battle of this level?¡± Some people were curious. Whether it was Zhao Yong or Lin Mo, they could kill Qi Yueheng with one sword strike. Even so, Qi Yueheng dared to go out. Was he not afraid of death? ¡°Qi Clan Leader, I naturally treat you as a friend. However, others are bullying me, so how can I forgive them?¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. Just as Lin Mo was about to kill Zhao Yong, Zi Yue¡¯s ethereal voice came from the private room on the second floor, ¡°Manager Lin, please show mercy¡­¡± The door of the private room was opened, and Zi Yue walked out slowly with a veil over her face. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Lady Zi Yue to come out and plead for mercy.¡± ¡°After all, this person belongs to the Yanhuang Divine Empire. The Ministry of Justice can¡¯t say anything about him being executed for his mistake, but there will always be resentment.¡± ¡°Lady Zi Yue has come forward to plead for leniency. It¡¯s a good plan to pull the relationship between the holy land and the Yanhuang Divine Empire closer¡­¡± Under the various opinions, Zi Yue slowly came in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Manager Lin, I have a proposal here. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s feasible,¡± Zi Yue said with a faint smile. ¡°Lady Zi Yue, please speak.¡± Lin Mo called back the puppet and said with a smile. ¡°This person wants money, so how about this? Let him spend money to buy his life. It can also be considered as an explanation to both sides. How about it?¡± Zi Yue said. Although she could not kill the second prince¡¯s trusted aide, she could still make him bleed a little. ¡°Eh, this is a good idea. Our Ministry of Justice is not unreasonable. Zhao Yong was in the wrong first. Now that he has paid for his life, the grudge between the two of you will be written off.¡± Qianqian clapped her hands and said. Her words blocked Zhao Yong¡¯s path of retreat. If he refused, then even if he did not die today, he would not be able to keep his cultivation base. Moreover, if he lost his cultivation base, he would probably be killed by Qianqian on the way back. Thinking of this, he started to hesitate again¡­ Sending Cao Zhen to test Lin Mo was just one of the reasons he came out this time. His real purpose was to collect the money from the chamber of commerce under the second prince. If he really handed over this money, he would still die when he returned¡­ ¡°Zhao Yong, what are you still hesitating for? Quickly take out all your treasures. Even Lady Zi Yue has pointed out a way out for you.¡± Qianqian suppressed her laughter and said. Especially when she saw Zhao Yong¡¯s expression, which was as if he had eaten a dead fly, she felt a wave of relief in her heart. ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t really want to live¡­ Alright then, after I kill you, all the things on your body will be mine¡­¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo got the puppet to walk over with a sword in hand and was about to make a move. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll give you 5 million spiritual stones as compensation.¡± Seeing the puppet walking over, Zhao Yong retreated several steps and gritted his teeth. ¡°It¡¯s not enough.¡± Lin Mo said coldly, but the puppet did not stop moving at all. ¡°8 million.¡± ¡°10 million¡­¡± ¡°How much do you want?¡± Zhao Yong roared. At this moment, the puppet had already walked up to him and raised its sword. ¡°20 million low-grade spiritual stones and the golden armor on your body.¡± Lin Mo stopped the puppet and said with a smile. This price was a little high, but it was not to the point where it was too much. ¡°This won¡¯t do. This golden armor is exclusive to third-grade executioners. Even if I give it to you, you won¡¯t be able to sell it¡­¡± Zhao Yong shook his head. As executioners, the golden armor was a symbol of their status. Just like Qianqian, the black armor on her body was also a symbol of her status. No executioner was willing to exchange it or sell it. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. I can naturally find a buyer.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and refused to give in. As he spoke, the puppet moved again and the longsword in his hand was about to fall. ¡°Alright¡­ I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Looking at the sword light on it, Zhao Yong¡¯s heart was struggling violently. He had failed in the task given to him by the second prince. Not only that, even the golden armor that symbolized his identity was about to be lost. At this moment, the auction house was completely silent. These people did not dare to imagine that Lin Mo was a little too daring. Although he was in the right, he would not let anyone off. He was more or less not taking Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s Ministry of Justice seriously. ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Taking the spiritual stones and the golden armor from Zhao Yong¡¯s hands, Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand, causing Zhao Yong¡¯s expression to turn even uglier. ¡°Manager Lin, the troublemakers have all been suppressed. Do you think this Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword will continue to be auctioned?¡± After sending Zhao Yong away, Zi Yue looked at Lin Mo. She had originally thought that if she saved Lin Mo, Lin Mo would be able to properly work for her in the future. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, this tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet had turned the tide of the battle. Chapter 181 - Lin Die ¡°Naturally, we¡¯ll continue the auction. Previously, Lady Zi Yue had bid 12 million. I don¡¯t think anyone would bid higher than you.¡± Lin Mo smiled and handed over the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword in his hand. ¡°Oh right, I¡¯ve just obtained an auction item. The starting bid for this golden armor is one million. Is anyone interested?¡± After selling the Purple Heart Dragon Light Sword, Lin Mo raised the golden armor again and shouted at the crowd. As soon as he said this, everyone in the surroundings shrunk their necks. Even the Duanmu clan did not dare to make a sound. This golden armor was a treasure belonging to the Ministry of Justice of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It belonged exclusively to the Ministry of Justice. Among the people present, only Qianqian and Zi Yue dared to buy it. However, in the eyes of everyone, they did not know Zi Yue¡¯s identity. Therefore, they knew that only Qianqian dared to buy this golden armor. Although her level was not high enough, spending money to buy better armor was within the rules¡­ ¡°Thank you, Manager Lin. Sell this golden armor to me.¡± Qianqian smiled, took out one million spiritual stones from her spatial ring, and completed the transaction with Lin Mo on the spot. [ Congratulations on auctioning a tier 7 top-grade armor. ] [ Received 5,000 times the rebate. ] [ Congratulations on obtaining a tier 8 top-grade gilded golden armor. ] ¡°Tier 8 top-grade, I think one can use it until they reach the Nirvana Realm¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. This auction was indeed a fruitful one. Although he had offended the second prince, he did not care anymore. If he could not beat him, he would help Zi Yue. Although she was a woman, she still had the heart of a prince. Lin Mo had the rebate from the system. As long as he had time, the accumulated wealth was enough to rival the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire. It was not impossible for him to help Zi Yue become the empress. ¡°Everyone, today¡¯s auction is over. Although some things have happened, it has been successfully completed.¡± After saying a few words, Miao Qing and the Duanmu Jia brought their people over and brought the crowd to complete the transaction. Those who did not manage to get any treasures left. Soon, news of what had happened in Lin City spread like wildfire. Some of the major cities even had news of Lin City. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that someone from a small Lin City would be so bold as to make a third-grade executioner pay for his life¡­¡± ¡°In the end, it seems like a disciple of the Purple Cloud Holy Land settled this matter. Which disciple was it?¡± ¡°Hehe, there are a lot of things involved. I advise you not to inquire about it¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± After the auction ended, Lin Mo listened to the report from the Duanmu clan in the room and told them all about the profits of the auction. ¡°Master, due to the grand auction and the numerous treasures, the profit was 235,250,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°The profit from the auction provided by Lady Zi Yue was 103,150,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve obtained 132.1 million low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s report, Lin Mo nodded. This figure was a little out of his expectations. At this point, she looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. Many of the treasures in the auction were added by Lin Mo at the last minute, and they were all of high quality. She did not know how much money Lin Mo had spent to collect these treasures. Thus, she could not calculate the net income, and she could only let Lin Mo calculate it himself. ¡°Jiajia, you can use this money at any time. Use It wherever it¡¯s suitable for investment. You don¡¯t have to save it.¡± Lin Mo smiled and let Duanmu Jia take care of everything while he could cultivate without worry. After the matter with Cao Zhen and Zhao Yong, Lin Mo knew that no matter what he did, strength was the root of everything¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, Lin Mo heard a violent explosion from afar. Flames soared into the sky, and the green plants in the courtyard were ignited. A powerful undulation spread out, causing everyone to fall into a panic. After all, everyone knew that Lin Mo had offended a big shot in the auction house. Could it be that someone was taking revenge now? ¡°This undulation is the Colored Fire Demon.¡± Lin Mo felt this aura and his face was filled with excitement. He rushed toward the center of the flames and spiritual energy covered his body. In a huge pit that was a hundred meters wide, he saw a blurry figure. ¡°Colored Fire Demon?¡± Lin Mo called out tentatively, feeling a little uncertain. ¡°Master¡­ Master.¡± Very soon, a slightly immature voice was heard. There was a hint of timidity and at the same time, there were some sparse sounds of friction. Very soon, when Lin Mo walked in, the flames in front of him were suddenly extinguished. What came into view was a crisp little girl. She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, and there was a lotus mark on her forehead. The little girl¡¯s entire body was surrounded by flames. When she saw Lin Mo walking over, she stretched out her fair and tender little hand and walked over to Lin Mo. ¡°That¡¯s right¡­ After all, the Colored Fire Demon was just born. Originally, it would only take shape when it reached adulthood. However, because of the Shape-Shifting Pill, it took on the appearance of a little girl¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. This was the most perfect condition for demonic beasts. Once it was born, it would transform. If it continued to grow with the appearance and talent of a human, its future achievements would be even more terrifying. The flames on the Colorful Fire Demon¡¯s body gradually extinguished, finally forming a fiery red battle armor on its body. The battle armor had the patterns of flames imprinted on it. On its chest, there were the patterns of a fiery lotus. It was extremely beautiful. ¡°Hello¡­ Master.¡± After putting on the armor, its adorable appearance gave it a heroic and valiant aura. However, the moment it opened its mouth to call Lin Mo ¡®master¡¯, Lin Mo felt that it was very strange. It was a little girl, and she looked very cute. She called him ¡®master¡¯ with a timid tone, making it seem like he was a pervert who abused children¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t call me master¡­¡± Lin Mo wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re so cute, why don¡¯t you be my sister?¡± ¡°Call me brother from now on, okay?¡± No matter what, she could not call him master. Lin Mo would be regarded as a pervert if she walked on the streets. ¡°Brother¡­ brother.¡± The Colored Fire Demon¡¯s small face was filled with doubt. It did not understand why calling Lin Mo ¡®master¡¯ would be despised. However, it soon laughed and called Lin Mo ¡®brother¡¯ sweetly. ¡°Okay, okay. From now on, your name will be Lin Die. Work hard and cultivate so that you can help me deal with my enemies in the future.¡± Lin Mo patted Lin Die¡¯s small head and extinguished the burning flames around him. Then, he walked out with Lin Die. At this moment, Duanmu Jia, Miao Qing, and the others rushed over after receiving the news. They were very surprised. ¡°Master, this is?¡± Duanmu Jia¡¯s eyes lit up as she asked. Lin Die looked very cute. Her timid appearance made one feel tender and loving. ¡°Her name is Lin Die. She¡¯s my adopted younger sister. Go and pick out some clothes for her,¡± Lin Mo said to Duanmu Jia. Lin Die was wearing an armor made of flames, which was very helpful in battles. However, she did not need to wear this on normal days to avoid being noticed. ¡°Yes, master.¡± Duanmu Jia nodded. She naturally held Lin Die¡¯s small hand and said, ¡°Miss, come with me.¡± The chaotic scene was also cleaned up by Miao Qing. He brought some people to repair the burned area. Meanwhile, Lin Mo¡¯s line of sight was looking into the distance. There, a purple figure appeared and waved at him. ¡°Looking for me at this time¡­¡± Chapter 182 - People Who Have Fallen to the Ends of the Earth Lin Mo walked over. This time, only Zi Yue came. The two of them found a courtyard and sat opposite each other in the pavilion. ¡°Miss Zi Yue, can you tell me your real name?¡± Lin Mo took out the wine pot and poured a cup for Zi Yue. She took the wine cup with her jade-like hand. The aroma of the wine permeated the air. Zi Yue smiled as she drank it in one gulp. ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Xiyue.¡± She said and told Lin Mo her name. Her eyes were fixed on Lin Mo. She did not care much about how he addressed her. Besides, if Lin Mo wanted to know, he could ask someone to find out. The eighth prince¡¯s name was not a secret. ¡°Xiyue¡­ What a good name.¡± Lin Mo sighed in admiration. He raised the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He could not help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at Jiang Xiyue¡¯s mesmerizing beauty. It was a beautiful night to drink wine with a beauty under the moon. If word of this got out, it would be a beautiful story. Unfortunately, the other party was a princess. If word got out, he would not be able to live for long¡­ ¡°Miss Jiang Xiyue, why are you looking for me at this time?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. He had just helped her earn more than 100 million low-grade spiritual stones today, and he had even given her a tier 8 weapon. This was quite a big favor. At the same time, what made Lin Mo feel helpless was that many princes of the Yanhuang Divine Empire already thought that they were under Jiang Xiyue¡¯s command. This made him feel very helpless. He had originally wanted to fight for his own freedom. In the end, he still stood on the same boat as Jiang Xiyue. Now that the news had spread, the arrangements of the second prince and the fourth prince for Lin City would probably change. It was just that he did not know what method they would use. ¡°You and I can also be considered to forget our past grudges with a smile. Do friends need a reason to drink together?¡± Jiang Xiyue covered her mouth and smiled. She reached out to take the wine flask and filled Lin Mo¡¯s glass. ¡°In addition, my first confrontation with the second prince was a complete victory. I naturally have to find someone to share such a wonderful thing with.¡± After saying that, Jiang Xiyue poured herself another glass and downed it in one gulp. After drinking two glasses of wine, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face showed a trace of redness. Under the moonlight, she looked particularly attractive. ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be treated as your friend.¡± Lin Mo smiled and enjoyed the beautiful scenery under the moon. ¡°What are your plans next?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. Lin Mo had basically emptied out the value of Lin City. He would not be able to create much value in a short period of time. The spies had sent news that Zhao Gongming of the Zhao clan had received a letter during the banquet. He immediately began to reorganize the family. ¡°Judging from Zhao Gongming¡¯s actions, he¡¯s planning to leave Lin City and develop in another city,¡± Jiang Xiyue said. The second prince¡¯s first confrontation with her had been a great defeat because of Lin Mo. After the fourth prince received the news, he wisely chose to retreat. The Zhao clan, which he had painstakingly built up, could not be suppressed by the soaring Lin family. However, now that Lin Mo was overseeing Lin City, even if they were unwilling, they could only temporarily avoid the edge. ¡°Your strength is still a bit lacking. I suggest that you shut yourself off from the guests and restrain your edge. When the Jingdou¡¯s Dao Conference starts, you¡¯ll amaze everyone.¡± Jiang Xiyue said and told Lin Mo about her plans. She stole the second prince¡¯s limelight and had already attracted the emperor¡¯s attention. He had never thought that the eighth princess, who had always been weak, would be able to defeat the second prince in a small confrontation. The emperor had finally paid attention to her, so she naturally could not let go of this opportunity. She planned to return to the Imperial City to further develop herself. If she was lucky, she might be able to obtain the emperor¡¯s tier 9 treasure from last time. ¡°How about it? Help me. Although I¡¯m weak, I might not lose.¡± ¡°When I become the empress, I¡¯ll make a minister, and you¡¯ll have a high position.¡± It started again. Lin Mo was helpless. They had only just won the first round, and Jiang Xiyue already wanted to become the empress¡­ Moreover, the one they won was only the second prince. There was still an even more powerful crown prince who had yet to make a move¡­ Jiang Xiyue¡¯s return to the Imperial City this time was likely to be a disaster. Although the emperor would not let Jiang Xiyue die, with a pack of wolves surrounding her, Jiang Xiyue was probably not a match for him¡­ ¡°Since you know to let me protect myself, why do you still put yourself in danger?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. The emperor would indeed reward her after she had just made a name for herself. However, even the crown prince would not dare to say that he would be able to stand firm while standing at the center of the storm¡­ ¡°You have cultivated the Four Seasons Sword Technique and have comprehended the highest level of profundity, the Spring and Autumn Exchange. You¡¯ve learned the power of a top-grade tier 8 sword technique, haven¡¯t you?¡± Jiang Xiyue said. She had witnessed the power of a top-grade tier 8 sword technique. If Lin Mo could block Cao Zhen¡¯s attack, he would probably be able to kill Cao Zhen without using a puppet. This was only a top-grade tier 8 sword technique. What if it was a tier 9 sword technique? ¡°I can go to Jing City and ask father for a tier 9 sword manual. I¡¯ll give it to you¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue moved closer to Lin Mo and said this with her red lips. ¡°What are the conditions?¡± Lin Mo asked indifferently. A tier 9 sword manual was such a huge temptation. It was a pity that he, who had the system, would not take the bait¡­ Other people would treat a tier 9 treasure preciously and would do anything to get it. Even if they were living under someone else¡¯s roof, being able to learn from a tier 9 sword manual was not impossible. Unfortunately, Lin Mo had quite a number of tier 9 treasures on him¡­ He had three tier 9 sword manuals. Low-grade tier 9 Four Seasons Sword Technique. Top-grade tier 9 Cloud Breaking Sword Manual. Top-grade tier 9 Ten Thousand Stars Arrival. He did not even have time to learn these things. Quality was more important than quantity. He still understood this principle. As for weapons, he left behind a low-grade tier 9 longsword, ¡®Plain White Snow¡¯. These were all things he had left behind for himself. Any one of them could cause a stir in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Help me, and you can get everything, even¡­ Me¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue moved closer to Lin Mo, her red lips whispering in his ear. She was in the royal family, and she had lived among the consorts ever since she was young. In order to fight for favor, her mother fought fiercely with her former sisters. She hated this. However, she had no choice but to take this path in the end. As a princess, she could not escape the struggle for power. It was not as if there had never been an empress in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Therefore, after she displayed her talent in cultivation, she was given the title of ¡®Prince¡¯. This also caused her to become a thorn in the eyes of her royal brothers. Everyone wanted to get rid of her. In order to survive, she did everything she could to win over the hearts of the people and nurture her subordinates. She climbed up step by step and finally had her current achievements¡­ ¡°This is a big gamble¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. At some point in time, Jiang Xiyue had already leaned on his body and hugged his arm. The temperature of her body continuously fluctuated Lin Mo¡¯s rationality. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Jiang Xiyue said softly. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something. A hint of disappointment appeared on her face as she said softly, ¡°Am I really that despicable¡­¡± The smile on her face disappeared. As the night wind blew past, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s purple clothes fluttered with the wind, as if she was going to ride the wind with her. ¡°I¡¯ve only just made a name for myself, and you¡¯re already admired by tens of thousands of people. I don¡¯t dare to drag you down,¡± Lin Mo said incoherently. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyes were filled with stars. She smiled faintly and said, ¡°Liar.¡± Chapter 183 - Every Moment of Spring Is Worth a Thousand Gold coins The two of them raised their glasses and drank together. They were both people who had fought for their lives in this world. At this moment, they were together. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue let out a laugh that sounded like silver bells. She sat on Lin Mo¡¯s lap, and it was heart-stirring. Lin Mo held Jiang Xiyue¡¯s slender waist, picked up the wine pot on the table, and poured it into his mouth. Jiang Xiyue also came up and grabbed the wine pot, then poured it down toward her red lips. The moonlight was very beautiful, and the scenery in the courtyard was even more beautiful. Lin Mo was not the kind of person who prided himself on being noble. Although the roses were prickly, they could still be picked. He picked up Jiang Xiyue, used the Swimming Dragon Walk, and disappeared into the courtyard. Every moment of spring was worth a thousand gold coins¡­ ¡­ In Lin Mo¡¯s room, a woman lazily climbed up from the quilt made of white jade and silk. / Jiang Xiyue opened her eyes, and there were stars in them. Her hair was messy, and she got up from the bed with a gentle smile on her face. ¡°I should go¡­¡± She put on the messy clothes by the bed and combed her long hair. Lin Mo was very calm. Lying on the bed, he felt that it was a little unreal. After a long time, he smiled gently, and his smile was very bright. ¡°Are you in such a hurry to leave?¡± ¡°Father summoned me. I have no choice¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. She had to leave as soon as possible. She could not be delayed. ¡°You have to be careful. The second prince is not to be trifled with. He won¡¯t tolerate you killing his people.¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s voice was a little ethereal. Coupled with her beautiful face, she was a little like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. Lin Mo was a little infatuated with her like this. ¡°Second prince, huh¡­ After I rose to power, I was destined to be involved in the battle between you princes. Between power and beauties, I¡¯m more inclined towards the latter¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled as he said that. He reached out and pulled Jiang Xiyue into his embrace, sniffing the fragrance on her body. Jiang Xiyue snuggled into Lin Mo¡¯s embrace and said, ¡°I believe that you will succeed and leave a great mark on the world.¡± ¡°The world is unpredictable. Many people pay attention to me, and all the forces are watching me. I might die prematurely,¡± Lin Mo said casually. He would be in great danger in the future. ¡°If I leave in the end, I¡¯ll just be a joke to them.¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. It was really dangerous to rise up on his own¡­ ¡°Are you that unconfident?¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at him calmly with doubt in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m only at tier 9 of the Dragon Transformation Realm now, but I just haven¡¯t fully revealed my trump cards yet,¡± Lin Mo said calmly. ¡°If I really die prematurely, what will you do?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Naturally, I¡¯ll feel a little regretful.¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled, broke free from Lin Mo¡¯s embrace, and stood up. ¡°You and I are both gambling, aren¡¯t we?¡± Jiang Xiyue turned her head and said. ¡°If we fail, at worst, we¡¯ll just die.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not bad that you have such a state of mind.¡± Lin Mo was stunned, and he had a new opinion of Jiang Xiyue. ¡°So, we can only succeed, we can¡¯t fail.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head and moved closer to Lin Mo. her beautiful red lips lightly imprinted on Lin Mo¡¯s face. ¡°That¡¯s it. I¡¯ll see you again at the Dao Conference in Jingdou.¡± At dawn, Jiang Xiyue left and walked on the streets of Lin City. Not long after, she disappeared. The pedestrians on the road were shocked and did not know what had happened. Lin Mo walked out of his room. Miao Qing sent over a pile of visitation cards. Some were from the forces of Lin City, and some were from the cities next door. These people all wanted to curry favor with Lin Mo and get on the list. Lin Mo did not meet anyone. He took a walk in the mansion until Lin Qingyue came and said that the chief had summoned him. Only then did he return. ¡°Lin Mo, a lot of people are paying attention to you. What do you plan to do?¡± Clan Leader Lin Xuan asked. He was able to become the clan leader, so he naturally had some insight and could see Lin Mo¡¯s current situation. Although it was extremely glorious, it was still difficult to get out of it. Working together with the eighth prince to trap the second prince and even kill the second prince¡¯s subordinate Cao Zhen, this enmity was formed. Many people wanted to see how the second prince would face it. At the same time, there were also people who did not want Lin Mo to grow and wanted to kill him in the cradle. Before Jiang Xiyue left, she had said that she had sent people to protect him in secret. However, no matter how strong this person was, it was estimated that he could only protect him for a while and not for a lifetime. ¡°Clan leader, do you have anything to say?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°There is nothing left to develop in Lin City now, and you have been targeted. If you continue to stay in Lin City, it will be very dangerous.¡± Lin Xuan opened his mouth and gave a suggestion. He was just like Jiang Xiyue, cultivating in seclusion. When the Dao Conference of Jingdou began, he would be able to go to Jingdou with an invitation letter in hand. In that case, his life would not be in danger before the Dao Conference ended. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not agree to this arrangement. ¡°If I have to do something, and if I don¡¯t do it, how can I easily back down?¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. Now that he had made up his mind, he was not willing to live in seclusion. It was not in his character to continue living in seclusion. Moreover, the auction profits from the system would be wasted if he hid like this, right? ¡°Brother, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to Jingdou now?¡± Lin Qingyue did not understand. Lin City could no longer support Lin Mo in what he was doing. He had almost completely plundered all the cultivation resources. Moreover, Lin Mo had offended the second prince. If he continued to make a big move, his life would be in danger. ¡°Of course not. I want to go to the Ancient Flame City and open a Lin auction house there.¡± 2 Lin Mo did as he was told. He did not listen to the dissuasion of the crowd. He called Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing. At the same time, Lin Die and Yan Rong followed. She was timid to others. Only by being by Lin Mo¡¯s side could she let go. Now that she heard that Lin Mo wanted to go to the Ancient Flame City, she would follow him no matter what. ¡°Big brother, don¡¯t be afraid. Lil¡¯ Die will protect Big Brother.¡± On the way out of Lin City, Lil¡¯ Die waved her chubby little fist and said her childish words. There were many people paying attention on the way. Some people wanted to go up and strike up a conversation, but in the end, they stopped. The group quickly disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. They walked out of Lin City and dived into the forest. Ancient Flame City was one of the important cities of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. There were many treasures there that could greatly increase Lin Mo¡¯s strength. Similarly, Ancient Flame City also had places where several princes fought over. ¡°Master, Ancient Flame City is a mix of various factions. There are all sorts of factions and there are also princes involved,¡± Duanmu Jia said. There was quite a lot of information about the Ancient Flame City, but most of it was public information. It was not so easy to find out about matters like the princes stationed there. ¡°First Elder Duanmu Cheng is still in Forest City. He sent me a letter after he found out that you were going to Ancient Flame City.¡± Duanmu Jia took out a letter and handed it to Lin Mo. However, the information on the letter only stated that there was a prince¡¯s influence. It was unknown which prince it was. In other words, there was more than one prince in the Ancient Flame City. Even the crown prince might have infiltrated it. ¡°Master, wouldn¡¯t it be bad for us to compete with these princes?¡± Miao Qing asked worriedly. They did not have any backers. Although they had offended the second prince, they still had to extend their hand into the Ancient Flame City. In this way, they would probably offend the other princes at the same time. The gains would not make up for the losses. ¡°It¡¯s fine. When the time comes, we¡¯ll just have to find out which forces the princes have in the Ancient Flame City,¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. He did not mind these things. Chapter 184 - Executioner Elder Luo Haoyu The few of them walked through the forest. Suddenly, Lin Mo stopped and looked ahead. ¡°Who is it?¡± Yan Rong took the lead and stood in front of Lin Mo. he stared ahead vigilantly. ¡°It¡¯s okay. We¡¯re on the same side.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and asked Yan Rong to leave. The other party was very strong, but he did not feel any killing intent. He thought of how Jiang Xiyue had sent people to protect him in secret. Now that he did not live in seclusion and went to the Ancient Flame City in a high-profile manner, the person in the dark could not sit still anymore. ¡°Senior, please show yourself.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and asked the person to show himself. ¡°Are you going to disobey the order?¡± An old voice was heard. The space in front of Lin Mo suddenly cracked open, and an old man walked out abruptly. ¡°What kind of method is this¡­¡± Miao Qing was shocked. To travel through space, what kind of expert could do this? ¡°May I ask this senior¡¯s name?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He did not expect Jiang Xiyue to arrange such a powerful existence for him. Was she showing concern for him? ¡°I am Luo Haoyu.¡± The old man wore a bamboo hat, and his eyes were sharp. His body was hidden in a black robe. He reached out his hand, and there was a yellow water dragon pendant in his hand. Lin Mo nodded. This pendant was the one that Jiang Xiyue usually wore. There was no mistake about its aura. The one who could hold this pendant must be the person that Jiang Xiyue arranged to protect him in the dark. ¡°Elder of the Royal Execution Hall, fifth-class executioner Luo Haoyu?¡± Yan Rong was shocked and recognized this name. ¡°You have some knowledge.¡± The old man turned his head and glanced at Yan Rong. His eyes flashed with a cold light. Yan Rong staggered backward as if he had been struck by lightning. He actually felt a sweetness in his throat and was injured by a single glance. ¡°What do you mean by disobeying orders?¡± Lin Mo smiled and protected Yan Rong behind him. The strength of this old man was at least tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm. In fact, it was very likely that he was an existence at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He could not be underestimated. He really did not expect that Jiang Xiyue could mobilize such a powerful existence. Moreover, it was to protect him¡­ Luo Haoyu looked at Miao Qing and the others with suspicion in his eyes. Finally, he put his hand on Lin Mo¡¯s body and said, ¡°Follow me.¡± In an instant, Lin Mo felt the world around him spinning and the space fluctuating. When they reappeared, the two of them had already appeared on top of a mountain. Luo Haoyu let go of Lin Mo and said. ¡°The princess asked you to live in seclusion, but you want to take risks. If this isn¡¯t disobeying orders, then what is?¡± ¡°Do you know that the Ancient Flame City is the territory of the fourth prince and the crown prince? They divide the area into two parts and don¡¯t interfere with each other¡¯s affairs.¡± ¡°Once you go, you¡¯ll break the balance. It¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll be destroyed by the combined forces.¡± Luo Haoyu said. There was a limit to the number of experts Jiang Xiyue could mobilize around her, especially those at his level. It was already dangerous for her to return to Jingdou. Now that she had sent someone to protect Lin Mo, she was even weaker. At this time, Lin Mo still wanted to put himself in danger. This made Luo Haoyu, who was loyal to Jiang Xiyue, very unhappy. ¡°Senior, could it be that Jiang Xiyue might also be assassinated in Jingdou?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The emperor had personally summoned her. Could it be that these princes still dared to make a move in front of the emperor? ¡°How could it not be? The emperor doesn¡¯t like her highness the princess. Even if she was assassinated, it would just be a show to execute a scapegoat.¡± Luo Haoyu said angrily. Compared to the other princes, Princess Jiang Xiyue really did not have any advantage. ¡°So, you should listen to orders now and wait for the Jingdou Dao Conference to start before going to Jingdou,¡± Luo Haoyu said. Now that Lin Mo had come out, he planned to bring Lin Mo to his secluded place and give Lin Mo some pointers on cultivation. ¡°Buzz!¡± While Luo Haoyu was deep in thought, a golden light flashed and a few treasures appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. ¡°This is?¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Mo, feeling extremely incredulous. ¡°This is a tier 8 top-grade gilded golden armor. It doesn¡¯t have any special amplification abilities, but its defensive power is comparable to a low-grade tier 9.¡± ¡°This is a tier 8 cultivation array, Ten Directions Sealing Array.¡± ¡°And this is a tier 7 movement technique, Swimming Dragon Steps.¡± Lin Mo took out three treasures in one go. Defensive armor, cultivation array, and movement technique. He did not expect Jiang Xiyue to encounter danger when she returned to Jingdou, so he did not give these things out back then. Now that he thought about it, he was selfish. Fortunately, Luo Haoyu told him. Otherwise, if anything happened to Jiang Xiyue, he would regret it for the rest of his life¡­ ¡°Senior, please help me to give these treasures to Jiang Xiyue.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo stuffed all the things into Luo Haoyu¡¯s hands and continued, ¡°At the same time, please pass on a message to Jiang Xiyue to trust me.¡± ¡°Before the Dao Conference in Jingdou starts, I will definitely take down the Ancient Flame City for her.¡± After saying this, Lin Mo did not say anything else and turned around to leave. He found Miao Qing and the others, who were anxiously waiting. Seeing Lin Mo return, they finally let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Big brother¡­¡± Lin Die ran over and hugged Lin Mo¡¯s leg, unwilling to let go. To her, Lin Mo was the most important person, so when she saw that Lin Mo had been taken away, she was very anxious. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Lin Mo rubbed Lin Die¡¯s small head and revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Our target is Ancient Flame City.¡± ¡­ After Lin Mo and the others left Lin City, a piece of news spread, shocking the various factions once again. Lin Mo did not choose to protect himself. Instead, he entered Ancient Flame City. All the major factions in Jingdou knew that the Ancient Flame City was divided between the fourth prince and the crown prince. No one could touch it. Moreover, this was exposed. No one knew if there were other princes secretly involved. At least with the second prince¡¯s strength, he would not be completely pushed out of the Ancient Flame City. However, another voice appeared. They said that Lin Mo had submitted to the eighth prince. Under his instructions, Lin Mo headed to the Ancient Flame City to develop his strength. He wanted a piece of the pie. There were many different opinions and all kinds of messages. At this moment, in a mountain range, a spaceship was flying in the sky. There were only a few people in it. ¡°Milady, isn¡¯t it a little overkill for you to ask my master to secretly protect Lin Mo?¡± On the ship, Qianqian was wearing night clothes. She walked in front of Jiang Xiyue and was a little confused. She had clearly returned to Jingdou and was in danger. An assassination could happen at any time. In the end, she even transferred a few experts to protect a person she had just recruited¡­ ¡°Compared to me, he¡¯s in even more danger¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. She knew what Lin Mo was doing right now. Perhaps this strong fellow had already begun to head to a great city to share the pressure with her. Although the princes might send people to assassinate her, the success rate was still not high. Moreover, they did not dare to create too much of a ruckus in Jingdou. If the emperor was enraged, they would not be able to endure it. However, Lin Mo was different. As long as he appeared in everyone¡¯s sight, anyone could go and kill him¡­ If they really killed him, who else would be there by his side? ¡°Milady, Senior Luo is here. He says he has something to report.¡± ¡­ Chapter 185 - Expelling Wolves By Steering Tigers Qing Wen and Qing Wu¡¯s voices interrupted Jiang Xiyue¡¯s thoughts. ¡°What did you say?¡± She stood up with a hint of shock and anger on her face. ¡°It¡¯s true. He¡¯s waiting outside the ship. Princess, please open the protective barrier and let Elder Luo in,¡± Qing Wen said. Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue reached out and took out a token. She pinched it with her fingers, and in a moment, the transparent light shield outside the ship disappeared. In the next moment, an old man appeared in front of Jiang Xiyue and knelt down. ¡°Okay, you don¡¯t have to kneel when we¡¯re in private. Elder Luo, why did you leave your post without permission?¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face was full of anger. It was okay for her subordinates to have their own ideas, but she was very unhappy that they went against her orders. ¡°Forgive me, princess. However, there¡¯s a reason for this.¡± Luo Haoyu kowtowed and told her the whole story of how he met Lin Mo. ¡°A tier 8 cultivation array?¡± ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± Whether it was Qianqian, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu, none of them believed it. Even Jiang Xiyue did not believe it. It was already very surprising that Lin Mo could take out the tier 7 Mysterious Heaven Array. Now, Luo Haoyu had come with a tier 8 cultivation array. This shocked her. One had to know that even in Jingdou, it was very rare to see a tier 8 cultivation array. Once it appeared, it would either be taken away by a powerful existence, or it would be firmly controlled by the imperial family. Before the emperor abdicated his throne, it was impossible for such a treasure to be circulated, especially to these princes. Once they had such a high-level array, the forces they nurtured would grow and even threaten the imperial army. This was not allowed. Even the crown prince could not have it. Although the emperor allowed them to fight, he would not allow anyone to destroy the foundation of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°There¡¯s also the tier 8 golden armor¡­ The tier 7 movement technique, Swimming Dragon Steps¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at the two treasures with a hint of joy in her heart. Was Lin Mo showing concern for her? ¡°Princess, what are you smiling about?¡± Qing Wu asked, puzzled. Although she had obtained such treasures, it was rare to see such a genuine smile! ¡°Qing Wu, you¡¯re still young. It¡¯s normal that you don¡¯t know these things,¡± Qianqian said with a faint smile. Back then, the princess had gone to look for Lin Mo and had not returned all night. Only the princess and Lin Mo probably knew what had happened. ¡°Qianqian¡­ What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s pretty face was slightly red as she accepted the three treasures. ¡°Elder Luo, what else did he say?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. Luo Haoyu thought for a moment and said, ¡°He said that before Jingdou¡¯s Dao Conference begins, he will take down the Ancient Flame City.¡± These words were very arrogant. The Ancient Flame City was an important city, an indispensable existence in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. On the surface, it was the fourth prince and the crown prince who occupied Ancient Flame City. However, these two people only occupied a part of the market of the Ancient Flame City in reality. Due to their identities, the top families of Ancient Flame City did not dare to act rashly, so they had always existed. ¡°He really talks big¡­¡± Qianqian curled her lips. However, she did not know whether this was arrogance or ability. ¡°I believe he can do it.¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled faintly. She did not know why, but she had more and more trust in Lin Mo¡¯s ability¡­ ¡°Princess, do I still need to go back and protect him?¡± Luo Haoyu asked. He did not understand this kind of battle. However, he was very confident in who to protect and who to assassinate. ¡°No need. Let him do as he pleases. Elder Luo, go and help me with another matter.¡± Jiang Xiyue took out a scroll and directly tore it in half. She said, ¡°Elder Luo, take the first part of the Mysterious Heaven Array to Jingdou. Change its name and sell it at a low price.¡± ¡°As for the second part, take it to Wushan City. Disguise yourself and show the second part. Then, purchase the first part at a high price.¡± ¡°Remember, you must ensure that the array is sold to the fourth prince.¡± A plan slowly came out of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s mouth. Wushan City was the fourth prince¡¯s territory. If a treasure appeared on his territory, he would definitely buy it at all costs. Some time ago, the second prince had asked the emperor for a cultivation array book. Unfortunately, the crown prince had interfered, and in the end, he only got a tier 6 top-grade array book. Jiang Xiyue smiled and said, ¡°The second prince has been longing for the array book. He has been sending people to keep an eye on the auction house. The first part will definitely be bought, but the second part is in the hands of the fourth prince.¡± At that time, she did not have to do anything. The two princes would definitely fight over the tier 7 cultivation array book. The crown prince was in charge of the country. If the two princes fought, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. At that time, the crown prince would not be able to rest in peace. ¡°As expected of the princess. What a good plan!¡± After Luo Haoyu heard these reasons, he understood. A worthless tier 7 cultivation array book would be able to restrain the second prince, the fourth prince, and the crown prince. ¡°Expelling wolves by steering tigers, killing three birds with one stone. The princess can use this time to build this tier 8 cultivation array¡­¡± Qing Wen and Qing Wu¡¯s face was filled with joy. What the princess lacked the most right now was time. Now, she could finally settle it. ¡°Go. After you¡¯re done, remember to go to the Ancient Flame City and strike the forces there. Tell them not to make things difficult for Lin Mo. Put on a show and let others think that this matter has nothing to do with me¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue waved her hand. ¡°Your subordinate will go now.¡± After bowing, Luo Haoyu stood up and left. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiyue did not sit idly and look at the Swimming Dragon Walk that Lin Mo sent over. She was engrossed in it. ¡­ ¡°Master, Ancient Flame City is ahead. The news of us coming here has probably been known by others long ago.¡± Duanmu Jia wiped the sweat on his forehead and said. Lin Mo nodded. This was inevitable. Perhaps the assassins were already prepared. ¡°Big brother, Lil¡¯ Die sensed that many people have killing intent toward you.¡± Lin Die pulled on Lin Mo¡¯s sleeve and whispered. She was a demonic beast and had a very strong sense of danger. As soon as they approached the Ancient Flame City, someone had been watching them in the dark. ¡°It¡¯s fine. They don¡¯t dare to make a move in broad daylight.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. This was the Ancient Flame City. Although those large factions and the imperial family knew what he was here for, the small and medium-sized powers did not know. They only knew that Lin Mo had appeared in Lin City, and he was very good at running an auction house. At the moment, this person had come to Ancient Flame City to do business. If Lin Mo were to be killed on the streets¡­ Ancient Flame City¡¯s reputation would also be ruined. If they could not protect the merchants, who would dare to come here to do business? ¡°Go buy a venue first, preferably a ready-made auction venue.¡± Lin Mo said. No matter what, the auction rebate system was his trump card. As long as he sold treasures, he would be able to obtain cultivation resources. After making some inquiries in Ancient Flame City, he found that there were three auction venues with poor management. One of the owners had even run away, and the salary of his servants had not been paid yet. ¡°Wanxiang Auction House looks pretty good. Why did its owner run away?¡± Lin Mo was in front of an auction venue and was a little puzzled. Chapter 186 - Inviting the Prince Into the Trap ¡°I heard that it was because a boss of this auction house gambled in an underground casino. Not only did he lose all his property, but he also owed quite a bit,¡± Miao Qing said. ¡°An underground casino?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. It was really surprising that there was such a place in the Ancient Flame City. Miao Qing nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s indeed the case. Moreover, when I asked around, someone told me that this casino was organized by the crown prince and one of the three great clans of Ancient Flame City, the Sima clan.¡± This news was very secretive. It was very obvious that the person who told him this must have been instructed by someone. ¡°Then let¡¯s choose this place. Find the person in charge and buy this place.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo lifted his foot and walked in. ¡°Which one of you is in charge here?¡± After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran out. ¡°They¡¯re finally here. Those lords were right as expected.¡± This man seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw and was extremely excited. ¡°This lord, you¡¯re here to purchase the auction house, right? It¡¯s not much, a million low-grade spiritual stones. After you help me pay off my debt, this auction house will be yours,¡± That person said excitedly. What he said caused Lin Mo to frown. He had intentionally told him that the underground casino was jointly organized by the crown prince and the Sima clan. Now, this person had received news that Lin Mo would come to purchase the auction house and even set the price. If Lin Mo¡¯s guess was not wrong, this person should have gone bankrupt a few days ago¡­ ¡°You¡¯re the owner of the Wanxiang auction house. Didn¡¯t you run away?¡± Duanmu Jia asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to run away and was caught. Sir, are you buying or not? One million is very cheap¡­¡± His face was full of smiles as he looked at Lin Mo expectantly. ¡°Alright, this is one million. You can leave now.¡± Lin Mo very naturally took out a cloth bag. There were 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones in it. That person gave it a cursory glance before running off happily. ¡°Master, this auction house sent out an invitation three days ago. They¡¯re going to hold an auction.¡± Miao Qing said. He had gone to settle the wages of the servants here and had gotten the information from them. However, the Wanxiang auction house only had a dozen or so treasures in stock, all of which were at tier 5 or tier 6. This was not enough to support a single auction, but it was not too bad in Lin City. However, it would only be a small-scale auction. For someone in the Ancient Flame City to send an invitation in advance, they would need at least a top-grade tier 7 item. As for them, they did not know how many invitations they had sent. If they had sent the invitations to all the three great clans, then tier 7 might not be enough. ¡°How many items did we bring this time?¡± Lin Mo asked. Before coming here, Duanmu Jia was the one organizing the auction items. However, because Lin City did not have many resources, she had specially gone to the Duanmu clan¡¯s chamber of commerce to purchase them. ¡°Master, we have ten tier 7 treasures, thirty-two tier 6 treasures, and ten million spiritual stones.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. We just spent one million, and there¡¯s still nine million left.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, master. I should have brought more spiritual stones.¡± After Duanmu Jia finished her report, she looked apologetic. She did not expect to be schemed against the moment she arrived. If she had not gone to the Duanmu clan¡¯s chamber of commerce to buy some treasures in advance, she probably would not have been able to pass the first round. ¡°Alright, you guys clean up the auction house. Those servants can¡¯t be used. There¡¯s a mole. Hire mercenaries and hire them at a high price.¡± ¡°The auction will be held in three days. Leave the resources to me.¡± After giving his instructions, he took all the treasures from Duanmu Jia and left. There was also an auction house in the Ancient Flame City. Coincidentally, one of the three great clans, the Mu clan, held an action in advance today. ¡°Is the Mu clan cooperating with the crown prince or the fourth prince¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He planned to participate in this auction and see what they were up to. ¡°What luck! We¡¯ve just arrived at the Ancient Flame City and we¡¯ve already come across such good news.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Mu clan business group has purchased a low-grade tier 8 spirit pill outside. Hence, they¡¯re holding an auction ahead of time. I really want to get it.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about? How can a tier 8 spirit pill be yours?¡± Someone said. This type of tier 8 8 spirit pill was going to be snatched up the moment it appeared. The people from the three great clans were all pumped up. If they wanted to obtain this tier 8 spirit pill, they would have to pay a price. ¡°Tier 8 spirit pill¡­¡± Lin Mo listened to the discussions of the people around him and understood what was going on. The Mu and Sima clans seemed to have joined forces with the fourth prince and crown prince. Now that he had come, this show of force was giving him enough face¡­ They had allowed the auction house he had bought to send out invitations in advance, inviting all sorts of factions to participate. With so many people coming over, if he took out a tier 7 treasure to fool them, he was afraid that someone would tear down the place. Even if they did not tear it down, he would not be able to continue living in the Ancient Flame City. Wanting a tier 8 treasure was easier said than done. Even in Jingdou, tier 8 treasures would only be auctioned on a specific day. However, these people had already prepared the treasures for him and were now waiting for him to buy them¡­ ¡°I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ve already arranged for me to raise the price.¡± ¡°However, I can only play half of this game before flipping the chessboard for you.¡± Lin Mo sneered as he walked into the auction house. ¡°Sir, may I ask if you¡¯re buying or selling?¡± A waiter saw Lin Mo and his eyes lit up as he immediately came forward to welcome him. She was very enthusiastic as she introduced the Mu clan¡¯s auction house to Lin Mo. ¡°Help me auction off all of these treasures.¡± Lin Mo smiled. It was not necessary to be in his auction house to receive a rebate from the auction. As long as it was something that belonged to him, he would be able to receive a rebate from the auction. ¡°This¡­ This much?¡± The attendant was scared silly. Even the appraiser at the counter was scared silly. Did this person empty out his family just for a tier 8 spirit pill? Could it be that this guy really thought that he only needed spiritual stones to buy the spirit pills? ¡°Cough, cough, sir, your treasures are all extraordinary. Are you sure you want to sell them all?¡± The appraiser asked. ¡°I¡¯m sure.¡± Lin Mo nodded. After receiving Lin Mo¡¯s confirmation, the appraiser became determined. He carefully observed each treasure and finally set the price. ¡°Sir, everything has been appraised. This is the key to your VIP room. Please take it,¡± the appraiser said respectfully. Every single treasure that Lin Mo auctioned was worth a million. There was no problem for him to give a VIP card as he had over thirty treasures. ¡°Thank you.¡± After Lin Mo received it, he ignored the attendant beside him and turned around to walk towards the auction hall. The attendant did not continue chasing after him. Instead, he secretly took out a jade talisman and crushed it. At this moment, a man was watching the auction through the glass window. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something and took out a jade talisman. His gaze was thought-provoking. ¡°The prey has appeared. Next, there will be a good show to watch.¡± He chuckled softly and stood up to walk out of the private room. The moment he appeared, he saw Lin Mo walking over. He was stunned for a moment before he immediately smiled and went forward to welcome him. Chapter 187 - They Dont Even Know How to Set a Trap ¡°May I ask if this brother is the owner of the Wanxiang auction house?¡± He had long wanted to see Lin Mo. Now that he had done so, he naturally wanted to let more people know about Lin Mo. As expected, his words caused the surrounding people to immediately recall. ¡°So it¡¯s the owner of the Wanxiang auction house. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± Someone around Lin Mo cupped his fists and said. ¡°May I know the owner¡¯s name?¡± someone laughed. As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person. Moreover, these people did not have any enmity toward him. The only thing that made Lin Mo unhappy was that the man in front of him had a smile on his face, but he did not have any good intentions. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Mo. Greetings to my fellow cultivator.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and saluted, greeting everyone. At this moment, the man who exposed Lin Mo spoke again, ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m Mu Feng. Greetings, Brother Lin.¡± ¡°Brother Lin, aren¡¯t you going to hold an auction that will shake the entire Ancient Flame City in three days? Why are you here and not preparing?¡± Mu Feng had an elegant demeanor. He was very concerned about Lin Mo and wanted to find out more about the auction. ¡°That place has changed its name to the Lin auction house. As for the specific information, allow me to keep it a secret for now.¡± Lin Mo put on a fake smile and said perfunctorily. ¡°Haha, then I¡¯ll be waiting for your good news.¡± Mu Feng laughed loudly and turned around to return to his private room. He already had the effect he wanted. Lin Mo had just arrived in Ancient Flame City and had already become the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. As long as he could not bring out a treasure that would shake the entire city, then his reputation would be tarnished. At that time, the eighth prince would probably come over personally to deal with him. 1 After he left, Lin Mo greeted everyone before entering his private room and locking the door. At this point, he finally could not hold back his laughter. ¡°Speaking of which, I still have to thank all of you for creating momentum for me and even promoting me. Thank you¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed heartily. The other party was indeed very strong, and his moves were a little unfathomable. The eighth prince¡¯s influence was weak, and there was a limit to the number of experts she had under her, as well as the number of treasures she had. If it had been anyone else, they might have really been defeated. At that time, they would have no choice but to return dejectedly. However, Lin Mo was different. With the auction system in hand, the other party would eventually realize how laughable it was¡­ ¡°Welcome, everyone, to this auction. I am today¡¯s auctioneer, Mu Yang.¡± An old man walked up to the auction stage and held a silver plate covered by a red cloth. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk too much. Let¡¯s start the auction.¡± Mu Yang placed the plate on the stage and lifted the red cloth. ¡°Today¡¯s first item, hundred-year-old red jade fire marrow. It was born under the earth and in the magma.¡± ¡°It is said that if a fire element cultivator consumes this red jade fire marrow, at the very least, they will be able to increase their strength by one tier in the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± ¡°The starting price is one million low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be less than 100,000.¡± After Mu Yang finished his introduction, everyone in the auction house started to get excited and began to bid. This was especially so for the fire attribute cultivators, who were all crazily increasing their bids. ¡°The first item is mine¡­¡± In Lin Mo¡¯s private room, he looked at the hundred-year Red Jade Fire Marrow being auctioned and curled his lips. This item was very valuable. While increasing one¡¯s strength, it could also temper one¡¯s body. If it was not for the fact that Lin Mo was not of the fire attribute, he would have used it a long time ago. Why would he be auctioning it? ¡°I bid 3.2 million, who else can compete with me?¡± Outside, a middle-aged man roared loudly, raising the price to 3.2 million. The surrounding crowd was also shocked. This price was more or less enough. ¡°3.2 million three times, sold. Congratulations to the 145th Guest, for winning the 100-year Red Jade Fire Marrow.¡± Mu Yang dropped the auction hammer and set the price for the first item. [ Congratulations on successfully auctioning the tier 6 100-year-old Red Jade Fire Marrow. ] [ This time¡¯s auction will earn a 1,000-fold rebate. ] [ Obtained 7th level 1,000-year-oldRed Jade Fire Marrow. ] The system¡¯s voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears, causing him to be slightly disappointed. It was only a 1,000-fold rebate and the 1,000-year-old Red Jade Fire Marrow did not have much of an effect. Lil¡¯ Die did not need it either. Unless it was the tier 8 10,000-Year-Old Red Jade Fire Marrow, only would it allow Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s cultivation to have a huge breakthrough. ¡°This second item is a weapon, a tier 5 dual wind saber. Its attack power is strong and its speed is very fast. Friends who use the fast saber, don¡¯t miss it.¡± After Mu Yang introduced it, the starting price of this dual wind saber was 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Compared to the previous item, this item was a little weak, so no one was interested. In the end, this dual wind saber was bought by a middle-aged man for 900,000 spirit stones. ¡­ ¡°This item is a tier 6 top-grade Spirit Cultivation Pill. It can be consumed by cultivators in tier 10 to tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± ¡°It has been appraised by a specialist appraiser from the Mu clan. The Spirit Cultivation Pill can recover 60% of the spiritual energy in a short period of time and can be used repeatedly.¡± Mu Yang raised the jade bottle to let everyone see it more clearly. There were a total of five of them, and any one of them was worth more than a million spiritual stones. Now that the five pills were being auctioned together, just the starting price alone was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. ¡°The starting price is 7 million, and each increment must not be less than 500,000. Let the bidding begin.¡± ¡°7.5 million.¡± Right at the start, there were already people impatiently bidding. Spirit Cultivation Pills were used in battles with others. If one were to consume them at a critical moment, they would most likely be effective. Everyone wanted to obtain it, so the bidding was quite intense. Lin Mo was speechless. ¡°Ancient Flame City is really rich. This Spirit Cultivation Pill is priced at two million each, and five pills are only worth ten million. Yet these guys can actually reach 15 million.¡± Lin Mo sighed. These Spirit Cultivation Pills were also his, and they came from the Duanmu clan¡¯s chamber of commerce. The quality was definitely guaranteed, but he did not expect it to be so easy to sell. If he had known that Ancient Flame City was interested in this kind of spirit pill, he would not have sold it and would have kept it for himself. ¡°16,500,000 going three times, sold. Congratulations to the friend in VIP room 4 for successfully getting the Spirit Cultivation Pills.¡± Mu Yang was extremely happy. The price of these Spirit Cultivation Pills far exceeded their value, and it also brought quite a lot of popularity to the auction house. [ Congratulations on successfully auctioning off high-grade tier 6 Spirit Cultivation Pill. ] [ This time¡¯s auction will earn 4,000 times the profit. ] [ Obtained a low-grade tier 8 Weather Pill. ] [ Weather Pill: after consuming it, one can quickly replenish one¡¯s spiritual Qi and soul force. ] A low-grade tier 8 treasure was finally here. However, Lin Mo did not intend to sell this Weather Pill. Being able to recover spiritual Qi and soul force, this was a rare treasure. ¡°Congratulations on successfully auctioning the inner core of a top-grade tier 6 Berserk Beast.¡± ¡°This auction has triggered 7,000 times the profit.¡± ¡°Obtained the inner core of a top grade level 8 single-horned berserk dragon.¡± As Lin Mo was thinking about this, another system notification appeared, causing him to be pleasantly surprised. The inner core of a top grade level 8 demonic beast was just a cultivation resource for him. Coincidentally, he was currently lacking a tier 8 treasure, and this single-horned Berserk Beast¡¯s inner core was just enough to cover it. Perhaps it was because he wanted to set up a trap for Lin Mo, but this auction only sold 50 treasures. What made Lin Mo speechless was that more than 30 of them were his. From the looks of it, the Mu clan had only prepared a tier 8 spirit pill and did not prepare any other auction items¡­ ¡°If they are digging such an obvious pit, who would jump into it?¡± Lin Mo shook his head, and in his heart, he was slightly suspicious of the Mu clan¡¯s ability to handle matters. Chapter 188 - Deal With It Yourself If it was not for the large number of treasures that Lin Mo had brought, the Mu clan would have become a laughingstock. ¡°This is a low-grade tier 8 item. It¡¯s called theQi Boosting Pill. Not only can it increase one¡¯s cultivation, it can also increase the purity of the spiritual Qi within one¡¯s body.¡± ¡°This is an item that our Mu family head has carefully selected. The highest bidder will get it. The starting bid will be 5,000,000 low-rank spiritual stones.¡± Mu Yang dropped the hammer and announced the start of the auction. The appearance of the low-grade tier 8 Qi Boosting Pill caused the atmosphere to reach its peak. Almost 80% of the people were extremely excited and participated in the auction. Although the starting bid of 5,000,000 was very expensive and caused many people¡¯s hearts to ache, the low-grade tier 8Qi Boosting Pill was extremely attractive to cultivators. ¡°A low-grade tier 8 Qi Boosting Pill. If I buy it and sell it, I might be lucky enough to get a tier 9 spirit pill¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little hesitant in the private room. Originally, he did not intend to participate in the auction. However, the rebate from the Qi Boosting Pill had also moved his heart. / Please Keep reading on wuxiaworld.site If he could really obtain it, he would be able to obtain a rank 9 spirit pill. ¡°Let¡¯s observe it first. If it¡¯s not expensive, I can buy it.¡± After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo made his decision. He would wait and see. Perhaps the Mu clan still had a backup plan. ¡°This is so exciting. VIP number 1 has made his move. He has offered ten million low-grade spirit stones. It seems like he is determined to obtain this spirit pill.¡± Mu Yang smiled. The only ones who were still bidding were the people in the VIP rooms. These people had a lot of financial resources. In just a few short bids, the price had already reached 15 million. ¡°What¡¯s going on? This Lin Mo is so calm. Why isn¡¯t he making his move?¡± At this moment, in the number 1 VIP room¡­ Mu Feng frowned. He had just made another bid, raising the price to 15 million. One had to know that this spirit pill was obtained by a medium-sized family in the city through their connections. The final bid price was someone else¡¯s. Their Mu family did not lack a tier 8 spirit pill. If he were to really buy it back, he would probably be reprimanded. ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t be impatient. That kid Lin Mo has brought over 30 treasures to auction.¡± ¡°From this, we can see that he definitely wants this spirit pill.¡± One of Mu Feng¡¯s guards said, extremely certain that Lin Mo would make a move. ¡°Is that so? That kid really can endure it.¡± Mu Feng frowned and looked towards the auction stage. At this moment, Mu Yang had already dropped the auction hammer twice. If he dropped one more time, the pill would be sold to Mu Feng for 15 million. ¡°No friend is willing to bid?¡± Mu Yang looked at the crowd and spoke again. ¡°15 million three times¡­¡± ¡°16 million.¡± Before Mu Yang could say the word ¡®sold¡¯, a bid came from another VIP room. ¡°Oh, our VIP number 8 bid 16 million and only made a move at the last moment. This friend is really patient.¡± Mu Yang praised and once again introduced the effects of theQi Boosting Pill, hoping to attract the interest of others. However, the surrounding people were unmoved and just watched. Those who could enter the VIP rooms were all powerful people. They knew who the person in the VIP room number 8 was. They were not afraid of Lin Mo, but they still had to be wary of the eighth prince that was backing Lin Mo. At this moment, in Lin Mo¡¯s VIP room, he slowly sat down and drank a cup of tea. 16 million was basically the maximum price of this Qi Boosting Pill. Even if it was auctioned off, it would not be profitable and would instead be a loss. However, Mu Feng had painstakingly dug a hole, so if he did not jump in, would it not be a little disrespectful? ¡°You want me to buy it at a high price and sell it at a low price¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered. Even so, he would not lose out. Moreover, who said he had to buy it¡­ ¡°17 million.¡± On Mu Feng¡¯s side, a wave of laughter rang out. After shouting out the price of 17 million, he laughed loudly. ¡°He has finally taken the bait. Since you dare to come to Ancient Flame City to provoke me, just wait for your loss.¡± A subordinate poured tea for Mu Feng and complimented, ¡°That¡¯s right. Young Master¡¯s arrangements are flawless. Even if Lin Mo knew, he wouldn¡¯t be able to jump out of this hole.¡± ¡°18 million.¡± ¡°20 million.¡± ¡°22 million.¡± The auction house was bustling with noise and excitement, and everyone was shocked. A low rank 8 spirit pill had been raised to 22 million. This price was not something an ordinary person could afford. ¡°Haha, this friend is really generous, to actually be able to bid 22 million. Looks like he¡¯s determined to obtain this Qi Boosting Pill.¡± Mu Feng laughed loudly and actually became polite with Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, Your excellency is quite generous to be able to bid 20 million.¡± In the VIP room, Lin Mo snorted coldly and revealed an angry expression. This expression caused the surrounding factions to shake their heads. The person sent by the eighth prince was not too good. He had just arrived and already suffered such a huge loss¡­ ¡°Sigh, I originally thought that I could rely on the eighth prince. Now, it seems that there¡¯s still some consideration¡­¡± In a VIP room, an old man sighed and shook his head helplessly. Beside him, a young man hurriedly handed over a teacup and respectfully waited on him. ¡°Father, this Lin auction house that Lin Mo bought will have an auction three days later. Do we still have to make a move?¡± From the looks of it, it was obvious that Lin Mo wanted to use this Qi Boosting Pill as the finale item. However, Lin Mo would be playing right into his hands, right? Mu Feng and the rest were probably already waiting for Lin Mo to make a fool of himself. ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes. The decline of our Su clan is already set in stone. This Lin Mo is our turning point. Let¡¯s wait for him to counterattack¡­¡± The old man shook his head, even though he did not believe Lin Mo at all. One of Ancient Flame City¡¯s three great clans, the Sima clan, and the crown prince had joined hands to control the underground black market. The Mu clan and the fourth Prince had joined hands to control the auction house and the chamber of commerce. As for the Su family, although they also had some businesses, many of them had been suppressed and were already on the decline. In addition, the ancestor of the Su clan had suffered heavy injuries in order to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Now, no one in the Su clan could carry the banner anymore. ¡°I offer 25 million. If Brother Lin is still willing to raise the price, then I can only bear the pain and give up.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s voice sounded from the VIP room. A low-grade eighth-grade spirit pill usually sold for around 13 to 14 million. Now that Mu Feng and Lin Mo had been raising the price, they had actually raised the price to 25 million. ¡°Sigh, the start wasn¡¯t good. This Lin Mo has been scammed badly¡­¡± Quite a few people shook their heads, feeling sorry for Lin Mo. He had just arrived here and had already given away 10 million low-grade spirit stones. If the eighth prince knew about this, she probably would come all the way from Jingdou to kill him. However, at this moment, Lin Mo, who everyone did not think highly of, could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°Enough, I won¡¯t fall into your trap. You can deal with it yourself.¡± Lin Mo stood up and walked out of his VIP room. As soon as he appeared, everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards him. Some of them had gloating smiles on their faces. However, Lin Mo did not have any expression on his face. Chapter 189 - With Me As the Master, Ten Thousand Stars Will Come to Pay Homage He cupped his fists and smiled at the VIP room number 1. ¡°Since Brother Mu is so fond of this spirit pill, then I won¡¯t take it away from you.¡± ¡°Congratulations, Brother Mu, for bidding 25 million for a low-grade tier 8 Qi Boosting Pill.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud and turned around to leave, leaving the dumbfounded crowd behind. ¡°What did you say?¡± The door of VIP room number 1 was kicked open fiercely, and Mu Feng ran out with a stunned expression. The shock on his face had yet to dissipate when the surrounding jeers rang out. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t laugh. Brother Mu is rich and generous, he doesn¡¯t care about spending 10 million more.¡± Lin Mo smiled and advised. At the same time, he added salt to Mu Feng¡¯s wound. ¡°Lin Mo¡­¡± Mu Feng glared at Lin Mo. If it was not for the fact that they were in the auction house, the Mu clan would not be able to make a move. / Please Keep reading on wuxiaworld.site ¡°Oh, Mu Feng, do you have anything else to say?¡± Lin Mo smiled and said indifferently. ¡°You really don¡¯t want this tier 8 Qi Boosting Pill?¡± Mu Feng said through gritted teeth. ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Mu is already able to bid a high price of 25 million. You must really like this tier 8 low-grade spirit pill.¡± ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I will naturally fulfill your wish and let Brother Mu have it.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, ¡°What? As the host of the auction, could it be that Brother Mu is deliberately bidding to make me spend more money?¡± Absolute kill¡­ Everyone was shocked as they gave Lin Mo a thumbs up. No matter what, as long as the Mu clan still wanted to open an auction house in the Ancient Flame City, they would definitely not admit it. It was already a little inappropriate for the owner to participate in the auction. If their goal was to raise the price, then their reputation would be tarnished. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± Cold sweat broke out on Mu Feng¡¯s back. Although that was what he wanted, he would definitely not admit it. 1 If he really admitted it, his father would skin him alive. ¡°I bought it at a high price because I had recently reached a critical juncture in my cultivation,¡± Mu Feng said. ¡°I see. Then it¡¯s my fault for making Brother Mu spend so much money.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. Just as he was about to continue to disgust Mu Feng, the door of VIP room number 2 not far away opened. A handsome young man walked out from inside, holding a folding fan in his hand as he walked over. ¡°So this is the Lin auction house¡¯s Owner Lin. Nice to meet you.¡± He cupped his fists and smiled at Lin Mo. Such a refined and refined person made people feel that he was easy to get along with at a glance. Hearing the discussions around him, Lin Mo nodded, cupped his fists, and said, ¡°Sima clan¡¯s Young Master, Sima Xun. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Sima Xun waved his hand and smiled, ¡°I heard that Brother Lin has made a big move the moment he arrived in Lin City.¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to it. Is there any news that I can divulge?¡± Hearing Sima Xun¡¯s words, many people were at a loss. They did not know what big move Lin Mo was going to make. ¡°Hehe, you guys still don¡¯t know, right? Brother Lin has bought the Wanxiang auction house and changed its name to the Lin auction house.¡± ¡°At the same time, there will be a grand auction three days later and many people have been invited.¡± Sima Xun smiled and urged everyone to go and support him. ¡°Brother Lin, I wonder if the publicity I did for you is satisfactory?¡± Lin Mo said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Thank you, Brother Sima.¡± After saying a few more words, Lin Mo did not want to stay any longer and left the auction house. Lin Mo was rather shocked when he received the spiritual stones from the auction at the counter. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Only at this moment did Lin Mo realize that other than low-grade spirit stones, there were also mid-grade spiritual stones in circulation in the Ancient Flame City. At least this time, the auction house gave him 11,300 mid-grade spiritual stones. If converted to low-grade spirit stones, it would be 113 million. ¡°It¡¯s said that the spirit energy contained within the mid-grade spirit stones is extremely dense. These 10,000 or so should be enough for me to break through.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself and quickly returned to the Lin clan auction house that he had just bought. Leaving behind 1,300 mid-grade spirit stones for Duanmu Jia, Lin Mo brought the remaining 10,000 to the secret chamber. There were many experts in Ancient Flame City, and his strength was not sufficient anymore. If Mu Feng and the others sent people to assassinate him, it would be very difficult to resist. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s still the puppet.¡± Lin Mo recalled that he still had the puppet, which had the strength of tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, the introduction said that he could increase the puppet¡¯s strength through materials. Lin Mo opened the system¡¯s warehouse, found the puppet inside, and examined it carefully. [ Origin Spirit Puppet: originated from the ancient times. The refining method has been lost. You only need to put the inner core of demonic beasts and spiritual stones in its Dantian to increase its strength. ] ¡°Demonic beasts¡¯ inner cores and spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that it was an ordinary puppet, but he did not expect that the refining technique was from ancient times. ¡°As for inner cores, I have three here. Two are top-grade tier 7, and one is top-grade tier 8.¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment and then injected all three inner cores into the puppet. Although top-grade tier 8 inner cores were worth at least 15 million, compared to spiritual stones, he preferred powerful trump cards. ¡°Alright, I can start cultivating too.¡± After injecting 5,000 middle-grade spiritual stones and three demonic beasts¡¯ inner cores into the body of the Origin Spirit Puppet, Lin Mo began to cultivate in seclusion. In his mind, he recalled the scene when he was cultivating the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival. When he was cultivating back then, he once thought of transforming himself from a celestial body into a black hole. Devouring the eight stars, the sea contained a hundred rivers, giving birth to an even more powerful strength. At that time, it was just a preliminary attempt, but his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, reaching tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm. Now that he had enough spiritual stones, he could evolve once again. He did what he said, and Lin Mo was not the kind of person who would dawdle. He immediately took out the spiritual stones and began to cultivate. Different from the last time, in that instant, Lin Mo felt that he was in the universe, surrounded by the starry sky. The endless power of the sea of stars was surging towards him. And Lin Mo¡¯s aura also reached tier 10 Dragon Transformation Realm in the next moment, entering a new height. ¡°With me as the master, ten thousand stars will come to pay homage, the sea will embrace all rivers, and with tolerance is great!¡± In a trance, Lin Mo chanted an incantation, and traces of Dao appeared around him. The power of the god-slaying body was also active. The surrounding mid-grade spiritual stones were continuously turned into dust, and endless spiritual energy surged into Lin Mo¡¯s body. At this moment, the sword technique of myriad heart pilgrimage could no longer be described as a sword technique. ¡°Ten Thousand Stars Arrival is no longer just a technique. It contains the law of Dao, resonating with the God Slayer Body, and developing in the direction of Dao.¡± Lin Mo understood in his heart that his direction was correct. To roam the starry skies and be companions with the starry skies, borrowing the power of the starry skies, was not called the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival Now that he had transformed into a master, devouring the power of the starry skies and using all the power for his own use, this was the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival. It was no longer restricted by the starry skies. This was the Dao, a power that belonged to him. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I feel that the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival seems to have surpassed tier 9.¡± Lin Mo silently experienced this feeling. He was already unable to sense the passage of time. His strength was also rapidly increasing, and his aura was gradually expanding. However, this feeling quickly dissipated. Just as he felt that the starry sky was under his control, the next moment, space shattered, and Lin Mo was forced to withdraw from his cultivation state. Chapter 190 - The Auction Begins ¡°Sigh¡­ What a pity.¡± Lin Mo could not help but sigh. The feeling of traveling through the starry skies was too wonderful. Moreover, when he was cultivating, the power of the Dao arts would constantly resonate with him. This feeling was very wonderful. ¡°So I¡¯ve used up all my spiritual stones¡­¡± Lin Mo came to a realization and looked at the mid-grade spiritual stones that had turned into dust around him. The reason why he was able to travel through the starry skies was that the spiritual energy within the spiritual stones had transformed into the starry skies. Now that the spiritual stones had been exhausted, the starry skies naturally would not be there anymore, and he could only stop his cultivation. ¡°This is 5,000 middle-grade spiritual stones, and they¡¯ve been used up just like that?¡± Lin Mo was speechless. The consumption of spiritual stones was too great, right? Who could withstand this¡­ ¡°Oh, my strength is at tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± Lin Mo, who had a pained expression on his face just a moment ago, was instantly filled with excitement after checking his own strength. The barrier that he had been unable to break through despite using all his strength, was now easily broken through. Not only that, but he had also reached tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°It¡¯s worth it¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. 5,000 mid-grade spiritual stones allowed him to reach tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm without any sequelae. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s still the puppet.¡± Just as he was laughing, Lin Mo suddenly recalled that the Origin Spirit Puppet was also absorbing inner cores and spiritual stones to raise its strength. He took the puppet out from the system warehouse. The moment it appeared, the Origin Spirit Puppet emitted a golden light, and it was even wearing dark black battle armor. ¡°It evolved by itself?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. As expected of an ancient technique, this Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s strength had also received a huge increase. After checking the puppet¡¯s Dantian, he found that the spiritual stones had already been used up, and only one top-grade tier 8 inner core was left. However, from the looks of it, in a few hours, this inner core would also be completely absorbed. ¡°It has already reached the tier 17 Dragon Transformation Realm. After absorbing all of it, it should be able to advance to tier 18.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Such an increase was not bad. Moreover, due to the puppet¡¯s special characteristics, its combat strength was not only at tier 18. Although the Origin Spirit Puppet did not know any techniques or martial arts, it could still fight against a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm expert with its physical body. With the help of the spiritual energy, it should not be a problem for it to fight against enemies one tier higher. After putting away the puppet, Lin Mo walked out of the secret chamber. Only then did he remember that he still had an auction to attend. ¡°Damn it, how long have I been cultivating for?¡± Lin Mo hurriedly ran out. After passing through a few corridors, he finally saw a figure. After stopping a newly recruited guard, Lin Mo learned that the auction had already begun half an hour ago. Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia had come to the secret chamber to look for Lin Mo. However, they could feel an extremely special fluctuation in the secret chamber. It was extremely mysterious, so they did not dare to disturb him. They had not been idle for the past three days and had collected quite a number of auction items. They were all tier 5 and tier 6, even tier 7 was rare. However, the auction had just begun, so they were not in a hurry. ¡°What should we do? Master hasn¡¯t come out of seclusion yet. We¡¯re running out of auction items¡­¡± Below the stage, Miao Qing said anxiously. At this moment, Duanmu Jia was auctioning on the stage. However, judging from the sweat on her forehead, it could be seen that this girl was trying her best to hold on. ¡°If this really doesn¡¯t work out, get Miss Duanmu to come down. I¡¯ll go up and announce the end of the auction,¡± said Yan Rong. He had originally been teaching Lin Die how to train and how to fight. However, due to an accident, he had been called over. However, he knew nothing about business and did not know how to resolve this predicament. If he ended up losing face, he could go up and bear the consequences. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks If he could not win, he would be despised by thousands of people. He was indebted to Lin Mo, so he naturally had to step forward at the crucial moment. ¡°Brother Yan Rong, Lil¡¯ Die will go with you.¡± Lin Die ran over and said firmly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m too engrossed in my cultivation. I won¡¯t do it again¡­¡± At this moment, on the stage, Duanmu Jia had auctioned off the final item. Her face had turned deathly pale, and she staggered back two steps. The last item was only a mid-grade tier 7 item. However, this was also the final item. ¡°Haha, wonderful. The auction hosted by Miss Duanmu is truly a feast for the eyes.¡± ¡°However, there are too many tier 5 and tier 6 items here and they can¡¯t be placed on the stage. Next, is your Lin auction house going to bring out a good treasure?¡± Mu Feng¡¯s voice sounded a little smug. They had all seen Duanmu Jia¡¯s expression. They had already expected that the Lin auction house would not have any auctioned items. Next, Lin Mo¡¯s reputation would be ruined under everyone¡¯s ridicule. The curtain behind the auction stage was lifted and Lin Mo¡¯s figure walked out. His appearance was like a stabilizing needle, instantly calming the anxious Yan Rong and the others. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here¡­¡± Seeing Lin Mo appear, Duanmu Jia¡¯s tensed nerves finally relaxed, and he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ve been too engrossed in my cultivation, I won¡¯t do it again,¡± Lin Mo said with a gentle smile. He let Duanmu Jia leave, took the auction hammer, and personally presided over the next auction. ¡°Thank you all for your support. Just as Brother Mu said, none of the treasures in our Lin auction house later will be lower than rank 7.¡± ¡°Moreover, there¡¯s more than one tier 8 treasure.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. After he said that, the crowd cheered. The remaining items were all tier 7. To take out so many resources, even the Mu clan would need a long time to prepare. Furthermore, Lin Mo said that there was more than one tier 8 item¡­ ¡°Owner Lin, hurry up and start. We can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I gave up on my cultivation and came all the way from the deep mountains to participate in the auction¡­¡± Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lin Mo took out a jade bottle and smiled. ¡°Since everyone is so confident, I will naturally be satisfied.¡± ¡°This first item is a tier-7 top-grade weapon, the Lunar Jade Bottle. It¡¯s forged from the lunar jade and contains an extremely cold aura.¡± ¡°Its appearance is also very beautiful. It¡¯s not impossible to buy it for collection.¡± ¡°The starting price is 1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± After Lin Mo finished introducing the item, the hammer descended and announced the start of the auction. ¡°This jade bottle is so beautiful. It suits me very well. I¡¯ll bid 1,400,000.¡± ¡°1.4 million won¡¯t be able to take it away. I¡¯ll bid 1.5 million.¡± ¡°1.6 million.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The appearance of a top-tier tier 7 auction item caused many people to be shocked, especially Mu Feng and the others. The value of this Lunar Jade Bottle was extremely high. In the end, the final bid was 2.2 million, and it was bid away by a lady dressed in a white dress. Looking at the crowd below, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze swept past the few VIP rooms at the very front, and a smile appeared on his face. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Everyone, thank you for coming to participate in this auction. I know what you¡¯re waiting for, and I won¡¯t keep you in suspense. The next item to be auctioned is a tier 8 treasure.¡± Lin Mo smiled, and with a raise of his hand, a pitch-black ferocious beast egg appeared in his hand. Wisps of black mist revolved around it, shocking everyone. ¡°Tier 8 ferocious beast egg, Myriad Poison Beast, a strange poison beast of the world, possessing the ability to detoxify poison.¡± ¡°The starting bid is 5,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones¡­¡± Chapter 191 - Patriarch of the Su family Tier 8 ferocious beast egg, Myriad Poison Beast. These words reverberated in everyone¡¯s ears. For a very long period of time, the auction hall descended into silence. Everyone¡¯s gaze turned towards Lin Mo¡¯s palm. Vicious beast eggs were already rare to begin with, not to mention a tier 8 one. Once the myriad poison beast was nurtured, it would be extremely terrifying to the strength of the clan. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± A shocked voice sounded out. Lin Mo listened carefully. It was Mu Feng¡¯s. He had spent a lot of effort building up his reputation, just to conclude that he didn¡¯t have any good resources to auction off. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, brother Mu, do you have any questions?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, looking very concerned. ¡°This is also normal. After all, a tier 8 ferocious beast egg is very precious. Not just anyone can take it out.¡± ¡°However, I can guarantee that this Myriad Poison Beast egg is genuine. Furthermore, I¡¯ve used the poison to nurture it for a period of time.¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I¡¯m new here, I wouldn¡¯t be willing to take it out.¡± Lin Mo explained to the crowd, and at the same time, he repeatedly guaranteed the authenticity of this vicious Beast Egg. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 5.5 million.¡± Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, someone couldn¡¯t wait any longer and started to bid. ¡°This is a ferocious beast egg, I¡¯ll bid 6 million.¡± Another person bid, causing the atmosphere to explode. ¡°Since when did master have such a treasure?¡± Backstage, Duanmu Jia was stunned. She was in charge of organizing the auction hall¡¯s treasures, but she did not expect Lin Mo to have such a mid-grade treasure. ¡°A tier 8 ferocious beast huh. Perhaps master wanted to use it for himself, but now he has no choice but to take it out.¡± Miao Qing guessed. After all, there was a very dense poisonous gas on the eggs of vicious beasts. This indicated that it had already hatched, and it would be able to hatch a Myriad Poison Beast soon. ¡°Master definitely has a lot of collections that he needs to use. Moreover, he went out previously, and after returning, he immediately went into seclusion.¡± ¡°Presumably, he hasn¡¯t taken out any of the treasures that he collected. Just Wait and watch a good show.¡±Yan Rong said with a smile. He believed that Lin Mo still had other tricks up his sleeve. At this moment, in Mu Feng¡¯s private room, the wine cup was smashed onto the ground. Mu Feng¡¯s face was ashen. ¡°B*stard, a tier 8 ferocious beast. Where did he get it?¡± He had dug such a huge hole, but this Lin Mo seemed to know about it. Participating in the auction of the tier 8 spirit pills made him and the Sima clan think that Lin Mo was waiting for the final treasure. Who would have thought that he himself would have the final treasure? ¡°Young Master, the young master of the Sima clan, Sima Xun requests to see you.¡± At this moment, the guard knocked on the door and said. ¡°Please come in quickly.¡± Mu Feng sorted out his emotions and opened the door to welcome Sima Xun. At this moment, Sima Xun¡¯s expression was not very good either. He originally wanted to trick Lin Mo and give him a show of strength. He did not expect that the two of them would actually be fooled by Lin Mo. ¡°Brother Mu, from what you said, Lin Mo took more than thirty treasures to the auction. Why do you think that is?¡± Sima Xun asked. ¡°What else could it be? To confuse us and make us think that he wants to bid for a tier 8 spirit pill,¡± Mu Feng said angrily. ¡°He definitely has a backer. Perhaps he even interacted with the eighth prince. We¡¯ve suffered a huge loss¡­¡± The two of them were extremely furious. Sima Xun had spent a lot of money to destroy the three auction houses, waiting for Lin Mo to take the bait. Mu Feng had prepared a tier 8 spirit pill and made Lin Mo waste double the money to search for the final treasure. However, their moves were easily neutralized by Lin Mo. Moreover, what made them feel even more uncomfortable was that everything they did only helped Lin Mo. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks They had helped him prepare the auction house and even helped him build momentum. This was simply¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t jump to conclusions yet. The eighth prince might not personally make a move. Let¡¯s first investigate the source of his treasure,¡± Sima Xun said. ¡°Indeed. Moreover, it¡¯s best to report this matter and get the crown prince and the fourth prince to help investigate. If it really is the resources given by the eighth prince, it can be considered as leaving something to be used against him¡­¡± Mu Feng nodded, and the two of them discussed for a moment before turning their gazes towards the auction hall once again. ¡°Su clan, 8 million.¡± At this moment, the price of the Myriad Poison Beast was once again placed on the stage. The audience also sighed. The Su clan of the three great clans of the Ancient Flame City was a great force. Although it had declined slightly in recent years, as long as the patriarch of the Su clan was still alive, the Su clan would forever be one of the three great clans of Ancient Flame City. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s give up. The Su clan has already made a move. We have no chance.¡± ¡°Yeah, we are not worthy to compete with the Su clan in terms of financial resources¡­¡± Some people sighed and sat back down, giving up on this auction. ¡°8.5 million.¡± Many people gave up, but there were still people who insisted on raising the price with the Su clan. ¡°12 million.¡± In the private room of the Su clan, an aged voice sounded. The voice was vigorous and powerful, exuding a powerful and dignified aura. Raising the price by 3.5 million at one time was so decisive that it made people speechless. ¡°This voice seems to be the patriarch of the Su clan. Isn¡¯t that old man injured? Why is he here personally?¡± Many wealthy merchants in the front row and the clan head were stunned. The ancestor of the Su clan was here personally to participate in the auction. ¡°The Su Clan¡¯s patriarch?¡± On the stage, Lin Mo was puzzled. His intelligence work was still not up to par. What kind of character was this patriarch of the Su Clan? ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve long heard of your great name and came to disturb you. This Myriad Poison Beast is of great use to me. I still have to thank you, young friend.¡± The Su clan¡¯s patriarch laughed softly. Hearing this, Lin Mo hurriedly cupped his fists and said with a smile, ¡°Senior¡¯s words are too serious. If I had known that senior was coming, this junior wouldn¡¯t have auctioned it. I would have directly presented this ferocious beast egg as a show of sincerity.¡± ¡°Haha, let¡¯s do It according to the rules.¡± The Su family¡¯s patriarch laughed loudly. Lin Mo¡¯s compliment made him feel very pleased. ¡°Everyone knows senior¡¯s great name. I believe that no one will bid for it.¡± Lin Mo smiled and said. As he said this, he raised the auction hammer, intending to let the Su family¡¯s patriarch win the bid. For such a good thing as the Myriad Poison Beast egg, it was best not to give it to the enemy. The Su clan had no enmity with him. Moreover, it was an independent family. It was a good opportunity to befriend them. ¡°Wait, Manager Lin, don¡¯t be anxious. Why do you have to be so difficult with money?¡± ¡°I bid 13 million.¡± Before Lin Mo¡¯s auction hammer landed, Mu Feng¡¯s voice sounded once again, and he increased the bid by 1 million. ¡°Our Mu clan is also very interested in the Myriad Poison Beast. We want to bid for it. Please forgive us, Old Su.¡± Mu Feng smiled and apologized. ¡°The one with the highest bid will get it. What nonsense.¡± ¡°20 million.¡± The Su family¡¯s patriarch¡¯s tone was calm, but he raised the price to 20 million in such a low-key manner. This kind of heroic spirit caused everyone to sigh in admiration. ¡°The Su clan has bid 20 million. Is there any higher price?¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The price of the Myriad Poison Beast should be around 23 million. However, now that the Su family¡¯s patriarch had come, the others did not dare to raise the price. No matter what, they still had to give face to the Su family¡¯s patriarch. Lin Mo did not mind. It was just 3 million worth of low-grade spiritual stones, so he could not care less about it. ¡°Looks like there isn¡¯t anymore. In that case, congratulations to the Su clan for successfully bidding for the Myriad Poison Beast.¡± Lin Mo did not even shout and directly dropped the auction hammer. His words also caused Mu Feng to choke for a moment. The price that he had planned to shout out just now was forcefully stopped. Chapter 192 - The Su Clan Surrenders ¡°Forget it, that¡¯s the patriarch of the Su clan. It¡¯s not something we two juniors can afford to offend.¡± Sima Xun¡¯s expression was calm. Their first confrontation with Lin Mo could be said to have been a complete defeat. Moreover, now that the Su clan¡¯s patriarch had come, the remaining items would most likely not have any fate with them. ¡°The Su clan clearly wants to curry favor with the eighth prince. We can withdraw and report this matter to the higher-ups.¡± Sima Xun said. There was no longer a need for the subsequent auctions. As expected, after the two of them left, the auction items that Lin Mo took out were all taken by the Su family¡¯s patriarch. This was the end of Lin Mo¡¯s auction. The auction ended and everyone left one after another. Only the Su clan¡¯s private room did not show any signs of activity. Only after everyone had left did the Su clan¡¯s private room open. An old man walked out with a few people. Before he could speak, Miao Qing had already been waiting for them. He said, ¡°Greetings, Elder Su. Master invites you in.¡± He brought everyone from the Su clan to the reception hall, and Lin Mo had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw that the Su clan¡¯s people had arrived, he stood up to welcome them. When he saw the Su clan¡¯s patriarch, Lin Mo frowned. He had a head of grayish-white hair, and the wrinkles on his face were not dense, but his entire person carried an aura of death. Even the spiritual energy on his body was very low and did not have much vitality. ¡°This is the sign of his life being on the verge of death. No wonder the Su clan is in decline,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The Su clan¡¯s patriarch was about to die. ¡°Greetings, Manager Lin.¡± Within the Su family, a middle-aged man walked over and cupped his fists to greet Lin Mo. ¡°I am the current clan leader of the Su clan, Su Nanshan. This is my father, Su Hanhai, and my son, Su Yuelong.¡± Su Nanshan first paid the price that he had called out in the auction hall. including the items that were auctioned later on, there was a total of 7,300 middle-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Clan Leader Su, may I know why you especially stayed behind?¡± Lin Mo asked. After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Hanhai and already had a guess in his heart. Su Hanhai was the pillar of the Su clan. With him around, the Su clan would not fall. ¡°As you can see, it is indeed related to this old man.¡± Su Hanhai laughed bitterly. In the next moment, a terrifying aura was released, extremely terrifying. This pressure spread throughout the welcoming hall, causing even Lin Mo to be shocked. ¡°Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm Completion¡­¡± Lin Mo took two steps back. This Su Hanhai¡¯s strength was actually so terrifying. ¡°It¡¯s strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His strength is lacking in the future¡­¡± Lin Mo hit the nail on the head, pointing out the problem with Su Hanhai. He was about to reach his limit, and the life force in his body was weakening. ¡°However, from your appearance, you don¡¯t look like someone who has reached his limit. Did you receive any injuries?¡± Lin Mo asked. A person who had reached the end of his life would age to the extreme. It would not be like Su Hanhai. His head was just white and there were some wrinkles on his face. ¡°This is the result of my attempt to break through to the Nirvana Realm. I was ambushed.¡± Su Hanhai sighed. Recalling what had happened back then, a ball of fire burned in his heart and did not dissipate for a long time. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Nirvana stage. He was just a little bit away. In the end, all his efforts were for naught. ¡°Was it the other two clans?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°The one who made a move was the Mu clan¡¯s patriarch, Mu Ming. His strength was originally inferior to mine, but with the fourth prince¡¯s help, his strength increased by leaps and bounds. In the end, he also reached the Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± ¡°It was also the fourth prince¡¯s instructions for him to make a move and interfere with my breakthrough, causing me to be heavily injured.¡± Su Hanhai sighed. His breakthrough had failed, so he was heavily injured and on the verge of death. In the end, he relied on medicinal pills to hang on to his last breath. Every day, he relied on consuming a large amount of life force to maintain his own strength. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, this old man knows why you¡¯re here. May I ask, does the eighth prince have any extraordinary people around him who can cure this old man?¡± Su Hanhai asked. If one wanted to cure him, one would either be an eccentric person who specialized in strange spells or a high-level alchemist. ¡°From my point of view, if I want to cure elder Su, I need at least a tier 9 spiritual pill.¡± Lin Mo frowned. At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have bought that Qi Boosting Pill. Although the system might not be able to give Lin Mo a healing spiritual pill, as long as it gave him a tier 9 spiritual pill, with Su Hanhai¡¯s strength, he would definitely have connections. He would just have to exchange for the healing spiritual pill himself. However, right now, he really could not get a tier 8 spirit pill in a short amount of time. ¡°If the eighth prince can cure me, then the Su clan will follow the eighth prince¡¯s lead,¡± Su Hanhai said in a deep voice. The current Su clan relied on him alone to support them, so he could not fall. ¡°Of course, the prerequisite for curing me is to keep my strength,¡± Su Hanhai reminded him. After all, he had lived most of his life and knew about the matters of the royal family. Once he lost his value, he would be mercilessly abandoned. ¡°I can cure you,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. It would be a waste to not take a favor that came to his doorstep. ¡°Is what you said true, young friend?¡± Su Nanshan was shocked. This Lin Mo actually had the confidence to cure him. ¡°There is a legendary spirit pill called the Immortality Pill. After taking it, you can heal all the injuries on your body.¡± ¡°Not only that, but the Immortality Pill can also bestow a second life, allowing you to return to your youth and once again create glory.¡± Lin Mo said. However, the Immortality Pill was a top-grade tier 9 spirit pill, and it was extremely precious. Not only that, the process of refining the Immortality Pill was extremely complicated. Even a tier 9 alchemist would not be able to do it. Every single one of the ingredients was a precious treasure. Not to mention the eighth prince, even the emperor himself might not be able to obtain the Immortality Pill. This youth in front of him actually said such words. ¡°Could it be that¡­?¡± Su Hanhai said with some doubt. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. I don¡¯t know if I can obtain the Immortality Pill either. However, I can obtain one of the main ingredients, the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass.¡± Lin Mo hurriedly waved his hand. He did not dare to say that he could get his hands on an Immortality Pill. If he got his hands on another spirit pill, it would be terrible. ¡°Nine-Colored Longevity Grass? That¡¯s fine too. It can extend your life by a hundred years, grandpa,¡± Su Yuelong said excitedly. ¡°It can only extend your life by a hundred years.¡±Lin Mo was shocked. The injuries on Su Hanhai¡¯s body were really serious. The Nine-Colored Longevity Grass that could extend one¡¯s life by nine hundred years could only extend his life by a hundred years. ¡°100 years is also fine. How long will it take for you to find the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass?¡± Su Hanhai was overjoyed. ¡°How about this? I will hold the second auction in seven days. The Su clan will be welcome to attend the auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The Nine-Colored Longevity Grass was in his hands. It was still unknown whether the Su clan were friends or enemies. ¡°I still have to search for new auction items, so I won¡¯t keep you. Please go back.¡± After sending off the Su clan members, Lin Mo called Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing over. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Master, what can I do for you?¡± Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia walked over. Yan Rong followed them as well. He brought Lin Die with him to see if he could be of any help. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while. You guys keep an eye on the auction house.¡± ¡°Jia Jia, there will be a new auction in seven days. You will collect the auction items and borrow some from your family whenever necessary. You will owe the money first and settle it after the auction.¡± ¡°During this period of time, if you have any difficulties, go to the Su clan.¡± Chapter 193 - Ambushed After saying this, Lin Mo went out alone and announced to the public that he was going to search for a new auction item. Very quickly, a piece of news spread out from the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. The auction would be held seven days later, and there would be more than one tier 8 treasure being auctioned. This news shook the entire city, and even the Su clan was shocked. Tier 8 treasures were rarely seen even in Ancient Flame City. Moreover, the auction that Lin Mo would be holding seven days later actually had more than one tier 8 treasure. ¡°Is this for real? Can Manager Lin can find so many resources?¡± ¡°I think so. Haven¡¯t you heard? The Su clan immediately sent over a large number of auction items, saying that they wanted to support the auction.¡± ¡°I have a treasure that I plan to auction. Originally, I was going to the Mu clan, but now it seems that going to the Lin clan might be better¡­¡± ¡°I saw Manager Lin leave the city two hours ago.¡± ¡°He might have gone to buy resources.¡± Ancient Flame City was in an uproar. The pedestrians were talking about the Lin auction house. For a time, although Lin Mo had just arrived in Ancient Flame City, his fame had already spread far and wide, faintly overshadowing the Sima family and the Mu family. At this moment, in the Mu family¡¯s meeting hall¡­ ¡°Father, this Lin Mo has gained all the limelight, it has affected our business too greatly,¡± Mu Feng said in the middle of the meeting hall. Around them, sat the various elders of the Mu clan, each of them emitting a powerful aura. ¡°Didn¡¯t young clan leader say that he wanted to make this Lin Mo suffer a little, how could he lose so miserably?¡± An elder mocked. Earlier, Mu Feng had asked the clan to let this newcomer, Lin Mo, suffer a little. Back then, because Lin Mo was the eighth prince¡¯s subordinate, and the fourth prince did not say anything, no one dared to act rashly. In the end, it was the Mu clan¡¯s clan leader, Mu Song, who stepped in and asked Mu Feng to make a move. Now, it looked like Mu Feng and Sima Xun had joined hands, but were ruthlessly tricked by Lin Mo. Lin Mo had made good use of their methods. A ferocious beast egg had allowed him to make a name for himself. Not to mention Ancient Flame City, even the surrounding cities knew that the Lin clan would hold an auction seven days later. ¡°Enough, it¡¯s already at this time. Don¡¯t fight amongst yourselves.¡± Mu Song said angrily. The most important thing now was to not let Lin Mo shake the foundation of the Mu clan. ¡°Clan leader, there¡¯s news from the fourth prince¡¯s side.¡± At this moment, an old man walked in and said excitedly. ¡°The fourth prince said that the Su clan should have submitted to the eighth prince. He wants us to get rid of Lin Mo and not let him hold an auction.¡± At the same time, the Sima clan was also discussing. The first confrontation did not suppress Lin Mo. instead, he took advantage of the situation to rise up. Now, the crown prince and the fourth prince had given orders. As the main character of this battle, Lin Mo had long since left Ancient Flame City. He came to the forest outside the city, intending to cultivate in seclusion here. ¡°Let¡¯s do it here. I don¡¯t know if the further deduction of the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival will be successful.¡± Lin Mo stopped in a valley. The fog here was thicker, and it was formed from spiritual Qi. Cultivating here would help him save a lot of spiritual stones. ¡°Alright, this is the place.¡± After remembering the time, Lin Mo took out a large number of spiritual stones. This time, he had obtained a large number of spiritual stones from the auction. If converted to middle-grade spiritual stones, it would be close to 10,000 spiritual stones. Buzz Lin Mo began to evolve, turning this valley into a starry sky. The surrounding spiritual stones in the sky turned into stars. He roamed through the air, constantly moving around. The power of the stars in the surroundings continued to transform, fusing into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Crack! With a crisp sound, a spiritual stone shattered. The spiritual energy inside dried up and turned into dust. Lin Mo walked in the air, wandering in the starry sky. Every time he passed by a star, he would completely absorb the energy inside. Every time a spiritual stone shattered, Lin Mo¡¯s strength would increase by a notch. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. The spiritual stones in the valley quickly dried up, and the surrounding fog had mostly dissipated. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Absorbing the power of the starry sky and becoming so strong. In the future, I will become an endless starry sky. Who can rival me?¡± Lin Mo muttered. At this moment, his strength had already reached the peak of tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm, and he possessed six times the strength of a person of the same rank. Moreover, he cultivated many tier 9 sword manuals and had the tier 9 weapon, Plain White Snow. With the support of many factors, Lin Mo now truly possessed the combat strength of tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°It¡¯s time to return.¡± Lin Mo raised his head. This time, he had benefited greatly from his closed-door cultivation. He had made new progress with the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival, and his strength had also increased. Moreover, Lin Mo had unknowingly felt that his soul power was also increasing. Even if he was not intentionally observing, Lin Mo could still feel his surroundings. ¡°Ten Thousand Stars Arrival can actually increase my soul power?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Cultivation techniques that could increase soul power were extremely rare. Once they appeared, they would definitely be snatched away. While Lin Mo was evolving, Ten Thousand Stars Arrival actually had such an ability. ¡°What an unexpected surprise, this is great.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. However, before he could be complacent, he suddenly felt a dense killing intent assaulting his face. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Lin Mo was shocked as he stared fixedly at a large tree in front of him. Only when he was so close did he realize that there was a cold and sinister aura there. It was extremely strange. ¡°Cloud Breaking Sword Qi, first position.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s fingers formed into a sword as he slashed forward. A stream of Sword Qi shot up into the sky and ruthlessly slashed onto the tree. ¡°Clang!¡± The sound of metal colliding rang out as this stream of Sword Qi was broken apart. The space in front of the large tree started to squirm. Soon after, a man¡¯s figure appeared with a cold expression. ¡°How did you discover me?¡± The man asked coldly. He was clearly hiding in the air, waiting for Lin Mo to pass by and kill him with one strike. Who would have thought that Lin Mo¡¯s soul perception was so strong that he could actually find him in the air? ¡°Tell me who sent you here, and I¡¯ll tell you how I discovered you. How about it?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll know when I kill you.¡± The man laughed coldly as he took out a jet-black dagger. A powerful aura was released, and a terrifying pressure rushed towards Lin Mo, forcing him to continuously retreat. ¡°Tier18 Dragon Transformation Realm, and he¡¯s even at the peak of perfection¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had thought that someone would attack him, but he didn¡¯t think that someone would be so powerful. ¡°Die.¡± The man rushed over at an extremely fast speed. Lin Mo¡¯s soul perception sensed a strange movement, and he subconsciously used the swimming dragon steps, narrowly avoiding this attack. ¡°Dying struggle¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s dodge did not cause much of a ripple to the man. The dagger in his hand stabbed out, stabbing into Lin Mo¡¯s left shoulder. ¡°Now.¡± Lin Mo roared. The moment the man struck him, a figure suddenly appeared behind him. At the same time, a snow-white longsword quietly appeared. ¡°Ten Thousand Stars Arrival, Star God Sword Qi.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The puppet behind Lin Mo attacked together with him, while the man¡¯s dagger was still stabbed into Lin Mo¡¯s left shoulder. There was no time for him to retreat. ¡°Ptui!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Two sounds rang out as Lin Mo¡¯s figure was forced back. The puppet caught up to him and caught him. As for the man, he was caught off guard by the puppet that was comparable to a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm. After receiving the Star God Sword Qi, he fell to the ground, not moving at all¡­ Chapter 194 - Auction Begins ¡°He¡¯s not dead¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. His soul energy could sense that the other party was still alive. Even though he was severely injured, he still had the strength to fight. ¡°However, it won¡¯t be long now¡­¡± Lin Mo passed Plain White Snow to the puppet in his hand to the puppet and ordered it to make its move. Whoosh! Just as the puppet made its move, space rippled once more. A young man appeared in front of him, holding a unique talisman in his hand. ¡°Bang!¡± Plain White Snow struck the talisman, causing an intense shockwave to erupt. The sharp Sword Qi found it difficult to approach. ¡°Such strong defense.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This should be a defensive talisman, able to block the attack of tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet. Furthermore, the puppet wielded a tier 9 weapon, Plain White Snow. From the looks of it, this talisman was at least at tier 8. ¡°Bang!¡± The puppet attacked once more, using its full strength. The talisman could no longer bear the burden, and cracks appeared on it. ¡°Crack!¡± When the talisman shattered, the man on the ground finally recovered a bit of his strength. He hurriedly made his move, bringing the youth with him as he retreated. ¡°Use your full strength.¡± Lin Mo gave the order. Using his fingers as a sword, he executed the Swimming Dragon Steps, quickly appearing behind the two of them. ¡°If you¡¯re here, don¡¯t leave.¡± The Star God Sword Qi was unleashed, and Lin Mo and the puppet attacked from both sides. The sharp Sword Qi sliced through the air. ¡°B*stard.¡± The man cursed angrily, and then, under Lin Mo¡¯s shocked gaze, he threw the young man who had saved him out. In the next moment, the puppet charged over, directly tearing the young man¡¯s body apart. However, because it was blocked, the puppet¡¯s footsteps came to a halt. Lin Mo wanted to stop it, but because of the injury on his left shoulder, the other party had broken through the blockade. ¡°How ruthless. However, even if that¡¯s the case, you still can¡¯t escape.¡± The Swimming Dragon Steps instantly brought Lin Mo to catch up. A sharp Sword Qi appeared, and Lin Mo¡¯s right hand slashed down. The Spring and Autumn Exchange was executed. The powerful sword move caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly, and it seemed as if it was about to be torn apart. ¡°How can this be?¡± The man was shocked. He used all of his strength to block the attack, unleashing the power of a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm. In just the instant of contact, the Spring and Autumn Exchange was broken apart by the other party. The rebounding force sent Lin Mo flying. However, this kind of explosion also caused his injuries to be triggered, causing him to fall from mid-air. The puppet behind him rushed over, throwing out a punch with the momentum of sweeping through an army. At the same time, it slashed out with Plain White Snow in its hand. A powerful force shook the void, emitting a terrifying trembling sound. ¡°Clang!¡± The man held a golden talisman in his hand. Spiritual energy was injected into it, and endless power surged out to block the puppet¡¯s and Plain White Snow¡¯s attacks. However, this was only temporary. Soon, the talisman was filled with cracks. ¡°Crack!¡± Lin Mo rushed over from behind. Ten Thousand Stars Arrival devoured the surrounding spiritual energy, and a streak of Sword Qi condensed. The sword slashed down from behind, shattering the amulet. The other party still wanted to resist, but in the next moment, his head was chopped off by the puppet, and he fell to the ground. ¡°It was a close call, but I don¡¯t know who sent those fellows over¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned as he rummaged through the duo¡¯s spatial rings. In the end, he found nothing. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks After some searching, he only found a tier 7 offensive amulet and a tier 7 defensive amulet path. Other than that, there were only 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and nothing else. ¡°Eh, what¡¯s this?¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to give up, he found a special piece of paper in the corner of the spatial ring. After breaking the restriction on it, Lin Mo opened it up, and on the paper was a drawing of a woman. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there anything special about this other than its beauty¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned and kept the portrait in the system storage. However, the notification he received was that it was only an ordinary scroll. ¡°I thought I found something good, but it turned out to be an ordinary scroll¡­¡± Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Mo tidied up the scene and turned around to leave. After leaving the mountain range and returning to Ancient Flame City, Lin Mo¡¯s soul power instantly sensed something strange. At the entrance of Ancient Flame City, in a small restaurant, he sensed Mu Feng¡¯s aura. ¡°Mu Feng is here, could it be¡­¡± Thinking of the attack that he had encountered, Mu Feng might be waiting for news here¡­ Thinking of this, killing intent appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. ¡°The auction is about to start, I¡¯ll deal with you guys next time,¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. He ignored Mu Feng who was secretly spying on him and turned around to leave. The Lin auction house was holding an auction. Due to Mu Feng and the others¡¯ momentum, it was very popular now. After Lin Mo returned, Duanmu Jia hurriedly came over to report. Her expression was very unsightly. ¡°Master, this is bad. The Sima clan and the Mu clan are ganging up on us.¡± Duanmu Jia handed over a scroll that recorded the auction items received at this auction. ¡°Other than the 20 tier 7 treasures that the Su clan sent over, we didn¡¯t obtain a single high-level treasure.¡± ¡°The Su clan¡¯s patriarch, Su Nanshan, sent news that the Mu clan and the Sima clan had secretly made a move and threatened many sellers to not allow them to sell their treasures.¡± If the Mu clan and the Sima clan joined forces, the Su clan would not be able to resist them. Although the Su clan¡¯s patriarch had personally come to assist them previously, the effects were not obvious. ¡°The auction is going to be held tonight. Master, how many auction items did you collect this time?¡± Duanmu Jia asked. Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled. There were only twenty or so items, so it was not impossible. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Let¡¯s start the auction now. I still have some tier 7 treasures here, you can start the auction first.¡± He had already thought of this long ago when the Mu clan and the Sima clan joined forces. In fact, the people behind this were the crown prince and the fourth prince. Their goal was naturally to suppress Jiang Xiyue. When the news spread, although they did not send the auction items over, it did not affect Lin Mo much. Moreover, he still had quite a few tier 8 treasures on him. In the previous auction, he had only taken out the Myriad Poison Beast¡¯s egg. He had kept the rest. Very quickly, the Lin auction house was packed with people. It was completely packed. Moreover, the ones who came this time were not juniors like Mu Feng and Sima Xun. The Mu clan leader, Mu Song, the Sima clan leader, Sima Kong, and the Su Clan¡¯s clan leader, Su Nanshan. The appearance of the clan leaders of the three great clans in Ancient Flame City was enough to show how much importance they placed on this auction. ¡°Even the three great clans are here. I wonder how intense the competition will be later.¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard that there¡¯s more than one tier 8 treasure this time. I wonder if it¡¯s true.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not easy to accumulate reputation. I don¡¯t think the forest farm owner would destroy it himself.¡± Everyone sat down in their seats and waited for the auction to begin. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting. I¡¯ll be the one holding the first half of the auction this time.¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Duanmu Jia¡¯s voice spread out as she took out a scroll. ¡°This is the tier 7 low-grade palm technique, Thunder Palm. It¡¯s extremely powerful after being mastered.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the Thunder Palm has unparalleled offensive power and can rival tier 7 high-grade martial art after being mastered.¡± ¡°The starting price is 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Duanmu Jia said with a smile. She looked around and finally stopped at the three VIP rooms at the front. Chapter 195 - Barter The three clan leaders of the three big clans were the main characters of this auction. There were fewer items in the auction today, but the Su clan provided high-quality items. Even the three big clans did not want to miss them. ¡°320,000!¡± After Duanmu Jia said that, someone started to bid. ¡°350,000!¡± The price continued to rise. Many people were tempted by tier 7 martial arts. The price continued to rise. In less than a minute, the price had already risen to 550,000. Moreover, there were still five people bidding, and the bidding continued for a while. When the price was fixed at 750,000, the number of people bidding finally decreased. After all, this was only a martial art, and there was no cultivation technique attached to it, so the price would not be too high. 750,000 was already considered top-notch. ¡°750,000 going once.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°750,000 going three times, sold. Congratulations to this customer.¡± [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the low-grade tier 7 martial art, Thunder Palm. ] [ Triggered 1,000 times auction return. ] [ Obtained the high-grade tier 7 martial art, Thunder Palm. ] ¡°It¡¯s only 1,000 times¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. His luck this time was a little bad. Not to mention a tier 8 return, it was not even a top-grade tier 7 martial art. ¡°The next item up for auction is a tier 7 defense-type talisman.¡± ¡°According to the tests, this talisman can defend against a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm¡¯s head-on attack, but it can¡¯t hold out for too long.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s not a bad choice to have a life-saving talisman.¡± Duanmu Jia smiled and said, ¡°A tier 7 defense talisman. The starting price is 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Once the defense talisman was out, the auction house instantly quieted down. Unlike spirit pills, talismans could cause a stir and were even more shocking. This kind of thing was a life-saving talisman at a critical moment. It was hard to find even if one had thousands of gold coins. Although it was also a consumable, the process of making talismans was very cumbersome and costly. Even talisman masters would not auction talismans after they had made them. This was their hard work. This also resulted in the scarcity of talismans in the market, and the prices were generally high. After a short period of shock, everyone came back to their senses and looked forward with fiery eyes. ¡°I bid 900,000!¡± ¡°1,000,000¡­¡± The clamor resounded throughout the auction hall and the bidding voices rose and fell one after another. A talisman that could block a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm was enough to shock even the clan leaders of the three great clans. ¡°Father, you said that those assassins failed. Is it because of this talisman?¡± Mu Feng asked in shock. From the moment he saw Lin Mo walk into Ancient Flame City unscathed, he felt that it was impossible. However, if Lin Mo was holding such a talisman, then it was not impossible for him to block the assassins. ¡°No¡­¡± Mu Song leaned against the chair. After a long while, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°The assassins I hired came from the Secret Ghost Sect.¡± ¡°They are not only an assassin sect, they also started from talismans¡­¡± ¡°The talisman and aura on this talisman are the unique techniques of the Secret Ghost Sect. We can be sure that the assassins of the Secret Ghost Sect were killed by Lin Mo.¡± ¡°Two assassins, one at tier 14 and the other at tier 18. Even with this, they still failed¡­¡± As he said this, a trace of fear flashed across Mu Song¡¯s eyes. For the first time, he felt that the Mu clan had made a wrong decision to provoke this youth. After spending money to hire the assassin, he asked Patriarch Mu Ming to keep an eye on Su Hanhai. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He could be sure that Su Hanhai did not make a move and that the assassin was dealt with by Lin Mo. ¡°Don¡¯t touch this talisman. We can¡¯t afford to offend the Hidden Ghost Sect.¡± Mu Song leaned on the sofa, telling his son, who wanted to bid, to stop. At the same time, the other two great clans also fell silent. They recognized the origin of the talisman. Therefore, while the three great clans remained silent, the price of the defensive talisman was raised to 1.5 million. ¡°Father, could it be that the Secret Ghost Sect has some sort of deal with Lin Mo?¡± In the VIP room of the Su clan, Su Yuelong had a puzzled expression on his face. The Secret Ghost Sect never passed down talismans above tier 7. This point was known by everyone in the upper echelons. However, where did Lin Mo get the talisman from? ¡°The deal is uncertain, but I just took a look at Lin Mo from afar. He has an injury on his left shoulder.¡± ¡°Looks like it didn¡¯t go well for Manager Lin when he went out¡­¡± He suddenly thought of many things, and finally, a helpless expression appeared on his face. At this point, even if the Su clan wanted to protect him, they could only guard Lin Mo¡­ ¡°May I ask Miss Duanmu something? I don¡¯t have enough spiritual stones, can I use other treasures to exchange for them?¡± At this moment, a crisp voice sounded, drawing everyone¡¯s attention. In a corner of the auction house, there was a person wearing a loose black robe that covered her entire body. If she had not spoken earlier, no one would have been able to tell that she was a woman. On the stage, Duanmu Jia thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. The seller said that they only want spiritual stones. However, if you have any treasures on you, you can go to Manager Lin. If the price is high, we can arrange an auction.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The woman nodded and sat on her seat as if she was thinking. In the end, she seemed to sigh, stood up, and walked toward the back of the auction stage. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. What kind of auction item could this woman bring out. ¡°Miss, what are you planning to auction¡­ Hmm?¡± Behind the stage, Lin Mo slowly walked over. When he approached the woman, he was a little stunned. This was because the woman had just come over when she took off her bamboo hat and revealed her face. It was an extremely beautiful face with a purple crescent mark on her forehead. Her black hair had lost the shackles of the bamboo hat and fell down like a waterfall. In Lin Mo¡¯s impression, other than Jiang Xiyue, there was probably no one else who could compare to such a face. However, what truly shocked Lin Mo was that this woman¡¯s face was exactly the same as the painting he had just obtained. Could it be that this woman was related to those assassins? ¡°Eh? There seems to be some injuries on the body of Manager Lin.¡± The woman raised her head and looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. Although Lin Mo had concealed his injuries very well, his injuries had yet to completely heal. Those with slightly stronger soul power would still be able to sense it. ¡°When I was collecting the auction items, I encountered some bandits who tried to kill me. Fortunately, I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°After all, it¡¯s normal for someone to want to get a treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently. However, when he said these words, the woman¡¯s eyes actually showed some sympathy. She nodded and said, ¡°Manager Lin, I¡¯m very interested in this defensive talisman. I wonder if you can help me contact the seller and barter with them?¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only As she said this, she took out a spirit pill that emitted a fragrance from her spatial ring. ¡°This is the Green Ganoderma Red Blood Pill. It¡¯s a high-grade tier 7 pill. It can soothe the meridians and clear the blockage.¡± ¡°This is very useful for cultivators who have cultivation deviation and can not expel the impurities in their bodies.¡± A high-grade tier 7 spirit pill was also very useful. If it was auctioned off, it could be auctioned off for at least two million spiritual sones. However, it would be a little difficult to obtain a defensive talisman. Chapter 196 - Traceless Wind If nothing went wrong, the final price of the defensive talisman would be raised to over three million. ¡°Miss, the prices of the two treasures are not equal. I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to exchange them¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The price of the defensive talisman had already been raised to 2.5 million. Moreover, there were still more than ten people bidding. It was only a matter of time before it exceeded three million. ¡°Manager Lin, do me a favor and let me meet the seller. He will sell it to me.¡± The woman shook her head, still persistent. However, the words she said made Lin Mo feel a little surprised. How could she be so confident that she would be able to sell it after meeting him once? Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°I am the seller, but I don¡¯t want to sell it to you at the moment.¡± The moment these words were said, the woman was also stunned. She raised her head and looked at Lin Mo. Finally, her gaze stopped at Lin Mo¡¯s left shoulder and said, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This talisman was obtained after you killed the person who robbed and targeted you, right?¡± This time, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be stunned. He did not tell anyone that he had been attacked. Those who were powerful were able to discover his injuries but to obtain the source of his treasure based on a single injury was a little ridiculous. ¡°May I ask who you are, Miss?¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and asked. ¡°Manager Lin, you can call me Bai Luo.¡± She looked at Lin Mo with a smile in her eyes. Lin Mo did not expect that the person in front of him was actually the owner of the talisman. ¡°Miss Bai Luo, how are you going to convince me?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°This talisman came from the Secret Ghost Sect, and the Secret Ghost Sect doesn¡¯t sell talismans above tier 7 to the public.¡± ¡°I was also chased by the Secret Ghost Sect, so I had no choice but to hide in Ancient Flame City.¡± Bai Luo told Lin Mo that the Secret Ghost Sect was paid to do things and specialized in assassination. At the same time, if one of their own disciples was killed, the Secret Ghost Sect would launch a crazy revenge. If one was killed, there would be more and stronger assassins appearing. If this happened again and again, it might even lead to the appearance of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, which was extremely powerful. As time went on, many factions were afraid of offending the Secret Ghost Sect. Even the imperial family of the Yanhuang Divine Empire was unwilling to offend them. This also caused the Secret Ghost Sect to become increasingly powerful. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a little awkward. At the same time, the doubts in his heart also increased. ¡°If the Secret Ghost Sect sends people to attack, what level of powerhouses will they send?¡± Lin Mo asked. The people who ambushed him were one at tier 14 and tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°The first time, it would be two tiers higher than the opponent. If they were killed, the next assassin¡¯s strength would be two tiers higher,¡± Bai Luo said. ¡°According to Manager Lin¡¯s strength, the one who ambushed you should be at tier 14.¡± She saw Lin Mo¡¯s strength and said this, but then she became a little anxious. ¡°Manager Lin, the price has already reached 3.2 million. This little girl really doesn¡¯t have much money. With this news and the Green Ganoderma Red Blood Pill, can we exchange it?¡± She was also being pursued, so she was very anxious about this talisman. ¡°Sure, Miss, feel free to bid. There¡¯s no need to pay the spiritual stones. I¡¯ll accept this Green Ganoderma Red Blood Pill with a smile.¡± Lin Mo nodded. After knowing the ins and outs, he was a little speechless. Who knew that tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm expect was actually chasing after Bai Luo. Perhaps it was because the Tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm expert felt that he could not take Lin Mo down, so maybe he asked his fellow teammates nearby to help. However, it seemed that he had solved a problem for Bai Luo¡­ ¡°Alright, congratulations to this lady for successfully bidding for a tier 7 defensive talisman at a price of 3.5 million.¡± Duanmu Jia¡¯s voice was heard as she announced that the defensive amulet had been auctioned off by Bai Luo. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully bidding for a Tier 7 defensive talisman. ] [ Triggered 6,000 times the auction return. ] Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks [ Obtained a tier 8 defensive talisman. ] ¡°Beautiful.¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud as his consciousness entered the system space to check on this defensive amulet. He only saw a crimson-gold talisman quietly staying in the system space. Lin Mo checked the information and nodded his head in satisfaction. The defensive power of a tier 8 defensive talisman could at least block a tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm expert¡¯s attack. ¡°The next item up for auction is a tier 7 offensive talisman. Its offensive power is comparable to the tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm, but it can only launch one attack.¡± ¡°After one attack, this talisman will become useless. However, a talisman that can unleash power beyond one¡¯s own strength is also a rare treasure.¡± ¡°The starting price is 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Another talisman, and it was an attack talisman. This caused everyone¡¯s breathing to quicken. Only the people from the three great clans and the VIP rooms fell silent. Their expressions were all different, and they had different thoughts in their hearts. The talismans were of the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s defensive and attack talismans. One talisman could be said to be a coincidence, but what about the two? Furthermore, they paid close attention to Lin Mo¡¯s actions. When he had just entered the city, he had been in an injured state. With the addition of the two talismans, everything made sense. ¡°And the offensive talismans¡­¡± Bai Luo had just sat down in her seat. When she saw the items in Duanmu Jia¡¯s hands, she was a little speechless. After that, before the bidding sounds could be heard, Bai Luo stood up and walked backstage. Everyone was speechless at this scene. This lady had so many treasures on her, why did she not just auction them off? ¡°Uh¡­ Miss Bai Luo wants this attack talisman?¡± Lin Mo smiled, he was not surprised by this result. ¡°To tell you the truth, I want to set up a counter-attack. This attack talisman is very useful to me.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face was slightly red. However, this time, she did not have anything good on her. ¡°Manager Lin, I still have an incomplete body technique manual. If you want to auction it, is it possible?¡± Bai Luo thought for a moment and finally said helplessly. This body technique manual was something that she had only found after visiting many ruins. Now, she could only sell it. ¡°Oh, what kind of body technique manual is it?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. If it could surpass the Swimming Dragon Steps, then he naturally wouldn¡¯t reject it. ¡°Tier 9 top-grade body movement technique incomplete version, Traceless Wind.¡± Bai Luo took out a light green scroll and said, ¡°Although it¡¯s an incomplete version, it doesn¡¯t lose out to a tier 8 martial skill.¡± ¡°Tier 9 top-grade?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He stretched out his hand to receive the scroll. After spreading it open, numerous complicated imprints appeared before his eyes. Among these incantations, Lin Mo sensed something strange. It did not belong to a technique, but to a dao. It was the same dao as Myriad Star Arrival. This book contained the laws of the great dao within the traceless wind. ¡°It really is a top-tier tier 9 book¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. As long as he auctioned it off, he would be able to obtain a complete Traceless Wind. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Miss Bai Luo, are you sure you want to auction this manual?¡± Lin Mo asked again. At the same time, he took out a scroll from his spatial ring and handed it over to Bai Luo. ¡°There were two assassins I met. One was at tier 14 and the other was at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± ¡°After I killed the two of them, apart from the talisman, there was also this portrait. It was Miss Bai herself.¡± Seeing Bai Luo open the portrait, Lin Mo continued, ¡°The assassin who was chasing after Miss Bai is already dead. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s useless for you to buy this talisman¡­¡± Chapter 197 - Tier 9 Attack Talisman Lin Mo was extremely calm. Although he yearned for this Traceless Wind manual, it was not to the extent of that he would scam others. Unless the other party was an enemy, then killing and plundering would be fine. ¡°This is indeed a portrait from the Secret Ghost Sect¡­¡± Bai Luo was shocked as she looked at Lin Mo. This young man was about the same age as her. It was rare for him to have such strength. Moreover, this temperament made her satisfied. ¡°If ManagerLin says so, but aren¡¯t you afraid that I won¡¯t sell it?¡±Bai Luo said with a faint smile. ¡°I believe that Miss will sell it. I have a lot of good things in my hands. I believe that they will catch your eye,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Putting everything else aside, if this talisman was sold, Bai Luo would definitely be tempted if the system¡¯s rebate was a tier 8 offensive talisman. Even if she were to endure it, the subsequent treasures would be even better and she would not want to miss out on them. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll have to trouble Manager Lin to help me with the auction.¡± Bai Luo smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be auctioning the Traceless Wind. Do you want to arrange a VIP seat for me?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°Miao Qing, bring her to the VIP seat.¡± Miao Qing walked over and waited for Bai Luo to put on her bamboo hat before bringing her to the VIP seat. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a Tier 7 attack talisman. ] [ Triggered 10,000 times auction profit. ] [ Obtained a tier 9 attack talisman. ] Just as he sent Bai Luo away, the system notification came. This time, he actually triggered 10,000 times auction profit. ¡°F*ck, my luck is so good.¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited, and his consciousness immediately entered the system space to check. A tier 9 attack talisman could unleash an extremely powerful attack, and its power was a full-strength attack from a tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse. With this talisman, anyone in the Dragon Transformation Realm who wanted to attack him would have to think twice. Apart from the patriarchs of the three big families, no one in the Ancient Flame City would be able to withstand a full-power attack from a tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse. ¡°No, this talisman can¡¯t be sold. I¡¯ll give another treasure to Bai Luo.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. After some thought, this defensive talisman was not that important anymore. After Duanmu Jia finished auctioning off the items, it was his turn. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a low-grade tier 8 Meridian Nurturing Pill. ] [ Triggered 5,000 times auction return. ] [ Obtained a top-grade tier 8 Meridian Nurturing Pill. ] Very quickly, another piece of information was sent over. The auction return had given him a top-grade tier 8 spirit pill. The Meridian Nurturing Pill was able to allow one¡¯s meridians to be in contact with the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth for a long period of time. After consuming it, one¡¯s cultivation efficiency would increase by several folds. It had a very good effect. ¡°Another good item. I¡¯ll keep it.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. The next items to be auctioned were all tier 7 treasures. Duanmu Jia only had one last treasure left in her hands. ¡°Everyone, this is a low-grade rank 8 spear technique, the Profound Spear Technique.¡± ¡°Moreover, this isn¡¯t just a spear technique. It also has a supplementary cultivation technique. This technique can¡¯t be easily obtained.¡± ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, this spear art was sent by the Su clan for auction. It has an orthodox origin and doesn¡¯t have any additional troubles. You can purchase it with ease,¡± Duanmu Jia said with a smile as she held the scroll in her hands. ¡°Miss Duanmu, hurry up and announce the starting price,¡± someone below said impatiently. Duanmu Jia looked down. The atmosphere in the auction hall had already reached its peak, and everyone was eager to purchase this spear art. ¡°Profound Spear Technique. The starting bid is 5 million low-tier spiritual stones.¡± As soon as the sky-high price was announced, the crowd immediately quieted down. Clearly, there were not many people who were qualified to participate in the auction. In the VIP room, Bai Luo, who had just made a bid, was interested. However, she soon frowned. ¡°The spear art isn¡¯t bad, but it¡¯s a pity that its grade is too low¡­¡± Bai Luo said helplessly. 3 She thought that if the grade was a little higher, she would be interested in bidding. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ll go and tell Manager Lin if he has better spear techniques and long spears, I can place a bid.¡± Bai Luo said to Miao Qing who was at the back, and at the same time, waved her hand to let Miao Qing leave. Seeing this, Miao Qing¡¯s face twitched. This was a tier 8 spear technique, yet this girl actually felt that the grade was too low. One had to know that if the Su clan had not taken it out, they would not even be able to find a tier 7 spear technique. The price of 5 million made the scene a little desolate. Duanmu Jia held the auction hammer for a long time and did not drop it. She looked a little embarrassed, but she still wore a smile on her face. She knew that the attraction of a tier 8 cultivation technique was only temporary. Among these people, there might be people who would go bankrupt to buy this technique. ¡°5.1 million.¡± Just as she expected, a middle-aged man stood up and called out the price. This bid also caused the scene to explode. ¡°5.2 million.¡± A yellow-clothed old man stood up and followed suit. But his price was quickly drowned out, and the calls for a price rose and fell. ¡°6 million.¡± When everyone was calling out the price, someone in the VIP room took the lead in bidding, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. The people at the back saw that someone in the VIP room was bidding. After thinking for a moment, they could only sit down helplessly. ¡°6.5 million.¡± A crisp voice sounded. Bai Luo, who had previously complained about the low level of this spear technique, had bid. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the lady who bought the talisman? Why did she enter the VIP room?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe she took out a high-level auction item and tempted Manager Lin.¡± ¡°7 million.¡± Someone raised the price. ¡°7.5 million.¡± Bai Luo did not show any weakness and raised the price again. ¡°8 million.¡± ¡°8.5 million.¡± The other party kept raising the price, and Bai Luo also kept raising the price. Without any hesitation, she looked like she was determined to get it. In the end, when the price was raised to 9.5 million by Bai Luo, the other party had no choice but to stop the competition. Although that person had quite a bit of influence in Ancient Flame City, his financial resources were still rather meager. In order to bid for a spear technique book, he had fallen into an economic crisis. The gains did not make up for the losses. ¡°10 million.¡± Seeing the other party retreat, Bai Luo did not have the time to be happy. From where the Mu clan was located, a bid was heard. It was Mu Feng¡¯s bid. The Mu clan¡¯s bid also made Bai Luo very angry. She fiercely glanced at where the Mu clan was located. ¡°11 million.¡± Bai Luo continued to bid. ¡°12 million.¡±Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Mu Feng once again bid. ¡°Hehe, Miss, please don¡¯t blame me. After all, I¡¯m also proficient in spear techniques. This Profound Spear Technique will be of great use to me.¡± Mu Feng lightly smiled. ¡°Wait, I want to report. This miss is bidding all over the place. She can¡¯t take out 11 million spiritual stones.¡± At this moment, a man suddenly stood up and shouted towards the auction stage. ¡°She said that she didn¡¯t have any spiritual stones when she was auctioning the talismans just now. If she isn¡¯t randomly bidding now, then what is she doing?¡± Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Manager Lin, someone is randomly bidding at your auction. What do you think?¡± Sima Xun¡¯s voice also came. ¡°This lady has gone to the backstage of the auction twice. Is she colluding with Manager Lin to intentionally raise the price to scam us?¡± That man said once again, turning the spearhead toward Lin Mo. ¡°You¡­ Who said that I don¡¯t have spiritual stones?¡± Bai Luo was flustered and immediately wanted to argue. ¡°This girl sold me a treasure. She can afford to pay these spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice sounded, proving that Bai Luo had enough spiritual stones. Then, he continued, ¡°Alright, the auction continues.¡± Chapter 198 - Great Luo Spear Technique ¡°Also, there are a lot of items up for auction. You don¡¯t have to fight for them. There might be even better ones¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s voice was filled with excitement. Following that, she said with a smile, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t raise the bid. It¡¯s better to keep them for auction.¡± After she stopped raising the price, the auction house fell silent. The high price of 12 million was something that no one else could afford. Those who were capable of bidding had no choice but to give up this auction item because of the Mu clan¡¯s reputation. ¡°12 million three times, sold. Congratulations to Young Master Mu Feng for successfully bidding for the Profound Spear Technique.¡± Duanmu Jia dropped the auction hammer and retreated at the same time. The auction item in her hand had already been auctioned off. Next, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn. Seeing this, under everyone¡¯s puzzled gazes, Lin Mo walked onto the stage and took the hammer. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ll be the one holding the next auction.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the low-grade tier 8 Profound Spear Technique.¡± ¡°Triggering the 5,000 times auction return.¡± ¡°Obtaining the high-grade tier 8 Great Luo Spear Technique.¡± ¡°The high-grade tier 8 spear technique isn¡¯t considered high to me, but it¡¯s not low either.¡± Lin Mo nodded. It just so happened that he found Bai Luo quite pleasing to the eye. Both of them were targeted by the assassins of the Secret Ghost Sect, and it seemed like they were in the same boat. ¡°Hehe, I believe that everyone is waiting for something good. Since that¡¯s the case, I will naturally be satisfied. This first item is a stalk of tier 8 spiritual medicine.¡± ¡°Tsk~¡± Just as Lin Mo said that it was a spiritual medicine, Mu Feng¡¯s voice sounded from the Mu family¡¯s VIP room with disdain. ¡°Manager Lin, even though a tier 8 spirit medicine is not bad, its price is only equivalent to a tier 7 spirit pill. Is this the treasure you were talking about?¡± Mu Feng mocked. As he said this, a few chuckles sounded from within the auction hall, expressing disdain toward Lin Mo¡¯s auction item. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s see what this is first¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. A jade box appeared in his hand. The moment it appeared, a rich life aura spread out. ¡°It smells so good. This spiritual medicine is considered top-grade among tier 8, right?¡± Someone sighed. He could smell the fragrance from afar. ¡°Hmph, no matter what, it¡¯s still just a spiritual medicine.¡± Mu Feng was still disdainful. Compared to Mu Feng¡¯s disdain, the VIP room of the Su clan was a little excited. Su family¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai, stood up, his expression extremely excited. ¡°This is the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass. There¡¯s no mistake about it. Moreover, its quality is extremely good. It can suppress my injuries and extend my lifespan by a hundred years.¡± Seeing this, Su Nanshan almost laughed out loud. He hurriedly shouted, ¡°Manager Lin, quickly open the jade box. Let us broaden our horizons.¡± Su Nanshan¡¯s words caused everyone in the auction house to be a little stunned. Was it not just a tier 8 spiritual herb? Why was Su Nanshan so excited? In Ancient Flame City, as long as it was considered a first-rate force, there were more or less rank 8 spirit herbs planted in the medicinal fields¡­ ¡°Nine-colored Longevity Grass. Its quality is extremely good. It¡¯s one of the main ingredients used to refine the tier 9 top-grade spirit pill, the Immortality Pill.¡± ¡°Even though this spirit herb is classified as tier 8, its value is comparable to tier 9. This is publicly acknowledged.¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t waste any more words. The starting bid is 10 million low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be less than 500,000.¡± Lin Mo had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of the crowd, this smile was a little cunning. Even Bai Luo, who was in the VIP room, could not help but curse Lin Mo for being a profiteer. Unless the effect of a tier 8 top-grade spirit pill was good, it would only be worth around 10 million. However, the starting bid for this spirit herb was 10 million¡­ ¡°Forget it, I hope that this fellow didn¡¯t lie to me that there¡¯s a really is a good spear technique for auction¡­¡± Bai Luo curled her lips and began to watch the show. The price of 10 million made the scene a little cold. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks However, soon, an old Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse stood up. He really wanted this Nine-colored Longevity Grass. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 11 million.¡± He was an old man from a mercenary group in Ancient Flame City. He had been taking risks all his life and had extremely high strength. Unfortunately, his talent was limited. He was about to die. In a few more decades, his soul might return to heaven. Therefore, this Nine-colored Longevity Grass was more important to him than all of his assets. ¡°This old man is willing to bid 11 million. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. ¡°11.5 million.¡± ¡°12 million.¡± The silence in the audience ended. The clamor rose and fell, and shouts of bids were heard one after another. The old man who had bid at the beginning was also very anxious and kept increasing the price. In the end, after the price was raised to 15 million, he could only shake his head with a bitter smile and sit back down. Hearing the increasing prices around him, Lin Mo smiled faintly, and his gaze turned towards the VIP seats at the front. The price was almost raised, and now it was time for these people to make their bids. ¡°16 million.¡± It was not the Mu clan, nor was it the Su clan. The first to bid was the Sima clan who had been silent from the start. They did not dare to use the Nine-colored Longevity Grass, as they would have to hand it over to the higher-ups. For the Nine-colored Longevity Grass, even if they had to pay a higher price, the higher-ups would forgive them. After all, this was one of the main ingredients of the Immortality Pill. ¡°17 million.¡± Su Nanshan¡¯s voice sounded, participating in the auction. ¡°Haha, Brother Su, I didn¡¯t expect you guys to be interested in the Nine-colored Longevity Grass, so I¡¯ll join in.¡± ¡°18 million.¡± Mu clan¡¯s Patriarch Mu Ming opened his mouth and joined in the bidding. Sima Kong followed closely behind and raised the price to 20 million, doubling it. The bidding of the three great clans caused the others to not dare to say anything. Meanwhile, Lin Mo¡¯s face was full of smiles as he dropped his hammer, continuously inducing the three great clans¡¯ patriarchs to bid. ¡°This really surprises me. The Su family¡¯s patriarch has bid 26 million, but there¡¯s still an even higher price.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Was the atmosphere getting warmer? These guys were beginning to not take spiritual stones seriously. If that was the case, there would definitely be a good price for the auction later on. ¡°Hmph, this Su Nanshan is trying to argue with me, isn¡¯t he?¡± In the Mu clan¡¯s VIP room, Mu Ming fiercely threw the wine cup in his hand onto the ground. The Sima family had already given up on bidding and planned to save money to buy other auction items. However, the Su clan kept raising the price and did not give in in the slightest, as if the spiritual stones were free. Just as Mu Ming was about to continue bidding and fight to the death with Su Nanshan, Mu Feng suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, ¡°Father, be careful of any tricks. Don¡¯t forget the relationship between the Su clan and Lin Mo.¡± Mu Feng¡¯s reminder caused Mu Ming to instantly wake up. Although the Nine-colored Longevity Grass was good, it was still just a main ingredient. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Moreover, even if he managed to find all the medicinal ingredients, it was still a little impossible to refine a true Immortality Pill. If he did not refine the Immortality Pill, then the value of this Nine-colored Longevity Grass was equivalent to 900 years of lifespan. This was at most 20 million low-grade spiritual stones, and the price had already exceeded it¡­ ¡°Damn it, I was almost tricked by that b*stard Su Nanshan.¡± After understanding everything, Mu Ming cursed angrily. He was certain that as long as he increased the price, Su Nanshan would definitely give up and let him be the sucker¡­ Chapter 199 - The Delirious Mu Feng ¡°Clan Leader Su is the highest bidder now, 26 million low-grade spiritual stones. Has Clan Leader Mu given up?¡± ¡°This is the Nine-colored Longevity Grass, a once-in-a-hundred-years opportunity. If you miss it, you might not be able to find it in your lifetime.¡± Lin Mo advised, asking Clan Leader Mu to increase the price. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this price is a little high. I don¡¯t want to follow it.¡± Mu Ming laughed lightly. After thinking that he had seen through Lin Mo and Su Nanshan¡¯s schemes, he was extremely pleased. ¡°Alright, then I announce that this Nine-colored Longevity Grass will belong to the Su clan.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer. Looking at the regretful faces of the crowd below, Lin Mo took out a pale yellow scroll. He raised the scroll and said, ¡°Tier 8 Great Luo Spear Technique.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a cultivation technique attached to it, and it was a set. Everyone must not miss it.¡± ¡°The starting price is 12 million.¡± Lin Mo introduced this Great Luo Spear Technique, and the atmosphere in the room became strange. Some people looked toward the Mu clan¡¯s VIP Room. Mu Feng had been extremely heroic just now, spending 12 million to buy a low-grade tier 8 spear art. However, an even stronger spear technique book had appeared. Everyone¡¯s gaze was as if they were looking at a fool. Inside, Mu Feng was also in a bad mood. His face was filled with anger. ¡°B*stard, this Lin Mo must have done it on purpose.¡± He smashed his fist onto the table, feeling rather depressed. Now, no matter what others said, he believed that Lin Mo had tricked him. ¡°12.5 million.¡± Mu Ming thought for a moment before slowly calling out the bid, and he only increased it by 500,000. ¡°Haha, isn¡¯t your Mu clan very strong? Where¡¯s the momentum from the previous fight with me? Why did you only increase it by 500,000? That¡¯s too little.¡± Hearing Mu Ming¡¯s bid, Bai Luo could not sit still and immediately started to mock him loudly. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Waves of laughter came from the surroundings, causing Mu Ming¡¯s expression to become even uglier. Only then did he remember that they had come here to see Lin Mo make a fool of himself. Why had they become a joke instead? Furthermore, it was clearly an auction organized by their competitors, yet he was so eager to bid for it. This was truly¡­ ¡°15 million, I¡¯ll take this Great Luo Spear Technique. Your Mu clan can move aside.¡± Seeing that Mu Ming did not respond to her ridicule, Bai Luo felt a little bored and started to bid. ¡°16 million.¡± Mu Ming¡¯s cold voice sounded. ¡°18 million.¡± Bai Luo raised another two million and spoke out in disdain of the Mu clan. The increase was too little. ¡°20 million.¡± Mu Ming followed closely, but everyone could already hear his anger from his gritted teeth. It was very obvious that the Mu clan one of the three great clans of Ancient Flame City, was already overflowing with anger. If he did not care about his image and did not want to be called a bully, he would have acted long ago. ¡°22 million.¡± ¡°23 million.¡± The Great Luo Spear Technique, which had originally moved many people, was suddenly pushed to a height that no one could reach. At the same time, people were also very curious about the background of this lady. One had to know that she had offended the Mu clan, one of the three great clans of Ancient Flame City. It was not just the Mu clan. Behind the Mu clan stood a colossus like the fourth prince. Even if this young lady really took down the Great Luo Spear Technique, could she really take it away? When the price of the Great Luo Spear Technique was raised to 26 million, Mu Ming finally stopped raising the price and gave up. Seeing that Mu Ming had given up, Lin Mo did not hesitate. After dropping the hammer three times, he auctioned off this Great Luo Spear Technique to Bai Luo. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°The Great Luo Spear Technique isn¡¯t weak either. It¡¯s worthy of this book, right?¡± After the auction ended, Lin Mo let out a faint laugh. Although he had gained a huge advantage, Bai Luo had also profited. ¡°The next item up for auction is a mid-grade tier 8 spirit pill, the Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill.¡± ¡°This Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill isn¡¯t an ordinary spirit pill. It has a miraculous effect on experts below tier 9 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± ¡°Especially for those with high talent, the effect is even better.¡± ¡°The starting price is 5million.¡± Lin Mo called out the starting price, and everyone rubbed their palms together, thinking highly of this Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill. However, the most excited ones were Su Yuelong, Sima Xun, and Mu Feng. The three of them were all at tier 9 of the Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill. If they consumed it, they would definitely reach tier 10 of the Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill within a short period of time. Seeing this, Lin Mo also nodded. This spirit pill was obtained by Duanmu Jia when she auctioned the tier 7 spirit pill. He originally planned to give it to Yan Rong. After all, Yan Rong was at tier 9 Dragon Transformation Realm. However, Yan Rong said that his strength had reached the tier 10 Dragon Transformation Realm three days ago, so he did not need the Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill. As for Lin Die, her talent was very high. At the very least, she did not need the help of the spirit pill during the early stages of her cultivation¡­ ¡°10 million.¡± The auction began. Someone directly called out the price and directly increased the bid by five million, causing Mu Feng, who was just about to make a move, to choke. Numerous gazes turned towards the VIP seats of the Su family. The person who had just called out the price was the young master of the Su family, Su Yuelong. On the stage, Lin Mo was also shocked by Su Yuelong¡¯s move. After being stunned for a moment, he could only helplessly say, ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Mu Feng sat slumped on the chair. In his heart, he had already cursed all eighteen generations of Su Yuelong¡¯s ancestors. ¡°B*stard, how can this Su Yuelong bid like this?¡± As his gaze flickered, Mu Feng gritted his teeth and turned around to look at his father. Mu Ming¡¯s expression was ice-cold as he ignored him. Clearly, he was still holding a grudge against Bai Luo, who had always provoked him. As his eyes flickered, Mu Feng gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, ¡°15 million. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re the only one who will raise the bid by 5 million.¡± His attitude scared everyone silly. This was truly the foolish son of a landlord. People were foolish and had a lot of money. Mu Feng would follow no matter how much one bid. Mu Ming reacted from the side and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. On the other side, Su Yuelong originally wanted to bid but was stopped by Su Nanshan. Although this Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill¡¯s effect was good, it was at most worth 10 million. ¡°Alright, if you bid again, he¡¯ll give up. This loss-making business, let them have it,¡± Su Nanshan said. Su Yuelong heard this and nodded his head in agreement. He originally wanted to bid a high price, scare everyone, and accept this spirit pill. However, it seemed like there was no need for that now. Some people were stupid and had a lot of money, and they liked to be fools. Lin Mo was stunned again on the stage. Was this Mu Feng provoked? Why was he blindly bidding as well? ¡°Cough cough, Young Master Mu Feng has offered 15 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo coughed and said. However, the people present were not fools. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Whoever wanted to do this kind of money-losing business could do it. In the private room, Mu Feng was already dumbfounded. He had bid 15 million. The corners of his eyes twitched violently. He was stunned for a long while before he roared angrily, ¡°B*stard, Su Yuelong, you actually dared to set me up.¡± ¡°Sigh, don¡¯t slander me. I really want it, but I only bid 10 million,¡± Su Yuelong said with a faint smile. ¡°But if you don¡¯t want this Dragon Transformation Bone Shaping Pill, I can buy it for 10 million after you buy it.¡± Chapter 200 - Tier 9 Cant Be Sold At the end of his sentence, Su Yuelong even laughed out loud. Indistinct laughter could be heard from the private room. Mu Feng¡¯s current situation was very awkward. He could neither advance nor retreat. If he was not in the VIP room right now and was in the hall, it would be even more awkward. ¡°Alright¡­ Su Yuelong, I¡¯ll remember this grudge.¡± Mu Feng panted heavily. After saying these words, he became silent. Lin Mo waved his hand in response to the extra five million. This was not arranged by him. Thinking of this, Lin Mo shook his head and started the auction once again. The items that appeared at the end of the auction were all at tier 8 without exception, causing everyone to be dumbfounded. In the end, the Su clan, Sima clan, and Mu clan no longer had any funds left. This also caused the few remaining items to be bought by a few wealthy merchants and the top clans of Ancient Flame City. Seeing that he had already earned enough money, Lin Mo also gave up on the idea of continuing the auction. If he continued to sell tier 8 treasures, he would suffer a loss¡­ ¡°Next is the final item of this auction. Taking into account that everyone might not have enough funds¡­¡± ¡°This auction can be done on credit. Of course, don¡¯t think about going back on your word. Even if you are stronger than me, there will still be people who will come looking for you¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled as he looked at the Mu clan and Sima clan. It was not just them. The other large clans and mercenary groups in Ancient Flame City all had a few spies. Lin Mo was the eighth prince¡¯s subordinate and basically could not be considered a secret. Hence, they also knew the consequences of going back on their word. ¡°Manager Lin, we can¡¯t wait any longer. Hurry up and bring out the final item.¡± Someone laughed loudly. They could not wait any longer. ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t waste any more words.¡± After saying this, Lin Mo took out a light green scroll from his spatial ring. As soon as it appeared, a faint breeze was transmitted over, swimming around the auction ground. ¡°This is the tier 9 top-grade movement martial art, Traceless Wind¡­ incomplete version.¡± As Lin Mo introduced, he placed the word ¡®incomplete¡¯ at the end of the list. Furthermore, he spoke extremely slowly. In an instant, the atmosphere in the auction hall reached its peak. Everyone¡¯s eyes turned red as they felt incredulous. ¡°Heavens, a tier 9 martial technique. It¡¯s too unbelievable. This is a treasure that even the royal family has never auctioned before¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. The royal family doesn¡¯t allow tier 9 martial techniques to be left outside. How did Manager Lin obtain it?¡± Everyone discussed animatedly. Some people knew the pros and cons of this, and their faces immediately turned pale. ¡°How is that possible? It¡¯s tier 9 martial arts! Even if it¡¯s an incomplete version, it shouldn¡¯t appear here. Is this Lin Mo trying to kill us?¡± Mu Ming and Sima Kong¡¯s expressions were similar. They were extremely shocked, and then they started to panic. The Ancient Flame city was a great city of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, and there was definitely the imperial family¡¯s spy within it. These princes and followers were all under the emperor¡¯s surveillance. Now that a top-grade tier 9 movement technique had appeared here, it was bound to make the emperor pay attention to this place. If they were not careful, these princes and followers would be exposed. If they were found out about what they had done in the past, they would definitely implicate their master. At that time, their two families would probably be exterminated¡­ ¡°It¡¯s just an incomplete copy. Is there a need to be so agitated?¡± Lin Mo frowned and looked down. Especially the people sitting in the second row. Their statuses were not low either. At this moment, their faces were deathly pale. They actually did not know what to do. ¡°Manager Lin, I want to ask, where did you get this Traceless Wind manual?¡± A voice suddenly appeared in the auction hall. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks When everyone turned around, they saw a figure appear like a ghost. He wore a bamboo hat and a knife at his waist. ¡°This aura¡­ it¡¯s Senior Luo.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart froze and he shook his head inwardly. He had been careless. He had auctioned off a top-grade tier 9 martial art without permission. It seemed like he had gotten himself into trouble. ¡°It¡¯s the punishment hall¡¯s executioner¡­¡± Su Hanhai looked at the person who appeared with a grave expression. After a long while, he said again, ¡°Even if I were to recover to my peak, I wouldn¡¯t be a match for him¡­¡± When he said this, Su Nanshan¡¯s face instantly turned pale. If that was the case, who would be able to protect Lin Mo? ¡°Senior, this item was obtained by me in the mountains. After I studied it, I¡¯m taking it out to auction it off,¡± Lin Mo said respectfully. ¡°What¡¯s the starting price?¡± Luo Haoyu asked in a deep voice. ¡°The starting price is 20 million,¡± Lin Mo replied. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 40 million. Is there anyone who wants to bid against me?¡± Luo Haoyu directly placed a bid. At the same time, his sharp gaze swept the surroundings, and no one dared to say anything. The entire place was deathly silent. Some people did not understand, but after seeing the fearful expressions of the group of people at the front, they tactfully shut their mouths. ¡°Alright, deal.¡± Lin Mo nodded and did not say anything else. A black cloth bag was thrown over and landed in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power swept over it, and within it were 4,000 mid-grade spiritual stones. The light green scroll in his hand also disappeared. In the next moment, everyone felt a ripple in space, and Luo Haoyu¡¯s figure disappeared. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the incomplete version of the tier 9 top-grade movement technique, Traceless Wind. ] [ Triggered 7,000 times auction return. ] [ Obtained tier 9 top-grade movement technique, Traceless Wind. ] After receiving the rebate from the system, Lin Mo remained expressionless. At the same time, a soft voice entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears. ¡°Don¡¯t sell a tier 9 with an unknown origin¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head without a change in expression. Judging from Luo Haoyu¡¯s hurried tone, this matter might be very troublesome. ¡®Xiyue, I hope I won¡¯t cause any trouble for you¡­¡¯ Lin Mo prayed in his heart. He had also been blinded by the tier 9 top-grade movement technique and had not analyzed the pros and cons of it. If he had known earlier, he would have bought it in private¡­ ¡°Alright, the auction is over. Those who have bought the items will pay Miao Qing to receive the treasures.¡± Perhaps it was because of Luo Haoyu¡¯s appearance, the crowd did not dare to stay any longer. Those who did not bid left the venue one after another. Those who had participated in the auction also went to Miao Qing and quickly exchanged for the treasures. When the crowd was almost gone, the people from the Su family finally walked out of the VIP room. ¡°Little friend, you really scared me to death¡­¡± Su Hanhai had a face full of lingering fear as he told Lin Mo about his perception just now. ¡°What? Elder Su, you¡¯re not a match even when you¡¯ve recovered to your peak?¡± Lin Mo was shocked and found it unbelievable. Previously, he had guessed that Luo Haoyu¡¯s strength was above level 25 Dragon Transformation Realm, but he had still underestimated it. From Su Hanhai¡¯s description, Luo Haoyu was most likely a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. As expected of a tier 5 executioner of the hall of punishment, his strength was so terrifying. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Little friend, let¡¯s keep a low profile. When his highness the eighth prince gives the order, this executioner today should listen to the Emperor.¡± Su Hanhai said. He was also glad that the executioner would listen to the emperor. If the executioner listened to a prince, Lin Mo would probably be eliminated. ¡°I understand. Elder Su, please rest assured. I will report this matter to the higher-ups.¡± Lin Mo nodded. After sending the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass to Su Hanhai and chatting for a while, the Su clan members left. After sending them off, Lin Mo looked at a private room in the auction house and said, ¡°Everyone has left. Why aren¡¯t you coming out?¡± Chapter 201 - Spirit Ever since Luo Haoyu appeared, Bai Luo had been silent, not making a sound. ¡°Creak¡­¡± The wooden door of the private room slowly opened, and Bai Luo poked her head out and walked out. Looking at her slightly frightened appearance, Lin Mo was instantly infuriated. ¡°Looking at you, how did you know that something like this would happen?¡± Lin Mo frowned. This girl could not be deliberately trying to trick him, right? ¡°A normal tier 9 would naturally be like this, but this is only an incomplete copy¡­¡± Bai Luo said with a face full of frustration. Looking at her expression, she also felt a little regretful. ¡°Sigh, although Ancient Flame City is a great city, isn¡¯t it a little too much to send a tier 5 executioner to guard it¡­¡± After repeatedly making sure that no one was spying on them, Bai Luo was no longer restrained, but she was still very dissatisfied. ¡°Your Yanhuang Divine Empire is really boring. You¡¯re so controlling of the outside world. No wonder the overall strength of the entire dynasty is ranked last.¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes and continued to ridicule. Hearing this, Lin Mo became interested and said, ¡°What? From your words, are you not a member of the Yanhuang Divine Empire?¡± Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The Yanhuang dynasty had very strict control over cultivation resources. Not to mention tier 9, even tier 8 treasures were rarely leaked out. For some of the more powerful ones, such as the tier 8 top-grade Great Luo Spear Technique that Bai Luo had just obtained, the Yanhuang Divine Empire would definitely come looking for them if the news spread. They would either let Bai Luo take up a position in the imperial family, or they would use other methods to take it away. In any case, it would be the case if it was at tier 8, let alone tier 9. ¡°Of course I¡¯m not. I¡¯m just here to gain some experience,¡± Bai Luo curled her lips and said. She said that if she had known that the Yanhuang Divine Empire was so strict with the outside world, she would have gone to Great Yan Divine Empire. ¡°Oh right, prepare some spirit pills and elixirs to heal your wounds. Something big is going to happen in Ancient Flame City,¡± Bai Luo reminded Lin Mo. After receiving the Great Luo Spear Technique and the remaining spiritual stones from Lin Mo, Bai Luo stood up and took her leave. However, her words surprised Lin Mo a little. What big thing could happen in Ancient Flame City? Moreover, she even asked him to prepare the healing pills. Could it be that some evil cultivator sect was going to attack Ancient Flame City? As Lin Mo guessed, he was amused by his own thoughts in the end. The Yanhuang Divine Empire was very strict with the forces in their territory. Evil cultivator sects would be killed as soon as they appeared. There were very few evil cultivators who could grow to the Dragon Transformation Realm, let alone the Nirvana stage¡­ Seeing that Lin Mo did not take her words seriously, Bai Luo frowned and stepped forward, ¡°Believe me, unless you don¡¯t plan to participate in a prosperous era.¡± ¡°In short, hurry up and collect the life-saving items on your.¡± Bai Luo finished speaking with a solemn expression. Seeing that Lin Mo was starting to believe her, she nodded her head in satisfaction and turned around to leave. However, just as she walked to the door, she seemed to have sensed something and retreated back. ¡°What¡¯s the matter again?¡± Lin Mo was speechless. Why did this lass keep turning her head back every step she took? ¡°Hey, your auction house¡¯s security measures aren¡¯t good at all¡­¡± Bai Luo said with a bitter expression. Hearing that, Lin Mo looked out of the door. Other than the servant who was cleaning, there was nothing wrong with the rest. ¡°That¡¯s not right. The strength of this servant¡­¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo sensed something unusual. His soul power spread out, and finally, he felt the strength of a tier 10 Dragon Transformation Realm from the servant. ¡°Who sent them?¡± Lin Mo frowned and looked at Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia. ¡°Master, that¡¯s the servant who came to apply for the job. Is there a problem?¡± Miao Qing stood out and asked. Duanmu Jia was in charge of collecting the treasures in the auction house and buying them while he was in charge of managing them. ¡°There¡¯s a big problem. Your master isn¡¯t that shameless. How can a tier 10 Dragon Transformation Realm to sweep the floor for him¡­¡± Bai Luo curled her lips and said. ¡°What?¡± Miao Qing was shocked. His strength was still one step away from the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, this was also the reason why Lin Mo gave him so many cultivation resources. As for Duanmu Jia, her cultivation level was even lower. This also caused the two of them to not be able to see through each other¡¯s background, causing the servant to sneak in. ¡°Master, do you need me to handle it?¡± Yan Rong stepped forward and asked. At the same time, he also indicated that he would be responsible for the safety of the auction house in the future. This way, he could prevent any more experts from sneaking in. ¡°There¡¯s no need. You continue to teach Lin Die how to cultivate. Only make a move if Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia can¡¯t handle it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. As for this servant, he did not intend to deal with her. He wanted to keep the servant for now and see what tricks the other party could pull. ¡°Wait, a tier 10 Dragon Transformation Realm expert. Will you be afraid of her?¡± Lin Mo looked at Bai Luo. ¡°Of course not. However, who is standing behind this person? I don¡¯t know. What if it¡¯s the Mu clan?¡± Bai Luo shook her head. She found a place to sit down, not willing to leave this place no matter what. ¡°Anyway, this place of yours is big enough, having me here isn¡¯t a big deal.¡± Bai Luo smiled sweetly at Lin Mo. . Her smile was very sweet, and her current shameless attitude made people feel even more adorable. However, Lin Mo was not affected, and with a straight face, he said, ¡°I¡¯m not letting you stay, get out.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so stingy. At least I auctioned off a tier 9 top-grade movement technique,¡± Bai Luo said with a bitter expression. However, when she saw Lin Mo¡¯s expression, she immediately rolled her eyes. She was acting cute for the blind to see¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you a big secret, but you need to let me temporarily stay in the auction house. How about it?¡± Bai Luo said. This piqued Lin Mo¡¯s interest. He found a place to sit down and said, ¡°Is it the big event that you just mentioned?¡± He was still very curious about what exactly was going to happen in ancient flame city and how Bai Luo knew about it in advance. Luo Haoyu did not tell him, which meant that Jiang Xiyue did not know about it either, so the chances of the crown prince and the fourth prince knowing about it were very small. This made Lin Mo even more curious about Bai Luo¡¯s identity. ¡°Let me say this first. Don¡¯t ask about things I don¡¯t want to tell you. I won¡¯t tell you even if you ask me,¡± Bai Luo said with her head raised. After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Luo slowly told him what she knew. ¡°There is a ruin under Ancient Flame City. Do you know about this?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°Of course I know.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Not only did he know, but he also came for this. ¡°That¡¯s easy to say. In about half a month, the Ancient Flame Ruin will appear. At that time, not only Ancient Flame City but also the nearby forces will come to join in the fun.¡± Bai Luo smiled. ¡°You must know that the Ancient Flame Ruin was left behind after the Ancient Flame Sect was destroyed 30,000 years ago.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that within the ruins, there might be spirit grade treasures that appear. Their value is hard to estimate.¡± After Bai Luo finished speaking, her large eyes were filled with little stars, as if she had already pocketed these treasures. ¡°How did you know?¡± Lin Mo turned pale with shock. How did Bai Luo know about the Ancient Flame Ruins when there were no signs of it? ¡°Hey, I already said not to ask too much.¡± Bai Luo waved her hand, unwilling to say anything more. ¡°A spirit-grade treasure huh. If we obtain it, even if we are wanted by the Yanhuang Divine Empire, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¡°When the time comes, follow me. I¡¯ll bring you to a bigger place and let you see the world.¡± Bai Luo said with a smile, looking forward to it¡­ Chapter 202 - Breaking Through the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly Lin Mo felt a little helpless after receiving so much news all of a sudden. This piece of news was too important. If he could auction off a spirit-grade treasure, he would be able to obtain an even higher quality one, right? If he was a little luckier, with a 10,000-fold rebate, a spirit-level would directly become an earth-level¡­ 1 ¡°Big brother¡­ What are you laughing at?¡± Just as Lin Mo was looking forward to it, a tender voice sounded, bringing Lin Mo back to reality. ¡°Miss, why are you here? Has your training ended?¡± Yan Rong quickly walked over and carefully sized up Lin Die. ¡°Mmhm, the mission that Big Brother Yan Rong gave to Lil¡¯ Die has been completed.¡± Lin Die said with a smile. ¡°Eh, a Colorful Fire Demon. This is a rare beast that was raised by nature. It even transformed. Amazing¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s eyes lit up, and she quickly ran over. Bai Luo stretched out her hand, and under Lin Die¡¯s unwilling expression, she kept patting her meridians, squeezing them from time to time. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re hurting me¡­¡± Bai Luo scrutinized it carefully. In the end, Lin Die looked at Bai Luo with tears in her eyes. Seeing that she was indifferent, Lin Die turned around and asked Lin Mo for help. ¡°Alright, you can just look at her, but what are you touching her for?¡± Lin Mo walked up and pulled Bai Luo to the side. He rubbed Lin Die¡¯s pink face and smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Lil¡¯ Die. This sister doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions.¡± He carried Lin Die and felt extremely violent energy in her body. This energy made Lin Mo feel apprehensive and he could not help but look at Yan Rong. ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. The growth of the Colorful Fire Demon is like this. It devours a large amount of spiritual Qi and continuously breaks through the shackles. This is their innate ability, breaking through the cocoon and becoming a butterfly,¡± Yan Rong replied. ¡°Breaking through the shackles, growing in adversity. Breaking through the cocoon, and becoming a butterfly. It seems that your future path is not easy,¡± Lin Mo nodded and said. There were very few records of the Colorful Fire Demon in ancient books. All he needed was only a little. He simply did not know how to raise it. Even Yan Rong did not know much. He could only figure out the difficulties that Lil¡¯Die would face in the future from his own understanding. ¡°You guys can¡¯t do this.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo came forward again. Lil¡¯ Die immediately hugged Lin Mo tightly in fear. This timid look made everyone¡¯s heart soften. ¡°Little sister, don¡¯t be afraid. Big sister is a good person¡­ hehe¡­¡± Bai Luo laughed mischievously, wanting to carry Lin Die away from Lin Mo¡¯s embrace. However, Lin Die was like an octopus, tightly hugging Lin Mo, unwilling to let go no matter what. ¡°Oh well¡­ Originally, I wanted to teach you a cultivation method, so that you can become stronger and protect Lin Mo in the future. Since you don¡¯t appreciate my kindness, then forget it.¡± Bai Luo did not touch Lin Die, and could only pretend to be regretful. As expected, after hearing these words, Lin Die¡¯s struggle weakened. She raised her head to look at Lin Mo before slowly releasing her hand. After releasing her hand, Bai Luo very easily carried Lin Die away. She ruthlessly rubbed Lin Die¡¯s tender little face before releasing her hand in satisfaction. ¡°So cute. What a pity. Why did you follow such a Master?¡± Bai Luo said with a regretful expression, causing Lin Mo¡¯s face to darken. If not for the fact that Bai Luo wanted to give Lin Die the Colorful Fire Demon¡¯s cultivation method, Lin Mo would have chased her away with a dark expression. ¡°Yes, big sister will keep her promise. In the future, the spiritual Qi that you cultivate will revolve according to this technique for a whole day.¡± Bai Luo took out an ancient scroll and unfolded it. Immediately, a weak spiritual energy fluctuation spread out. The scroll was carved with the shape of a human. However, the meridians inside were quite complicated and did not seem like human meridians. ¡°The Colorful Fire Demon is a rare beast raised by nature. When it grows up, its combat power is extraordinary.¡± ¡°But it is because of this that the cultivation of the Colorful Fire Demon has so many difficulties.¡± Bai Luo said. The Colorful Fire Demon needed to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly nine times in total. Every time it made a breakthrough, it would obtain great power. After nine times, it would break out of its beast form and become a real human. At that time, her cultivation talent would increase exponentially, and her comprehension of the dao arts would also be a notch higher. ¡°Breaking out of its cocoon to become a butterfly nine times? What does that have to do with this cultivation method of yours?¡± Lin Mo asked. Bai Luo giggled and said, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Each time it breakthrough, it will be a life and death ordeal.¡± ¡°At that time, the spiritual Qi in her body will lose its spirituality, and she will lose control and bite back at her master.¡± ¡°During the cultivation of this scroll, a trace of spiritual Qi will be left behind.¡± ¡°At that time, when the spiritual Qi that has lost control passes through these meridians, the spirituality will recover a little bit.¡± After Bai Luo¡¯s explanation, everyone finally understood why the cultivation of the Colorful Fire Demon was so dangerous. Yan Rong also had a face full of self-blame and was extremely vexed. The cultivation that he arranged for Lin Die was to temper her body with spiritual Qi to withstand the danger of breaking through. Now, it seemed that he had underestimated the price of being born and raised. ¡°Oh right, where did you get the Colorful Fire Demon? You¡¯re so lucky¡­¡± Bai Luo asked curiously. She told Lin Mo that in the entire continent, there were no more than a handful of demonic beasts that met the criteria of being born and raised. Therefore, it would be best if Lin Mo could find a treasure that could conceal his aura. Otherwise, if an expert who knew the value of the treasure discovered Lin Die, he would probably directly snatch it away. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die belongs to big brother. No one can snatch me away.¡± Lin Die said unhappily, waving her small fists in protest. ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. There are too many ways to control a person. Contracts, blood oaths, and so on¡­¡± Bai Luo shook his head. These methods were much stronger than coercion and enticement. Moreover, if Lin Die¡¯s strength was not enough, she would not be able to resist. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die will become stronger and become the strongest. protect big brother,¡± Lin Die said firmly. However, her firm expression did not last for a second before it was broken by Bai Luo. ¡°Too cute. I really want to kidnap you.¡± Bai Luo rubbed Lin Die¡¯s pink little face again before reluctantly letting her go. The moment she broke free, Lin Die flew out. This new sister was too scary. She did not want to fall into her hands. Bai Luo wanted more. She wanted to chase after Yan Rong, who was teaching Lin Die cultivation and ravage this little girl. However, when she saw Lin Mo¡¯s unfriendly gaze, she did not act rashly. ¡°Hey, I didn¡¯t think that I would be able to see the rare beasts of Heaven and earth. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll give you a gift.¡± Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s unfriendly gaze, Bai Luo immediately took out a treasure from her ring. It was a piece of jade with some complicated runes carved on it. It was extremely mysterious. ¡°This is a breathing technique, a tier 7 top-grade martial art. It can perfectly conceal one¡¯s aura. Of course, it can¡¯t hide from a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.¡± Bai Luo explained that she had extracted this from the family¡¯s secret technique. She had only taken a few runes and modified them before finally creating the aura concealment technique. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so powerful, to be able to create a level 7 top-grade martial art.¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. He had originally thought that he had overestimated Bai Luo, but in the end, he had actually underestimated her. ¡°There¡¯s no choice. This young lady is gifted and intelligent. This is talent, and you won¡¯t be able to learn it.¡± Bai Luo raised her head and smiled confidently. Chapter 203 - Sell Them All After chatting for a while more, Lin Mo asked Miao Qing to arrange a place for Bai Luo. At the same time, he took Bai Luo¡¯s words seriously. The Ancient Flame Ruin was about to appear, and this might be an opportunity. Furthermore, he had the complete map of the Ancient Flame Ruin in his hands, and it could be of use inside. ¡°Jiajia, keep an eye out for healing pills and elixirs. As long as they appear, take them all.¡± ¡°Remember, the more the better. It¡¯s best to use up all the spiritual stones in your hands.¡± Lin Mo reminded Duanmu Jia and told her to leave. After everyone had left, Lin Mo walked toward the auction hall¡¯s secret room. He took out the breathing technique he had just obtained and studied it carefully. Perhaps it was because Bai Luo did not pay much attention when she was creating it, but a few of the runes were very shallow. This breathing technique was not difficult to learn. In less than half an hour, Lin Mo had already learned it. After learning it, he realized that there were only three runes in it, and they gave off a mysterious feeling. ¡°This should be a technique that was not passed down in her family. If I only auctioned these three runes, would I be able to obtain the complete technique?¡± Lin Mo pondered for a moment before shaking his head. He had a good impression of Bai Luo. Furthermore, even though Bai Luo had concealed her identity, she did not hide anything from him. He had already told her everything he needed to know, and he had even given her a secret manual. It would not be appropriate for him to place his attention on her secret art. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll cultivate Traceless Wind first.¡± After expelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin Mo flipped through the complete version of Traceless Wind and memorized every move and move within it. The more he read, the more shocked Lin Mo became. The profoundness of Traceless Wind had exceeded his expectations. Every time he circulated his spiritual Qi according to the method of Traceless Wind, he would feel as if he was in midair. Not only that, he also felt a faint breeze around him. This shocked Lin Mo, because this breeze had affected another power within his body. This was the power of the God Slayer body. Unknowingly, the God Slayer body had been triggered, resonating with the power of Traceless Wind. ¡°This is the power of the Dao. This Traceless Wind might have the same immeasurable potential as the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He did not expect to gain so much this time. Most importantly, Lin Die had obtained the correct cultivation method. The success rate of breaking through had increased significantly. Lin Mo gradually entered a meditative state as he was immersed in joy. A gentle breeze slowly blew around him. Faintly, shadows of Lin Mo appeared one after another. These shadows surrounded Lin Mo and took a step forward. The gentle breeze blew past, leaving no traces behind. The complete version of the Traceless Wind continuously appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. In the end, they were connected and connected to each other. Time passed. During this period, Duanmu Jia came to look for Lin Mo. however, after sensing the dense spiritual Qi in the secret chamber, she did not dare to disturb him and retreated. Seven days passed in a flash. What awakened Lin Mo from his cultivation state was a bolt of lightning from a clear sky. That¡¯s right. On a cloudless day, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky. The power of the Lightning exploded, creating a ravine in the center of the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range outside of Ancient Flame City. At the same time, an astonishing spiritual Qi spread out, and an ancient aura spread out. The entire Ancient Flame City, and even the cities thousands of miles away, all sensed the abnormality. When the lightning and spiritual Qi dispersed, someone took the risk to enter the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range and arrived in front of this ravine. At the bottom of the ravine, a spatial crack appeared, and anyone who approached was swallowed up. No one was spared, and as a result, many people died. Among them, there was also a powerhouse at tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm. Lin Mo withdrew from his cultivation state, his face filled with regret. He already had a simple control over Traceless Wind, and the speed at which he used it was astonishing even though he was at tier12 Dragon Transformation Realm. He felt that even if a powerhouse at tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm were to chase after him, he would be able to escape easily. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Traceless Wind isn¡¯t like Ten Thousand Stars Arrival where it can be modified.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Perhaps it was because his realm was not high enough, thus he still hadn¡¯t been able to understand the profoundness within. Walking out of the secret cultivation room, Lin Mo quickly met the bored Bai Luo. ¡°You¡¯re really slow. If it was not for that lightning bolt in the sky, I¡¯m afraid you would still have to continue cultivating, right?¡± Bai Luo said with a frown. ¡°The Ancient Flame Ruin has appeared?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°That¡¯s right, it was blasted out by the heavenly lightning bolt. I didn¡¯t expect that theAncient Flame Ruin, which the world has been searching for for so long, would actually appear in such a manner.¡± Bai Luo smiled and told Lin Mo that the Ancient Flame Ruin had just experienced a lightning strike. The spatial energy at the entrance was unstable. Now, unless a Nirvana Realm expert entered, anyone who entered would die. ¡°Wait for another two days, and the spatial energy will weaken. At that time, we¡¯ll be able to enter.¡± As she spoke, Bai Luo asked Lin Mo if the healing pills and herbs had been prepared. After all, they would probably be attacked from both sides after entering. Without the supply of pills and herbs, they might not be able to last until the time when the spirit-level treasure appeared. ¡°That¡¯s right, I almost forgot to take care of business.¡± Lin Mo smacked his forehead. Only then did he remember that Duanmu Jia should have collected a lot of healing spirit pills and spirit herbs in the past eight days. ¡°Jiajia, how are the healing spirit pills and spirit herbs coming along?¡± ¡°Master, you gave me too many spiritual stones, so I bought a lot of good things.¡± Duanmu Jia walked up and said respectfully. ¡°Among them, there are 170 tier 6 spirit herbs and 225 tier 6 spirit pills.¡± ¡°There are 93 tier 7 spirit herbs and 52 tier 7 spirit pills. I bought them from the Duanmu family.¡± ¡°As for tier 8 spirit herbs, there are five of them. There¡¯s also a spirit pill that is a half-step tier 8 Mystic Jade Pill.¡± The lack of spirit pills was specially sent by the Su clan after they found out that she was collecting healing spirit pills and spirit herbs. Due to Su Hanhai, the Su clan had very few healing spirit pills. If Duanmu Jia had bought them any later, even this Mystic Jade Pill would have been eaten by Su Hanhai. ¡°Miao Qing, we¡¯ll hold an auction tonight. We won¡¯t sell anything else. We¡¯ll only sell healing pills and herbs,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. As long as he auctioned off these pills and herbs, the rebate he would get would be more than ten tier 8 and more than a hundred tier 7 pills. As long as he was careful in the Ancient Flame Ruis, there would definitely be no problems. ¡°Ah?¡± Bai Luo was originally quite satisfied after hearing Duanmu Jia¡¯s report. After all, there were quite a few survivors. As long as they did not seek death, they should be fine. However, before she could be happy, Lin Mo¡¯s words made her dumbfounded. ¡°Hey, are you kidding me? It wasn¡¯t easy to collect them, and you want to sell them?¡± Bai Luo said hurriedly. It was not possible that Lin Mo had never been to the ruins, so he did not know how dangerous the battles in the ruins were, right? ¡°Master, you can¡¯t.¡± ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been to the ruins before. The chances of surviving without healing pills are almost zero.¡± Yan Rong walked over from afar. Miao Qing followed behind him. When she heard that Lin Mo was planning to sell the healing pills, he hurriedly tried to persuade him. ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated. Sell these. I can buy even better ones with the spiritual stones from them.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. When everyone heard this, they recalled the many good things in Lin Mo¡¯s hands¡­ Chapter 204 - Suddenly Increasing the Price Every time there was a shortage of goods in the auction house, Lin Mo would be able to easily solve it. He was like a treasure bag, able to find countless treasures. While everyone was curious, they could not help but ask questions. Right now, Lin Mo was about to start the auction again, and it was at a time when countless people were planning to head over to the ancient ruin. Healing-type pills and herbs were in urgent need. At this moment, a maid walked over, bowed respectfully, and said, ¡°Owner, someone from the Su clan has come to visit and is waiting in the living room.¡± Hearing this, Duanmu Jia hurriedly said, ¡°Owner, the Su clan has come a few times these few days.¡± She wanted to know the eighth prince¡¯s attitude toward the Su clan¡¯s surrender. However, Lin Mo had been in closed-door cultivation, so they could only leave. ¡°This¡­¡± It was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be troubled. He really did not know Jiang Xiyue¡¯s attitude toward the Su clan. After all, he had never told anyone about this matter. However, Jiang Xiyue had some spies. Perhaps Luo Haoyu had also told them about the situation in Ancient Flame City. Thinking of this, Lin Mo shook his head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go to the Su clan first.¡± In the guest hall, there were only two people from the Su family who came this time, Su Yuelong and Su Hanhai. Moreover, Su Hanhai¡¯s body emitted an extremely powerful aura. He was no longer as pale as before. From the looks of it, the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass should have been completely refined by him. ¡°Haha, Little Friend Lin Mo, this old man has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Su Hanhai laughed loudly. Lin Mo looked at the recovered Su Hanhai and had some thoughts in his heart. This was an expert who was at the tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, he had the qualifications to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Although the Ancient Flame Ruin was very attractive, due to its sudden appearance, there were not many people who could come. Only a few cities near Ancient Flame City could come. Moreover, besides a portion of these people who were active in the wild, most of them were in Ancient Flame City. ¡°Elder Su, I am going to hold an auction next. I would like to invite you to take charge. Is that possible?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Su Hanhai naturally would not reject his request. He agreed on the spot. ¡°Speaking of which, young friend, what kind of treasure are you planning to sell at this auction?¡± Su Hanhai asked. He was also very curious about the origin of Lin Mo¡¯s treasure. To be able to take out so many high-grade treasures, his origin must be extraordinary. However, if it was said that it was given by the eighth prince, then it would not be to the extent of taking out a tier 9 martial art. ¡°All of them are spirit pills and spirit medicines, and they are healing types,¡± Lin Mo smiled and said his plan. Since the Ancient Flame Ruin had appeared, then it would not make sense if he didn¡¯t take the opportunity to make a fortune. It just so happened that he had the God Slayer Body, which could devour all energy. Spiritual stones were used up very quickly for him. Naturally, the more the better. ¡°What?¡± Su Hanhai and Su Yuelong exclaimed at the same time. Auctioning healing-type spirit pills and spirit medicines? Could it be that Lin Mo did not plan to participate in this ruin? ¡°However, I might sell it at a bit of an expensive price. When someone causes trouble, I hope elder Su can help.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. His words made Su Hanhai and Su Yuelong speechless. At this moment, why did Lin Mo look no different from those profiteers on the streets¡­ Moreover, he had also heard that Lin Mo had already been collecting spirit pills and herbs seven days ago. At that time, he was still puzzled as to why Lin Mo would do such a thing. Now, he finally knew. Moreover, he would soon be involved in this matter and follow Lin Mo to scam other people¡¯s spiritual stones. ¡°Little friend, we will be able to enter the Ancient Flame Ruin soon. Are you really going to sell the spirit pills and herbs that you have gathered with great difficulty?¡± Su Hanhai asked. He was very puzzled by Lin Mo¡¯s actions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I hope that Elder Su can also provide a batch of battle-type spirit pills.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Very quickly, a piece of news spread out. The Lin auction house would be auctioning off many high-grade spirit pills and herbs Moreover, the Su clan¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai, personally guaranteed that they were all healing and battle-type pills and herbs. At that time, Ancient Flame City and many new friends would be welcome to participate. At the same time, Lin Mo also used a tier 7 spirit pill as a price to hire a group of foreign mercenary groups. He got them to spread the news that the Lin auction house would be holding an auction tonight. Moreover, while they spread the news, they also told everyone, either explicitly or implicitly, that the Ancient Flame Ruin had appeared, and that healing and battle-type pills would be especially expensive. At night, when the auction was held, most people already thought that the auction treasures this time would be very expensive. Even so, they still surrounded the Lin auction house. It was not for anything else but to obtain one or two healing pills to prevent serious injuries from being left untreated in the ruin. ¡°Everyone says that tonight¡¯s auction items are especially expensive. How much can it be expensive¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Moreover, many people want it. Even if it¡¯s expensive, they can only accept it¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that this Lin auction house has only been open for a few days. It¡¯s fine if they don¡¯t hold any events and give some discounts, but they still want to extort. I really want to rob them.¡± ¡°Shh, don¡¯t spout nonsense. The patriarch of the Su family is personally overseeing the auction. Are you courting death¡­¡± On the auction stage, Lin Mo stood properly. Looking at the sea of people in front of him, he could not help but feel a little surprised. They had already hinted that it was very expensive, yet they still came. ¡°Thank you all for participating in this auction. I won¡¯t keep you in suspense anymore. I announce that the auction officially begins.¡± Lin Mo held the auction hammer in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a large jade bottle appeared in front of him. ¡°Pure Heart Pill, mid-grade tier 5. It can alleviate the pain in one¡¯s body, and at the same time, heal one¡¯s injuries rapidly.¡± ¡°Due to its low tier, the auction will begin in groups of ten.¡± The moment he finished speaking, there was a look of shock in everyone¡¯s eyes. Pure Heart Pills were only mid-grade tier 5 and could not be considered precious. However, it was extremely rare for ten to appear at the same time. If one was injured in battle, one would be able to recover quickly after consuming one. If it was a more serious injury, they would be able to recover quite a bit. ¡°These Pure Heart Pills will be of great help to the expedition to the ruins. We can¡¯t miss it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if we don¡¯t need it, we¡¯ll bid for it and distribute it to our brothers below us. It¡¯s an additional guarantee.¡± ¡°Manager Lin, there¡¯s no need to introduce it. We know the effects of the Pure Heart Pill. Hurry up and tell us the price.¡± Some people shouted, looking forward to the pure heart pills. Seeing this, Lin Mo no longer kept them in suspense. He said, ¡°The starting price for ten Pure Heart Pills is 300,000. Each increment must not be less than 50,000.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and said with a smile. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± At this moment, Su Hanhai, who was drinking tea backstage, heard this and spat out a mouthful of tea on the spot. ¡°A starting bid of 300,000? Are you kidding me?¡± The corner of Su Hanhai¡¯s mouth twitched. Under normal circumstances, the starting bid for 10 Pure Heart Pill would be 80,000 to 100,000. Moreover, the starting bid had to be increased by 50,000. ¡°How black-hearted is your master?¡± Su Hanhai asked. Hearing this, Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing broke into a sweat and felt a little embarrassed. Especially Duanmu Jia, whose heart was about to break. The reputation that she had painstakingly built up was gone just like that¡­ ¡°Has this guy fallen into the eyes of money¡­¡± Chapter 205 - Profiteering Merchant Lin Mo Bai Luo was also speechless. Lin Mo actually tripled the price. Was this the starting bid? This was probably not the closing price. ¡°The starting bid of 300,000, are you kidding me?¡± ¡°This is too f*cking shady. That¡¯s triple the price. In terms of wickedness, even the robbers would have to bow to you.¡± ¡°Yeah, this is too expensive. Who can afford it?¡± The crowd was in an uproar. The starting price of 300,000 and each bid could not to be lower than 50,000 each time. It was indeed very evil¡­ ¡°Cough, cough, be quiet. When you need money, you will always regret not having enough. Everyone, don¡¯t think that it¡¯s too expensive. The fact that I can sell a large number of healing spirit pills at this time is enough to prove my sincerity.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and persuaded the crowd. ¡°Moreover, what if you guys get injured when you go to the Ancient Flame Ruins and the healing spirit pills are gone? Then what¡¯s the use of holding a pile of spirit stones?¡± The auction hall was still very quiet. No one made a bid. Many people stared at Lin Mo. They did not have many spiritual stones, yet ten pure heart pills were already asking for so much¡­ Lin Mo looked at everyone like this. For a moment, the situation was a little awkward, and no one said anything. ¡°I¡­ bid 350,000¡­¡± Finally, after nearly three minutes of silence, a young man stood up and increased the bid by 50,000. After shouting these words, he seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body as he slumped down on the chair. ¡°Who is it? Why are you so impatient?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid this isn¡¯t an act.¡± ¡°Wait for it. As long as we hold out, the price will definitely be lowered.¡± Many people complained, especially when someone said that the price would be lowered later on. The young man¡¯s face was even paler, and he was filled with regret. ¡°This customer has bid 350,000. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. There was finally someone who had bid. He knew that once someone compromised, everyone would compromise in the end. This was only a matter of time. After three times, the ten Pure Heart Pills were bought by the young man at a high price of 350,000. He threw the jade bottle forward and was caught by the young man in the end. He was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Today¡¯s auction is a bit special. We¡¯ll hand over the goods as soon as you hand over the money,¡± Lin Mo said with a chuckle. This made everyone speechless once again. ¡®So you also knew that the price is ridiculously high and people might go back on their words.¡¯ Under Lin Mo¡¯s insistence, the young man took out a beast skin bag and threw it at Lin Mo. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a tier 5 middle-grade Pure Heart Pill. ] [ Triggered 100 times the auction return ] ¡°Obtained a tier 6 top-grade Pure Heart Pill.¡± After confirming that there were 350,000 low-grade spiritual stones in it, Lin Mo smiled and took out the next item. ¡°The next item is still a tier 5 spirit pill.¡± A large jade bottle appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand once more. The moment he opened it, a fragrance of flowers flowed out from it. ¡°Falling Flower Pill, a detoxifying pill. It can detoxify all kinds of poisons. Consuming it in advance can also defend against poison.¡± ¡°There are a total of five pills in there. The starting bid is 250,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones.¡± After announcing with a smile, Lin Mo waited for someone to bid, even though it was still ridiculously expensive¡­ ¡°The highest price for a Falling Flower Pill is 40,000. This fellow¡¯s starting bid is 50,000 for one pill¡­¡± Everyone gritted their teeth, wishing they could rush up and skin Lin Mo alive. ¡°Everyone, there might be poison in the Ancient Flame Ruins. After all, it¡¯s an ancient ruin, no one can say for sure¡­¡± Lin Mo continued to persuade. ¡°Alright, stop talking, I¡¯ll bid 300,000 yuan.¡± A strong man stood up and directly increased the bid. Just as Lin Mo said, there was everything in the Ancient Flame Ruins, there might even be poison. If he could obtain an antidote spirit pill, it would be safer. ¡°That profiteer is right, there might be poisonous substances in the ruins¡­ I bid 400,000.¡± Another man stood up and increased the bid by 50,000. 400,000 for five Ancient Flame Ruins, each worth 80,000. It was double the price. What a ruthless rip-off¡­ ¡°Wolf Head, what are you doing? Are you taking the spiritual stones seriously?¡± The brawny man was shocked. He did not expect that there would be people snatching such expensive Falling Flower Pills. ¡°HMPH, you can raise the price.¡±The Man called Wolf Head snorted coldly. After spending so much money, he was not in a good mood either. It was 400,000 spiritual stones. Naturally, no one would raise the price. If they were to raise the price, they would really become a sucker. ¡°Congratulations to this customer for winning the falling flower pill. Please take out your spiritual stones,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. After completing the transaction, the system notification sounded. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the tier 5 mid-grade Falling Flower Pills. ] [ Triggered 200 times the auction return. ] [ Obtained tier 6 high-grade Rejuvenation Pill. ] After completing another auction, Lin Mo smiled as he took out another jade bottle. It was still a spirit pill. ¡°Tier 6 low-grade Meridian Renewal Pill. It can reconnect severed meridians. Even if someone is severely injured, it can still save a life.¡± ¡°The starting bid is 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he completed another round of auction, causing everyone below to gnash their teeth in anger. However, it was not a good time for them to flare up. In the earlier stages of the auction, most of the items were tier 5 and tier 6 items. There were also people who bid during the auction, but most of them would stop after raising the bid once or twice. Of course, this situation would change after a period of time. Many people were shocked because the tier of the spirit pills that Lin Mo was auctioning had gradually increased. At this moment, Lin Mo took out a jade box, which was emitting a jade green energy. ¡°Low-grade tier 7 treasure, Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s inner core and two snake galls It contains an extremely dense life aura. Are you all interested?¡± Lin Mo laughed. At this moment, everyone was shocked. The Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s combat strength was not strong, but it lived deep underground. It was not easy for an ordinary person to dig it out. Furthermore, the skin on the Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s body could ignore the prying eyes of the soul force. This also made it extremely difficult to capture the Jade Spirit Snake, let alone a tier 7 Jade Spirit Snake. By selling the inner core and snake galls together, the price would not be low¡­ Furthermore, they were being sold by a profiteer like Lin Mo, which made them even more expensive¡­ ¡°The starting bid for the Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s snake galls and inner core is 8 million. Each increment must not be lower than 1 million.¡± Lin Mo laughed as he announced the start of the auction. ¡°Damn it, the money isn¡¯t enough¡­¡± Someone immediately cursed. Just the starting bid for the Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s inner core was enough to eliminate him. ¡°I¡¯ll bid ten million.¡± A mercenary group leader stood up and scanned the surroundings with his tiger eyes, causing those who wanted to bid to shut their mouths. ¡°Hehe, Bahu, you¡¯re still so direct, but I won¡¯t give up the Jade Spirit Snake.¡± Another man stood up. He was also a mercenary group leader and was active in several cities near Ancient Flame City. The strength of the two mercenary group leaders was at tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm, and they were very powerful. To be able to reach such strength, one could directly dominate a city like Lin City. ¡°11 million.¡± ¡°12 million.¡± The two did not give in at all, and the surrounding people shut their mouths. After three price increases, the price had already more than usual. No matter how expensive the Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s inner core and snake galls were, they would only be 8 million to 10 million. Now, it was already 12 million. From the looks of it, the two of them did not intend to give in. ¡°13 million.¡± The man known as the Bahu called out the price, but he was still pushed back. Chapter 206 - Cloud ¡°15 million. If you dare to raise your bid again, I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Bahu said angrily. One of his hands had already landed on the saber at his waist. His eyes were filled with fury. ¡°Alright, 15 million. Leader Bahu is really rich and overbearing. I¡¯ll let you have it. Pay up.¡± Seeing that the other party had made the bid, Lin Mo raised the auction hammer and dropped it three times. ¡°Congratulations to this customer for successfully bidding for the inner core and snake galls of the Jade Spirit Snake.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he threw the inner core and the snake galls out. However, after Leader Bahu received the treasure, his eyes flickered. He raised his head and said, ¡°Actually, I really want to know, with just a tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm person like you, where did you get the guts to raise the price like this?¡± The moment he said that, the auction house quieted down. The people sitting beside Leader Bahu immediately dispersed, not daring to stay any longer. He was a tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm expert, so everyone knew how terrifying his strength was. If he really wanted to make a move, he could easily destroy the entire auction house. Moreover, in the end, even the guards in the city did not dare to ask too many questions, and could only let him pass. ¡°Do you really want to know?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. As expected, what should have come had come. Lin Mo had slaughtered them too ruthlessly, causing many people to be dissatisfied. Hence, when Bahu provoked him, no one in the surroundings said anything fair. However, Lin Mo did not rely on these people. After all, they were not that reliable. ¡°Hmph, with just you, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to do anything to me,¡± Leader Bahu said. As he said this, he stood up and actually intended to leave, not even giving a single spirit stone. ¡°Are you sure you can leave?¡± At this moment, a voice that contained terrifying pressure came from backstage in the auction house. Following that was Leader Bahu groaning in pain. When everyone looked over, they saw that his face was pale and his body could not stop trembling, as if there was a huge mountain on his shoulder. ¡°Crack.¡± The seat beneath him directly shattered. After enduring for over ten seconds, blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. ¡°Su family¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai.¡± The man who had competed with the Bahu Mercenary Group earlier cried out in shock, but at this moment, he felt a wave of lingering fear. This was because as the auction proceeded, Lin Mo had earned a lot of spiritual stones, and even he had the thought of robbing him. From the looks of it, he was glad that his nemesis, the leader of the Bahu Mercenary Group, was the first to stand out. Furthermore, he really hoped that the Su family¡¯s patriarch could destroy the other party. With that, he would be able to start annexing the Bahu Mercenary Group, becoming the strongest mercenary group in Ancient Flame City. With that, all the escort missions in the future belong to their Blood Fiend Mercenary Group. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The Su clan¡¯s patriarch only released his pressure and suppressed the leader of the Bahu Mercenary Group alone. Moreover, after Bahu surrendered, he also withdrew his pressure and did not make things difficult for him. ¡°Thank you for showing mercy, senior.¡± The leader of the Bahu Mercenary Group broke out in cold sweat. If he hadn¡¯t surrendered just now, Su Hanhai would have attacked him directly. Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, Su Hanhai was an existence that could break through to the Nirvana Realm at any time. He was the strongest echelon under the Nirvana Realm. Forget about Bahu¡¯s tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm ability, even if he was the tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm, he would not be a match for Sun Hanhao. Since the other party had obtained the Nine-Colored Longevity Grass a while ago, the injuries in his body could be suppressed¡­ ¡°Elder Su, you are highly respected and have a very good reputation in Ancient Flame City. Why do you have to raise the price just like that?¡± Someone was dissatisfied. After holding it in for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and asked. When these words were said, many people echoed, indicating that this was not in line with Su Hanhai¡¯s image. ¡°Cough, cough¡­ this old man took the spiritual pills from Manager Lin and obtained some benefits. I only agreed to help him hold the fort. The rest has nothing to do with me.¡± Su Hanhai coughed backstage. He was also glad that he was backstage. Extorting in front of so many people, especially a few of his old friends¡­ He really did not want to admit that he was involved. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. This detestable profiteer actually used Elder Su¡¯s favor like this.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After making such a fortune, he¡¯s not afraid of being struck by lightning¡­¡± Many people complained, but they did not know what to say. Moreover, after being intimidated by Su Hanhai, some people who harbored evil thoughts did not dare to think too much and could only obediently bid. ¡°Leader Bahu, pay up,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. At this moment, Leader Bahu did not dare to act rashly anymore. After hurriedly taking out the spiritual stones, he left with the Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s inner core and snake galls. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 7 low-grade Jade Spirit Snake¡¯s inner core and snake galls. ] [ Triggered 10,000 times auction profit. ] [ Obtained the inner core and gall of a top-grade tier 9 Cloud-patterned Python. ] Having just put away the spiritual stones, Lin Mo did not have the time to rejoice over the system¡¯s auction profit. Moreover, it was a 10,000 times auction profit, which made Lin Mo extremely pleasantly surprised. ¡°Top-grade tier 9 inner core and gall of a Cloud-patterned Python. This is a holy healing medicine.¡± The gall of a Cloud-patterned Python was extremely mysterious. There were special patterns on it, and it was a treasure that countless cultivators in the Dragon Transformation Realm experts yearned for all their lives. As long as one consumed it, then as long as the person¡¯s aptitude was not too mediocre and the resources were sufficient, there was no threshold to enter the Nirvana Realm¡­ Yes, the Nirvana Realm that all the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators yearned for could be reached with just a cloud-patterned python gall. The inner core was even more mysterious. That was the essence of the Cloud-patterned Python¡¯s cultivation life. As long as one could swallow the Cloud-patterned Python¡¯s inner core, it was equivalent to having a life-saving talisman. Within the Nirvana Realm, including the Nirvana realm, no matter what kind of injuries one suffered, as long as one¡¯s soul was still present, they would be able to live. This was equivalent to being resurrected from the dead. Such an effect was rather terrifying, it was equivalent to having a second life. ¡°For who? Who should I give it to?¡± Lin Mo was at a loss for a moment. He did not need it himself, no matter what kind of pills or miraculous medicine he ate, there would be a backlash after eating it. The Cloud-patterned Python¡¯s inner core might be able to survive for a period of time, but it would be devoured very quickly. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll keep it for now¡­¡± Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief and calmed himself down. He looked at the crowd below and said with a smile, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue with the auction. Next item up for auction.¡± Lin Mo took out a silver needle from his hand. A cold light suddenly appeared, and the air was filled with a shocking chill. ¡°Tier 7 consumable weapon, arctic needle. It contains a shocking chill. When shot into a person¡¯s body, it can instantly freeze all spiritual Qi. If the other party is weak, it can even freeze their lives. ¡°This item is very expensive. The starting bid is 10 million¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He placed the silver needle in a jade box, waiting for everyone to bid. ¡°Why is he even more shameless?¡± The corners of some people¡¯s mouths twitched. This fellow was relying on Su Hanhai to back him up, and he was starting to raise the price again¡­ ¡°Manager Lin, is this really a good idea? Aren¡¯t you afraid that there won¡¯t be any business in the future?¡± someone said with a bitter smile. This was really a case of one willing to give a beating while the other was willing to take a beating¡­ This time, when the Ancient Flame Ruins appeared, before they had even entered, there were already people who had earned a lot of money¡­ ¡°Sign, I¡¯m really unwilling to do this. Everyone, don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give a huge gift to anyone who buys spirit pills.¡± ¡°Trust me, I¡¯ll wash away the profiteer¡¯s name in the end¡­¡± Lin Mo said firmly. At the same time, he also expressed that he did not say anything at the start because he was worried that someone would say that this was a method to attract people to bid¡­ Everyone thought, ¡®Then why are you saying it now?¡¯ Chapter 207 - Giving Away a Map At this moment, everyone was looking at Lin Mo with eyes filled with disdain. No matter what Lin Mo said, they would not believe him. Seeing this, Lin Mo felt extremely uncomfortable and sighed. His image was completely destroyed. In the end, this Arctic Needle was bought by the Mu clan for 12,000,000 spiritual stones, which was equivalent to the price of a tier 8 weapon. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 7 top-grade Arctic Needle. ] [ Triggered 30 times the profit from the auction. ] [ Obtained tier 7 top-grade Yin Poison Needle. ] However, the 30 times profit was not even enough to break through to tier 8. Lin Mo could not help but sigh. Looks like the 10,000 times profit from the previous auction had used up all his luck. As the auction continued, Lin Mo made a huge profit, causing countless people to be envious of him. Just the income from low-grade spiritual stones alone was already over 800 million. If converted to middle-grade spiritual stones, that would be 80,000 spiritual stones. Furthermore, the system had returned him many treasures, including four tier 9 items. However, the most precious items were the Cloud-patterned Python¡¯s inner core and snake gall. ¡°Alright, the second last item in this auction has been auctioned off. Now, it¡¯s the last item.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer and smiled at the crowd. At this moment, everyone¡¯s interest was piqued because Lin Mo had repeatedly said that the last item in the auction would wash away his reputation as a profiteer. ¡°Hmph, I want to see how this kid will wash away his reputation as a profiteer.¡± Mu Song¡¯s voice rang out from the Mu clan¡¯s VIP room. Their Mu family originally operated the auction house, and most of the people from Ancient Flame City went to their place. However, ever since Lin Mo came, all kinds of treasures came out one after another, and the Mu clan was directly hit until they closed their doors. Now that Lin Mo was raising the prices on them, to be honest, he was still very happy. No matter how much Lin Mo earned today, he would not be able to survive in Ancient Flame City in the future. His reputation had been destroyed. Unless he gave a tier 7 treasure, it would be difficult to convince the public. However, did this Lin Mo still have a tier 9 treasure? Even if he did, would he be willing to give it away? Would he dare to give it away? Thinking of this, Mu Song laughed out loud. He looked at Mu Ming and said respectfully, ¡°Father, the reputation of the Lin auction house will be destroyed. We don¡¯t need to worry anymore.¡± ¡°I suggest that we take out some of the treasures in the treasure vault and sell them cheaply to earn a good reputation.¡± ¡°When the Ancient Flame Ruins is over, the treasures that people don¡¯t need will definitely be sold at our Mu auction house.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, grandfather. This is a good opportunity to take down the Lin family¡¯s auction house,¡± Mu Feng also said. ¡°Yes, this method is indeed feasible. Now, let¡¯s see how this Lin Mo will end up,¡± Mu clan¡¯s patriarch, Mu Ming said. How Lin Mo would end this was a question that everyone wanted to know. If it was not for the Su clan¡¯s patriarch holding the fort, the angry crowd would have long come up and cut Lin Mo into pieces. ¡°Everyone, I don¡¯t plan on auctioning off the last item because its value is hard to estimate.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously as he looked at the confused crowd. In his hand, he took out a broken scroll. ¡°This is an incomplete version of the Ancient Flame Ruins map. It contains about a third of the entire map.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. At the same time, not far in front of Lin Mo, a masked man dressed in nocturnal clothes flew up. A dagger appeared in his hand and stabbed fiercely toward Lin Mo. ¡°Tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Everyone was shocked. They did not expect that someone would be so anxious and attack without waiting. At the same time, two men dressed in nocturnal clothes flew out from both sides of Lin Mo. The three of them attacked at the same time, aiming for Lin Mo¡¯s throat. ¡°Why is there still someone attacking¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned and waved his hand, causing a human figure to appear in front of him. The puppet raised its hand and grabbed a man. Its indestructible body directly shattered the dagger. At the same time, it kicked out, sending the other man flying. As for the last person, although he had rushed in front of Lin Mo, his strength was only at tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm. The weakest of the three had just arrived in front of Lin Mo when he started to regret it. Lin Mo¡¯s fingers turned into a sword, and the Sword Qi that soared into the sky surged. He raised his hand and slashed out, and a terrifying Sword Qi erupted. ¡°Spring and Autumn Exchange.¡± That person wanted to retreat, but Lin Mo used Traceless Wind, and his figure was like a ghost. ¡°Whoosh!¡± With just a single attack, this tier 14 Dragon Transformation Realm expert fell onto the auction stage. The powerful aura on Lin Mo¡¯s body disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face once more. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re courting death.¡± A deep voice sounded out, mixed with Su Hanhai¡¯s anger. With him guarding the auction, there was actually someone who dared to cause trouble. They really did not put him in their eyes. ¡°Wait, spare my life¡­¡± The remaining two people wanted to beg for mercy but were slapped to death by Su Hanhai who came out from backstage. The stench of blood filled the auction hall. Many people swallowed their saliva and did not dare to speak. ¡°If you want to snatch it, you¡¯d better consider your strength first.¡± Su Hanhai looked at the crowd. Although he appeared old, he could still intimidate the crowd. ¡°Elder Su, what are you saying? We are not those three villains¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Elder Su. We are only here to participate in the auction. Aren¡¯t we waiting for Manager Lin to fulfill what he said earlier¡­¡± Someone mustered up his courage and said, wanting Lin Mo to come out. Facing Su Hanhai, they really did not have the courage to speak loudly. Be it the previous Leader Bahu or the three assassins, each and every one of them was a powerful person. However, they were nothing in front of Su Hanhai. Moreover, from the exchange just now, this Lin Mo was not some soft persimmon. That puppet had at least the combat strength of tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm. Adding on to the fact that it did not feel any pain, it was probably able to fight against a tier 19 Dragon Transformation Realm. As for Lin Mo, there had long been rumors that he had mastered the complete Four Seasons Sword Technique, and that move just now had been confirmed. The final profound of the Four Seasons Sword Technique was the Spring and Autumn Exchange. It was incomparably profound and involved the laws of time. To be able to master it at such a young age, one could see just how talented he was. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. I have registered all those who participated in the auction. In the future, my Lin auction house will change the commission from 10% to 5%. It will be effective forever.¡± Lin Mo said. This was a huge profit, but he could not hesitate when it was time to give it up. ¡°I hope everyone can forgive me. I am in dire need of spiritual stones, which is why I came up with this plan. This incomplete map of the Ancient Flame Ruins can be considered as an apology.¡± After saying those words, Lin Mo opened up the map and floated it in the air, showing it to everyone. After doing all of this, Lin Mo turned around and left, leaving behind the crowd that was in a heated discussion. As for Su Hanhai, he was also observing the map, wanting to know what was going on in the Ancient Flame Ruins in advance. Everyone quieted down. The person who had just denounced Lin Mo for being a profiteer was now carefully observing the map. ¡°Is this map¡­ real or fake?¡± Mu Ming¡¯s eyes were ice-cold as he asked. In the private room, Mu Song and Mu Feng were silent, not daring to make a sound. At first, they thought that the Mu clan¡¯s business could be saved. Now, it seemed that they would still be suppressed by Lin Mo. ¡°Hmph, report this matter to the fourth prince and ask him to make a decision. I think that when the Ancient Flame Ruins appear, the royal family will also send people over¡­¡± Chapter 208 - Head to the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range ¡°I¡¯ll leave now,¡± Mu Ming said coldly. After memorizing the map of the Ancient Flame Ruins, he disappeared and left the auction house. The appearance of the incomplete map of the Ancient Flame Ruins attracted the attention of most people. Some people even lost their lives because of it. They wanted to sell the map to people who did not know about it, but they were killed in anger. Lin Mo did not care about this at all. At this moment, he once again entered the secret chamber and began his closed-door cultivation. As for Su Hanhai, Lin Mo gave him half of the map of the Ancient Flame Ruins. He also gave him a lot of spiritual pills as a token of gratitude. Regarding this, Su Hanhai was extremely excited. He bade farewell to Lin Mo and returned to the Su clan to prepare manpower. He was about to set off for the Ancient Flame Ruins. At this moment, in the secret chamber, Lin Mo took out the Origin Spirit Puppet and took out all the spiritual stones at the same time. 800 million spiritual stones. This figure was probably equivalent to the income of all the clans in Ancient Flame City for a month. ¡°Sigh, in order to raise your strength, I¡¯ve been called an unscrupulous merchant by many people¡­¡± Sighing, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and poured all the low-grade spiritual stones into the Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s dantian. In an instant, an extremely terrifying aura pervaded the air. If it was not for Lin Mo standing guard by the side, this energy would have rushed out of the secret chamber and destroyed the entire Lin auction house. ¡°800 million spiritual stones, I wonder how much I can improve it.¡± Lin Mo rubbed his hands and stood guard in front of the Origin Spirit Puppet, waiting for it to level up. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. In Ancient Flame City, the original prosperity was gone, and there were few people. Almost seventy percent of people went to the Ancient Flame Ruins. When Lin Mo came out of seclusion, only Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing were in the auction house. ¡°Master, Miss Bai Luo took Yan Rong and Miss Lin Die to the ruins, and went with the Su clan.¡± Duanmu Jia said. She and Miao Qing were weak, so they did not go there. ¡°So what if they go? What¡¯s the point of bringing Lil¡¯ Die?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Lil¡¯ Die had just broken through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, so her combat strength could not be of much help. Was she going to cause trouble? ¡°Master, Miss Bai Luo said that innate rare beasts have an innate ability. They have an extremely strong sense of danger and opportunity.¡± Duanmu Jia stepped forward and said. When Bai Luo wanted to bring Lin Die along, they did not agree. In the end, after Bai Luo¡¯s constant persuasion and Lin Die¡¯s own consent, they brought her along. ¡°It¡¯s really worrying¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. After giving a few instructions, he got up and left the auction house. He casually looked for someone to ask for directions. After confirming the direction, Lin Mo walked out of Ancient Flame City. He used Traceless Wind to fly all the way. On the way, he could occasionally see some people flying by. Just like him, they had arrived relatively late and were very interested in the Ancient Flame Ruins. The few of them nodded to each other before setting off towards the ancient flame ruins. The Thousand Rocks Mountain Range was extremely large, and it was the largest mountain range that Lin Mo had ever seen. The mountains were towering, and layers of rocks stood tall. Occasionally, there would be a huge beast roar that was extremely terrifying. After arriving here, Lin Mo felt as if he had returned to nature. ¡°No wonder so many people chose to become mercenaries and live in the boundless mountain range.¡± Lin Mo sighed. Living in such a primitive place had great benefits for cultivation. It was said that there were many demonic beasts in the mountain range, and their numbers even surpassed that of humans. Now, it seemed like what he said was true. Along the way, Lin Mo had met many powerful demonic beasts. However, these demonic beasts were hidden in the mountain range, and one could not see anything from their appearance. Only when one walked into the mountain range would they attack and treat one as prey. Only this boundless mountain range could bury the treasures of ancient times, only waiting for the fated person to come and open it. Lin Mo walked into the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range and the mountain range was now completely lively. He could faintly see some figures appearing and disappearing. Clearly, the appearance of the Ancient Flame Ruins had caused many people to come over. Seeing this scene, Lin Mo frowned slightly. So many people had come to a single Ancient Flame Ruins. Perhaps Lin Mo would not be afraid of a single expert. However, those sects and clans had to be on guard. Moreover, what made people even more worried was the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Spirit-grade treasures were something that even the imperial family would be moved by. Once they appeared, not to mention the Ancient Flame Ruins, even Ancient Flame City would become a river of blood. From Bai Luo¡¯s appearance, she should be very interested in that spirit-grade treasure. However, Lin Mo did not know what methods she had to use to obtain it. Lin Mo was also very curious about Bai Luo¡¯s identity. However, it was a pity that the other party was unwilling to reveal it, so there was nothing he could do. After walking through the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range for half a day, Lin Mo finally arrived at the entrance of Ancient Flame Ruins. ¡°I¡¯m finally here. wWere did Bai Luo take Yan Rong and Xiao Die?¡± Lin Mo frowned as he looked at the pedestrians everywhere. The people here were all very strong. Even though everyone could hide their aura, Lin Mo could still sense it with his soul power. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s look for the Su clan first.¡± Lin Mo was helpless and started to look for people to ask for information. ¡°You¡¯re looking for the Su clan of Ancient Flame City?¡± A passerby was a little curious. Could this be the Su clan¡¯s lost junior? ¡°Young friend, if you¡¯re looking for the Su clan, you have to go to the front. However, you¡¯d better contact them and send someone to pick you up,¡± someone kindly reminded him. In their eyes, Lin Mo was only a junior of the Su clan. If they rashly entered the deepest part of the city, someone might harm them. Without the protection of an elder, it would be difficult for a junior to survive here¡­ After thanking him, Lin Mo walked deeper into the mountain. Not long after, a tender voice sounded. ¡°Big brother¡­¡± He saw Lin Die standing on a mountain peak and waving at him. Yan Rong and Bai Luo were looking at him from the side. ¡°Eh, Yan Rong, are you injured?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Looking at Yan Rong¡¯s appearance, he was more or less in a sorry state. His face was covered with bruises, and his face was a little pale. He must have just fought with someone. ¡°Sigh¡­ This guy is really bad. He doesn¡¯t know how to run even if he can¡¯t win. If I didn¡¯t come in time, he would have been crippled,¡± Bai Luo said with a disappointed look. While Lin Mo was in closed-door cultivation, she even took the time to give Yan Rong some pointers on cultivation. Along with some cultivation resources, Yan Rong¡¯s strength improved very quickly, reaching tier 11 Dragon Transformation Realm. However, it was still not enough in the Thousand Rocks Mountain Range, and he was injured. ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Mo frowned and asked. ¡°Brother¡­¡± Lin Die tugged at Lin Mo¡¯s clothes and said apologetically with her small face. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I asked Brother Yan Rong to take me out for a walk. We met many people on the way, and it was very lively. However, when we were about to go back to look for Sister Bai Luo, we met a group of people who claimed to be disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect.¡± ¡°Battle Immortal Sect?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He was familiar with this sect. When he was in Lin City, those people whom he killed were disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect. He did not think too much about it before. Now, it seemed that the people of the Battle Immortal Sect knew that their people were killed by him¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right, Battle Immortal sect. Besides, there¡¯s a man named Lin Huaiyuan with them.¡± Bai Luo nodded as she looked at Lin Mo with a questioning look. ¡°How come it¡¯s him¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned. After Lin Huaiyuan and his son were dealt with by him, they were no longer a threat to him. They just hid from him. ¡®Why did Lin Huaiyuan start to cause trouble again? Why did he come here with the Battle Immortal Sect?¡¯ Chapter 209 - Killing Lin Huaiyuan ¡°Owner, the Battle Immortal Sect and the Qinghuai Holy Land are old enemies. In the past, I also killed a disciple of the Battle Immortal Sect, so I was recognized by others. Plus, Lin Huaiyuan added fuel to the fire, that¡¯s why we fought.¡± Yan Rong sighed when he mentioned the past¡­ Bai Luo frowned as she looked at Yan Rong and said, ¡°Well, now that this guy is here, do you still want to hide? Don¡¯t you want to take revenge?¡± When she arrived here before, she had planned to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and kill that villain Lin Huaiyuan. Unfortunately, Yan Rong said that Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Mo were related by blood, so they had to wait for Lin Mo to arrive. In desperation, she could only take Lin Die and Yan Rong away and wait for Lin Mo to arrive. ¡°You¡¯ve seen the people in the Lin family who treat me as their family. You don¡¯t have to endure it¡­¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while to settle the score. Take this spirit pill first and recover from your injuries.¡± Yan Rong took the spirit pill and sat cross-legged on the spot, starting to cultivate. The medicinal effect of this spirit pill was also extremely good. In less than half an hour, Yan Rong¡¯s injuries were completely healed. ¡°Among the people from the Battle Immortal Sect, how strong are they?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°The strongest one is a middle-aged man called Luda, tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm. I was seriously injured by him,¡± Yan Rong replied. ¡°Brother, are you going to take revenge?¡± Lin Die held Lin Mo¡¯s hand and asked. ¡°Your Brother Yan Rong was injured. I can¡¯t not take revenge,¡± Lin Mo¡¯s indifferent voice spread. His words were laced with killing intent, causing the passersby to feel a chill run down their spines. ¡°Brother, the person Brother Yan Rong mentioned isn¡¯t the strongest. There¡¯s someone even stronger hidden among them. He should be at tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± Lin Die reminded softly. Lin Die had already sensed the killing intent from the other party back then. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s go. Whoever dares to touch my men will have to pay the price,¡± Lin Mo said as he led the group deeper into the cave. Along the way, the murderous looks of the few of them caused quite a number of people to be shocked as they all stared at Lin Mo. After walking for a few thousand meters, they arrived at a huge mountain peak. When they stared at the mountain peak, they could see a huge gully in the distance. This could already be considered a core region. Only some powerful factions or those with extremely powerful strength could occupy this place. The other lone rangers or smaller family clans could only follow behind. Thus, although this was the core area, it was also quite chaotic. Many people wanted to enter the Ancient Flame Ruins as soon as possible. Therefore, it was common for people to fight to occupy a better camp. Lin Mo brought a few people and stood at the foot of the mountain peak. On the path up the mountain, they could see a flag with three large golden characters written on it. The flag fluttered in the wind, indicating that this was the territory of the Battle Immortal Sect, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. The two disciples in charge of guarding the place saw Lin Mo and the others and shouted sternly, ¡°This is the territory of the Battle Immortal Sect. Those who are not here, quickly retreat.¡± The corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth curled up into a cold smile as the Sword Qi in his hand condensed¡­ On the top of the mountain, there were four to five snow-white tents. Within the tents, faint sounds of laughter could be heard. ¡°Whoosh.¡± The tent was opened. A young man walked out of it with a smell of alcohol. The moment he appeared, two miserable shrieks could be heard from the bottom of the mountain. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The young man frowned. His slightly drunk eyes instantly became clear as he revealed a confused look. ¡°Senior Brother Huaiyuan, this is bad. Someone is here to cause trouble.¡± A cry for help could be heard from afar. However, the next moment, a miserable shriek was heard. The person who had just cried for help was directly thrown up and smashed a few tents. This made the disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect furious as their faces turned gloomy. ¡°Whoever dares to provoke our Battle Immortal Sect, cripple them.¡± An elder of the Battle Immortal Sect said angrily. However, the moment they made their move, they became silent after a few moves. A few figures slowly walked up the mountain. ¡°Who are you? How dare you behave atrociously in the territory of our Battle Immortal Sect? Are you¡­?¡± Lin Huaiyuan said in a deep voice as he looked at the person who walked up. ¡°Lin Huaiyuan, I wanted to spare your life. However, since you insist on seeking death, you can¡¯t blame me¡­¡± Before Lin Huaiyuan finished his words, a light laughter was heard. However, this laughter was mixed with endless killing intent, which made Lin Huaiyuan shudder. Finally, under the gaze of Lin Huaiyuan, Lin Mo and the others walked up and stood on the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, Lin Huaiyuan fixed his eyes on Lin Mo. . ¡°Lin Mo¡­¡± As he recalled the unpleasant memories, Lin Huaiyuan¡¯s face instantly turned gloomy. He had come from the Battle Immortal Sect in a glorious way and returned to his hometown. He had thought that he could get an important position in the Lin family and give face to his father. However, he had not imagined that his return this time had become the nightmare of his life. Although he tried his best, he could not defeat Lin Mo. instead, he suffered a great loss. What was more terrifying was that his senior brothers and junior brothers were all killed¡­ ¡°Junior Brother Huaiyuan, what¡¯s going on? The elders are drinking. Don¡¯t ruin their mood.¡± The tent behind Lin Huaiyuan was opened. Three more people walked out and said with a frown. ¡°Fine, let¡¯s attack together. Leave Lin Mo to me¡­¡± Lin Huaiyuan said with a ferocious look. He hated Lin Mo to the bone. As soon as he finished his words, Lin Huaiyuan rushed forward. When Lin Huaiyuan rushed forward, his Qi burst out, releasing the Qi of the tier 13 Dragon Transformation Realm. His strength had been greatly improved. It seemed that he had gained a lot of opportunities recently. Lin Mo smiled faintly as he stretched out his hand. A tier 9 long sword, Plain White Snow appeared, releasing a sharp Sword Qi. With a light wave, Lin Huaiyuan was shocked as he dodged to the side. However, he had just dodged when he heard the sound of wind. Lin Mo appeared like a ghost. A shocking spiritual Qi was gathering on the blade of his Plain White Snow. ¡°Cloud-breaking Sword Qi.¡± The fury on Lin Huaiyuan¡¯s face had long turned into fear. Lin Mo¡¯s speed was faster than common sense. Although he was one tier higher than Lin Mo, he was suppressed at this moment. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to kill you at first, but¡­ you brought this on yourself,¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. ThePlain White Snow landed on Lin Huaiyuan¡¯s left shoulder. The blade of the sword moved violently as it chopped down and killed him. ¡°Tsk, the Battle Immortal Sect is so weak.¡± On the other side, Yan Rong and Bai Luo also finished the battle. The three disciples of the Battle Immortal Sect were also dealt with. However, Bai Luo and Yan Rong did not kill the. Instead, they just captured the three disciples. ¡°Are the people of the Battle Immortal Sect still in the mood to drink after seeing their own disciples being killed?¡± Lin Mo wiped off the blood stains on the Plain White Snow and slashed a Sword Qi towards the tent in front of him. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The Sword Qi was like a rainbow. The snow-white tent had no defensive power and was cut into pieces. Meanwhile, the elder of the Battle Immortal Sect who was drinking in the tent was also exposed in front of everyone. ¡°Junior, how dare you¡­¡± Chapter 210 - The Ruins Open The people inside flew into a rage on the spot, especially when they saw that Lin Mo only had the strength of tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm. The anger on their faces grew even more. ¡°So it¡¯s a junior like you. Did you find your master and come back to look for trouble?¡± A middle-aged man looked at Yan Rong and sneered. He looked at Lin Mo and spoke with disdain. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that your master seems to only have the strength of a tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm. It¡¯s not too good¡­¡± ¡°Elder Luda, did you forget that this kid called Lin Mo has a puppet¡­¡± Some people around teased him, knowing Lin Mo¡¯s background. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet. How can it overturn the sky?¡± Luda sneered. His figure flashed and appeared in front of Lin Mo. Vigorous energy circulated, intending to teach Lin Mo a lesson first. Although this Lin Mo was related to the Su clan, he was the one who came looking for trouble first. ¡°Origin Spirit Puppet, come out.¡± Lin Mo sneered, releasing the Origin Spirit Puppet as a powerful aura spread out. After absorbing so many spiritual stones, Lin Mo could no longer see the current level of the Origin Spirit Puppet. Moreover, he had only absorbed half of the spiritual stones, and the rest were still being absorbed. However, with the puppet¡¯s current combat strength, it should be more than enough to deal with a tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm expert. ¡°What?¡± Luda was shocked, and his palm slapped onto the puppet, but it did not have any effect at all. On the other hand, the puppet raised its hand, and with just a single palm strike, it heavily injured him. Luda¡¯s body flew backward, leaving a deep ravine on the ground. He coughed out a mouthful of blood and was actually heavily injured. ¡°A tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet?¡± In the Battle Immortal Sect, an old man stood out and helped Luda up from the deep pit with a solemn expression. However, the Origin Spirit Puppet did not think so. After a strike, the puppet appeared in front of the two like a ghost, and a snow-white longsword appeared in its hand. It was a tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet, and it held a tier 9 longsword, Plain White Snow. The old man pulled Luda over and threw him to the Battle Immortal Sect disciple behind him. His hands emitted golden light, and he used his bare hands to receive Plain White Snow. ¡°Bang!¡± The sword light flashed, and the old man was sent flying, spitting out blood. The Origin Spirit Puppet only took four or five steps back. After the exchange of blows, the victor was immediately determined. ¡°Elder Yuanhai, are you alright?¡± The Battle Immortal Sect disciples asked anxiously. Their faces were filled with shock. They did not expect that even Elder Yuanhai, who was at tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm, was not a match for it. Toward this, Yuanhai could only smile wryly. He did not expect that after cultivating for half his life, he would actually be caught up by a puppet. The rumor was that Lin Mo¡¯s puppet only had the battle prowess of tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm, right? ¡°Could it be¡­ those spiritual stones?¡± Yuanhai was stunned as he discovered the problem. Although he was guarding the entrance of the Ancient Flame Ruins, news of Ancient Flame City had spread quite a bit. Lin Mo had smashed his own reputation and auctioned off precious spirit pills at a high price just to exchange for a large amount of spiritual stones. ¡°So that¡¯s the case. The real reason why Manager Lin is a profiteer is here¡­¡± ¡°I see. A tier 22 Dragon Transformation Realm puppet is worth doing this¡­¡± The people on the distant mountaintop spoke one after another. They finally understood why Lin Mo was a profiteer. ¡°Elder Yuanhai, I wonder how you should deal with the matter of you hurting my friend previously?¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked the Origin Spirit Puppet to stop. He wanted to kill everyone in the Battle Immortal Sect. However, he might not be able to keep this Yuanhai. If he went to Ancient Flame City in a rage and implicated the Lin auction house, he would be in trouble. Lin Mo might even delay the best time to enter the ruins. ¡°Lin Mo, we¡¯ve lost this time. How about we just let it go?¡± Yuanhai gritted his teeth. ¡°Just let it go?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. It was impossible for him and the Battle Immortal Sect to be on good terms with each other now. After all, he had already killed many disciples of the Battle Immortal sect. He even killed Lin Huaiyuan and injured two elders in public. ¡°What do you want?¡± Yuanhai asked. Hearing that, Lin Mo revealed a smile as he said, ¡°Simple. You represent your Battle Immortal Sect and apologize to Yan Rong. This will prove your sincerity.¡± ¡°So ruthless¡­¡± When everyone heard this, they subconsciously said. Asking Yuanhai to apologize on behalf of the Battle Immortal sect was simply a blatant slap to the face of the Battle Immortal Sect. Moreover, once Yuanhai really did this, the sect master and elders of the Battle Immortal Sect would probably punish him as well. Killing one¡¯s heart. This Lin Mo was really ruthless. ¡°Quick, look. There¡¯s a fluctuation in space. The entrance is open. You can enter now.¡± A cry of surprise sounded, and everyone was overjoyed. The people who had been watching the commotion on the distant mountain peak all left, rushing toward the entrance of the Ancient Flame Ruins. Even Lin Mo was stunned. He was still fighting with others, how did the ruins open. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t mind these things for now, hurry up and leave.¡± Bai Luo urged from the side. If they did not go in now, some of the treasures they wanted would be taken by someone else. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll let you guys off.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He originally wanted to extort some spiritual stones from the Battle Immortal sect. After all, he did not have a single spirit stone left. ¡°What a huge formation. This Thousand Rocks Mountain Range should be able to accommodate over a hundred thousand people¡­¡± Seeing the crowd swarming over and jumping into the spatial rift one by one, Lin Mo sighed. ¡°It¡¯s nothing strange. When you leave the Yanhuang Divine Empire or even the Eastern continent, you¡¯ll realize that the world you¡¯re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg,¡± Bai Luo said indifferently. Lin Mo was noncommittal about this. However, he was not conspicuous in the Yanhuang Divine Emire at the moment. If he had not cooperated with Jiang Xiyue once, he would not even be able to do anything. ¡°Master, we have to be careful when we go in later. These kinds of dilapidated ruins is full of dangers. If we¡¯re not careful, we¡¯ll die,¡± Yan Rong reminded. ¡°Okay, just take care of Lil¡¯ Die.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Although he had a complete map of the Ancient Flame Ruins, the real danger in the ruins usually came from the outside. The people who entered the ruins were the biggest danger. The few of them came to the entrance of the spatial crack and leaped into it. On the vast and boundless land, there was silence. A feeling of vicissitudes of life washed over them. The entire space seemed rather quiet. They did not know how long this state had lasted, but it was broken today. Waves of spatial fluctuations spread out as countless figures were sent in. Lin Mo and the others appeared in this space and landed steadily. They were slightly shocked as they looked at the boundless world around them. The person who constructed the Ancient Flame Ruins was extremely skilled. His strength had probably surpassed the Nirvana Realm¡­ Standing on a small hill, Lin Mo looked at the scattered people around him as he recalled the map of the Ancient Flame Ruins in his mind. ¡°We are now at the outermost area of the ruins. It was originally the place where this sect raised demonic beasts. However, so many years have passed. I don¡¯t know if there are still any demonic beasts left.¡± Chapter 211 - Golden Mountain After looking at the map, Lin Mo said that. However, this place was filled with spiritual Qi and was very suitable for cultivation. It was likely that those demonic beasts had left behind descendants. Furthermore, due to the abundant spiritual Qi, the demonic beasts here should be growing very quickly. ¡°In the center of the mountain range, there is a lake of life with a tier 9 demonic beast egg inside.¡± The map said so, but at the periphery of the lake of life, there were four demonic beast puppets guarding it. It would not be so easy to obtain it. ¡°Be careful. There is a repulsive smell in this space¡­¡± Bai Luo frowned. She did not know why she had such a feeling. ¡°Big brother, there is the smell of a large number of spirit herbs in the valley ahead.¡± At this moment, Lin Die suddenly said. Ahead of them, she sensed a different aura. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo made a prompt decision and led everyone forward. The spirit herbs here were good stuff. If they obtained them, they would be auctioned off. Once they obtained the spiritual stones, they would also obtain even better spirit herbs. ¡°Damn it, the Fire Spirit Sect is really something. They¡¯ve taken over a spirit herb valley¡­¡± They had just arrived at the entrance of the valley when they heard someone complaining in front of them. They were extremely unwilling. ¡°That¡¯s right. Moreover, I don¡¯t know if they will burn the bridge after crossing the river¡­¡± When Lin Mo and the others arrived behind these people, these people immediately shut up and did not say anything else. ¡°Fellow cultivators, I wonder what happened in front. Can you help us resolve our doubts?¡± Lin Mo asked. The strength of these people was not very high. The strongest one was only at tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm. In these historical remains, they would probably only be able to remain at the outer perimeter. ¡°This is too much. Up ahead is a medicinal valley, and there are many spirit herbs,¡± a person said unwillingly. ¡°Yeah, we were clearly the first to arrive, but in the end, we were chased out by the Fire Spirit Sect¡­¡± These people were helpless. The Fire Spirit Sect elder¡¯s strength was at tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm, and he was extremely powerful. They had no choice but to leave resentfully. ¡°What should we do?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°What else can we do? We should just snatch it. Isn¡¯t it common for people to take advantage of others in the ruins? Since the Fire Spirit Sect can snatch from the others, they naturally have to be prepared to be snatched.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and walked forward. This place was marked on the map, and there were many spirit herbs inside. If they encountered it, they could not miss it. Just as they reached the entrance of the valley, an arrow with flames shot toward them. ¡°Boom!¡± The arrow landed in front of Lin Mo and exploded. The flames spread and burned the entire area, leaving nothing behind. Lin Mo raised his head and saw a young man with a demonic appearance standing in front of him. He held a red longbow and looked at Lin Mo and the others with a faint smile. ¡°Leave quickly. Otherwise, the next arrow might take your lives.¡± Behind him, a few other young men and women walked out. They held red longbows in their hands and their strength was generally above tier 5 Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°How overbearing¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. ¡°Cut the crap. We are disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect. If you don¡¯t want to die, then get lost.¡± The young man who had just attacked drew his bow and nocked an arrow. He did not put Lin Mo and the others in his eyes at all. Lin Mo licked his lips. Killing intent appeared in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The young man looked at Lin Mo. The hand holding the longbow trembled for no reason, and he felt a chill on his back. However, this feeling quickly disappeared, making him think that it was just an illusion. ¡°Li Fang, let them in.¡± An old voice sounded. An old man walked out from the entrance of the valley. The old man¡¯s eyes were indifferent as he casually swept his gaze over Lin Mo and the others. However, when he saw Lin Die, his eyes were filled with astonishment. A young lady of such an age was actually at tier 1 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­ ¡°Elder, why?¡± The young man was stunned as he hurriedly asked. The old man said something in a low voice, but his voice was too soft and only those few people could hear him. After he finished speaking, the few young men faintly smiled. They looked at Lin Mo and the others with a gaze filled with pity. ¡°Come over. You are allowed to pick the spirit herbs inside.¡± The old man looked at Lin Mo and the others and said with a calm expression. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They did not understand what had happened. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Lin Mo smiled. His interest was piqued. At the same time, another middle-aged man walked out of the valley. His body was emitting a powerful aura. A tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm was probably the strongest existence in this group of people. What surprised Lin Mo was that this person had injuries on his body, and they were new injuries. ¡­ The scenery in the valley was very beautiful, and the spiritual Qi was extremely abundant. Every blade of grass and tree within it carried spirituality. However, the only drawback was that all the spirit herbs were in the middle of the valley. A large array stood in a forest, connecting the surrounding mountains. The interior of the valley was very wide, and there were some dilapidated halls. Without exception, these halls had lost their spirituality. However, the most shocking thing was that there were four medicinal fields in the center of the array that were glowing with spirituality. Dense spirit herbs were planted inside. As for the center, a mountain made of gold appeared and was emitting a sacred radiance. On the golden mountain, there were also many spirit herbs planted. As long as the spirit herbs grew on it, they would all give off a layer of golden light. It was very mysterious. ¡°What a treasure land.¡± Even Bai Luo could not help but praise. This place was really too good. ¡°Look at the top. That¡¯s a lightning-struck wood.¡± Lin Mo pointed at the top of the mountain of gold and said. On the top of the mountain of gold, a withered tree was lying there. However, to be able to grow on the mountain of gold, nothing was ordinary. This tree was still growing on the top. It was even more sacred. That tree was incomparably thick, but its entire body was charred black, and there were even streaks of lightning flickering faintly on it. Yan Rong¡¯s eyes were wide open. Just this place was comparable to the medicinal fields of the Qinghuai Holy Land. Moreover, this was only the periphery of the ruins¡­ However, there was no way to pluck it. A large array blotted out the sky and covered the sun, enveloping the mountain of gold. ¡°Did you see that? This golden mountain is extremely huge. The treasures inside are enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your lives,¡± the old man behind Lin Mo said. ¡°All of you should make some preparations before exploring this place. Let¡¯s share this fortune together,¡± the old man said calmly. Meanwhile, Lin Mo and the others also knew what this old man wanted to do. No wonder he was so kind to let them in. It turned out that he wanted to pull some scapegoats to help them release the huge array protecting the golden mountain¡­ Soon, some movements came from outside the valley. A few more people were brought in by the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect. ¡°Again? Little friends, come with us to explore this great array,¡± the old man said indifferently. Those who understood the situation secretly gritted their teeth and cursed the old man more than ten times in their hearts. ¡°Senior, this great array is not something we can explore. It¡¯s better to forget it,¡± someone said while cupping his fists. ¡°It¡¯s fine. With this old man here, I¡¯ll ensure your safety,¡± an elder from the Fire Spirit Sect said. Lin Mo and the others frowned. This Fire Spirit Sect really was not something to be trifled with¡­ ¡°How unsightly¡­¡± Bai Luo curled her lips. These people from the Fire Spirit Sect were really unscrupulous when it came to achieving their goals¡­ Chapter 212 - Spatial Treasure Box ¡°This is a great fortune. Our Fire Spirit Sect is willing to share it with all of you. Why aren¡¯t you thanking us?¡± The elder continued. Everyone fell silent. Lin Mo was no exception. The Fire Spirit Sect was truly shameless to the extreme. ¡°Hey, when do we make our move?¡± Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo. She realized that Lin Mo had no intention of making a move at all. Instead, he was staring at the great array in front of him. She rolled her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re not a spirit array master. How can you break the array?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a spatial treasure box¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a frown. He looked at the golden mountain in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt that it was different. ¡°What did you say?¡± Bai Luo was puzzled. Yan Rong also looked at Lin Mo with a blank expression. He did not understand what Lin Mo was saying. Of course, these two people would not understand, and even Lin Mo was a little unwilling to believe it. Back in Lin City, he had obtained a super big gift pack from the system for auctioning high-quality spatial rings. In it, he had obtained the soul-devouring art, which cultivated the soul. This was also the reason why his soul power was astonishing. At the same time, there was also the inheritance of a master blacksmith in the gift pack. After that, Lin Mo occasionally received some spatial item blueprints during his auctions. The blueprints recorded how to create spatial items and their uses. However, because Lin Mo¡¯s current level was a little low, he could not understand these blueprints at all. Not to mention creating them, he could only put them aside. However, when he was bored in the past, he had once browsed through the various uses of spatial items. One of them shocked Lin Mo. It was a type of spatial treasure box. Treasures were hidden within it and were sealed with a unique technique and power. Once it was locked, only the same source of power and technique would be able to open it. Furthermore, this type of spatial treasure box had another function, and that was to be able to be split into several pieces. Only when it was completely fused together could one attempt to open the treasure box. If it was just a fragment, then other than being hard, the treasure box would be useless. However, the blueprint stated that when the spatial treasure box was separated for a long period of time, it would emit a special fluctuation. Unless the creator or someone who had seen the blueprint, they would not be able to sense it. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, this array isn¡¯t protecting the golden mountain, but a fragment of a spatial treasure box¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. His words shocked Bai Luo, and she looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. ¡°You actually know about a spatial treasure box? There might not be such a treasure in the entire eastern continent¡­¡± Bai Luo muttered. She felt that Lin Mo had become mysterious again¡­ ¡°Hey, what are you two whispering about? Hurry up and go test the array,¡± a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect shouted loudly. When he saw Lin Mo and Bai Luo talking, he walked over unhappily. At this moment, Lin Mo finally reacted and looked ahead. He saw that the place was already in a mess. In front of the array, the people that the Fire Spirit Sect had captured had already died quickly. Even an elder of the Fire Spirit Sect was heavily injured. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do it. We can¡¯t let the news here leak out,¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. ¡°Do you want to fight? Are you courting death?¡± The Fire Spirit Sect disciples were very decisive. After hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, they directly attacked Lin Mo. In their opinion, since they were all captured, how strong could they be? The four Fire Spirit Sect disciples attacked, locking Lin Mo¡¯s path of retreat. However, to their surprise, Lin Mo did not dodge at all. He watched as they attacked, and with his fingers as swords, he consecutively tapped four times. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The four disciples were sent flying at the same time. Their left arm was cut off by the sharp Sword Qi, and the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. ¡°What?¡± Everyone turned pale with fright. They simply could not believe their eyes. This guy was a nobody who could be easily bullied, right? How could he be so strong? Although his aura was of tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm, it was so terrifying¡­ Moreover, he was actually able to deceive a tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm elder, and no one noticed¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s figure was like the wind as he arrived in front of the four and once again used his sword finger to kill the four disciples. His methods were quick and without any hesitation, the four disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect died just like that. ¡°Zhao Feng, hurry up and attack. Only you can deal with him.¡± The injured elder shouted and asked the other elder to attack. Boom! Lin Mo took out his Plain White Snow and the tip of his sword flashed with lightning. The next instant, the Spring Thunder Sword Technique started to change¡­ ¡°Spring and Autumn Exchange.¡± A powerful Sword Qi exploded and the ultimate move of a tier 9 sword art was extremely powerful. Just one attack was enough to push back a tier 15 Dragon Transformation Realm expert. Boom! The elder of the Fire Spirit Sect spat out a mouthful of blood. There was a ferocious sword scar on his chest. If Lin Mo had used a little more strength, this sword might have torn his body apart¡­ When Lin Mo made his move, Yan Rong had covered Lin Die¡¯s eyes in time. At the same time, Bai Luo¡¯s figure disappeared like a ghost. When she reappeared, she was already in front of the injured elder. A bright silver spear appeared in her hand. The spear technique she used was the Great Luo Spear Technique that she had obtained from the auction house. The spear pierced through the elder¡¯s chest without any effort. After killing the elder, Lin Mo looked to the other side. It was the young man who had threatened him with the long bow from the start. ¡°You seem to be called¡­ Li Fang, right?¡± Lin Mo said calmly. He walked towards Li Fang. When he passed by, he had killed quite a number of Fire Spirit Sect disciples. His Plain White Snow was stained with blood. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t kill me.¡± Li Fang shouted loudly, his heart filled with endless regret. If he had known that Lin Mo was so strong, he would not have provoked him no matter what. ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t kill you just because you say so?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He glanced at the previously arrogant Fire Spirit Sect disciples, his eyes filled with disdain. Soon, Bai Luo¡¯s figure swept past them and all the disciples were turned into corpses. Li Fang was scared out of his wits when he saw this scene. He gritted his teeth and turned around to run toward the exit of the valley. However, it was futile. A Sword Qi caught up to him and killed him. At this point, all the disciples of the Fire Spirit Sect were killed. Besides Lin Mo and the others, no one else survived in the valley. After cleaning up the mess with Bai Luo, Yan Rong walked over with Lin Die, who had a curious expression on her face. At the same time, Lin Die was also very displeased. She glared at Yan Rong and said, ¡°Brother Yan Rong, Lil¡¯ Die is not a child. I know what Sister Bai Luo and brother have done.¡± She was very displeased. These three people all treated her like a child and did not even allow her to watch the battle¡­ ¡°The scene is too bloody. It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t watch¡­¡± Yan Rong smiled and rubbed Lin Die¡¯s small head. Lin Mo and Bai Luo came to the front of the array and frowned. ¡°According to what you said, the array is protecting the fragments of the spatial treasure box?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be wrong. The question now is, how do we get in?¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He did not know much about arrays. After all, he was not a spirit array master¡­ ¡°About that, leave it to me. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll make some preparations.¡± Bai Luo smiled and made Lin Mo and the others retreat. She took out a white jade array plate from her spatial ring with a reluctant look on her face¡­ ¡°For the sake of the spatial treasure box, I¡¯ll go all out¡­¡± Chapter 213 - Unicorn Finally, Bai Luo raised his hand, and runes appeared on the jade plate in her hand. It flew high up into the sky, and the light it emitted enveloped the entire array. Lin Mo was extremely surprised. He had not expected Bai Luo to have such a treasure on her. After the light continued for a period of time, the array in front of them began to change, and a hole was actually opened. ¡°Time is limited. Let¡¯s go quickly,¡± Bai Luo urged. Everyone walked into the array. Around the golden mountain, there were some medicinal fields that were planted with many spirit herbs. However, just as they walked in, the golden mountain that was emitting a brilliant light disappeared. In the center, a palm-sized stone floated in the air. ¡°What? There are so many spirit herbs on the mountain. Half of them are at tier 9, but they¡¯re actually fake¡­¡± Bai Luo said indignantly. She had paid such a huge price to obtain only half of the spatial treasure box¡­ Yes, it was only half. They did not get all of it. Only half of the stone was floating there. It was as if someone had used external force to break it. To be able to break the spatial treasure box, one could see how powerful this person was. Yan Rong brought Lin Die to pick all the spirit herbs in the surrounding medicinal fields, while Lin Mo and Bai Luo came to the center. ¡°This time, you put in more effort. I¡¯ll give you this spatial treasure box¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and said. If it was not for Bai Luo using an array to break the great formation, they probably would not have been able to enter. Therefore, the most precious spatial treasure box was still given to Bai Luo. ¡°I don¡¯t want it. This thing is useless to me¡­¡± Unexpectedly, Bai Luo directly shook her head and rejected Lin Mo¡¯s request. Looking at Lin Mo¡¯s puzzled expression, Bai Luo explained, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want it, but for this spatial treasure box to appear here, it means that the other half shouldn¡¯t be too far away.¡± ¡°However, who knows if the spatial treasure box will be in the ruins.¡± ¡°And I won¡¯t be staying here for long. I reckon that after the Ancient Flame Ruins exploration is over, I¡¯ll be leaving the Eastern Continent.¡± Bai Luo sighed after she finished speaking, ¡°I¡¯m very happy to meet you. I think you¡¯re very reliable. I¡¯ve suffered a loss this time, but you can compensate me next time.¡± She threw the spatial treasure box fragment to Lin Mo and turned around to split the spirit medicine with Yan Rong. Lin Mo thought about this carefully and could only shake his head helplessly. That was indeed the case. if Bai Luo had brought the spatial treasure box away from the Eastern Continent,the treasures inside would probably never reappear. The best choice would be for Lin Mo to accept it and wait for the right opportunity to encounter the other half of the spatial treasure box. Rumble! The array cracked, and massive energy fluctuations spread out. The array was originally meant to protect the spatial treasure box, but now that the treasure box had been taken away, the array began to disintegrate. In just a short moment, the array collapsed, creating a huge commotion, and causing the entire valley to crack open. ¡°Eh, this is?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Deep within the cracked ground, he discovered a large number of white bones. These white bones were emitting a lustrous glow. They were extremely huge, and after they were revealed, the glow became even more resplendent. ¡°Horse? That¡¯s not right, it¡¯s a unicorn.¡± Bai Luo was shocked. There were so many white bones, and in the end, they formed a unicorn. A lustrous white glow flickered, and the unicorn stood there with a majestic aura. The only flaw was that the lower half of the Unicorn¡¯s bones might have been eroded over time, making it difficult for it to maintain its holiness. Gradually, it was eroded away, and the light was no longer there. However, from the aura emanating from the white bones, it could be seen that the unicorn¡¯s cultivation level must be frighteningly high. ¡°No wonder there¡¯s so much spiritual Qi here. Even the people of Ancient Flame City have turned this place into a medicinal field. It turns out that a unicorn has been buried here.¡± Lin Mo nodded. This was indeed very shocking. Since ancient times, the unicorn had always been the symbol of good fortune and was incomparably sacred. Of course, under its auspicious appearance, there was also an incomparably powerful strength. On its forehead, there was a single horn that was as white as jade. The joint between the horn and its bones was sparkling and translucent, giving off a resplendent multicolored light. Just from looking at it, it gave off the feeling of a myriad of beasts submitting to it. However, this unicorn was not pure. It should have evolved from a horse-type demonic beast. This was due to the fact that only the first half of its body was as bright as jade, while the second half of its body had no shine. ¡°Impressive.¡± Bai Luo praised. To be able to evolve into a unicorn, it must have its own abilities. It was just that she did not know if there were any inheritances left behind. ¡°Some demonic beasts can evolve continuously, allowing their bloodlines to reach an extremely pure level. It¡¯s a pity that even if there¡¯s a bloodline left behind, I¡¯m afraid it will be completely depleted¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. It was truly a pity that such a good thing would dissipate with the passage of time. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not dwell on it. Let¡¯s leave quickly. Isn¡¯t your auction warehouse in need of new treasures? Hurry up and find the treasure.¡± Bai Luo and Yan Rong divided the spirit herbs and ran over. ¡°Master, this is ours.¡± Yan Rong handed over a cloth bag and said respectfully. Lin Mo opened it and nodded his head in satisfaction. There were many good things in here. The most precious thing was a stalk of high-grade tier 8 Blood Jade Ganoderma, which could be bought for 70,000 to 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones. When the time came, he would be able to get a stalk of tier 9 spirit herb as long as he was not unlucky. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go and find the treasure.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly and prepared to leave. Suddenly, he and Bai Luo turned their heads at the same time and felt a special aura. The multicolored light emitted from the unicorn¡¯s white bones became increasingly intense and seemed to be on the verge of exploding. ¡°Run quickly.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He picked up Lin Die and beckoned for Yan Rong to retreat. At this moment, a hazy will appeared from the motionless white bones and began to command the multicolored light around them. Yan Rong had rich combat experience. After receiving the reminder, he immediately fled. Lin Mo and Bai Luo also fled for their lives. One had to know that this was an existence that had half of its body evolved into a unicorn. One could imagine how terrifying it was. If the multicolored light erupted, it would be impossible for them to block it. However, what surprised everyone was that the light transformed into sharp arrows and shot out toward Lin Mo. ¡°Damn it, why are you targetinging me?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He passed Lin Die to Yan Rong beside him and summoned his puppet. Perhaps it was because he had taken the spatial treasure box that he became the target. ¡°Boom!¡± In almost an instant, the ground behind Lin Mo exploded. The arrows formed by the rays of light exploded, creating a 100-meter-deep hole in the ground. Lin Mo turned around and discovered that the horn on the unicorn¡¯s forehead was emitting a special wave of energy, directing the energy around it. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years, yet its obsession still persists. How terrifying.¡± Lin Mo sighed. However, he did not dare to be negligent. He placed the summoned puppet behind him, ready to face the incoming attacks at any time. However, the power of time was not something that could be easily blocked. This skeleton had been in a deep slumber for countless years. Now, it had been awakened by the life force in its body. Although it had launched a terrifying attack, it was only a flash. Lin Mo and the others had escaped far enough, while the single horn on the unicorn¡¯s forehead had dimmed. In the end, that wisp of consciousness dissipated, completely disappearing into this world¡­ Chapter 214 - Spirit Bai Luo and Lin Mo looked at each other. The two of them called Yan Rong and flew toward the unicorn¡¯s skeleton. There was nothing they could do. The unicorn¡¯s rampage just now had caused too much of a ruckus. It would not be long before someone would arrive. If they did not want to be discovered, they had to hurry. The four of them once again arrived at the cracked valley. The unicorns below were still standing tall, radiating a boundless multicolored light. The only difference was that they did not have any consciousness to control them. ¡°This entire upper body is a treasure¡­¡± Bai Luo was extremely shocked, but she quickly fell silent, feeling extremely helpless¡­ ¡°I¡¯m so angry. If I knew this would happen, I would have brought more treasures. Our spatial rings are too low-grade, we can¡¯t take them away¡­¡± Lin Mo gave it a try. He did not move the entire skeleton but instead found some broken bones, wanting to take them away. Spatial energy spread out, and the broken bones started to fluctuate. ¡°Crack.¡± A crisp sound rang out. The energy within the broken bones was too dense, and they could not take them away¡­ ¡°We¡¯ve already come this far, and they can¡¯t take them away?¡± Lin Mo was extremely unwilling, and he was almost killed by the unicorn¡¯s consciousness. In the end, he could only stare at this treasure¡­ ¡°Mine is useless too, I need at least a spirit-grade spatial ring¡­¡± Bai Luo was helpless. From the looks of it, they could only give up. ¡°This is really¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely unwilling. As long as he auctioned off a bone fragment, he would be able to make a huge profit¡­ ¡°Oh right, the system space¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled that other than the spatial ring, he also had the system space. As long as he could put it in there, he would be able to know what kind of treasure it was. However, Lin Mo did not know if the system space would be able to keep these bone fragments. He took this broken bone and tried it again. ¡°Buzz.¡± [ The White Unicorn Horse has awakened part of its unicorn bloodline. Its bones contain extremely rich heaven and earth energy. It can be used as medicine or directly consumed. ] [ Grade evaluation: Spirit-grade tier 7. ] ¡°Haha, I succeeded¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. As expected of the system space, it could even accept spirit-grade treasures. ¡°How is this possible? How did you do it?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. This bone fragment was even denser than some low-grade spirit-grade treasures. This was also the reason why the spatial ring was unable to take it away. Now, Lin Mo was actually able to take a piece. This would be a huge profit, right? ¡°Let¡¯s try again. Can we take all of it?¡± Bai Luo urged. If they really took all of them, they could even directly return home¡­ With such a large skeleton, it was estimated that they could be heaven-grade treasure. What else did they need other fortuitous encounters for? ¡°I¡¯ll try again.¡± Lin Mo licked his lips. He did not know if the system space could take away such a large skeleton¡­ [ Collection failed. The system space is insufficient. Please expand the system space. ] The moment he tried, the system¡¯s voice rang out, informing Lin Mo that the collection had failed. ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t take all of them. There¡¯s not enough space¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. In the end, he tried to collect them again. After collecting a total of five bone fragments, the system notified him that the space was full. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. I can only take five pieces¡­¡± Lin Mo said. However, he was still satisfied. The value of this item was simply too high. However, there was no way to take away the most valuable single horn. Lin Mo gave it a try and realized that it was probably a heaven-grade treasure. ¡°Hey, you¡¯ve already taken five pieces. It¡¯s not too much to give me two pieces, right?¡± Bai Luo said. Although she had an extraordinary background, this unicorn¡¯s bone fragment was also a rare treasure, and she did not want to miss it. ¡°Naturally, there¡¯s no problem. Furthermore, if you can buy it by auction, I can even give you a discount. I¡¯ll sell all five pieces to you¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. These bone fragments were spirit-grade treasures. With his current strength, he did not dare to sell it. Once he sold it, the entire Eastern Continent would probably be shaken. At that time, not only the Yanhuang Divine Empire, but the four divine empires and the nine great holy lands of the Eastern Continent would all want to kill him. Rather than that, he might as well sell it cheaply to Bai Luo. As long as he followed the auction procedure, the system would be able to give him a better return. ¡°Sell all five pieces?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s eyes lit up. Lin Mo was actually willing to sell all of such a good item? ¡°Are you sure? The energy contained within the unicorn¡¯s broken bones is the purest heaven and earth energy. It¡¯s extremely rare,¡± Bai Luo said. At this moment, they had just left when the distant valley shook once again. The entire unicorn¡¯s skeleton collapsed and sank to the ground. This place started to collapse and dust flew everywhere. Soon, the entire place was buried. As for the skeleton of the unicorn, it was buried deep underground and could no longer be found. ¡°What a pity. I was still thinking of taking the unicorn away in a few days¡­¡± Bai Luo sighed. Some of her tricks needed time to be executed, and she was lacking in materials. ¡°Now you understand. This bone fragment is a rare precious treasure. Are you still willing to sell it to me?¡± Bai Luo asked. She expressed that if Lin Mo was willing to sell it, she could guarantee that Lin Mo would not suffer too much losses, but Lin Mo would not earn too much¡­ ¡°Aren¡¯t we friends now? Even if we suffer a little, it¡¯s fine. Deal.¡± Lin Mo agreed without even thinking. Hearing this, Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo and revealed a sweet smile. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± She walked forward and a clear voice sounded, ¡°I can¡¯t take those bone fragments away now. I¡¯ll leave them with you first. We¡¯ll exchange them in a few days.¡± The few of them sped away from this place. ¡°What a great fortune. However, this also shows that the level of the Ancient Flame Ruins is beyond our imagination. We must be very careful,¡± Bai Luo said. As soon as she finished speaking, an earth-shattering roar sounded from ahead. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The towering ancient tree that was a thousand meters tall shook violently and countless leaves fell. ¡°That is?¡± Lin Mo raised his head. At the end of his line of sight, there was a gigantic black bear. Its entire body was covered in thick fur as it pounded on the ground in front of it, letting out a deafening roar. This was a gigantic bear at the level of tier 23 Dragon Transformation Realm. It was over a thousand meters tall and its thunderous roar caused the surrounding mountain peaks to split apart. ¡°This is a Giant Spirit Bear. Its inner core should be of top-grade tier 7. It has a miraculous effect on experts who cultivate their physical bodies. It¡¯s really extraordinary,¡± Lin Mo commented. ¡°If it¡¯s auctioned off, it will earn 10.2 million¡­¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes. She had a misconception about Lin Mo. This fellow clearly did not care much about treasures, but he seemed to have a special liking for spiritual stones. He wanted to auction off everything¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, do you really lack spirit stones?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°Why do you ask that?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He really did not know how to answer Bai Luo¡¯s question. If he said that he was not lacking in spiritual stones, that would not be true. However, the most important reason why he wanted to auction everything off was because of the system of rebates. ¡°This lady has plenty of spiritual stones. Do you want them?¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes at Lin Mo and asked. ¡°Of course I want them. Who would complain about having too many spiritual stones?¡± Lin Mo smiled. The Origin Soul Puppet required spirit stones, and his cultivation also required spiritual stones. Strictly speaking, he was really lacking in spiritual stones. ¡°Alright, the auction will begin now. Five unicorn bone fragments. I¡¯ll bid thirty high-grade spiritual stones. Do you have any higher bids?¡± Bai Luo smiled faintly. Chapter 215 - Delicacies of the Mortal World 30 high-grade spiritual stones¡­ In other words, that was 300,000 middle-grade spiritual stones and three billion low-grade spiritual stones. This was equivalent to a year¡¯s worth of income for the Yanhuang royal family. Lin Mo did not expect Bai Luo to be able to take out so many spirit stones. More importantly, these were high-grade spiritual stones. There were not many high-grade spirit stones in the entire Eastern Continent¡­ ¡°You¡­ Where did you come from?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Bai Luo¡¯s background was a little frightening¡­ ¡°Since it¡¯s not the Eastern Continent, why don¡¯t you guess for yourself? Do you want to sell them for 30 high-grade spiritual stones?¡± Bai Luo said with a smile. Honestly speaking, it would be a loss for Lin Mo if he were to sell it like this. However, this might be the best way to deal with it. ¡°30 high-grade spiritual stones, sold.¡± Lin Mo let out a faint laugh and held a symbolic auction, concluding the transaction with Bai Luo. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning off the bone fragments of a spirit-grade tier 7 unicorn ] [ As this is the first time that the host has successfully auctioned off a spirit-grade treasure, 10,000 times the profit from the auction has been triggered. ] [ Acquired earth-grade tier 1 unicorn inner core. ] [ The system has returned an earth-grade treasure. The system¡¯s storage has been expanded to accommodate a large number of earth-grade treasures. ] A series of system notifications made Lin Mo extremely excited. Earth-grade tier 1. He did not expect that the reward for this auction would be 10,000 times and gave him an earth-grade treasure. He looked at the unicorn inner core in the warehouse and was extremely satisfied with the results. Five pieces of bone fragments had given him two unicorn inner cores. However, these were unicorns that had evolved from ordinary demonic beasts. Their bloodline was not very pure, but Lin Mo did not have anything to be picky about. After consuming an inner core, he would be able to obtain an auspicious Qi to protect his body. During this period of time, comprehending the Dao would result in twice the result with half the effort. He had been comprehending the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival, the Four Seasons Sword Technique, the Traceless Wind, and his God Slayer Body. The Dao was extremely mysterious, and it was difficult for an ordinary person to control. However, once he controlled it, he would be able to erupt with power that surpassed his own level¡­ ¡°Hey, what are you grinning foolishly for?¡± Bai Luo frowned as he looked at Lin Mo and said with disdain. ¡°Cough, cough, my constitution is special and requires a lot of spiritual stones to train. Your thirty high-grade spiritual stones have solved my urgent need.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and explained. In the greater world, there were all sorts of strange things. There were countless people with special constitutions. Bai Luo naturally did not doubt this. Instead, she understood why Lin Mo was so passionate about spiritual stones. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go first and take down this Giant Spirit Bear.¡± Lin Mo smiled and equipped the puppet with Plain White Snow. At this moment, the puppet had consumed quite a number of spiritual stones, and now had the strength of tier 23 Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, it had the battle prowess of a peak tier 23 Dragon Transformation Realm. With Plain Snow White, dealing with a Giant Spirit Bear was a piece of cake. ¡°Roar!¡± The Giant Spirit Bear had a fiery temper as well. When it saw the Origin Spirit Puppet charging over with Plain White Snow in hand, it struck out furiously. ¡°Bai Luo, go to its left. I¡¯ll interfere from the right. Assist the puppet,¡± Lin Mo instructed. The Giant Spirit Bear was not weak. If it wanted to escape, even the Origin Spirit Puppet would not be able to catch up. Hence, they could not delay any longer. They had to kill it in one strike. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me. This lady¡¯s level and battle prowess far exceed what you can imagine.¡± Bai Luo replied with a smile and charged forward with a bright silver spear in hand. The spear pierced through the heavens and earth, appearing extremely domineering. ¡°Whoosh.¡± In the end, the giant spirit bear was not a match for Bai Luo and one of its arms was severed by the Origin Spirit Puppet. It wanted to escape, but Bai Luo¡¯s spear pierced through its head. This world-shocking spear strike shocked even Lin Mo.. ¡°Tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at Bai Luo, who had put away his spear, and felt extremely incredulous. Furthermore, Bai Luo¡¯s spear attack had a very familiar smell to it. ¡°That¡¯s the power of the Dao. She has comprehended a Dao art. At such a young age, what a terrifying talent¡­¡± Lin Mo swallowed his saliva. There was indeed a sky beyond the heavens. He was a little older than Bai Luo, and he was still researching how to cultivate and comprehend the Dao. Bai Luo had already grasped it and used it in actual combat¡­ ¡°Hehe, I still have to thank you for the Great Luo Spear Technique that you gave me, which allowed me to break through.¡± Bai Luo smiled, very proud. Yan Rong rushed over from afar and dug out the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core. He looked at the Giant Spirit Bear and said to Lin Die, ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, it seems that eating it will make you stronger¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Die looked at the Giant Spirit Bear with a look of disdain and shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want it. It¡¯s so dirty¡­¡± Lin Mo walked over and smiled when he saw Lin Die like this. To be honest, Lin Die had already taken human form. Although the nature of demonic beasts could not be lost, swallowing other demonic beasts alive¡­ That scene was too ¡®beautiful¡¯ and was a little hard to accept. ¡°You guys really don¡¯t know how to enjoy yourself. Sigh, two ascetic cultivators¡­¡± Bai Luo looked at Yan Rong and Lin Mo with disdain. She pulled Lin Die over and said with a smile, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Big sister will bring you to eat something good.¡± Lin Die still resisted a little, but under Bai Luo¡¯s bewitchment, she still nodded her head. Bai Luo skillfully took out a huge copper cauldron from her spatial ring and poured clear water into it. This water was also from the spirit spring, and as soon as it was poured out, it emitted a refreshing fragrance. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, light a fire. Do you want to eat bear paws? The taste will satisfy you.¡± Bai Luo took out some special seasonings, and even took out the bowls and chopsticks. The crowd stared at her in shock. Very soon, under Bai Luo¡¯s urging, Lin Mo and Yan Rong went to deal with the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s corpse and cut off the four bear paws. At the same time, they also cut off a lot of meat and put them into the bronze cauldron to boil. ¡°Put some more spirit herbs in. This is a great tonic, right?¡± Bai Luo sniffed the fragrance and looked satisfied. Lin Die was also very excited. After seeing the Giant Spirit Bear fall, she indeed had the urge to devour it. However, after transforming into human form, she really could not devour demonic beasts. Now, she could not wait to eat the bear paw¡­ ¡°As long as you¡¯re human, you¡¯ll have the desire to eat. Since you¡¯re going to devour it, wouldn¡¯t it be better to choose the most delicious method?¡± Bai Luo laughed mischievously. Regarding this, Lin Mo agreed. After coming to this world, it seemed like he had never tasted delicious food with his heart. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, don¡¯t stop. Increase the firepower. The meat of this bear paw is very good. It¡¯ll only be delicious after it¡¯s stewed,¡± Bai Luo urged. Soon, the fragrance wafted out. Lin Mo could not wait any longer. The huge cauldron emitted multicolored light from time to time, containing an extremely rich spiritual energy. Not only that, the fragrance also stimulated one¡¯s appetite. Six hours later, Bai Luo lifted the lid of the cauldron. The fragrance spread out and spread for dozens of miles. ¡°It¡¯s so fragrant.¡± Lin Die swallowed her saliva. Without any hesitation, she began to taste the delicacy. Lin Mo and Yan Rong did not stand on ceremony and started to eat heartily. As the meat and bear paws were boiled together with the spirit herbs, the medicinal properties seeped into them. They were really cultivating while eating¡­ ¡°Wow, Sister Bai Luo, you are so awesome. It¡¯s so delicious¡­¡± Lin Die¡¯s small face was filled with a smile. This was not a bloody scene of devouring the flesh of demonic beasts, it was simply tasting the delicacies of the human world¡­ It turned out that training could be like this¡­ Chapter 216 - Golden Bug King The depressing atmosphere within the secret realm turned for the better upon experiencing the treats it had to offer. Along the way, they hunted demonic beasts and obtained their inner cores. Doing so had also satisfied their appetites at the same time. ¡°This forest is really big. It¡¯s been more than ten days since we started exploring it¡­¡± Lin Die complained. They had experienced a lot of battles in the past ten days. Although they had gained plenty of loot from said battles, their stamina would not last should the situation persist. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a mountain peak in front of them exploded, and a golden insect egg shot up from within the rubble. The insect egg cracked open, and a golden insect that was as large as a grown adult¡¯s arm crawled out from it. As soon as it appeared, the energy of both Heaven and Earth immediately surged towards it. ¡°A Golden-scaled Bug!¡± Lin Mo was surprised. This was a high-quality insect. Its properties were so potent that it could be processed into medicine or it could be consumed directly. However, it was also a particularly powerful insect. It was said that their strength was already on par with someone on the first tier of Dragon Transformation even if they had only just broke out of their cocoons. However, while their strength and properties were great and all, that was not Lin Mo¡¯s focus. Golden-scaled Bugs liked to live in groups, and for each colony, there exists a rare creature known as the Golden Bug King. To those who specialized in cultivating their physical bodies, these Golden Bug Kings were an extremely rare treasure. ¡°Lin Mo, the Golden Bug King is at least a top-grade tier 8 treasure. We mustn¡¯t let this chance slip by!¡± Bai Luo exclaimed. Lin Mo nodded. Although they had gathered plenty of treasures throughout their expedition, the Golden Bug King¡¯s value dwarfed all of them, to the extent that he could even present it as a grand prize for the upcoming auction¡­ ¡°Buzz¡­¡± Another bug egg shot out from the rubble of the mountain, followed by another, and then another¡­ Soon, half of the sky was covered by the scintillating golden bodies of the Golden-scaled Bugs. The golden gas they spat out contained an extremely powerful force. Even Lin Mo and Bai Luo dared not take it head-on. Everyone retreated as they were continuously attacked by the Golden-scaled Bugs. ¡°They must¡¯ve have sensed Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s aura. Yan Rong, protect Lil¡¯ Die,¡± Lin Mo said with a frown. Plain White Snow appeared, and Lin Mo unleashed a powerful wave of sword Qi, annihilating a huge swathe of Golden-scaled Bugs that were charging towards them. Bai Luo leaped into action as well. With a thrust of her silver spear, she broke through the Golden-scaled Bugs¡¯ blockade. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Suddenly, while Lin Mo and Bai Luo were fighting against the Golden Scaled Bugs, another Golden Scaled Bug drilled out from the bottom of the collapsed mountain peak. This bug was only the size of a palm, but surrounding its body was several layers of special patterns. Those patterns converged to form the glorious figure of a Golden Dragon. This was done via the masterful usage of its aura. By condensing its aura, the bug was able to project an illusory image of a Golden Dragon to intimidate its enemies. ¡°So, this is a Golden Bug King¡­¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. He had not expected the Golden Bug King to reveal itself this willingly. After all, Golden Bug Kings would never leave their nests usually. This was the reason that made them so elusive. Even for most major forces, the existence of the Golden Bug Kings were only known via word-of-mouth, and not because they had actually seen them. Had it not been for Lil¡¯ Die, the Golden Bug King would likely still be tucked snugly within its nest. ¡°Once we capture it, all we need to do is gather a crowd and auction it off! With that, we can finally put an end to this expedition.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s lips curled into a grin. The Golden Bug King was at least a tier 8 treasure, and if he were lucky, it might even be a tier 9! However, from the looks of it, the Golden Bug King had seen Lin Mo and his gang as no more than prey to be hunted down. The Golden Bug King ordered its subordinates to emanate their golden auras, and together they charged forward at Lin Mo¡¯s squad! The Golden Bug King was at the forefront of the assault, and it seemed that Lin Die was their target. The golden patterns on its surface projected an illusion of a swimming Golden Dragon. Its metallic sheen gave off a spirited and menacing aura. Lin Mo¡¯s Sword Qi did not seem to have much of an effect on it. Yan Rong grabbed Lin Die and retreated, avoiding the first wave of the bug army¡¯s rush attack. Despite this, they were still surrounded by the Golden Scaled Bugs on all fronts. Widening their mandibles, the bugs fired out streams of golden Sword Qi, which converged together to form a sword ray that swept across the battlefield. ¡°Chi!¡± Lin Mo unleashed Ten Thousand Stars Arrival, and spread his majestic Sword Qi throughout the battlefield. Bai Luo pitched in as well, and together, their combined strength had culminated in an attack that managed to take out more than half of the golden bug army. At long last, the Golden Bug King was also caught in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve finally caught it, huh? You¡¯re planning to sell it, right? Why don¡¯t you sell it to me, then?¡± Bai Luo giggled as she spoke. The Golden Bug King was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of one¡¯s physical body, and thus, it was not something she could let slip by. Moreover, as this was loot that she had worked with Lin Mo to catch, standard procedure dictates that they should split the proceeds equally. If Lin Mo was planning to sell it, she did not mind bidding for it. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t mind. Once we get out of this forest and find a spot with a dense crowd, I¡¯ll hold an auction, and you can bid for it,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Hearing this, Bai Luo immediately rolled her eyes. ¡°How much spiritual stones do you lack? Aren¡¯t we friends? I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re trying to profit off of me!¡± Although the Golden Bug King was only a tier 8 treasure, its rarity would undoubtedly make its price skyrocket. Should they auction if off in the imperial city, the Golden Bug King could be used as the grand prize, and it would be auctioned off for a high price of over thirty million. ¡°Naturally, as friends, I¡¯ll definitely give you a discount. Be it now or in the future, should there be an item in my auction that you desire, I¡¯ll provide you with a 20% discount!¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud. Even if he were to only receive half of the spiritual stone proceeds after being discounted by 20%, he would still earn around 12 million. ¡°Brother, keep your eyes peeled.¡± At this moment, Lin Die¡¯s exclamation could be heard from afar. Bai Luo and Lin Mo immediately went on high alert as they scanned their surroundings. A mere instant later, a flaming arrow hurtled towards Lin Mo. It was aimed straight for his forehead. ¡°Hmph.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly. He raised Plain White Snow and chopped the arrow in half. ¡°Leave the Golden Bug King behind and we¡¯ll let you go safely.¡± A man flew over from afar with a flaming longbow in hand. He was tall and very handsome. His expression was calm as he looked down at Lin Mo. Lin Mo looked at this person and was slightly surprised. This person¡¯s strength was actually at Tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. His aura was extremely menacing. After observing for some time, Lin Mo finally recalled that Duanmu Jia had once told him about the circumstances of the various factions within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It seemed that the first elder of the Yuan Yang Holy Land had children. They were twins, and both of them were astounding prodigies. The younger brother was called Yuan Hong, and he was a genius when it came to the art of the bow. His combat prowess was not to be underestimated. He had comprehended the Dao at a young age, and it was said that his cultivation method had already stepped into the spirit-grade. It was unknown whether it was true or not. ¡°Hmph, a genius of the Yuan Yang Holy Land eh. However, you don¡¯t seem strong enough to have the right to look down on others. Even your brother wouldn¡¯t dare to be so arrogant, right?¡± Lin Mo jested. Although Yuan Hong was very strong, it was not to the extent that it would make Lin Mo fear him. In addition, seeing as he had greeted them with an ambush, Lin Mo did not have a particularly favorable impression of him. ¡°You¡¯re courting death,¡± Yuan Hong snapped angrily. He hated it whenever others would bring up his inferiority to his elder brother. As such, Lin Mo¡¯s words had instantly agitated Yuan Hong. ¡°Psst!¡± An arrow cloaked in furious flames shot out, and contained within it was an immense amount of power. ¡°Bang!¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to use Spring and Autumn Exchange to block the blow, a silver spear thrust forward to deflect the arrow. Bai Luo¡¯s pretty face was ice cold as she looked at Yuan Hong. ¡°This item is co-owned by me as well. You dare snatch it from me? Do you have a death wish!?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face was as cold as ice, and her body was emitting endless spear intent. Waves of regal pressure rolled off of her. Chapter 217 - Temporary Stronghold ¡°Two against one? Hardly seems fair, does it?¡± A white light flashed, and a white-clothed cloaked in a holy aura woman flew over from afar. Lin Mo was shocked once again. This person was the Saintess of the Profound Azure Holy Land, Han Yue. It seemed that in the ten or so days since the opening of the Ancient Flame ruins, it had attracted quite a number of individuals from major backgrounds. The Primordial Sun Holy Land was adjacent to the Profound Azure Holy Land, but there was no conflict between the two factions. On the contrary, they had a rather harmonious relationship. The disciples of both factions interacted regularly, and they were on good terms with one another. It seemed that they had chosen to join forces in this exploration of the Ancient Flame Ruins. The only unknown variable at this moment was whether Yuan Hong¡¯s brother, Yuan Cang was part of their group. Lin Mo frowned slightly at the newcomer, Han Yue. She was not an easy opponent to deal with. She seemed to utilize an extremely powerful cultivation technique. Although her level was slightly behind, being only at tier 15 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, her combat prowess did not seem that far behind Yuan Hong¡¯s. ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect the Saintess of the Profound Azure Holy Land to be the type of person who would engage in robbery.¡± Lin Mo joked with a smile. Han Yue was caught off-guard by Lin Mo¡¯s attitude. Throughout all her years of living, those who met her for the first time would either be at a loss or would try their best to attract her attention. To think that the person before her would blatantly voice out his disapproval of her¡­ Her cherry-red lips opened slightly. ¡°Fellow Brother in the way of Dao, we have need for this Golden Bug King. Can you part with it? We are willing to purchase it if needed.¡± ¡°I refuse. I have no intention of selling it at the moment.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and responded. The fact that they were still standing above him and acted superior left quite a distasteful impression on him. ¡°Bzzt.¡± The sound of a bow being drawn could be heard. Yuan Hong held the flaming longbow in his hand. Eyes flashing with killing intent, the flames wreathing the arrow intensified even further. ¡°I advise you not to make a move.¡± Lin Mo glanced at him indifferently and warned him. Yuan Hong was one of the top two geniuses of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. He had never been looked down upon like this. This was in spite of his elder brother Yuan Cang being the Saint of the Primordial Sun Holy Land, who was even married to the Saintess of the Profound Azure Holy Land, Han Yue. Nevertheless, his talent was by no means weak either. His status was extraordinary, and as such, he would receive courtesy wherever he went. ¡°A mere tier 12 Dragon Transformation cultivator dares to talk big in front of me!?¡± Yuan Hong grinned sinisterly. There was a hint of smugness on his face as he said, ¡°Today, I will let you know what true power looks like.¡± Flames burst forth from his body, and terrifying runes appeared on the arrow as he prepared to attack. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Han Yue called out to Yuan Hong, but it was already too late. The flaming arrow had already been shot out¡­ ¡°Thud.¡± This time, Bai Luo did not make a move. She was merely glaring down at Han Yue. In front of Lin Mo, stood his Origin Spirit Puppet. Despite the immense power contained within the shot, the puppet had still blocked it effortlessly. Not only that, after blocking the attack, the Origin Spirit Puppet rushed forward and arrived in front of Yuan Hong near instantaneously. It launched its fist forward, and a powerful burst of force ensured. With only a single attack, Yuan Hong was sent flying. At the same time, while Yuan Hong was being sent hurtling, the fiery red longbow in his hand was snatched away. The Origin Spirit Puppet flew back and handed the longbow to Lin Mo.. ¡°A tier 25 Puppet¡­¡± Han Yue was stared wide-eyed in fear at the Origin Spirit Puppet. As much as a genius the two of them were, Han Yue and Yuan Hong could only face enemies who were at most one or two tiers above them. As such, the tier 25 Origin Soul Puppet was like an insurmountable wall to them. ¡°Bastard, is it truly your own strength if you¡¯re relying on a puppet?¡± Yuan Hong flew back from afar with an ashen face. He did not expect Lin Mo to have such a powerful puppet up his sleeves. There was no way he could go against a tier 25 puppet. ¡°Do you think that this some sort of game? Why would I have a fair duel with you?¡± Lin Mo smiled disdainfully. Anything could happen within the Ancient Flame Ruins. As such, strength was a necessity here. Those who went on and on about rules and such were usually the first to get killed. ¡°Brother, I admit that we have acted rashly in this matter. If you could please return the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow to us, we will promptly take our leave.¡± Han Yue stopped Yuan Hong who was about to charge forward and cupped her fists in respect. The Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow was personally given to Yuan Hong by Yuan Hong¡¯s father. It must not be lost. ¡°Are you joking?¡± Lin Mo said with a cold smile. It was already in his hands, why would he still return it? ¡°Sir, do you really want to offend the Primordial Sun Holy Land and the Profound Azure Holy Land?¡± Han Yue¡¯s tone turned cold. She faintly sighed and her jade-like fingers twirled, forming numerous runes. Within these runes, Lin Mo could faintly sense a powerful aura lingering within. ¡°So what if I¡¯ve offended you?¡± Lin Mo smiled. ¡°Are the Profound Azure Holy Land and the Primordial Sun Holy Land supposed to be very powerful? Even if he could not go toe-to-toe against those factions, what was preventing him from hiding from their wrath? Moreover, if one were to compare backgrounds, Lin Mo was certain that his would come out on top¡­ Although Lin Mo, would rather not rely on his background, if things came to it, he would not hesitate to rely on it. ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have that puppet,¡± Yuan Hong barked. He announced that the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land and the Profound Azure Holy Land were also within the ruins. In the face of the elders, Lin Mo¡¯s puppet would not be able to put up much of a fight. ¡°Is that so¡­¡±Lin Mo frowned and fell into deep thought. Just as Han Yue and Yuan Hong thought that Lin Mo was afraid and a disdainful expression gradually appeared on the latter¡¯s face, Lin Mo spoke indifferently. ¡°In that case, what if I kill both of you? No one would be able to tell who did the deed, right?¡± As he spoke, he handed Plain White Snow over to the Origin Soul Puppet. The sharpness of the tier 9 weapon was extremely dazzling. In the next moment, the origin soul puppet launched into action, thrusting towards Yuan Hong. At the same time, Bai Luo also made her move. Her spear techniques were profound, and she suppressed Han Yue to the point that she felt helpless. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that easy to keep us here.¡± Han Yue frowned. Her cultivation base was lower than Bai Luo¡¯s, so she had no chance of winning. In the end, the two of them used a special talisman, and their figures disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a shallow spatial imprint. ¡°Sigh¡­ What a pity.¡± Looking at this spatial imprint, Lin Mo felt helpless. The talisman the other party used was very high-grade, and it was a spatial talisman as well, making it even more precious. ¡°Offending the Primordial Sun Holy Land and the Profound Azure Holy Land at once. All this enmity when there are still people from the Secret Ghost Sect coming after you¡­¡± Bai Luo reminded Lin Mo about his current circumstances. If he was not careful, he would most likely be reduced to ashes. ¡°What are you panicking for? We¡¯ll cross that bridge when we get to it. One step at a time, one step at a time.¡± Lin Mo did not panic in the slightest as he walked forward. Through the spatial imprint left behind by Yuan Hong and Han Yue, Lin Mo¡¯s soul power had sensed the general location that they had teleported to. It was around tens of thousands of meters ahead, and he sensed several more human auras as well. ¡°They¡¯re probably in a temporary stronghold. There are quite a number of people staying there. However, it could also be a stronghold that¡¯s exclusively for the use of the two great Holy Lands¡­¡± Bai Luo reminded. ¡°Who cares,let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Lin Mo was not afraid at all. The only thought in his mind at this moment was to find people to sell his goods to. He wanted to seclude himself and cultivate as soon as possible. He was going to sell all of his loot, seclude himself, and completely focus on cultivating with the spiritual stones he earned. He would definitely make a huge breakthrough¡­ Chapter 218 - Warm Spirit Jade The four of them rushed forward. Despite encountering several more demonic beasts along the way,they did not bother to hunt them down. After all, Lin Mo was eager to sell the treasures he had on him, ¡°Sigh, my only hope is that they have a lot of spiritual stones on them. Otherwise, I¡¯ll have to sell my items at a loss¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. In order to obtain the rebate from the auctions, he needed to sell the items regardless of their prices¡­ At the very least, Bai Luo would still be able to profit from it. In that case, Lin Mo would just turn a blind eye to her actions. After all, the most important thing for Lin Mo right now was to raise his strength. At the same time, he had to raise his puppet¡¯s strength as well. ¡°Kaboom!¡± Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the distance. In the next instant, a volcano erupted, and endless lava spewed out from it. From afar, it looked as if two individuals were facing off against one another. The power that they had unleashed was far beyond what Lin Mo and his squad cultivation level could handle. What was going on? Lin Mo and the rest were shocked. Why were these people fighting? From the looks of it, the two of them were extremely powerful. Along the way, they had already encountered quite a few battles between fellow cultivators, and they all seemed to be very intense. They sped along, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the temporary stronghold. There were many people there, and there were also quite a few people setting up stalls. All of them were selling good stuff, and their goods seemed extremely precious. Lin Mo asked around, and only then did he understand why this area was so lively, and why so many people had come. ¡°Looks like they¡¯ve obtained the incomplete map of the Ancient Flame Ruins, and from it, they¡¯ve learned that there are tier 9 demonic beast eggs hatching here¡­¡± There were many demonic beasts in the forest. There was once a king among the demonic beasts, and after giving birth to a child, it used a great array to protect it. However, being a ruin and all, the demonic beast¡¯s child could not be birthed and had remained as an egg until now. After all, with the number of demonic beasts present in the ruins, the king¡¯s child would only end up as food to the other demonic beasts if it were to hatch early. However, after many long years of nourishment, if it were to hatch now, it would most likely attain the strength of the Nirvana Realm. A being of such strength would undoubtedly lay waste to the entire Ancient Flame Ruins. ¡°Do you know what kind of demonic beast it is?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. It seems to be just an egg. Moreover, no one has seen it and everyone is still searching for it.¡± A cultivator told Lin Mo what he knew. Nevertheless, the general location of the egg had been pinpointed. It was located at the center of the forest, tens of thousands of miles away from here, within a spiritual mountain that was protected by a powerful array formation. Outside the formation, it was said that one could vaguely see the movements of demonic beasts inside. There were even rumors that the rank 9 demonic beast had already hatched, but it was trapped inside the formation, unable to leave. ¡°These guys are really willing to spend so much money¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. An egg laid by a rank 9 demonic beast was probably not that easy to feed. ¡°Naturally, all of us are willingly to spend a fortune on it. Those who managed to obtain the young demonic beast would definitely see their strength soar!¡± According to the cultivator, the tier of demonic beast eggs were usually on the lower end of things. After all, they were only eggs, and they would have to mature fully in order to display their full power. On the other hand, the demonic beast egg that was currently being hunted was able to reach tier 9 despite being only an egg. This was enough to show how much potential it held. Once it grew up, it would probably become its master¡¯s right-hand man. Its combat strength would be extraordinary. At the same time, demonic beasts that could reach tier 9 were not only powerful in terms combat strength, they also had powerful senses towards natural treasures. Whoever that manages to lay their hands on the egg would be able to acquire endless possibilities in the future¡­ After asking around, Lin Mo shook his head and lost interest in the demonic beast egg. Putting aside the fact that there were a few tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm experts eyeing the egg¡­ Lin Mo already had Lin Die by his side. Although it was only a tier 8 Colorful fire demon, as an innate rare beast, it was likely on par to the tier 9 one. There was no point in biting off more than he could chew. The most important thing for him now was to increase his strength and auction off the items he had collected. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the center of this stronghold, to hold the auction.¡± Lin Mo led everyone forward, and at the center of the stronghold, there was a huge platform. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t judge a book by its cover, cause despite its shabby appearance, this right here is a Warm Spirit Jade. It¡¯s highly beneficial for the cultivation of the soul!¡± On the stage, a man was holding a palm-sized blue jade in his hand as he tried his best to explain its properties. However, the people below were not interested in his item. They were mostly rogue cultivators. Although they had obtained many treasures from the Ancient Flame Ruins, they had yet to obtain any soul cultivation techniques. Without any cultivation techniques, recklessly cultivating one¡¯s soul would cause irreversible damage to it. Although everyone knew that the Warm Spirit Jade was a good item, their desire to purchase it was not particularly high. ¡°How much do you plan on selling this Warm Spirit Jade for?¡± Lin Mo had just arrived, and upon spotting the item, his interest was immediately piqued. ¡°Hehe, this friend has a good eye for treasure. Not only is it cheap and good, once I leave this stronghold, I will also close up shop¡­¡± He was still trying his best to introduce it, but Lin Mo could not wait any longer. He said, ¡°Alright, stop with the theatrics, just tell me, how much does it cost?¡± Hearing this, this person did not hesitate and immediately stretched out two fingers. ¡°20 million. I won¡¯t yield if there¡¯s even a single spiritual stone missing.¡± ¡°Wow.¡± The people below were instantly shocked. The Warm Spirit Jade was clearly broken, yet he was still selling it at such exorbitant prices. ¡°I have three top-grade tier 7 blood coagulation pills here. How about using them to cover 20 million?¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment and offered. He only had 30 top-grade spiritual stones from Bai Luo. He could not bring them out. Otherwise, should he leave the Ancient Flame Ruins, even Jiang Xiyue would not be able to protect him if she were to personally appear¡­ ¡°Three top-grade tier 7 spirit pills.¡± The entire crowd was in an uproar. They looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. who was this person? He was actually so straightforward. Three top-grade tier 7 blood coagulation pills could sell for well over 20 million if he were to put them on an auction. It was considered to be quite a loss to exchange them for a broken Warm Spirit Jade. ¡°I¡¯ll take you up on your offer. Thank you, brother.¡± The man handed the Warm Spirit Jade to Lin Mo. Upon receiving the spirit pills, the man leaped with joy as he was able to make a killing off of an item he had thought to be a dud¡­ Following this, the man handed the stage over to Lin Mo. Being a fellow businessman himself, he could tell that Lin Mo was aiming to sell his goods. Everyone turned their gazes towards Lin Mo. Their interest was piqued, and they wanted to know what other treasures that Lin Mo carried. ¡°Hello everyone, my name¡¯s Lin Mo. I have some treasures that I wish to exchange for spiritual stones. Of course, if you have any treasures that you don¡¯t need, you can also offer them to be exchanged for my goods.¡± After exchanging some pleasantries, Lin Mo took out the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core and said. ¡°The inner core of a top-grade tier 7 Giant Spirit Bear has a miraculous effect on those who cultivate their physical bodies. The starting bid is six million low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. The first item to be auctioned off was the top-grade tier 7 Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core. ¡°What, auctioned off?¡± Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Lin Mo to start an auction there of all places¡­ Moreover, looking at Lin Mo¡¯s current state, he seemed to be carrying more than just the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s Inner Core as part of his goods. Auctioning them all off would take up too much time¡­ ¡°Fellow Daoist, holding an auction would take up too much time. All of us have treasures of our own that we wish to sell too! Just name a price! Once you sell your stuff, just hurry up and leave!¡± Some people booed in an unfriendly manner, asking Lin Mo to settle this as soon as possible¡­ Chapter 219 - Yuan Cang There were quite a number of treasures that these fellow cultivators also planned to sell. After all, they were all items that they themselves could not utilize, and as such, it would be a waste to keep them for themselves. This was not the first time where they encountered an upstart who tried to hold an auction there. However, things always ended up poorly for those folks. ¡°If you want to hold an auction, go ahead, but first, let me introduce you to my fist.¡± A man stepped forward and said with a cold smile. Lin Mo did not hide his aura. He was at tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Being able to reach this stage at this age could be considered genius. Unfortunately, in the grand scheme of things, such a tier was still considered rather weak. As such, most of them had perceived Lin Mo as nothing more than prey. The fact that a person of his caliber was carrying this much treasure was only icing on the cake. ¡°You might have to pay a price if you attack me¡­¡± Lin Mo warned. ¡°Arrogant¡­¡± That man laughed coldly before he launched his attack. However, before anyone could notice, a figure had already appeared in front of Lin Mo, carrying a tier 9 longsword, Plain White Snow. ¡°A puppet?¡± The assailant was shocked. He used all his strength and struck out with his palm. A powerful force erupted as he struck towards Lin Mo. ¡°Sigh, it seems that disputes follow me wherever I go¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled helplessly. The puppet swiftly brought down Plain White Snow, and with that the sharp blade has cut down the assailant with ease. ¡°Sppppt!¡± Blood spurted out, and shock ensued in the center of the stronghold. What level of power was this? It was too terrifying. ¡°Now, does anyone else wish to object?¡± Lin Mo smiled and looked at the crowd below. Everyone was silent. They dared not say another word. The strength of the man who attacked just now was at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was by no means weak. Despite this, he was no threat to the puppet, and he was unable to put up any fight as he was mercilessly cut down by said puppet. ¡°Hehe, no wonder you were acting so arrogantly. So it turns out that you possess such a powerful puppet¡­¡± At this moment, a light chuckle came from afar. Following this, dozens of individuals walked over. There were three people in the lead. Lin Mo frowned upon spotting them. ¡°I take that you all are from the Primordial Sun and Profound Azure Holy Lands? You Must Be Yuan Cang, the Saint of the Yuan Yang Holy Land, right?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Hand over the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow and the Golden Bug King, and I can let bygones be bygones,¡± Yuan Cang smiled and said indifferently. Yuan Cang¡¯s words killed the spirit of bidding that was starting to well up within the audience. Although they really wanted the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core, it was clear that this youth had offended people from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. ¡°Do you have the qualifications to say such words to me?¡± Lin Mo asked. Yuan Cang was very strong. He was at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and his body emanated a powerful aura. However, just this power alone was not enough to make him, Lin Mo, cower. ¡°I know that the few of us here aren¡¯t a match for this puppet, but similarly, your puppet alone won¡¯t be enough for you to run amok in the ruins¡­¡± Yuan Cang¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at Lin Mo like a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment. ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for the people you can call over to speak. I plan to auction off that Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. If you¡¯re interested, you can start bidding.¡± Lin Mo smiled and called for everyone to start bidding. ¡°Hmph, you don¡¯t even know how to appreciate favors.¡± Yuan Hong snorted coldly and wanted to say something. However, when he saw the round collar that was next to Lin Mo, he shut his mouth. ¡°What are you panicking for? There are so many treasures in this ruins. No one can say for sure what kind of opportunity we¡¯ll get in the next second.¡± Yuan Cang continued calmly. His state of mind was extremely good. He actually participated in the bidding for the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core. On the other hand, Lin Mo was rather indifferent to the whole situation. Once Yuan Cang made a bid of 12 million for the Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core, no one else dared to participate. ¡°12 million, sold! Payment first, then you¡¯ll get the goods.¡± Lin Mo stated, indicating to Yuan Cang to pay up first. ¡°Hehe, I am the Saint of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. How could I go back on my words.¡± Yuan Cang threw a cloth bag over and Lin Mo picked it up. After calculating its contents, he smiled and responded, ¡°It seems that I¡¯ve wrongly doubted you.¡± [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 7 top-grade Giant Spirit Bear¡¯s inner core ] [ Triggered 1,000 times auction rebate ] [ Obtained tier 8 low-grade Golden-scaled Bear¡¯s inner core ] ¡°This second item is a tier 8 middle-grade Blood Sun Ginseng, which can greatly replenish Qi and blood circulation.¡± ¡°In a battle, should one be injured, consuming it would heal one¡¯s injuries in a short period of time.¡± ¡°Starting bid, 3 million low-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo took out a blood-colored ginseng. Such a herb would undoubtedly fetch a higher price than the market rate in the ancient ruins. After all, this was a place was filled with various dangers. However, Lin Mo only wanted to complete the auction as soon as possible. After which, he would bring along the spiritual stones and the rebate treasures to enter secluded cultivation. The enemies he met along the way were too powerful. As for his cultivation, he was still stuck at tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was difficult for him to break through. He had been relying on his puppet all this while, and it was only a short term solution in the end. He needed to go into seclusion as soon as possible. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 8 middle-grade spirit herb, Blood Sun Ginseng ] [ Triggered 7,000 times auction rebate ] [ Obtained tier 9 middle-grade spirit herb, Spirit Gathering Root ] ¡°It¡¯s actually a Spirit Gathering Root¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. After auctioning off the Blood Sun Ginseng, Lin Mo had initially thought that it was just an ordinary treasure that would return a meagre rebate reward. Who would have thought that this time, it actually triggered a rebate of 7,000 times and give him a Spirit Gathering Root!? Spirit Gathering Roots contained the purest Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. Even if an ordinary person were to consume it, they would still be able to directly break through to the first tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. On the other hand, if a cultivator were to consume it, they would also be able to greatly increase their strength. ¡°It¡¯s said that some Nirvana Realm powerhouses also rely on this item. It¡¯s truly a rare treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo was very excited. After obtaining yet another supreme treasure, his cultivation speed would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a weapon. It¡¯s a high-grade tier 8 Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. The price is extraordinary. Everyone, make sure not to miss it.¡± The appearance of this bow shocked everyone. In the next moment, their gazes turned towards Yuan Hong. Everyone knew that there were two great geniuses in the Primordial Sun Holy Land who could compete for the position of Saint. The older brother, Yuan Cang, had astonishing talent and extraordinary battle prowess. He defeated his younger brother, Yuan Hong, in a battle and ascended to the position of Saint. As for his younger brother, Yuan Hong, although he was defeated, his battle prowess was equally astonishing. His archery skills were superb, making it difficult for others to go against him. In the end, in order to console Yuan Hong, who had lost in the battle for the position of Saint, his father spent a great deal of effort to order someone to forge the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. However, no one had expected that the very same bow would now end up in an auction, in Lin Mo¡¯s hands¡­ ¡°¡­¡± Everyone looked at Yuan Hong and Yuan Cang, not daring to speak. ¡°The starting bid is 30 million. Does anyone intend to bid?¡± Judging by everyone¡¯s expressions, Lin Mo set the starting bid to 30 million. Yuan Cang¡¯s face was ashen as he stared at Lin Mo. After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief and rather than meeting Lin Mo¡¯s bid at 30 million, he started the bid for the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow at 20 million instead, No one else dared to bid higher than Yuan Cang. After all, to do so in such a situation would be akin to courting death. ¡°He actually endured it¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He did not expect Yuan Cang to have such a strong forbearance. He had already openly extorted him, yet this fellow was still able to endure it¡­ ¡°I was still thinking of letting you make the first move¡­¡± Helpless, Lin Mo and Yuan Cang completed the transaction. Everything went according to plan. However, while all of this was going on, killing intent was starting to manifest¡­ Chapter 220 - Ghost Spirit Bug Lin Mo wanted to infuriate Yuan Cang so that he could make the first move. This way, he would have a chance and a reason to kill Yuan Cang. He would not mind getting one strong enemy off his back, after all. However, he had underestimated Yuan Cang¡¯s patience. To think that he could endure such harassment¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a high-grade tier 8 weapon, Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow ] [ Triggered 7,000 times rebate from the auction ] [ Obtained the Flaming Spiritual Snake Bow, a high-grade tier 9 weapon. ] ¡°High-grade tier 9 weapon¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. The rebate from the auction this time was equally shocking as the one from before. The Flaming Spiritual Snake Bow was very powerful. Even if he was not adept at using the bow, he could still display extraordinary power with this particular bow. He would consider handing off this bow to Jiang Xiyue upon receiving a top-grade tier 9 weapon, or an even stronger spiritual sword¡­ ¡°Everyone, this is the last item up for auction. Once this item is auctioned off, I¡¯ll return the stage to you all.¡± Lin Mo smiled and stated. He took out a jade box from his Interspatial Ring. As soon as it appeared, a gust of cold air surged out to the surroundings, causing the audience to shiver. ¡°To think that it¡¯s contained within a Frost Jade container¡­ I wonder what kind of treasure is housed within it?¡± ¡°This is really unfair. Why can others find so many treasures while I only found some ordinary spirit herbs¡­¡± Some people were lamenting at how big the Ancient Flame Ruins was, especially since it far surpassed most people¡¯s expectations. At the same time, however, the size of the ruins was also a blessing, as it meant that the treasures housed within the ruins were also scattered, and no single person would be able to obtain them all. ¡°Tier 8top-grade Golden Bug King, an extremely rare insect. It is extremely beneficial for the cultivation of the physical body. The starting price is at 15 million. Everyone, try not to miss out on it!¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Although he had other treasures that could cultivate one¡¯s physical body, the lowest rebate for a tier 8 top-grade mutated bug would still yield him a lower tier 9 one. He really wanted to know what the effects of a Tier 9 mutated bug were¡­ ¡°Hmph, I bid 15 million¡­¡± Yuan Hong snorted coldly and called out the starting bid under everyone¡¯s stunned gazes. Some people wanted to bid, but when they saw Yuan Hong¡¯s cold gaze, they immediately retreated. ¡°Hehe¡­ my little brother is mischievous, I hope Brother Lin won¡¯t take offense¡­¡± Yuan Cang smiled faintly and looked at Lin Mo, saying, ¡°Since you decided to auction it at such a timing, I¡¯m sure you have no complaints, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The scene was still very quiet. The pressure from the Primordial Sun and Profound Azure Holy Land factions were too intense, so much so that no one else dared to speak up. Although the Golden Bug King was a very tempting prize, even if they were to participate in the bids, there was no chance of beating Yuan Cang and his brother. Worse still, doing so would also offend two great Holy Lands, and the gains would not make up for the losses. ¡°Sigh¡­ Looks like Lin Mo will have to take a loss on this one¡­¡± Many people felt regretful at the scenario. After all, selling the Golden Bug King for 15 million would incur a huge loss for Lin Mo. Its priced was slashed by more than half. That combined with the item¡¯s extraordinary value made it a very painful situation for Lin Mo. ¡°20 million.¡± Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. Bai Luo, who was sitting below the stage and feeling bored, finally opened her mouth. Moreover, she had made a bid for 20 million, which shocked everyone. ¡°Who is this? How dare she offend two Great Holy Lands?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but her realm is at a very high level. I can¡¯t see through her¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. To have such a cultivation at such a young age, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s not to be underestimated.¡± Everyone spoke one after another as they placed all their attention on Bai Luo. ¡°Wait, she¡¯s clearly on your side. You¡¯re raising the price maliciously.¡± Yuan Hong snapped angrily as he pointed at Bai Luo. ¡°She¡¯s on Lin Mo¡¯s side. Back when we fought for the Golden Bug King, this woman also made a move.¡± Yuan Hong was at a disbelief as he assumed Lin Mo had arranged for Bai Luo to raise the price in this manner. ¡°The Golden Bug King is incomparably precious. If I can get it for 20 million, I¡¯m naturally willing to do so. As for raising the bid with malice, that¡¯s nonsense,¡± Bai Luo sneered. ¡°I¡¯ve been sitting below the stage from the very beginning. I¡¯ve participated in some of the auctions before this. I¡¯m sure someone here would remember me?¡± After hearing her words, everyone recalled that she had indeed been there since the beginning. Lin Mo had brought out quite a few good items at the start. During that period, Bai Luo made several moves, and since the prices she offered were extremely ¡°generous¡±, she had gotten every item she bade for. ¡°Lin Mo and I obtained this Golden Bug King together, so we¡¯ll be splitting our profits fifty-fifty. I¡¯ve already discussed with him that if I bid the highest, I only need to pay half of the spiritual stones¡­¡± After Bai Luo¡¯s explanation, everyone nodded their heads. This was reasonable. Everyone wanted the Golden Bug King, and since the Golden Bug King was half-owned by this woman, she indeed had the right to participate. ¡°30 million.¡± Yuan Cang chimed in, ¡°The price of the Golden Bug King is 30 million. Sell it to me, and all the grudges from before will be written off.¡± He looked at Bai Luo and Lin Mo. if these two knew what was good for them, the deal would be done now, and everything would be fine. Should they continue to act reckless, Yuan Cang would teach them a lesson they would not soon forget¡­ ¡°35 million.¡± However, much to his chagrin, Bai Luo did not hesitate for even a second. She continued bidding, unperturbed by his declaration. ¡°Tch, you overestimate the strength of your background!¡± Bai Luo mocked. Lin Mo nodded his head in agreement. After all, from the fact that she was able to take out thirty high-grade spiritual stones without batting an eye, one could see how terrifying Bai Luo¡¯s background was. After all, despite being only a junior of her clan or sect, she already had this many treasures in her possession¡­ ¡°You¡­¡± Yuan Cang choked for a moment, and his face turned green and red. ¡°Senior brother Yuan Cang, we don¡¯t have enough spiritual stones¡­¡± Han Yue informed Yuan Cang of the bad news. ¡°Oho? You don¡¯t have enough? But you were acting so arrogant just moments ago!¡± Bai Luo curled her lips. She had only increased his bid by five million, but it was enough to outbid Yuan Cang. To think that this was the extent of what the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s Saint was capable of. ¡°You¡¯ll regret this¡­¡± In the end, Yuan Cang left with a harsh declaration along with the disciples of the two holy lands in a sorry state. Although they had obtained many treasures from Lin Mo on this trip, they did not obtain the most precious of them all, the Golden Bug King. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the tier 8 top-grade mutated Golden Bug King ] [ Triggered 10,000 times the auction rebate ] [ Obtained spirit-grade tier 1 Mutated Ghost Spirit Bug ] ¡°10,000 times¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. He had actually hit a rebate of 10 thousand times. He could not believe his luck. Furthermore, looking back, the last two 10,000 times rebates he received were all because of Bai Luo. The more Lin Mo looked at Bai Luo, the more he liked her. It seemed like he had made the right decision to take in this little lass back then¡­ ¡°Thank you all for your support. The auction ends here.¡± Lin Mo ended the auction. He did not have many treasures left to auction off. As for those at the 5th or 6th tier, he was already starting to look down on them. After all, unless he returned 7,000 times the profits, these treasures would not be of much use to him. This time, Lin Mo¡¯s had received massive returns. Not only did he obtain a tier 1 spirit-grade Ghost Spirit Bug, there were other treasures as well. ¡°I can go into seclusion now,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He need not make any other preparations. As long as he refined the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in his hands, he would be able to achieve a perfect breakthrough. With that, he gradually disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight together with Bai Luo and the rest of his squad. Once Lin Mo was gone, Yuan Cang brought the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land and the Profound Azure Holy Land over to this temporary base. The place where they were stationed was not far to begin with. After Yuan Cang sent someone to inform them, the elders rushed over without stopping. Chapter 221 - Mastering the God Slayer Body Nevertheless. Yuan Cang¡¯s efforts were for naught. Lin Mo had already led his group deep into the forest, and they were no longer able to be located. ¡°Little b*stard, just you wait, I will definitely get my revenge on you!¡± Yuan Hong roared angrily. The weapon that he was so proud of had been snatched away, and in the end, he had no choice but to buy it back from Lin Mo at a high price. This was a humiliation, a great humiliation indeed¡­ Lin Mo headed off into the distance and found a secluded spot. Upon digging out a cave abode in the mountains, he immediately began his seclusion. As for Bai Luo who did not have much need for a breakthrough, she brought out two jade talismans and planted soul imprints on them. With that, she would be able to locate the position of those who carried the talismans. With her preparation all done, she brought Lin Die and Yan Rong away to search for treasures. Regarding this, Lin Mo was not worried about the safety of Lin Die and Yan Rong. After all, Bai Luo carried many treasures on her. Her vast arsenal of treasures essentially meant that she had a great supply of life-saving trump cards. Even if those treasures were insufficient to bring down her opponents, she would still be able to make an escape if it came to it. As such, Lin Mo was able to hide and isolate himself within his cave dwelling without a single shred of concern for the outside world. He dug out a small pool and poured in his supply of Spirit Spring Water. This was a special spring water that he had received from the auction rebate system. It was a tier 8 treasure. Should he cultivate while being immersed in said spring water, his cultivation rate would increase two-fold. ¡°Whether or not I make a breakthrough in the Dragon Transformation Realm is of little consequence. Most importantly, I must comprehend the Dao principle of the God Slayer Body.¡± Lin Mo said to himself. Soon, the Spirit Spring Water took effect. Strands of special aura floated out and entered Lin Mo¡¯s body as he breathed in the air around him. ¡°The Spirit Gathering Root contains a large amount of spiritual energy. It should be capable of fulfilling the God Slayer Body¡¯s energy needs.¡± Lin Mo nodded to himself as he brought out the Spirit Gathering Root and placed it into the pool. A mere instant later, the originally clear pool water turned golden, and Lin Mo¡¯s body was dyed with the golden medicinal liquid. The fragrance assailed the nostrils, making one feel as if they were floating in the air. This was undoubtedly Lin Mo¡¯s most extravagant spending of his medicinal herbs ever. It had far surpassed all of his previous efforts. After all, the Spirit Gathering Root was only the opening dish. Following that, Lin Mo took out two unicorn inner cores, consumed one, and threw the other one into the pool water. In an instant, the golden pond water turned white. It was not a murky white, however. Rather, it shone with a dazzling white light that seemed almost divine. Rays of holy light seemed to shoot out from the pool as they converged onto Lin Mo¡¯s body. Following that, Lin Mo took out the thirty high-grade spiritual stones that Bai Luo had given him, gritted his teeth, and threw them all into the pool. The spiritual energy contained within those stones were nothing short of terrifying. Lin Mo was only able to withstand such a barrage of spiritual energy because he possessed the God Slayer Body. Had it been anyone else in his position, they would likely have been crushed, even if they were a Nirvana Realm cultivator. Naturally, his generous spending of resources had yielded results almost instantly. ¡°It¡¯s coming¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth as waves of intense pain radiated from the meridians in his body. He sat cross-legged in the pool water as his God Slayer Body continuously absorbed the spiritual energy contained within the pool. The God Slayer Body was a voracious beast that devoured all the spiritual energy that was available. All kinds of rare spiritual medicine could be seen at the bottom of the pool. It was truly an extravagant use of resources. After all, the resources that Lin Mo had expended for the sake of cultivating his low-tiered Dragon Transformation Realm had already surpassed the resources available to some Holy Lands! At the rate he was going, even the Yanhuang Divine Empire would be hard-pressed to support his cultivation to the Nirvana Realm. As Lin Mo sat cross-legged within the pool, Ten Thousand Stars Arrival rotated around him, and gradually turned his surroundings to that of a starry sky. Stars appeared one after another, and in the end, they spewed out endless energy for him to absorb. ¡°Perhaps, I can create a cultivation technique that revolves around the God Slayer Body¡­¡± Lin Mo subconsciously thought to himself. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival gradually appeared in his mind, revealing the cultivation path that he should take. The rich heaven and earth energy in the surroundings spread out and continuously surged into Lin Mo¡¯s body. His aura rose immensely at this moment. Before long, he had already reached tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Despite this, his growth showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Lin Mo silently comprehended and felt the changes occurring as a result of the God Slayer Body. Thousand Stars Arrival, Traceless Wind, and the Four Seasons Sword Technique were continuously evolving right before his mind¡¯s eye. In the end, even the God Slayer Body had undergone some changes. The originally silent sea of Qi within his Dantian suddenly became active. However, what shocked Lin Mo the most was that the spiritual energy in his Dantian was gradually disappearing. Not only that, the water within the pool was also beginning to dissipate, and the heaven and earth energy was decreasing at an even greater rate! ¡°Is this still not enough to satisfy the God Slayer Body¡¯s appetite!?¡± Despair surfaced in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. Thirty high-tier spiritual stones, a Spirit Gathering Root, two unicorn inner cores, and countless other treasures¡­ How could the consumption of this much materials still fail to fulfill the God Slayer Body¡¯s requirements!? ¡°I¡¯ll do it! I¡¯ll do it!¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. In truth, he had already realized how difficult it was to fulfill the God Slayer Body¡¯s requirements long ago. It was only due to the fact that he possessed such an abundance of resources that he decided to take a chance at cultivating it. At this moment, he knew very well what was occurring within his body. Should he fail at cultivating the God Slayer Body at this juncture, not only would the God Slayer Body devour his cultivation base, but also his life force as well¡­ As his sea of Qi burned, the bones in Lin Mo¡¯s body emitted light and continuously erupted with power. This was especially true for his spine, in which the number of bones it contained corresponded to the 31 levels of the Dragon Transformation Realm. At this moment, 16 bones of his spine were glowing and unleashing divine light. Under the influence of the God Slayer Body, the full potential of Lin Mo¡¯s body was unleashed. This process was extremely painful. Lin Mo almost passed out from the sheer agony he was experiencing. Throughout this process, Lin Mo suffered greatly. The amount of divine energy that his spine was emitting was so intense that it almost killed him. ¡°What doesn¡¯t kill you makes you stronger¡­¡± Lin Mo resisted, circulated his spiritual energy, and began to try to communicate with the God Slayer Body in an attempt to draw out the Dao principles it contained. At the same time, he guided the power of the God Slayer¡¯s Body to circulate throughout his body. This was an extremely tiring process. Most would have been crippled after experiencing such immense pain. At this moment, Lin Mo was also feeling extremely uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and persevered. ¡°Come out¡­¡± He used every ounce of his consciousness to forcefully circulate his spiritual Qi and poured it into the whirlpool formed by the God Slayer Body in his sea of Qi. Crack¡­ A crisp sound could be heard. Lin Mo felt a great fear. He had an ominous premonition that should the whirlpool grow any stronger, he would become a cripple. ¡°No¡­ Could I¡¯ve been following a wrong cultivation path?¡± Lin Mo calmed his heart and carefully thought about the steps that he had taken. However, the God Slayer Body did not give him any time to think through his options. Once Lin Mo had let down his guard, the God Slayer Body immediately pressed the attack. However, the cracks that were forming in his Sea of Qi gradually began to heal before disappearing completely. At the same time, Lin Mo had a realization that his previous efforts were not for naught. His consciousness rushed into the God Slayer body along with spiritual energy, and it was beginning to feel as if he had some control over it¡­ ¡°Stop.¡± Lin Mo gave an order. In the next moment, the vortex stopped completely. It was as if it had never appeared before¡­ ¡°Buzz.¡± The spiritual energy that had been circulating according to the Ten Thousand Stars Arrival technique had also changed at this moment, and it was moving in the direction that Lin Mo had expected. ¡°I¡­ succeeded¡­¡± After a short moment of shock, Lin Mo leaped with joy upon the realization that he had really taken control of the God Slayer Body¡­ Chapter 222 - Soul Devouring Art As he circulated his spiritual energy, Lin Mo discovered some changes had taken place after his cultivation of the God Slayer Body. There was a deep black color emitting from his spiritual energy. This was a result of the God Slayer Body. Although he still was not completely sure that he had truly mastered it, for now, the fact that he could utilize it was good enough. He observed his body through his mind¡¯s eye and noticed his meridians greedily devouring the heaven and earth energy in his surroundings to form a terrifying vortex in his Dantian. Lin Mo opened his eyes and discovered that the water in the pool had long since dried up. The place where he sat cross-legged had turned into dry soil. The spiritual energy it contained had been devoured completely, leaving only the residue from his cultivation resources. ¡°Hmm, I shall name this new cultivation technique the Soul Devouring Art.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself, his heart filled with joy. His body had been strengthened after the ordeal. It now sparkled with a translucent luster, and boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth was being seeped into his body through his skin. The injuries he had suffered previously due to cultivation were also rapidly recovering at this moment. Upon completing the recovery process, the energy was then used for strengthening himself instead, making him a living cultivation machine. Lin Mo sat cross-legged within the cave abode, healing his injuries and sensing the changes that had occurred to his body. His eyes were deep and his entire body was emitting multicolored light. All he felt at this moment was that he had an endless amount of power. He desperately desired an opponent to fight against. It would be best if he could meet Yuan Cang after he came out of seclusion. He was certain that Yuan Cang would make a good sparring partner¡­ Despite only mastering the God Slayer Body at the surface level, Lin Mo was still filled with boundless confidence. Upon exiting his cave abode, Lin Mo changed his clothes and stood in a valley. Although the power of his God Slayer Body was not particularly noticeable, should one pay attention, they would realize that the energy in the surroundings seemed to gravitate towards Lin Mo at all times. Lin Mo stood stock still within the valley. As he stood there, the spiritual energy of the world naturally drew close to him. At this moment, he was like a banished immortal. As he slightly circulated the spiritual energy within his body, a majestic power immediately surged out from within him! Despite being as still as a mountain, the energy he emanated felt as if he was the wedge of the Heavens! It felt as if any movement from him was capable of crushing mountains and splitting rivers! ¡°Whoosh.¡± Lin Mo took a step forward, leaving behind a pitch-black afterimage as his actual body quickly faded from view. He disappeared from where he stood at an unbelievable speed. In the next moment, the valley where Lin Mo was standing at cracked open as a result of his powerful aura. Lin Mo stood between heaven and earth like a dormant true dragon. He looked delicate and agile, but when he unleashed his true power, he was undefeatable. A cry was heard overhead as a divine bird approached Lin Mo from afar. Its wings covered the sky and the Sun, and it gave off a ferocious aura. It had mistaken the majestic aura that Lin Mo was exuding as supreme treasure and had flew over in an attempt to retrieve said treasure. Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the divine bird. It wielded the strength of a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, and for most, it was undoubtedly a powerful beast. Despite this, Lin Mo was unperturbed. With a raise of his hand, divine energy surged forth from Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°Boom.¡± The earth shook. The force generated from the explosion caused some of the surrounding mountains to collapse. It was an attack from the divine bird! However, Lin Mo¡¯s figure did not move at all. Moreover, he had even managed to attach his spiritual energy to the divine bird¡¯s body. In a blink of an eye, the divine bird felt as if it had fallen into quicksand, and it was struggling to break free. Its strength and power were gradually being sapped by the Soul Devouring Art of his God Slayer Body. The divine bird was shocked. It stared at Lin Mo with a trace of fear in its eyes. Originally thinking that it had found treasure, never in its wildest dreams did it occur to the divine bird that it would encounter such a powerful being. ¡°Despite possessing a tier 18 Dragon Transformation cultivator¡¯s level of power, it is still incapable of resisting the God Slayer Body¡¯s power¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the divine bird and saw despair and fear in its eyes. ¡°Scram.¡± Lin Mo glanced at it indifferently and released the shackles of spiritual energy he had placed on the divine bird. The Divine Bird felt as if it had been granted amnesty. When it saw that Lin Mo was willing to let it go, it immediately spread its wings and flew high into the sky, not daring to stay for even a second longer. Lin Mo took a step forward and executed Traceless Wind. In just a single step, he had managed to travel over thousands of feet. ¡°Roar!¡± As he continued traveling, he encountered yet another ferocious creature, a violent giant black ape that stood at several hundred feet tall. Its body was covered in dense black fur. The Giant Black Ape¡¯s huge fist came smashing down towards Lin Mo.. However, Lin Mo had managed to block the ape¡¯s powerful blow with just his pinky finger. Tried as it might, the ape was incapable of advancing any closer towards Lin Mo. The giant black ape was shocked. It could not believe that a human youth would have strength on par, no, strength that surpassed its own! ¡°Buzz.¡± In an instant, Lin Mo disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already behind the giant black ape. He raised his hand and placed it on its shoulder. In the next moment, a powerful force erupted and forcefully lifted the giant ape up. Lin Mo lifted the ape up in the air and threw it towards a distant mountain. The giant black ape¡¯s body crashed into the mountain, shattering it in the process. Giant rocks rolled down, burying the giant ape¡¯s body. ¡°My strength has been amplified. My physical body is probably comparable to some physical body cultivators now¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He clenched his fist, sensing the power within that was capable of shattering mountains. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength had vastly improved. All other matters aside, Lin Mo was certain that as he was now, he was capable of escaping any and all fights that he could not possibly win. After letting go of the giant ape, Lin Mo found a few more powerful demonic beasts to fight. Among these opponents was a Water Dragon that was equivalent to a tier 20 Dragon Transformation Realm Cultivator in strength. The two of them exchanged countless blows, shattering the earth and mountains that they stood on as they fought. After confirming his combat strength with those new opponents, Lin Mo carried onward. He went to the place where he and Bai Luo had found unicorns. However, the place was already in a mess. Traces of battle could be seen all over the area within a thousand miles. Many cultivators had already left and were nowhere to be seen. From the broken limbs in the surroundings, it could be seen that the battle here was extremely intense. ¡°It was fortunate that we left early¡­¡± Lin Mo rejoiced, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of regret. The body of the unicorn had disappeared. Perhaps it had been taken away by someone, or perhaps it had sunk deep into the ground and was buried deep within it. After experiencing such a huge battle, Lin Mo was certain that there were no more good treasures left in the area. As such, he turned around and left. As he sped along, he found a valley that emitted multicolored light. However, as expected, the place was a mess. There was nothing left. All sorts of broken weapons were strewn across the ground along with the bodies of humans and demonic beasts. ¡°How tragic. The Ancient Flame Ruins is even bigger than I had imagined. Perhaps, the folks from the imperial family have already entered¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Very quickly, he found a corpse in the ruins. To be more precise, it was the waist token on the corpse that attracted him. ¡°The imperial family¡¯s tormentors¡¯ token.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. To think that someone of their abilities had died here. ¡°I wonder who was he under? Could it be the Emperor himself?¡± Lin Mo had a strange expression on his face as he inspected the token. He sized up this token from top to bottom, and finally gave up helplessly. He could not find any clues. He started to look around again, and Lin Mo only found a few relatively intact tier 7 weapons. Other than that, there were no other items of note. However, the location was still a treasure trove that was filled with plenty of spiritual energy. Had he chosen to seclude himself there, he might have cultivated even faster. Chapter 223 - News about Bai Luo and Lin Die ¡°Eh? Who¡¯s there?¡± He raised his head and looked at a pile of rubble not too far away. There were a few cultivators digging for something far away, but they were still discovered by Lin Mo.. They were all extremely nervous, as they could sense a something different about Lin Mo¡¯s aura. ¡°We weren¡¯t spying on you! We¡¯ve been here for a few days now, and we¡¯re only here to test our luck!¡± The few of them hurriedly explained. Their strength was by no means impressive. As a matter of fact, the strongest among them was only at tier 15 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The battle that had taken place here had frightened them greatly, so much so that they stayed as far away from it as possible. However, with the battle now over, they decided to gather their courage to score some damaged artifacts or other treasures of note. Upon hearing this, Lin Mo decided against bullying them for info. Instead, he decided to trade their information for the broken but serviceable artifacts he had found lying around earlier. ¡°Regarding that unicorn that you mentioned, is it the huge corpse that was dug up in the Spirit Burial Valley half a month ago?¡± A person asked in puzzlement. ¡°Half a month ago? Spirit Burial Valley?¡± Lin Mo was surprised. What kind of place was this? How long had he been in seclusion¡­ Noticing that Lin Mo was truly clueless, one of the cultivators then brought out an incomplete hand-drawn map and said, ¡°This is the Spirit Burial Valley.¡± ¡°Half a month ago, this place was filled with multicolored light. Countless cultivators were attracted to the spot, and it was there that they dug up a unicorn¡¯s skeleton.¡± However, rather than bringing about countless opportunities for the people, it had instead invited a massacre. Many people wanted to monopolize the unicorn¡¯s skeleton for themselves, and it had resulted in endless disputes. After fighting for three days and three nights, the blood of the slaughtered crowd was all absorbed by the unicorn. As a result, the skeleton sank into the ground, and after one final bout, everyone deserted the area. Hearing that, Lin Mo nodded and commented, ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve been in seclusion for more than half a month¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been in seclusion for half a month, you say? What a pity. Quite a number of treasures had appeared here, including several tier 1 spirit herbs.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You might have stood a chance to obtain one if you were present back then.¡± Someone added. It was rumored that the area could no longer be called the Ancient Flame Ruins. It was more apt to call it a shattered plane. After all, the only reason it was called the Ancient Flame Ruins in the first place was due to the Ancient Flame Sect of eons past claiming it first. Their actions had discredited the true powerhouse, the actual creator of this plane of existence. It was likely that the creator of the plane had surpassed the Nirvana Realm, but being an entity that dated ages ago, it was hard to verify the truth of the matter¡­ ¡°A total of five tier 1 spirit herbs appeared here and it caused quite a sensation. Even the imperial family of the Yanhuang Divine Empire joined in.¡± One of the cultivators complained with great envy. ¡°The young master of the imperial capital¡¯s Chen Manor had also appeared, and he brought along several of his followers to forcefully snatch one of the herbs for himself.¡± ¡°As for the other herbs, they were obtained by the Mu clan, Sima clan, and the Su clan of Ancient Flame City respectively.¡± The cultivators discussed animatedly. The battle at that time was very intense. Heck, it was to the extent that those below tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm were incapable of participating in the battle. ¡°If those below tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm are not allowed to participate in the battle, then what makes you think that I stood a chance to obtain the herbs?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. Lin Mo had never hidden his aura. Although he was only at tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, his combat strength was extraordinary, but even so, he doubted that he could actually come out on top in such a fearsome battle. ¡°I¡¯m sure you wouldn¡¯t have participated in the battle alone, sir. After all, you¡¯re so powerful. You must have a strong backing,¡± one of the cultivators chimed. ¡°Haha, I indeed come from a powerful background, but it¡¯s a shame that I can¡¯t rely on them¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud. Before he gained enough power, his relationship with Jiang Xiyue must not be made public. As far as the outside world was concerned, he was only Jiang Xiyue¡¯s subordinate. Therefore, he could not borrow too much of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s power, or else he might meet with misfortune. ¡°Sir, don¡¯t you have any elders to follow? That¡¯s a pity. You¡¯ll miss a lot of opportunities¡­¡± The cultivators shook their head in pity. ¡°In any case, do you know where those people went after they left this area?¡± Lin Mo asked. His question also served the purpose of inquiring about the whereabouts of the tier nine demonic beast egg he had previously heard about. If it was possible, he would like to get involved in acquiring it. ¡°Sir, you missed it again¡­¡± Upon hearing this, the cultivators exchanged gazes at one another. They started to feel that the world was going against Lin Mo.. ¡°Just seven days ago, the tier 9 demonic beast egg hatched, and it resulted in an all-out-battle that lasted five days and five nights¡­¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless, to think that he actually missed out on this many opportunities during his seclusion¡­ ¡°But I heard that the demonic beast egg was vanquished at the very end of the fight. It was said to have been destroyed by a little girl, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not.¡± Lin Mo inquired further as he was rather curious about the person¡¯s identity. ¡°That little girl was only at tier 5 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and she wore scarlet armor. She was not particularly strong.¡± ¡°But her elder sister was truly a powerhouse. That white-clothed woman cut open a path with a spear and successfully snatched the Demonic Beast Egg.¡± The few of them had looks of admiration. This kind of fighting strength was probably what they had devoted their lives to pursue¡­ ¡°Why do they sound so much like Bai Luo and Lin Die¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. They sounded really similar. Moreover, Bai Luo definitely would definitely not miss out on such a big event. ¡°What happened to the sisters?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°They escaped successfully. It¡¯s very likely that they have gone to the far end of the mountain range. There is a huge natural lake there that contains immense spiritual energy,¡± someone replied. Lin Mo recognized that place. The map of the Ancient Flame Ruins indicated that the Ancient Flame Sect was established on that very lake. However, the lamentable thing was that when the lake erupted, the immense power that was contained within it killed countless members of the sect. It was so powerful that even the sect¡¯s leader was incapable of holding it back. As a result of their heavy casualties, the Ancient Flame Sect disbanded shortly after. However, the news from there spread out. It was said that it was a natural Dragon Transformation pool that contained True Nirvana Blood. So long as one made contact with the blood, they would immediately reach the Nirvana Realm. Because of this, countless people fought for the map of the Ancient Flame Ruins, causing the map to be incomplete for a long time. However, now that the pool had been discovered, it was a heavily guarded region. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Lin Mo thanked the cultivators and left. ¡°That pair of sisters should be Lil¡¯ Die and Bai Luo. However, where did Yan Rong go?¡± He muttered softly to himself. The spiritual energy in the mountain range was dense. The deeper they went, the thicker the fog formed by the spiritual energy. The so-called Dragon Transformation pool was actually a blood-red lake with a diameter of 1,000 meters. The water in the pool shone a crimson red, and the top of the lake was covered by the fog all year round. In the fog, one could see a strand of golden luster. On the periphery of the lake, there were many small pools, and there were many spiritual herbs nearby. Some people even found spiritual herbs that were half a step into the spiritual-grade. ¡°Are you kidding me? Didn¡¯t they claim that there were spirit herbs everywhere?¡± Lin Mo cursed loudly. He had already been at the lake for several days. However, the most precious spirit herb he had encountered was still a low-grade rank 7 Cold Spirit Herb. Other than that, there was nothing else worth noting. Moreover, he had been attacked by quite a number of people, and he was starting to grow frustrated. At the same time, Lin Mo also became vigilant. Although his strength had increased greatly, he dared not act too recklessly. While the youngsters were of little threat to him, he was especially wary for the elders who were at least tier 20 and above. There were even some who were on the same level as the Su family¡¯s old ancestor, Su Hanhai. He was the kind of expert that Lin Mo needed to be on guard against, otherwise, Lin Mo might get himself killed before he could even realize what had happened. Chapter 224 - Silver Arowana Chapter 224: Silver Arowana ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. My master is looking for you.¡± Lin Mo was walking down the road when he was suddenly blocked by a man and a woman. The two of them were standing on a tree and were obscured by mist, making their presence difficult to notice. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. Did these people really think that he was a soft persimmon that they could pinch whenever they wanted? ¡°Eh?¡± Very quickly, Lin Mo noticed that there was a pond in front of him. In the pond, there were a couple of silver fishes swimming around. These were no ordinary fish. They were a rare treasure known as the Silver Arowanas. The Silver Arowanas were a rare delicacy, and Lin Mo had only learned of this after being influenced by Bai Luo. During the ancient times, it was rumored that even gods wanted to eat these Silver Arowanas. Its taste aside, the effects that the Silver Arowanas possessed were even more precious. It was said that they could nourish one¡¯s soul, and upon eating them, one would be able to further increase one¡¯s soul power. This was the true reason why the ancient gods desired the Silver Arowanas. Sure, being delicious was a plus, but the most important thing was that they could increase one¡¯s strength¡­ ¡°There¡¯s seven of them in total. I won¡¯t hold back anymore¡­¡± This time, Lin Mo did not intend to retreat. In the past, whenever he encountered an attack, he would either retreat or force the other party to back off. However, now that there were Silver Arowanas on the line, the circumstances had changed. Nevertheless, he did not act rashly. After all, the Silver Arowanas were immensely fast creatures, and this made it difficult for them to be caught. Even the slightest hint of carelessness would result in their escape. More importantly, the Silver Arowanas were creatures that could ignore the terrain they swam in. Be it the sky or the ground, the Silver Arowanas would still be able to swim in them. As such, the foggy atmosphere above them made it the best shelter for the Silver Arowanas to flee to. Once it flew into the mist, catching them would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. ¡°You¡­ Come here for a moment.¡± While Lin Mo was coming up with plans on capturing the Silver Arowanas, a cold voice rang out above him. A figure walked over. He had purple hair and purple pupils. A powerful pressure emanated from him that penetrated the thick spiritual energy in the surroundings. ¡°State your business.¡± Lin Mo said very calmly. ¡°If you want a Silver Arowana, become my follower and I¡¯ll give you one.¡± He spoke in a demanding tone. Lin Mo laughed out loud. He was initially hesitant about stealing the Silver Arowana from their owners. However, now that their owner had shown his true colors, Lin Mo saw no other way forward but to fight him for the fishes. Coincidentally, he also wanted to test his own strength against an actual cultivator. Although he had found several demonic beasts to practice his newfound strength with before, he would rather have an actual sparring partner. ¡°Who do you think you are to deserve me as your follower?¡± He said with a smile. However, Lin Mo was soon shocked because another person had come from afar. It was someone he was familiar with. ¡°Hehe, the world is truly a small place¡­¡± The person who had just arrived was Yuan Hong, the genius of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. However, he seemed to be alone this time. ¡°Brother Kong, I heard that you have located the Silver Arowanas and require helpers to assist in catching them. This person before you will be a good fit, he¡¯s very powerful and is worth being your servant.¡± Yuan Hong stated. ¡°Is that so? I happen to be lacking a servant, so I guess you¡¯ll fit the bill quite nicely.¡± Upon hearing Yuan Hong¡¯s words, the man¡¯s interest in Lin Mo was piqued. Seeing this, Lin Mo grew curious as well and asked, ¡°Who are you, and which Holy Land are you a part of?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a Holy Land disciple. My name is Kong Xuan, and I¡¯m from the Peacock Spirit Clan. In addition, I¡¯ll be your master in the future,¡± the man said with a sneer. Lin Mo¡¯s body emitted a very mysterious aura. Kong Xuan tried to probe into it with his spiritual energy, but in the end, his energy disappeared without a trace. Had Lin Mo not been standing right in front of him, he would not have noticed his existence. ¡°Hehe, Lin Mo, you can try using the puppet again. I have my own ways to deal with you.¡± Yuan Hong sneered. Yuan Hong had an important treasure on him this time. Although he was still no match for the Origin Soul Puppet, he was confident that he could stall it. He directed waves of killing intent towards Lin Mo.. Previously, Lin Mo had snatched the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow from him, and in the end, he had his brother buy it back with 20 million spiritual stones. It was a great humiliation, and he had always wanted to take revenge on him. ¡°I don¡¯t need my puppet to deal with the two of you. Are You Ready?¡± Lin Mo said indifferently as he taunted them. ¡°You can attack at the same time if you want.¡± As soon as these words were said, both Yuan Hong and the young man from the Peacock Spirit clan had a drastic change in their expressions. Lin Mo was too conceited. He dared to make such a bold claim despite facing the two of them? ¡°Do you really think you¡¯re the reincarnation of a deity?¡± Yuan Hong snapped angrily. He had long held a grudge against Lin Mo. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare encroach the territory of the deities. However, I believe myself to be a person chosen by fate.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly as he stepped forward menacingly, with black spiritual energy trailing behind him. The entire area trembled incessantly as copious amounts of spiritual energy surged towards Lin Mo. in the end, they gathered to form a vortex of spiritual energy. A boundless pressure emanated from Lin Mo¡¯s body, shocking everyone. ¡°A person chosen by fate? More like an arrogant brat! Do you think you¡¯re worthy of such a destiny!?¡± The young man from the Peacock Spirit Clan exclaimed. He and Yuan Hong stepped forward together, unleashing powerful auras of their own to suppress Lin Mo¡¯s aura. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to join hands? That¡¯s good too. Let¡¯s see what you got.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. Yuan Hong was furious, and his face gradually darkened. He did not expect Lin Mo¡¯s realm to rise this drastically in the short period since their last meeting. Lin Mo was now at tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and it was close to the peak of the realm. The strength he displayed reminded him of his brother, Yuan Cang¡­ ¡°No, your strength is probably a bluff.¡± Flames broke out as Yuan Hong nocked an arrow at Lin Mo. ¡°Today is the day you die,¡± Yuan Hong spat angrily. He shot an arrow that tore through the air like a leaping python. It was a powerful shot. Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual energy spread out and formed a black hole around his body, devouring everything around him. Although the arrow was extremely powerful and was fueled with boundless killing intent, Lin Mo stood stock still as his black spiritual energy devoured the attack targeted at him. Upon making contact with the wall of black spiritual energy, the arrow slowed down as if it was moving through mud. The flames surrounding its body withered drastically, and before long, all of its spiritual energy had disappeared, making it no different from an ordinary arrow. Lin Mo raised his hand to grab the arrow, all the while smiling disdainfully. ¡°Is this the new technique you came up with?¡± Contempt hung in the air, not only from Yuan Hong, but also the young man from the Peacock Spirit Clan. The two of them attacked at the same time, displaying their martial arts prowess. ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant! Let¡¯s see how you¡¯ll handle this blow!¡± The momentum of the two¡¯s attack was so great that Lin Mo could not help but marvel at its power. The martial art was at least a tier 9. Brilliant runes spread out in front of the two of them and continuously spread out. Soon, their attack was ready. Lin Mo¡¯s expression remained unchanged as he received them head-on. Yuan Hong¡¯s arrow was like a great sun, incomparably majestic as it emitted a piercing radiance. As for the Peacock Spirit Clan youth, his body was emitting a five-colored divine light. his attack contained the profound meaning of the five elements. Lin Mo could feel the power of the Dao principles powering it. This made him frown slightly. How was he able to attain such strength? Lin Mo was certain that the Yanhuang Divine Empire held a iron grip on making sure none of the factions within its nation grew too powerful¡­ ¡°Rumble!¡± Lin Mo finally made his move. After seeing what they had to offer, Lin Mo realized he could not afford to be reckless. He unsheathed Plain White Snow and unleashed his sword Qi at them. Chapter 225 - Prodigies, Beheaded ¡°Go to Hell!¡± Yuan Hong roared angrily. The arrow that was already as huge as a boulder welled up with even more power. The young man from the Spirit Peacock tribe also unleashed his full power. Five-colored divine light circulated, and the power of the five elements shot out. However, what they did not expect was that there was a black-hole-like domain surrounding Lin Mo¡¯s body. Any power that entered this domain would be restricted and would be continuously devoured. In the end, their attacks were easily neutralized by a single swing from Lin Mo¡¯s sword. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The two of them were dumbfounded and their faces were warped in shock. What kind of move was this? Was it a martial art? Or was it a domain that came with a cultivation technique? Wasn¡¯t this a little too powerful? At least half of their attacks had been absorbed by this black-hole-like domain. On the other hand, Lin Mo¡¯s face was still at a healthy complexion. Although he had just dissipated their attacks with his sword, he did not seem to have used up much energy. ¡°What kind of forbidden spell is this?¡± Yuan Hong¡¯s heart trembled as a thought came to mind. Could Lin Mo be from a powerful background as well? ¡°My turn!¡± Lin Mo shouted loudly. He had given them their chance, now, it was his turn to attack. Despite being one against two, he had the upper hand. This was how much Lin Mo had improved since their last encounter. His physical body had long been strengthened to its peak after being damaged by the God Slayer Body several times. Moreover, in a battle where spiritual energy was a necessity, why would he, an individual with the Soul Devouring Art have to fear his opponents? ¡°Ack.¡± After changing a dozen or so blows, Yuan Hong coughed out blood and staggered backwards. His left shoulder had been struck by the Plain White Snow sword, and a huge wound had appeared. The young man from the Peacock Spirit Clan was not in much of a better shape, and his face was contorted in pain. His hands had been shattered after clashing with Lin Mo several times¡­ One had to know that he was a demonic beast in human form. Although the Peacock Spirit Clan did not specialize in honing their physical bodies, they were still extremely powerful in their own right. Right now, he had only exchanged a dozen blows with Lin Mo, and yet, his bones had already been shattered. ¡°Looks like you two aren¡¯t all that you¡¯ve propped up yourselves to be. Anyhow, I¡¯ll be taking your lives.¡± Lin Mo stated. These words were like sharp knives stabbing into the hearts of the two of them. They were both top-notch geniuses, worthy of respect within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. As such, the fact that they were defeated this effortlessly against someone from an unknown background in a two on one fight was rather dispiriting¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, I will definitely make you pay for the humiliation you¡¯ve brought on me.¡± Yuan Hong roared furiously as the expression on his face gradually turned savage. In the center of his palm was a jade green talisman. It shone brilliantly for an instant before finally expanding and exploding in front of him, instantly engulfing Lin Mo¡­ ¡°This is at least a tier 9 offensive talisman¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Lin Mo was extremely familiar with the aura coming from this type of talisman. A tier 9 offensive talisman was sufficient to deal with an expert above tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Upon learning that Yuan Hong held such a powerful trump card, Lin Mo was once again reminded not to act recklessly. He immediately brought out his Origin Soul Puppet and activated the tier 8 defensive amulet he had obtained from a previous auction. ¡°Rumble!¡± A terrifying explosion rang out, as the aura of the talisman engulfed both Lin Mo and his Origin Soul Puppet. ¡°Huh!? How is this possible?¡± Yuan Hong was shocked by what he was seeing. The item he possessed was indeed a tier 9 offensive talisman, and it was incomparably powerful. He was certain that his sneak attack had caught Lin Mo off-guard, so even if he were to summon his puppet, there was no way he would be able to block it completely. ¡°This is a talisman given to me by the Secret Ghost Sect, how did you manage to block it?¡± Yuan Hong¡¯s body was trembling. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes glinted with killing intent as he dispersed the talisman¡¯s aura and rushed forward. Utilizing Traceless Wind, Lin Mo bounded forward and appeared behind Yuan Hong. With a thrust of his palm, he sent Yuan Hong flying into the aura that the tier 9 talisman had generated. ¡°No!!!¡± Yuan Hong cried out miserably. He was immediately affected by the aura, and his body was quickly covered in blood as he cried out repeatedly in pain. Fortunately for him, the strongest attack of the talisman was the first explosion it had generated, the very same attack that Lin Mo had blocked using his puppet and the tier 8 defensive amulet. The remaining effects were neutralized by his God Slayer Body, and thus, Lin Mo was able to escape unscathed. ¡°Even if it¡¯s a sneak attack, you¡¯re still no match for me. Now, it¡¯s time for you to pass on.¡± Lin Mo sneered as he slashed down with his sword, splitting Yuan Hong¡¯s body cleanly into two halves. ¡°Uh¡­ Ah.¡± Yuan Hong cried out in pain as he crawled with great difficulty, trying to get away from the place where the tier 9 talisman had exploded. ¡°Spurt.¡± In the next moment, Lin Mo followed up with another slash, which detached Yuan Hong¡¯s head from his body. Even his soul was unable to escape as Lin Mo had destroyed it with his powerful sword Qi. ¡°Did the Primordial Sun Holy Land make a deal with the Secret Ghost Sect?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. The Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s network of connections was really chaotic. The Secret Ghost Sect clearly refused to make any talismans above level seven. However, Yuan Hong had the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s talisman on him¡­ At this moment, in front of the dragon transformation pool, there was a large group of people sitting cross-legged. Suddenly, one of the young men opened his eyes and could not help but let out a long cry. Everyone was stunned. Was this not the Saint of the Yuan Yang Sacred Land, Yuan Cang? Why did he lose his composure? ¡°Yuan Cang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± An elder frowned. How could the Saint lose his composure like this? ¡°Yuan Hong¡­ was killed,¡± Yuan Cang stated in a grim tone. Just a moment ago, he had felt the death of his brother. He was certain of it¡­ ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked and found it unbelievable. Who would dare to attack the people of the Primordial Sun Holy Land? And it was Yuan Cang¡¯s younger brother, Yuan Hong, no less. Furthermore, Yuan Hong¡¯s combat strength was extremely powerful. He was known as the second Saint of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. He could go toe-to-toe with the princes and princesses of the royal family. Could it be¡­ No one dared to voice their thoughts. They worried that they would lose their lives if they were to speak out of turn. ¡°To think that you are royalty within the Peacock Spirit Clan.¡± On the other side, Lin Mo had forced the Peacock Spirit Clan youth to revert to his demonic beast form, but the latter no longer had the will to fight Lin Mo. Lin Mo activated Traceless Wind countless times to block the young Peacock Spirit Clan member from escaping. ¡°After killing you, I¡¯ll gift your body to Lil¡¯ Die as a present. I¡¯m sure the body of the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s royalty would make for a great cultivation resource for her.¡± Lin Mo wiped his saliva greedily as he thought about the possibilities. Speaking of which, the taste of a peacock demonic beast should be pretty good, right? ¡°Roar!¡± The five-colored peacock let out an angry cry. He was a royalty amongst the Peacock Spirit Clan! In the future, he might even evolve into a nine-colored peacock, but as of this moment, he was being suppressed by a mere human. Such humiliation was simply too great for him to bear. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± After suppressing the five-colored peacock once again, Lin Mo lost his patience. He swung Plain White Snow and beheaded the beast. As for the peacock¡¯s two previous servants he had encountered initially, they had already perished a while back. The battlefield finally quieted down. After packing up his spoils of war, Lin Mo walked to the side of the pond he had spotted earlier. As expected, the Silver Arowanas had already escaped. With such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Silver Arowanas to remain where they were. ¡°What a pity¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The chance to increase one¡¯s spirit energy was something that was hard to come by. he did not know when would he obtain such an opportunity again¡­ At the edge of the Dragon Transformation Pool, not long after Yuan Cang¡¯s outburst, another old man flew into a rage as he shot up from his seat. ¡°Who dares kill my son?¡± This was the leader of the Peacock Spirit Clan. He was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was not someone that most would dare to provoke. As such, his exclamation left most people in shock. Who would dare to kill his son? Chapter 226 - Gold Coin Grass ¡°Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Can you sense who the murderer is?¡± An old man asked, trying to calm the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader down. Upon hearing this, the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader closed his eyes and carefully determined whose aura was around his kin when he died. After a long period of analysis, the conclusion he reached made the whole place boil. The young clan leader of the Peacock Spirit Clan was killed by a mere human. Worse still, he was taken down alongside Yuan Hong of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. ¡°Could it be him?¡± Suddenly, the image of a young man appeared in Yuan Cang¡¯s mind. ¡°Little friend Yuan Cang, do you know who the murderer is?¡± The eyes of the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader flashed and he instantly appeared in front of Yuan Cang. Yuan Cang dared not dally around and hurriedly shot to his feet. The elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land greeted the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader and bowed. ¡°Senior, Yuan Hong once had an argument with someone in the ruins. That person¡¯s name was Lin Mo and he was in tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Yuan Cang answered. ¡°Only tier 12¡­¡± Everyone was stunned. A mere cultivator in the 12th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm should have stood no chance against two geniuses. It sounded ludicrous. ¡°He can¡¯t be the culprit then. The one who killed my son was a tier 16 Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.¡± The Peacock Spirit clan leader responded. He was certain of his analysis. Moreover, he was also aware that his son had died from taking in a lethally sharp Sword qi. ¡°Forget it. Please inform me once you¡¯ve located the true murderer, little friend Yuan Cang. The Peacock Spirit Clan would remember the favor that you have given us.¡± With that, the clan leader returned to his own base. The Primordial Sun Holy Land had many methods at their disposal. As such, there was a high chance that they could locate the culprit. However, such a task was easier said than done¡­ ¡°Senior, I am sorry for your loss. I will definitely take revenge for my brother. I will inform you once I have something concrete.¡± Yuan Cang cupped his hands and said. Obtaining the friendship of the Peacock Spirit Clan was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Everyone present looked at Yuan Cang with great envy. One had to know that although the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader had yet to enter the Nirvana Realm, he was actually very young. He had a boundless future waiting for him, and as things stood, he had a high chance of entering the Nirvana Realm in the future. To be able to earn the favor from such an expert was truly a rare opportunity. ¡­ At this moment, Lin Mo was still trying to find the Silver Arowanas. He discovered that there was more than meets the eye to the mist above him. Once the Silver Arowanas entered the mist, it was as if they had dived into water. It was extremely difficult to catch them once it happened. ¡°I still can¡¯t find them¡­¡±Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with helplessness. He expanded his soul energy to scan the area within a ten mile radius. Forget the Silver Arowana, he could not even detect a single demonic beast. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Lin Mo dove into the mist and searched around. It was extremely quiet inside, and it was seemingly isolated from the outside world. This made it extremely difficult for his soul energy to permeate through the mist, and as a consequence his awareness of his surroundings was also extremely low. After searching for a while without success, Lin Mo decided to give up. At this moment, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. Upon taking in the fragrance, his soul power was suddenly enhanced, and he could feel his senses sharpening¡­ ¡°This is the smell of the Silver Arowanas.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He followed the fragrance and soon felt that something was off. After many years of change, there was actually an undercurrent within the mist. Lin Mo followed the flow of spiritual energy and traveled far away. ¡°The Silver Arowanas might have followed the undercurrent.¡± Upon reaching this conclusion, Lin Mo did not hesitate for a single instance. He immediately followed the undercurrent. At the same time, he continuously radiated his soul power, hoping to locate any treasures that were hidden within the mist. To his surprise, he was actually successful. Following the undercurrent, he quickly located 7 Silver Arowanas. They were the ones that had escaped earlier. Their patterns and sizes were all the same. They were surrounding a golden aquatic plant, absorbing the pure energy emitted by it. ¡°Gold Coin Grass, a top-grade tier 8 spirit herb. It¡¯s a great item that can nourish one¡¯s soul power.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed, and he stealthily moved forward. In order to secure all of the arowanas, Lin Mo had even summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet to capture them all. As for himself, he picked up the Gold Coin Grass. ¡°Great, I caught all the Silver Arowanas and even nabbed a Gold Coin Grass in the process. Not a bad harvest, if I do say so myself.¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud and the Origin Soul Puppet returned to his side, along with 7 Silver Arowanas trapped within its spiritual energy. ¡°Boom!¡± A shocking Sword qi slashed towards Lin Mo¡¯s head. This made him furious. He took out Plain White Snow and glared in the direction of the attack. ¡°Show yourself, you coward!¡± ¡°Puff!¡± Another strong sword Qi came at him from his back, but Lin Mo had easily neutralized it with Plain White Snow. The powerful wave of energy caused the spiritual energy in the area to shake. The mist dispersed, revealing the land below him. ¡°Did you think that I¡¯m easy to pick on?¡± Lin Mo was furious. His attacker had attacked him twice now. Did they really think that he could not find them? He circulated the devouring power from the God Devouring Body and spread it out, forming a domain. All of the spiritual energy around Lin Mo was instantly absorbed and devoured by him. The mist was a product of the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. In fact, its energy was so unique that it had surpassed most forms of spiritual energy. Now that Lin Mo had absorbed the spiritual energy around him, the person who launched the sneak attack at him had no way to hide. Only then did Lin Mo notice that there were two groups of people attacking, and they seemed to be two mercenary groups. ¡°This target is too difficult to take on. Retreat.¡± After taking a look at Lin Mo, the one who looked like the leader ordered his men to retreat. ¡°No, don¡¯t leave. Stay.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. The Origin Soul Puppet appeared behind the mercenaries like a ghost and threw a punch. ¡°Boom!¡± A powerful force spread out. Even though these people reacted extremely well and immediately blocked it, due to the difference in their strength, they were all sent flying. ¡°What a powerful puppet¡­¡± Seeing this, the mercenary group on the other end dared not move a single muscle. They were afraid that they would enter Lin Mo¡¯s crosshairs as well¡­ ¡°Sir, please spare us.¡± Realizing they were outmatched, they immediately knelt down and begged Lin Mo to show mercy. ¡°Spare you? Why didn¡¯t you think of this before you attacked?¡± Lin Mo sneered. At this moment, the mercenaries had no other thoughts in their minds besides surviving. What else could they do, after all? ¡°Sir, we can compensate you with some spiritual stones. Please spare our lives¡­¡± A few people from afar also walked up and begged for mercy. ¡°That¡¯s right, sir. The reason we attacked in the first place was because we¡¯ve been eyeing the Gold Coin Grass for a long time. We¡¯ve been locked in battle with the demonic beast guarding it for a long time.¡± ¡°Despite going to great lengths to defeat the demonic beast, you just suddenly appeared and snatch our prize away, sir. It was for this reason that we attacked you. We didn¡¯t know who you were, we swear¡­¡± The two groups of people spoke one after another, giving a rough description of what had transpired. It turned out that there was a demonic beast guarding the Gold Coin Grass. If that was the case, he really had to thank these two groups of people. After all, without them, the Silver Arowanas might have been eaten by the demonic beast the moment they came over. In that case, he had no qualms with them. ¡°Is that so? If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯m at fault for stealing your prize¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, telling them to get up. ¡°We wouldn¡¯t dare to accuse you of such an act, sir. It seems that you are fated to obtain the Gold Coin Grass, not us. As such, it is rightfully yours.¡± The mercenaries stood up and continued. They dared not take the Gold Coin Grass from Lin Mo. After all, the puppet by Lin Mo¡¯s side was an existence that could annihilate with a single punch. Chapter 227 - On ¡°No, a gentleman does not take what belongs to others. I¡¯ll return this Gold Coin Grass to you.¡± Lin Mo stated with a smile. His words left both parties stunned and let out a bitter laugh. ¡°Sir, please don¡¯t make fun of us¡­¡± Unexpectedly, Lin Mo waved his hand and added, ¡°Of course, I expect some compensation for attacking me. How about this then, I¡¯ll auction off this Gold Coin Grass right here.¡± ¡°The one with the highest bid will get it. Wouldn¡¯t it be the best of both worlds?¡± Lin Mo clapped his hands and took out the Gold Coin Grass, saying, ¡°It¡¯s a tier 8 top-grade Gold Coin Grass. It¡¯s highly beneficial for the cultivation of the soul.¡± ¡°The starting price is 8 million low grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo announced the start of the auction while everyone was still stunned. ¡°Sir¡­ Are you serious?¡± A bald mercenary mustered up his courage and asked. After seeing Lin Mo nod his head, he licked his lips and said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll bid 10 million.¡± ¡°Alright, this brother here says that he¡¯ll bid 10 million. Don¡¯t you guys want the Gold Coin Grass? Hurry up and bid then. I¡¯m being serious here.¡± Lin Mo laughed. Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, a few of the mercenaries finally relaxed their nerves and participated in the auction. Perhaps due to both parties wanting to curry favor with Lin Mo, the bidding prices rose at 1 million intervals. ¡°30 million¡­¡± A middle-aged man made a bid. The price of 30 million had already far exceeded the market price for the product. Under normal circumstances, a stalk of Gold Coin Grass would only be sold at around 16 to 18 million spiritual stones. However, perhaps of their fear towards Lin Mo, they had raised the prices by nearly double the market rate. ¡°Fourth Blade, do you actually have 30 million spiritual stones? Please don¡¯t raise the price for no good reason¡­¡± Some of the mercenaries commented, doubting the middle-aged man¡¯s assets. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll have you all know that I managed to discover a small spiritual stone mine a few days ago. Since it was too much for me to manage alone, I sold it to a Holy Land and managed to receive a handsome pay.¡± Fourth Blade smugly exclaimed. Many people¡¯s eyes were filled with envy upon hearing his words. Even Lin Mo was surprised. A small-scale spirit mine was capable of generating at least one billion low-grade spiritual stones. Such a discovery was truly hard to come by. ¡°Alright, I guess that settles it. Congratulations to this brother for buying the Gold Coin Grass. Now, pay up, and we¡¯ll be off to our merry ways.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he handed the Gold Coin Grass to Fourth Blade. Upon receiving the pouch filled with spiritual stones from Fourth Blade and confirming its contents, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a tier 8 Gold Coin Grass ] [ Triggered 3,000 times rebate ] [ Obtained tier 9 mid-grade Illusory Spirit Grass ] A system notification rang out. He had obtained an Illusory Spirit Grass. It was a decent item that was also beneficial for the cultivation of the soul. It could be said to be the evolved version of the Gold Grass Coin. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s heart stirred, and he thought of the Silver Arowanas that he had just obtained. Should he auction off the Silver Arowanas, would he not obtain even better beasts that could increase his soul energy from the system¡¯s rebate? ¡°System, is your rebate function based on the effects of the treasures auctioned off?¡± Lin Mo asked inquisitively. [ The items received from auction rebates will belong to the same type as the items auctioned off. If the item auctioned off is a damaged treasure, there is a 90% chance of obtaining a fixed one from the rebate system. ] The system¡¯s reply left Lin Mo at a loss. The rebate system was not based on an item¡¯s effect, but their type. Although Lin Mo was guaranteed to obtain something with of a higher tier than Silver Arowanas, in truth, Lin Mo had preferred to keep the Silver Arowanas as is. ¡°Forget it, since I have 7 of them, I don¡¯t see any harm of auctioning one of them away¡­¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the group of mercenaries gathered before him. ¡°Everyone, I have a Silver Arowana that I intend to auction off. Are you all interested?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. This was a mutated beast that could increase one¡¯s soul power. Furthermore, it was extremely delicious, which was a rarity among cultivation items. They did not expect Lin Mo to willingly put it up for auction. This made them very surprised. ¡°Sir, Silver Arowanas are extremely precious. Are you sure about this?¡± Fourth Blade was the first to speak. He was very interested in the Silver Arowana. However, they had just offended Lin Mo not long ago, and yet, Lin Mo was now giving them benefits instead¡­ Sure, Lin Mo would still make money by auctioning the Silver Arowana off, but most would not be willing to part with such a precious item in the first place¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sure that you all have seen that I have seven of these creatures. As such, it matters little to me if I were to sell one of them away.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and brought out a Silver Arowana. ¡°This Silver Arowana is at least tier 9. As such, the starting bid is at 15 million low grade spiritual stones. Sounds reasonable, yes?¡± In reality, this was indeed a reasonable price. After venturing for several days in the ruins, those who managed to stay alive had managed to obtain a myriad of precious treasures. Some had discovered spirit mines, while others had located stashes of spiritual stones within some caves. Everyone was rich, and they were not lacking in low-grade spiritual stones¡­ As such, Lin Mo was certain that he could make a killing off them¡­ ¡°40 million low-grade spiritual stones, this is my absolute limit. If you guys can outbid me, I¡¯ll admit defeat.¡± Fourth Blade roared and bid 40 million in one go. This was his entire fortune. However, it was for a worthy cause. After all, by cooking the Gold Coin Grass together with the Silver Arowana, he would gain a massive boost in soul energy. He would not let such a huge opportunity to raise his soul energy slip by. In comparison to the potential gains, 70 million spiritual stones was insignificant. ¡°Looks like that Holy Land has given you quite a hefty reward, huh.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he completed the transaction with Fourth Blade. It was a short auction with no competition. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a tier 9 high-grade Silver Arowana ] [ Triggered 1,000 times auction rebate ] [ Obtained tier 9 high-grade Silver Striped Koi ] Lin Mo had never heard of such an exotic beast before, and thus, he opened his system space to inspect it. Within his space, swam a one-foot-long silver koi in a ball of water. Lin Mo felt that he had suffered a loss. This silver koi was tiny. Compared to the two-meter-long Silver Arowana, it was pitifully small. However, once Lin Mo saw the effect of the Silver Striped Koi, his perception was turned on its head. The Silver Striped Koi contained the power of the heavens and earth. As such, it would provide a great degree of protection when he eventually makes an attempt to break through the Nirvana Realm. In fact, it could even provide protection for those who possessed special physiques and were going through life-and-death tribulations. It was hard to imagine it as a mere food ingredient¡­ ¡°Perhaps, you were used to refine medicines during ancient times. I wonder whether there are any foodies who used you as a food ingredient instead¡­¡± Lin mo sighed. The Silver Striped Koi was actually worth it, after all. However, he did not plan on consuming it anytime soon. He doubted that he would have any issues breaking into the Nirvana Realm. Lil¡¯ Die, on the other hand, was in dire need of it. Every time she broke through her cocoon to become a butterfly was a life and death test. The koi was a fail-safe against the worst outcome. ¡°Sir, are the auctions over? Can we leave now?¡± Fourth Blade¡¯s voice rang out, interrupting Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. He noticed that the mercenaries were still waiting on the spot. It was likely that none of them would leave until he gave the word to do so. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Fourth Blade, you can be the first to leave. As an auctioneer, it¡¯s a basic rule for me to guarantee the safety of my customers.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, dismissing Fourth Blade. However, whether or not Fourth Blade would survive was none of Lin Mo¡¯s concern. After all, as someone who had willingly entered the ruins in search of treasure, it was natural for them to be prepared for the worst. ¡°Ah alright¡­¡± Fourth Blade took some time to process Lin Mo¡¯s words. However, once he finally understood, he thanked Lin Mo profusely and left. Chapter 228 - Exposed After watching Fourth Blade leave, Lin Mo looked at the others and said, ¡°You guys can leave after half an hour.¡± With that, Lin Mo left without looking back. He made sure to give the instruction in an icy tone. Upon hearing those words, the remaining mercenaries stood stock-still at their spots. ¡°You guys are free to disobey mean. However, do note that there are consequences if I were to catch you in the act¡­¡± The grounds went dead silent after that. If those guys were brave, they would undoubtedly chase after Fourth Blade¡¯s group. However, judging by how they had reacted to his instructions, it was clear that they did not have the gall to do so. In reality, they had no intention of going after Fourth Blade. Once their half an hour waiting period had gone by, they brought out their hand-drawn maps and looked for treasures elsewhere. Lin Mo rushed back to the Dragon Transformation Pool. Along the way, he encountered some spirit herbs and picked them up, delaying his progress. By the time he had arrived, the Dragon Transformation Pool was already on the verge of opening up. A very powerful aura emanated from it. It felt as if it could erupt at any moment. The moment Lin Mo arrived, the jade talisman that Bai Luo had given him fluctuated. Clearly, Bai Luo and Lin Die were nearby. However, Lin Mo had not discovered them. Clearly, they were hiding themselves. ¡°Looks like the tier 9 demonic beast egg is in Lin Die¡¯s hands, and it seems that it has drawn quite a large amount of attention of them¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. From the looks of things, he needed to take the initiative to show himself, or otherwise, it would be difficult for him to locate Bai Luo and the others¡­ However, just as Lin Mo was about to hide himself, he sensed a cold and sinister gaze directed towards him. ¡°Lin Mo, you really are a greedy b*stard. Yuan Hong¡¯s Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow has my mark on it, yet you still dare to carry it on you.¡± Yuan Cang revealed himself and roared furiously at him. ¡°Yuan Hong died at your hands¡­¡± Yuan Cang said coldly. The entire place was in an uproar. Everyone kept their distance from Lin Mo, not daring to stand beside him. That was because, on the other side, the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader was directing the same cold gaze as Yuan Cang towards him. ¡°Brat, did you kill my son, Kong Xuan?¡± The clan leader let out an angry roar. His figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Mo as he thrusted out his hand to grab Lin Mo. ¡°So fast¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The speed the clan leader was so fast that it looked like he had teleported. A stellar Sword Qi slashed out in front of Lin Mo. Using the momentum from the Sword Qi, he generated an up thrust that brought him backwards, allowing him to narrowly avoid the clan leader¡¯s claws. Following this, Lin Mo activated Traceless Wind to retreat several steps. However, before he could notice, the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s leader was already blocking Lin Mo¡¯s retreat path. ¡°Fellow Daoist Kong Xiu, is there any chance that this is a misunderstanding?¡± The space in front of Lin Mo rippled as an old man appeared to block the Peacock Spirit Clan leader¡¯s attack. At this point, Lin Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief. The person who made a move was the Su clan¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai. He had already noticed Lin Mo the moment he appeared. Up until the point when Lin Mo¡¯s identity was exposed, he was hesitating whether or not he should make a move. After giving it much thought, he decided that he should extend a helping hand. After all, the Su clan were Lin Mo¡¯s collaborators, and at the same time, as a family loyal to the eighth prince, not making a move now was tantamount to betrayal. If Lin Mo was deeply loved by the eighth prince, then the Su clan was finished. ¡°Su Hanhai, you dare stop me?¡± The Peacock clan leader flew into a rage and exchanged a palm strike with Su Hanhai. The two of them were evenly matched, with Su Hanhai being slightly on top. While repelling Kong Xiu, he also protected Lin Mo behind him. ¡°It¡¯s not to stop you, but rather, it¡¯s more of the fact that this person must not be harmed.¡± Su Hanhai explained indifferently. Although the Peacock Spirit Clan was strong, the eastern continent was the territory of the four Great Divine Empires. They were currently in the Yanhuang Divine Empire, a territory where relationships and ties to the imperial family were highly complicated. Many had pledged their loyalty to the imperial family in order to survive, which caused the network of relationships within the empire to become highly tangled. In the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s case, they were relying on the influence of a fossil-level ancestor who had yet to pass away, which was why they were safe and sound. However, this premise was only true if they do not provoke those whom they could not afford to offend¡­ ¡°Senior Su, there is no misunderstanding here. Lin Mo has indeed murdered my brother and Kong Xuan, so why aren¡¯t we allowed to exact our revenge on him?¡± Yuan Cang spoke out as killing intent surged within his eyes. The death of his brother Yuan Hong, had resulted in the Primordial Sun Holy Land forming good ties with the Peacock Spirit Clan. As such, they were not afraid of the eighth prince¡¯s backing that Lin Mo had. After all, the Primordial Sun Holy Land was also backed by an imperial family member of their own. Although they were not a prince, they were still a highly favored imperial consort. Moreover, with the foundation that the Primordial Holy Land possessed, they truly had no reason to fear the eighth prince¡­ ¡°You¡­¡± Su Hanhai was at a loss for words for a moment. In order to avoid Kong Xiu¡¯s pursuit, Lin Mo had already been exposed himself as being in tier 16 Perfect Realm of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Now that he had been exposed by Yuan Cang, even if he wanted to change the truth, he would not be able to do so. Refusing to admit it now would only bring more trouble later on. ¡°It was indeed I who killed them. However, they were the ones who made the first move,¡± Lin Mo said. He admitted his actions openly and even took out Yuan Hong¡¯s Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. ¡°Gasp.¡± Everyone was boiling with excitement as they looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Just what kind of background did Lin Mo hail from? Could he be a prince who was concealing his identity? Otherwise, why would he boldly admit that he had killed the Peacock Spirit Clan leader¡¯s son in front of everyone¡­ ¡°They were trying to kill me, so I killed them instead. If clan leader Kong Xiu still wishes to seek revenge, feel free to come at me,¡± Lin Mo stated frankly. ¡°However, I¡¯d advise you not to look down on me. If you end up losing, your reputation would suffer quite a massive blow.¡± Lin Mo was blatantly taunting Kong Xiu, causing Su Hanhai to be in a difficult position. ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, what are you trying to do?¡± Su Hanhai transmitted his question to Lin Mo helplessly. He was really in a dilemma. He needed to stop the two sides from exchanging blows. However, should the Sima Clan or Mu Clan elders launch a sneak attack while he was handling Kong Xiu, things would take a massive turn for the worst. ¡°Elder Su, don¡¯t worry. Just go along with me.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. He had a plan up his sleeves. One had to know that he was still in possession of a tier 9 attack talisman that he had received from the system¡¯s rebate. The power that it possessed was equivalent to a full-powered attack from a tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm martial artist. Although it was still a little lacking, if used as a sneak attack, it would still do massive damage to someone at the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. In addition to the terrain of the Dragon Transformation Pool, the mist lingering above had also made from a great hiding spot. Lin Mo leaped up and activated Traceless Wind. ¡°HMPH, none who threaten me can hope to survive.¡± The clan leader snorted and waved his hand. Several experts immediately flew out from the Peacock Spirit clan¡¯s ranks. The first who went after Lin Mo was an expert at the 22nd tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Five-colored divine light appeared on his body as he circulated the power of the five elements within him. ¡°I won¡¯t bully the weak. Kong Lei, capture him. Whoever that dares to interfere will be at war with the entirety of the Peacock Spirit Clan.¡± Kong Xiu directed those words at Su Hanhai. His intentions were crystal clear. ¡°Yes, clan leader.¡± The man Called Kong Lei nodded. Chapter 229 - The Peerless Genius, Lin Mo ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re Going? Whoever dares to offend the Peacock Spirit Clan, regardless of their backing, must die.¡± Following Kong Lei¡¯s statement, a five-colored divine ray of light was unleashed, enveloping the air with a torrent of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Lin Mo waved his fist, unleashing a wave of sword Qi that neutralized Kong Lei¡¯s moves. The gap between the two was huge, as they were a full six tiers apart. If Lin Mo was an ordinary person, the only chance that he had to survive would have been if he had possessed a spirit-grade weapon. Everyone was shocked. They could not believe that someone from tier 16 of the Dragon Transformation Realm was able to unleash a wave of Sword Qi this powerful. It had tore through the sky, and its force was so massive that most stood no chance at defending against it. Kong Lei¡¯s figure was forced back, and he had a grave look in his eyes as he stood in mid-air. Lin Mo was the same. He was pushed back by the five-colored divine light ray as well. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s body was filled with boundless Sword Qi. He held a long sword in his hand and stood there, ready to intercept Kong Lei¡¯s next attack. ¡°He is a peerless genius!¡± No one knew who shouted this, but no one refuted the claim. After all, Lin Mo¡¯s performance thus far was worthy of such an evaluation. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t hold this title for long.¡± Kong Lei sneered as he threw a punch towards Lin Mo. ¡°There¡¯s naturally a reason for others to call me that. Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t they bestow the title to you as well?¡± Lin Mo snarkly commented as he raised his fist and threw a similar punch. ¡°Bam!¡± A powerful force erupted between the two of them. The destructive power was astonishing. The ground below cracked open and was blasted away by the force of their blows. Sword Qi and penta-elemental light spewed out, causing the onlookers at the bottom to retreat. ¡°Interesting.¡± Kong Lei was surprised. He took a closer look at Lin Mo and realized that he was emitting a jet-black spiritual energy. It was as dark as ink, and it was highly mysterious. Lin Mo was also stunned. How could someone of Kong Lei¡¯s standard be at tier 22? Could he be slacking off in his cultivation¡­ All else aside, he definitely had not reached the Perfect Realm for his tier. This also caused his combat strength to decrease drastically. The strength of his physical body was actually about the same as Lin Mo¡¯s. Though the other party was still capable of manipulating the penta-elemental light which was infused with the power of the five elements. ¡°Humph, you¡¯re small fry to me.¡± Kong Lei taunted as penta-elemental divine light radiated from his body. The elements swirled within the light, looking as if it was a mini galaxy slowly gaining powerful momentum. He was using a powerful move. The moment he launched his fist forward, the divine peacock light morphed into a ten-feet-large peacock with the power of the five elements condensed within it. It was more than capable of destroying anything in its path. However, Lin Mo did not panic. He directed his attention forward, activating his God Devouring Body and forming a special domain around him. At the same time, he also unleashed his Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was very mysterious. ¡°Wow.¡± The battle shocked everyone. The combat prowess of the Peacock Spirit Clan was not to be trifled with. As soon as the divine penta-elemental light was unleashed, heaven and earth shook. Even the Dragon Transformation Pool in the distance shook. Regardless of the results of the battle, Lin Mo had already made a lasting impression on the folks present. Even if he were to lose, he would have gone out in a blaze of glory. After all, Lin Mo had managed to make Kong Lei, who was at tier 22 of the Dragon Transformation Realm go all out. A person of such talent was comparable to the holy sons of the various holy lands. One had to factor in the 6 tier gap in cultivation between the two of them. Such a gap could only be made up by a peerless genius. The energy of the five elements dissipated in mid-air. When the dust had settled and when Lin Mo and Kong Lei¡¯s figures appeared, everyone turned pale with shock and disbelief. Kong Lei was unscathed as he proudly looked down at everyone in mid-air. Since he had the advantage in terms of cultivation tiers, such a result was to be expected. However, Lin Mo was also unscathed. This left most scratching their heads as they attempted to figure out how Lin Mo had achieved such a feat. ¡°Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual energy is so strange. I can¡¯t see through it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not the only one. Look at the peacock clan leader and the Su clan¡¯s patriarch.¡± Someone reminded them. At this moment, Kong Xiu and Su Hanhai had looks of confusion on their faces. It was as if they too, were unable to decipher what was happening. Everyone was shocked. Could Lin Mo really be a peerless genius? ¡°Not bad kid, but you¡¯re still going to die. No one can survive the peacock divine light.¡± Kong Lei stated. The Peacock Spirit Clan was an extremely powerful race among the demonic beasts. As such, his statement was not completely baseless. Kong Lei took a step forward, and a powerful aura spread out as he glared down at Lin Mo. Peacock divine light erupted, and several inscriptions of Dao principles appeared. In the end, the principles combined with one another to form a divine blade infused with five elements. Upon obtaining his weapon, Kong Lei slashed down at Lin Mo. The five elemental powers spread out, enveloping both heaven and earth. At this moment, Kong Lei was like a divine entity, delivering judgment unto Lin Mo¡­ The power contained within the move was immense, and it was hard to resist. ¡°Enough with this! You stand there all high and mighty when you aren¡¯t even that strong!?¡± Lin Mo roared angrily. His eyes were ice-cold as he unleashed the full power of his God Devouring Body. Majestic Sword Qi poured out of him and into Plain White Snow. This was the Sword Qi that was derived from the Soul Devouring Art. Lin Mo manipulated it such that it would work just like Ten Thousand Stars Arrival. However, the power of the move was absolutely terrifying. Lin Mo held the sword in one hand and formed a hand seal with the other. Following this, he then stepped forward and prepared to face off against Kong Lei. Lin Mo looked as if he was using the same move as before. There were no visible changes, but the power behind his blade had increased by a large margin. Upon exchanging blows, the collision between their attacks created massive shockwaves that gave the onlookers at the bottom quite a fright. This time, Lin Mo¡¯s Sword Qi was immensely sharp. It contained the laws of Dao, which allowed it transcend most techniques and spells. It was the power of Dao in its pure, unadulterated form. Everyone knew that most abilities related to raw Dao were essentially spirit-grade. As such, the move Lin Mo used was either a quasi-spirit-grade move, or a true spirit-grade one¡­ ¡°How is this possible? It should be impossible for a rogue cultivator to acquire a technique of this grade in the Yanhuang Empire!¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Perhaps his luck is extremely good and he has obtained some world-shaking inheritance.¡± However, no one could tell what technique Lin Mo was using as his movements were extremely crude. They were not worthy of being called sword moves. All that was clear to them was that he was utilizing Sword Qi. Moreover, it was Sword Qi honed to its limits. At this moment, Lin Mo was like a sword immortal that had descended to the mortal world. With a raise of his hand, he cleaved apart the five colored light with his immensely powerful Sword Qi. Kong Lei¡¯s expression changed drastically. His divine peacock light had been broken through. This had gone completely against his expectations. After all, even experts of the same realm would find it difficult to cleave apart his divine peacock light with a single sword strike. After careful consideration, Kong Lei finally realized that his opponent was indeed a peerless genius, one capable of using a spirit-grade cultivation technique. ¡°Crash!¡± A pitch-black Sword Qi hurtled over and almost hit Kong Lei. Fortunately, he had managed to dodge it in time, or else he would have been severely injured. This caused him to be greatly alarmed. Especially since he was several tiers higher than Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation rank. Had Lin Mo been even a tier higher in rank, would Kong Lei be able to face him? The answer was likely no, and this terrified Kong Lei greatly. He must cut down Lin Mo in this battle. If not, he would become an unstoppable monster in the future¡­ The battle between the two of them came to a halt. Neither of them attacked again, and instead, they were eyeing each other with great vigilance. Chapter 230 - Making It His Own ¡°Senior Kong Lei seems to be going easy on the youngster. Let me take on Lin Mo instead.¡± Yuan Cang flew up and arrived at Kong Lei¡¯s side, intending to take his place. His body emitted a scorching aura like a blazing sun. Divine Flames rippled across his skin, and he was incomparably resplendent. Lin Mo had once fought with his younger brother, Yuan Hong, and killed him. Both of them had a dense fire elemental aura. However, Yuan Cang¡¯s aura was clearly stronger than Yuan Hong¡¯s, and it was not just a little stronger. Under Kong Xiu¡¯s instructions, Kong Lei relented his position to Yuan Cang and had him deal with Lin Mo instead. Everyone¡¯s interest was piqued. The previous fight had featured a senior fighting against a junior. Although it was a spectacular battle, Lin Mo was constantly in the spotlight. As a result, Kong Lei had inadvertently became the stepping stone for Lin Mo¡¯s reputation. Now that Yuan Cang was making a move, perhaps everyone would finally be able to witness a battle for the ages. The battle was about to erupt. Yuan Cang was well aware of Lin Mo¡¯s strength. As such, he unleashed his full strength right from the start, causing blazing flames to gush out. On the other side, the numerous elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land also became nervous as they watched the great battle unfold above them. This was especially true for the leading elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s expedition team, who was looking at Su Hanhai very nervously. He was only at the 28th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and as such, if it came to it, he would not be a match for Su Hanhai. Should Yuan Cang win the battle and stoke Su Hanhai¡¯s ire, the Primordial Sun Holy Land would most likely be wiped out. ¡°Rumble!¡± Yuan Cang¡¯s weapon was a blazing long spear. The tip of the spear was engulfed in flames, and it emitted a scintillating divine glow. The body of the spear was engraved with fire runes, and the power it exuded was tremendous. The expressions of everyone present changed. His weapon was a tier 9 divine spear. It was rare to see a tier 9 magic weapon within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. In addition to Yuan Cang¡¯s already powerful combat strength, the spear had served to enhance his combat prowess even further. Sword Qi shot up like a rainbow, piercing through the flames and blocking the falling spear shadows. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm. He no longer required the assistance of his Origin Spirit Puppet to deal with Yuan Cang. Although he was aware of Yuan Cang¡¯s strength, he was not afraid of him. Now that he had mastered a fraction of the God Devouring Body¡¯s power, Lin Mo¡¯s combat prowess had increased exponentially. Moreover, after exchanging several blows with Kong Lei, the image of the Penta-elemental Divine Light was concretely imprinted on his mind. After reliving the scene, Lin Mo felt as if he had gained a newfound understanding of the technique. However, his understanding had only extended to the primordial elemental runes utilized in the technique. The divine light portion of the technique was still a complete mystery to him. Lin Mo leaped into action. While observing Yuan Cang¡¯s flames, he sheathed Plain White Snow and spread out his Soul Devouring Art, consuming all the spiritual energy around him, and forming a barrier against Yuan Cang¡¯s flames. While all this was happening, all kinds of runes and symbols gradually appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. They were all the fundamental runes of creation. ¡°Whoosh!¡± A flow of energy erupted from within Lin Mo¡¯s body. It was both mystical and organic in nature. It felt as if it had been dwelling within Lin Mo¡¯s body the whole time. ¡°God Devouring Body¡­ Soul Devouring Technique¡­ Consume both heaven and earth¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s body radiated an even more intense wave of power. His energy rolled off his body and enveloped the sky in a multitude of colors. The power of the five fundamental elements manifested within his body. It was the power he had devoured while he was fighting against Kong Lei. The true power of the God Devouring Body was not to devour an opponent¡¯s power to supplement their own. Rather, it was to turn something meant to harm oneself into their own power. It would fuse the power meant for harm into one¡¯s own body, and while the power could not be utilized, it was more than capable of strengthening oneself. ¡°God Devouring Body¡­ Soul Devouring Technique¡­ Consume both heaven and earth¡­¡± Following Lin Mo¡¯s outburst of power, he then raised his hand and blocked Yuan Cang¡¯s flaming long spear with the tip of his finger. ¡°Huh? How did this kid suddenly become this powerful?¡± Yuan Cang could not comprehend what was happening. All he knew was that Lin Mo was now superior to him. Lin Mo opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and his pupils were like an abyss. It was as if they contained boundless strength. Yuan Cang¡¯s expression was solemn. Lin Mo¡¯s aura caused the flames around him to dim. Yuan Cang was as if his strength was being drained. Although it was not obvious, to Yuan Cang, it seemed like¡­ His spiritual energy was being devoured by Lin Mo bit by bit¡­ ¡°Dragon Thrust!¡± With a roar, Yuan Cang thrust his flaming spear forward in an attempt to force Lin Mo back¡­ ¡°Devour.¡± Lin Mo raised his head. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and so too did the clothes on his body. A ball of pitch-black spiritual energy manifested in his hands, turning into a black hole that met the spear head-on. The technique did not generate any sort of explosion, nor were there any manifestation of runic symbols. Silence fell upon the skies. Once Yuan Cang¡¯s long spear came into contact with the black hole in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, the flames on its tip were rapidly extinguished. However, only Yuan Cang, who was the wielder of the technique, understood that the flames were not being extinguish, but rather, they were being consumed. Yuan Cang¡¯s attack contained an extremely terrifying amount of energy, but it was unable to break through Lin Mo¡¯s defense. It was too strange. Lin Mo¡¯s fighting style was completely different from before. Back when he was fighting against Kong Lei, he unleashed blast after blast of Sword Qi. He stood tall in the air and was as steady as Mount Tai. However, his current fighting style produced no sound nor movement. His black holes seemed to be able to destroy everything, and Yuan Cang¡¯s flames were unable to penetrate them. When Yuan Cang¡¯s attack had finally exhausted its power, the long spear hummed, and it was able to break free from the black hole. The black hole in Lin Mo¡¯s hand also disappeared shortly after. ¡°Yuan Cang¡¯s powerful attack was completely nullified¡­¡± Everyone turned pale with fright. After a long period of time, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Mo was powerful. ¡°He¡¯s indeed very powerful¡­¡± An old man appeared in front of Yuan Cang and prevented him from making any rash moves. ¡°It¡¯s an elder from the Primordial Sun Holy Land, Zhang Zhong!¡± An onlooker exclaimed. Zhang Zhong¡¯s sudden appearance had left many confused. Could he be planning to make a move? However, if that was the case, the Su family¡¯s patriarch would probably not let him off easily. The Primordial Sun elder was at the 28th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Regardless of how powerful Lin Mo was, surely he was no match for the elder. ¡°Yuan Cang, you still have a bright future ahead of you. Don¡¯t get too invested into this battle.¡± Zhang Zhong commented. He did not want the two of them to continue fighting. ¡°Elder Zhang Zhong, move aside. Do you really think that I¡¯m not his match?¡± Yuan Cang said coldly. Although Lin Mo¡¯s methods were strange, Yuan Cang too, was not utilizing his full strength. It was unknown who would emerge victorious at the end of it all. In the distance, Su Hanhai¡¯s brows were also furrowed. He was keeping a close eye on the Primordial Sun duo. Noticing Su Hanhai¡¯s gaze, sweat gradually appeared on Zhang Zhong¡¯s forehead. He could not afford to attract Su Hanhai¡¯s ire. He needed to tread carefully¡­ ¡°Holy son, the Dragon Transformation Pool will open in a day. Even if you win, you will be exhausted and likely too injured to participate.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not worth it to miss out on an opportunity as rare as this,¡± Zhang Zhong added, unwilling to give in. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s put a stop to this brawl, shall we?¡± Noticing Zhang Zhong¡¯s eagerness to put a stop to the battle, Su Hanhai interjected himself into their conversation. He too, did not wish for Lin Mo to fight any longer. ¡°You can forget about a ceasefire.¡± Kong Xiu, who was standing afar, refused to back down. Chapter 231 - : The Imperial Familys Arrival Kong Xiu¡¯s anger flared as he glared down at Lin Mo. His hatred towards Lin Mo for killing his son was irreconcilable. The threat of Su Hanhai alone was not enough to dissuade Kong Xiu from seeking revenge against Lin Mo. ¡°Tsk, old man, do you really think I¡¯m afraid of you? Come at me if you dare. Let¡¯s see who¡¯ll be the one to die today.¡± Lin Mo was also mad. The frustration that was accumulating as a result of constantly being targeted had reached a breaking point, and he had let it all loose at Kong Xiu. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re courting death,¡± Kong Xiu snapped back. ¡°Hehe, fellow Daoist Kong Xiu, if you insist on making your move, I wouldn¡¯t mind making a move as well.¡± ¡°I can you out with Su Hanhai, at the very least..¡± A slightly aged voice sounded, attracting everyone¡¯s gaze. ¡°It¡¯s the Mu family¡¯s patriarch, Mu Ming.¡± He was yet another powerhouse at the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. There were now three tier 31 powerhouses present on scene. The onlookers were very excited. Powerhouses of this caliber usually kept a low profile. The opportunity to witness this many of them at action made everyone excited. ¡°I appreciate your kindness, but I don¡¯t have a particularly good impression of your Mu family.¡± Kong Xiu¡¯s words stunned Lin Mo. Joining hands with Mu Ming to get rid of Lin Mo was supposed to be a fantastic proposal. As such, Lin Mo could not fathom the reason behind Kong Xiu¡¯s refusal. ¡°Could there be a grudge between the two of them?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as he looked at Su Hanhai in the distance. ¡°Cough cough, this is a grudge between the older generation. Kong Xiu originally had astonishing talent and wasn¡¯t much weaker than Yuan Cang at his age.¡± Su Hanhai lowered his voice and explained to Lin Mo about Kong Xiu¡¯s circumstances. It turned out that the Yanhuang Empire had been suppressing the cultivators within its borders for hundreds of years. The current emperor was one of the princes who had fought for the throne in the past, and he had once been looked down upon. Later on, with the help of the Peacock Spirit Clan, the current emperor managed to overturn his predicaments and eventually, he managed to ascend to the throne. However, upon ascending to the throne, the emperor worried that Kong Xiu would rebel against him. ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Mo was stunned by the emperor¡¯s thought process. ¡°Hear me out.¡± Su Hanhai smiled. Kong Xiu naturally did not have any intention of rebelling. However, since the emperor¡¯s suspicions were already aroused, there was nothing Kong Xiu could do to convince him otherwise. After all, Kong Xiu was known as the number one genius of the Yanhuang Divine Empire back then. His glory surpassed even that of the emperor. As such, the moment the opportunity to be rid of Kong Xiu presented itself, the emperor immediately seized it. One time, when the two of them were out on an excursion, they were ambushed. Although Kong Xiu tried his best to protect the emperor, the two of them had still ended up getting injured. ¡°Upon returning to the imperial capital, the emperor used Kong Xiu¡¯s inability to protect him as an excuse to remove his military authority and to retract his official position.¡± Su Hanhai shook his head. He despised the emperor¡¯s actions. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to let his family submit to the emperor in the first place. At that time, Kong Xiu was disheartened. However, since his opponent was the emperor, he could do nothing to him. Left with no other choice, he was forced to return to the his clan. However, while he was recuperating, he realized that his dantian had been severely injured to the point where it was difficult to repair. The Peacock Spirit Clan used up countless resources just so they could maintain Kong Xiu¡¯s cultivation level. Nevertheless, the damage had been done. His talent for cultivation had been crippled. While the geniuses from his batch had broken into the Nirvana Realm one after another, his progress had halted. All he could do was to watch with envy as they surpassed him¡­ ¡°The Mu family is backed by the imperial family. Due to this, he hates them very much¡­¡± Once Su Hanhai finished speaking, he spotted Kong Xiu glaring at him from afar. Realizing that Kong Xiu¡¯s temper was flaring at this moment, he tactfully shut his mouth. ¡°Someone from the imperial family has arrived!¡± At this moment, someone announced the imperial family¡¯s arrival, startling everyone, including Kong Xiu, Mu Ming, and the other powerhouses¡­ ¡°Which prince are they affiliated with?¡± Shocked by the announcement, Su Hanhai mentally prayed that it was not a rival faction. He needed them to be under the eighth prince. Otherwise, should another powerhouse arrive and attempt to kill Lin Mo, Su Hanhai would be overwhelmed. ¡°Don¡¯t panic, it¡¯s one of our own.¡± Lin Mo comforted him, making Su Hanhai feel at ease. The crowd opened up a path to reveal more than a dozen people dressed in moon-white clothes riding atop a flying bird. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± The corner of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. Why is this girl¡­ At this moment, Qianqian was no longer dressed the same as before. Instead of her usual attire of black robes, bamboo hat, and an executioner¡¯s waist tag hanging from her waist, she was now in a moon-white dress. Her gorgeous presence caused Lin Mo to nod his head in praise. While on her flying bird, Qianqian looked around before finally locking her gaze onto Lin Mo. Upon noticing him, her face instantly turned cold, and she gritted her teeth tightly while she glared down at him. ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Qianqian, did any of these people offend you?¡± An old man sitting at the front turned his head around and said with a smile. ¡°Elder Mo, he¡¯s a friend of mine. We used to have our differences in the past, but we¡¯re now friends.¡± Qianqian bowed her head and answered. ¡°Oh!¡± The old man called Elder Mo shifted his gaze towards Lin Mo. Upon noticing him, Elder Mo narrowed his eyes. In that instant, Lin Mo felt as if he was about to be seen through. The old man¡¯s strength was extremely terrifying. However, in the next moment, the Soul Devouring Art in his body activated. That feeling of prying instantly disappeared, but it still made Lin Mo feel nervous¡­ ¡°Interesting¡­¡± Elder Mo nodded and did not pursue the matter. His gaze shifted momentarily to Su Hanhai before moving away. ¡°He¡¯s at least half-a-step into the Nirvana Realm. he¡¯s stronger than me¡­¡± Su Hanhai stated. The old man was truly a terrifying existence. ¡°How does he compare to the old man who appeared at the last auction?¡± Lin Mo asked. Luo Haoyu¡¯s strength was the strongest Lin Mo had ever seen. Perhaps he was also Jiang Xiyue¡¯s strongest subordinate¡­ However, Lin Mo was unable to grasp just how strong he was back then. ¡°There¡¯s no competition. The last one was definitely at the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, he was at a rather high tier of the Nirvana Realm.¡± Su Hanhai shook his head and said with certainty. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. His prediction back then was spot-on. ¡°Qianqian, your friend seems to have encountered some trouble. Why don¡¯t you go down and help him?¡± Elder Mo suggested with a smile. His expression was very peaceful. ¡°Yes!¡± Qianqian bowed respectfully before jumping down from the bird and appearing in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Cough cough, Miss Qianqian, long time no see. There¡¯s no need to hate me so much¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little embarrassed. He scratched his nose and said. ¡°Hmph, you still have the gall to say that?¡± Qianqian glared at Lin Mo before turning to look at Su Hanhai. In contrast to her earlier behavior, she greeted Su Hanhai respectfully. ¡°This isn¡¯t a good place to talk. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Qianqian turned around and spoke to Elder Mo who was on the flying bird. After getting permission, she left with Lin Mo and Su Hanhai. At this moment, only Mu Ming was left in the air. Kong Xiu too, was also standing below and staring blankly as they departed. Kong Xiu and Yuan Cang were mad, but they dared not act recklessly. As such, they had no choice but to watch as Qianqian dragged Lin Mo away¡­ ¡°How dare you use Her Highness¡¯ reputation as your shield! Worse still, you even solicited the help of MY men, mine! I should execute you right now for this crime!¡± Upon their arrival at a hidden area, Qianqian glared down at Lin Mo and chided him. Su Hanhai immediately bowed and exclaimed, ¡°Young lady, the Su family has sincerely defected to the eighth prince. Our loyalty is to her Highness and her alone¡­¡± Su Hanhai was terrified. Should the eighth prince abandon the Su family, they would have to face the Peacock Spirit Clan and the Primordial Sun Holy Land all alone. Faced with such powerful opponents, they would undoubtedly be exterminated¡­ Lin Mo was helpless. Qianqian really knew how to hold a grudge¡­ ¡°Rise, Elder Su. Her Highness appreciates your loyalty.¡± Qianqian helped Su Hanhai up. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to business. I am both here to help as well as to assign a mission to the both of you.¡± Qianqian brought out two scrolls and handed them to Lin Mo and Su Hanhai respectively. Chapter 232 - Yanhuang Board of Fame Su Hanhai received the scroll as if he had been granted amnesty. From that point onward, so long as the eighth prince retained her standing, the Su family would be kept safe. The only scenario that Su Hanhai had to be cautious about was the other princes taking out the eight prince¡­ However, this was not something that he should or could dictate. The only choice he had in this matter was to do his job to the best of his ability, and the rest was all up to fate¡­ Lin Mo took over the scroll as well. He was curious as to what Jiang Xiyue had sent over. He opened it up and saw that it was not a mission, but a list. ¡°Yanhuang Board of Fame¡± More than 90% of the geniuses in the Yanhuang Dynasty were recorded on it. Anyone who was registered in the list were among the best of the best. His interest was piqued. He searched through the list and before long, he found a familiar name. 23rd place: Yuan Cang of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. The moment he was born, Divine Flames filled the sky, infusing him with the principles of Dao, and forming a spirit-grade cultivation technique in his body. This news shocked Lin Mo greatly. To think that his spirit-grade cultivation technique had come about naturally¡­ ¡°No wonder his flames were that strong. Had I not possessed the God Devouring Body, I would likely have steered away from him,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. At the same time, even someone as powerful as Yuan Cang was unable to make it into the top 20 within the ranking board. The Yanhuang Divine Empire was indeed filled with various powerhouses. Despite the royal family¡¯s efforts to cull external influences, many powerful individuals were still born. ¡­ 18th on the ranking list: Qi Tao of the Green Sea Palace. Through the innate properties of his cultivated attribute, he had once defeated Yuan Cang in a single move. ¡­ 12th on the ranking list: The second young master of the Heavenly King Mansion, Jin Yu. He had once received praise from the emperor and was lucky enough to receive permission to enter the royal scripture depository to pick out a spirit-grade martial art of his choice. 8th place on the ranking list: The first young master of the Heavenly King Mansion, Jin Lie, a friend of the crown prince. 6th place on the ranking list: Jiang Xiyue ¡­ 1st place on the ranking list: Crown prince, Jiang Cheng As he scanned through the list, Lin Mo discovered Jiang Xiyue being listed in 6th place, and this had shocked him. It was through this that he realized his behavior back in Lin City was no different from courting death¡­ At that time, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s was around the 12th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm¡­ ¡°Damn, is the royal family actually rich in resources, or is she really that talented¡­¡± Lin Mo praised. At the same time, there was a message on the side of the scroll, instructing him to kill a certain someone if he had the chance. ¡°Yuan Cang is a good friend of the seventh prince. The Primordial Sun Holy Land has already forged close ties to the seventh prince. Should the opportunity present itself, eliminate Yuan Cang.¡± This was not an order. In fact, at this point of their relationship, Jiang Xiyue would never order Lin Mo to do anything. However, Lin Mo would not refuse such a request. Coincidentally, he also had a bone to pick with Yuan Cang. As such, he would gladly find an opportunity to kill him in the Ancient Flame Ruins. ¡°Your subordinate accepts the order. I will definitely assist Lin Mo!¡± Upon reading through the contents of the scroll, Su Hanhai responded respectfully. The order he received was very simple. No matter what Lin Mo had set off to do, he was to do his best to assist him. Should he do as he was told, the Su family would become the number one family reigning over the Ancient Flame City. Although he did not understand where the eighth prince¡¯s confidence for such a claim had come from, since it was an order, he would gladly carry it out. ¡°Okay, this is from Her Highness. Consider it a gift for your loyalty.¡± Qianqian brought out two jade bottles which were emitting extremely rich in heaven and earth spiritual energy, causing Su Hanhai and Lin Mo to widen their eyes. ¡°A tier 9 top-grade spirit pill, a Nurturing Pill. When attempting to breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm, this pill is capable of raising the odds of success by around 20%.¡± Qianqian explained what she knew about the item. Since Su Hanhai was only one step away from entering the Nirvana Realm, the Nurturing Pill was perfect for him. Moreover, Su Hanhai¡¯s body had also suffered very serious internal injuries, life-threatening ones at that. Should his injuries remain untreated, breaking through to the Nirvana Realm would always pose a problem for him. ¡°In addition, Her Highness is aware that you are currently wounded. To treat these injuries, Her Highness has prepared a tier 9 low-grade Earth Core Pill for you.¡± Once Qianqian had finished explaining, she handed a jade bottle to Su Hanhai and said, ¡°The ruins are full of dangers. Your injuries will undoubtedly be a burden for you. As such, please take this Earth Core Pill as soon as possible.¡± ¡°As for the Nurturing Pill, I¡¯ll give it to you once you¡¯ve assisted Lin Mo and turned the Su family into the number one family in Ancient Flame City.¡± Naturally, Qianqian would not give him all his rewards in one go. However, since the treatment for Su Hanhai¡¯s injuries could not be delayed, she had chosen to give him the Earth Core Pill first. Nevertheless, that reward alone was already enough to bring Su Hanhai to the verge of tears. They were tears of gratitude. Now, with the temptation of the Nurturing Pill, how could he not work hard? ¡°I appreciate the eighth prince¡¯s kindness,¡± Su Hanhai responded excitedly and swallowed the Earth Core Pill whole. He was extremely excited. The injuries that had troubled him for years was finally recovering. How could he not be excited? Although there was a risk in being loyal to the eighth prince, the benefits had more than outweighed the cons¡­ ¡°Alright, I have to go now. This is for you.¡± Following this, Qianqian grabbed a spatial bag and handed it to Lin Mo. ¡°Keep 30 percent of the spiritual stone profits for yourself. Hand the rest back over to Her Highness.¡± It was through this that Lin Mo learned of the purpose of the imperial family¡¯s visit. It was to attend the auctions taking place in the ruins. Due to the opening of the ruins, it was only a matter of time before a hoard of tier 9 treasures would appear in the markets. There might even be an oversupply of them. It was likely that there quite a number of spirit-grade treasures would appear among them. As such, the emperor had sent men over to search for these spirit grade treasures, and naturally, the auction houses were the first choice for them to investigate. Should the auctioneers be sensible enough to sell their goods to the imperial family, they would be able to obtain a considerable amount of profit. On the other hand, should they actively act against the emperor¡¯s interests, they would be disposed of¡­ ¡°The old emperor is really a narrow-minded fool¡­¡±Lin Mo ridiculed. By doing so, would the emperor not chase all the geniuses within the Yanhuang Empire away? ¡°I don¡¯t know what he¡¯ll do.¡± Qianqian curled her lips. Once she was done with her explanations, she turned around and left. Lin Mo looked at the treasures within the spatial bag and was immediately shocked. There were not many treasures, numbering only to around a hundred of them. However, without exception, they were all tier 9 treasures. It was a shocking, no, terrifying sight to behold. Lin Mo even found a scroll. Although it was incomplete, it was nevertheless a shocking discovery. After all, it was a spirit-grade martial art scroll. This made Lin Mo extremely excited. By auctioning the item off, he would be able to obtain a complete spirit-grade martial art scroll. This was a prospect that excited him greatly¡­ ¡°Elder Su, let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo and Su Hanhai had returned to the Dragon Transformation Pool. This time, no one looked for trouble with them. Due to Qianqian¡¯s appearance, very few had dared to provoke Lin Mo¡­ However, Yuan Cang was constantly glaring at Lin Mo with a face full of anger. He looked as if he wanted to eat Lin Mo alive. However, due to the elders by his side stopping him, he did not make a move. Ever since the appearance of the royal family member, no more chaos ensued. No one dared to stir any trouble, and with that, a day had quietly went by. When the Dragon Transformation Pool was on the verge of opening up, an endless amount of energy erupted, and an intense multicolored light spread out in all directions. The mist in the sky was instantly absorbed into the Dragon Transformation Pool. ¡°So the mist actually originates from the Dragon Transformation Pool, huh.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. This might not be the first time the Dragon Transformation Pool had every opened. Over the countless years, it had more than likely erupted countless times. Each time it erupted, it would spew out the energy it had accumulated, filling the entire space with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that served to nourish all living things. In the ensuing eruptions, it would absorb the spiritual energies that remained unabsorbed to form a cycle with no wastage¡­ Chapter 233 - Wandering Cultivator, Ling Feng ¡°Boom.¡± At this moment, a battle erupted in the air in the distance. There were two figures there. One of them was dressed in white and had a delicate and charming appearance. She held a bright silver long spear in hand. With each thrust and lunge of her spear, the surrounding space seemed to warp, as if it was incapable of withstanding its pressure. On the other side, a young man held an ancient book, and a white tiger with two wings was located underneath him. The two of them were embroiled in battle. It was an intense battle that had taken place right as soon as the Dragon Transformation Pool opened. Between the two individuals, floated a jade seal infused with dense spiritual energy. ¡°According to the map, that seal is the key to entering the Dragon Transformation Pool. Only those who possess the seal are allowed to enter.¡± Someone spoke up, wanting to snatch the jade seal for himself. Meanwhile, many others had shot off in other directions. This was because when the Dragon Transformation Pool erupted, many jade seals were spat out. They were the keys to entering the pool. While everyone was making their move, Lin Mo was prepared to attack and kill Yuan Cang. Since they were already enemies, and Jiang Xiyue also wished for him to kill Yuan Cang, there was nothing to hesitate about. However, just as he was about to make his move, he caught a glimpse of the shocking battle in the distance from the corner of his eye. ¡°It¡¯s Bai Luo.¡± Lin Mo was surprised. How did the little girl provoke such a powerful person. ¡°He¡¯s holding an ancient book in his hand. That must make him the individual ranked 15th on Yanhuang Board of Fame, the Wandering Cultivator, Ling Feng.¡± Although he was stated as a wandering cultivator in the ranking board, very few had believed the statement to be true. Most reckoned that he was in the imperial family¡¯s pockets, as he would likely have been eliminated had that not been the case. Lin Mo decided to assist Bai Luo without an ounce of hesitation. However, at the next moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from behind him. A punch was aimed at his back. Lin Mo leaped into the air, dodging the expert¡¯s attack deftly. ¡°Kong lei.¡± Lin Mo had identified his attacker. ¡°Little b*stard, hand over your life!¡± Kong lei sneered. The peacock¡¯s divine light shone brightly, threatening to take Lin Mo¡¯s life. ¡°Old man, I have business to attend to. I can¡¯t be bothered to waste my time on you.¡± Lin Mo replied as he flew forward. Along the way, Lin Mo spotted several jade seals. However, they were all quickly snatched up by others who then immediately entered the Dragon Transformation Pool. Time waits for no man. Lin Mo had no intention of squandering his time to fight against Kong Lei. Behind him, Kong Lei was anxious and he was chasing after Lin Mo at full speed. Unfortunately, Lin Mo¡¯s Traceless Wind was too fast. Ever since he had gained an understanding of the Soul Devouring Art, Lin Mo¡¯s physique had gained a massive improvement. His speed was way faster than before. In a blink of an eye, he had already vanished ahead, leaving only afterimages behind. ¡°B*stard, I swear, the moment I catch you, I¡¯ll¡­¡± Kong Lei roared angrily. He knew that he would not be able to catch up to Lin Mo. On the battlefield in front of Lin Mo, Bai Luo and Ling Feng¡¯s battle had already reached its climax. All sorts of martial art techniques were displayed. Spear shadows pierced through the sky, but they were unable to land on their target. Much to everyone¡¯s surprise, even though the two of them had already received a jade seal each, the battle showed no signs of slowing. On contrary, it seemed to be intensifying instead. ¡°Boom.¡± In front of Lin Mo, a few more figures appeared and blocked his path. Raising his head, he saw that they were the elders of the Battle Immortal Sect. They were filled with killing intent as they stared down at Lin Mo. ¡°Cumbersome flies.¡± Lin Mo was getting impatient. It was not a good time for them to show up. Not wanting to deal with them, Lin Mo shot forward with Traceless Wind once more. ¡°Strange, why don¡¯t I see Lil¡¯ Die and Yan Rong?¡± Lin Mo retreated to the side. Even though he had found Bai Luo, Lin Die and Yan Rong were nowhere to be seen. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll help Bai Luo to get rid of him first.¡± Lin Mo did not put too much thought into it. He unsheathed Plain White Snow and prepared to join the battle. Suddenly, while Bai Luo was still engaged in combat, a fiery red figure quietly approached her from behind. Had Lin Mo had not been watching from the side and paying close attention to Bai Luo, he would not have been able to notice. The assailant was Yuan Cang. He held a blazing spear in his hand and was prepared to launch a sneak attack on Bai Luo. Lin Mo immediately shouted to inform Bai Luo. Bai Luo was too engrossed in battle, and it was likely she had not noticed her ambusher. As such, Yuan Cang¡¯s sneak attack had an extremely high chance of succeeding. ¡°Pew.¡± A gentle breeze blew past and Bai Luo¡¯s figure instantly disappeared, leaving behind only an afterimage. Yuan Cang¡¯s long spear had pierced through the afterimage. In the next moment, Bai Luo appeared once again with an icy cold expression. She brought down her spear with full force. To an outside observer, it did not seem possible for Yuan Cang to dodge the blow. ¡°Clang!¡± At the critical moment, Yuan Cang raised his hand to block the long silver spear. However, in the blink of an eye, his fiery palm had turned into a bloody mess, as it was pierced through by the silver long spear effortlessly. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s appeared on scene. Using his pitch-black sword Qi, he helped intercept Ling Feng who was preparing to launch a sneak attack at Bai Luo from behind. ¡°Hmph, some dignified holy son you are,¡± Bai Luo commented coldly at Yuan Cang¡¯s pathetic appearance. Her spear intent erupted, and Yuan Cang¡¯s body was once again sent flying. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you fleeing despite already obtaining a seal?¡± Lin Mo asked with a frown. She was cutting things dangerously close earlier. ¡°This b*stard treated Lil¡¯ Die as an ordinary demonic beast, and actually attempted to buy her and make her a slave. If it were you, would you be able to endure it?¡± Bai Luo answered indignantly. Despite already obtaining a jade seal, she could not swallow her anger. During their time together, she had grown rather fond of Lil¡¯ Die. If it were not for the fact that the little fellow had insisted on following Lin Mo, she would have made Lil¡¯ Die her own. As such, the fact that someone had dared to treat Lil¡¯ Die as a mere slave angered Bai Luo greatly. She wanted nothing more than to make the person pay for their rude comments. ¡°I¡¯m afraid now is not the time. We¡¯ll look for an opportunity next time,¡± advised Lin mo. This was no time to be caught in a petty struggle. Since Bai Luo had the jade seal in her hands, it made her an easy target. Moreover, to most cultivators present at the pool, she looked like a mere wandering cultivator that had no ties to the Yanhuang Divine Empire. This made her an easy prey to be targeted upon. Especially since she had revealed some of the treasures that she possessed. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Bai Luo nodded and prepared to lead Lin Mo back to Lin Die and Yan Rong. ¡°Boom!¡± A huge palm of spiritual power was launched over. It was extremely powerful, and it felt as if the weight of the sky was coming at them. Lin Mo turned around and found that the people from the Battle Immortal Sect had caught up to him. Kong Lei was also on the other side, and even a few elders from the Primordial Sun Holy Land were present. It was clear that these people had formed a temporary alliance to get rid of Lin Mo and Bai Luo. Lin Mo was furious. He summoned the Origin Spirit Puppet to go after his enemies. He had gone through great lengths just to reunite with Bai Luo, and yet, his happy reunion was cut short by all of his cumbersome enemies. While he was grumbling at the turn of events, he spotted Yuan Cang from within the surrounding crowd. Locking his aim onto him, Lin Mo then swung his sword, unleashing the power of his God Devouring Body at him. The power the swing contained was so strong that Yuan Cang had no other choice but to defend himself, as he would likely perish had he taken it in stride. Ling Feng, who was watching from the back of the surrounding crowd, was shocked. He did not expect the woman to have a helper. Moreover, with Lin Mo easily dispatching Yuan Cang, Ling Feng had lost a collaborator to help take down the woman. ¡­ With Lin Mo watching her back, Bai Luo was able to launch her attacks without any worries. Her moves were swift and nimble. For a moment, Ling Feng was unable to withstand her attacks and was forced into a passive position. Meanwhile, the situation on Lin Mo¡¯s side was also proceeding very smoothly. Although Yuan Cang¡¯s divine flames were extremely powerful, he was still unable to block Lin Mo¡¯s attack. Sword Qi shot up into the sky and broke through Yuan Cang¡¯s defense. Upon hitting its mark, Lin Mo followed up his attack with a vicious punch that smashed into Yuan Cang¡¯s chest. Chapter 234 - To Hell However, just as Lin Mo was about to continue his barrage of attacks, more and more people had noticed the commotion and were rushing over. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long. Let¡¯s leave!¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo met up, and using the Origin Spirit Puppet to lead the way, they left the area. Before leaving, however, Lin Mo made sure to grab a jade seal for himself. Due to the mystical nature of Traceless Wind, no ordinary person would be able to go after them. ¡°Where are Lil¡¯ Die and the others?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Follow me.¡± The two of them left the Dragon Transformation Pool. Although there were people chasing them from behind, they were unable to catch up to them. After getting rid of their pursuers, Lin Mo and Bai Luo arrived at a valley. Upon arrival, Bai Luo waved her hand, and the scenery of the valley in front of them changed. Lin Mo could feel that there were at least a dozen killing formations buried around them. However, with Bai Luo¡¯s arrival, the killing formations here were all disabled. Within the valley, a fiery red petite figure flew out, accompanied by an innocent laughter. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re finally here.¡± Lin Die threw herself into Lin Mo¡¯s embrace. This extremely dependent look caused Bai Luo to grit her teeth. ¡°Little brat, I treat you very well too. Why aren¡¯t you sticking to me?¡± Bai Luo said through gritted teeth. She stretched out her hand and tugged at Lin Die¡¯s tender face, looking very displeased. ¡°Sister Bai Luo, you¡¯re the best¡­ Hehe.¡± Lin Die let go of Lin Mo in pain and grabbed Bai Luo¡¯s hand while giggling. ¡°Sigh, you¡­¡± Bai Luo was helpless. She was helpless against the kid. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s hurry to the Dragon Transformation Pool. If we¡¯re late, our opportunities will be snatched away.¡± Lin Mo said as he brought everyone back. However, their luck was running low. The jade seals were sparsely distributed. It was very difficult to find any jade seals remaining, as most of them had already been taken by others. ¡°Hehe, looking for some jade seals?¡± A figure walked out from afar. There were quite a few people following behind him, and among them was someone they were familiar with. Lin Mo and Bai Luo shielded Yan Rong and Lin Die as they looked at the people approaching them. The man who spoke was wearing a gray-black cloak and a bamboo hat. There was actually a small snake with a strange pattern circling around his waist. Behind him, Ling Feng, who had a grudge against Lin Mo and the others, was also there. It seemed that the information about Ling Feng being a wandering cultivator was not quite accurate. ¡°Go away. A good dog doesn¡¯t block the way,¡± Bai Luo snapped coldly. She was very displeased with Ling Feng and his gang. However, the man leading the group did not seem to have a good temper either. Upon hearing Bai Luo¡¯s words, the smile on his face instantly vanished. ¡°I was originally thinking of making a deal with you guys. But it seems that you guys are incapable of appreciating favors.¡± The person stated coldly. The small snake coiled around his waist suddenly shot out. It bared its fangs and headed straight for Bai Luo. ¡°Flash!¡± Bai Luo¡¯s entire body emitted a white light. A layer of bright silver armor appeared on her body. With a thrust of her long spear, she had sunken her spear into the small snake¡¯s mouth. In the next moment, an intense spear intent erupted and blew the snake apart. ¡°Hmph.¡± Ling Feng also made his move. With a raise of his hand, a layer of intense Sword Qi erupted from the ancient book in his hand. In fact, the attack had gone beyond normal Sword Qi. This was a sea of swords that covered the sky and completely enveloped Lin Mo¡¯s group. It was an incredibly powerful move. ¡°Yan Rong, watch over Lil¡¯ Die.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s gaze was ice-cold. She was getting tired of constantly meeting obstacles. At the same time, Lin Mo also jumped into action, leaving behind his Origin Soul Puppet to protect Lin Die and Yan Rong. His body glowed with divine light, giving him a dignified appearance at first. However, in the next moment, his body resembled a black hole instead, devouring everything in its path. No energy was able to escape him. The man standing at the front of the group gave Lin Mo a bad feeling. Lin Mo could tell that he was extremely strong at first glance. It was for this reason that he went all out. ¡°Rumble!¡± The earth and sky shook. The mountains in the area collapsed and the earth cracked. ¡°What this? Isn¡¯t that Lin Mo? What¡¯s this domain he created? It¡¯s so terrifying.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s the other person? I¡¯ve never seen them before. The fact that he¡¯s on par with Lin Mo probably means he¡¯s from a renowned background.¡± Their battle had drawn plenty of attention. Many onlookers started to gather below them as they wanted to learn of the identities of the battlers. Lin Mo frowned. The person leading the group had an extremely bizarre aura. Back when he had used his God Devouring Body to consume his energy, the energy he had absorbed felt sinister. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo made yet another move. Using his God Devouring Body, he quashed the energy he had absorbed and making it vanish off the face of the earth. ¡°Formidable. As expected of Lin Mo, he managed to force the other party back.¡± The battle between the two of them was extremely bizarre. Only at this moment did Lin Mo realize that something was amiss. The opponent¡¯s attack method had not originated from spiritual energy. Instead, it had consisted of tens of thousands of tiny bugs. The bamboo hat on his head had been knocked off by Lin Mo, revealing his original appearance as a result. It was an incomparably savage face, and one could vaguely see bugs crawling over it. It was extremely disgusting. ¡°It¡¯s a Spirit Insect Master.¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled of such an occupation. Different from Spirit Formation Masters and Alchemists, the cultivation of a spirit insect master was extremely strange. One needed to implant the insects into one¡¯s body. Such a method would easily cause a backlash. After all, it was a foreign substance, and if something unforeseen were to happen, not even God would be able to do anything about it. However, at the same time, if such a person were to succeed in his cultivation, they would become unbelievably powerful. If a battle against insect masters, one would need to take care of them fast, as the former was capable of unleashing a near endless swarm of bugs. Those bugs were usually able to devour their opponents completely. ¡°That¡¯s the Ghost Bug Master, a famous expert in the imperial capital. His moves are ever-changing and difficult to defend against.¡± Someone recognized the other party¡¯s identity and exclaimed in shock. ¡°Kacha.¡± Lightning flashed and a three meter long centipede appeared in front of Lin Mo. it had three heads and was biting at him from three different directions. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo slashed with his Plain White Snow. A powerful Sword Qi soared into the sky and killed the centipede. ¡°Burst!¡± At the same time, fresh blood splattered out. Lin Mo took the opportunity to attack and injure the so-called Ghost Bug Master. Although the insects summoned by the other party were strange, they were nothing in front of absolute strength. ¡°What? If you¡¯re mad, then come face me yourself. Why rely on some tiny insects?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. ¡°You.¡± The Ghost Bug Master was furious. The bug that he had painstakingly raised had been easily disposed of by Lin Mo¡­ ¡°Kid, sell that bug of yours to me. I can let bygones be bygones if you do,¡± the Ghost Bug Master said. He pointed at Lin die in the distance. His ultimate goal was actually her. ¡°What did you just say?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The person had actually managed to see through Lin Die¡¯s true identity. ¡°That¡¯s right. Sell her to me and we¡¯ll let bygones be bygones. I can also introduce you guys to a good place,¡± said the Ghost Bug Master. If Lin Mo was smart enough, he should be able to understand the hidden meaning behind his words. However, at this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes gradually filled with killing intent. Seemingly sensing Lin Mo¡¯s anger, his God Devouring Body increased its circulation speed, causing a vortex to form with Lin Mo as its center. Raising his head once again, Lin Mo held Plain White Snow and pointed forward. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in the place you¡¯ve introduced. On the contrary, I can send you to another special place of my own¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice was ice-cold as a soaring Sword Qi spread out. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to Hell¡­¡± Chapter 235 - Sister Bai Luo is a Good Person ¡°You!¡± The Ghost Bug Master was so angry that he wanted to attack, but upon spotting Lin Mo¡¯s surging Sword Qi, he started having second thoughts. ¡°You mad? Come at me with all your bugs then.¡± Lin Mo taunted calmly. Following his taunt, Lin Mo attacked with all his strength. He had activated Traceless Wind, and as such, it was hard to detect his position. Adding on the power of the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength could easily crush his opponent. Sword rays flashed and various multicolored lights appeared. After forming a black hole above his hand, he threw a punch forward. ¡°Spurt.¡± Blood dyed the sky. It was merely a single punch, and yet, the so-called Number One Spirit Insect Master of the Yanhuang Divine Empire had been killed. By the time his origin soul puppet and Bai Luo had returned to his side, the battle was already over. Unfortunately, however, they were unable to get rid of Ling Feng. Upon realizing that the odds were against him, Ling Feng turned tail and ran. As for the others that were with him, they had all been killed by the furious Bai Luo. ¡°I obtained two jade seals from those guys. We can enter the pool now.¡± Bai Luo mentioned while waving the two jade seals in her hand. Now that the four of them had obtained the jade seals, they did not stay for a second longer and immediately head towards the Dragon Transformation Pool. Another important figure from the Yanhuang Divine Empire had perished, namely Ghost Bug Master, who was the greatest Spirit Insect Master of the empire. Ling Feng had fled, and Ghost Bug Master had been killed. It was a very shocking piece of news. Even those who had already entered the Dragon Transformation Pool were alarmed. They used all sorts of methods to observe Lin Mo and his gang. ¡°Is this the Dragon Transformation Pool? This is clearly another dimension¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Before entering the Dragon Transformation Pool, Lin Mo and the rest had assumed that they would have to compete against other cultivators to win the resources present within the pool. Never had they thought that the Dragon Transformation Pool was actually a separate dimension of its own. ¡°Brother, turn left at the front. There¡¯s a tier 9 medicinal herb there.¡± Lin Die said excitedly as soon as she entered the pool. ¡°This soon?¡± Lin Mo was surprised at such an early discovery. The gang quickly followed Lin Die¡¯s lead and searched around, and before long, they had found a crabapple flower located within a small pool. ¡°Green Wave Crabapple, a tier 9 high-grade spiritual medicine. It contains a trace of Dao principles and if cooked together with other spiritual medicine, the resulting dish is highly delicious and it will allow one to comprehend Dao.¡± Bai Luo praised. She had a set of ancient instructions for utilizing said plant. Strictly speaking, what she possessed was actually a food recipe, and it was rumored to have passed down from the hands of an ancient saint. ¡°Hehe, the value of this ancient recipe is even higher than a spirit grade pill recipe. I can give it to you if you want.¡± Bai Luo smiled with a crafty glint in her eyes. Lin Mo felt that her gaze was very unnatural. Knowing that she had something in mind, he sighed helplessly, ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Only one thing. Have you mastered the full version of Traceless Wind?¡± Bai Luo stared into Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and asked seriously. Hearing this, Lin Mo jumped in shock. His eyes flickered, and he tried to act as if nothing had happened, but it was already too late. ¡°As expected, I¡¯ve been suspecting you for a long time¡­¡± Bai Luo did not seem surprised upon the revelation. However, after thinking carefully about it, she realized that there could not possibly be true. After all, Traceless Wind¡¯s existence should have been kept under wraps by all costs. Unless Lin Mo was a genius that came only once every tens of millions of years who had managed to comprehend the essence of Traceless Wind purely from reading its incomplete version. ¡°Hmm, but that can¡¯t be possible. Had you actually possessed such a level of genius, you would¡¯ve already made it into the Nirvana Realm by now¡­¡± Bai Luo shook her head, refusing to believe that Lin Mo had possessed such heaven defying talent. ¡°Hey, who are you looking down on?¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes. Was this little girl looking down on him? ¡°In short, tell me how you learned the complete version of Traceless Wind, and I¡¯ll give you the ancient recipe.¡± Bai Luo stated. ¡°Tsk, no thanks.¡± Lin Mo curled his lips, refusing the trade. Much to his chagrin, however, Bai Luo pulled Lin Die over and constantly emphasized the beauty of the ancient recipe to her. After pairing it with some ingredients and spirit herbs, she would be able to cultivate and satisfy her stomach. That way, she would no longer have to devour the corpse of demonic beasts. Lin Die was aware of Bai Luo¡¯s goal. Although she stayed quiet, the audible sound of her gulping down her saliva still betrayed her¡­ ¡°Big Brother¡­ I think Sister Bai Luo is a good person¡­¡± Lin Die twiddled with her thumbs. After hesitating for a long time, she finally raised her head and said timidly. ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo was at a loss for words. She clearly knew that it was a trap, and yet, she still willingly fell for the bait¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine if you want to know. However, you¡¯ll first have to tell me your true identity and where you¡¯re from.¡± After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo opened his mouth and offered a counter offer. It was only fair to trade one secret for the other, after all. As expected, upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s request, Bai Luo immediately shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t inquire about my background. Once you¡¯re strong enough, you¡¯ll eventually encounter them.¡± After a short interlude, Bai Luo did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she handed him the recipe and instructed Lin Mo not to spread the recipe around. ¡°The main ingredients are actually so flexible and replaceable?¡± Lin Mo was surprised by the recipe¡¯s contents. The world was truly full of wonders. This was a supplementary medicinal recipe. It could be used to refine pills, and it could also be used as a normal food recipe. If the effect of the main ingredient was to heal injuries, the recipe had provided complementary ingredients that were meant to increase the main ingredient¡¯s efficacy. The recipe could be applied to both cultivation and enlightenment-based ingredients. ¡°It just so happens that I have a few Silver Arowanas, a Silver Striped Koi, and a stalk of Illusory Spirit Grass. I should be able to pair them up with this Green Wave Crabapple. Let¡¯s try out the recipe with these ingredients then.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. After spending so much time with Bai Luo, he felt like he too, had become a foodie. ¡°Silver Arowanas and an Illusory Spirit Grass. Both are materials used to cultivate the soul. Your luck is as great as always.¡± Bai Luo and Yan Rong were shocked. They did not expect Lin Mo to have such a rich stash of resources. ¡°Quick, quick, Lil¡¯ Die, hurry up and find more medicinal herbs. We¡¯re eating good today.¡± Bai Luo swallowed her saliva and urged. This left Yan Rong at a loss for words. Were they here to collect treasures, or were they here to enjoy a feast¡­ ¡°There are medicinal herbs around a kilometer ahead. From their aura, they seem to be top grade tier 8 materials,¡± Lin Die sniffed the air and pointed in a certain direction. Everyone rushed over with the target in mind. The moment they got close, they smelled a medicinal fragrance. However, there were already people here. There were three masked men picking a medicinal herb on a small hill. Upon spotting Lin Mo and the others, their expressions immediately turned wary. ¡°Are we going to snatch it?¡± Bai Luo was eager to give it a try. Although it was a top-grade tier 8 flower, it was not listed within the ancient recipe. Although it could serve as a replacement ingredient, there was a chance that it would affect the efficacy of the recipe. Bai Luo was a person who pursued perfection, and thus, she would rather not have the effects of the Silver Arowanas be spoiled. ¡°Forget it, we wouldn¡¯t want to tarnish our reputation¡­¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment before giving up on the idea of snatching it. He was an auctioneer, and thus, his reputation was worth its weight in gold. Under most circumstances, Lin Mo would not antagonize anyone unless they had provoked him first. However, just as he was about to leave, Lin die tugged on Lin Mo¡¯s sleeve and whispered. ¡°Brother, there are even more precious materials underground¡­¡± Chapter 236 - Ant Lin Die¡¯s voice was extremely soft, and only Bai Luo and Lin Mo could hear it. Even Yan Rong, who was standing right behind them, had not noticed her speaking. Hearing those words, Lin Mo frowned. He looked at the three people standing guard in front of him and walked up to them. ¡°We¡¯re not here to take the spirit herb from you. Hurry up and pluck it. Once you¡¯re done, please promptly leave.¡± This was the most peaceful option available to Lin Mo. Even though doing so could potentially tip the other party off to the existence of more treasures lying around, it would still avoid unnecessary bloodshed. ¡°Alright.¡± After sizing up Lin Mo and Bai Luo, the leader of the trio nodded and accepted Lin Mo¡¯s offer. After putting away the flower, they headed in another direction. Lin Mo watched the three of them closely as they left.Only after they had retreated a certain distance did he finally heave a sigh of relief. This was a win-win situation for both sides. However, the moment Lin Mo and Bai Luo relaxed their guard¡­ The trio caught on to their lapse in security, and immediately brought out six talismans that emitted powerful auras. ¡°Divine Talisman! Spirit Explosion Talisman!¡± The three of them shouted at the same time. They moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had arrived behind Yan Rong and Lin Die. The jet-black dagger in their hands emitted a cold glint. Under the enhancement of the talismans, their attack was exceptionally terrifying. ¡°Someone from the Secret Ghost Sect?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s eyes turned cold. She raised her hand and unleashed a white torrent of energy to attack the assailants. However, it was too late. Even if she could kill the three of them at once, she would not be able to stop the attack. Upon sensing the abnormality, Yan Rong hastily shielded Lin Die with his own body. ¡°Die.¡± The light in their surroundings dimmed instantly as a black hole appeared before the assailants. Despite having their attacks amplified greatly via the talismans, the appearance of the black hole had instantly reduced their power by half. By the time their blades had landed on Yan Rong¡¯s body, less than one-tenth of the power had remained. ¡°Bam.¡± Yan Rong was pushed back by their attacks. He had protected Lin Die well and had prevented her from suffering any injuries. As for the three attackers, they were dispatched by Bai Luo immediately after. Two of them were killed on the spot by her palm strike, and their bodies were torn into pieces. As for the other person, due to him being at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, he quickly realized that something was amiss and had retreated. However, it was to no avail, as he was still struck by Bai Luo¡¯s palm wind. Her silver-white spiritual energy wreaked havoc within his body and severely injured him. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Before he could react, a pitch-black Sword Qi slashed at him, splitting his body into two halves. ¡°Brother Yan Rong, are you okay?¡± Lin Die¡¯s concerned voice came from afar. Lin Mo and Bai Luo quickly went over to check his condition. Fortunately, the domain formed by Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body had proven effective, as it had dissipated most of the power behind the assailants¡¯ attacks. Otherwise, Yan Rong would have been severely injured, and there was a chance that Lin Die would have died. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect those three people to be the rats of the Secret Ghost Sect. How disgusting,¡± Bai Luo angrily spat. Had Lin Mo not counterattacked quickly and activated the domain, they would likely had lost someone¡­ ¡°Hmph, once I leave, I¡¯ll teach those rats a lesson.¡± Bai Luo clenched her fists while feeding Yan Rong a spirit pill. It was at this moment that Bai Luo officially jotted the Secret Ghost Sect down into her kill list. When she had first come to the eastern continent and entered the Yan Huang Divine Empire, she had brought along plenty of spiritual stones due to her weak cultivation levels. As a result, she had been targeted repetitively by the Secret Ghost Sect. Fortunately, the more of their members she killed, the stronger and stronger her cultivation base became. However, it seemed that the Secret Ghost Sect was still holding a grudge against her. Perhaps the reason they had acted decisively earlier was due to them seeing through Bai Luo¡¯s identity. In that case, she would have to be rid of their enmity once and for all by paying the Secret Ghost Sect a visit before leaving the eastern continent. ¡°Let¡¯s see what good treasures are hiding below.¡± Seeing that Yan Rong was fine, Lin Mo did not think too much and proceeded to the small hill. With a raise of his hand, a suction force was generated in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, and it had sucked up all the soil below. Mere moments later, a cave that was a hundred meters deep appeared. ¡°Huh, I found it.¡± Lin Mo was delighted. A large jar that was half the height of an adult flew up. The moment it appeared, a thick stench of alcohol filled the air, threatening to make Lin Mo drunk. ¡°What a fragrant wine¡­¡± Lin Mo was surprised. ¡°Quickly! Open it and have a taste.¡± Bai Luo licked her lips. ¡°Alright, everyone, have a cup.¡± Lin Mo smiled and opened the sealed jar. The intoxicating fragrance of the wine permeated the air. ¡°My head feels so dizzy¡­¡± Lin Die hurried over. However, as soon as she smelled the fragrance of the wine, she felt dizzy. Her small face flushed red, and it was clear that she was already drunk. ¡°What strong liquor.¡± Bai Luo and Lin Mo each tasted a cup. The fragrance lingered on their lips, and multicolored light radiated from their bodies. ¡°It might be no exaggeration to call this a divine brew¡­¡± Lin Mo praised. The wine was too fragrant. He did not know when it was buried, but it had been preserved perfectly until now. ¡°Divine brew, huh? It¡¯s not bad. Perhaps to those who are in our realm, it could be considered divine brew.¡± Bai Luo drank another cup and said somewhat tipsyly. Yan Rong was also extremely interested in how the wine tasted. After pouring a cup for himself and Lin Die, he sipped it carefully. However, he was not as brave as Lin Mo and Bai Luo who were downing one cup after another. After drinking only one cup, he could feel his entire body heating up. It was a sign that he was making a breakthrough in his cultivation, and he had advanced from tier 10 to tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Despite this, there was still a large amount of spiritual energy lingering within his body. As a result, he could only sit on the ground and began cultivating. Lin Die took small sips, and every sip felt like it set her tongue on flames. However, upon spotting Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s intoxicated expressions, she persevered and drank the entire cup. ¡°Enough, enough. If I drink any more, I¡¯ll collapse¡­¡± After drinking the fifth cup, Bai Luo shook her head. She could feel spiritual energy running rampant within her, and she felt as if she was about to make a breakthrough. Lin Mo was the same. Although his cultivation base was lower than Bai Luo¡¯s, his God Devouring Body had enabled him to down five cups. By the end of his drinking session, his head was dizzy, and his body felt bloated. At the same time, the Soul Devouring Art that he had comprehended while cultivating previously was also quietly running in the background. Some complicated symbols appeared in front of Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. The Soul Devouring Art had advanced a step further. ¡°Perhaps now, the Soul Devouring Art can finally be considered as a spirit grade cultivation technique.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head, extremely satisfied. ¡°Crack.¡± A crisp sound came from within his body, as if something had shattered. The barrier of the Dragon Transformation Realm¡¯s 16th tier shattered, and Lin Mo had risen another tier. His spine emitted light, and a total of sixteen spine segments were emitting multicolored light. It made for a dazzling sight. The 17th section was also faintly glowing. However, as the realm was still not stable, he needed to stabilize and cultivate it properly. ¡°I¡¯ve done some research. This is a jar of Hundred Flowers Wine. It¡¯s not brewed by humans, but by a group of ants.¡± By the time Lin Mo was finished with his cultivation, Bai Luo had already refined the spiritual energy within her body. It was a tier 7 spirit-grade item. This was also the reason why just five cups were enough to make two geniuses pass out, forcing them to rely on cultivation to absorb the spiritual energy within the wine. ¡°Ants can brew wine?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. There were really all sorts of strange things in the world¡­ Chapter 237 - The Gathering of Powerhouses ¡°You¡¯ve never seen anything like it before? What about bees then? Bees can make honey, no? They operate under the same principle, so why are you so surprised for?¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes at Lin Mo. She explained that there was a nest of ant-type demonic beasts lying underneath them. ¡°There¡¯s definitely more than one king in their nest. Who knows, there might even be an insect emperor among them¡­¡± An insect emperor. If nurtured properly, the achievements it could produce in the future would be nothing short of amazing. In addition to its superior combat strength, it also possessed the ability to control all insects throughout the world. ¡°Strictly speaking, Lil¡¯ Die shares a similar amount of potential as well. However, in order to make use of that potential, she must have the opportunity to grow up.¡± Bai Luo said with a smile. While looking at Lil¡¯ Die who was sleeping soundly at the side, Lin Mo smiled. Lin Mo did not expect the Colorful Fire Demon that had came from the auction rebate to possess such potential. He had really struck it big with her¡­ ¡°However, it takes a lot of spiritual energy to raise an Insect Emperor. Losing it halfway would render all prior efforts for naught.¡± Bai Luo shook her head. Following that, she looked at Lin Mo and chuckled, ¡°Therefore, if you can¡¯t afford to raise Lil¡¯ Die, you might as well hand her over to me.¡± She added that if Lin Mo were to agree to her deal, she would provide him with a tier 9 spirit-grade sword cultivation technique in return. The generous offer made Lin Mo even more curious about the girl¡¯s identity. ¡°How about it? Are you tempted yet?¡± Bai Luo asked, unwilling to give up on Lin Die. ¡°I won¡¯t stop her if she truly desires to leave with you,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Although he was tempted to accept the deal, he would not go against Lin Die¡¯s wishes. If Lin Die was willing to leave with Bai Luo, he would not stop her. Moreover, he would also still treat her as his own sister. However, when Lin Die woke up, the first person she went to was Lin Mo, not Bai Luo. The outcome had already been decided. ¡°Sigh, I hope you can grow up smoothly.¡± Bai Luo looked reluctant. She liked Lin Die very much. ¡°Let¡¯s put this conversation on hold. Where are we going next?¡± Lin Mo asked. He wanted to investigate the nest below and retrieve the Insect Emperor. After all, it could be used as a gift for Bai Luo or Jiang Xiyue. However, upon being informed of how rare Insect Emperors were, Lin Mo¡¯s plans were shattered. ¡°Forget it, Lil¡¯ Die is working right now. Since we¡¯ve already secured the meat and wine, all we need are veggies and we¡¯ll be able to start our feast.¡± Bai Luo urged. In the end, under Lil Die¡¯s lead, the group searched for medicinal herbs scattered within the Dragon Transformation Pool¡¯s alternate dimension. Throughout their search, they made sure to avoid as much conflict as possible. Even though there were rumors of someone discovering a half-step spirit-grade martial art, they did not do anything about it. Although having more skills would not harm them, there was still the issue of their affinity with the skill. Moreover, competition within the pool was fierce. It was said that many from the Yan Huang Board of Fame had entered the pool. Lin Mo¡¯s group had no desire to interact with them. Their sole goal was to obtain resources that could increase their strength. ¡°Oh right, didn¡¯t you kill Kong Xuan? The blood of the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s heir would make for a perfect ingredient for the precious medicine we found.¡± After searching for a long time, the four of them had finally located all the herbs recorded within the ancient recipe. There were more than a dozen tier 9 herbs. One of them was even a tier 1 spirit-grade herb. While they were out collecting herbs, Lin Mo and gang had also encountered a golden-red Water Dragon. Bai Luo and Lin Mo had to work together to repel it. It took them great effort to hold it back. In the end, once Yan Rong had picked up the herb in the dragon¡¯s domain, the four of them immediately ran off. The Water Dragon gave chase, and they had to travel more than a thousand miles before it finally stopped pursuing them. After all their running, they reached the area where the half-step spirit-grade martial arts was rumored to be at. The place was a mess. Broken weapons and puddles of blood were scattered everywhere. Moreover, they had also received news that the rumored martial arts technique was fake. Many of those who had fought there and met their end had come from powerful sects. There were even those from Holy Lands who perished there. ¡°What a tragic scene. It¡¯s fortunate that we didn¡¯t participate in it.¡± Yan Rong counted his blessings. ¡°The person who set this trap is ruthless. To think that he managed to catch and kill this many people with it.¡± Lin Mo sighed. Some would rather loot from the corpses of others than to search for the resources within the area through their own efforts. However, according to the passersby, the person who set this trap had initially intended to trap and kill those who were from the imperial family. The goal was to lure the imperial family there, and once they had arrived, the person would claim that the imperial family had taken the martial arts techniques for themselves. By doing so, the hope was to antagonize the imperial family such that everyone would go after them. However, the one known as Elder Mo from the imperial family had an extremely sharp gaze. He was able to smell the trap from a mile away, and after scanning his gaze across the area, the imperial family left the scene. In the end, once the other powerful sects and clans had noticed the imperial family¡¯s disinterest in the technique, they immediately made their moves on the treasure, causing the heavy casualties that Lin Mo and his group saw. In fact, some large sects¡¯ forces were wiped out entirely, and with that, they could no longer gain anything from the Dragon Transformation Pool. ¡°How ruthless, to think that they were attempting treason¡­¡± Lin Mo commented. ¡°Although the Emperor of the Yanhuang Divine Empire is pedantic, he is still powerful in his own right. Moreover, the royal family of this region wields powerful resources. They are not to be trifled with.¡± Bai Luo commented as well. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s none of our business. As long as nothing happens to Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled casually. With Elder Mo around, Qianqian¡¯s safety was practically guaranteed. As such, Lin Mo had nothing to worry about. ¡°By the way, why did you join the eighth prince¡¯s faction?¡± Bai Luo asked, puzzled. She had never understood why that despite Lin Mo¡¯s overwhelming talent, he had chosen to join the eighth prince¡¯s ranks. With his luck and resources, he was bound to become a major powerhouse in the future, one that was able to stand tall among giants. ¡°If you desire freedom, I¡¯m able to help you. I can take you away from here.¡± Bai Luo offered her help. Lin Mo had great potential. Should he stay within the Yanhuang Divine Empire for too long, it was very likely that he would be unable to grow due to an exhaustion of resources. After all, no matter how much potential a person had, they would still be influenced by their environments. ¡°I¡¯m not her subordinate. It only looks that way to you observers.¡± Lin Mo smiled and thanked Bai Luo for her kindness. However, he did not need her help. On the contrary, it was Jiang Xiyue who needed his help¡­ ¡°Forget it. The politics of the Yanhuang Empire is really complicated. I¡¯d rather not participate in it if I can.¡± Bai Luo had not expected the friend she had casually made to be a genius,especially not one who had close ties to the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°However, you still need my help in the ruins, right? Do you have any enemies that you wish to wipe out? We can work together and split the profits 50-50.¡± Bai Luo said with a sweet smile and a pure expression. Despite the angelic appearance she had portrayed, the words she spoke were like that of a devil¡¯s¡­ ¡°Brother, Sister Bai Luo, I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s eat¡­¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo were discussing whether to take on the Primordial Sun Holy Land or the Mu family when suddenly, Lin Die interjected. ¡°Let¡¯s eat!¡± Lin Die spoke up. Although she was not truly hungry, she could not hold back the urge to taste the legendary Silver Striped Koi, as well as the Silver Arowanas. Now that their search for the medicinal herbs had come to an end, their next goal was to find a spot to eat in peace. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s give Lin Die a chance to enjoy herself. We need to find a place to hide before we feast.¡± Bai Luo said with a chuckle. The four of them left the battle-scarred area. After wandering about, they soon located a hidden valley. As they poured their ingredients into boiling water, a faint fragrance soon spread across the valley¡­ Chapter 238 - Enlightenment of Dao Principles Lin Mo took out all the medicinal herbs that were listed in the ancient recipe, and Bai Luo also brought out her own collection of ingredients. ¡°I think we collected a bit too much. Should we roast them or turn them into a stew? What do you guys think?¡± Bai Luo asked, having a hard time choosing¡­ ¡°We have plenty of spirit herbs, plus meat and alcohol to boot. I think we should try to make a hotpot.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. There were too many herbs, and cooking all of them would waste too much time. As such, it was better to cook them all in one pot. ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll start the fire then.¡± Lin Die was in high spirits. Flames shot out from her hands, and using those flames, she lit the fire for the cauldron in front of her. Meanwhile, Bai Luo took out a formation plate and unfolded it. The spirit formation covered the sky and the sun, sheltering them from the outside world. With this many spirit herbs being boiled together, coupled with the fragrance of the Hundred Flowers Wine, the fragrance would have spread across the entire valley. Should that happen, someone would likely had attacked while they were eating. The spiritual energy contained within the hotpot was comparable to a spirit-grade tier 3 elixir. It was a precious resource that could lure in even a Nirvana Realm cultivator. They were right to be wary of alerting others of it. ¡°I¡¯ll dig in then.¡± While staring at the boiling stew within the pot, Lin Die scooped up its contents and poured it into a bowl before digging in. The fragrance between that wafted from the bowl assailed her nose. It was a mixture of various kinds of fragrances, and just smelling it had resulted in spiritual energy spreading across her body. Lin Mo scooped out the cooked Silver Striped Koi and handed it to Lin Die and Yan Rong. The fish was not particularly useful to him and Bai Luo. The two of them were both geniuses. They would definitely have an easier time breaking through to the Nirvana Realm than Yan Rong. As for Lin Die, it was because she had broken through the cocoon to become a butterfly nine times. Every time she underwent the metamorphosis was a life and death test for her, as such, consuming the Silver Striped Koi would raise her chances of survival greatly. While they ate, Lin Mo and Bai Luo opened the Hundred Flowers Wine and drank it. In the end, the four of them were engrossed in their food and immersed themselves in it. Unknowingly, they had all progressed to the Dao comprehension stage of cultivation. Even though Yan Rong had only just broken through a few days ago, he was about to experience yet another breakthrough. Meanwhile, Lin Mo was also immersed in a deep level of Dao comprehension himself. With the God Devouring Body now partially mastered, Lin Mo¡¯s ability to comprehend Dao principles had received a massive boost as well. The God Devouring Body circulated within him, gradually morphing into a new form. The originally pitch-black God Devouring Body had now emitted a flame. It was an intense flame, but also extremely pure. After an unknown amount of time, the image of the flame dissipated. Lin Mo slowly woke up. Without wasting any time, Lin Mo headed straight for the delicious food within the hotpot and quickly gobbled it down. Once he had eaten his fill of the food, he then drank one cup after another of the Hundred Flowers Wine. The overwhelming desire to comprehend Dao made him temporarily ignore the taste of whatever he was consuming. An instant later, his God Devouring Body began to circulate again. The image of the flames appeared within his mind once more, but this time, it was even purer. It was evolving, and runes were even beginning to form around it. It was as if Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body was inscribing a supreme rune. As long as there was sufficient heaven and earth spiritual energy, the energy that the God Devouring Body had previously absorbed could be drawn out for Lin Mo¡¯s reference and cultivation. ¡°So this is how flames are supposed to be used¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself and began to cultivate. However, problems soon arose. His entire body was enveloped in flames. The burning pain caused Lin Mo to frown. His skin split open, and it was somewhat difficult for him to withstand such a high temperature. Even so, Lin Mo continued to cultivate. He attempted to comprehend the Dao principles within the flames. In the end, his body was beginning to char, and a smoky smell was being emitted from him. Lin Mo was in extreme pain. He woke up and drank a cup of Hundred Flowers Wine. He also ate some food to replenish his spiritual energy. The injuries on his body soon recovered. After taking a look around, he noticed that Bai Luo and the others were also trying to comprehend Dao. However, the spiritual energy in Yan Rong¡¯s body was abundant, and it had caused his meridians to swell up a little. Other than that, he was fine. Lin Die, on the other hand, had a satisfied look on her face as she fell into a deep sleep. Bai Luo sat cross-legged in silence. No one knew what she was comprehending. Among the four of them, Lin Mo was the most miserable. He was nearly burnt to death by the flames. However, he still persisted. After eating some food, he planned on continuing his cultivation. At this moment, Bai Luo woke up. Upon spotting the sorry state Lin Mo was in, she asked in shock, ¡°Are you trying to comprehend Dao or are you planning to transcend to the heavens?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that my cultivation process is a little bumpy.¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly and closed his eyes to continue cultivating. Silence ensued in their enclosure once more. The scene was a little strange. The four of them woke up every once in a while. After eating some food and drinking some wine, they would continue to cultivate. Before long, the food in the hotpot was swept clean. Yan Rong was the first to wake up. He had received a huge improvement. He was now at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The speed in which he had cultivated had shocked even himself. Nevertheless, his cultivation base was somewhat unstable, since he had not cultivated each realm to the peak of perfection. This also resulted in his combat strength being rather lackluster for someone of his tier. Although he could be considered a genius, he was still ten percent weaker when compared to powerhouses like Yuan Cang. Even so, Yan Rong was satisfied. As for Bai Luo, she sat there quietly with her legs crossed, quietly refining the spiritual Qi in her body. Occasionally, her body flickered with multicolored light, which was very mysterious. As for Lin Die, she was also making a huge ruckus. Flames howled and formed a cocoon that surrounded her. During this period of time, Bai Luo had woken up once and explained that this was the first phase for the metamorphosis of transforming into a butterfly. It was extremely crucial. However, with the Silver Striped Koi as her foundation, and with the addition of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth lingering in the air, she would definitely be able to easily survive the first phase of her transformation. On the other hand, Lin Mo was in a rather miserable state. Scorching flames continuously attacked Lin Mo, and it showed no signs of stopping. Worse still, the pale yellow flames that had originally enveloped him had morphed into a sickly shade of green. The temperature had increased by a whole new level. However, Lin Mo¡¯s aura was also becoming stronger. Multicolored light spread out from him, even though his body was gradually being charred black. Nevertheless, under that layer of black dead skin was a sparkling and translucent layer of skin, and precious light was overflowing in all directions. This was an astonishing change, similar to being reborn. He was comprehending the Dao principles of flame, and from time to time, the sound of chanting would come out from his mouth. Countless runes had also been projected from his body. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by. Bai Luo opened her eyes, and her spiritual energy was now a distinct shade of silver. Her aura had risen to a whole new level, and she was at the peak of the 18th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. She was only one step away from breaking through. Meanwhile, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation continued, and flames continued to burn him. During this period of time, Lin Mo¡¯s flames had come close to being extinguished several times. Upon noticing this, Bai Luo would toss him a high-grade spiritual stone. Supplied with a fresh batch of spiritual energy, Lin Mo¡¯s enlightenment of the Dao principles would continue to hold strong. This was a precious opportunity for Lin Mo, as mastering the Dao principles this time around would yield him the ability to manipulate flames. This made Bai Luo sighed in envy. It was not every day that one would gain the opportunity to understand the Dao principles of flame this profound. At this moment, a pair of flaming wings appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s back. The top of the wings were accentuated with green flames. With a gentle flap of the wings, blazing flames whistled and threatened to burn the heavens. Finally, the flames gradually solidified to form a cocoon around Lin Mo. Within the cocoon, Lin Mo¡¯s physical body underwent an extremely intense transformation, and it felt as if h had been reborn. When the flaming cocoon finally shattered, Lin Mo opened his eyes. ¡°Clang.¡± A long sword of flames appeared in his hand, and a Sword Qi was emitted that pierced the skies. It was a demonstration of his newfound flame powers. The flames were derived from having his God Devouring Body fuse with the primordial Dao principles of flame. The principles of flame was practically a part of the God Devouring Body at this point¡­ Chapter 239 - You Seem to Be Suffering from a Serious Bout of Illness Lin Mo stood up and launched the flaming longsword at the mountain peak in front of him. An explosion ensued, and like a volcano eruption, countless flames appeared across the mountain. The power of the sword was simply too powerful. Lin Mo felt as if possessed the power to cut down heaven and earth itself. This was also the reason why he did not bring out Plain White Snow. After all, the scale of destruction from the combined firepower would likely annihilate everything in its path¡­ Lin Mo then turned his head and smiled at Bai Luo, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Pfft, Hooligan.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s pretty face turned red. She turned her head away and scolded Lin Mo. This caused Lin Mo to be in a daze until a gentle breeze blew past him, causing him to feel a slight chill. He lowered his head to take a look and only then did he understand what had happened. Looking at Yan Rong¡¯s half-smiling expression on the other side, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and turned around to walk towards the stream located near them. Due to the continuous burning of the flames, his outer layer of skin had long been charred. This extended to his clothes as well, which had long turned into ashes. This left Lin Mo feeling somewhat awkward. Bai Luo had used high-grade spiritual stones to help him comprehend the Dao principles, and yet he ended up acting like a hooligan right after he finished his cultivation¡­ After taking a bath in the stream, Lin Mo changed into a set of clean clothes before slowly walking back. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I got carried away.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and said. ¡°Hmph.¡± Bai Luo snorted and ignored him. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not get angry. He calmed down and revised what he had just comprehended. Back when he was cultivating earlier, the God Devouring Body was circulating the Dao principle of flames. Lin Mo had fused with those principles like a silkworm turning into a cocoon. After breaking out of the cocoon, he was reborn. Upon being reborn, all the principles of flames he comprehended had been integrated into his Soul Devouring Art, making the ability even more powerful. At present, Lin Mo estimated that his Soul Devouring Art was comparable to a spirit-grade tier 5 technique. This was a level of cultivation technique that most would never be able to attain throughout their lives. Not even those listed in the Yanhuang Board of Fame were capable of incorporating Dao principles into their cultivation techniques. It was something that not even Nirvana Realm experts were capable of doing. And yet, Lin Mo had done it, despite being only at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. After spending a day to recall the principles he had learned, Lin Mo stood back up. However, Lin Mo felt a trace of imperfection in his comprehension of the Dao principles. It felt as if a divine tune had come to an abrupt end right as it reached its climax. Had he taken his comprehension another step further, an even more melodious tune would have been unlocked. Unfortunately, this was a difficult step to take. As such, Lin Mo was forced to halt his progress. Lin Mo felt that it was a pity. However, the opportunity was now lost, and he had no other choice but to wait for the opportunity to rise again. At this moment, Lin Die also woke up. The commotion of her awakening was very large, and it was extremely shocking. A powerful aura erupted, and the cocoon of flames exploded to reveal a scarlet figure. Lin Die had donned on scarlet armor, and she was wreathed in brilliant flames. On the scarlet armor, traces of white patterns could be seen. It was extremely mysterious. ¡°Rumble!¡± Great Dao symbols spread out. The Instant Lin Die appeared, thunderclouds appeared in the sky. An extremely dense aura of the great Dao spread out, and traces of lightning slowly appeared. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. ¡°Not good, it¡¯s because of the Shape-shifting Pill¡­¡± Bai Luo suddenly thought of something. She slapped her forehead, feeling extremely vexed. ¡°Damn it, I forgot that she had taken a Shape-shifting Pill and transformed into a human in advance.¡± After hearing the Bai Luo¡¯s reasoning, Lin Mo, Lin Mo also felt a little regretful. Creatures born of earth must obey the laws of heaven. According to the natural order, Colorful Fire Demons were supposed to go through nine stages of transformations before they were allowed to take the form of humans. However, by ingesting a Shape-shifting Pill to transform into a human, Lin Die had violated the natural order. Although Lin Die had safely gone through the first phase of her transformation, divine judgment was being delivered for breaking the laws of order. ¡°What should we do?¡± Lin Mo asked. He did not wish to see Lin Die perish due to divine reckoning. ¡°The only one she can rely on is herself. There is an order to things, and by violating said order, divine judgment will be delivered.¡± Bai Luo shook her head and said. Lin Die needed to handle her divine trial on her own. Should others attempt to interfere, they would be implicated as well. ¡°Will she be alright¡­¡± Yan Rong asked worriedly. Throughout all this time, Lin Die had never once participated in battle. No one would have expected her first battle to be something as scary as a divine trial¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t worry. She has eaten plenty of heavenly materials and earthen treasures. This heavenly trial must be a piece of cake for her.¡± Bai Luo said. Although Lin Die was badly struck by the heavenly lightning, she was still struggling to resist it. She stayed strong regardless of the pain she had to endure. Fortunately, the power of the first divine trial was not that great. In the end, Lin Die flew down with an ashen face and complained to Lin Mo and Bai Luo. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Lil¡¯ Die. It¡¯s only a divine trial, there¡¯s nothing to be afraid of.¡± Bai Luo hugged Lin Die and consoled her as if she was achild. After giving her an examination, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and finally relaxed. After going through the first transformation, Lin Die¡¯s strength had increased by leaps and bounds. At this moment, she was equivalent to someone who was at the peak of the 10th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Her cultivation speed made Yan Rong feel ashamed of himself. He needed to obtain a lot of opportunities, otherwise, Lin Die would catch up to him before long¡­ ¡°We should come out of seclusion. Right now, the outside world must be bustling with activity, right?¡± Lin Mo suggested. However, they were somewhat behind the times. The outside groups¡¯ search for resources had already reached the depths of the Dragon Transformation Pool. Those who were still lingering outside were either weak or had just entered not too long ago. Since Lin Mo¡¯s group had just received a major power-up, the resources at the outskirts of the pool no longer interested them. As such, they hurriedly went after the other groups that had already ventured into the depths. It had taken them a full day of pursuit to reach their target. By the time they had found traces of human activity, they could finally sense the presence of spirit herbs nearby. ¡°Spirit-grade spirit medicine, I can sense it. There¡¯s no mistake.¡± Lin Die exclaimed excitedly. She had not eaten anything for a whole day. Now that she had found a spirit grade spirit medicine, she naturally did not want to miss it. The group ventured deeper into the pool. Before long, they spotted a spirit-grade medicine. It was a Blood Lotus, which was used for healing¡­ At the same time, there were a few familiar faces around them as well. They were members of the Mu family, the Sima family, and the Primordial Sun Holy Land. There were three factions already present on scene. However, it seemed that the three forces were in an alliance. In front of them was a ten feet long crocodile. Its strength was at the 25th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and it was extremely powerful. ¡°They¡¯re very confident. To think that they actually split up into several groups.¡± Lin Mo and his group appeared out of nowhere and ambushed the enemy factions. Upon killing the crocodile and taking its inner core, they then proceeded to pluck the spirit medicine for themselves. Seeing the four people who suddenly charged out, the three factions roared angrily at them. ¡°What? You want to make a move against us?¡± Bai Luo held a silver-white spear in her hand and looked at the crowd with a threatening smile. ¡°By the way, how many spiritual stones can a spirit-grade herb sell for? Lin Mo played with the Blood Lotus in his hand and asked. ¡°What are you planning to do?¡± Bai Luo was stunned. In the next moment, Lin Mo said something that dumbfounded everyone in earshot. ¡°Spirit-grade tier 1 Blood Lotus. The starting price is 30 million low-grade spiritual stones. The highest bidder will get it¡­¡± Bai Luo roared at him. ¡°Lin Mo, you seem to be suffering from a serious bout of illness¡­¡± Chapter 240 - : I Am a Businessman Not only Bai Luo, but Yan Rong, the Mu family, the Sima family, as well as the folks from the Primordial Sun Holy Land froze. Confusion was written all across their faces. What was going on? Was Lin Mo a fanatic for auctions, or was he instilled with a strong desire to become a businessman since birth? Otherwise, his abrupt action had made no sense. The item in his possession was a spirit-grade tier 1 treasure after all, a precious treasure that was forbidden from being traded within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Had a normal person obtained it, their first instinct would have been to hide it well. ¡°Lin Mo, who do you think you¡¯re trying to fool?¡± A young man from the Mu family barked. It was Mu Feng, and his face was filled with rage. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m being serious here. The lotus will go to the highest bidder. I won¡¯t go back on my words.¡± Lin Mo answered with an amicable smile. Bai Luo rolled her eyes at his friendly attitude. Lin Mo made no attempt to explain himself to her. Regardless of what she thought of him, the Blood Lotus in his hands was as good as sold. ¡°Are you that short of spiritual stones?¡± Bai Luo frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt. She was certain that there was a huge secret lying behind Lin Mo¡¯s actions. It was even possible that this was the secret behind Lin Mo¡¯s strength. If she could unravel it, she might very well bring a peerless genius to her family¡­ ¡°There are some unique constitutions in history that require a large amount of spiritual stones.¡± Bai Luo muttered to herself. However, she still could not wrap her mind around Lin Mo¡¯s actions. After all, although spiritual stones contained the purest form of spiritual energy, the very same type of spiritual energy could be found in various treasures as well. If that was what Lin Mo needed, then there was no need to exchange the Blood Lotus for spiritual stones. ¡°That can¡¯t be right. There must be another reason for his desire for spiritual stones. Otherwise, he would not have sold the unicorn bones to me back then¡­¡± After thinking for a long time and refuting all kinds of speculations, Bai Luo was still unable to come up with an answer. Feeling that it was futile, she decided to give up. In any case, she was now friends with Lin Mo. Though it was not to the extent of allowing Lin Mo to join her family, she was certain that there would be no animosity between them in the future. Even if they were in opposing sects, she was confident that their friendship would prevail. ¡°The Primordial Sun Holy Land bids 50 million.¡± ¡°55 million.¡± A strange scene was unfolding before everyone. The three factions that were at each others¡¯ throats over a spirit herb earlier were now peacefully sitting on the ground and participating in an auction. Lin Mo smiled as he watched the three factions attempt to outbid one another. What surprised him the most was how quickly the bidding prices had risen. Before he realized, the price of the Blood Lotus had already reached 80 million spiritual stones. This caused Lin Mo to be extremely shocked. It seemed like they had obtained quite a few treasures from the ancient ruins. More than anything else, Lin Mo was certain that they had located a spirit mine. This caused Lin Mo to be extremely envious of them. After all, spirit mines were a rich source of spiritual stones. Even if it was just a small-scale spirit mine, they would still be able to dig out 400 to 500 million low-grade spiritual stones. If they were lucky, they might even be able to dig out middle-grade spiritual stones. In the end, the Blood Lotus was auctioned off to the Primordial Sun Holy Land at the price of 113 million spiritual stones. During the transaction process, the fear of Lin Mo going back on his word clawed at the back of the Primordial Sun Holy Land members¡¯ minds. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Although we have a grudge, as a businessman, I¡¯ll remain true to my word.¡± Lin Mo comforted. He would never do such a stupid thing as betraying his customers¡¯ trust. If news of him snatching auction items from his customers were to spread, his career as an auctioneer would come to an end. This was his bottom line, and he could never cross it unless the situation necessitated it. ¡°Alright, you guys can leave now. Though, it¡¯s hard to say whether I¡¯ll make a move on you all the next time we meet.¡± After completing the transaction, Lin Mo weighed the heavy cloth bag in his hand. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit-grade tier 1 Blood Lotus ] [ Triggered 3,000 times auction rebate ] [ Obtained spirit-grade tier 2 spirit herb, Blood Ganoderma ] Despite receiving a 3,000 times rebate, Lin Mo had only obtained a spirit-grade tier 2 item. Lin Mo felt that the increase had been rather small. However, after reading the description of the of Blood Ganoderma, Lin Mo laughed out loud. The Blood Ganoderma¡¯s function was also to heal injuries, but its effect was better. Moreover, it could heal internal injuries and recover the spiritual energy consumed by the body. This was a phenomenal effect that even Nirvana Realm powerhouses could make use of. Such a treasure made Lin Mo extremely satisfied. He now had another trump card that could save his life. ¡°You can still laugh out loud after losing a spirit-grade herb?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s disdainful voice rang out. Lin Mo returned to his senses and smiled at her. ¡°Well then, let¡¯s split the earnings in half.¡± Although Bai Luo was obviously not lacking in money, as partners who had taken on the ruins together, he refused to make her work for free. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Since you need the spiritual stones so much, I won¡¯t take them from you.¡± Bai Luo curled her lips. She was not that stingy. ¡°However, if we manage to find any spirit herbs that can help raise our cultivation base, I won¡¯t allow you to sell them.¡± ¡°Even if you do, you must prioritize selling them to me.¡± ¡°No problem. If I do decide to sell any such items in the future, just name your price, and it¡¯s yours. It¡¯s fine even if you can¡¯t pay in spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo grinned at her. However, everything had to be done in the form of an auction. Although it was no different from giving it to her directly, they must still go through the auction process. ¡°Hmph, why would I cheap out on you?¡± Bai Luo raised her head and said proudly. After searching their surroundings, Lin Mo and the others had obtained a nice harvest. Due to the dense spiritual energy within the Dragon Transformation Pool, spirit-grade treasures could be found occasionally. Moreover, tier 9 treasures could be found everywhere they looked. The mountain range was vast and boundless, and there were towering trees that could touch the sky. Some of said trees stood as tall as mountain peaks. They were in a primordial forest, with many vines hanging down from the 10-thousand-meter-tall trees. They were extremely sturdy. Some bird-type demonic beasts liked to build their nests on them. A thousand meters in the air, a flock of birds weaved their nests out of vines. They flapped their wings from time to time, exuding a shocking aura. The spiritual energy on the ground was also abundant. Small ponds were filled with spiritual spring water, and spiritual herbs grew bountifully nearby. There were all kinds of spiritual herbs, exotic beasts, and demonic beasts living there. Although everything seemed peaceful at a glance, anyone who were to barge into their territory would invite vicious attacks. Lin Mo and the others followed Lin Die carefully. Along the way, they searched for spiritual herbs and hunted demonic beasts. Occasionally, they would encounter powerful enemies that they could not defeat. Not long ago, they had alarmed a huge ape the size of a small hill. It had the strength of an expert in tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. This giant ape was extremely powerful, and it was abnormally violent. Upon spotting Lin Mo and his group it immediately launched an attack at them. If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s control over the mystical technique known as Traceless Wind, they would likely have met their demise. After experiencing such a battle, they felt that it was very likely that there was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse lying in wait within the ruins. An existence of this level was not something they could face. ¡°This dimension is rich with spiritual energy, unlike the world outside. It has the perfect conditions to give rise to a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.¡± Bai Luo commented. Though the dimension would have collapsed should a Nirvana Realm attempt entry from the outside, the case did not apply to a Nirvana Realm powerhouse that had originated from the dimension itself. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then we have to be careful.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Chapter 241 - Diverting Attention There were all kinds of spirit herbs in the Dragon Transformation Pool¡¯s pocket dimension, most of which were spirit-grade and were extremely precious. There were many spirit insects and strange beasts, and the resources were abundant. Lin Mo wanted to stay inside as long as possible to search for resources. ¡°Not necessarily. There might be something preventing the Nirvana Realm demonic beasts from making their move.¡± Bai Luo shook her head, not entirely certain that they should be wary of such a threat. Following that, the gang followed their original plan and searched for treasures. Occasionally, they would stop and get a feel of the ruins¡¯ history. Nevertheless, their main priority was to locate treasures and to improve their own strengths. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m sensing powerful auras around here.¡± Lin Die turned her head around suddenly and mentioned to Lin Mo. Along the way, they had harvested quite a lot of treasures. Within Lin Mo¡¯s ring were piles upon piles of spiritual herbs and exotic insects. In addition, it had also contained some special ores, all of which were precious treasures. The treasures were all found by Lin Die. Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s job was only to repel any demonic beasts that appeared. Not long after, they arrived at a lake and spotted a huge stone tablet erected in the middle of it. ¡°Could that be the secret realm¡¯s grand treasure, the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s heirloom?¡± Someone shouted from behind, drawing attention to the lake before them. The stone tablet was emitting a blood-red glow. The special patterns on it made people suspect that it was the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s heirloom. Rumors had it that the Ancient Flame Sect used to be a massive sect back in ancient times. Should one obtain the heirloom, the hope was that they would be able to take on the entirely eastern continent, and if not, they would still be able to bring down the Yanhuang Divine Empire. The stone stele shook, spilling blood energy into the air and projecting runes in the air. Many sensed the commotion and rushed over upon hearing the sound. ¡°With runes this complex, there¡¯s a high likelihood that it details a spirit-grade martial art technique. We mustn¡¯t miss it!¡± Someone exclaimed. Many people¡¯s eyes turned green with greed and they immediately rushed forward. A flash of light ensued, and a silhouette appeared momentarily before vanishing away. At the same time, the runes that the tablet had projected expanded forward and enveloped the entire lake. ¡°Not good, someone beat us to it.¡± Many people¡¯s hearts skipped upon noticing the silhouette. There was a high likelihood that the tablet had detailed a spirit-grade martial art. Due to this, it would be a pity if it was snatched away by someone else. Lin Mo was a little anxious. He wanted to rush out as well, but he still held himself back. Bai Luo was fiddling with some sort of trinket. She claimed that it would allow her to view the situation within the lake clearly. However, in the next moment, the entire lake lit up, and a terrifying killing intent filled the air. Those who had attempted to enter the lake exploded into pieces, scattering their bloody bits in all directions. It was a horrendous sight to look at. Even those who were located a distance away had been injured by the explosions. Many had been incapacitated because of it. Everyone was stunned. The entire lake was now a danger zone. Any weaklings who stepped in there would instantly lose their lives. ¡°It¡¯s a tier 9 killing formation, but it was dispelled after the explosions had taken place.¡± Bai Luo had seen the situation within. At the same time, she also realized that the onlookers¡¯ speculation might be right on the money. With runes that complex, there really was a chance that the tablet had contained a spirit-grade martial art technique. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look.¡± Many people retreated, fearing for their lives. Not Lin Mo, however. Using his Origin Spirit Puppet and his God Devouring Body, Lin Mo created a domain to protect everyone, allowing them to pass through the red barrier of runes and to enter the lake. It was at this moment that they saw the true situation within the lake. More than half of the people who had rushed in earlier had died, and they were killed by the killing formation. The so-called spirit-grade martial arts was a gimmick, as only half of its inscriptions were legible. ¡°This is a trap.¡± Rage welled up within the crowd upon realizing the true nature of the situation. After all, they had suffered great losses despite not even facing the enemy head-on. In the middle of the lake, a young man walked out and casually kicked away the corpses that were strewn across the lake. After looting the corpses of the dead, the young man then looked up and give the crowd a sinister grin. ¡°Oh, this is great. All of you have gathered together. This¡¯ll make things easier for me.¡± The young man stated out loud. He was around the same age as Lin Mo and Bai Luo, and his handsome face looked rather pale. ¡°It was all you!?¡± ¡°B*stard!¡± The remaining people were furious. ¡°Kill him!¡± A person roared in anger. He pulled out his long saber and slashed at the young man. The others also made their move. Anger flared within them. ¡°Hehe, so eager to die.¡± The young man smiled disdainfully as a cruel expression extended across his pale face. ¡°Go to hell!¡± The crowd attacked the young man. Among the crowd was a cultivator at the 25th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm, He possessed terrifying strength. Although he was heavily injured, the strength of his blows were still extremely powerful. ¡°Are you guys this eager to hand me your cultivation resources?¡± The young man chuckled. Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly widened his eyes as if he had sensed something. He looked at Lin Mo and Bai Luo, who were watching coldly from afar, with a hint of fear in his eyes. In the end, he chuckled softly and directed his words towards Lin Mo¡¯s group, ¡°Fellow Daoist, as the saying goes, sharing is caring. That domain of yours is rather powerful, so I¡¯ll be leaving the remaining resources here to you.¡± With that, the young man brought out a talisman and vanished into thin air. It took a while for Lin Mo to process the turn of events. He exclaimed, ¡°We¡¯ve been had¡­¡± Bai Luo was also caught off guard. With the young man gone, the crowd that was burning with rage had no other target to direct their hatred to besides Lin Mo and his group. Moreover, the abrupt nature of his appearance had also robbed all chance for Lin Mo and his group to explain himself. Seeing this scene, Lin Mo sighed. The ruins were truly a perilous place. ¡°Forget it. There¡¯s no point in trying to explain. Let¡¯s just deal with them.¡± Lin Mo was not afraid. He expanded his God Devouring Domain to protect Lin Die as well. The ruins were a dangerous place. His top priority at this moment was to defeat the enemies before him and to leave the area safely. At the same time, he was also extremely cautious against the young man. The next time they met, he would not let him off so easily. ¡°Feel free to attack, and don¡¯t leave any survivors.¡± Bai Luo also had the same thoughts as Lin Mo. the two of them leaped into action at the same time, launching a vicious counterattack against their assailants. The two of them had easily defeated their opponents, including the tier 25 powerhouse. No matter how strong he was, he could not unleash his full combat strength due to his heavy injuries. Moreover, with the God Devouring Body, Plain White Snow, and Traceless wind at his disposal, Lin Mo was able to easily defeat all his foes. Lin Mo and Bai Luo had also made sure to loot the bodies of their defeated enemies. While doing so, they discovered two quasi-spirit-grade herbs. They were a rare and precious find. Since Lin Mo had sold off the spirit-grade Blood Lotus previously, the two stalks of spirit herbs had now belonged to Bai Luo instead. Chapter 242 - Danger Lurks Behind an Alluring Veil ¡°Eh?¡± Once all the attackers had been defeated, Lin Mo sensed that there was still something amiss. His soul power was extremely powerful, especially after consuming the Silver Arowana and the other precious resources not too long ago. The person who had set up the trap had yet to leave the area, and was instead watching from the shadows¡­ Lin Mo reckoned that his goal was for Lin Mo and his group to tire themselves out and ambush them once they had let their guards down. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you hid yourself well, but your lack of soul power has failed you,¡± Lin Mo called out. The young man hiding in the dark revealed himself form, his pale face carrying a hint of astonishment. However, he quickly calmed down and snickered. ¡°Things might¡¯ve derailed from the plan, but it¡¯s not too big of a deal.¡± His eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Mo and Bai Luo. It looked as if he thinking about his chances against them. ¡°You sure talk big for someone of your skill. So what, you thinking you can beat the both of us alone?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression remained indifferent as he mocked the young man. ¡°Pff, I wouldn¡¯t even need to use a spirit array to deal with two small fries like you.¡± The youth said sinisterly. His pale face gave off an enigmatic air. ¡°You sound like a savage, which is completely opposite of how you actually act.¡± Lin Mo commented. His expression was calm. The young man¡¯s expression morphed into shock momentarily before returning to his previous expression. ¡°I¡¯m guessing that you¡¯ve got some kind of trump card prepared, right? But that trump card can only be used a limited of times. So, you¡¯re trying to provoke us so that you could use it on both of us at the same time. Am I correct?¡± Lin Mo logically broke down the young man¡¯s actions. He felt that the young man¡¯s behavior was abnormal. Had he actually possessed the talent that he claimed to have, he would not have needed to set up a spirit formation to kill off so many people. He had planned everything to a meticulous level of detail, and his plans had even included dealing with Lin Mo and Bai Luo. There was no way that someone as meticulous as him would commit such a grave mistake as getting caught by Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, your senses are very sharp. Did you sense the danger?¡± The young man sneered. ¡°I did. However, I¡¯d like to see just how powerful your technique is.¡± Lin Mo activated his God Devouring Body, enveloping the entire lake in a pitch-black domain. Then, he walked toward the young man with the intent of taking his attack head on. ¡°You¡¯re courting death,¡± the young man said coldly. With a swoosh, he threw out a talisman of unknown effect. Upon flying out, the talisman instantly morphed into a golden needle. It seemed to contain enough power to pierce all manner of items, be they the heavens or earth themselves. A mere instant later, the golden needle had already reached before Lin Mo¡¯s face, and it exploded, drowning him within an immense burst of power. ¡°A tier 9 attack talisman.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s expression changed drastically. The talisman was an extremely precious treasure. Moreover, the prerequisites for using the talisman were also very minor, which made it a great killing weapon. Had Lin Mo not deployed his God Devouring Body¡¯s domain to consume the talisman¡¯s energy, Lin Mo would have suffered serious injuries from the blast. ¡°Clang.¡± A crisp sound rang out just as the explosion had taken place. Lin Mo had summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet to intercept the attack. ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Mo suddenly yelped in shock. Once the talisman¡¯s energy had dissipated, Lin Mo noticed that a golden needle had been embedded within the Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s forehead. Even a puppet as tough as this was unable to completely block the attack. Although Lin Mo had neutralized the threat, the puppet did not survive unharmed. Once the golden needle fell off, cracks started to appear on the head of the Origin Soul Puppet. Spiritual light flickered in the Dantian of the Origin Spirit Puppet. A moment later, spiritual energy surged out and repaired the puppet¡¯s cracked head. This surprised Lin Mo. he did not expect the puppet to possess such a function. Usually, when puppets were damaged, it was essentially the same as being destroyed. After all, repairing cultivation puppets was a very different process compared to repairing ordinary items. However, Lin Mo¡¯s Origin Spirit Puppet contained a rich well of spiritual energy within its Dantian. It was due to this source of energy that enabled the puppet to repair itself. Upon this realization, Lin Mo suddenly recalled Bai Luo¡¯s surprise over the puppet when she had first seen it. Clearly, the puppet had been famous during ancient times¡­ Due to the damage it had sustained, the Origin Spirit Puppet was temporarily out of commission. As such, Lin Mo had no other choice but to personally take action. However, since his opponent did not seem to have any tier 9 offensive talismans left, Lin Mo had nothing to worry about. With that, Lin Mo and the young man clashed against one another. Plain White Snow was wreathed in flames. This was a flame condensed from Dao principles, and this was the first time Lin Mo had used it in combat. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to hell,¡± said Lin Mo as he shot forward, leaving only an afterimage behind. When Lin Mo reappeared, he was already behind the young man, and there were flames in the shape of wings sprouting from his back. With a flap of the wings, a raging blaze burned in all directions. However, the young man was not an easy opponent to deal with. He moved strangely, and suddenly vanished into thin air. His speed was also extremely fast. Moreover, his realm was higher than Lin Mo¡¯s, and his martial arts were profound. Despite his advantages, he was unable to shake off Lin Mo, and before long, Lin Mo had managed to close the distance between them. ¡°Die!¡± Lin Mo swung Plain White Snow at him, flaring up the runes across the blade and unleashing a pillar of flame that devoured the sky. ¡°Dragon Subduing Technique.¡± The young man exerted his full strength, and a powerful burst of power condensed to form a dragon-shaped projection behind him. However, Lin Mo cared not for the gimmick. With a swing of Plain White Snow, he intercepted the dragon projection head-on. ¡°So powerful¡­¡± Lin Mo was surprised. The power contained within the dragon projection was extremely powerful. It had managed to overpower his sword attack, and yet, it showed no signs of weakening. It shattered the God Devouring Body¡¯s domain, and although the projection had sacrificed much of its power in doing so, it still managed to hit Lin Mo square in the chest. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo unleashed his full power, spreading flames across the dragon projection¡¯s body. While doing so, he expanded his God Devouring Body¡¯s domain even further, turning it from a defense-oriented domain into an offensive one. His goal was to destroy the dragon. ¡°Go to Hell.¡± The young man roared and cut his own wrist. Fresh blood dripped onto the projection, making it even more powerful. Upon receiving the power-up, the dragon projection¡¯s strength reached astronomical levels. ¡°Oh?¡± Sensing the power contained within the projection, Lin Mo was shocked. At the same time, he had also deduced his opponent¡¯s identity. Putting all else aside, if he was someone from the Yanhuang Empire, he would definitely be someone who hailed from the Yanhuang royal family. Otherwise, he would definitely have been targeted by the imperial family since he possessed both a tier 9 treasure as well as a spirit-grade cultivation technique. ¡°Slash!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s arm shot up in pain as the dragon projection crushed Lin Mo¡¯s Sword Qi with its ruthless claw attack. Lin Mo¡¯s defenses had been pierced, and powerful as the God Devouring Body was, the dragon projection¡¯s claw had proved to be even stronger. ¡°This ends here.¡± A cold light flashed in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. Endless flames burst out, and the power of the stars filled the sky. In just an instant, the lake below evaporated, and was replaced instead by a sea of fire. Affected by the sudden environmental shift, the dragon projection almost collapsed. The young man was shocked by the power behind Lin Mo¡¯s flames. As far as he was concerned, Yuan Cang of the Primordial Sun Holy Land was the only one who could manipulate flames to such an extent. ¡°Die!¡± The two of them clashed fiercely. Unable to bear the power contained in their blows, the spirit formation surrounding the lake shatter, revealing the events transpiring above the lake to all onlookers. ¡°Pu.¡± In the end, with his last embers of flame, Lin Mo pierced through the dragon projection and into the young man¡¯s left shoulder. If it was not for the young man¡¯s quick reaction, the attack might had even taken his life. Even so, his injuries were still very serious. He had been injured by the flames of Dao. If left untreated, he would receive a nasty Dao wound. However, Lin Mo gave no such mercy to the young man. Intense flames enveloped Plain White Snow, and Lin Mo struck the young man down between his brows. Chapter 243 - The Crown Prince’s Study Companion, Jin Lie ¡°Stop¡­¡± A low roar sounded out and a powerful pressure spread across the field just as Lin Mo was about to bring down his blade. Perhaps everything had been planned in advance, and the newcomer had been hiding in the dark, waiting for this moment to make his move. In the distant forest, four or five people flew out and quickly rushed over. What shocked Lin Mo the most was the person who was leading the charge, Elder Mo from the imperial family. ¡°He¡¯s from the imperial family?¡± Yan Rong was shocked and broke out in cold sweat in Lin Mo¡¯s place. Things were still in the clear in the moment as the young man was only injured. The extent of the young man¡¯s injury was light enough that the eighth prince could still cover for Lin Mo. However, had Lin Mo actually cut down the person, things would have been the complete opposite, to the point that even the eighth prince might not have the power to protect Lin Mo¡­ After all, in the eyes of the imperial family, Lin Mo was ultimately just a servant¡­ ¡°Hehe, Lin Mo, right? I¡¯ll remember you. I¡¯ll get back at you the next time we meet.¡± The youth smiled, and the golden light on his body gradually faded. It was only now that Lin Mo realized that the young man was not actually his enemy, merely a puppet who had been injected with his enemy¡¯s blood essence. ¡°Your Excellency, Jin Lie, your subordinate apologizes for coming late and giving you a scare.¡± Elder Mo hurriedly ran over and looked at the young man worriedly. Even someone as powerful as Elder Mo had been given quite a fright at this moment. Although he was only a puppet, everyone in the imperial capital knew that the eldest young master of the Heavenly King Manor, Jin Lie, was a temperamental person. Anyone who crossed him, even if it was just a small offense, would have to pay dearly. Some might even have to pay with their lives. ¡°Enough, there¡¯s no need to say more. A loss is a loss.¡± Jin lie waved his hand, as if he did not care. At this point, the surrounding crowd panicked and lost their wits. They knew of the young man¡¯s identity. The eldest young master of the Heavenly King Manor, Jin Lie, was ranked eighth on the Yanhuang Board of Fame. He was the Crown Prince¡¯s study companion. He was an important figure of great status. He was not to be messed around with. Although the onlookers knew not of Lin Mo¡¯s background, nor the reason they had fought, they mourned for Lin Mo. After all, the fact that someone of unknown status had offended the temperamental Jin Lie was bound for a tough future ahead. ¡°I can¡¯t take these treasures with me anymore. Since you¡¯ve defeated me, they now belong to you. However, do you dare to take them from me?¡± Jin Lie ignored Elder Mo and stared down at Li Mo with a pale face before throwing out a ring. Just as Lin Mo had determined, he was merely a puppet that had been injected with Jin Lie¡¯s blood essence and was powered by a large amount of spiritual stones. Now that Lin Mo had inflicted a Dao wound onto the puppet, it would soon stop operating. The puppet¡¯s trip to the ruins was now effectively over, as it could no longer take any of the treasures it had collected away. ¡°Your Excellency Jin Lie, this subordinate can bring these treasures back to you,¡± Elder Mo hurriedly said. At the same time, he glared at Lin Mo and coldly snorted, daring him to make a move. ¡°Enough, you¡¯re not from the Heavenly King Manor. If you do this, rumors will go about.¡± Jin Lie responded. Immediately after, he telepathically contacted Lin Mo, ¡°You seem to be a man of great talents, any chance that you¡¯d like to change families?¡± ¡°Among the princes, the eighth prince¡¯s influence is the weakest. It¡¯s really a pity for you to follow her. Why don¡¯t you join the crown prince¡¯s sect? I can promise that your abilities will soar, and your influence will rival that of a king¡¯s.¡± Lin Mo smiled upon hearing Jin Lie¡¯s message. He extended his hand and accepted the ring in front of him before stating out loud, ¡°Since I¡¯ve defeated you, it is only natural for me to claim my spoils of war. As such, this ring here belongs to me now.¡± ¡°As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?¡± Lin Mo grinned and broke the soul imprint on the ring, startling Jin Lie once again. ¡°Junior, know your limits. You¡¯ve already committed a great crime by injuring His Excellency Jin lie. You still dare to covet his treasures?¡± Elder Mo warned Lin Mo coldly. He was very displeased with Lin Mo since he knew not of the lines he should not cross. Even if with the eighth prince¡¯s backing, Elder Mo doubted that he would become a man of great renown. ¡°You need not worry about me, Old Mo.¡± Lin Mo smiled once again. After cupping his fists and saluting, he quickly left with Bai Luo and the others. As for the blame for ambushing and killing cultivators, Lin Mo would leave it to Jin Lie to handle. Once Lin Mo and his group was gone, miserable screams rang out from the area. Lin Mo knew very well that anyone who learned of this incident would be silenced. True to his expectations, not a single person survived. Jin Lie was the eldest young master of the Heavenly King Manor and was also the crown prince¡¯s study companion. The fact that he had set up an ambush to steal treasures from other cultivators must not be made public. Since Lin Mo had shown no intention to take the blame, the only way forward was for Jin Lie to kill everyone who knew about the truth of the matter¡­ ¡°What a ruthless individual. Were you not under the protection of the eighth prince, I¡¯m afraid that we too, would have to die.¡± Yan Rong said with a chill. As expected, it was more or less a necessity to have a backer in the Yanhuang Divine Empire in order to survive. At the very least, had the eighth prince not existed, the Su family would not have devoted themselves to her, and without the Su family¡¯s protection, the Mu and Sima families would have already killed Lin Mo¡­ Eventually, news of the lakeside atrocity had spread. According to the rumors, the event was orchestrated by an evil individual who forced powerhouses to fight against one another¡­ The traces of Lin Mo and Jin Lie¡¯s battle had been erased by Elder Mo. It was done cleanly, and no one would none the wiser of the events that had transpired. ¡°Lin Mo, when do you plan to auction those items off? Or do you plan on selling some of them to me first?¡± Bai Luo asked. Bai Luo was very curious about the treasures that Jiang Xiyue had sent over. After pestering Lin Mo countless times, he had no other choice but to examine the contents that Jiang Xiyue had sent over. The contents were alright at best. There were two high-grade tier 9 martial arts manuals contained among the items sent over. One of them was a sword technique that Jiang Xiyue had specially found for Lin Mo to cultivate. The other one was a spear technique that Jiang Xiyue had kept in her collection. She wanted to make use of all the auctions going on within the Ancient Flame Ruins to turn it into spiritual stones. Naturally, Lin Mo immediately flipped through the sword technique manual. The spear technique also made Bai Luo very interested. She had mastered the Profound Spear Technique from before and it had greatly increased her strength. Her comprehension of the Dao Principles had reached a brand new height because of it. And now, she had the opportunity to pick up a tier 9 spear technique. If she could comprehend it, her ability to use the spear would undoubtedly soar. ¡°If you want to read it, then go ahead. No need to hold yourself back. We¡¯re all friends here.¡± Lin Mo smiled and lent the spear technique manual to Bai Luo. However, since everyone¡¯s current goal was to locate the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s heirloom, none of them had any intention of entering secluded cultivation at this moment. After all, if they were to miss out on the heirloom, they would regret it for the rest of their lives. ¡°However, Jin Lie did give me some inspiration.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Jin lie had set up an ambush to kill cultivators and to snatch away their treasures. It was indeed a despicable act. However, that was only because he lacked skill. Had he managed to defeat everyone, there would be no one to tell on him. Dead men tell no tales, after all. Lin Mo was somewhat tempted to follow his footsteps. Even with Lin Die¡¯s talents, the speed and efficiency of locating treasures was still lacking. Lin Mo wanted more. When the time came, he would sell everything he had collected. Whatever Bai Luo needed, he could just auction it off. There was no need to pay in spiritual stones. Once that happened, the returns he obtained from the rebate system would be insane. ¡°Are we going to rob others¡¯ too? That¡¯s great! Who should we rob first?¡± Bai Luo¡¯s interest was piqued, and she wanted to go all out. ¡°Well, the Primordial Sun Holy Land is definitely one of our targets. After all, we need to kill Yuan Cang.¡± Lin Mo answered. He knew that Yuan Cang¡¯s existence must have posed a great threat to Jiang Xiyue. That was why she had asked him to kill Yuan Cang. ¡­ Chapter 244 - Encountering Yuan Cang Once More While Lin Mo and Bai Luo were searching for resources, they had encountered Yuan Cang, the Holy Son of the Primordial Sun Holy Land once more. Aside from him, they had also encountered Han Yue, the Holy Daughter of the Profound Azure Holy Land. The two of them were leading the disciples of their respective holy lands to search for treasures, and everywhere they went, huge commotions would ensue. Upon encountering the holy duo, the aura that they exuded had caused Lin Mo to turn pale with fright, but it had also made him tremble with excitement. Lin Mo and Bai Luo were undoubtedly dark horses themselves, and their combat strength was astonishing. One side featured individuals from the Yanhuang Board of Fame, whereas the other side featured dark horses who had only recently made a name for themselves. What would ensue when the two forces collided? Yuan Cang¡¯s strength had improved again, and he was now at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. His pair of fiery eyes emitted a burning sense of hatred. The moment the two sides locked gazes, an earth-shattering eruption ensued. Yuan Cang¡¯s black hair was disheveled, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand. He radiated a regal bearing, as if all creatures in the world was beneath him. Behind him, Han Yue had an outstanding bearing. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her gorgeous eyes darted around the area, sensing for any threats. The two were truly a match made in heaven, and it made onlookers envious. Lin Mo stood in mid-air. He was dressed plainly, but there seemed to be a strange domain around him that made it difficult for spiritual energy to permeate. Beside him, Bai Luo also held a long spear in her hand and remained silent. However, her powerful aura told everyone that she was no pushover either. The two sides immediately leaped into battle without saying a word. The shockwaves that erupted from their battle rattled all living beings around them. These four people could be said to be mortal enemies, destined to have a grudge with the opposing side until the end of time. Yuan Cang pointed his long spear towards the sky and swung it down towards Lin Mo. Recently, rumors had been flying around claiming that his strength had been exaggerated. In reality, he was not a match for Lin Mo at all. It was for this reason that the elders from the Primordial Sun Holy Land had forbidden him from fighting Lin Mo previously. The rumors made Yuan Cang furious. His spear tore through the sky and exploded with an intense killing intent as it charged towards Lin Mo. Lin Mo stayed silent as well. This was the moment he had been waiting for. He had been itching to kill Yuan Cang for a long time. As for Bai Luo and Han Yue, the two of them did not make a move. They were observing the battle while at the same time being wary of the other party. ¡°Clang!¡± In just an instant, the long spear came charging over. Lin Mo intercepted it with Plain White Snow. A shocking shockwave erupted from the intense collision. The two of them retreated at the same time, causing both heaven and earth to tremble as Dao shockwaves spread out. Two fiery-red rays of light blossomed at the same time, blinding the onlookers momentarily. The long spear and the long sword collided. Sparks flew in all directions as flames spread out and consumed each other. The collisions of their weapons caused the sky to tremble slightly. Runes formed in the air and shook the air itself. Balls of flames spread out, erupting into a sea of flames that filled the sky. Lin Mo¡¯s body was attacked, and his arm shook violently. He almost dropped Plain White Snow as a result of the blow. As he staggered backward, he fired a blast of Sword Qi to force Yuan Cang let up on him. Nevertheless, the pain he had experienced in his arm had left him feeling rather shocked. Yuan Cang¡¯s strength had increased, and it had increased by a large margin. Not only had his control over the flames improved, but his physical body had also changed. It was incomparably terrifying. He felt as if he was a demonic beast in human skin. Yuan Cang shared the same astonishment towards Lin Mo as well. With his newfound power, Yuan Cang was certain that he could rank in the top 15 of the Yanhuang Board of Fame. Despite this, Lin Mo had still proven to be a rather difficult enemy to kill. Not only was his body as tough as a rock, it was also extremely difficult to stagger him. More importantly, Lin Mo had gained this amount of power at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and this was when he had yet to reach Perfect Realm. Logically speaking, he should have a massive upper hand just from his tier advantage alone. ¡°Wait, when did you suddenly learn how to use flames?¡± Yuan Cang was struck with a sudden realization and he immediately asked Lin Mo in disbelief. Lin Mo¡¯s sudden boost in strength had caused Yuan Cang to momentarily forget. Lin Mo had originally been a sword cultivator. He was certain of it. The first time they changed blows, Lin Mo had launched countless powerful Sword Qis at him, and the two of them were evenly matched. Now, however, not only did Lin Mo¡¯s strength increase massively, he even mastered how to control flames, pure flames at that, similar to that of the flames of Dao Principles. Could Lin Mo possibly have gained mastery over these pure flames in the short period since we last met? ¡°This is impossible.¡± Yuan Cang roared in anger. He gripped his long spear tightly and soared into the air, emitting a dazzling flame as he attacked once again. A huge dragon formed from flames and descended from the sky. Although Plain White Snow was a tier 9 weapon, it seemed to have fared rather poorly against Yuan Cang¡¯s long spear. From this, Lin Mo reasoned that it was because the spear was a top-grade tier 9 weapon, perhaps even a spirit-grade one. Lin Mo raised his sword to block the attack, but in the next moment, the spirit sword shattered. The weapon that had accompanied him all this time had been broken. A bloody light blossomed. The long spear descended and the fire dragon disappeared. People could vaguely see that Yuan Cang¡¯s spear had pierced through Lin Mo¡¯s head. Was Lin Mo dead? Everyone felt pity for Lin Mo.. Losing due to a weapon quality was truly a pitiful reason. Fire spread across the field and everyone could smell the scent of fresh blood. Although they were quickly incinerated by the flames, they had still caught a whiff of the odor. ¡°Heavens, the result was determined in two moves?¡± It had only taken two spears moves for Yuan Cang to stab the peerless genius known as Lin Mo to death. His strength was truly unbelievable. Yuan Cang¡¯s eyes were cold as he stared down at him. Exerting more power into his attack, he tried his hardest to bring the spear down. The fluctuations produced by the exertion of his power were extremely terrifying, and it caused the onlookers¡¯ hearts to palpitate. ¡°No, Lin Mo is still alive,¡± some people claimed. Yuan Cang did not relax, and he seemed to be exerting even more strength. It was clear that Lin Mo was resisting. However, now that Lin Mo¡¯s weapon had shattered, how could he go against Yuan Cang? The flames surrounding the duo gradually weakened. Many were shocked by what they saw. Lin Mo was levitating in mid-air with blood trickling down and his blade shattered. However, the blood was a result of the shattered blade pieces wounding him, and the same shattered pieces had also wounded Yuan Cang. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked. Using the remaining half of his sword, Lin Mo had intercepted Yuan Cang¡¯s spear. Throughout the entire process, he did not waver. Although half of his sword had shattered, the remaining half was still as sharp as ever, and it emitted a fiery glow as it resisted Yuan Cang¡¯s spear. ¡°Boom!¡± In the next moment, Lin Mo erupted and attacked with the broken sword. Layers of Sword Qi shot forward. The shattering of Plain White Snow did not affect its power whatsoever. The Sword Qi blew past Yuan Cang spear, and landed squarely on his chest, leaving a massive gash on his chest. Everyone turned pale with fright. Lin Mo seemed to have the upper hand. The fact that he had injured Yuan Cang with a broken weapon was prove of that. Another piece of Plain White Snow broke apart. Spotting the piece, Lin Mo then fired a flame and it, causing it to hurtle towards Yuan Cang¡¯s forehead. ¡°Swish.¡± Yuan Cang¡¯s long spear slashed down, deflecting the blade. He moved very quickly and stabbed at Lin Mo again. The two of them continued to exchange blows with each other. The Sword Qi from their attacks soared into the sky together with powerful flames. Many onlookers retreated from the scene, worried that they would get caught in their battle. They were too powerful. The power they possessed was not something they could endure. ¡°Krakoom!¡± The two had exchanged over a hundred blows, and yet, their aura did not diminish at the slightest. However, Lin Mo¡¯s Plain White Snow was in tatters. Each attack from Yuan Cang had only served to whittle the blade, and in the end, Plain White Snow was no longer usable. Chapter 245 - Ill Butcher You Like the Dog You Are With a ¡°snap¡±,the blade of Plain White Snow shattered, leaving only its hilt intact. Lin Mo sighed. He really liked the sword, but now he had no choice but to accept that it was gone for good. It seemed that through his connections with the seventh prince, Yuan Cang had managed to obtain several benefits, including a spirit-grade weapon. Regardless, the two did not exchange any words, and had continued to exchange blows. Lin Mo was in a precarious situation. All he had at his disposal was a tier 8 longsword, but after intercepting a few of Yuan Cang¡¯s strikes, that weapon too, had shattered. With no other option left, Lin Mo used his God Devouring Body to fuse his flames together, forming a temporary longsword made of the flames. After fighting him this long, Lin Mo had realized the true extent of Yuan Cang¡¯s improvement. He had gained a massive power boost, and without a suitable weapon, Lin Mo stood no chance against him. Lin Mo¡¯s chances were slim. With each passing moment, his options only dwindled. He was being pushed into a corner. ¡°Haha, if you want to blame someone, blame your backer for the lack of resources¡­¡± Yuan Cang laughed coldly. The seventh Prince had given him a spirit-grade weapon, while the eighth prince could only give Lin Mo a tier 9 one¡­ ¡°Clang.¡± Another collision rang out. Lin Mo¡¯s arm went numb, and the spiritual energy in his body was greatly depleted. Killing Yuan Cang was proving more difficult by the second. Soon, the commotion in the area grew bigger and bigger. Many people rushed over upon hearing the news, wanting to observe this intense battle. Among them were a number of young prodigies who had made a name for themselves within the ruins. ¡°What did you just say? Lin Mo is losing because of inferior weapon quality?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity. This Lin Mo person is likely a rogue cultivator. He¡¯s from a small background, and thus, he doesn¡¯t possess good weapons¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. He has a weapon, a low-grade tier 9 longsword at that, but it was shattered.¡± Someone corrected him. Rumors traveled fast, and before the battle had even ended, the people within the Dragon Transformation Pool had already caught wind of the situation that was unfolding. More and more people rushed over, wanting to bear witness to the battle between these two. From their point of view, Lin Mo was a dark horse. He had been hightailing it all this time, and he had an impressive track record to boot. As far as the masses were concerned, there were no limits to his potential. Although he was at a disadvantage in the battle against Yuan Cang, the gap between them was actually rather small. This was in spite of Yuan Cang using a spirit-grade weapon against Lin Mo. The fact that Lin Mo was still holding on made him quite a prodigious talent. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the world is cruel. Lin Mo¡¯s realm is one tier lower, and he doesn¡¯t even have a weapon yet.¡± An old man sighed. ¡°That¡¯s true. Lin Mo probably isn¡¯t a match for him¡­¡± Another person added. Even so, everyone was very surprised by Lin Mo¡¯s performance. After all, a wandering cultivator was going toe-to-toe against the Holy Son of a Holy Land. Should Lin Mo survive this battle, his fame would know no bounds, and it was likely that countless forces would try to invite him into their group. Some large factions had even considered saving Lin Mo and recruiting him into their ranks. However, as the shockwaves from the battle between Lin Mo and Yuan Cang grew stronger, they soon gave up on this idea. Although they knew that Lin Mo was very powerful, he would most likely die here and be killed by Yuan Cang. Furthermore, with this much talent, Lin Mo would most likely be taken under the imperial family¡¯s wing. These factions would stand no chance in recruiting him if that were the case¡­ Lin Mo surprise over Yuan Cang¡¯s strength was growing as the battle went on. Yuan Cang was extremely powerful, and he was likely one of the strongest enemies he had ever met. After a bitter battle, Lin Mo was left heavily injured. Although Yuan Cang was also injured, he had deflected most of the heavy blows with his long spear. Even so, Yuan Cang was still in a very sorry state. His clothes were torn, and there were many burn marks across his body. On the other hand, Lin Mo only had a spear wound on his body. The spirit-grade long spear was too powerful. It pierced through the stars and shattered his domain. ¡°Did I lose because of my weapon?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He did not want to admit it, but should this situation continue, he would likely die. In the next moment, Yuan Cang made his move. The long spear pierced through the sky and descended to form a flaming dragon once more. This was the same move that had destroyed Plain White Snow at the start of the battle. It was extremely powerful. Lin Mo theorized that it was a quasi-spirit tier that this was at least a quasi-spirit-grade martial art. In response to this, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze turned ice-cold, and he transformed his spiritual energy into a long sword that danced about. He compressed the flames that enveloped it, and soon after, the sword began to shine with the luster of stars. Gradually, the stars transformed, and the Four Seasons Sword Technique¡¯s spring and autumn cycles began to circulate. Wisps of time principles appeared within it, and Sword Qi surged wildly. It clashed with the fire dragon, creating a violent explosion. ¡°Boom!¡± The two of them were blown away at the same time. Blood splattered everywhere. Their collision generated a massive explosion, causing a crater to form at the epicenter of their attacks. Lin Mo had suffered a heavy injury. His God Devouring Body¡¯s domain was incapable of blocking the attack fully. This was the toughest battle that Lin Mo had ever encountered since he started his career. On the other side, Yuan Cang¡¯s hands were twisted, and they were hanging limply on both sides of his body. The collision had dislocated both of his arms and damaged his meridians. ¡°What? It¡¯s actually a draw?¡± Many people were shocked. Both of them had used their killing moves, only to end up with a draw. It was an unbelievable conclusion. In the distance, the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land were unable to accept the results. Despite being beat in terms of realms and weapons, Lin Mo was still able to escape from the jaws of death. ¡°Sigh, I have to hurry up and pick up a spirit-grade martial art¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. He had already used the principles of time, and yet he was still unable to defeat a user of spirit grade martial arts. Fortunately, their battle had caused his fame to soar. If he were to hold an auction in the ruins, he was certain that he would gain many customers in the blink of an eye. ¡°Hehe¡­ Lin Mo, don¡¯t tell me that you think it¡¯s over?¡± Yuan Cang¡¯s laughter rang out. He stood up. His dislocated arms had been straightened, and all that was left of his wounds were some sword scars across his body. He then took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Lin Mo, thrusting his long spear forward. ¡°Go to hell!¡± Yuan Cang shouted. Although he was injured, his fighting strength did not decrease. Lin Mo gritted his teeth and activated his God Devouring Body. His domain was formed, trapping the long spear and devouring the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish itself. An ear-piercing sound of friction was heard. The long spear pierced into the black hole, and the bright runes above it attacked. ¡°SHATTER IT!¡± Yuan Cang roared and shook the long spear. Flames spread out in an attempt to burn away Lin Mo¡¯s domain and to set Lin Mo ablaze. The air trembled. Lin Mo raised his hand to grab the long spear while unleashing flames of his own. Fresh blood dripped down from his palm. The tip of the spear became even more sharp and it was stabbing into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. The two of them were in a stalemate. Yuan Cang¡¯s attack gradually weakened. Everyone was shocked. The domain that surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body was so powerful that it seemed to be immune to Yuan Cang¡¯s flames. Not only that, it seemed that anyone who entered the domain would have their spiritual energy sucked dry. ¡°My strength isn¡¯t enough, huh. It seems I need to grow stronger still¡­¡± Yuan Cang spat coldly as Lin Mo blocked his attack once again. After exchanging one last blow, the two of them separated. Lin Mo was heavily injured, but the spiritual energy in his body was still abundant. He stared at everyone in a daze. On the other hand, Yuan Cang¡¯s face was pale. Although he had the strength to fight, there was not much spiritual energy left in his body. If this continued, perhaps Yuan Cang would be killed by Lin Mo instead. Both of them were very strong. They had used all their trump cards, and in the end, both of them suffered heavy wounds. ¡°I have to hurry up and get some resources. I also have to learn the newly acquired tier 9 martial arts,¡± Lin Mo said to himself. Although he was heavily injured, he had also gained a lot in this battle. ¡°Lin Mo, I¡¯ll give you time. Catch up to my cultivation realm and get yourself a good weapon. When the time comes, I¡¯ll kill you,¡± Yuan Cang said coldly. ¡°You know that I¡¯ll butcher you like a dog if we¡¯re in the same realm, right?¡± Lin Mo claimed confidently. Chapter 246 - Ancient City Those words were extremely arrogant, but it had also showed Lin Mo¡¯s confidence. However, no one dared to laugh at him, as Lin Mo had already proven his strength. Furthermore, Lin Mo had gained the upper hand by the end of the battle. This was in spite of his cultivation level, his weapon, as well as his martial arts technique being of an inferior rank to Yuan Cang¡¯s. By all accounts, Lin Mo should have lost the battle, and yet, that was not the case. He had managed to overcome the overwhelming disadvantage he had in the earlier stages of the battle, and should the battle go on, there was a high likelihood that he would have turned the battle around and achieve victory. Should that happen, news of his feat was bound to spread, earning him a rank on the Yanhuang Board of Fame, and solidifying his position as a god of combat in a single battle. Yuan Cang of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had gone all out in the battle against Lin Mo. Despite all the supposed advantages that he had, he was still knocked down a peg by someone a tier below him. This was shocking news that had the potential to spread Lin Mo¡¯s name far and wide within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. In fact, if he could continue to grow while maintaining his status as a rogue cultivator, his status could reach unmeasurable heights, and he might even get the chance to leave the eastern continent¡­ The many disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land standing in the distance were all silent. Han Yue shared their silence as well. Her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Lin Mo, shocked by how powerful he was. Although Yuan Cang had the upper hand in the beginning, Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual energy seemed to be endless. Together with his domain that could seemingly block everything, he slowly gained the upper hand against Yuan Cang. ¡°No, you¡¯re wrong. He¡¯s not a rogue cultivator.¡± Someone spoke up. After hearing what he said, some individuals recalled Lin Mo¡¯s supposed backer. Back in Lin City, Lin Mo had teamed up with the eighth prince to chase out the second and fourth prince¡¯s followers out of Lin City. Even Bloody-handed Cao Zhen of the Yanhuang Wanted List, had been killed as a result of their team-up. Despite offending the second prince and the fourth prince, Lin Mo was still safe and sound, and he had even come to Ancient Flame City to cultivate further. All of these signs indicated that Lin Mo was taken under the eighth prince¡¯s wing. ¡°That¡¯s right, he has a backer. Sigh, I thought we could¡¯ve recruited a peerless genius into our sect.¡± ¡°But I heard that Yuan Cang has a powerful backer of his own. To think that Lin Mo actually dares to make a move on him. How bold.¡± ¡°Shut up. Is this something that can be discussed?¡± Someone interrupted that person on the spot and sternly berated him. Everyone knew that the internal affairs of the Yanhuang Divine Empire were quite chaotic. The princes were embroiled in a vicious power struggle, and there were even rumors of the Emperor abdicating the throne to one of the princes. There were even rumors that on the streets of the imperial city, a seemingly unremarkable beggar could actually be a peerless expert who was under the backing of one of the princes¡­ ¡°Forget it. We got a good show out of this fight anyway.¡± ¡°Indeed, and that lady in white at the side there also feels very powerful.¡± ¡°Yeah, she might potentially rank in the top 15 of the Yanhuang Board of Fame just from the aura she exudes. She¡¯s definitely not one to be underestimated.¡± ¡°Since it seems that she¡¯s part of Lin Mo¡¯s group, could she also be¡­¡± Upon the reveal of Lin Mo¡¯s backer, many people¡¯s thoughts soon went into overdrive. There was more than meets the eye to the eighth prince¡¯s influence. She had been known to be a weak backer in the past, but all of a sudden, two peerless geniuses under her wing had appeared. However, there were also some people who denied that the white-clothed woman was a part of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Qianqian, the eighth prince has hidden her cards rather well, huh. Those two peerless geniuses, when does she intend on fielding them?¡± Elder Mo brought some people to watch from afar. Qianqian was one of them. He looked at Lin Mo with a hint of fear in his eyes. Such talent was too great a threat. Given time, Lin Mo would probably make it into the top ten of the Yanhuang Board of Fame. As someone devoted to the crown prince, it was his job to keep an eye on, as well as to remove any threats to the crown prince. However, now that Lin Mo was officially a personnel of the eighth prince, if he were to make a move on him, Elder Mo¡¯s head would likely end up on the chopping block¡­ ¡°Elder Mo, please forgive me. The meeting between Her Highness and Lin Mo was purely by chance. The two of them hit it off almost instantly, and it is for that reason that they¡¯ve befriended one another.¡± Qianqian said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Elder Mo smiled faintly and said disapprovingly, ¡°Hehe, but he has offended the fourth prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince one after another. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to live for long¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for Elder Mo to worry about this. I heard that he has quite a few treasures on him. Since Elder Mo has been ordered to collect treasures from this ruin, I believe that you can purchase some from him,¡± Qianqian continued. Everyone present was shocked. They looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. As more and more people rushed over, waves of powerful auras stared at Lin Mo. some of them even carried killing intent. ¡°Buzz.¡± Suddenly, the air trembled and a figure appeared seemingly out of thin air. It was the patriarch of the Su clan, Su Hanhai. ¡°Hmph.¡± Su Hanhai let out a cold snort as soon as he appeared. He looked around him. A powerful aura surged out from him. Those who wished to do harm against Lin Mo immediately shrunk back upon spotting Su Hanhai. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s an ancient city ahead. There are many people there.¡± With that, Su Hanhai led Lin Mo and his group and away from the battlefield. Some people who heard this were also very curious about that ancient city. They went after Su Hanhai. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll follow them and collect treasures as well.¡± Elder Mo waved his hand and led his group after Su Hanhai. The elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land rushed over. After confirming that Yuan Cang was fine, they heaved a sigh of relief. They led Yuan Cang and the other disciples away from the area. With the two stars of the show now gone, there was no point for the others to stay. Some people left for the ancient city that Su Hanhai had mentioned. ¡­ There were many dark green vines crawling all over the ancient city. Inside, there were broken and dilapidated walls everywhere. The spiritual energy was quite abundant. If one cultivated here, the efficiency would be off the charts. There were many people living inside the ancient city. Originally, many had assumed the space within the Dragon Transformation Pool to consist of only forests and mountains. As such, the ancient city¡¯s discovery had come as a surprise to them. Su Hanhai brought Lin Mo to an ancient palace. The murals in the ancient palace depicted some birds and beasts. It was extremely quiet there, and there was an air of Zen within the city. Almost subconsciously, everyone was unwilling to fight in the city, unwilling to destroy its peaceful atmosphere. This place had also become the stronghold for most settlers. Some had set up stalls to sell the treasures they had obtained. If not for the dilapidated buildings and overgrown weeds, this place would have been a bustling city. ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, are you alright?¡± Su Hanhai looked at Lin Mo, who had finished his cultivation, and asked carefully. ¡°Elder Su, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m already fine.¡± Lin Mo stood up. The injuries on his body had long since recovered. After changing his clothes, he walked into the ancient hall to check. ¡°Yuan Cang has become stronger again. It seems that he has obtained a number of treasures within the Dragon Transformation Pool.¡± Su Hanhai said. Initially, Lin Mo¡¯s strength had grown so dramatically that Su Hanhai had initially expected Lin Mo to easily trample Yuan Cang. He did not expect the latter to also improve drastically. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The next time we meet, I¡¯ll kill him.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Yuan Cang had indeed grown stronger. Moreover, he also had a spirit-grade cultivation method and martial arts. That long spear of his was also a spirit grade weapon, and it made for a difficult weapon to go against. At this moment, the ancient city was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about Lin Mo. . Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was extraordinary, despite his cultivation realm lagging behind. Despite all his disadvantages, he still manage to eke out a draw in his battle against Yuan Cang. This was not something that could be done easily. Even the top ten individuals in the Yanhuang Board of Fame would be hard-pressed to survive against Yuan Cang with all the disadvantages that Lin Mo was under. Chapter 247 - Holding An Auction ¡°What did you just say? You¡¯re going to hold an auction here?¡± Su Hanhai was stunned. He was extremely shocked when he heard Lin Mo¡¯s plan. They were in a ruin, and aside from the usual dangers that came with ruins, there was also the matter of others stealing his goods away to worry about. Holding an auction here could be said to be the height of folly. ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. I need spiritual stones, a lot a lot of spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. The Origin Spirit Puppet required spiritual stones, his cultivation required spiritual stones, and now, Lin Die also needed spiritual stones. Not only that, they also needed all sorts of natural treasures, spirit herbs, spirit insects, and spirit pills. They could not do without any of these resources. Moreover, Lin Mo also needed a new weapon. He felt a great heartache over the destruction of Plain White Snow. In order to obtain a new weapon in the least time possible, the only option he had was to conduct an auction. ¡°I hope that the rebates from the auction will give me something useful.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. At the same time, he had already formulated a plan in his heart. If he was going to hold the auction, he would need to hold a big one. There were quite a number of factions that had entered the ruins. Among them, there was no lack of peerless geniuses, Holy Lands, or powerful clans. ¡°Oh right, the people from the Purple Moon Holy Land have also come to the ruins. I¡¯ve previously joined hands with their elders to break through a magic array,¡± Su Hanhai stated out loud. If Lin Mo insisted and was willing to promise the folks from the Purple Moon Holy Land some benefits, Su Hanhai was certain that they would lend a hand. ¡°Who else can you pull over?¡± Lin Mo asked. In normal circumstances, having a Holy Land to back him up would be more than enough. However, Lin Mo had offended quite a number of people, and thus, he would like as many heavy hitters as possible to support him. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. If you can get that Elder Mo from the imperial family to participate, all your worries would be for naught.¡± If the royal family were to attend his auction, no one would dare to cause any trouble to him. However, if that was the case, some of the top-grade treasures might not be able to be sold at a high price. After all, not many people would dare to compete against the royal family. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible,¡± Lin Mo said. He knew what Elder Mo¡¯s goal was. He was here to collect high-quality treasures and to ensure that those outside the royal family were unable to secure any good treasures. If he could manage to draw a crowd to his auction, he was certain that Elder Mo would attend as well. If that were the case, he could request for Elder Mo¡¯s assistance¡­ ¡°Bai Luo, go and find Qianqian together with Elder Su to seek her help.¡± ¡°Yan Rong, you and I are going to ask for the Purple Moon Holy Land¡¯s help instead.¡± Lin Mo instructed with a smile, but in the next moment, Bai Luo rolled his eyes at him. ¡°Are you trying to wring me of all my worth before I leave?¡± Bai Luo glared at Lin Mo. ¡°Are we not friends? This had better be worth my trouble.¡± Bai Luo added. ¡°Cough cough, when the time comes, I will give you a batch of cultivation resources. I guarantee you that it will be bountiful.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and said. In the end, under Su Hanhai¡¯s shocked gaze, Lin Mo had promised to hand Bai Luo any spirit-grade treasures she desired. Only then, did Bai Luo felt satisfied. The group split into two subgroups. Navigating based on the map that Su Hanhai had given him, Lin Mo led Yan Rong and Lin Die to the residence of the Purple Moon Holy Land. ¡°This isn¡¯t bad. They aren¡¯t too far from where we were located.¡± Lin Mo grinned. He looked at an ancient temple in front of him and walked forward. ¡°Stop.¡± Just as he was about to walk up into the building, two female disciples guarding the door stopped Lin Mo. ¡°This is the territory of the Purple Moon Holy Land. Please leave.¡± The two female disciples warned. ¡°I am Lin Mo. I am here to visit under the guidance of the Patriarch of the Su family.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and introduced himself. ¡°You¡¯re Lin Mo?¡± The two women widened their eyes in surprise as they sized Lin Mo up. ¡°Hold on.¡± With that, the two of them turned around and entered the temple. There were a dozen or so women with veils across their faces sitting cross-legged within the temple. Despite the veils, Lin Mo could tell from the aura that they emitted that these dozen or so females possessed enough beauty to ruin a nation¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, isn¡¯t he one of the eighth prince¡¯s underlings?¡± An old woman walked over from within the temple and asked in puzzlement. ¡°He said that he came to visit under the suggestion of Elder Su,¡± said the two disciples. ¡°There was a point in time when we had sought for the eighth prince¡¯s protection, but we got rejected. So, why is this Lin Mo appearing before us now?¡± The old woman muttered to herself. Her eyes were filled with doubt, but she dared not voice her thoughts aloud. Lin Mo¡¯s identity was sensitive, and coupled with his extraordinary talent, he was not one to be underestimated. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and invited him in. Lin Mo felt a little out of place within the temple, since the disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were all women, and each of them was as beautiful as a flower. All those charming gazes focusing on him had made him rather uncomfortable. ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, why have you come here?¡± The old woman said with a respectful attitude. What shocked Lin Mo was that the old woman¡¯s strength rivaled Su Hanhai¡¯s. With the amount of power she wielded, Lin Mo was certain that she held a rather high position within the Purple Moon Holy Land. As such, he could not for the life of him, figure out why she was being this courteous towards him. Qin Yu, who was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, was also a first-class expert within the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Of course, this was assuming that no Nirvana Realm experts had existed within the Imperial Capital. Su Hanhai had informed Lin Mo that she was the leader of the Purple Moon Holy Land¡¯s current expedition team, as well as the fifth elder of the Holy Land. ¡°I wish to collaborate with the Purple Moon Holy Land. If you¡¯re curious about the payment, how does a tier 9 spear technique manual and a tier 9 sword technique manual sound?¡± The moment he opened his mouth, Lin Mo announced his goal for being there. Two tier 9 manuals were a splendid payment, and even for a Holy Land, they were resources that could not be ignored. People like Yuan Cang who possessed spirit-grade martial art techniques had either received it from the royal family, or as an heirloom from their ancestors. However, from the looks of it, the Purple Moon Holy Land did not seem to possess the resources to nurture their young talents. After all, even the strongest member of the Purple Moon Holy Land, who was their Holy Daughter, had only ranked within the top 40 in the Yanhuang Board of Fame. She was already ranked last among the holy children of all the Holy Lands. Should this situation persist, there was a high chance that the Purple Moon Holy Land faced destruction. ¡°Two tier 9 martial art manuals?¡± The disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were stunned by what they just heard. Those who could casually take out such resources were truly beings to be feared. As far as the disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were concerned, the eighth prince had regarded Lin Mo rather highly¡­ ¡°In that case, may I know what you expect of the Purple Moon Holy Land?¡± Qin Yu asked. ¡°I plan to hold a large-scale auction in the ancient city, and I wish for Elder Qin Yu to watch over the event.¡± At the same time, Lin Mo also expressed that the auction would benefit them greatly as well. So long as they possessed enough spiritual stones or treasures to be exchanged, they were in a for a good treat. ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, but two tier 31 cultivators is hardly enough to hold back an entire city-wide crowd.¡± Qin Yu shook her head. She was very tempted by Lin Mo¡¯s conditions, but she could not fulfill his demands. Heck, the scope of Lin Mo¡¯s task was so huge that unless one was a Nirvana Realm cultivator, it would be simply impossible to carry out. If she was acting alone, she would gladly take on the risk. However, she was the fifth elder of the Purple Moon Holy Land. This was no longer just about her. Chapter 248 - Forming an Alliance ¡°I¡¯ve also invited someone else. Elder Mo from the imperial family might also participate,¡± Lin Mo added. After laying out all the benefits of his auction to Qin Yu, being the smart person she was, she naturally figured out what Elder Mo¡¯s goal was. The fact that someone was willing to organize an auction of this scale had likely meant that there was at least one or more spirit-grade treasures to be sold. As such, by providing security to the auction, Elder Mo would also be able to fulfill his own mission should any spirit-grade items appear. This would be a win-win situation for both sides. In that case, Elder Mo would likely accept Lin Mo¡¯s offer. ¡°Alright, if you manage to get Elder Mo to join, then I too will participate. I was planning to get rid of some spirit-grade items anyway.¡± Convinced by Lin Mo¡¯s proposal, Qin Yu nodded and accepted his offer. So long as members of the royal family were present, Qin Yu was certain that no one would dare to disrupt the event. As for those who cared not for their lives, she could easily dispatch them together with Su Hanhai. ¡°Haha, if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have to thank Elder Qin Yu.¡± Lin Mo smiled, shook her hand, and threw out two scrolls. ¡°This is?¡± Qin Yu took the scrolls, feeling a little puzzled. Lin Mo smiled, cupped his fists at Qin Yu, and said, ¡°I believe that you are a woman of your word, so I¡¯m paying you in advance.¡± Qin Yu was very satisfied with Lin Mo¡¯s actions, and her impression of Lin Mo had improved by quite a bit. It was unfortunate that Lin Mo was not part of the Purple Moon Holy Land¡­ ¡°Young friend, you are indeed a straightforward individual. I hope that we will collaborate more often in the future. The Purple Moon Holy Land will gladly accept your offers.¡± Qin Yu said with a smile. With that, the Purple Moon Holy Land and Lin Mo were now on good terms. Qin Yu was hoping that their amiable relationship would be able to catch the eighth prince¡¯s eye¡­ If so, the danger that was posed to the Purple Moon Holy Land could be resolved smoothly. After leaving the Purple Moon Holy Land¡¯s residence, Lin Mo returned to the Su family¡¯s headquarters. However, he discovered that Elder Mo of the imperial family was already waiting for him. ¡°This junior Lin Mo greets Elder Mo.¡± Lin Mo bowed respectfully. ¡°No need for formalities. Let¡¯s get down to business.¡± Elder Mo spoke indifferently and slowly walked to the head seat and sat down. ¡°I heard that you want to hold an auction here?¡± Elder Mo continued indifferently. He looked as if he did not care about the auction at all. Lin Mo could not help but grumble in his heart. Why come here in the first place if you don¡¯t care? Despite his inner thoughts, Lin Mo maintained a friendly demeanor as he nodded and responded, ¡°Indeed, I was quite depressed over the loss of my weapon, and thus, I was hoping to find a new, more suitable weapon.¡± ¡°It just so happens that I am a veteran in the auction industry, and the first idea that came to mind was to hold an auction.¡± Following that, Lin Mo told everyone about the stakes involved, causing everyone to nod their heads. The few people beside Elder Mo looked at Lin Mo, their eyes filled with praise. It was indeed a win-win situation. Moreover, their mission this time was to collect spirit-grade treasures. The fact that they could purchase those items via legitimate means would also assuage the public¡¯s worries of having the spirit-grade items taken by force. If news of the auction were to spread, the difficulty of completing their mission would drop drastically, and their throughput would also increase. Thinking of this, the folks from the imperial family stared long and hard at Lin Mo. Elder Mo sat at the head of the table and pondered for a moment. In the end, under everyone¡¯s delighted gazes, he nodded his head. ¡°Sounds good. Young friend, please rest assured. This old man will definitely support you when the time comes.¡± Before leaving, he chatted casually with Lin Mo and had thrown all formalities aside. After sending him off, Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s finally settled. Next, it¡¯s time to spread the news.¡± Su Hanhai let out a sigh of relief and smiled as well. ¡°You can leave the matter of spreading the news to us.¡± There were many people from the Su family, and there were even disciples from the Purple Moon Holy Land who could be called over to help. Therefore, news of the auction had spread very quickly. ¡°Hey, have you heard? The Su family and the Purple Moon Holy Land have joined hands to hold a large-scale auction in the ancient city.¡± ¡°Is this for real? Who would participate in an auction in the ruins?¡± Many people questioned who would reveal their treasures in the ruins. ¡°It¡¯s absolutely true. Moreover, this matter has even gained the attention of the royal family¡¯s Elder Mo.¡± ¡°I heard that the old man is looking forward to the auction. He has prepared a large amount of funds to purchase the treasures.¡± ¡°No way, even Elder Mo is participating?¡± Everyone was shocked. by that piece of info. They thought that it was just a normal collaboration between two factions. Never had they expected the royal family to participate. ¡°I heard that spirit-grade treasures will appear in the auction. That is how they managed to gain Elder Mo¡¯s attention.¡± ¡°Think about it, who would dare to come and cause trouble at the auction if Elder Mo is present?¡± ¡°That makes sense. I have to go and take a look.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Five days later. The Lin clan auction was hosted by Lin Mo, and it was held in a ruin, a place where one¡¯s wealth should never be exposed at. Throughout the auction, the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Ancient Flame City¡¯s Su clan would provide protection for the attendees. At the same time, the imperial family¡¯s Elder Mo had also attended, and it was his hope that the auction could be held smoothly, without any trouble. It was a thinly-veiled threat, and the warning was crystal clear for all who heard it. Elder Mo¡¯s presence was also the main reason that the auction had managed to attract such a massive crowd. With the royal family¡¯s experts as their guarantee, what else were they worried about? Since there were more people than Lin Mo had expected, Lin Mo had chosen a huge square in the ancient city to host his auction at. There were quite a few stone tables set up on the outskirts of the square. This was the outermost layer, and was used by others to trade treasures below the 8th tier. The deeper they went, the rarer the treasures they could trade. Attendees could trade treasures directly, or, they could bid for it in an auction-like manner. At the very center of the square was Lin Mo¡¯s auction stage. Even the lowest level of treasures auctioned there would be tier 9 treasures, and at rarest, there were even spirit-grade ones. With Elder Mo guaranteeing the event¡¯s safety, Lin Mo allowed Yan Rong, Bai Luo, and Lin Die to peddle their wares below tier 9. If luck was on his side, Lin Mo could sell the treasures obtained via the rebate system from their sales once again, thus recycling his goods. ¡°Hmph, this Lin Mo actually created such a big scene. Isn¡¯t he afraid that the event will spiral beyond his control?¡± A young man snorted coldly and said with disdain. ¡°Hehe, aren¡¯t you the Mu family¡¯s Mu Feng? Why, are you jealous of Lin Mo¡¯s ability?¡± A Su family disciple heard this and immediately mocked him. ¡°Mu Feng, don¡¯t argue with others.¡± An elder said and berated Mu Feng. The elder ignored the disciple of the Su family. ¡°As expected, experts from all over have come. I wonder how many treasures they brought with them¡­¡± In the middle of the square, Lin Mo stood on his high platform, beaming as he watched the grand occasion unfold. There were many attendees, and so too were there many spirit-grade treasures. The fact that the owners had handed their wares for him to auction off delighted Lin Mo to no end. All in all, there were around 150 tier 9 treasures, and this left Lin Mo genuinely surprised. ¡°Three spirit-grade treasures. With the help of the rebate system, I can sell a couple more spirit-grade items to Elder Mo as well. With that, his spirit-grade item quota should be satisfied.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. What he was most worried about was a lack of spirit-grade treasures, and that Elder Mo would not gain much from his auction. However, with so many tier 9 treasures now at his disposal, Lin Mo refused to believe that he would not obtain any spirit-grade items from the rebate system. ¡°No wonder Elder Qin Yu rejected me in the beginning.¡± Lin Mo sighed. There were too many attendees. The massive plaza was already swarming with participants, and many had already begun trading at the outermost perimeter. Not long after, a restless murmur ran through the crowd. A bird flew over from afar, carrying over a dozen people on its back. Chapter 249 - Nirvana Pill of Life and Death ¡°It¡¯s Elder Mo!¡± The crowd marveled at the sight. No one in the ancient city would dare to act so ostentatiously besides members of the royal family. Elder Mo¡¯s appearance had cut short Lin Mo¡¯s opening speech as he had directly urged Lin Mo to begin the auction. ¡°Since Elder Mo is here, let the auction begin!¡± On the stage, Lin Mo¡¯s lips curled into a grin as he took out the first item to be auctioned and drew everyone¡¯s attention. Below the stage, Elder Mo was stunned as he looked at the item in Lin Mo¡¯s hand with great interest. ¡°This is actually a medicinal formula!¡± Elder Mo exclaimed in surprise. The value of a medicinal formula was very high, even surpassing that of a spirit pill. If it was given as a gift to some extremely adept alchemists, they would definitely repay the deed in kind. However, the people present were not interested. This was because the probability of becoming an alchemist was extremely low, as there were strict compatibility requirements with one¡¯s attributes. At the same time, one also needed to be both strong and rich in soul power. Just this point alone was enough to make countless people give up on the profession. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, for I am no alchemist.¡± Elder Mo sighed. Although he was interested in the formula, he reined his desires in for the sake of his mission. ¡°Everyone, this is a high-grade tier 9 pill formula, the Nine Transformation Dragon Pill,¡± Lin Mo said while holding the pill formula in his hand. ¡°What, the Nine Transformation Dragon Pill?¡± The crowd¡¯s eyes widened as they stared at Lin Mo attentively. ¡°The Nine Transformation Dragon Pill. This is a heaven-defying spirit pill that can allow one in the Dragon Transformation Realm to break through nine tiers all at once.¡± Naturally, there were limitations to its usage. The highest tier it could reach was the 25th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Tier 30 and 31 were the choke points for the Dragon Transformation Realm, and they were hard to break out of. This was due to the fact that both realms relied purely on one¡¯s cultivation efforts, and no external items could affect the rate of cultivation at these stages. That is, of course, only if the external items were of ordinary quality. If one possessed a spirit grade, or even earth-grade spirit pill, then it would be a different matter altogether. ¡°Is it really the formula for refining a Nine Transformation Dragon Pill? If It¡¯s true, I¡¯ll buy it, even if I have to go bankrupt to do so¡­¡± An old man spoke up in an excited tone. ¡°Indeed, what a rarity of a first item this is. Even if all other items are duds, this item alone has already made this auction worthwhile.¡± Another person exclaimed. At the same time, everyone turned their gazes to elder Mo. Everyone present were individuals of a certain level of status and strength, as such, they knew very well of the status and influence that Elder Mo wielded. Elder Mo¡¯s interest was equivalent to the imperial family¡¯s interest, so to say. No one would dare to cross the imperial family unless they had a death wish, or if they were doing it as an act of rebellion. However, after taking a look at Elder Mo¡¯s face, the crowd became elated. After all, Elder Mo seemed to be disinterested in the pill formula. The old man who was initially tempted by the item laughed out loud on the spot, telling Lin Mo to stop wasting time and quickly announce the price of the item. ¡°Hehe, since it looks like most of you are aware of what this pill does, I¡¯ll cut the introduction short then. In any case, the starting price for this formula is 10 thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Since bidding in terms of low-grade spiritual stones would result in very large numbers, we¡¯ll use mid-grade spiritual stones instead, since it¡¯s more convenient to calculate.¡± Lin Mo explained himself. The price of 10 thousand mid-grade spiritual stones was equivalent to 100 million low-grade spiritual stones. It was a costly expenditure. ¡°This a fair price of an item of this value. I¡¯ll bid 10,500 mid-grade spiritual stones!¡± ¡°11,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± Even though many had found the item too expensive, there was a minority who realized the true value of the item and fiercely bid for it. However, most of those who bid for the item were from Holy Lands or major clans, and those who were rogue cultivators were few and far between. After all, the item in question was a pill formula, not a spirit pill. ¡°May I ask if it¡¯s okay to trade items instead if we¡¯re lacking in spiritual stones?¡± At this moment, an old man stood up. His powerful strength shocked Lin Mo. Lin Mo had not detected the person¡¯s presence via his soul power. Had he not seen him with his naked eyes, he would not even have realized that there was someone there. ¡°Sure, but it depends on what item you¡¯re intending to trade.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Naturally, he supported bartering as well. ¡°I have a pill formula of the same level as the item you¡¯re auctioning away. It is used on puppets and can increase their strength.¡± The old man said and briefly introduced the effects of his spirit pill. At the same time, he added, ¡°If you are willing to trade your formula for mine, I¡¯m willing to take a loss and add in another completed spirit pill as well.¡± The man spoke his offer with great confidence. He had been digging into Lin Mo for a while, and from what he had learned, Lin Mo possessed a puppet with formidable combat prowess. He was certain that Lin Mo would be tempted by his spirit pill formula. ¡°Oh, are you serious?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. He did not expect to obtain such an item to be offered up. A spirit pill that could increase the strength of a puppet was undoubtedly a beneficial item for him. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll regard your bid as 17 thousand mid-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who can top this price?¡± Lin Mo pondered for a moment before setting a price for the old man¡¯s treasure. The crowd fell into silence. The bid had increased by 6 thousand in a single go. The increase was too much for anyone to handle. ¡°Since there¡¯s no one else who is willing to bid, this first item will go to this man right here then.¡± Lin Mo smiled and tossed the pill formula over to the old man. The old man took it and scanned it with his soul energy. Nodding in satisfaction, he then brought out a jade bottle and a scroll and tossed it over to Lin Mo. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the high-grade tier 9 Dragon Transformation Pill Formula. ] [ You have successfully triggered a 10,000 fold rebate. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit-grade tier 3 Life and Death Nirvana Pill Formula. ] ¡°Holy sh*t! A 10 thousand fold rebate right at the start?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A tier 3 spirit-grade item. This was undoubtedly a good start to the auction. The rebate system was truly an awesome existence. Lin Mo looked at the effects of the Life and Death Nirvana Pill, and the joy on his face could no longer be concealed. The Life and Death Nirvana Pill could increase the success rate of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm by 50% . Moreover, even if he failed to break through, using the pill would result in no side effects afflicting him. At the same time, he would also retain much of his accumulated soul energy. Due to the accumulated energy, the success rate of the next breakthrough would shoot up to a staggering 80%. With the Life and Death Nirvana Pill in his possession, so long as he did not mess around, he was practically guaranteed to break through into the Nirvana Realm. The auction continued. Lin Mo quickly shook off his excitement and brought out yet another auction item. ¡°This Darksteel Flame Ruler right here was entrusted to me by a friend. It was obtained from the Ancient Flame Ruins.¡± ¡°Its grade is low-grade tier 9. Moreover, it¡¯s incomplete, but it¡¯s still possible to repair it.¡± ¡°Plus, even though it¡¯s only a low-grade tier 9 item, from my experiments with it, its power is comparable to a mid-grade tier 9 item, and its toughness rivals that of a high-grade.¡± A fiery-red ruler appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. However, it was only a short section, as someone had used a sharp weapon to slice the front of it off, causing it to be damaged piece. Otherwise, the Darksteel Flame Ruler at its peak would definitely be a high-grade 9th rank weapon. ¡°Oh, this ruler is rather popular.¡± Elder Mo, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ruler. ¡°Haha, you have a keen eye, Elder Mo. Indeed, there is more to this Darksteel Flame Ruler than meets the eye. Before it was damaged, it was a high-grade tier 9 weapon. Plus, it¡¯s still rather rough on the edges right now, but with enough refinement, its potential can be unleashed even further.¡± As soon as these words were said, the entire crowd was shocked. ¡°I want it.¡± Elder Mo smiled. This was the first time he had made a move, and it had caused the entire crowd to go silent at his declaration. This further indicated how much of a treasure the item was. However, since Elder Mo had already shown interest in the item, naturally, no one dared to participate in the bidding. ¡°The starting bid for this Darksteel Flame Ruler is 4 thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo announced. ¡°Then I¡¯ll bid 8 thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± Chapter 250 - Huge Harvest 8,000 mid-grade spiritual stones was right around the price of the non-damaged version of the Darksteel Flame Ruler. As such, by making this trade, Lin Mo had effectively covered the cost of the original item, and it was also a great deal for him, since it was now broken. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a low-grade tier 9 Darksteel Flame Ruler ] [ You have successfully triggered a 3000-fold rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a high-grade tier 9 Prototype Darksteel Flame Ruler ] There was a high chance of obtaining the complete form of an item from auctioning its incomplete form. As a result, Lin Mo now had the means to produce a complete Darksteel Flame Ruler using the prototype he had just obtained. However, since Lin Mo had yet to learn any forging techniques, by the time he could forge his own weapons, he would likely have already acquired a spirit-grade one. Hence, the only use of the Prototype Blacksteel Flame Ruler in his possession was merely to serve as a supply of spiritual energy. The auction proceeded smoothly, and Lin Mo¡¯s wares were flying off the shelves. The item that had hyped up the crowd the most was a martial art manual, a spear manual. ¡°A top-grade tier 9 spear technique, All-out Strike. I purchased this manual from the Purple Moon Holy Land at a high cost. Since my friend has already read through it, I no longer have a use for it and wish to auction it off.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s introduction aroused everyone¡¯s interest. Almost subconsciously, everyone turned their gazes towards Elder Mo. Upon confirming that Elder Mo was uninterested in the item, the crowd leaped with excitement and hurriedly ushered Lin Mo to give the starting bid. ¡°The bids for the top-grade tier 9 spear technique, All-out Strike will start at 12,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Lin Mo, I have a top-grade tier 9 sword technique on me. Are you willing to trade that manual with me if I top up another 5,000 mid-grade spiritual stones?¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll offer a bottle of Yin-yang Divine Spring Water.¡± ¡°I also have a high-grade tier 9 martial arts manual. My young friend, let¡¯s trade.¡± The moment Lin Mo announced the starting price, a continuous stream of bids rang out from below, each one higher than the previous one. After thinking through all his options, Lin Mo felt that the bottle of Yin-yang Divine Spring Water would prove the most useful for him. If he were to immerse himself in the spring water whilst cultivating, there was a high chance that he could comprehend the Dao principles related to the eight-trigrams of Taiji. It was an extremely precious resource, and thus, Lin Mo had no intentions of auctioning of. He would use the spring water for his own cultivation purposes. ¡°I¡¯ll take up the bidder who offered the Yin-yang Divine Spring Water. Let us trade, then.¡± Lin Mo smiled and tossed his spear technique to the gentleman who had made the offer. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a top-grade tier 9 spear technique, All-out Strike ] [ 2,000 times auction rebate triggered ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit-grade tier 1 spear technique, Blazing Divine Spear ] Although a 2,000 times rebate was a rather small figure, Lin Mo was gladdened by the fact that he had received a spirit-grade technique manual. After all, with that manual, the matter of Bai Luo¡¯s reward would be settled. ¡°Moving on.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he took out a scroll and said, ¡°This manual contains the instructions to learn the top-grade tier 9 sword technique, Gentle Water Arts.¡± ¡°Once again, this is an item that I purchased at a high cost from the Purple Moon Holy Land.¡± ¡°This is a treasure that no sword cultivator should miss. It is an amazing item, and I¡¯m sure the astute among you could see that it is an item of great value.¡± Sword techniques manuals were slightly more valuable than their spear variants due to the difficulty of cultivating sword techniques. As such, the fact that a top-grade tier 9 sword technique had even existed meant that one should obtain it at all costs. It was a precious treasure that appeared only once in a blue moon, after all. Mastering such a technique would last one for a lifetime. Thus, the moment Lin Mo announced the starting bid at 12,000 mid-grade spiritual stones, all hell broke loose below the stage. In the end, under Lin Mo¡¯s watchful eye, an old woman bid 25,000 mid-grade spiritual stones for it. Everyone sighed. The price was too high. They had no means to compete against such a price. Lin Mo happily completed the transaction with the old woman. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the top-grade tier 9 sword technique, Gentle Water Arts ] [ You have successfully triggered an 8,000 times rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spirit-grade tier 3 sword technique, Golden Scale Arts ] The 8,000 times rebate from the system had given Lin Mo a spirit-grade tier 3 sword technique. ¡°That¡¯s great! Now all I need is a weapon¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. He had two tier 9 longswords in his inventory. Should fortune smile upon him, there was a good chance that he would obtain a spirit-grade longsword from the rebate system. Upon this thought, Lin Mo figured that he might as well try his luck by auctioning a longsword next. A bidding war was reignited once more, and the attendees were especially eager this time round, including the old woman who had obtained the sword technique earlier. In the end, the old lady once again made a bold bid to purchase the long sword with 12,000 mid-grade spiritual stones andtwo stalks of high-grade tier 9 spirit herbs. Unfortunately, the item that Lin Mo had received from the rebate system was rather lackluster as he had only managed to trigger a 500 times rebate. All he received from auctioning off the high-grade tier 9 sword was another high-grade tier 9 sword. ¡°Sigh, my luck has failed me this time¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. ¡°Alright everyone, I¡¯m sure that most of you have gotten tired of the constant tier 9 items. Let¡¯s shake things up a bit by auctioning a spirit-grade item next?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile as he took out a scarlet gourd. ¡°Scarlet Fire Gourd, a spirit-grade tier 1 weapon. The starting bid is at 30,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± Everyone was shocked by what they were seeing. This was a true treasure, one that could scarcely be found within the Ancient Flame Ruins. However, after getting over their initial excitement, a wave of anguish then washed over the crowd. Since Elder Mo had barely shown any interests in the tier-9 treasures, the crowd immediately understood that he was eyeing the spirit-grade items instead. In that case, they would rather not cause any trouble to themselves by bidding against Elder Mo. Recklessly bidding would only draw Elder Mo¡¯s ire. He was not an individual to make an enemy of. ¡°I¡¯m sure there¡¯s no need to explain what this is. In that case, let the bidding begin!¡± Unlike the competitive atmosphere that emanated from the crowd when tier 9 items were up for bids, there was only silence this time around. Elder Mo stood up and nodded in satisfaction, saying, ¡°Since it¡¯s a spirit-grade treasure, then I¡¯ll bid 50,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.¡± Raising the bid by 20,000 was already a generous move on Elder Mo¡¯s part. Lin Mo nodded his head. Elder Mo did not make things difficult for him. It seemed that he was trying not to antagonize anyone. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to Elder Mo for making a successful bid for this spirit-grade treasure.¡± After handing over the Scarlet Fire Gourd, Lin Mo avidly waited for the rebate system to kick in. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the spirit-grade tier 1 weapon, Scarlet Fire Gourd ] [ You have successfully triggered a 4,000 times rebate. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spirit-grade tier 3 Divine Flame Gourd. ] Although a 4,000 times rebate was really good, Lin Mo was not particularly keen on using gourd weapons. After some thought, he decided that he would hand it over to either Lin Die or Jiang Xiyue. The following auctions had gone off without a hitch. Lin Mo had sold off over a hundred tier 9 treasures, and among them, quite a number had resulted in spirit-grade treasures via the rebate system. Naturally, Lin Mo had offered the spirit-grade treasures off to Elder Mo. With a sale of over a hundred tier 9 treasures, Lin Mo had made a massive profit, and it left him grinning from ear to ear. All else aside, he had already accumulated over a hundred even more precious treasures in his stockpile, and there were thirty-odd spirit-grade ones as well. If he were to add on the items he had received from Bai Luo, Yan Rong, and Lin Die¡¯s peddling efforts, there was probably enough tier 8 and tier 9 items to form a small hill. ¡°The auction¡¯s almost coming to an end, and there¡¯s only one more item to go. However, I¡¯m sure that this item won¡¯t disappoint¡­¡± Indeed, Lin Mo was now on his final item, and it had arrived at the nick of time from the folks of the Purple Moon Holy Land. Noticing how generous Elder Mo was, Elder Qin Yu decided to auction off her spirit-grade treasure. ¡°This is a spirit-grade tier one longsword¡­¡± Chapter 251 - Absolute Snow Sword A spirit-grade tier 1 longsword. Compared to the previous few treasures, this was undoubtedly the cream of the crop. However, it also made Lin Mo rather nervous. If this spirit-grade longsword were to trigger a 10,000 fold rebate, then he would have made a huge profit. Not only would he make a killing in spiritual stones, he would also acquire an amazing weapon. ¡°This spirit rank longsword is the final item to be auctioned. The starting price is 35,000 middle grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo announced. Everyone was extremely shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s auction had featured numerous spirit-grade items. Unfortunately, no one but Elder Mo had managed to lay claim to these spirit-grade treasures. Nevertheless, they were already plenty thankful to Elder Mo for not claiming the tier 9 treasures. In view of generosity, the masses were no longer tempted to compete with Elder Mo for the spirit-grade items. ¡°Hehe, the sword is the most expensive out of all spirit-grade weapons. In that case, this old man will bid 60,000 mid-grade spiritual stones for this weapon, giving this auction a perfect ending.¡± Elder Mo stood up and said with a smile. Strictly speaking, his mission to obtain a single spirit-grade weapon had been completed. Any other spirit-grade treasures that he obtained along the way were merely just bonuses. ¡°Hehe, little friend Lin Mo¡¯s ability to collect such prizes has amazed this old man.¡± Elder Mo brought out the spiritual stones and completed the transaction with Lin Mo. With that, the grand auction had come to a close. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the spirit-grade tier 1 Bloodbath Demonic Sword ] [ 9,000 fold rebate triggered ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the spirit-grade tier 5 Absolute Snow Sword ] Many within the crowd carried wide grins on their faces. The only exceptions to this behavior were those who lacked the funds to afford any of Lin Mo¡¯s items. Since everyone had obtained benefits, no one voiced any complaints. Even Elder Mo, who maintained a serious demeanor most of the time, had a wide grin on his face as well. Unbeknownst to most, however, Lin Mo¡¯s gains were the greatest, and it had far exceeded his expectations. Most importantly, he had obtained a spirit-grade sword technique, the Golden Scale Sword Technique which would undoubtedly increase his combat prowess by leaps and bounds. Once the main auction had ended, the transactions that were occurring at the outer square had also quickly come to an end. Just as Lin Mo was about to leave¡­ ¡°Young friend, please wait a moment.¡± Elder Mo spoke from afar, with his followers tailing behind him. However, Qianqian was missing from the group. ¡°Elder Mo, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Mo greeted him with a smile. Beside Elder Mo, several of his followers scrutinized Lin Mo closely, their eyes filled with curiosity. ¡°Hehe, nothing much. I just wanted to ask if young friend Lin Mo has any plans for the future?¡± Elder Mo asked very tactfully. However, Lin Mo was surprised that Elder Mo was trying to win him over. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Elder Mo. I don¡¯t have any grand ambitions. All I want to be is an ordinary businessman.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and refused the invitation. Elder Mo did not insist. He patted Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder and laughed, ¡°You are talented and intelligent. If you ever wish to join us in the imperial capital, feel free to look for me.¡± With that, Elder Mo left with his men, leaving Lin Mo with a favorable impression of him. ¡°I¡¯ll have to ask Qianqian which prince this old man works for.¡± Lin Mo pondered for a moment before meeting up with Bai Luo and the rest of his group. Then, he bade farewell to the people from the Purple Moon Holy Land and the Su family, and handed 70% of the auction¡¯s proceeds to Su Hanhai. Since news of the auction had likely already spread, Lin Mo was certain that once the exploration of the ruins was over, Jiang Xiyue would send personnel over to take the spiritual stones from the Su family. 1 Lin Mo and his group left for a seemingly endless mountain range. ¡°I¡¯ve collected a lot of treasures this time. What about you? What are you hiding?¡± Bai Luo cheerfully asked. ¡°I guarantee you that you¡¯ll be satisfied. There are more than a dozen spirit-grade treasures in my possession. What do you think? Are you satisfied?¡± Lin Mo smiled and responded. ¡°In addition, I¡¯ve also received a tier 1 spirit-grade spear technique, the Blazing Divine Spear. Take it as your reward.¡± Lin Mo took out a scroll and handed it to Bai Luo. It was undoubtedly a high rank technique. Bai Luo flipped through it and nodded her head repeatedly as she did so. She was extremely satisfied with the martial art manual. ¡°There are some runes inscribed in the Blazing Divine Spear¡¯s manual. I can probably extract them and incorporate them into my comprehension of the Dao principles.¡± The more she looked at it, the more satisfied Bai Luo was. She also brought out some treasures she had swiped for herself while peddling. ¡°Oh right, what about your weapon? I have a tier 2 spirit-grade longsword here. It¡¯s called the Black Flame Longsword.¡± Bai Luo pulled out a longsword after tucking away her scroll. She had used a special method to detect the item from within an ancient stone. Since the seller was unaware of the contents within the stone, she had managed to exchange it for merely a tier 7 spirit pill. This was an insanely great bargain. ¡°Your luck is too good¡­¡±Lin Mo was shocked. ¡°Though I have an even better one, so, I won¡¯t be needing that.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and took out the tier 5 spirit-grade Absolute Snow Sword without hesitation. The quality of the sword was perfect for Lin Mo. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it to Yan Rong.¡± Bai Luo curled her lips and threw the Black Flame Longsword to Yan Rong. The latter was extremely excited upon receiving it. ¡°Don¡¯t you like Lil¡¯ Die? Why didn¡¯t you give it to her instead?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile, somewhat surprised by Bai Luo¡¯s choice. ¡°Big Brother, Lil¡¯ Die has already received her gift.¡± Lin Die chuckled and rolled up her sleeves. On her arm,was a scarlet spear mark. With a clang, a nearly two-meter long scarlet spear appeared, emitting powerful ripples in the air as it did so. ¡°It¡¯s also a tier 5 spirit-grade¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had only managed to receive his spirit-grade weapon via the system¡¯s rebate function. As such, he was surprised that Lin Die was able to obtain such a powerful weapon all by herself. ¡°Actually, it was Sister Bai Luo who gave it to me. She said that I should learn spear techniques and not foolishly learn sword techniques, since they¡¯re very difficult.¡± Lin Die timidly stated. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s face instantly darkened. What was foolish about learning sword techniques? Out of the eighteen weapon types, the sword reigned supreme. This was also the reason why he chose to become a sword cultivator in the first place. However, in the end, it all boils down to one¡¯s persistence to their craft. There was no clear cut superiority to the weapons, as everything depended solely on the cultivator¡¯s strength, and their comprehension of the Dao principles. ¡°However, I still have to thank you.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The long spear was so compatible with Lin Die that it felt as if it was meant for her. He refused to believe that Bai Luo had obtained it from the brief peddling stint they conducted. The only possibility was that it had come from Bai Luo¡¯s own stash. Lin Mo was very touched that she was willing to give it to Lin Die. After locating a hidden valley, the group set up a formation to safeguard themselves. Lin Mo was feeling magnanimous. He brought out all of his resources this time. ¡°This much?¡± Bai Luo was extremely shocked. Yan Rong was dumbfounded as he looked at everything Lin Mo had laid out. Meanwhile, Lin Die was salivating. She wanted to use the ancient recipe they had previously obtained to create the ultimate cultivation medicine. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being discovered for keeping this many items to yourself?¡± Bai Luo voiced her concerns. After all, Lin Mo should have auctioned off all his goods. Should Elder Mo catch wind of this, he would be in deep trouble. Chapter 252 - Secluded Cultivation Lin Mo had hoarded plenty of resources to himself. Just the number of spirit-grade treasures alone had already numbered over a dozen. There was simply too much. ¡°Some of these are supplied by the eighth prince, whereas some are from the Su family.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile as he casually made up an excuse. However, his excuse was not too far-fetched. After all, with the amount of spirit-grade treasures in his possession, most would immediately assume that it had come from the royal family¡¯s coffers. ¡°Hehe, since you¡¯re being so generous, I guess I won¡¯t hold back as well.¡± Bai Luo smiled and brought out a few ancient recipes. The recipes contained several explanations about the foundations of cultivation. Lin Mo was shocked. These recipes had explained the topic in great detail. It was clear that whoever had written them was a man of vast knowledge. ¡°The foundation is very important, especially for those of us who are aiming to enter the Nirvana Realm. If we don¡¯t lay a good foundation now, things will undoubtedly go awry in the future.¡± Bai Luo warned. Seeing how generous Lin Mo was with his resources, Bai Luo returned the favor by showing the recipes to the group. Although the Dragon Transformation Realm might seem like a realm that was focused on honing the spine, in reality, that was not the case. In truth, it was a realm that required one to hone their entire body. Every breakthrough that one makes in the Dragon Transformation Realm would be accompanied by an improvement in one¡¯s physical body, If one could ensure that each level was a perfect breakthrough, one¡¯s combat prowess would soar exponentially between tiers. Moreover, one¡¯s process in breaking through to the Nirvana Realm would also become much smoother if that was the case. Basing their decision on the ancient recipes, Lin Mo and his group selected the necessary resources from their stockpile of supplies. At the same time, Bai Luo had also taken out another 50 high-grade spiritual stones within their spirit array. Doing so would replenish any lost spiritual energy within the air. ¡°It¡¯s best for you to reconstruct your previous cultivation realms, especially the ones that you¡¯vesoared past within a single cultivation session.¡± Bai Luo warned. Lin Mo nodded in agreement. Even though Lin Mo had achieved perfect breakthroughs for all his cultivation realms¡­ Due to the speed in which he blew past some of them, there was bound to have some flaws in those realms. With the resources currently at his disposal, Lin Mo felt like it was the perfect opportunity to reconstruct and revisit some of his previous cultivation realms. ¡°My talent is limited, there¡¯s no need to splurge this much resources on me¡­¡± Yan Rong was speechless. He had never imagined that he would see this many resources laid out before him. As far as he can tell from his memories, even the Qinghuai Holy Land did not possess such a vast amount of resources. ¡°No need to shy away. You need to seize this opportunity.¡± Lin Mo said. There were more than enough resources to go around. ¡°Brother Yan Rong, no need to hold yourself back for our sake. There¡¯s definitely enough resources here.¡± Lin Die added, prompting Yan Rong to pick his selection of resources. Lin Mo brought out a jade cauldron, poured in the divine spring water he had obtained earlier, and began selecting spirit herbs. After making his choice, he then placed the spirit herbs into the cauldron one at a time. As he did so, the spiritual energy that the cauldron emitted grew denser and denser. ¡°These ancient recipes of yours are simply amazing. I¡¯d never imagine that we could refine these items without it¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed. He was certain that the recipes were worth a huge sum of money. ¡°Why of course, they¡¯re secrets that are passed down within my family,¡± Bai Luo responded smugly. As if she had recalled something, Bai Luo locked gazes at Lin Mo and uttered each word with great emphasis, ¡°I¡¯m warning you. These recipes are only for your personal use. Should I ever learn that you¡¯ve attempted to sell them, you¡¯ll have hell to pay.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Lin Mo agreed gave up on the idea of making a profit from her recipes. Since this was a token of her goodwill, he would respect her wishes. Soon, four cauldrons were placed in four corners of the valley. The four of them continuously picked out spirit herbs for the sake of their cultivation. In the end, Bai Luo had even gritted her teeth and offered up two unicorn bones for Lin Die and Lin Mo to use. The two of them were the most talented individuals Bai Luo had met in the Yanhuang Empire. Since they were friends, she would like the reconstruction of their cultivation realms to go as smoothly as possible. After thanking Bai Luo for her gift, Lin Mo then headed to his medicinal cauldron. At this moment, he had already added a large amount of spirit herbs and spirit insects into it. The liquid within it was beginning to thicken, and the spiritual energy it emitted was so intense that it started to glow. After throwing the unicorn bones into it, Lin Mo closed the medicinal cauldron and used the special hand seals listed in the ancient recipe to start refining pills. Even though the official term for it was alchemy, to Lin Mo, it felt no different than randomly tossing resources with high spiritual energy to make a broth. The spirit pills that were refined through his means would only achieve one effect, which was to contain as much dense and pure heaven and earth spiritual energy as possible. Half an hour later, intense fluctuations were observed from the cauldron. Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly conjured a seal and unleashed a flame. At the same time, he lowered his blood onto the cauldron. At this moment, the cauldron shook violently, and it gave off the faint impression that it was about to explode. Fortunately, the ancient recipes that Lin Mo had received were very comprehensive. It had explained the peculiarities to take note off, and thus, Lin Mo was not worried. Based on the recipe¡¯s instructions, he was to leave the cauldron alone for a day. By then, it would no longer shake. As such, he left the cauldron alone for a day, and by the time he returned, he could smell an extremely rich fragrance coming out of the cauldron. Upon lifting the cauldron¡¯s lid off, a brilliant nine-colored light was emitted, surprising Lin Mo. Inspecting the cauldron¡¯s contents had sown a nine-colored spirit pill the size of a grape lying quietly in the medicinal cauldron. The multicolored light and fragrance that filled the sky were caused by the spirit pill. ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Lin Mo smiled and grabbed the spirit pill. Without any hesitation, he swallowed it. In the blink of an eye, multicolored light spread out from Lin Mo¡¯s dantian and his spiritual energy surged. At this moment, even his breathing was infused with multicolored light. It could be seen just how dense the spiritual energy within his body had become. Seeing this, Lin Mo silently activated his Soul Devouring Art to collapse his cultivation realms. He would start from zero once more, relying on his enhanced physique from the God Devouring Body and the spiritual energy from the spirit pill to build up his realms again. His aura gradually grew stronger. Before long, he had already reached tier 2 again. However, with each advancement in his cultivation realm, he made sure to pause his cultivation progress, so that he could fully take in the realm¡¯s effects. Moreover, each breakthrough was also a form of endurance training for him. Each advancement was accompanied by an extreme pain assaulted him, and it had caused Lin Mo to almost withdraw from his cultivation state each time. Fortunately, he was able to hold on every time. Through sheer willpower and grit, he was able to endure through the violent spiritual energies washing through his meridians. His dantian and meridians underwent a metamorphosis time and time again. At the same time, every time he broke through to the next level, his soul power would also be greatly enhanced. It was only through this experience that Lin Mo realized just how much he had missed out in his previous cultivation attempts. Now that he was cultivating from zero, his soul power was becoming stronger and stronger, and it had far surpassed whatever he had in the past. Lin Mo closed his eyes. He did not know how much time had passed, but he was still cultivating his own realm at an unhurried pace. Despite his unhurried pace, Lin Mo progressed rapidly. Before long, Lin Mo had already reached tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and not long after, he had officially stepped into tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The spirit concentration realm had used up ten days of Lin Mo¡¯s time, and it had greatly benefited his soul. On the other hand, the half a month he had spent cultivating the Dragon Transformation Realm had resulted in a transformation of his body, making it incomparably sparkling, divine even. However, this also made him sigh. The strength that he had acquired from his God Devouring Body had already allowed him to surpass most people in the first place. Although his body had become stronger as a result of his cultivation, he had also reached his current limit. There was no way for him to improve anymore. Chapter 253 - Another Path ¡°I¡¯m too greedy. There¡¯s always a limit to how much the Dragon Transformation Realm can improve one¡¯s physical body. Had I actually improved by leaps and bounds just from cultivating from scratch, I¡¯m sure everyone would have done the same as well.¡± Lin Mo smiled and accepted the results. Were it actually possible to recultivate constantly, then those who possessed the most resources would likely reign over the world. However, recultivating was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Recultivating was a phenomena akin to the metamorphosis of caterpillars. It was a one-time-thing that had the opportunity to change one¡¯s lives forever. ¡°Wait!¡± A light bulb flickered above Lin Mo¡¯s head. Was this not the same for Lin Die? How could she transform nine times then? Lin die could undergo metamorphosis for a total of nine times. Although each attempt was a life and death battle, the fact still remained that she had nine opportunities to break out of her cocoon to become a butterfly. This was equivalent to breaking through into the Nirvana Realm nine times. As expected of a prized beast that was raised by the heavens, her upper limit of growth was terrifying. However, the price she had to pay was also very heavy. Just like the life or death ordeal that Lin Mo was facing, no one could help her whenever she entered such a state¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts wandered astray, and many more things crossed his mind. Lin Die was able to break through the cocoon to become a butterfly because of her innate divine ability. However, who was to say that he could not do so as well? When he first started cultivating, his battle prowess was stronger than most people of his realm. However, it was also due to his strong cultivation base that had resulted in the God Devouring Body crippling his cultivation base in the first place. Due to what he had once lost, he was able to begin stronger anew. By the time he had started cultivating again, his battle prowess had skyrocketed beyond his peers. Lin Mo was extremely excited, and a bright light flashed in his eyes. This was also another path for him to become an ultimate expert. Unfortunately, this was a hard path to tread. Without the innate ability of the Colorful Fire Demons, it was extremely difficult, deadly even to reconstruct one¡¯s cultivation base. Back when the God Devouring Body had consumed his cultivation base and vitality, it had put his life in danger. He had also fallen into the pits of despair because of it. All the resources and effort that had been poured into him over the years had gone down the drain, and at the end of it all, he needed to rely on a heavenly recovery pill to recover. Cutting off his cultivation and starting from zero was way too much of a risk for him to do it repeatedly. Even though it would allow him to improve himself in all aspects. ¡°Maybe not now, but I guess it¡¯s worth venturing into in the future. This is a new path for cultivation, after all¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself, looking forward to the future. 1 On that thought, Lin Mo continued to refine the spiritual energy in his body, raised his cultivation realm, and comprehended the Dao principles. He thoroughly studied the Golden Scale Sword Technique and memorized all of its contents. He had even integrated some of the desirable runes for the technique into his Soul Devouring Art, making his sword technique even more powerful than it should have been. Once the integration was completed, Lin Mo could only sense that the energy of the God Devouring Body within him was moving strangely. The energy of the spirit pill he refined was being absorbed by the black hole in his dantian. As it happened, numerous runes began to appear in his Dantian. They were the runes for stellar Sword Qi, the Dao principles for fire, as well as the new Gold Scale sword technique. Despite being his dantian, there was not a trace of spiritual energy to be found. This was the most mysterious part of the God Devouring Body. After studying the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo was certain that the God Devouring Body had stored the spiritual energy it absorbed somewhere within himself. The energy stored would eventually be returned to Lin Mo, and it would be integrated with him. However, doing so required Lin Mo to reach even higher cultivation realms first. ¡°Rumble!¡± Changes appeared within Lin Mo¡¯s body once again. Be it the Golden Scale Technique, the Daoist principles of flames, or even the Stellar Sword Qi, they were all obliterated and returned to the form of primordial runes. The runes circulated within Lin Mo¡¯s body, emitting a mysterious light as they did so. In the end, Lin Mo¡¯s body began to glow, and wisps of Dao sounds spread out into the distance. ¡°I¡¯ve also made great progress with the Soul Devouring Art. Sooner or later, this cultivation technique that belongs solely to me will make its mark across the world¡­¡± Lin Mo evolved over and over again, continuously comprehending the God Devouring Body and deducing even more runes. Although Lin Mo was currently unable to use these runes, they were engraved within his dantian. As a result of the new runes, the domain that could be deployed by his God Devouring Body had covered an even wider area, and its defensive capabilities had also received a massive boost. Another half a month passed. Yan Rong, Lin Die, and Bai Luo came out of their secluded cultivation one after another, and each of their cultivation realms had improved greatly. Bai Luo had made great progress. Due to the great importance she had placed in developing cultivation foundations, every step of her cultivation journey had been extremely careful. As a result of this, she was able to easily reach tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, achieving the Perfect Realm for it. If it were not for the fact that she proceeded with each of her cultivation realms cautiously, she would likely have made it to tier 21 instead. Yan Rong¡¯s cultivation was also now at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.His aura had become more solid and noticeable because of it. However, when compared to Bai Luo¡¯s, all he felt was a sense of defeat. The aura that Bai Luo emanated was simply terrifying. Lin Die had also made great progress. She had broken through her cocoon and become a butterfly for the second time. It was a perfect breakthrough. However, due to the amount of spiritual energy she consumed to break out of the cocoon, she had only managed to reach the perfect tier 11 Dragon Transformation Realm. Among the four of them, she had consumed the most spiritual energy. No one had expected her cultivation realm to only increase by a single tier. However, judging from the aura she emanated, no ordinary tier 18 cultivator would be a match for her. Even though the trio had already exited seclusion, Lin Mo was still cultivating fervently. Moreover, they could feel the spiritual energy within the valley being drawn towards him. Left with no other choice, the trio could only hang around and wait out Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation. During this time, they hunted wild animals for food and quenched their thirst with Hundred Flowers Wine. Life was pleasant. Finally, under Lin Mo¡¯s whale-like consumption, the spiritual energy within the valley had been completely depleted. Lin Mo also ended his cultivation around the same time. He had learned much of the God Devouring Body, and as such, he did not particularly mind his progress with his cultivation realm. ¡°You¡¯ve finally come out of seclusion¡­¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes. Bai Luo was sitting cross-legged on a rock in front of him and rolling her eyes at him. She was protecting Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, I¡¯m sorry. I took too long to comprehend the dao principles.¡± Lin Mo scratched his head. He had truly gained a lot from this cultivation session. Soon after, Yan Rong and Lin Die arrived. Yan Rong was holding a small grayish-black bird in his hand. Upon spotting Lin Mo, the bird immediately flew over and stood on its shoulder. This was the spirit bird that Qianqian used to send messages. Thought it did not possess much combat power, it made up for it with its speed and ability to cross time and space. Due to Lin Mo¡¯s long period of absence, many within the ruins had already forgotten all about him. On the other hand, Yuan Cang, Ling Feng, and the others gradually rose up and obtained many resources. Their strength had improved quite a bit. The spirit bird informed Lin Mo of the news. During the period of his secluded cultivation, many treasures appeared. During this period, Elder Mo held an auction of his own and received many treasures. However, fights were also breaking out more often, and the battles were becoming bloodier. There was even news of a tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse dying, and it had caused quite a stir. Despite all this, no one had managed to locate the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s heirloom. ¡°Where are we going next?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°This place holds many secrets, plus the heirloom has yet to appear. SInce we¡¯ve already obtained enough treasures, why don¡¯t we take a break?¡± Lin Mo suggested. Although he really wanted to head out and eliminate Yuan Cang¡­ Yuan Cang had always been surrounded by various disciples and elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. As such, it was difficult to score a one-on-one fight against him. Moreover, cultivation required a combination of both work and rest. Now that his strength had increased greatly, he needed to take things slowly for a while. ¡°Now that you mention it, I¡¯m a little hungry¡­¡± Bai Luo licked her lips. ¡°Then let¡¯s wander around the area and hunt some game. I bet we can make a delicious meal with some spirit herbs.¡± Lin Mo suggested cheerfully and they all set out to look for ingredients¡­ Chapter 254 - Assassination During the process of searching for ingredients, they had also picked up on more news, but none of it had anything to do with them. After all, they had been in seclusion for over a month, and any news about them had long been washed away by the recent accolades of other cultivators. The hotpot that Lin Mo¡¯s group was eating was very fragrant. They drank cups of Hundred Flowers Wine and chatted heartily. The spiritual energy of the Hundred Flowers Wine would be stored in their bodies, waiting to be utilized the next time they attempted a breakthrough. At the same time, Lin Mo occasionally meditated on his Soul Devouring Art, giving him a deeper understanding of the technique. ¡°Bai Luo, you possess such great talent and are even born as a noble. Why didn¡¯t you cultivate back at home?¡± Lin Mo asked. With the talent that Bai Luo possessed and the cultivation resources provided by her family, there was a high chance that Bai Luo would have already reached the Nirvana Realm had she stayed. In spite of this, she left her home. Although Lin Mo had also provided his share of resources to her, it was definitely inferior to what she could have obtained from her family. With the influence Bai Luo¡¯s family had, finding top-grade spiritual stones would definitely pose no problem to them. ¡°How can I become a true expert if I don¡¯t go through actual hardship?¡± Bai Luo was of a different mind from Lin Mo. She did not think that having a good background was all that great. After all, a true powerhouse would not rely on their background influence alone. ¡°Even though my family has prepared a lot of training for me, the severity of the training poses a serious risk to my life. It¡¯s highly dangerous.¡± ¡°Furthermore, there¡¯s also a limit to what I can achieve if I were to just follow down a path that was laid down by others.¡± Bai Luo expressed that unless at she had been targeted by a powerhouse that she had no chance of defeating, she would never return home. Although she was going to leave the Yanhuang Empire, there were still other regions such as the Great Yan Divine Empire.In her case, she had intended to train and cultivate in the eastern continent until she had become a full-fledged powerhouse. After their chat, the two of them decided to engage in a mock battle with one another. Once their sparring session was done, they sat down and chatted about their comprehension of the Dao principles with one another. Although one of them was learning the sword and the other was learning the spear, there were undoubtedly some similarities in their cultivation techniques. After reflecting on each others¡¯ learnings, the two made great progress on their respective Dao comprehensions. ¡°So you can think of it like this, huh? You are indeed a genius¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed. Bai Luo¡¯s understanding of the Dao principles was very profound. Moreover, she had placed great emphasis on the foundations. Naturally, Lin Mo was no slouch either. The two acquired the runes they had learned from each other and integrated them into their own bodies. Soon after, Lin Mo felt that some changes had occurred to his Soul Devouring Art. His longsword became thinner and longer, and there were faint traces of spear techniques circulating within it. ¡°We¡¯ve rested for five days. I think it¡¯s time we re-entered society,¡± Lin Mo spoke up. Now that they were well-rested, it was time to resume their search for cultivation resources. ¡°I don¡¯t have any objections.¡± Bai Luo did not care. The only thing on her mind at this moment was to convince Lin Die to follow her. However, Lin Die had been following Lin Mo the entire time. After making several attempts to lure Lin Die over, Lin Mo chased Bai Luo away with a dark expression. ¡°I¡¯m fine with that. I¡¯m interested to test out my strength anyway.¡± Yan Rong said. He had also made great progress. ¡°We¡¯ll look for Yuan Cang first. We might be able to find an opportunity to kill him,¡± Lin Mo suggested. He wanted to make use of Bai Luo while she was still with the party, as she would undoubtedly be of great help to him in battle. ¡­ During the past month, while Yuan Cang was out and about searching for resources, he had not once given up on killing Lin Mo. This was because Lin Mo had killed his younger brother. Moreover, he had proven to be an obstacle time and time again. In fact, Yuan Cang had already vowed that the next time they fought, he would kill Lin Mo for good. However, Lin Mo had been in secluded cultivation all the while, and even after completing his cultivation, he had remained in his valley and hunted the animals around him for nourishment. Lin Mo¡¯s choice of actions had made it difficult for Yuan Cang to locate him. Despite having several tier 23 and tier 24 powerhouses at his side, they had yet to achieve anything noteworthy. As such, due to Yuan Cang¡¯s showy antics, it was not him who located Lin Mo, but the reverse instead. ¡°Arrogant and tyrannical, he doesn¡¯t know how to restrain himself. Although he has some talent, his temperament isn¡¯t good,¡± Bai Luo commented disdainfully. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that Ling Feng?¡± Suddenly, Yan Rong pointed forward and exclaimed. Ling Feng, who was ranked 15th on the Yanhuang Board of Fame, was actually a rogue cultivator secretly nurtured by the royal family. Lin Mo recalled the information about Ling Feng in his mind. Then, upon recalling that Ling Feng had once set his sights on Lin Die, and his killing intent instantly surged. ¡°It¡¯s not just him, there are also people from the Secret Ghost Sect.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s expression was grim. Lin Mo nodded as well. Using his spiritual energy, Lin Mo had detected several powerhouses on the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s side. There were two individuals from the Secret Ghost Sect. They wore black robes and had their faces covered, making them unrecognizable. From their figures, it could be seen that they were a man and a woman. Their auras were quite strong and there was even a wisp of black Qi lingering around them. They did not expect that the members of the Secret Ghost Sect, as well as Ling Feng, would collude with the people of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. Fortunately, Lin Mo and his party had discovered them first. Otherwise, they would have suffered great losses in a battle against the alliance. ¡°We mustn¡¯t let them off,¡± Bai Luo spat viciously. Back when she had first arrived at the Yanhuang Divine Empire, an elder of the Secret Ghost Sect discovered that she carried many great treasures with her. However, she was rather weak back then, being only at around tier 10 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Due to this, she made for easy pickings, and she was constantly hunted down for almost half a year. It was only after she had encountered Lin Mo that she managed to shake them off. Now that she had come face-to-face with them again, she wanted nothing more than to annihilate their members in order to quench her desire for revenger. ¡°The Secret Ghost Sect has also gone after me before. Regardless of who it was that issued the order, let¡¯s pay them back in kind, shall we?¡± Lin Mo muttered. He knew that the Secret Ghost Sect were a group that worked in the shadows. As such, they would eventually split up from the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s group to do their own things. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while. Once they separate, we¡¯ll kill them,¡± Lin Mo said. Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s spiritual energies were astonishing. The members of the Secret Ghost Sect had not even sensed that they were being watched. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little risky? The soul imprints of the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s disciples are all recorded in their headquarters,¡± Yan Rong pointed out. It was for this reason that the Secret Ghost Sect was able to accurately pinpoint who killed their disciples. ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? The two of us have already long been blacklisted by them,¡± Bai Luo said indifferently. It was not their first time killing Secret Ghost Sect members, after all. Moreover, Lin Mo had even openly auctioned off the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s talismans. Openly provoking them was but a common occurrence for him. Half an hour later, the two members of the Secret Ghost Sect bid farewell to the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s group. Ling Feng had also left with them. The three of them were headed towards the depths of the forest. ¡°Ling Feng is also with them. Let¡¯s kill them all together.¡± Lin Mo muttered. He did not instantly follow them, but had waited for a while before tailing them, The three of them were extremely vigilant, especially the two members of the Secret Ghost Sect. They were assassins and were extremely sensitive to their surroundings. Furthermore, the Secret Ghost Sect members were by no means fools. They had already sensed that someone was following them. Alas, it was already too late. Using Traceless Wind, Bai Luo and Lin Mo appeared right in front of the two assassins. One of them dealt with the other, unleashing their full strength and suppressing them. On the other side, Lin Die held a scarlet long spear in her hand and cooperated with Yan Rong to deal with Ling Feng. One of the two wielded a spirit-grade tier 2 Black Flame Longsword, whereas the other wielded a spirit-grade tier 5 Scarlet Flame Spear. Their moves were swift and agile. The duo¡¯s joint attack had easily suppressed Ling Feng. Moreover, Yan Rong¡¯s was at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, which was one tier higher than Ling Feng¡¯s. With the help of Lin Die, they were more than a match for Ling Feng. Even if Ling Feng had learned a spirit-grade cultivation technique and cultivated the Great Dao laws, it would still be difficult for him to win against them. However, the fact that he was able to hold up against Yan Rong and Lin Die barehanded showed that he was not weak. If there was anything to blame, it would be his lack of a usable weapon. ¡°Boom!¡± The God Devouring Body¡¯s domain spread out, enveloping the man in front of him. It devoured the surrounding spiritual energy and at the same time, weakened his opponent¡¯s attacks. However, this assassin was not to be trifled with. His figure vanished into thin air. Space rippled as he vanished. Lin Mo smiled at the sight, as he had already used his soul power to lock onto his opponent. He then brought out his Absolute Snow Sword and slashed at a seemingly empty spot in front of him. ¡°Snap!¡± Chapter 255 - Setting up an Ambush ¡°Snap.¡± A soft noise rang out in the air as the assassin¡¯s tier 9 dagger had its top half sliced off. Despite intercepting Lin Mo¡¯s blade with his dagger, however, Lin Mo¡¯s Sword Qi still barreled forward at the same intensity, cutting into the assassin¡¯s chest. ¡°How could it be¡­¡± The assassin stared at Lin Mo, his eyes filled with shock. ¡°Weren¡¯t you guys plotting to kill me? Well, here I am at your doorstep. Come at me then,¡± Lin Mo taunted. He expanded his God Devouring Body¡¯s domain even further, restricting the assassin¡¯s movements. In addition, Lin Mo had also let his spiritual energy surge, so that he could end the battle as quickly as possible. During his first fight with Yuan Cang, Lin Mo¡¯s domain was already strong enough to block Yuan Cang¡¯s spirit-grade weapon¡¯s attacks. And now, Lin Mo was even more powerful. He had already surrounded the assassin within his domain, and there was practically no chance for the assassin to escape his hold. ¡°Whoosh.¡± Absolute Snow Longsword was extremely sharp. In a single slash, Lin Mo had already killed the assassin. The assassin could not accept the outcome, but it was too late. All he could do was lament his inadequacy as he collapsed into a pool of his blood. At the same time, Bai Luo had also taken care of the other assassin. With their opponents handled, Bai Luo and Lin Mo then went ahead to support Lin Die and Yan Rong. Ling Feng was a genius who had made it into the Yanhuang Board of Fame. On the other hand, Lin DIe¡¯s cultivation realm was low, and Yan Rong¡¯s talents were lackluster. Even though they were both working together, it was all they could do to barely rein in Ling Feng and prevent him from escaping. Lin Mo and Bai Luo flew over. Under their combined assault, it had only taken them three moves to take down Ling Feng. A face filled with hatred could be seen as he collapsed onto the ground. ¡°I¡¯m sensing an ill omen¡­¡± Lin Die voiced her thoughts aloud. An inexplicable sense of fear had crept onto her, and she wanted nothing more than to leave the area as soon as possible. ¡°It¡¯s time to leave. The Primordial Sun Holy Land has probably caught wind of us.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s expression turned grim. She trusted Lin die¡¯s intuition with all her heart. She brought out a talisman and poured her spiritual energy into it. A resplendent white light instantly spread out, enveloping everyone in the party. In the next moment, a ripple in space formed, and a powerful aura spread out. A huge golden palm appeared in the sky and slammed down brutally. ¡°Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm!¡± Lin Mo was shocked upon spotting the assailant. He did not expect defeating those three individuals would draw the attention of such a powerful entity. Unfortunately for the old man, however, he was too late. Bai Luo¡¯s talisman had already taken effect, and before the palm could even reach them, Lin Mo and his party had already disappeared. Around 15 minutes later, Lin Mo and his party on top of a huge mountain peak. Upon leaving their pocket dimension, the space talisman in Bai Luo¡¯s hand also lit up and disappeared. ¡°That¡¯s the fourth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land, who is also Yuan Hong¡¯s master. He is at tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Yan Rong came back to his senses and informed everyone. As the eldest disciple of the Qinghuai Holy Land, this was common knowledge to him. ¡°We almost died there. I had to spend a space talisman just to keep our lives.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face was full of heartache. Most of the talismans that were related to space manipulation were usually tier 9 talismans. However, the fact that it had allowed them to traverse through space for a full fifteen minutes had meant that it was of a higher rank, likely a spirit-grade talisman. Nevertheless, it was a necessary expense. Had they been caught by the elder, they would undoubtedly have perished. ¡°Damn the Primordial Sun Holy Land. We must make them pay for this.¡± Bai Luo said with a heartache. The Spirit Grade Talisman was her get-out-of-jail card for whatever insurmountable troubles she faced while traveling the continent. Now that it was gone, her family would definitely not feel at ease having her travel around alone. ¡°Let¡¯s move. Quickly. It would only take 5 minutes or so for the elder from the Primordial Sun Holy Land to catch up to us,¡± Bai Luo reminded. A powerhouse at the 30th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm was not to be taken lightly.They could travel great distances in a single step. All they had managed to achieve was to buy themselves some time. Should the elder catch up to them again, Bai Luo would be forced to use another trump card. ¡°5 minutes huh? Let¡¯s bring out the spirit formation that we used while we were cultivating in the valley. We¡¯re going to set up a trap.¡± Lin Mo said. Being forced to use a spirit-grade talisman had displeased him greatly. What made him even more displeased was that the elder was still going after them. Since that was the case, he would make sure to leave some surprises for her. ¡°It won¡¯t be easy to do damage to a tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm expert. Unless¡­ Did you upgrade your Origin Spirit Puppet again?¡± Bai Luo asked curiously. ¡°No, we¡¯ll be using this. This is one of my trump cards, a tier 9 attack talisman.¡± Lin Mo smiled and brought out a talisman. It emitted a cold light as a dangerous aura permeated into the air. ¡°Where did you get it from?¡± Bai Luo was shocked. The item was incredible. Level 9 attack talismans were practically forbidden items in the Yanhuang Empire. The only ones who would use them were those who were unafraid of the royal family, such as the Secret Ghost Sect. Even so, they dared not sell it for fear of incurring the royal family¡¯s wrath. As such, the fact that Lin Mo had owned one was simply unbelievable. ¡°I¡¯ll Explain later. We¡¯ll focus on setting up the formation for now,¡± Lin Mo urged. Bai Luo took out the formation disk and dug out a cave abode beneath the mountain peak. Once she was done, she then used the formation disk to seal the cave¡¯s entrance. ¡°Alright, what next?¡± After setting up, Bai Luo asked. ¡°I¡¯ll have the Origin Spirit Puppet take the talisman and the Absolute Snow Sword, and hide it within the formation. I¡¯ll have it ambush the elder once he breaks the formation¡¯s seal.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s plan was well thought out. The most a tier 9 offensive talisman could do damage to were those who were in tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. So long as the elder did not take any defensive measures, he was bound to be heavily injured by the talisman. Should that happen, Lin Mo will order his puppet to go in for the kill. ¡°What a devious plan. I like it.¡± Bai Luo chuckled and left the area together with Lin Mo. Once the Origin Spirit Puppet had been properly hidden, the two of them then enveloped the party with their auras and perfectly concealed their presence. Moreover, as an extra measure, Lin Mo had even activated his God Devouring Body¡¯s domain. Doing so would make even Nirvana Realm experts hard-pressed to locate them. ¡°He¡¯s here. He¡¯s so fast.¡± After hiding for less than a minute, a powerful aura soon enveloped the area. Several mountains collapsed due to the sheer pressure of the aura. Levitating in mid-air was an elder who had eyes blazing like torches as he scanned around the area. ¡°The fluctuation of space stops here. Their aura has disappeared. I can¡¯t detect them.¡± The elder muttered to herself, but he soon found himself puzzled. He could feel a disturbance in the spiritual energy of the area. It felt unlike any other place he had been to before. He was filled with doubts. He searched around the area and unleashed his powerful soul energy, checking to see if there were any anomalies. ¡°Eh? This seems to be the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation.¡± The elder¡¯s heart stirred at the unusual phenomenon. He arrived at the mountain peak Lin Mo and the party were at earlier and looked down. Lin Mo smiled at the sight. He was looking forward to it. The moment the elder activated the trap, he would give him the last surprise he¡¯ll ever experience. ¡°Hurry up and go. It¡¯s at the bottom of the mountain. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Bai Luo muttered in a low voice, looking forward to what was to come. Suddenly, the old man lifted the mountain, shattering it and revealing the hidden formation below. ¡°Haha, I found it.¡± The old man laughed pompously. He did not suspect a single thing. The journey he had taken to reach the area must have taken a huge toll on him. This reason he had put in this much effort to chase after them was so that he could capture Lin Mo and the others in one fell swoop. Soon after, he started to approach the formation. With a powerful thrust of his palm, he smashed the formation¡¯s seal. ¡°Rumble.¡± The earth shook. The power contained within the palm strike was extremely powerful, and it had cracked the very earth it made contact with. In the next moment, a crack appeared on the formation and a figure rushed out from within. The talisman in the figure¡¯s palm flickered, and it emitted an intense radiance. Chapter 256 - The Heirloom Appears Blinding light burst forth, and terrifying waves of spiritual energy were unleashed. The man was caught in the burst of energy in point-blank range. The old man shouted and exerted every ounce of his strength to resist it. However, no matter how much he struggled, the immense amount of energy emitted from the talisman was starting to overwhelm him. The power of a tier 9 offensive talisman was extremely terrifying. There were all sorts of powerful runes inscribed into them, making them extremely deadly weapons. Before the talisman¡¯s first wave of spiritual energy had receded, another powerful storm of spiritual energy erupted, dealing a second wave of damage onto the elder. ¡°B*stards! Damned brats, how dare you set up an ambush!¡± The old man was so angry that his entire body was trembling with rage. He had managed to withstand the full extent of the talisman¡¯s attack with great difficulty, but it had left him with grievous wounds. His entire body was covered in blood. He had been careless, and just as he was about to explode in rage, he spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Pfft.¡± The old man mentally cursed at Lin Mo and his party. Little did he know, however, that the talisman¡¯s explosion was not the full extent of the ambush. The Origin Spirit Puppet leaped out and sliced off the old man¡¯s head. The energy of the Absolute Snow Sword had dispersed even the old man¡¯s soul, turning his body into ashes and making him disappear without a trace. Lin Mo and his party celebrated in their hiding spot. They exchanged glances at one another and rejoiced. ¡°Alright, things are going smooth so far. I¡¯ll go and collect our spoils for now. Once that¡¯s done, we¡¯ll clean up the rest of our enemies.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he approached the spot where the elder had died. It was somewhat regretful that the elder¡¯s spatial ring had been destroyed from the talisman¡¯s explosion. As a result of its destruction, the treasures that it had contained were also gone for good. Lin Mo felt that it was a pity that he could not preserve them. Alas, that just goes to show just how powerful the talisman was. Heck, even the Origin Soul Puppet had sustained damage from the blasts. Despite being shielded by a spirit formation for the most part, it had still come quite close to being destroyed. ¡°It¡¯s all good. The Origin Spirit Puppet has powerful recovery abilities. Do you still have any spiritual stones on you?¡± Bai Luo shot Lin Mo a sidelong glance. ¡°Ahem¡­ About that, could you lend me some¡­¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly. He no longer had any spiritual stones on him. He had basically used everything that he had to cultivate, and he was now completely broke. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes, threw out a high-grade spiritual stone, and placed it into the Origin Soul Puppet¡¯s dantian. Although Bai Luo had gained tremendous benefits from teaming up with Lin Mo, as shown by her rapid growth, sometimes, she felt that Lin Mo was leeching off her. She could not remember just how much spiritual stones she had spent on him¡­ ¡°Hehe, many thanks.¡± Lin Mo scratched his head and thanked Bai Luo. With her aid, the Origin Spirit Puppet would eventually recover from the damage inflicted upon it. After picking up the elder¡¯s head, Lin Mo led his party away from the area. As they traversed through the forest, they experienced a few close calls where they had almost exposed themselves to the other elders from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. ¡°Damn it, so they were using these guys to track us,¡± Bai Luo stated. After the few close calls they experienced, the party decided to beef up their security, and they soon realized that it was the demonic beasts within the forest that had exposed their positions. The folks from the Primordial Sun Holy Land had captured and tamed demonic beasts, spirit birds, and even spirit insects. These were the creatures that they had unleashed to track Lin Mo and his party down. Jiang Xiyue had requested Lin Mo to eliminate Yuan Cang since he was under the seventh prince¡¯s payroll. It was likely that the seventh prince had also given the same order to Yuan Cang to kill Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo was now in a passive position. There were many elders within the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s ranks, and they were all very strong. With those elders around, Lin Mo had found it rather difficult to kill Yuan Cang. However, if he could not manage to kill Yuan Cang within the ruins, by the time Yuan Cang returned home, Lin Mo would have lost his chance to complete Jiang Xiyue¡¯s request. ¡°No, I must think of a way.¡± Lin Mo was not going to give up. Although Jiang Xiyue would likely make no comments on his failure, Qing Wen, Qing Wu, and Qianqian, who were already hostile towards him to begin with, would definitely look down on him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, there will be more opportunities to come. Don¡¯t be hasty,¡± Bai Luo advised. The Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s inheritance had yet to appear, and thus, anything was still in the realm of possibility. They could not make a move now. Although the fourth elder was dead, there was still one other elder leading the team. They were the fifth elder of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. Although he was ranked fifth, he was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With such an existence as an obstacle, Lin Mo and his party had to act cautiously. ¡°Roar!¡± Suddenly, a four-horned lizard crawled out from behind them. Upon spotting Lin Mo, it immediately roared loudly. ¡°Damn you.¡± Lin Mo was furious and cut down the lizard in a single strike. However, that did nothing to change the fact that his position was compromised. The lizard¡¯s roar hadalerted the people from the Primordial Sun Holy Land, and Lin Mo could feel a terrifying aura coming off from a distance. Three individuals were going after them, and each of them was at tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Upon discovering Lin Mo, they immediately went after him without a moment¡¯s hesitation. ¡°Run!¡± Bai Luo took the opportunity to pick up Lin Die and sprinted forward. She activated Traceless Wind and went off into the distance. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not waste any time as well. After grabbing onto Yan Rong¡¯s shoulder, he then activated Traceless Wind and shot forward as well. ¡°Boom!¡± The forest was in an uproar. Several experts were bombarding the area in search of Lin Mo. Even Yuan Cang had arrived. He had pursued Lin Mo together with an elder that emanated a dense and terrifying aura. At this moment, a nine-colored light shot up from the center of the forest. It was extremely dense. Everyone could see that this aura was heaven-piercing and earth-shattering. It flickered within the Dragon Transformation Pool¡¯s alternate dimension. ¡°The heirloom has appeared. This is great!¡± Everyone cried out in surprise. The heirloom that they had been searching long and hard for had finally appeared. Lin Mo and the others also quickly rushed over to the source of the light. Behind them were the pursuers from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. A huge pit had appeared in the middle of the forest. The ground sank down, revealing its contents. At the same time, a shocking aura emanated from it. Multicolored light spread out, restricting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. ¡°The Blood Qi here is dense. Is this the blood pool or a Nirvana pool?¡± Bai Luo was puzzled. Both were extremely rare resources. The former could provide a large amount of life energy, possibly bringing one back from the dead, and cleansing their souls of impurities. The latter, however, was even more heaven-defying. It would allow one to ascend to the Nirvana Realm. Not everyone could reach the Nirvana Realm. There were natural limits to one¡¯s cultivation abilities, and as such, those who could reach the Nirvana Realm were exceedingly rare. If one could locate a Nirvana pool, they would be set for the rest of their lives. Lin Mo and the others rushed over and met up with the Su family. Su Hanhai¡¯s aura erupted, and he pushed back the fifth elder of the Yuan Yang Holy Land with a palm strike. He was only one step away from reaching the Nirvana Realm. If he could enter the Nirvana pool or the blood pool, he would be able to break through. The imperial family¡¯s Elder Mo had also arrived. His clothes were stained with mud, as if he had just experienced a great battle. The people following behind him were also injured and looked slightly miserable. Qianqian was also there. Blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, but there was a smile on her face. It seemed that her gains were not bad. Many others also arrived. The Mu family and Sima family from Ancient Flame City were also present. The people from the Purple Moon Holy Land appeared not long after. Elder Qin Yu seemed extremely happy. She was the same as Su Hanhai. She was very eager to break through to the Nirvana Realm. In addition, there were other experts who also came. They were the geniuses who had made a name for themselves in the Yanhuang Board of Fame, and they were also accompanied by their backers. Aside from them, there were also many rogue cultivators who had assembled their own group of mercenaries. Now that the critical moment was right in front of them, everyone was full of energy. Chapter 257 - Another Battle With Yuan Cang Lin Mo¡¯s appearance had attracted the attention of many. Upon his appearance, a yellow-robed old man immediately rushed over and glared down at him. ¡°Hmph, how bold of you to appear here. I didn¡¯t actually think that you¡¯d come.¡± Two individuals tailed behind the old man, their auras intense and intimidating. These three people spread out and surrounded Lin Mo and his party. Each of them possessed the strength of a tier 27 Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Mo looked at the three of them, not understanding what was going on. ¡°Humph, Ghost Bug Master is a distinguished guest of our clan. What do you have to say about killing him?¡± The three of them took a step forward and attacked Lin Mo, unleashing a dense sword rain at him. They used their full strength right from the get go in order to kill Lin Mo immediately. Upon confirming their intents, Lin Mo summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet to intercept their attacks. The ground below then trembled and it sunk even deeper. The Blood Qi circulating in the air became even denser. The final heirloom was about to appear. If Lin Mo were to hold back now, he would most likely miss his shot at obtaining the heirloom. Thus, Bai Luo and Lin Mo attacked together. Bai Luo locked onto her target and lunged forward with her bright silver spear. The Absolute Snow Sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand shone brightly. Lin Mo unleashed his full strength. The yellow-robed elder was surrounded by Sword Qi the moment he approached. In an instant, flames filled the sky, and behind those flames were a densely packed wave of Sword Qis. The yellow-robed old man retreated, not daring to receive Lin Mo¡¯s attack head-on. This was because Lin Mo¡¯s flames had grown stronger since he last fought Yuan Cang. Moreover, his strength had also risen by a whole new level. The old man¡¯s expression was unsightly. There were many burns on his robes, and his skin was charred black. Although this made him angry, more than anything else, he was also shocked. This was because he knew that Lin Mo¡¯s talent was extraordinary, and he was respected among the younger generation. Furthermore, he held a spirit-grade weapon in his hands, and his battle prowess was extremely strong. The regular folks around Lin Mo retreated, worried that they would be caught in Lin Mo¡¯s crosshairs. ¡°Hmph! Who do you think you are!? You still think that you¡¯ll live even after provoking this many people?¡± The disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land were also making their move. The elders took advantage of the chaos to surround Lin Mo¡¯s group. With the appearance of the heirloom just moments away, the royal family and the Su family would be too preoccupied to deal with the Primordial Sun Holy Land. This was as good an opportunity as any to bring down Lin Mo for good. ¡°Hehe, who do I think I am? I¡¯ve already killed your fourth elder, lest you forget.¡± Lin Mo did not hold back and revealed his feats. ¡°Hmph, I will avenge the fourth elder.¡± Yuan Cang walked over with a spear in hand as he glared at Lin Mo. The fight that was about to ensue between two geniuses had drawn the attention of many, including some experts as well. The two of them were undoubtedly the top prodigies within the ruins. Their last battle had remained unsettled due to theinterference of outside forces. As such, this battle was somewhat a continuation of their previous one. ¡°Is that so? But before you avenge him, you should first collect his corpse.¡± Lin Mo stated with an expressionless face. He raised his hand and threw out a blurry, round object. Yuan Cang was caught off guard. He did not understand Lin Mo¡¯s words, and thus, he caught the object with his spiritual energy. After wiping off the blood stains on it, the people of the Primordial Sun Holy Land were left at a loss for words. ¡°Ahh!¡± ¡°How could this be?¡± ¡°B*stard.¡± Including Yuan Cang, the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had flames of fury spewing out of their eyes. What Lin Mo had thrown out was actually the head of the fourth elder. He was a top-tier powerhouse at tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, he possessed a vast amount of life energy. Had he obtained enough resources, he would likely have ascended to the Nirvana Realm in the future. Unfortunately, he had suddenly disappeared after going after Lin Mo. Initially, the Primordial Sun Holy Land had assumed that the fourth elder had activated a ruin trap somewhere or he was caught in a long drawn-out battle against a powerful demonic beast. Contrary to their expectations, however, he had been killed by Lin Mo. ¡°Lin Mo, I swear by my name of Yuan Cang that I will definitely crush your bones and scatter your ashes today.¡± Yuan Cang roared furiously and pressed forward. ¡°Hehe, what a coincidence. I also wish to kill you by the end of today as well.¡± Lin Mo nodded. This was a prime opportunity to take down Yuan Cang for good. ¡°Bzzzzzz.¡± A continuous buzzing sound was emanating from within the sunken ground. As the ground sank deeper and deeper, the heirloom, a piece of land was gradually floating up. Despite already spotting the land, no one made any reckless moves, and everyone was eyeing it with great anticipation. ¡°Lin Mo, prepare to die.¡± Despite the appearance of the heirloom land, Yuan Cang¡¯s attention was fully placed on Lin Mo. He gripped the long spear in his hand and charged forward. ¡°Fssh.¡± A ball of fire formed. Yuan Cang¡¯s strength had improved once again, and he was now at tier 19 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was still 1 tier ahead of Lin Mo compared to his previous battle. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo launched his fist forward, firing a gout of flame of his own. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with shock. Lin Mo had improved tremendously as well. Although his realm was still a step below Yuan Cang, the flame he had unleashed was at least on par with Yuan Cang¡¯s. Booming sounds resounded and the earth trembled. The battle had shocked everyone present in the area. Countless people looked over, wanting to see what the battle between the two geniuses would look like. At the same time, there were also people who were looking forward to see Lin Mo¡¯s talents on full display. After all, despite hailing from a family in a small city, he was actually going toe-to-toe against the Holy Son of a Holy Land. ¡°Clang!¡± Sword Qi and spear shadows buzzed as they continuously clashed. This time, Lin Mo¡¯s weapon was on par if not better than Yuan Cang¡¯s. Moreover, his spiritual energy was abundant, and his God Devouring Body was circulating in full swing, unleashing a powerful domain that had suppressed all flow of spiritual energy within it. Everyone felt a piercing pain in their eardrums. The collision of the weapons was obscenely loud, and those who were sensitive to such loud noises had already left the area. Lin Mo laughed heartily. His long hair was disheveled, and there was a ring of black holes around his body, protecting him. Yuan Cang¡¯s entire body was bathed in flames, and he was full of vigor. He brandished his long spear, looking like an unrivalled king. In just a mere instant, the two had exchanged more than ten blows with one another. The collision of their weapons caused sparks to fly in all directions, and powerful runes were projected in the air. Flames erupted, shaking the heavens and earth. The people of the Yuan Yang Holy Land were shocked, feeling incredulous. What kind of technique was Lin Mo using? Were they the Daoist flame principles? The Daoist flame principles were a set of primordial principles that Yuan Cang had been born with the innate ability to comprehend. They were capable of increasing one¡¯s combat prowess, and it was the crux of Yuan Cang¡¯s power, earning him a standing within the Yanhuang Board of Flame. Furthermore, as Yuan Cang¡¯s strength increased, the cultivation technique that he was born with also became more and more profound, evolving together with him. In spite of this, Lin Mo seemed to be able to use those flames effortlessly. What kind of talent did Lin Mo possessed? Naturally, the disciples still believed that Yuan Cang would win. This was because the Holy Lord of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had claimed that Yuan Cang would eventually reach the Nirvana Realm in the future, and would maybe even surpass the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, from the disciples¡¯ observations, every time Yuan Cang made a breakthrough, his power would surge immensely, and the Daoist flames within him would integrate the principles of Dao smoothly into his body. Such an ability was a gift from the heavens, and it had enabled him to reach the peak of all his cultivation realms effortlessly. ¡°Truly formidable. Lin Mo¡¯s realm is still one tier lower, and yet, he has already gained the upper hand.¡± Some passersby muttered, and their words had angered many disciples from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. An elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land opened his eyes. His killing intent surged as he looked at Lin Mo. He was ready to finish Lin Mo off at any time. He could sense that there was more to Lin Mo that meets the eye. Yuan Cang would likely lose the battle. Moreover, this was also an opportunity. As long as he could kill Lin Mo, then all will be well. Even if the eighth prince were to go after them, all they needed to do was to seek the seventh prince¡¯s help. So long as Yuan Cang remained in top form, the seventh prince would not turn them away. The surrounding crowd was shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s name would be famous throughout the world after this battle. On the other hand, Yuan Cang was already well-renowned prior to this. After all, he had already ranked within the Yanhuang Board of Fame. Chapter 258 - A Battle Between Two Spirit In terms of raw combat power, Yuan Cang had rivaled most individuals on the list. Most importantly, however, was that Yuan Cang had obtained plenty of resources while he was in the ancient ruins, and he even had the backing of a Holy Land. As a result of both factors, his growth had progressed exponentially. In spite of this, after a long period of inactivity, Lin Mo had appeared seemingly out of nowhere and had taken Yuan Cang head-on. Even though his cultivation was lagging behind, the fact that Lin Mo had taken the upper hand was simply astonishing. Had Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation realm been on par with Yuan Cang¡¯s, the onlookers shuddered to think just how much of a landslide victory the battle would have been. The battle between the two continued. After a series of clashes, Yuan Cang was sent flying back by Lin Mo¡¯s sword. A intense Sword Qi surged and left a shallow incision on Yuan Cang¡¯s spear. It was at this moment that Yuan Cang tasted the disadvantage that came with having an inferior weapon. He now understood what Lin Mo¡¯s experience back then had felt like. Nevertheless, he was not put off by the disadvantage. While keeping an eye on Lin Mo, he formed a seal with one hand. He had kept a trump card up his sleeves. After all, he did not want to use his spirit-grade technique for any common rabble, unless the situation necessitated it. Although Lin Mo was backed by the eighth prince, it was common knowledge that the eighth prince ranked the lowest among all princes. Yuan Cang strongly doubted that the eighth prince would provide a rogue cultivator a spirit-grade technique just because he had devoted himself to her. Yuan Cang leaped into the air. His long spear weaved like a dragon as flames filled the sky. After exchanging blows with Lin Mo, Yuan Cang intuitively understood that unless he pulled off drastic measures, he would likely stand no chance against Lin Mo. Not only was Lin Mo¡¯s combat prowess out of his league, his foundation was also solid. If he did not use his trump card, he might very well lose this battle. It was due to this that he unleashed his spirit-grade martial arts. His long spear transformed, turning into a blazing dragon that descended from the sky and suppressed all manner of living beings. In just an instant, fire runes blossomed and attached themselves to the fire dragon, heading towards Lin Mo to suppress him. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes swirled, giving off a deep sense of profoundness. The firepower behind this move had been amplified. Back in their previous battle, it was this very same move that had destroyed his favorite weapon, Plain White Snow. Despite this, Lin Mo showed no fear against the attack. Rather, his eyes were set ablaze with fighting intent. ¡°Golden Scale Sword Technique!¡± A low roar came from Lin Mo¡¯s throat. The flames that cloaked him receded slightly, and a faint golden light began to circulate within the palm of his hand. Absolute Snow Sword flashed with a golden light. In just three seconds, its radiance had become blindingly intense. The golden light behind Lin Mo¡¯s back flickered, and the black hole within his dantian spread out, voraciously swallowing the surrounding spiritual energy. The golden light shot into the sky and slashed downwards. At first glance, the slow speed of the attack had given many the wrong impression that it was but an ordinary attack. However, the massive golden dragon that appeared just a moment later had turned the notion on its head. The huge dragon circled around Lin Mo, and the intensity of the golden light reached an unprecedented peak. This was no ordinary sword technique. It was Lin Mo¡¯s strongest attack that was unleashed with the Four Seasons Sword Technique and the Soul Devouring Art as its core. This was the strongest attack that Lin Mo was currently able to unleash. The resulting explosion of energy from the collision of both techniques swept through the area. Had the powerhouses from the onlookers not intervened, most onlookers would have perished after being caught by the explosion. Even so, while their lives were retained, most had still be injured by the eruption of energy. The shockwaves that rippled out had sent many of the weaker individuals hurtling over a thousand meters. ¡°Huh?¡± Yuan Cang was shocked. The last time he used this move, Lin Mo was in a sorry state. Even his weapon had been destroyed. Furthermore, Yuan Cang¡¯s technique was a tier 1 spirit-grade technique. It was a grade of technique that was impossible for a rogue cultivator such as Lin Mo to obtain, especially in a place such as the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Did he obtain it from the ruins, or did he obtain it from an auction¡­¡± Yuan Cang was at a loss for words. He recalled the auction that Lin Mo had held a while ago. He reasoned that Lin Mo had hosted it for the sake of obtaining a new and better longsword. However, Yuan Cang knew not of just how many treasures Lin Mo had acquired from said auction. Furthermore, everyone had benefited from that auction, even though they knew that Lin Mo was the one who had initiated it and had obtained the most. Nevertheless, since the event had the tacit approval of Elder Mo, no one could voice any objections to it. While Yuan Cang was still in a daze, a gentle breeze blew past him, and Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared behind him like a ghost. A pair of flaming wings grew out from Lin Mo¡¯s back, and there were flaming runes curled around him. After casting Traceless wind, Lin Mo¡¯s speed increased even more. Yuan Cang had just used a spirit rank martial art, and the spiritual energy in his body had been greatly depleted. This was a moment of weakness for him. Lin Mo seized the opportunity the moment he saw it. With his God Devouring Body, Lin Mo did not share the same concerns as Yuan Cang did regarding a lack of spiritual energy. Flames curled around his right leg and instantly erupted as it swept towards Yuan Cang¡¯s face. ¡°How can this be?¡± Yuan Cang was shocked. It was the same question as before, but this time, his surprise had stemmed from Lin Mo¡¯s seemingly limitless spiritual energy. ¡°Boom!¡± Helpless, he had no choice but to raise his hand to block the attack. The aftermath from the clash of their spirit-grade techniques were extensive, and it had disabled the use of both their spirit-grade weapons. However, after going through recultivation, Lin Mo¡¯s physical body had been enhanced to his very limits. His right leg was suffused with flames. At this moment, it was comparable to a divine weapon as it ruthlessly slammed into Yuan Cang¡¯s arm. ¡°Bang!¡± The power contained within this kick was extremely tremendous. Yuan Cang felt his arm go numb. Even though he managed to block the attack, he was still sent flying. ¡°Go to Hell!¡± Yuan Cang¡¯s killing intent erupted as he recalled his long spear. It was still covered in raging flames as he furiously charged at Lin Mo. He firmly believed that since his cultivation level was higher than Lin Mo¡¯s, he would definitely be able to suppress him. He was certain that he had the upper hand in this battle. Although Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual energy was like a bottomless pit, as long as he did not fight a drawn-out battle, he would be able to win. ¡°Boom!¡± At the same time, the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land made their move. A tier 27 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse lunged forward,attacking Lin Mo. Not only that, the yellow-robed elder who had previously targeted Lin Mo also made his move at the same time, launching a sneak attack at him. The battlefield suddenly changed from a one-on-one fight to a one-versus-many battle, and many of Lin Mo¡¯s new enemies were ambushers. ¡°Hmph.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly and summoned the Origin Spirit Puppet. The puppet wielded several weapons in its hands, and among them were longbows and sharp blades. One of them was even a spirit grade weapon. Lin Mo did not hesitate and used his spiritual energy to activate those weapons. He activated the symbols within them and in the next moment, a brilliant light erupted. The Origin Spirit Puppet stopped Yuan Cang who was trying to escape. Lin Mo immediately followed-up by activating his Traceless Wind and fleeing back. ¡°Kaboom!¡± In the next moment, the weapons exploded, and the energy within them were unleashed into the area. Moreover, the Origin Spirit Puppet did not retreat at all, and it had left Yuan Cang at the epicenter of the explosion. ¡°AHHHH!!¡± He immediately cried out in pain as he was heavily injured by the explosion of the weapons. Being at the 25th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the yellow-robed old man assumed that he was powerful enough to withstand any attack Lin Mo could throw at him. He attacked Lin Mo with the intent of restraining him. However, he did not expect Lin Mo to pull off such a move. The self-destruction of the weapons generated a powerful explosion that injured even him! Lin Mo then rushed towards him and cut him down, making sure to grab his spatial bag before he did so. ¡°Now!¡± Lin Mo shouted. Bai Luo, who was watching from behind received his signal and attacked Yuan Cang together with Lin Mo. Compared to Lin Mo, Bai Luo¡¯s current combat strength was much stronger. After all, her cultivation realm was much higher than his. Bai Luo immediately displayed her martial arts which were of spirit-grade. A projection of a human figure appeared behind Bai Luo. In the next moment, a spear lunged out of the projection¡¯s hands, piercing into the air. The elder from the Primordial Sun Holy Land had just pulled the heavily-wounded Yuan Cang aside when the spear suddenly hurtled towards him. ¡°Spurt!¡± The spear pierced through his heart, leaving a bloody hole in his chest¡­ Chapter 259 - Manifestation of the Heirloom Site ¡°Prepare to die!¡± Lin Mo shouted loudly as he activated his Absolute Snow Sword. Blazing flames erupted from his sword as he slammed it down towards Yuan Cang. ¡°Clang!¡± Although Yuan Cang was heavily injured, he still had the strength to fight. He barely managed to block the attack with his long spear. However, he was already at the end of his rope. Flames filled the sky. They were supposed to be Yuan Cang¡¯s signature move. However, those flames belonged not to him, but Lin Mo instead. It enveloped Yuan Cang in an instant, causing him to feel unbearable pain. At the same time, Lin Mo lifted his leg and stomped viciously on Yuan Cang¡¯s chest, causing him to crash from mid-air. A muffled groan could be heard as his bloodied body smashed into the ground. Naturally, this display of weakness did little to change Lin Mo¡¯s intent. He showed no mercy towards Yuan Cang. The other elders and disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land rushed forward to help, but they were all held back by Bai Luo. In addition, there was also the Origin Spirit Puppet slaughtering the Primordial Sun Holy Land disciples left and right. Yuan Cang was still alive. Although he was heavily injured, he still gritted his teeth and stood up. This was enough proof of Yuan Cang¡¯s strength and his sheer talent. However, being stepped on by Lin Mo was a great humiliation. Nevertheless, he was well aware of the severity of the situation. Unless he found a way to escape Lin Mo clutches, he would die right then and there. At this moment, the surrounding crowd gasped. They were watching the situation unfold with their mouths agape. Everything happened in a split second. By the time the crowd realized what was happening, Yuan Cang had already been heavily injured. The crowd turned pale with fright, feeling extremely incredulous. An elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had launched a sneak attack at Lin Mo, and so too did another powerhouse. However, Lin Mo detonating his weapons had turned the tide of the battle, killing both powerhouses who ambushed him at the same time. Even Yuan Cang was heavily injured and on the verge of death, unable to hold on any longer. ¡°Looks like Lin Mo has obtained plenty of resources in his exploration of the Ancient Flame Ruins. To think that he was willing to detonate spirit-grade weapons.¡± A man behind Elder Mo commented. Although they had obtained quite a lot of resources because of Lin Mo, upon realizing that Lin Mo might have stockpiled more items than they had, the man suddenly felt envious. ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense. He had no choice but to detonate a spirit-grade treasure in that situation. He hails from a small city, and from a small faction. If he was not the type of person who could endure the loss of treasures, I doubt he would¡¯ve even made it this far.¡± Qianqian reprimanded from the side. ¡°There¡¯s no need to quarrel. We¡¯ve already made an agreement that everybody would benefit from the auction.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it only right for him to get the most benefits from the auction that he started? There¡¯s no need to be envious.¡± Elder Mo was quite open-minded and cut the argument short. On the other hand, the onlookers¡¯ hearts were thumping with trepidation after witnessing the new turn of events. This was because an old man had appeared in front of Yuan Cang. His aura was very strong and it was so thick that it would make one suffocate. Lin Mo sighed. The newcomer was the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. He was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and he could easily crush Lin Mo with a lift of a single finger¡­ At the same time, Su Hanhai had also appeared beside Lin Mo, and he was glaring down the folks from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. Simply put, things looked bad. Should Su Hanhai engage in battle with the fifth elder, a life and death battle would definitely ensue. Moreover, from the looks of the fifth elder¡¯s face, it was clear that he wanted to flay Lin Mo alive¡­ ¡°What a pity, just a little more and I could¡¯ve¡­¡± Lin Mo helplessly put away his Absolute Snow Sword. Bai Luo had also appeared beside Lin Mo. The two of them stood behind Su Hanhai and remained silent. The battle between the youths had ended. It was now time for the older generation to make their move. ¡°Hmph. How could a Holy Land stoop so low as to carry out a sneak attack? What despicable behavior.¡± Yan Rong rushed over with Lin Die. He pointed at the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land and scolded them without any courtesy. ¡°That¡¯s right. Have you no shame? How dare you sneak attack Big Brother like that?¡± Lin Die was also very angry. The disciples and elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had indignant looks on their faces the moment they heard those words. Their reputation had been dragged through the mud due to this battle. It was disgraceful. An elder of a Holy Land had launched a sneak attack at a mere junior while he was in the midst of combat. It would be one thing if the attack was successful, but not only did an elder launch a sneak attack, the sneak attack had also failed and resulted in the elder¡¯s demise. ¡°Humph, he is but a brat who knows not of his limits. He deserves to be killed.¡± Someone sneered in the distance. The folks from the Peacock Spirit Clan had also arrived. The leader was Kong Xiu, the patriarch of the Peacock Spirit Clan. ¡°That¡¯s right, he needs to die.¡± At the same time, the people from the Mu clan also came. Mu Ming, the Mu clan¡¯s patriarch spoke with a wide grin. The three factions had temporarily joined forces. The disciples from the Su clan walked up and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Lin Mo and the others. However, they were not acting as boldly as their opponents since they had only one tier 31 powerhouse at their side. On the other hand, their opponents had three. ¡°Everyone, the heirloom is about to appear. It¡¯s a little inappropriate to start a major battle right now.¡± At this moment, an old woman walked up from behind Lin Mo and the others. Her face was full of wrinkles, but her aura was very strong. ¡°An elder from the Purple Moon Holy Land?¡± Mu Ming was shocked. His eyes could not believe what they were seeing. Since when did Lin Mo become acquainted with such a powerful figure. ¡°Strange, why would the Purple Moon Holy Land interfere?¡± Elder Mo was watching the situation unfold with the members of the royal family. He was also slightly shocked. The person who spoke up was an elder of the Purple Moon Holy Land, Qin Yu. Although she did not represent the entirety of the Purple Moon Holy Land, she was still a high ranking member of their organization. As an elder, one who had the potential to advance to the Nirvana Realm at that, she had a lot of say in the matters regarding the Purple Moon Holy Land. Elder Mo already had a sinking suspicion when Lin Mo joined hands with the Su family and the Purple Moon Holy Land to hold the auction. He wondered whether the Purple Moon Holy Land was under the eighth prince¡¯s influence as well¡­ ¡°Elder?¡± Lin Mo was also shocked. Her appearance had come at a critical point in time. Their side lacked top-notch combat strength. Although Qin Yu joining their side would not turn the tides of battle, it would at least serve to reduce the pressure they experienced. ¡°Elder Qin Yu, is the Purple Moon Holy Land planning to become enemies with the Peacock Spirit clan and the Primordial Sun Holy Land?¡± Kong Xiu snapped angrily at her. Hearing this, the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land also stepped forward and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Kong Xiu. Seeing this, Mu Ming, the Mu family¡¯s patriarch, also had no choice but to step forward. Three powerhouses at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm had just stepped forward. The power they wielded could easily decimate an entire mountain range. Seeing this, the onlookers started to grow worried that the ensuing battle would destroy the heirloom site. ¡°Of course not. I¡¯m only here to mediate the fight. With the heirloom site bound to appear at any moment, I worry that your battle would bring ruin to the area and destroy the heirloom in the process.¡± ¡°A small fight between brats would hardly do harm to the heirloom, but if it¡¯s you guys, I believe it¡¯s best that you restrain yourselves.¡± Qin Yu said lightly. Seeing this scene, the corners of everyone¡¯s mouths twitched. A small fight? People have died in their battle, and the Holy Son of the Primordial Sun Holy Land, Yuan Cang, had been severely injured. Moreover, judging from how the situation was progressing, had the fifth elder not stepped up to save Yuan Cang, he would likely have been killed by Lin Mo¡­ It was clear that Qin Yu was not trying to mediate. Her goal was to get Lin Mo and the Su clan to safety. ¡°Bzzzz.¡± At this moment, a humming sound came from the huge pit in the middle of the area. ¡°Huh, the heirloom land is floating up. It looks magical! What on earth is it?¡± Someone was pleasantly surprised. At this moment, a huge palace floated up from the center of the area. Now that the heirloom site had shown itself, no one paid any attention to Lin Mo and the Primordial Sun Holy Land¡¯s squabble any more. One after another, the onlookers headed towards the palace in the center of the area. ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± Bai Luo was eager to head there as well. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go then.¡± Lin Mo smiled and headed towards the palace¡­ Chapter 260 - Flowing Cloud Sword Technique A group of people rushed into the palace, wanting to obtain the heirloom as soon as possible. The palace had given off a strange and enigmatic vibe. It did not look particularly big, and at first glance, it was certainly not large enough to accommodate all the visitors. However, the moment people stepped in, they would feel as if they had walked into a veil of light, as everyone¡¯s figures would start to blur. Everyone was shocked by what was happening around them. They could not wrap their minds around what was transpiring. Lin Mo and his group were surprised as well. The closer they got to the palace, the larger it felt. By the time they had reached the palace, it looked as massive as a palace made for the gods. ¡°It¡¯s not that the palace has become bigger, it¡¯s that we have become smaller.¡± Bai Luo muttered to herself. She looked behind her and realized that the mountains and trees were abnormally large. It was as if they had entered a miniature world, and the outside world was like a vast and endless universe. ¡°This is one of the properties of the Dao principles of space. The owner of this ruin is much stronger than we thought.¡± Someone cried out in surprise upon discovering the abnormality. There were many treasures planted in the palace, and among them, there were many spirit-grade spirit herbs. In addition, there were also spirit pills, weapons, and so on. ¡°That¡¯s Flowing Jade Light Grass, a spirit-grade tier 1 spirit herb!¡± Yan Rong spotted an item in the distance and pointed it out. Multicolored light radiated out from the spot that Yan Rong had mentioned. It was a small pond with many spirit herbs in its surroundings, and it was imbued with dense spiritual energy. ¡°The water in this pond is rather unique too.¡± Lin Mo praised, walking forward to observe the pond more closely. Very quickly, an intense battle erupted within the palace, as the appearance of the rare treasures had caused many to fight over them. The situation felt surreal to Lin Mo. After all, there were a myriad of treasures within the palace, too many for him to count. Spotting a tier 9 resource in the wild was already a rare enough occurrence, but within the palace, spirit-grade treasures stretched out to as far as the eye can see. Sounds of intense fighting constantly rang out within the palace. Many limbs and bloodied appendages could be seen scattered about. It was like a slaughterhouse. A huge battle was taking place, and Lin Mo¡¯s party had joined in as well. Nevertheless, Lin Mo and his group had skirted around the areas where the fighting was most intense. Instead, he and his group were collecting herbs found in the palace¡¯s perimeters. After all, even the spirit herbs that were scattered about were of spirit-grade. They would prove highly beneficial to him, especially after he upgraded them via the rebate system. However, that was not to say that he had avoided conflict completely. Many a times, they had come into contact with other groups, and as a result, clashes had taken place. Gradually, everyone¡¯s eyes had turned red from killing, and the palace¡¯s floor was littered with corpses. Several combatants had even resorted to self-destructing just to bring down their opponents. A loud hum could be heard as the Dao principles of space were audibly activated. The palace had been sealed, leaving everyone stuck within it in a state of shock. Not only that, the powerhouses present could feel a dampener being placed onto their power. They had found it difficult to unleash much of their massive reserves of spiritual energy. Much to everyone¡¯s dismay, there was a seal protecting the palace. ¡°The owner of this place might have set up the seal to prevent rampant destruction taking place.¡± Lin Mo was left in awe. Just how strong was the owner of the ruins? He had died eons ago, and yet, the effects of his seal were still going strong. With the restriction in mind, everyone within the palace began to act more carefully. Lin Mo and his party had also erred on the side of caution as they picked up herbs around the palace perimeter. Meanwhile, Yuan Cang and the rest of the Primordial Sun Holy Land followers were situated at the outermost perimeter of the palace, far removed from any combat. Several elders were guarding him. The strongest elder present was of tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, making him a powerful foe to be reckoned with. ¡°It¡¯s going to be hard to kill him.¡± Lin Mo frowned. Yuan Cang was well protected, and thus, reaching him would be a tall task. ¡°Hurry up! I¡¯m sure there are spirit-grade techniques here. We mustn¡¯t miss them!¡± A strange movement came from the other side, and people could be heard fighting over something. Upon turning to look at the source of the commotion, Lin Mo spotted a person holding onto a scripture book wreathed in a mystical aura. The words, Flowing Cloud Sword Technique were written in bold letters on the book¡¯s cover. This was a manual for a sword technique, but there was also a good chance that it taught cultivation techniques as well. Regardless, it was a highly precious resource. Someone was currently cradling it within his arms. Although it should have been his by right, many had gone after the man, wanting the book for themselves. ¡°Bam!¡± Lin Mo had joined the pursuit as well. He exchanged several palm strikes with the others, causing chaos to erupt in the spot. The eyes of all the experts were bloodshot. Countless runes floated in the air, giving a dangerous vibe to the area. ¡°Kong Lei?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He spotted a familiar person within the group of pursuers. It was Kong Lei of the Peacock Spirit clan. Kong Lei had also improved greatly since their last encounter. He was currently at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, much more powerful than when they had last met. However, he was caught in a precarious situation. He was surrounded by enemies, and he was constantly being attacked. Lin Mo¡¯s appearance had only made his situation from bad to worse. Using Absolute Snow Sword, Lin Mo slashed down and sliced off one of Kong Lei¡¯s arms. Although he had managed to snatch it back and use spirit herbs to reattach it, the arm had been rendered useless momentarily. There were more than thirty individuals going after the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, and each of them was a major powerhouse. Lin Mo was actually the weakest among them. However, no one dared to look down on him. After all, he was a genius that had the potential to shake up the world. Lin Mo did not waste his time with the other pursuers. He activated Traceless Wind, spouted flaming wings off his back, and shot ahead. Very quickly, Lin Mo caught up with the man at the front. The man made a split-second decision upon spotting that Lin Mo was closing up to him. He decisively tossed aside the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique¡¯s manual. ¡°Damn it.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The man had thought out his decision well. There was a member of the royal family in the direction where the manual had been tossed towards. The royal family member was also fighting against other cultivators. ¡°I, Liu Qing, was born in a military camp and am a soldier of the Yanhuang Divine Empire! You dare come at me? Do you have a death wish?¡± He made no attempt to mask his threat. Many influential individuals stopped dead in their tracks upon learning this fact. They dared not provoke Liu Qing. Nevertheless, there were still desperate individuals who ran at him. Unfortunately for them, they were no match for Liu Qing. With a shove of his hand, he pushed all of the remaining attackers back and picked up a spirit-grade herb from the ground. The next moment, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique manual plopped into Liu Qing¡¯s hands. He casually flipped through the book and was immediately overjoyed by what he had read. Upon spotting Lin Mo and the other pursuers of the item. He immediately declared, ¡°This manual now belongs to the royal family. Cease your operations and back off!¡± Despite his warning, many within the group still charged at him. Naturally, Lin Mo was also part of the group. Lin Mo was certain that it was a spirit-grade technique, and thus, he refused to let it go. Even if his opponent was not Liu Qing, but Elder Mo instead, Lin Mo would still not hesitate. ¡°Lin Mo, you dare offend the royal family?¡± Liu Qing forced the crowd back. However, upon spotting Lin Mo, he jumped in fright. Realizing that his first warning was ineffective against Lin Mo, he then ramped up his threat. ¡°This technique is not something that you can possess. If you really do snatch it away, it will bring trouble to the eighth prince. Aren¡¯t you not worried that it would cause trouble to her?¡± Liu Qing threatened. In the next moment, Lin Mo arrived in front of him. He did not make any killing moves. Instead, he threw a punch which clashed with Liu Qing¡¯s palm. The powerful impact forced Liu Qing to retreat, and as a result, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique¡¯s manual had slipped out of his hand. Lin Mo grabbed the manual and grinned at Liu Qing. ¡°Who do you think you are? How could a person of your status ever cause problems to the eighth prince?¡± Lin Mo remarked before promptly leaving the area. If Liu Qing had gone after him, Lin Mo would not mind teaching him a lesson. ¡°B*stard.¡± Liu Qing cursed angrily and wanted to make a move. However, once he saw Lin Mo¡¯s Absolute Snow Sword, Liu Qing instantly canceled the thought. The surrounding onlookers grinned at the sight of this. Liu Qing was parading around with his royal family status earlier to deter them, and yet, it was completely ineffective against Lin Mo. To the onlookers, it felt like Liu Qing had received his just desserts¡­ Chapter 261 - The Phoenix Blood Stone ¡°Hey, Lin Mo, come over and help!¡± Bai Luo¡¯s had called out to Lin Mo before he even had the chance to lay eyes on the manual he had just obtained. In the distance, Bai Luo was going against several elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. Bai Luo seemed to be on the defensive because she had to protect Yan Rong and Lin Die. ¡°What a troublesome bunch.¡± Lin Mo was furious. He summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet and ordered it to kill the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. ¡°Junior, how dare you!¡± The elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land were furious over Lin Mo¡¯s deed. However, as they had their hands tied going against Bai Luo who had gone all out, they could do nothing to help the disciples. With Lin Mo joining their ranks, the party¡¯s combat strength was bolstered immensely, and even Yan Rong and Lin Die could begin engaging the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. With the Origin Spirit Puppet protecting them, Lin Mo felt safe leaving them to their own devices. The three Primordial Sun Holy Land elders going against Bai Luo were all extremely powerful individuals. ¡°Let¡¯s finish this battle quickly. Once we¡¯re done here, we¡¯ll go and get rid of Yuan Cang for good.¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo launched a joint-attack against one of the elders. He was a tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, and he was by no means weak. A black hole spread out from Lin Mo¡¯s dantian, consuming the spiritual energy in the area. Upon unsheathing Absolute Snow Sword, Lin Mo immediately went all out. Intense flames shot up into the sky, fueled by his immensely powerful Sword Qi. ¡°Boom!¡± Flames erupted from Lin Mo¡¯s body. Using his God Devouring Body as a defensive measure and Absolute Snow Sword as a means of offense, Lin Mo went all out against the elder. After launching his first blow, Lin Mo immediately unleashed his Golden Scale Sword Technique, creating a massive area of effect that the elder could not escape from. A mere moment later, Lin Mo had already sliced off the elder¡¯s head. Lin Mo looted the elder¡¯s belongings and found two spirit-grade elixirs contained within the elder¡¯s Interspatial Ring. Aside from the elixirs, there was also a bloodstained stone within the ring. ¡°Huh, where¡¯d you find such a beauty?¡± Bai Luo asked while tossing a corpse over. It had taken two elders to match Bai Luo¡¯s combat prowess. As such, the moment Lin Mo dragged away one of them, Bai Luo immediately found it much easier to go against her remaining opponents. ¡°You know what this is?¡± Lin Mo asked. Although he could store the item within his system space and obtain its full information, he did not mind asking Bai Luo if she knew. ¡°It is a stone stained with the blood of a Phoenix. It¡¯s an extremely precious jewel that can be sold at astronomical prices.¡± Bai Luo sized up the stone and commented. ¡°Oh, what purpose can it serve?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. A stone stained with Phoenix blood was truly a rare treasure. After all, true Phoenixes were supposed to be stuffs of legends. He had never expected to encounter one within his entire lifetime, and yet, he had managed to obtain an item related to it. ¡°It¡¯s not from a true Phoenix. It¡¯s likely a third or fourth generation descendant of a true Phoenix. Though the blood is somewhat impure, it¡¯s still an extremely precious resource.¡± Bai Luo shook her head. The stone was at least spirit-grade tier 3 in quality. It was by no means bad. ¡°That¡¯s good enough.¡± Lin Mo excitedly exclaimed as he placed the item into his system space. At the same time, the system notified Lin Mo of the item¡¯s true stats. [ The Phoenix Blood Stone contains the blood of a true Phoenix¡¯s child. However, part of it essence has been absorbed before. Due to this, the item is only graded at spirit-grade tier 3. ] Bai Lui¡¯s observation was slightly off from the truth. The item actually contained the blood of a first generation descendant, however, since its essence had been absorbed once before, the end result was more or less the same. ¡°So, what can this item be used for, pray tell?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It can be used to refine certain weapons. I guess you can use it to upgrade your Absolute Snow Sword.¡± Bai Luo answered. At the same time, she felt a little sad. There was only one piece, otherwise, she would definitely ask for her share. ¡°If you want it, I can give it to you,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. However, the hidden meaning behind his words was very clear. Seeing this, Bai Luo rolled her eyes at Lin Mo and said, ¡°I know I know, you¡¯ll only give it to me in the form of an auction, right?¡± ¡°Hehe, you know me very well, Bai Luo!¡± Lin Mo grinned. ¡°Haha, I have no problem with that.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. However, deep down, Lin Mo was a little worried. He did not know whether the system would consider it as a legitimate auction transaction. [ Congratulations, host for successfully auctioning a spirit-grade tier 3 Phoenix Blood Stone ] [ You have successfully triggered a 6,000 fold rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit-grade tier 6 Phoenix Blood Stone ] Lin Mo had received another Phoenix Blood Stone from the rebate system, but it was 3 tiers higher than the one he had auctioned off. Upon inspecting his system space, he realized that the tier 6 version was vastly different from the tier 3 one. Without a doubt, the quality of a Phoenix Blood Stone was measured by the richness of the Phoenix blood contained within it. The Phoenix blood that was contained within his stone was much more precious and richer than Bai Luo¡¯s stone, and it had definitely warranted a tier 6 ranking. ¡°Speaking of which, why are you so obsessed with auctions?¡± Bai Luo asked curiously. Even if he was lacking in spiritual stones, he should not be lacking to such an extent. ¡°Would you believe me if it¡¯s simply because I¡¯m a businessman who¡¯s training himself at all times?¡± Lin Mo asked with a wry smile. ¡°That sounds very suspicious, but I can¡¯t fault your hobbies¡­¡± Bai Luo clearly did not believe him, but there was no reason to drill too deep into it. ¡°Forget it. You can inform me once you feel like revealing your secret.¡± Bai Luo waved her hand. She did not mind. She had her own secrets as well, after all. However, since they were friends, so long as the secret would not affect their relationship, she was fine leaving it as is. ¡°Righty-o.¡± With that, Lin Mo and Bai Luo separated once more. This time, Lin Mo had the Origin Spirit Puppet follow Bai Luo while he acted alone. After all, Bai Luo was at a higher cultivation realm than him, and her background was definitely more influential than his own. As such, she was tasked with hunting down the final elder, while Lin Mo would stay behind to watch over Lin Die and Yan Rong. Now that she had the Origin Spirit Puppet to back her up, Bai Luo could afford to loosen her nerves a little. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Upon arriving at another area, Lin Mo made his move once again to snatch a precious ore from a group of cultivators. ¡°Cloud Pattern Dao Copper, not bad.¡± No wonder there were so many experts fighting over it. It was truly a precious treasure. Following this, Lin Mo leaped away and snatched many more prizes from other battle zones. Both Bai Luo and Lin Mo had acted on the same principles. Essentially, they would head to wherever there were Primordial Sun Holy Land disciples. When it came to snatching treasures, their first priority was to kill all of the members from the Primordial Sun Holy Land. The treasure was a second priority, one that they would gladly forego if it meant that they could kill more Primordial Sun Holy Land members. Gradually, Yuan Cang realized what was taking place. However, it was already too late. All that was left of the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land was a single tier 27 powerhouse. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯re courting death.¡± Yuan Cang roared angrily. At the same time, he was also shocked by what he was seeing. Bai Luo who always seemed to have a domineering air around her was dripping with sweat, and her hair was disheveled. It was a sign that she had expended plenty of spiritual energy throughout her battles, and that her rate of using spirit energy had surpassed what spiritual pills could provide her with. On the other hand, Lin Mo was still full of vigor and vitality. He did not look like he had exhausted his spiritual energy at all. ¡°What on earth is supplying him with this much energy¡­¡± Yuan Cang noticed that something was amiss and looked at Lin Mo with fear in his eyes. At this moment, there was only one elder left by his side. The elder was in charge of protecting him and he had not once left his post.¡± ¡°Yan Rong, Lil¡¯ Die, go and help Lin Mo,¡± Bai Luo said. Silver armor appeared on her body once again. She held a long spear in her hand and stood in the air like a Valkyrie. At this moment, her combat strength had reached its peak. It even gave people the illusion that she was at tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm¡­ Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately ordered his Origin Spirit Puppet to back up Bai Luo. At the same time, he would take on Yuan Cang together with Yan Rong and Lin Die. Chapter 262 - Cutting Down Yuan Cang Much of the grievous wounds that Yuan Cang had suffered form had already recovered after taking spirit pills. However, even back when he was at his peak condition, Yuan Cang was still no match against Lin Mo, let alone now in his recuperating state. Under the combined attacks of the trio consisting of Lin Mo, Yan Rong, and Lin Die, Yuan Cang was forced to constantly retreat. His life was on the line. ¡°You brats are really courting death¡­¡± At this moment, a furious bellow came from afar, and an old man rushed out from within the palace. The person who had just arrived was the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land, and there were some blood stains on his clothes. Upon spotting the elder, Lin Mo, Yan Rong, and Lin Die immediately abandoned their attack and retreated. ¡°Fifth Elder, save me.¡± Yuan Cang cried out for help, feeling extremely aggrieved. Being treated in this manner by Lin Mo was simply a great humiliation for him. ¡°Crying for help are you? No matter, you will die today!¡± Lin Mo snapped at him. Every time he fought against Yuan Cang, Yuan Cang would be saved at the very end by someone, and he would have no choice but to let him go in frustration. Their last battle was the closest he had ever been to killing Yuan Cang, and yet, just as he was about to deliver the killing blow, he was interrupted. And now, history seemed to be repeating itself. ¡°Bai Luo, look after Lin Die and Yan Rong!¡±Lin Mo shouted and ordered his puppet to return. Upon receiving its master¡¯s order, it immediately lunged at the fifth elder without any hesitation. ¡°How dare you stop me, you piece of junk!¡± The fifth elder roared angrily and slammed his palm into the Origin Spirit Puppet. ¡°What!?¡± However, much to the fifth elder¡¯s surprise, the Origin Spirit Puppet did not explode into smithereens as he had expected it to. Although the puppet¡¯s chest had caved in and had a palm imprint on it, it had still managed to take on the fifth elder¡¯s first attack. This was exactly what Lin Mo wanted. He had finished charging up his Golden Scale Sword Technique with the time the puppet had bought him. With that, he then swung down the dazzling golden Sword Qi at Yuan Cang. ¡°No¡­¡± Yuan Cang was terrified. He wanted to retaliate, but the newly inflicted wounds on his body had prevented him from doing so. ¡°Squelch.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s Absolute Snow Sword descended, and the golden light that wreathed it had sliced Yuan Cang¡¯s body into two halves. He was dead. ¡°Haha, your ranking on the Yanhuang Board of Fame is mine now.¡± Lin Mo laughed smugly as he snatched Yuan Cang¡¯s spatial bag away. Meanwhile, upon noticing that Lin Mo¡¯s strike had hit its mark, Bai Luo immediately grabbed Lin Die and Yan Rong, and fled the area. Although the fifth elder possessed movement techniques of his own, they were only of tier 7, and thus, Bai Luo¡¯s tier 9 Traceless Wind had severely outsped him. Seeing this, Lin Mo ordered his Origin Spirit Puppet to cover his rear as he turned tail and ran. ¡°LITTLE B*STARD! I WILL GRIND YOU TO DUST TODAY!¡± 1 The fifth elder¡¯s furious roar resounded throughout the entire palace, causing everyone who heard his cry to be stunned for a moment. They were in disbelief. Just like that, a prodigy of the Yanhuang Board of Fame had perished. ¡°Oh my God¡­¡± ¡°Was it Lin Mo who did the deed? He¡¯s pretty strong, isn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°Haha, nice! The Primordial Sun Holy Land were a pain in the *ss to deal with anyway¡­¡± The bloodshed that was taking place within the palace was temporarily halted as many discussed the sudden turn of events amongst themselves. While most were reeling over the fact that Yuan Cang had died, the fifth elder was reeling over something else altogether. It had just dawned on him that while he was fighting for resources within the palace, all other disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land had been killed by Lin Mo and his party, leaving him as the only surviving member of their expedition crew. ¡°Lin Mo, you f*cking scum! I swear that I¡¯ll hack you to pieces!¡± The fifth elder was furious. At this moment, he had tossed all his desires aside. No longer did he want any resources from the palace. All he needed was only Lin Mo¡¯s head. ¡°Will Lin Mo be able to escape?¡± One of the many individuals within the palace exclaimed. A powerhouse at the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm was going after him. This was no laughing matter. No matter how talented Lin Mo was, escaping from the elder would surely prove to be a tall task, if not an impossible one, for him. Lin Mo would likely be killed by the fifth elder by the end of the day. As an accomplice, the woman in white who accompanied Lin Mo would likely suffer the same fate. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please calm down. There¡¯s no need to make such a big fuss.¡± Su Hanhai approached the fifth elder with a body full of injuries. Following closely behind him were Elder Mo and several others. They were all tier 30 or tier 31 experts. The appearance of those powerful individuals was accompanied by a mass eruption of power. Nevertheless, it did little to quell the fifth elder¡¯s rage. ¡°Calm down!? Calm down!? Screw you!¡± The fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land cursed loudly, seemingly losing his sense of reason. The only thoughts running through the elder¡¯s mind was to kill Lin Mo. He was on a one-track-mind, obsessing over Lin Mo¡¯s death. He would kill Lin Mo, by hook or by crook, regardless of whatever punishment the eighth prince would mete out to him. ¡°Haha, you really are a bag of bones, aren¡¯t you, old man? How could you not kill me despite possessing that much power at your fingertips?¡± Lin Mo made sure to taunt the elder while he was fleeing away. This made the other party furious. He desperately wanted to kill Lin Mo, but there was nothing he could do. Lin Mo¡¯s speed was too fast, and there was no way he could catch up to him. Furthermore, every time he attempted to use a technique to strike at Lin Mo, his Origin Spirit Puppet would appear to block his attacks. Lin Mo¡¯s antics were driving the fifth elder mad. While he was escaping, Lin Mo noticed that the fifth elder did not possess any special movement techniques, and thus, he felt completely at ease. It was to the extent upon spotting rare treasures, he would stop and pick them out before turning around to mock at the fifth elder once more. However, something unexpected happened. Just as Lin Mo was about to reach the center of the palace, an invisible screen of light had blocked his path¡­ ¡°What is this?¡± Lin Mo was stunned, and so were the surrounding onlookers. As a result of the hold-up, the fifth elder had finally caught up to Lin Mo. The fifth elder launched a powerful fist imbued at Lin Mo, but the latter had skillfully dodged it. As a result, the elder had ended up hitting the screen of light. ¡°Bzzzzz.¡± The elder¡¯s powerful attack had only caused ripples to appear across the light screen¡¯s surface before disappearing. The invisible screen of light did not budge at all. At this moment, waves of fluctuations occurred throughout the palace. Special scriptures had appeared in all four corners of the palace. ¡°Profound Sword Dao Principles?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He did not expect the grand treasure of the palace to be Daoist techniques. ¡°That¡¯s not right. They¡¯re martial art techniques, at least that¡¯s what the runes say.¡± ¡°Nonsense. It¡¯s clearly a cultivation technique. That evolving screen of light is undoubtedly a powerful cultivation art.¡± There were many differing opinions on the truth of the matter. ¡°The true heirlooms?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Were they the final heirlooms? Furthermore, since each person seemed to be seeing something completely different, no one knew what the others had learned unless they explicitly asked. Many people were pleasantly surprised. They sat on the ground and began to take in the meaning of the projected runes on the light screen. However, Lin Mo did not share the same luxury as his fellow cultivators. This was because not too far away, the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land was glaring at him furiously. A silver light flashed, and Bai Luo had appeared beside Lin Mo with Yan Rong and Lin Die. They were being hunted down, and now that the final heirloom had appeared, it was obvious that the fifth elder would not let them pick up any meaningful lesson from the heirloom¡¯s runes. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m easy to bully?¡± Lin Mo snapped angrily. He activated his Origin Spirit Puppet, and numerous runes appeared on it. Seeing this, Bai Luo immediately followed up Lin Mo by firing an orb of white light into the puppet¡¯s dantian. Outsiders would not be able to see it clearly, but as the owner of the Origin Spirit Puppet, Lin Mo could clearly detect that Bai Luo had placed a high-grade spiritual stone into the puppet. Instantly, the damage that had been inflicted upon the puppet began to heal at breakneck speeds. At the same time, Lin Mo ordered his Origin Spirit Puppet to rise into the air. Throughout all this, the Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s body was glowing brilliantly. The crowd watched for a while longer before they finally understood what Lin Mo was trying to pull. ¡°He wants to self-destruct the puppet¡­¡± Many onlookers exclaimed in shock. The puppet was around a tier 26 Dragon Transformation Realm expert in strength, and thus, they found it rather wasteful to make it self-destruct. Chapter 263 - Comprehending Dao Principles ¡°Little friend, let¡¯s not act recklessly here. Things haven¡¯t gone south to the point where you have to pull off such a move.¡± Su Hanhai was shocked by what he was seeing and he hurriedly stepped forward to stopLin Mo. The Origin Spirit Puppet was highly valuable, and it would be a crying shame to have is self-destruct. Furthermore, the puppet was supposed to be one of Lin Mo¡¯s trump cards. Should he lose it, his safety in future scenarios would be jeopardized. ¡°Junior, this old man doesn¡¯t believe that you¡¯re really going to make that puppet self-destruct,¡± the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land said provocatively. Even though those were his own words, the elder dared not step take a single step forward and had assumed a defensive stance. He chose to act with caution. If a puppet of this level were to self-destruct, even he would be injured by the explosive power it would unleash. If that were the case, he would not be able to fight for the heirloom should it finally appear. ¡°Let¡¯s just call a truce for now, shall we? I¡¯m sure the main goal of everyone here is to comprehend the Dao principles contained within this palace. You mustn¡¯t let your personal grudges ruin everyone¡¯s experience¡­¡± Elder Mo spoke up at this moment. When Elder Mo spoke, everyone around nodded in agreement. A number of powerhouses at tier 30 and tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm looked at Lin Mo and the fifth elder with disdain. Everyone present was trying to obtain resources to improve their cultivation base, yet, those two individuals were threatening to destroy it all over a petty squabble. ¡°Alright¡­ I¡¯ll do as Elder Mo says¡­¡± The fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land gnashed his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. If he did not back down here, he might find himself with more enemies to take on than just Lin Mo alone. Moreover, since it was Elder Mo who had given him the warning, he needed to comply as it would be treated as an act of disrespect otherwise. ¡°Good. Now, everyone, please line up according to your personal strength.¡± The moment Elder Mo finished speaking, he immediately flew to the front of the invisible light screen, sat on the ground, and began to comprehend the Dao principles contained within the screen of light. As the only one present who was half-a-step into the Nirvana Realm, it was his natural right to lay claim to the front most spot. Upon seeing this, Su Hanhai, Qin Yu, and several powerhouses stepped forward, sat cross-legged in the second row, and began to cultivate. Very quickly, everyone else followed suit. Although Lin Mo and Bai Luo could technically sit in the third row with the strength they possessed, they chose not to. Perhaps it was due to their natural talent, but their distance from the light screen did not seem to affect their cultivation rate too much. With that being the case, they had chosen to sit behind instead. ¡°Big brother, big sister Bai Luo, I¡¯m seeing two types of Dao principles. Which one should I comprehend?¡± Once they were properly seated, Lin Die questioned Lin Mo and Bai Luo. ¡°They¡¯re probably Dao principles of flames and spear techniques. If that¡¯s the case, you should comprehend the spear techniques. After all, you were born with the innate ability to comprehend fire Dao principles. As such, you¡¯ll eventually pick them up without external help.¡± Bai Luo instructed Lin Die, and at the same time, she also told Lin Mo to do the same with his sword techniques. Dao principles related to weapons were extremely precious since they were the hardest type of Dao principle to comprehend. As such, should the opportunity present itself to them, they should do everything in their power to understand them. Lin Mo sat cross-legged, listening to the sound of the Great Dao and observing the Dao written on the screen of light. Before long, he sank into a deep level of cultivation, and in his tranced state, he envisioned himself transforming into a form of a dagger. The dagger slowly grew into a sharpsword. Gradually, it became infused with spiritual energy and evolved into a tier 1 spirit weapon. Throughout the simulation, the spirit blade clashed against all sorts of weapons, slicing and hacking away at its enemies as it gradually evolved. Lin Mo was fully immersed in the illusion, unable to extricate himself. Using this sort of medium to convey Dao principles was nothing short of a wonder method. ¡°And so, I ¡®ve reached the spirit-grade¡­¡± Lin Mo whispered under his breath. Before he realized, his sword had already reached the spirit-grade, as could be observed from its radiant sheen which resonated with his own personal aura. Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body was triggered, and suddenly, a mysterious power began to seep into the illusion. The God Devouring Body underwent a transformation. It mixed with the spiritual energy of the spirit blade and as time went by, the blade¡¯s radiant sheen began to fade away. In its place, a sparkling white orb of liquid appeared. It seem to be a form of condensed spiritual energy. Slowly, but surely, the white orb of liquid turned golden. As more and more Dao principles were added in, flames began to ignite across the golden liquid¡¯s surface and within it. The God Devouring Body began to circulate its energy, and a small black hole appeared within Lin Mo¡¯s dantian. It was extremely profound, and it absorbed spiritual energy from all directions. At it did so, Lin Mo observed how each of the previous Dao principles he had comprehended come together, mingling and integrating into something that was greater than their individual parts. Suddenly, Lin Mo was enlightened. He began to see more, and parts that used to be obscure to him gradually turned clearer. He had received massive gains from this experience. The golden flames within the black hole were set ablaze, and Lin Mo could distinctly feel something brewing within the flames, Gradually, the Dao principles written on the screen of light came to a stop, and Lin Mo could no longer read anything. From this, Lin Mo realized that he had fully comprehended all that the light screen could convey to him, and he was greatly moved by such a realization. Cultivating in such a manner was nothing short of a magical experience to him. He had started off by following the way of a sword, and in the end, he had integrated all the lessons he learned while being a sword into his other techniques. Nevertheless, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation¡¯s realm was still at tier 18, and the experience had did nothing to improve his cultivation realm. ¡°The golden divine flames within my dantian seems to be forging something. I wonder what it is? Could it be my Dao?¡± 2 Lin Mo frowned. Although his cultivation session had come to an end, he remained in deep thought as he tried to verify the lessons he had learned. As for the rest of his party, they were all still trying to comprehend the Dao principles that were presented to them. Bai Luo¡¯s aura had grown stronger since he last saw her, and since her cultivation realm was higher than Lin Mo¡¯s, it was only natural that she needed a longer time to comprehend her Dao principles. Despite racking his brain, Lin Mo was still unable to come up with any ideas as to what was happening within his body. The golden flames within him were constantly devouring spiritual energy, not of his own, but from the surroundings. Seeing as what was transpiring was beyond his ability to comprehend, Lin Mo simply stood up and looked around. However, much to his surprise, no one had yet to finish their cultivation session. Some of them were comprehending martial arts, while others were comprehending cultivation techniques. There were very few people like him who had the chance to comprehend raw Dao principles. After all, the Dragon Transformation Realm was a stage that focused on cultivating one¡¯s physical body via improvement of the spine. However, geniuses such as Lin Mo had already come into contact with Dao principles early on. Usually, the comprehension of Dao principles only took place in the Nirvana Realm. Lin Mo closed his eyes to rest his mind and protected Bai Luo and the others. At the same time, he had also summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet to keep guard. Once others had woken up around Lin Mo, they were shocked by what they had seen. They knew very well what Lin Mo had spent his cultivation session comprehending. It was undoubtedly the same thing as what Elder Mo and the other powerhouses were comprehending, it was the Great Dao principles. They were a type of Dao principle in which only Nirvana Realm cultivators could comprehend. Most ordinary folks did not even have the right to lay eyes on such profundities. Moreover, Lin Mo had only taken two hours to fully comprehend the Great Dao principles. Not only that, from the looks of it, he did not seem to be very satisfied with his gains. They felt frustrated just looking at him. Just as everyone had thought, Lin Mo was indeed not very satisfied with what he had learned. Sure, he might have comprehended some Great Dao principles regarding sword techniques, and had even nurtured an orb of divine golden flame within dantian, but still, he knew not of the purpose the flames served. He felt like a spectator watching the changes taking place within his body. ¡°Could there be a sword being forged within this divine flame?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts ran. If that were the case, it would be a heaven-defying and unprecedented scenario. After all, he had not even learned how to forge yet, and here his God Devouring Body was, forging a blade for him instead. At this moment, Lin Mo stared in front of him. He felt that there was something strange about the area caught within the screen of light. It was the place where Su Hanhai and many other powerhouses had fought each other for treasures earlier. Logically speaking, such an intense battle should have resulted in massive damages. However, as far as Lin Mo could tell by peering into it, there was not a single trace of blood, let alone any traces of battle. ¡°How can this palace be this sturdy?¡± Lin Mo sighed. After all, the people who had fought there earlier were extremely powerful. ¡°Wait, no blood?¡± Chapter 264 - Strange Phenomenon Lin Mo suddenly thought of something. His gaze was fixed on the center of the chamber they were in, beyond the screen of light, and of the scene within it. There was not a single trace of blood to be seen. Back when the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land, Su Hanhai, and even Elder Mo had first appeared, they were all injured. An intense battle had definitely erupted inside, and he was certain that there was fresh blood splattered everywhere. However, as far as he can see, there were no bloodstains. ¡°Lin Mo, look behind you.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo¡¯s voice rang out. Lin Mo turned around, and to his surprise, the bloodstains behind him had also disappeared. Since they had not entered the palace¡¯s inner chamber prior to the final heirloom¡¯s appearance, they were unaware of the happenings that had taken place in there. However, that was not the case for the outside of the palace. After all, they had fought there. From what they could recall, the outside of the palace was supposed to be filled with a rich flowery fragrance as well as spirit herbs sprouting everywhere. However, in this moment, the spirit herbs had withered, and it seemed to be devoid of any form of wildlife. Some of the corpses of the recently deceased had already decomposed into withered, brittle bones. All it took was a breeze for them to scatter and disappear without a trace. Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly checked his collection of resources. Much to his relief, all of the items he had collected earlier were still present and safe. ¡°How strange. This area was still full of vitality just moments ago, but now, it completely barren.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. What exactly had happened here. Perhaps it was a sign that something big was about to take place¡­ ¡°I believe that the best course of action that we can take is to wake up the disciples of the Su clan and the Purple Moon Holy Land,¡± Bai Luo suggested. Although the disciples were of decent talent, as things stood, they were rather weak. Moreover, the martial arts that they were capable of using were not particularly good. If possible, Lin Mo would rather not see them perish in such a place. After all, they were both friendly factions affiliated with him, and their existence was a rarity among these parts. ¡°I have two spirit-grade manuals on me, one containing a cultivation technique and the other containing a martial art technique. Use them as compensation to try and convince them to leave.¡± Bai Luo provided Lin Mo with capital, just in case he was unable to convince them to leave. It was one thing if something had actually happened and Lin Mo would be thanked for saving them. However, if nothing happened, Lin Mo would likely draw plenty of flak for disrupting their cultivation. Thus, Bai Luo had offered up her manuals as a way to appease them. ¡°Good idea. Please watch over Lil¡¯ Die and Yan Rong for me.¡± Lin Mo nodded, it was all up to him now. He slowly searched and woke up the disciples of the Su family and the Purple Moon Holy Land one by one. As expected, the disciples were outraged at having Lin Mo interfere with their comprehension of martial arts and cultivation techniques. ¡°The situation has changed. I think it¡¯s best that all of you leave the main hall.¡± Lin Mo explained himself. The disciples of the Su clan did as they were told. They listened to Lin Mo¡¯s advice and left the area, much to most onlookers¡¯ astonishment. As for the Purple Moon Holy Land, an elder had come up to Lin Mo to seek an even more detailed explanation. ¡°I¡¯m Li Su, the ninth elder of the Purple Moon Holy Land. I might not be as powerful as the elders from other factions, but I¡¯m no push-over either. Lin Mo, what are you trying to pull here?¡± The old woman said with a frown. Lin Mo had interrupted her while she was halfway through comprehending a spirit-grade cultivation technique. As such, she was very angry at him. ¡°Here, take this spirit-grade cultivation technique and martial arts manual as compensation. But please, leave this place. There¡¯s something strange going on here.¡± Lin Mo responded while handing over the cultivation technique and martial art manuals to the elder, startling her. ¡°What makes you think so?¡± Li Su was shocked. Realizing that Lin Mo was being serious, she quickly restrained her temper. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but things are looking bad here, no harm in being careful.¡± Lin Mo responded and watched the elder leave. After going through all the normal disciples, Lin Mo then slowly walked up to the first row of cultivators. It was there that he realized that Su Hanhai and the other high-ranking cultivators had already entered a deep-state of cultivation. ¡°You¡¯ve sensed it too, haven¡¯t you?¡± Upon reaching the first row, Lin Mo encountered a young man standing in front of an old man with a solemn gaze. ¡°And, you are?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He did not recognize the person. ¡°Number 18 on the Board of Fame, Qi Tao of the Green Sea Palace.¡± The young man smiled as he revealed his identity. ¡°OHH.¡± Lin Mo was startled. He did not expect to encounter yet another top ranker in the ruins. ¡°Something feels off here. Look here,¡± Qi Tao pointed at the old man in front of him. Following the direction that Qi Tao was pointing, Lin Mo noticed a pool of blood in front of the old man. It was not just him. There were pools of blood in front of all the tier 30 and tier 31 powerhouses. ¡°This is their blood essence that was forcefully extracted from them.¡± Bai Luo had arrived with Lin Mo¡¯s Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s tailing her. Lin Die had finished comprehending her Dao principles, and as for Yan Rong, after investigating and finding out that he was only comprehending a spirit-grade cultivation technique, she forcefully snapped him out of his trance. Bai Luo only went after Lin Mo once she had escorted both of the them out. ¡°That¡¯s right. I tried to wake up the elder of my Green Sea Palace, but it was useless. He seemed to be caught in a deep trance, and his blood essence was constantly being forced out of him.¡± Qi Tao said with a helpless expression. ¡°We should check up on them as well.¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo exchanged glances with each other, immediately understanding what they needed to do. They went their separate ways to look for Qin Yu and Su Hanhai. After hesitating for a moment, they then reached out with their hands and tapped at the space between their brows. ¡°Bzz.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s finger was flicked away. He attempted to use his spiritual energy to invade Qin Yu¡¯s mind space, but it was to no avail. ¡°How could this happen?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Even those who had gone extremely deep into their secluded cultivation would not be this unresponsive to outside stimuli. ¡°I can¡¯t wake him up.¡± Bai Luo had also returned. She shook her head, indicating that her efforts to wake up Su Hanhai had failed. ¡°Bzzz.¡± At this moment, another wave of fluctuations spread out from the light screen. Seemingly possessed, the powerhouses seated at the first row cut their fingers and forced out a drop of their blood essence. However, the same phenomenon soon extended to those seated at the back rows as well. They also began to cut themselves to drip their blood essence. The moment their blood essence touched the ground, they were immediately absorbed by the earth, disappearing without a trace. The scene was highly abnormal, and it caused Lin Mo and the other conscious cultivators to be alarmed. ¡°Ha!¡± Qi Tao let out a powerful roar and unleashed a huge amount of his aura to force the unconscious people awake. Unfortunately, even with his powerful spiritual energy,no one had woken up. ¡°Damn it, what sorcery is this?¡± Qi Tao roared furiously. Furthermore, the speed at which everyone¡¯s blood essence was being depleted was also ramping up. Some were already tuning pale. Despite this, the cultivators were still fully concentrated in trying to comprehend whatever technique that the light screen was showing them. ¡°Let¡¯s join powers and attack the light screen.¡± Lin Mo promptly suggested. The trio brought out their spirit-grade weapons together. In Qi Tao¡¯s case, his weapon was a pair of war hammers which exuded a golden glow. The three of them dared not waste any more time. Immediately after unsheathing their weapons, they then leaped into the air and executed their spirit-grade martial arts. ¡°Golden Scale Sword Technique!¡± ¡°Silver Dragon Piercing Sun!¡± ¡°Raging Wave Strike!¡± Terrifying waves of energy were unleashed in that moment. All three of them had executed the most powerful move in their arsenal. ¡°Rumble!¡± Despite this, however, all their attacks had managed to do was leave behind tiny ripples across the light screen¡¯s surface. Once the energy ripples dissipated, the light screen looked as good as new. Their attacks had been completely ineffective. ¡°This isn¡¯t something we can break.¡± Bai Luo immediately shook her head and gave up on the idea of shattering the screen. Furthermore, thinking back to when the fifth elder had attacked Lin Mo, his attack, too, had been completely nullified by the screen of light. ¡°Cough! Gak! Ack¡­¡± A violent coughing sound could be heard. One of the cultivators sitting at the front suddenly opened his eyes and coughed up a mouthful of black blood. ¡°How vicious¡­¡± That person was Kong Xiu from the Peacock Spirit Clan. He had snapped out of his trance, and his entire body trembled as it happened. He took out a spirit pill and consumed it. Only then did he gradually recover. Chapter 265 - Dutian God Slaying Formation ¡°Senior Kong Xiu, you¡¯re awake?¡± Qi Tao was overjoyed. Their joint attack that he thought was ineffective had actually been slightly useful. ¡°It¡¯s you three?¡± Kong Xiu was stunned. The moment he turned around and spotted Lin Mo, his face immediately darkened. ¡°You sure you want to treat me like that? I just saved you.¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. At the same time, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Out of all the people who could be saved, why not Elder Mo, who was the strongest individual present? He was half a step into the Nirvana Realm, and yet, he still woke up later than Kong Xiu. Kong Xiu looked at Lin Mo¡¯s expression and snorted coldly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you supposed to be a smart one? You should know that the speed of one¡¯s awakening depends on one¡¯s talent, right? The better one¡¯s talent is, the earlier they¡¯ll finish comprehending the light screen¡¯s contents.¡± ¡°Oh, so what you¡¯re saying is that the three of us are superior to you?¡± Lin Mo sneered as he retorted. ¡°You¡­¡± Kong Xiu was mad, but he did not know how to refute the claim. He had indeed been entranced by the light screen¡¯s contents. Although he could sense that something odd was happening, he had no means of escaping from its clutches. It was only due to the waning of the light screen¡¯s power caused by the juniors¡¯ joint attack that had given him enough wiggle room to break free. ¡°Senior, the most important thing right now is to solve this problem.¡± Bai Luo walked forward and gave him a faint smile. She pointed at the spot in the back where the disciples of the Peacock Spirit Clan were. The members of his clan were trapped and were unable to break free. After all, if even their leader had struggled to escape its clutches, what chance did the weaker disciples have? ¡°This is the Dutian God Slaying Formation. It¡¯s one of the most enigmatic killing formations since ancient times,¡± Kong Xiu said. He was not sure at first, but after experiencing its effects first-hand and seeing the situation his clan members were in, he immediately understood. ¡°A Dutian God Slaying Formation? How could such a formation exist in the eastern continent?¡± Bai Luo was shocked. This was impossible. The eastern continent was supposed to be extremely weak in the past. Even an organization as huge as the Ancient Flame Sect should not wield this much power. ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Qi Tao also nodded. They did not understand what Bai Luo and Kong Xiu were going on about. ¡°Hehe, the little girl¡¯s knowledge is quite broad.¡± Kong Xiu looked at Bai Luo in approval and explained, ¡°The Dutian God Slaying Formation is an ancient forbidden formation. It is extremely powerful and should not be underestimated.¡± The most important thing was that once the formation was activated, it would trap the people caught it in and use their blood essence to maintain the formation. Once it had completely drained the blood essence of its victims, the Dutian God Slaying Formation would explode. When that happened, the weakened victims within the formation stood no chance of surviving it. Moreover, the formation they were currently in was only an incomplete version of the Dutian God Slaying Formation. Had it been the proper version, no one would have been able to escape. ¡°Then do you know how to break the formation?¡± Qi Tao asked. This was the most crucial part. ¡°At our level of strength? No. You guys should come with me. I can bring you guys out.¡± Kong Xiu answered. He looked at Lin Mo. Since Lin Mo had saved his life, he was willing to turn him from an enemy to a friend. Although he had lost a son, as the leader of the clan, he knew very well what the consequences of offending a peerless genius were. He only had two choices, one was to exterminate Lin Mo now, while he was still weak, or two, to befriend him. Otherwise, the peacock spirit clan was destined to be annihilated in the future once Lin Mo had become too strong for his clan to take down. ¡°You¡¯re letting go of your grudge against me for killing your son?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. ¡°Don¡¯t you humans have a saying about repaying kindness with kindness? Well, as the savior of my life, it would be distasteful for me to continue holding a grudge over you. Plus, I¡¯m pretty sure the fault lies with Kong Xuan anyway. His skills were inferior, and so, he lost, simple as that¡­¡± Kong Xiu shook his head. He was really grateful to Lin Mo and the other two youths for saving his life. He was the final bastion for the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s survival, after all. The clan could not do without him. If he were to weigh the continuation of his race and his own son, he could clearly distinguish which was of greater importance. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s no need to linger here a second longer. The Dutain God Slaying Formation cannot be broken.¡± Kong Xiu shook his head. ¡°Indeed. The Dutian God Slaying Formation was set up by an owner of the God Devouring Body back in ancient times. Although this is just an incomplete version of the formation, judging by its strength, we¡¯ll need to at least be in the Nirvana Realm to stand a chance in breaking it¡­¡± Bai Luo shook her head. She really did not expect such a powerful formation to be hidden away in the small eastern continent. ¡°God-devouring Body?¡± Upon hearing those words, Lin Mo cried out in surprise. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss. Wielders of the God Devouring Body have long gone extinct. There¡¯s nothing to worry about,¡± Kong Xiu stated. ¡°Are none of you¡­ Curious about the domain that I usually use in battles?¡± Lin Mo raised his head and looked at everyone. ¡°Could it be that you possess the God Devouring Body?¡± Bai Luo had a look of disbelief. How could a wielder of the God Devouring Body be born in such a small family? Due to the amount of resources it consumed, even organizations as huge as holy lands could not afford to raise a wielder of such an ability. Moreover, the more an individual advanced, the more resources it consumed. At some point, even a nation like the Yanhuang Divine Empire would be unable to afford it¡­ ¡°Why not?¡± Lin Mo grinned, leaking one of his secrets. He then activated his God Devouring Body, indicating that he was not lying to them. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Qi Tao and Kong Xiu were shocked and they looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. An individual possessing such a physique could not have possibly survived within an ordinary family. From the background checks they had done on Lin Mo, they were certain that he was a disciple of the Lin family, and from what they investigated, Lin Mo had even been expelled by his family at one point. His cultivation results were a culmination of his own efforts as well as the spiritual stones he had obtained from hosting auctions. However, now that the information of him possessing a God Devouring Body had come to light, his abnormal obsession with spiritual stones had finally made sense. ¡°No wonder you¡¯re always so short of spiritual stones¡­¡± Bai Luo nodded. Everything had finally clicked together. The devouring God body was constantly cultivating and was extremely taxing on resources. Even for someone of Bai Luo¡¯s background, possessing a God Devouring Body would still drain the family coffers dry. However, Lin Mo had no such background. ¡°No wonder you¡¯ve devoted yourself to the eighth prince¡­¡± Bai Luo heaved a sigh, and pointed out a glaring issue to him. ¡°You can¡¯t even afford to take care of yourself. How can you possibly take care of Lil¡¯ Die then? So, I have a proposal for you. Why don¡¯t you sell her to me instead?¡± Bai Luo suddenly recalled one of her main goals, which was to take Lil¡¯ Die away from Lin Mo. ¡°Bugger off¡­¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes, before turning to Kong Xiu and asking him a question. ¡°Senior, how can I break apart this God Slaying Formation?¡± Su Hanhai had saved him many times, and there was also Qin Yu, a newly formed ally. They were individuals he absolutely had to save. ¡°Activate the God Devouring Body and have it surround yourself. Doing so would grant you entry into the formation, but it¡¯s also extremely dangerous,¡± Kong Xiu instructed. At the same time, he also tried to persuade Lin Mo to give up. The God Devouring Body was not an easy technique to cultivate, and he was also making plans to invest in Lin Mo in exchange for protecting the Peacock Spirit Clan in the future. ¡°You guys should leave this place.¡± Lin Mo nodded in affirmation to Kong Xiu¡¯s instructions before giving instructions of his own. The Dutian God Slaying Formation was ineffective against a wielder of a God Devouring Body. It was for this reason that he was able to understand the Dao principles much quicker than the others earlier. However, his task this time was of a grander scale than understanding Dao principles. He needed to enter light and destroy the formation¡¯s core. ¡°If I can somehow manage to learn how to use the Dutian God Slaying Formation, my combat strength will grow exponentially.¡± Lin Mo smiled and expanded his God Devouring Body to cover his body. In the next moment, he stepped into the light screen. ¡°What a familiar feeling. It¡¯s of the same origin as the God Devouring Body¡­¡± The moment he entered, Lin Mo sensed an aura that was reminiscent of the God Devouring Body. The spiritual energy within this area of the palace had already been sucked dry. It was completely barren. Lin Mo wandered around the interior of the formation, but still, he was unable to locate its core. ¡°Damn it, where is it?¡± He cursed angrily. Worse still, he realized that the interior was gradually devouring his spiritual energy¡­ Chapter 266 - Boundless Darkness As he went deeper, Lin Mo¡¯s body was swiftly enveloped by a wave of darkness. Not a single trace of light could be seen in his surroundings. This place was chaotic. Not a single sound could be heard. When Lin Mo opened his mouth, he could feel himself speaking. However, his voice could not be heard. The spiritual energy in his body could not be used, and his surroundings were filled with darkness. It was hard to imagine how long a person could endure in such an environment. Walking inside, Lin Mo was aimless. At first, he was rather flustered, but he quickly calmed down. If he panicked in such an environment, he would very easily go crazy. The more this was the case, the more he had to calm down. Otherwise, he would forever be stuck in the darkness, unable to extricate himself, and would eventually be devoured. The Dutian God Slaying formation was created using the essence of the God Devouring body as its power. It was impossible for an ordinary person to replicate it. What could be set up was definitely the God Devouring Body. Moreover, it was an existence with powerful combat strength. Lin Mo walked forward, forgetting about the world and space. He only knew to walk forward numbly. He was like an ascetic cultivator, struggling to cross over in the chaotic world. His footsteps never stopped. Lin Mo¡¯s willpower was far beyond that of an ordinary person. However, he felt as if a long time had passed. There were a few times when he felt like he wanted to die. He only felt that the capital God Slaying Formation was the most terrifying cage in the world. However, as time passed, Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness became even more resolute. There was a hint of vigor in his eyes as if he had experienced countless lives before. He gradually forgot everything. He even forgot what he came here for. In a trance, his subconscious told him to move forward. ¡°Look at the road with your heart, and stick to your heart. Everything is an illusion.¡± In the dark space, Lin Mo continued to move forward. The conviction in his heart was telling him to move forward and search¡­ Behind Lin Mo, a ray of light suddenly appeared. It descended from the sky. ¡°This is¡­ Spiritual energy.¡± Lin Mo spoke with a hoarse voice. He felt that he had not spoken for hundreds of years. At this moment, he could hear his voice and feel the spiritual energy. His forgotten memories returned to his mind. ¡°Very tempting¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the ray of light behind him unwillingly. He took a few steps forward, wanting to head there. But in the end, he stopped and shook his head helplessly. ¡°The road is in my heart, everything is an illusion¡­¡± Lin Mo decisively gave up on the light behind him and lifted his feet to continue moving forward. Over there, was an even deeper darkness, an endless abyss¡­ As he took a step forward, the light behind him shattered, and the spiritual energy that he had just sensed disappeared once again. There was no reluctance in his heart, so Lin Mo continued moving forward, heading deeper into the abyss. In the next moment, the entire space started to tremble violently. The endless darkness shattered, and light poured into it. Light and spiritual energy poured into the crack and spread out, illuminating the entire space. The spiritual energy that he had lost all returned in the next moment. He could feel the traces of the laws again. ¡°So terrifying¡­¡± After knowing everything, Lin Mo let out a long sigh. It was too dangerous. It turned out that the Dutian God Slaying Formation was so dangerous that even the God Devouring Body would have trouble with it. In the endless darkness, there was nothing. Unable to sense the passage of time, Lin Mo almost failed to walk out. Moreover, the most dangerous step was the final step. Facing the light in the darkness, this light of redemption was also a cruel test. However, in the end, he still relied on his own comprehension to find the correct path. ¡°This must be the core of the Dutian God Slaying Formation.¡± Lin Mo raised his head and found a special rune in this mysterious space. Only at this moment did Lin Mo discover to his surprise that his soul power had already become extremely condensed. At this moment, he felt that nothing could escape from him. He could see through everything with a single glance. This was the greatest reward he had obtained after entering. ¡°I just don¡¯t know how much time has passed outside, and whether Elder Su and the others are still alive¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. He felt that he had entered for quite some time. He had lost track of time and space, and he did not know what had happened during this process. Suddenly, a strange movement appeared in front of him. It shrank and entered the space between Lin Mo¡¯s brows. ¡°Crack.¡± Before he could comprehend it, the sound of something breaking could be heard. ¡°Not good, this place is going to collapse.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The thing that was supporting the Dutian God Slaying Formation was the rune from before. Now that the rune had entered his body, this place could not hold itself up on any longer. ¡°Rumble.¡± At the same time, as the crack grew bigger, a terrifying fluctuation swept out. Lin Mo¡¯s scalp instantly went numb, and the flaming wings on his back instantly flew out. Although he had spent many years in the palace, when he flew out, he saw Bai Luo and the others who were just about to leave. ¡°Run!¡± Lin Mo shouted loudly, reminding Bai Luo and the others to run. At the same time, the Dutian God Slaying Formation was broken, and countless people woke up. They saw Lin Mo and the others fleeing like crazy, not knowing why. In front of them, Elder Mo and the other experts felt that something was wrong. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. They released themselves and brought their subordinates with them, fleeing for their lives. Lin Mo and the others rushed to the front, followed by Elder Mo, Kong Xiu, and the others. Kong Xiu could have left immediately, but when he saw that his clansmen could be taken away, he went back and brought them along, wasting time. At this moment, the faces of the tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm experts were all filled with fear. Lin Mo and the others were the same, their hearts palpitating. The Dutian God Slaying Formation was too terrifying, and it was about to erupt. This force gave Lin Mo the feeling that it was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Nirvana stage expert. ¡°Ah!¡± In the next moment, that palace directly exploded, and a terrifying vortex that could annihilate everything appeared, as if it wanted to devour everything. ¡°Bang!¡± The palace exploded, and those who were not protected and were not strong were vaporized on the spot. Their protective weapons were all destroyed. ¡°No¡­!¡± Someone roared at the sky, unwilling to give up. He was swept away by the whirlpool and lost his life completely. ¡°What did you do?¡± Bai Luo approached Lin Mo and asked in a low voice. He was very curious. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. How long have I been in there?¡± Lin Mo asked. This was because he did not know that too much time had passed in the outside world. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just enter? The next second, you flew out and shouted for us to run.¡± Bai Luo frowned, expressing his confusion. ¡°I obtained a strange rune. After returning to ancient flame city, we¡¯ll split it up.¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment and said. This was very likely the inheritance of the ancient flame ruins. Otherwise, it would not have exploded the moment he obtained it. ¡°Really?¡± Bai Luo was shocked. He obtained it in less than a second after entering? Chapter 267 - A Deadly Trap As the two of them chatted, screams came from behind. Right at this moment, the Sima Clan¡¯s patriarch, who had been trying his best to protect his clansmen, was actually dragged underneath. In an instant, an expert at the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm died just like that. An even stronger shockwave erupted from the location of the palace, and the vortex became even larger. Some people even felt that their bodies were flying towards the center of the vortex, unable to escape. ¡°Bastard, this is a trap, a deadly trap!¡± Elder Mo said angrily. He was powerful, and he forcefully brought a group of people out. As for Su Hanhai and Qin Yu, they could not find tclansmen, so they chose to escape. Along the way, they also saw Lin Mo and Bai Luo. ¡°Ah!¡± Behind them, screams came one after another. The experts who could enter this place were all elites, except for those who were extremely lucky. However, these people were all dead, and less than 10% of them had escaped. ¡°How could this be?¡± Kong Xiu was extremely terrified. In order to protect his clansmen, he was forcefully injured by the energy in the vortex. Fortunately, he was once an expert and his combat strength was shocking. He actually forcefully brought people out. Apart from that, Elder Mo of the imperial family also used his strength to bring people out unharmed. The other experts were not so lucky. In order to ensure Qi Tao¡¯s safety, the elders of the Green Sea Palace had no choice but to give up some disciples and only brought out five people. The experts of the other factions were the same. They suffered heavy casualties and only heaved a sigh of relief after they had escaped the area covered by the vortex. ¡°Eh? Why did the people of the Purple Cloud Holy Land and the Su Clan come out earlier?¡± An expert said. His entire body was covered in blood, and his face was filled with unwillingness. The disciples he had led were all annihilated. Not a single one survived, and the geniuses of the sect had also fallen. Now that she saw that the people of the Purple Cloud Holy Land and the Su family were unharmed, she did not know what to feel. ¡°Little friend, did you do it?¡± Qin Yu was pleasantly surprised and very grateful to Lin Mo after hearing the experiences of the two female disciples. Her strength was not outstanding when compared to the experts of tiers 31 of the Dragon Transformation Stage. Although she was close to the Nirvana stage, her talent was there and her combat strength were nothing special. Without Lin Mo, the disciples of their Holy Land would only be able to survive two or three of them. ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, thank you so much.¡± Su Hanhai was very grateful after hearing what had happened. The surrounding people did not feel good after hearing what had happened. They looked at Lin Mo with resentful eyes but did not know what to say. ¡°Your talent is really powerful. You can actually detect danger ahead of time¡­¡± Elder Mo of the royal family was also shocked. Even though he had not been able to detect this great formation, Lin Mo had actually been able to detect it. ¡°Unfortunately, when I was still late when I discovered it. The seniors were already trapped by the Great Formation.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Following that, he looked at Qi Tao from the Blue Sea Palace, then looked at Kong Xiu. The two of them lowered their heads and did not say anything. Seeing this, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them knew that he had entered the palace. However, according to Bai Luo, he had only entered for a second. In that case, the two of them would not suspect that he had obtained the inheritance. ¡°That won¡¯t do either. How do I auction it off?¡± Soon, Lin Mo encountered another problem. The items in the inheritance must be very precious, and he had to sell it. If he sold it, though, the matter of him obtaining the inheritance be exposed¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll think about it¡­¡± After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo still did not plan on telling the two of them, even though it seemed like Kong Xiu really wanted to build a good relationship with him. However, they had just gotten to know each other after all, so it was best not to let them know of such important news. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there, hurry up and run, the vortex behind us is expanding.¡± Someone from the back chased after them and shouted out frantically. Everyone looked behind them. At the end of their line of sight, they could see a pitch-black black hole expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Mo and the others¡¯ faces turned pale as they frantically fled. However, the black hole was also very fast as it caught up to them. Furthermore, what shocked everyone was that they were unable to escape. They were currently at the border of the dragon transformation pool. Logically speaking, as long as they passed through the space in front of them, they should be able to escape. However, things were different now. The space had become incomparably hard, and any attack would be absorbed. ¡°What kind of evil secret realm is this?¡± Elder mo said angrily. He had used a spirit rank martial art, but it was also ineffective. ¡°I feel that it¡¯s better for us to attack together,¡± Kong Xiu said as he walked forward. His gaze swept past everyone. He paused slightly in front of Lin Mo, and his gaze changed slightly. Lin Mo¡¯s attention was also on Kong Xiu. When he noticed the change in Kong Xiu¡¯s gaze, he immediately understood. This Dragon Transformation Pool¡¯s space was able to absorb everyone¡¯s power. In that case, as a devourer body, he should be able to crack it. ¡°Good Idea. Let¡¯s attack together.¡± Elder Mo nodded. The black hole behind them was getting closer. If they did not leave now, it would be too late. ¡°Our Su family is willing to join hands.¡± Su Hanhai said. ¡°The Purple Cloud Holy Land is also willing.¡± Qin Yu stepped forward and said. At this time, they had to be united. ¡°Let¡¯s do it together.¡± Another person also stepped forward. His strength was powerful. He was a lone cultivator at the 31st level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The people who were still alive all agreed with this statement. They joined hands and brewed their own martial arts. Lin Mo also secretly circulated the power of the devouring God Body to cooperate with the others. After the attack was launched, Lin Mo suddenly felt a familiar power coming from Kong Xiu. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not resist. He allowed Kong Xiu¡¯s power to devour his attack to hide it. In the next moment, everyone¡¯s attacks ruthlessly smashed into the secret realm space. The sound of space shattering rang out, and the black hole behind them closed in. ¡°Run!¡± Seeing the space shattering, everyone swarmed up and rushed into it. Bai Luo picked up Lin Die and left the Dragon Transformation Pool. Lin Mo also used traceless wind, and his speed was extremely fast. He grabbed Yan Rong¡¯s shoulder and lifted him up, then flew out. ¡°What a terrifying secret realm. I did not expect such a dangerous killing formation to be hidden in the Dragon Transformation Pool.¡± Everyone was overjoyed. They turned around and saw that the entire Dragon Transformation Pool had been swallowed. There were four to five thousand people inside, but less than a hundred had escaped. ¡°This is a killing trap. The Ancient Flame Sect is vicious, using their inheritance to kill us.¡± Elder Mo¡¯s eyes were cold. He did not expect this mission to be so difficult. The imperial family had thought that it was just an ordinary ruin with a few spirit-grade treasures. Who would have thought that there would be spirit-grade treasures all over the place? His mission could be said to have exceeded his expectations. However, at the same time, in the following period of time, a large number of rank 9 and spirit-grade treasures would circulate in the eastern continent. A single Ancient Flame Ruin had produced too many treasures. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s escape this place first.¡± Lin Mo said. Looking at the black hole behind him, he had an indescribable feeling. This black hole gave him the feeling of a prehistoric beast. Although it was also the aura of a God Devourign Body, it was not pure. ¡°What exactly is it¡­¡± Chapter 268 - Escape Su Hanhai was very concerned about Lin Mo¡¯s words. He listened to him and prepared to leave. Qin Yu had also brought the disciples of the Purple Clouds Holy Land over. He said that the ruins were dangerous, so they might as well join forces. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Save me¡­¡± Suddenly, just as Lin Mo and the others were about to leave and the others were wavering, a miserable scream was heard. This immediately panicked everyone and they subconsciously started to run wildly. However, in the next moment, they saw that at the spot where a person was standing, runes lit up and a formation appeared below. This formation was very mysterious. As soon as it appeared, it devoured that person, leaving nothing behind. Everyone was shocked and did not dare to stay any longer. They turned around and ran. ¡°Xiao Die, Yan Rong, come.¡± Bai Luo took out a white jade gourd and opened the lid. A suction force was transmitted over and sucked the two into it. ¡°What a mysterious magical artifact¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s move really shocked Qin Yu and Su Hanhai. While they were curious, they were also very envious. The two of them still had a large group of disciples to take care of, so they were greatly restricted. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, I¡¯ll just give it to you¡­¡± Bai Luo Sighed and took out another spatial bag. There were two gemstones embedded on it, and they were dark green in color. ¡°This is a jade hundred treasure bag. It can hold living things, but it can only hold them for three hours. If you don¡¯t release it when the time is up, you¡¯ll die.¡± This was also a treasure, and it could be extremely useful at critical moments. If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Mo¡¯s sake, she would not have been willing to give it away. ¡°Many thanks to this lady. I can¡¯t thank you enough for your great kindness. If you need anything from the Purple Cloud Holy Land in the future, feel free to ask.¡± Qin Yu was overjoyed. She took the Jasper Hundred Treasure Bag and poured her soul power into it to understand its usage. She formed a seal with one hand and shouted at the disciples of the Purple Cloud Holy Land and the Su family, ¡°Take it.¡± Soon, a light flashed, and more than twenty disciples from the two families were taken in. Seeing this, Su Hanhai and Qin Yu were relieved. Although it could only last for an hour, it was not bad. ¡°Time is tight, let¡¯s go quickly,¡± Bai Luo reminded. After Lin Mo received the inheritance, the ruins changed. It was full of danger, and the array of formations that had been awakened could be seen everywhere. Moreover, after these people died, they would turn into pools of blood that would flow deep into the depths and be devoured by the huge whirlpool. Su Hanhai and Qin Yu no longer had any worries. They could give it their all and open up a path in front of them. Lin Mo and Bai Luo quickly followed. ¡°Damn it, what kind of place is this? Why are there killing arrays everywhere?¡± Su Hanhai cursed angrily, and his body was covered in wounds. Along the way, they had been running for their lives, and they had met quite a few people along the way. Some of them had even traveled with them. However, because they had triggered the killing arrays, they had all died. ¡°The killing arrays are so densely packed. Out of the hundreds of thousands of people who entered the ruins, less than a hundred survived.¡± Bai Luo sighed. ¡°We can¡¯t even protect ourselves. We can¡¯t worry about others,¡± Lin Mo said. Fortunately, Bai Luo had many treasures on his person. He took out a few talismans to let them survive the danger. Moreover, he used the spatial bag to keep Yan Rong and Lin Die. Otherwise, the two of them would have died long ago. All kinds of killing formations filled the sky in the ruins. All the demonic beasts had died long ago. Blood flowed into the interior of the ruins. ¡°Let¡¯s continue forward. We can¡¯t stay in these ruins for long,¡± Su Hanhai said. No one knew what would happen next. The four of them ran wildly, avoiding countless killing formations. However, there were some that were difficult to avoid. Soon, they were all injured. Bai Luo¡¯s bright silver armor cracked, and a terrifying sword qi pierced through it, injuring his left shoulder. There was also a shocking sword scar on Lin Mo¡¯s back. If it wasn¡¯t for his powerful physical body, this sword strike would have taken his life. They walked for two hours. They passed through the forest and met quite a few people. Although they traveled together, no one was able to hold on in the end. Only the four of them were left. ¡°Eh, is that Elder Mo from the royal family in front?¡± Lin Mo and the others were shocked. This Elder Mo was also very powerful. He was actually able to break through to this place with some people. Although he was injured, the people behind him were protected very well. ¡°Qianqian.¡± Lin Mo was delighted. It was good news that a friend was alive. ¡°Sigh, fellow Daoist Qin and fellow Daoist Su are here too, I see¡­¡± A voice sounded. At this moment, Lin Mo noticed that there was another familiar face. It was Qi Tao of the Green Sea Palace. He was protected by an elder of the Green Sea Palace and was completely unharmed. However, all the members of the Green Sea Palace had died. Not a single one was left alive. It was too tragic. ¡°What a good method. When we get out, I will definitely report this matter to the emperor and strictly investigate this matter.¡± Elder Mo growled. More than half of his men had died. He would be punished when he returned. Lin Mo and the others were stunned. They asked in surprise, ¡°Elder Mo, what do you mean?¡± ¡°This was a trap. Some people have already obtained the ancient flame, but they did not take all of them. They left some behind to lure us over.¡± He guessed that the blood essence of the dead flowed into the interior because they wanted to nourish something. Perhaps this was the method to open the inheritance. However, this was too cruel. Everyone was shocked by this news. who could have set up such a devious scheme? Needless to say, everyone could guess that it was a trap. It was very terrifying. Perhaps someone wanted to attack the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We can leave from here.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s eyes were deep, and the silver armor on her body was shining. Her face was as cold as ice. Through some special methods, she could see that there was a way out. ¡°Elder Mo, how about joining hands?¡± Su Hanhai and Qin Yu said, planning to go through the path Bai Luo pointed out. ¡°Okay.¡± Elder mo hesitated for a moment, but he did not refuse. In this situation, the chances of survival were higher if they went together. On the way, they met another group of people. It was Kong Xiu from the Peacock Spirit Clan. ¡°The path ahead is blocked. Let¡¯s attack together and break through.¡± Everyone took out their weapons and began to ready their martial arts. A mysterious turtle seal appeared in Elder Mo¡¯s hand, emitting a light green ripple of water. Kong Xiu held a folding fan in his hand. It was made from peacock feathers and was very gorgeous. There was a five-colored divine light on it. ¡­ Everyone began to attack. The seal in front of them was shattered. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Another two people were sucked into the killing formation, turning into fresh blood that flowed into the depths. When everyone charged out, the space behind them was sealed again, and they could no longer see anything. At long last, this trip to the ruins could be considered to have ended. Out of hundreds of thousands of people, less than a hundred had survived. Only a few people knew that they were weak, so they left the ruins early to ensure their survive. The others were all drenched in blood¡­ ¡°The victor is the king. Now, do you know how cruel the world Is?¡± Bai Luo said as he looked at Lin Mo. ¡°There¡¯s no need to persuade me. You¡¯ve said it yourself, how can one¡¯s life be perfect?¡± Lin Mo shook his head and once again rejected Bai Luo¡¯s invitation. ¡°Now, let¡¯s go back and hold an auction to earn spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He wanted to return to Ancient Flame City to hold an auction and then go into seclusion to cultivate¡­ Chapter 269 - Inheritance of the Ancient Flame Sect News of the changes in the Ancient Flame ruins would soon spread. At the same time, Lin Mo had asked Su Hanhai to help deliver the news. The Ancient Flame City¡¯s Lin clan auction house would hold an auction three days later. At that time, a spirit-grade treasure would appear. This news shocked many people. Even the city lord of Ancient Flame City, who was working in the imperial city, had flown tens of thousands of miles for this. Elder Mo and the others also stayed in Fncient Flame City, looking forward to the upcoming auction. Under the sunlight, in a courtyard, Lin Mo, Bai Luo, Lin Die, and Yan Rong stopped in the pavilion. A magic array was set up around the small courtyard. It was a spirit-grade magic array. This was taken out by Bai Luo. It was very mysterious. Once it was set up, even a Nirvana stage powerhouse might not be able to break it. And this was also the reason why Lin Mo dared to hold the auction. This time, it might really draw out a Nirvana stage powerhouse, so he had to be on guard. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this formation is extremely mysterious. Even a Nirvana stage powerhouse would have to pay a hefty price if they wanted to attack.¡± Bai Luo promised. Hearing this, Lin Mo was finally relieved. His consciousness sank into the center of his brows and took out a ball of chaotic symbols. This was the symbol that he had obtained from the Dutian God Slaying Formation. It was suspected to be the inheritance of the entire Ancient Flame Sect. This thing was incredible. Once word got out, it would not be a stretch to say that the entire eastern continent would come and hunt Lin Mo down. ¡°How mysterious. Just by looking at this aura, I¡¯ll be able to comprehend the Dao¡­¡± Yan Rong was shocked as he stared at the symbol. Lin Mo and Bai Luo also stretched out their hands and touched this mysterious symbol. ¡°Oh?¡± Lin Mo was stunned as a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. The symbols at the center began to fluctuate as a symbol flowed out from his palm and entered Lin Mo¡¯s body. These symbols were imprinted deeply in Lin Mo¡¯s heart, as if he was born with them. What made him truly happy was that this symbol had formed a martial art, and could be considered a priceless treasure. ¡°Archaic Incomplete Kun Peng Technique, Kun Peng Wings.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was an incomplete technique, but just the incomplete technique made his head swell, and he nearly fainted. Bai Luo, who was opposite him, also frowned. His palm slightly trembled as he endured the pain. ¡°Bai Luo, what did you obtain?¡± Seeing Bai Luo withdraw his hand, Lin Mo hurriedly asked. ¡°I obtained the Archaic Incomplete Kun Peng Technique, Kun Peng Wings. What about tou?¡± He did not think that the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s ruins would have such a rare treasure. It was too powerful, simply unimaginable. ¡°Archaic Incomplete Vermillion Bird technique, Cloud Piercing Four Spirits.¡± Bai Luo said in shock. Her feeling was the same as Lin Mo¡¯s. This small eastern continent actually had two types of archaic divine beast inheritances. At this moment, Bai Luo could not help but pay attention to it. Some of the ancient inheritances of the eastern continent might have many incredible treasures. However, they were all hidden, or perhaps no one was able to learn them. Moreover, the two of them now understood that these symbols definitely did not only have these two treasures. There were also quite a few more that were hidden. They might even be able to find the incomplete techniques of other divine beasts. ¡°Big Brother, Big Sister Bai Luo, I obtained a ¡®true Phoenix Nirvana technique¡¯.¡± Lin Die also opened her eyes. Her small hands continuously rubbed her temples. Such a large amount of information poured into her, making her unable to endure it. ¡°An incomplete True Ancient Phoenix technique!¡± The two of them were shocked. It was another divine beast¡¯s treasure. The ancient flame sect¡¯s foundation was indeed terrifying. At this moment, Yan Rong also woke up. His body was trembling as he endured unimaginable pressure. ¡°Yan Rong, what did you obtain?¡± Lin Mo hurriedly asked. ¡°This¡­¡± Yan Rong scratched his head in embarrassment as some symbols slowly condensed in his hands. ¡°Quasi-spirit rank martial arts, creation palm¡­¡± He also did not understand why Lin Mo¡¯s was the archaic Kun Peng and Bai Luo¡¯s was the archaic Vermillion Bird. However, even a novice like Lin Die was able to obtain the incomplete technique of the primordial true Phoenix. This caused him to be unable to hang on any longer. ¡°It¡¯s normal. The Dao in your body is pitifully little. There¡¯s no need to be depressed.¡± Bai Luo coughed. Finally, there was a normal one. If even Yan Rong could obtain the inheritance of a primordial divine beast, then these symbols would be incredible. ¡°Then it looks like it depends on one¡¯s talent¡­¡± Yan Rong sighed and once again extended his hand. Since the quality was not good, then he could only gather more of it to compensate. After Lin Mo and the other two obtained the inheritance, they could only digest the symbols, but they could not touch it. They could only comprehend it first. Quasi-spirit rank martial arts were not very difficult for him. Following Lin Mo, he obtained many benefits, and his comprehension ability also increased by quite a bit. Following that, he closed his eyes once more, and symbols began to enter his mind. In less than a minute, he backed away and opened his eyes. ¡°Grade-9 array formation, ten-sided spirit gathering array.¡± Yan Rong nodded. This array formation wasn¡¯t bad, and could be set up in the living quarters. Lin Mo and Bai Luo continued to meditate, and it lasted for a full half an hour. The two of them opened their eyes, extremely satisfied. ¡°Continue.¡± The two of them looked at each other and stretched out their hands once again. Huge runes surged into their bodies, bringing about a huge burden. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, it¡¯s been hard on you. Continue meditating.¡± Bai Luo patted Lin Die¡¯s little head. This kind of opportunity could not be missed. Very quickly, a rune gathered in Lin Mo¡¯s mind and gradually formed an attack rune. ¡°Eh, this thing has such terrifying attack power.¡± At this moment, these runes changed in Lin Mo¡¯s mind and gradually formed a pure white qilin. Its entire body was emitting auspicious light. This time, he had obtained the ancient qilin¡¯s martial art. It was also incomplete, but it was very practical. He could feel that the attack power of this martial art would be incomparably terrifying. ¡°Ancient qilin incomplete technique, Qilin Step.¡± Very quickly, Lin Mo memorized these symbols. His heart was filled with joy, but he had no choice but to let go. The Qilin Step¡¯s symbols were very complicated. When they were poured into his mind, it made his head feel dizzy. If it were not for the fact that his soul power had been tempered in the Dutian God Slaying Formation, he might have fainted. ¡°I obtained the Qilin Step. What about you?¡± Seeing Bai Luo open his eyes, Lin Mo hurriedly asked. ¡°The complete formation diagram of the Dutian God slaying Formation. Damn it, the inheritance of the archaic divine beasts is gone.¡± Bai Luo said unhappily. Within this symbol were only the remnant techniques of the true Phoenix, Kun Peng, Vermillion Bird, and Qilin. Now that it had been taken away by them, the value of this symbol had dropped by at least one level. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s carve the symbol and comprehend it together.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, not hiding anything. He naturally would not hesitate to split it equally with Bai Luo. Very soon, Lin Die also woke up, but she was very dissatisfied because what he obtained was a cultivation technique and could not use it at all. ¡°What? He has a natural cultivation technique, yet he still gave me a cultivation technique¡­¡± Lin Die was very sad. Not only was he injured by this symbol, he even obtained a cultivation technique that was not very useful¡­ ¡°What cultivation technique is it?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°The ancient flame sect¡¯s inherited cultivation technique, ¡®Tai Yu Spirit Nurturing Art¡¯.¡± According to Lin Die¡¯s description, this cultivation technique was very profound. Moreover, every time the spiritual energy circulated for a day, it would allow one¡¯s soul power to increase a little. Chapter 270 - : Spiritual Resonance As for the rank, this cultivation technique could reach earth-grade tier 9, just one step away from spirit-grade. ¡°So high?¡± Lin Mo was extremely shocked. She was already at earth-grade tier 9, yet this little girl still dared to look down on her¡­ ¡°It¡¯s just earth-rank tier 9, so it¡¯s just so-so.¡± Bai Luo nodded. Strictly speaking, the incomplete technique they had obtained had only just entered the spirit-grade. After all, it was an incomplete technique. It was already considered pretty good to have such a rank. ¡°I¡¯ve already tried. With our strength, it will basically take us a hundred years to inscribe a spirit-grade martial art¡­¡± Bai Luo said. Right now, they were faced with a problem. They could not share the martial arts that they had obtained with each other. This was truly unbearable. Bai Luo was drooling over Lin Mo¡¯s Qilin steps. This was a great killing move. The complete Qilin technique required a total of nine steps to use the Qilin steps. Each step would erupt with incomparable power. And Lin Mo had only obtained four steps. Even so, it was enough for it to be a spirit-grade martial art. Moreover, this was a martial art from a divine beast. If he could collect the complete one, he would be able to dominate a region.. ¡°There¡¯s another method, telepathic resonance¡­¡± Lin Die suddenly spoke up. This was the only other method other than meditation. However, during the period of telepathic resonance, if anyone were to harbor any malicious thoughts, the result would be devastating. It could be said that even though one¡¯s thoughts were able to comprehend Dao arts together with the other party, the danger was staggering. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo fell into silence. Hearing those words, Yan Rong was at a loss for words as well. He was still happily accepting the inheritance runes. He had already obtained two spirit-grade martial arts, so he had gained a lot. ¡°Big brother, Big Sister Bai Luo, why aren¡¯t the two of you saying anything? Let¡¯s quickly resonate with our spiritual sense,¡± Lin Die said with a naive look on her face. She did not understand why the two of them had suddenly stopped talking. They had just said very amicably that they wanted to give what they had obtained to the other party to comprehend as well¡­ At the very least, she could not wait any longer. She was the first to release her divine senses, waiting for Lin Mo and Bai Luo. ¡°¡­¡± The two of them remained silent. Being urged by Lin Die, they felt a little awkward. ¡°We¡¯re friends, right?¡± After a long while, Lin Mo was the first to speak. Bai Luo¡¯s identity was mysterious. She came from another continent and had a terrifying background. Naturally, Lin Mo did not dare to do anything to her. He was not stupid. Bai Luo definitely had some kind of restriction on her. If something happened to her, her elders would definitely know about it. This was also the reason why he hesitated. If he even touched Bai Luo, he would definitely be hunted down. In fact, the entire Eastern Continent might even be destroyed because of this. However, if Bai Luo made a move against him, he would be fine. It was just to make Lin die hate her. There were many ways to control a rare innate beast. This was nothing at all. Even if Jiang Xiyue wanted to take revenge, she would probably be powerless¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t let you down¡­¡± Bai Luo was silent for a moment before she said. She was also taking a risk. After knowing Lin Mo for so long, she was willing to believe in Lin Mo¡¯s character. ¡°I¡¯ll go out and protect you guys.¡± Yan Rong was very tactful. After seeing Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s plans, he temporarily gave up on the inheritance and withdrew from the formation. The spirit-grade martial arts that he had obtained were easily obtained by Lin Mo and the others. f he followed Lin Mo, when his strength reached a certain level, he would definitely have a lot of spirit-grade martial arts¡­ After Yan Rong left, Lin Die¡¯s mind was full of questions. He did not understand why the two of them, who had always been on good terms with each other, were suddenly suspicious of each other. ¡°Come, let¡¯s resonate with our divine thoughts. Let¡¯s meditate together.¡± Bai Luo smiled and released her divine thoughts. She was the first to connect with Lin Die. At first, the two divine thoughts were lightly repelled, but soon, they fused together. ¡°Big brother, come quickly. Let¡¯s cultivate together.¡± Lin Die smiled innocently. His smile was very cute. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo no longer hesitated and released his divine thoughts. The three of them fused their divine thoughts together. At this moment, they knew exactly what the other party was thinking. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo cast aside his distracting thoughts and began to comprehend the ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits.¡± in Bai Luo¡¯s memories. This was the Vermillion Bird¡¯s martial art. With the Vermillion Bird divine flame covering his entire body, he launched four consecutive attacks, each of which was enough to rip the sky and split the earth. Just as he started to comprehend, Lin Mo was already deeply immersed in it, entering a state of selflessness. Seeing this, Bai Luo¡¯s gaze towards Lin Mo gradually softened, and she let down the last guard in her heart. She started to comprehend the Qilin Steps in Lin Mo¡¯s divine thoughts, feeling the profoundness within. As for Lin Die, she had already started to comprehend the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits when she was in contact with Bai Luo. Whether it was Lin Mo, Bai Luo, or even Yan Rong, she was at ease. This was because Yan Rong had been teaching her to cultivate from the very beginning. As for Bai Luo, he had taken care of her meticulously in the secret realm and won her trust. They fell into silence. The symbols between the three people¡¯s brows were unceasing, and occasionally, Dao would appear. They had gained a lot, and smiles appeared on their faces. Spiritual resonance. The benefits of this type of cultivation method could be seen. Lin Mo and the others had obtained a very complete inheritance. Moreover, Lin Mo and Bai Luo had also exchanged the Dao principles they had comprehended and integrated them into their own cultivation techniques. The two of them had gained a lot. As for Lin Die, because she had a natural cultivation technique, she was unable to participate in it, so she felt a little regretful. Three days passed by in a flash. A jade talisman flickered, and Yan Rong was transmitting the news from outside. Today was the day of the auction. Although Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing could also host the auction. However, this auction was not simple. Duanmu Jia could handle it when it came to purchasing treasures. However, if the auction were to start, Lin Mo would still be needed. In fact, this was also the reason why Yan Rong sent the message. First Elder Duanmu Jia, Elder Mo of the Imperial Family, a supreme elder of the peacock spirit clan, and the members of the imperial family of Great Yan Divine Empire. All of these parties had Nirvana realm experts among them. That¡¯s right. After coming out of the mystic realm, Elder Mo of the imperial family had already reached the Nirvana realm after meditating and cultivating. Although the final Dutian God Slaying Formation was a trap, the bait was still real. Elder Mo had meditated for such a long time, so he definitely obtained a lot of benefits. After walking out of the spirit-grade formation, the three of them wore smiles on their faces. The benefits they obtained this time were too great. Moreover, during this period of time, Yan Rong had also written down all the inheritances, formations, pill formulas, and so on. These could all be auctioned. The only thing that made Lin Mo feel regretful was that the incomplete techniques of the archaic divine beasts could not be sold. He could not write the incomplete techniques. These symbols were too mysterious. Moreover, if they were really sold, the entire eastern continent would probably fall into madness. People from other continents would also come over, stirring up a bloody storm here. ¡°Master, you¡¯ve finally come out¡­¡± Yan Rong heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Mo and Bai Luo were fine. This was the best result. ¡°The auction has already started. Duanmu Jia is holding it now. Hurry up and go.¡± Yan Rong hurriedly said, urging Lin Mo to go over. Chapter 271 - Snatching The Auction Items In the Lin auction house, the hall was filled with people. There were even some people who could only stand at the back because they did not have seats. It was obvious how many people had come to the auction this time. ¡°Master, when you guys went to the Ancient Flame Ruins, Duanmu Jia and I asked someone to expand the auction house.¡± Miao Qing came forward to report the situation. Lin Mo had gone into closed-door cultivation as soon as he came back, and there were many things that he had yet to report. However, even if he had expanded the auction house, it still did not seem to be of much use. There were too many people coming. Even the people from Great Yan Divine Empire were led by Nirvana realm experts to participate in the auction. On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia was presiding over the auction. The treasures he sold were all at least level eight. However, there were some discordant voices below the stage. This was because Duanmu Jia¡¯s strength was pitifully weak and there was simply no way for her to convince everyone. Some people even held onto the hilt of their sabers. This was because, from their observations, it seemed that there were only two people presiding over the Lin auction house. As for these two people, their cultivation realms could be ignored and they were nothing at all. ¡°I say, were we fooled? These two people haven¡¯t even reached the Dragon Transformation Realm. Are they qualified to host this auction?¡± Someone immediately opened his mouth and interrupted Duanmu Jia, who was introducing the auction items. ¡°Sir, please have some self-respect and don¡¯t disturb the peace.¡± Duanmu Jia frowned. She was very anxious. Why was the owner not out of seclusion yet? There were only her and Miao Qing in the auction house. It was very difficult to host it¡­ At this moment, she looked towards the VIP room of the Su family not far away. If the ancestor of the Su family could say a few words, it should be able to intimidate them. However, just as she looked over, the VIP room on the left exploded in arguments. ¡°Humph, what a joke. Why should our Primordial Sun Holy Land obey your rules?¡± An old man said coldly. The young disciples behind him also laughed and ridiculed him. ¡°That¡¯s right. A little girl who isn¡¯t even at the Dragon Transformation Realm wants to host an auction?¡± While laughing, the disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land went up to the stage directly, intending to take away the auction items that were being displayed. ¡°You¡­¡± Duanmu Jia wanted to go up and stop them, but was restrained by an incomparably powerful pressure. ¡°Hehe, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame that useless master of yours for offending the Primordial Sun Holy Land and not daring to show himself.¡± The disciple on the stage sneered. When he saw the restrained Duanmu girl, evil thoughts arose in his mind. He slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Duanmu Jia¡¯s slightly plump chest. ¡°How dare you¡­¡± Duanmu Jia was so angry that she wanted to resist, but he could not move at all. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± The disciple of the origin Sun Holy Land Laughed Lewdly. Everyone below was watching the show. No one was willing to help, including the Su family. The VIP room they were in was silent. Just as Duanmu Jia was in despair, a cold voice was heard. ¡°Primordial Sun Holy Land, are you even qualified to be called a Holy Land?¡± A breeze blew, and Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in front of Duanmu Jia. His fingers were like swords as he pointed at the disciple. Fresh blood instantly gushed out, and in the next moment, the disciple¡¯s body fell to the ground without any movement. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s finger did not lose any of its remaining power as it pointed toward the other disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. In these few days, Lin Mo had used quite a number of natural treasures and even borrowed over a dozen high-grade spirit stones from Bai Luo. When he came out of seclusion, he also successfully raised the origin spirit puppet to the Tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, it was different from ordinary puppets. It was able to display its spirit energy and devour so many spirit stones. The energy within its Dantian was extremely dense. At this moment, the spirit puppet appeared in front of the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land and blocked it. The three people who had just spoken mockingly were all struck by the sword finger. Very quickly, three heads flew up. The strength of these three disciples was great, and they were at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, they did not have any resistance against Lin Mo¡¯s attacks at this moment. The sword fingers dissipated, and only two of the Primordial Sun Holy Land disciples were left. Since they had not mocked him previously, they were able to survive. ¡°Junior, you¡¯re courting death.¡± The Primordial Sun Holy Land Elder roared angrily, and spiritual energy erupted from his entire body. However, his attacks were all blocked by the spirit puppet without exception. Although the puppet was on the verge of collapsing, this elder was unable to do anything in this short period of time. ¡°Do you still want to fight?¡± Lin Mo slowly walked out, and the Absolute Snow Sword appeared, pointing at the remaining two disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. These two people had long been scared out of their wits, and did not even have any thoughts of escaping. ¡°Fellow Daoists, are you going to watch this child be arrogant today?¡± The elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land shouted. He looked around and said to the peacock spirit clan. ¡°Fellow Daoist Kong Xiu, Lin Mo is here. Don¡¯t you want to take revenge?¡± He reminded. Among Kong Xiu¡¯s sons, the most talented one was Kong Xuan. Being killed by Lin Mo, they had plenty of bad blood. ¡°I¡¯ll take revenge if I want to.¡± Kong Xiu said, causing the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land to feel a chill in their hearts. His son was killed. Was he not going to take revenge? ¡°Bastard, if that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± The elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land said angrily, and spiritual energy erupted. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not show any mercy and killed two disciples of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. At the same time, in the VIP room where the Su clan was located, a figure was pushed back and flew out. The weak walls collapsed, revealing the scene inside. In the room, there was only Su Hanhai alone, and the person who was sent flying was another old man, causing everyone to be greatly shocked. ¡°Third elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land, no wonder he was able to stop Su Hanhai¡­¡± Someone said in a low voice. The Profound Azure Holy Land and the Primordial Sun Holy Land had always been on good terms. For the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land to dare to act in such a manner could only mean that they had help. At this moment, many people felt a little regretful. If they had known earlier, they would have joined in. After killing Lin Mo, they would have been able to get a share of the spoils¡­ Now, the situation was set. Lin Mo¡¯s puppet was unable to stop the elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. It would be destroyed very soon. As for Su Hanhai, he could not escape, and Lin Mo¡¯s life had to end at this moment. Even if he was a genius, he was only at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Facing a tier 31, other than being crushed, there was no other outcome. ¡°This auction of yours is really full of twists and turns¡­¡± Bai Luo walked up with a bright silver spear in her hand, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Mo. At this moment, she was the only one who could help Lin Mo. However, before she made her move, Lil¡¯ Die and Yan Rong were put into the jade bottle by her. If they could not win, they could still run away. The two of them had Kun Peng Wings and Qilin steps. Even Nirvana stage warriors could not catch up with them¡­ ¡°Interfering with the auction, I think you¡¯re courting death¡­¡± At this moment, before Lin Mo and Bai Luo could make their move, an old voice sounded. At some point in time, a person wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared on the auction stage. Boundless killing intent spread out. It was an old man with a powerful aura. The moment he appeared, everyone present was shocked. Including Elder Mo, the great elder of Duanmu clan, the Nirvana realm experts of Great Yan Divine Empire and Peacock Spirit Clan. They could sense an extremely terrifying aura coming from this old man¡­ ¡°Nirvana realm, at least third heaven¡­¡± Chapter 272 - The Beginning of the Ancient Incomplete Technique The sudden appearance of a Nirvana stage powerhouse stunned everyone present. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect that there was actually a Nirvana stage powerhouse standing behind Lin Mo.. Moreover, this was definitely not someone who had just broken through. He was too powerful. ¡°Elder Luo?¡± Lin Mo was also stunned. This was a Nirvana stage powerhouse. He did not have the face to ask others to help him. The only explanation was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s people, which was Luo Haoyu from last time. ¡°Stop talking. Leave it to me.¡± Luo Haoyu nodded and said in a low voice. Under the bamboo hat, his eyes flickered with killing intent. ¡°How could it be¡­¡± The two elders of the Primordial Sun Holy Land and the Profound Azure Holy Land were shocked. They did not expect Lin Mo to have a nirvana stage cultivator standing behind him. Suddenly, the elders of the primordial Sun Holy Land who were still fighting with the puppet turned around and fled after repelling the puppet with one palm. Although he was about to break through to the Nirvana stage, he was still uncertain when facing a real nirvana stage cultivator. 1 ¡°Can you escape?¡± Luo Haoyu snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike. The space rippled and everyone was shocked. They felt a terrifying power spreading. That elder had just escaped to the outer area of the auction. His body froze and exploded in the next moment. His flesh and blood stopped in mid-air and was swallowed the next moment. Such a phenomenon was enough to prove how powerless a Dragon Transformation Stage warrior was when facing a Nirvana stage warrior. ¡°An opportunity.¡± At the same time that Luo Haoyu made his move, the elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land found the right opportunity to grab Lin Mo with a pair of shriveled palms. He had already seen that this Nirvana stage warrior was Lin Mo¡¯s backer. If he could control Lin Mo, then he would still have a way to survive today. However, a strange scene happened. Looking at the elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land who was rushing over, Lin Mo was not flustered at all. A pair of wings spread out from his back, and flames spread out from above. With a light flap, his figure disappeared. Bai Luo did the same. A pair of wings spread out, but they were bright silver in color. The runes above them were very obscure, making it difficult to understand. The two of them moved very quickly, evading the attack as if they had teleported. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s footsteps moved rhythmically, and a pattern gradually appeared on his back. However, all of this was concealed by Lin Mo¡¯s Flame Dao, and was not exposed. On Bai Luo¡¯s side, waves of birdsong could be heard. Similarly, the Dao had concealed his true symbols. In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Mo and Bai Luo had only displayed ordinary martial arts. However, only Yan Rong and Lin Die, who were watching from the side, knew that Lin Mo and Bai Luo had Kun Peng wings on their backs. They had displayed Qilin Steps and Cloud Piercing Four Spirits respectively. A terrifying power spread out as Lin Mo and Bai Luo launched their counterattacks. Before the elder from the Profound Azure Holy Land could react, the two of them had already used the Kun Peng Wings to get close to them. The Kirin steps took four steps forward, and the final kick landed on the opponent¡¯s chest. Bai Luo formed a hand seal. After getting close to them, the hand seals in his hands revolved, forming a Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame instantly erupted. The two great killing moves struck, and the powerful offensive power also forced Lin Mo and Bai Luo back, blood seeping out from the corners of their mouths. Using such a powerful move, one could imagine how much energy they had used up. However, the effect was also very obvious. The elder of the Profoudn Azure Holy Land was filled with smoke and dust from the explosion. If it wasn¡¯t for Luo Haoyu, the entire auction house would have been blown up. The entire crowd was shocked, unable to speak. In the eyes of everyone, the elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land was in a sorry state, half kneeling on the ground. The terrifying moves of Lin Mo and Bai Luo were too powerful. If it were not for the fact that their realms were too low and the amount of spiritual energy they could use was limited, this attack might have killed him. ¡°This is¡­ Too ridiculous.¡± Someone said in shock. What realm was Lin Mo at? He was at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, while Bai Luo was at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Under their joint attack, they actually injured a tier 31 use of the Dragon Transformation Realm. What kind of move did they use? Could it be a spirit-grade tier 9 move? The auction house was in a heated discussion. Just a second ago, they were still discussing Luo Haoyu, the Nirvana realm warrior who had suddenly appeared. Now, they were all talking about Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s combat strength that had skyrocketed. Although the two of them had disguised themselves, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the wings on their backs were the same type of martial arts. Furthermore, the killing move that they had just displayed was definitely hidden as well. This made people even more curious. No matter how they hid this kind of power, they would be able to tell that it was not anything ordinary. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± The elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land muttered to himself as he looked at Lin Mo and Bai Luo in disbelief. He did not dare to imagine that he would actually be injured by two juniors. Even though it was only a superficial injury, his realm was clearly higher. How could he be injured¡­ ¡°If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being strong enough.¡± Luo Haoyu said coldly. The elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land wanted to say something but was killed by Luo Haoyu, ending his life. At this point, those who caused trouble at the auction all died. Luo Haoyu¡¯s figure disappeared, but the overwhelming pressure he left behind told everyone not to cause more trouble. Moreover, no one dared to cause trouble. The strength that Lin Mo and Bai Luo had displayed had already shocked them. Putting everything else aside, the combined strength of these two people and the primordial soul puppet was equivalent to a tier 30 user of the Dragon Transformation Realm. No one dared to look down on such a terrifying strength¡­ ¡°Master.¡± Duanmu Jia walked to Lin Mo and bowed. He was finally relieved. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you, leave it to me¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled, and Duanmu Jia passed the auction list to Lin Mo. Seeing the dazzling array of treasures on it, Lin Mo was overjoyed. At least half of the treasures in the Ancient Flame Ruins had been brought out, and some people could not enter the Dragon Transformation Realm, so they left after looting some treasures. Many treasures had been brought out, and now that they heard that Lin Mo was going to hold an auction, there were people from the royal family participating. These people also brought their treasures over. Most of them were cultivation techniques and martial arts. Since they had already learned them, they naturally did not want to cause any trouble, so they might as well sell them. ¡°Hehe. The following auction will be held by me personally.¡± Lin Mo smiled at everyone and told them to take their seats. As for the destroyed VIP room, Miao Qing quickly sent people to clean it up. The corpses of a few disciples from the Yuan Yang Holy Land were also carried out. ¡°Alright, next is a book of fist techniques and martial arts.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he introduced. A maid carried a silver plate and walked up, placing it in front of Lin Mo. Lin Mo lifted the red cloth on the silver plate. There was a jade talisman lying quietly inside. There were some cracks in it, but the spiritual energy was intact. ¡°There is a book of martial arts recorded in this jade talisman. Looking at the extent of the damage, one should be able to view it once more.¡± It was obvious that the jade talisman had been brought out from the ancient flame ruins. The seller had first seen it once before showing it to his friends and relatives. Only when there was only one more time left did he take it out to be auctioned. ¡°Half-step ninth rank, wind killing fist. The starting bid is 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50 spirit stones.¡± Half-step ninth rank. If this was in the past, it could be considered as the final item in the auction. Chapter 273 - The Gathering of All Parties Now, the Duanmu family had arranged for it to be placed at the front. From this, it could be seen just how many treasures had been purchased. The Wind Killing Fist was also very attractive. Lin Mo had just finished speaking when the bidding voices for this batch of items were heard. The auction instantly became lively. Quite a number of people were bidding, and they had already forgotten about the unhappiness that had just occurred. Hearing the shouts around him, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. When he raised his head, he realized that Bai Luo was dressed in a black robe. He had no idea when she had been sitting in the main hall. As the two of them had cultivated spiritual resonance, they were extremely sensitive to the other party¡¯s soul power and aura. Thus, they were the first to notice it. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s a treasure that she likes¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. After using spiritual resonance, since there was an auction item that Bai Luo liked, he naturally would not mind selling it to her. 1 The Wind Killing Fist was very attractive, and in the blink of an eye, it was raised to the price of 2,500 middle-grade spirit stones. Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. After three strikes, the Wind Killing Fist was bought by a middle-aged man in the hall. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the half-step rank 9 fist technique, Wind Killing Fist ] [ Triggered 3,000 times the auction profit ] [ Acquired rank 9 middle-grade fist technique, Wind Raging Dragon Fist ] After triggering the auction rebate, Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand. The maid once again walked up with a silver plate in her hands. ¡°Everyone, this next martial art is a little unorthodox. However, its power is still pretty good.¡± Lin Mo introduced it. He lifted up the red cloth on the silver plate and a scroll that was as red as blood appeared in front of everyone. They heard that Yan Rong had obtained this from the inheritance runes. However, the requirements to cultivate it were extremely harsh. He felt that it was a waste of time, so he wrote down the cultivation method. ¡°The martial art of needlework. I have to say that this is a very obscure martial art. However, its level isn¡¯t low, and it has already reached quasi-spirit-grade.¡± ¡°This is something that I brought out from the Ancient Flame Ruins. Needlework isn¡¯t suitable for me, so I¡¯m auctioning it off.¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, the people at the front immediately became interested. Most of them had their own factions. Although they did not know how to learn needlework, it was possible that the younger generation of their families would be interested. Thus, right after Lin Mo finished his introduction, someone impatiently asked Lin Mo to make a bid. ¡°Even though this fire cloud needlework is only quasi-spirit-grade, its might isn¡¯t any weaker than that of a low-grade spirit rank.¡± ¡°Once it¡¯s fully refined, its might will be extremely considerable.¡± ¡°The starting bid is 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo spoke, and the price of 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones caused these people to suck in a breath of cold air. Even though they all had their own powers and wealth, 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones was still quite a pressure. ¡°5,100 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Even though some of them were hesitant, there were still people who placed their bids, wanting to compete for this martial art. ¡°5,200 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°5,300.¡± ¡°5,400.¡± The bids rose one after another, and very quickly, the price was raised to 6,000 mid-grade spirit stones. ¡°The needle technique martial arts is a little unorthodox, but there¡¯s no doubt that it¡¯s powerful. Our Peacock Spirit Clan will bid 6,500 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The bid from the Peacock Spirit Clan immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The person who spoke was Kong Xiu, the leader of the Peacock Spirit Clan. He was once a genius, but due to his injuries, he stopped at the Nirvana stage. ¡°It¡¯s Kong Xiu¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This elder had come as well. Lin Mo was still very concerned about the powerful existence who had turned hostility into friendship with him. Moreover, if he could obtain the help of the Peacock Spirit clan, Lin Mo¡¯s strength in the Yanhuang Divine Empire would also increase greatly. This way, he would be of even greater help to Jiang Xiyue. ¡°I heard that he has injuries¡­¡±Lin Mo muttered to himself as he recalled what Su Hanhai had said before. Because Kong Xiu had injured his foundation, it resulted in him being unable to advance to the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm for the rest of his life. If he could obtain some precious spirit pills that could repair his foundation, it might be of some help to him. ¡°Hehe, fellow Daoist Kong Xiu is a man, so don¡¯t fight with me over it. Let me obtain this needle technique martial art.¡± ¡°6,700 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Another voice sounded, it was another familiar person. Elder Qin Yu of the Purple Clouds Holy Land was also a powerful being at the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°Could it be that this senior practices needle techniques?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. ¡°So it¡¯s elder Qin Yu of the Purple Clouds Holy Land.¡± Kong Xiu smiled, and the two of them chatted across the two VIP rooms. Kong Xiu hesitated for a moment before deciding to give up. After all, he had bid to increase the collection of the Peacock Spirit clan. There was no need to offend anyone. ¡°Since no one is bidding, I shall announce that senior Qin Yu will be the one to¡­¡± Lin Mo raised the auction hammer and was about to drop it. ¡°Wait.¡± Before he could finish speaking, a discordant voice was heard, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°This voice is the Mu family¡¯s ancestor, Mu Ming.¡± ¡°Another ruthless person.¡± Everyone gasped in surprise. Then, Mu Ming slowly said, ¡°I have a friend who seems to be learning needlework. Fellow Daoist Qin Yu, please part with him.¡± ¡°Oh, who is worthy of fellow Daoist Mu Ming¡¯s bid? Don¡¯t you know his name?¡± Qin Yu coldly said. ¡°That person doesn¡¯t like to be famous, so there¡¯s no need to mention this name,¡± Mu Ming said indifferently. Then, he increased the price. ¡°7,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± When the Mu family made their move, Elder Qin Yu snorted coldly on the Purple Cloud Holy Land¡¯s side. He was very dissatisfied. ¡°Elder, we haven¡¯t gotten in touch with the eighth prince yet. Although the Mu family is inferior to us, we can¡¯t offend¡­¡± A purple-clothed woman spoke up to dissuade Qin Yu. The Mu family had the fourth prince backing them. Previously, the Purple Cloud Holy Land had wanted to join the eighth prince, but they had been rejected. On the contrary, the enemy¡¯s Qinghuai Holy Land had attracted the attention of the eighth prince. This was not a good thing for them. Although they had cooperated with Lin Mo in the ruins, the eighth prince was the one who had truly decided. If he did not speak, so what if he had a good relationship with Lin Mo? ¡°Qin Yu?¡± At this moment, a black figure appeared in the VIP room of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. He wore a bamboo hat and carried a knife on his waist. ¡°Master, what are you doing here?¡±An old voice sounded, and even Qin Yu was shocked. ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ Master, what can I do for You?¡± Qin Yu did not dare to be negligent and recognized this person¡¯s identity. There was no way she could not recognize him. Who else could come before her without her noticing other than the Nirvana realm person who had just appeared? ¡°Lin Mo asked me to deliver a message. He has a spirit-grade needle technique martial art to be auctioned and two spirit-grade needle weapons. He will sell the low-grade ones first.¡± After Luo Haoyu said that, his figure disappeared, as if he had never been here. ¡°This is sent by Lin Mo?¡± The woman who had just persuaded Qin Yu was shocked. To be able to get a Nirvana stage powerhouse to deliver a message, what exactly was Lin Mo¡¯s identity by the eighth Prince¡¯s side? ¡°Forget it. Since Lin Mo has already said so, if you are still hesitating, you can only be destroyed.¡± Qin Yu clenched her teeth and made a decision. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry. I don¡¯t want to give up this needle technique.¡± ¡°7,500 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Chapter 274 - I’ll Be In A Pit Later ¡°What did you say?¡± Mu Ming was stunned. He did not understand where the Purple Cloud Holy Land gotten the guts to say such things. This Qin Yu was only an elder of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. could he really represent the Purple Cloud Holy Land? ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s just that the things that I, Qin Yu, like aren¡¯t what any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get their hands on.¡± Qin Yu said indifferently. His words made the Mu family¡¯s people jump in anger. This was a blatant insult. They simply looked down on the Mu family. ¡°Qin Yu, do you know who I¡¯m going to give this martial art to when I bid for it?¡± Mu Ming said angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is. If you want it, you can bid for it.¡± Qin Yu said indifferently. ¡°Cough, cough. Fellow Daoist of the Mu family, don¡¯t interfere with the auction. If you want it, you can participate in the auction.¡±Lin Mo stood on the stage and said indifferently. ¡®A junior like you calling me a fellow Daoist?¡¯ Mu Ming was furious in his heart, but he did not dare to flare up. ¡°7,000 middle-grade spirit stones going once.¡± Lin Mo did not pay attention to him and said indifferently. The hammer of the auction fell for the first time. ¡°Wait, I bid 7,500 Spirit Stones.¡±Mu Ming said, not daring to give up on this scroll of martial arts. ¡°Alright, senior Mu Ming bids 7,500 middle-grade spirit stones. Senior Qin Yu, are you still willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He was not provoking Mu Ming. After all, he still planned to scam him of a sum of spirit stones. It would not be a loss to address him as senior. ¡°I¡¯m also slightly interested in this martial art. 8,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo, who was dressed in a black robe, opened his mouth in the hall. His voice was low, and no one could tell if he was a man or a woman. ¡°8,500 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Qin Yu bid once again, and behind Bai Luo, he raised the price by another 500. This price had already surpassed the value of the fire cloud acupuncture technique. Normally, it would be considered good if this unpopular martial art could be sold for 6,500 middle-grade spirit stones. Now that Qin Yu and Bai Luo had interfered, the price had already reached 8,000. ¡°Are these people crazy¡­¡± Everyone in the hall was stunned. It was hard to imagine that an unpopular martial art could be fought over this viciously. ¡®Humph, there¡¯s really someone who dares to make a bid?¡¯ Mu Ming was furious. He was very dissatisfied with Bai Luo¡¯s appearance. ¡°What, is the auction house run by your family?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a poor wretch, don¡¯t bid. You only know how to talk. It¡¯s embarrassing¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s tongue was very sharp. The moment he opened his mouth, his hatred was raised to the maximum. The surrounding people did not know what to say. This mysterious black-robed man was too awesome. Could it be that he did not know that Mu Ming was a top-tier powerhouse? After going through the ruins, he was only one step away from stepping into the Nirvana stage. Moreover, the Mu family had the fourth prince behind them. This time, Mu Ming received an order to help the fourth prince collect as many martial arts and weapons as possible. Qin Yu and this mysterious person dared to offend the fourth Prince¡¯s people like this. Could it be that they had some confidence? ¡°Hmph, 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones,¡± Mu Ming said angrily. He had already thrown caution to the wind. The fourth prince had given him sufficient funds, enough for him to crush these two people to death. ¡°11,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°12,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Bai Luo and Qin Yu¡¯s indifferent voices rang out. They did not hesitate to raise the price. ¡°13,000 mid-grade spirit stones¡­¡± Mu Ming was so angered by these two people that he had lost his mind. He had even shouted out 13,000 mid-grade spirit stones, scaring the crowd silly. On the stage, Lin Mo held back his laughter. He was very satisfied with this result. Originally, he had only asked Qin Yu to Scam Mu Ming. It was already good enough for him to raise the price to 8,000 to 9,000. Who would have thought that the intelligent Bai Luo would be able to see through Lin Mo¡¯s plan and actually stir up the situation, causing Mu Ming to be so arrogant. ¡°Raise the price. Weren¡¯t you guys very arrogant just now?¡± Mu Ming said coldly. Even though that was the case, he already understood what had happened. The Fire Cloud Needle technique that was originally worth around 6,000. Now that he had spent more than twice the price to buy it, this transaction was already a complete loss. ¡°Hehe, forget it. Brother Mu wants to compete with me at such a high price. It can be seen that you are determined to purchase the martial art.¡± ¡°If I were to compete, it would be a little too much,¡± Qin Yu said indifferently and gave up on the auction this time. ¡°I¡¯ll give up too. The increase in price is so fierce. I admit defeat.¡± Bai Luo sat back down and did not participate in the bidding. ¡°You people¡­¡± Although he had won, Mu Ming was not happy at all. He even felt a breath of air in his chest being blocked. He felt very sullen. ¡°Haha, congratulations to Senior Mu Ming for successfully bidding for the ¡®Fire Cloud Needle Technique¡¯.¡± Lin Mo laughed and dropped his hammer three times to announce Mu Ming¡¯s victory. Immediately, mocking laughter could be heard from the surroundings. It was only at this moment that they realized that Qin Yu and that mysterious person did not want any martial arts at all. The two of them joined forces to raise the price, causing Mu Ming to fall into the trap. After dropping the hammer, the system notification sounded, causing Lin Mo to be delighted. [ Congratulations to hthe ost for successfully auctioning the quasi-spirit-grade needle technique, fire cloud needle technique ] [ Triggered 6,000 times auction return ] [ Obtained spirit rank 2 needle technique, Heavenly Yin Ghost Needle ] To the current Lin Mo, a spirit rank 2 weapon was nothing precious, not to mention that he did not even practice needle techniques. 1 ¡°Alright, since this item has been auctioned off so smoothly, let¡¯s go for the next one, a spirit-grade weapon.¡± Lin Mo smiled, he could not let the surrounding crowd become spectators. He wanted them to participate in it. ¡°Spirit-grade tier 1 weapon, Star Shattering Hammer. ¡°This isn¡¯t an unpopular weapon. Furthermore, there¡¯s a spirit rank 1 cultivation technique and a matching hammer cultivation technique engraved on the star shattering hammer. ¡°I don¡¯t need to explain how precious it is.¡± ¡°The starting price is 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo placed the gavel down, and in the next instant, the crowd erupted. A complete spirit-grade weapon, as well as a matching cultivation technique and martial technique. The attraction of this item was definitely strong enough. Even the starting bid of 50,000 was a little low. ¡°60,000.¡± As expected, the first bid was raised by 10,000, causing some of the eager people to fall to the bottom. Only then did they realize that this was a true spirit-grade treasure. Only the VIP seats at the very front could participate in the bidding. ¡°As expected of senior Mu Ming. The bid of sixty thousand is indeed bold.¡± Lin Mo smiled. It seemed that the fourth prince had sent someone to Ancient Flame City. He had brought so many spirit stones to the Mu family. It seemed that he had to extort some more to replace his losses¡­ ¡°Seventy thousand. I won¡¯t give it up.¡± Kong Xiu¡¯s voice sounded from the Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s side. He raised the bid by another ten thousand. He was determined to obtain the shattered star hammer. It wasn¡¯t just him. Qin Yu and even the Su family were all bidding. They did not give in at all as they crazily increased the price. In the blink of an eye, the Star Shattering Hammer was raised to a high price of 130,000. Even so, only Qin Yu had given up. Kong Xiu, Su Hanhai, and Mu Ming were still bidding. ¡°Do you want me to stir up some trouble? Let¡¯s see how much they all want it¡­¡± At this moment, Bai Luo¡¯s voice rang out beside Lin Mo¡¯s ears. Under her cloak, her face was filled with excitement. She was very good at scamming people. As long as Lin Mo nodded his head, she would definitely make the person who took the photo bleed out. Hearing this, Lin Mo hurriedly shook his head and transmitted his voice over. ¡°It¡¯s too obvious. We¡¯ll scam them later¡­¡± Chapter 275 - Another Set Bai Luo had deliberately messed up and failed to win the bid. Anyone could see that he wanted to mess with Mu Ming. Now that the full set Shattered Star Hammer had appeared, the crowd was in a frenzy. No one was discussing Bai Luo¡¯s matter. The scene was still in a frenzy. However, after a few rounds of bidding, only the Mu family and the Peacock Spirit Clan were left in the competition. ¡°One hundred and fifty thousand!¡± Kong Xiu increased the bid again, suppressing Mu Ming. With spirit-grade cultivation techniques and martial techniques, as well as a weapon, one hundred and fifty thousand was more or less enough. However, it seemed that Mu Ming still did not intend to give up. ¡°One hundred and seventy thousand!¡± Suddenly, a bright and clear voice rang out, raising the bid by twenty thousand at one go, scaring the crowd silly. ¡°Oh my god, someone has joined the bidding again.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the people from Great Yan Divine Empire. They are also bidding.¡± The crowd was engaged in a heated discussion. Even Lin Mo, who was standing on the stage, was shocked. Looking at this, Lin Mo turned to look at the other side. It was elder Mo from the imperial clan. He wondered if he would be willing to make a bid. ¡°One hundred and eighty thousand.¡± Sure enough, after Lin Mo looked over, Elder Mo¡¯s voice rang out. One hundred and eighty thousand was already the highest bid for the complete set of a Star Shattering Hammer. If he continued to increase the bid, it would not bring much benefit to Lin Mo. After all, this was an auction sent by someone else, and he could only take ten percent of the profit. ¡°Two hundred thousand.¡± The people from Great Yan Divine Empire raised the bid again, throwing in another twenty thousand. Such a grand gesture was truly shocking. ¡°Hehe, as the saying goes, a visitor is a guest. Since the friends from Great Yan Divine Emire like it, then I will not compete with them.¡± Old Mo¡¯s voice came from behind, announcing that he had given up. ¡°The Great Yan Divine Empire has offered two hundred thousand mid-grade energy stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and asked. ¡°Two hundred thousand going once.¡± ¡°Two hundred thousand going twice.¡± ¡°Two hundred thousand going three times. Deal.¡± Both Mu Ming and Kong Xiu were silent at the same time. They did not bid again. After Lin Mo had shouted three times, he announced that Great Yan Divine Empire had won. ¡°Congratulations to the friend of Great Yan dynasty for winning the Star Shattering Hammer set.¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked his maid to take the hammer away. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the tier 1 spirit-grade weapon, the Star Shattering Hammer, as well as the accompanying cultivation technique and martial arts ] [ Triggered 7,000 times auction return ] [ Acquired tier 3 spirit=grade weapon, the Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer, as well as the accompanying cultivation technique and martial arts ] Lin Mo was very satisfied with the 7,000 times auction return. This treasure was given to him in a very generous manner, and it was a complete set. It was perfect. ¡°Alright, the next item up for auction is a tier 3 spirit-grade herb.¡± Lin Mo smiled, and the maid behind him brought over a silver plate. Although the herb was not as valuable as the spirit herb, its value was still not wasted, causing a huge dispute. However, this herb still had a certain value to the cultivation of the soul. The people in the hall simply did not have the qualifications to participate in the bidding. In the VIP room at the front, the moment these big shots made their bids, everyone stopped in their tracks. However, there was one exception. Bai Luo was also very interested in this spirit herb. At the last moment, he made his move, shocking everyone. ¡°Who is this person? Does he have that many spirit stones?¡± ¡°Someone is stirring up trouble, aren¡¯t you going to intervene?¡± Someone couldn¡¯t help it, because Bai Luo¡¯s bid was too over-the-top. The value of this spirit herb was only 70,000 to 80,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Now, though, it had already been raised to 100,000 by Bai Luo. This made the people who coveted the spirit herb very dissatisfied. Lin Mo had not even opened his mouth when Bai Luo¡¯s voice sounded out. Her jade-white hand held a spatial bag. As he casually opened it, a light suddenly appeared from within it. It was difficult to imagine just how many spirit stones were inside. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked. They were startled by Bai Luo¡¯s action. They did not expect that the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s treasures to be this valuable. This person was definitely a mysterious expert. He had been attracted over. ¡°Ke Ke, interesting. The Yanhuang Divine Empire is really interesting¡­¡± In the VIP room at the front, a young man laughed. Through the window, he could feel an extremely powerful aura from Bai Luo¡¯s body. ¡°Your Highness, that person is not simple. I can sense danger from his body¡­¡± aAn elder said respectfully. ¡°Oh, even Elder Li feels in danger¡­¡± The young man was shocked. Then, he thought of something and said again, ¡°What about compared to the person who just appeared?¡± He was talking about the mysterious Nirvana realm expert who had helped Lin Mo out. Elder Li had said that he could not last more than ten moves against that person. And now, another expert had appeared. It was really terrifying. ¡°Your Highness, the Yan Huang Divine Empire is too unpredictable. We don¡¯t know the origin and strength of these two mysterious experts. After this matter, let¡¯s go back.¡± Elder Li said. ¡°Alright¡­¡± The youth hesitated for a moment before finally nodding helplessly. It was said that the Yanhuang Divine Empire had very strict control over their external forces. Not to mention the spirit grade, even ninth rank treasures were not allowed to appear. He had originally thought that the internal forces of the Yanhuang Divine Empire would be extremely weak. Who would have thought that mysterious experts would appear one after another. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this friend for buying this spirit herb at a price of 120,000.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and announced the results. The item Bai Luo was wearing was a rare treasure that could perfectly conceal her aura. Moreover, she would emit a dangerous aura when facing anyone. Now, she had already planted the identity of a mysterious expert in everyone¡¯s hearts. ¡°The next item will definitely be auctioned off to Mu Ming. Remember to raise the price,¡± Lin Mo transmitted his voice. ¡°Hehe, no problem.¡± Bai Luo nodded and exchanged glances with Lin Mo with a smile. ¡°The next item is a spirit-grade tier 1 weapon. It¡¯s rather unpopular, and it¡¯s a needle type weapon.¡± ¡°Spirit-grade 1 divine needle of raging fire. The starting bid is 20,000 middle grade spirit stones. The highest bidder will get it.¡± A three-inch-long red needle was held in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, emitting a scorching aura. ¡°This is actually a needle-type weapon.¡± Mu Ming was shocked. He had just paid a huge price to buy a needle-type martial art book, and now there was a needle-type weapon. This was practically prepared for him. He remembered that the fourth Prince had an expert by his side who used needles. If he could buy these two, his relationship with the fourth Prince would be closer. ¡°No matter the price, I must buy it.¡±Mu Ming ¡®an controlled the excitement in his heart and waited for everyone to bid. At this moment, in the VIP room of the Purple Clouds Holy Land, Qin Yu was also extremely excited. ¡°A spirit-grade tier 1 weapon that fits me so well, how can I not be tempted¡­¡± Qin Yu said excitedly. However, she also remembered that Lin Mo had two needle-type weapons. She had already told him in advance that she would sell the low-quality one first. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s bleed Mu Ming dry first,¡± Qin Yu said with a smile. Mu Ming had previously bought the Fire Cloud Needle Technique. Now that the Blazing Fire Divine Needle had appeared, he definitely would not let it go. What she needed to do now was to raise the price and make Mu Ming pay an even greater price. Chapter 276 - Once Bitten Twice Shy ¡°40,000.¡± At this moment, everyone was still bidding. Moreover, Bai Luo participated from the start and raised the price. However, when the price of 40,000 was called out, everyone in the hall stopped. This was because the person who called out the price was Mu Ming, the Mu family¡¯s patriarch. It was within his expectations. This person had just spent a large amount of money to buy a martial arts book. Now that he had a corresponding weapon, how could he not buy it? ¡°45,000.¡± Mu Ming had just suppressed the crowd and thought that he was going to keep the needle technique when Bai Luo¡¯s voice rang out, cutting off Mu Ming¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Bastard¡­¡± Mu Ming cursed angrily. It was Bai Luo again. He had paid a huge price earlier because Bai Luo and Qin Yu had raised the price. At the same time, he thought of something and looked towards the VIP room of the Purple Clouds Holy Land. As expected, just as Mu Ming looked over, Qin Yu¡¯s voice was heard as she calmly bid. ¡°50,000.¡± In just a few seconds, the price had been raised from 40,000 to 50,000. The fury in Mu Ming¡¯s heart could no longer be concealed. ¡°B*stard, it¡¯s you guys again. Are you deliberately raising the price?¡± Mu Ming said angrily, his voice spreading throughout the entire auction hall. ¡°What are you shouting about? I¡¯ve been bidding since the beginning. I didn¡¯t even scold you for interfering,¡± Bai Luo said impatiently. He was the first to bid, and everyone could see this. ¡°After all, he¡¯s the Mu family¡¯s patriarch. He¡¯s so petty. Can¡¯t he allow others to bid for what she wants?¡± After Bai Luo said that, he immediately stood up and raised the bid again, ¡°60,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°Cough cough, senior Mu Ming, please have some self-respect. This is the Lin family¡¯s auction house, not your mu family¡¯s.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and said while holding back his laughter. This Bai Luo was really smooth when it came to scamming people. It seemed that he had done this many times in the past¡­ ¡°Fellow Daoist Mu Ming, this isn¡¯t right. I¡¯ve already given you all the martial arts that I¡¯ve taken a fancy to. Give me this weapon.¡±Qin Yu¡¯s voice sounded dissatisfied. ¡°65,000.¡±Qin Yu also wanted the blazing fire god¡¯s needle. ¡°70,000.¡±Mu Ming continuously hit a wall and angrily increased the price. ¡°80,000.¡± Bai Luo didn¡¯t give up and even increased the price. ¡°85,000¡­¡±Qin Yu hesitated and said. ¡°90,000.¡±Bai Luo said again. The price was getting more and more ridiculous. It had long surpassed the original value of the blazing fire divine needle. ¡°100,000. This blazing fire divine needle will definitely be mine today.¡± Mu Ming said angrily and raised the price to 100,000. This kind of heroic spirit made everyone present admire him. ¡°Senior Mu Ming is indeed heroic. I bid 100,000. Anyone Else?¡±Lin Mo spoke at the right time. The price of 100,000 was about right. The starting price was only 20,000. This had already increased by five times. If he continued to raise the price, Mu Ming would probably be anxious. ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day. It¡¯s about time¡­¡± Lin Mo transmitted his voice to Bai Luo. At the same time, he turned his gaze towards the VIP room of the Purple Clouds Holy Land. However, he was unable to transmit his voice to Bai Luo. The VIP room was well protected, and the materials used to construct it were able to isolate a large portion of the soul energy. If he were to forcefully break in, he would be discovered. If this matter were to be exposed, his reputation as an auction house would be ruined¡­ Previously, there was a map outside the ancient flame ruins to save the situation, but now, there wasn¡¯t any¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to remind me.¡±Bai Luo laughed lightly. Then, she recalled something and said, ¡°Remember to give me half of the Spirit Stones.¡± ¡°100,000 middle-grade spirit stones for the second time. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer for the second time. He looked at Bai Luo and then at Qin Yu. Seeing that the two of them didn¡¯t say anything, Lin Mo didn¡¯t hesitate either. He immediately dropped the hammer for the third time and announced Mu Ming¡¯s victory. ¡°Alright, congratulations to Senior Mu Ming for buying the spirit-grade tier 1 divine needle of raging fire at the price of 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± With his goal achieved, Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with a smile, and he almost burst out laughing. His words also caused Mu Ming¡¯s expression to turn ugly. It wasn¡¯t until Lin Mo dropped his hammer that he finally understood that he had been scammed. Furthermore, he had been scammed by Bai Luo and Qin Yu¡¯s combined efforts. The surrounding crowd gradually understood as well, and some of them immediately burst out laughing. Having fallen for the same ploy twice, this Mu Ming was truly miserable. [Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 1 weapon, the blazing fire God¡¯s needle] [Triggered 3,000 times the auction profit] [Obtained the spirit rank 2 needle weapon, the yin pole needle] ¡°Alright, the next item up for auction is the tier 2 spirit-grade weapon, the yin pole needle.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out the yin pole needle from the system¡¯s storage and presented it to everyone. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked and couldn¡¯t believe it. Two needle-type weapons were being auctioned consecutively. Was the Lin clan¡¯s auction house that rich? Perhaps the in Mo had obtained a lot of benefits from the ancient flame ruins? No matter what, everyone¡¯s attention had been attracted to it. ¡°Spirit rank 2 yin pole needle, starting bid 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°31,000.¡± ¡°32,000.¡± ¡°35,000.¡± The shouts continued to reverberate, and everyone was discussing. Only the Mu family¡¯s Vip Room was silent. Everyone from the Mu family did not dare to speak, because the killing intent in Mu Ming¡¯s eyes had already spread. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he still had a shred of rationality left, he would have long gone on a killing spree. At this moment, not only did he feel that the mysterious person and Qin Yu were tricking him, even Lin Mo was tricking him as well. ¡°Lin Mo, sooner or later, I will tear you into pieces¡­¡± Mu Ming roared furiously. Although the fourth Prince had given him a lot of money, anyone would be enraged if they were toyed with like this. ¡°Forty-five thousand.¡± At this moment, Qin Yu spoke again. He offered forty thousand to shake off some people. ¡°Fifty thousand.¡± However, a weapon of the second level of the spirit realm had caught the imperial family¡¯s attention. As soon as elder Mo spoke, he was not willing to let it go. ¡°Fifty-five thousand.¡± Since Old Mo had spoken, the people of Great Yan Divine Empire would not let it go. Thus, when he spoke this time, he looked like he was going to argue with them. ¡°Fifty-seven thousand.¡± Qin Yu frowned. Although Lin Mo had given her a chance, if she wanted to take it down, she would have to pay a little price¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t care anymore. I must take have this yin pole needle.¡±Qin Yu made up her mind. Not only this yin pole needle, but also the needle-type martial arts that were about to appear. He could not miss this opportunity. ¡°Sixty thousand.¡± ¡°Sixty-three thousand.¡± ¡°Sixty-five thousand.¡± Qin Yu kept chasing after him. The people of Great Yan dynasty were also competing with elder Mo, increasing the price continuously. In the end, perhaps because of Qin Yu¡¯s insistence, Elder Mo did not increase the price anymore and kept silent. Seeing Elder Mo keep silent, the people of Great Yan Divine Empire kept silent as well. This yin pole needle was bought by Qin Yu at the price of seventy thousand middle-grade energy stones. Upon seeing this scene, the anger that Mu Ming had just suppressed exploded once again. Looking at Bai Luo in the hall, his killing intent surged. ¡°Bastard, you two are indeed in cahoots. I will never forgive you.¡± Unfortunately, no matter how angry he was, it was useless at this moment. And now, he did not dare to make a move¡­ ¡°Alright, the next item up for auction is a spirit-grade tier 2 needlework martial art.¡± As Lin Mo introduced it, Mu Ming could no longer suppress his anger. Chapter 277 - Yin ¡°Bang.¡± Lin Mo was still introducing the flowers when the door to the VIP room was kicked open. Mu Ming walked out with a face full of anger. ¡°Oh?¡± Everyone was stunned. Could it be that Mu Ming was going to make a move here? ¡°It¡¯s normal. No one can stay here after being played like this¡­¡± ¡°I heard that Lin Mo and elder Qin Yu of the Purple Clouds Holy Land had jointly held an auction in the ruins.¡± ¡°That makes sense then¡­¡± Everyone¡¯s discussion made Mu Ming even angrier. He wanted to make a move a few times, but he held it back. ¡°Senior Mu Ming, what are you doing?¡± Lin Mo asked. This old man¡¯s endurance was too weak. Mu Ming¡¯s face darkened as he said coldly, ¡°Nothing much. Something came up suddenly, so I won¡¯t participate in the rest of the auction.¡± Upon hearing this, Miao Qing, who was chatting with Yan Rong and Duanmu Jia, walked up with two maids behind her. ¡°Senior Mu Ming, these are the treasures you auctioned off. Please keep them well.¡± Miao Qing said respectfully and handed the two treasures to Mu Ming, waiting respectfully. Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, Mu Ming¡¯s eyes surged with killing intent. He really wanted to kill Yan Rong here. Even Miao Qing¡¯s face was faintly covered in cold sweat. Although he knew that there was a Nirvana realm expert guarding the auction, it was still a bit rash for him to come out personally to court death¡­ ¡°Hmph, how could I go back on my word when I made the bid.¡±Mu Ming said coldly, took out a spatial bag, and threw the spiritual stones on the silver plate in the maid¡¯s hand. After putting away the treasure, Mu Ming left with a dark face. No one dared to speak during the whole process, for fear of angering this terrifying person. Looking at the spirit stones on the silver plate, Miao Qing heaved a sigh of relief and retreated. However, when he returned, he saw Duanmu Jia¡¯s disdainful gaze. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? During master¡¯s time in the ruins, we¡¯ve been mocked by the Mu family¡¯s disciples many times.¡± Miao Qing curled his lips and said. ¡°Boorish¡­¡± Duanmu Jia said disdainfully. Mu Ming had already lost enough face, yet Miao Qing still went up to him and added insult to injury. This guy was really not afraid that Mu Ming would hold a grudge and settle the score later¡­ ¡°Brother Miao, let¡¯s not talk about other things. I, Yan Rong, admire you. I respect you as a man.¡±Yan Rong punched Miao Qing¡¯s chest and laughed loudly. ¡°Brother Miao Qing is so amazing¡­¡± Lin Die also applauded from behind. At this moment, after Mu Ming¡¯s little incident, the auction went smoothly. Qin Yu had also obtained the ¡®Ghost Needle of Heavenly Yin¡¯ as she had hoped. She was very satisfied with her harvest this time. As for the following treasure auctions, she did not participate much in them. During this period, she bought a few more spirit herbs, and became a spectator during the whole process. As for Su Hanhai from the Su clan, he was a spectator throughout the whole process, and had no intention of making a move at all. On the contrary, Elder Mo, the Great Yan Divine Empire, and Kong Xiu had bought more than half of the treasures. ¡°Phew, thank you all for coming to support us. The last item for today¡¯s auction is a spirit-grade tier 5 spirit herb. I don¡¯t need to tell you how precious it is.¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The last item for today¡¯s auction could be said to be the most precious spirit herb in Lin Mo¡¯s possession. ¡°Spirit-grade fifth tier spirit herb, Yin Yang Jade spring flower. I believe everyone is clear about the value of this item.¡± ¡°This is the spirit grade sixth grade spirit pill that Nirvana stage experts dream of refining. It¡¯s the main ingredient of the Nirvana Leap Heaven Pill.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. This item did not have much effect on him. Rather than that, he might as well sell it. In any case, these people would not give up so easily, especially the Nirvana stage experts present. The so-called Nirvana Sky Leap Pill was able to allow a Nirvana stage expert to step into the first sky completely. Moreover, such a breakthrough would not damage their foundation. Not to mention the Yan Huang Divine Dynasty, even in the entire eastern continent, the Nirvana Sky Leap Pill was a top-grade treasure. If it was not for the fact that it was only effective on experts below the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage, its grade would probably be spirit-grade tier 9. At this moment, in the VIP room of the Peacock Spirit Clan, an old man who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was fixed on the black and white flower in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. After a long while, an old voice slowly sounded out, ¡°It¡¯s the real Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower. You must bid for it¡­¡± The cultivation of the Nirvana realm was extremely difficult. It would take a long time to break through to the first sky of the Nirvana realm. Many people could even be stuck at the same stage for their entire lives. It would be difficult for them to advance even an inch until their lifespan was exhausted. Therefore, once the main ingredient of the Nirvana Leap Heaven Pill appeared in the world, it would definitely cause a storm. By now, the deterrence of Luo Haoyu¡¯s appearance had already begun to weaken. Many people were eager to give it a try. Even those who were not at the Nirvana stage coveted it. This was because the Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower had another effect, which was that it was extremely helpful in breaking through to the Nirvana stage. Its effect was much better than the life accumulating pill. Even the life accumulating pill could only increase the probability of breaking through by 20% . On the other hand, the Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower could increase the probability by 50% . Such a high success rate was enough to make people lose their rationality. ¡°Attack.¡± Suddenly, an explosive shout sounded out. Two figures appeared like ghosts. They wore black robes and instantly appeared in front of Lin Mo. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was powerful. As soon as there was a strange movement, the Kun Peng Wings and the origin soul puppet were used. However, the other party¡¯s strength far exceeded Lin Mo¡¯s. At this moment, they actually erupted with the powerful strength of the Nirvana stage. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Kun Peng Wings were flapped and he wanted to escape. However, the other party¡¯s speed was too fast and did not allow him to react. The two of them worked well together. One of them sent the puppet flying while the other slashed at Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings. The other person stretched out his hand and aimed at Lin Mo¡¯s throat. His target was not the Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower, but Lin Mo¡¯s life. ¡°How dare you.¡± In front of Lin Mo, a bright silver spear appeared in front of Lin Mo. Beside Lin Mo, Bai Luo appeared. Wearing bright silver battle armor, he raised his hand to block the palm blade. However, in the next moment, the spear could no longer withstand the sharp wind from the claw and broke apart. The remaining power of the claw did not decrease as it pierced towards Lin Mo¡¯s throat. Bai Luo was also injured by the palm blade. Two bloody wounds appeared on his hand guard. However, Bai Luo¡¯s obstruction still played a crucial role. Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng flapped its wings and quickly retreated. ¡°Damn it, my Silver Dragon Spear, my Silver Dragon Armor¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face was filled with heartache. These were two spirit-grade tier 5 treasures that she had carefully selected. They were her favorite weapons. Unfortunately, one was destroyed and the other was damaged. They suffered heavy losses. ¡°Run quickly.¡± After the two Nirvana realm experts¡¯ sneak attack missed, their expressions changed drastically. They turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°Since you¡¯ve made your move, then stay.¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s furious voice sounded. A terrifying pressure spread and instantly enveloped the entire place. Everyone only felt their breathing stop. The entire space of the auction ground froze. An old man suddenly appeared with a face full of fury. ¡°¡­¡± The entire place was extremely quiet. Even Lin Mo was extremely shocked, and he was able to clearly see what had happened. After understanding what had happened, his understanding of Luo Haoyu was refreshed once again. It was simply unimaginable¡­ ¡°Senior Luo, he actually used his pressure to control the entire place¡­¡± Chapter 278 - Blood Phoenix Flower There were at least five Nirvana stage powerhouses present. It was unbelievable that Luo Haoyu could control the entire scene. ¡°He can control fiven Nirvana stage powerhouses just by relying on his aura. This is at least at the fourth sky of the Nirvana stage¡­¡± Bai Luo praised. He did not expect the eighth prince to treat Lin Mo so well and send such a powerhouse over. ¡°Fourth sky of the Nirvana realm¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was probably the strongest person under Jiang Xiyue. He was actually sent out. Luo Haoyu raised his hand and the space around the two Nirvana realm experts shattered. Their bodies were also torn apart along with the space. During the entire process, the two of them did not even have the strength to fight back and were crushed easily. Everyone who saw this scene was shocked and fear continued to spread. After the two of them died, Luo Haoyu¡¯s pressure disappeared. A few VIP rooms were opened and the people inside walked out one after another. ¡°This subordinate, Mo Yan, pays my respects to the fifth-level torturer, Lord Luo Haoyu.¡± The moment Elder Mo of the imperial family appeared, he immediately knelt down and respectfully kowtowed. ¡°Master!¡± Qianqian was stunned. She did not expect that the Nirvana stage expert who had just appeared was actually her master. ¡°Qianqian, your strength has increased again.¡± Luo Haoyu revealed a peaceful smile. He walked in front of Qianqian and sized her up. ¡°Since the auction has been interrupted, let me finish it.¡± Luo Haoyu smiled and turned his head to look at Lin Mo. ¡°The starting price of this Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower is usually around 100,000. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll bid 200,000. Does anyone want to bid?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo was aghast. He immediately dropped the auction hammer and smiled, ¡°Senior Luo, what are you talking about? You¡¯ve helped me twice, how can I still take your money?¡± Saying this, he threw the Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower in front of Luo Haoyu. ¡°How can I let you suffer a loss?¡± Luo Haoyu shook his head, took out 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones from his spatial bag, and tossed it to Lin Mo. . ¡°Then this junior would be disrespectful.¡± Lin Mo smiled, and did not refuse. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the tier 5 spirit herb, Yin-yang Jade Spring Flower ] [ Triggered 10,000 times auction return ] [ Obtained spirit-grade tierspirit herb, Blood Phoenix Flower ] 10,000 times auction return. The ending was extremely perfect. Furthermore, the effects of this Blood Phoenix Flower were extremely mysterious. It could be used in conjunction with the true Phoenix Nirvana technique that he had just obtained. This would be extremely beneficial to his increase in strength. At this point, the auction had come to an end. However, news of what had happened here would soon spread. At that time, the entire Ancient Flame City and even the Yanhuang Divine Empire would know. ¡°Oh right, senior, which side are these two people from?¡± Lin Mo asked. He was quite curious about this. ¡°I can¡¯t confirm. They don¡¯t have any characteristics related to a sect or faction.¡± Luo Haoyu shook his head. They had already been killed. Even if he wanted to interrogate them, he could not. ¡°I¡¯m leaving. No one can discover my whereabouts. You should keep a low profile.¡± Luo Haoyu secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Mo. . As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared, leaving only Lin Mo and Bai Luo on the stage. ¡°Cough cough¡­ Thank you for participating in this auction. The next auction has yet to be decided. Everyone, please leave.¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked these people to look for Miao Qing and the Duanmu family to take stock of the auction items. As for himself, he went to the back with Bai Luo. Only when they entered the small courtyard did he heave a sigh of relief. ¡°If I had known that you had help, I wouldn¡¯t have made a move. Seriously¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face was filled with reluctance. In order to help Lin Mo block two Nirvana stage warriors, he had lost two spirit rank 5 weapons. ¡°Many thanks¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Towards Bai Luo, he wass extremely grateful. The situation just now was really dangerous. Although Luo Haoyu was present, he probably did not pay much attention to the auction house. If he did not act immediately, Lin Mo would have to face the attack alone. Therefore, Bai Luo¡¯s attacks was still very crucial. ¡°Alright, enough with those mushy words. I have to go now,¡± said Bai Luo. ¡°So soon? Where Are We Going?¡± Asked Lin Mo, feeling a little reluctant. ¡°I was planning to go to Great Yan Divine Empire, but now that people from Great Yan Divine Empire have suddenly come to Yanhuang Divine Empire, I¡¯m afraid things have changed.¡± ¡°So, it might be the Great Ancient Dynasty or Lu Jin dynasty. We¡¯ll just have to adapt to the situation.¡± After saying that, Bai Luo handed Lin Mo a tier 1 spirit-grade formation disk , which contained the formation they had used to resonate their divine will. ¡°We can still use it twice. Take care of yourself.¡± Bai Luo stood up and left. Putting on his bamboo hat, he walked in front. Lin Mo saw him off until Bai Luo disappeared into the sea of people. Following the flow of people, she disappeared. ¡°Big Brother, Sister Bai Luo?¡± A tender voice sounded. Lin Die walked over and tugged on Lin Mo¡¯s pants. ¡°Shh, don¡¯t make a sound.¡± Lin Mo made a silent gesture and carried Lin die back to the backyard. He took out the inheritance rune and started to study it together with Lin Die. Not to mention anything else, he had to at least obtain all of the martial techniques above the spirit rank. In just a short moment, a martial technique appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The earthen yellow light flickered and became hazy. Without a doubt, this was also an earth-grade martial technique. Although it was not as good as the Taiyu Recuperation Technique, it was not weak either. However, when Lin Mo wanted to continue comprehending, a sudden change occurred and his palm was pushed away. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He felt that this ball of symbols was repelling him. Every time he was about to obtain a martial art or cultivation technique, he would fail because of the resistance within the symbols. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m the same. It won¡¯t let me comprehend anymore.¡± Lin Die opened her eyes and said. ¡°You can¡¯t be too greedy¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Perhaps the person who left the inheritance did not want the person who received it to be too dependent on him. ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. If he had known earlier, he could have given the rune to Luo Haoyu and asked him to bring it back to Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s cultivate.¡± Putting away the rune, Lin Mo took out many spiritual herbs and piled them in front of him, letting Lin Die cultivate diligently. He also began to recall the true Phoenix Nirvana technique. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the pavilion. Flames gradually rose from his body, and complex symbols flickered one after another. These were the flames used during the true Phoenix Nirvana, and they were extremely mysterious. This inheritance was engraved in his heart, and he did not need to spend too much effort to comprehend it. He could directly use it. At the same time, a flower appeared in his hand, and divine light filled the air. Flames spread out from the surface of his body, enveloping this flower. All of a sudden, an aura that originated from the immemorial era spread out from Lin Mo¡¯s body. This was the ¡°True Phoenix Nirvana Technique¡± refining the Blood Phoenix Flower and refining Lin Mo¡¯s physical body. Just like that, he continued to meditate. Light flowed around his body, and the Nirvana divine flame continued to spread out. Moreover, it would change from time to time. In the end, the blood phoenix flower was refined, and Lin Mo¡¯s entire body was covered in flames. Symbols continued to spread, and he suddenly seemed like a real phoenix that had just woken up. His aura was majestic. Chapter 279 - Zhen Gu This situation continued for more than ten days. Lin Mo¡¯s physical body underwent an earth-shaking transformation. The Nirvana Divine Flame of the True Phoenix continued to be refined, helping him to comprehend the Dao. This kind of cultivation had a great harvest. The Ancient True Phoenix¡¯s technique was very mysterious, helping Lin Mo to take many routes in his comprehension. In just a dozen days, Lin Mo had completely completed his training. The Blood Phoenix Flower and some precious spirit herbs were used by him. During this period of time, Lin Mo continuously comprehended the Qilin steps, the Kun Peng Wings, and the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. Very quickly, he became familiar with them and understood most of their power. However, if he wanted to completely control them, he still needed to pay a very great price. He would have to invest a lot of time, experience, and endless resources. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s realm had also received a huge increase. However, his strength had only increased to tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. This made him sigh with emotion. The consumption of resources by the God Devouring Body was becoming more and more terrifying. Spirit-grade resources were things that even Nirvana realm powerhouses coveted. Now, he had used the incomplete technique of the Ancient True Phoenix to refine the Blood Phoenix Flower, and it had only helped him raise his strength by two ranks. ¡°This won¡¯t do, I still have to find more resources¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned, the consumption was getting greater and greater. It seemed that he could not just sell spirit stones, he still had to exchange some precious treasures with others. Especially something like the Blood Phoenix Flower, the more the better. Standing up, Lin Die was still in the state of cultivation. Lin Mo did not disturb her and left some cultivation resources behind before leaving the small courtyard. Just as he walked out, he saw Duanmu Jia walking over with a red invitation card in his hand. He looked a little flustered. ¡°What¡¯s Wrong?¡± Lin Mo was stunned and hurriedly asked. ¡°Master, the fourth prince has come to ancient flame city. He¡¯s holding a trade fair in the city Lord¡¯s mansion, inviting all kinds of talents to go.¡± Duanmu Jia said anxiously. The fourth prince himself had come in person, and the trade fair had already begun the day before yesterday. She had come several times during this period, but every time, Lin Mo was in closed-door cultivation. ¡°The fourth prince has come?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Because the Sima clan was rather unlucky, the clan head had died in the Ancient Flame Ruins. Thus, the current Ancient Flame City could be said to be the Su clan and Mu clan¡¯s stronghold. The crown prince had obviously given up on Gu Yan City and let the Sima family retreat. Under normal circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the Mu family was suppressed by Lin Mo. However, things were different now. The fourth prince had personally come, and it was causing a huge commotion. Even the people from the neighboring cities knew about it. Gu Yan city was extremely lively. The streets in the city were sprawling, and every single one of them was filled with people. Lin Mo walked alone on the streets. He wore a bamboo hat hesitantly, but no one recognized him. On the streets, there were demonic beasts running about from time to time. There were some people riding on them, and their auras were extraordinary. These people all had the same goal, which was the central area of Ancient Flame City, the city lord¡¯s residence. The pedestrians on the streets were not surprised by this. They had already seen too much in the past few days. All sorts of talented individuals had come. There had even been quite a bit of fighting because some people who were opposing each other had also come. Of course, this was still Ancient Flame City after all. With the two great clans placed there, not many people dared to be impudent. Lin Mo¡¯s goal was the same as these people. It was the city lord¡¯s residence. It was obvious what the fourth prince¡¯s motive was behind holding the trade fair in the city lord¡¯s residence. Right now, Gu Yan City¡¯s reputation was growing day by day. When he first came, he was not that great. Although he had held a few decent auctions. His reputation wasn¡¯t that great. His survival still depended on the Su family. Now, it was different. Luo Haoyu came to help him guard the place, and all the experts did not dare to attack him. This was also the reason why outsiders knew that he had a treasure, but they did not dare to attack him. ¡°Is this the city lord¡¯s residence? It¡¯s really grand.¡± An hour later, Lin Mo walked to the gate of the city lord¡¯s residence and took off his bamboo hat. There were many demonic beasts stationed outside the city lord¡¯s residence. These were the mounts of those experts. Just from their auras, one could tell how powerful they were. ¡°I am Lin Mo.¡± Lin Mo walked forward and handed the red invitation card to the person in charge of receiving them at the gate. Taking off his bamboo hat, exclamations immediately rang out from the surroundings. Lin Mo¡¯s fame had been spreading ever since the Ancient Flame Ruins opened. ¡°So he¡¯s Lin Mo. .¡± ¡°His realm has risen again. I can feel that he¡¯s stronger than the last time he came to the auction.¡± ¡°No wonder he¡¯s late. He must have just come out of seclusion.¡± ¡°Welcome, Young Master Lin Mo. The fourth prince has been waiting for you for a long time.¡± The person in charge of the entrance confirmed Lin Mo¡¯s identity and hurriedly let him in. However, although Lin Mo was stunning, many people did not think too much about it. There were many people who were stronger than him. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin, long time no see.¡± Just as Lin Mo walked in, a person walked towards him. That person was very powerful. He emitted a special aura and was very mysterious. ¡°Uh¡­ Who are you?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Did he know this guy? Although this guy was very strong, Lin Mo thought about it carefully and found that he was not on the ranking list of Yan and Huang dynasties. However, in terms of ranking, this guy could be ranked in the top ten. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m Zhen Gu, the fifth prince of Great Yan Divine Empire. I¡¯ve seen brother Lin at the auction house,¡± said the man with a smile. ¡°So it¡¯s you¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. Among the four great divine empires in the eastern continent, Great YanDivine Empire was one of the few that maintained a neutral position. This was also the reason why countless business groups in the Eastern Continent wanted to enter Great Yan Dynastyt. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ve found some supreme treasures in front of us, and I¡¯m a little hesitant. I wonder if you could give me some advice?¡±Zhen Gu invited. At the same time, he also expressed that although Great Yan dynasty and Yanhuang dynasty were not friends, they were not enemies either. In addition, they had always been neutral, and had never offended anyone. As long as they were close to him, they would not cause any trouble. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m very interested.¡± Lin Mo was originally here to search for treasures, and now was the perfect time to head over. ¡°Stop, there¡¯s no place for you here, Lin Mo.¡± An angry voice sounded out as a group of people walked over in an imposing manner. Lin Mo raised his head and discovered that these people were dressed in the attire of the disciples of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. However, they were older and looked to be in their forties or fifties. Apart from them, the Holy Maiden of the Cang Xuan Holy Land, Han Yue, was also present. She stared at Lin Mo with killing intent surging in her eyes. ¡°What? Could it be that you want to stir up trouble here?¡± Lin Mo laughed. If it was possible, he would also want to make a move. ¡°Although I can¡¯t kill you, I can still teach you a lesson,¡± Han Yue said coldly. She looked behind her and saw an elder walking over. ¡°Elder Zhao, he has a puppet. Remember to use the yin-suppressing talisman.¡± The yin-suppressing talisman was a type of talisman that was specially used to restrain puppets. Once it was used, the puppet would lose its effect in a short period of time. It was more targeted, but its effect was also relatively simple. She did not expect that these people would actually find it to deal with her. ¡°Everyone, this place is organized by your Divine Empire¡¯s fourth prince. It¡¯s not appropriate to make a move, right?¡± Zhen Gu said, wanting to persuade them. Chapter 280 - Damaged Inner Core ¡°There¡¯s no need for Prince Zhen Gu to worry about that. Elder Zhao, teach him a lesson and throw him out,¡± said Han Yue. However, she did not dare to let the elder kill her. After all, this was the trade fair organized by the fourth prince. It was understandable for cultivators to fight. After all, cultivators had blood in their veins. However, the Cangxuan Holy Land was not strong enough to ignore the prince of the Shen dynasty when it came to killing people. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Leave it to me.¡± Elder Zhao nodded and took out a grayish-black talisman. The talisman rose into the air and emitted a strange light. It did not affect Lin Mo at all, but he could feel a mysterious power stopping him from summoning the puppet. ¡°Hurry up and don¡¯t let too many people notice.¡± Han Yue nodded and urged elder Zhao to act quickly. Otherwise, when the people behind Lin Mo arrived, it would be difficult to deal with them. Furthermore, it was said that there were a few elders in the Su clan. If they were discovered, they would not be able to act. ¡°Buzz.¡± Elder Zhao acted with incomparable conceit. He struck out a palm and aimed it directly at Lin Mo¡¯s face. He sneered and said, ¡°Next time you go out, remember to bring some guards¡­¡± Many people in the surroundings noticed this and instantly retreated. During the few days of the trade fair, there had been quite a few fights. As long as no lives were lost, basically no one would care. This was the world of cultivators. There were disputes everywhere. ¡°Rumble.¡± A loud sound rang out. The ground in this area split open. Everyone was shocked by this violent energy. ¡°Bang.¡± A figure was sent flying. His body brushed against the ground, leaving behind a bloody trail. Someone laughed out loud because he saw an old man spitting out blood. He looked extremely miserable. ¡°How could it be?¡± However, there were still people who were shocked. They looked at Lin Mo with a face full of disbelief. They had just exchanged blows and Elder Zhao from the Cang Xuan Holy Land was already injured. He was in such a miserable state. Moreover, looking at Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, he was completely fine. He did not look like he was using his full strength at all. ¡°Tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, that¡¯s weak. You must have used spirit pills to forcefully raise it¡­¡± Lin Mo said calmly. Spirit pills would raise one¡¯s realm very quickly, but it would also expend a lot of energy on one¡¯s foundation. Therefore, under normal circumstances, most people would use spirit pills as a guide and spirit stones as the main focus, slowly cultivating and improving. After receiving all the spirit qi from the spirit pills, it would be extremely difficult to raise one¡¯s strength again after such an increase. One had to either scatter one¡¯s cultivation and re-cultivate, or use genuine treasures of the world to rebuild one¡¯s foundation. Each of these would come at a huge price. Therefore, only those who felt their lifespan dry up, or those who had no hope of breaking through in their lifetime, would receive all the spiritual energy from the spirit pill. ¡°How can he be so strong?¡± Holy Maiden Han Yue was shocked. Looking at Lin Mo, she could not help but retreat. It had only been a short while since they last met. She was still stuck at tier 17th level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, while Lin Mo was already at tier 20. Moreover, with such terrifying combat strength, it was hard to imagine how Lin Mo cultivated. ¡°Stop making such a commotion.¡± At this moment, a group of guards came from afar. The leader of the guards was a little nervous, and cold sweat appeared on his face. He was only at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, but he had no choice but to come out. However, when he saw that Elder Zhao, who was at tier 27 level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, was sent flying by a punch from Lin Mo, his heart was uncertain. ¡°Tsk, so weak.¡± Lin Mo curled his lips and did not make things difficult for the guards. He turned around and left. 1 As long as the people holding the trade fair today were from other Holy Lands, these people would not be alive. ¡°Hehe, Brother Lin, you have good methods. The profundity of that martial art has surprised me.¡± Zhen Gu walked up and left with Lin Mo. . ¡°It¡¯s just a simple martial art. How can it be as good as Prince Zhen Gu¡¯s eyes?¡± Lin Mo smiled modestly. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. This Zhen Gu was not a simple character. Just now, his punch seemed to be ordinary, but in fact, there was a profound mystery hidden in it. The incomplete technique of the ancient Vermilion Bird, the ¡®Cloud Piercing Four Spirits¡¯, was a powerful killer move that was comparable to a heaven grade martial art. When unleashed, it could tear apart the heaven and earth with just one move. However, he had concealed it very well. Unexpectedly, he still could not escape Zhen Gu¡¯s eyes. As expected of the Prince of the Great Yan Divine Empire¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, are you willing to sell this martial art?¡± Asked Zhen Gu. He was drooling over Lin Mo¡¯s ¡®Cloud Piercing Four Spirits¡¯. At the same time, he indicated that Lin Mo could name the price freely. As long as he felt it was worth it, then he could trade it. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t want to sell this martial art.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and rejected this request. What kind of joke was this? This was the technique of an archaic divine beast, and he absolutely could not reveal it. Otherwise, the entire Eastern Continent would be in chaos. Moreover, even if he were to hand it over to Zhen Gu, the Great Yan Divine Empire would probably announce that they were no longer neutral in the next second¡­ ¡°That¡¯s really a pity. If brother Lin is interested in the future, you can come to me for a trade.¡± Zhen Gu did not mind, and continued to chat with Lin Mo. ¡°The stall I mentioned is right in front of us. There are a few ancient items that I¡¯m not sure about,¡± Zhen Gu said, and brought Lin Mo to the front of a stall. There were many people gathered here. Everyone was discussing the mysteries of this item and wanted to buy it. ¡°Eh?¡± Just as he arrived, Lin Mo was shocked as he saw a stalk of grass in front of him. In a small bowl made of soil, there was a bowl of lava. A stalk of grass was planted inside, swaying in the wind. ¡°This Fire Spirit Grass contains extremely pure fire attribute energy. It¡¯s extremely good for fire attribute cultivators. Are you interested, sir?¡± The stall owner saw the desire in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and immediately became interested. He immediately smiled and introduced. ¡°How many spirit stones are we talking about?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Not expensive. This is a spirit-grade tier 1 herb. I¡¯ll only need 80,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± The stall owner said with a smile. ¡°Why don¡¯t you rob me insetad?¡± The corners of Lin Mo¡¯s eyes twitched. This fellow really dared to name such a high price. Even though the fire spirit grass was extremely beneficial to one¡¯s cultivation, its grade was still a little low. In the auction it could only be sold for 60,000 middle grade spirit stones. Yet this fellow was asking for 80,000 middle grade spirit stones? ¡°Hehe, sir, in order to obtain the fire spirit grass, I nearly lost my life. It took me a lot of effort to obtain it¡­¡± The stall owner was a middle-aged man. At this moment, he had a troubled expression on his face. He knew that it was too expensive, but he still did not want to lower the price¡­ ¡°How about this? I have some small items here. If little brother doesn¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll give you one.¡± As he spoke, the man pointed to the left side of the stall, where there was a pile of miscellaneous items. There were blood-stained bones, broken knives, and some shredded paper. There was nothing much to see¡­ ¡°Can I use my methods to inspect these miscellaneous items?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Of course you can, but you can¡¯t damage them.¡± The stall owner nodded. Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled. The runes in his hand were extremely complicated and hard to detect. He even had the power of the God Devouring body mixed within, making it impossible for others to see what he was doing. He placed his palm on the pile of sundries, and with a thought, he stored it into the system space. [ Finger bone of a third sky Nirvana realm expert ] [ Spirit tuer 7 weapon fragment ] [ blood stained rag ] ¡°¡­¡± Most of them had good backgrounds, but they were all useless. If that finger bone was swallowed, it would have the effect of a tier 8 spirit pill. However, Lin Mo felt disgusted. There was no difference between swallowing a demonic cultivator and a similar one. Just as he was feeling disappointed, the system¡¯s voice made him extremely pleasantly surprised¡­ [ Broken inner core of a ninth sky of Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast ] Chapter 281 - Buy the Treasure at a Low Price ¡°There really is a treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Although the inner core of a ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast was broken, its effect was still very good. ¡°I can give it to the original soul puppet.¡± He had just refined the Blood Phoenix Flower and had a breakthrough. He needed a certain amount of time to cultivate, otherwise, his foundation would be unstable. After the system storage revealed all the information, Lin Mo took out all of them. Among all the miscellaneous items, apart from the broken inner core, the finger bone was the most precious. ¡°Young master, do you fancy anything?¡± The stall owner smiled and pushed the fire spirit grass towards Lin Mo. ¡°These items have good origins. In the past, they were all treasures. However, with the passing of time, they are no longer of much use¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and his words gained the approval of many people around him. Everyone had their own tricks up their sleeves, and they were able to get a rough idea of what was going on. Now that there were people who had the same conclusion as them, they were basically certain of what was going on. Lin Mo pretended to be helpless as he picked up the damaged inner core from the pile of junk and put away the Fire Spirit Grass. He threw out 80,000 mid-grade spirit stones and left with Zhen Gu, indicating that there were no hidden treasures. ¡°Oh, could it be that brother Lin has found a treasure?¡±Zhen Gu was a little surprised. He had seen the pile of junk before and had some knowledge, but he could not see through it. Who would have thought that Lin Mo could really find a treasure from it. ¡°A Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast¡¯s inner core. Although it¡¯s broken, it¡¯s not bad.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. The ninth sky of the Nirvana realm was still the Nirvana realm. ¡°I see. I was blind.¡± Zhen gu sighed. He thought that he had looked carefully enough, but he still missed it. ¡°Oh right, brother Zhen, can you help me?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He wanted to sell such an inner core here. Although this was a trade fair, it was inevitable that many people would like the same treasure at the same time. This way, the highest bidder would get it, which was equivalent to an auction. The price of this inner core was not cheap. There should not be many people who could consume it. ¡°Brother Lin, you can say whatever you want.¡± Zhen Gu waved his hand. He came here to make friends with Lin Mo. how could he not accept the favor that Lin Mo gave him? ¡°Ask your people to help me spread the news. I got an incomplete inner core of a ninth sky Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast.¡± Lin Mo smiled. As soon as he said this, Zhen Gu was immediately stunned on the spot. ¡°Ninth sky of Nirvana Realm?¡± This was the one that Lin Mo had just obtained? Then he would have missed out on a very expensive inner core¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, are you serious?¡± Zhen gu said. Although the ninth sky Nirvana realm Demonic Beast inner core was damaged, the price of any inner core was generally higher. Such a pill was at least spirit-grade eighth tier. This was a bonus for Lin Mo when he bought the fire spirit grass. If that stall owner knew about it, he might regret it to a great extent¡­ ¡°Please, let¡¯s continue shopping.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took the lead to walk out. He strolled around this area and saw many treasures. He had made many moves, but they were all spiritual medicines that were helpful for cultivation. He had even traded some of the weapons he had on hand. Other than that, there were also martial arts. There were many spirit rank martial arts and cultivation techniques that he did not need, and he had also used them to trade. ¡°Brother Lin, your collection is really shocking¡­¡± Along the way, Zhen Gu was dumbfounded. Lin Mo had bought too many spirit herbs, and most of them were barter items. Seeing the precious martial arts and cultivation techniques being thrown out by Lin Mo without any hesitation, he was very moved. ¡°Hehe, how is this mine? Someone asked me to sell it¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and threw the pot away. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zhen Gu was stunned, but he immediately understood and said, ¡°Many forces in the outside world are saying that brother Lin is from the eighth prince¡¯s bloodline. Now it seems that this is not just a rumor.¡± ¡°Hehe, there¡¯s no other way. Living in the Yanhuang Divine Empire, if you want to grow, you have to find a shelter, right?¡± Lin Mo said casually. After negotiating the price with the vendor, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction and took another tier-9 herb. ¡°Then you have to take care of yourself, Brother Lin¡­¡± Zhen Gu said with a hidden meaning. ¡°Brother Zhen, just say what you want to say,¡± Lin Mo said. Zhen gu seemed to know something. ¡°The Yanhuang Divine Empire is going to be in chaos. This place will become the center of the war,¡± Zhen Gu said. Not only the Yanhuang Divine Empire, but the entire Eastern Continent was going to face a disaster. ¡°It is said that it is an ancient prophecy that will engulf every faction in the eastern continent,¡± Zhen Gu said. This was also the reason why he came here. The Yanhuang Divine Empire¡¯s imperial family had been suppressing outsiders for many years, which had already made many factions unhappy. The Yanhuang Divine Empire had seized all the resources in order to strengthen the combat strength of the Imperial City. They felt that outsiders were unreliable after all. Therefore, they gathered all the resources together. This way, they would be able to get through this difficult situation. However, this also caused the combat strength of the Yanhuang Divine Empire to collapse. It was very difficult for even a Nirvana Realm expert to be born. ¡°As for the specifics, you can ask the person behind you. I don¡¯t know much either.¡± Zhen gu said with a smile. Lin Mo frowned. This was a big piece of news to him. Perhaps, he had to set off early and head to the imperial city. ¡°Brother Lin, help me take a look. What¡¯s so special about this weapon?¡± While he was thinking, Zhen Gu¡¯s voice sounded. Lin Mo opened his eyes and saw Zhen Gu holding a huge bead in his hand. It was half the size of his head. ¡°The runes on it are very mysterious. However, the spiritual essence injected into it has no effect at all.¡± Zhen Gu was helpless. This rune looked very ancient. After so many years of accumulation, it was still operating. This was enough to prove that it was extraordinary. However, the stall owner tried everything he could, but he couldn¡¯t operate it. He could only take it out and sell it. ¡°Hehe, customers, please take a closer look. This thing is definitely worth a lot of money.¡± The stall owner said with a smile. ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Lin Mo raised his hand and held the bead in his hand. A pitch-black luster appeared and flames spread out, enveloping it. After concealing it, Lin Mo kept it in the system space. [ Earth grade spiritual artifact, exquisite pearl replica. This spiritual artifact has been destroyed, but it contains a ball of flood dragon essence blood, which is relatively pure. ] [ Relative worth ¨C spirit-grade tier 7. ] ¡°Good stuff.¡± Lin Mo was slightly shocked. Zhen Gu was really lucky to have found such a good treasure. ¡°How much do you plan to sell it for?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°I want to exchange it for an earth attribute spirit-grade tier 1 cultivation technique. Ever since the Ancient Flame ruins appeared, the Yanhuang Divine Empire has not banned the circulation of spirit-grade martial arts and cultivation techniques.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I took out this treasure and got myself a cultivation technique in order to cultivate better.¡± The stall owner spread out his hands and said. He knew that the price he wanted was a little high, but he had no choice. If it was not a spirit-grade cultivation technique, he would not exchange it. ¡°Exchange it, you¡¯ll definitely make a profit.¡± Lin Mo took out the bead and returned it to Zhen Gu. A ball of Flood Dragon Essence Blood. Although it was not as valuable as the Flood Dragon Inner Core, it was still priceless. Chapter 282 - Ancient Sword of Desolation ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll buy this spiritual artifact.¡± Zhen Gu nodded. After a moment of thought, he took out a jade slip from his ring and tossed it to the vendor. The vendor received it and infused his soul energy into it. After studying it carefully, he was overjoyed. ¡°Thank you, young master. Thank you, young master.¡± Under the grateful gaze of the stall owner, Lin Mo and Zhen Gu left the area. ¡°Brother Lin, how do I use this thing?¡± After leaving, Zhen Gu asked impatiently. A spirit-grade 1 cultivation technique had been exchanged for a spiritual artifact, and it was still broken. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was a loss. ¡°This spiritual artifact is useless. It¡¯s just an accessory,¡± Lin Mo said. The exquisite pearl was an earth-grade spiritual artifact. It was definitely not weak. However, it was a pity that it could not escape the erosion of time. Now it is nothing but a pile of useless runes. ¡°Ah, then why did you ask me to buy it?¡± Zhen Gu was stunned. Since it was useless, why did Lin Mo say that it would not be a loss¡­ ¡°Go back and find a Nirvana stage powerhouse to break it open. There is a ball of powerful Demonic Beast Blood Essence inside. It¡¯s worth quite a lot.¡± Lin Mo said and asked Zhen Gu to go back and find someone to break it open. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± The two of them continued forward and gradually entered deeper into the trade fair. Lin Mo found quite a number of treasures inside. At least, he had gathered all the materials for the few ancient recipes that Bai Luo had given him. Although most of them were substitutes, the effects were also quite good. ¡°There¡¯s no need for resources to cultivate for the time being. You can keep them for now.¡± Lin Mo nodded and came to a lively place with Zhen Gu. Lin Mo saw something good at a glance. It was a pitch-black blade. However, the aura emitted from the blade was very mysterious. There was a kind of desolation-like aura faintly emitted from it. ¡°What is that?¡± Lin Mo asked the people around him. ¡°Brother, have you just arrived? This thing is not simple. It is said that it is a sharp sword forged from Xuanming iron. It probably has tens of thousands of years of history within it,¡± someone said. The owner of this sharp sword came from the Lu Jin Divine Empire. After hearing that the Yan Huang Divine Empire did not prohibit the circulation of resources, it rushed over after smelling the business opportunity. ¡°Lu Jin Divine Empire¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Bai Luo seemed to want to go to the Great Ancient Divine Empire and the Lu Jin Divine Empire. He did not expect to meet one of them here. ¡°Hehe, young man, have you taken a fancy to this sharp sword?¡± An old man rushed over when he heard the voice. He was the person in charge of the business group. He took down the pitch-black sharp sword and walked in front of Lin Mo, diligently introducing it to him. ¡°You call this a sharp sword?¡± Lin Mo was a little speechless. There were many potholes on the blade of this sword. If it was not for that aura, he was afraid that he would have treated it like a broken knife used to chop firewood¡­ ¡°Indeed, the edge of the sword is no longer there.¡± The surrounding people nodded in agreement. ¡°Young man, you don¡¯t understand. I found it in the ruins of the Lu Jin Divine Empire. It was placed on the main seat.¡± As the old man spoke, he asked the crowd to step aside to show Lin Mo its power. ¡°Ah Huang, come here.¡± He summoned a middle-aged man and raised a huge black iron shield. The spiritual energy in his hand was activated and morphed into the black blade. In an instant, the blade seemed to come alive as it emitted a bright light and slashed down. In an instant, the sword Qi surged and transformed into a black dragon with a desolate aura. The surrounding people were stunned. This sharp sword was indeed a treasure. It was too extraordinary. ¡°This sword qi indicates it¡¯s at least a seventh-tier spirit-grade treasure. It¡¯s too powerful.¡± Everyone was shocked by the old man¡¯s sword. ¡°It¡¯s really a good sword¡­¡± Lin Mo praised, but he was also a little hesitant because the sword was broken. ¡°Oh right, if we auction it off, won¡¯t we be able to get the complete sword¡­?¡± Lin Mo smiled. This thing had to be auctioned off. A complete and sharp sword might even reach the level of an earth-rank magical artifact. ¡°What a pity, this sword is broken.¡± Someone sighed. It was too much of a pity. This sword was abnormally mysterious. The old man had only used one-tenth of its power, yet that huge black iron shield had already been cut open. If it was a complete blade, this sword would probably take a person¡¯s life. However, this sword came from the primordial era. It was not impossible to repair it, but the materials were too difficult to find. They needed star ores, deep sea iron, and other precious materials. Furthermore, if one wanted to repair it, one would need to find a master forger. This was another huge expenditure. ¡°Although the repair is a huge task, it¡¯s not impossible. Little Brother, are you interested?¡± The old man smiled and handed the broken sword to Lin Mo, letting him experience it properly. ¡°Senior, can I use my own method to observe it?¡± Lin Mo said, planning to store it in the system space to see the sword¡¯s details. ¡°Sure, as long as you¡¯re interested.¡± The old man smiled. It could be seen that Lin Mo was truly curious. Not only that, there were also quite a number of people who rushed over. They felt its shockwave and they thought that an earth-shattering treasure had appeared. Lin Mo concealed everything and stored this sword in the system space. [ The Ancient Sword of Desolation was forged 100,000 years ago. It was forged with the rib bones of a dragon¡¯s offspring. After a thousand years of grinding, it absorbed a wisp of mother Qi from all living things and became a growth-type divine sword. ] There was no grade assigned to it, but it was a growth-type divine sword. One had to know that there were only a few growth-type spiritual artifacts in the entire Eastern Continent. One could see how precious they were. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because it absorbed this wisp of Mother Qi of all living things.¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. If this sword was sold, what grade would the complete ancient sword of desolation be? ¡°Senior, how much do you plan to sell this sword for?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°This old man doesn¡¯t want spirit stones. I want some weapons, martial arts, and cultivation techniques,¡± The old man said. He wanted to barter. ¡°Young master, can you take out that sword and let me have a look?¡± Someone in the surroundings asked. A woman dressed in white walked out and smiled politely at Lin Mo. ¡°Of course.¡± Lin Mo smiled. At the same time, he was secretly surprised. This woman¡¯s strength was very strong. She was at the 20th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°It¡¯s the Saintess of the Ancient Wind Holy Land, Xiao Yue.¡± Someone exclaimed and recognized this woman¡¯s identity. Hearing this, Lin Mo finally knew this person¡¯s identity. She was the ninth on the wind and cloud list, the Saintess of the Ancient Wind Holy Land, Xiao Yue. ¡°So it¡¯s saintess Xiao Yue. I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Zhen Gu went up to greet her. The surrounding people were also very enthusiastic and went up to chat with Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue and the others nodded. She took the Ancient Sword of Desolation and carefully observed it. ¡°Since Saintess Xiao Yue has taken a fancy to this sword blade, old man, why don¡¯t you tell us the specific price?¡± A few young men walked up from behind and said arrogantly. ¡°However, this young friend has already taken a fancy to this sword blade as well.¡± The old man also had plenty of experience, so he was not afraid of these people. The expressions of these people immediately changed. Their hands were already holding onto the weapon at their waist, ready to attack at any time. At this moment, another person walked over from afar. He wore a sky-blue long dress and had short hair. Lin Mo had heard of this person before. She was ranked 20th on the Board of Fame. She was the younger sister of the Thunder Sacred Land¡¯s Holy Son. She was known as the second genius of the Thunder Sacred Land. Her name was Ji Hong. ¡°Sister Xiao Yue, why would you take a fancy to this broken sword?¡± Ji Hong took the desolation ancient sword and looked at it non-stop. In the end, she came to the conclusion that the damage was too severe and could not be repaired. Chapter 283 - The Sixth Prince ¡°I happen to be studying some ancient techniques. It¡¯s much easier to have an ancient artifact to refer to,¡± Xiao Yue said with a smile, returning the ancient sword of desolation to the old man. Xiao Yue bowed, looked at Lin Mo, and said, ¡°Dao brother, this item is extremely useful to me, so Xiao Yue can only shamelessly fight over it.¡± ¡°Judging from that sword strike just now, this sword must have reached the level of a spirit-grade tier 4 magic tool.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯m willing to use a magic tool of the same value to exchange for it.¡± Xiao Yue was the first to open her bid, causing everyone to be shocked. This price was a little too much. It seemed like Holy Maiden Xiao Yue was determined to obtain this sword. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, I don¡¯t want to miss it. I¡¯ll use two scrolls of spirit-grade tier 4 martial arts to exchange for it.¡± Fortunately, Yan Rong had obtained quite a number of martial arts from the inheritance runes. Perhaps it was because all of these added up were not worth the ancient Divine Beast¡¯s remnant martial arts, so Yan Rong was able to continue comprehending them. Due to this, he also obtained quite a number of spirit-grade martial arts and cultivation methods. In terms of collection, even the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire might not be able to compare to him, let alone a Holy Land. ¡°I¡¯ll add another spirit-grade tier 5 spirit pill.¡± Xiao Yue said, not wanting to give up this ancient sword of desolation. ¡°I¡¯ll add another spirit-grade 5 magic tool.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t show any signs of weakness. He immediately took out the Absolute Snow Sword. As soon as the Absolute Snow Sword appeared, everyone was shocked beyond words. Just from its power alone, the aura that the Absolute Snow Sword emitted surpassed that of the Ancient Sword of Desolation. With such an exchange, Lin Mo was undoubtedly at a great disadvantage. However, he still wanted to make the exchange. This caused everyone¡¯s imaginations to run wild. One by one, they looked at the pitch-black blade. Unfortunately, no matter how much they looked at it, there was no movement from the blade. It just lay there quietly. ¡°This¡­¡± Xiao Yue frowned. Once the spirit-grade tier 5 Absolute Snow Sword appeared, she would have to take out her magic weapon. However, this price was a little too high. Furthermore, looking at Lin Mo¡¯s stance, he would not give up so easily. Raising the price not be good for either side¡­ ¡°Forget it, since brother Lin wants it, then I¡¯ll give up.¡± Xiao Yue shook her head and gave up on the bid. Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and passed the Absolute Snow Sword and two tier 4 spirit-grade martial arts manuals to the old man, keeping the Ancienty Sword of Desolationin his bag. [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the ancient desolation sword. This is a growth-type magic tool, and its value is immeasurable. ] [ The value of a growth-type magic weapon is immeasurable. If it is used in an auction, it will be treated as an ordinary spirit rank 4 weapon, and will be refunded according to a random multiple. ] The system notification appeared, further revealing the value of the ancient sword of desolation. At the same time, it also reminded Lin Mo that if it were to be auctioned off, this would be an ordinary rank 4 weapon¡­ ¡°No way, then I can only repair it myself?¡± Lin Mo was helpless. It was easier said than done to repair a weapon. ¡°Oh right, I seem to have the inheritance of a master blacksmith¡­¡± Only at this moment did Lin Mo remember that he still had a precious inheritance that he had discarded. There were also some spatial tool blueprints. Back then, he would occasionally obtain some blueprints from auctions. However, as he ignored them, he gradually stopped giving out these blueprints¡­ ¡°Looks like I still have to collect the materials needed to refine weapons.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and planned to leave with Zhen Gu to purchase more spirit herbs and artifact refinement materials. ¡°Fellow Daoist, aren¡¯t you going a little overboard? In order to target Saintess Xiao Yue, you¡¯re using a tier 5 spirit-grade tool to buy a tier 4 treasure. What does this mean?¡± At this moment, a young man walked over with many experts behind him. All of them were at least tier 25 in the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°Hehe, I clearly took a liking to it first. How is this my problem?¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. This fellow¡¯s tone made him dislike him very much. ¡°I just feel that you¡¯re targeting Saintess Xiao Yue and stealing her love.¡± The young man said, looking at Lin Mo with disdain. ¡°Young master is talking to you. Are You deaf?¡± Someone behind the young man said. ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you shout in front of me.¡± Lin Mo was extremely rude and said disdainfully. Everyone¡¯s expression changed. Even Xiao Yue who was about to leave was stunned. Had Lin Mo always been domineering, or did he not know who the other party was? ¡°Brother Lin, he is the sixth prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. He is not valued by the emperor and does not have the heart to seize power. However, he is arrogant and loves beauty. It seems that he is currently pursuing Saintess Xiao Yue.¡± Zhen Gu hurriedly transmitted his voice to Lin Mo. This sixth prince had heard that geniuses from all over the Ancient Flame City were gathering, so he had followed the fourth prince here. He did not expect to meet Lin Mo here. ¡°How dare you! Who is he?¡± The sixth prince was furious as he shouted at the surroundings. ¡°Reporting to the sixth prince, this person is called Lin Mo. he is ranked 15th on the Yanhuang Board of Fame,¡± said the person who had just opened his mouth. Hearing this, the sixth prince was stunned. He looked at Lin Mo carefully and smiled disdainfully once again. ¡°So he¡¯s my royal sister¡¯s subordinate. No wonder he¡¯s so unruly.¡± The sixth prince sneered and waved his hand toward the back. Instantly, more than a dozen powerhouses at tier-25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm walked out and surrounded Lin Mo in the middle. ¡°Break his legs and bring him back to the imperial palace. Treat it as a gift for my royal sister,¡± said the sixth Prince. He was also very unhappy with Jiang Xiyue. Logically speaking, he should be able to fight for power as a prince, but because he was ignorant and incompetent, he was abandoned by the emperor. After Jiang Xiyue displayed her amazing talent, people also placed high hopes on her. Many old ministers were willing to follow her. This also made the sixth prince very unhappy. All kinds of rumors were saying that he, the sixth prince, was not as good as a woman. Therefore, although he was out of contention for the throne, he would occasionally cause trouble for Jiang Xiyue, and he was never tired of it. ¡°I advise you not to make a move¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. In the system¡¯s warehouse, Lin Mo put the broken inner core that he had obtained into the body of the Origin Spirit Puppet. For a moment, the Origin Spirit Puppet underwent a huge transformation, and waves of enormous energy continuously spread. The Puppet¡¯s realm was also rising. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll show you fear. All of you, Attack! Break his legs and cripple his cultivation!¡± The sixth prince ordered. ¡°Kid, it¡¯s too late to regret now.¡± An old man took the lead and attacked, and powerful wave of spiritual Qi surged. The others also started to move, and the strongest among them was even at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°I heard that you have a puppet that you¡¯ve contributed to the sixth prince. I can plead on your behalf and only break one of your legs,¡± said the old man at the front with a ferocious smile. ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits¡­¡± Lin Mo had long prepared an attack to welcome him. He had no chance of winning against warrior at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He struck out with a move that caught him off guard and knocked him away. At the same time, a ray golden light surged behind Lin Mo¡¯s back. A pair of wings appeared and the golden light shone brightly. The Kun Peng Wings shook slightly and Lin Mo¡¯s figure instantly flew up, dodging everyone¡¯s attacks. However, in the next moment, the old man who was forced back by Lin Mo instantly appeared in front of him. A hand blade descended and ruthlessly hacked onto the Ancient Sword of Desolation. Lin Mo had no choice but to retreat. At the same time, purple runes surged under his feet and he walked in the air at an unusual pace. ¡°Qilin Steps¡­¡± Chapter 284 - Slaughter Everyone Using three ultimate techniques at once, even with the support of the devouring divine body, Lin Mo¡¯s face couldn¡¯t help but turn pale. However, the effect was surprisingly good. The target of his attack was precisely the sixth prince, who had a smug look on his face just a moment ago. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings flapped, and Lin Mo¡¯s figure instantly appeared in front of the sixth prince, retreating as purple light blossomed. A strand of divine light streaked past, and Lin Mo ruthlessly kicked the sixth Prince¡¯s chest. ¡°Audacious.¡± The experts behind were all enraged, nervously looking at the sixth prince who had been struck by Lin Mo¡¯s kick. ¡°This Lin Mo doesn¡¯t want to live anymore¡­¡± ¡°He dares to make a move against the sixth prince, isn¡¯t he too audacious?¡± The surrounding spectators were all extremely shocked, but none of them dared to make a move. This was because neither Lin Mo nor the sixth prince dared to offend either of them. ¡°Pu.¡± The Qilin Stepd moved Lim Mo four steps forward, and the last step was an extraordinary retreat. The purple divine light streaked past, and the sixth prince¡¯s figure brushed past the ground and flew out. With such a posture, a nearly thousand meter wide ravine was created on the ground. The sixth prince¡¯s defensive gear had originally been on his body, but under Lin Mo¡¯s kick, it was completely shattered. Not a single bit of it remained. ¡°A spirit-grade defensive talisman¡­¡± When the move ended, Lin Mo frowned. He had a bad feeling. Because when the armor on the sixth prince¡¯s chest was shattered, a talisman flashed and helped him block all of the attacks. The move that had gathered Lin Mo¡¯s strongest attack was blocked by a spirit-grade defensive amulet. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re really courting death.¡± An angry shout sounded. The old man at the back took the lead and rushed over, slapping a palm towards Lin Mo¡¯s back. ¡°Hmph.¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo snorted coldly. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings flapped and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When it reappeared, it was already in front of the sixth prince. ¡°I want to see how many talismans you have.¡±Lin Mo said angrily. Defensive talismans could only be used once. Regardless of whether they were shattered or not, they would dissipate after use. The Ancient Sword of Desolation appeared. Flames soared into the sky and sword qi soared as it mercilessly slashed towards the sixth prince. Seeing this, the sixth prince hurriedly stood up. The necklace on his neck glowed, forming a light barrier. Clang Lin Mo¡¯s sword slashed down on it, but it did not leave any traces. ¡°Tier nine personal protective gear¡­¡± After seeing it clearly, Lin Mo felt a trace of speechlessness. This sixth prince was truly scum. He was only at tier 2020 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even if he used his full strength, it was only equivalent to tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Meanwhile, the spirit-grade defensive amulet was able to withstand the attack of a Nirvana stage powerhouse. Yet, it was actually scared out of its wits by him using the Qilin Steps¡­ ¡°Troublesome¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. His figure retreated once again and circled around the person in mid-air. There were more than 20 powerhouses guarding the sixth prince¡¯s side. Each of them was at least level 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The person in the lead was even more powerful. He already had the strength of tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Stage. If Lin Mo had not controlled the Kun Peng Wings and burst out with the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed, he would probably have been captured today. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s situation was not optimistic. He opened his God Devouring Body to defend. Faced with a siege, he had no choice but to flee. ¡°Elder Li, what are you doing? Hurry up and kill him. There¡¯s no need to keep him alive,¡± The sixth prince said angrily from below. It had been so long since he had taken down Lin Mo, and he was incomparably furious. Moreover, because he had been attacked by Lin Mo, he had lost three defensive supreme treasures. Since he had been frightened by Lin Mo¡¯s strange footsteps, he had used up his only spirit rank defensive talisman. This made him extremely unwilling. If he didn¡¯t not kill Lin Mo, it would be difficult to dispel the hatred in his heart. ¡°Yes, Your Highness.¡± The old man called Elder Li nodded. Looking at the trapped Lin Mo, he raised his hand and threw out a formation disk. This formation disk emitted a mysterious light. It was a trapping formation, reaching the ninth rank. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze turned cold. Seeing that the formation was about to be activated, he knew was about to be captured. At this critical moment, Lin Mo found the right opportunity and used the Qilin Steps once again. In front of him, a guard saw that Lin Mo was about to be enveloped by the formation, so he relaxed a little. Lin Mo also seized this opportunity, and a wisp of purple divine light appeared along with his steps. He took four steps forward, and the divine light was finished, hitting the guard¡¯s body. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice, which was like the voice of the GRIM reaper, reverberated in his ears. The guard opened his mouth, but he only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he had lost his life force. ¡°Oh my god, he killed a tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm warrior in an instant.¡± Everyone was shocked and marveled at Lin Mo¡¯s methods. He had actually escaped from the encirclement once again. However, just as everyone thought that Lin Mo was planning to escape, he directly charged towards the sixth prince. The ancient sword of desolation pointed forward and went straight for the sixth prince¡¯s throat. At the critical moment, the sixth prince took out another defensive talisman. It was a level 8 talisman. Although it was broken by Lin Mo, it still managed to block it for a while. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not want to continue fighting. He turned around and retreated, allowing Elder Li to pounce on empty air once again. ¡°Bastard, you piece of trash. Hurry up.¡± The sixth prince was filled with anger. He immediately slapped elder Li in the face, causing everyone to frown. ¡°Yes, this subordinate is incompetent. I was unable to protect the sixth prince well.¡± Elder Li did not dare to retort. He immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness. ¡°Ah!! ¡± In the distance, a miserable cry sounded. Lin Mo was still at the scene. Another guard of the sixth prince had been killed by Lin Mo.. The Ancient Sword of Desolation was stained with blood, as if it had come to life. Within the aura of desolation, there was a trace of desire for blood. ¡°Bastard, why aren¡¯t you going? Kill him for this prince.¡± The sixth prince was furious and asked elder Li to continue attacking. At this time, Lin Mo did not have the slightest bit of fear and threw out a puppet with a swing of his hand. The Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s Dantian was still suffused with a large amount of spirit energy. That broken inner core had not been completely absorbed, but even so, the origin spirit puppet¡¯s realm had been raised to tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Although there was still a huge gap between it and the 31st level, blocking it for a moment was still possible. Without elder Li¡¯s interference, the remaining people were mostly at the 25th to 26th rank of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Facing Lin Mo, these people were no different from paper. ¡°Devouring body, open.¡± Lin Mo growled in his heart. A black hole opened up with him as the center and kept spreading out, trapping these people. ¡°What is this? A domain?¡± Everyone was shocked. They saw Lin Mo use this move once again. At such a close distance, they still could not even slee what it was. Lin Mo did not waste any more words. The Ancien sword of Desolation released a divine light, and like a death god, it continued to reap the lives of these people. The scene was too shocking. Everyone at the trade fair noticed this, and everyone watched as Lin Mo massacred all those people. In the end, the guards around the sixth prince were all killed by Lin Mo. At this point, Lin Mo¡¯s face finally turned pale. The consumption of spiritual energy was too great. He took out a spirit pill from the system warehouse and swallowed it. He activated the god Devouring Art and quickly devoured the huge amount of spiritual energy. In the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy he had consumed recovered once again. He stared at everyone in a daze. ¡°Sixth prince, who else can save you now?¡± Lin Mo sneered and slowly walked over. 2 Chapter 285 - Trading Spirit Stones for Life ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± The sixth prince looked at Lin Mo in terror. He could see the killing intent in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. It was a genuine. ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± Lin Mo laughed sinisterly. He raised the Ancient Sword of Desolation and slashed down. ¡°Clang.¡± The pitch-black blade was blocked, and a talisman appeared in front of the sixth prince, emitting light. Seeing this scene, the corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. With so many defensive treasures, just how afraid of death was this guy? ¡°Alright, I want to see how many you have left.¡± Lin Mo raised his eyebrows. After the defensive talisman disappeared, the long sword slashed down again. He did not even use any spiritual energy. Just like that, the sixth prince activated another defensive talisman. ¡°And it¡¯s a level nine one¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He turned around and was also shocked by the scene behind him. Although the Origin Spirit Puppet had advanced to the Tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the gap in the last few stages of the Dragon Transformation Realm was very big. In such a short while, the Origin Spirit Puppet had already been beaten until it was riddled with holes. If it was not for the inner core in its Dantian continuously providing spirit energy, it would have been beaten until it fell apart long ago. ¡°Kid, if you dare to touch the sixth prince, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death,¡± Elder Li threatened. At the same time, his attacks became more and more ruthless, wanting to tear down the Origin Spirit Puppet. ¡°See if I dare.¡±Lin Mo curled his lips. At this time, he still dared to play such a threatening trick. After the tier 9 defensive talisman on the sixth prince¡¯s body dissipated, Lin Mo did not hesitate and slashed down with his sword. This time, the ancient desolation sword was not blocked. ¡°Pu.¡± The sound of a long sword entering one¡¯s body rang out, causing everyone to panic. This was the sixth prince. Was Lin Mo really not afraid of being retaliated against for doing this? Could it be that the eighth Prince had obtained an important position from the emperor and could even protect his subordinates? While everyone was thinking about this, Lin Mo also smiled. Was this fellow finally out of defensive talismans? ¡°Wait, Lin Mo, spare my life. I can give you anything you want.¡± The sixth prince could not care less about his left shoulder being pierced as he hurriedly begged for mercy. ¡°I can give you spirit stones. How about one million, one million middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s brows jumped. Did this fellow not fight for power? How could he have so much wealth¡­ ¡°No, 1.5 million. I¡¯ll give you 1.5 million middle-grade spirit stones and a ninth-grade attack talisman.¡± The sixth prince said anxiously. This was one of the few treasures he had on him. Hearing this, Lin Mo jumped in fright and subconsciously took a step back. His face was full of vigilance as he looked at the sixth prince and said, ¡°Since you have a level nine offensive talisman, why don¡¯t you use it?¡± The sixth prince looked as if he had eaten a dead fly as he said in a very uncomfortable manner. ¡°Big Brother, your speed is too terrifying. Even Elder Li can¡¯t catch up to you. I wouldn¡¯t dare¡­¡± From the start, the sixth prince had indeed planned to use a ninth grade talisman to attack. However, when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s ghostly speed, he became afraid. However, he knew that if the sneak attack did not succeed, then he might really die. ¡°1,500,000 mid-grade spirit stones. This price isn¡¯t bad, we can make a deal.¡± Just as Lin Mo was hesitating, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded in his ear. He raised his head and saw that on a high platform in front of him, Qianqian was looking in his direction with a smile on her face. Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded. He had never really thought of killing the sixth prince. In reality, what made Lin Mo act ruthlessly was not the sixth prince¡¯s actions, but Qianqian¡¯s voice. When the conflict erupted, Qianqian had sent a voice transmission to tell Lin Mo that other than the sixth prince, no one else had to show mercy. Even when facing the sixth prince, she only needed to spare his life. There was no need to show any mercy. Although he did not understand why Qianqian would say such a thing, Lin Mo still did it. That was how it ended up like this. The sixth prince thought that Lin Mo really intended to kill him, so he actually bid 1.5 million, along with a 9th rank attack talisman. This result made Lin Mo very satisfied. The 9th rank talisman could be auctioned off on the spot. As for the spirit stones, he could split them with Qianqian. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already called out the price, then I¡¯ll let you off.¡± Lin Mo put away the Ancient Sword of Desolation. Under everyone¡¯s astonished gazes, he extended his hand toward the sixth prince. In the distance, Elder Li¡¯s battle with the Origin Spirit Puppet gradually stopped. ¡°Alright¡­ Alright, I¡¯ll give it to you now.¡± The sixth prince felt as if he had been pardoned. He rummaged through his storage ring and finally took out a cloth bag. It was a top-grade rank-9 talisman. With its explosive power, it could kill someone at the tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. This result made Lin Mo very happy. He did not expect that the sixth prince was actually here to give him a treasure. ¡°Wait.¡± A group of guards surged into the crowd and surrounded Lin Mo. on the high platform, a man dressed in light yellow robes walked out. ¡°Fourth prince.¡± Seeing the guards surrounding him, Lin Mo did not say anything and took the attack talismans and spirit stones. Seeing Lin Mo take them, the sixth prince was overjoyed. He called Elder Li, who was in the distance, to leave. Lin Mo did not stop him. He raised his head to look at the fourth prince and said, ¡°Fourth Prince, why are you doing this?¡± The scene was a little cold. No one dared to speak. Even some of the powerhouses at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm were silent. ¡°What a domineering method. He actually dares to demand compensation from the members of the royal family¡­¡± The fourth prince took a step forward and descended from the high platform. As he approached step by step, a powerful aura was released from his body. This fourth prince¡¯s strength was at least at tier 23 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, his combat strength was not weak. If one were to really talk about it, it was enough to rank on the ranking board. However, for some unknown reason, there was no record of the fourth prince on it. There were only two princes on the ranking board, and that was the first crown prince Jiang Cheng, and the sixth prince Jiang Xiyue. From the looks of it, the princes who were qualified to fight for power seemed to have a certain level of strength in terms of talent. ¡°Although the sixth prince¡¯s actions are wrong, your actions are also a little arrogant, right?¡± The fourth prince said. Lin Mo looked ahead coldly and did not say anything. The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat cold. The fourth Prince had appeared, and he even wanted to seek justice for the sixth prince. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. You¡¯re the one that seems quite arrogant,¡± Lin Mo suddenly said. He did not choose to keep a low profile and remained arrogant. Even though he knew that the other party was a prince, he still refused to give in. The fourth prince stared at Lin Mo and carefully analyzed him. He had also seen Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength just now. Lin Mo¡¯s realm was obviously higher than his, yet he felt that he was inferior. However, what really interested him was not only the spirit stones that Lin Mo had just obtained but also the martial arts that Lin Mo had displayed. He had already seen that the reason why Lin Mo was able to instantly kill a tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse was because of the profundity of the martial arts. According to his estimations, he was at least at the seventh rank of the spirit-grade. If it was in the past, the imperial family would definitely dispatch Nirvana realm powerhouses to capture him. Chapter 286 - Full Determination ¡°Hehe, the world is so big. There are always some people who feel that they have obtained some inheritance and are able to look down on others, not knowing that compared in the entirety of the Eastern Continent, they¡¯re just ants.¡± The fourth prince said as he stared at Lin Mo. ¡°These words do make some sense, especially for those who rely on their deep background to be unbridled. In reality, they are nothing,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. The mockery in his words was written all over his face. The fourth prince¡¯s expression changed. Lin Mo¡¯s mockery made him extremely angry. This was especially so since his words were meant to threaten Lin Mo. Now, he was being mocked instead. With a gloomy expression, he said, ¡°Massacring people in public at my trade fair. Do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± ¡°They wanted to kill me. I was just defending myself,¡± Lin Mo said nonchalantly. Then, he thought of something and continued, ¡°Speaking of which, fourth prince, your trade fair isn¡¯t safe at all. ¡°I came in with an invitation letter and tried to compete with others for the price. In the end, I was harassed instead. You only brought your people over after the fight. ¡°In my opinion, don¡¯t hold such a big event if you¡¯re not capable of controlling it. If you can¡¯t control the situation at that time, it doesn¡¯t matter if you lose face. It won¡¯t be good if the royal family is also reviled by others,¡± Lin Mo said casually. These words completely disregarded the fourth prince. When the crowd heard this, they immediately took a step back and their expressions changed. This Lin Mo was too bold. He actually ridiculed the fourth prince in such a way. His words were sharp. ¡°You¡¯re courting death,¡± The fourth prince shouted. His eyes contained boundless killing intent. ¡°With just you? If you want to kill me, you can try,¡± Lin Mo said with a cold smile. He was not afraid at all. The entire place was completely silent. Everyone was shocked in their hearts. Lin Mo was even more powerful than they had imagined. Not only did he mock the fourth prince, but both parties also had daggers drawn. ¡°Clang.¡± The fourth prince was furious on the spot. He was no longer willing to endure it. His eyes widened in anger and he immediately began a big battle with Lin Mo. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were ice-cold. He stood in the distance and did not move. He raised his hand and grabbed at the fourth prince¡¯s longsword. A powerful humming sound rang out from the collision, and everyone was shocked beyond words. They had not expected Lin Mo to be so powerful, and the fourth prince was not simple either. The battle between the two had yet to determine the victor. ¡°Use your bare hands to receive a spirit rank weapon.¡± Everyone cried out in surprise. Lin Mo¡¯s palm and the blade of the sword continuously rubbed against each other during the collision, causing sparks to fly in all directions. Soon, this place was filled with symbols, and an earth-shaking aura erupted. Everyone retreated one after another, including the guards surrounding this place. The collision between these two people was too powerful. They had used such a powerful force right from the start, causing the entire place to be in turmoil. ¡°Kacha.¡± In the next moment, the fourth Prince¡¯s Longsword actually broke apart. A spirit grade weapon was broken just like that. ¡°Monster.¡± Everyone was shocked. Destroying a spirit grade weapon was something that only a nirvana stage cultivator could do. How did Lin Mo do it. The fourth prince roared in anger. He ignored the fact that his weapon was shattered. Golden Light blossomed from his palm as he displayed his martial arts. He pushed his palms horizontally, wanting to give Lin Mo a fatal blow. This was a spiritual grade martial art. It was almost the strongest attack that he could display. He wanted to give Lin Mo a fatal blow. However, Lin Mo only sneered at this. A flame appeared on his palm, and a vermillion bird faintly appeared on his palm. ¡°Ruthless.¡± Immemorial vermillion bird incomplete technique, cloud piercing four destruction A terrifying undulation spread out, and all of the spirit rank weapons that Lin Mo had shattered in the surroundings were drawn in, surrounding the two of them. It was incomparably mysterious. Seeing this, the corners of the fourth Prince¡¯s mouth curled up into a cold smile. Even though he felt that Lin Mo¡¯s attack was like a volcano, filled with an oppressive and violent aura. ¡°Bang.¡± The fourth prince was sent flying by Lin Mo¡¯s Slap, and the power of the cloud piercing four destruction landed solidly on the fourth Prince¡¯s body. Everyone present was shocked beyond words, including the fourth prince, who had a cold smile on his face. Facing Lin Mo¡¯s attack, even though he had pulled back in time and retreated, avoiding the fatal attack. However, he was still injured by that terrifying aura. The power contained within the four cloud piercers was too terrifying, and it could destroy anything. ¡°Bang.¡± The fourth prince was sent flying, and he crashed into the high platform behind him. Blood dripped from his mouth, and the high platform behind him exploded in the next moment. This result was shocking. Lin Mo¡¯s palm strike was too powerful and overbearing¡­ ¡°That¡¯s not right. The fourth Prince wouldn¡¯t be so rash¡­¡±Qianqian frowned as she jumped off the high platform with some people. It was not just him. Many people who knew the fourth prince frowned. The fourth Prince¡¯s current status had a lot to do with his forbearance. His current performance was too abnormal. In the arena, Lin Mo was also frowning. The fourth prince was so easy to deal with, yet he was provoked into a duel with him? ¡°Wait, these fragments of the blade?¡± Lin Mo suddenly thought of something. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the fragments surrounding the blade. His soul power detected the presence of runes above it. ¡°Devour God body, Bloom.¡± Lin Mo made a prompt decision. The black hole of the devour God body spread out, instantly trapping a fragment of the blade. Following that, Lin Mo kept the piece of the sword blade into the system¡¯s space. Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded out, giving Lin Mo a fright. [ spirit rank rank 1 sword blade fragment, was not it shattered by a Nirvana stage powerhouse a while ago? ] [ the sword blade fragment is engraved with a special technique, Fulldetermination. ] [ Full Determination. It can record all the runes in the vicinity, allowing cultivators to discover their inadequacies in using martial arts. ] The three pieces of news almost scared Lin Mo to death. Full Determination. He did not think that there would be such a magical technique that could record the runes of the caster. Did that not mean that his four Cloud Piercing Four Spirits had already been recorded? It was only at this moment that Lin Mo understood that the fourth prince¡¯s ultimate goal for all his abnormal actions was his primordial divine beast incomplete technique. Although the fourth prince did not know what technique it was, it must be very powerful for Lin Mo to be able to instantly erupt with the power of a tier 27 Dragon Transformation Realm user. ¡°So this is the goal.¡± Lin Mo sneered as his devouring God body continued to spread out, enveloping all the sword blades in an attempt to collect them. ¡°What?¡± The fourth prince in the distance was startled. He did not expect Lin Mo to notice something was wrong so quickly. He did not dare to stay any longer. Raising his hand, he threw out a palm strike to stop Lin Mo from obtaining the blade fragment. ¡°Stop him.¡± At this point, the fourth prince did not care anymore. He directly ordered his guards to attack. For a moment, the scene became chaotic. Although he was restricted by the devouring God Body Domain, he still charged in. ¡°Since you guys are courting death, then don¡¯t blame me¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered. He took out the tier 9 attack talisman he had just obtained. After activating it, he threw it out. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± The fourth prince was shocked. It was not easy for him to record a powerful martial art, but he did not expect Lin Mo to discover it so quickly¡­ ¡°Rumble.¡± A terrifying explosion rang out. The fourth prince and Lin Mo were sent flying at the same time. They were sent flying far away. Meanwhile, the fourth prince¡¯s guards had also suffered heavy casualties. Most importantly, the blades of the swords had also been destroyed, and so had the records of the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. Chapter 287 - The Origin of Great Chaos The fourth prince¡¯s plan had failed. His face was as dark as water, and the anger from before had disappeared from his face. ¡°You really surprised me¡­¡± However, a few seconds later, the fourth prince¡¯s expression did not change as he stared at Lin Mo and said. ¡°You¡¯ve also opened my eyes.¡± Lin Mo sighed. As expected, those who could become princes were not to be trifled with. This was the fourth prince¡¯s performance in front of others. More than half of the guards had been killed or injured, and they had missed out on a world-shaking cultivation technique. Yet, they were still standing here without a change in expression. With such shrewdness, it was no wonder that they were listed as formidable enemies by Jiang Xiyue. At this moment, several figures appeared. Their powerful auras spread out, shocking everyone around them. ¡°Hehe, the younger generation is indeed formidable. the eighth prince has discerning eyes, and he has really found a genius¡­¡± A voice came from among those figures. It seemed to be a compliment, but one could not feel his emotions. ¡°Senior Luo.¡± Lin Mo raised his head and found Luo Haoyu¡¯s figure among these people. He did not look in his direction, but only casually glanced at him. However, there was a smile on his face, and everything was said in silence. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the fourth prince left just like that, to pay his respects to the few elders who had just appeared. The sixth prince also followed, not even looking at Lin Mo the entire time. The so-called crime of offending the prince was not mentioned at all. It was fine if it was the sixth prince, after all, he did not have the qualifications to fight for the throne. However, the fourth prince was different. He was someone who might rule the Yanhuang Divine Empire in the future. He was injured by Lin Mo and even killed so many guards. How could he let it go just like that¡­ Lin Mo left and did not walk with Zhen Gu anymore, afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding. However, he soon met someone he knew. The Saintess of the Purple Cloud Holy Land had arrived and was chatting with Lin Mo. The trade fair was still going on. Lin Mo and the Saintess of the Purple Cloud Holy Land were searching for treasures along the way. Along the way, Lin Mo gained a lot. He had collected all kinds of precious spiritual herbs, and the Saintess of the Purple Cloud Holy Land had also expressed her intention to come. She wanted to join Jiang Xiyue just like the Su family, hoping that Lin Mo would pass on the message. Lin Mo naturally would not refuse those who had worked with him before, so he agreed on the spot. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll tell his Highness,¡± Lin Mo patted his chest and promised. ¡°Young master Lin seems to have a very good relationship with His Highness the eighth prince, and he¡¯s being protected like this,¡± the Purple Cloud Holy Saintess covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed but did not say anything. He once again searched for some treasures and released the news that an auction would be held in five days. He then left in a carefree manner. Since the auction was about to begin, there was no need for him to stay. After leaving the auction, Zhen Gu came looking for Lin Mo again. He said that he was here for a collaboration. ¡°Brother Lin, I have some treasures here. I would like to trouble you to auction them. What do you think?¡± Zhen gu smiled and handed over a spatial bag. Lin Mo took it and did not need to open it. The shocking nature essence inside had already let him know that this treasure was not any less than his own collection. ¡°Brother Zhen, feel free to speak if you have something to say.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not refuse. ¡°Brother Lin, do you know about the ancient prophecy?¡± Zhen Gu asked. He walked with Lin Mo and told him some news, which attracted Lin Mo¡¯s attention. Now, all the experts with a bit of strength were on his side. Purple Cloud Holy Land, Qinghuai Holy Land, Yuan Yang Holy Land, and so on. Even Kong Xiu, the leader of the Peacock Spirit clan, let go of the pain of losing his son and leaned toward Lin Mo, intentionally or unintentionally. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Can you tell me more about it?¡± Lin Mo was a little curious. ¡°I heard that the entire Eastern Continent was a whole during the ancient times. There were no other forces,¡± Zhen Gu said. Lin Mo, who had always been calm, could not help but be stunned. The Eastern Continent was so big. Could anyone really unify it? Zhen Gu¡¯s handsome face revealed a smile as if he had expected this expression from Lin Mo. ¡°Are you shocked by this news?¡± Lin Mo nodded and said honestly, ¡°I¡¯m indeed shocked. To be able to rule a continent, how powerful must one be?¡± ¡°However, the chaos is also related to this,¡± Zhen Gu said. This was yet another piece of shocking news. Could it be that the faction that once ruled over this place was going to bring chaos to this place? ¡°It¡¯s said that that faction once wanted to prevent the chaos from happening, but in a single day, they were completely annihilated. Later on, someone predicted that when the chaos appeared, that faction would be the first to bring about a devastating blow to the Eastern Continent.¡± Zhen gu said honestly, telling Lin Mo the news that he knew. ¡°Why is that? Did that faction leave anything behind?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°We don¡¯t know about that, we can only wait for it to happen,¡± Zhen Gu said. ¡°And the place where the Yanhuang Divine Empire is located is the origin of the chaos.¡± Another piece of news shocked Lin Mo. the Yanhuang Divine Empire was actually the origin of the chaos. ¡°I don¡¯t know the specific reason, but this is also the reason why the Yanhuang Divine Empire seized all the cultivation resources in the territory,¡± said Zhen Gu. Among the four great divine empires, although the Yanhuang Divine Empire¡¯s forces were weak, the imperial family¡¯s forces were the strongest. ¡°The Yan Huang Divine Empire wanted to protect themselves in the chaos, so they made such a move, causing countless people suffering.¡± Zhen Gu shook his head. However, he was not qualified to comment on such a move. ¡°Why don¡¯t we migrate?¡± Lin Mo asked. If staying here would cause chaos, then they could just migrate. With the strength of the Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s imperial family, they could not go anywhere. As long as they did not provoke any powerful forces, they could take root anywhere they wanted. ¡°How could they bear to do that? After all, with the chaos, there will be endless benefits,¡± said Zhen Gu with a smile. The Great Yan Divine Empire had been doing business all year round, accumulating countless resources and cultivating many powerful experts. The Great Ancient and Lu Jin Divine Empires had been conserving their energy, waiting for the best opportunity to advance. Since the Yanhuang Divine dynasty was in the right place at the right time, they naturally wanted to make good use of this advantage. How could they give up? ¡°This chaos might allow the eastern continent to give birth to an existence that surpasses the nirvana realm.¡± ¡°Immortal Ascension, immortality of the body, immortality of the soul.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. There was such an opportunity in this chaos. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Nirvana realm was already a legend. In the Eastern Continent, experts in the Nirvana realm were still relatively common. However, it was a little difficult to produce powerhouses that could surpass the Nirvana Realm. Resources were the most serious problem. ¡°How can I surpass the Nirvana Realm?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had always been curious about this question. ¡°It¡¯s a little redundant for you to ask me this question. How would I know?¡± Zhen gu rolled his eyes. Forget about him, perhaps the entire Eastern Continent would not be able to answer Lin Mo¡¯s question. ¡°If only Bai Luo was still around¡­¡± Lin mo frowned. Bai Luo had said that she was not from the Eastern Continent, so she should be able to obtain some information. However, he did not know where to find Bai Luo now. ¡°Sigh, forget it, let¡¯s take it one step at a time.¡± Chapter 288 - Sneak Attack Lin Mo returned to the auction house. Zhen Gu stayed for a moment before leaving. He had already said everything he wanted to say. His words left Lin Mo speechless for a long time. This news was too shocking. It was too chaotic. The thoughts of the four great divine empires had surpassed the Nirvana stage and ascended to the immortal stage¡­ Lin Mo was unable to digest it all at once. He sat alone in the courtyard, deep in thought. The moment he raised his head, his soul energy sensed that something was amiss. He was being targeted by someone, and the other party¡¯s aura was extremely concealed. He was not really afraid. After all, he still had many tricks up his sleeves. The only thing he was worried about was the appearance of a Nirvana stage expert. Luo Haoyu was currently at the city lord¡¯s mansion, and it would take some time for him to rush over. Facing a Nirvana stage expert, it would be very difficult for Lin Mo to protect Lin Die and the rest¡­ A gentle breeze blew past and the temperature in the courtyard gradually dropped. In the next moment, formation flags appeared and sealed the area. In an instant, the formation was formed and trapped Lin Mo in the courtyard. ¡°You rat. come out now.¡± Lin Mo shouted angrily. He pointed his Ancient Sword of Desolation forward and slashed at the other party. ¡°Hehe, young man, you have some ability. Hand over all your profound martial arts. I will give you a quick death.¡± A middle-aged man descended from the sky. This person wore a Daoist robe and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. He had the appearance of a celestial being. ¡°Is it the fourth prince¡¯s people, or the sixth prince, or is it the Yuan Yang Holy Land?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Kid, even you know that you¡¯ve offended many people.¡± The middle-aged Daoist¡¯s eyes were ice-cold, and his killing intent surged. ¡°There¡¯s no other way. These troublesome flies are coming one after another. I really can¡¯t guess. Why don¡¯t you reveal your family?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s tongue was extremely vicious, and his words were merciless. ¡°You¡¯re too arrogant. Today, you¡¯ll have to pay the price.¡± ¡°So what if you¡¯re talented? If you offend someone you shouldn¡¯t offend, you¡¯ll only fall in the face of a genius. I¡¯ll strangle you in your youth and let you know the cruelty of the world,¡± The middle-aged Taoist priest said coldly. He admitted that Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was very strong, but he was too arrogant and did not know how to restrain himself. Sooner or later, something would happen to him. His realm was very high, it was tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, which was much higher than Lin Mo. he felt that he could suppress Lin Mo. At the same time, he took out a talisman. It was the yin suppression talisman, which could suppress puppets. Obviously, he had spent a lot of effort dealing with Lin Mo. not only did he use the formation to seal this place, but he also used the yin suppression talisman to suppress puppets. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. There¡¯s no need for a puppet to deal with you.¡± Lin Mo looked at him from the corner of his eye. The middle-aged Daoist was instantly enraged by the fact that the person he looked down on was looking down on him. His aura was instantly released. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± The middle-aged Daoist instantly made his move. Spiritual energy erupted from his body, and a powerful force brought about gusts of wind. This caused Lin Mo to be slightly shocked. He did not expect this fellow to look so weak. He did not expect him to be so powerful when he made his move. He quickly dodged and the Kun Peng Wings appeared. His speed increased explosively. No matter how powerful the middle-aged Daoist¡¯s attack was, it would be difficult for him to even touch him. ¡°There¡¯s a trace of dao within your body. Not bad, you have some talent too.¡± Lin Mo praised as he saw some clues from the other party¡¯s attack. If one wanted to step into the Nirvana stage, the first condition was to have Dao within one¡¯s body. Moreover, it could not be too little. Only those who had truly advanced to this realm could be called experts. Of course, even if one was in the Nirvana realm, one¡¯s understanding of Dao principles would not be too high. After all, Dao principles were the strongest method in this world. One could become an expert just by skimming the surface. It was already not bad to be able to have some understanding of Dao principles below the Nirvana realm. ¡°Bang.¡± After a loud sound, the pavilion that Lin Mo was in exploded instantly, creating a huge hole below. The spiritual energy spread and lifted up the grass below. One could imagine how dense the spiritual energy was with the strength of a tier 28 Dragon Transformation Realm individual. However, even so, Lin Mo was unharmed. He even received the opponent¡¯s attack head-on during the fight. He was a genius, and the Dao in his body had long been nurtured. His level of comprehension could even be compared to an ordinary Nirvana stage cultivator. Even if he faced someone whose cultivation level far exceeded his, he could still compete with him. ¡°Is that all you have? You c an¡¯t kill me with that,¡± Lin Mo ridiculed. When the middle-aged Daoist heard this, he was extremely furious. He originally thought that he would be able to easily take down Lin Mo under the suppression of his cultivation level. He did not expect that he would not even be able to touch a single hair on Lin Mo¡¯s head. Now that he was being ridiculed like this, his expression turned ugly. ¡°Burning Sky Ancient Flame.¡± He shouted loudly as his entire body emitted a fiery light. Wisps of runes flickered as his speed increased by a large margin. The horsetail whisk carried flames as it charged toward Lin Mo. This was the usage of the Dao principles. It was a move that Lin Mo often used in the past. This was because it allowed him to unleash even more powerful moves, even surpassing tier 9 martial arts. However, ever since Lin Mo had learned a spirit-grade martial art, he no longer used Dao principles. Instead, he used them together with martial arts. At this point, after obtaining the ancient divine beast remnant technique, he had no way of binding dao principles into it. As such, he had shelved this usage method. Facing such a move, Lin Mo did not retreat. He circulated the Soul Devouring Art, and the Flame Dao was drawn out. The Soul Devouring Body Domain opened, and a huge amount of spiritual energy surged into Lin Mo¡¯s body. At the same time, the middle-aged Daoist¡¯s attack was also absorbed. It was like a bottomless pit, crazily devouring everything. The middle-aged Daoist¡¯s expression changed. Even though he had long investigated Lin Mo¡¯s true powers, he could not help but sigh. To be so proficient in the use of Dao principles, he was indeed worthy of being hailed as a peerless genius. However, if such a person was already an enemy, it was best not to let him grow any stronger. Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful, but reality was cruel. Lin Mo opened his God Devouring Body and absorbed countless amounts of heaven and earth spiritual energy. Using his own Dao principles to resist, he was not at a disadvantage at all. ¡°Boom.¡± The middle-aged Daoist priest saw that it was difficult for him to take down Lin Mo. . Helplessly, he took out a talisman. This was actually a level 9 attack talisman. Unfortunately, Lin Mo had already prepared beforehand. Before the talisman exploded, he had already used the Kun Peng Wings to retreat. In an instant, a terrifying energy fluctuation was transmitted over. Terrifying ripples erupted within the formation, and the formation flags in the surroundings trembled incessantly. Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared. His body was charred black in many places, and he looked rather miserable. There were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. However, he also felt the pressure. He did not know if the other party still had any offensive talismans. If he did, he would be in a very precarious position. Soon after, a vermilion bird appeared behind him. Its entire body turned scarlet red, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flames spread out in all directions. The Vermilion Bird did not bother to hide at all. It carried the divine flames and charged toward the middle-aged Daoist. ¡°Boom.¡± The middle-aged Taoist priest¡¯s horsetail whisk was shattered. The residual power of the Vermilion Bird did not decrease as it crashed into his body, causing the right side of his body to explode. This scene was rather tragic. ¡°What level of martial arts is this?¡± He was extremely shocked as he looked at Lin Mo. This was only a single strike, yet his horsetail whisk was shattered and he was directly injured. One had to know that he was a powerhouse at Tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Moreover, he was filled with Dao principles, yet he was actually unable to block Lin Mo¡¯s strike¡­ Seeing that Lin Mo was prepared to continue attacking, the middle-aged Taoist priest was afraid and actually planned to escape. Chapter 289 - Misfortune in the East Lin Mo naturally did not plan to leave anyone alive after using the incomplete technique of the Primordial Vermilion Bird, Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. He did not hide it at all just now. Someone could tell that this was the ancient Divine Beast Vermilion Bird with just a little description from this middle-aged Taoist priest. Therefore, after experimenting with the unconcealed Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, Lin Mo decided to kill him. At this moment, he was extremely excited. After experimenting with the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits that had completely exploded, this kind of power gave him a fright. At this moment, he did not dare to let this person go. Purple light appeared beneath his feet, and a strand of divine light moved along with his footsteps. Taking four steps forward, Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared above the middle-aged Daoist priest, and he stomped down. Following a series of shocking fluctuations, the middle-aged Daoist priest¡¯s body exploded. Before he died, his eyes widened. His face was filled with disbelief. He did not expect Lin Mo to have hidden such a terrifying killing move. ¡°Eh, you¡¯re not the only one¡­¡± After the middle-aged Daoist died, the formation also dissipated. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was extremely sharp. Just as the formation dissipated, he sensed that there was still an ambush nearby. In other words, the scene of him performing the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, Qilin Steps, and ¡°Kun Peng Wings¡± was clearly seen. ¡°Origin Spirit Puppet, come out.¡± After dispersing the yin suppression talisman, Lin Mo activated the origin spirit puppet and began to chase after the person in the dark. A burst of blood light blossomed, and the person cried out in pain. He fell from the dark and was heavily injured. Lin Mo walked over and saw the person¡¯s appearance clearly. ¡°Cang Xuan Holy Land¡¯s Holy Maiden, Han Yue¡­¡± Lin Mo opened his mouth and recognized the person¡¯s identity. He did not expect the Holy Maiden of the Cangxuan Holy Land to be present personally. This made him very surprised. ¡°You should know that a tier 28 Dragon Transformation Realm martial artist can¡¯t kill me. Why did you follow me?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Could it be that there were even more powerful people here as well¡­ As his soul power spread out, Lin Mo searched carefully. Other than the few people who were killed by the origin soul puppet, there was no aura of an outsider in the entire auction house. ¡°There¡¯s no need to search. The people who followed me are all dead except for me,¡± Han Yue said with a pale face. ¡°Why? Just because Yuan Cang is dead, you¡¯re here to die with him?¡± Lin Mo could not understand. If Han Yue followed him here, it would be no different from sending herself to her death. He really could not think of any other reason¡­ ¡°Let me go. I¡¯ll tell you the reason.¡± Han Yue raised her head and looked at Lin Mo. Clearly, Lin Mo¡¯s guess was wrong. She did not want to die¡­ ¡°You should have seen it, right¡­ ?¡± Lin Mo did not reply and asked. Hearing this, Han Yue¡¯s expression changed. She looked at Lin Mo with fear in her eyes. ¡°Since you saw it, then I can¡¯t let you go¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The incomplete techniques of the ancient divine beasts could not be revealed. Otherwise, Jiang Xiyue would not be able to protect him. ¡°That¡¯s the Dao techniques of the ancient divine beasts. There¡¯s more than one. Aren¡¯t you from the Eastern Continent?¡± Han Yue raised her head and looked at Lin Mo. This was the only explanation. The Dao technique of an ancient divine beast was indeed passed down in this world, but it definitely was not from the eastern continent. Since Lin Mo was not from the eastern continent, then what was he trying to do here? ¡°Sigh, forget it. After I kill you, your purpose of sending yourself to death will naturally surface.¡± Lin Mo sighed and slashed Han Yue¡¯s throat with his sword. He discovered a large number of treasures on Han Yue¡¯s body, which caused Lin Mo to be rather shocked. He then thought of something¡­ Han Yue¡¯s talent was not considered top-notch. The only thing that could be of use was her identity¡­ This treasure could not be touched¡­ After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo took Han Yue¡¯s body and left the auction house. As more than 70% of the experts in ancient flame city were currently attending the trade fair at the city Lord¡¯s Mansion, Lin Mo was not discovered by anyone. He came to the Mu family¡¯s location, bypassed the guards and sneaked in. The fourth prince had arrived, and many of the Mu family¡¯s experts were in the city lord¡¯s residence, respectfully serving him. However, ordinary people would not think of sneaking into the Mu residence, much less bringing a pile of corpses here. Following the density of the spiritual energy, Lin Mo quickly found the Mu family¡¯s medicinal field. There were a few large arrays guarding it, and they were heavily guarded. Lin Mo placed the corpses down and attacked the large array. In the next moment, terrifying fluctuations swept out. The Mu family¡¯s alarm instantly sounded, and all the guards rushed towards the medicinal field. When they arrived, they only found a few corpses. At first glance, it looked like they had been killed by the formation. At this moment, in the City Lord¡¯s manor, the fourth prince was still chatting with someone, and the Mu family¡¯s patriarch was respectfully serving him. Not long after, a guard ran over in a panic and shouted, ¡°Patriarch, it¡¯s bad.¡± ¡°What are you panicking for? Can¡¯t you see that the fourth prince is here?¡± Mu Ming said angrily and slapped the guard in the face. ¡°Patriarch, a group of thieves infiltrated the Mu family and tried to steal spirit herbs. They were wiped out by the great array¡­¡± The guard climbed up and said respectfully. ¡°You disturbed us just for this?¡± Mu Ming was extremely angry. If this was any other time, it would be considered a big matter. However, what could be more important than the fourth prince? ¡°Your subordinates found a large number of treasures on these people. Among them, there are more than ten spirit-grade treasures¡­¡± The guard continued. This was the first time he had seen a treasure of this level in his entire life. That was why he hurriedly came over to report. ¡°Oh, there¡¯s such a good thing?¡± The fourth prince smiled and finally became interested. He asked, ¡°Did you bring the treasures?¡± ¡°Yes, I did. I did not dare to act rashly. I brought the corpses along with me.¡± The guard waved his hand, and a few more guards came from afar. They were carrying stretchers covered with straw mats. ¡°Remove the straw mats. I want to see who has the guts to cause trouble at the Mu family,¡± Mu Ming said. The guards removed the straw mats and revealed the corpses. There were five corpses in total, but no one recognized them. They all shook their heads. But when the guards opened the last one, they instantly erupted in chaos. ¡°This¡­ This is the Holy Maiden of the Cang Xuan Holy Land?¡± ¡°I remember it very clearly. Her name is Han Yue, right? She¡¯s on the Yan Huang Board of Fame¡­¡± ¡°Heavens, why would Han Yue¡¯s corpse appear here?¡± Everyone was shocked. They could not understand why such a thing would happen. Moreover, according to the guard, it was Han Yue who had snuck into the Mu family and tried to steal the spirit herbs, but was killed by the great array¡­ ¡°Nonsense.¡± There were also disciples of the Cangxuan Holy Land present. They were furious. How could their Holy Land Saintess be a thief? ¡°But this is obviously Han Yue¡¯s corpse. It¡¯s not a fake,¡± Someone said, asking the people of the Cangxuan sacred land to give an explanation. ¡°Nonsense, the Saintess was obviously killed by the Mu family, and she even made up such a ridiculous excuse.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, how dare you kill our Saintess and frame her?¡± ¡°We must be given an explanation today.¡± The disciples of Cangxuan Holy Land were agitated and angrily denounced the Mu family¡¯s shameless behavior. ¡°What¡­ What on earth is going on?¡± Mu Ming was dumbfounded and did not know what to say for a moment¡­ Although their Mu family had the fourth prince¡¯s support, they would not offend the Holy Land for no reason. Making enemies recklessly would cause the fourth prince to clean up the family¡­ Chapter 290 - Denounce Me ¡°Bastard, who did it? How dare you frame me?¡± Mu Ming was furious. He raised his hand and grabbed the guard. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the guard. ¡°Tell me, who asked you to frame me?¡± The guard was strangled by his neck. He could barely breathe as he struggled with difficulty. ¡°Senior Mu Ming, are you planning to silence him?¡± The disciples of the Profound Azure Holy Land could not take it anymore. They spoke out to stop Mu Ming, asking him to stop. The corpses had been brought over by these guards, and only they knew about it. If they were killed by Mu Ming, then there would be no way to prove it. ¡°He was quite ruthless, but there are some abnormalities in the treatment of his injuries,¡± The fourth prince said slowly. He walked up and opened the straw mats one by one, revealing their wounds. ¡°Your Highness, what does that mean?¡± The disciple of the Profound Azure Holy Land asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t understand. You can ask the seniors present. This wound is obviously deliberate.¡± The fourth Prince pointed at the sword scar on Han Yue¡¯s neck. After observing, most people understood that this wound was indeed not caused by the great formation. Moreover, although the sword Qi on the sword mark had been removed, the aura it emitted was still shocking. It could be seen that there was definitely something fishy about Han Yue¡¯s death. ¡°But, why was the Saintess found in the Mu residence¡­¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Think about it carefully. who has enmity with the Cang Xuan Holy Land and the Mu family at the same time?¡± The person beside said. On the high platform, several elders, including Luo Haoyu, frowned. They knew more information. They knew that the Cang Xuan Holy Land and the Yuan Yang Holy Land had submitted to the seventh prince. Now that Han Yue had been killed, her body had been found in the Mu family. Either the fourth prince would clean up the Mu family and take all the treasures from the ancient flame ruins, or the anger of the seventh prince and the Cang Xuan Holy Land would not be so easily dispelled. The one who would benefit from it would be the prince behind them¡­ ¡°Could it be that kid?¡± Luo Haoyu frowned. When he saw Han Yue¡¯s corpse, he had guessed that Lin Mo must have been involved. However, Lin Mo had done it without anyone knowing. He had not even touched the treasures on Han Yue¡¯s body and had thrown them all to the Mu family¡­ The disciples of the Cangxuan Holy Land furrowed their brows, deep in thought. Finally, they looked at each other and said at the same time, ¡°Lin Mo..¡± Their voices were not loud, but everyone present heard them. For a moment, the entire place was in an uproar. Lin Mo had left the venue and was going to hold an auction five days later. Many people knew about this. Some people had even started to prepare the funds to bid for the treasure. ¡°It must be Lin Mo. The Saintess had once asked the elders to make a move against him at the auction. This guy has a grudge against him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even though the Saintess has offended him, she doesn¡¯t deserve to die. Lin Mo has gone too far.¡± The disciples of the Cangxuan Holy Land were agitated, clamoring for Lin Mo to pay the price. They were extremely aggrieved. Han Yue had originally been in a marriage alliance with Yuan Cang and had a very good relationship with the Yuan Yang Holy Land. However, after Yuan Cang¡¯s death, the elders of the Holy Land broke off their engagement and their relationship with the Yuan Yang Holy Land deteriorated. There were also many people who accused the Cangxuan Holy Land of being snobbish and not caring about their old relationship. This also caused the Cangxuan holy land to be very passive recently. Many disciples were somewhat unable to raise their heads when they went out. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. We need an explanation.¡± The Profound Azure Sacred Land received an elder. After seeing the corpse, they confirmed that the fourth prince¡¯s words were true. The true culprit was not the Mu clan. This was a frame-up. ¡°Fellow Daoist, this old man will accompany you all to trample on the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. We will use Lin Mo¡¯s blood to pay tribute to the deceased.¡± Mu Ming followed behind, his anger still fresh. Very soon, the Mu clan and the vast mystic sacred land gathered several experts and left the city lord¡¯s manor, heading towards the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. ¡°Hurry up and leave, don¡¯t let Lin Mo escape.¡± Mu Ming angrily spoke, allowing the Mu clan¡¯s disciples to act first. On the streets of Ancient Flame City, the crowd surged as a group of people flew past like demons. All the passers-by retreated, afraid of angering these people. The Profound Azure Holy Land came out in full force, and half of the experts from the Mu clan also came, surrounding the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. This scene shocked many people in the surroundings, and they were dumbstruck. What kind of situation was this? Did the Lin clan¡¯s auction house offend some terrifying person? The people who came were all experts above tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and they were all elites. At this moment, they were all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, blocking the entrance of the auction house. ¡°Eh, what are the people from the Mu family and the Cang Xuan Holy Land planning to do? Why are they making such a big fuss?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but there¡¯s a good show to watch. Don¡¯t interrupt.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Under the crowd¡¯s watchful eyes, Yan Rong walked out with a few guards. He frowned and said, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± ¡°Go away. A servant dares to stop us?¡± Mu Ming did not want to say anything more. He pushed Yan Rong away and rushed in with a group of powerhouses. After passing through a few corridors, they arrived at the depths of the auction house. In a courtyard, Lin Mo was calmly explaining the principles of the Flame Dao to Lin die. When he saw someone rush in, he was not surprised. However, he still pretended to be surprised and said, ¡°Senior Mu Ming, why have you mobilized so many people?¡± ¡°Lin Mo, are you the one who killed the Holy Maiden of our Holy Land?¡± The elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land had a cold expression, revealing his killing intent. Some disciples were extremely furious. They had killed their Holy Maiden, yet they were still leisurely here. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you guys are talking about¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, looking like a victim. In the eyes of outsiders, he was indeed very wronged. He had been inexplicably beaten up by a group of people to come to his home and being thrown false accusations. ¡°You¡¯re still pretending to be stupid. You killed my Holy Land¡¯s Holy Maiden and framed the people of the Mu family. Today, no matter how you quibble, You¡¯re dead for sure,¡± Said an elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land. His strength had reached tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. At this time, he stood out, and a powerful pressure spread out, causing the surrounding people to step back repeatedly. The others were either killed or died in the ruins, suffering heavy losses. ¡°Who do you think you are? You can frame me without distinguishing between right and wrong?¡± Lin Mo said in a cold voice. ¡°Junior, you still dare to be stubborn even at the end of your life. Time to meet your death.¡± Mu Ming said angrily. ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s see who dares to make the first move?¡± Suddenly, a loud shout sounded. An old man appeared in the sky above the small courtyard. He descended step by step and actually suppressed the entire place until it was unable to move. ¡°Su Hanhai¡­ You actually broke through?¡± Mu Ming could be said to be very familiar with this aura. It was precisely the Su family¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai. He had not appeared in the past few days. It turned out that he had broken through to the Nirvana stage once again. ¡°Mu Ming, you are really useless. Back then, you ambushed me and did not allow me to break through. However, after so many years, you are still standing on the same spot¡­¡± Su Hanhai smiled faintly. A powerful aura spread out. Some of the onlookers in the air could not help but exclaim in admiration. The Su family had produced a Nirvana realm powerhouse. They were going to be rich¡­ Chapter 291 - Heroes of the Bloody Battle ¡°Isn¡¯t it just the Nirvana realm? Our Cangxuan Holy Land also has¡­¡± The elder of Cangxuan Holy Land said angrily. He took out a jade talisman and crushed it in front of everyone. The fragment emitted a space fluctuation and gradually condensed. A space crack appeared and an old man in cloth clothes walked out from it. His hair was white and his face was full of wrinkles. ¡°This is a bit unexpected. When we came to Ancient Flame City, we sensed an unusual aura from the Su family. I didn¡¯t expect that fellow Daoist Su would actually break through. Congratulations.¡± The old man walked out and smiled at Su Hanhai. ¡°Who is he?¡± Lin Mo frowned and looked behind him. Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they did not know. Finally, Yan Rong walked over and told him the identity of that person. ¡°Master, he is the grand elder of the Cang Xuan Holy Land, Zhao Kuangyi, with the strength of the first sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± This person had already been a Nirvana realm powerhouse hundreds of years ago. With so many years of accumulation, he should be able to surpass Su Hanhai in terms of combat strength. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and did not say anything. In any case, he had many trump cards to protect his life. The original soul puppet was one. Apart from that, there was also the formation disk that Bai Luo gave him before he left. It could be used twice, so it was enough to protect himself. ¡°You guys can leave first.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and had Yan Rong bring Lin die and the others to observe from a distance. ¡°Fellow Daoist, it¡¯s not easy to achieve a breakthrough. How about we not fight each other?¡± Zhao Kuangyi smiled faintly and said to Su Hanhai. ¡°This¡­¡± Su Hanhai frowned. The other party¡¯s strength was clearly above his. If they really fought, he would probably be at a disadvantage. However, Lin Mo¡¯s situation below was also very dangerous. The slightest bit of carelessness would result in his death¡­ ¡°Elder Su, just agree. It¡¯s just a group of cats and dogs. Our Juniors can deal with them.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. The ancient desolation sword appeared in his hand. ¡°Laughable, this old man will first meet a junior like you¡­¡± An elder of the Mu family was the first to be unable to hold it in. He immediately took action. A layer of symbols bloomed, and he immediately displayed his martial arts. ¡°Clang.¡± Lin Mo sneered as he slashed forward with the Ancient Sword of Desolation. He used the Golden Scale Sword Technique and a golden sword Qi filled the sky. It collided head-on with elder Ming¡¯s martial arts and exploded with a dazzling golden light, causing the surrounding people to be unable to open their eyes. After the collision, that Elder¡¯s entire body was trembling. The blade in his hand was broken and shattered by the sword Qi. Although he knew that Lin Mo was powerful, he still received quite a blow when he faced him head-on. ¡°Brat, don¡¯t put up any resistance. Today, you will definitely die.¡± Another expert appeared, wanting to make a move against Lin Mo. Lin Mo laughed loudly, ¡°What a joke. Today, there will indeed be people dying, but that person isn¡¯t me. In addition, you guys barged into my Lin clan¡¯s auction house. You can only blame yourself.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s laughter caused these people to be dissatisfied. The mocking effect was so great that even the disciples of the two clans couldn¡¯t help but want to make a move. ¡°Clang.¡± Mu Ming made his move. He held the blade in his hand, wanting to finish off Lin Mo. However, he was stopped by the Origin Spirit Puppet. Not only that, the Origin Spirit Puppet held a spirit-grade weapon in its hand, and its strength was still at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. After absorbing that broken inner core, the Origin Soul Puppet had already broken through to tier 31 Dragon Transformation, and its strength could suppress experts of the same realm. Seeing this, Mu Ming had no choice but to call for help. The elder from the Cang Xuan Holy Land and an elder from the Mu family went forward to help. One was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and two at tier 30 combined to block the Origin Spirit Puppet¡¯s attack. ¡°Next, let me accompany you guys to have a good time.¡± Lin Mo sneered. The Kun Peng Wings were spread out and enveloped by a wisp of fire. It looked like a pair of flaming wings. In the next moment, his speed soared as he arrived in front of the person who had just exchanged blows with him. This person was also an expert. He had cultivated for over a hundred years and was confident that he wasn¡¯t weak. He raised his hand and slashed at Lin Mo with his palm blade. However, facing Lin Mo¡¯s attack, his physical body didn¡¯t have the slightest ability to resist. ¡°Die.¡± Lin Mo instantly broke through his attack. The ancient desolate sword slashed down and destroyed the symbols on this person¡¯s body. The Sword Qi surged and exploded his body into pieces. A powerhouse was killed and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. This scene not only shocked the onlookers, but also the people from the Mu family and the Cang Xuan Holy Land. Without using martial arts or Dao principles, he killed a powerhouse at the tier 25th of the Dragon Transformation Realm with just one sword attack. ¡°Bang.¡± Lin Mo struck out with a backhand palm, forcing back a Mu family disciple who wanted to launch a sneak attack. That person was sent flying. His chest caved in, and his bones were broken in many places. He was already heavily injured. The others were shocked beyond words. Only by experiencing it personally could they feel how powerful Lin Mo¡¯s strength was. It could be said that Lin Mo did not even need a weapon to fight those below tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Such a simple palm strike could cause a person to be heavily injured in a single exchange. At this moment, everyone began to pay attention to it. They no longer felt that encircling and attacking Lin Mo was an easy matter. The experts from both sides gathered their spirits and surrounded Lin Mo. they did not dare to go up alone and send themselves to their deaths. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to be careless. With so many people surrounding and attacking him, it was a tough battle for him. The God devouring body¡¯s domain spread out. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. Under the continuous infusion of spiritual energy, the aura on his body became stronger and stronger. When his aura reached its peak, Lin Mo took the lead and rushed out. The Kun Peng Wings flapped, and its speed was incomparably fast. This scene caused everyone to tremble in fear. Although they had long been mentally prepared, it was still difficult to estimate Lin Mo¡¯s strength to such an extent. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together.¡± The others rushed up and displayed their martial arts, surrounding and attacking Lin Mo. In the distance, everyone was watching the battle. Some were in mid-air, while some entered the auction house to watch the battle. However, the outcome of the battle shocked them. Lin Mo¡¯s strength was beyond their imagination. In the battle just now, relying on his advantage in speed, Lin Mo chopped off the head of a disciple with a sword. He turned his head and swept his leg over, sending an elder flying. The ancient sword of desolation emitted a luster that belonged to him. The sharp blade cut off the opponent¡¯s weapons one by one. This was not encirclement at all, this was simply a massacre. Lin Mo targeted the massacre of the Cangxuan Holy Land and Mu family disciples. Anyone below level 25 of the dragon transformation realm would not be able to withstand a single move from Lin Mo. Even those above level 25 were killed by Lin Mo in a few moves. Fresh blood dyed the small courtyard red. He was too strong. Just how did Lin Mo cultivate to be able to cross so many realms? Another stream of fresh blood splattered. Lin Mo executed the Qilin Steps and heavily injured a powerhouse at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°What¡­ What martial art is this?¡± The Elder was stunned. This was too unbelievable. No matter how powerful Lin Mo was, it was impossible for him to be so powerful. He was a full nine realms higher than Lin Mo¡­ Even if he was a genius, he should not be so abnormal¡­ ¡°Unless¡­ It¡¯s an earth-grade martial art?¡± The elder was shocked as he thought of a possibility. In order to support Lin Mo to cross so many ranks to face his enemies, other than his comprehension of the Dao, the level of his martial arts could not be too low. Perhaps it was just as he had guessed, what Lin Mo controlled was an earth-grade martial art¡­ ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll let you die a fast death.¡± Lin Mo laughed coldly. The monstrous flames wrapped around him, also blocking the prying eyes of outsiders. Chapter 292 - Keep the Peace The Dao flames spread. On Lin Mo¡¯s back, a pair of golden wings blossomed, and the aura of the Primordial Kun Peng spread out. Apart from that, the spirit of the Vermillion Bird surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body as well. Following the activation of Lin Mo¡¯s art, it flew toward the other party. ¡°An Ancient Divine Beast¡­¡± A terrifying aura spread out as the Vermilion Bird ruthlessly smashed into his opponent¡¯s body, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame exploded. The flames that were even stronger than Lin Mo¡¯s Dao flame burned the opponent clean in an instant, and even his storage ring was destroyed. ¡°I did not pay attention. I lost some resources¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with heartache. After concealing himself, he dispersed the outer layer of flames. The outcome of the battle had been decided so quickly, causing everyone to be shocked. As for the elder¡¯s body, it had been incinerated. Only a terrifying aura of flames remained in the air. Regardless of whether it was the Cang Xuan Holy Land or the Mu family, they only wanted to escape at this moment. They did not want to continue fighting. This was because Lin Mo¡¯s aura was too terrifying. They were afraid that they would all be annihilated. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too late to think of leaving now?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was ice cold as he looked at the fearful expressions of everyone. ¡°Did you guys think of this outcome when you came to my place to interrogate me?¡± These people were so frightened that they did not dare to speak. This was because Lin Mo¡¯s bloody methods had intimidated them. Furthermore, looking at Lin Mo¡¯s stance, it was obvious that he wanted to continue his massacre. Thinking up to this point, everyone¡¯s bodies turned ice-cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Raising their heads, they saw that Su Hanhai and Zhao Kuangyi were already facing off against each other. Although they did not make a move, their soul power had already locked onto the other party. Whoever dared to interfere in the battle below would definitely have to endure the other party¡¯s fiercest attack. ¡°No matter what, you¡¯re going to die. I¡¯ll fight it out with you.¡± Someone roared loudly. The tier 9 weapon in his hand emitted a divine light, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian erupted. Many people imitated this, causing the divine light to fill the sky. Countless people fled, not daring to stay here for long, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. With a ¡°Boom¡±, the terrifying shockwaves from the weapon and the explosion of the Dantian swept through the entire area. Not to mention the small courtyard, the entire Lin clan auction house was razed to the ground. If Lin Mo had not retreated quickly, he would have been severely injured. Even so, because he had resisted the impact of the self-detonation, his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted. Mu Ming and the others were also affected by the explosion. They had already suppressed the puppet in their battle with the Origin Spirit Puppet. The self-detonation from below had messed up the balance. Before anyone could react, they heard a scream. Purple light blossomed under Lin Mo¡¯s feet, and a wisp of divine light followed the rhythm of his footsteps, trampling down the Mu family¡¯s tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm expert. ¡°Mu Ran!¡± Mu Ming cried out in surprise, and it was too late to save him. The power produced by the self-detonation of more than a dozen experts was terrifying. In the end, they did not expect Lin Mo to be fine, and it was them who were in trouble instead. Mu Ran was the Mu family¡¯s top combatant apart from him, yet he was now trampled under Lin Mo¡¯s feet. He wanted to go and save her, but the Origin Spirit Puppet appeared by Lin Mo¡¯s side like a loyal guard. Mu Ming wanted to say something, but it was too late. Lin Mo¡¯s foot landed and ended Mu Ran¡¯s life. ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re courting death.¡± Seeing Mu ran¡¯s tragic death, Mu Ming was filled with grief and indignation. He charged towards Lin Mo, but was blocked by the Origin Spirit Puppet. ¡°What vicious methods.jfj So ruthless. You massacred so many lives. You¡¯re an evil cultivator. You deserve to be killed,¡± said the elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land. ¡°You have the nerve to say that?¡±Lin Mo said with a calm expression. He pointed at the auction house that had been razed to the ground and said, ¡°I was originally teaching my sister how to cultivate. In the end, you forcefully barged in without any evidence and framed me.¡± ¡°These people wanted to kill me, but I killed them instead. Now, you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m an evil cultivator? Are you joking?¡± These words received the approval of many people, and it also made the Mu family and Cang Xuan Holy Land lose their face. Even Zhao Kuangyi frowned. They indeed did not have any evidence to prove that Lin Mo had killed Han Yue. On the contrary, it was true that they had attacked the auction house and destroyed it¡­ There was no way to refute this point. So many people were watching and it was impossible for them to deny it. Seeing that everyone was silent, Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°In my opinion, this matter should be analyzed this way.¡± ¡°I do have some grudges with Saintess Han Yue. Could it be that someone used this to kill Saintess and then framed me, causing Cang Xuan Holy Land to completely oppose me? It¡¯s hard to say.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Although he did not say it out loud, he was pointing at the Mu family both openly and secretly. ¡°Nonsense, you¡¯re framing me!¡± Mu Ming said angrily. He had no choice but to refute. This was because Zhao Kuangyi¡¯s gaze in the sky looked over with a hint of scrutiny. ¡°Hehe, what a wonderful performance¡­¡± At this moment, the fourth prince¡¯s voice sounded. Mu Ming immediately straightened himself and went up to greet him. Zhao Kuangyi and Su Hanhai did not dare to be negligent. They immediately withdrew their monstrous auras and bowed respectfully to him. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness.¡± The crowd of onlookers knelt down in a dense mass and all bowed. ¡°Oh, Does Your Highness the fourth prince also want to get involved?¡± Lin Mo said. The fourth prince¡¯s appearance was no exception. The fourth prince waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up. He said, ¡°I just watched a farce and thought it was interesting. I want to be a peacemaker.¡± He first looked at Zhao Kuangyi and said, ¡°I¡¯m very sorry for the death of the Saintess of your land. However, you don¡¯t know about the fierce beasts. It¡¯s also wrong to frame them.¡± Zhao Kuangyi bowed again and said, ¡°The fourth prince is teaching us a lesson. It¡¯s our fault for not thinking properly.¡± Then, the fourth prince looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°Lin Mo, although you¡¯ve been wronged, you¡¯ve also killed so many people. Let¡¯s drop this matter. How about it?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo was naturally happy to let the matter rest. He waved the spatial bag in his hand and said, ¡°Sure, but these things can be taken as compensation for destroying my auction house.¡± These were the things that Han Yue had brought with her. Lin Mo was worried that there would be a trap, so he did not act rashly. Now that the reason was sufficient and he had obtained them during the process of killing, it was only natural that he would accept them¡­ ¡°No, you can just take out a few of them and they¡¯ll be able to buy your auction house.¡± The remaining elder of the Profound Azure Holy Land disagreed. He knew how many treasures were contained in the spatial bag, and it was equivalent to the net income of the Profound Azure Holy Land for half a year¡­ ¡°If you¡¯re not satisfied, you can come and snatch them.¡± Lin Mo spread out his hands, indicating that he would not return them, causing the elder to tremble with anger. ¡°I won¡¯t get involved in this. Today, I¡¯ll let it go. Everyone, you can leave now.¡± The fourth prince smiled and let the surrounding crowd disperse. ¡°Oh right, due to the destruction of the auction house, the auction will be postponed to seven days later. When the time comes, please come.¡± Before everyone left, Lin Mo opened his mouth and told everyone about the new time of the auction. After watching the show, everyone left one by one. However, the topic of the evening in Ancient Flame City had changed from the fourth prince¡¯s auction to Lin Mo¡¯s bloody battle with the experts from the Cang Xuan Holy Land and the Mu family. As for Lin Mo¡¯s side, since the auction house had been razed to the ground, he had no choice but to hire people to build it. Fortunately, the people he invited were all Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators. It would not be a problem to build it within seven days¡­ Chapter 293 - Gathering of the Heroes Seven days passed quietly. Lin Mo had originally planned to cultivate, but during this time, experts from various factions had come to visit. He could not put on airs and ignore them, so he could only receive them one by one. However, what made him satisfied was that these people had auctioned off some treasures, and at the very least, there was a spirit-grade treasure in the mix. ¡°It seems that ever since the Ancient Flame Ruins, spirit-grade treasures have been appearing one after another.¡± In the small courtyard, Lin Mo looked at the mountain of treasures. He was extremely satisfied. ¡°Master, it¡¯s because the Yanhuang Divine Empire is no longer collecting resources. Some factions also know about the chaos, so they have all taken out their most valuable treasures,¡± Duanmu Jia said. This time, the Duanmu family from Huai An city had also sent someone. They were here to say their final farewell. The Duanmu family was moving, the entire family was going to Great Yan Divine Empire. The person in charge of the relocation this time was Zhen Gu. As a result, Lin Mo¡¯s auction house in Lin City had one less supplier, which was quite a blow. ¡°It¡¯s alright. There¡¯s still the Lin family in Lin City. The people of the Lin family are not idiots. They will manage well.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and did not think too much about it. Soon, Yan Rong walked into the small courtyard and came to report. ¡°Master, there are a lot of people coming this time. There are more than a dozen Nirvana stage powerhouses.¡± Usually, there were only a few nirvana stage powerhouses. Now, there were more than a dozen people in a city alone. This was also the reason why the Yanhuang Divine Empire collected resources. If it was not for this, the Yanhuang Divine Empire would have even more powerhouses. ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo kept the mountain of treasures in his storage ring and headed to the auction hall with everyone else. At this moment, the auction hall was already filled with people. All the experts had come. Even the VIP rooms on the second floor were filled. Some people were forced to choose the front of the hall. Lin Mo¡¯s appearance caused the noisy auction hall to instantly become quiet. Looking at the crowd below, Lin Mo was secretly speechless. All of them were not to be trifled with. ¡°Hehe, thank you all for your support. I won¡¯t say any unnecessary pleasantries. You guys don¡¯t like it either.¡± Saluting everyone below, Lin Mo did not let Duanmu Jia enter the stage. Instead, he personally presided over the auction. ¡°Alright, I can only say that today¡¯s auction items are very valuable. The first item is the tier 9 mid-grade cultivation technique, ¡®Grand Mystery Art¡¯.¡± A ninth tier top-grade cultivation technique was definitely the finale of the auction in the past. It could not even be auctioned. Now, it could only be displayed at the beginning. The people at the front were naturally not interested, but the people at the back were all excited. The cultivation technique was a very popular treasure. The moment it appeared, some people could not help but be excited. ¡°The starting price of the grand mystery art is 4,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± It was not very expensive, but it was not cheap either. However, as soon as the price of the grand mystery art was called, someone began to raise the price. ¡°4,100!¡± ¡°4,200!¡± In less than a minute, the price of the Grand Mystery Art rose like a rising tide. In the end, the price skyrocketed. In the end, it was bought by a hunchbacked old woman for 6500 yuan. This price was not cheap, but the Great Mystery Art was worthy of this price. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Great Mystery Art , a middle-grade tier 9 cultivation method. ] [ You have successfully triggered 500-fold return from the auction. ] ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining the ninth-tier high-grade cultivation technique, Grand Mystery Mantra.¡± Lin Mo nodded and passed the Grand Mystery Mantra to the Duanmu family behind him, asking them to pass it to the old lady. ¡°The second item is the ninth-tier top-grade heavenly Frost Jade Marrow. This is a type of cold jade that can be used to forge weapons.¡± ¡°Everyone should know that if the user is of the water or ice attribute, the power of a weapon forged from the heavenly frost jade marrow can be raised to another level.¡± ¡°The starting price is 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± After Lin Mo finished his introduction, countless gazes turned to look at him. This heavenly Frost Jade Marrow was also extremely precious. It was deeply loved by some blacksmiths. However, due to its ice attribute, if the user was not strong enough, it would probably cause the furnace to extinguish, and all their efforts would be for naught. ¡°I hope I can get a good item back.¡± Lin Mo looked at the crowd that had started to bid, looking forward to the good item that the auction would give back. His Ancient Sword of Desolation also needed some materials to repair. Currently, he was in control of the Flame Dao. Strictly speaking, it could be considered a fire attribute. He only hoped that he could return a fire attribute marrow. That way, he would be able to fuse it into the Ancient Sword of Desolation. ¡°However, I don¡¯t really know how to forge weapons at the moment. Looks like I¡¯ll have to learn it well¡­¡± With this thought in mind, he turned his gaze towards the auction hall, before finally fixing his gaze on a corner. At this moment, a person stood up and said, ¡°I bid 7,800 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°8,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Although the Frost Jade Marrow was common, it had attracted many people to fight over it. The final bid was raised to 8,500 middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this customer for successfully bidding for the Frost Jade Marrow.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and announced the results. As Duanmu Jia brought the Frost Jade Marrow down, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ congratulations to host for successfully bidding for the ninth-grade Frose Jade Marrow. ] [ triggered 2,000 times the auction profit. ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining the spirit rank first-grade Holy Thunder Marrow. ] Unfortunately, it was not fire-attributed, which made Lin Mo feel disappointed. ¡°Forget it, it can still be used. In any case, it¡¯s just supplementary material.¡± Lin Mo nodded and took out the next auction item. The previous items were mostly of the 9th rank. There were spirit herbs, spirit pills, and pill formulas. Without exception, it attracted the attention of everyone. Some were extremely rare. Some even got the people in the VIP rooms on the 2nd floor to buy them at a price that exceeded the value of the treasure itself. Lin Mo had earned quite a number of spirit stones. Other than some that were sent to be auctioned, the rest were all kept in his bag. ¡°Everyone, do you feel that things have become dull?¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. After nearly two hours of auctioning, he had sold over a hundred tier 9 treasures. Among them, most of them had earned back a spirit rank, allowing him to make a huge profit. Upon hearing his words, everyone perked up, because they knew that with Lin Mo¡¯s words, perhaps the tier 9 treasures had been sold out. ¡°That¡¯s right, the tier 9 treasures have already been auctioned off. Next, it¡¯s time for the spirit-grade treasures.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring. Within the bottle, a black round medicinal pill appeared, emitting a black light. When it appeared, the surrounding light was absorbed. ¡°The Acceptance Spirit Pill is a third tier spirit-grade pill.¡± ¡°As long as it is added, the embryo will devour the spiritual energy of the surrounding environment, automatically purifying and injecting it into the pill.¡± ¡°Therefore, you must prepare spirit stones in advance when you use it. Although the price is quite high, it can at least raise the quality of the refined spiritual artifact by one grade.¡± Chapter 294 - Holy Spirit Jindan Lin Mo said excitedly. Other than body cultivators, no one would be able to resist this temptation. Who wouldn¡¯t want their weapon or armor to be upgraded by a grade? ¡°Field owner Lin, hurry up and tell us the price. We Can¡¯t wait any longer,¡± someone said, urging Lin Mo to hurry up and tell the price. ¡°Alright, the starting price is 80,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He had found the storage spirit pill from Han Yue¡¯s spatial bag. After going through many twists and turns, it returned to his hand. ¡°82,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The bidder was a middle-aged man sitting at the very front of the hall. His face was cold and stern, and his body was emitting intense spiritual energy fluctuations. ¡°85,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± However, his bid did not last for more than a few seconds before someone raised the price. ¡°Ninety thousand.¡± The voices of raising the price one after another broke the silence. Countless people were bidding for the Acceptance Spirit Pill. In just a few minutes, the price of the Acceptance Spirit Pill had been raised to 120,000. This price made many people envious. After all, 120,000 middle-grade spirit stones was equivalent to the profits of some small clans for an entire year. Moreover, if one obtained 120,000 middle-grade spirit stones, their cultivation speed would definitely soar. At that time, it woould be easy to obtain a high-grade magical artifact? ¡°130,000.¡± The price had been raised to this point, and there were not many who could keep up. However, when the person in the VIP room made a bid, the nature of the matter was different. ¡°It¡¯s the Su family¡¯s patriarch, Su Hanhai. I did not expect this senior to make a move as well.¡± ¡°After all, he has just broken through to the Nirvana stage. I think he needs to find a suitable weapon.¡± Seeing Su Hanhai making a move, many people tactfully did not raise their bids. The Su family had produced a Nirvana stage cultivator. It was the time for them to soar and it was not easy to offend them. When Lin Mo saw this scene, he was also stunned. Su Hanhai was also interested in the Acceptance Spiritual Pill? ¡°140,000.¡± On the other side, there were also people who placed bids, and the price was not low. The price of the pill was about the same. ¡°It¡¯s the location of the Duanmu family in Huai An city. It seems like they want to obtain a batch of resources before they leave.¡± Lin Mo did not think too much about it. Seeing that no one placed a bid, he dropped the hammer in his hand. ¡°Congratulations to this distinguished guest for successfully bidding for the pill.¡± After getting Duanmu Jia to bid for the item, the system¡¯s voice sounded out, causing Lin Mo to be extremely satisfied. [ congratulations to the host for successfully bidding for a spirit rank 3 acceptance spirit pill ] [ triggered 5,000 times the auction return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a spirit rank 5 Saint Spirit Golden Pill ] Hearing this, Lin Mo hurriedly checked the system space, only to see a spirit pill emitting a golden light appearing in front of him. There were some strange patterns on it that were mysterious and unfathomable. When Lin Mo saw the information within, he was overjoyed. This was because the Holy Spirit Golden Pill¡¯s effect was the same as the Acceptance Spirit Pill, except that the acceptance spirit pill was able to raise its quality by one rank. As for the Holy Spirit Golden Pill, it could raise its quality by two ranks. ¡°That¡¯s great! I can let Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia purchase the remaining materials. After this auction ends, I¡¯ll start my seclusion.¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. He then took out a jade box. Just as he took it out, a wave of powerful spiritual energy burst out from it. ¡°Everyone, there are five more spirit-grade treasures to be auctioned. Other than the last item, there¡¯s no ranking.¡± ¡°This first one is a spirit-grade level 3 weapon, the Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer. In addition, there¡¯s a set of cultivation techniques and martial arts.¡± ¡°All of them are spirit-grade tier 3.¡± Lin Mo sized up the entire auction hall, a mysterious smile on his face as he said, ¡°This is a treasure that I finally managed to find with great difficulty. This is an opportunity that can not be missed.¡± At the same time, Lin Mo also opened the jade box, and a huge hammer appeared within. The entire auction hall was filled with a thick and oppressive aura, forcing everyone to be unable to raise their heads. When Lin Mo picked up the divine hammer and lightly waved it, the spiritual energy of the entire auction hall surrounded Lin Mo, causing a strange phenomenon to appear. In the depths of this strange phenomenon was hidden a power that could crush mountains and rivers. Everyone was shocked. This was a set of weapons, cultivation techniques, and martial arts. If this was in the past, they would not even dare to think about it. Now, it had appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. In the hall, everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open as they looked at Lin Mo on the stage, unable to say a single word. Putting everything else aside, this treasure was already sufficient to be the finale. However, it had been released by Lin Mo in advance. This meant that the finale item was sufficiently stunning. It was probably at the level of a spirit-grade tier 5¡­ ¡°Alright, this Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer is perfect. I¡¯ll take it.¡± Su Hanhai of the Su family said loudly. He was very satisfied with this Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer, and it also had cultivation methods and martial arts. ¡°Hehe, Brother Su, don¡¯t blame me. This mountain quaking divine hammer, I¡¯m also quite satisfied. I Won¡¯t let it go.¡± A voice came from the Duanmu family of Huai An city. The voice was heavy, and it faintly resonated with the mountain quaking divine hammer. ¡°Field owner Lin, tell us the starting price. We can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± Another person said. It was Kong Xiu of the peacock spirit clan. He had also come to participate in the auction and had not spoken up until now. ¡°Everyone, the third tier spirit-grade mountain quaking divine hammer as well as the accompanying cultivation technique, martial arts, starting price: 400,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± A series of gasps came from the hall. This price was too expensive. It directly cut them off. They did not even have the qualifications to participate in the auction. ¡°I bid 430,000.¡± ¡°450,000.¡± ¡°500,000.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Those who participated in the bidding were all people from the VIP rooms. Among them, Su Hanhai and the Mu family were the most relentless. They did not give in at all. However, the Mu family had the fourth prince behind them. Presumably, the fourth prince also wanted this Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer. There was not much of a gap left, and the experts from various factions were all competing for it. The price rose very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the starting price of 400,000 had already been doubled to 800,000. ¡°Su Hanhai, can a small Su family like you really take out 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones?¡± Mu Ming¡¯s gloomy voice sounded. 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Even the fourth prince frowned. Although he had quite a few business groups under him, he still had many people to support. If he did not provide those people with cultivation resources, why would they follow him? In that case, even he could not ignore the 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones. ¡°Hmph, whether this old man has spirit stones or not, that¡¯s not something that should be considered. If you want to bid, then raise the price. What are you waiting for?¡± Su Hanhai snorted coldly. His tone was very dissatisfied. Although he had the support of the eighth Prince, Qianqian did not provide him with spirit stones. She only provided him with the resources to break through to the Nirvana realm. Therefore, because Mu Ming raised the price, he spent so many more spirit stones. He was still very dissatisfied¡­ ¡°Eight hundred thousand going once.¡± ¡°Eight hundred thousand going twice.¡± ¡°Eight hundred thousand going three times.¡± ¡°Sold! Congratulations to Old Su for successfully bidding for the mountain quaking divine hammer.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo did not give the Mu family much time to think as he announced the ownership of the mountain quaking divine hammer. However, this Mountain Quaking Divine Hammer was a treasure that Lin Mo had previously auctioned off for a rebate. Hence, the system would not give him another rebate. After the competition ended, a wave of sighs could be heard from the stage. Chapter 295 - Spirit Fusing Pill Although people were very eager, they still did not have the qualifications to compete with Su Hanhai. However, Lin Mo had said before that the treasures in the future were all very precious, especially the final item. Thinking of this, everyone became curious again, filled with anticipation for the upcoming auction. On the stage, Lin Mo adjusted his expression and took out another auction item. ¡°This item is an inner core. Its grade can reach the third rank of the spirit rank, and it comes from a Fire Cloud Sparrow.¡± Lin Mo started his introduction. The inner core of a Fire Cloud Sparrow was extremely precious in the outside world. It was said that the Fire Cloud Sparrow lineage originated from the ancient Vermilion Bird. Their ancestor might have been an ancient divine beast, the Vermilion Bird. However, due to their bloodlines gradually turning turbid, they regressed. Many people knew of this legend. As a result, the inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow was more valuable than other types of inner cores. ¡°If I consume the inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow, I will definitely be able to break through to the Nirvana realm.¡± In the Mu family¡¯s VIP Room, Mu Ming¡¯s face was filled with excitement. He looked at the fourth prince, his eyes filled with desire. His old rival, Su Hanhai, had broken through to the Nirvana realm. He would definitely take revenge for his sneak attack and injury back then. If he also broke through to the Nirvana realm, he might have the strength to fight. ¡°You can bid. You can decide for yourself.¡± The fourth prince nodded indifferently and did not care about anything. ¡°Thank You, Your Royal Highness.¡± Mu Ming bowed respectfully and looked at the stage again. ¡­ ¡°First Elder, I¡­¡± At this moment, in the room of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, Qin Yu wanted to say something but stopped. The Fire Cloud Sparrow¡¯s inner core could break one through to the Nirvana realm if consumed whole, and the success rate could almost reach 80%. Any tier 31 practitioner Dragon Transformation Realm would be tempted. Only a genius like Lin Mo would be so unconcerned and confident that he could sing all the way without fear of the sky, hibernating between the Dragon Transformation Realm and the Nirvana realm. ¡°Elder Qin Yu has made a lot of contributions, and he even has a good relationship with this Lin Mo. The Holy Land will remember this and will naturally help you buy it.¡± An old woman said, letting Qin Yu bid without worry. ¡°Everyone, the starting price for this Fire Cloud Sparrow¡¯s inner core is 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, announcing the starting price. The price was also very high, and many people were turned away. The sounds of discussion disappeared and were replaced by the sounds of bidding. ¡°Su family, 230,000.¡± ¡°Huai¡¯an City¡¯s Duanmu family, 250,000.¡± ¡°Mu family, 300,000 yuan.¡± ¡°Purple Cloud Holy Land, 350,000 yuan.¡± The bidding voices rose one after another. All the people in the VIP rooms were bidding, so the people in the hall could only watch. The price was already ridiculously expensive, and many could not afford it. ¡°Humph, Su Hanhai, you¡¯ve already broken through to the Nirvana stage, why do you still need the Fire Cloud Sparrow¡¯s inner core?¡± Mu Ming angrily said, because his price was once again suppressed by Su Hanhai. ¡°What do you care?¡± Su Hanhai said, retorting Mu Ming. ¡°Enough, stop arguing. I bid 600,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This is the final price. If you still want to bid, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± On the Purple Cloud Holy Land¡¯s side, Qin Yu raised the price to 600,000 for the last time. This price was almost the limit of the Fire Cloud Sparrow inner core. If he increased the price, even if he could successfully break through to the Nirvana stage, it would still be a loss. This was because many elixirs that could help him break through to the Nirvana stage were far lower than this price. ¡°Hehe, since fellow Daoist Qin Yu wants it, then this old man won¡¯t compete.¡± Su Hanhai said with a smile. He did not raise the price and gave it up. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to Senior Qin Yu for successfully bidding for the inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow.¡± Lin Mo nodded with a smile. He dropped the hammer and announced the results of the auction. [ Congratulations to host for successfully bidding for the third-tier spirit rank Fire Cloud Sparrow inner core ] [ Triggered 3,000 times the profit of the auction ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the tier 4 spirit-grade Fire Cloud Sparrow inner core ] The inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow was still the reward, but this one was even more precious. It was surrounded by many flames. Furthermore, when Lin Mo tried to touch it, the aura of flames on it even burned his palm. ¡°What thick flames. If I consume it, my strength will increase by another level.¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. After this auction ended, he could enter closed-door cultivation. Not mentioning anything else, he would first raise his cultivation level. ¡°Alright, the next auction item¡­¡± The auction continued, and every single item caused a huge commotion. The weakest item was a 2nd tier spirit-grade item. Furthermore, this was a pill formula, and it also caused people to clamor for it. When Lin Mo dropped his hammer and announced the results of the auction, the atmosphere in the auction hall instantly soared. This was because Lin Mo had previously said that there were ten more items up for auction. Now, there was only one item left, which was the final item. At this moment, even the arrogant fourth prince was a little nervous. He really wanted to know what this auction item would be. ¡°Everyone, sorry for the wait. This is the final item for the auction. I will present it now.¡± Looking at the excited crowd below, Lin Mo lifted his head and took out a jade box. Just as he took it out, a wave of pure spiritual energy spread out, followed closely by a wave of rich pill fragrance. At this moment, the entire hall was silent, and the sound of breathing was extremely heavy. ¡°Just as everyone thought¡­ This is a spirit pill.¡± Lin Mo faintly laughed, this was the most precious treasure in Han Yue¡¯s spatial bag. Moreover, the grade of this spirit pill was not low, it was a 7th tier spirit-grade, a grade that could cause countless Nirvana stage experts to fall into a crazy state. ¡°7th tier spirit-grade spirit pill, spirit fusion pill.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and opened the jade box. The pill fragrance continued to spread until the entire auction house was filled with this aura. ¡°What, 7th tier spirit-grade?¡± Everyone was shocked. It was unbelievable. This grade of spirit pill was rarely seen in the entire Eastern Continent. [ Warning, host is auctioning dangerous items. It might damage the host¡¯s reputation. ] At this moment, Lin Mo heard the system¡¯s voice, it was actually a warning. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was stunned, under everyone¡¯s astonished gazes, he put this spirit pill into the system¡¯s storage. [ 7th tier Spirit-grade, spirit fusion pill, only for powerhouses below Nirvana stage to consume, it can greatly improve the strength of the soul, causing it to increase by a large margin. ] [ Note: When this spirit fusing pill is formed, a small amount of death aura will be injected into it. It will corrode the user¡¯s soul and cause irreparable injuries. ] ¡°System, how do we remove the death aura?¡±L in Mo asked. [ we need three Third Sky Nirvana stage powerhouses to protect us. We need to work together to remove the death aura when we consume it. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded and Lin Mo¡¯s expression gradually turned cold. This spirit pill was obtained from Han Yue¡¯s spatial bag. The mastermind had given him so many treasures. At first, he had wanted to frame them, so he had found a source for these treasures. Now, it seemed that those treasures were just a distraction. The true killing move was hidden in the spirit fusion pill. Once he consumed it without knowing anything, he would probably be affected¡­ ¡°Could it be the seventh prince?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He could not understand why the seventh prince would use a 7th tier spirit-grade pill to set up a trap just to deal with him? This obviously did not make sense. Could the seventh prince really be so generous? ¡°Forget it¡­ Let¡¯s auction it first¡­¡± Chapter 296 - Non ¡°Everyone, please calm down. This spirit-fusing pill has a flaw. It¡¯s extremely fatal.¡± Lin Mo comforted everyone, allowing their high spirits to gradually calm down. ¡°Field owner Lin, what kind of flaw is it?¡± ¡°No wonder a -grade 7 treasure would appear. So it has a flaw. This makes sense.¡± ¡°Indeed. However, this level of spirit medicine is also very helpful to Lin Mo. why is he still auctioning it?¡± While everyone was talking, Lin Mo once again opened his hand and took out the spirit fusion pill from the system storage. ¡°This is the tier 7 Spirit Pill, spirit fusion pill. It is only for those below Nirvana realm to consume. It is a divine medicine for the juniors of the big families or sects to cultivate.¡± ¡°But more than that, this spirit fusing pill has a fatal flaw.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression darkened as he spoke with some pity. ¡°The moment this spirit fusing pill was refined into a pill, a trace of death aura was injected into it. It¡¯s extremely hidden.¡± ¡°If the death aura can not be dealt with, then the person who consumed it would most likely have their soul corroded, creating an irreversible situation. ¡°But there are ways to solve it.¡± Looking at the shocked faces of the crowd, Lin Mo opened his mouth and said, ¡°As long as the person who ingested it can find three experts at the third sky of the Nirvana realm and above to protect him, the three of them working together will be able to dispel the death aura.¡± ¡°What, three people at the third sky of the Nirvana Realm?¡± Everyone turned pale with fright. Nirvana Realm experts were very rare, to begin with, and usually, they would be nowhere to be seen. If it were not for the Yanhuang Divine Empire¡¯s cancellation of the order to collect all the resources, Nirvana Realm powerhouses would not have appeared. Even so, it was not that easy to get Nirvana Realm powerhouses to help. Not to mention that there were three of them, and there was a level requirement. ¡°Therefore, this spirit fusing pill isn¡¯t that easy to consume. Everyone, take your time to bid for it. If anything happens, I will not be responsible.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo looked at the spirit fusing pill with a regretful expression and said, ¡°The starting bid is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Let the auction begin.¡± Silence. The atmosphere was different from before. The auction hall was extremely quiet. Everyone was focused on the spirit fusing pill in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. However, even if they tried their best to inspect it, they still didn¡¯t manage to get anything. The spiritual energy on this spirit pill was too dense, they could not find anything abnormal. ¡°Field owner Lin, you said that there¡¯s death energy in this spirit fusing pill¡­ Is that true?¡± An expert did not believe it and asked. He was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and he was very eager to break through to the Nirvana realm. If his soul could be improved, then his chances of breaking through would greatly increase. However, he was unable to remove the flaw that Lin Mo had mentioned. ¡°It¡¯s absolutely true. Because the concealment technique is too good, it¡¯s difficult for you to detect it. However, please believe me.¡± Lin Mo said. The system¡¯s notification wouldn¡¯t be fake. This item couldn¡¯t be ignored. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 310,000.¡± At this moment, the fourth Prince¡¯s voice sounded from the Mu family¡¯s ViIP Room, He was able to find the three Nirvana Realm experts. Although he did not believe Lin Mo¡¯s words, no matter what, he had to auction off the spirit-fusing pill first. ¡°350,000.¡± An old man¡¯s voice sounded. His voice was low and deep. It actually came from the main hall. At this moment, his aura was slightly revealed, causing everyone to be shocked. ¡°Four hundred thousand.¡± Another slightly aged voice sounded. Lin Mo was extremely familiar with it. ¡°Senior Luo?¡± Lin Mo was slightly shocked. Following the source of the voice, he stopped beside the old man who had just placed a bid. Only at this moment did he discover that the three people seated here were all Nirvana Realm beings. Moreover, their auras were extremely strong. ¡°Looks like they are from the imperial family. I wonder which Prince they are loyal to. Or, are they all Jiang Xiyue¡¯s subordinates?¡± With this thought in mind, the auction price continued to rise, and soon the price was raised to 700,000 yuan. Judging from the situation, they would not give up easily and would keep raising the price. ¡°Hehe, my young friend Lin Mo, I have a question to ask you.¡± At this moment, an old man who was about to bid interrupted the auction. ¡°What do you want to ask, Senior?¡± Lin Mo smiled. ¡°This old man wants to know, where did you get this spirit pill? Does it belong to you personally, or did someone else send it to be auctioned off?¡± This question was very strange, causing everyone to be at a loss. ¡°This¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. The origin of this item was somewhat difficult to speak of¡­ ¡°Seven days ago, a farce happened in my auction house. has senior heard of it?¡± After thinking for a long time, Lin Mo still did not hide it. It was just right for him to reveal the origin of all the treasures in his hands in front of so many people. ¡°I know a thing or two. The Mu family and the Cangxuan Holy Land made a hasty conclusion, causing your little friend to be wronged and suffer some grievances¡­¡± The old man said. This matter was not considered a secret in Ancient Flame City. ¡°It¡¯s good that senior knows. Back then, the elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land had a spatial bag with many treasures in it. I took it. ¡°And most of the treasures auctioned today came from this way.¡± Lin Mo said frankly, indicating that it was because his auction house had been destroyed, so these treasures were used as compensation. ¡°This matter, the elder of the Cangxuan Holy Land also acquiesced, so this thing belongs to this junior personally.¡± After saying this, some people discussed fervently, and then recalled what had happened seven days ago. Lin Mo had displayed an extremely strong combat strength. He was at tier 20 of the Dragon transformation realm, and he actually caused a group of experts to be unable to return home. Putting everything else aside, when the Yan Huang Board of Fame was updated, Lin Mo¡¯s ranking would enter the top five. In fact, being able to enter the top three would attract the attention of the royal family. ¡°Hehe, since that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t participate in the competition¡­¡± That old man smiled helplessly and chose to give up. On the other side, the old man who was traveling with him also gave up and gave the spirit fusing pill to Luo Haoyu. Seeing this, Lin Mo finally reacted. In the eyes of outsiders, he was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s subordinate, so it was natural for him to hand over his things to Jiang Xiyue. Then, were not they bound to lose in the auction with Luo Haoyu? After all, they only shouted a number and did not need to give spiritual stones at all. ¡°Since you guys have given up, then it¡¯s mine. 750,000.¡± Luo Hao Yu laughed lightly and shouted out the final price. A tier 7 spirit-grade pill naturally could not be sold at such a price. However, because of this fatal flaw, they could only sell it like this. ¡°Alright, then congratulations to this senior for buying the spirit-fusing pill at a price of 750,000.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and announced the end of the auction. At the same time, he felt rather frustrated. After all, the spirit fusing pill was flawed, would the system give him a rebate? [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the tier 7 incomplete spirit fusing pill ] [ Successfully triggered 500 times rebate ] [ cCngratulations to host for obtaining the spirit rank 7 undamaged spirit fusing pill ] 500 times the rebate, the spirit fusing pill was given, it did not contain any aura of death. Chapter 297 - Leave This made Lin Mo feel pleasantly surprised. He had never expected to encounter such a good thing. He had also coveted the spirit-fusing pill. Now that he had obtained one, it was a big breakthrough for him. ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. From now on, the Lin family¡¯s auction house will be managed by the Su family. I hope that everyone can come and support us.¡±Lin Mo said. He had held many auctions. The fourth prince had also held a trade fair before, and the value of Ancient Flame City had been squeezed out by more than 70% . Although the remaining profits could still be made, it was impossible for Lin Mo to earn as many spirit stones as he did today. The requirements of his devourer body cultivation were too harsh on resources. Thus, it was time to end his trip to Ancient Flame City. Perhaps his next stop would be the imperial city. However, he would face a huge test there. If he revealed his abilities, he would attract the attention of various factions. At the same time, he would also be viewed as an enemy by the princes. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was stunned. Clearly, they did not expect Lin Mo to actually plan to leave Ancient Flame City. ¡°Field owner Lin, why did you leave for no reason?¡± Some people were reluctant because as long as it was an auction held by Lin Mo, there would be a lot of treasures. Even if they could not snatch the most precious ones, those top powers would keep their spirit stones to snatch them. Then, the remaining opportunities would belong to them. ¡°There¡¯s no banquet that doesn¡¯t end. This is my last auction in Ancient Flame City.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, he ignored everyone and walked down the stage. He went to the backyard with Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing. ¡°Master, are we going to leave?¡± Duanmu Jia asked. Although the Sima clan was no longer a threat, the Mu clan was still around. Moreover, the fourth prince was here. It would not be so easy for the Su clan to destroy the Mu clan. If Lin Mo were to leave, the two clans would probably be in a stalemate. ¡°No, this time, it¡¯s just me, Yan Rong, and Lin Die. You guys have to stay in Ancient Flame City.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The imperial city was too dangerous. Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing were very weak and did not even have the strength to protect themselves. If he followed them rashly, Lin Mo was not confident that he could protect the two of them. ¡°Ah?¡± Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing were stunned. They did not expect Lin Mo to not plan to bring them along¡­ ¡°No one from the Su family will manage the auction house, so I need your help. When I settle down in the imperial city, I¡¯ll think of a way to bring you guys over.¡± Lin Mo smiled. With the protection of the Su family, he believed that Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing would definitely be able to make the Lin auction house bigger. When everyone arrived in the backyard, they discovered that an old man had been waiting there for some time. ¡°Senior Luo.¡± Lin Mo stepped forward and bowed. He took out a box and asked, ¡°This is the spirit fusing pill. Senior, are you planning to give it to Xiyue?¡± Luo Haoyu took the box and asked curiously, ¡°You sound like you¡¯re familiar. What is your relationship with His Highness?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Mo scratched his head. He did not know what to say at that moment¡­ ¡°I really don¡¯t understand why His Highness has taken a fancy to you¡­¡± Luo Haoyu stared at Lin Mo and looked around. In terms of talent, he was indeed very strong, but Jiang Xiyue¡¯s talent was not weak either. In fact, because of the support of the royal family¡¯s resources, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s strength was even stronger. There was no reason for her to take a fancy to an unaffiliated cultivator like Lin Mo who was born from the grassroots¡­ ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t dwell on it anymore. I only hope that you won¡¯t disappoint Her Highness.¡± Luo Haoyu nodded and told Lin Mo that he had just checked. This wisp of the death aura within it could be removed. It was indeed as Lin Mo had said. ¡°I will let her Highness take it when I go back. Find someone to protect her. You Don¡¯t have to worry.¡± After saying that, Luo Haoyu asked again, ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t you say that you want the Su family to unify Ancient Flame City? You want to leave before it¡¯s done?¡± ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. I will get rid of the Mu family before I leave.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. Although the fourth prince was living in the city Lord¡¯s mansion now, the Mu family¡¯s every move was under the control of the Nirvana Realm powerhouse beside him. Therefore, he still needed Luo Haoyu¡¯s help. ¡°With Senior¡¯s strength, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for those Nirvana Realm powerhouses to not be able to check on the Mu family¡¯s situation, right?¡±Lin Mo asked. ¡°Of course.¡±Luo Haoyu nodded and said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to rely on Senior¡¯s help. Help me get rid of the Mu family first before going to the Imperial City.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo did not hesitate and briefly told Luo Haoyu about his plan. At the same time, as night fell, Lin Mo slowly walked out from the entrance of the Lin auction house. Yan Rong and Lin Die followed behind him. Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia sent him off and said their goodbyes. ¡°Farewell, Master.¡± After sending each other off, Lin Mo and Yan Rong brought Lin Die along and walked along the streets of Ancient Flame City. Just like that, they left. It seemed like they did not attract anyone¡¯s attention, but in reality, they had completely exposed their whereabouts. Under the eyes of many spies, Lin Mo left the city and disappeared into the mountain range. Many people were surprised that Lin Mo had left just like that. It was really suspicious, but they could not find anything out of the ordinary¡­ ¡°Big Brother, are we going to the Imperial City Now?¡± Lin Die¡¯s face was filled with excitement. She had heard that the imperial city was very big, with many experts and many natural treasures. Now that the imperial family¡¯s ban had been lifted, the imperial city would surely have all sorts of resources circulating. ¡°No, let¡¯s first lose our tails and then find a secluded place to enter seclusion.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This time, he had left, taking all the resources of the Lin auction house with him. What he needed to do now was to enter seclusion to cultivate. Not only he, but Lin Die and Yan Rong also had to enter seclusion. At the same time, in Ancient Flame City. In the Mu family¡¯s meeting hall, the fourth Prince sat at the head and listened to the report of the Mu family¡¯s servants. ¡°You lost him right after we left the city?¡± The fourth prince¡¯s face was filled with displeasure. Lin Mo was only at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He did not expect his spiritual power to be so powerful that he could shake off everyone in just a few moves. ¡°Reporting to the fourth prince, that Lin Mo¡¯s speed is very fast. His pair of flaming wings spread open and he disappeared with his people.¡± ¡°This kind of speed, even the family head can not catch up to him¡­¡± The Mu family¡¯s servant said respectfully. Not only did he lose him, but many people who went to scout for information also lost him. ¡°Forget it. Since he has left, then don¡¯t bother about him. Wait for the life accumulation pill to be delivered. Mu Ming, you go into seclusion for me. Only after breaking through to the Nirvana realm can I leave with peace of mind.¡± The fourth prince waved his hand. He did not want to give up on Ancient Flame City and wanted to share this important city with Jiang Xiyue. However, Su Hanhai was already in the Nirvana realm and had a grudge with Mu Ming. If he did not break through, his safety wouldn¡¯t be guaranteed. ¡°Thank You, Your Highness. I will definitely do my duty and be loyal to you.¡± Mu Ming was extremely excited and quickly knelt down to salute. The fourth prince shook his head impatiently and snorted, ¡°Hmph, loyalty isn¡¯t something that can be said with words. Hurry up and annex the many properties of the Sima clan. Don¡¯t let the Su clan take them all.¡± After sending the people away, his brows were still tightly furrowed. He did not know why, but Lin Mo¡¯s sudden departure made him feel a little uneasy. ¡°Your Highness, Elder Mo and the others are still in Ancient Flame City. It¡¯s said that Luo Haoyu made them stay, but we don¡¯t know their purpose¡­¡± Behind the fourth prince, a guard said, informing him of a piece of news. Chapter 298 - Closed ¡°I got it. Keep a close watch on the Lin auction house to see if Lin Mo has really left¡­¡± While the crowd in ancient flame city was surging, Lin Mo was using his Kun Peng wings to bring Yan Rong and Lin Die along. Lin Mo stopped in a ravine about ten thousand miles away from Ancient Flame City. ¡°This is the place. I¡¯ll set up the formation first and begin my seclusion.¡± Lin Mo said as he took out a rank 9 defensive formation. This was obtained from the auction, and it was just the right time to put it to use. With the protection of the formation, there was no need to worry about their safety. The three of them went into seclusion, digging three caves in the ravine and entering each of them. As streams of spiritual energy appeared, the place returned to its usual calm. In front of Lin Mo, runes flickered, and the shadow of a True Phoenix slowly appeared behind him. He was using the True Phoenix Nirvana technique to cultivate, and every time he used this technique, it was equivalent to getting a new life. In front of Lin Mo, there was an inner core that was emitting raging flames that surrounded him and burned everything. This was the inner core of the Fire Cloud Sparrow, and its bloodline was purer. After consuming it, one¡¯s strength would greatly increase. However, Lin Mo¡¯s constitution was different from others, and it was destined that he would not be able to greatly increase his strength. This was because more than half of the spiritual energy in the Fire Cloud Sparrow¡¯s inner core had been devoured by the God Devouring Body. Only a small portion was left for him. Moreover, his breakthrough required even more spiritual energy than ordinary people, and the further he progressed, the more cultivation resources he would consume. With the addition of the Soul Devouring Art, the true Phoenix Nirvana art refined the spiritual energy over and over again, and the amount that was truly absorbed by Lin Mo was extremely small. The True Phoenix Phantom revolved around Lin Mo, following the symbols of the Soul Devouring Art. This was not his first time using the true Phoenix Nirvana technique. Every time he used it, he would receive a different comprehension. In addition, Lin Mo had also swallowed the undamaged spirit fusing pill, and his soul power had also increased. In just a few short days, the spiritual energy in the fire cloud sparrow¡¯s inner core was continuously decreasing. The flames on Lin Mo¡¯s body were also getting denser and denser, and the true phoenix seemed to be wrapping around him, as if it was beginning to enter Nirvana. After a few more days, Lin Mo¡¯s body was completely enveloped by the flames, forming a cocoon. This was formed from pure fire energy, and it allowed Lin Mo to comprehend the Dao of fire from within. Another three days passed. A powerful undulation shook the cave, and cracks appeared on the cocoon formed by the flames. ¡°Crack.¡± With a soft sound, Lin Mo emerged from the cocoon. His eyes were burning with intense flames. Under his feet, lava flowed out from the cocoon. It was the purest fire energy imaginable. A black halo appeared, and the God Devouring Body swallowed all the scattered energy into its body. At the same time, the flames around Lin Mo started to change slowly with his steps. They turned into lava that flowed in the air like water. In the next moment, they turned into fireballs that were as bright as the sun. Soon, the Flames in Lin Mo¡¯s hands turned into a sharp sword that was completely red. This was formed from the condensation of flames. His understanding of flames had already reached a very deep level. If it were not for the fact that he had not kept up with his cultivation, he might have broken through to the Nirvana stage right after he entered closed door cultivation¡­ His control over the flames had already reached the peak. At this moment, Lin Mo could feel that he might be able to kill a tier 30 Dragon Transformation Realm practitioner just by using the power of the flames¡­ ¡°My current cultivation has also received a qualitative increase¡­¡± As his aura bloomed, Lin Mo¡¯s entire body was enveloped in flames. At this moment, his level had already reached tier 24 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°I¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation for half a month. I Hope Mu Ming hasn¡¯t broken through to the Nirvana stage yet¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Time was of the essence. What he needed to do now was to return to Ancient Flame City and find an opportunity to kill Mu Ming¡­ Lin Die and Yan Rong had not come out of their closed-door cultivation yet. Lin Mo had given them a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures, so the two of them were still in closed-door cultivation. After leaving them a message, Lin Mo left this place. In the mountain range, a fiery red figure flashed by quickly. The golden wings on his back flapped slightly, and in an instant, he was over 1,000 meters away. This speed was too fast. Even the demonic beasts in the mountain did not react in time. This person was Lin Mo. He left the place where he was in closed-door cultivation and rushed to Ancient Flame City. Luo Haoyu had told him that the fourth prince¡¯s henchmen had been mobilized from the imperial city and were going to send the accumulation pill over. Their goal was naturally to allow Mu Ming to break through to the Nirvana stage so that he could contend with the Su family. According to their estimates, it would take about half a month for it to arrive. There was not much time left for Lin Mo. He was more than 10,000 miles away from Ancient Flame City. However, with this terrifying speed, in less than two hours, the outline of Ancient Flame City appeared at the end of his line of sight. At this point, Lin Mo restrained all of his aura. He wore a black robe and a bamboo hat. He was close to Ancient Flame City, and demonic beasts were no longer common. Occasionally, he could feel the aura of some humans. Lin Mo did not dare to be negligent and hid himself. Although Ancient Flame City was in good order, it was very chaotic outside the city, especially in the mountain range. Raiders, clack bandits, and mercenary groups could be seen almost everywhere. Especially when the ban of the Yanhuang dynasty was lifted, all kinds of vicious criminals also came out. As they approached Ancient Flame City, Lin Mo was just about to enter when he was blocked by a group of people. ¡°Hehe, take off your bamboo hat and hand over the treasures on you. I¡¯ll spare your life.¡± The leader was a demon beast with the head of a tiger and the body of a human. It was a demon beast in the form of a human, but it had not yet left its beast form. ¡°Roar¡­¡± A blood-curdling scream was heard, followed by the roar of a tiger that resounded through the sky. A few minutes later, Lin Mo was fiddling with the spatial bags in his hands as he pursed his lips. ¡°You have the nerve to come out and rob me with such little ability¡­¡± He took out an inner core from the tiger¡¯s body under his feet. After throwing out a few balls of flames, Lin Mo walked towards Ancient Flame City. Soon, a huge fire was lit, burning a mountain into ashes. At the same time, Lin Mo also entered Ancient Flame City. What surprised Lin Mo was that today was the Lin auction house¡¯s once-a-month auction¡­ It seemed that after Lin Mo left, Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing changed the rules. The auction would be held once every half a month. Some of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s business groups were also called over by Qianqian. They would go through the auction once every half a month and provide a large number of treasures for auction¡­ ¡°An auction? It¡¯s just right. It¡¯ll attract everyone¡¯s attention.¡± Lin Mo smiled and walked to the place where the Lin auction house was located. ¡°Hello, May I know what treasure you wish to auction?¡± A waiter came out to welcome him. Lin Mo handed over the tier eight demonic beast inner core that he had just obtained. ¡°This is a tier eight demonic beast inner core?¡± This waiter was quite perceptive. He recognized the details of this inner core at a glance. In the past, a tier 8 inner core could be used as the final auction item. However, now, it could only be used as an opener. ¡°Yes, sir. The auction will be held tonight. Please register here and leave your soul imprint.¡± The attendant handed over a piece of paper and asked Lin Mo to fill in the information and leave his soul imprint. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Duanmu Jia and Miao Qing walked in. ¡°Greetings, owner Duanmu Jia and manager Miao Qing.¡±The waiter quickly bowed. ¡°You may leave¡­¡± Duanmu Jia sent the waiter away and Miao Qing locked them up. Seeing this, Lin Mo took off his bamboo hat and smiled. ¡°You came so quickly¡­¡± Chapter 299 - Assassination ¡°Master, you¡¯ve finally come out of closed-door cultivation,¡± Duanmu Jia said happily. It had been half a month. If Lin Mo still did not come, the plan would be put on hold. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Senior Luo held a banquet in the city Lord¡¯s mansion three days ago and has been inviting all the heroes to meet. ¡°And Mu Ming has been absent. It¡¯s said that he has already obtained the life accumulation pill and is about to break through to the Nirvana stage.¡± Luo Haoyu, Su Hanhai, and the others often invited people to gather. Their purpose was to create an alibi. However, Lin Mo had to personally kill Mu Ming. However, now that Mu Ming had obtained the life accumulation pill, who knew if he would successfully break through. If he really succeeded, then Lin Mo would be sending himself to his death if he went over just like that. ¡°Senior Luo has secretly gone to take a look. He shouldn¡¯t have broken through yet. If master wants to take action, I suggest that we do it tonight,¡± Miao Qing said. They had sent out an invitation to the auction house tonight, therefore many people would come. Due to Lin Mo¡¯s previous reputation, even if the final item was not absolutely precious, it was still not bad. ¡°Spread the news that the final item for tonight will be this.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head and took out a scroll. This was a spirit-grade tier 4 cultivation method and a set of martial arts that Yan Rong had obtained from the Ancient Flame Ruins inheritance. Using it as the final item was already pretty good. ¡°Yes.¡± Duanmu Jia nodded her head and took the scroll, instructing her servants to make the arrangements. After the news was spread, Ancient Flame City was once again shocked. They did not expect that the Lin clan auction house would still have treasures to sell. They originally thought that it would just be a normal auction, but they did not expect that they would still have to fight over it. For a time, the topic of Ancient Flame City became the Lin clan¡¯s auction house. ¡°Speaking of which, why do you think this Lin Mo is fine? Why did he leave Ancient Flame City?¡± Someone on the street discussed. ¡°Of course, he must have been called back by the eighth Prince.¡± ¡°What Daoist brother said makes sense. Moreover, the Jingdou Dao conference is about to begin. Many geniuses are probably about to leave.¡± Everyone nodded in agreement. Moreover, Lin Mo had made use of the Ancient Flame Ruins¡¯ reputation to earn quite a number of spirit stones. He could be said to be the biggest winner. As the saying goes, ¡®quit while you¡¯re ahead¡¯. Moreover, the fourth prince had personally come to Ancient Flame City. It was reasonable for Lin Mo to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. Under the night sky, a crescent moon hung in the sky above Ancient Flame City. The entrance of the Lin clan¡¯s auction house was already filled with people. Many important figures had come to participate. Among them were the fourth Prince and a group of Nirvana realm experts. Lin Mo sneaked into the Mu family under the cover of the night and easily avoided the guards. ¡°Eh, there¡¯s a formation plate?¡± Lin Mo had just sneaked in when he encountered an obstacle. There was a small altar blocking the path to the depths of the Mu family. Through the formation, Lin Mo could see that there was another expert guarding inside. It was an old man with his eyes closed. He was also in a state of cultivation. The formation had the ability to gather a certain amount of spiritual energy. This old man was using this spiritual energy to cultivate. Looking at his aura, Lin Mo could sense that this old man¡¯s strength was at tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was an expert. However, this kind of strength was not a problem for Lin Mo. Right now, he was only worried about one thing, and that was that Mu Ming had already successfully broken through and was currently stabilizing his realm. If that was really the case, then he would simply be seeking his own death. However, Lin Mo was not the kind of person who would retreat halfway. He activated his devouring power and opened a door that was neither too big nor too small on the array formation. He mobilized his spiritual qi and circulated the God Devouring Body. The domain of the God Devouring Body spread out and instantly enveloped the entire array formation. The old man instantly opened his eyes and sensed the powerful aura on Lin Mo¡¯s body. He wanted to send a message. However, it was already too late. The Kun Peng Wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back extended and he lightly flapped them before arriving in front of this person. The God devouring body¡¯s domain restricted everything. No matter how the old man spoke, it was difficult for him to make a sound. At the same time, his spiritual Qi was continuously devoured by the God Devouring Body¡¯s domain. He became weaker and weaker until he was finally unable to move. ¡°Who are you?¡± The old man asked, his eyes filled with shock. He found it hard to believe that the person in front of him was only at tier 24 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even if he launched a sneak attack, he would not be able to defeat him outright. Such a result was hard for him to accept and he could not understand it. ¡°Hehe, I thought everyone in the Mu family hated me. There¡¯s still someone who doesn¡¯t know me¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°Lin Mo, it¡¯s you.¡± This person¡¯s expression changed drastically and he was extremely terrified. Did Lin Mo not leave Ancient Flame City? Why did he suddenly appear here again? Moreover, the fourth Prince and the Nirvana stage powerhouse beside him had gone to participate in the auction. If Lin Mo really barged in, the consequences would be unimaginable. Once something happened to Mu Ming, the entire Mu family would be abandoned by the fourth prince. Thinking of this, the old man¡¯s face turned even paler. ¡°Hehe, have you guessed why I¡¯m here?¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. After that, he looked at the back of the passage and discovered that this place was covered by a spirit-grade array. It was impossible to forcefully break it. ¡°How do I enter?¡± Lin Mo asked, ¡°Tell me, and I can spare your life. I won¡¯t kill you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. This formation was set up by a Nirvana stage warrior. It¡¯s almost impossible to break it with brute force.¡± The old man said. Hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly had a headache. He had a few formations, but he was not a spirit formation master. If he had a formation map, he could set it up or break it. If he did not have it, it would be terrible. ¡°Sigh, where can I put the formation map of this thing¡­¡± Lin Mo was at a loss for words. Could it be that he had to analyze this formation on the spot? This was simply unrealistic. ¡°What are you doing?¡± While Lin Mo was still thinking, someone from the side seized the opportunity. His body actually swelled up, and the spiritual energy within his body became chaotic. ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits.¡± Lin Mo made his move, and a vermillion bird flew through the air, killing this old man. At such a close distance, the old man did not even have the time to self-destruct before he was killed. Lin Mo sighed. Now that there was no one to ask, this formation was even harder to break. ¡°Perhaps, it can cause a little chaos, perhaps it can let the other party out¡­¡± Lin Mo thought carefully for a moment. The Mu family was still quite a distance away from the Lin auction house. If a spirit formation was used to isolate the aura, even a Nirvana Realm cultivator would find it hard to detect. Thinking of this, Lin Mo no longer hesitated. He flew to the sky above the Mu family and set up a level nine defensive array. In an instant, the center of Mu Ming¡¯s secluded cultivation area, with a diameter of 800 meters, was covered by the array. No movement could be heard. ¡°Eh, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°This is a defensive array. Since when did our Mu family have such a big array?¡± When the patrolling Mu family disciples saw this, their faces were filled with confusion. ¡°Enemy attack, quickly send a message¡­ Ah.¡± A bloody light blossomed. Lin Mo held a long sword condensed from flames and killed the Mu family disciples who had discovered him. However, the message was still sent out. Everyone in the Mu family was shocked awake. A few elders appeared and took charge of the situation. Just as they were about to counterattack, Lin Mo¡¯s sword cut their throats. ¡°Bastard, who the hell are you?¡± Chapter 300 - Slaying Mu Ming An elder said angrily. When had their Mu family ever been bullied like this? Especially today, the news that Mu Ming was about to break through to the Nirvana realm had long spread through the streets and alleys. Under such circumstances, who would dare to provoke the Mu Family. ¡°No matter who you are, if you provoke the Mu Family, you will die.¡± A few elders held jade seals in their hands and activated the Mu family¡¯s grand array. Some of them had just been set up and originated from the fourth prince. However, this was still extraordinary. One of them was already close to the spirit rank. Even Lin Mo did not dare to take it head on. In the end, he used an opening to summon the Origin Spirit Puppet and used its powerful physical body to block the grand array. ¡°Hehe, where¡¯s your clan leader Mu Ming? call him out.¡± Lin Mo laughed as he approached step by step. The Ancient Sword of Desolation slashed down and killed all the Mu clan disciples that tried to stop him along the way. ¡°Quick, call the Great Elder¡­¡± The few elders were flustered. Someone took out a jade talisman and crushed it. ¡°The Mu family¡¯s great elder?¡± Lin Mo recalled the information Duanmu Jia had provided him. The Mu family¡¯s great elder was at tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm and was of the same generation as Mu Ming. However, due to his limited talent, he probably had no hope of breaking through in this lifetime. ¡°This is the Origin Spirit Puppet. Are You Lin Mo?¡± The first elder had just appeared and immediately recognized the Origin Spirit Puppet. At the same time, he also recognized Lin Mo under the black robe. ¡°What, Lin Mo?¡± Everyone was shocked. They could not believe that the person in front of them was actually Lin Mo who had left for more than half a month. ¡°Didn¡¯t he leave?¡± ¡°Since he¡¯s already here, there¡¯s no need to leave. If we kill you, the fourth prince will definitely put our Mu family in an important position.¡± A few Mu family elders said as they activated the array formation to suppress the puppet. Seeing this, the first elder immediately attacked. A powerful wave of spiritual energy burst forth, wanting to kill Lin Mo. Lin Mo did not hesitate either. The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread out, and flames curled around his body. His God Devouring Body domain spread out, and he also slashed down with the Ancient Sword of Desolation in his hand. Clang The first elder was extremely shocked, because the spirit-grade longsword in his hand had actually been broken by Lin Mo in one strike. ¡°Courting death.¡± The heaven and earth spiritual energy fluctuated, and the Great Elder¡¯s bones crackled as he threw a punch toward Lin Mo. ¡°Qilin steps¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered and did not retreat in the slightest. He took four steps forward, and a wisp of purple divine light appeared beneath his feet, ruthlessly kicking the Great Elder¡¯s fist. ¡°Boom.¡± In just an instant, Lin Mo¡¯s figure remained motionless. On the other hand, the Great Elder¡¯s arm had been broken by this wisp of purple divine light. His body was blown away and he crashed into the place where Mu Ming was in closed-door cultivation. ¡°Got your attention now¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered. Although Mu Ming was in closed-door cultivation, he still felt that something was wrong with such a big movement. However, his cultivation had reached a critical moment and he did not want to give up. He wanted to wait until he broke through to the Nirvana stage before he came out of closed-door cultivation. ¡°If you don¡¯t come out, then the Mu family can only be exterminated.¡± Lin Mo sneered. The Great Elder had lost an arm and his battle strength was greatly reduced. He was at a disadvantage in the battle with Lin Mo. Soon, the two of them charged towards the Mu family¡¯s medicinal field. Lin Mo found an opportunity and took all the spiritual herbs inside. While retreating, Lin Mo also used the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. A Vermillion Bird Phantom burned with Vermillion Bird Divine Flame and burned the Mu family¡¯s library. ¡°How dare you!¡± The Great Elder was extremely furious. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was extraordinary, he was no match for him at all. Instead, he suffered injuries by Lin Mo one after another. Moreover, the Mu family¡¯s disciples were also massacred. They wanted to escape, but they discovered that a defensive formation had unknowingly enveloped the outside world. ¡°Wait, is this¡­ A primordial Vermilion Bird Tehnique?¡± ¡°And the one on your back, are those the Kun Peng Wings?¡± Very quickly, the first elder discovered some clues. This was because the characteristics of the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits and Kun Peng Wings were too obvious. ¡°Have you seen through it? It doesn¡¯t matter. In any case, all of you are going to die¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered. With a slap, he killed a few more Mu family disciples. ¡°Kid, do you really think you can escape?¡± An angry roar sounded. From the formation in the distance, Mu Ming rushed out with a face full of anger. The Mu family had suffered a heavy loss after Lin Mo¡¯s disturbance. They had completely lost the qualifications to compete with the Su family. Moreover, because of Lin Mo¡¯s disturbance, he failed to break through to the Nirvana stage in a state of uneasiness. He could not imagine how furious the fourth prince was. However, if he could capture Lin Mo alive, the archaic Vermillion Bird and the archaic Kun Peng¡¯s spells would be enough to make up for it. Even if Lin Mo only controlled incomplete techniques, it was still better than the top-tier martial arts of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It could be said that as long as he handed these two techniques over to the fourth prince, the fourth prince would basically sit firmly on the throne. He would also become the number one meritorious official, becoming a famous figure of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Hey, if you continue to think for a while longer, I will kill all the members of the Mu family.¡± Within the defensive formation, Lin Mo kept slaughtering, and the Mu family¡¯s disciples and elders died one by one. The Archaic Divine Beast¡¯s spell had been exposed, and these people had to die. Otherwise, once the news spread, there would be trouble. Mu Ming was furious, and he joined hands with the first elder to attack Lin Mo. The exchange of blows caused a huge commotion. Although Mu Ming failed to break through, his strength did not decrease but instead increased by a few points. Right now, he was only one step away from the Nirvana stage. At the very least, the Origin Spirit Puppet that was originally able to suppress Mu Ming was now suppressed by Mu Ming instead. The powerful strength that erupted from tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm level 31 exceeded Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to delay any further. He executed the Qilin steps and locked onto the first elder. He took four steps forward and stepped towards the first Elder¡¯s head. ¡°How can this be¡­¡± The first elder was shocked. Such a powerful move did not expend much energy when Lin Mo used it. ¡°Bang!¡± A terrifying Shockwave swept over, and the Great Elder¡¯s body exploded. Lin Mo¡¯s Qilin steps did not lose any of its power, and a deep pit was created on the ground. The intense shockwave rippled, and the entire Mu clan was alarmed. Many elders appeared. Knowing that something had happened in the defensive formation, they attacked frantically. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to delay. He joined hands with the Origin Spirit Puppet to fight against Mu Ming. His body had gone through countless baptisms of heavenly and earthly treasures. Coupled with the augmentation of the divine devouring body, even Mu Ming, who was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, found it difficult to resist. Coupled with Lin Mo¡¯s control of the Flame Dao, his weapons and martial arts had the advantage, and he also had the help of the Origin Spirit Puppet. Mu Ming was not a match at all. Soon, he was injured. ¡°Rumble.¡± The Vermillion Bird exploded forward, and a dense aura of flames spread out, and traces of the Vermillion Bird Divine Flames burned all over the ground. The Origin Spirit Puppet threw a punch, ruthlessly hitting Mu Ming¡¯s chest. In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared behind him, and there was a wisp of purple divine light. The Qilin step contained extremely terrifying power, and it ruthlessly kicked at the back of Mu Ming¡¯s heart. Mu Ming let out a blood-curdling scream. He could no longer hold on and his body cracked. Finally, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s really troublesome to deal with you¡­¡± After the battle ended, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, the defensive formation that enveloped this place was also filled with cracks. ¡°The fourth prince and the others have also received the news, right? I have to leave quickly,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. However, he still cleaned up the battlefield. The bodies of Mu Ming and the others were burned by him, and the places where they had fought were also burned by Lin Mo. After everything was settled, Lin Mo wrapped himself in his soul power and quietly left the Mu residence. Chapter 301 - News of Bai Luo In the boundless mountains, Lin Mo had wings on his back and was enveloped in flames as he rapidly traversed. After he killed Mu Ming, he did not stay in Ancient Flame City for long and quickly left. Currently, as he traversed through the mountains, no one would blame him for Mu Ming¡¯s death. The Mu family, which had lost Mu Ming, the Great Elder, and a group of experts, could only be destroyed after the fourth prince left. Unless the fourth prince was really willing to spend all his money, Lin Mo would have won this battle. ¡°I wonder if Lin die and Yan Rong have come out of seclusion,¡±Lin Mo muttered to himself. He first came to the place where he had entered seclusion. However, the place was already in a mess, as if it had experienced a great battle. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had only left for a day, how could there be such a huge change in this place. ¡°Lin Die is fine¡­¡±after carefully sensing it, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Die had returned the profits from the auction and had a connection with him that originated from his soul. If something happened, he would be able to sense it. After searching around, Lin Mo found some footprints. There were traces of humans and demonic beasts. ¡°Not long ago, there was a battle here,¡±Lin Mo said, and Yan Rong and Lin Die¡¯s auras were lighter. ¡°Lin Mo searched around, but he still couldn¡¯t find Yan Rong and Lin Die. Finally, with his outstanding soul power, he found the information Yan Rong left in a cave.¡± See You in the Imperial City! The auras of Lin Die and Yan Rong could be seen in the cave. Besides that, there were also spatial fluctuations. The two of them used the spatial teleportation formation to leave. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. Something must have happened in this mountainous area, causing Yan Rong to have no choice but to take Lin die and leave. When he thought about how he had been searching the entire way and how there were traces of battle everywhere, he furrowed his brows tightly. He did not expect that such a thing would actually happen in the vast and boundless mountains. Following that, Lin Mo searched the entire way, wanting to find out what exactly had happened. However, the result shocked him greatly. There were quite a number of mercenary groups here. Some of them even had powerhouses at the dragonification stage rank-31. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong. Something must have happened here.¡± Seven days later, Lin Mo was deep in thought on a mountain peak. He had already encountered several mercenary groups. They all had the same goal, which was to escort the merchant groups. However, Lin Mo¡¯s sharp senses noticed that these people who were nominally from the merchant groups were actually not merchants at all. He secretly observed that these people should be hiding something. ¡°There¡¯s a town ahead. I¡¯d better go there first to gather some information.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself, because he did not understand what was going on either. It was better for him to gather some information. Jade Cloud City was a relatively small town. Its scale was not even as big as Lin City, but fortunately, it was located in the center of Ancient Flame City and another important city, Heavenly Cloud City. Thus, it had a relatively wide circulation of business. At the same time, the news here was also relatively well-informed. Lin Mo walked alone in the mountains. There were many mercenary groups here, and they were all here to hunt demonic beasts. However, their levels were generally not very high. They were the permanent mercenary groups of Blue Cloud City. Lin Mo mingled among them and followed them into the city. However, as soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong. This was because many people were staring at him and his group. This was especially so after he had split up with the mercenary group after entering, allowing the people in the dark to continuously release their soul power to check. This made Lin Mo very surprised. Was there a need to be so cautious? Even a passerby like him had to be checked¡­ ¡°This is very fishy. Just those who are these people? They¡¯re at least in tier 28 or tier 27 in the Dragon Transformation Realm, I can already feel more than a dozen of them.¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. This kind of lineup was already comparable to Ancient Flame City from before. Lin Mo stayed in Jade Cloud City and waited for two whole days, but he did not see any movement. However, on the third day, the entire Jade Cloud City had a change. A spiri-grade great formation was activated and sealed this place. ¡°Heavens, what¡¯s this?¡± Some people cried out in surprise. In Jade Cloud City, many merchants were moving between Ancient Flame City and Heavenly Cloud City. Some of them decided to leave today, but they found that there was a great formation sealing this place, making it difficult for them to leave. ¡°This is a formation that forbids flying, which means that the spatial teleportation formation can no longer be used.¡± The vendors who stopped in Jade Cloud City were all shocked, not understanding what had happened. ¡°Alas, what should have happened will happen anyway. Everyone, be careful. It¡¯s best not to go out for the time being.¡± ¡°Lord Bao, do you know anything? Tell me about it. I¡¯ve recently accepted an escort mission.¡± ¡°Escort? Can¡¯t you see that we can¡¯t even get out?¡± In Biyun city, many experts felt uneasy and did not understand what was going on. Soon, though, news came that they could still go out, but they had to go through layers of checks. At the same time, there was also news that this matter was related to the Qinghuai Holy Land. The Holy Land had almost sent out their entire force to capture one person. ¡°If any of you have seen this person, you can report to the ten thousand family auction house to confirm that the report is true. The reward is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°If the target is captured because of this news, the reward will be 1,000,000 low-grade spirit stones.¡± A large group of people walked on the streets and posted a wanted notice, offering a reward for others. Lin Mo also received a wanted notice. It was a drawing of a beautiful woman. Her light blue eyes were extremely intelligent, and they had a strange vertical pupil. The information on the wanted notice showed that this person was a demonic beast in human form. As for what kind of demonic beast it was, Lin Mo did not know. After reading it, Lin Mo casually threw the wanted notice away. He did not want to get involved in such matters. However, since he was already here, he did not mind going to the auction house to take a look. However, what made him feel regretful was that the last time the auction was held was only half a month ago. There was still half a month before the auction was to be held. Lin Mo could only walk around helplessly. Jade Cloud City was sealed off, so he could not leave now. Although he could leave after exposing his identity, this would create another problem. The Mu family had just met with an accident, and Lin Mo had already left Ancient Flame City more than twenty days ago. At the very least, he would be in Heavenly Cloud City now. Once he was exposed, even if there was no evidence, some people would think that Lin Mo was the one who killed Mu Ming. ¡°Eh!¡± Walking on the road, Lin Mo was a little surprised. His spiritual power sensed a different aura. In front of him, a peddler was selling the items on the table. What surprised Lin Mo was that among these items, there was a familiar aura. ¡°Sir, where did you get this jade pendant?¡± Lin Mo walked forward, grabbed a jade pendant and asked. ¡°I obtained it by chance. If you want it, you can exchange it with the Yuan regeneration pill.¡± The stall owner was a woman, and her voice was calm as she spoke. However, Lin Mo could still detect something amiss from her voice. This woman had suffered serious internal injuries¡­ Moreover, the Yuan regeneration pill was a low grade ninth tier spirit pill. It was the best medicine for healing injuries. After careful examination, Lin Mo discovered another problem. That extremely familiar aura on the jade pendant was actually from an acquaintance. ¡°This is¡­ Bai Luo¡¯s jade pendant¡­¡± Chapter 302 - Holy Maiden of the Qing Huai Holy Land ¡°You have to tell me the value and function of this thing, right?¡± Lin Mo suppressed his emotions and asked. He could confirm that this jade pendant had Bai Luo¡¯s aura. After all, Lin Mo had resonated with her divine sense before, so he was very familiar with her aura. As long as he was within a certain range, he would be able to detect it. Looking at the woman in front of him, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze changed. His soul power spread out, wanting to see her appearance under the bamboo hat. ¡°What are you doing?¡± In the next moment, the woman cried out in alarm and retreated. Under the bamboo hat, a pair of vigilant eyes stared at Lin Mo with some uneasiness. ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He extended his soul power, and his aura started to change, gradually mimicking Bai Luo¡¯s aura. Even though it did not seem like it, it was enough to prove that if the person before him knew Bai Luo, she would definitely be able to sense it. As expected, when Lin Mo released his aura, the other party was clearly taken aback. Beneath the bamboo hat, her eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°I can help you with your injuries. If you trust me, follow me.¡± Lin Mo said, but he did not stop there. After all, the commotion earlier had attracted the attention of quite a number of people. He walked towards the end of the street, wanting to return to the inn he had stayed at previously. After hesitating for a while, the woman also packed up her stall and left with Lin Mo. ¡°As expected, it has something to do with Bai Luo.¡± Lin Mo said softly. This woman was not simple. To be able to sense his soul power, her strength was definitely extraordinary. Moreover, Lin Mo also discovered that while she was following him, he was swept by waves of powerful soul power. If it were not for his soul power being equally shocking, he really would not have been able to discover it. These people were hiding in the dark. Anyone who wanted to get close to this woman would be targeted. ¡°The weakest one here is at least at tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. I¡¯m afraid there are still Nirvana Realm experts that I haven¡¯t noticed¡­¡± As Lin Mo pondered, he coincidentally bumped into a group of people. It was a few people with demonic beast heads who were searching the city. ¡°Are you looking for death? How dare you bump into us?¡± Someone berated. The other party had a wolf head and a human body. He held a golden broadsword in his hand and slashed at Lin Mo. Golden light flickered. The broadsword revealed its sharpness and could tear through metal. ¡°Bang.¡± Lin Mo frowned. Why did such a group of people come from Jade Cloud City? Facing the golden broadsword, he raised his hand to receive it. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about some things. I didn¡¯t mean to offend you,¡± He said slowly. ¡°You¡­¡± The wolf-headed man was shocked. The broadsword pressed down hard, but it did not move at all. Facing Lin Mo¡¯s mountain-like strength, he was not a match. ¡°How dare you attack us. Brothers, take him down.¡± In the distance, there were two wolf-headed men who drew their broadswords and also slashed at Lin Mo. When the others saw this, they attacked Lin Mo one after another. The weakest of the bunch was at tier 27th level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, just as they made their move, the weapons in their hands were received by Lin Mo at an extremely fast speed and were broken. Everyone was shocked. They did not expect these demonic beasts to run amok in the city. Not long after they walked out, they encountered fierce people. Lin Mo did not use any heavy blows. After breaking the weapons of these people, he looked at them coldly. ¡°I said, I didn¡¯t mean to offend you. If you continue to pester me, Don¡¯t blame me for being merciless.¡± When these people saw Lin Mo¡¯s strength, they did not dare to make a move. They looked at Lin Mo warily and didn¡¯t dare to make a move. After chasing these people away, Lin Mo waved his hand at the woman behind him. After that, he grabbed her wrist and quickly left the place. This lady¡¯s wrist was very thin and extremely soft. Lin Mo could feel the warmth from her body when he held it. Lin Mo did not have the time to care about this warmth as he quickly brought her to the inn. However, just as he was about to enter the inn, dozens of powerful spiritual powers swept across the inn at the same time. Lin Mo finally sensed the aura of a nirvana stage expert. It was extremely powerful. Ordinary people would not be able to detect these spies. If Lin Mo had not been baptized by various natural treasures, it was likely that he would not have been able to detect them. ¡°Could it be that the one being chased is this lady?¡± Lin Mo was startled. He thought of a possibility. This was because there were so many experts protecting him, yet he was still facing a difficult situation. There must be a connection between them. After entering the inn, Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before slowly taking off the bamboo hat on his head. He revealed his original appearance. Doing so was very risky. If the other party leaked his information, then his previous plans would be in vain. ¡°Who are you?¡± The woman looked at Lin Mo. . At first, she thought that she had met someone who had fought side by side with her before. However, she did not know this person before her. ¡°My name is Lin Mo,¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°You can take off your bamboo hat now, right? What¡¯s your relationship with her?¡± He looked at the other party curiously. Bai Luo¡¯s jade pendant was on her body, so she must have interacted with Bai Luo before. Moreover, their relationship was most likely pretty good. Otherwise, Bai Luo would not have gifted him with treasures. ¡°Lin Mo¡­ So It¡¯s you¡­¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, the lady heaved a sigh of relief. Her tense expression also relaxed as she took off the bamboo hat on her head. She was very beautiful, otherworldly and lively. Her pair of pale blue eyes, which were pale due to her injuries, appeared delicate and pitiful. ¡°As expected, you¡¯re the one that¡¯s wanted¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. What kind of Luck was this? How could he randomly meet someone who was wanted¡­ ¡°Why? Do you want to capture me to receive a reward?¡± The woman looked at Lin Mo and opened her red lips slightly. ¡°If I really do that, the Nirvana Realm powerhouse guarding outside will directly kill me¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and immediately asked about the woman¡¯s identity. ¡°To be protected by a Nirvana Realm powerhouse like this, your identity shouldn¡¯t be simple, right?¡± Lin Mo said. This person was at least a holy maiden of the Holy Land. Moreover, because of her relationship with Bai Luo, her identity might be even more terrifying. ¡°I am the new Saintess of the Qinghuai Holy Land, Qing Xi¡­¡± The woman said, revealing her identity. At the same time, she told Lin Mo that the ones who were chasing him were not others, but the people of the Qinghuai Holy Land. Other than that, there were also the subordinates of the crown prince. ¡°It has something to do with the crown prince?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. At the same time, he remembered that when he first met Yan Rong, the latter had told him some things about the Qinghuai Holy Land. Something had happened in the Qinghuai Holy Land. She was originally the orphan of the small village at the foot of the mountain gate of the Qinghuai Holy Land. She had been picked up by Qing Shi, the sect master of the Qinghuai Holy Land, fifteen years ago. The latter had felt sorry for her and had wanted to take her in as a disciple. However, he had not expected that she had no way to cultivate and could only give up. ¡°Senior Qing Shi saved me and gave the village a sum of money so that the villagers could raise me up.¡± However, half a year ago, everything changed. A group of mysterious people came to the village and started a massacre. The village chief who had raised her was killed. Fortunately, the disciples of the Qing Huai Holy Land arrived in time and saved him. In the end, a mysterious expert came and said that Qing Xi¡¯s physique was special and that she had the bloodline of a demonic beast in her body. Now that she showed signs of atavism, she should be the Holy Land¡¯s Saintess. ¡°I became the Saintess of the Holy Land just like that. This was supposed to be a good thing, but I accidentally heard a piece of news¡­¡± Chapter 303 - The Breath The Qinghuai Holy Land intended to move closer to the eighth prince, but in reality, it was controlled by the mysterious expert behind him. That mysterious expert was the crown prince¡¯s man, and he himself was only a tool. The crown prince wanted better talent, and after searching for a long time, he finally found his half-human, half-demon atavism bloodline. ¡°As long as I devour it, Crown Prince Jiang Cheng¡¯s talent will increase. It¡¯s enough for him to rule the entire Yanhuang Divine dynasty. He has big plans¡­¡± Qing Xi shook her head. These were not what she should be thinking about. Right now, she only wanted to save her life. Therefore, half a month ago, she escaped. An elder of the Qinghuai Holy Land was willing to help her and escort her along the way. On the way, she also met Bai Luo, who was traveling around. She was once saved and formed a good relationship with her. ¡°This jade pendant was given to me by Miss Bai Luo back then. It can withstand an attack from a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.¡± Qing Xi said with some reluctance. This was a tier 1 spirit-grade treasure¡ª-, which was equivalent to a defensive talisman. However, before she escaped from the Qinghuai Holy Land, she was already injured. The life force in her body was constantly flowing out. If she did not consume the vitality pill quickly, she would die soon. Therefore, she could only bear the pain and sell it. ¡°You can keep the jade pendant. You can use these spirit herbs first. If you trust me, I can bring you away¡­¡± Lin Mo took out some spirit herbs and handed them to Qing Xi. After that, he stood up and left. He did not stay in the inn. This time, he did not bring his bamboo hat. Instead, he chose to disguise himself so that he wouldn¡¯t be easily discovered. This time, he came to the auction in Biyun City and wanted them to hold an auction. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. The auction hasn¡¯t started yet. Please wait,¡±the attendant said apologetically. There weren¡¯t any treasures that could be auctioned in the auction house. If the auction was really held and there weren¡¯t any treasures, it would attract ridicule. ¡°How about this?¡± Lin Mo took out a scroll and placed it on the table. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. One treasure isn¡¯t enough for us to start the auction¡­¡± The waiter¡¯s voice came to an abrupt halt as he stared fixedly at the scroll. ¡°Spirit rank 1 cultivation technique, frost art. If you want to auction it tonight, I¡¯ll send it to you.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. If Qing Xi wanted to recover from her injuries quickly, she would at least need spirit rank panaceas. However, he did not have any with him. He did have a few ninth rank panaceas and could only change them through the auction. ¡°Other than that, I also have a few tier 9 spiritual pills and a special spell book. Are you going to bid or not?¡± A few more jade bottles appeared on the table. They were all healing type. Other than that, there was also a special spell book. It could be considered a martial art, but it did not seem like it. This was also something that Yan Rong had obtained from the inheritance runes. It was a top-grade tier 8 spell, but its effects were extremely heaven-defying. ¡°There¡¯s also this. It¡¯s a top-grade level 8 spell, ¡®breath holding technique¡¯. Once used, it can perfectly conceal one¡¯s aura. At this juncture, do you know what this spell means?¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. Information after information echoed in the attendant¡¯s mind. She also understood what this meant. ¡°Please Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go look for the manager¡­¡± The waiter asked Lin Mo to invite him into the living room and left in a hurry. Not long after, an old man rushed over in a panic. Apart from that, he also brought a group of experts with him. They wore bamboo hats on their heads, and their auras were rather dark. When these people saw the spirit herbs on Lin Mo¡¯s table, the greed in their eyes was not concealed at all. ¡°My Lords, this ¡®breath holding technique¡¯was sent by this guest. We don¡¯t know its effects.¡± The old man was the steward and respectfully said to these people. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s brows tightly knitted together. He did not expect the other party¡¯s hands to be so long that even the royal auction house had been infiltrated¡­ ¡°Kid, where did you get these treasures from?¡±These experts asked. Lin Mo could feel that their soul power had been checking him. If it was not for the fact that he was unable to see clearly, he would probably have taken action to snatch the treasures. ¡°There are many treasures appearing in ancient flame city. Don¡¯t you all know?¡±Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as he spoke indifferently. ¡°Ancient flame city, so it¡¯s that place¡­¡±these people were a little hesitant. The news of ancient flame city spread like wildfire throughout the entire Yanhuang Divine dynasty. The biggest winner was the SU family. Not only did they find a backer, the head of the Su family even used this opportunity to break through to the Nirvana stage. The entire SU family was like the Sun in the sky¡­ And this person in front of them was able to leave the competition in ancient flame city safely with his treasure. It seemed like he was not a kind person¡­ ¡°Is your ¡®breath holding technique¡¯really that magical?¡±One of them asked, not quite believing it. ¡°I can show you guys.¡± Lin Mo smiled and silently recited the chant. The spiritual energy in his body flowed like a tide, but in the end, it returned to calmness. When the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯was executed, these people were instantly shocked as they looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. This was because in their eyes, Lin Mo¡¯s aura had completely disappeared. If it was not for the fact that Lin Mo was right in front of them, they would even suspect that Lin Mo had disappeared¡­ ¡°So Strong¡­¡± These people had looks of pleasant surprise on their faces. Once the news of the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯spread, it was very likely that the wanted person would come over. At that time, if they managed to capture him, it would be a huge contribution to those who reported it¡­ ¡°Haha, Alright, Let¡¯s hold an auction and spread the news. This ¡®breath holding technique¡¯will be the finale item.¡± The few of them laughed loudly and left without stopping. They wanted to report the news. If they could successfully capture the other party, then wouldn¡¯t they be able to take credit for it. As for Lin Mo, he was automatically ignored by them. When they reported the news to the higher-ups, they wouldn¡¯t mention him at all. In the face of him taking credit¡­ After completing the procedures, Lin Mo left the auction hall. He did not choose to go to an inn. Instead, he changed his appearance and stayed in the inn next door. ¡°Everyone, is there anyone who wishes to leave the Blue Cloud City? The Blood Wolf mercenary group has completed the procedures to leave the city.¡± ¡°Escorting missions can also be used to transport goods. The insurance fee is low and can not be missed.¡± ¡°The Heavenly Tiger mercenary group has accepted hunting missions. Those who are interested can come to the Tiger Gate Inn to look for them.¡± ¡°The mercenary group is recruiting people. Who Wants to join? Let¡¯s go adventure in the boundless mountains together. The rewards will be rich.¡± The streets were as bustling as ever. The news that the royal auction house was holding an auction also spread. When they saw the items being auctioned, some people immediately understood what was going on. A storm was brewing! Amidst the discussions of the people, it was already evening, and the royal auction was held as scheduled. As she had received a message from Lin Mo, Qing Xi told her guards not to go to the auction house. These people weren¡¯t fools, and they knew that it was already a hongmen banquet. If they went in, they wouldn¡¯t be able to get out. On Lin Mo¡¯s way to the auction house, he also met quite a few people from the mercenary group. They were all soliciting business. ¡°Little brother, are you going out of the city? To hire our berserker mercenary group, we only need a rank 7 spirit herb.¡±A middle-aged man walked over and asked Lin Mo. . ¡°There¡¯s no need. I won¡¯t be leaving the city for the time being.¡±Lin Mo shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s really a pity. Why doesn¡¯t a young man like you have any drive? The skies of Biyun city are about to change. There are Nirvana Realm experts who want to fight. It¡¯s worth watching.¡± The mercenary said regretfully. ¡°Forget it. Uncle, you can find someone else.¡± Lin Mo still shook his head. Chapter 304 - Triggering the 10,000 fold rebate When he arrived at the auction house, a waiter immediately greeted him with a smile. After all, he was an expert who could take out a spirit-grade cultivation technique, so he could not be neglected. After being arranged to enter the private room on the second floor, Lin Mo received the best treatment, with two beautiful maids serving him. ¡°Welcome to this auction. We are in a hurry, so there are only five treasures in this auction.¡± The person in charge of the auction was the old man who had received Lin Mo previously, the manager of this place. However, his gaze was erratic as it flitted past a few private rooms on the second floor. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. The first item in the auction was a tier 9 spirit pill. ¡°Healing type low-grade tier 9 heavenly luck pill. The starting price is 30 million low-grade spirit stones.¡± Healing-type spirit pills were not easy to refine. However, the medicinal ingredients within were relatively easy to find, hence the price was low. However, this type of spirit pill was also very popular. The moment the price was announced, there were people who could not wait to raise the price. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 31 million.¡± ¡°32 million.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t fight with me, I¡¯ll bid 35 million low-grade spirit stones.¡± The bidding voices rose and fell, but Lin Mo didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. This amount of spirit stones was not very attractive to him anymore. In the end, the heavenly fate pill was bought by an old man at the price of 50 million low-grade spirit stones. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the low-grade ninth-grade heavenly fate pill ] [ You have successfully triggered the 5,000-fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the high-grade tier 9 Heavenly Heart Pill ] The Heavenly Heart Pill was still a healing medicine, and its effects were several times more effective than the heavenly fate pill. It was able to deal with the injuries in Qing Xi¡¯s body. ¡°This second item is also a healing type spirit pill. It¡¯s a tier 9 top grade blood dissolving stasis pill.¡± On the auction stage, a maid brought over a silver plate with a jade bottle on it. ¡°It¡¯s here¡­¡± Lin Mo looked up nervously. This was because this blood-dissolving stasis pill was already able to heal Qing Xi to a large extent. However, doing so would still leave behind hidden dangers, which was why Lin Mo was auctioning it. ¡°System, not to mention anything else, it¡¯s at least a thousand times¡­¡± Lin Mo silently prayed. Only a spirit rank healing spirit pill could perfectly heal Qing XI, and this blood-dissolving stasis pill was his greatest hope. Soon, bidding sounds filled the sky, and the price of this blood-dissolving stasis pill skyrocketed. In the end, it even broke through the limit of 100 million low-grade spirit stones. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this customer. You have bought the blood dissolving petechial pill at a price of 105 million.¡± The old man on the stage was extremely excited. This was the first time in his life that a top-grade ninth-grade spirit pill was being auctioned. In the past, the most auctioned items in Jade Cloud City were only tier 7, and there were very few tier 8 treasures. All of this was because of the royal family¡¯s ban. Recently, the ban had been lifted, and tier8 treasures only appeared occasionally. There was even one tier 9 treasure being auctioned off. Back then, when it was being auctioned off, the entire Biyun city was shocked. Now, the first item being auctioned off was a low-tier tier 9 treasure, and now there was even a top-tier tier-9 treasure. It was shocking. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a top-tier Tier-9 blood dissolving stasis pill ] [ You have successfully triggered 100 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, you have obtained a high-grade blood dissolving stasis pill ] ¡°¡­¡± The smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face disappeared. A 100 times auction return¡­ This was simply nonsense. The auction return that he had obtained was actually just a high-grade blood dissolving stasis pill. Then, what was he working so hard for¡­ ¡°Sigh, looks like I still need to buy some spirit herbs to assist me¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Once he got his hands on the third spirit pill, he would be able to heal Qing Xi¡¯s injuries. However, some hidden injuries would need to be removed with spirit herbs, which would take up more time. ¡°Let¡¯s get them to help me find some spirit herbs first.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He stood up and was about to leave the private room when the third spirit pill was successfully auctioned off. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this guest for winning the treasure.¡± As the old man¡¯s auction hammer descended, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Tier 9 middle-grade Panacea Fire Devil Pill ] [ Successfully triggered the 10,000 times auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the Tier 2 Spirit Rank Panacea Fire God Pill ] The unexpected turn of events was too sudden, and Lin Mo did not expect it. The high hopes placed on the blood dissolving stasis pill did not return any benefits to the spirit rank. On the contrary, it was the fire devil pill that had reached the mid-tier of the 9th tier and triggered a 10,000 fold return from the auction. Furthermore, the effects of the Fire God Pill were extremely good, and it was specially used to treat hidden internal injuries. With that, as long as Qing Xi consumed these three spirit pills, not only would her injuries be completely healed, she would also be able to obtain a stroke of good fortune. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s no need¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. Very quickly, the last two items were auctioned off, and both of them were auctioned off at sky-high prices. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 1 cultivation technique, Frost Art ] [ Successfully triggered the 3,000 fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the Spirit Grade 3 Frost Dragon Art ] [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the level 8 top-grade spell, Breath Holding Technique ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the low-tier tier 9 spell, ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯] Lin Mo ignored the spirit-grade tier 3 ¡®Ice Dragon Technique¡¯and did not bother about it. The runes within did not seem to have any good points either. On the contrary, the return from the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯ had left him extremely shocked. After triggering the 10,000 fold return, he should at least be able to reach the spirit rank tier 1 or even tier 2. However, he had never expected that under the 10,000 fold rebate, he would only be at low-tier 9. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo frowned as he sent his consciousness into the system space, carefully looking through the newly obtained ¡®Breath-holding Spirit Concentration Technique¡¯. It did not matter if he did not look at it. When he had just seen it, Lin Mo had been shocked. This was because the ¡®Breath-holding Spirit Concentration Technique¡¯ was too powerful, and the hidden runic technique within was too obscure and difficult to understand. No wonder its grade had only risen by a small level. The preciousness of this technique should be around the seventh or even eighth rank of the spirit grade. However, he could not understand why the grade had to be marked like this¡­ ¡°Forget it, after this matter is over, I¡¯ll go into closed door cultivation to comprehend it properly.¡± After finding the manager and receiving the Spirit Stones, Lin Mo did not care about the manager¡¯s ugly expression as he turned around and left. Clearly, these people had already caught the person who had bid for the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯. Unfortunately, these people were destined to be disappointed. The person who had bid for the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯was just an unrelated person, that person was also unlucky. He thought that he had bought a treasure at a very low price, but he did not know that danger would follow. After leaving the auction house, Lin Mo made sure that no one was following him. After passing through one street after another, he arrived at the inn where Qing Xi was located. There were already more than ten experts here. They were all dressed in black and wore bamboo hats. Even their auras were disguised and not exposed at all. The moment Lin Mo entered, these people looked at Lin Mo with incomparable nervousness. Their hands were already gripping onto the hilts of their swords. They were only waiting for an order to attack Lin Mo.. ¡°Don¡¯t be rude.¡± An old man walked out and stood in front of Lin Mo, bowing respectfully¡­ He opened his mouth and said, ¡°Young Hero Lin Mo, please make a move and save the Holy Maiden of Qing Xi. I will forever be in your debt.¡± Chapter 305 - : Interception Hearing this, Lin Mo was shocked. No wonder he did not sense Qing Xi¡¯s aura. Something had happened. ¡°What happened?¡±Lin Mo asked. He walked towards Qing Xi¡¯s room and pushed her away. In an instant, a shocking cold aura came over. This aura was extremely powerful, and even Lin Mo¡¯s physical body felt a sharp pain. ¡°When the Saintess escaped, she was poisoned by the Yin Frost Poison. Her life force was eroded, and now she can¡¯t suppress it anymore. It¡¯s about to erupt.¡± The old man said. Even with his Nirvana Realm strength, he was helpless. Before Qing xi fainted, she had said that Lin Mo had a way. That was why they were waiting here for Lin Mo¡¯s return. ¡°Yin Frost Poison? It¡¯s alright, it can be treated.¡± Lin Mo nodded and flipped his hand to take out three spirit pills. The moment the Fire God Pill appeared, it emitted a blazing flame. The surrounding cold air was neutralized and Lin Mo felt a little better. Without much hesitation, Lin Mo came to Qing Xi¡¯s bed and helped her sit down cross-legged while he sat at the back. He first fed the fire god Pill to Qing XI. It was like a ball of fire falling into an ice cave. The fire spread and melted all the hard ice. The temperature in the room rose by quite a bit, allowing the people outside to come in and take a look. Meanwhile, Qing Xi¡¯s complexion had also improved quite a bit, and it was slightly rosy. Seeing this situation, Lin Mo fed the blood dissolving stasis pill to her again. Next, he fed her the heavenheart pill. This spirit pill contained an extremely dense aura of life, which could replenish Qing Xi¡¯s consumption during this period of time. Meanwhile, the blood circulation and stasis pill helped clear some of the blocked meridians in her body, allowing her to circulate her spiritual energy on her own. Finally, she used the Fire God Pill to refine the cold yin poison in her body. Lin Mo also used the Flame Dao principle to inject it into Qing Xi¡¯s body, helping her to clear away the cold poison and guide her spiritual energy. Seeing this situation, the Nirvana Realm powerhouse immediately sealed the place, preventing the aura from spreading out. ¡°Lin Mo?¡± Qing Xi¡¯s consciousness slowly recovered. Feeling a pair of gentle hands on her back, she slowly opened her mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t talk, follow my spiritual energy. I¡¯ll teach you a spell that can help you escape.¡± Lin Mo opened his mouth and told Qing Xi to quickly cultivate. He did not know the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯either. He had not had the time to cultivate it yet, so he could not teach it. However, the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯was enough for Qing Xi to hide herself. Under Lin Mo¡¯s guidance, Qing Xi started to circulate it. While she was refining the medicinal effects of the three spirit pills, she was also practicing the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯. Time passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, three days had passed. Qing Xi¡¯s injuries had completely recovered. At this moment, she was refining the remaining medicinal effects of the Fire God Pill. After the cold yin poison was completely removed, Qing Xi felt extremely comfortable all over her body. Furthermore, during this period of time, she had learned the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯ from Lin Mo. she was extremely surprised by this technique that could perfectly conceal her aura. With this, she could leave quietly. ¡°Saintess, young hero Lin Mo, this old man has observed that those people are still locked down. If they want to leave, they can only rely on a few mercenary groups.¡± The people protecting Qing Xi came to report. They had been walking around the city and had obtained a lot of information. Moreover, they had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would not be able to hide when more powerful people came. On the morning of the fourth day. Lin Mo and Qing Xi disguised themselves as peddlers and wanted to leave the city. However, they did not act alone. Instead, they hired a mercenary group and had them escort them out of the city. This was a relatively small mercenary group, and the cost was 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones per person. However, this mercenary group was not weak either. The leader was at tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the other members were also at the 25th and 26th tiers. In the past, such strength would definitely be able to support a small clan. Now, experts from various places had come out of the mountains, and there were more and more experts walking in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. This kind of strength was not enough. The other people protecting Qing Xi also chose to be escorted by the mercenary group. However, they were all separated and used to confuse the others. ¡°Hopefully we can avoid it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He did not know what they would encounter when they left the city. If they were discovered, it would inevitably lead to a huge battle. ¡°What a bastard. My business failed three times and I lost nearly 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. Why did they seal the city!?¡± A merchant in the mercenary group complained. Of course, this mercenary group would not only protect Lin Mo and Qing Xi. Other than that, there were a dozen other merchants. These were all merchants who traveled around the major cities and had to leave them frequently. ¡°Don¡¯t say such things. It¡¯s already good enough to be able to leave the city alive.¡± His companion advised him to shut up. After a series of investigations, the mercenary group finally successfully left the city. Other than their group, there were also quite a number of people who came out. There were more than a dozen mercenary groups that were released. The people they were escorting were all inspected before they were finally released. ¡°They came out just like that?¡± Qing Xi furrowed her brows, feeling a little surprised. This was because it was too easy. Moreover, the people who were inspecting were not serious either. They just took a glance at the portrait and left. ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s too easy. It¡¯s very abnormal¡­¡± Lin Mo looked around, but he did not find anything abnormal. After the mercenary group left the city, they scattered in all directions. They followed the mercenary group and gradually left the area of Jade Cloud City. On the way, there were people discussing this matter, trying to guess what kind of existence the wanted person was. However, in the next moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky. It descended from the sky and fiercely struck the ground. Not far away from Lin Mo and the others, a mercenary group was directly blown into pieces. Everyone was badly mutilated and died immediately. Such an attack was too terrifying. It was the means of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. ¡°No, it¡¯s an ambush!¡± Qing Xi was shocked. At this moment, Lin Mo also understood that letting people out of the city was a trap to lure Qing Xi out of the city. Once the battle broke out, Qing XI would also fall into a dangerous situation. And if the Nirvana Realm powerhouse protecting her made a move, her position would be directly exposed. At that time, Qing XI would have no way to escape even if she had wings. ¡°Don¡¯t make a move. Follow me.¡± ¡°Sir, what are you doing? It¡¯s none of our business.¡± A mercenary group leader appeared, wanting to ask to be shown mercy. ¡°It¡¯s better to kill wrongly than let go wrongly.¡± An old man appeared in the sky with an ice-cold expression. He stared at everyone with a bronze mirror in his hand. Above him, there was supreme lightning. ¡°But we are not your targets. You are killing innocents indiscriminately.¡± Someone said, arguing with reason. ¡°Boom.¡± In the next moment, thunder rumbled. That old man pointed his finger and killed the man who had just spoken. He was too powerful. That was an expert at tie 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. One could imagine how terrifying a Nirvana Realm expert was for him to die just like that. ¡°This old man has decreed that all of you will die here.¡± His eyes were cold as he swept his gaze over everyone. Lin Mo was shocked in his heart. This was because after this old man made his move, another mysterious person appeared. He was also at the Nirvana stage. ¡°Sorry to trouble you¡­¡± Chapter 306 - : Slaughter When he arrived at the auction house, a waiter immediately greeted him with a smile. After all, he was an expert who could take out a spirit-grade cultivation technique, so he could not be neglected. After being arranged to enter the private room on the second floor, Lin Mo received the best treatment, with two beautiful maids serving him. ¡°Welcome to this auction. We are in a hurry, so there are only five treasures in this auction.¡± The person in charge of the auction was the old man who had received Lin Mo previously, the manager of this place. However, his gaze was erratic as it flitted past a few private rooms on the second floor. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. The first item in the auction was a tier 9 spirit pill. ¡°Healing type low-grade tier 9 heavenly luck pill. The starting price is 30 million low-grade spirit stones.¡± Healing-type spirit pills were not easy to refine. However, the medicinal ingredients within were relatively easy to find, hence the price was low. However, this type of spirit pill was also very popular. The moment the price was announced, there were people who couldn¡¯t wait to raise the price. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 31 million.¡± ¡°32 million.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t fight with me, I¡¯ll bid 35 million low-grade spirit stones.¡± The bidding voices rose and fell, but Lin Mo did not pay much attention to it. This amount of spirit stones wasn¡¯t very attractive to him anymore. In the end, the heavenly fate pill was bought by an old man at the price of 50 million low-grade spirit stones. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the low-grade ninth-grade heavenly fate pill ] [ you have successfully triggered the 5,000-fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the high-grade Ninth-grade Heavenly Heart Pill ] The Heavenly Heart Pill was still a healing medicine, and its effects were several times more effective than the heavenly fate pill. It was able to deal with the injuries in Qing Xi¡¯s body. ¡°This second item is also a healing type spirit pill. It¡¯s a grade 9 top grade blood dissolving stasis pill.¡± On the auction Realm, a maid brought over a silver plate with a jade bottle on it. ¡°It¡¯s here¡­¡± Lin Mo looked up nervously. This was because this blood dissolving stasis pill was already able to heal Qing Xi to a large extent. However, doing so would still leave behind hidden dangers, which was why Lin Mo was auctioning it. ¡°System, not to mention anything else, it¡¯s at least a thousand times¡­¡± Lin Mo silently prayed. Only a spirit rank healing spirit pill could perfectly heal Qing XI, and this blood dissolving stasis pill was his greatest hope. Soon, bidding sounds filled the sky, and the price of this blood dissolving stasis pill skyrocketed. In the end, it even broke through the limit of 100 million low grade spirit stones. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this customer. You have bought the blood dissolving petechial pill at a price of 105 million.¡± The old man on the Realm was extremely excited. This was the first time in his life that a top-grade ninth-grade spirit pill was being auctioned. In the past, the most auctioned items in Jade Cloud City were only top-grade seventh-grade, and there were very few eighth-grade treasures. All of this was because of the royal family¡¯s ban. Recently, the ban had been lifted, and Tier-8 treasures only appeared occasionally. There was even one tier-9 treasure being auctioned off. Back then, when it was being auctioned off, the entire Biyun city was shocked. And now, the first item being auctioned off was a low-tier Tier-9 treasure, and now there was even a top-tier Tier-9 treasure. It was shocking. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a top-tier Tier-9 blood dissolving stasis pill ] [ you have successfully triggered 100 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, you have obtained a high-grade blood dissolving stasis pill ] ¡°¡­¡± The smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face disappeared. A 100 times auction return¡­ This was simply nonsense. The auction return that he had obtained was actually just a high-grade blood dissolving stasis pill. Then, what was he working so hard for¡­ ¡°Sigh, looks like I still need to buy some spirit herbs to assist me¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Once he got his hands on the third spirit pill, he would be able to heal Qing Xi¡¯s injuries. However, some hidden injuries would need to be removed with spirit herbs, which would take up more time. ¡°Let¡¯s get them to help me find some spirit herbs first.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He stood up and was about to leave the private room when the third spirit pill was successfully auctioned off. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this guest for winning the treasure.¡±As the old man¡¯s auction hammer descended, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. [ congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Tier 9 middle-grade Panacea Fire Devil Pill ] [ successfully triggered the 10,000 times auction rebate ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining the Tier 2 Spirit Rank Panacea Fire God Pill ] The unexpected turn of events was too sudden, and Lin Mo did not expect it. The high hopes placed on the blood dissolving stasis pill did not return any benefits to the spirit rank. On the contrary, it was the fire devil pill that had reached the mid-tier of the 9th rank that had triggered a 10,000 fold return from the auction. Furthermore, the effects of the Fire God Pill were extremely good, and it was specially used to treat hidden internal injuries. With that, as long as Qing Xi consumed these three spirit pills, not only would her injuries be completely healed, she would also be able to obtain a stroke of good fortune. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s no need¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. Very quickly, the last two items were auctioned off, and both of them were auctioned off at sky-high prices. [ congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 1 cultivation technique, Frost Art ] [ successfully triggered the 3,000 fold auction rebate ] [ congratulations host for obtaining the Spirit Rank 3 Frost Dragon Art ] [ congratulations host for successfully auctioning the level 8 top-grade spell, breath holding technique ] [ you have successfully triggered the 10,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the low-tier tier 9 spell, ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯] Lin Mo directly ignored the spirit rank 3¡¯Ice Dragon Technique¡¯and did not bother about it. The runes within did not seem to have any good points either. On the contrary, the return from the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯had left him extremely shocked. After triggering the 10,000 fold return, he should at least be able to reach the spirit rank 1 or even 2 rank. However, he had never expected that under the 10,000 fold rebate, he would only be at low-rank 9, only increasing by a small level? ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo frowned as he sent his consciousness into the system space, carefully looking through the newly obtained ¡®breath-holding spirit concentration technique¡¯. It did not matter if he did not look at it. When he had just seen it, Lin Mo had been shocked. This was because the ¡®breath-holding spirit concentration technique¡¯was too powerful, and the hidden runic technique within was too obscure and difficult to understand. No wonder its grade had only risen by a small level. The preciousness of this technique should be around the seventh or even eighth rank of the spirit rank. However, he couldn¡¯t understand why the grade had to be marked like this¡­ ¡°Forget it, after this matter is over, I¡¯ll go into closed door cultivation to comprehend it properly.¡± After finding the manager and receiving the Spirit Stones, Lin Mo did not care about the manager¡¯s ugly expression as he turned around and left. Clearly, these people had already caught the person who had bid for the ¡®breath holding technique¡¯. Unfortunately, these people were destined to be disappointed. Because the person who had bid for the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯was just an unrelated person, that person was also unlucky. He thought that he had bought a treasure at the bottom price, but he did not know that danger would follow. After leaving the auction house, Lin Mo made sure that no one was following him. After passing through one street after another, he arrived at the inn where Qing Xi was located. There were already more than ten experts here. They were all dressed in black and wore bamboo hats. Even their auras were disguised and not exposed at all. The moment Lin Mo entered, these people looked at Lin Mo with incomparable nervousness. Their hands were already gripping onto the hilts of their swords. They were only waiting for an order to attack Lin Mo.. ¡°Don¡¯t be rude.¡± An old man walked out and stood in front of Lin Mo, bowing respectfully¡­ He opened his mouth and said, ¡°Young Hero Lin Mo, please make a move and save the Holy Maiden of Qing Xi. I will never forget this favor.¡± ¡°Check carefully. You must find the saintess. Kill the others.¡± The expert said and ordered the many experts behind him to act. In the next moment, all of them sprung into action. First, they confirmed their identities and broke all disguises. If they were not Qing Xi, they would be killed immediately. The world shook. The Nirvana Realm expert acted and destroyed another mercenary group. ¡°Bastard.¡± The leader of a mercenary group was killed. The rest of the people were furious. ¡°Fight them to the death.¡± Some people shouted and rushed forward, wanting to fight these people to the death. ¡°Go, make a path of blood!¡± All kinds of martial arts were released. These people resisted with all their might, wanting to escape. Unfortunately, their strength was too weak. This kind of resistance won them weak. Nirvana Realm powerhouses were like gods. They were hard to resist. Even those at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm were like grass.w When Nirvana Realm powerhouses attacked, the lives of the people disappeared. No one was a match for them. Such a scene filled people with fear. ¡°Run¡­¡± Some people could not stand such an atmosphere and did not want to be massacred. They fled in all directions. They flew into the sky and burrowed into the ground deep. It was a pity that there were many people on the other side as well. Each of them was very powerful, so they started a massacre. Lin Mo and Qing Xi were also attacked, and some people died tragically. However, under the resistance of the crowd, Lin Mo made a move in secret and forced these people back. However, it also attracted the attention of the Nirvana realm experts in the sky. At this moment, a shocking aura burst out from the distant mountain range. Countless mountain peaks exploded against that astonishing might. ¡°Nirvana Realm experts?¡± Everyone was greatly shocked. They did not expect it to be so chaotic outside. Even Nirvana realm experts were fighting. ¡°Are these people just bait?¡± The two Nirvana realm experts in the sky whispered and ordered their subordinates to kill all these people and leave no witnesses. The two of them also chased after the mountain peaks and went over to help. The massacre continued. Although there were no Nirvana Realm experts, there were still quite a number of tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm experts. These people were all very strong. Moreover, they were experienced in the battlefield and were decisive in killing. Their attacks were incomparably ruthless. ¡°Run quickly. Now is the best opportunity.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. When the Nirvana Realm powerhouses return, we will all die¡­¡± There were less than 500 people who survived. At this moment, they were frantically fleeing in all directions. They did not want to die here. Whether it was the mercenaries who had promised to protect them or the employers, they were only concerned about their own escape at this moment. They did not care about that and fled separately. Although they could fight against these people by staying together for warmth, it was obvious that this might attract the pursuit of Nirvana Realm powerhouses. It was still better for them to have a higher chance of survival if they escaped separately. ¡°Was it your people who made a move?¡± Lin Mo asked. The Nirvana Realm powerhouse who suddenly appeared could only be Qing Xi¡¯s people. After all, he was in Biyun City, so Jiang Xiyue should not know about it. However, he had to quickly pass the news to Jiang Xiyue. The Qinghuai Holy Land had long fallen into the control of the crown prince. If they worked together, it would be disadvantageous to her. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± Lin Mo and the others were stopped. There was a powerhouse at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm who came with more than a dozen people. He killed many people along the way. ¡°Humph, it¡¯s just you guys.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly and turned around to fight with this powerhouse. A shocking fluctuation burst out. ¡°Such shocking battle strength, who are you?¡± That person was shocked, because Lin Mo was only at tier 24 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, the strength that burst out at this moment made him shocked. ¡°Go to hell and ask.¡± Lin Mo attacked. His entire body was bathed in flames. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings were born, and his feet were stepping on purple divine light. A Vermillion Bird surrounded him and swam around him. ¡°What kind of move is this?¡± That person was shocked. Not only him, the people who were chasing after him were also shocked. This was because the pressure that Lin Mo was giving off at this moment was too strong. It even gave them the illusion that Lin Mo was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse who was about to slaughter them. Apart from that, Qing Xi also made her move. A strange dragon¡¯s roar sounded out, and her battle prowess was equally shocking. The battle had started, and Lin Mo faced a tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm expert for the second time. He did not feel much pressure. Although he was still suppressed, he had yet to use his Origin Spirit Puppet. ¡°Hold on for a while. I¡¯ll help you after I¡¯ve dealt with these people.¡± As Qing Xi spoke, she did not care about exposing her identity. Instead, she used her martial arts. Moreover, the half-human and half-demon bloodline in her body erupted, and a powerful force spread out. ¡°The Holy Maiden of Qing Xi?¡± These people were shocked. They originally thought that they were only chasing after some fleeing merchants, but they did not expect to meet Saintess Qing Xi here. ¡°Die.¡± Qing Xi made her move. Her moves were quick, and her combat strength was not weak. These people were not her match at all. As for Lin Mo¡¯s side, because of the addition of the origin soul puppet, the battle appeared to be one-sided. At the last moment, Lin Mo stepped out with his Qilin Steps and ruthlessly stepped on the opponent¡¯s head. The purple divine light burst forth, crushing the opponent¡¯s head. After the battle ended, Qing Xi looked at Lin Mo with an inexplicable expression. The two of them fled. Lin Mo used the Kun Peng Wings to rush forward and quickly escaped the encirclement with Qing Xi. Walking in the mountains, they encountered another ambush on their long journey. It was not only the people of the Qing Huai Holy Land, but also the imperial family and the assassins of the secret ghost sect. A few days later, the two of them arrived at Heavenly Cloud City. This was a great city and there was no way to seal it. However, there were people guarding the exits in all places. ¡°Are we going to enter the city?¡± Qing XI asked. Lin Mo nodded. With the food, he could increase his strength without worrying about the lack of resources. If he wanted to hold an auction, he needed to find a city. Moreover, there were people chasing after them everywhere outside, so it might be more dangerous to rush to other places. ¡°Then let¡¯s go. It¡¯s a good opportunity to replenish the healing and Recovery Panaceas,¡± Qing Xi said. The pursuit this time was too terrifying. Moreover, there were more and more enemies. On the contrary, the people protecting her were all dead¡­ Including that Nirvana Realm powerhouse. In order to let her avoid danger, he had to perish together with a Nirvana Realm enemy¡­ Lin Mo walked into the city, settled Qing Xi down, and walked through the streets alone. He bought all the elixirs, elixirs, and elixirs that were grade 9 and above. Finally, he sent them to various auction houses to be auctioned. As for the auction in the Imperial City, he didn¡¯t want to go. He found some small-scale auctions to auction off these treasures. After obtaining a large amount of resources, Lin Mo and Qing XI set off once again. Because they had received news that more than ten Nirvana Realm powerhouses had arrived and wanted to set up an ambush here. They guessed that Qing Xi had been rescued by someone and that person might pass through Heavenly Cloud City with Qing Xi. ¡°Have you prepared enough spirit pills and spirit medicines?¡± Qing XI asked. It had only been three days, and spirit grade treasures were not common. However, what they needed the most right now was this¡­ ¡°Can you send me out of the Yanhuang Dynasty?¡± Qing XI asked again. After leaving the city, their goals were different. Lin Mo wanted to go to the imperial city, while Qing Xi wanted to leave the Yanhuang dynasty. In her opinion, only by following the mysterious Bai Luo could she have a chance to survive. Also, she didn¡¯t know how to cultivate with her half-human half-demon bloodline. st Chapter 307 - The Down and Out Saintess Only Bai Luo would be able to guide her and give her a chance to take revenge in the future. ¡°Did you protect me from the start because you wanted this jade pendant?¡± Qing Xi said. At this moment, there were some cracks on the jade pendant. During the time she was being chased, she had also experienced many battles. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? Bai Luo is my good friend.¡± Lin Mo said. In fact, he did not know why he would protect Qing XI. He only needed to leave her behind and he would be safe. However, he could not do that because he was worried about Jiang Xiyue. The crown prince had the emperor¡¯s trust and controlled most of the forces of the Yanhuang dynasty. If he allowed his talent to crush Jiang Xiyue, he would have to escape with Jiang Xiyue next time¡­ Thinking of that night, Jiang Xiyue came alone and shared the same fate as him. The two of them had an intimate night. From that moment on, he felt that he had a responsibility to protect this beauty. If she wanted the throne, he would conquer the world and personally give the throne to her¡­ Perhaps even Lin Mo himself did not know that Jiang Xiyue had sent people to protect him during this period of time. Her meticulous care had also made him secretly develop feelings for her¡­ ¡°I naturally have my own plans for helping you,¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°To prevent the crown prince from becoming stronger?¡± Qing Xi smiled as she looked at Lin Mo beside her. She did not know why, but this young man gave her a feeling that she could not see through. Following him, Qing Xi felt a sense of relief for no reason. ¡°You can think of it that way.¡± Lin Mo nodded and told Qing Xi that he was the eighth Prince¡¯s Man and that the Qinghuai Holy Land was controlled by the crown prince. He had to think of a way to report this news, so he could not escort her. ¡°Are you that loyal?¡± Qing Xi looked curiously at Lin Mo. ¡°What I mean is, why are you so loyal to the eighth prince? Do you know hisbackground?¡± Qing Xi looked up at the sky. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Although her face was covered by a veil, she was still so beautiful and moving. Lin Mo looked up at Qing Xi. There was something hidden in her words, but she did not want to say anything more. ¡°You should think about how to escape.¡± He raised his head and looked at Qing Xi. Escorting her away was not possible. He had to head to the Imperial City and inform her of the news. ¡°The eighth prince¡¯s name is Jiang Xiyue. Although she was a prince, she was also the number one beauty in the imperial city. He¡¯s said to be able to topple countries and cities,¡± Qing Xi suddenly said. She looked at Lin Mo. she had seen the tenderness in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes earlier. Thinking of this, she felt a little envious of Jiang Xiyue. She was born in an environment that was even crueler than hers, yet there was someone who was infatuated with her¡­ ¡°A beauty matched with a hero. It¡¯s a good marriage¡­¡± Qing Xi shook her head again as if she was unwilling to accept this. What would happen to her? ¡°Don¡¯t sigh. We still have a long way to go. We can¡¯t stay here for long,¡± Lin Mo said. They couldn¡¯t stay in Tianyun City for long. In fact, they couldn¡¯t stay in any city for long. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Qing Xi nodded. The two of them continued on their journey. During this time, they met quite a number of mercenary groups and some freelance martial artists. There were many demonic beasts in this boundless mountain range. There were even some extremely powerful fierce beasts with terrifying combat strength. Countless heroes were born in the deep mountains. Only through blood and experience could they become experts. And it was precisely because there were so many fortuitous encounters in the mountain range that attracted countless people to come here. However, it also caused countless people to lose their lives. Walking in the mountain range, Lin Mo specially chose some difficult paths. There were even some ancient battlefields that contained countless remnant souls that had died in battle. Their obsession did not dissipate. They had just entered when they triggered it, causing countless vengeful souls to howl. The people who were chasing after them had just entered when they were all killed by the vengeful souls. There was even a Nirvana Realm expert who died. However, this also caused Qing Xi to be heavily injured. She only recovered after consuming a spirit-grade spirit pill. This made Lin Mo sigh. He could only cross the danger zone and carry Qing Xi. With her current condition, she could no longer escape by herself. ¡°I¡¯ve never been to this mountain range before, you know?¡± Lin Mo said. The Kun Peng Wings flapped once again and brought them to escape. ¡°I know a little. The flames on your body have a restraining effect on the souls. As long as our luck isn¡¯t too bad, we can leave this place¡­¡± Qing Xi said as her bright eyes dimmed. There were too many people chasing after her. The Crown Prince had mobilized the royal family¡¯s army. The wanted posters for her and Lin Mo had also appeared in various cities. However, Lin Mo¡¯s identity had yet to be revealed. After all, everyone along the way had been killed by Lin Mo. They only knew that there was a powerful expert protecting Qing Xi and bringing her along to escape. Fortunately, Lin Mo¡¯s luck held. He walked out of a dangerous place and did not encounter any danger. This was the best of all. However, the moment he came out, he was followed by someone and had a bumpy journey. ¡°They¡¯re here, quickly chase after them.¡± Lin Mo hugged Qing Xi and used the Kun Peng Wings to escape, quickly avoiding the other party¡¯s attack. However, he heard a roar from behind. It was a ferocious-looking demonic beast that was over ten meters tall. Its body had pitch-black patterns on it and its fur was thick. It swung its fist towards Lin Mo. The people behind caught up and used talismans to attack. They were very familiar with these methods. They were from the Secret Ghost Sect. The pincer attack was too fast. Lin Mo had no choice but to counterattack. He put down Qing Xi and used the ¡°Cloud Piercing ¡°. A Vermilion Bird flew across the sky, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame spread out to meet the attacks from the front and back. ¡°Boom.¡± A terrifying fluctuation spread out, and flames soared into the sky. Two miserable cries rang out, and the demonic beast was sent flying. Its body was covered in flames and could not be extinguished. One of its arms had been blasted apart, and it was heavily injured by Lin Mo¡¯s attack. The assassin of the Secret Ghost Sect was also grabbed by Lin Mo¡¯s wrist, and ruthlessly smashed towards the ground. ¡°This is¡­ The Archaic Vermillion Bird?¡± The assassin was shocked, and his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Lin Mo.. The Archaic Divine Beast Vermillion Bird, this sort of terrifying existence¡¯s move, its grade was hard to imagine. He did not think that he would actually encounter it. The Vermilion Bird¡¯s divine flames burned the sky and Earth, burning the demonic beast into ashes. This killer was also killed by Lin Mo, and the Ancient Sword of Desolation exploded with sword qi that shot up into the sky. Qing Xi revealed a strange expression. She did not expect Lin Mo to actually control the legendary archaic divine beast, the Vermilion Bird¡¯s technique. It seemed to be an incomplete technique, but its power could not be underestimated. That demonic beast was at tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, yet it could noteven take a single attack and was directly killed. ¡°Be careful.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Sensing danger, he rushed towards Qing Xi. Behind Qing Xi, an old man appeared. He held a short weapon in his hand, leaving behind an afterimage as he appeared in front of Qing Xi. His speed was too fast. His figure was ghostly, causing Qing Xi to not be able to react. When she saw clearly, a dagger had already pierced towards her heart. Lin Mo brazenly attacked. The speed of the Kun Peng¡¯s wings was shocking. He arrived in front of Qing XI and kicked out, colliding with the dagger. The old man let out a muffled groan as he was forced back by Lin Mo. the dagger was also shattered, but Lin Mo remained unscathed. This caused the old man to be incomparably shocked. ¡°What a terrifying physical body.¡± The old man muttered to himself. Lin Mo¡¯s strength had exceeded his expectations. He had never thought that he would be able to break the magic weapon just by relying on his physical body. Chapter 308 - Inner Dragon Qi ¡°I have a question. Why are you guys always able to find our tracks?¡± Lin Mo asked. It had been too close. Luckily, he was fast enough. Otherwise, Qing Xi would have died. However, this also surprised him. No matter how deep he went into the danger zone, he would always change his direction in the endless mountain range. In the end, their tracks would still be found. This was also what he did not understand. ¡°Dead people have no need to know these things.¡± The old man sneered and charged towards Lin Mo again. His sneak attack had failed, so he planned to kill this young man first before killing Qing Xi. ¡°The members of the Secret Ghost sect cultivate a secret technique. Every time someone fights, they can leave behind a special aura on the other party,¡± Qing Xi reminded. ¡°How do we avoid that?¡± Lin Mo asked. It was impossible for them to continue like this. Sooner or later, they would be stopped by someone¡­ ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do. The ¡®Breath Holding Art¡¯ is useless as well. It seems to be caused by their unique art,¡± Qing XI said. This was also the reason why the Hidden Ghost Sect was able to become an assassin. As long as they locked onto their target, they would be able to chase after the other party until they killed him. ¡°A treasure to cleanse the aura¡­ I don¡¯t have it on me¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. was there really nothing he could do? Once again, Lin Mo suppressed the other party, and in the end, he even killed the other party. After killing the other party, Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the ground. His soul energy revolved around his body, searching for that aura. ¡°I found it¡­¡± After searching for more than ten minutes, Lin Mo opened his eyes. Finally, he noticed something strange on a small meridian in his body. However, when he wanted to expel it, that aura was like a maggot that was hard to get rid of. ¡°This is a powerful technique of the secret ghost sect. It¡¯s hard to get rid of unless one breaks through.¡± Qing Xi stopped Lin Mo and urged him to leave quickly. This was because breaking through could allow one¡¯s body to undergo Nirvana once. It was a rare opportunity for one¡¯s body to transform. This way, one would be able to smoothly erase that aura. However, it was not the time for Lin Mo to break through yet. Forcefully breaking through would damage his foundation. ¡°If I don¡¯t break through, I can only wait for four to five days. After that, I¡¯ll let it dissipate naturally. The prerequisite is that I can¡¯t engage the members of the Secret Ghost Sect during this period of time¡­¡± Qing Xi continued to explain. Lin Mo picked her up and flapped his Kun Peng Wings, flying towards the depths of the mountain range. ¡°Someone is catching up again¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had just left this place when he felt the aura of an expert coming from behind him, and he followed them all the way. These people were very powerful. Most of them were at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. They were the imperial family¡¯s army, and they were mobilized by the crown prince. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he cultivated the Kun Peng Wings, he might have been caught up. Even so, the distance between them continued to decrease. It was only a matter of time before they were caught up. ¡°Chase them quickly. They can¡¯t escape.¡± Among the people chasing them, all of them wore black robes and bamboo hats. They held long knives in their hands. They were led by an old man as they chased after them. These people were from the Royal Punishment Hall. They were all torturers who were chasing after the members of the Secret Ghost sect. The emperor was in seclusion, and the crown prince was in charge of the country. They had received orders that the Saintess of the Qing Huai Holy Land had colluded with evil cultivators to capture them and bring them to justice. Meanwhile, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s tracking methods were unparalleled in the world. Few forces in the eastern continent could compare to them, so they were also invited to help. ¡°Boom.¡± Lin Mo was fighting with someone again, and he was injured again. This time, it was even more serious. He was injured by three powerhouses at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, in the end, he still escaped with Qing Xi. With the help of the demonic beasts in the mountains, he escaped from the pursuit and was temporarily safe. Three days later, in a mountain stream. ¡°Alright, your injuries have recovered. Take these spiritual medicines and separate from here.¡± Lin Mo said. Ever since Qing Xi was injured, she had not fought with anyone. Hence, she did not have the aura of the Secret Ghost Sect on her and could leave on her own. Since he did not have any worries, he could leave smoothly and head to the imperial city to inform Jiang Xiyue of the news. ¡°Wait a minute¡­¡± Qing Xi stopped Lin Mo and seemed to have made up her mind. She said, ¡°Do you know why the crown prince is so determined to kill me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to devour your bloodline to Increase your talent?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Qing Xi had told him before. ¡°It¡¯s not just that¡­¡± Qing XI said. The real situation was far beyond Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. ¡°The half of the demonic beast bloodline in my body comes from the legendary true dragon.¡± She told Lin Mo that if he refined the dragon blood in her body, he would be able to improve his physique and contain dragon qi, the destiny of heaven and earth¡­ ¡°The bloodline of a true dragon?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was the fourth archaic divine beast he had come into contact with. He only knew from Bai Luo¡¯s words that there were many top-tier experts in the human race countless years ago. There were also many top-tier existences in the demonic beast world. With all kinds of divine beasts, it was an extremely glorious era. Such an era was only recorded in some ancient books and very little knew about it. Even Bai Luo¡¯s family knew very little. ¡°With the true dragon qi inside, one can further comprehend true dragon techniques. Once one succeeds, one can only be considered to have just started to ascend to the immortal stage¡­¡± Qing Xi did not hide anything and told him everything she knew. She said that Bai Luo said it and she would not lie to her. Lin Mo believed her words but he was even more curious about Bai Luo¡¯s mysteriousness. She did not even keep the true dragon bloodline by her side. Was this girl confident that her talent was extraordinary or was she arrogant¡­ ¡°What do you hope for by telling me this?¡± Lin Mo asked. Qing Xi trusted him so much, was she not afraid that he would forcefully take the bloodline of a true dragon? ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, I naturally trust you. After spending so much time together, I believe in your character,¡± Qing Xi said. Furthermore, Lin Mo could also guess how precious his bloodline was. If he wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? ¡°But even if you say so, I still have to leave. I have to go to the imperial city¡­¡± Lin Mo said. According to the progress, he should have already arrived at Imperial City. Yan Rong and Lin Die should have already arrived at Imperial City by now. Jiang Xiyue might have already sent people to look for him¡­ ¡°I can give you some of the true dragon bloodline. Please help me leave.¡± Qing Xi said. As long as she was willing, giving out some of the dragon blood would not be a problem. She could become a peerless genius. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He did not expect Qing Xi to say this. Giving out dragon blood would cause great damage to Qing Xi. Even if she could recover, it would require a lot of resources. ¡°If I join Bai Luo¡¯s faction, she¡¯ll help me recover¡­¡± Qing Xi lowered her head and lightly pursed her red lips. At this moment, she felt a little helpless. If Lin Mo really did not care about her, the only thing that awaited her would be death. ¡°Inner Dragon Qi¡­¡± Lin Mo fell into deep thought. He had a God Devouring Body, so Dragon Qi was not of much use to him. It would only be effective for a short period of time. Later on, the dragon energy would be devoured by the devourer body, and it would have no effect at all. ¡°I can give it to Xiyue¡­¡± Thinking of this, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. Although Jiang Xiyue¡¯s talent was very strong, she was not as good as the crown prince. If she could get the dragon energy, then the crown prince would not be Jiang Xiyue¡¯s match. This way, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s chances of winning would also be greatly increased¡­ Chapter 309 - Cloud Pattern City High Risk, high reward¡­ Lin Mo hesitated. He looked at Qing Xi and finally nodded. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s a deal. I¡¯ll send you away.¡± Lin Mo agreed and left with Qing Xi, although the journey would be fraught with danger. However, it was not impossible for him to send Jiang Xiyue the dragon blood. ¡°It¡¯s very troublesome. There are people guarding the city ahead, and it¡¯s heavily guarded¡­¡± Three days later, Lin Mo and Qing Xi appeared in front of a city. They were hiding in a towering tree. There were many top-tier powerhouses at the entrance of the city. All of them were at tier 31 of the Transformation Dragon Realm. They were all stuck at the Nirvana Realm, and it was difficult for them to enter. ¡°We can¡¯t go to this city¡­¡± Lin Mo made a prompt decision and left with Qing Xi, turning back. ¡°What should we do?¡±Qing Xi asked anxiously. If they did not go to some cities to supply spirit pills and spirit herbs, they would be hunted down endlessly and could only die¡­ ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯ll go another way. Next stop, we¡¯ll go to Cloud Pattern City.¡± Lin Mo made a decision. He would go to Cloud Pattern City to participate in the auction. At the same time, he would think of a way to contact Jiang Xiyue and ask her for help¡­ There was no other way. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to bring Qing Xi away. ¡°Detour? That¡¯s fine too.¡± Qing Xi nodded. As long as Lin Mo did not leave her behind, she would be fine with anything else. This time, Lin Mo did not make too many moves. When he fought with others, he would use the puppet. Even if he made a move, he would be able to kill them in one hit. Seven days later, after ensuring that there was no aura left on his body, Lin Mo let Qing Xi enter Cloud Pattern City first. He followed far behind and displayed an anxious expression. He asked the city guards to open the door and let him in. ¡°Who are you? Come.¡± As expected, Lin Mo had just arrived and attracted the attention of these people. A group of people immediately surrounded him. The scene was slightly chaotic. Qing Xi was also ordered to take off her bamboo hat. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately made his move. The rising sky sword Qi swept out, and the city guards were all thrown to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me. I¡¯m in a bad mood.¡± Lin Mo said with a cold snort. After what he had done, Qing XI had also successfully entered the city without a sound. ¡°The punishment hall is doing something. Do you dare to resist?¡± A middle-aged man shouted loudly as he led his men to surround Lin Mo. ¡°Punishment hall, I was just about to say something. What exactly are you doing? I was cultivating in the mountains, but I was disturbed more than ten times.¡± Lin Mo pretended to be angry and took off his bamboo hat, revealing his original appearance. ¡°Eh, this person looks a little familiar.¡± Someone in the city heard the commotion and walked out to check. After seeing Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, he pondered for a moment before reacting. ¡°He¡¯s Lin Mo, currently ranked seventh on the Board of Fame. He¡¯s a true martial artist genius.¡± The surrounding people turned pale with fright. They had not heard any news about Lin Mo for nearly two months. They heard that he had gone to the imperial city, but they did not expect him to be cultivating in the mountains¡­ ¡°You¡¯re Lin Mo?¡± The middle-aged man from the hall of punishment was stunned. He looked at Lin Mo with a hint of fear in his eyes. It was rumored that Lin Mo had a puppet with its combat strength at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was able to suppress everyone present. Moreover, he was also a ruthless person. Those who offended him basically did not have a good outcome. ¡°It¡¯s me. Who are you guys chasing after? It¡¯s disturbing my cultivation,¡± Lin Mo said unhappily. There was nothing wrong with his words. The commotion they had caused recently was indeed very disturbing. ¡°Young hero Lin Mo, Please don¡¯t blame us. The Holy Maiden of the Qing Huai Holy Land colluded with evil cultivators and escaped after being discovered. Now, she has been saved by a mysterious expert. She is currently on the wanted list.¡± The middle-aged man said, telling Lin Mo to mind his own business and quickly go to the imperial city¡­ ¡°What does it have to do with you whether I go to the imperial city or not?¡± Lin Mo curled his lips and swaggered into Cloud Pattern City. ¡°Hmph, what¡¯s there to be arrogant about? Without the eighth prince, you would have long been dealt with by someone¡­¡± The middle-aged man snorted coldly, extremely displeased with Lin Mo¡¯s tone. Lin Mo did not care about these words. After arriving at Cloud Pattern City, he found an inn and avoided everyone¡¯s gaze, allowing Qing Xi to stay inside. As for himself, he also strolled around Cloud Pattern City, walking around the streets and alleys in search of spirit herbs. ¡°Medicine shop?¡± Through asking around, Lin Mo obtained the name of a faction. The biggest faction in Cloud Pattern City was this medicine shop. It was specially created for business purposes and controlled more than 70% of Cloud Pattern City¡¯s economic lifeline. ¡°Hehe, please come in.¡± As soon as Lin Mo entered, a maid recognized him and hurriedly went forward to welcome him. ¡°I want to auction off some magic weapons and martial arts,¡± said Lin Mo. during this period of time, he had been hunted down, and he had gained a lot of treasures, but he was in short supply of spirit herbs. He needed to exchange all of these magic tools and martial arts for spirit herbs and spirit pills. ¡°Mr. Lin, the auction is in five days. Are you going to auction off all of your treasures?¡± The maid asked. Most of the treasures that Lin Mo had taken out were seventh to ninth treasures. They were no longer considered precious in this period of time. The truly rare ones were spirit-rank treasures. That was the only thing that could attract people. ¡°You can¡¯t auction them?¡± Lin Mo asked. If that was the case, then his harvest would be much smaller¡­ ¡°How about this, we¡¯ll place these tier seven and tier eight treasures in the main hall and let those interested bid for them. This is also an auction, but the majority of them will be sold at the starting price¡­¡± The Maid said as she pointed at the main hall. There were many treasures here, but very few people would take a fancy to the same treasures at the same time. Hence, it was an auction in name, but it was no different from selling it. ¡°System, if I sell it like this, will it trigger a rebate from the auction?¡± Lin Mo asked in his heart. [Yes, as long as it¡¯s sold as an auction, a single person¡¯s bid counts as an auction.] After receiving the system¡¯s reply, Lin Mo smiled and nodded, agreeing with the servant girl¡¯s words. ¡°Alright, as for these tier nine treasures, they will be auctioned in five days.¡± The maid handed over a token, asking Lin Mo to come to the auction five days later. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s naturally not a problem.¡± Lin Mo smiled before looking for the maid to buy a large number of spirit herbs and spirit pills. Just as he walked out of the medicine shop, Lin Mo heard the system notification sound. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a top-grade tier seven weapon, Shadow Dagger. ] [ Triggered 500 times auction return. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a low-grade tier eight ghost dagger. ] A dagger had already been sold, which surprised him a little. He turned around and saw someone he did not want to see. Moreover, that person was holding a black dagger in his hand. This person was the hall of punishment¡¯s torturer who had quarreled with him at the city gate. He held the Shadow Dagger and looked at Lin Mo coldly. ¡°We received news that the Holy Maiden of the Qinghuai Holy Land was saved by a mysterious expert who killed many of our people. ¡°And this shadow dagger is the weapon of a disciple of the secret ghost sect. It has a unique aura on it.¡± A few torturers walked over and surrounded Lin Mo, their eyes unfriendly. ¡°You mean, I saved the Holy Maiden of the Qing Huai Holy Land?¡± Lin Mo said as he looked at the people surrounding him. Chapter 310 - : Heavenly Fire Chalcedony The middle-aged man¡¯s expression froze. He did not admit it, but neither did he deny it. ¡°Then how do you explain that the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s weapon is in your hands?¡± He raised his dagger and asked Lin Mo. ¡°During the process of cultivation, I was found by the Secret Ghost sect. When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Naturally, I have to kill them.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. These things could be easily investigated. As for saying that he saved Qing Xi, this bit of evidence was not enough. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t keep staring at me. I see that the Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s people are quite like evil cultivators. You should go and investigate properly.¡± After giving a perfunctory reply, Lin Mo turned around and left, leaving behind the angry faces of the crowd. After that, Lin Mo lived in seclusion and temporarily stayed in the inn. The torturer came once again, but was rejected by Lin Mo on the grounds that he was in seclusion. Meanwhile, in the inn, Qing Xi was still cultivating and accumulating energy in her body. She had promised to give Lin Mo the Dragon Blood, so she was now preparing. Once she had accumulated enough, she would be able to condense her own blood essence and take out the dragon¡¯s blood. On the fifth day, Lin Mo woke Qing Xi up and told her to head to the auction house. He himself was also here to participate in the auction. The medicine house¡¯s auction was very big, a little bigger than Ancient Flame City. However, he did not know what kind of treasure would appear. The crowd surged. Due to Lin Mo¡¯s identity, he was naturally arranged to enter the private room. On the other hand, Qing Xi was unable to go with him. Otherwise, she would be exposed, and could only participate in the auction in the main hall. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the auction stage. Lin Mo seemed to have sensed something and looked over, feeling a little surprised. ¡°A tier 27 Dragon Transformation Realm auctioneer?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s gaze lingered on the other party. This medicine shop was indeed worthy of its reputation. Even an auctioneer could possess such strength. ¡°Thank you all for coming to participate in this auction. I am the auctioneer today, Teacher Song.¡± The middle-aged man introduced himself before raising his hand and waving it. Dozens of balls of light appeared in front of him and floated on the auction stage. Everyone¡¯s gaze was attracted by the light balls. They could feel an extraordinary fluctuation from these balls of light. Almost everyone quietened down as they stared unblinkingly at the balls of light in front of them. ¡°I¡¯ve placed three spirit pills on it. Hopefully, they can give me some spirit-grade spirit pills.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, his gaze turned towards the auction stage. The medicine shop¡¯s auction was extremely high-end. Especially during this period of time, the initial stage of the auction was already tier nine. It would be auctioned once every ten days, and the final item would definitely be a spirit-grade. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze stopped at the center. That was the ball of light with the most intense spiritual energy fluctuations, which was also the final item of this auction. That was undoubtedly the focus of the entire auction. If it was not for the fact that the medicine shop was powerful, the people who came to participate in the auction this time would probably snatch it from him. Snatching an auction was a common occurrence. In fact, if it was not for Luo Haoyu¡¯s intimidation during the previous auctions that Lin Mo held, he might have been snatched as well¡­ On the auction stage, song Shi¡¯s expression was calm as he looked at the expectant crowd. With a wave of his hand, a ball of light descended from the sky. The light dissipated, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. ¡°Ninth-grade supreme-grade Jade Heart Pill. It has excellent healing effects. Basically, as long as you consume it, you will be able to heal all external injuries.¡± ¡°This is a necessary medicine for training outside and fighting with others. It can not be missed.¡± Song Shi looked at the Spirit Pill and nodded his head in satisfaction. The quality of this spirit pill was excellent, and its medicinal effects were extraordinary. He opened the jade bottle, and a rich medicinal aroma wafted through the entire auction hall. ¡°Jade Heart Pill, the starting bid is 8,000 middle-tier spirit stones.¡± The moment song Shi announced the starting bid, the atmosphere in the auction hall immediately soared, and someone immediately placed a bid. ¡°8,200 middle-tier spirit stones.¡± It hadn¡¯t been peaceful recently, and the Jade Heart Pill was a spirit pill that could heal one¡¯s injuries. As such, there were many people bidding for it. ¡°8,500 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Looking at the people participating in the auction, Lin Mo nodded his head. The first item to be auctioned was his. A 9th rank high-grade Jade Heart Pill, and its quality was extremely good. As long as the rebate was a hundred times or more, it would definitely be a spirit rank. ¡°My luck can¡¯t be that bad, right?¡± Looking at the few people who were still bidding, Lin Mo yawned. However, this also caused Qing Xi to feel a little anxious, as Lin Mo had no intention of participating in the bidding. This Jade Heart Pill was a good item, and it was enough to allow Lin Mo to perfectly recover after a huge battle. One had to know how dangerous their journey had been, and the demand for spirit herbs was extremely huge. There was a high-quality spirit pill in front of them, and they could not miss it. ¡°13,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°15,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This is my final bid. If anyone else bids, I won¡¯t accept it.¡± A lazy voice sounded from the private room next to Lin Mo¡¯s. It was the voice of the torturer from before. He had also come to participate in the auction. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re quite afraid of death.¡± Lin Mo chuckled softly. 15,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This price was already the peak of the Jade Heart Pill. No one was willing to suffer a loss. In the end, Song Shi dropped his hammer three times and announced the results of the auction under Qing Xi¡¯s anxious gaze. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a tier 9 top-grade Jade Heart Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 800 times rebate from the auction. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Grade-1 Spirit Rank Jade Dragon Pill. ] 800-fold return from the auction was indeed a little low. If the 10,000-fold return from a top-grade tier 9 Jade Heart Pill was to be auctioned, it would at least be a spirit-grade 4 pill. Who would have thought that it would only be 800-fold and that he had just broken through to the spirit-grade. ¡°Looks like only if I auctioned it personally, the chances of a high-fold return would be higher¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He had discovered some patterns. Every time an item was auctioned, as the quality of the items auctioned increased, the number of folds would not be too bad. Recently, there were very few items that were lower than 1,000. However, the multiples of the items auctioned were very low. Most of them were low. The last time he triggered the 10,000 multiples was purely due to luck. For example, the second item was still Lin Mo¡¯s spirit pill. It was a high-grade grade 9 blood coagulation pill, and it triggered a 10-fold return from the auction¡­ The return was still a blood coagulation pill, and its quality was only slightly better than the ones sold. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to auction it myself¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The third ball of light was taken down by Song Shi, and the light dissipated. What appeared in everyone¡¯s hands was a jade the size of a head. ¡°The next treasure is a jade marrow that contains pure fire attribute essence.¡± ¡°Heaven Fire Jade Marrow. I¡¯m sure everyone understands its effects. It¡¯s very tempting to fire attribute cultivators. ¡°At the same time, it can also be used to forge weapons. It has many uses.¡± On the auction stage, Song Shi introduced this piece of chalcedony. It was rare to see a head-sized chalcedony. Moreover, its grade was already at the third level of the spirit rank. It was extremely precious. ¡°It can be smelted into the Ancient Sword of Desolation.¡± Lin Mo stood up. He was very satisfied with the quick chalcedony. Furthermore, the quantity was huge. He could even leave a portion of it for cultivation¡­ Chapter 311 - The Older the Spicier ¡°Sir, are you going to auction off this treasure?¡± The maid in charge of serving Lin Mo asked. ¡°Oh, is there anything to pay attention to?¡± Lin Mo asked. He definitely wanted such a large piece of Heavenly Fire Jade Marrow. ¡°If sir wants the Heavenly Fire Jade Marrow, our medicine house has another piece. It¡¯s the size of a fist, grade 1 spirit-grade.¡± The maid told Lin Mo that the owner of the heavenly fire chalcedony on the stage had a strange personality. He did not want spirit stones, but wanted to exchange them for a cultivation technique. Cultivation techniques were extremely precious. This old man even wanted to exchange for a special thunder attribute cultivation technique. This heavenly fire chalcedony had already been auctioned off three times in the medicine shop, but the seller was very stubborn, unwilling to lower his requirements¡­ ¡°I see. Let¡¯s see how things go first.¡± Lin Mo expressed his gratitude. At the same time, he also asked the medicine house to bring him the Skyfire Chalcedony. This item contained the fire Dao laws and was very helpful for cultivation. After the maid left, Master Song on the stage opened his mouth and told everyone that the seller did not want spirit stones and wanted to barter. ¡°May I know what treasure this seller wants?¡± Someone asked. He had just arrived at cloud pattern city and did not know. Hearing this, song Shi said with a helpless look on his face, ¡°The seller wants a third-grade spirit-grade thunder attribute cultivation technique book¡­¡± ¡°Hua!¡± The whole place was in an uproar. This was simply asking for too much. Even if the quality of the Heavenly Fire Chalcedony was high, and it was such a big piece, it was still a bit ridiculous to want to exchange it for a thunder attribute cultivation technique¡­ ¡°It¡¯s too expensive¡­¡± ¡°You guys just arrived and don¡¯t know about it. This heavenly fire chalcedony has already been auctioned off three times. The seller isn¡¯t willing to lower the conditions¡­¡± ¡°Looks like the auction is still going to fail this time¡­¡± ¡°Song Shi, can you please tell the seller that I¡¯m willing to exhange a level 2 spirit rank lightning attribute cultivation technique?¡± A hoarse voice came from the private room, willing to exchange it for a level 2 spirit rank cultivation technique. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, I¡¯ve already said it before, the seller isn¡¯t willing to lower it¡­¡± Song Shi said with an apologetic expression. Hearing this, the private room fell silent. Clearly, he did not want to be a sucker. The entire place was silent, with no one speaking. The atmosphere was a little cold¡­ Seeing this, Song Shi shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to announce that this auction item would not be auctioned off. Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s voice rang out, ¡°Song Shi, I have a lightning attribute spirit rank 2 cultivation technique here.¡± Someone looked at Lin Mo¡¯s private room doubtfully. Someone had just offered the same price, why was this person still offering such a price? Song Shi shook his head and said, ¡°Young Master Lin, the seller insists on a spirit rank 3 cultivation technique. I¡¯m very sorry.¡± Just as he was about to announce that the auction had failed, Lin Mo hurriedly said, ¡°I still have a piece of Holy Thunder Chalcedony, tier 1 spirit-grade. How about adding it?¡± A rank 2 spirit-grade cultivation technique, along with a tier 1 Holy Thunder Chalcedony, should be enough for the price. If the seller was still unwilling to give in, then he would not accept it. He would not be at a disadvantage¡­ Most of the resources on him, including the inheritance runes, were in Yan Rong¡¯s hands. He had almost given them to Jiang Xiyue. As for the cultivation techniques that Yan Rong had written, he had most of them with him. Lin Mo did not have the time to check them. Therefore, he did not have many resources on him. It was obviously impossible for him to give away higher-level cultivation techniques¡­ ¡°Holy Thunder Jade Marrow?¡± Master Song¡¯s eyes lit up. This was a treasure of thunder attribute cultivators. Moreover, with this jade marrow, the seller would surely agree¡­ ¡°Young Master Lin, Please Wait a moment. We¡¯ll go ask around.¡± Song Shi summoned a maid and gave her orders. After waiting for about three minutes, the maid walked over. Under Song Shi¡¯s nod, the maid bowed respectfully, she said, ¡°Young Master Lin, the seller said that if you add another 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones, he will agree.¡± The crowd booed. This seller¡¯s heart was truly black. A spirit level 2 cultivation technique and a piece of Holy Thunder Jade Marrow. This price was already very reasonable, yet this fellow still wanted 50,000 middle grade spirit stones. ¡°10,000 middle grade spirit stones, that¡¯s the price¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Why was this seller even worse than him? It seemed like he had met his match¡­ ¡°Hehe, since young master Lin is so forthright, this old man will naturally agree to it.¡± On the other side, the window of the private room was opened, and a sound of aged laughter sounded out, agreeing to the transaction. Everyone turned their gazes over, curious to see what the seller looked like. However, the old man was wearing a bamboo hat, so they couldn¡¯t tell what he looked like. Disappointment was written all over his face. Lin Mo secretly gritted his teeth. He had been scammed. The old man was clearly tempted. He had started off with 50,000 middle-tier spirit stones just to earn a little more¡­ ¡°Sigh, the older the ginger, the spicier it is¡­¡± Sighing, two maids knocked on the door and walked in. Two pieces of Heavenly Fire Chalcedony were sent over. After inspecting it, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°As for the spirit stones, they will be deducted from the spirit pills I auctioned off.¡± After handing the cultivation technique and the Holy Thunder Chalcedony to the maids, Lin Mo accepted the Heavenly Fire Chalcedony. At this moment, the fourth item auctioned off on the stage was also Lin Mo¡¯s Spirit Pill, a tier 9 mid-grade spirit restoration pill that could restore spiritual energy. It also caused a huge commotion, and spirit pills were extremely popular everywhere. In the end, this spirit recovering pill was auctioned off for a price of 9,000 mid-grade spirit stones. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off a 9th rank mid-grade spirit recovering pill ] [ Successfully triggered 70 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining a tier 9 mid-grade spirit recovering pill ] The spirit recovering pill was returned, but its quality was already infinitely close to that of a toer 9 high-grade spirit recovering pill, causing Lin Mo to feel helpless. As expected, the auction was not good enough. The fifth item was a tier 1 spirit-grade martial art, causing everyone to clamor for it. The ban had been lifted for half a year, martial arts and cultivation techniques were the most popular. As long as they appeared, it would cause everyone to fight over them. The starting price was also as high as 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and the highest bidder would obtain it. However, Lin Mo was not interested in this. Just the Qilin steps, Kun Peng Wings, True Phoenix Nirvana technique, and Cloud Piercing Four Spirits were enough for him on his plate. Moreover, he had the soul-devouring art that he created himself. Thus, he would not participate in the auction for martial arts at all. ¡°25,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°26,000¡­¡± Looking at the fiery auction, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued because the remaining items seemed to be spirit-grade treasures¡­ Lin Mo suddenly thought of a problem. It seemed like all the tier 9 treasures in this auction came from his own hands¡­ After an intense competition, this martial arts manual was finally bought by a middle-aged woman in the private room for 35,000 middle-grade spirit stones. The transaction was done on the spot, and she immediately left the venue, causing countless people to discuss it. As for the remaining auction items, they were all martial arts. Lin Mo did not participate in the entire process and just watched quietly. Then, the final items came. These were two tier 1 spirit rank defensive talismans, able to withstand a full-strength attack from a first sky Nirvana Realm expert. As soon as it appeared, it caused everyone to clamor for it, and in the end, it was bought by Lin Mo with a grade 4 spirit rank cultivation technique book. Such a huge expenditure truly shocked everyone. Some of them looked at Lin Mo with envy. ¡°Alright, next is the final item for auction¡­¡± Chapter 312 - Lin Mo’s Plans This final item was a spirit-grade 4 pill formula, causing quite a stir. However, Lin Mo did not care about this at all, and left this place together with Qing XI. When he returned to the inn, two people had already appeared. Qing Xi and Lin Mo were shocked and subconsciously wanted to attack. However, when Lin Mo saw the two people in the room, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ve finally waited for you¡­¡± Lin Mo relaxed and pulled Qing Xi back into the room. These two people were none other than Jiang Xiyue¡¯s two personal maids, Qing Wen and Qing Wu. ¡°The palace master asked us to see what you¡¯re doing.¡± Qing Wu said unceremoniously. At the same time, she looked at Qing Xi unkindly. The latter¡¯s pale blue eyes rolled around as she looked at Qing Wen and Qing wu curiously. ¡°I made a deal with her to protect her from the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty,¡± Lin Mo said. Unexpectedly, after Qing Wen and Qing Wu heard this, they actually held the weapons in their hands and said, ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± ¡°Once your whereabouts are exposed, that would be treason. You won¡¯t be able to participate in the capital¡¯s Dao Conference, and you¡¯ll even be wanted by the Yanhuang Divine Empire.¡± Qing Wu said angrily. Before they came, Jiang Xiyue had already guessed what Lin Mo was doing, but she also did not understand why Lin Mo would do this. ¡°Or could it be that you¡¯re lecherous and have betrayed His Highness?¡± Qing Wen was equally furious. He wanted nothing more than to chop this man who had caused trouble for the palace master into pieces. ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless and told him the whole story. He did not know what the Qing Huai Holy Land and the crown prince were talking about, but there was definitely a loophole. ¡°These palace masters already know. What you need to do now is to hurry to the imperial palace,¡± Qing Wen said. Yan Rong had already brought Lin Die to the imperial city through the teleportation array because Yan Rong and Lin Mo had participated in the Battle of the ancient flame relic together. Therefore, many people knew that Lin Mo had a guard by his side. This was also the reason why Yan Rong was unimpeded on the way. Even if he was stopped, he was only interrogated and did not make things difficult. When they arrived at the imperial city, Jiang Xiyue summoned them and learned about the changes in the Qinghuai Holy Land from Yan Rong. ¡°The palace master will send people to clean up the evil cultivators of the Qinghuai Holy Land. In addition, there is the help of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. You don¡¯t have to participate in this matter.¡± Qing Wen said, telling Lin Mo to hurry to the imperial city. It was too dangerous to get involved in this storm. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then if we protect the holy daughter of the Qinghuai Holy Land, won¡¯t we be able to make the Qinghuai Holy Land Stand on our side?¡± Lin Mo said. If Jiang Xiyue could really deal with the evil cultivators of the Qinghuai Holy Land, then there would be no problem. Moreover, he was planning to give the true dragon bloodline to Jiang Xiyue. How could he give up halfway. ¡°True Dragon Bloodline?¡± Qing Wen and Qing Wu looked at Qing Xi with a hint of surprise in their eyes. After hearing Lin Mo¡¯s explanation, they finally understood why the crown prince was so determined to capture Qing Xi. In order to achieve his goal, he had even released some of his trump cards and sent out an army to arrest her¡­ One had to know that even the crown prince did not have the authority to send out an army. This was the authority of the Emperor, and the Crown Prince had exceeded his authority. Once the emperor came out of seclusion, the crown prince would probably be stripped of his authority to oversee the country¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine to lose some power for the sake of the true dragon bloodline.¡± Qing Wu nodded, finally understanding the ins and outs of the matter. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then we¡¯ll take all the dragon blood. You and the palace master will split it equally, and our power will soar.¡± Qing Wu said as she pointed her weapon forward. She actually wanted to kill Qing Xi and take all the dragon blood. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Lin Mo hurriedly went forward to stop her, a helpless look on his face. Why was Qing Wu so murderous? When he first met Jiang Xiyue, this Qing Wu wanted to kill him and take the array away¡­ He did not expect that this girl had not changed at all after not seeing her for such a long time. Her killing intent was still as strong as ever. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t bear to part with her?¡± Qing Wu waited for Lin Mo. Clearly, she thought that Lin Mo was only interested in Qing Xi¡¯s beauty and could not bear to kill her. ¡°What is this¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. This young lady¡¯s temper was really bad. He was willing to protect Qing Xi because of Bai Luo. The jade pendant that Bai Luo gave him meant that she clearly had some relationship with Bai Luo. Perhaps the two of them were friends. Lin Mo naturally had to do his best to protect her. Otherwise, Bai Luo might look down on her the next time they met. What if Bai Luo really cared about Qingxi? ¡°In short, I¡¯ll go and explain things to Xiyue. I¡¯ll send Qing Xi out of the Yanhuang Divine Empire first, and then I¡¯ll come back with the Dragon¡¯s blood.¡± Lin Mo promised, although it was difficult and even a little whimsical. Moreover, something so big happened in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. He did not believe that Bai Luo did not know about it. Perhaps Bai Luo was already waiting at the border of the Yanhuang dynasty. After some persuasion, Lin Mo finally made Qing Wu give up on the idea of killing Qing Xi and relax. ¡°Then why are you waiting in the city? Is it just this nonsense?¡± Qing Wen blinked and looked at Lin Mo with a puzzled expression. Lin Mo rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Of course it¡¯s for resources. Most of my resources are with Yan Rong and Lin Die.¡± This was also why he could only walk along the city. There was no other way. He could not lack spiritual pills to heal his wounds. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you two came empty-handed,¡± said Lin Mo.Jiang Xiyue would not make such a mistake in details. ¡°Hehe, you and the palace master are really interesting. You Don¡¯t even tell me anything, yet you know what the other party is up to and what they are up to.¡± Qing Wen giggled and took out the spatial bag from his waist and handed it to Lin Mo. ¡°This is called telepathy,¡± Lin Mo said shamelessly. His words instantly drew three rolls of eyes. Qing Xi was relieved, but she still looked at Qing Wu with some vigilance. After all, Qing Wu did not look like she was faking it when she wanted to kill her. She cupped her hands at Qing Wen and said, ¡°Please thank eighth prince for me. If I manage to leave the Yanhuang Divine Empire, the True Dragon bloodline will be yours.¡± After saying goodbye to Qing Wen and Qing Wu, Lin Mo and Qing Xi started their journey. At this moment, the last bit of worry in his heart was gone. Yan Rong and Lin Die would definitely be fine under the protection of Jiang Xiyue. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s information was also very good. She knew about the changes in the Qinghuai Holy Land. In addition to Yan Rong¡¯s news and the help of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, even if there were any changes, she would be prepared. Without any worries and with sufficient resources, Lin Mo brought Qing Xi through the mountains. ¡°We¡¯ll cross the mountain range. It¡¯s faster to walk in a straight line. We¡¯ll definitely send you away within half a month,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. There were more than a dozen spirit-grade panaceas in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s spatial bag, and countless 8th and 9th tier panaceas. They were all recovery-type and healing-type panaceas. This was also his capital to cross the boundless mountain range. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be too risky to walk in a straight line?¡± Qing Xi said. In the mountain range, other than some specific routes, most of them were filled with danger zones or occupied by powerful demonic beasts. If they were to go through it recklessly, it would be dangerous. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. The crown prince has even mobilized his army. If we take the conventional route, we will only be captured.¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. Chapter 313 - Crossing the Danger Zone ¡°Then let¡¯s go. If we really can¡¯t do it¡­ Leave me behind and run¡­¡± Qing Xi said, dragging Lin Mo into a dangerous situation. She felt guilty. If Lin Mo lost his life because of this, she would not be able to sleep at night. The allure of the True Dragon bloodline was too great. Fortunately, not many people knew about it. Otherwise, there would be no place for her in the entire Eastern Continent. There were many dangerous places in the mountain range, and all kinds of dangers coexisted. The place where Lin Mo and Qing Xi were located was restricted in both space and space, so they could only walk slowly. They even walked deeper into the place, and felt that the spiritual Qi in their bodies was hard to sense. They only recovered after leaving the area. However, although this was a dangerous place, it was also the best place to hide from the pursuers. In order to protect themselves and also to leave this area, they could only choose to cross this danger zone. ¡°Rumble.¡± The sky and earth shook. A large array was placed on the side and a world-shaking battle erupted. Along with the buzzing sound, a violent explosion caused the earth to crack. Immediately after, there was a beast¡¯s roar. It was extremely mournful. Finally, the earth shook and a huge ape the size of a small mountain fell. This was a Nirvana Realm demonic beast, but at this moment, it was killed. ¡°It even ran to the most dangerous place to search¡­¡± Qing Xi¡¯s face turned pale. Lin Mo did not say anything. He cut open the head of the huge ape and took out a fist-sized inner core. A spirit rank 1 inner core was a rare treasure for him. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to run?¡± Qing Xi asked. Why was Lin Mo still thinking about digging for the inner core at this time? ¡°Hehe, because you guys can¡¯t run away¡­¡± The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the forest. A team of iron cavalrymen walked out. The leader of the team said. He glanced at Lin Mo and then his gaze stopped on Qing Xi¡¯s face. The smile on his face became even wider. ¡°Such a beautiful woman. Before we capture her, we can enjoy her first¡­¡± He waved the long spear in his hand, and dozens of iron cavalrymen rushed out from the surrounding forest. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and kill that brat who¡¯s in the way,¡± The leader said and ordered his men to attack. Although he was only at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, this group of iron cavalry could form a battle formation. It was a spirit level spell that could fight against Nirvana Realm warriors. The giant ape just now had powerful combat strength. Moreover, it was not affected by the domain here, but it was still killed. ¡°Kill!¡± More than ten iron cavalry rushed over. The long spears in their hands stabbed at Lin Mo and exploded with divine light. The leader also rushed toward Qing Xi, wanting to take her down. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± Lin Mo said angrily as the Devouring God Body¡¯s domain spread out, instantly enveloping all of the people charging toward him. Flames spread out, sizzling as they attached themselves to the Ancient Sword of Desolation, directly cutting off the magical weapons of these people. However, as the runes exploded, the iron cavalry beneath these people was affected and was burnt by the flames, sending them fleeing in all directions. ¡°My spiritual energy, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°I seem to have heard of this move somewhere before.¡± These people were shocked and looked at Lin Mo, but they did not know who he was. ¡°Sir, do you think it¡¯s possible that Lin Mo is the one who is secretly protecting the pure witch? After all, the moves are somewhat similar¡­¡± Someone said. ¡°Oh!¡± When the leader heard this, he looked at Lin Mo, but because of the bamboo hat, he could not see anything clearly. However, he also remembered that according to the rumors about Lin Mo, he had a domain that was black in color, as deep as a black hole. Once it was activated, it would seal everything in its place, and any spiritual energy would be devoured by it. ¡°Sir, be careful. If It¡¯s Lin Mo, then he still has a puppet.¡± Someone reminded him, as he knew some of Lin Mo¡¯s background. ¡°I know. Everyone, set up the formation and attack with all your might.¡± The leader waved his hand and threw out many large flags. These iron cavalry instantly accepted the order and rushed over to pull up the formation flags, surrounding Lin Mo. ¡°Kill them all!¡± Qing Xi walked over. Lin Mo¡¯s identity was almost exposed. These people could not be let off, otherwise, they would bring endless trouble to Lin Mo. At this moment, Lin Mo had already prepared his moves. Sword Qi shot up into the sky, instantly finding the flaw in the formation and cutting off a huge flag. In the next moment, he charged toward the leader. Sword Qi swept out, unleashing a shocking attack. ¡°Clang.¡± The long sword and the long spear collided. In an instant, the explosion sent the two surrounding iron cavalry flying. ¡°Lin Mo, it really is you.¡± Suddenly, another group of iron cavalry rushed over from afar. Their auras were powerful, even stronger than the leader in front of them. ¡°Just how many of them have come¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The sounds of battle attracted the attention of another pair of iron cavalry. Furthermore, looking at the battle flags in their hands, it was obvious that they were in a battle formation. ¡°Bang.¡± After another exchange of blows, Lin Mo released his Origin Spirit Puppet to fight against that pair of iron cavalry. However, due to the battle formation, the puppet was not able to hold on for long. At the same time, divine light blossomed beneath Lin Mo¡¯s feet. Purple light flickered as he walked with a peculiar pace. Lin Mo executed the Qilin Steps and stepped on this leader¡¯s chest. At such a close distance, he was instantly killed on the spot. Together with his mount, he was blasted into a pile of meat paste. ¡°Qing Xi, take care of the others.¡± Lin Mo said and let Qing Xi take care of the remaining iron cavalry. As for himself, he charged to the other side. The Ancient Sword of Desolation slashed down and immediately killed an iron cavalry who was in formation. ¡°The formation is not bad, but it can only target one person. The flaw is too big.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and shifted his body horizontally. The Kun Peng Wings spread out. There was not much time left. He had to end the battle quickly. Otherwise, when their reinforcements arrived, he would enter a protracted battle. ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s figure instantly appeared behind the leader. A Vermilion Bird appeared between his fingers, and the flames on his body transformed into the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame. The leader¡¯s expression changed. He wanted to escape, but his speed could not catch up to Lin Mo at all. He was caught up by Kun Peng Wings, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame filled the sky, burning him into ashes. This victory was extremely dangerous, and Lin Mo almost died. If it was not for this guy¡¯s carelessness, he would have thought that Lin Mo¡¯s fame was all because of his puppet. Thus, he had placed all his attention on the puppet. In the end, Lin Mo used the Kun Peng Wings and the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits to launch a sneak attack. He exploded with a powerful force and killed him. Lin Mo consumed a spirit pill to recover his spiritual energy. He waved the Ancient Sword of Desolation one time after another, killing the remaining cavalry. Screams and the smell of blood spread throughout the area. Some people turned their mounts around, wanting to escape, but ended up lying in a pool of blood. The scene was extremely bloody. This world was already cruel. If Lin Mo did not kill these people, his methods and identity would be spread, and he would never have peace. Lin Mo did not have time to lament over these things. He picked up Qing XI, and with a flap of his Kun Peng Wings, he left this place. However, the traces were still not cleaned up. Moreover, this was a dangerous place. There were rare ferocious beasts everywhere and it was extremely dangerous. Some people discovered the traces and used them to chase after them. A single move could affect the whole body. Lin Mo encountered quite a number of pursuers along the way. Each team was led by a level 30 Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse. There were even some people who were tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm. Even Lin Mo had to avoid them. ¡°Lin Mo, if you can¡¯t do it, you can put me down¡­¡± Chapter 314 - Breakthrough After Calamity On the way, Qing Xi¡¯s face was covered in tears of blood as she looked at Lin Mo with a face full of worry. She felt a little regretful. If she had known that it would be so dangerous, she would not have let Lin Mo escort her. Now, she had implicated him as well. The most dangerous time before was when Lin Mo had brought her across a river. In the end, something unexpected happened and flying could not be done here. They fell down, but there were fierce beasts hidden below, and the pursuers from the rear rushed over again. That time was really dangerous. Lin Mo threw her out and faced the fierce beasts and pursuers alone, fighting over a hundred experts in a bloody battle. In the end, when she found Lin Mo, the latter was holding a fierce beast inner core in his hand. His entire body was covered in blood, and his Dantian was injured. His origin was injured. Lin Mo only recovered with the help of the spirit pill after more than ten days of recuperation. It was extremely dangerous. ¡°It¡¯s alright. After experiencing so many battles, I¡¯ve already touched the threshold of tier 25 level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, ¡°Lin Mo said with a smile. The bloody battles along the way also benefited him greatly. As long as he found a place to seclude himself for a while, he would be able to complete his breakthrough. In this way, even if he was no match for a tier 31 expert in the Dragon Transformation Realm, he would still be able to retreat unscathed. ¡°They¡¯re just ahead. Chase after them and don¡¯t let them go.¡± While Lin Mo was resting, there were more pursuers from behind. A total of three groups of people had arrived and surrounded the two of them. ¡°Surround them and call more people over.¡± A young man said and ordered three groups of people to surround them while at the same time looking for other people. Lin Mo had escaped many times, and every time they made a move, they were annihilated. This also made them afraid of Lin Mo¡¯s powerful combat strength, so they did not dare to act rashly. ¡°Second young master, don¡¯t come near. Leave this place to this old slave. You go and find the eldest young master,¡± said an old servant. This young man clearly had an extraordinary identity and was not strong. He was only at tier 22 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, but he could order three teams of people. However, he also had his own pride and was not willing to back down. He said, ¡°Big Brother is the crown prince¡¯s study companion. Everyone says that he¡¯s the next master of the Heavenly King Mansion, but I¡¯m not convinced. Today, I¡¯ll help the Crown Prince obtain the True Dragon Bloodline.¡± The crown prince¡¯s study companion was Jin Lie, who was ranked eighth on the Board of Fame. This person was Jin Lie¡¯s second brother, so his identity was also the second young master of the Heavenly King Mansion, Jin Yu. Qing Xi was slightly surprised. She looked at Lin Mo with a worried expression. On the Yan Huang Board of Fame, with her strength, she could be ranked in the top 15, and her strength was at tier 22 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Her true battle strength was equivalent to the 26th level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, which was already very good. However, his combat strength was only about the same as Jin Yu¡¯s. With his true dragon bloodline, he might be a little stronger. However, it was said that Jin Lie had comprehended the Dao one after another today, and his strength had advanced terrifyingly. He seemed to be looking down on all the heroes. This kind of mission was also a treasure to the imperial family, and it could not be lost. Perhaps, there was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse guarding behind Jin Lie, but he had not made a move yet. ¡°Is Jin Lie here? I wonder what level he is at now.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself, a hint of battle intent appearing in his eyes. He and Jin Lie had already formed a feud in the ruins. Moreover, their standpoints were different. If he could be killed here, it would be an opportunity. ¡°Humph, I can feel the killing intent on your body. Do you want to kill me?¡±Jin Yu looked at Lin Mo, his spiritual sense sharp. ¡°Young Master, you go first.¡± The old servant continued to say, blocking Lin Mo. ¡°Stop talking nonsense, all of you go up and take him down.¡± Jin Yu directly gave the order, wanting to kill Lin Mo here. The battle was about to start, Lin Mo didn¡¯t dare to be careless. His powerful strength erupted, killing the approaching iron cavalry one by one. Their formation was flawed, they did not dare to set it up. Although Qing Xi was surrounded and in danger, with Lin Mo¡¯s protection, she was temporarily fine. However, in the next moment, a crack appeared in the air. Behind Qing Xi, a long spear pierced through. It was a tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm warrior who was hiding in the dark. At this moment, he launched a sneak attack. The old servant also made a move and joined hands with the other two tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm warriors to deal with Lin Mo. In an instant, Lin Mo felt the pressure and was unable to save Qing Xi. ¡°Haha, now is the time. Quick, get the Dragon¡¯s blood.¡± Jin Yu laughed loudly. He felt that there was no mistake and rushed forward. Because Qing Xi was not weak, she avoided the first attack. However, Jin Yu had already blocked their escape route. ¡°You¡¯re all courting death.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly. The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open and golden light flashed. However, it only lasted for an instant, causing everyone to be unable to react. In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared, leaving behind a puppet on the spot. He had already appeared in front of Jin Yu. He raised his hand and struck down, causing blood to spurt out. Jin Yu¡¯s arms were broken, and he was sent flying backwards. However, he was subsequently grabbed by Lin Mo and used as a threat to force the other party to not dare to make a move against Qing Xi. ¡°Puppet?¡± The old servant was shocked, but he quickly recovered and looked at Lin Mo. At this moment, Jin Yu was also looking at Lin Mo with a face full of disbelief. His heart was filled with unwillingness. Lin Mo¡¯s ranking was clearly lower than his, so why did he injure him with just one move? Now, Lin Mo lifted him up like he was holding a chicken, causing him to lose all face. ¡°Bastard, Lin Mo, you actually dare to protect evil cultivators. Are you going to betray the country?¡± Jin Yu said angrily, his roar shaking the sky. The old servant in the distance was also shocked. He crushed a jade talisman and his face was filled with anxiety. ¡°Hehe, you all know the specifics of this matter. As for me protecting evil cultivators, do you have any evidence?¡± Lin Mo smiled. The Origin Spirit Puppet had returned, and Lin Mo did not have the mood to stay here. He decisively attacked and killed Jin Yu. ¡°How dare you¡­¡± The old servant roared and rushed towards Lin Mo. however, it was already too late. Jin Yu¡¯s life had already passed. ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly and left this place with Qing Xi, leaving behind the old servant with a face full of grief and indignation, as well as the Iron Cavalry with a face full of fear. ¡°Sigh, I can¡¯t rest anymore. Jin Lie is also here. I wonder if there¡¯s a Nirvana Realm powerhouse guarding him in the dark¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and brought Qing Xi along to escape. During this time, they massacred another group of people and escaped from this dangerous land. ¡°Great, we¡¯ve broken through the blockade¡­¡± Qing Xi¡¯s face was full of excitement. Although this journey was dangerous, at least she was safe. ¡°Damn it, I¡¯ve used up more than half of my panaceas¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was not very good. Facing the continuous battles, the blood in his body churned and he could no longer suppress his aura. ¡°Ah ah¡­¡± He let out a roar, and waves of intense pain came from his Dantian. Qing Xi was shocked. She wanted to check the changes on Lin Mo¡¯s body, but found that a circle of black ripples appeared outside. When she got close, she was instantly confined, unable to move. Finally, she was sent flying by a stream of spiritual energy. ¡°What terrifying power.¡± She was extremely shocked. Lin Mo slowly took out a Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast¡¯s inner core and swallowed it. In an instant, a powerful fluctuation spread. A suction force erupted from Lin Mo¡¯s Dantian and crazily swallowed this energy. However, after a short while, an inner core was absorbed just like that. Then, Lin Mo swallowed another one. After an hour, Lin Mo¡¯s tightly shut eyes finally opened, and a bright light flashed. Qing Xi stared blankly and muttered, ¡°He broke through¡­¡± Chapter 315 - Escape the Heavens ¡°But, a vicious beast inner core was actually absorbed just like that?¡± His face was filled with shock. The spiritual energy contained within the inner core was extremely dense, and its purity wasn¡¯t high enough. It needed to be refined before it could be absorbed. However, Lin Mo was able to devour it so easily, and not a single trace of it escaped¡­ ¡°Looks like you have some secrets on you¡­¡± Qing Xi sighed. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from behind her. ¡°Have you broken through? That¡¯s good too. Killing you can also be considered helping the crown prince solve a problem.¡± A group of people walked out from the dense forest. The person in the lead was about twenty years old. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had the bearing of a king. Jin Lie! The eldest young master of the Heavenly King Mansion, ranked eighth on the Yanhuang Board of Fame. He was the crown princ¡¯s study companion¡­ ¡°Why? Do you want to fight with me?¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at Jin lie. As the study companion of the crown prince, he was deeply trusted and obtained a lot of resources. His current strength was the same as Lin Mo, tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°Hehe, I originally wanted to fight with you, but I felt that there was no need,¡± Jin lie said coldly. As he said this, the experts behind him stepped forward and surrounded Lin Mo and Qing Xi, wanting to capture them. ¡°Hehe, are you afraid?¡± Lin Mo sneered. ¡°I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll run away. Since we can gang up on each other, there¡¯s no need to fight one-on-one¡­¡±J in Lie said with his hands behind his back. Although he was confident that he could kill Lin Mo, Lin Mo still had a puppet. If he used it at the critical moment, it was very likely that he would escape. He would not make such a low-level mistake. As long as he killed Lin Mo and brought back the Dragon Blood, he would be an existence above all the people under the Yan Huang Divine Empire in the future. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together. Kill Lin Mo and capture Qing Xi.¡± He waved his hand and the people lying on the ground attacked. These people instantly attacked with weapons in their hands. At the same time, Lin Mo also sensed that there was an extremely powerful existence in the dark that had locked onto him. It was in the Nirvana Realm¡­ Lin Mo sighed slightly. The Origin Spirit Puppet opened up a path and turned around to flee. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings continuously flapped and its speed increased to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, it had shaken off these people. However, that Nirvana Realm expert was still chasing after him and was continuously closing the distance between them. In the end, Lin Mo had no choice but to leave behind some blood essence to interfere with the other party¡¯s judgment. He used the concentration spell to conceal his aura and left this place. When he rested again, Lin Mo¡¯s face was pale. It was already night time, and he had unknowingly escaped with Qing Xi for another day. Under the moonlight, Lin Mo¡¯s face turned even paler. He felt extremely tired. It was not just his physical body, but his soul as well. He really wanted to sleep and rest. He had lost a lot of his blood essence, and the Devouring God Body in his body was also restless. Without the suppression of his origin, the Devouring God Body began to devour his power. This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury. If this continued, Lin Mo would be devoured by his life force and die. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Qing Xi anxiously looked at Lin Mo and took out some spirit pills to feed him. Her cold face carried some worry. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just need to rest for a while¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded, took another spirit grade spirit pill, and fell into a deep sleep. When he was escaping previously, he was attacked by a Nirvana Realm expert. Moreover, he had been escaping and there was no time to heal his injuries. After dragging it out, he finally injured his origin. However, the strength of his God Devouring Body was also displayed. The medicinal effect of the spirit grade spirit pill was perfectly absorbed and not a single bit was wasted. After that, he took out the spirit pill and swallowed it. The injuries on his body gradually recovered and what surprised Lin Mo was tha this injury actually allowed him to completely stabilize his tier 25 Dragon Transformation. He had only broken through for a day and it was already incomparably solid. Lin Mo had slept for an entire day. When he woke up, he was already full of vigor, and there were no signs of injury. ¡°So comfortable¡­¡± He laughed loudly. His strength had increased again. The only bad thing was that he only had three spirit grade spirit pills left. In order to cure the origin, he had expended a lot, but fortunately, he was fine. ¡°He¡¯s fine just like that?¡± Qing Xi was stunned. Even though she knew that Lin Mo was not simple, she was still shocked. ¡°Of course I¡¯m fine, but we still have to hurry and run.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, the Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open. He lifted Qing Xi up by her waist and once again began to run. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Lin Mo hid his tracks along the way, covering up all traces. He finally managed to shake off the pursuers. However, there were quite a few demonic beasts along the way. When they passed through the danger zone, the Origin Spirit Puppet was heavily injured and required a large amount of spirit stones to repair. Before that, the puppet could not be used any further. ¡°We¡¯ve also picked quite a few spirit herbs along the way. Wait outside while I go to the city to sell them.¡± When they arrived at a city, Lin Mo said to Qing Xi. He had no choice. He only had one spirit grade spirit pill left in his hands and had to make a trip to the city. Others might not be able to purchase spirit pills, but he could. As long as he could auction them, there wouldn¡¯t be any problems. ¡°En, I¡¯ll wait for you outside the city. Hurry back.¡± Qing Xi nodded. She knew that she could mot enter the city, so she could only find a place to hide. Seeing this, Lin Mo quietly entered the city. Alone, he used the spirit holding technique to hide his aura and successfully entered the city. ¡°Sir, this shop sells all kinds of ninth-grade magical artifacts. Are you interested? ¡°Spirit pills are on sale at a low price. We are in urgent need of spirit stones. Please purchase as soon as possible. ¡°¡­¡± The bustling city made Lin Mo unable to adapt to it for a moment. He had been trembling in fear for so many days and was constantly on guard against danger. There were still pursuers behind him, which made him a little absent-minded for a moment. After finding a stall in a remote corner and displaying some spirit pills, Lin mo shouted loudly, ¡°Spirit Pills and spirit pills are on sale at a low price. It¡¯s a form of auction. The starting price is low. The highest bidder will get them.¡± ¡°The starting price is low. How low is it?¡± Someone asked curiously. Why was this person auctioning them on the street? How many people would bid for them? ¡°For example, there are no low-grade ninth-grade consumable spirit pills. The market price is 10 million spirit stones. The starting price is 8 million.¡± ¡°If no one bids, you can take it for 8 million.¡± Lin Mo said unceremoniously. It was a loss of 2 million. However, he was in a hurry and could only do so. ¡°That¡¯s great. I¡¯ll bid eight million then.¡± After that person heard that, he directly bid. The surrounding people looked at each other, but none of them had any intention of bidding. ¡°No one is bidding? Then this spirit pill will be sold at a low price.¡± Lin Mo confirmed once again. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, he said, ¡°Alright, eight million. deal. Pay up.¡± After throwing the spirit pill to the bidder, Lin Mo stretched out his hand and got the person to pay for the spirit pill. ¡°So straightforward?¡± That person was stunned. He took out the spirit pill doubtfully and released his soul power. After careful verification, he finally nodded his head. This was a genuine ninth-grade spirit pill. Although it was a consumable item, if he were to sell it at the auction house, he would be able to sell it for at least eleven to twelve million. He had made a profit¡­ ¡°Brother, are you short of spirit stones? There¡¯s no need to do this. Go to the four seas auction house and they will sell it for ten million low-grade spirit stones.¡± Chapter 316 - Three Treasures Someone reminded Lin Mo that out of good intentions, he didn¡¯t want Lin Mo to suffer too much. ¡°After offending someone, I don¡¯t dare to show my face in public. Everyone, please give me some face and accept my spirit pills,¡± Lin Mo said. With this, there were no more problems. Lin Mo wore his bamboo hat, and there was a reason for him to be cautious. The crowd did not doubt him and started to inquire about the price. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the tier 9 top grade life pill ] [ Successful triggering of 2000 times the auction profit ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the spirit rank tier 1 blood vein pill ] One by one, the spirit stones were taken away by Lin Mo, and his collection gradually became bigger[. Although it was not as rich as before, it still doubled. ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t have that many spirit stones, but I have a small item in my hands, can I barter with it?¡± Someone said, wanting to trade with Lin Mo. ¡°Oh, take it out and have a look. I¡¯ll give you an estimate.¡± Lin Mo nodded. No matter if it was bartering, he did not mind. As long as it could be auctioned off, even if it was at the base price. ¡°I want this spirit grade grand blood solidification pill. I have three treasures in my hands. How much do you think it¡¯s worth?¡± That person was a young man with a scar on his face. He should be a mercenary who frequented the mountains. He would often pick up extraordinary items, but it was impossible to determine their value. Soon, a scroll and two thumb-sized stones appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. As soon as they appeared, the two stones emitted a special aura, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°This looks like good stuff.¡± Some people sighed. They didn¡¯t know what the scroll was, but these two stones were definitely not ordinary. ¡°Let me check first.¡± Black spiritual energy surged in Lin Mo¡¯s hands as his soul power covered them. On the surface, he was trying to find out what kind of treasure they were. In reality, Lin Mo had kept them in the system space at the first instant. [ Enlightenment stone fragment, tier 1 spirit-grade] [ Enlightenment stone fragment, poured into the blood of the immortal ascenders, tier 9 spirit-grade] [ Incomplete immortal scripture, records the profoundness of the Immortal Ascension platform. Only Ninth Heaven of the Nirvana realm can view it ] The system¡¯s voice rang out. Three treasures, each of them worth quite a bit, especially the last two. If this spread out, it would cause a bloody storm. The entire Eastern Continent would be in chaos. There would be people coming to snatch this incomplete immortal scripture just so they could ascend to the immortal ascension platform. Seeing Lin Mo frown, the owner of the treasure was somewhat anxious. He urged Lin Mo to ask, ¡°Fellow Daoist, can you tell what it is?¡± ¡°What a pity. I can¡¯t read that scripture. As for those two stones, the complete one should be the size of a head. They are spirit-grade tier 1 dazzling dragon stones.¡± ¡°However, these two of yours can only be fragments. Their grade is at most tier 7¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head and took out the three treasures, wanting to return them to the man. ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± The other party immediately panicked. He really wanted to exchange the spirit grade spirit pills in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. He really needed them. For this, he had even taken out what he thought was his most precious treasure. Yet, the result was like this¡­ ¡°How about this? I can¡¯t see through this scripture either. It might be a treasure. If it¡¯s not weak, I¡¯ll take a loss. Three Treasures, plus three tier 9 demonic beast inner cores or spirit pills, is that alright?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, saying that if it wa not for the fact that he couldn¡¯t see through this scripture, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to trade. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°Can I have two?¡± That man had a troubled expression on his face. He immediately thought of it and said, ¡°Fellow daoist, aren¡¯t you auctioning it? The price you set for this spirit pill is a little low.¡±. Strictly speaking, three tier 9 demonic beast inner cores were already close to the starting price set by Lin Mo. .= However, he could notsell the inner cores on the spot. Lin Mo was still in charge of the price. ¡°Alright then¡­ I¡¯ll take a loss. Two then.¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before deciding to agree. The other party¡¯s face was immediately filled with smiles as he took out two inner cores and the three treasures from before to trade with Lin Mo. . When the three treasures were once again stored in the system space, Lin Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief, his heart filled with joy. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 1 spirit-grade grand essence blood clotting pill ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000 fold return on the auction ] [ congratulations, host, for successfully obtaining the tier 5 spirit-grade grand essence blood clotting pill ] 10,000 fold return on the auction, not only did he obtain the three treasures, he had also successfully obtained the tier 5 spirit rank pills. This trip had been too good, he had made a huge profit. Following this, Lin Mo auctioned off the two inner cores. Before the news spread, he rushed to the Chamber of Commerce and the auction house, using the excuse of an expedition to purchase a large number of healing pills and spirit medicines, before leaving in a carefree manner. When some people realized that Lin Mo had lost ten to twenty million low-grade spirit stones, they felt that it was inappropriate. After thinking carefully and guessing that it was Lin Mo, he had already met up with Qing Xi and set off towards the border of the Yanhuang dynasty. ¡°According to our speed, in another five days, we will be able to cross the border and enter the Wasteland Battlefield.¡± Lin Mo looked at the map. They had been avoiding the crown prince¡¯s pursuers along the way. After taking a detour, their final destination was an ancient battlefield. The so-called desolation battlefield was where all the races in the world gathered. That place was extremely chaotic, and it was located in the buffer zone between the Yanhuang Divine Epire and the Lujin dynasty. The wanted criminals of the two empires would usually enter there, forming quite a large force. However, Lin Mo¡¯s route was still calculated by others. These people, through the clues, concluded that Lin Mo would head to the desolation battlefield and enter the Lujin Divine Empire there. ¡°He¡¯s going to be hunted down again. I wonder if Jin Lie is still there. I really want to kill him,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. Due to the exposure of his identity, rumors had spread throughout the Yanhuang Divine Empire. They said that Lin Mo had betrayed the country and was escorting the evil Saint Qing Xi into the wilderness battlefield. These were all spread by Jin Lie, giving Jiang Xiyue a headache. Lin Mo could not come out to refute the rumors, she could only announce to the public that Lin Mo was in closed door cultivation¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t do anything rash. It¡¯s the last stage, be more careful.¡± Qing Xi said, worried that something might happen at the last moment. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Jin Lie isn¡¯t my match. As long as the Nirvana stage powerhouse beside him isn¡¯t strong, I can deal with him.¡± Lin Mo said, his gaze was like a torch, incomparably confident. Qing Xi was speechless. She realized that no matter what Lin Mo did, he carried an endless wave of confidence. It was an invincible aura that looked down on everyone. This aura turned into power and made people feel at ease. It was as if no matter what dangers he faced, Lin Mo could turn them into benefits. Wasn¡¯t this what Lin Mo did when he was being chased all the way? He protected her safety. However, she still did not believe Lin Mo¡¯s words. Killing Jin lie was not a joke. He was a peerless genius who had the same invincible aura as Lin Mo. ¡°Nirvana stage experts are too terrifying. Don¡¯t take the risk.¡± Qing Xi advised. She still did not believe Lin Mo. . ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have a trump card¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Moreover, the Origin Spirit Puppet had already been repaired. Under its attack, it would be very difficult for Jin Lie to block it. The following journey was much smoother. Although there were some demonic beasts blocking the way, Qing Xi could deal with them herself. However, the two also knew that there would be a battle at the end of the journey, which was inevitable. Chapter 317 - The Final Battle As the pursuers knew that they wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up to them, after calculating the route, they went to the front to stop them. ¡°It looks like we can¡¯t go forward. You can¡¯t participate in the following battle¡­¡± Lin Mo said. In front of them, the lights were brightly lit. However, this was not to welcome them. Instead, they were iron cavalrymen holding magic weapons. At the front, there were several Nirvana Realm powerhouses, and each of them was very powerful¡­ ¡°I have extracted more than half of the true dragon¡¯s blood essence during this period of time. You should devour it. This way, your chances of survival will be higher.¡± Qing Xi opened her mouth and took out a bright red jade bottle. It contained golden blood, and there was a bright red glow in it. ¡°Thank you, but I want to give this true dragon blood essence to someone¡­¡± Lin Mo took it with a smile. At this moment, a hint of tenderness appeared on his face. After working so hard for so long, he could finally give Jiang Xiyue a better gift. ¡°Is it¡­ For Jiang Xiyue?¡± Qing Xi muttered to herself as she walked behind him and looked at Lin Mo¡¯s straight back. For some reason, when she saw Lin Mo¡¯s tender side, she felt an inexplicable sense of loss. It was difficult to put into words. ¡°People aren¡¯t born equal¡­¡± Qing Xi smiled and looked at Lin Mo in front of her. Perhaps this protection did not belong to her from the beginning. At first, it was Bai Luo, and then it was Jiang Xiyue¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll take the dragon¡¯s blood out first. You go with the Origin Spirit Puppet.¡± Lin Mo did not notice the change in Qing Xi¡¯s expression and said to himself. He looked into the distance, dropped a drop of the dragon¡¯s blood, and swallowed it. In an instant, a dragon¡¯s roar sounded in his body and a wave of rich true dragon aura reverberated. ¡°Now, you go first.¡± Lin Mo shouted loudly. As long as Qing Xi could successfully leave the border, she would be able to escape. The movements on his side also attracted the attention of the troops stationed at the front. ¡°Are they here?¡± At the front of the troops, Jin Lie sneered. This dragon¡¯s roar was definitely dragon¡¯s blood and there was no mistake. ¡°Everyone, listen up. Kill them all.¡± Jin Lie gave the order, and all the experts moved out, rushing toward Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo spread his Kun Peng Wings and flew in the opposite direction of Qing Xi. In his hand was a bottle of dragon blood, emitting a rich aura. The pursuers at the back were all frustrated. They all sped up crazily, wanting to obtain the true dragon¡¯s bloodline as soon as possible. Perhaps there were spies of other princes mixed in, but who knew? Such a chaotic scene made some people at the border baffled. However, after sensing the shocking dragon qi, they turned pale with fright. ¡°This is an archaic divine beast, the aura of a true dragon.¡± ¡°Who is that mysterious person? He actually has the aura of a true dragon?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, didn¡¯t the crown prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire order to kill the Saintess Qing Xi who colluded with evil cultivators?¡± ¡°It seems that the information is wrong¡­¡± Everyone discussed. After a short moment of hesitation, greed overcame reason, and one by one, they joined in the pursuit. The Nirvana Realm powerhouses flew at the front line, continuously approaching Lin Mo, and they were about to catch up. At this moment, Lin Mo swallowed a spiritual pill in his mouth. In the next moment, his speed soared, and in the blink of an eye, he flew 10,000 meters away. Such a terrifying speed allowed him to quickly shake off his pursuers, find a mountain range, and hide. Here, Lin Mo took out a formation disk. It was very exquisite. ¡°What a pity. It could have been used twice¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed inwardly. This was the formation disk that Bai Luo had given him before he left. It could block the attacks of Nirvana Realm powerhouses. It could have been used twice, but with so many people following behind, this formation disk was destined to be destroyed. Without the formation disk, even if he knew about the formation, he did not have the ability to set it up. Just the materials alone were a problem. After spending a few minutes to set up the formation, Lin Mo restrained his aura and then used the spirit-holding technique to leave. ¡°I hope I can delay it for a while¡­¡± After doing all this, Lin Mo resolutely turned around. Then, under the night sky, he quietly turned back and returned to the border of the Yanhuang dynasty. ¡°Harrumph!¡± The sound of horses neighing could be heard. There were still troops stationed here, but the Nirvana Realm powerhouses had all left. Most of the troops had left, leaving only a small part of them remaining. In order to prevent Lin Mo from luring them away, Qing Xi escaped alone. Jin Lie was also here. He predicted that Qing Xi was definitely still hiding nearby. With a golden light flashing, Lin Mo returned and came before Jin Lie. ¡°You¡¯re finally here. Are you Qing Xi or Lin Mo?¡± Jin Lie smiled indifferently and stood out, his body emitting a powerful aura. ¡°I¡¯m the person who¡¯s gonna kill you.¡± Lin Mo lowered his voice and walked over step by step. Under the moonlight, his body was tall and straight, facing thousands of soldiers and horses without moving an inch. ¡°Kill me? Just you alone?¡± Jin Lie¡¯s gaze was cold. There were more than a thousand people here, all of them were at least tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. One person might not be able to pose a threat to Lin Mo, but if they attacked together, even someone at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm would find it hard to find victory. ¡°Taking your head off an army is as easy as taking something from your pocket.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently, his eyes under the bamboo hat filled with confidence. Jin Lie laughed at the sky. He and Lin Mo both at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Being eighth on the Yanhuang Board of Fame was enough to show his talent. How could his combat strength be weak? Now, he even had an army by his side. Lin Mo was just one person, so what could he use to kill him? ¡°What a funny joke. However, you have to pay the price for boasting.¡± Jin Lie said as he released his aura, pressing down on Lin Mo. ¡°Whether it¡¯s a joke or not, we¡¯ll know after a battle. After killing you I can consider my mission complete.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. He looked at Jin Lie. The latter waved his hand and the iron cavalry charged toward Lin Mo. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ll fight you alone. For the crown prince¡¯s sake, I can¡¯t accept your despicable methods.¡± Jin Lie said. Lin Mo rushed over, and Jin Lie also instantly rushed forward to attack together with the iron cavalry. The fluctuation produced by the collision between the two actually overturned the surrounding iron cavalry one by one. Their imposing battle skyrocketed, and the two people exploded with astonishing destructive power. Around them, the iron cavalry all retreated. Those below tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm collapsed on the ground, being suppressed by this imposing aura. The iron cavalry under them were unable to resist because of their weaker strength. Although Lin Mo was surrounded for a time, these iron cavalry could not do anything to him. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there. Long-range attacks, use your martial arts.¡± Jin Lie said coldly. He raised his hand to block Lin Mo¡¯s punch. He was shaken by a powerful force until he was in pain. ¡°It¡¯s useless. In front of absolute strength, everything is an illusion.¡± Lin Mo approached step by step and opened his God Devouring Body¡¯s Domain. The spiritual energy in the area where the two of them were standing was instantly sucked dry. The earth cracked and space rippled. Their martial arts were confined within a certain range and could not move. In the end, they dissipated as the spiritual energy was exhausted. Even if some powerful martial arts could pass through the domain, they would not have much power in front of Lin Mo and would be easily blocked. ¡°Boom.¡± Lin Mo was not afraid. With the spiritual energy he had absorbed, he threw a punch at Jin Lie. Chapter 318 - Bitter Battle The Ancient Sword of Desolation appeared, emitting a sword qi that shot up into the sky. No one was able to stop Lin Mo. ¡°Bang.¡± Jin Lie made his move, blocking Lin Mo¡¯s advance. He gave a vicious kick, forcefully disrupting Lin Mo. He could not let Lin Mo continue like this. Otherwise, his army¡¯s morale would plummet. At that time, they would not even have the courage to make a move against Lin Mo. ¡°Rumble.¡± The Ancient Sword of Desolation fiercely slashed at Jin Lie¡¯s arm, causing sparks to fly everywhere. A layer of armor appeared on Jin Lie¡¯s arm, and mysterious symbols lit up on his body. It was a spirit-grade magic tool. It was precisely this magic tool that allowed him to block the ancient sword of Desolation¡¯s attack. In an instant, Jin Lie attacked once again. Like a wild dragon that had emerged from the mountain, his attack materialized, shaking the mountains and rivers. Moreover, with the protection of this magic tool, Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body Domain¡¯s influence on him had also become much smaller. Jin Lie formed a seal with both hands. The first move he made was a high-level spirit-grade martial art. In front of him, a mountain-splitting giant axe was formed. It was formed by the absorption of spirit qi runes, and it emitted a dazzling light. ¡°Rumble.¡± The giant axe hacked downwards with great momentum, suppressing Lin Mo below. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. Lin Mo¡¯s face showed no fear. He raised his sword and pointed it at the sky. The Devouring God Body Domain spread out, and the spiritual qi of the huge axe was continuously absorbed. With the Devouring God Body¡¯s ability, Lin Mo ignored this attack. His long sword shattered the symbols, and his body rushed forward, slashing toward Jin Lie. ¡°Clang!¡± When the Ancient Sword of Desolation was blocked, a faint light appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s palm. The dense aura of flames exploded, like a blazing sun that bloomed in his palm. ¡°Rumble.¡± A golden long spear appeared out of nowhere and fiercely struck the blazing sun. As the two collided, the surrounding mountains crumbled and the earth cracked. Layers of magma actually surged out from beneath, condensed from spiritual energy. Lin Mo¡¯s aura exploded, triggering the underground magma to attack Jin Lie. The latter was not afraid either. Knowing that Lin Mo was not easy to deal with, he was already prepared. The magical artifact on his body blocked the magma attack. At the same time, Jin Lie held the golden long spear in his right hand and swept it continuously. Spear shadows surged in the air, carrying a powerful and terrifying spear intent. The quality of this long spear even surpassed that of the Ancient Sword of Desolation. The sword rays clashed with it many times and eventually started falling behind. This was the foundation of the imperial family. If Lin Mo had stayed in the imperial city and participated in some activities¡­ Perhaps Jiang Xiyue would be able to find such a magical artifact for him. However, it was not possible now. Lin Mo could only passively defend and was gradually surrounded by the surrounding spear shadows. This made Lin Mo slightly surprised. Jin Lie¡¯s combat strength was indeed extraordinary. Knowing that his God Devouring Body domain could absorb spiritual energy, he did not engage in close combat with Jin Lie. Instead, he used the spear shadows surrounding Jin Lie. Such a person had rich battle experience. It was hard to imagine what kind of battle prowess the stronger crown prince had. ¡°I originally wanted to play with you more, but unfortunately, I¡¯m in a hurry,¡± Lin Mo said. Bai Luo¡¯s spirit array could not hold on for long. He had to end the battle quickly. ¡°Why? Don¡¯t tell me you want to escape?¡±Jin Lie¡¯s expression was calm as he looked at Lin Mo mockingly. Although he did not know what method Lin Mo had used to lure the large group of people away, none of this was important. Once the time was up, Lin Mo would definitely die. ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t even think about making me fight to the death with you. This is a battlefield, and it¡¯s incomparably cruel. I only need to stall for a moment, and you¡¯ll die without a doubt.¡± Jin Lie mocked, not giving Lin Mo a chance. The spear shadows filled the sky, completely sealing the area. Many symbols covered the sky, pressing down. At this moment, Lin Mo was trapped below, and it was hard for him to break through. The God Devouring Body¡¯s domain could not hold on any longer. ¡°Die!¡± Jin Lie shouted, his eyes bursting with killing intent. He jumped into the air, and the golden spear spun in his hand before he threw it out. A rainbow fell from the sky, bringing with it astonishing pressure. At the same time, Jin Lie had also prepared a killing move. The symbols on his palms flickered, releasing an even stronger wave of energy as he dove down. A double-layered killing move. This was the strongest attack that Jin Lie could unleash within a short period of time. Lin Mo¡¯s hands emitted a fiery light as the image of avermillion bird revolved around him. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame spread out, supporting the body of the Ancient Sword of Desolation. At this moment, sword qi soared into the heavens, It erupting from Lin Mo¡¯s body and instantly shattering the spear phantom image. Divine Flames spread from every part of his body and adhered to the sword qi. This place instantly turned into a sea of fire. The Sword Qi moved unhindered and the world shook. Even the void trembled slightly. Lin Mo used the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits and hid the Vermillion Bird¡¯s Aura. Although its power was greatly reduced, it could not be underestimated. In this instant, Lin Mo and Jin Lie¡¯s exchange had already lasted for more than ten rounds. The sword qi moved unhindered and the spear shadow shook the sky. The wind and clouds shook, and bursts of explosions rang out in mid-air, dazzling and eye-catching. ¡°Rumble.¡± The golden spear was very impressive, and its quality was at least at the seventh tier of the spirit grade. It could be seen how much the crown prince valued Jin Lie. On the other hand, Lin Mo¡¯s Cloud Piercing Four Spirits was even more powerful. Divine flames filled the sky and attached to the sword qi, its offensive power was unparalleled. ¡°Golden Dragon Sky Roaring Technique!¡± Jin Lie let out a long cry, and in the blink of an eye, a dragon appeared behind him, shining brilliantly. ¡°Roar!¡± The moment the flood dragon appeared, Jin Lie attacked Lin Mo. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame appeared around Lin Mo, one after another, resisting the pressure of the golden dragon. ¡°Boom!¡± Flames burst out from Lin Mo¡¯s body, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame burst out with a dazzling attack to destroy the power of the golden dragon. However, he was surprised to find that the energy of the golden flood dragon was very strange. After it was destroyed, it was condensed again. Moreover, it could resist the Devouring God Body. Seeing this, Lin Mo calmed down. His Soul Devouring Art was fully activated. Layers of black light spread from his Dantian. This was the way the Soul Devouring Art Stood, devouring the sky and the Earth. With the support of the Soul Devouring Art, the devouring God Body became even stronger, devouring everything. ¡°Crack.¡± The vortex was formed. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the middle of the vortex. This place was like a black hole, devouring everything. In less than ten seconds, the golden dragon¡¯s power dissipated, and it was completely devoured by the God Devouring Body. It did not have any power to escape. Lin Mo kept the God Devouring Body, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flames were ignited again, attacking Jin Lie. This gave him a big shock. The golden dragon¡¯s heaven roaring art could be said to be a very powerful move. Although the attack power was a little weak, it was the best way to trap people. In the past, it had always been successful. Not to mention those of the same level, even those of a higher level would not be able to escape. This failure had surprised him. Lin Mo¡¯s strength had exceeded his expectations. ¡°The golden dragon has appeared, the body of the golden dragon.¡± Jin lie roared furiously. The golden dragon image that had just dispersed appeared once again. In the next moment, it actually descended from the sky and charged at Jin Lie¡¯s head. In the next moment, the golden flood dragon¡¯s strength soared. Jin Lie, who was originally only at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, had now reached tier 26. Not only that, there was also an extremely dense and powerful force on the golden flood dragon¡¯s body. It was extremely terrifying. Lin Mo was greatly shocked. He did not expect that Jin Lie had such a move that could raise his strength by one level. This was incredible. The strength of this technique was at least at the seventh or even eight tier of the spirit rank¡­ Chapter 319 - Suppression By Force He had no choice but to take this seriously. The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open as he searched for an opportunity. There was not much time left. That group of experts would arrive soon. He had to end this battle as soon as possible. Relying on the Kun Peng Wings, Lin Mo fought, searching for an opportunity. In such an intense battle between the two of them, the ground was filled with devastation. Jin Lie had even used his cultivation technique to increase his strength by one rank. However, due to the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual energy had remained at its peak, and the two of them were still evenly matched. In the end, Lin Mo seized the opportunity to use the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame beat Jin Lie back to his original state. In reality, this move of his could not last for long, because maintaining it required a lot of spiritual energy, and the burden on the soul was also very great. Therefore, after receiving Lin Mo¡¯s attack, he had no choice but to withdraw from this state. Jin Lie¡¯s expression was grave. He did not expect Lin Mo to be so difficult to deal with. The spiritual energy in his body was like a bottomless abyss, and there was no sign of depletion at all. ¡°I can¡¯t fight for much longer¡­¡± He muttered in his heart. The soldiers at the rear had long been frightened by Lin Mo¡¯s imposing manner and could not participate in the battle. Now, he no longer wanted to kill Lin Mo. instead, he wanted to stall Lin Mo. He did not believe that the experts who were chasing after Lin Mo would be killed. That was impossible. There were so many Nirvana Realm experts, unless they had all encountered something fatal. However, he was familiar with the surrounding areas. There were no traps anywhere, and there were no powerful demonic beasts. Lin Mo knew that he could not stall any longer. His attacks became more and more agile. Jin Lie struggled to hold on. The spiritual energy in his body was being consumed more and more, and the pressure within him was gradually increasing. Under Lin Mo¡¯s feet, a wisp of purple light faintly appeared, but under the cover of the flames, it was barely noticeable. However, Jin Lie¡¯s soul was sharp, and he could sense that Lin Mo had become even more dangerous. The flames spread, and Lin Mo unleashed his full strength. The two archaic divine beast spells were unleashed at the same time, and even Lin Mo felt the pressure, his face somewhat pale. ¡°Could this be an earth-rank martial art?¡± Jin Lie asked, his expression grave. He felt that Lin Mo¡¯s technique was too powerful, suppressing a spirit-grade martial art. They were clearly on the same level, but he was being suppressed in all directions. ¡°Take a gander.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. The Kun Peng Wings flapped, carrying the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame as it attacked. ¡°Bang.¡± This attack instantly caused Jin Lie to be heavily injured. Lin Mo Sighed, missing the best opportunity. The Qilin Steps incomplete technique required one to take four steps in order to unleash its strongest power. However, Jin lie had attacked in advance and used his martial arts. Lin Mo was only able to take two steps before he had no choice but to launch an attack. However, even so, Jin lie was still injured. His chest was split open and fresh blood flowed out. ¡°Summon, Golden Dragon Aspect.¡± Jin Lie roared and executed his strongest killing move. At the same time, he took out a golden spirit pill and swallowed it. His body suddenly doubled in size. What he swallowed was a spirit pill refined from the golden flood dragon¡¯s diluted blood essence. At the critical moment, he could unleash the strongest attack of the golden flood dragon¡¯s Heaven Roaring Mantra. In an instant, a golden flood dragon appeared in front of Jin Lie. Its scales were vivid and lifelike, as if a golden flood dragon had come alive. ¡°Roar.¡± The golden dragon roared and clawed at Lin Mo. it was invincible and easily passed through Lin Mo¡¯s domain. Lin Mo used the Ancient Sword of Desolation to meet the attack, but he was sent flying at the next moment. This move was too powerful. Jin Lie¡¯s explosive attack had already surpassed Lin Mo¡¯s, making it difficult for him to block it. The two of them engaged in a terrifying battle, expanding the battlefield. The surrounding people had no choice but to retreat again. In less than a minute, Jin lie and Lin Mo had exchanged 100 attacks, creating a huge commotion. Jin Lie was worthy of his title as a peerless genius. In the future, he might become the number one general of the Yanhuang Divine Empire and conquer all the lands. After a round of battle, the two of them retreated. Both of them were panting as Lin Mo faced the sky and let out a long roar. ¡°Haha, Awesome!¡± He laughed out loud and was about to say something when his soul power suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation. Behind him, on the horizon, a few figures were rushing over. They were Nirvana Realm experts. ¡°Let¡¯s finish this battle quickly.¡± Lin Mo whispered. He waved his hand and threw out several spiritual lights, emitting a pure aura. ¡°What are you up to?¡± Jin Lie¡¯s eyes were puzzled. What Lin Mo threw out were spiritual pills. Among them, two were spirit grade. They were very precious. ¡°Explode!¡± Following Lin Mo¡¯s low shout, the spiritual power attached to the spiritual pills exploded, along with the spiritual pills. Powerful and pure spiritual energy undulations spread out, instantly engulfing the two. ¡°This is my final attack. If you can take it, then it will be considered it my loss.¡± Lin Mo sneered. In the next instant, a terrifying aura spread out from his body. The Kun Peng Wings were retracted, and a Vermilion Bird Phantom slowly appeared behind him. The pressure of an archaic divine beast spread out, extremely terrifying. ¡°Ruthless!¡± The Vermilion Bird howled towards the sky, and its body carried a hazy and terrifying aura. At this moment, the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame spread out without any concealment, burning the surrounding space until it became deformed. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ A Vermilion Bird?¡± Jin Lie¡¯s eyes focused, and his hair stood on end. He actually did not fight and fled, wanting to escape from this place. When he turned around, he was shocked to realize that the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame had already surrounded this place. In the next moment, the Vermilion Bird Phantom was struck out by Lin Mo, flying towards him. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± The sky and earth shook, and space instantly shattered. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame¡¯s attack was too terrifying, and its temperature rose rapidly. When this attack was launched, Lin Mo felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and his devouring God body crazily absorbed the surrounding spiritual qi. The battle had already reached this stage, and it was already over. Although Jin lie was hiding inside the golden flood dragon illusion, compared to the Vermilion Bird, this illusion was like a firefly and a bright moon. The flames melted Jin Lie¡¯s body, and a wisp of flame penetrated Jin Lie¡¯s forehead and burned his soul. Lin Mo rushed over immediately and said, ¡°You¡¯re very strong, but I¡¯m stronger¡­¡± A golden ring fell off Jin Lie¡¯s finger and was put away by Lin Mo before it was covered by the flames. The flames completely erupted and enveloped Jin Lie¡¯s body. The pure spiritual energy formed from the self-detonation of several spirit pills engulfed everything, no one else knew what had happened inside. When the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame was extinguished and the spiritual energy was devoured by the God Devouring Body, Jin Lie had already turned into a pile of ashes. ¡°What, Lord Jin Lie?¡± Someone shouted loudly. The group of soldiers in front became even more uneasy and rushed forward. Jin Lie had died here. With the crown prince¡¯s temperament, they would not have much of a chance of coming out unscathed¡­ However, although their realms were higher, they were not Lin Mo¡¯s match. ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re courting death.¡± An angry roar came from behind. An old man¡¯s eyes were about to split open. The golden light in his hand flickered as he charged towards Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to delay. The Kun Peng Wings appeared and flames covered it, killing the group of soldiers charging towards them. As the figures were strewn, when the Nirvana Realm expert rushed over, these people had already been slaughtered by Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, so this is the eighth place on the Yanhuang Board of Fame. It¡¯s just so-so.¡± Lin Mo threw his head back and laughed loudly. He waved the ring in his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take this.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo turned around and left. Chapter 320 - Change the Rules ¡°Roar.¡± In the distance, a few figures rushed over and let out furious roars. Several Nirvana Realm powerhouses appeared. However, Lin Mo spread his Kun Peng Wings and had long disappeared. He only left behind a sentence that reverberated between heaven and earth. ¡°You¡¯re too late, Haha¡­¡± These people wanted to chase after him, but Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings were too fast and they could not catch up at all. These people looked at the mess on the ground and roared again. They knew that they had been deceived, but they were helpless. ¡°How could this be?¡± These people were furious. This was the eighth genius on the Yan Huang Board of Fame, the future of the royal family, and the right-hand man of the crown prince. Now that they had failed to protect him and let him be killed, even a nirvana realm powerhouse would be punished. ¡°Eh, Bai Luo¡¯s aura?¡± After leaving the battlefield, Lin Mo followed the aura of the Origin Spirit Puppet to search for Qing Xi. However, he found Bai Luo¡¯s aura nearby. The two of them had cultivated the resonance of their divine senses and were very familiar with each other¡¯s aura. After searching for a while, he dug a thousand meters deep under a mountain peak and finally found a wooden box. ¡°The patterns of the dutian god-slaying formation!¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He did not expect Bai Luo to be able to comprehend some of the patterns of the dutian god-slaying formation after not seeing him for such a long time. Using the god-devouring body, Lin Mo quickly opened it. Although he was not familiar with the dutian god-slaying formation, with the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo was still able to unlock some of the incomplete runes. In the box was a silver-white rune. One look and one could tell that it was not expensive. ¡°A spirit-grade spatial teleportation rune.¡± Lin Mo whispered and injected spiritual energy into it. The rune immediately burst out with a silver light and started to burn. In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared. After a dizzying spatial teleportation, he arrived at a place. ¡°Wow, Dragon Transformation tier 25. That¡¯s pretty fast.¡± Lin Mo had just teleported when Bai Luo¡¯s lazy voice was heard, followed by a wisp of a certain fragrance. He opened his eyes and found himself in a valley. Bai Luo and Qing Xi were sitting on a pile of rocks, eating a barbecue¡­ In the bonfire in front of them, there was a two-meter-long bird wing. There were many spirit herbs placed on it, and it was roasted until it was golden and shiny. Lin Mo¡¯s eyelids twitched when he saw this scene, and he said angrily in the end. ¡°I was fighting to death outside, and you guys are eating a barbecue here? Isn¡¯t this too much?¡± He was indignant and walked over to sit down. He grabbed Bai Luo¡¯s freshly roasted meat jerky and started to eat it. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t be so agitated. Didn¡¯t I leave some for you?¡± Bai Luo was not angry. He took out a bowl and chopsticks from the bracelet on his wrist and placed them in front of Lin Mo. He took out a jar of wine and filled it up for Lin Mo. Bai Luo smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. These are the wings of the Spiritual Fire Sky Roc. They were especially left for you. Try It.¡± Bai Luo was very generous. She broke the roasted wings into two halves and passed the extra piece to Lin Mo. she also started to eat in large mouthfuls, not caring about her image at all. ¡°Mmm¡­ It¡¯s delicious.¡± Seeing how she was enjoying herself, Lin Mo¡¯s appetite was aroused. He drank a cup of wine and started to eat as well. ¡°When did you come?¡± As he ate, Lin Mo opened his mouth and asked. He had to admit that Bai Luo¡¯s cooking skills were really not bad. These wings were roasted really fragrant¡­ ¡°A day ago, we were waiting after setting up the formation. You guys are too slow.¡± Bai Luo said. There were several times when she was bored and wanted to kill Jin Lie, but she was worried that she would disrupt Lin Mo¡¯s plan. She tore off a large piece of meat and ate it. She said, ¡°If I knew you wanted to kill Jin Lie, I would have made the first move.¡± Lin Mo did not doubt this. Although Jin Lie had many Nirvana Realm powerhouses guarding him, it should not be difficult for Bai Luo to kill him. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to leave quickly?¡± Looking at Lin Mo and Bai Luo who were eating and drinking, Qing Xi asked weakly. This was still the border of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It was very likely that the pursuers would discover this place. And these two actually still had the mood to eat and drink and chat¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine. As long as it¡¯s not someone from the third sky of Nirvana Realm, we can escape.¡± Lin Mo said. Bai Luo also had an indifferent look on her face. She did not care about the so-called Yanhuang Divine dynasty at all. ¡°Oh right, this Jin Lie¡¯s interspatial ring has quite a few treasures in it. Do you guys want some?¡± Lin Mo said as he took a sip of wine and casually took the roasted meat from the side. ¡°Don¡¯t snatch it, roast it yourself.¡± Bai Luo was very displeased. She snatched it over and then pushed a pile of raw meat over. ¡°This spear is not bad, it suits you very well.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he took out a golden spear from his interspatial ring. ¡°Flood Dragon Spear, spirit tier 8, contains a drop of golden flood dragon blood essence, its combat strength is unparalleled. As per the old rules, do you want it?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The identity of this item was very sensitive, it was Jin Lie¡¯s spear. If he were to take it back to auction, he would be exposed. With Bai Luo, this little rich lady present, he naturally wouldn¡¯t let go of this opportunity. ¡°No, you¡¯re trying to scam me of spirit stones, you can¡¯t follow the old rules.¡± Bai Luo bit down on a piece of roasted meat and said vaguely. In the past, she had made an agreement with Lin Mo. as long as she was the one bidding for his auction items, she would give him a 20% discount on all the treasures. ¡°20% discount seems like you¡¯re not generous enough. No matter what, you have to give me a 30% discount¡­¡± Bai Luo said, wanting to change the rules. ¡°Then I¡¯ll suffer a loss. Do you know how expensive this spear is?¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes. This girl was really stingy. ¡°If you want to calculate it this way, do you know how expensive this wine is? Give me the money for the wine.¡± Bai Luo did not give in and pointed at the wine that Lin Mo was drinking. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Qing Xi watched Lin Mo and Bai Luo argue and covered her mouth as she laughed. Who would have thought that two people who were enough to cause a commotion in the Yanhuang Divine Empire would actually be calculative about the discount and the money for the wine¡­ In the end, Lin Mo still compromised and gave Bai Luo a 30% discount. Moreover, it was said to be an auction, but Qing Xi obviously would not participate in the auction. As such, Bai Luo only spent 700,000 mid-grade spirit stones to bid for the Flood Dragon Spear. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the spirit tier 8 magic tool, Flood Dragon Spear ] [ Successfully triggered 2,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations to host for successfully obtaining the spirit tier 9 magic tool, Shadow Dragon Spear ] A spirit tier 9 magic tool, a spear, was worth quite a bit. If it were to be auctioned off, it would cost at least 3 to 4 million mid-grade spirit stones. ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s another cultivation technique, a spirit tier 8 ¡®Golden Dragon¡¯s Roar Heavenly Art¡¯. It has a set of martial arts, a spirit rank 7 ¡®spear like a dragon¡¯.¡± Lin Mo took out two more scrolls. They were the cultivation technique and martial arts that Jin Lie cultivated. It was a pity that he could not find the secret technique to raise his cultivation. He reckoned that it should be in the Heavenly King¡¯s mansion, so he probably would not have the chance to obtain it. ¡°The martial technique is not bad, but the cultivation technique is not that good.¡± Bai Luo took it and looked at it before giving his evaluation. ¡°The person who created this cultivation technique must have seen some of the true dragon¡¯s symbols or dao principles and wanted to comprehend the true dragon technique. Unfortunately, he did not succeed and managed to comprehend half of it. Hence, he named it the Golden Dragon¡­¡± Bai Luo shook his head. Unfortunately, if that person had seen more true dragon symbols, the potential of this cultivation technique would have been even greater. Chapter 321 - Total Victory ¡°It¡¯s just so-so. I can give it to Qing Xi to cultivate temporarily. It just so happens that you don¡¯t have a high-tier cultivation technique.¡± After Bai Luo finished commenting, he asked Qing Xi to accept it. ¡°Ah, for me?¡± Qing Xi was stunned. She had thought that she would not get any of these treasures. After all, it was already a heaven-sent opportunity for her to be taken in by Bai Luo. ¡°It¡¯s already so much for you to take me in. I don¡¯t dare to be greedy,¡± Qing Xi said while shaking her head. ¡°Since you¡¯ve decided to follow me, I naturally won¡¯t mistreat you,¡± Bai Luo said, indicating that there were many benefits to be gained from following him. He had all the resources and spirit stones he needed. ¡°Thank you very much¡­¡± Qing Xi was extremely grateful as she took the two scrolls. ¡°That¡¯s what I wanted. Don¡¯t be like a certain idiot, thinking too highly of yourself, You big idiot.¡± Bai Luo said in satisfaction. When he nodded, he did not forget to mock Lin Mo. ¡°Sigh, don¡¯t use personal attacks on me, how could I be stupid?¡± Lin Mo pretended to be angry. ¡°¡­¡± [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit tier 8 cultivation technique, golden wyrm howling heavens technique ] [ Successfully triggered the 5,000 times auction profit ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the tier 9 spirit class martial art, Fake Dragon Technique ] A tier 9 spirit class martial art with a dragon in its name, one could see how extraordinary it was. However, this name was indeed a little inelegant, he felt that removing this fake character might be better. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the tier 7 spirit class martial art, spear like a dragon ] [ Successful triggering of 100 times auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the tier 7 spirit rank martial art, flood dragon out to sea ] Only 100 times. Lin Mo was helpless. His luck was indeed a little bad, but luckily it was not a sword technique martial art. Otherwise, he would have been depressed. If he kept it for auction in the imperial city, it could be used as a finale treasure. ¡°Hehe, there are still some ordinary ones here. It¡¯s not easy for me to sell them off, you can take them all.¡± Lin Mo smiled, his smile was very cheap. Bai Luo gave him the middle finger in disdain. ¡°Hmph, if I find out that you¡¯ve joined another faction in the future, you¡¯ll be dead for sure.¡± Bai Luo said viciously, taking all the treasures that Lin Mo had auctioned off this time. She threw out a spatial bag, and Lin Mo opened it. There were a total of 400 high-grade spirit stones, and they were of high quality. ¡°Take the rest as a tip, I¡¯ll reward you.¡± Bai Luo said with a proud expression. She knew that Lin Mo had a God Devouring Body and needed a large amount of spirit stones to grow. This could be considered as helping him out¡­ ¡°Hehe, thanks a lot¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely happy. He did not think that killing Jin Lie would allow him to earn so much. He did not mind having more business like this. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning it¡­ ] A system notification sounded out. All of them had successfully auctioned it off in the real world and received a rebate. There was even a panacea that had triggered a 10,000 times rebate, but it was only a tier 9 panacea. This made Lin Mo a little disappointed. If he had triggered a 10,000 times spiritual artifact or cultivation technique in the beginning, he would have been able to obtain an Earth rank auction item¡­ ¡°Oh right, you want to give this true dragon bloodline to Jiang Xiyue, right?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you have any suggestions?¡± Lin Mo nodded and humbly asked Bai Luo. The two ate roasted meat and chatted while drinking. Lin Mo also understood the mysteries of the true dragon bloodline. ¡°You guys have seriously underestimated this lump of true dragon bloodline. Its value is unimaginable.¡± Bai Luo said. However, she did not know how to operate it. She only gave Lin Mo an ancient method that could fuse with a special bloodline. Unfortunately, it was incomplete and the most crucial part was missing. It could only be used as a reference. ¡°There isn¡¯t any danger, but if the fusion isn¡¯t right, it will cause the true dragon bloodline to dissipate.¡± Bai Luo warned. If they were not completely confident, it was best to put it away first. The three of them ate the barbecue for an entire day, and in the end, they were all drunk. They collapsed on the ground, and the pure spiritual qi in their bodies surged. ¡°Phew, it¡¯s a pity that Lil¡¯ Die isn¡¯t here, or else I would have taken her away.¡± Bai Luo said drunkenly. Even though she was drunk, she didn¡¯t forget her original intention. She wanted to think of a way to abduct Lin Die. In the formation, Lin Mo and Bai Luo said goodbye. They had a premonition that a Nirvana Realm powerhouse was passing by, they were almost discovered. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I don¡¯t know when we¡¯ll meet again. Take good care of Lil¡¯ Die. If you feel that you¡¯re in real danger, crush this jade. I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up.¡± Before he left, Bai Luo handed a jade talisman to Lin Mo. It contained her aura and was a way to contact her. Obviously, even if Lin Mo killed Jin Lie, she did not think that Lin Mo could walk out of the Eastern Continent on his own. It would be hard for him to cultivate the God Devouring Body because he did not have enough resources. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll come to you personally.¡± Lin Mo smiled. ¡°I hope so.¡± After bidding farewell, Bai Luo opened the formation and gave Lin Mo a spatial talisman, telling him to leave. She also brought Qing Xi and used the spatial talisman to directly cross the void and leave the Yanhuang dynasty. ¡°Mission completed, it¡¯s time to go back.¡± Lin Mo stretched his back. He originally wanted to save a spatial talisman. After all, the things Bai Luo gave him did not have any defective items. However, it was clear that Jin Lie¡¯s death had enraged the crown prince¡¯s henchmen, especially the Heavenly King Manor. They had sent out many experts to search the boundless mountain range in order to find Lin Mo. . Seeing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to use the spatial talisman and leave this area. A spirit rank spatial talisman was already equivalent to a small-scale teleportation formation, bringing him across 400,000 to 500,000 li. When Lin Mo appeared from the void, he realized that he was within the Qing Huai Holy Land¡¯s sphere of influence. He also heard rumors that the crown prince had made a mistake in his judgment and mistakenly trusted the evil cultivator, forcing the Qing Huai Holy Land¡¯s holy woman away. The eighth prince was very observant and understood the evil cultivator¡¯s tricks. He presented the evidence and invited level five torturer Luo Haoyu to kill the evil cultivator. With the help of the previous eldest disciple of the Qing Huai Holy Land, they broke through the Qing Huai Holy Land¡¯s mountain protection array and annihilated hundreds of evil cultivators. At the same time, the previous sect master of the Qinghuai Holy Land, Qing Shi, was rescued and identified as a guest beside the crown prince as an evil cultivator. After verification, the crown prince was deceived by the evil cultivator and forced away the holy maiden of the Qingxi Holy Land. Now, the emperor who had come out of seclusion had grounded him in the eastern palace. Yan Rong, who had contributed greatly, was given a spirit grade level six magic tool and a position as the guard of the imperial city. He led a team of ten people and was responsible for protecting the safety of the Purple Moon Palace in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s bedroom. ¡°I heard that the eighth prince was feminine and was suspected to be a woman. I didn¡¯t expect him to be a woman. It¡¯s the eighth princess¡­¡± ¡°Fortunately, the eighth princess was very observant and saved the Qinghuai Holy Land.¡± ¡°We, the small forces that rely on the Qinghuai Holy Land, have finally stabilized.¡± Lin Mo walked on the street of a city and listened to the discussions of passers-by. He nodded slightly. ¡°Brother, from your conversation, even Yan Rong can receive such a reward. I wonder what reward the eighth princess will receive?¡± Lin Mo stepped forward and asked curiously. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you actually don¡¯t know? This is a major event that has shaken the Yanhuang Divine Empire.¡± These people were shocked. They did not expect that there would be people in the Qinghuai Holy Land who didn¡¯t know about such a sensational event. ¡°I¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation for half a year. I just came out of it. Didn¡¯t I miss it?¡± Lin Mo smiled and humbly asked everyone to clarify his doubts. Chapter 322 - Farewell to Jiang Xiyue ¡°The eighth prince has received his majesty¡¯s recognition. He has received a personal army of a thousand people, led by five Nirvana Realm powerhouses.¡± ¡°Yeah, such an army can even attack the Holy Land¡­¡± Some people were extremely excited and kept discussing. However, when they heard this, Lin Mo immediately became dissatisfied. ¡°This dog emperor is so biased¡­¡± Lin Mo cursed in his heart. If the crown prince and Jiang Xiyue exchanged their identities, Jiang Xiyue would probably be executed¡­ On the other hand, the crown prince directly established his authority. His position was even more stable and he had all sorts of resources¡­ It looked like he had been rewarded an army, but who knew how many spies were planted in this army? On the surface, they were protecting Jiang Xiyue, but they were secretly spying on her. It was really disgraceful¡­ Moreover, this army might not necessarily listen to Jiang Xiyue¡¯s words¡­ ¡°Only an army?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°There¡¯s still one million middle-grade spirit stones, a number of cultivation techniques and martial arts, and countless elixirs.¡± These people said, but these people were not above the level of a spirit-grade 5. Compared to the army, they were a little lacking. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s better to have them than not to have them¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. It seemed like Jiang Xiyue was not liked by the people because she was a woman. Moreover, with these treasures, Jiang Xiyue could legitimately advance. In addition to his own auction system, he could increase the value of these treasures by more than ten times¡­ After staying in the Qinghuai Holy Land for a few days, Lin Mo felt bored and left. After a few days of traveling, he finally arrived at the Imperial City and was shocked by the prosperity of this place. He was recognized as soon as he arrived here and caused quite a stir. The various families in the imperial city sent out invitations one after another to invite Lin Mo over as a guest. Some of the young people also looked at Lin Mo with unconvinced eyes. After a round of questioning, Lin Mo finally discovered the problem. It turned out that it was the death of the eighth-ranked person on the Yanhuang Board of Fame, Jin Lie. His position was vacated and Lin Mo¡¯s name was written down by the emperor. This caused Lin Mo¡¯s reputation to soar. Even before he came to the imperial city, there were already countless young geniuses who wanted to challenge him. ¡°Young friend, are you willing to marry into our Gu family? The eldest and second young misses of our Gu family are currently looking for a husband.¡± ¡°Young friend, have you ever been married? This old man has a daughter, she¡¯s 20 years old¡­¡± Lin Mo was surrounded. It was not easy for him to break free, but he was once again blocked by two young girls. ¡°Qing Wen Qing Wu.¡± He was overjoyed. His savior had finally arrived. He did not expect his reputation to be so great¡­ ¡°Palace head wants to see you. Come with us.¡± Qing Wen chuckled and said as she looked at the somewhat disheveled Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s better to follow your orders.¡± Lin Mo nodded and left with Qing Wen and Qing Wu. The people behind him were unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. After passing through the streets of the imperial city, they finally arrived at the imperial palace. Under Qing Wenqingwu¡¯s lead, they arrived at the Purple Moon Palace. It was more like a paradise than a palace. The imperial palace was too big, and so was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s territory. Putting aside the numerous palaces, there were countless mountains and rivers, and one could not see the end of them. ¡°Lin Mo!¡± Through the teleportation array, Lin Mo arrived at the core of the palace. Jiang Xiyue had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Lin Mo appear, a smile appeared on her face. ¡°We meet again¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, his heart filled with joy. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s bedroom was very big. There were array formations set up on top of it. There were cultivation, defense, attack, and even teleportation formations. ¡°Such spiritual energy. It¡¯s a hundred times more than the outside world¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. was this Jiang Xiyue¡¯s territory. If he had been born here, he basically would not have to worry about the God Devouring Body. The surrounding spiritual energy would be enough it to devour. ¡°Are you surprised?¡± Jiang Xiyue laughed softly and held Lin Mo¡¯s hand naturally. She flew up with her and looked down. ¡°I¡¯ll show you around.¡± In Jiang Xiyue¡¯s territory, the land was vast and the people were few. Only when they passed by some mountains and rivers could they detect some people below. Some people lived here and did not have to worry about food and clothing. Some were even ordinary people. Lin Mo was surprised. Why were there still ordinary people living in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s territory? ¡°These are some of my hangers-on and my family members. Most of them are itinerant cultivators. Since they work for me, I have to protect their relatives¡¯ safety,¡± Jiang Xiyue explained. Some of the surrounding mountains were as high as 30,000 feet. Jiang Xiyue led Lin Mo up a mountain peak. On the mountain peak, Lin Mo saw a few familiar faces. ¡°Senior Luo, Lil¡¯ Die?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. Could it be that Luo Haoyu saw Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s extraordinary talent and wanted to teach her? This was a good thing. Lin Mo had not seen through Luo Haoyu¡¯s strength yet. It was not bad to be able to teach Lil¡¯ Die. ¡°Brother.¡± Lil¡± Die had a bitter expression on her face. She was using her finger to carve something on a jade talisman. When she saw Lin Mo walking over, she was instantly overjoyed. She jogged over and hugged Lin Mo¡¯s thigh tightly, unwilling to let go. ¡°Elder Luo.¡± Jiang Xiyue bowed slightly and greeted Luo Haoyu. ¡°Your Highness, the inscription of the ¡®Tai Yu spirit nurturing technique is nearing its end. You will be able to practice it in a few days.¡± Luo Haoyu said with a smile. When Yan Rong and Lin Die brought the Ancient Flame Sect¡¯s inheritance runes over, they were both very surprised. They did not expect that the best inheritance in the Ancient Alame Ruins would actually be secretly obtained by Lin Mo. . ¡°Big Brother, under senior Luo¡¯s guidance, Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s strength has also improved.¡± Lin Die chuckled. Her small face was filled with an expression of wanting to be praised, and Jiang Xiyue liked it very much. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die is great. Work hard for a few more days, and then you can rest,¡± Jiang Xiyue encouraged. However, when she heard that she was going to engrave the runes of the ¡°Taiyu recuperation technique¡± again, her little face instantly fell. ¡°Got it¡­¡± Lin Die said pitifully. Her little mouth twitched, and she looked like she was going to cry. ¡°This will also help strengthen your soul power¡­¡± Luo Haoyu said earnestly. He was very satisfied with Lin Die and wanted to take her as a disciple. However, this little girl refused to acknowledge him as her master, and she did not want to engrave the runes in the beginning. ¡°She found it troublesome and wanted to resonate with my divine sense. She presented her memories to me without any defenses at all¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said helplessly. Ever since Yan Rong told Lin Die about her relationship with Lin Mo, the little girl seemed to understand and believe her. After that, she said everything, scaring everyone. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t she resonate with her divine sense? Why did she have to inscribe runes?¡± Lin Mo asked. She was a tier 9 earth rank. It would take some time for her to inscribe runes. However, it would not be so easy to inscribe an incomplete technique from an archaic divine beast. With their current strength, they would not be able to learn it without using their divine sense to resonate with their opponents¡¯ memories. ¡°It won¡¯t work. My soul is recorded in the imperial mausoleum. Whoever looks at my memories will be able to see it.¡± ¡°And when that time comes, Lil¡¯ Die will be chased down¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. Although she wanted the archaic divine beast¡¯s technique, she could only stop at the sight of it¡­ ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. If that was the case, then Jiang Xiyue would have no fate with the Kun Peng Wings and other divine abilities¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine. When you become stronger, you can carve it for me¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said indifferently. What she wanted now was the heaven-defying cultivation technique, the ¡®Taiyu divine nurturing technique¡¯. Chapter 323 - : The Powerful Jiang Xiyue Chapter 323: the powerful Jiang Xiyue ¡°Hey, where are you putting that hand?¡± Suddenly, a delicate shout was heard and a figure flew over from afar. It was Qianqian and Yan Rong was following behind her. Qianqian had just arrived and she looked at Lin Mo angrily. It was because Lin Mo¡¯s hand was holding Jiang Xiyue¡¯s jade-like hand¡­ ¡°Qianqian, how did you get here so quickly¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue blushed and let go of Lin Mo¡¯s hand. No one had mentioned it before, but now that she was exposed, she blushed¡­ ¡°Humph, you¡¯re already being rude to the palace master as soon as you arrived.¡± Qianqian looked at Lin Mo with hostility. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He looked at Jiang Xiyue and could only swallow the words that came out of his mouth. The beauty had taken the initiative to hold his hand. It would be unforgivable if he still tried to blame her. ¡°Master, you¡¯re finally here. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re safe¡­¡± Yan Rong half-knelt and bowed to Lin Mo. He had a smile on his face. The smile on his face had not stopped recently. He had gotten his revenge. Before the Qinghuai Holy Land was restored, they were still on good terms with the purple clouds Holy Land. The two holy lands even had a backer. All of this was because of Lin Mo¡­ ¡°We won this battle completely. We made the crown prince lose his prestige. It was awesome,¡± Yan Rong said excitedly as he described the battle. ¡°Oh, you did it yourself?¡± Lin Mo was stunned as he looked at Jiang Xiyue. He did not expect that she would actually do it herself. She had brought people to break into the Qinghuai Holy Land and take care of the evil cultivators¡­ ¡°You have to put on an act. Besides, I also want to stretch my legs,¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a chuckle. Moreover, the reason why she did this was to resonate with the forces in the territory and make them feel that she had made a great contribution. In this way, the Emperor had to make a choice. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the public. As for severely punishing the crown prince and heavily rewarding Jiang Xiyue, he chose a compromising method. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. Although the crown prince is grounded, he still has the right to supervise the country¡­¡± Luo Haoyu said. This was the most fatal thing. The crown prince¡¯s power was still very great, and it was difficult to resist. ¡°But in the short term, the crown prince can¡¯t make any moves.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. She was very satisfied with this result. ¡°What about the army? What are you going to do with them?¡± Lin Mo asked. The problematic army could not be allowed into her territory, or it would be too troublesome¡­ ¡°I broke them up and sent them away,¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a laugh. She was fond of doing business. Before she was recognized by the emperor, she had set up a chamber of commerce and traveled around the Yanhuang dynasty. This army was broken up by her and sent out to escort various chambers of commerce. Although it was a waste of talent, it was also put to good use¡­ ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about them. The Yue Xuan auction in the southern part of the Imperial City is my property. Do you want to take over?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. It had become a habit for Lin Mo to hold an auction wherever he went. Although she did not know why, she had already organized the auction house before this operation and was waiting for Lin Mo to come. ¡°That would be the best. I will help you sell those rewards that you don¡¯t need.¡± Lin Mo said. There was a ready-made auction, so he naturally would not miss it. After that, Jiang Xiyue brought Lin Mo to see the medicinal fields and mountains in the territory. There were many demonic beasts living there. A few of them were at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Their intelligence was very high, and they had the hope of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm. ¡°This is the center of the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s array formation. You can enter your soul imprint here, and you can walk freely here in the future.¡± Jiang Xiyue brought Lin Mo to the bottom of the Purple Moon Palace. There was a complicated array 100 meters below the ground. Following Jiang Xiyue¡¯s guidance, Lin Mo dripped a drop of blood and combined it with his soul power, fusing it into the center of the array formation. As soon as he fused with it, Lin Mo felt a different aura. The surrounding attack arrays that gave him terrifying pressure had completely disappeared. It was as if nothing existed. ¡°Alright, they should be here.¡± Jiang Xiyue left with Lin Mo. the two of them returned to the Purple Moon Palace. In the palace, Luo Haoyu and the others were already waiting for them. Apart from them, there were also a few other elders. They wore black clothes and sat on silver seats, looking extremely old. However, Lin Mo could sense an extremely powerful aura from their bodies. Every single one of them was an existence above the second sky of the Nirvana Realm¡­ ¡°Only the few of you?¡± Jiang Xiyue was stunned. Other than Luo Haoyu, there were only five Nirvana Realm experts here. These were all people that she had roped in over the years. Most of them were freelance martial artists that she had recruited¡­ ¡°Reporting to the palace master, some of them are out visiting friends while some are in seclusion. It¡¯s not convenient to disturb them,¡± An old man said. Jiang Xiyue nodded. Then, under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, she pulled Lin Mo to the front of the gilded gold throne in the middle and sat down together. ¡°This¡­¡± Everyone in the main hall was stunned. Many eyes looked at Lin Mo with hostility. ¡°Your Highness, what are you doing?¡± The old man who spoke first said. He had heard of the rumor that a young genius called Lin Mo had been recruited. However, they did not expect him to be recruited like this. How dare a young rogue cultivator at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm sit in the main seat? ¡°Lin Mo, you already know his identity, and he is my dao partner,¡± Jiang Xiyue said. As soon as she said this, the whole place was in an uproar, and their eyes were fixed on Lin Mo. This made Lin Mo helpless. At this moment, if looks could kill, he would probably die thousands of times¡­ ¡°This is a little unnecessary¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. Compared to showing his face in public, he preferred to be behind the scenes. However, he did not expect Jiang Xiyue to announce his status and identity as soon as she arrived¡­ In the main hall, Luo Haoyu stood up from his seat and half-kneeled as he said. ¡°Congratulations, palace master, for finding a dao partner!¡± Qianqian, Qing Wen Qing Wu, Yan Rong, and the others all stood up and knelt down. Lin Die, who had a curious look on her face, sat on her seat and looked around. However, Yan Rong pulled her down and squatted down so that she wouldnot attract attention. ¡°Palace Master, please think twice.¡± Another old man came forward and half-knelt down, asking Jiang Xiyue to take back her order. ¡°Please think twice, Palace Master.¡± It was not only this old man, but also the others. Almost half of them knelt down and asked Jiang Xiyue to take back her order. ¡°What¡¯s the reason?¡± Jiang Xiyue said indifferently. She was not annoyed. It was indeed a little difficult to make these people submit, but she believed that Lin Mo could do it. ¡°Palace mistress, although Lin Mo is a genius, he only took down Ancient Flame City. This kind of achievement is too small¡­¡± The surrounding people all agreed. If this was how he could gain the Palace Mistress¡¯ favor, then the Palace Mistress was too casual. ¡°Yan Rong brought Lin Die to the imperial city long ago. Do you know what Lin Mo has been doing during this period of time?¡± Jiang Xiyue said. ¡°May I ask, Palace Master, what other achievements does Lin mo have?¡± Someone asked. ¡°He was the one who escorted Saintess Qing Xi. In addition, he was also the one who killed Jin Lie,¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a faint smile. ¡°In addition, I¡¯m announcing my dao partner this time, not looking for a powerful minister. How can I talk about achievements?¡± Jiang Xiyue said angrily and slapped the gilded gold throne with her bare hands. At this moment, she looked like an empress¡­ Even Lin Mo was shocked. This was the first time Lin Mo had seen a queen like this¡­ He said to himself, ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m living off a woman¡­¡± Chapter 324 - The Treasury Was Stolen Hearing Jiang Xiyue¡¯s words, the faces of many people in the hall changed. Their eyes flickered, and no one knew what they were thinking. Seeing that no one was talking, Jiang Xiyue looked up at an old man. The man immediately stood up from his throne and bowed. Jiang Xiyue pointed at the old man and said, ¡°This is Tang Chen, the steward of the Yuexuan Auction.¡± After introducing him to Lin Mo, Jiang Xiyue asked, ¡°Elder Tang, how is the Yuexuan Auction Now?¡± ¡°Reporting to the palace master, the situation is not very good. From the moment you made your move, the other princes were all targeting you for no reason.¡± ¡°Last month, the net income from the Yue Xuan auction was only 10 million low-grade spirit stones. After giving it to the guards to cultivate, there was nothing left.¡± Tang Chen was a little hesitant. This was not even considered a profit. If this continued, the Yue Xuan auction would close in less than half a year. Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue looked at Lin Mo. the latter smiled and said, ¡°With me around, there¡¯s no need to worry.¡± He did not dare to say anything else. After all, there were quite a number of Nirvana Realm experts in the imperial city. As for this auction, he did not have any worries. Since he could manage it perfectly, Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t need to worry about the problem of the spiritual stones at all. Tang Chen was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Lin Mo with doubt in his eyes. However, after seeing the trust in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyes, he still didn¡¯t say anything. He naturally listened to the palace master¡¯s arrangements. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave the management of the Yue Xuan auction to you in the future.¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a smile. ¡°Elder Tang, Help Lin Mo. Trust him. He¡¯s worth it.¡± Jiang Xiyue continued to say, which made Lin Mo very surprised. To arrange a Nirvana Realm powerhouse to help him right from the start, if he could not achieve anything, wouldn¡¯t he lose face. Tang Chen did not look unhappy when he saw this. He just looked at Lin Mo and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. ¡°Elder Tang, is there anything you want to say?¡± Jiang Xiyue could not help but be curious when she saw this. Tang Chen was not the kind of person who enjoyed fame and fortune. As long as it was reasonable, he would agree to his arrangements¡­ ¡°I will follow the Palace Master¡¯s orders.¡± Tang Chen bowed and said. Then, he said with a bitter smile, ¡°The Palace Master didn¡¯t know that when we went to the Qinghuai Holy Land to clean up the evil cultivators, the blood evil mercenary group took advantage of the situation and plundered several batches of our business groups. ¡°There is the shadow of the seventh prince behind this. I didn¡¯t dare to act rashly, but all the people in the business groups have been killed, and the spiritual stones and resources have all been robbed.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s pretty face was filled with frost. She clenched her silver teeth. She had long known that someone would take advantage of the situation when she left with her people. She did not expect it to be so soon. ¡°The seventh prince, huh? Yuan Cang of the Yuan Yang Holy Land was killed by Lin Mo. it¡¯s normal for him to take revenge¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue muttered to herself. Without resources, even if Lin Mo was managing the business, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice¡­ Lin Mo sat beside her and frowned slightly. The business group had been taken away. This was not good news. ¡°I can solve the problem of resources,¡± Lin Mo said after thinking for a long time. Although there were many people who could spy on him in the Imperial City, with the profits from the auction, he basically would not lack treasures. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve always been curious about the origin of your treasures.¡± Jiang Xiyue laughed lightly. From the time she first came into contact with Lin Mo, she had been curious about the origin of Lin Mo¡¯s resources. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± She did not ask further. Everyone had their own secrets. In the future, when the time was ripe, Lin Mo would naturally tell her. After leaving some instructions, Jiang Xiyue dismissed everyone. At the same time, the news of Lin Mo becoming the new owner of the Yue Xuan auction spread. At the same time, Lin Mo also spread the news that the auction would be held three days later. Some precious treasures that he had obtained from the ancient flame ruins would be auctioned. She did not stay with Jiang Xiyue for long before she was summoned by the emperor. The two of them could only part ways. After that, Lin Mo and Tang Chen left the Purple Moon Palace and arrived at the headquarters of the Yue Xuan auction through the teleportation array. ¡°Elder Tang, what other items do you have in the warehouse of the Yue Xuan Auction?¡± Lin Mo looked at Tang Chen and asked. He was going to hold an auction three days later. With the ancient flame relic as the reason, many people would come. Some unsellable treasures could also be auctioned off. To him, even if they were auctioned off at the base price, it would still be a profit. Tang Chen looked at Lin Mo. there was a hint of confidence between this young man¡¯s brows. He had bragged about the development of the Yue Xuan auction and had even been able to suppress the crown prince in terms of resources¡­ He had doubts about such words because it was very unrealistic. One had to know that the crown prince could mobilize the national treasury. Although it wasn¡¯t much, it wasn¡¯t something that the crown prince could compare to¡­ However, although he was doubtful, he still brought Lin Mo to the warehouse of the Yuexuan auction house. The warehouse was very large, and there were many of them. Lin Mo first went to the medicinal field to check on the spirit herbs. The fragrance assailed his nostrils, and the fragrance of various spirit herbs filled the air, causing him to be intoxicated. ¡°How can there be so few?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was an auction house that could establish itself in the imperial city, and there was also Jiang Xiyue¡¯s business group collecting treasures all over the continent. Now, although the medicinal fragrance was still there, there were only a few stalks of spirit herbs left. The most precious one was only a first level spirit rank ice soul grass. Although it was precious, it was far from enough in the imperial city. ¡°What?¡± Tang Chen was shocked, because the situation in the warehouse was completely different from what he thought. ¡°Elder Tang, you don¡¯t know?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. What kind of person could steal spirit herbs right under Tang Chen¡¯s nose? ¡°When the Palace Lord goes on an expedition, the various experts in the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s territory naturally have to follow him. Although there¡¯s a great array protecting them, they still have to be on guard.¡± ¡°This old man has been helping the Palace Lord Guard the Purple Moon Palace for the past few days.¡± Tang Chen¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. The warehouse of the Yue Xuan auction had been stolen, and even the treasures bestowed by the Emperor had been lost¡­ ¡°What a coincidence?¡± Lin Mo said. How did these people know the location of the treasures in the warehouse. Furthermore, the timing was so good that they were able to steal the treasure without any effort. ¡°But, the news of the auction has already spread¡­¡± Tang Chen said. Lin Mo had just become the venue owner, yet such a huge incident had already happened at the auction. If he did not handle it well, then Lin Mo¡¯s reputation would be ruined. ¡°This old man here has a few spirit rank cultivation methods and martial arts, all of which are part of my life¡¯s collection. Young Master Lin, you should auction them off.¡± After thinking for a moment, Tang Chen said. Due to his negligence, Lin Mo had fallen into a difficult situation, and he could not feel at ease. ¡°In addition, Yue Xuan¡¯s formation covers a large area. Anyone who enters will leave behind traces that can not be erased in a short period of time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that we can find out.¡± Lin Mo nodded, and his voice was a little cold. The people of the imperial city were indeed not to be trifled with. The slightest carelessness would result in complete loss. Jiang Xiyue had only taken her people away for a few days, yet even the Treasury had been stolen away. ¡°However, there¡¯s no need for cultivation techniques or martial techniques. However, the rules of this auction have to be changed. The scale can not be too large. This time, only ten treasures will be auctioned off. Every single one of them is of high quality.¡± Lin Mo said. To be able to be collected by Tang Chen, this treasure must be extraordinary. However, he had yet to reach that stage. Chapter 325 - The Auction Remains the Same Following that, he and Tang Chen headed to another treasury and were immediately shocked. This place had also been robbed. This was a place where all sorts of precious materials were stored, but it had been ransacked completely. There was nothing left. ¡°The other treasury has also been robbed. The remaining treasures aren¡¯t particularly precious anymore.¡± Tang Chen walked in from the outside, frowning. The entire Yue Xuan auction house was already empty. ¡°How¡¯s the array formation check?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s been checked. If the person who stole the treasures comes, this token will have a reaction.¡± Tang Chen handed over a token. Currently, in the entire Yue Xuan, this array formation was probably the only treasure that could be considered a treasure¡­ ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. Elder Tang, please go and collect the auction items. Only spirit grade items.¡± Lin Mo took the token and chose a storage unit. He then took out the treasures he had on him. Other than the cultivation resources that he had left for Yan and Lin Die, there were also some that Lin Mo had recently obtained. Spirit-grade tier 9 Magic Tool, Shadow Dragon Spear, a top-tier magic tool. This item could not be auctioned off. Other than that, there was also a spirit tier 9 cultivation technique. The ¡°fake dragon technique¡± was a very powerful cultivation technique. It contained a strand of true dragon runes that could be comprehended. However, a spirit tier 9 would only appear a few times in the imperial city¡¯s auction, so it could not be sold. Lin Mo muttered to himself as he took out a scroll. Although spirit tier 7 was rare in the Imperial City, it had appeared a few times over the years. Using it as the finale might cause quite a stir. Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. Other than that, he also had a few spirit tier 5 treasures on him. These were all rebates from the auction for Bai Luo. It was more than enough to support an auction. Very quickly, the auction had already begun. There were many people who had come, and all sorts of people had come. There were quite a few people who had come from the imperial city. Most of them wanted to get closer to Lin Mo. After all, such a young genius was worthy of being roped in. At the entrance of Yue Xuan, the roars of demonic beasts resounded. A middle-aged man came riding a white tiger and stopped here. The white tiger¡¯s eyes revealed a fierce light. It was extremely powerful, and its tiger eyes carried a hint of blood. This was a fierce beast that had been on the battlefield, and had experienced many battles. ¡°What a powerful demonic beast. Who is this, to actually be able to make this demonic beast become a mount?¡± Someone was greatly shocked as he looked at the person above. This person¡¯s body was also stained with blood. This was a sharpness that only those who had been on the battlefield for a long time would have. ¡°This is the white tiger marquis. He has returned from the battlefield.¡± Someone recognized his identity. In the imperial city, when the nobles and nobles went out, they would either have shocking pomp or groups of guards. Only the white tiger marquis was an exception. One man and one tiger, his might shook the entire area. He was originally a commoner who made a name for himself. He had participated in the war since he was young, and his fame was all earned through killing. When he returned to the Imperial City, he was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and he was conferred the title of Marquis. Now, he had even broken through to the Nirvana Realm. He did not expect that the Yue Xuan auction would cause such a huge commotion, and such a big figure had come. The white tiger stopped and lay quietly in front of the Yue Xuan gate. The White Tiger Marquis turned over and got down. His body was not very tall, but he gave off a sense of oppression and was incomparably fierce. ¡°The White Tiger Marquis led ten thousand tiger guards to guard the borders of the Yan Huang Divine Empire. It was difficult for external enemies to invade, and he made many outstanding contributions. In the end, he was conferred the title of Marquis.¡± On the side of Yue Xuan, Lin Mo was sitting in a private room in an attic. He looked out of the window and felt an extremely strong pressure from the White Tiger Marquis. Taking out a token, Lin Mo carefully observed it. After discovering that there was no movement from the token, he no longer paid any attention to it. ¡°Spirit tier 7 martial art, flood dragon out to sea, I hope it won¡¯t disappoint me.¡± After the White Tiger Marquis had settled the white tiger down, he muttered to himself. He strode into Yue Xuan, and a female attendant immediately came up to him and brought him inside. The appearance of the White Tiger Marquis caused quite a commotion, and many people were discussing it. ¡°I heard that the White Tiger Marquis seems to be here for the ¡®Flood dragon rises from the sea¡¯. It seems like he¡¯s determined to win it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. Yue Xuan has just been controlled by Lin Mo, and she¡¯s already auctioned off a spirit rank 7. Many people have come to support her, and I wonder who will win in the end.¡± Someone said softly. Lin Mo took a sip of his wine. There was still an hour before the start of the auction, so there was no need to rush for the time being. The person who stole the treasure vault definitely wanted to see Yue Xuan make a fool of himself. Now that Yue Xuan was in such a big spotlight, he might not be able to resist coming over to scout for news. This was also the reason why he was hiding here. He wanted to see if he could find out the person who stole the treasure vault. Snowflakes drifted down from the air. For a moment, the temperature of the entire street dropped by a few degrees. A war chariot came from afar, pulled by two white horses with wings. On the foreheads of these white horses, there was a single horn, exuding a holy and flawless light. ¡°Snowflakes, the tenth princess is here.¡± Everyone was shocked. This tenth princess was deeply loved by the emperor, and he personally bestowed two single-horned horses for her to pull the carriage. The curtain was pulled open, and the tenth princess¡¯ face was revealed. There was a smile on her fair face, and she chatted with anyone in the carriage. In the following period of time, one carriage after another arrived, and one after another, they poured into the Yue Xuan auction house. These people all had extraordinary statuses. There were princes and princesses, as well as princes and princesses. The young masters of some large clans also came one after another. Lin Mo sighed slightly. He had only observed this place for a moment, and he already understood how powerful the imperial city was. The rumors that he had heard about the imperial city in the past were all too childish. Even when the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty had sealed off this place, there was no lack of spirit grade treasures being auctioned off in the imperial city. In other words, this place had never been sealed off before¡­ In the end, Lin Mo still was not able to wait for the person he wanted to wait for. It was almost time, so he had to head to the venue to host the auction. In the end, Lin Mo paid for the wine and went downstairs to the Moon Pavilion. As he entered the hall, the crowd surged. There were quite a few people who came to send in the auction items, and some of them were for sale. These people were all experts from various factions and had quite a good reputation in the imperial city. There were quite a few people like Lin Mo who wore a bamboo hat to conceal their identities. Although there were a few of them, they were not the people Lin Mo was looking for. ¡°Could it be that those people stole the treasure and left?¡± Lin Mo frowned. If that was the case, how was he supposed to find a needle in a haystack? Under the lead of a maid, Lin Mo walked into a private room. At this moment, the auction had already started. The auctioneer was a young lady named Hui Xiang. She was a famous auctioneer in Yue Xuan. At this moment, she was holding an auction hammer in her hand as she skillfully introduced the auction items on the stage. Yue Xuan¡¯s background was Jiang Xiyue. Moreover, there were Nirvana Realm powerhouses guarding it all year round. Therefore, no one dared to cause trouble. According to the rules, the first auction item would be given to each private room for people to look at. If they were interested, they could bid directly. First was the first auction item, which was from Jin Lie¡¯s collection. Many people were interested, and the people in the private room were also very surprised. They didn¡¯t expect the first auction item to be such a good item. Chapter 326 - : Old Without Shame ¡°Spirit-quenching golden herb, fourth tier spirit grade. It can effectively make up for the flaws in the physical body. If the physical body is strong, it can also be improved. This is quite attractive to powerhouses in the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Seeing that many people were interested, she said, ¡°I think there are many young masters and young ladies of many families who have come here.¡± ¡°This will be of great help to your cultivation. Don¡¯t miss it, ¡°Hui Xiang said with a smile. ¡°What? The first item is a fourth tier spirit rank?¡± Everyone in the auction hall was surprised. They all looked at the stage, drooling. A fourth tier spirit rank was the most important treasure in some small auctions. And now, it was being sold as the first item in the Yue Xuan Hall. ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect there to be spirit-quenching golden herb. Then I¡¯ll bid for it and give it to my young master as a gift.¡± An old man¡¯s voice sounded. His old voice carried a hint of dominance. ¡°Sigh, we¡¯re destined to come here for nothing¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone said that only ten treasures would be auctioned this time. Looks like we won¡¯t have the chance.¡± Many people sighed. They had thought that they would be able to get one or two treasures, but who would have thought that only ten would be auctioned. Lin Mo looked at the auction grounds and nodded slightly. This spirit quenching golden herb had indeed caused quite a stir. However, this item was not of much use to him, as each of his cultivation realms were extremely perfect. His physical body had been tempered many times and had long reached perfection. Although the spirit quenching golden herb was good, he could only auction it. ¡°Spirit grade fourth grade spirit-tempering golden herb, starting bid, 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Hui Xiang dropped her hammer and announced the start of the auction. The starting bid of 100,000 was enough to scare off many people. This kind of price had already caused many people to lose the qualifications to compete. ¡°I bid 110,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Someone shouted loudly. ¡°120,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Even though many people did not have the qualifications to bid, there were still many people who participated in the auction. They all wanted this spirit quenching golden herb. Spirit herbs that could temper one¡¯s body were extremely precious in the cultivation world. Usually, when they appeared, they would be auctioned off for an astronomical price. This was especially so in the imperial city. Most people did not lack spirit stones, so the price of the spirit quenching golden herb was quickly raised to 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This price was not considered low, and there were still people who did not give up. ¡°Squeak.¡± The door to Lin Mo¡¯s private room was opened, and a wisp of fragrance wafted in. Jiang Xiyue had also come to participate in the auction. She wore a purple skirt, and with light steps, she came to Lin Mo¡¯s side and sat down. ¡°Elder Tang told me. has that person come to participate in the auction?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. The Yue Xuan Treasury had been stolen by someone. This was indeed her negligence. She should have asked Tang Chen to take the treasure away. ¡°Not at the moment. He doesn¡¯t seem to have come to the auction.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He could be said to have no clue. If other people did not come to him, it would be difficult for him to find the person. ¡°I did find something here. The blood evil mercenary group has recently accepted an escort mission. They are escorting a group of merchants from the city to the imperial city.¡± Jiang Xiyue took out a scroll. On it was a map of an area near the imperial city, marked with the blood evil mercenary group¡¯s headquarters. ¡°What are you going to do?¡±Lin Mo asked. Jiang Xiyue would definitely not give up after the business group was robbed. Perhaps there would be a new move next. ¡°I will send people to destroy that group of people. You, find an opportunity to leave the city and go to the blood evil mercenary group to find out the truth. Make sure you are safe and find out who is behind the blood evil mercenary group.¡± ¡°If the defense of their headquarters is weak, destroy them.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. It was already the limit to destroy the escort team of the blood evil mercenary group without anyone noticing. As for the information about their headquarters, she could only leave it to Lin Mo to find out. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just leave it to me. Oh right, I¡¯ve prepared a gift for you.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he watched a person in a private room bid for the spirit-quenching golden herb. The next auction item was brought up. Hui Xiang smiled mysteriously as she lifted the red cloth on the silver plate. A jade bottle appeared on the silver plate. The next moment, she opened the jade bottle and a powerful aura spread out. ¡°Roar.¡± Dragon roars reverberated throughout the auction hall. The dragon¡¯s aura was extremely pure. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Such a terrifying aura. Furthermore, that was a dragon roar, right?¡± Many people discussed and came to a shocking conclusion. The liquid in the jade bottle was related to the legendary true dragon¡­ ¡°Just as everyone expected, this is dragon blood, but it¡¯s not pure. Half of the other races¡¯ bloodlines are in it. ¡°And this dragon blood isn¡¯t from a true dragon. As for where it came from, we do not know either¡­¡± Huixiang smiled and was also very surprised. Why would the auctioneers auction off such a precious treasure? Could it be that the eighth princess was gifted and did not need dragon¡¯s blood? ¡°So it¡¯s murky blood¡­¡± ¡°You should have said so earlier. So that¡¯s how it is. Then I roughly know where it came from.¡± Some people said. They were well-informed and knew the identity of Qing Xi, the previous Saintess of the Qing Huai Holy Land. However, to their surprise, this happened despite Qing Xi being escorted out of the Yanhuang dynasty by a mysterious person. Why would her blood appear here? ¡°Do you like it?¡± In the private room, Lin Mo looked at Jiang Xiyue. At this moment, the latter¡¯s pretty face had a hint of surprise, but more than that, she was still stunned. Originally, Jiang Xiyue thought that after Lin Mo obtained the true dragon bloodline, he had already swallowed it. She did not expect him to really intend to give it to her. ¡°This gift is too precious. You can keep it for yourself.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. Lin Mo was also a genius. The true dragon bloodline was very useful to him and he could not miss it. ¡°Your words are enough.¡± Lin Mo grabbed Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand. His excited and nervous expression caused Lin Mo to be a little dazed¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve prepared this bloodline for you from the very beginning¡­¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, Jiang Xiyue blushed slightly and turned her head away, not knowing what to say. Seeing this, Lin Mo could not help but become bolder. Under Jiang Xiyue¡¯s stunned gaze, he reached out and lifted her lower regions. In the next moment, he kissed her sparkling red lips. ¡°Woo¡­¡± In the private room, Jiang Xiyue felt as if she had been electrocuted. She collapsed into Lin Mo¡¯s embrace. Lin Mo reached out and pulled her into his embrace. The atmosphere instantly became ambiguous. However, just as Lin Mo was about to take a step forward¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue struggled slightly. Her pretty face was already completely red. She said softly, ¡°Elder Luo¡­ is watching us¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was full of confusion. How could elder Luo have so much free time? How could he peek into other people¡¯s privacy¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t expect elder Luo to be like this. It turns out that he¡¯s completely shameless¡­¡± Lin Mo said angrily. He had no choice but to stop what he was doing. At the same time, in another private room, Luo Haoyu, Qian Qian, Yan Rong, and Lin Die were all watching the auction. Qian Qian was holding a teapot and pouring a cup of fragrant tea for everyone. Luo Haoyu took it and took a sip. The next moment, he spat it out and pointed at the wall of the private room in front of him. ¡°Pah, I¡¯m concerned about the safety of the palace master. Who cares about you?¡± He was full of worry. Who would have thought that these two people would be so intimate in the private room¡­ Chapter 327 - Auctioning the Bloodline of the True Dragon In the private room, Yan Rong and the rest had a face full of question marks. They did not understand why Luo Haoyu would suddenly start cursing while drinking tea. Only Qian Qian seemed to have thought of something and was immediately dissatisfied. Her small face was filled with displeasure. After that, she directly pushed open the door and walked towards Lin Mo¡¯s private room. Yan Rong followed after Lin Die. At this moment, in Lin Mo¡¯s private room, Qian Qian and Lin Mo were staring at each other. Jiang Xiyue blushed and lowered her head. She struggled out of Lin Mo¡¯s arms and let him hold her hand. On the contrary, Lin die was curious and kept asking Yan Rong what happened. ¡°Miss, you¡¯re still young. This is something only adults can understand¡­¡± Yan Rong was embarrassed. Facing Lin Die¡¯s question, he really did not know how to answer¡­ Fortunately, the awkwardness in the private room did not last long. Hui Xiang personally took the jade bottle and walked down the auction stage, walking into one private room after another, showing it to everyone. This also made some people¡¯s thoughts turn quickly. Although Hui Xiang was also a cultivator, her realm was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, so it was not enough to be relied upon. If they snatched the auction item at this time and ran away just like that, there might be a chance to get away with it¡­ This thought echoed in many people¡¯s minds. Finally, when Hui Xiang walked out of the third private room, a sudden change occurred. A man in the hall suddenly jumped up, and the black and gold dagger in his hand stabbed towards Hui Xiang. Although there were not many fights in the imperial city, there were still some. After all, this was the imperial city of cultivators, and martial arts were the most respected. As long as there was a good reason, they could fight for revenge. However, this was the first time in nearly a hundred years that she had seen someone snatch an auction item. Huixiang completely ignored this person and walked straight to the next private room. She had been managing Yue Xuan for many years, so she had experience. Moreover, she clearly knew that there was someone protecting her in the dark. ¡°Humph, you¡¯re courting death.¡± As expected, the moment this man made his move, a berating voice sounded. This voice came from Luo Haoyu. The terrifying pressure of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse spread, and in just an instant, it made this man lose his life force. With a ¡°Bang¡±, the man¡¯s corpse fell and was dragged away by the guards who rushed over. The whole process only took a few seconds, but everyone was shocked. The person who attacked just now was at least at the tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. They did not expect him to die right away. With Luo Haoyu¡¯s intimidation, Hui Xiang also smoothly passed through the private rooms and arrived in front of Lin Mo and the others. ¡°Hui Xiang greets the palace master.¡± Hui Xiang knelt on the ground. She knew Lin Mo was here, but she did not expect the palace master to come as well¡­ ¡°Get up.¡± Jiang Xiyue raised her hand and took the bottle of true dragon blood from Huixiang. She lifted it up and a faint golden light appeared from the bottle¡¯s mouth. When she got closer, she could hear the faint sound of a dragon¡¯s roar. ¡°This is the purest true dragon bloodline. Consuming it can nurture dragon qi in one¡¯s dantian. It has endless potential in the future¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue exclaimed in admiration. The value of this item had already surpassed the spirit grade and was extraordinary even among the earth grade. The others also came over to take a look. They were very surprised. This was the first time they had seen such a treasure. ¡°I¡¯ve split the dragon¡¯s blood into two portions. This portion is only a small portion. After the auction is over, I¡¯ll give you the other portion.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He didn¡¯t need the dragon¡¯s blood, but Lin Die could swallow it. Breaking out of her cocoon and becoming a butterfly required her to go through many hardships. With the help of the true dragon¡¯s blood, she would be able to undergo at least the next two transformations. She did not need to worry about any problems. ¡°There¡¯s still one more?¡± Everyone was shocked. This dragon¡¯s blood was already very pure. This one bottle was already quite a lot, yet Lin Mo still had it¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you killed someone?¡± Qian Qian could not help but ask. According to her estimations, this one bottle should have more than half of Qing Xi¡¯s bloodline. Lin Mo indeed still had it. She had reason to suspect that this fellow had killed Qing Xi and obtained all the true dragon¡¯s bloodline¡­ ¡°How is that possible?¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes. Sending someone to the border and then killing him¡­ Was there something wrong with him¡­ After Jiang Xiyue observed for a while, she sent the true dragon blood back to Huixiang and asked her to auction it. ¡°Quick, tell me the starting price. How many spirit stones does this true dragon blood cost?¡± Seeing Huixiang walk out of the last private room, someone couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°I feel that this treasure should be bartered,¡± Another person said. Under everyone¡¯s gazes, Hui Xiang closed the lid of the jade bottle. At this point, the dragon aura in the auction house gradually dissipated. ¡°This true dragon¡¯s blood is only sold for spirit stones. The starting price is 1,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Hui Xiang said slowly. These were all Lin Mo¡¯s intentions. ¡°What? The starting price is one million middle-grade spirit stones?¡± ¡°And only spirit stones?¡± Many people were surprised. How could such a good thing be measured with spirit stones. How many spirit stones would it require to be comparable to this¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t treat it as a treasure too much. After all, didn¡¯t auctioneer Huixiang say that this true dragon¡¯s blood is very turbid?¡± In the hall, because they had not personally seen it, they did not know the truth. On the contrary, the discussions in the ten or so private rooms continued to expand, and many people were trying to gather spirit stones. ¡°1.1 million,¡± Someone immediately said. ¡°1.2 million.¡± Although they didn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo wanted to sell such a precious dragon¡¯s blood, they would not miss this opportunity. Although 1 million middle-grade spirit stones was not a small amount of income. However, the people of the imperial city would not lack such a small amount of resources. Very quickly, this bottle of dragon blood reached two million middle-grade spirit stones. Even so, there were still seven people who were still competing. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s the meaning of your actions? How can such a treasure be measured by spirit stones? It should be bartered.¡± In a private room, an old man said angrily. He did not have enough spirit stones, so he could not bid anymore. ¡°Sir, the seller insisted on spirit stones, so there¡¯s nothing we can do.¡± Huixiang said calmly. The hammer fell and announced the latest price. ¡°Sir, the bid is 2.2 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?¡± ¡°It¡¯s time.¡± Seeing that the other two families had given up, Lin Mo nodded. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°2.5 million.¡± Everyone in the auction hall was shocked and a commotion broke out. 2.5 million mid-grade spirit stones was not a small amount. One had to know that even the imperial city¡¯s mercenary group only needed 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones to hire a Nirvana Realm expert. 2.5 million mid-grade spiritual stones was not something that anyone could afford. ¡°Who is this?¡± In the private room, an angry roar sounded. They thought that 2,200,000 mid-grade spiritual stones would be enough to bid for the dragon blood. They did not expect the price to be raised in the end. ¡°Elder, the person in the private room is the eighth prince.¡± A guard said. He had seen the eighth prince enter earlier and did not hide it. ¡°What do you think?¡± The others were also silent. They did not understand what Jiang Xiyue was up to. Did she put her treasure up for auction just to attract some fame and then bid it back? Chapter 328 - Not Offensive ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It seems like she¡¯s only trying to raise the price. She doesn¡¯t want us to get the dragon blood so cheaply.¡± An old man spoke. If he wanted to accumulate fame, it wouldn¡¯t go as far as the dragon blood. After all, this item could be hidden as long as it could be hidden because it was too precious. ¡°Three million.¡± At this moment, a forthright voice sounded, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Raising the price by 500,000 in one go was not something that anyone could afford. ¡°It¡¯s the White Tiger Marquis. He¡¯s also involved¡­¡± Some people were shocked. They did not expect the white tiger marquis to be so rich. He could even take out three million. ¡°White Tiger Marquis, you¡¯re a border general. Where did you get so many spirit stones?¡± A discordant voice rang out. The owner of this voice was relatively young, yet he dared to question the Lord White Tiger in public. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the curtain of the Lord White Tiger¡¯s private room was lifted, and the Lord White Tiger cupped his fists towards the private room opposite, he said, ¡°Reporting to the fourth prince, this old subject has been in battle for many years and received many rewards. Although the spirit stones are not enough, it is enough to sell some.¡± The White Tiger Marquis said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He pulled the curtain and stopped talking. The identity of the other party was also exposed at this moment. ¡°The fourth prince is here too. Let¡¯s watch the show first, ¡°Lin Mo said with a smile. Judging from the situation, the White Tiger Marquis and the fourth prince did not seem to be on good terms. This was also good. It saved them the trouble of raising the price. ¡°By the way, I have a question. Why did you put the true dragon¡¯s blood in second place?¡± Qianqian asked at this moment. Jiang Xiyue was also curious and looked at Lin Mo. The True Dragon¡¯s blood caused quite a stir and was the best choice for the finale. However, to put it second was out of the blue. This was because the later items could not be better than the true dragon¡¯s blood. The atmosphere of the auction wouldn¡¯t be as lively as before, which was not good for the upcoming auction. ¡°I¡¯m not really selling the true dragon¡¯s blood, so it¡¯s not suitable for the finale. The auction has just started. Let¡¯s see how many spirit stones they brought. I¡¯ll also scam some of their treasures.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and gestured for everyone to continue watching. Meanwhile, the White Tiger Marquis and the fourth Prince had already raised the price to 4.2 million. This price surpassed the finale of the auction that had been held in the Imperial City for the past ten years and became the most precious item. In the end, not only the fourth prince, but the people from the Heavenly King Mansion also joined in. The three of them were all competing. In the blink of an eye, the price had risen to 6 million, which was six times the starting price¡­ ¡°It¡¯s already this price. That b*tch Jiang Xiyue should be sold to us, right?¡± In the private room of the Heavenly King Mansion, several elders said angrily. Even if the Heavenly King Mansion mobilized six million resources, it would still face a loss of more than a year. However, everything was worth it for the crown prince to get the True Dragon¡¯s blood. ¡°Seven million¡­¡± However, just when they thought that the dust had settled, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s light and melodious voice sounded. ¡°Wow¡­¡± The crowd was in an uproar. Seven million, seven million more. Who was this? He was too forthright¡­ ¡°Bastard¡­¡± The people from the Heavenly King Mansion almost cursed. They were simply insatiable. Six Million was enough to buy a tier nine spirit-grade cultivation technique and a set of martial arts. The cultivation technique was extremely precious. Naturally, they would not exchange it for spirit stones. However, looking at Jiang Xiyue¡¯s momentum, it seemed that she would not let them get the true dragon¡¯s blood so easily¡­ ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect that my royal sister is also interested in the true dragon¡¯s blood¡­¡± The fourth prince laughed softly and said, ¡°However, this Yue Xuan seems to be my royal sister¡¯s property. ¡°I wonder if my royal sister is bidding or raising the price?¡± The fourth prince¡¯s words made everyone in the hall nod their heads. Yue Xuan was established by the eighth prince in his early years. Now that he was participating in the auction on his own territory, it was a little unreasonable. ¡°Royal brother, you must be joking. Xiyue longs for the precious true dragon blood. If royal brother feels that Xiyue is raising the price, you can give up on the competition.¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled lightly and said the same thing to the Heavenly King Manor and the White Tiger Marquis. ¡°Eighth prince, I have a tier seven spirit grade cultivation technique here. Please give me a price. If it¡¯s suitable, I¡¯m willing to sell it to you.¡± The White Tiger Marquis opened his mouth and took out a scroll. A maid came to the window, took the scroll, and handed it to Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Coming¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. There was no auction item before, but now there was¡­ ¡°So this is your plan¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded, understanding Lin Mo¡¯s plan. However, she still said, ¡°The White Tiger Marquis is very talented, and is deeply cared for by father. It¡¯s not appropriate to offend him¡­¡± If the White Tiger Marquis insisted in the end, could it be that this bottle of true dragon blood was really going to be sold? ¡°I was careless¡­¡± Lin Mo understood. At first, he thought that no one in the imperial city could be stronger than a few princes. Reality proved that he was thinking too simply. This time, only the White Tiger Marquis had come, and there might be even more coming the next time¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t you still have a bottle that is even more precious? If you give this bottle to the White Tiger Marquis, it will be good karma.¡± Lin Mo had another bottle that was even more precious. It wasn¡¯t impossible for him to give this bottle away. ¡°But¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at Lil¡¯ Die He was planning to give this bottle to Lil¡¯ Die¡­ ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t have to think about me. With sister Xiyue¡¯s bedroom, Xiaodie¡¯s cultivation won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Lin Die saw through Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts and said immediately. Although she was young, she knew to put the big picture first. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. His plan was to scam the other princes of their spirit stones and treasures and let Jiang Xiyue bid for them in the end. He did not think carefully. He did not expect that a ruthless person who was as powerful and wealthy as the princes would come. The key was that he could not give an enemy like Jiang Xiyue Shu¡­ He took the scroll from Jiang Xiyue and kept it in the system space. [ spirit rank rank 7 water attribute cultivation technique, cloud water art. No special functions. Price: 1.5 million mid-grade spirit stones. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded. This cloud water art was not bad, but because it did not have any special functions, the price was slightly lower. ¡°Since we want to make friends, then let¡¯s make it 1.8 million mid-grade spirit stones,¡±Lin Mo said. Jiang Xiyue announced the price, and the White Tiger Marquis nodded in satisfaction and called out a price of 7.5 million. The value of his ¡°Cloud Water Art¡±was not worth 1.8 million. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s actions had greatly increased his favorable impression of her. At the very least, in front of him, Jiang Xiyue was much more pleasing to the eye than the fourth prince. ¡°8 million.¡± At this moment, the Heavenly King¡¯s Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, spoke up. They had been collecting spirit stones during this period of time. They had even ordered people to transfer a batch of spirit stones from the mansion. Currently, they had sufficient funds. ¡°8.3 million.¡± The White Tiger Marquis continued to speak. This was all the spirit stones he had on him, and there wasn¡¯t much left. However, it didn¡¯t seem like it was enough to obtain the true dragon¡¯s blood. Thus, he continued to recruit female servants and sell more treasures. At the same time, in the Heavenly King Manor, the fourth prince was also selling his treasures. Without exception, these were all eaten by Lin Mo. he set a price for them and waited for the auction to end. And in the end, the price of the true dragon¡¯s blood directly broke through ten million. When the White Tiger Marquis shouted out ten million mid-grade spirit stones, his voice was trembling, and he had some resentment towards the Heavenly King Manor and the fourth prince¡­ Chapter 329 - Blood of the True Dragon’s heart However, such a high price shocked the fourth prince and the Heavenly King Manor. After Huixiang had confirmed the third bid, she dropped the hammer and announced that the White Tiger Marquis was the final winner. The White Tiger Marquis heaved a sigh of relief when the hammer dropped. He then looked at Jiang Xiyue¡¯s private room with gratitude. Many of the treasures he sold were not of high value, but Jiang Xiyue still gave him a high price, which made him very satisfied. However, this also consumed all of his collection. Originally, he had come to auction the martial art flood dragon out to sea. Now, there was nothing he could do. He only had a few tens of thousands of spiritual stones on him, so he could not bid for anything. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m already satisfied that I can get the true dragon¡¯s blood¡­¡± The White Tiger Marquis was very satisfied with this. He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the auction to end. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off the earth-grade 9 treasure, the True Dragon Bloodline ] [ Due to the severe losses in this auction, the system has compensated you, triggering a 100,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining a drop of True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood ] ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Lin Mo was shocked by the system. There was nothing he could do, it was too scary. He did not expect that this bottle of true dragon¡¯s heart blood was an earth-grade ninth rank, selling it for 10 million middle-grade spirit stones. It was indeed a loss¡­ However, it was fortunate that the system compensated him. This 100,000 times auction return was a little shocking, giving him a drop of True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood¡­ Lin Mo checked the system space. He saw a drop of blood floating in the air. The moment it got close, Lin Mo felt his soul explode and he almost could not take it¡­ ¡°What a terrifying aura. True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood, I¡¯ve made a fortune this time¡­¡± After checking the method of use, the system¡¯s introduction once again shocked Lin Mo. It was too powerful. As long as someone could take this drop of True Dragon¡¯s heart blood, they would be able to completely improve their physique. Not only that, but this drop of True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood also contained true dragon spell runes that could be comprehended by others. As long as Jiang Xiyue took it, she would be able to have a physique and talent comparable to a true dragon. At the same time, she would also be able to comprehend true dragon spell. Although it was impossible to comprehend the entire technique, if she could see one and a half moves, it would be enough for Jiang Xiyue to use for a lifetime¡­ ¡°Perfect¡­¡± Lin Mo could not help but laugh out loud. He had made a huge profit this time. The treasures he had bought could be auctioned off again, and he would be able to earn back the profits from the auction. The losses from the stolen treasures had also been made up at this time. ¡°Alright, the third item is a spirit grade 3 herb, a healing type spirit herb.¡± ¡°The starting price is 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Huixiang announced the third item. As it was only an ordinary healing type herb, she did not show it to the crowd. However, the contrast between the first and second items made it hard for the crowd to react. ¡°Spirit grade 3?¡± What was going on? Everyone¡¯s heads were filled with question marks. They didn¡¯t understand what the Yue Xuan auction was doing. The first item was very precious, causing many people to scramble for it. As for the second item, it caused four beings with extremely high statuses to scramble for it, raising the price to 10,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Why was this third item so inadequate? It was a third tier spirit grade item. Alright, this was also a treasure. If it were any other day, everyone would be very excited. Now, it was truly a little embarrassing. It was too inferior¡­ ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the fourth prince and the others will die from anger¡­¡± Qianqian looked at the atmosphere of the auction and snickered. Lin Mo¡¯s move was too despicable. He placed the most precious treasure in second place, befriended the White Tiger Marquis, and disgusted the fourth prince and the Heavenly King Manor¡­ ¡°After all, he gave us a bunch of treasures, but the auction items at the back aren¡¯t good enough¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue also chuckled. Although she had lost earlier, allowing people to take advantage of the situation and steal all of Yue Xuan¡¯s storage units, she had still been able to make a comeback. However, after Lin Mo had put in some effort, he had immediately turned the tables around¡­ ¡°The fourth item up for auction is a spirit grade 2 spirit devouring Fox Inner Core¡­¡± Hui Xiang, who was on the stage, felt a little embarrassed. Due to the silence, there were only a few bidders. As for the people in the private room, they were all silent, causing her to not even dare to send the treasure in for others to see. She was afraid that she would be beaten out the moment she entered, especially in the private room of the fourth prince and the Heavenly King Manor¡­ ¡°Cough cough, congratulations to this mister for buying this inner core at the price of 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The auction continued, but she hesitated as these treasures were all obtained by Lin Mo through the auction. As such, she didn¡¯t give him any more rebates. This atmosphere continued all the way until the final item was auctioned. Only then did the fiery atmosphere gradually rise¡­ ¡°This final item is the spirit grade tier 7 martial art, ¡®The flood dragon rises from the sea¡¯.¡± Hui Xiang hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage and walking into one of the private rooms to present the ¡®The flood dragon rises from the sea¡¯ to everyone. However, when she arrived at the White Tiger Marquis¡¯private room, Hui Xiang immediately felt a terrifying pressure. ¡°Lord White Tiger Marquis, this is the ¡®flood dragon out to sea¡¯,¡± Hui Xiang said under the pressure. ¡°Miss Hui Xiang, may I ask how much the starting price is? Also, is the seller the eighth prince?¡± The White Tiger Marquis picked up the ¡®flood dragon out to sea¡¯ and asked. ¡°Uh, it¡¯s the palace master¡¯s hanger-on, Lin Mo. Field owner Lin took it out.¡±Hui Xiang hesitated for a moment before speaking. ¡°It¡¯s him¡­¡± The White Tiger Marquis nodded. According to what he knew, this true dragon blood seemed to have been obtained by Lin Mo. He had even lured the Nirvana Realm experts away at the border and took the opportunity to kill Jin Lie. Although many people knew who killed Jin Lie, they had no evidence. The Heavenly King Mansion had lost two geniuses and their vitality had been greatly damaged¡­ As for the crown prince being grounded, the Heavenly King Manor did not dare to speak out in anger¡­ ¡°This young man is not simple. Can you recommend him?¡± The White Tiger Marquis said. He was very covetous of high-level martial arts and did not want to give up. If possible, he wanted to hear Lin Mo¡¯s conditions. As long as it was not too excessive, he could do something for him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back and report it.¡± Huixiang nodded and took the ¡®Flood dragon out to the sea¡¯ as she walked in one of the private rooms. When she arrived at Lin Mo¡¯s place, she told him the truth. The people in the private rooms were surprised. They did not expect the White Tiger Marquis to not want to give up this martial arts book. ¡°How is it? Can we recruit him?¡± Lin Mo asked. If they could recruit such an expert under Jiang Xiyue¡¯s command, it would be a great increase in their strength. ¡°I¡¯m afraid not.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. To think that a martial art of the seventh tier of the spirit grade could make the white tiger bow to her, she was thinking too much. ¡°Then do him a favor,¡± Lin Mo said. He had not learned the ¡®Flood dragon rises from the sea¡¯ either. As for a martial art of the seventh tier of the spirit grade, Jiang Xiyue would not lack it either, so she might as well let the white tiger bow to her. After letting Huixiang explain, the final auction began. Without exception, the White Tiger Marquis said that he still had a few treasures on him that could be used as spiritual stones to successfully bid for this martial art. At this point, the auction was over. The biggest winner on the surface was the White Tiger Marquis. Due to their low status, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction. This included the Heavenly King¡¯s Manor and the fourth prince¡­ Chapter 330 - Spend the Night Together Of course, Lin Mo would not tell anyone about the True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood that he had obtained. Even Qian Qian and the others did not know about it. ¡°Learn this and leave the imperial city before swallowing it.¡± After everyone left, Lin Mo brought Jiang Xiyue to the inner building of the Moon Pavilion. He took out a scroll that contained the ¡®Breath Holding Technique¡¯ that he had carved during this period of time. This technique was very magical. Its grade was very low, but it was very complicated. There were so many runes in it that even Lin Mo was speechless. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Xiyue was very curious. Did Lin Mo not call her here to give her the purer true dragon bloodline? Why did he have to learn a spell book now? ¡°Take a look at this first¡­¡± Lin Mo did not hide anything and took out the True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood from the system space. The moment the crimson blood appeared, the pavilion was filled with dragon might. If Lin Mo had not put it away in time, the entire Yue Xuan would have been destroyed by the dragon might. Countless experts in the imperial city would also know that by then, he and Jiang Xiyue would not be able to escape even if they had wings¡­ ¡°Just now¡­ What was that?¡± Jiang Xiyue took two steps back and stumbled. She almost fell when she lost her balance. Lin Mo hugged her in time and said softly, ¡°A true ancient divine beast, the blood of a true dragon.¡± ¡°You¡­ Where did you get it?¡± Jiang Xiyue could not believe it. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion. The ancient divine beast, the true dragon, had a terrifying aura. At that moment, she felt like she was about to be swallowed. Facing a true dragon, she had no chance of survival. ¡°This is my secret. You can think of it as me having a treasure basin. Do you trust me?¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a while before finally speaking. This statement was ridiculous, but it was similar to the truth. The system¡¯s effect on him was the same as the treasure basin. ¡°I believe you.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded and looked at Lin Mo seriously. ¡°Did I make the right bet back then?¡± She looked at Lin Mo. she had never regretted her decision back then. She thought that Lin Mo had to grow up completely before he could become her true partner. She did not expect that Lin Mo would give her such a big gift when they met again. It was too¡­ Too precious¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t let you down.¡± Lin Mo smiled and handed the scroll to Jiang Xiyue. He reached out and held her slim waist. Feeling the touch on her waist, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s pretty face blushed slightly. She struggled for a while, but Lin Mo hugged her tightly. ¡°You¡­ What do you want?¡± Jiang Xiyue said timidly. Lin Mo could not control himself for a while and his hands began to become disobedient. ¡°You look like you¡¯re tempting me to commit a crime¡­¡± Gently smelling the fragrance of the beauty in his arms, Lin Mo felt a ball of evil fire surge up in his lower abdomen. He could not bear it anymore. This time, no one disturbed him. Luo Haoyu and the others all left. Tang Chen went to collect the auction items but did not return. There were no Nirvana Realm powerhouses in Yue Xuan. No¡­ Perhaps there was one. That was the White Tiger Marquis who was left in the auction house¡¯s Reception Hall by Lin Mo¡­ Every moment of spring was worth a thousand gold coins! When dawn broke, Lin Mo sat by the bed in a loft in Yue Xuan. He looked at Jiang Xiyue who was dressed up on the dressing table. Lin Mo was slightly mesmerized by such a beautiful scene. However, soon, there was an urgent knock on the door. The door was kicked open by someone. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were shocked by the commotion. ¡°Ah, Qian Qian, why are you here!¡± Jiang Xiyue cried out in surprise. She did not expect her good sister, Qianqian, to find her here. ¡°Palace master, What are you¡­¡± Qianqian was anxious, especially when she saw the red marks on Jiang Xiyue¡¯s snow-white neck. She was even angrier. She glared at Lin Mo with murderous eyes. She looked like she wanted to rush up and execute Lin Mo on the spot. ¡°Hey, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Why didn¡¯t you knock on the door?¡± Lin Mo said unhappily. The princess was changing. Such a beautiful scene was ruined just like that. ¡°You still dare to say that?¡± Qianqian wanted to pull out her sword when she heard this. However, Lin Mo was already one step ahead of her. He grabbed hih clothes and jumped to the window. ¡°Find the materials and come find me after the practice session,¡± Lin Mo said softly. His words were very ambiguous, making Qianqian want to hit him. However, Jiang Xiyue only blushed and said softly, ¡°Okay.¡±. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t dare to stay here any longer. He jumped down from the window. If he stayed any longer, he was worried that Qianqian would really cut him. ¡°Palace Master, are you letting him off easy just like that?¡± Qianqian looked at Jiang Xiyue and said with disappointment. Although this was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s choice, she was still a little unhappy, especially since this person was Lin Mo. ¡°Alright Qianqian, you didn¡¯t get to know him until you fought him, even though he did go a little overboard back then¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue tried to persuade her, but her voice became softer and softer as she spoke. These words made Qianqian even angrier. Was it going a little overboard to auction her off as a female slave? ¡°I wonder what the palace head likes about him¡­¡± Qianqian did not understand what Jiang Xiyue meant. The two of them shared the same fate, and they were both struggling through a sea of bitterness. Back then, the two of them had made a rash decision. Although they did not see each other again, they were still worried about each other. As such, feelings were born in their hearts¡­ When they met, it was as if a lifetime had passed¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not angry about this. Palace head, do you know that this fellow left the white tiger waiting all night? This will affect you.¡± Qianqian explained. This was the reason why she had come here. Lin Mo, this bastard, only cared about the love between a son and a daughter. He had thrown aside the important guests that he could not afford to offend¡­ On the other side, Lin Mo left the attic. After being reminded by someone, he remembered that the White Tiger Marquis seemed to have waited for him for an entire night. Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare wine and went to the welcoming hall. Just as he pushed open the door, a fierce aura blew over. This bloody smell caused even Lin Mo¡¯s heart to tremble uncontrollably. ¡°How many people has he killed¡­¡± He muttered to himself. Even if he had been decisive in his killing, he did not have such a dense killing intent. It was clear how many people had died at the hands of the White Tiger Marquis. ¡°Isn¡¯t farm owner Lin putting on a little too many airs¡­¡± The White Tiger Marquis spoke. His tone was calm, but a hint of dissatisfaction was mixed within. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Last night¡¯s matter was too important, so I couldn¡¯t come.¡± Lin Mo said vaguely, took out a jade cup, and personally poured a cup of wine for the White Tiger Marquis. ¡°Forget it, these are the spirit stones on my body. Where are the true dragon bloodline and the ¡®flood dragon out to the sea¡¯?¡± The White Tiger Marquis recalled that he had a favor to ask, so it was not good to put on airs. He took out a beast skin belt and placed it on the table. ¡°Hehe, senior is straightforward.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a scroll and a jade bottle. The White Tiger Marquis hurriedly took it, opened the jade bottle, and looked at it carefully. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°What do you need me to do, field owner Lin?¡± The White Tiger Marquis asked. However, he also made it clear that some things should not be said. It was impossible in a short time. ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Mo felt a little regretful. He had thought that he could help Jiang Xiyue recruit someone, but he was rejected by the White Tiger Marquis before he could say anything. ¡°I bought the True Dragon Bloodline. It¡¯s not enough for me to take sides with just one martial arts book,¡± said the White Tiger Marquis. Chapter 331 - First Forging Such straightforward words made Lin Mo feel a little helpless. ¡°If you haven¡¯t thought it through yet, I¡¯ll owe you a favor. Call me if you need me,¡± The White Tiger Marquis added. After all, he had taken a martial arts manual from Lin Mo for nothing. He still needed to owe him a favor. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll make some moves in the near future. Senior, come with me. There¡¯s no need to make a move. If a Nirvana Realm powerhouse makes a move, just stop him and protect me at the same time.¡± Lin Mo said. He recalled that Jiang Xiyue seemed to want to make a move against the blood evil mercenary group. His mission was to stir up trouble in the blood evil mercenary group. He could do anything as long as the people in the blood evil mercenary group knew that someone had come. And now, he had the origin spirit puppet. Basically, he was invincible to anyone under the Nirvana Realm. The only thing he needed to be afraid of was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. It was better to let the White Tiger Marquis follow him so that he had the confidence to destroy the blood evil mercenary group. ¡°Tell me where we are going,¡± The White Tiger Marquis said, wanting to know the specific information. ¡°In the mountain range, the blood evil mercenary group¡¯s lair,¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°Deal.¡± The White Tiger Marquis agreed, put away the true dragon bloodline and martial arts, and planned to leave. ¡°Hey, wait.¡± Lin Mo hurriedly called out to the White Tiger Marquis and filled up his wine. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± The White Tiger Marquis took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, his face still expressionless. ¡°Senior said something wrong before, this true dragon bloodline is basically equivalent to me giving it to you for free.¡± Lin Mo laughed, this made the White Tiger Marquis feel puzzled. He had spent everything to gather ten million middle-grade spirit stones, how could he give it to Lin Mo for free? ¡°Alright, senior, you¡¯ll know when you go back and refine the true dragon bloodline.¡± Lin Mo finished the wine in his cup and gestured for him to leave. After saying something baffling, the White Tiger Marquis turned around and left, but he still remembered Lin Mo¡¯s words. After sending the White Tiger Marquis Off, Lin Mo finished the jar of fine wine and slowly walked out of the reception hall. In the Yue Xuan auction house, there were people coming and going in the corridors. Some of them were here to make reservations for the next auction. Some of them were here to auction off treasures. All of these were welcomed by maids, so Lin Mo did not need to do anything. After returning to the loft where he had a night with Jiang Xiyue, Jiang Xiyue and Qianqian had already left. Lin Mo simply tidied up and sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out a pile of heavenly and earthly treasures. There was something that he had been delayed for a long time and had not done yet. He took out the Ancient Sword of Desolation. In addition, there were many other materials, including the Heavenly Fire Chalcedony, that Lin Mo had prepared to fuse into the Ancient Sword of Desolation. ¡°Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t even looked at the forging master¡¯s inheritance that the system gave me¡­¡± Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness sank into his mind, recalling the memories that he had long ago. Gradually, some runes reverberated in his mind, becoming clearer and clearer. Lin Mo only felt his vision go black. In the next moment, he was already in his own consciousness space. At this moment, the runes around him were all over the ground, and they even contained the Space Dao. After continuing the Flame Dao, he came into contact with a new Dao. ¡°Space, this is an ability that only a Nirvana Realm expert can control.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Perhaps comprehending the Space Dao in advance would be of great help to him breaking through to Nirvana Realm in the future. The more he watched, the more shocked Lin Mo became. He felt that he had missed out on a great opportunity. ¡°Sigh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have touched the Flame Dao. I don¡¯t even need anyone to guide me in the cultivation space. This place can teach me¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. After looking at it for a while more, he forcefully exited his cultivation state and knew what he was here for. He carefully read the contents of the runes and memorized every single word of the forging master¡¯s inheritance. These inheritances were given to him by the system and could not be used for the return of profits from the auction. However, even so, Lin Mo was still shocked. These inheritances were too detailed and he could learn them in a short amount of time¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s practice first.¡± After his consciousness returned to his body, Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at the Ancient Sword of Desolation in front of him with a faint smile. Some materials were held in his hands, and a ball of flames appeared in his hands. Within the flames, the chirping of the Vermillion Bird could be heard. In order to forge the Ancient Sword of Desolation, the first step was to mess up the runes in its body. Only then could new materials be added in. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame was extremely overbearing. Under this burning, in less than ten minutes, the ancient sword of desolation softened. Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly took out a piece of jade and sent it into the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame. The jade melted and gradually fused with the ancient sword of Desolation, emitting a sizzling sound. During the fusion process, the characteristics of this piece of jade were also absorbed by the ancient sword of desolation. During this process, Lin Mo maintained the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame and did not relax even a little. When the spiritual energy in the jade was completely absorbed, the jade that was resisting the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame¡¯s burning turned into a pile of white ash¡­ ¡°It¡¯s effective¡­¡± Lin Mo was delighted because the Ancient Sword of Desolation¡¯s power had increased by a little, becoming stronger. Seeing this, Lin Mo continued to work hard, fusing the materials into the ancient sword of desolation. Although the process was a bit bumpy, due to his lack of experience, he failed and damaged the materials. However, the entire process was still very smooth. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Ancient Sword of Desolation in Lin Mo¡¯s hands had also been upgraded to a spirit rank 6. However, Lin Mo was not very satisfied with this. He looked at the two pieces of jade in front of him. These were two pieces of heavenly fire chalcedony. They were also the most precious materials he had prepared to fuse with. He started to refine them seriously. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame had already been burning for three days, and he had also been forging for three days. As he continued to accumulate experience, he was still very confident in fusing with the heavenly fire chalcedony. And things were progressing as he had imagined. The two pieces of heavenly fire chalcedony had been melted, and the spiritual energy of the flames had been extracted. When they were injected into the ancient sword of desolation, the entire body of the sword turned red, and it was quite resplendent. A wave of flames spread out on the ancient sword of desolation. What Lin Mo didn¡¯t expect was that the moment this ball of flames appeared, it resisted Lin Mo and actually wanted to extinguish the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame. ¡°It can resist on its own. It¡¯s indeed full of spirituality¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. As expected of a magic tool that could grow. It had just obtained the energy of the heavenly fire chalcedony, and it had already begun to resist Lin Mo.. ¡°Unfortunately, this is the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame. You Won¡¯t be able to block it,¡± Lin Mo said to himself. As he continued to pour in spiritual energy, the wave of resistance of the ancient desolate sword became smaller and smaller. In the end, the flame was extinguished, and the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame wrapped around the sword. The heavenly fire chalcedony was melted and stuck to the body of the ancient desolate sword. As the flame was refined, a wave of sharp sword qi spread out with the aura of the flame. In the end, the sword qi exploded, even cutting off the entire pavilion. Lin Mo¡¯s chest was slashed with blood, and he flew backwards. Yue Xuan¡¯s grand array was activated, and terrifying rays of light appeared, enveloping this place, wanting to suppress the ancient desolate sword. Lin Mo laughed loudly, taking out a token to turn off the array, and rushed forward to grab the ancient desolate sword. ¡°Haha, Spirit Rank 7, I succeeded.¡± Chapter 332 - Spirit Grade 7th Tier The Ancient Sword of Desolation wanted to resist, but Lin Mo held onto it tightly. The devouring power spread out and enveloped it. In an instant, the Ancient Sword of Desolation, which had been resisting with all its might, instantly became obedient. After planting his own soul imprint into the Ancient Sword of Desolation, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and put it away. This forging had caused quite a commotion and attracted the attention of quite a few people. Fortunately, they were inside Yue Xuan. With the protection of the formation, only a few maids and guards saw the scene just now. After ordering people to clean up, Lin Mo walked around Yue Xuan. After the forging had ended, he was a little idle. Tang Chen had yet to return and had gone to search for the auction items. He had probably gone deep into the mountains to pick spirit herbs in some dangerous areas. This responsible senior had always felt that it was his negligence that had led to Lin Mo¡¯s current predicament. Therefore, he was also desperately trying to make up for it. While Lin Mo was relaxing all day long, a letter from the teleportation array interrupted his leisure time. There were only two words on the letter, ¡°Action.¡± Seeing the letter from Jiang Xiyue, Lin Mo called for Huixiang. ¡°My Lord, what are your orders?¡± Huixiang jogged over. This owner, who had been idle all day, was about to take action again? ¡°I¡¯m going into closed-door cultivation. If anyone comes looking for me, help me block them.¡± After giving his orders, Lin Mo executed the ¡®breath-holding technique¡¯ and left Yue Xuan quietly without attracting anyone¡¯s attention. After leaving Yue Xuan, Lin Mo followed the directions on the map and arrived at a huge mansion. In front of the main door, there was a plaque with four large golden words on it. White Tiger Marquis Mansion! It was time to move out. He did not know if the White Tiger Marquis had come out of seclusion or not. If he was still refining the true dragon blood, he would be in trouble. ¡°Who are you?¡± Four guards stood in front of the White Tiger Marquis Mansion and asked. Lin Mo brought his bamboo hat and slowly walked forward, but he did not know how to express his intentions¡­ ¡°I wish to meet the White Tiger Marquis. Can you lead me to him?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry. Ten days ago, after the White Tiger Marquis returned to the manor, he announced that he was in closed-door cultivation and would not receive any guests,¡± The guard said. Although he did not know who the person in front of him with the bamboo hat was, he still said respectfully. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Could it be that he did not come out of closed-door cultivation? Then would he still have to travel alone¡­? ¡°Please go back.¡± In the end, Lin Mo was still unable to enter the manor. However, this was not a problem for him. After leaving the line of sight of the guards, he flew into the White Tiger Marquis Manor from the other side. However, just as he entered, a deep voice sounded by his ear. ¡°There¡¯s a token in the guest room on your left. Take it and go ahead. I¡¯ll be right behind you.¡± This was the voice of the White Tiger Marquis and he sounded a little nervous. It was obvious that his cultivation had reached a critical moment. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and replied, ¡°Senior, this matter isn¡¯t urgent. You should cultivate first. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll look for an opportunity next time.¡± He found the token and held it in his hand. He could feel a trace of a soul imprint within. This was left behind by the White Tiger Marquis. His motive was naturally to track down Lin Mo. After receiving the reply, Lin Mo flew out of the White Tiger Marquis Manor and blended into the crowd, walking out of the imperial city. After comparing the map, Lin Mo did not stop and headed in a direction. This path led to the blood fiend mercenary group. A few people followed behind and greeted each other. ¡°Fellow Daoist, why are you masked?¡± A middle-aged man enthusiastically went forward and greeted Lin Mo and the people around him. ¡°He just doesn¡¯t like to show his face.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. After asking around, he was a little speechless. These people wanted to go to the blood fiend mercenary group and walk the same path as him. However, they were only there to issue a commission. There was one person who issued a commission for his family¡­ ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m afraid that he has offended someone and wants to seek protection¡­¡± Some people sneered. They were very disdainful towards Lin Mo¡¯s secretive actions. ¡°Is that so? Fellow Daoist, you must be careful. You must pay attention to your safety when walking outside.¡± The middle-aged man smiled and went to the other side to chat with others. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what are you going to do?¡± Lin Mo felt that it was a little troublesome. He was just about to leave and avoid them when he heard their discussions. ¡°Fellow Daoist, are you saying that the blood fiend mercenary group has three Nirvana Realm leaders?¡± Lin Mo was slightly surprised. A mercenary group could actually have such powerful strength, three Nirvana Realm leaders. With such strength, they could become a first-rate or top-tier force in some important cities of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you don¡¯t know?¡± These people were stunned. They looked at Lin Mo curiously. This guy was wearing a bamboo hat, and he was very mysterious. Now, he actually did not know the specific strength of the blood fiend mercenary group? ¡°I just came to the imperial city not long ago. I wanted to find a shelter, so I did not know.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and made up an excuse. ¡°I see.¡± These people were stunned for a moment, and then they did not think too much about it. However, the way they looked at Lin Mo became more and more disdainful. After asking around, Lin Mo knew that there were three Nirvana Realm experts in the blood fiend mercenary group, and one of them would definitely guard the headquarters. This would not change. After all, this was their roots, and they had to guard it well. Apart from that, the blood fiend mercenary group had ten powerhouses at Tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and each of them had extraordinary skills. Most of these people would go out to accept missions, and most of them were escorts. However, in recent years, there were many rumors saying that the blood fiend mercenary group had killed passing merchant groups and even slaughtered their employers. Most of these rumors were groundless, so no one paid attention to them. However, Lin Mo knew that these rumors were probably true. One of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s business groups had been intercepted and killed, and all the treasures and spirit stones that they were transporting had been snatched away. After continuing to understand some of the news, Lin Mo nodded and followed these people to the territory of the blood fiend mercenary group. ¡°Stop, who are you people?¡± Just as they arrived, they were stopped by a five-man team as they questioned. ¡°Brothers from the blood fiend mercenary group, I¡¯m here to deliver a mission. I have an escort mission that I would like to trouble everyone with.¡± The middle-aged man who was the first to speak to Lin Mo opened his mouth and walked forward. However, just as he walked forward, the mercenary at the front slashed down. Fresh blood spurted out. Such a sudden attack had directly ended the life of this middle-aged man. When the others saw this, they could not help but be shocked. They clearly did not have any ill intentions, why did the other party still attack? ¡°Brothers, there are just enough for five here. Each of you will get one. Whoever gains less will be considered unlucky.¡± The leader of the mercenaries laughed sinisterly. Upon hearing this, the others numbered in the thousands. Spiritual energy circulated, and each of their strength was at tier 27th level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°We¡¯re the employers, and you guys actually¡­¡± These people said angrily. However, before they could finish their words, the long saber slashed down, and the remaining three people died one after another. Only Lin Mo was left standing at the back¡­ Looking at the mercenaries who were grinning hideously as they walked over, Lin Mo shook his head slightly, and the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared. They were even capable of slaughtering their employers. These people were not worthy of becoming mercenaries¡­ ¡°You¡­ Can go to hell¡­¡± Chapter 333 - The Thunder Saints Son, Ji Zixiao ¡°Puff!¡± The Sword Qi surged, and these mercenaries lost their lives before they could even react. After cleaning up these people¡¯s corpses, Lin Mo concealed himself and went deep into the area. As for the smell of blood here, there was no need to deal with it. The smell of blood was already very strong within the range of the blood fiend mercenary group¡­ ¡°Mm, the ones with the lowest cultivation base are all at the tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and they have the most people.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. Along the way, he had observed a lot and knew the specific strength of the blood fiend mercenary group. With tier 27 Dragon Transformation Realm as the foundation, the 28th and 29th tiers could be considered as the core strength. As for the Dragon Transformation tier 30 and 31st, he had yet to meet them, and he did not know why. ¡°How strange. Could it be that the blood fiend mercenary group has come out in full force?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Under the uncertain circumstances, he did not really want to make a move. After all, he did not know where the White Tiger Marquis was at the moment. It was not until Lin Mo went deep into the depths of the blood fiend mercenary group that he discovered the true upper echelon. It was a middle-aged man who was at the 30th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was the strongest person that Lin Mo had discovered so far. Seeing this, Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before choosing to make his move. He quietly walked into a building and used his soul power to block this place. Then, the Origin Spirit Puppet made its move. In just three moves, this person was forcefully controlled by Lin Mo. ¡°Who are you?¡± The middle-aged man was shocked. He did not expect that there was actually someone who could sneak into the headquarters of the blood fiend mercenary company. ¡°Answer my questions. If you say one more word of nonsense, I¡¯ll destroy you and capture someone else to ask around,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. The middle-aged man felt the killing intent from Lin Mo¡¯s body and his body trembled slightly. He nodded and said, ¡°If I talk, can you let me go?¡± ¡°I can let you go once and give you a chance to resist,¡± Lin Mo said. Naturally, it was impossible for him to let them go. His mission was to destroy the headquarters of the blood fiend mercenary group if he had the chance. In addition, the majority of the people in this mercenary group were bloodthirsty. For their own selfish desires, they were even willing to kill the employer who had come to issue the mission. He did not feel the slightest bit guilty about destroying such a mercenary group. ¡°Then you can ask.¡± The middle-aged man thought for a moment, feeling that Lin Mo would not let him go. However, it was not like he did not have a chance to resist. ¡°What mission did your mercenary group receive? Why did so many people leave?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know about this. Only the three regimental commanders know. They took away most of the people and said that there was a big mission. ¡°I don¡¯t know the specifics either. However, I know the schedule. You can too.¡± Perhaps he was afraid that Lin Mo would not be satisfied with the answer he gave, so he added, ¡°I¡¯m the only Dragon Transformation Realm tier 30 guard in the entire mercenary group. If I don¡¯t know the answer, it¡¯s even more impossible for others to know.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. It was basically the same as what he had observed. After asking about the matter again, Lin Mo did not receive any useful information. The only thing that surprised him was that the blood fiend mercenary group was actually the crown prince¡¯s influence. The crown prince had supported many hidden factions, helping him sell stolen goods and do dirty work. The blood fiend mercenary group was mostly used to rob houses and clear out some unwanted chess pieces. This was also the reason why this place was filled with extremely vicious people. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then there¡¯s nothing more to say.¡± Lin Mo obeyed and allowed the Origin Spirit Puppet to let go of this person, fulfilling his promise. The middle-aged man had just struggled free when a shocking aura burst forth from his body. Following which, he shouted. ¡°Someone, there¡¯s an intruder!¡± As soon as he said those words, a sword light pierced through the middle-aged man¡¯s spiritual energy barrier, shattering it in an instant. The Origin Spirit Puppet wielded a sharp sword in its hand. Even though it was of a lower grade, it was still able to instantly kill those of a lower cultivation realm. ¡°Who dares to commit murder in my blood fiend mercenary group?¡± The crowd rushed over one after another, but these people were not strong enough. Facing Lin Mo, they could only be killed. An hour later, the blood fiend mercenary group was completely annihilated. Corpses littered the ground. Lin Mo frowned as he swept the battlefield. In the end, he didn¡¯t receive any news, so he could only helplessly give up. Fortunately, the blood fiend mercenary group¡¯s warehouse had piled up quite a number of treasures. There were spirit stones, precious materials, and even a medicinal field. ¡°Three spirit grade 3 spirit herbs, not bad.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. This was not a wasted trip, at least he had gained something. He had originally thought that he would encounter a powerful enemy, and had even prepared his escape route. He had even brought along talismans to increase his speed, as well as talismans for short-distance teleportation. There was even a powerful existence like the White Tiger Marquis that he had invited, even though he did not come in the end¡­ ¡°Eh, I¡¯ve only walked for a short while, why is the Imperial city so lively?¡± Lin Mo returned and walked along the streets. He was a little surprised, as he discovered that the imperial palace was even more lively than he had imagined. There were many more outsiders, and some even had traces of blood on their bodies. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s her.¡± Ninth on the Board of Fame, the Holy Maiden of the Gu Yue Holy Land, Xiao Yue. This holy maiden, who was as otherworldly as the mortal world, had appeared in the imperial city at this moment. Next to her was the disciple of the Lei Ming Holy Land, Ji Hong. The two people on the Yan Huang Ranking of the wind and Cloud had come to the imperial city because the so-called Jingdou Dao conference was about to begin. Lin Mo watched from the side, wanting to see what these two people were here for. Not long after, a woman wearing a snow-white long dress walked over and welcomed the two people. ¡°Sister Xiao Yue, Sister Ji Hong, please forgive me for being late.¡± The woman gave a light laugh. She was very delicate and pretty, causing the surrounding people¡¯s eyes to go blank. ¡°Tenth princess, what are you saying? We¡¯ve just arrived.¡± Xiao Yue nodded, a smile on her face. Everyone was shocked. They did not expect the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Moon Holy Land to appear, but even the tenth princess had come. The tenth princess flew over in a hurry. Behind her were two white unicorns pulling a carriage. She must have felt that the unicorns were too slow, so she flew over first. ¡°Eh, Sister Ji Hong, why aren¡¯t you seeing your brother?¡± The tenth princess asked. She had thought that Ji Hong¡¯s brother would come, but in the end, he didn¡¯t¡­ ¡°My brother is so engrossed in his cultivation that he will arrive the day before the start of the competition¡­¡± Ji Hong said helplessly. Her brother was a battle maniac. He knew that a genius had risen recently, Lin Mo, and he really wanted to fight him. However, he was worried that Lin Mo had hidden a trump card, so he had been cultivating recently, wanting to wait for a breakthrough before fighting him. ¡°Uh¡­¡± In the distance, Lin Mo was a little speechless. Why would he want to fight her¡­ ¡°The holy son of the thunderous sacred land, Ji Zixiao, is currently ranked seventh on the Board of Fame. He¡¯s only second to the eighth princess. He wants to challenge Lin Mo, but Lin Mo¡¯s ranking is lower than his.¡¯ ¡°Actually, it¡¯s about the same. The top ten are all very valuable. Being able to enter shows that he¡¯s very strong. The gap between them is very small.¡± People were discussing this. They really wanted to see Lin Mo and Ji Zixiao, who were currently at their peak, fight. Chapter 334 - Blood Soul Flame Many people were surprised, but they also thought that the Jingdou Dao conference was about to begin. This was also why the number of people in the imperial city gradually increased. Some of them had come to participate in the competition, while others had come to watch the battle, wanting to see the pomp of the Imperial City. However, until now, the news of the Jingdou Dao Conference had still not spread. No one knew exactly how they would participate, or whether it would be a simple competition. ¡°Big news, big news.¡± At this moment, a group of people hurried back from outside the city gates, shouting. ¡°Dao brother, don¡¯t panic. Tell me, what is this big news?¡± Someone said. ¡°Outside the Imperial City, a big battle occurred, triggering a spatial crack. A ball of blood-red flame appeared, startling several Nirvana Realm experts.¡± ¡°What?¡± Many people were shocked. Not to mention what the blood-red flame was, just the Nirvana Realm experts were enough to shock them. One had to know that even in the imperial city, Nirvana Realm experts only appeared occasionally and ordinary people would not be able to see them. Now, these people actually started a battle because of a ball of flame, and it was more than a dozen of them. ¡°What kind of flame is it?¡± Lin Mo asked in puzzlement. The world was mysterious and endless. There were some strange places that could give birth to all kinds of strange treasures. If he could take a look at the blood-red divine flame, he might be able to gain something. However, he was a little worried now because according to that person, the place where the spatial crack appeared seemed to be the place where Jiang Xiyue and the others had killed the blood fiend mercenary group¡­ ¡°According to your description, that should be the blood soul flame. It¡¯s very helpful to the soul.¡± The tenth princess was very knowledgeable. After hearing the news, she made her assessment. In fact, the royal family had long said that the blood soul flame was buried in this area of the imperial city. This kind of flame was extremely mysterious. If an ordinary person touched it, they could nourish the soul. However, if they had any thoughts about the blood soul flame, they would suffer a backlash and their soul might even be burned by the blood soul flame. However, this was still very tempting. As long as one obtained the blood soul flame, their combat strength would be unparalleled, and their soul would undergo a perfect transformation. Hence, this was also the reason why that person had hurried back. It was to spread the news. Even if one could not participate in such a grand event, one could still gain a lot. ¡°Heavens, the blood soul flame from the Imperial City has appeared. Could it be that it will start a great war?¡± Xiao Yue frowned. She also knew a bit about the legend of the blood soul flame, but it was not detailed. Moreover, with the appearance of a supreme treasure of this level, people like them did not even have the qualifications to fight over it. As long as it appeared, it would attract people to fight over it. In the end, it was very likely that it would be a great battle between many Nirvana Realm experts. ¡°The eighth princess and the fourth prince are also there. It¡¯s said that their hangers-on exchanged blows and wanted to take the blood soul flame as soon as possible.¡± Another person rushed over, delivering first-hand news. The Jingdou Dao conference was about to begin. The eighth princess was already famous on the Board of Fame. If she could obtain the blood soul flame, her ranking would be close to the crown prince¡¯s. Due to the fourth prince¡¯s talent, his battle strength was much weaker than the eighth princess and the crown prince¡¯s. If he could obtain the blood soul flame, he would fill the gap and catch up. ¡°Why did the royal sister and brother arrive at the first moment?¡± The tenth princess frowned as if she had thought of something. She then shook her head. Just as everyone thought of going to take a look, the imperial city had already been cordoned off. One by one, soldiers surrounded the city walls and sealed off the area. ¡°An unexpected situation has occurred. You are allowed to enter the imperial city but not to leave.¡± A tiger¡¯s roar sounded out. In the next moment, a white tiger stepped on air and flew over with a middle-aged man on its back. It was the White Tiger Marquis. He had just come out of closed-door cultivation when he received an imperial edict that ordered him to seal off the imperial city. ¡°Even the White Tiger Marquis has come. What a surprise.¡± Someone sighed. The White Tiger Marquis did not belong to any prince. He only listened to the emperor. The only person who could allow him to mobilize the army was the emperor. ¡°The eighth princess and the fourth prince are fighting over the blood soul flame. You can¡¯t interfere. Go back.¡± A voice transmission entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears. Through the token, the White Tiger Marquis sensed Lin Mo in the crowd and sent a voice transmission to remind him. In fact, even if the White Tiger Marquis did not say anything, Lin Mo knew that he could not help. If a great battle broke out between Nirvana realm experts, he would be of no use other than to cause trouble in the past. Therefore, he did not have any objections to sealing the city. After walking around the streets, he returned to Yue Xuan. ¡°Field Lord, new news has arrived. The fourth Prince and eighth princess have been ordered to return to the palace. The Emperor has appeared.¡± Lin Mo sat in a courtyard. Under the pavilion, he slowly drank his wine as he listened to the reports of his maidservants. ¡°Oh, the blood soul flame has been captured by the Emperor?¡± He was a little surprised. could a rare object like the blood soul flame really be captured? Wasn¡¯t this emperor a little too powerful? He did not even hear much of the battle¡­ ¡°Not this one. The Blood Soul Flame has intelligence. Perhaps it sensed danger and escaped into the void.¡± The maid replied. Only an hour had passed. It was said that the emperor had not even arrived. However, it was said that in the space where the Blood Soul Flame was located, an expert had discovered some blood spirit crystals. This was a very magical crystal that contained the power of the Blood Soul Flame. It was very weak, but it was a very good tonic for the soul. Lin Mo was surprised. It seemed that there was still some harvest. He just did not know if Jiang Xiyue had obtained it¡­ Not long after, Jiang Xiyue returned and reported to Lin Mo that she was safe. Soon after, she was summoned into the imperial palace by an imperial edict from the emperor. What followed was the news confirmed by the Jingdou Dao conference that the competition would be held two months later. Apart from that, the emperor issued a reward. Outside the Imperial Palace, the Blood Soul Flame still existed. Whoever could provide the information, and if the information was true, would be heavily injured. The Blood Soul Flame¡¯s hiding methods were very powerful. Ordinary people did not dare to barge in, not even Nirvana realm experts. However, the emperor only asked people to provide information. As long as they found the blood soul flame, regardless of whether they caught it or not, there would be a big reward. ¡°What kind of big reward?¡±Lin Mo was interested. If the reward was good, he was willing to give it a try. ¡°A thumb-sized blood spirit crystal.¡± The maid answered. Lin Mo instantly sat up from the recliner, his eyes shining brightly. ¡°Are you serious?¡±Lin Mo asked. ¡°There¡¯s a reward list posted at the entrance of the palace.¡±The maid was startled and nodded. Blood Spirit Crystal, this kind of treasure that could improve one¡¯s soul was rare. A thumb-sized blood spirit crystal that could be used by the emperor as a reward, it must not be a simple treasure. Its value might be very high¡­ If Lin Mo could auction off this kind of heaven-defying treasure, then he might be able to get a better one. This way, his and Jiang Xiyue¡¯s strength would increase by a large margin¡­ Lin Mo was a little tempted. He wanted to take the risk and give it a try. Who knows, he might really be able to find it¡­ ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s talk about it when Xiyue returns.¡± He asked the maid to leave and found a pile of ancient books to look at the Blood Soul Flame. The more he observed, the more shocked he became. According to legend, the blood soul flame could condense a second soul. Not only could it help one comprehend the Dao, it could also provide a second life for the host. Chapter 335 - Auctioning Blood Spirit Crystals This second soul was the place where the blood soul flame resided. At a critical moment, it could replace the host¡¯s death. ¡°This ability can even increase along with the rise of one¡¯s realm¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in admiration. There was such a wondrous item in this world. However, the flaw was also very obvious. It required a lot of resources to condense the second soul. It was equivalent to starting from scratch, using up a lot of resources to allow the second soul to catch up to the host. In the future, cultivating would also require double the amount of resources¡­ However, though it was possible to obtain a second life, one flaw was neglected by the masses. That night, two people returned from Yue Xuan. The first to return was the travel-worn Tang Chen. He searched all over the mountain, searching for spirit herbs for Lin Mo. During this period of time, he even found a middle-grade spirit mine that no one had dug out. After digging around, he had dug out a total of 7 billion low-grade spirit stones. In total, he had dug out 700,000 middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you, elder tang. In order to prevent another theft, I¡¯ll take care of it personally.¡± Lin Mo did not stand on ceremony and accepted all of the spirit stones and spirit herbs. He checked and found that there was nothing missing. These spirit herbs were just enough to hold an auction. Tang Chen had just left when Jiang Xiyue came looking for him with a smile. ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± Lin Mo stood up and told Jiang Xiyue what had happened on his side. ¡°I already know. The blood fiend mercenary group is just taking revenge. It¡¯s not important.¡± Jiang Xiyue said and told Lin Mo that she had gained a lot this time. ¡°Here, this is yours.¡± A scarlet red crystal the size of a palm that was as red as blood appeared. It had just appeared and Lin Mo¡¯s soul was cleansed. ¡°This is¡­ A blood spirit crystal?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He did not expect Jiang Xiyue to bring him such a good thing¡­ ¡°Your soul power is already strong. After refining it, it will definitely become stronger,¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a smile. This time, they found more than ten pieces. She and the fourth prince found that the blood soul flame was a meritorious service, so they each got three pieces. The rest were taken away by the emperor. ¡°Alas, the blood soul flame is too strong. Elder Luo was injured, so he had to retreat¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a regretful look. Since Luo Haoyu was still a level five torturer of the Hall of punishment, he had to leave before the emperor¡¯s people came. Therefore, she didn¡¯t get more blood spirit crystals. ¡°Wait, three?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed and put the blood spirit crystal into the system space. [ Blood spirit crystal, palm-sized, extremely pure. It can effectively increase the power of the soul. No side effects. Grade: Spirit Level 9. ] Spirit-grade 9 blood spirit crystal. If he auctioned it, as long as his luck wasn¡¯t too bad, he would be able to get an earth-grade treasure. ¡°That¡¯s right, three pieces. One for each of us.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. She had already given Lin Die¡¯s piece to her and was already refining it¡­ ¡°What a pity¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with regret. He had lost a piece of blood spirit crystal¡­ ¡°What¡¯s a pity?¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face was filled with confusion. She didn¡¯t understand what Lin Mo was talking about. ¡°Xiyue, trust me. If you let me auction off these two pieces of blood spirit crystal, I¡¯ll be able to give you a better treasure.¡± Lin Mo said confidently. If he auctioned off the blood spirit crystals, not only would he get two stronger ones, but he would also get a large amount of spirit stones. What he lacked the most in his god-devouring body cultivation was spirit stones¡­ ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t believe him, because what he said was too unbelievable¡­ ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Trust me,¡± Lin Mo said solemnly. He looked at Jiang Xiyue, indicating that he wasn¡¯t joking. Looking at the serious Lin Mo, Jiang Xiyue took out the other piece of blood spirit crystal with some doubt. Lin Mo reached out to take it, but Jiang Xiyue grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s hand. A serious expression appeared on her face. She looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°You can¡¯t joke about such things. Are you sure?¡± Being stared at like this, Lin Mo smiled helplessly. He reached out and pulled Jiang Xiyue into his arms. ¡°My Princess, don¡¯t worry. This subordinate will definitely not disappoint you.¡± Looking at the beauty in his embrace, Lin Mo hugged her tightly. ¡°This subordinate? Who wants such a rude subordinate like you?¡± Jiang Xiyue rebuked, but she realized that her voice was a little soft. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s body trembled. Seeing that Lin Mo¡¯s gaze was a little fiery, she hurriedly broke free from his embrace. Her face was already red. ¡°Then¡­ Then I¡¯ll leave it to you¡­¡± With a slightly red face, she ran out of the room as if she was escaping and left Yue Xuan through the teleportation array. Lin Mo looked out of the window, recalling the scene just now in his mind, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth unknowingly. The next day! The sunlight shone into the room, and Lin Mo slowly woke up. After pushing open the door, the plans in his mind gradually surfaced. Very quickly, an important piece of news spread out. Not only the imperial city, but even outside, there was news that spread out. It could be seen how shocking this news was. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Yue Xuan is holding an auction tonight, and the grand finale is the blood spirit crystal?¡± ¡°What kind of joke is this? Who is the owner of this Yue Xuan? To find news of the blood soul flame so quickly and claim the reward from the emperor?¡± Many people refused to believe it, because only a day had passed. What kind of speed was this. ¡°Yue Xuan¡¯s owner is Lin Mo, right? He is ranked eighth on the Board of Fame and is a young genius.¡± Someone said, knowing about the recent news of Yue Xuan changing owners. ¡°Nonsense, Yue Xuan is only managed by Lin Mo. the true owner is the eighth princess.¡± Someone retorted. Yue Xuan was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s property, and many people in the imperial city knew about it. After all, the eighth princess was not qualified to fight for power in the early years. She was fond of doing business, and that was why she founded Yue Xuan. ¡°Could it be that the eighth princess got the news?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? The eighth princess and the fourth prince found out that the blood soul flame was a meritorious service and was rewarded with three blood spirit crystals.¡± ¡°There¡¯s even a notice posted at the entrance of the imperial palace. Why wouldn¡¯t she look at it herself?¡± Some people were discussing, but they were all very curious. SInce the blood spirit crystal was very precious, and the eighth princess was actually willing to take out a piece to be auctioned. This was very rare. Moreover, there were also people discussing behind her back. The eighth princess had many people under her care, and there were also many Nirvana Realm experts. The blood spirit crystal was so precious, didn¡¯t she need to win over people¡¯s hearts? It was actually auctioned off in public? ¡°Forget it, stop guessing. Perhaps the eighth princess is lacking spirit stones.¡± People came forward one after another. Yue Xuan¡¯s entrance had been trampled to the ground, and they were all here to make an appointment for the auction. In the end, Lin Mo had no choice but to step forward and settle the matter. He announced the rules, and those who placed spirit-grade treasures for auction could participate in the auction directly. Those who didn¡¯t put them up for auction would have to pay an entrance fee of 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This rule made many people dissatisfied, and they felt that Lin Mo was taking advantage of the situation. However, when Lin Mo mentioned the blood spirit crystal that would be auctioned tonight, the palm-sized one would be used as the finale. Apart from that, there were a total of 15 thumb-sized blood spirit crystals to be auctioned. Looking at such a heated situation, Lin Mo smiled faintly. At this moment, in the system space, he had split a blood spirit crystal into 15 pieces, all the size of a thumb. The system immediately stated its value. [ Blood crystal, the size of a thumb, extremely high purity, can effectively increase the power of the soul, no side effects, grade 6 spirit level ] Chapter 336 - The Crown Prince has Arrived With the Blood Spirit Crystal as a guide and Jiang Xiyue¡¯s reputation, Lin Mo felt extremely relaxed. He had earned a huge sum just from the entrance fee alone. ¡°So many people have come¡­¡± Although it was within his expectations, he was still a little stunned when these people really came. After all, he didn¡¯t seem to have enough treasures on him. Fortunately, there were quite a number of people who had sent them to bid. They could use them to support him. After all, these people were all here for the blood spirit crystal. ¡°It¡¯s my turn.¡± Lin Mo smoothly walked in and looked ahead. ¡°Thank you for your support. There are too many people here. I¡¯m greatly surprised.¡± He walked onto the stage and smiled as he greeted everyone. ¡°The crown prince is here. Step back quickly.¡± Suddenly, just as Lin Mo was about to announce the start of the auction, a shout was heard, startling the entire venue. A team of guards walked in quickly and cleared a path, leading straight to the private room closest to the auction stage. That was the first seat. Lin Mo had never seen anyone use it before, and Jiang Xiyue had also warned him not to send anyone in. ¡°Looks like this is reserved for the crown prince¡­¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. The crown prince, Jiang Cheng, had also come. Was it for the last blood spirit crystal. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s not impossible to sell it to a competitor. As long as I pay the price truthfully, it¡¯s fine.¡± He did not dislike the crown prince auctioning off the blood spirit crystal. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to pay the price¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the crown prince to come to visit us. Please forgive me for not welcoming you.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and saluted, looking at the person walking in the middle. The crown prince was extremely young. He was in his early twenties and was about the same age as Lin Mo. He was dressed in a plain white robe. Just by looking at his appearance, he looked like an elegant young master from the capital. The crown prince held a folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it. He sized up Lin Mo from head to toe and nodded. ¡°Why are we auctioning off the blood spirit crystal?¡± The crown prince¡¯s voice was calm, as if he was asking about something unimportant. ¡°¡­¡± The crowd was a little quiet. They looked at the crown prince, then at Lin Mo, choosing to remain silent. They hadn¡¯t expected the crown prince to personally come. It seemed that the value of the blood spirit crystal far exceeded their imaginations. ¡°Uh¡­ I hope the crown prince will forgive me, but I can¡¯t tell you.¡± Lin Mo said in neither a servile nor an overbearing manner. His words almost shocked everyone. This was the crown prince, an existence that was below one person and above ten thousand people in the entire imperial city. It was fine if you just cupped your fists and saluted him. The crown prince actually didn¡¯t get his question answered¡­ ¡°According to what I know, the ones who obtained the blood spirit crystal were fourth brother and eighth sister, right? You are eighth sister¡¯s hanger-on, helping her take care of Yue Xuan. ¡°That means that the order to auction off the Blood Spirit Crystal was given by eighth sister.¡± The crown prince continued to speak, completely ignoring the people around him. He looked at Lin Mo, his lips moved slightly, and a voice transmission entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears, ¡°Even if my royal sister could kill Jin Lie, she wouldn¡¯t dare to say that she could kill him under the protection of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. ¡°You have such talent, yet you¡¯re under her tutelage, yet you can¡¯t even get a single blood spirit crystal? ¡°Hehe, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. Jin Lie is dead, and the Heavenly King Manor wants me to kill you, but I lack a helper¡­ ¡°If you come, I¡¯ll give you a blood spirit crystal.¡± The crown prince smiled, opened his folding fan, gently fanned it, and slowly walked into the private room at the front. The remaining guards surrounded the private room, protecting the crown prince¡¯s safety. ¡°I¡¯m only here to participate in the auction. All of you can bid legally. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± The crown prince laughed softly. This gentle laughter also eased the atmosphere of the auction. With the crown prince¡¯s arrival, the others naturally did not dare to be negligent. In the private rooms, the tenth princess, the second prince, and even the seventh princes spoke up and chatted with the crown prince. ¡°The fourth prince isn¡¯t here. It looks like he¡¯s refining the blood spirit crystal.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. The appearance of the crown prince actually caused all the important figures hidden in the dark to appear. ¡°Alright everyone, let¡¯s invite our first auction item.¡± After Lin Mo adjusted himself, he began to host the auction. Following his voice, a maid walked up and carried a silver plate. The plate was covered with a red cloth. Lin Mo lifted it up, and the gazes of everyone present focused on it. In an instant, an icy cold aura swept through the entire auction hall. A pale blue petal lay quietly on the silver plate. This petal was the petal of a lotus flower. There were strange patterns on it and it was crystal clear, as if it was carved out of ice. Just the petal alone highlighted its beauty. The icy cold aura on it also made everyone clear-headed. As soon as it appeared, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on it. Lin Mo looked at everyone¡¯s shocked gazes and nodded slightly. He introduced, ¡°In the extremely cold lands, there is a lotus flower called the ice god lotus.¡± ¡°The ice god lotus is a well-deserved rare treasure. Its grade can even reach the earth-grade.¡± ¡°If ice and water attributed cultivators appear, they might be able to comprehend a sliver of the Dao. It¡¯s extremely precious. Although it won¡¯t directly raise one¡¯s cultivation level, it will greatly increase one¡¯s combat strength and talent. ¡°However, it¡¯s a pity that the seller only managed to obtain a single petal of the ice god lotus in the end. ¡°As for the true ice god Lotus, the last time it appeared in the entire eastern continent was a thousand years ago.¡± ¡°This petal of the ice god lotus has a grade of spirit tier 5. The starting bid is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, everyone¡¯s high spirits were immediately lowered. The entire place was silent. 300,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This was the price of an ordinary spirit rank 5 spirit herb. And this was the starting price of this ice god lotus petal. If someone were to fight over it, the price would far exceed the price of a spirit rank 5 spirit herb. However, on second thought, the ice god lotus was incomparably precious. It was rare to see it even in a thousand years. It wasn¡¯t impossible to buy it at a high price. ¡°350,000 middle-grade spirit stones, I¡¯ll take it.¡± The first person to bid came from the private room. From the voice, Lin Mo recognized that it was the tenth princess¡¯s voice. When he thought about how the tenth princess carried an icy cold aura every time she appeared, it seemed like she was determined to get the ice god lotus. 350,000 might not be able to scare everyone away. ¡°400,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± As expected, the tenth princess had only bid for a short while when someone else raised the price by 50,000. ¡°500,000.¡± The tenth princess instantly raised the price. This time, she raised the price by 100,000, shocking everyone. As expected of a princess, she had so many spirit stones in her hands. ¡°Tsk tsk, 500,000, it already exceeds the value of the ice god lotus petal¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. This tenth princess was really rich. In the private room on the other side, the people inside were somewhat hesitant. They wanted to continue bidding, but they could feel the tenth princess¡¯ determination. After thinking for a while, they shut their mouths and stopped participating in the auction. ¡°500,000 going once. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± ¡°500,000 going twice¡­¡± ¡°500,000 going thrice. sold. Alright, Congratulations to the tenth princess for successfully bidding for the ice god lotus petal.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and completed the first item at an extremely high price. Chapter 337 - Scraps [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit level rank 5 ice god lotus petals ] [ You have successfully triggered the 9,000 times auction rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spirit level rank 9 extreme evil dragon lotus petals ] To trigger the 9,000 times auction rebate on the first try, this kind of multiple was rare. Moreover, the treasures that the rebate gave were very powerful. The extreme evil dragon lotus was an ice spirit item that was even purer than the ice god Lotus. Furthermore, it was said that the extreme evil dragon lotus was a variant of the ice god Lotus. It was nurtured by dragon¡¯s blood the moment the ice god lotus was born. Although it was a sub-dragon and the dragon¡¯s blood was not pure, it was still extraordinary. Under such harsh conditions, the ice god Lotus had a chance of evolving into the extreme evil dragon lotus. ¡°When Xiyue absorbs the true dragon¡¯s heart blood, she can be faster with the protection of the extreme evil dragon lotus petals.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. The items that were being auctioned off this time were too suitable. ¡°Alright, next is the second item. It¡¯s also a very precious treasure.¡± He waved his hand and a maid came up with a silver plate. It was still covered by the red cloth and Lin Mo lifted it up. In an instant, an extremely pure life essence reverberated in the surroundings. ¡°Everyone, please observe for a moment. I will explain to you later.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and had the maid carry the silver plate towards the crown prince¡¯s private room. Not long after, the maid walked out, and then walked towards the second prince¡¯s private room, followed closely by the seventh Prince and the tenth princess. Next were the other private rooms. Some were the princes and nobles of the imperial city. Some were people from the Holy Land who had brought their own juniors to participate in the Jingdou Dao Conference. When the maid walked out of the last private room, Lin Mo finally spoke. ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone is very confused as to why an ordinary stone would have such a dense life energy, right?¡± ¡°Perhaps there are already people who can tell. This object is an ancient mine of life, but it¡¯s not complete. It¡¯s just scrap material that has been cut off, and it¡¯s even been absorbed.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. It was a scrap material and had been absorbed before, when Tang Chen handed it to him, he still didn¡¯t know what it was. It wasn¡¯t until he kept it in the system space that he understood that it was actually an extremely precious legendary ore. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Everyone was shocked. The ancient life mine was a priceless treasure. It was said that it only needed a small fragment to save a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. The piece in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was already extremely precious. Although it had been absorbed, it was still a scrap, but at the critical moment, it could definitely bring people back from the dead. ¡°The scrap material of the ancient mine of life, grade 5 spirit rank. The starting price is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. However, at this moment, no one was bidding. Everyone looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. The ancient life mine. They had only heard of such a treasure in legends. It was a heaven-grade treasure, one that could only be found by chance. Even if it was just a piece of scrap material that had been absorbed, it would still be able to reach the level of a spirit grade 5. However, what everyone was hesitating about was whether what Lin Mo said was true. If it was just a piece of ore that contained life energy, it would be a huge loss. ¡°Everyone, feel free to bid. I guarantee that what I said is true. If it¡¯s fake, feel free to look for me.¡± As if he could see everyone¡¯s concerns, Lin Mo immediately spoke up. In reality, if it wasn¡¯t for the system¡¯s reasons, he wouldn¡¯t have believed that this was just a side piece of the ancient life ore. After hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, everyone in the hall was already tempted. However, the people in the hall also knew that they definitely had no chance. This was because someone had already made a bid in the private room. An unfamiliar man¡¯s voice sounded out, ¡°400,000.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Someone had already made a bid, so this scrap of the ancient life mine could be sold for a high price. He didn¡¯t believe that these people would be able to endure it. Especially the seventh prince and the crown prince. These two were contenders for the throne. Assassination attempts were commonplace to them. The slightest mistake would result in their heads being chopped off. If they could obtain this piece of scrap material, it would be equivalent to having a chance at rebirth. This opportunity was very precious to them. Hence, the seventh prince immediately made a bid. ¡°500,000.¡± The seventh prince directly increased the bid by 100,000. Moreover, from the looks of it, he would definitely increase the bid. For a moment, he actually scared off those who wanted to bid. ¡°Alright, the seventh prince is willing to bid 500,000. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher?¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and wasn¡¯t anxious. However, his gaze would occasionally look towards the crown prince¡¯s private room. Could it be that the crown prince wasn¡¯t interested in the scraps of the ancient life mine? ¡°550,000.¡± Another person bid, wanting to compete with the seventh prince. ¡°600,000.¡± The seventh Prince didn¡¯t show any signs of weakness and immediately called out the bid in the next second. The price of 600,000 was almost the limit of this ancient life mine. ¡°600,000 going once!¡± ¡°600,000 going twice¡­¡± ¡°600,000 going thrice, sold. Congratulations, seventh prince, for successfully bidding for the scraps of the ancient life mine.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer. Up until the end, the crown prince did not participate in the bidding, which made him very surprised. Could it be that the crown prince was so confident that he wouldn¡¯t be killed, and even if someone wanted to assassinate him, he could still escape? ¡°Sigh, forget it, I can¡¯t be bothered with it.¡± It didn¡¯t matter who he sold it to anyway. He had killed Yuan Cang, the right-hand man that the seventh prince had found with great difficulty. As for the Crown Prince¡¯s study companion Jin Lie, he had also been killed, and the true dragon blood that he was about to obtain had also been cut off. These were all enemies, and it didn¡¯t matter who he sold it to. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off scraps of the ancient life mine, rank 5 spirit rank. ] [ Successful triggering of 10,000 times the auction return. ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining a fragment of the ancient life mine, spirit-grade tier 9. ] The auction return was 10,000 times, and it was a true ancient life mine. Lin Mo almost cried out in shock. Although it was a fragment, it was a real ancient mine of life. If word got out, even the emperor would come here to auction it off, because the ancient mine of life had an extraordinary meaning. ¡°My luck changed today? Good things have appeared one after another¡­¡± Lin Mo was very happy. He was very satisfied with this result. He hoped that it would continue to be like this, earning spirit stones and obtaining supreme treasures¡­ The quality of the next items in the auction decreased slightly, and their origins weren¡¯t that great anymore. However, most of them were spirit medicines, causing everyone to fight over them. Perhaps it was because the Dao Conference of the capital was about to begin, that spirit pills and spirit medicines were selling especially well. Especially the recovery and healing types, they were all being auctioned off at higher prices. Lin Mo gradually discovered a pattern. If he earned a lot of spirit stones in his auction, then the rewards given back by the system would be less. There was even a spirit rank 6 spirit pill. Lin Mo planned to try his luck and see if he could get a higher ranked one. This way, Jiang Xiyue would be able to absorb the true dragon¡¯s heart¡¯s blood and gain a level of protection. However, the healing type spirit pill was too tempting and was bought by the Holy Maiden of the ancient Moon Holy Land, Xiao Yue, for one million middle-grade spirit stones. This price allowed Lin Mo to earn a lot, but it was also very touching, triggering ten times the price¡­ The rebate was only giving Lin Mo a spirit rank 6 spirit pill, the change was negligible¡­ Chapter 338 - How to Create Spatial Talismans As for the auction items that no one was interested in, Lin Mo didn¡¯t earn much, but the system¡¯s rebates gave him a high probability of obtaining good items. The auction continued, and every item was sold with satisfaction. Perhaps everyone felt that it was too dull, after all, there hadn¡¯t been any particularly good treasures appearing before. Seeing the atmosphere in the auction hall gradually drop, Lin Mo smiled faintly. He beckoned for a maid to bring a silver plate over. The red cloth was lifted, and a scroll that was emitting a silver luster appeared. This unique fluctuation attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Next, this auction item is going to be incredible. This is a method to create spatial talismans.¡± ¡°Everyone, you must know that the method to create spatial talismans is very special and precious. It¡¯s hard to find in this world.¡± ¡°The scroll in my hand can create a spirit rank 5 spatial talisman. It can tear through space and escape.¡± ¡°As for distance, it can travel at a speed of a thousand li in a minute.¡± This speed was already not bad, and it was the method to create spatial talismans. It was even more precious. ¡°The production method of a spirit rank 5 spatial talisman. The starting price is 1,000,000 middle grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer and announced the starting price. ¡°It¡¯s actually the production method of the spatial talisman?¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s introduction, everyone instantly sat up straight. Even the crown prince wasn¡¯t an exception, and his interest was piqued. Before this, he had never made a move, no matter how high the value of the items in the auction was. But now, with the spatial Talisman¡¯s production method being auctioned, it had finally piqued the crown prince¡¯s interest. Although there were some spatial talisman production methods available on the market, the highest one was at the first tier of the spirit grade. Even so, they were still heavily guarded, and anyone who wanted to buy them would have to pay an astronomical price. Now, what Lin Mo had taken out was actually able to produce a fifth tier spirit grade method¡­ This caused a huge commotion. Some people even suspected that it was fake. No one would take out such a treasure and sell it. ¡°I guarantee that it¡¯s genuine. Everyone, just appraise it.¡± Lin Mo smiled and got the maid to bring him into the private room for them to examine. In any case, the production method was very complicated. It was impossible to memorize it just by looking at it for a while. One had to study it carefully over and over again. In fact, the crown prince, the second prince, and the seventh prince both expressed their desire to bid for it after they had just finished reading it. The three of them showed great determination. No matter how high the price was, they had to bid for it. This was because this represented a kind of foundation. If they could obtain it, the strength of the forces under their command would increase greatly. Moreover, when they were assassinated by the enemy, they could also escape at the first opportunity. It could be said that this spatial talisman was something that all strategists fought over¡­ After the silver scroll was shown to everyone, a maid brought it over. Lin Mo placed the auction hammer down and announced the start of the auction. ¡°1,050,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± In the hall, someone immediately called out the price. The value of this item was simply too huge. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I forgot to say it. Every time I raise the price, it must not be lower than 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He didn¡¯t intend to sell this production method cheaply. After Yan Rong was rejected by the ancient flame sect¡¯s inheritance runes, Jiang Xiyue, Luo Haoyu, and the others also started to participate in the runes. Among them, this production method was obtained by Jiang Xiyue. Lin Mo wanted to auction it off, wanting to return a better profit¡­ ¡°1.1 million!¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, that person wasn¡¯t angry and once again called out the price. However, just as he shouted out the price, an increase in the price was heard from the other side. ¡°1,500,000.¡± A one-time increase of 400,000. The person who raised the price came from the private room. He was a noble of nobility and did not lack spirit stones. ¡°Hehe, this kind of supreme treasure is worth more than this price¡­¡± Amidst the bidding voices of the crowd, the seventh Prince¡¯s voice was heard. He was extremely eager for this production method. ¡°2.5 million.¡± Most of the people who had participated in the bidding earlier were nobles. However, now that the seventh prince had participated in the bidding, many people were scared off. The price of 2.5 million had already exceeded their expectations. Moreover, it was only the seventh prince who was bidding. The second prince and the crown prince had already said that they wanted it, but they had yet to make a bid. ¡°His Highness the seventh prince has bid 2.5 million. Is there any higher price?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and said excitedly. 2.5 million, the price was getting higher and higher. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Let¡¯s snatch it. This young master will reap the benefits of the fisherman¡­¡± A sum of spirit stones that would not cost anything would enter his account. After this auction ended, he would be able to go into seclusion to cultivate. Although he didn¡¯t dare to guarantee a breakthrough, it would at least allow his strength to improve a little. That¡¯s right, such a huge amount of spirit stones and resources wouldn¡¯t allow him to make a breakthrough. The further he progressed in the God Devouring Body, the more difficult it would be for him to make a breakthrough. Lin Mo had never relaxed his cultivation. However, his daily cultivation could only barely supplement the requirements of the God Devouring Body. It could be said that his strength hadn¡¯t improved at all. It was just that after cultivating, it had become more solid. While Lin Mo was thinking, the crown prince had already made his move, competing with the seventh prince and the second prince. The three of them weren¡¯t willing to give in. By the time Lin Mo reacted, it had already been raised to 7.5 million. ¡°7.6 million¡­¡± The seventh prince spoke, his voice coming from within the private room, but it was already filled with a hint of anger. Even he would have to go through a bit of gathering before he could take out this price of spirit stones. Moreover, once he took it out, he wouldn¡¯t be able to purchase anything else for the time being, not to mention the blood spirit crystal¡­ ¡°Eight million. This is my final price. If you can still go higher, I¡¯ll give up¡­¡± The crown prince raised the price once more. His tone wasn¡¯t very calm either, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. Even if he had the authority to mobilize the national treasury, he still had to report it. If he took too much, his father wouldn¡¯t be happy¡­ Moreover, because of the incident at the Qinghuai Holy Land, people were saying that he had been deceived by evil cultivators and that he was not as capable as the eighth princess¡­ Such words also caused him to lose the authority to supervise the country and suffer heavy losses¡­ ¡°Forget it. Since the crown prince wants it, it¡¯s naturally not easy for me to fight for it¡­¡± The second prince said with a smile. Eight million was too much for him. Even if he took it out, he did not have many spirit stones to refine talismans. ¡°The crown prince has bid eight million, is there a higher price?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. ¡°Since second brother has already given up, then it¡¯s not good for me to fight for it.¡± The seventh prince also said. Eight Million was a burden to him, and he wasn¡¯t willing to accept it. These two planned to keep the spirit stones and fight for the last blood spirit crystal¡­ ¡°Alright, Congratulations to the crown prince for spending eight million to successfully auction off the spatial talisman production method.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. 8 million wasn¡¯t a small amount. If he continued to add on, it would almost be comparable to the price of a true dragon bloodline¡­ [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off the production method of a spirit grade tier 5 spatial talisman production formula ] [ Successfully triggered 2,000 times the auction profit ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the production method of a spirit rank 7 spatial talisman production formula ] As expected, the system wouldn¡¯t give a high multiple for an auction that made a huge profit unless one was extremely lucky¡­ ¡°Not bad, Spirit Level 7, enough for Xiyue to arm her army¡­¡± Chapter 339 - The Blood Spiritual Crystal Auction Begins After a brief observation, Lin Mo placed it to the side. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a fragment of the Enlightenment Stone. I¡¯ve set it at Spirit Rank 1. ¡°Because it¡¯s too small, it can only be of this rank. However, the value of the Enlightenment Stone is still quite high.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, he lifted up the red cloth in front of him, revealing a small and exquisite Stone. This was something he had obtained when he was being hunted down. This business was done perfectly. He had earned a remnant scroll of the immortal scripture and two pieces of the Enlightenment Stone. One of the pieces was even dripped by the blood essence of the person on the Immortal Ascension platform, and the system directly gave it a spirit grade 9. If it was a little bigger, it would most likely be at the Earth grade¡­ At this moment, everyone present was extremely shocked. They didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to even take out a fragment of the Enlightenment Stone. Although it was only a spirit rank 1, its rarity wasn¡¯t inferior to a treasure above the spirit grade 8. ¡°This enlightenment Stone, the starting price is 500,000 mid-grade spirit Stones.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and auctioned the Enlightenment Stone. No matter what, it was a loss. With different talents, the Enlightenment Stone would have different effects. The performance-to-price ratio was determined by the talent of the user. ¡°Haha, Field Owner Lin, you really surprised me. You even have the Enlightenment Stone¡­ ¡°But, why don¡¯t you keep it for yourself?¡± The crown prince¡¯s voice sounded, and he felt very strange. The resources that Jiang Xiyue could mobilize were not enough. Although her purple Moon Palace occupied a vast area, it was still the tip of the iceberg compared to the entire palace. Regardless of whether it was Lin Mo or Jiang Xiyue who used the fragment of the Enlightenment Stone, they could both receive a qualitative improvement. Now, Jiang Xiyue had left a blood spirit crystal for herself, and the fragment of the Enlightenment Stone was not given to Lin Mo to use either¡­ ¡°Is there a lack of resources? Maybe I can really rope Lin Mo over¡­¡± The crown prince pondered for a long time in the private room, but in the end, he could not guess what Jiang Xiyue was up to. After making up his mind, he directly called out the price. ¡°Three million.¡± At this time, everyone had already raised the price of the Enlightenment Stone fragment to 2.5 million. A noble in the private room was very eager for the Enlightenment Stone and wanted to use it to break through. However, the crown prince suddenly raised the price to three million, causing his face to turn pale. ¡°Your Highness the Crown Prince has finally made a move? I thought you weren¡¯t interested.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The price of the Enlightenment Stone fragment was about the same. Above that, no matter how talented one was, the effect of cultivation was about the same as three million middle-grade spirit Stones. ¡°I have no reason to give up on such a treasure.¡± ¡°Second brother, seventh brother, don¡¯t you want it?¡± The Crown Prince said with a faint smile. A faint smile also came from the seventh prince¡¯s private room. ¡°The crown prince¡¯s talent is obvious to all. Seventh Brother, you won¡¯t be embarrassed.¡± ¡°His Highness the crown prince wants it. As his subjects, how can we compete for it?¡± The second prince also laughed. Since the two princes had given up, naturally, no one dared to bid. Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and said with a professional smile, ¡°Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince. You have bought the fragment of the Enlightenment Stone at the price of three million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± After auctioning off this fragment, Lin Mo hesitated for a moment before putting away the immortal scripture fragment and the other enlightenment Stone. These two treasures were not simple. If they were to be taken out, it would be difficult for Jiang Xiyue to explain. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning off a spirit rank 1 Enlightenment Stone fragment ] [ You have successfully triggered the 5,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit rank 5 Enlightenment Stone fragment ] It was still an Enlightenment Stone fragment, but it had changed from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist. ¡°Alright everyone, the next auction will be the treasure that everyone is looking at.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The blood spirit crystal is now being auctioned.¡± There was a total of sixteen blood spirit crystals, of which fifteen were the size of a thumb and were at the sixth level of the spirit level. As for the last one, it was the size of an adult¡¯s palm. He believed that the price of the 9th tier of the spirit grade would be more than ten million¡­ ¡°The starting price for the first blood spirit crystal is 500,000. Each increment cannot be lower than 100,000. The bidding starts now.¡± Lin Mo said. 500,000 was the starting price for an ordinary spirit rank 6 treasure. However, the price for the blood spirit crystal was definitely not this price. Just as he announced the start of the auction, someone raised the price to 1 million. ¡°1.2 million.¡± ¡°1.3 million.¡± ¡°1.5 million.¡± The scene was once heated. Moreover, this price did not come from the private room, but from the hall. ¡°So popular¡­¡± The crowd fought over the blood spirit crystal. In the end, an old man in the hall took it away at the price of 2.5 million. ¡°Congratulations to this senior for successfully taking away this fast blood spirit crystal at the price of 2.5 million.¡± The first blood spirit crystal was just a test, but he hadn¡¯t expected it to be so explosive. It seemed like he had underestimated the price of the blood spirit crystal. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off a spirit rank 6 blood spirit crystal ] [ Successfully triggered 1,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining a spirit rank 7 blood spirit crystal ] The system¡¯s profit from the auction was an even bigger blood spirit crystal, which made him very satisfied. After getting the maid to keep the piece of blood spirit crystal, Lin Mo looked at the dejected crowd in the hall. If you don¡¯t fight for the first piece, you might not get the next one. He waved his hand, and a maid walked up from behind. She held a silver plate, and Lin Mo lifted the red cloth. On the silver plate, there were two pieces of blood spirit crystal lying quietly. They were the size of a thumb, and as soon as they appeared, they gave off a shocking aura. ¡°The next blood spirit crystals, other than the finale one, will be divided into seven groups. Each group will have two pieces, and the starting price will be two million.¡± Lin Mo slowly introduced them, and the atmosphere in the hall became more subtle. Some people looked at the blood spirit crystals on the stage, and even had the thought of going forward to snatch them. Ignoring these people¡¯s gazes, Lin Mo looked at the many private rooms in front of him. He knew that it was time for these people to make their move. The upcoming auction might not have anything to do with the people in the hall. ¡°2.1 million!¡± After a short period of silence, a hoarse voice came from the private room at the side. Everyone could tell that this was the White Tiger Marquis. Didn¡¯t he have no money after buying the dragon blood and martial arts? How could he still participate in the auction now¡­ ¡°Hehe, White Tiger Marquis, you got a great bargain last time. Don¡¯t snatch this blood spirit crystal.¡± After the White Tiger Marquis called out the price, an old man¡¯s voice came from the private room on the other side. ¡°Haha, you¡¯re right. However, why did the White Tiger Marquis only raise the price by 100,000? Is he out of money?¡± Another person said, his tone full of ridicule. The White Tiger Marquis did not speak and remained silent. However, a faint killing intent emanated from his private room¡­ ¡°2,500,000.¡± Seeing that the White Tiger Marquis did not speak, the two of them felt bored and chose to bid. ¡°2,800,000.¡± ¡°3,000,000.¡± The two of them were fighting over the bid. Lin Mo looked at the two private rooms and recalled the information the maid had shown him. Chapter 340 - Blood Soul Stone The one who ridiculed him was the head of the Lu family of the imperial city. It was said that one of the emperor¡¯s concubines was from the Lu family. ¡°But it seems like he has some grudges with the White Tiger Marquis¡­¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything as he watched the two of them compete for the price. The one competing with the head of the Lu family was a marquis. He was very powerful and was very eager for the blood spirit crystal. Soon, the two of them raised the price to 5.2 million¡­ ¡°5.5 million. Head of the Lu family, if you still want to raise the price, then I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± The Marquis said. The two blood spirit crystals were auctioned at a discount. Lin Mo didn¡¯t have any objections to this. If he earned less spirit stones, his system¡¯s rebate would be higher. In the end, the head of the Lu family didn¡¯t make a bid. These two blood spirit crystals were also bought by the Marquis at a price of 5.5 million middle-grade spirit stones. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning off two spirit rank 6 blood spirit crystals ] [ Successfully triggered 4,000 times the auction rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining two spirit rank 8 blood spirit crystals ] Spirit rank 8 was already half the size of a palm. Adding up the two, it was equivalent to a complete piece. He did not expect the system to be so generous. ¡°That¡¯s great! If the multiplier keeps going like this, I¡¯ll get seven pieces¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. This round was a bumper harvest. He had obtained a treasure that was enough for him to break through. ¡°After this auction is over, I¡¯ll go out with Xiyue and enter seclusion¡­¡± ¡°Alright, the auction will continue. Everyone, please start bidding.¡± Lin Mo smiled and the bidding began. With a rough estimate of the price, the participants knew their limits. The crown prince, second prince, and seventh prince bid for the remaining six portions. The remaining three portions were all bid for by the tenth princess. This made the people in the surrounding private rooms unhappy. Although you¡¯re the tenth princess, monopolizing like this is a little immoral. However, when the voice of the Gu Yue Holy Land¡¯s saint, Xiao Yue, and Lei Ming Holy Land¡¯s Ji Hong rang out from the tenth princess¡¯ private room, the sounds of discussion disappeared. Xiao Yue had the status of number nine on the Board of Fame, and although Ji Hong¡¯s auction was hovering around the top twenty. However, her brother was Ji Zixiao, ranked seventh on the Board of Fame. Clearly, Ji Hong was auctioning it for her brother. ¡°I see. I thought that the tenth princess intended to monopolize my auction house, but I¡¯m flattered.¡± Lin Mo stepped forward to mediate and made a small joke. ¡°Haha, Young Master Lin Sure knows how to joke. Your last item is too important. I can¡¯t afford it¡­¡± The tenth princess¡¯ laughter resounded throughout the auction house. Everyone in the hall, who had become spectators, nodded one after another. What she said was right. Even some of the nobles in the private room did not dare to participate in the competition. Once they did, they would definitely be involved in the royal family¡¯s dispute. They, the courtiers, should just watch from the side. As long as they did not take sides, they would not be liquidated in the end. Although the benefits were less, at least their lives were saved. ¡°The moment that everyone has been looking forward to has finally arrived. Everyone, this is the final item of this month¡¯s auction.¡± ¡°Spirit rank 9 blood spirit crystal. The starting bid is 10 million mid-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be lower than 1 million¡­¡± Lin Mo lifted up the last piece of red cloth, his voice trembling. The number of people who were qualified to participate in this auction could be counted on one¡¯s fingers. Regardless of status or wealth, perhaps only the crown prince was qualified. Furthermore, it was the crown prince who had used the treasury. The value of this blood spirit stone far exceeded its grade, no one would take it out and sell it. Even if it was exchanged, it could also be exchanged for an earth-grade treasure. The only one who could take out such a treasure was probably the entire royal family. However, there was only the crown prince here, so he had no opponents at all¡­ In the end, the crown prince would be able to pick up a huge bargain. ¡°You¡¯d better get a bargain. That way, I can also get a huge bargain¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed. If it wasn¡¯t for the system not allowing it, he would have even wanted to seal the top price of the blood spirit crystal, forcing himself to lose money. However, the system had clearly prohibited this kind of illegal operation¡­ ¡°What, 10 million to get the starting price?¡± Everyone was stunned. Wasn¡¯t the final item from the last time, the true dragon bloodline, sold for a high price of 10 million¡­ Why was Lin Mo¡¯s starting price now 10 million? What a joke. ¡°Even this price is too low. To sell the blood spirit crystal like this, what a loss¡­¡± Someone said. Lin Mo¡¯s auction might seem so hot, but the price was ridiculously high. He had earned quite a lot of spirit stones, but he had lost out on the blood spirit crystal in the end. No one knew what the eighth princess was thinking. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not expensive. I¡¯ll bid 11 million.¡± The crown prince took the lead and shouted out the price. However, even if he had money, he wouldn¡¯t randomly bid. If Lin Mo hadn¡¯t said that he would raise the minimum price by 1 million, he would have only wanted to raise it by 500,000, or even 100,000¡­ ¡°Haha, Please take the liberty, Your Highness. I really want this blood spirit crystal. 12 million.¡± The second prince spoke. At this time, it was no longer a matter of whether or not he should be offended. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to obtain such a piece of blood spirit crystal. ¡°Since both brothers want it, I¡¯ll join in. 13 million.¡± The seventh prince spoke straightforwardly. The so-called bidding was meaningless. After the crown prince bid 15 million, the second prince and the seventh prince both stopped. They couldn¡¯t raise the price by two million at once. As princes, recklessly bidding would have a great impact, and it would be disgraceful if they were found out. Moreover, they really didn¡¯t have that much money¡­ ¡°15 million going once!¡± ¡°15 million going twice!¡± ¡°No one is willing to bid anymore? This blood spirit crystal might very well be the last one in the past hundred years.¡± Lin Mo continued speaking. Only the crown prince, second prince, and seventh Prince were bidding. The other marquises had yet to make a sound. After waiting for a moment, the venue was still silent. Lin Mo helplessly shook his head. ¡°Fifteen million three times. Congratulations, Your Highness, for successfully bidding for this treasure.¡± After the auction ended, there weren¡¯t many people competing for the final item. However, the price was really high. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because of the limit of one million per bid¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. If there wasn¡¯t this limit, the second prince and the seventh Prince would probably be happy to add another five hundred thousand or so to disgust the crown prince. This way, he would be able to earn another one million or so middle grade spirit stones¡­ [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off a spirit rank 9 blood spirit crystal ] [ Due to the heavy losses in this auction, the system has compensated you and triggered the 90,000 times auction return ] [Congratulations, you have obtained an Earth Rank 9 blood soul stone.] The system had indeed compensated him, although it wasn¡¯t as terrifying as the 100,000 times True Dragon¡¯s heart blood. However, this Earth rank 9 treasure still made Lin Mo almost laugh out loud. ¡°A blood soul stone, isn¡¯t that the evolved version of the blood spirit crystal? This thing can allow the soul to be reborn, it¡¯s the place where the blood soul flame resides¡­¡± After examining it carefully, Lin Mo was greatly shocked. The value of this blood soul stone had exceeded his expectations. The soul to be reborn, his control over his own strength would rise to another level. Wouldn¡¯t his God Devouring Body be able to rise once again¡­ Chapter 341 - Solicitation of the Crown Prince He controlled the excitement in his heart and announced the end of the auction. It took him nearly an hour to complete the handover with the customers. When those people finally received the blood spirit crystals, the joy on their faces was almost impossible to hide. ¡°Where¡¯s the crown prince?¡± Lin Mo finished preparing in the welcoming hall. All the bidders left with their treasures, including the seventh prince and the fourth prince. However, the crown prince did not see them. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin, sorry for the wait.¡± With this thought in mind, the door to the welcoming hall was pushed open, and the crown prince slowly walked in. Behind him were the people from the Heavenly King Mansion. When they saw Lin Mo, their killing intent instantly soared. The crown prince waved his hand, gesturing for the people from the Heavenly King Mansion not to come in. He came to Lin Mo alone. ¡°Your Highness, Crown Prince.¡± Lin Mo stood up and bowed, doing what he should do. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so polite. I still have some things to talk to you about.¡± The crown prince smiled and walked over to Lin Mo to finish his work. He took out a beast leather belt and threw it in front of Lin Mo. Streams of spiritual energy emerged from the bag and Lin Mo opened it. In an instant, the spiritual energy density in the entire reception hall increased by a hundredfold¡­ ¡°A total of 32,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± The crown prince opened his mouth and said. Attending Lin Mo¡¯s auction this time had caused him to spend a huge amount of money. Putting everything else aside, if he wanted to replenish his depleted national treasury, he would have to dig out more than 30 mid-grade spirit veins¡­ Even if he had many subordinates, he would still need quite a bit of time. ¡°Many thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince.¡± Lin Mo made a quick count, and after making sure that everything was safe, he took out all the treasures that the crown prince had bought. Amongst these, the most precious treasure was the palm-sized blood spirit crystal. With this, the Crown Prince¡¯s soul power would greatly increase, and his battle prowess would also greatly increase. It was hard to imagine how strong he would be after he entered seclusion. However, what surprised Lin Mo was that the crown prince actually kept the largest piece of the blood spirit crystal. After keeping the other treasures into the spatial bag, the crown prince stopped his actions. ¡°Jiang Xiyue obtained three pieces of the blood spirit crystal, so she must have obtained one. You¡¯ve contributed so much to her, but isn¡¯t she willing to share a piece with you?¡± The crown prince said. His expression was calm, and no one could see what he was thinking. However, Lin Mo already knew what he meant. Lin Mo said, ¡°This blood spirit crystal belongs to the princess. I naturally don¡¯t have the right to interfere in how she wants to distribute it.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± The crown prince revealed an expression that was just as I expected as he pushed the blood spirit crystal towards Lin Mo. ¡°Since Jiang Xiyue has treated you so well, there¡¯s really no need for you to follow her. Why don¡¯t you join my sect?¡± ¡°As long as you nod your head, this blood spirit crystal will be yours.¡± Although he was reluctant to part with it, the strongest of his younger generation, Jin lie, had already been killed by Lin Mo. Even the second son of the Heavenly King Mansion, Jin Yu, had died at Lin Mo¡¯s hands. It could be said that he had suffered heavy losses for the true dragon bloodline, and all of this was thanks to Lin Mo. The people of the Heavenly King Mansion wanted nothing more than to kill Yue Xuan and tear Lin Mo into pieces. Only the crown prince knew how powerful Lin Mo was. For him to be able to make it this far, he was worthy of being a peerless genius. Yet, such a person like Jiang Xiyue was so cold to him, she would rather sell the blood spirit crystal for money than give him a single piece. ¡°How is it? Join my sect, and I¡¯ll mediate the grudge between Jin Lie and Jin Yu.¡± The crown prince continued to speak. As long as Lin Mo publicly broke away from Jiang Xiyue and announced that he would join the crown prince¡¯s sect, he could even find a tier 9 spirit grade cultivation technique for Lin Mo¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t let you¡­¡± ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to say anymore.¡± The crown prince wanted to continue speaking, but Lin Mo interrupted him. From the looks of it, Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t treat him well¡­ That¡¯s right. The True Dragon bloodline and the blood spirit crystal were all used for the auction, and nothing was given to him. However, he didn¡¯t know that all of this wasn¡¯t Jiang Xiyue¡¯s decision at all. Jiang Xiyue had given the decision to Lin Mo a long time ago, but the one who wanted to auction it off was Lin Mo. ¡°Your Highness, I owe you a debt of gratitude. I won¡¯t leave. Your Highness, put away the treasures and leave this place.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and told the crown prince to leave as soon as possible. Moreover, he had already sensed a special fluctuation from the teleportation array of Yue Xuan. Jiang Xiyue had come through the teleportation array and was walking towards him. The crown prince¡¯s spiritual sense was extraordinary. A moment later, he sensed Jiang Xiyue¡¯s aura and put away the blood spirit crystal. In the next moment, the door to the reception hall was opened. Jiang Xiyue was wearing a purple dress. Her silky black hair fell down and was draped behind her. Her fair skin was rosy, and her eyes were clear and soft. She walked over slowly like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. ¡°My Royal Sister, you¡¯re here?¡± The crown prince looked at Jiang Xiyue. The latter seemed to have dressed up meticulously, which surprised him. His royal sister didn¡¯t seem to be the kind of person who liked to dress up. Was It for Lin Mo? He looked at Lin Mo, only to see Lin Mo looking at Jiang Xiyue with some intoxication. He was also mesmerized by this scene. ¡°A beauty trap¡­ What a clich¨¦¡­ And a useful strategy¡­¡± The crown prince sighed. He had noticed something when the two of them met. If this Lin Mo was really lustful for beauty, perhaps the attraction of his blood spirit crystal was not enough¡­ ¡°Your Highness, if you¡¯ve bought the things, you can leave. It¡¯s already late, be careful on your way.¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled lightly. She slowly walked to Lin Mo¡¯s side and held Lin Mo¡¯s hand with ease. ¡°Since your royal sister has said so, then it¡¯s not good for you to stay any longer. I¡¯ll give you another piece of advice, brother Lin. Although the secular world is good, one¡¯s own strength is the true principle¡­¡± After the crown prince left, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze was a little strange as he looked at Jiang Xiyue who had dressed up meticulously. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes at Lin Mo as she held onto a strand of black hair in front of her. When she saw Lin Mo¡¯s expression, she felt a little smug in her heart. She was the number one beauty in the imperial city, so it was only natural for her to have such charm¡­ ¡°Looking at beauties.¡± Lin Mo smiled. His life was really comfortable. He had enough resources and a beauty to accompany him. It would be great if he could continue like this¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t give me that crap. Hand over the spirit stones.¡± Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes at Lin Mo again and stretched out her hand. Seeing this, Lin Mo took out all the spirit stones he had obtained from this auction. Other than some of the auctioned items, the rest of the treasures were all his own. ¡°I¡¯ve earned a total of 81,320,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo took it out. He didn¡¯t expect to earn so many middle-grade spirit stones in one go. Jiang Xiyue took away 70,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones, leaving the rest for Lin Mo to continue developing. She explained, ¡°I¡¯ve raised quite a few armies, the largest of which has more than 100,000 people. The consumption of spirit stones every month is very high, so these can last for a while.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s mouth opened wide and he looked at Jiang Xiyue in disbelief. ¡°You have also secretly raised an army?¡± Could it be that Jiang Xiyue was planning to usurp the throne after she achieved success in her cultivation in the future? ¡°The throne will definitely not be passed to me. If I want to live, I will either leave my hometown or usurp the throne.¡± ¡°And what is that look in your eyes? Although I am the mastermind, you are also the number one accomplice.¡± Jiang Xiyue said with her arms akimbo. Chapter 342 - Inside the Danger Zone Inside the Danger Zone ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. The strength of the royal family had once again been refreshed in his heart. He remembered that Jiang Xiyue was obviously not favored. Where did she get so many resources to nurture the private army¡­ Also, didn¡¯t she always stay in the imperial city? How did she nurture a private army¡­ ¡°How much are you hiding from me¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He thought that Jiang Xiyue¡¯s ultimate goal was to surpass the crown prince, or even find an opportunity to assassinate him. He didn¡¯t expect that she actually intended to overturn the rule and become the real empress. ¡°Other than the army, there are also some strong people. However, you usually don¡¯t meet them. Don¡¯t worry, we are already in this relationship. Are you afraid that I will lie to you?¡± Jiang Xiyue comforted him. She told Lin Mo that not only her, but the other princes also had their own private army. However, the scale was not as big as hers. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the weakest among the princes?¡± Lin Mo asked. The reason why she created the army was to close the distance between them. She wanted to nurture a Nirvana Realm powerhouse for the future. As Lin Mo saw it, the strongest person by her side was only Luo Haoyu. Moreover, it was because of Qianqian that he helped her. There were a few powerhouses like Luo Haoyu around the other princes, especially the crown prince. He could even ask the elders of the imperial family to help him¡­ Jiang Xiyue was a little disappointed. If it wasn¡¯t for the talent that she displayed being chosen by the emperor, she would have been killed long ago. The struggle for the throne was extremely cruel. Once one was involved, one would either win or die¡­ ¡°I can¡¯t even give up¡­¡± As she said this, a hint of desolation flashed in her eyes. ¡°You can¡¯t even give up voluntarily?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. As a prince, was her fate so tragic? ¡°Of course not. Besides, I was forced into it from the start because I had no other choice.¡± Jiang Xiyue spoke. The crown prince¡¯s growth also required experience. If she displayed her talent, she was destined to become the crown prince¡¯s whetstone. Either the crown prince was sharp enough to cut her in half, or she was tough enough to break the crown prince in half¡­ At this point, she also had her own pride. She could not give up. When she was strong enough, she could pull in some allies and launch the final attack. And this time, the Jingdou Dao Conference would be her only hope. ¡°I¡¯ve heard quite a bit about the Jingdou Dao Conference. What kind of conference is it?¡±L in Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s the hope for the eastern continent to catch up to the other continents. It has to do with the origins of the great chaos. It¡¯s both dangerous and an opportunity.¡± However, she did not know the specifics. She only knew that the entire younger generation of the eastern continent would come to participate. Not only that, there might even be people from other continents. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this. I¡¯ve already learned the spirit-holding technique. I can refine the true dragon¡¯s heart blood now,¡± Jiang Xiyue said. She was also improving. She asked Lin Mo again and received a positive answer. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The True Dragon¡¯s heart blood is really useless to me. You can just refine it without worry.¡± Lin Mo held Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand and comforted her. That night, two black figures hid in a pavilion in Yue Xuan. They used spatial runes to leave Yue Xuan without alerting anyone. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue walked out of an empty alley on the main street of the imperial city. The two walked towards the entrance of the imperial city. ¡°The Purple Moon Palace¡¯s array formation is very strong. Even my father¡¯s spiritual sense can¡¯t penetrate it. Do we really have to be so careful?¡± Jiang Xiyue said softly after leaving the imperial city. This was because Lin Mo had said more than once that absorbing the true dragon¡¯s heart blood would result in shocking changes that could not be absorbed in the Imperial City. ¡°Be careful with the ten-thousand-year-old ship. Even if you absorb it, don¡¯t show it,¡± Lin Mo said. Now that he understood the situation, he had to be even more careful. Moreover, it was time for him to restrain himself. During this period of time, his radiance was too dazzling and even attracted the emperor¡¯s attention. The ranking on the ranking list was enough to show that if he continued to show his prowess, he would be in danger of being killed. ¡°Then let¡¯s head east. That¡¯s a natural danger zone, but I¡¯ve secretly taken control of it.¡± Jiang Xiyue said as she led Lin Mo forward. In the boundless mountains, there were all kinds of dangerous areas, not to mention danger zones. What Jiang Xiyue led Lin Mo to was a danger zone with a notorious reputation. The two of them went very smoothly. They did not encounter any ferocious beasts blocking their way, and they spent half a day arriving at this dangerous place. ¡°Are we really going in?¡± Standing at the entrance, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was palpitating. The aura emitted by this dangerous place was too terrifying, and it was very strange. The moment he stepped into it, he felt that someone was spying on him. As they went deeper, the feeling became more and more obvious. This was just a magnetic field that targeted the soul. It felt very scary, but there was no danger. ¡°This place is very dangerous,¡± Jiang Xiyue explained. She took out a token and brought Lin Mo quickly through the outer perimeter to the central region. ¡°This place is full of traps, but as long as you¡¯re careful, you¡¯ll be able to avoid them,¡± She explained. She had met the second prince many years ago, and he had disliked her because she had displayed her talent. She had been hunted down when she was out, and she had come here while escaping. By chance, she had discovered the secret of this place. After exploring, she found a way to survive that led to the center of the danger zone. ¡°There is an army here that I have trained. The size is around a thousand people, and none of them are weak.¡± As they spoke, they passed through many powerful formations. There were even terrifying formations that could crush a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. After slowing down, Lin Mo raised his head and saw a black mass of volcanoes in front of him. Jiang Xiyue brought Lin Mo to the front of this group of volcanoes and took out another token. When Lin Mo arrived here, he immediately felt an extremely hot aura spread out, as if he had fallen into the lava. However, when Lin Mo wanted to circulate his spiritual power to resist this heat, he suddenly realized that the God Devouring Body in his body was slightly circulating. In the end, the heat was converted into spiritual power and fused into Lin Mo¡¯s body, recovering some of the energy that had been consumed during the journey. ¡°What a nice place¡­¡± Lin Mo said in surprise. Jiang Xiyue smiled faintly. When she discovered this place, she had the same expression as Lin Mo. The two of them flew up, passing through numerous volcanoes, and finally came to a stop in the central region. Here, in the huge crater of the volcano, there was no longer lava flowing. Instead, there was a clear spring that was emitting hot air. Lin Mo stood in the sky. Just taking a breath of this hot air made him feel as if his entire body was burning up. This shocked him greatly. The density of the spiritual energy here was even denser than that of the Purple Moon Palace. It was simply unimaginable. The clear spring below was all condensed from pure spiritual energy. There was also a portion of spiritual essence. If one cultivated here, it would be difficult not to improve. ¡°Swoosh!¡± When Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo appeared here, eight figures sitting cross-legged in the clear spring below opened their eyes and flew up. Six men and two women, each with strong strength, were at the first sky of the Nirvana realm. They half-knelt in the air and spoke respectfully to Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Greetings, Palace Master.¡± Chapter 343 - The Flame God Army With a respectful expression, no one asked why Jiang Xiyue brought an unfamiliar young man in. ¡°This is the Divine Flame Army. The scale is more than 1,100, and each of them is at least level 30 of the Transformation Dragon Realm,¡± Jiang Xiyue introduced. ¡°Three to five years ago, they were all at the bottom. They were bullied. I took them away, gave them resources, and let them cultivate in the danger zone.¡± ¡°Their talent is also not bad. With sufficient resources, a total of nine people have broken through to the Nirvana stage in the past few years.¡± ¡°I have also set a goal for them, and that is to break through to the Nirvana stage¡­¡± After listening to Jiang Xiyue¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo¡¯s face turned pale with shock. More than 1,100 people. This kind of quality was not inferior to the guards of the imperial city. Moreover, if they all broke through to the Nirvana Realm in the future, it would be even worse. This would be a terrifying army. An army formed entirely by Nirvana Realm experts, even a seventh sky of Nirvana Realm expert would not dare to resist it¡­ Jiang Xiyue looked at the eight people who were half-kneeling in the air and waved her hand, asking them to get up. She said, ¡°Where is Ning Feng? Where did he run off to?¡± One of the women walked up and said respectfully, ¡°Reporting to the palace master, Commander Ning Feng is out training. He is going to hunt some inner cores of demonic beasts for his brothers to train.¡± Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue nodded and said to Lin Mo, ¡°Ning Feng is the commander of the Flame Divine Army. He broke through to the second sky of Nirvana realm half a month ago. His talent is quite good.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was already numb. This was only one army under Jiang Xiyue. What was the other army like? ¡°Bingxin, I¡¯m going into seclusion here. You guys are responsible for guarding the Dharma. Oh right, pass these spirit stones to the soldiers to cultivate.¡± Jiang Xiyue said as she took out a total of 30 million middle-grade spirit stones from her Qiankun bag. It seemed like Jiang Xiyue had placed a lot of hope in this army¡­ ¡°Yes, Palace Mistress.¡± The woman named Bingxin took the middle-grade spirit stones and didn¡¯t say anything throughout the entire process. She split the spirit stones with the others and turned around to leave. ¡°This clear spring contains a lot of energy, but it¡¯s a bit painful to absorb. Just hold it in.¡± Jiang Xiyue landed together with Lin Mo in the clear spring. Rays of divine light circulated in the spring, which was extremely dazzling. The water vapour rose and soaked them, and there was a burning pain on her skin. ¡°Time is precious. Hurry up and cultivate.¡± Jiang Xiyue was a little excited, and her beautiful face was filled with excitement. The blood of a true dragon was a rare treasure. If she could use this to comprehend the techniques of a true dragon, she might really be able to soar into the sky¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so excited. As long as you want, the True Phoenix Nirvana technique, Kun Peng Wings, Qilin Steps, and the archaic Vermillion Bird¡¯s techniques can all be yours,¡± Lin Mo said calmly. Jiang Xiyue gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at Lin Mo. This guy clearly knew that she coveted these techniques, yet he still dared to provoke her like this¡­ She smiled and said, ¡°If I can use this to comprehend a true dragon spell, I¡¯ll show off in front of you too.¡± ¡°The sky hasn¡¯t even turned dark yet, why are you already dreaming? Oh right, daydreaming¡­¡± Lin Mo patted Jiang Xiyue¡¯s shoulder to wake her up. ¡°Scram!¡± After the two of them played for a while, Lin Mo took out the true dragon¡¯s heart blood. In an instant, the draconic aura spread throughout the entire dangerous land. Dragon roars resounded through the sky, and some of the soldiers who were cultivating were awakened. Bing Xin and the others who were originally guarding around the center of the dangerous land were shocked by this dragon roar and couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°This is the aura of an archaic true dragon. Where did palace master get the blood essence¡­¡± ¡°No wonder he came here to cultivate. Only a dangerous land would be safe with such a commotion.¡± The few of them muttered to themselves. They looked at each other, leaving one person to protect them while the others scattered. At such a critical moment, they could not be disturbed. Occasionally, there would be people coming to explore the absolute center. If necessary, they would kill them. At this moment, Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue also let out a sigh of relief. In the clear spring, the true dragon¡¯s heart blood had just appeared when it burst out with a supreme divine light, as if it was going to break through the sky. Fortunately, it was blocked by this dangerous land. Jiang Xiyue immediately began to cultivate. The True Dragon¡¯s heart blood was swallowed into her mouth, and endless divine light blossomed from her body. ¡°Swallowing the True Dragon¡¯s heart blood, although there are endless opportunities, there are still dangers. You must succeed.¡± Lin Mo looked at Jiang Xiyue who was cultivating and was a little worried. He took out the remaining ten million middle grade spirit stones and put them all into the clear spring. With the support of such a large amount of spiritual energy, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face gradually turned red. Runes appeared in the Golden Light and enveloped her. After a moment, the dragon¡¯s aura here gradually disappeared and the golden light was gradually restrained. In the clear spring, her jade-like body lay on the ground. The black robe on Jiang Xiyue¡¯s body had long been crushed by the golden light. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. As expected of a treasure given by the system, the danger level was very low. A Golden Dragon scale appeared between Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyebrows. It looked like a golden dragon had been carved on the scale and was emitting golden light. Jiang Xiyue opened her eyes and her face was full of disbelief. She was even a little surprised. After absorbing it, she was a little uncertain, but she could clearly feel the powerful dragon qi in her body. ¡°I¡¯ve obtained the Dragon Energy. It¡¯s so powerful¡­ The True Dragon bloodline has awakened in my body¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. He had already made this guess. This was because the drop of true dragon¡¯s heart blood given by the system originally contained an incomparably violent power. However, as long as Lin Mo was around, this power could be suppressed and smoothly absorbed by others. This was probably the same as the demon beasts that received rebates. Although the demonic beasts that received rebates didn¡¯t have a contract with him, they would listen to his orders¡­ At this moment, Jiang Xiyue still hadn¡¯t recovered from her shock. She looked inside her body and felt waves of endless power. She stood up and was about to express her gratitude to Lin Mo. When she turned her head, she saw Lin Mo looking at her with a fiery gaze. He couldn¡¯t even bear to blink his eyes¡­ ¡°What are you looking at? Have I changed my appearance?¡± Jiang Xiyue was confused. She was a little proud of Lin Mo¡¯s look. Although Lin Mo looked at her normally, he had never been so passionate like today. ¡°I haven¡¯t changed. Continue to be happy. I¡¯m just looking,¡± Lin Mo looked at Jiang Xiyue and said vaguely. Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue frowned and suddenly felt a chill on her body¡­ She subconsciously looked at her body and realized why Lin Mo¡¯s gaze had changed¡­ This guy was usually honest and well-behaved. No wonder he was acting so strangely now. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A scream sounded and Jiang Xiyue instantly sank into the clear spring. However, the spring water was too clear and Lin Mo¡¯s vision was not blocked at all. ¡°You¡¯re still looking¡­¡± She said angrily. Then, she remembered that there were quite a number of soldiers training outside the crater. If she heard her voice and came over to check, she would not dare to believe it¡­ Chapter 344 - The Explosion of the God Devouring Body Jiang Xiyue quickly took out a skirt and put it on. Only then did she surface. When she saw Lin Mo, she reached out and grabbed his ear. ¡°Having a good look are we?¡± ¡°It hurts. My ear is going to fall off.¡± Lin Mo felt a sharp pain in his ear. Jiang Xiyue used a lot of force. However, he still subconsciously whispered, ¡°It¡¯s not like it¡¯s not¡­¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Jiang Xiyue blushed, and she stared at Lin Mo as if she could spit fire. ¡°Ahem¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly. Fortunately, the soldiers outside didn¡¯t come to check on him. However, seeing this scene, they were probably dumbfounded. Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything else, and the scene quieted down. Jiang Xiyue looked at Lin Mo, and when she thought about how she had shown him everything without holding back, she wanted to rush up and beat him up¡­ She immediately chose to enter closed-door cultivation, absorbing the spiritual energy in the clear spring. Lin Mo had just fused ten million middle-grade spirit stones into it, and he made good use of the time to cultivate so that his realm could increase. Seeing that Jiang Xiyue had started cultivating, Lin Mo was relieved. The blood in the true dragon heart shouldn¡¯t be a problem anymore. However, whether or not she would have the chance to comprehend the techniques of an archaic true dragon would depend on her talent and luck. Lin Mo sighed. He could not be of much help in this matter. He began his closed-door cultivation. He circulated his God Devouring Body and absorbed the energy in the clear spring. Apart from that, he also took out two blood spirit crystals and placed them in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hands. These things were extremely pure. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo decisively took out the blood spirit stone and began to absorb it. This dangerous land was a perfect place for seclusion. He couldn¡¯t waste it. Soon, Jiang Xiyue was nowhere to be seen in front of him. Countless strands of energy filled the air, and the power of the blood spirit crystal was released, enveloping her and forming a cocoon. She had lost her connection with the outside world. On the cocoon, golden runes slowly appeared and then disappeared. ¡°True Dragon Spell, I hope you can get some¡­¡±Lin mo whispered. A drop of true dragon¡¯s heart blood naturally couldn¡¯t comprehend a complete true dragon spell, but he could still get some incomplete moves. He no longer paid attention to it and started to cultivate with all his heart to comprehend the power of the blood soul stone in his hand. This was a special crystal stone that could bear the blood soul flame. It contained endless origin energy and could allow the soul to be reborn. Almost in an instant, he was also wrapped in a scarlet cocoon. Pure energy kept surging toward him. The God Devouring Manual was activated. It controlled the God Devouring Body and kept devouring the energy around it. It was like a bottomless pit that was ravenously devouring. Lin Mo¡¯s body was almost indestructible. He had reached the peak of the same realm a long time ago. There was no need for him to be reborn. Therefore, he could absorb all the energy from the God Devouring Body. More than half of the blood soul stone¡¯s energy had also been absorbed. There wasn¡¯t much left for Lin Mo. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. An even purer spiritual energy burst out from his dantian, accompanied by an even stronger suction force. The cocoon that wrapped around his body instantly shattered. In less than two or three seconds, it was completely absorbed. Lin Mo was shocked. The suction force was too terrifying, and it was about to affect Jiang Xiyue. The spiritual energy in the clear spring was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. If this continued, the crater would dry up in less than a day. ¡°What a terrifying God Devouring Body¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He wanted to use the god-devouring art to control it, but he couldn¡¯t stop it. However, it was useless. The only thing that made Lin Mo happy was the deep vortex in his Dantian. There was a faint chanting sound coming from there. One after another, it was very pleasing to the ear. However, the situation outside had been turned upside down. With Lin Mo as the center, the suction force kept expanding. Even the cocoon formed by Jiang Xiyue was showing signs of breaking. ¡°Swoosh!¡± Figures flew over one after another. The Nirvana Realm powerhouse who was left behind to guard finally realized that something was wrong and came to check. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± It was Bing Xin. She stayed in the center area to guard while the others guarded the outer area. ¡°Senior Bing Xin, take Xiyue away and find another place to cultivate and replenish her spiritual stones¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth as he spoke. He forcefully extended his spiritual power and summoned a wave of spiritual energy to throw away the cocoon wrapped around Jiang Xiyue. After doing all this, Lin Mo lost his last bit of power and became weaker. The spiritual energy in his Dantian had been completely devoured by the God Devouring Body. What he needed to devour now was his life force. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Have you gone mad?¡± After taking Jiang Xiyue away, Bing Xin turned back again. She saw that Lin Mo wanted to attack, but she didn¡¯t know what to do¡­ ¡°Wake up the person who is cultivating and leave this place¡­¡± Lin Mo could only say this. His body quickly withered and his life force was almost sucked out. Fortunately, he had some spirit pills on him, which could make up for it now. However, this kind of replenishment was far from comparable to the Devouring Body¡¯s absorption. His reminder soon had an effect because the Devouring Body had expanded further. With his enormous volcano as the center, within a thousand meter radius, there were signs of spiritual energy flowing. Such a phenomenon stunned these people. What was the background of the young man brought by the palace head? Why was his cultivation so powerful? At this moment, Lin Mo had already taken out the blood spirit crystal in his hand. Other than the Ancient Sword of Desolation, he was absorbing all the resources that contained spiritual energy, including the enlightenment stone fragment. At this moment, his Dantian contained an extremely terrifying amount of energy. As long as he used his inner vision, he would be able to see that the black hole was expanding and covering his Dantian. There were scriptures appearing within, and Lin Mo did not miss a single detail. Under Lin Mo¡¯s perfection, the symbols of the God Devouring Art started to become complicated, gaining the upper hand. This time, the God Devouring Body¡¯s explosion was stronger than the previous few times. Even though Lin Mo could barely control it now, he still couldn¡¯t completely suppress it. He could only rely on his consciousness to stop it from spreading, maintaining a range of a thousand meters. In his Dantian, the black hole gradually stabilized. The suction force was still there, but it was already within Lin Mo¡¯s control. At the very least, the God Devouring Body wouldn¡¯t devour his life force. In the center of the black hole, there was a ball of blood essence that was gathering into symbols. It was very mysterious. This time, it was even more intense than before. In the past, when new runes appeared on the God Devouring Art, there was no such blood essence. However, the resources that Lin Mo was devouring now were far from what he could compare to before. There were more than ten million mid-grade spirit stones. Other than that, there were also blood soul stones, over a dozen blood spirit crystals, and fragments of enlightenment stones¡­ Any one of them was a rare treasure that could be passed down through the ages. Right now, the God Devouring Body had swallowed all of the energy within, and all of it was used to form the God Devouring Formula¡¯s runes. A familiar feeling came over, and a hint of desire surged in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. At the same time, his flesh and bones crackled, and his body appeared to have a jade-like lustre, looking solemn and dignified. After that, Lin Mo¡¯s entire body started to burn. Everything, including his soul, was being burned by the flames. Chapter 345 - Mysterious Stone There was a faint feeling that the volcano was about to erupt. The energy below was also being absorbed by Lin Mo. The runes in Lin Mo¡¯s Dantian were becoming more and more intense. They were emitting light and were extremely resplendent. This was no longer absorbing energy. This was simply plundering. It was completely emotionless plundering. Wherever it went, not a single blade of grass would grow. However, there was only one rune that was finally formed. It had been fused into the God Devouring formula. This rune wasn¡¯t big, but when Lin Mo carefully observed it, he felt a power that was enough to suppress the heavens and earth. He could feel that the God Devouring formula had been sublimated at this moment. In terms of rank, it could be considered to be at the 1st tier of the earth grade. Of course, this wasn¡¯t his biggest gain from this trip. When the rune was formed, the energy that the God Devouring Body had absorbed had nowhere to go. All of it poured into his Dantian. With such a huge amount of energy pouring in, his realm soared. In the blink of an eye, his strength, which was originally at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, broke through one after another. He couldn¡¯t stop it at all. Under the impact of the huge energy, he stopped at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The degree of improvement was enough to make others exclaim in admiration. As expected of the God Devouring Body. Once it survived the ordeal of devouring life force, the benefits it received were incomparable. ¡°There¡¯s also the God Devouring Body. I can feel that its power has become stronger again¡­¡± Lin Mo looked inside his body and felt that the God Devouring Body¡¯s power had increased. His desire for energy had increased again. Now, he could only rely on himself to cultivate. Fortunately, he still had the system to return the profits from the auction. The resources weren¡¯t a problem for him. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The black hole formed by the God Devouring Body had disappeared. However, the area within a thousand meters had lost its vitality. There should be some treasure under the volcano. It contained a thick amount of energy, but it had already disappeared. The energy had been swallowed. This also showed that the God Devouring Body was too powerful, and the amount of energy it needed was too huge. If the treasures at the bottom of the volcano were auctioned off, it was likely that they would return even better profits. Moreover, it would also cause the entire world to clamour for it, and there would be a battle. The symbols dimmed and finally disappeared. At this point, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation had ended. He tried to activate the Soul Devouring Art, and he discovered that the surrounding space had fluctuated. A suction force came from his meridians, and the God Devouring Body in his Dantian started to stir. However, the surrounding spiritual energy was already so thin that it could be ignored. This time, it didn¡¯t have any effect. On the contrary, it was because there was no spiritual energy here, causing him to feel as if he had hit a rock. ¡°Oh right, I can go down and take a look.¡± Lin Mo muttered. He recalled that the reason he was able to successfully come out of seclusion was because there was a type of heavenly treasure hidden below. However, that treasure had already been destroyed. At least half of the spiritual energy in this land had been consumed by him. The clear spring had long dried up. The ground below cracked open. Lin Mo dug a cave and dived down. A moment later, Lin Mo found a giant rock with a diameter of three meters within five hundred meters. On this giant rock, there would occasionally be a drop of pale yellow liquid that looked like lava. Lin Mo absorbed the drop of liquid and discovered its extraordinary aspects. This lava liquid was truly astonishing, containing boundless life force. Previously, because of the God Devouring Body¡¯s explosion, it had been absorbed. Now, his life force was recovering at an astonishing speed. After this drop of lava liquid was absorbed, his injuries had completely healed. ¡°Good stuff¡­¡± Lin Mo said. He was clear about his injuries. At the very least, he would need a spirit-grade spirit pill to heal them. Right now, this huge rock only needed to drop a drop of lava liquid to completely heal his injuries. Following that, Lin Mo went into seclusion here. As the spiritual energy within this huge rock had yet to be exhausted, it still contained power within. After a few days, the huge rock would drop a drop of liquid every day. Lin Mo absorbed it to stabilize his cultivation base. After his cultivation base was stabilized, he stopped absorbing. However, he realized that the drop of liquid within the rock was getting slower and slower. At first, it was one drop a day. Now, it had not dropped for three days. ¡°I think I¡¯ve destroyed her precious cultivation ground¡­¡± Lin Mo was embarrassed. He left the crater and found Bing Xin, who was guarding Jiang Xiyue¡¯s cultivation. The middle-aged woman stared at him vigilantly as if she was looking at a monster. ¡°Senior, you don¡¯t have to be so wary of me¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He wanted to come and see Jiang Xiyue, but the she seemed to be still in seclusion. ¡°The palace master has instructed that if you come out of seclusion, you can leave on your own,¡± Bing Xin said, repeating what Jiang Xiyue had said before she completely entered seclusion. ¡°I seem to have destroyed the precious land for your cultivation¡­¡± Lin Mo said a little embarrassedly. Bing Xin nodded and said, ¡°The palace master already knows. She didn¡¯t blame you.¡± After saying that, she looked at Lin Mo in surprise. This young man was very powerful, and his combat strength was among the top of his peers. She didn¡¯t know what relationship he had with the palace master, but he wasn¡¯t blamed for destroying the palace master¡¯s most precious cultivation land¡­ ¡°Can I take the stone in the center of the volcano? I might have a way to repair it¡­¡± Lin Mo asked. He had seen that Stone before, and it was originally filled with boundless vitality. After being damaged by the God Devouring Body, it was already close to being destroyed. To repair it, one would need to consume countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, he could use the rebate from the auction to repair it. Under normal circumstances, the damaged heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were rebated would be repaired¡­ Items like the fragments of the enlightenment stone and the blood spirit crystal were all of the same type of rebate. However, they were larger in size and contained more energy. ¡°No, that stone is very mysterious. Putting it in the mouth of a volcano and absorbing the essence of the Earth is the best way to repair it,¡± Bing Xin rejected him. If that stone really moved, perhaps this treasured land would be ruined. However, she also understood that even though it could be restored if she stayed here, it would be a matter of a hundred years later¡­ ¡°I have a way to restore it in a short period of time. It might only be a part of it, but it can reduce the recovery period.¡± Lin Mo said confidently. If the refunds from the auction were large enough, it was not impossible for it to be completely restored. ¡°Why should I believe you?¡± Bing Xin looked at Lin Mo, the doubt in her eyes was not hidden at all. ¡°¡­¡± This put Lin Mo in a difficult position. If he wanted to take away this stone, it seemed that he could only wait for Jiang Xiyue to come out of seclusion. What if Jiang Xiyue went into seclusion for more than half a year? Wouldn¡¯t that mean that she would miss the capital¡¯s Dao Conference Helpless, Lin Mo could only stand by the side and pray that Jiang Xiyue could quickly come out of seclusion. Bing Xin didn¡¯t stop her. She stood not far from Jiang Xiyue and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing. After five days of boring waiting, the peace was broken. A fluctuation came from the periphery of the danger zone. Bing Xin and Lin Mo instantly became nervous. However, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw who it was. ¡°Senior Luo.¡± Lin Mo bowed. It seemed that Jiang Xiyue had been in seclusion for a long time, which made him a little worried. ¡°Is the palace master still in seclusion?¡± Luo Haoyu frowned when he saw Jiang Xiyue who had turned into a big blood-red cocoon. Chapter 346 - Wooing the Crown Prince He brought news that the Blood Soul Flame had reappeared. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Jiang Xiyue was still in seclusion. Then, Lin Mo learned that the blood soul flame showed traces in a mountain range, but it soon disappeared. The emperor even gave a death order. Whoever had a way to catch the blood soul flame could enter the palace treasury. This shocked everyone. The palace treasury was a collection of the entire country for thousands of years. There were countless precious treasures within. If they could really enter, they might be able to obtain earth grade treasures¡­ ¡°You said you want to take away that strange stone?¡± At the mouth of the volcano, Luo Haoyu looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. Lin Mo hurriedly explained that he had destroyed this piece of land because of his cultivation. However, when Luo Haoyu heard Lin Mo say that this strange stone could be recovered, his eyes were filled with suspicion. However, when he thought of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s trust in Lin Mo, he did not say anything more and said, ¡°Then you can take it away. I hope you can do it.¡± Bing Xin was stunned. She did not expect Luo Haoyu to actually agree. ¡°Elder Luo, this¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Luo Haoyu raised his hand to stop Bing Xin from saying anything more. ¡°Thank you, Elder Luo.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He was finally able to take this strange stone away. He was also very curious about what kind of treasure this thing was. He came to the crater of the volcano and followed the hole that had been dug out, going all the way down. Around this strange stone, there were still a few drops of magma liquid floating around. It was formed during this period of time. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not stand on ceremony and kept all of it into the system space. The next moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded out, causing Lin Mo to be greatly shocked. [ Nirvana Fire Stone, contains life force and is extremely helpful to cultivation. Grade: Spirit Rank 1. ] [ Nirvana Fire Stone, able to absorb the essence of the Earth, condensing Nirvana Fire Stone, growing endlessly. ] [ This Nirvana Fire Stone has already been damaged and is extremely serious. It was originally an earth rank 9, but has now been reduced to a spirit rank 7. ] A single drop of Nirvana liquid had already reached the level of a spirit rank 1. Moreover, its healing effects were extremely remarkable, comparable to a spirit rank 3 healing spirit pill. This nirvana fire stone was even more precious. With it, it was equivalent to having an endless supply of spirit rank 3 spirit pills¡­ However, this nirvana fire stone was already damaged, and had been devoured by a large amount of energy by the devouring God body. Recovering it was easier said than done. ¡°I hope that after I sell it, I¡¯ll be able to return a complete profit¡­¡± After storing it into the system space, Lin Mo left the danger zone. Walking in the boundless mountain range, Lin Mo discovered that there were many people exploring. It was clear that they were very eager to find the blood soul flame. Naturally, Lin Mo joined one of the teams and explored with them. After spending a day without any gains, the few of them successfully returned to the imperial city. After a round of questioning, they entered the city. The first thing they did after returning was to go to Yue Xuan to announce the start of the auction. Before this, Yue Xuan had not opened the auction because no one was presiding over it. This auction naturally attracted many people. Some people had even started to bid for treasures, planning to compete with others. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin Mo, we meet again. I heard that you have been looking for news of the Blood Soul Flame in the mountains recently?¡± When Lin Mo stopped at the Moon Pavilion, he saw the crown prince walking over with a smile on his face. ¡°There are quite a lot of spies¡­¡±looking at the crown prince walking over, Lin Mo said in a low voice. Fortunately, he had returned with some members of the mercenary group. He looked like someone who had gone out to search for the blood soul flame but had failed. Lin Mo had never had a good impression of the crown prince. However, he did not want to offend him. ¡°Your Highness, what¡¯s the matter?¡± The crown prince looked at the expressionless Lin Mo and the smile on his face did not fade. He pointed to the reception hall and said, ¡°Please move to the side.¡± Lin Mo sighed. The crown prince was still trying to rope him in. Should he tell him about his relationship with Jiang Xiyue¡­ Seeing that the crown prince had already walked into the reception hall, Lin Mo followed helplessly. The surrounding people looked at each other, not understanding why Lin Mo was so close to the crown prince despite being the eighth princess¡¯hanger-on. Some people wanted to eavesdrop, but in the end, they held back and did not dare to peek at the Crown Prince. In the reception hall, the Crown Prince and Lin Mo sat opposite each other. ¡°Jiang Xiyue is in closed-door cultivation, right? She should be refining the blood spirit crystal, while you are working hard to find the Blood Soul Flame¡­¡± The crown prince spoke with a calm expression, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Lin Mo sneered in his heart when he heard this. was he still trying to sow discord? The crown prince was indeed a schemer¡­ ¡°This blood spirit crystal belongs to the palace master. I naturally have no right to ask how to deal with it,¡±Lin Mo replied. The crown prince was stunned because he did not see any dissatisfaction in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes¡­ He continued, ¡°You won¡¯t have a good ending if you follow my royal sister. She¡¯s not even willing to give you the resources. Why Don¡¯t you join my sect? I¡¯ll do my best to nurture you.¡± ¡°Really?¡±Lin Mo was stunned, then he smiled and said, ¡°Your Highness, you must be joking. I¡¯m not interested in joining someone else.¡± The smile on the crown prince¡¯s face gradually disappeared, because he really couldn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo was so loyal to Jiang Xiyue. Jiang Xiyue clearly didn¡¯t give Lin Mo any treasures. The Blood Spirit Crystal, the Enlightenment stone, she would rather auction them than give them to him¡­ Or could it be that Jiang Xiyue had obtained some treasures from the ruins and gave them to Lin Mo, causing Lin Mo to ignore the Enlightenment stone and the blood spirit crystal? He was puzzled and wanted to find out what Lin Mo had to say. After chatting for a while, the crown prince didn¡¯t gain anything. It wasn¡¯t until he was about to leave that Lin Mo opened his mouth and told him a piece of news. ¡°If Your Highness the Crown Prince wishes to develop his influence, remember to bring sufficient spirit stones for tonight¡¯s auction¡­¡± When his words were transmitted over, a smile finally appeared on the Crown Prince¡¯s originally cold expression. ¡°Haha, in that case, many thanks to brother Lin for informing me.¡± The crown prince laughed heartily. He had finally gained something. Before he left, he sent off two spirit rank 5 magic tools and left happily. ¡°He¡¯s really generous¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled slightly. If it was two magic tools, then tonight¡¯s auction wouldn¡¯t be too bad. With this thought in mind, Lin Mo was just about to leave when he realized that the maid had sent him news after news. It turned out that during this period of time, there had been quite a number of visiting cards that wanted to pay him a visit. Most of them were young geniuses from other factions and holy lands who had come to the capital to participate in the convention and send visiting cards to various places. However, because he and Jiang Xiyue were both in closed-door cultivation, they had left these people to the side¡­ Lin Mo spent the entire day chatting with people and meeting all sorts of geniuses. The majority of them were experts that were famous on the wind and cloud rankings. It was only at night that Lin Mo used the reason of the auction to decline these people¡¯s invitations. Lin Mo didn¡¯t display anything eye-catching in this auction, so there weren¡¯t as many people participating as before. Soon, Lin Mo walked onto the stage, followed by nine handmaidens with silver plates in their hands. ¡°Everyone, today¡¯s auction is relatively small. There are only ten items in total.¡± Lin Mo looked at everyone below and said with a smile. Chapter 347 - The Grand Finale ¡°The first item up for auction is a spirit grade tier 5 magic weapon.¡± Lin Mo took out a light green sword. This was a treasure sent by the crown prince because he had chosen to send it for auction. ¡°Everyone, this item is called the green light sword. The main ingredient is a spirit grade tier 4 green spirit bird inner core.¡± ¡°Everyone knows that the green spirit bird is famous for its speed. A spirit grade tier 4 green spirit bird¡¯s speed is something that even a fifth sky of the Nirvana Realm wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up to.¡± ¡°With the inner core¡¯s blessing, this green light is most suitable for wind attribute sword cultivators. Don¡¯t miss out on a good ally.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he introduced. ¡°The starting price for the green light sword is 500,000 middle grade spirit stones.¡± Upon hearing this price, the hall became much quieter. This wasn¡¯t considered cheap. However, the quiet atmosphere was quickly covered by shouting about the price. Although sword cultivators were difficult to cultivate, their battle prowess was incomparable. As a result, this green light sword caused a clamour, and many people wanted to obtain it. In the auction house, the shouting of the price rose and fell. After a few minutes, it was bought by a beautiful middle-aged woman at the price of 950,000 mid-grade spirit stones. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit grade 5 Magic Weapon Cyan Light Sword ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times rebate from the auction ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the Spirit Rank 7 magic weapon, Clear Wind Spirit Sword ] A spirit grade 7 magic weapon was on the same level as the Ancient Sword of Desolation in his hands. However, Lin Mo had no intention of changing his weapon, so the Clear Wind Spirit Sword could only stay in the warehouse. The atmosphere of the auction was quickly stirred up. After hosting so many auctions, Abbot Lin Mo had a wealth of experience. One treasure after another appeared. The weakest was a spirit grade 4, and its quality was very high. ¡°This is the ninth item. Field owner Lin, you¡¯ve always been famous for auctioning precious treasures, but why are you so ordinary today?¡± Before Lin Mo could open the ninth item, the crowd below the stage started to get impatient. These were the voices coming from the private room. Lin Mo¡¯s auction started from the moment he became famous. There were many good items in it. They were either extremely powerful or of high quality. Even though there was nothing wrong with Lin Mo¡¯s auction, in fact, the quality was slightly better than that of normal auctions. However, this was far from what others had said¡­ ¡°Customer, don¡¯t panic. As long as these last two items are used properly, it will definitely be worth it¡­¡± Lin Mo called over a maid and opened the ninth item. Inside was a suet jade bottle. He pulled out the stopper at the mouth of the bottle, and in an instant, a searing heat mixed with a fragrant aura spread out. The life aura in the auction house instantly bloomed, shocking everyone. ¡°Such a rich life force, what is this?¡± ¡°It must be a rare treasure in the world. As expected, I came to the right place. There¡¯s a treasure here¡­¡± ¡°Field owner Lin, quickly introduce it to us.¡± Some people couldn¡¯t wait any longer. They rubbed their hands together, wanting to bid for it. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze swept past. He paused in front of the crown prince¡¯s private room for a moment before hurriedly moving away. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. This auction item is a little special. It has some connection to the final item.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took two steps back. With a raise of his hand, a strange stone emitting a scorching aura was released. The appearance of the three-meter-wide stone shocked everyone. What was even more surprising was the spiritual energy in the hall. Although the rising temperature made some people feel uncomfortable. However, this rich aura of life was still very obvious. ¡°The Nirvana Fire Stone absorbs the essence of the earth and condenses the Nirvana liquid. The grade of the Nirvana liquid is spirit rank 1, but its effect is comparable to a spirit rank 3 spirit pill.¡± ¡°This Nirvana Fire Stone was originally an earth rank 9 treasure. However, it¡¯s damaged and its internal energy has almost been sucked dry. Right now, it has the effect of a spirit grade 7.¡± Lin Mo introduced it. He also told everyone how to restore it. As long as a large amount of spirit stones were thrown in, it would be able to be restored. At that time, Nirvana liquid would continuously appear. ¡°There¡¯s actually such a strange treasure in this world¡­¡± Everyone turned pale with fright. At its peak, it was an Earth rank 9 treasure. This was simply unbelievable. In the private room, the crown prince had already stood up. His gaze was fixed on the Nirvana fire stone on the stage. ¡°Have you brought enough money¡­¡± The Crown Prince¡¯s voice was a little rough. Fortunately, Lin Mo had reminded him to bring a lot of spirit stones. Otherwise, he might really have missed this auction¡­ ¡°Haha, good stuff. This Nirvana Fire Stone, my Peacock Spirit Clan wants it.¡± At this moment, a hearty laughter sounded out. This was the peacock spirit clan¡¯s clan leader, Kong Xiu. Who would have thought that after so many years, he would once again come to the imperial city¡­ ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, don¡¯t introduce yourself. Those who can afford it already know its effects.¡± Kong Xiu urged, asking Lin Mo to quickly announce the starting price. ¡°As the Nirvana fire stone only has the quality of a spirit grade 7, the starting price is set at 1,000,000. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000.¡± Lin Mo said. The starting bid of 1,000,000 was extremely low, and some people even felt that they could compete for it. However, the moment the starting bid was announced, the Crown Prince¡¯s side had already started bidding. ¡°2,000,000.¡± As the saying went, each increment must not be lower than 100,000, this was completely redundant. Only the princes and the like were qualified to participate in the bidding. These people would not only raise the bid by 100,000. ¡°Three million.¡± Kong Xiu also participated and raised the bid by one million. In terms of financial resources, the Peacock Spirit Clan might not be as powerful as the royal family, but the crown prince could not mobilize as much as Kong Xiu¡­ ¡°Why are they fighting over it¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He was most afraid of such a situation. After all, he was likely to suffer a huge loss this time. Such a system compensation should be able to give him a complete piece of Nirvana Fire Stone. However, if these two people fought over it, wouldn¡¯t the price go up to the sky¡­ ¡°No, I have to think of a way¡­¡± Lin Mo was deep in thought. Meanwhile, Kong Xiu and the crown prince had already raised the price to eight million. The two of them increased the price by one million and one million, not stingy with the spirit stones at all. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless and hurriedly transmitted his voice to the maids behind him, asking them to arrange for people to go to the two private rooms. ¡°Alright, since both guests want the Nirvana Fire Stones, I¡¯ll let the two of you observe these two drops of Nirvana liquid.¡± He called out to them and the two maids went forward to carry the jade bottles and walked into the crown prince¡¯s private room first. This was a move that didn¡¯t seem to have any problems in the eyes of the crowd. However, when the maids entered Kong Xiu¡¯s private room, they also brought Lin Mo¡¯s words to him. In the private room, after Kong Xiu saw the Nirvana liquid, he was overjoyed. This was because he could sense that the injuries in his body were faintly showing signs of improvement when he smelled the aura of the Nirvana liquid¡­ ¡°No matter what, this Nirvana Fire Stone has to be auctioned off¡­¡± Kong Xiu muttered. The maid at the side hesitated for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, ¡°Sir, field owner Lin asked me to pass on a message to tell you not to auction it off.¡± ¡°When the time comes, I will give you a big gift in return¡­¡± Chapter 348 - Second Theft After the maid finished speaking, she left, leaving Kong Xiu, who was in the private room, puzzled. ¡°Patriarch, this Nirvana Fire Stone contains endless vitality. If you can devour it, you will definitely be able to heal your injuries.¡± A Peacock Spirit Clan¡¯s first elder said, feeling that he should bid. After all, as long as Kong Xiu¡¯s injuries were healed, he would definitely be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, his cultivation would continue to increase. Compared to this, tens of millions of middle-grade spirit stones were nothing¡­ ¡°This¡­¡± Kong Xiu was also at a loss. One reason was that he wanted to rope in Lin Mo so that Lin Mo could grow up in the future and protect the Peacock Spirit Clan. However, his injuries could not be delayed. If he could really be healed, in time, the Peacock Spirit Clan would definitely be able to produce a super powerhouse. Compared to Lin Mo¡¯s instability, only the power that was truly in his hands could be considered the best choice. ¡°Ten million!¡± Thinking up to this point, Kong Xiu did not hesitate and chose to increase the bid. As for Lin Mo¡¯s gift, he completely ignored it. His bid caused Lin Mo to be stunned. He turned his head to look at the servant girl who was delivering the message. After confirming that the servant girl had passed on the message, he was also taken aback. What was Kong Xiu doing? Didn¡¯t he tell him to stop bidding¡­ ¡°12 million.¡± The crown prince made another bid. The way the two of them were competing caused everyone to be speechless. They were simply not taking the spirit stones seriously¡­ Very quickly, under Lin Mo¡¯s gaze, both parties did not give in in the slightest. In the end, the price was raised to 20 million. Furthermore, from the looks of it, the price was still rising without any signs of stopping¡­ ¡°Hehe, I didn¡¯t expect the Peacock Spirit Clan to have so many resources while recuperating. What a surprise.¡± A cold sneer came from the Crown Prince¡¯s private room, and the smile on his face had already disappeared. He had just shouted out a high price of 25 million middle-grade spirit stones. During this period of time, he had mobilized too many resources. If this continued, it would really cause his father to be dissatisfied. ¡°Crown Prince, please forgive me. It¡¯s just that the value of this Nirvana Fire Stone is far from being determined by spirit stones. That¡¯s why I¡¯m bidding for it.¡± Kong Xiu was bidding again, and the current price had already risen to 27,000,000. At this time, even the crown prince didn¡¯t dare to raise the price anymore. Seeing this, Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the Crown Prince¡¯s private room, but there was still no movement. ¡°27 million going once!¡± ¡°27 million going twice!¡± ¡°27 million going thrice, sold. Congratulations to the Peacock Spirit Clan for successfully bidding for the Nirvana Fire Stone, and two drops of Nirvana Liquid as a bonus.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and announced that Kong Xiu had successfully bid. Meanwhile, his expression turned ugly as well, because the rebate on the Nirvana Fire Stone wasn¡¯t very high¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully bidding for the damaged Nirvana Fire Stone ] [ Triggered 5,000 times the rebate on the auction ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the damaged Nirvana Fire Stone ] Everything went going according to plan. The only problem was that the rebate wasn¡¯t good, as it was sold at a high price of 27,000,000. This price was already comparable to a spirit rank 9 martial arts and cultivation technique, and it was a complete set of cultivation techniques and martial arts. Even some earth rank spirit herbs could be bought. Therefore, Lin Mo didn¡¯t suffer a loss. The Nirvana Fire Stone that the rebate had given him contained quite a bit of nirvana liquid, but it was still too little. After he left, he went to the counter in advance, waiting for the customers to come and pick up the goods. ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve already promised that I can repair it¡­¡± Lin Mo felt a little melancholic. When he took away the Nirvana Fire Stone, he vowed that he would be able to repair it. However, only a portion of it had been repaired, and he didn¡¯t know what to do with the rest. He did a rough calculation. If he wanted to restore the Nirvana Fire Stone, he would need to invest at least a billion middle-grade spirit stones. Even so, he would probably only be able to recover a portion of it. ¡°Sigh, forget it. Let¡¯s wait and see. There¡¯s still some time.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Not long after, Kong Xiu walked out from the auction hall. When he saw Lin Mo, he walked up to him with a smile. ¡°Hehe, little friend Lin Mo, how have you been?¡± He cupped his fists at Lin Mo, wanting to explain his earlier bid. However, Lin Mo clearly didn¡¯t have the mood to say such things. He decisively took out a spatial ring and said, ¡°Since senior has successfully bid, this Nirvana Fire Stone should be yours.¡± Hearing this, Kong Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to be so cold. ¡°Little friend, Don¡¯t blame me. It¡¯s really just that this Nirvana Fire Stone is related to the fate of our clan. We have no choice¡­¡± Kong Xiu smiled apologetically and took out the spirit stones to pass to Lin Mo. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he saw that Lin Mo didn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood, so he turned around and left. ¡°Clan leader, this Lin Mo is already the eighth princess¡¯ subordinate. Is there a need to curry favor with him like this?¡± ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s just a junior in the Dragon Transformation Realm. So what if he¡¯s talented?¡± Just as he left, the elders of the Peacock Spirit Clan were already dissatisfied. They all spoke up, feeling that Kong Xiu was too enthusiastic towards a junior. Although he was a genius, he hadn¡¯t matured yet, so everything was hard to say. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ve let you see the embarrassing side¡­¡± Not long after the peacock spirit tribe left, the crown prince also arrived. His expression was similar to Lin Mo¡¯s, and both of them didn¡¯t look too good. This caused the crown prince to be stunned, and he looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯ve earned a large amount of spirit stones, why are you looking so miserable?¡± The crown prince asked. ¡°I said that the Nirvana Fire Stone was prepared for you, do you believe me?¡± Lin Mo forced out a smile and said. ¡°Of course I believe you. However, I¡¯m not capable enough to gather enough spirit stones.¡± The crown prince nodded his head. Regardless of whether what Lin Mo said was true or not, he liked to hear it. Furthermore, Lin Mo had reminded him from the start to bring more spirit stones. In his eyes, this was already showing goodwill. ¡°I wonder if brother Lin will be able to obtain any good treasures. I can prepare spirit stones in advance.¡± The two of them chatted for a while. Lin Mo looked at the crown prince¡¯s expectant expression and various thoughts appeared in his mind. The crown prince being able to mobilize the national treasury was a huge amount of resources. Although they were enemies, it wasn¡¯t as if they couldn¡¯t cooperate¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes. I¡¯ll make a trip out of the city to see if there are any.¡± Lin Mo smiled and sent the crown prince off. After exchanging all the remaining auction items, Lin Mo instructed Huixiang to purchase the auction items. As for himself, he went to the inner area of Yue Xuan to plan his future development. Suddenly, while he was deep in thought, a token on his waist suddenly flashed. Lin Mo opened his eyes and took the token off, feeling a little puzzled. After recalling it for a moment, he finally understood that it was the token that Tang Chen had given him back then. It could control the formation within Yue Xuan. At the same time, the formation could also remember the aura of the intruder. If the intruder were to barge in again, it would be activated immediately. ¡°You actually dare to come again?¡± Lin Mo said furiously. He really wanted to see just who the intruder was that actually treated his place like a back garden. His figure flashed, and he left the pergola that he had been sitting in for a long time. Following the command given by the token, he discovered the intruder near Yue Xuan¡¯s warehouse. There were three people in total wearing night clothes. They had entered through spatial runes and were planning to sneak into the warehouse to steal¡­ Chapter 349 - The Map of the Blood Soul Flame Chapter 349: the map of the Blood Soul Flame However, they didn¡¯t find anything. They had already searched one warehouse, but unfortunately, they didn¡¯t find anything. They were already a little impatient, because the second warehouse didn¡¯t have any treasures either. It was all empty. ¡°Damn it, could it be that this Lin Mo is carrying treasures with him?¡± These people cursed angrily. Generally speaking, it was best to take good care of precious spirit herbs, spirit pills, and the like. It wasn¡¯t suitable for them to be stored in a spatial magic tool for long periods of time. As time passed, it might result in the loss of spiritual energy, and the value of the treasure would be greatly reduced. However, they searched through two warehouses and found nothing. Just as they were about to search through the next warehouse, a ghostly voice appeared behind them. ¡°You guys are really bold. Not only did you steal once, you even dared to come here a second time. I¡¯m impressed.¡± The person who came was Lin Mo. he looked at these people. They all wore bamboo hats on their heads and were protected by special magical artifacts. It was very difficult for spiritual sense to penetrate them. ¡°Do it.¡± The person at the front shouted angrily. A jet-black dagger appeared in his hand and he aimed straight at Lin Mo¡¯s throat. At the same time, the two people at the back also took out their daggers and stabbed them at Lin Mo¡¯s vital points. The three of them had extremely tacit cooperation. It was likely that they often fought side by side. However, the current Lin Mo, whether it was his strength or battle strength, had received a huge increase. It could be said that no one under the Nirvana Realm could kill him. Looking at the three people¡¯s attacks, Lin Mo did not panic at all. He raised his hand and flicked it lightly. The dagger that was the first to stab him was bounced away. In an instant, the strength of a tier 29 Dragon Transformation Realm was displayed, causing the three people to turn pale with fright. ¡°You¡¯re too stubborn. Retreat.¡± The other two people were just about to leave when Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared behind them. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, why are you still leaving? Stay here.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. His finger was like a sword as he pointed at the centre of one of the people¡¯s brows. A dense sword qi burst out and pierced through the centre of the person¡¯s brows. Even his soul was unable to escape the emptiness. Following that, Lin Mo struck out with his palm. This person only lasted for a second before his body exploded and he died completely. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The person who was pushed away by Lin Mo was shocked. He wanted to retreat, but he realized that his back was cold. A sharp sword Qi was pressed against his back. ¡°Tell me, who are you? Where did you come from? Who sent you here?¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. As he spoke, he lifted the bamboo hat on this person¡¯s head, only to see a scene that shocked him. Below the bamboo hat was a rotting face. His facial features could barely be seen, but his face had already been disfigured. He could tell that this was caused by exposure to poison when he was young. The injury was to the soul, and it would be very difficult to treat it. Lin Mo grabbed the corpse of the other person and lifted the bamboo hat, only to see the exact same scene. ¡°Looks like the person you were ordered by has quite a strong background.¡± Looking at the situation, Lin Mo could roughly guess that these three people were the death attendants of a large faction. Destroying their appearances was also to allow for a better assassination. Even if they were left behind, there wouldn¡¯t be any evidence¡­ ¡°Pfft¡­ Cough cough!¡± While Lin Mo was observing, the person he grabbed coughed violently and spat out blood. The blood was black, and a corrosive smell emanated from it. ¡°He took poison and committed suicide¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Wasn¡¯t this a little too extreme? He wasn¡¯t willing to divulge any information and committed suicide just like that¡­ ¡°There are many factions that are enemies with me. I wonder which one¡­¡± In truth, they might not have come to find trouble with him. Before he took control of Yue Xuan, this place had already been robbed once. Of course, it wasn¡¯t completely without any gains. He had obtained some spirit stones from these people. Other than that, there was also a relatively complete and mysterious map. Lin Mo immediately stored it into the system space, wanting to see what kind of map this was. [ The map that recorded the area where the Blood Soul Flame appeared. Grade: Spirit Rank 1] The moment these words left his mouth, Lin Mo was stunned, his heart filled with shock. These people were still thinking about the Blood Soul Flame, just based on their strength? ¡°System, if I were to auction off this map, what would I earn back?¡± Lin Mo asked. As this map was complete, there wasn¡¯t anything that could be repaired. He was very curious about what would earn back. Who knows, he might be able to directly mark the location of the Blood Soul Flame, and he would be able to head over to look for it¡­ [ Two identical maps with rebates¡­ ] ¡°No way¡­¡± Lin Mo staggered and almost fell to the ground. ¡®Two identical maps with rebates? I¡¯ve already seen the map, what difference does it make whether you rebate or not¡­¡¯ ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t sell this thing.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. It just so happened that he had nothing to do now, so he could try to look for it. If he could find the Blood Soul Flame, even if he couldn¡¯t subdue it, he would at least get some benefits. After giving his instructions, he left the imperial city and swaggered around without any concealment. At the outskirts of the imperial city, in the mountains, quite a number of mercenary groups appeared, as well as a few exploration teams. They were all here for the bounty offered by the imperial family, intending to look for clues regarding the Blood Soul Flame. Along the way, Lin Mo also discovered some strange places. He even met some dangerous places and found a few high-quality spirit herbs among them. However, these places were all guarded by powerful ferocious beasts. Once they entered, they would be attacked crazily. Lin Mo tried his best, but he only managed to pick three spirit rank 6 spirit fruits before he had no choice but to flee far away. According to the map, Lin Mo found traces left behind by the Blood Soul Flame along the way. However, without exception, these places were of no value. The only unique feature was that the Blood Soul Flame had come before¡­ In the end, Lin Mo stopped at the last location on the map. This was a huge canyon. The crack below was pitch-black, and it was very empty and quiet. The crack was huge, and the space below was thousands of miles deep. Seeing such a strange phenomenon, Lin Mo hesitated. Did he really have to go down and take a look? The depths of the canyon gave him a palpitating feeling. Moreover, the high temperature coming from below was undoubtedly proof that there was dense fire attribute energy below. He took out the spatial formation plate that he had prepared and placed it outside. If it really didn¡¯t work in the end, he would use the teleportation formation and spatial talisman to escape. After making all the preparations, Lin Mo jumped down. The Kun Peng Wings spread and gradually flew into the canyon below. The light dimmed until it was pitch black. However, Lin Mo could feel that the surrounding temperature had increased. Even so, the depths of the canyon couldn¡¯t be seen, as if it had sunk into an abyss. Lin Mo stretched out his soul power and used his spiritual sense to check his surroundings. However, even after extending his soul power to the end, he still couldn¡¯t feel the walls. His surroundings were incomparably empty and pitch-black. An indescribable feeling of fear came from his heart. It was too big, too deep. There wasn¡¯t a single trace of light, nor was there a single trace of reliance¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Lin Mo didn¡¯t sense any danger, he would have even planned to leave this place. Flying downwards, Lin Mo slowed down his speed and was extremely vigilant. After diving for more than ten Li, a ray of light gradually appeared¡­ Chapter 350 - 10,000 As he continued to fly downwards, he finally landed on the ground after flying for over 50 li. There were some scarlet flames burning in the air. This was the aura of the Blood Soul Flame. What shocked Lin Mo was that this was an underground cave. It was very, very big. In front of him, there was a huge stalactite standing erect. He did not know how tall it was¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a work of God¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. In such a deep underground, other than the lava, there was probably only the karst cave. He walked in the karst cave. The Blood Soul Flame remnants around him were extinguished as soon as he got close. There were only some incomplete auras. ¡°Eh, that¡¯s not right. The Nirvana Fire Stone has absorbed the essence of the earth to grow. Can it speed up its recovery here?¡± After exploring for a while, Lin Mo recalled the introduction of the Nirvana Fire Stone. The spiritual energy in the underground karst cave became even denser. Even Lin Mo was shocked. He had just taken out the Nirvana Fire Stone when the surrounding spiritual energy was sucked in. As if he had found a vent, a huge amount of spiritual energy crazily poured into the Nirvana Fire Stone. Initially, Lin Mo could still hold it. However, as more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, the Nirvana Fire Stone became heavier and heavier. In the end, Lin Mo had no choice but to place it on the ground. ¡°Rumble.¡± Just as it touched the ground, the Nirvana Fire Stone exploded with an endless suction force. As it absorbed the spiritual energy, it also absorbed the essence of the earth. ¡°Drip¡­¡± In a short while, a drop of Nirvana liquid fell from the Nirvana Fire Stone, emitting a scorching aura. ¡°The effect is obvious¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He had hit the jackpot. Even if he didn¡¯t find the Blood Soul Flame this time, it wouldn¡¯t be a loss¡­ After hesitating for a moment, he felt that no one would come down. After setting up the formation around the Nirvana Fire Rock, Lin Mo continued to go deeper. He wanted to give it a try and perhaps find some information about the blood soul flame¡­ He held the desolation ancient sword and slowly advanced, using his spiritual sense to scan his surroundings. After that, the flame in front of him became more and more intense, making Lin Mo believe that the Blood Soul Flame was definitely in front of him. As he advanced, Lin Mo¡¯s senses became clearer and clearer. Half an hour later, he stopped in front of a pale yellow stalactite. There were cracks all around the stalactite, leading to the bottom. That was even deeper¡­ Lin Mo could feel an inexplicable aura pulling him towards the bottom to check. ¡°I don¡¯t feel any danger¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. After some thought, he passed through the crack and continued to descend. Just as he descended, light shone brightly. At the top where the stalactite was connected, there was a round jade stone. Wisps of divine light were emitted, accompanied by wisps of chaotic qi that lingered in front of Lin Mo. ¡°This is¡­ An underground mansion¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The space below was relatively small, and there was a mansion in the middle. The jade above was like the sun, illuminating everything¡­ ¡°Other than the jade above, there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything valuable¡­¡± After looking around the mansion, Lin Mo shook his head. It seemed like this place was just a ruin, and there was nothing good here. He walked towards the depths of the mansion and extended his soul power. After careful inspection, he finally discovered something different. In one of the courtyards of the mansion, there was a blood-colored lotus flower growing in a pond. ¡°This pond water¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He looked at the liquid in the pond. It was milky-yellow in color and a little thick. A stream of light flowed in all directions, giving off a faint fragrance. He tried to reach out his hand to scoop up the thick pond water. In an instant, his mind became clear, and an incomparably comfortable feeling flowed through his entire body. At this moment, he felt all the pores on his body open up, giving him an incomparable sense of relaxation¡­ With a thought, Lin Mo kept it into the system space. [10,000 year-old Earth Milk, after 10,000 years of tempering, condensed within stalactites. Each stalactite can only condense a drop after 10,000 years, containing a wisp of chaotic energy. Grade: Earth rank 7] ¡°Earth rank 7¡­¡± Lin Mo immediately felt his mouth dry and his breath almost stopped. It was an earth-grade treasure, and it was even earth rank 7. If this thing were to spread out, the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire would turn upside down. ¡°It seems like I can¡¯t sell it¡­¡± After being happy for a while, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that it seemed like it couldn¡¯t be used for auction. Putting everything else aside, if Yue Xuan dared to sell an earth-rank treasure, even Jiang Xiyue wouldn¡¯t be able to live past the next day¡­ The emperor allowed them to give the crown prince some setbacks, but he wouldn¡¯t allow them to defeat the crown prince¡­ Lin Mo forced himself to calm down. He used a jade bottle to divide the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk into five drops and carefully put them away. Following that, he took out a large pile of jade bottles and was about to collect all of the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk¡­ ¡°Chi!¡± Suddenly, a ball of scorching flames appeared behind Lin Mo. The terrifying high temperature made Lin Mo sweat profusely. Turning around, he saw a large ball of scarlet flames wrapping around the Nirvana Fire Stone that Lin Mo had just placed down. ¡°Blood Soul Flame?¡± Lin Mo jumped in fright. His figure flashed as he retreated quite a distance. Was the Blood Soul Flame that powerful? To be able to appear silently behind him without him noticing¡­ ¡°Buzz buzz¡­¡± While Lin Mo was on alert, the Blood Soul Flame ignored him and threw the Nirvana Fire Stone into the ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk Pond. In less than three seconds, the Nirvana Fire Stone burst into flames and the energy that it had lost had been fully recovered¡­ ¡°The effect is so good!¡± Lin Mo exclaimed. As expected of a treasure that contained a trace of chaotic energy. It could only form one drop in ten-thousand years. It was so terrifying¡­ The Blood Soul Flame returned to the Blood Lotus in the centre of the pond. The flame floated and fell into the pond. In the next moment, drops of ten thousand year earth milk splashed out from the pond. The jade bottle that Lin Mo placed on the ground was wrapped by the flame. It caught all of it and threw it to Lin Mo. ¡°A total of 37 drops of ten thousand year Earth Milk¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely shocked. It was fine that the Blood Soul Flame didn¡¯t attack him, but it gave him ten-thousand-year-old earth milk instead. In the next moment, the Nirvana Fire Stone flew up and was thrown to Lin Mo by the Blood Soul Flame. ¡°You have a spirit?¡± Lin Mo asked. For a ball of flame to be able to do this, its spirit should not be low. Otherwise, it would not be like this. The Blood Soul Flame trembled for a moment. Lin Mo felt that a somewhat cowardly spirit consciousness was approaching him. Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately put down his guard and extended his spirit consciousness, slowly approaching him. The moment they made contact, Lin Mo felt a searing pain in his soul. At the same time, a message was transmitted into his mind. ¡°Huancai Flame Demon¡­¡± There were only two words. In other words, Lin Mo was too weak and could only withstand it for a moment. As such, he could only hear two words. ¡°Huancai flame demon¡­ What are you trying to do?¡± Lin Mo asked. Without a doubt, the other party had sensed the aura of Lil ¡®Die on him. It was no wonder he was so generous¡­ ¡°¡­¡± The Blood Soul Flame moved a little, but it did not move. Lin Mo also did not sense the other party¡¯s spiritual sense¡­ ¡°So, the reason why you appeared was because you sensed the aura of the Huanghuai Fire Demon¡­¡± Lin Mo said to himself. This also explained why the battle between Jiang Xiyue and the fourth prince had drawn out the Blood Soul Flame. ¡°No matter what, thank you for the gift. The Huanghuai fire demon is my foster sister. If you don¡¯t have any ill intentions, I can bring it to you,¡± Lin Mo said with a fist salute. From the beginning to the end, he did not sense any ill intentions from the Blood Soul Flame. Perhaps, this was an opportunity that belonged to Lil¡¯ Die¡­ Chapter 351 - News of the Blood Soul Flame ¡°Buzz Buzz!¡± While Lin Mo was speaking, the Blood Soul Flame fluctuated, as if it was emitting a joyful expression, with a hint of urging. Seeing this, Lin Mo looked around. After finding no abnormalities, he chose to leave. This was the location of the Blood Soul Flame, and he had Li¡¯ Die¡¯s aura. No wonder he could pass through unimpeded. He had obtained a great harvest this time. He had obtained 37 drops of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. Most importantly, the Nirvana Fire Stone had already recovered. Moreover, because it had been recovered by the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, there was a bit of primal chaos qi lingering around it. He took out a spatial talisman in his hand. After crushing it, Lin Mo was successfully transported to the top of the crack. Suddenly, a chill suddenly came from behind him, and a living being pounced on him. The wind howled, bringing with it a cold aura. Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings flapped. He quickly dodged, and when it looked back, it was shocked. There was a group of creatures that looked like beastmen. Their bodies were snow-white, and they had sharp claws, ferocious fangs, and empty eyes. They looked like walking corpses. However, the auras on their bodies were all very powerful. When their auras spread out, it made people¡¯s hearts palpitate. Other than that, there was also a spatial fluctuation. The space around these beastmen was sealed. Lin Mo was astonished. These lifeforms were very strange. They had signs of life, but they were like puppets. These beastmen attacked Lin Mo, but it seemed like they couldn¡¯t leave the crack. As soon as they appeared, the power on their bodies rapidly dissipated, and after a dozen seconds, they were all reduced to ashes. In the end, these beastmen dispersed, turning into a pile of white powder. ¡°What a strange spell.¡± Looking at the powder, Lin Mo was extremely shocked. Before this, these were still a group of monsters with astonishing strength¡­ The reason why he was able to descend was because of the permission of the Blood Soul Flame¡­ After some investigation, he discovered that as long as someone entered the crack and entered a certain range, some spell runes would be activated. These runes would form some powerful monsters that would guard this place and not allow anyone to come near. Lin Mo scanned his surroundings and found some hidden runes on some cliffs. They were extremely profound, and he couldn¡¯t see anything abnormal¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the method of the technique. It surpasses the method and is weaker than the Dao¡­¡± He muttered to himself. He knew very little about the technique. Although he had the incomplete technique of an archaic divine beast, he could only use it. If he wanted to comprehend it, he simply couldn¡¯t. This wasn¡¯t something he could come into contact with at his level¡­ Now, he was facing a problem. ¡°I don¡¯t know what the Bloody Soul Flame¡¯s goal is in finding Lil¡¯ Die. I still have to investigate it from many sources¡­¡± He felt that his knowledge was too little. If he didn¡¯t know the Bloody Soul Flame¡¯s goal, it would be great if Bai Luo was here¡­ He returned along the way and found traces of many mercenary groups, asking for information. This surprised him because the Blood Soul Flame appeared again. It was not far away in the valley. However, when everyone discovered it, the Blood Soul Flame had already left. These people didn¡¯t give up and continued to search. In the end, they provoked a Nirvana Realm demonic beast and half of their men were killed. The remaining experts fled in panic and didn¡¯t dare to stay. ¡°What did you say? The people from the Divine Secrets Holy Land said that they found traces of the Blood Soul Flame through the prophecy?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. On the way, he got to know a few people and travelled together to inquire about the news. The Divine Secrets Holy Land, the strongest Holy Land in the Eastern Continent, sent people to meet the Emperor and tell him the specific news of the Blood Soul Flame. This place was not simple. It was said that the origin of the great chaos had come from the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡­ ¡°Crown Prince Jiang Cheng had once gone to the Divine Secrets Holy Land for training and was hailed as the strongest genius in the eastern continent¡­¡± Lin Mo recalled a legend. These were all disadvantageous to him. Compared to the other princes, the crown prince¡¯s advantage was too great. If the crown prince received the support of the Divine Secrets Holy Land, then the entire Yanhuang Divine Dynasty would definitely fall into his control. After all, the strength of the Divine Secrets Holy Land was not weaker than that of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It was not something that other sacred lands could compare to. Not long after, Lin Mo returned to the Imperial City. He went to the Purple Moon Palace through the teleportation array and flipped through Jiang Xiyue¡¯s books. He found a lot of information about the Blood Soul Flame, but it was all ambiguous. He did not know if it could be trusted. Most importantly, he did not find any connection between the Blood Soul Flame and the Huancai Fire Demon. The only similarity was that they were both born from nature. ¡°Sigh, I still can¡¯t find anything¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He searched Jiang Xiyue¡¯s library for five days but couldn¡¯t find any clues. On the contrary, Lin die came out of seclusion. Ever since she went to refine the blood spirit crystal, she had been in seclusion and didn¡¯t make any movements. After such a long time, she finally came out of seclusion. ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± Just as Lil¡¯ Die came out of closed-door cultivation, she saw Lin Mo who was guarding outside and immediately pounced over happily. Her little head rubbed against Lin Mo¡¯s chest. Lin Die was extremely excited and actively reported the results of her cultivation to Lin Mo. . ¡°Yes, the 20th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm is not bad. However, you have to stabilize your realm properly from now on.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Lil Die had made great progress. She had gone through another metamorphosis. ¡°By the way, Lil¡¯ Die, do you know about the Blood Soul Flame?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had searched for five days and found nothing. There was nothing he could do now. ¡°Blood Soul Flame? What¡¯s That?¡± Lin Die raised her head with a puzzled look on her face. This was the first time she had heard of the so-called Blood Soul Flame. ¡°The blood spirit crystal you refined earlier was produced from the Blood Soul Flame. Didn¡¯t Xiyue tell you?¡± Lin Mo was confused. Lin Die shook her head and said, ¡°Sister Xiyue only gave me one blood spirit crystal and told me to go into seclusion.¡± She curled her lips in dissatisfaction and looked at Lin Mo. why didn¡¯t she tell her anything¡­ After chatting with Xiao Die for a while, Lin Mo took out a drop of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk and let Lil¡¯ Die drink it. ¡°Big Brother, what treasure is this? It¡¯s so powerful¡­¡± After Lin die drank it, she felt the surging power in her Dantian and was shocked beyond words. ¡°Ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. After drinking it, it can subtly improve one¡¯s physique. You take good care of it in the Purple Moon Palace. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Lin Mo gently rubbed Lin Die¡¯s head and stood up to bid her farewell. Since Lil¡¯ Die didn¡¯t know the effect of the Blood Soul Flame on her, he had to find someone new to ask. However, the Blood Soul Flame was so precious that it was impossible for ordinary people to know. Perhaps the people of the Divine Secrets Holy Land would know, but obviously they wouldn¡¯t tell him. Moreover, if he really went to ask, he might expose Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s information and attract prying eyes. ¡°Go ask Senior Luo, ¡°Lin Mo said to himself. He also sent some ten-thousand-year-old earth milk to Jiang Xiyue and returned the Nirvana Fire Stone. Without alerting anyone, Lin Mo used the spirit-holding technique and announced to the public that he was in seclusion. Then, he quietly left Purple Moon Palace. He returned to Yue Xuan through the teleportation formation, put on his bamboo hat, and left the imperial city quietly. Chapter 352 - The Mysterious Holy Land of Divine Secrets With the cover of the spirit-holding spell, no one could follow Lin Mo. however, because there were many mercenary groups in the mountain range, Lin Mo was delayed for some time. It was only three days later that he arrived at the place where the Flame God Army was stationed. There were still people exploring and looking for clues in this dangerous place. Lin Mo quietly went deep into the place. Using the memories that Jiang Xiyue had taken her through, he smoothly arrived at the central area. ¡°She hasn¡¯t come out of seclusion yet?¡± In a corner, a ball of golden light was extremely quiet. There were no fluctuations emitted from it. However, if one were to seriously comprehend it, one would be able to feel that there was an extremely mysterious aura being released from it. ¡°I¡¯ve seen it. Palace master has obtained a great fortune. When she comes out of seclusion again, her strength should be able to reach the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Luo Haoyu said. He did not know what Jiang Xiyue had eaten, but he could vaguely guess it. According to the aura that the flame divine army had sensed before, it must be the true dragon bloodline. Although he did not know why he had another true dragon bloodline, he was very happy that Jiang Xiyue¡¯s talent could be improved. ¡°It¡¯s improved so much?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Jiang Xiyue was just a little over 20 years old. An ordinary person might not be able to reach the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation realm in their lifetime, but she was already close to it¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right. Besides, there¡¯s a dragon¡¯s aura around the palace master that¡¯s repelling us. It¡¯s very extraordinary,¡±Luo Haoyu said. Hearing that, Lin Mo tried to walk forward. A Faint Dragon¡¯s roar was heard slowly. ¡°You can¡¯t resist it. Otherwise, it¡¯ll affect your highness,¡± Luo Haoyu reminded. The dragon¡¯s aura was protecting Jiang Xiyue, preventing anyone from getting close. Although he could use his powerful strength to force his way over, it was hard to say whether it would affect her. ¡°Roar!¡± As Lin Mo got closer, the dragon¡¯s roar became more intense. The dragon¡¯s aura came pressing down, trying to push Lin Mo back. This was subconscious protection, and it was not aggressive. However, in the next moment, the black hole in Lin Mo¡¯s Dantian revolved, and the endless d ragon¡¯s aura was swallowed. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Haoyu was the first to sense that something was wrong. He wanted to stop Lin Mo, but he did not know what to do. He looked at Lin Mo. at this moment, the latter had already arrived in front of the Golden Ball of light. ¡°Xiyue, I brought you something good,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Although Jiang Xiyue might be in a deep sleep right now, he did not mind. He took out the Nirvana Fire Stone. ¡°Buzz Buzz.¡± As soon as the Nirvana Fire Stone appeared, the rich nirvana liquid bloomed. The place where Jiang Xiyue was was instantly melted into a huge pit by the Hot Nirvana Liquid. The golden ball of light fell and merged into the Nirvana liquid. ¡°How is this possible?¡± Behind them, Bing Xin, Luo Haoyu, and even the flame god Army soldiers who were watching from afar were all dumbfounded. That was because what Lin Mo had taken out was the treasure that he had taken away previously. The treasure that could maintain the life force of the entire danger zone. Initially, when Lin Mo said that it could be repaired, they didn¡¯t think much of it, thinking that he was just bluffing. However, from the looks of it now, something didn¡¯t seem right¡­ ¡°How did he do it?¡± Bing Xin couldn¡¯t believe it as she muttered. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me, this old man really wants to know too¡­¡± Luo Hao Yu shook his head bitterly. This was simply unimaginable. They had never even heard of such a treasure. However, they knew that it was at least at Earth rank 5 and above. Recovering it was easier said than done. The reality before their eyes made it hard for them to calm down. However, they had no choice but to accept this reality. Lin Mo had really recovered this treasure. Furthermore, it looked even more powerful than before. The energy within was extremely dense. ¡°This is the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. One drop is enough to transform you. Cultivate well¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and took out a jade bottle. He dripped a drop of the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk onto the ball of light that Jiang Xiyue had turned into. Just as it dripped, wisps of chaotic energy surrounded Jiang Xiyue and enveloped her. In an instant, the golden ball of light disappeared. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s aura became weaker and weaker until it was finally undetectable. After doing all this, he retreated. With the Nirvana Fire Stone and a drop of ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk, Jiang Xiyue would definitely be able to achieve the most perfect transformation. ¡°What did you do after that?¡± Seeing Lin Mo Retreat, Luo Haoyu hurriedly asked. Originally, they could still sense Jiang Xiyue¡¯s aura, but now it was blocked by the primal Chaos Qi. Without a doubt, all of this was related to the drop of liquid that Lin Mo dropped. ¡°Earth rank 7, ten-thousand-year-old Earth milk. This drop is for Elder Luo.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a jade bottle, handing it to Luo Hao Yu. ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk! These words kept echoing in Luo Hao Yu¡¯s mind, and he looked at Lin Mo without saying a word for a long time. Even though the royal family had earth grade treasures, they didn¡¯t have many, and they were all rank 1 and 2. Now that Lin Mo had taken out a 7th tier Earth grade treasure, he was even so generous as to give him a drop¡­ ¡°Where did you get it from?¡±L uo Haoyu stretched out his hand, wanting to take it but hesitating. This gift was too heavy. Furthermore, this drop of ten-thousand-yeaold earth milk was very helpful to his subsequent cultivation. The most suitable ones were only Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. Other than that, Lin Die was also suitable. A person like him who had lived for more than half his life had already missed the golden age of training. ¡°Elder Luo, please accept it. I¡¯ve heard from Xiyue that you¡¯re the only top-notch expert by her side. How could she miss you if she has a treasure?¡± Lin Mo stuffed the ten-thousand-year-old Earth milk into Luo Haoyu¡¯s hands and said. This made Bing Xin, who was watching from the side, extremely envious. An earth grade 7 treasure. Not to mention seeing it, she hadn¡¯t even heard anyone mention it before because it was too precious. ¡°This¡­ Many thanks to little friend Lin Mo. .¡± Luo Hao Yu trembled as he put away the ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk, unable to hide the excitement in his heart. He was certain that as long as he consumed this drop of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, his strength would increase. Whether it was in terms of lifespan or talent, perhaps he would be able to break through to a higher realm through cultivation in the future. ¡°Elder Luo, you don¡¯t have to stand on ceremony. It just so happens that this junior still has some questions to ask.¡± Lin Mo said. He and Luo Hao Yu came to the top of a volcano and asked about the Blood Soul Flame. ¡°Oh, little friend, are you interested in the Blood Soul Flame?¡± Luo Hao Yu was not surprised. This kind of precious treasure that was born naturally was indeed worth pursuing. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ve seen the Blood Soul Flame. This ten-thousand-year-old Earth milk was obtained from it.¡± Lin Mo did not hide anything and told the truth of what he knew. ¡°What did you say?¡± Luo Hao Yu was shocked and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. He did not expect Lin Mo to be so lucky to be able to see the Blood Soul Flame. Furthermore, not only did he not die, he could even obtain some benefits¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve read many ancient books and know many mysterious treasures. However, I know very little about the Blood Soul Flame¡­¡± Luo Haoyu shook his head. He told Lin Mo that it was actually very simple to know about the Blood Soul Flame. Didn¡¯t the people from the Divine Secrets Sacred Land come to the Imperial City? As long as they were willing to pay a visit, they would definitely know more than he did. ¡°What does the Divine Secrets Holy Land do?¡± Lin Mo asked. Before he came here, he had already heard about the Devine Secrets Holy Land. Chapter 353 - Feasting However, he knew very little. He only knew that the Divine Secrets Holy Land was the strongest holy land in the eastern continent. At the same time, it was also the only force among the ten great holy lands that was not weaker than the four great divine dynasties. The other Holy Lands depended on the divine dynasties to survive, while the Divine Secrets Holy Land was an existence on equal footing with the divine dynasties. ¡°The reason why the Divine Secrets Holy Land is so powerful is because they are proficient in the art of calculation. They are known to be knowledgeable about the past, present, and future.¡± ¡°The reason why they are here this time is probably because the emperor invited them here to calculate the information about the blood soul flame.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not necessary, I advise you not to get involved¡­¡±Luo Haoyu reminded him. Both he and Jiang Xiyue were the crown prince¡¯s eyesores. If they were to jump too much, they might be killed. ¡°Know everything about the past, present, and future. Is that true?¡±Lin Mo didn¡¯t quite believe it. Could the people from the divine secrets sacred land calculate that he didn¡¯t belong to this world? Could they calculate that he had a system? He believed that they couldn¡¯t, because he didn¡¯t believe it. He didn¡¯t believe that anyone could really know everything about the past, present, and future. Perhaps they could calculate what had happened in the past. But regarding the future, who could truly calculate it? Perhaps they could only have a rough idea, but it was impossible to calculate the exact details. For example, they could know that there would be great chaos in the eastern continent, but they couldn¡¯t predict what kind of chaos it would be¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a little exaggerated. For mortals, they might really be able to predict that person¡¯s life.¡± ¡°However, for cultivators, they shouldn¡¯t be able to. They can only make a simple prediction.¡± Luo Haoyu explained. However, this was already very powerful. Who could predict the future? It was already rare to be able to calculate one or two things¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go and ask¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. After chatting with Luo Haoyu for a while, he bade farewell and left. However, he did not return immediately. Instead, he searched the mountain range, creating a message for others that he was out to look for the Blood Soul Flame. Five days later, Lin Mo returned to the Imperial City. Just as he arrived, Huixiang sent a message saying that the warehouse had piled up quite a number of treasures and that they could participate in the auction¡­ ¡°What did you say? The auction items sent by the Crown Prince and the Sacred Land of Divine Secrets?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was a little interesting. The crown prince¡¯s treasures were not being sold by his own business group, but he was giving him the benefits instead¡­ What was he thinking? ¡°What kind of treasures do you have?¡± Huixiang hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°This is a list. The owner will know once you take a look.¡± She handed over a list and a storage ring. Ever since the warehouse was stolen, she had not let go of any treasures in the warehouse. She had always carried all the treasures that she had bought with her. Lin Mo accepted all of them and looked at the list. ¡°Spirit Rank 1, Golden Light Flower.¡± ¡°Spirit Rank 2, Radiant Sun Fruit.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Spirit Rank 5, Green Tuckahoe Pill.¡± ¡°Spirit Rank 6, wind and cold attribute cultivation method, wind frost art.¡± ¡°Spirit rank 7, heavenly reflection fruit¡­¡± After roughly looking at the list, Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. This was enough to hold a large-scale auction. ¡°Even the heavenly reflection fruit, he¡¯s really willing to¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little speechless. He even felt that there was something wrong with the crown prince. If all of these treasures were auctioned off, he would be able to earn at least 100 million middle grade spirit stones. A 5% commission would be a net income of 5 million. This was even after excluding the possibility of him auctioning off the rebate system¡­ ¡°Who cares? Treasures that are delivered to our doorstep, don¡¯t waste them¡­¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. He couldn¡¯t be bothered with the crown prince¡¯s intentions. After all, he had the rebate system, so he wouldn¡¯t lose anything. ¡°When will you set the auction date?¡±Lin Mo asked. ¡°Tomorrow Night¡­¡±Huixiang said. The crown prince and the Sacred Land of Divine Secrets had already urged her to hurry up with the auction. Helpless, she could only arrange the auction first. The invitation had already been sent out. ¡°Alright, Tomorrow Night. There¡¯s still some time¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded and got someone to send the invitation over. He invited the Crown Prince and an elder from the sacred land of divine secrets to come over as guests. After some thought, he decided to set the location at the restaurant under Yue Xuan¡¯s banner. The Red Dust restaurant was Yue Xuan¡¯s property. However, it was managed by someone and there was no auction, so Lin Mo didn¡¯t pay much attention to it before. After booking the room, Lin Mo asked Huixiang to make the arrangements. At the same time, he went to Purple Moon Palace to invite the powerhouse that Jiang Xiyue was supporting to come out. There were so many treasures, and Tang Chen wasn¡¯t around. Although Yue Xuan had a large array, someone still had to be in charge. If they were to cause trouble at Yue Xuan¡¯s headquarters, Jiang Xiyue would lose all her face. No matter how much she retaliated, it would be useless. ¡°Owner, the crown prince has always wanted to rope you in. Now that you¡¯ve invited him to a banquet, what about the palace master?¡± Huixiang reminded in a low voice. She was promoted by Tang Chen and allowed by Jiang Xiyue to manage Yue Xuan, so she was naturally loyal. She felt that it was necessary to remind Lin Mo of what he had done. ¡°Why? Are you worried that I¡¯ll betray you?¡±Lin Mo felt that it was a little funny. At the same time, he nodded slightly. At least Jiang Xiyue¡¯s subordinates did not have any soft bones. ¡°Just do as you¡¯re told. As for what happened here, you can report it truthfully.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Anyway, even if Jiang Xiyue knew what he did, she would not care. At most, she would just ask and see what benefits she could get from inviting the crown prince to a banquet¡­ ¡°Yes!¡± Huixiang nodded and left. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a jade talisman and crushed it¡­ Lin Mo saw everything she did and couldn¡¯t help but nod again. The purpose of inviting the Divine Secrets Holy Land was naturally to ask about the blood soul flame. After all, to outsiders, he was often out looking for the Blood Soul Flame. Since that was the case, inviting the divine armament sacred land to ask about the blood soul flame seemed to be a matter of course. Lin Mo returned to the backyard and finished his work in the pergola that he often stayed in. He closed his eyes to rest. In his mind, the blacksmith master¡¯s inheritance that the system had given him appeared. Other than that, he also saw some methods of making spatial magic tools. Every single one of them was very precious. ¡°With my current strength, forging a rank 6 spatial magic tool shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He didn¡¯t know much about the laws of space. Moreover, he didn¡¯t plan to comprehend the laws of space just to forge a spatial magic tool. He would just let nature take its course. Right now, he was already very familiar with the understanding of the flame laws. The more he comprehended, the more shocked he was. In a short period of time, he shouldn¡¯t be able to comprehend other laws. Of course, the laws in the devouring God body were an exception. This was something he was born with. As the devouring God body devoured, it would gradually show itself. After looking at the forging method for a while, Lin Mo ordered people to find the materials. He took out the DAO Flame and started to burn it. After a series of experiments, Lin Mo failed a few times. In the end, he actually managed to forge a rank 7 spatial magic tool¡­ Demon Refining Bowl, a spatial magic tool that could store living things. It could sustain life for three hours, and life within the bowl would die completely within four hours. ¡°There are some limitations, but overall, it¡¯s not bad. It has a miraculous effect on exploring secret realms¡­¡±Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. After carefully studying the demon refining bowl, Lin Mo put it away. The agreed time was also at night. Looking at the Darkening Sky, Lin Mo got up and left. The crown prince and the Sacred Land of divine secrets should have left as well¡­ Chapter 354 - I’ve Spent Too Much Money Everyone in the world knew that the red dust house was owned by Jiang Xiyue. It was mostly used to entertain important guests. Usually, those who could come in to spend money were not ordinary people. At a glance, the decorations in the building were very luxurious. There were some potted plants around, and the spiritual herbs were planted inside. A maid walked over, dressed in a long dress. She bowed respectfully and said, ¡°Lord Lin, please come with me.¡± The maid of the red dust house was even more beautiful than the maid of Yue Xuan¡¯s headquarters. She moved lightly with her lotus steps, exuding a graceful grace. The Red Dust House¡¯s interior was very large. Even Lin Mo was taken aback. To be decorated so extravagantly, it must have consumed a lot of financial resources. No wonder he had accidentally heard that some noble families would come to places similar to the red dust house for banquets. Such extravagant spending was enough to satisfy their vanity. Lin Mo was now the Master of the Moon Pavilion. When the pavilion master heard that Lin Mo was coming, he immediately arranged for the best private room. Under the guidance of the maid, Lin Mo walked through the corridors and came to the depths. The private room was very large. The crown prince and the elders of the Divine Secrets Holy Land had not arrived yet. Lin Mo sat on the soft sofa, as if his entire body was going to sink in, and he felt extremely comfortable. A jar of spirit wine brewed from spirit rank spirit herbs was brought up. This type of spirit wine could be considered top notch even within the imperial city. Normally, even the heads of some large clans wouldn¡¯t be willing to drink it. Lin Mo lifted the lid, poured himself a cup, and slowly tasted it. The fragrance of the wine lingered on his lips and teeth, and the fragrance of the wine revolved around Lin Mo¡¯s body. Before long, a cup of wine was downed. At this moment, there was also a knock on the door. Other than that, there were also respectful voices. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The door opened. The crown prince was dressed in white, and there was a young man beside him. There was a hint of arrogance between his brows. The two of them walked in. The crown prince smiled at Lin Mo and sat across from him. The crown prince had a smile on his face. Ever since Lin Mo had invited him to a banquet, he had been unable to suppress the excitement in his heart. That¡¯s right. When the people from the Divine Secrets Holy Land had arrived at the imperial city, he had looked for them and asked them how he could rope Lin Mo in. After some calculations, he had come to the conclusion that he should participate more in Lin Mo¡¯s auction¡­ This made them puzzled. However, out of his trust in the Divine Secrets Holy Land, he endured the pain and did as he was told. Although it would help Jiang Xiyue¡¯s power, he wasn¡¯t worried. The truth made him happy. Lin Mo had failed to find the blood soul flame, so when he heard the news, he invited him to a banquet. The crown prince smiled and said, ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re too polite. Just find an inn. There¡¯s no need to come to the red dust house.¡± Lin Mo smiled and said, ¡°Your Highness, since you¡¯re taking care of my business, I naturally have to entertain you well.¡± The crown prince nodded and smiled, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble brother Lin to spend the money. The red dust restaurant¡¯s expenses are very expensive. Even I only come once on my birthday¡­¡± Lin Mo picked up the wine jar and poured wine for the crown prince and the young man beside him. After the dishes and wine were served, Lin Mo raised his glass and asked, ¡°Oh right, I have yet to ask, what is this brother¡¯s name?¡± He looked at the middle-aged man. This was the person he wanted to invite. In order to find out about the Blood Soul Flame, he had spent a lot of effort¡­ ¡°Li Long.¡± The young man raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He spoke his name as if he was a man of few words. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t blame him. Senior brother Li has such a personality. He doesn¡¯t like to communicate with others.¡± The crown prince quickly tried to smooth things over. He jokingly said, ¡°Oh right, brother Lin, you should host the auction tomorrow. If not, then I won¡¯t Go and watch.¡± ¡°That depends on the situation. You know, I¡¯ve been looking for news about the Blood Soul Flame recently.¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. Couldn¡¯t the crown prince conceal his intention to rope him in? It was too obvious¡­ ¡°Is it still for my father¡¯s bounty?¡±T he crown prince asked. The current bounty had already changed. Not only was it the blood spirit crystal, but it could also be added with a spirit rank 8 magic tool. If one didn¡¯t want a magic tool, they could also exchange it for a cultivation technique or martial arts. As long as it was something that the palace treasury had, they could give it, provided that the information was valid¡­ ¡°Give it up, the bounty will be cancelled very soon,¡±vLi Long said at this moment. ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re hosting a banquet, I¡¯ll tell you the truth. The Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land has already met the emperor and used the heaven¡¯s projection algorithm to calculate the location of the Blood Soul Flame.¡± Li Long said, telling Lin Mo not to waste his efforts and to properly manage the auction. ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± Lin Mo sighed, poured himself a cup and drank it in one gulp. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin, don¡¯t be disappointed. If you really want the blood spirit crystal, you can come find me. With our relationship, it¡¯s not impossible to give you one.¡± The crown prince smiled and advised Lin Mo. the Blood Soul Flame was hard to find, so it was not a shameful thing to not be able to find it. The banquet continued. Lin Mo was full from wine and rice, and was extremely satisfied with the dishes of the red dust restaurant. He didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and ordered all the expensive dishes and wine, warmly entertaining Li Long and the crown prince. This made Li long feel a little unnatural. He had clearly come here arrogantly, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and enjoyed them together. During this period of time, Lin Mo had also successfully gotten what he wanted. There was a lot of information regarding the Blood Soul Flame, and it was extremely rare. It was Li long who had divined it for him on the spot. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t worry. I can¡¯t calculate the future of a diviner or anything like that, but what¡¯s the use of a type of natural treasure? Its properties are simply easy to calculate,¡± Li Long said with his tongue hanging wide open. The wine here was brewed using spirit rank spirit herbs, and it contained rich spirit energy. The three of them were currently drunk. However, after getting what they wanted, Lin Mo didn¡¯t care anymore. After all, he didn¡¯t have any enmity with the Divine Secrets Holy Land, so he just wanted to treat them to a meal¡­ After finishing their meal, the crown prince and Li Long left, leaving Lin Mo alone in the private room. He opened the jade talisman that Li Long gave him, and what was written on it was everything about the blood soul flame. It couldn¡¯t be said to be complete, but it was very detailed. The reason for the birth of the Blood Soul Flame was written in it. It was actually born from the aura of chaos. It was a well-deserved innate spiritual item. Anyone who could tame it could basically be said to have half a foot on the path to Immortal Ascension. As long as one¡¯s talent was not ruthless, one would definitely be able to accomplish great things. Of course, the Blood Soul Flame¡¯s intelligence was not low either. Some of the Blood Soul Flames even possessed intelligence that was not inferior to humans¡­ Unfortunately, there was still no mention of any connection between the Blood Soul Flame and the Huan Cai Fire Demon. ¡°Let¡¯s auction it off and see how detailed the rebate is¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head and didn¡¯t stay any longer. He called for a maid to clean up the dishes. His mind was also a little groggy. With so much spirit energy in his stomach, even the god devouring body wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it. The spirit energy in his body was abundant and warm, and he really wanted to fall asleep. However, his muddled state didn¡¯t last for long before he was awakened by the servant girl¡¯s shock. Lin Mo¡¯s exclamation immediately resounded throughout the entire private room¡­ ¡°What did you say? You Ate 1,100,000 middle-grade spirit stones for this meal?¡± Chapter 355 - The White Tiger Marquis surrenders Even though the owner didn¡¯t ask for any spirit stones from him, the look in his eyes was filled with resentment. A million middle-grade spirit stones were gone just like that. Anyone would feel sorry for him. Lin Mo felt extremely sorry for him. No wonder the wine contained so much spirit energy. It was actually so expensive¡­ Lin Mo slept through the night and only woke up the next afternoon. The spiritual energy accumulated in his body had already been absorbed, and his cultivation realm had also been stabilized. ¡°It¡¯s not unreasonable for it to be a little more expensive¡­¡± Lin mo muttered to himself. He would have to invite Bai Luo to taste it some other day. She would definitely pay attention to the happenings at the Red Dust Restaurant. As the sun set, the Yue Xuan auction was held as scheduled, and the crowd swarmed over one by one. What shocked Lin Mo even more was that a guest had arrived the day before the auction. ¡°Greetings, Lord White Tiger Marquis.¡±Huixiang, who was behind Lin Mo, bowed. Lin Mo also looked at the White Tiger Marquis in surprise. This person¡¯s aura was a little strong, and the faint dragon aura that he emitted made Lin Mo even more certain. The person in front of him had already refined the true dragon bloodline. ¡°Senior, have you refined the true dragon bloodline? How is it? Is this spirit stone worth it?¡± Lin Mo said with a faint smile. The White Tiger Marquis was able to obtain such benefits from devouring such a level of true dragon bloodline. His strength was almost on par with Luo Haoyu¡¯s. On the other hand, Jiang Xiyue had devoured the true dragon¡¯s heart blood. Other than that, she also had many natural treasures, blood spirit crystals, ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk, and the help of the Nirvana Fire Stone. She was afraid that when she came out of seclusion, she would have accumulated enough to successfully break through the Nirvana Realm¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me for my great kindness. If there¡¯s anything you need in the future, just say the word. If I say no, my Dao heart will collapse and my strength will regress and die.¡± The White Tiger Marquis said straightforwardly. This determination surprised even Lin Mo. ¡°Senior, have you thought about it?¡±Lin Mo asked. Originally, he had wanted to obtain the friendship of the White Tiger Marquis. In the future, if there was a need, he would be able to request his help and the White Tiger Marquis would not reject it. Who would have thought that the White Tiger Marquis would actually stand on their side? Furthermore, he had even made an oath. If he returned, his dao heart would suffer a problem, and he might even die a tragic death. ¡°You might not be able to imagine what benefits you have brought me. I have thought it through. You can tell the eighth princess that I will continue my closed door cultivation.¡± After the White Tiger Marquis finished speaking, he planned to leave. ¡°Senior, please wait a moment. There¡¯s an auction tonight. You can participate in it. If you see anything, feel free to place a bid.¡± Lin Mo spoke out to stop him. It just so happened that there weren¡¯t many people overseeing this place. Even though he had invited an elder from the Purple Moon Palace, he didn¡¯t mind having one more. The White Tiger Marquis Thought for a moment before nodding his head. He didn¡¯t refuse. After letting Huixiang bring the White Tiger Marquis to arrange a private room, Lin Mo walked out from the backstage and walked onto the auction stage. The moment he appeared, the noisy atmosphere in the hall quieted down. ¡°Welcome to the Yue Xuan auction. I am Lin Mo, the auctioneer of this auction.¡± ¡°There are a lot of treasures today. Everyone will definitely have an eye-opening experience. Don¡¯t miss out, guests who have the money.¡± Lin Mo was becoming more and more familiar with the techniques of the auction. A few simple sentences had already stirred up the excitement of the auction. Looking at the crowd that was discussing fervently below, Lin Mo waved his hand and a maid walked up from behind. ¡°Let¡¯s welcome our first item for today¡¯s auction.¡± The red cloth was lifted by Lin Mo. Lying on the silver plate was a pale yellow chrysanthemum with golden patterns on its petals. ¡°This is Jinrui Chrysanthemum. It has the effect of refining a golden body, and at the same time, it has the effect of increasing one¡¯s Qi and blood. If an old senior were to consume it, he would be able to extend his life by a hundred years.¡± ¡°Spirit rank 5, Jinrui Chrysanthemum. Starting bid, 400,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo dropped his hammer and announced the start of the auction. Meanwhile, the crowd below exploded. This was a good item. Especially for some old men and women, their eyes were wide open. Most of these people were people who didn¡¯t have much time left. Now that they saw a treasure that could extend one¡¯s lifespan, all of them were eager to bid. Even in the private room, there were a few people who were tempted. Extending one¡¯s lifespan was too rare. ¡°Four hundred and ten thousand.¡± ¡°Four hundred and twenty thousand.¡± ¡°Four hundred and fifty thousand.¡± The price began to rise, and there were people bidding one after another. This kind of good treasure naturally made the wave of auctions even more intense. Some people wanted to use it to refine a golden body to make themselves stronger, and these were mostly middle-aged men and young men. In the end, the auction price was fixed at seven hundred and twenty-five thousand middle-grade spirit stones. The bidder was an old man in the hall. He was as thin as a stick, and his aura was very weak. This was already a person who had half a foot in the coffin. Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. He was about to die of old age, no wonder he was fighting so hard for it. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this guest for successfully bidding for Jin Rui Ju at the price of 25,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer, and the old man couldn¡¯t wait to take out the spirit stones, wanting to make a deal on the spot. He didn¡¯t refuse, and got the maid to bring the Jinrui Chrysanthemum down. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 5 Jinrui Chrysanthemum ] [ You have successfully triggered 2,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for successfully obtaining the spirit rank 7 Heavenly Golden Chrysanthemum ] The effects of this heavenly golden chrysanthemum were the same as that of the Jinrui Chrysanthemum, and the strength of the golden body refined was about the same. However, it could extend one¡¯s lifespan by 500 years, and that was the most precious thing about it. ¡°Those old seniors who can provide for Xiyue¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. It would be a bit of a waste for him to devour such a treasure. After all, he didn¡¯t need a golden body, nor did he need to extend his lifespan. After taking a brief look, Lin Mo waved his hand, and a maid immediately walked up with a silver plate. Due to the crown prince and the Divine Secrets Holy Land, he had a lot of items up for auction. Therefore, unless it was a treasure that he wasn¡¯t clear about, he had neglected the part where he showed it to the guests in the private room. ¡°Many people have welcomed the starting items, and Lin Mo has also used this to auction off some low-level treasures.¡± Due to this, he had obtained a lot of high-quality items that returned a profit, allowing his collection to once again become rich. A full hour had passed, and Lin Mo didn¡¯t fail to auction off a single item, which made him very satisfied. ¡°This next item is a little special. I¡¯ve set a price for it at Spirit Rank 1. I wonder if any of you are interested.¡± Lin Mo smiled as a maid walked up from behind. The red cloth was lifted, and on the silver plate lay a bamboo slip that didn¡¯t have any spiritual energy fluctuations. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m ashamed to say this. A while ago, I often went out to look for information on the Blood Soul Flame. I was a little greedy, and my goal was to offer a reward¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s straightforward words caused everyone below to chuckle. However, no one said anything. Even a prince would be tempted by such a reward, much less Lin Mo. Naturally, no one doubted or ridiculed Lin Mo¡¯s actions. ¡°Finally, hard work pays off. I found quite a bit of information about the Blood Soul Flame and summarized it.¡± ¡°However, I don¡¯t have much hope left. I¡¯ll be going into closed-door cultivation next. Therefore, I plan to auction off the information about the Blood Soul Flame.¡± Chapter 356 - Great Sun Lightning Art After Lin Mo finished speaking, in the private room at the very front, the crown prince was slightly stunned before he let out a soft laugh. He looked at Li Long, who was as still as a mountain beside him. He knew how Lin Mo had obtained this information regarding the Blood Soul Flame. However, he did not expect that after Li Long¡¯s reminder, Lin Mo would really give up on the search for the Blood Soul Flame and stop the damage in time¡­ ¡°He can bend and stretch, he¡¯s neither arrogant nor impetuous. This Lin Mo, in terms of temperament, I¡¯m inferior to him¡­¡± At this moment, Li Long opened his eyes and looked at Lin Mo on the viewing platform. He didn¡¯t have any objections towards Lin Mo¡¯s auction. After all, Lin Mo had invited him to a banquet to receive this news. How he dealt with it was up to him. ¡°What? News about the Blood Soul Flame?¡± ¡°This Lin Mo is really amazing. He¡¯s even able to detect such news. It¡¯s unbelievable.¡± ¡°Yeah, but he seems to be giving up. He said that he¡¯s going into seclusion. Is that true?¡± Some people were puzzled. Lin Mo had investigated for so long and finally concluded the information with great difficulty. Now, he was actually planning to sell it? ¡°I believe that the Jingdou Dao conference is about to begin. All the geniuses choose to go into seclusion and rarely go out.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Lin Mo is the only genius on the ranking list who is still running around¡­¡± Some people could not help but look at Lin Mo with pity. It was no secret that Lin Mo was the eighth princess¡¯ hanger-on. However, the other princes were recruiting hangers-on by giving them resources, nurturing them well, and winning over the hearts of the people. However, the eighth princess, Jiang Xiyue, did not do that. She only gave the title of the owner of the month pavilion and did not give any benefits¡­ Blood Spirit Crystals, enlightenment stones, and even the bloodline of the true dragon, she would rather sell them than give them to Lin Mo¡­ ¡°I heard that Lin Mo is very close to the crown prince recently, and he even had a meal at the Red Dust Restaurant Yesterday¡­¡± ¡°Shut up, is this something that can be discussed¡­¡± Looking at the chaotic discussions below, Lin Mo wasn¡¯t angry at all. He knocked on the auction hammer to signal for everyone to keep quiet. ¡°Alright, the information regarding the Blood Soul Flame isn¡¯t complete. The starting bid is 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± That¡¯s right, it was only 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones. He didn¡¯t even expect anyone to bid for it. Even if someone were to bid for it, he would still be happy. That was because what he really wanted was the system¡¯s return on the profits from the auction. Right now, he urgently wanted to know the information regarding the Blood Soul Flame. He wanted to know the relationship between it and the Huan Cai Fire Demon. If it didn¡¯t work here, he could only look for Bai Luo. This would cause further delay. Moreover, he could only look for Bai Luo by himself. Others might not be able to find him¡­ ¡°Eleven thousand middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± After a short silence, a middle-aged man opened his mouth. He was a mercenary who often wandered in the mountains. During this period of time, he had been looking for the Blood Soul Flame. Right now, he was extremely conflicted about obtaining the news. If the news wasn¡¯t of much help, he would suffer a loss. Although 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones wasn¡¯t enough to bankrupt him, it was enough to make his heart ache. ¡°11,000 mid-grade spirit stones, is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and looked down, but no one stood up to bid. Clearly, they also felt that Lin Mo¡¯s news about the Blood Soul Flame wasn¡¯t too reliable. ¡°11,000 middle-grade spirit stones going once!¡± ¡°¡­ twice!¡± ¡°Three times!¡± ¡°Deal.¡± Seeing that no one had any reaction, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste any more time. He quickly shouted three times before announcing the deal. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the incomplete information of a Spirit Rank 1 Blood Soul Flame ] [ Successful triggering of 5,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the complete information of the Blood Soul Flame ] The complete information, the complete information of the Blood Soul Flame, was finally obtained. Lin Mo was overjoyed. After waiting for so long, he was finally able to obtain the relevant information. It was truly not easy. However, the bamboo slip in the system space was very large. It was likely that there was a lot of information recorded within it. Now was not the time to look at it. The auction continued. It was still some low level treasures that had been purchased during this period of time. Lin Mo had taken them all out and auctioned them off in one go. The auction continued for six hours. Although there were people bidding, the prices weren¡¯t very high. Not to mention the distinguished guests in the private rooms, even the people in the front of the all didn¡¯t participate in the competition. Occasionally, they would see those who were interested and participate. ¡°Haha, everyone, are you feeling bored? The following items might be able to cheer you all up.¡± Looking at the cold atmosphere of the auction hall, Lin Mo¡¯s words instantly roused the spirits of the silent crowd. Were the low-level treasures finally auctioned off? That¡¯s right, the auction was nearing its end, it was time for the high-level treasures to appear. ¡°Let¡¯s welcome the next item in the auction.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and a female attendant walked up with a silver plate in her hands. The red cloth was lifted by him, and everyone¡¯s gaze landed on the silver plate at the same time, only to see a scroll on it. Just by looking at it, traces of lightning flashed. Compared to the items auctioned earlier, this was a true treasure. ¡°Spirit rank 5 body tempering technique, Great Sun Lightning Art.¡± ¡°This Great Sun Lightning Art isn¡¯t simple. Those who practice this technique will have their body strength greatly increased.¡± After getting the maid to send the Great Sun Lightning Art down for the guests in the private room to view, Lin Mo slowly began to introduce it. ¡°When the Great Sun Lightning Art is fully mastered, lightning will surge out with a wave of one¡¯s hand. While its destructive power is astonishing, it can also defend.¡± ¡°However, it still has a flaw. The strength of one¡¯s physical body has increased, and the requirements for one¡¯s soul are extremely high. Therefore, the conditions for cultivating it are extremely harsh. Otherwise, this Great Sun Lightning Art might be able to rank within the seventh or even eighth rank of the spirit rank.¡±. ¡°¡­¡± When Lin Mo said this, many people were shocked. The meaning behind his words was very clear. If anyone could overcome this flaw, it would be equivalent to obtaining a seventh or even eighth rank spirit rank cultivation technique. ¡°The starting bid is 700,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± 700,000, so expensive¡­ Everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air. Initially, they had thought that they would be able to benefit from the appearance of good treasures. However, from the looks of it, these treasures were reserved for the great powers at the very front. Even if the people in the private room didn¡¯t want them, there were still those people at the very front of the hall¡­ There was no need for Lin Mo to say anything else. Although the Great Sun Lightning Art had its flaws, it was a rare high-grade cultivation technique. ¡°710,000.¡± Someone started to bid, instantly stirring up the atmosphere of the auction as people started to discuss fervently. ¡°730,000.¡± Someone called out the price, but these people didn¡¯t dare to raise it too much. After all, even though they had some financial resources, they weren¡¯t spending it here. Especially buying a cultivation technique that they couldn¡¯t use for a short period of time¡­ ¡°800,000.¡± At this moment, a sudden voice came from a private room, causing Lin Mo to feel a little surprised. This was because this was the fourth prince who had gone into seclusion for a period of time. After such a long period of time, he had also refined the Blood Soul Flame, and now that he saw this cultivation technique, his mouth was drooling. ¡°That¡¯s right, he has refined the blood spirit crystal, and his soul power is able to withstand the Great Sun Lightning Art.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. It seemed that the fourth prince was very lucky to have found a suitable cultivation technique¡­ However, just as everyone thought that the fourth Prince would succeed, a bid came from the private room on the other side. ¡°850,000¡­¡± Chapter 357 - Aphrodisiac Heavenly Yang Fruit ¡°It¡¯s the second prince.¡± Lin Mo heard clearly from the stage that the bidder was the second prince. He didn¡¯t expect this person to join in the fun. ¡°900,000.¡± The fourth prince continued to raise the price without any intention of backing down. At this time, the shouting in the hall had completely stopped. Since the two princes were fighting over it, they naturally did not dare to participate. ¡°Hehe, it seems that fourth brother has refined the blood spirit crystal, which is why he has the courage to cultivate this great sun lightning art, right?¡±The second Prince¡¯s words were filled with ridicule. Seeing this, the fourth prince did not waste his breath and said, ¡°That¡¯s indeed the case. I¡¯m not like some people who don¡¯t know their own limits.¡± Seeing the two of them fighting, Lin Mo also wanted to watch the show. He did not urge them and just stood on the stage to watch. ¡°950,000. Second brother is a little interested in the Great Sun Lightning Art. I wonder if fourth brother can part with it?¡± ¡°1 million. I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do.¡± The fourth prince didn¡¯t give in at all. The price had reached 1 million. However, the two of them didn¡¯t have any intention of giving in either. They were both people who knew what was good for them. Although the Great Sun Lightning Art¡¯s flaws were obvious, it was still classified as a spirit rank 5 technique. However, its value wasn¡¯t a spirit rank 5 technique. Therefore, after the two of them saw through it, they began to fight over it. ¡°Sigh, I was still thinking of picking up scraps¡­¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo could only sigh helplessly. He was still thinking of letting the Great Sun Lightning Art be sold at a low price. This way, he might be able to trigger the Great Sun Lightning Art by 10,000 times. Perhaps, he might be able to obtain a top-tier spirit rank 9th rank cultivation technique. Who would have thought that the 2nd Prince and the 4th Prince would already start fighting over it¡­ ¡°2.5 million. Royal brother, this price is already about to exceed the Great Sun Lightning Art¡¯s price. Even if you buy it, you won¡¯t be able to use it.¡± The fourth Prince raised the price again, causing everyone in the hall to be dumbstruck. The starting price of 700,000 had already tripled. From the looks of it, it seemed like it was still rising. ¡°Hehe, since fourth brother wants it so much, then this brother can¡¯t fight over it anymore¡­¡± The second prince chose to give up. At this point, it would be a bit of a loss for him to raise the price. However, since he was able to make the fourth prince pay three times the price, his bid this time wasn¡¯t considered a loss. ¡°In that case, thank you very much, royal brother¡­¡±the fourth Prince¡¯s indifferent voice sounded from within the private room. However, Lin Mo could hear some slight anger from within. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to His Royal Highness the fourth Prince for successfully bidding for the Great Sun Lightning Art.¡± Lin Mo sighed and dropped the auction hammer. 2.5 million was about the price of this cultivation technique. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the rank 5 spirit rank Great Sun Lightning Art ] [ You have successfully triggered the 3,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the rank 7 spirit rank lightning haste technique ] As expected, it didn¡¯t trigger the double. After all, this cultivation technique didn¡¯t suffer any losses. ¡°Alright, this next item is also a rare good item.¡± ¡°It¡¯s produced from the mouth of a volcano. However, it can only be consumed by men. It can greatly increase the yang energy in the body and increase the speed of the circulation of the spirit energy. When consumed during cultivation, the effect is very good. However, if it¡¯s used to cultivate with a dao partner, it will have the greatest effect¡­¡± Speaking up to this point, Lin Mo didn¡¯t need to explain in detail. Everyone already knew what it was. It was used to strengthen one¡¯s Yang energy¡­ ¡°Cough cough, a spirit rank 6 Sky Yang fruit. Even if there¡¯s no dao partner, if one were to consume it alone, other than feeling a little uncomfortable, it would still be very good for the improvement of one¡¯s cultivation.¡± Speaking up to this point, Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed to continue. This was because everyone in the hall was looking at the person beside him with a mocking gaze. At this moment, whoever made a bid would mean that they were unable to do it¡­ Even if they were unable to do it, who would admit to it? Hence, when Lin Mo made his bid, the atmosphere turned exceptionally cold. ¡°Sky Yang Fruit, the starting bid is 1,000,000. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000.¡± ¡°Alright, let the bidding begin now.¡± Seeing that everyone had fallen into silence, Lin Mo was speechless. This was also his first time auctioning off such a spirit herb. Although its main effect was to increase the speed of the flow of spiritual energy and speed up his cultivation. However, its aphrodisiac effect was genuine. However, he didn¡¯t mind the silence. As long as someone placed a bid, even if it was the starting price, he would be satisfied. In fact, he would even be happy. After all, this meant that the system would be able to increase the number of spirit herbs. He might even be able to obtain a spirit rank 9 spirit herb. However, reality proved that in the face of strength, a slight loss of face was secondary. ¡°1.1 million.¡± In front of the hall, a middle-aged man stood up and called out the price. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. If you have the ability, don¡¯t participate in the bidding,¡± The middle-aged man said angrily. His fierce eyes stared at the people around him, but he still saw the smiles on their faces. ¡°Hehe, brother Yang is right. A treasure that can increase one¡¯s cultivation speed, yet you guys are still looking down on it.¡± ¡°I bid 1.2 million.¡± On the other side, a man stood up and raised the bid by 100,000. His expression was calm, and he ignored the gazes of the people around him. Once someone bid, the quiet auction hall disappeared. One after another, people began to bid. ¡°1,500,000.¡± ¡°1,700,000.¡± ¡°1,900,000.¡± Lin Mo was a little speechless as he heard the numerous bids. Weren¡¯t you guys too embarrassed to bid just now¡­ Why did more than a dozen people suddenly appear to bid¡­ What made Lin Mo even more speechless was that the price of the Sky Yang fruit had already been raised to 2,300,000. From the looks of it, it seemed like its price would be even higher than the Great Sun Lightning Art¡­ ¡°This customer has placed a bid of 2.8 million. Is there anyone else who has placed a higher bid?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and asked. The person who had placed a bid of 2.8 million was the middle-aged man who had placed the bid from the start. Furthermore, he did not give in at all. As long as anyone else placed a bid, he would immediately place a bid. This made Lin Mo sigh in admiration. You¡¯ve already written your inability on your face, yet you still found an excuse for yourself in the beginning. ¡°2,800,000 going once.¡± ¡°2,800,000 going twice.¡± Seeing that no one was bidding, Lin Mo was just about to place the hammer for the third time. From within the fourth prince¡¯s private room, someone shouted, ¡°Cough cough, I¡¯ve just bid for the Great Sun Lightning Art, and it¡¯s rather troublesome to cultivate. This heavenly sun fruit can increase the speed of spiritual energy flow, and its effects aren¡¯t bad. I¡¯ll bid 3,000,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.¡± What was going on? Lin Mo was a little stunned, he really wanted to laugh on the spot. The fourth prince couldn¡¯t do it? Hahaha, this was really the most interesting news¡­ However, he still didn¡¯t dare to show it, or else the fourth prince might fall out with him. The surrounding people were also looking at the fourth Prince¡¯s private room, their expressions all different. The fourth prince didn¡¯t say anything about this, he just looked at the auction stage calmly. Since he had bid, he naturally found an excuse. ¡°Three million going once.¡± ¡°Do you have any friends who want to make a bid?¡± ¡°Three million going twice.¡± ¡°Three times, sold.¡± The middle-aged man from before did not dare to offend the fourth prince. At this moment, he had already fallen silent. After Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer three times, the heavenly sun fruit was successfully taken by the fourth prince. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged if you don¡¯t get it. The next item in the auction will also be of great help to your cultivation.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, the maid behind him stepped forward. The red cloth was lifted, and a golden glow appeared on the silver plate. Chapter 358 - Star Pill ¡°I believe that everyone is familiar with this auction item.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a spirit pill. Moreover, it¡¯s a 7th tier spirit grade spirit pill, the Star Pill.¡± When they heard the words ¡®star pill¡¯, not only were the people in the hall shocked, even the people in the private room were shocked. These people almost subconsciously sat up straight. ¡°It seems that there are still many people who know the effects of the star pill. Then I will explain it briefly.¡± ¡°The star pill contains an extremely strong aura of the starry sky. Its main material is refined from meteorites that fall from the starry sky.¡± ¡°Although it has been added with ores, it can still be consumed. It can allow the soul to travel through the starry sky and greatly increase the power of the soul.¡± Spirit pills of this level were rare, let alone increasing the power of the soul. ¡°I can responsibly say that the effect of the star pill is the weakened version of the Blood Spirit Crystal.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s a whole piece, not cut off¡­¡± As Lin Mo¡¯s words fell, the entire place fell silent. In the next moment, the family heads and sect leaders of the various factions all started to breathe heavily. Star pills. They had never thought that such a powerful spirit pill would actually appear here. Furthermore, they had a wide range of channels and knew some inside information about the auction house. Most of these auction items were provided by the crown prince. Although they didn¡¯t understand why the crown prince would come here to auction. However, the most important point was that the crown prince wouldn¡¯t participate in the auction. It was very likely that this star pill would belong to them. Although there were still the fourth prince and the second prince, although these two princes had some financial resources, they might not be able to suppress them. In the past, the Yanhuang Divine Empire had a ban on the circulation of treasures above the spirit grade. Even 9th tier treasures were not allowed to circulate in the outside world. Although there were spirit-grade treasures sold in the Imperial City, they were all privately sold. They had only heard of treasures of the same grade as the star pill but had never seen it before. At this moment, even the fourth prince, who had already refined the Blood Spirit Crystal, was breathing heavily. The star pill and the blood spirit crystal didn¡¯t repel each other, so he could completely consume them. He was sure that as long as he ate it, he wouldn¡¯t have any obstacles before reaching Nirvana Realm. He could even easily break through to Nirvana Realm. ¡°Without further ado, the starting price of the star pill is three million middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than 100,000.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer, causing the crowd below to be shocked. With the starting bid of 3,000,000 Spirit Stones, how high would the bid be? The few people at the front of the hall deliberated for a moment before deciding to give up in the end. They had no choice. The Star Pill would definitely attract many people to compete for it, and they wouldn¡¯t be able to compete against it. ¡°3,100,000 Spirit Stones.¡± ¡°3,200,000 spirit stones.¡± ¡°3.5 million.¡± Shocking prices were called out one by one. In the blink of an eye, the price of the star pill had been raised to 4 million. ¡°4.5 million.¡± A voice called out the price. The fourth prince made his move, shocking some people. ¡°Fourth brother, you have already refined the blood spirit crystal. Let second brother have this star pill.¡± The second prince made his move. He was extremely generous and directly called out a price of five million. ¡°Six Million.¡± However, before he and the fourth prince could finish speaking, a sudden call for a price was heard. It was a private room at the very edge. The voice was low and deep, and it was deliberately concealed. No one knew who was calling out the price. Everyone in the hall looked over. Just from the voice alone, no one could tell who was calling out the price¡­ Six million was already a sky-high price. Lin Mo sighed slightly. Alchemists were really rich. As long as there were spirit herbs, they would be able to refine such a spirit pill. As long as they had the strength, it could be said that they didn¡¯t lack spirit stones. ¡°Speaking of which, becoming a blacksmith seems to be a good job. I should pay more attention to it.¡± Lin Mo said to himself. He had only refined weapons a few times. He had the system¡¯s inheritance in terms of technology. As long as he spent some time, he would be able to achieve something. Thinking of this, Lin Mo made up his mind. Next, it was time to focus on refining weapons. The price rose once again. When it reached 8 million, the fourth prince had already stopped. Now, only the second prince and the person in the private room at the edge were bidding. ¡°8.5 million.¡± In the next second, that private room bid once again, suppressing the second prince¡¯s bid. ¡°You¡­¡± The second prince was flustered and wanted to send someone over to capture that person and teach him a lesson. In the end, he still held back. No matter what, the Imperial City had its laws and could not be casually violated. ¡°8.7 million.¡± But he still did not want to give up and bid again. At this time, the person on the other side was also somewhat hesitant. Lin Mo made his move at the right time and dropped his hammer. ¡°8,700,000 going once.¡± The person on the other side remained silent and did not open his mouth as he continued to consider. ¡°8,700,000 going twice.¡± ¡°8,700,000¡­¡± ¡°9,000,000.¡± Finally, just as Lin Mo¡¯s hammer was about to drop for the third time, that person called out the price. 9,000,000 had already exceeded the price of the star pill. However, because of its preciousness, it was still worth it. However, calling out this price caused that person to struggle in his heart. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± The second prince snorted coldly. The private room was unusually quiet. There were no more voices calling out the price. ¡°Quickly drop the hammer.¡± A dissatisfied voice said from the other side, urging Lin Mo to quickly drop the hammer. ¡°Nine million, sold!¡± ¡°Congratulations to this friend for successfully auctioning the Star Pill.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, putting away the star pill and waving his hand, the maid behind him walked up with a silver plate. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a spirit rank 7 star pill ] [ Successfully triggered a 7,000 times return on auction ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining a spirit rank 9 heavenly soul pill ] The effect was similar to a star pill, but Lin Mo estimated that this heavenly soul pill¡¯s effect was equivalent to two blood spirit crystals. ¡°That¡¯s great, there¡¯s finally a decent treasure.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. A spirit rank 9 heavenly soul pill, this was already pretty good. ¡°Alright, everyone, don¡¯t be too depressed, because the next item¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and lifted the red cloth. What greeted his eyes was still a spirit pill that was emitting golden light. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s still a star pill, just like the previous one.¡± The moment these words were spoken, the entire place erupted into an uproar. No one had expected that two such top grade spirit pills would appear at once. This wasn¡¯t even the finale¡­ The eyes of some of the clan leaders flickered as they looked at the Crown Prince¡¯s private room. Just what was the reason for the crown prince to be willing to sell the star pill for so many treasures¡­ Something was fishy. There was definitely something fishy about this. Perhaps what the crown prince was waiting for was the finale item. At this moment, whether it was the second prince or the mysterious person who had just bid for the star pill. Their minds went blank. What was going on? There was actually a star pill? This was too unbelievable. ¡°That¡¯s great. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t fight to the death just now¡­¡± On the other side, the fourth prince hesitated for a moment before deciding to give up and not bid. Chapter 359 - Heavenly Reflection Fruit Right now, he was also wondering why the crown prince would take out such a precious spirit pill to auction and not use it to buy people¡¯s hearts. ¡°Wait, Buy People¡¯s hearts?¡± The fourth prince was shocked. He suddenly remembered that Lin Mo and the crown prince seemed to be very close recently. Without mentioning anything else, the news that Lin Mo had invited the crown prince and the disciples of the Sacred Land of divine secrets had spread throughout the imperial city. Many people who worshipped Jiang Xiyue were secretly contemptuous. They felt that Lin Mo was about to betray them and was planning to seek refuge with the crown prince. And at such a time, the crown prince had displayed his strength. With such abundant resources, wouldn¡¯t Lin Mo rush to look for the Crown Prince? ¡°Damn it, father¡¯s favoritism is too severe.¡± Thinking of this, the fourth prince rebuked angrily. He did not believe that the crown prince would be able to obtain so many treasures on his own. He definitely had the emperor¡¯s help. If that was the case, how would these unfavored princes compete for it? Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste too much time. Regardless of how the people below discussed, he started the auction. And this time, Lin Mo directly set the starting price at six million. This wasn¡¯t a big deal, because the final bid price would definitely exceed six million. ¡°Eight million.¡± Suddenly, a loud and clear voice sounded. It was the second Prince¡¯s. He had made his move. He had never snatched the star pill before, so he would not give up now. Rather than slowly raising the bid to eight million, it would be better for him to directly bid eight million. This way, he would be able to intimidate some small fries and not dare to casually bid. The entire hall fell silent. Many people were speechless. It seemed that the second prince was determined to win. If they really wanted to bid, it would probably cause the second prince to be unhappy. ¡°8.1 million.¡± Suddenly, a voice sounded in the hall and echoed in the surroundings. No one knew who was bidding. ¡°Who?¡± The second Prince said angrily. He opened the door of the private room and walked out. A yellow robe looked behind him, but there was no way to find out who it was. ¡°8.5 million.¡±His low voice echoed in the auction hall. ¡°9,000,000¡­¡± The bidding voice continued to reverberate, but no one could detect who was bidding. Even the people in the hall were looking around, trying to find the person who was bidding. ¡°It¡¯s the person who just bid. He¡¯s at the 31st level of the dragonification realm and has some concealment techniques.¡± Right at this moment, a voice transmission entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears, telling him who was bidding. ¡°White Tiger Marquis?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. The person who sent him the voice transmission was the White Tiger Marquis. He had seen through the other party¡¯s concealment methods. However, this was also normal. No matter how powerful one¡¯s concealment methods were, it was impossible to hide it from a nirvana stage cultivator. The only thing that made him curious was why this person dared to offend the second prince in such a manner¡­ ¡°9.5 million.¡±The second Prince¡¯s roar-like voice reverberated in the hall. ¡°9.6 million.¡± The voice in the dark showed no signs of stopping. Each time, it only increased the bid by 100,000, the lowest bid. ¡°10 million.¡± The second Prince felt his heart bleeding. If he had known earlier, he would have bid against him for a price higher than the previous one of 1 million. But at this time, the person who had secretly bid also stopped. 10 million. This was basically the limit that the second prince could accept. If he increased the bid, he probably wouldn¡¯t want it. Seeing this situation, the second prince was suddenly shocked. He turned his head to look at the other side, the private room where he had bid just now. He had already guessed that perhaps it was the person in the private room who was competing with him, wanting to make him pay a lot of money¡­ ¡°HMPH.¡± Although he was angry in his heart, he couldn¡¯t say anything in the auction hall. After snorting coldly, he returned to the private room. ¡°10 million going once.¡± ¡°10 million going twice.¡± ¡°10 million going thrice, sold.¡± As the hammer descended, Lin Mo smiled and nodded. Putting away the star pill, selling one star pill for 10 million was already a great deal. He just didn¡¯t know what the system would return. [ congratulations host for successfully auctioning a spirit rank 7 star pill. ] [ successfully triggered 9,000 times the auction return. ] ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit rank 9 high-quality heavenly soul pill.¡± The recompense was still a heavenly soul pill, and it was a high-quality one at that. This made Lin Mo very satisfied. A maid walked up from behind, and up until this point, Lin Mo still hadn¡¯t said what the final item was. There wasn¡¯t even a countdown, which made everyone very curious. What kind of treasure could compare to a star pill? ¡°The next item is the seventh level spirit rank heavenly reflection fruit. Moreover, the medicinal effect is only one step away from advancing to the eighth level spirit rank.¡± ¡°If the star pill is said to raise the soul, then the heavenly reflection fruit is in fact an increase in the physical body.¡± ¡°Everyone should know that the physical body is the foundation of everything. Without the physical body, the soul is nothing and will slowly dissipate.¡± ¡°And the effect of the heavenly reflection fruit is to greatly increase the strength of the physical body. After consuming it, the dragonification realm will be unimpeded. Even the Nirvana realm and the first few stages of cultivation will be very smooth.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. If this heavenly reflection fruit was consumed together with the star pill, the effect would be very obvious. Basically, it could be said to be a direct link to the Nirvana realm¡­ Just as he finished speaking, not only the second prince, but even the fourth prince walked out and looked at Lin Mo with burning eyes. ¡°Brother Lin, may I ask how many heavenly reflection fruits are there?¡±The second prince cupped his fists and asked Lin Mo. . They did not expect that Lin Mo would have so many good things in this auction. The Great Sun Thunder Art, Star Pill, and heavenly reflection fruit. Each of them was a treasure with significant effects. The one who was the most excited was naturally the fourth prince himself. He had already refined the blood spirit crystal, so he had given up on the star pill. Other than that, he had also bid for the Great Sun Thunder art. If he could auction the heavenly reflection fruit now, then he would be able to reach the Nirvana stage directly, and there would be no obstacles in his path of cultivation. ¡°Hehe, there¡¯s no need to explain too much. We already know the effects of the heavenly reflection fruit. Quickly tell us the starting price.¡± On the other side, the mysterious person also spoke. He was determined to obtain the heavenly reflection fruit. ¡°In that case, the starting price for this heavenly reflection fruit should be six million.¡± Lin Mo laughed. A palm-sized fruit that was like the blazing sun appeared on the silver plate. Just by looking at it, everyone felt as though their eyes were being burned. The second Prince and the fourth Prince¡¯s breathing became heavy. They were determined to obtain the heavenly reflection fruit. ¡°Eight million.¡± In the private room, the mysterious person took the lead and raised the price by two million. However, this time, the second Prince and the fourth Prince did not have the intention to give up. They started to bid. This was because they lacked a heavenly reflection fruit. After their souls had been upgraded, the upgrade of their physical bodies was very important. Therefore, after the two of them made their bids, they quickly raised the price of the heavenly reflection fruit to 10 million. ¡°11 million.¡± At this moment, another voice suddenly sounded out, shocking everyone. This was because this was another person whose identity was unknown. The voice also reverberated in the surroundings, and no one could recognize him. At this moment, in the Crown Prince¡¯s private room, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as he looked at Li long beside him. Chapter 360 - Li Fire Mystic Wood ¡°Senior brother Li, who is this person?¡±The crown prince asked. ¡°Nirvana stage, I don¡¯t know.¡±Li Long¡¯s answer was very straightforward. He could accurately sense those below nirvana stage, but those above Nirvana stage were not something he could calculate. That required an extremely accurate calculation of the heavens, even reaching the level of the SAINTESS. ¡°Interesting. I didn¡¯t expect that an auction would actually attract so many mysterious experts.¡± He didn¡¯t participate in the bidding. He had already consumed the heaven¡¯s reflection fruit before, so these were extra items that could be auctioned off. The other reason was to let Lin Mo know that there were all sorts of benefits to being by his side¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, Oh Lin Mo, although you killed Jin lie, your talent is enough for me to spare your life. If you submit to me, you¡¯ll have all sorts of resources¡­¡± The crown prince muttered to himself and continued to watch the auction. ¡°12 million.¡± The people who were still bidding were still the second prince, the fourth prince, and the mysterious person who had auctioned the star pill earlier. As for the Nirvana stage powerhouse who had bid earlier, he had long since gone silent. ¡°Second brother, what I lack the most right now is the heavenly reflection fruit. Can you take care of it?¡± ¡°When you bought the star pill just now, I didn¡¯t snatch it,¡±the fourth Prince said in a deep voice. That mysterious person didn¡¯t seem to have much money left and the number of bids he made decreased. Only the second prince and the fourth Prince were still fighting over it. Neither of them was willing to give up. ¡°Fourth brother, you¡¯re exaggerating. I yearn for this kind of treasure. I¡¯m afraid I Can¡¯t give it up this time.¡± The second prince smiled. As he spoke, he spoke again, ¡°12.5 million.¡± ¡°Lin Mo, I¡¯ll sell some spirit herbs on the spot. Do You Want Them?¡± The fourth Prince walked out and looked at Lin Mo. . For the sake of the heavenly reflection fruit, it didn¡¯t matter even if he missed the finale. ¡°Sure. If the customers on the spot can give a suitable price, I can help you sell them,¡±Lin Mo said with a smile. He was naturally willing to do business that came to his doorstep. ¡°Alright, I have a few treasures in my hands, help me sell them.¡± The fourth Prince threw out some spirit rank spirit herbs, but they were all third or fourth rank spirit herbs. The quality wasn¡¯t good, but the quantity was sufficient¡­ This left Lin Mo speechless. He had agreed early. How was he going to sell these things? were there so many of them for auction? ¡°There¡¯s no need to bid too high, the price is suitable. You can directly drop the hammer. It¡¯s fine even if you lose.¡± The fourth prince seemed to have seen through Lin Mo¡¯s difficulties and said. He had a lot of these treasures. If it wasn¡¯t for the limited storage ring space on his body, he would even be able to take out more. ¡°That¡¯s great. Thank you, Fourth Prince, for helping me.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He set the prices of these treasures one by one and then asked the people in the hall if they were willing to auction them. As for offending the second prince, that wasn¡¯t necessary. This was because the fourth prince had the financial support and also took out some spirit herbs to auction off. If both of them wanted to cash in, the people in the hall would feel at ease. After spending a full ten minutes, all of these treasures had been bought off, and Lin Mo had obtained a sufficient amount of treasures. Furthermore, as they had all been sold at a loss, he had triggered five times the 10,000 fold rebate. A piece of spirit rank 5 meteorite iron, after 10,000 times the rebate, he had obtained a piece of star iron, a spirit rank 9. ¡°A money-giving boy¡­¡± Lin Mo accepted it with a smile. With the support of funds, the two of them began to bid. The value of the heavenly reflection fruit rose in a straight line, and in the end, it actually reached 17,000,000. In the end, the second prince and the fourth Prince had a discussion, and the fourth Prince successfully bid for the heavenly reflection fruit. As for what price he would have to pay the second prince, that was unknown. ¡°Congratulations, Your Highness, for successfully bidding for the heaven reflection fruit.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer and gave the order to record the items that the second prince and the fourth Prince had added to the auction. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 7 heaven reflection fruit ] [ successfully triggered the 1,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spirit rank 8 blazing sun fruit ] With the sky-high price, it was basically impossible for him to get good items back. However, Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind it. A spirit rank 8 blazing sun fruit was much stronger than the heavenly reflection fruit. ¡°It doesn¡¯t have any effect on me. Next time, I¡¯ll sell it as the finale.¡± Lin Mo laughed in his heart as he waved his hand. The maid continued forward, and everyone stared at her intently. At this moment, Lin Mo still hadn¡¯t said what the finale was. This made them very curious. ¡°Everyone, you¡¯ve been waiting for a long time. The final item is about to arrive. This is the second-to-last treasure.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. The money that they should earn was about to arrive. Everyone present had already placed their bids, especially the fourth prince. The following items basically had nothing to do with him. ¡°Heavenly Thunder calcined fire wood, spirit rank 8. Although this is wood, it contains the Lightning and fire attribute. It can be used to refine weapons and can also be directly absorbed.¡± The red cloth was lifted, and Lin Mo introduced it with a faint smile. Everyone in the crowd was extremely shocked. There were indeed many good items in this auction, causing their eyes to be dazzled. The Heavenly Thunder Fire Wood appeared, and on the silver plate was a piece of glistening wood. It was half a meter long, and above it faintly flickered with the undulations of lightning. When the crown prince had just delivered this level of treasure, he had been shocked, unable to believe it. The Heavenly Thunder fire calcining wood could be used to refine weapons, and it could be used to refine a spiritual grade level 8 magic tool. If some other treasures were added, it might be able to forge a spiritual grade level 9 magic tool. ¡°Alright, the Heavenly Thunder Fire calcining wood is not very versatile, but it is still priceless. The starting price is six million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The auction hammer had just dropped when the second prince directly raised the price, giving a shock to those who wanted to bid. ¡°Ten million.¡± Raising the bid by four million in one go. Such a grand scene was not unheard of in the auction house, but it was definitely rare. ¡°Your Highness, this old subject covets this heavenly thunder calcined fire wood. Please Don¡¯t blame me.¡± In another private room, an old man walked out. His hair was white and his body was hunched, but the aura on his body was absolutely powerful. ¡°So it¡¯s the Prince of Zhennan. You are old and respected. I don¡¯t dare to blame you.¡± ¡°But I still don¡¯t want to give up on this heavenly thunder calcined fire wood.¡± The second prince said politely and then shouted, ¡°11 million.¡± ¡°12 million,¡±the old man called the Prince of Zhennan said with an indifferent expression, as if this 12 million had nothing to do with him. In the end, the second prince continued to bid, but the southern King¡¯s wealth was very strong. He successfully bought the Heavenly Thunder Fire Wood at a high price of 16 million. ¡°Thank you, second prince, for your help.¡± The southern king bowed and returned to his private room. Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and congratulated him. Then, he waited for the system¡¯s rebate. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 8 Heavenly Thunder Fire Wood ] [ successfully triggering the 5,000 times rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the half-step Earth Rank Mythical Fire Wood -RSB- Mythical Fire Wood was a half-step earth rank weapon forging material, and only the fire attribute was within it. This made Lin Mo extremely excited. The desolation ancient sword could be upgraded once again. As long as the mythical fire wood was fused into it, it could at least be upgraded to the spirit rank 9¡­ Chapter 361 - The Finale Heavenly Soul Pill The Finale Heavenly Soul Pill ¡°Perfect, crown prince, you¡¯re really my lucky star¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. However, among the treasures that the Crown Prince and the Divine Secrets Sacred Land had brought, this heavenly thunder calcined wood was already of the highest quality. It was originally defined by Huixiang as the finale. However, Lin Mo changed his mind Midway and planned to give a huge gift as a return to the crown prince. ¡°I originally wanted to sell the heavenly lightning fire calcining wood for a rebate, but since I can¡¯t sell it now, I¡¯ll sell it to you.¡± Lin Mo pondered for a moment before finally nodding his head. ¡°The finale item that everyone has been looking forward to is finally about to appear. Everyone has been waiting for a long time. The next item to be auctioned is a spirit rank 9 spirit rank pill¡­¡± He smiled mysteriously, and no maidservants walked up from behind him. Lin Mo took out a silver plate and took out a heavenly soul pill that he had obtained from auctioning the star pill from the system space. ¡°A spirit rank 9 heavenly soul pill. Its effect is the same as the star pill. However, its medicinal effect is three times that of the Star Pill¡­¡± When these words were said, the entire crowd was shocked. Everyone looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Was this true? The effect of the three times star pill? If that was the case, then wouldn¡¯t the people who were competing for the star pill have suffered a huge loss. ¡°Bastard, what do you mean? Did you do it on Purpose?¡± The person who had auctioned the star pill earlier was the fourth prince and a mysterious person. That person had an angry expression on his face. He had actually walked out and attracted everyone¡¯s attention. This was especially so for the fourth prince. His eyes were filled with fury as he wanted to see who this person was. However, he wore a bamboo hat on his head, so no one could see his appearance. In fact, the aura on his body was very strange, making it difficult for others to detect him. ¡°What do you mean on purpose? This friend, Please Don¡¯t disturb the auction.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he had two heavenly soul pills, he wouldn¡¯t even want to take them out for auction. ¡°The finale is the Heavenly Soul Pill. Why didn¡¯t you say it just now?¡±That person said coldly. If he had known that the finale was the Heavenly Soul Pill, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have asked for the star pill. Instead, he would have left behind his financial resources to buy the Last Heavenly Soul Pill. ¡°The Heavenly Soul Pill is the Heavenly Soul Pill, while the star pill is the star pill. The two don¡¯t have any mutual aid effects. Why would I say that?¡± ¡°Could it be that because their effects are the same, they can¡¯t be sold?¡±Lin Mo said indifferently. That¡¯s right, everyone finally reacted. There wasn¡¯t any connection between the two, so why would they say that. It wasn¡¯t like they couldn¡¯t be auctioned just because their effects were the same. ¡°Alright, you win. How much is the starting price?¡±The person said coldly. However, Lin Mo could still feel an inexplicable killing intent emanating from him. ¡°You want to kill me just like that?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. wasn¡¯t this person¡¯s personality a little too extreme? It was understandable that he was angry, but for him to directly want to kill him was a little too much¡­ ¡°The starting price is 10,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 500,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± In any case, he didn¡¯t expect these people to increase the bid much. This heavenly soul pill basically belonged to the crown prince. ¡°Good stuff. Senior brother Li, can you calculate it?¡± In the Crown Prince¡¯s private room, the crown prince looked at Li Long and asked. When Lin Mo said that the Heavenly Thunder calcining wood wasn¡¯t the last item, he knew that there would definitely be a great gift in the end. However, he didn¡¯t expect it to be so big. A Spirit Rank 9 heavenly soul pill, even the Imperial Palace¡¯s Alchemist couldn¡¯t refine it. It was evident how precious this kind of spiritual pill was. Li long pondered for a moment, and his body emitted a strange light. Finally, he opened his eyes and said, ¡°I can¡¯t calculate it. I only know that this heavenly soul pill has just been out of the furnace not long ago¡­¡± This was the only piece of information, and there was nothing else. However, what he needed to worry about now was whether he should buy it or not¡­ He was very interested in the effects of the Heavenly Soul Pill. It was very helpful to him, no less than the blood spirit crystal. However, what he didn¡¯t understand was where Jiang Xiyue got such a precious elixir and was willing to sell it¡­ ¡°It seems that we have to reevaluate the eighth princess. She¡¯s the one who hid it the most¡­¡± Li Long said. After thinking for a short while, he finally understood something. ¡°Let¡¯s buy it first.¡± ¡°Eleven million.¡± The crown prince¡¯s bid had exceeded the expectations of many people. wasn¡¯t it said that the auctioned items this time were all taken out by the Crown Prince. What was he doing? Raising the price? That wasn¡¯t the first time he had bid. On the auction stage, in order to stimulate the crowd, Lin Mo didn¡¯t take any protective measures after taking out the heavenly soul pill. He didn¡¯t even put in the simplest jade bottle, allowing it to be exposed to the air. As time passed, the aura of the heavenly soul pill spread throughout the auction stage. Everyone took a sniff, feeling refreshed. Everyone¡¯s soul power started to stir, as if it was about to rise. Almost everyone had a subconscious thought, ¡®buy it, I must buy it.¡¯. The Heavenly Soul Pill was definitely worth more than this price. For this, even if they had to offend the crown prince, they wouldn¡¯t hesitate. Even Lin Mo was slightly shocked. He was the closest to the Heavenly Soul Pill, so he received the greatest benefits. His soul power slightly increased, and he only took a whiff of the fragrance¡­ With such an unforeseen event, the people in the auction house became excited and eager. ¡°12 million.¡± The mysterious man who had questioned Lin Mo just now made a bid. He ignored the crown prince¡¯s price and continued to make his bid. His mysterious identity had always been a mystery in the eyes of everyone. Now that he dared to offend the crown prince, this made everyone even more curious. ¡°13 million.¡± Someone Else made another bid. It was the southern town king. He could not resist the temptation of the Heavenly Soul Pill. In front of the most precious treasure, unless the emperor came personally, the crown prince alone would not be able to make him back down. ¡°15 million.¡± The crown prince continued to bid, and the three of them began to fight over it. No one was willing to give up on the Heavenly Soul Pill. ¡°16 million.¡± The mysterious man called out the price, but in the next moment, he was drowned out by the southern king¡¯s voice, ¡°17 million.¡± He was already old, and there was basically no chance for his strength to improve, unless there was some kind of opportunity. And right now, the Heavenly Soul Pill was an opportunity. It could improve his soul, and he might even be able to improve his physical cultivation. This way, his lifespan would increase by a few hundred years. ¡°18 million.¡± ¡°19 million.¡± ¡°19.5 million.¡± At the end of the bid, the crown prince was the first to give up. Lin Mo did not expect that the crown prince would not like this gift? ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, you should have said so earlier. If you had known earlier, you could have changed it¡­¡± Lin Mo was filled with regret. Treasures that could improve one¡¯s soul were relatively rare. He was originally reluctant to sell them. But who would have thought that the crown prince would be the first to give up on the treasures he had prepared for the crown prince¡­ ¡°Hehe, there are truly talented people emerging from every generation. Young friend, you aren¡¯t young, and your spirit isn¡¯t small. Which faction did you come from?¡± The prince of Zhennan laughed lightly. At this moment, the price had already reached 20 million, and it was precisely the price that the mysterious man had placed. Everyone in the hall was very curious and wanted to know the mysterious identity of this person. ¡°Prince Zhennan must be joking. A rogue cultivator. If it weren¡¯t for the auction and a fair competition, junior wouldn¡¯t dare to compete with Senior¡­¡± The man said, cleverly saying that this was a fair competition and leaving his identity aside. ¡°That¡¯s true. However, the heavenly soul pill is precious, and I don¡¯t want to miss it.¡± Chapter 362 - Plot of the Blood Soul Flame The southern town king agreed and raised the bid again. ¡°21 million.¡± ¡°22 million.¡± ¡°23 million.¡± What a terrifying price. Was this a spirit rank 9 spirit pill¡­ Everyone was watching the show. They wanted to participate, but they didn¡¯t have the financial resources to compete. ¡°23 million going once.¡± ¡°23 million going twice.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer twice in a row. He waited for a while and saw that the man was far from willing to bid. After waiting for a while, Zhennan Wang¡¯s expression was calm. He even planned to continue bidding. In the end, the man wasn¡¯t able to bid and chose to give up. ¡°23 million going three times, sold. Congratulations, senior Zhennan Wang.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. This time, his income was not bad. 23,000,000 net profit, 5,000,000 commission. The most important thing was that so many treasures were sold at a profit. ¡°Alright, thank you all for coming to participate in this auction. The next auction will be held in seven days. Please continue to support us then.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. A bumper harvest, a bumper harvest¡­ Perhaps to outsiders, the crown prince was the one who had made a huge profit. However, he had already made a huge profit and was grinning from ear to ear. The exchange at the counter lasted until midnight. After sending off the last customer, he finally relaxed. ¡°Oh right, I haven¡¯t checked the news about the Blood Soul Flame yet.¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled that he had also received the complete news about the Blood Soul Flame being auctioned off. After returning to his residence, Lin Mo sat in the small courtyard. A maid brought him a pot of wine. He drank a cup first and started to examine it. The Blood Soul Flame was a mortal lotus seed that had fallen into the chaotic qi at the beginning of the chaos. It was nurtured for a million years before it finally formed the Blood Soul Flame. Wherever the Blood Soul Flame appeared, it would be accompanied by the chaotic qi and form natural treasures related to the chaotic qi. For example, the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk was formed because of the Blood Soul Flame. ¡°The Blood Soul Flame is born with intelligence, and it is comparable to humans. It will devour other natural treasures¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Blood Soul Flame was born with intelligence. It said that no matter what the Blood Soul Flame experienced, or even if its intelligence were erased, it would instinctively devour all natural treasures. The purpose of luring Lin Mo to the underground crack and using the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk to express his goodwill was to gain his trust. He dared to believe that when he sent Lil¡¯ Die to the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, this fellow would not hide anymore. He and Lil¡¯ Die would also die from this, doomed to eternal damnation¡­ ¡°What a terrible scheme. For a few drops of the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, I almost harmed Lil¡¯ Die¡­¡± Cold sweat appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s forehead. It was fortunate that he had the system. It was fortunate that he was vigilant and had investigated a lot of information about the Blood Soul Flame. If he were to rashly send Lil¡¯ Die over, that would really be bad¡­ This was what he thought. He continued to read on. The Blood Soul Flame was born to be raised by nature. However, if someone were to subdue it, its future would be limitless. Its soul power would be nourished by the chaotic aura and become even stronger. Meanwhile, the devouring of spiritual items was relative. Other spiritual items could also devour the Blood Soul Flame. Once it succeeded in devouring, its bloodline talent would advance and it would be blessed by the heavens. The Great Dao would be within reach. ¡°So mysterious?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. If Lin Die could devour the Blood Soul Flame, wouldn¡¯t it be even better¡­ However, this thought only lasted for a short period of time. He didn¡¯t think too much about it. Lin Die was only at tier 20 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Not to mention devouring the Blood Soul Flame, she would be considered strong if she could even protect herself¡­ ¡°However, this is also a direction. The Blood Soul Flame won¡¯t give up on little die so easily. When it becomes strong in the future, I¡¯ll almost let Lil¡¯ Die devour it¡­¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo finally finished reading the introduction of the Blood Soul Flame. Some of the natural treasures that could counter the Blood Soul Flame were also displayed on it. However, it was basically very difficult to collect all of them. At least, it should be impossible in the eastern continent, because most of them were earth grade, and even heaven grade¡­ ¡°Forget about it, I¡¯ll go into seclusion first.¡± After giving his instructions, Lin Mo used Yue Xuan¡¯s teleportation array to return to the Purple Moon Palace. The spiritual energy here was extremely dense, and it was just right for him to refine artifacts. He took out a batch of spirit stones. Apart from that, he also took out the Li fire mystic wood and a large piece of star iron. These two treasures were the main materials, and there were many other supplementary items. Lin Mo waved his hand and took out the Ancient Sword of Desolation. The Dao fire in his body emerged and enveloped it. As it was being forged, the patterns on the Ancient Sword of Desolation gradually distorted. Seeing this, Lin Mo hurriedly put the Li fire mystic wood in. In just an instant, the Dao flame spread out and even covered Lin Mo. The surrounding materials were all swallowed. Under the burning of the flame, they melted. The turbid energy was removed. With the help of the ore materials, the star iron started to melt. Then, the God Devouring Body in Lin Mo¡¯s body was activated. The removed magazines were swallowed and circulated in Lin Mo¡¯s body for a whole day. What appeared once again were streams of pure energy. They were all devoured by the desolation ancient sword. Together with the star iron, they slowly fused into the Ancient Sword of Desolation. The Li fire mystic wood below continued to burn, and Lin Mo¡¯s dao fire became increasingly intense. In the end, the flames in the room he was in soared into the sky. Even some of the experts who were in seclusion felt a little uneasy. The Ancient Sword of Desolation vibrated slightly as its power continued to rise. In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quietly. The temperature in Lin Mo¡¯s seclusion was terrifyingly high. Even though Lin Mo had comprehended some principles of the Flame Dao, he still felt a little hot. ¡°Buzz!¡± The sound of flames occasionally came from the quiet room. At a certain instant, Lin Mo¡¯s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. The Ancient Sword of Desolation, which had been burning in the flames, suddenly exploded with a sword qi that shot up into the sky. The sword qi carried the aura of flames and was extremely terrifying. A palace that cost nothing to build instantly exploded and was torn into pieces by the sword qi. Even the protective array within was shattered and couldn¡¯t withstand it. Lin Mo held the Ancient Sword of Desolation in his hand. The Li fire mystic wood below had already been burned into ashes and all of its energy had been absorbed. ¡°Level 9 spirit class, Ancient Desolation Sword, what terrifying power¡­¡± Soaring up into the sky, Lin Mo triggered the formation protecting the Purple Moon Palace. Almost in an instant, the Nirvana Realm expert¡¯s attack was formed. The light of the formation enveloped him and attacked. Lin Mo did not dodge. He held the Ancient Desolation Sword and blocked the attack of the formation with one sword strike. Although his body was pushed back a few thousand meters, he was not injured at all. ¡°Whoosh!¡± The sound of rushing wind was heard. Such a huge commotion attracted the attention of many experts. They were all experts that Jiang Xiyue had provided for. These people looked at Lin Mo with shock in their eyes. Especially when they saw the Ancient Sword of Desolation in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, their expressions became even more shocked¡­ ¡°Young friend, you¡¯re amazing. You can actually perfect A level 9 spirit-grade magic tool¡­¡± An old man stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration. With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the Ancient Sword of Desolation had been reforged. Chapter 363 - An Unpopular Formation Map Even a master blacksmith could achieve such a feat. However, Lin Mo was still in his early twenties. With such achievements at such a young age, he would definitely have an extraordinary future¡­ ¡°Senior, please forgive me. I¡¯ve only perfected it a little. It¡¯s not worthy of praise.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had benefited greatly from refining this time, and his understanding of refining had deepened. ¡°Alright, you guys should stop surrounding him. Yue Xuan¡¯s auction has already started. A steward called Huixiang invited me to take charge of it, saying that the owner is still in closed door cultivation.¡± At this moment, an old woman walked up and looked at Lin Mo with a satisfied expression in her eyes. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve come out of closed door cultivation, this old woman doesn¡¯t need to go. Hurry up and take charge of Yue Xuan¡­¡± She reminded Lin Mo that today was the day the auction would begin and that he should hurry up and take charge of it. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, senior.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and said. He was prepared to earn more spirit stones for the auction in seven days. He planned to sell some of the treasures that he had earned back from the previous auction. However, with good luck in mind, he still picked a few spirit herbs from the Purple Moon Palace and left. With his previous reputation, this auction could be said to be full of people. To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, he also received a few items this time. Among them was a spirit rank 7 cultivation technique, which was pretty good. ¡°Haha, Welcome Everyone to come and support us. Although today¡¯s auction isn¡¯t as good as last time, the final item won¡¯t disappoint everyone.¡± Lin Mo walked forward and said with a smile. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin is finally here. I can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± At this moment, a light laugh came from outside the door. The crown prince had arrived, but Li Long from the Devine Secrets Holy Land wasn¡¯t by his side. ¡°Brother Lin is really a cultivation maniac. After the auction ended that day, I originally wanted to invite you to a banquet, but in the end, you went into seclusion on the same day,¡± the crown prince said with a smile. ¡°To be invited to a banquet by the crown prince, I am truly honored.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and smiled as he invited the crown prince into the private room. This was the golden boy, so he naturally had to treat him well. Putting everything else aside, he would maintain a friendly relationship with the crown prince until Jiang Xiyue decided to make a move. If he could get some treasures from the other party to auction off, he would be able to make a profit. ¡°Haha, let¡¯s make a deal then. I have a youth gathering tomorrow, brother Lin, I hope that you will do me the honor.¡± The crown prince smiled and walked into the private room. Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind this and walked up to the stage to explain to the crowd. ¡°Alright, without further ado, let the auction begin.¡± The maid walked up and Lin Mo immediately announced the start of the auction. The first item to be auctioned was a formation scroll. ¡°Spirit 3 rank cultivation formation, 7-star spirit gathering formation.¡± ¡°However, this is only a formation map and not a formation plate. Thus, we can only invite a spirit formation master to set it up for auction.¡± Lin Mo reminded them. Without a formation plate, an ordinary person wouldn¡¯t be able to set it up. ¡°The starting bid is 350,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than 10,000.¡± The hammer descended, and the auction began. However, the absence of the formation plate also meant that there were fewer people bidding, even though it was a cultivation formation. ¡°360,000.¡± After nearly a minute, only one person made a bid, raising the bid by 10,000. Everyone was doubtful. If Lin Mo didn¡¯t set a limit of 10,000 for each increment, would this fellow only raise the bid by 1,000¡­ ¡°360,000 yuan per bid. Is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer once. ¡°360,000 yuan twice¡­¡± ¡°Looks like the people who came here today aren¡¯t lacking in formations¡­¡± ¡°Three times, sold.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any more time. It was a loss to lose. After all, he had the system. Apart from failing to bid, he would never lose anything. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a spirit grade rank 37-star spirit gathering formation ] [ You have successfully triggered the 7,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Spirit Rank 6 nine Yang spirit gathering array ] The item he was given was still an array diagram but not a disk. Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but curl his lips. This thing didn¡¯t even have any spiritual energy fluctuations, it was no different from a piece of waste paper¡­ ¡°The second item for auction, Spirit rank 6, nine Yang spirit gathering array. Cultivation Array, without a disk, only an array diagram¡­¡± Lin Mo said as he took out the nine Yang spirit gathering formation from the system space. The maid behind him was stunned for a moment before she stopped in her tracks. ¡°The starting price is 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. Everyone in the hall was silent. If it was an attack formation diagram, they might be able to compete for a spirit rank 6 formation. However, if it was a cultivation formation, they didn¡¯t want it. Time passed by minute by minute. The hall was extremely quiet, causing Lin Mo to be speechless. ¡°No one is bidding?¡± Lin Mo was embarrassed, but thinking about it, it made sense. Even he despised it, it could be seen how unpopular it was. ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­¡± ¡°800,000.¡± Suddenly, a bid came from the crown prince¡¯s private room, even though it was the starting price. This made Lin Mo stunned, but he immediately laughed out loud. The crown prince was really giving him face. ¡°800,000 going once.¡± ¡°800,000 going twice.¡± ¡°Three times, sold.¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t be bothered to ask if anyone else was willing to bid. He dropped the hammer three times and announced the ownership of the nine yang spirit gathering array. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve always been interested in brother Lin¡¯s auction. How can I let such a thing happen?¡± The crown prince explained with a chuckle. Both his words and words indicated that his relationship with Lin Mo was extraordinary. This made many people ponder. Could it be that this Lin Mo really wanted to become the crown prince¡¯s disciple? ¡°Thank You, Your Highness.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He was naturally satisfied with the 800,000 middle-grade spirit stones he had received for free. ¡°Let¡¯s invite the next item for auction.¡± The maid behind him walked forward upon hearing this. The red cloth was lifted, and lying on the silver plate was a fruit that emitted a three-colored luster. ¡°Three yin evil gathering fruit, rank 5 spirit grade, an extremely cold attribute spiritual medicine. It has a miraculous effect on those who cultivate yin cold and darkness attribute cultivation methods.¡± ¡°Of course, this treasure can only be consumed by those above the Nirvana Realm.¡± Lin Mo reminded him. This was the treasure that he had earned back from the previous auction. However, he didn¡¯t have anyone with the yin cold attribute. It wasn¡¯t bad to take it out and auction it now. ¡°Starting bid, 1,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The auction hammer descended, and the auction began. Immediately, someone in the hall called out a bid. ¡°1,100,000.¡± ¡°1,150,000.¡± This kind of spirit medicine that could directly increase one¡¯s cultivation was the most popular, so they were all fighting over it. ¡°1,500,000.¡± In the blink of an eye, the price rose to 1,500,000. The call came from within the private room. Lin Mo was very familiar with this voice. It was the mysterious person who had bid for the star pill back then. In the end, he had even fought with the Prince of Zhennan for the heavenly soul pill, causing a heated discussion. ¡°Just who is this person? He offended the second prince, yet he is still able to participate in the auction unscathed.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. After thinking carefully for a moment, he shook his head. Guests were guests. As long as they did not cause trouble, the auction house would not reject any customer. ¡°1,500,000 going once.¡± ¡°1,500,000 going twice.¡± ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡±Lin Mo asked again. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 1,800,000.¡± On the other side of the private room, a mysterious voice sounded out, causing everyone to be extremely puzzled. Chapter 364 - Origin Dragon Pill 1.5 million was more or less enough to buy the three yin evil gathering fruit. It would be a loss to increase the price. On the contrary, Lin Mo was a little puzzled. He remembered that this was the other person who had raised the price in the last auction. ¡°Field owner Lin, we don¡¯t have enough spirit stones. Can we barter?¡± The voice shouted to play with the price and said again. Bartering could be counted as part of the auction. Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind it. ¡°Sure, but you have to take it out in public. If anyone is satisfied, you can buy it directly.¡± Lin Mo said. At the same time, he condensed his soul power and looked at the private rooms. He wanted to see who was hiding in the dark. Suddenly, everyone felt their souls go into a daze. In the next moment, a light blue spirit pill appeared in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Spirit Grade Fifth Grade Spirit Pill, Beast Heart Pill.¡± That voice sounded slowly. No one knew where he was, and they couldn¡¯t even sense his soul fluctuations. ¡°Forgive my poor eyesight, but please explain some of the effects of this spirit pill.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and said. He had never heard of the Beast Heart Pill. However, to be able to be taken out by this person, it must not be simple. ¡°After consuming it, there will be no fear in your heart. Your perception of danger will increase. You will be as sharp as a wild beast, and your strength will increase explosively. This will last for about fifteen minutes.¡± The voice sounded out. The Beast Heart Pill was not a cheap item. ¡°According to the rules, this Beast Heart Pill will be sold as an auction item. Is there anyone willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo said. If they were to fight, the Beast Heart Pill would be of great use. It was a rather good spirit pill. ¡°I¡¯m willing to pay one million.¡± In the hall, a middle-aged man stood up. He was a mercenary and had experienced many battles. He was very satisfied with the Beast Heart Pill. However, the person in the dark was not satisfied. He said, ¡°No, it¡¯s at least 1.5 million. Add some points.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The middle-aged man hesitated. He raised his head and looked at the Beast Heart Pill. He did not want to give up. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Alright, 1.5 million, I¡¯ll buy it.¡± After making his decision, he decisively took out a beast skin belt and threw it at Lin Mo. at the same time, he waved his hand, and a suction force appeared, sucking the Beast Heart Pill into his hand. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the Spirit Rank 5 Beast Heart Pill ] [ Successfully triggered 8,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Spirit Rank 8 Dragon Origin Pill ] If the Beast Heart Pill was auctioned normally, it could be sold for at least 2,500,000, or even 3,000,000. However, according to the rules of the auction house, if one did not have enough spirit stones, one could only exchange the treasure for spirit stones on the spot. However, such an auction method would definitely be a loss. Only those who truly wanted this item would choose to exchange it for spirit stones. The Beast Heart Pill was undoubtedly a loss-making transaction, which was why the other party had requested to increase the price a little. However, this was still a loss-making transaction, which was why Lin Mo received a return of 8,000 times. ¡°The effect of the Dragon Origin Pill is similar to the Beast Heart Pill. However, it can release Dragon Might and intimidate demonic beasts with weak minds. The increase in strength is also stronger¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. He could feel that with the enhancement of the Dragon Origin Pill, he could even rely on the Ancient Sword of Desolation to exchange a few moves with a Nirvana Realm expert. Of course, it was only two moves. If he didn¡¯t run, he would definitely die¡­ ¡°Alright, this senior¡¯s previous bid was 1.8 million. Is there anyone else who would like to bid?¡± Lin Mo asked, but everyone shook their heads. They could feel that this person in the dark was a Nirvana Eealm expert. Since he had already raised the price by selling the spirit pill, it was obvious that he wanted it. Even if they had the ability to compete, they wouldn¡¯t rashly offend a Nirvana Eealm expert. ¡°1.8 million, sold. Congratulations to this senior.¡± Lin Mo lightly laughed. There was no return from the auction, but at least it was a sum of spirit stones. ¡°Let¡¯s invite the next item for auction.¡± The auction continued. Lin Mo called the maid forward. Under the red cloth, there was a blood-stained inner core. This was delivered this afternoon. It was the inner core of a Nirvana Realm Third Sky Demon Beast. A top-tier mercenary group spent a lot of effort to kill it. ¡°The Red Maple Wolf¡¯s inner core was at the third sky of Nirvana Realm before it died. Its inner core is worth a lot. I rate it as a spirit grade rank 6.¡± ¡°The Red Maple Wolf is the wolf king of the mountains. Its combat strength is extremely strong. Moreover, because it is of the wind attribute, its speed is extremely fast.¡± ¡°Its inner core is undoubtedly the most suitable for a wind attribute expert. Please auction it at your discretion.¡± ¡°The starting price is 1.2 million middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000.¡± The inner core¡¯s value was already very high, not to mention that it was the Wolf King¡¯s. In just three minutes, the starting bid of 1,200,000 had already been raised to 2,500,000. Even so, there were still five people bidding. Two of them were sitting in the private room. They were rich, so the increment was also very fast. A somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded out. Many people glanced at him. From the voice, they could tell that this was a youth who looked to be around 18 or 19 years old. ¡°3,000,000 going once. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo asked. There were five people who were bidding just now. Why was there no one after being shouted at? ¡°3,000,000 going twice.¡± ¡°3,000,000 going thrice. sold.¡± After confirming that there was no one else, Lin Mo dropped the hammer and announced the results of the auction. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 6 red maple Wolf Inner Core ] [ Successfully triggered 4,000 times the auction¡¯s profit back ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the spirit rank 8 raging flame Sirius Inner Core ] The Raging Flame Sirius inner core, the fire attribute inner core was pretty good to him, he could keep it. Nodding his head in satisfaction, Lin Mo did not delay and continued the auction. Most of the items in the auction were the ones that earned back the profits from the previous auction. The quality was very high, but it was not the highest. After all, the high-quality items were all kept by Lin Mo for his own use. Most of the items that were auctioned off were those that he did not need. They were used to exchange for spirit stones, which was just enough for Yue Xuan¡¯s expenses. Apart from that, he was also hoarding resources. He had a premonition that when he attempted to break through to the tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, or when he directly jumped to tier 31, the God Devouring Body would erupt once more. At that time, he would need to prepare a huge amount of heavenly and earthly treasures. Only then would he be able to provide sufficient energy to the God Devouring Body, and the follow-up scripture of the God Devouring Art would also appear. The last time he cultivated, he had almost squeezed out a ninth level earth rank Nirvana Fire Stone before completing it. God knows how many heavenly and earthly treasures it would swallow the next time it exploded. No wonder Bai Luo had once said that he couldn¡¯t even feed himself, let alone Lin Die. With this thought in mind, the auction gradually came to an end. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a spirit rank 7 cultivation technique. At the same time, it¡¯s the second last item to be auctioned.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he called over the last serving girl. This cultivation technique had been bought over the past seven days. He didn¡¯t know who the seller was, but he was willing to sell even a rank 7 spirit rank cultivation technique. ¡°Rank 7 spirit rank cultivation technique, fire attribute cultivation technique. No side effects, no flaws.¡± ¡°This cultivation technique has certain requirements for the talent of the cultivator, but it¡¯s not high either. Anyone who can afford a rank 7 spirit rank cultivation technique must be able to meet the requirements.¡± Chapter 365 - Showcasing One’s Acting Skills ¡°After cultivating the ¡®Angry Flame Mantra¡¯, spiritual energy will be imbued with flames. With each move, the attack power will be extremely strong.¡± ¡°The starting bid is three million. Each increment must not be less than 100,000.¡± Lin Mo had just dropped the auction hammer when the sound of bidding rang out. ¡°3.1 million.¡± ¡°3,300,000.¡± ¡°3,500,000.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Cultivation techniques were rare resources everywhere, especially cultivation techniques that hadn¡¯t been passed down before. This was precisely the case for this raging flame mantra. It had never appeared in many auctions before. Hence, even the crown prince had participated in the bidding. ¡°4,500,000.¡± The crown prince made his move, and the price directly surpassed a large group of people. At the very least, everyone in the hall was shocked. However, no one was willing to give up. ¡°Five million.¡± The second prince also made a bid. Among his hangers-on, there were also some who were on the Yan Huang Feng Yun list, which was just right for this cultivation technique. Now that the other party¡¯s level had risen, since he was his subordinate, he definitely couldn¡¯t treat him unfairly. ¡°Hehe, since second brother wants it, then I won¡¯t fight for it. I¡¯ll keep the money to bid for the final treasure.¡± The crown prince laughed lightly. Seeing that the second prince was competing, he decisively gave up. ¡°Thank You, Your Highness.¡± The second prince laughed lightly. If the crown prince didn¡¯t compete, then he would naturally be happy. Today, the Zhennan King didn¡¯t come to the auction. The only one who could compete with him seemed to be the Nirvana Realm powerhouse not long ago. And there was another¡­ It was the mysterious person who had raised the price several times with him¡­ ¡°Five million once. Is there anyone willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. However, looking at everyone¡¯s expressions, it seemed that no one dared to bid anymore. That¡¯s right. Since the crown prince had given up, they didn¡¯t dare to not give him face. As for those who were qualified to compete, they either didn¡¯t come or didn¡¯t need the Fury Flame Mantra¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a loss, but it¡¯s very good. This was sent by someone else¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely happy, he dropped his hammer and shouted, ¡°5,000,000 going twice, the raging flame art isn¡¯t just at this price, have you all given up?¡± ¡°5,000,000 going thrice, sold.¡± Seeing that no one had bid yet, Lin Mo finally dropped his hammer and sold the raging flame art at a low price. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 7 cultivation technique, raging flame art ] ¡°You have successfully triggered the 10,000 times auction return.¡± ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining the half-step earth rank fire attribute cultivation technique, great burning heavens mantra.¡± ¡°My goodness, a half-step earth rank cultivation technique. I¡¯m going to make a fortune this time¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. Unless it was a special cultivation technique that could be compatible with the God Devouring mantra, he would not cultivate cultivation techniques like this. Moreover, Jiang Xiyue had the Taiyu recuperation technique, while Xiao Die had the cultivation technique from her innate imprint. Therefore, the cultivation technique was the last thing he needed. He could even learn martial arts. ¡°Half-step to earth-rank. Who cares?¡± Lin Mo looked at the crowd below, whose eyes were burning with passion. Although these people knew that they had no chance for the finale treasure, they still wanted to see what the finale would be. ¡°Everyone, sorry for the wait. The finale treasure that everyone has been waiting for has arrived. I guarantee that it will make you all excited.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a scarlet red scroll from the system space. As soon as it appeared, balls of flames gathered in the air. Faintly, even the space seemed to be unable to withstand the burning flames and was about to shatter. ¡°Half-step earth grade fire attribute cultivation technique, great burning heaven mantra. It was found by a senior of Yue Xuan¡¯s while he was touring around in an ancient ruin.¡± ¡°Back then, in order to obtain this cultivation technique, that senior almost lost his life.¡± Lin Mo casually made up a story and showed the great burning heaven mantra to everyone. Runes circulated and the flames boiled. Even sweat appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s forehead. Even the Yanhuang Divine dynasty didn¡¯t have many half-step earth grade cultivation techniques. In the private room, the crown prince had already stood up. His gaze was fixed on the scroll in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. The runes on it were so intense, and the flames it emitted were so real. This was undoubtedly a top-tier cultivation technique. If someone could comprehend it thoroughly, they might be able to improve it even further. Earth tier cultivation technique¡­ This was simply unimaginable. If he could auction it back and put it back into the national treasury. The mistakes he had made in the past would basically not be investigated, and he would even receive a reward from his father. ¡°Lin Mo, oh Lin Mo, you¡¯re really my lucky star¡­¡± The crown prince sighed and slowly sat down. Right now, the only thing he was worried about was that someone wanted to compete with him¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t say any more nonsense. This is the introduction of the Great Burning Heavens Technique. The starting price is 15 million, and each increment must not be lower than 1 million.¡± ¡°The auction will begin now.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. With such a high starting price, he had no choice. It seemed like there was no one left in the auction hall who could compete with the crown prince in terms of wealth. If he didn¡¯t raise the price a little, then he would be at a loss. Moreover, this was a treasure given by the system at a rebate rate. Even if he were to sell it at a loss, there wouldn¡¯t be any rebate. Thus, he would earn whatever he could. Even though he didn¡¯t care about half-step earth realm cultivation techniques, he still cared about spirit stones. If he could earn them, he would definitely earn them. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± The sounds of gasps rang out one after another, and everyone in the hall gulped. This was too ruthless. With such a high price, they didn¡¯t even have the qualifications to participate¡­ ¡°Hehe, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone who wants to compete with me, right?¡± The crown prince walked out of the private room, looked at Lin Mo, and said with a smile, ¡°Brother Lin, with such a high starting price, could it be that you¡¯re worried about selling it at a loss?¡± Lin Mo quickly waved his hand and smiled. ¡°Your Highness, what are you saying? I didn¡¯t set the starting price. I can¡¯t change it.¡± ¡°It was all ordered by the higher-ups. We had no choice but to auction like this¡­¡± Lin Mo directly blamed Jiang Xiyue. She was in seclusion now anyway, so she wouldn¡¯t know that he had tarnished her reputation¡­ ¡°Who would believe it¡­¡± Everyone looked at Lin Mo in disdain. The eighth princess had been in seclusion for some time, but there was still no news. Even the Emperor had responded to her summons. Moreover, she had already announced to the public that Lin Mo was the master of the Lunar Pavilion. She didn¡¯t want to sell out and act like she was throwing the blame onto the eighth princess. It was unforgivable¡­ ¡°Haha, I See. We hit it off the moment we met. I can¡¯t make things difficult for you anymore. I¡¯ll bid 20 million. Does anyone want to bid?¡± The crown prince laughed. Raising the bid by 5 million was not to show his magnanimity. It was because he did not want to make things difficult for Lin Mo. ¡°Thank you for your understanding, your highness. It¡¯s a pity that this ¡®Great Burning Sky Mantra¡¯ is not mine. Otherwise, I could gift it to Your Highness¡­ ¡°Lin Mo cupped his fists and thanked him. On the other side, the second prince also walked out of the private room. Seeing this, the crown prince smiled and said, ¡°Why? Does second brother also want to participate?¡± The second prince shook his head, bowed, and said, ¡°Your Highness Crown Prince is too serious. Just now, you gave way to me, and now it¡¯s my turn. I Won¡¯t fight for this ¡®Great Burning Sky Mantra¡¯.¡± ¡°After all, you and I are brothers. If you don¡¯t respect your elder brother, what kind of decency would that be? If Your Highness didn¡¯t raise the price quickly, I would have wanted to buy it and gift it to you¡­¡± Everyone below the stage rolled their eyes. Especially the heads of some families and forces, they all curled their lips. The three people on the stage added up to more than a thousand minds¡­ ¡°They¡¯re all actors, competing in acting skills¡­¡± Chapter 366 - Youth Gathering The final selling price of the ¡°Great Burning Sky Mantra¡± was also 20 million. No one could snatch the crown prince away. After the auction, the crown prince vaguely proposed to rope Lin Mo in, but Lin Mo did not respond. When everything was settled, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and distributed the spirit stones he earned. After he was done, Lin Mo had nothing to do. The auction couldn¡¯t be held in a short period of time. The treasures in his hands were all returned by the system, and he didn¡¯t want to sell them. ¡°What will tomorrow¡¯s gathering be like¡­¡± Walking on the street, Lin Mo muttered to himself. He didn¡¯t cultivate. He was relaxed, and his expression wasn¡¯t too good. ¡°Hmm, this aura has approached me more than once.¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual sense sensed something unusual. He had absorbed a lot of blood spirit crystals, so his spiritual sense was extremely powerful. If anyone wanted to harm him, he would be able to sense it immediately. Just a moment ago, he sensed an aura coming from a passerby. The only difference was that this person had passed by him three times while he was walking on the street¡­ ¡°He keeps changing his appearance every time. What is he trying to do?¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. He raised his vigilance and felt a little uneasy. That person had already left. Perhaps he was really just passing by, but Lin Mo still felt that something was wrong. ¡°He probably wouldn¡¯t dare to make a move on the street.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and didn¡¯t think too much about it. However, for the sake of safety, he walked around once before returning to Yue Xuan. However, when he finally returned, that feeling appeared once again. He was almost certain that it was still the same aura as before. ¡°Could it be that I still have to make a move in the Imperial City?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had not offended anyone recently. The crown prince was very close to him. The second prince, fourth Prince, and seventh Prince had also obtained many benefits from him. They would not want anything to happen to him in the short term. Excluding these, there was only one person who had the guts to come to the imperial city and attack him¡­ ¡°The secret ghost sect!¡± Lin Mo said these three words slowly, and a trace of unease rose in his heart. He had learned about the secret ghost sect¡¯s strength from Jiang Xiyue. It was a force that spread throughout the entire continent. ¡°Is the hidden ghost sect still haunting me, or did someone send a mission to kill me?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Among the various powers, there were more or less certain ways to contact the hidden ghost sect. Lin Mo suspected that it was a mission sent by someone in the imperial city that had attracted the people of the hidden ghost sect here. ¡°Huixiang, come here for a moment.¡± Unable to figure it out, he called Huixiang over. ¡°Field owner, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Huixiang jogged into the courtyard, crossed the arch bridge, and walked up to the pavilion where Lin Mo was. ¡°How much do you know about the hidden ghost sect?¡± Lin Mo asked. If the hidden ghost sect really came to assassinate him, he was a little worried that the other party would send out a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. If that was the case, it would be very difficult for him to block them. ¡°I know a little. What happened?¡± Huixiang was shocked. She did not expect Lin Mo to ask this. ¡°I just went out for a walk.¡± Lin Mo told her the truth. He needed to know more information about the hidden ghost sect¡­ ¡°If it¡¯s not spies from other forces, then it must be the hidden ghost sect. However, have you offended anyone recently?¡± Huixiang could not help but ask. If she had offended anyone, then it must have been a request from the other party. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Strictly speaking, the crown prince and the other princes have a grudge against me. But now that I can bring them benefits, they probably won¡¯t touch me.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. As long as he was still by Jiang Xiyue¡¯s side, this grudge was inevitable. Moreover, he still had to attend the crown prince¡¯s youth gathering tomorrow. There were all sorts of people there, and the secret ghost sect might make a move there¡­ ¡°Forget it. How many youths will attend the Crown Prince¡¯s youth gathering tomorrow? Help me count them. I¡¯ll see if anyone is suspicious.¡± Lin Mo said. As long as the people on the ranking list were in the imperial city, other than Jiang Xiyue, they would all attend. There was a high probability that the hidden ghost sect would not be among them. Then, it was most likely to be other youths with lower strength. ¡°Field Lord, please be careful. The hidden ghost sect is far more powerful than you think.¡± Huixiang said with a worried expression. She told Lin Mo about the hidden ghost sect and let him understand what kind of force it was. It was said that when the Yanhuang Divine dynasty was just established, the hidden ghost sect had already existed. They mainly focused on assassinations. It had once caused the entire eastern continent to fall into a state of panic. Such an assassin force had an ancient heritage and caused all the forces in the eastern continent to be terrified. Only the people of the Divine Secrets Holy Land were not afraid. It was said that the hidden ghost sect had once killed the first generation holy son of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. The Holy Land had calculated the location of their headquarters and a shocking war had broken out. That war had almost swept the entire eastern continent, allowing the four great divine dynasties to clearly see the terror of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. ¡°So, any person you meet tomorrow could be a member of the secret ghost sect.¡± Huixiang said solemnly. She even suggested that Palace Head Lin Mo reject tomorrow¡¯s gathering as an excuse. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Jiang Xiyue had been in closed-door cultivation for a long time, and she didn¡¯t even pay attention to the emperor¡¯s summons. If she came out of closed-door cultivation, she would naturally have to meet the emperor as soon as possible. Doing so would instead make Jiang Xiyue bear the crime of disobeying orders¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m not weak either. I can protect myself.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and didn¡¯t think too much about it. At this moment, he sensed the other party¡¯s aura again. The smile on his face disappeared, and he let Huixiang leave. Huixiang was also smart when she saw it. She saw something in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and left the courtyard. On the other hand, Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, looking as though he was cultivating. It was at this moment that Lin Mo finally discovered the other party¡¯s whereabouts. He was lying on the roof behind him, dressed in a night suit. Not a single trace of aura could be felt from him. If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Mo¡¯s sharp spiritual perception, this fellow might really be able to conceal himself all this while. Furthermore, this fellow was extremely strange. There wasn¡¯t a single trace of spiritual energy fluctuation from him. Unless Lin Mo carefully comprehended it, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to sense his aura. The other party was observing Lin Mo, but he didn¡¯t make a move. After observing for an entire hour, he left quietly. ¡°He shouldn¡¯t know that I¡¯ve discovered him and didn¡¯t make a move. He should be worried about Yue Xuan¡¯s formation.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself, but there was nothing he could do. He didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. When the morning of the second day arrived, Lin Mo packed up his things and headed toward the royal palace according to the invitation that Huixiang had given him. The moment he arrived, there were people who came to welcome him. He had been to the imperial city so many times, but this was the first time he had entered the imperial palace. The outer perimeter was very lively, and there were even peddlers present. They mainly served the maids and guards of the Imperial Palace. However, there were still troops stationed there. Although he had entered, he could not stay in one place for too long. Many people came to the youth gathering that the crown prince had organized. The outer perimeter of the imperial palace was extremely lively, and many people from the Board of Fame had come. Lin Mo came to the gathering place. It was a garden with all kinds of spirit herbs planted inside. Chapter 367 - Inexplicable Troubles Although his rank wasn¡¯t high, the fragrance he emitted was still shocking. Moreover, Lin Mo also sensed the auras of many experts nearby. There were quite a number of nirvana realm experts. Whoever dared to cause trouble here would probably die without a burial ground. On the Board of Fame, quite a number of people with high rankings had come. Lin Mo looked around, recalling the rankings on the Feng Yun Board in his mind. Ninth place, Gu Yue holy maiden Xiao Yue. Eighth place was him. Seventh Place, Lei Ming Holy Maiden Ji Zixiao did not come, but his sister came, and she was also on the board. Sixth Place, Jiang Xiyue, closed-door cultivation. Fifth place, Zhang Nannan, the granddaughter of the Prince of Zhennan. She was chatting with the tenth princess and Xiao Yue in a pavilion. The fourth was a faceless person. He claimed to be a wandering cultivator, but Jiang Xiyue told Lin Mo that he was backed by the emperor. He was hidden in the army in order to assist the crown prince in the future. As for the third Tianshan Holy Son, he was from the Tianshan Holy Land. This was the Holy Land that was connected to the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It was between the great ancient God dynasty and the Yanhuang dynasty. Originally, the Tianshan Holy Land wanted to be closer to the Yanhuang dynasty, so they often sent juniors to train. In the end, for some reason, they chose to cooperate with the Great Ancient Divine Empire. Lin Mo was very familiar with the second place. He had even invited the other party to a banquet, the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s candidate holy son, Li Long. This person was very close to the crown prince, and he was the crown prince¡¯s senior brother. The two of them had a very good relationship. It seemed that because Lin Mo had killed Jin lie, the crown prince had lost his right-hand man, so he chose to come to the Yanhuang Divine Empire to help. ¡°There are quite a number of people here¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and picked up the wine on the table and began to drink. ¡°This young master wants to sit here. Move aside.¡± An arrogant voice sounded. A young man walked over with a group of people. Under the signal of the young man, a person stepped forward and threw a thick fist at Lin Mo. without any explanation, he directly launched an attack. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo raised his hand and easily caught the fist. As he shook his hand, a miserable cry was heard. The person who attacked was currently hugging his arm and crying out in pain, with blood flowing out. Everyone was extremely shocked and looked over. That was a powerhouse at tier 28 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With just a casual slap from Lin Mo, the bones in his arm had been broken¡­ ¡°You dare?¡± The youth who spoke first said coldly. His eyes were filled with arrogance as he looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Boring¡­¡± Lin mo frowned. Which family¡¯s young master was this so arrogant¡­ ¡°He¡¯s Zhao Ming, a disciple of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. He¡¯s not to be trifled with.¡± At this moment, a voice transmission entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears. He turned his head and saw Xiaoyue nodding at him from the pavilion on the other side. ¡°A disciple of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, Huh? However, this isn¡¯t the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. Don¡¯t court death,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. ¡°Hmph, your name is Lin Mo, right? It just so happens that this young master really wants to see your strength. I want to kill you to avoid you being an eyesore,¡± Zhao Ming said coldly. He was extremely arrogant. His eyes were filled with a cold killing intent, causing Lin Mo to feel baffled. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve offended you before?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve only taken money from others. There are people who don¡¯t want you to live, so you should just go and die.¡± Zhao Ming¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but his words caused everyone to be shocked. This was too arrogant. He simply didn¡¯t put anyone in his eyes. Moreover, this was the imperial palace. The people of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land were too arrogant. Even the young masters and young ladies of the nobles were dissatisfied. They looked over. This was the imperial palace, their territory. The disciples of the Divine Secrets Holy Land were so arrogant. They really didn¡¯t have any respect. ¡°Attack? Here?¡± Lin Mo stood up and said. A battle was inevitable. At the same time, he also wanted to know if the person who followed him yesterday was related to Zhao Ming¡­ ¡°This place is fine. I don¡¯t need to change places to kill you.¡± A cruel smile appeared on Zhao Ming¡¯s lips. At this moment, they had already attracted the attention of many people. Especially the famous geniuses on the ranking list. They were all looking at Lin Mo, wanting to see how he would face them. There were also some young masters and young ladies with angry expressions on their faces. This was the imperial palace. No matter what, Lin Mo was still the eighth princess¡¯ subordinate. If he was really killed here, how would the imperial palace retain its face? No matter how powerful the Divine Secrets Holy Land was, the entire eastern continent, the four great divine empires were divided into four parts. ¡°I hope your ability can surpass your tone.¡± A cold smile appeared on the corner of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Before you die, I will tell you who wants to kill you.¡± Zhao Ming looked at Lin Mo with a hint of greed in his eyes. Lin Mo also looked at him. The commotion here was very big, and all the Nirvana Realm experts nearby noticed it. However, they didn¡¯t make a move. It was obvious that they didn¡¯t want to get involved in this matter. Therefore, this battle had to be carried out. He also wanted to know how strong the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s ability was. ¡°I heard that you¡¯re ranked eighth on the Board of Fame. You¡¯re somewhat famous, but I don¡¯t know how your true strength is.¡± Zhao Ming sneered, and a pale golden long spear appeared in his hand. ¡°This is the imperial palace. Don¡¯t make too much noise.¡± Zhang Nannan, the granddaughter of the Prince of Zhennan, spoke with a frown. She had met Jiang Xiyue a few times. Including Xiao Yue, the three of them were among the top ten on the ranking board, and they appreciated each other. Since Lin Mo was related to Jiang Xiyue, she couldn¡¯t just sit by and watch. ¡°Hehe, if you¡¯re afraid, you can go down the stairs,¡± Zhao Ming said mockingly. ¡°Then let¡¯s fight.¡± Lin Mo said as he took out the Ancient Sword of Desolation. It was a spirit rank 9 magic weapon, and it emitted a sharp sword aura. With such an aura, it would be hard not to attract attention. ¡°A growth type magic weapon¡­¡± Some people exclaimed. They didn¡¯t think that Lin Mo would be able to find such a magic weapon, and it had even grown to a spirit rank 9. ¡°It¡¯s that sword from back then¡­¡± Xiao Yue was shocked, and recognized the Ancient Sword of Desolation. Back then, she had even competed with Lin Mo, but in the end, Lin Mo still managed to obtain it. ¡°I¡¯ve missed out on an opportunity¡­¡± Xiao Yue sighed helplessly. The two of them instantly started fighting, and the surrounding crowd retreated. At the same time, they worked together to form a protective barrier to protect this place. Although Zhao Ming and the others weren¡¯t too sure of their actual strength, they were still disciples of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. Basically, no one who came from this sacred land was weak. The young people of the Yanhuang Divine dynasty were no match for them. However, Lin Mo wasn¡¯t bad either. Although he had just risen this year, he was still a dark horse and was a powerful person. At least, ever since Lin Mo had appeared, he didn¡¯t seem to have been at a disadvantage. His ranking on the Board of Fame had also changed time and time again, and he had caught up from behind. The sword ray flashed past, and Zhao Ming dodged it. The long spear that was flashing with a golden luster stabbed towards Lin Mo. His eyes carried a hint of wildness, as if it was the ferocity of a wild beast. The long spear swept across, and the tip of the spear vibrated, causing the sword Qi to wither continuously. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm. He stood in mid-air, calm and composed. Although the two of them had only exchanged blows for a short period of time, an invisible killing intent had already appeared in their eyes. The protective barrier was still stable, but cracks had appeared on the ground beneath the two. It was somewhat unable to withstand their auras. Chapter 368 - Live Auction ¡°Boom¡­¡± The explosion caused by the collision was too terrifying. The protective barrier formed by the combined efforts of everyone rippled and almost shattered. ¡°This is too terrifying. They can¡¯t even use their martial arts¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just the clash of spear intent and sword intent is already so terrifying. There aren¡¯t many people who can fight against them.¡± Right at this moment, Zhao Ming was the first to take action. A loud eagle¡¯s cry reverberated and the space shook. ¡°A mere tier 29 can make me use my martial arts. You should be proud of yourself.¡± Zhao Ming roared angrily. He was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, the strongest realm below the Nirvana Realm. He thought that he could easily suppress Lin Mo, but he was blocked by him. this made him feel that he couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. As such, he displayed his martial arts. His long spear transformed into a scarlet-gold goshawk. Tens of thousands of golden feathers appeared, transforming into a long spear that shot towards Lin Mo. The long spear shook the world, causing space to tremble. The level of this martial art wasn¡¯t low at all. The sword light instantly shattered, and countless long spears smashed down as easily as crushing dried twigs. It gave people the feeling that they were facing an army of thousands of horses. This kind of indiscriminate attack caused everyone to feel a sudden increase in pressure. Some of the weaker ones began to sweat on their foreheads. Under the lead of the goshawk, the golden spear swooped down and swept through everything. Lin Mo was slightly shocked. Although this Zhao Ming was arrogant, he still had some ability. He had never used the Ancient Sword of Desolation before. The God-Devouring art circulated, and with him at the center, a black ring of light spread out. A world was formed in the halo, and all kinds of symbols were flashing inside. A faint suction force came from the halo, and all the spiritual qi in the area was devoured. Lin Mo stood in the center, holding the Ancient Sword of Desolation. He looked like a banished immortal, and his clothes were fluttering. He didn¡¯t move at all. The God Devouring Body activated by the God Devouring Art seemed to be able to block thousands of soldiers and horses. ¡°Kill!¡± Zhao Ming roared. His hair had already been dyed golden, and the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be burning as he charged over with his spear. Lin Mo was calm and composed. The defense of the God Devouring Body was extremely terrifying. No matter how agile Zhao Ming¡¯s attacks were, there wasn¡¯t the slightest fluctuation. Everyone turned pale with fright, and their eyes were somewhat dazed. Lin Mo¡¯s strength was too strong. Perhaps this eighth place was a bit inaccurate¡­ Everyone present had felt Zhao Ming¡¯s attack before, and they knew that they couldn¡¯t easily receive it like Lin Mo. ¡°He¡¯s just pretending, watch me break it.¡± A powerful light burst out, and those golden spears once again turned into feathers. Then, another change occurred, and they actually turned into goshawks. The goshawks carried the spear intent, and they were fearless as they crazily attacked Lin Mo. In the end, the God Devouring Body¡¯s Halo was broken, and Zhao Ming charged in. Lin Mo stood with the Ancient Sword of Desolation in his hand, lightly shaking his head. Zhao Ming¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t bad, but he was too arrogant. After being blocked by Lin Mo¡¯s attack, he had lost his footing¡­ He held the long sword in his hand, killing the approaching goshawk. Wisps of flames gradually appeared, and on Lin Mo¡¯s back, the flames formed a pair of wings. With a gentle flap, it brought about an endless gale. Lin Mo¡¯s speed increased explosively. These were the Kun Peng Wings that were covered in flames. He shuttled through this area. Every time he swung his longsword, a few goshawks would be killed. As they continued to exchange blows, Zhao Ming gradually fell into a disadvantage. The goshawks he summoned continued to fall and be killed. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have enough battle experience. This Zhao Ming isn¡¯t Lin Mo¡¯s match.¡± Someone in the distance pointed out the battle situation. Lin Mo was at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, while Zhao Ming was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. If Zhao Ming had used the concentration of spiritual energy to exhaust Lin Mo from the start, even if his battle strength wasn¡¯t as strong, as long as he entered a battle of attrition, Lin Mo would definitely lose. ¡°A battle of attrition huh¡­¡± In the distance, Li Long looked at the situation on the battlefield and didn¡¯t have any intention of making a move. His spiritual sense was sharp, and when Zhao Ming fell into Lin Mo¡¯s halo, the rate of spiritual energy consumption increased drastically. On the other hand, Lin Mo didn¡¯t expend much of his spiritual energy after the battle. ¡°Die!¡± Zhao Ming roared and charged forward, catching up to Lin Mo. his entire body was covered by a layer of golden armor. At this moment, he was like a god of war, the golden spear in his hand unleashing its most powerful attack. Even Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body¡¯s domain was a little unstable, and the amount of spiritual energy absorbed decreased, as if it was about to shatter. However, he had never been defeated in his own domain. In this place, he was the absolute ruler, devouring all outsiders¡­ He stood in the center, unshakable. The Ancient Sword of Desolation blocked the spear, and then flames followed as the sword slashed out. Zhao Ming instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. The spear left his hand and was restrained by the God Devouring Body¡¯s domain. As for himself, after being pushed back, he crashed into the halo and didn¡¯t escape. In reality, as long as he entered, without Lin Mo¡¯s permission, he would have to pay a price if he wanted to escape. Not to mention, Zhao Ming was already injured. ¡°Before you kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold as he looked at Zhao Ming. The God Devouring Body¡¯s domain locked down his opponent and crazily absorbed his spiritual energy. ¡°Boom.¡± Another sword slashed down. Cracks appeared on the golden armor. Lin Mo stood in the air with a long sword in his hand. His expression was calm. He slowly walked over and pointed his long sword at the center of Zhao Ming¡¯s brows. ¡°You¡¯ve lost. Tell me who¡¯s behind this and I¡¯ll spare your life.¡± In the distance, everyone was shocked. They had thought that it would be a fierce battle, but they didn¡¯t expect it to end like this. Xiao Yue and Zhang Nannan looked calm, but they were still very surprised. They looked at Lin Mo with fear in their eyes. Li Long was the same. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to have such a method. That mysterious halo seemed to have the effect of restricting the enemy and increasing their own spiritual energy¡­ Blood dripped from the corner of Zhao Ming¡¯s mouth. Although he was defeated, he didn¡¯t show any fear. Instead, he looked at Lin Mo with disdain. ¡°Do you really think I don¡¯t dare to?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, the Ancient Sword of Desolation released a ray of scarlet sword light and was about to slash down. ¡°Brother Lin, please calm down.¡± It was Li Long. At this time, Li Long couldn¡¯t just sit idly by and watch as he entered the battlefield. At this time, Lin Mo had already withdrawn his God Devouring Body¡¯s domain. The golden spear that had been imprisoned wanted to fly away. However, Lin Mo had already taken a step forward and grasped it firmly in his hand. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin has won. This is naturally your spoils of war. However, the Golden Eagle Spear has our sacred land¡¯s mark on it. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to take it away. How about this, I¡¯ll use spirit stones to buy it back.¡± Li Long said with a faint smile. As he said this, he stopped not too far away from Lin Mo. his face carried a smile and was very friendly. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned and immediately smiled. He raised his hand and took off the ring on Zhao Ming¡¯s middle finger. His spiritual sense forcefully broke through the seal. All the treasures inside were thrown out by Lin Mo. ¡°Since brother Li has already said so, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. These treasures will be auctioned on the spot. The highest bidder will get them. What do you think?¡± He smiled. As long as both parties admitted that it was an auction, even if no one was bidding, it would still be an auction¡­ Li long nodded and smiled. ¡°Sure. As a token of apology, brother Lin, you can raise the starting price a little¡­¡± Chapter 369 - Spatial Treasure Box ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Adding all the items together, one million mid-grade spirit stones will do.¡± Lin Mo smiled. No one was bidding. He was setting an extremely low starting price, and it was a loss-making auction. ¡°I¡¯ll bid one million. Thank you again, brother Lin.¡± Li Long called out the price. At the same time, he looked around and saw that no one dared to open their mouths. ¡°Deal!¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t be bothered to bid once or twice. He immediately closed the deal with Li Long and took the 1,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. The system¡¯s notification sounded. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Spirit Rank 9 golden eagle spear ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth rank 3 radiant sun spear ] The first treasure was an Earth rank 3 radiant sun spear. There were not even more than 10 of these items in the eastern continent. Of course, this was already known, not including the treasures hidden in the ruins and dangerous lands. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 8 Ultimate Spirit Pill ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth rank rank rank 2 heaven withering pill ] Another 10,000 times, and it was still the heaven withering pill. Lin Mo immediately checked its medicinal effects. The so-called Heaven Withering Pill was a spirit pill that could completely deplete the spiritual energy within a certain area. During this period of time, only the owner of the spirit pill could use the spiritual energy. It could be said to be a supreme treasure that could kill enemies. However, this thing was only useful to experts below the fifth sky of the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, if the gap between the two parties was too big, the time for the spiritual energy to be exhausted would be greatly reduced. At the very least, Lin Mo only needed three breath¡¯s time to completely recover the spiritual energy of an expert at the fifth sky of the Nirvana realm. ¡°It can also be considered as a trump card.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself and continued to look at the system¡¯s notification. He had been given a lot of things. Zhao Ming was indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. He had all sorts of treasures on him. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off a spirit grade tier 5 spatial magic tool, Black Spirit Ring ] [ Successful triggering of 10,000 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining a spirit rank 9 spatial magic tool, Sky Wheel Ring ] [ Auctioning off a spatial magic tool, obtaining a complete blueprint of the spatial magic tool ] The system notification continued for a long time. Finally, it was a spatial magic tool, which was Zhao Ming¡¯s ring. ¡°Blueprint, what grade is it?¡± Lin Mo was delighted. He just so happened to need a blueprint. The grades that he had obtained previously were too low, so he didn¡¯t take a fancy to them. [ Spirit grade tier 7 spatial magic tool, spatial treasure box. It can contain living beings within. Under the condition that the spiritual energy within is abundant, it can survive for a long time. ] Seeing the system¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo was shocked. The blueprint of this spatial magic tool was simply a great treasure to him. Once it was refined, he would be able to obtain at least ten million middle-grade spirit stones from the auction. This kind of spatial magic tool that could store living beings was precious to begin with, not to mention that it could be stored for a long time. ¡°Perfect¡­¡± A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth. It seemed that he had made the right move this time. These gains were enough for him to hold an auction. ¡°Brother Lin, since the auction has ended, please release my junior brother.¡± On the other side, Li Long also noticed Lin Mo¡¯s expression. Seeing that Lin Mo wasn¡¯t angry, he let out a sigh of relief and said. In his eyes, Lin Mo¡¯s courage had already reached this point. However, this was also normal. After all, although he had the eighth princess behind him, an eighth princess wasn¡¯t enough to protect him in the hands of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t a simple person who could bend and stretch¡­ The people around them were also discussing animatedly. Some were praising Lin Mo, some were belittling him, and some were gloating over his misfortune. After all, the relationship between Lin Mo and the Divine Secrets Sacred Land was no longer friendly. Even though Zhao Ming was in the wrong, Lin Mo¡¯s background wasn¡¯t strong. If he was a prince, then it would be very difficult for Zhao Ming to walk out of the Imperial City alive today¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not over yet, brother Li, don¡¯t panic.¡± However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, not only did Lin Mo not let go of Zhao Ming, he even stomped half of his head into the ground. ¡°Ah¡­ Lin Mo¡­ I¡¯m going to kill you.¡± Zhao Ming¡¯s howl resounded, and everyone turned pale with fright. They didn¡¯t think that Lin Mo would dare to do this. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t go too far.¡± Li Long¡¯s expression gradually turned cold. Lin Mo¡¯s actions were practically stepping on the face of the Divine Secrets Holy Land, humiliating him in front of him. ¡°Too far? From the start, he was the one who had arrogantly said that he wanted to kill me in public. ¡°After being defeated by me, he still dares to speak so arrogantly. Who exactly is the one who went too far?¡± Lin Mo looked at Li Long, not backing down at all. He was a completely different person from the one who had just compromised. ¡°This fellow has gone too far. I¡¯m afraid sister Xiyue won¡¯t be able to protect him¡­¡± On the tenth princess¡¯ side, she, Xiao Yue, Zhang Nannan, and the others frowned. They had thought that Lin Mo had already given up. Who would have thought that he would humiliate Zhao Ming in front of everyone. ¡°Even if Zhao Ming is in the wrong, he¡¯s still my junior brother. If you do this in front of me, don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re taking me too lightly?¡± The smile on Li Long¡¯s face completely disappeared as he spoke. He originally thought that Lin Mo would admit defeat, but who would have thought that he would actually dare to do this? ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± Seeing that Lin Mo raised his foot and was about to step down again, Li long hurriedly said, not daring to say any more nonsense. ¡°The auction isn¡¯t over yet, don¡¯t be anxious.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and looked at the surrounding crowd, smiling as he said, ¡± A tier 31 Dragon Transormation Realm slave, a disciple of the Holy Land, an illustrious status, the starting price is 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Is anyone interested?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°How dare he?¡± ¡°He¡¯s simply courting death. Could it be that Lin Mo has some other background?¡± The people discussed animatedly. Many people¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. This was simply unimaginable. That was a disciple of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. To be auctioned as a slave, was he trying to push their relations beyond repair? ¡°This fellow, is he really not afraid of death?¡± The tenth princess muttered. Li long could be said to be the second genius of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. Lin Mo offending him like this could be said to have no room for negotiation. ¡°No, on the contrary, this is the only path he can take. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s a little too radical.¡± Xiao Yue had a different view. She looked at the tenth princess and Zhang Nannan. After hesitating for a moment, she still voiced her opinion. ¡°Lin Mo is the eighth princess¡¯ man. Although he¡¯s very close to the crown prince, he doesn¡¯t show any intention of changing sides. ¡°That¡¯s why without the crown prince¡¯s protection, he still offended Zhao Ming. Even if Lin Mo were to compromise, their relationship wouldn¡¯t improve. ¡°Rather than compromise and get assassinated afterwards, it¡¯s better to offend him once and for all. ¡°Furthermore, with his arrogance, he doesn¡¯t seem to be willing to compromise¡­¡± After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she looked at Lin Mo. With such talent, how could he be willing to submit to others? Presumably, his relationship with the eighth princess wasn¡¯t that of a minister. This could also explain why Lin Mo had such great authority in Yue Xuan¡­ ¡°Boring court battles¡­¡± After the tenth princess and Zhang Nannan heard this, they immediately felt a headache. This involved too many things. They did not like this kind of open and hidden battles. Only after Xiao Yue explained did they understand. Xiao Yue covered her mouth and laughed, ¡°If I don¡¯t participate, I¡¯ll just watch the show¡­¡± Chapter 370 - Failed Bid The atmosphere gradually became tense. Veins popped up on Li Long¡¯s forehead. If not for the fact that he still had a shred of rationality left, he would have already attacked someone. The group of people were dumbfounded. How did Lin Mo dare to step on the genius of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land and auction him off as a slave? ¡°You¡­ Dare to humiliate me? I will definitely kill you¡­¡± Zhao Ming used all his strength, but was unable to break free from Lin Mo¡¯s feet. His voice trembled as he practically shouted out loud. His eyes were filled with a fierce light as he stared fixedly at Lin Mo. He was originally a genius from the sacred land. Even if there were a few experts with the same name in the sacred land, they weren¡¯t weak either. When he came to the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty, he originally thought that he could suppress many geniuses, so he accepted the mission to kill Lin Mo. He felt that he did not represent an individual, but the Divine Secrets Holy Land. With the Divine Secrets Holy Land backing him up, even if the eighth princess wanted to settle the score after the incident, he would at most be able to apologize and it would be fine. Who would have thought that Lin Mo would take him down in a dozen moves and even auction him off as a slave? ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯ve caused a great disaster. It¡¯s already too late to regret it now,¡± Li Long said expressionlessly. He slowly walked forward with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he was ready to make a move at any moment. The surrounding crowd also sighed. Lin Mo was too sharp. Even if the eighth princess came out of seclusion, she wouldn¡¯t be able to protect him. If they had listened to Li Long just now and let it go, then there wouldn¡¯t have been any problems for the time being. Now, things had turned out this way. However, they also looked at Lin Mo in a new light. Zhao Ming held a spirit grade tier 9 magic tool in his hand. He had cultivated both high-tier martial arts and martial arts, so his strength wasn¡¯t weak. However, he had only taken a dozen or so moves from Lin Mo, and it seemed like Lin Mo was intentionally giving in. ¡°Is that so? What do you think I should do?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Li Long continued to approach, his body leaning forward, faintly showing signs of wanting to make a move. He was very strong, different from Zhao Ming¡¯s tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm. Lin Mo could feel that if he were to fight Li Long, it would be a fierce battle. ¡°The Divine Secrets Holy Land can not be humiliated. Follow me back to the Holy Land and fight for leniency.¡± As Li Long spoke, his body suddenly dashed out. His speed was very fast, almost instantly appearing in front of Lin Mo. his fingers turned into claws as he clawed toward his heart. ¡°Clang.¡± After a series of metallic tremors, Li Long¡¯s figure retreated. At the same time, a puppet was sent flying. Everyone looked over and saw Lin Mo standing on the spot unscathed. The one that was sent flying was the origin spirit puppet that he hadn¡¯t used for a long time. Ever since the origin spirit puppet evolved to Tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, he hadn¡¯t used it much. Moreover, to break through to Nirvana Realm, he needed too many spirit stones, and forcefully breaking through wouldn¡¯t make up for the loss. Thus, it had been shelved by Lin Mo, but that didn¡¯t mean that it didn¡¯t exist anymore. ¡°What a powerful puppet¡­¡± Li long stood steadily in the distance, his eyes flickering as he looked at Lin Mo. Right now, he only felt a slight numbness in his palm. The hardness of the origin spirit puppet had surprised him. He had thought that it would be shattered by his claw, but he didn¡¯t expect that it would only be sent flying and not even be damaged. ¡°Looks like brother Li doesn¡¯t plan to participate in the subsequent auctions. Since this auction item is going to fail, then I¡¯ll just deal with it myself.¡± Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and didn¡¯t plan to waste any more time. The Ancient Sword of Desolation appeared, and with a flash of sword light, it was about to stab towards Zhao Ming¡¯s head. ¡°Wait.¡± Li Long was shocked. He was really worried that Li Long would kill Zhao Ming here. ¡°Ah¡­¡± ¡°Brother Li, is there anything else?¡± Lin Mo raised his head and said. The instant Li Long spoke, the Ancient Sword of Desolation shifted its direction and pierced through Zhao Ming¡¯s right hand. Then, it seemed like he had accidentally cut off one of Zhao Ming¡¯s arms. ¡°You really can¡¯t take a beating. This arm is really weak¡­¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. Then, he thought about whether the system would reward him if he damaged the auction item¡­ ¡°I was too careless. I forgot about the rebate from the auction¡­¡± He felt a wave of regret. Why didn¡¯t Li Long make a bid? was he really going to watch Zhao Ming be killed by him? However, he did not know that this auction was different from the last time. He still remembered that he had captured Qianqian and auctioned her off as a female slave. Qianqian still hated him for this. Every time they met, she wished she could hack him with her sword. The people in Forest City did not know Qianqian¡¯s identity at all, nor did they know why Jiang Xiyue had bought her. Therefore, although Qianqian held a grudge, it was not to the extent of killing Lin Mo. after all, no one knew. Now, he was forcing Li Long to submit in front of everyone. It was no different from a hard slap on the face of the Divine Secrets Holy Land This was indeed a little ruthless. If the number one Holy Land of the East had actually saved their own disciple through an auction. They would probably become a laughing stock¡­ The people in the surroundings were in a daze. Lin Mo was too ruthless. The moment Li Long made his move, he dismembered Zhao Ming¡¯s arm. ¡°You¡­ Just you wait¡­¡± Zhao Ming shouted, his anger surging to the heavens. Other than that, a trace of fear flashed through his heart. The fear of facing death. Could it be that Lin Mo was really not afraid of death? The Fury of the Divine Secrets Holy Land was not something a junior like him could withstand¡­ ¡°Senior brother Li Long, save me quickly¡­¡± Seeing that the threat was ineffective, he could only call for help. He hoped that Li long could save him, or else he would really die here. ¡°Bang.¡± When Lin Mo heard Zhao Ming calling for help, he ruthlessly kicked him away. Following that, he followed up with another kick, sending half of his head back into the ground. ¡°Your senior brother Li Long doesn¡¯t seem to have any money left. Since you can¡¯t offer a price, then let¡¯s end the bidding.¡± Lin Mo lost his patience. When Zhao Ming heard this, he was both angry and afraid. The pride in his heart had long been shattered, and there was no arrogance in his eyes. There was only the desire to live. ¡°Brother Lin, you have to be merciful when possible¡­¡± At this moment, a group of figures came from afar. Their eyes were filled with shock, and they couldn¡¯t believe what they were seeing. It was the crown prince, the host who had been watching the show in secret. He had finally arrived. ¡°Your Highness.¡± Lin Mo bowed slightly, but he had no intention of letting him go. In the next moment, a heart-wrenching scream sounded. Zhao Ming¡¯s other arm had also been stabbed by the Ancient Sword of Desolation. It hadn¡¯t been cut off yet, but it was about to be. ¡°Lin Mo, this is the imperial palace. It¡¯s disrespectful of you to act like this.¡± The crown prince was furious. He had personally appeared, but he still hadn¡¯t let Lin Mo go. On the contrary, Lin Mo became even more furious, causing him to be dissatisfied. ¡°Young Master Lin, please show mercy. It¡¯s better to not cause too much trouble.¡± The tenth princess also spoke. Following that, Zhang Nannan, Xiao Yue, and the others, as well as some young masters and young ladies with prominent statuses, also spoke. Zhao Ming was extremely furious when he saw this scene. When he was captured previously, these people did not ask for mercy. When the crown prince stepped forward, they all pretended to be good people, causing him to be furious. ¡°Is that so¡­ ¡°Alright then, just treat it as a failed auction. Looks like no one is willing to accept you¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently. In any case, he had already achieved his goal. As long as he completed the auction process, even if it was a failed auction, he would still receive a rebate. He just didn¡¯t know what the system would give him¡­ Chapter 371 - Ji Zixiao’s Letter of Challenge [ Congratulations, host, for completing the auction process. Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm servant. ] [ This auction has triggered a 9,000-times-rebate. Due to the host¡¯s malicious damage to the auction item during the auction process, the return treasure will also be damaged. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining an incomplete origin spirit puppet with the strength of a fifth sky of the Nirvana Realm. ] Lin Mo curled his lips. He still felt a little regretful when he heard the system¡¯s voice. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have been so ruthless. He also didn¡¯t know what kind of flaw this incomplete puppet had. It would definitely be destroyed after being used once¡­ His consciousness entered the system space and Lin Mo looked at the origin spirit puppet that he had just obtained. However, he discovered that it was only a ball of faint golden light. The spiritual energy within it wasn¡¯t small, but it was a little turbid. ¡°System, this ¡®incomplete¡¯ of yours is too serious¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. He recognized that this was the origin of the origin soulspirit puppet. However, this ball of origin energy before his eyes had no effect at all. Because without a carrier, no matter how powerful the origin energy was, it would lose its effect. ¡°Wait, I already have a origin spirit puppet¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled that he still had a Tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm origin spirit puppet. The two of them were of the same origin, so he might be able to withstand it¡­ With the mentality of giving it a try, Lin Mo kept the origin soul puppet into the system space and allowed the two to fuse. ¡°Crack¡­¡± The fusion had just begun when a crisp sound was heard. One could see that the indestructible body of the origin spirit puppet had actually cracked open a crack due to this ball of powerful origin energy. ¡°It can¡¯t be¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. If that was really the case, then he really didn¡¯t know what he would do. ¡°Crack¡­¡± The crack continued to expand. In the end, Lin Mo lost his confidence and didn¡¯t want to look at it anymore. This time, he had lost both his wife and his soldiers. He didn¡¯t get any benefits and even destroyed the origin spirit puppet¡­ When he thought about having a fifth sky of the Nirvana stage puppet, Lin Mo felt a wave of regret in his heart¡­ ¡°I¡¯m really¡­ Regretful¡­¡± At this moment, the surrounding people were still looking at Lin Mo. when they saw the complicated expression on his face, they were at a loss. ¡°Lin Mo, why aren¡¯t you letting go of fellow Daoist Zhao Ming?¡± The crown prince said. Putting aside Lin Mo¡¯s expression, it was better to save Zhao Ming first. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Mo nodded and looked at Zhao Ming. ¡°Who did you receive benefits from? Who wants to kill me? Tell me and I¡¯ll let you off.¡± He couldn¡¯t count on the puppet anymore. Right now, he wanted to know who wanted to kill him in the dark. It would be easier for him to determine. ¡°That¡¯s impossible, don¡¯t even think about it¡­¡± Zhao Ming laughed coldly. The crown prince was here, and Li Long was present. He was certain that Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t dare to go overboard. ¡°Argh¡­¡± Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Ming let out a blood-curdling scream. Everyone present was shocked. Even the crown prince and Li Long didn¡¯t dare to believe it. ¡°You talk too much nonsense. I can¡¯t kill you, but I can still cripple you¡­¡± Lin Mo slowly pulled out the Ancient Sword of Desolation from Zhao Ming¡¯s Dantian. However, Zhao Ming¡¯s powerful cultivation had also completely dissipated. His Dantian had been destroyed. Even if he relied on elixirs to recover in the future, it would still leave a huge wound. This kind of injury would be difficult to recover unless one encountered a rare treasure. ¡°You¡­ How dare you¡­¡± Zhao Ming said with a trembling voice. He didn¡¯t dare to imagine that the spiritual energy that he had painstakingly cultivated would be destroyed just like that¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me about not stopping until one of us is dead. You people who think that you have a high position, when you accepted the mission to kill me, wouldn¡¯t we have already started fighting until one of us is dead?¡± Lin Mo sneered. Since they were already enemies, there was no need to show mercy. If he could kill them, he would definitely kill them. Ignoring the gazes of Li Long and the crown prince, Lin Mo kicked Zhao Ming away and found a pergola to sit in. The reason why he dared to do this was because the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind¡­ ¡°The damaged origin spirit puppet has lost its battle consciousness and is damaged internally. However, its soul can enter and control it, and its strength can be raised to the third sky of the Nirvana stage.¡± That¡¯s right. Just now, this sentence echoed in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. This was the reason why he dared to destroy Zhao Ming¡¯s confidence. Although the origin spirit puppet was destroyed, it had fused with the origin energy. Although it seemed like a failure, it had succeeded. Moreover, to him, this wasn¡¯t just raising his strength to the third sky of the Nirvana realm. Don¡¯t forget, the trump card he had in his possession, the heaven-withering pill, and the incomplete technique of an ancient divine beast. Once he used these, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid even if he met someone at the fifth sky of the Nirvana Realm, and he could even counter-attack. With such a trump card, although he wouldn¡¯t be able to run amok in the Imperial Palace, he wouldn¡¯t be afraid. If he couldn¡¯t win, he could still escape. Moreover, now that the origin spirit puppet was destroyed beyond recognition, no one would be able to recognize his identity¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, do you know how hard it is to break through? If you don¡¯t leave a trace, it will make things difficult for many people. Even geniuses will die young.¡± Li long looked at Zhao Ming¡¯s injuries and said with a cold expression. His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it carried a hint of threat. ¡°You¡¯re right. It¡¯s common for geniuses to die young.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. There wasn¡¯t the slightest bit of fear in his voice. ¡°Enough, don¡¯t discuss this matter anymore¡­¡± The crown prince roared angrily. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Right now, he was feeling a little regretful. Why did he have to hold this youth gathering? Not only was his relationship with Lin Mo on the verge of collapse, there would also be elders from the Divine Secrets Holy Land who would have objections towards him¡­ ¡°Since the crown prince has said so, then I won¡¯t mention it.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He raised the wine cup at the side and calmly drank the wine¡­ The crown prince had arrived, and the gathering had already begun. However, after such a commotion, the gathering had obviously changed. Everyone was secretly discussing Lin Mo¡¯s matter. As they were all secretly transmitting their voices, this also caused the gathering to become much quieter. ¡°Hey, you dare to offend the Divine Secrets Sacred Land like this. Do you really have a trump card, or are you just acting like a brave man?¡± Lin Mo drank alone, and no one dared to come over and sit at the same table with him. However, a woman quickly walked over and sat opposite Lin Mo as she asked. This person was Ji Hong. She had met Lin Mo a few times before. They were not enemies, but they could not be considered close either. ¡°Others fear me like tigers, leopards, and wolves. How dare you come here?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile. ¡°Tch, forget it if you don¡¯t want to say it. I¡¯m here to challenge you.¡± Ji Hong pursed her lips and dismissed the idea of asking for more information. ¡°Challenge?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Could it be that Ji Hong wanted to challenge him? It didn¡¯t make sense. The gap between the two was very obvious, be it in terms of ranking or strength level. ¡°It¡¯s not me. It¡¯s my brother, the Thunder Sacred Land¡¯s holy son, Ji Zixiao.¡± Ji Hong spoke in a low voice, but all the cultivators present could hear their conversation. When they heard that Ji Zixiao had asked his sister to challenge Lin Mo, they were all extremely curious and looked over. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. My brother is a battle maniac. After hearing about your deeds, he longed for a fight, a simple fight.¡± Ji Hong waved her hand and explained. Everyone understood. They had long heard of Ji Zixiao¡¯s title of battle maniac and cultivation maniac. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll accept it. I¡¯ll accept the challenge when your brother comes to the imperial city.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head. He also wanted to see Ji Zixiao¡¯s strength. After saying this, he got up and prepared to leave. Since the gathering had come to this point, it was about time to end. After all, no one had expected the main event to appear at the beginning¡­ Chapter 372 - Fight Against a Nirvana Realm Powerhouse On the way back, Lin Mo strolled around and occasionally entered some small vendors to look for treasures. However, he didn¡¯t find anything that could be picked up. Even if there was really a treasure, it was clearly marked with a price. ¡°It¡¯s boring. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently and didn¡¯t stay any longer. He quickly disappeared on the street. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that Lin Mo from the top ten? I heard that the crown prince is holding a youth gathering. Why didn¡¯t he go?¡± Someone was curious. ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore. It¡¯s just a rumor. The gathering ended on bad terms. Many geniuses have left.¡± Some people gathered together and whispered. At the entrance of Yue Xuan, Lin Mo walked in. His guarded heart finally relaxed. The layout of Yue Xuan was very good. There were many courtyards and pavilions everywhere. Lin Mo liked to sit alone in them. Just as he came to a courtyard, Lin Mo felt that something was wrong. He sensed a dangerous aura, he spread out his spiritual sense and found that someone had followed him into Yue Xuan. He was not afraid of this. He had some life-saving cards on him. Even if a Nirvana Realm powerhouse came, he was confident that he could kill him. Of course, he also knew that this was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s territory. If the matter was blown out of proportion, perhaps the emperor would make a move. It was best if he could secretly kill the offender without alerting anyone. This was the best ending. A breeze blew in the pavilion. A maid brought a flask of wine and poured wine for him. Threads of spiritual energy appeared around him, and a formation was operating quietly. ¡°Leave.¡± Lin Mo raised his wine cup and told the maid to leave. He used his spiritual sense to observe his surroundings. ¡°Hiding your head and showing your tail. Do you think I won¡¯t notice if you set up a formation quietly?¡±Lin Mo wasn¡¯t afraid and spoke calmly. ¡°As expected of someone who can enter the ranking board. It seems that it will take some effort to kill you.¡± The walls of the small courtyard twisted, and a middle-aged man slowly walked down with a folding fan in his hand. The folding fan was opened and gently flapped. Such an action could be said to be unrestrained. He was very much like a scholar. ¡°A person from the Divine Secrets Holy Land, or a prince, or perhaps a crown prince?¡± Lin Mo asked indifferently. ¡°Oh?¡± That scholar was stunned and looked at Lin Mo. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°It seems that you have offended a lot of people. You don¡¯t even know who you are about to die in the hands of¡­¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not someone from these three factions, then who is it? Someone from the Secret Ghost Sect?¡± Lin Mo was a little puzzled. He had seen the scholarly man¡¯s slight astonishment just now. It didn¡¯t seem like he was faking it. However, could the secret ghost sect come to the Imperial City to assassinate him? Thinking of this, he couldn¡¯t help but clench his fists lightly, ready to fight at any time. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I won¡¯t kill you. I just need you to come with me,¡± The other party said unhurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t try to resist. This place has already been isolated by my formation. You can¡¯t control Yue Xuan¡¯s formation. If you resist stubbornly, the final result won¡¯t be what you and I want to see.¡± His strength was very powerful. It was the strength of the first sky of the Nirvana Realm. Lin Mo was only at Tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. His realm was far behind, so he wasn¡¯t in a hurry to make a move. Even if Lin Mo resisted, it was just a waste of time in his eyes. ¡°You think you¡¯re so great, do you really think you can take me away?¡± Lin Mo looked at this person from the corner of his eye. A Nirvana Realm powerhouse being looked down upon like this, especially by a junior, instantly made him furious. Especially this junior, who was an ant in his eyes, an ant that he could crush to death with one hand¡­ ¡°Then I¡¯ll teach you a lesson first.¡± He directly made his move, opening his mouth and spitting out a ball of flames that contained the Dao principles of flames. The scorching heat swept through the entire courtyard, but it was blocked by the formation. No fluctuations were leaked out. The entire courtyard¡¯s temperature rose because of his attack. Lin Mo was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect this fellow¡¯s strength to be so powerful. The Dao he comprehended was even denser than that of an ordinary Nirvana Realm expert. The moment he made his move, he displayed unparalleled strength. The flames on his back covered the Kun Peng Wings. He flapped them lightly and swiftly dodged because this was the flames of the Dao that the other party had comprehended. He couldn¡¯t touch it. The reason why the Nirvana Realm was able to suppress the Dragon Transformation Realm was because he had started to come into contact with Dao techniques. He was no longer restricted by techniques. Therefore, the increase in his battle prowess could be said to be quite terrifying. At this stage, it was no longer so easy to cross realms to battle. To be able to enter the Nirvana Realm, one could be considered an expert in the entire Yanhuang Divine dynasty. No matter where he was, he would be respected. Even in the Imperial City, his status was also high¡­ Some of the young geniuses with great talent and combat strength could even enter the imperial palace and become officials. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo dodged the attack of the Dao Fire. The entire small courtyard was burned. The lake water below was directly evaporated, and the soil turned into magma. ¡°So powerful. Just the Dao technique I comprehended when I entered the Nirvana Realm has far surpassed mine.¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in his heart. During the period of entering the Nirvana Realm, there would be a hint of enlightenment, and one would be able to feel the Great Dao of Heaven and earth, and gain a lot of benefits. Although it was only for an instant, it was enough to be comparable to tens of years of bitter cultivation for others. ¡°Its power is not bad, but you don¡¯t seem to be able to control the essence well. Do you want me to teach you?¡± Lin Mo ridiculed. As he spoke, a ball of Dao fire lit up in his hand. Although it was not as powerful, it still belonged to the Dao fire category. These words instantly caused the middle-aged man¡¯s face to become gloomy. He was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. At this moment, he had already lost his status by coming to capture a junior. Now, he was being ridiculed by the other party. He could not endure it anymore. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± He waved the folding fan in his hand. Numerous symbols flickered and his entire body pounced towards Lin Mo. Flames filled the sky behind him. This was the use of Dao fire. He wanted to let Lin Mo know what true Dao fire was. He didn¡¯t believe that a junior who hadn¡¯t reached the Nirvana Realm would be able to catch up to him in the use of Dao fire. Logically speaking, he should have crushed Lin mo easily. ¡°So what if your talent is strong? I¡¯ll let you see what a true crushing blow is.¡± Faced with this attack, Lin Mo did not dodge. His eyes were burning with excitement. He raised his hand and a vermillion bird jumped in his palm. The vermillion bird divine flame spread out and enveloped his entire body. At the same time, he unleashed the Devouring God Body¡¯s domain. The flame spread in the domain and evolved into Vermillion Bird symbols. Just as the God Devouring Body was unleashed, a suction force spread out and devoured the surrounding spiritual energy. Even some of the attacking Dao Flames were devoured. The middle-aged man was shocked. Even though he knew that Lin Mo was extraordinary, he did not expect him to be so terrifying. ¡°This is¡­ The flames of the archaic Vermillion Bird, and¡­ The God Devouring Body?¡± His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared at Lin Mo. when he saw the lifelike vermillion bird behind him, a trace of fear surged from the bottom of his heart. How could such a small place have the inheritance of an immemorial vermilion bird? Moreover, it could even give birth to a God Devouring Body¡­ ¡°This won¡¯t do. Even if I can¡¯t capture it alive, I have to kill it.¡± The middle-aged man recovered from his shock just now. He used all the Dao fire in his body to suppress Lin Mo. This was a technique that Nirvana Realm experts often used to deal with people who were weaker than them. They could win with an overwhelming advantage. Chapter 373 - Use All Your Trump Cards However, he had miscalculated this time. The God Devouring Body was too extraordinary, allowing Lin Mo to start comprehending the Dao principles a long time ago. Although it was still not comparable to the Nirvana Realm, it was still enough to resist him. In addition, what he used was the archaic divine beast Vermilion Bird¡¯s technique. Although it was incomplete, it was still one of the heaven grade martial arts. ¡°Chi!¡± The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame formed the Vermilion Bird¡¯s shadow. Numerous symbols flickered and blocked the opponent¡¯s Dao flames. The middle-aged man was shocked. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t cause any harm to Lin Mo, he made up his mind. Divine light flickered on the folding fan, causing the entire space to tremble. That folding fan was also a treasure. It was at the 9th tier of the spirit grade. A treasure of this rank wasn¡¯t something that an unaffiliated cultivator could afford. Therefore, there must be a large faction behind this person. However, it was unknown which faction it belonged to. A scorching light flashed, as if a volcano had erupted. The folding fan was like a blazing sun, suppressing the Vermilion Bird. At the same time, it wanted to completely suppress Lin Mo. This was an attack launched by a Nirvana Realm expert with a tier 9 spirit grade treasure. Under normal circumstances, even an expert of the same level would have to be on guard. Lin Mo instantly felt the pressure. A purple light flashed beneath his feet and the Qilin pattern appeared. The purple divine light blossomed, and with the support, it blocked the Dao fire. His eyes flickered as he focused on comprehending this battle. The first exchange with a Nirvana Realm expert had benefited him greatly. Hence, he didn¡¯t use the origin spirit puppet to fight at the first moment. He decided to use this person to temper himself and see how strong he was under full strength. He didn¡¯t use the Qilin steps at full strength, so he didn¡¯t reveal much of his aura. Furthermore, Lin Mo didn¡¯t intend to let the other party know about it. ¡°Rumble.¡± The flames erupted, creating a violent explosion. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame emitted a divine light, containing a wisp of purple divine light as it fiercely smashed into the middle-aged man¡¯s shoulder. In an instant, half of his body was blasted into a bloody mess, revealing his bones. As for the folding fan in his right hand, it had long been sent flying by the powerful air blast and fell not far away. ¡°The archaic Vermillion Bird¡¯s spell is actually so terrifying¡­¡± He was extremely shocked. Logically speaking, he should have won with an overwhelming advantage. Why would it be like this? Moreover, the youth in front of him was only at Tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was hard to imagine that if Lin Mo was at Tier 31 Dragon Transformation Realm, he would have been heavily injured by that attack just now. Fighting across ranks, this was a true genius¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s body moved slightly as he took the folding fan. He used the God Devouring Body¡¯s domain to restrict his opponent¡¯s combat strength. Ever since he used the Vermillion Bird technique and Qilin technique, he had no intention of letting his opponent leave. No matter what, he had to silence him. At the same time, his heart was extremely excited, and his body was trembling uncontrollably due to his excitement. Was this a martial art that was comparable to the heaven rank? It was an incomplete technique from an immemorial divine beast, and it was able to unleash such power with just a single move. This made him pleasantly surprised and excited. ¡°As expected of the Nirvana Realm. If you were even one rank lower, you will die¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual sense was sharp, and he could sense that the other party was only injured, but he still had the strength to fight. ¡°This won¡¯t do. The formation that he set up is about to be broken¡­¡± Lin Mo was taken aback once more, and he dispelled the thought of continuing the battle. The formation that this fellow had set up in the small courtyard had already started to crack after the explosion. If he were to continue fighting, the commotion he would cause would only grow larger and larger. It was highly likely that he would attract the attention of Yue Xuan¡¯s experts. Even though he trusted the person that Jiang Xiyue had chosen, he still had to take precautions. A light flashed in front of Lin Mo, and an unfamiliar figure appeared. It was a puppet wearing full-body armor. Just based on its aura, it was impossible to tell if it was a puppet or a living creature. He extended his spiritual sense, and in the next moment, the origin spirit puppet appeared with a light and absorbed his spiritual sense into its body. At this moment, he had already established a connection with the origin spirit puppet and was able to control it. Meanwhile, his body was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, not moving at all. ¡°With my current strength, the puppet can¡¯t be too far away from my physical body, and I can¡¯t fight for too long¡­¡± Lin Mo discovered some flaws. In his current state, he could at most last for a day. Once the time was up, his soul had to return, or the spiritual energy in his physical body would dissipate. ¡°Chi!¡± A sword light flashed, and the middle-aged man stood up, holding a sharp sword in his hand. He charged over, only to see an unfamiliar voice. Thinking that it was the reinforcements, he did not retreat at all and charged towards Lin Mo, who was sitting cross-legged. However, in the next moment, Lin Mo controlled the origin spirit puppet to raise its hand, and with a finger like a sword, it lightly slashed across. The middle-aged man was greatly shocked and somewhat in disbelief. A line of blood appeared between his brows, and his consciousness gradually became dim. It was just a single attack, but the speed was too fast. It was so fast that he couldn¡¯t react in time. By the time he understood what had happened, his life had already been lost. A Nirvana Realm powerhouse had died just like that. Lin Mo withdrew his spiritual sense from the original spirit puppet¡¯s body. He began to clean the battlefield and checked the relics on this person¡¯s body. He found a lot of good things. ¡°This person¡¯s identity is extraordinary. He has three 8th tier spirit grade magic tools. When did I offend such a faction?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He did not find anything related to identity on this person¡¯s body. There were only a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll deal with whatever comes my way. Who cares?¡± After racking his brains to no avail, Lin Mo had no choice but to give up. Very quickly, he cleaned up the traces of the battle in the small courtyard and removed the formation. When the formation was opened, Yue Xuan trembled and the guest elders rushed over one after another, sensing the aura of this place. ¡°Lord owner, what are you doing?¡± The servant girl who had been waiting outside the small courtyard was shocked. She had been guarding this place the entire time, so why was there such a huge change in the small courtyard? The lake water dried up, and all the buildings were destroyed, just like a volcano erupting¡­ ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I found something during my cultivation, so I stretched my limbs. Get someone to clean it up. Also, send out an invitation, and the auction will be held in three days.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and said, sending away some of the guest elders who had come to check on him. At the same time, in a restaurant across from Yue Xuan. Li Long and a few mysterious people were sitting at a table. On the table, there was a jade talisman. The Talisman was shining with spiritual light, but it shattered without any warning. Seeing this situation, Li Long suddenly sat up, his eyes filled with disbelief. He knew what this broken jade talisman meant. A Nirvana Realm powerhouse who went to capture Lin Mo had already been killed. Moreover, according to the information from Yue Xuan¡¯s spies, Lin Mo was only discovered by a few guest elders after the battle ended. Li Long¡¯s face was gloomy and he couldn¡¯t calm down at all. He stared at the broken jade talisman and couldn¡¯t say anything. The other few mysterious people also had anger on their faces. They thought that they were only capturing a junior, but they didn¡¯t expect that they would actually lose a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. This was simply unimaginable. How did Lin Mo do it? ¡°Just now, there was another piece of news. Three days later, the Yue Xuan auction house will hold an auction. I reckon that the finale will be that heavenly fire fan.¡± One of them opened his mouth. They were still clear about what their companions had. Chapter 374 - The Formation Is Activated ¡°What should we do next? Kill our comrade and auction off his treasures. This is equivalent to humiliation.¡± A middle-aged man said viciously. He couldn¡¯t sit still any longer and wanted to make a move to flatten Yue Xuan. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. Let¡¯s not talk about the fact that you can¡¯t break Yue Xuan¡¯s formation. Even if you can break it, there are true experts in the Purple Moon Palace. All of you have to stay behind.¡± Li Long stepped out to stop them, not allowing these people to step out. ¡°Then what do you think we should do? If we cooperate with you, we won¡¯t gain anything, but we¡¯ll lose one person. You have to give us an explanation.¡± One of them stared at Li Long, his gaze vicious. ¡°Let¡¯s wait. In ten days, the capital¡¯s Dao conference¡¯s primary selection will begin. At that time, it won¡¯t be too late to act,¡± Li Long said. No matter what, one had to be extremely careful when making a move in the imperial city. However, according to the information the Crown Prince received, the first selection would be held in a dangerous place. At this moment, in Yue Xuan, Lin Mo was calm and unruffled. As for the servants, they were busy organizing and purchasing the items for auction. Ever since Lin Mo¡¯s arrival, although Yue Xuan¡¯s auction had begun at irregular intervals, every time it was held, many good treasures would appear. Hence, as soon as the news of the auction was sent out, many people came forward with treasures, intending to compete for the treasures that were about to be auctioned off. Within three days, Yue Xuan was bustling with activity. What surprised Lin Mo was that ever since that day, no one had come to find trouble with him. This made him feel somewhat helpless. He still wanted to see who would reveal their identity among the people who would come later¡­ Soon, three days had passed. The expected attack still had not arrived. On the contrary, the auction was about to begin. At the entrance of Yue Xuan, the flow of people was extremely large. Quite a number of maids and guards were extremely busy as they invited the distinguished guests into Yue Xuan one by one. Only when night had completely fallen did the people participating in the auction finally complete their arrangements. Fortunately, Yue Xuan was large enough to accommodate these people. ¡°Rumble.¡± The formation was activated. Lin Mo appeared inside Yue Xuan and activated Yue Xuan¡¯s protective formation to prevent anyone from sabotaging the auction. When a spirit rank formation was activated, even a Nirvana Realm powerhouse wouldn¡¯t dare to cause trouble. This made Hui Xiang, who was leading a team of guards to maintain order, stunned for a moment. Yue Xuan¡¯s formation hadn¡¯t been activated for a long time. Why would the auctioneer activate it completely today? It wasn¡¯t just him. The guests participating in the auction had the same thoughts. They didn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo would do this. ¡­ At this moment, on the auction stage, Lin Mo walked out after activating the array formation, causing the crowd below to discuss animatedly. Many gazes turned towards Lin Mo on the stage. All of them were very curious about what kind of treasure Lin Mo would bring to them today. In the private room, the crown prince arrived early. He didn¡¯t meet Lin Mo, nor did he ask about the specific treasure being auctioned. In reality, he had come here to see the attitude of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. If there was still a chance for both sides to cooperate, he would definitely not spare any effort to rope them in. However, if they became enemies, then he could only give up on Lin Mo. The relationship that they had painstakingly built up would be shattered because of this. Right next to the crown prince¡¯s room were the people from the Divine Secrets Holy Land. It wasn¡¯t just Li Long, there were also a few mysterious people. They were dressed in black robes and had their faces covered, making it difficult for others to see who they were. They all had their own thoughts, and they were all different. Under such a strange atmosphere, Lin Mo, who was on stage, adjusted his state and spoke. ¡°Thank you all for being able to participate in tonight¡¯s auction. Tonight¡¯s auction will still be hosted by me.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly, and the auction hall instantly quieted down. Numerous pairs of eyes looked at Lin Mo, and then at the handmaidens behind him. Each of them held a silver plate and lined up, waiting for the auction to begin. Seeing the gazes directed at everyone, Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and said, ¡°There are a total of 73 auction items in this auction. Now, the auction begins. Let¡¯s invite the first treasure to appear.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a maid from behind walked up with a silver plate. The eyes of everyone below the stage were burning. Lin Mo lifted the red cloth, and a spirit pill emitting a terrifying aura appeared in front of everyone. ¡°The first item up for auction is a 3rd tier spirit grade earth terminus pill. The main ingredient is produced from a dangerous place thirty thousand miles south of the Imperial City, and contains cold earth terminus.¡± A spirit pill refined from this material had a great effect on poisons such as fire poison. In addition, fire and thunder attribute experts who cultivated to the state of Qi deviation could also consume this spirit pill to ensure their safety. However, during the process of consuming the Earth Fiend Pill, the Cold Earth Fiend would show strange movements and would probably harm the person who consumed it. Therefore, the final grade of this Earth Fiend Pill could only be set at the third level of the spirit level. In fact, its effect should be able to reach the fourth level of the spirit level. ¡°Earth Fiend Pill, there¡¯s actually such a fierce spirit pill being auctioned off.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m of the fire attribute. I must get this spirit pill, it¡¯s too useful for me.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re not the only one who wants it. Look around, there are a lot of people competing with you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The discussion continued for a while before it ended. Lin Mo dropped the hammer and said, ¡°Everyone, the starting bid for the Third Rank Spirit Rank Earth Fiend Pill is 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than 10,000.¡± Although the starting bid was 400,000, the crowd below was still excited. ¡°410,000!¡± ¡°450,000 mid-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°I bid 480,000 mid-grade spirit stones! I must buy this demonic Earth Pill!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The crowd in the main hall was extremely excited. Just the start of the auction had already made everyone extremely excited. The demonic earth pill could be used to cultivate, fight with others, or go to some dangerous places. If one accidentally went berserk during the process of cultivation, then no matter how many spirit stones were spent, it wouldn¡¯t be able to save him. The demonic earth pill could be saved. Although it was limited by the cultivation attribute, it couldn¡¯t stop everyone¡¯s enthusiasm. ¡°I offer 550,000. Let¡¯s see who else can compete with me.¡± ¡°600,000. Everyone, I am the leader of the Sky Wolf mercenary group. Please give me face and thank me.¡± ¡°A mere Sirius mercenary group is nothing. I will bid 650,000. who dares to raise the price?¡± The bidding was still hot. Lin Mo smiled and did not say anything as he watched the crowd below compete. At the same time. In the private room in front, the people from the Divine Secrets Sacred Land wanted to rush up and kill Lin Mo. . ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. Fifth brother has been killed and his treasure is still being auctioned. Do you guys still want to watch?¡± A black-robed man said angrily. How could he bear to see his companion¡¯s treasures being openly taken by Lin Mo.. This time, there were a total of five people. Fifth brother was the youngest among them. He had been killed because of carelessness. Now, they were still unable to take revenge. This feeling was truly unbearable. ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated. Can¡¯t you see that the entire Yue Xuan¡¯s grand array has been activated?¡± Li long hurriedly said. He was really afraid that these people wouldn¡¯t be able to hold themselves back and attack. Once Lin Mo caught hold of something, even if he didn¡¯t die, he would at least lose a layer of skin. This grand array might not even be broken by a fifth sky of Nirvana realm expert¡­ Chapter 375 - Auspicious Beast Egg ¡°750,000 going once.¡± ¡°750,000 going twice.¡± ¡°750,000 going three times, sold. Congratulations to this guest for successfully bidding for the spirit rank rank 3 Disha Pill.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and announced the ownership of the first item. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice slowly sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit grade tier 3 Earth Fiend Pill ] [ You have successfully triggered the 2,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the rank 5 Spirit Rank Earth Fiend Yin Pill ] As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo could feel a cold and sinister aura coming from the system space. It was even denser than the earth fiend pill. Moreover, its effects were more than ten times that of the Earth Fiend Pill. Not only was its detoxification effect even stronger, it could also resist the poison for a certain period of time. This could be said to be a rare treasure for the exploration of some danger zones, and it was of some use to him. Nodding slightly, Lin Mo continued with the next auction item. ¡°Next is the second auction item, the third level spirit rank bone forging flower.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he lifted the red cloth, revealing the small white flower on the silver plate. ¡°It¡¯s the bone forging flower. It can effectively increase the strength of a Dragon Transformation Realm powerhouse¡¯s body, and can even refine the tibia.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great! If I can eat it, I¡¯ll be able to reach tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm in no time.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. There are many people who have their eyes on this bone forging flower. You might not be able to snatch it.¡± ¡°¡­¡± This kind of treasure that could raise one¡¯s strength without any aftereffects was most popular among others. As such, the moment it appeared, it attracted the attention of countless people. Most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures would have aftereffects after consuming too much, because the strength that could be raised like this wasn¡¯t very stable. Treasures like the bone forging flower that could raise one¡¯s aptitude and allow one to cultivate and raise one¡¯s realm were the most popular. Therefore, when the bone forging flower was just displayed, these people were all extremely excited and were all waiting to bid. Even in the private room in front, those who hadn¡¯t reached tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm were somewhat surprised. The bone forging flower wasn¡¯t easy to find. Although its grade was relatively low, in the deep mountains, it was basically devoured by demonic beasts before it even bloomed. This kind of bone forging flower that had grown to maturity was extremely rare. ¡°Earth grade tier 3 bone forging flower, starting bid 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 10,000.¡± ¡°Now, the auction begins.¡± Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Lin Mo dropped his hammer. ¡°550,000.¡± ¡°570,000.¡± ¡°600,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± The bidding continued. This time, it wasn¡¯t just the people in the hall who were bidding, but also the voices from the private rooms. ¡°I bid, 700,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± A voice came from the private room at the very front, which surprised everyone, because the voice came from the second prince¡¯s private room. When these princes came to the auction house, the private rooms were fixed, and someone would specially arrange it. Thus, just as the bid was called out, everyone knew who it was. They couldn¡¯t help but raise their heads to look. An auction item of the third level of the spirit level was also worth the second prince calling out a price. ¡°Is the Jingdou Dao conference about to begin¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He remembered that Huixiang had warned him that the first selection of the Jingdou Dao Conference would begin seven days later. It seemed that the second prince couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He wanted to buy heavenly treasures to increase his cultivation. This bone-forging flower without any sequelae was undoubtedly the best choice. The bidding continued, and the second prince wasn¡¯t annoyed. Just as the crowd¡¯s shouts gradually died down, he raised his bid once more. ¡°Nine hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The price of this amount was already very high. At the very least, most of the people in the hall couldn¡¯t afford it. Even if they gritted their teeth and gathered all of it, they would still be bankrupt. It wasn¡¯t worth it. ¡°900,000 mid-tier spirit stones going once.¡± ¡°900,000 going twice.¡± ¡°Third time, sold.¡± ¡°Congratulations to His Highness, the second prince, for successfully bidding for the bone forging flower.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer, and after three times, he announced the results of the auction. The crowd sighed. It was such a pity. They didn¡¯t expect that the second prince would already bid for the second auction item. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be discouraged. Let¡¯s welcome the third item.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and waved his hand. The maid behind him walked up with a silver plate in her hand and presented it to the crowd. The red cloth was lifted and a jade plate lay on the silver plate. There was also a scroll. ¡°Spirit grade tier 2 defensive formation, Black Turtle Grand Formation. It can defend against second sky of Nirvana Realm attacks and is unbreakable. It can be set up directly with a inscribed formation plate.¡± A spirit rank formation and a formation plate could be set up directly. In an instant, the entire place fell silent as they stared at Lin Mo. A formation with a formation plate was extremely precious in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Although it was a tier 2 spirit grade, its preciousness was not inferior to a tier 3 spirit grade treasure. As long as it was set up in one¡¯s own residence or family clan, even a second sky of Nirvana realm expert would be unable to break it. ¡°Black Turtle Array, the starting price is 350,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°I bid 400,000. That¡¯s great. My mercenary group just happens to need the protection of the array. This auction is the right one.¡± ¡°450,000.¡± ¡°¡­¡± One after another, people began to bid. However, most of the people in the hesitating Imperial City lived in the city. There were troops stationed here, so there was no need to worry about safety. Therefore, those who participated in the auction were all mercenary groups stationed at the outskirts of the imperial city. They fought tooth and nail for this array formation. In the end, this black turtle array formation was taken down by the leader of the Sirius mercenary group at a price of 1,000,000. A Level 2 spirit grade array formation, however, was auctioned at a level 3, or even level 4 price¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a level 2 spirit grade defensive array ] [ Successfully triggered 800 times the auction profit ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a level 3 spirit grade defensive array, boulder array ] ¡­ The auction was in full swing. Many people were satisfied because they had obtained the treasures they wanted. Of course, most people were dejected because they did not get what they wanted. The prices were raised too high. ¡°Alright, there are only five items left. Without a doubt, these are the most precious treasures in this auction.¡± ¡°Those who haven¡¯t made their moves, you have to hurry up. If you miss this time, there won¡¯t be so many treasures in the next month¡¯s pavilion auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled and didn¡¯t beckon for the maids behind him to come in. Instead, he walked backstage and took out an egg with patterns in a corner that people couldn¡¯t see. It emitted waves of multicolored light. This was the system¡¯s reward from the auction of a demonic beast egg. This demonic beast was very powerful. It was set by the system as a spirit grade tier 7. It would have the combat strength of someone at the 31st Tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With a casual feeding, it could break through to the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, its talent and bloodline were very strong. ¡°Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting. This is a temporary auction item.¡± Lin Mo walked out and held the Demon Beast Egg with both hands. ¡°What kind of Demon Beast is this? Such a holy light. Could it be the legendary auspicious beast?¡± ¡°Such an auspicious aura, it should belong to the auspicious beast. Could it be the unicorn?¡± Chapter 376 - White Crane Egg Some people guessed that unicorns were called auspicious beasts among demon beasts. It was a symbol of good fortune. The purer the bloodline, the stronger the auspicious aura. ¡°It¡¯s an auspicious beast, but it¡¯s not a unicorn. The aura is different.¡± The voice of the tenth princess came from the private room. She had two unicorns. Their bloodline was not pure, but they were auspicious beasts. Hearing everyone¡¯s guess, she said. ¡°Hehe, the tenth princess is right. This isn¡¯t a unicorn, but a white crane. This is a white crane¡¯s egg.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about to hatch. As long as master provides a bit of spirit energy, it can be born smoothly.¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s born, it can have the combat strength of a Tier 31 practitioner in the Dragon Transformation Realm. As for rank, I¡¯ll define it as a spirit rank 7.¡± ¡°What, such a high rank.¡± Everyone was shocked. Even the unicorn beside the tenth princess was only classified as a spirit level 3 when it was young. Even so, it had now grown to the first sky of the Nirvana Realm, and the auspicious aura was very rich. This White Crane egg was classified as a spirit rank 7, it was simply unimaginable. ¡°It¡¯s indeed worth this rank, make an offer.¡± The tenth princess said in a low voice. Looking at her appearance, she was determined to obtain the White Crane Egg. ¡°Spirit rank 7 White Crane egg, starting bid, 2 million, each bid must not be lower than 100,000.¡± Lin Mo announced the start of the auction. As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone in the hall could open their mouths, the tenth princess had already shouted out her bid. ¡°5 million.¡± Silence. The entire hall fell silent. Everyone in the Hall looked bitterly at the tenth princess¡¯s private room. What was there to bid for? The tenth princess had blocked everyone¡¯s path the moment she made her bid. Five million. Even the large families in the imperial city would have to empty their entire fortune. Some powerful families might have the qualifications to bid, but they obviously would not offend the tenth princess for an egg. ¡°5.1 million.¡± Just as everyone thought that the White Crane egg was going to be bought by the tenth princess, a shout came from another private room. ¡°Who is this?¡± Everyone was stunned, including the tenth princess. Her beautiful eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. She had raised the price by three million at one go, which was basically the price of a 7th tier spirit grade treasure. Why was there still someone bidding? ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s someone from the Heavenly King¡¯s Mansion.¡± A servant girl said. Judging from the location, there should be no mistake. ¡°Heavenly King¡¯s Mansion¡­¡± The tenth princess frowned and was a little dissatisfied. The people from the Heavenly King¡¯s Mansion did not get along with her. She did not expect that they would raise the bid for her at this auction¡­ ¡°5,500,000.¡± Thinking up to this point, the tenth princess raised the bid once again. The price of 5,500,000 shocked everyone once again. ¡°5.6 million.¡± However, the Heavenly King Manor still followed closely behind. However, every time they raised their bid, they would only raise it by 100,000. This was the lowest increase set by Lin Mo. Some people were certain that they were here to cause trouble and intentionally raise the price for the tenth princess. ¡°6 million.¡± The tenth princess gritted her teeth. She did not fight for power and position and did not have much savings in her hands. This 6 million was about three-quarters of her wealth¡­ ¡°Hehe, since the tenth princess is so interested in this white crane egg, then it¡¯s not good for me to fight for it anymore. I¡¯ll just give up.¡± A soft laugh sounded, causing the tenth princess¡¯ expression to become even colder. ¡°Jin Zhong, it¡¯s this old man¡­¡± The tenth princess gritted her teeth and said. Jin Zhong was Jin Lie¡¯s father. He had sent people to ask for her mother¡¯s hand in marriage many times, wanting her to marry Jin Lie. His purpose was naturally to deepen the relationship between the Heavenly King Manor and the royal family, and at the same time, to pull her to the crown prince¡¯s side. However, this matter was also put to rest after Jin Lie was killed. ¡°Deal. Congratulations to the tenth princess for successfully auctioning the White Crane Egg. I believe that the princess will not regret it.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer. This time, he did not bid once or twice. The deal was done directly to prevent anyone from raising the price again. He had a good impression of the tenth princess and didn¡¯t consider her as an enemy. ¡°Thank you for your auspicious words, field owner Lin.¡± The tenth princess nodded and walked out of the private room. She took out a sptial bag and wanted to trade on the spot. Lin Mo accepted the Spirit Stones. After the transaction was completed, the tenth princess left with her people. Although the auction was successful, the disturbance of the Heavenly King Manor made her rather angry and unwilling to stay here. ¡°Let¡¯s invite the next item up for auction.¡± Lin Mo spoke. The White Crane Egg just now had been added to the auction and hadn¡¯t been counted in the beginning. ¡°Spirit grade tier 7 bow type magic item, exploding spirit bow.¡± The red cloth was lifted and a large azure bow lay on the silver plate. Lin Mo picked it up and showed it to everyone. He stretched out his hand and gently plucked the bowstring. A slight vibration spread out, and the surrounding spiritual energy was affected, sending out waves of ripples. ¡°This¡­ What a powerful aura.¡± ¡°Truly formidable. Where did this Lin Mo get so many treasures? This exploding spirit bow is just what I wanted.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the grade is too high. It¡¯s probably not suitable for us to compete¡­¡± Some people sighed. They all understood that at this point, the auction was no longer their business. Next, even the crown prince didn¡¯t dare to say that he could continue to take down the final treasure. After all, he had already mobilized too much of the national treasury and caused the emperor to be displeased. ¡°The starting bid for the spirit rank 7 explosive spirit bow is 2.5 million, and each increment must not be lower than 100,000. The auction begins now.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and dropped his hammer. When he announced the start of the auction, the voices of bids could be heard from the various private rooms. ¡°3 million.¡± The first to speak was the people from the Heavenly King Manor. Lin Mo was somewhat familiar with them. ¡°3.5 million.¡± Immediately after, the second prince also spoke and participated in the bidding. ¡°4 million.¡± The voices of bidding basically followed closely without any pause, causing everyone to stare with their mouths Agape. ¡°This is the seventh prince¡¯s bidding. There¡¯s no need to go all out, fighting to be the first to bid¡­¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t know what to do. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that these people were all princes or were people with authority in the imperial city, he would have thought that these people were blindly bidding. ¡°6 Million.¡± Suddenly, a bid sounded, causing the entire place to fall into silence. Some people glanced sideways and looked towards a private room. ¡°Li Long¡¯s voice. is the Divine Secrets Holy Land also participating¡­?¡± Lin Mo was a little curious. This eastern continent¡¯s strongest Holy Land actually needed such a level of treasure. At this moment, in the Divine Armament Sacred Land¡¯s private room, a few mysterious people were fiercely looking at the auction stage. One of them said to Li long, ¡°Your information was wrong, and that¡¯s why fifth brother died. It¡¯s normal for you to give an explanation.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you have to help us get back the remaining treasures. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to continue working together.¡± Another person said. They could ignore the previous ones, but they had to get the last few treasures back. ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry, my Lords.¡± Li Long¡¯s expression was as dark as water. He really wanted to break off their cooperation, but in the end, he forcefully restrained himself and didn¡¯t flare up. ¡°That¡¯s good. However, before we make our move, you have to send us Lin Mo¡¯s latest information.¡± The few mysterious people nodded. This was the final line. After all, no one was willing to die without knowing why. Chapter 377 - Li Long’s Abnormality ¡°6 million going once, is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± ¡°6 million going twice.¡± ¡°6 million going thrice, sold, congratulations to these guests for winning the exploding spirit bow.¡± Lin Mo smiled, and the auction hammer in his hand dropped down. Although he still didn¡¯t understand why Li Long would auction the exploding spirit bow. As long as it could be sold, he was willing to accept it. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off a spirit rank 7 explosive spirit bow ] [ Successful triggering of 5,000 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining a spirit rank 9 instantaneous shadow bow ] A spirit rank 9. This time, the auction had been given to a spirit rank 9. This made Lin Mo very happy. Regardless of whether it was used for combat in the future or if he directly used the God Devouring Body to devour it, this instantaneous shadow bow would be of great use. Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo waved his hand, and another maid walked over. ¡°The next item is also a spirit rank 7 item, but its rarity is comparable to a spirit rank 8 or even a spirit rank 9 item.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously, and under everyone¡¯s comments, he slowly opened the red cloth. Under the red cloth, there was an earthy yellow talisman paper that gave off an ancient aura. The moment it appeared, everyone was stunned as they stared in disbelief. ¡°Am I seeing things? That seems to be a talisman¡­¡± ¡°A spirit rank 7 talisman, this is impossible¡­¡± Some people were shocked. As everyone knew, the highest grade talisman master in the eastern continent was the grand elder of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. Even that person was only a spirit rank 6 talisman master. As for a spirit rank 7 talisman master, the success rate of refining it was probably not even 10% . ¡°Heavens, where did this Lin Mo get this talisman from? could he have dug up some ancient ruins?¡± Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Lin Mo held the talisman in his hand and slightly injected spiritual energy into it, showing it to everyone. ¡°This talisman was sent to me by an unknown expert. I don¡¯t know who this person is, so I can¡¯t answer everyone.¡± ¡°It¡¯s called the Earth Shrinking Inch Talisman. This is a talisman that has been lost in the eastern continent. No one knows how it was made.¡± ¡°As for its effects, I think I don¡¯t need to say much.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. when he cleaned up the battlefield that day and saw this talisman, he was also shocked. To be able to hold such a heaven-defying talisman, it was clear that this person had quite a background. According to his initial estimations, only the Divine Secrets Holy Land and the Hidden Ghost Sect had the qualifications to send such an expert to hunt him down. This was also the reason why he had activated the Moon Pavilion¡¯s great formation today. Being targeted by such an expert wasn¡¯t a good thing. ¡°I must take down the earth shrinking inch talisman¡­¡± In the crown prince¡¯s private room, his gaze was fixed on the talisman in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. The Spirit Rank 7 Earth Shrinking Talisman, once used, would be able to travel a thousand miles in a single step. Even a Nirvana Realm ninth sky expert who specialized in speed might not be able to catch up to it. From this, one could see how heaven-defying this talisman was. It wasn¡¯t just him. In the other private rooms, everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open as they rubbed their fists, intending to auction off the talisman. ¡°Earth Shrinking Talisman, starting bid, 5,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones, each bid must not be lower than 100,000.¡± ¡°5,500,000.¡± ¡°I bid 6,000,000.¡± ¡°7,000,000.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, the bids started to rise one after another, because the land shrinking into inch talisman was too precious. Its research value even exceeded its own value. Anyone who could use this to see how this talisman was made would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step. Even the grand elder of the Divine Secrets Holy Land would have to come. In the auction hall, everyone in the private rooms had already disregarded their status. The prices continued to rise, causing Li Long¡¯s expression to turn ugly. The price of the Earth Shrinking Talisman had already been bid by the crown prince to 10 million. Even so, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince had no intention of giving up. This talisman had an extraordinary meaning, and it was no longer the time for spirit stones to measure its value. ¡°10.1 million middle-grade spirit stones. Everyone, please give me face. Your Highness, please give me face¡­¡± Li long pushed open the door of the private room and walked out. At this point, he had no choice but to step out. If the bidding continued, he wouldn¡¯t have the money to bid for the next item. Although with his status as a disciple of the Divine Secrets Holy Land, he could prepare more spirit stones in a short period of time. However, money wasn¡¯t spent like this. The key was that the treasures he bought didn¡¯t belong to him¡­ ¡°This¡­¡± The crown prince was a little hesitant. He didn¡¯t expect Li Long to personally step out. This talisman should be auctioned for the supreme elder of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. The reason why he could sit safely on the crown prince¡¯s seat was not only because of the emperor¡¯s support, but also partly because he had a good relationship with the Divine Secrets Holy Land. If they were to fall out over a talisman, it would not be worth it. ¡°Hehe, senior brother, if you had told me earlier, you would not have spent such a high price.¡± The crown prince walked out of the private room, cupped his fists at Li Long, and said with a faint smile. ¡°It was my negligence. Thank you, junior brother.¡± Li Long cupped his fists and saluted. The other princes didn¡¯t bid either, and they weren¡¯t willing to offend the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. ¡°10.1 million, sold.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t hesitate and immediately dropped his hammer, auctioning this talisman to Li Long. He didn¡¯t care so much. In fact, he hoped that this item would be auctioned off at the lowest price. That way, he might be able to trigger a 10,000 fold rebate. That would really be a huge profit. However, things did not go as he had hoped. Th Earth Talisman was destined to trigger a bidding war, so he could not set a top price¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit level 7 land shrinking into inch talisman ] [ Successfully triggered a 2,000 fold rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit level 8Earth Shrinking talisman ] It was a rank higher than before, but the increase in speed was not just a tiny bit. Adding on to Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings, one could imagine his speed with such a boost. ¡°Next up is the third item from the bottom. It¡¯s a fire attribute cultivation technique, a spirit rank 7¡ä Li Fire Technique¡¯. It¡¯s quite extraordinary.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This cultivation technique was not bad. It was considered a top-tier item among spirit rank 7. ¡°Everyone knows that cultivation techniques are generally more expensive. Hence, the starting bid for this ¡®Li fire technique¡¯ is 4 million.¡± Just as the hammer landed, Li Long walked out from the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s private room. He looked at the auction stage and under everyone¡¯s curious gazes, he said, ¡°6 million.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Regardless of whether it was the people in the main hall or the private rooms, all of them were stunned. Why did Li Long look like he was determined to obtain it? The Divine Secrets Holy Land shouldn¡¯t lack cultivation techniques, right? After all, this wasn¡¯t a top-tier cultivation technique¡­ ¡°Six million going once, no one is bidding?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer to remind everyone. ¡°Six million going twice¡­¡± The scene was still quiet, and no one was willing to raise the price. It wasn¡¯t until the third time the auction hammer fell and the transaction was announced that the auction had been completed that the sounds of discussion started to ring out. Lin Mo was a little puzzled, but he didn¡¯t think too much about it. The second last item was presented. ¡°This is the inner core of a fire attributed demonic beast, it¡¯s from the seventh tier Nirvana Realm Scarlet Flame Lizard.¡± Chapter 378 - Competing In the Auction ¡°The inner core has been absorbed for a period of time, but 70% of its energy remains. Furthermore, it contains the pure bloodline of the Crimson Flame Lizard, and its grade is spirit rank 8.¡± Lin Mo had just finished introducing the inner core, and everyone¡¯s eyes were burning. Who knew that Li Long, who was at the front, would suddenly open his mouth and ask, ¡°What¡¯s the starting price?¡± ¡°Again?¡± Everyone was stunned. Was Li Long planning to buy out the entire place? Even if he came from the Divine Secrets Holy Land, could it be that he really wanted to offend everyone present. ¡°Hehe, everyone, give me some face. If senior brother Li Long wants it, then go ahead and auction it.¡± The crown prince also walked out and stood at the door of the private room, smiling at Li Long to greet him. Li long nodded his head gratefully. The crown prince coming out to help at such a crucial moment really touched him. ¡°There¡¯s definitely something fishy going on¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the abnormal Li Long and guessed that the other party must be hiding something. ¡°Forget it, since you want it, I¡¯ll just make a huge profit¡­¡± He chuckled lightly. The fire attribute inner core was his favorite cultivation resource, and it just so happened that it was being auctioned at a low price. ¡°Spirit rank 8 crimson flame lizard inner core. Starting bid, 1,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and set an extremely low price, just in time to see who would be unable to resist bidding. ¡°I bid 1,000,000.¡± Li long opened his mouth and looked at Lin Mo with an expressionless face, wanting to express his gratitude. However, when he thought of the reason why he was like this, it was all thanks to Lin Mo. Thinking up to this point, he stood expressionlessly at the entrance of the private room. ¡°No one is bidding?¡± Lin Mo asked with a smile, while the crown prince surveyed his surroundings with an obvious threat. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then congratulations to brother Li for auctioning off a supreme treasure at the reserve price.¡± The auction hammer descended and announced the result. It was a 1,000,000 spirit rank 8 treasure. This was definitely a huge loss. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off the spirit rank 8 crimson flame lizard inner core ] [ This auction has suffered a huge loss. The system will compensate you ] [ 30,000 times the auction¡¯s profit has been successfully triggered ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the Earth grade level 3 crimson flame dragon lizard¡¯s complete inner core ] An earth grade treasure, such a level of inner core, did not exist in the entire eastern continent. This was because only demon beasts on the immortal ascension platform could breed it. ¡°Looks like I can go into seclusion again.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Not to mention the heavenly materials and earthly treasures and spiritual artifacts that would return profits from this auction, just the spirit stones alone would be enough for him to go into seclusion once. Now, with this inner core, he would definitely be able to advance another level before the start of the preliminaries. ¡°Alright, next up is the finale of this auction. It¡¯s also the treasure that everyone is looking forward to the most.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and the female attendant walked forward. The silver plate in her hand was bigger than the others. Before the red cloth was removed, waves of rich spiritual energy undulations spread out. Everyone¡¯s eyes were glued to Lin Mo as they waited for him to reveal the treasure. In the next moment, flames blossomed and a thick flame spread out. If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Mo blocking the way, the entire auction stage would have been burnt to ashes. Four balls of light appeared in his hand. It was extremely mysterious. ¡°Everyone, these final items will be auctioned off at the same time. Because of their similarities, they were placed together.¡± After the light dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was a folding fan, a battle armor, a pearl, and a dagger. ¡°Fire God Fan, Spirit Rank 9, contains a wisp of fire path law. At critical moments, it can erupt with power that surpasses its own.¡± ¡°Li fire armor, rank 8 spirit rank. Defensive type armor, able to resist water and fire, immune to large amounts of damage.¡± ¡°Fire repelling pearl, rank 8 spirit rank. With the fire repelling pearl, one can even go deep into the volcano and travel underground in search of opportunities.¡± ¡°As for the last one, it¡¯s also rank 8 spirit rank. The Heaven Fire Dagger can be used for assassinations. It can be used silently, with extreme fire attacks.¡± Lin Mo gave a rough introduction. This was the treasure that the middle-aged man had. He didn¡¯t like Lin Mo at the start, he only used the fire god fan. He didn¡¯t think that Lin Mo would be able to kill him with a single move from the origin spirit puppet. ¡°The final item this time is actually such a treasure¡­¡± ¡°Friends from the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, please atone for your sins. This final item can not be given away.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How can I give up this final treasure?¡± Some people spoke up, not wanting to miss out on this treasure. Especially among these people, there were fire attribute experts. It was even more impossible for them to give it up. This was a supreme treasure. It could even be said that as long as one obtained this magic tool, even if it was someone with ordinary combat strength, they would be able to fight against those on the Board of Fame. From this, it could be seen that this set of spiritual artifacts could increase one¡¯s combat strength. Even a Nirvana Realm cultivator wouldn¡¯t be able to resist the attraction of these spiritual artifacts¡­ ¡°Field owner Lin, don¡¯t introduce it anymore. Hurry up and tell me the starting price.¡± Someone was already urging him. ¡°Alright, the starting price is ten million. If the spiritual stones aren¡¯t enough, I can buy the treasures on the spot and buy them at the market price.¡± Lin Mo said. He already had some guesses in his heart. He wanted to verify if his guess was correct. This was because Li Long¡¯s abnormal behavior meant that the assassin that day was sent by him. Now that he had monopolized the auction, he only wanted to find the treasures of the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we can¡¯t make a move here.¡± Lin Mo sighed. Even if he confirmed that Li Long was the mastermind behind this, he couldn¡¯t take revenge¡­ ¡°Forget it, we¡¯ll talk about it later.¡± With this thought in mind, Lin Mo quietly watched the crowd bid. He was willing to accept these people using treasures to replace spirit stones because he wanted to give Li Long some pressure. He wanted to see how much Li Long was willing to pay. ¡°15 million. Since everyone isn¡¯t willing to let it go, then let¡¯s see what the real deal is.¡± Li long opened his mouth. With one bid, he instantly eliminated most of the people. In the hands of these people, taking out 10 million would cost half their lives. 15 million might not even be enough even if they went bankrupt. ¡°16 million.¡± The second prince walked out. He wasn¡¯t willing to give up. It just so happened that the first selection of the Jingdou Dao conference was about to begin. If he didn¡¯t seize this good opportunity to increase his strength, he might not be able to advance¡­ ¡°17 million, such a precious treasure, we can¡¯t miss it.¡± The seventh prince also came. At this point in the auction, everyone¡¯s eyes were red with envy. ¡°20 million.¡± The crown prince also made a bid. In less than a minute, this set of magic tools had already been raised to 20 million. Even so, the transaction was still a loss. This was because just the Fire God Fan alone could be sold for 20 million. It contained a strand of rules, and that was the most precious. ¡°23 million.¡± Li Long continued to bid. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Mo with killing intent in his eyes. He knew that he would definitely be punished when he returned after bidding for a set of spiritual artifacts. Even if it was the Divine Secrets Holy Land, it would still be a bit of an economic upheaval for them to move so many treasures at once and give them away. ¡°25 million.¡± The second prince continued to speak. At this moment, the fourth Prince and the seventh prince had already given up and did not want to participate. ¡°Second brother, it seems that you don¡¯t have that many spirit stones. Recklessly bidding will damage the prestige of the royal family,¡± The crown prince said in a low voice. Chapter 379 - Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land Hearing this, the second prince smiled and cupped his fists in salute. He said, ¡°Your Highness, you are exaggerating. I have a treasure that can be exchanged for a lot of spiritual stones. I will hand it over to brother Lin Mo. .¡± ¡°Your Highness, can you lend me some spiritual stones? I will definitely repay you in the future.¡±Li Long said with a cold face. The Nirvana realm experts in the private room behind him had already said that they must take them down. Otherwise, their cooperation would end here. Moreover, they also wanted to sever their cooperation with the Divine Secrets Holy Land. This result was not what he wanted to see. ¡°Senior brother, what are you saying? Since you want these spiritual artifacts, I will bid for them for you. I don¡¯t have enough spiritual stones. I will have to trouble senior brother to add some more.¡± The crown prince smiled faintly. No matter what, he was going to owe li long this favor. As he spoke, he spoke again, ¡°Thirty million. Second Brother, how many spiritual stones can your treasure exchange for?¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze immediately shifted to the second Prince¡¯s face. Such a price didn¡¯t seem to be comparable to these four spiritual artifacts. However, they were already out of money. Even the crown prince didn¡¯t have that much money. To be able to bid thirty million, he was probably at his limit. ¡°Your Highness Crown Prince, please forgive us. The auction house is a fair place. I¡¯ll bid thirty-five million.¡± The second prince gritted his teeth and bid again, unwilling to miss out. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± At this moment, Li Long stood out and stopped the two of them from continuing to bid. ¡°Brother Li, what do you want?¡±Lin Mo asked indifferently. He was certain that the assassination that day was definitely related to Li long. ¡°Second Prince, Your Highness, I doubt that you can really take out 35 million mid-grade spirit stones. Please prove it. Otherwise, I suspect that you¡¯re making a reckless bid.¡± His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but there was a chill in it that made people not dare to look over. Even the second prince frowned at this moment. He understood that after this matter, this disciple of the divine secrets sacred land could be considered to be completely hostile to him. However, on second thought, since this person had a close relationship with the crown prince, there was no harm in offending him. ¡°This is simple. Fourth and seventh, give me the spirit stones in your hands,¡±the second prince said in a deep voice. These words shocked the crown prince and Li Long. However, in the next moment, the fourth and seventh princes actually stood up and threw the two heaven and earth bags to the second prince. ¡°You¡­ you guys¡­¡± Li Long was so angry that he could not speak. weren¡¯t these three princes enemies? Usually, no one could stand each other. Why would they join forces today and be so decisive¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve proved it. Now, I want to change the price. 40 million. I wonder who else can offer a higher price?¡±The second prince gritted his teeth and said. He had paid a considerable price for these spirit stones. However, it was all worth it to be able to obtain this magic tool. As long as he passed the preliminary selection, the Emperor would still favor the crown prince, but he would still pay attention to him. ¡°Junior brother¡­¡± Li Long said with a bitter smile. He looked at the crown prince, but saw the crown prince shake his head slightly, indicating that he had done his best. ¡°Field owner Lin, aren¡¯t you going to announce the results?¡±The second prince snorted coldly. Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled helplessly. He was still thinking of selling at a loss, but this was great¡­ ¡°I brushed past four Earth rank magic tools¡­¡± Lin Mo curled his lips and was about to drop the hammer. ¡°Wait a moment¡­¡± Just as he was about to drop, an extremely gentle voice sounded out. At the very front of the auction stage, space suddenly rippled. A crack appeared. A white dress was as white as snow, and long hair was hanging down. It was simply tied up by a light purple ribbon. This person was like a fairy in the sky. However, his face was covered by a veil, and one could only see his blurry face. On his slim waist, there was a jade pendant with four powerful ancient characters engraved on it. Holy Land of Divine Secrets! ¡°Which senior is this? Among the famous Nirvana realm experts in the imperial city, I¡¯ve never seen this person before¡­¡± ¡°What senior? This person¡¯s voice is lively, and his life force is majestic. He¡¯s obviously a junior¡­¡± ¡°A junior can have the strength of the Nirvana Stage?¡± After the crowd exclaimed, they discussed animatedly. They traveled through space without using any talismans. This was the symbol of the Nirvana stage. However, this person was very unfamiliar. No one present could recognize him. ¡°Greetings, Saintess.¡± The next moment, Li Long reacted. He looked at this woman and directly knelt down, saying respectfully. ¡°Saintess, she is the Saintess of the Divine Secrets Holy Land.¡± ¡°Oh my God, the Saintess actually came personally¡­¡± The atmosphere was instantly ignited. Everyone looked at the woman in the white dress in the air. She was the Saintess of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. She was publicly recognized as the strongest genius in the entire eastern continent. She was only 20 years old, and she had entered the Nirvana stage from the Dragon Transformation Realm Level 31. This kind of speed was not inferior even in other continents. ¡°Field owner Lin, I¡¯m a little late. I wonder if I can participate in the auction?¡±The Saintess of the Holy Land of Shenji asked. She had been observing for a long time outside. Seeing that Li long could not handle it, she could only step in. ¡°The SAINTESS said that it was inevitable that someone would come late to the auction. How could I reject the guests?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and raised the auction hammer that was about to drop. ¡°His Highness the second prince has bid 40 million. Is there anyone who is willing to bid higher?¡± Hearing this, the Saintess of the Divine Secrets Holy Land took a step forward and said, ¡°45 million. There shouldn¡¯t be anyone who can bid higher¡­¡± She looked at the second prince. She had already sensed the universe bag that the seventh Prince and the fourth prince had thrown out earlier. 40 million was already the second prince¡¯s limit. ¡°The SAINTESS is already here. How can we fight over it¡­¡± The second prince had a helpless expression on his face. Even if he increased the price, he would not be a match for the SAINTESS. Instead of doing so, he might as well give up. ¡°Deal. Congratulations to the Saintess of the Divine Secrets Holy Land for successfully obtaining the auction item.¡± This time around, Lin Mo was finally able to drop the auction hammer and announce the end of the auction. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank rank 9 divine flame fan ] [ you have successfully triggered the 3000 fold return on the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the half-step Earth rank divine flame fan ] [ ¡­ ] [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 8 divine flame armor ] [ you have successfully triggered the 3000 fold return on the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Spirit Rank 9 divine flame armor ] [ ¡­ ] The return on the four treasures was 3000 fold. After all, he had not lost anything. Who would have thought that the second prince would be able to raise so many spirit stones in the end? Even the Holy Maiden of the Divine Armament Holy Land had come in the end. However, Lin Mo was still very satisfied with these treasures. The sky fire armor and the blazing fire spirit fan could be given to Jiang Xiyue to use. Although her weapon was not a fan, it would still be able to unleash greater power when used against powerful enemies. On the other hand, the sky fire armor could be given to Lil¡¯ Die to protect herself. When the time came, she could bring it with her. ¡°Field owner Lin, I have some matters to discuss with you.¡± At this moment, the Saintess turned her head to look at Lin Mo. After taking the magic tools, she handed them over to Li Long. Looking at Lin Mo, who was about to leave, she sent out an invitation. For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Mo in shock. Their gazes were as if they wanted to rush up and eat Lin Mo. Chapter 380 - Saintess Xia You’s invitation That was the Saintess of the Divine Secrest Sacred Land. Even the crown prince had once held a banquet to invite the Saintess of the Sacred Land of divine secrets. However, in the end, he didn¡¯t even get to see the Saintess and ended things hastily. ¡°Why did the Saintess invite me?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. was she planning to settle the score with him? Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo even had the urge to use Yue Xuan¡¯s formation to suppress her. However, he could only think about it. If he really made a move, then he reckoned that there would be no place for him in the entire Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. The fury of the Divine Secrets Holy Land wasn¡¯t something that anyone could endure. ¡°What are you thinking about, brother Lin? I don¡¯t have any ill intentions. I just want to resolve some misunderstandings with you.¡± Suddenly, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land looked at Lin Mo and a soft voice entered Lin Mo¡¯s ears. ¡°Although Yue Xuan¡¯s great formation is powerful, it¡¯s not invincible. Brother Lin, you shouldn¡¯t rely too much on it.¡± These two sentences instantly made Lin Mo break out in cold sweat. He was shocked. ¡°Can she know what I¡¯m thinking, or can she sense danger from my premonition?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He looked at the Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land and said, ¡°How can I refuse the Holy Maiden¡¯s invitation? This way please, Holy Maiden.¡± He turned around and left. Ignoring everyone¡¯s gazes, he followed the Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land and arrived at Yue Xuan¡¯s guest hall. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ve offended you greatly regarding Zhao Ming¡¯s matter.¡± The Holy Maiden of the Divine Secrets Holy Land opened her mouth as soon as she entered. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything else. It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. If it was just small talk, then there was no need to say anything else. ¡°My name is Xia You. I¡¯m the current Saintess of the Sacred Land of divine secrets and the next sacred Lord.¡± The veil fell off and Lin Mo saw a beautiful face. She was worthy of being called a Saintess. She was as ethereal as an immortal and her clothes were untainted by dust. Lin Mo was a little stunned when he saw this scene. He sighed in his heart and looked away. ¡°Saintess Xia You, why are you looking for me?¡± He asked. ¡°Do you want to know what the so-called great chaos in the eastern continent is?¡± Saintess Xia You opened her mouth and gestured for Lin Mo to sit down and slowly discuss. ¡°If I want to know, what do I have to pay?¡± Lin Mo asked. Although he was very curious, he still held back. ¡°In the near future, the eastern continent will be unified. Although that is a prophecy, it is also a certainty.¡± Saintess Xia you opened her mouth and said a shocking piece of news. This piece of news shocked Lin Mo greatly. He abruptly raised his head and stared at her. The eastern continent, unified. How could this be possible? Even if it was the four great divine empires and the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, there were still so many itinerant cultivators. Did she say that they could be unified just by unifying them? ¡°Why?¡± Lin Mo asked, humbly asking for advice. ¡°It has something to do with the Immortal Ascension platform. Such an expert will appear in the eastern continent. At that time, the entire continent will be unified. Such an expert isn¡¯t someone even a Nirvana Realm cultivator can contend against.¡± Saintess Xia You spoke. ¡°In the path of cultivation, the foundation establishment stage is divided into nine levels. This is the foundation of everything. We can not be careless.¡± ¡°After that, the Spirit Gathering Realm, the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Nirvana Realm. This is the sublimation of the cultivation realm from the physical body to the soul.¡± ¡°When the Nirvana Realm is completed, that is the process of the soul becoming immortal. After that, the immortal ascension platform will appear.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the immortal ascension platform is also divided into stages. In other continents, the first level is known as the Half-step Supreme Expert, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and earth.¡± As she spoke, her eyes flashed with yearning. This was the cultivation realm that cultivators spent their entire lives searching for. Only those at that level would have the qualifications to roam the void, traversing through the chaotic currents of space and arriving at the eastern continent. ¡°The so-called great chaos is also an opportunity. The ancient prophecy predicted that there would be a genius from the eastern continent who would overcome all obstacles and ascend to the immortal realm, opening up a path to the other continents.¡± Saintess Xia You was very frank and told him the news that she was in control of. However, it was unknown whether she had finished or not. ¡°The path of cultivation has always been bumpy. It¡¯s easier said than done to ascend to immortality. Why would a prophecy give birth to such a genius for no reason?¡± Lin Mo asked. There was no such thing as a free meal in this world. Everything came with a price. The prophecy said that there would be immortal-foundation experts in this era. However, could the future be predicted? ¡°The future is unpredictable. To be more precise, it¡¯s impossible to predict accurately.¡± Holy Maiden Xia You explained, ¡°For example, in the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty, the succession of the emperor¡¯s throne is inevitable. Hence, it can be predicted that someone will inherit the throne in the future. But as for who exactly will inherit the throne, it¡¯s impossible to predict.¡± ¡°For example, it can be predicted that the Yanhuang Divine dynasty will be destroyed, but it¡¯s impossible to predict who will be the one to replace it¡­¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the same as not saying anything? The throne will definitely change and the dynasty will not last forever. All of this will happen sooner or later.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not what you think.¡± Saintess Xia You shook her head. ¡°The ancient prophecy states that the great chaos will give birth to immortal-foundation ascendants. The reason for the great chaos is that everyone wants to wait for immortal-foundation ascendants. Hence, when war breaks out, there will always be someone who stands out.¡± ¡°That prophecy might seem useless, but it has a certain effect. The relationship between cause and effect is very complicated. Who can say for sure?¡± She shook her head helplessly. For such a thing, even if she was able to calculate it, she probably couldn¡¯t say it out loud. Once the secret of the heavens was revealed, something extraordinary would definitely happen. In fact, even if she didn¡¯t say it out loud, just by calculating it out loud, she would suffer the wrath of the heavens. In the end, it was very likely that she would be annihilated along with her own power. ¡°Holy Maiden, what about you? Do you want to be the person who ascends to the Immortal foundation?¡± Lin Mo suddenly asked. After saying so much, what exactly was Holy Maiden Xia you thinking about? However, to Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, Holy Maiden Xia you directly nodded. She calmly replied, ¡°Of course, I want to. Ascending to the Immortal foundation, becoming the first person to ascend to the immortal foundation in the eastern continent since the ancient times. Who wouldn¡¯t want to do so?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not as holy as you guys think. I also want to fight. Cultivators are like this, fighting with people, fighting with the heavens, right?¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded his head. He agreed with this statement. Cultivation was a game of chess with the heavens. However, could cultivators really win? ¡°Then what is the Saintess trying to say by telling me all this?¡±Lin Mo asked again. This was the most crucial question, and also the reason why Saintess Xia You found herself. ¡°You and Jiang Xiyue will join my side. I will help her sit on the throne while you and Jiang Xiyue will help me ascend to the immortal-foundation realm.¡± ¡°After I open the passageway to the other continents, I can bring you guys away. In the other continents, there will be more resources. At that time, you guys can also ascend to the immortal-foundation realm.¡± Saintess Xia You¡¯s goal was to rope Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue in. However, what surprised Lin Mo was why she wanted to rope him in. In comparison, the crown prince seemed to have more advantages. Or could it be that Saintess Xia You used some method to find out that Jiang Xiyue was refining the true dragon¡¯s blood¡­ ¡°Your mind is unsettled. What are you thinking about?¡± Saintess Xia you looked at Lin Mo and asked softly. ¡°I can calculate some secrets. You and Jiang Xiyue¡¯s talent surprised me. They are even stronger than the crown prince. This is the reason why I gave up on the crown prince looking for you,¡± Saintess Xia you said. ¡°Can you tell me more? Maybe I can consider it,¡± Lin Mo said. Chapter 381 - Plan Before You Act ¡°There¡¯s a reason why there are no immortal-foundation ascendants in the eastern continent and why the other continents aren¡¯t willing to set foot here.¡± Saintess Xia You finally spoke. She stood up and stared out the window, staring into the distance. ¡°The eastern continent¡­ Is missing something¡­¡± Speaking up to this point, Saintess Xia you left. She didn¡¯t say anything more. However, these words still shocked Lin Mo. he had received too much news, and it was shocking. Was it really that difficult to ascend to the Immortal Foundation? What was missing in the eastern continent¡­ ¡°Looks like I have to find an opportunity to ask Bai Luo.¡± Although Lin Mo was curious, he couldn¡¯t do anything. Bai Luo wasn¡¯t from the eastern continent, she must know something. ¡°We¡¯re friends, I believe her¡­¡± With this thought in mind, Lin Mo summoned Tang Chen and returned Yue Xuan to the Purple Moon Palace. He then went to look for Lin Die and Yan Rong. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Brother.¡± Lin Die was very happy because Lin Mo was finally willing to visit her. Her small hands clung tightly to Lin Mo¡¯s thigh and refused to let go. ¡°Eh, it¡¯s been a while. Yan Rong, you¡¯re at tier 27 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. Yan Rong had an errand in the Purple Moon Palace, but it was usually very priority, and he had a lot of time to cultivate. ¡°Master, please forgive me. Let¡¯s look at miss. Her improvement is even greater.¡± Yan Rong smiled. Before Lin Mo came, he had been serving as Lin Die¡¯s sparring partner. However, he did not dare to let his guard down as a sparring partner. Although he had benefited from it and had also cultivated the Taiyu spirit nurturing art, his battle prowess had also soared under rapid improvement. However, Lin Die still relied on the powerful physique of an innate precious beast and the incomplete technique of an immemorial divine beast to cross seven ranks to fight with him with the strength of a tier 20 practitioner in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even under such a huge gap, Lin Die still did not lose much. In the end, even when the two of them ran out of spiritual essence, Yan Rong was still unable to defeat Lin Die. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m very powerful,¡± Lin Die said with a smug look on her face. She raised her little fist and grinned. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, you¡¯re great. It just so happens that I have a lot of resources here. Yan Rong, you have a share too.¡±Lin Mo nodded with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s no need, master. I have my own territory in the Purple Moon Palace and have planted a lot of spiritual herbs. There are a few spirit grade ones, which are enough for me to use.¡± Yan Rong waved his hand and refused. He was Lin Mo¡¯s subordinate. Jiang Xiyue did not mistreat him and gave him a lot of benefits. Just the territory that only a Nirvana Realm warrior could occupy alone was enough to make many people envious. ¡°Why are you being so polite with me? Oh right, this is a spiritual sword of the 7th tier, spirit grade. I¡¯m saving it for you.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and took out all the treasures from the system space. A dazzling array of treasures filled the square where the two of them had just fought, causing the place to be filled with treasure lights. ¡°Wow, so many spirit stones, and they¡¯re all middle-grade¡­¡± Lin Die¡¯s large eyes sparkled with little stars. She cried out loudly as she surrounded the mountain of spirit stones and said excitedly, ¡°This is almost 100 million middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± ¡°100 million¡­ I don¡¯t think so, but 80 to 90 million is about right.¡± Lin Mo scratched his head. Almost half of these were produced by Saintess Xia You¡­ ¡°Yan Rong, take these and cultivate well. No matter what, remember that stability is the most important thing.¡± Lin Mo instructed Yan Rong to take some cultivation resources and even selected a few sword techniques for him. ¡°Yes, thank you, Master.¡± Yan Rong was extremely grateful. He held a pile of scrolls in his hands. They were all sword techniques and were very precious. ¡°Are you¡­ wiping out some major faction in the Imperial City?¡± Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Lin Mo. it was somewhat shocked. ¡°Sister Xiyue.¡± ¡°Your Highness.¡± Lin Die saw who it was and jogged over happily. Jiang Xiyue also took the opportunity to pick up Lin Die and fiercely rubbed her pink little face. ¡°You¡¯re finally out of seclusion.¡± A gentle smile appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face when he saw who it was. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m out of seclusion. You¡¯ve given me so many surprises¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue put Lin Die down and walked over to hold Lin Mo¡¯s hand. She used a little strength. Feeling the warmth from Lin Mo¡¯s palm, Lin Mo tightened his grip and pulled Jiang Xiyue towards him. ¡°Don¡¯t be a bad child.¡± Jiang Xiyue glared at Lin Mo and stood side by side with him. ¡°What? I¡¯m not a child.¡±Lin Die was unhappy and protested unhappily. ¡°You little brat, you¡¯re not even one meter tall. If you¡¯re not a child, then what are you?¡± Lin Mo squatted down and rubbed Lin Die¡¯s head hard, turning her beautiful hair into a bird¡¯s nest. ¡°You guys¡­ Are too much. You¡¯re working together to bully me.¡± Lin Die still wanted to resist, but Jiang Xiyue, who had joined later on, grabbed her and pinched her pink little face. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m ignoring you guys.¡± After struggling to break free, Lin Die combed her hair with her hands, pouted, and ran to the other side to look for Yan Rong. ¡°Come and tell me what happened recently. You¡¯ve been in seclusion for a long time, and you almost missed the preliminaries.¡± After Lin Die ran to the side, Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo tidied up the spirit stones and resources while asking. ¡°Too many things have happened. It just so happens that I need your help.¡± While tidying up the resources, Lin Mo opened his mouth and spoke about the recent events, including the lesson he taught Zhao Ming, the roping in of the Saintess Xia you, and the news that the Blood Soul Flame was spying on Xiaodie. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at Lin Mo and wanted to dig out his guts to see how he dared to offend the people of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. ¡°But why do you want to be on good terms with the Crown Prince?¡± She didn¡¯t understand this point. Lin Mo had gotten quite a lot of good things for the crown prince. He even wanted to sell the broken nirvana fire stone to the crown prince. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I have a treasure basin. It¡¯s hard to explain. Just trust me.¡±Lin Mo was helpless. Jiang Xiyue wouldn¡¯t believe him even if he told her about the system matter¡­ ¡°Alright, then how are you going to deal with Saintess Xiyou and the Blood Soul Flame?¡± Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t pester him. Instead, she asked Lin Mo what he was going to do next. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you. Do you want to stand on your own side or join Saintess Xiyou? I¡¯ll follow you,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Normally, he could help Jiang Xiyue make a decision if she disappeared. However, Jiang Xiyue still had to come to such a big event. He only needed to follow her. ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. There¡¯s no rush. I won¡¯t agree or refuse,¡± Jiang Xiyue said after thinking for a moment. Saintess Xiyou couldn¡¯t be offended, but she had created the army because she wanted to rebel when the crown prince inherited the throne. She did not want to live under someone else¡¯s roof. This was the reason why she created the army. ¡°Continue. Blood Soul Flame, how are you going to solve it?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked again. ¡°We can¡¯t rush that. The ten-thousand-year-old earth milk was not taken seriously by it. It can be seen how powerful the Blood Soul Flame is. The truth is to plan before you act¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He would not go to the crack where the Blood Soul Flame was before he became powerful. At the very least, he had to find Bai Luo first. Only by working together would he have a chance of winning. ¡°Also, can you send someone you can trust to help me find a person called Bai Luo? The Blood Soul Flame has to consult her first¡­¡± Chapter 382 - Breakthrough In Seclusion ¡°It¡¯s that girl you met in ancient flame city, is she really that capable enough to deal with the Blood Soul Flame?¡± Jiang Xiyue looked doubtful. It was not that she did not want to believe Lin Mo¡¯s judgment. It was just that it was unbelievable. The Blood Soul Flame did not even care about the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. Could Bai Luo really deal with it? ¡°She doesn¡¯t belong to the eastern continent. She knows a lot and has many trump cards. It¡¯s not wrong to look for her.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had nothing to hide from Jiang Xiyue. ¡°She¡¯s from another continent!¡± These words shocked Jiang Xiyue. To travel through the void for a long distance, one had to ascend to the Immortal Foundation. Bai Luo clearly didn¡¯t have the strength to do so. How did she get here? ¡°Her clan should be filled with experts. She must have been sent here by an Elder,¡± Lin Mo guessed. This was probably the only reason. ¡°It¡¯s possible. Just send an elder over. However, where is Bai Luo?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. ¡°The Great Ancient Divine Empire and the Lujin divine dynasty might have something. I don¡¯t know either. I need to find out more information¡­¡± Lin Mo felt ashamed. Bai Luo had said that she had traveled all over the world. She might even have returned to the Yanhuang Divine Empire now. ¡°Be more reliable¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes. This was too wide. How long would it take to find her¡­ ¡°With this, I can roughly sense Bai Luo¡¯s direction¡­¡± Lin Mo took out a jade pendant. It was given to him by the saintess Qing Xi. It had Bai Luo¡¯s aura on it. If they were in a divine dynasty, they might be able to sense the location¡­ ¡°Alright, but your information is too little. We can only wait.¡± After putting away the jade pendant, the two of them had almost gathered all of these treasures. In total, there were more than 93 million middle-grade spirit stones. Jiang Xiyue had taken 70 million to cultivate her army. As for cultivation resources, other than a few special ones that were left behind, most of the rest were taken by Lin Mo. The God Devouring Body didn¡¯t reject anything. After devouring these treasures, Lin Mo¡¯s aura began to rise. Gradually, a powerful aura spread out, and his realm also slowly rose. Jiang Xiyue quietly sat cross-legged in the distance, observing Lin Mo and protecting him. ¡°The God Devouring Body. No wonder he could destroy my cultivation land. It¡¯s just that¡­ The Dragon Transformation Realm requires so many resources¡­¡± She was a little worried that Lin Mo¡¯s path of advancement in the future would be incomparably difficult. He needed too many heavenly and earthly treasures. Perhaps, the eastern continent had to gather all the resources in order for Lin Mo to break through to the peak of the Nirvana Realm¡­ As for the Immortal Ascension platform, that was even more impossible. The amount of resources needed would increase exponentially unless they dug up the treasures left behind by the eastern continent in the ancient times. However, that was too unrealistic. Perhaps this was the reason why Lin Mo was so casual. He couldn¡¯t ascend to the Immortal Ascension platform, so he could only go to other continents¡­ Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyes gradually became firm. She clenched her fists tightly and made up her mind. ¡°No matter what, I must let you go to other continents¡­¡± Perhaps in the past, she wasn¡¯t qualified to say such things. But now that she had refined the True Dragon¡¯s Heart blood and the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk that Lin Mo had brought over. She was just one step away from reaching the Nirvana Realm. In terms of talent, she wasn¡¯t much weaker than Saintess Xia You. She also had the right to participate in the Immortal Ascension Stage. ¡°I won¡¯t let you stop.¡± Lin Mo continued to cultivate. After swallowing so many treasures, his aura started to decrease as soon as it started to increase. His energy was insufficient, so Lin Mo quickly took out all the spirit stones and piled them up into a small mountain beside him. Countless waves of pure spiritual energy surged and finally flowed into Lin Mo¡¯s Dantian. The pile of Spirit Stones was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, they couldn¡¯t hold on any longer and completely turned into ashes. ¡°Does he need so many?¡± Jiang Xiyue was shocked. In less than an hour, Lin Mo had already devoured 20 million middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°Sister Xiyue, brother is so scary¡­¡± Lin die and Yan Rong walked over, but the former jumped into Jiang Xiyue¡¯s arms in fear. She was a rare innate beast, so she was very sensitive to danger. A dangerous aura emanated from Lin Mo¡¯s body. If he got too close, his life force would be devoured. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong. Die, take out the Red Flame Dragon Lizard¡¯s inner core from your hand.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. Lin Mo¡¯s current situation was similar to the lack of spiritual essence during the breakthrough process. If this continued, the breakthrough would fail at worst, and the spiritual essence that he had swallowed would dissipate. At worst, the spiritual essence would reverse, and he would go crazy. ¡°Here it is. Sister Xiyue, quickly go and help brother.¡± Lin Die took out a red inner core. The fist-sized inner core, which was emitting special patterns, had just appeared when a dragon¡¯s roar sounded in the air. The inner core of the Scarlet Flame Dragon Lizard had a hint of spirituality. It didn¡¯t want to be swallowed, so it tried to run away as soon as it appeared. However, in the next moment, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and a faint dragon¡¯s roar could be heard from her body. ¡°Roar¡­¡± The inner core of the scarlet flame dragon lizard seemed to have let out a howl. It trembled slightly in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hands and didn¡¯t dare to resist. ¡°Yan Rong, take Die away.¡± Jiang Xiyue picked Xiaodie up from her arms, put her down, and walked forward with the inner core. After advancing for a short while, she felt heavy footsteps. Especially the spiritual energy in her Dantian, which seemed to be on the verge of breaking out of her body. ¡°With your cultivation method, who would dare to protect you in the future¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue gritted her teeth and said. She held the Red Flame Lizard¡¯s inner core and slightly activated it, releasing waves of pure energy. In an instant, this energy was torn and directly entered Lin Mo¡¯s Dantian. Seeing that it was effective, Jiang Xiyue let out a sigh of relief. The true dragon power protected her body, preventing her spiritual Qi from being devoured by the God Devouring Body. She walked to Lin Mo¡¯s side and urged the inner core of the Red Flame Dragon Lizard to release the energy. As soon as this energy appeared, the God Devouring Body absorbed it and didn¡¯t let it go. A suction force was emitted from the square. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within hundreds of miles was drawn into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Time continued to pass while Lin Mo was in seclusion. When seven days had passed, the Red Flame Dragon Lizard¡¯s inner core in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand had dried up and turned into powder. However, what made her breathe out was that Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body finally stopped operating. The moment Lin Mo opened his eyes, a powerful aura spread out. Yan Rong and Lin Die, who were hundreds of miles away, sensed this aura and rushed over one after another. ¡°Congratulations, master, for breaking through to the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm.¡± As Yan Rong said that, Lin Die hopped over and looked at Lin Mo with concern. ¡°Brother, are you alright?¡± She did not understand what the God Devouring Body was. She only knew that Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation these few days was terrifying. That power that could devour everything was too overbearing. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Mo patted Lin Die¡¯s little head, but he still felt a little regretful. ¡°It¡¯s a pity. I thought I would have one red flame dragon lizard inner core left¡­¡± With that inner core, it would be enough for Lin Die to cultivate to the 31st tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, it was a pity that Lin Mo had swallowed the inner core. He could only find another fire attribute cultivation treasure for Lin Die in the future. Chapter 383 - The Preliminaries Begin ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this for now. There are still three hours before the capital¡¯s Dao Conference preliminaries. It¡¯ll be too late if we don¡¯t go now.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. This guy really knew how to get stuck. If they were any slower, they would be late. ¡°Uh¡­ Sorry, sorry.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not dare to delay. The few of them activated the teleportation array together and teleported to Yue Xuan. Following that, they hurriedly left the city. Along the way, there were still quite a few people who were rushing toward the depths of the forest. These people were either participating in the competition or watching the battle. Without exception, they were all here for the preliminaries. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the competition for the preliminaries?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. For these preliminaries, the second prince, seventh Prince, and fourth Prince were doing their best to prepare their magic artifacts to face it. ¡°After passing through a dangerous land, you can¡¯t use a teleportation talisman. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be eliminated.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. This was the news she had received after she came out of seclusion. Other than using a teleportation talisman, any method was fine. This was also the reason why the second prince was desperately searching for high-grade magic treasures. If he wanted to not be eliminated, increasing his combat strength was the best choice. ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? With big brother and sister Xiyue, we can easily pass the round,¡± Lin Die said with a smirk. Two peerless geniuses at level 31 of the transformation dragon realm with many tricks could probably kill a Nirvana R4ealm warrior together. Although she was a burden in terms of realm, her combat strength was not weaker than Yan Rong¡¯s. ¡°Don¡¯t be careless. The danger zone is not that simple. Moreover, there are more rules.¡± Jiang Xiyue knocked Lin Die¡¯s small head. ¡°Entering the danger zone is a random teleportation array. All the participants compete in it. When there are only 1,000 people left, the teleportation array will be activated and everyone will be teleported out. Regardless of whether these people have escaped from the danger zone or not, they will be considered to have passed the level. ¡± There was no doubt that this rule was to allow the participants to kill each other. As long as they were able to eliminate the participants, they would be able to use all means at their disposal. ¡°When the time comes for a fight, you and Yan Rong will protect yourselves. Don¡¯t casually make a move,¡± Lin Mo also said. Perhaps there would be a sneak attack. After all, this was allowed by the rules. ¡°Alright. However, I have the sky fire armor, so it shouldn¡¯t go that far¡­¡± Lin Die¡¯s aura weakened a little. However, she still said in a low voice. It was not easy to break through her defense with a spirit rank 9 defensive magic tool. ¡°Alright, alright, alright¡­ I¡¯ll hide behind.¡± Looking at the scrutinizing gazes of Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue, Lin Die was defeated and no longer dared to talk back. ¡°Yan Rong, remember to watch over Xiao Die, don¡¯t let her mess around.¡± Lin Mo was worried, so he instructed Yan Rong to protect Lin Die. If necessary, he could make a move. He also gave Yan Rong the tier 9 spirit grade instantaneous shadow bow that he had won back from the auction, allowing him to make a move at the critical moment and kill anyone who tried to approach. ¡°I understand.¡± Yan Rong nodded. In the boundless mountain range, mountains stood tall, and ancient trees rose up from the ground, piercing through the clouds. They passed through the mountains and saw many beautiful scenery along the way. There was life everywhere. ¡°The smell of the primeval forest. There are few people and the air is much clearer,¡± Jiang Xiyue praised. Although the Purple Moon Palace had such beautiful sceneries and even more spiritual energy, it was still in the royal palace. However, it was too big and seemed to be sparsely populated. They met more and more people along the way. Soon, they saw buildings at the end of their line of sight. Some of the high platforms had been temporarily built, and a powerful array formation enveloped the area. ¡°What a big move¡­¡± Seeing such a large array formation, Lin Mo gasped in surprise. The array formation here was even higher in rank than Yue Xuan¡¯s, and this was even a temporary array formation. ¡°So many people, are they all participants?¡± Lin Die frowned. There were too many people here. ¡°Of course there are. After all, the invitation letter had been issued two years ago. At that time, as long as one has a bit of talent, they would be given out¡­¡± Someone explained. This was because some people felt that they were not talented enough and did not want to humiliate themselves. Otherwise, there would be even more people. ¡°Can this dangerous land accommodate so many people?¡± Lin Die asked again. ¡°Yes. This dangerous land was under the control of the royal family a long time ago. After so many years of exploration, they have basically figured out many dangers,¡± Jiang Xiyue said. This was also the reason why the royal family decided to set the battlefield here. ¡°Hey, sister, you¡¯re finally here. You¡¯ve been in closed-door cultivation all this time. Even if I wanted to find you, I couldn¡¯t.¡± Lin Mo and the others had just arrived, but they had already attracted a lot of attention. The crown prince was the first to speak and walked over as if they were familiar with each other. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness.¡± Jiang Xiyue brought Lin Mo and bowed. When facing the crown prince, she didn¡¯t forget to follow the proper etiquette. ¡°Brother Lin, you have been living in Purple Moon Palace for the past few days and have not received any guests. You are treating me as an outsider.¡±The crown prince looked at Lin Mo and ignored Jiang Xiyue. He helped Lin Mo up first. ¡°Sister, please rise. Blood is thicker than water. There is no need for such a big ceremony,¡± The crown prince said with a smile. Compared to Lin Mo, the smile on Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face was not as sincere. ¡°Thank You, Your Highness.¡± Jiang Xiyue stood up and glanced at Lin Mo before leading the others to their seats. ¡°You can¡¯t blame me for this. He rushed here on his own accord.¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. The crown prince was still trying to drive a wedge between them at this time¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything. Why are you so nervous?¡± Jiang Xiyue covered her mouth and laughed. ¡°Dong!¡± A loud sound was heard. On the stone platform at the very front, an old man lightly knocked on a gong. ¡°Time¡¯s up. The preliminary selection has begun. Participants, please enter the arena within an hour.¡± A team of cavalrymen appeared and guarded the stone platform. The old man came to the center of the stone platform, formed a spell, and activated the teleportation formation. In the next moment, rays of light shot out in all directions and floated above the stone platform. ¡°This is an empty spirit talisman. If you fuse it into your body, you will be able to enter the teleportation array. If you die in the danger zone, you will be forcefully teleported out.¡± ¡°Although this will save your lives, those who die in battle will also be heavily injured and eliminated.¡± ¡°Now, participants, fuse an empty spirit talisman into your body and inject your spirit energy. You will be teleported into the danger zone.¡± ¡°Dong!¡± After the old man finished speaking, he knocked on the gong and shouted, ¡°The time starts now. Those who fail to enter within an hour will be eliminated.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, many people flew up in all directions and grabbed the empty spirit talisman floating in the air. In the next moment, as the space rippled, these people began to disappear and were teleported away. ¡°Let¡¯s go as well, I can¡¯t wait any longer.¡± Lin Die¡¯s face was filled with excitement. She had been training all this time, but it had been hard on her. Although Yan Rong had been her sparring partner, she didn¡¯t want to be like this. Although she was a rare innate beast, she was still a demonic beast. Deep within the bones of a demonic beast, the desire to fight had never dissipated. ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you promised.¡± Lin Mo helplessly reminded her. He was really afraid that this little girl wouldn¡¯t be able to control her temper after entering¡­ ¡°Got it.¡± Lin Die vaguely agreed. With a wave of her hand, she grabbed a few empty spirit talismans that were flying towards her. The four of them held one each. Holding hands, they activated the talismans and in the next instant, they all disappeared¡­ Chapter 384 - Swarms of insects Lin Mo¡¯s figure had just disappeared when he felt a distortion in space. After a full 10 seconds, the feeling of being on solid ground finally appeared. He opened his eyes, and the surrounding environment had already changed. There were no mountains around him. Instead, there were stone walls on both sides, and they appeared in a deep canyon. As the four of them were holding hands, they were not separated by the teleportation formation. However, they did not see anyone around them. A chilly breeze blew over, causing the canyon to become a little more sinister. ¡°Chi Chi!¡± At this moment, the sounds of insects could be heard from the surroundings, breaking the silence of the canyon. Lin Mo looked at the surrounding scenery and was a little surprised. However, his soul energy did not sense anything unusual. ¡°Brother, there¡¯s danger here,¡±Lin Mo said in a low voice. Her perception was the sharpest among the four of them. ¡°Buzz Buzz.¡± Just as Lin die finished speaking, black fog suddenly surged around them and spread out, lowering their line of sight to the lowest. ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s a poisonous bug.¡± Yan Rong suddenly said. He was the first to be attacked. A palm-sized bug rushed toward him. Fortunately, he noticed it early and shot it with the instant shadow bow. ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s poisonous.¡± His voice followed closely, alerting Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. The two of them protected Lin die in the middle and stood in a triangle with Yan Rong, observing their surroundings. ¡°It¡¯s coming.¡± Lin Mo was also attacked. It was a red centipede that was two meters long. It flew out from the Black Fog and hissed. ¡°So disgusting¡­¡± Lin Die shivered behind them. It was the first time she had seen a two-meter-long centipede. She felt nauseous. ¡°Yan Rong, take care of Xiaodie.¡± A voice came from Jiang Xiyue¡¯s side. She had rushed out. Perhaps she had sensed Jiang Xiyue¡¯s powerful strength, but there were more bugs attacking her. She had just left the team, but she had already taken away half of the bugs, half a meter tall toads, and three to four meters long spiders. ¡°Damn it, where did they teleport us to¡­¡± Lin Mo cursed angrily. The Flames started to circulate, and the Vermillion Bird divine flame erupted without holding back. The sounds of battle could be heard from Yan Rong and Xiao Die behind them, but the pressure wasn¡¯t too great. ¡°This doesn¡¯t look like a hive. Some of these bugs are natural enemies, so they can¡¯t gather together.¡± He was very surprised because there were too many types of bugs, and it was impossible to kill all of them. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t use the DAO fire. Quickly restrain your aura.¡± While they were fighting, Jiang Xiyue suddenly shouted. Lin Mo was stunned for a moment and extinguished the vermillion bird divine flame. However, he was still a step too late. The surrounding black fog had already dissipated because Lin Mo had used the Vermillion Bird Divine Flame. Under the Black Fog, there was a dense swarm of bugs. They seemed to be risking their lives as they crazily charged at Lin Mo. . ¡°What the hell¡­¡± Lin Mo shouted and took out the ancient sword of desolation. At this time, he could no longer hide his strength. If he was poisoned, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Brother, they are coming for me.¡± Lin Die said from behind. Then, she pointed in a direction and said, ¡°There is a very annoying aura over there.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s expression turned cold. He told Lin die and Yan Rong to pay attention to their safety. He stepped on the Kylin steps and flew towards the direction that Lin die pointed. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± In the next moment, the ground cracked open, and a half-meter-wide giant python emerged from the ground. Its sharp fangs lowered the black saliva, corroding the spiritual energy. ¡°The black venom Python can actually cultivate to the 31st level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It¡¯s really rare¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Black Venom Python wasn¡¯t very powerful, and its innate bloodline wasn¡¯t strong either. Normally, being able to cultivate to the 20th level of the dragon transformation realm was already the limit. And the one in front of him had already exceeded the black venom Python¡¯s growth limit. ¡°Looks like the answer is there¡­¡± In the direction Lin die pointed, the black fog covered a hole. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame burned the black fog, forcing it into it. ¡°Pu!¡± The black venom Python¡¯s eyes were scarlet red, and its sharp fangs spat out large amounts of black venom at Lin Mo. . Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any time. The ancient desolate sword left his body, avoiding the venom. At the same time, the sword light slashed down, and the huge black venom Python fell to the ground. ¡°This place is a little different. The inner core of this black venomous python has already reached the level of a spirit rank 1.¡± Lin Mo opened his mouth and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. The instant he entered, a strong sense of dizziness spread out, causing Lin Mo to almost faint. ¡°What a strong poison¡­¡± Even though he was protected by the spiritual energy, he was still able to activate the God Devouring Art. He had also been struck by this poison. This poison was very overbearing, and if an ordinary person were to enter, they would lose all their life force within a short moment, turning into a dried corpse. With the sword radiance protecting his body, Lin Mo did not receive any attacks. The soul devouring art circulated even faster and devoured the poison within his body in just two to three seconds. After solving the problem of the poison, Lin Mo stood up and walked deeper into the cave. ¡°This place is really strange. The Yin energy outside is so heavy, but it¡¯s a little hot inside.¡± As Lin Mo went deeper into the cave, he discovered that the fire elements in the cave were beginning to gather and increase in number. This also made the cave seem desolate, devoid of life. There were dried up rocks everywhere. Waves of pale yellow gas drifted out from the depths of the cave, bringing with it a pungent smell. It was a very unpleasant smell. ¡°It¡¯s a little like sulfur. Could it be a volcano down here¡­¡± Lin Mo felt as if he was descending deeper into the cave. After walking for about four to five hundred meters, a searing hot aura spread out, as if it was going to burn everyone who entered the cave. ¡°Chi Chi.¡± The surrounding air started to ignite. Following that, he saw a scarlet beetle blocking his path. Flames were burning on the beetle¡¯s surface as it hissed at Lin Mo.. After entering for such a long time, he did not expect there to be a beetle here. This caused Lin Mo to be slightly shocked. However, before he could speak, the beetle spoke first. ¡°Those who trespass here will be killed without mercy.¡± As it spoke, the beetle opened its mouth and spat out a ball of azure flames. The surrounding space was distorted by the scorching flames. Lin Mo raised his hand and used his dao fire to block the ball of flames. ¡°Since you can speak human language, your inner core should be of some value.¡±The desolation ancient sword appeared, and Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. Although the grade of the beetle¡¯s inner core was not very high, it was still not bad. It was just right for Lin Die to cultivate. ¡°Idiot, you and I are only at the same realm. How dare a mere human provoke us.¡± The beetle roared angrily. However, before it could say anything, Lin Mo¡¯s ancient desolate sword had already slashed over. Clang A metallic sound rang out. The beetle was repelled by Lin Mo¡¯s sword, but it wasn¡¯t injured. ¡°So Hard. What kind of bug are you?¡±Lin Mo said in surprise. The beetle¡¯s shell was very hard. With the support of spiritual energy, it was already considered not bad to be able to resist a spirit rank 9 magic tool. ¡°Human, if you retreat now, this Lord will still spare your life.¡± The beetle spoke, its tone no longer filled with contempt from before. Instead, it was replaced with a heavy tone. Although it had always lived here, it knew how powerful magic tools were. The ancient Desolation Sword¡¯s sword Ray was extremely sharp. If it continued to fight, it would definitely lose. ¡°Retreat. It seems like you guys took the initiative to attack. Is it appropriate for me to retreat now?¡± Lin Mo sneered. He still wanted to know what was inside. How could he retreat so easily. Chapter 385 - Soul Nurturing Stone Chapter 385: soul nurturing stone This beetle didn¡¯t seem to have learned any martial arts, and only knew some simple moves. Its most powerful racial talent was its azure flames and hard carapace. None of these were able to cause any trouble to Lin Mo.. After a few rounds, Lin Mo split the beetle into two. In the next moment, bright red blood flowed out, bringing with it a scorching temperature, and steam was still coming out from it. ¡°This inner core seems to be a little different¡­¡± Looking at the inner core floating up from the beetle¡¯s body, Lin Mo kept it into the system space, intending to take a look at what kind of creature it was. [ divine flame bug¡¯s inner core. This type of bug has a powerful bloodline, and is born from absorbing innate spiritual energy. Its grade is spirit level rank 4. ] As the system¡¯s voice fell, Lin Mo was a little surprised. A demonic beast at level 31 of the dragonification realm could actually reach spirit level rank four with its inner core. ¡°Absorbing innate spiritual energy. Doesn¡¯t that mean that this cave is very likely to have some kind of innate treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. After bypassing the divine flame bug, he continued to advance deeper into the cave. As he went deeper, the surrounding space gradually expanded. He didn¡¯t expect that there was such a cave underground. This place was already extremely hot. The ground was emitting hot air, as if it would spontaneously combust at any moment. ¡°Roar¡­¡± A roar came from afar. Following that, a deep red giant ape appeared. Its body was burning with flames. It was over a hundred feet tall and had a ferocious look on its face. Its thick skin was surrounded by scarlet flames. This was definitely an extremely powerful ferocious beast. Lin Mo was slightly surprised. He knew that they had arrived at the deepest part of this place. This giant ape should be the strongest expert in this place. ¡°You should be able to speak, right?¡±Lin Mo asked, wanting to find out the truth from this giant ape¡¯s mouth. ¡°Die.¡± However, just as Lin Mo finished speaking, the giant ape roared and charged towards him. Its huge fist enlarged in front of Lin Mo, and the terrifying power caused Lin Mo¡¯s skin to feel a tingling pain. ¡°This ferocious beast is only one step away from reaching the Nirvana stage¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He started a huge battle with the huge ape. The battle between their physical bodies caused the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. The commotion caused by their exchange almost caused the entire place to collapse. ¡°It only knows some simple moves. It doesn¡¯t know how to control a magic tool, doesn¡¯t know martial arts, and doesn¡¯t even have a cultivation technique¡­¡± After a round of battle, Lin Mo crushed the huge ape. His palms threw out two flames. This was the condensation of the flames, exploding through the huge ape¡¯s arms. Then, his spiritual energy condensed into a huge hand and tightly grabbed onto the giant ape. The giant ape roared incessantly. However, its arms were broken by Lin Mo and it lost 70-80% of its strength. There was no room for it to resist. Although this giant ape was very strong and had the strength of a half-step nirvana stage, it was not a match for Lin Mo. Furthermore, it had not even learned any martial arts or cultivation techniques. ¡°How Strange, how did you grow to this stage without any cultivation techniques?¡± Lin Mo asked. Logically speaking, if one did not learn any cultivation techniques, they would at most be able to step into the dragonification stage, stopping at more than ten stages. However, this giant ape¡¯s strength was already about to break through to Nirvana stage. ¡°You¡­ how can you be so strong¡­¡±the giant ape roared, and after it could not break free, it said angrily. ¡°It¡¯s not your turn to ask. First, tell me, what is this place and what is so mysterious about it?¡±Lin Mo asked. The most important thing was to ask what kind of supreme treasure was here. The giant ape was still struggling and refused to answer. In the end, Lin Mo pressed the desolation ancient sword between its brows and asked again, ¡°Answer my question. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind killing you and exploring on my own.¡± ¡°Roar.¡± Suddenly, the giant ape¡¯s body began to expand continuously. The palm condensed by spiritual power was broken, and its face was filled with fear. ¡°Self-destruct?¡± Lin Mo frowned, and the ancient sword of desolation stabbed down, ending the giant ape¡¯s life. ¡°Rumble.¡± A violent explosion sounded, and the giant ape¡¯s body exploded. Although Lin Mo had acted immediately, he was still a step too late. Terrifying Flames engulfed the cave, and the area within was limited. If Lin Mo did not have the protection of the DAO Flame, he would have suffered serious injuries. He did not expect the giant ape to be so decisive. It would rather die than reveal the truth to him. ¡°That¡¯s not right. Its expression before it died shouldn¡¯t have been voluntary. Could it have been controlled?¡±Lin Mo muttered to himself. When he recalled the giant APE¡¯s expression when it self-destructed, it was filled with fear. Self-destructing wasn¡¯t its will. ¡°Eh, what¡¯s That?¡± While he was thinking, Lin Mo discovered something strange. The Giant Ape¡¯s explosion had doubled the area. At the same time, Lin Mo also discovered that there was something strange in the deepest part of the area. When he got closer, he realized that it was a stone carving. ¡°What Strange Runes.¡± Looking at these runes, Lin Mo felt that it was very strange. In his heart, he even had an impulse to charge forward and fuse his soul into it¡­ ¡°So Strange.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Naturally, he wouldn¡¯t be able to fuse his soul into it rashly. However, in this cave, this was the only thing that seemed to have some value¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll try to put it into the system space.¡± He tried to activate the system space, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would really be able to put the stone carvings into it. At the same time, a notification came from the system space. [ the ancient stone carvings have existed for more than 145,000 years. It was carved from the soul nurturing stone. It contains innate spiritual energy and can nourish the soul. It will last for ten thousand years. ] [ the remnant soul that was nurtured in it has already dissipated. Only a remnant consciousness was left. The moment it controlled the giant ape to self-destruct, it had already dissipated. ] ¡°A single consciousness can control a half-step-to nirvana stage giant ape?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. At the same time, he thought that perhaps the bugs in this entire area were controlled by this consciousness¡­ ¡°It should be 145,000 years ago, when an ultimate expert died. The remnant soul hid in the soul nurturing stone, but it was ultimately unable to escape the wear and tear of time¡­¡± After understanding the cause and effect, Lin Mo sighed. A supreme expert had died, and his footprints had completely disappeared. However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that this dangerous land had existed for 140,000 years. In fact, that supreme expert had already existed before he came here, and its age was immeasurable¡­ ¡°It¡¯s time to leave.¡± After a simple inspection, Lin Mo chose to retreat. Jiang Xiyue and the others were still waiting outside. As expected, when Lin Mo came out, the insects outside had already dispersed. Jiang Xiyue and the others stood guard at the entrance of the cave, waiting anxiously. ¡°Ah, brother is out.¡± Lin Die was the first to sense Lin Mo¡¯s aura and said happily. Jiang Xiyue stood up. Seeing that Lin Mo was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°What¡¯s in there? You¡¯ve been gone for so long?¡± ¡°I think I know what¡¯s going on,¡±Lin Mo said. He gave a rough description of the situation in the cave. The reason why the swarm of insects attacked them was probably because they had sensed Xiaodie¡¯s aura. Their goal? Perhaps it was because Xiaodie¡¯s true form was the huancai fire demon, and the butterfly was also a type of insect. Therefore, they wanted to control it. This was the control of the consciousness of the soul-retaining stone. For tens of thousands of years, it should have dissipated a long time ago. It could only act instinctively. ¡°Spirit nurturing stone. That¡¯s not bad. You can give it to an alchemist to refine a cauldron of spirit pills that nourish the soul,¡±Jiang Xiyue commented. She had already gained something as soon as she entered. ¡°What grade is this spirit nurturing stone?¡±Jiang Xiyue asked. Chapter 386 - I will give you the best After hearing Jiang Xiyue¡¯s question, Lin Mo remembered that he hadn¡¯t checked the grade of the soul nurturing stone yet. ¡°It has been in storage for 140,000 years. I wonder how much innate spiritual energy is left. I hope its grade is too low.¡± He sank his consciousness into the system space and was slightly surprised after checking it. [ soul nurturing stone, grade: Spirit Rank 6. ] Spirit rank 6. After such a long period of time, it was still able to reach spirit rank 6. It was hard to imagine what grade such a large soul nurturing stone from 140,000 years ago was. ¡°It¡¯s barely able to reach spirit rank 6. Unfortunately, the innate spiritual energy in its body has been drained too severely.¡± Lin Mo took out the stone carvings and said helplessly. The three of them looked over curiously. There were some symbols carved on the stone carvings that they couldn¡¯t quite understand. However, they didn¡¯t have any spirituality and had no practical use. Only the material itself was the most precious. It could be sold for a good price. ¡°Keep it for now. None of us know how to refine pills.¡±Lin Mo kept the soul nurturing stone. They should continue moving forward. Although this was a dangerous place, it was also a precious place for cultivation. The four of them continued on their journey. Although they were hiding in the cave just now, they would be able to advance directly after the preliminaries were over. However, Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue naturally wouldn¡¯t make such a choice. How could they really grow up by hiding in a corner. This dangerous place was very big, beyond their imagination. After walking for so long, they didn¡¯t meet anyone else. ¡°Hey, stop. There¡¯s a rich spiritual energy fluctuation on the left. There¡¯s a spirit herb.¡± On the way, Lin Die suddenly stopped. She looked to the left and sniffed with her little nose, nodding her head firmly. ¡°That¡¯s great. A spirit herb that can grow in a danger zone must be extraordinary.¡± Lin Mo immediately decided to turn around. The four of them came to a small pond in front of them, surrounded by a dense aura of death. There was no sign of life. However, in the middle of the deathly aura, there were pale blue lotus flowers growing in the pond. ¡°It¡¯s a blue lotus, a spirit level rank 5 spiritual herb. There¡¯s actually one here¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue exclaimed in surprise. The pond wasn¡¯t big, only about ten meters wide. After careful counting, there were about seventeen blue lotuses. The lotus flowers, which were the size of a bowl, swayed in the pond, emitting a sparkling radiance. Strands of life force were emitted from the pond. However, as soon as this aura spread, it was corroded by the surrounding aura of death, cancelling each other out. Yan Rong took the initiative to go forward, wanting to pick seventeen blue lotuses. This could be considered a great opportunity. Moreover, the medicinal effects of the spirit herbs that grew in the danger zone were slightly stronger than ordinary spirit herbs. Regardless of whether it was auctioned or consumed by oneself, it was a good choice. Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind came from a distance. An arrow with lightning was shot over, and its target was the back of Yan Rong¡¯s head. Yan Rong¡¯s gaze turned cold. Holding the instant shadow bow in his hand, he turned around and shot out an arrow, blocking the lightning arrow. ¡°A spiritual grade ninth-grade bow-type magical artifact.¡± The person who attacked from behind appeared and cried out in surprise. There were more than ten of them, and the strongest one was at the thirty-first level of the dragon transformation realm. He was the one who had spoken. He held a large lightning bow in his hand as he stared at Yan Rong¡¯s Instant Shadow Bow with great desire. ¡°What a good treasure. It¡¯s just a pity that I followed the wrong master.¡± He felt that these dozen of them could take down Lin Mo and the others. A spiritual grade level 9 magic tool being controlled by a person at the 27th rank of the dragon transformation realm showed that the other two were not that strong. Moreover, they suspected that Lin Mo and the others were here to participate in the primary selection. Why did they bring along a little girl. ¡°I¡¯ve been underestimated¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue sighed. She didn¡¯t usually show herself. In fact, the outside world had even thought that she was the eighth prince and not the princess. ¡°They¡¯re just a bunch of clowns¡­¡± Lin Mo made his move, using his fingers as a sword as he slid down towards these people. The expressions of these people changed drastically. The person in the lead held his longbow in an attempt to block the attack, but in the next moment, his lightning longbow was sent flying. A sword ray flashed past, and the bodies of the people in front of him were separated on the spot. This attack shocked everyone. They didn¡¯t use any martial arts or magic tools, but this simple sword Qi had actually killed the four of them¡­ ¡°How can you be so powerful? Who Are You?¡± These people did not know the identities of Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. If they knew, they would probably be scared out of their wits. How would they dare to stay. ¡°A team led by a level 31 dragon transformation realm cultivator does not find a place to hide and still dares to attack others¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said coldly and released her aura without holding back. Following that, waves of dragon roars came from her mouth, shaking the world. ¡°This is true dragon¡¯s might¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Jiang Xiyue had refined the true dragon¡¯s heart blood, and her physical fitness had greatly increased. She had even comprehended dragon¡¯s might from it¡­ ¡°Leave the rest to me.¡± Seeing that Jiang Xiyue had attacked and killed the person holding the Lightning Longbow, Lin Die couldn¡¯t sit still. As a demonic beast, the battle factor in her blood was released, and she charged out to fight the remaining people. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t worried about this. At this moment, Lin die was holding a golden spear. The tip of the spear seemed to have a blazing sun on it, emitting a dazzling light. ¡°This is an earth-grade magic weapon spear. Where did she get it?¡±Jiang Xiyue looked at Lin Die, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, and was extremely envious. In the next moment, she looked at Lin Mo with longing in her eyes and said, ¡°You gave it to her?¡± ¡°Uh¡­ I still don¡¯t know what your main weapon is. Otherwise, I can get you one too¡­¡± Lin Mo scratched his head. She had seen Jiang Xiyue use many weapons, but none of them were her main weapon. ¡°Spear. My major is spear,¡±Jiang Xiyue said as she looked at Lin Mo anxiously. If Lin Mo could get an earth grade spear, she could even challenge the crown prince directly. The reason why the crown prince was able to sit firmly at the top of the Yan Huang Roll of Fame was because he was able to delay the divine dynasty¡¯s ancestral magic artifact and was chosen by the flame god Spear. ¡°If the flame god Spear had been given to me back then, wouldn¡¯t the first place on the Yan Huang Roll of Fame have been Jiang Cheng? Was it because I wasn¡¯t born of the Empress?¡± Jiang Xiyue said indignantly. Thinking back on the past, her eyes were filled with unwillingness. The Yan Huang Divine Dynasty had at most given her a cultivation technique and some resources. Strictly speaking, it wasn¡¯t even as much as what Lin Mo had given her¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t feel wronged. I¡¯ll definitely give you an earth-grade spear,¡±Lin Mo comforted her. He did not expect the emperor to be so biased. No wonder Jiang Xiyue wanted to nurture an army to rebel¡­ ¡°This blazing fire spirit fan is a half-step earth-grade magic tool. You can use it first.¡± He took out the blazing fire spirit fan from before. He had planned to devour it directly. After all, he did not know how to use a fan-type magic tool. But in the end, he had planned to keep it as the finale of an auction. Now, he could use it to coax Jiang Xiyue¡­ ¡°What About You?¡±Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t take it and looked at Lin Mo.. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to use it. I originally planned to auction it, but I¡¯ll let you use it for now¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently and stuffed the blazing fire spirit fan into Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hands. Looking at her aggrieved look from reminiscing about the past, Lin Mo reached out and pulled her into his arms. He said gently, ¡°Give me time. I can give you the best of Everything You Want¡­¡± Chapter 387 - The Tianwu Clan ¡°That¡¯s enough. You have to be considerate of your subordinates. Don¡¯t show off in front of me¡­¡± Seeing the two of them hugging each other, Yan Rong, who was plucking the Blue Lotus, couldn¡¯t help but cry out. This was a dangerous place. There were dangers everywhere. If they saw a treasure, they should just pluck it and leave. ¡°Let go of me¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue complained. Just as she was feeling a little sad, Lin Mo lifted her up by the waist¡­ ¡°Cough cough.¡± Looking at Jiang Xiyue who had struggled free, Lin Mo coughed dryly. He looked at her nose, nose, and heart, and didn¡¯t make a sound. Not long after, Lin Die also eliminated those people. She held a few spatial bags, which were the treasures on these people¡¯s bodies. ¡°It¡¯s not much. A few tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones and three spirit rank 1 spirit herbs¡­¡± She threw all the items out and said with a frown. It was too shabby to have so few treasures with such a large group of people. ¡°This is a normal phenomenon. Do you think everyone is like that guy? He can get any kind of treasure.¡± Jiang Xiyue checked and made sure that there was nothing valuable before she comforted them. ¡°Come and take a look. Are these the seeds of the Blue Lotus?¡± Yan Rong said as he plucked all seventeen blue lotuses. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed something unusual. Lin Mo and the others walked over and saw a blue crystal buried under the mud in the middle of the pond. ¡°No, it¡¯s dangerous.¡± No one had expected that the small pond, which had been extremely calm just a moment ago, would explode horribly with the appearance of this blue crystal. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were the first to react. The two of them grabbed Yan Rong and Lin Die and fled into the distance. This place had become extremely dangerous. The dense aura of death in the surroundings erupted and surged towards them. The place where the aura of life and death was originally balanced was instantly thrown into chaos. ¡°Roar!¡± Jiang Xiyue let out a dragon¡¯s roar as she hugged Lin Die. In a few flashes, they escaped from the range of the aura of death. Lin Mo grabbed Yan Rong¡¯s shoulder and spread his Kun Peng Wings. With a gentle flap, he followed them as if he was teleporting. Amidst the terrifying explosions, the entire area was enveloped by the aura of death. The corpses of the group of people who were killed by Lin die quickly dried up and turned into ashes before dissipating. Not to mention the flesh and bones, even the spiritual energy could not exist here and was devoured by the aura of death. ¡°That was close. As expected of a dangerous place¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue sighed. She had escaped with Lin Die. It was a close call. The four of them stood in the air and looked down. They realized that there were runes condensing within the aura of death. It was becoming more and more terrifying. No wonder there wasn¡¯t even any spiritual energy left. When the explosion ended and everything calmed down, the area within a radius of ten Li had already become a death zone. Only the center had a bit of azure blue, which was where the life force was. Life and death were still balanced, but they could no longer enter casually. ¡°It¡¯s a bit like yin and yang, but it doesn¡¯t seem like it. The life force is only a bit in the middle¡­¡± Lin Mo said. They had been too slow just now, and hadn¡¯t been able to take the Azure Crystal away. To be able to trigger such a large death zone, it was likely that the grade of the crystal wasn¡¯t low. It was at least at the 8th tier spirit grade, and they would definitely be able to make a huge profit if they auctioned it off. ¡°Haha, no wonder there was such a terrifying explosion. So it¡¯s because a supreme treasure has appeared.¡± From behind, someone laughed lightly as they walked up. This was a group of youths in their twenties. They were dressed in the attire of a sect or a holy land. However, Lin Mo had never seen them before. He turned his gaze towards Jiang Xiyue. However, Jiang Xiyue also frowned. She did not know who these people were or where they came from. These people ignored Lin Mo and the others. Their eyes were burning as they looked at the Azure Crystal in the death zone. Finally, when they withdrew their crystal, greed flashed in their eyes. However, they did not act rashly. Instead, they looked at Lin Mo and the other three. ¡°Hehe, I think the two of you should be Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue, who are currently in the limelight, ranked eighth and sixth on the wind and cloud board.¡± The person standing at the front flashed and came in front of the two of them. He laughed lightly and said, ¡°You guys also want that treasure. Why don¡¯t we join hands and take out the treasure?¡± ¡°Even Nirvana Tealm experts don¡¯t dare to say that they can enter this death zone. What can you do?¡± Asked Lin Mo. ¡°We are from the Tianwu clan of Great Yan Divine Empire. We have brought a formation with us this time. It is not a problem to resist the aura of death. We are still short of candidates to enter,¡± Said the man with a smile. What he implied was that he wanted Lin Mo and the others to go in and bring out the blue crystal. ¡°Tianwu clan, what¡¯s your relationship with the ancient martial arts clan?¡± Lin Mo suddenly asked. ¡°Oh, you actually know about our subordinate clans,¡± That person said proudly, looking at Lin Mo with contempt. In his opinion, the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty had a ban, and rogue cultivators basically had no way out. On the so-called Yanhuang board of fame, only the number one crown prince, Jiang Cheng, had the strength. Therefore, although the overall strength of the Yanhuang dynasty was the strongest among the four dynasties, it was only limited to the imperial family. He could easily suppress an itinerant cultivator like Lin Mo with just one hand. ¡°Even the Prince of Great Yan Divine Empire doesn¡¯t dare to look down on me. You are just a nobody, where did you get your confidence from?¡± Said Lin Mo. ¡°What do you mean by this?¡± The man was taken aback, and his eyes were filled with a hint of anger. ¡°Nothing much. I just feel that this cooperation is unnecessary. You might as well say you want to rob us.¡± Lin Mo said, walking forward with an arrogant look in his eyes. This kind of look was the same as this person¡¯s gaze just now. It was disdainful and condescending¡­ ¡°What did you say?¡± That person¡¯s face darkened. He took out a long sword and prepared to make a move. Seeing this, Lin Mo stopped Jiang Xiyue who was about to make a move. Among the people in front of him, only this young man was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He really wanted to witness the strength of the younger generation of the Tianwu clan. After exchanging blows, Lin Mo helplessly shook his head. This kind of strength was a little weak. If it was placed in the current ranking of the ranking board, it would only be in the top 20. Although the exchange of blows caused a huge commotion, Lin Mo was able to suppress his opponent with just his fingers as a sword. ¡°You¡¯re really weak. You shouldn¡¯t be ranked in the Tianwu clan, right? How dare you be so arrogant with this bit of ability?¡± After more than twenty moves, Lin Mo did not intend to continue fighting. With a palm strike, he chopped off the young man¡¯s sword-wielding arm. The young man spat out a mouthful of blood. He picked up the severed arm with his left hand and retreated to the back. ¡°Take out the formation, then go in and take out the treasure for me.¡± Lin Mo pointed at the death zone behind him. ¡°You¡­ Aren¡¯t you afraid of offending the Tianwu Clan?¡± The young man said angrily. It was already a humiliation to have one of his arms chopped off, and now he was being threatened. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. So what if I offended them?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, not caring at all. ¡°After you reattach the severed arm, go in. You asked for it.¡± Lin Mo continued. The other party had wanted them to enter the death zone from the start, so he would return the favor. The young man¡¯s face turned pale. He looked at the death zone, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. When the broken arm was being fixed by the spirit herbs, he took out a formation with a trembling hand. It was a 3rd tier spirit realm defensive formation. ¡°Is there a formation that doesn¡¯t need to be used against you?¡± Jiang Xiyue walked over and asked with a cold smile. The Tianwu clan of Great Yan Divine Empire and Yanhuang Divine Empire were enemies to begin with, and both sides had a lot of grudges. Chapter 388 - How to Enter the Death Zone She didn¡¯t like these people either. She had never thought that these people would be able to enter the preliminaries. ¡°It should only be the defensive formation.¡± Lin Mo said. Sooner or later, the energy of a defensive formation would run out. This fellow shouldn¡¯t be that stupid. He knew that if he used a defensive formation to deal with Lin Mo, he would at most be able to act arrogantly during the duration of the formation. ¡°Forget it. Let¡¯s see if this spirit rank 3 formation can withstand the death zone.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t think too much about it. At this moment, the young man had already entered half of the death zone. The sound of corrosion continuously came from the light barrier of the defensive formation. ¡°He shouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. He won¡¯t be able to reach the deepest part of the death zone¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head and said in a low voice. ¡°What did you say? Then why aren¡¯t you letting Liao Qing return? Are you trying to kill him?¡± The other disciples of the Tianwu clan at the back spoke up one after another. At this moment, they were extremely anxious. Liao Qing was the grandson of an elder, and his status was extremely high. They couldn¡¯t allow anything to happen to him. ¡°I¡¯m just returning the favor.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. He didn¡¯t care about Liao Qing¡¯s life or death. He had never been merciful to his enemies. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A miserable cry sounded out. It came from the young man called Liao Qing. The death aura in the death zone had eroded the formation. Liao Qing had no time to defend against it. In other words, it was useless even if he tried to defend against it because the death aura had eroded the spiritual energy. In less than ten seconds, Liao Qing had turned into a dried corpse with no vitality left. In the end, not even his bones were left, and ashes flew in the wind. ¡°What a terrifying death zone. That was close¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue frowned. Fortunately, they ran fast. If they were really eroded, they wouldn¡¯t be able to resist for long. ¡°Swish¡­¡± Suddenly, a pale golden longsword flew over and stabbed toward Jiang Xiyue¡¯s back, bringing up a gust of wind. ¡°Humph!¡± Jiang Xiyue raised her hand, and dragon scales appeared on her palm, holding the pale golden longsword. This was a spirit rank 7 magic tool. Such power was about to reach the attack of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. ¡°Just arrived and you¡¯re already attacking?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was cold. With such arrogance, he wanted to kill the person without any grudges¡­ ¡°You¡¯re really courting death.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly. The Ancient Sword of Desolation appeared and slashed towards the distance. The sword light was formed and its speed was as fast as lightning. It slashed towards the group of people who had just attacked. ¡°Bang!¡± Those people were startled and hurriedly blocked. In the end, they even threw out a spirit level talisman to block the sword light. However, the first person who wanted to receive Lin Mo¡¯s sword light was a man. He was already injured and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. These people were dressed in the attire of the Tianwu clan¡¯s disciples. They should be nearby. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s the Yanhuang Divine Empire. They sent our clan¡¯s disciples to scout the path and caused his death. Don¡¯t they want an explanation?¡±That group of people rushed over. The injured youth opened his mouth, his gaze cold. ¡°You brought this upon yourself. If you dare to attack again, don¡¯t blame me for being merciless,¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. He didn¡¯t care why these people from the Tianwu clan would appear here. Right now, he only wanted to know how he could enter the death zone and take that crystal away. At this moment, the death aura in the death zone had already fluctuated and was no longer calm. This energy seemed to have a spirit as it crazily attacked the crystal in the middle, wanting to devour the aura of life. ¡°No, it¡¯s not devouring, it¡¯s destroying.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The aura of death did not have a spirit, but it had an instinct to destroy everything. This included the aura of life. Their previous judgment was also wrong. The real situation was that the death zone had surrounded the aura of life, wanting to destroy it. ¡°I¡¯m afraid only an expert like elder Luo can face it. Let¡¯s not think about it¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. Even an ordinary Nirvana Realm expert couldn¡¯t negate such a death zone, let alone them, who were in the Dragon Transformation Realm. ¡°A spirit rank 6 defensive formation might be able to block it.¡± Lin Mo made a judgment. A spirit rank 6 formation had equivalent power to a sixth sky Nirvana Realm expert. There weren¡¯t many formations of this level in the entire eastern continent. ¡°You can even get your hands on such a formation?¡± Jiang Xiyue was shocked. When she saw Lin Mo¡¯s confident look, she really suspected that he could get his hands on it. ¡°Theoretically, it¡¯s possible, but we need to make some preparations. Unfortunately, we don¡¯t have a formation disk, and we don¡¯t have enough spirit stones. It would be great if we could hold an auction in the danger zone.¡± Lin Mo smiled. If he didn¡¯t have a formation disk, he could find someone else to buy it. However, if he wanted to buy a defensive formation disk in the danger zone, the price wouldn¡¯t be cheap. After all, this thing was for life-saving purposes. There was no place to buy it even if he wanted to. ¡°If it¡¯s a defensive formation plate, I have a third tier spirit grade one here. Elder Luo did me a favor and got it for us,¡± Jiang Xiyue said. She took out a palm-sized jade plate with many complicated runes engraved on it. ¡°It¡¯s a one-time use. The formation patterns can not be checked. It can only be activated.¡± This was a small trick used by spirit array masters. This way, the formation patterns would not be exposed during the auction of the formation plate. If anyone wanted to open it, they could destroy the formation plate at the very least. At the very worst, they could even self-destruct and take their lives. However, this wasn¡¯t an absolute. Even top spirit array masters could break through this kind of defense. Of course, how could a spirit array master of this level be interested in such a low grade formation¡­ ¡°Third rank spirit rank, let¡¯s give it a try. There might be a chance.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t refuse and accepted the array disk. As for the members of the Tianwu clan, they couldn¡¯t be bothered with them and turned around to leave. ¡°I hope we can get our hands on a sixth rank spirit rank defensive array formation. Otherwise, this treasure will be wasted.¡± Lin Die said regretfully. The four of them left, and only after they disappeared into this area did the members of the Tianwu clan, who had been ignored all this time, curse angrily. ¡°Senior Brother Liao Hong, what should we do? Senior Brother Liao Qing was killed. How should we explain this?¡± A disciple asked. The young man in the middle had a gloomy expression. He was in an extremely bad mood. When he received the message, he rushed over with his men. He didn¡¯t expect it to be too late. When he dared to come, his younger brother Liao Qing was already dead. Moreover, he could sense an extremely terrifying aura from Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. He wasn¡¯t a match for them at all. ¡°Bastards, Let¡¯s go find senior brother Chen Wu. I don¡¯t believe that we can¡¯t deal with them.¡± Liao Hong cursed and left with his men. Lin Mo didn¡¯t know about this. The four of them were walking in a dangerous place. With Lin Die¡¯s exceptional senses, they didn¡¯t encounter any danger. Instead, they picked quite a few spiritual herbs. ¡°There aren¡¯t any that are spiritual rank 5 and above¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He needed to consume a large number of spiritual herbs above spiritual grade level 5. These spiritual herbs were still too few. ¡°We¡¯ve already had a bumper harvest. We don¡¯t have the ability to pick spiritual herbs of a higher grade¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled. Those of a higher grade were basically all grown in the territory of Nirvana Realm Demonic Beasts. There was a price to pay for snatching food from the jaws of a tiger. Unless there were enough benefits, they wouldn¡¯t provoke Nirvana Realm demonic beasts. ¡°How many Spirit Stones does your devouring God body need to break through to Nirvana realm?¡± Walking on the road, Jiang Xiyue suddenly thought of something and said. At this moment, she already had the impulse to venture into dangerous places, just to find enough resources for Lin Mo¡­ Chapter 389 - Long ¡°About¡­ One billion middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned and said. This amount was already considered small. After all, he was in the Nirvana Realm and had truly stepped into the Great Dao of Heaven and earth. The amount of resources required to step into each great realm would increase exponentially. ¡°It¡¯s already worth half of the Purple Moon Palace¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled bitterly. It was easier said than done to gather one billion middle-grade spirit stones¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have more than twenty drops of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. It¡¯s enough for me to break through.¡± Lin Mo comforted her. He had to give Yan Rong a drop of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, and Jiang Xiyue¡¯s powerful subordinates would also have to share some. He planned to auction off the rest to Bai Luo at a discounted price. At that time, not only could he get a high-grade spirit stone, but he could also get a treasure with even better rebates. If he could get more than twenty drops of heaven-grade treasure with rebates, he might be able to directly enter the Nirvana Realm¡­ ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much¡­ Heaven-grade should be impossible.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. At the very most, he would be at the 9th tier of the Earth grade. Even if he were to sell it at a discounted price, he would still be at this rank. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then what about your future cultivation?¡± Jiang Xiyue was still worried. At this moment, she even regretted raising so many troops. She needed spirit stones everywhere. It was simply not enough¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s not chat for now. There is a hall ahead. I smell spiritual medicine. It is at least at the 7th tier of the spirit grade. There is more than one.¡± At this moment, Lin Die opened her mouth and pointed at a hall at the end of her line of sight. ¡°However, it seems like there¡¯s a Nirvana Realm Rank 1 demonic beast guarding the entrance of the palace.¡± Lin Die frowned. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We have a full set of spiritual artifacts. Even Nirvana Realm cultivators don¡¯t have as luxurious equipment as us. Why should we be afraid of a demonic beast?¡± Jiang Xiyue was the first to speak. A spirit rank 7 item was worth the risk. Moreover, she was thinking about Lin Mo¡¯s resources. A spirit level rank 7 could be auctioned off with a lot of spirit stones. The few of them arrived at the entrance of the palace. As soon as they arrived, they were attacked. It was a grayish-black giant lizard. As soon as it noticed Lin Mo and the others, it went crazy and attacked continuously. Some of the small hills in the surroundings were destroyed and the ground cracked. It was evident how powerful this Nirvana Realm beast was. ¡°Xiyue, we will be the main attacker. Xiaodie, you and Yan Rong will assist.¡± Lin Mo said. As they were dealing with Nirvana realm demonic beasts, Lin Die lent the Sun Spear to Jiang Xiyue. She herself used the blazing fire spirit fan and cooperated with Yan Rong using the instant shadow bow from a distance to interrupt the demonic beasts¡¯ attacks. ¡°Is this an earth grade spear? And it¡¯s the third tier of the Earth grade, no less. It¡¯s too strong¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue couldn¡¯t put it down. With the Sun Spear in her hand, she could use the power of a true dragon to fight against the demonic beasts without being at a disadvantage. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get you a stronger one¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had already made up his mind. He would find an opportunity to take the flame divine spear away from the crown prince. At that time, he would sell it to Bai Luo at a discounted price along with the ten-thousand-year-old earthly milk. The treasures he would get back would definitely be stronger¡­ ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded with a smile. ¡°Hiss!¡± The giant lizard was psychic and roared. Then, it spoke in human language, ¡°Two human ants, you¡¯re courting death.¡± ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits!¡± Lin Mo raised his hand, and without any concealment, a gigantic vermillion bird appeared behind him. As he formed a seal, the gigantic vermillion bird condensed the divine flames of the Vermillion Bird and charged towards the giant lizard. ¡°Dragon Emperor¡¯s Thorn!¡± Lin Mo wasn¡¯t the only one who attacked. Jiang Xiyue also attacked. The power unleashed by an earth-grade magic tool was extremely terrifying, and it wasn¡¯t inferior to Lin Mo¡¯s Four Cloud Piercing Spirits. The two powerful attacks landed at the same time, causing the giant lizard to let out a miserable shriek as fresh blood spurted out. A terrifying shockwave spread out as Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were pushed back. Blood seeped out from the corners of their mouths as they suffered minor injuries. At the center of the explosion, the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame was still burning. As for the giant lizard, it was already completely dead. Its head had been blasted apart, and the upper half of its body had cracks on it. A grayish-black inner core rolled out from the wound, emitting spiritual energy. ¡°It¡¯s a dark attribute inner core. It¡¯s not suitable for us to absorb it.¡± Lin Mo picked up the inner core and shook his head. Jiang Xiyue was currently suitable to absorb the inner core of a sub-dragon. No matter what attribute it was, Lin Mo and Lin Die had fire attributes. As for Yan Rong, he had yet to start comprehending the Dao principles, so he didn¡¯t have much of a requirement for attributes. ¡°It¡¯s a level 3 spirit realm treasure. Sell it and you¡¯ll get a lot of spirit stones,¡± Jiang Xiyue said and told Lin Mo to keep it. ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s go in and take a look. The fragrance of the spirit herbs is getting stronger and stronger,¡± Lin die urged. A Level 7 spirit realm treasure was rare even in dangerous places. It was tough to find. The hall was dark and quiet. The four of them walked in slowly. Lin Mo took out the defensive formation that Jiang Xiyue had just given him in case anything happened. However, it was a little unnecessary for them to do so. They didn¡¯t find any danger at the end of the hall. The hall was very big and desolate. No one had been here for many years. The giant lizard knew that there were spiritual herbs inside, but it didn¡¯t come in to pick them. It was a little strange. ¡°We¡¯re here. It¡¯s so gloomy here. Let¡¯s go quickly.¡± Lin Die said as she pointed ahead. There was an earth tomb there. There were some high-grade spirit herbs growing on it. ¡°It can¡¯t be, they¡¯re growing on the tomb¡­¡± Everyone felt a wave of disgust. The growth of spirit herbs required a long process, and at the same time, it also required a huge amount of spirit energy. And what these spirit herbs were absorbing, it was obvious¡­ ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll just sell them together.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. He didn¡¯t think so. Although digging up people¡¯s graves was a little immoral, if they could obtain a spirit rank 7 spirit herb, it wasn¡¯t unacceptable. ¡°Stop¡­¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to move forward and start picking, a loud shout was heard. At the same time, it was accompanied by an intense spatial fluctuation. ¡°Who is it?¡± Jiang Xiyue instantly became alert. She held the sun spear in her hand and stared at a space behind her. The voice came from there. ¡°Don¡¯t do it,¡± Lin Mo hurriedly said and stopped Jiang Xiyue. ¡°It¡¯s sister Bai Luo¡¯s voice,¡± Lin Die said excitedly. They shared the same divine sense and had cultivated together, so they were very familiar with each other. The space fluctuated and became unstable. Cracks appeared and gradually expanded. When it was about the same size, a white figure flew out and passed through space, appearing in front of everyone. ¡°Phew, long distance teleportation is really uncomfortable¡­¡± Bai Luo complained as soon as he appeared. ¡°Eh, I smell the aura of a treasure. What good fortune did you obtain this time? Did you leave a portion for me?¡± Bai Luo suddenly looked at Lin Mo and sensed something. ¡°We had a deal. We¡¯ll do it the old way. Hehe.¡± Bai Luo laughed and stared at Lin Mo. This gaze made Jiang Xiyue feel a little uncomfortable and stared at Lin Mo. ¡°Of course, you¡¯ll get a portion. I was worried about the auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out all of his recent gains. Of course, the most precious thing was the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. He took out 27 drops and wanted to auction them all to Bai Luo. ¡°Spirit rank 710,000 year Earth Milk, a total of 27 drops. Auctioned live, can you eat it?¡± Lin Mo looked at Bai Luo with anticipation. Chapter 390 - The Monolith Forbidden Land ¡°What did you say?¡± Bai Luo was slightly stunned by Lin Mo¡¯s expression of anticipation. He looked at the many treasures that Lin Mo had taken out in disbelief. His gaze was fixed on the 27 jade bottles at the very front. ¡°10,000 year Earth Milk, how did you find it?¡± Bai Luo muttered as he took one of the jade bottles. After confirming everything, he had no choice but to believe this fact. Lin Mo¡¯s fortuitous encounter was truly good. An Earth rank 7 treasure was an extremely precious treasure even in other continents. ¡°This is also the reason why I asked you to come. The Blood Soul Flame gave it to me, and asked me to bring Xiao Die to look for it.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t hide anything, and told her how he met the Blood Soul Flame and how he obtained the ten thousand year Earth Milk. ¡°No, the Blood Soul Flame doesn¡¯t have good intentions. It wants to devour Xiao Die,¡± Bai Luo said after listening. She explained the characteristics and effects of the Blood Soul Flame to everyone. It was similar to what Lin Mo had obtained previously. Although the Blood Soul Flame had intelligence now, it could only reach this level of intelligence. Only by devouring rare beasts and treasures that were born from the same innate state could it transform into a human form and give birth to intelligence that was no weaker than humans. ¡°It probably doesn¡¯t know about your relationship with Xiao Die. This is also your luck. Once it knows that you won¡¯t bring the radiant fire demon, it will directly devour you, not to mention giving you the ten thousand year Earth Milk.¡± Bai Luo was a little envious. This kind of opportunity wasn¡¯t something that could be found anytime. ¡°So, how much do you think I should set the price?¡± Lin Mo asked. With so many Earth rank 7 treasures, Bai Luo probably didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones on her. ¡°Earth rank 7 treasures contain primal chaos energy and Mother Nature Essence. Although there¡¯s only a small amount, it¡¯s still worth quite a bit.¡± ¡°If you were to auction it normally in the future, it would be around 200,000 high grade spirit stones per drop. However, this item is priceless.¡± Bai Luo estimated that anything that could be related to the primal chaos energy and the Mother Nature Energy would be extremely valuable. ¡°200,000 per drop? Even if I were to give you a discount, 27 drops would cost at least 3.7 million high-grade spirit stones, right? Do you have any?¡± Lin Mo swallowed his saliva. He was a little nervous that he would be able to obtain such a huge sum of money in such a short period of time. How many high-grade spirit stones did Bai Luo bring out this time¡­ ¡°It¡¯s very obvious. I don¡¯t. I took out 100,000 high-grade spirit stones this time, and I used quite a lot of them.¡± She spread out her hands. Strictly speaking, she couldn¡¯t even afford a single drop, even if Lin Mo had given her a 30% discount. ¡°If you don¡¯t have any, you¡¯d better devour these ten-thousand-year-old Earth Milk drops.¡± Jiang Xiyue said. At most, he would give Bai Luo a drop. The rest would be devoured by Lin mo. this way, he should be able to break through to Nirvana realm. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You can owe me first. I¡¯m not worried that you¡¯ll go back on your words.¡±Lin Mo waved his hand indifferently. With the system in hand, as long as he successfully auctioned it, there would be no loss. ¡°Humph, I never go back on my words. I¡¯ll give you a large-scale spiritual mine for these treasures.¡± Bai Luo snorted and took all the treasures on the ground. ¡°Where do you plan to get a large-scale spiritual mine?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. Lin Mo needed cultivation resources now, so he couldn¡¯t wait for too long. ¡°There is a large-scale spiritual mine in the Yan Huang Dynasty. However, it is blocked by an ancient array formation, so no one can mine it. ¡°But I have a way. I can let you go directly to the center of the spiritual mine and cultivate there. It won¡¯t be a problem for you to break through to Nirvana Realm.¡± Bai Luo said confidently. A large-scale spirit mine could be worth more than three million high-grade spirit stones. ¡°You mean the Monolith Forbidden Land? Are you sure? There¡¯s a killing formation left behind from the ancient times guarding that place.¡± Jiang Xiyue was shocked and very suspicious. ¡°The Monolith Forbidden Land? What kind of place is that?¡± Yan Rong and Jiang Xiyue were both very shocked. On the contrary, Lin Mo and Lin Die looked confused. After that, Jiang Xiyue explained, ¡°The Monolith Forbidden Land can even be said to be the largest spirit mine in the eastern continent.¡± ¡°There was once an expert at the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm who wanted to barge in. In the end, he was heavily injured and returned. Not long after, he died.¡± ¡°He left behind a message saying that it was a spirit mine in the Monolith Forbidden Ground. The spirit mine contained around four million pieces of high-grade spirit stones.¡± This was a shocking number. Back then, the people of the eastern continent believed that the secret of the Immortal Ascension platform was hidden there. However, this was only a guess. Although many people believed it, they didn¡¯t dare to try it. That place was the burial ground of a ninth sky expert of the Nirvana Realm. When a peak expert reached the end of their lifespan, they would head to the rock forbidden ground in an attempt to break the ancient formation. However, without exception, none of these people were able to walk out alive. ¡°Are you really sure that you can break the formation?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked Bai Luo after she finished speaking. She couldn¡¯t be careless about this matter. It was related to Lin Mo¡¯s life and death, so she had to figure it out. ¡°I can¡¯t break it. I just need to make a hole for you to go in,¡± Bai Luo said. She had gone to check it out before, but because she thought that she had enough spirit stones at that time, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to this spirit mine. As for what kind of inheritance the so-called ninth sky of Nirvana realm experts would leave behind if they died in it, she didn¡¯t care even more. She didn¡¯t lack martial arts and cultivation techniques. ¡°Then how do we get out later?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°More than four million high-grade spirit stones. It¡¯s not a simple breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.¡± ¡°What level is the cultivation technique derived from your God Devouring Body now?¡± Bai Luo asked. During the process of growth, the God Devouring Body would constantly devour energy to perfect itself and form a supreme cultivation technique. Lin Mo had devoured so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures, so his level must not be low. ¡°It should be around half-step to Earth rank. The level is very vague and not very certain,¡± said Lin Mo. . The God Devouring technique was very magical and could evolve on its own. This was Lin Mo¡¯s favorite. ¡°After breaking through to Nirvana realm, the remaining spiritual energy will help you condense a cultivation technique rune. It will be of great benefit to your cultivation in the future.¡± Regarding the God Devouring Body, her family also had records. She had browsed through it when she was free and knew a little about it. ¡°What level can it be upgraded to?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. A half-step to earth rank cultivation technique had already benefited him greatly. What if it was Earth rank? ¡°I don¡¯t know, but the cultivation of the god devouring body will be accompanied by danger. You have to be prepared.¡± Bai Luo waved his hand and said. ¡°No problem, deal.¡± Lin Mo smiled and agreed to this method of payment. At the same time, the system¡¯s notification finally sounded, causing Lin Mo to be filled with anticipation. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the Earth rank 710,000 year Earth Milk ] [ You have successfully triggered the 7,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth Grade 9 Chaos Spirit Water ] Chaos Spirit Water was a treasure that was born in a place with dense chaos energy, and was nourished by the chaos energy. Such a treasure could only be found by chance, yet Lin Mo managed to obtain 27 drops in one go. ¡°Perfect, this time I¡¯ve profited greatly.¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. Bai Luo¡¯s arrival was too timely¡­ Chapter 391 - Spirit Gathering Ground ¡°What are you laughing at? How can you laugh at a discounted price?¡± Bai Luo rolled her eyes at Lin Mo. . If the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk were to be auctioned off in other continents, 200,000 would only be the starting price. Such a treasure that could only be found by chance would cause a huge commotion. However, this was the eastern continent, and Lin Mo didn¡¯t dare to sell it. ¡°It¡¯s fine. If you can really help me take down the Monolith Forbidden Ground, then I will definitely make a huge profit.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and said. Although all natural treasures contained this pure spirit energy, spirit stones were the most concentrated spirit energy in the world. Even if he swallowed these 27 drops of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk, it would still be equivalent to one million high-grade spirit stones. This was far from being able to compare to the benefits brought by a large-scale spirit mine. ¡°Big Brother, sister Bai Luo, stop chatting for a while. can these spirit herbs be picked?¡± Lin Die pointed at the tomb in front of them. There was still a pile of spirit herbs growing there. Although the fragrance was charming, there was also a bit of strangeness. ¡°Of course not. Fortunately, I came in time this time. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid someone will die here.¡± Bai Luo said. This place had been set up with a killing array. It was at least a 7th tier spirit grade, specifically waiting to kill creatures. ¡°This place is a spirit gathering place. It uses spirit herbs as bait to attract living creatures,¡± She explained to everyone. This kind of grave was mostly created by some spirits. Their purpose was naturally to use the living creatures¡¯ life force to maintain themselves and not dissipate. ¡°Below this grave should be the hiding place of the spirits. We can¡¯t afford to provoke them, so we should retreat.¡± Although this formation allowed the souls of the dead to live for a long time, it also restricted its movements. It couldn¡¯t come out, so it didn¡¯t need to pay attention to it. ¡°There¡¯s such a way to survive?¡± Lin Mo was surprised. His knowledge had increased once again. ¡°Rather than saying that it will live for a long time, it would be better to say that it is imprisoning itself. Then it would be better to die¡­¡± Lin Die muttered. Without freedom, what was the point of living. ¡°Who knows? Maybe this person is afraid of death.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and the few of them left the place together. ¡°Oh right, what should you do next?¡± Lin Mo asked. Bai Luo used an ultra-long distance teleportation array to travel through the spatial passage. If he wanted to return, he would also need a teleportation array. ¡°What else can I do? I¡¯ll be trapped with you guys. It just so happens that I¡¯m very interested in that Dao Conference.¡± Bai Luo chuckled and wanted to get involved. ¡°Of course you¡¯re welcome. I can handle the identity issue.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. With another expert accompanying them, their safety would be guaranteed. While they were on their way, Lin Mo asked Bai Luo if she knew what the chaos in the eastern continent meant. Jiang Xiyue also asked what the origin of the chaos in the Yanhuang Divine Empire was. After all, her army was all raised here. ¡°No comment.¡± Bai Luo smiled mysteriously and only replied with two words. No matter how much Lin Mo asked, she refused to reveal anything. ¡°Alright, all of you want to ascend to the immortal foundation, but the immortal foundation isn¡¯t that easy to break through. Just wait.¡± Bai Luo was annoyed by the questions. In the end, she had no choice but to remind Lin Mo to pay attention to his foundation and not to make any sudden breakthroughs. ¡°Of course, you are an exception. As long as you have a chance to break through, you must seize it.¡± The last sentence was directed at Lin Mo, allowing him to only occasionally temper his foundation. ¡°The God Devouring Body has given you powerful combat strength, but there are others who are as good as you if not better.¡± Bai Luo said. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡±Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. He felt that it was necessary to auction off information regarding the God Devouring Body. ¡°You¡¯ve leveled up quite a lot, haven¡¯t you? But your foundation is more stable than Jiang Xiyue¡¯s and mine. Why do you think that is?¡± Hearing that, Lin Mo instantly understood that the foundation was very important. This was also the reason why he had rebuilt his cultivation base many times. ¡°That¡¯s right. The God Devouring Body will help you refine your foundation. Therefore, you only need to rebuild it once in a while.¡± This was the biggest benefit of the God Devouring Body. Otherwise, this physique couldn¡¯t be called heaven-defying, let alone named the God Devouring Body¡­ ¡°Moo!¡± While they were still chatting, a cow¡¯s moo came from afar. The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the mountains collapsed. There were still many human figures fleeing in all directions. A thousand-meter-tall golden ox trampled over the mountains and came over. Its entire body emitted a fierce aura, and its aura was terrifying. This made many people frightened. They were originally searching for treasures while hurrying on their way, but they didn¡¯t expect to disturb this golden ox. At first, some people wanted to besiege it, but they were soon defeated. The Golden Ox was at the first sky of the Nirvana realm and was too powerful. These people were no match for it. In the next second, more than ten people were buried under the golden light of the Golden Ox, which scared the others so much that their faces turned pale. ¡°Wow, Golden Ox, fat ox hotpot, good ingredients.¡± Bai Luo was envious. The long-distance teleportation array had made her suffer enough. Now, she really wanted to eat a big meal to replenish her energy. ¡°Its inner core is very precious. Yan Rong, it¡¯s perfect for you to absorb,¡± Jiang Xiyue raised her head and said. On the other side, Lin Mo and Lin Die had already raised their weapons and charged forward. Under Bai Luo¡¯s influence, the two of them had also fallen in love with this delicacy. ¡°Yan Rong, you attack from afar and assist us,¡± Bai Luo said to Yan Rong as he charged forward with his spear in hand. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue, Bai Luo was the main attacker while Lin die attacked from afar. They did not dare to forcefully intervene. As for the others, when they saw that someone actually wanted to kill the Golden Ox, they felt a wave of disdain and ran away in ecstasy. ¡°No, it¡¯s the eighth princess and Lin Mo from the ranking list.¡± Some of the people who ran away were shocked when they saw the people who charged forward. Some of them were people from the imperial palace. Their parents were ministers in the imperial palace, so they naturally didn¡¯t want anything to happen to the princess. ¡°Eighth princess, retreat quickly. This is a golden ox at the first sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± A few of the youths said with panic on their faces because they saw the golden ox¡¯s iron hooves were about to hit Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Hold on.¡± Lin Mo came in front of Jiang Xiyue. The two of them used their weapons to block and forcefully caught the iron hooves. Their bodies fell rapidly. Seeing that they were about to be trampled into the ground, the Golden Ox let out a pained howl. ¡°Moo¡­¡± Bai Luo held the sun spear in her hand and stabbed it into the Golden Ox¡¯s right eye, fresh blood spurting out. In the next moment, the Kun Peng Wings on her back appeared and she disappeared in an instant. Her speed was extremely fast. ¡°Sister Bai Luo is so annoying, snatching my weapon¡­¡± In the distance, Lin Die ran to Yan Rong¡¯s side with a displeased expression. Her earth rank 3 radiant sun spear had been taken by Bai Luo. Without a weapon, she wouldn¡¯t be able to break through the Golden Ox¡¯s defense, much less participate in the battle. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, you have to be magnanimous. I¡¯ll treat you to a drink later.¡± Bai Luo chuckled. An Earth rank 3 spear, one could imagine its offensive power. She didn¡¯t even use her martial arts, directly injuring the Golden Ox. ¡°Good weapon, where did you get it?¡± Bai Luo asked Lin Mo, who was flying towards her. ¡°No comment.¡± Lin Mo replied back to Bai Luo¡¯s words. ¡°Tch, forget it.¡± The two of them still had time to chat while fighting. This caused the golden ox to be enraged and let out a furious roar. Chapter 392 - Your Foundation Is Everything Although Jiang Xiyue¡¯s speed was a little slow, the dragon¡¯s might that was faintly emitted from her body was extremely intimidating. Therefore, the Golden Ox didn¡¯t dare to casually attack Jiang Xiyue. It could only continuously attack Lin Mo and Bai Luo. ¡°This¡­¡± Wasn¡¯t the eighth princess ranked sixth on the Board of Fame? How did she display such powerful battle prowess¡­ Some people returned because they realized that the golden ox couldn¡¯t do anything to Lin Mo and the other two. ¡°Why do I feel that the eighth princess and this Lin Mo¡­ Aren¡¯t inferior to the crown prince¡­¡± Someone said in a trembling voice. ¡°Shut up, you can¡¯t say these words carelessly.¡± The people around him immediately stopped them. Many people knew that the eighth princess was competing for the throne. If the crown prince found out about this, they would probably lose their little lives. ¡°The eighth princess has hidden herself so well¡­¡± This was what they were thinking. Since the Jingdou Dao conference was about to begin, it was likely that the other princes would also reveal their trump cards. ¡°Moo!¡± The Golden Ox let out an angry roar. The golden light on its body shone brightly. The horn on its head broke away, and it actually chased after Bai Luo to assassinate her. The Golden Horn was extremely sharp. If one was stabbed, one would most likely die on the spot. ¡°This horn is not bad. It¡¯s a good material for forging weapons,¡± Bai Luo commented. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t dodge it, she raised her radiant sun spear and attacked. The power of an Earth grade 3rd tier magic tool was displayed. ¡°Clang!¡± The spear was undamaged. On the contrary, the sharp part of the horn was broken. The Golden Ox¡¯s powerful attack was blocked just like that. ¡°Bang!¡± However, Bai Luo didn¡¯t feel good either. The long spear absorbed all the damage, but the rebound force still sent her flying. Her body fiercely smashed into a huge mountain peak, shattering it without stopping. After smashing three mountain peaks in a row, Bai Luo finally stabilized her body. She rubbed her numb fist and praised. ¡°Amazing. Among the first sky of the Nirvana realm, you can also be considered to be at the top.¡± ¡°Hehe, this is even better. Fat Ox Hotpot, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Lin Mo laughed as he slashed down with the Ancient Sword of Desolation. Streams of sword qi tore through the sky and opened several wounds on the Golden Ox¡¯s body. On the other side, Jiang Xiyue also used the fire spirit fan to stir up the flames. The flames burst out and formed a fire dragon that fiercely hit the Golden Ox¡¯s body. ¡°Pfft.¡± This time, the Golden Ox was severely injured. The horns that flew out were also shattered and it was seriously injured. At the same time, its eyes turned scarlet red. These were just three ants in the Dragon Transformation Realm. They had made it suffer a great loss by relying on their magical weapons and exquisite martial arts. This made it fall into madness, and its intelligence, which was not high to begin with, completely went mad. It rushed toward Jiang Xiyue like a mad creature. Bai Luo and Lin Mo could not catch up, but Jiang Xiyue was the only one who was slower. ¡°Princess, retreat, quickly!¡± The few people who were watching the battle from afar were shocked. One could imagine how terrifying it was for a Nirvana Realm warrior to attack in anger. ¡°Stupid cow, your lifespan is coming to an end.¡± Lin Mo rushed over. The purple divine light under his feet flickered, emitting a weak purple light. This was the Qilin steps. When he took four steps, the faint image of a Qilin appeared, but Lin Mo instantly restrained it. ¡°Kill!¡± A cry came from afar. Bai Luo took action. Using the Sun spear as a medium, he used the Vermilion Bird technique, Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. The two great killing moves arrived at the same time. The long spear directly pierced through the Golden Ox¡¯s head. In the next moment, Lin Mo stepped on its head with his Qilin steps. With a thud, the Golden Ox¡¯s huge head was broken by Lin Mo¡¯s kick. It completely lost its life force. The few youths in the distance were dumbstruck. What kind of people were these? That was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse. They were killed just like that¡­ ¡°It¡¯s just a weapon advantage¡­¡± Someone said. The eighth princess treated her subordinates too well. Each of them had a super powerful magic weapon, and even the weaker Yan Rong had a spirit grade ninth grade longbow. ¡°What are you talking about? If you have the ability, take your weapon and go.¡± Lin Die turned her head and glared at the person behind her. They could be said to have saved these people. It was fine if they weren¡¯t grateful, but they still had to badmouth them. ¡°Don¡¯t mind them. Let¡¯s go. We have a feast to eat.¡± Yan Rong put away the instant shadow bow and flew forward with Lin Die. The few of them cleaned up the battlefield and found a place to start a fire to boil water. The Golden Ox was very huge. Bai Luo cut off some pieces of meat and used the remaining fire to refine a small bottle of extremely pure spiritual liquid. ¡°Hehe, this is the essence. Add it into it and it will be a great tonic.¡± Bai Luo chuckled as he took out a jar of spirit wine. The moment he opened it, the fragrance of the wine permeated the surroundings. ¡°It smells so good. What kind of wine is this?¡± Lin Mo perked up as he stared at the jar of wine. ¡°Lotus wine. Its grade is around spirit rank 5. It has the effect of calming the mind. I spent quite a bit of spirit stones to buy it.¡± Bai Luo took a sniff in intoxication and poured a cup for everyone. The few of them ate heartily while at the same time, Lin Mo asked Bai Luo some questions. ¡°Ask Qing Xi. I¡¯ve arranged for her to leave. Oh right, if you can really leave the eastern continent, go to the myriad soul tomb of the southern continent¡¯s heaven domain to look for me.¡± Bai Luo said with a smile. After hiding it for so long, she finally agreed to tell Lin Mo about her background. ¡°In the myriad soul tomb, there¡¯s a small plain. My family is inside. Show me my token and you¡¯ll be able to enter.¡± She told Lin Mo that although the world was divided into five continents, the size of the eastern continent was not even as big as the other continents. ¡°Then, other than the heaven domain, what other domains are there in the southern continent?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°There are about a few hundred domains. Some have been unified, some haven¡¯t. Some only have a sovereign power protecting one domain.¡± Bai Luo spoke with assurance and told them about the prosperity of the southern continent. At the end of his speech, even Jiang Xiyue started to yearn for the southern land. One¡¯s achievements had a lot to do with the environment. The current Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo were able to grow to the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm in the eastern land and were even at the pinnacle of this realm. However, there was no one to lead them to the next realm. This was the effect of the environment. ¡°Cultivators are meant to compete with the heavens. How can it be smooth sailing? Your eastern continent is just too easy.¡± Bai Luo was a little drunk as she muttered. ¡°When the chaos started, who knows how many people would die¡­¡± Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were shocked when they heard this. What was the chaos again? ¡°How do we avoid it?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. She had raised an army, and there were quite a few people with low talent among them. However, she didn¡¯t want to give up on her subordinates. ¡°In reality, the reason your Emperor held the Jingdou Dao Conference was to deal with this disaster.¡± Bai Luo shook her head and sighed. The disaster came from the might of heaven. If one wanted to reverse the situation with human ability, how strong would one have to be? ¡°Foundation, don¡¯t break through so easily. This is the most important thing. That¡¯s all I have to say.¡± Bai Luo reminded the foundation again. She was also very helpless. She couldn¡¯t reveal the secrets of heaven, or else she would be robbed. Therefore, she couldn¡¯t tell Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue directly. ¡°It¡¯s dangerous, but it¡¯s also an opportunity. Let¡¯s fight for it together. Keep up the good work. I¡¯ll keep an eye on you guys.¡± After saying this, Bai Luo picked up the last piece of meat in the bronze cauldron and ate it in one bite. She wiped the soup at the corner of her mouth contentedly. ¡°It¡¯s so comfortable. Yan Rong and Lil¡¯ Die, don¡¯t be lazy. Get up and cultivate. Pay attention to your foundation¡­¡± Before the break, Bai Luo reminded them of one more thing. Chapter 393 - The Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince This also made Lin Mo understand that the foundation was the key to fighting against the chaos, but he also didn¡¯t understand why. ¡°Forget it, we¡¯ll face it sooner or later.¡± After eating and drinking their fill, the few of them rested for a while and prepared to continue searching for other spiritual medicines. Although this place was a dangerous place, the danger factor wasn¡¯t very high. Basically, Nirvana stage cultivators could travel freely. And with the few of them working together, it wasn¡¯t impossible for them to fight against Nirvana Realm Warriors. After going through all kinds of dangerous situations and hunting down many demonic beasts, they obtained quite a lot of inner cores. They kept what they could cultivate and auctioned off the rest to earn some spirit stones. Lin Mo said with a smile, this preliminary selection was simply an opportunity for them. ¡°There are many people ahead, and they are still fighting.¡± Suddenly, Lin die pointed ahead and said. She sensed that there were many dangerous auras ahead, and the spiritual energy was chaotic. ¡°Looks like there are treasures. A group of people are fighting.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. For so many people to fight over it, it must be at least a fifth grade spirit grade spirit herb. ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. It would be best if we can get it.¡± After letting Lin die point the way, Lin Mo took the lead and flew into the sky. The Kun Peng flapped its wings and headed into the distance. Bai Luo and the others followed behind him at an extremely fast speed. In front of them, there were two factions fighting. Lin Mo and the others had just arrived when they discovered familiar figures. ¡°It¡¯s the fourth Prince and the seventh Prince.¡± Yan Rong said. The strength of these two princes was also at the 31st level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, their auras were very weak and their spiritual energy could not be controlled. ¡°For the sake of participating in the preliminaries, the two of them are really going all out.¡± Jiang Xiyue sighed. Among all the princes, only the crown prince had the top talent, followed by her. And because she had received a lot of unfair treatment, her combat strength was also weak in the beginning. The seventh prince, the fourth prince, and the second prince all tried their best to catch up, trying to find cultivation resources, but it was still in vain. ¡°No matter how important the acquired effort is, it can¡¯t be compared to talent¡­¡±Yan Rong sighed. The fate of these three princes was really sad. They were doomed from the moment they were born. ¡°No, it¡¯s gratifying to have high talent, but some things can not be decided by talent.¡± ¡°They are eager for quick success. They obviously have countless resources, but they don¡¯t pay attention to their own foundation. It¡¯s difficult for them to become great.¡± Bai Luo shook her head. She looked at Yan Rong and said, ¡°Now that you look back, are the people who used to have the same strength as you no longer as good as you?¡± Although Yan Rong¡¯s strength was a little lacking, he was still comparable to a holy son of a Holy Land. It might not be possible for him to be in the top ten of the ranking board, but it was possible for him to be in the top twenty. ¡°That¡¯s true¡­¡±Yan Rong nodded. Ever since he had followed Lin Mo, he had received a lot of benefits. Moreover, under the influence of Lin Mo and Bai Luo, he had unconsciously paid a lot of attention to his foundation. Therefore, his cultivation was very easy now. ¡°They¡¯ve discovered us. It seems like they¡¯re going to stop. We can go up now.¡± Lin Mo interrupted the conversation between the two. There were experts beside the fourth prince and the seventh prince. They were two youths. They were very strong, and their combat strength was extraordinary. However, they had never heard of such figures before. ¡°Royal sister, are you going to get involved as well?¡± When Lin Mo and the others appeared, the seventh Prince was the first to step forward and speak. He and the fourth Prince were a little nervous. Although there were fewer people on Jiang Xiyue¡¯s side, her and Lin Mo¡¯s battle prowess were very strong. ¡°What are the two Royal Brothers fighting about? Why don¡¯t we let sister Yu Do It?¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a smile. Lin Mo and Bai Luo separated in tacit understanding and simultaneously set their eyes on the mysterious youth beside the two princes. Yan Rong and Lin Die set their eyes on the others. Both sides were at daggers drawn and could fight at any time. ¡°Join forces¡­¡±the seventh Prince looked at the fourth prince. ¡°We¡¯ll split the treasures here in half.¡±The fourth prince nodded. The two of them instantly attacked, and the two mysterious youths beside them also moved. The four of them attacked Jiang Xiyue, wanting to take her down as soon as possible. ¡°Your opponent is me.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He waved his ancient sword of desolation, and two streams of sword Qi slashed down, stopping a youth. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of you before. Who Are You?¡±Lin Mo asked while they were exchanging blows. A genius like this shouldn¡¯t be a nobody. However, there had never been any records of him on the ranking board. ¡°Li Luo!¡± The other party said those two words cleanly. With a golden halberd in his hand, he slashed down viciously at Lin Mo. . ¡°I didn¡¯t ask for your name¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless, but he had no choice but to be on high alert. This halberd was a spirit rank rank 8 magic tool, and it was quite extraordinary. It should have been prepared for him by the seventh prince. ¡°Did you kill Yuan Cang?¡± Seeing the ancient desolate sword blocking the halberd¡¯s attack, Li Luo suddenly opened his mouth and asked. ¡°Oh, you know him?¡±Lin Mo was stunned. The other party knew Yuan Cang? ¡°In fact, I¡¯m the true sacred son of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. The one you killed was just a substitute.¡± Li Luo said another shocking piece of news. He was actually related to the Yuan Yang Holy Land. ¡°Besides, you guys are really bold. You used a third-grade earth-rank magic tool in front of so many people. Once the news spreads, Jiang Xiyue won¡¯t be able to protect you.¡± He looked into the distance, and anger gradually appeared in his eyes. The fourth Prince and the seventh prince led four powerhouses of the 31st rank of the Dragon Transformation Realm to besiege Jiang Xiyue. They wanted to take Jiang Xiyue down as soon as possible. Without the protection of the experts, the others became Yan Rong and Lin Die¡¯s toys, and were slaughtered at will. ¡°Killing all of you will be enough.¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently. Although the other party¡¯s strength was not weak, it was a pity that his strength was even stronger. ¡°God Devouring Art, God devouring body, release.¡± The battle continued, but Lin Mo activated the god devouring art and used the power of the god devouring body to devour the surrounding spiritual energy. Li Luo was shocked, realizing that his speed had slowed down, as if he had entered a swamp. The two of them were clearly at the same realm, both comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth. Why was Lin Mo so much stronger than him. ¡°Pu.¡± In less than ten exchanges, the halberd in Li Luo¡¯s hand fell off, and Lin Mo grabbed it and suppressed it. As for himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and was viciously kicked in the chest by Lin Mo, smashing the mountain behind him into pieces. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was cold. He had also realized that he was in trouble. When he had revealed the earth-grade magic tool earlier, because it was used to attack the Golden Ox, the spectators had thought that it was a spirit-grade ninth rank magic tool. Now, these people had truly felt the danger of the earth-grade magic tool. Once the news leaked out, the emperor of the Yanhuang dynasty would probably make a move against Lin die. Even Jiang Xiyue wouldn¡¯t be able to keep this magic tool. ¡°We can¡¯t let any of the people here off.¡± Lin Mo shouted loudly. At the same time, he caught up and wanted to kill Li Luo. The rest of the people¡¯s faces were pale. Even the seventh Prince and the fourth Prince¡¯s faces were ashen. This was because Jiang Xiyue had displayed an astonishing combat strength. She had already killed two powerhouses at the level 31 of the transformation dragon realm with her explosive power. These were the young powerhouses that they had spent a lot of effort to nurture. Although her combat strength was not strong, it was not considered weak either. In the end, she was like a melon being chopped by Jiang Xiyue, killing two of them in just over a dozen moves¡­ On the other side, Bai Luo had also ended the battle. The youth who was fighting with her was captured and brought over. Chapter 394 - Such Favoritism ¡°Kill Him?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°Go and ask Xiyue.¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t make up his mind either. The spiritual essence sealed Li Luo¡¯s dantian and brought him to Jiang Xiyue¡¯s side. ¡°My two Royal Brothers, do you still want to fight?¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled sweetly. Although they were few in number, none of them were weak¡­ ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± The seventh prince was in disbelief as he looked at Li Luo, who was held in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. This was the first time a genius that he had spent so much effort to nurture had joined the battlefield and was actually defeated¡­ ¡°Royal brother, can you tell us what you¡¯re fighting for now?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the treasure, and you¡¯ll let me leave with him?¡± The seventh prince¡¯s expression was unsightly, but when he saw that Li Luo had been captured, he had no choice but to compromise. ¡°I¡¯ll only let you go.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. She couldn¡¯t let Li Luo go. He was a genius with extraordinary achievements in the future. If she had already offended him, it would be best to kill him. ¡°Then I¡¯d better destroy the treasure. You know that I have a protective rune left behind by father in my body, and you don¡¯t dare to kill me.¡± The seventh prince shook his head. As he spoke, he was about to crush the ring on his middle finger. ¡°Humph, you all have such runes, but I don¡¯t. Father is really fair.¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s expression turned cold. The royal family only supported her on the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s territory. Her home was the royal palace. Why were her royal brothers able to have such resources? She was the only one who had to rely on herself. ¡°Let him go. Lin Mo needs spirit stones.¡± Bai Luo said. If it was a usable treasure, it would be the best. If it was a cultivation technique, it could also be auctioned off. ¡°Take it out and erase the soul imprint on the spatial ring.¡± Jiang Xiyue waved her hand. At this moment, the people around the fourth prince and the seventh prince had all been killed. Only Li Luo and the other youth were left. ¡°Also, if you dare to leak the matter of the Earth rank magic tool, I promise that after you hand over the magic tool, I will make your lives worse than death.¡± Jiang Xiyue threatened. Even the Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s nation-protecting magic weapon was only at the first rank of the earth-grade. If the matter of Lin Die having a third rank earth-grade magic weapon was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± The seventh prince nodded. After Lin Mo let go of Li Luo, he and Li Luo also took off their spatial rings. When Jiang Xiyue snatched it away, the seventh Prince¡¯s face was full of unwillingness. ¡°Wasn¡¯t he just robbed? Why does he have such an expression?¡± Jiang Xiyue said as she branded her soul and poured out all the treasures within. ¡°Oh my God¡­¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The few of them were dumbstruck as they looked at the treasures on the ground. There were all kinds of spiritual artifacts and spirit stones. There was even a spirit rank 7 long spear. It was pretty good. ¡°Royal brother, are you participating in the preliminary selection or are you moving¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue was speechless. Just the spirit stones alone were worth ten million middle-grade spirit stones. The spirit stones piled up into a huge mountain. The spiritual energy was abundant, and it instantly filled the entire place. ¡°What are you waiting for? Take them all. Haha, thank you, royal brother.¡± Jiang Xiyue laughed loudly and asked Lin Mo to take all the treasures. ¡°You¡¯re really rich.¡± Lin Mo put them away. Then, they turned their gazes to the other side. The fourth prince¡¯s expression was unsightly. He was very reluctant to part with them. Just like the seventh prince, he had brought his life¡¯s savings with him. ¡°Royal brothers, you really surprised me.¡± Jiang Xiyue was overjoyed. She had come to the right place this time. She had severely injured her competitors and even obtained so many resources. ¡°Here, let me and Zhao Wu go.¡± The fourth prince gritted his teeth, feeling extremely regretful. This was truly a double loss. Only one of the subordinates he had brought in had died, and the treasures he had on him were gone. ¡°That¡¯s easy to say.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. Letting the two geniuses go might cause some trouble in the future, but it wasn¡¯t unacceptable. Right now, what was most important to him was Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation resources, as well as the army he had to protect himself from the chaos. Just like the seventh prince, the fourth prince also brought along his treasures. With over 20 million middle-grade spirit stones in his bag, Lin Mo felt a little dizzy. His happiness had come too suddenly. ¡°Something¡¯s not right. Why did you bring along your spirit stones and treasures?¡± Bai Luo asked. People like them, who had their own factions, would not bring along their savings. Usually, there would be a treasure trove. It was not a wise choice to bring treasures with them. ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± The seventh Prince and fourth Prince were stunned. Soon after, the expressions on their faces became a little strange. Lin Mo saw this and could actually see some gloating within it. ¡°What do you know? Tell us.¡± He asked. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that, in order to deal with the upcoming disaster, father will send people to secretly collect the treasures in the Imperial City.¡± ¡°Sister, when you go back, you can take a look at the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s treasury. There shouldn¡¯t be anything left¡­¡± The fourth prince said. Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s expression turned ugly. She hadn¡¯t known about such important news before. ¡°Are you really his biological son?¡± Bai Luo curled his lips. This emperor was really ruthless. Was he really not afraid that his daughter would betray him? To target her like this¡­ ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m already used to it. Anyway, I¡¯m the most unpopular person.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head and asked the fourth prince and the seventh prince to leave with their people. ¡°I hope it¡¯s fine¡­ Let¡¯s see what kind of treasure they¡¯re fighting over first,¡± She said. She hoped that this treasure could make up for her loss. ¡°It¡¯s a very good treasure. Four spirit level rank 7 soul returning grass. Consuming it can allow one to travel through the void and comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth.¡± Lin Mo said. These were four treasures that had just been picked. One had to say that the fourth prince and the seventh prince were really lucky to be able to find such a good thing. However, all of this would have to be given to Lin Mo. ¡°This can only be consumed at the Nirvana realm. I don¡¯t need it. You can keep it.¡± Bai Luo shook her head. She wouldn¡¯t easily break through to the Nirvana Realm within a short period of time. Even if she had broken through, she wouldn¡¯t choose to consume the soul returning grass to cultivate. She wasn¡¯t like Lin Mo, whose God Devouring Body had created a perfect foundation for him. ¡°Soul returning flower. It seems that there are more precious treasures here.¡± Bai Luo said. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Mo asked. Bai Luo was experienced and knowledgeable, so she had the most say in this aspect. ¡°Legend has it that the soul returning flower grows in a place where the soul is silent, which is also the netherworld. It grows on the banks of the River Styx.¡± ¡°There is a type of fish that lives at the bottom of the River Styx. It is called the Yin Fish, and it contains extreme yin qi. If we can find the Yang Fish and boil them together, we can finally form the yin-yang Jade.¡± ¡°We have found a treasure. Perhaps you can really make up for your loss.¡±Bai Luo¡¯s interest was piqued. She told everyone that they were currently at a natural formation eye. This was the Yin Eye. ¡°Then is there a Yang Eye?¡± Lin Mo asked. Bai Luo nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The Yin Eye and the Yang Eye coexist and depend on each other. In the center, there is Yin and Yang qi, which is the key to refining the yin-yang Jade.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s find the Netherworld first and prepare to catch the yin fish.¡± The few of them spread out and after searching for a while, they finally found a grayish-black river in a remote place. Chapter 395 - Gathering in the Land of Extreme Yang The Netherworld was so deep that one couldn¡¯t see the bottom of it. The visibility was very low. Just as everyone got closer, they were almost frozen stiff by the cold yin energy. ¡°It¡¯s so cold¡­¡± Lin Die felt very uncomfortable. She was a huancai fire demon, and this cold yin energy was what she disliked the most. The weaker ones were fine, but the Netherworld was clearly stronger than the fire energy on her body. ¡°Are we going down to catch the Yin Fish?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. It was already so cold by the shore. If they really went down, they wouldn¡¯t be able to come up if they ran into some danger. ¡°Damn it, I forgot to bring the frost-repelling bead¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue frowned. If she could have the frost-repelling bead, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to go down to the netherworld. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, take out the soul-returning flowers,¡± Bai Luo said. She tore the four soul-returning flowers into pieces and threw them into the netherworld. Then, she took out a jade-white bowl. The mouth of the bowl lit up and fell from the sky, enveloping everyone. At the same time, their figures disappeared. ¡°Let¡¯s wait. The Netherworld is so deep that even Nirvana Realm warriors don¡¯t dare to go deep,¡± Bai Luo said. They waited for an hour. The Netherworld wouldn¡¯t flow, so the soul-returning flower floated quietly in the air. ¡°Could the yin fish be sleeping?¡± Lin die muttered softly. ¡°Don¡¯t make a sound. Be prepared to fight at any time. The Yin fish aren¡¯t weak either,¡± Bai Luo said softly. She had everyone hide by the water to make it easier for them to sneak attack. The Yin fish were very precious and it would be a waste to let one go. ¡°It¡¯s here. There¡¯s movement.¡± Lin Mo said as he noticed that ripples started to appear in the river. Small fish that were more than ten centimeters long appeared one after another. They looked very ordinary, and there were no fluctuations of spiritual energy on their bodies. However, they were able to survive in this bone-chilling netherworld. ¡°There are a total of thirteen of them. That¡¯s about enough.¡± Bai Luo said. These yin fishes had just appeared, and they had already eaten half of the soul returning flowers. ¡°Don¡¯t attack. If you kill them, you won¡¯t be able to refine the yin-yang Jade.¡± She gave a warning, and the bowls that enveloped everyone flew up, heading towards the yin fishes. ¡°Inject the spiritual essence. Jiang Xiyue, use your dragon¡¯s might to intimidate them,¡± Bai Luo said as he injected the spiritual essence with Lin Mo and the others. The jade bowl enlarged and enveloped the 13 yin fish, sealing them up and sending them flying into the bowl. However, they were also struggling crazily. No one wanted to be caught, and they were about to escape the sealing range of the Jade Bowl. ¡°Roar.¡± Suddenly, a dragon¡¯s roar sounded. These yin fish were spiritual objects after all. They were stunned for a moment when they were faced with the pressure of a superior. It was also at this moment that they lost their resistance and fell into the Jade Bowl. Bai Luo took the jade bowl and poured some river water into it, setting up an obscure seal. ¡°Perfect. Let¡¯s not talk about other things. These yin fish are worth about thirty million middle-grade spiritual stones.¡± She handed it to Jiang Xiyue and smiled. ¡°Your treasury is worth about the same. Now, I can make up for it.¡± Jiang Xiyue finally smiled, but she still shook her head and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s Treasury doesn¡¯t even have 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones¡­¡± ¡°Then what are you worried about?¡± Bai Luo asked. Then, she looked at Lin Mo and teased, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he and I are just ordinary business partners. We won¡¯t fight over it with you.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes and said, ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. I used all my spirit stones¡­¡± ¡°You mean, the army you raised?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He finally understood why Jiang Xiyue was frowning. The emperor searched her treasury, but he couldn¡¯t even find 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones. As for Jiang Xiyue¡¯s business, one could imagine the wealth Yue Xuan had accumulated. The flowing funds were at least a few hundred million middle-grade spirit stones. It could be said that she was as rich as a country. It was no wonder that the emperor would be concerned about her. However, Lin Mo knew clearly what Jiang Xiyue¡¯s spirit stones were used for. Putting everything else aside, just the flame god army alone would consume 100 million middle-grade spirit stones a year, not to mention the other armies. ¡°You have an army, and you¡¯re planning to rebel?¡± Bai Luo was taken aback. He didn¡¯t expect to hear such news. ¡°It¡¯s normal for you to rebel. You¡¯ve been treated differently since you were young. If it were me, I would rebel as well.¡± Yan Rong and Lin Die nodded in agreement. ¡°Will the army be found out?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡± I¡¯ve hidden the army in a dangerous land, so they won¡¯t be able to find it,¡± Jiang Xiyue replied. She had bought a lot of cultivation materials. As long as she checked it out, she would be able to find it. It was inevitable that she would suspect that she was raising an army. However, it was hard to say whether she could find the hiding place of the army. ¡°Cultivate hard. When the disaster arrives, you can raise the army,¡± Bai Luo said. The disaster came from the sky. Under the might of the sky, they were all ants. ¡°I hope so.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. She had been hiding well, but in the end, such a problem occurred. After some rest, they followed Bai Luo to the other side. Lin Die became abnormally active when they arrived here. Even Lin Mo felt a little comfortable. The temperature here had started to rise, and there was a lot of elemental spiritual energy in the flames. ¡°It¡¯s really rare to find a place where the yin and yang are cold. It¡¯s a pity that the place is too small, and the yin and yang fish that are born here are too small. Otherwise, it would really be a peerless treasure.¡± Bai Luo sighed. She had not made a loss this time, even though she had used up an extremely long distance teleportation array. ¡°But why are there so many people here? The yang fish shouldn¡¯t have been caught completely, right?¡± in Mo said. Unlike the extreme yin place, there were many people here, and the surroundings weren¡¯t that dangerous. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what happened here? Why is it so lively?¡± Yan Rong took the initiative to step forward and grabbed a person to ask. ¡°You still don¡¯t know. This is a special cultivation treasure ground. It has a very good effect on fire attribute cultivation methods or martial arts.¡± That person continued to say. If a Dragon Transformation Tealm Tier 31 powerhouse came, he might be able to comprehend the fire law again. Breaking through to the Nirvana Realm in one leap, and then breaking through in such an environment, would be very helpful for future cultivation. Even if he couldn¡¯t break through to the Nirvana Realm, he would choose to cultivate here and use the flame essence qi to increase his chances of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm in the future. ¡°Yes, indeed, the extreme yang land does have such an effect. It can be used for people to cultivate.¡± Bai Luo nodded. It was normal for so many people to gather here. ¡°Oh right, you guys came at the right time. There are many people trading treasures in the central area. If you are interested, you can go and take a look.¡± That person said and quickly left the place. It was obvious that he was going to trade treasures as well. ¡°Since there are people gathered here, we can go to an auction to clean up the treasures that we don¡¯t need.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to hold an auction in the primary selection. It just so happened that he had quite a lot of treasures in his hands. ¡°I hope that someone will sell the yang fish, or that no one will be able to scare the yang fish¡­¡± Bai Luo said with a frown. Pure yin fish and yang fish were very limited, and the price would be greatly reduced. Only by refining it into yin-yang Jade could it make the most of its value. Chapter 396 - Start the Auction The few of them came to the temporary trading area. They did not expect so many people to gather there. They were all young geniuses from the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°They are all people with extraordinary statuses. There are no itinerant cultivators,¡± said Yan Rong. ¡°That¡¯s normal. With the existence of the ban, it will be a little difficult for itinerant cultivators to grow,¡± said Lin Mo. If he didn¡¯t have the system and stood with Jiang Xiyue, it might be difficult for him to grow as well. ¡°Stop chatting. This trading zone is interesting. There really are some extraordinary treasures.¡± Bai Luo said. They walked to the front of a vendor and scanned the area. There were many treasures placed in front of them. Some of the old items were clearly old. They were faintly emitting shocking fluctuations and were very extraordinary. Lin Mo went forward and picked up a rusty broken sword on the ground. The blade of the sword was already broken, and there were even cracks on it. The only thing that proved that it was extraordinary was the murderous aura that could be felt when one approached it. ¡°This friend really values this broken sword. To be honest, I picked it up at the edge of a cliff. It¡¯s very sharp.¡± ¡°Friend, you can give it a try. It¡¯s definitely able to cut through iron like mud, and it¡¯s invincible. I reckon that at its peak, this should be an earth rank magic tool.¡± The stall owner saw that Lin Mo was interested in this broken sword and said with a smile. No one in the Yanhuang Divine Empire could forge an earth grade magic weapon. What was left behind were all ancient items. Only some dangerous places and dangerous situations could have remnants. For him to be able to find a remnant weapon was enough to show just how lucky this man was. ¡°I wonder if I can sell off a complete earth grade magic weapon. This remnant is too serious.¡± Lin Mo frowned. There was no doubt that this was an earth rank magic weapon. However, since it was severely damaged, it was unlikely that it would get a full return. In fact, it might even fail to sell. The gains would not make up for the losses. ¡°Can I use my own method to appraise it?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He was worried that he might have missed out on something, so he decided to check it out in the system space. ¡°No problem. However, don¡¯t damage it. This item is worth five million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The man said with a faint smile. He gestured for Lin Mo to use it as he pleased. Seeing this, Lin Mo let out a cold laugh. His soul power spread out, concealing the fluctuations of the broken sword. The next moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out. [ Dark spirit sword, Earth grade tier 1 magic tool, over 80% damaged. Currently, it¡¯s a spirit rank 3 magic tool. ] After hearing this, Lin Mo took it out, placed it on the stall, and left with Jiang Xiyue and the others. Selling a spirit rank 3 magic weapon for 5,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones, this price of 500 times was a little too much. Seeing that Lin Mo had given up without damaging the broken sword, the man curled his lips and sat back down. The group of people shuttled through the trading area, buying some spirit herbs and spirit pills for their cultivation. There were many ancient items here, all of which originated from this dangerous land, and had been dug up by these people. Although they were ancient items, they were all defective. Some of them had even been scrapped. These people had marked them at a high price, trying to scam people. ¡°Why isn¡¯t anyone selling fire attribute inner cores?¡± Lin Die said unhappily. After walking around for such a long time, they hadn¡¯t met a single vendor who sold fire attribute inner cores. was their luck that bad? ¡°This is the land of extreme yang. Those who can come here to cultivate are mostly of the fire attribute. Who would sell them when they need them?¡± Lin Mo said nonchalantly. He didn¡¯t need the inner core. What he lacked the most were spirit stones. ¡°Shall we set up a stall?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. Lin Mo had a lot of good things on him, and he also had the collections of the seventh prince and the fourth prince. Setting up a stall would attract a lot of people. ¡°He wants to auction. He won¡¯t do such a loss-making business like setting up a stall,¡± Bai Luo said with a chuckle. Ever since he met Lin Mo, it seemed like this fellow¡¯s method of obtaining resources was to auction. He would take out good items and let countless people compete for them. Unless he was selling them to an acquaintance, this fellow would never make a loss. ¡°That¡¯s fine too. I hope those fellows won¡¯t cause trouble.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. She didn¡¯t bring her subordinates in. She didn¡¯t even bring Qianqian along. If she were to clash with others, she would definitely be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. ¡°Let¡¯s choose this place. As long as there are guests, we¡¯ll be able to bid wherever we go.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Through his selection, he took out some treasures. In an instant, treasure lights filled the air. Blades, spears, swords, and staffs. Every single magic artifact was incomparably powerful. ¡°Heavens, so many magic artifacts. Who is this person? How could he have obtained so many resources?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Lin Mo, ranked eighth on the Board of Fame. That¡¯s the eighth princess. I didn¡¯t expect the eighth princess to come here as well.¡± ¡°No wonder she took out so many magic tools at once. Is she planning to sell them?¡± Some people were attracted by the radiance of the magic tools and gathered around to look at Lin Mo. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin, you¡¯ve really made it easy for me to find you. I haven¡¯t fulfilled my promise of a duel yet¡­¡± Just as the crowd gathered around, a light chuckle rang out as several figures flew over from afar. ¡°Royal sister, long time no see. How are you?¡± Among the crowd, the tenth princess was the most attractive. She had a chilly aura around her and snowflakes were floating around her. ¡°Sorry for the joke, Royal Sister. I¡¯ve been busy with my cultivation and haven¡¯t been to your place as a guest for a long time,¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a faint smile. She and the tenth princess had a good relationship and could talk well. ¡°Greetings, Your Highness.¡± The people around the tenth princess bowed, including the man who had just spoken. His body exuded an extremely strong fighting spirit. Although he bowed respectfully, the fighting spirit in his bones was also very strong. ¡°You¡¯re the Thunder Saint Son, Ji Zixiao?¡± Lin Mo finally reacted and recognized the person in front of him. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin, could it be that noble people forget too much and forget about the duel that they agreed to?¡± Ji Zixiao laughed loudly. He had come the day before the start of the primary selection, so his goal was naturally to fight Lin Mo and satisfy his desire for battle. Who knew that Lin Mo would be in closed-door cultivation at that time, and he would not be able to enter the Purple Moon Palace, so he could only be anxious. ¡°Brother Ji, if you don¡¯t mind, we can have a sparring session right now,¡± Lin Mo said. He had indeed forgotten about the duel that he had agreed to. He had been busy with his cultivation back then, so he had forgotten about it. ¡°How can I do that? I don¡¯t like it when it¡¯s too late. However, since you have something to do, let¡¯s talk about it next time.¡± Ji Zixiao was straightforward. He knew that Lin Mo wanted to sell his treasures, so he did not want to drag Lin Mo into a duel. ¡°Sure,¡± Lin Mo replied before turning to look at the crowd. ¡°Everyone, there are a total of ten magic artifacts here. I¡¯ll sell them as an auction. If you¡¯re interested, you can bid for them. If you don¡¯t have enough spirit stones, you can exchange them with treasures of equivalent value.¡± After explaining, Lin Mo kept the artifacts by his side and prepared to hold an auction. ¡°Wait a moment. The rules of this auction don¡¯t say that it can be auctioned. Just mark your price clearly. I will support you later.¡± At this moment, a discordant voice sounded. A few youths gathered together and stepped forward. Their gazes weren¡¯t very friendly. This was especially so when they looked at the artifacts by Lin Mo¡¯s side. The greed in their eyes wasn¡¯t concealed at all. Chapter 397 - Be Careful in Your Next Life ¡°Oh ho, trouble is upon us¡­¡± Bai Luo said with a light laugh. Although the auction would be the most profitable, it was also easy for people to be jealous. After all, one would not reveal one¡¯s wealth. ¡°With this kind of strength, brother Yan Rong and I can take care of it.¡± Lin Die curled her lips. These people were only led by a powerhouse at Tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Although there were more than ten people, they were just some small fries. ¡°Don¡¯t make a move. If the Sun Spear is exposed, we¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡± Lin Mo stopped Lin Die. He could not let this young lady make a move. ¡°It¡¯s impossible to put a price on it. If you¡¯re interested, you can come and bid. I¡¯m open to it at any time,¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°Hehe, of course I have to participate. However, my young master feels that this treasure of yours is fated with him. If he wants to buy it from you, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to wait for the auction.¡± That person sneered and raised his hand to point. A young man walked out from the distance. He looked at Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo, salivating. ¡°Who is this?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was a face he had never seen before. He raised his head to look at Jiang Xiyue, only to find that she was also at a loss. She didn¡¯t know this person at all. ¡°Yan Rong, do you know him?¡± Lin Mo asked again. Yan Rong shook his head. ¡°Even the princess doesn¡¯t know him. How could I know him?¡± ¡°Stop guessing. I¡¯m not from the Yanhuang dynasty. I¡¯m from the Great Ancient Ancient Empire.¡± That person laughed lightly. When he walked up, there were more than a hundred people behind him. They were between the ages of twenty and thirty. It was no wonder that this person was so confident. Because other than him, there were a total of nine people at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With such strength, he could even take down a great city in the Yanhuang dynasty. ¡°Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Yong, a descendant of the Liu family of the Great Ancient Divine Empire.¡± He smiled faintly and strode forward. ¡°Sigh, it seems like I can¡¯t even sell it properly.¡± Lin Mo sighed. At this moment, Liu Yong had already walked not far ahead of him and was about to reach out and take a long spear away. ¡°Are you courting death¡­¡± He sneered and instantly unsheathed the Ancient Sword of Desolation. Boundless spiritual energy adhered to it, causing it to emit a strange radiance. ¡°Buzz!¡± The sword energy rumbled, and even space itself could not withstand it. It slashed towards Liu Yong¡¯s outstretched hand. This sword was very clever. If he was really hit, Liu Yong would probably have to leave a hand behind. ¡°Eh, aren¡¯t you a rogue cultivator?¡± Liu Yong was stunned. He was obviously shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s clever attack. If he did not retreat now and parry this sword head-on, his hand might really be chopped off. Moreover, there was Jiang Xiyue eyeing him covetously not far away. At first, he thought that among these people, only Jiang Xiyue could fight with him. After all, the Yanhuang dynasty had a ban, and Jiang Xiyue wasn¡¯t favored. With limited resources, it was impossible for her to nurture a top-notch genius while supporting her cultivation. ¡°Hmph.¡± Liu Yong snorted coldly and withdrew his palm. In the next moment, a long spear appeared in his hand and stabbed towards Lin Mo. ¡°Clang!¡± The weapons clashed, and at the instant of the collision, spiritual energy ripples spread out. Quite a number of people in the distance were shocked by this collision. The Ancient Sword of Desolation and the long spear were pushed back at the same time. Lin Mo stood at his original spot without moving. On the other hand, Liu Yong was injured from the shock because he did not follow up with the spiritual energy. At this moment, Liu Yong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes carried some coldness as he slowly said, ¡°Give me these treasures, and I will let all of you leave safely.¡± His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it carried some pride. Even if this was the Yanhuang Divine Empire, even if he had lost the battle just now. However, his confidence wasn¡¯t just his own strength, but also these ten powerhouses at the 31st Tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Other than that, the remaining people weren¡¯t weak either. They weren¡¯t a small force. ¡°Great Ancient Divine Empire¡¯s Liu family, huh. Their background isn¡¯t small. However, your parents haven¡¯t taught you how to behave.¡± Lin Mo laughed faintly and said with a calm expression. ¡°I was just careless for a moment. Do you really think you can beat me?¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, Liu Yong¡¯s gaze completely turned cold, and the temperature in this area suddenly dropped. His long spear was a 9th tier spirit grade magical artifact, and it was quite extraordinary. At the same time, it also made Lin Mo Drool. For a moment, this place became much quieter. Quite a few people retreated, making way for the battlefield. No one spoke out to stop them. Everyone watched with interest. This was the capital¡¯s Dao conference¡¯s primary selection. Strength was the most important thing. Even if it was a group of people fighting one person, no one would care. They all knew Lin Mo¡¯s strength, and for Jiang Xiyue to be ranked ahead of Lin Mo on the ranking list, she was definitely not ordinary. At the same time, they also wanted to see just what kind of ability this person from the great ancient God dynasty had. Behind the crowd, there was also a group of people gathered. Walking at the front was a woman wearing a moon-white dress. Her face was covered by a veil, and she looked curiously in Lin Mo¡¯s direction. ¡°Saintess, although Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo are powerful, a fierce tiger can¡¯t resist a group of monkeys. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be a bit difficult to end this.¡± A man beside the woman said. He was Li Long, who had been unhappy with Lin Mo not long ago. At this moment, he looked at the situation and could not help but mourn for Lin Mo. ¡°Jiang Xiyue has hidden herself so deeply. She and Lin Mo are probably the biggest variables¡­¡± The Saintess of the divine armament, Xia You, shook her head and looked at Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. Lin Mo had an inexplicable aura on him. She could not see through it. All of Lin Mo¡¯s calculations would be devoured by the inexplicable power on his body. ¡°Saintess, you mean that Jiang Xiyue still has a trump card?¡± Li Long was shocked. Even the crown prince of the Yanhuang dynasty could not receive such an evaluation from Saintess Xia You. Jiang Xiyue was a princess that was not very favored. What right did she have? ¡°Just watch. Liu Yong is going to die¡­¡± Xia You said softly. Her gaze moved back and forth between Lin Mo and the others. However, she realized that she could not see through anyone other than Yan Rong. Especially that cheerful young lady who was wearing a white robe and teasing Lin Die. She couldn¡¯t feel any fluctuations. Putting her into the crowd, regardless of her appearance, this lady was just an ordinary person¡­ ¡°Who exactly is she¡­¡± Xia You muttered softly. At this moment, Liu Yong had already ordered his subordinates to make a move. He himself was going up against Lin Mo and wanted to kill him personally to avenge his previous humiliation. ¡°Don¡¯t hold back. Attack together. Kill that man. Leave that girl and little girl behind.¡± Liu Yong let out a lewd laugh. This scene caused Lin Mo to frown. When he saw the smile on Bai Luo¡¯s face gradually disappear, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but mourn silently for Liu Yong¡¯s subordinates. ¡°As the saying goes, an ant can shake a big tree, but it can not be seen.¡± Lin Mo said rather sympathetically, ¡°Fellow Daoist, have a safe journey to the Netherworld.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo suddenly took a step forward. His figure was like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Liu Yong. ¡°So fast¡­¡± Liu Yong was shocked, and quite a few people were also shocked. They didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to be so powerful. It seemed that the eighth place on the Board of Fame wasn¡¯t suitable for him¡­ ¡°Be careful in your next life. Don¡¯t randomly provoke others¡­¡± Chapter 398 - Protect the Reputation of the Auction House The two of them fought fiercely. Lin Mo also noticed Saintess Xia you, who was not far away. He knew that the other party was proficient in calculus, so he did not dare to use too many trump cards. After thinking about it, he hid everything and used his own combat strength to fight Liu Yong. The fierce battle lasted for more than a hundred rounds. In the end, Liu Yong was no match and was kicked in the chest by Lin Mo. ¡°Are you not convinced? Look at your men.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and motioned Liu Yong to look at his men. Ten powerhouses at Tier 31 of the Dragon TransformationRealm were defeated by Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo one by one and were all killed. As for the remaining people, Yan Rong had the support of the instant shadow bow. Basically, he could kill one person with one arrow. When Lin Mo ended the battle, Liu Yong¡¯s men had all lost their lives. ¡°How is this possible? Three top-notch geniuses¡­¡± Liu Yong¡¯s eyes were filled with unwillingness and endless regret. The others were also very shocked. They originally thought that Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue, two top-notch geniuses, were already very strong. However, they didn¡¯t expect that there was still one left. who was that white-robed woman? Why had they never heard of her before. ¡°And that Yan Rong from the Qinghuai Holy Land. He actually has a spirit grade tier 9 magic tool in his hands. How extravagant¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s even more advanced than the eighth Princess¡¯ magic weapon¡­¡± Some people were discussing. They thought that the eighth princess¡¯ spear was not even a spirit rank 9 magic weapon, but in the end, her subordinates were already using a spirit rank 9 magic weapon. ¡°It just so happens that there¡¯s a long spear here. I can give it to sister Xiyue,¡± Lin Die said excitedly. She had collected a lot of spoils of war from those people just now. They were all very useful for her cultivation. ¡°Sell them. Trust me, I can get you an earth-grade spiritual artifact,¡± Lin Mo looked at Jiang Xiyue and said. ¡°As you wish.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded, her eyes full of anticipation. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t forget about me. I want them too.¡± Bai Luo walked over from afar and threw over a few spatial rings. They were the spoils of war that she had collected. They were all here. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be lacking you.¡±Lin Mo smiled and looked at the crowd. ¡°Everyone, other than the small interlude, the auction will continue. Is there anyone willing to participate in the auction?¡± The first thing that Lin Mo took out was a spirit rank 7 spear. This was the seventh prince¡¯s collection, and it was extremely valuable. ¡°Spirit rank 7 spear. The starting bid is 2,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000.¡± The smell of blood still lingered in the air, and no one dared to step forward. Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind this and just waited. Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, another three minutes had passed. Just as Lin Mo was about to announce the end of the auction, a woman stood out and said. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 2.2 million.¡± Although bidding at this time might offend the Liu family of the Great Ancient Divine Empire. However, this was the Yanhuang Divine Empire, so even if they really offended them, they would not see each other much danger. After settling her thoughts, she chose to bid. ¡°Alright, this friend has bid 2.2 million. However, there are still people willing to bid.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Although he could obtain a rebate from a failed auction, the multiple wouldn¡¯t be very high. After all, he didn¡¯t make a loss nor did he make a profit. Now that there were people bidding, if there weren¡¯t any bids in the end, then it would be a loss. Spirit rank 7. If he were to sell it at a loss, he might be able to trigger it 10,000 times. At that time, he would be able to obtain half a step into the earth rank¡­ ¡°2,200,000 going once.¡± ¡°2,200,000 going twice.¡± ¡°Alright, since no one is bidding, then 2,200,000 going thrice, sold.¡± After Lin Mo shouted twice, he quickly said the third sentence. Some of the people who were about to bid choked for a moment before looking at Lin Mo with dissatisfaction. When they saw the lady taking out 2,200,000 middle-grade spirit stones, Lin Mo actually gave the spear to her. ¡°It¡¯s really a deal?¡± Everyone was shocked. This was too profitable! If this was a normal auction, the spear would have sold for at least 5,000,000 spirit stones. If it was something that was urgently needed, it might even sell for 6,000,000 spirit stones. Yet, it was actually taken down like this, causing everyone to feel a wave of envy. At the same time, some of them turned to look at the lady with malicious intent. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, during the auction, those who participated in the auction will be robbed. I won¡¯t just sit idly by.¡± The lady was originally a little nervous, but after hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, she turned to look at him with gratitude. It was precisely this sentence that caused everyone to calm down, not daring to act rashly. They could still vividly remember the fate of Liu Yong¡¯s 100-plus subordinates. If they were to make a move now, they would be courting death. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank 7 magic weapon spear ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000-fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a half-step Earth rank meteor spear ] [ The auction has given rise to a system mission. Do you wish to accept it? ] ¡°What mission is it?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. He did not expect the system to give rise to a mission. [ The person participating in this auction is armed with valuable treasures and has been targeted by others. Host, protect his safety and protect the reputation of the auction house. ] [ If you accept the mission. The reward for this auction will be triggered 10,000 times, and the next auction will also be 10,000 times. ] ¡°Accept, I will definitely accept.¡± Lin Mo nodded without hesitation. How could he not accept this? He was already half a step into the earth rank. If he were to trigger it 10,000 times again, wouldn¡¯t that mean that he would have to reach the earth rank 3, or even the 4th ranks. Furthermore, the next time would be 10,000 times as well. He would be able to auction off the other spirit rank 9 spear in his hands. At that time, he would be able to obtain another Earth rank 3 magic tool. ¡°I never thought that I would be able to accomplish what I promised so quickly¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. This woman who was bidding was truly a blessing to him. No, he had to properly thank her. [ The host has accepted a mission. Half-step earth rank Meteor Spear has advanced to Earth grade tier 3. ] ¡°The next auction item is a spirit grade tier 9 spear. Is anyone interested?¡± ¡°The starting price is eight million. Does anyone want to participate in the bidding?¡± Lin Mo took out the next auction item. Everyone originally thought that this magic tool was for Jiang Xiyue to use. However, they didn¡¯t expect it to be auctioned off. ¡°Are you worried that the Great Ancient Divine Empire will come to the Liu family to demand it? Your royal sister is really cautious.¡± The tenth princess said in a low voice. This was the only explanation. Perhaps, this was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s sorrow. She was not valued by the emperor. If not for her talent, she would not even have the qualifications to compete for the throne¡­ ¡°This spear is not bad. I like it. I¡¯ll bid nine million then. No one will be willing to compete with me for this treasure.¡± Ji Zixiao spoke beside the tenth princess. He also used a spear and did not have a ninth-level spirit rank magic artifact. It was already not bad that he was able to obtain one so cheaply. ¡°Brother Ji is willing to bid nine million. Is there no one willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo asked. There was only silence. No one dared to bid. The Great Ancient Divine Empire¡¯s Liu family was not someone they could afford to offend. The Great Ancient Divine Empire did not have a ban, so the Liu family was filled with experts. It could even be said that other than the imperial family, no one in the Yanhuang Divine Empire could suppress the Liu family. Ji Zixiao¡¯s actions were truly bold. ¡°Looks like there¡¯s still no one. Alright then, deal. Congratulations, brother Ji, for successfully obtaining a powerful spiritual artifact.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not mind completing the deal with Ji Zixiao. Chapter 399 - Soul Shattering Spear ¡°Why don¡¯t we stop selling it? We¡¯ve lost twice in a row¡­¡± Yan Rong said from behind. Both of the spiritual artifacts weren¡¯t weak, but he hadn¡¯t expected them to lose out. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I don¡¯t believe they can endure it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded, indicating that the auction had succeeded. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank 9 magic weapon. ] [ Triggered 10,000 times auction return. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining an Earth rank 3 magic weapon, the soul shattering spear. ] An earth rank 3 soul shattering spear. This was great. Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo¡¯s magic weapons had been obtained. All they needed now was a legitimate reason to give them. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin, you¡¯re really straightforward. I, Ji Zixiao, will definitely make friends with you.¡± Ji Zixiao was stunned for a moment when he saw that he had really obtained a magic weapon. Then, he laughed out loud. 8,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones for a spiritual artifact. Who would believe such a thing if it was spread out. However, this was the truth. This made the straightforward ji Zixiao find Lin Mo more and more pleasing to the eye. At least, compared to the crown prince who had tried to rope him in previously, he was more inclined towards Lin Mo, which was Jiang Xiyue. ¡°The next item up for auction is a spirit rank 5 ruyi staff. It¡¯s made of jade and is extremely hard. When the long staff falls, it can shatter mountains.¡± ¡°The starting price is 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo gave a simple introduction. He held a pale green jade stick in his hand as he waited for the others to bid. With the previous two auctions, those people were also eager to make a move, coveting Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual artifact. Since Lin Mo was willing to auction, and he had really completed the transaction with the previous two people. ¡°I bid 900,000.¡± A young man stepped forward to bid. He really liked this ruyi staff, and he hoped that he could buy it cheaply like the first woman. However, how could there be so many free lunches in this world? The surrounding people immediately started bidding, and the trading area became lively. Most people started to discuss. ¡°I bid 1,000,000.¡± ¡°1,100,000.¡± There were more and more people bidding, and this made Yan Rong and the others heave a sigh of relief. Finally, there were people bidding. If this continued, they would really suffer a great loss. Although these spiritual artifacts were all stolen, no one wanted to sell them at such a low price. ¡°Excuse me, aren¡¯t spirit stones enough to be exchanged with other valuable items?¡± At this moment, a woman walked forward. She was the eldest senior sister of a large sect, a figure on the ranking list. However, she was ranked in the thirties. Although she was a little famous, she wasn¡¯t very famous. ¡°Sure. If your treasure interests me, I can even give you a high price.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Bartering was also part of the rules of the auction. ¡°I don¡¯t have any treasures on me either, but I have some news. I wonder if you¡¯re interested.¡± The woman said. Then, her lips moved slightly as she sent a voice transmission to Lin Mo. ¡°Young Master Lin, when I was exploring this area, I accidentally entered a dangerous area and discovered a hot spring with a diameter of 100 meters. ¡°There are a few fish with strange shapes living in the hot spring. I heard from Saintess Xia you that these are the legendary yang fish.¡± ¡°You should be comprehending the Dao principles of the fire attribute right? This yang fish might be useful to you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Mo¡¯s heart started to beat wildly. This was way too lucky. He would be able to discover the yang fish after a little exploration. If he could really catch them, then he would be able to refine the yin-yang Jade. When the time came, he would be able to auction off the yin-yang Jade, and the treasures he would obtain would definitely be extraordinary. ¡°How many yang fish are there?¡± Lin Mo suppressed his excitement and asked via voice transmission. ¡°There are about a hundred of them, but it¡¯s very dangerous there. These yang fish are also very powerful. I don¡¯t dare to act Rashly, I only remember the location,¡± The lady replied via voice transmission. ¡°I¡¯m very interested. This wishful stick is yours.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. After the other party told him where the sunfish were, he also announced that the auction was a success. ¡°What? The auction was a success? What did she say to Lin Mo?¡± ¡°Looks like it¡¯s an incredible piece of news. Did someone intercept the voice transmission? Let¡¯s hear it.¡± ¡°Are you looking for death? Didn¡¯t you see the bloody scene just now?¡± ¡°Yeah, who dares to intercept it? isn¡¯t that just walking right into the barrel of a gun?¡± The people discussed animatedly, discussing what kind of news it was that could actually make Lin Mo directly give out a spirit rank 5 magic tool. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 5 wishful staff ] [ Successfully triggered 2,500 times the auction¡¯s return profit ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the rank 7 spirit rank Dao seeking staff ] A rank 7 spirit rank magic tool was still a staff, and no one on Lin Mo¡¯s side was able to use it. Yan Rong already had the instant shadow bow, and didn¡¯t need any other magic tools. Thus, this Dao seeking staff could only be kept for consumption. ¡°The next item up for auction is the tier 5 spirit profound yellow armor. This is originally an ordinary battle armor, but because it has been tempered by the powder of primal chaos stones, its grade has greatly increased, and its defensive power is extremely powerful.¡± ¡°However, it¡¯s a little heavy, and after wearing it, its speed will be affected to a certain extent. The starting bid is 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and each increment must not be lower than 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, someone stepped out to bid. Although this profound yellow armor had some flaws, everyone could still feel its defense. Such power was worth their bid. ¡°750,000.¡± ¡°800,000.¡± After a round of competition, the final price of this mysterious yellow armor was set at 1.1 million. After all, it had some flaws, so the price wouldn¡¯t be too high. Lin Mo was quite satisfied with this. In such a short period of time, he had earned over 10 million, which was considered not bad. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank rank 5 mysterious yellow armor ] [ Successful in the triggering of 5,000 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the spirit rank 8 battle spirit armor ] He didn¡¯t really need defensive-type spiritual artifacts, but he could still keep the spirit rank 8 spiritual artifacts. ¡°Alright, next item up for auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled, taking out many spiritual artifacts and auctioning them off. Lin Mo had obtained many spirit stones, causing countless people to be extremely envious. This time, everyone knew that Lin Mo had around 20 million middle-grade spirit stones in his hands. This rich resource was something that everyone wanted to obtain. However, due to the strength of Lin Mo and the others, no one dared to step forward and cause trouble. ¡°Alright, today¡¯s final item is up for auction. Friends who want it, don¡¯t miss it.¡± Lin Mo summoned the last ball of light behind him. The light dissipated, and what appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes was a huge golden halberd. The moment it appeared, it emitted a powerful aura. ¡°Spirit Rank 8, Golden Light Halberd. If you¡¯re interested, you can participate.¡± ¡°Starting bid, 7,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Spirit rank 8, such a level of magical artifact was rarely seen. Even the seventh Prince and the fourth Prince¡¯s collections only had this one. When he had fought Lin Mo back then, Li Luo had wielded this golden light halberd, causing him quite a bit of trouble. If not for the ancient desolate sword being extremely heaven-defying, he really wouldn¡¯t have been able to defeat Li Luo in such a short amount of time. ¡°Bastard¡­¡± At this moment, in a corner, there were four people dressed in black robes. Their expressions were gloomy as they looked at Lin Mo, who was standing at the main seat. They were the seventh Prince and the others. Chapter 400 - The Crown Prince’s ally Li Luo¡¯s eyes were gloomy. That Golden Halberd was originally his magic weapon, and the seventh Prince had spent a lot of effort to obtain it. But in the end, it had fallen into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. Those magic weapons that had just been auctioned off had all been snatched away from their hands. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. We lost. We originally thought that in the fight for the throne, the first to lose would be Jiang Xiyue. Who would have thought that it would actually be us¡­¡± The fourth Prince said dejectedly. His subordinates, who had been nurtured with so many resources, had been completely wiped out by Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. When they returned this time, the forces that supported them might turn against them as well. Moreover, all the treasures and spirit stones on their bodies had been taken away. How could they make a comeback¡­ ¡°From the looks of it, second brother won¡¯t be a match for Jiang Xiyue either. I just don¡¯t know how she¡¯s going to pass the Crown Prince¡¯s test¡­¡± The seventh prince shook his head. The competition in the future had nothing to do with them. In the future, whether they lived or died depended on the final winner¡¯s expression¡­ ¡°A spiritual grade level eight artifact. This treasure isn¡¯t bad. I¡¯ll take it. Can everyone give me some face?¡± Just as everyone was bidding, a light laugh sounded. A group of people flew over from afar. The two people in the lead were walking like dragons and tigers, chatting and laughing. ¡°It¡¯s the crown prince and the second prince.¡± Everyone was shocked. weren¡¯t these two sworn enemies? Why were they together today? Among the people fighting for the throne, the second prince posed the greatest threat to the crown prince when Jiang Xiyue had yet to make a name for herself. The two of them had always been at odds with each other. Why were they standing together today? They were chatting and laughing as if they had been good friends for many years. ¡°You guys bid 10 million, right? I bid 11 million. I want this Golden Light Halberd.¡± The crown prince walked up to the crowd and said with a faint smile. With an increase of 1 million, the price of the Golden Light Halberd was around 11 million or 2 million. Since the crown prince had said so, the crowd didn¡¯t dare to pester him and didn¡¯t bid anymore. ¡°The Crown Prince and the second prince have joined forces?¡±Lin Mo was stunned for a moment. He looked through Jiang Xiyue and realized that she had a stunned expression on her face. ¡°Looks like you guys aren¡¯t the only ones with trump cards. The crown prince also has allies¡­¡± Bai Luo whispered. Jiang Xiyue had hidden an army while the seventh Prince and the fourth Prince had secretly groomed two geniuses. Meanwhile, the crown prince had unknowingly roped in the second prince as an ally. ¡°We¡¯ll deal with whatever comes our way. Who cares?¡±Lin Die said indifferently. As long as there was still time, when she matured, they would have four extremely powerful geniuses on their side. There was no need to worry that they wouldn¡¯t be a match for her. ¡°So it¡¯s the crown prince. Since the crown prince has made a bid, then this golden light halberd will belong to you.¡± Lin Mo casually smiled and announced the end of the auction. After the last item was sold, Lin Mo obtained 33,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones and a pile of treasures with a rebate. ¡°No problem.¡± The crown prince waved his hand and threw out a cloth bag filled with 11,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. ¡°Everyone, please wait a moment. There¡¯s another special place in this area, are you interested?¡± After the auction was over, just as Lin Mo was about to leave, a cold female voice sounded. ¡°Brother Lin, please wait. You might be interested in that place. Please stay and listen.¡± Saintess Xia you appeared and stunned everyone. In terms of beauty, she was really very beautiful. She was even more stunning than Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo, just like a fairy. ¡°SAINTESS, what¡¯s the matter? Just say it.¡± Lin Mo stopped and became a little interested. It was probably not simple for Xia you to treat her like this. She was already at the Nirvana stage. If she really had a treasure, she would definitely go and get it herself. However, now that she had invited everyone to go together, it could be seen how dangerous this place was. It was probably a little difficult. ¡°Of course, not everyone can listen to this matter. Those below level 31 of the dragon transformation realm, or those who don¡¯t have the corresponding combat strength, don¡¯t go.¡± Saintess Xia you smiled and stated her request to everyone. ¡°I¡¯m thinking for your sake. That place is too dangerous.¡± Even though many people were unwilling, they had to recognize the reality. There was no need for Saintess Xia you to lie to them. Even she had to rope in her allies to explore. It was clear how dangerous that place was. After a round of screening, a large number of people were eliminated. The remaining people were all powerhouses at the 31st level of the Dragon Transformation Realm. Including Saintess Xia you, there were a total of 72 people. Each of them was a peak disciple of their respective sects or Holy Land. ¡°Yan Rong, Xiao Die, help me save a person. She¡¯s the first person to buy our auction items.¡± ¡°That person, what happened to her?¡±Yan Rong was confused. He didn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo had such a request. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re letting sister Xiyue Down,¡±Lin die said softly. ¡°Aiyo, why did you hit me?¡± Lin Die covered her forehead and screamed. She glared at Lin Mo unhappily. She was just giving him a friendly reminder, and he was actually going to hit her. ¡°What are you thinking? She bought the treasure at a low price. Someone is targeting her. In order to protect the reputation of the auction house, I¡¯ll leave this difficult task to you.¡± Lin Mo said with a dark face. This little girl really dared to think about anything. ¡°Master, how did you know?¡±Yan Rong didn¡¯t believe it and looked at Lin Mo suspiciously. ¡°Xiao Die, you taught her these crooked thoughts, right?¡±Lin Mo was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to beat the two of them up. ¡°HMPH, What Crooked Thoughts? This lady is aboveboard¡­¡± Lin Die wasn¡¯t convinced and wanted to defend herself. However, when she saw Lin Mo raise his fist and was about to knock her head, she ran away. ¡°Brother Yan Rong, run! Brother is already furious because his motive has been exposed¡­¡± Yan Rong saw Lin Mo¡¯s darkened face and jumped in fright. He quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go teach that girl a lesson¡­¡± He also ran away after saying that and did not dare to stay here. ¡°Brother Lin, your sister is really cute. You¡¯re actually willing to hit her.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was still dark when he heard a chuckle from behind him. Ji Zixiao had already arrived. He was also here to send his sister out. Ji Hong¡¯s strength did not meet the requirements, so she could not participate in the following matters. ¡°Hehe, if my sister is half as sensible as Miss Ji Hong, how can I bear to teach her a lesson?¡±Lin Mo sighed. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not a child, alright? Besides, you two are only one or two years older than me.¡± Ji Hong could not take it anymore. Why were the two of them talking about themselves as if they were children. ¡°Brother Lin, let¡¯s go in together. The duel we agreed on has to be postponed again.¡± Ji Zixiao sighed. The place that Saintess Xiyou mentioned was very extraordinary. They would not be able to have a duel before they headed there. ¡°There will be a chance next time.¡± Lin Mo smiled and headed there with Ji Zixiao. A group of people had already gathered there. He found Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo and sat down beside them. When she saw that everyone was seated, Saintess Xia you said, ¡°I won¡¯t say anything else. I checked the ancient records and found that we are in a place of yin and yang.¡± Chapter 401 - The place where Yin and yang intersected ¡°Whether it¡¯s the land of extreme yin or the land of extreme yang, both can give birth to many good things. This is something that everyone can feel after searching for this period of time.¡± ¡°Then I wonder if the place that Saintess Xia you wants to take us to is the land of extreme yang or the land of Extreme Yin?¡±The crown prince asked. Many people agreed with his question. They all wanted to know what kind of place it was. Saintess Xia you smiled at the crown prince and said, ¡°That place is the place where Yin and Yang meet.¡± ¡°I know the exact location and what treasures are there.¡± Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Many people stared at Saintess Xia you with suspicion and anticipation. They had seen the extreme yang land. There were treasures everywhere. It must be the same in the extreme yin land. Then, would they be able to find better treasures in this place where Yin and yang intersected? ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be happy. The place where Yin and yang intersected is very dangerous. The Spiritual Qi inside contains yin and yang qi, which can easily take a person¡¯s life.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still not too late to withdraw now. I can tell you clearly that even if I enter, I can only protect myself.¡± Saintess Xia you continued to speak. Even with her powerful Nirvana stage strength, she could only protect herself. It was enough to see how dangerous it was. ¡°Since it has come to this, does anyone withdraw?¡±Saintess Xia you asked. For a time, no one spoke. In the end, no one withdrew either. All of them wanted to participate. They were all geniuses. To be able to reach this point, didn¡¯t that person have extraordinary strength? They all had their own pride. Although that place was very dangerous, even a nirvana stage didn¡¯t dare to enter alone. However, the final outcome would only be known after they went. Saintess Xia you waited for a while. A satisfied smile appeared on her face as she said, ¡°Since no one is willing to retreat, let¡¯s set off immediately.¡± Without the slightest hesitation, some people quickly saw it. A group of experts that were all at the 31st level of the Dragon Transformation Realm crossed the sky. Under the lead of Saintess Xia you, they flew toward a place. ¡°We don¡¯t have Yang fish yet. Even if we go to the place where Yin and Yang intersect, we won¡¯t be able to refine the yin-yang Jade.¡± Bai Luo sent a voice transmission to Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. It would be best if they could find Yang fish on the way. ¡°The person who took away the Ruyi staff told me the location of a Yang Fish. We can go and catch some,¡±Lin Mo sent a telepathic message. It was going to be a little difficult now. The main force was obviously not going to wait for them. ¡°That¡¯s easy. Take this teleportation talisman. Go and catch the Yang Fish. Come and find us as soon as you catch it.¡± Bai Luo said and handed over a teleportation talisman. ¡°You used this to teleport before?¡±Lin Mo asked curiously. The runic patterns of this teleportation talisman were very mysterious and its grade was definitely not low. However, the energy contained within shouldn¡¯t be able to support ultra-long distance teleportation. ¡°I came here to construct a super-large-scale teleportation array. How can I only use runes?¡± Bai Luo shook her head. She told the two of them that if they wanted to teleport from the Lu Jin dynasty to the Yanhuang dynasty, even a newly ascended immortal foundation expert wouldn¡¯t be able to do so. For runes of this level, the grade must be at least at the seventh-level of the Earth realm. Also, the requirements to activate them were extremely harsh. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it anymore. Hurry up and find the yang fish. Thirteen of them must be of the same size as the yin fish. If not, you won¡¯t be able to refine the yin-yang Jade.¡± Bai Luo urged, telling Lin Mo to hurry up and catch the Yang Fish. The large group continued to advance. As for Lin Mo¡¯s departure, everyone was somewhat shocked and puzzled. Many people frowned, not understanding why Lin Mo would suddenly leave. ¡°Heh, could it be that he¡¯s afraid and doesn¡¯t dare to move forward?¡±A young man smiled disdainfully. ¡°If you can¡¯t keep your mouth shut, I can help you.¡±Jiang Xiyue¡¯s eyes turned cold as she looked at this person. That person felt a chill on his back and shivered. He took a few steps back and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. At this moment, Lin Mo followed the map in his memory and passed through the barren mountain peaks. Finally, he stopped at a valley. There was a lake here that was emitting hot air. Occasionally, there would be bubbles rising from it. ¡°This isn¡¯t a hot spring, the water isn¡¯t boiling enough¡­¡± Lin Mo was surprised. As he got closer, he really discovered the existence of a Yang Fish. It was a small red fish with similar patterns as the yin fish. It swam and played in the water. ¡°So many Yang Fish and fire attribute. If I can catch them all, it will be very helpful to my cultivation.¡± Lin Mo was ready to make his move. For safety reasons, his soul merged with the origin soul puppet and controlled it to catch them. Suddenly, a flying bird appeared above the valley. It let out a cry and dived towards the lake. Lin Mo saw the flying bird and said in shock, ¡°The second sky of Nirvana realm¡¯s scorching Sun Eagle.¡± The Yang Fish was startled and was about to escape. Lin Mo knew that he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He controlled the origin soul puppet to fly out and enter the lake. His main body joined in as well. The devouring God body domain exploded and covered the entire area. All the Yang fish were trapped and couldn¡¯t escape in time. The puppet¡¯s power was very strong, and the yang fish couldn¡¯t resist it at all. ¡°Brutal!¡± The scorching sun eagle was frightened. It grabbed one yang fish and started to struggle, breaking Lin Mo¡¯s domain instantly. The power of the confinement wasn¡¯t stable, and some Yang Fish escaped from this place. ¡°So Powerful?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. His devouring God body¡¯s domain could still hold on for a while, and he could at least catch forty to fifty yang fish. Now that the scorching sun eagle had broken it, he could only catch them as soon as possible. In the end, he used his puppet to catch fifteen Yang Fish. The others all escaped without any hesitation. ¡°Evil creature, what are you looking at? Don¡¯t tell me you want to hunt me down as well?¡±Lin Mo¡¯s face was cold. The scorching sun eagle looked at the Yang Fish that Lin Mo had put into his magic tool, its eyes filled with greed. The Yang Fish¡¯s body contained a very high concentration of energy, which was a great tonic for experts of the same attribute. It could only capture one at a time, and the rest would escape. Now that Lin Mo had so many in his hands, how could it not be tempted. ¡°That¡¯s good too. I¡¯ll kill you. I¡¯ll treat Xiyue and the others to the braised Sun Eagle.¡±Lin Mo also wanted to kill the Sun Eagle. The origin soul puppet exploded, and under Lin Mo¡¯s control, it began to attack the Sun Eagle. In response to this, the Sun Eagle did not receive it head-on. Instead, it chose to attack Lin Mo¡¯s main body, wanting to kill Lin Mo. . As long as Lin Mo was killed, this puppet would not pose any threat. However, after a huge battle, the blazing sun eagle let out a blood-curdling screech. Its body was pierced through by the origin spirit puppet, and fresh blood flowed out. ¡°What a pity, so many yang fish escaped¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. The inner core quality of this blazing sun eagle was a spirit rank 5, but compared to so many yang fish, it was still a little inferior. Regarding this, he had no other choice but to feel regretful. Just like the Yellow Springs, this lake was so deep that one couldn¡¯t see the bottom. The Yang Fish had been disturbed and had long sunk to the bottom. It was impossible for them to come up in a short period of time. He took out a silver rune and injected spiritual energy into it to activate it. In the next moment, with a flash of light, his figure disappeared. At the same time, Saintess Xia You, who was leading everyone forward, suddenly felt something and turned her head around. Chapter 402 - Nine Neonate The space cracked open and Lin Mo walked out of it. The saintess asked curiously, ¡°Brother Lin, where have you been?¡± Lin Mo smiled casually and said, ¡°Nothing much. I forgot to take care of some personal matters, so I have to leave for a while.¡± He returned to Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo¡¯s side. The two of them were looking forward to it. The only thing missing in the refinement of the yin-yang Jade was the yang fish. Nothing could go wrong. ¡°How was it? Did you catch any Yang Fish?¡±Bai Luo asked. ¡°I caught 15 of them. If I hadn¡¯t met a scorching sun eagle blocking my way, I would have caught more.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Should he say that he was lucky or unlucky. He was affected by the scorching sun eagle. He might not be lucky, but he was just in time. He didn¡¯t let the scorching sun eagle disturb the yang fish. ¡°Alright, the materials are complete. How do we refine the yin-yang Jade? What¡¯s the effect of refining it?¡±Lin Mo asked curiously. To be able to make Bai Luo care about it so much, it was evident how precious the yin-yang Jade was. ¡°Under normal circumstances, a person¡¯s body will only have one type of elemental energy. For example, Xiao Die. She is a pure fire-type.¡± ¡°Jiang Xiyue, you are a metal-type. Both of you have one type of elemental energy.¡± Bai Luo glanced at Lin mo and said, ¡°As for you, the yin-yang Jade doesn¡¯t have much value to you.¡± ¡°It is used to balance the attributes in the body. It has the effect of reconciling yin and yang.¡± ¡°However, you are a god-devouring body. All the attributes are built on the god-devouring body, so you don¡¯t need to reconcile them.¡± Bai Luo was a little envious. Although the disadvantage of the god-devouring body was obvious, it brought too many benefits. ¡°You mean that we will comprehend more attributes in the future?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Could it be that the more power we comprehend, the better? ¡°Not necessarily. You can focus on the fire path and also become a peak expert. You can find a path that suits you and cultivate all the way. It¡¯s definitely not wrong.¡± Bai Luo explained. Of course, this was still too late for them. But after refining the yin-yang Jade, it would be of great help to their future cultivation. ¡°But that¡¯s after the immortal ascension platform. Don¡¯t even think about auctioning the yin-yang Jade. It¡¯s not worth it. We can just split it and use it.¡± Because there weren¡¯t many people who knew the value of the Yin-yang jade, Saintess Xia you might know the value, but she wouldn¡¯t be willing to give a treasure that was comparable to the yin-yang Jade. ¡°Let¡¯s take it one step at a time. Let¡¯s see how many yin-yang jade we can refine first.¡±Lin Mo nodded. All of them had to have at least one piece. If they still had some left, he wouldn¡¯t mind selling it at a loss. Anyway, with the system¡¯s rebates here, he definitely wouldn¡¯t lose anything. While they were chatting, Saintess Xia you stopped in front of them. Everyone followed suit. ¡°We¡¯re here. This is the place where Yin and Yang meet.¡± Saintess Xia you said with a frown. However, the expected danger didn¡¯t appear. Instead, it was the coexistence of yin and yang Qi that gave people a very comfortable feeling. ¡°Saintess Xia you, may I ask where the danger is?¡±Someone mustered up his courage and asked. Along the way, not a single demon beast came out to stop them. The entire journey was very smooth. ¡°Could it be that our momentum is so great that the demon beasts are hiding¡­¡± ¡°Be careful, there¡¯s an enemy attack.¡± Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet cracked, and the ground sank. Boiling lava flowed out from below. Apart from that, there was also a grayish-black stream of water. It coexisted with the lava and appeared below. ¡°It¡¯s the yin-yang Lake. Be careful, there might be a big guy down there¡­¡± Bai Luo said in a low voice. Together with Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo, they quietly retreated to the outer area. This place was very strange. It was full of yin and Yang Qi, and it was a good place to refine yin and yang jades. However, under the current situation, they would probably not be allowed to refine them¡­ ¡°Everyone, be careful. There are demonic beasts below this lake. I¡¯ve been here before,¡±Saintess Xia you reminded everyone. Some people were shocked and wanted to escape. In the next moment, a terrifying burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from below. In just an instant, three level 31 dragon transformation realm geniuses had fallen. Not even ashes were left. ¡°AH¡­¡± On the other side, there were also people who were attacked. Several grayish-black demonic beasts poked out from the surface of the lake and spat out yin energy. Those who were hit were instantly frozen into ice sculptures and fell to the bottom of the lake. ¡°What Kind of demonic beast is that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so terrifying. This is at least at the second sky of the Nirvana realm¡­¡± Someone shouted. This was not something they could fight against. It was a one-sided massacre. ¡°Flood Dragon?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s side also suffered an attack. Perhaps it was because it sensed Lin Mo¡¯s powerful battle strength, the demonic beast directly rushed out. ¡°Wuwu¡­¡± The one who attacked Lin Mo was a huge head. It looked like a snake, but it did not look like one. It spat out black water and carried a lethal poison. After being hit by Lin Mo¡¯s sword, it sank to the bottom of the lake. The sound it made was like the cry of a baby. ¡°This cry¡­¡± Bai Luo¡¯s expression changed. She suddenly thought of something and shouted, ¡°Leave the area of the yin-yang Lake. This is an ancient great demon, the nine neonate.¡± Her voice wasn¡¯t loud, but everyone heard it. Some of the people who were attacked ran away, but there were still people who didn¡¯t believe it. This was because they had never heard of any ancient great demon, the nine neonate. ¡°Wu Wu¡­¡± The cries of the baby rang out once again, and the yin-yang Lake Shook. Several fireballs and water pillars spewed out, and many of the people who stayed were hit. Some people immediately screamed and fell to the bottom of the lake, losing their lives. The remaining people were frightened and hurriedly fled, not daring to stay any longer. ¡°Fellow Daoist, do you know what this is?¡±Saintess xiyou came in front of Lin Mo and the others and asked. At this moment, a huge monster drilled out of the yin-yang Lake. The monster had nine heads. It looked like a snake head and a flood dragon. It was very strange. The nine heads could spit water and fire. It was very rare for Yang and yin to coexist. ¡°There was a legend in the ancient times. There was a monster of water and fire in the world. Its cry was like that of a baby¡¯s cry. It had nine heads, so it was called the nine neonate. It spat water and Yin, and fire and Yang, and it was bloodthirsty. Wherever it went, not a blade of grass grew.¡± Bai Luo muttered to herself. The nine neonate had never appeared even in other continents. She had only seen it in ancient books. ¡°How do we deal with it?¡±Lin Mo asked. The strength of this ferocious beast was too strong. Even if they wanted to fight it, they might not be able to defeat it. ¡°My suggestion is to run away. The nine neonate lives in the yin-yang Lake. Even if a fifth sky of the Nirvana stage came, they wouldn¡¯t be able to destroy it.¡± Bai Luo spread out his hands. With the unlimited supply of the yin-yang Lake, the nine neonate¡¯s combat strength was almost invincible. Fortunately, the nine neonate hadn¡¯t grown up yet and was unwilling to leave the yin-yang Lake. Otherwise, not to mention this dangerous land, even the Yanhuang Divine dynasty would be destroyed by the nine neonate. ¡°Are we giving up just like that? I have some tricks. Maybe we can work together.¡±Saintess Xia you said. Since the nine neonate was so powerful, its inner core must be very heaven-defying. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. The nine neonate is full of poison. Other than its own kind, the inner core will definitely die if eaten.¡± ¡°What¡¯s really valuable is this yin-yang lake. It uses yin and yang Qi to refine yin-yang Jade.¡±Bai Luo poured cold water on it. The nine neonate was a highly toxic item. Even some poison masters were unwilling to come into contact with it. Its inner core contained fire poison and cold poison. Whoever touched it would die. ¡°But, I haven¡¯t found the yin fish yet¡­¡±Saintess Xia you said somewhat unwillingly. Chapter 403 - Join Hands to Fight the Nine Neonate She had some yang fish in her hands and knew that the yin-yang Jade was to be refined in the yin-yang Lake. However, before she could find the yin fish, she had brought people to look for the yin-yang Lake. ¡°Why did you bring people to the yin-yang Lake without the yin fish?¡± Bai Luo asked. was this Saintess not informed enough or was she deceived? ¡°When I was looking for the yang-yang fish, I found the way to the yin-yang Lake. In order to avoid accidents, I thought of cleaning up the danger here first.¡± The Saintess Xia You was helpless. Now she had to consider whether it was worth it. It was obviously not worth it to spend a great price to get rid of the nine neonates. In the end, she could only cultivate in the yin-yang Lake and absorb the yin-yang energy. Unless she could get the yin-yang jade, she could only retreat with her people. ¡°Saintess, let¡¯s run. This monster is too strong.¡± Someone rushed over from afar. It was Li Long. When he saw that Lin Mo and the others were also there, his eyes suddenly turned cold. ¡°Hehe, everyone is here. What a coincidence. Are they planning to work together to get rid of this monster?¡± Another chuckle sounded. The crown prince and the second prince were also there. The two of them walked together in a somewhat pathetic manner. As for the guards that the two of them brought, they had long been killed by the nine neonates and were sent out by the array formation. They were already eliminated. ¡°This monster is very strong. Even if we join forces, I¡¯m afraid it would be difficult for us to fight against it.¡±The crown prince shook his head. He held a scarlet long spear in his hand. That was the Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s nation-protecting magic artifact, the flame god spear. It was very difficult to meet a first-rank earth rank in the entire eastern continent. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat. It¡¯s not worth it,¡± Saintess Xia You said as she prepared to leave. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo spoke and stopped Saintess Xia You who was about to retreat. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Saintess Xia You stopped and looked at Bai Luo. ¡°We have yin fish.¡± Bai Luo smiled. For the yin-yang jade, it was not impossible to work together with the enemy for a short while. ¡°Really?¡± The Saintess was stunned and overjoyed. She immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s great. I have yang Fish. Let¡¯s work together to refine the yin-yang jade and divide it equally.¡± However, Bai Luo did not say anything. He pointed at Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo, indicating that he could not make the decision. ¡°Brother Lin, eighth princess, I don¡¯t know if you know the value of the yin-yang jade. It¡¯s an earth-grade treasure,¡± the Saintess said quickly. ¡°Saintess, we have both yin and yang fish, so I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t split it equally.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Seeing that Jiang Xiyue was unwilling to speak, he could only go forward. ¡°It was when you left earlier¡­¡± Li long suddenly said. When the team was advancing, Lin Mo left. It seemed that he had gone to catch yang fish. He was really well prepared¡­ ¡°So, we have no reason to share the Yin-yang jade with you guys,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Bai Luo had already created the opportunity. It was obvious that he wanted to fight for the greatest benefit. ¡°Brother Lin, that¡¯s not true. You¡¯ve seen the strength of the nine neonates. Even if the person beside you is mysterious and unpredictable, he shouldn¡¯t be able to fight against the nine neonates alone,¡± Saintess Xia You said as she glanced at Bai Luo. ¡°If you don¡¯t defeat the nine neonates, you won¡¯t be able to use yin and yang qi to refine the yin-yang jade.¡± She pointed at herself, then looked at Li Long, crown prince Jiang Cheng, and said, ¡°The three of us, together with the six of you, will have a chance.¡± ¡°Royal sister, what is the yin-yang jade? Can you explain it to your royal brother?¡± The crown prince asked. A treasure like the yin-yang Jade was too mysterious. From the conversation between Saintess Xia You and Lin Mo, he knew that it was very precious. However, it was difficult for him to predict its exact value. ¡°Go away. If you want to know, you can check the ancient books yourself.¡± Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes and couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. ¡°Jiang Xiyue, why are you speaking to the crown prince?¡± The second prince said angrily, looking like a loyal subject. ¡°Stop it. There are only a few of us here. It¡¯s useless to reveal our true identity.¡± Jiang Xiyue curled her lips. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was still Saintess Xia You and Li Long, she would really want to eliminate the crown prince. Although the empty spirit talisman in his body could save his life, it would take years for his soul to recover. ¡°You¡­¡± the second prince¡¯s eyes turned cold, but he didn¡¯t dare to say anything when he saw Lin Mo and Bai Luo¡¯s unfriendly eyes. ¡°The yin-yang jade has the power of balance. It can balance the attributes within the body. For example, I have the wind and thunder attribute. When I cultivate, I need to balance them so that I can break through.¡± ¡°As for the yin-yang Jade¡¯s power of balance, it can play a crucial role. A piece the size of a thumb is equivalent to a third rank earth rank treasure.¡± Saintess Xia You spoke, breaking the deadlock. At the same time, she told the crown prince about the value of the yin-yang jade. ¡°Brother Lin, what do you think?¡± She looked at Lin Mo. At this moment, the nine neonates¡¯ attack had stopped. It seemed unwilling to leave the yin-yang lake. Its nine heads looked at Lin Mo and the others in the distance. Its scarlet pupils contracted and expanded, and its killing intent surged. ¡°How many yin-yang jades can the yin fish and yang fish in our hands refine?¡± Lin Mo asked Bai Luo telepathically. ¡°About five thumb-sized yin-yang jades. That¡¯s pretty good,¡± Bai Luo replied telepathically. ¡°There¡¯s a limited number of yin fish and yang fish, so we can only refine five pieces of yin-yang jades. We want three pieces here, and I¡¯ll take the remaining two to Yue Xuan for auction. If you two have sufficient spirit stones, you can come and participate in the auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled and voiced out his thoughts. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re a little greedy.¡± Saintess Xia You frowned. Five pieces of yin-yang jades weren¡¯t enough to split. If she only took out two pieces, she would definitely keep one for herself, and the crown prince obviously wanted one as well¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t it enough that you can take three pieces? Do you still want us to pay for it?¡± The crown prince said coldly. Lin Mo¡¯s actions were truly a little greedy. ¡°Those who are too bold will die, while those who are too timid will starve to death. If you think that you can kill us in the danger zone, it¡¯s not impossible for you to take all five pieces.¡±Lin Mo shrugged. The yin-yang jade was not cheap. Saintess Xia You should not give up. ¡°Tell me if you¡¯re willing or not. Otherwise, let¡¯s go our separate ways.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo acted like he was going to leave. The nine neonates glared at him from afar. He really couldn¡¯t stay here for long. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Saintess Xia You opened her mouth. After a moment of contemplation, she said, ¡°Sure, but when you auction, don¡¯t arrange for someone to raise the price maliciously.¡± She looked at Lin Mo with an unfriendly gaze. Clearly, no one had ever dared to threaten her again and again, especially someone like Lin Mo, who had already taken spirit stones from her hands once. Now, he wanted to do it again. ¡°Who¡¯s going to bid? Saintess, can¡¯t you tell¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled slightly. The terms had been agreed. The rest was to work together to deal with the nine neonates. ¡°Miss, have you not asked for your name?¡± Saintess Xia You looked at Bai Luo and suddenly asked. ¡°Bai Luo, a loose cultivator,¡± Bai Luo replied simply. Hearing this, Saintess Xia You continued,¡± Miss Bai Luo, can you tell me the weakness of the nine neonates?¡± Before this, she had never heard of a demonic beast like the nine neonates. She knew nothing about its weakness. Chapter 404 - Use All of Your Trump Cards ¡°Just hit its head and blow up all nine of its heads,¡± Bai Luo said. The most powerful thing about the nine neonates was that as long as it had one head, it wouldn¡¯t die. Also, as long as it had enough energy, it would be able to quickly revive. ¡°The instant its head regenerates, it will be at its weakest. You can attack it,¡± Bai Luo warned. At the same time, he also reminded everyone that the nine neonates had a large amount of fire poison and frost poison in its body. If it wasn¡¯t restrained, even immortal-foundation ascendants wouldn¡¯t be able to save it. ¡°Xiyue, you can attack from afar. Just maintain your dragon might,¡± Lin Mo spoke. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s true dragon¡¯s power originated from the blood in the true dragon¡¯s heart. It was an extremely precious bloodline, allowing her to possess the might of an ancient true dragon. Although the nine neonates was a natural demonic beast, it was also a snake. A true dragon could naturally suppress it. ¡°Got it. Be careful.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. She didn¡¯t rush forward. Instead, she stayed behind and supported Lin Mo and Bai Luo with long-range attacks. The second prince was also not far away. His combat strength was relatively weak. Although he had reached the realm, he couldn¡¯t participate in a battle of this scale. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re being too biased. I¡¯m also a girl, why don¡¯t you let me hide behind?¡± Bai Luo said with dissatisfaction as he fought against the nine neonate¡¯s bite together with Lin Mo. The nine neonates was incomparably powerful, and it was the most dangerous for them to charge in front. Lin Mo¡¯s tactical arrangement was really biased¡­ ¡°Cough cough¡­ It¡¯s more convenient for Xiyue to release her draconic aura from a distance¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s old face turned red as he said shamelessly. ¡°Wow, valuing a woman over a friend.¡± Bai Luo gave Lin Mo a disdainful look. This guy wasn¡¯t even serious when he was perfunctory. ¡°Human, why do you have a familiar smell on your body?¡± At this moment, the nine neonate¡¯s head bit towards Lin mo. its sharp fangs were covered in saliva. At this moment, the nine neonates spoke in human language. While Lin Mo was repelled by the head, he was also taken care of by the nine neonates. ¡°I smell it. It¡¯s the Huancai Fire Demon. Hand it over and I¡¯ll allow you to refine the yin-yang Jade.¡± The nine heads of the nine neonates stuck out at the same time. After getting rid of Saintess Xia You and the others, its huge body drilled out from the yin-yang lake. A pair of sharp claws ruthlessly clawed at Li Long. The latter could not resist at all and was sent flying with a single strike. Its body scraped a deep ravine on the ground. There were three bloody scars on its chest that emitted black gas. ¡°He lost the ability to fight with just one strike¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Seeing the nine neonates¡¯ other claws clawing over, he couldn¡¯t care less. His Kun Peng wings spread, and his body disappeared in an instant. The nine neonates; body appeared. It looked like a naga, but its head had nine snake heads. ¡°Lin Mo, dodge quickly!¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s scream came from behind. Lin Mo came back to his senses, and the nine neonate¡¯s claws had already slapped over. ¡°Origin soul puppet, show yourself!¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and summoned the origin soul puppet. His soul entered the puppet and his body retreated quickly to Jiang Xiyue¡¯s side. ¡°Help me protect her.¡± He said in a low voice and controlled the origin soul puppet to help Bai Luo. At this moment, the nine heads of the nine neonates spurted out fire and water together, suppressing the Saintess Xia You. Bai Luo only survived because of the Kun Peng Wings. ¡°Evil creature, die.¡± Lin Mo rushed over. The original soul puppet held the ancient sword of desolation and slashed down viciously, cutting off one of the nine neonate¡¯s heads. The nine neonates let out a baby¡¯s cry. It was extremely terrifying. At this moment, Bai Luo also took the opportunity to attack. He threw out a talisman that emitted lightning and stuck it on one of the heads. ¡°Thunderstorm talisman, explode!¡± Bai Luo formed a seal and the talisman exploded. Lightning exploded and the second head of the nine neonates was blown into pieces. ¡°Thunderstorm flash!¡± In the distance, Saintess Xia You used her powerful Nirvana Realm strength to block the head-on attack of the nine neonates. At the same time, she held a long sword in her hand and her figure disappeared with a gust of wind. When she reappeared, she was already behind the nine neonates. She slashed down with her long sword and the power of wind and lightning exploded, cutting off two of the nine neonate¡¯s heads. The nine neonates screamed once again, and the baby¡¯s cries became even more mournful. ¡°Flame Divine Spear, Sun Piercing Stab.¡± At the same time that Saintess Xia You attacked, the crown prince also attacked, using an earth-grade magic artifact to unleash a powerful attack. The fifth head of the nine neonates was also pierced through, and black blood flowed out. ¡°Damned ants.¡± The yin-yang lake erupted, and the nine neonates roared furiously. The lake water crazily gathered towards the nine neonates. Under the infusion of such a huge amount of power, the nine neonate¡¯s head, which had been chopped off by Lin Mo in the beginning, began to gradually recover. ¡°Don¡¯t stop attacking. This beast¡¯s recovery speed is too fast.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The origin soul puppet had already been used. At this moment, he could no longer hide his weakness. The sword qi on the desolation ancient sword moved rhythmically, and the Kun Peng Wings flapped, spreading out on the puppet¡¯s back. The ancient Kun Peng¡¯s aura was released. Such a powerful aura shocked everyone present. ¡°This is¡­ The Ancient Divine Beast Kun Peng?¡± Saintess Xia You looked at Lin Mo. no wonder he was so fast just now. It turned out to be the ancient Kun Peng. ¡°It should be a remnant spell. This fellow¡¯s luck is so good?¡± crown prince Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Mo with incomparable envy. At the same time, the depths of his eyes were burning with jealousy. Puppets, ancient Kun Peng techniques, and many hidden treasures. This Lin Mo was also someone with great opportunities. If he couldn¡¯t use him, it would be best to get rid of him. ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there. Let¡¯s attack together,¡± Saintess Xia You said. With Lin Mo blocking in front, they could attack without restraint. The first head that the nine neonates had just recovered from was directly chopped off by Lin Mo. at the same time, it blocked both of its claws. ¡°This is the yin-yang lake. As long as the yin-yang Lake doesn¡¯t dry up, my power will continue to flow. Anyone who stands in my way will die.¡± With a furious roar, the nine-headed dragon retaliated violently. The yin-yang Lake behind it rose up, forming a wave that was 1,000 meters tall. The feeling of extreme yin and extreme yang appeared in everyone¡¯s hearts at the same time. Even Jiang Xiyue, who was far away, frowned. Her dragon¡¯s might was no longer effective, and it could no longer affect the nine-headed dragon. She wanted to help, but when she saw Lin Mo sitting cross-legged next to her, she held back. Li long and the second prince were still not far away. She was worried about letting them take care of Lin Mo. ¡°Miss Bai Luo, Don¡¯t hide your strength anymore. If this goes on, let alone the yin-yang Jade, we might not even be able to leave alive.¡± Saintess Xia You said. Now that Lin Mo had revealed his trump card, she and Bai Luo could not hide their strength anymore. ¡°You¡¯re the one hiding your weaknesses, right? I really don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re so wary of me. Am I the type of person to stab you in the back?¡± Bai Luo curled her lips and said. Although Saintess Xia You had displayed a very strong battle prowess, it was definitely not just that. She still had a trump card that she had yet to use. ¡°Alright then, the two of us shouldn¡¯t hide our weaknesses anymore. Let¡¯s attack together. Your Highness, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.¡± Saintess Xia You nodded and took the lead to charge forward. The sword qi in her longsword hummed as an intense sword qi burst forth. ¡°Sigh, if only Lil¡¯ Die was here¡­¡± Bai Luo sighed as she pointed her longspear forward. Her aura suddenly changed, and her eyes gradually became sharp. ¡°The first test of the god-sealing spear art is the spear as my heart!¡± Chapter 405 - The Biggest Winner At this moment, the long spear in her hand suddenly changed, as if it had become one with her. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings spread out behind her back, and the aura of the ancient Kun Peng spread out, shocking everyone once again. Bai Luo¡¯s figure instantly appeared in front of Lin Mo. at this moment, her condition was a little different. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but look over. He saw that Bai Luo¡¯s body was emitting a king¡¯s aura. Each and every move of hers was filled with mystery. ¡°Don¡¯t be distracted. I won¡¯t be able to maintain this state for long.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s calm voice sounded. The nine neonates¡¯ head fiercely swung over, wanting to throw Lin Mo and Bai Luo into the yin-yang Lake. At the same time, the thousand-meter wave also smashed down, wanting to bury everyone below. ¡°Leave this move to me.¡± Saintess Xia You¡¯s voice rang out. She charged forward alone. The wind whistled in her right hand, and thunder rumbled in her left hand. She pressed her palms together. The two forces were perfectly fused by her, and they gradually expanded with the infusion of spiritual qi. Finally, the power of wind and thunder was thrown out by Saintess Xia You. It exploded in mid-air, and the attack that the nine neonates launched with the yin-yang lake was actually blocked. The terrifying waves dispersed, and the power within the Yin yang lake surged. However, even though this attack was blocked, when the nine neonates reappeared in everyone¡¯s line of sight, they had already regenerated eight heads. And that last one had also recovered half of its power and was about to recover. ¡°What terrifying recovery power.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The nine neonates was simply terrifying within the yin-yang lake. They had used all their trump cards, yet it was about to recover. ¡°Don¡¯t delay. Continue to attack.¡± Bai Luo said. The long spear in her hand was only at the 9th tier of the spirit grade, but the power it released was comparable to Jiang Cheng¡¯s flame divine spear. She swept her long spear horizontally, sweeping away the attack of the nine neonate¡¯s claws. At the same time, she stabbed out with her spear. A brilliant light blossomed from her spear, piercing through the head that was about to be resurrected. ¡°Jiang Cheng, don¡¯t just stand there. are earth-grade magic tools used for staring into space?¡± Lin Mo shouted, asking the crown prince, who was not far away, to step forward and attack. ¡°You¡­¡± The crown prince was furious. There was no one here and none of them wanted to take it anymore. Jiang Xi had no eyes for her elder brother, and this Lin Mo was commanding him directly. ¡°Cut the crap. Hurry up and attack, or give me your earth-grade spear.¡± Bai Luo shouted from not far away and asked the crown prince to help. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to command me,¡± the crown prince said coldly as he entered the battlefield with the flame divine spear in his hand. However, it was clear that when the nine neonates became serious, its attack power was extremely terrifying. Even the Nirvana Realm Holy Maiden, Xia You, didn¡¯t dare to underestimate it. Now that Bai Luo had used an unknown technique, Lin Mo¡¯s soul directly entered the puppet. Only crown prince jiang cheng didn¡¯t have any trump cards left. The only advantage he had was that the Earth-rank magic tool, flame divine spear, could cause damage to the nine neonates. ¡°Ants, die!¡± The nine neonates roared as it swiped its sharp claws at Lin Mo and Bai Luo, intending to kill them. This was because, from what it could sense, Bai Luo and Lin Mo, who were in this state, were the greatest threats. However, the two of them had their battle prowess skyrocket at this moment. One spear, one sword, they engaged in a fierce battle with the nine neonates. Saintess Xia You would attack from time to time, and each strike would bring great trouble to the nine neonates. After a few hundred rounds, Bai Luo¡¯s face was a little pale, and the hand holding the long spear was trembling. ¡°How is it?¡± Lin Mo asked. This move of Bai Luo¡¯s was too terrifying to increase her combat power, but it also consumed a lot of energy. It had only been five minutes, and Bai Luo was already a little unable to hold on. ¡°I can still maintain my peak combat power for another minute¡­¡± Bai Luo panted heavily. She had to remove this state after a minute, or else her spiritual power would be severely overdrawn and her origin would be damaged. ¡°Hold on, there are still three more heads.¡± Saintess Xiyou rushed over to help Bai Luo and Lin Mo block the nine neonate¡¯s attack. The three of them attacked together. Sword qi and snatching light burst out, instantly shattering the remaining two heads of the nine neonates. ¡°It¡¯s trying to escape.¡± Bai Luo hurriedly shouted. The nine neonates only had one head left, and they were almost at their limit. Saintess Xia You had very little spiritual energy left, and Lin Mo¡¯s original soul puppet was injured. His left arm was bitten off by the nine neonate, and he didn¡¯t know where it had fallen to. Bai Luo had no choice but to end the first test of the god restraining spear execution. ¡°Take this, chase¡­¡± She handed Lin Mo three talismans, which were three thunderstorm talismans. If she could stick it on the nine neonate¡¯s head, she would definitely be able to defeat it. ¡°Leave it to me.¡± Lin Mo put away the ancient sword of desolation and flew into the yin-yang lake with the thunderstorm talisman in his hand. Just as he landed, the nine neonate¡¯s attack came. At this moment, it had already recovered its second head. The third head was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Upon seeing this, the Kun Peng Wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back flapped and he instantly appeared in front of the nine neonates. The ancient Kun Peng represented the extreme speed of the world. Even if it was an incomplete technique, it was not something the nine neonates could compare to. It could not stop Lin Mo at all. After being affixed with the thunderstorm talisman, Lin Mo detonated it on the spot, and a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out. The original soul puppet was also injured by the explosion, and a glaring crack appeared on its chest. After the explosion, the nine neonate¡¯s corpse appeared in front of Lin Mo. A pearl the size of a dragon¡¯s eye floated in the lake, and it was blasted out by the aftermath of the explosion. On the pearl, there was actually a yin-yang diagram engraved on it. ¡°Is this the inner core of the nine neonates? It¡¯s so mysterious, it feels like it¡¯s next to the Dao¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely shocked. He was only a puppet controlled by his soul right now, so he was unable to comprehend the Dao principles. Even so, he could already feel the power within. One could imagine the value of this inner core. ¡°Didn¡¯t Bai Luo say that it was poisonous¡­¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. It seemed like this girl had deceived even him in order to deceive Saintess Xia You¡­ ¡°That¡¯s good. You don¡¯t have to take this thing out.¡± Lin Mo smiled. His soul power surged and kept the inner core into the system space. Then, he swaggered out. When he broke out of the water, Bai Luo, Jiang Xiyue, and the others were waiting by the yin-yang Lake. ¡°Lin Mo¡­¡± Seeing Lin Mo break out of the water, Jiang Xiyue finally felt relieved. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re safe. How is it?¡± Bai Luo revealed a mysterious smile as he looked at Lin Mo. Sensing her smile, Lin Mo¡¯s soul returned to his original body. He smiled mysteriously and said, ¡°It¡¯s done. The nine neonates is dead. We can refine the yin-yang jade now.¡± ¡°What about the nine neonate¡¯s inner core? It¡¯s also a treasure. Didn¡¯t you bring it out?¡± crown prince jiang cheng asked. He had been staring at Lin Mo from the start and realized that there was nothing unusual about the original soul puppet¡­ ¡°Isn¡¯t that thing poisonous? I didn¡¯t take it. If you want it, you can go down yourself. It should be at the bottom of the lake,¡± Lin Mo curled his lips and said. ¡°It¡¯s best not to go. The yin-yang Lake is unfathomable. It¡¯s not something we can explore at our level,¡± Bai Luo said. She asked Lin Mo to take out the yin fish and yang fish. Jiang Xiyue was in the best condition right now. Bai Luo told Jiang Xiyue the method to refine the yin-yang jade. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a pleasure to work with you. As for your yin-yang Jade, it will be auctioned at that time. Just prepare enough spirit stones to buy it,¡± Bai Luo said with a chuckle. She and Lin Mo looked at each other. They would be the biggest winners this time. The spiritual energy by the yin-yang Lake was abundant. After two hours, they recovered and Lin Mo¡¯s original soul puppet was repaired. With the help of the yin-yang energy, the puppet was about to break through to the fourth sky of the Nirvana realm. After a while, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s voice was heard, ¡°The yin-yang Jade is ready.¡± Chapter 406 - The Elimination Round There were exactly five pieces of yin-yang Jade. Everyone was envious. This was an earth-grade treasure. Even the national treasury of the Yanhuang dynasty had never recorded such a treasure before. ¡°Brother Lin, please keep your promise.¡± Saintess Xiyou looked at the yin-yang Jade in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand. She restrained her aura and didn¡¯t try to snatch it. Jiang Cheng wanted to make a move, but he felt that he was no match for her, so he could only watch. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The two pieces of yin-yang Jade will be auctioned soon. You can come and support us.¡±Lin Mo smiled faintly. At this moment, a ray of light lit up in their bodies. The ethereal talismans in their bodies circulated, and they turned into a ray of light and disappeared by the yin-yang Lake. Lin Mo felt the space squirm, and a silvery-white light flashed before finally appearing in a public square. This public square was built for the preliminary selection, and there were exactly a thousand people standing in it. ¡°That was close. Why didn¡¯t you tell me you had a teleportation talisman¡­¡± Lin Mo heard a sigh of relief. Bai Luo had also come out through the teleportation array, but he was a little slower than them. The experts in charge of guarding the teleportation array didn¡¯t notice anything strange either. ¡°I forgot. Also, what kind of method are you using?¡±Lin Mo was a little shocked. His soul power swept across the area, yet there were still 1,000 people here. However, it was clear that Bai Luo hadn¡¯t been teleported out through the spatial talisman. ¡°Using a talisman to tear open space and replace a person¡¯s position. Your method is a little shady, so don¡¯t make a fuss about it.¡± Bai Luo casually explained. When she sensed that everyone had entered the teleportation array, she hurriedly used a spatial talisman to follow. On the way, she used a powerful method to suppress a person who was in the middle of teleportation, killing him and replacing his position. The empty spirit talisman protected that person, but because he was killed, he was also teleported to the loser¡¯s camp. Without anyone noticing, Bai Luo had managed to fool everyone. ¡°That talisman must be very expensive. The array formation that enshrouds this place is a level eight spirit class¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said in surprise. Bai Luo¡¯s identity was really mysterious. He even had such a method¡­ ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± A cheer came from afar. Lin Die ran through the crowd and came to Lin Mo¡¯s side. ¡°Die.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and reached out his hand to hold die in his arms. ¡°Go away, go away. Men and women can¡¯t be taught clearly. Xiao Die, come to me.¡± A pair of Bai Zhe¡¯s hands snatched Lin Die from Lin Mo¡¯s arms. Bai Luo glared at Lin Mo and took Lin die away. ¡°Master, I heard that there¡¯s a monster in the Yin-yang land. How did you guys deal with it?¡±Yan Rong walked over. He was waiting in the extreme yang land. During the process of waiting, many people fled for their lives. They were all saying that there was a monster in the yin-yang land. That monster was very strong. Even the Nirvana Stage Holy Maiden Xia You was no match for it. Many of their experts went forward. In the end, they were defeated. Countless people were killed and injured. After they escaped, they all left. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s already done. However, did you obtain an opportunity and break through?¡±Lin Mo asked. He looked at Yan Rong. This fellow was at the 27th level of the dragon transformation stage before they separated. Now, his realm had already reached the 30th level of the dragon transformation stage. This leap was a bit big, which made him a bit surprised. Yan Rong had refined some kind of supreme treasure. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to the mission arranged by master,¡±Yan Rong said with a smile. It turned out that when he brought Lin die to the rescue, the woman was extremely lucky and met a half-step earth grade Skyfire Divine Lotus. However, she was tracked from the beginning, so she was attacked and her life was on the line. Fortunately, Yan Rong and Lin Die arrived in time to save her. ¡°She was grateful to us. She divided the Skyfire Divine Lotus into three parts and refined them together.¡± After saying that, Yan Rong looked at Lin Die. After he and the woman had refined the Skyfire Divine Lotus, their realms had soared, but Lin Die hadn¡¯t improved at all. All the spiritual essence had been compressed in her body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Xiaodie is preparing for the next transformation.¡± Bai Luo smiled. She checked Lin Die¡¯s body and was very satisfied. ¡°Not bad. You didn¡¯t mistreat Xiao Die. She has already reached the fourth change. After the next change, she will be able to break through to the Nirvana stage.¡± Seeing this, she also heaved a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that even Lin Mo couldn¡¯t afford to take care of Lin Die. However, it seemed that she was worrying too much. In a short period of time, there were still many benefits for Lin die to follow Lin Mo. . ¡°Congratulations on passing the preliminaries and advancing successfully. The elimination round will begin in seven days.¡± An old man suddenly appeared in the sky and stood in the air. He looked at the crowd below and nodded in satisfaction. He continued, ¡°Let me explain the rules of the elimination round here.¡± The thousands of people in the square were focused. Even Jiang Xiyue was curious. She did not know the rules of the competition. ¡°The rules are as follows. In the royal hunting ground, there will be a free-for-all. 100 people will be selected. No one will be allowed to use the formation plates and talismans that have been engraved in advance. No one will be allowed to kill anyone.¡± ¡°The 100 people who are still standing in the end will be rewarded by the Emperor.¡± Another free-for-all. 100 people out of 1,000 people would be under a lot of pressure. At that time, even Saintess Xiyou wouldn¡¯t dare to say that she could fight against 100 people alone. ¡°Senior, isn¡¯t this a bit unfair?¡±Someone shouted. These words resonated with many people. They had come out of the danger zone with great difficulty, but the rules of the next match were so careless. ¡°The path of cultivators is unfair to begin with. If you¡¯re not satisfied, you don¡¯t have to participate.¡±After saying this, the old man in the air disappeared. A large number of soldiers immediately surged into the square, asking everyone to leave the stage. The next ones to be teleported out were those who had failed. At the bottom of the square, there were specialized people registering. After recording the information of those who had passed the preliminary selection, some people had already begun to leave. At this moment, the formation above the danger zone activated, and space split open. One after another, human figures fell down like dumplings. They lay in disorder on the square, and soon, the place was filled with people. Many people¡¯s expressions changed. Some sect elders cried out in pain because they saw their own disciples. There were even holy sons among them. The Holy Land Elders looked at each other in disbelief. ¡°They were killed in the danger zone. The Empty Spirit Talisman saved them, but their souls were injured. They won¡¯t be able to wake up for three years.¡± A person in charge explained that the empty spirit talisman could only protect their lives, but the damage to their souls had to be recovered by themselves. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We don¡¯t have anything else to do. When you go back, start preparing the materials for the breakthrough to the Monolith Forbidden Land.¡± Bai Luo said indifferently. She had already gotten away with it. A person in charge had registered her information, so there was nothing to worry about. ¡°Brother Lin, I wonder when your auction will be held?¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to leave, Saintess Xia you walked over and looked at Lin Mo. . Crown Prince Jiang Cheng was also at the side, partnering with Saintess Xia you. ¡°What? Saintess Xia You is looking forward to Lin Mo¡¯s auction? It Can¡¯t be¡­¡± Some people were shocked. In their eyes, Saintess Xia you was a fairy who had entered the mortal world. How could there be anything she was looking forward to in the mortal world¡­ Chapter 407 - Shocking Changes in the Purple Moon Palace ¡°What¡¯s there to be surprised about? You Don¡¯t know that ever since Lin Mo took control of Yue Xuan, good items have always appeared in the Yue Xuan Auction.¡± ¡°Yeah, every item is amazing. Looks like the SAINTESS has calculated the final treasure of Lin Mo¡¯s next auction¡­¡± ¡°You can even calculate that?¡± ¡°What do you know? Saintess Xia you can calculate the heavenly secrets. How difficult is it to calculate the final treasure?¡± Many people in the surroundings were discussing and had a blind confidence in Saintess Xia you. ¡°Hehe, if nothing unexpected happens, it can be held tonight.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and said. This was already the second time she had asked. Did she really not trust him¡­ Saintess Xia you smiled faintly and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for Your Good News.¡± After answering, Lin Mo and the others quickly left the place. On the way, Lin Die asked curiously. ¡°Sister Bai Luo, is that Saintess Xia you really able to calculate the heavenly secrets?¡±She had been curious for a long time. Because this Saintess¡¯fame was too high, she had to believe it. ¡°Of course not. Nirvana stage divining the Secrets of Heaven is no different from courting death.¡±Bai Luo curled her lips. She told everyone that there were indeed experts who could divulge the secrets of heaven in this world. However, it was not easy to meet such an existence. ¡°Does your family have such an expert?¡±Lin Mo asked curiously. ¡°Guess.¡±Bai Luo smiled slyly and did not answer. Lin Mo rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to tell me.¡± ¡°You want to know so much? There¡¯s no harm in telling you. Just sign the contract and sell Xiaodie to me, and I¡¯ll tell you.¡±Bai Luo chuckled. Until now, she was still thinking about Xiaodie. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not a commodity, how can I sell it?¡±Lin Die had a dissatisfied look on her face. Why did she end up talking about her. ¡°In short, she can only predict some things, but not to the extent of divination.¡± Bai Luo explained. Divination was very mysterious, and she did not know much. ¡°She is indeed very powerful. I can predict some things related to her, but not all of them. You just have to be careful in front of her.¡± The group chatted and slowly returned to the Purple Moon Palace. As expected, just as they returned, the array formation of the Purple Moon Palace had already been broken. Luo Haoyu sat at the entrance of the main hall with a gloomy expression, waiting for Jiang Xiyue to return. ¡°Your Highness, who is this?¡± Luo Haoyu was about to report when que noticed Bai Luo and looked over warily. ¡°Elder Luo, don¡¯t worry. Her name is Bai Luo. She is one of us.¡±Jiang Xiyue waved her hand. She looked at Bai Luo. This girl with an extraordinary background should be one of us. She didn¡¯t object to her words. ¡°Speak, elder Luo. What Happened?¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s face turned ugly when he heard that. He kneeled down and said, ¡°I was incompetent and failed to defend the Purple Moon Palace. The Purple Moon Palace was broken through.¡± ¡°I understand. How was the loss?¡±Jiang Xiyue nodded. She was mentally prepared for this news. ¡°The Purple Moon Palace¡¯s treasury was broken. The other party didn¡¯t gain much. In a fit of anger, they destroyed all the formations of the Purple Moon Palace.¡± ¡°Yue Xuan¡¯s treasury was also broken. The formations were completely destroyed. Tang Chen, who was in charge of guarding the treasury, was severely injured.¡± ¡°Apart from that, five of the elders in the Purple Moon Palace were killed. The rest were also heavily injured. I was stopped by someone and was unable to make a move¡­¡± Hearing Luo Haoyu¡¯s report, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face sank. The Emperor had finally made a move on her. ¡°Five people were killed¡­¡±she muttered to herself. The weakest one guarding Purple Moon Palace was at the third sky of the Nirvana realm. It was extremely difficult to train them. It was too disastrous to lose five people at once¡­ ¡°Also¡­¡±Luo Haoyu wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. There were still terrible things. ¡°Speak.¡± Jiang Xiyue said in a low voice, her face filled with anger. This was an action against her. She had long guessed that things would not be so simple. If they had gained something from the treasure vault, perhaps those people would not have died. However, with nothing to gain, the Emperor would definitely be ruthless. ¡°Father, oh father, sometimes even I doubt myself. Am I really your biological son¡­¡± She felt a sense of desolation. They were both members of the imperial family, so why was she being targeted like this. ¡°There are still three old men who are seriously injured and have injured their origin. If they don¡¯t be treated, their lives will be lost.¡± ¡°The Damask Dantian has suffered a serious injury. Their strength has dropped from the sixth sky of the Nirvana stage to the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage.¡± The three old men were also powerhouses at the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage. They were deliberately targeted, and they were not far from death¡­ ¡°So ruthless¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. The team that Jiang Xiyue had spent so much effort to build was beaten back to its original state in just one day. ¡°Take me to have a look. Maybe there¡¯s still hope.¡± Bai Luo sighed. This princess was really miserable to be targeted by her own father. ¡°Well, Sister Xiyue, don¡¯t be sad. Let¡¯s go and take a look. Sister Bai Luo has many tricks up her sleeve. She must have a way.¡± Lin Die held Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand and shook it slightly as she consoled her. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t make random promises. I¡¯m not confident.¡±Bai Luo knocked Lin die¡¯s smooth forehead hard. Although Luo Haoyu didn¡¯t believe it, he still led everyone into the depths of the Purple Moon Palace. In a spacious room, there were 11 beds. The person lying on them had a weak aura, like a candle in the wind. ¡°Is the palace master here¡­¡± A sweet female voice came from the innermost white jade bed. A beautiful middle-aged woman was lying on it, not moving at all. Her face was pale, and wisps of pure spiritual energy were dissipating in her dantian. It was her shattered dantian. Her Dantian could not retain the spiritual energy. If it continued to dissipate like this, she would become an ordinary person in less than a month. ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue was shocked. She walked quickly to the beautiful woman and held her hand anxiously. She didn¡¯t know alchemy and didn¡¯t know how to treat her dantian. She couldn¡¯t even save her. ¡°Miss Bai Luo, do you have a way? Save her¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at Bai Luo and pleaded. She was going to bow down to her. Bai Luo was startled by her gesture. He quickly pushed her away, not daring to accept the bow. ¡°Don¡¯t. If you bow down to Lin Mo, you won¡¯t be able to find trouble with me¡­¡± Bai Luo said. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and said, ¡°I can only say that I¡¯ll try my best. Let me take a look at my injuries first¡­¡± As she said that, she walked forward and injected her soul power into her body, starting to examine her injuries. ¡°Aunt?¡±Lin Mo asked curiously. ¡°This is qiluo, my mother¡¯s younger sister, also known as my aunt.¡± ¡°You¡­ just call her aunt¡­¡±Jiang Xiyue blushed and said. ¡°Oh¡­ Xiyue, I thought you were too proud to find a dao partner,¡±qiluo chuckled on the white jade bed. Upon hearing that Lin Mo was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s dao partner, her face turned red and she was very happy. ¡°Aunty, stop talking for now. Your injury will definitely be treated,¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a red face. At this time, she didn¡¯t even think about rebelling and fighting for the throne. She only hoped that Aunty could recover. ¡°My Dantian was deliberately injured. The purpose was for you to waste resources to save me. It¡¯s useless¡­¡± Chapter 408 - 10,000 Qiluo shook her head. The person who attacked her was very powerful. He crushed her in the entire process and even crippled her dantian. ¡°Fortunately, the other party spared your life and let us waste resources. However, it¡¯s precisely because of this that you can still be saved.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo, who had been observing for a long time, withdrew her soul power and said. ¡°Oh, little girl, even that medicine jar said that I¡¯m hopeless. Are you sure?¡±Qiluo asked curiously. She was quite happy to hear that she could still be saved, but her rationality still prevailed. She wasn¡¯t happy, but rather curious about how to save her. ¡°Take out the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk.¡±Bai Luo reached out to Lin Mo and asked for the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. ¡°You want to use the 10,000-year-old Earth Milk?¡±Lin Mo was stunned. could such a treasure have healing effects? ¡°I can¡¯t bear to use it. Don¡¯t tell me you want me to use my own? Dream on, hurry up.¡±Bai Luo rolled his eyes. ¡°Alright, if you can save it, you can use it all.¡±Lin Mo said. Of course, there was one more thing he didn¡¯t say. If the 10,000-year-old Earth milk didn¡¯t have any effects, he had something even better¡­ ¡°I have five drops left. I intended to give them to elder Luo and the rest.¡±Lin Mo waved his hand. He was not lying. It was naturally good that these powerhouses were willing to follow Jiang Xiyue. If they were to give sufficient benefits and make some promises, they would not have to worry about being betrayed. However, he did not expect that Jiang Xiyue¡¯s top-notch powerhouse had an unusual relationship with her¡­ ¡°Ah, little girl, how can you use ten-thousand-year-old earth milk like this¡­¡± Just as Bai Luo poured out a drop of ten-thousand-year-old earth milk to help Qi Luo refine it, the door of the room was pushed open, and an old man rushed in. ¡°Who are you?¡±Bai Luo was displeased. This old man lectured her right away, and it made her unhappy. ¡°Yao Lao, Your Hand?¡±Jiang Xiyue was shocked. The old man who came in was one-armed, and his face was as pale as paper. ¡°Medicine Pot, you came at the right time. This girl said that Qiluo could be saved. See how you can save her,¡±Luo Haoyu said quickly. ¡°She has ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. She might have a chance.¡± The old man walked over and took over Bai Luo. He used his spiritual essence to help Qiluo refine the ten-thousand-year-old earth milk. It had to be said that his technique was very profound. Under the seal, his refining speed was much faster than Bai Luo¡¯s. ¡°So You¡¯re an alchemist. Alright then, you do it.¡±Bai Luo waved his hand and was delighted to be free. Under the old man¡¯s refinement, Qi Qi no longer flowed out from the Dantian of the beautiful silk. Her injuries began to recover. ¡°That¡¯s great. With the 10,000-year-old Earth milk and the spiritual pills I refined to nourish you, you¡¯ll be able to recover very quickly.¡± The old man was overjoyed. A smile also appeared on Luo Haoyu¡¯s face. After suppressing himself for so long, there was finally good news. ¡°Medicine jar, there are still four drops of 10,000-year-old Earth milk. Keep One Drop for yourself, and save the three of them.¡± Luo Haoyu pulled the old man with a broken arm to the other side. On the three white jade beds, there was still the old man with three eyes lying on the bed, and he was on the verge of death. ¡°Hehe, that¡¯s easy to say, but Qiluo¡¯s strength can¡¯t be recovered. After all, she has injured the origin.¡±The Old Man Called Medicine Jar took the 10,000-year-old Earth milk and sighed. ¡°Isn¡¯t it simple? She can be saved, and her strength might even increase.¡± After the medicine pot came to a conclusion, Bai Luo spoke again. ¡°Little girl, I found that you are targeting me. Tell me, how can I Save Her?¡±The medicine pot blew his beard and said with widened eyes. ¡°Take out the nine-neonate inner core.¡±Bai Luo reached out to Lin Mo again. ¡°Didn¡¯t the nine-neonate inner core sink into the yin-yang Lake? Also, isn¡¯t it poisonous?¡±Jiang Xiyue was stunned. However, when Lin Mo took out the nine-neonate inner core, everyone was stunned. The inner core was engraved with the yin-yang Taiji diagram. The power of the water element and the fire element appeared. These two forces formed the power of yin and yang. ¡°This senior happens to be of the water and fire element. The nine-neonate inner core is perfect for you.¡± Bai Luo smiled and explained to Jiang Xiyue. The so-called inner core was poisonous was completely nonsense. The purpose was naturally to obtain this inner core. ¡°This is an inner core. Are you sure it¡¯s not a spirit pill?¡±The Medicine Pot¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. He grabbed the inner core and observed it carefully. The more he observed, the more difficult it was to hide the shock on his face. ¡°How magical. It contains the laws of heaven and earth. What kind of Demonic Beast¡¯s inner core is this?¡±The medicine pot muttered to himself. This had already exceeded his understanding. ¡°Yao Lao, this is the inner core of an ancient great demon, the nine neonate.¡±Jiang Xiyue said and told him about the origin of the nine neonate. ¡°Innate rare beast¡­ no wonder¡­¡± The medicine pot held the nine neonate inner core and fell into deep thought. In the end, Luo Haoyu slapped him awake and asked him to quickly treat the three people who were seriously injured and dying. ¡°Luo Haoyu, don¡¯t interrupt me while I¡¯m thinking. I Won¡¯t die if I delay for a while.¡±The medicine pot roared angrily. ¡°Do you want to hear what you¡¯re saying?¡±Luo Haoyu said angrily. The most important thing at the moment was to save them. ¡°Aunty, you guys heal first. Leave the resources to me,¡±Jiang Xiyue said. It just so happened that the auction was going to be held tonight. The resources they obtained could allow these people to heal their injuries. However, just as they were about to leave Purple Moon Palace and go to the Moon Pavilion, they found that Purple Moon Palace was already surrounded¡­ There were patrolling soldiers all around the perimeter, causing Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face to turn completely dark. ¡°Your Highness, this is the emperor¡¯s intention. Purple Moon Palace has been attacked and the array formation has been broken. We are responsible for protecting the princess¡¯safety.¡± ¡°Please return to Purple Moon Palace and don¡¯t go out.¡± The patrolling soldiers knelt down and said with a resolute attitude. There was no room for negotiation. ¡°Good¡­ very good¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue said in a deep voice. She was grounded. It was really obvious that they were targeting her. Did they really think that she would not dare to rebel¡­ Seeing this, Lin Mo grabbed Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand and shook his head. He said in a low voice, ¡°Bear with it!¡± ¡°Phew¡­¡± After taking a few deep breaths, Jiang Xiyue calmed down. There was no joy or anger on her face. ¡°Trust me, I will get enough resources¡­¡± Lin Mo whispered in her ear. He left the Purple Moon Palace alone, and the guards did not stop him. As for Bai Luo, Lin Mo wanted to get rid of her and follow Jiang Xiyue. If necessary, he would take her away. This was his request. He knew that Bai Luo had a way. The Emperor had already made his move. He did not know if he could survive this crisis. However, he had to be prepared for the worst. Yue Xuan. At this moment, Yue Xuan looked a little dilapidated. Even the plaque had been smashed by someone, and no one was hanging it up. Lin Mo walked in and realized that there were people coming and going. There was still an endless stream of people. These people had come because of their fame, especially for tonight¡¯s auction. Saintess Xia you was looking forward to it. It could be seen how valuable it was. Lin Mo took over Yue Xuan and prepared the items for tonight¡¯s auction under Huixiang¡¯s report. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you. Go take care of senior Tang Chen. I¡¯ll go visit him after the auction,¡±Lin Mo said. The sun set in the west. Following the sound of the auction hammer striking, the Yue Xuan auction began. ¡°Welcome to the auction tonight¡­¡± Chapter 409 - Taking advantage of a burning house Although something had happened to Yue Xuan, many of the major powers in the imperial city had been attacked. Some people had already guessed who it was, but there was nothing they could do. Their family¡¯s treasury had been emptied, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, while they sympathized with Yue Xuan, they were also secretly sad. ¡°Right, there will be a slight change in the rules of tonight¡¯s auction. There will be no time limit for each treasure to be auctioned. Only when someone successfully bids will the next one begin.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo added. What he lacked the most right now was spirit stones. He planned to raise the starting bid. Furthermore, under such circumstances, while most people were dissatisfied, they also sympathized with him. Yue Xuan and Purple Moon Palace had been destroyed, and all kinds of formations had been destroyed. The reconstruction required so many spirit stones, so he could only try his best. ¡°Field owner Lin, quickly start the auction. We also need some treasures to fill our clans¡­¡± Sighs could be heard from some of the private rooms. It was the various clans in the imperial city. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say any more nonsense. Now, the auction begins. The first auction item, divine firefly inner core, spirit 4-grade.¡± Lin Mo took out a silver box, and after opening it, a dense fire attribute energy spread out. ¡°According to the seller, this is a treasure from the first selection. The Divine Flame bug was born from absorbing innate spiritual energy, and its inner core is of high quality.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not only suitable for fire attribute experts. Other than ice and water attributes, any cultivator can use it to temper their bodies.¡± After some introductions, Lin Mo noticed that many people below were interested. He chuckled and said, ¡°The starting price is 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000.¡± Such a starting price was already a little too high. For a spirit rank 4 treasure, 800,000 was usually the selling price for a spirit rank 5 treasure. The inner core¡¯s value would be a little higher, but the selling price would not exceed 1,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Such a high starting price stunned everyone in the hall. ¡°Field owner Lin, you¡¯re not joking, right? Isn¡¯t the starting price too high?¡± Someone asked. They could take out eight hundred thousand, but even if they had money, they couldn¡¯t spend it like this. ¡°That¡¯s right. The Divine Flame Bug¡¯s inner core is worth this price. Normally, the bidding price would also be raised to this price,¡±Lin Mo said indifferently. At this moment, in some of the private rooms, the elders and family heads of the various families were already frowning. Their treasury had been ransacked and they didn¡¯t have much money to begin with. Now, they wanted to buy some treasures to stop the losses. However, they didn¡¯t expect the treasures that Lin Mo was selling to be so expensive. Furthermore, he had previously said that he wouldn¡¯t allow any of the items to be auctioned off. This meant that they had to auction off the Divine Flame Bug¡¯s inner core. Otherwise, they would have to leave¡­ ¡°Field owner Lin, everyone is very sad. We¡¯ve met with a calamity recently, and you¡¯re taking advantage of the situation to rob us.¡±In front of them, the door to a private room was kicked open. An old man walked out angrily and looked coldly at Lin Mo. . ¡°Family head Zhao is right. The Yue Xuan auction isn¡¯t something you can decide. We definitely won¡¯t allow you to tarnish Yue Xuan¡¯s reputation like this.¡± Another person walked out. It was a middle-aged man. He stood beside the old man and criticized Lin Mo. . ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m in charge of Yue Xuan now. As for the so-called taking advantage of a burning house, if you want to buy the treasure at the bottom price, aren¡¯t you taking advantage of a burning house?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and stared at the two of them. His gaze was filled with coldness. Just looking at them like this made the two of them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles. ¡°Hehe, brother Lin, why are you so angry? Yue Xuan and Purple Moon Palace have met with unforeseen circumstances, and I¡¯m very sympathetic. How about this, I¡¯ll bid one million for this divine firebug inner core. Does anyone want to bid?¡± Right at this moment, a soft laugh sounded out. It was from the private room at the very front. It was the Crown Prince¡¯s voice. This person had come to Yue Xuan early in the morning and had even sent over a few auction items. ¡°It¡¯s good that your Highness understands.¡±As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person. Naturally, Lin Mo would not reject the crown prince¡¯s good intentions. ¡°Your Highness the Crown Prince has bid one million middle-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who has higher bids?¡±Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. ¡°One million going once.¡± ¡°One million going twice.¡± ¡°One million going thrice. sold. Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and tossed the silver box to the Crown Prince¡¯s private room. His intention was clear ¡ª to trade on the spot. ¡°That¡¯s true. It¡¯s good to be cautious.¡± The crown prince wasn¡¯t angry. He tossed out a cloth bag from the window of the private room, which contained 1,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°Thank You, Your Highness.¡±Lin Mo smiled and nodded. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Spirit Rank 4 divine Firebug inner pellet ] [ successfully triggered 1,000 times the auction return ] [ obtained Spirit Rank 5 divine Firebug inner core ] The return return was still given to the Divine Firebug inner core, but the energy contained within this inner core was even richer. ¡°Keep the fire attribute for Xiao Die.¡± After saying this in a low voice, Lin Mo continued the auction. With the Crown Prince¡¯s opening, more and more people started to participate in the auction. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a spirit rank 5 blue lotus. There are a total of 17 of them. The starting price for each of them is 1,000,000.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t mind the trouble and took out all of the blue lotuses that he had picked in the danger zone. A total of 17 of them had filled the entire auction hall with spiritual energy the moment they appeared. In fact, there were already people below who were itching to make a move. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze turned cold as he let out a soft snort. An invisible sword Qi was surging in the dark. Everyone present could clearly feel it. Such a powerful sword Qi was something that even a nirvana stage cultivator wouldn¡¯t dare to claim to possess. Everyone was shocked. This Lin Mo¡¯s talent was truly terrifying. To be able to train his sword Qi to such an extent. ¡°I bid one million.¡± Someone placed a bid, but it was only the starting price. After all, a fifth level spirit rank spiritual medicine was already close to one million. ¡°1,050,000.¡± In another private room, someone was bidding, raising the bid by 50,000. ¡°1,100,000.¡± Another person raised the bid by a very small margin, raising the bid by 50,500,000, because the price was already very high. ¡°1,100,000 going once, is there anyone else bidding?¡± Lin Mo waited for a while, seeing that no one was bidding, he once again dropped the hammer. ¡°1,100,000 going twice.¡± ¡°1,100,000 going thrice. sold. Congratulations to the guest in private room No. 20 for winning this Blue Lotus.¡± Lin Mo smiled and threw the blue lotus. He was not worried that someone would stop him. There were Nirvana realm experts participating in the auction, but they were still not a match for the original soul puppet. If they really dared to behave atrociously here, he did not mind losing the other party¡¯s life. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 5 blue lotus ] [ you have successfully triggered 900 times the profit from the auction ] [ you have obtained a spirit rank 6 Blue Moon Lotus ] The Blue Moon Lotus was also considered a type of blue lotus, but it was an advanced version. It contained pure spiritual energy and didn¡¯t have any requirements on its attributes. Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. As long as the blue lotus behind him was able to earn back the profit from the Blue Moon Lotus, then he wouldn¡¯t be at a loss. ¡°Alright, the next blue lotus auction begins. The starting price is still one million.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. The auction began. Someone in the hall gritted his teeth and joined the bidding. Chapter 410 - Auctioning the Soul Nurturing Stone After all, it was a fifth level spirit level spirit herb. After consuming it, it would be very helpful for cultivation. ¡°1.1 million.¡± A young man stood up and bid 1.1 million. His aura fluctuated up and down. He was at the 29th level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and was very close to breaking through to the 30th level. He probably bought the blue lotus because he was close to breaking through. ¡°1,100,000 going once.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°1,100,000 going thrice. sold.¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer. The returning treasure was still the Blue Moon Lotus, and its quality was very good. He did not mind being slow. The Blue Lotus was auctioned one by one, and each time, the selling price was around 1,100,000. The last few lotuses caused a bidding war, and the highest price reached 1.3 million, allowing Lin Mo to make a small profit. Without exception, the rebates were all given to the Blue Moon lotuses. The most precious thing was that it triggered the 5,000 times auction rebate, and the rebate was given to the spirit level rank 7 Blue Moon Lotus, which contained even more rich spiritual energy. ¡°Alright, the Blue Lotus auction is over. The next item is a piece of jade.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a light blue crystal the size of a palm from the system space. As soon as it appeared, the crystal started to emit a thick cold aura. ¡°Ice Heart Jade, ice attribute. It can be used to set up formations and forge weapons. Grade 4 spirit grade, very good.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s a magic tool with ice attribute, melting the ice heart jade in can raise the grade of the magic tool by at least one grade.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s only limited to spirit rank 6 and below.¡± Lin Mo explained. The Ice Heart Jade¡¯s effects were very good. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that its attributes didn¡¯t match, he really wanted to melt it into the ancient sword of desolation. ¡°Those who are interested can participate in the auction. The starting price is 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Once the starting price was announced, the Auction Hall fell silent. This was because the price that Lin Mo had set was really expensive. It was almost close to the closing bid. Even though the Ice Heart Jade was precious, the price was around 800,000 middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°800,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This item isn¡¯t bad, I¡¯ll take it.¡± A crisp and melodious female voice sounded from within the private room. When the crowd heard the voice, they looked over and realized that it was the tenth princess¡¯private room. She possessed the ice attribute, and the Ice Heart Jade was of great help to her. ¡°800,000 going once, anyone want to bid?¡±Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer once. The auction hall was extremely quiet, which made Lin Mo feel helpless. The price he had set was indeed very high, and the atmosphere had already turned cold. ¡°Forget it, with Saintess Xia you and the Crown Prince backing me up, I have to sell all of today¡¯s auction items.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. With the Yin-yang jade as the finale, these two would definitely let his auction go on. Although raising the price would make people unhappy, there was nothing he could do. He was forced to do so. After three times, no one made a bid. The tenth princess successfully bought the Ice Heart Jade at the base price. ¡°Congratulations, tenth princess, for successfully buying the Ice Heart Jade.¡±Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and completed the transaction with the tenth princess. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank rank 4 Ice Heart Jade ] [ triggered 3,000 times the auction return ] [ obtained a spirit rank 6 chaos origin ice jade ] It was a useless treasure. None of the people around him had any ice attribute, so this item had no value. ¡°The next item up for auction is a spirit rank 6 chaos origin ice jade. It¡¯s still the perfect material to forge a spiritual artifact.¡± ¡°Just like the previous Ice Heart Jade, it can raise the quality of a spiritual artifact. If used together, it can even forge a spirit rank 8 spiritual artifact,¡±Lin Mo said with a smile. The tenth princess should still have some money to earn. ¡°There¡¯s no need for introductions. Let¡¯s talk about the starting price,¡±the tenth Princess¡¯s voice sounded from within the private room. She was a little happy. She had thought that it would be a simple auction, but she hadn¡¯t expected to obtain two treasures. ¡°The Origin Frost Jade is more precious, so the starting price is 1.8 million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Such a starting price was still very expensive, but the tenth princess didn¡¯t mind. After understanding some of the inside information, she naturally knew what had happened. In order to deal with the chaos, the imperial family had made ample preparations. ¡°Then let¡¯s make it 1.8 million.¡± The tenth princess made her bid. Previously, no one had competed for the Ice Heart Jade, and now, naturally, no one had competed for the chaos origin cold jade. Just like that, the tenth princess once again successfully received the treasure, and Lin Mo once again received 1.8 million middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°The next item up for auction is an ancient object. Its origins are astonishing, and it is the legendary soul nurturing stone that can hold a soul.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. Other than the yin-yang Jade and the nine neonate inner core, the origin of the soul nurturing stone was the most astonishing. He had calculated that at its peak, this soul nurturing stone should be a treasure of Earth rank 5 and above. However, after the passage of time, its grade had dropped to the spirit rank 6. ¡°Soul nurturing stone, how big is it?¡±Someone immediately became interested and asked. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early, this thing is already a treasure from 100,000 years ago¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled helplessly and took out the soul nurturing stone from the system space. This soul nurturing stone was large enough to be carved into a half meter long stone carving. The appearance of such a large soul nurturing stone made everyone in the hall unable to sit still. However, just as they were getting excited, they were suddenly stunned. The Aura was too weak. The aura emitted by this soul nurturing stone was too weak and couldn¡¯t be detected at all. One could even say that if one didn¡¯t look carefully, one would think that this was an ordinary stone carving. ¡°Brother Lin, what are the runes on this soul nurturing stone?¡±Saintess Xia You¡¯s voice sounded from the private room at the front. She was also very interested. The soul nurturing stone was of some use to her, even though this piece was about to disappear. ¡°This rune should be an ordinary rune. I can¡¯t see through it.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. The system did not indicate the value of this rune. It should not be of much use and could not be considered a treasure. However, Saintess Xia you seemed to have noticed something. Could it be that she could see a treasure that the system couldn¡¯t? ¡°System, is your space reliable? Don¡¯t let me miss out on a treasure.¡±Lin Mo thought to himself. [ please rest assured, host. After the system¡¯s spatial appraisal, this rune is only a special rune from 100,000 years ago. It¡¯s used to record information and has no value. ] Hearing the system¡¯s reply, Lin Mo finally felt at ease. It seemed like Saintess Xia you had noticed that this rune was very ancient, which was why she asked. ¡°SAINTESS, if you are interested, you can bid for it and study it. Who knows, you might get something out of it.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, not telling the truth. In any case, he really didn¡¯t know what this rune was used for. ¡°What¡¯s the starting price?¡±Saintess Xia you asked. ¡°This soul nurturing stone is a treasure from 100,000 years ago. After the passage of time, its grade has fallen to the spirit rank 6. The starting price is 2.5 million.¡± Lin Mo said the starting price was 2.5 million. Even a spirit rank 6 treasure couldn¡¯t be sold at such a high price. He had originally planned to sell it for 2 million. However, since Saintess Xia you was interested, he would earn another 500,000. ¡°Alright, 2,500,000 middle-grade spirit stones. I¡¯ll take it.¡±Saintess Xia you nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 2,600,000.¡± Suddenly, when even Lin Mo thought that there was no one else bidding, someone else raised the bid by 100,000. ¡°Who is it? This voice is a little unfamiliar.¡± There were people in the hall looking around curiously, trying to find the origin of the voice. Chapter 411 - Self ¡°It¡¯s the head of the Peacock Spirit clan, Kong Xiu.¡± Someone exclaimed and pointed to a private room. The window was open and there was no cover. People looked over and found that the person sitting inside was Kong Xiu of the peacock spirit clan. ¡°Second sky of the Nirvana stage. Is this the rebound he¡¯s been suppressing for so many years¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He didn¡¯t have any feelings towards Kong Xiu. If he said that Kong Xiu was an ally, then it would ruin his plans. If he said that it wasn¡¯t, then it was still alright. He had shown goodwill to him many times. ¡°Looks like he refined that piece of Nirvana Fire Stone and recovered his origin. After cultivating for a while, he easily broke through.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. Kong Xiu had suppressed himself for so long. Second Sky of Nirvana realm might be the reason why he deliberately suppressed himself. Otherwise, his realm would be at least at the third sky of the Nirvana realm. ¡°2.7 million.¡±Saintess Xia you opened her mouth and made another bid. ¡°3 million.¡± Kong Xiu displayed a heroic spirit and raised the price by 300,000 at one go, raising the price to 3 million. For a spirit rank rank 6 treasure, this was already very rare. Moreover, the value of this soul nurturing stone wasn¡¯t worth 3 million. This made Lin Mo feel a little helpless and wanted to remind Kong Xiu. However, he did not dare to act rashly. If he were to send a voice transmission, Saintess Xia you would probably be able to sense it. ¡°Three million two hundred thousand.¡±Saintess Xia you raised the price again. Spending more spirit stones was nothing to her. For the yin-yang Jade, he had brought enough spirit stones this time. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s Purple Moon Palace had met with an accident. She had already predicted that Lin Mo would think of a way to get spirit stones, so she brought a lot. The crown prince must have thought the same way. Everything was for the yin-yang Jade. ¡°3,200,000 going once.¡± ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. It finally felt like an auction. The previous few times, he had bid at the reserve price, which made him feel a little awkward. ¡°3,200,000 going twice.¡± ¡°3,200,000 going three times. sold.¡± He saw that Kong Xiu still had no intention of bidding, so he dropped the hammer and announced the result of the auction. ¡°Congratulations, Saintess Xia you, for successfully bidding for the soul nurturing stone.¡±Lin Mo lifted the soul nurturing stone and sent it to the door of the private room at the front. Saintess Xia you opened the door and handed the spirit stone to Lin Mo, then looked at the runes on the soul nurturing stone. Under Lin Mo¡¯s gaze, the smile on Saintess Xia You¡¯s face gradually disappeared, and she frowned. In response to this, Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders. Sooner or later, they would be enemies, and if they were to be scammed, they would be scammed¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 6 soul nurturing stone ] [ successfully triggered 1,500 times the auction profit ] [ obtained a spirit rank 7 soul nurturing stone ] A spirit rank 7 soul nurturing stone, and it was very big, but that was it. To Lin Mo, it wasn¡¯t worth much. However, he could bring it back to Jiang Xiyue. That old man called the medicine jar should be very skilled in alchemy. He could ask him to refine spirit pills and then auction them off. The price should be pretty good. After Kong Xiu and Saintess Xia You¡¯s bidding, the atmosphere in the auction hall eased up a little. It was no longer as cold and cheerless as before. ¡°The next item up for auction is the sky umbrella. It¡¯s a sixth level spirit rank magic tool. Its attribute is wood. Of course, it can also be used with the water attribute.¡± That was all the introduction of the magic tool. The Sky umbrella didn¡¯t have any special effects. However, what made Lin Mo unsatisfied was that very few cultivators treated the umbrella as their own magic tool. This was because the corresponding martial arts and magic tools were too few. Therefore, when the sky umbrella appeared, the atmosphere became much quieter, and the desire for this magic tool was very small. ¡°Starting bid, 2 million.¡± The extremely high starting bid made the sky umbrella even more undesired. The auction hall fell into a long period of silence. No one was willing to bid. Lin Mo had set the starting price to be ridiculously high. Time passed. Just like that, five minutes passed. Lin Mo was silent. The audience was also silent. Everyone in the private room was also silent. In the end, someone in the hall couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Field owner Lin, the sky umbrella has always been an unpopular item. You still set such a high price. I can only let it go.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the auction today will not be held. If we don¡¯t finish the auction, we will continue tomorrow night¡­¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. Who cares? If his reputation was ruined, so be it. For Jiang Xiyue and for himself¡­ ¡°You¡­ aren¡¯t you ruining your reputation? If you do this, who will come to your auction in the future¡­¡± That person said, not understanding why Lin Mo was like this. They sympathized with Yue Xuan and Purple Moon Palace when they were attacked, but it shouldn¡¯t be to such an extent that they were lacking spirit stones. ¡°Your Highness, how much has father suppressed him? This Lin Mo doesn¡¯t even care about his reputation?¡±In the Crown Prince¡¯s private room, the second prince was somewhat stunned. After Lin Mo¡¯s operation, Yue Xuan¡¯s reputation was very good. The endless treasures attracted many merchants who were willing to cooperate with Yue Xuan. The spirit stones they earned during this period of time made them very envious, but they couldn¡¯t do anything about it. If it weren¡¯t for the crown prince who benefited from Lin Mo¡¯s auction, he would have long stopped Yue Xuan from developing. ¡°The suppression is very strong. Father suspects that Jiang Xiyue is going to rebel because the Purple Moon Palace Treasury is empty¡­¡±the crown prince said. ¡°Empty?¡± The second prince was shocked. They didn¡¯t know how many spirit stones Jiang Xiyue¡¯s Yue Xuan earned, but they had a rough idea. It had been developing over the years. As Jiang Xiyue¡¯s operations continued to grow, there must be a few billion middle-grade spirit stones. Jiang Xiyue had raised more than a dozen elders to guard Purple Moon Palace. He was also clear about this. However, these people clearly could not digest a few billion middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°An army? Does she have a battle formation?¡±The second prince cried out in surprise. ¡°I don¡¯t know. After all, Yue Xuan¡¯s business is connected to the four great divine empires. Perhaps she really does have a battle formation¡­¡± The crown prince shook his head. He had indeed underestimated Jiang Xiyue. In the past, Jiang Xiyue had only displayed her talent to the outside world. However, he had not paid much attention to it. He had always been the number one on the ranking list. It was not until this preliminary round that he realized that he had been wrong. Now that he had a fair duel with Jiang Xiyue, he was not confident that he could win. There was even a high chance that he would lose¡­ ¡°Forget it. Father will help me deal with her. The throne can only be mine.¡± The crown prince shook his head and did not continue the discussion. He looked at Lin Mo, who was still waiting for a bid, and said, ¡°I bid two million.¡± The calm was broken, and the crown prince placed his bid. Although it was the starting price, it allowed the auction to proceed smoothly. ¡°Congratulations, Your Highness, for successfully bidding for the Sky Net Umbrella.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He finally could not hold it in anymore. With the yin-yang Jade, he was not afraid that they would not bid. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank rank 6 Sky Net umbrella ] [ triggered 2,000 times the auction profit ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Spirit Rank 7 profound mysteries umbrella ] Looking at this magical artifact, Lin Mo pondered for a moment before clenching his teeth and taking it out. ¡°The next auction item, the Spirit Rank 7 profound mysteries umbrella, starts at 5,000,000. Let the bidding begin.¡± Again? Everyone was stunned, the corners of their mouths twitching. Where did this Lin Mo get so many unpopular spiritual artifacts. Furthermore, the price was so expensive, who would want to buy it¡­ ¡°Field owner Lin, if you do this, no one will be willing to participate in the next auction¡­¡± Someone said unhappily. The starting price of five million was still such an unpopular spiritual artifact. Lin Mo was destroying his own reputation¡­ Who knew that just as that person finished speaking, Saintess Xia you stood up and said, ¡°I bid five million¡­¡± Chapter 412 - Yin Saintess Xia You¡¯s bid surprised everyone. Saintess Xia you used a sword, but she didn¡¯t have an umbrella with her. ¡°It¡¯s a little strange. Saintess Xia you and the Crown Prince¡¯s behavior is really abnormal.¡± In some private rooms, the clan leaders of various clans whispered. The reason why so many people could gather at this auction was because Saintess Xia you had asked Lin Mo when the auction would be held. Everyone felt that Lin Mo had found a treasure in the danger zone, but it wasn¡¯t suitable for him. And Saintess Xia you just happened to need it, so Lin Mo agreed to the auction. Right now, the crown prince and Saintess Xia you were both waiting for the treasure¡¯s finale to appear. For this reason, they didn¡¯t hesitate to spend a huge amount of spirit stones to purchase the auction items. ¡°Hehe, just do it. Let¡¯s leave the money and fight for the final treasure.¡± Some people immediately sneered and chose to stop. They just watched Lin Mo auction like this. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to Saintess Xia you for successfully auctioning this profound mysteries umbrella.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo smiled slightly. It was just a treasure. As long as he could successfully auction it, he would not lack anything. Now, as long as the auction proceeded smoothly, he would be able to obtain a huge amount of spirit stones. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is the egg of the demonic beast fire plume bird. This kind of bird is extremely rare and will recognize its master as soon as it is born. Its loyalty level is very high.¡± ¡°However, the growth of the fire plume bird requires a large amount of fire elemental energy. If there aren¡¯t any guests from a certain faction, I suggest not auctioning it off.¡± ¡°The starting bid for a spirit level fifth rank fire plume bird egg is 1.5 million. Each increment must not be less than 100,000.¡± The last sentence was basically nonsense. Because of his extremely high starting bid, very few people were willing to bid. ¡°Hehe, a fire plume bird egg. interesting. I bid 1.5 million.¡± A light laugh sounded. It was the peacock spirit clan¡¯s clan leader, Kong Xiu. However, he did not know why this person wanted to auction the fire plume bird egg. ¡°Clan leader Kong Xiu has bid 1.5 million, is there anyone else bidding?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. The situation was very awkward, as no one was willing to pay attention to him. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t waste any time. He dropped the auction hammer on the spot and the auction was completed. [ congratulations host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 5 fire plume bird egg ] [ successfully triggered 3,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ congratulations host for obtaining the spirit rank 6 Scarlet Flaming Eagle Egg ] Looking at the rebate treasure, Lin Mo shook his head slightly. The Scarlet Flaming Eagle was similar to the fire plume bird, they were both ordinary demonic beasts. However, due to the rapid growth rate of this type of demonic beast, its grade was so high. ¡°Who Cares, sell it.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and immediately took out the Scarlet Flaming Eagle Egg. He knocked on the auction hammer and said, ¡°Spirit rank 6 Scarlet Flaming Eagle Egg, the starting price is 2.5 million.¡± This time, even Kong Xiu did not bid anymore and chose to watch from the sidelines. Finally, a lazy voice sounded. This surprised Lin Mo. it was the fourth Prince¡¯s voice. Ever since this subordinate who had been brought into the danger zone had been killed by Lin Mo and the others and was still unconscious, he had already withdrawn from the fight for the throne. It was not just him. The seventh prince was the same. The Holy Land that supported them had all defected, and all of them had defected to the Crown Prince and the second prince. As for Jiang Xiyue, no one came over. Obviously, they also knew that Jiang Xiyue was now targeted by the emperor. She probably had no hope of rising. ¡°The Scarlet Flame Eagle is not bad. It¡¯s easy to raise it. I¡¯ll take it. 2.6 million.¡± There was another bid. This was a common thing in the auction, but now it was very rare. ¡°This voice is from the White Tiger Marquis. hasn¡¯t he been in seclusion?¡± Someone exclaimed. Ever since the White Tiger Marquis auctioned off the true dragon bloodline, he had been in seclusion and rarely appeared. Who would have thought that he would appear now and even participate in the bidding. ¡°Since the White Tiger Marquis wants it, then it¡¯s not good for me to fight for it anymore. I¡¯ll give it to you,¡±the fourth Prince said again and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°He¡¯s depressed. It seems like he¡¯s given up¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He could hear the helplessness and loneliness in the fourth Prince¡¯s voice. This could be considered a good thing. The people who supported him had all defected, but they had also saved their lives. However, Jiang Xiyue was different. Her threat was too great. The emperor might not allow Jiang Xiyue to live¡­ ¡°2,600,000 three times, sold. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in private room No. 7 for winning the Scarlet Flame Eagle Egg.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and completed the transaction with the White Tiger Marquis. While handing over the spirit stones, the White Tiger Marquis¡¯eyes flickered as he spoke slowly. ¡°Run¡­¡± After saying this, the White Tiger Marquis left with the Scarlet Flaming Eagle Egg, not intending to participate in the remaining auction. ¡°What does this mean?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback, not understanding what the White Tiger Marquis meant. ¡°Could it be that the emperor is still making a move?¡± When this thought appeared, Lin Mo was instantly shocked. At this moment, in the Purple Moon Palace, an army was surrounding this place. They had entered the territory of the Purple Moon Palace and were approaching the palace in the center. Luo Haoyu, who was originally guarding the outer perimeter of the palace, instantly reacted and appeared outside the palace. He looked coldly at the soldiers in front of him and shouted, ¡°What do you mean by setting up a battle formation here?¡± ¡°Brother Luo, long time no see. How have you been? How about we have a chat?¡± In the army, an old man in golden armor walked out and flew into the sky. He looked at Luo Haoyu with a smile on his face. ¡°Heavenly King Wu¡­¡± ¡­ ¡°Everyone, I originally planned to use the next item as the finale. However, I have brought it out in advance. If you are interested, you can participate in the auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly, and a black and white jade the size of a thumb appeared in his hand. As soon as this jade appeared, yin and yang qi surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body, and precious light radiated in all directions. ¡°This is the yin-yang Jade, a Tier 3 earth grade treasure. Its effect is to balance the various types of energy within the body, and is extremely important for future cultivation.¡± ¡°What, Tier 3 Earth Grade Treasure?¡± ¡°Did I hear wrongly? Do We really have a Tier 3 earth grade treasure in the eastern continent?¡± ¡°No Wonder Saintess Xia You is so excited. So it¡¯s this item.¡± The crowd instantly erupted. A Tier 3 earth grade treasure. This could be said to be the most precious treasure that had ever appeared in Yue Xuan. ¡°Brother Lin, there¡¯s no need to introduce too much. Tell me the price.¡± The private room at the front opened and Saintess Xia you walked out. Following that, a few people from the other private rooms also appeared. Amidst the discussions of the people, Lin Mo was slightly surprised. The people who came were all important figures. The Southern King, the Northern King, the current head of the Heavenly King Manor, Jin Hai. ¡°Roar¡­¡± Suddenly, a tiger¡¯s roar was heard. A powerful energy fluctuation spread. In front of the auction stage, two men in night suits fell from the space. Fresh blood flowed. The lives of these two people had been ended. At this moment, the White Tiger Marquis, who had just left, appeared once again on the auction stage. He looked coldly at the crowd below. ¡°This is an auction. Follow the auction rules, or Die¡­¡± The White Tiger Marquis said coldly. The Tiger¡¯s Roar in his throat carried a faint dragon¡¯s roar, shocking everyone. ¡°Hehe, White Tiger Marquis, what is your relationship with this Lin Mo? You are actually willing to stand up for him?¡± At this time Zhennan Wang somewhat curiously asked. Chapter 413 - Barter From what he knew, the White Tiger Marquis was decisive and cold-blooded. Helping him would never happen to him. ¡°I owe you a favor, and now it¡¯s time to pay it back,¡±the White Tiger Marquis said coldly. The two of them had been waiting here for a long time. It seemed like they weren¡¯t here to snatch the auction items, but to kill Lin Mo. . ¡°Senior, is this what you said about running away?¡±Lin Mo asked telepathically. With the White Tiger Marquis around, he was not worried that his voice transmission would be intercepted. ¡°No¡­¡± The White Tiger Marquis replied telepathically. Such an answer made Lin Mo feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was now almost certain that the Emperor had taken action. Jiang Xiyue was in danger, and not just her. Bai Luo, Lin Die, Yan Rong, and the others¡­ ¡°We naturally understand the rules of the auction. However, brother Lin, how much do you intend to sell this yin-yang Jade for?¡± Saintess Xiyou chuckled and asked for the starting price. ¡°The starting price is one billion middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo smiled and called out a high starting price. ¡°What? One billion? Are you kidding me?¡± ¡°Yeah, who could afford such a price? Even if they could, they wouldn¡¯t buy it.¡± The crowd discussed animatedly, not understanding why Lin Mo had set such a high starting price. ¡°Brother Lin, this joke isn¡¯t funny.¡± Saintess Xia you said. One billion middle-grade spirit stones, even if it was the sacred land of divine secrets, taking it out would still hurt one¡¯s bones and tendons. Moreover, the yin-yang Jade wasn¡¯t worth such a price. Lin Mo was obviously making things difficult for everyone. ¡°Bartering is fine too, I don¡¯t mind.¡±Lin Mo smiled. He naturally didn¡¯t expect anyone to be able to take it out. ¡°Then what do you want, brother Lin?¡±Saintess Xia You¡¯s expression softened as she asked. ¡°Simple. A large-scale spatial teleportation array with an array diagram and disk. Whoever takes it out will get the yin-yang Jade.¡± Lin Mo waved the yin-yang jade in his hand. Danger was approaching, so he had to hurry. ¡°Also, the rules of the auction have to be changed. The yin-yang Jade will be auctioned off in one minute. I will destroy it on the spot.¡± He gave an ultimatum. The crown prince¡¯s expression was inexplicable as he looked at Lin Mo with a smile. ¡°Kid, do you know what you are talking about?¡±The northern King said coldly. He was very tempted when he saw the treasure, but he did not expect Lin Mo to make things so difficult. ¡°The large-scale spatial teleportation array that matches the yin-yang Jade is at least a spirit rank 9. You want us to take it out in one minute? How is that possible?¡± The Prince of Zhennan also said. This was too difficult. It was simply impossible to achieve. ¡°I didn¡¯t say I wanted a spirit rank 9. The higher the rank, the better. But if it¡¯s only a spirit rank 1, then I don¡¯t mind.¡±Lin Mo spread out his hands. Hearing this, the crown prince and Saintess Xia you were stunned at the same time. They didn¡¯t understand what Lin Mo was doing. ¡°Super large-scale spatial teleportation array. I have it here. It¡¯s a spirit rank 3. The array disk and the array diagram are in good condition.¡± In the hall, a middle-aged man stood up, holding an array disk in his hand. In the next moment, everyone¡¯s gazes turned to him, staring fixedly at the array disk. ¡°Little friend, sell this array disk to me for 2,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones,¡±Prince Zhennan said immediately. He appeared in front of this person in a flash, his gaze cold. The middle-aged man¡¯s excited heart instantly cooled down. Only now did he realize how naive he was. Was an earth rank 3 treasure really something he could take away. In comparison, he had earned quite a bit from 2,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Thus, he nodded his head. ¡°Lord Zhennan King, my formation can only teleport from here to outside the imperial city. The distance isn¡¯t too far.¡± Hearing this, Zhennan King looked at Lin Mo and saw that Lin Mo had nodded his head. Then, a smile finally appeared on his face. After throwing the two million middle-grade spirit stones to the man, Zhennan King flew up to the auction stage and prepared to trade with Lin Mo. . ¡°Wait, I have a spirit rank 4.¡± Right at this moment, Saintess Xia you opened her mouth and took out an array formation and an array plate, a spirit rank 4 teleportation array. ¡°This array formation doesn¡¯t cover a large area, but it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for it to teleport over a hundred people away. As for the distance, it can teleport over five thousand li away from the imperial city.¡± She pointed at the teleportation array in her hand. This item was of great value and was extremely useful. ¡°Only these two? Do you have any more? I¡¯ll tell you the truth. If you give me these two teleportation arrays together, I can exchange them for the yin-yang Jade,¡±Lin Mo said. One teleportation array wasn¡¯t safe. If she gave them two together, she might be able to obtain a better teleportation array. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re a little greedy.¡± Saintess Xia you said with a frown. Zhennan Wang obviously wanted the yin-yang Jade too, so how could she buy it from him. ¡°I still have seven space talismans here that can penetrate the battle formation. Brother Lin, you should want them.¡± At this time, Li Long walked out and stood with Saintess Xia you. ¡°Okay, deal. The yin-yang Jade is yours.¡± Lin Mo nodded. The space talismans were not bad, and he could bring a few more people out of here. [ congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off the Earth rank 3 Ultimate Treasure, yin-yang Jade ] [ although the auction had suffered a huge loss, this was due to the host changing the auction rules. As such, there was no compensation, triggering the 5,000 times auction return. ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining the Earth rank 4 Ultimate Treasure, yin-yang Jade ] The return was still the yin-yang Jade, but it was obviously much larger. What made Lin Mo feel regretful was that there was no compensation. However, he couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to this. The most important thing now was to escape. At this moment, Huixiang and Tang Chen also appeared on the auction stage. Tang Chen directly said to everyone in the hall, ¡°The auction has reached the final stage. There¡¯s no need for all of you to participate anymore. You can leave now.¡± Under the question marks on everyone¡¯s faces in the hall, these people were chased out. Before they left, some people even started to curse, saying that Yue Xuan was a rubbish place to chase away customers. ¡°Lin Mo, where¡¯s the next piece of yin-yang Jade, or are you going to renege on your promise?¡± The crown prince hurriedly said at this moment. He wanted to buy a piece of Yin-yang jade from the Prince of Zhennan. ¡°Don¡¯t panic, the auction isn¡¯t over yet. The next item is a spirit rank 4 spatial teleportation array, along with a few talismans. The starting price is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo laughed. He had Tang Chen Chase away the guests, leaving Zhennan Wang and the others behind. Naturally, his motive was to prevent these people from bidding. ¡°System, will I break the rules by doing this? Will you return the profits to me?¡±At this point, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t make up his mind as he asked in his heart. [ as long as the auctioneer isn¡¯t someone arranged by the host, all methods can be used. However, host, please take note of the reputation of the auction house. ] The system reminded him that there was no violation of the rules. It only wanted him to take note of his reputation. ¡°I¡¯m about to lose my life. Who cares about reputation?¡± Lin Mo curled his lips. As long as the system would return the profits, he was not afraid. ¡°Lin Mo, what exactly are you doing? After obtaining the spatial teleportation array, you want to sell it. Aren¡¯t you planning to escape?¡± The crown prince said coldly, ¡°To tell you the truth, the Purple Moon Palace is already surrounded by battle formations. It¡¯s too late for you to return with the teleportation array now.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a chance. Give me the yin-yang Jade. After you personally kill Jiang Xiyue, I¡¯ll make you the number one official.¡± He told this important piece of news to Lin Mo and once again extended an olive branch. Chapter 414 - Earth Grade Spatial Teleportation Formation ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. This spatial teleportation formation, together with a spatial talisman, has a base price of 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Who Wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo roared. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll bid 100,000. Let¡¯s see what you can do then.¡± The crown prince sneered as he tossed 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones to Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The system notification sounded out as well, causing Lin Mo to finally relax. [Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off a spirit rank 4 spatial teleportation formation and a spirit rank 6 spatial talisman.] [This auction has suffered heavy losses. The system will compensate you, triggering a 30,000 rebate from the auction. ] [Congratulations host for obtaining an Earth rank 1 spatial teleportation formation and an Earth rank 2 spatial talisman ] An earth rank spatial teleportation formation and an Earth rank spatial talisman. It was almost impossible to find such a formation in the eastern continent. It could only be seen in ancient times. Lin Mo took a quick look. Once the teleportation formation was activated, it could pierce through the void and even take them across the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Hehe, we are already considered enemies. I have no need to keep my promise to my enemies.¡± Lin Mo felt much more relaxed now that he had finally obtained the means to escape. Looking at the crown prince who was waiting for the next piece of yin-yang jade, Lin Mo would rather not receive any rewards for the time being in order to disgust him. ¡°Jiang Cheng, right? I will come and take your life sooner or later.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo looked behind him. Tang Chen and Huixiang had already brought a few people to his back. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, these are the palace lord¡¯s trusted aides. Can you really take them all?¡± Hui Xiang was a little nervous. At this moment, the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Zhenbei had already locked their auras onto Lin Mo¡¯s body. The terrifying pressure caused cracks to appear on the auction stage beneath Lin Mo¡¯s feet. ¡°Junior, hand over the yin-yang Jade and surrender,¡± the Prince of Zhennan said. The northern king nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Lord White Tiger, you¡¯ve repaid your favor, right? Now, please come with us to capture the traitor.¡± At this moment, a pale yellow treasure box appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, emitting a faint light. ¡°What a strange magic tool?¡± Saintess Xia You was shocked. She could tell that the treasure box in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was not simple. ¡°Don¡¯t resist. Come in.¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly. This was the blueprint of the spatial magic tool that Lin Mo had obtained back then. However, his skills weren¡¯t good. Although he had refined it, its effects were greatly reduced. It could accommodate living beings, but it could only last for six hours. Moreover, it was a one-time use item. After six hours, it would be completely destroyed. It was perfect for escaping now. After keeping Tang Chen and the others in the spatial treasure box, Lin Mo took out an earth grade tier 2 spatial talisman from the system space. The expressions of the southern king and the northern king changed. They had thought that victory was within their grasp, but who would have thought that Lin Mo already had a spatial talisman in his hands. ¡°Everyone, farewell.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words were left on the auction stage, and in the next moment, his figure disappeared. It was only at this moment that the northern king and southern king¡¯s attacks arrived, shattering the auction stage. As for Lin Mo¡¯s figure, he had long since disappeared. In the endless void, Lin Mo flew towards the Purple Moon Palace at an extremely fast speed. In almost an instant, space split apart. ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°Hiss!¡± As soon as he appeared, a terrifying explosion sounded. Apart from that, there was also the mournful roar of a beast. Lin Mo looked around and his eyes were about to crack. The original location of the Purple Moon Palace had long been razed to the ground. Jiang Xiyue and the others could not even be seen. ¡°Lin Mo, why are you here?¡± At this moment, an exclamation was heard. It was Luo Haoyu. Lin Mo felt his wrist being grabbed by a pair of powerful hands and pulled up abruptly. In the next moment, a violent explosion was heard from where he had just stood. Thick smoke rose up. Amidst the flames of the explosion, a pitch-black Python flew out and gave pursuit relentlessly. At the same time, Lin Mo felt a suction force. In the distance, there was a gorgeous figure wearing light purple armor. In her hand was Lin Die¡¯s radiant sun spear. ¡°Senior Qiluo¡­ No, Xiyue?¡± Lin Mo asked. Qiluo was currently activating a jade bottle, wanting to keep Lin Mo inside. ¡°Don¡¯t speak. Xiyue and the others are inside. Come in as well. Elder Luo and I will lead you out.¡± Her face was still a little pale. After ten thousand years of treatment with the earth milk, her injuries had completely healed. However, the nine neonate¡¯s inner core had not been completely refined yet, so its combat strength was slightly weaker at this time. Even so, she relied on the radiant sun spear and fought like a Valkyrie in the encirclement of more than ten Nirvana Realm powerhouses. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I can bring you all out and gather here with me.¡± Lin Mo hurriedly said. He took out an array disk which was the earth grade rank 1 spatial teleportation array that he had just obtained through the rebate. ¡°Stop him!¡± An old man in golden armor had a sharp gaze. When he saw Lin Mo take out the teleportation array, he immediately shouted. ¡°Heavenly King Wu, who do you think I am?¡± Luo Haoyu coldly shouted. The two of them erupted with terrifying battle shockwaves, which slightly shocked Lin Mo. ¡°Eighth sky of the Nirvana realm, elder Luo¡¯s strength is actually so powerful.¡± However, this also allowed Lin Mo to see the foundation of the imperial family. Even someone in the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm was unable to dominate the field¡­ The Martial Heavenly King in Golden Armor fought with Luo Haoyu to a standstill. As for the other side, Qiluo had already gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position. Her old injuries had just recovered, and she had already experienced such a fierce battle. She was about to be unable to hold on any longer. ¡°Hold on for a while. It¡¯ll be over soon.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s forehead was already covered in cold sweat. The amount of spiritual energy required to activate the teleportation formation was truly too much. Fortunately, he had the God-Devouring Body and was able to devour the surrounding spiritual energy continuously. Otherwise, he really might not be able to hold on. ¡°Send out one person to kill him. You bunch of trash can¡¯t even kill a woman,¡± Heavenly King Wu roared furiously. More than ten fifth-sky Nirvana realm experts besieged Qiluo, but they still couldn¡¯t kill her after fighting for so long. ¡°Heavenly King Wu, Qiluo has a half-step earth grade defensive magic weapon and a rank three earth grade magic weapon spear. It¡¯s not easy to kill her.¡± Some people said bitterly. It was disgraceful for more than ten people to besiege a woman who was seriously injured. Now that they couldn¡¯t kill her, it was even more disgraceful. ¡°Cut the crap. Stop that kid quickly. Otherwise, all of you will receive your punishment.¡± Heavenly King Wu roared. At this moment, his palm was slightly trembling. If it were not for this attack, they would not even know that Jiang Xiyue had hidden so many trump cards. Qiluo, who had outstanding combat strength, also had such a powerful spiritual artifact. Luo Haoyu was the same. He had always said to the outside world that he was stuck at the peak of the seventh sky of the Nirvana realm and could not make any progress in his cultivation. But now, he had already entered the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm and was even slightly stronger than him. And now, this junior who suddenly appeared was also in control of such an exquisite teleportation formation. Once he activated it, he might really be able to escape. ¡°Junior, stop.¡± At this moment, Lin Mo was still focused on activating the teleportation formation, but an old man had already walked towards him. He stretched out a pair of skinny hands and grabbed at Lin Mo. ¡°Old man, don¡¯t get in my way.¡± Lin Mo cursed angrily. He was at a crucial moment right now. If they were to be disturbed, they might really have to stay here. Chapter 415 - The Moment of Life and Death The Kun Peng Wings spread out. Lin Mo could not be bothered to cover it up. He increased his speed and shook it off. However, his body had only managed to move 400 to 500 meters when he crashed into a huge energy barrier. ¡°Bang.¡± Although this was an energy barrier, it was like an iron wall. Even the formation that Lin Mo had activated almost lost its stability. ¡°This is a battle formation?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. No wonder Luo Haoyu and Qiluo didn¡¯t escape. It turned out that this place had already been sealed off by the battle formation. ¡°Where are you going, Junior?¡± The old man caught up from behind. Just as a pair of sharp claws were about to grab Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder, a black figure appeared. In the next moment, a pitch-black figure appeared and blocked Lin Mo. This was the origin soul puppet. However, Lin Mo was unable to control his soul. He could only passively defend against one attack. Soon after, the puppet fell. Lin Mo could only watch as the distance between him and the old man gradually closed. ¡°Just a little more¡­¡± Lin Mo growled in a low voice. Just a little more. As long as he could hold on, he would be able to lead everyone and escape. ¡°Li Guangming, you¡¯re already so big. Are you still bullying the younger generation?¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s voice rang out. He sensed that Lin Mo was in danger and appeared as if he had teleported. He slapped down with his palm and smashed the old man into meat paste. ¡°Elder Luo.¡± Lin Mo was shocked because there was a broken flag on Luo Haoyu¡¯s left shoulder. Blood was dripping. In order to save him, Luo Haoyu was also injured by Heavenly King Wu. ¡°Qiluo, come here.¡± Luo Haoyu shouted. The teleportation formation had been activated and was running. They would be able to leave soon. ¡°Humph, you can¡¯t leave.¡± Heavenly King Wu came to the front and said coldly. However, he didn¡¯t stop the teleportation formation from running. He turned around and rushed toward Qiluo. Although the orders were to leave no one alive, the most important thing was still Jiang Xiyue. Moreover, Qiluo had an earth grade third rank magic weapon, the long spear. This was even higher quality than the nation-guarding magic weapon, the flame god Spear. As long as it could be left alive, the battle prowess of the Yanhuang dynasty would be greatly increased. ¡°Lin Mo, wait for Qiluo to come over and activate the teleportation formation. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Seeing this, Luo Haoyu instructed and was about to make his move. ¡°No need. Leave it to me.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and took the initiative to charge forward with the teleportation formation. At the same time, a jade the size of an infant¡¯s fist appeared in his hand. Black and white, yin and yang qi filled the air. This was the yin-yang jade that was given back from the auction. He used the vermilion bird technique¡¯s ¡°Four Cloud Piercing Spirits¡± and injected the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame into it. In an instant, the energy in the yin-yang jade started to become unstable. Luo Haoyu¡¯s expression changed drastically. Even Heavenly King Wu in front was shocked. The energy in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was too terrifying. ¡°Explode!¡± Lin Mo threw out the yin-yang jade in his hand. His target was right in front of Heavenly King Wu. His figure also quickly caught up with Heavenly King Wu and smoothly regrouped with Qi Luo. The teleportation formation was activated. Following a spatial fluctuation, the three people¡¯s figures disappeared. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± The yin-yang energy was detonated. The yin-yang jade, a 4th tier earth grade treasure, contained a lot of energy. When it exploded, it was equivalent to a seventh sky of Nirvana realm expert self-detonating. The power was obvious. Even Heavenly King Wu didn¡¯t dare to take it head-on. He quickly tore open the space and escaped. As for the fifth sky of Nirvana realm experts who were chasing after Qi Luo, they were already torn apart by the violent energy. The army that formed a battle formation not far away also suffered heavy losses. The battle formation was broken, and more than half of the soldiers were killed or injured. As the thick smoke dispersed, a huge crater with a diameter of 10,000 meters appeared in the Purple Moon Palace after the explosion. Heavenly King Wu looked down with a gloomy expression. He had escaped. This encirclement had not achieved anything. On the contrary, they had suffered heavy losses. ¡°Bastard¡­¡± He let out an indignant roar, but it was useless. At this moment, Lin Mo, who had detonated the yin-yang jade, was also in a bad mood. Although the explosion did not affect him, a wisp of Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was attached to the yin-yang Jade. He needed to maintain the balance between yin and yang. Otherwise, before he could throw it out, it would explode in his hands. And it was precisely because of this that his face turned pale. His soul had been injured, and he needed time to recover. ¡°Where are we going next?¡± Lin Mo clenched his teeth and asked. ¡°The rock forbidden ground. The most dangerous place is usually the safest place.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo and the others had been released by the damask. They felt like they had survived a disaster. Bai Luo suggested that they go to the rock forbidden ground. She could break some of the formations there and use some higher-level formations to avoid many dangers. ¡°Sure. This formation is earth-grade. It won¡¯t be a problem even if we leave the Yanhuang Divine Empire.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Bai Luo and the others didn¡¯t ask why he had an earth-grade array formation. Obviously, they knew that even if they asked, Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t tell them. ¡°You can break through the monolith forbidden ground? Are you serious?¡± Qiluo looked at Bai Luo in disbelief. The purple armor on her body was given by Bai Luo, the Sun Spear was given by Lin Die, and the jade bottle that contained Jiang Xiyue and the others was also given by Bai Luo. This girl¡¯s background was too mysterious. She had a lot of treasures, but she had never heard of this person before. ¡°It¡¯s okay to go in, but you can¡¯t touch any of the treasures inside.¡± Bai Luo spread her hands. It was okay to treat the inside as a shelter, but she did not have the ability to travel freely in the forbidden rock. The earth level teleportation array was very fast. In less than ten minutes, they had arrived at the periphery of the forbidden rock. At this moment, there were still some mercenary groups stationed there. They all wanted to enter to try their luck. These were desperadoes who were willing to risk their lives for the treasures. 90% of the people who entered the monolith forbidden ground would die inside. However, the 10% who survived would usually be able to bring out many good items. These good items were not cheap. Moreover, the Yanhuang Divine Empire was willing to pay a high price to purchase the treasures in the monolith forbidden ground. This also caused quite a number of people to come here despite the danger. ¡°We¡¯re here. How do we enter?¡± Lin Mo asked. Just getting close to this place made his hair stand on end. This was because there was a killing array here, and it was activated. ¡°Just stick these runes on it. As long as you don¡¯t touch anything, nothing will happen.¡± Bai Luo took out a few light green talisman papers from his storage ring. They were surrounded by the killing array¡¯s aura. ¡°This is¡­ The dutian god-slaying array?¡± Lin Mo and Lin Die cried out in surprise. They were very familiar with the aura on these talisman papers. ¡°That¡¯s right, the dutian god-slaying array. Ever since I got it, I¡¯ve been trying to comprehend it. Although I¡¯m not good at formations, the talismans are not bad. I can create talisman papers with similar effects.¡± Bai Luo smiled smugly. These talismans could only last for six hours. When the time was up, she would have to change them. She generously took out a stack and gave each of them more than ten pieces. ¡°After we go in, we¡¯ll find a safe place and cultivate there. We¡¯ll recover from our injuries.¡± In any case, they were probably wanted by now. If they went out, they would also be hunted down. It was better to hide first. ¡°Besides, it¡¯s time for the three of us to break through to Nirvana realm¡­¡± Chapter 416 - Breakthrough One After Another Bai Luo¡¯s words stunned everyone. After breaking through to the Nirvana realm, weren¡¯t the treasures in the Rock Forbidden Ground untouchable? Without the support of resources, it would be a little difficult to break through to the Nirvana Realm. ¡°You should have the resources on you, right?¡± Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo. this fellow went out for a trip and definitely obtained treasures. However, he didn¡¯t know how many there were. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s enough for the two of you to break through,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. As for what he needed to break through, he could only get rid of Bai Luo. He had to refine all of the spirit stones in the entire monolith forbidden ground. ¡°Follow me.¡± Under the curious gazes of Luo Haoyu, Qiluo, and the others, everyone used their runes to enter the monolith forbidden ground. Just as Bai Luo said, they didn¡¯t trigger any formations, but they could sense the danger all the time. ¡°This place is so oppressive¡­¡± Lin Die frowned. As an innate precious beast, it was very difficult for her to calm down in such a place. The surroundings were filled with danger, and she instinctively wanted to escape, unwilling to stay. Bai Luo had obviously been to the monolith forbidden ground before, so she was very familiar with the layout inside. Soon, she led the group to an empty place. ¡°Let¡¯s stay here. It¡¯s very safe. Without my talismans, we can only force our way in. Let¡¯s rest and recuperate.¡± After giving them some instructions, Lin Mo took out all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had obtained this time. Apart from that, he also had a lot of spirit stones. These treasures were enough to support Jiang Xiyue and the others in their cultivation. As for Bai Luo, she had enough cultivation resources on her own. ¡°Follow me.¡± After settling everything, Bai Luo¡¯s hand seals changed, opening a hole in the space and bringing Lin Mo in. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re going home here¡­¡± Walking in the space passage, Lin Mo cursed in his heart. He followed Bai Luo and came to the bottom of the monolith forbidden ground. Here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant, and all kinds of runes flickered. This was an independent space, as if it was a paradise. Lin Mo¡¯s heart was shocked, and he carefully examined his surroundings. This monolith forbidden ground was too extraordinary, but he didn¡¯t know who had left it behind. Bai Luo¡¯s face was filled with joy. There were many treasures in this place, and she had made up her mind to plunder it. ¡°Cough cough, that, does this place have any treasures for me?¡± Lin Mo thickened his skin and reminded her. There were too many treasures in this space, and he longed for them. Bai Luo turned her head and glared at Lin Mo. her pearly white teeth clenched slightly, and finally, she revealed a helpless smile. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll split it equally, but we have to break the array first.¡± She reminded Lin Mo that the treasures in this place could not be moved. With the protection of the powerful killing array, if he were to act rashly, it would probably affect his whole body. ¡°How do we break the array?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Naturally, it¡¯s the God-Devouring body. Therefore, only you can break the array here,¡± Bai Luo explained. The killing array in this place was maintained by the abundant spiritual energy in the spirit mine. As long as the energy in the spirit mine was absorbed, it could be easily broken. ¡°It¡¯s that simple?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. There were many ways to absorb the energy in the spirit mine. Since ancient times, it was impossible for no one to discover it. ¡°Of course not. Without my help, even the God-Devouring Body wouldn¡¯t be able to absorb it.¡± Bai Luo shook her head. As long as she could enter this space, she would be able to break the formation. However, she wasn¡¯t the God-Devouring Body, so she couldn¡¯t absorb that much energy. Thus, she could only rely on Lin Mo. ¡°This rock forbidden ground can only be considered a forbidden ground in the eastern continent. If it were in our continent, it would have been dug out long ago.¡± Bai Luo curled her lips. The subclass she practiced had array formations and talismans, so she browsed through quite a number of killing array formations. Only by learning by analogy could she rely on the dutian god-slaying array to roam freely in the monolith forbidden ground. As most of the inheritances in the eastern continent were in the forbidden ground, this also caused the five of them to have seen high-level killing arrays. Even a ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to enter. ¡°Then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. I¡¯ll start cultivating now.¡± Lin Mo and Bai Luo said and sat cross-legged on the ground. They slightly revolved the god devouring art and started cultivating. This place was a treasure land. The energy was too abundant. It could even be said that the spirit ore outside the monolith forbidden land was emitted by the energy here. Bai Luo didn¡¯t disturb Lin Mo when she saw him cultivating in seclusion. The God-Devouring Body revolved at this moment and would absorb all the energy in the surroundings. This place wasn¡¯t suitable for her to cultivate. She turned around and left, returning to where Jiang Xiyue and the others were. At this time, Luo Haoyu had consumed a panacea and his injuries had healed. He left this place. Jiang Xiyue still had some forces outside. He had to rush to rescue her. He couldn¡¯t let all his years of hard work be destroyed in one fell swoop. ¡°Elder Luo, it¡¯s best to be careful,¡± Jiang Xiyue said worriedly. Bai Luo returned and started to cultivate with Jiang Xiyue. The others all chose to cultivate in seclusion, including Qi Luo. She was still refining the nine-neonate inner core. Once she refined it, not only could she recover her strength, but her realm would also be improved. Several days passed. The space where Lin Mo was now formed an energy vortex. The energy in the space was constantly being absorbed. All kinds of runes surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body. The God-Devouring Body domain spread out and circulated in it. Lin Mo benefited a lot as his body was refined again and again. As time passed, the entire eastern continent was in an uproar. Every place was starting a war for cultivation resources. However, the monolith forbidden land was exceptionally peaceful. The old men had recovered from their injuries and had nothing to do. However, they didn¡¯t go out and waited for Jiang Xiyue and the others to come out of their closed-door cultivation. At this moment, the outside world was already in an uproar. The second prince was the first to break through and within a month, he broke through to the Nirvana Realm. The fourth prince and the seventh prince broke through one after another and were conferred the title of King along with the second prince. As for crown prince Jiang Cheng, he was still in seclusion in the eastern palace. However, from the commotion that came from the palace, this breakthrough would be a transformation for the crown prince. ¡°He¡¯s too powerful. His highness the crown prince is indeed worthy of being the number one genius on the Board of Fame. The commotion of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm is actually so great.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that the eighth princess and Lin Mo. just what happened a month ago?¡± ¡°Shut up. Do you want to bring disaster to your sect?¡± Some passers-by discussed. A month ago. People were still guessing who would be the top scorer at the Jingdou Dao Conference. There were also quite a few people who believed in Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue. This was because Jiang Xiyue had concealed herself very deeply. Her battle prowess was definitely not weak. However, a sudden piece of news broke everyone¡¯s guesses. The eighth princess had attempted a rebellion and had already stripped her of her identity as a princess. She had been demoted to a commoner and the Purple Moon Palace and Yue Xuan had been removed from the world. The Punishment Hall¡¯s Luo Haoyu had rebelled and was sentenced by the Yanhuang Divine Empire. He had injured many members of the imperial family and was wanted. Such news caused the people in the world to be unable to react in time. However, they had no choice but to accept this fact. In the blink of an eye, another month passed. The seventh prince and the fourth prince¡¯s entourage exited seclusion one after another and broke through to the Nirvana Realm. The two of them were conferred the title of nobility and were given land to assist the crown prince in the future. However, the crown prince still did not make any movements. Instead, Li Long, who was staying in the imperial palace, exited seclusion. He spent two and a half months before he finally broke through to the Nirvana Realm. On the day he exited seclusion, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky and there was a golden elephant galloping. All the holy places came to congratulate him. The Divine Secrets Holy Land had a top genius in addition to Saintess Xia You. Chapter 417 - Rolling Thunder As for the Saintess Xia You, who everyone had been longing for, there were rumors that she had traveled the world and was currently in the Lu Jin dynasty. Soon, another half a month had passed. There were golden snakes coiled around the entire imperial palace with dragon claws on their abdomens and two bulges on their foreheads. ¡°This is the manifestation of a golden snake transforming into a dragon. Oh My God, this is too unbelievable.¡± Everyone in the palace was shocked because this phenomenon was even more terrifying than when Li Long had broken through. ¡°But why would the crown prince have a phenomenon related to a true dragon?¡±Someone asked curiously. ¡°It is said that the White Tiger Lord took the initiative to offer the True Dragon bloodline that he auctioned at a high price to the crown prince.¡± ¡°There is one more thing. The Emperor said that the day the crown prince comes out of seclusion is the time to pass on the throne.¡± ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable. The crown prince has the bloodline of a true dragon. His talent is probably comparable to Saintess Xiyou¡¯s.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± Everyone looked at each other as they moved closer to the palace, wanting to observe the strange phenomenon of the Crown Prince¡¯s breakthrough. However, the strange phenomenon continued but the crown prince did not appear. No one could see him. This strange phenomenon continued without weakening. ¡­ In the mysterious space of the Monolith Forbidden Ground. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the air. His body was surrounded by a dense heaven and earth energy. He had been in closed-door cultivation for three months, and he did not move at all. During this period of time, qiluo had come to check on him. She had already refined the nine neonate inner core. The water and fire energy was abundant, and in addition, Lin Mo had left a piece of yin-yang Jade for her to refine. Now, her strength had already broken through, and just like Luo Haoyu, she had arrived at the eighth sky of the Nirvana stage. A nine-infant inner core, a piece of yin-yang Jade, and a few drops of 10,000-year-old earth milk that Bai Luo had given her had improved her strength qualitatively. ¡°The legendary god-devouring body is indeed terrifying to cultivate¡­¡± Qi Luo muttered to herself. The energy that Lin Mo had absorbed in the past three months could even allow an ordinary person to cultivate to the fifth sky of the Nirvana realm. However, this was far from enough for Lin Mo. he was still cultivating. ¡°It seems that there won¡¯t be any results today¡­¡± Qi Luo shook her head. Just as she was about to leave, she realized that Thunder was rumbling above the rock forbidden ground. An unparalleled and terrifying heavenly might spread, startling everyone. She was shocked and quickly turned around to leave. She came to the place where Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo were cultivating. ¡°Medicine Pot, you¡¯re very knowledgeable. What¡¯s going on?¡±Qi Luo asked as soon as she arrived. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me. I¡¯m afraid Miss Bai Luo will have to answer this question.¡±Medicine pot spread his hands helplessly. He also wanted to know what had happened in the sky above the monolith forbidden ground, but it was clearly beyond his knowledge. ¡°Roar¡­¡± A Loud Dragon¡¯s roar sounded. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s body erupted with golden light, and a golden dragon emerged from her body. The Golden Dragon pierced through the array formation of the Monolith Forbidden Ground and soared into the sky. Even Jiang Xiyue was taken away, leaving the monolith forbidden ground and flying deep into the sky. ¡°This is bad. The palace master will be recognized.¡± One of the elders was shocked. It wasn¡¯t that there were no people outside the monolith forbidden ground. Once Jiang Xiyue appeared, their hiding place would be exposed. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s only a matter of time before they¡¯re exposed¡­¡± At this moment, Bai Luo, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiyue in the sky with interest. ¡°Eh? Miss Bai Luo, why didn¡¯t you have any strange phenomenon when you broke through?¡±An old man asked. Bai Luo¡¯s aura was stable. She had already broken through to the Nirvana realm, but no strange phenomenon occurred. One must know that in the past few months, even when the fourth Prince and the seventh Prince¡¯s hanger-on broke through, some strange phenomenon occurred. However, Bai Luo didn¡¯t have any strange phenomenon at all. Was it because her talent wasn¡¯t good enough? Obviously not. Bai Luo¡¯s talent was unfathomable. Everyone once suspected that she wasn¡¯t weaker than Saintess Xia you. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the reason for the cultivation technique.¡± Bai Luo smiled faintly and said, ¡°Pack up and get ready to run. This place has been exposed.¡±. She threw out a few spiritual artifacts and put away some of the weaker people before handing them over to qiluo. ¡°Senior qiluo, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to protect Xiyue. The rest of you, let me go and move the Treasury.¡± In fact, without Bai Luo¡¯s reminder, everyone knew that the Treasury here could move. That was because the heavenly lightning didn¡¯t strike Jiang Xiyue. Instead, it struck the monolith forbidden ground. This terrifying killing array was broken just like that, and everyone was shocked. The array was broken. It wasn¡¯t just them. The mercenaries who were preparing to explore the periphery of the monolith forbidden ground were all dumbfounded. ¡°Is this¡­ God¡¯s eye opening? The array of the Monolith Forbidden Ground was broken?¡± ¡°No, that person looks familiar. I think I¡¯ve seen him somewhere before,¡±someone pointed at Jiang Xiyue in the sky and said. ¡°Nonsense, that¡¯s Jiang Xiyue, the eighth princess of the Yanhuang dynasty. The bounty is ten million middle-grade spiritual stones¡­¡± Someone Roared and rushed forward, wanting to be the first to capture Jiang Xiyue. That person was a Nirvana realm expert, and he was confident that he could take down Jiang Xiyue. However, before he got close, a jade-white palm slammed down, and Qiluo appeared and killed him with one palm. ¡°Xiyue, is this your anomaly?¡±Qiluo asked curiously. She knew that Jiang Xiyue had obtained the true dragon¡¯s heart blood, and she was very envious at that time. Now that Jiang Xiyue had broken through to the Nirvana realm, she didn¡¯t expect the anomaly to be so terrifying, and there was actually Heavenly Thunder. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s mine.¡± A low voice sounded. Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in front of Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Lin Mo?¡±Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face lit up. Lin Mo had also come out of seclusion and broken through to the Nirvana stage. ¡°Aunty, take Xiyue down. There are many treasures. Bai Luo and the others are too busy.¡± Lin Mo said, looking at the Heavenly Thunder in the sky with a deep gaze. ¡°The god devouring art broke through the shackles and became a heaven rank cultivation technique. The commotion it attracted was actually the heavenly lightning. Can I consider lightning for my next attribute?¡± He fell into deep thought. He could have broken through to the Nirvana realm a long time ago. However, the absorption and devouring of the God devouring body did not stop. He could not control it. The symbols of the god devouring art kept condensing until it advanced to the first rank of the heaven rank. Only then did it stop. With the support of the heaven rank cultivation technique, his control over the soul devouring body increased by a few folds. The reason why this heavenly tribulation appeared could be said to be due to the advancement of the Soul Devouring Art. However, he had to ask Bai Luo about this reason before he could find out. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t just stand there like a fool. Quickly come down and get the treasure.¡± Just as Lin Mo was deep in thought, Bai Luo¡¯s voice sounded out, asking Lin Mo to hurry down. ¡°Why is this heavenly lightning not descending?¡±Lin Mo was stunned. He had already made preparations and was planning to receive the heavenly lightning. However, the heavenly lightning only appeared for a moment and didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of descending. ¡°It¡¯s still not the time. An expert has arrived. Quickly come and help.¡± Bai Luo shouted, asking Lin Mo to go down and help collect the treasures. Without having the time to ask further, Lin Mo flew down. During this period of time, those who tried to stop him were all killed by him. The ancient desolate sword was unsheathed, killing without a trace. In the space where he had just started cultivating, all kinds of treasures were displayed, without the protection of the formation. ¡°Just as I expected, it¡¯s great. We agreed that we would split it equally.¡± Bai Luo rubbed his hands. There were more than ten earth grade treasures in this place, and it took a lot of effort to move them away. ¡°Stop!¡± Suddenly, a low shout sounded. In the sky above the boulder forbidden ground, an old man wearing golden armor appeared through a crack. Chapter 418 - Battle Formation ¡°It¡¯s Heavenly King Wu¡­¡± Qi Luo frowned. This guy was here. He was so fast¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll go block him. You guys keep collecting. Kill whoever dares to stop us.¡±Qi Luo took out her sun spear. She put on her purple armor and flew up to confront Heavenly King Wu. ¡°Qiluo, your strength?¡±Heavenly King Wu was shocked. He thought he could take down these people without any hindrance when he saw Luo Haoyu was not here. However, Qiluo recovered from her injuries after three months and even broke through to the eighth sky of the Nirvana stage. ¡°Thanks to you guys.¡±Qiluo snorted and attacked Heavenly King Wu with her sun spear. The two of them started a fierce battle. Although Qiluo had just broken through, she had the advantage in weapons and could not separate herself from Heavenly King Wu. Below them, many mercenaries barged in, but they were all killed by Lin Mo and the others. ¡°Palace master, there are more and more people. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s too late to take all of them away.¡± The pot of medicine said. They did not feel any pressure at the moment, but Heavenly King Wu could not come alone. Soon, reinforcements from the dynasty would arrive. ¡°Lin Mo, forget about the damaged treasures. Let¡¯s pack them up and take them away.¡± Bai Luo said. She knew that Lin Mo had the means to forcefully take away the treasure, just like how the two of them had taken away the unicorn¡¯s skeleton back then. ¡°Leave it to me¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. He knew that he couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He activated the system space and in the next moment, the treasure in the space quickly rose up from the ground. Some spirit herbs were uprooted and stored into the system space. However, there were also some precious ores that were broken and destroyed because they were taken out so rudely. Lin Mo¡¯s heart ached when he saw this. These were all treasures¡­ ¡°Keep it well and run quickly.¡± In less than a minute, the place was emptied. The people outside looked at it with bloodshot eyes. Even so, they didn¡¯t dare to go forward. With so many Nirvana realm experts guarding, no one dared to be presumptuous. ¡°Aunt, let¡¯s go quickly.¡± Lin Mo and the others flew into the sky. The strange phenomenon in the sky had already disappeared. They gathered together and were all put into the spatial magic tool by the qiluo. ¡°You can¡¯t leave.¡±Heavenly King Wu snorted. His eyes were blood red. Naturally, he saw that so many treasures in the rock forbidden ground had been taken away. These treasures were more valuable than the national treasury of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. No matter what, they must not let them take them away. ¡°This is not up to you.¡± Qiluo smiled and took out a space talisman. She injected spiritual energy into it and activated it. ¡°Earth Grade Talisman?¡± Heavenly King Wu was shocked. He wanted to stop her, but there was nothing he could do. Qiluo¡¯s figure had already disappeared. This was the second Earth grade second grade talisman that Lin Mo had obtained through the auction. It was just the right time to use it. Outside the rock forbidden ground, only heavenly king Wu was left roaring angrily. The few of them escaped. The speed of an eighth sky of nirvana realm cultivator was extremely fast. Qi Luo led the group and finally arrived at the territory of the Qinghuai Holy Land. ¡°How could this be¡­¡± Yan Rong looked ahead in disbelief. This was the mountain gate of the Qinghuai Holy Land, but now it had been razed to the ground. ¡°Look at the energy fluctuations. It happened a month ago,¡±Qiluo said. The Qinghuai Holy Land had been destroyed. The forces related to Jiang Xiyue might have been almost wiped out by now¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at the Purple Cloud Holy Land,¡±Jiang Xiyue said. She was heartbroken. One holy land had been destroyed¡­ There were two holy lands supporting her. They only hoped that the Purple Cloud Holy Land could survive¡­ However, when they arrived at the Purple Clouds Holy Land, they only found the place in a mess. All kinds of buildings and formations had been destroyed. Broken Blades and broken limbs were scattered on the ground. At this moment, the place was still in a sea of fire. ¡°Bai Luo, I know that your identity is not ordinary. Do you have a battle formation?¡±Jiang Xiyue asked Bai Luo while enduring the pain in her heart. She had three armies in her hands, but without the support of a battle formation, she could only be considered a pile of loose sand. Facing a true expert, it was only a matter of time before she was massacred. ¡°Battle formation, ah, there are two of them, but their grades are not that good. You have to ask someone else.¡± Bai Luo took out two thick books that recorded two battle formations. ¡°Spirit rank rank 4 defensive battle formation, glazed light formation.¡± ¡°Spirit rank rank five offensive battle formation, three-phase killing formation.¡± The rarity of battle formations in the eastern continent was comparable to Earth rank magic treasures. Even in the divine dynasty, they were quite precious. ¡°If the flame divine army formed the three-phase killing formation, it would be able to block a seventh sky of Nirvana realm expert.¡± ¡°As for the glazed light formation, it was formed by 200,000 red armored soldiers. Even if I wanted to break through the defense, it would take me two hours.¡± Qiluo evaluated. Such a battle formation was already good enough. This was the prerequisite for the overall strength of the army. ¡°As for the purple spirit guards, they need a stronger battle formation. The Yanhuang Dynasty has a grand elder at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± ¡°I owe you again¡­¡±Lin Mo was helpless. Every time at a critical moment, it seemed like Bai Luo was helping him. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s alright. The three of you can join my family. This request isn¡¯t too much, right?¡±Bai Luo rubbed his hands. Lin Mo who had the god devouring body, Lin Die who was an innate beast, and Jiang Xiyue who had refined the true dragon¡¯s heart blood. In her eyes, the potential of these three people was even higher than Saintess xiyou. If she could get these three people to join her family, then her trip to the east continent could be said to be a great profit. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you, brother,¡±Lin Die said in a low voice. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll listen to you every day. Can you be more assertive?¡±Bai Luo pulled Lin die over and pinched her pink little face. ¡°If we can really go to the southern continent, I¡¯m willing to join.¡±Jiang Xiyue nodded. In fact, she had been willing to join since Bai Luo saved her aunt Qiluo. As long as Bai Luo asked, she would not refuse. ¡°Great, then I¡¯ll give you this battle formation, Haha.¡±Bai Luo clapped her hands. One of them had already agreed, so the remaining two would not be a problem. ¡°Cough Cough, Lin Mo, let me tell you, the women of our Bai family do not marry out. It¡¯s impossible for you to marry out. Marry in.¡±Her eyes were crafty as she looked at Lin Mo, as if her plot had succeeded. The corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched. What was this¡­ ¡°Then what if I¡¯m stronger than the Bai Family?¡±Lin Mo suddenly asked. ¡°You?¡±Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo with disdain. She didn¡¯t even dare to say such big words. ¡°If you really can surpass the Bai family, not to mention marrying her, even if you hook up with me, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to make you fly together with me.¡±Bai Luo Snickered. She didn¡¯t believe that Lin Mo could do it. ¡°Brother, what do you mean by two lovers? Xiaodie also wants one.¡±Lin Die came over curiously. She didn¡¯t understand what she was saying. ¡°Ouch¡­ It Hurts!¡± Lin Die held her head and found that it was Jiang Xiyue who had always doted on her. She pouted and looked like she was about to cry. ¡°You¡¯re still young. Don¡¯t ask around,¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a red face. They were supposed to be discussing the battle formation. Why were they talking about this¡­ ¡°Humph, you¡¯re all bullying me¡­¡± Lin Die covered her head and ran to Yan Rong, crying. Then, she asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s a two-way street?¡±. Seeing that Yan Rong also raised his hand and was about to hit her, Lin Die quickly begged for mercy and ran to the side. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t hit me. I Won¡¯t ask anymore, okay¡­¡± Chapter 419 - The Bai Family ¡°Wait¡­ Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I¡¯ve never heard of such a large family before, right?¡± Qiluo interrupted everyone. She had heard of all the families in the eastern continent, but none of the top powers had a Bai family name. ¡°Ahem, let me introduce myself. I¡¯m from the myriad soul tomb in the Southern Heavenly Domain, a disciple of the Bai family.¡± ¡°The reason I came to the eastern continent is to snatch opportunities from you and recruit a few juniors with shocking talent and potential¡­¡± Bai Luo coughed dryly. This was the first time she had publicly revealed her identity. Coming from another continent, this news was like a bombshell, exploding in everyone¡¯s hearts. ¡°The southern continent? You¡­ Have seen a true immortal-foundation ascendant?¡± Qiluo was shocked. This was too unbelievable. Everyone said that the eastern continent was weak, but she had never seen anyone from outside the eastern continent. This also explained why Bai Luo was so knowledgeable and could understand many killing formations by analogy. She had a deep background and had seen many profound formations. Her horizons were much higher than theirs. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your palace lord won¡¯t suffer any losses if he joins our Bai clan,¡± Bai Luo comforted her. The problem that had troubled her for so long was finally solved. After all this time, the prerequisite for Lin Mo to join the Bai family was Jiang Xiyue¡­ Now that Lin Mo was here, didn¡¯t Lin Die come along as well? Hehe. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this for now. I¡¯ll make a copy of the battle formation. Maybe I¡¯ll be able to find a better battle formation.¡± Lin Mo interrupted everyone. He had memorized both battle formations and planned to auction them off. No matter what the outcome of the auction was, they would be able to get better battle formations. This way, they would have more confidence. ¡°Whatever. What are we going to do next? Rebel?¡± Bai Luo said excitedly. She was happy to join in on the fun. ¡°Not rebel. We are going to choose a place to build the Purple Moon Palace and declare war on the Yanhuang Divine Empire.¡± Jiang Xiyue said as she recalled this plan countless times in her mind. Now, it was time to launch the attack. The army, battle formation, and resources were all fully prepared. Right now, she still had two peak experts at the eighth sky of the Nirvana Realm by her side. Although they were not as powerful as the Yanhuang Divine Empire in terms of foundation, they would not be defeated so easily. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you. I¡¯ll Take one earth grade spatial talisman and I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Lin Mo said. It would be more beneficial for him if they split up. At the same time, he also took out some of the gains from the rock forbidden ground. Most of them were spirit stones. These were the foundations of Jiang Xiyue¡¯s new faction. ¡°As expected of the rock forbidden ground. A total of 500 million middle-grade spirit stones.¡±Damask was speechless. This was only a portion. ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and he went on his way alone. He put on his bamboo hat and went deep into the forest. During this period of time, he would pass by some small cities and enter them. ¡°System, if I auction off a treasure and then snatch it away, will you give me a rebate?¡± Lin Mo asked. The battle formation was very precious, and it was a strategic resource. He really didn¡¯t want to sell it. ¡°No, please take note of your reputation, host.¡± As expected, after getting the answer that he had guessed long ago, Lin Mo felt a little helpless. ¡°Oh right, I think I can make a trip to Great Yan Divine Empire¡­¡± While walking on the road, Lin Mo recalled a good friend he had made in the past. He couldn¡¯t be considered as a good friend, but could only be considered as an acquaintance. The fifth prince of the Great Yan Divine Empire, Zhen Gu, had once traveled together with him. He couldn¡¯t sense this person, so perhaps selling the battle formation to him was a good choice. ¡°I can make a trip. Even if the other party wants to force me to stay, I can still use talismans to escape.¡± After making his decision, Lin Mo spent half a month traversing mountains and rivers, passing through the Yanhuang Divine Empire, and entering the Great Yan Divine Empire. However, on the way to the imperial city of Great Yan Divine Empire, he sensed an acquaintance, and this aura was very familiar. ¡°It¡¯s that young man from the Heavenly Martial Clan¡­¡± Lin Mo pondered for a moment, and finally understood. This person had also participated in the Dao Conference of the capital city of Yanhuang Divine Empire. However, he had been eliminated by Lin Mo. if it were not for the protection of the Void Spirit Talisman, he would have already died. ¡°The Heavenly Martial Clan is really generous. They must have given him quite a number of spirit herbs, and he awakened so quickly.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, and flew in that direction, because he vaguely heard the word ¡®treasure¡¯. ¡°That person¡¯s name is Liao Qing, right?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. ¡°Who are you? We are disciples of the Heavenly Martial Clan. We are cultivating here and are not to be disturbed.¡± ¡°Although you are in the Nirvana Realm, our clan elders are nearby. You can¡¯t afford to offend them.¡± In the forest, Lin Mo had just approached when he was warned by others. Some disciples of the Heavenly Martial Clan saw him. Lin Mo did not pay any attention to them. He turned his gaze over and found another familiar face. Besides Liao Qing, there was another person named Liao Hong. These two people had some grudges with Lin Mo, but their strength had not yet broken through. At this moment, they were searching for some treasures. ¡°It seems that I have unintentionally intruded into the territory of the Heavenly Martial Clan¡­¡± He murmured to himself, but still did not pay any attention to these people. Such an attitude made these people very angry. Some of them were stunned. There was actually someone in Great Yan Divine Empire who didn¡¯t know that this was the territory of the Tianwu Clan? These people were very angry. They felt that Lin Mo was looking down on them, and was deliberately looking for trouble. At this moment, Liao Qing and Liao Hong had also noticed this place. When they saw Lin Mo wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, they also felt a sense of familiarity. ¡°This senior, this is the territory of our Tianwu Clan. If you accidentally barge in here, please leave.¡± Liao Hong stepped forward and cupped his fists as he said. He had heard Lin Mo¡¯s whisper just now. Regardless of whether it was true or not, they were still not a match for someone in the Nirvana Realm. Therefore, they could only use their status and background to suppress the other party. ¡°Senior Brother Liao Hong, why are you being so polite with him? Bring senior brother Chen Wu here and teach him a lesson.¡± Some of the Tianwu Clan¡¯s disciples said. ¡°Oh, Chen Wu, who is he? Can you tell us a thing or two about him?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± These people were stunned. In the Great Yan Divine Empire, there were still people who didn¡¯t know about Chen Wu. He was the number one genius of Great Yan dynasty. ¡°I just entered Great Yan dynasty three days ago. I was on my way to the Imperial City to look for fifth Prince Zhen Gu, and I passed by here,¡± said Lin Mo honestly. This was the truth. He was going to look for Zhen Gu and auction off the battle formation to him. Upon hearing this, Liao Hong frowned. He looked at Lin Mo and thought for a long time before he finally spoke. ¡°His Highness the fifth Prince, accompanied by senior brother Chen Wu, has gone to the Yanhuang Divine Empire to visit the Purple Moon Palace, an emerging power.¡± When this sudden news spread out, even Lin Mo was a little surprised. ¡°Purple Moon Palace, wait, tell me in detail, what happened during this period of time?¡± Lin Mo frowned. It seemed that during the time he was traveling, the Yanhuang Divine Empire was in turmoil. ¡°Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have used the teleportation array to come here¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Earlier, in order to avoid trouble, he had flown all the way here by himself. Now, the news was blocked and he did not know anything. ¡°Senior still doesn¡¯t know?¡± Liao Hong was stunned. He immediately thought that this person had just come out of seclusion not long ago¡­ Thinking of this, Liao Hong and Liao Qing told Lin Mo the news that they knew. Chapter 420 - Please Continue To Call Me Senior It turned out that after Lin Mo left, Jiang Xiyue spent five days to choose a place to build the Purple Moon Palace. She established her own sect and revealed her trump card at the same time. Three powerful armies formed a battle formation and pushed back the Yanhuang dynasty¡¯s army. Even Heavenly King Wu personally led his troops but was unable to take them down. He was severely injured and escaped. At this point, Purple Moon Palace had become famous with a single battle. The palace master, Jiang Xiyue, and the Vice Palace Master, Lin Mo, were two forces formed by two juniors, and they had declared war on the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Such a major event had naturally shocked the entire eastern land. Many forces had entered the Yanhuang Divine Empire, wanting to find out what was going on. ¡°Is Great Yan Divine Empire supporting Purple Moon Palace when Zhen Gu went to visit them?¡± Asked Lin Mo curiously. Wasn¡¯t the Great Yan Divine Empire always neutral? Why did they suddenly declare their side as soon as the war started? ¡°I heard so. Our Tianwu clan supports the fifth Prince Zhen Gu to become the new emperor, but there is great resistance.¡± ¡°Perhaps the fifth prince also wants an ally, that¡¯s why he went to visit them.¡± After listening to Liao Hong and Liao Qing¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo finally understood the current situation. However, he could no longer continue to visit the Great Yan Divine Empire. ¡°By the way, I have two treasures that I would like to auction. Would you like to participate in the auction?¡± Lin Mo looked at the few people from the Heavenly Martial clan. They looked at each other, wondering what this senior was trying to do. He had trespassed into the territory of the Heavenly Martial clan by mistake, and did not know anything about it. And now, he was going to auction the treasures? ¡°Er¡­ If senior wants to sell the treasures, I can bring you to the Heavenly Martial Clan. There will be a specialized appraiser to help you appraise them,¡± said Liao Qing in a low voice. ¡°Cough cough¡­ You¡¯ve called me senior so many times. I feel very comfortable listening to it. If these two treasures are auctioned together, I¡¯ll let you take advantage of it.¡± Lin Mo said with a dry cough. He and these people were clearly of the same generation. There was even some enmity between them. Now that they were actually called senior, it made him feel curious. ¡°May I ask, senior, what kind of treasure is it?¡± Liao Hong raised his head and asked. ¡°Spirit grade tier four defensive battle formation, glazed light formation.¡± ¡°Spirit grade tier five offensive battle formation, three phases killing formation.¡± ¡°This was originally a treasure that I planned to sell to fifth prince Zhen Gu. Now, I¡¯ll give this credit to you.¡± ¡°The starting price is 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones. If any of you want to make a contribution, make your bids.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. The Purple Moon Palace had been established, and the war had already been declared. He couldn¡¯t waste any more time. He had to go back early and give the battle formation that was returned from the auction to the army to train. Otherwise, when the ninth sky experts of the Nirvana Realm appeared, the three armies of Purple Moon Palace wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them at all. ¡°What?¡± Liao Qing was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. These were two battle formations? What kind of joke was this? How could they encounter such a strategic treasure? ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, you guys can open it and take a look.¡± Lin Mo shrugged nonchalantly and threw the two battle formations he had copied out. Liao Qing and Liao Hong stretched out their trembling hands and carefully flipped through them. Although they weren¡¯t able to understand it, they understood that this battle formation was real. The complicated runes recorded within were definitely the legendary battle formation. ¡°This¡­¡± The two of them breathed heavily. The value of the battle formation was immeasurable. Once it appeared in the world, it would definitely cause a commotion. And it was this kind of treasure that appeared in front of them, causing them to be at a loss. ¡°Bid! Don¡¯t tell me you guys don¡¯t want it?¡± Lin Mo urged. Hearing this, Liao Hong laughed dryly and respectfully handed the battle formation back. He said, ¡°Senior, don¡¯t joke anymore. It¡¯s better for you to follow us back to the Heavenly Martial Clan.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, senior. We¡¯ll bring you to see the elders. The elders will definitely give you a satisfactory price.¡± Liao Qing also agreed. The price of the battle formation was too precious. They simply couldn¡¯t afford it. As for the so-called starting bid of 100,000, they even thought that Lin Mo was trying to trick them. ¡°I¡¯m not joking. Quickly make a bid, or else the auction will fail.¡± Lin Mo said unhappily. He was in a hurry to return, and the two of them didn¡¯t dare to take it¡­ ¡°Then¡­ I¡¯ll bid 6.8 million?¡± Liao Hong said carefully. He raised the starting bid of 100,000 to 6.8 million, causing Lin Mo¡¯s hands to tremble in anger. ¡°Senior, this is all the spirit stones I have on me,¡± Liao Hong said hurriedly. He said that if Lin Mo felt that it wasn¡¯t enough, he could go to the Heavenly Martial clan¡­ ¡°6.8 million. If no one bids, then do I have a deal?¡± Lin Mo asked Liao Qing symbolically. However, Liao Qing didn¡¯t say a word. He shook his head, indicating that he didn¡¯t have that many spirit stones. ¡°Alright, deal. Congratulations, you have obtained these two battle formations.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took the spirit stones from Liao Hong¡¯s hands, placing the two battle formations in his hands. ¡°This?¡± Liao Hong was dumbfounded. He really obtained them? He couldn¡¯t believe it. Why did this happen? Who was this senior? ¡°Senior, please leave your name. We will remember it.¡± Liao Hong hurriedly said when he saw that Lin Mo was about to leave. Hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly stopped. He turned his head and forced a smile as he said, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t want to know who I am.¡± However, this was clearly taken as Lin Mo¡¯s excuse by Liao Hong. He spoke righteously. ¡°Senior sent the battle formation at a time like this. Such a great favor. If I can¡¯t say senior¡¯s name, the fifth prince will probably blame me.¡± Right now, he had already taken Lin Mo as an old senior who had lived in the deep mountains for a long time. His young voice might be the effect of a panacea. Such an expert would definitely have a reputation left behind in the past. The fifth prince would definitely be able to find out about it. ¡°Alright, since you want to know who I am, then I¡¯ll satisfy you.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly and became playful. Calling his enemy a senior, he did not know how the two of them would feel next. ¡°Senior, please speak.¡± Liao Qing and Liao Hong¡¯s faces were filled with anticipation. The other Tianwu clan disciples were also very expectant. They looked at Lin Mo, wanting to know what kind of senior expert he was. Seeing this, Lin Mo reached out his hand and slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head. What was presented before everyone was a young and handsome face. To Liao Qing, this face was extremely familiar. It was so familiar that he gritted his teeth, wishing that he could make a move right away. ¡°Lin Mo, why is it you?¡± Liao Qing¡¯s face darkened, and he felt a little crazed. Where was the senior that he had promised? Why was it this fellow? What was going on? ¡°Hahaha, your expressions are really rich. Do you still call me senior? Continue calling me that from now on.¡± Lin Mo threw away his bamboo hat and burst into laughter. On the other hand, Liao Qing and Liao Hong felt as though they had eaten a dead fly. They had actually called Lin Mo senior so many times¡­ ¡°You¡­ Why are you toying with us?¡± Liao Qing¡¯s eyes were spitting fire as he spoke furiously. If not for the fact that he was still rational, he would have rushed up and fought to the death with Lin Mo. ¡°Be reasonable. I have never considered myself to be a senior. It was you guys who took the initiative to call me. Moreover, it was you guys who made me reveal my identity.¡± Lin Mo spread his hands. This could not be blamed on him. The smile on his face did not diminish. It made Liao Qing and Liao Hong¡¯s teeth itch. They wanted to fight several times. However, when they thought of Lin Mo¡¯s Nirvana realm strength, they felt bitter in their hearts. The gap between them had already widened, and it would only grow bigger and bigger. ¡°Don¡¯t be dejected. As a senior, you can call me if you have any trouble in the future. Haha¡­¡± Chapter 421 - The Purple Moon Palace Established After laughing enough, Lin Mo looked down at Liao Qing and Liao Hong¡¯s depressed expressions. He asked a city with a teleportation array and left. He was going to use the teleportation array to leave this place. Since Purple Moon Palace was established and it had officially declared war, there was no need for him to hide anymore. Now that the battle formation had been sold, the system had reaped the benefits of two powerful battle formations. On the way back to the Purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo also took some time to take a look. The defensive battle formation, the glazed light formation, was still the defensive battle formation, the seventh-level spirit rank light protection battle formation. Once the formation was activated, even a ninth-level Nirvana Realm cultivator might not be able to break through the defense. Only powerful existences who had reached immortal-foundation would be able to do so. However, there was a flaw. Although the formation couldn¡¯t be moved, it was more than enough to defend the Purple Moon Palace. As for the other one, the three-phase killing formation was an offensive formation, a ninth-level spirit-rank four-spirit formation. The requirements for this formation were very high. According to the information Lin Mo obtained from Jiang Xiyue, only the purple spirit guards could control this formation. The flame divine army might be able to control it in the future through cultivation, but not yet. A day later, Lin Mo arrived at the Purple Moon Palace. Jiang Xiyue and the others were all waiting for him to come back and announce the true establishment of the Purple Moon Palace. When Lin Mo took out some treasures hidden on his body, everyone was stunned. ¡°No way. Which danger zone did you enter or did you dig up some ruins?¡± Jiang Xiyue said in surprise. What was presented in front of them was an earth-grade magic weapon that she had been longing for. The earth-grade third-rank meteor spear had two attributes, gold and fire. It was suitable for Jiang Xiyue. The earth grade third tier soul shattering spear didn¡¯t have any specific attributes, but its piercing ability and sharp tip made Bai Luo unable to let go of it. ¡°Awesome! I love it so much!¡± Bai Luo was overjoyed. She didn¡¯t have any Earth realm artifacts with her either. After all, she didn¡¯t bring many things when she first came out, and she didn¡¯t take many artifacts. What was truly valuable were these two battle formations. Luo Haoyu and Qi Luo flipped through the two books, which recorded the light protection battle formation and the four spirits battle formation. This was the true heritage of the Purple Moon Palace. Luo Haoyu nodded and said, ¡°Palace master, the Purple Spirit Guards don¡¯t need to cultivate the three-phase killing array anymore. This four spirits battle formation is enough for them to cultivate for more than ten years¡­¡± Hearing this, Jiang Xiyue nodded and said, ¡°Gather everyone from the Purple Moon Palace and prepare to organize it. Seven days later, the Purple Moon Palace will be officially established.¡± After saying that, she held Lin Mo¡¯s hand and smiled, ¡°The Purple Moon Palace has been established. Those who came to celebrate are still waiting in the nearby Hailing city.¡± If the surrounding powers recognized the establishment of a power, they would more or less send envoys to congratulate it. Not to mention that the Purple Moon Palace had just been established, and they had already started a war against the Yanhuang Divine Empire. This was something that had never happened in the eastern continent in the past one thousand years. ¡°Alright, but I¡¯ve made a trip to Great Yan dynasty, and sent the glazed light formation and three boxes of killing formations to the fifth prince of the Great Yan dynasty.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. It seemed that the fifth prince was also in Hailing city, and he was accompanied by a young genius named Chen Wu. ¡°Yes, the fifth Prince Zhen Gu has the support of the Tianwu clan. He has a high chance of becoming an emperor in the future. It¡¯s good to befriend him in advance.¡± They chatted for a while and then left one after another. Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo were busy controlling the magic artifacts they had just obtained. Qi Luo and Luo Haoyu took the battle formation to train the army. Whether it was the battle formation that the system returned the profits or the one that Bai Luo took out, the gist was very detailed. All the suspicious points had already been marked out. In addition to the teachings of the two great experts, in less than five days, the battle strength of the three armies had greatly increased. When Lin Mo came to the martial practice field, there were a few elders who came to report. ¡°Reporting to the Deputy Palace Head, the Red Armored Army has already completed the light protection battle formation. From today onwards, the Purple Moon Palace will be unbreakable.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the flame god Army. They can also use the three phases killing array. It¡¯s no problem for them to deal with seventh sky of Nirvana realm experts.¡± ¡°Under the guidance of first elder Luo Haoyu and second elder Qiluo, the purple spirit guards can also use part of the power of the four-spirit Battle Formation.¡± These were the elders that Jiang Xiyue had supported before. Now that they had recovered from their injuries, Jiang Xiyue had granted them the position of elders. However, the Purple Moon Palace was currently short of manpower, so Luo Haoyu had brought them here to command the army. ¡°Mm, everything is developing in a good direction¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. This was the first time he had created a faction. Although he had built an auction house in the past, it was nothing compared to the current Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Don¡¯t relax. The Purple Moon Palace will be hosting those who came to celebrate in two days. There might be some twists and turns.¡± At this time, Bai Luo appeared in the martial arts practice field. She looked at Lin Mo with interest. ¡°Aiya, I wonder if people from the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty will come.¡±Thinking of this, Bai Luo¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. The battle formation was ready. Even a ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert wouldn¡¯t be able to take down this place. Soon, two days passed. Hailing city was bustling with activity early in the morning. Many people rushed out of the city and rushed toward the newly built Purple Moon Palace. These were the forces that had received the invitation letter. They had come to congratulate the establishment of the Purple Moon Palace today. As for how many of them had good intentions, it was unknown. Outside the newly built palace, on the huge square, a golden flag was raised. A golden dragon was carved on the flag. This represented the true dragon bloodline in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s body. At the same time, it also told the world that she was determined to overthrow the Yanhuang Divine Empire and replace it. Some time ago, when the crown prince broke through to the Nirvana Realm, it caused a strange phenomenon. Many people thought that the crown prince, Jiang Cheng, had dragon blood and would lead the royal family to the peak. Now that the Purple Moon Palace had appeared, the Yanhuang Divine Empire had already mobilized their troops. At this moment, they were already stationed not far from the mountain range in front of the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°That¡¯s about it. That¡¯s the crown prince¡¯s guards. They were rewarded by the Emperor.¡± In the palace, Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo were sitting at the head of the table, feeling a little uncomfortable. An Elder was reporting on what had happened near the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Is the crown prince Here?¡± Jiang Xiyue asked. This was what she was most concerned about. If it was possible, she really wanted to lead her troops to attack and capture the crown prince. ¡°We don¡¯t know yet, but the second prince is here. He is leading the crown prince¡¯s guards.¡± The elder said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him. If they haven¡¯t made a move, we¡¯ll just wait.¡± Lin Mo said. The three armies had just formed their battle formation. If they could stay out of the battle, they would stay out of it. ¡°I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t even have peace¡­¡± Suddenly, Luo Haoyu and Qiluo, who were sitting below, opened their eyes at the same time. Their eyes were deep as they looked outside the palace. At that moment, there was a powerful army standing there. ¡°It¡¯s the Yuan Yang Holy Land¡­¡± Some of the guests who came to watch the ceremony had already been arranged. When they saw the army outside the Purple Moon Palace, their expressions changed. There were more than 5,000 disciples of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. However, these people were all powerful warriors and they formed a battle formation, giving off a huge pressure. ¡°By order of the crown prince, arrest the traitor Jiang Xiyue, Lin Mo¡­¡± Chapter 422 - The Battle of the Purple Moon Palace ¡°Haha, What Purple Moon Palace? They don¡¯t even have a protective array formation. They¡¯re letting us in just like that?¡± An elder of the Yuanyang Holy Land laughed loudly. He and some Nirvana realm experts had already entered and were heading straight for the palace in the center. The Purple Moon Palace had just been built. Other than the square that was built for the guests to observe, there was only one majestic palace. The door of the palace was wide open. Everyone could see Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue sitting on the highest throne. The two of them sat majestically and looked down on all living things. They looked as if they could swallow mountains and rivers. This surprised many people. They were obviously two juniors, but they gave people the feeling that they were the ruler of the world. ¡°Humph, the traitors of the Yanhuang dynasty are still building their strength in the territory. How Ridiculous,¡±the elder who rushed in first shouted. ¡°As courtiers, we should serve them.¡±Another person said. These words were spoken in a dignified manner. Even the guests who had come to watch the ceremony were persuaded. Many people believed it to be true. Lin Mo coldly looked at this person. The Yuanyang Holy Land had originally supported the seventh prince. Now, they were supporting the crown prince. He did not say much. He raised his hand and unsheathed the ancient sword of desolation. Suddenly, he stabbed forward. The Sword Qi rumbled, bringing with it the aura of flames. This fluctuation shocked many people. With a humming sound, the desolation ancient sword instantly broke through the protective spiritual energy of this elder, and the Sword Qi soared into the sky. ¡°Retreat quickly.¡± Someone from behind said, because after Lin Mo broke through to the Nirvana realm, his battle strength had increased too terrifyingly. These people all made their moves, wanting to help block the desolation ancient sword. Sword Qi swept out, and flames erupted at this moment. The people who had entered the Yuan Yang Holy Land were all blasted away. And this wasn¡¯t the end. The elder who had berated Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue at the front was still standing on the spot. He had the strength of a third sky of the Nirvana realm. At this moment, his face was drained of blood, and he let out a miserable cry. Under the powerful sword Qi of the desolation ancient sword, his defensive measures were useless. They directly collapsed, and his body was torn into pieces. Everything happened so fast that by the time everyone reacted, the Elder was already dead. ¡°Pu.¡± Accompanied by a bloody light, the ancient sword of desolation continued to attack. The elders of the Yuan Yang Holy Land were injured and killed one after another, leaving behind broken limbs and remains. They all fled. ¡°Lin Mo, the northern king, the southern king, and the White Tiger Marquis are here. Qiluo, I, and the medicine jar can not attack.¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue¡¯s ears. Zhenbei king, Zhennan King. These two could be conferred as kings, so their strength was naturally the same as martial heavenly king, eighth sky of Nirvana realm. As long as he and Qiluo made a move, these two would also make a move. As for the White Tiger Marquis, there were rumors that his strength was fifth sky of Nirvana realm, but under Luo Haoyu¡¯s perception, his true strength was sixth sky of Nirvana realm. Since they didn¡¯t need a battle formation, the only thing that could stop him was the medicine jar, the Chief Alchemist of the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Elder Luo, don¡¯t worry. Leave everything to us.¡± Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue looked at each other. Below them, Bai Luo¡¯s interest was piqued as well. The three of them hit it off and took out their spiritual artifacts one after another. Under everyone¡¯s stunned gazes, they charged out. ¡°Today is the day our Purple Moon Palace is established. Anyone who dares to trespass will be beheaded!¡± Jiang Xiyue flew out of the main hall and hovered in mid-air as she said coldly. ¡°Royal sister, why are you doing this?¡± At this moment, the second prince who had been hiding in the distance appeared with his troops. The Crown Prince¡¯s guards were all elites. It could be seen how much the emperor doted on them. ¡°I don¡¯t have the fortune to enjoy this ¡®Royal Sister¡¯. We don¡¯t have a good relationship to begin with. If you want to fight, then let¡¯s do it together.¡± Jiang Xiyue sneered while Lin Mo and Bai Luo stood beside her. The three of them were clearly only at the first sky of the Nirvana realm, but now that they were holding sharp weapons in their hands, they felt as if they were looking down on the world. ¡°Sister-in-law, give up. You Can¡¯t defeat Father¡­¡± A pleasant voice sounded. A bronze chariot drove over from afar, and it was pulled by two unicorns. The tenth princess had also arrived. Accompanying her were the Holy Maiden of the ancient Moon Holy Land, Xiao Yue, and the holy son of the Thunder Holy Land, Ji Zixiao. Ji Zixiao and Xiao Yue looked at Lin Mo and the other two in shock. They knew that the Purple Moon Palace could not be established, even though they had heard that Jiang Xiyue had formed an army. However, the ones who had invaded were the crown prince¡¯s imperial guards. They were personally groomed by the Emperor to assist the crown prince. On the other hand, the Yuanyang Holy Land was also an elite of a great holy land. How could the Purple Moon Palace resist them? ¡°Sister Jiang Lu, if you are here to watch the ceremony, I welcome you. If not, then make your move.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. She did not have any grudges with tenth Princess Jiang Lu. On the contrary, they had a good relationship. However, she did not know if the other party had started to side with the crown prince. ¡°Naturally, I¡¯m here to watch the ceremony. Also, brother Lin, you still owe me a battle.¡± Before the tenth princess, Jiang Lu, could speak, Ji Zixiao took the initiative to speak. He looked at Lin Mo, full of fighting spirit. He had also broken through to the Nirvana stage. When he was in the Imperial City, he had issued a challenge to the crown prince. In addition, Li Long from the Holy Land of divine armament had also been challenged by him. ¡°Brother Ji, please wait a moment. After I finish off these people, I¡¯ll fight you again.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The tenth princess was here to observe the ceremony. This was good news for him. ¡°Elders of the Primordial Sun Sacred Land, follow me and kill this bastard.¡± The second prince snorted coldly and raised his sword to give the order. He led everyone to charge over. ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re just three juniors. How dare they build their own forces? They¡¯re courting death,¡±an elder said and took the lead to attack. He had come with the second prince and was extremely loyal. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution. ¡°We listen to the royal family. We should help the royal family solve their problems,¡±the elders of the Yuan Yang Holy Land echoed. They weren¡¯t the only ones. On the viewing platform, the tenth princess had just taken her people to their seats when many people rushed out. They all took out their magic weapons, thinking that the Purple Moon Palace would no longer exist. Now was the time to show their loyalty. ¡°Do you really think you can take down the three of us without sending out an army?¡±Lin Mo sneered. The ancient sword of Desolation released sword light and burst out sword qi. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together.¡± Someone shouted. Since they had already attacked, they could not back down. They all took out their magic weapons and displayed their martial arts. At the same time, they were not worried because there were more than twenty Nirvana realm experts among them. There were even third and fourth sky of Nirvana stage powerhouses among them. It would be easy for them to deal with Lin Mo and the other two. ¡°Boom!¡± Martial arts were unleashed, and the spiritual artifacts emitted a multicolored light. A great battle was about to break out at any moment. More than half of the attacks were aimed at Lin Mo because they could sense that Lin Mo¡¯s aura was weak and undetectable. People subconsciously thought that he was the weakest one and wanted to attack him. Lin Mo stood tall, his eyes flickering with flames. His black hair danced in the wind, and the devouring God Body Domain was instantly activated, with flames burning within. At this moment, all the attacks that came close to him stopped. The martial arts he used were weakening, and the spiritual energy within disappeared very quickly. Within a few breaths, it completely disappeared. There were even some that came close, and the spiritual energy within their bodies was rapidly disappearing, being forcefully devoured by the devouring God body. It was eerily quiet here compared to the other two battlefields. Chapter 423 - World On the other side, the dragon¡¯s roar continued. The meteor spear in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s hand was like a golden dragon, sweeping across the world. As for Bai Luo, she was fighting with a playful attitude. She didn¡¯t take it seriously from the beginning to the end and played the second prince around. ¡°What Sorcery is this?¡± An old man who was close to Lin Mo was shocked. He wanted to resist, but he found that the spiritual Qi in his body was rapidly disappearing. ¡°Rank 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, where did you get the courage to attack me?¡± Lin Mo was disdainful. These people really treated him as a soft persimmon. Even the dragon transformation realm was trying to attack him? Thinking back to the past, he, who was at rank 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, did not dare to say that he could withstand the attack of the Nirvana realm. ¡°All of you, stand down.¡± A light shout was heard. A golden light bloomed on the man¡¯s body. He was like a golden man. He formed a seal with his left hand and attacked Lin Mo.. The attack this time was very strong. Even the devouring God body¡¯s domain couldn¡¯t block it. Lin Mo raised his hand to block it. Someone from behind took the opportunity to attack. A formation was set up on the spot. Under the bright red formation flag was a powerful killing formation. However, all of this was laughable in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s try this move.¡± Lin Mo roared, and the spiritual energy in his body surged wildly. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame ignited the entire God devouring body domain. A huge Vermilion Bird Phantom appeared behind Lin Mo.. The incomplete technique of the Archaic Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, the cloud piercing four destruction, required a huge amount of spiritual energy every time it was used. However, all of this was nothing to Lin Mo.. Now that the Soul Devouring Art had broken through to the heaven rank rank 1 cultivation technique, one could imagine the increase in Lin Mo¡¯s battle strength. The spiritual energy consumption was almost negligible to him. The huge vermillion bird shadow swooped down and ruthlessly smashed towards the formation, bringing along the Vermillion Bird divine flame as it burned the people in that area. ¡°Li Long, are the people from the divine secrets sacred land planning to stand together with the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty?¡±Lin Mo sneered. After dealing with the person who ambushed him from behind, Lin Mo looked towards the golden figure. This person was Li Long, the quasi-holy son of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. If it wasn¡¯t for the appearance of the Xia You Holy Maiden, Li Long would probably be the number one genius of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. ¡°Lin Mo, have you forgotten that you humiliated the divine secrets sacred land in public in the past?¡±Li long coldly snorted. A long time ago, Lin Mo had been troubled by Zhao Ming. At that time, they had already formed a grudge. As a disciple of the divine secrets sacred land, although Zhao Ming was in the wrong first, being auctioned off as a slave by Lin Mo was equivalent to slapping the face of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. Now that Lin Mo had established his own sect and could no longer be roped in, what harmony was there to talk about? ¡°That was a long time ago. You¡¯re really holding a grudge.¡±Lin Mo curled his lips as he fought fiercely with Li Long. Light purple divine light appeared beneath his feet, jumping along with his steps. The incomplete technique of the archaic divine beast qilin, qilin step, was displayed. When Lin Mo used this move, his movement technique was strange. Wherever he went, he would take a person¡¯s life. Even if these people had powerful defensive magic tools, it would be useless. Wherever the qilin divine light passed, it would destroy everything. ¡°Pu.¡± Blood and flesh flew everywhere. The person who had just shouted that he wanted to kill Lin Mo had now fallen into a pool of blood. From the moment he had attacked until now, Lin Mo had attacked three times in total. However, more than half of the people who had surrounded him had already died. Among them, there was no lack of nirvana realm experts. There were even experts at the third sky among them. Even Li Long was unable to block Lin Mo¡¯s kick. He stomped down with the Kylin steps. Li long coughed out blood and the golden light on his body shattered. This shocked everyone who had come to watch the ceremony. According to their senses, Lin Mo should be the weakest. Even the spiritual artifact in his hand was only at the ninth rank of the spirit rank. He was probably much weaker than Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo. However, Lin Mo used an iron-blooded killing technique to forcefully strangle everyone¡¯s throats. ¡°This is the technique of an archaic divine beast. I¡¯ve read about it in ancient books.¡± ¡°That huge divine bird is a Vermilion Bird Phantom. This is the Vermilion Bird technique. The one behind it is a kirin pattern that originated from the Kirin technique.¡± Someone was shocked and said in a trembling voice. These words caused a huge uproar. One had to know that these legendary divine beasts were too rare. How could their inheritance appear in the eastern continent? Moreover, using the incomplete technique required quite a bit of energy. Why was Lin mo able to use it twice in a row without any problems? While everyone was discussing, the battle between Lin Mo and Li Long was still continuing. On the other side, Jiang Xiyue was also in trouble. The crown prince had arrived, holding the nation-guarding magical artifact, the flame divine spear. He had personally taken action against Jiang Xiyue. The intense battle between the two of them was very loud, like two golden dragons fighting. As for Bai Luo, her opponent was the Saintess Xia you. Compared to the intense battle between Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue, Bai Luo¡¯s situation was relatively stable. The two of them didn¡¯t use their full strength. It was just a simple battle. ¡°Boom!¡± Li Long and Lin Mo fought again. A thousand-meter-tall golden elephant appeared and fiercely suppressed it. This was the cultivation technique that he cultivated. It was called the golden elephant divine technique. Once it was used, it could summon the Golden Elephant Phantom. Its power was astonishing and could destroy the world. He came from the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, so what he learned was naturally not an ordinary thing. This was an earth-grade cultivation technique, one of the sacred land¡¯s most important cultivation techniques. Lin Mo narrowed his eyes. This cultivation technique was not bad. If he could auction it off, it might bring him a lot of benefits. He treated it seriously. Facing the suppression of the golden elephant divine technique, he activated the god Devouring Art and mobilized the devouring power to appear. ¡°Eh?¡± Li Long was stunned. Lin Mo¡¯s attack seemed weak, but it was endless. Another point was that the energy within the Golden Elephant Phantom he summoned seemed to be weakening¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the divine devouring body. So it¡¯s this legendary physique¡­¡± On the other side, Saintess Xia You, who was currently fighting with Bai Luo, exclaimed in shock. All of her previous questions had finally been answered. No wonder Lin Mo would always auction off spirit stones no matter where he went. He would even risk his life to fight for the opportunity in the boulder forbidden ground. ¡°You¡¯re quite knowledgeable. To be honest, if nothing unexpected happens, you¡¯ll be the final winner of the opportunity after the eastern continent¡¯s chaos.¡± Bai Luo could not help but exclaim in admiration. After fighting with Saintess Xia you, she, who had always been arrogant, also recognized this opponent. ¡°There¡¯s a hidden meaning in your words. Who exactly are you?¡±Saintess Xia you frowned. She could not see through Bai Luo in front of her at all. That mysterious feeling made her fear from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Golden elephant annihilates the Earth.¡± Li long let out a furious roar. The Golden Elephant faced the sky and roared. The devouring power wrapped around its body, but it still erupted with a powerful attack. However, Lin Mo was already prepared. The Vermillion Bird Divine Flame was extremely Yang and firm, and the ¡°Cloud piercing four destruction¡±was instantly activated. A terrifying explosion immediately occurred here, and the people nearby screamed in pain. Many people even died from the aftershocks of the explosion. At this point, no one dared to interfere in the battle anymore. ¡°Can¡¯t he use up all of his spiritual qi¡­¡±Li long trembled, and quickly formed a seal to block the aftershocks of the explosion. The golden elephant was pierced through by the Vermillion Bird, and the remaining attacks were all directed at Li Long. Even though he was prepared, Li Long was still unable to block and was heavily injured. ¡°It can end now¡­¡±Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in front of Li Long like a ghost, and the ancient sword of desolation stabbed towards the center of Li Long¡¯s brows. ¡°Buzz Buzz!¡± However, in the next moment, silver-white light flickered around Li Long¡¯s body, and his figure disappeared in an instant. Lin Mo¡¯s attack missed, and he turned his head to look at Saintess Xia You¡¯s side. She was holding a talisman in her right hand, and Li long stood behind her with a pale face. ¡°Sigh, these two fights aren¡¯t serious¡­¡± Chapter 424 - The Crown Prince’s Defeat ¡°Roar!¡± After a loud dragon roar, a golden light appeared. Everyone present felt a pure dragon¡¯s might. On the battlefield between Jiang Xiyue and the crown prince, Jiang Xiyue¡¯s meteor spear turned into a golden dragon and let out waves of dragon roars. In the next moment, the Golden Dragon pierced through the crown prince¡¯s chest and pinned him firmly to the ground. The earth shook and the mountains shook, and waves of air swept up in the surroundings. ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± No matter who it was, they all looked forward in disbelief. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe. The crown prince had lost. The flame divine spear had been snatched away, and he himself had been pierced through the heart by the meteor spear. He had suffered a serious injury. ¡°Guards, form a battle formation and protect the crown prince.¡± The second prince roared furiously from behind. An army of a thousand men appeared. Their battle intent surged, and the aura of these troops fused together. A crimson-gold tiger appeared. This was a battle formation, formed from battle intent. It was an extremely mysterious force. In the past, armies were only a motley crew in front of absolute experts. However, with the support of the battle formation, these motley crew would combine into a sharp battle spear that could break through anything. ¡°Kill!¡± The army from behind rushed over, and the crimson-gold tiger pounced over, exuding an astonishing power. ¡°Flame god army, follow me and fight.¡± Jiang Xiyue roared in anger, and numerous figures rushed out from under the huge Purple Moon Palace. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, the flame god army of more than 1,100 people had finally appeared, and was about to welcome its first battle. ¡°We are willing to fight to the death, even if the palace master is by our side.¡± The flame god army was brimming with battle intent, and the power they erupted with was as if they were crushing the crimson-gold tiger. ¡°Flame god army, form a formation.¡± Behind Jiang Xiyue, the flame god Army¡¯s commander Ning Feng walked out. He waved his hand and gathered the flame god army¡¯s strong fighting spirit. In a short moment, the three-phase killing formation was completed. A column of fire shot up into the sky. The column of fire had just been formed, but it crushed the scarlet golden tiger in an absolutely crushing manner. Behind the second prince, many people in the guards coughed up blood and fell. They were seriously injured. Their combined battle formation should have crushed the Purple Moon Palace. Everywhere they went, people were suffering. Who would have thought that Jiang Xiyue still had an army hidden? It was so terrifying that their combined battle formation could not withstand a single blow. ¡°Impressive¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. This was an army? It seemed that other than having limited movement, their strength was terrifying. ¡°That¡¯s natural. In the southern land, even if it¡¯s an idle mercenary group, they will form their own army and be led by the leader.¡± ¡°This is their foundation. The Purple Moon Palace has three armies and can already be considered a first-rate force in the eastern land.¡± Bai Luo and Jiang Xiyue found Lin Mo. the three of them gathered together and watched the battle. Then, Bai Luo said, ¡°As long as Luo Haoyu or Qi Luo can break through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana stage, the Purple Moon Palace will become the sixth peak force in the eastern land.¡± The Four Great Divine Dynasties and the Divine Armament Holy Land, these five peak powers had divided up the east. No one dared to provoke them, but now, the Purple Moon Palace might be able to become the sixth seat. Regarding these words, Lin Mo agreed. With him around, the issue of resources could be settled with a few more auctions. ¡°Speaking of which, can you be a little more serious? You almost made them lose members just now.¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of something and looked at Bai Luo. This fellow had been fishing during the battle. Although Lin Mo had defeated Li Long, he had not been able to succeed. Saintess Xia You had been paying attention to the battlefield on his side. ¡°The Divine Secrets Holy Land is very strong. It¡¯s best not to offend them within a short period of time,¡± Bai Luo said. Although it was only a matter of time, it was best to stall for as long as possible. Otherwise, if the Divine Secrets Holy Land and the Yanhuang Divine Empire joined forces, they would be the unlucky ones. ¡°It¡¯s best if we can keep this army of guards and interrogate them to get the battle formation map. Then, we can have another battle formation.¡± Lin Mo nodded and said. He did not want to make things difficult for Li Long and Saintess Xia You, but he could not let the people of the Yanhuang Divine Empire go. In addition, the flame god spear that Jiang Xiyue had obtained was also a good item. If he auctioned it off, he could get an even better one. ¡°Ning Feng, capture them.¡± Jiang Xiyue raised her head and gave the order. ¡°Your subordinate obeys.¡± Ning Feng nodded in response. The flame god army¡¯s battle intent erupted once again, crushing the tiger that had just formed. At the same time, the battle intent transformed, and a scarlet red iron chain shot out like lightning. The second prince originally wanted to use his battle intent to resist, but it was all in vain. The three-phase killing array was of a higher grade, and they were unable to resist it. With just one attack, about 2,000 of the Crown Prince¡¯s guards were pierced through by a scarlet chain and bound. The second prince at the front was pierced through the chest by the chain and was firmly imprisoned. He could not use his cultivation. ¡°Rumble.¡± At the same time, explosions came from the sky above Purple Moon Palace. In the next moment, six figures appeared at the same time. They were Luo Haoyu and the others. Three of them came before the crown prince and protected him behind them. Only then did everyone see their faces clearly. ¡°It¡¯s the prince of the southern town, the prince of the northern town, and the White Tiger Marquis.¡± On the viewing platform, many people were shocked. It was the right decision for them to come to the ceremony today. It was very likely that they had only seen a battle of this scale once in their lives. They had originally thought that Purple Moon Palace would already be doomed when they faced the disciples of the Yuan Yang Holy Land. Who would have thought that so many disciples of the Yuan Yang Holy Land would actually be killed by Lin Mo and the other two? In the end, even the crown prince was defeated and had no choice but to send out an army. In the end, the Purple Moon Palace also had an army and even crushed the enemy. ¡°But now that the king of the north and king of the south have come out, the situation might be reversed.¡± Someone sighed. ¡°Yeah, two eighth sky of the Nirvana Realm experts and the White Tiger Marquis. This decisive expert is also at the sixth sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± Many people didn¡¯t think highly of the Purple Moon Palace. They were all feeling regretful. This was really a force created by two juniors. It actually had the reputation of a first-rate force. As long as the Purple Moon Palace could hold on, its reputation would spread throughout the entire eastern continent. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys have bad eyesight? Can¡¯t you see that the Purple Moon Palace also has two heavyweights?¡± Someone said. He pointed at Luo Haoyu and Qi Luo who were standing behind Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo. These two people didn¡¯t release their auras, so they were ignored at the beginning. Now that they had a closer look, they realized that these two were also experts at the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. ¡°This is a bit ridiculous. I¡¯ve never seen these two before.¡± People were shocked. No wonder the purple moon palace was so confident. Two people at the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. The Purple Moon Palace was a first-rate force, worthy of its name. ¡°Bastard, Jiang Xiyue, that¡¯s your second brother. Are you going to kill him?¡± The crown prince was protected, but he saw the guards that he had personally trained were captured. His eyes were red. This was his biggest trump card, and it was also the capital that he had always been proud of. Not only was he talented, but he also had this powerful army that could help him defeat all the enemies. However, he did not expect that this was only the first battle. The guards were crushed and captured. Even the second prince, the commander, could not escape. Chapter 425 - Reveal Your Trump card ¡°What a joke. Do you treat me as your family?¡± Jiang Xiyue sneered. Her eyes were calm, but when she heard that the crown prince was her second brother, her body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Seeing this, Lin Mo walked forward and held her trembling hand. ¡°You have me¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words calmed Jiang Xiyue down. It was as if she had someone to rely on and could not be so lonely anymore. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll leave that blood relationship to you.¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head. If it was a battle, she would not hold back at all and might even cripple these people. However, if she really wanted to kill them, she would still feel a little nervous. ¡°The second prince should just keep his life and cripple his cultivation,¡± she said softly. The bigger picture was more important, and her cultivation had to be crippled. The second prince was the commander of this army. If she crippled him, she would be able to cripple this army in a short period of time. If she was not worried that killing all the guards would cause King Zhennan and King Zhenbei to fight each other, she would not even be willing to let this army go. ¡°Brother Lin, please show mercy.¡± In the distance, Saintess Xia You walked over with Li Long. Seeing that Jiang Xiyue had given the decision to Lin Mo, she said, ¡°What happened today was our fault. On behalf of myself, I apologize to the Purple Moon Palace and make compensation.¡± Saintess Xia You looked at Lin Mo and continued, ¡°Brother Lin should be very short of cultivation resources. I am willing to pay ten million middle-grade spirit stones for today¡¯s offense. Please let this matter go.¡± Ten million mid-grade spirit stones was not a small amount of compensation. Even as a saintess, Xia You¡¯s spirit stones were limited. Taking out ten million this time was a huge expenditure. ¡°That¡¯s easy to say. I don¡¯t want to be enemies with the Saintess.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. Initially, he wanted to get some benefits from the Yanhuang Divine Empire, but he didn¡¯t expect Saintess Xia You to put out an offer first. Saintess Xia you smiled and threw out a Qiankun bag. Lin Mo took it and counted it in person. ¡°Thank you brother Lin, then these people¡­¡± Seeing Lin Mo accept the compensation, Saintess Xia You looked at the guards who were captured by the Yanhuang Army. The crown prince¡¯s eyes were still red as he stared at Lin Mo. he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Ten million middle-grade spirit stones, right? I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± He was about to take out the spiritual stones when Lin Mo suddenly spoke. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you for spiritual stones. Besides, our grudge won¡¯t be resolved so easily.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. What a joke. How could 10 million middle-grade spiritual stones compare to a battle formation. ¡°Junior, what do you want?¡± The southern king said angrily. The northern town king also spoke, ¡°Although Luo Haoyu and Qiluo are powerful, you won¡¯t understand the battle strength of an eighth sky of the Nirvana Realm expert.¡± ¡°Once they start fighting, the Purple Moon Palace, which has just been built and hasn¡¯t even set up a defensive formation, might not be able to hold on.¡± The two narrowed their eyes and stared at Lin Mo, as if they were venomous snakes that could attack at any time. ¡°If you want to attack, you can try.¡± Qiluo looked at the northern king with anger. She had already borrowed the radiant sun spear from Lil¡¯ Die. Once the battle started, although she would be heavily injured, she would definitely be able to kill the northern king. ¡°Where is the red armored army?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and the mountains behind Purple Moon Palace shook. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, an astonishing army flew over. ¡°Red armored army, listen up.¡± The 200,000 strong army felt like a black cloud was pressing down on the city. ¡°Form up, light protection battle formation.¡± Lin Mo said as the army spread out and guarded the Purple Moon Palace. Their fighting spirit was high, and as the red armored army commander moved, a light circle covered the Purple Moon Palace and formed a defense. ¡°Defensive battle formation?¡± Everyone was shocked. The formation gave them an indestructible feeling. Especially since this was a battle formation formed by 200,000 people. One could imagine how powerful it was. ¡°This is heaven-defying. The Purple Moon Palace has two armies?¡± Everyone was shocked. With the appearance of this defensive battle formation, just two eighth Sky Nirvana realm experts wouldn¡¯t be able to break it. Not to mention, they couldn¡¯t casually make a move. Each of them had their own opponents. ¡°Both of you, do you still think that victory is within your grasp?¡± Lin Mo smiled. This time, they had the absolute advantage. ¡°This battle formation is really strong. Where did this brat get it from?¡± Bai Luo observed carefully and praised. The light protection battle formation was much better than her glazed light formation. ¡°First battle, complete victory.¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s face was full of smiles. The Yanhuang Divine Empire had suffered a great defeat this time. Moreover, if they continued to fight, the purple spirit guards would be able to keep all of them here. ¡°Two armies. Jiang Xiyue, you¡¯ve hidden yourself so well¡­¡± The Crown Prince¡¯s face was dark as he looked at Jiang Xiyue, who was chatting with Bai Luo. However, Jiang Xiyue couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She left everything to Lin Mo to handle. ¡°Haha, what a lively scene. But, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea for you guys to continue to fight like this.¡± Right at this moment, a soft laugh was heard. A young man flew out from the viewing platform. ¡°Zhen Gu?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. It was none other than Zhen Gu, the fifth prince of Great Yan dynasty, who had interacted with him before. ¡°What? Are the people of Great Yan dynasty planning to get involved?¡± The crown prince asked coldly. He knew the identity of this man, the fifth prince who was about to inherit the throne of Great Yan Divine Empire. ¡°No. I just think that since both of you have no intention to fight to the death, why don¡¯t we settle things peacefully and end this once and for all?¡± Zhen Gu said with a smile. ¡°Release them and return the flame divine spear. We will retreat immediately.¡± The crown prince snorted coldly. ¡°No Way. The flame divine spear is a trophy. As for the guards, we can¡¯t just let them go.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Finally, a peacemaker came out. Originally, he was still waiting for Saintess Xia You to come out and mediate. However, it was the same. Whoever came out to stop them would be fine. ¡°The Flame Divine Spear has my brand on it. You won¡¯t be able to remove it if I don¡¯t die. That¡¯s an earth grade magic artifact.¡± The crown prince said angrily, ¡°You won¡¯t be able to use this magic artifact.¡± ¡°That makes sense¡­Oh right, I hope everyone can tell your friends and relatives that the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s Yue Xuan auction will be held in ten days. At that time, some treasures from the monolith forbidden ground will be auctioned off. This flame divine spear will be the finale. Those who are interested can come and bid.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile, cupping his fists towards the crowd on the viewing platform. He had collected quite a number of treasures from the Monolith Forbidden Ground, and many of them were useless. If that was the case, he might as well sell them. Now that they lacked cultivation resources, they could kill two birds with one stone. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± The crown prince was furious, and his entire body was trembling from anger. This was the flame emperor dynasty¡¯s guardian divine artifact, yet it was treated as the finale auction item by Lin Mo. ¡°See if I dare.¡± Lin Mo curled his lips and couldn¡¯t be bothered. He continued, ¡°You can also participate in the auction. I won¡¯t touch you. Just bring enough spirit stones.¡± Then, he turned his gaze to the captured guards and the second prince. ¡°The price is set. Two spirit rank ninth grade magic weapons and 30 million middle grade spirit stones. I¡¯ll let you guys leave.¡± ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you guys won¡¯t be able to leave.¡± Chapter 426 - Yue Xuan Auction Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned cold, and the flame god army let out a furious roar. Their fighting spirit soared again, and they could attack at any time. Luo Haoyu and Qi Luo, who were at the front, had their auras soaring and locked onto the southern king and the northern king. Their role was to pin down these two people. As for the rest, the flame divine army could sweep them away. No one could stop them. ¡°Junior, are you really going to do it?¡± The White Tiger Marquis stood up and looked at Lin Mo with his tiger-like eyes. He had been indebted to Lin Mo. compared to the crown prince, he was more inclined to Jiang Xiyue. However, he was loyal to the emperor. He only knew how to carry out orders. ¡°Lord White Tiger, you can¡¯t do anything either. Come, let¡¯s continue fighting.¡± The medicine jar also stood out. He had been fighting with the Lord White Tiger before, and now was no exception. ¡°Everyone, it¡¯s better for each of you to take a step back. Your highness, we have invaded the Purple Moon Palace, so we should compensate you. Give us thisthirty million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Saintess Xia You stood out and said. At the same time, she looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°Brother Lin, this flame god spear is the country-protecting artifact of the Yanhuang Divine Empire. It¡¯s better to return it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no room for discussion. I¡¯ve already released the news of my auction. I can¡¯t go back on my words.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. For a moment, both sides were in a stalemate. Seeing that they couldn¡¯t get the spirit stones, Lin Mo made up his mind and ordered Ning Feng to cripple the second prince¡¯s cultivation first. ¡°Got it.¡± Ning Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, laughed loudly. He raised the spear in his hand and was about to stab down. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± As expected, no matter what time it was, he would be able to make the other party compromise quickly. Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. Looking at the crown prince¡¯s distorted face, he stretched out his hand and said, ¡°40 million middle-grade spirit stones, give it to me.¡± These words caused the crown prince, who was already extremely furious, to be ignited with anger. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t go too far.¡± He had just agreed to give 30 million middle-grade spirit stones, but in the end, Lin Mo turned around and asked for 40 million. ¡°Brother Lin, biting off more than you can chew, you¡¯re going a little overboard.¡± Saintess Xia You said with a frown. Even the crown prince had agreed, this fellow still wanted to take advantage of the situation. ¡°Previously, it was 30 million, now it¡¯s 40 million. It¡¯s best to agree quickly, otherwise, it¡¯ll be 50 million later.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He didn¡¯t care whether the other party was impatient or not, since they were mortal enemies, there was no harm in completely offending him. ¡°Do you really think that the spirit stones of our Yanhuang Divine Empire are that easy to get?¡± The southern king said with a cold snort. They could barely gather thirty million middle-grade spirit stones, but it would be a little difficult for them to gather forty million. ¡°If you continue to be long-winded, the price will rise again later,¡± Lin Mo reminded and nodded at Ning Feng. ¡°Haha.¡± Seeing this, Ning Feng laughed loudly and was about to cripple the second prince¡¯s cultivation. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give it to you!¡± The northern king hurriedly said. He couldn¡¯t say anything harsh at this time. ¡°Then give it to me.¡± Lin Mo stretched out his hand. Following that, the crown prince, the southern king, and the northern king gathered together and took out all the spirit stones on their bodies. Following that, the crown prince¡¯s expression became unsightly. ¡°Let me say this first. I reject credit. After all, you won¡¯t be paying back.¡± Lin Mo was the first to speak. Hearing this, the crown prince forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Saintess Xia You on the other side. ¡°Saintess, please lend me 8,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. When we return, I¡¯ll hand them over with both hands.¡± Everyone present was stunned when they saw this. They were both surprised and shocked at the same time. The crown prince had really compromised. He was willing to pay compensation and even asked Saintess Xia You for money¡­ In the past, they wouldn¡¯t even dare to think about such a thing. Who could make the crown prince suffer such a huge loss. ¡°Of course.¡±Saintess Xia You nodded. This time, she took out 18 million middle-grade spirit stones. It could be said that it was a huge loss. Moreover, it had made the Purple Moon Palace famous throughout the world. The auction five days later would probably be very lively. ¡°Brother Lin, sorry for the disturbance. I¡¯ll see you in five days.¡± Saintess Xia you did not want to stay any longer. Following that, Lin Mo released the Crown Prince¡¯s guards as promised. However, before he released them, Ning Feng found a scroll from the second prince¡¯s interspatial ring. On it were written four powerful words, ¡®Red Tiger Battle Formation. ¡°This battle formation won¡¯t be of much help to us. Let¡¯s auction it together,¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. At this moment, everyone in the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s main hall was beaming with joy. A total of 40 million middle-grade spirit stones. Although it was a little weaker compared to the wealth that the Purple Moon Palace had accumulated. However, this was still a considerable amount of income. Did you really have to let the people from the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty participate in the auction? Jiang Xiyue said with some worry. If the person who came was at the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm, it would be a disaster to put him in the Purple Moon Palace. Although the defense of the light protection battle formation was very strong, the destruction of the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm from the inside would cause immeasurable losses to them. ¡°Naturally, we won¡¯t hold the auction in the Purple Moon Palace. Hailing city is a good choice.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Although there were still some purple spirit guards who had yet to come into the world, they were still the biggest trump card in their arsenal. It would be best if they could stay for a while longer. ¡°That¡¯s true. Hailing city is the most important city closest to the border of Yanhuang Divine Empire. That¡¯s also the reason why we chose this place to build Purple Moon Palace.¡± Jiang Xiyue said with a smile. They could attack and retreat here, and they could also trade with the Great Yan Divine Empire and Lu Jin Divine Empire. Most of the connections she had in the past could still be used, especially those with the Great Yan Divine Empire. ¡°I¡¯ll go to Hailing city to build the lunar pavilion first. You guys can continue to perfect the Purple Moon Palace.¡± Lin Mo said. Jiang Xiyue was even more skilled in the construction of the Purple Moon Palace. After all, she had long prepared for it. However, he preferred the auction house, a system that could bring him countless resources. The bigger the auction house was, the better it would be for him. When Lin Mo arrived at Hailing city, all the families in Hailing city came to report. They all chose to submit. As for the city lord¡¯s mansion, it had already left with the crown prince. Some of the forces and families that were unwilling to be controlled by the Purple Moon Palace also chose to move. They didn¡¯t want to stay. Lin Mo didn¡¯t care about this and didn¡¯t interfere with the fights between the various forces in Hailing city. He directly occupied the city lord¡¯s mansion at the very center and called over some idle mercenaries, asking them to build the city lord¡¯s mansion into the appearance of Yue Xuan. ¡°Huixiang, you are still in charge here. I often leave, so I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Lin Mo looked at Yue Xuan, who was in the midst of construction, and said with a smile. ¡°Vice Palace Master, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s my honor to be able to manage Yue Xuan again,¡± Huixiang said happily. Although Hai Ling city was not as prosperous as the imperial city, as long as the Purple Moon Palace continued to exist, it would be comparable to the imperial city in less than ten years. ¡°You can send out the invitations now. The auction of Yue Xuan will officially begin in five days.¡± Lin Mo laughed out loud and ordered his subordinates to distribute the invitations. Through the teleportation formation in Hai Ling City, five golden invitations were sent to the Sacred Land of divine secrets, the Great Yan Divine Empire, the Lu Jin Divine Empire, the Great Ancient Divine Empire, and the Yan Huang Divine Empire. At the same time, he also marked some rare treasures on the invitation cards, inviting these people to come. Within five days, Yue Xuan was built, and many forces came to participate in the auction¡­ Chapter 427 - The Yue Xuan Auction ¡°Welcome to the Yue Xuan auction. Yue Xuan has just been established. Thank you for coming.¡± On the auction stage, Lin Mo looked at the bustling hall and was secretly surprised. There were so many people here. If he hadn¡¯t occupied the city Lord¡¯s mansion, there probably wouldn¡¯t be so many people. ¡°Vice Palace Master Lin, the Purple Moon Palace has just been established and is already holding an auction. The scale of this auction must be very huge, right?¡± Someone said. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s only natural. I¡¯ll make it clear again. This time, there will be more than one earth grade treasure. Everyone, please look forward to it.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly. There were many people here, and these people had heard that the Yan Huang Dynasty¡¯s nation-protecting magic tool, the flame divine spear, was going to be auctioned. Therefore, many people had brought treasures with them, wanting to auction them off with Spirit Stones. ¡°What? There¡¯s more than one?¡± Everyone was shocked. If that was really the case, who knew what kind of treasure would be the final item to be auctioned off? ¡°Hehe, let¡¯s wait and see. Brother Lin, let¡¯s hurry up and start the auction.¡± Among the four private rooms at the front, Saintess Xia You walked out from one of them and chatted with Lin Mo. It was as if she wasn¡¯t the one who had joined forces with the Yanhuang Divine dynasty to attack the Purple Moon Palace a few days ago. ¡°That¡¯s good too. Everyone can¡¯t wait any longer. The Yue Xuan auction will officially begin.¡± Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand. A maid walked up from behind with a silver plate in her hand. Everyone in the hall stared at the maid who walked up with great anticipation. Even the people in the private room were the same. They wanted to see what grade the first item was. ¡°The first item is the spirit rank 3 scarlet tiger battle formation. It¡¯s the spoils of war from the Purple Moon Palace.¡± ¡°A treasure like the battle formation is extremely precious in the eastern continent. Everyone should know that I won¡¯t waste any more words. The starting price is one million middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand. Let the bidding begin.¡± The first item was a third tier spirit realm treasure. If it was an ordinary treasure, these people might not be interested in it. However, if it was a battle formation, then things would be different. Although its grade was low, as long as the army was strong enough, it would be able to unleash a powerful force. It could be said that in the eastern continent, all the forces that could have an army were all super first-rate forces. There were no more than ten forces of such level in the eastern continent. ¡°Two million.¡± In the private room at the very front, the fifth Prince of Great Yan Divine Empire, Zhen Gu, walked out. He cupped his fist at Lin Mo and said with a smile, ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯ve really surprised me. You can even auction off treasures like battle formations.¡± ¡°Hehe, Prince Zhen Gu, You¡¯re the future Emperor of Great Yan Divine Empire. How can you even say two million?¡± A woman¡¯s soft laughter rang out. Under the astonished gazes of the people, a woman dressed in a yellow robe walked out from the private room. Lin Mo was a little surprised as well. From the conversation among the crowd, he learned that this person was the third princess of the Great Ancient Divine Dynasty. She was extremely talented, and had defeated many geniuses of great ancient God dynasty, obtaining the first place. He didn¡¯t expect that such a person would actually participate in the auction. ¡°So it¡¯s Princess Gu Luo. If you want this battle formation, you can also participate in the auction,¡± Zhen Gu said with a smile, making an inviting gesture. ¡°Of course. Who would complain about having too many treasures like the battle formation?¡± Gu Luo smiled and said, ¡°Five million. Prince Zhen Gu, your Great Yan Divine Empire doesn¡¯t lack battle formations. Why don¡¯t you give them to me?¡± Hearing that, Zhen Gu shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do. Eight Million.¡± ¡°Nine million.¡± ¡°Ten million.¡± The bidding process between the two of them was too drastic. Although many people in the hall wanted to make a bid, they could only shake their heads helplessly in the end. The people from the other factions also watched the two bid. In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Tiger Battle Formation had already reached a high price of 15 million. ¡°20 million.¡± At this moment, Zhen Gu originally planned to continue bidding. However, he discovered that the second prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire had walked out. He was expressionless as he directly participated in the bidding. Furthermore, he had increased the bid by 5 million. This battle formation originally belonged to the Yanhuang Divine Empire, and it was their foundation. Now, it was being auctioned off by Lin Mo in public. This was simply a great humiliation. ¡°So it¡¯s the second prince of the Yanhuang dynasty. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you. I thought you guys wouldn¡¯t come to participate in the bidding.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and smiled. The spies he had arranged previously had not seen the people of the Yanhuang dynasty, so he thought that these people would not come. It seemed that the intelligence work had to be raised a little. ¡°21 million,¡± Zhen Gu spoke again. These words caused the second prince to frown. He stared at Zhen Gu and did not say anything. ¡°25 million.¡± ¡°26 million.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± The second Prince said angrily. He looked at Zhen Gu. This was a direct confrontation. Every time Zhen Gu raised the price, it was one million. It was clear that he was going against him. ¡°Pay attention to the situation. This is an auction house. What does my normal auction have to do with you?¡± Zhen gu waved his hand without any fear. ¡°Cough cough, Yue Xuan auction house forbids fighting. Second Prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, if you don¡¯t want to participate in the bidding, you can leave.¡± Lin Mo coughed and said. Hearing this, the second prince¡¯s expression became even uglier as he stared at Lin Mo and Zhen Gu. However, he still compromised in the end. The Scarlet Tiger Battle Formation couldn¡¯t be spread out. Otherwise, even if he was a prince, he wouldn¡¯t be able to absolve himself from the blame. This defeat and capture had already caused his status in the emperor¡¯s heart to drop. If the scarlet tiger battle formation really fell into the hands of another faction, it was likely that he, the prince, would have done everything he could. ¡°I bid 30 million.¡±The second prince calmed his emotions and made another bid. ¡°31 million.¡±Almost in the next instant, Zhen Gu had already made his bid. Every time he raised the bid, it was only 1 million. This made the second prince more and more furious. ¡°31 million going once.¡± Lin Mo spoke at the right time and dropped an auction hammer, reminding the second prince to continue bidding. ¡°31 million going twice.¡± ¡°Wait, I bid 35 million.¡± The second prince quickly spoke and glared at Lin Mo fiercely. The speed at which he dropped the hammer was too obvious. ¡°36,000,000.¡± Zhen Gu bid once again. Even Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but laugh. This was a blatant provocation¡­ ¡°40,000,000. If you can still raise the price, then it¡¯s yours.¡± The second prince roared angrily and stared at Zhen Gu. ¡°Sigh, why are you shouting so loudly? If you wanted to say it earlier, I would have given it to you. Don¡¯t you know how to communicate?¡± Zhen gu rubbed his ears and pretended to be helpless as he spread out his hands, indicating that he had given up on the competition. ¡°You¡­¡± The second Prince felt as if he had punched cotton, and he felt extremely powerless. In fact, he seemed to have heard a series of ear-piercing roars coming from his surroundings. ¡°Alright. Congratulations to the second Prince of the Yanhuang dynasty for buying the ¡®Crimson Tiger Battle Formation¡¯at the price of forty million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo held back his laughter and dropped the auction hammer. He looked at Zhen Gu and nodded to himself. As expected of the person he had high hopes for. It was not a waste for him to give him two battle formations at the price of half-selling and half-giving. Helping him raise the price at such a critical moment could be said to worsen the relationship between Great Yan dynasty and Yanhuang dynasty. But, he still did it. This friend of his was worth it. Chapter 428 - Inner Core of the Azure Phoenix [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the rank 3 spirit rank Scarlet Tiger Battle Formation ] [ You have successfully triggered the 3,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the rank 4 Spirit Rank White Tiger Howling Sky Formation ] 40 million middle-grade spirit stones, he wasn¡¯t considered to be at a loss, and he had even returned a rank 4 spirit rank battle formation. ¡°It won¡¯t be of much use, let¡¯s auction it off. Spirit stones are the most important.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself as he waved his hand, and a maid walked up from behind, holding a silver plate in her hand. The red cloth was lifted, and what greeted his eyes were streaks of golden light, emitting a resplendent radiance. ¡°Spirit rank 6, obsidian. Its texture is hard, and it can be used to refine spiritual artifacts. Friends who need it can come and bid for it.¡± This obsidian, Lin Mo, was very fond of it in the beginning. He had originally planned to fuse it into the ancient sword of desolation. But in the end, he gave up. This was because obsidian would forcefully increase the metal attribute of a weapon. He currently did not know this attribute. The next attribute that he planned to comprehend was lightning. By fusing lightning and flames, the power that would erupt would be even more powerful. Both of them were attributes with superior offensive power, and they provided the greatest boost to one¡¯s battle prowess. ¡°The starting bid for this obsidian stone is 800,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000.¡± ¡°Let the auction begin now.¡± Lin Mo dropped his hammer. This time, the people in the private room did not participate in the auction. Most of them were here for the treasures at the back. There was no need to waste spirit stones for a piece of obsidian. ¡°I¡¯ll bid 900,000.¡± ¡°1,000,000.¡± Just because the people in the private room did not want it did not mean that no one in the hall wanted it. These people were extremely excited, and there were more than a dozen people who participated in the bidding. Soon, the obsidian was taken by an old woman at a high price of 1,900,000. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 6 obsidian ] [ You have successfully triggered 4,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit rank 8 demon spirit stone ] The profit from the auction this time made Lin Mo very happy. Demon Spirit Stones were extremely rich in energy. However, this energy was rather violent and could only be absorbed by Demon Beasts. It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to refine it. In fact, not many people would dare to consume demon spirit stones that had been processed by alchemists. ¡°I can use it to refine the ancient sword of desolation.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The value of this item was not bad. It would be a pity to sell it or swallow it. However, it was hard to imagine the difficulty of refining an earth grade spiritual artifact. If he was not careful, he might even destroy the ancient sword of desolation. This was also the reason why he was unwilling to refine it. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll keep it for now.¡± After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo shook his head and beckoned for the maid to bring the third item up for auction. ¡°This is a pill recipe, spirit grade tier 7 wind pill, wind attribute cultivation type spirit pill.¡± ¡°After consuming this pill, one¡¯s cultivation speed will increase by twofold until the Nirvana stage. The bottleneck will also be eliminated.¡± ¡°Moreover, as long as one cultivates to the Nirvana stage before the age of 30, one will be able to condense an extremely powerful foundation. The rapid cultivation of the wind pill will cause one¡¯s aura to fluctuate and will completely disappear.¡± The benefits of the wind pill were huge for people with average talent. However, for people with good talent, it was useless. For people like Lin Mo and the others, the improvement of the Wind Luo Dan was equivalent to nothing. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all for the introduction. The starting price is three million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer and announced the start of the auction. ¡°3,200,000.¡± ¡°3,300,000.¡± The bidding price was once again announced, and many people were extremely excited. Although the pill formula for the wind pill was very expensive, it was worth it. As long as they could buy it, their faction would be able to quickly increase their strength. ¡°Interesting. Using this kind of Spirit Pill to nurture an army will definitely be more effective. This prince will take it.¡± After a chuckle, someone finally walked out from the last private room in front. This person was the crown prince of the Lu Jinshen dynasty. He had never made a move before, but now that he had appeared, and from what he said, it seemed that this guy also wanted to create an army. ¡°Then I¡¯ll bid four million. Don¡¯t fight over a seventh tier spirit grade pill formula. It¡¯s very difficult to refine this kind of spirit pill.¡± Lu Jinshen smiled at the Crown Prince. His voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it made some people in the hall stop bidding. He was right. It was difficult to refine a spirit rank 7 pill formula. It was basically impossible for an ordinary faction to do so. ¡°4,000,000 going once. Is there anyone who will bid higher?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. This kind of price auction was a bit of a loss for him. Although he didn¡¯t care, who would be willing to lose spirit stones? Moreover, even if he returned the profits, he didn¡¯t need the pill formula. In the end, he still had to sell it. ¡°Four million going twice.¡± After dropping the hammer for the second time, Lin Mo felt a little helpless. It seemed that no one was willing to compete with the Crown Prince of the Lu Jin dynasty. ¡°The third time, sold. Okay, Congratulations to the Crown Prince of the Lu Jin dynasty for buying this pill formula.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer for the third time and announced the results of the auction. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Spirit Rank 7 pill formula, Wind Luo Pill formula ] [ Successfully triggered the 8,000 times auction profit ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the Spirit Rank 9 Nirvana Golden Pill Formula ] After obtaining an unfamiliar pill formula, Lin Mo was a little curious and checked it in the system space. Nirvana Golden Pill, as its name implied, was a spirit pill related to Nirvana Realm experts. This kind of spiritual pill was very mysterious. It could help people achieve the nirvana golden body. Once this golden body was consumed, the physical body would be perfected. People like Lin Mo who had the God-Devouring Body did not need the Nirvana Golden Pill. As long as they cultivated naturally, they would be able to reach this realm. As for Jiang Xiyue who had refined the true dragon heart blood, she naturally did not need a golden pill. The dragon blood could refine her physical body to the peak. However, it was also very powerful and could be used as the foundation of the Purple Moon Palace in the future. ¡°The next item is an inner core. Its grade is very high. It¡¯s at the eighth level of the spirit level.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, he first opened the red cloth covering the silver plate. In an instant, purple light blossomed and a pure energy gushed out. The entire auction house was enveloped by this energy. ¡°What astonishing energy.¡± The people in front were all shocked. How could such a grade inner core be at the spirit rank 8? ¡°As everyone can see, this level of energy doesn¡¯t seem like the spirit rank 8, but more like the earth rank inner core.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he explained. He held the inner core in his hand and showed it to everyone. ¡°It¡¯s not bad. This inner core came from the rock forbidden ground. When I took it back then, it caused its origin to be damaged.¡± ¡°It will continue to weaken the energy within its body. In about half a year, it will become an ordinary object. That¡¯s why I gave it a grade of spirit rank 8.¡± After saying that, everyone came to a sudden realization. So that was how it was. No Wonder Lin Mo would sell it instead of collecting it. ¡°This is the inner core of the Azure Phoenix, right? The wind attribute suits me very well. Tell me the price.¡±Saintess Xia you spoke. From the moment this energy bloomed, she already knew the details of this inner core. However, it was still useful to her. ¡°What? This is the Azure Phoenix inner core?¡± Everyone was shocked. The Azure Phoenix was an extinct demonic beast in the eastern continent. Chapter 429 - The Shock and Awe of the Purple Spirit Guards Who would have thought that there would be the inner core of the Azure Phoenix in the Monolith Forbidden Ground? As expected of one of the greatest forbidden grounds in the eastern continent. ¡°That¡¯s right, Saintess Xia You has good eyesight. This is the inner core of the Azure Phoenix, but it¡¯s damaged.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Saintess Xia You¡¯s eyesight was indeed unique. She could sense it just from her aura. It was very impressive. ¡°The starting bid for the Azure Phoenix inner core is 3.5 million. Each increment must not be less than 200,000.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. The starting bid of 3.5 million was unknown how high the final bid would be. ¡°3.8 million.¡± ¡°4 million.¡± It was not just Saintess Xia You who was interested. The others were also interested. They all bid one after another, wanting to obtain the Azure Phoenix inner core. ¡°4.5 million.¡± At this moment, the second prince made his bid in Yan Huang¡¯s private room. He couldn¡¯t stand the Azure Phoenix¡¯s inner core any longer. ¡°4.7 million.¡± The second Prince had just made his bid when Zhen Gu raised the price. It was neither too fast nor too slow. It was just when the second prince finished his bid. ¡°5 million.¡± However, Saintess Xia You¡¯s voice sounded in the next moment. She also made her bid and fought with everyone for the Azure Phoenix¡¯s inner core. ¡°5.5 million.¡± The second prince continued to bid, unwilling to miss out. The others might not know the reason why he bought the inner core of the Azure Phoenix. However, people like Saintess Xia You and the others all knew his motive. In the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty, there was a supreme elder. It was said that he was the twin brother of the previous emperor. This person had outstanding talent and was once known as the number one person in the Nirvana Realm. He was the person with the highest possibility of ascending to the Immortal Foundation. However, even if his talent was shocking, he would still be stuck at the end of the Nirvana Realm before the age of fifty. But even so, he was still stuck at this heavenly chasm that was hard to cross. ¡°Is it for that Grand Elder? Forget it, it seems like the second prince won¡¯t be able to compete with Saintess Xia You.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo muttered to himself. He wasn¡¯t worried that the grand elder would be able to break through with the aid of an Azure Phoenix inner core. If it was really that simple, he would have broken through long ago after so many years. ¡°Six million.¡± Below, Saintess Xia You spoke, raising the price to six million. This price was already considered expensive. No matter how precious an inner core was, the price would only go up to this point. If the price was raised, it would be a loss-making transaction. ¡°Six million going once. Are there any friends who wish to participate in the bidding?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. Seeing that no one was bidding, he knocked on the auction hammer again. ¡°Six million going twice. Is there no one else bidding?¡± Everyone remained silent as they looked at Lin Mo.. Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head and was about to place the hammer for the third time. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll bid 6.5 million.¡± Suddenly, a strange voice sounded. Everyone was shocked as they saw the space in front of the auction stage fluctuate. Soon after, a hunchbacked old man appeared. His gray-white long hair fluttered without wind. His gray clothes appeared extremely ordinary and his appearance was old. It felt like he was an old man who was about to die. ¡°Something¡¯s not right¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely shocked. He looked ahead warily, but the old man had appeared without a sound. Furthermore, he used his soul power to check, but he did not sense any aura in front of him. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have even felt that there was someone in front of him. ¡°Since it¡¯s an auction, let¡¯s follow the rules. This old man has bid. The little girl from the Divine Armament Sacred Land, please give her to this old man.¡± The old man turned around and looked at Saintess Xia You. His pale face squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. ¡°So it¡¯s senior Jiang Long. I didn¡¯t expect that senior would also participate in the auction. This junior is surprised.¡± Saintess Xia You bowed slightly as a form of greeting. ¡°There¡¯s no choice. There are some treasures in this auction that even this old man is very interested in. After all, they came from the Monolith Forbidden Ground.¡± After joking around with Saintess Xia You for a bit, the old man named Jiang Long¡¯s gaze turned cold as he looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Junior, this old man has been bidding for so long. Aren¡¯t you going to announce the results?¡± The difference in tone caused a chill to appear in the air. It was extremely dense, and everyone in the Hall didn¡¯t dare to breathe loudly. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just a little surprised. After all, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry would dare to bid against the Saintess of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land.¡± Lin Mo said very casually, not taking this old man in front of him seriously at all. However, his words made everyone in the hall almost wet their pants. Some people were shivering, wishing they could rush out and escape as soon as possible. This Lin Mo was too bold. That was Jiang Long, the supreme elder of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty, an existence at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. He was just a junior. Did he really think that he would be safe and sound with the protection of two experts at the eighth sky of the Nirvana Stage? ¡°Junior, do you know the difference between the ninth sky and the eighth sky?¡± Jiang Long¡¯s face was somewhat gloomy as he looked at Lin Mo. he really wanted to make a move now, but he was worried about the army not far away from Lin Mo. He could walk, but the second prince would be in a bit of trouble. ¡°Senior, you can use your spiritual sense to check the situation outside.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He didn¡¯t care about Jiang Long¡¯s threat at all. At this moment, when the outside world heard Lin Mo¡¯s reminder, many people used their spiritual senses to check their surroundings. However, in the next moment, an extremely terrifying battle intent undulated over. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, battle intent gathered and finally formed a human figure. His facial features couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, and he wore purple battle armor. A grayish-black battle halberd in his hand emitted a power that caused the world to tremble. Hailing city instantly fell into a state of panic. An army of five thousand people flew out from the Purple Moon Palace and flew towards this place. That grayish-black battle halberd seemed to carry a destructive aura that could destroy everything. ¡°This is¡­ The Third Army of the Purple Moon Palace.¡± Someone¡¯s body trembled. This was too terrifying and unbelievable. The Purple Moon Palace also hid an army. Moreover, they were also in control of the battle formation, and their strength was at the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm. ¡°From today onwards, the sixth top force in the eastern continent has been born.¡± Saintess Xia You withdrew her spiritual sense and looked at Lin Mo on the stage. For the first time, she felt fear. In other words, this fear came from Jiang Xiyue. She was able to build three armies without anyone noticing. Only now did she understand what kind of foundation the Purple Moon Palace had. Out of the three top geniuses, one was Bai Luo, whom she had never seen through. Now, there were three more armies. With this foundation, if they really fought the Purple Moon Palace to the death, it was still unknown who would live and who would die¡­ ¡°This is the purple spirit guards, the Third Army of the Purple Moon Palace. They control a level 9 spirit rank battle formation. Senior, do you want to give it a try?¡± On the stage, Lin Mo smiled and looked at Jiang Long, who had a gloomy expression. At this moment, the contempt on Jiang Long¡¯s face had disappeared. What replaced it was a grave expression. Everyone had originally thought that two armies were the limit of the Purple Moon Palace. Who would have thought that Jiang Xiyue had hidden a third army, and it was actually a spirit rank 9 battle formation. ¡°I underestimated you. Perhaps¡­ Jiang Xiyue is the most suitable person to inherit the throne¡­¡± Jiang long slowly opened his mouth and solemnly said¡­ Chapter 430 - Pure Origin of the Lightning Dao These words shocked the second prince beside him. He looked at Jiang long. What was the meaning of this? was this person planning to invite Jiang Xiyue back? ¡°Senior, it¡¯s a little too late for you to say such words.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Seeing that Jiang Xiyue had revealed her trump card, he began to regret what he had done earlier. ¡°That¡¯s true. It¡¯s a little late, but it¡¯s not like we can¡¯t handle it.¡± Jiang Long waved his hand and gestured for the second prince to calm down. Although the situation was a little unexpected, it was not out of control yet. ¡°The auction continues. Congratulations to this senior for winning the Azure Phoenix Inner Core.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and announced the results of the auction, causing everyone¡¯s thoughts to return to normal. However, at this moment, there was a deep fear in everyone¡¯s eyes. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the inner core of the Azure Phoenix ] [ You have successfully triggered the 7,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the complete inner core of the Azure Phoenix, Grade 1 Earth rank ] The return was for the complete inner core of the Azure Phoenix. However, no one on their side could use it. Luo Haoyu had said that he was a metal attribute cultivator while they were of the water and fire attributes. Hence, this treasure could only be put aside for now. ¡°Forget it. At most, I¡¯ll devour it the next time I go into seclusion.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and prepared the next item for auction. ¡°Everyone, please take a look. This item is a silver pistil flower. It¡¯s also from the rock forbidden ground. It¡¯s a seventh tier spirit grade flower.¡± On the silver plate, there was a dazzling silver flower. It was extremely demonic and emitted a weak light. However, some of its silver leaves were showing signs of withering. ¡°As you can see, the root system of this flower has been damaged and can no longer be planted. It can only be consumed or used to refine pills.¡± ¡°In addition, the spirituality of this silver pistil flower is weakening. It can only last for half a month at most. It needs to be consumed as soon as possible.¡± After introducing its characteristics, Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and said, ¡°The starting price of this silver pistil flower is three million. Each increment must not be less than 100,000. The auction will begin now.¡± As soon as he said that, shouts of bids rose one after another. The silver stamen flower¡¯s medicinal effects were mild and was useful to most people. As a result, this treasure was very popular. Quite a few people chose to bid, and there were even some people who participated in the private rooms. ¡°I bid five million.¡± A middle-aged man stood up and called out five million, instantly overshadowing the bids of these people. ¡°Five million going once. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo said, looking at the hesitant crowd. ¡°5,000,000 going twice.¡± ¡°Three times, sold. Congratulations to this guest, for successfully bidding for the silver pistil flower.¡± After dropping the hammer, the auction results came out, and that person was instantly overjoyed. 5,000,000 for a silver pistil flower was already pretty good. [ Congratulations to host for successfully bidding for a spirit rank 7 silver pistil flower ] [ Triggered 6000 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit rank 9 silver dragon flower ] A spirit rank 9 spirit herb. Lin Mo took a look before continuing the auction. ¡°The next item up for auction is the corpse of a demonic beast.¡± Muffled sounds of footsteps could be heard from behind. Six burly men carrying a huge metal rack walked up. On the shelf, there was a slightly withered corpse. ¡°This item was sent by someone else. I heard it came from a forbidden place. This demonic beast is a storm beast.¡± ¡°I think everyone should know that in the territory of Great Yan Divine Empire, there is a forbidden place of wind and thunder, and there are some special demonic beasts in it.¡± The crowd was discussing among themselves. There was a special energy in the forbidden place of wind and thunder, and it contained the power of wind and thunder. The forbidden land produced a special kind of spirit herb, the wind and thunder fruit. This was the favorite food of the wind and thunder beasts. Since it was consumed all year round, this also caused the wind and thunder beasts to accumulate a large amount of wind or thunder attribute origin in their bodies. As long as one could hunt and kill, there was a certain probability of retaining the origin in their body. As long as the body was cracked open, one would be able to see it. However, the probability of this origin being left behind was very low. Clearly, the auctioneer wasn¡¯t optimistic about his luck. Thus, he brought it up for auction, hoping to earn a sum of spirit stones. ¡°Everyone, who has the guts to participate in this auction?¡± Lin Mo smiled. After introducing the corpse, he lowered his hammer and said, ¡°The starting bid for the corpse of the wind lightning beast is 3,500,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 200,000 spirit stones.¡± As soon as such a bid appeared, the auction hall fell into momentary silence. 3,500,000. For the sake of betting on the wind lightning essence, this could be said to be a huge gamble. The moment he lost, he would truly suffer a huge loss. However, the wind lightning beast inner core was at most worth over a million. ¡°No one is willing to bid for it? Don¡¯t tell me that everyone isn¡¯t willing to make a huge gamble?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. This was the first time he had encountered such an auction item. However, he didn¡¯t know what the rebate would be. ¡°3.5 million.¡± At this moment, a young man in the hall stood up. Shouting out this price had already caused him to bear a huge psychological burden. ¡°3.7 million.¡± At this moment, another shout sounded out. Raising the bid by 200,000, not willing to raise it by a single cent. ¡°Is the probability very low? These people don¡¯t want to participate.¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had thought that he would be able to sell it for a good price, but in the end, it was only at this level. ¡°Hehe, let me support brother Lin. Four million.¡± In the end, Saintess Xia You made a bid. She was also of the wind and thunder attribute. Even if she could not bet on the origin, she would still be able to obtain an inner core. ¡°Four million going once. No one is willing to make a bid?¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. It seemed like the probability was really low, and no one was willing to bid. ¡°Four million going twice.¡± ¡°The third time, sold. Congratulations, Saintess Xia You.¡± The auction hammer fell, and Lin Mo waved his hand. This corpse could only be sold like this, but he didn¡¯t know what the system would return. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the body of a wind and thunder beast. There is an inner core in the body, and the Thunder attribute is pure origin. The auction has suffered a huge loss. ] [ The system has compensated you, triggering 30,000 times the auction return. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit grade tier 9 Wind Thunder Beast Inner Core, Earth rank 5 thunder attribute is the pure origin. ] The system¡¯s words caused Lin Mo to freeze on the spot, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart. The body of the Wind Thunder Beast that was auctioned off really contained an origin, and it was of the thunder attribute. The system had already compensated him. ¡°Isn¡¯t my next attribute wanting the lightning attribute? This is really a timely help.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He was very satisfied with this result. The pure lightning attribute was enough for the Devouring God Body to give birth to the lightning path laws. The corpse of the wind and thunder beast had given him a huge profit. This was very unexpected, and it also made him remember that forbidden area. ¡°I¡¯ll find an opportunity to go there and try.¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo waved his hand, and the maid at the back walked up. The red cloth on the silver plate was lifted, and immediately, a fishy stench spread out. Many people in front of the hall frowned. Some covered their mouths, looking as if they were about to vomit. ¡°So smelly. What is this thing?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. This smell is so disgusting. Who put it up for auction? Can this be considered a treasure?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t say. This is really a treasure. I can feel an extremely terrifying energy.¡± Someone with sharp spiritual senses sensed the abnormal energy in the silver plate. Chapter 431 - Blood At this moment, people realized that the silver plate held by the maid on the stage was engraved with special runes, which were suppressing this energy. If not for this, the maid, who was only at the spirit gathering realm, would have been directly shocked to death by this energy. ¡°This thing is also sent for auction. According to the seller, this thing is blood mark mud, which is refined from a lot of blood essence.¡± ¡°As for the effect, no matter who it is, as long as they consume it, they will have the strength of a sixth sky of the Nirvana Realm.¡± ¡°The seller said that there are no side effects, but I don¡¯t think so. According to my examination, this blood-mark mud is refined from the blood essence of hundreds of demonic beasts. The bloody smell is too strong.¡± ¡°If you consume it, it may cause problems with the origin. Whether you want to buy it or not, you are free to do so.¡± When he said this, he was already prepared to be hated by the seller. After all, he planned to continue with the Yue Xuan Auction this time. He would not do something like tarnish his reputation anymore. ¡°Vice Palace Master, aren¡¯t you going a little too far by saying this?¡± In the hall, a black-robed man stood up and said angrily. He didn¡¯t conceal it and indicated that he was the seller, and he released his own aura. ¡°Sixth sky of the Nirvana Realm.¡± Everyone was shocked, because they sensed a strange aura from this person¡¯s body. It was obvious that this person had consumed the blood mark mud, and his strength had soared to the sixth sky of the Nirvana realm. This was a level that normal people wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate to in their entire lives. If the side effects weren¡¯t too big, this blood-mark mud would definitely be auctioned off for an astronomical price. However, he didn¡¯t know what the price of consuming the blood-mark mud was. ¡°Sir, you said that this blood mark mud doesn¡¯t have any side effects. Can you guarantee that?¡± In the hall, an elder stood up and asked. His lifespan was almost up. If he could break through to the sixth sky of the Nirvana Realm, it would be a good thing for him. As long as the price wasn¡¯t too high, he didn¡¯t mind. ¡°Of course, you can. As long as you take it, there won¡¯t be any side effects.¡± That person said resolutely, extremely confident in his own blood-mark mud. Seeing this, Lin Mo looked at the blood-mark mud on the silver plate and raised his hand to store it in the system space. This operation made everyone confused. They really wanted to know what Lin Mo wanted to do? ¡°Vice Palace Master, what do you mean by this? Don¡¯t tell me that the Purple Moon Palace doesn¡¯t have its own appraiser? If they can¡¯t see the treasure, they won¡¯t sell it, right?¡± The old man said angrily. At this moment, he had the right to speak confidently. ¡°Calm down. It¡¯s just some normal appraisal methods.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, signaling for everyone to calm down. It was Qiluo who was appraising the treasure. After all, she didn¡¯t have the help of the system, so it was inevitable that she would make some mistakes. After the blood-mark mud was stored in the system space, the voice of appraisal could be heard. ¡°Spirit grade ninth tier, blood-mark mud. It is refined from the blood essence of a hundred demonic beasts. It contains a bloody and murderous aura. After consuming it, one will break through to the sixth heaven of the Nirvana realm. One only has ten years left in their lifespan. They are afraid of the Fire Dao.¡± ¡°After ten years, the power of the murderous aura will backfire. Only immortal-foundation experts can save them.¡± After hearing the system¡¯s words, Lin Mo frowned. Indeed, there was no power that came out of nowhere. The backfire was too terrifying. In addition, this kind of backlash was something that only immortal-foundation experts could save. This was basically a dead end. It was basically impossible to break it. There were no immortal-foundation experts in the eastern continent. ¡°Sir, the side effects of this blood mark mud are extremely great. Not only do you only have ten years left, you are also afraid of Dao Fire. Do you really think you can hide it from me?¡±Lin Mo coldly spoke. As he spoke, the Phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared behind him. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame burned fiercely, causing the temperature here to continue rising. ¡°Sir, do you dare to try?¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo waved his hand, and the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame flew out, flying towards that person. This terrifying temperature caused everyone to make a path. ¡°You¡­¡± That old man was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to actually make a move to probe. He hurriedly retreated, avoiding the burning of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame. ¡°Sir, why do you want to dodge? You¡¯re at the sixth sky of the Nirvana stage, why do you want to dodge an attack from my first sky?¡± Lin Mo smiled. The truth was right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong, so naturally, they would not say anything. ¡°Alright, the auction continues. I¡¯ve already explained the side effects of the blood-mark mud. This item is at the ninth level of the spirit rank. Those who are interested can auction for it.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. ¡°The starting price is six million. Each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand.¡± After a period of silence, someone finally spoke up. Most of them were mercenaries from the various God dynasties. Compared to their lives, they wanted power more. Hence, to them, the only side effect was fear of Fire Dao. However, as long as they didn¡¯t provoke fire attribute demonic beasts, the problem wasn¡¯t too big. ¡°Six million five hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Seven million.¡± In the end, the bidding stopped at 7.5 million. It was bid away by an old mercenary, and he wanted to make a trade with Lin Mo. ¡°A trade on the spot is naturally not a problem.¡± Lin Mo nodded, took the spirit stone that the old mercenary handed over, and passed the blood mark mud to him. This old mercenary had just received the blood-mark mud, and he couldn¡¯t wait to swallow it. In the next moment, his body emitted countless rays of blood light, and fresh blood flowed out from his skin. This strange situation caused everyone to be greatly shocked, and they were somewhat worried that this force wouldn¡¯t be able to be controlled. ¡°What are you nervous about? This is only the premonition of advancing quickly.¡± In the private room in front, Jiang Long¡¯s voice sounded. Although it was cold, it also made everyone feel at ease. With an expert at the Ninth Sky of the Nirvana Realm guarding it, there was naturally no need to worry about anything. After this strange thought continued for a period of time, the old mercenary walked out from the blood light. The blood energy contained in the blood mark mud had been completely absorbed by him. ¡°He really broke through.¡± Some people were shocked as they looked at the old man who walked out. This was too unbelievable. He was just a mercenary who had just broken through to the Nirvana Realm. They didn¡¯t expect that he had already reached the sixth sky of the Nirvana Realm. This kind of increase in strength made everyone envious. To be able to obtain such powerful strength and only have ten years left in his life, perhaps it wasn¡¯t impossible. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 9 spirit grade blood-mark mud ] [ successful departure, 4,000 times the auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the rank 1 earth rank blood mark mud ] Lin Mo looked at the system¡¯s introduction. The so-called blood-fiend mud was an upgraded version of the blood mark mud. As long as one consumed it, one would be able to break through to the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. Of course, the side effects were the same. One would have a lifespan of 10 years and be afraid of Dao Fire. Apart from that, there was another additional benefit. After eight years, one would automatically advance to the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. Although he only had two years left to use this power, it was still not bad. He would be able to experience the realm of the strongest person in the east. ¡°The auction continues.¡± Lin Mo continued to host the auction. One item after another was auctioned off from his hands, and he also obtained one treasure after another. At the same time, he also obtained quite a number of spirit stones. In a short period of time, it was enough for Purple Moon Palace to cultivate. ¡°Alright, there are only four treasures left. However, these are all earth grade treasures. Everyone, don¡¯t miss out on them.¡± The auction continued until late into the night. Lin Mo only spoke after dropping his hammer once. Chapter 432 - Sacred Flame Spear This time, they had earned more than one billion mid-tier spirit stones, which was enough to cover the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s expenses for over a year. ¡°Finally, an earth-rank treasure! This is great! I can¡¯t wait any longer!¡± Zhen Gu was the first to walk out of the private room. At the same time, some people walked out from the other private rooms as well. They all wanted an earth grade treasure. When the people in the hall saw this, their fiery hearts instantly turned cold, including the people in the other private rooms. That¡¯s right. Although earth-grade treasures were precious, they still depended on who would participate in the auction. Right now, there were already four great divine empires and the Divine Secrets Holy Land. There weren¡¯t even enough earth-grade treasures, so how could it be their turn. ¡°Sigh, let¡¯s just watch the show. Being able to witness the auction of earth-grade treasures isn¡¯t considered a loss.¡± Someone sighed and adjusted his state of mind. He focused his attention on Lin Mo. what was next was the battle between these major powers. With their wealth and strength, they didn¡¯t have the qualifications to participate. ¡°Next, let¡¯s welcome the first earth-rank auction item, the flame god spear. This is an earth grade tier one magic weapon, a long spear. It was the spoils of war from the founding of the Purple Moon Palace.¡± ¡°Looks like everyone needs it. Then, I won¡¯t waste any more time. The starting price is 10 million. The highest bidder will get it.¡± Lin Mo smiled as the auction began. ¡°Everyone, give me some face. I¡¯ll bid 10 million. Don¡¯t compete with me.¡± Just as Lin Mo announced the start of the auction, Jiang Long spoke up. He bid 10 million, wanting to auction off the Yan Huang Divine Empire¡¯s nation-protecting magic weapon at a low price. ¡°This¡­¡± As soon as he said this, the crowd fell silent. Many people wanted to participate in the bidding, but due to Jiang Long¡¯s existence, they couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Forget it. Since senior Jiang Long wants it, I won¡¯t fight for it.¡± The third princess of the Great Ancient Divine Empire, Gu Luo, was the first to open her mouth and give up on the competition for the flame divine spear. There was no grudge between the two divine dynasties, so there was no need to offend them. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll give up as well.¡± The Crown Prince of Lu Jin dynasty waved his hand. He was also giving up the competition, as he didn¡¯t want to offend Jiang Long. As for Saintess Xia You, she had a good relationship with the Yanhuang Divine Empireto begin with. Last time, when they attacked Purple Moon Palace, she had also participated in the battle. Naturally, she wouldn¡¯t participate in the competition at this moment. Everyone¡¯s eyes were looking to the other side. That was the position of the fifth Prince of Great Yan Divine Empire, Zhen Gu. Zhen Gu was the only one who had yet to make a statement. Even Lin Mo was staring at Zhen Gu. He was a little anxious, and he really wanted to ask Zhen Gu to give up the competition through voice transmission. If he did that, he would be auctioning at a loss. The system had a wealth of knowledge and experience in rebating profits. Perhaps, it could give him a fifth tier earth grade magical artifact, or even a higher magical artifact. ¡°I can only hope that Zhen Gu will give up as well¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Gu raised his head and said, ¡°Since you all don¡¯t want it, then I won¡¯t stand on ceremony. It just so happens that I need a magical artifact that I can use.¡± ¡°Eleven million.¡± When Zhen Gu made his bid, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and soon after, the discussion spread out quietly. Was Great Yan Divine Empire planning to completely break their neutral position and lead them to Purple Moon Palace? That was an expert at the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana realm, and he had offended him just like that. ¡°Good, good¡­ good, a talented person will emerge in every generation, the younger generation will be more formidable.¡± Jiang long said a few good words in a row, then gave Zhen Gu and Lin Mo a cold glance. ¡°Fifteen million middle-grade energy stones.¡± ¡°Sixteen million middle-grade energy stones.¡± It was the same thing again. Every time he increased the price, Zhen Gu would only increase the price by one million. It was not a large amount, but it was not a small amount either. However, it was precisely this one million that made Jiang Long very angry. ¡°What the hell¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. He was still thinking of asking the system to give him a rebate, but in the end, Zhen Gu directly increased the price for him. ¡°Twenty million.¡± ¡°Young man from Great Yan Divine Empire, do you really think that I don¡¯t dare to touch you?¡± Jiang Long said angrily. He did not know whether Zhen Gu really wanted it or deliberately increased the price, but at this moment, he only felt aggrieved. A mighty ninth sky of the Nirvana realm expert was actually being restrained everywhere here. It was really too aggrieved. ¡°Cough cough, anyone who comes to participate in the Yue Xuan auction will be protected by the Purple Moon Palace in hailing city. Senior Jiang Long, please have some self-respect.¡± Lin Mo spoke at the right time. He was really afraid that Jiang Long would slap Zhen Gu to death in anger. He had the earth grade talisman in his hand, so he could escape, but Zhen gu obviously couldn¡¯t. If Jiang Long really made a move, Zhen Gu would die without a doubt. ¡°Senior Jiang Long, you¡¯re exaggerating. The flame divine spear is an earth grade spiritual artifact. Who Wouldn¡¯t want it? This junior is competing reasonably.¡± Zhen Gu quickly said, knowing that this couldn¡¯t go on. ¡°How about this? This junior offers eighty million middle-grade spiritual stones. If senior can offer a higher price, then this junior will admit defeat.¡± As he spoke, he bowed to Jiang Long and put him in the wrong with just a few words. If Jiang Long still threatened him, then he would be bullying the younger generation. On the other hand, people would think that Zhen Gu was the one who was forced to back down. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bid 81 million.¡± Jiang long said coldly. 80 million middle-grade spirit stones was about the same price as an earth grade first-grade Dharma artifact. However, it would be even higher in the eastern continent. As it was too precious, no power would release it for auction. Although Zhen Gu didn¡¯t want to give up, he could only do so. Jiang Long¡¯s strength was obvious. Even though Lin Mo said that he would protect him, and he had the purple spirit guards to intimidate him, the end result would probably be that the army would heavily injure Jiang Long¡­ ¡°81 million going once.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Deal. Congratulations, senior Jiang Long, for successfully bidding for the earth grade tier 1 divine flame spear.¡± Lin Mo knocked down the auction hammer. The value of an Earth rank magic weapon was really high, 81 million. It seemed that he would have to consider this type of magic weapon for the finale of the next auction. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully bidding for the Earth rank 1 divine flame spear. ] [ successfully triggered 7,000 times the profit from the auction. ] ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth rank 4 Divine Flame Spear.¡± In the system space, a long spear burning with scarlet flames appeared. Lin Mo used his spiritual sense to probe and discovered that this long spear contained incomparably terrifying fire dao principles. This level of power was even more powerful than what he could control. Only the purest fire attribute experts could use it. ¡°I can give it to Lil¡¯ Die, then I¡¯ll give the radiant sun spear to Aunty¡­¡± Lin Mo calculated in his heart that the best owner of the Sacred Fire Spear would definitely be Lil¡¯ Die. No one else would be able to display their true strength. ¡°Junior, this old man wants to trade on the spot.¡± While Lin Mo was thinking, Jiang Long¡¯s voice rang out, filled with anger. Spending 81 million to buy back his nation-protecting magical artifact, what else could be more infuriating than this? ¡°Live transaction, alright. Then the next earth grade treasure shall be traded on the spot.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. After counting the spirit stones that Jiang Long had thrown over, Lin Mo straightforwardly threw the flame divine spear to him. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s invite the next item up for auction, the Earth grade first rank spear art. This item is also from the monolith forbidden ground, recorded on a stone tablet.¡± ¡°This item is a little tattered and can only be viewed once. After viewing it, the runes on it will dissipate.¡± ¡°Therefore, after you auction it, bring it back to your elders for them to examine. After that, have them carve out the runes.¡± Lin Mo reminded them. Jiang Xiyue and the other two wanted to learn an earth grade 1 spear art martial art. However, there was only one book, so Lin Mo decided to auction it. Chapter 433 - Dragon King’s Destruction and Heaven They would be able to learn the martial arts that were given back to them after the auction. Unfortunately, there were many treasures in the monolith forbidden ground, as well as many cultivation techniques and martial arts. Only sword techniques were rare. Lin Mo searched for a long time, but in the end, he only found a broken sword manual. A maid walked up and dragged a silver plate. A one-foot-tall stone tablet appeared in front of everyone. ¡°Because I haven¡¯t looked at this martial art manual before, I can¡¯t introduce it. I only know its grade.¡± ¡°The starting price will be fifty million middle-grade spirit stones to avoid trouble. Each increment must not be less than one million. ¡°Now, let the auction begin.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Luo placed a bid and said, ¡°55,000,000 spirit stones. My ancestor is a spear practitioner. It¡¯s a good opportunity to bring it back.¡± She was pleasantly surprised. This spear art had already been written in Lin Mo¡¯s invitation letter. This was the reason why she had come to participate in the auction. ¡°Hehe, earth grade martial arts. We are also coveting it.¡± Saintess Xia You opened her mouth and said, ¡°60 million. Sister Gu Luo, Don¡¯t blame me. I¡¯m afraid that I can¡¯t let go of this spear technique.¡± ¡°Sister Xia You, what are you saying? In the auction, everyone relies on their own abilities. How could you blame me?¡± Gu Luo wasn¡¯t angry either. After Saintess Xia You¡¯s bid, she raised another bid of 70 million. The two of them competed against each other, neither giving way to the other. In the blink of an eye, the price had already been raised to 80 million. At this time, the two of them were not jumping up the price, but only increasing it by 1,000,000 and 1,000,000. ¡°Hehe, sister Gu Luo seems to have brought enough capital. Then I won¡¯t snatch it. I¡¯ll give it to sister.¡± When the price reached 85,000,000, Saintess Xia You frowned and then sighed. This price was a little out of her expectations. It would not be worth it if they continued to fight. ¡°Thank you, Sister Xia You.¡± After the battle between the two ended, everyone in the hall was full of praises. The two top beauties of the eastern continent wanted to fight, but it was a different style. At least the battle with Zhen Gu and Jiang Long would be more interesting. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to Princess Gu Luo for successfully bidding for this martial arts book.¡± Lin Mo nodded with a smile. 85 million, even higher than before. He just didn¡¯t know what the system would reward him with. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully bidding for the Earth Class Rank 1 martial art, Rainbow Pierce ] [ Successfully triggering the 4,000 times auction reward ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Earth class rank 3 martial art, Dragon King Breakthrough ] A spear-type martial art. Of course, it could be used without learning the spear, but its power would probably be reduced by more than half. ¡°Very good, there aren¡¯t any restrictions on the attributes. The three of them can learn it, and Auntie can also¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. This result was pretty good, and he didn¡¯t know if the next item would satisfy him. ¡°The next item is still an earth grade martial art. Its condition is the same as the previous one, and it can only be checked once.¡± After completing the transaction with Gu Luo, Lin Mo waved his hand, and another maid came up with a silver plate. The stone tablet on the silver plate stood erect, emitting a mysterious aura. ¡°This is a sword technique martial art. I¡¯ve never seen it before, so I won¡¯t introduce it. The starting price is 50 million. Does anyone want to bid?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He was also very eager for sword techniques and martial arts. However, he had the incomplete technique of an ancient divine beast, so his requirements for martial arts were very high. He really didn¡¯t have any interest in spirit grade martial arts. Only earth grade martial arts could barely compare to the incomplete technique of an ancient divine beast. Only then could they catch his eye. ¡°It¡¯s actually an earth grade sword technique.¡± Everyone was shocked. At the same time, they were somewhat puzzled. Wasn¡¯t Lin Mo also a sword cultivator? Why didn¡¯t he cultivate it himself? Could it be that he was willing to give up an earth grade martial art for the sake of the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s development? He wanted to earn spirit stones to support the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. The Purple Moon Palace took away all the treasures in the monolith forbidden land, so it doesn¡¯t necessarily lack spirit stones.¡± Someone shook his head and had a different opinion. ¡°Fellow Daoist, tell me, what¡¯s the reason?¡± Someone asked curiously. ¡°You didn¡¯t come to watch the ceremony that day. During the battle to establish the Purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo used at least three incomplete ancient divine beast techniques.¡± ¡°Even if those top-tier techniques were incomplete, their power shouldn¡¯t be underestimated.¡± ¡°Therefore, I think Lin Mo probably doesn¡¯t like this earth-grade sword technique.¡± Everyone in the hall discussed. This information wasn¡¯t a secret. The matter of Lin Mo controlling the incomplete ancient divine beast technique had long since spread like wildfire. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t talk about this kind of thing. Let¡¯s watch the auction.¡± A few minutes later, the hall quieted down. Lin Mo saw that the atmosphere was almost done, so he dropped his hammer and started the auction. ¡°This is not bad. This crown prince will take it.¡± The crown prince of the Lu Jin dynasty, who had never placed a bid, placed a bid. Sword techniques and martial arts were just right for him to cultivate. However, Lin Mo didn¡¯t think highly of this person. After all, Saintess Xia You cultivated sword techniques. Lin Mo had seen her sword techniques a few times, and no one in the same realm could compare to her. Even Lin Mo admitted defeat. He was inferior to her in terms of understanding sword techniques. ¡°80 million. I¡¯m sorry, but I won¡¯t give up on this sword technique.¡±Saintess Xia You smiled. She raised the price to 80 million right after bidding, which made many people gasp in admiration. ¡°80 million once. Your highness, the crown prince of the Lu Jin dynasty, do you still want to bid?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Today was a good harvest. ¡°85 million. Of course I want to participate.¡± The crown prince of the Lu Jin dynasty raised the bid by 5 million. He did not give in at all and fought with Saintess Xia You for the sword technique martial arts. ¡°Then, 90 million.¡± Saintess Xia You said with a calm expression. 90 million. If he continued to raise the bid, it would far exceed the value of earth grade martial arts. Lin Mo was delighted. He could not wait for the crown prince of the Lu Jin dynasty to raise the bid to 100 million middle-grade spirit stones¡­ Although this wasn¡¯t realistic, an earth rank 1 martial art shouldn¡¯t be auctioned off at such a high price. Just as Lin Mo had expected, the crown prince of the Lu JinDivine Empire gave up after raising the price once. In the end, this martial art was sold to Saintess Xia You for 92 million. Everyone in the hall was shocked. There weren¡¯t many transactions of such a huge amount of spirit stones in the entire eastern continent. Moreover, no faction in the eastern continent would be willing to auction off an earth grade treasure. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to Saintess Xia You for successfully auctioning off a sword technique martial art.¡± Lin Mo nodded, very satisfied with this price. 92 million mid-grade spirit stones had been obtained, and under everyone¡¯s burning gazes, this stone tablet had also been taken by Saintess Xia You. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off an earth rank 1 sword technique martial art, ¡®wind and dust sword qi¡¯] [You have successfully triggered the 4,000 times auction return profit.] [Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth rank 3 sword technique, ¡®Heaven cleaving sword qi¡¯.] ¡°Earth rank 3 martial technique. It doesn¡¯t have any requirements for attributes. That¡¯s great.¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but feel excited. Such a top-notch sword technique wasn¡¯t just ordinary in the eastern continent, even in other continents. ¡°Thank you for your support. Next, it¡¯s time for the highlight of the day, the final treasure.¡± After calming himself down, Lin Mo raised his head and called for the last handmaiden under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes. In the handmaiden¡¯s hand was a suet jade bottle. The jade bottle was emitting a faint fragrance. ¡°What is this? Is it a spirit medicine?¡± Chapter 434 - The Immortal Spring Some people were curious as to what kind of spirit medicine could be used by Lin Mo as the finale. Could it be of a higher grade? However, as everyone knew, for treasures of the same grade, cultivation techniques were the most important, followed by martial arts and magic tools, followed by spirit pills, and finally, spirit medicines and some materials. For a spirit medicine to be kept as the finale, could it be of earth rank 3? While everyone was thinking about it, Lin Mo took the suet jade bottle from the maid. ¡°This is a spiritual medicine. You¡¯ve guessed it, right? Its rank isn¡¯t low.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they didn¡¯t have a suitable person to refine it, Jiang Xiyue and the others wouldn¡¯t have agreed to let Lin Mo auction it. ¡°This suet jade bottle contains a kind of spiritual spring. This kind of spring water is extremely mysterious. It¡¯s called the immortal spring.¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s the legendary immortal spring?¡± Everyone was shocked and stood up one after another. Some people almost couldn¡¯t help but attack and wanted to rush forward to snatch it. ¡°Brother Lin, are you serious?¡± Saintess Xia You stood up and said. The Immortal Spring was a precious treasure that countless forces wanted. ¡°That¡¯s right. It comes from the rock forbidden land. The immortal spring is tier 5 earth grade. However, its starting price is a bit expensive.¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. He had quite a few immortal springs. As for their effects, there was only one. They could reset one¡¯s life, allowing one to return to their youth. Their strength didn¡¯t change, their lifespan reset, their talent returned, everything returned to their peak, allowing them to continue cultivating. ¡°The immortal spring can only be used by experts below the immortal foundation. However, I believe that there shouldn¡¯t be such a restriction in the eastern continent.¡± Lin Mo spoke. Back then when they counted the spoils of war and found a pool of the immortal spring, even Bai Luo couldn¡¯t help but to exclaim in admiration. To the various powers in the eastern continent, this immortal spring was simply too important. Whoever could obtain it would be able to allow their ancestor to return to his youth. With the ninth level of the Nirvana realm as the starting point, there might be a chance for him to ascend to immortal-foundation. Once someone took that step, the situation in the eastern continent would completely change. ¡°Lin Mo, say the price. No matter how high the price is, I can afford it.¡± Jiang Long walked out from the private room. Originally, he didn¡¯t want to participate in the competition, but he didn¡¯t expect Lin Mo to throw out a heavy bomb in the end. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this immortal spring is priceless. The auction method has changed.¡± Lin Mo motioned for everyone to calm down. At the same time, a terrifying battle intent erupted in the sky above Hailing city. A powerful pressure descended, suppressing everyone until they couldn¡¯t breathe. The only one who could escape was JiangLong, but even so, he still used all his strength to resist. That was why he didn¡¯t make a fool of himself. ¡°Brother Lin, please stop. We are all witnesses to this auction. Naturally, we won¡¯t allow anyone to cause trouble.¡± Saintess Xia You said. The pressure was comparable to the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm. No matter how stunning she was, she couldn¡¯t resist it. She had talent and methods, but she was still young, so she wasn¡¯t enough to resist the ninth sky of the NirvanaRealm. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s just some small means of deterrence. Please forgive me. Today, Hailing city forbids fighting. Otherwise, when the army comes, we will kill without mercy.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly, and then his tone gradually became cold as he said each word. After saying this, Lin Mo opened his mouth and whispered a few words. A moment later, the terrifying pressure dissipated, and everyone seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. Some of the weaker ones even collapsed onto the ground, cold sweat dripping from their bodies. ¡°This is too terrifying. Is this the foundation of the Purple Moon Palace?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. From today onwards, who will dare to cause trouble again?¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Our safety has been guaranteed when we participate in the auction, so we can come more often in the future.¡± Quite a few people spoke up. After knowing that Lin Mo was only intimidated, they were no longer afraid. On the contrary, they were discussing the strength of the Purple Moon Palace. Among the people present, only Jiang Long¡¯s expression was unsightly and extremely gloomy. He had indeed thought about it earlier. At such a close distance, he would be able to escape unscathed even if he snatched away the immortal spring and the Spirit Stones on Lin Mo¡¯s body. As for the Purple Spirit Guards¡¯pursuit, a thousand-man army wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up with the speed of a ninth firmament Nirvana realm. This was the weakness of the army, and it was difficult to make up for it. However, Lin Mo was already prepared. If he really made a move, the purple spirit guards outside would instantly make a move. He didn¡¯t dare to gamble. Putting his life on the line wouldn¡¯t make up for the loss. ¡°Brother Lin, how do you plan to sell this immortal spring?¡± Zhen Gu asked. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He thought that he still had some status in Lin Mo¡¯s place, and it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to write a letter of credit. At most, he wouldn¡¯t take the immortal spring with him. He would go back and find the patriarch to bring spirit stones. ¡°All of you, go on stage separately. Send a voice transmission to tell me what price you¡¯re willing to pay. I¡¯ll choose one person to sell.¡± ¡°For safety reasons, I won¡¯t tell you who I¡¯ve chosen. However, after that person safely returns to his or her own faction, he or she must publicly announce the ownership of the Immortal Spring.¡± Lin Mo continued speaking, explaining some of the rules while looking at Jiang long at the same time. ¡°Senior, please forgive me. If you want to make a bid, let the second prince come up and say the price.¡± In order to avoid being ambushed by Jiang Long, he didn¡¯t dare to let the other party come up. In fact, even if he had an earth grade talisman, at such a close distance, he really didn¡¯t have the confidence to escape. Safety was the most important thing. It was better to be safe. ¡°En, this idea isn¡¯t bad. Who Wants to make a bid first?¡± Saintess Xia You nodded and looked at the crowd, not wanting to be the first to go out. ¡°Then I¡¯ll do it.¡± Zhen Gu was the first to step out. He flew onto the auction stage and came in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin, our relationship isn¡¯t bad, right? Sell this immortal spring to me. You can name the price. I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones, so I can owe it to you first.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have to take the immortal spring with me first. When I go back, I¡¯ll call my patriarch to come and get it.¡± After Zhen Gu finished speaking, he didn¡¯t wait for Lin Mo to say anything more. He walked off the auction stage and left. He had already done what he could. The next step was to see if Lin Mo was willing to sell it to him. ¡°It¡¯s my turn now.¡± The Crown Prince of the Lu Jin Divine Empire stood up and walked in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, something has happened to the Lu Jin Divine Empire recently, and the spirit stones aren¡¯t enough. If you¡¯re willing, I can give you 100 million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°Apart from that, there¡¯s also an earth rank 2 cultivation technique. Of course, you can¡¯t teach it to others.¡± This condition was very good. However, compared to Zhen Gu¡¯s condition, it was still not very good. Lin Mo preferred to have more spirit stones. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll consider it.¡± After giving a reply, the crown prince of the Lu Jin dynasty left. Then, Princess Gu Luo walked up. ¡°Brother Lin, the Great Ancient Divine Empire broke open a forbidden land some time ago and found third tier earth grade spirit herb, three stalks of snow worry spirit flower.¡± ¡°I can give you two stalks. These spiritual herbs are extremely rare and can increase a person¡¯s talent. You and Jiang Xiyue can take them.¡± ¡°In addition, I can also add 50 million middle-grade spiritual stones.¡± It was still an extremely high price, which surprised Lin Mo. with two stalks of the snow worry spiritual flower and 50 million middle-grade spiritual stones. Lin Mo was indeed moved. ¡°I¡¯m very moved. Princess Gu Luo, do stay in Hailing city for a few days, I¡¯ll give you an answer.¡± After sending off Princess Gu Luo, the second prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire hurried over. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lin Mo. ¡°Shut up, I¡¯ll never sell it to you in the first place. Scram.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was cold as he transmitted his voice, telling the second prince to scram. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡­¡± the second prince dared to be angry but didn¡¯t dare to speak. After meeting Lin Mo¡¯s cold gaze, he hurriedly flew down. ¡°Now it¡¯s my turn¡­¡± Chapter 435 - Immortal Ascension Pill When everyone had left, Saintess Xia You slowly walked up and looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Saintess, do you have something to say?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had specially waited for everyone to leave before coming. Why was this? ¡°Lin Mo, if I were to invite all of you to join the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, would you be willing?¡± Saintess XiaYou sighed. At this moment, she felt a little regretful. Back then, when Lin Mo and the others were in danger in the imperial city, she wasn¡¯t able to lend a helping hand. Even when she knew the news, she didn¡¯t reveal it. A few days ago, she had even helped the Yanhuang Divine Empire deal with the Purple Moon Palace. These few moves were too stinky. ¡°Saintess, isn¡¯t it a little too late to say this now?¡± Lin Mo shook his head and rejected Saintess Xia You¡¯s invitation. ¡°Do you still want the immortal spring? Make a bid. I¡¯m currently quite interested in Princess Gu Luo¡¯s price.¡± He reminded her and asked her to make a bid quickly. He wanted to discuss with someone whether Zhen Gu¡¯s conditions should be agreed to. Selling an additional portion of the immortal spring wasn¡¯t a big deal to them, but there might be a lot of trouble in the future. ¡°Then I¡¯ll make an earth grade fourth rank spirit pill as an apology for what happened before,¡± said Saintess Xia You. Now, she was no longer willing to be Lin Mo¡¯s enemy. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t any big grudges between the two sides until now. ¡°What kind of spirit pill is it?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. She could even take out a tier four earth grade spirit pill. Saintess Xia You was really generous. ¡°The Immortal Pill, only eighth-sky Nirvana Realm experts can take it. As the name suggests, it can cast the foundation of Immortal Ascension.¡± ¡°The user can directly break through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm without any sequelae. Moreover, the success rate will increase by 10% during the immortal ascension process in the future.¡± This was an extremely heaven-defying spirit pill. It came from a forbidden land, and even the divine secrets sacred land only had a few pills. Being able to take out one was already her greatest concession. ¡°However, I have a condition. This immortal pill, we can only give it to you when you consume it.¡± ¡°I can use my dao heart to swear that I will give you the spirit pill when you reach the eighth sky of the Nirvana Realm. I won¡¯t make a move against you because of this,¡± Saintess Xia You said. The Immortal Ascension Pill was too important. Lin Mo still had to publicly announce the contents of the transaction, so he couldn¡¯t give it out in advance. ¡°There¡¯s no need to do this. Bring the Immortal Ascension Pill over. We have people here who can consume it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He wasn¡¯t willing to wait. However, it was a pity that he couldn¡¯t auction the Immortal Ascension Pill. If not, a treasure with a rebate might be able to allow someone to directly ascend to immortality. ¡°You¡¯re not keeping it for yourself to consume?¡± Holy Maiden Xia You was stunned as she stared at Lin Mo. ¡°No, the Purple Moon Palace is currently in dire need of a ninth-level Nirvana realm expert. That¡¯s why I chose the Immortal Ascension Pill. When you guys bring the spirit pills over, we can trade.¡± Lin Mo smiled. In his conversation with Saintess Xia you, he faintly indicated whether he could auction the Immortal Ascension Pill. Even if he let Saintess Xia You auction it away, it wasn¡¯t impossible. ¡°Absolutely not, brother Lin. You don¡¯t know how many experts are hidden in the eastern continent. An army isn¡¯t invincible.¡± Saintess Xia You shook her head. There had been rumors about the immortal ascension pill in the past. However, due to the strength of the Divine Secrets Holy Land, no one dared to make any moves. However, the Purple Moon Palace was different. They didn¡¯t even set up a protective array. If the news of the Immortal Ascension Pill was leaked, it would be a disaster. ¡°How many ninth-sky Nirvana Realm experts are there in the eastern continent?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°There are more than five people in the Divine Secrets Holy Land. I know very little about the rest. Please keep it a secret, brother Lin.¡± After saying this, Saintess Xia You turned around and left. She wanted to send the news back while bringing people to deliver the immortal ascension pill. This was a very important piece of news. It was very important to Lin Mo. If there were more than five people in the sacred land of divine secrets, then even if the Yan Huang Divine Empire didn¡¯t have enough people, they would have at least three. If they worked together, it would be very difficult for the Purple Moon Palace to stop them. ¡°I have to go back and discuss it.¡± Lin Mo sighed and left. At this moment, all kinds of buildings were being built in the Purple Moon Palace, and the scale was getting larger and larger. In the main hall, Jiang Xiyue and Lin Mo sat at the head, and below them sat all the high-level officials of the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Immortal Ascension Pill. If there¡¯s such a spirit pill, it¡¯s better to give it to the palace master. This way, her talent won¡¯t be any weaker than Saintess Xia You¡¯s.¡± Luo Haoyu said. He had drunk the immortal spring and his talent had returned to its peak. In addition, Lin Mo had brought so many resources. It would not be a problem for him to break through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm in the next few years. Qiluo¡¯s situation was similar. She was less than 40 years old and could break through without using the immortal spring. Therefore, This Immortal Ascension Pill was best for Jiang Xiyue.Lin Mo had a devourer body, the spirit pill to increase his cultivation was useless to him. ¡°It¡¯s best not to. The Immortal Ascension platform is a very important step. It¡¯s best not to use the spirit pill.¡± At this moment, Bai Luo spoke. She was from another continent, so she had the most say in this aspect. ¡°As for the snow worry spirit flower, you can keep this. Lin Mo won¡¯t need it, but Lil Die and Xiyue can use it.¡± No matter how there were no side effects from using the spirit pill to directly increase her strength, her foundation was still not as solid as her own cultivation. Jiang Xiyue had her own talent and could reach this step in the future, so she did not need panaceas. ¡°Then give it to Qiluo. I still don¡¯t have a suitable earth grade magic tool. Qiluo has the sun spear, so her combat strength is a little stronger.¡± Luo Haoyu agreed with Bai Luo¡¯s words, but he still gave up the Immortal Ascension Pill. Perhaps due to his obsession, he had been stuck at the eighth sky of the Nirvana Realm for more than half of his life and had a knot in his heart. Now that he had obtained the immortal spring, he had always wanted to break through with his own cultivation efforts. ¡°Give it to me? That¡¯s not good¡­¡± Qi Luo was at a loss when she saw that the immortal elixir belonged to her. She had never seen such a heaven-defying elixir before. ¡°Aunt, please accept it. Our Purple Moon Palace still needs you to oversee things.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded. This was how the immortal elixir should be distributed. In a few years, the Purple Moon Palace would have two experts at the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm. At that time, the Yanhuang Divine Empire would have nothing to fear. ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll take advantage of you two juniors.¡± Qiluo smiled and agreed. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it to aunt. One more question. We have a pond of the immortal spring. We can sell another bottle to princess gu Luo of the Great Ancient Divine Empire.¡± Lin Mo said. He was very interested in the snow worry spiritual flower. This kind of spiritual medicine that could improve one¡¯s talent was very helpful. ¡°Lin Mo, at this time, we have to consider not only the benefits, but also the favor.¡± Luo Haoyu smiled and said, maintaining a different view. ¡°Elder Luo, please speak.¡± Lin Mo said. Seeing that everyone¡¯s gazes were on him, Luo Haoyu smiled and analyzed. ¡°Selling it to the Divine Secrets Holy Land is because of the benefits is fine, but two snow worry spiritual flowers and 50 million middle-grade spirit stones isn¡¯t too good.¡± ¡°Although we are tempted, if we really sell them, I¡¯m afraid the Devine Secrets Holy Land will have an objection.¡± Upon hearing that, Lin mo frowned and said, ¡°So, what elder Luo is trying to say is that he is negotiating the price with Princess Gu Luo?¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s the price. But, we have to ask the Great Ancient Divine Empire to tell the public that they will give us five stalks of snow worry spirit flowers and five hundred million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°As for the Great Yan Divine Empire, we can ask for some territory. Give us the territory from Longwan City to Hailing City.¡± Chapter 436 - Claiming Territory ¡°The price of the immortal spring is about the same as the immortal pill, so we can give him two bottles of the immortal spring as a way to befriend him. ¡°In this way, we can get some benefits and territory, and make the two great dynasties owe us a favor. At the same time, we won¡¯t make the Divine Secrets Holy Land Unhappy.¡± After Luo Haoyu finished speaking, Lin Mo and the others¡¯ eyes lit up with shock. As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. ¡°Elder Luo, this method of yours is amazing¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue praised. They did not lack the immortal spring. Four bottles of immortal spring had made the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s foothold smoother and smoother. With territories, they could further attack the Yanhuang Divine Empire. This was truly a method that could attack, retreat, and defend¡­ ¡°Not a bad idea.¡± Bai Luo could not help but nod. This was the best method. ¡°Haha, then I¡¯ll have to trouble the deputy palace master to make another trip.¡± Luo Haoyu stroked his beard and smiled. ¡°Then you guys continue to build the Purple Moon Palace. Leave the resource issue to me.¡± After the discussion, Lin Mo counted the spirit stones that he had obtained from the auction. ¡°Including our previous reserves, we have a total of 1,478,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. Not bad.¡± Looking at so many spirit stones, Lin Mo was shocked. This was only a portion. If all the treasures in the monolith forbidden ground could be sold, these spirit stones would double. ¡°Haha, we¡¯re going to become one of the top powers in the eastern continent. Lin Mo, you¡¯re amazing.¡± Jiang Xiyue was extremely excited. Her obsession was finally coming to an end. It was as if she was in a dream. As she said this, she hugged Lin Mo¡¯s arm and pressed her red lips onto Lin Mo¡¯s face under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze. ¡°Ahem, pay attention to the occasion.¡± The damask coughed lightly and woke up Jiang Xiyue, who had lost her composure. ¡°Eh, should we even it out? Let¡¯s do it here as well.¡± Lin Mo pointed at the other side of his face and smirked. Jiang Xiyue¡¯s pretty face turned red, especially when she saw the elders behind her looking at her. ¡°What are you all looking at? Haven¡¯t you seen it before?¡± She turned around and glared at everyone. All of a sudden, the elders lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything. ¡°Leave quickly. Go and make a deal with those people.¡± Jiang Xiyue pushed Lin Mo and urged her to leave as soon as possible. Then, she did not want to stay any longer and left the place as if she was running away. After leaving the treasury that Purple Moon Palace had just built, the purple spirit guards surrounded the place. Other than Palace Master Jiang Xiyue and Deputy Palace Master Lin Mo, no one was allowed to get close. Even Luo Haoyu and Qiluo had to hold their unique tokens in order to enter. After all, what was guarding here was the foundation of the Purple Moon Palace, all of its resources. In Hailing city, Lin Mo used the spirit-holding spell to conceal his aura. When he knocked on the door of princess Gu Luo¡¯s inn, the people inside were also shocked. The door opened. princess Gu Luo and her guards were on guard, looking at Lin Mo outside the door with vigilance. When she saw who it was, the vigilance in Princess Gu Luo¡¯s eyes turned into pleasant surprise, and she hurriedly invited Lin Mo in. ¡°Vice palace master, did you¡­ Agree?¡± Gu Luo said in pleasant surprise. Lin Mo coming over at this time should mean that he had agreed to her condition. Previously, when she heard from her subordinates that Saintess Xia You had directly left Hailing city, she thought that Lin Mo had agreed to her condition. ¡°After some discussion, I¡¯ve agreed to your conditions. However, when I need you to spread the news to the outside world, I want you say you gave me five stalks of snow worry spirit flowers and 500 million middle-grade spirit stones. Is that alright?¡±Lin Mo said. Only with such conditions could it be barely comparable to the Immortal Ascension Pill. Princess Gu Luo was stunned. The people in the room were also stunned. They didn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo would have such a request. ¡°Brother Lin, are you planning to sell more of the immortal spring in the future?¡± Gu Luo asked. He couldn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo would do this. ¡°Let me tell you the truth. I can¡¯t refuse the price that Saintess Xia You and Prince Zhen Gu offered. However, I¡¯m very interested in the snow worry spiritual flower. That¡¯s why I¡¯m doing this.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t give me five snow worry spiritual flowers either. However, if the price doesn¡¯t match the Divine Secrets Holy Land, it¡¯ll be a bit difficult for me.¡± Lin Mo said truthfully. It was just a lie. It wasn¡¯t anything difficult. ¡°I see. Then I¡¯ll have to thank the vice palace master. I¡¯ll go back now and ask the patriarchs to bring the snow worry spirit flowers over.¡± Gu Luo smiled and nodded. He poured a cup of tea for Lin Mo. the two of them exchanged a few simple words before Lin mo bade farewell and left. As soon as he walked out, he immediately headed towards Zhen Gu¡¯s Inn. At this moment, in the room, Zhen Gu was a little anxious. He didn¡¯t know if Lin Mo would agree to his conditions. If he agreed, what kind of request would he make¡­ ¡°Chen Wu, you¡¯re really patient. Aren¡¯t you anxious?¡± Zhen Gu looked at the man sitting cross-legged on the other side and felt a little helpless. ¡°That¡¯s weird. Lin Mo just came out of Princess Gu Luo¡¯s Inn, but when did he enter?¡± The man called Chen Wu frowned. ¡°What did you say?¡± Zhen Gu was shocked. According to his information, Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were dao partners. Excluding the reason why Lin Mo was a playboy, the only thing left was to trade the immortal spring¡­ ¡°Looks like your plan failed. Sigh, it seems like giving you two battle formations is his sincerity.¡± Chen Wu spread his hands and said gloatingly. ¡°Stop laughing at me. The immortal spring was bought for your master.¡± Zhen Gu frowned. What kind of conditions did princess Gu Luo give him? How could Lin Mo know that he couldn¡¯t afford it without even asking him? ¡°Lin Mo is here.¡± Suddenly, Chen Wu opened his mouth and looked outside the door. In the next moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhen Gu hurriedly opened the door and realized that it was indeed Lin Mo. he warmly invited him in. ¡°Lin Mo, nice to meet you.¡± Chen Wu stood up at this moment and cupped his fists towards Lin Mo. His strength was actually similar to Li Long¡¯s, but Li Long didn¡¯t have any resistance against Lin Mo. This surprised him, but at the same time, he was also extremely wary of Lin Mo. ¡°This must be Chen Wu from the Tianwu clan. I¡¯ve heard so much about you, I finally got to meet you.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. ¡°You must be joking.¡± Chen Wu smiled and then sat down at the side. At this moment, Zhen Gu said anxiously, ¡°Brother Lin, you know what my conditions are. Have you considered it?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯ve considered it. I just don¡¯t know if you can agree to my conditions.¡± Lin Mo said. The distance between Dragon Bay City and Hailing city was tens of thousands of miles. There were more than ten cities of different sizes. Although Dragon Bay City was an important city, it wasn¡¯t small either. There were three forbidden areas in it that were very extraordinary. ¡°This territory is the price of one bottle of the immortal spring. We can be considered friends, so I can take a loss. I¡¯ll give you two bottles of the immortal spring, how about that?¡± Zhen Gu¡¯s brows were furrowed from the first condition. Asking for a territory was a bit too big of a request. After all, a territory was the foundation of a faction. However, Lin Mo¡¯s last words made Zhen Gu¡¯s eyes widen. ¡°Two bottles of immortal spring?¡± Not only Zhen Gu, but Chen Wu was also shocked. The price was not cheap, giving away a bottle of immortal spring for free. ¡°Brother Lin, are you serious?¡± Zhen Gu stared at Lin Mo with red eyes. This information was too important. There were many immortal springs in the Purple Moon Palace. This was what he understood. Chapter 437 - Carrying Out the Transaction If they could put it up for auction, there must be some surplus. At the very least, these two palace masters would have it. Initially, he thought that only this bottle could be bought. Who would have thought that Lin Mo was willing to give him a bottle as a gift? ¡°Regarding the matters of the territory, can you make the decision?¡± Asked Lin Mo. for the Purple Moon Palace to grow, one must have an ally. The Great Yan Divine Empire was very suitable, and the next emperor had a good relationship with him. However, Zhen Gu was still a prince, so he could not make the decision. Therefore, he had to go back and report it to the higher-ups. ¡°I will go back and tell them. They will definitely agree. Brother Lin, just wait for the Good News.¡± Zhen Gu laughed out loud. He exchanged a glance with Chen Wu, and then planned to turn around and leave. Two bottles of immortal spring would definitely be able to move those stubborn elders. After all, those who needed the immortal spring had the absolute right to speak. ¡°Hold on, don¡¯t make a big deal out of this. Just say that you¡¯re using this territory to trade with me for a bottle of immortal spring,¡± Lin Mo exhorted. ¡°Understood.¡± After Zhen Gu left these two words, he left with Chen Wu. As for the Crown Prince of the Lu Jin dynasty, his conditions were rather ordinary, so he could only refuse. After making some arrangements in Yue Xuan and making the place run normally, he handed over all the responsibilities to Huixiang. In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, he also called Tang Chen over. While he was away, the two of them had full authority over Yue Xuan. After doing all this, it was already the morning of the second day. Lin Mo found a secret room and chose to go into seclusion to cultivate. He had yet to cultivate the heaven-cleaving sword qi that he had just obtained. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve cultivated sword techniques and martial arts. I¡¯m a Little Rusty.¡± As he muttered to himself, sharp swords kept appearing in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. They emitted streams of sword qi that filled the entire secret chamber. Some sword marks appeared on the surrounding walls due to Lin Mo¡¯s practice. They were extremely sharp. ¡°Heaven-cleaving sword qi. Using one¡¯s body as a sword, one can release it with a thought.¡± ¡°From nothing to something. When the sword qi is completed with a flick of the finger, it can also slash down the sun, moon, and stars.¡± Immersed in the ocean of sword qi, Lin Mo almost forgot himself. At this moment, he felt like he was a sharp sword. There were no distracting thoughts in his mind. His only thought was to slash open this world, and the Sun, Moon, and stars would tremble as the sword qi shook. ¡°This¡­ Is the heaven-cleaving sword qi?¡± After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mo woke up from the sword qi and muttered to himself. The ancient desolation sword had appeared in his hand at some point in time. As it trembled slightly, a powerful sword qi erupted. The ancient sword of desolation in his hand flew up and the sword qi soared into the sky. Lin Mo¡¯s heart was filled with boundless battle intent as he subconsciously slashed his sword forward. ¡°Wait, what the F*ck, what am I doing?¡± Lin Mo was shocked because the sword that he slashed down was actually heading straight for the main building of the Moon Pavilion. That building had been demolished because it belonged to the city lord¡¯s mansion. Back then, even the protective formation of the city had been demolished, so it was completely defenseless. ¡°Haha, Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll take it.¡± After a loud laugh, a man bathed in lightning flew out, holding a lightning spear in his hand as he met the sword. ¡°Ji Zixiao?¡± Looking at this familiar figure, Lin Mo was taken aback. He did not expect Ji Zixiao to still be in the Purple Moon Palace, which surprised him. ¡°Brother Lin, fulfill the duel you promised me.¡± Ji Zixiao laughed out loud. After blocking the sword qi with his thunder spear, a loud explosion sounded. Everyone was alarmed. It was not only Hailing city, but also the Purple Moon Palace not far away. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on this place. Amidst the explosion, Ji Zixiao flew out. He held his spear which was stained with lightning and stabbed it at Lin Mo¡¯s throat. His moves were fast, accurate, and ruthless. Not a single move was unnecessary. Lin Mo was shocked, but his fighting spirit was also roused. The ancient sword of desolation emitted sword qi as he fought Ji Zixiao. At this moment, Lin Mo finally understood why Ji Zixiao was so eager to fight. As they fought, the fighting spirit in Ji Zixiao¡¯s body grew stronger and stronger. He also became more familiar with the circulation of spiritual qi and had a feeling of perfect control over it. ¡°Haha, this feels great. Let¡¯s continue.¡± Ji Zixiao laughed out loud as the tip of the spear and the blade clashed, creating sparks from the friction. Neither of them used any martial arts and even controlled the spiritual Qi to a certain extent without causing too much damage. After a fierce battle, Ji Zixiao was the first to stop and let out a hearty laugh. ¡°Haha, Brother Lin is indeed amazing. Your swordsmanship is exquisite. I don¡¯t think even Saintess Xia You can beat you.¡± Ji Zixiao smiled heroically and gave Lin Mo an extremely high evaluation. ¡°Brother Ji, you¡¯re exaggerating. In terms of swordsmanship, I don¡¯t dare to compete with Saintess Xia You.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. That was because Saintess Xia You was flying in the air and watching the intense battle between the two of them with interest. ¡°Reporting to the vice palace master, Saintess Xia You has been waiting for you for seven days. In addition, princess Gu Luo and prince Zhen Gu also arrived four days ago and three days ago.¡± Hui Xiang flew into the sky and reported the situation. Lin Mo nodded and said, ¡°How long have I been in closed-door cultivation?¡± ¡°Almost a month. The sword qi in the place where you are in closed-door cultivation is too terrifying. We didn¡¯t dare to approach it.¡± Hui Xiang said with some fear. Even Tang Chen, an expert at the third sky of Nirvana Realm, didn¡¯t dare to stay too long. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the Purple Moon Palace and invite an expert at the fifth sky of Nirvana Realm to check it out. Only then did she let them rest assured. ¡°What sharp sword qi. Brother Lin¡¯s sword technique seems to be much stronger than the one that was auctioned last time.¡± Saintess Xia You came over and praised. When she first came to Yue Xuan, she had already sensed the sword qi here. It was extremely powerful. It was not inferior to what she cultivated. ¡°Saintess, you¡¯re too polite. Please follow me.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Naturally, this kind of transaction could not be done in Yue Xuan. It had to be done in the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Let¡¯s Go!¡± Zhen Gu called out to the guest hall, followed by Princess Gu Luo. The few of them headed to the Purple Moon Palace together. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± An old man with white hair and a youthful face stood behind Zhen Gu. He looked at the others with shock and hesitation. ¡°Three ninth sky Nirvana Realm powerhouses. If they enter the Purple Moon Palace and cause damage, all their efforts will be wasted¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little worried. Fortunately, the relationship between the three major forces and him was not bad. Although there was some conflict between them and the Divine Secrets Holy Land, it was not impossible to resolve it. However, the level of danger was a little lower. ¡°It seems like brother Lin has more than one bottle of immortal spring.¡± Looking at the other people, Saintess Xia you was extremely smart. Naturally, she knew the reason and was shocked once again. ¡°Please take a seat, brother Zhen. I wonder if the Great Yan Divine Empire will agree to my conditions?¡± Lin Mo took the lead to look at Zhen Gu. Since the other party had come, he should have agreed. However, just in case, he had to ask first. ¡°Vice palace master Lin, I wonder if you can change your conditions. For example, spirit stones, magical items, and so on. We are willing to pay a higher price.¡± The old man behind Zhen Gu spoke. His hair was white and his face was young, but his voice was extremely old. Hearing that, Lin Mo shook his head slightly and said, ¡°No, the conditions can not be changed. Please forgive me, senior.¡± After that, the old man fell into silence. Seeing that, Zhen Gu had no choice but to spread his hands at Lin Mo. He also wanted to help Lin Mo complete the transaction, but he could not make the decision for Great Yan Dvine Empire. Moreover, he wanted to order this man. Even the emperor might not be able to do it¡­ Chapter 438 - The Water of Life ¡°Haha, Zhen Wude, Are you going to be stingy? Come and listen to our conditions.¡± At this moment, the old man behind Princess Gu Luo spoke up. He stroked his beard and laughed heartily. ¡°Vice palace master Lin, the five stalks of snow worry spirit flowers you mentioned, plus 500 million middle-grade spirit stones, we¡¯ve paid for them. They¡¯re right here, you can count them.¡± He laughed heartily and passed an interspatial ring to Lin Mo. Gu Luo looked at Lin Mo and nodded slightly, indicating for Lin Mo to count them. ¡°Then Junior will take a look first.¡± Lin Mo smiled and sent his spiritual sense into it. In the huge space between them, there was a mountain of spirit stones. A total of 50 million spirit stones, just like what Lin Mo had agreed on. Other than that, there were two snow-white jade-like flowers that were planted in ice crystal flower pots, sparkling and translucent. Lin Moguang¡¯s eyes were blurred after just one look, and he felt as if he was intoxicated. ¡°It really is a treasure.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. It was perfect. If these two snow worry spirit flowers were auctioned off, it would probably cause a stir. ¡°However, I have to remind my young friend that time is almost up. After this snow worry spirit flower is plucked, it can only last for a month.¡± ¡°Taking into account the time spent on the road, I suggest that you and palace head Jiang quickly decide who gets to eat it.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded his head. His lips moved slightly as he sent a voice transmission. Not long after, Bai Luo in a white dress brought Lin Die, who was jumping, over. ¡°Big Brother.¡± Lin Die was originally a little unwilling when she was brought over by Bai Luo. After seeing Lin Mo, she ran over happily. ¡°What a pure fire element.¡± The three ninth sky of Nirvana realm experts were shocked. They looked at Lin Die with disbelief in their eyes. This little girl, who was not even ten years old, was already at the 25th Sky of the Nirvana realm. What kind of monstrous talent was this? The so-called number one genius of the eastern continent, Saintess Xia you, had not reached the dragon transformation realm when she was in her teens. ¡°Brother Lin, who is this?¡± Saintess Xia You asked. ¡°This is my sister, Lin Die.¡± Lin Mo teased Lin Die and smiled. ¡°Lil¡¯ Die, eat this flower.¡± He took out a snow worry spirit flower. That crystal clear flower was like an ice sculpture. This was a divine work of nature. ¡°So beautiful.¡± Lin Die blinked her big eyes and held this snow worry spirit flower with her small hand. She couldn¡¯t put it down. ¡°Stop fooling around, eat it quickly.¡± Bai Luo knocked on Lin Die¡¯s small head. After the snow worry spiritual flower was plucked, it was very difficult to preserve it. Now that it was taken out of the interspatial ring, the storage time was even shorter. ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful, what a pity to eat it¡­¡± Lin Die was somewhat unwilling, but under the stern gazes of Lin Mo and Bai Luo, she still ate it. The ice-crystal-like petals had just been sent into her mouth, but in the next moment, they melted directly. The entire flower turned into a clear energy and fused into Lin Die¡¯s body. After eating the flower, Lin Die yawned and fell asleep. ¡°She¡¯s about to break through. I¡¯ll take her to seclusion first,¡± Bai Luo said. Then, Lin Mo handed the remaining snow worry spirit flower to Bai Luo. That one was for Jiang Xiyue. She and Bai Luo were practicing their spear techniques, and they were learning from each other. Apart from that, Jiang Xiyue agreed to join the Bai family, and Bai Luo was also teaching some of the Bai family¡¯s legacies. ¡°The Purple Moon Palace has a rich source of fortune. There¡¯s actually a genius hidden there¡­¡± Gu Luo and the others raised their heads and looked at Lin Mo. . They were even more shocked. They originally thought that the three peerless geniuses were all their trump cards. They didn¡¯t expect that there would be an even smaller one. It was hard to imagine how powerful the Purple Moon Palace would be when Lin die matured. ¡°I was just lucky. This is the immortal spring. Senior, please keep it well.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a bottle of immortal spring, handing it to the old man behind Gu Luo. The old man took it as if he had obtained a treasure. Then, he drank it in front of everyone. As waves of pure energy appeared, the old man¡¯s appearance also underwent a huge change. His hair turned from white to gray. The frown on his face was gone, and his entire person was full of energy. This was equivalent to rebirth. Everything had returned to youth, his talent had returned, and there was hope for him to ascend to immortality. ¡°Haha¡­¡± He laughed loudly, and his voice became younger. He was like a youth, very magical and shocking. ¡°What a magical immortal spring.¡± Behind Saintess Xia You, the elder drooled. He then looked at Lin Mo and said impatiently. ¡°Little friend, let¡¯s hurry up and trade. I¡¯ve already brought the immortal ascension pill.¡± Hearing the words immortal ascension pill, the others were shocked, especially Gu Luo and Chen Wu, who had come with Zhen Gu. Everyone knew about the miraculous effects of the Immortal Ascension Pill, but they all believed that this kind of spirit pill could only be found on other continents. The eastern continent couldn¡¯t ascend to immortality, so even if this kind of spirit pill was available in the forbidden area, they couldn¡¯t force their way in. It was too dangerous. ¡°The Divine Secrets Holy Land does indeed have the Immortal Ascension Pill.¡± The eyes of the person who had just returned to his youth flashed with a bright light as he looked at the jade bottle the other party took out from his interspatial ring. ¡°Advisor Tian, don¡¯t think about it anymore. You¡¯ve already returned to your youth. Do you still want the immortal ascension pill?¡± The elder from the Divine Secrets Holy Land said. ¡°Hou Feng, don¡¯t be jealous. Didn¡¯t you eat theimmortal ascension pill before?¡± At this moment, the elder behind Zhen Gu spoke. His name was Zhen Wude, and he was the emperor three generations ago. Ever since he abdicated, he had been in seclusion, searching for a way to break through, but it had been ineffective. Now that the immortal spring had given him hope, he didn¡¯t want to give up. ¡°Senior, have you made up your mind?¡± Lin Mo looked at the other party. If the other party cared about his territory, it would be hard for him to complete today¡¯s deal. ¡°I agree. From now on, the area from Dragon Bay City to Hailing city belongs to Purple Moon Palace.¡± As soon as he finished his words, the others were surprised as well. Hou Feng and Gu Tian looked at each other and finally understood why Zhen Wude was hesitating. So what Lin Mo wanted was territory. However, this was normal. If Purple Moon Palace wanted to develop, territory was indispensable. ¡°Thank you, senior. This is the agreement.¡± Lin Mo took out an interspatial ring with a smile and handed it to Zhen Wude. Zhen Wude took it, but he didn¡¯t drink it immediately. Instead, he sat down and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°There¡¯s still the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s. Alright, the transaction is complete. I Won¡¯t keep you all. Please return.¡± After the three factions completed the transaction, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. As long as nothing went wrong, it was good. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning off three bottles of Earth rank 5 immortal spring ] [ Triggered 5,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a drop of Earth rank 9 water of life ] tier 7 earth grade, water of life. Lin Mo checked the effects in the system space. After reading it, he was overjoyed. This water of life contained extremely powerful life force. These were all treasures that could allow the devouring God body to devour. There was a large amount of pure spiritual energy within, and there wasn¡¯t any special effect. ¡°Put it into the Devouring God Body and slowly devour it.¡± Lin Mo muttered, putting this drop of water of life into his body, placing it in his dantian. He activated the Soul Devouring Art and let it circulate slowly. ¡°What are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?¡± A wisp of fragrance filled the air. Qiluo, who was wearing a yellow dress, walked in step by step and stood beside Lin Mo. ¡°Or did you just get another treasure from those people?¡± Qiluo asked. Chapter 439 - Lightning In The Sky ¡°Aunty, you¡¯ve come out of closed-door cultivation. It¡¯s just nice that you¡¯ve taken this immortal ascension pill. It¡¯s said that you can directly break through without refining it.¡± The people from the three forces had just left. If they broke through now, they would definitely notice it. This was the effect that he wanted. As long as the news spread, the entire eastern continent would know that a Ninth Sky Nirvana Realm expert had been born in the Purple Moon Palace. Right now, Lin Mo¡¯s only regret was that both the snow worry spirit flower and the Immortal Ascension Pill were forbidden from being sold. This kind of treasure was too precious. If Lin Mo didn¡¯t have the immortal spring, the two forces wouldn¡¯t even let outsiders know that they had it¡­ If they couldn¡¯t auction it, they could only use it for their own people. The two snow worry spirit flowers were given to Lin Die and Jiang Xiyue respectively, and the immortal ascension pill was given to damask. Now that Luo Haoyu was in closed-door cultivation, the Purple Moon Palace would not come out unless there was danger. Jiang Xiyue and Lin Die were refining the snow worry spirit flowers, while Bai Luo was guiding Lin die in her cultivation. Right now, he was the only one who had nothing to do¡­ ¡°Alright, I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to break through to the Ninth Sky of the Nirvana Realm before the age of forty. What a surprise¡­¡± Qiluo smiled faintly and swallowed the Immortal Ascension Pill. The spiritual energy in her body began to surge and rise. ¡°Boom.¡± At this moment, a deafening thunder rang out. Thunder rumbled in the sky above Purple Moon Palace. Bolts of lightning condensed in the sky. This level of lightning was the most terrifying lightning Lin Mo had ever seen. ¡°It seems to be coming for me¡­¡± Beside Lin Mo, Damask, who had her eyes closed, suddenly spoke. For some reason, when she had just broken through, she vaguely sensed that something in the sky was calling for her. In fact, with the help of the immortal aura on the Immortal Ascension Pill, she seemed to have seen the hope of her ascending to immortality. It seemed to be an illusion, but she did feel it. ¡°It¡¯s the same fluctuation as the last time when I condensed the Soul Devouring Art from the God devouring body. It¡¯s the power of the heavens and can not be resisted. But, why?¡± Lin Mo frowned and recalled the situation at that time. It seemed that Bai Luo knew something. However, she wasn¡¯t willing to say anything. Lin Mo himself couldn¡¯t figure out what it was. ¡°Could it be a phenomenon? Because the Lightning didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of descending,¡± Qiluo said. She could feel that the Lightning was coming for her, but she could also feel that the lightning seemed to be restricted by something. It was unable to break through its shackles and descend onto the eastern continent. ¡°Aunty, has such lightning ever appeared before?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°No, not at all. Moreover, there won¡¯t be any strange phenomenon after breaking through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm.¡± Qiluo said. She had seen an ultimate expert of the Yan Huang Divine Empire break through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. Although the fluctuation produced was very powerful, it was only the aura it released. There wasn¡¯t any strange phenomenon. ¡°The thunder clouds have dissipated. Strange¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn¡¯t understand why. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t think too much. Just focus on your cultivation. The problem of the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s territory will be solved by the fire god Army led by the medicine jar.¡± Qiluo said. With her and the purple spirit guards in the Purple Moon Palace, it was already safe. The problem of the territory could also be solved. The rest was to rest up and prepare to attack the Yan Huang dynasty at the same time. Returning to Hailing city, Lin Mo found that the people on the street were all talking about what had just happened. ¡°I remember now. Back then in the Monolith Forbidden Ground, there was such a phenomenon there. It split open the array formation of the Monolith Forbidden Ground.¡± Some people were shocked as they recalled the rumors from the past. Why did the Purple Moon Palace have so many heavenly and earthly treasures? Didn¡¯t they just take away the Monolith Forbidden Ground. The number of treasures being auctioned shocked many people. ¡°Latest news. A month ago, the Yue Xuan auction ended. In the end, the immortal spring belonged to someone you absolutely can¡¯t imagine.¡± ¡°It must have been Saintess Xia You. wasn¡¯t she at Yue Xuan Just Now?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t put it that way. Princess Gu Luo is here too. What if she was the one who bought it?¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s discussion, Lin Mo came to Yue Xuan. There was an auction going on here, and Yue Xuan¡¯s rules stated that the auction would be held once every half a month. It just so happened that this was the third time it was being held. Of course, Lin Mo would not follow the rules. He needed resources, a lot of resources. ¡°Thank you all for coming to support us. This auction is over. The next auction will be in half a month¡­¡± ¡°No, it will be in seven days.¡± Hui Xiang had just finished her auction and was about to close when she saw Lin Mo appear on the stage. ¡°Vice Palace Master.¡± Hui Xiang bowed before turning around to leave. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you. The next auction will be held in seven days. I¡¯ll be hosting it, and the final item will be an earth grade treasure.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s simple words shocked everyone present. Many people were extremely excited as they looked at Lin Mo. An earth-rank treasure was about to be auctioned, and an earth-rank treasure would appear in the auction venue of the Moon Pavilion seven days from now. This was a pleasant surprise for them. ¡°Everyone, please tell your friends and relatives that if anyone wants to send an item for auction, they can also come to the Moon Pavilion. The commission will only be 1% .¡± After saying that, Lin Mo left. These people were all stimulated. The auction of Yue Xuan in seven days had also become the focus of attention, becoming the object of discussion. ¡°It¡¯s time for me to cultivate properly. I haven¡¯t used the True Phoenix Nirvana technique for a long time. I can use the water of life to cultivate again.¡± With this thought in his heart, Lin Mo returned to the secret chamber where he had previously secluded himself and started cultivating again. The power of the water of life was being continuously devoured. As Lin Mo entered his cultivation state, the devouring speed increased by quite a bit. Waves of pure energy fused into his limbs and bones. This feeling cleansed his entire soul. The cry of a phoenix rang out, and runes lit up within Lin Mo¡¯s body as the true Phoenix Nirvana technique circulated. His entire body began to glow, erupting with waves of intense flames. These were the flames used by true phoenixes when they were in Nirvana. They could cleanse the marrow, cleanse the bones, invigorate the blood, and remove the blood stasis. Some of the hidden injuries that were left behind from years of battle were completely healed. Dense life energy circulated throughout his body, leaving behind Golden Flames. The cries of the Phoenixes could be heard continuously. ¡°Crack.¡± The Flames continued, and Lin Mo¡¯s bones were also burned. Crisp sounds could be heard as life energy was continuously injected into his body. Finally, Lin Mo¡¯s bones were shattered. In just an instant, all of his defenses collapsed. His meridians were broken, his skin was split open, and even his bones were shattered. This wasn¡¯t the end. Next was his soul. The golden flames surged forth, and a white light flashed between Lin Mo¡¯s brows. His surroundings were filled with the golden flames, and Lin Mo suffered unimaginable pain. Even so, he didn¡¯t give up. The Golden Flames burned his soul, making him even stronger. This state continued for three days. During these three days, Lin Mo suffered unimaginable pain. The True Phoenix Nirvana art. Every time he cultivated, it was so painful that he wished he was dead. Lin Mo¡¯s body trembled. He lay in the secret chamber, constantly being burned by the golden flames. Suddenly, when the golden flames completely destroyed all the life force in Lin Mo¡¯s body, the pain disappeared. The originally violent golden flames calmed down and turned into a torrent that flowed into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Wherever they went, the meridians were connected, the bones regenerated, and the flesh and blood reappeared. Lin Mo felt a wave of comfort in his soul, causing him to relax and fall into a deep sleep. Chapter 440 - Forbidden Ghost Region After three days of burning, he had been able to keep his soul clear. Only by doing so could he wait until the end of the Nirvana Flames. The life force in his body had been completely burned out, and the bitter taste was sweet. The powerful Nirvana Flames cast Lin Mo¡¯s body anew, and a powerful force slowly awakened¡­ This kind of recasting took another three days. During this period of time, Lin Mo had been in a comatose state, and it was very comfortable. When he woke up, the Golden Flames on his body had already disappeared, and the drop of water of life in his body had also disappeared. The true Phoenix Nirvana technique had used up all of the energy within, and not a single bit of it remained. Opening his eyes, Lin Mo sat in the secret chamber meticulously. His eyes emitted a bright light, and his body felt somewhat crystalline. ¡°The strength of a second sky of the Nirvana stage has become much stronger.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He had benefited greatly from this training, and his foundation had become more solid. There were no more unforeseen circumstances. ¡°It¡¯s time to go out. The auction can continue.¡± After putting on his clothes, Lin Mo turned around and left the secret chamber. At this moment, Hailing City was already bustling with activity. The reception hall in the Yue Xuan Hall had long been filled. Some of the distinguished guests could only search for inns in the city. One could imagine how many people the Yue Xuan auction had attracted this time. ¡°There¡¯s a familiar scent. These people really don¡¯t want to miss a single one of them.¡± Lin Mo smiled. There was still one more day before the start of the auction. However, he did not cultivate. Instead, he returned to the Purple Moon Palace. Construction was still ongoing here. A few elders were busy discussing the construction of the array formation with others. Although the light protection battle array could protect the Purple Moon Palace, it couldn¡¯t be operated continuously either. The sect protecting array formation was still necessary. Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t feel sorry for the materials either. She used all kinds of precious refining materials. She hoped that the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s array formation could withstand a ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm expert. Only then would she feel at ease. She toured the expanding Purple Moon Palace to understand the situation. When the second day arrived, the Yue Xuan auction began in the afternoon. Lin Mo had prepared a lot of treasures. ¡°Hello, everyone. Thank you for participating in the auction. I can tell you in advance that there are two earth-grade treasures in this auction.¡± Lin Mo stood on the auction stage and looked at the crowd gathered below. He nodded in satisfaction. ¡°I heard that the weapon Elder Luo uses is a cauldron. It¡¯s particular about opening and closing. The quality of the weapon is also very high.¡± ¡°I need to help find a suitable weapon for elder Luo to possess.¡± With this thought in mind, Lin Mo recalled that there were two cauldrons that he could hope for in this auction. One of the cauldrons was still being auctioned, and it was a spirit rank 7 item. Thinking up to this point, Lin Mo didn¡¯t hesitate any longer. He beckoned for the maid to bring the first item up for auction. ¡°This is a map. I wonder if anyone is interested.¡± Lin Mo said. This was a map of a forbidden area that a mercenary had risked his life to obtain. ¡°Vice palace master, May I ask which forbidden area¡¯s map it is?¡± Someone asked. Many people were interested, and most of them were mercenaries. The adventurous spirit in their bones made them very fond of that kind of dangerous place. ¡°It¡¯s the ghost domain. It¡¯s located at the border between the Great Ancient Divine Empire and the Lu Jin Divine Empire.¡± This map came from the ghost domain. Lin Mo had checked it with the system, and it proved that it was indeed a map of the ghost domain. However, this map was incomplete. If anyone casually entered, they might die inside. ¡°The ghost domain is dangerous, and this map is also incomplete. Whether or not anyone is willing to take the risk is up to you.¡± With that, Lin Mo dropped his hammer. ¡°The starting bid for the incomplete map of the ghost domain is 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± It could only be sold for 10,000. This was the price set by the system, and from this, one could see how unreliable this map was. If they were to really use this map to enter, they would probably die a horrible death. ¡°Interesting. I¡¯ll take it. 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones.¡± A burst of hearty laughter sounded out as a young man walked out of the private room. It was Ji Zixiao, who had fought with Lin Mo a few days ago. ¡°The holy son of the thunderous sacred land. Why is he buying it? Doesn¡¯t he know how dangerous this ghost domain is?¡± Some people frowned, but there were also people who knew that Ji Zixiao was just like that. He liked to fight with others and manage all sorts of dangers. This was how he had obtained his strength in his life. He had relied on turning danger into danger over and over again to improve himself. As such, he would definitely not miss out on such a forbidden map. ¡°10,000 mid-grade spirit stones for once. Is there any higher price?¡± Lin Mo asked. The first time the auction hammer landed, the entire place was incomparably quiet. Even some mercenaries weren¡¯t willing to buy it because the ghost domain was too dangerous. It was said that as long as one entered, those who came out alive would reap the rewards. However, out of a hundred people who entered, perhaps only one would come out alive, and the rest wouldn¡¯t be able to survive. ¡°Deal! Congratulations to the VIP in VIP room No. 21 for winning the Ghost Domain Map.¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t be bothered to shout three times, since no one wanted it anyway. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Ghost Domain Map ] [ You have successfully triggered the 9000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the complete Ghost Domain Map ] ¡°Let¡¯s invite the next item for auction.¡± After the ghost domain map was taken down, the maid at the back brought up the second item for auction. ¡°This item was also sent by someone else. It was the mercenary who auctioned the Ghost Domain Map previously. I heard that he was able to come out because of this treasure.¡± Lin Mo said as he lifted the red cloth and a dense, cold aura spread out. On the silver plate was a pitch-black pearl. ¡°This is the Netherworld Pearl.¡± ¡°After my appraisal, the Netherworld Pearl is able to resist the ghost qi in the ghost realm. This is the key to exploring the ghost realm.¡± ¡°This is a spirit grade tier 7 treasure. Its effects are simple, but its ability to resist the ghost qi is very good.¡± Before Lin Mo could introduce it, Ji Zixiao had already walked out and said, ¡°Don¡¯t introduce it. I want it. Tell me the price.¡± Since the Netherworld Pearl had such a single effect, the only person who would buy it would be Ji Zixiao, who was preparing to go to the ghost realm. ¡°The starting price is 1.5 million.¡± Lin Mo knocked down the hammer and Ji Zixiao started bidding. 1.5 million, no more, no less. No one in the surroundings was willing to bid for it either. After three attempts, Lin Mo helplessly dropped the hammer and observed a moment of silence for the auctioneer. The ghost realm was fraught with danger, and very few people were willing to enter. This auction was obviously a loss. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 7 Netherworld Pearl ] [ Triggered 7,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a spirit rank 9 Netherworld Pearl ] After hearing about the item, Lin Mo sent his consciousness into the system space to check out the effects of the item. The netherworld pearl from the system was a hundred times more effective than the netherworld pearl. The owner would be able to enter the deepest parts of the ghost realm. During this period of time, the ghost realm monsters would not attack the owner. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to find an opportunity to go to the ghost realm.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. There was no other way. He had obtained the complete map of the ghost realm and the netherworld pearl. If he didn¡¯t make a trip to the ghost realm, wouldn¡¯t it be a waste? ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the auction to end,¡± Lin Mo thought to himself as the third item was brought up for auction. ¡°Spirit grade tier 6 cultivation technique, cloud water art.¡± ¡°This is a water attribute cultivation technique. Its effects are very good. Friends who need it can purchase it.¡± ¡°Starting bid, 1,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Chapter 441 - Blood Sea Spirit Pearl ¡°1,200,000.¡± ¡°1,500,000.¡± Amidst the sounds of increasing bids, the cloud water art was finally auctioned off at a high price of 3,200,000. There were two people who had been fighting over it, they were able to reach this price in the end. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit level rank 6 cultivation technique, cloud water art ] [ Triggered 1,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the spirit rank 7 cultivation technique, magical water spirit mantra ] In this auction, Saintess Xia You had once placed a bid, and this person seemed to have stayed at Yue Xuan for quite a long time. Other than that, there was also the tenth princess of the Yanhuang dynasty, who used to have a good relationship with Jiang Xiyue. It seemed like she had been sent here to gather information. Lin Mo didn¡¯t pay any attention to this. As long as the other party didn¡¯t cause trouble, he wouldn¡¯t chase away the guests. Soon, the auction gradually came to an end. This time, Lin Mo earned nearly 90 million middle-grade spirit stones. ¡°The second to last item is also the first earth-grade treasure. Everyone, don¡¯t miss it.¡± On the auction stage, Lin Mo took out a small piece of grass that emitted a life aura. ¡°This is the soul returning grass. It can effectively raise one¡¯s soul power. However, there are requirements for the user. The user needs to be at the 5th sky of the Nirvana Realm.¡± ¡°There aren¡¯t many spiritual herbs that can raise one¡¯s soul power, especially earth rank ones. The starting bid for the Earth Rank 1 soul returning grass is 20 million. Each increment must not be lower than 1 million.¡± Spiritual herbs that could raise one¡¯s soul power were rare in the eastern continent. Even spirit rank middle and high rank ones rarely appeared in the auction house. ¡°Twenty-one million.¡± Saintess Xia You walked out and was very satisfied with this auction. Even she would need the soul returning grass, so she couldn¡¯t miss it. ¡°Twenty-two million.¡± ¡°Twenty-three million.¡± One after another, people started to participate in the bidding. They were all experts from all over the eastern continent who had come because of their fame. However, their financial resources were obviously limited. When Saintess Xia You raised the price to fifty-five million, there was finally no more bidding. ¡°The only one with real financial resources is Saintess Xia You. Looks like there¡¯s no suspense for the finale.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and dropped the auction hammer, saying, ¡°Congratulations, Saintess Xia You, for bidding 55 million for the soul returning grass.¡± [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Earth rank rank rank 1 soul returning grass ] [ Triggered 5,000 times the auction profit ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth Rank 3 soul returning grass ] Another extremely powerful spiritual herb, the soul fusion grass, could also increase one¡¯s soul power. However, its effects were much stronger than the soul returning grass. Earth rank treasures were extremely important, hence they were traded on the spot. After both parties confirmed that there was no mistake, Lin Mo waved his hand, and a maid walked up from behind, presenting the final item. ¡°Next, the most anticipated treasure, the rank 2 Earth Rank Blood Essence Pearl.¡± ¡°To the west of the eastern continent, there is a western sea. According to legend, there is this legendary dragon palace, which is also a forbidden area.¡± ¡°This item is produced there. The Blood Qi within can effectively increase the strength of the user¡¯s body, and can subtly improve the user¡¯s physique.¡± This was the item that Saintess Xia You had sent for auction. Lin Mo was also very surprised as to why Saintess Xia You would choose to auction off the treasures on her body. However, when Lin Mo used the system space to check, he finally understood. Although the Blood Essence Pearl was an earth rank 2 treasure, what was truly valuable was its endless blood qi. This kind of blood qi could rely on the energy of Heaven and earth to recover, and was suitable for long-term inheritance. Right now, the world was in chaos. It was best to exchange this kind of not-very-precious inheritance for advantageous resources. ¡°The starting bid for the Blood Essence Pearl is 25 million mid-grade spirit stones. Those who want it can bid.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, shouts immediately sounded from below the stage. Even though Lin Mo had explained the flaws of this item, the people still yearned for it. This was especially so when they saw that Saintess Xia You had yet to bid. The people¡¯s desire for it grew even stronger. ¡°I bid 30 million.¡± At this moment, the tenth princess of the Yanhuang Divine Empire appeared. She smiled at Lin Mo on the stage with a complicated expression. Not long ago, Lin Mo was the same as her. He was a junior and was only famous in the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. However, it was different now. He was the Vice Palace Master of the Purple Moon Palace and had a high status. The current Purple Moon Palace was no weaker than the Yanhuang Divine Empire. The news of Qiluo breaking through to the ninth sky of the Nirvana Realm had long spread all over the world. ¡°Thirty-one million.¡± On the other side, a man walked out from the private room. His eyes were burning as he stared at the blood essence pearl on the stage. Only Yue Xuan would auction off such a precious treasure. And now that Saintess Xia You did not participate in the competition, their chance had come. ¡°Thirty-two million.¡± The tenth princess raised the bid. ¡°Thirty-five million.¡± ¡°Thirty-six million.¡± Both sides argued. Neither side wanted to give in. Soon, the price of the Blood Essence Pearl was raised to fifty million. The number of bidders would occasionally increase, but in the end, only the tenth princess and the man remained. ¡°53 million.¡±The tenth princess gritted her teeth and made another bid. At the same time, she looked at Lin Mo nervously. Previously, Lin Mo had refused to sell it to the second prince and Patriarch Jiang Long. It was because of this that she had been sent here with a lot of spirit stones. Her goal was to buy valuable treasures. It was impossible for her to have so many spirit stones. It was obvious that she was bidding for the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°Fifty-five million.¡± The man on the other side did not show any signs of weakness and raised the price again. However, when he spoke again, his aura weakened a little. Seeing this, the tenth princess mustered up her courage and said, ¡°Sixty million.¡± Bidding six million was already her limit. That was all the spirit stones she had brought. Fortunately, after the other party heard her bid, he wavered a little and was hesitating whether to raise the price. ¡°Sixty million going once.¡± ¡°Sixty million going twice.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer at the right time on the stage. After two times, the man remained silent and didn¡¯t raise the price. ¡°Sixty million going three times, sold.¡± He dropped the hammer for the third time and announced the result of the auction. ¡°Congratulations to the tenth princess of the Yanhuang dynasty for buying this blood essence pearl at the price of 60 million mid-grade spirit stones.¡± However, this was the auction hosted by Saintess Xia You, so he could only take 1% of the commission, which was 600,000. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the Earth rank rank rank 2 blood essence pearl ] [ Triggered 10,000 times the profit from the auction ] [ Congratulations to host for obtaining the Earth Rank 5 blood sea spiritual pearl ] Lin Mo was surprised that an earth rank treasure had been triggered 10,000 times. An earth rank 5 blood sea spiritual pearl had the same effect as a blood essence pearl. However, the blood sea spiritual pearl had a better effect. Furthermore, it could activate blood and remove blood stasis, clearing away the accumulated injuries in one¡¯s body. In addition, the blood sea spiritual pearl could also stabilize one¡¯s mind. It could also help one defend against some external attacks when placed in one¡¯s body. ¡°Activating blood and removing blood stasis is useless against me. Nothing can heal injuries better than the true Phoenix Nirvana technique.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. As for blocking the attack, it was somewhat useful, but he had to put it into his body. He was a devourer body. Any energy that entered his body would be subtly devoured by him. Therefore, the blood sea spiritual bead was of no use to him. ¡°Give it to Xiyue. Bai Luo doesn¡¯t lack any trump cards.¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo ended the auction, cleared the remaining spirit stones and items, and returned to Purple Moon Palace. Chapter 442 - Enlightenment Together Everything was in order in the Purple Moon Palace. He found Jiang Xiyue and gave her the blood sea spiritual bead. ¡°Hey, where did you get this from? How did you get so many treasures?¡± Bai Luo was very curious. Lin Mo had not only taken out the blood sea spiritual bead, but also the soul melting grass. Such treasures were very rare. Normal organizations would not take them out for auction. Only people like Lin Mo who desperately needed spirit stones would take it out to auction off. ¡°Cough cough, don¡¯t ask so many questions. You guys can use this soul fusion spirit grass. I¡¯m going out for a trip.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly. He was about to say something when he noticed that Jiang Xiyue was surrounded by circles of golden light. This light was extremely dazzling and mysterious, making Jiang Xiyue look like a goddess. ¡°What is this?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s one of the inheritances of the Bai family. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so compatible with her. Not bad. My trip to the East continent was not a loss.¡± Bai Luo nodded in satisfaction. Jiang Xiyue had used the true dragon¡¯s heart blood, and now she was learning the inheritance of her family very smoothly. ¡°You¡¯re a little stingy. Do you have any clan-guarding martial arts? Teach me some.¡± Lin Mo rubbed his hands and chuckled. ¡°No Way. The God Devouring Body has its own system. I can¡¯t interfere with it.¡± Bai Luo shook his head and didn¡¯t want to say anything else. ¡°What are your plans next? Do you want to refine spirit stones to increase your strength?¡± Bai Luo asked. ¡°I plan to make a trip to the ghost domain. It¡¯s a very dangerous forbidden land with many opportunities. I plan to find some treasures to auction off.¡± Lin Mo confessed. He already had the map of the ghost domain, so it wouldn¡¯t make sense if he didn¡¯t go. ¡°Be careful. While maintaining your foundation, hurry up and increase your strength. The calamity of the eastern continent is coming soon.¡± ¡°The great chaos of the eastern road is coming.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He looked at Bai Luo. This sudden news made him a little at a loss. After hearing so much news about the great chaos, was it finally coming? Lin Mo was silent for a moment. He looked at the Red Armored Army, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating not far away. This was the weakest of the three armies, and also the one with the largest number of people. This was all arranged by Bai Luo. In fact, Bai Luo was the one who helped arrange the cultivation of the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s people. As for the purpose, it was to fight against the great chaos. ¡°What exactly is it? When will it arrive?¡± Lin Mo asked again. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you, but you will know in a year at the latest.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s expression was solemn as she shook her head. Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything. In the past, he felt that there was still time for him to slowly develop, but now, he couldn¡¯t. ¡°At least half of the eastern continent cultivators will die.¡± Bai Luo spoke, but at the same time, she also indicated that as long as she survived, her strength would surpass the past, regardless of whether it was her talent or aptitude. ¡°As long as he survives, the immortal ascension platform will not be the end, but the starting point.¡± Bai Luo continued to speak, but he didn¡¯t directly say what kind of danger it was. Lin Mo thought seriously before sitting cross-legged in front of Jiang Xiyue with Bai Luo. Xiao Die had already turned into a cocoon and was in the process of transforming, so she couldn¡¯t come. Lin Mo and the other two resonated with their divine senses, imparting the four top-tier techniques of the ¡°True phoenix nirvana technique¡±, ¡°Cloud piercing four spirits¡±, ¡°Kun peng wings¡±, and ¡°Qilin steps¡± to Jiang Xiyue. At the same time, the three of them verified what they had learned and attacked the direction of their own understanding of the principles of the Dao. They all benefited greatly and the three of them cultivated until late at night. Lin Mo was not in a hurry to go to the ghost realm. He had been cultivating for the past few days. Occasionally, he would call Yan Rong over to watch them cultivate and comprehend on his own. The three of them maintained the resonance of their spiritual senses and completely mastered what they had learned. They reached the peak of perfection and cultivated to the extreme. In the end, the Dao here was so dense that even Luo Haoyu was alarmed. He came out of seclusion to take a look and also gained some enlightenment from it. ¡°Sword qi and spear intent, the two have nothing to do with each other, but they can be interlinked and can be used for reference.¡± Lin Mo whispered, disassembling the spear techniques he had comprehended from Bai Luo and Jiang Xiyue, and integrating them into his sword intent. During this period of time, the spirit stones were constantly being refined, and the pure essence of the Lightning Path was also taken out by Lin Mo and absorbed at this moment. The three of them meditated together, and the inner core of the wind and lightning demonic beast was also refined. Lin Mo understood that in addition to the flames, there was also the power of lightning in his dantian. He was immersed in his own consciousness, deducing and deducing over and over again. His dantian turned upside down, and a huge change occurred. Guided by the devouring power, the Flames and lightning assisted each other, forming an incomparably powerful sword qi. ¡°So powerful. Is this a newly created sword move of mine?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The heaven-cleaving sword Qi surged and acted as a carrier to carry this power. ¡°Chi.¡± Immediately after, a sword qi surged out. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of thunder and the spread of flames. When the two powers combined, they became even more powerful. This was clearly a sword qi, but it contained such dense elemental power. The devouring power wrapped around it as if it had formed a world. However, there were only two types of laws within it. Fire and lightning were both extremely powerful attacks. ¡°So powerful. Is this the supreme of Sword Dao? A single sword strike could slash through the heavens and earth. If this were to be completely mastered, I¡¯m afraid that it would be able to destroy the eastern continent¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Following that, he continued to gain enlightenment and fell into silence. The three of them went into seclusion, and each of them received huge benefits. They were all seriously deducing and comprehending the path they would take in the future. ¡°I¡¯ve underestimated the spear intent. The spear intent is indomitable, and it only takes an instant to break through the enemy. Each path can be the strongest. It depends on who is walking on it¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. This was his enlightenment of the Nirvana Realm. He had comprehended the supreme of the long spear from Bai Luo and Jiang Xiyue. The three of them fell into silence, unable to extricate themselves. This state lasted for a month. When they came out of their closed-door cultivation, their realms rose and reached the third sky of the Nirvana realm. At the same time, the heaven and earth shook and thunder clouds covered the sky, as if lightning was about to fall. ¡°Is it because we have comprehended the supreme of Spear and sword? Is this a phenomenon?¡± Jiang Xiyue opened her eyes and looked at the sky. ¡°Why are all the phenomena heavenly lightning?¡± Lin Mo frowned. The sword intent in his body couldn¡¯t be suppressed, and he wanted to compete with the heavenly lightning in the sky. This made him shocked. was the sword qi so powerful that it could contend with the heavenly might. ¡°This is the premonition of a disaster. Hurry up and cultivate.¡± Bai Luo said. She looked at the Heavenly Lightning in the sky for a while and shook her head helplessly. She urged Jiang Xiyue to practice the martial arts that she had just learned. She wanted to master it and remember everything. ¡°Yan Rong, you¡¯ve benefited a lot this time. You can cut down your realm and slowly cultivate. You can break through to the Nirvana realm within a year.¡± On the other side, Yan Rong was originally cultivating. He obtained huge benefits by observing Lin Mo and the other two¡¯s cultivation. His current strength was already at the Dragon Transformation Realm Tier 31. At this moment, he was preparing to attempt to break through to the Nirvana stage. ¡°Ah, why?¡± Yan Rong opened his eyes and asked in puzzlement. There was a huge difference between the Nirvana stage and the Dragon Transformation Stage. How difficult would it be to break through? It wasn¡¯t easy for him to find an opportunity, but he gave it up just like that. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Just cut down the stage and cultivate again. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± As he said this, Bai Luo also looked at the red armored army and said loudly, ¡°You guys are the same. Seriously cut down the stage and cultivate again.¡± Chapter 443 - Eight ¡°All the spirit stones we earned this time will be used up. All the people in the three armies will have to cultivate again.¡± Bai Luo reminded them. As for the defense of Purple Moon Palace, she would bring the elders of Purple Moon Palace to set up a ninth-level spirit level defense formation. It would be much easier with Qiluo¡¯s help. ¡°Listen up, don¡¯t slack off,¡±Jiang Xiyue said, telling the three armies to listen up. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± The soldiers responded respectfully. They sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the spirit stones aren¡¯t enough. I¡¯ll make a trip to the forbidden land¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. According to this method of cultivation, not to mention billions of spirit stones, it wouldn¡¯t even be enough to double it. ¡°This must be the case. Otherwise, the newly established Purple Moon Palace will be severely injured.¡± Bai Luo said resolutely. He couldn¡¯t afford to be careless in this aspect, or else a huge problem would arise. After knowing what was going on, Lin Mo left a soul imprint and left the Purple Moon Palace. The spirit holding technique slowly circulated as he quietly left the Purple Moon Palace. During this period of time, no one had seen the news of his departure, and no one knew about it. ¡°Follow the map.¡±It would take fifteen days to arrive at the ghost realm from hailing city through the teleportation formation. Lin mofei used the teleportation formation from hailing city on the way. It took him six hours to arrive at Dragon Bay City. This place was now the territory of Purple Moon Palace, and there was an elder of the Fifth Heaven of Nirvana realm guarding it. However, Great Yan dynasty would not attack. Therefore, it was only used to intimidate the mercenaries and the opposing forces in the territory. After Lin Mo arrived, he brought Bai Luo¡¯s words to this elder, and gave him a lot of resources to help him rebuild his cultivation base. Using the teleportation formation, Lin Mo entered the Lu Jin dynasty, passing through many cities and arriving at the Imperial City of the Lu Jin dynasty. The ghost region was on the other side of the Lu Jin dynasty, and the great ancient God dynasty each occupied half of it. Therefore, both of them could enter the ghost region. Lin Mo planned to scout the Lu Jin dynasty for some information first. He used the spirit-holding technique and put on his bamboo hat as he walked into the city. After all, he was very famous now. Everyone in the eastern continent knew that he was the Vice Palace Master of Purple Moon Palace, so his status was very high. However, he was just a junior. If his identity was exposed, he would be in trouble. At the very least, he couldn¡¯t avoid being surrounded by people. ¡°This breath-holding spirit concentration technique is really useful. Even though its level isn¡¯t high, even aunty can¡¯t see through its disguise.¡± Lin Mo smiled and smoothly entered the imperial city of the Lu Jin dynasty. This place was very big, not inferior to the imperial family of the Yan Huang Dynasty. The streets were filled with heavy traffic, and the flow of people was extremely large. The sounds of people selling goods could be heard from the shops on both sides. They were all shouting that they had a treasure. ¡°Eh, what kind of creature is that? It¡¯s so strange. It even has two hands on its back. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen it.¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He was just passing by, but he did not expect to meet many strange races here. ¡°Daoist brother, you might not know this, but this is the previous ruler of this territory of the Lu Jin dynasty.¡± Some people in the surroundings explained in a low voice, while others were discussing animatedly. This was a powerful race that had almost ruled the eastern continent seven thousand years ago. It was a pity that after the battle with the other factions in the eastern continent, their vitality was greatly damaged. It was only recently that people from this race came out to move around. They did not expect to live in the Lu Jin divine dynasty. ¡°They are the eight-armed demon race. They are an extremely powerful race. Their strength can uproot mountains and shake the heavens and earth,¡±someone said. This was a powerful race that had almost ruled the eastern continent. Lin Mo was a little surprised when he heard this. This news was too shocking. Why would such a powerful race suddenly appear. ¡°Is it because a disaster is about to descend?¡±Lin Mo whispered. Although his words were very soft, many people still heard it. Immediately, some people burst into laughter. ¡°Haha, fellow Daoist, you can¡¯t really believe that legend, right? What about the origin of the great chaos and the arrival of the disaster? It¡¯s all a lie.¡± Many people echoed and laughed loudly. They believed that the so-called disaster was just a panic created by those large factions. Their purpose was unknown. It was basically impossible to make them believe that a disaster would appear in the eastern continent, which they had always lived in. However, those eight-armed demons were interested and walked over to greet Lin Mo. . Seeing this, Lin Mo began to ask what the disaster was. ¡°In ancient times, there was a prophecy that when the eastern continent had shackles, something was missing. When it appeared, the shackles would disappear and the disaster would descend, spreading.¡± ¡°The eastern continent cultivators would either have their cultivation abolished or die on the spot.¡± He had heard all of this from Bai Luo, but the eight-armed demons didn¡¯t know much more. ¡°Fellow Daoist, if you want to know more, you¡¯ll have to ask our ancestors.¡± The eight-armed demon laughed lightly and waved the two arms behind him. ¡°I only have four arms and am at the bottom level. I don¡¯t know much. However, you won¡¯t be able to meet my ancestors. It¡¯s better not to ask too much about such things.¡± After saying that, the eight-armed demon left, leaving Lin Mo to ponder. The surrounding people were also shocked. The one just now was at the Nirvana realm. They didn¡¯t expect that he was only at the bottom level. How powerful was the real eight-armed demon? Lin Mo didn¡¯t stay too long. He bought a batch of precious spirit pills in the city and then entered the auction in the imperial city. ¡°Sir, would you like to participate in the auction or send them to auction?¡±A maid came forward and said respectfully. ¡°Help me auction off these panaceas and then find me a seat.¡± Lin Mo lowered his voice and said, trying to make his voice as hoarse as possible so that no one would be able to tell. ¡°Yes.¡± Under the guidance of the maid, Lin Mo smoothly entered the auction. The auction was already underway. Lin Mo came over to take a look. He wanted to try his luck and see if he could find any suitable treasures. ¡°Welcome, everyone. The next item to be auctioned is from the eight-armed demon race. The quality is guaranteed.¡± The auctioneer gave an impassioned introduction on the stage. At the same time, he also spread the news of the eight-armed demon race¡¯s comeback. Everyone was a little surprised. This race that had long disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight had actually appeared again. ¡°This item is the eight-armed demon race¡¯s blood essence. It can refine the tibia and hammer the soul. It¡¯s a high-quality Precious Blood.¡± ¡°However, it needs to be supplemented with a lot of spirit herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties. Otherwise, the blood essence of the eight-armed demon race would be too violent and ordinary people wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand it.¡± After some introductions, Lin Mo became interested. It could temper the body and soul. was the blood essence of the eight-armed demon race so useful? ¡°It should be a member of the eight-armed demon race with a pure bloodline. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t have such an effect.¡± Someone Said and made a judgment. A normal eight-armed demon race actually only had four arms. The effect of the blood could only be used to refine the body. It was still very ordinary. ¡°Of course, if you think that your talent is extraordinary and can reach the level of our crown prince, you can directly refine the blood essence.¡± The auctioneer continued to say. Without the use of spirit herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties, he could maximize the effect of the blood essence. However, the pain within wasn¡¯t something that anyone could endure. The slightest carelessness would result in one¡¯s body being smashed to pieces. ¡°The eight-armed Demon¡¯s blood essence has a greater side effect. Its grade is set at the seventh level of the spirit level. The starting bid is one million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Chapter 444 - Heaven Demonic Fire Spirit Stone The auctioneer dropped the auction hammer. Lin Mo nodded after reading it. This item wasn¡¯t bad. It was worth a try. ¡°1,100,000.¡± ¡°1,400,000.¡± Anyone would want a blood essence that could temper one¡¯s physical body and soul, even if it required a lot of spirit herbs to neutralize the medicinal properties. However, those who were able to come here were still able to afford this price. Lin Mo did not participate in the competition. He waited until the end, and only the two of them were left to compete. At this moment, the price was also raised to three million by the two of them. Seeing this, Lin Mo stood up and spoke. ¡°3.5 million.¡± The sudden voice caused everyone present to be stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened. Lin Mo¡¯s sudden bid caused everyone to be unable to react. The expression of the person who had bid 3,000,000 changed as well. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to give up. ¡°3,500,000 going once, is there anyone else who wants to participate in the auction?¡±The auctioneer knocked on the hammer for the first time. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the auctioneer didn¡¯t hesitate. After shouting the last two times, he announced that Lin Mo had bid for the eight armed demon¡¯s blood essence. ¡°Everyone, the last item was supposed to be the final treasure. It¡¯s a spirit rank rank 8 spirit medicine.¡± ¡°However, someone sent over a large number of spirit pills. Their grade isn¡¯t bad, so the final item has been delayed.¡± The auctioneer suddenly said. Everyone who had thought that the auction would end suddenly froze on the spot. ¡°Teacher song, what grade is it? Don¡¯t waste our brothers¡¯time.¡± Someone asked unhappily. They had come for the finale, but the result had been delayed. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s not low. The lowest grade is a fifth level spirit rank, and the highest grade is three seventh level spirit rank pills.¡± The auctioneer called Master song on the stage laughed. These words shocked everyone. The disgruntled voices disappeared, and everyone began to look forward to it. ¡°The auction continues. The next item to be auctioned is a spirit rank 5, Origin Heaven Pill. It contains a large amount of spirit energy, and it can quickly recover the depleted spirit energy.¡± ¡°Starting bid¡­¡± The next items to be auctioned were all items that Lin Mo had sent over. It was necessary to make some preparations before heading to the ghost domain. There were spirit pills for healing, recovery, and even spirit pills for increasing one¡¯s speed when escaping. All of these could not be lacking. This was the only way to ensure that nothing went wrong. The auction lasted for an hour. He sent over twenty panaceas in total, but they were all sold out. No matter where they were, panaceas were very popular. There were no exceptions. Meanwhile, Lin Mo also successfully obtained a large number of treasures that were sold at a profit. At the same time, he also obtained a large number of spirit stones. ¡°These should be enough. Let¡¯s Find a place to refine this blood essence and try it out.¡± Walking out of the auction stage, Lin Mo made some calculations in his heart. He was about to head to the teleportation array of the imperial city and head to the forbidden grounds of the ghost region at the border. ¡°Haha, brother, we meet again. I didn¡¯t expect you to be the one who recognized the goods and bought the blood essence of my clan.¡± Before Lin Mo could leave, a hearty laughter sounded out. A powerful hand patted Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s you.¡±Lin Mo was stunned. This person was the eight-armed demon who had chatted with him previously. He didn¡¯t expect to see him again the moment he stepped out of the auction house. ¡°It seems like fate has brought us together. Please enlighten me. What¡¯s so special about this blood essence?¡±Lin Mo cupped his fists. Since the other party didn¡¯t have any ill intentions, he didn¡¯t mind befriending him. ¡°Haha, there¡¯s nothing special about it. Just find a copper cauldron, put in some spirit herbs, spirit spring, and drop in some blood essence.¡± ¡°Remember to look for spirit herbs with mild medicinal properties. I recommend the Saint Spirit Flower. This type of spirit herb is the most suitable. It¡¯s sold in the trading hall at the front.¡± The two of them laughed and chatted as they walked towards the trading hall. Before they even entered, Lin Mo heard the sounds of an argument. ¡°Old Man, who are you lying to? You said that this thing was taken out from the ghost realm. Do you have any proof?¡±Someone said angrily. There were many people surrounding them. There were many peddlers setting up their stalls. They were all treasures. Lin Mo even saw a spirit rank 8 spirit herb. ¡°Oh, the quality of this holy spirit flower is very good. Fellow Daoist, you can buy one.¡±The eight-armed demon man was very cheerful. He saw a pale yellow flower and brought it over to Lin Mo. . ¡°How many Spirit Stones?¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t resist the enthusiasm. He looked at the Holy Spirit Flower. It was a spirit medicine that could heal injuries, and it wasn¡¯t bad. ¡°Spirit rank rank 6 Holy Spirit Flower, 1.8 million middle-grade spirit stones.¡±The stall owner said with a smile. As he said this, he handed over a stone and said with a smile, ¡°Friend, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re someone who knows the goods. This is a demonic fire stone. Its quality is slightly low, but it¡¯s the real deal.¡± ¡°Do you need it? Let¡¯s buy it together. I¡¯ll charge you 10,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him started cursing and criticizing him. ¡°Old Man, you¡¯re still trying to fool me? This is clearly a blazing stone, and its quality is still so low. You want to sell it for 8,200,000 just like that?¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t say a word. Instead, he took the stone and felt that there was a very strong fire element within it. ¡°Let me check.¡± As he spoke, he urged his dao fire to spread out and at the same time, he kept the stone into the system space. ¡°Heaven Demonic Fire Spirit Stone, a half-step earth grade treasure. It contains powerful fire element within, but its interior is unstable and is about to be destroyed.¡± It wasn¡¯t a demonic fire stone, nor was it a fire illumination stone. Instead, it was an even more powerful heaven demonic fire spirit stone, a half-step earth grade treasure. ¡°Friend, how is it? Have you found anything?¡± The eight-armed demon beside Lin Mo asked. At the same time, he was shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s strength. A Dao fire of this level wasn¡¯t something he could possess. One could imagine Lin Mo¡¯s strength. It was worth befriending him. ¡°If it¡¯s a demonic fire stone, it¡¯s not bad. However, it¡¯s just a failed advancement demonic fire stone. Its interior is unstable and is about to shatter.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and took out the demonic fire stone. His words were very vague and there was nothing unusual. In the eyes of others, this was the product of a failed demonic fire stone advancement. ¡°I see. I thought it was a fire stone with dense fire elements.¡± Someone shook his head as the mystery in his heart was solved. ¡°Stall owner, sell these two treasures to me for three million. It¡¯s not a loss.¡± Lin Mo smiled. It was indeed not a loss, but it was not a loss for him¡­ ¡°Alright, then it¡¯s a deal.¡± The stall owner quickly agreed. Normal bright fire stones were not even worth a million. Now that Lin Mo was willing to pay a high price to buy them, he had also earned a profit. ¡°Then it¡¯s a deal.¡± Lin Mo handed over the Spirit Stones, took the Holy Spirit Flower and Sky Demon Fire Spirit Stones, and left. ¡°Friend, I haven¡¯t asked your name yet. Which faction are you from?¡± The eight-armed demon asked, no longer treating Lin Mo as an ordinary person and asking about his background. ¡°Hehe, thank you for your company. I still have something to do, so I have to leave.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t answer. He then pointed to a stall not far away, where there were many spirit pills with dim spiritual energy. The stall owner was very depressed. He knew that the spiritual energy of his spirit pills had dissipated, and he was already selling them at a discount. Seeing this, Lin Mo said to the eight-armed demon, ¡°Third from the left, Fifth Spirit Pill. It¡¯s not a loss to buy it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m from Purple Moon Palace. We¡¯ll meet again if we¡¯re fated.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared, leaving behind a wave of spatial fluctuations. The eight-armed demon jumped in fright, his mouth wide open. After being stunned for a moment, he walked towards the stall that he had just pointed at¡­ Chapter 445 - Wanted by the Thunder Sacred Land Nothing unexpected happened. However, what Lin Mo didn¡¯t notice was. Just as he revealed his powerful fire elemental energy, a peddler in the distance frowned. ¡°Using Dao Fire to appraise treasures, I seem to have heard the people above mention it before¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Mo was flying through the spatial tunnel, passing through the various cities of the Lu Jin divine dynasty. It took him a total of fifteen days before he finally arrived at the entrance of the Ghost Domain. ¡°It¡¯s just as the legends say. Although the Ghost Domain has an eerie ghost aura, its outer regions are rich in vitality.¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised because there were many spiritual herbs growing outside of the ghost domain that were more precious. There was a city nearby that relied on the ghost domain to survive. The powerful forces were the mercenary groups that dominated this place. This city didn¡¯t belong to the Lu Jin dynasty, nor did it belong to the great ancient God dynasty. It was independent and belonged to a few mercenary groups. ¡°The bounty on the bounty has increased. The Thunder Holy Land has issued a bounty for the Ghost Lair¡¯s old man. Anyone who can kill him will receive a seventh-grade spirit-grade magic tool.¡± Lin Mo had just entered the city when he heard the news nearby. The Bounty had a soul imprint on it. Lin Mo used his spiritual sense to check. He had received a lot of news. The Thunder Sacred Land¡¯s son, Ji Zixiao, had explored the ghost realm and was suspected to have obtained a supreme treasure. In the end, he was ambushed by the Ghost Lair¡¯s old man. After being heavily injured, Ji Zixiao used a teleportation talisman to escape, leaving behind a supreme treasure. Anyone who could kill the ghost lair old man and bring his corpse along with his perfect interspatial ring could go to the Thunder sacred land to receive the reward. The reward was a spirit rank 7 magic tool. ¡°The Thunder Sacred Land is really angry now. They¡¯re even willing to give out a spirit rank 7 magic tool.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Ji Zixiao had bought the map of the ghost domain back then, and it seemed like he had gone to explore it long ago. It was just that he had been injured by that so-called ghost lair old man. ¡°I just don¡¯t know what that treasure is.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo passed through the city and entered the ghost domain. He could still see quite a number of mercenaries fighting in the outer area. There were many demonic beasts in the ghost domain. Moreover, they were affected by the Ghost Qi. These demonic beasts were very powerful. If outsiders entered, they would be corroded by the Ghost Qi. If it was too long, they would even lose their lives. The Kun Peng spread its wings and flew inside. The Heavenly Dark Pearl was placed in front of him to resist the Ghostly Qi¡¯s corrosion. He recalled the map of the ghost region in his mind. The outer regions were only marked with some hidden dangers. Lin Mo did not pay much attention to the locations of some spirit herbs. The grade was a little low, so he did not care. He walked all the way until he reached the depths before he slowly stopped. At this moment, in front of him, there was a tree root with a diameter of a hundred meters. From the traces, it was cut off by a sharp sword. ¡°Ghost Locust tree, 10,000 years old. It¡¯s a pity that it was chopped off.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. This was one of the best treasures in this area, and the map showed the ghost locust tree. However, it had been chopped off. It seemed like it had been chopped off recently. ¡°This is a spirit rank 9 treasure. There hasn¡¯t been any news recently. Has Ji Zi found out about it, or is it the Ghost Lair¡¯s Old Man?¡± As he muttered to himself, Lin Mo raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck down, causing the ground below to crack. The map showed that there was an extremely evil jade buried under the Ghost Pagoda Tree. This was a half-step to Earth rank treasure. It was just that he did not know if it had been taken away. ¡°There¡¯s Yin Energy. Looks like it¡¯s still there.¡± After digging down for nearly a hundred meters, Lin Mo felt a cold and sinister aura. After digging down another 500 meters, Lin Mo saw a faint blue light in the tangled roots of the tree. When this light appeared, Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. ¡°Extreme Evil Jade Stone, half-step to Earth rank. It¡¯s about to advance to Earth rank. It¡¯s protected by the ghost locust tree.¡± Lin Mo whispered and put this extreme evil jade stone into the system space. Originally, there was danger here. Although the ghost locust tree itself was a supreme treasure, it also had the strength of a fifth sky of Nirvana realm. It couldn¡¯t be underestimated. It was shown on the map, but unfortunately, the ghost locust tree was cut down, and the precious ghost locust tree was also gone. ¡°Take half of the Great Dao, and I¡¯ll leave your roots behind.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice, and buried the excavated soil again, and buried tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit stones. The Extreme Evil Jade Stone was taken away by him, and the ghost locust tree might die without nutrients, but these spirit stones could help it to be reborn. However, it would take tens of thousands of years for it to grow to the same level as before. ¡°There¡¯s another place, the Resurrection Lotus. It has the effect of regenerating one¡¯s physical body. It¡¯s an Earth Rank 1 demonic beast, and it¡¯s enveloped by a world-shaking killing formation.¡± After finding his target, Lin Mo headed in another direction. During this period of time, he had killed quite a few demonic beasts, and the inner cores he obtained were all extraordinary. There was even a fifth sky of Nirvana Realm Demonic Beast, which was quite troublesome to kill. If it wasn¡¯t for the Heaven and earth pearl protecting him from the erosion of the ghost qi, he really wouldn¡¯t have been able to take down the other party so easily. After hurrying on his way, Lin Mo stopped in front of a terrifying killing formation. This was an earth grade killing formation, and the map that Lin Mo had obtained didn¡¯t indicate how to break it, so he could only rely on himself. ¡°I can¡¯t break it, my strength isn¡¯t enough.¡± After checking, Lin Mo frowned and found that it was very difficult to do. After observing, he found that there was a flaw in the formation, but it was still a bit dangerous to enter. He would encounter a certain degree of attack, but Lin Mo wasn¡¯t sure if his current physical body could withstand the attack. ¡°Let¡¯s try this drop of blood essence.¡± Lin Mo whispered. The eight-armed demon¡¯s blood essence could effectively temper his physical body. Now that his strength had broken through to the third sky of the Nirvana stage, his physical body could be improved a little. ¡°Normal people need to dilute the medicinal properties, but I don¡¯t need it. I still need to strengthen the effects.¡± With this thought in mind, Lin Mo left the ghost region and returned to the city outside the ghost region. Here, he took out a huge amount of spirit stones and bought spirit herbs from the vendors in the streets. All kinds of powerful spirit herbs were purchased. He spent hundreds of millions of middle-grade spirit stones and bought more than fifty spirit herbs. These were all rare and precious spirit herbs. If not for the fact that this place was close to the ghost region and was rich in resources, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to purchase all of them. Not daring to cultivate in the city, Lin Mo entered the forest to find a secret place to cultivate. Only then would he be able to raise his strength unscathed. However, his large scale purchase of spirit herbs still attracted the attention of all the mercenaries in the city. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for more than 50 spirit herbs to be bought in a day. Now that such a thing had happened, the mercenary group leaders naturally noticed it. This was also something that made Lin Mo very dissatisfied. If it was in the imperial city, other than creating a commotion, there wouldn¡¯t be any trouble. At least, that was the case in the city. However, in the forbidden grounds of the ghost region, it was different. ¡°You¡¯ve been following me for so long, aren¡¯t you planning to come out?¡±Lin Mo walked in the forest, his gaze gradually turning cold as he turned around to look behind him. That place was silent, without any movement. It was as if everything was just Lin Mo¡¯s illusion. ¡°HMPH, you¡¯re courting death.¡± Lin Mo said coldly as he raised his hand and a stream of sword Qi slashed down from the sky. In a dark corner, a blood-curdling scream was heard as fresh blood sprayed out. Following that, a severed limb flew out. ¡°Who sent you?¡±Lin Mo looked at the person in the shadows and asked. Chapter 446 - The Ghost Lair’s Old Man That person looked at Lin Mo in horror. Just as he was about to speak, an inch-long steel needle flew towards him from afar, ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Puff!¡± The steel needle pierced through that person¡¯s head, causing it to explode. A mixture of white and red rained down from the sky. At the same time, several more steel needles shot towards Lin Mo.. As he raised his hand, lightning flashed and destroyed all the steel needles. However, the aura that had just appeared in the distance had already disappeared. Looking at the aura that had disappeared, Lin Mo only frowned. Such decisiveness and killing intent. This person in the dark was truly vicious. However, he did not know where he came from. ¡°Looks like the ghost region isn¡¯t a good place either. The so-called city that offers deals is actually a savage place that eats people without spitting out their bones.¡± Shaking his head, Lin Mo turned around and left. He held his breath and used the spirit concentration mantra and the Kun Peng Wings. He flew through the forest and finally concealed all his aura. At the foot of a mountain peak, he dug out a cave dwelling. ¡°Eh, the aura of life is dense. It seems to be the same around the ghost domain.¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He originally thought that the underground might be filled with yin qi, but he didn¡¯t expect there to be such a dense aura of life. He released a copper cauldron and poured the spiritual spring into it. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the cauldron and infused the drop of blood essence into it. As soon as it appeared, the spiritual spring in the Copper Cauldron was tainted with a purplish-black color. At the same time, it was accompanied by a fishy smell. Lin Mo felt inexplicably agitated and wanted to fight with someone. ¡°What a dense baleful aura. It seems that if an ordinary person were to use it, they might not be able to withstand it and go crazy.¡± Lin Mo frowned. Even he felt irritated by this aura, and his soul was somewhat unstable. Forcing himself to calm down, Lin Mo took out spirit herbs one by one. The color of the spirit spring in the Copper Cauldron was gradually tainted, and Wisps of Mist appeared, covering Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°I still need to add some spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself, and took out a large number of spirit stones, placing them in the surroundings. He activated the god Devouring Art, and began to devour the energy within. ¡°So painful¡­¡± As waves after waves of massive energy poured into his body, Lin Mo¡¯s body began to tremble. This intense pain seemed as if it was going to crush his physical body. His soul wasn¡¯t spared, and he endured it together with his body. ¡°Eh? This blood essence isn¡¯t simple. The effect is very good.¡± Lin Mo was astonished. He had only just begun when he felt an abnormality. The spiritual energy in the world began to flow towards him spontaneously. Time passed, and with Lin Mo as the center, an energy vortex formed. This was all thanks to the god Devouring Art. He activated the god devouring body and forcefully devoured the energy within a thousand miles. It was extremely brutal. I have to speed up. This place will be exposed soon Lin Mo thought to himself. The God devouring art was operating faster, and the devouring speed was even faster. His physical body was also slowly becoming stronger. The treasured body in the bronze cauldron was solemn, emitting divine light, and was sacred and inviolable. Lin Mo did not move. His body was dripping with blood, but his entire body was glowing with golden light. This was a sign that his physical body had achieved great success. The spiritual energy from all directions continued to spread, surging towards this place. This scene was too shocking, to the point that even the mercenaries exploring the mountain could feel it. Some people received the news and deduced that it might be the person who had bought the spiritual medicine the last time refining pills. ¡°Lead the way and let the brothers who discovered it interrupt him. That person¡¯s background might not be simple.¡± A mercenary group leader said with a grave expression. Through some information, he knew that the person who bought the spiritual medicine might be Lin Mo. . Lin Mo¡¯s current status was very high. As long as he could kill him, the benefits he would receive would be unimaginable. In the copper cauldron, the spiritual spring had already bottomed out, and the medicinal properties within were about to be completely absorbed. Lin Mo gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain in his body while at the same time resisting the pain in his soul. By using this method to polish his body, his cultivation base had completely stabilized at the third sky of the Nirvana realm. His body was crystal clear and his soul was abundant. Now, he could even refine spirit stones and break through to the fourth sky of the Nirvana realm. However, even though Bai Luo kept paying attention to his foundation, Lin Mo still didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He fought steadily and steadily, allowing himself to stand firm at the third sky of the Nirvana realm. ¡°No wonder he had to neutralize the medicinal properties. He used the power of his blood essence to forcefully tear his body apart and then recombine it to become even stronger. If he wasn¡¯t careful, his body and soul would be destroyed¡­¡± When all the medicinal properties had been absorbed, Lin Mo let out a long breath. He had cultivated for three days. His body was constantly enduring pain. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that his body was extraordinary, he would have been destroyed by this scale of cultivation. ¡°Someone is coming¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned as he looked ahead. At this moment, the mountain peak where he was in seclusion was already surrounded by people. All of them had rushed over following the spiritual energy fluctuation. All of them stared at the bottom of the mountain peak with ferocious expressions. ¡°You dare to find trouble with me? You¡¯re all courting death.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression turned cold as he put on his clothes. A powerful aura spread out, and the mountain peak above exploded. The moment he appeared, three middle-aged men surrounded him. ¡°Young man, you are the one who is refining the spirit pills, right? Hand over three of them and we will forget about today¡¯s matter.¡± The three of them immediately demanded the spirit pills. They thought that Lin Mo was buying the spirit pills to refine the pills. ¡°Who are you? You are asking for the spirit pills from me. Could it be that your family owns this place?¡±Lin Mo sneered. ¡°Hehe, I know that you¡¯re Lin Mo, the Vice Palace Master of Purple Moon Palace, but you went on an adventure in the ghost region. Wouldn¡¯t it be a pity if you died in an accident?¡± The three middle-aged men looked at Lin Mo with sinister smiles. At this point, many people gathered around and approached Lin Mo with malicious smiles. ¡°You¡¯re well-informed. Can you tell us how you found out?¡± Lin Mo took off the bamboo hat on his head and looked at these people. He knew that he didn¡¯t give himself away. But now, he was exposed. When did this happen? Was it because he bought the spirit herbs? But there should be quite a number of people with such wealth. Why were they so sure that it was him? ¡°There are some things that are better not to even know about dead people.¡± The three middle-aged men sneered as they looked at Lin Mo. spiritual energy burst out from him. He was at the fifth sky of the Nirvana realm. To be able to rule a city near the ghost region, his strength was naturally not weak. ¡°Bang.¡± Seeing that there was no way for Lin Mo to get more information out of him, he turned his finger into a sword and slightly slashed out. Although his strength was only at the third sky of the Nirvana realm. However, the smiles on the three men¡¯s faces disappeared after this slash. ¡°Puff.¡± A bloody light surged out and they were sent flying. A sword scar appeared on their chests. No blood flowed out because the scorching flames had allowed the wound to heal. However, in the next moment, the Lightning on the sword scar exploded and the three of them were heavily injured in an instant. ¡°With your strength, you should not be able to recognize me. Who is the person behind this?¡±Lin Mo coldly said. ¡°What a neat trick. The Vice Palace Master of Purple Moon Palace really lives up to his reputation.¡± After a light laugh, the space behind the three of them split open, and a hunchbacked old man slowly walked out. His face was covered in scars, and he wore a straw hat. His entire body was emitting a foul smell. This appearance was exactly the same as the ghost lair old man on the wanted list of the Thunder Sacred Land¡­ Lin Mo nodded and finally understood the reason. ¡°I see, this is the reason why you weren¡¯t discovered by the Ming Lei Holy Land¡­¡± Chapter 447 - The mysterious expert of the Ghost Domain The three people who had wanted to make a move earlier were the controllers of the cities outside the ghost domain. However, they had always been hostile towards the outside world. In reality, the person who had been secretly controlling them had always been this old man from the ghost lair. ¡°But that¡¯s not right. How did you know that I¡¯m Lin Mo¡¯s?¡± He found something suspicious. This shouldn¡¯t be. He didn¡¯t reveal any flaws, so how did he find out. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before. There are some secrets that you shouldn¡¯t even tell a dead person.¡± The ghost lair old man sneered as he extended his shriveled palm towards Lin Mo. . A wave of power that carried the aura of death from the ghost domain continuously spread out, wanting to corrode Lin Mo. . Lin Mo extended his finger, and a powerful sword qi spread out. The Lightning and fire elemental energy spread out, emitting terrifying undulations. The ghost lair old man was shocked. Was this a genius? He was at the 6th Sky of the Nirvana stage, but it seemed like he couldn¡¯t even take a single move from the other party. ¡°Wait, let¡¯s drop this matter. This old man will leave now.¡± The ghost lair old man looked at his severed arm in shock. He couldn¡¯t be bothered to retrieve it. He took out a talisman and ran away. He was very straightforward. He didn¡¯t even care about his own subordinates and left just like that. ¡°What about you guys? How did you guys find me?¡±Lin Mo asked. The three mercenary group leaders broke out in cold sweat and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. The Ghost Lair¡¯s old man had already run away, what else could they do. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to talk.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Streams of sword Qi slashed down, killing the three mercenary group leaders. As for the others, he wasn¡¯t a bloodthirsty person. In any case, these people weren¡¯t a threat to him, so he didn¡¯t bother with them. Within the ghost region, within a ruin that was filled with ghost qi. The space rippled. This was the central region of the ghost region, and the surroundings were filled with formations. There were over a dozen people seated cross-legged in this place, presiding over the formation. If Lin Mo was here, he would be able to recognize them. There were tokens hanging on their waists, and they were members of the Secret Ghost sect. When the Ghost Lair Old Man was teleported here, he immediately came over to ask for help. ¡°Sir, Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength is very strong. I am no match for him. Please help me.¡± The depths of the ghost region were filled with Ghost Qi. It could corrode everything, but it could not corrode the people here. There was a mysterious aura on their bodies. It was very mysterious. In the middle of the formation, a skinny old man sat cross-legged. His pair of sharp eyes suddenly opened as he stared at the ghost lair old man. ¡°You can bring the others with you. I Can¡¯t leave.¡±The old man spoke with a hoarse voice that sounded like the voice of an undead. The ghost lair old man was startled when he heard this. He hurriedly said, ¡°Sir, Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength is too terrifying. I¡¯m afraid that we aren¡¯t his match.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. They can form a formation.¡±The old man spoke. The ghost lair old man didn¡¯t dare to disobey the old man¡¯s words. The others stood up and left with the ghost lair old man. ¡°Wait a moment, ghost lair, come over here.¡± Suddenly, the old man spoke again, as if he felt that these people were really not Lin Mo¡¯s match. The ghost lair old man did not speak. He walked over with a nervous expression. The old man in the middle gathered Ghost Qi with both of his hands and instantly erupted. A powerful force spread out. A ball of extremely dense ghost qi condensed and was sent into the ghost lair old man¡¯s Dantian by his palm. ¡°AH¡­ Ah!¡± The ghost lair old man let out a painful roar. The tearing pain made him think that he was going to die. In the end, the ghost qi dissipated. The ghost lair old man was fine, but he felt a thick ghost qi appear in his body. ¡°Sir, what is this?¡±The ghost lair old man was shocked. ¡°No need to ask. Go.¡± Hearing this, the ghost lair old man was skeptical, but he didn¡¯t dare to resist and left with these people. In a city outside the ghost domain, Lin Mo walked in with a bamboo hat on his head. He headed straight for his target and walked towards the headquarters of the three mercenary groups. After entering, he grabbed a person, asked for the location of the Treasury, broke its array formation, and walked in. ¡°With the ghost domain behind us, there are quite a lot of good things.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. The most valuable thing was the spirit rank rank 8 spirit herb, and it also had over 20 million mid-grade spirit stones. After collecting all the treasures, Lin Mo turned around and left, heading to the other two mercenary groups. After collecting all the treasures, he planned to enter the ghost region once again. However, before he could leave the city, he discovered that there were over a dozen people blocking his way. ¡°Young man, what ruthless methods. If you are tactful, then surrender. This old man can let you off.¡± The Ghost Lair¡¯s old man said coldly. He had just lost an arm to Lin Mo, but now he was like this, inexplicably gaining more confidence. The commotion here quickly attracted the people in the city, and many people paid attention to this place. ¡°It¡¯s the ghost lair¡¯s old man. I didn¡¯t expect him to really appear.¡± ¡°Who is the person confronting him? His aura is only at the third sky of the Nirvana realm.¡±Someone was shocked. ¡°You still dare to come back because you have confidence in your heart. Just based on these people?¡±Lin Mo mocked. The ghost lair old man snorted and said, ¡°Young man, don¡¯t be too arrogant. Don¡¯t think that just because you have a little talent, you can be arrogant.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything. He raised his hand and pointed. The Sword Qi surged and ruthlessly slashed toward the ghost lair old man. A fire snake appeared in the Sword Qi, followed by a thunder as thick as a bucket. The combination of the two was extremely terrifying. Even a sixth sky of the Nirvana realm couldn¡¯t resist it. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, a faint light exploded from the bodies of the people surrounding the ghost lair old man. The light connected and finally formed a formation that blocked Lin Mo¡¯s attack. ¡°What a mysterious formation. It can actually be engraved on a person¡¯s body.¡±The people in the city exclaimed. ¡°Rumble.¡± The Sword Qi exploded. Lin Mo took out the ancient sword of desolation and used the heaven-cleaving sword qi. The power of lightning and fire converged. This was an earth grade martial art. With this move, even a mountain could be flattened in an instant. Unfortunately, the opponent¡¯s array formation was still tenacious and blocked Lin Mo¡¯s attack. ¡°It¡¯s almost comparable to the defense of a seventh sky of Nirvana realm.¡± Lin Mo was moved. The Hidden Ghost sect was really a terrifying killer force. This kind of array formation was too mysterious. A purple light appeared under his feet, and a ray of divine light lit up. The Kirin Pattern Condensed, and without saying anything else, he charged towards the array formation. The purple light illuminated this area, and the secret ghost sect disciples were all enveloped by it. A bloody light surged out. ¡°Kacha.¡± The array formation was broken, and the Kirin steps did not lose any of its power. It ruthlessly stepped on the ghost lair old man¡¯s body. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The ghost lair old man was shocked. Just as he was about to gather his spiritual energy to resist, he was shocked to find that the Ghost Qi in his Dantian had unknowingly absorbed his spiritual energy. ¡°No¡­¡± With a shrill cry, Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed drastically. He spread his Kun Peng Wings and flew backward. A terrifying explosion was heard, and the earth shook and the mountains shook. The Ghost Qi that belonged to the ghost domain spread out and chased after Lin Mo. . Seeing this, Lin Mo took out the Dark Sky Pearl and blocked in front of him, directly destroying the Ghost Qi. ¡°What a ruthless method. A sixth sky of Nirvana realm expert just self-destructed like this.¡± Lin Mo stood on a mountain peak and looked at the thousand meter large crater behind him. Not only him, the others were also shocked and didn¡¯t understand why the ghost lair old man suddenly self-destructed. ¡°May I ask, are you the Vice Palace Master of Purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo?¡± Chapter 448 - Ji Zixiao’s injuries Chapter 448: Ji Zixiao¡¯s injuries When all the commotion had ended, a few cultivators dressed in luxurious clothing stepped forward. Men and women stood respectfully behind Lin Mo.. ¡°Who are you?¡±Lin Mo asked. ¡°We¡¯re the law enforcement team from Thunder Sacred Land. We were ordered to search for information on the ghost lair¡¯s old man.¡± These people replied. However, they did not need to collect any more information now because Lin Mo had already killed the ghost lair old man. The only thing that they did not understand was why the ghost lair old man had self-destructed right from the start. ¡°We were just following the flow. You guys can go back and report.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He was just about to turn around when he was stopped. ¡°Deputy Palace Master Lin, Please Wait.¡± The leader was a middle-aged man. He stopped Lin Mo and wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°If you want to say something, just say it. There¡¯s no need to hide it.¡±Lin Mo frowned. ¡°Vice Palace Master Lin is heading to the ghost region. If that¡¯s the case, can you help me find a treasure?¡± That person was a little embarrassed. Not long ago, Lin Mo was just a junior. Now, he had become the second-in-command of a large faction¡­ ¡°Tell me more. How am I supposed to find him if you don¡¯t tell me anything?¡± Lin Mo said unhappily. How was he supposed to find him if he did not tell him anything? ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Hearing this, the middle-aged man did not hide anything and secretly told him what had happened recently. ¡°Ji Zixiao is seriously injured and unconscious?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He knew how strong Ji Zixiao was. It was impossible for him to be seriously injured by just a ghost lair old man. Even if he was no match for Ji Zixiao, he could still escape and not fall unconscious. ¡°Did you find any symptoms?¡±Lin Mo asked. ¡°I did. It seems like a portion of the Holy Son¡¯s soul is missing. Forcefully waking him up would cause him to go into a stupor, so there hasn¡¯t been any treatment.¡± Hearing these words, Lin Mo finally understood. No Wonder Ming Lei Holy Land wanted to arrest the ghost lair¡¯s old man. It turned out that they wanted to find the missing portion of the soul. ¡°If I can find it, I can help.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had a good impression of Ji Zixiao. If he could help, he would definitely help. He wouldn¡¯t just stand by and watch. ¡°Thank you, Vice Palace Head Lin. If we can save the Holy Son, Ming Lei Holy Land will repay you with a gushing spring.¡± The few people bowed respectfully and watched as Lin Mo left, entering the ghost realm. According to the map, he once again arrived at the place where the Resurrection Lotus was located. This place was still protected by the world-shocking killing array. However, this time, Lin Mo had some confidence and found the weakest spot. This was the only chance, and Lin Mo was a little nervous. At this moment, he was wearing a magic tool armor. It was a spirit rank rank 8, and it was quite extraordinary. ¡°Success or failure depends on this one move.¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo leaped into the killing formation. In the next moment, the killing formation sensed his existence. It started to revolve, and terrifying rays of light slashed over. Lin Mo spread out his kun Peng Wings, dodging left and right, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, he was still hit in the end, and the magic weapon armor on his body shattered. Even Lin Mo was heavily injured. His body, which had just been tempered, was slashed out with a blood-red sword scar. ¡°What a terrifying sword aura, and this is the weakest part¡­¡± Lin Mo stood up with great difficulty, feeling a little fortunate. He passed through the killing formation, and in front of him was a pond filled with dense vitality. The sword scar on his body had been healed, and the spiritual spring in the pond contained a lot of spiritual energy of life. Lying within it, he felt very comfortable. ¡°Three resurrection lotuses. My Luck is very good.¡± After his injuries were healed, Lin Mo picked the three pure white lotuses in the middle of the pond and the three earth grade first grade spirit herbs. This little bit of injury was worth it. ¡°It¡¯s time to go to the next place.¡± He walked out of the killing formation with difficulty again. Lin Mo recalled the map in his mind and went to look for the next place. There was an earth grade magic tool buried there. Above it was the habitat of three sixth sky of Nirvana Realm Demonic Beasts. He wouldn¡¯t miss such a good thing, so he had to go and find it. After half an hour of traveling, Lin Mo successfully arrived at a steep mountain peak. With a raise of his hand, flames and lightning descended, and the mountain peak shattered, shaking the earth and mountains. ¡°Roar.¡± At the foot of the mountain, three gray rhinoceroses broke out from the ground, letting out deafening roars. ¡°Human, leave this place.¡± The demonic beast spoke in human language, its scarlet eyes glaring at Lin Mo. . ¡°Although you are very strong, we have never provoked you. Why are you disturbing us?¡±One of the rhinoceroses looked at Lin Mo. . From Lin Mo¡¯s body, it sensed danger. ¡°Big Brother, why are you talking so much to him? Barging into our territory, this is a provocation, this is courting death.¡± The other rhinoceroses roared in anger, roaring as they charged towards Lin Mo. . The horns of the rhinoceroses flickered with divine light, heading towards Lin Mo. . ¡°I wish to take away a magical artifact from the underground. If you allow me to do so, I can not make a move.¡± Lin Mo brandished his ancient sword of desolation. The sword light forced the rhinoceros back as he laughed. ¡°What¡¯s down there?¡±The rhinoceros that was called Big Brother opened its mouth and asked in puzzlement. They had lived here for hundreds of years and had never felt any treasures buried beneath them. ¡°This is none of your business. Let Me Take it away and we won¡¯t interfere.¡± Lin Mo said calmly. It would be a bit troublesome to deal with three sixth sky of Nirvana Realm Demonic Beasts and the enhancement from the ghost territory. After all, there was an unfamiliar enemy in the dark. The enemy might be from the secret ghost sect, the culprit behind the old man¡¯s self-detonation. He had to be careful. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. This is our territory. Even if there are treasures, they are still ours.¡± The Rhinos roared loudly, not intending to negotiate with Lin Mo.. Seeing this, Lin Mo was helpless. The Kun Peng spread its wings, and the purple divine light under its feet roamed. The fierce battle continued for half an hour. In order to ensure that he was in peak condition throughout the entire process, Lin Mo didn¡¯t use too much of the archaic divine beast remnant technique. The battle caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. The originally mountainous mountains here were now gone, and there were many ravines. ¡°Bang!¡± An enormous rhinoceros fell down, lying in the ravine. Fresh blood flowed out, dyeing the land red. ¡°Participating in more battles is beneficial to cultivation¡­¡± Lin Mo cleaned up the battlefield, and three inner cores were taken away. These three rhinoceroses were of the water attribute. His blood essence was useless, but it could be auctioned off. According to the map, he found a ravine and began to dig downwards. During the digging process, Lin Mo finally understood why the three rhinoceroses didn¡¯t notice the treasures below. If it weren¡¯t for the map, even Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t dare to believe it. He dug down for a full 30,000 meters. In the end, he fell into a sea of lava and found a scarlet pearl there. After storing it in the system space, the information of the pearl was transmitted over. [ divine fire pearl, first rank of the Earth realm. Only cultivators with the fire attribute can control it. It can greatly increase the fire element and get closer to the Dao. ] It was a magic tool that could be used to assist in cultivation, and it could also be used in battle. However, it was more of a support. Chapter 449 - Green Destiny Jade ¡°It¡¯s a little useless. Xiao Die herself is the purest fire element. She doesn¡¯t need any support.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. However, it was still an Earth Rank 1 magic tool, and it could be sold for quite a few spirit stones. After collecting it, Lin Mo left this place and prepared to head to the next place. ¡°That¡¯s the last place. It¡¯s an Earth rank 5 treasure.¡± On the way, Lin Mo carefully recalled the map and discovered that this was the last place. The other places were either complete killing formations or too dangerous. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t strong enough to explore them. However, when he arrived at his destination, he discovered a sallow and skinny old man sitting cross-legged in the center. He seemed to have expended a lot of energy, and was concentrating on breaking the formation. It was only when Lin Mo stepped in that he realized that he had turned around and revealed a terrifying smile. ¡°You¡¯re from the Secret Ghost Sect, right? May I know your status in the Secret Ghost Sect?¡± Lin Mo asked. This person should be the culprit behind the old man¡¯s self-detonation. However, he did not know if Ji Zixiao¡¯s missing soul was with him. ¡°I¡¯ve been searching for you for a long time, but I didn¡¯t find you at all. This old man has been waiting for you for a long time¡­¡± The old man let out a series of shrill laughter that sounded like the howls of a ferocious ghost. He pointed at the array flag and said, ¡°I thought you were killed by the explosion, so I¡¯m a little regretful. After all, the Soul Sacrifice Array still lacks a sliver of a soul as a sacrifice¡­¡± This was something he hadn¡¯t expected. He had thought that it was enough, so he had sent everyone away. He hadn¡¯t expected that the array would lack a sliver of a soul¡­ ¡°Soul Sacrifice Formation, what is that?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. He had never heard of such a formation. Could it be that he needed this kind of formation to obtain the treasures here? ¡°You don¡¯t need to know. Obediently become a sacrifice.¡± That old man snorted coldly, and his figure was like a ghost as he clawed at Lin Mo. . His speed was very fast, but it wasn¡¯t faster than the Kun Peng¡¯s wings. Lin Mo smoothly dodged the attack. ¡°Seventh sky of the Nirvana stage. Unfortunately, you¡¯re not in your peak condition.¡± Lin Mo laughed. He was very lucky. If the other party was in his peak condition, he could only turn around and run. But now, it was different. The other party had used up more than half of his spiritual power to set up the so-called soul sacrifice array. His current condition was very bad. He couldn¡¯t be Lin Mo¡¯s opponent. ¡°This is the legendary God devouring body?¡± The old man was shocked. He saw the black hole that appeared beside Lin Mo expand and cover the area. He felt the spiritual energy in his body gradually leaving his body. The spiritual energy in this area was decreasing and slowly entering Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°Your knowledge isn¡¯t bad. Can you tell me your identity?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Up until now, he still didn¡¯t know who the other party was. There was nothing he could do. He was a little inexperienced, and he had never heard of any famous experts. ¡°My Name, is it? Elder GUI, that¡¯s what the disciples in the sect call me.¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I¡¯m in charge of the Ghost Region Branch¡­¡± The old man smiled and took out a spirit pill to consume. After recovering most of his spiritual energy, he engaged in an intense battle with Lin Mo. . Lin Mo brandished the ancient sword of desolation, and the heaven-cleaving sword Qi exploded with flames and lightning, making this place extremely dazzling. However, Lin Mo¡¯s attacks had no effect on elder Gui¡¯s body at all. Every time the attacks landed, a layer of bone armor would appear on his body, absorbing most of the attacks. ¡°My ten thousand soul bone armor can not be broken even by attacks of the same level. You, junior, don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Crack.¡± Before elder Gui could finish his words, a crack appeared on his so-called ten thousand soul bone armor. In front of him, a wisp of purple divine light blossomed under Lin Mo¡¯s feet. He used the Kylin steps and shattered the ten thousand soul bone armor with just one attack. ¡°Old Man, your ten thousand soul bone armor isn¡¯t good enough. Do you have any more powerful moves?¡± Lin Mo mocked. The Kun Peng Wings pulled apart the distance, and a huge vermillion bird appeared behind him. ¡°Kylin, there¡¯s a Vermillion Bird?¡±Elder Gui was shocked. At this moment, he finally felt fear. Wasn¡¯t his most powerful move the ten thousand soul bone armor. However, in front of Lin Mo, he simply couldn¡¯t withstand a single attack. The Archaic Divine Beast¡¯s technique was too powerful, and its attack power was extraordinary. ¡°Old Man, your lifespan is up.¡± Lin Mo appeared in front of Elder Gui. In his palm, a ball of flame was compressed to the extreme before finally imprinting itself on the opponent¡¯s heart. ¡°Rumble.¡± The ten thousand soul bone armor only helped him block for a moment before it was unable to be reassembled after shattering. Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame formed by the four cloud piercers suddenly erupted and enveloped the other party within the Sea of flames. ¡°Argh!¡± A miserable shriek rang out. The cultivation technique that this ghost elder cultivated seemed to lean towards the cold and dark side. Facing the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame that was extremely yang and firm, it was absolutely restrained. Amidst the screams of pain, the ghost elder¡¯s body dissipated, not even leaving behind ashes. The surrounding Soul Sacrifice Formation also lost its effect after the formation¡¯s core was broken. ¡°Wu Wu¡­¡± Ghost-like cries rang out one after another. The Earth split open as numerous energy bodies flew out from below. Lin Mo could feel the fluctuations of the soul within. ¡°So many soul bodies¡­¡± He looked at the soul that had flown out, wanting to see if Ji Zixiao¡¯s soul was within it. However, he could not find it because the speed of the soul body was too fast. After it was freed from its restraints, it quickly disappeared. Some of the soul bodies were relatively weak and dissipated the moment they were released. In fact, they did not even move much. This made Lin Mo worry that Ji Zixiao, who only lacked a portion of his soul, would also dissipate like this¡­ ¡°Sigh, I don¡¯t have any tricks up my sleeves when it comes to souls. Brother Ji, I hope you¡¯re alright.¡± Lin Mo sighed. Although his spiritual sense was strong, it was only used to scan his surroundings and defend against soul attacks. He had no way to save Ji Zixiao, so he could only hope that Ji Zixiao was lucky. After the Soul Sacrifice Array was broken, Lin Mo looked down and saw a spatial crack. The so-called treasure was right below. ¡°It was marked on the map. How could he know to take it with him? Why did he set up the Soul Sacrifice Formation?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. This was very unusual. The map given to him by the system wouldn¡¯t be wrong. Could it be that the Ghost Elder¡¯s information was wrong? With this thought in mind, Lin Mo entered the spatial passageway. There were originally some formations inside that were quite dangerous. However, these were all broken by the Ghost Elder. In the deepest part of the passageway, there was a piece of jade that was half the height of a person. It was green in color. As it approached, specks of green light spread out, resisting Lin Mo and preventing him from advancing forward. ¡°A treasure that I¡¯ve never seen before¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered as he activated his spiritual energy and stopped three meters in front of the Jade Stone. He was unable to get close to it as the resistance was very strong. ¡°Retrieve!¡± With a low shout, he kept the jade stone into the system space. Hearing the voice from the system, Lin Mo finally understood why elder Gui wanted to set up the Soul Sacrifice Formation. [ the Green Nether Jade is a fifth rank earth grade treasure. It can be used to set up formations, forge weapons, and absorb spiritual energy directly. It contains an extremely huge amount of energy. ] [ however, to refine it, one needs an extremely powerful spiritual energy. Otherwise, it would be difficult to absorb spiritual energy from its body. ] Elder GUI should have wanted to absorb the green nether jade previously, but his spiritual energy was insufficient. Thus, he had set up the Soul Sacrifice Array, wanting to break the green destiny jade in this way and absorb the spirit energy. ¡°Earth rank 5. If I use it to auction, it will cause quite a stir.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly and decided to hold the auction after he returned. As long as the auction was successful, the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s resource problem would be solved, and he could also use the devouring God body to devour the returning treasures. ¡°I can go back now¡­¡± Chapter 450 - The Hidden Ghost Sect’s foundation Without much delay, Lin Mo turned around and left the ghost realm, intending to return to the Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Brother Lin, please wait.¡± Just as he walked out of the ghost realm, a beautiful figure flew over and called out to him. He saw a beautiful woman in front of him. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, as if she was a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. ¡°Saintess Xia You?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. How could he meet Saintess Xia you everywhere? If he did not know that the other party was not that kind of person, he would even suspect that Saintess Xia you was following him¡­ ¡°I heard that brother Lin killed the ghost lair¡¯s old man. Did you also kill the Ghost Elder in the Ghost Realm?¡± Saintess Xia you laughed lightly. With a wave of her hand, a ball of light appeared in her hand. It was a faint ball of light, but Lin Mo was very familiar with it. It belonged to Ji Zixiao¡¯s soul. ¡°I was invited by the Thunder Sacred Land to rescue fellow Daoist Ji Zixiao¡¯s soul. Unfortunately, I was a step too late.¡± The reason she was a step too late was because Ji Zixiao¡¯s soul had already been saved. Now that Lin Mo was standing there unscathed, it was likely that elder Gui had also been killed. ¡°It¡¯s not too late. Brother Ji¡¯s soul is weak, so it¡¯s safer with the Saintess taking him back,¡±Lin Mo cupped his hands and said. ¡°I heard that the Secret Ghost sect has a branch here, and it¡¯s hidden in the ghost realm. Since brother Lin killed the ghost elder, it doesn¡¯t make sense for you not to take the treasures from the branch.¡± Saintess Xiyou smiled and told Lin Mo that there were still treasures hidden in the ghost realm. ¡°Oh, what good things are there?¡±Lin Mo was interested. The map of the ghost domain recorded treasures that were naturally formed or passed down from ancient times. There were no records of such man-made treasure troves. ¡°It might not be as good as brother Lin¡¯s collection, but it¡¯s still eye-catching. Brother Lin, why don¡¯t you come with me?¡±Saintess Xia you invited. ¡°Can you be more specific? If it¡¯s not a necessity, then I won¡¯t fight with the Holy Maiden over it,¡±Lin Mo said with a smile. He didn¡¯t seem to mind. Hearing this, the Xia you holy maiden laughed lightly and spoke slowly. ¡°Fellow Daoist Ji Zixiao obtained a painting scroll in the ghost domain. It seems to contain the true essence of the Lightning Attribute Dao.¡± Her spiritual sense was sharp, and she discovered that Lin Mo still carried the power of the Lightning attribute. This made her surprised. After not seeing him for a while, Lin Mo¡¯s strength had become even stronger. Right now, she was at the fourth sky of the Nirvana realm, and she was still able to suppress Lin Mo. however, the gap between them was getting smaller and smaller. ¡°Only this? This kind of treasure seems to only be able to be comprehended once.¡± Lin Mo said. Saintess Xia you had the wind and lightning attribute, so it shouldn¡¯t be to the extent of giving it up. ¡°There¡¯s also a scroll of wind attribute dao principles that the hidden ghost sect brought to the Divine Secrets Sacred Land and asked the sacred lord of the sacred land to do something for them.¡± From these words, Lin Mo obtained useful information. Even if the hidden ghost sect¡¯s strength wasn¡¯t as strong as the Divine Secrets Sacred Land, it wasn¡¯t much weaker. Otherwise, these fellows wouldn¡¯t have any reason to give away the treasures that came to their doorstep. The scroll containing the wind attribute dao principles was extremely precious. If it was comprehended by a genius with astonishing talent, their strength would have a qualitative leap. ¡°But I still have some matters to attend to. Saintess, why don¡¯t you go explore on your own?¡±Lin Mo shook his head and said. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The place that Saintess Xia you had invited him to might be an extremely dangerous place. ¡°There¡¯s also an Earth rank magic weapon longsword there. It¡¯s at least at the 2nd rank of the Earth rank.¡±Saintess Xia you said with a frown. At this moment, even Lin Mo had no way of ignoring it. Although the ancient desolation sword was a very good magic weapon, a growth type magic weapon, the amount of energy required to advance to the Earth rank was too huge. He still had to cultivate, and the Purple Moon Palace needed spirit stones to develop, so he couldn¡¯t afford to consume them. This was also the reason why he had been using the spirit rank rank 9 desolation ancient sword. The original Earth rank magic weapon was created by an expert who surpassed the Nirvana realm. If an ordinary person wanted to refine it, the difficulty could be imagined, and it would definitely be extremely difficult. This time, Lin Mo had no way to refuse. As long as he auctioned off the Earth rank magic weapon, he would be able to obtain a better one. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I can make a trip. Of course, Saintess, please fulfill your promise and really give me these two treasures.¡± Saintess xiyou nodded. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, she could only agree. Losing an earth-grade magic artifact still made her heart ache. The central area of the ghost region was a place that Lin Mo had never set foot in before. It belonged to the deeper regions. This was originally the headquarters of the Secret Ghost sect. However, because the array formation buried underground was gradually recovering, they had no choice but to relocate. Even so, they still sent the ghost elder to guard this place. Along the way with Saintess Xia you, there was a small courtyard in a gloomy graveyard. However, this place was protected by an array formation, and the array flag was a pile of graves in the surroundings. It was very strange. Only now did Lin Mo understand why Saintess Xia you would invite him here. This array formation would summon a terrifying giant beast. Its combat strength was close to the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm, and its body carried an extremely corrosive ghost qi. This kind of powerful formation was very troublesome for Saintess Xia you to deal with alone, and she needed the help of another person. The two of them worked together, and Saintess Xia you held back the giant beast. Lin Mo found the right time and burned the graves one by one. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, flames surged into the sky, and the power of wind and thunder enveloped the world. The fierce battle lasted for an hour, and Lin Mo broke the last grave. He pulled out all the formation flags, and only then did he break the formation. As soon as he broke through, the Ghostly Qi in the area started to spread. Lin Mo took out the heavenly dark pearl and chased away the ghostly qi. In the small courtyard, there was a jade-blue grass. It was three inches tall and had seven leaves. It looked as if it was carved out of jade and was shining brightly. It grew here and rippled with blue ripples. ¡°Half-step earth grade spiritual grass, jade-blue sea.¡± On the other side of the grass, there was another plant. After sensing that the Ghostly Qi had dissipated, it quietly bloomed and its flowers were dazzling. Golden liquid flowed from the pistil of the flower. This kind of fragrance was incompatible with the surrounding ghostly qi. ¡°Half-step earth rank spirit herb, Golden Heart.¡± Lin Mo was extremely shocked. He felt that he had lost out a little. Although the two scrolls and the Earth rank magic tool were still the most precious items. However, there were spirit herbs all over the place. If he auctioned them all, he would be able to obtain even more spirit stones. ¡°There are also three ice crystal ginsengs. They are of the ninth rank of the spirit rank. They are very extraordinary.¡± Saintess Xia you was astonished. These things were very rare, and the conditions for their growth were very harsh. She had never thought that the secret ghost sect would be able to grow them here. The fragrance assailed her nostrils. Lin Mo looked over and indeed, he saw three ginsengs on a piece of land. They were ice blue in color, and the leaves on them were blue as well. It was very mystical. This type of ginseng had extremely good medicinal effects. It could calm one¡¯s mind and recuperate, far surpassing other ginseng plants. Just these three ice crystal ginseng plants alone could be sold for a high price of over 60 million. ¡°The hidden ghost sect¡¯s methods are really amazing. There¡¯s more here.¡± Lin Mo cried out in surprise. This time, he was truly shocked. In the deepest part of the medicinal field, there was a small grass that was as long as an index finger. It was dark green in color and swayed with the wind. It looked ordinary, but as the breeze blew past, this small grass actually emitted the heavenly sound of the Great Dao. Just hearing this, Lin Mo felt his mind clear, as if he wanted to comprehend the Great Dao. ¡°This is the luck dao grass, and it¡¯s still a seedling. However, it also belongs to the first rank of the Earth rank.¡± Chapter 451 - Discussion Saintess Xia you was shocked because even the Divine Secrets Holy Land didn¡¯t have the Luck Dao grass. It was obvious how rich the Hidden Ghost Sect¡¯s foundation was. As long as one sat cross-legged next to the luck dao grass and cultivated, one¡¯s comprehension of the dao principles would be even more thorough. One¡¯s speed would also be much faster. It was a rare treasure in the world. ¡°Brother Lin, you should be able to keep your promise, right?¡±Saintess Xiyou said. According to the agreement, Lin Mo would only take the Earth grade second rank magic tool long sword, the scroll containing the Lightning Dao principles. The rest of the treasures belonged to Saintess Xiyou. ¡°I will naturally do what I promised.¡±Lin Mo sighed and didn¡¯t break the agreement. Without Saintess xiyou, he wouldn¡¯t have these gains. Hearing this, Saintess Xia you nodded and smiled, ¡°Brother Lin, you have contributed a lot. How about this, I will give you a blue sea and an ice crystal ginseng.¡± She also made some concessions and gave Lin Mo some benefits. When she saw the fate grass, she was really worried that Lin Mo would fight over it. When the time came, she would destroy this precious spiritual grass. ¡°Thank you, but I have a better suggestion.¡± Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and shook his head. ¡°Please speak, brother Lin.¡± Saintess Xia you waved her hand and walked towards the fate grass. She dug out this precious spiritual grass along with the soil and placed it in a jade box. After putting it away, she heaved a sigh of relief. The value of this fate grass was no less than the two scrolls. ¡°This scroll containing the Lightning Dao law will be used for the auction. When the time comes, Saintess, please come and participate.¡± As soon as these words were said, Holy Maiden Xia you was shocked as she looked at Lin Mo.. ¡°Brother Lin, aren¡¯t you being a little too arrogant? The laws of lightning aren¡¯t that easy to comprehend.¡± ¡°Moreover, you¡¯ve only just started. Giving up such an opportunity just for Spirit Stones?¡± In her opinion, Lin Mo¡¯s actions were a little foolish. Although the advancement of one¡¯s realm was important, the comprehension of the laws of lightning was even more important. This was related to one¡¯s foundation, the foundation of one¡¯s cultivation, and the key to the strength of a Nirvana stage fighter. Lin Mo¡¯s action was because he thought that his talent was so great that he could comprehend it in a short period of time? ¡°Naturally, there are requirements. Saintess, hear me out.¡±Lin Mo waved his hand. He stated his requirements, wanting Saintess Xia you to bring the luck grass and other spirit herbs to auction. ¡°Impossible.¡±Saintess Xia you shook her head, rejecting Lin Mo¡¯s request. It was impossible to auction off the luck grass. There might only be one of such rare treasures in the eastern continent. It was too difficult to find it. Once it appeared, all the powers in the eastern continent would go crazy. ¡°Even if there¡¯s a disturbance, it¡¯ll be in the Purple Moon Palace. Saintess, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°As for the Luck Grass, you can bid for it. Just give me a commission for how much you bid.¡± ¡°The same goes for the other spirit herbs. How about it?¡± Seeing that Saintess Xia You was still hesitating, Lin Mo continued to increase his bargaining chip, willing to sell the Earth rank 2 long sword he was about to obtain. ¡°Of course, whether or not you can get it depends on saintess. I can give you a 20% discount.¡± Lin Mo smiled. With so many benefits being given out, Saintess Xia you would definitely not lose out. However, seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Lin Mo frowned. Could it be that the value of this luck grass was even higher than he had imagined? ¡°Do you know why I Killed Elder Gui?¡±Lin Mo asked again. ¡°Why?¡±Saintess Xia you asked cautiously. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he walked around the small courtyard and kept the treasures that belonged to him. It was the same for Saintess Xia you. Both sides were at each other¡¯s places, and they were worried that the treasures would be damaged during the battle. ¡°Speak.¡± After collecting the treasures, Saintess Xia you asked. Lin Mo pulled apart the distance. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the green destiny jade that he had obtained previously. This was an earth rank rank 5 supreme treasure. In terms of value, it wasn¡¯t inferior to the fate grass. Of course, it was comparable to this young luck grass. ¡°This is the legendary Green Nether Jade?¡±Saintess Xia you was shocked. Seeing this treasure, she immediately thought of many things. Ji Zixiao¡¯s soul was missing, and there were also countless souls that had appeared from the ghost realm. ¡°Is it a soul sacrificial array?¡±She guessed. Everything made sense. Elder GUI had discovered the green nether jade and wanted to refine it to break through. Unfortunately, the Qingming jade required a large amount of soul energy to break through. Hence, he set up a formation related to the soul. After Elder Gui was killed by Lin Mo, the formation was broken and his soul returned. The Qingming Jade also fell into his hands¡­ ¡°As long as the Holy Maiden agrees, this will be the final auction item.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He didn¡¯t believe that the other party wouldn¡¯t be moved by this. The Qingming jade contained a large amount of energy. The Immortal Ascension platform was a great help that couldn¡¯t be missed. ¡°Can you tell me your purpose?¡± Saintess Xia you asked. The Green Nether Jade¡¯s restrictions were ineffective against the devouring divine body. Lin Mo could completely devour it himself. There was no need to auction it. This was a doubtful point¡­ ¡°Secret. Saintess, do you agree?¡± Lin Mo asked again. This was already the last trump card he could take out. If it was a bit more precious, then it would be the incomplete technique of an archaic divine beast¡­ ¡°Alright, I agree. I just wonder when brother Lin plans to hold the auction?¡± Saintess Xia you asked and agreed to Lin Mo¡¯s request. ¡°Depending on the situation, at least two months, at most half a year.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, he didn¡¯t stay at this place and planned to leave. Before he left, Saintess Xia you reminded Lin Mo that the spirit herbs here were bred from the Ghost Territory and contained Special Ghost Qi. If brought out, it would grow in large quantities and require a ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert to nourish it with his own blood essence. ¡°Within ten days, if you don¡¯t use your blood essence to nourish them, the spirit herbs will be exhausted.¡± Lin Mo whispered. This also indirectly indicated why the secret ghost sect didn¡¯t move the nurturing location. With this layer of restriction, Lin Mo didn¡¯t dare to stay too long. He returned as quickly as possible and finally arrived at the Purple Moon Palace on the ninth day. ¡°Aunt, please.¡± Lin Mo handed the spirit herbs he obtained to qiluo. This was the first time Qi Luo had seen such a situation, and she was in a difficult position. ¡°Miss Bai Luo said that within half a year, there might be some unforeseen circumstances that could happen at any time. She wanted me to maintain my peak at all times¡­¡± They firmly believed Bai Luo¡¯s words because she came from the southern continent and had an immortal foundation expert. ¡°Is that so¡­¡±Lin mo frowned. was there not enough time¡­ . ¡°You refined it, right? You just happen to have the devouring God body, so try to break through to the fourth sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± Qiluo advised him to let Lin Mo devour it himself and not auction it off¡­ ¡°Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have sold it to Saintess Xia you in advance¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The spiritual energy obtained from devouring spirit herbs was far inferior to the equivalent spirit stones. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have accepted the gift from Saintess Xia You¡­ He found a secret chamber and began his seclusion in the Purple Moon Palace. In the secret chamber, there were over ten million middle-grade spirit stones and two precious spirit herbs. ¡°It just so happens that I¡¯ve devoured some useless treasures.¡± Lin Mo muttered as he activated the god Devouring Art. A black hole spread out, and spiritual energy continuously gathered around Lin Mo¡¯s body. At the same time, his aura continued to rise. Chapter 452 - The appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation Chapter 452: the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation During this period of time, there were a few times when he ran out of spirit stones. Qi Luo, who was standing guard outside, sensed it and sent him spirit stones in a timely manner. This time, Lin Mo had used up a lot of treasures. He had used up 800 million middle-grade spirit stones and nearly 100 spirit herbs. This time, he had emptied the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s collection. Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo exited their cultivation and shook their heads helplessly. Under Bai Luo¡¯s arrangements, the three armies had all restarted their cultivation, which had consumed a huge amount of energy. There were even some people who had fallen behind in their cultivation realms because they didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones. For a time, they were filled with complaints. Even the strongest purple spirit guards had some opinions about Bai Luo. Right now, the strongest trump card of the Purple Moon Palace, other than the Qiluo, was the purple spirit guards. However, their self-destructive cultivation had weakened the purple spirit guards¡¯combat strength. And now, Lin Mo had used up all the spirit stones he had been cultivating. ¡°This guy has been cultivating for three months and devoured so many spirit stones¡­¡± Bai Luo had also heard about the opinions of the three armies. She felt helpless. ¡°Has he not woken up yet? There are no more spirit stones for him to devour¡­¡±Qi Luo said worriedly. Bai Luo did not answer. Instead, she looked at the sky with a solemn expression. ¡°Wake up all the people cultivating in the Purple Moon Palace. The chaos that you have been concerned about is here.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the first person to make a move was the underground secret chamber. Lin Mo¡¯s figure was bathed in lightning and flames. He used his devouring power to harmonize and perfectly merge the two daos. His aura had also reached the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage, crossing two realms in one go. However, what greeted him was not the cheers of the crowd. A terrifying heavenly lightning struck down without any warning and ruthlessly struck Lin Mo¡¯s body. In just an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and bolts of lightning as thick as a bucket spread across the clouds. Everyone in Purple Moon Palace was shocked. This kind of destructive fluctuation was too terrifying. ¡°Miss Bai Luo¡­ what is that?¡±Qiluo¡¯s body trembled as she looked at the Thunderclouds in the sky. This kind of heavenly power seemed to be able to destroy everything. Under the Heavenly Lightning, everything was like an ant. ¡°The thing that the eastern continent has lacked since ancient times, the Heavenly Tribulation!¡± Bai Luo was solemn. This familiar aura made her feel uneasy. She muttered, ¡°Every time a cultivator breaks through, they are competing with the heavens. How can they not endure the heavenly punishment?¡± She looked at everyone in purple moon palace and slowly said, ¡°This is only the beginning. The shackles have disappeared, and the heavenly punishment has appeared ¡°The heavenly tribulation that you lack when you break through will come for you ¡°This is also why I told you to focus on your foundation and sever your cultivation base to cultivate again.¡± This was because this was the only way to increase your battle prowess when you were at a low realm. Only then would you be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation perfectly. If you couldn¡¯t withstand it, then you would have to die. There was no other way¡­ ¡°Miss Bai, I¡¯m sorry¡­ We¡­¡± Some of the commanders of the three armies were filled with guilt. Earlier, they had been displeased with Bai Luo because he had severed their cultivation. However, only now did they realize that he was really helping them cultivate¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The first ones whom the heavenly tribulation finds are those with extraordinary talents. Those with unique constitutions and unique living beings are the first to suffer.¡± ¡°You still have time to cultivate. Let¡¯s wait for this fellow to Get You Spirit Stones.¡± Bai Luo didn¡¯t mind. Although these soldiers were complaining, they were all following orders, which made her very satisfied. In the sky above the Purple Moon Palace, Thunder rumbled and heavenly might spread. Lin Mo frowned. He had also heard the conversation between Bai Luo and the others. The doubts in his heart were solved. He finally understood the reason why Luo had always paid attention to the foundation. ¡°This lightning tribulation is a little too strong¡­¡± Lin Mo said bitterly. There was heavenly lightning in this world, and he had never heard of it before. ¡°Kacha!¡± A bolt of lightning flashed and exploded in the air, illuminating the entire sky. Heavy rain poured down, and black clouds covered the city. It seemed very oppressive, as if the end of the world had arrived. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled from time to time, and it was very terrifying. ¡°Hey, why aren¡¯t you leaving? Are you planning to destroy the Purple Moon Palace?¡± Bai Luo shouted from below, telling Lin Mo to leave as soon as possible. If not, when the heavenly lightning strikes down, the Purple Moon Palace would no longer exist. Although it could be defended against, it was equivalent to interfering with the heavenly punishment. The consequences would be very severe. Those who interfered would suffer the same heavenly punishment. Upon hearing this, Lin Mo hurriedly left the place and flew towards the depths of the mountain range, standing on top of a mountain peak. He looked up at the sky alone, watching as the heavenly tribulation continued to condense. The dark clouds gradually pressed down. He was already prepared to face the heavenly tribulation head-on. At the same time, he also wanted to use the heavenly lightning to temper his body, making his foundation more solid and more condensed. ¡°Rumble.¡± The sound of Thunder rang out, and the wild beasts in the mountain range galloped. Sensing that the atmosphere wasn¡¯t right, they scattered and fled in all directions. The huge towering trees swayed in the violent winds, and the grass and trees churned as they were swept up. Some of the large trees collapsed, especially near Lin Mo¡¯s side. The violent winds howled, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, and the earth trembled. This was the might of the heavens, and the wrath of the heavens. Lin Mo¡¯s robes fluttered in the violent winds as he stood on the mountain peak. His expression was calm, without the slightest ripple. ¡°Is it here¡­¡± The dark clouds were less than a hundred meters away from Lin mo. a bolt of lightning struck down and spread out in all directions, ruthlessly striking towards Lin Mo. . Lin Mo did not act rashly. He even restrained his spiritual energy and used his physical body to withstand this attack. His physical body had undergone constant re-cultivation and the destruction of his devouring God body had long reached the peak. This bolt of lightning did not succeed and was easily blocked by Lin Mo. . And under the tempering of the lightning, his body had become a little stronger. It was only a little bit, but it was very rare. ¡°Chi!¡± Lightning arcs flashed, and another bolt of lightning struck down. The power was even greater, and the mountain under Lin Mo¡¯s feet instantly shattered. Even he himself couldn¡¯t withstand it. Bloody marks appeared, and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. His body smashed heavily into the ground, creating many cracks, and fresh blood flowed out from the wounds. This was a true Lightning Dao law, a heavenly might that contained the most powerful lightning. ¡°Rumble.¡± Large amounts of lightning descended, smashing heavily onto Lin Mo¡¯s body. At this moment, he didn¡¯t dare to be careless, and circulated his spiritual power. He blocked all of these attacks, not a single lightning bolt striking his body. The surroundings of the ground turned into fine powder, and the strength of the heavenly lightning increased once again. If this continued, Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t be able to easily deal with it. ¡°It should be because the heavenly tribulations of the previous few great realms have come together. That¡¯s why they are so powerful.¡± He said in a low voice. It was too dangerous. Even he felt the pressure. How would the others deal with it? The eastern continent had experienced a lapse in generations, and the inheritances and information had been cut off. The Heavenly Tribulation had not appeared, and now it had appeared once again. It really was as the saying went, chaos had begun. Half of the eastern continent¡¯s cultivators would probably die under the heavenly tribulation. The calm had been broken, and now the heavenly tribulation was even more terrifying. Lin Mo did not obediently submit. The Kun Peng spread its wings and flew up, being struck by bolts of lightning. His body was dripping with blood as he stood in mid-air. The God Devouring Art activated the god devouring body, devouring the surrounding lightning. At this moment, his understanding of the laws of lightning became more and more proficient. He walked under the heavenly tribulation with ease. But this moment will not last long, the heavenly tribulation riot, will descend the most terrible heavenly thunder. Chapter 453 - The First Heavenly Tribulation of the eastern continent This was especially the case for him. This was the first time that the accumulated heavenly tribulation had completely descended, like a flood breaking through a dam¡­ Lin Mo took a deep breath and resisted the heavenly lightning with great difficulty. He had already begun to use the heaven-cleaving sword qi. Lightning and flames howled and helped him resist. ¡°Break!¡± He shouted and the ancient desolate sword slashed down with all its might, splitting apart the lightning in front of him. However, in the next moment, a red light appeared and a demonic lightning appeared. It was red in color and extremely fast. In an instant, it struck Lin Mo¡¯s back. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings were shattered and blood splattered everywhere. ¡°What is this?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This lightning was too fast and seemed to have intelligence. It knew to attack the Kun Peng¡¯s wings first. ¡°The temperature has changed.¡± He raised his head and looked up. The sky was abnormal. The clouds were no longer black, but blue and red. Gradually, icicles fell, bringing with them cold air. They hit the god devouring body¡¯s domain, causing Lin Mo to be on the verge of collapse. Apart from that, there were flames spreading out from the red clouds. Huge fire snakes drilled out, spitting out flames and burning everything. ¡°It can¡¯t be¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He was already stunned. The Heavenly Tribulation wasn¡¯t just heavenly lightning. There was also ice and flames. Could there be other things? In his confusion, he had no choice but to give it his all. Fortunately, he had the divine devouring body, so he could keep up with the consumption of spiritual energy. After a fierce battle, the ancient sword of the desolation cut off those fire snakes. The blue and red clouds were once again covered by lightning. However, the power of the Heavenly Lightning had also increased, and it was extremely terrifying. He didn¡¯t dare to be careless. The Kun Peng¡¯s wings were once again brewed, and in the end, he even used the Kirin steps and the cloud piercing four break. This was a test of life and death. If it was an ordinary person, they would have long been reduced to ashes. Any of these heavenly lightning bolts could kill a seventh sky of Nirvana realm expert. Lin Mo stood unmoving under the sky, standing tall and firm. However, this didn¡¯t last long. His body was full of lightning, which was all devoured by the devouring God body. It was very risky because if this continued, Lin Mo would explode and die. Even the devouring God body would need some time to refine after devouring so much energy. However, he didn¡¯t have the mood to cultivate in seclusion. He could only guide the Lightning to refine his body again and again. ¡°Thousands of lightning bolts temper my body. Bathing in the heavenly lightning will allow me to become the strongest physical body¡­¡± Lin Mo faced the heavenly tribulation head-on, exhausting his strength. At the same time, he also comprehended more and more Lightning Dao laws. In the end, his entire body was covered in injuries. He was on the verge of dying from the heavenly lightning bolts. His entire body was charred black, and some of his flesh had already fallen off. However, at this moment, his eyes were emitting a bright light. A powerful wave of essence energy and spirit was being emitted, and the power within his body was erupting. It was just like refining a weapon, using a fire to refine, cleanse, and remove impurities, leaving behind only the essence. This was the true strength of a physical body. After being tempered over and over again, the soul and physical body underwent a metamorphosis. Lin Mo¡¯s body was slightly itchy, and golden light erupted from his body. His old skin peeled off, and a brand new skin appeared. His eyes were shining brightly, and his soul power had also increased. At this moment, his physical body had been strengthened, even more thoroughly than when he had used the true Phoenix Nirvana cultivation method. This was the true nirvana. At the last moment, the heavenly tribulation dissipated. Because he knew that he couldn¡¯t do anything to Lin Mo, he no longer sent down the divine punishment. ¡°I¡­ Successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation?¡± Lin Mo whispered. The thunder clouds had already dispersed, and his current realm had also reached the fifth sky of the Nirvana realm. Moreover, he was at the peak of this realm. After refining some spirit stones, he would be able to break through to the sixth sky. Recalling the experience just now, he had fought his way back from the gates of hell more than once. Although he had broken his bones and broken his meridians many times, he still managed to survive tenaciously¡­ ¡°But¡­ why did the heavenly tribulation appear, and the first person it found was me?¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. He returned to the Purple Moon Palace and reported to everyone that he was safe. ¡°Lin Mo. .¡± A sweet fragrance assailed her nostrils. Jiang Xiyue was extremely worried. She came to Lin Mo¡¯s side and only felt relieved when she saw that he was fine. Lin Mo wrapped his arms around Jiang Xiyue¡¯s waist. Being missed so much made his heart feel very warm. ¡°Just now, that mountain range was too terrifying. We all thought that you¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue was smiling, but her tears were wet. This was the first heavenly tribulation in the eastern continent, and it was bound to be extremely terrifying. When she heard from Bai Luo that Lin Mo was doomed, she couldn¡¯t accept it and felt sad. However, when Lin Mo appeared again, his hope was ignited, and he was finally relieved. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be so sad.¡± Bai Luo and the others watched helplessly. They were also worried about Lin Mo¡¯s tribulation. It was good that he could come back safely. ¡°When I broke through to the spirit gathering realm and the Dragon Transformation Realm, I also passed the Heavenly Tribulation. However, I only passed a Hundred Heavenly Thunders.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to add fire and ice to the heavenly tribulation¡­¡± This surprised her. Perhaps it was because Lin Mo had devoured the god body, so the heavenly tribulation came to her first. This special physique would attract the jealousy of the heaven, and even the heaven would be destroyed. ¡°I hope that our tribulation won¡¯t be so terrifying¡­¡± Qiluo was a little worried as she looked at the three armies of Purple Moon Palace. This was the foundation of their foundation. If they suffered heavy casualties in the heavenly tribulation, the losses would outweigh the gains. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They are all ordinary cultivators and don¡¯t have any special physiques. The heavenly tribulation won¡¯t be so ridiculous.¡± Bai Luo comforted her. What she had to worry about were people like Jiang Xiyue, Lin Die, and Saintess Xia you. They were either gifted or had special physiques. Regardless of whether they were in the innate or acquired realm, they would face an even stronger heavenly tribulation. ¡°Go and cultivate. During this period of time, the heavenly tribulation will appear one after another in the eastern continent.¡± Jiang Xiyue ordered everyone in the Purple Moon Palace to seize the time to cultivate. Then, she looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°Oh right, you¡¯ve squandered all the resources of the Purple Moon Palace. There are no more spirit stones left.¡± Now, if he wanted to earn spirit stones, he would have to rely on Lin Mo to auction off the treasures on him. ¡°Alright, let Yue Xuan release the news. The grand finale this time is the Earth rank fifth level Green Destiny Jade.¡± Lin Mo said. It had been so long since he had promised Saintess Xia you to auction off the jade. It was time to cash it in. ¡°Earth Rank Fifth Level Green Destiny Jade?¡± Jiang Xiyue and the others were all stunned. They looked at Lin Mo suspiciously. ¡°Why are you all looking at me like that?¡± Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like that. He scratched his head. Qiluo said first, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to directly absorb the Qingming Jade? The spiritual energy contained in it is equivalent to billions of middle-grade spiritual stones.¡± If she had known that Lin Mo had the Qingming Jade, she wouldn¡¯t have mobilized so many spiritual stones from the Purple Moon Palace¡­ ¡°Ahem, this was promised to Saintess Xiyou for the auction. There¡¯s no need to use it.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly. However, he had been in seclusion for three months. He did not know if Saintess Xia you had changed her mind halfway through¡­ ¡°Then it¡¯s up to you.¡± Jiang Xiyue nodded and did not ask any more questions. She turned around and continued to cultivate. Meanwhile, Bai Luo continued to guide the three armies in their cultivation. He tried his best to let each and every one of them pass the heavenly tribulation smoothly. At the same time, a piece of news spread wildly in the eastern continent. The great chaos had begun. To everyone¡¯s surprise, the Divine Armament Holy Land¡¯s prophecy was wrong. The imperial family of the Yanhuang dynasty was not the origin of the great chaos. The true origin was the Purple Moon Palace¡­ Chapter 454 - The Gathering of the heroes ¡°Sigh, look at what you¡¯ve done. That¡¯s your daughter too. Why are you so biased?¡± At this moment, in the imperial palace at the center of the Yanhuang dynasty, the person sitting on the throne was not wearing a yellow robe. On the contrary, the person kneeling below was the person wearing the yellow robe. ¡°Retired Emperor, please calm down. No one expected things to develop to this extent.¡± Below the throne, Jiang long stood up and said. The old man above snorted and glared at Jiang long below. ¡°You were part of it. The punishment hall was handed over to you to manage, but such a thing happened. You Can¡¯t absolve yourself of responsibility.¡± At this moment, Crown Prince Jiang Cheng stood up, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed before saying. ¡°Grandfather, you can¡¯t blame father entirely for this matter. It¡¯s all because of that Jiang Xiyue. She has long had the intention to rebel.¡± ¡°Otherwise, why would she secretly raise three armies? It¡¯s my fault for not being able to capture her during the Battle of the Purple Moon Palace.¡± Hearing this, the Retired Emperor became even angrier. He snorted coldly and stopped speaking. ¡­ Divine Armament Sacred Land! ¡°Saintess, the Green Nether Jade is very helpful to your cultivation. Will Lin Mo really sell it to you?¡± In the center of the sacred land, in a grand hall, a few elders sat opposite each other and discussed. At the side, Saintess Xia you was still sitting. She frowned and fell into deep thought. ¡°The physique of the god-devouring body is special. It requires a huge amount of middle-grade spirit stones to advance. I think that as long as we offer a high price, he will sell it.¡± An elder said. There were many records regarding the devourer body in the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. ¡°Not necessarily. What if that Lin Mo wants to eat dirt, and his goal is the fate grass?¡± There were still people who maintained their objections, not believing in Lin Mo¡¯s character. Seeing all of this, Saintess Xia you rubbed her forehead, feeling a little tired¡­ The other factions were the same. They were discussing what had happened in the Purple Moon Palace. Lin Mo had passed the Heavenly Tribulation and was about to hold an auction in a month¡¯s time. The grand finale was the Earth rank 5 Supreme Treasure, the Green Nether Jade. All the factions in the eastern continent were invited to participate. Even some small and medium-sized factions were able to compete for treasures. From the Spirit Rank 1 to the spirit rank 9, there were auctions. In addition to the people wanting to know more about the heavenly tribulation, the Purple Moon Palace was filled with people during this month. As there were too many people coming, even hailing city couldn¡¯t accommodate them, so they could only go to another city. After the arrangements, the auction was held in five cities at the same time, which dispersed the crowd. Moreover, the auction was brought forward, with some small and medium-sized auctions being held first, so that these people wouldn¡¯t have to wait around. At first, there were still people who doubted whether Lin Mo could take out the green nether jade. However, when Lin Mo took it out, the doubts disappeared. More and more people wanted to participate in the auction. In the end, the number of people who signed up could fill up the entire hailing city. Helpless, Lin Mo could only hold a few auctions one after another, taking out some treasures. At the same time, he raised the threshold for the final auction. In the end, only by taking out 20 million middle-grade spirit stones to prove that he had the financial means to participate in the final auction would he be able to participate. But even so, there were still more than a thousand people who had provided proof. Lin Mo was dumbstruck. If not for the bad timing, he would have even wanted to make a trip to some of the forbidden areas to get more supreme treasures. ¡°This is like licking blood from the tip of a knife¡­¡± In the Purple Moon Palace, Jiang Xiyue was in her room, sorting out the various news that had come in recently. Meanwhile, Lin Mo was sitting leisurely at the side, watching Jiang Xiyue reading and admiring the beautiful scenery. ¡°It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ve been earning a lot of spirit stones recently. I still have a lot of treasures on me that I haven¡¯t taken out yet.¡± Lin Mo smiled. There had been auctions every day for the past half a month, and there were even people who sent in bids. The system had returned a lot of treasures, filling up the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s treasury. During this period of time, Lin Mo had also taken out enough treasures to support the final auction. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± At this moment, thunder rumbled again in the sky above the Purple Moon Palace. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue looked out of the window and saw a figure wearing armor flying down from the clouds. There were some injuries on his body, but his aura was more condensed. ¡°He¡¯s the seventh commander of the Purple Spirit Guard, second sky of the Nirvana realm. His name is ruofeng, and he was the first one to follow me.¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at that person and smiled. He had been a commander since the Purple Spirit Guard was founded. His talent was average, but his will was strong and he trained hard. Lin Mo nodded and smiled, ¡°Including him, all the commanders of the purple spirit guard have successfully transcended the heavenly tribulation. More than half of the soldiers have also transcended the heavenly tribulation.¡± This was also something that many people were talking about now. There were even rumors that if they wanted to transcend the heavenly tribulation, they would have to join the Purple Moon Palace. In the past half a month, as the spirit stones they obtained increased, the purple spirit guards successfully cultivated and began transcending the heavenly tribulation one after another. Of course, it wasn¡¯t just the Purple Moon Palace. In hailing city not too far away, the Sun didn¡¯t shine for half a month. Most of the people who came here wanted to transcend the heavenly tribulation and raise their strength. And this place was relatively close to the Purple Moon Palace, so the restrictions were very small. If one were to intentionally attract the heavenly tribulation, they would be able to attract it. However, a lot of people had died under the heavenly tribulation in the past few days. Even the Purple Moon Palace had suffered tragedies. No matter how much Bai Luo taught them, nearly a hundred people had died under the heavenly tribulation. Cultivators fought with the heavens to begin with, so it was inevitable that they would die. ¡°Why are you still here? It¡¯s time to host the auction.¡± Jiang Xiyue looked at the scroll and squinted at Lin Mo. . ¡°I won¡¯t go today. My former subordinates have been brought here. Duanmu Jia and Huixiang will take care of everything¡­¡± Lin Mo leaned on Jiang Xiyue¡¯s legs and closed his eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being seen¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue pushed Lin Mo away, trying to push him away, but she couldn¡¯t. ¡°No one will come in,¡±Lin Mo said lazily. Only Bai Luo and the others could enter Jiang Xiyue¡¯s room. Unless there was something important, they would not come in and disturb her¡­ ¡°I¡¯m afraid that won¡¯t do. Take a look for yourself.¡± Jiang Xiyue chuckled and handed over a scroll. On the scroll, there was a golden imprint. The words ¡®Sacred Land of Divine Secrets¡¯appeared before Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. He took it and looked at it reluctantly. ¡°First Elder, second elder, third elder and Saintess of the Sacred Land of divine secrets are here to greet you. We have to welcome you personally.¡± Jiang Xiyue smiled. Not only that, Bai Luo and qiluo had to come as well. As one of the top forces in the eastern continent, the three elders had already given them enough face by coming. It was inevitable that they would welcome you personally. ¡°Get up. Aunt and Miss Bai Luo are still waiting.¡± Jiang Xiyue said gently. She tidied up the documents on the table and walked out of the room with Lin Mo. . As soon as they walked out of the door, Qiluo and Bai Luo came. They had been waiting for a long time, and the people from the Sacred Land of Divine Secrets had arrived. ¡°The Sacred Land of divine secrets came half a month in advance. It caused quite a stir.¡± Qiluo smiled. She had also passed the heavenly tribulation in the past half a month. It was very terrifying and caused a great commotion. Some people even thought that she would die under the heavenly tribulation. Chapter 455 - There is hope to ascend to immortality Chapter 455: There is hope to ascend to immortality However, in the end, qiluo still survived the heavenly tribulation with great difficulty. Moreover, under the tempering of the heavenly tribulation, she laid a foundation and her battle prowess increased. This was also the reason why the three elders of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land had come. They had not yet transcended the heavenly tribulation. They wanted to ask Qiluo how she felt when transcending the heavenly tribulation, and they were willing to pay spirit stones for this. Outside the Purple Moon Palace, the palace-guarding formation was activated, and a spatial passage appeared. Four figures walked out from it. Many people around were shocked to see such a grand scene. ¡°That¡¯s the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s Palace Master and Vice Palace Master. What kind of people are they that deserve to be personally welcomed by these two important figures?¡± ¡°Not only that, that senior seems to be the one who transcended the tribulation not long ago, a peak expert at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± Many people cried out in surprise as they paid attention to the Purple Moon Palace. In the space, Saintess Xia you was the first to walk out, followed by three old men. Their auras were terrifying as they emitted a faint pressure. Seeing this, Qi Luo didn¡¯t make any movements. She simply glanced at the three people. In an instant, the pressure in the air dissipated just like that. The three of them widened their eyes and looked at qiluo in disbelief. ¡°What¡¯s Wrong?¡± Saintess Xiyou smiled and looked at Jiang Xiyue and Lin mo. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would become a guest in the Purple Moon Palace on my second visit¡­¡± She sighed. She recalled that she had come to help Jiang Cheng deal with the Purple Moon Palace on his first visit. ¡°Saintess Xiyou, Welcome to the Purple Moon Palace as a guest. Please come in.¡± Lin Mo nodded and made an inviting gesture, inviting the four people into the Purple Moon Palace. The people outside were stunned speechless. ¡°I¡¯m here to ask what happened when brother Lin transcended the heavenly tribulation?¡± After taking a seat in the main hall, Saintess Xia you went straight to the point and asked Lin Mo. . No matter what, Lin Mo was the first person in the eastern continent to transcend the heavenly tribulation, so there was bound to be something different. This was the result of the Divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s calculations through generations of inheritance. The first person to pass the heavenly tribulation would receive huge benefits, and there was a high possibility that they would ascend to the immortal stage. However, Lin Mo obviously didn¡¯t do so now. It was just that his strength had increased. His current realm was already the same as hers, at the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage. Moreover, after passing the heavenly tribulation, his combat strength was very strong. Perhaps, he had already surpassed her¡­ ¡°The first heavenly tribulation was extremely terrifying, and I nearly died in it. I guess it¡¯s my bad luck.¡± Lin Mo sighed. He wasn¡¯t lying. The heavenly tribulation was like a flood bursting through a dam. He had really nearly died. ¡°Then, Your Excellency qiluo, what did you experience when transcending the Heavenly Tribulation?¡± The three elders of the Divine Secrets Sacred Land couldn¡¯t help but look at qiluo, wanting to ask for some useful information. ¡°Oh right, I heard that Purple Moon Palace is short of Spirit Stones recently. I have brought some gifts with me this time. I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Saintess Xia you handed over an interspatial ring as a gift. Naturally, Lin Mo didn¡¯t stand on ceremony. He took it and examined it, feeling shocked. 10 million middle-grade spirit stones, three spirit rank 9 spiritual artifacts, as well as many spirit herbs and materials. Among the spiritual artifacts, one of them was the cauldron. Luo Haoyu¡¯s spiritual artifact was the cauldron, and if he auctioned it off, he could return the benefits to earth-grade spiritual artifacts. ¡°That¡¯s great, elder Luo¡¯s spiritual artifact is also here.¡± Lin Mo was delighted. Once Luo Haoyu broke through, the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s strength would increase by a large margin. ¡°The few of you can stay in the Purple Moon Palace for a while. If you have time, you can go to hailing city to participate in the auction.¡± After arranging for Saintess Xia you and the others, Lin Mo continued to arrange for the rest of the guests. As for qiluo, she discussed dao with the three elders of the Sacred Land of divine secrets. Both sides benefited greatly and went into seclusion one after another. About five or six days later, three thunderclouds appeared on a mountain peak not far from Purple Moon Palace. Lightning and thunder interweaved. Under the bombardment of the Thunder, three extremely powerful figures were in a sorry state. These three people were the three elders of the Divine Secrets Holy Land. Everyone in hailing city was paying close attention to them. This was the second time after the heavenly tribulation that a ninth sky of the Nirvana realm expert had transcended the tribulation. Moreover, the scene of three people transcending the tribulation at once was even more spectacular, attracting countless people to watch. Finally, the three elders bathed in the lightning and descended. Their essence, energy, and spirit had reached the peak. When their auras condensed, they were extremely powerful. ¡°Haha, I Feel Like My realm has increased by a huge margin¡­¡± An elder laughed loudly. It had been a long time since they had felt such a feeling of increasing strength. Moreover, most importantly, they felt that there was room for improvement. This meant that there was a chance of ascending to immortality¡­ ¡°How many years has it been? This old man finally feels an increase in strength. That¡¯s Great.¡± At this moment, the three of them seemed to have received a new lease of life and saw Hope. ¡°Congratulations to the three seniors for transcending the heavenly tribulation. However, please withdraw your pressure. Hailing city is unable to withstand it.¡± Lin Mo flew over at this moment and reminded the three of them to withdraw their supreme aura. The Purple Moon Palace had a formation protecting them, but the formation of hailing city could not withstand a ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert. Moreover, it was three of the strongest experts who had survived the heavenly tribulation. ¡°Vice Palace Master Lin, I¡¯m sorry. I was too proud.¡±The three of them looked at Lin Mo, who was unaffected by their pressure. They were shocked, but at the same time, they withdrew their auras. After the terrifying aura disappeared, hailing city regained its calm. However, the entire city was in an uproar. When Lin Mo returned to hailing city, everyone was discussing. Was this a ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert. Even such a terrifying heavenly tribulation wasn¡¯t able to kill these three people. They were too powerful. ¡°Master, the people from the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty have come to the Moon selection. It¡¯s the tenth princess and retired emperor Jiang Feng.¡± Duanmu Jia, who had just returned to Yue Xuan, appeared in front of Lin Mo. . She was wearing a light green dress. Ever since the incident, their days in ancient flame city hadn¡¯t been easy. They were suppressed everywhere. Fortunately, after the Purple Moon Palace stabilized, Lin Mo sent people to bring Duanmu Jia, Miao Qing, and the Su family over. Now, the Su family had completely merged with Yue Xuan and developed together. ¡°Retired Emperor?¡±Lin Mo was stunned. The retired emperor of the Yanhuang Divine dynasty was a bit important. ¡°That¡¯s right. Retired Emperor brought the tenth princess here and wants to see you and the palace master,¡±Duanmu Jia said. The retired emperor was an expert of the Ninth Heaven of Nirvana realm. She did not dare to neglect him, and was now staying in the guest room of Yue Xuan. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to see him. Arrange an auction tonight, and you will host it.¡± Lin Mo said, ¡°Are you only thinking about making up for it now? Why did you leave so early?¡±. Not only did he not want to see him, but also because of the tenth princess, who had a good relationship with Jiang Xiyue, he even wanted to chase her away. The Bustle in hailing city continued. Not only did the people from Yanhuang dynasty come, but also Great Yan dynasty. Zhen Gu, who was conferred the title of crown prince, and Zhen Wu de, a ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert whom he had met last time, came together. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue came out to welcome them, and invited them to stay in Purple Moon Palace. ¡°Brother Lin, you really surprised me. There are so many good things here.¡± When Zhen Gu saw Lin Mo, he was very familiar with him. He was very surprised to hear that there would be an auction held by Lin Mo Tonight. Chapter 456 - Gilded Golden Tripod ¡°Brother Lin, what¡¯s the finale tonight? Can you tell us in advance?¡± Zhen gu raised his glass to Lin Mo and asked if there were any earth grade treasures for auction. If there were, he would definitely make a move. ¡°Haha, Let¡¯s Keep This a secret for now. You can just wait for tonight.¡± Lin Mo laughed loudly and didn¡¯t reveal anything. In the end, he only said that there were earth grade treasures. Night gradually descended and the Yue Xuan auction officially began. However, the host tonight wasn¡¯t Huixiang or Duanmu Jia, but Lin Mo. . ¡°Welcome to the Yue Xuan auction. There are a total of ten treasures in this auction. Nine of them are spirit rank rank 9, and the finale is Earth Rank 1.¡± Lin Mo stood on the stage and said with a smile. ¡°It really is the auction personally hosted by the Vice Palace Master. The earth rank treasures are finally about to be seen again.¡± ¡°Haha, this Young Master didn¡¯t come to the wrong place. I¡¯ve just arrived today and I¡¯ve already encountered such a good thing.¡± The hall was filled with people. All of them were extremely excited, and all of the private rooms were filled up as well. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say any more nonsense. Let¡¯s invite the first item up for auction, the spirit grade ninth grade magic tool, the Xuanling Cauldron.¡± Lin Mo chuckled lightly and took out a light blue cauldron from the system space. ¡°This item originally came from the Sacred Land of divine secrets. This visit to the Purple Moon Palace has given me a generous gift. Therefore, the auction will begin today.¡± ¡°Although the magic artifact is a rare item, its effects are extremely good. It is a treasure that is treasured by the sacred land of divine secrets. Its value goes without saying.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo knocked down the auction hammer. ¡°The starting price of the Xuanling Cauldron is eight million. Each increment must not be less than five hundred thousand. The auction will begin.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the hall became lively, and the shouts continued one after another. ¡°I bid nine million.¡± ¡°Ten million.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Under normal circumstances, a ninth-grade spirit-grade magic artifact would sell for around fifteen million, far inferior to an earth-grade magic artifact. However, there were many people who came today, and everyone wanted a good magic artifact. The shouts continued for three minutes, and the ones who were still bidding were the holy sons of the two holy lands of the Lu Jin dynasty. The others all gave up because the price was too expensive. ¡°18 million!¡± The appearance of such a high price surprised everyone. The holy son of the other Holy Land was also silent. 18 million was too expensive. It was a bit too much of a loss to buy a ninth-level spiritual artifact. ¡°Forget it. If you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± The holy son said coldly and gave up on this competition. ¡°Alright, Congratulations to this guest for buying the Xuanling Cauldron at 18 million.¡± Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer and announced the auction results. [ congratulations to host for successfully auctioning the spirit rank 9 Xuanling Cauldron ] [ successfully triggered 4,000 times the auction profit ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining the Earth Rank 1 golden cauldron ] It was only Earth Rank 1, which was not bad. After Luo Haoyu broke out of seclusion, he would be able to use an earth rank magic tool. ¡°The second item is a spirit rank 9 magic tool, Ghost Flash Dagger.¡± ¡°This is also a treasure from the Holy Land of Shenji. The effect is very good. If you all want it, don¡¯t miss it.¡± As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, someone impatiently asked for the price. Ghost Flash Dagger was more versatile, and more people wanted it. ¡°Ghost Flash Dagger, the starting price is 8,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than 500,000.¡± The hammer fell, and the bidding sounds could be heard. Many people rushed to bid. ¡°12,000,000.¡± In the private room at the front, a familiar voice sounded, which surprised Lin Mo.. It was the voice of the tenth princess of the Yanhuang dynasty. She had also come to the auction. ¡°I can¡¯t see through her aura. It seems that the retired emperor is also inside.¡± Lin Mo looked at the Retired Emperor in the private room. Strictly speaking, he was Jiang Xiyue¡¯s grandfather. He should have gone to pay his respects and called her grandfather¡­ Unfortunately, Jiang Xiyue had already broken away from them. From the moment the Purple Moon Palace in the imperial palace was attacked, she was only an enemy. ¡°13 million.¡± In the private room on the other side, there were also people bidding for the Ghost Flash Dagger. ¡°15 million.¡± Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice came from a corner of the hall. After releasing their spiritual power, everyone heard the voice. ¡°Who is that? He shouldn¡¯t be sitting there, right?¡± ¡°Why do you care so much? Who knows, he might be some hermit powerhouse with a solitary personality.¡± Many people were discussing, but they were quickly covered by the shouting of the price. Perhaps the tenth princess was following orders and was not stingy in raising the price. ¡°16 million.¡± ¡°20 million.¡± The hoarse voice sounded again, pushing the price to 20 million. Such a price was equivalent to a superior force¡¯s monthly income. Even in the current hailing city, the annual tax was only 20 million. ¡°This guest bids 20 million. Is there anyone who bids higher?¡± Lin Mo knocked the hammer down and said, ¡°20 million going once.¡± The tenth princess fell into silence. She was probably struggling with her thoughts and didn¡¯t want to give up on the ghost flash dagger. However, the price was too expensive. ¡°20 million going twice,¡±Lin Mo said again. Seeing that he was about to drop the hammer for the third time, the tenth Princess¡¯s voice finally came from the private room. ¡°21 million.¡± The hammer that was about to drop came to an abrupt stop. Lin Mo revealed a smile. 21 million. He was very satisfied with this price. ¡°25 million.¡± The hoarse voice came again, and everyone in the room was stunned, somewhat dazed. Just who was this person? He was actually willing to spend 25 million to buy a spiritual artifact. ¡°25 million going once. Is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo grinned. He couldn¡¯t see through this person either, but this person really had a lot of spirit stones. 25 million? He was going to bid just like that? The tenth princess obviously gave up and didn¡¯t raise the bid. After Lin Mo dropped his hammer three times, he announced the result of the auction. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Just as he was about to take out the next item, the person who had called out the bid earlier had already stood up. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, customer?¡±Lin Mo asked. The person stood up and staggered towards the auction stage. As he walked, he said, ¡°I want to do the transaction on the spot and plan to leave.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and took out the ghost flash dagger that he had just kept. He said, ¡°Of course. Please take out your spirit stones and check if the ghost flash dagger is real.¡± That person walked up to the auction stage and took out a cloth bag that was filled with spirit stones. Lin Mo didn¡¯t suspect him. He handed the ghost flash dagger to the person and took the spirit stones at the same time. After checking, Lin Mo confirmed that there was no mistake. That person also waved the ghost flash dagger a few times and didn¡¯t say a word. Suddenly, Lin Mo felt an extremely dense killing intent lock onto him. A chill surged from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously raised his head and saw that person suddenly turn around. A cold light flashed and the ghost flash dagger suddenly stabbed towards Lin Mo¡¯s glabella. ¡°Be careful.¡± A few exclamations sounded from within the private rooms. Those experts also realized that something was wrong and warned him. Someone wanted to make a move, but it was already too late. Everyone could only watch as the ghost flash dagger stabbed towards Lin Mo¡¯s glabella, unable to do anything¡­ Chapter 457 - Primordial Bone tempering pill ¡°Hidden Ghost sect.¡± Facing the attack, Lin Mo quickly identified the opponent¡¯s identity. This was because his spiritual energy contained the ghostly aura of the ghost domain. The ghost flash dagger stabbed over. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Mo smiled slightly and raised his finger, easily catching the ghost flash dagger¡¯s attack. The sharp cold light slashed across Lin Mo¡¯s finger, leaving no trace. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The person who attacked was shocked. The sharpness of a spirit rank 9 magic tool could only be blocked by a ninth level Nirvana stage genius. But how could Lin Mo easily receive it. He didn¡¯t even use his spiritual energy and used his pure physical strength to block it. ¡°Heavenly tribulation body tempering. The Vice Palace Master¡¯s physical body is already at the peak of the Nirvana realm¡­¡± In a few private rooms, powerful existences appeared one after another. They were extremely shocked. They were worried too much. The current Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was close to the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. In addition to the fact that he controlled the Kun Peng Wings, there were only a few people who could kill him¡­ Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Mo raised his hand and spiritual energy erupted. Flames and lightning struck out at the same time. A powerful force exploded, piercing through this person¡¯s dantian, and his cultivation continued to leak out. ¡°No¡­¡± A hoarse and painful roar sounded, and in the next moment, Lin Mo had already smashed his head open, and his soul was scattered. Lin Mo didn¡¯t find any useful information on him. Other than thirty million middle-grade spirit stones, there was nothing else of value. ¡°Using a seventh sky of Nirvana realm expert to assassinate the Hidden Ghost Sect, just how powerful is the hidden ghost sect¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. This assassination was very sudden, and it also made him alert. He originally thought that with so many supreme experts around, no one would dare to cause trouble here, but he didn¡¯t expect the hidden ghost sect to be so crazy. ¡°There¡¯s a small incident, so the auction continues. His bid doesn¡¯t count. The previous customer, your bid of 21,000,000, does it still count?¡± Lin Mo looked at the Yan Huang Dynasty¡¯s private room and asked. The system hadn¡¯t given him the rebate yet. Because he had killed the person who had bid for the ghost flash dagger, it could be considered as taking back the auction item. Thus, he didn¡¯t give him the rebate. After a while, the tenth Princess¡¯s voice rang out. The bid still counted. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit rank rank 9 magic tool, Ghost Flash Dagger ] [ successfully triggered 3,000 times the rebate from the auction ] ¡°Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Earth Rank 1 Ghost Cry Dagger.¡± After the tenth princess agreed, the system¡¯s return was also given out. He was very satisfied with the Earth Rank 1 magic weapon. ¡°Sorry for making a fool of myself. The auction continues. The next item is also a magic weapon, spirit rank 9.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, another magic weapon appeared. It was a large bone blade. Among magical artifacts, sabers, Swords, and spears were all very popular types. The moment this large saber appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes lit up. None of the items in tonight¡¯s auction were ordinary. ¡°Spirit Bone Saber, spirit rank 9. The starting bid is 8,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Shouts of bids rang out one after another, and the price of the spirit bone saber instantly rose. Very quickly, it reached 15,000,000 spirit stones. Everyone in the hall sighed. Although this auction was full of treasures, it didn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with them. Because those forces in the private room were all very powerful, they didn¡¯t hesitate to increase the price, and soon, they were left behind. They could only watch others bidding. The final price was fixed at twenty million, and it was bought by Zhen Gu of Great Yan dynasty. ¡°Congratulations to this guest, for successfully buying this auction item.¡± Lin Mo dropped the hammer, and the system¡¯s voice rang out at the same time. [ congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a spirit grade ninth tier magical item, bone saber ] [ successfully triggered a 1,000 times profit return from the auction ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining a half-step earth grade magical item, Bone Saber ] The profit return this time made Lin Mo feel helpless. It was too low. He was only half-step earth grade, and had not even broken through the earth grade. ¡°I thought I would be able to obtain a better treasure. What a pity.¡± Lin Mo sighed and continued to host the auction. However, his luck was very good after that. After a few consecutive auctions, he had obtained Earth rank treasures. The most precious thing was a stalk of spirit herb, which was worth 10,000 times the rebate. Giving him an earth rank 3 spirit herb was considered a pleasant surprise. However, what made him helpless was that it would be great if the last item could be triggered 10,000 times. ¡°What a pity. Next is the finale¡­¡± Lin Mo knocked down the auction hammer, ending the second to last item. The people in the auction hall also perked up. Even the people in the private room also perked up. All of them stared at Lin Mo, preparing to participate in the final competition. ¡°Earth Rank Rank 1 spirit pill, chaos bone tempering pill. It can lead the Great Dao to temper one¡¯s body and solidify one¡¯s foundation. Furthermore, it has another effect, and that is to resist the heavenly might of the Lightning Path.¡± This was the rebate from the system auction. He had obtained it before, but at that time, he didn¡¯t understand why it could only block the heavenly might of the lightning path. Only after the heavenly tribulation appeared did he understand. However, Bai Luo said that it wasn¡¯t allowed to be used. Although this spirit pill could resist the heavenly might of the Lightning Dao, it also had side effects. That was, without the heavenly tribulation tempering the body, although it was dangerous, it was also a great opportunity. Not many people were willing to let it go. In the past, the heavenly tribulation was not visible, so the value of this spirit pill was not much. But now, it was different. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, the eastern continent cultivators would suffer heavy casualties. Those who were unwilling to die would also cut down their cultivation realms and use it to withstand the heavenly tribulation. However, if they wanted to cultivate back, it would be even more difficult. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the sunlight that you all guessed. The primordial bone tempering pill can help you pass the heavenly tribulation smoothly.¡± ¡°However, without the step of tempering your body through the heavenly tribulation, it will have a certain impact on your cultivation and battle prowess in the future.¡± The side effects that Lin Mo spoke of were nothing in the eyes of these people. As long as they could successfully pass the heavenly tribulation and save their lives, that would be the best. ¡°Primordial bone tempering pill, the starting bid is twenty million middle-tier spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than one million.¡± As the hammer descended, the crowd below snapped back to their senses and started bidding like crazy. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that someone had attacked Lin Mo and was easily killed, they would have rushed forward to fight for the pill. ¡°I bid thirty million.¡± At this moment, Zhen Gu made his move. His talent was average and he had no confidence in transcending the heavenly tribulation. Now that he had the help of the Spirit Pill, he didn¡¯t want to miss it. ¡°35 million.¡± On the other side, the tenth princess of the Yanhuang Divine dynasty also made a bid. It was the first time they had seen a spirit pill that could help one transcend the heavenly tribulation. Hence, they all wanted to get it. The voices of the bidders suppressed one another. On the contrary, no one made a bid in the private room where Saintess Xia you was at the very front. From the beginning to the end, there was silence. Although the primordial bone tempering pill was good, its flaws were also obvious. Saintess Xia you could rely on her own strength to overcome the heavenly tribulation, so there was no need to lose an opportunity. ¡°Sixty million.¡± Soon, the price of the auction was raised to sixty million by Zhen Gu. Moreover, he was still increasing the price, unwilling to give in. ¡°63 million.¡± ¡°65 million.¡± In the end, only the two of them were bidding. The others were just spectators and could only watch. After a round of fighting, Zhen Gu had no choice but to give up. Because the tenth princess had already bid 75 million, it was not worth it to continue fighting¡­ Chapter 458 - Profound Mysteries Building Foundation Pill ¡°Congratulations to this guest for winning the primordial bone tempering pill.¡± Lin Mo did not mind who won it. He would definitely take revenge on the Yanhuang dynasty, but he was not in a hurry. Furthermore, he was a guest now. He could not act like he was chasing away a guest. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the primordial bone tempering pill ] [ you have successfully triggered the 7,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the earth grade third level profound assimilation foundation pill ] Lin Mo looked at the effects of this spiritual pill and realized that it was an advanced version of the primordial bone tempering pill. Its effect was still to ward off the heavenly tribulation. However, this spiritual pill could intercept the power of the heavenly lightning and help the user cleanse their bones and marrow. Although it wasn¡¯t as effective as the heavenly tribulation, it didn¡¯t pose any danger. As long as one consumed it, one would be able to survive the heavenly tribulation and temper their body. ¡°It¡¯s not very effective. However, I can find an opportunity for Zhen Gu to give it to him.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He had earned a lot of spirit stones from this auction, which could be used for the cultivation of the three armies of Purple Moon Palace. When everything was settled, it was already late at night. Lin Mo was alone on the streets of Hailing City, planning to return to Purple Moon Palace. At this moment, his spiritual sense suddenly sensed something unusual. ¡°The surroundings are a little too quiet¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Hailing city should be extremely lively, but he felt a sinister feeling in the surroundings. ¡°Who is it? Come out!¡± He said coldly as he took out the ancient desolation sword. He looked around vigilantly. One had to know that he had just been assassinated during the auction. Now that such a strange thing had happened, he had reason to suspect that it was the same people who had attacked him. ¡°Someone from the Secret Ghost Sect?¡± Lin Mo continued to speak, but there was no one around him. There wasn¡¯t even a sound. It was extremely quiet. ¡°Crack.¡± Suddenly, like the sound of glass shattering, the space around Lin Mo shattered, and his figure appeared in the wild. This was a forest, not hailing city at all. Behind him, Zhen Gu and a young man walked out. Lin Mo sensed the aura and confirmed his identity. This was the person who had bought the immortal spring back then. ¡°Zhen Wu de, Zhen Gu¡¯s ancestor, a ninth sky of the Nirvana realm expert.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. It seemed like this person had taken the immortal spring and his lifespan had been reset, so he could maintain his youthful appearance. ¡°Greetings, senior.¡±Lin Mo cupped his fists and bowed. He didn¡¯t sense any malice from the other party. Perhaps, this was the person who had pulled him out of that illusionary space just now. ¡°Haha, a Hero is born from a youth. The Vice Palace Master was able to discover the thousand illusion mirror image of the hidden ghost sect at such a young age.¡± Zhen Wude Laughed Out Loud and praised without holding back. ¡°Senior, you flatter me.¡±Lin Mo bowed humbly. He put away the ancient sword of desolation and restrained his aura. With this person around, the person hiding in the dark wouldn¡¯t dare to make a move anymore. Zhen Wude Stared at Lin Mo who had retracted his aura and sighed in his heart. Without a doubt, this was a young genius. In terms of who in the eastern continent would be able to stabilize their immortal foundation, he had two choices in his heart. One of them was the well-known Saintess Xia you, this monstrous genius of the divine secrets sacred land that was hard to come by in ten thousand years. As for the other person, that was Lin Mo.. Although he had the divine devouring body, he didn¡¯t doubt Lin Mo¡¯s ability to ascend to immortality. In his heart, he believed that if Lin Mo could be the first to transcend the heavenly tribulation, he would definitely be able to break through to the immortal-foundation realm with his divine devouring body. ¡°Brother Lin, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t go out for the time being. People from the secret ghost sect appear and disappear unpredictably. I Won¡¯t rest until I kill you.¡±Zhen Gu spoke. Not far away, streams of light flew over. It was the Holy Maiden Xia you and the three elders from the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. Apart from them, there was also the retired emperor of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty who flew over with the tenth princess. One after another, many experts sensed the commotion and rushed over. There were many experts from the seventh and eighth heavens who were rarely seen. There were even quite a few experts from the ninth heavens. The lineup was terrifying. The damask arrived late and was somewhat anxious. After seeing that Lin Mo was fine, the worry on her face disappeared. After checking Lin Mo carefully and confirming that he was not injured, she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Aunty, I¡¯ll be fine. Don¡¯t worry,¡±Lin Mo said with a smile. He did not know when he had been tricked, but he had unknowingly been lured into the mountains by the secret ghost sect. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. If anything happens to you, Xiyue will do this¡­¡± Qiluo was still feeling a lingering fear. The Secret Ghost sect actually dared to make a move at this time. She held Lin Mo¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Purple Moon Palace. The few of you, don¡¯t leave my sight during this period of time.¡± The Secret Ghost Sect was hidden in the dark, so it was not easy to catch them. Qiluo could only pay attention at all times. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± A contemptuous laugh came from the dark. It was obvious that it was the person who had just planned to kill Lin Mo.. This must be a ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. His concealment method was extremely strong, and so many ninth sky of the Nirvana realm present could not discover it. Of course, it was also possible that someone had discovered it, but didn¡¯t expose it¡­ ¡°Only a ninth sky of the Nirvana realm is willing to protect you, and you will undoubtedly die. Our Secret Ghost Sect¡¯s assassination target has never failed¡­¡± The person in the dark said coldly. Although there were many people present, and there was a group of ninth sky of the Nirvana realm experts. But the one who was truly willing to risk his life to protect Lin Mo was only Qiluo. The others, especially that retired emperor of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. Lin Mo would have to thank him if he didn¡¯t want to add insult to injury. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t afraid of such a threat. However, this time, he had a new understanding of the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. This kind of control over the power of space combined with martial arts had actually caused him to only notice the abnormality after a long time. ¡°Senior, you were the one who made a move earlier, right?¡±Lin Mo looked at Zhen Wu de. This was because the first to arrive were zhen gu and Zhen Wu de. After the other party nodded his head, Lin Mo took out a jade box and delivered it over. On the way over, he opened it. In an instant, a fragrant smell assailed everyone¡¯s nostrils. This fragrance reverberated throughout the entire mountain range, intoxicating everyone. Many people widened their eyes as they looked at the Spirit Pill in the Jade Box. This kind of Aura was at least at Earth rank 3. wasn¡¯t its value a little too high. ¡°Thank you for saving us, senior. This is a thank you gift. Please accept it.¡± Lin Mo handed over the jade box and said again, ¡°This is the advanced version of the primordial bone tempering pill, the third level Earth rank profound assimilation foundation pill. The two effects are the same, but the latter can intercept the heavenly tribulation energy and temper the body of the user.¡± ¡°Although the effect is not as good as facing the heavenly tribulation directly, there is no danger.¡± He had planned to save this spiritual pill for the last auction. When that time came, a pile of earth grade auction items would be enough to be recorded in history. However, now that he had been saved, he did owe a favor, whether or not qiluo could make it. Now that he had used this spiritual pill to repay the favor, it was just right. Zhen Wude took the spiritual pill and checked it carefully with his spiritual sense. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Great! I didn¡¯t expect such a mysterious spiritual pill to exist in this world. Vice Palace Master, you are really amazing. You even got such a spiritual pill.¡± Zhen Wude laughed in satisfaction. He had earned a rank three Earth realm spiritual pill with just a casual attack. Chapter 459 - Purple Moon Palace’s Second Ninth Sky ¡°Brother Lin, did you give this to me? Thank you so much.¡± Zhen Gu was straightforward and laughed out loud. He had competed with the tenth princess because he didn¡¯t have the confidence to face the heavenly tribulation. His talent was average, and he usually cultivated to refine heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Needless to say, his foundation would be shattered by the heavenly tribulation. Now that he could obtain such a spirit pill, he could safely face the heavenly tribulation and cultivate in the Nirvana realm. As for Immortal Foundation, that was not something he should consider. It was something that geniuses like Lin Moxia, Saintess you, and Chen Wu would fight for. ¡°Haha, aren¡¯t We Friends? It¡¯s only right for us to help each other.¡±Lin Mo laughed out loud, indicating that he would give priority to selling good things to Zhen Gu in the future. This made the others a little jealous. They all knew that Lin Mo had a lot of treasures on him, and Great Yan dynasty had really gained a huge advantage this time. ¡°HMPH, are you trying to buy people¡¯s hearts? Don¡¯t even think about it. You¡¯re just a junior, yet you want to invite an ultimate expert of the ninth layer?¡± Someone sneered in the dark. It was not the voice from before, but someone else¡¯s. Moreover, Lin Mo was sure that it was one of the people around him. ¡°Who is it? If you have the guts, then attack. What¡¯s the point of provoking me behind my back?¡± Qiluo said angrily and stared at the surroundings. This person had used a magic artifact to hide himself so that no one could detect him. ¡°The Hidden Ghost sect has already joined forces with the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. I¡¯m afraid that you, a ninth-heaven cultivator, won¡¯t be able to flatten the Purple Moon Palace.¡± Another voice came from the dark. It was actually a public announcement of his plan. ¡°The Yanhuang Dynasty?¡±Qiluo¡¯s face turned cold as she looked to the other side. The tenth princess and the Retired Emperor, Jiang Feng, were there. The tenth princess turned pale when Qiluo stared at her like that. Even Jiang Feng was the same. Qiluo had just broken through to the ninth firmament not long ago, but he had been in this realm for more than a hundred years. However, he still felt uncertain when Qiluo stared at him. He felt that he was no match for her. ¡°How is this possible? After passing the heavenly tribulation, his combat strength has increased so much?¡±Jiang Feng was shocked. ¡°Aunty, don¡¯t do anything¡­¡± Lin Mo pulled qiluo back. He was really worried that Qiluo would bring up the past. ¡°I know what to do. Those who came to participate in the auction are all guests¡­¡±qiluo gritted her teeth and said. Back then, she was injured and her Dantian was damaged. She thought that she would be crippled for life. If Lin Mo did not bring a supreme treasure to save her¡­ Later on, she had been hunted down. Lin Mo had still brought a teleportation array to save her. She had long hated the Yanhuang Divine dynasty. If Yue Xuan had not run the auction house and established the Chamber of Commerce, she would have taken action long ago. ¡°Qiluo, I watched you grow up back then. You Don¡¯t even believe me?¡± Jiang Feng tried to salvage the situation. He looked at qiluo with a complicated expression. The younger generation from back then had grown up to surpass him. ¡°Cut the crap. Our family was blind when we married Qiluo into the royal family.¡± Qiluo cursed. They had agreed to have Jiang Xiyue compete fairly with the crown prince. In the end, if Jiang Xiyue hadn¡¯t sensed that something was wrong and secretly raised an army, they would still be hunted down. ¡°Sir, we are guests. Please don¡¯t cause trouble in hailing city. Otherwise, the Yanhuang dynasty will really be blacklisted.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. It didn¡¯t matter if the secret ghost sect was trying to sow discord or if it was true. The Yanhuang dynasty was an enemy to begin with. It wouldn¡¯t be surprising if they joined forces. ¡°Forget it, Lin Mo, let¡¯s go. There¡¯s no need to talk to such people.¡± Qiluo pulled Lin Mo up, tore open space, and returned to Purple Moon Palace. She did not want to continue arguing. On the other side, Jiang Xiyue and the others were all present. The purple spirit guards were already on guard. The purple spirit guards had all successfully transcended the tribulations, and their combat strength had increased greatly. Once the four spirits battle formation was activated again, it would be extremely terrifying. ¡°Don¡¯t go out during this period of time. Elder Luo is about to come out of seclusion. Let¡¯s wait for him to come out before leaving,¡±Qiluo said. She couldn¡¯t be in two places at once. On one hand, she had to guard the Purple Moon Palace to prevent people from sneaking in. On the other hand, she had to keep an eye on hailing city to prevent any accidents from happening to Lin Mo. . ¡°Elder Luo is going to break through so soon?¡±Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. This was big news. He thought elder Luo would be in seclusion for several years this time. ¡°After all, there are so many spirit stones supporting him. It¡¯s normal for him to break through faster,¡±Jiang Xiyue said with a smile. Before the last auction began, Lin Mo had been resting in the Purple Moon Palace. During this time, Zhen Gu and Saintess Xia you would visit occasionally. Even the tenth princess of the Yanhuang dynasty had come. When she saw Jiang Xiyue, the two of them chatted for a while. The tenth princess was ordered to come. She wanted Jiang Xiyue to go back. As long as she was willing, she could become the new Empress when she went back. ¡°Empress, alas, I yearned for it when I was young¡­¡± In the room, Jiang Xiyue was nestled in Lin Mo¡¯s arms, feeling a little emotional. When the tenth princess went back to report, the answer she received was naturally not good. She did not want to go back. This promise came a little too late. What was the point of saying all this now. ¡°How do you want to develop the Purple Moon Palace? Are we still going to attack the Yanhuang Dynasty?¡±Lin Morou said softly. Lin Mo gently brushed Jiang Xiyue¡¯s long hair and hugged her tightly. Jiang Xiyue might be conflicted right now about attacking her former home. On one hand, it was hatred. On the other hand, it was family love. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m so conflicted.¡± Jiang Xiyue hugged Lin Mo tightly and enjoyed a moment of peace. ¡°I¡¯m the Palace Master. I have to be responsible for the soldiers of the three armies. I have to be responsible for the elders who came with me. The Purple Moon Palace has to develop.¡± ¡°But do I really have to raise my gun to father? Will people say that I am unfilial¡­¡± She spoke softly. This conflict had troubled her for a long time. Without territory, there would be less taxes, which meant that there was a lack of resources. These were necessary for a large force. ¡°Let¡¯s see what they will do. If they truly repent, we will not fight anymore. Leave the resource issue to me.¡± Lin Mo patted Jiang Xiyue¡¯s back and comforted her, hoping that the Yanhuang dynasty wouldn¡¯t be ungrateful. If they really wanted to fight, then don¡¯t blame him for being merciless. Although they wouldn¡¯t go as far as to destroy the Yanhuang dynasty, it wasn¡¯t impossible for the Purple Moon Palace to have one more subordinate force¡­ The Purple Moon Palace welcomed another wave of calm. Of course, this meant that no one was looking for trouble, and no one showed any hostility. In the past few days, the Lu Jin dynasty and the great ancient God dynasty had also sent people over with many spirit stones and treasures to choose the auction. Of course, the first thing these two forces did when they arrived was to look for the qiluo and ask about the essentials of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation. After receiving a satisfactory answer, they went to the mountain range and triggered the heavenly tribulation. This kind of terrifying fluctuation caused the people of hailing city to discuss animatedly. However, this was only the beginning. On the same day, the sky above the Purple Moon Palace was covered with dark clouds as snake-shaped lightning bolts streaked across the sky. The dark clouds pressed down on the city. Amidst the Lightning and thunder, many people from the Purple Moon Palace were a little nervous. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue were especially anxious as they looked at the horizon. In a secret chamber of the Purple Moon Palace, a figure suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed. He flew into the sky and instantly flew into the clouds. He opened his arms and allowed the heavenly lightning to strike down and explode on his body. In hailing city, some people had solemn expressions. The second ninth sky of the Nirvana stage of the Purple Moon Palace had appeared¡­ Chapter 460 - The Auction Recorded in the History Books Luo Haoyu did not undergo the tribulation in the sky above Purple Moon Palace. Instead, he entered the mountain range and engaged in a fierce battle with the heavenly lightning. An hour later, he appeared in the sky above the mountain range, bathed in the lightning and howled towards the sky. His aura was even more condensed, and his combat strength was even stronger than the Qi Luo. After all, he did not rely on the spiritual pills to directly increase his cultivation. ¡°Congratulations, Elder Luo.¡± Lin Mo and the others came to welcome him. When they saw that Luo Haoyu had successfully transcended the tribulation, they were ecstatic. From today onwards, Purple Moon Palace had two Ninth Sky Nirvana Realm cultivators and three armies. They had completely stabilized their footing. ¡°Congratulations, fellow Daoist, you¡¯ve successfully transcended the tribulation.¡± From afar, someone flew over and cupped his fists to congratulate him. Luo Haoyu returned the greetings one by one. Seeing this, Lin Mo also took out the gilt golden cauldron that he had obtained from the auction earlier. ¡°Elder Luo, this is an earth grade tier one magic tool. The Gilded Golden Cauldron is perfect for you.¡± Under everyone¡¯s envious gazes, Luo Haoyu took the gilded golden cauldron and planted a soul imprint on it. He was very satisfied. ¡°Haha, Thank You, vice palace master.¡± Luo Haoyu laughed loudly. The others were also extremely envious. Earth grade magic tools were incomparably precious, but the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s higher-ups seemed to have one in their possession. Last time, they had seen a little girl with an earth-grade magic artifact in her body, which was of an even higher grade. Where exactly did Lin Mo get this magic artifact? Even if he frequented forbidden areas, he had obtained too many treasures¡­ ¡°Elder Luo came out of seclusion at the right time. There will be an auction that will go down in history tomorrow, and Elder Luo will be needed to oversee it.¡± Lin Mo smiled and said. Qi Luo would oversee the Purple Moon Palace and guard the Treasury together with the purple spirit guards. They would not leave unless it was absolutely necessary. As for the hailing city¡¯s Yue Xuan, Luo Haoyu would be needed to oversee it. ¡°To be able to oversee such an auction, this old man is more than happy to do so.¡± Luo Haoyu smiled and nodded. He returned to the Purple Moon Palace with Lin Mo and the others. ¡°Palace Head, you and Miss Bai Luo should also undergo the tribulation as soon as possible. Bathing in the heavenly tribulation is akin to being reborn.¡± In the Purple Moon Palace, Luo Haoyu said and told them how he felt when he was going through the heavenly tribulation. After a short conversation, Bai Luo came to the conclusion that it was not the time to go through the heavenly tribulation yet. ¡°Let¡¯s forget about Xiyue and me. Lil¡¯ Die, you guys who are going through the heavenly tribulation, don¡¯t get too close.¡± Bai Luo said. Lin Die was an innate rare beast, just like the God Devouring Body, it could easily trigger the jealousy of the heavens. Once someone who had transcended the heavenly tribulation appeared in front of her, heaven would soon sense it and send down a divine punishment. A guard reported that various forces had come to pay a visit to Luo Haoyu and Qi Luo, the two experts of the ninth layer. Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue benefited from the visit. As they were the palace master and Vice Palace Master, they were sitting at the same table with a group of supreme experts. They toasted each other and greeted Luo Haoyu. At the same time, they also asked about some news about the auction tomorrow. ¡°What? Vice Palace Master, are you serious? There¡¯s a lucky grass auction?¡± Zhen Wu De of Great Yan Divine Empire was the first to be unable to sit still. The lucky grass was a rare treasure that was blessed by the heavens. ¡°Of course, but the lucky grass is extremely precious. It¡¯s none of my business if any of you can get it.¡± Lin Mo raised his cup, his eyes slightly shifting as he glanced at Saintess Xia you. Seeing this, she raised her cup to him. The fate grass had been decided internally and was auctioned by Saintess Xia you. She claimed that Lin Mo had found it in the forbidden area. Both parties would benefit from it, so they naturally wouldn¡¯t expose anything. The gathering continued until late at night. Many people wanted to befriend Lin Mo. . Some even planned to send the pearl of the family over to be Lin Mo¡¯s concubine. However, Jiang Xiyue rejected them and rejected them. ¡°Vice palace master, we¡¯ll see you at the auction tomorrow. We¡¯re looking forward to it.¡± Before they left, these people said one after another. They couldn¡¯t wait to participate in the auction tomorrow. After preparing for the entire night, Lin Mo and Jiang Xiyue took stock of the auction items. In the end, they decided to divide the auction into three grades. This way, the people in the hall wouldn¡¯t become spectators. ¡°Did you rob the Forbidden Area? So many?¡± In the room, Jiang Xiyue looked at the list with her mouth agape. She called Bai Luo and the others over to check, and they were all shocked speechless. ¡°Tell me the truth. Do you have any special methods to break into the forbidden area?¡± Bai Luo said unhappily. Lin Mo must be hiding something, which Luo Haoyu and Qiluo agreed with. Even if the two of them went to the forbidden area together, they didn¡¯t dare to say that they would be able to bring out so many treasures. Moreover, Lin Mo¡¯s strength was only at the third sky of the Nirvana Realm. ¡°Ahem, I said I was lucky, do you believe me?¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and chuckled. ¡°Nonsense, who would believe you?¡± This time, Jiang Xiyue didn¡¯t believe Lin Mo either. She stared at him, not believing that a person¡¯s luck could be this good. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s discuss how to hold the auction¡­¡± Qiluo advised. There were so many treasures. It was enough for these people to auction, but if they put them all together, it would take an entire day. ¡°That¡¯s simple. We¡¯ll rent two auctions in Hailing city. Duanmu Jia and Huixiang will host them.¡± Lin Mo said. He had already made plans, but he needed everyone to distribute the treasures. He got a few elders to bring Duanmu Jia to preside over the auction. The treasures being auctioned would range from spirit rank 1 to spirit rank 5. He would provide the weaker people with treasures so that they wouldn¡¯t have to return empty-handed. As for Huixiang, she would bring the treasures from spirit rank 5 to spirit rank 9 to the auction. The finale would be a half-step Earth rank treasure. In the end, Lin Mo would personally preside over the auction at Yue Xuan, auctioning the treasures that were half-step Earth rank and above. The finale would be the Green Nether Jade. This way, Yue Xuan wouldn¡¯t be overcrowded. ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea. However, I have to participate in the auction as well. There are some treasures that are beneficial to our cultivation, so we can buy them.¡± Bai Luo said as he exchanged glances with Lin Mo.. The two of them recalled the past, and they worked together to raise the bid, scamming the spirit stones from the opposing factions¡­ However, they didn¡¯t need to resort to such methods anymore. This was because they didn¡¯t need to raise the bid, and they could raise it to the highest possible price¡­ After organizing the treasures for the entire night, Lin Mo took a short break, and it was already the afternoon of the second day. He and Luo Haoyu arrived at Yue Xuan, and the place was already filled to the brim with people. Although there were two stages of the auction, Yue Xuan was still packed with people, and it was completely packed. There were many people who didn¡¯t come for the auction, but to take a look at the Green Nether Jade. ¡°Welcome to the Moon Pavilion Auction.¡± Lin Mo stood on the auction stage, looking down at the crowd below, feeling a little helpless. Actually, only these people in the private room were participating in the bidding. The rest of the people were just spectators. Perhaps some of them had the strength to participate, but most of them were still competing for the top-notch strength. ¡°There are a total of 57 items in this auction, all of them are half-step earth rank and above.¡± ¡°If you wish to auction off low-level items, you can head to the other two locations.¡± After exchanging pleasantries, no one walked around. They were all waiting to observe this grand auction. ¡°Let the auction begin. Please welcome the first item.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer for the first time and took out an ice-blue ginseng from the system space. ¡°Half-step Earth rank, ice snow spirit ginseng. This is the advanced version of the ice crystal ginseng. Its medicinal effects are stronger and gentler.¡± ¡°Starting bid, 12,000,000 medium grade spirit stones¡­¡± Chapter 461 - The Reclusive Expert The first item was a half-step earth rank auction item. If this had been in another auction house, it would have been a luxurious finale item. However, in Lin Mo¡¯s place, it could only be the beginning. ¡°This spirit ginseng is a rare treasure. If everyone doesn¡¯t bid, then this old man will not stand on ceremony.¡± In a private room at the side, a window was opened. An old man with white hair was drinking wine as he smiled. ¡°15 million mid-grade spirit stones.¡± His bid broke the silence. Everyone in the hall was shocked as they all turned their gazes over. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the old man Xuan Yao who has been living in seclusion for hundreds of years?¡± ¡°Back then, he was already an eighth-ranked spirit alchemist. After a few hundred years, he should already be a ninth-ranked spirit alchemist.¡± ¡°That¡¯s for sure. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that earth-ranked spirit alchemists need immortal-foundation experts to lead them, Old Man Xuan Yao would have long reached this realm.¡± The people discussed animatedly. From the words of the crowd, Lin Mo could tell that this old man was extraordinary. He cupped his fists towards Old Man Xuan Yao to show his respect. ¡°Haha, Xuan Yao, you really came. I still thought that you would live in seclusion for the rest of your life.¡± A clear voice rang out. Behind the private room, a middle-aged man walked out and swaggered into Old Man Xuan Yao¡¯s private room. Before he walked in, someone in the private room he was previously in bid, ¡°20 million.¡± ¡°Xuan Yao, Don¡¯t blame me. My disciple needs the ice snow spirit ginseng. I want it.¡± ¡°The rest of you, please give me, Meng Lie, some face.¡± Before walking in, the middle-aged man said a few words. He was extremely overbearing, but no one spoke¡­ Occasionally, the sound of glasses clinking could be heard from the private room. The two of them were also chatting happily. This sudden interlude caused the entire place to quieten down. What made Lin Mo somewhat surprised was that there was actually no one bidding in the other private rooms. The price of the ice snow spirit ginseng was obviously not limited to this. However, there were auction rules, so he couldn¡¯t possibly ask for more spirit stones¡­ ¡°25 million.¡±At this moment, Bai Luo¡¯s voice sounded, causing Lin Mo to heave a sigh of relief. Although raising the price was a little disgraceful, this person had used a threatening method to make others not bid, so he didn¡¯t stand on ceremony. After all, the ice snow spirit ginseng had earned a profit back from the previous ice crystal ginseng. If it was sold at a loss, it would really be a loss. The system wouldn¡¯t give a profit back at all. ¡°HMPH, there¡¯s really someone who dares to bid!¡± From within the private room, the voice of a young man could be heard. He walked out of the private room and looked around coldly, wanting to find out who was bidding. However, when he swept his gaze around, he realized that he could not find that person¡¯s aura at all. ¡°Guest, in the auction ground, if you¡¯re capable of bidding, please sit back down.¡±Lin Mo said with a frown. This person was full of arrogance and looked down on the people around him. was he going to make a move just because someone was bidding against him? ¡°TSK, who do you think you are? In My Eyes, in the outside world, only Saintess Xia you can make a move. The rest can¡¯t.¡± The young man who called himself Meng Tian gave Lin Mo a thumbs-up and flipped his body downward. He was full of provocation. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo was about to make a move and exchange a few moves with Meng Tian. ¡°Do you have any objections to my offer?¡± Before Lin Mo could make a move, Bai Luo had already walked out of the private room and looked at Meng Tian indifferently. ¡°Who are you?¡±Meng Tian looked at Bai Luo. Everyone in the hall was also shocked by Bai Luo. At this moment, Bai Luo was wearing a white robe and battle armor. She looked valiant and valiant, like a female martial god. The Aura on her body also shocked everyone. She was at the fifth sky of the Nirvana stage and was on par with Meng Tian. ¡°This person seems to be from the Purple Moon Palace. What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t this auction hosted by the Purple Moon Palace?¡± Someone raised a question. The Purple Moon Palace was holding an auction and they still needed their own people to raise the price? ¡°Are you stupid? The Purple Moon Palace is holding such a grand auction. Do you think the auction items are all taken out by the Purple Moon Palace?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. The weakest of them are at least half-step earth rank. They will definitely be tempted. It¡¯s normal for them to participate in the auction.¡± The people quickly found an excuse. They did not even need Lin Mo and Bai Luo to explain themselves. However, their conversation ended in the next moment. This was because Meng Tian did not care about that. A pair of purple-gold battle hammers appeared in his hands and he smashed them towards Bai Luo. ¡°You have to defeat me first before you are qualified to compete with me.¡± ¡°Boom.¡± The battle was triggered in an instant, causing people to be unable to react in time. Fortunately, there were also experts present. They acted in time to block the aftershocks of the battle between the two of them, preventing any accidents from happening. ¡°Not bad. What¡¯s your identity? Tell me your name.¡± Meng Tian laughed out loud. Seeing Bai Luo receiving the purple-gold battle hammers with his bare hands, his battle intent surged. He asked Bai Luo where he came from. ¡°My identity¡­¡± Bai Luo laughed mockingly and said, ¡°Purple Moon Palace¡¯s commander-in-chief, Bai Luo.¡± Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Each of the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s three armies was stronger than the other. This was especially so for the purple spirit guards. They might not even be a match for someone at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm if they were to completely erupt. They originally thought that the commander-in-chief of these three armies would be purple Moon Palace¡¯s palace master, Jiang Xiyue. Even if they took a step back, it would still be Vice Palace Master Lin Mo.. In the end, it turned out to be such an unfamiliar woman. ¡°Commander-in-chief of the three armies, Haha, you do have some qualifications to fight with me.¡± Meng Tian¡¯s fighting spirit rose as he fought with Bai Luo. However, all of his attacks were dealt with calmly by Bai Luo. He seemed to be able to handle it with ease. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s face turned completely black. What commander-in-chief of the three armies? was he appointed by himself¡­ However, Bai Luo was right. She had been guiding the three armies and helping them through the heavenly tribulation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this is Yue Xuan, the auction house, not the 1V1 Arena.¡± The battle was very exciting. Both of them were very strong, but Lin Mo had no choice but to make his move. The Kun Peng spread its wings on its back and the purple divine light under its feet lit up. Then, it appeared directly behind Meng Tian. Bai Luo had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The purple divine light appeared under his feet, just like Lin Mo.. ¡°Kirin Steps¡±was activated at the same time, and it landed on Meng Tian¡¯s body. Terrifying ripples spread out instantly. At the critical moment, golden light enveloped the battlefield and destroyed all the ripples. At the same time, a familiar long spear appeared. ¡°With your status, it¡¯s not appropriate for you to attack a junior.¡± Qiluo¡¯s voice was heard. She stood in front of Lin Mo and Bai Luo, holding the radiant sun long spear in her hand and staring at the figure in front of her. Meng Tian was caught by someone. His chest and back were badly mutilated. He was injured by the ¡®Kirin Steps¡¯. Meng Lie, who was drinking with Old Man Xuan Yao just now, looked at Lin Mo and the rest with a gloomy expression. The hall was quiet. No one had expected things to develop to this stage. Some of the older people remembered that this person was called Meng Lie. He was a top-notch genius from a thousand years ago and had once studied in the divine armament sacred land. At the same time, he was also a member of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty and was once conferred the title of Blazing Fire King. However, he had announced his retirement 300 years ago and no longer meddled in the affairs of the outside world. Now, because of the heavenly tribulation and the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s auction, he had brought out a disciple with heaven-defying combat strength. ¡°HMPH, it¡¯s just a spar. You, a junior, launched a sneak attack. You have no sense of shame,¡±Meng Lie said coldly. Chapter 462 - Blood Essence Soul Pill If his disciple had been defeated, he wouldn¡¯t have asked. But now that he had been injured by a sneak attack, he wanted an explanation. ¡°Call Your Palace master out. If you don¡¯t give me an explanation, I¡¯m afraid your auction won¡¯t go on.¡± Meng Lie¡¯s attitude was firm. He said that Lin Mo wasn¡¯t qualified to talk to him and asked Jiang Xiyue to come out. ¡°Purple Spirit Guards, prepare for battle.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s voice responded to him. She opened her red lips and gave the order. ¡°Fight!¡± In the next moment, a strong fighting spirit surged out, and the entire hailing city trembled at this moment. Although there were fewer purple spirit guards, the rest were people who had passed the heavenly tribulation. There were hundreds of Nirvana realm warriors among them. The condensed fighting spirit was even stronger. Not to mention one ninth sky of Nirvana realm warrior, even two of them could be dealt with. ¡°If you want to see the palace master, after the auction is over, you can send the greeting card yourself.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and flew back to the auction stage. He took out the ice snow spirit ginseng once again and said, ¡°The auction continues. If you still intend to cause trouble, you must bear the consequences.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the purple spirit guards outside had already set up a formation. The four spirit battle formation was set up. Such a terrifying battle intent moved everyone present. This included the ninth sky of the Nirvana stage that had already transcended their tribulations. The three elders of the Divine Secrets Holy Land were extremely shocked. Under this battle intent, they were actually not sure if they could escape. This was too terrifying. Wasn¡¯t this army a little too strong. ¡°Enough, such a good auction has actually become like this¡­¡± At this moment, in a private room, Old Man Xuan Yao walked out. He held a walking stick with a wine gourd hanging above it. ¡°Meng Lie, you are already a retired person. Do you still intend to stand up for the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty?¡± Old Man Xuan Yao tried to persuade him. He had lived for so long, how could he not see that Meng Lie was dissatisfied with Jiang Xiyue¡¯s judgment of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty. Today, he had instructed his disciple to cause trouble. He had also planned to call out Jiang Xiyue and give her a good beating. However, he did not expect that his disciple would not be able to hold on for a minute. Even he himself was caught in a dilemma. ¡°Vice palace master, this old man bids forty million for this ice snow spirit ginseng. This price is not bad. Sell it to me.¡± The mysterious medicine elder looked at Lin Mo and acted as a mediator. However, Lin Mo¡¯s gaze was not very friendly. If this Meng Lie was planning to help the Yanhuang Divine dynasty, he would be an enemy. When faced with an enemy, he would not show mercy. ¡°Alright, then we will do as senior says.¡± At this moment, Jiang Xiyue, who had been watching from the backstage, walked out and nodded at Lin Mo. . ¡°Alright, the auction is more important. Otherwise, the Purple Moon Palace won¡¯t be able to support you,¡±she said gently while hugging Lin Mo¡¯s arm. ¡°Then, do you want to settle the score later?¡±Lin Mo asked with a smile. ¡°It depends on the situation. I¡¯ll leave it to you to handle it.¡±Jiang Xiyue stuck out her tongue. Sometimes, she really wanted to swap places with Lin Mo. . Lin Mo should be the palace master. After all, Lin Mo was the one who handled everything¡­ ¡°True Dragon¡¯s blood?¡± Jiang Xiyue¡¯s appearance caused Meng Lie and Old Man Xuan Yao to be greatly shocked. They had long been peak experts at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm and were only a step away from Immortal Foundation. Their soul senses were naturally very powerful. With a glance, they could see the true dragon¡¯s blood in Jiang Xiyue¡¯s body. Apart from shock, there was also deep envy. If they had obtained the blood of a true dragon when they were young, perhaps immortal-foundation experts would have been born long ago¡­ ¡°This senior, the entire auction will be conducted on the spot.¡± Lin Mo reminded. At this moment, Meng Lie had already listened to his advice and was stopped by the old man Xuan Yao. Lin Mo also successfully traded with the Old Man Xuan Yao. The first auction item was finally auctioned off. ¡°Sigh, standing at the peak of the storm will indeed bring about changes¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The purple spirit guards outside had been withdrawn, but Qi Luo and Luo Haoyu stayed behind. Bai Luo didn¡¯t stay. He left with Jiang Xiyue and returned to Purple Moon Palace. Yan Rong was called over to replace Bai Luo and auction off some more useful treasures. After all, Bai Luo had just displayed great battle strength, along with Lin Mo, who had the god devouring body, and Jiang Xiyue, who had the bloodline of a true dragon. Purple Moon Palace had a total of three peerless geniuses, and this was a great threat to the other factions. No matter what, it was best not to stay in this place where a battle could happen at any time. ¡°This second item is a half-step earth grade spirit pill from the Monolith Forbidden Ground. This is a healing holy item, a ninth Sky Nirvana realm expert. Even if he is heavily injured, as long as he consumes it, he will be able to recover.¡± ¡°This spirit pill is called the blood and Qi pill. It can even heal the injuries of the soul.¡± ¡°However, the person who consumes it will have a strong resistance to the medicine. If he consumes it again, there won¡¯t be any effect.¡± The Blood and Qi pill was a rare treasure in the rock forbidden ground. However, Lin Mo had taken seven of them in one go. Since it was inconvenient to explain, he gave one to Qi Luo and Luo Haoyu. The remaining five pills were given to the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s Chief Alchemist, Bai Luo, Jiang Xiyue, and Xiao Die. There was one. The last one was his own. He took it out and auctioned it off. It was a pity that he couldn¡¯t sell all of it. Otherwise, he would have gotten seven Earth grade panaceas. ¡°It¡¯s actually this kind of panaceas that can heal in an instant.¡± After Lin Mo¡¯s introduction, some people couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. There were quite a number of ninth Sky Nirvana realm experts present. At this realm, the effects of ordinary spirit pills would be greatly reduced. Even a ninth level spirit rank pill could only exert 60% of its medicinal effects. Right now, this blood essence soul pill was equivalent to a second life for them. They couldn¡¯t give it up. ¡°Due to the versatility of the blood essence soul pill, the starting price for this spirit pill is 30 million.¡± The high starting price made everyone in the hall speechless. Lin Mo¡¯s arrangements were indeed correct. An auction of this scale was not something they could participate in. Fortunately, they had come with a wait-and-see attitude from the start, so they were not too disappointed. At this moment, everyone in the private room had already started bidding. The first to bid was actually Meng Lie, who had caused a conflict previously. When faced with a spirit pill that could save his life, he could not ignore it. ¡°40 million, senior blazing fire king. This elixir has an extraordinary significance to the Yanhuang Divine dynasty. I hope you can fulfill it.¡± In the private room, the voice of the tenth princess of the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty was heard. Among the numerous bids, she was the only one who was a junior. Competing with a group of eighth sky and ninth Sky Nirvana realm experts, she must have been under a lot of pressure. However, there was nothing she could do. The so-called retired emperor Jiang Feng was trying his best to suppress his presence to avoid making Lin Mo angry. This auction was very important, and they had to participate until the end no matter what. They couldn¡¯t afford to make any mistakes in the process, so they could only let the tenth princess suffer. ¡°Forty-three million yuan. I want this blood essence soul pill as well.¡± Saintess Xia you made her bid. After waiting for so long, she finally spoke up. She was very satisfied with the auction item this time. ¡°They are all fighting for it. Then, I¡¯ll join in as well.¡± On the other side, the people from Great Yan dynasty also joined in. Zhen Wu De¡¯s young voice was heard, and he began to raise the bid. Soon, along with the competition from many parties, the value of this blood and Qi soul pill had been raised to a high price of seventy million. And judging from the situation, none of them had backed out yet, and the price was still rising. In the blink of an eye, the price had already reached eighty million middle-grade spirit stones¡­ Chapter 463 - Hurricane Leg Technique For a half-step Earth rank spirit pill to be auctioned off at such a high price, it left everyone flabbergasted. Meanwhile, Lin Mo was also filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have braced himself and asked for these spirit pills back then. At that time, he would have earned nearly 500 million middle-grade spirit stones. Moreover, he would also be able to obtain a treasure that would return a profit. Why Not? ¡°82 million, this is my bottom line. Meng lie, if you can add another million, this old man will let you go.¡± In the private room, elder Xuan Yao said. He was also very eager for the Qi Blood Soul Pill, but the price now was a little too expensive. ¡°Xuan Yao, you win.¡± Meng Lie didn¡¯t bid in the end. He would still feel bad if he took out more than 80 million middle-grade spirit stones. After all, he had left the Yanhuang dynasty for many years, and his savings were almost used up. ¡°82 million going once.¡± ¡°82 million going twice.¡± ¡°82 million going three times, sold.¡± Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer down. After three times, the Xuan Yao Old Man bought the treasure again. ¡°Congratulations, senior. This blood and Qi pill is yours.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction when he traded with the old man. The old man was also very satisfied. It was a win-win situation for both of them to obtain a life-saving elixir pill. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a half-step earth grade blood and Qi Pill ] [ you have successfully triggered a 500-fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Level 1 Earth Grade Soul Melting Elixir Pill ] The return was 500-fold, but he still managed to obtain a Level 1 earth soul fusion pill. Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly checked the effects of the pill and was extremely shocked. The Earth Soul Fusion Pill had the effect of reviving the dead. It could only be used by those below the Immortal Foundation realm. It could be said that as long as there was still a sliver of a soul left, the Earth Soul Fusion Pill would be able to revive you. Of course, if the soul was severely damaged, one¡¯s strength would also be damaged after being resurrected. The soul would be the first to be created and there would be no way to cultivate. But overall, it was an extremely heaven-defying spirit pill. This was equivalent to having a guarantee on one¡¯s life. Previously, Bai Luo had been worried that something would happen to Xiao Die while she was transcending the tribulation. But now, with this Earth Soul Fusion Spirit Pill, Xiao Die¡¯s safety was guaranteed and she could safely transcend the tribulation. ¡°Sorry for the wait. The third item is a martial art.¡± Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then woke up under everyone¡¯s urging. After smiling apologetically, he took out a scroll from the system space. ¡°Half-step Earth rank leg technique martial art, wind god leg.¡± ¡°This martial art can be used very quickly, and its attack power is very strong. However, it requires a wind attribute cultivator to cultivate it.¡± ¡°Other people can also cultivate it, but the effect isn¡¯t great, and its power will be greatly reduced.¡± ¡°The starting price is nine million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± The price this time was a bit low. Martial Arts shouldn¡¯t be priced at this price, but unfortunately, the ¡°Wind God¡¯s leg¡±had very big restrictions. Moreover, at this level, people actually preferred magic tools, spirit pills, and spirit medicines. They also liked some precious natural treasures, and the next was the cultivation method, martial arts. After all, it was very difficult to comprehend earth grade martial arts. If he couldn¡¯t learn it after buying it, not only would he be ridiculed, he would lose more than he gained by selling it. ¡°10 million.¡± Someone called out the price. It was a seventh sky of Nirvana realm expert. He saw that everyone wasn¡¯t bidding for it, so he opened his mouth and planned to take advantage of the situation. ¡°11 million.¡± ¡°12 million.¡± One after another, many people participated in the bidding. On the other hand, the people from the major powers were silent. Normally, they would be willing to fight for the half-step Earth realm. If it wasn¡¯t suitable for them, they could also add some foundation to their clans or sects. However, it was different now. They all had to keep their spirit stones to bid for the treasures behind. No one was willing to waste them. In the end, this ¡°Wind God¡¯s leg¡±was bought by an expert at the 8th sky of the Nirvana realm. The price was 24 million. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the half-step earth rank ¡°Wind God¡¯s leg¡±] [ you have successfully triggered the 10,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the earth rank 4th rank ¡°Hurricane leg technique¡±] The loss from the auction was a little too much. The system¡¯s multiplier was also quite high. It was directly 10,000 times. However, what made Lin Mo helpless was that there didn¡¯t seem to be anyone with the wind attribute on their side. Yan Rong was about to break through to Nirvana stage, but he had recently become Luo Haoyu¡¯s disciple. The attribute he chose was the metal attribute, so there was no way for his own people to cultivate this ¡°Hurricane leg technique¡±. ¡°Forget it, there are many people at the auction today anyway, I¡¯ll sell it¡­¡± Lin Mo made up his mind. It was temporarily worthless in his hands, so he might as well sell it directly. Although he didn¡¯t have time to make a copy and use it as the foundation of the Purple Moon Palace, he didn¡¯t need it for the time being. ¡°The fourth item is a half-step Earth rank magic weapon, a bronze spear from ancient times.¡± ¡°This item was sent by someone else. It¡¯s said that it came from the Underwater Dragon Palace and was heavily corroded, but it can still unleash the power of a half-step earth rank magic weapon.¡± Lin Mo introduced it. It was a forbidden item and was very precious. In the past, it would be fought over by various forces. However, it wasn¡¯t very precious when it appeared at the Yue Xuan auction. At the very least, its selling price wouldn¡¯t be higher than the Qi blood soul pill. ¡°Bronze spear, starting bid, 15 million mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo knocked down the auction hammer and the auction began. The bronze spear came from a forbidden area and attracted the attention of several sacred lands. After a round of fighting, the person who bought this item surprised Lin Mo. it was someone from the ancient moon sacred land in the Yan Huang Dynasty. There were two powerful sacred lands in the Yan Huang Dynasty, the Thunder Sacred Land and the ancient moon sacred land. These two large forces had eighth sky of the Nirvana realm guarding them. Of course, there were rumors in the outside world that they had ninth sky experts. Even the imperial family didn¡¯t dare to touch them casually. After completing the transaction with the Holy Lord of the ancient Moon Holy Land, the transaction price was 37 million, and the magic weapon was quite popular. [ congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a half-step earth grade bronze spear ] [ successfully triggered 5,000 times the auction¡¯s profit ] [ congratulations to host for obtaining a second rank Earth grade magic weapon bronze spear ] The profit was given to a bronze spear that was almost the same, but the one in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was even stronger. The rust on it had lessened a little, and some special patterns had been added to it, making it seem even more powerful. ¡°Unfortunately, this is still not complete¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. A 2nd rank Earth rank bronze spear should be less than half of what it was when it was at its peak. Time was like a blade. Not only was it used to slay Heaven¡¯s pride, even spiritual artifacts were no exception¡­ ¡°Mm, auctioning it in order seems a little boring. Although the half-step earth rank treasures have yet to be auctioned off, I believe everyone will be able to accept auctioning the earth rank treasures ahead of time.¡± Seeing that the atmosphere in the auction hall had turned a little cold, Lin Mo spoke at the right time. Previously, the Blood Qi soul pill had caused a climax, but the subsequent auction items had not been able to surpass it. As a result, people no longer cared about the subsequent treasures. After pondering for a moment, he fortunately took out the that he had obtained previously. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is¡­¡± A thick book appeared in his hand. As soon as it appeared, a gentle breeze blew around Lin Mo.. ¡°This is an earth rank 4 wind attribute leg technique, hurricane leg technique.¡± Chapter 464 - Empty Spirit Bell The auction house became silent. Even Qi Luo and Luo Haoyu who were sitting at the side of the auction table were shocked. Although a Level 4 earth realm technique was of the wind attribute, it couldn¡¯t be sold. Even in the Divine Secrets Holy Land, it could only be compared to ancient techniques. ¡°Cough Cough.¡± Luo Haoyu coughed. At the same time, his aura was faintly released, intimidating these people. There was nothing they could do. The treasures that Lin Mo took out were getting stronger and stronger. These people could easily start fighting. ¡°Brother Lin, tell me the price.¡± The Great Ancient God dynasty¡¯s third princess, Gu Luo, walked out. Her expression was excited as she looked at this scroll of martial arts. She couldn¡¯t be blamed for being so excited, because she was a wind attribute cultivator. The great ancient God dynasty had spent a huge price to find a 2nd rank earth rank wind attribute cultivation technique for her. Moreover, this cultivation technique was incomplete, and the accompanying martial technique wasn¡¯t complete. However, it made her invincible amongst the younger generation of the great ancient God dynasty. Now that she had an even better one, no matter what price she had to pay, she had to obtain it. ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t introduce it. Earth rank 4th rank leg technique, hurricane leg technique. The starting bid is 60 million mid-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. As soon as he finished his words, several forces at the front began to compete. Saintess Xia you also had the wind attribute, which allowed her to maximize the power of the ¡®hurricane leg technique¡¯. She was competing with Gu Luo at the same time, causing the price to soar. In just three minutes, under the crowd¡¯s bidding, the ¡®hurricane leg technique¡¯broke through one hundred million middle-grade spirit stones. Even so, the only ones who gave up were the Yanhuang dynasty and Great Yan dynasty. Lu Jin dynasty, Great Ancient Dynasty, Divine Secrets Sacred Land, and another ninth sky of Nirvana realm expert who had concealed his identity. Under the increase of the bid from these four parties, 100 million was not the final bid. ¡°This is too outrageous! Purple Moon Palace is really using all kinds of treasures to auction. They even brought out a martial technique that represents their foundation.¡± ¡°Ai, there¡¯s nothing we can do about it. I heard that Lin Mo has the body of devouring divinity, so he needs too many energy stones to cultivate in the later stage.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. If he doesn¡¯t sell it, he won¡¯t be able to cultivate.¡± Everyone in the hall discussed. After another two minutes, the price of the was raised to 150 million. At this moment, the reclusive expert had already given up. He didn¡¯t have enough spirit stones. If this continued, when the price reached 170 million, only Saint Xia you and Gu Luo were still bidding. ¡°Saintess Xia You, Your Divine Secrets Sacred Land doesn¡¯t lack martial arts. Why are you so eager to compete? Can¡¯t you leave some spirit stones to auction the Green Destiny Jade?¡± Gu Luo frowned. This price was almost beyond the bottom line of the dynasty. Although she was the third princess, she hadn¡¯t inherited the dynasty yet. Her talent was extraordinary, but she was still a junior, so she couldn¡¯t mobilize all the resources. However, Saintess Xiyou was different. In the sacred land, other than the sacred lord, the Saintess had the most power. Therefore, the resources she could mobilize were extremely rich. Almost everyone in this auction thought that Saintess Xiyou could win the Qingming Jade. ¡°Sister Gu Luo, you¡¯re exaggerating. A fourth rank Earth rank martial art is so compatible. I Can¡¯t bear to give it up.¡± Saintess xiyou continued to speak, unwilling to give up. ¡°173 million.¡± ¡°174 million.¡± Neither of them wanted to give it up. As they continued to add on, the crowd¡¯s hearts couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Even Lin Mo was shocked. Based on the trend of these two, could it be that they were going to break through 200 million? The reality was the same. The two of them didn¡¯t give in to each other in their bids. Gu Luo also gave up on the final item, the Green Nether Jade, to compete with Saintess Xia you. Another three minutes passed, and the price had already reached 200 million. Some people were already dumbfounded. ¡°My God, this is indeed an auction that can go down in history. The price of this auction is too outrageous¡­¡± ¡°Although I haven¡¯t bid once, to be able to see such a grand event is not a waste of my life.¡± Many people praised and looked forward to the outcome. Their eyes were burning as they looked at Saintess Xiyou and Princess Gu Luo who were bidding. At this moment, the two of them were silent as they pondered. Their lips moved slightly as they discussed with the elders of their respective factions in the private room. On the stage, Lin Mo didn¡¯t hurry them and just waited. The current price was 213 million. He estimated that the bid was about to close. It All depended on which of the two of them gave up first. However, there was one thing that he was certain of. Whoever won the ¡°Hurricane leg technique¡±would basically have no chance of winning the final round of the Green Nether Jade. Unless he sold the treasure that he had obtained from the previous auction. However, this was a little unnecessary. ¡°Sigh, forget it. Since sister Gu Luo wants it, I won¡¯t fight for it. I¡¯ll wait for the Qingming Jade later¡­¡± After a series of discussions, Saintess Xia you sighed. Although she was reluctant to part with an Earth rank fourth rank martial art, she could only give it up. Hearing this, Gu Luo heaved a sigh of relief, but soon after, her heart ached as well. Spending 213 million middle-grade spirit stones in one go, this price was truly too expensive, causing her to be unable to obtain the final treasure. ¡°Brother Lin, announce the results¡­¡± Princess Gu Luo said, and only then did Lin Mo unwillingly drop the auction hammer and announce the results. The people in the hall were also satisfied, witnessing an auction that would go down in history. ¡°The auction continues. Next up is a half-step earth rank martial art¡­¡± After confirming that there were no mistakes in the transaction between Lin Mo and Gu Luo, the auction began. This time, they were fully prepared. Half-step earth rank treasures occupied the majority of the auction. Forty-five half-step Earth rank treasures were auctioned off. Half of them were sent to be auctioned off by others in order to exchange for spirit stones. Naturally, the purpose was to compete for Earth grade treasures. ¡°The 46th item, the rest of the items are all earth grade. If you all want it, you¡¯ll have to raise your spirits.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. There were many treasures, and no large faction could swallow them all by themselves. With the appearance of an Earth grade treasure, the competition became intense. The 46th item was a spatial magic tool. It wasn¡¯t a storage space, but a battle-type magic tool with spatial attributes. The rarity of this magic tool was needless to say. It was something that a mysterious expert had used to bid for it. When Lin Mo saw it back then, he was shocked. ¡°This item is called the empty spirit bell. It¡¯s an earth-rank rank 2 item and is extremely complete. It originated from a forbidden area. It was something that a senior had spent a lot of effort to obtain back then.¡± ¡°He¡¯s planning to auction it off now. If you all want it, don¡¯t miss it.¡± Lin Mo said. Spatial-type battle-type artifacts were rare. As such, its price was extremely ridiculous. ¡°The starting price is 50 million. Each bid must be raised by at least 1 million.¡± Although the starting price was only 50 million, its value wasn¡¯t limited to that. Soon, it was raised to 80 million. At this moment, Princess Gu Luo of the great ancient God dynasty also joined in. She still had spirit stones. Although she could not compete for the final Qingming Jade, she could still compete for other things. ¡°90 million.¡± Gu Luo opened his mouth to bid against Meng Lie. This expert could not help but bid. The Void Spirit Bell, a spatial type magic tool, was very useful for exploring some forbidden areas of the eastern continent. If they could obtain it, they might be able to open a forbidden area. Just like Lin Mo and the others, they might be able to take away all the treasures in the forbidden area¡­ Chapter 465 - Sky Demon ¡°93 million.¡± The Crown Prince of Lu Jin dynasty bid to compete with her. In addition, the Old Man Xuan Yao was also competing. No one expected him to compete for the spiritual artifact. ¡°Hehe, I know who put this thing up for auction. My friend, I have an ancient spiritual pill here. How about this spiritual artifact of yours?¡± The mysterious medicine old man walked out and said as he scanned the hall behind him with his spiritual power. In the end, he was a little disappointed because he didn¡¯t manage to find the other party¡­ ¡°Senior, what kind of Spirit Pill is it? You can hand it over to this junior for auction, or you can exchange it with that senior.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile on the stage. The spirit pills from the ancient times could be left behind, and nothing was defective. After the wear and tear of time, the medicinal effects would definitely have worn out. To be treated as a treasure like this, it could be seen how precious the spirit pills were at their peak. ¡°Mystic Medicine, is your soul power failing? Haven¡¯t you found where this old body is?¡± An aged laughter sounded out. In the hall, in a row of seats at the back, an old woman dressed in coarse linen clothes waved her hand. Everyone looked over and stared at her. Everyone held their breaths and looked at her carefully. Their faces were filled with confusion. Only some very old people thought for a moment before their expressions changed drastically and they retreated. The crowd around the old woman dispersed in a hubbub. No one dared to stay. ¡°She¡¯s Tian Sha, the evil cultivator who nearly wiped out half of the people in the eastern lands five thousand years ago¡­¡± Some people recalled what had happened in the past and were extremely shocked. This person was a vicious person, and his reputation outside wasn¡¯t good. He was notorious and was called an evil cultivator. Even Lin Mo, who was on the stage, was stunned. This person was an evil cultivator? When he saw the other party take out the empty spirit bell, he had thought of befriending him. After all, the other party was already showing signs of aging, and his lifespan was coming to an end. The Immortal Spring could save her life, and Lin Mo was confident that he could befriend her. However, if she was an evil cultivator, he would have to consider it carefully. Although he did not call himself a good person, he would not help evil cultivators to prolong their lives. He would not do such a thing. ¡°Hmph, what evil cultivator? They deserve to die.¡± The old woman snorted coldly, and her gaze swept across the people around her, filled with killing intent. Some people were even injured by this cold snort and were incomparably shocked. ¡°This senior, please abide by the rules in the auction.¡± Lin Mo hurriedly spoke out. At this moment, he was also helpless. To hold such a grand auction, as expected, all kinds of monsters and ghosts had come. Under the circumstances where their strength was insufficient, they really couldn¡¯t suppress these people. ¡°Little child, don¡¯t tell me that you also believed the things that happened back then?¡±The old woman called Tian Sha looked at Lin Mo with a gaze that gradually turned icy cold. Lin Mo felt goosebumps all over his body. This was definitely a terrifying existence. Two thousand years ago, he was already at the ninth-level of the Nirvana realm. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she wasn¡¯t able to break through to the Immortal Foundation realm back then, she would have already succeeded. ¡°Lin Mo, this Tian Sha isn¡¯t an evil cultivator. I roughly know a little about what happened two thousand years ago.¡± Luo Haoyu transmitted his voice. Tian Sha was born in poverty and was an unaffiliated cultivator. When she was young, her strength was very weak and her cultivation level rose very slowly. She only broke through to the dragon transformation stage when she was close to 100 years old. If it was not for the fact that she had some luck, she might not even be able to break through to the Nirvana stage. However, when she broke through to the Nirvana stage, she was already 300 years old. She would reach her limit if she did not break through. ¡°It was also at that time that she discovered a relic. There was a shocking inheritance in it. It was said that it was a heaven grade spiritual pill. It could change the heavens and change one¡¯s life. It could turn a useless cultivator into a genius.¡± At that time, the entire eastern continent was in an uproar. Half of the people were hunting him down. Regardless of the young or old, they all wanted to obtain that heaven-grade spirit pill. And after Tian Sha ate the heaven-grade spirit pill, he broke through to the ninth level of the Nirvana realm in less than ten years. If it wasn¡¯t for the environment, he would have long stepped into the Immortal Foundation realm. Her talent was without a doubt. In addition, the cold and warmth of the people in her early years had long caused her to feel a chill in her heart. In addition to the ten years of pursuit, on the day she came out of seclusion, blood flowed like a river. Millions of corpses were buried, and countless living beings cried. ¡°Although countless lives were killed, for revenge, it is not considered an evil cultivator. It can only be considered an iron-blooded massacre.¡± After Luo Haoyu¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo understood that the ones who had accused her of being an evil cultivator were probably the relatives and friends of the people who had been killed. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would still be people who remembered some of the things that happened in the past. You, a junior, are really thoughtful.¡± Just as Luo Haoyu finished speaking, Tian Sha, who was far away, looked over and nodded at Luo Haoyu. Her smile was very scary, but it did not have any malicious intent. Moreover, she called Luo Haoyu a junior. ¡°I¡¯m 1,500 years old. It¡¯s normal to call me a junior¡­¡±Luo Haoyu explained through voice transmission. A 5,000-year-old monster could naturally call him a junior. Moreover, this person¡¯s strength was extraordinary. In terms of combat strength, even if he and Qi Luo joined hands with an earth grade artifact, they would still be crushed by the other party¡­ ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t waste any more words. I¡¯m here for the immortal spring. I heard that you have it in this auction. Can you help me estimate how many spirit stones I need to get it?¡± Tian Sha asked. She had lived for more than five thousand years and was nearing the end of her lifespan. She had used all kinds of methods to extend her lifespan. The spirit pills were ineffective, and she had already consumed the spirit herbs. In the end, she used a secret technique to pass the time in a deep sleep. Even so, she had already reached the end of her lifespan. She needed a stronger and better life-prolonging treasure. Now that the Heavenly Tribulation had appeared, she wanted to transcend it in the strongest possible manner. At that time, she would be able to break through her bottleneck and ascend to the Immortal Foundation realm. ¡°Senior, the immortal spring is a fourth-grade Earth realm treasure. It¡¯s very precious. I reckon it will be worth as much as it was before¡­¡± Lin Mo answered honestly. The cheapest price before was Princess Gu Luo¡¯s. Five stalks of snow worry spirit flowers and 500 million middle-grade spirit stones. This was already the cheapest price. Tian Sha probably didn¡¯t have immortal ascension pills or territory unless he was willing to help purple moon palace conquer the Yanhuang dynasty¡­ ¡°It¡¯s too expensive, I don¡¯t have any¡­¡± Tian sha frowned. She had been sleeping all these years, and many of her collections were from the past. Although she had killed many people and obtained a large amount of wealth, it had been used up all these years. The only thing she could afford was the empty spirit bell. Not to mention 500 million middle-grade spirit stones, 200 million was already a high price¡­ ¡°Junior, what do you need? The Immortal Spring is very important to me,¡±Tian Sha continued. Everyone was silent. None of them dared to speak. They were all stunned by Tian Sha¡¯s imposing manner. Saintess Xia you and the others frowned. They didn¡¯t want to see such a situation. The Immortal Spring was very precious, but they had already used it. Otherwise, they could sell it to Tian Sha and make her owe him a favor. After thinking for a while, Lin Mo discussed with qiluo and Luo Haoyu, and finally contacted Bai Luo and Jiang Xiyue. All the high-level officials of Purple Moon Palace were discussing. They couldn¡¯t offend this old senior. After ten minutes, Tian Sha was impatient. Just as he was about to ask, Lin Mo finally came to a conclusion. His lips moved slightly, and he sent a voice transmission to Tian Sha. Although there were a few waves of soul power transmitting over halfway, wanting to intercept the content within, they all stopped after Tian Sha gave a cold snort. Chapter 466 - The Great Luo Divine Sword ¡°Senior, I can give you the immortal spring, but you don¡¯t need spirit stones or anything like that. I heard that you don¡¯t have a fixed residence at the moment, would you be willing to come to the Purple Moon Palace to stay?¡± As he spoke, he was a little nervous. If Tian Sha agreed, the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s strength would skyrocket. However, Lin Mo was destined to be disappointed because Tian Sha had rejected him. ¡°I will not join any of the major powers. I will pursue the Dao with all my heart, all for the sake of breaking through to the immortal-foundation realm. I will go to the other continents and see how prosperous they are¡­¡± It wasn¡¯t out of Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. He wasn¡¯t willing to accept it, but there was nothing he could do. ¡°How about this, I will send out an army in a period of time. I will bring three armies and two ninth-level heavenly experts with me. When the time comes, the palace will be empty and there will be no one to guard it.¡± ¡°Senior, can you stay here for a year to protect this place?¡± This was already his biggest concession. If he still didn¡¯t agree, then he wouldn¡¯t give him the immortal spring. ¡°You can auction it first. This old man will think about it¡­¡± Tian Sha didn¡¯t agree, but he didn¡¯t refuse either. This made Lin Mo see hope. ¡°No problem.¡± After the matter was settled, he heaved a sigh of relief. Tian Sha retracted his aura completely and didn¡¯t leave anything out. Lin Mo had his men arrange a private room for everyone in the hall to watch in peace. ¡°100 million middle-grade spirit stones.¡± Just as everyone was about to continue watching who would be able to bid for the ethereal bell, Tian Sha spoke up once more. This was the spiritual artifact that she had used to bid for the bell. It was likely that she had used it herself. Now that Lin Mo had stated her conditions, there was no longer a need for her to sell her spiritual artifact. As for the others, they didn¡¯t dare to get into trouble, afraid that Tian Sha would hold a grudge against them. Although this person might be reasonable at times, if you were to intentionally cause trouble, she would kill you without any hesitation. ¡°Deal, congratulations to this guest for auctioning off the empty spirit bell.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Auctioning off the empty spirit bell with 100 million mid-grade spirit stones was a bit of a loss. [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning off the Earth rank 2 empty spirit Bell ] [ You have successfully triggered the 10,000 fold return from the auction ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth Rank 5 Dao Spirit Bell ] The Earth rank 5 Spirit Bell had triggered the 10,000 fold auction this time, causing Lin Mo to be pleasantly surprised. It was rare to find a spirit bell of this rank. Even if there was one in the eastern continent, it would be in the most dangerous forbidden area, the ancient ruins. It was left behind by an immortal foundation expert from ancient times, and was extremely dangerous. Lin Mo even suspected that if he gave the immortal spring and Dao Spirit Bell to Tian Sha, this person would probably really join the Purple Moon Palace¡­ However, he wouldn¡¯t do such a thing. In fact, if he knew that this auction would attract so many old monsters. He wouldn¡¯t even hold an auction because he couldn¡¯t control the situation. If Tian Sha today was really the evil cultivator that everyone was talking about, his purple moon palace would probably be destroyed. ¡°The next item up for auction is a level 2 earth rank, illusory spirit sword.¡± ¡°This is a treasure that I found in the ghost domain. The ghost qi on it has been completely wiped off, so you can refine it without worry.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not easy to get a treasure in the ghost domain. The person auctioning it has to think about it. If he¡¯s not strong enough, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to control the illusory spirit sword.¡± Lin Mo reminded them that this was actually a treasure of the secret ghost sect that was placed in the ghost realm. However, they didn¡¯t expect that the place would be discovered by Saintess Xia You. They also didn¡¯t expect that Lin Mo and Saintess Xia You would work together and break the array formation. No matter who it was, the secret ghost sect would hold a grudge against them if they bid for this sword. Hence, those who knew the inside story kept their mouths shut and didn¡¯t want to get involved. ¡°The starting bid for this item is 40 million. Each bid must be raised by at least 1 million.¡± ¡°Since no one wants it, then this old man will accept it with a smile.¡± A hidden expert bid. He had bid many times before and bought many treasures. ¡°Another old monster¡­¡± Lin Mo was already numb. He could only hope that these old fellows wouldn¡¯t start a fight in Hailing city. Otherwise, he might not be able to keep this fight going. Even the purple spirit guards wouldn¡¯t be able to stop it¡­ ¡°40 million. This thing¡¯s origin is indeed dangerous. Don¡¯t get involved, let this old man bear it alone.¡± That expert said half-jokingly. If he really picked up an Earth rank 2 magic tool for 40 million, then he would really have profited. Moreover, everyone present was silent, and didn¡¯t bid. On the side of the Yanhuang Divine Empire, retired emperor Jiang Feng had already gone to pay his respects to Meng Lie and hadn¡¯t come out for a long time. Old Man Xuan Yao wasn¡¯t very interested in magic weapons, so he was silent. Tian Sha was also indifferent and chose to ignore everything in the outside world. On the other hand, Princess Gu Luo had used up a lot of spirit stones because she had auctioned off a scroll of martial arts. Although she wanted the illusory spirit sword, she still held back. ¡°Forty million going once. Is there no one bidding?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer tentatively. What was he doing? Could it be that he had suffered a heavy loss from the auction? ¡°That¡¯s great. Everyone, stop bidding and shut your mouths¡­¡± He thought to himself. Seeing that no one was bidding, he quickly struck the hammer for the second time. ¡°This old senior is going to take advantage of me. I¡¯m so envious¡­¡± The people in the hall were also nervous. This auction actually had a loss. It was a little strange¡­ ¡°Is there any taboo about this sword? Why don¡¯t you want it?¡± Someone mustered up his courage and asked, because he couldn¡¯t understand it anymore. They had also auctioned off the treasures from the ghost realm previously. Hadn¡¯t they been fighting for them quite happily? ¡°Are you stupid? Those were all half-step Earth grade previously. It¡¯s not worth offending a ninth sky expert just to find them.¡± ¡°He¡¯s only at the 2nd tier Earth rankgradenow. He¡¯ll definitely be in trouble.¡± Someone said, making everyone in the hall even more confused. What did he mean by finding him? Could it be that these treasures were stolen? Didn¡¯t Lin Mo say that he and Saintess Xia You found them in the ghost domain? ¡°Deal. Since no one is auctioning them, this illusory spirit sword will belong to this senior.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t even want to shout for the third time and directly dropped the hammer. Right now, he was even more anxious than the one who had taken advantage of him. What would the system give him if he suffered a serious loss? ¡°Little friend, are you really planning to sell me at a loss¡­¡± At this moment, the person in the dark was already feeling a little embarrassed. If he were to take advantage of him, he would probably be ridiculed by his old friend¡­ Taking advantage of a junior was a little immoral and disrespectful for an old man¡­ ¡°Senior, there¡¯s no need to be like this. According to the rules of the auction, if someone bids, the deal will be completed after three times. Those who break their promise will lose their reputation.¡± ¡°This junior will be holding an auction. If you can afford to lose, senior, please give me spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. His heart was bursting with joy as he threw the illusory spirit sword towards a private room. ¡°Alright, this junior of yours suits this old man¡¯s appetite. This old man will come to your auction frequently.¡± A burst of laughter rang out from the private room. At the same time, a bag of spirit stones flew out, totaling 40 million. After both parties had checked and confirmed that there was no mistake, the transaction was completed. [ congratulations host for successfully auctioning off the Earth rank 2 magic tool, illusory spirit sword ] [ This auction has suffered a heavy loss. The system will compensate you, triggering a 20,000 times auction return ] [ Congratulations host for obtaining the Earth Rank 7 magic tool, Great Luo Divine Sword ] The system¡¯s voice sounded out, causing Lin Mo to almost laugh out loud, his heart bursting with joy. The earth rank 7 Great Luo divine sword was simply perfect, compared to it, the loss of Spirit Stones was nothing. ¡°The next item is¡­¡± Chapter 467 - The Grand Finale Earth grade treasures appeared one after another, and because he was willing to sell them at a loss in order to abide by the rules, many people admired him. Thus, the subsequent auctions went very smoothly. In just a short hour, he had earned over a billion middle-grade spirit stones. In the end, the strength of the crowd to raise their bids was already reduced. The spirit stones they brought this time were almost used up. ¡°Next up is the second item from the bottom of this auction. Don¡¯t miss it.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The auction was about to end. A flower pot appeared in his hand. Within it was a pale golden soil that emitted a golden glow. Within the Flower Pot was a tender green grass. Specks of Dao Charm appeared, turning the auction hall into a suitable place for cultivation. Many people even felt as if they were about to comprehend the Dao. It was truly miraculous. Everyone was curious as to what the penultimate item was¡­ ¡°This is the luck dao grass. There¡¯s no need for me to explain its value, right? If you want it, I won¡¯t explain it to you.¡± ¡°Starting bid, 70 million mid-grade spirit stones. Let the auction begin.¡± There was no need for Lin Mo to explain further. The value of this item was difficult to describe in terms of spirit stones. This was because it represented the prosperity and prosperity of a faction. As long as it was planted successfully, it would allow people to comprehend the dao and increase their cultivation speed. No faction would want to give up on it. However, why would the Purple Moon Palace put it up for auction? Right now, the Purple Moon Palace should really need such a treasure. ¡°Vice Palace Head, is this luck grass a gift from someone else or a treasure from Your Purple Moon Palace?¡± Someone asked. The uck grass was too precious, and the Purple Moon Palace wouldn¡¯t give it up. So it was very likely that someone else had sent it for auction, but no one knew who it was. ¡°This is a treasure from my Purple Moon Palace. It was especially taken out, so everyone can rest assured and auction it off.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Naturally, it couldn¡¯t be said that it was provided by the Divine Secrets Holy Land. After all, they still had to take back this treasure. This auction was just for show. This was what they had agreed on with Saintess Xia You back then. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Other than being in its infancy, this luck grass doesn¡¯t have any flaws. I can guarantee that.¡± Lin Mo continued speaking. After which, he knocked on the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. There was no point in continuing with the introduction, so the auction immediately began. Everyone present had sharp eyes and knew that the luck grass was real, so they all participated in the auction. ¡°Sigh, there aren¡¯t many spirit stones left. If I had known that there would be fate grass, I wouldn¡¯t have participated in the auction earlier¡­¡± An elder sighed. He had missed out on the fate grass because a few earth grade treasures had been auctioned earlier. ¡°Isn¡¯t That so? As expected of an auction that has been recorded in the annals of history. All of them are precious treasures¡­¡± Many people sighed. At this moment, the price of the fate grass had already reached 130,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones. This wasn¡¯t all, especially the people from the four great divine dynasties. In their eyes, this wasn¡¯t just an ordinary herb, it was also the hope of their respective forces in the future. If anyone could obtain such a precious treasure, there would definitely be many geniuses in the sect in the future. ¡°150 million.¡± Saintess Xia You spoke, raising the price without any hesitation. After all, she was the one auctioning it, so there was no need to really give the spirit stones. ¡°Sister Xia You doesn¡¯t want the Green Destiny Jade Anymore? Why did you raise the price so much?¡± Princess Gu Luo was puzzled. The sudden appearance of the luck grass had disrupted her plan. She had originally agreed to borrow the spiritual stones from the crown prince of the Lu Jin Divine Empire to bid for the Green Destiny Jade. Now that Saintess Xia You had put in so much effort to compete for the luck grass, she saw hope. ¡°Hehe, sister Gu Luo, you might not know this, but this fate grass doesn¡¯t even exist in the Divine Secrets Holy Land. If you miss it, who knows when the next one will appear.¡± Saintess Xia You said unhurriedly and raised the price again. Soon, in less than two minutes, none of the five major forces gave up and raised the price to 210 million. Even at this stage, no one gave up. They were still competing. ¡°Just how many spirit stones do they have? As expected of a top-tier power¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed on the stage. Compared to these fellows, their Purple Moon Palace was a little lacking. ¡°300 million¡­¡± At this moment, the price on the stage had already soared to 300 million. It was Saint Xia You who had shouted it out. Upon seeing this, the entire place was extremely quiet. Everyone was looking at the other four great dynasties, waiting for them to make a bid. ¡°Our Yanhuang Divine Empire has withdrawn¡­¡± ¡°Our Lu Jin Divine Empire has withdrawn¡­¡± ¡°Great Yan Divine Empire has also withdrawn. We don¡¯t have many spirit stones with us this time¡­¡± Three great powers had withdrawn one after another. At this moment, only the Great Ancient Divine Empire and the Divine Secrets Holy Land were left to compete. Everyone stared at Gu Luo as she walked out of the private room, waiting for her to make a bid. ¡°Forget it. Since sister Xia You likes it, I won¡¯t compete. I¡¯ll keep the spirit stones to compete for the Green Nether Jade¡­¡± Gu Luo thought about it again and again, but he still chose to give up. Saintess Xia You had spent another 300 million spirit stones. Could she still compete? ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to thank you, Little Sister.¡± Saintess Xia You smiled lightly and waved at Lin Mo, throwing him an interspatial ring. Seeing this, Lin Mo also threw the fate grass over. In the interspatial ring, there weren¡¯t 300 million mid-grade spirit stones, only 3,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones. According to the agreement, they only needed to pay a corresponding commission. ¡°Not bad, earning 3,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones for free.¡± Lin Mo smiled, following which the system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Congratulations host for successfully auctioning off an earth rank 1 fate grass ] [8,000 times the profit from the auction has been triggered ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth rank 3 fate grass ] The profit was given to the Earth rank 2 fate grass, and it was also a fate grass. Lin Mo sent his spiritual sense into the system space to check, and he saw that in an empty space, a half-meter tall grass was growing vigorously. There were even some golden patterns on the grass leaves, looking very magical, carrying a bit of dao charm. ¡°Train them well. Next year, the Purple Moon Palace will be able to recruit disciples¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. The deal he had made with Saintess Xia You could be said to have been a bloody profit. ¡°Thank you all for coming to participate in this auction. Next, it will be the finale treasure that everyone is paying attention to.¡± ¡°I know everyone¡¯s goal. The next item to be auctioned is an earth grade fifth tier supreme treasure, the Green Nether Jade. The starting price is 100 million mid-grade spirit stones. Everyone can bid now.¡± Lin Mo took out the green nether jade that he had obtained previously. There was no need for him to introduce it. The reason why these people were attracted here was largely because of the Green Nether Jade. They knew its value. ¡°This old man will offer a scroll of Earth Rank 1 pill formula, three corresponding pills, and an additional 500 million mid-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°In addition, young friend should have heard of this old man¡¯s character. As long as you sell it to me, this old man can help you with three things without going against my principles.¡± Old Man Xuan Yao was the first to step forward. Everyone thought that he was going to bid, but they didn¡¯t expect him to say this. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. In the past, in the eastern continent, Earth grade treasures would only appear once every several hundred years. It was the first time that the Purple Moon Palace had auctioned off so many earth grade treasures in one go. It was already very difficult to use spirit stones to measure a fifth rank earth grade treasure. They needed treasures of equivalent value to exchange for it. Chapter 468 - It Has Nothing To Do With You Even Lin Mo was tempted by the price offered by the old man. He didn¡¯t need the pill formula, but the Panaceas were different. The first rank Earth grade panaceas were at least third rank Earth grade panaceas. Only extremely dangerous forbidden areas had panaceas of this level. Ordinary people couldn¡¯t set foot in them. ¡°Wait a moment, I have here a fifth level earth grade array diagram. It¡¯s a cultivation array, and it can be set up successfully.¡± ¡°However, setting up an earth grade array is very troublesome and requires a lot of resources, but it¡¯s worth it. In addition, this old man can also owe a favor.¡± Another mysterious expert appeared. He had bid many times before, but had never appeared. At this time, he finally stood out. ¡°It¡¯s Daoist Wuliang, an expert who rose to power 2,500 years ago. With a single Daoist technique, he is unrivalled in the world¡­¡± Some important figures recognized this person and were incomparably shocked. This person was the same as Tian Sha from before. He was the strongest expert of an era and was unrivalled in the world back then¡­ ¡°How is it, young friend, do you agree?¡± Daoist Wuliang asked. His conditions were even greater than that of old man Xuan Yao. A scroll that could be used to set up a rank 5 earth rank cultivation formation. Lin Mo was very tempted. He asked Daoist Wuliang through voice transmission what materials he needed. However, after hearing the results, he was a little silent. It was indeed too much of a stretch for a Nirvana Realm expert to set up an earth grade array. If he really organized people to set it up, the spirit stones auctioned at this grand meeting would all be squandered, including the system¡¯s rebate. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior. This junior has a God Devouring Body and needs a large amount of cultivation resources. I can¡¯t afford such consumption¡­¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and could only refuse. These spirit stones belonged to the Purple Moon Palace. Although he could mobilize them, he couldn¡¯t use them all. That would be too selfish. ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Daoist Wuliang sighed and didn¡¯t stay any longer. He turned around and left. This was the limit of what he could do. ¡°Young friend, if I swear on my Dao heart that I¡¯ll join the Purple Moon Palace, can I have the Green Destiny Jade?¡± At this moment, Tian Sha¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s ear, causing him to be extremely shocked. If this peerless expert really joined the Purple Moon Palace, then the Purple Moon Palace¡¯s foundation would be second only to the Divine Secrets Sacred Land. ¡°This¡­ Senior, please allow me to consider it.¡± It was now Lin Mo¡¯s turn to consider. Whether or not he should agree was something he couldn¡¯t decide. In the end, Jiang Xiyue and Bai Luo were called over. The three of them secretly transmitted their voices to discuss. When the two of them heard Tian Sha¡¯s conditions, their hearts were filled with shock. ¡°This Tian Sha is very strong and his talent isn¡¯t bad either. If he was from another continent, he would have long broken through to the immortal-foundation realm.¡± Bai Luo gave his evaluation. The same was true for Daoist Wuliang who left earlier. The talent and strength of these two were on par. ¡°Let¡¯s see what the others are offering,¡± said Jiang Xiyue, asking Lin Mo to wait a moment. Seeing this, Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and asked, ¡°Is there anyone else who would like to bid?¡± What he favored the most at the moment was Tian Sha¡¯s offer. He just didn¡¯t know what Holy Maiden Xia You would offer. ¡°Brother Lin, what do you think about one billion middle-grade spirit stones and three favors? What do you think of this offer?¡± Zhen Gu¡¯s voice was heard, and he did not try to hide it. This was the price the Great Yan Divine Empire could offer. One billion middle-grade spirit stones¡­ Even for them, it would take them at least half a year to earn it back. ¡°Ai, I thought it would be a normal auction, but it turned out to be like this¡­¡± Princess Gu Luo walked out and sighed. This was different from her plan. If she had known this would happen, she would have competed for the fate grass. However, what she didn¡¯t know was that no matter how much she bid, the fate grass wouldn¡¯t belong to her¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, our Great Ancient Divine Empire has a danger zone with countless treasures inside. However, it¡¯s very dangerous. Only someone in the ninth sky of Nirvana Realm can set foot in it. I wonder if this can be used as a condition to gift it to the Purple Moon Palace?¡± Hearing this, everyone was a bit surprised, but then they thought of something and were somewhat shocked. Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions, princess Gu Luo nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s what you think it is, the underwater dragon palace.¡± The Underwater Dragon Palace was discovered more than five thousand years ago. Back then, the strongest expert of the Great Ancient Divine Empire had fought all over the world and was invincible in the world. It had established the ownership of the underwater dragon palace, so no one dared to set foot in it. Even now, although the underwater dragon palace was open to outsiders, it still belonged to the Great Ancient Divine Empire. Now that they were using it to trade, it was rather frightening. On the stage, Lin Mo was also moved. The treasures from the Monolith Forbidden Ground had allowed him to earn quite a bit of treasures. Now that there was an underwater dragon palace, if he could crack it, he might be able to hold another auction of today¡¯s scale¡­ ¡°This won¡¯t do. This underwater dragon palace is too dangerous. Some of the treasures in the safe areas have been emptied by the Great Ancient Divine Empire.¡± ¡°The rest are all covered by the world-shaking killing array. They¡¯ll die if they go in¡­¡± Jiang Xiyue shook her head and told Lin Mo that the underwater dragon palace wasn¡¯t as valuable as it used to be. ¡°Anyone else? What I¡¯m interested in right now is senior Tian Sha¡¯s conditions¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head at Princess Gu Luo. An unknown forbidden land was very tempting to him, but it wasn¡¯t as tempting as Tian Sha joining. ¡°Haha, since it¡¯s a fair auction, I wonder if the members of the Secret Ghost Sect can participate?¡± At this moment, the door to the outer area of the auction hall was suddenly opened, and a strange sound was heard. The temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and many people were suffocated by the oppressive aura. ¡°Hmph.¡± On the stage, Luo Haoyu and Qiluo snorted coldly, releasing their auras to expel the cold air. ¡°What? You don¡¯t welcome us? Or are you saying that this auction isn¡¯t open to everyone?¡± A sneer came from outside, full of mockery. ¡°You worry too much, sir. It¡¯s just that Purple Moon Palace has a deep grudge with the Secret Ghost Sect, and you didn¡¯t come with good intentions,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. It was almost over, and the Secret Ghost sect appeared. were they trying to stir up trouble? ¡°There are indeed grudges, but we¡¯ve only offended the vice palace master, and we¡¯ve already been rejected.¡± ¡°The Yanhuang Divine Dynasty has offended everyone in the Purple Moon Palace and nearly destroyed you all. Why are they here to participate in the auction?¡± The members of the secret ghost sect sneered and pointed their spears at the Yanhuang Divine Empire. ¡°You¡­¡± In the private room, Jiang Feng walked out with a face full of anger. It was not easy for him to lower his presence and make Lin Mo ignore this place, but the Hidden Ghost Sect actually pushed him out. ¡°Jiang Feng, don¡¯t look at me like that. Everything was done by that good son of yours.¡±The Hidden Ghost sect sneered and said mockingly. ¡°This is a family matter of our Yanhuang Divine Empire. It is an internal conflict. It is not your Hidden Ghost Sect¡¯s place to come and criticize.¡± Jiang Feng said coldly. A cattail leaf fan appeared in his hand. An icy air pervaded the air. This was an earth-grade magic artifact. He was going to make a move. If the hidden ghost sect continued to speak like this, things would be really bad. ¡°This is the auction house. Please have some self-respect, sir.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s cold voice rang out, but it was directed at Jiang Feng. He looked at the other party coldly and said word by word, ¡°Also, our grudge is a grudge between the Yanhuang Divine Dynasty and the Purple Moon Palace. It¡¯s not a family matter. Xiyue has nothing to do with you.¡± Chapter 469 - Ten Tribulations Lightning Jade Ten tribulations lightning Jade As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. This was the retired emperor of the Yanhuang dynasty, an expert of his generation, but he was actually targeted like this ¡­ Jiang Feng also seemed to have aged by more than ten years. He was embarrassed when Jiang xiyue did not refute Lin Mo¡¯s words at all ¡­ ¡°I¡¯m overthinking ¡­¡± Jiang Feng sighed. He looked at the expressionless Jiang xiyue in the sky and shook his head bitterly. ¡°Xiyue, no matter what, I¡¯m still your grandfather ¡­ You can¡¯t avoid the bloodline.¡± you can¡¯t turn back your mistakes. I don¡¯t expect you to let it go, but I only hope that you can leave the inheritance of the Yan Huang dynasty ¡­ After saying this, Jiang Feng did not stay any longer and called for the tenth Princess. The two of them looked a little lonely as they walked out of the auction house and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. At this moment, Jiang xiyue¡¯s cold expression finally changed a little. She had mixed feelings. Jiang Feng had truly regretted forcing him away earlier. Now, he was standing on the opposite side ¡­ ¡°When I was weak, why didn¡¯t I say that ¡­¡± She sighed and didn¡¯t say anything else. What made the other party regret was her power and strength. This family love was still not pure, but she was satisfied. At least she felt it ¡­ She felt a warmth in her palm. She looked up and saw Lin Mo holding her hand, comforting her. Everything was said without words. The things that had been decided long ago would not change, and the plan to attack the Yan Huang dynasty would not change. However, as Jiang Feng had said, blood was thicker than water. It wasn¡¯t impossible to leave the other party¡¯s inheritance ¡­ ¡°People of the hidden ghost sect, if you want to participate in the auction, then bid. As long as you are willing to pay, you can participate in the auction.¡± After consoling Jiang xiyue, Lin Mo looked outside the auction house. The people of the hidden ghost sect were still there, still eyeing them covetously. ¡°Alright, I have a martial skill here, rank 5 Earth Class sky swallowing art. I found it in the ghost domain.¡± ¡°This should be enough, right? it¡¯s even more valuable than the dark green jade. You¡¯ll have to give me one person¡¯s share of the undying spring water.¡± ¡°Rank 5 Earth Class?¡± Even Lin Mo was shocked when he heard those words. A legacy level cultivation technique of this level had really been found ¡­ ¡°What are the attributes of the cultivation method and what are the special abilities?¡± Lin Mo asked. The value of a cultivation technique of this level was so great that he suspected that there was a conspiracy. it has no attributes and is very compatible. Anyone can cultivate it. However, it has a weakness. It has a cultivation limit ¡­ ¡°All cultivators can only reach the peak of the ninth heaven of the Nirvana realm in their lifetime.¡± at this level, even if you have extraordinary talent, you can¡¯t go any further. You can¡¯t even re-cultivate. The upper limit was sealed, but the lower limit was very high. Even those with average talent could cultivate to the Nirvana realm. This reminded Lin Mo of the three armies. If he were to successfully cultivate it, the 200000 Nirvana stage experts ¡­ there¡¯s another flaw. It¡¯s very difficult to get started, and there¡¯s a certain requirement for talent ¡­ The hidden ghost sect¡¯s member continued, shattering Lin Mo¡¯s fantasy. This kind of cultivation technique can only be given by passing on strength. So, pick a person to cultivate it and I¡¯ll pass on the strength to him. then I don¡¯t need it. There are so many restrictions, and the upper limit is even sealed ¡­ Lin Mo interrupted the other party. Strength imparting was a type of cultivation method. Usually, the elders would help the younger generation clear their meridians and assist them in comprehending the cultivation technique. However, there are many restrictions. The younger generation has to trust the other party unconditionally. However, it was impossible for him to trust the hidden ghost sect. ¡°Vice Palace Master, please think carefully. As long as the person who cultivates this technique is slightly more talented, it won¡¯t be a problem for him to reach the 7th Sky of the Nirvana realm in a short time.¡± The people from the hidden ghost sect wanted to continue but were interrupted by Lin Mo. There was no need for that. senior Tian Sha is still the highest bidder. Divine Secrets Holy Land, Lu Jin divine dynasty, are you not going to bid? ¡± Lin Mo asked. I give up. My price is not even as good as Princess Gu Luo¡¯S. Lu Jinchao¡¯s Crown Prince spoke up. He had no choice but to give up. ¡°Brother Lin, three immortal Ascension pills, one billion middle-grade spirit stones, and two portions of the undying spring. What do you think?¡± Holy maiden Xia you finally spoke, and the price was extremely exaggerated. One should know that the reason the beautiful silk of the purple Moon Palace could break through to the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage was because of the immortal Ascension pill. Now that they had obtained three at once, the purple Moon Palace would have three more ninth heaven experts in the future. ¡°Deal. Have you brought the immortal Ascension pill? we can make the deal now.¡± Bai Luo said immediately. This price was even better for the current Purple Moon Palace. Although Tian Sha would become stronger if he joined them, three immortal Ascension pills would be more valuable. as expected of the divine Secrets Holy Land. It has a rich heritage ¡­ The door opened and Tian Sha walked out with a sigh. She had thought that joining the purple Moon Palace was enough. I didn¡¯t expect Holy maiden Xia you to give me such a high price ¡­ ¡°Of course I¡¯ve brought it. Let¡¯s trade now.¡± Saintess Xia you laughed as she personally presented the treasures. Three immortal Ascension pills that were emitting divine light were coveted by countless people. In addition, there were also one billion middle-grade spirit stones, which made everyone¡¯s eyes red. Some people even planned to come out and snatch it, but they were a little afraid when they saw Luo Haoyu and beautiful silk guarding it. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the earth grade rank 5 dark green jade. ] [ triggered 6000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations, you have obtained a rank 7 Earth Class ten calamity lightning Jade. ] The ten tribulations lightning Jade was a type of Jade that contained violent lightning attribute. The energy contained in it was even more violent than the dark green jade. However, these were nothing to Lin Mo, who had the God Devourer body. He could just devour them directly. ¡°That¡¯s great. I can continue my closed-door cultivation.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. After the auction, he had earned more than four billion medium spiritual stones. Not to mention, there were two other auction houses. ¡°Everyone, the auction has ended. Please return.¡± Jiang xiyue stepped forward and gestured for the crowd to leave. After the show ended, the crowd in the hall left one after another. Some of the leaders of the forces also left. Those who knew Lin Mo also chose to leave after saying their goodbyes. However, there were still many people who chose to stay in hailing city and rest. In addition, the atmosphere in hailing city had become a little strange. Because so many treasures had appeared, those who had not obtained any treasures began to become greedy ¡­ Especially the people of the hidden ghost sect. On the same day, there was a massacre in hailing city. A Holy Lord of a Holy Land was assassinated. He was a Nirvana realm seventh Sky Warrior, but he was killed in his residence. The treasures being auctioned off had also been snatched away, causing panic. Many people fled, not daring to stay in hailing city for long, especially those who had won the auction. The teleportation array was almost full, and they all wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. ¡°Hehe ¡­ You won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± A sneer came, and a ghostly figure appeared in the sky above the teleportation formation in the center of hailing city. It¡¯s the people of the hidden ghost sect, they¡¯ve made a move in public. ¡°A bunch of rats, you¡¯re all looking for death.¡± Lin Mo rushed over. Beside him, beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu had also arrived and attacked the sky. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master would personally come, this is really strange ¡­¡± Chapter 470 - Fortunately, I Met You Fortunately, I met you Following her was tiansha, who had stopped in her tracks. She had already recognized the person who had attacked her. ¡°Tian Sha, what do you mean by this? do you want to be my enemy?¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master appeared and stared at Tian Sha, who was standing beside Lin Mo, with a serious expression. The rest of the people were shocked. Why was Tian Sha here? was she planning to make a move? I¡¯ve taken the undying spring, so I¡¯ll protect this place for a year. Tian Sha said indifferently, telling him what he had promised. She wanted to break through to the immortal-Foundation realm with the strongest attitude possible. The undying spring could give her a chance, so she wouldn¡¯t reject this condition. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you face today.¡± To everyone¡¯s surprise, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master did not fight with Tian Sha. Instead, he retreated. ¡°Senior, you can¡¯t stay?¡± Lin Mo asked. Even if he could not kill the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, he wanted Tian Sha to make a move. He wanted Tian Sha to be injured. ¡°He¡¯s also an expert of the same era, not weaker than me. If he wants to escape, I won¡¯t be able to stop him.¡± Tian Sha shook his head. At this level, it was too difficult to kill him. Even if Taoist Wuliang, who was also in the city, attacked, he might not be able to stop her, let alone her. ¡°Let¡¯s do it this way. After today¡¯s matter, this place will be absolutely safe for a year.¡± At this point, tiansha hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, ¡± ¡°But you¡¯d better leave an Army behind. I remember you have a defensive battle formation, it¡¯s safer.¡± It wasn¡¯t that she wasn¡¯t confident in herself, but now that the heavenly Tribulation had appeared, many reclusive experts had come out. The purple Moon Palace had just accumulated so much wealth, and now they were going on a punitive expedition, which would inevitably attract people¡¯s attention. It was good to have another layer of protection. ¡°I understand. Thank you for your reminder, senior.¡± Lin Mo nodded. The people of the hidden ghost sect had retreated, and the hailing city was safe. Those who were planning to escape earlier had stopped. After consoling him, Lin Mo returned to the purple Moon Palace and counted the treasures in his hands. In the palace, many treasures were placed in the center of the hall. At this moment, he also took out the luck path grass. It was better and more precious than the one he had auctioned earlier. ¡°Earth Class rank 2 luck path grass, where did you get it?¡± Jiang xiyue was overjoyed. She was still worried about how to teach the disciples of the purple Moon Palace after they recruited them. Now that he had the luck path grass, he just had to let them cultivate near the luck path grass for the initial guidance. no wonder you would auction that luck Dao grass. There were two of them ¡­ Bai Luo nodded. He did not understand why Lin Mo wanted to sell the luck path grass. I¡¯ll leave the internal arrangements to the drug lord and xiyue. As for the conquest, leave it to me and Bai Luo. there¡¯s no rush to set off. Let¡¯s recuperate first. I¡¯m planning to go into seclusion to cross the Tribulation. You¡¯re giving me pressure ¡­ Bai Luo shook his head. Now that Lin Mo¡¯s strength had surpassed hers, she was a little displeased and decided to undergo the heavenly Tribulation. She had said earlier that she had come to the eastern continent for opportunities, and now she was ready to fully display her talent. ¡°Let¡¯s distribute these cultivation resources ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue said, and everyone came forward to divide the resources. Luo Haoyu and damask each took 100 million medium spiritual stones. As they were at the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage, their need for spiritual stones had increased. Furthermore, they had bathed in the heavenly Tribulation and had not reached the upper limit of their realm. These spirit stones were just enough for them to cultivate. ¡°How do we split the three immortal Ascension pills?¡± Luo Haoyu suddenly said as he looked at the three elixirs in the middle. Even the divine Secrets Holy Land did not have many of these spiritual pills. Three of them was no small number. Everyone looked up at the throne. Lin Mo and Jiang xiyue were also sitting on the throne, deep in thought. Lin Mo really wanted to say that he should not auction it off, but he held back in the end. The immortal Ascension pill was very expensive, and under normal circumstances, it would not be auctioned off. He did not have a valid reason ¡­ He looked at Jiang xiyue and left the decision to her. She was the palace Master, so it was normal for her to distribute the food. ¡°Bai Luo, do you and little butterfly need it?¡± Jiang xiyue asked. In the purple Moon Palace, other than the few of them, only Bai Luo and Lin die were able to cultivate to the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm in a short time. ¡°You and I can¡¯t use it. Even if we eat it, we¡¯ll wait until we¡¯re in the ninth heaven.¡± Bai Luo shook his head. He had said before that the few of them could not rely on pills to break through their realms. give one to Yan Rong. Palace Master, keep one for yourself. Use it when you reach the ninth heaven. The rest can be used as your Foundation. Bai Luo gave a suggestion, planning to let Yan Rong take advantage of the situation? ¡°Ah, I got a share too?¡± At the end of the hall, Yan Rong, who had been paddling, was stunned. He pointed at himself with uncertainty. After Bai Luo nodded, he shook his head continuously and said, ¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s a waste ¡­¡± He refused decisively. He knew his own worth. It would be enough if he could walk a few more steps in the Nirvana stage in this life. He didn¡¯t even dare to think about immortal-Foundation ¡­ Yan Rong, I¡¯ll give you one then. Don¡¯t reject it. The future great elder of the purple Moon Palace ¡­ Jiang xiyue said with a smile. Tell Yan Rong that when he breaks through to the ninth sky of Nirvana stage, he will be the great elder ¡­ ¡°This ¡­¡± Yan Rong wanted to refuse but was interrupted by Lin Mo. Then, he was given many spirit stones and treasures for him to go into seclusion, which made the other elders in the hall envious. After half an hour, everyone was smiling. The rest of the treasures were sent to the Treasury, which was the foundation of the purple Moon Palace. The crowd left one after another. Jiang xiyue sat in the main seat, but she was sullen and seemed to be troubled. ¡°Are you thinking about the Yan Huang dynasty?¡± Lin Mo leaned against the throne and wrapped his arm around Jiang xiyue¡¯s slender waist. ¡°Mm ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue nodded and leaned into Lin Mo¡¯s arms. She said emotionlessly, ¡± ¡°What do you think my father is thinking about now?¡± he¡¯s probably regretting it now. If he were to appear now, he would definitely beg you to go back and become the Empress with snot and tears in his eyes. Lin Mo joked. ¡°Hehe ¡­¡± ¡°Just think about it. It¡¯s a little funny, but it¡¯s obviously impossible ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue laughed at Lin Mo¡¯s words and then shook her head. How could that be? he was the Emperor of a country. He would not allow anyone to disobey him, so why would he beg others? Moreover, the person he was begging for was a chess piece that he had once used, or even an abandoned piece ¡­ it won¡¯t be long before I let them know how stupid it was to abandon you. Lin Mo said solemnly. He was not boasting because he intended to break through to the 6th sky of Nirvana stage during this closed-door training. At that time, even a level nine expert would not be able to kill him easily. With the purple spirit guards, it was time to go to war ¡­ ¡°Are you planning to destroy the Yan Huang dynasty?¡± Jiang xiyue suddenly asked. This question had appeared in her mind many times in the past, but she had never known the answer. Now, she looked at Lin Mo, wanting to know what he was thinking. ¡°Of course not. I¡¯ve also thought about this problem. If we really destroy it, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be disadvantageous to you.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. If he really killed her, Jiang xiyue would be labeled as the murderer of her father, and the public wouldn¡¯t care what reason she had. I will protect you. I will do my best to prevent you from getting hurt, even if it¡¯s just gossip. Lin Mo hugged Jiang xiyue tightly and said in a gentle voice. ¡°I¡¯m lucky to have met you ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue¡¯s heart was filled with sweetness. It was great to have someone like him who loved her. The two of them embraced each other, and their desire was ignited. In this Hall, no one disturbed them. A moment of spring ¡­ Chapter 471 - The Day of the Expedition The day of the expedition The next day, the purple Moon Palace fell into silence. Because there were no disciples, it was very deserted. However, many of the buildings were still under construction, and the matter of recruiting disciples would have to wait until next year. Tiansha had also sworn in front of Jiang xiyue and Lin Mo that it would guard the purple Moon Palace for a year and would not have any improper thoughts of stealing the treasure vault while the purple Moon Palace¡¯s Army was out on a mission. ¡°If I disobey what I¡¯ve said, my Dao heart will collapse, and I¡¯ll die an unnatural death under the heavenly Tribulation,¡± Even if he had broken his Dao heart oath in the past, the most he could do was to suffer from Qi deviation while cultivating. However, things were different now. If the heavenly Tribulation really did violate the rules, the price would be very high. ¡°Welcome, senior. This is the undying spring that I promised to give you.¡± Jiang xiyue had offered the immortal spring to the purple Moon Palace, which meant that the purple Moon Palace would have a top master in the past year. After settling everything, Lin Mo entered a state of cultivation and shut himself in the secret room. He took out the ten tribulations lightning Jade and a scroll that recorded the laws of lightning. When he had obtained the wind and thunder scroll with Holy maiden Xia you, he had obtained an even better one after the auction. Now, he was going to start his closed-door cultivation with the help of the ten tribulations lightning Jade and the lightning Dao scroll. other than the fact that the God Devourer body requires a large amount of cultivation resources, its other abilities are too heaven-defying ¡­ Lin Mo muttered to himself as he placed the ten tribulations lightning Jade in front of him. He activated the spirit devouring mantra and began to devour it. His spiritual consciousness also started to study the lightning Dao scroll. While he was silent, the outside world was not calm. The purple Moon Palace¡¯s auction was too luxurious, attracting a large number of people. In half a month¡¯s time, hailing city had been expanded by half and became more and more prosperous. Many Chambers of Commerce and families had settled in. In addition, the frequency of the heavenly Tribulation had also increased. After a short period of shock, the eastern Peninsula fell into panic. This was because the heavenly Tribulation wasn¡¯t as simple as they had thought. Thunder and lightning struck, and countless people died. In just a few days, millions of cultivators had died. In the face of the brilliant heavenly might, many people chose to cut off their cultivation and lower their realm. It was only now that they understood the terror of the heavenly Tribulation and why it was called a great chaos and disaster. This was a real disaster. Another half a month passed, and some busybodies calculated that heavenly tribulations had appeared all over the eastern continent, causing heavy losses. All the forces were also severely injured. The disciples of the sect cut off their cultivation, and there were even level nine experts who dropped their realms. Time passed, and another half a month went by. Bai Luo, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a month and a half, came out. He broke through two realms in a row and reached the sixth sky of the Nirvana realm. The appearance of the heavenly Tribulation was as terrifying as the powerhouses of the ninth heaven. Bai Luo flew a thousand miles away from hailing city. He was undergoing his tribulation there, and the sound of thunder shook the world. In addition, there was also the descent of Heavenly Fire. It was a divine fire that was enough to burn the world. Strange phenomena appeared. The divine beasts of the immemorial era appeared: the Vermilion Bird, the kun Peng, the Qilin, and the true hou. Although they were only illusionary figures, their combat strength was terrifying as they surrounded Bai Luo. The battle lasted for an entire day. Bai Luo was seriously injured many times, but he managed to turn danger into benefit time and time again, and he finally survived. it¡¯s so terrifying. I feel that it¡¯s not any weaker than Lin Mo¡¯s first Heavenly Tribulation ¡­ Some people who had witnessed the entire process trembled. Was this really a Heavenly Tribulation? it was too terrifying ¡­ ¡°BOOM!¡± Seven days after Bai Luo¡¯s tribulation, a thunderous sound rang out, reverberating through half of the eastern continent. It was a Dao sound that spread out and everyone in the area could sense it. Within the divine Secrets Holy Land, in the endless Mountains, saintess Xia you was undergoing her tribulation. The wind blew, and the Thunder shook the sky. Nine Thunder Dragons appeared and spat out heavenly lightning. They attacked Xia you, destroying the entire mountain. A sea of lightning formed below, and Xia you was bathed in it, forging a Supreme treasured body. After the lightning tribulation, a unicorn stepped on the clouds and arrived. It was formed by the laws of Dao, and auspicious Qi filled the air. The strange phenomenon was shocking. The commotion was huge and shocked everyone. The divine Secrets Holy Land and purple Moon Palace¡¯s two great geniuses had undergone their tribulations. People had compared them, but they found that there was no way to compare. This was because the lightning tribulation was different. They were all extremely terrifying, but the specific analysis was different. Saintess Xia you¡¯s was a Lightning Dragon that controlled the sky lightning. As for Bai Luo, the shadow of an immemorial divine beast had appeared to personally train the person undergoing the Tribulation. Another half a month passed as they discussed. It had been two months since Lin Mo went into seclusion. In Lin Mo¡¯s Secret chamber, his body did not move at all, and the ten tribulations lightning Jade in front of him had already turned into dust. The lightning Dao scroll also dimmed and the lightning Dao laws within it disappeared. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and his eyes flickered. A bolt of lightning appeared, and a hole was blasted in the ceiling of the secret chamber. In an instant, the lightning turned into flames. Lin Mo flew out of the secret room. His body was wrapped in lightning and fire, like a god. ¡°You¡¯ve comprehended the laws of lightning?¡± Bai Luo flew over and looked at Lin Mo in shock. The lightning and fire were perfectly controlled by Lin Mo, and it was very mysterious. This time, Lin Mo had broken through to the 6th sky of Nirvana stage. His aura was long and it could be said that he had advanced for a long time. I can control lightning and fire perfectly now. It feels great ¡­ Lin Mo laughed. However, when he looked at Bai Luo, he realized that he could not see through him. There seemed to be a thin layer of film on the other party¡¯s body, blocking his spiritual sense. He couldn¡¯t see through it and was very mysterious. ¡°Stop looking, everyone is waiting for you. Quickly go to the main palace.¡± Bai Luo rolled his eyes and went to the main hall with Lin Mo. At this moment, all the higher-ups of the purple Moon Palace had arrived, including the commanders of the three armies and many elders. Outside the main hall, there were three troops waiting for orders. Of course, Xiao die was not here. She was still in deep sleep and showed no signs of coming out. ¡°I¡¯m sure you know the reason why I¡¯ve invited all of you here today.¡± Jiang xiyue said in a deep voice. ¡°The Vice Palace Lord has come out of seclusion. It¡¯s time to go on an expedition.¡± The three armies outside let out deafening roars. They were very excited. They had been waiting for this day for a long time. ¡°Very good. All members of the purple Moon Palace, listen up.¡± Jiang xiyue stood up, and her voice reverberated in the Ziyue Palace with the help of spirit Qi. commander of the three armies, Bai Luo, listen up. You will lead the flame God Army to attack the North, 100000 li North, and make this area into the territory of the purple Moon Palace. ¡°Yao Tian, Zhang Yun, Zhang Chen and the rest of the elders, listen up. You will temporarily join the Flame God Army and listen to Bai Luo¡¯s orders.¡± ¡°Great elder Luo Haoyu, listen to my order. You will lead 30000 red armor troops to the South. 100000 li South, including the Zhiyan desert area, will be included in the territory of the purple Moon Palace.¡± vice Palace Master Lin Mo, listen up. Lead the purple spirit guards to attack the East. The target is the Yan Huang dynasty. At the very least, take down 100000 miles of territory. second elder Qi Luo, listen up. You will lead 10000 red armored soldiers to patrol the territory that you have conquered. If you find anyone who doesn¡¯t obey, kill them without mercy. Jiang xiyue gave out orders one after another. All the elders of the purple Moon Palace moved out, and no one stayed behind. ¡°This subordinate will do as you command.¡± Lin Mo and the others bowed and accepted the order with Jiang xiyue¡¯s token in their hands. ¡°The order has been given. This Prince is here, waiting for your triumphant return.¡± Jiang xiyue sat back on the throne after she finished speaking. ¡°We will obey the palace master¡¯s orders and set off immediately.¡± The Army was ready. On this day, hailing city shook as the Army attacked in a grandiose manner ¡­ Chapter 472 - Start of the expedition Start of the expedition When the news spread, all the forces were shocked. The purple Moon Palace began to expand their territory. Furthermore, the Yan Huang dynasty, which they had a grudge against, was also a target. Lin Mo led the purple spirit guards and easily broke through the border defense of the Yan Huang dynasty. The atmosphere in the eastern land had already reached its peak. The three armies of the purple Moon Palace were dispatched, and their battle intent soared to the sky. The eastern Peninsula was filled with constant disputes, and Wars were very common. Even the four great divine dynasties had fought against each other. There was no such thing as justice here. The weak were prey to the strong, and the law of the jungle ruled. This was the world of cultivators. In the past, when the purple Moon Palace was established, all the forces were already worried that the purple Moon Palace would send troops to attack. Now that this day had really come, everyone was terrified. The sky breaking city was a city near the border of the Yan Huang dynasty. The Ziling guards had occupied it, killed the city Lord, and hung the flag of the Ziling Palace. Outside the city, the Army was stationed with purple flags. These were the war flags of the purple spirit guards. The forces in the city all surrendered and didn¡¯t dare to act rashly, waiting for the purple Moon Palace¡¯s troops to plunder. According to past Wars, the defeated might be able to save their lives by surrendering, but their sect¡¯s savings would probably be robbed clean. However, Lin Mo had no interest in this. He let off those who surrendered and did not touch them. In the city Lord¡¯s mansion, Lin Mo sat in the main seat. There were three other experts below him, all of whom were at the 5th sky of Nirvana stage. They were the three great commanders of the purple spirit guard, Yang Feng, Qiu Shan, and Ying Wu. The few of them gathered together and a three-meter wide map appeared. It was extremely complicated and recorded detailed information of various places. commander Lin, now that we¡¯ve taken down sky breaker city, the battle has already begun. We haven¡¯t decided on our next battle plan. in addition, a hundred miles ahead is the mountain Gate of the combat immortal sect. They have pledged their loyalty to the Yan Huang dynasty and are already gathering the surrounding forces. Commander Yang Feng looked at the map and reported to Lin Mo. combat immortal sect. I have some grudges in the past. It¡¯s time to settle them ¡­ Lin Mo stared at the map. The information recorded that combat immortal sect had a relatively recent history and had existed for a thousand years. The sect¡¯s protective array was of the eighth rank of The Spirit Level, the sect master was at the seventh sky of Nirvana realm, and it was suspected that there was an old ancestor who was an eighth sky expert. Combat immortal sect was famous in this area, and everyone knew about it. ¡°It¡¯s just the seventh sky of Nirvana stage. It¡¯s nothing much. I just don¡¯t know if that mysterious old ancestor is still alive.¡± Commander Qiu Shan said. Combat immortal sect was a first-rate force in the Yan Huang divine dynasty and was not considered weak. They didn¡¯t have an Army, but their disciples weren¡¯t weak. Their overall strength wasn¡¯t any weaker than the purple spirit guards, but they didn¡¯t have a battle formation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once the battle array is activated, even a ninth heaven Nirvana stage warrior would not be a match for it.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. With the spiritual four battle formation and the purple spirit guards ¡®terrifying combat power, no matter what the other party¡¯s trump card was, any plan would be useless if they were to crush them with their powerful strength. ¡°Commander Lin, what about our specific attack route? you haven¡¯t decided on it yet.¡± Commander Qiu Shan continued to ask. The palace Lord had ordered them to attack at least 100000 miles of territory, but they were only 100 miles in. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flickered as he looked at the map in front of him. He gathered his spirit Qi and streaked it across the map. They passed through combat immortal sect and went deep in. They stopped at a red dot and spread out in a fan shape. that¡¯s the territory of Yuan yang Holy Land. Take it down. We¡¯re 130000 miles away. You can report back. Yuan yang Holy Land also had grudges with them, so it was a good time to settle them together. Yuan yang sacred land. The surrounding purple spirit guards were all excited. When the purple Moon Palace was first established, Yuan yang Holy Land had come to make trouble. However, he never had the chance to clear things up later on, and now the time had finally come. However, commander Yang Feng was more cautious. He said, ¡± Deputy Palace Lord, Yuan yang Holy Land has existed for a long time and their sect-protecting formation is very strong. Their Holy Lord Qin Tian is not a pushover either. It is said that he is at the eighth heaven of Nirvana realm and has a close relationship with a King of the Yan Huang dynasty. Is it not appropriate to attack them? ¡± Generally speaking, the Army would start with the simple factions. The best way would be to get rid of the weaker forces, surround Yuan yang Holy Land, and destroy them in one fell swoop. you¡¯ve underestimated yourselves. Even if the Yan Huang divine dynasty makes a move, they might not be able to stop us. Send my order, rest for one day and attack the combat immortal sect tomorrow. Lin Mo did not say anything else. He allowed the Army to recuperate before he decided on the plan for tomorrow. ¡°Commander Yang Feng, when we attack tomorrow, you will lead three hundred violet spirit guards and guard the rear of combat immortal sect to prevent them from escaping.¡± ¡°Qiu Shan, Yingwu, you two will be in charge of commanding the purple spirit guards to attack the combat immortal sect. Kill anyone who resists.¡± In war, there would always be consumption, and using war to sustain war was the best choice. If combat immortal sect couldn¡¯t win, it was very likely that they would escape with all the treasures in the Treasury. Lin Mo wouldn¡¯t allow that. Therefore, he had formulated a strategy to capture all the enemies in one fell swoop. The next day, the sun rose, and a murderous aura filled the entire sky breaker city. The battle intent that had accumulated for the entire night had finally reached its critical point. The entire sky above sky breaker city was filled with battle intent. Many people in the city were panicking. The fighting spirit of the purple spirit guards was so strong that they couldn¡¯t bear it. Of course, there were also people who joined the purple Moon Palace to show their loyalty and were willing to follow them to attack the combat immortal sect. In front of the sky breaking city, Lin Mo, who was wearing a white battle robe, raised the long sword in his hand and suddenly swung it down. ¡°Violet spirit guard, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Kill!¡± A unified roar rang out as the battle raged. The violet spirit guards flew up in a mighty formation, following Lin Mo into the distance. There were many people following behind to watch the battle. They might make a move, but they might also change sides at the last minute ¡­ When Lin Mo led his Army into combat immortal sect¡¯s territory, they didn¡¯t encounter any obstacles as they had expected. Some of the mercenary groups stationed along the way were also scared out of their wits by the Ziling guards, and they all joined them. This surprised everyone. Did combat immortal sect give up? they didn¡¯t even dare to resist. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo understood that combat immortal sect wasn¡¯t afraid. They were making their final stand. They gathered all their forces at combat immortal sect, planning to fight the violet spirit guards head-on. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s going to be a tough battle ¡­¡± I don¡¯t think so. The violet spirit guards can even deal with a Nirvana stage cultivator at the 9th sky. It¡¯ll be a piece of cake for them to destroy the combat immortal sect. that¡¯s true. I wonder if the Yan Huang dynasty sent out troops to help. The people at the back were discussing. After half a day of marching, the Army slowed down. Several mountain peaks appeared in front of them with many buildings on them. The atmosphere here was a bit oppressive. Many experts had already gathered in front of them, waiting for their arrival. When the violet spirit guards arrived, they were a little surprised to see the other party¡¯s preparations. The combat immortal sect was not easy to deal with. They had gathered so many experts in such a short time. Behind them, the violet spirit guards formed a battle formation and surrounded the combat immortal sect with terrifying battle intent. Yang Feng had already led his Army to intercept some of the combat immortal sect disciples who wanted to escape. Chapter 473 - The origin divine sword reveals its edge The origin divine sword reveals its edge Lin Mo flew forward and looked at combat immortal sect. He said coldly, ¡± ¡°I can feel your aura. Come out.¡± Ever since he arrived here, he had felt an extremely powerful aura. It was the eighth sky of Nirvana realm. This was their old ancestor. He was still alive and still had the strength to fight. hehe, you¡¯re truly a peerless genius. I can¡¯t compare to your courage. Just as Lin Mo was speaking, a deep laugh was heard. Immediately, a spatial crack appeared in front of combat immortal sect and an elder walked out. His body was hunched, and he was about to die. He was a man with one foot in the coffin. But with his appearance, combat immortal sect¡¯s battle intent that was on the verge of dissipating gradually stabilized. The cultivators behind also became more confident and followed this person to release their aura. Half of the people here had complicated auras and didn¡¯t cultivate techniques that belonged to the combat immortal sect. It was obvious that they were gathered here to fight the purple spirit guards to the death. I¡¯ve long heard that Deputy Palace Master Lin¡¯s combat strength is unparalleled. Today¡¯s incident seems to be a little undeserving of the name. The old ancestor of combat immortal sect said. that¡¯s right. After all, he only knows how to use the Army to form battle formations to attack. What kind of skill is that? the so-called genius is just so-so. Many people laughed and mocked Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo smiled and stepped into the air. As he walked forward, the spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to tremble. A terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation spread out, and a mysterious black hole was formed around Lin Mo. The surrounding spirit Qi continuously gushed towards Lin Mo, and the phenomenon was shocking. ¡°God devouring body ¡­¡± The combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor was shocked as he stared at Lin Mo. He knew that Lin Mo was extraordinary, and his talent was comparable to the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s saintess. However, he did not expect Lin Mo to have the God devouring body. With such a terrifying body, as long as he had sufficient resources, his cultivation speed would be extremely fast. His combat strength was also extraordinary. Beads of sweat appeared on the face of the combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor as his expression turned solemn. Originally, he had wanted to provoke Lin Mo into fighting him and take the opportunity to capture Lin Mo so that the purple spirit guards would be wary of him. Now, it seemed that he had been a little whimsical. ¡°Lin Mo, is your Purple Moon Palace really going to fight to the death with the Yan Huang divine dynasty?¡± The old ancestor of combat immortal sect shouted in anger. you have to know that your Palace Master is from the Yan Huang divine dynasty. He knows the foundation of the Yan Huang divine dynasty. There is more than one level nine and level eight expert. even the Army has more than a dozen, far more than yours. ¡°What, are you afraid?¡± Lin Mo said sarcastically, ¡± don¡¯t use the Yan Huang dynasty to pressure us. If you know what¡¯s good for you, then surrender. Swear your Dao heart to be loyal to the purple Moon Palace. Otherwise, we¡¯ll kill you without mercy. Combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡± ¡°I¡¯ve given you a way out, but you don¡¯t want to step down. Then don¡¯t blame me for being merciless.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so full of yourself. You just want to take me down so that the violet spirit guards won¡¯t attack me, right? I¡¯ll give you the chance. Make your move. I¡¯ll exchange a few blows with you.¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. you¡¯re really arrogant, junior. Since you¡¯ve said it, I¡¯ll test your strength. The combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor laughed coldly. His eyes flickered with coldness and he was about to act ruthlessly. He naturally knew how terrifying the purple spirit guards were. They could even scare off ninth heaven experts. They weren¡¯t something the combat immortal sect could deal with. However, if he could capture Lin Mo and use him as a hostage, he might be able to force the purple spirit guards to retreat. At that time, the combat immortal sect would be able to stop the purple Moon Palace¡¯s attack, and their reputation would soar. They might even become a Holy Land-level force. He could even make the Yan Huang divine dynasty look at him in a new light and become his right-hand man ¡­ It was also because of this that he decided to take a risk and capture Lin Mo, a junior who did not know his place. ¡°Cut the crap. If you don¡¯t make a move, I¡¯ll make the first move.¡± Lin Mo stood in mid-air and looked down at the combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor. ¡°This old man is Tang Hua. I have cultivated for 1500 years. Today, I will teach you a little lesson.¡± The combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor roared as he pulled out a huge blade and slashed at Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo waved his hand, and a bolt of lightning struck down. When he came into contact with the saber, flames filled the sky. Lin Mo had controlled the flames and lightning to the extreme. This display of his skills attracted many people¡¯s applause. ¡°Bone-cutting blade technique!¡± Tang Hua was extremely shocked. He resisted with great difficulty with his broadsword and dispersed the lightning. However, in the next moment, his back was attacked. His armor was burned red, and his flesh was charred. old man, your strength isn¡¯t good enough. You must have taken some pills to increase your strength. Lin Mo appeared in the sky above Tang Hua and kicked him hard on the chest with a thunderous force. Tang Hua felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. His chest felt heavy and he coughed up blood. His body fell heavily, creating a huge pit on the ground. ¡°Forefather,¡± Within combat immortal sect, many disciples were shocked. It had only been a few moves and their patriarch had fallen into an absolute disadvantage. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m fine.¡± Tang Hua roared and flew out of the pit. His chest was charred black from the lightning. He took out a Jade bottle, poured out a spirit pill, and swallowed it. His injuries quickly healed. you¡¯re so stubborn. You¡¯ve already started eating spirit pills, yet you still say you¡¯re fine. Lin Mo laughed coldly. This old fellow might have been very strong in the past, but perhaps it was to extend his life, so his strength fluctuated greatly. ¡°Junior, don¡¯t be so arrogant.¡± Tang Hua shouted angrily. He held the broadsword in his hand and chanted a spell. His aura began to change and became stronger and stronger. The next moment, the broadsword in his hand turned golden and he slashed down at Lin Mo. The golden light bloomed and a powerful force exploded. Lin Mo felt a sharp pain on his skin and finally got serious. Tang Hua was still at the eighth sky of Nirvana stage. Even if he had been weakened, the power he could unleash was not to be underestimated. He hesitated for a moment, but still took out the Daluo divine sword, a rank 7 earth realm magic tool. The godly sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed. It was only a sword light, and Tang Hua¡¯s golden knife was broken. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Tang Hua was shocked. He looked at the long sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand and his heart beat wildly. He found it unbelievable. This was a level nine spiritual grade magic weapon. Even if it was an earth grade magic weapon, it would not break so quickly. don¡¯t make a fuss. This is a rank 7 earth realm weapon, the Daluo divine sword. If you haven¡¯t seen it before, it means you¡¯re not knowledgeable enough. Lin Mo chuckled. In the past, he had been worried about exposing his wealth and being hunted down. Now, he no longer had to worry. ¡°Rank 7 Earth Class ¡­¡± Tang Hua was shocked. He wanted to say something, but the Daluo divine sword was already above his head. With a flash of the sword, Tang Hua¡¯s body was split into two, and the soul in his head was also cut open. It was only a single sword strike, and he didn¡¯t even use any martial arts, but the combat immortal sect¡¯s old ancestor had died just like that. ¡°Old ancestor ¡­¡± The disciples of combat immortal sect were filled with grief and indignation. They looked at Lin Mo, who was like a god descending from the heavens, with anger and fear. even the old ancestor has been defeated. What should we do? we¡¯re no match for him. ¡°Sect master, we should surrender ¡­¡± Many disciples were crying helplessly, feeling that the end of the world had come. Of course, there were also many disciples who were filled with anger and wanted to go forward to fight. Even if they died, they would not hesitate. Chapter 474 - The Holy Land of the fallen Phoenix The Holy Land of the fallen Phoenix In the sky, Lin Mo looked at the combat immortal sect disciples and raised his hand. He said coldly, ¡± ¡°Violet spirit guards, attack!¡± ¡°Anyone who resists, kill without mercy!¡± When the Army attacked, combat immortal sect¡¯s defense was completely useless, and the sect protecting formation couldn¡¯t even block three attacks. After being defeated, many combat immortal sect disciples tried to escape, but they were stopped and killed by Yang Feng. At this point, the combat immortal sect no longer existed in this world, the once strong sect had collapsed. This area was also included as the territory of the purple Moon Palace. In the air, Lin Mo looked down at Yang Feng, Qiu Shan, and Ying Wu, who had come to report. ¡°How is it?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°Reporting to the commander, the sect master of combat immortal sect tried to escape with a few elders, but they were stopped and killed.¡± Yang Feng answered first. we found 200 million middle-grade spirit stones and countless treasures on them. They¡¯re all here. He presented a few interspatial rings, all of which were filled with treasures. On the other side, Qiu Shan also presented an interspatial ring and said, ¡± there were also some stubborn people who were killed. After they were killed, I took all their treasures. other than that, there is also the Treasury of combat immortal sect. The treasures that couldn¡¯t be transferred in time have been kept by me. Please have a look, commander. Yingwu also stepped forward and said. Lin Mo laughed out loud as he looked at the interspatial rings in front of him. The battle had ended, and it was a great harvest. ¡°In this attack, who contributed the most among those who surrendered in sky breaker city?¡± Lin Mo asked. commander, they are from the desert Chamber of Commerce. They are supporting a mercenary group and have contributed the most. Ying Wu reported. He was in charge of the attack after breaking the formation, so he could see it clearly. let the desert Chamber of Commerce take over the broken Sky City. Give the purple Moon Palace token and wait for orders. After giving a simple order, Lin Mo had the purple spirit guards clean up the battlefield while he began to inspect the treasures they had found. He kept the spatial rings into the system space and poured out all the treasures inside. A wave of majestic spiritual energy fluctuation gushed out like a flood. After an inventory check, there were more than 530 million middle-grade spirit stones here, which was all the savings of combat immortal sect. In addition, there were three half-step earth grade true treasures and more than a dozen spirit grade level nine true treasures. After the auction, these were all earth-rank treasures, so Lin Mo kept all of them. As for the rest, he called Yang Feng over and asked him to distribute them to the brothers of the purple spirit guard. I have use for the spiritual stones, so I¡¯ll keep them all. Distribute the rest of the treasures. We¡¯ll sell them when we get back to sky breaker city. Lin Mo ordered. He planned to rest for three days after taking down combat immortal sect. At the same time, he wanted to spread the news. ¡°Yes.¡± After Yang Feng left, the soldiers of the purple spirit guard were overjoyed. They had received so many rewards, and after they finished plundering the combat immortal sect, they returned to sky breaker city. At the same time, the news spread out, shocking the various powers. In less than three days, the purple spirit guards had won their first battle and gained a lot, and the Yan Huang dynasty had not said anything about it. This made people wonder why the Yan Huang divine dynasty, one of the four great divine dynasties, was like this. At the same time, news from other places also came. The commander of the three armies, Bai Luo, who had passed the Tribulation before the purple Moon Palace, led the inferno God Army on a Northern Expedition. They pushed forward and destroyed three sects. The battle was fruitful. Originally, that area was not ruled by anyone. The other God dynasties wanted to attack, but due to the other party¡¯s covetous eyes, they did not dare to act rashly. Now that the purple Moon Palace had taken action first, many people were waiting to see and at the same time, they wanted to know the attitude of the other dynasties. In the South of the purple Moon Palace, there were many mountain ranges and many demonic beast clans of all sizes. This place was rich in spirit herbs and was a fertile land. The great elder of the purple Moon Palace, Luo Haoyu, led an Army here and made all the demonic beast clans submit to him. They were willing to join the purple Moon Palace and pay tribute to him every year. The war continued. In half a month, the Yan Huang dynasty sent three armies to stop Lin Mo. At this time, Lin Mo had already conquered 50000 miles of Yan Huang dynasty¡¯s territory and had gained a lot. All the top forces in the eastern land sent out their spies to collect information. When he learned that the Yan Huang dynasty¡¯s three 10000-man armies had been defeated and chased by the purple spirit guards, he was dumbfounded. At that moment, Lin Mo was personally standing guard at the front line of the battlefield, protecting the violet spirit guards. The violet spirit guard had met a former Marquis of the Yan Huang dynasty, Meng lie, who had participated in an auction at the violet Moon Palace. As soon as the two sides met, a fierce battle broke out. Lin Mo, with the help of the purple spirit guards, burst out with a strong fighting spirit. Although the other party was a level nine peak expert, he was still no match for the Ziling guards and was forced to retreat. However, the purple spirit guards had also suffered some injuries. Many of them were coughing up blood and had lost their will to fight, so they needed to rest. commander, we¡¯ve just taken down another city. At this rate, we¡¯ll reach Yuan yang sacred land in two months. Yang Feng reported to Lin Mo. Other than the damage Meng lie had caused them, the other obstacles were nothing. The purple spirit guards swept over, and the sects along the way either surrendered or were killed. I understand. We¡¯ll start moving forward after we¡¯re done with the repairs today. Looking at the map that Yang Feng had spread out, they had already completed half of their attack. It had taken them half a month, and the road ahead would only get more and more difficult. If they were to encounter an even stronger Army, the violet spirit guards might not be able to defeat them. be prepared. The war has only just begun. The Yan Huang dynasty¡¯s counterattack is coming. Lin Mo said in a low voice. Yang Feng, Qiu Shan, and Ying Wu all nodded with solemn expressions. They knew that the Yan Huang divine dynasty would not let them attack. The top powers had not attacked yet. Otherwise, the violet spirit guard would not have been able to take down the city so easily. Oh right, I remember that the fallen Phoenix Holy Land is ten thousand miles ahead. It¡¯s not any weaker than the origin sun Holy Land. Lin Mo asked. This faction had not been well-known before, and very few people in the Army had heard of it. But after asking around, they found out that this Holy Land was very powerful, and the current Empress was the previous Holy maiden of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. It was precisely because of this that the Emperor had taken care of him in every way possible and made his son the Crown Prince, preparing to let him succeed the throne. according to the latest information, the fallen Phoenix Holy Land is more powerful than origin sun Holy Land. It¡¯s second only to Thunder Holy Land in the Yan Huang divine dynasty and on par with ancient Moon Holy Land. it¡¯s a city near the fallen Phoenix Holy Land, ¡± Yang Feng said as he pointed at the map. ¡°Fengxia city.¡± Lin Mo looked at the city. This was a city that was completely controlled by the fallen Phoenix Holy Land, and even the royal family didn¡¯t say anything. The fallen Phoenix Holy Land naturally didn¡¯t dare to be negligent in the face of the purple Moon Palace¡¯s attack. They had already set up an Army to guard the area. ¡°The strength of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land¡¯s Army is about the same as the flame God Army. They are not as strong as us. Their Grand Elder is even more extraordinary. He is an expert at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm.¡± Yang Feng¡¯s expression became serious. With the resources of the imperial family, this Grand Elder had already broken through. However, it was said that he wasn¡¯t confident that he could survive the heavenly Tribulation. Once the heavenly Tribulation descended, he would have to sever his cultivation if he wanted to live. Chapter 475 - Issuing a battle invitation Issuing a battle invitation moreover, the fallen Phoenix sacred ground has already issued a challenge to the purple spirit guard, waiting for us to go to Fengxia city. ¡°Right now, many people have gathered their eyes there. If we don¡¯t go, the reputation that we have built up over the past half a month will be destroyed.¡± Qiu Shan reported. The purple Moon Palace¡¯s target was top forces like the four divine dynasties, the divine Secrets Holy Land, and the hidden ghost sect. As the most powerful Army of the purple Moon Palace, the purple spirit guards could not afford to show their cowardice. ¡°You still dare to issue a battle invitation to us. You are really bold ¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered. He did not need to guess. The Yan Huang divine dynasty must have given them help, or else the fallen Phoenix sacred land would not dare to declare war on the Ziling guards. However, with the interference of the Yan Huang God dynasty, it was not good for them. Even though the Ziling guards had a high level of understanding of formations and could split into two armies, they were still too weak. However, the power of the battle formation would be weak and it could only barely fight with a ninth heaven Nirvana stage expert. In the dark, Meng lie had been watching him. He couldn¡¯t ignore this man. ¡°Pass on my order. In a day, the Army will advance at full speed. Our target is Fengxia city.¡± Lin Mo said. The flames of war were everywhere. This battle was inevitable. If the purple Moon Palace wanted to establish themselves in the eastern land, they had to accept this kind of provocative battle invitation. Moreover, they had to completely destroy the other party. ¡°Yes.¡± After receiving the order, the Army began to reorganize! The next day, the violet spirit guards finished resting and began to advance at full speed. In the distant East, a brutal war awaited them. Such an atmosphere ignited the blood of the soldiers. If they won this battle, the reputation of the purple spirit guards would resound throughout the entire Eastern continent. Lin Mo flew at the forefront, also full of fighting spirit. This was the first battle for the purple Moon Palace to gain a foothold in the world. Behind him, there was a woman who was looking up, waiting for his triumphant return. He must win this battle ¡­ Fengxia city. In this majestic city, there were many towering trees, and the city¡¯s protective array had been activated long ago. It was said that this city had existed for thousands of years, experiencing war after war, and still existed to this day. Now, the city was about to welcome its next battle. In the huge spiritual array, soldiers walked past one by one. They were waiting in formation, and powerful auras came from their bodies. Outside the city, there were silhouettes of people patrolling. Every one of them was a Nirvana stage expert. Under such an oppressive atmosphere, five days quietly passed. When the sun of the fifth day shone on the earth, outside of Phoenix City, at the end of the line of sight, an Army was flying over in a mighty manner. They were clad in golden armor and held purple flags. A thick battle intent swept out, causing the surrounding space to distort. ¡°Wuwu ¡­¡± The bugle horn sounded, and the soldiers on Fengxia city raised their hammers and beat the war drums. ¡°Thump ¡­¡± The people in the city trembled because they knew what the horn and the war drum meant. When the people reached the top of the city wall, they saw the purple spirit guards flying over. An Army of more than 50000 people flew out of the city. They were all dressed in red crowns and had long swords at their waists. The terrifying sword Qi soared into the sky and wreaked havoc in the world, causing the space to shatter. The ten thousand sword Army of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. This was an Army trained by the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. With their inheritance battle formation, the ten thousand sword battle formation, even an eighth firmament Nirvana realm expert would not dare to face them head-on. ¡°Swish!¡± Another wave of wind-breaking sounds could be heard as another army flew over from the side of the ten thousand sword Army. The commander of this Army was none other than the Crown Prince of the Yan Huang divine dynasty, Jiang Cheng. He personally led all his guards here to help the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve really surprised me. I didn¡¯t expect to meet an old friend here.¡± When the two armies appeared, Lin Mo¡¯s chuckling could be heard. He had already brought the purple spirit guards over. Lin Mo was a little surprised to see the two well-prepared armies. It wasn¡¯t because of the other party¡¯s strength, but because he was surprised that the Crown Prince had personally brought troops over. Wasn¡¯t he afraid that he would slip up and be captured by her? ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t try to get close to me. We¡¯re not friends.¡± The Crown Prince said coldly. When he saw the purple spirit guards, he was a little shocked. Such an Army was actually trained by his Royal sister ¡­ alright, let¡¯s not chat anymore. Let me test the strength of your two armies. Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand. The violet spirit Guard¡¯s fighting spirit gathered and formed a Thunderbird that flew forward. This simple attack contained an extremely terrifying power that was comparable to the attack of a ninth heaven Nirvana stage practitioner. If they were hit, the two armies would suffer heavy losses. However, just as the Thunderbird was about to hit its target, the space in front of it suddenly froze. Two figures walked out. One of them blew up the lightning bird with a palm strike, and his violent fighting spirit disappeared at this moment. ¡°BOOM!¡± He raised his hand and shot out a spirit energy Seal. It flew over and pointed directly at Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo gathered his fighting spirit and formed a barrier to block the attack. ¡°Buzz.¡± Even so, the fluctuation of spiritual energy and fighting spirit still spread out, and the collision between the two sides was evenly matched. Meng lie, you¡¯re here. You still dare to attack? aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll kill you? ¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. The powerful fighting spirit of the purple spirit guard surrounded his body, and through the spiritual four battle formation, it was unleashed to the extreme. Although there were only 5000 people in the purple spirit guard, they had trained in a battle formation of the ninth level of the spirit realm, which was far more powerful than the two armies of the other side. ¡°What a joke. You¡¯re just a junior who relies on the strength of the Army. Otherwise, how dare you be so arrogant in front of this old man?¡± Meng lie said angrily. Lin Mo had forced him back with his Army, and that had embarrassed him. we¡¯ve just met and we¡¯re already at daggers drawn. There¡¯s going to be. good show ¡­ Many people exclaimed in surprise and planned to watch a good show. Some people were confused. Meng lie and the great elder of the fallen Phoenix sacred land were enough to stop the purple spirit guards. Furthermore, there were two armies eyeing them covetously. Why was Lin Mo so confident? ¡°Cut the crap. Lin Mo, you¡¯re going to die today.¡± On the other side, the Crown Prince couldn¡¯t wait any longer. His side was stronger, and even if the Black Star guards suffered heavy losses, he had to make Lin Mo stay. I¡¯ve given you a lot of treasures before. Why do you hate me so much? ¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The current crown Prince was not strong enough. The fourth sky of the Nirvana realm, and he had just broken through, was far from his level. Previously, they were still able to fight back and forth with each other when they were in the Dragon Realm. Now, the crown prince¡¯s talent was gradually falling behind. by the way, xiyue¡¯s strength is now at the fifth tier of Nirvana stage. It won¡¯t be a problem for her to crush you. Lin Mo teased. These words successfully ignited the crown prince¡¯s anger. He held the inferno divine spear in his hand, mobilized his fighting spirit, and charged toward Lin Mo. ¡°Ten thousand sword Army, follow me to battle!¡± On the other side, the commander of the ten thousand swords Army also made his move and followed closely behind the Crown Prince. ¡°Purple spirit guards, form the spiritual four battle formation. Yang Feng will be in charge. Stop these two old men.¡± Lin Mo ordered the violet spirit guards to deal with Meng lie and the fallen Phoenix sacred land¡¯s Grand Elder. Chapter 476 - One versus three One versus three ¡°Yes, sir.¡± retreat! Yang Feng shouted. The fighting spirit of the violet spirit guards retreated from Lin Mo and covered Yang Feng. In an instant, Yang Feng¡¯s aura reached its peak. He was fighting Meng lie and the other person. On Lin Mo¡¯s side, he had also started fighting with the Crown Prince and the ten thousand sword Army. The ten thousand sword Army¡¯s ten thousand sword battle formation seemed to be more suitable for long-range attacks. Their fighting spirit condensed into sword Qi to assist Jiang Cheng and interfere with Lin Mo. Your Highness, you can¡¯t do it anymore. You¡¯re not my match even if you rely on your battle formation. Lin Mo sneered. The Daluo divine sword appeared in his hand again and clashed with the flame divine spear. As soon as they collided, the flame divine spear seemed to cry out in pain. The tip of the spear trembled and almost failed to block the edge of the Daluo divine sword. ¡°This is a magic tool above rank 5 Earth Class?¡± Jiang Cheng was shocked. How could Lin Mo have so many treasures? There were so many earth-rank treasures in the auction just now, and there were still more. Or could it be that the treasures in the monolith forbidden ground were not limited to the ones that Heavenly King Wu had seen? ¡°You still dare to be distracted while fighting me?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s cold voice rang out. Lightning and flames covered the sword¡¯s radiance as it slashed down ruthlessly at the Crown Prince. ¡°Qiang!¡± In the distance, the ten thousand swords Army¡¯s commander didn¡¯t dare to be slow. He sent out several thousand rays of sword Qi to help the Crown Prince resolve this attack. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lightning and flames exploded, forcing the Crown Prince to retreat. His fighting spirit was greatly diminished. Your Highness, there¡¯s no need to be disturbed by him. He has the God devouring body. It¡¯s normal for his cultivation speed to be a little faster after he devoured the spirit stones at the auction. At this moment, a voice came from the distance, reminding the Crown Prince. Lin Mo¡¯s God devouring body was no longer a secret. His cultivation speed could not be compared to ordinary people. Furthermore, the higher the realm, the slower Lin Mo¡¯s speed of advancement. He was currently at the 6th sky of Nirvana stage, but Lin Mo only succeeded after devouring the 10 tribulations lightning Jade. One had to know that he was already on the verge of a breakthrough, but in the end, he still consumed a huge amount of energy. ¡°According to my master¡¯s estimation, he would need to consume at least 10 billion medium spiritual stones to break through to the seventh sky of Nirvana stage.¡± A person flew over from the distance. He had a powerful aura and joined the battlefield. ¡°Meng Tian, it¡¯s another acquaintance. Why, did he come to ask for a beating?¡± Lin Mo teased. The fallen Phoenix Holy Land was really well prepared. Not only had they called Meng lie, but they had also called Meng Tian. He was also a genius, and his combat strength was no weaker than Jiang xiyue¡¯S. He was now at the fifth sky of Nirvana stage. If he was alone, Lin Mo could deal with him easily. But now, it was no longer possible. The ten thousand sword Army was watching like a tiger watching its prey, and the Crown Prince controlled 100000 personal guards. Their combat strength had barely reached the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. With the three of them working together, even Lin Mo would have to avoid them. ¡°Interesting, but that¡¯s all.¡± Lin Mo blocked the crown prince¡¯s attack but was attacked from the back by Meng Tian. If not for the fact that his body had been tempered by the heavenly Tribulation and was no longer flawless, he would have been injured. ¡°Heaven-splitting sword Qi, one sword to cut the sky.¡± He shouted. His right hand held the Daluo divine sword while his left hand formed an incantation gesture. Lightning and fire spread out. A powerful force spread out, and the sword Qi soared into the sky. At the next moment, a huge sword light slashed down. The Crown Prince gathered his fighting spirit to block it. The commander of the ten thousand swords Army did the same and blocked it together with the Crown Prince. At the back, Meng Tian was preparing his martial arts and wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Seeing this, Lin Mo sneered. The heaven-splitting sword Qi fell without any hesitation. In an instant, lightning flashed, Thunder roared, and fire soared into the sky. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± With a soft sound, the flame divine spear collided with the Daluo divine sword, and a crack appeared on the tip of the spear. A crack appeared on the indestructible Inferno divine spear, an earth-grade magic weapon. Although it was very small, many people still saw it. Oh my God, an earth-Rank Magic weapon is broken. What rank is Lin Mo¡¯s divine sword? ¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s at least rank 5 Earth Class. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have damaged the divine spear of flames so quickly.¡± Many people sighed. The purple Moon Palace was too rich. They had earned so many spirit stones from the auction, and almost all of the high-level officials had an earth grade magic weapon. And now, Lin Mo had taken out a godly sword that was above rank 5 Earth Class ¡­ ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± The Crown Prince was a little dazed. He looked at the tiny crack on the tip of the spear and muttered to himself. He felt like he was dreaming. This was too unreal. This was an earth-grade magic weapon. In the history of the eastern continent, it was rare for an earth-grade magic weapon to be damaged. Even if they did, it would be a battle between experts of the ninth heaven. Only the power of an expert of that level could damage an earth-grade magic weapon. ¡°What a good divine sword ¡­¡± The Crown Prince could not believe it, while Lin Mo was ecstatic. The power of the Daluo divine sword satisfied him too much, and its power was even greater after he used the martial arts. It actually caused a crack in the inferno divine spear. haha, so this is the Yan Huang divine dynasty¡¯s nation-guarding magic weapon? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s anything special. Lin Mo laughed and waved his sword behind him to counter Meng Tian¡¯s sneak attack. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± The Crown Prince shouted in anger, his eyes almost splitting. This was his favorite magical tool, but it had actually changed twice. The last time he was defeated by Jiang xiyue, his magic weapon was taken away, and the Yan Huang divine dynasty had to auction it back. And now, it was even more serious. During the battle with Lin Mo, a crack had actually appeared ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s hard to say who¡¯s looking for death.¡± Lin Mo said coldly as he once again engaged in a fierce battle with the Crown Prince. His battle intent and sword Qi erupted, and Lin Mo fought with incomparable ease. Through the battle, he realized that his combat strength could fight with an eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. When faced with the nine Heavens, he could only escape. Such an expert was invincible and needed to advance. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t be so arrogant. Do you really think that I can¡¯t deal with you?¡± Meng Tian, who was sent flying by Lin Mo due to a sneak attack, was furious. He was a genius but Lin Mo ignored him. ¡°Pfft!¡± He suddenly slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of golden blood. The moment he appeared, he was set ablaze. The flames spread to Meng Tian¡¯s body and covered his golden armor. At this moment, it was as if he was wearing a flaming armor, and the aura on his body rose even further. However, this was still not enough. His aura stopped at the peak of the fifth sky of the Nirvana realm, and he was just one step away from the sixth sky. ¡°It¡¯s still not enough ¡­¡± He stretched out his hand that was covered in flames, took out a Jade bottle, and crushed it. The flames spread, and one of the spirit pills was touched by the flames, exuding a powerful aura. Meng Tian swallowed the spiritual pill and his aura increased tremendously. He then entered Level 6. ¡°Lin Mo, die ¡­¡± Meng Tian roared and slapped Lin Mo with his burning palm. A terrifying aura spread out, even surpassing that of the Crown Prince, who was borrowing the power of his fighting intent. Seeing this, the Crown Prince was overjoyed. He joined forces with the Army of ten thousand swords and launched a frenzied attack on Lin Mo. At this point, Lin Mo finally felt the pressure. Meng Tian¡¯s combat strength was already very strong. After his realm caught up, the gap between them became smaller. Although he had used a special method to increase his combat power, and his combat power could not be compared to Lin Mo¡¯s, one should not forget that Lin Mo was now fighting one against three. The two armies were not to be underestimated. With the three parties joining forces, Lin Mo¡¯s attacks were no longer suppressing them. Both sides were equal. Chapter 477 - Restraining the Army Restraining the Army In the end, Lin Mo would even occasionally be at a disadvantage. ¡°Elders of the fallen Phoenix sacred land, form a killing formation and follow me to kill this fiend.¡± At this time, the fallen Phoenix Holy Land¡¯s Saint sovereign finally made a move. Seeing hope, she gathered the elders and took out array flags to set up in the distance. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re looking for death.¡± Lin Mo snorted and moved away, forcing Meng Tian to retreat. He took the sword radiance of the Army of ten thousand swords head-on and forced the Crown Prince to retreat. Behind him, a Vermilion Bird¡¯s Shadow appeared, and the lightning disappeared. The flames spread, and Lin Mo¡¯s body was surrounded by the purest fire element. This was the archaic Vermillion bird¡¯s incomplete technique, the ¡°cloud piercing four destruction.¡± When this technique was used, one could control the Vermillion bird¡¯s divine flames. The divine flame took form, turning into a three-meter-long Vermillion Bird. The killing formation of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land had not been completed yet. Lin Mo waved his hand, and the Vermilion Bird flew out to attack the other party. ¡°Quickly Dodge.¡± The Crown Prince was shocked. The power of Lin Mo¡¯s move was too terrifying, and even he did not dare to block it. Behind them, the elders of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land turned pale. The Vermilion Bird was too fast, and they couldn¡¯t Dodge it. ¡°Continue setting up the formation.¡± The Saint Lord shouted as he took out a heavenly book that was glowing. The pages of the book were flipped open, and the runes on the pages were all aimed at the Vermilion Bird. ¡°Swish!¡± However, this was the Vermilion bird¡¯s divine flame, which contained the ultimate Dao fire. It was the true essence that Lin Mo had comprehended from the great Dao of fire. How could the runes formed by this magic tool resist it? The Vermilion Bird Phantom didn¡¯t show any signs of being stopped, and its might didn¡¯t decrease as it exploded in front of the elders of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± Miserable shrieks followed one after another. The formation that was being set up collapsed, the formation flags were burned, and even the elders who set up the formation suffered heavy casualties. The Saint Lord at the forefront of the group was already heavily injured. The heavenly book had been damaged by Lin Mo¡¯s attack. Even a level nine spiritual grade magic item could not withstand the Vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames. ¡°It¡¯s. pity ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. If he were to auction it, it would be an earth grade magic weapon. What a pity. ¡°Cough ¡­¡± The sacred land¡¯s Saint Lord coughed and fell to the ground. His body was charred black, and he had used up more than half of his spiritual energy to help him resist the Vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames. Even so, he almost died. If Lin Mo had added a bit more spirit Qi when he was preparing this move, the Holy Land¡¯s Holy leader would have died. ¡°What a terrifying attack ¡­¡± Many people in the city swallowed their saliva and spoke with difficulty. They imagined that if they were the ones to take the blow, they would probably be reduced to ashes by now. ¡°It is unexpected that the so-called Holy master would actually be so weak ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He realized that this sacred Lord¡¯s strength was also very superficial. If the heavenly Tribulation descended, he would definitely die if he did not sever his own realm. Although he was at the eighth sky of Nirvana realm, he was at the peak of the seventh sky at best, and he had broken through with spiritual pills. Moreover, the side effects of this spiritual pill should be very great, unlike the immortal Ascension pill, where one could avoid the fluctuation of one¡¯s realm with a little care. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± On the ten thousand sword Army¡¯s side, their commander seemed to have gone mad. His sword Qi continued to explode, forcing Lin Mo to take a few steps back. Their Saint Lord had almost been killed in a single move, and he had even been humiliated in such a way. This was something they could not accept. ¡°Guards, follow me and fight to the death.¡± die! the Crown Prince bellowed and activated his battle intent to the greatest extent. The inferno divine spear was like a Savage Dragon that was born and swept over. Meng Tian started to fight with his life. After witnessing Lin Mo¡¯s methods, they did not dare to delay as they were worried that Lin Mo would try again. ¡°Have you forgotten that I have the God Devourer body? do you want to fight a war of attrition with me?¡± Lin Mo sneered. He was not afraid of a war of attrition because his spiritual Qi was still abundant and showed no signs of running out. ¡°God-devouring body, God-slaying domain!¡± He conjured a seal with his left hand, and a black ring of light spread out from Lin Mo¡¯s dantian, covering a radius of 10000 meters. The spirit Qi within it was continuously pouring into Lin Mo¡¯s body. On the other hand, the spirit Qi in the bodies of the Crown Princess and the others was rapidly disappearing as they were being devoured. This was especially true for the ten thousand sword Army and the Imperial Guards. They were an Army, and their individual cultivation levels were low. More than 90% of them had not even reached the Nirvana realm. In the face of the God Devourer body¡¯s devouring, they could not resist at all. In just a few breaths, more than half of them had exhausted their spiritual energy. The crown prince¡¯s fighting spirit quickly disappeared, and his aura dropped from level eight to level six. It was the same for the Army of ten thousand swords. Their combat strength had dropped, and they could no longer pose a threat to Lin Mo. ¡°It can be done like this?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He did not expect the God devouring body to be so effective against the Army. It was simply a complete torture ¡­ Since he was at the sixth sky of Nirvana realm, these soldiers could not resist at all and had all lost their combat strength. Even the Crown Prince and the commanders of the ten thousand sword Army were affected, and their spiritual Qi disappeared very quickly. ¡°Meng Tian, do you want their spiritual energy?¡± Lin Mo chuckled and gathered the spiritual Qi that he had just absorbed. Purple divine light appeared under his feet. A ray of divine light bloomed and the illusionary image of a Qilin appeared. Not far away, Meng Tian was shocked when he saw this. Last time, he had suffered a loss because of this move. He did not expect it to happen again. of course, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t accept it. I¡¯ll kick someone else, but I don¡¯t know if they can resist it ¡­ Lin Mo said with a half-smile, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Crown Prince. His realm was lower than Lin Mo¡¯s. If the Qilin steps really landed on him, the Crown Prince would definitely die. At that time, even if the Yan Huang divine dynasty did not say anything, they would definitely have a problem with Meng Tian. Knowing this, Meng Tian gritted his teeth and recited the mantra, planning to fight Lin Mo to the death. hehe, that¡¯s right. I just don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll be able to take the ¡®Qilin steps¡¯ this time. Lin Mo smiled faintly. Purple divine eyes bloomed beneath his feet, and his figure disappeared like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Meng Tian. A Qilin symbol appeared under his feet and he kicked him viciously. Runes appeared on Meng Tian¡¯s hands and the flames on his body were gathered on his palms. The flames turned golden, and his aura became even more powerful. This attack contained all of his power. ¡°BOOM!¡± A terrifying explosion rang out as the Qilin tattoo exploded and was destroyed by the Golden flames. This was the rune of an immemorial godly beast but it was destroyed by Meng Tian. This showed how powerful he was. However, Lin Mo¡¯s strength was superior. The Qilin symbol exploded and the power that was released was even stronger. However, Meng Tian no longer had the strength to resist. The aftermath of the explosion engulfed the two of them, and the terrifying fluctuations attracted everyone¡¯s attention. That included Meng lie, who was fighting in the distance. When he saw this, his eyes became bloodshot, and his heart trembled. ¡°The child ¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t care less about the purple spirit guard in front of him and retreated, breaking away from Yang Feng¡¯s battle intent. This made Yang Feng feel helpless. Even if he could defeat a level nine expert, he couldn¡¯t stop the other party from escaping. After the explosion, Lin Mo walked out unscathed. Other than the fact that he had used up a lot of spiritual energy and his face was pale, he did not suffer any losses. At the center of the explosion, the smoke and dust dispersed, and everyone looked over. Chapter 478 - A Major Victory He saw Meng lie holding a body covered in blood. He didn¡¯t know if it was Dead or Alive. ¡°Cough ¡­¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Meng Tian coughed and his body trembled. He wanted to stand up but could not. ¡°He¡¯s still alive ¡­¡± Everyone was shocked as they knew that Meng Tian¡¯s abilities could not be underestimated if he was able to survive the explosion. ¡°He didn¡¯t die even after this ¡­¡± In the distance, Lin Mo consumed a spirit pill to recover his spirit Qi. He was shocked when he saw that Meng Tian was still breathing. This move was extremely powerful as it was formed from the spiritual energy that he had absorbed. He thought that he could kick Meng Tian to death but he was a little short. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± On the other side, on the purple spirit Guard¡¯s battlefield, the Grand Elder of the fallen Phoenix sacred land was no match for the purple spirit guard because they didn¡¯t have Meng lie¡¯s strong fighting power. Under Yang Feng¡¯s attack, the opponent was quickly defeated. His abdomen was pierced and his dantian was injured. ¡®The fallen Phoenix Holy Land ¡­¡¯ I¡¯ve lost.¡± Many people in Fengxia city sighed. Lin Mo had the God Devourer body and would recover very quickly. In the purple spirit guard, many soldiers were taking spirit pills to recover their spirit Qi and energy. Moreover, after the victory, their fighting spirit was even higher and stronger than before. This was the mystery of battle intent, the more one fought, the more courageous one became. ¡°It¡¯s time to end this. Violet spirit guards, follow me and kill Meng lie.¡± Lin Mo gave the order and personally led the purple spirit guards to control the fighting spirit. Using the Daluo divine sword as a medium, they exploded with even more power. In front of them, Meng lie¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred, but he didn¡¯t dare to stop. He carried Meng Tian and broke through the blockade of the battle intent. He came to a place not far away with the Crown Prince and the flame divine spear. He tore open the space with his bare hands and threw the two of them into it. Then, he prepared to escape. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Of course, Lin Mo wasn¡¯t going to let his opponent have his way. He raised his sword and swung it down. The sword light hit Meng lie¡¯s shoulder, and it almost cut off his arm. But in the end, Meng lie still managed to escape. This was the disadvantage of the fighting spirit. It could not seal the space. Maybe a stronger battle formation could do it, but not a level nine spirit grade one ¡­ Furthermore, the Army was moving too slowly. Lin Mo had no way of giving chase and could only watch helplessly as the other party escaped. However, even though they had escaped, the crown prince¡¯s 100000 Imperial Guards had no way of escaping and were captured by Lin Mo. There were also the ten thousand sword Army and the elders of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land. This Holy Land had a deep connection with the Yan Huang divine dynasty, and Lin Mo would not accept their surrender. However, he wasn¡¯t a bloodthirsty person. Other than the two armies, he let go of the elders and disciples of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land who weren¡¯t a threat. For now, this was under the condition that he left behind all his treasures. ¡°What a great harvest ¡­¡± After breaking through the array, the purple spirit guards drove the disciples away. Lin Mo went straight to the Treasury and opened it with the technique he had learned from the elders. A thick spirit Qi filled the air. The stone door shattered and exploded in the next moment. Immediately after, a blinding light bloomed. A figure holding a dagger, hidden under spirit Qi, stabbed at Lin Mo. Seeing this figure, Yang Feng and the others were shocked and blurted out, ¡± ¡°Be careful,¡± he warned. Lin Mo reacted immediately. He raised his hand and clenched the dagger tightly in his hand. His other hand exerted a little force and struck out. Flames and lightning exploded and hit the person. ¡°Bang!¡± With a slight movement of his sleeve, a strong wind spread out like a wave. The man was sent flying and fell to the ground in a sorry state. After sending the other party flying, Yang Feng and the other two stepped forward and pressed their weapons between the man¡¯s eyebrows. If the other party dared to make any moves, they would immediately destroy his soul. ¡°Sixth sky of Nirvana stage, you must be the overseer of this place. Why aren¡¯t you escaping?¡± Said Lin Mo. When Lin Mo was breaking the formation, many elders had escaped with their disciples, but he had not left. ¡°The undying of the Holy Land, you will pay the price sooner or later ¡­¡± That person shouted coldly. His eyes were filled with unwillingness. He circulated his spiritual energy to attack but was killed by Yang Feng and the other two. unfortunately, he¡¯s a loyal person, but he¡¯s not on our side ¡­ Lin Mo sighed. This person still fulfilled his duty in the end. He was worthy of respect. As he walked into the treasure vault, mid-grade spirit stones were scattered all over the place, filling up half of the vault. Counting carefully, there were more than two billion spirit stones ¡­ Other than that, there was also the fallen Phoenix Holy Land¡¯s collection. In the middle, there were bookshelves with scrolls on them. These were all rare martial arts, cultivation methods, and pill recipes ¡­ In addition, there were also medicinal fields in the treasure vault, where many spiritual herbs were planted. The most precious of them was a fruit tree in the middle. this is a sunset fruit tree. It bears fruits once every ten years, and there are three to five fruits. It¡¯s said that this fruit tree has absorbed the blood of a real phoenix or real phoenix, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not ¡­ Yang Feng exclaimed. The fallen Phoenix Holy Land was indeed powerful and had so many treasures. ¡°As expected of a force that has existed for more than a thousand years. Come and look at this place. It¡¯s an earth grade cultivation method and martial arts ¡­¡± Qiu Shan¡¯s voice was heard when they were looking at the sunset fruit tree. Lin Mo walked over and took the two scrolls from Qiu Shan¡¯s hands. He extended his spiritual sense to read them. Very quickly, the information on the two scrolls was transmitted into his mind. ? < art of the singing Phoenix > >, a rank 3 Earth Class skill, passed down from the ancient times. Some powerful warriors had learned it after watching a real phoenix Fly. When it was at its peak, it was a rank 9 Earth Class cultivation technique, which was found by the ancestors of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land in the forbidden land, fallen Phoenix Ridge. However, when he found it, it was already an incomplete technique, with only the power of a rank 3 Earth Class. It also came with a set of martial arts that could only be learned by those who practiced the singing Phoenix chant. The pseudo Phoenix claw and the singing Phoenix chant were created by the same person. It was a martial art created by observing the real phoenix claw. However, its power was far inferior to the heavenly Phoenix claw. Hence, it was named the fake Phoenix ¡­ the fallen Phoenix Ridge. That forbidden area seems to be in the great ancient divine dynasty. If there¡¯s a chance, I should go and take a look ¡­ Lin Mo muttered. That forbidden land was very dangerous, but it was also open to the public. The great ancient divine dynasty did not interfere too much. move all the treasures. Don¡¯t touch the ones at level nine of the spirit grade. I need them. After instructing Yang Feng and the others, Lin Mo also put away the pseudo Phoenix claw and the singing Phoenix chant. Other than that, there was another Earth rank martial art that was part of the fallen Phoenix Holy Land¡¯s collection, and it had also fallen into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. Lin Mo kept all the spiritual stones and the sunset fruit tree. The three fruits on it were given to Yang Feng and the other two. Although he really wanted to auction it off, he could see their desire for the sunset fruit, so he decided to fulfill their wish. what is the attitude of Phoenix city¡¯s forces? ¡± It took an entire day to count the treasures in the treasure vault. Lin Mo only came out the next morning. ¡°Those who didn¡¯t want to surrender have already escaped. The rest are willing to submit to the purple Moon Palace.¡± Yang Feng stepped forward. For a day, they didn¡¯t pay any attention to Phoenix City. Those who should have escaped had already fled. ¡°Then what about the ten thousand sword Army and the Imperial Guards? how are they?¡± Lin Mo asked again. It would be a pity to kill these two armies, but it seemed like they could not be used by him ¡­ Chapter 479 - The Captured Army they didn¡¯t act rashly. It¡¯s just that their fighting spirit is weak and they don¡¯t have the heart to resist. Qiu Shan reported that the commanders of the two armies had come to him and asked how they should be dealt with. The two armies were a great temptation to any force. This included Lin Mo. He wanted to keep them for his own use, but at the same time, he was worried that there would be spies from the Yan Huang dynasty. ¡°Commander ¡­¡± Yang Feng wanted to say something but stopped himself. just say what you want to say. We¡¯re all comrades, and we¡¯re as close as brothers. There¡¯s no need to hide. Lin Mo said. Yang Feng nodded and said softly, ¡± although the purple Moon Palace needs an Army now, we still have to be cautious. I think we should kill ¡­ ¡°If the commander can not bear it, you can cripple him ¡­¡± At the end, he added that it was indeed inappropriate to kill more than 100000 people in fear of Lin Mo¡¯s rejection. Yang Feng, you¡¯ve been the commander of the purple spirit guard before. Do you think that the purple spirit guard can defeat them without the battle formation? ¡± Lin Mo asked. The violet spirit guards were the strongest army in the violet Moon Palace. Even without a battle formation, they were still the strongest. Among them, there were more than five hundred Nirvana Stage practitioners, and each of them had passed the heavenly Tribulation. The rest of them were all at Dragon Realm level 28 and above. Such a powerful Army had no shortcomings, except for their small number. Yang Feng, Qiu Shan, and Ying Wu fell into a short silence as they pondered over Lin Mo¡¯s words. In the end, the three of them looked at each other and said to Lin Mo respectfully, ¡± ¡°No matter which army it is, the Ziling guards will be able to kill them all.¡± ¡°But ¡­¡± Speaking of this, Yang Feng and the others felt helpless and said, ¡± ¡°However, in the end, less than a hundred people from the purple spirit guards survived ¡­¡± This was the truth. Jiang xiyue had also known this reason back then. Therefore, apart from the red armor Army, the flame God Army and the purple spirit guards had very high standards for quality. But after all, she only had the moon Pavilion to help her accumulate resources. Her Foundation was not strong enough, causing the two armies to be small in number. a ferocious Tiger can¡¯t defeat a group of monkeys. Only a peerless combat power like the commander can crush the Army. In the previous battle, Lin Mo had fought against the ten thousand sword Army, the guards and Meng Tian alone. However, how many people like Lin Mo were there in this world? ¡°How many mid rank spirit stones have the violet spirit guard used up since its establishment?¡± Lin Mo asked again. This number should be quite a lot, but he had never heard of it before. Yang Feng thought for a while and said, ¡± ¡°I should ¡­ It¡¯s over ten billion ¡­¡± The previous consumption wasn¡¯t much, and it was the consumption since its establishment. However, in order to let them pass the heavenly Tribulation to the greatest extent, Bai Luo had thrown spiritual stones and treasures at them without any cost. Every soldier had the opportunity to refine their bones, disperse their cultivation, and re-cultivate. That cultivation had cost them at least three billion medium-grade spirit stones ¡­ ¡°Is it like this ¡­¡± Lin Mo started to think. Although these two troops were not as good as the purple spirit guards, they were still valuable. let¡¯s wait. When the second elder comes, let her escort the two armies back and let the Yan Huang dynasty pay the ransom ¡­ After thinking about it, he felt that resources were more important. It just so happened that his little aunt was patrolling the back. When she came over, he could continue the expedition without worry. ¡°Commander, how much ransom should we collect?¡± Yang Feng and the others were interested. If the ransom was too high, the Yan Huang dynasty would not agree. But if it was too low, they could not let him go so easily. I don¡¯t need much. 2.5 billion medium spiritual stones for an Army is enough. Lin Mo laughed. It was not like he had never extorted people before, so he was very familiar with it. The Ziling guards guarded the three armies and spread the news to the Yan Huang dynasty, asking them to pay spirit stones for the prisoners. On this day, Fengxia city was included in the territory of the purple Moon Palace. While Lin Mo was resting in Fengxia city, he was also cultivating his swordsmanship and deepening his understanding of the sword Qi. It stopped for a long time, even making people think that the purple Moon Palace¡¯s conquest had ended. However, on the fifth day, the purple Moon Palace¡¯s second elder, beautiful silk, led her Army over. She left with the ten thousand sword Army and the Black Star guards, heading for the purple Moon Palace. Lin Mo once again set out on his journey. The purple spirit guards attacked, taking down city after city. There were even many sects who saw that the purple Moon Palace¡¯s expedition route would pass by them and directly withdrew, leaving behind an empty shell. The whole world was shocked. In a month, the territory of the purple Moon Palace had expanded dozens of times. This became a topic of discussion, and some people even started a bet on when the purple Moon Palace would stop. Of course, some people thought that the purple Moon Palace would be defeated by the Yan Huang dynasty and the territory would be taken away. Everyone had different opinions. But soon, people were shocked. Some busybodies followed the purple Moon Palace¡¯s Army to check the progress. In the end, they discovered that the troops in the north and south had taken 150000 miles of territory and ordered people to build a defense line. They stopped their attack and spent another month or so to recruit the forces 150000 miles from the north to the south of the purple Moon Palace and collect taxes. When everything was settled, the great elder Luo Haoyu led 50000 red armor soldiers to the East. The commander of the three armies, Bai Luo, also led the flame God Army forward. In addition, there was also the second elder, Qi Luo. Their goal was to meet up with the purple spirit guard at the front. ¡°Something big has happened. The three armies of the purple Moon Palace have gathered and are about to attack the Yan Huang divine dynasty.¡± it¡¯s absolutely true. The three parties are attacking in such a grandiose manner. It¡¯s too shocking. Many people were shocked. The topic of discussion among the people was the same. that¡¯s not right. If the purple Moon Palace¡¯s three armies are mobilized, what about the headquarters? who¡¯s going to defend it? ¡± Someone asked. Didn¡¯t the purple Moon Palace only have three armies? they had all been mobilized. Moreover, the strongest great elder and second elder had been sent out, and only the palace Master was left? yes, the purple Moon Palace is empty. Aren¡¯t you afraid that someone will take advantage of this? ¡± ¡°If you can think of this, how could the purple Moon Palace not?¡± Someone said. He had participated in that major auction, so he knew the news. one of the reclusive Masters of the past, senior Tian Sha, is now in charge of the purple Moon Palace. Who would dare to cause trouble? ¡± that¡¯s right, and the purple Moon Palace¡¯s Red armor Army has only dispatched 60000 troops, and there are still 140000 left to guard. Everyone chimed in and pieced together the information, letting those who didn¡¯t know understand. At the same time, on the Yan Huang divine dynasty¡¯s side, Lin Mo had already led his Army deep in and stopped ten miles away from the yuan yang Holy Land. The reason why he didn¡¯t attack directly was that he sensed a powerful aura in Yuan yang Holy Land. There wasn¡¯t just one of this aura, and it made him feel apprehensive. It seemed that as he went deeper, the Yan Huang dynasty could no longer sit still. They had sent out their power from the palace. commander Bai Luo, great elder, second elder will arrive here in three days. We can attack then. In the tent, Yang Feng and the others reported the situation to Lin Mo. Chapter 480 - The Last Battle The few of them were a little nervous, but more than that, they were excited. This was because the next battle might be the last one. As long as they could win, the purple Moon Palace would really become a top force. Furthermore, the Yan Huang dynasty that looked down on them would be trampled under their feet. On the other hand, if they lost, it would be an unacceptable blow to the purple Moon Palace, and they might even be unable to recover from it ¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Moreover, we might not lose ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed as he consoled them. However, he was not sure. After all, the Yan Huang divine dynasty had stood in the eastern land for so many years. He did not believe that they did not have a trump card. However, he did not know what the so-called trump card was ¡­ Three days passed by quickly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. In the early morning, a ray of sunlight appeared from the East. After waiting for three days, the Army of the purple Moon Palace finally arrived amid the cries of surprise of the people. The flame God Army, clad in Scarlet armor, flew out of the mountains in unison. It was as if there were flames burning around them. The rush did not consume their fighting spirit, and they were still in high spirits. ¡°I¡¯ve waited for. long time, everyone ¡­¡± Behind them, 60000 red armored soldiers followed closely behind the flame God Army, waiting for orders. Beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu flew over. At this point, all the main forces of the purple Moon Palace had arrived at the battlefield. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, give the order. We can begin the final attack.¡± Luo Haoyu stepped forward. Jiang xiyue was not around, so Lin Mo was the one giving orders. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dawdle. He flew into the air and gathered the commanders of the three armies. ¡°Everyone, form a battle formation and follow me.¡± Lin Mo raised his hand, and the Daluo divine sword appeared. The sword Qi soared into the sky, and the fighting spirit of the Army behind him erupted. ¡°Kill!¡± The earth-shaking battle cries could be heard even from a dozen miles away. This killing intent made them extremely nervous as they looked into the distance. There were five armies sent by the Yan Huang dynasty, led by the five Heavenly Kings of the dynasty. This was the foundation of the Yan Huang God dynasty, but not all. Even so, it was enough to shock the world. A moment later, a huge Army appeared outside Yuan yang Holy Land. Lin Mo¡¯s figure flew at the very front. Beautiful silk, Luo Haoyu, Bai Luo, and the others followed closely behind. The Army behind them was aggressive. Yuan yang Holy Land, lay down your arms and surrender. Otherwise, kill without mercy. Lin Mo stood outside the sacred land¡¯s array and said coldly. However, what he got in response was a sharp sword ray. This sword seemed to be able to cut down the sun, moon, and stars. It was extremely bright and dazzling. A terrifying fluctuation spread. Everyone watched the sword. This was the response of the origin sun Holy Land. Seeing this, Lin Mo raised his hand and used his fingers as a sword, gently slashing down. A powerful sword Qi exploded. It was incomparably terrifying. The two collided, but there was no explosion. Both of them were annihilated. The shattering of space shocked many people. This was a clash between two top experts. It was too powerful ¡­ ¡°Very good ¡­¡± After blocking the attack, Lin Mo sneered. The other party¡¯s attitude was clear. He would fight to the death. ¡°Red armor Army, get into formation.¡± ¡°Flame God Army, get into formation.¡± ¡°Purple spirit guards, on standby.¡± After the three orders were given, two battle formations were formed in a dozen breaths, one for attack and one for defense. Bai Luo controlled the flame God Army. His fighting spirit was concentrated on his body, and he exerted a powerful force. A long spear appeared in her hand. Spear will formed and she hacked at the protective formation of Yuan yang Holy Land. ¡°Oh,¡± With the support of the flame God Army¡¯s fighting spirit, Bai Luo¡¯s strength was extremely terrifying. The originally indestructible sect protecting formation was already trembling. ¡°Grand Elder, second elder, attack!¡± Lin Mo gave the order again, and damask and Luo Haoyu attacked with their magic tools at the same time. The two of them activated their earth grade magical artifacts and exploded with astonishing combat power, causing the sacred land¡¯s formation to tremble. ¡°Bastard.¡± A furious roar was heard, and a few attacks flew out. They passed through the formation and attacked Bai Luo and the others. ¡°Red armor Army, block!¡± Lin Mo shouted. The light protection battle formation was on full display. Although it could not be moved, its defensive power was unparalleled. The other party¡¯s attack could not affect Bai Luo and the other two at all. As for Bai Luo, he was in control of the battle formation. The soul shattering spear in his hand also had a strong penetrating power. He would be able to unleash his greatest power in this battle. Therefore, the formation of Yuan yang Holy Land did not even last ten minutes. It was broken by the three of them. ¡°How is this possible?¡± When the formation was broken, the inside of Yuan yang Holy Land appeared. The Saint Lord¡¯s face was full of disbelief. Chapter 481 - Facing Off Against the Five Heavenly Kings Facing off against the five Heavenly Kings ¡°Five experts comparable to the ninth heaven ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s gaze gradually turned serious. He was confident but not conceited. This battle would be a tough one for him. Dazzling flames and lightning bloomed from Lin Mo¡¯s body. His fighting spirit replaced the spirit Qi in his body. At the same time, the God devouring body¡¯s domain bloomed. This method could be effective against the Army, but his current situation was a little different. This was because there were five of them, and their joint attack caused his heart to palpitate. If he were to divert his attention to absorb the spiritual energy of the other party¡¯s Army, he was afraid that these five people would find an opportunity to kill him here. Unable to find an opportunity, Lin Mo could only meet the attack head-on. He stomped his foot, causing the space to shatter and his figure to disappear. Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappear, Heavenly King Wu¡¯s eyes narrowed. He immediately formed a seal with his palm and struck to the side. The battle intent on the palm print was like an ocean, and the space was directly shattered. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in the air. He slashed the palm print with the Daluo divine sword. As he raised his hand, lightning and flames erupted, and he charged toward Lord Zhennan. However, the other party was well prepared. He used his martial arts to fight Lin Mo. The sword and saber collided, and sparks flew in all directions. The violent power spread, and Lin Mo¡¯s body suffered a heavy blow. His figure retreated, and he took a dozen steps in the air before coming to a stop. On his chest, a huge fist print appeared, and waves of intense pain came. He raised his head and looked at the five people in front of him, somewhat surprised. When he was fighting with the Duke of the South, he was ambushed by the other four. He dodged most of them, but he was still hit. this purple spirit guard has raised his strength to the peak of the ninth heaven. We can¡¯t let him live. Heavenly King Wu said with a serious expression. It was only five thousand purple spirit guards, and they already had such power. If there were more of them, wouldn¡¯t they be able to reach immortal-Foundation? From afar, Lin Mo looked at the five of them and knew that they were going to be difficult to deal with. Because these five people were very strong and familiar with each other, their cooperation was flawless, and it was very difficult for him to find an opportunity to defeat them one by one. ¡°Kid, you are indeed a genius. But I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to stay alive today.¡± Heavenly King Wu said with a cold smile. His sleeves fluttered even though there was no wind, and a powerful force gathered in front of him. A fighting spirit as vast as the ocean gathered within, making this power even stronger. The next moment, he flew up into the sky and pointed at Lin Mo. As his finger pressed down, runes flickered in his palm and gathered. ¡°Oh,¡± The fighting spirit gathered and a mountain formed in front of Wu Heavenly King. Seeing this, the other four looked at Lin Mo vigilantly. The Duke of the South and the Duke of the North both attacked Lin Mo. Their goal was simple. They did not want Lin Mo to gather his strength to fight back. The other two were also gathering their killing moves, aiming to kill Lin Mo in one blow, not giving him any chance. In front of East Vanquisher Prince and West Vanquisher Prince, two mountains also appeared. They were extremely heavy. The three of them used the same martial arts technique with a majestic aura. ¡°Heavenly King quaking mountain palm.¡± As the three of them shouted, three mountains came crashing down on Lin Mo. The Duke of the South and the Duke of the North were constantly entangled, making it impossible for Lin Mo to escape. ¡°Hehe ¡­¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then the two of you should take this blow as well.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes glowed with a cold light, and his pitch-black eyes flickered with a murderous intent. He threw out the Daluo divine sword, and the heaven-splitting sword Qi gathered, forcing the two of them to retreat. The next moment, purple divine light appeared under his feet. At the same time, he also used the kun Peng wings on his back. His figure was like a ghost as he appeared in front of the two again. The three mountains followed closely behind and pressed down on him. Heavenly King Wu and the others gritted their teeth and did not stop. They planned to suppress the northern and southern liege lords together. ¡°Junior, you will die today.¡± North vanquishing Prince said angrily. He rushed toward Lin Mo, planning to fight to the death. ¡°Quickly retreat ¡­¡± The Duke of the South was shocked. He saw the Duke of the North Rush out and warned him, but it was too late. Lin Mo gathered his strength with Qilin steps and kicked the North vanquishing Prince away. The terrifying Qilin tattoo exploded, scattering the fighting spirit on his body and reducing his defense by a lot. In the next moment, three mountains came crashing down and then exploded. The power of the fighting spirit was extremely powerful, and it was enough to severely injure a ninth heaven expert if it exploded. ¡°BOOM!¡± After the terrifying explosion, there was a wave of scorching flames. In the smoke and dust of the explosion, a Vermillion Bird appeared. The flames soared into the sky as the Vermilion Bird¡¯s Shadow spread its wings and flew toward the three Heavenly Kings. The disciples of the yuan yang Holy Land were all worried that Heavenly King Wu would not be able to take this attack. The red armor Army at the back was also very nervous as they looked ahead worriedly. Beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu had already been entangled, and the Yan Huang divine dynasty had sent out more than half of their forces. Meng lie, a level nine peak warrior, had blocked Bai Luo and the inferno God Army, making it impossible for her to help Lin Mo. There was also an elder of the Yan Huang divine dynasty, who was also a level nine expert, who stopped beautiful silk. Yuan yang Holy Land also had a ninth heaven expert. Although he was old and weak, his combat strength was not weak. They joined forces with the other elders and barely stopped Luo Haoyu, but they shouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for long. ¡°Look, the Vice Palace Lord is fine.¡± Someone from the red-armored Army shouted, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Following the direction he pointed, everyone saw a figure fly out and stand on the Vermilion Bird Phantom. This person was Lin Mo. He was wearing a broken armor. It was a level nine spiritual grade magic item, but it had been shattered by the terrifying attacks from the three Heavenly Kings. When the attack came, Lin Mo put on his armor and gave up on defense. He chose to charge up the cloud piercing four strikes. The armor on his body suffered the calamity on his behalf and took the terrifying blow. It was directly destroyed and could not be repaired. However, Lin Mo¡¯s method of dealing with it was very effective. North-guarding Prince and South-guarding Prince had been accidentally injured by their own people. Their injuries were not light, and their combat strength had been reduced. At this moment, the martial Heavenly King and the other two were hit by the projection of the Vermilion Bird. ¡°BOOM!¡± Following the terrifying explosion, the three of them were sent flying. Lin Mo chased after them with the Daluo divine sword in hand. He had only one goal from the beginning, and that was Heavenly King Wu. Although the five of them were fighting together, Heavenly King Wu had always been the commander. Lin Mo would feel much better if he was crippled first. ¡°Junior ¡­¡± Heavenly King Wu bellowed as he gathered his battle intent to receive Lin Mo¡¯s Daluo divine sword. The sword radiance bloomed as lightning and flames spread, causing severe injuries to Heavenly King Wu. ¡°Cough ¡­¡± However, Lin Mo had also paid a price for this. The other four people had recovered for a moment and were charging towards him. Although he had severely injured Wu Heavenly King with a single strike, he was also injured by the other four. A terrifying bloody hole appeared on his left shoulder. Fresh blood gushed out. He had been pierced by the Western Garrison liege Lord¡¯s spear. If he did not have the kun Peng wings, which allowed him to avoid being hit in his vital parts at the critical moment, the spear would have pierced through his heart. Although at the Nirvana stage, piercing through the heart would not kill one, one would still be severely injured ¡­ ¡°Haha, let¡¯s continue. Who will fall first ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed as he circulated the spirit devouring technique to absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi to heal his injuries. Chapter 482 - Attacking the Sacred Land Attacking the sacred land The fighting spirit was not his own power. In the end, it was borrowed. It could not be completely used by him, nor could it heal his injuries. Fortunately, he had the God devouring body and could absorb spiritual Qi. With the help of spiritual pills, he could always maintain his peak condition. ¡°Again ¡­¡± Lin Mo bellowed as he charged forward with his longsword, fighting hard against the five people. He killed the Duke of the South with a flash of sword Qi and blocked the attack of the Duke of the North with a backhand. The heaven-splitting sword Qi exploded. Lightning and fire surrounded the battlefield. ¡°You guys have lost ¡­¡± Standing in mid-air, Lin Mo looked forward with a faint smile. The Army behind the five kings of the Yan Huang dynasty had been completely enveloped by the God devouring body domain. Although there were many twists and turns along the way, Lin Mo had still succeeded in spreading the God devouring body. ¡°God devouring body!¡± Heavenly King Wu was shocked. He could feel the battle intent in his body weakening. Some of the soldiers behind him had already fallen. They had exhausted all the spiritual Qi in their bodies and lost their combat power. Naturally, they could not gather their fighting spirit. ¡°Hurry up and attack. This is your last chance.¡± The Western Garrison liege lord roared and rushed to Lin Mo¡¯s side. His eyes were filled with madness. In the next moment, the magic artifact in his hand self-destructed after absorbing the powerful fighting spirit in his body. ¡°And US.¡± The few of them cooperated very well and self-destructed the magic tools in their hands, causing heavy damage to the Army behind them. Lin Mo blocked it with his sword Qi. The spirit Qi absorbed by the God devouring body was his last resort. ¡°Purple spirit guards, retreat!¡± He rushed out and cut off the connection with the Ziling guards. This was an extremely dangerous move. If he blocked it with his fighting spirit, the violet spirit guard would probably be severely injured. This was not good for the future development of the purple Moon Palace, and he would not allow it. ¡°Vice Palace Lord!¡± ¡°Lin Mo,¡± A few exclamations were heard. The people from the purple Moon Palace could feel the terrifying aura in front of Lin Mo. Bai Luo and the others were anxious. They wanted to rescue him, but they were blocked by their opponents and could not escape. ¡°BOOM!¡± Under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, the explosion swept across the area. Heavenly King Wu and the others coughed out blood one after another, suffering extremely serious injuries. As for the five troops at the back, more than half of them vomited blood, and some even fainted. Their battle intent had been overdrawn, and they had even self-destructed, causing them very serious injuries. ¡°What a joke, you¡¯re still thinking of preserving your strength at a time like this.¡± Heavenly King Wu sneered. Mo Lin was at the center of the explosion. The few of them had been seriously injured at the edge, not to mention that Lin Mo had given up on the power of fighting spirit. but we didn¡¯t manage to heavily injure the purple spirit guard. Who¡¯s going to stop them in the following battle? ¡± East vanquishing Prince suddenly said. Because after the shock wave of the explosion weakened, he saw a monstrous fighting spirit in the distance. The violet spirit guards were enraged, their fighting spirit soaring. Their leader was Yang Feng. He stared at the martial Heavenly King and the others behind the explosion with a murderous look. In order to preserve his combat power, Lin Mo chose to face the danger alone. This touched them, but at the same time, their hatred for the Yan Huang dynasty grew. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first and wait for reinforcements.¡± Meng lie left the battlefield. Bai Luo couldn¡¯t stop him. This was the weakness of an Army. They couldn¡¯t keep a true master. Meng lie saw the shockwaves of the explosion still wreaking havoc. He made up his mind. He raised his hand and sent a few more spirit Qi handprints into the explosion. He was worried that Lin Mo was not completely dead yet, so he decided to give him another blow. ¡°Bang! Bang!¡± A series of muffled sounds rang out, and everyone¡¯s pupils shrank. The disciples of the origin sun Holy Land looked forward in disbelief. Just then, Meng lie¡¯s palm print had shattered. Someone had blocked it. There was only one person there, and that was Lin Mo ¡­ ¡°That¡¯s impossible ¡­¡± Someone mumbled. What kind of monster was Lin Mo exactly? he was fine even after such a terrifying self-destruction ¡­ It must be known that the self-destruction of five level nine spirit grade magic weapons and the fighting spirit of five armies. One could only imagine its power. Even the existences standing at the peak of the nine Heavens did not dare to say that they could block it. Why was Lin Mo fine? ¡°This aura ¡­ It¡¯s the ¡°Nirvana of the true Phoenix,¡± so that¡¯s how it is.¡± The aftermath of the explosion weakened, and Bai Luo¡¯s spiritual consciousness could finally penetrate it. He sensed a familiar fluctuation. ¡°A true Phoenix spell?¡± Beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu were shocked. They then recalled that Lin Mo and the others had obtained the incomplete technique of an immemorial divine beast in the ruins. The techniques that could be used directly in battle were ¡± Qilin steps ¡°, ¡± cloud piercing four destruction ¡°, and ¡± kun Peng wings ¡°. Other than that, there was also the ¡± Nirvana of the true Phoenix ¡°. This was a spell technique used to assist in cultivation. How could it still be defended here? the rebirth of a true Phoenix is a process of rebirth and can not be disturbed by anyone. However, an existence at that level is full of treasures. How can it not be coveted by others? ¡± Bai Luo smiled and explained to everyone, ¡± the Nirvana of a true Phoenix is the least threatening period for a true Phoenix. Hence, they have ways to deal with it. that¡¯s how the Nirvana of the true Phoenix technique was born. As long as there¡¯s enough energy, once it¡¯s used, it can withstand attacks that are several levels higher than itself. Its defense is extremely strong. After hearing his words, some of the people finally understood. Lin Mo had devoured more than half of the spirit Qi of the five armies. There was also a huge amount of spirit Qi in the world. He had sufficient conditions to cast the ¡± Nirvana of true phoenixes ¡± and use the enemy¡¯s power to resist the attack ¡­ this is the fourth incomplete immemorial divine beast technique that he has displayed. Where did this kid come from ¡­ Meng lie was shocked. It was hard to find a Sky Class martial art like this in the eastern land. It was impossible to find it even in the forbidden area, because it was too precious. However, there were four such spell techniques in the purple Moon Palace, which was enough to drive anyone crazy. ¡°Ruthless!¡± A cry was heard and the aftermath of the explosion dissipated. The shadow of a real phoenix appeared and below it, there was a red real phoenix egg. The next moment, the eggshell shattered, and Lin Mo flew out. His body was crystal clear, as if he had been reborn. The light of the Spirit Qi dissipated, and Lin Mo put on his battle robe again. He was in high spirits as he returned to the front of the purple spirit guards. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disappoint you,¡± Lin Mo chuckled as he regained control of the purple spirit Guard¡¯s fighting spirit. ¡°Fight!¡± The Army at the back shouted, and the flame God Army¡¯s momentum also rose. Bai Luo¡¯s fighting spirit rose again. Now that the five local armies had lost their combat power and the five Heavenly Kings were half-crippled, who could stop him? ¡°Those who resist will be killed without mercy.¡± Lin Mo pointed his Daluo divine sword forward and forced Yuan yang Holy Land to surrender. That way, they could still have a chance of survival. The response he got was a defensive formation. Meng lie and the others entered the sacred land and prepared to defend. ¡°Ignite your battle intent and kill with me.¡± Lin Mo ordered. ¡°Kill!¡± The soldiers shouted and followed Lin Mo¡¯s charge. Their fighting spirit erupted, and everyone attacked together. The newly-established formation only lasted for a dozen seconds before it shattered. Then, Bai Luo led the inferno God Army to find Meng lie and attack him. This time, she didn¡¯t have to rush to end the battle. She could play with her opponent. Chapter 483 - Black Demon Army Black demon Army ¡°Where do you guys want to go?¡± Lin Mo returned the purple spirit guards to Yang Feng and ordered them to clean up the disciples of the yuan yang Holy Land who were still resisting. As for himself, he went to look for Heavenly King Wu and the others who were trying to escape. ¡°Lin Mo!¡± Heavenly King Wu shrieked and took out a spatial talisman. Just as he was about to use it, Lin Mo destroyed it with one strike. eh? I didn¡¯t notice it before, but you¡¯ve actually transcended the heavenly Tribulation ¡­ Lin Mo was a little surprised. Heavenly King Wu¡¯s talent was indeed impressive. He was now at the peak of level eight and had even passed the heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps if he was given another one or two years, he would be able to rely on his own accumulation and successfully advance to the ninth heaven. With that, the Yan Huang God dynasty would have one more expert. ¡°I heard that you were the one who crippled youngest aunt¡¯s dantian back then ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression turned cold and unfriendly. ¡°You mean damask? wait ¡­ Spare me, I¡¯m just following orders.¡± Heavenly King Wu was shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s expression made him very uneasy. ¡°Uh ¡­ Ah!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a miserable scream, causing many people to look over. They were both shocked and palpitated. Lin Mo¡¯s method was truly ruthless. His sword had pierced the edge of Heavenly King Wu¡¯s dantian. Although it was not crippled, it was almost as good as being crippled. As his natural source began to flow away, Wu Heavenly King became weaker and weaker. His eyes were bloodshot and he was furious. ¡°Junior, you actually dare ¡­¡± He was very unwilling to give up. He had almost touched the threshold of the nine Heavens, but Lin Mo¡¯s sword had destroyed his hope. He wouldn¡¯t be completely crippled, but it would be no different from being crippled. His strength would continue to decline until he became an ordinary person, and he would have no chance to cultivate in this life. Unless there was a rare treasure, a treasure that was even more valuable than the dark green jade ¡­ The Yan Huang dynasty would not help him search for it. Even if they found it, they would not let him use it ¡­ ¡°Wasn¡¯t this your method back then? now that I¡¯m returning it to you, you can¡¯t take it?¡± Lin Mo sneered. Back then, if not for the ten-thousand-year earth milk and the nine neonate inner core, the beautiful silk would have been completely crippled. He had always remembered this grudge. ¡°Guys, do you want to do it yourself or do you want me to do it?¡± After dealing with the martial Heavenly King, Lin Mo looked at the others. It was obvious that they wanted to be like Heavenly King Wu. Their dantian would be damaged and they would slowly become useless ¡­ ¡°Little friend, you¡¯ve gone. little too far. Please stop ¡­¡± Suddenly, two terrifying auras came from outside Yuan yang Holy Land. Two old men had appeared out of nowhere. The elders of the yuan yang Holy Land were overjoyed and ran in that direction. ¡°Grand Elder, Grand Emperor, please save us.¡± The sudden appearance of the two people gave them hope, and they thought that they were saved. After all, these were the Grand Elder of the Yan Huang divine dynasty, Jiang Long, and the Grand Emperor, Jiang Feng, who were both level nine experts. Especially Jiang Feng, who had been in the ninth heaven for a long time and had even transcended the heavenly Tribulation not long ago. His battle prowess was formidable. ¡°Enough is enough. It¡¯s easy to say. You didn¡¯t stop before.¡± Lin Mo said in disdain. Back then, the Yan Huang divine dynasty had tried to kill him. If he did not have so many trump cards, there would not be the purple Moon Palace. you can save him, but you have to defeat me. You two can come at me together. Lin Mo waved his hand, and the purple spirit guards gathered behind him, their fighting spirit gathering. Seeing this, Jiang Feng and Jiang Long were also shocked. Looking at Lin Mo, they could sense danger. we were wrong back then, but the Yan Huang divine dynasty is Jiang xiyue¡¯s home. She is the eighth Princess of the Yan Huang divine dynasty. This is an unchangeable fact. Jiang Feng shook his head and said. although she has established the Ziyue Palace, her past can not be avoided. Now that you are leading an Army to attack the Yan Huang divine dynasty, how will the world view Jiang xiyue? ¡± He spoke with conviction, and many people even felt that he was reasonable. No matter how they denied it, Jiang xiyue¡¯s background would never change. what a joke. Have you ever treated xiyue like a princess? ¡± Lin Mo looked at the two of them with disdain and said coldly, ¡± ¡°Since she¡¯s a Princess, you¡¯ve allowed her to compete for the throne. Why do you want to suppress her?¡± while she was attending the forum conference you set up, you asked Heavenly King Wu and the others to pretend to be assassins to assassinate her Ziyue Palace, seriously injure her henchmen, and destroy her aunt¡¯s dantian. ¡°Today, I¡¯m just returning the favor, but you all say that I¡¯ve gone too far. How laughable.¡± This was not the end. Lin Mo continued to speak, telling him about how the Yan Huang divine dynasty wanted to kill Jiang xiyue. As soon as he said that, the world was in an uproar. Outside the sacred land of Yuan yang, some spies from various forces sent messages. Jade slips were crushed one after another, and the information spread. The truth of what had happened back then came to light. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? do you feel like you¡¯re in the wrong?¡± Lin Mo mocked. As the words spread, the eyes of the purple spirit guards, flame God Army, and red armor Army all turned red. They didn¡¯t know about these things. They only knew that the palace Master who had raised them had drawn a clear line with the Yan Huang dynasty and had even declared war. As soldiers, they could only obey, no matter why Jiang xiyue had left. But now that he knew, his eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, there¡¯s no point in saying more. We¡¯re willing to fight to the death to seek justice for the palace Lord.¡± A soldier shouted. More and more Warriors were shouting to kill, wanting to destroy the Yan Huang dynasty. ¡°Destroy the Yan Huang dynasty with just 5000 soldiers?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s expression also turned cold. As the retired emperor, when had he ever lowered his voice like this? He flew up and waved his hand behind him. The space there wriggled and a crack that was ten thousand feet wide appeared. Warriors in black armor walked out of the crack. By rough calculation, this was an Army of 100000 people. Their fighting spirit soared into the sky as they got into battle formation. A terrifying fighting spirit spread out. In terms of fighting spirit, this Army was much stronger than the violet spirit guards. They could crush them easily. However, the level of the enemy¡¯s battle formation was obviously not high enough. Lin Mo deduced that it should be at Level 5 or Level 6 of the spirit realm. However, this was still very terrifying. Once the battle intent was added to Jiang Feng, he would become an invincible heavenly Army. this is the royal family¡¯s Black demon Army. Everyone¡¯s strength is at Dragon Realm level 30 and above. ¡°The black demon Army has been passed down for hundreds of years. There were people who were dissatisfied with the Royal ban and rose up to resist, but they were all suppressed by this Army in the end.¡± Beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu came to Lin Mo¡¯s side. They had already dealt with their opponents. However, just as he was about to kill them, Jiang Feng and the others arrived and disrupted the situation. since you want to fight, I don¡¯t mind fighting you myself. At the forefront of the black demon Army, there was a man in golden armor who seemed out of place. However, he was the place where the fighting spirit of this Army gathered. Many people were shocked that the Emperor of the Yan Huang dynasty had personally led the Army ¡­ ¡°If you want to fight, then come ¡­¡± Lin Mo wasn¡¯t afraid, and so was the purple spirit guards, even when they were facing the legendary Black demon Army. ¡°Stop.¡± Under the tense situation, Jiang Feng hurriedly called out to stop them, looking ahead with some fear. Chapter 484 - Reinforcements From Both Sides Reinforcements from both sides ¡°Xiyue, since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t you show yourself?¡± Lin Mo and the others were a little surprised when they heard this. He and Bai Luo looked at each other and shook their heads. Then, the two of them looked at Luo Haoyu and damask, only to find that the two of them were frowning as well and did not sense any aura. senior Tian Sha, I remember that you said that you would not join any forces. What is the reason for today? ¡± Jiang Feng spoke again, shocking everyone. Tiansha, who had been in seclusion for many years, had appeared quite frequently recently. Moreover, why had she come with the purple Moon Palace Master? ¡°I¡¯ve been entrusted by others, and I¡¯m loyal to them!¡± A spatial fluctuation spread out, and the space beside Lin Mo cracked open. Jiang xiyue¡¯s graceful figure walked out. She liked the purple dress and stunned everyone the moment she appeared. However, the next moment, the sound of hearts breaking could be heard. This was because, while countless young men were in love with the goddess, the goddess in their eyes had jumped into Lin Mo¡¯s arms like a swallow. ¡°I¡¯m not too late, am I?¡± Jiang xiyue¡¯s laughter rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. Lin Mo was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses and looked at the beautiful figure in his arms. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would leave it to me? why have you come personally ¡­¡± He was somewhat dissatisfied. Although he was in a difficult situation now, he still had countless treasures on him. These treasures were all trump cards. When they self-detonated, their power was extraordinary. Even if they had a luxurious lineup, they would not be able to block it. Moreover, he had the God devouring body, which was extremely effective against the Army. I just suddenly feel that it¡¯s a little inappropriate to let you be at the front line alone to avoid gossip. I want to accompany you ¡­ Jiang xiyue chuckled and blushed slightly. Her red lips pressed lightly against Lin Mo¡¯s face but quickly moved away. ¡°Greetings, Palace Master.¡± The Army at the back knelt down and only greeted Jiang xiyue when they saw her get up from Lin Mo¡¯s arms. ¡°All of you, stand up. A great battle is imminent, so there¡¯s no need to be so polite.¡± Jiang xiyue waved her hand, looking like a Valkyrie. ¡°Xiyue, do you really want to fight?¡± In the distance, the Emperor of the Yan Huang divine dynasty looked at Jiang xiyue with an ugly expression. The advantage had finally appeared, but Jiang xiyue had come with tiansha. This person was not to be trifled with. If they were not careful, the Yan Huang divine dynasty would probably be destroyed. ¡°Father, weren¡¯t you the one who forced me into this?¡± I¡¯ve thought it through, ¡± Jiang xiyue said indifferently. you¡¯ve never treated me as family. Why should I care about this relationship? ¡± this is the last time I¡¯m calling you father. When you gave the order to eliminate me, we were no longer father and daughter. ¡°Today, either the purple Moon Palace will be destroyed, or the Yan Huang divine dynasty will be destroyed.¡± With that, Jiang xiyue waved her hand, and the soldiers in the rear responded with a strong will to fight. hehe, let¡¯s fight. I also want to stretch my muscles and bones. Tian Sha said with a smile. Seeing that Tian Sha was about to make a move, Jiang Feng and Jiang Long¡¯s expressions changed and they stood up. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Tian Sha and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he looked into the distance and said, ¡± ¡°I agree to your conditions.¡± Lin Mo was once again shocked. How many people had come for this expedition? Jiang Feng and the rest were related to tiansha. But who was the next person? ¡°Who else could it be? the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, a dirty body with a dirty soul, it¡¯s an evil method.¡± Tian Sha said coldly. ¡°Ji Ji ¡­¡± A series of terrifying sounds could be heard. It sounded like laughter, yet it also sounded like cries. It was very strange. On the other side of the battlefield, the light gradually dimmed. A black shadow appeared, exuding a strange aura. ¡°Devouring souls and flesh to cultivate, this is an evil technique.¡± Bai Luo saw the clues and said with some disgust. Although the law of the jungle was the norm in the world of cultivation, killing someone who had no grudges with you was somewhat despicable. ¡°Hehe, you all think that you are all high and mighty, but don¡¯t you also kill people like flies ¡­¡± ¡°This world is one where the strong preys on the weak. I¡¯m just going to make it more thorough ¡­¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was disdainful. He thought that Bai Luo and Tian Sha were just pretending to be sanctimonious, but he was teaching them a lesson instead. ¡°Cut the crap. If you want to interfere, let¡¯s exchange a few moves.¡± Tian Sha said impatiently. This surprised Lin Mo. Heaven demon seemed to want the battle to start, and the more intense the better. ¡°I took the liberty to give her the¡± true Phoenix Nirvana technique,¡±you won¡¯t blame me, right?¡± Jiang xiyue whispered into Lin Mo¡¯s ear. She blinked her big, beautiful eyes and lowered her head guiltily. She was really waiting for Lin Mo to scold her. ¡°You¡¯re the palace Master. If I blame you, the violet spirit guards will probably come for me.¡± Lin Mo said jokingly. ¡°The¡± Nirvana of real phoenix ¡°will make her owe a favor so that she can live in the purple Moon Palace and help out at the same time.¡± senior and I have discussed. If she only acts as a deterrent, we will take ten percent of the spirit stones from this expedition. If she takes action, we will take thirty percent. Jiang xiyue told him about what she and tiansha had agreed on, and everything made sense. Fortunately, Jiang xiyue had come with Tian Sha. The Yan Huang divine dynasty had also invited the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master. This person had strange methods, and there were very few people who could deal with him. ¡°Bai Luo, you lead the flame God Army to deal with Meng lie.¡± ¡°Elder Luo, you lead the red armored Army to stall Jiang Feng.¡± ¡°Aunty, Jiang Long is free from your hold.¡± Jiang xiyue gave her orders in an orderly manner and assigned her opponents. As for the black demon Army, she naturally led the purple spirit guards to fight them. ¡°Remember, no matter who leaves your battlefield, attack the black demon Army at the first moment.¡± As soon as this order was given, Jiang Feng¡¯s face darkened. The black demon Army was the foundation of the Yan Huang divine dynasty, and they could not afford to lose it unless it was absolutely necessary. However, they were too large a target. They couldn¡¯t avoid the attacks at all, and their fighting spirit would be disturbed. ¡°Lin Mo, activate your God-devouring domain and destroy the black demon Army.¡± After giving out the last order, Jiang xiyue took over the purple spirit guards and attacked the black demon Army. Although the person leading the Army was her father, she would not hold back. wait a minute, xiyue. Are you really going to fight to the death with us? ¡± The Emperor, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke. Looking at his daughter in front of him, he was filled with regret. He had supported the wrong person, and everything was irreversible. you have the incomplete techniques of the ancient divine beasts, and there are four of them. You also have a battle formation of the spiritual level rank nine. The other divine dynasties and Divine Secrets Holy Land are all eyeing you covetously. they can¡¯t wait for us to fight a bloody battle. It would be best if the black demon Army and the purple spirit guards were both heavily injured. Only then would they have a chance to take advantage of us. The Emperor analyzed the situation in an attempt to shake Jiang xiyue and make her retreat. you¡¯re so annoying. If you want to fight, then hurry up. If you don¡¯t want to fight, then surrender. Why are you talking so much? ¡± In the distance, Tian Sha had long lost his patience. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to fight. We can discuss the compensation in detail.¡± Jiang xiyue smiled. She couldn¡¯t bear to see the Ziling guards suffer, but was her father really willing to withdraw? if the purple Moon Palace is to the East and the 300000-mile territory is mine, I¡¯ll agree to shake hands and make peace. There was a smile in her eyes. If the other party showed weakness, she would have the upper hand in the following negotiations ¡­ Chapter 485 - Triumphant Return Triumphant return ¡°Are you joking?¡± The Emperor was furious. He wanted to negotiate, but Jiang xiyue¡¯s conditions were too much. ¡°We can sit down and have a good discussion.¡± Jiang xiyue laughed. Lin Mo didn¡¯t stop her. It was good for them to resolve this peacefully. &Nbsp; in the distance, the experts and Scouts from various factions who had rushed over after hearing the news were all rather disappointed. An earth-shattering battle had ended just like that, and this made them feel helpless. The news spread out, and they told him everything that happened here. Soon, the battlefield quieted down, and Lin Mo and Jiang xiyue arrived at the center of the battlefield. On the other side was the current Emperor of the Yan Huang divine dynasty. He came forward alone to negotiate, and the three of them were communicating telepathically. Many people were curious, and those who were watching from afar were even more curious, but they didn¡¯t dare to eavesdrop. The negotiation lasted for more than ten minutes. In the end, Lin Mo and Jiang xiyue smiled. The battle was finally over. the territory starting from Yuan yang Holy Land to Purple Moon Palace is owned by Purple Moon Palace. I¡¯ll also give you the resources I promised you as soon as possible. ¡°Also, please return the two troops you captured earlier.¡± The Emperor said with a cold face. The daughter of the past had now become an enemy. He was very regretful, but there was nothing he could do. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When the time comes, you can just bring compensation and ask for him.¡± Jiang xiyue chuckled. The battle was over. She didn¡¯t get what she wanted in the last battle, but she got what she wanted. Jiang xiyue didn¡¯t say anything else. She exchanged a glance with Lin Mo and flew back together. ¡°Withdraw the Army.¡± When he arrived at the Army, a faint voice spread out. Luo Haoyu and damask began to mobilize their troops, and the three armies retreated in an orderly manner. This scene was extremely spectacular. Looking at the retreating Purple Moon Palace Army, the Yan Huang dynasty¡¯s upper echelons were livid. They wanted to roar, but in the end, all of it turned into bitterness. All of this seemed to have been brewed by themselves ¡­ If the Crown Prince hadn¡¯t been crowned as the Emperor, they wouldn¡¯t have attacked Jiang xiyue and wouldn¡¯t have been in such a sorry state. let¡¯s retreat. The losses this time are too great. The Yan Huang dynasty needs to rest ¡­ Jiang Feng sighed and said helplessly. The rest of the people also sighed. The Yan Huang divine dynasty had suffered heavy losses in this battle and needed to recuperate. ¡­ The purple Moon Palace¡¯s expedition had finally ended. From the start of the expedition to the triumphant return, it had taken a full two months. In the end, the purple Moon Palace won. The details of the battle spread throughout the entire Eastern continent, and all the forces were shocked. To a certain extent, this was the first punch that the purple Moon Palace launched in the eastern land. They were declaring their sovereignty and telling the forces in the eastern continent that the sixth peak power had been born. They had used their fists to prove their strength, and no one dared to refute. The only regrettable thing was that the final battle was settled through negotiations and did not continue. However, the other top forces were not surprised by this result. Jiang xiyue¡¯s ability to train three large armies in secret was enough to prove her political tactics. She wouldn¡¯t really fight to the death with the Yan Huang dynasty, at least as long as the upper echelons of her family didn¡¯t die, she wouldn¡¯t die with the Yan Huang dynasty. Moreover, her bloodline and origin restricted her. Even though he wasn¡¯t surprised by the result, the process was still worth paying attention to. Many people were surprised because the Yan Huang divine dynasty had actually invited the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, an evil cultivator. This was a ruthless move. If the purple Moon Palace had not invited tiansha, the battle might have really started. Even though the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was an evil cultivator, his strength was not to be underestimated. He alone was enough to deal with Lin Mo and the purple spirit guards. The black demon Army, which had lost their opponent, would crush all the people of the purple Moon Palace ¡­ However, the real situation was that the Yan Huang dynasty would compensate spirit stones and end the war. The purple Moon Palace had obtained at least 20 billion spiritual stones from the expedition this time, which was not a small income. Returning triumphantly, the journey back was filled with cheers and laughter. ¡°I only wanted that little territory, but I didn¡¯t expect them to be willing to give me spirit stones.¡± In the main hall of the purple Moon Palace, the celebratory feast had already been set up, and even Tian Sha had been given a seat. However, she was still a little dissatisfied, because she couldn¡¯t make a move, and only played a deterrent role. senior Tian Sha, I have already ordered people to check the spoils of war. Including the gains from the other areas, the purple Moon Palace has obtained 35 billion medium spiritual stones this time. We will keep some treasures and spiritual herbs for consumption. according to the agreement, you will receive 3.5 billion medium spiritual stones. When the banquet is over, someone will send them to you. Jiang xiyue raised her glass and told him all the resources she had obtained from the battle. Not only that, the extra territory would give him billions of spirit stones each year. It was a free income. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Tian Sha raised his cup and nodded in satisfaction when he heard that it was 1.5 billion medium spiritual stones. This amount was much more than she had imagined. No wonder the Yan Huang dynasty would rather fight to the death than give up an inch of their territory. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she really didn¡¯t know how to manage things, she really wanted to establish a force ¡­ Lin Mo had a lot of free time in the following days. He picked out some treasures to be auctioned off. Lin Mo did not need to participate in any of this and left it all to Huixiang and Duanmu Jia. The two of them were natural Auctioneers and could manage the moon Pavilion well. As for the expansion of the territory and the information from the various forces, Jiang xiyue was in charge of it. He didn¡¯t need to do it. In addition, in the subsequent days of his life, there were more and more visitors to the purple Moon Palace, all of whom were famous forces in the eastern continent. The gossip that didn¡¯t favor the purple Moon Palace in the past had also disappeared. Even the Yan Huang God dynasty had quieted down and there had been no movement recently. In the purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo sat cross-legged in a small courtyard. Lightning and fire surrounded his body. These were two extremely violent forces, but they appeared extremely peaceful in his hands at this moment, without any conflict. This was also Lin Mo¡¯s understanding of the two attributes. At this moment, Lin Mo was still dissatisfied with his own strength and wanted to improve. However, he didn¡¯t directly consume spiritual stones to improve. That was the worst plan. As his cultivation level increased, he realized that the comprehension of laws was of utmost importance. When one¡¯s comprehension reached a certain level, the advancement of one¡¯s realm would also be accelerated. At that time, there would be no such thing as an unstable foundation. ¡°Swish!¡± The sound of wind breaking could be heard coming from Lin Mo¡¯s direction. He raised his head and saw a pretty lady flying over with a scroll in her hand. ¡°Bai Luo, why are you free to come here?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He had been cultivating in the small courtyard for half a month, and no one had disturbed him. Now, Bai Luo had come. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, I¡¯ve come to report to you.¡± Bai Luo rolled his eyes at Lin Mo and teased him. ¡°Don¡¯t ¡­ I can¡¯t afford that.¡± Chapter 486 - Saint Saint-burning valley Lin Mo quickly stood up and asked when he noticed the scroll in her hand. ¡°What is this?¡± He took it from Bai Luo and realized that it was an invitation from an unfamiliar force, Saint burning valley. ¡°You¡¯re inviting me to participate in the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice? what do you mean?¡± He did not understand. He did not know much about the forces in the eastern continent. This was the first time he had heard of the Holy Burn Valley. Saint burning valley used to be second only to the divine Secrets Holy Land in strength among the top forces in the eastern continent. however, for the past few thousand years, the inheritors have been getting worse and worse, and they have fallen out of the ranks of the top forces. Bai Luo took out another scroll, which contained some information about Saint burning valley. This was an ancient faction with a long history. It was on par with the divine Secrets Holy Land, and they both had inheritances from the ancient era. That was an era with immortal-foundation experts. It was a pity that the shackles had appeared and the heavenly Tribulation had been blocked. The number of cultivators in the eastern continent had gradually declined. Now, the ninth heaven was the top. every hundred years, Saint burning valley invites fire-attributed cultivators to attend the Holy Fire worship, hoping to awaken their Holy Fire. Bai Luo was very interested, but he only invited beautiful silk and Lin Mo ¡­ ¡°What is holy flame?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡®I¡¯m not doing my job well as the Vice Palace Master. I don¡¯t even know the power structure of the eastern continent ¡­¡¯ the Holy Fire of the Saint burning valley is a natural flame, similar to the blood soul Flame that appeared last time. The door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and beautiful silk walked in, wearing a light green dress. Her long hair was loose, and it fluttered in the wind. this kind of flame is very precious and powerful. It¡¯s hard to tame. In the entire eastern land, only the Holy Fire Valley has the inheritance of the Holy Fire. She was also holding an invitation in her hand. As a Nirvana stage cultivator, she had naturally received an invitation. get ready, we¡¯ll set off as soon as possible. Saint burning valley is a good place with many ruins. Maybe we can find something. Damask chuckled. ¡°Must I participate?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. Just because the other party had a flame that was born from the heavens and earth, he had to participate? cultivating in front of the sacred flame can speed up one¡¯s cultivation and also allow one to comprehend the laws. It¡¯s a great opportunity that can¡¯t be missed. in addition, Saint burning valley also said that if you are extremely talented, there is a chance that you will be chosen by the Holy Fire and receive the inheritance. You can take the inheritance with you. This was what made countless people drool, because it was an inheritance from the ancient times, and there were all kinds of profound martial arts techniques. ¡°What if I take the Holy flame away?¡± Lin Mo suddenly said. It was always better to be safe than sorry. When he went, the system space would really take the Holy flame away. He would not be polite. ¡°That Saint fire is the core of the valley, it can¡¯t be taken away, even if an immortal-Foundation expert were to act.¡± Damask shook her head. Furthermore, the Saint burning valley had been passed down since ancient times. They had great treasures in their hands, but no one coveted them, which was enough to prove their power. Not to mention anything else, just the Grand protective formation alone was said to be able to kill immortal-foundation experts once it was activated ¡­ These were all legends, but no one dared to risk their lives to try. go and bring back a sacred fire spirit stone. Xiao die is about to come out of seclusion, and the sacred fire spirit stone will be very effective for her. Bai Luo advised. This was the real reason why she came. She wanted Lin Mo to help Xiao die find the materials for her breakthrough. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. When he heard that Xiao die needed it, Lin Mo did not hesitate and agreed. I¡¯ve suppressed Xiao die¡¯s power with a special rune, but it can still last for half a year. Come back with the sacred fire spirit stone as soon as possible. Bai Luo waved his hand and sent the two of them off. In the distance, Jiang xiyue flew over in a hurry. When she saw Lin Mojiang stepping into the teleportation array, she waved goodbye. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just wait for my good news.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. Jiang xiyue watched Lin Mo leave without saying a word. The two of them looked at each other, and everything was clear without a word. The teleportation formation was activated, and Lin Mo and beautiful silk entered it. With a spatial fluctuation, they disappeared. Jiang xiyue left as she watched the fluctuations disappear. She had been very busy recently and had a lot of things to deal with. miss Bai Luo, the sacred fire spirit stone you mentioned is a rank 8 Earth Class treasure, right? would the Holy Burn Valley be willing to give it to you? ¡± Behind Bai Luo, the space squirmed, and Luo Haoyu¡¯s figure appeared. He did not believe the other party¡¯s sincerity. Bai Luo nodded and did not mind. I don¡¯t think so. It can be passed down from the ancient times. It¡¯s not so pedantic. they are still counting on the cultivators in the world to help them awaken the sacred flame. They can¡¯t ruin their reputation for a Supreme treasure. What she was worried about now was if Lin Mo really awakened the Holy flame and could still take it away. That would be terrible, the people of Saint burning valley would not agree. I hope so. You go and cultivate first. Leave the matter of taking care of die to me. Luo Haoyu nodded in disbelief, but that was all he could do for now. Since Saint burning valley was a little far away, Lin Mo and beautiful silk used the teleportation formation to cross the endless Mountains and head toward Saint burning valley on the map. But even so, it still took them a month to travel. Finally, they stopped in the southernmost mountain range of the eastern continent. this is the last mountain range at the border of the eastern land, and Saint-Burn Valley is in it. Said damask. This was what the map showed. ¡°The border of the eastern continent ¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the end of his line of sight curiously. There was a void there, like an abyss. the eastern land is protected by a powerful spatial barrier. The outside world is the extremely powerful void turbulence. ¡°If one hasn¡¯t reached the immortal-Foundation realm, it¡¯s impossible for them to travel through the chaotic currents of the void.¡± Damask said from the side. This was recorded in some ancient books. The eastern continent was boundless. In fact, this was also her first time seeing the border. perhaps, it¡¯s this barrier that¡¯s restricting the eastern continent, becoming a shackle that blocks the heavenly Tribulation ¡­ She muttered. Fortunately, the heavenly Tribulation had reappeared. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the barrier at the border. The Dao laws in his body were showing signs of disorder, and his spiritual energy was unstable. He could sense an unprecedented aura on that barrier. However, this feeling was very familiar. He recalled the items in his mind. In the end, a scroll that was emitting a mysterious light appeared in his mind. A white scroll lay quietly in the system space, and its information appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The incomplete Scriptures of the immortal Dao recorded the secrets of the immortal Ascension platform. This was a treasure he had obtained a long time ago, and it involved the secrets of immortal Foundation. He didn¡¯t dare to take it out to auction. Now that he thought about it, it might be time to sell it. He could only hope that the system¡¯s return-interest would allow him to obtain a complete scroll ¡­ ¡°The aura of the immortal scroll and the barrier are the same. What¡¯s their connection?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. It was a strange feeling. It was as if he had really felt it before. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering rang in his mind. The next moment, an anomaly appeared in this world. Chapter 487 - Illusion Of a Natural Disaster Illusion of a natural disaster He looked up and saw a huge crack in the sky. It was ferocious and terrifying. The endless void turbulence wreaked havoc and descended through the rift. The world changed drastically. The heavenly Tribulation appeared without any warning, bombarding the eastern continent without restraint. The crack grew bigger and bigger. In the end, the barrier of the entire Eastern continent shattered and was surrounded by the void turbulence. The wind howled, lightning flashed, Thunder rumbled, and flames soared into the sky. All kinds of natural disasters and phenomena appeared. The entire Eastern continent fell into a state of panic, as if it was the end of the world ¡­ ¡°Lin Mo?¡± In his daze, Lin Mo felt someone patting his shoulder, and anxious calls rang in his ears. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes and felt his head swelling. The scene of the disaster just now was still fresh in his mind, making his heart palpitate. the barrier is broken. The heavenly Tribulation is coming ¡­ is that the true catastrophe of the eastern continent? the so-called Heavenly Tribulation is only a precursor ¡­ His body trembled, and he could not stand steadily. Damask helped him up. ¡°Lin Mo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Mo! damask called out anxiously. Just now, she noticed that Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, which were fixed on the barrier, had closed, and his body was trembling. The aura in his body was in chaos, as if he had gone mad. This scared her. She wanted to help Lin Mo, but the spiritual energy she injected into his body was like a rock in the ocean. The God Devourer body did not allow any spirit Qi to enter, and any that entered would be devoured. In her anxiety, she could only call out to Lin Mo over and over again to wake him up. Fortunately, this state did not last long. Lin Mo woke up and fell to the ground. ¡°Little aunt ¡­ I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief and looked at the barrier in the distance with lingering fear. He seemed to have seen what was about to happen, or it could just be an illusion ¡­ It seemed like she had to find a chance to ask Bai Luo. She must be hiding something. the people from Saint burning valley are almost here. They¡¯ll take us into the valley. Damask heaved a sigh of relief. She was a little worried about Lin Mo¡¯s condition. If they had not arrived at their destination, she would have brought Lin Mo back. Not long after, the people of Saint burning valley arrived. Seeing that they were from the purple Moon Palace, who had recently risen to fame, they did not dare to be negligent and respectfully invited the two in. Lin Mo felt as if he had entered another world after passing through the layers of spatial barriers. this is a small world. Saint burning Valley¡¯s power can¡¯t be underestimated. Damask praised. The concentration of spiritual Qi here was more than ten times that of the outside world, and there were faint signs of mist. Even without the help of spirit stones, one could still improve rapidly if they cultivated here. I¡¯m flattered. Compared to the purple Moon Palace, Saint burning valley is nothing. The elder who was leading the way smiled and said humbly. Under the guidance of this elder, they entered a garden. There were some decorative attractions inside, all of which were spiritual herbs. Dense spiritual energy filled the air, giving people a very comfortable feeling. There were many pavilions in the garden, and some people had already taken their seats. There were many people who had come, more than a hundred people. Lin Mo and beautiful silk found a remote corner to sit down and looked around. He realized that those who were invited were all top experts. Even the weakest one was at the 7th Sky of Nirvana realm. Although these people were at Level Seven, they gave Lin Mo a strong sense of pressure. It was clear that they were powerful. When Lin Mo and Mu Feng sat down, many people sized them up and fixed their eyes on them. There, he saw a few familiar figures. Two of them were hostile to him. that Meng Tian has broken through to the 6th heaven, he is very talented ¡­ Said damask. Meng lie and Meng tianxiu had the fire element. Although they were not the only ones, they knew a little. Therefore, they were invited to participate. They sat in the central area and clinked glasses with some people. The old man xuanyao was there as well. He was one of the people who had been invited. In addition to his identity as an Alchemist, many people surrounded him and invited him to drink. However, elder Xuan Yao was obviously not the core of the group. There was a young girl standing there, and she attracted half the attention of the people in the garden. This young lady was wearing a fiery red tight-fitting long dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her exquisite body was wrapped in the long dress, outlining her full curves, making people¡¯s blood boil. that¡¯s the daughter of the valley master of Saint Burn Valley. It¡¯s said that when she spoke, it caused the sacred fire to move. When the news spread, the entire Eastern continent was shocked by her talent. Beautiful silk noticed Lin Mo¡¯s gaze and explained with a smile. Then, she looked at Lin Mo with a faint smile and said, ¡± ¡°What, are you moved?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s head throbbed when he heard this. He laughed dryly and said, ¡± ¡°Aunty, don¡¯t make fun of me ¡­¡± Why did he feel that little aunt¡¯s personality was a little out of place? he couldn¡¯t keep up ¡­ oh my, it¡¯s xiyue¡¯s fortune to have met you. She¡¯s not even moved by you. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll keep it a secret. Beautiful silk teased. In response, Lin Mo rolled his eyes and closed his eyes to rest, not planning to speak. However, while he wanted peace and quiet, someone else didn¡¯t. Some of the experts noticed them. When they saw the beautiful silk, they cast sidelong glances and were somewhat stunned. this must be the second elder of the purple Moon Palace, beautiful silk. She¡¯s only 40 years old, but she¡¯s already at the ninth heaven. She¡¯s not simple ¡­ A man looked at damask and praised her. He then turned his gaze to Lin Mo. but, doesn¡¯t the Saint burning valley only allow those at the seventh sky of Nirvana realm to come? why is a kid still wet behind his ears here? ¡± His voice was not loud, but it attracted the attention of most of the people in the garden. When these people saw Lin Mo, their eyes were filled with curiosity. Although Lin Mo had led an Army to attack the Yan Huang divine dynasty some time ago and was able to force the other party to negotiate in the end ¡­ One could imagine Lin Mo¡¯s strength. However, there were also rumors that Lin Mo was only able to fight because of the purple spirit guards of the purple Moon Palace. Without the Army, he was just a level six junior, nothing. As opinions varied, all sorts of topics related to Lin Mo appeared in the eastern continent. When Lin Mo had gone into seclusion, he had not bothered to pay attention to these words. This led to many people thinking that Lin Mo¡¯s strength was due to the purple spirit guards. elder damask, the invitation clearly stated the requirements. Why did you still bring someone along? this is breaking the rules. The man was insatiable. When he saw that Lin Mo was ignoring him, the smugness on his face intensified. He walked forward and cupped his fists at beautiful silk with a faint smile. ¡°I am Mo Yan, the sect master of the fire cloud sect. Elder damask, can you answer my earlier question?¡± The fire cloud clan was a first-class force in the eastern land. There were many strong men under their command. They had five level eight strong men in charge of the sect. However, this kind of strength was not enough in front of the purple Moon Palace. Lin Mo opened his eyes and was a little speechless. This person could become a sect master. Why was he so stupid to be the first bird to step out ¡­ He and damask looked at each other, not even looking at this person. A mere fire cloud clan was nothing in their eyes ¡­ Chapter 488 - Tang Ling Tang Ling ¡°Haha, Mo Yan, it seems like he¡¯s looking down on you.¡± The people around them started to make a fuss, not afraid of the matter blowing up. Some people even spoke in secret, spreading it out with their spirit Qi. His words were provocative, and he really wanted to see a conflict. indeed, with the strength of the purple Moon Palace, it¡¯s normal for them to look down on me. However, a junior who has lost his Army dares to come here to embarrass himself? ¡± Mo Yan laughed at herself, but in the next moment, her expression turned cold. The flames in her hand condensed and she attacked Lin Mo. ¡°You really dare to make a move?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. Where did this fellow get his courage from? In the garden, many experts watched Mo Yan¡¯s attack and watched a good show. When she saw the calm and composed Lin Mo, she was a little surprised because the beautiful silk lady opposite her clearly had no intention of making a move. It wasn¡¯t just beautiful silk. Even Lin Mo ignored Mo Yan and remained calm. However, some people could sense that the spirit Qi in Lin Mo¡¯s body had been activated. He was probably planning to block this move. ¡°That¡¯s a little overconfident.¡± Someone mumbled. No matter what, Mo Yan was still an 8th firmament expert. Lin Mo¡¯s confidence seemed a little overconfident to them. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re looking for death.¡± The palm covered in flames slapped over. Seeing that Lin Mo and beautiful silk did not move, Mo Yan increased his strength. A cold smile appeared on his face. At such a close distance, even an expert of the same level would be seriously injured if he was defenseless. Furthermore, Lin Mo was still calm and composed. He did not Dodge or defend. He didn¡¯t expect this so-called vice Palace Master of the purple Moon Palace to be an idiot. It seemed that after the Holy Fire¡¯s sacrifice, the eastern land was going to have another fun. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo raised his hand, and a Black Vortex appeared in his palm. The space seemed to distort at this moment, and the next moment, Mo Yan felt the flames on his palm disappear. Not only that, there was a force in Lin Mo¡¯s body that seemed to be able to penetrate all defenses and attack his body. However, this force was not very strong. He used his spiritual Qi to expel it. ¡°Eh? What?¡± In the next instant, Mo Yan was greatly shocked because he sensed what that power was. ¡°God devouring body!¡± Lin Mo had transferred the power of the God Devourer body into his body through his palm just now to devour spirit Qi. He tried his best to drive it away, but he found that the process was very difficult. This power could devour anything. As Lin Mo¡¯s counterattack was too quick, he did not manage to defend himself at the first moment, which allowed the devouring power to invade. ¡°Pfft.¡± He spat out a mouthful of blood. Mo Yan¡¯s attack had been completely blocked by Lin Mo, and his body had been injured from expelling the devouring power. After receiving Mo Yan¡¯s palm, Lin Mo finally stood up. He took a step forward and caught up to Mo Yan, who had just retreated. His speed was so fast that Mo Yan didn¡¯t have time to react and Dodge, and Lin Mo¡¯s palm landed on his chest. ¡°BOOM!¡± The power of lightning and fire combined and exploded in an instant, causing a vast amount of spiritual energy to explode. Mo Yan¡¯s body was directly sent flying, and blood spurted out, leaving a long mark on the garden¡¯s floor. If not for the fact that the garden was made of special materials and was reinforced with formations and runes, Lin Mo¡¯s attack would have sent him flying thousands of meters away ¡­ The entire garden quieted down as everyone stared at Lin Mo in shock. Many people looked at him in shock. Didn¡¯t they say that his strength was due to the purple spirit guards of the purple Moon Palace? From the looks of it, the rumors were false. Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, they had also seen how powerful the God devouring body was. In Mo Yan¡¯s previous attack, Lin Mo¡¯s God devouring body seemed to have devoured the spirit Qi. He was even injured after that. She wondered how Lin Mo had done it. the God Devourer body¡¯s combat power can¡¯t be underestimated. I wonder how he¡¯ll cultivate the next few ranks. Someone sighed. The God devouring body could bring extraordinary combat power and Foundation. Similarly, the consumption of resources was also huge. One could only imagine how difficult it would be for Lin Mo to break through to the seventh heaven of Nirvana stage. However, this did not stop the crowd from acknowledging Lin Mo¡¯s strength. They looked at him with a little more fear. At the end of the garden, a few people hidden under cloaks saw this scene, and their eyes gradually darkened. tell the people behind to stop trying. His combat power is at the peak of the eighth heaven, close to the ninth heaven. Let¡¯s try to kill him at the sacred fire sacrifice. These people¡¯s lips moved slightly as they spoke without the slightest worry about being heard. ¡°Hehe, Daoist Lin Mo, you¡¯re really something,¡± In the garden, the woman in the red dress, who was sitting in the center, walked over with a smile. She arrived in front of Mo Yan, who wanted to continue attacking, and said softly, ¡± this is Saint burning valley, not your fire cloud clan. ¡°You¡¯re a guest, but you should know that the guest does as the host does.¡± ¡°Fighting is forbidden here. Sect head Mo Yan, if you still want to participate in the sacred fire offering, then don¡¯t stir up any more trouble.¡± These words were completely directed at Mo Yan. As for Lin Mo, she did not mention a single word. Seeing this, Mo Yan gritted his teeth. His gaze wavered, but he quickly retracted it. Seeing that no one was speaking up for him, and that he was in the wrong, he could only run away. However, Lin Mo had also noticed the look in his eyes. In reality, Lin Mo had never believed that Mo Yan would dare to provoke him alone. I¡¯ve long heard that Daoist Lin Mo is not only proficient in the law of fire, but also in the power of lightning. Seeing you today, you indeed live up to your reputation. After teaching Mo Yan a lesson, she walked to Lin Mo¡¯s side, cupped her fists, and smiled. ¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m tang Ling.¡± ¡°Greetings, miss Tang Ling.¡± Lin Mo returned the gesture with a fist salute. He was slightly surprised as he could sense an extremely powerful aura from her. After a simple conversation, Tang Ling left. The garden gradually became lively. Experts from all sides were chatting and guessing the results of the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice. Lin Mo and damask also began to discuss. They had never participated in the Holy Fire offering, so they did not understand what it was. Fortunately, the people of the Saint burning valley came to explain. The bell rang, and the garden immediately quieted down. Countless eyes were focused on the center. There, Tang Ling stood up and bowed to a middle-aged man. With this man¡¯s appearance, the gazes of many experts in the garden became heated. They all rubbed their fists in anticipation of the Holy Fire¡¯s sacrifice. ¡°Hehe, this seat feels that the Holy flame offering this time around will be the most exciting one in the past thousand years ¡­¡± The man laughed. He looked at Tang Ling, then at the surroundings, and finally stopped at Lin Mo for a moment. He walked to the center and said loudly,¡±some of you are here for the first time. I am the valley master of Saint burning valley, Tang Jitong.¡± &Nbsp; ¡°Greetings, Valley Master Tang.¡± Some people bowed respectfully, but there were also some who ignored him and remained calm. The Saint burning valley was a force at the border of the eastern land, but it was not the strongest. Chapter 489 - The Origin of the Holy Fire sacrifice The origin of the Holy Fire sacrifice Usually, he stood aloof from the world and did not have many enemies. This Tang Jitong was very famous in the eastern land. He had once made a name for himself in the eastern land. ¡°Valley Master Tang, could it be that you are also going to participate in the sacred flame sacrifice this time?¡± Someone asked, very curious. At the very least, he did not participate in the previous holy flame¡¯s sacrifice because there was no need to. Being in the Saint burning valley, he had already gotten all the inheritances he could. If he couldn¡¯t get them, no matter how hard he tried, it would be hard to get anything. However, there might be some changes this time. When Tang Ling was born, there was a strange phenomenon from the sky and the Holy flame showed signs of awakening. Therefore, there was no doubt that Tang Ling would definitely gain something from the Holy Fire worship. However, she was slightly weaker and was still a little away from the 6th sky of Nirvana stage. If she was given another half a month, she might be able to break through. With this kind of strength, participating in the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice would be very dangerous. Perhaps Tang Jitong would choose to follow this time. not only that, but the great elder and Grand Elder of the Saint burning valley will also participate in order to revive the Holy flame. Tang Jitong said. When he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared beside him. The temperature in the air suddenly rose, and even though everyone was proficient in fire, they still felt the heat. ¡°Two ninth heavenly layer Nirvana Stage practitioners ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had not just broken through, but had been at the peak of the ninth heaven for a long time. He just didn¡¯t know how strong they were. If they could fight against tiansha, that would be terrifying. the Saint burning valley has always kept a low profile, but I didn¡¯t expect it to have such a terrifying Foundation ¡­ Damask sighed emotionally as well. With the Saint burning Valley¡¯s appeal, they could form an Army at any time. If they wanted to, they could definitely become one of the top forces in the eastern land. don¡¯t worry, everyone. We¡¯re going in to revive the Holy flame, so we won¡¯t disturb you from obtaining your opportunities. Tang Jitong comforted. There was a reason why the Saint burning valley could call for more than 80% of the world¡¯s top fire element Masters to come. Everyone could benefit from the sacred fire¡¯s sacrifice, but fights were inevitable. There were more wolves than meat, and everyone wanted to eat more. As the host, they usually wouldn¡¯t go to a place with too many people who were too strong. The goal was to leave a good reputation so that these people would come again next time and help them awaken the Holy flame. His words made many people feel at ease, but at the same time, they were very surprised. Some people looked at Tang Ling. She had triggered an anomaly back then and triggered the Holy flame. It seemed that the Holy Burn Valley thought that Tang Ling might have awakened the Holy flame ¡­ ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ll tell you the origin of the Holy Fire¡¯s sacrifice and what you need.¡± Tang Jitong waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. He wanted to explain the Holy Fire offering to those who had not participated. Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and beautiful silk perked up their ears and listened carefully. None of them had participated before. In fact, they didn¡¯t even know about the Saint burning valley before this. The eastern continent was vast, but she was not even forty years old. She did not have enough experience, not to mention traveling all the way to the border of the continent. the Holy flame offering is one of the inheritance ceremonies of our Saint burning valley ¡­ Under Tang Jitong¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo and the others gradually understood the content and origin of the Holy Fire¡¯s sacrifice. In ancient times, the sacred fire Memorial was originally used to pay respects to the ancestors of the Saint burning valley, to comfort their spirits in heaven. It required the disciples of the valley to offer one-tenth of their blood essence to nourish the Holy flame. At the same time, the Holy flame would also open an illusionary realm, allowing one¡¯s consciousness to enter it to train. The treasures obtained in the secret realm could be directly brought out. It would be easier to comprehend the rules of the fire attribute in there. In ancient times, this was an event that belonged to Saint burning valley, and it was their opportunity. However, when the shackles appeared and stopped the Tribulation, it also limited the growth of the eastern continent cultivators. Gradually, immortal-foundation experts were no longer born. The previous immortal-foundation experts had either left or died. It was as if the eastern continent had been forgotten by the world. The other continents no longer had any contact with the eastern continent, and they even avoided it. The quality of the Saint burning Valley¡¯s disciples had dropped, and the Holy flame was dormant and no longer responding. Until a Valley Lord paid a huge price to ask the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s sacred Lord to calculate the way to awaken the sacred fire. That was to gather all the fire attribute cultivators in the world to provide their blood essence to nourish the sacred fire. Only then would it be able to open the illusion. However, this could only make the Holy flame respond for a short time. It would take too long to completely awaken it. Chapter 490 - The Auction Before the Memorial The auction before the memorial What Lin Mo took out were naturally some precious spirit pills and spirit herbs. These were all treasures that could heal the soul and were extremely precious. Fortunately, Lin Mo had a rich collection and could take them out. ¡°Illusionary light flower, soul-clearing daylily grass, soul-shaping pill ¡­¡± Some people gulped when they saw the treasures that Lin Mo had taken out. There were too many treasures in his collection. Every single one of these treasures was a Supreme treasure, and they would attract people to fight over them. This time, however, Lin Mo had taken out seven pieces of equipment, and they were the ones they needed the most. ¡°Little friend, are you really willing to sell it?¡± The great elder of Saint burning valley was overjoyed. Lin Mo had given him a big surprise. haha, our Saint burning valley also has some in our collection. We don¡¯t have Saint fire spirit stones, but we do have fire spirit crystals. If you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯m willing to exchange a fire spirit crystal for this item. The great elder laughed and called for someone to bring the fire spirit crystals from the Treasury. What he wanted to exchange was naturally the treasure that Lin Mo had taken out. It was a rank 3 Earth Class spirit herb, soul-returning grass. The fire spirit crystal was also at rank 3 Earth Class, and it was even more precious. It could be absorbed by fire attributed cultivators, and it was most suitable for Xiao die¡¯s pure fire element. To be honest, Lin Mo was a little tempted. If he were to auction the fire spirit crystal, the return-to-profit treasure would definitely be related to the sacred fire spirit stone. Even if it wasn¡¯t, it wasn¡¯t that far off. Perhaps the system would give him a damaged sacred fire spirit stone, and he could bring it back for Xiao die to use. It was better than nothing. ¡°Senior, I still plan to auction it off. If senior wants it, you can participate in the auction.¡± After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo decided to auction it off. After all, he would be able to get a return from the system this way. As for the sacred fire spirit stone, if he couldn¡¯t find it in the illusion, he could just use his earth grade magic artifact to exchange for the fire spirit crystal in the sacred burning valley. As long as he offered a high price, Saint burning valley would not refuse. ¡°This ¡­¡± The Grand Elder was a little hesitant. He looked around and saw that the people were looking at the resurrection grass with desire. This was not good. Those who could come here more or less had some savings. He was worried that the soul returning grass would be taken by someone else. That would be terrible. great elder, don¡¯t worry. This is Saint burning valley. We¡¯re not weak in terms of wealth. The elder who was called over reminded them. This was the Saint burning valley, no one could snatch it from them. After some discussion, Lin Mo successfully held the auction. Although there were only seven items, they were all valuable treasures. ¡°I know that the seniors can¡¯t wait, so let¡¯s keep it simple. The auction will begin.¡± Lin Mo took out a display stand from the system space, and an auction hammer appeared in his hand. As an auctioneer, he naturally carried these items with him. the first item is a rank nine spirit level soul shaping pill. The starting price is seven million medium spiritual stones. Many people were interested and wanted to find an elixir that could heal their souls. After entering the illusionary realm, death would damage the soul, and the damage to the soul was very difficult to heal. This was also why Saint burning valley was also looking for spirit herbs. They were going to take Tang Ling to the most dangerous area, and she would die if she was not careful. However, it was worth the risk to let Tang Ling get the inheritance. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones, so I¡¯ll bid three level 8 spirit grade spirit pills. Is that okay?¡± An old man in the distance said. There were many rogue cultivators here, and they didn¡¯t have that many spirit stones, so they could only barter. I¡¯ll give you a level 9 spirit grade spirit pill and a level 8 spirit grade cultivation method. Another person made a bid, but the bidding method was a little different. They both offered valuable treasures. After a round of bidding, the soul moulding pill was finally won by the great elder of the Saint burning valley. He bid three spirit Rank 9 spirit grade spirit herbs, which shocked everyone. One should know that an ordinary spiritual herb could be auctioned for more than eight million medium spiritual stones. The soul moulding pill¡¯s final price was usually just over 18 million medium spiritual stones. Lin Mo was very satisfied with this result. He looked at the first elder, who was not far away, and found him more and more pleasing to the eye. ¡°Rich and generous, you¡¯re a real man ¡­¡± congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit grade rank 9 soul forming pill. [ successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 1 Earth Class soul healing pill. Lin Mo wanted to auction off the soul healing pill as well. However, on second thought, he decided to keep it for now. After all, he might be able to use it. Not only did the people of Saint burning valley want to go to the dangerous area, but he also wanted to go. the next item is a half-step earth grade illusion flower. The starting price is thirteen million medium spiritual stones. A half-step earth grade illusion light flower was a strange flower that grew in extreme environments. Not only could it heal the soul, but it could also help one comprehend Dao. Bai Luo had picked them from a strange cliff when he went on the expedition. Lin Mo had taken them when he was counting. 15000000 medium spiritual stones. Hehe, can you all give me some face and come to me for pill refining in the future? ¡± The one who made the bid was old man Xuan Yao. He did not have much confidence in his combat strength. After all, he had been studying alchemy all this while. He wanted to go in and pick some herbs. Some precious spiritual herbs were his favorite, but the journey was also very dangerous. mystical medicine, you¡¯re a little thick-skinned, aren¡¯t you? you want to get it for only 15 million? no way. Someone shook his head and walked over to bid. He raised the price to 20 million. ¡°Old Ox nose, what do you mean? I just didn¡¯t refine pills for you last time. Do you have to hate me so much?¡± Old man Xuan Yao said angrily. ¡°Bullshit, I¡¯m not as vengeful as you. It just so happens that I also want the illusionary light flower.¡± The old man who was called Old Ox nose cursed. The two of them started to argue, but they didn¡¯t forget to bid. The rest of the people were watching the show quietly. Because the two of them were fighting, the price had already risen to 30 million. Even so, the price was still rising. The two of them argued for a few minutes, and the price eventually stopped at forty-two million. Elder Xuan Yao successfully kept the illusion light flower into his bag. ¡°Young man, I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones. Here are two level 9 spirit grade spirit pills. I¡¯ll sell them to you for 21 million. Is that okay?¡± The old man handed over a Jade bottle with two green spiritual pills inside. origin Qi pill. You can instantly recover 70% of your spiritual energy after taking it. However, it won¡¯t be very effective for you. It¡¯s more suitable for this young lady beautiful silk. with these two spiritual pills, we¡¯ll have more combat power in the illusion. The old man explained. isn¡¯t the consciousness entering an illusion? can one still take spiritual pills? ¡± Lin Mo was stunned. the methods of the ancient era are ingenious. It¡¯s beyond our reach and can¡¯t be predicted. Old man Xuan Yao laughed. He had participated in the previous holy flame offering, so he naturally knew the key points. ¡°Thank you for your guidance, senior.¡± Lin Mo took the Jade bottle and passed it to beautiful silk, who was watching from the side. ¡°Aunty, just accept it. It¡¯s an extra layer of protection.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± he said. Beautiful silk received it with a smile. A spirit pill that could instantly recover was equally precious. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the half-step earth-grade illusory light flower. [ successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining earth grade Rank 2 Firefly grass ] Chapter 491 - The Start of the Memorial The start of the memorial A Rank 2 Earth Class Firefly grass, if consumed during enlightenment, could help the soul become stronger. This was also a rare treasure and was very precious. ¡°The next item, rank 1 Earth Class, soul-clearing daylily grass. It has the effect of calming the soul.¡± Lin Mo took out a ball of light and took out the soul-clearing daylily. Strictly speaking, the soul-clearing daylily grass was a weaker version of the soul-returning grass, because the two had similar effects. If one¡¯s soul Source was damaged, consuming the soul returning grass could quickly heal it and even transform one¡¯s soul, strengthening it. Even though the soul-clearing daylily was not able to completely transform one¡¯s soul, it could still strengthen it slightly and was very valuable. The soul-clearing daylily in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was about to evolve into a soul-returning herb. If it successfully evolved, it would become a rank 1 Earth Class soul returning grass, and its value would be even higher. the starting price for this item is 18 million medium spiritual stones. The auction for the earth-rank treasures began, and many experts couldn¡¯t help but come over. After all, this was a good thing, and they didn¡¯t want to miss it. Quite a few people were bidding, and it was because the spirit medicine and spirit pills that could heal the soul were exactly what everyone needed. Therefore, the final bid had shocked Lin Mo. The soul-clearing daylily had been bought by a 9th sky Nirvana stage practitioner. ¡°Congratulations to this senior for winning the soul clearing daylily herb for 61 million.¡± Lin Mo laughed. It was indeed possible to get a higher price by auctioning here. ¡°Little friend, this old man doesn¡¯t have that many spirit stones, so I¡¯ll give you this in exchange.¡± The old man said with a smile. He walked up and took out an item that was emitting a crystal-like light. this is star grass. It¡¯s more than enough to offset sixty-one million. Please accept it, young friend. The star grass was Rank 2 Earth Class. It could help people comprehend Dao and had the same effect as the Enlightenment stone. Its value was almost as high as a rank 1 Earth Class magic item. Lin Mo was also very satisfied with this. To be able to obtain a useful spiritual herb would be of great help to him. ¡°Many thanks, senior.¡± After keeping the star grass, the old man also returned to his seat with the soul-clearing spiritual herb. congratulations, you have successfully auctioned off the soul-clearing daylily. [ successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 3 Earth Class soul-returning grass. As expected, the system¡¯s return interest would give him a similar treasure. This time, it was the advanced version of the soul-clearing daylily grass, the soul-returning grass. Furthermore, he had grown to such a high level that Lin Mo was satisfied. The auction continued, and the subsequent auctions went on smoothly. They were all earth rank treasures, which surprised people. Why did Lin Mo carry so many treasures with him? wasn¡¯t he afraid of being remembered? Not to mention anything else, the treasures he had earned today had made many people jealous, and each of them was sold for a sky-high price. What shocked the crowd the most was the final bid by the great elder of Saint burning valley. A group of people were fighting for the soul recovery grass, and the price kept rising. In the end, it was the great elder who used three fire spirit crystals as the price to buy the soul returning grass. This made him feel a little pained. Even the Saint burning valley could not afford to squander so recklessly. Furthermore, he only had two treasures that could heal the soul, which was far from enough. However, this was the territory of Saint burning valley, so he didn¡¯t dare to go too far. He wanted to take the four items, but he would inevitably offend people, which made him helpless. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the earth Class rank 3 soul returning grass. [ successfully triggered 8000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 5 Earth Class soul dissolving spiritual herb. He remembered that he had obtained a soul dissolving spirit herb in the previous auctions. It was also from the soul returning grass. This kind of herb was even more powerful and could effectively increase the strength of the soul. Furthermore, there would be no side effects after consuming it, making it an excellent treasure. ¡°Little friend, do you still have any spiritual medicine that can heal the soul?¡± The Saint burning Valley¡¯s great elder asked Lin Mo as the Holy flame sacrifice was about to start. He knew that the purple Moon Palace must have not fully digested the treasures they had accumulated from the previous expedition. Perhaps there were still spiritual medicines in the palace that could heal the soul, but he just didn¡¯t bring them out. ¡°Senior, is the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice that dangerous? why are you so unconfident?¡± Lin Mo was a little confused. Three of the four people from the Saint burning valley were at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm. If even an expert of this level could not guarantee their survival in there, then this illusion was simply too dangerous. little friend, you may not know, but it¡¯s a secret of the Saint burning valley. It¡¯s not convenient for me to tell you. The great elder sighed. He had something that was difficult to say. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when the time comes. If seniors really die in the illusion, I won¡¯t sit by and do nothing.¡± Finally, Lin Mo said this to reassure the great elder. The first elder was overjoyed to receive the reply. Lin Mo indeed had more treasures on him. His collection was truly rich ¡­ thank you, young friend. If you really need it, Saint burning valley will never forget your kindness. The great elder left in satisfaction. Not long after, an elder from the Saint burning valley came and asked everyone to move. ¡°My Lords, the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice is about to begin. Please follow me.¡± He followed them through Saint burning valley and passed by many ancient buildings. During this time, Lin Mo felt many powerful arrays. These were all very complete arrays with great power. Lin Mo was shocked to see an altar in the depths. The scene was extremely shocking. In the center of the altar, there was a half-meter tall flame, and there were many patterns engraved on it. The flame was light green in color and was swaying in the wind. As soon as they got close, everyone could feel the terrifying temperature. It was easy to imagine the power of the Holy flame. ¡°What kind of flame is that?¡± Lin Mo asked via voice transmission. Damask stared at the light green flame for a long time before shaking her head helplessly. ¡°I can¡¯t see it clearly. This shouldn¡¯t be the real body. What we saw was just an illusion.¡± She had an illusion that the flames in front of her were a little illusionary, as if they didn¡¯t really exist. However, the sense of danger that he gave her was real, and she did not dare to be careless. everyone, this is the Holy Fire of our Saint burning valley. It has the mark of our ancestors and will always protect us. Tang Jitong said. The Holy Fire Valley had been passed down to this day mostly because of the Holy Fire. Although it was in a deep sleep, it had always protected this place, turning it into a Pure Land. the ceremony is very simple. Sit on the ground and release your blood essence. You will enter the illusion in a short time. After Tang Jitong finished speaking, he began to condense his blood essence, which dripped from his fingertips and sank into the ground. Brilliant fire element runes appeared on the ground. They were very powerful. A burning aura appeared and enveloped Tang Jitong, wrapping his whole body. The Holy flame swayed, emitting a weak fluctuation. At the same time, a special force appeared and shrouded Tang Jitong¡¯s body, making him look extremely mysterious. ¡°Let¡¯s begin. I¡¯m very curious about this so-called fortune.¡± Beautiful silk smiled. Since she had decided to participate, she would not hesitate. She immediately cut her wrist and let her blood essence flow out. Seeing this, Lin Mo did the same and condensed his blood essence onto the ground. The scorching temperature rose and began to envelop the surroundings. Many people began to release their blood essence. Chapter 492 - Entering an Illusion Entering an illusion More and more blood essence flowed into the ground, and the sacred fire in the center of the altar bloomed with light. Indistinctly, three thousand rays of light appeared around the Holy flame. It was as if it had transformed into a lotus flower that had bloomed. The 3,000 flower petals were incomparably resplendent, causing everyone to be dazed. This was the evolution of the Dao law. It was the 3000 great Dao. Among them, there were not only flames, but also other things that existed in the form of Dao fire. Lin Mo was not the only one. The rest of the people also saw this scene. Many of them were here for the first time and felt that it was very novel. The charm of the great Dao emerged, and people were mesmerized. How much one could comprehend depended on their own fate. The Holy flame in the middle gradually expanded and finally enveloped everyone. They also felt that their souls had been sublimated, as if they had ascended to heaven. They suddenly understood a lot. Lin Mo felt a sense of novelty as he was surrounded by flames. It was a completely new experience. This sacred fire had swallowed his blood essence and then presented the 3000 great Dao in front of him. Although he could not understand it, he had benefited a lot from it. After that, he gradually gained enlightenment and almost forgot himself. The aura on his body began to slowly rise, and his understanding of the Dao laws became deeper. There was a flash of light, and Lin Mo felt his vision blur. His body fell silent, and his consciousness had already entered a deep level of cultivation. Many people around him were surprised to see his strange behavior. Those who had participated in the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice all knew that this was a sign of entering an illusion. This also meant that Lin Mo was extremely talented. The Holy flame had just displayed its power, and he had already entered an illusion. One could only imagine how talented he was. ¡°This child must not be left alive ¡­¡± Not far away, a few men saw this and coldly muttered to themselves. Lin Mo¡¯s talent made them fear him. If he were to continue cultivating, it was hard to imagine whether he would be able to reach the immortal-Foundation Stage ¡­ If that were to happen, it would probably be Lin Mo¡¯s time to settle the score. ¡°Oh,¡± Ten minutes later, there was another flash of light. Tang Ling, who was in the distance, was acting strangely. Like Lin Mo, she had also entered the illusion. the genius girl of Saint burning valley. It¡¯s said that she¡¯s as talented as saintess Xia you. It seems that she¡¯s worthy of her reputation. Some people praised her. However, because Lin Mo had entered, Tang Ling didn¡¯t get much praise. However, she no longer knew what was happening in the outside world. Right now, her consciousness had already entered the illusory space. In a corner not far away, Lin Mo sat cross-legged and comprehended what he had gained earlier. He felt that his comprehension of the laws was no longer weaker than some of the experts in the ninth heaven. However, due to the God devouring body, it was difficult for him to break through and he needed a large number of spirit stones. ¡°Hey, how did you comprehend it? how did you get in so quickly?¡± Tang Ling came in front of Lin Mo and sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully sizing him up. Ever since she was young, her father had told her that in the entire Eastern continent, there was only one person who could suppress her in terms of talent-Holy maiden Xia you. However, she had never expected that someone more powerful than her would appear in this holy flame¡¯s sacrifice. He just didn¡¯t know how Lin Mo¡¯s talent would be compared to Holy maiden Xia you. ¡°I wonder what miss Tang Ling plans to do next?¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes and asked curiously. He had originally planned to cultivate for a while, but there were 3000 great Dao manifestations here, which were extremely profound. He was worried that he would fall into a deep level of cultivation. Although this was a good thing, he did not forget that his purpose in coming here was to find the sacred fire spirit stone. I¡¯m naturally going to the core area, the Holy Fire Summit. Tang Ling laughed. That was the center of the illusion, and it was also a terrain that would never change. It was a volcanic crater. If she entered from there, she would be able to see the true body of the Holy flame. Her goal was to obtain the approval of the Holy flame. If the Holy Fire could be revived and no longer dormant, Saint Burn Valley would receive immeasurable benefits. of course, it¡¯s very dangerous there. It¡¯s said that if you die there, your soul will suffer an unprecedented injury. This was also the reason why the great elder of Saint burning valley had been looking for the spirit medicine to heal his soul. I¡¯m very curious, why didn¡¯t the Saint burning valley prepare any soul healing elixirs this time? ¡± Lin Mo asked. If the Saint burning valley had been prepared, they would not have wasted so many true treasures on the auction. there was one in the past, but when I was born, the Holy flame moved. Father thought I could revive the Holy flame. ¡°Back then, she brought the young me to the Holy flame. In the end, I was severely injured, and my soul was almost destroyed.¡± ¡°At that time, I had not cultivated yet, so I could not absorb much energy from the spirit herbs.¡± Tang Ling was helpless. When she talked about what happened in the past, she didn¡¯t care that Lin Mo was someone she had just met. in order to save me, I swallowed all the spiritual herbs that the Saint burning valley had accumulated for almost a thousand years. However, this also left her with some injuries, causing her cultivation to be slower, falling behind Lin Mo and Holy maiden Xia you ¡­ The two of them chatted for a while, and Lin Mo also found out a lot of things. This included the sacred fire spirit stone, which was also located in a fixed area. To the South of the illusionary realm was a desert. It was filled with danger and all kinds of strange phenomena could take one¡¯s life. In addition, there were also demonic beasts. Although they were all illusionary realms, they were also based on a dangerous place in ancient times. you¡¯d better cultivate here for a while before you go. Otherwise, you¡¯ll get nothing after providing the blood essence. Tang Ling reminded Lin Mo to get some benefits first, or else he would waste a chance. thank you for the reminder. However, I¡¯m desperate for the sacred fire spirit stone. Even if I can¡¯t find anything, I¡¯ll accept it. Lin Mo cupped his fists and ended the conversation because a group of people came in one after another. Beautiful silk¡¯s talent was also above average, and she belonged to the first batch of people to enter. After meeting up with Lin Mo, the two of them chose to leave immediately to find the Holy Fire spirit stone for Xiao die. ¡°Aren¡¯t you being too arrogant?¡± The Grand Elder of Saint burning valley frowned. It would be a little irrational for Lin Mo and beautiful silk to leave just like that and head to the southern desert region. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate that young man. Ling ¡®er, what do you think of him?¡± Tang Jitong laughed. Tang Ling nodded. he¡¯s a very strong opponent. He¡¯s no weaker than saintess Xia you. I heard that he has four incomplete techniques of the ancient divine beasts. If they really fight, I¡¯m afraid that even saintess Xia you might not be able to win. Such an expert would definitely compete for resources in his future cultivation journey. He would need to make preparations in advance. ¡°There are many talented people, but there has never been one who could make Young Valley master give such an evaluation. Could it be that young miss is moved? However, it¡¯s a pity that he already has a Dao partner. Otherwise, we could have tried to match him.¡± The Grand Elder said as he stroked his white beard. ¡°Great-grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± Tang Ling¡¯s eyes widened and she said angrily. This was her first time meeting Lin Mo, right? she had praised him for his talent, so how could she be mistaken for having feelings for him? Chapter 493 - The Currency of the Ancient Era At this moment, Lin Mo had already left the starting ground with beautiful silk. After embarking on their journey, they discovered that the fire elements here were extremely dense. what a pity. If Xiaodie could come here for closed-door cultivation, she might be able to obtain a heaven-defying fortune. Damask sighed. Strictly speaking, she and Lin Mo were not suitable for this place. This was because this place was filled with the purest fire element, and there was no other power. The most suitable one would be Xiao die¡¯s extreme fire attribute. However, Lin Mo also knew that Xiao die could not be brought to Saint burning valley, or it would cause a commotion. He knew that once Xiao die¡¯s talent was exposed, she would be pursued by countless people and might even lose her life. Even the people of Saint burning valley would make a move. ¡°If we keep going, we¡¯ll reach the desert. There are demon beasts hiding there, so we have to be careful.¡± Lin Mo said. The vegetation in the vicinity had been reduced, and most of them were dead trees. There was even some dust in the air. They were close to the desert. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t force yourself here. If you encounter danger, you can¡¯t fight.¡± Damask warned. Previously, people had mentioned many times that this place was dangerous, and even immortal-foundation experts didn¡¯t dare to be careless. She was worried about Lin Mo¡¯s safety. Although he wouldn¡¯t die, his soul would be severely injured. Even with the help of elixirs, it would take some time to heal. This would delay Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. I know.¡± alright! Lin Mo replied and flew into the distance with beautiful silk. The sand and dust in the surroundings gradually increased. At the end of their vision, they could even see sand all over the sky being swept up by the strong wind, forming a sandstorm. Looking at the endless desert around him, Lin Mo frowned slightly. He could vaguely sense danger approaching and felt a little uneasy. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± At that moment, Lin Mo and damask simultaneously sensed that there were demonic beasts hiding underground. ¡°BOOM!¡± Dust flew up from below as a huge iron Pincher flew out and attacked Lin Mo. A light yellow scorpion that was a thousand feet long appeared under the sand. A sharp poisonous thorn also attacked, heading straight for beautiful silk, not allowing her to support Lin Mo at the first moment. ¡°What a strange demonic beast. I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He summoned the Daluo divine sword, and the sword light bloomed, knocking the pincers back and leaving deep sword marks on them. ¡°Ji!¡± The Scorpion let out a shrill cry. The Daluo divine sword had injured it. ¡°What a tough defense.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. His sword attack was not weak. Normally, it should have been able to cut off the pincers. He did not expect that it would only leave a few sword marks. ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re looking for death.¡± Damask¡¯s furious voice was heard. She grabbed the poisonous scorpion¡¯s tail and stabbed her with the poisonous thorn, but it did not Pierce her palm. The next moment, its body was pulled up by the beautiful silk, and the glorious sun spear pierced through its head. &Nbsp; pained cries rang out as the Scorpion struggled, but its life force was continuously weakening. Soon, it died, and a large pool of dark green blood flowed out. It was extremely stinky. A pale yellow Pearl flew out from the Scorpion¡¯s head. It was burning with a weak flame, which was very strange. this should be an inner core. Judging from its grade, it should be level 8 of The Spirit Level. Not bad, you can refine it. Beautiful silk nodded. This demonic beast was at the eighth sky of the Nirvana stage. Logically speaking, the inner core produced by it should be better, but it turned out to be at the same level as it. From the looks of it, it wasn¡¯t a very powerful monster beast. Perhaps it had relied on the mysteries of this place to grow to its current level. ¡°Ji!¡± Just as the damask finished off the demonic beast, another series of neighing sounds came from the bottom of the desert. It was the Scorpion¡¯s screeches from before. The ground below trembled as demonic beasts emerged from the desert. ¡°This is an entire race.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Moreover, what surprised him even more was the strength of this group. Every Scorpion was at least at the fifth sky of Nirvana realm. Among them, there were more than a dozen level eight beasts. ¡°BOOM!¡± A muffled sound rang out, and golden light bloomed from below the desert. Terrifying figures appeared one after another, surrounding the two of them. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong, let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo grabbed damask¡¯s wrist and spread the kun Peng wings on his back. He unleashed his speed to the maximum and flew into the depths. The desert below him kept shaking. The danger of this place was beyond his imagination. Not only were these scorpions powerful, but their numbers were also shocking. There were probably more than a million of them, which made his scalp tingle. When he fled with the damask, the poisonous scorpions were also in pursuit. A strong wind blew, and the sand on the ground was swept up. These poisonous scorpions spat out a pale yellow gas that fused with the sand. A sandstorm appeared in the surroundings, rapidly attacking Lin Mo. Below them, the poisonous Scorpion also shot out its poisonous stingers in an attempt to shoot Lin Mo and the other man down. Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed drastically at the sight. He raised his hand and the Daluo divine sword appeared, repelling the poisonous stingers. The damask also made her move, killing some of the poisonous scorpions that wanted to fly up and attack. The situation was not optimistic. The sandstorm had already surrounded them, and Lin Mo immediately felt the surrounding space gradually stabilizing. These sandstorms could even seal off space and trap them here. ¡°Lin Mo, look below.¡± Suddenly, damask pointed down and discovered something unusual. The sand and dust on the ground were swept up, revealing the nest of the poisonous scorpions below, which was densely packed with many eggs. There were young poisonous scorpions inside. In addition, there was a kind of crystal stone below that contained a lot of spiritual Qi. ¡°Aunty, hold on. I¡¯ll go down and take a look.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued, and he decided to go down and give it a try. ¡°No, you stay, I¡¯ll go.¡± Damask was shocked and wanted to pull Lin Mo back. However, it was too late. Lin Mo controlled the kun Peng wings, and no one could match his speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the Scorpion nest below. Many poisonous scorpions saw that someone had barged in and launched attacks one after another, not worried about hurting their young. In reality, even with so many eggs, not many of them could successfully hatch. Hence, they were not worried at all and launched a deadly attack to capture Lin Mo. ¡°Troublesome ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. The Daluo divine sword repelled a few scorpions and grabbed a crystal. It was filled with dense spirit Qi. However, he didn¡¯t know what it was. He put it into the system space and waited for the system¡¯s response. [spirit origin stone. There was a period of time in ancient times when it was used as a substitute for spirit stones and was used as currency. It contains rich energy and is comparable to ten high-grade spirit stones.(Can not be auctioned)] A single spirit origin stone was comparable to ten superior-grade spirit stones. One could see how much spirit Qi it contained. Moreover, this was only one. Who knew how many were buried in this boundless desert ¡­ ¡°This is a treasure land.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. If he could obtain a large number of spirit origin stones, he might be able to break through to the 7th Sky of Nirvana stage. ¡°Lin Mo, how are you?¡± Beautiful silk shouted anxiously from above. She had only gone down to retrieve a crystal. Why did it take so long? ¡°Aunty, I¡¯m fine. Please help me for a while.¡± Chapter 494 - Collecting Spirit Origin Stones Collecting spirit origin stones Lin Mo replied. He did not plan to return yet. There were thousands of spirit origin stones in this area alone. Regardless of whether there were any in other places, he was going to take everything here. The spirit Qi gathered and condensed into sword Qi, and Lin Mo killed the few poisonous scorpions that came to stop him. The system space began to collect the surrounding treasures. At this time, he only hated the fact that the area covered by the system space was too small. The area was huge, and Lin Mo had to collect it three times before he could take everything. There were more than 3700 spirit origin stones in total, which was equivalent to 370 million medium-grade spirit stones. He didn¡¯t expect that he would get such a huge sum of money in such a short time. However, the price he had to pay was obvious. His right shoulder and left leg had been hit by the Scorpion¡¯s stingers and were poisoned. Fortunately, he had the God devouring body, which could easily swallow the poison. It didn¡¯t cause him any trouble. However, the injuries on his body were inevitable. Moreover, he couldn¡¯t stay any longer. If he continued, he was afraid that he would really be left behind. ¡°Lin Mo, you ¡­¡± After flying back up, Lin Mo returned to damask¡¯s side. He frowned when he saw that damask was severely injured. It was not a good thing to be injured at this time. It was very likely that he would die Here. don¡¯t worry, aunty. Help me get out of this place first. This is dangerous, but it¡¯s also an opportunity. Lin Mo chuckled. He casually took a spirit pill and was pulled out by Qi Luo. Although the sandstorm was very troublesome, the damask was an expert of the ninth heaven after all. These poisonous scorpions were very afraid of her, so they could only pursue her from a distance. ¡°You¡¯re taking too much risk. You know, I just felt the aura of a demonic beast of the ninth heaven.¡± Qi Luo reproached. The Scorpion¡¯s nest was too dangerous, yet Lin Mo still dared to rush in. ¡°By the way, what is that crystal? is it referring to your adventure?¡± After flying for an hour, beautiful silk finally brought Lin Mo away and asked curiously. She could not see very clearly, but she could feel that Lin Mo seemed to have taken away all the crystals below. Otherwise, he would not have been so seriously injured. this is a spirit stone. It was used as currency in ancient times. Lin Mo laughed happily. There must be more places like this. Even if he did not find the Holy Fire spirit stone, it would be worth it. ¡°Spirit origin stone? I¡¯ve never heard of it ¡­¡± Beautiful silk shook her head. She had read many ancient books, but she could not remember this part of history. that¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is that one Spirit stone is equivalent to ten upper-grade spirit stones. Lin Mo laughed. He had earned 370 million medium spiritual stones from that trip. ¡°It¡¯s that precious?¡± Damask was slightly surprised. After a short moment of daze, beautiful silk became slightly excited. Lin Mo¡¯s current predicament was that he did not have enough resources. Although he had earned a lot of spiritual stones, he had to use them to run the purple Moon Palace. A lot of construction, training of disciples, military, and so on all required spiritual stones. Therefore, there were very few things that could be used for Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation. Now that he could find such a treasure, Lin Mo¡¯s realm could be raised by another level. that¡¯s great! Let¡¯s not go look for the Holy Fire spirit stones yet. Let¡¯s get some more spirit origin stones. Said damask with a nod. She also believed that there were more spirit origin stones in this place. However, he would have to enter the Scorpion¡¯s nest again, which was a little dangerous. ¡°Let¡¯s not go in too deep first. Let¡¯s go look for the Scorpion nest.¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw damask agree. He was originally worried that beautiful silk would think it was too dangerous and would not agree to this. Now, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary. As long as he could obtain enough spirit origin stones, he would be able to break through. However, although he and damask had made up their minds to break into the Scorpion¡¯s nest, they did not blindly charge in. These poisonous scorpions were all very powerful. If they were surrounded, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°Let¡¯s stop with the transfer spiritual array first. Fortunately, we have prepared enough and have enough materials to set it up.¡± Lin Mo said. He took out a pile of materials and refined the formation flags with damask. After placing the transfer spiritual array in a safe place, the two of them flew across the desert and suppressed their auras, allowing the poisonous scorpions to attack them. After traveling through the desert, they were attacked in less than half an hour. However, it was not a Scorpion this time. Instead, it was a white lizard at the ninth sky of Nirvana realm. It was extremely powerful. Even the damask would find it difficult to defeat him. Especially since this was its home ground. The fire element here was rich, and it could help it replenish its energy at any time. On the other hand, although beautiful silk¡¯s fire attribute had become stronger, she still had her water attribute. She was being suppressed here instead, and her combat strength was reduced sharply. Fortunately, their goal wasn¡¯t to deal with the lizard, but to find spirit origin stones. While the damask tulip held the lizard back, Lin Mo successfully made his way to its lair and discovered that there were Spirit Source stones there as well. ¡°A total of seven hundred and thirty ¡­¡± Compared to the Scorpion nest, it was a little rare, but fortunately, there was no danger this time. After collecting all the spirit origin stones, he met up with damask. As soon as he appeared, he was attacked by the lizards. ¡°Roar!¡± The White lizard bellowed, and flames filled the sky as it attacked Lin Mo. It had also noticed that while it was fighting with the woman in front of it, this person had taken all the treasures in its nest. ¡°We got it, let¡¯s run.¡± Lin Mo shouted. The Daluo divine sword split the flames apart and successfully joined up with damask. The two of them activated the teleportation formation and disappeared. ¡°That was close. The demonic beasts in this illusionary realm are all very powerful ¡­¡± Beautiful silk heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had escaped. ¡°This is a natural treasure land, we can¡¯t waste it.¡± Lin Mo licked his lips. There were not only poisonous scorpions in the desert, but also many powerful demonic beasts. However, there were more or less spirit origin stones in their nests. In the days that followed, Lin Mo and Mo Huanxi escaped death several times through the teleportation formation and the kun Peng wings. During this period of time, he had naturally obtained a large number of spirit origin stones. Moreover, there were a few times when he couldn¡¯t escape, so he could only fight with all his might and kill the demonic beasts to obtain their inner cores. Ten days passed quickly. Lin Mo and beautiful silk rested in a cave. During this time, they had gained a lot. They got a rank 1 Earth Class inner core, which was a level 9 Dragon lizard. It had a powerful bloodline and abhorred evil. After Lin Mo had stolen its home, it had followed its aura and come all the way here for revenge. In the end, damask was injured. She had to take a source energy pill to recover and kill the Dragon lizard. However, this also made Lin Mo and the others wary. They cleared all traces along the way to not expose themselves. we¡¯ve obtained a total of more than 27000 spirit origin stones, which is equivalent to 2.7 billion medium spiritual stones. Unfortunately, there are only a few of them in each location. Lin Mo was a little dissatisfied. Although this number was a lot, it was still far from enough. Lin Mo had estimated that he would need more than 10 billion middle-grade spirit stones for this breakthrough. Moreover, he would need a huge amount of spiritual stones to stabilize his realm after the breakthrough. He would need to prepare 20 billion medium spiritual stones to break through. Otherwise, his life would be in danger if he did not have enough spiritual energy during the breakthrough. Chapter 495 - The Treasure Behind the Teleportation Formation The treasure behind the teleportation formation what a pity. I thought there would be a lot, but we¡¯ve walked through the desert. Even if we missed out on some, there aren¡¯t many. Damask sighed. The harvest this time was not bad, but it was still a little lacking compared to what Lin Mo needed. ¡°Let¡¯s go deeper and stop provoking these demonic beasts.¡± Lin Mo said. He had yet to achieve his objective for this trip. He had to get the sacred fire spirit stone. The two of them went deeper into the desert. The number of demonic beasts in the depths of the desert was much smaller. However, these demonic beasts were all at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm, and their combat strength was terrifying. Most of the places with spirit herbs or spirit origin stones were occupied by these demonic beasts. The two of them gave it a try and discovered that these demonic beasts were all connected to each other. Pulling one hair would affect the whole body, and they couldn¡¯t be easily provoked. Lin Mo frowned, feeling an unusual pressure. In the depths of the desert, the intelligence of these demonic beasts was very high. Even if they were created by an illusion, they were still extraordinary. They would unite against outsiders and kill Lin Mo and damask first. While hiding, the two of them moved forward for several days. They had no idea how many miles they had traveled and how many dangers they had encountered. However, on this day, they discovered something unusual. As they advanced, the corpses of demonic beasts appeared. There was more than one. He didn¡¯t know what caused their deaths, but he could imagine that they must have experienced a fierce battle. As they continued forward, Lin Mo¡¯s expression gradually turned serious, and a rotten smell filled the air. One or two demonic beast corpses were in front of them, and they had been dead for many days. Not long after, they made a new discovery. The demonic beast corpses that appeared in front of them had blood on them, and there was more than one. There were more than a hundred corpses, and their blood was flowing down, forming a small stream. The strength of these demonic beasts was extremely terrifying without exception. Most of them were at the level of the nine Heavens. Lin Mo was shocked. What kind of powerful being could kill so many demonic beasts by himself? If they were killed separately, their bodies wouldn¡¯t have been piled up in one place. They had doubts in their hearts, but since they were already here, they couldn¡¯t retreat. They could only continue forward. ¡°I¡¯ll fight it out. At most, I¡¯ll just return home.¡± Lin Mo steeled his heart and did not care about anything else. He had already come this far, so how could he retreat just like that? that¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not like we didn¡¯t get anything. Beautiful silk nodded and did not object. According to what Tang Jitong had said before, dying in the Holy Fire¡¯s sacrifice would damage the soul, but the treasures stored in the storage artifact could be taken out. The two of them sped up and passed through. Along the way, they found many corpses, all of which were demonic beasts of the eighth and ninth heaven. The atmosphere was a little tense, and even Lin Mo was a little shocked. If they discovered the corpse of an immortal-Foundation expert after venturing deeper, that would be terrifying. In the end, they seemed to have come to the end of the desert. There was an ancient altar with a teleportation formation on it, leading to an unknown place. After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo and beautiful silk stood on it. The teleportation formation was activated, and the light was dazzling. After a burst of spatial fluctuations, the two figures disappeared. Before the bright white light disappeared, the two of them appeared in a strange place. This was a Palace that originated from the ancient era. Runes were carved on the walls, making it very mysterious. However, what shocked Lin Mo the most was the hidden treasure. Spirit origin stones and spirit stones were everywhere, filling the entire space. There were all sorts of precious ores, divine jades, and so on. ¡°Heavens ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This place was heaven ¡­ With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found that there were more than 100000 spirit origin stones and more than 100 million middle-grade spirit stones. The countless jade stones around him were filled with spiritual energy. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m dreaming ¡­¡± Damask murmured. She had never seen such a rich treasure before, except for the triumphant return of the purple Moon Palace. The treasures here were enough to support Lin Mo¡¯s breakthrough. what¡¯s going on? can¡¯t we take it away? ¡± Lin Mo¡¯s anxious voice was heard. Beautiful silk looked over and saw Lin Mo holding a piece of Jade in his hand. He wanted to take it away, but there was no movement. She tried a few times but eventually shook her head helplessly. ¡°How could this be ¡­¡± Lin Mo felt like he was going crazy. He had finally found the treasure, only to find that he could not take it away. ¡°Why don¡¯t you stay here and cultivate?¡± Said damask. He did not know how long he would have to wait if he missed this opportunity to break through. Lin Mo had the God devouring body anyway, so he could devour these treasures very quickly. ¡°Don¡¯t waste it. I¡¯ll protect you. It should be safe here.¡± Damask urged Lin Mo to hurry up because he did not know when danger would appear. ¡°I can only do this ¡­¡± Left with no choice, Lin Mo chose to cultivate. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to absorb the spirit Qi in the surroundings. Spirit stones and spirit origin stones flew out of the palace and headed toward Lin Mo. In the blink of an eye, the spirit stone turned into powder and the spirit Qi was absorbed. Even the divine jades and ores around him were absorbed. The energy contained in his body was constantly disappearing and being devoured by Lin Mo. Upon seeing this, damask looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, she flew out of the hall. She stood guard here to prevent any demonic beasts from disturbing Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation. And this defense lasted for two whole months. Damask had never relaxed during this period of time. In the end, she discovered that this place was very safe, and there was basically no danger. Even if there were, they were just some formations. As long as one didn¡¯t touch them, one could avoid them. could it be that all the dangers along the way have been cleared by those demon beasts? ¡± She came to an absurd conclusion. The danger was triggered by the demonic beasts, which was why there were so many demonic beast corpses along the way ¡­ ¡°It feels unreal ¡­¡± Damask smiled. If that was the case, then the heavens must be watching over her. Two months had passed, and Lin Mo had absorbed most of the treasures in the palace. He had also absorbed the spirit origin stones that he had obtained earlier. Flames and lightning wreaked havoc in the palace, and Lin Mo¡¯s aura finally bloomed. The seventh sky of the Nirvana realm. He had finally broken through successfully. When damask sensed this aura from the outside, she was both delighted and shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength had increased sharply after his breakthrough, and even she was surprised by his aura. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that even some of the experts who have just entered the ninth heaven are not Lin Mo¡¯s match now ¡­¡± She muttered to herself. ¡°Swish!¡± The next moment, a gust of wind blew beside her. Lin Mo¡¯s figure had appeared in front of her without her knowing. ¡°Aunty, thank you for your help.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Two months of guarding had caused damask to look tired. She finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Mo come out of his seclusion. it¡¯s good that you¡¯ve broken through. Let¡¯s continue on our way and look for the sacred fire spirit stone ¡­ As damask spoke, she planned to continue on with Lin Mo. There was another path outside the hall that led deeper into the palace. There might be a sacred fire spirit stone there ¡­ Chapter 496 - The Injured Great Elder The injured great elder This trip could be said to be perfect. Lin Mo had obtained the fire spirit crystal, and there was a certain chance of obtaining the sacred fire spirit stone if he auctioned it. However, he wasn¡¯t sure. It would be best if he could find the sacred fire spirit stone. this is already the deepest part. The dangers and opportunities might all be here. Lin Mo and beautiful silk did not encounter any danger along the way. Although there were many powerful formations protecting the area, they were not triggered, so the danger factor was reduced. ¡°The smell of blood, there¡¯s a living being here.¡± At the end of the path was a cave. The entrance was a mess, as if a great battle had just taken place. The two of them could smell blood in the air. In the cave, the void was in chaos. There were blurry runes on the walls, but they were very dim, as if they had been destroyed. ¡°Someone came here before us?¡± Damask was stunned. She had been guarding this place for two months, but she had not seen anyone pass by. ¡°Who ¡­¡± Suddenly, in the strange cave, a weak voice came from a corner, and it was filled with surprise. Lin Mo and Mo Wen quickly walked past each other and saw each other. This man was the great elder of Saint burning valley. He had chatted with Lin Mo before and wanted to buy more spirit herbs. When the great elder saw that it was Lin Mo, he heaved a sigh of relief. He opened his mouth with great difficulty, but no words came out. There was a bloody hole in the middle of his brows, and the flesh around it had long rotted away. There was a force that was eroding the first elder, slowly pushing him towards death. He was now an arrow at the end of its flight. first elder, your injuries are too severe. You¡¯ll need several earth grade treasures to save yourself. Lin Mo said in a deep voice. Lin Mo and damask looked grim. One could imagine how dangerous this place was to be able to injure the great elder, who had such powerful combat strength. First elder¡¯s face was red, and the Qi in his body was chaotic, as if he was suppressing something. Only then did Lin Mo realize that there were several bloody holes on the first elder¡¯s body, all of which contained corrosive energy. The injury between his eyebrows was the most serious, which was why he was noticed. The current Grand Elder could only rely on the spiritual energy in his body to persist. Once it was exhausted, it would be the time of his death. ¡°Wait, aunty, step back.¡± Lin Mo stared at the great elder carefully. He used his fingers as a sword and cut off the great elder¡¯s left arm. Black blood spurted out, and a pungent smell spread. ¡°Ji Ji!¡± At the same time, a tiny red dot let out a strange cry. It flew out of the exploded arm and pounced at the retreating damask. ¡°What is this?¡± Damask was on her guard at once. She raised her hand and shot out a stream of water, crushing the red dot. A scorching aura was emitted, and the surrounding air instantly turned red. It was very strange. ¡°Phew ¡­ Many thanks, young friend ¡­¡± The great elder¡¯s left arm had been cut off, but he didn¡¯t show any pain. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief and could finally speak. ¡°Great elder, what is that?¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and handed over a spirit pill to the first elder. ¡°Cough, cough ¡­ Little friend, can you lend me a few earth rank spirit herbs? I can take you to find the Saint fire spirit stone.¡± The great elder coughed violently. The injuries on his body did not seem to improve even after he had taken the spirit pill. Just as Lin Mo had said, his injuries could only be healed by earth rank spiritual herbs. He would need at least three of them to fully recover in a short time. don¡¯t worry, young friend. As long as we leave the illusion, I¡¯ll return all three earth rank spirit herbs to you. The great elder said. ¡°Sure, but please tell us what happened when you¡¯re healing.¡± Lin Mo took out three earth rank spirit herbs without hesitation. The great elder thanked him and swallowed the three spiritual herbs in one gulp. A majestic energy spread throughout his body, and the several bloody holes in his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. His injuries were originally very serious, and he was even on the verge of death. However, with the help of the earth rank spirit herbs, he was completely healed in less than half an hour. Even his broken arm had grown back. ¡°Phew, the feeling of being reborn is really good ¡­¡± First elder stood up and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°First elder, please enlighten me.¡± Lin Mo laughed. The first elder looked at Lin Mo gratefully and said, ¡± I didn¡¯t expect you to come out of the desert alive, young friend. You¡¯re really not simple. but it seems that you haven¡¯t found the sacred fire spirit stone since you entered the central area. The great elder¡¯s words left Lin Mo and beautiful silk scratching their heads in confusion. Weren¡¯t they always heading towards the desert in the South? they had never returned. However, from what the first elder said, it seemed like this place was the central area ¡­ ¡°Please continue.¡± Lin Mo nodded and allowed the great elder to continue. to be honest, we found the sacred fire spirit stone and wanted to take it away. However, we triggered the sealing formation and almost lost our lives. ¡°In order to let Valley master and the others leave, I blocked the attack of the formation. After being seriously injured, I stayed here to rest.¡± ¡°So, what about your injuries?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Although the great elder was injured by the formation, he could feel the vitality from the red dot just now. It seemed to be a living being. ¡°If it¡¯s just an injury caused by the formation, I can recover in a few days. But someone came behind me.¡± The great elder helplessly told Lin Mo that he had met the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master. He was a person with terrifying combat strength and many tricks that were impossible to guard against. ¡°Wait ¡­ The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, you¡¯ve invited this person?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This person was his sworn enemy. When he was still weak, he already had a grudge with the hidden ghost sect. It had been going on until now and had never been resolved. This also led to the accumulation of hatred. I don¡¯t know how it entered. It¡¯s very strange because it¡¯s its main body ¡­ The great elder explained that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master had injured him and planted a few poisonous insects in his body. ¡°He¡¯s also a spirit Bug Master?¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He never thought that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master would have such an identity. I¡¯ve killed most of the spirit insects in my body. There¡¯s only one left, but I¡¯ve used up all my strength. The great elder sighed. If he had not met Lin Mo, he would have been dead and his soul outside would have been severely injured. ¡°There¡¯s one more question. Isn¡¯t this an illusion? how did the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master come in with his true body?¡± Damask, who was silent at the side, suddenly asked. It seemed like the Saint burning valley was still hiding the so-called holy flame¡¯s sacrifice. actually, this can be considered the interior of the sacred fire. It¡¯s a small world it opened up. We entered in spiritual form. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for my main body to enter, but I have to withstand the burning of the Holy flame.¡± This was yet another piece of shocking news. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master¡¯s cultivation technique was rather evil. Bai Luo and Tian Sha had both said that this person was full of evil techniques that were extremely Yin and cold. However, he was able to enter this place. One could only imagine how many tricks he had up his sleeve and how many hidden cards he had ¡­ I can¡¯t say more. It¡¯s a secret of the Saint burning valley. Please don¡¯t mind it. The great elder was unwilling to say anything more about the small world. At the same time, he asked Lin Mo and beautiful silk to keep it a secret. ¡°Let¡¯s go. The sacred fire spirit stone is in the depths.¡± Chapter 497 - : Red Flame Thorn Red flame thorn After getting more or less the information, the first elder led Lin Mo and the rest deep into the cave. After going deeper, Lin Mo realized that the caves were connected in all directions. Each path led to a different place. After searching for a while, his sense of direction was already very bad. Furthermore, for some unknown reason, the surrounding walls were very difficult for soul power to penetrate. ¡°It¡¯s right in front, but whether you can get it or not will depend on your luck.¡± After walking for half an hour, the surroundings became empty, and what appeared in front was a lava lake. In the lake, there were many crystals burning with flames. It contained an extremely rich flame energy, causing Lin Mo and beautiful silk to be dumbfounded. little friend, look at the platform in the middle. That¡¯s the sacred fire spirit stone. The great elder pointed to the center. Lin Mo followed his finger and saw a platform in the middle of the lake. A medium formation pattern appeared on the platform, exuding a mysterious aura. In the center of the platform was a white crystal surrounded by white flames, looking very sacred. The great elder left to look for Tang Jitong and the others, in case they encountered the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master. Lin Mo and damask were left behind, staring at the lake of script in a daze. The things floating in the lake were all fire spirit crystals, and there were so many of them, which made him apprehensive. be careful. If Tang Jitong and the others can¡¯t take away the sacred fire spirit stone, you can imagine how terrifying this formation is. Damask reminded Lin Mo to step back. She planned to test the waters first. The fire spirit crystal that was closest to them was a hundred meters away. No matter what, he had to try and see if he could get that fire spirit crystal first. ¡°Aunty, let me do it. I have the kun Peng wings, so I¡¯ll be faster.¡± Lin Mo was a little worried and wanted to try it out himself. no, let me do it. You watch carefully. Your soul power is stronger than mine. Damask shook her head and told Lin Mo to look carefully. She leaped up and quickly flew toward the crystal. Lin Mo released his soul power to be on guard against his surroundings. At the same time, he took out the Daluo divine sword. Once damask encountered an irresistible danger, he would take action. The Qi of the fire spirit crystal was getting thicker and thicker, and the beautiful silk was gradually approaching the fire spirit crystal. She had been very careful along the way, ready to fight at any time. The fire spirit crystal in front of him was also very sacred. It was shining with multicolored light and releasing the aura of flames. As he got closer, a wave of dense spirit Qi gushed into beautiful silk¡¯s body, making her feel comfortable. The spirit Qi was too pure. ¡°It¡¯s indeed worthy of being a fire spirit crystal.¡± Beautiful silk praised as she flew in front of the fire spirit crystal and reached out to grab it. From the beginning to the end, she had been on high alert. The fire spirit crystal was the size of a palm and exuded a holy aura. The flames were ignited and burned in the beautiful silk¡¯s hand. ¡°What a divine aura. If I refine it, my strength will increase.¡± Damask praised. However, even now, the so-called danger had not appeared. The surroundings were deathly silent. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. Even when the damask tulip began to retreat, there was no danger. ¡°Aunty, don¡¯t relax. Come out first.¡± He reminded the damask to speed up and fly out of the magma Lake. At this moment, the damask tulip was already less than ten meters away from the shore. It would only take an instant for him to get out. Even Lin Mo thought that there would be no more danger. However, at the lakeshore, a formation pattern appeared and a dangerous aura instantly spread. Lin Mo and damask¡¯s expressions changed at the same time. The latter charged forward with all her might, trying to fly out of the range of the formation. ¡°Pfft.¡± From the lava lake, a red vine shot out and stabbed toward damask¡¯s glabella. At the same time, the array was activated. Damask¡¯s figure paused for a moment, and in the next moment, she suddenly fell downward. ¡°A flight prohibiting formation?¡± Damask¡¯s expression changed drastically. Her body was pulled by a tremendous force, and she was about to be pierced through between her brows by the vine. At the crucial moment, she took out the glorious sun spear. The tip of the spear was extremely sharp and it shattered the vines. At the same time, with the help of the counterforce, his body rose higher and left the lake with Lin Mo¡¯s help. ¡°That was close ¡­¡± ¡°What is that thing? it¡¯s so strange.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. There was definitely a being under the lava lake that could control the formation. Furthermore, it was extremely intelligent. It knew that the damask was powerful and not easy to deal with, so it attacked at the last moment. ¡°The formation has changed. That¡¯s an attack formation.¡± Damask reminded. The formation above the lava lake changed again. It changed very quickly. This time, it was a defensive formation. The two of them tried to attack, but they found that they couldn¡¯t move it at all. One could imagine how hard it was. ¡°What a strange formation ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked because the formation changed every minute. It was a defensive formation, an offensive formation, and a flight prohibiting formation. In addition, there were also spirit gathering arrays, teleportation arrays, and sealing arrays. Each formation could last for a minute, which was very magical. the killing formation is still intact. If we get hit, we¡¯ll die for sure. After a period of observation, Lin Mo found a pattern. There was a gap in the defensive formation, through which one could enter and exit. In addition, the sealing formation and the no-fly formation also had flaws. There was a part of the area that couldn¡¯t be covered, which was definitely good for them. As long as he could escape the range of the magma before the attack formation was transformed, he would be safe. However, the most dangerous thing now was still the bottom of the lava lake. There was an unknown monster there. From all the previous signs, this fellow was extremely intelligent and was a great danger. ¡°Judging from the attack just now, it¡¯s the Scarlet Flame thorn. It seems we¡¯ve arrived at its nest.¡± Damask thought about it carefully and recalled a record she had seen in an ancient book. The Scarlet Flame thorn did not have strict growth conditions. As long as the seed was planted, it would germinate and grow. As long as it grew to a certain level, it would change the environment and turn an area into a magma Lake. Although the Scarlet Flame thistles were also at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm, its combat power would increase exponentially with the help of the environment. Since it was guarding this place now, it naturally treated the sacred fire spirit stone as its own possession and would not allow anyone to touch it. ¡°Let¡¯s find a way to lure it out first.¡± Lin Mo watched as the formation changed. When the killing formation disappeared, he entered through the gap in the defensive formation with the Daluo divine sword. ¡°BOOM!¡± He released a powerful sword Qi, lightning, and fire. He used all his strength and some of the thorns below were directly cut into pieces. The lava lake trembled, and vines flew out, piercing towards Lin Mo. ¡°Heaven-splitting sword Qi.¡± Lin Mo executed his martial arts and attacked with all his might. At the same time, damask also joined the battle. She would not allow Lin Mo to face danger alone. With the two of them working together, the Scarlet Flame thistles began to lose. A large number of thistles and vines retreated toward the area covered by the formation. Taking this opportunity, they obtained more than a dozen fire spirit crystals. However, it was already too late. They could only retreat because the killing array was about to appear. With a loud explosion, the lava lake behind them exploded. The Scarlet Flame thistle wanted to keep the two of them, but it was powerless. Chapter 498 - At the End of the Road At the end of the road After the killing array wreaked havoc for a minute, it transformed into a defensive array. upon seeing this, lin mo and damask entered again and fought with the scarlet flame thorn. they tried their best to kill it. It was a pity that the Scarlet Flame thorn was not that easy to deal with. In this battle, Lin Mo was injured. A thorn had pierced through his left shoulder, and his heart had almost been destroyed. He had retreated with heavy injuries. ¡°That was close. It was in the lava and we couldn¡¯t kill it.¡± Lin Mo frowned. They had only obtained 17 fire spirit crystals, which was far from enough compared to the sacred fire spirit stone. ¡°Don¡¯t take any more risks. It¡¯s too dangerous.¡± Beautiful silk stopped Lin Mo. Now, the fire spirit crystals in the lava lake had been dragged into the ground by the Scarlet Flame thistles, and they were not allowed to collect them. There was no way to gain anything from entering again. Unless they could defeat the Scarlet Flame thistles and obtain the sacred fire spirit stone at the same time. ¡°Damn it, if only we had the formation diagram here ¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. If he knew about the formation diagram, he would be able to break it with some time. After all, this formation was incomplete. As long as he could grasp this flaw, breaking the formation was only a matter of time. ¡°I don¡¯t think Saint burning valley has a map.¡± Beautiful silk shook her head. If they had one, they wouldn¡¯t have been in such a sorry state before. ¡°I¡¯ll try again.¡± Lin Mo did not want to give up, so he tried a few more times. However, it was still useless. He did not gain anything. On the contrary, he and damask were injured rather severely. ¡°No, we can¡¯t continue like this. If we continue like this, we¡¯ll be heavily injured. If we encounter any other danger, our holy flame¡¯s sacrifice will end early.¡± Damask stopped Lin Mo. She experimented more than ten times, but it was the same in the end. There was no way. If he wanted to get the sacred fire spirit stone, he had to get the array map near the magma Lake. ¡°We can only retreat first and think of a way later.¡± Lin Mo, who had been searching for him to no avail, was helpless and could only give up on his thoughts. The two of them memorized the route here. If they had the chance, they would come again. They must get the sacred fire spirit stone. ¡°The aura left behind by the great elder is in this passage. Let¡¯s go after him.¡± The tunnels in the cave extended in all directions, and the two had no destination, so they decided to find the people from Saint burning valley First. ¡°There¡¯s the sound of fighting.¡± Lin Mo had only advanced for a short while when he felt something strange. The flames in front of them were raging, and a fierce battle was taking place. It was Tang Jitong and the others. it could be the sect master of the hidden ghost sect, or it could be someone else. The Saint burning valley is worth befriending. No matter what, it would not hurt to help. Besides, the sect master of the hidden ghost sect was here. If they did not rely on the Saint burning valley, they might be in danger on their way back. After walking through the cave for a few minutes, the area in front of them became empty. The spatial fluctuations here were very strong, and it was a hidden area. Lin Mo and the other man walked in and realized that it was not the people from the hidden ghost sect, but the people from Saint burning valley. They were currently hunting a powerful demonic beast. It was a flood Dragon that was extremely ferocious. Under its sharp claws, it left cracks on the hard ground. ¡°Roar!¡± When it saw Lin Mo and the damask tulip, the flood Dragon roared and spat out a stone seal. The stone seal expanded, and flames filled the air. It pressed down like a mountain, as heavy as 10000 Jun. Apart from that, it violently wagged its tail and swept across. Its target was the damask precisely. ¡°Little friend Lin Mo, don¡¯t take it head on.¡± The great elder quickly reminded them when he saw Lin Mo and beautiful silk barging in. Lin Mo snorted coldly. He had just arrived and he was already attacked. This flood Dragon was truly vicious. The kun Peng wings on his back spread open and he dodged to the side hundreds of meters. As for damask, she had also sensed the opponent¡¯s strength and dodged the attack. ¡°BOOM!¡± Huge cracks appeared on the indestructible ground, and some stones flew out and were smashed into pieces. ¡°Humans, you all deserve to die.¡± The flood Dragon spoke in the human language and let out an angry roar. Its combat power was strong, and from time to time, it would take out powerful magical artifacts, making it impossible to guard against. Tang Jitong and the others were also worried about being severely injured by the flood Dragon, so they had been delayed and couldn¡¯t kill it. eh, you guys just came from the Scarlet Flame thorns. The formation was broken? ¡± The flood Dragon was confused. It could feel the aura of the Scarlet Flame thorns on the two. ¡°So what if I am?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. When Tang Jitong and the others heard this, they were stunned and looked at Lin Mo in shock. They had been there before. The Scarlet Flame thistles were not as powerful as the flood Dragon. However, the formation and the terrain gave them a headache. it¡¯s a pity. I¡¯ve been inscribing the formation map all these years, trying to break the formation and tear the pieces apart. In the end, you guys are ahead of me ¡­ The flood dragon¡¯s eyes gradually became fiery, filled with greed and desire. my friends in the dark, this person has a sacred fire spirit stone. Aren¡¯t you interested? ¡± whoever helps me today, I can guarantee that the sacred fire spirit stone will belong to you. The rest of the treasures will be equally distributed. The flood Dragon suddenly looked in several other directions and said. His words surprised Tang Jitong and the others. They spread out their soul power, but found nothing unusual. you¡¯re playing tricks. Lin Mo, let¡¯s join forces and distribute the treasures according to our contribution. The Grand Elder spoke and gave a reasonable distribution method. ¡°Then we¡¯ll listen to what first elder says.¡± Lin Mo laughed. He had no interest in the distribution. However, the flood Dragon seemed to have been studying the formation of the Scarlet Flame thorn. If he could get it, he might be able to get the complete one ¡­ ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to fight. I won¡¯t keep you company.¡± The flood Dragon didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. Tang Jitong and the others alone were too much for it to handle. Now, with the addition of the damask, a level nine expert, it did not dare to stay any longer. ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s figure flashed and appeared in front of the flood Dragon. He smiled and said, ¡± ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± The flood Dragon was furious as it clawed at Lin Mo with its sharp claws, which were powerful enough to tear open space. ¡°Ha ha, Valley chief Tang, we have also come to lend you a hand.¡± The space squirmed, and many figures appeared. It was Meng lie, elder Xuan Yao, and many other strong fighters. After they entered, they cultivated for a while before rushing to the central area. He had sensed the fluctuations of a battle in the cave and had rushed over. ¡°You guys ¡­¡± The flood Dragon was besieged and couldn¡¯t escape. ¡°It¡¯s over.¡± In the end, Lin Mo and damask blocked the flood Dragon¡¯s path of retreat and gave it the final blow. Lin Mo held the flood Dragon¡¯s huge body in his hand. After destroying its soul, he took out an interspatial ring from its abdomen. This was the flood Dragon¡¯s entire collection ¡­ hehe, first elder seemed to have mentioned that the distribution would be based on the level of contribution. Is young friend Lin Mo planning to take it all for himself? ¡± Someone said as he looked at the ring on Lin Mo¡¯s hand greedily. Lin Mo ignored it and sent his soul power into it to check the flood Dragon¡¯s collection. ¡°So many ¡­¡± Only after entering did he realize that the flood Dragon¡¯s collection was extremely rich. This place was a treasure land. After years of accumulation, one could imagine how rich it was. There were more than thirty spirit level rank nine spirit herbs ¡­ ¡°I only want this. You guys can split the rest ¡­¡± Lin Mo took out a scroll and threw out the ring ¡­ Chapter 499 - Green Sky Treasure Wheel Array Green sky treasure wheel array ¡°That¡¯s a formation-diagram?¡± Some people were puzzled. Didn¡¯t Lin Mo have a God-devouring body? he should need a treasure that was rich in energy. ¡°It¡¯s the formation map of the Scarlet Flame thorn.¡± Old man Xuan Yao could tell the truth at a glance. The crowd finally understood that Lin Mo had not obtained the sacred fire spirit stone. Tang Jitong took the ring and took out all the treasures inside, which stunned everyone. The flood Dragon¡¯s collection was really rich, enough for them to split. ¡°You¡¯ve been watching for so long, are you still not going to show yourself?¡± Suddenly, Tang Jitong looked not far away. There was a spatial Rift there. There were many such rifts, and they were formed from a recent battle. They seemed very ordinary. However, Tang Jitong¡¯s words also made everyone on the scene vigilant. This place was filled with danger, and if he was not careful, he would be eliminated and lose the opportunities that followed. ¡°Hehe, you are indeed worthy of being Valley Master Tang. Your senses are sharp.¡± A chuckle came from the crack, and a figure shrouded in black mist appeared. His appearance surprised everyone. ¡°The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master?¡± Old man Xuan Yao cried out in shock. He could not believe that the hidden ghost clan¡¯s clan master would appear here. Wasn¡¯t he a heretic practitioner? the fire attribute was extremely yang and unyielding. It was a natural nemesis for him. How could he dare to cultivate it? ¡°I just used some small tricks, there¡¯s no need to be so nervous.¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master chuckled as he slowly walked up. kid, you¡¯d better take other treasures. I need this formation map. He pointed at the scroll in Lin Mo¡¯s hand to express his attitude. Seeing that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s leader wasn¡¯t coming for them, Meng lie and the others sighed in relief. They all retreated. Since this matter had nothing to do with them, they would not get involved in this for no reason. ¡°Sir, since you¡¯ve appeared, please explain.¡± Tang Jitong stepped forward, his eyes filled with anger. ¡°Explain what?¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master smiled. you trespassed on the sacred grounds of the Saint burning valley and injured the great elder. Do you dare to say that you didn¡¯t do all these? ¡± Tang Jitong said coldly. On the other side, the great elder and the Grand Elder stepped forward and stared at the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master. Even Tang Ling took out her Dharma artifact and prepared to fight. ¡°How about I apologize?¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master laughed coldly, not caring that he was about to be surrounded. ¡°Miss damask, please join forces with us to kill this fiend.¡± The Grand Elder looked over and invited beautiful silk to join the battle. He then cupped his fists at Lin Mo and said, ¡± little friend, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master¡¯s evil cultivation technique has reached the peak. He¡¯s very strange and unpredictable. Please protect Young Valley Master Tang Ling. ¡°Hey, first elder, I¡¯m not that weak, okay?¡± Tang Ling was a little dissatisfied and glared at Lin Mo. As a junior, she had long wanted to fight with Lin Mo. It was just that he never had the chance. Now that the great elder said that he was inferior to the other party, he was naturally unhappy. ¡°Lin Mo, think about it. If you reach the pinnacle of the Nirvana stage, will you be afraid of being surrounded?¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master suddenly spoke. He looked at the damask with killing intent flickering in his eyes. This scene shocked Lin Mo. He suddenly remembered that this person was an existence that could fight against heaven demon ¡­ Who was Tian Sha? he was a genius who dominated an era. His combat strength was powerful, just like Lin Mo, Holy maiden Xia you, and the others. Such an existence was truly not afraid of being surrounded and could even retaliate. ¡°What do you want?¡± Lin Mo said. simple. Just show me the formation map. I won¡¯t take your lives for now. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master smiled, indicating that he only wanted the formation diagram. fine, I¡¯ve already memorized this formation diagram. I¡¯m planning to auction it off when I get back. If you want it, I can sell it to you on the spot. Lin Mo said with a smile. ¡°If you really want to take it by force, I¡¯d rather destroy it. Believe me, you can¡¯t catch me.¡± Lin Mo looked at the hidden ghost sect master. His heart was beating fast, but he had to pretend to be calm. If he showed any signs of weakness, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master would probably take action immediately. ¡°Auction ¡­ How much are you planning to sell it for?¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master frowned as he stared at Lin Mo. this is a live auction, and anyone can bid. The starting price is ten million medium spiritual stones. Is anyone interested? ¡± Lin Mo raised the formation diagram and looked around, only to see that everyone was silent and had no intention of bidding. ten million medium spiritual stones, right? alright, I¡¯ll give it to you. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master pondered for a while and agreed as he felt that Lin Mo¡¯s words made sense. He took out a bag of spirit stones and completed the transaction under everyone¡¯s gaze. This scene stunned the crowd. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was an evil cultivator, a devil who killed without blinking. Now, he was actually willing to auction Lin Mo¡¯s formation diagram with spirit stones. ¡°This is really surprising, is this really the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master?¡± Someone mumbled. They could tell that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was also afraid. This was not in line with his unparalleled combat strength. It was possible that he was injured. After all, the Saint burning Valley¡¯s Holy Fire had been passed down from ancient times, when all the races were in power. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master might have been burned by the Holy flame in order to enter and his battle power might have been greatly reduced. This might be an opportunity. If he killed him, his main body in the outside world would also be severely injured. This might be an opportunity. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master coldly snorted as a wave of extremely Yin and evil aura bloomed from his body. The temperature in the cave dropped instantly, and some ice shards even appeared in the air, suppressing the fire attribute. ¡°This ¡­¡± Some people were shocked and retreated, not daring to have any more ideas. Wasn¡¯t this a little too powerful? it was just an aura, yet it was able to forcefully change the surrounding environment. Was this something that a Nirvana stage practitioner could do? ¡°Kid, I have another question.¡± After intimidating some of the rascals, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Lin Mo nodded indifferently. ¡°You said that you have memorized the formation? how is that possible? this is a rank 1 Earth realm formation, and it¡¯s an incomplete one. It¡¯s even harder to figure out.¡± At this moment, everyone also came to their senses. Lin Mo said that he had memorized the formation diagram, but this was a little unbelievable. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, I have my own methods.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand indifferently. At this time, the system¡¯s voice also came late. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the incomplete rank 1 Earth realm formation map, green sky treasure wheel formation. [ successfully triggered 2000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete rank 1 Earth realm formation map, ¡± green sky treasure wheel formation ¡± The green sky treasure wheel formation was the formation controlled by the red flame thorns, and now he had the complete formation map. As long as he spent some time to refine the formation diagram, he would be able to break the formation. ¡°Interesting.¡± The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master chuckled. He looked at Lin Mo before his figure disappeared. ¡°You¡¯re Lin Mo, right? I¡¯ll let you off this time, but you won¡¯t be so lucky next time.¡± His words made Lin Mo feel a little helpless. It was a little difficult for him to deal with such a powerful being. ¡°Why does the hidden ghost sect master want that formation diagram? could it be that he wants to obtain the sacred fire spirit stone?¡± Many people were stunned and didn¡¯t understand the reason. The sacred fire spirit stone was a precious treasure to them, but it was a poison to evil cultivators. If they absorbed it forcefully, they would go into Qi deviation ¡­ Chapter 500 - Seeing the Yin Yang Lake Again Seeing the Yin Yang Lake again ¡°This formation was set up in the ancient times, but it¡¯s already in ruins.¡± ¡°I feel that other places might have similar formations.¡± Beautiful silk stood beside Lin Mo and voiced her conjecture. Many people present had heard this and felt that it was reasonable. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master shouldn¡¯t be so stupid as to absorb the sacred fire spirit stone. Of course, he might also want to use the sacred fire spirit stone to exchange for something. However, this was not important. Lin Mo had to study the formation diagram that he had just obtained. Although it was very obscure and difficult to understand, he could still barely read it. ¡°Everyone, farewell. I¡¯m going to search for good fortune.¡± The old man waved his hand and bade farewell to the crowd before flying toward a tunnel. The smell of herbs came from the passage. It could be a herb field at the end, or some kind of danger. ¡°Lin Mo, which way do you plan on going?¡± First elder came up and asked. Lin Mo shook his head. we don¡¯t have any particular goal. Perhaps we¡¯ll just take a random path. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he couldn¡¯t go to the Scarlet Flame thistles now, he would really have gone to get the sacred fire spirit stone. ¡°I see. We¡¯ll take this path. Our ancestors explored this place before and left behind some detailed maps.¡± As the great elder spoke, he took out a map and showed it to Lin Mo. This was not a secret. Some of the people who had participated in the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice in the past had also carved out maps and sold them for money. ¡°Eh, there¡¯s a Yin Yang Lake here?¡± Lin Mo pointed to a place he was familiar with. He had seen the Yin Yang Lake in a forbidden area of the Yan Huang dynasty. Furthermore, he had also obtained the Yin Yang Jade, nine neonate inner core, and many other treasures. little friend, if you¡¯re interested, you can go. However, be careful. The great elder passed the map to Lin Mo. Both parties would leave a mark on each other¡¯s body at the same time. If there was a need, they could look for each other. ¡°Goodbye, senior.¡± With that, Lin Mo and beautiful silk flew toward a cave with the map. This tunnel led to the land of yin and yang. Behind him, many people followed him and walked into different passages. This was the inner part of the volcano, where the fire element was rich. Every cave had treasures, so they didn¡¯t all go into the same cave. However, even so, there were still many people who followed Lin Mo into the place. They also knew that the Yin Yang Jade was a rare treasure. As long as they could balance their own power, it was basically impossible for them to go into Qi deviation. The cave was slightly downward, and they had been moving deeper underground. There were sparks burning in the surroundings, and the fire element was very rich. This was a fire attribute heaven. However, just as Lin Mo was reveling in the feeling, a beam of fire floated through the air and approached him silently. Lin Mo¡¯s heart instantly palpitated. He hurriedly dodged to the side, allowing the beam of fire to drift past him. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± He dodged it, but some of the people who followed him in were directly affected. Three people didn¡¯t manage to Dodge in time, and their bodies were directly cut open. One of them even died directly, and blood spurted out, touching the nerves of the people. ¡°Oh my God ¡­ It was an instant kill.¡± Someone was shocked. The man who was killed was at the peak of the seventh sky of Nirvana realm. How could he be so weak? this is a Dao law formed from flames. It can be called a divine chain of order, and it¡¯s floating here. Damask sighed softly. The fire element in this place was too rich, forming such a terrifying God sequence chain that could easily take a person¡¯s life. With this lesson, everyone was even more careful as they moved through the area. As they went deeper, the temperature in the air gradually rose, and more and more flames burned. In the end, they were already in a sea of fire, and the intense heat was so high that many people could not withstand it. ¡°Another person has retreated. You are the last one to reach the seventh sky of Nirvana stage ¡­¡± Damask looked behind her and saw that another person had chosen to retreat because he couldn¡¯t bear it. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the Yin Yang Lake? why don¡¯t I see any Yin fish or yang fish?¡± Many people were complaining. He had experienced many dangers along the way, but he had not gained any benefits. After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally saw the so-called Yin Yang Lake. The temperature here was also much more normal, no longer unbearable. that¡¯s a yang fish. It¡¯s one meter long, and it¡¯s actually so big ¡­ Damask was astonished. However, other than the yin and yang fish, there were two types of flames, one black and one white, floating on the lake. The White flames contained a terrifyingly high temperature that seemed to be able to burn through the void. The black flames were the exact opposite. Their temperature was so low that it could even freeze the soul. look at the center. That¡¯s the Yin Yang Jade, right? it actually formed by itself. Many people caught up from behind and found that there were jade stones floating in the Yin Yang Lake. They were all shocked and wanted to rush up and take all the Yin Yang Jade. this is the Yin Yang Lake. It¡¯s extremely dangerous. Take care. Lin Mo said indifferently as he walked to the other side with beautiful silk, discussing how to take the Yin Yang Jade. He raised his hand and waved, summoning a ball of black flames. The heart-palpitating flames burned in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. In an instant, his palm was frozen. This was the power of extreme Yin. Only an overwhelming prodigy would be able to withstand it. Lin Mo tried to walk into the yin-yang Lake and continued forward. Damask followed behind, worried about Lin Mo going alone. However, she soon couldn¡¯t take it anymore because the flames were too terrifying. Although she cultivated the fire and water attributes, she couldn¡¯t withstand it. After advancing a hundred meters, she could only retreat. If she didn¡¯t, she might not be able to walk out. Not far away, there were also people who tried, and miserable screams rang out. Obviously, although there were great opportunities in this place, it was also very dangerous. Those who were not strong would not be able to get through. Many people lamented. They had come all the way here with great difficulty, but in the end, they found out that they could not get any benefits. There were also a few people who were more decisive. After realizing that there was no opportunity that belonged to them, they immediately left, unwilling to stay for long. After a while, there were only five people left. Other than Lin Mo and damask, there were three other ninth heaven Nirvana stage powerhouses who were also trying to enter the Yin Yang Lake. However, they soon discovered that they couldn¡¯t go any deeper. Whether it was extreme yang or extreme Yin, they couldn¡¯t go any deeper. Lin Mo frowned. He had already reached the center of the Yin Yang Lake. With his extraordinary physical strength and the help of the God Devourer body, he had successfully arrived. ¡°Roar!¡± Roars could be heard as a few large snakes of unknown species rushed out of the Yin Yang Lake and attacked Lin Mo. ¡°I can¡¯t tell his cultivation level.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Yin Yang Lake was indeed strange. There was no nine neonate, but there was such a powerful monster. ¡°BOOM!¡± When Lin Mo attacked, flames filled the sky, Thunder roared, and the sword light of the Daluo divine sword surged, killing the snakes one after another. ¡°Is this an inner core?¡± Lin Mo grabbed it, and a few round beads appeared in his hand. They were filled with fire attribute energy. He kept it in the system space and let the system identify what kind of treasure it was. rank 5 Spirit Class, pure yang inner core. It contains violent pure yang energy. It needs a pure Yin inner core to neutralize it before it can be absorbed. Chapter 501 - The Heaven Mending Monument The heaven mending monument A pure yang inner core, a treasure he had never heard of. However, the energy contained within it made Lin Mo¡¯s heart race. If he could obtain more, he might be able to accumulate a lot of energy. His interest was piqued, and he used his spiritual energy to shake off the flames. Through the lake, he saw that there were indeed many of these large snakes below. Moreover, their colors were easy to identify. One was black and the other was white. They lived in the yin-yang Lake. After they discovered Lin Mo, they rushed towards him. ¡°Lin Mo, are you alright?¡± Damask¡¯s worried voice could be heard from the shore. She could feel the fluctuations from Lin Mo¡¯s battle. ¡°I¡¯m fine, aunty.¡± After giving a simple reply, Lin Mo continued to fight the large snakes and collected their inner cores. As for the Yin Yang Jade, Lin Mo did not touch it. There, he felt danger, but nothing unusual happened. It was just an instinct. Now that he could get benefits from killing these snakes, he planned to get as many as possible. Now, if he wanted to break through from the seventh heaven to the eighth heaven, he would need an ocean of spiritual stones. Even if he went back and devoured all the treasures in the purple Moon Palace, he wouldn¡¯t be able to break through. Therefore, he needed to get more treasures himself if he wanted to break through. A figure was walking in the black and white flames. Every time it moved, it would cause a huge battle. Lin Mo attracted many of these snakes and killed them. But in the end, even with his God devouring body, he couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. Under the siege, Lin Mo could be in danger at any time. After fighting for an entire day, he had gained a lot. In the end, he flew back with a body full of injuries. ¡°You brat, you really don¡¯t want to live ¡­¡± Damask was extremely worried. She took out a spirit medicine and applied it on Lin Mo. Only she and Lin Mo could keep the yin-yang Lake. After the other three realized that they couldn¡¯t go any deeper, they had no choice but to retreat and go somewhere else. ¡°Aunty, take these. They¡¯re very suitable for your cultivation.¡± Lin Mo said weakly. He had already reaped a bountiful harvest in just one day. There were more than a thousand pure yang and pure Yin inner cores each, which was no less than the Yin Yang Jade. ¡°I have some here, you can keep yours ¡­¡± Beautiful silk shook her head. She had not been idle the entire day. She had hunted some by the shore and had obtained a few dozen. ¡°Can we get the Yin Yang Jade?¡± She looked at Lin Mo, not understanding why he did not take the Yin Yang Jade first. ¡°There¡¯s no way to get it. Every time I get close, I can feel danger, but I don¡¯t know where it is.¡± In this day, he had tried to get close several times, but in the end, he had not succeeded. He understood that there must be some kind of formation around the Yin Yang Jade, and he could not easily set foot in it. Lin Mo shook his head. He couldn¡¯t be too greedy. He didn¡¯t want the Yin Yang Jade. In any case, the harvest here was enough, so it didn¡¯t matter if he was short on this. ¡°You should recuperate first.¡± Beautiful silk protected Lin Mo and helped him recover. During this time, the Yin Yang Lake was not peaceful. Lin Mo killed thousands of snakes in a day. It had long been chaotic inside, and all kinds of creatures with strange shapes had appeared. Some even wanted to fly out of the Yin Yang Lake to attack Lin Mo. However, these demonic beasts were very strange. Once they left the Yin Yang Lake, they would become very weak, even unable to withstand a single blow. The attacks only stopped after sending wave after wave of inner cores to damask. Then, they swam to the center and sank down with the Yin Yang Jade. No one knew what was beneath the Yin Yang Lake and where it ended. When Lin Mo was done with his recovery and wanted to continue hunting, he realized that there were no more living creatures inside. The Yin Yang Jade was gone as well. ¡°It¡¯s a pity ¡­¡± He sighed slightly. The treasures here were gone, and so was the danger. He could continue moving forward. He took out the map. Behind the Yin Yang Lake, there was a passage that led to a deeper place. They didn¡¯t encounter any danger along the way, which made the two feel a little uncomfortable. Very quickly, they discovered that they had walked out of the passageway and were no longer in the cave. ¡°Are you sure this is the depths of the volcano?¡± After passing through the cave, the two of them found that they had arrived in a primitive forest. There was a sun in the sky and clouds. There were mountains, rivers, and even some monsters and demonic beasts in the surroundings. This was like another world. It had everything one could wish for. There was not only fire element in the spiritual Qi ¡­ ¡°Could this be the hidden world of Saint burning valley?¡± Lin Mo frowned. This place was a treasure trove. The concentration of spirit Qi was more than a hundred times that of the outside world, and it was the most suitable for cultivation. eh, there¡¯s a stone tablet up ahead. Let¡¯s go over and take a look. They walked forward and discovered a stone tablet that was over ten meters tall. There were all sorts of characters and symbols carved on it. ¡°Heaven mending monument!¡± At the top of the stone tablet, there were three bold and powerful words. These three words seemed to contain infinite Dao runes, and the two of them were fascinated by them. It took them a while to come back to their senses. ¡°Aunty, have you heard of it?¡± Lin Mo asked. no, I¡¯m not even as experienced as you. If only miss Bai Luo was here ¡­ Beautiful silk spread her hands. Bai Luo came from another continent and was very knowledgeable. He might be able to recognize what this meant. Other than the three words ¡°heaven mending monument,¡± there were other words on the stone stele, but they could not understand them and could not make a decision at the moment. let¡¯s walk forward and see. Maybe we can find something. Lin Mo said. He walked around the heaven mending monument and headed deeper into the forest. Along the way, Lin Mo discovered many skeletons. Without exception, these skeletons were all Supreme experts. Their auras were terrifying, and they were all at the immortal-Foundation realm. As for which layer, no one knew. The flesh and blood on the corpse had long rotted, leaving only the bone armor that was still emitting a lustrous radiance. However, that was all there was to it. There was nothing special about this primitive forest. There were demonic beasts, but they were very weak. They were only some who had just entered the Nirvana stage. I feel that it¡¯s very calm here. It¡¯s so calm that it¡¯s a little scary ¡­ Damask suddenly said. She didn¡¯t know why, but ever since she came in, she had a kind of reverence in her heart and didn¡¯t dare to do anything out of line. This was all a subconscious action, and she didn¡¯t even realize it at first. Lin Mo, on the other hand, looked relaxed and did not feel anything different. He remained calm. ¡°Wait, someone¡¯s also coming in.¡± As he advanced, Lin Mo suddenly felt something strange. He could sense that a few familiar faces had arrived at the heaven mending monument. ¡°It¡¯s Tang Jitong and the others.¡± Damask also felt it. When they had separated, they had left a mark on each other¡¯s body to communicate. He didn¡¯t expect that they would appear in the same place. ¡°Let¡¯s go back and meet up with them.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. This place was a little strange. Perhaps Tang Jitong and the others would know something. ¡°Swish!¡± However, before they could turn around, they could already hear the sound of wind breaking behind them. Tang Jitong and the others flew over quickly, their faces full of anxiety and nervousness. When the great elder saw Lin Mo and beautiful silk, he rushed over and asked, ¡± ¡°Little friend, how did you get in? did you make any rash moves?¡± Chapter 502 - The Burial Ground The burial ground The great elder looked very nervous. Tang Jitong, the Grand Elder, and Tang Ling who came from behind were also very nervous. This left Lin Mo and beautiful silk a little stunned. ¡°First elder, what do you mean by acting rashly?¡± Lin Mo asked. From the looks of it, they seemed to have entered an extraordinary place. Could it be the inheritance land of the Saint burning valley? that¡¯s right. Did you attack? and did you disrespect those corpses? ¡± The great elder explained. ¡°First elder, don¡¯t be nervous. I don¡¯t think our young friend Lin Mo is a disrespectful person.¡± Tang Jitong laughed and comforted her. ¡°Please enlighten me, Valley master.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. He was very curious about this place. this is the burial ground of our Saint burning Valley¡¯s past powerhouses ¡­ Tang Ling hit the nail on the head and revealed a shocking piece of news. ¡°What?¡± This time, it was Lin Mo and beautiful silk¡¯s turn to be shocked. The burial ground of the previous Valley Masters was too shocking. Furthermore, why would the burial ground be in the illusionary realm, and they had even barged in? As if she could see Lin Mo¡¯s doubts, Tang Ling spread her hands and said, ¡± ¡°Logically speaking, this place is connected to the illusionary realm, but outsiders can¡¯t enter.¡± According to the rules passed down by their ancestors, if one wanted to enter, they had to cultivate the few cultivation techniques passed down in Saint burning valley. Only such a special power could pass through the restriction. However, Lin Mo and beautiful silk were definitely outsiders. How did they get in? ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. I don¡¯t know. Why don¡¯t we go out now?¡± Lin Mo quickly waved his hands. He had accidentally barged into someone¡¯s ancestral grave ¡­ ¡°God devouring body ¡­ This can¡¯t be right, there hasn¡¯t been a God Devourer body in the history of the Saint burning valley. This can¡¯t be ¡­¡± Tang Jitong muttered as he pondered how Lin Mo had entered. Even Lin Mo was curious. After some discussion, they decided to head to the exit to see if there was anything different. ¡°Eh, this place ¡­¡± When they arrived at the entrance, Lin Mo turned pale with fright, while beautiful silk looked as if she had seen a ghost. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± The two of them looked at each other in disbelief. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Tang Ling asked curiously, not understanding why the two of them were like this. ¡°Where¡¯s this stone tablet?¡± Lin Mo pointed at an empty space. When he entered, he and beautiful silk Saw a stone tablet that was more than ten meters tall. The three words heaven mending monument were carved on the top, and it was very likely its name. But now, there was nothing here. The so-called heaven mending monument was gone, not even a trace was left behind. ¡°What stele?¡± This time, it was Tang Jitong and the others ¡®turn to be confused. This was the burial ground of the Saint burning Valley¡¯s powerhouses, and the valley master would come here every year to check through the Holy Fire. There was no change here, and there was no stone tablet. Lin Mo and beautiful silk recounted their encounter. When they mentioned the heaven mending monument, Tang Jitong and the others were confused. ¡°Heaven mending monument, I¡¯ve never heard of it before. Is little friend sure you¡¯re not mistaken?¡± The Grand Elder questioned the truth of Lin Mo¡¯s words. ¡°I have no reason to lie to you ¡­¡± Lin Mo spread his hands. He didn¡¯t have any evidence. If these people really didn¡¯t believe him, then he really couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Well, since we shouldn¡¯t be here, we¡¯ll leave first.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists at the few people. He beckoned damask over, and the two of them were about to leave. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± However, before they could move, they heard a series of explosions coming from the depths of the primeval forest. The sound was like thunder. Everyone looked up and saw the space above split open. Outside, lightning was everywhere. The terrifying heaven¡¯s might spread out, causing their bodies to bend slightly and almost surrender. ¡°This ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was already in turmoil. Wasn¡¯t this the same scene he had seen when he first came to Saint burning valley? This was truly shocking. Furthermore, he and beautiful silk had entered someone else¡¯s ancestral grave, and as a result, this small world had cracked open ¡­ If he said that he did not do anything, no one would believe him ¡­ ¡°Oh,¡± Suddenly, while the few of them were in a daze, a white light lit up in the center of the primeval forest, shooting straight into the sky. there¡¯s a Scripture appearing. Is it your inheritance? aunty and I will leave first. You guys can go and receive the inheritance. Lin Mo really wanted to leave, afraid that he would bring himself some unexpected disaster. little friend, since you¡¯re able to come in, it means that you¡¯re fated with Saint burning valley. Why don¡¯t you come with us? if there¡¯s any chance, you can also get a share. The Grand Elder stopped Lin Mo and invited him with a smile. ¡°I appreciate your kind intentions, but this is your inheritance, so I won¡¯t participate.¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. If he were to go, he would not be able to explain himself. little friend, don¡¯t be nervous. Let¡¯s do it together. There must be a reason for the ancestral land to split open. We might need your help. Tang Jitong nodded and let Lin Mo and beautiful silk go together. The two of them looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other¡¯s eyes. The current situation seemed to be a little out of his control ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s difficult to refuse such kind hospitality, so this junior will shamelessly go.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and agreed to go. However, the spirit Qi in his body was already condensing and he was ready to fight at any time. I heard the Scripture. It¡¯s so abstruse and difficult to understand, but it has a natural Dao rhythm and a feeling of nature ¡­ As she went deeper, Tang Ling felt that something was wrong and heard many Scriptures being chanted in her ears. ¡°Little friend, didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± Tang Jitong looked at Lin Mo behind him. According to the records of the Holy burning valley, inheritances would appear in the ancestral land. The more talented one was, the earlier they would hear the Scriptures. This was also one of the methods they used to choose the next Valley master. ¡°I heard a little.¡± Lin Mo bit the bullet and said. In fact, when the white light appeared, he had already heard someone chanting in his ear. These Scriptures were profound and extraordinary. After listening to them, he suddenly understood some of the obscure parts of the Dao laws of fire and lightning. He had gained a lot, but he could only endure it and not let himself show it. as long as you¡¯ve gained something. The Saint burning valley will not neglect our guests. Tang Jitong chuckled and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°I¡¯ve also heard some ¡­¡± Damask secretly transmitted her voice to Lin Mo. They were about to pass through the forest and reach the deepest part. Damask was also very talented. In addition, the immortal Ascension pill improved her physique, and she enjoyed all kinds of natural treasures. After the bone cleansing, even if her talent was not as good as those geniuses, she was not weak. ¡°Calm your heart and comprehend, but don¡¯t show it.¡± Lin Mo said. As they went deeper, Tang Jitong and the others also more or less felt it, and the number of bones here gradually increased. Lin Mo was shocked. The more bones there were, the more terrifying the inheritance of Saint burning valley was. There were experts in every generation. Although it was not invincible, it could protect a world. ¡°We¡¯re here. Eh, these praying mats?¡± They reached the depths, and in the center, there was a palm-sized green flame floating. There were six futons in front of them, each of which had the auras of Lin Mo and the others. It was as if it was specially prepared for them. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Chapter 503 - The Gods Listen to the Decision The gods listen to the decision Tang Jitong was shocked. This futon was obviously prepared by the Holy flame. However, Lin Mo and beautiful silk were outsiders. It was impossible for the Holy flame not to know about them. Yet, they had prepared futons for them. ¡°This ¡­ That¡¯s not good.¡± Lin Mo blushed with shame. What was the Holy flame doing? why was it so eager to give him an opportunity? Wouldn¡¯t this make him hated by Saint burning valley? He could already feel the killing intent in the Grand elder¡¯s eyes. If he really took the inheritance, he would not be able to walk out of Saint burning valley ¡­ ¡°Buzz.¡± All of a sudden, the Holy Fire in front of them began to flash, and six God sequence chains actually appeared. There were dense rules of the great Dao on it, making everyone apprehensive. Especially Tang Jitong, Grand Elder, and first elder, the inheritance of the Holy flame was not like this. There was only one reason for the current situation, and that was that the Holy flame had awakened and was no longer sleeping. ¡°It¡¯s not my fault ¡­¡± Lin Mo still wanted to explain, but he was quickly suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth. He was forced to sit on the futon and could not move. ¡°This is the¡± cloud piercing four techniques ¡°of the Vermillion Bird incomplete technique.¡± He was shocked. He knew how to use the cloud-splitting four moves, and he could use it to condense the divine flames of the Vermilion Bird. It was also because of this that he was able to control the Dao laws of fire so quickly and reach the peak. ¡°Ah, I thought that I would be able to obtain some benefits. I know how to do this ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed, but this was good. The news that he knew the cloud piercing four potions had spread far and wide, and the people of Saint burning valley only needed to ask around. This way, he would not be hated since he did not get the inheritance of Saint burning valley ¡­ ¡°God devouring body ¡­ You ¡­ I can¡¯t break through to immortal-Foundation!¡± At that moment, an intermittent voice appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Mo, who was still listening to the Dao voice, suddenly trembled. Who was this person that was cursing him for no reason? ¡°It¡¯s not a curse ¡­ This place ¡­ I don¡¯t have enough resources ¡­¡± Lin Mo sensed the intermittent voices and opened his eyes abruptly to look at the Holy flame. The light green flame flickered and was very weak, as if it would be extinguished at any time. ¡°You¡¯re the Saint fire of Saint burning valley?¡± He was dumbstruck. Could it be that the reason he could enter was because of the Holy flame? ¡°Heaven mending monument!¡± The Holy flame¡¯s voice sounded again. ¡°Are you saying that the heaven mending monument allowed me to enter?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Now, the questions in Lin Mo¡¯s heart increased. What was this heaven mending monument? Also, why did it let him in and then disappear? ¡°Do you know how many resources I need to consume to break through to immortal-Foundation?¡± Lin Mo asked again. However, he did not get a response. Instead, he felt a wave of dizziness in his mind. ¡°The cultivation technique¡± gods hearing Divine Art,¡±this is the heaven mending monument¡¯s gift to you.¡± The Holy flame¡¯s final voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears before he fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, a huge stone tablet appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness. Upon seeing the other party, Lin Mo instantly sobered up and asked, ¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°I am the heaven mending monument!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not asking about this ¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. He did not ask for her name. ¡°Two choices!¡± Lin Mo did not have the time to ask any more questions before the heaven mending monument¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Cripple the God Devourer body and cultivate the gods hearing decree.¡± ¡°Leave the eastern Peninsula. I¡¯ll send you away. The calamity of the eastern Peninsula has nothing to do with you.¡± Lin Mo scratched his head at the two inexplicable sentences as he looked at the heaven mending monument. To be honest, he was very tempted by the ¡± gods ¡®hearing decree ¡± in his mind, because this cultivation method had no grade. However, it was definitely a heaven grade technique, and one of the top cultivation techniques. If he could auction it off, what grade of cultivation technique would he be able to obtain? it was so tempting ¡­ However, it was obvious that no force in the eastern continent could afford it, so he could only give up. why do you have to destroy it? you gave me the cultivation technique, so you probably don¡¯t want to harm me. Then why do you want to destroy my Constitution? ¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Could it be that just because the sacred flame said that he had no way to break through to immortal-Foundation, he had to be crippled? you¡¯re breaking through to immortal-Foundation, so you have to devour two-thirds of the resources in the eastern continent. At that time, the entire Eastern continent will be destroyed. The heaven mending monument said. Lin Mo had the ability to obtain these resources, but he would also destroy the eastern continent at the same time. ¡°You want this much?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He was now at the seventh heaven, and he had already sensed the medium spiritual stones he needed to break through to the eighth heaven. It was about seventy billion, an astronomical figure. And the nine Heavens was even more terrifying. The number was immeasurable. As for immortal Foundation, he had never thought of it, but it would definitely not be low. Perhaps what the heaven mending monument said was right ¡­ ¡°Wait, I think there¡¯s a third option ¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly said. He had thought of an idea. ¡°Speak!¡± After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Mo said, ¡± give me the gods ¡®decree and help me auction it off in other continents. The resources I get will be enough for my cultivation. The thought of auctioning off the ¡°gods¡± decree ¡°had been lingering in his mind since the moment it appeared. ¡°Do you know what the¡± gods ¡°hearing decree¡± represents? you actually want to auction it off?¡± The heaven mending monument¡¯s tone gradually became unfriendly, and Lin Mo could even feel a killing intent. only the people of the eastern continent can cultivate it. Besides, those who did not participate in this disaster can¡¯t cultivate it. When Lin Mo heard the word ¡®calamity¡¯, he thought of many things, including the crack that had just appeared in the sky and the crack that had appeared when he first arrived at Saint burning valley. The so-called calamity was probably referring to this ¡­ this is the cultivation method of the gods hearing Divine Art. If you spread it out, you¡¯ll destroy your body constitution and start cultivating again. ¡°Unless you don¡¯t obtain the resources needed to break through from the eastern continent, you can only re-cultivate.¡± ¡°Good luck!¡± A mysterious scroll appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. When the heaven mending monument uttered the last four words, he felt a bone-chilling coldness. The meaning was clear. If Lin Mo did not re-cultivate, the heaven mending monument would probably kill him ¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so ruthless ¡­¡± Lin Mo was jolted awake and realized that he was no longer in enlightenment. The futon he was sitting on had withered and had no spiritual energy. The Holy flame in front of him was still swaying in the wind, not moving at all. ¡°For xiyue to cultivate?¡± Lin Mo thought for a while and found people suitable for cultivation. Bai Luo might have participated in the calamity, but she was not from the eastern continent. Lin die had her own legacy level cultivation technique and did not need this. After thinking about it, it seemed like only Jiang xiyue could cultivate other than him. As for crippling his God devouring body, that was impossible. He would not give up his power. At most, he could just auction off more than half of the resources in the eastern Peninsula. At that time, it would be enough for him to break through. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± At this moment, the people around Lin Mo gradually woke up. Tang Jitong and the others looked at the Holy flame in front of them with bitter faces and did not speak for a long time. When they were receiving the inheritance, they had also received the order of the Holy flame to not make things difficult for them ¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t make things difficult ¡­ Could it be that the Holy flame allowed these two to enter? but, why?¡± Tang Ling was a little unwilling. She widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Mo. Chapter 504 - The Ownership of the Cultivation Method The ownership of the cultivation method She believed that the reason why the Holy flame allowed Lin Mo to enter was because of his talent. Could it be that her talent was not as good as Lin Mo¡¯s ¡­ ¡°Cough, cough, this has nothing to do with me.¡± Lin Mo touched his nose, feeling a little awkward being stared at like that. This wasn¡¯t done by your holy flame, but by the heaven mending monument, that mysterious existence. Even now, Lin Mo still could not understand why. ¡°Little friend, what inheritance did you get?¡± Tang Jitong walked over, curious about Lin Mo¡¯s inheritance. Lin Mo did not dare to delay. He stood up and bowed.¡±Thank you for your help, Valley master. However, what I obtained was an incomplete technique of the ancient Vermillion Bird,¡± cloud piercing four strikes.¡±¡± He was a little depressed that he had obtained a spell technique that he already had. As for the ¡°gods¡± hearing decree,¡±he didn¡¯t say much. In any case, this item was given by the heaven mending monument, not the inheritance of the sacred flame. ¡°What about miss damask?¡± Tang Jitong looked at damask who was beside him. ¡°Great sky burning art.¡± Damask¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. This was an extremely powerful cultivation technique. Rank 9 Earth Class, one of the most powerful inheritances of the Saint burning valley from the ancient times ¡­ At the same time. she was also. little nervous. Would the people of Saint burning valley turn against her now? ¡°Haha, I just got this cultivation technique.¡± Tang Jitong laughed out loud, just like what damask got. However, he then looked at damask with a serious expression and said, ¡± miss damask, please don¡¯t tell anyone about this, including your descendants. Please. His attitude was so good that damask was a little confused. Was this the heart of the valley master of the Saint burning valley? his family¡¯s legacy cultivation technique had been obtained by an outsider, and he was actually not angry ¡­ ¡°We received guidance from the sacred flame. It was it that allowed you to enter.¡± since it¡¯s fate, and we, the Saint burning valley, have the ability to befriend the purple Moon Palace, if you don¡¯t mind, we can keep in touch. After a series of explanations, damask finally felt at ease and could cultivate the great heaven burning skill without worry. After the inheritance of the Holy flame ended, the few of them left and returned to the cave. With the help of Tang Jitong and the others, Lin Mo successfully cracked the blue sky treasure wheel formation with the complete formation map. The Scarlet Flame thorn was much weaker than the flood Dragon, so it was killed by them. Lin Mo had also successfully obtained the sacred fire spirit stone. This trip could be considered a fruitful one. ¡°Strange, did the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master really leave?¡± The group returned to the starting point where they had first entered the illusion. There were still a few people cultivating here. They had been staying here and did not take any risks. ¡°Greetings, Valley Master Tang.¡± It had been half a year since the opening of the Holy flame¡¯s sacrifice. Many of them had left Saint burning valley a long time ago. The next time they came would be a hundred years later. ¡°Half. year has passed. So fast ¡­¡± Lin Mo felt that it was a little strange. The inheritance might be the one that wasted the most time. However, it seemed like he had only chatted a little with the heaven mending monument. Why did half a year pass by just like that? alright, the illusionary realm is about to close. Let¡¯s leave. Tang Jitong said, and their bodies gradually blurred. The surrounding environment also became illusionary, and with a wave of dizziness, when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to reality. There were only a few people scattered around the altar. The rest were either in the guest rooms of the Saint burning valley or had already left. ¡°Lin Mo, what are your plans?¡± The great elder walked over and personally received Lin Mo and beautiful silk. let¡¯s go back quickly and hold an auction. I¡¯ll invite the great elder to come and visit. Lin Mo chuckled. After getting so many good things, he naturally had to go back and hold an auction. Moreover, he still had a big problem to deal with. How should he use the ¡°gods hearing decree¡± of unknown grade to maximize his benefits? Of course, the premise of all this was to ensure that he was not destroyed by the heaven mending monument. ¡°Why don¡¯t we set off today?¡± let¡¯s go, ¡± the great elder said bluntly. He had called Tang Ling over to go to the purple Moon Palace with Lin Mo. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master¡¯s whereabouts were strange, and they didn¡¯t know when he would appear to attack them. The great elder had followed along with the intention of protecting Lin Mo. At the very least, why did the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master appear this time and only take an incomplete formation diagram scroll with him? This was very abnormal. They were worried that the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master would stop Lin Mo and beautiful silk on the way. ¡°Uh ¡­ The few of us don¡¯t seem to be his match ¡­¡± Although he did not want to admit it, Lin Mo could only say this. His current realm was not high enough, while damask and first elder¡¯s combat strength was far from enough. don¡¯t worry, the Saint burning valley has some tricks up our sleeves. It won¡¯t be a problem to protect you. First elder reassured Lin Mo and sent three earth rank spirit herbs to pay back what he had owed Lin Mo. Although everyone had set off through the teleportation formation, they were careful all the way and finally returned to the purple Moon Palace safe and sound. ¡°You¡¯re talking about the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master? I met him half a month ago. I don¡¯t know what he did, but he was severely injured and almost lost his life.¡± In the purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo had wanted to ask Tian Sha to see what the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was doing, but he had received such an answer. Saint burning valley is not simple. I¡¯m surprised you¡¯re friends with them. Tian Sha said in surprise. Even she did not have the privilege of being personally sent off by the great elder of Saint burning valley. After chatting for a while, Lin Mo called Jiang xiyue and Bai Luo over. how is it? where are the sacred fire spirit stones? ¡± Bai Luo said directly. Now that half a year had passed, Xiao die could break through the suppression at any time. ¡°Yes, but there¡¯s one more thing I want to discuss with you ¡­¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a while before deciding to discuss how to deal with the ¡®gods¡¯ decree¡¯. ¡°It goes without saying. You should cultivate it yourself. Although the spirit devouring technique of the God devouring body isn¡¯t weak, don¡¯t you know its disadvantages?¡± Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo and did not know what to say. The ¡°gods hearing Divine Art¡± was a natural cultivation technique, and she could see the mystery of it at a glance. No matter what, there was no harm in cultivating it. where did you get this from? how could the eastern continent have such an inheritance ¡­ She felt that it was unreal and envied Lin Mo¡¯s luck. She said that if she could cultivate, she would not hesitate at all ¡­ ¡°But I don¡¯t want to give up on the God devouring body.¡± Lin Mo had no choice but to give it to Jiang xiyue to cultivate, but he was rejected. ¡°Breaking through to immortal-Foundation has always been a problem for you. Now that you can solve it, why don¡¯t you cultivate?¡± Jiang xiyue said in dissatisfaction. She was very touched that Lin Mo was willing to give her such a precious cultivation technique. However, she was not a greedy woman. Lin Mo needed this cultivation technique more than she did. Bai Luo, if I join your family, can you provide me with the resources for my breakthrough? ¡± Lin Mo looked at Bai Luo and asked. you and xiyue, take Xiaodie with you. Swear on your Dao heart that you can provide it. Bai Luo said with certainty. It was not that she did not trust Lin Mo and the other two, but to give her family an explanation, a Dao heart oath was unavoidable. Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡± ¡°I have a plan.¡± A month later, a piece of news spread quietly in the eastern land. An auction that was beyond the previous ones would be held in the Ziyue Palace ¡­ Chapter 505 - Wind and Clouds Gather in Hailing City ¡°You¡¯re really not afraid of being robbed ¡­¡± In the Ziyue Palace, Lin Mo and the others were sitting in a small courtyard. They were having some food and drinking. Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo helplessly as he ate the delicacies. It had been two months since Lin Mo had participated in the Holy Fire worship. Hailing city had expanded by nearly three times, and the number of people was comparable to the Imperial City of a divine dynasty. Other than a few who had moved over, most of the buildings were temporary ones built by the major forces. the reason was naturally because of lin mo¡¯s publicity. In the beginning, they only announced that there would be a large-scale auction, which would be more than the past. However, after Lin Mo released the ¡®gods¡¯ decree¡¯, the entire Eastern continent went into a frenzy. Even though Lin Mo had only circulated the first few Scriptures ¡­ However, this still caused an uproar, and the leaders of all forces came one after another. In fact, Holy maiden Xia you had even come personally, intending to buy the cultivation technique at a price that Lin Mo could not refuse. ¡°The bold die from overeating, the timid die from hunger.¡± Lin Mo said nonchalantly as he picked up a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth. ¡°If we can succeed, then I will be able to continue my closed-door cultivation and directly reach the immortal-Foundation realm.¡± The temptation was not small, and it was worth taking the risk. then you could have asked for more resources. Why did you have to do this ¡­ Bai Luo frowned. In the past two months, her family had used a special method to cross the endless void and send over a batch of cultivation resources. Lin Mo and Jiang xiyue had also taken Dao heart vows to join the Bai Luo family and become the Bai family¡¯s juniors. As for Lin die, she was already close to a breakthrough but was still lacking a little. She could make an oath after she came out of seclusion. This was a treasure that couldn¡¯t possibly exist in the eastern continent. It contained an ocean of energy, and as long as one consumed it, they would be able to perfectly step into the immortal Foundation realm. What Lin Mo needed to do now was to gather the resources needed to break through to the 9th sky of Nirvana stage. ¡°ah, i hope your plan works ¡­¡± Now that things had come to this, Bai Luo had no way to stop it. He could only go according to Lin Mo¡¯s plan. According to the plan, the auction would be held and the gods hearing decree would be sold. they told the public that someone else had put it up for auction and jiang xiyue had bought it with the treasure. According to the heaven mending monument¡¯s introduction to Lin Mo, it would take one day to cripple one¡¯s body, turn it back into a mortal body, and start cultivating again. It could not be interrupted. The purple Moon Palace had been spending resources to set up the formation in these two months. It was provided by Bai Luo. It was basically impossible to break a rank 1 Earth realm formation. Unless it was someone like Tian Sha or the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, but even so, it would still take some time. ¡°However, you¡¯ve cultivated the¡± gods ¡°hearing decree.¡± I¡¯m afraid the Bai family won¡¯t allow you to go out as you please ¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at Jiang xiyue apologetically. After all, Bai Luo was only a junior in the family, and he could not make decisions for important matters. For example, the Bai family had sent someone to take Jiang xiyue away after hearing the news. Furthermore, the appearance of such a heaven-defying technique had also made them pay attention to the eastern continent. They did not allow Bai Luo to stay any longer. Although Bai Luo was strongly against it, in the end, he managed to win Lin Mo over to stay in the eastern continent while the rest of the people had to leave. Perhaps they subconsciously thought that the cultivation of the God devouring body required too many resources, and even they couldn¡¯t afford it in the later stage. Jiang xiyue smiled. Compared to what Lin Mo had done for her, her suffering was nothing. it was the soldiers of the purple moon palace who had it tough. they could only cultivate in the palace. ¡°By the way, why aren¡¯t you breaking through to the 8th sky of Nirvana stage? why are you having dinner with us?¡± Lin Mo turned his gaze to Bai Luo. This guy was still mysterious even now. She seemed to have a mortal body, but her cultivation speed was strange. Every time Lin Mo broke through, she would quickly catch up. It was as if breaking through to the next realm was a common occurrence for her. ¡°I¡¯ll naturally break through on the day of the auction.¡± Bai Luo said without a care. ¡°But you, you¡¯re the most unstable one.¡± Bai Luo and Jiang xiyue looked at Lin Mo at the same time. Jiang xiyue¡¯s cultivation would definitely rise as long as she had successfully cultivated the gods ¡®will. the eighth firmament of the nirvana realm was not a problem, and bai luo was confident that he could break through. However, things were different for Lin Mo. He had a lot of resources and more than half of the purple Moon Palace¡¯s reserves. As long as the auction went on smoothly, he could break through to cloud eight within a day. ¡°just trust me.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. The news of the cultivation method had spread, and the major forces would definitely be tempted. At that time, they would bring all kinds of treasures to the auction to exchange for spirit stones. This was exactly what Lin Mo needed. If he auctioned off these, he would be able to earn a lot of return, which would be enough to help him break through. ¡°Everything is under control.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo raised the glass on the table and drained it in one gulp. These days, there were many visitors to the purple Moon Palace. Holy maiden Xia you came personally to ask Lin Mo who was the one who put it up for auction. However, Lin Mo did not reveal any of this and arranged for his men to stay in hailing city. On the other hand, the great elder of Saint burning valley had come to Lin Mo many times to ask about the gods hearing decree. In the end, Lin Mo had to swear that the cultivation method did not come from the inheritance of the Holy flame. Only then did he let the matter rest. however, it was also because of this that he knew that the ¡®gods¡¯ decree ¡®was lin mo¡¯s. In hailing city, the moon Pavilion auction house held auctions every day. Every time, it would be like a market, and the number of treasures put up for auction was countless. Lin Mo had taken over all of these, and because of this, Lin Mo¡¯s system space had many more treasures. On this day, Lin Mo held an auction as usual, but some people began to feel dissatisfied. Humph, your Purple Moon Palace has a good plan. You released a book of illusory cultivation methods to attract people in the world. Is your purpose to earn our spiritual stones? ¡± With someone taking the lead, the auction became noisy. There were even people who were already holding onto their weapons. If Lin Mo did not give an explanation, Yue Xuan would probably be smashed by these people. ¡°The auction of the cultivation technique will naturally be placed at the end. If you have any doubts, you¡¯ll have to wait until half a month later.¡± Lin Mo stood on the stage and said coldly. So many people had come to hailing city, and there was indeed a problem. But fortunately, they could still suppress it. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, you¡¯ve never shown us any cultivation technique from the beginning to the end. You only showed us a section of runes, which is very hard for us to believe.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, vice Palace Lord, please take out your cultivation technique.¡± or is it that the cultivation technique is still in the hands of the person who put it up for auction? why don¡¯t the Vice Palace Master invite him out and let him prove it? ¡± Many people agreed, and their voices grew louder and louder. They would not stop until they saw the cultivation technique today. ¡°Everyone, I think we shouldn¡¯t wait any longer. Let¡¯s attack together and kill Lin Mo. We¡¯ll take his treasures.¡± Suddenly, someone secretly transmitted a message, spreading the voice with spirit Qi. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned cold as he looked ahead. Many of these people were filled with killing intent, and they came with ill intentions. Many creatures had gathered in hailing city. There were demonic beasts, demons, men and women, and all kinds of them. However, there was one point that no one could refute. Everyone¡¯s strength was above the fifth sky of Nirvana stage. Chapter 506 - The Appearance of the Remnant of the Immortal Sutra The appearance of the remnant of the immortal Sutra The atmosphere in the moon Pavilion auction house became tense all of a sudden, and many people were hostile towards Lin Mo. There were even some who didn¡¯t even bother to hide their killing intent. As long as someone made a move, they wouldn¡¯t hesitate. In response, Lin Mo¡¯s cold gaze only lasted for a moment. He calmed down and said indifferently, ¡± why do you need to encourage others? if you want to make a move, just come. I¡¯ll take it. ¡°Hehe, are you underestimating your fellow Daoists here?¡± Someone sneered in the dark. The voice came from the void, making it difficult for people to determine where it came from. Lin Mo, many people know that you have the God devouring body. Did you encounter a bottleneck in your cultivation? is that why you came up with such a move to cheat everyone of their spirit stones? ¡± what are you all waiting for? we¡¯ve all been deceived. Let¡¯s attack together and kill him. We can even obtain the four incomplete techniques of the ancient divine beasts. This person secretly incited disharmony, and there were others who echoed and cooperated with him. However, no matter what he said, the people in the field did not move. They were not fools and naturally would not be used as a weapon. Even though he had only heard of it, he did not dare to underestimate Lin Mo. There were some legends about the God Devourer body in the eastern continent, and every one of them had terrifying combat strength. you¡¯re just a sneaky thing. If you have the guts, then try it. Lin Mo said coldly. He spread out his spiritual power to check that person¡¯s position. ¡°Four incomplete immemorial divine beast techniques, aren¡¯t you guys tempted? as long as you attack, the moon Pavilion¡¯s formation can¡¯t stop us.¡± That person continued to incite the crowd, and there were already quite a few people who were tempted. In an instant, the moon Pavilion auction house was enveloped in a cold atmosphere. It was obvious that someone had already made a move. Once someone made a move, this place would be in chaos. in the backstage, keixiang, duanmu jia, and the others ¡°expressions changed drastically. the account books that they were checking also fell to the ground. The people gathered here were all experts. If they really fought, hailing city would be destroyed. In fact, if Lin Mo was at a disadvantage, even some reclusive old monsters would make a move. On the stage, Lin Mo focused his gaze forward. His soul power spread out and finally locked onto a place. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve finally found you ¡­¡± the daluo divine sword appeared in his hand, and the sword qi buzzed, causing those who wanted to attack to wake up. Lin Mo¡¯s strength was not something they could face. At that moment, Lin Mo had already walked to a corner of the hall. He fixed his eyes on an ordinary-looking middle-aged strong man. He looked very simple and honest. Just from his appearance, one could not tell that he was meticulous. ¡°You ¡­ I didn¡¯t say that.¡± The brawny man¡¯s expression changed drastically. He did not expect Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual power to be so terrifying that he would be able to discover that he was the one behind this. ¡°Oh,¡± When he saw Lin Mo raise the Daluo divine sword, he quickly took out a sharp sword to meet Lin Mo¡¯s attack. He displayed his martial arts, planning to fight Lin Mo to the death. However, he was too weak. Lin Mo¡¯s palm dispersed his martial arts and the Daluo divine sword slashed down. There was a line of blood between his eyebrows. In the end, his entire body was split open and he fell into a pool of blood. ¡°Bang!¡± the sound of the body falling down touched everyone¡¯s nerves. after all, this man was at the seventh sky of nirvana stage. However, it could not last more than two moves against Lin Mo before it was cut down. Such a scene shocked many people. Some of them who had planned to attack broke out in cold sweat, worried that Lin Mo would cause trouble for them. The effect was immediate. The scene quieted down, and the so-called voices of proof disappeared. However, in the face of such a matter, the private rooms at the very front remained silent. Naturally, they did not believe that these scattered soldiers could deal with Lin Mo. ¡°Master, you should go back to the purple Moon Palace first.¡± From behind, Duanmu Jia walked up and ordered people to clean up the scene. At the same time, she said worriedly. Hailing city was not safe. There might be old monsters who could not help but want to kill Lin Mo at any time. it¡¯s fine. They just want a proof. Just give it to them. Lin Mo chuckled and returned to the auction stage, attracting the attention of the crowd. They had all heard the conversation just now. Did Lin Mo really have such a heaven-defying cultivation technique ¡­ ¡°Wait ¡­ This aura ¡­¡± The doors of the private rooms opened one after another, and several experts walked out with terrifying auras. They were all staring at Lin Mo. To be more precise, he was staring at the scroll in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that they still had a trace of rationality left, they would have even tried to snatch it. From the scroll, they could sense an aura that surpassed their own. This was an aura that transcended the quality of their bodies, an aura that belonged to immortal-foundation experts. ¡°This young friend, is that the mysterious cultivation technique in your hands?¡± An old man asked, his breathing heavy. His body trembled as he forced himself to remain calm, but he couldn¡¯t suppress it any longer. unfortunately, it¡¯s not. The real cultivation technique is stored in the Ziyue Palace and is not suitable to be displayed. Lin Mo shook his head. These words disappointed many people. They thought that they had seen a cultivation technique that did not belong to this era. ¡°Brother Lin, where did you get this scroll?¡± Holy maiden Xia you walked out of the private room at the front and looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Are you willing to sell this item? I¡¯m willing to use luck Dao grass to exchange for it.¡± Saintess Xia you immediately made a bid, wanting to buy it. ¡°I got this by chance. I don¡¯t know where it came from, but I¡¯m sure it¡¯s a fragment of an immortal Sutra.¡± ¡°It contains the secrets of the immortal Ascension platform. Only those at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm can see it. It¡¯s very valuable.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. One luck Dao grass was not enough to purchase this incomplete immortal Sutra. ¡°Then what¡¯s the connection between this immortal scroll and cultivation method?¡± Someone asked. ¡°There¡¯s no connection.¡± Lin Mo shook his head again, causing many people to be confused. I¡¯m sure you all know the value of this item. It will be auctioned in ten days. ¡°The auction of the cultivation technique will be on the eleventh day, whether you believe it or not.¡± Lin Motan said. If one did not believe that there was a cultivation technique, they could come and buy this remnant scroll of the immortal Sutra. He had already taken this out. After that, Lin Mo swaggered out of the moon Pavilion. He had to go back now that the immortal Sutra had appeared. He had to make people think that he had left the immortal Sutra in the Ziyue Palace. However, the moment he stepped out, Lin Mo felt a great sense of danger. ¡°Step back and activate the formation.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He told Duanmu Jia and Huixiang behind him to hide. As for himself, he spread out the kun Peng wings in an instant. ¡°Swish!¡± The Golden wings took him flying. The moon Pavilion¡¯s great formation was activated, and a layer of protective shield appeared. The next moment, a terrifying explosion occurred at the spot where Lin Mo had been standing. The earth trembled. The moon Pavilion was fine, but the street in front of it was destroyed. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He had just come out. Was he that impatient? ¡°Oh,¡± What responded to him was a huge bag made of an unknown beast¡¯s skin. Runes flickered on it, and it was extremely dazzling. ¡°It¡¯s a heaven-earth bag, but not only can it store things, it¡¯s also a powerful magic tool.¡± Below, many people heard the movement and used their spiritual senses to check. They exclaimed when they found the treasure in the sky. The heaven-earth pouch had many uses. The weakest heaven-earth pouch was made from the skin of ordinary demonic beasts and could only be used for storage. Some heaven-earth bags made of heaven-defying materials could contain all things in the world. In the ancient times, there were even legends of heaven-earth bags made of divine beasts that could swallow the sky and the earth. Chapter 507 - The Hidden Ghost Sect Takes Action The hidden ghost sect takes action When Lin Mo was attacked, that person took out a treasure in the dark and wanted to capture Lin Mo. Perhaps he didn¡¯t believe in the existence of cultivation techniques, which was why he had an idea when he saw Lin Mo take out the remnant of the immortal Sutra. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Lin Mo snorted coldly, and the Daluo divine sword burst with intense sword Qi, releasing the heaven-splitting sword Qi. A terrifying fluctuation spread out as lightning and flames wreaked havoc on the heaven and earth bag. It was as if a chain reaction had occurred. Many more treasures appeared in the dark, ready to attack Lin Mo. On the purple Moon Palace¡¯s side, beautiful silk and Luo Haoyu noticed the abnormality and came to the rescue. However, they were also blocked. Someone had secretly joined forces to hold them back. it seems like it has been planned for a long time. Is it a force that is making a move? ¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He had thought that these experts would join forces, but it did not seem that simple. ¡°Brother Lin, do you need our help?¡± Down below, Xia you and a few others were watching, not showing any intention of attacking. If Lin Mo asked for help, she would not mind helping him. If she brought people to help Lin Mo, Lin Mo would owe her a favor. ¡°Holy maiden, you don¡¯t need to interfere. I can handle it.¡± Lin Mo laughed. Naturally, he would not let Holy maiden Xia you make a move. He held the Daluo divine sword to resist these treasures, but what he was most concerned about was the heaven and earth bag in the air. It was a precious treasure, and its grade was probably not low. If he could snatch it and auction it off, the return-profit treasure would definitely not be weak. a rank 7 Earth Class sword. You have a lot of opportunities. Someone praised in secret as he saw through the origin immortal sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°You cowardly rat, come out if you have the ability.¡± die! Lin Mo shouted as he slashed out with his heaven-splitting sword Qi, destroying one treasure after another. After the battle, only the Qiankun bag of unknown grade and the three earth-grade magic tools remained intact. However, their Masters did not dare to show themselves, so they were all suppressed by Lin Mo. At this time, they could not even retreat. The roles of hunter and prey had changed. Now, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to collect the Three Treasures. as expected of the God Devourer body. His current strength is already at the peak of the seventh heaven, no weaker than the Saint ¡­ Beside Holy maiden Xia you, an old man sighed. Holy maiden Xia you had been cultivating and comprehending the Dao in the core region of the divine Secrets Holy Land. It was also because of this that she could quickly break through to the seventh heaven and approach the eighth heaven. However, he did not expect that Lin Mo¡¯s realm was also close to his. He clearly needed more resources for his cultivation ¡­ if we let him continue with the auction, he will soon break through to the eighth heaven ¡­ I¡¯m here, ¡± Xia you said calmly, as if she was talking about something insignificant. However, her words caused the expressions of the elders beside her to change greatly. Lin Mo was about to break through to cloud eight, but the saintess still had to stabilize her realm and not break through. Didn¡¯t that mean ¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. Everyone has their own cultivation method. I¡¯m just temporarily ahead of everyone. The first immortal-Foundation expert in the eastern continent will definitely be me.¡± Xia you said, her voice full of confidence. Although Lin Mo had surprised her, that was all. The God devouring body breaking through to immortal-Foundation wasn¡¯t that simple. ¡°Hurry up and attack. Lin Mo has a fragment of the immortal Sutra. Don¡¯t you want it?¡± The person controlling the treasure in the dark spoke, wanting to encourage others to attack. His words were effective because damask and Luo Haoyu were stopped. Bai Luo and Jiang xiyue, who had rushed over from behind, were also stopped by someone. Those people seemed to have been prepared for this. They had set up a formation in advance to trap Bai Luo and Jiang xiyue. ¡°Green sky treasure wheel formation, people of the hidden ghost sect!¡± Lin Mo was the first to notice the abnormality. He was very familiar with the way the other party set up the formation. It was the green sky treasure wheel formation that he had once auctioned off. ¡°It¡¯s just an incomplete formation. Lin Mo, hold on for a while. We¡¯ll break it now.¡± Bai Luo said coldly. Trouble had indeed come, but now was not the time to talk. what are you waiting for? all the high-end combat forces of the purple Moon Palace are being held back. Our sect master is also holding off tiansha. You are all useless. An old man appeared from the dark, unable to hold back any longer. He was at the ninth sky of the Nirvana stage, and his spiritual energy was blood-red in color, carrying a chilling force. There was no way to hide anymore. Furthermore, if he did not show himself, Lin Mo would take away his treasure. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s surround and kill Lin Mo!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, the eastern continent is about to give birth to an immortal Foundation expert. The remnant immortal Scriptures are a gift from the heavens to us. Those who are fated to learn of it should know that they shouldn¡¯t belong to Lin Mo.¡± Many people found an excuse and made a move. Many people were tempted. Lin Mo was suddenly in danger because the owner of the heaven-earth bag had also appeared. He was also a heretic practitioner and had a strange spiritual aura. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s really lively. Since that¡¯s the case, this old man will also interfere.¡± Just as Lin Mo was struggling to resist, a hearty laugh was heard. Two Balls of Fire, one large and one small, descended from the sky. The terrifying heat spread instantly, helping Lin Mo to sweep away the danger. ¡°Saint burning valley?¡± The owner of the heaven-earth bag was shocked as he recognized the people. They were the great elder of Saint burning valley and the young Valley master, Tang Ling. He was extremely furious. He was about to succeed, but someone disrupted his plan. hey, this incomplete immortal Sutra of yours should be able to support many people to read it, right? can you sell me a slot? ¡± Tang Ling came in front of Lin Mo, also longing for the immortal Sutra. However, she wouldn¡¯t snatch it. She wanted to buy it. at most two people can see it. I¡¯m going to auction it off. If you¡¯re interested, you can join the auction. Lin Mo laughed. This was only an incomplete scroll. After the auction, he would be able to obtain the complete version. Only then would he be able to obtain the most perfect comprehension. ¡°Alright, but you should first think about how to get through this crisis.¡± Tang Ling waved her hand and pointed to the crowd not far away. A group of people had already rushed out from there. They held magic weapons and attacked Lin Mo. Since they had already stepped forward, they had no way out. They could only attack together and hope that they could take down Lin Mo. ¡°They¡¯re just a bunch of ants,¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He could deal with it easily without Tang Ling¡¯s help. The Daluo divine sword slashed out in succession, and each sword Qi could take away a person¡¯s life. It was a mess here. Lin Mo was truly angry and showed no mercy. Anyone who stood out was found and killed by him. huh? a level 9 spirit grade pill? ¡± Lin Mo was stunned as he saw something flying in front of him. ¡°BOOM!¡± The next moment, a terrifying explosion rang out. Lin Mo¡¯s sword Qi was broken, and he was forced back dozens of steps. It was unknown who had thrown the elixir, but it exploded when it got close to Lin Mo. The powerful force set off a wave of ripples, and quite a few people were affected. ¡°He simply doesn¡¯t want his life ¡­¡± Earth-rank treasures were very rare, especially spirit pills. They were all found in some ruins, and every use meant one less. This was because no one in the eastern continent could make it. The highest level Alchemist was the old man of mysterious medicine. Therefore, although The Spirit Level 9 pills were precious, there were still a lot of them circulating among the major forces. Now, someone had thrown it out and detonated it just to exhaust Lin Mo. Chapter 508 - Saint Burning Valley’s Support There was no doubt that the person who could use such a suicidal attack was definitely from the hidden ghost sect. This shocked Lin Mo to see the other party¡¯s Foundation. The sudden appearance of the hidden ghost sect¡¯s assassins in the crowd, who could launch a suicide attack at any time, made it difficult for Lin Mo to deal with them. On the other hand, Lin Mo was worried that the other party would go all out, so his attacks were no longer as fierce. Many people took the opportunity to surround and attack Lin Mo, causing the entire place to go berserk. One after another, they attacked Lin Mo with martial arts. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold, but he did not panic. He dodged in all directions and was always on guard. ¡°Damn it, why are you attacking me? I didn¡¯t provoke you.¡± Tang Ling¡¯s scolding came from not far away. Because of the chaos, even Tang Ling, who was watching the show, was attacked. In her rage, she attacked directly. Her moves were terrifying, and the martial arts she used shocked Lin Mo. It was the ancient divine beast Vermilion bird¡¯s incomplete technique, cloud piercing four strikes. The terrifying Vermilion Bird divine flame spread and turned the place into a sea of fire. Tang Ling¡¯s move had killed hundreds of people in seconds. For a moment, many people were terrified and did not dare to attack. What are you looking at? I also have this inheritance, okay? ¡± Tang Ling noticed Lin Mo¡¯s gaze and glared at him. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just want to congratulate miss Tang Ling on obtaining the ultimate martial art.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Tang Ling¡¯s combat power was extremely strong. Fortunately, she was not his enemy, which was good news. However, he didn¡¯t know if the Holy Fire had passed on anything else to Tang Ling other than the cloud piercing four destruction. Seeing that Tang Ling had shocked everyone, Lin Mo did not hold back. A strong flame started burning on his body. Soon, the projection of another Vermilion Bird appeared. The divine flames of the Vermilion Bird spread out, and a terrifying attack spread out. ¡°BOOM!¡± Someone activated an earth-grade Dharma artifact in an attempt to block the attack and ruthlessly struck the Vermilion Bird projection. However, all of this was in vain. Lin Mo¡¯s cloud piercing four breaks was even more skilled than Tang Ling¡¯s. The flames spread, and anyone who touched it was instantly turned into ashes. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± Then, Lin Mo swept across the battlefield, his sword Qi carrying flames that were impossible to defend against. Many people screamed as they were killed by Lin Mo. The scene was too tragic to bear. ¡°Although the visitor is a guest, since we¡¯ve made a move, we¡¯re now enemies.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. His God devouring body domain spread out and sealed the space, preventing these people from escaping. The surrounding spiritual energy gushed toward him, replenishing the spiritual energy he had just consumed. He attacked one of them, who was at the peak of level eight and close to level nine. He was also a heretic practitioner who controlled an earth-grade magic weapon. He was the one who had attacked Lin Mo with the owner of the heaven-earth bag. At this moment, he looked at the other party, scaring him so much that he wanted to escape immediately. However, under the God Devourer body¡¯s domain, it was very difficult to tear open space. He only managed to tear open a crack with an earth-grade magical artifact. However, before he could enter, Lin Mo¡¯s figure had already appeared. What followed was the Daluo divine sword. The sword Qi slashed down, and the person was instantly injured. He couldn¡¯t resist it. Some of the spectators had strange looks on their faces when they saw this. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was indeed terrifying. In the nine Heavens, there were only a handful of people who could fight him. ¡°I¡¯ll be taking your life.¡± Lin Mo did not stop after injuring his opponent with one strike. He slashed down again, ending the man¡¯s life. At this moment, he was holding a pale yellow gourd in his hand, which was emitting a multicolored light. ¡°A rank 1 Earth realm magic tool, not bad.¡± The rest of the people were shocked. Lin Mo had been in danger just a moment ago, but now he had killed one person with two slashes. ¡°Pfft!¡± On the other side, Tang Ling had also finished her battle. She had her eyes on another Earth-grade magic artifact. That person was also a member of the hidden ghost sect and was very powerful, but she had easily killed him and taken away his magic tool. ¡°Swish!¡± Lin Mo flew towards the great elder¡¯s battle circle. Both of them were level nine experts, and their battle would cause a huge commotion. Tang Ling also rushed over and joined the battlefield without a word. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s expert was shocked. He was entangled and couldn¡¯t even retreat. However, just as Lin Mo was about to prepare his killing move to deal a fatal blow, a spatial Rift appeared in the sky. A large hand stretched out from within, grabbed the old man, and retreated. Not far away, the powerhouses who were entangled with beautiful silk, Luo Haoyu, and the others also retreated and fled the place. Outside the moon Pavilion, everything within a thousand meters had turned into ruins. This was the result of them actively restraining their battle fluctuations during the battle. Otherwise, with so many experts attacking at the same time, everything within a ten-mile radius would be destroyed. ¡°Should we give chase?¡± Tang Ling wanted more. She had already suppressed the other party, but if they continued fighting, she would get another Earth-grade weapon. ¡°It¡¯s the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, we can¡¯t catch up ¡­¡± The great elder said, recognizing the attacker. To be able to rescue someone so easily, there should be no one else in the hidden ghost sect other than the sect master. ¡°A remnant of the immortal Sutra?¡± A woman¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. It was filled with surprise. The few of them turned around and saw a young and beautiful woman standing in the air. She was looking at Lin Mo with a curious expression. ¡°Senior Tian Sha?¡± Lin Mo was a little shocked. There was a familiar aura on this woman¡¯s body, but it was more of a youthful vigor. She was like tiansha when she was young ¡­ What he did not expect was that Tian Sha had suddenly become so young, like a woman in her twenties ¡­ ¡°I only fought with the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master at my peak state.¡± Tian Sha waved his hand. The vitality on her body quickly disappeared, and her appearance returned to that of old age. He looked like he was about to die, and the people around him were dumbfounded. ¡°Thank you for helping me this time around, senior. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I would have been in danger ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and cupped his fists in thanks. This was from the bottom of his heart. After all, according to the agreement, tiansha only needed to protect the purple Moon Palace and did not need to care about anything else. The fact that she was able to stop the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master was already a favor. ¡°What price will your immortal scroll be sold for?¡± Tiansha did not mind and asked. She was very tempted by the legendary cultivation technique, but she knew that Lin Mo would not give it to her. However, this immortal scroll was enough to attract her. If she could obtain it, she would be one step closer to immortal-Foundation, and it was very difficult for her to resist such temptation. ¡°This ¡­ I don¡¯t know, but it can only be auctioned in ten days.¡± Lin Mo spread his hands. This immortal Scripture was really a hot potato. He was really worried that Tian Sha would make a move ¡­ ¡°Forget it. If one¡¯s obsession is too strong, it¡¯s not good for one¡¯s cultivation ¡­¡± Tian Sha was silent for a long while before sighing. This kind of treasure moved her. But he also knew the price he had to pay. Perhaps she had to make an oath to join the purple Moon Palace. Although there was nothing wrong with it, it was not in line with the Dao in her heart. ¡°Senior¡¯s talent is outstanding. Even if you don¡¯t depend on the immortal Scripture, you will still be able to break through to the immortal-Foundation realm in the future.¡± Lin Mo was not stingy with his compliments. However, Tian Sha did not pay much attention to these words and his figure gradually disappeared. Lin Mo did not want to stay any longer and returned to the purple Moon Palace with Tang Ling and the others, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded people ¡­ Chapter 509 - The Auction Begins In the next ten days, many people left hailing city, including people from several major forces. This was because another Supreme treasure had appeared. They couldn¡¯t ignore it and had to get it. They went back to collect spirit stones. No matter what kind of battle would happen after the auction, it was definitely right to be the first to get the treasure. If he could remember the cultivation method or transfer it, his power would definitely produce a Supreme expert in the future. At that time, it would not be a problem to unify the eastern continent. Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and hailing city¡¯s liveliness had reached its peak. Lin Mo walked out of the purple Moon Palace. In an instant, countless soul powers locked onto him. This feeling made Lin Mo a little uncomfortable, but he could do nothing about it. ¡°Be careful. I¡¯m going into seclusion for a day. Don¡¯t die.¡± Bai Luo and the others sent him off, knowing what Lin Mo was going to do. Jiang xiyue had been adjusting her state of mind for the past few days. She was ready to tear the scroll at any time to comprehend the ¡± gods ¡®decree ¡°. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and flew to the moon Pavilion. During this time, many people in the dark almost couldn¡¯t hold back and wanted to attack Lin Mo. Fortunately, everything was fine. Lin Mo successfully entered the moon Pavilion and activated the formation. With the protection of the formation, it would be safer. However, within the moon Pavilion, Lin Mo could also feel the killing intent. It was not just from one place ¡­ ¡°Ah, to live while facing death ¡­¡± Sighing, Lin Mo walked up to the auction stage. There were no more staff in the moon Pavilion, and they had all returned to the purple Moon Palace. Because no one knew when disputes would arise. Lin Mo was the only one left in the moon Pavilion. He personally hosted the auction and took out the items. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, there are no ordinary items in today¡¯s auction. All of them are treasures above the earth rank.¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and took out a pale yellow gourd from his storage ring. rank 1 Earth Class, chaos sky Calabash. It contains a wisp of chaotic Qi and has extraordinary power. It was a magic weapon of an elder of the hidden ghost sect and I obtained it. ¡°The starting price is 45 million medium spiritual stones.¡± An earth Rank Magic tool with extraordinary power. Many of the people present had seen it. As soon as he took it out, someone was interested and offered a price. ¡°50 million, the treasures of my hidden ghost sect are not something that just anyone can get.¡± The bidding had just started when a low voice was heard. Everyone was shocked. Only then did they notice that at the very front of the hall, there was a person completely wrapped in a black robe. He did not hesitate to reveal his origins, he was an elder of the hidden ghost sect. They looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of disdain and contempt. ¡°What, doesn¡¯t the moon Pavilion claim that all visitors are guests? I didn¡¯t take the initiative to stir up trouble, so the Vice Palace Master wouldn¡¯t not welcome me, right?¡± The elder of the hidden ghost sect sneered as he sat in front, not worried that Lin Mo would make a move. of course. You¡¯re a guest, as long as you¡¯re willing to pay the spirit stones. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm. From the moment he entered, he had already felt the killing intent. His soul power wasn¡¯t weak either, and he found quite a few people, including the person in front of him. then announce the results. I don¡¯t think anyone is willing to offer a higher price now. The elder of the hidden ghost sect sneered as he scanned the surroundings with his cold eyes. The people in the hall who were still eager to try fell silent one after another, because the major forces chose to auction the treasures in their treasure vaults in exchange for spirit stones. Thus, they had rushed over with the goal of taking away one or two earth-rank treasures at a huge price. However, it was obvious that they didn¡¯t have the guts to compete with the hidden ghost sect. Those who had the power to fight for it would not offend the hidden ghost sect for an earth grade magic weapon. ¡°No one is bidding?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as he knocked on the auction hammer. Silence. The auction house fell into silence. No one spoke. There was not even a single sound of discussion as they just looked at Lin Mo on the stage. ¡°Alright, deal.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He had made a loss selling his first magic tool. haha, boy, don¡¯t you think that this show can¡¯t go on? you¡¯d better take out the immortal scroll. Maybe you can still save your life. The hidden ghost sect¡¯s elder laughed smugly as he looked at Lin Mo with even more disdain. this is an on-the-spot transaction. This guest, please take out your spiritual stones. Otherwise, if you disturb the order of the auction, I will have to chase you out. Lin Mo¡¯s cold eyes looked over and he threw out the pale yellow gourd in his hand. He was not afraid that this person would escape with the treasure. in addition, the purple Moon Palace has been targeted by some evil people recently. If someone disturbs the auction, perhaps the auction tomorrow will not be able to continue. At that time, you will bear the consequences. Lin Mo¡¯s voice was not loud, but no one dared to ignore him. They had come here for the last cultivation technique and the immortal Sutra. If Lin Mo was forced into a corner and he really ran away with the cultivation technique and the manual, how would they be able to find him in the vast sea of people and Endless Mountains? ¡°Ahem, fellow Daoist of the hidden ghost sect, please follow the rules and pay the spirit stones once you¡¯ve made a bid.¡± In the private room in front of them, an old man coughed and spoke slowly. This sentence caused a chain reaction. Many people agreed and asked the elder of the hidden ghost sect to take out the spiritual stones. ¡°Hidden ghost sect, I advise you to know what¡¯s good for you and let the auction continue. Otherwise, you can leave.¡± There were even experts who directly threatened, not afraid of the hidden ghost sect¡¯s power. ¡°You guys ¡­¡± Suddenly being criticized and threatened by so many people, the elder of the hidden ghost sect was instantly enraged. But the next moment, he felt a terrifying aura. Some people were really going to make a move because they hoped that the auction would continue so that they could sell their treasures and get spiritual stones. This way, he would have a chance to get the immortal Sutra¡¯s remnant volume when they fought for it later. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pay.¡± The hidden ghost sect elder gritted his teeth and threw out a cloth bag with 50 million medium spiritual stones inside. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently. After counting the spirit stones, he put them away. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a rank 1 Earth realm magic item, the mixed sky gourd. [ successfully triggered 7000 times interest ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 3 earth realm magic weapon, the chaos spirit gourd. The chaos spirit Calabash¡¯s Dharma artifact characteristics were similar to the chaos heaven Calabash, but the chaos Qi contained in it was more intense. If it were in the past, Lin Mo would still keep it for a while and use it occasionally. But at this time, he was really short of spirit stones. It would be a waste to directly absorb the magic tool. the next item is a rank 3 earth realm magic item, the chaos spiritual gourd. the structure of this item is the same as the chaos heaven Calabash from before, but the chaos Qi it contains is much denser. ¡°The starting price is 100 million medium spiritual stones.¡± 100 million middle-grade spirit stones was the starting price, shocking everyone. However, this also proved the value of the chaos spirit Calabash. The chaos Qi in it was worth studying. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s a pretty good treasure.¡± In the private room in front, someone laughed loudly. The starting price of 100 million was not something that just anyone could bid for. To be able to offer such a price, they must have their own forces, and even the weakest of them had reached the eighth sky of Nirvana realm. Chapter 510 - An Income That Makes One Jealous An income that makes one jealous The bidding voices came one after another, and in less than three minutes, the price had reached 120 million. Even so, the price was still rising, and many people were interested. In the end, the price stopped at one hundred and seventy-five million, and the bidder was the Yan Huang dynasty. After the attack of the purple Moon Palace, although the Yan Huang dynasty was not completely dispirited, they had suffered a great loss. Now, his purpose in coming here was not the immortal scroll or cultivation technique, but to auction some treasures. This chaos spirit gourd was just right for him. deal. Congratulations to the Yan Huang dynasty. Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and announced the results. It was still an on-the-spot transaction. In such a critical period, no rules worked. The price they bid would only count if the transaction was done on the spot. ¡°The next item is a rank 1 Earth Class pill, vitality pill.¡± A Jade bottle appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. There was a talisman sealed on it. There was no medicinal fragrance, but one could feel the power contained within. according to the appraisal, this pill has existed for 200000 years. It was at least rank 7 Earth Class before. ¡°However, even with the seal of the talisman, it couldn¡¯t retain the power of the medicine. Now it has degenerated to rank 1 Earth Class.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on the vitality pill as they spread their soul power over. Lin Mo did not stop them and allowed them to check to their heart¡¯s content to confirm that what they had said was true. ¡°It¡¯s a good item. Tell me the price.¡± Someone said, showing great interest in this pill. ¡°Rank 1 Earth Class vitality pill, starting price, ten million.¡± Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer. This item could only be preserved for a maximum of ten years because the talisman had been attached by the person who had discovered it later. It wasn¡¯t a technique designed by an ancient immortal-Foundation expert, so the medicinal properties couldn¡¯t be retained. This caused the value of this spiritual pill to drop significantly. ¡°Eleven million.¡± ¡°12 million.¡± ¡°15 million.¡± Everyone in the hall was very happy, because there was finally a relatively cheap treasure. They could bid for it. If it was the kind of auction item that could be sold for hundreds of millions, they would have no money left after buying it. This spirit pill was pretty good. In the end, the vitality pill was bought by a sect leader for 25 million. ¡°Congratulations to this friend for successfully winning the bid for the vitality pill.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and completed the transaction on the spot. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the rank 1 Earth Class vitality pill. [ successfully triggered 4000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rank 2 Earth Class vitality pill. In the system space, an identical vitality pill appeared, with the same talisman pasted on it. Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately tore off the talisman and used a simple technique to carve a seal. the next item is still the vitality pill, but this one¡¯s medicinal properties have been well preserved. It is Rank 2 Earth Class. Lin Mo took it out. When the crowd saw the simple sealing technique, they were instantly furious. ¡°What a waste, this is simply a waste. How can you seal it so carelessly?¡± Many people cursed in anger. Who put it up for auction so casually? they simply didn¡¯t treat it as a treasure ¡­ ¡°Why does this old man feel that this is the seal from earlier ¡­¡± There were also people who saw the clues and were a little surprised. There were many people with good eyesight present who could feel the remaining fluctuations of spiritual Qi. This was obviously carved not long ago, and it would arouse suspicion ¡­ cough cough, when the seller placed it up for auction, there wasn¡¯t any seal on it. I just received it, so I sealed it carelessly. Lin Mo coughed drily. How could he seal it meticulously in such a short time? ¡°It¡¯s such a waste. Tell me the price, I¡¯m very interested in this pill.¡± An expert said, urging Lin Mo to quickly state the price. the starting price is 20 million, and each bid can not be lower than 1 million. As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the expert had already started bidding. He had even increased the price by five million in one go. Such an anxious mentality also made many people give up on competing. It was obvious that this person was determined to get the vitality pill and would not give up so easily. ¡°27 million.¡± ¡°Thirty million.¡± However, there were still people who participated in the bidding. He was not the only one who wanted it, and the bidding was very intense. The people in the hall were all competing for this spirit pill. Even though its shelf life was obviously lower than the previous one. In the end, the expert who had urged Lin Mo to make a bid at the beginning won the elixir with a price of 35 million. what a boring trick. Holy maiden, are we really going to buy it with spirit stones? ¡± In the private room at the very front, this was the exclusive location of the divine Secrets Holy Land. Even if there was no one in the moon Pavilion right now and they had to find their own seats, this private room at the very front was still reserved for the divine Secrets Holy Land. This became the consensus of the people. The divine Secrets Holy Land was the strongest force in the eastern Peninsula. Even the mysterious hidden ghost sect did not dare to provoke the divine Secrets Holy Land. At that moment, Xia you looked at Lin Mo on the auction stage with interest. he¡¯s reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and doesn¡¯t have enough resources. He¡¯s trying to accumulate resources. He¡¯s quite capable. Saintess Xia you was not stingy with her praise. To be able to go from a rogue cultivator to this day was already not bad. Although Jiang xiyue was the one who had trained the Army, as far as she knew, Jiang xiyue had been hiding because she had not found a battle formation. In other words, Lin Mo was the one who had found the battle formation that the purple spirit guards were training in. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t rope him in ¡­¡± She sighed. The divine Secrets Holy Land had used up half of its resources, which was enough for Lin Mo to break through to the ninth heaven of the Nirvana realm. In the past, she had made clear her attitude to Lin Mo. As long as she joined the divine Secrets Holy Land, she would be able to provide sufficient cultivation resources. However, Lin Mo rejected her without hesitation, which made her feel sorry for him. the Holy maiden can sweep the world by herself. As long as you grow up, the geniuses of all races will be nothing. a mere God Devourer body is not enough to hurt the Saint. An elder from the divine Secrets sacred land bowed, his eyes filled with respect. Following Xia you¡¯s growth, the people of the divine Secrets Holy Land also saw hope. The first immortal-Foundation expert of the eastern continent would definitely be someone from the divine Secrets Holy Land. ¡°Let¡¯s just wait and see. We can¡¯t let the remnant of the immortal Sutra fall into the hands of others.¡± Holy maiden Xia you shook her head and did not say anything else. She sat in the private room and watched as Lin Mo collected the spirit stones. The experts in the other private rooms were more or less the same. One by one, they stood on the sidelines and watched, because they knew that the final owner of the immortal Sutra¡¯s remnant scroll would definitely not be by auction. On the stage, Lin Mo had successfully auctioned off a magic tool. After the transaction, the system gave him a return, which was an even stronger magic tool. He did not hesitate to auction it off, earning another sum of spirit stones. It had been four hours since the auction started. During this time, Lin Mo had sold more than 100 treasures. More than 30 of them were put up for auction by others. The rest of the treasures were all his own without exception, and some were the system¡¯s return interest. He had also earned a lot of spiritual stones from this. A rough estimate put him at about eight billion. This made many people jealous, including the top forces. Chapter 511 - The Ownership of the Immortal Sutra One had to know that even they would not be able to obtain so much in a year, but lin mo had obtained it just like that. This made many people feel psychologically unbalanced. however, when lin mo announced the end of the second last auction item, the crowd perked up. ¡°It¡¯s finally here ¡­¡± ¡°after watching the show for four hours, the main course is finally here.¡± the people in the private room in front of them perked up one by one. next was one of the treasures they were most looking forward to. the last item is also today¡¯s grand finale. Lin Mo chuckled. With a flash of light in his hand, the immortal Sutra fragment that countless people yearned for finally appeared. ¡°Tell me the price.¡± Holy maiden Xia you¡¯s voice rang out from the private room at the very front. She had been waiting for a long time and had brought enough spirit stones to auction off the immortal Sutra. ¡± the same treasure has different values in different places ¡­ ¡± Lin Mo looked at the excited faces of the people below and recalled Bai Luo¡¯s disdainful look. in the past, he had once taken out a remnant of an immortal sutra and wanted to sell it to bai luo. in the end, she was very disdainful and said that such scrolls could be found everywhere in her world ¡­ it was not a common item, but it was only equivalent to a rank 1 earth class treasure ¡­ Lin Mo could not help but mourn for the eastern continent. this thing could cause a sensation in the eastern continent, but it was worthless to bai luo ¡­ ¡± the starting price of this item is one billion medium spiritual stones. each increment must be no less than ten million medium spiritual stones. ¡± Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer, but the crowd was a little quiet. many people wanted it, but they were not in a hurry. he didn¡¯t know what they were thinking. Seeing this, Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He began to think about how he could escape. Although the immortal scroll was precious, the treasures he had with him were equally precious. it was a total of more than eight billion medium spiritual stones, and no one knew how many treasures he had on him. as long as he caught it, even if he didn¡¯t get the immortal sutra, this trip wouldn¡¯t be in vain. ¡°one billion medium spiritual stones.¡± the silence lasted for a long time. in the end, it was still holy maiden xia you who made a bid, breaking the silence. ¡°One billion and ten million.¡± With someone calling out a bid, the others naturally couldn¡¯t help but follow suit. However, the outcome was out of Lin Mo¡¯s expectations, as there were only a few people who participated in the bidding. in the end, even holy maiden xia you stopped bidding. ¡°hehe, are you planning to snatch it ¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little helpless because the price of the immortal Sutra had stopped at 1.3 billion. The last bidder was even a little hesitant. ¡°No one else is willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo raised his head and realized that no one was willing to bid anymore. Everyone fell silent. ¡°. hope you don¡¯t regret it ¡­¡± lin mo smiled faintly as the auction hammer fell for the last time. ¡°Congratulations to this friend for successfully auctioning off the remnant scroll of the immortal Sutra,¡± lin mo announced the result of the auction and handed the incomplete immortal sutra to the man under the envious gaze of the crowd. with the spirit stones in hand, lin mo waited for the system¡¯s notification. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the fragment of a rank 1 earth realm immortal sutra. ] [ hesitating buyer has been targeted by many people for purchasing the auction item. Mission received: host, please protect the buyer and maintain the auction house¡¯s reputation. ] upon completion, you will receive the heavenly pill, a rank 9 Earth Class spiritual pill. There was no return. Instead, there was a mission for Lin Mo to protect the people who had successfully won the auction. Lin Mo felt a little helpless. It was not wise to protect her at this time. However, the system¡¯s reward also tempted him. the heavenly pill contained a large amount of heaven and earth energy. normally, only demonic beasts could consume it. because there was too much energy in it, humans who consumed it would burst their dantian and die from an explosion. To the God Devourer body, this was an absolute treasure. As long as he could get it, he would definitely break through to level eight. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll try my best to complete it ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled helplessly. He called the person who had successfully auctioned the item and was about to leave with him. ¡°Wait a minute, where is the Vice Palace Master planning to take them?¡± At that moment, someone appeared and blocked Lin Mo and the other man. it was the elder of the hidden ghost sect. he had been patient for so long and now he finally exploded and appeared impatiently. other than that, there were also many experts who appeared. they all blocked the path, their expressions unfriendly. ¡°where to? naturally, it¡¯s to send him out of the moon pavilion.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly, then looked at the young man behind him, who was already scared out of his wits. This person was quite talented, at the 6th sky of Nirvana realm. To be able to sit in the private room, he should have some background. however, his current appearance made lin mo feel a little helpless. ¡®if you¡¯re so scared, why are you auctioning it? they¡¯re just preparing to make a move, they haven¡¯t even moved yet ¡­¡¯ I see. We thought the purple Moon Palace was going to take him back to kill him and steal his treasure. The elder from the hidden ghost sect sneered as he looked at Lin Mo, no longer stopping him. lin mo looked at him indifferently and sneered, ¡± ¡°are you introducing yourself? killing people and snatching their treasures is something that your hidden ghost sect often does ¡­¡± With that, he didn¡¯t stay any longer and left the auction with the youth. these 1.3 billion medium spiritual stones shouldn¡¯t be yours. Why do you want to get involved in this? ¡± After he walked out, he chatted with the young man and said that he would send him out of hailing city. However, there was a lot of soul power locked on him, so he couldn¡¯t take this person away. ¡°thank you vice palace master for seeing me off. i¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± They arrived at hailing city safely. The young man looked at Lin Mo and tore a talisman. The next moment, his figure disappeared. At the same time, in hailing city, countless spatial fluctuations came, and many people were teleported away. there were even people who flew out directly, wanting to chase after him. ¡°Vice Palace Master, please go back to the purple Moon Palace and hide for. while ¡­¡± at this moment, a middle-aged man passed by lin mo and whispered to him. Then, he flew forward to find out the latest news. ¡°wait a moment ¡­¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a while before he rushed forward to stop this person. go back and tell them not to act rashly. If Bai Luo comes out of seclusion, ask her to come out and help me. If she doesn¡¯t, don¡¯t come out. He wouldn¡¯t give up on the heavenly pill, and that young man couldn¡¯t die. He had to go and protect him. After saying that, he flew into the distance without looking back. when he had sent him out, he had left a soul imprint on his body. And now, that imprint was fluctuating violently. It was obvious that he was going through a battle. however, when lin mo arrived, he realized that there was no one there. there was only the thick smell of blood. Other than that, he could also feel the aura of a killing formation. It was extremely terrifying. the weakest of these corpses was at the 7th Sky. To think that they would die just like that. Such a clever killing formation is truly terrifying ¡­ Lin Mo checked the scene, and then many more people came. lin mo was also shocked by the scene. however, many greedy eyes quickly turned to lin mo. Chapter 512 - The Young Man Who Hid His Abilities Well ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, get lost.¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly. The terrifying fluctuations on his body made these people not dare to make a move. he left this place and searched for that imprint. however, he quickly discovered that something was wrong. he had encountered many killing formations on the way. ¡°This ¡­ did that person do it?¡± Lin Mo was shocked as he recalled what had happened. a young man at the 6th sky of nirvana realm had killed so many people and set up so many killing formations. That scared expression from before, could it be an act ¡­ ¡°If that¡¯s the case, my task will be much easier.¡± lin mo chuckled, tore open space, and disappeared. In a mountain range, there were towering mountains and countless giant trees that reached the sky. There was a clear spring at the bottom of the lake. It was filled with precious spiritual liquid. at this moment, a young man was soaking in it, enjoying it. there was a mist condensed from spiritual qi around him, making him look like a celestial realm. When Lin Mo arrived, he saw a young man. His appearance had changed as well. He had changed his appearance when he participated in the auction. At this moment, he had changed his previous scared look and was laughing wildly. hahahaha, you guys think you can hunt down yours truly? I¡¯ll play you guys to death! He laughed as he shook his body. He took out a towel and rubbed his body. The young man was around 20 years old, and his eyes were sharp and cunning. it was hard to imagine that he had set up a killing formation, bought the immortal sutra, and killed so many people ¡­ ¡°what a deep scheme. to think that i was worried about you in the beginning ¡­¡± lin mo¡¯s mouth twitched as he sneaked over. Deputy Palace Lord, you¡¯re not being kind. Men shouldn¡¯t touch each other. My body belongs to a beautiful woman. The young man cried out in shock. With his powerful spiritual power, he discovered Lin Mo. At the same time, a light flickered beneath Lin Mo¡¯s feet. Four array flags appeared, forming a trapping array that trapped Lin Mo within. ¡± bullsh * t, who¡¯s interested in you? don¡¯t be so narcissistic. ¡± lin mo choked. he had not expected to meet such a weirdo. ¡± your attainments in this formation are at least at the ninth level of the spirit realm ¡­ ¡± after he cursed, he found something strange. Although this young man was very cunning, the strength of his formation was beyond doubt ¡­ After the trap array was formed, the young man put on his robe unhurriedly and revealed a devilish smile. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, since you want to kill me and steal my treasure, don¡¯t blame me. I¡¯m just protecting myself.¡± with that, he raised his hand and two more trap formations appeared, trapping lin mo completely. At the same time, he gathered his spirit Qi and roared towards the sky, ¡± ¡°lin mo is here. he took back the immortal sutra.¡± ¡°F * ck you.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had exposed himself with that shout and had even directed the disaster to the other party. It was too sinister. ¡°farewell.¡± the young man cupped his fists and left, leaving lin mo in the trap formation. ¡°I have the urge to kill him ¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. He had come to help him, but he had been tricked and was careless ¡­ ¡°Qilin steps!¡± He let out a loud roar and the divine Phoenix beneath his feet bloomed. Purple light burst forth and he kicked one of the array flags. ¡± boom! ¡± the three trapping arrays were shattered. the terrifying qilin pattern exploded and destroyed everything. Lin Mo did not have time to think. He wiped away the aura he had left behind and disappeared. A dozen seconds later, dozens of figures appeared, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment. everything within a thousand-meter radius had been destroyed by lin mo. such a terrifying explosion shocked them. however, was what someone had shouted just now true? ¡± i don¡¯t care anymore. we¡¯ll find out sooner or later if we continue chasing. ¡± Someone said and chased after him. Many people followed behind, unwilling to give up. in the boundless mountain range, lin mo spread his kun peng wings and quickly caught up with the young man who had escaped. ¡°You bastard, I¡¯m here to help you. How dare you trick me?¡± Lin Mo bellowed from behind and chased after him. ¡°Lin Mo, vice Palace Master, brother Lin, I was wrong. Please let me go.¡± ¡°Damn, how can you be so fast ¡­¡± The young man screamed in pain. The distance between him and Lin Mo was rapidly closing. the next moment, the young man raised his hand and pointed. a large array appeared on a lake in front of them, and then it exploded. ¡°roar!¡± A shocking killing intent suddenly burst out from the lake. With a roar, the water level dropped by a third and a Green Dragon came out. ¡°Flood Dragon ¡­¡± Lin Mo cursed in his heart. He felt that even if he had not come, this young man would have been able to escape. His actions had been completely unnecessary. ¡°Hey, big brother Lin, give me a ride. No¡­¡± The young man screamed again as he was being chased by the flood Dragon. initially, he had awakened the flood dragon so that lin mo would be stopped. even if he could not stop lin mo, he could at least hold him off for a while. however, he did not expect lin mo to not fight him. instead, lin mo used the kun peng wings and chased after him, overtaking him in no time. when he looked back, he was shocked. the flood dragon had opened its bloody mouth and was about to catch up to him. ¡°I was wrong ¡­ brother flood dragon, you should go back and rest ¡­¡± The young man¡¯s face was sullen. He tried to use a spiritual array to escape, but his speed was too slow. Furthermore, Lin Mo was waiting for him in front. ¡°Roar!¡± Seeing the flood Dragon getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to take out a teleportation formation and activate it. Seeing this, Lin Mo also followed. The kun Peng wings allowed him to be fearless and he would not lose them. the teleportation formation was activated, and the flood dragon lost track of him. it roared and wreaked havoc in the mountain range. The teleportation array opened, and the two of them ran out. The young man wanted to continue running. However, just as he appeared, a pure white net of light appeared and was about to envelop him. ¡°this is bad.¡± He was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that he would find the node of the teleportation array and be trapped. ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding. I was chased out.¡± The young man shouted. Because he had disguised himself before, these people should not have seen through his identity. ¡°hmph, if you dare to touch my brother, you have to ask me first.¡± Lin Mo snorted and walked out of the teleportation formation. A sword light bloomed, and the light net was instantly shattered. Lin Mo walked out and helped him resolve the crisis. At the same time, a beam of sword Qi hit the person¡¯s back, cutting off the array flag hidden in it. the young man¡¯s face instantly turned green as he hurriedly explained. ¡°I don¡¯t have any relationship with him. He robbed the immortal Sutra and wanted to kill me.¡± The young man explained. However, some people noticed the broken array flag behind him and their faces turned ashen. ¡°bastard, you¡¯re the one who set up the formation to kill us!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, the aura of the formation is the same. It¡¯s him. Let him pay with his life and avenge our dead brothers.¡± in an instant, he became the target of public criticism. on the other hand, lin mo was ignored and quietly retreated. ¡± hmph, my poor disciple. he wanted to take the opportunity to gain some experience, but he was severely injured by the formation and almost lost his life. pay with your life. ¡± meng lie had arrived. he released the aura of the ninth heaven of the nirvana realm, and it was extremely powerful. he also wanted the remnant of the immortal sutra, but he didn¡¯t expect that he would be severely injured by the killing formation after chasing for a short time. if he wasn¡¯t strong enough, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape. with a nirvana stage warrior taking action, everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with hostility. they hated the person who set up the killing formation. ¡°i¡¯m really unlucky ¡­¡± The young man screamed and quickly set up a spiritual array to block it. Chapter 513 - Rogue Cultivator Xu Fei His attainments in spiritual arrays are very high. I just don¡¯t know who his master is ¡­ Lin Mo watched from the back and realized that this person was not simple. he had many killing formations, and none of them were the same. and they were all strong. when they were used, not even meng lie could take him down. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t forget that i¡¯m still here.¡± after watching for a while, lin mo intervened. he could not let this fellow be besieged. The Great Luo Divine sword appeared, and the sword qi that shot into the sky spread, injuring many people. Meng lie was strong, but Lin Mo hadn¡¯t been wasting his time. With the help of his weapon, the two were now evenly matched. ¡°Lin Mo, what¡¯s the meaning of this? are you trying to destroy your own reputation by snatching back the immortal Sutra?¡± Meng lie said angrily. He was shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s power. He wanted to get everyone to attack him. that¡¯s not right. I¡¯m the host of this auction, so I won¡¯t steal it. However, in order to protect the reputation of the auction house, I won¡¯t allow you to steal it. Lin Mo smiled faintly. The Daluo divine sword was placed in front of him, and he was just about to tell the youth to leave. but when he turned around, he saw that person¡¯s figure. he could vaguely see a figure running wildly in the sky above the valley in the distance. ¡°Your grandmother¡¯s ¡­¡± lin mo¡¯s face was filled with black lines. this fellow was really disloyal. When everyone saw that he had escaped, they hurriedly gave chase. Lin Mo also hurriedly followed. ¡°why are you still chasing me?¡± the young man let out a strange cry and ran away. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll help you block them. You take the treasure and run.¡± Lin Mo said. The effect was immediate. Some of the people who were hesitating instantly had a clear target and chased after that person. ¡°lin mo, you¡¯re even more devious than i am.¡± The young man screamed again as he was surrounded by enemies. ¡°Brother, what are you talking about? I¡¯ve placed all my treasures on you. Run quickly. There¡¯s no need to stay behind to help me.¡± Lin Mo continued. ¡°You¡¯re bullshitting. You don¡¯t even know my name.¡± the young man scolded lin mo for being shameless, as more and more people were coming. ¡°Yes, I forgot to ask your name.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and secretly asked for the man¡¯s name. ¡°No comment.¡± Lin Mo was not annoyed by his answer. He said indifferently, ¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯m leaving. Can you handle this on your own?¡± ¡°Xu Fei, my name is Xu Fei.¡± he quickly changed his words. Given the current situation, Lin Mo seemed to be really helping him. At least, he had put in some effort. ¡°where¡¯s your master?¡± Lin Mo dug into the matter and wanted to find out. ¡°Rogue cultivator, array path genius, don¡¯t doubt it. Are you the only one in the world who can become a rogue cultivator?¡± Xu Fei laughed complacently. his talent was his confidence. if not for lin mo¡¯s interference, he would have escaped. ¡± are you willing to join the purple moon palace? i¡¯ll return the 1.3 billion spirit stones to you and give you an ancient formation map. ¡± lin mo began to recruit. no way. I¡¯m a man destined to stand tall in the world. I¡¯ll conquer the other continents and be invincible. xu fei was very confident as he spoke these bold and heroic words. ¡°Come on, we¡¯re being chased to the point where we have nowhere to go.¡± Lin Mo laughed disdainfully and didn¡¯t say anything else. He focused on fighting Meng lie. However, as time passed, the number of people chasing them gradually increased, and there were a few more ninth heaven Nirvana stage experts. even lin mo did not dare to be careless, as the slightest mistake could cost him his life. ¡°This heavenly pill is really not easy to earn ¡­¡± lin mo¡¯s body was already injured. three level nine experts besieging him had made him unable to follow his heart. brother Lin, please stop. We only want the immortal scroll. We won¡¯t make things difficult for you. With a soft sigh, another person joined the battle. What was shocking was that this person was the Crown Prince of the Lu golden divine dynasty. he led two experts of the ninth heaven and joined the battlefield. The pressure on Lin Mo increased sharply. Under the joint attack of the five people, he had no choice but to unfurl the kun Peng wings and escape with his body covered in wounds. ¡°Hey, give me a ride.¡± xu fei screamed in pain from behind. Previously, Lin Mo had helped him block the experts so that he could set up the formation with peace of mind. Now that Lin Mo had left, he could not hold on any longer. ¡°Damn it ¡­¡± After cursing, Lin Mo swallowed a spirit pill and charged back. However, he didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He immediately brought Xu Fei along and fled. There were a few more wounds on his body. ¡°lin mo, are you really helping me for the sake of the auction house¡¯s reputation?¡± After being taken away by Lin Mo, Xu Fei still had some lingering fear in his heart. He then asked again. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. Just don¡¯t make me your enemy in the future.¡± ignoring xu xufei, lin mo increased his speed to the maximum. ¡°fly to the right. i¡¯ve set up a killing array there. i guarantee that these people will not be able to return.¡± Without any time to think, Xu Fei asked Lin Mo to bring him away. according to xu fei¡¯s original plan, he would set up killing formations along the way and then use the teleportation formation to come here. He activated the most powerful killing formation and killed all the people who were chasing him. ¡°It¡¯s. little strange ¡­¡± lin mo felt that something was amiss as he fled. ¡°What?¡± On the other hand, Xu Fei was rather carefree and didn¡¯t seem worried in the slightest. to him, lin mo might be the greatest danger right now, but he could not leave lin mo yet ¡­ the divine Secrets Holy Land, the other three divine dynasties did not make a move ¡­ this was what lin mo was worried about. from the beginning to the end, he had only seen people from the lu golden divine dynasty. He didn¡¯t see anyone else. Meng lie might have been from the Yan Huang dynasty, but he didn¡¯t see anyone else. ¡°it can¡¯t be ¡­ they¡¯re all famous people, yet they¡¯re still doing robbery?¡± Xu Fei¡¯s expression instantly turned bitter. If these few great powers were to make a move, then he really would have no way of escaping. ¡°If I kill you, who knows what they¡¯ll do?¡± Lin Mo pouted. History was often written by the victors. ¡°Wait, turn around and run.¡± All of a sudden, Xu Fei, who was deep in thought, was startled. He had sensed something. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± although he was puzzled, lin mo did as he was told. why did this fellow suddenly change direction ¡­ ¡°The killing array I set up in front has been dismantled ¡­¡± Xu Fei¡¯s face turned ashen. His method of dealing with his enemies was precisely the killing formation. He didn¡¯t expect that he would be discovered by others. ¡°they¡¯ve made their move ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. It was getting harder and harder. Furthermore, it was a little difficult for him to escape now ¡­ ¡°Brother, you won¡¯t leave me behind, right?¡± Xu Fei said with some worry. He was really afraid that Lin Mo would see that he could not escape and send him out. If that happened, he would truly be beyond redemption. In comparison, falling into Lin Mo¡¯s hands would be the best choice. ¡°I¡¯ll see how it goes. I¡¯ll try my best to protect you.¡± lin mo frowned. he did not want to give up on the heavenly pill, but he could not do it alone. At this moment, he really wanted to ask the system if he could get an advance reward. With the heavenly pill and a batch of spirit stones, he might be able to break through to level eight. this way, he would have a trump card to resist. All of a sudden, Lin Mo, who was flying forward, crashed into a barrier and stopped. brother Lin, I don¡¯t understand why you¡¯re so protective of someone you¡¯ve never met ¡­ In a white dress, Xia you slowly walked out of the crack in the void. She held the moon-white longsword in her hand, and her fairy-like face was filled with doubt and confusion ¡­ Chapter 514 - Tier 1 Earth Grade Formation ¡°Swish!¡± The air around them flowed, the space cracked, and the earth collapsed. the array flags flew out one by one, forming a thousand-meter cage that trapped the two of them. Even Holy maiden Xia you was among them. Lin Mo counted carefully. There were a total of 18 array flags, and each of them was guarded by a 7th Sky Nirvana stage expert. This formation also made Lin Mo feel a sense of despair. ¡°rank 1 earth class ¡­¡± Through his observation, he discovered the terrifying aspect of this formation. Once it was fully activated, it could even damage one¡¯s immortal Foundation ¡­ Fortunately, the eye of the array was Xia you, who was at the peak of Level Seven, which was not enough. Otherwise, they would be annihilated in an instant. ¡± i didn¡¯t think that the divine secrets holy land¡¯s saintess would commit such a robbery. ¡± xu fei sneered. at this moment, he had already cowered. however, his words were still unforgiving. Xu Fei, you¡¯re a rare genius of arrays. I once invited you to join the sacred land, but you rejected me. holy maiden xia you looked at xu fei. a trace of killing intent slowly emerged in her bright eyes. ¡± i¡¯ve capsized. deputy palace master, you should leave ¡­ ¡± xu fei walked out. he was already very grateful to lin mo for being able to help him to this extent. ¡°You want to leave? sure, but you have to leave the immortal book and the cultivation technique behind.¡± one of the elders in charge of the formation said. since lin mo had already been captured, there was no reason for him to let him go. if it weren¡¯t for the fact that they were worried that jiang xiyue would lead the purple moon palace to take revenge, they would have even wanted to make lin mo stay. it would be best if he could control it, but if he couldn¡¯t, he would just kill it. ¡°Brother Lin, I don¡¯t want to kill you, but you¡¯ve already lost.¡± Holy maiden Xia you looked at Lin Mo. Once the formation was activated, even if an existence like tiansha was trapped, there was no way for him to survive. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a genius in arrays? can you break it?¡± lin mo grabbed hold of xu fei, who was about to step forward. The killing intent of Xia you was directed at Xu Fei, which made him curious about how talented this guy was in the array Dao. ¡°i can break it in half an hour.¡± xu fei patted his chest and said with a confident expression. to break a rank 1 earth realm formation in half an hour, one had to be very proficient in formations. In the entire Eastern continent, there was probably no known spiritual array master who had such strength. ¡°Arrogant.¡± At the array flag area, someone sneered. In order to create an array flag that they could control, the divine Secrets Holy Land had spent a lot of resources. it could even be said that the value of this formation was comparable to that of a fragment of an immortal scripture. now that he had used it, he had to obtain a cultivation technique. ¡°If it¡¯s half an hour, although it¡¯s a little troublesome, it¡¯s not impossible ¡­¡± all of a sudden, a carefree chuckle could be heard. The originally indestructible space actually cracked open at this moment. This shocked everyone present. The earth level formation had sealed the space, so how could someone still come in? ¡°They¡¯ve finally arrived ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s tense expression finally relaxed when he saw who it was. the person who had come was bai luo. he was dressed in white and walked out of the spatial crack. he had an unorganized appearance and spoke casually. ¡°Eighth sky of Nirvana stage, how is that possible?¡± the divine secrets holy land¡¯s elders were shocked and in disbelief. lin mo¡¯s cultivation speed was slightly faster than xia you¡¯s. after all, he had the god devouring body, which allowed him to advance at an extremely fast speed. However, Bai Luo did not have any special physique. How could he cultivate so quickly? ¡°I have no choice. If you didn¡¯t come, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯d be cut into eight pieces.¡± Bai Luo laughed as he walked down from the sky. He looked at Xu Fei and continued, ¡± ¡°Can you really break it in half an hour?¡± If Xu Fei was truly able to break through the earth-rank great array within half an hour, then his talent would truly be terrifying. Even in the southern land where she was from, such geniuses were rare. of course. In terms of formations, if I claim to be the second best in the entire Eastern Peninsula, no one would dare claim to be the best. Xu Fei¡¯s confidence rose immediately. He had seen through formations since he was young. if no one disturbed them, they would definitely be able to break it. ¡°I¡¯ll block this formation. You deal with this person and buy him some time.¡± After getting an affirmative answer, Bai Luo looked at Lin Mo. Other than the formation, there was also Saint Xia you, who would not allow Xu Fei to break the formation. ¡°Then let¡¯s fight.¡± Lin Mo laughed as the Daluo divine sword appeared. Sword Qi soared into the sky as flames and lightning raged. there was no doubt that this battle could not be avoided. he could only place his hopes on xu fei. Bai Luo and Xu Fei made their moves as well. A talisman appeared in Bai Luo¡¯s hand, and it was emitting a powerful light. ¡°This is my final trump card. After using it, I should leave ¡­¡± she sighed. her family had naturally given her a trump card since they were willing to let her enter the eastern continent to cultivate when she was weak. The grade of this talisman was hard to guess. When it was just unfolded, it actually faintly suppressed the earth level formation. Upon seeing this, Xu Fei was overjoyed. He ran to the edge of the formation, took out a small and exquisite formation flag, and set it up. His hands were engraved with strange runes. The expressions of the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s elders changed, and they hurriedly activated the array, wanting to suppress Bai Luo. At the same time, the battle between Lin Mo and Xia you had completely begun. ¡°Holy maiden, why do you have to do this? if you can afford it, I can give you the cultivation technique.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He had obtained the ¡®gods¡¯ decree ¡®out of the blue. If someone could afford it, he would naturally not mind selling it. However, he didn¡¯t know how powerful the heaven mending monument was, and there was probably no power in the eastern continent that could afford to pay for a cultivation technique. the divine Secrets Holy Land once had an ancient message that was suspected to have been left behind by the first Holy Lord. xia you said softly. ¡°What is it?¡± Lin Mo was curious. He asked as he blocked Xia you¡¯s attack. ¡°The Great Tribulation is coming, all gods, hear me!¡± Lin Mo felt a chill down his spine. what did this sentence have to do with the ¡°gods hearing decree¡±? or did the words just happen to overlap? ¡°How can this be? how can someone from the immemorial era predict what¡¯s happening now?¡± Lin Mo could not believe it. If there really was such an existence, could it be that it couldn¡¯t resist the passing of time? If that Saint Lord was still alive, why would he allow the divine Secrets Holy Land to decline in the eastern continent and not move to another continent ¡­ ¡°lin mo, that cultivation technique might belong to you, but the god devouring body has its own innate cultivation technique. the god devouring mantra is the most suitable for you.¡± ¡°give me the¡± gods hearing decree,¡±and we¡¯ll ascend the immortal platform together and head to the other continents.¡± Her attacks didn¡¯t slow down at all, but she couldn¡¯t do anything to Lin Mo. Xia you couldn¡¯t help but feel a little anxious. there¡¯s no need to say anything more. The cultivation technique is in Jiang xiyue¡¯s hands, and she¡¯s the one who¡¯s going to bid for it. Let¡¯s just end it with a battle. Lin Mo¡¯s fighting spirit was high. Saintess Xia you was known as the number one genius in the eastern continent. The eastern continent talents, who had once been suppressed, could not raise their heads. But now, he had risen to power. He really wanted to know who was stronger between the two. ¡°Qiang!¡± Saintess Xia you held a longsword in her hand. The blade of the sword glowed with a cold light, and the last trace of a smile on her face disappeared. Chapter 515 - Battling Saintess Xia You Lin Mo stood in the air with a calm expression. he held the daluo divine sword in his right hand, and lightning and fire surrounded him. The scene was a little depressing. The two of them were fighting, and many of the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s elders were nervous. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll kill you today.¡± ¡± i¡¯ll go with you, ¡± saint xia you said coldly, exuding an invisible pressure. at this moment, she was filled with killing intent, but there were no emotional fluctuations. her body and mind were empty, as ethereal as an immortal. ¡± then don¡¯t hold back. let me see what kind of power the divine secrets holy land¡¯s saintess has. ¡± Lin Mo said. he clenched his fist slightly. he knew how strong his opponent was and did not dare to be careless. this battle might really end in life and death ¡­ Although he had been shocked by the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s message, it was impossible for him to hand over the ¡± gods hearing decree ¡± directly. ¡°swish!¡± the space trembled slightly. xia you wielded her long sword, and a beam of sword qi slashed out. her figure left afterimages, as fast as lightning. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were clear, and there was no fear in them. He pushed his flames and lightning to the extreme and held the Daluo divine sword to meet the enemy. ¡°dang!¡± it was as if heavenly lightning had exploded between heaven and earth, shaking the earth. if fang yuan had been surrounded by a large array, the earth would have probably collapsed. the two of them exchanged blows without holding back. On the array flags, the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s elders didn¡¯t even dare to breathe as they stared at the battlefield. xia you looked like a fairy. her white dress was whiter than snow, and her skin was like jade. she looked at lin mo with her beautiful eyes. to be more precise, she was looking at the daluo divine sword in lin mo¡¯s hand. ¡°What a good divine sword. You¡¯re quite lucky.¡± Even though she was shocked by the Daluo divine sword¡¯s power, she was not weak. She leaped up and slashed down with her sword. A sharp sword Qi slashed down with a cold glint. The wind and thunder within it stimulated Lin Mo¡¯s body and brought with it a destructive aura. Lin Mo spread the kun Peng wings on his back and dodged the attack. even so, a corner of his sleeve was cut off and annihilated by the sword qi. ¡°BOOM!¡± A huge crack appeared on the ground below, forming a mountain stream. lin mo activated his god devouring body¡¯s domain to resist the power of wind and lightning. Taking advantage of the moment when Xia you¡¯s attack landed, he dodged the sword Qi and slashed down. holy maiden xia you retreated, and a pair of light green wings spread out behind her. a gentle breeze blew past, and she dodged the attack very gently. immediately after, she raised her left hand and formed a claw. green light burst forth, as if forming a powerful claw. behind her, a green bird was soaring and chirping. It was the ancient beast, the green Luan. This was a mutated beast that had long gone extinct in the eastern continent. It wasn¡¯t as strong as a divine beast, but it wasn¡¯t weak either. Among bird-type beasts, it was only second to a true Phoenix. However, this was only an incomplete technique. What Xia you had mastered was only the blue Luan claw of the blue Luan spell. even so, this move was extremely terrifying. lin mo¡¯s expression changed and green light emerged. this attack was extremely fast and difficult to dodge. as the divine secrets holy land¡¯s saintess, she naturally had many trump cards. To use the blue Luan claw, not only did one need to control the wind attribute to the extreme, one also needed to cultivate the physical body to the peak. She had already met the requirements, and had even exceeded them by a lot. Even if she were to compete with the God Devourer body in terms of physical strength, she wouldn¡¯t be inferior. seeing that the blue luan claw was so close, lin mo had no way to avoid it. he let out a long howl, and flames and lightning erupted. The two powers were forcefully fused by the God Devourer body. Space trembled as they were supplemented in Lin Mo¡¯s hand to face the blue Luan claw. ¡°boom!¡± This attack caused the space to fluctuate and some folds to appear. It let out a strange sound as if it couldn¡¯t withstand it any longer. the space sealed by the earth level formation could not hold on either, which showed how terrifying the battle between the two was. at that moment, even bai luo, who was using talismans to resist the formation in the sky, had a change in expression. lin mo had relied on the god devouring body and many natural treasures to reach this stage. one could imagine how hard it was. however, holy maiden xia you had also reached this stage, and her body was extremely strong. The energy ripples dissipated, and both of them were knocked back, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. at this moment, the web between their thumb and forefinger had split open, and their arms were also dripping with blood. both of them had suffered heavy injuries. it was hard to imagine the astonishing strength of the two. in a head-on clash, they were both injured. This battle was comparable to a showdown between the best of the best. It represented the confrontation between the younger generation of the eastern continent. Both of them could be called the strongest of the younger generation in the eastern continent. In the arena, the two of them looked at each other at the same time. They were silent, but their eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°There¡¯s not much time left. It¡¯s time to end the warm-up.¡± Holy maiden Xia you attacked again. The green wings on her back spread out. This was also an incomplete spell technique of the blue Luan. She quickly approached Lin Mo and exploded with lightning. It was as if she was carrying the might of the heavens as she pressed down. This time, the martial art she used was different. The blue Luan only provided speed. Her hand seals changed quickly as she used a powerful offensive martial art. ¡°Lin Mo can die in peace now that the Holy maiden has used her full strength.¡± At the edge of the array flags, an elder of the divine Secrets Holy Land sighed. Seeing the saintess go all out, he was relieved. ridiculous. Don¡¯t forget that Lin Mo still has the immemorial divine beast¡¯s incomplete technique. on the other side, bai luo mocked. it was true that xia you was very strong, but lin mo had not used his full strength either. The space trembled, and the folds that appeared earlier became more and more obvious, as if they were about to split open. saintess xia you stepped on the green lotus, and lotus petals flew out, surrounding lin mo. This martial art was extremely powerful. Each lotus petal was a sword Qi that carried a terrifying aura. Lin Mo raised his hand and the Daluo divine sword appeared in front of him. Lightning and flames spread across the sword. he activated the martial art heaven-splitting sword qi, which also transformed into thousands of sword qi. This weapon might not be a match for Xia you, but Lin Mo had the support of the Daluo divine sword, so it was enough. The sword Qi collided and caused a violent explosion. Thousands of sword Qi flew around, creating a chain reaction. The two of them were injured by this attack. The green Lotus under Xia you¡¯s feet shattered, and the lightning and flames around Lin Mo dissipated. At the same time, cracks had appeared in the folded space. In addition to Xu Fei¡¯s cracking, there was no way for the Grand formation to continue hiding. they were exposed to the world, and the energy ripples of the explosion were like lighthouses in the endless mountains, guiding others. seeing this, the two of them had different expressions on their faces. they looked at each other, and the killing intent in their eyes grew stronger. ¡°wind killing finger!¡± die! Holy maiden Xia you shouted coldly as she pointed out her right index finger. A violent wind whistled and swirled with spiritual energy, which then swept towards Lin Mo. it was still an earth level martial art, but she could easily use it. with one finger, she could penetrate the void and annihilate everything. ¡°No matter how many changes you make, I¡¯ll break it with my own strength.¡± die! Lin Mo shouted. The divine flames on his body moved rhythmically. They were no longer Dao flames but the divine flames of the Vermilion Bird, which possessed astonishing destructive power. His fist was wrapped in flames, and he punched out. ¡°boom!¡± the two powerful forces collided. the wind and fire attributes evolved to the extreme, forming a fire tornado and exploding in the air. There was a fluctuation in the space. The commotion of their battle had finally attracted a group of people. They looked at the formation and the battle in the formation with dumbfounded expressions. It was obvious that the scene was shocking and beyond their imagination. Chapter 516 - The Vermilion Bird vs. The True Phoenix the vermilion bird vs. the true hou He had originally thought that Lin Mo had saved Xu Fei, but he had not expected that he would be stopped by Holy maiden Xia you. Furthermore, when people saw that Bai Luo was already at the eighth sky of the Nirvana stage, the shock in their hearts was indescribable. ¡°oh my god, this is the most shocking scene i¡¯ve ever seen.¡± the battle between Lin Mo and Holy maiden Xia you is a pinnacle battle. many people were shocked and kept calling their friends over. the people in the mountain range quickly gathered, looking forward to the battle between lin mo and xia you. ¡°Even if you break the formation now, you can¡¯t escape. Why bother?¡± When Holy maiden Xia you saw that someone had discovered this place, she tried to persuade him again. ¡°you don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± Lin Mo sneered. the two of them started fighting again, from swordsmanship to dao laws, to martial arts, and finally to close combat. under the confrontation of fists and palms, it was hard to separate. ¡°Bang!¡± lin mo¡¯s left shoulder was hit by xia you¡¯s palm, and a terrifying power exploded. If he hadn¡¯t used the spirit devouring technique at the end to devour more than half of this power, his left shoulder and left hand would¡¯ve been broken. At the same time, he also counterattacked. As he dodged, he moved to the back of Xia you and punched her back. ¡°You¡¯re so stubborn, die!¡± Saintess Xia you coughed out a mouthful of blood, her hair disheveled. She looked at Lin Mo coldly, and her aura instantly rose. In the blink of an eye, a shadow appeared behind her, exuding a terrifying pressure. ¡°Ruthless!¡± a pair of seven-colored wings with red as the main color grew, and terrifying crimson flames spread. ¡°True Kang?¡± Someone was shocked. He had seen through Xia you¡¯s technique. That pair of wings was the wings of a true Phoenix. It was the immemorial divine beast, the true Phoenix. Lin Mo raised his hand and conjured a seal. The divine flames of the Vermilion Bird erupted around him, and the projection of a Vermilion Bird appeared behind him. the vermilion bird against the true hou. both of them were divine beasts from the immemorial era and were extremely powerful. right now, a pin against an awn, who was stronger and who was weaker? ¡°Bang!¡± The battle continued, and all of their trump cards were used. The divine flames of the Vermilion Bird clashed with the flames of the true Phoenix. The divine flames exploded, causing the temperature here to skyrocket. ¡± hey, don¡¯t make too much noise. you¡¯re affecting me. ¡± Not far away, Xu Fei said in an extremely dissatisfied manner. He was trying to break the formation with a peace of mind. In the end, Lin Mo and Xia you¡¯s battle became more and more violent, and many of his formation flags were destroyed. It had only been ten minutes, and he had just created a small opening that affected the balance of the array. Now that he was disturbed, he was very dissatisfied. ¡°You should be more reliable.¡± Lin Mo cursed angrily. This fellow did not take proper precautions and was still complaining when he was disturbed ¡­ ¡°You still dare to be distracted while fighting me?¡± holy maiden xia you¡¯s eyes were sharp, and she seized the opportunity to attack. One of her hands suddenly turned into a claw with scorching flames on it. It was unstoppable. ¡°so powerful ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was no longer the blue Phoenix claw, but the true Phoenix claw. The power it emitted was even more terrifying. As expected of a force that had been passed down from the ancient times. It even controlled the incomplete technique of the true Phoenix ¡­ Even if it was an incomplete technique, this claw was enough to destroy the heavens and earth. Lin Mo blocked it with the Daluo divine sword. ¡°Chi!¡± Sword-light surged, and the ever-victorious Daluo divine sword was suppressed this time. Saintess Xia you held on tightly to the sword¡¯s edge, allowing the sharp blade to slice through her palm, leaving no injury. ¡°Return it.¡± die! Lin Mo shouted as lightning and flames spread. He activated the heaven-splitting sword Qi and slashed at the true Nirvana claws. Under the attack of thousands of sword Qi, Xia you did not dare to delay. She let go of the Daluo divine sword and grabbed at Lin Mo again. ¡°Four cloud pierces.¡± lin mo shouted. The flames around his body were mobilized and gathered in front of Lin Mo before finally blasting towards the true Nirvana claws. He leaped up and his entire body seemed to merge into the ball of flames. The divine flames of the Vermilion Bird grew even stronger, forcing the true Phoenix claw to retreat. ¡± what an intense battle. it¡¯s my great fortune to be able to witness this battle. ¡± Some people sighed. This was a battle between the top geniuses of the eastern Peninsula. ¡°chi.¡± saintess xia you retracted her true phoenix claw and flew out. the true phoenix phantom behind her was drawn in and gradually merged into her body. the battle between the true Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird is too shocking ¡­ everyone was shocked. lin mo and xia you had already comprehended the vermilion bird and true kang incomplete techniques to the extreme. The explosion from the collision was so loud that it almost pierced everyone¡¯s eardrums. many powerhouses were shocked and their expressions turned serious. The battle between the two was too powerful, and they had already grown so much that they were unstoppable. after a while, the true phoenix¡¯s flames and the vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames disappeared. Lin Mo emerged from the flames and retreated continuously. His steps were a little unsteady and he almost fell from the sky. It was the same for Saint Xia you. There were burn marks on her palms, but no blood flowed out. They were all burnt. Both of them were injured. they each took out a spirit pill and their injuries gradually improved after taking it. the two of them looked at each other and an inexplicable aura spread. in the end, the battle started again, and the auras of both sides grew stronger. lin mo felt his god devourer body start to work unconsciously, and the spirit stones in the system space were being consumed. This was a sign of a breakthrough, and it was almost impossible to suppress. In the distance, Holy maiden Xia you was in the same state. The aura on her body was in chaos, and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was constantly surging into her body. the two of them continued to exchange blows, using all sorts of martial arts and runes to engage in a bloody battle. no way, he had an epiphany during the battle and is about to advance? ¡± the fluctuations on their bodies were also seen by outsiders, and they were all dumbfounded. if one wanted to break through to the nirvana stage, who wouldn¡¯t find a quiet place to cultivate in peace, comprehend the dao laws of heaven and earth, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to break through? And now, the two of them were originally fighting to the death, but in the end, they had inexplicably found an opportunity to break through. ¡± that¡¯s not right. the god devouring body doesn¡¯t need laws to break through. why is lin mo breaking through too? ¡± someone asked. the God Devourer body can break through without using laws, but that doesn¡¯t mean it can¡¯t be broken through using laws. someone replied. lin mo was currently in such a situation. he had found an opportunity during the battle and immediately gained enlightenment. however, compared to xia you¡¯s breakthrough, lin mo¡¯s breakthrough was more difficult. This was because saintess Xia you only needed to go through enlightenment to become sexy, but Lin Mo still needed to devour a large amount of heaven and earth energy. otherwise, the god devouring body would devour the host¡¯s cultivation and life force. In the current situation, if Lin Mo was not well prepared, the moment his cultivation was devoured would be the day of his death. ¡°Damn it, why is it at this time ¡­¡± On the battlefield, Lin Mo was also very helpless. Without a doubt, he did not have enough resources, unless Bai Luo made a trip back. Although he had enough resources on hand, he was still lacking a lot. He needed the heavenly pill provided by the system. ¡°lin mo, swear on your dao heart. if you give me the cultivation technique, i¡¯ll let you go to the purple moon palace¡¯s treasury to retrieve resources.¡± A smile finally appeared on Holy maiden Xia you¡¯s calm face. The situation that had been without a breakthrough had finally taken a turn ¡­ ¡°in your dreams ¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered and rushed over again, engaging in an intense battle with Xia you. It was even more intense than before. he had to hurry up and end the battle ¡­ Chapter 517 - Dangerous Situation ¡°BOOM!¡± in an instant, the aura around xia you¡¯s body changed. her spiritual energy surged, and she was infinitely close to the 8th sky of nirvana realm. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and symbols flickered in her eyes. he exuded a special aura that formed a domain around him, suppressing lin mo. The God devouring body¡¯s domain was also suppressed. This was the first time Lin Mo¡¯s God devouring body had been suppressed since he had stepped out of the Dao. ¡°Swish!¡± Holy maiden Xia you raised her hand. Lightning flashed, Thunder rumbled, and the wind howled. Her entire body was wrapped in sacred runes, and her aura skyrocketed. Even Bai Luo¡¯s expression changed, much less Lin Mo¡¯s. Xia you had broken through. In just a few breaths, she had reached the 8th sky of the Nirvana realm. At this moment, she would dominate the battlefield. Unless Bai Luo made a move, no one would be able to stop her. ¡°lin mo, this is your last chance. are you still not going to admit defeat?¡± she said expressionlessly. Everyone was shocked. Was Lin Mo going to be defeated? the disadvantage of the God devouring body was apparent. He was no match for it. lin mo¡¯s expression was calm as he replied indifferently, ¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a breakthrough. It¡¯s still unknown who¡¯s stronger.¡± ¡± you and i are almost on par in terms of combat strength. if we were at the same cultivation level, we might both be injured. but now that i¡¯ve broken through, you¡¯ll definitely lose. ¡± holy maiden xia you said. At this moment, there were still 15 minutes to go before the 30-minute mark. Although Xu Fei had already opened up a crack in the formation, it was clearly not enough for the three of them to escape. with a boom, the sword qi in the sky exploded with the momentum of wind and thunder. xia you made her move, forming a sword spell with her hands and stepping on a green lotus. her body was covered by immortal qi and could not be seen clearly. This move was unleashed to the extreme by Holy maiden Xia you, and it was one of the powerful martial arts techniques in the divine Secrets Holy Land. Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely shocked. Xia you was too heaven-defying. She was only in the Nirvana realm, but she could already use an earth level martial art to the extreme. ¡°You and I have the same techniques. How can you make up for the difference in our realms?¡± Xia you said, her eyes cold. she would not hold back anymore and would use all her strength to kill lin mo. in front of her, spiritual qi gathered and thousands of sword qi were guided to form a peerless divine sword, shaking the entire array. Green Lotus sword spell, fatal blow. This was the strongest Sword Art in the divine Secrets Holy Land. It was rank five Earth Class and was undeniably the strongest Sword Art in the eastern continent. ¡°The God devouring body does not only bring me trouble ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body glowed, and his aura continued to rise without stopping. However, there was a faint feeling that he was lacking. At this moment, his entire body was emitting symbols, and waves of devouring power were uncontrollably drilling out. this was the first time he had used the god devouring body like this, completely releasing the devouring power. His comprehension of the Dao law was also mixed in to deal with Xia you¡¯s attack. ¡°Eh, I¡¯ve never seen Lin Mo use this move before ¡­¡± Some people were shocked when they saw many special runes appear on Lin Mo¡¯s surface. A black hole appeared, and with him as the center, it began to devour the spiritual Qi from all directions. Even the formation was not spared, and many of them were devoured. ¡°what a terrifying devouring power. is this the god devouring body?¡± Some people were shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s trump card had finally been forced out. They had never seen him use it like this in previous battles. However, could this move really make up for the gap in realm? ¡°boom!¡± With lightning and thunder, Xia you¡¯s attack arrived. The divine sword contained a power that could destroy everything. on the other hand, lin mo¡¯s black hole expanded, but he was so fragile that he was easily pierced by the divine sword. ¡°sigh, there¡¯s no other way. we can¡¯t block it.¡± Seeing this, some people sighed. Lin Mo had lost in the end. Holy maiden Xia you deserved to be the number one genius of the eastern continent. ¡°Chi!¡± the peerless divine sword slashed down, and the destructive sword qi exploded. However, Lin Mo did not panic at all in the face of the divine sword. He gathered all the power that the black hole had absorbed. At the same time, when the divine sword approached Lin Mo¡¯s forehead, it was blocked and could not advance an inch. He raised his hand and blocked the divine sword again. Power continued to gather and offset it. under the mutual erosion, the black hole was severely damaged, and cracks appeared on the divine sword. the two sides were destroyed. lin mo was shocked. was this the martial arts passed down in the divine secrets holy land? it was so powerful and the sword qi was sharp. if not for the god devouring body¡¯s ability to devour all power for its own use, he would not have been able to block it. On the other side, Holy maiden Xia you was also very shocked. She had clearly used all her strength, but she had still been blocked. How many more tricks did Lin Mo have up his sleeve? ¡± it¡¯s hard to imagine that lin mo didn¡¯t fall into a disadvantageous position and still managed to block it. he¡¯s clearly at a lower realm. ¡± Everyone present was very shocked as they watched the battle in the formation. They had thought that Lin Mo would die or be severely injured by this move. Who would have thought that he would be able to block it? ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. ¡± hmph! ¡± saintess xia you snorted coldly and attacked. she had seen through lin mo¡¯s moves and didn¡¯t intend to give him any chance to catch his breath. furthermore, a layer of moon-white armor appeared on her body, as if it allowed her to ascend and become an immortal. she emitted wisps of immortal qi, making her look like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. she was the darling of heaven and earth, with dao runes attached to her body. ¡°Slash!¡± holy maiden xia you shouted coldly and slashed out with her sword. ¡°If you want to kill me, you¡¯d better hurry up. Once I break through, you won¡¯t have the chance anymore.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. At this moment, the two of them used everything they had. All kinds of spells that had been passed down from ancient times were unleashed. Holy maiden Xia you¡¯s spiritual energy continued to be consumed. In the end, the green Lotus under her feet turned into a physical entity, and a shocking sword energy burst out. ¡°chi!¡± anyone with eyes could tell that it was a magic tool, at least rank 3 earth class. holy maiden xia you activated three earth-grade dharma artifacts at once. under their support, their power was extremely terrifying. The green Lotus sword spell was formed again, and the peerless godly sword appeared again. Even though Lin Mo had the God devouring body and could devour attacks for his own use, there was still a limit. at this moment, saintess xia you used all her strength. she didn¡¯t want to delay any longer, and wanted to finish this quickly. ¡°boom!¡± A terrifying divine sword descended from the sky, surrounded by thousands of Green Lotus sword Qi. Xia you¡¯s figure became hazy, and a terrifying aura pressed down. Lin Mo looked at the divine sword and knew that things would be difficult this time. However, it was a good thing that there was still a chance for things to turn around. Bai Luo had already used the talisman to completely suppress the formation. In addition, the battle between the two of them caused too much of a commotion, and the formation was constantly being attacked. Xu Fei was worthy of being called a genius of formations. He had already broken a corner of the Grand formation. Bai Luo, bring Xu Fei and leave first. I know you have a plan. Lin Mo was helpless. He told Bai Luo to bring Bai Luo and escape quickly. ¡°i¡¯m not leaving. i won¡¯t leave my brother behind and run away.¡± on the other side, xu fei directly said. Lin Mo was a little taken aback by his righteous words. This guy was quite loyal at such a critical moment. ¡± bai luo, please, i can leave. ¡± lin mo raised his head and said. in front of him, the black hole he had released was already damaged, but it had only been able to block the divine sword for a dozen seconds. the black hole exploded, and lin mo suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Chapter 518 - Battle Again After Breaking Through Immediately after, he formed a hand seal and put away the Daluo divine sword. Countless heavenly treasures appeared in the system space. in the next moment, the energy of these treasures was devoured by the god devourer body. Lin Mo¡¯s body was also wrapped in flames, and the faint cries of true phoenixes could be heard. ¡®Nirvana of the true Phoenix¡¯. .. Does he have enough resources to break through ¡­ When Bai Luo saw Lin Mo¡¯s actions, he was a little confused. However, it was not the time to be worried about this. She formed a seal with both hands and ignited the talisman in front of her. Then, a terrifying explosion sounded. in the next moment, her figure appeared before xu fei. she grabbed his shoulder, and the kun peng wings appeared behind her. With a light flap, the two figures disappeared. no one stopped him. or rather, no one could stop him. bai luo, who was at the eighth sky of nirvana stage, with the kun peng wings, if he really wanted to escape, even an existence like tian sha could not stop him. ¡± you¡¯re putting up a stubborn resistance. bai luo has left, and you¡¯re the only one left. i¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to escape. ¡± holy maiden xia you frowned. the immortal scroll was taken away, but there were some losses. Fortunately, Lin Mo was still around. With him, Jiang xiyue would have to hand over the cultivation technique. She raised her hand and dispersed the peerless divine sword in the sky. All the power dissipated. In fact, even the formation had disappeared, and most of the formation flags were damaged. however, a portion of it had been retrieved and could still be used next time. ¡°Saintess, is it okay to remove the formation like this?¡± An elder bowed, puzzled. lin mo also knew the kun peng wings. if he chose to escape instead of fighting after his breakthrough, they would not be able to stop him. ¡°It¡¯s fine, good news will be good news from now on.¡± holy maiden xia you waved her hand and sat cross-legged in the air, starting to recover her energy. At that moment, Lin Mo had already completely activated the Nirvana of the true Phoenix. the amount of resources required to break through to the eighth sky of nirvana realm was extremely terrifying. what he had was far from enough. Fortunately, half an hour later, the system¡¯s voice finally came. ¡± congratulations on completing the mission. you have received a rank 9 earth class spiritual pill, the heavenly pill. ¡± within half an hour, bai luo had already sent xu fei away, allowing him to leave safely. lin mo¡¯s mission had been completed, and the auction house¡¯s reputation had been restored. the system¡¯s reward had finally arrived. ¡°There¡¯s a ray of light at the end of the tunnel ¡­¡± He was elated. Luckily, Bai Luo was helping him. Otherwise, he would be in danger today. At this moment, he didn¡¯t hold back or suppress his God devouring body anymore. He just urged the God devouring technique with all of his power. First, a small black hole appeared in his dantian. Within the black hole, lightning and flames extended and danced within it. An endless stream of energy was being devoured. However, this was far from enough. The energy was quickly devoured completely. in the next moment, a golden-red spiritual pill appeared in lin mo¡¯s dantian. a divine light flickered. this was the heavenly pill, which contained extremely pure power. at the same time, lin mo had the illusion that his understanding of fire and lightning had improved. his blood became boiling hot, as if there was a flame burning. lightning flickered on his body, giving off a divine light. after breaking through to the 8th sky, his god devouring body had transformed once again. Lin Mo¡¯s aura began to surge, and in just a few breaths, the true phoenix egg he had transformed into exploded. the black hole spread out, swallowing spiritual energy from all directions. the heavenly pill in his dantian shattered and was further digested, completely absorbed by lin mo. His cultivation had also advanced at this moment, reaching the eighth sky of Nirvana realm. this was a sublimation, an extreme sublimation. ¡°Kill!¡± lin mo let out a long howl. as soon as he broke out of his shell, he took out the daluo divine sword, ready to fight with xia you. ¡°It¡¯s been twelve hours. You¡¯re breaking through too slowly.¡± Xia you said calmly as the green Lotus appeared beneath her feet again. The three magic items were activated at the same time, and the world-shaking divine sword that could destroy the world appeared again. Wind and thunder mixed together. Runes and sword Qi exploded. Without the protection of the formation, people finally knew what kind of damage Xia you Holy maiden could cause. ¡°Quickly retreat!¡± Many people were shocked. If this sword really fell, this mountain range would be destroyed. The divine sword shocked the world, and people did not dare to resist. They could only flee for their lives. However, under the divine sword that caused everyone¡¯s expression to change, Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as a purple light appeared under his feet. the purple divine light slowly gathered, and a qilin mark appeared. in the end, the qilin pattern glowed with a bright light, and a vast amount of spiritual qi was injected into it. it began a fierce battle with the divine sword. This was an earth-shattering collision, but no one had the time to appreciate it. They were all running away. Holy maiden Xia you was shocked. Lin Mo had used the Qilin steps, which she had seen before. It was very powerful. this made her understand that she could no longer crush him like before. the qilin steps were too terrifying. although the divine sword had destroyed the qilin symbol, it was also shattered by the terrifying power. Tens of thousands of sword Qi scattered in all directions. Within a radius of dozens of miles, towering trees were cut in half, mountains were cut open, and mountains collapsed. lin mo charged forward with the daluo divine sword through his sword qi. runes bloomed all over xia you¡¯s body as she unleashed all sorts of techniques and martial arts. a pair of true phoenix wings spread open, and flames swept through the sky. However, no matter how many changes she made, Lin Mo was able to break through them all. The Daluo divine sword showed its power, and the God devouring body absorbed the spiritual Qi from all directions, giving him enough energy to fight against ten opponents. This was the most difficult battle he had ever encountered, but it was also the battle he desired the most. the shockwaves of the battle pierced through the space. the two of them held their swords and fought, shaking the surroundings. ¡°True hou claw.¡± Holy maiden Xia you used the true Phoenix claw, and her true Phoenix spell technique was unleashed to its extreme. It was as if her entire body had transformed into a true Phoenix. In response, Lin Mo used the Vermilion Bird spell technique to resist. The cloud piercer burst forth with a sea of Vermilion Bird divine flames. ¡°Scatter!¡± break! Holy maiden Xia you shouted as she used her true Phoenix claws to tear apart the sea of fire. She activated all the spiritual Qi in her body. ¡± boom! ¡± the true nirvana claws burst forth again, even stronger than before. she had also transformed into the true nirvana form and pounced at lin mo. This was the true Nirvana claw¡¯s cultivation and comprehension to the extreme. however, the fact that xia you could do this with her nirvana stage strength was enough for her to be proud of. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo did not show any weakness. The divine flames of the Vermilion Bird enveloped him, and he himself seemed to have transformed into a Vermilion Bird. the two spell techniques were unleashed to their limits and exploded forth. Soon, his body was bleeding and his chest was scratched by the true Nirvana claws, leaving three bloody wounds. the wound was so deep that his bones could be seen, and lin mo¡¯s waist was almost broken. However, Xia you wasn¡¯t in a good state either. The true Phoenix Phantom behind her disappeared, and one of her arms was badly mutilated. There were even some bone fragments on it, and one of her arms had almost been shattered by Lin Mo. everyone turned pale with fright. the battle between the two was a draw again, and they both retreated with heavy injuries. In fact, when the two of them were fighting in secret, there were many strong people in the ninth heaven who wanted to intervene. however, when they thought about it, they realized that they could not interfere. The two of them could even kill a level nine expert with one punch. Chapter 519 - Splitting Open the Sky ¡°pfft ¡­¡± xia you coughed up blood and staggered back again. the pain in her arm made her unable to remain calm. ¡°It¡¯s indeed troublesome after the God devouring body breaks through ¡­¡± She furrowed her brows tightly. The situation that she was originally in had now become like this. ¡°forget it ¡­¡± with a soft sigh, xia you took out a spirit pill and swallowed it. ¡°if i continue to fight with you with my true strength, i¡¯m afraid that in the end, both of us will be injured.¡± She had already lost her patience. No matter what, she had to take down Lin Mo today. ¡°heavenly immortal art, split open the heavens!¡± die! she shouted as her bright eyes flickered with a faint green light. Then, her entire temperament changed, giving people a feeling of wanting to worship her. ¡°what is this?¡± The people were shocked once again. In just one day, they had seen many shocking scenes. the saintess xia you stepped on the green lotus. she had put away her sword and her armor. In its place were wisps of milky white gas. lin mo¡¯s pupils contracted. he was very clear about this feeling. this was the qi of myriad existences, the purest and most powerful force in the world. legend had it that this was the origin of all living things, and it could give birth to everything. anyone who obtained it, even if it was just a trace, would be able to use it for life. but now, her entire body was wrapped in the myriad qi. it was hard to imagine what kind of opportunity this was. ¡°BOOM!¡± all of a sudden, the heavens and earth changed. a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, striking lin mo. this bolt of heavenly lightning was extremely terrifying, and it was enough to kill a level nine expert. Lin Mo raised his sword to block it. He looked up at the sky and found a crack. It was not a simple spatial crack. Instead, it was this world. A crack had appeared in the barrier that protected the world. It was neither big nor small, just enough to accommodate some lightning passing through. The heavenly lightning fell, but it seemed to have a purpose. they focused on attacking lin mo, not giving him any time to catch his breath. ¡°What happened?¡± lin mo didn¡¯t dare to be careless when the lightning struck. on the other side, xia you emerged from the myriad qi. a wispy immortal qi emanated from her body. as she casually raised her hand, the heavenly lightning in the sky seemed to be summoned by her and jumped on her fingertips. Lin Mo was careless and almost failed to Dodge the lightning. However, even though he dodged most of it, he was still grazed by some of the lightning. A bloody mark appeared on his arm, and his arm was almost cut off. ¡°Heavenly lightning, strangle!¡± you¡¯re dead, ¡± Holy maiden Xia you said softly. She raised her hand, and lightning struck down on Lin Mo. the most brutal battle had begun. however, this was only relative to lin mo¡¯s situation. his situation was not optimistic. The kun Peng flapped its wings and left a trail of afterimages in the air. He kept trying to find an opportunity to get closer to Xia you, trying to interrupt her, but he was blocked by the heavenly lightning. this scene left everyone dumbfounded. no one had expected the battle to reach this stage. what was this move that holy maiden xia you was using? what was even more terrifying was that lin mo had not been defeated even after she had summoned the heavenly lightning. Although he was in a sorry state, he was still looking for an opportunity to counterattack. from the beginning to the end, the god devouring body¡¯s domain was released, but it was no longer able to devour xia you¡¯s power. The Qi of myriad existences protected it well. As for the heavenly Tribulation, its power was too violent. Even if he could devour it, Lin Mo would still have to withstand a certain amount of attacks. ¡°boom!¡± Lin Mo had destroyed many magic tools during the battle. He had left them behind on purpose, but they would all be destroyed by the heavenly lightning. it was a tough battle that lasted for four hours. while he was fighting against the heavenly tribulation, he was also fighting with xia you. in the end, he was severely injured and almost died at the hands of the other party. at this moment, xia you¡¯s forehead was also covered in sweat. It was a burden for her to control the heavenly Tribulation all the time. Although she was nourished by the myriad Qi, she couldn¡¯t keep it up. In the distance, Lin Mo consumed the last healing spirit pill he had. he was in a bad situation and could lose his life at any moment. however, saintess xia you¡¯s attacks had also slowed down, and the heavenly lightning didn¡¯t fall for a long time. most of the time, it was just a deterrent. ¡°when your strength is exhausted, xia you, you are out of skills.¡± Lin Mo sneered. The God devouring body devoured spirit Qi, so he was still in peak condition. He was just injured and did not have any healing spirit pills. Everyone was shocked. Xia you had used such a terrifying killing move, but she was still unable to kill Lin Mo ¡­ ¡± aren¡¯t you the same? the god devouring body keeps you at your peak, but your spirit, qi, and soul are all exhausted. ¡± Holy maiden Xia you said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. ¡°What are you going to do next? do you want to continue fighting or go back to the auction?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. It was already the second day, and the auction was about to begin. the cultivation technique was not with him, so there was no benefit in continuing to waste time here. ¡°Can I really get it?¡± holy maiden xia you looked at lin mo. lin mo did not say anything as he gripped the daluo divine sword tightly. ¡°BOOM!¡± All of a sudden, heavenly lightning struck, and everyone¡¯s hair stood on end. this was because the attack was not only aimed at lin mo, but also at them. they were all under attack. ¡°saintess, it¡¯s not our fault.¡± Some people begged for mercy because the heavenly lightning was too terrifying. It was even more terrifying than when they were going through the heavenly Tribulation. A destructive aura spread out. This time, the heavenly lightning launched an indiscriminate attack. ¡°It wasn¡¯t me. What¡¯s going on?¡± holy maiden xia you was also shocked. When he looked up, he realized that the crack in the sky had become bigger and was still expanding. ¡°You¡¯ve gotten yourself into a big mess ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. The thing that he was most worried about had come. The true calamity of the eastern continent had come ¡­ ¡°impossible. the heavenly immortal chant can communicate with the rules of heaven and earth and use the qi of myriad existences to temporarily open the crack, but it won¡¯t expand,¡± Saintess Xia you shook her head. At this moment, she had also experienced Lin Mo¡¯s pain. He had been injured by the heavenly lightning. Moreover, because she had the myriad Qi in her body, it seemed that the heavenly Thunder had given her special attention. ¡°Guys, look at the sky ¡­¡± Someone trembled and pointed at the sky, unable to complete his sentence. In the sky, the crack had already expanded to a hundred miles. Heavenly lightning was pouring out. This place had suffered a destructive blow. ¡°there¡¯s someone there!¡± Another person cried out in surprise. They saw many figures in the sky. They were all wearing black robes and flying up. ¡°what a strong smell of blood. this is a heretic practitioner, a member of the hidden ghost sect.¡± the crowd immediately guessed the identity of the other party, but at the same time, they were also shocked as to why the hidden ghost sect had appeared here. moreover, the heavenly lightning¡¯s attack was extremely yang and strong, and it was fatal to them. Even the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master did not dare to face the heavenly lightning ¡­ ¡± hahaha, thank you for your help, holy maiden. if it wasn¡¯t for you opening the sky, i really don¡¯t know what to do ¡­ ¡± under the heavenly lightning, a pitch-black figure appeared. it was a man with a feminine appearance. he was very young, but his face was pale. He had a crazy smile on his face as he looked at the lightning in the sky. ¡°let the heavenly lightning strike more violently. everyone, sacrifice the array ¡­¡± Chapter 520 - The Ghost King the ghost king As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a shock in their hearts. Lin Mo and Holy maiden Xia you also stopped fighting and looked at the members of the hidden ghost sect. they took out array flags and inserted them into the void. the next moment, they actually self-detonated. miserable shrieks filled the air. in less than a minute, the group of experts from the hidden ghost sect had all died, leaving only their souls floating in the air. ¡°This group ¡­ He¡¯s crazy.¡± lin mo muttered, feeling that something was wrong. xia you¡¯s opening of the sky had made him think of many things, and now that the hidden ghost sect had appeared, it made him very uneasy. ¡°Boom boom boom!¡± Thunder boomed, and a terrifying bolt of lightning fell, striking Lin Mo and Xia you. ¡°Bang!¡± lin mo coughed up a mouthful of blood because the speed was too fast. there was no way to block it. this was not the power of the nirvana stage. it was too powerful and he could not fight against it. haha, this old man has been dormant for many years. Finally, I can dissolve the devil fetus and complete my transformation ¡­ The hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master laughed loudly. He had also been struck by the heavenly lightning, but he was strong enough to withstand it. although his body was injured, the demonic qi in his body was changing. this was because the heavenly tribulation contained a righteous energy that could refine evil energy. it was the nemesis of all evil. He didn¡¯t know what method the sect master of the hidden ghost sect had used to transform the demonic Qi in his body. Now, he had already become a normal cultivator ¡­ ¡°This feeling ¡­ The old me can finally advance a step further ¡­¡± He laughed madly, and the heavenly lightning poured down, but it could no longer do anything to him. ¡°it¡¯s him, the ghost king ¡­¡± saint xia you clutched her charred left arm and exclaimed in shock. she had recognized this person. ¡°The ghost king?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Which era was this person from? ¡± the ghost king was a top genius eight thousand years ago. when he was born, his name shook the eastern continent. ¡± however, he has evil intentions. In order to quickly advance his cultivation, he became an evil cultivator and specifically hunted some experts to devour their souls and bloodlines. he was an evil cultivator through and through. in the early stages of cultivation, he could not kill a large number of cultivators, so he pointed his butcher¡¯s knife at mortals. this aroused public anger, and the whole world wanted to annihilate him. however, in the end, he still managed to survive with great difficulty and was not killed. as she said this, xia you finally realized that the hidden ghost sect was also born during that era. At first, it was just an assassin organization. Although it was disgusting, it was not considered an evil cultivator. these people who sacrificed themselves to the formation might be the souls that he had killed and devoured with his evil techniques all these years. ¡± he lived in a strange way, but he controlled it. ¡± ¡°you guessed it right, but you¡¯ve underestimated me ¡­¡± The ghost king flew down while Holy maiden Xia you was still explaining. ¡°To be precise, I¡¯m the only one in the entire hidden ghost sect ¡­¡± as soon as he said that, everyone at the scene was shocked. This is too inconceivable, the entire hidden ghost sect is controlled by this guy? ¡°pfft ¡­¡± some people suddenly appeared in the crowd. they raised their butcher¡¯s knives and swung them at the people around them. ¡°Old Li, what are you doing?¡± Some people were shocked, not understanding why their old friends would swing their butcher¡¯s knife at them. ¡°the weak have no right to share the joy of success with me.¡± the ghost king smiled and slowly descended. he ignored the lightning and arrived in front of lin mo and xia you. ¡°As for the two of you, it¡¯s a pity that you can¡¯t control it by devouring souls ¡­¡± he shook his head helplessly. it wasn¡¯t easy for him to convert the evil cultivation technique in his body. before he broke through to immortal-foundation, he didn¡¯t want to devour any more souls. As for killing him, that would be even more impossible. The people from the two forces would definitely come after him ¡­ ¡± forget it. when this king breaks through to the immortal-foundation realm, the entire eastern continent will be mine ¡­ ¡± After saying that, he left the two of them behind and tore open a space to leave. As for the great formation in the sky, most of its formation flags had been destroyed by the heavenly lightning, so he was not interested in collecting them. ¡°So, do you still plan to fight?¡± Lin Mo looked at Holy maiden Xia you. the two of them looked a little miserable. their bodies were charred black by the heavenly lightning, and their skin was damaged in many places. Furthermore, perhaps it was the ghost king¡¯s intention, the many elders of the divine Secrets Holy Land were all gone ¡­ They had all been killed, and now that Xia you was all alone and helpless, it was impossible to keep Lin Mo. ¡°we will meet again ¡­¡± Saintess Xia you was not in the mood to stay any longer. The ghost king had taken advantage of the opening of the sky, and the situation was a little complicated now. the crack in the sky was slowly expanding, and it could no longer stop. She had some understanding of the catastrophe in the eastern continent, so she had to go back as soon as possible to prepare. as for lin mo, he did not care about the people who were being slaughtered. the strong preyed on the weak, and he was not a saint. moreover, these people¡¯s initial goal was to kill him ¡­ ¡°what exactly is the so-called calamity of the eastern peninsula?¡± Even now, Lin Mo could not figure out who had set up that barrier. what kind of expert could have such terrifying means? As for the hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, GUI Wang¡¯s methods, he could see some clues. among the formation flags in the sky, he accidentally saw the green sky treasure wheel formation, which he had sold to the ghost king. This also explained why the ghost king had suddenly appeared in the sacred fire space of the Saint burning valley, and his goal was only a broken array ¡­ ¡°Cough. cough ¡­¡± he coughed out another mouthful of blood. lin mo was suffering from the lightning tribulation, and his injuries were getting worse. That was heavenly lightning, lightning that could destroy mountains and rivers. No matter how fast he was, he couldn¡¯t block such a dense lightning. ¡°Oh,¡± A sea of fire suddenly appeared in front of them. Someone had attacked Lin Mo outside the heavenly lightning bolts, trying to kill him. there were also some traces of battle outside. it was obvious that xia you had been attacked when she left. ¡°get lost.¡± Lin Mo bellowed. He extended his soul power and instantly locked onto his opponent¡¯s position. The moment his opponent attacked, his figure disappeared. he spread his kun peng wings and moved as fast as lightning. flames mixed with lightning streaked across the sky as he activated his spiritual energy to attack the man. this place instantly exploded, and flames filled the sky, emitting a dazzling light that enveloped the entire area. ¡°chi!¡± A hook chain pierced through the air and flashed with silver light. It pierced through the flames and headed straight for Lin Mo¡¯s back. Someone else made a move. Some of them went after Xia you, while others chose to stay. Their target was Lin Mo. The attacker was powerful and was also at the 8th sky of Nirvana realm. Lin Mo had just launched his attack, so he acted at the right time and was extremely ruthless. lin mo¡¯s body glowed, and a black hole spread out. he activated the god devouring technique and released the god devouring body domain. With a clang, the hook lock hit Lin Mo¡¯s body. However, with the protection of spiritual energy, Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was indestructible. ¡°swish!¡± A mysterious expert appeared in front of him. He held a battle spear in his hand and charged at Lin Mo. This was a Nirvana stage expert who chose this moment to attack because it was the best time. not only him, there were many others who were all strong. the weakest was at the seventh sky of nirvana realm. It was a rare opportunity, and Lin Mo had many treasures on him. Just the four incomplete immemorial divine beast spell techniques were enough to tempt him. Chapter 521 - The Auction Begins the auction begins Lin Mo fought fiercely with these people and was injured again. It was difficult for him to resist. ¡°Just you guys?¡± he approached an expert of the ninth heaven and raised his hand to suppress him. the terrifying sword qi tore his body apart. this was a demonic beast. its blood essence contained a lot of power, and it also had an inner core. lin mo consumed it immediately, and his injuries were healed. he felt much better. junior, this world doesn¡¯t belong to you alone. How can you enjoy this opportunity alone? you should hand it over. an expert said. he used his martial arts to suppress them and spoke in a righteous tone, wanting to give the dao friends a chance. ¡°What a sanctimonious guy. I must kill him today.¡± Lin Mo sneered. The Daluo divine sword burst forth, and sword Qi shot into the sky, killing some of the weaker ones. however, there were still a lot of people surrounding him. for the last few auctions, lin mo had put in a lot of effort and constantly promoted it. In the end, 80% of the eastern Peninsula¡¯s experts were gathered within the purple Moon Palace¡¯s sphere of influence. They were here for the cultivation methods and the immortal Sutra. Some were here for Lin Mo¡¯s martial arts and the divine beast¡¯s incomplete techniques. lin mo¡¯s eyes were cold as he stared at these people. the injuries on his body were getting more and more serious, but he could not escape from the siege. it was difficult to fight a protracted battle in such a state, and soon, he could not hold on any longer. He could have seized the opportunity to kill an expert with the Daluo divine sword. However, due to the injuries on his body, his speed was slowed down, allowing the other party to escape. Lin Mo did not dare to continue fighting as he spread his kun Peng wings. He retreated as he fought. However, he was entangled by these people, and the number of people attacking him was increasing. very quickly, a familiar person arrived, and lin mo was very familiar with his aura. Meng lie was a powerful warrior who had hidden from the world for a long time. He wasn¡¯t talented, and his fighting power wasn¡¯t outstanding. However, he was still an existence at the peak of the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage and could not be underestimated. Furthermore, the other party was in good condition, while he was already heavily injured. The situation was not good. Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s condition, Meng lie laughed coldly. He joined the fight without hesitation. ¡°sigh, the tiger is bullied by the dog ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. With Meng lie on his side, he couldn¡¯t kill his enemies anymore. He had to be careful. Furthermore, what made him feel even more helpless was that many people were rushing over from afar with the same purpose. being attacked by so many people, lin mo¡¯s body was about to fall apart. there were some cracks on his body that were so deep that his bones could be seen. his blood had long since flowed out, and lin mo¡¯s face was pale. ¡°You guys are courting death ¡­¡± lin mo snorted coldly. being surrounded by so many people had pushed him into a desperate situation. All of a sudden, the system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind, causing him to be stunned. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the rank 1 Earth Class elixir, the creation elixir. [ successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] ¡± congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 3 earth class spiritual pill, mysterious spirit fate pill. ¡± The system¡¯s voice rang out, surprising Lin Mo. He was overjoyed. he swallowed the spirit pill without hesitation. in an instant, a vast amount of spirit qi reverberated in his body. his broken bones were reconnected, and his flesh reappeared. his injuries were recovering at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. At the same time, in the distant hailing city, the moon Pavilion auction had already begun. however, lin mo was not around, and the host had become bai luo. the purple moon palace could no longer withstand the pressure, as many people were urging the auction to start. In the end, Bai Luo started an auction. He only auctioned off some of the treasures he had put up for auction. He wanted to end the auction as soon as possible. ¡°if no one is bidding, then forget it. 130 million, sold.¡± on the auction stage, bai luo quickly lowered the auction hammer and announced the results of the auction. as soon as these words came out, the people in the private rooms were instantly dissatisfied. they stood up and said angrily, ¡± ¡± you didn¡¯t even bid three times. what deal? we still have to bid. ¡± However, just as he finished speaking, the smile on Bai Luo¡¯s face disappeared instantly. The temperature in the auction house suddenly dropped. She looked at these people with a murderous look and said word by word. ¡°who told you to dawdle? i¡¯m the host of this auction. if you¡¯re not satisfied, you can complain about me to the palace master and vice palace master.¡± a terrifying pressure spread out. she was at the eighth heaven of nirvana realm and was extremely powerful. some ordinary ninth heaven experts were not her match. Everyone present knew this. just two hours ago, some experts had forced the purple moon palace to hand over their cultivation techniques. it was bai luo who had done it. in just one move, three nirvana stage experts were instantly killed. that kind of terrifying strength still made their hearts palpitate. ¡°the auction continues. next item.¡± ¡­ ¡± congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the rank 3 earth class spirit herb, spring grass. ¡± [ successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the rank 4 earth class spring grass ] on lin mo¡¯s side, he was still in the midst of an intense battle. he was overjoyed to hear the system¡¯s return to profit notification. ¡®has the auction started? that¡¯s good. i can also get a treasure with return-profit if someone else is the host ¡­¡¯ he took out the withered spring grass and swallowed it directly. everyone was stunned. ¡°what¡¯s going on? wasn¡¯t he in a desperate situation? where did he get the spirit pills and spirit herbs?¡± some people were puzzled. they had finally seized the opportunity, but now it was difficult to do so. An earth rank spirit pill and an earth rank spirit herb had helped Lin Mo recover by half. Meng lie¡¯s face changed. He had a bad feeling. Lin Mo had started to fight back. He had killed many people. ¡°The roles of the Hunter and the prey have now changed.¡± lin mo laughed coldly. he raised his hand to block meng lie¡¯s attack. then, he turned his hand around and sent out a sword qi. it cut a ninth-heaven elite in half. ¡°Everyone, this is the last chance. Let him recover completely. We are all going to die Here.¡± Meng lie shouted. Lin Mo was using the kun Peng wings. He was as fast as he could be. There was no way he could escape. ¡°kill!¡± a few elites shouted. they cooperated with meng lie and attacked lin mo. lin mo¡¯s injuries hadn¡¯t healed yet. if they didn¡¯t use their full power, they would all die. Lin Mo laughed when he saw that the other party was going all out and no longer on guard. His eyes gradually turned cold. he held the sword with his right hand and conjured an incantation with his left. the divine flames of the vermilion bird burst forth. the attacks of these people were all blocked, and he also condensed the power of two elements into sword qi to kill the enemy. ¡°pfft.¡± In an instant, Meng lie screamed. He and the other two were the strongest here. Surrounding Lin Mo was the most dangerous. But now, he had been hit by the Daluo divine sword, and one of his arms had been cut off. the divine sword slashed down from his right shoulder, and flames and lightning erupted, instantly turning his right arm into ashes. ¡°you ¡­¡± Meng lie was shocked. He clutched his shoulder and backed away. He was a level nine peak elite, but he couldn¡¯t block Lin Mo¡¯s attack. at the same time, the other two experts were attacked as well. they were hit by the sword qi within the vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames and were on the verge of death. ¡°ah ¡­¡± countless people screamed as they were attacked by the sword qi. no one had expected lin mo to be so powerful after recovering half of his strength. only now did they understand how amazing xia you was. It was hard to imagine how powerful his combat power was to be able to fight Lin Mo in such an earth-shattering manner. ¡°pfft ¡­¡± in one exchange, lin mo injured meng lie again, cutting off his other arm. at the same time, his entire body turned into ashes. lin mo had used the cloud piercing four strikes. this terrifying killing move had killed him completely. Chapter 522 - The Danger of the Purple Moon Palace Chapter 522: The Danger of the Purple Moon Palace The danger of the purple Moon Palace Meng lie was shocked. His vision grew dark, and his soul was about to be burned. he could vaguely hear lin mo¡¯s low voice, ¡± ¡°the moment i took the first spiritual pill, you lost the chance to escape ¡­¡± it was the same for the others. none of the ninth heaven nirvana realm cultivators managed to escape and were all killed. As for the others, they couldn¡¯t even resist the Vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames and were completely burned to death. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the flowing cloud jade pendant, a level 2 earth realm magic weapon. ] [ successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 3 Earth Class magic weapon, the Qian Yuan jade pendant ] another item was auctioned off. it was a magic weapon. lin mo did not hesitate to take it out and refine it. he was still severely injured and was using a large amount of spiritual energy to fight. he needed more natural treasures to heal himself. other than refining the qianyuan jade pendant, he also took out the storage rings and qiankun bags of the people who were killed. There were also many spirit stones, spirit pills, and spirit herbs. he went deep into the mountain range and found a secluded place. he dug out a cave, set up a concealment array, and began to heal his injuries. the spirit qi was sucked out and fused into his body. the god devourer body greedily devoured a large amount of energy. as a result, lin mo had to use up a lot of his energy to heal his injuries. fortunately, the return-of-profit items from the auction were all earth-rank treasures, which were enough to support his cultivation. The devouring speed was very fast, and in less than half an hour, Lin Mo¡¯s injuries were completely healed. moreover, the god devouring body had absorbed so much energy that it had helped him stabilize his eighth sky of nirvana realm. At the same time, he had also tempered his body, making him even stronger. ¡°however, there¡¯s a bit of trouble now ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned and looked up at the sky. There was a huge crack in the sky that was more than a hundred miles wide. Moreover, the speed was getting faster and faster. The heavenly Tribulation continued to unleash its power, and wherever it landed, the earth would turn into tribulation soil. the living beings fled without any signs of life remaining. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me the so-called disaster is the destruction of the world ¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. If that was the case, what would the eastern Peninsula cultivators do? they would not be able to travel through the void. if they couldn¡¯t go to other continents, the only thing that would welcome them was death. how could they not be shocked when the continent they relied on for survival was about to be destroyed ¡­ ¡°is there no other way? heaven mending monument, can you tell me how to deal with the tribulation?¡± he mumbled to himself, but no one paid him any attention. the heaven mending monument had not given him an answer. then, he thought of the holy flame. he wanted to go there to find the answer, but he shook his head. According to the rate at which the crack was spreading, it would spread to the purple Moon Palace in less than a month. That would be a disaster for the purple Moon Palace. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the incomplete cultivation technique, the gods ¡®clear judgement, part one and part two ] [ this auction has incurred a heavy loss. the system will compensate you, triggering a return-interest of 100000 times. ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete version of the gods ¡®decree. ] Lin Mo¡¯s mind was flooded with a huge amount of information, which almost caused his sea of consciousness to explode. the cultivation method of the gods ¡®hearing divine art entered lin mo¡¯s mind. This was a cultivation technique that transcended the mortal world. Just by looking at it, it gave off a feeling of being the master of the world. he was above all and ruled over everything ¡­ lin mo studied it carefully and discovered that the gods ¡®enlightenment will was divided into the first, second, and second chapter. the first volume, foundation establishment, recorded the cultivation method before immortal-foundation. the second volume of ¡®fight for the limit¡¯ recorded the future path of cultivation and the experiences of previous sages. in the second volume, transcendence, one would be able to command the gods, rule a region, and control all the rules of the world after mastering it. ¡°What a terrifying cultivation technique. Just what is the origin of the heaven mending monument? why would it give me such a cultivation technique ¡­¡± lin mo muttered to himself. even though he had only given them the first and second chapter, these two chapters were enough for a person to use for life. The immortal Foundation realm, what sort of realm was that? he didn¡¯t know. He had to go to the other continents to explore. however, he was certain that once the ¡®gods¡¯ decree ¡®was leaked to other continents, it would definitely cause a sensation ¡­ ¡°however, i can¡¯t inscribe the second volume now ¡­¡± lin mo was helpless. he couldn¡¯t cultivate the second volume, and if he didn¡¯t, he couldn¡¯t send it to jiang xiyue through spiritual force resonance. If he wanted her to cultivate the second part, he would need to be strong enough to inscribe it. ¡°No, the auction is over?¡± suddenly, lin mo stood up. the return interest for the ¡®gods¡¯ decree ¡®had been paid, which meant that the auction was over. in other words, the purple moon palace was probably already under siege. ¡°No, I have to rush back.¡± He quickly got up and rushed in the direction of the purple Moon Palace without thinking. the purple moon palace was in its most dangerous state right now. even tian sha might not be able to protect it. Furthermore, Lin Mo was not sure if tiansha would try to snatch it. if even she was greedy, jiang xiyue would be in danger ¡­ lin mo flapped his kun peng wings and flew at high speed. however, the distance was a little far. after all, xu fei had used a teleportation formation to escape before. However, Lin Mo did not have the time to set it up and could only fly quickly. ¡°Boom, boom, boom.¡± There were cracks in the sky above, and many Thunderbolts spread into the eastern continent, starting to fall. the heavenly tribulation descended, and the truly destructive heavenly lightning was incomparably gorgeous and colorful as it crashed toward the mountain range. as lin mo traveled through the mountains, he encountered many escaping demonic beasts. they had all sensed the danger and could only leave their homes. immediately after, meteors fell from the sky. they were huge meteorites. The earth was devastated, and many craters were created by the impact. Heavenly Fire spread and Heavenly Thunder rumbled. Lin Mo could see everything clearly. He felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the tragic situation around him. The danger of the eastern Peninsula was here. the only thing he was glad about was that the purple moon palace had not been affected yet, but it would soon be. the natural disaster would arrive before the crack. the crack would also arrive in a month. if they didn¡¯t move by then, the purple moon palace would no longer exist. Of course, this was not something that Lin Mo should be considering. after leaving the herd, lin mo flew away quickly. after half a day, he finally arrived at ziyue palace. What he saw was the smell of blood. Hailing city no longer existed, and had become a ruin. The city¡¯s protective array was destroyed, and the moon Pavilion was razed to the ground. ¡°how ruthless ¡­¡± fortunately, the purple moon palace was safe and sound. the formation was activated, and there were three troops guarding it. it was impregnable. ¡°it¡¯s lin mo. he¡¯s back. catch him.¡± someone was shocked. seeing lin mo¡¯s figure, he wanted to make a move and stop him. ¡°hmph!¡± ¡± hmph! ¡± lin mo snorted coldly, and the daluo divine sword mercilessly killed the person who spoke. a stone that caused a thousand ripples! lin mo¡¯s attack let the people surrounding the purple moon palace know who had returned. ¡°everyone, attack together and surround him ¡­¡± Someone shouted. He knew that Lin Mo was very strong, but he still attacked. He was like a moth flying into the fire, not afraid of death. ¡°it¡¯s brother. he¡¯s back. can you let him in?¡± on the city wall of the purple moon palace, a fiery-red girl was very anxious as she watched lin mo fighting in the crowd ¡­ Chapter 523 - Natural Disaster in the Eastern Peninsula Chapter 523: Natural Disaster in the Eastern Peninsula natural disaster in the eastern peninsula behind him, bai luo, who was wearing white armor, appeared. he was frowning. She could tell that Lin Mo was in a difficult situation, but the formation of the purple Moon Palace could not be opened. once it was activated, it would be difficult to block the other party outside ¡­ ¡°but, brother, he ¡­¡± The red-dressed girl still wanted to say something, but she turned around and saw the many soldiers of the purple Moon Palace standing on the city wall. She fell silent and no longer insisted. that¡¯s right, once the formation was activated, the enemy would break in and the purple moon palace would collapse instantly. ¡°Little butterfly, don¡¯t be so angry. Let¡¯s go out and fight.¡± bai luo patted the young girl¡¯s forehead and smiled. she would not leave lin mo alone. ¡± yes, elder sister bai luo, let¡¯s go and help elder brother. ¡± the young girl nodded. her body lit up with brilliant flames, and a red spear appeared. This was the Holy Fire spear that Lin Mo had given her when she had gone into seclusion. After such a long period of nurturing, it had long been compatible with her. Upon seeing this, Bai Luo took out two talismans and handed one to Lin die. The two of them activated it at the same time. Their bodies were covered in white light, and spatial fluctuations were constantly emitted. ¡°elder luo, please help protect xiyue.¡± After Bai Luo finished speaking, her and Lin die¡¯s figures disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already outside the purple Moon Palace. some people had been paying attention to the internal news of the purple moon palace. when they saw bai luo and lin die appear, they immediately attacked. ¡°xiao die, go and help lin mo.¡± ¡± hmph! ¡± bai luo snorted coldly. he swept the long spear in his hand and blocked the group of people. on the other side, lin mo was having a difficult time fighting because the first to appear and attack him were all experts. ¡°Big brother!¡± crimson flames filled the sky, and the experts surrounding lin mo retreated. A petite young girl flew over and pounced into Lin Mo¡¯s arms like a swallow. ¡°Little butterfly?¡± Lin Mo, who was in the middle of an intense battle, was stunned. He subconsciously reached out and hugged her petite body tightly. Xiao die had grown a lot taller. She was no longer a little girl, but a young girl now. She was very cute and beautiful. She buried her head in Lin Mo¡¯s arms and said in a soft voice. ¡°Big brother, I finally get to see you ¡­¡± these days, she had been trapped in the cocoon and had been in seclusion. she had not been able to come out and had missed lin mo very much. ¡°little girl, now is not the time for a reunion. a war is about to start ¡­¡± Lin Mo patted the back of the young girl in his arms and laughed. This little girl had grown up a lot, but she was still so clingy ¡­ ¡°Yes, little butterfly is very strong now. She can help big brother.¡± Lin die raised her head and said proudly. at this moment, lin mo finally felt lin die¡¯s aura. she was at the 8th sky of nirvana realm, which shocked him. This really shocked him. Lin die had been in closed-door cultivation for too long, but the benefits she had obtained were huge. ¡°Boom ¡­¡± there were people attacking, and the scene fell into chaos. lin mo and the other two were surrounded. Fortunately, Bai Luo and Lin die helped to share the pressure. Lin Mo was no longer afraid. As the situation stabilized, the experts in the purple Moon Palace heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Mo and the other two were one-in-a-million geniuses. Now that he had completely grown up, he could even take charge of a region on his own. However, a sudden change occurred! Perhaps it was because a large number of experts had gathered in the purple Moon Palace. a huge crack appeared on the horizon, and the heavenly tribulation was faintly visible. the stars fell like raindrops, and meteorites crashed down from the starry sky with terrifying power. At this moment, the battle stopped. Everyone was shocked. This was a natural disaster, not something that human power could resist. ¡°Quickly run ¡­¡± It was unknown who shouted, but the place was in chaos. Some people gave up fighting and chose to escape. people were terrified because they had seen the heavenly tribulation before and now they were seeing it again. moreover, the heavenly tribulation this time was even more terrifying, and it could annihilate them all. Lin Mo¡¯s heart sank. How did the crack expand so quickly? it had already reached the Ziyue Palace. ¡°ah ¡­¡± He saw a divine bird flying high into the sky, trying to escape this place. However, the next moment, the heavenly Tribulation descended, and it was struck by lightning. In the next moment, something terrifying happened. The divine bird¡¯s cultivation level was dropping. it was originally at the ninth heaven of the nirvana stage and wanted to escape with its own speed. As a result, he was locked on by the heavenly Tribulation, and the lightning fixed him in the air, unable to move. ¡°Its cultivation level is dropping ¡­¡± Lin die¡¯s senses were sharp and she immediately discovered the abnormality. The heavenly Tribulation did not harm the divine bird¡¯s life. it only managed to break free after devouring its cultivation base and its cultivation base had fallen to the second sky of the nirvana realm. The divine bird let out a cry of grief and indignation and fled. It had successfully left, but its cultivation level had dropped. If it met its former enemy, it would probably not be able to survive. ¡°bai luo, what is the meaning of this?¡± lin mo looked to his side. everyone had stopped fighting and were now looking at the sky. Bai Luo came to his side and also frowned. ¡± i don¡¯t know, but my family has sent us a message, asking us to go to the border of the eastern land. there are strong people who want to take us away, including you. ¡± Originally, her family was going to come to the eastern continent in person, but now that something had happened, they did not dare to come. cultivators are derived from the heavens. As long as they continue to cultivate, they are defying the heavens. ¡°Now that the world has changed, I¡¯m afraid that we have to return what we once obtained ¡­¡± bai luo made a guess. the heavenly lightning that had trapped the divine bird earlier was the best example. it wasn¡¯t injured, but its cultivation was taken back, but not all of it. When it was frozen, the divine bird was constantly struggling. As its cultivation level weakened, the heavenly lightning that had frozen it also weakened. in the end, it was able to escape, but the realm that was lowered had to be cultivated again. ¡°how could that be? don¡¯t ¡­¡± A few more screams were heard. Someone was attacked again. As usual, his cultivation was taken back, but his life was not in danger. Divine chains of order descended from the sky, binding some people and devouring their cultivation. ¡°they¡¯re all ninth firmament nirvana stage practitioners ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The people who were targeted by the God sequence chains were all experts of this level. ¡°Swish!¡± on the other side, a middle-aged woman rose into the air and flew into the distance. her body was covered in blood. her aura was extremely unstable at the moment. she was at the peak of the eighth sky of nirvana realm. ¡°She¡¯s cut down her cultivation level.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This person had seen through him and slashed his own realm, so he was not caught by the divine chains. After that, she escaped from this place. She actually managed to escape and wasn¡¯t caught. ¡°it¡¯s only targeted at the ninth heaven of the nirvana stage ¡­¡± lin mo¡¯s expression changed. in that case, the purple moon palace might be safe, and only beautiful silk and luo haoyu needed to be careful. These two were at the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage and were now hiding in the formation. he was a little worried that the heavenly tribulation would break through the formation and capture the two of them, causing their cultivation to drop. ¡°what do you plan to do?¡± bai luo asked. the eastern peninsula was becoming more and more unsafe. this was only the beginning. since it was a catastrophe in the eastern land, it would not only target the ninth heaven of nirvana stage. if you want to practice the gods ¡®hearing mantra, you have to experience the catastrophe of the eastern continent. This is the information I got. Chapter 524 - The Bai Familys Decision Chapter 524: The Bai Family¡¯s Decision The Bai family¡¯s decision Lin Mo shook his head. Jiang xiyue couldn¡¯t leave yet. At the very least, she had to experience this calamity herself. Jiang xiyue was already cultivating, so she couldn¡¯t leave. he didn¡¯t plan to leave either. the calamity would befall the purple moon palace sooner or later, and he couldn¡¯t leave these people behind. The crowd dispersed. Many experts were celebrating after surviving the disaster, but they didn¡¯t dare to stay and chose to leave. Ten minutes later, the outside of the purple Moon Palace was empty, except for the bodies on the ground and the blood. Lin Mo and the other two fell silent as they felt a chill in their hearts. the catastrophe had begun in the eastern continent, and it might destroy the world. escaping was the best choice. when they returned to the purple moon palace, the heavenly tribulation ignored them and continued to spread, shrouding the earth. Lin Mo, who had just returned, saw a heart-wrenching scene. luo haoyu and damask were sitting cross-legged on the ground with blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. their cultivation levels had fallen to the eighth heaven of the nirvana realm. ¡°Elder Luo, aunty.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart ached. He finally understood why the heavenly Tribulation had ignored the purple Moon Palace. In order not to implicate the purple Moon Palace, the two seniors chose to cut themselves and cripple their cultivation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You should be glad ¡­¡± luo haoyu coughed and was helped up by lin mo, while bai luo supported beautiful silk. the few of them walked into the hall together. when they arrived, luo haoyu and beautiful silk revealed a smile of having survived a disaster. just a moment ago, we felt like we were about to die. Divine chains also appeared in the purple Moon Palace¡¯s great array. He shook his head bitterly. The formation couldn¡¯t stop it at all. This was the might of the heavens, not something a human could do. however, they were also very decisive. the moment the divine chains appeared, they cut off their own cultivation realm and made the divine chains disappear. Otherwise, their cultivation levels would have dropped even more. ¡± this heavenly tribulation seems to be standing in the heavens and looking down on all living beings. it¡¯s cold and merciless ¡­ ¡± Lin Mo said furiously. When the disaster descended, no one in the eastern Peninsula was spared. They were all drawn into it. Vaguely, the cultivators in the world could hear someone laughing in the sky. The laughter was so disdainful, high and mighty, as if it ruled over everything. The true disaster had arrived. The heavenly Tribulation had appeared, and if they couldn¡¯t resist it, they would be completely destroyed. the crack was expanding faster and faster. lin mo sat in a small courtyard and looked up at the sky. beside her, jiang xiyue wore a purple dress and a poignant smile appeared on her face. Under the might of the heavens, all living beings seemed so fragile. it¡¯ll be our turn soon. According to the news, most of the strong men in the nine Heavens have died ¡­ Jiang xiyue sighed. She wasn¡¯t willing to cut off her own realm. It was too ironic that he had to cut off his realm to save his life after just cultivating the gods ¡®hearing decree ¡­ ¡°where are tiansha and the others?¡± Lin Mo suddenly asked out of curiosity. It had been a month since the auction of the gods ¡®enlightenment duel. News of level nine experts fighting against the heavenly Tribulation and eventually dying kept coming from the eastern land. However, there was no news of geniuses of the same generation like Tian Sha and the ghost king. ¡± i don¡¯t know. ever since the purple moon palace was besieged, tiansha has disappeared and i can¡¯t contact her. ¡± jiang xiyue held lin mo¡¯s hand and leaned her head on his shoulder. ¡°i want elder luo and my aunt to leave the eastern continent and go to the bai family first.¡± after a long time, jiang xiyue finally spoke. these two were the elders she respected the most, and she wouldn¡¯t allow anything to happen to them. at present, the entire eastern continent was facing a natural disaster, and the safest option was to leave. after hesitating for a while, jiang xiyue wanted to say something several times, but she fell silent when she saw lin mo¡¯s determined eyes. she wanted lin mo to leave with the people from the purple moon palace while she stayed. she already knew that the heaven mending monument had bestowed the ¡°gods¡± hearing decree,¡±so she could not leave. However, Lin Mo and the rest were different. They did not have to go through this disaster. ¡°there¡¯s no need to say anything more. let xiao die go ¡­¡± lin mo could tell what jiang xiyue was thinking. he took her into his arms and sighed. How could he bear to let Jiang xiyue face danger alone? ¡°Lin Mo ¡­¡± After a long time, Jiang xiyue sensed something and spoke. ¡°do you feel that the spiritual qi in this world has increased?¡± She had cultivated the gods ¡®hearing decree and had improved greatly in all aspects. the place where the purple moon palace was located had rich spirit qi, but now, she could clearly feel that the concentration of spirit qi was increasing. ¡± that¡¯s true. it¡¯s not just here. perhaps, the spirit qi density in the entire eastern continent has increased ¡­ ¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. Such a change was like a guiding light in the midst of a calamity. that¡¯s because the power recovered by the heavenly Tribulation is fed back to the heaven and earth. bai luo¡¯s voice could be heard. there was a hint of fatigue on her face. in the past month, she had returned to the border of the eastern peninsula several times. she brought news that a supreme expert from her clan had sent two talismans. after the elders ¡®decision, they¡¯ve decided to send xiyue and Xiaodie to the Bai family. bai luo placed the talisman on the jade table. They were two space talismans of unknown grade, which could teleport people across millions of miles of time and space. ¡°what about lin mo? also, i can¡¯t leave.¡± jiang xiyue said quickly. the ¡± gods ¡®decree ¡± restricted her from leaving the eastern continent. an omnipotent expert has made his move and reversed the karma, causing Lin Mo to suffer in your place ¡­ Bai Luo¡¯s expression gradually turned ugly. Even her father couldn¡¯t oppose the decision of the family. bai luo¡¯s power was huge, and he could not decide everything on his own. everything needed to be discussed. The result of the discussion was hard for her to accept. The Bai family had decided to give up on Lin Mo and take Lin die and Jiang xiyue away. The omnipotent expert had made a move and let Lin Mo suffer in place of Jiang xiyue. this way, she could practice the ¡°gods hearing decree.¡± ¡°This is not fair.¡± Jiang xiyue shook her head. No matter what, she would not agree to it. ¡°that¡¯s a good idea.¡± On the contrary, Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with joy. He, who had been at a loss all this time, suddenly saw hope. The people he was most worried about were Lin die, Jiang xiyue, and the purple Moon Palace. If these people could leave the eastern continent successfully, he would have no more worries. ¡°what are you saying?¡± jiang xiyue grabbed lin mo¡¯s arm tightly, and her eyes were slightly red. Anyone could tell that the eastern Peninsula was very dangerous. There might be people who could survive, but that would definitely depend on luck. nirvana stage practitioners could not rely on their own strength to resist the heavenly might. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already thought of this since a long time ago ¡­¡± Bai Luo rolled his eyes. She was not surprised by Lin Mo¡¯s reaction. with his familiarity with lin mo, he knew that this fellow would shield his comrades from all danger. even the catastrophe in the eastern peninsula was no exception. ¡± why? don¡¯t you believe me? i have many secrets. aren¡¯t you curious? ¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. If a Nirvana stage cultivator couldn¡¯t fight against him, then an immortal-Foundation expert could. He had plenty of resources. ¡°Unless you tell me what secret it is.¡± jiang xiyue was still holding on to lin mo, unwilling to let go. She was afraid. She no longer had the aura of an Empress. She was very worried that if she were to be separated from Lin Mo this time, it would be forever. Chapter 525 - Getting Married Chapter 525: Getting Married getting married ¡°You¡¯ll agree to leave if I tell you?¡± lin mo said. ¡°No,¡± Jiang xiyue refused again. She didn¡¯t want to leave and wanted to face it together with Lin Mo. ¡°Don¡¯t be silly ¡­¡± Lin Mo ruffled Jiang xiyue¡¯s smooth hair and was a little reluctant to part with her. ¡°We¡¯ve already joined the Bai family, haven¡¯t we? if you don¡¯t go back this time, what about next time? maybe someone will risk their life to come in and take you away.¡± He shook his head. He didn¡¯t know how strong these forces were, but their style of doing things was roughly the same. Things that had been decided could not be changed. Unless Jiang xiyue and Lin die threatened him with their lives. However, this would make things difficult for Bai Luo ¡­ there must be someone who is facing difficulties. I can¡¯t bear to leave you behind ¡­ lin mo said gently. he agreed with the bai family¡¯s decision and wished that jiang xiyue could take lin die and leave immediately. ¡°Believe me, I will break through to immortal-Foundation and then come find you.¡± on the other side, seeing the two of them cuddling together again, bai luo rolled his eyes and interrupted them. ¡± it¡¯s not like we¡¯ll be separated forever. my father gave me an array that should be able to hide from the heavens ¡­ ¡± this formation was very powerful and could really hide from the heavenly secrets as long as the people inside the formation didn¡¯t mess around. Therefore, the safety of Lin Mo and the purple Moon Palace could be guaranteed. ¡°Then I¡¯ve stirred up emotions for nothing. Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with black lines. He was bidding farewell to Bai Luo affectionately, but Bai Luo came at the right time to ruin his show ¡­ ¡°Who told you to be so emotional in front of me?¡± Bai Luo snorted coldly and threw a palm-sized bronze plate to Lin Mo. Lin Mo raised his hand to take it, but the bronze plate was extremely heavy. His palm suddenly sank down, breaking the Jade table. ¡°What a terrifying strength ¡­¡± lin mo was shocked. what kind of material was this formation made of? it was too terrifying. if it were to be auctioned off ¡­ At this thought, Lin Mo shook his head. No one in the eastern continent could afford this. moreover, jiang xiyue would rather die than leave if she were to be sold. ¡°With this formation, our safety will be guaranteed. There¡¯s no need to worry.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and tried to maintain a relaxed posture. after that, he asked bai luo how the omnipotent expert was going to reverse the karma and let lin mo take the calamity in jiang xiyue¡¯s place. ¡°well, this ¡­¡± A smirk appeared on Bai Luo¡¯s face. He looked at Lin Mo and Jiang xiyue and slowly said, ¡± ¡­ soon, the purple moon palace was decorated with lanterns and red lanterns. A red carpet was laid on the ground. Everyone¡¯s face was filled with joy as they sent out invitations one after another. It was basically impossible to reverse the cause and effect, at least not for the current Bai family. they had thought of a flexible way to let lin mo and jiang xiyue get married. it was an eight-carrier palanquin, an official marriage. the two¡¯s fate would be intertwined and never separate. At this time, if an expert were to make a move, they would be able to link the karma between the two and share it. The purple Moon Palace welcomed another lively scene. The wedding day was set to be three days later, regardless of whether the guests could make it. everything was simple, and there were very few guests. the divine secrets holy land had only sent an elder to congratulate them. the great yan dynasty and the great ancient dynasty also sent a messenger, who came with a congratulatory gift, which included a few spirit rank level nine spirit herbs. as for the lujin divine dynasty and the yan huang divine dynasty, there was no news at all. the invitations had been sent but there was no response. however, all of this was no longer important. everything was simple. jiang xiyue sat in the wedding sedan and was carried from her boudoir to the main hall to perform the wedding ceremony with lin mo. qi luo and luo haoyu acted as jiang xiyue¡¯s family. they held jiang xiyue¡¯s hand and handed her to lin mo. ¡± i¡¯ve been waiting for this day for a long time. lin mo, from today onwards, i¡¯ll leave xiyue in your hands. ¡± Beautiful silk revealed a kind smile. It wasn¡¯t easy for these two juniors to get to where they were today. They had experienced too many hardships. Gongs and drums sounded, and the purple Moon Palace was bustling. A cultivator¡¯s wedding was naturally extraordinary. There were elders who created the phenomenon. It was very beautiful, with fiery red flowers blooming and full of joy ¡­ When Lin Mo put the ring on Jiang xiyue¡¯s finger, he subconsciously felt that there was something between him and Jiang xiyue. On the other side, Jiang xiyue could also clearly sense what Lin Mo was thinking. They knew that it was the Bai family¡¯s Supreme expert who had made a move, forcefully interfering with the fate of these two people from hundreds of millions of miles away. however, the two of them didn¡¯t care about this anymore. after congratulating jiang xiyue, lin mo brought jiang xiyue back to her room. The moment the veil was lifted, Lin Mo saw an extremely beautiful face. lin mo could not help but be a little dazed and entranced. ¡°What are you looking at ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue rebuked. Although there was no one around, she still felt a little shy under Lin Mo¡¯s gaze. She blushed and lowered her head. ¡°You ¡­ Today? It¡¯s so beautiful ¡­¡± Lin Mo said in an intoxicated manner. He felt like he was in a dream today. He had married Jiang xiyue, and the two of them were married ¡­ ¡°Are you saying that I wasn¡¯t pretty before?¡± Jiang xiyue suddenly said as she glared at Lin Mo. ¡± beauty. in my eyes, you are the most perfect. you are the true fairy ¡­ ¡± Lin Mo chuckled and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were burning as he looked at her bright red lips and kissed them gently. the curtain by the bed was lifted, and the vague figures of two people could be seen. ¡­ great aunt, you even want to peek at this? what are you thinking? ¡± In the courtyard outside Lin Mo¡¯s house, a fiery-red young lady stuck her head out and climbed over the wall with a young man. ¡± brother yanrong, xiao die wants to know what a wedding is about, but you guys won¡¯t tell me. i can only come over and take a peek. ¡± the fiery red young lady said righteously as she pulled yan rong closer. ¡°cough. cough ¡­¡± Suddenly, in the small courtyard, a white figure appeared, and a slight cough startled the two. ¡°Bai Luo, why are you here ¡­¡± Yan Rong was shocked. Wasn¡¯t bai Luo drinking in the main hall? why was he here? eh? elder sister Bai Luo, are you also here to peek? ¡± lin die did not mind. she thought that bai luo did not know what marriage was and came to peek. ¡°little girl, you¡¯re looking for a beating.¡± Bai Luo¡¯s face turned red. He let out a soft sound and came over to knock on Lin die¡¯s smooth forehead. you¡¯re only three years old, right? don¡¯t be so curious. She lectured Lin die, and after that, she looked at Yan Rong and said, ¡± ¡°are you also only three years old? you brought little butterfly here to cause trouble.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t stop him ¡­¡± Yan Rong laughed bitterly. Lin die¡¯s current strength was enough to crush him. He was dragged here by this little girl. ¡°i¡¯m just going to take a look ¡­¡± Lin die still wanted to struggle, but Bai Luo lifted her up and slapped her butt. ¡°don¡¯t cause any trouble. leave this place.¡± As she spoke, she took Lin die away. Yan Rong shrugged his shoulders and slowly followed. in the sky, a strange fluctuation came from the crack. the thunderclouds above the purple moon palace were very thick. however, an obscure formation was set up, and the rare sunlight appeared here, causing the lightning tribulation to dissipate ¡­ Chapter 526 - Parting Chapter 526: Parting Parting The celebration in the purple Moon Palace lasted for seven days. Many people came to congratulate them, and for a moment, everyone forgot about the previous unhappiness. seven days later, lin mo received a guest and a late congratulatory gift. ¡°A spot to study a remnant scroll of the immortal Sutra.¡± the person who had just arrived was xu fei. back then, after bai luo had brought him away, he had disappeared after being sent to a safe place. At that time, Bai Luo was worried about the comfort of the purple Moon Palace, so he had to leave. he had never expected that xu fei would appear once again. hehe, brother Lin, sister-in-law, congratulations. I came uninvited. Please forgive me. Xu Fei bowed and said many congratulatory words. young master Xu, you¡¯re welcome. I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯re an array master and a Grandmaster in the eastern continent. Now that I¡¯ve met you, you¡¯re indeed worthy of your reputation. Jiang xiyue looked at Xu Fei. This person had a special aura that was hidden. even lin mo could not tell her true cultivation level, but she could still sense it. with the powerful perception brought by the cultivation method, he knew that the other party was an expert at the eighth sky of nirvana stage. hehe, then I won¡¯t be polite. Is it okay to live in the purple Moon Palace for a long time? ¡± he chuckled as he looked around with a sleazy gaze. Those were array flags that were in operation. There were many array patterns on them, and they were very strange. other than that, there was also the formation that the bai luo clan had sent over, a formation that allowed lin mo to successfully transcend the tribulation. looking at xu fei¡¯s sharp gaze, lin mo knew that this fellow had probably seen through the formation. even though he didn¡¯t think that this fellow could see through it, he was still able to see through some extraordinary things. as expected of a genius of formations. the excitement continued, and many people marveled at the purple moon palace for seeing the clear sky after the clouds had parted. Many people came to check, but in the end, they found nothing. Furthermore, sunlight began to appear in other places. People¡¯s suspicions were gone, and they thought that the calamity was beginning to dissipate. Many cultivators were laughing and chatting, thinking that this calamity had nothing to do with them and was only targeted at the Nirvana stage experts. however, there were still many meticulous people who could see the clues. they believed that this was only a temporary peace, and that the next moment, it would erupt against the eighth heaven of nirvana stage. some people were furious. they flew into the sky, trying to see what was behind the crack. In the end, he was killed by heavenly lightning. The might of heaven could not be blasphemed. soon, a month had passed since lin mo and jiang xiyue¡¯s wedding. it was time to part ways. jiang xiyue was very reluctant, but she still felt very helpless. This was because a talisman was flickering on her body. A silver-white light enveloped her and was about to take her away. ¡°big brother, i can¡¯t bear to part with you ¡­¡± On the other side, Bai Luo came with Lin die. The two of them were in the same situation. They were enveloped by the white light and were about to be teleported away. ¡°lin mo ¡­¡± jiang xiyue¡¯s eyes were filled with tears, but the power of the talisman was not something she could fight against. she could only hold onto lin mo reluctantly. I¡¯ll break through to the immortal-Foundation realm. At that time, I¡¯ll come and find you ¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were firm. Although he was reluctant, he didn¡¯t cry. Jiang xiyue and the other two floated up. He felt that his hand was empty, and he could no longer hold onto Jiang xiyue. ¡°Lin Mo ¡­¡± Jiang xiyue cried out in sorrow and tried to struggle. Lin Mo¡¯s heart ached at the sight. with a flash of light, the three of them disappeared. they were teleported away, and lin mo felt disappointed. the distance between the eastern and southern lands was hundreds of millions of miles. that was the heavenly hibernation realm. how could he cross it ¡­ I will live on, ascend the immortal platform, and find you ¡­ Lin Mo looked up at the sky and let out a long roar. He was depressed in his heart, and at this moment, he vented all his pent-up feelings. the purple moon palace trembled, and the ground shook. countless people raised their heads, not understanding what was happening. only a small number of people knew the reason and could only sigh silently. the space behind lin mo fluctuated as luo haoyu and damask walked over. the two of them had broken through to the ninth firmament nirvana realm. Now that they had the protection of the formation, they didn¡¯t need to worry anymore. ¡°lin mo, what are you going to do next?¡± Damask walked over and caressed Lin Mo¡¯s face with heartache. Lin Mo had started to cry without him knowing. the danger in the eastern land was still there, and there would be unimaginable disasters. only the ziyue palace was safe. Lin Mo was conflicted. He did not know if he should go out or hide. he was at the eighth sky of the nirvana realm. he might not be able to escape the next wave. he would be locked on and his cultivation might be destroyed. . what¡¯s the point of hiding when it¡¯s like finding gold in. big wave ¡­¡± I want to go out. I want to witness the catastrophe that is going to befall the eastern continent. I want to face it in xiyue¡¯s place. At the same time, I want to find my own destiny ¡­ lin mo raised his head and said. this was his choice and he would not change it. but is it really okay? you have to think about it carefully. Once you leave, you might die there. ¡°What will happen to xiyue and Xiaodie then?¡± Said damask worriedly. the higher her realm was, the more she understood the horror of the heavenly tribulation. a single mistake would lead to eternal damnation. lin mo nodded solemnly. the purple moon palace was protected by a formation, so they would definitely be able to survive the catastrophe of the eastern peninsula. As long as he was more careful, he might be safe. Without any worries, he could do many things. ¡°aunty, elder luo, i¡¯ll leave the purple moon palace in your hands after i leave. from this year onwards, you can recruit disciples.¡± After Lin Mo finished speaking, he walked out of the purple Moon Palace formation and left. ¡°Your choice surprised me.¡± Lin Mo had just appeared and was flying in the boundless mountain range when a voice rang in his ears. It was the heaven mending monument. He was extremely familiar with this voice. ¡°fine, let¡¯s see how far you can go.¡± The heaven mending monument spoke again, but before Lin Mo could ask anything, it fell silent. no matter how lin mo called out, the heaven mending monument did not respond. the surroundings were completely silent. In the mountain range, the wind blew, and the roars of demonic beasts could be heard occasionally. although the weather was clear, lin mo felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. sometimes, there would even be thunderbolts on a clear day. he cultivated in the mountain forest as usual and comprehended the dao laws. During this period of time, he had almost forgotten himself and everything else. The only thing left in his eyes was the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth. Time passed, and two months quietly passed. Finally, on this day, Lin Mo was awoken by a sudden clap of thunder. dark clouds covered the earth. this time, there were not only heavenly lightning, but also meteors, ice, and fire. all kinds of strange phenomena appeared in the sky and fell. Many disasters broke out in the eastern land. What shocked Lin Mo was that this time, the targets were not only at the 8th sky of Nirvana realm. most of the nirvana stage warriors were swept away. whoever dared to resist would suffer the most terrifying attack. They would either dissipate their cultivation to survive, or they would die. At the same time, a perfect great Dao appeared with the catastrophe. An infinite amount of light descended from the sky, containing the laws of Dao. The cultivators captured them and used them for cultivation. They instantly understood. with the imminent disaster, some cultivators still had the mood to cultivate. they were so obsessed that they didn¡¯t even know that their cultivation realms had been cut off. When they came back to their senses, they realized that they had fallen from the Nirvana realm and were hovering around the Dragon Realm. Chapter 527 - The Worlds Consciousness Chapter 527: The World¡¯s Consciousness The world¡¯s consciousness ¡°Bang!¡± The war drums sounded, and the clouds in the sky transformed into heavenly soldiers and generals, launching a charge. However, when they fell, they became disasters. There were seas of fire, gales, and natural disasters. lin mo¡¯s heart palpitated. this phenomenon was too terrifying. the eastern continent was already riddled with holes, and many places had encountered disasters. He hid in the dark to avoid the heavenly Tribulation¡¯s gaze. He held his breath and focused his mind. This martial art that he had not used for a long time finally came in handy. ¡± strange, i clearly remember that this valley was covered in frost. how can these people walk out freely? ¡± It was a group of young cultivators who had just entered the Dragon Realm. They looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were chatting and laughing as they walked into the mountains. lin mo followed him. as soon as he entered, he felt a bone-piercing cold. this power was so strong that it could even freeze one¡¯s soul. however, the few young cultivators could withstand the cold that even he had a hard time resisting. he followed them in secret and listened to their conversation. he found that it was just some idle gossip. Obviously, they didn¡¯t know about the so-called Heavenly Tribulation. The catastrophe of the eastern continent wasn¡¯t spread among them. even a nirvana stage practitioner would be scared to death, but these people could come out to train and pick herbs so casually. this piqued lin mo¡¯s curiosity, and he randomly found a small town. however, there were mercenary groups going in and out of the town, and the strongest of them was only a dragon realm cultivator. I¡¯ve been really lucky recently. There are a lot of spirit herbs growing in the mountain. I can sell them for a lot of money. some of the mercenary groups laughed. they were very happy with their bountiful harvest. at this moment, the sky above them cracked and black clouds covered the city. the atmosphere was filled with despair. However, they did not seem to feel anything. He only knew that the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth had become much richer recently, and the spiritual herbs growing in various places had increased. even a small mercenary group like theirs had picked a few spirit rank spirit herbs and sold them for a good price. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo walked into the town and observed the world from the perspective of a mortal. He soon discovered a different world. All living things had been revived, the children were talented, the cultivation environment had become better, and the resources were abundant. The eastern Peninsula had undergone a tremendous change. The difference between the weak and the strong was like heaven and hell ¡­ ¡± perhaps, tribulation is another way of saying it ¡­ ¡± A terrifying guess appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. He wanted to confirm it, but he held back. Once his guess failed, he would probably be doomed eternally ¡­ in the town, lin mo bought a small courtyard and lived in it. he had forgotten his identity as a cultivator and treated him as an ordinary person. he didn¡¯t have any cultivation and was a wealthy merchant. he was once again wandering around. soon, he had a new understanding. the great dao had manifested. ordinary people could not see it, including him. Heaven and earth were reversed as Lin Mo entered a Deep State of enlightenment. although his true strength was at the nirvana stage, he had a different feeling at this moment. This was a great opportunity. Lin Mo forgot about time and everything else. This was the manifestation of the great Dao. It appeared along with the heavenly Tribulation, and it was the easiest time to comprehend it. Now, Lin Mo had entered a special state. He was concentrating on comprehending and tempering his body, and his body was actually emitting a trace of Dao runes. It wasn¡¯t an increase in realm, but a sublimation of Dao laws. The great Dao of the heavenly Tribulation manifested in Lin Mo¡¯s body to verify what he had learned. The God devouring body gradually became restless. ¡°rather than calling it a tribulation, it¡¯s better to call it an opportunity that corresponds to all things in the world.¡± ¡°Rise after destruction, rise after death!¡± lin mo muttered in a low voice. he had a new realization. the heavenly tribulation might kill many people. but that was because his foundation was not stable. To the eastern continent, these people were like trash. They had to be eliminated and everything given to them had to be taken back. leaving the essence and getting rid of the dregs. This is the will of the world. He had once heard Bai Luo say that a piece of heaven and earth could nurture strong people, but it also needed the return of the strongest people. The two complemented each other and formed a balance. The eastern continent was vast, but no one could give it anything back. For countless years, it had been the one giving. Perhaps, the disaster was about to befall them. the new geniuses would break the world¡¯s structure. the world wanted to protect these people, so it crippled the strong ¡­ ¡°Is that really the case?¡± lin mo had some doubts in his mind. if it was true, there were too many implications behind this. a group of heroes fighting for the deer. In the next hundred years, I¡¯m afraid that we will be able to compete for the strongest ¡­ It could even be said that there would be immortal-foundation experts born ¡­ At the thought of this, Lin Mo could not help but feel a little sorrowful. Had the eastern continent given up on those who had already cultivated ¡­ ¡°heaven mending monument, can you hear me? is my guess right or wrong?¡± lin mo opened his eyes. his dao laws were retracted. he looked up at the sky. the crack was still there. nothing had changed. the heaven mending monument¡¯s reply did not appear, leaving lin mo disappointed. however, he was right about one thing, and that was that in the midst of a calamity, there would also be opportunities. in this world, there was no lack of smart people, and some people had guessed something. they walked through the mountains and among the mortals. He wanted to capture the hidden traces of the great Dao and use them to cultivate and temper himself. These were the manifestations of the great Dao, the best opportunities. As long as one could obtain a portion, they would be able to advance a step further. lin mo smiled. he knew the path he had to take in the future. He walked among the weak cultivators, occasionally forming teams to hunt demonic beasts and enter the deep mountains to pick spiritual herbs. At the same time, he also caught the manifestation of several great Dao laws. These were originally meant to enter the bodies of his companions and turn them into geniuses. brother mo, let¡¯s go quickly. We can exchange these spirit herbs for spirit stones, and we¡¯ll be able to advance further. A young man beckoned Lin Mo over. They had entered the deep mountains with Lin Mo to pick herbs. ¡± hehe, i¡¯m already at the fifth level of the foundation stage. i¡¯ll be able to break through to the sixth level when i go back and cultivate in seclusion. by then, i¡¯ll have the qualifications to join the wind cloud sect. ¡± the other youth laughed complacently. the mountain they were on was wind cloud sect¡¯s territory. normally, they were allowed to go in and pick herbs, and they could be exchanged for the corresponding spirit stones after they were brought back. when his cultivation reached the standard, he could join the wind cloud sect. ¡°you want to join the wind cloud sect?¡± lin mo chuckled. once upon a time, he was also a weakling who was working hard to become stronger ¡­ brother mo, are you not willing? ¡± The young men and women were puzzled. the wind cloud sect was the most powerful sect here. with a nirvana stage practitioner in charge, who would not want to join? ¡°If there is a better sect, would you be willing?¡± lin mo laughed. wasn¡¯t the purple moon palace just about to select disciples? these people were good seedlings. furthermore, the dao laws that he had captured that originally belonged to these people could be put to use. Perhaps there were people in other places who were like him, capturing Dao laws and snatching other people¡¯s opportunities. He didn¡¯t want to interfere with the world¡¯s consciousness and planned to return it to them. if he could get them to join the purple moon palace, wouldn¡¯t that also be a disguised gain ¡­ ¡°where are the stronger sects?¡± their eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity. they only knew about the wind cloud sect and nothing else. Chapter 528 - Creating a Prosperous Era Chapter 528: Creating a Prosperous Era Creating a prosperous era in the end, lin mo gave each of them a ring, which contained cultivation techniques, spiritual stones, and elixirs. At the same time, he had also integrated the Dao laws into their bodies to improve their talents. He told them to go home and ask their elders to take them to the purple Moon Palace 300000 miles away to find a master. as for whether or not they could reach it, it would depend on the luck of these people. he had done everything he could. the path of cultivation was not a smooth one, and there would be many twists and turns. ¡°brother lin, you¡¯re in such a good mood. you¡¯re still in the mood to recruit disciples even though you¡¯re facing the tribulation.¡± A chuckle was heard. After the young men and women left, Holy maiden Xia you slowly walked over from behind Lin Mo. The two of them looked at each other. They didn¡¯t speak, but they knew a lot of information. ¡°Brother Lin, do you think that we¡¯re the abandoned pawns of the world?¡± suddenly, holy maiden xia you asked this question. ¡°Why do you say so?¡± lin mo¡¯s interest was piqued, and he wanted to hear xia you¡¯s opinion. ¡°We were also born in the eastern Peninsula. Why are they targeting us? could it be because we were born earlier?¡± ¡± taking back the cultivation we¡¯ve cultivated so hard to benefit others, do we deserve it? ¡± she was a little nonchalant and felt that it was very unfair. This was what she understood. Since the eastern continent needed strong cultivators, why couldn¡¯t it be them? why should it be a group of new juniors? ¡°i don¡¯t agree.¡± Lin Mo shook his head indifferently. He took out a Jade table and a teapot from his storage space and invited Xia you to take a seat. ¡°Brother Lin, what do you think?¡± Asked Xia you as she sat down and sipped her tea. ¡°our generation is both lucky and unfortunate ¡­¡± Lin Mo had a different opinion. He respected the world¡¯s choice. He removed the dregs and left the essence behind, all for the sake of giving birth to a new world. a hundred years later, he could imagine that it would be a race of heroes fighting for supremacy. perhaps ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a million years later. The eastern continent would be the same as the other continents. It would have a vast land, rich resources, countless experts, and thousands of races, each leading the world for thousands of years ¡­ ¡± you¡¯re looking at the big picture and the long term. don¡¯t you think about yourself? ¡± xia you asked curiously. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not poor. Do we have to sacrifice our generation for the golden age?¡± That was why he followed those young men and women and seized the Dao laws that belonged to them. ¡°But you returned it to them in the end.¡± Xia you spoke. because I¡¯ve thought it through. I¡¯m much stronger than those people. The world has no reason not to choose me. Lin Mo laughed, and the direction in his heart became clearer. ¡± the world has not abandoned anyone. we have given up on ourselves. breaking through realms at will and destroying our own foundations is the same as giving up on our future. ¡± forge a perfect Foundation and step by step into the immortal Foundation. The world will not stop you. At this point, Lin Mo felt as if he had entered a wonderful state, as if he had been enlightened. thunder rumbled in the sky, and the heavenly tribulation fell with a boom, striking lin mo¡¯s body. Lightning flashed and Thunder rumbled. Lin Mo¡¯s body was wrapped in lightning, and the terrifying power helped him temper his body. Some of the White broken bones were removed. The black impurities in his body had also dissipated. His precious body was like jade, emitting a divine light. ¡°This ¡­¡± xia you, who had originally retreated a few hundred feet, turned back again when he saw this strange phenomenon. his eyes were filled with a strange light. At that moment, she actually felt that Lin Mo was right. This was because the heavenly Tribulation was helping him. It was helping him temper his body and help him build his Foundation. It was proof that the world had not abandoned their generation. it was just that the way he helped was a little too cruel. However, in the eyes of the world, everything was illusory. It would carry out what it thought was right and would not care about the opinions of the ants ¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, many thanks.¡± Xia you immediately understood the direction to go and knew where to go. She bowed to Lin Mo and disappeared. She was going to find her own fortune. At that moment, Lin Mo could no longer hear Xia you¡¯s voice. He felt as if his body was about to explode. The boundless energy pouring into his body almost caused him to explode and die. as the dao law entered his body, countless heavenly tribulation energy poured into him, helping him to be baptized. this was to help him build an unparalleled foundation and accumulate his own potential, which would be of great benefit to his future cultivation. In fact, if Lin Mo did not have the God devouring body, he might have jumped up and ascended the immortal platform. After all, this power was simply too great. If it wasn¡¯t for the God Devourer body, who could receive it all? As the heavenly Tribulation spread, countless Nirvana stage cultivators cursed and swore. In the end, they had no choice but to cut off their cultivation and re-cultivate. after tempering his body for 10 days, lin mo sat cross-legged in midair, his body covered in runes. He had received a great opportunity. First, he had been tempered by the heavenly Tribulation, and then he had been guided into his body to build his Foundation. Now that the heavenly Tribulation had provided him with a large amount of energy, he was one step closer to the ninth sky of the Nirvana stage. ¡°boom!¡± on this day, in the boundless mountain range, the tribulation clouds dispersed. they had truly dispersed, and the sun was shining brightly. this was lin mo¡¯s best day. he felt extremely comfortable. he opened his eyes, and his body exuded a holy aura. No matter where he went, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth would involuntarily draw close to him. This was the scene of the body and the great Dao merging. Since ancient times, very few people had been able to achieve this. Even in other continents, they were rare existences. He had the God devouring body and his body was indestructible. He could fight with physical cultivators who had cultivated to the peak of the Nirvana realm. now, he was in harmony with the great dao, and the runes in his body flickered, making his cultivation even easier. the heavenly tribulation dissipated for a short while, allowing many people to heave a sigh of relief. raising their heads, the crack disappeared, and the tribulation clouds were also gone. everyone really felt like they had survived a disaster. some of the nirvana stage warriors who managed to hide were overjoyed. some of them were even more relieved when they found that there was no danger. ¡°it¡¯s already been half a year since the calamity. i¡¯ve been living in seclusion this entire time, and i don¡¯t know what¡¯s happening in the outside world.¡± lin mo muttered to himself as he flew to the nearest town to gather information. the great tribulation had just passed, and there would definitely be people who couldn¡¯t sit still. this was especially so when some of the omnipotent experts had disappeared without a trace. many people with ulterior motives began to have their own thoughts. In particular, when someone broke into a Holy Land and found out that the strength of the Holy Land¡¯s elders was weak, only in the Dragon Realm, they were overjoyed. They launched a crazy attack, burning, killing, pillaging, and committing all kinds of evil. ¡°Heavens, why are you so unfair ¡­¡± the holy land¡¯s elders cried and complained that they were deprived of their cultivation and their holy land was destroyed, but others still had the strength to bully them ¡­ Lin Mo took in everything and remained silent. The world wouldn¡¯t care about the ants. What it wanted was for a true dragon to be born among the ants ¡­ He left the place and headed to the purple Moon Palace. This place was also very chaotic, but fortunately, when the Tribulation clouds dispersed, the beautiful silk had come out to patrol the area. The ninth sky of the Nirvana realm shocked everyone, and they did not dare to be rash. however, the purple moon palace didn¡¯t care about the chaos in the outside world. they closed the mountain gate and basically didn¡¯t open the formation except for the selection of disciples and the collection of taxes. seeing this, lin mo smiled, turned around, and entered the great yan dynasty. he had a few special treasures in his hands, and he needed to find an auction house to sell them ¡­ Chapter 529 - The Current Situation Chapter 529: The Current Situation Three days later, he entered the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty and met many cultivators and ordinary people. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t the only one who realized this. Many other cultivators knew about this as well. Especially the young cultivators, they found that their talent had become better, and their understanding of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the Dao laws had increased. However, there was an obvious flaw. Nirvana stage Warriors had almost disappeared without a trace, and there was not a single one in the cities of Great Yan Dynasty. occasionally, they would hear the news of an expert of a very high realm being stripped of his cultivation and falling from the altar. The city that Lin Mo was in was in such a state. there was a reclusive expert living in seclusion. he was once at the ninth heaven of the nirvana realm, but after a disaster, he fell to the third heaven. Someone had once wanted to attack him and take away his lifetime collection. However, it led to a tragedy. Although the expert¡¯s cultivation had weakened, his combat strength was not weak. It was difficult to find an opponent in the third heaven. His cultivation had been taken back, but his Foundation before the third heaven was very solid, so he could have such strong combat power. Some people who had successfully advanced by swallowing spiritual pills went back to the beginning and started cultivating again. This was what Lin Mo had heard along the way. what did you say? the great ancient divine dynasty met with a calamity and its Imperial City was breached and destroyed? ¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was a little terrifying. The foundation of the great ancient divine dynasty wasn¡¯t weak either. He didn¡¯t expect it to be destroyed in such a short period of time. How cruel was this? the arrival of the golden age had caused many old forces to wither ¡­ It was said that it was the head of the hidden ghost sect. It seemed that there were other people involved, but their true identity had not been discovered. Lin Mo was silent. He really wanted to go there and see what had happened. However, he was now in the Great Yan Dynasty, and he was about to reach the Imperial City. Moreover, he didn¡¯t know how Great Yan Dynasty was doing. He wondered if Zhen Gu was still alive, and if the Imperial City of Great Yan Dynasty had been broken through ¡­ ¡°There¡¯s one more thing. Something strange has happened in the Great Yan Dynasty. A forbidden area of the Imperial Palace is showing signs of abnormality. It seems like a Supreme treasure has been born.¡± It was for this reason that Great Yan Dynasty was in a very dangerous situation, and could be captured at any time. ¡°Is there no one in the Great Yan Dynasty who can match him?¡± lin mo was puzzled and asked a passing cultivator. ¡± of course there are, but all of the top experts have been crippled. i heard that only the number one genius of the heavenly martial clan, chen wu, can participate in the battle! ¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Great Yan Dynasty was one of the few powers that did not Harbor any hostility toward the purple Moon Palace. Now that they were in danger, how could he just stand by and watch? ¡°Zhen Gu, I hope you¡¯re still alive.¡± Lin Mo prayed. The Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty was still as magnificent as ever. Lin Mo had never been here before, and this was his first time stepping foot in it. ¡°The city¡¯s defensive array has been activated, but it¡¯s severely damaged. It¡¯ll be broken soon,¡± There were huge cracks on the city wall, as well as traces of heavenly lightning striking down. Runes flickered on it, but unfortunately, it was almost completely destroyed. The city gate was wide open, allowing everyone to pass through without a single guard. Lin Mo followed the crowd and walked in. The city was still bustling, but there were many more ordinary people. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up when he arrived because he saw some children playing around. They seemed to be quite intelligent. Given time, these people would definitely be able to break through the Nirvana stage and even reach the 5th sky. Lin Mo could also sense the fluctuations of Dao laws from their bodies. They were people who were favored by the heaven and earth. The heavenly Dao was merciless and looked down on all living beings. The life and death of mortals could be decided with a single thought. This Heavenly Tribulation had deprived cultivators of their cultivation and improved the world, allowing countless people to have a better cultivation environment. However, cultivation was a battle against the heavens. Now that a Supreme treasure had appeared in the Great Yan Dynasty, countless experts had rushed over like wolves and tigers, hoping to use the Supreme treasure to improve their cultivation base. Lin Mo kept moving forward. His destination was the palace. He wanted to find Zhen Gu. Right now, although his cultivation base had yet to reach the peak, he had his own methods and was about to become one of the top powerhouses. Everything on the streets was the same as before. Some people were even discussing whether Chen Wu could fight the enemy alone. the top expert of Great Yan Dynasty has been crippled, but the ordinary people don¡¯t know about it. They thought it was to train the younger generation ¡­ Lin Mo nodded slightly. The heavenly Tribulation had nothing to do with mortals, and the interests of cultivators would not be related to mortals. He shook his head. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly realized that his surroundings had become quiet. A woman in a long dress appeared in front of them. The mortals couldn¡¯t help but retreat. They didn¡¯t notice anything unusual. Lin Mo stopped and looked at the woman in front of him. there was a sad and beautiful expression on her face, as if she was crying and laughing to death. there were tears at the corners of her eyes, and a sense of sadness spread throughout her body. It was Gu Luo, the third Princess of the great ancient divine dynasty, the future Empress. She was actually here? was she here to attack Great Yan Dynasty? The two of them looked at each other and didn¡¯t say anything. There was no one around to disturb them, so they couldn¡¯t help but make way for the two of them to come closer. In the end, they boarded a restaurant and found a private room to sit opposite each other. ¡°Brother Lin, how have you been?¡± Gu Luo was the first to ask Lin Mo about the situation in the Ziyue Palace. She was very sad and could not hide it. The great ancient divine dynasty had been destroyed, and she had lost her home. She had come to the great Yan divine dynasty. Now that he saw Lin Mo, he was reminded of the purple Moon Palace. It was still shrouded by a great formation, but it was said that the beautiful silk was still a strong practitioner of the ninth heaven. Her cultivation base had not been taken back and returned to heaven and earth. ¡°everything is fine in the purple moon palace. it¡¯s fine ¡­¡± Lin Mo said as he nodded. He sighed. If it wasn¡¯t for the Bai family¡¯s help and the formation, the purple Moon Palace would probably be in the same situation now. Now that he thought about it, the purple Moon Palace was probably the strongest force in the eastern continent ¡­ brother Lin is truly a genius. Where did you get that formation from? it can actually block natural disasters ¡­ gu luo¡¯s red lips parted slightly. his voice was lively and full of envy. her black hair fluttered in the wind, and the sadness in her beautiful eyes increased. Lin Mo sighed when he saw this. A huge dynasty had been destroyed just like that. Anyone would be sad ¡­ ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Mo asked. If Gu Luo had also come to attack the Great Yan Dynasty, he would have taken action and taken him down. ¡°Brother Lin, you don¡¯t have to be like this. I was saved by Chen Wu and I¡¯m only staying here temporarily.¡± gu luo explained. he could feel the hostility coming from lin mo, and his face turned pale again. Lin Mo did not say a word. He glanced at Gu Luo with a sharp gaze. He would not believe a one-sided story. hehe, brother Lin, you¡¯re in a good mood. You¡¯re here to help me, right? ¡± Space split open, and a white-robed youth appeared. He had a gentle smile on his face. Beside him was a man with an old face. Although he wasn¡¯t old, he seemed to have experienced life, old age, illness, and death. It was very strange. ¡°Chen Wu? Zhen Gu?¡± When the two of them appeared, Lin Mo retracted his gaze. Seeing Zhen Gu in the Royal robe and the Imperial Dragon Qi, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. brother Chen, you¡¯re finally here. Otherwise, brother Lin would have attacked me. gu luo chuckled. the misunderstanding was finally resolved. ¡°Lin Mo, long time no see. Come with me, let¡¯s get to the palace.¡± Zhen Gu walked over happily, put his arm around Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder, and kept talking. Chapter 530 - The Eastern Continent After Heaven Changed Chapter 530: The Eastern Continent After Heaven Changed Lin Mo nodded, and the four of them disappeared from the restaurant. No one knew what had happened here, and they would not care. They returned to the Imperial Palace through the spatial crack. There was still a formation here, but it was slightly damaged. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power even sensed that some experts were secretly peeking at the runes of the formation in search of a way to break it. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Seeing this, Lin Mo showed no mercy. He raised his hand and pressed down, and the terrifying power blasted him into pieces. ¡°Who? how did you find out?¡± could it be that Chen Wu has broken through? ¡± Many people were secretly communicating with each other, not understanding what was happening. However, when they looked at the Imperial City and saw the person who had attacked, their faces changed. Oh my God, that¡¯s Lin Mo. Why did he come out of the Ziyue Palace? ¡± In the entire Eastern continent, there were very few people who did not recognize Lin Mo. After so many auctions, his name had long since spread throughout the entire Eastern continent. In the battle outside the purple Moon Palace, Lin Mo had fought against a hundred people by himself, shocking both ghosts and gods. Now that the natural disaster had only subsided temporarily, why was he out? Furthermore, Great Yan Dynasty was currently under attack. What was Lin Mo¡¯s motive for appearing at this time? many people¡¯s hearts were beating wildly. In the Imperial Palace, the oppressive atmosphere was instantly relieved with Lin Mo¡¯s arrival. Zhen Gu ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain Lin Mo and Gu Luo. A large number of delicacies were served. It was only then that Lin Mo realized that there was not a single Nirvana stage practitioner among the people who had come to the banquet ¡­ ¡± not bad. the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this wine has increased. if i drink more, my foundation will be better ¡­ ¡± An old man was chuckling as he held a cup of wine and drank alone. Even though he appeared to be very optimistic, Lin Mo could still sense the desolation in his eyes. ¡°Who is he?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had seen through the old man¡¯s strong comprehension of the Dao laws. In other words, he was previously a Nirvana stage practitioner, and his level was not low. the fifth elder of the Imperial Palace, a Nirvana stage cultivator at the 8th sky. His cultivation was taken back by the natural disaster, so he could only cultivate again. zhen gu sighed. Even he was not spared. Most of his cultivation had been recovered, and he was now at Dragon Realm level 20. It could be said that he was the Emperor with the lowest cultivation level in history ¡­ Seeing Lin Mo look over, the old man chuckled and came over with a glass of wine. He even respectfully asked Lin Mo to teach him the method to break through to the Nirvana stage. He wanted to find the loopholes in his previous breakthroughs and make up for them. lin mo was secretly in awe of this state of mind. many people¡¯s cultivation had been taken back, and most of them were unable to recover from it and became depressed from then on. She didn¡¯t expect him to be able to sort out his mentality and start cultivating again. ¡°Senior, you don¡¯t have to be so modest. Your understanding of the Nirvana stage is not any weaker than mine. I dare not.¡± Lin Mo raised his wine glass and returned the toast without any hesitation. However, the old man still shook his head. After asking Lin Mo about his views and understanding of the Nirvana stage, he returned to his seat in satisfaction. Lin Mo¡¯s comprehension had been of great help to him. He seemed to have understood something. After the banquet, the atmosphere in the Imperial Palace eased up a lot, and the enemies outside did not dare to attack Great Yan Dynasty anymore. this was because he knew how powerful lin mo was. he was one of the few powerful geniuses who had survived the heavenly tribulation and had not lost his cultivation. ¡°Brother Lin, didn¡¯t you suffer any damage?¡± Chen Wu and Gu Luo asked Lin Mo. The two of them had also been affected, but it wasn¡¯t much. They had only fallen One Sky. Now that the environment had become more suitable for cultivation, the two of them had improved very quickly and were now at the seventh sky of Nirvana stage. ¡°I withstood the heavenly Tribulation and gained a lot of benefits from it.¡± Lin Mo spoke frankly and shared his previous insights for the two to refer to. the general trend is that the eastern continent will become an existence that is not weaker than the other continents in the future? ¡± The two of them were shocked. The catastrophe had destroyed the world. They thought that it was the heavenly Dao looking down on the common people, or that the environment had changed and the eastern land would be completely exhausted. he didn¡¯t expect this to be a new student. However, the price of this new life was a little too heavy. Their generation had to become the cornerstone of the birth of the golden age. your understanding is wrong. We¡¯re not the foundation, but we¡¯re still people in the golden age. Lin Mo shook his head. He asked the few of them to carefully understand if the bottleneck of their cultivation had become lower. It was very easy to break through the barrier to the next realm. Moreover, those who had their cultivation taken back would be re-cultivated and could cultivate better. However, due to the drop in their cultivation, many of them were found and killed by their enemies. For example, the great ancient divine dynasty had been destroyed. ¡°That¡¯s not right, I still have a question.¡± Chen Wu thought of something and said, ¡± I¡¯ve heard that the other continents are incomparably huge. The entire Eastern continent combined is not even comparable to a mountain range of the other party ¡­ He had read many ancient books, wanting to find out the reason for the birth of the catastrophe and why it had ended the future of his generation. Although he did not find out anything, he did find out a lot of information, such as how big the other continents were and how strong the cultivators in them were ¡­ that¡¯s right. The other continents are vast and boundless. The eastern continent can¡¯t compare to them. Lin Mo nodded. If Bai Luo had not told him before, he might have thought that even if the eastern continent was weak, its area would not be much smaller than the other continents. ¡°Why is it like this?¡± Zhen Gu asked out of curiosity. His talent was mediocre, and it was impossible for him to leave the eastern continent in this life. However, he was also very curious. I don¡¯t know. We can only wait for the eastern continent¡¯s people to explore it. lin mo shook his head. bai luo had left, and he did not know who to ask. ¡°Brother Lin, are you going to leave the eastern continent?¡± Gu Luo was stunned and looked at Lin Mo in shock. He had heard that the God Devourer body couldn¡¯t break through to immortal Foundation in the eastern continent because of a lack of resources. However, with the continuous emergence of new resources in the eastern Peninsula, Lin Mo might have a chance to break through. But was he going to leave after breaking through? ¡°Please keep it a secret for me. When I rise in the future, please help me take care of the purple Moon Palace.¡± lin mo thought for a long time and decided not to hide anything from the three of them. he believed that they could be trusted. ¡°Brother Lin, please speak.¡± Chen Wu nodded. Bai Luo is not from the eastern continent. He came to the eastern continent this time to train. Jiang xiyue and my sister, Lin die, left the eastern continent with him. They should be in the southern continent now ¡­ Just as Lin Mo said that, Chen Wu and the other two were stunned. Their eyes lit up in shock. is it hard to accept? but it¡¯s the truth. The formation protecting the Ziyue Palace is from a force in the southern land. Lin Mo chuckled and took a sip of the wine. They were all talking through voice transmission, so no one else heard them. They only saw Chen Wu and the others looking at Lin Mo in shock. In fact, Chen Wu and the others were already in a state of shock. If this news were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Eastern continent. No one would be able to calm down. after thinking about it carefully, bai luo seemed to have appeared suddenly, and no one could find out who she was. In addition to her talent, it was not an exaggeration to say that she was from the southern land. Chapter 531 - 531 The General Trend 531 The General Trend However, even so, they still found it hard to believe. ¡°Brother Lin, why don¡¯t you leave?¡± Gu Luo suddenly asked. It was very difficult to make a breakthrough with the God Devourer body in the eastern continent, even now. As the resources had just been born and most of them were not yet mature, leaving was the best choice for Lin Mo. ¡°hehe ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not say anything. It was enough to just give a simple explanation. It was inconvenient to say more. ¡°I¡¯ll leave after I break through to immortal-Foundation, but before that, I still need some spirit stones.¡± He told Zhen Gu not to worry. Some of the closed shops in the palace were reopened, and the auction house was back in operation. if anyone dared to cause trouble, he would attack them directly. Soon, a piece of news was spread. The Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty had opened its gates to hold an auction and a trade fair. Many talented people were invited to participate. When this news spread, many people were stunned. Some time ago, they had sealed the palace and did not allow anyone to have an audience with them. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because Lin Mo has come ¡­¡± Someone mumbled. Now that they knew the reason, Lin Mo¡¯s appearance had broken the deadlock, and no one dared to make any moves. However, there were still some people who didn¡¯t give up. Most of them were itinerant genius cultivators who were usually suppressed by the major forces. Now that the golden age was about to begin, their foundations were strong, and their realms did not fall much. On the contrary, their cultivation speed increased. Moreover, they had more or less obtained an opportunity, so they began to act unscrupulously. With a boom, a huge battle broke out in the palace, and many buildings collapsed. Gu Luo was fighting with someone. The person who had once destroyed the great ancient divine dynasty had come. The palace allowed people to enter. She was found and someone was fighting with her. they were three young men whose qi and blood were as vast as the sea. their strength and combat power were both terrifying and frightening. The two of them exchanged blows, and a field of symbols flickered. Many buildings within the Imperial Palace trembled, and the ground cracked open. Some were unable to withstand the shockwaves from the battle between the two. The battle shocked everyone. Many people looked at it in shock. Was this a rising star? yes and no. In terms of age, they were of the same generation, but the three of them had improved their strength because of the general trend, while Gu Luo¡¯s cultivation had fallen once. The battle was very intense, but it had only started for a short while before it ended. Lin Mo attacked with the Daluo divine sword in his hand, shocking the world with a single strike. With a light stroke, the sword Qi soared into the sky and split the three of them apart. Even their souls could not escape from the disaster. At the same time, Chen Wu also appeared and killed some of the people who harbored ill intentions, shocking the crowd. ¡°Eh, what¡¯s that aura over there?¡± Lin Mo had just displayed his divine might when he sensed a beam of light not far away. It was filled with Imperial Dragon Qi and was very glorious. ¡°It¡¯s the Imperial Dragon Qi. Isn¡¯t the Imperial seal of the Great Yan Dynasty on Zhen Gu?¡± Gu Luo was stunned. He also felt the power of the aura. sigh, we won¡¯t keep it for ourselves. The two of you, let¡¯s go together. We should both have some gains. Chen Wu sighed. He knew that the Great Yan Dynasty would still have to rely on Lin Mo. Besides, Gu Luo was homeless now. It would be great if he could be recruited, so he would not be stingy. ¡°That¡¯s good too. Let me auction a few treasures first.¡± lin mo smiled. many people in the auction hall of the imperial palace looked at lin mo with respect as he came down. ¡°Greetings, Lord Lin Mo.¡± The person in charge of the auction house bowed respectfully. the rest of the people also saluted with their eyes. lin mo¡¯s sword attack just now was earth-shattering, and it was not something they could hope to achieve. no need to say more. I want to auction a few treasures. Help me arrange it. lin mo took out magic tools and elixirs from his spatial ring. Most of them were obtained after he had killed someone who had plotted against him along the way. Of course, the most precious one was the last ball of light. ¡°What, this is?¡± Many people were shocked. When they saw this ball of light, they almost couldn¡¯t help but rush forward to snatch it. This was especially true for some of the younger powerhouses. They had obtained many opportunities, and the birth of the golden age had benefited them greatly. Although he was not as good as the younger generation who had not started cultivating, his talent had also improved. Lin Mo had taken out the opportunities for the children who had not started cultivating. the dao laws of heaven and earth had been extracted from this world by him and sealed with a special method. This thing was also very useful to him, let alone the others. As soon as he appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes burned with eagerness. ¡°Brother Lin, are you really going to auction this item?¡± Gu Luo and Chen Wu were shocked as well. They did not expect Lin Mo to be able to get his hands on this. ¡°You guys need it too, right? I still have some here. Just remember to arrange for an auction.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and took out a few more balls of light. These were all refined by him during this period of time, and he did not fight for other people¡¯s opportunities. However, even with his strength, he could only refine this much. He could feel that the world seemed to be staring at him. If this continued, perhaps heavenly punishment would befall him. Hence, he could not continue. there are five in total, and there won¡¯t be any more in the future. They¡¯ll come to me when they¡¯re refining the heavenly Tribulation. The starting price for each ball is 100 million middle-grade spirit stones. Lin Mo then handed the ball of light to the person in charge of the auction. at the same time, he looked around and said coldly, ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about snatching it away. I¡¯ve left a soul imprint on it, and not many people can break it.¡± ¡°Those who aren¡¯t afraid of death can try.¡± The system¡¯s requirement was that the auctioned treasure had to go through the entire process and complete the transaction. Occasionally, he would also be asked to protect the buyer, so the necessary warning could not be missed. ¡°the two of you, how about we go and explore it together?¡± Lin Mo smiled and invited the two of them to check out the forbidden area below the palace. As for Zhen Gu, he was too weak and might lose his life if he went in. It was safer for him to stay in the palace. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s hope that brother Lin will be able to gain something.¡± Chen Wu smiled indifferently. He also coveted that treasure, but he did not have the ability to take it away. If Lin Mo could be brought out, it would be a good thing for the Great Yan Dynasty. at the very least, there would be a lot less trouble in the near future. ¡°should we follow them? maybe we¡¯ll get something.¡± There were people in the crowd who did not want to participate in the auction and planned to follow Lin moqian to search for the treasure. ¡°No, Lin Mo¡¯s strength is at the 8th sky of Nirvana stage. He¡¯s not someone we can fight against.¡± that¡¯s right. In the current world, I¡¯m afraid only Holy maiden Xia you and the top seniors of the past generations can fight him. His companion was very worried and unwilling to take the risk. coward, I¡¯m not weak either. Moreover, I¡¯m a genius created by the general trend. I should replace Lin Mo and the others. That¡¯s our destiny. The man was unwilling to give up. He put on a suit of purple-gold armor and rushed forward. In fact, many people thought so, thinking that they were geniuses created by the general trend. He was born with the momentum and should have become the pride of the eastern continent. One had to know that they weren¡¯t weak back then. Some of them had even displayed a different kind of demeanor when they were at a lower cultivation level, and they weren¡¯t any weaker than Holy maiden Xia you. Chapter 532 - 532 The Ancient Divine Tree 532 The Ancient Divine Tree The ancient Divine Tree The three of them entered the depths of the palace and entered a small world through a crack in the void. huh? a level 5 spirit grade spirit herb growing on the road? ¡± As soon as he walked in, Lin Mo was delighted to find a spiritual herb swaying by the side of the road. ¡± the spiritual qi here is so dense. it¡¯s enough to support the growth of level 5 spirit realm spirit herbs. ¡± They were shocked, especially Gu Luo and Chen Wu. They had explored the area before, but there were no spiritual herbs growing on the roadside. ¡°Harvest it. This spirit herb will be of some help to you.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He was not interested in spirit herbs of level 8 or level 9. After all, only these spirit herbs could be auctioned for return-profit earth rank spirit herbs. ¡± let¡¯s continue deeper in. we¡¯ll split the benefits equally. as for the final treasure ¡­ ¡± Chen Wu laughed and said that he did not mind. He directly said that if Lin Mo could take it away, he would give it to him. haha, then I won¡¯t be polite. How about this, if the treasure I obtained isn¡¯t of much use, I¡¯ll auction it off to you. yes! Lin Mo agreed readily. He was in dire need of cultivation resources, so he would not give up on such a benefit. After Gu Luo picked the spiritual herb, the spiritual Qi in this area didn¡¯t weaken. Instead, it became denser. it seems like there are still hidden treasures. Let¡¯s look for them. Chen Wu said with a smile. ¡°Let¡¯s look for it first, but don¡¯t pick the spirit herbs that haven¡¯t grown well.¡± Lin Mo nodded. The opportunities of all living things could not be broken from their roots, nor could they be stopped from growing. This was going against the heavens. In this era of Heavenly Tribulation, it was best not to be too arrogant. In the end, they found another five spirit herbs, one of which was a level 7 Spirit Class spirit herb, which Lin Mo took. there¡¯s more here. I didn¡¯t think that ordinary spirit herbs could grow to The Spirit Level. Lin Mo was very surprised. This was the most common spiritual herb and was usually food for demonic beasts. However, the spirit herbs in this forbidden area had already grown to The Spirit Level. They were too extraordinary. The three of them continued to move forward without touching the lawn. After thousands of years, there might be earth rank spirit herbs growing here ¡­ The weather in the forbidden area changed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, lightning flashed, Thunder rumbled, and a violent storm began. This place was an ancient ruin, and the great Yan Dynasty had risen with it. There were some incomplete formations here that were activated from time to time. ¡°Yi, this forbidden area seems to have changed again.¡± Gu Luo stared ahead and noticed something different. There were traces of her and Chen Wu¡¯s battle there, but they were gone now. The place was shrouded in thick fog. Then, they saw a strange scene in the fog. There was a Divine Tree with silver leaves, and the roots under the trunk were not rooted in the soil. It seemed to have intelligence, and the roots were its feet. It walked around in an open space and absorbed the nearby spirit spring. On the branch, a silver fruit had condensed. It was only the size of a palm, but it had a strong medicinal fragrance, making the three of them feel as if they had ascended to the immortal world. At that moment, Lin Mo felt as if he was about to turn into a feather and become an immortal. What exactly was that? it could actually move on its own. Was it a spiritual medicine or a Divine Tree that had been passed down since ancient times? taking a deep breath, the rich medicinal fragrance spread in their minds. it was extremely pure, and they couldn¡¯t help but walk forward. It was because the fragrance was too attractive. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m about to comprehend Dao. This is a Supreme Divine Tree. It smells so good ¡­¡± Gu Luo¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Chen Wu was also extremely excited. He was intoxicated by the fragrance and couldn¡¯t imagine what grade this Divine Tree was. It was recorded in the ancient books that the truly powerful spirit herbs had a certain level of intelligence and the ability to escape. It was not enough to fly, but it was enough to burrow underground. It was a legendary spirit herb that surpassed earth rank and was extremely precious. The divine Tree in front of him was clearly one of them. lin mo observed his surroundings and did not find anything out of the ordinary. gradually, he was also intoxicated by the fragrance. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Azure devil pill, a level 9 spiritual grade pill. ] [ successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 1 Earth Class spirit pill, Azure Mystic demon spirit pill ] all of a sudden, the system¡¯s notification jolted lin mo awake. an elixir had appeared in the system space. ¡°no, it¡¯s dangerous,¡± Before he could observe further, Lin Mo suddenly felt a dangerous aura. He grabbed Gu Luo and Chen Wu¡¯s hands and pulled them behind him. The Daluo divine sword appeared, and flames and lightning spread out, scattering the mist in front. Only then did he realize that they had unknowingly walked a long distance. A dozen meters ahead, there was an incomplete rune that was connected to the killing formation. Once touched, there would be no corpse left. ¡°That was close ¡­ We almost fell for it. ¡± Gu Luo was shocked, and his full chest heaved up and down. she and chen wu had already fallen into the trap. if not for lin mo, they would have been turned into ashes by the activation of the killing formation. ¡°Do you guys think that the divine Tree is really here ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. The divine Tree had its own intelligence and was very high. It set up an ambush to attract people over and then trigger the array. ¡°It¡¯s very possible.¡± chen wu was deep in thought. it was impossible for such a phenomenon to appear out of thin air, so the divine tree was likely to exist. If that was the case, the silver fruit would definitely be a sky rank spirit herb. Otherwise, it would not have such a high level of intelligence. ¡°we must auction it off.¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. This thing was a precious treasure to him. ¡°What did brother Lin just say?¡± Chen Wu and Gu Luo were shocked at the same time. They suspected that they had heard wrong. Lin Mo actually wanted to auction off that heaven-defying fruit. This was too crazy. ¡°ahem, if i can really get it, i¡¯ll sell it.¡± Lin Mo coughed drily to confirm his thoughts. ¡°But the starting price won¡¯t be cheap.¡± He added at the end. This also dispelled the two¡¯s doubts. The God devouring body required a huge amount of energy, and most natural treasures contained special effects. To the God Devourer body, it was not as good as a certain number of spirit stones. However, a sky-grade fruit would not be cheap ¡­ ¡°let¡¯s go. we¡¯ll go around this place and go deeper.¡± Lin Mo did not want to give up. He had to get it. This fruit might be the key to him breaking through to the 9th sky of Nirvana stage. If he could obtain it, it would be extremely beneficial to him. He would be able to directly break through the shackles of the Nirvana stage and enter the immortal Foundation Stage. ¡°If the terrain hasn¡¯t changed, we can lead the way.¡± gu luo said to chen wu, reminding lin mo not to touch the spatial rift around them. This place was extremely dangerous. The two of them had almost lost their lives when they entered. Lin Mo nodded. He naturally knew how dangerous it was. However, just as he was about to venture deeper ¡­ The system¡¯s voice disrupted his rhythm ¡­ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Dao law comprehension. [ the seller participating in this auction has been targeted. Host, please go and rescue her. If the rescue is successful, the auction will trigger a return-interest rate of 100000 times. ] Chapter 533 - 533 Changes in the Forbidden Land 533 Changes in the Forbidden Land Changes in the forbidden land ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gu Luo was a little confused. He looked at Lin Mo, who had suddenly stopped, and did not understand. ¡± there are many changes inside. why don¡¯t we take the long term plan and make other plans when we get out? ¡± Lin Mo blushed with shame. He had just entered and he already wanted to leave. He really did not know what to say. However, he had no choice. That was a return of 100000 times the auction interest. Moreover, it was his first time putting up the heaven and earth Dao law for auction. This kind of treasure did not even have a grade, and he did not know what the return would be. ¡°I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t leave ¡­¡± On the other side, Chen Wu walked over with a frown on his face. He pointed behind the group. A wall had appeared out of nowhere. The only exit of the forbidden area had been blocked. ¡°Ah, it seems like there¡¯s no other way ¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He tried to attack the wall but to no avail. The Daluo divine sword was incomparably sharp, but it was unable to leave a single mark on his body. they began to move forward and gradually went deeper. during this time, they had bypassed many formations and their harvest was quite rich. they had picked three spirit level rank nine spirit herbs. The spiritual Qi inside was becoming more and more abundant, and some areas had even turned into gas, which was the most suitable for cultivation. ¡°that is ¡­ Top grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo was shocked to see a high-grade spirit stone. This kind of spirit stone did not exist in the eastern continent before. he could recognize it at a glance because bai luo had given it to him before. The upper spiritual stone contained a very strong spiritual Qi. It was wrapped in a stone, and only one foot was exposed. Lin Mo shook it lightly, shaking off the stones on its surface. A white light lit up, and a lustrous white ore that was half the height of a person appeared. Spiritual energy gushed out, making people feel relaxed and happy. the eastern continent is starting to produce high-grade spirit stones. This is a bit fast. Maybe in a dozen years, there will be a high-grade spirit stone mine here. Lin Mo walked over and put the ore away. He estimated that this ore could be refined into more than 100 superior-grade spirit stones. Suddenly, the runes where he was standing lit up, and a red light bloomed. Lin Mo quickly moved to the side. At the same time, flames and lightning bloomed from his body to help him block the attack. But even so, his body was still pierced by the red light. A bloody hole appeared on his left shoulder, almost penetrating his heart. Gu Luo¡¯s face turned pale. She had almost been killed when she tried to take a closer look at the high-grade spiritual stone. Lin Mo was also covered in cold sweat. That was a hidden killing formation that had not been destroyed by the passage of time. He didn¡¯t expect that when he took away the ore, he also triggered the array and almost died here. ¡°That red light can even kill immortal-foundation experts. It¡¯s too terrifying, I can¡¯t touch it anymore.¡± Lin Mo said as he healed his injuries. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We must be careful.¡± As they went deeper, the space around them became much wider. The trees were sparse, but there were more bushes and shrubs. ¡°There¡¯s a medicinal fragrance, it¡¯s an earth rank spirit herb.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s senses were very sharp. Not only him, but Gu Luo and Chen Wu had also smelled the fragrance of the spirit herbs. These were all recently grown. With the improvement in the eastern Peninsula¡¯s environment, they would grow extremely quickly. This phenomenon would probably last for a year or two. It was a form of compensation for the cultivators who had suffered. ¡°Sand Devil¡¯s Snare,¡± Not far ahead, there was a yellow flower growing. The area within two meters of it was barren soil, which was very rare. This kind of spirit medicine was extremely overbearing. If it grew in the outside world, it would devour all the life force within a thousand meters in diameter to satisfy its own growth. Under normal circumstances, it should be surrounded by a desert, which was the origin of its name. However, the spirit Qi concentration here was too high, which caused it to be full after swallowing about two meters. This time, Lin Mo did not dare to be careless. He used a magic tool to pick the spiritual medicine in his place. Fortunately, there was no danger. This spiritual medicine just happened to grow outside the incomplete killing formation and did not trigger it. After successfully harvesting, they continued forward. There were some broken walls and ruins in front of them, which were ancient buildings. It had long been weathered by the passage of time, and it would break into pieces with a touch. there was no redeeming value, only some newly grown spiritual herbs that had the potential to become precious spiritual medicine in the future. As he went deeper, Lin Mo came across an even larger high-grade spirit stone mine. This was already the deepest part of the mountain. A few mountains were about to turn into mines, and only the upper-grade spirit stone mine was here. The few of them did not act rashly. The mine vein was about to form, and taking away the upper-grade spirit stone mine would cause the mine vein to collapse. It was not wise to destroy the root of the opportunity. in the middle of the mines, there was a valley. this was the place with the densest heaven and earth ling qi. ¡°Have you guys been here before?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t,¡± The two of them denied it, but they were also very alert because the killing array had been activated when they had come here. However, the killing formation had been shut down, as if it was protecting the valley in the middle. ¡°if there¡¯s a killing formation, we can¡¯t get in. if we force our way in, something might happen.¡± Lin Mo frowned. They could not go in front, and the way back was cut off. They seemed to be trapped in this forbidden land. they walked forward slowly and smelled the alluring fragrance of the herbs. gu luo couldn¡¯t help but go forward to pick them. Lin Mo quickly pulled her back and stopped her from moving forward. On the other side, Chen Wu was in a similar state, unable to extricate himself. Lin Mo had no choice but to retreat with the two of them. After retreating for a distance, the medicinal fragrance faded for a moment, and they came back to their senses. ¡°That was close. We almost sacrificed our lives to the formation.¡± The two of them heaved a sigh of relief. After seeing the killing formation in front of them slowly operating, they could not help but feel fear. this place seems to have been set up to lure me to break the formation. Everything is planned ¡­ Lin Mo was deep in thought. He thought of the tree of God he had seen at the beginning. Perhaps there really was a tree of God here. Perhaps it had existed since ancient times, and had been in a deep slumber for a long time. It had only recently awoken, and because the eastern Peninsula¡¯s environment had improved, it was now able to grow. The three of them wandered around the valley and searched carefully. Finally, they found a small tree in a corner. It was a meter tall, and there were special patterns on its silver leaves. The most attractive thing about it was the silver fruit on its branch, which contained a terrifying energy fluctuation. The tree seemed to know that Lin Mo and the others had discovered it. It no longer hid and its roots wriggled as it slowly walked around. The fruits on the branches glowed and were extremely resplendent. Every stalk of spiritual medicine in the valley began to move and release a medicinal fragrance. The medicinal fragrance passed through the formation, causing Lin Mo and the others to feel extremely comfortable. ¡°It didn¡¯t set it up. It was trapped in the formation. It wanted to get out, so it lured us here to the blood formation.¡± Lin Mo said in a deep voice. It was very likely that this was a heaven-grade Divine Tree. If possible, he had to get it. After circling the formation once, he found nothing. Lin Mo tried to touch the formation with his magic weapon and was almost sucked into the killing formation. The destructive power of the killing formation was extremely shocking. A huge crack appeared in the space. The strength of this killing formation was not something they could resist or touch. But fortunately, after some searching, they found a teleportation array that seemed to lead to the outside. Chapter 534 - 534 The Dao Law of Elemental Origins 534 The Dao Law of Elemental Origins The Dao law of elemental origin ¡°let¡¯s go. we can¡¯t move this formation. we need help.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He yearned for the sky-grade tree of God, but he had no choice. After all, he did not know much about killing formations. ¡°Who do you want to ask for help?¡± Gu Luo asked curiously. a friend. He¡¯s known as the number one formation Dao expert in the eastern continent. He¡¯s a genius in formation Dao among his peers. Lin Mo smiled. The three of them left the forbidden area through the teleportation formation and appeared at the exit. The exit was wide open and showed no signs of being sealed. ¡°Right, I¡¯ll go check on the auction first.¡± Suddenly, he remembered that he had stopped in the forbidden area for a long time, but the system did not notify him that he had failed the mission. This meant that the person who had won the bid for the rules of the great Dao was probably still alive and could still be saved. then, lin mo flew out of the palace. spreading his soul power, he locked onto a courtyard in the imperial city. Over there, a formation had enveloped the area, and an intense battle was currently taking place. Lin Mo descended from the sky and broke the formation with one move, ending the battle. ¡°Who is it?¡± this was a group of young people. each of them was talented and their strength was around the fifth sky of the nirvana realm. And they were currently besieging a young man. The young man¡¯s expression was determined, and his white robe had long been stained red with blood. Even so, he was still unwilling to give in. He looked around coldly, and a crack appeared on the sword in his hand. ¡°Did you turn a deaf ear to my warning?¡± Lin Mo descended and looked around coldly. He released a powerful aura that made people shiver. ¡°You¡¯ve persisted for quite a long time. May I know your name?¡± He cupped his fists at the young man in the middle. He had originally given up on the return-to-profit treasure of the great Dao laws. He didn¡¯t expect that this person was not simple either. He was actually able to hold on for so long by himself. He had finally held on until he felt it, which made him very satisfied. ¡°Qin Rui.¡± The young man said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His words were emotionless, and he was not grateful for Lin Mo¡¯s help. Lin Mo did not say much about this. However, he could see a future in this young man. Perhaps, this person would grow into a giant in the future and become one of the most powerful people in the eastern continent. Such a person was worth saving. ¡°I can tell that you don¡¯t really want me to interfere.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Under the nervous gazes of the surrounding people, he spoke again, ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you away, for the sake of you bidding for my treasure.¡± ¡°as for your revenge, you can take it yourself in the future.¡± After saying that, he ignored everyone¡¯s reaction and put his hand on the young man¡¯s shoulder, then disappeared. Only a few people were left trembling on the spot. They had truly felt the killing intent from Lin Mo just now ¡­ congratulations to the host for successfully protecting the buyer and maintaining the reputation of the auction. You will receive 100000 times the auction interest. [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a Dao law of the elemental origin. ] After sending the young man off, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The return on interest from the auction was 100000 times, and he would obtain the elemental origin Dao law. lin mo was unfamiliar with this and checked it through the system space. elemental origin Dao law: after refining it, it will allow one to master the cultivation of one¡¯s own elements to the peak. One will understand the origin of the elements and be able to control their own elemental power more perfectly. this was a powerful treasure. even if it was placed in other continents, its value would probably be even greater. However, this thing was not of much use to Lin Mo. He had already reached the peak of his control over the lightning and fire elements. Some of the techniques that he could not use were just because he was not strong enough. The so-called Dao law of the elemental origin would only be an additional flower on top of a brocade. After reading it, Lin Mo left the Great Yan Dynasty and hurried back to the Ziyue Palace in a day. in a secret chamber, he woke xu fei up. after taking a look at the ziyue palace¡¯s array techniques, this fellow had gained a lot of insight and was close to breaking through. The cultivation of array Dao was very wondrous. A breakthrough in realm depended on the comprehension of array Dao, and there was no need to pay too much attention to the foundation. However, this path was also destined to have no shortcuts. Every step had to be comprehended and thought about by himself. ¡°what? an ancient formation and a heaven grade divine tree?¡± Xu Fei was awoken. However, he quickly pouted and said, ¡± ¡°What does that have to do with me? you can¡¯t possibly give me half of the divine Tree.¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately took out the Daluo divine sword and placed it in front of the fellow. ¡°Aiyo, don¡¯t use force. I¡¯m an honored guest of the purple Moon Palace ¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you break the formation, but I¡¯m not that proficient in ancient formations, so I can¡¯t say for sure if I can break it.¡± Compared to Xu Fei, the two of them had returned to the Great Yan Dynasty. However, at this time, earth-shaking changes had taken place here. The entire Palace was shrouded in the purest spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and a dense fog spread. This was the purest spiritual Qi. Many cultivators were cultivating in the Imperial City, and even the ordinary people were cheering. Because they were in such an environment, their physical bodies were improving, and their lifespans were extended by at least twenty years. Gu Luo and Chen Wu came to welcome him, looking a little anxious. The tree of God was quite intelligent. It might have known that Lin Mo was looking for someone to break the formation, so it released a large amount of spiritual energy in the forbidden land. In an instant, the entire Imperial City had become a heaven for cultivators. And the matter of the forbidden area could no longer be concealed. They did not dare to anger the public and made the entrance public, regardless of whether they lived or died. even so, there were still many people who went in these two days. most of them were young geniuses who had recently risen. They thought highly of themselves and felt that the general trend had made them, so they should have a share of this kind of opportunity. Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. With so many people entering, would there be any changes? if the formation was broken and the tree of God escaped, he would suffer a huge loss. don¡¯t worry. This kind of formation is very strange. It needs a large amount of blood essence to open. Xu Fei observed carefully and soon discovered some clues. Gu Luo and Chen Wei were stunned. Wasn¡¯t this the person who auctioned the immortal Sutra? why was he with Lin Mo? After some preparation, they entered the forbidden area. Xu Fei was filled with confidence. After he entered, he resolved many of the incomplete killing formations and helped them find many spiritual herbs. ¡°Hehe, this young master contributed the most, shouldn¡¯t I get more?¡± As he spoke, he reached out and put the earth rank spirit herb he had just discovered into his pouch. It was the same after that. He had gained many benefits, more than Lin Mo and the other two combined. ¡°The two of you can split these.¡± Lin Mo felt bad and gave his share to Gu Luo and Chen Wu. He only had one purpose for this trip, and that was the divine Tree. Even if he didn¡¯t get the divine Tree, he wanted the fruit. However, as soon as they arrived at the core area, a strong smell of blood came over. The place had long been covered in blood. Some people tried to break the formation again, but they triggered a killing tribulation and were swept away by the killing formation. More than a dozen people died instantly, not even their corpses were left. Fresh blood flowed on the ground and finally flowed into the killing formation, causing the red light to shine even brighter and become even more demonic. ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s truly courting death. Does he really think that a killing formation capable of killing immortal-foundation experts is so easy to break?¡± Xu Fei was filled with disdain. In terms of formations, he was the expert here. Chapter 535 - 535 Maintaining The Order Of The Auction 535 Maintaining The Order Of The Auction Maintaining the order of the auction ¡°I need to do some research.¡± However, even though he was confident, he did not dare to be careless. After informing Lin Mo, he took out the formation flags and began to fiddle with them. He didn¡¯t dare to break the formation directly, so he deduced it first. hurry up. Get the divine Tree and divine fruit. I still have to auction them. Lin Mo did not care so much. After obtaining it, he started to auction it off, regardless of the effects of the divine fruit. ¡°Okay. After it¡¯s done, you have to ask the purple Moon Palace to help me collect all kinds of formations in the world.¡± Xu Fei said. ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll go out and help you collect them.¡± When he found out that Xu Fei needed a few days to deduce the items, Lin Mo did not stay idle. He left the forbidden area and personally started the auction. let¡¯s go. Lin Mo is holding an auction. He must have obtained some precious treasure. that¡¯s right. There are countless treasures in the eastern continent now. Lin Mo must have a Supreme treasure ¡­ these people came one after another, bringing along many treasures to participate in the auction in exchange for spirit stones. ¡°I welcome everyone to the auction. I didn¡¯t expect you to come as well ¡­¡± In the auction hall of the Imperial City, Abbot Lin Mo was in charge of the auction when he suddenly cast his gaze to a corner. There, a young man was sitting quietly. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he sized up Lin Mo. some people who passed by him would unconsciously disperse and not pay much attention to him. however, lin mo would never forget this person. this was the person who had caused the catastrophe and the golden age of the eastern peninsula to arrive early. ¡°Hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master, Your Excellency ghost king, why have you come here?¡± lin mo laughed, but his voice was cold. this guy was a heretic practitioner, so he was not a good person. If it weren¡¯t for the fear of the divine Secrets Holy Land and the purple Moon Palace, he and Xia you would have been dead. ¡°What are you talking about, fellow Daoist? I¡¯m no longer an evil cultivator. After the baptism of the heavenly Tribulation, I¡¯ve shed all my evil energy. We¡¯re both cultivators.¡± The ghost king laughed lightly, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking somewhat free and easy. ¡°I don¡¯t have any treasures that you¡¯re interested in in this time¡¯s auction,¡± Lin Mo said. His finale item this time around was the elemental origin Dao law that he had obtained previously. It was of no use to an expert like the ghost king. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m just taking a look. It¡¯s fine as long as fellow Daoist doesn¡¯t chase me away.¡± The ghost king chuckled and sat in the corner of the hall. However, there was no one else around him. Ordinary cultivators all knew how terrifying the hidden ghost sect was and naturally did not dare to sit beside this sect master. ¡°The auction continues.¡± Lin Mo glanced at the ghost king and did not pay much attention to him. He allowed the auction to continue. ¡°The first item is a rank 1 Earth realm spirit herb, sand Datura.¡± ¡°This thing contains an extremely strong amount of spiritual energy. It is also a great supplement for snake-type demonic beasts.¡± The sand Devil¡¯s Snare contained a yin energy. Most snakes were Yin, so devouring the sand Devil¡¯s Snare was much better than ordinary people. by the way, I¡¯m sure you all know that a large number of high-grade spirit stones have appeared in the eastern continent recently. High-grade spirit stones will be used as the currency for this auction. ¡°The starting price of the sand Datura is 800 upper spiritual stones.¡± a high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for 10000 medium-grade spirit stones. in the past, there were very few people who could offer such a price. However, it was different now. The golden age had arrived, and a large number of upper spiritual stones had appeared in the mines of the mountain range. the financial resources of cultivators had also become robust, so they naturally would not be stingy. The bidding continued for five minutes, and finally, the sand Datura was bought by a middle-aged cultivator for three thousand upper-grade spirit stones. fellow Daoist, I only have 1300 upper-grade spirit stones. The rest will be given to you as mid-grade spirit stones. The middle-aged cultivator smiled apologetically. Everyone present was in the same situation, so they would not have many upper spiritual stones. ¡°It¡¯s fine, just use top grade spirit stones as the bidding method,¡± Lin Mo did not mind. The first auction was successful, and the ghost king had no intention of causing trouble, which made Lin Mo feel uneasy. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the level 1 Earth realm spirit herb, sand Devil¡¯s Snare. [ successfully triggered 2000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the rank 2 Earth Class spiritual medicine, Manjusaka ] the red spider lily was a spiritual herb that grew in the desert, and the desert was created by it. It devoured the spiritual Qi in all directions and turned an area into a desert. Its effect was similar to that of the sand devil¡¯s thorn, but its medicinal effect was stronger and had more effects. congratulations, the next auction item is Manjusaka. It is the same as the sand Datura, but it is more effective. It is Rank 2 Earth Class. ¡°The starting price is 15 million.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s gavel landed on the ground, and many people¡¯s gazes were immediately attracted. The red spider lily was useful to many cultivators. ¡°Hehe, you sure are blessed with good fortune, junior. I¡¯m very envious of you.¡± The ghost king, who had been quietly watching from the side, chuckled. the moment he opened his mouth, the heated atmosphere instantly cooled down. some people who wanted to bid also shut up. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s face turned cold. Did this fellow really think that he could not do anything to him? don¡¯t be so excited. I also want to participate in the bidding. I¡¯ve long heard that owner Lin has a good reputation. Even if you¡¯re an enemy, as long as you don¡¯t cause trouble, you won¡¯t drive away your guests, right? ¡± The ghost king waved his hand, signaling for Lin Mo to calm down. ¡°what¡¯s your price?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. ¡°i don¡¯t think anyone needs red spiderlily. you might not be able to get it. i¡¯ll buy it for 1500 upper spiritual stones.¡± As he said this, he looked around, his cold eyes exuding a bone-piercing chill. This scene made everyone panic. They were afraid that the ghost king would make a move here, revealing the nature of evil cultivators and slaughtering the common people. ¡°Announce the results, no one is willing to bid.¡± The ghost king chuckled. His intimidation was very effective. No one was willing to offend the ghost king. 1500 upper spiritual stones, deal! Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s smile turned cold. He had made a huge loss by auctioning off a stalk of spiritual medicine at the starting price. Furthermore, this Manjusaka was the system¡¯s interest-returning item. He would not get any return if he sold it at a loss, so he had really made a loss this time ¡­ [ it has been detected that someone has maliciously broken the rules of the auction house. Please maintain the order of the auction. If you succeed, you will have a chance to get a 10000-fold return. ] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out, causing Lin Mo to be a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that the system would assign him two tasks in a row in such a short time, asking him to maintain the auction. However, this was also in line with his thoughts. Although he wouldn¡¯t suffer a loss if the ghost king continued, he would definitely be displeased. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble everyone to wait for a moment. Someone has broken the order of the auction house. I¡¯ll come back to host the auction after I¡¯ve expelled the person ¡­¡± Lin Mo bowed to the crowd to express his apology. After doing this, he turned to the somewhat stunned ghost king and unsheathed the origin immortal sword. The sound of the sword reverberated in the auction hall. Then, Lin Mo¡¯s figure suddenly disappeared. The ghost king disappeared along with him. In the next moment, a violent collision sound came from outside the Imperial City of Great Yan Dynasty. The mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and the space became unstable. The two of them began an intense battle ¡­ Chapter 536 - 536 A Guest Comes From Afar 536 A Guest Comes From Afar A guest comes from afar ¡°Interesting. A Nirvana stage eighth Sky Warrior can actually exchange blows with me. The golden age is indeed coming.¡± In the mountain range, the ghost king chuckled as he looked at Lin Mo. he had dominated an era. although he was an evil cultivator, his talent was not to be underestimated. his combat strength was so strong that few people in the same realm could exchange blows with him. furthermore, lin mo was still at the 8th sky of nirvana realm, which surprised him. He had thought that he could quickly get rid of Lin Mo and then take over the Great Yan Dynasty, but he had miscalculated. let¡¯s get serious. I haven¡¯t even settled the score with you for taking advantage of me the last time. Lin Mo laughed coldly as the zenith heaven sword glowed. Hmph! the ghost king snorted coldly, and a terrifying aura burst out of his body. A layer of pitch-black armor appeared on his body. This was the embodiment of one¡¯s extreme comprehension of the darkness-attribute Dao law. It formed an armor to protect one¡¯s body. He stared at Lin Mo coldly and said, ¡± God Devourer, submit to me, and I¡¯ll spare your life today. ¡°get lost,¡± he said. kill! Lin Mo replied with a single word before raising his sword to kill. ¡°What?¡± The ghost king was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He realized that Lin Mo¡¯s attributes seemed to be the perfect counter to him. The Thunder and fire raged, and cracks appeared on his armor. This result shocked him. He had been a little careless. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was too strong. He was indeed worthy of being a peerless heaven¡¯s favorite in the golden age. at this realm, he was already not weaker than him. if he broke through, who could be his match? Lin Mo did not use his God devouring body, nor did he use his full strength. He wanted to see how strong the ghost king was. ¡°BOOM!¡± The entire place was in chaos as sword radiances filled the sky, flattening mountains one after another. The ghost king let out a long howl towards the sky and used all of his strength to fight Lin Mo, but he was unable to completely suppress him. ¡°Bang!¡± The sword Qi and the black Qi were fighting against each other, and the symbols were eroding each other. The mountain range had long been in a state of chaos, and it had been destroyed beyond recognition. The two exchanged dozens of moves in an instant, and each collision was extremely fierce. In the end, the ghost king had to stop the battle. He had used up some of his spiritual energy, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. On the other hand, Lin Mo did not consume much spiritual energy, except for his lack of spiritual power cultivation and his slight injuries. and because of the god devourer body, his injuries healed very quickly, returning to normal. In the Imperial City, many young people were dumbfounded. The arrogance in their hearts disappeared, and they no longer dared to be arrogant. At first, they had thought that their rise was inevitable, and Lin Mo, Xia you, and the others would become a thing of the past. Now, it seemed that they were still at the forefront of the golden age, each leading the way ¡­ The ghost king was surprised and shocked. He had originally planned to suppress Lin Mo with his spirit Qi cultivation and take him down. Now, it seemed that this method would not work. If he insisted on doing so, he would probably put himself in a dangerous situation. Lin Mo looked at the ghost king with a deep gaze. His evaluation of the ghost king rose to another level. The other party had already comprehended the darkness-type Dao law to an extreme. If he didn¡¯t use his God devouring body, he wouldn¡¯t be able to gain any advantage. the next moment, the ghost king moved. a bright silver dagger appeared in his right hand, and blood was still dripping from it. The sparkling blood contained a terrifying killing intent. ¡°It¡¯s at least a rank 5 Earth Class magic tool.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A magic tool of this level could only be found in a forbidden area, and it was the most dangerous forbidden area. However, this was also normal. The ghost king was able to dominate the world in his era, so he naturally also had this kind of magic tool. ¡°chi!¡± The ghost king¡¯s body spun in the air, leaving behind afterimages. Each of them looked like a real person as they charged at Lin Mo. The blood-dripping dagger, filled with boundless killing intent, once again collided with the Daluo divine sword. This time, he finally had the upper hand. Lin Mo¡¯s heaven-splitting sword Qi was cut in half by the dagger, and it was about to be pierced through between his eyebrows. In the next moment, the kun Peng wings spread out on Lin Mo¡¯s back. With a gentle flap, it brought him to the side. Lin Mo frowned. The ghost king¡¯s blood Dagger was very mysterious. It was a little special and could not be easily hit. He could vaguely feel that if he was really stabbed in the middle of his brows, his soul would probably be scattered. He opened up the God devouring body¡¯s domain and closed the gap between their spiritual energy cultivation. The ghost king attacked Lin Mo over a hundred times, but not a single one of them hit Lin Mo. He dodged every single one of them. ¡°Hmph, junior.¡± All of a sudden, the ghost king¡¯s aura changed again. His dagger was as fast as lightning, and all the silver light turned black. It moved unpredictably as it stabbed towards Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to underestimate him. Flames appeared on the divine sword, and lightning was contained within. An illusory Vermilion Bird revolved around the divine sword. Although it was small, it contained flames that could burn mountains and boil seas. ¡°Dang!¡± this strike shook the earth and the mountains. the pitch-black dagger broke god devourer¡¯s domain and brushed past him. The ghost king was slightly regretful. Even if his attack had only pierced a little skin, it would have poisoned Lin Mo and greatly reduced his combat power. despite so many collisions, not a single one of them had managed to touch lin mo. the other party had blocked them all. This time, it was even more thorough. The black light on the silver Dagger was completely burned away by the flames, and the poison was completely gone. The battle did not continue, because two more people came from the distance, their auras powerful. ¡°Holy maiden Xia you, and Tian Sha.¡± The bystanders cried out in surprise, this Great Yan Dynasty had become completely lively. the four people in the distance could be said to be the top combat forces in the eastern continent. it was difficult to find an existence in the world that could fight against these four people. Some said that Jiang xiyue, the palace Master of the purple Moon Palace, was as talented as Lin Mo and the Holy maiden Xia you. Furthermore, he seemed to have obtained the inheritance of a true dragon and had pure dragon blood in his body. However, people were surprised that Jiang xiyue hadn¡¯t appeared after such a long time. There was also the other genius from the purple Moon Palace, Bai Luo. What was his cultivation level? ¡°Hehe, it seems like we came at the wrong time.¡± tian sha chuckled and looked at lin mo with surprise and a hint of helplessness in his eyes. he nodded in response. The person in front of them had completely matured. He was no longer a junior, but a top expert who could fight with them. ¡°What business do the two of you have here?¡± Lin Mo asked. In the forbidden area, Xu Fei and the rest were still trying to break the formation. In the end, these three people had appeared. If they wanted to barge in forcefully, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop them. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, I¡¯m just a guest.¡± Saintess Xia you nodded at Lin Mo. She was only in a competitive relationship with Lin Mo. Strictly speaking, they were not enemies. At least, the two of them had not become mortal enemies yet. ¡°A guest?¡± This time, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be confused. There was nothing in Great Yan Dynasty that could attract these two people, except for that forbidden area. ¡°You should be looking for the resources to break through to the ninth sky of Nirvana stage, right? there should be some in the forbidden area.¡± Saint Xia you continued, ¡± most of the spirit ore mines controlled by the divine Secrets sacred land have turned into upper-grade spirit stone mines. as you said, the golden age is coming. I¡¯m here to buy some resources. You¡¯re short of spirit stones, and I¡¯m short of resources. Why don¡¯t we make a deal? ¡° Chapter 537 - 537 An Auction For Three 537 An Auction For Three An auction for three At this point, Xia you laughed. On the other side, Tian Sha also expressed his intention. However, most of the upper-grade spirit stone mines in her hands were robbed ¡­ And a large portion of them came from the great ancient divine dynasty ¡­ it just so happens that the auction is still in progress. Please come in. There might be some spirit herbs you need. Lin Mo chuckled. In that case, these two were big customers, and he had to entertain them well. ¡°if you promise that you won¡¯t cause any trouble, you can continue to participate in the auction. i have quite a few treasures in my hands.¡± Lin Mo said as he looked at the ghost king. he would definitely kill this man if he had the chance. he just didn¡¯t know when he would have the chance ¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry to have kept you all waiting. The auction will continue.¡± [ congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have maintained the order of the auction and can choose a treasure to trigger a 10000-fold return interest. ] As soon as he returned, the system¡¯s voice rang out. A chance for a 10000-fold interest return. Lin Mo had already thought of this opportunity. Even if the tree of God did not sell, he would sell its fruits. ¡°The next item, Earth Class rank 2, Silver Sky silkworm Chrysalis. This kind of insect is rare and can be used as medicine. It can help with spiritual Qi cultivation and calm one¡¯s mind.¡± Lin Mo was holding a silver plate in his hand. On top of the plate was a silver silkworm Chrysalis the size of a palm. There were also some special patterns on it. ¡°Not bad, it¡¯s indeed a good item.¡± Saintess Xia you was the first to speak. She was very interested in the silver Sky silkworm Chrysalis. the rest of the people had wanted to compete for it, but seeing that xia you was interested, they instantly lost their desire to compete. ¡°This item is quite precious. The starting price is 2000 upper spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer. This treasure was rare, and anyone who wanted to break through would need it. this was especially true for breaking through to the immortal foundation that no one had been able to set foot on since the ancient times. ¡°2100 upper spiritual stones.¡± Saintess Xia you was the first to bid, and the rest of the people also gave up bidding. There was no other way. In terms of wealth, who could compare to the divine Secrets Holy Land? ¡°2300 upper spiritual stones.¡± on the other side, tian sha spoke up, not willing to miss the silver sky silkworm chrysalis. ¡°Two thousand five hundred.¡± At the same time, the ghost king also made a bid, which surprised everyone. The crowd only felt that it was a little funny. Just a moment ago, they were still fighting to the death, but the next moment, they were sitting together to auction. In response, Lin Mo did not say anything. He slammed the gavel down and called out a bid, allowing the three of them to continue. In the end, the silver Sky silkworm Chrysalis was bought by saintess Xia you for 3500 upper spiritual stones. congratulations, saintess Xia you, for winning the silver Sky silkworm Chrysalis at the price of 3500 upper spiritual stones. Lin Mo put down his hammer and announced the result of the auction. At the same time, he completed the transaction with Xia you. ¡± congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the earth grade rank 2 silver sky silkworm chrysalis. ¡± [ successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 4 Earth Class silver-winged butterfly chrysalis. It was still a similar treasure that could be used for medicine, but the silver-winged butterfly chrysalis ¡®effect was even stronger. It could make people turn into cocoons, and the day they broke out of the cocoon was the day they would break through. it¡¯s not of much help to me. However, I¡¯ve just auctioned off the silver Sky silkworm Chrysalis. It¡¯s not good to bid on this now. Lin Mo muttered to himself. If the ghost king had been the one to bid for this treasure, he would have sold the silver-winged Chrysalis without hesitation. However, things didn¡¯t go his way, so he could only proceed to the next auction. the next item is a spiritual pill, Rank 2 Earth Class, Sky Soul dark Pill. It can stabilize the dantian and shape the soul. this is a spiritual pill that has been passed down from ancient times. Its medicinal effects have been preserved perfectly. If you take it when you¡¯re in seclusion, it will speed up your cultivation without any side effects. Lin Mo was still talking non-stop, but the ghost king had already lost his patience. tell us the price, ¡± he said as he stood up. we know the effects of this spirit pill. Seeing this, Lin Mo chuckled and said, ¡± ¡°The starting price is 3000 upper spiritual stones.¡± this price shocked everyone present. they looked at the spirit stones they had and shut their mouths. They knew that the following auction had nothing to do with them. This was a competition between saintess Xia you, Tian Sha, and the ghost king. The treasures that Lin Mo had taken out were suitable for the three of them. ¡°Ah, the golden age has arrived, but it has nothing to do with us ¡­¡± Some of the young people were bitter. Some of them were born in the same generation as Xia you and Lin Mo and had once competed with each other. Because of the heavenly Tribulation, a part of his cultivation had been recovered. Later on, through hard work, he had achieved extraordinary things. However, reality had slapped them in the face. They had thought that after the tempering of the heavenly Tribulation, their foundations would be even stronger, and they would be the strongest geniuses. However, who would have thought that Lin Mo and Xia you would be completely unaffected by the heavenly Tribulation? their foundations were solid, and their cultivation had never been recovered. ¡± this must be the difference. we can only serve as a foil in the end ¡­ ¡± Some people sighed. The gap was too great. They had just started, but Lin Mo and the others were already pursuing an unprecedented realm ¡­ ¡°3800 upper spiritual stones.¡± ¡°4000 upper spiritual stones.¡± ¡°4500 upper spiritual stones.¡± Xia you and the other two were still competing, and the bids were getting higher and higher, making people speechless. ¡°5000 upper spiritual stones.¡± In the end, the ghost king offered 5000 upper spiritual stones, suppressing Xia you and Tian Sha. The two of them gave up on the competition. Lin Mo successfully auctioned off the spirit pill and earned 5000 upper spiritual stones. ¡°Mm ¡­ I don¡¯t have enough stock ¡­¡± After the transaction, Lin Mo frowned and sighed. There were still many treasures in the purple Moon Palace¡¯s treasure vault. It was a pity that he didn¡¯t bring any with him when he went back. The heavenly soul dark elixir had been given to him by the system. Right now, the only things he could take out were the elemental origin Dao law and the two spiritual herbs. ¡°The next item is a rank 3 Earth Class soul returning spirit flower.¡± this thing contains extremely dense soul power. It¡¯s very pure and can be absorbed by people. ¡°If I break through to the next realm, I can take this flower. It might have a miraculous effect,¡± Lin Mo gave a simple introduction and then lowered the auction hammer. ¡°the starting price is 3000 upper spiritual stones.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Sha had already made a bid. ¡°3500 upper spiritual stones.¡± hehe, this flower is not bad. Three thousand five hundred upper spiritual stones. The ghost king laughed coldly and joined the bidding. This time, Holy maiden Xia you did not join in, but chose to watch from the side. She felt that her soul was the best in the world and would not be weaker than anyone. Naturally, she did not need any spirit medicine to improve her soul. ¡°3800 upper spiritual stones.¡± ¡°4000 upper spiritual stones.¡± ¡°5000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The price continued to rise. Even though there were only the two of them, it was still very intense. In the end, it was still Tian Sha who made a higher bid. With a price of 6100 upper spiritual stones, he won the soul returning spiritual flower. ¡°Congratulations, tiansha, for successfully winning the bid for the soul returning spiritual flower.¡± As the treasures were all given by the system, Lin Mo did not get any more. However, it was also good to be able to obtain a considerable amount of spirit stones. After completing the deal with Tian Sha, Lin Mo took out another spiritual herb and smiled. ¡°Rank 4 Earth Class, dark fruit of blended Qi. It contains a huge amount of spiritual Qi. I was planning to keep it for my own cultivation.¡± Chapter 538 - 538 The Finale 538 The Finale ¡°However, since a friend has come from afar, I will naturally treat you well. The starting price of the dark fruit of blended Qi is ten thousand upper spiritual stones.¡± It was much higher than the starting price of the previous treasures, and people even thought that this was the final treasure. it¡¯s actually a harmonious Qi serene fruit. It contains pure spiritual Qi and is a great tonic for the God Devourer body ¡­ Xia you¡¯s interest was piqued. She didn¡¯t expect that Lin Mo would take out such a good treasure when it was about to end. ¡°10500 upper spiritual stones.¡± The ghost king was the first to call out a bid, increasing the price by 500 upper spiritual stones. However, Tian Sha also called out a bid, increasing the price by another 500. ¡°Two seniors, this item is very useful to me. I still need to break through to the 9th sky of the Nirvana stage, so please let me have it.¡± ¡°I bid 12000 upper spiritual stones,¡± said saintess Xia you as she stood up. how can such a treasure be given away so easily? 13000 upper spiritual stones. The ghost king didn¡¯t show any weakness and immediately increased the price. ¡°Fifteen thousand.¡± Holy maiden Xia you frowned. The blended Qi serene fruit didn¡¯t have any special effects. It only contained extremely pure spiritual energy. there was an effect. when refining, it would not cause any backlash and could be absorbed naturally. It didn¡¯t waste any energy, and the absorption rate was the same as spirit stones. The spiritual energy contained in the spirit fruit on the stage was equivalent to 15000 upper spiritual stones. however, they didn¡¯t have the god devourer body, so even if the price was slightly higher, it was still acceptable. Thinking of this, Xia you immediately said, ¡± ¡°15000 upper spiritual stones.¡± Such a price made Tian Sha, who was about to speak up, sit down. She was about to break through and she would not give up any resources. ¡°Hehe ¡­¡± The ghost king was silent for a moment. In the end, he chuckled and also gave up the competition. In the end, the blended Qi nether fruit was bought by Xia you. The price was nothing to Lin Mo. ¡°Next up is the finale of this auction. Everyone has been quiet for a long time, it¡¯s time to bid.¡± Lin Mo looked at the crowd below the stage. These people had not had the chance to bid ever since Xia you and the other two had arrived. Now that the finale had appeared, it was time for them to make a sound. ¡°Tree branch Master¡¯s words are too serious. With the three lords here, what qualifications do we have to bid?¡± The people in the hall sighed. Even if they wanted to bid, they didn¡¯t dare to. Although he might be fine now and Lin Mo would take care of him, he would have to bear the consequences once he left the auction house ¡­ ¡± don¡¯t worry. this item was prepared for you. it¡¯s useless to us. ¡± Lin Mo chuckled, and a ball of milky white light flickered in his palm. A sealed Dao law slowly appeared, causing many people¡¯s breathing to become heavy. What¡¯s this? what a dense Dao law. It¡¯s even denser than the ones that were auctioned earlier. did owner Lin capture this? it¡¯s incredible. why do I feel like I¡¯m about to comprehend Dao just by looking at him? he¡¯s too strong. Everyone in the hall was shocked and stood up one by one, wishing they could rush up to the artifact and carefully comprehend what it was. this is the Dao law of the elemental origin. The person who absorbs it will be able to understand the Dao law that they have comprehended. If they are proficient in this element, they will be able to control this power more perfectly. Lin Mo introduced. This item was not of much use to him. Anyone who could be called a heaven¡¯s pride expert was an existence that had a deep understanding of the Dao laws. how could such a person be interested in such a treasure? therefore, this item is useless to us. What are you all waiting for? the starting price of the Dao law of the elemental origin is 15000 superior-grade spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than 500 superior-grade spirit stones. As soon as he said that, the noisy Hall instantly quieted down. some people who were still eager to try just now sat down directly. 15,000 upper spiritual stones? this price was way too high. Who could afford it? The scene fell silent for a moment. No one made a bid because it was too high. This was not a price they could afford, even though this treasure was worth it ¡­ ¡°No one is bidding?¡± Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Lin Mo was helpless. This thing was indeed a little useless. Those who could use it could not afford it, and those who could afford it could not use it ¡­ the final treasure has been auctioned off. Hehe, this is really interesting ¡­ The ghost king sneered. Now that the auction was over, he had no intention of staying any longer. His figure turned into a black shadow and disappeared. ¡°AI ¡­¡± sighing, lin mo waited for a few more minutes while explaining the various benefits of the treasure. However, the result disappointed him. It was still unsold. It couldn¡¯t be helped, the price was too high. Just the base price was already far beyond their reach. ¡°since no one is bidding, this item will be auctioned off. the auction will end today. everyone, please go back. the next auction will be held in a few days.¡± Lin Mo smiled helplessly and kept the Dao law of the elemental origin. after the hammer fell, the people in the hall began to leave, even though they did not get any treasures. However, they had watched a battle between top powerhouses, so this trip was not in vain. moreover, there would be an auction in a few days ¡®time. they would probably take care of them and get more low-grade treasures for the auction ¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, please wait.¡± After counting the spirit stones he had won, Lin Mo was about to head into the forbidden area to check it out when he was blocked by a woman in a white dress. ¡°Holy maiden, what¡¯s the matter?¡± the person who had just arrived was saintess xia you, the saintess of the divine secrets holy land. When she appeared, Lin Mo could feel two powerful spiritual powers locking onto them. It was tiansha and the ghost king. The meaning was clear. Including saintess Xia you, the three of them had probably come here for the forbidden land of Great Yan Dynasty. I¡¯ve observed brother Lin¡¯s face. There might be an auspicious event in the near future. I believe that brother Lin must have gained a lot in the forbidden area? ¡± Saintess Xia you went straight to the point, expressing that she wanted to cooperate with Lin Mo and explore the forbidden area together. As for the treasures inside, they could be divided equally. ¡°If it¡¯s a single treasure, I can pay you a sum of spirit stones. I guarantee that you won¡¯t suffer a loss.¡± Saintess Xia you chuckled. She was very interested in the treasures in the forbidden area. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ve found someone to cooperate with.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and walked past Xia you, planning to leave. ¡°Brother Lin, you and I aren¡¯t considered enemies, right? what¡¯s wrong with forming an alliance?¡± Holy maiden Xia you said helplessly. ¡°I have an ally. I¡¯m afraid that person¡¯s hostility towards you is a little too strong.¡± Lin Mo laughed. Back then, Xu Fei had almost been forced to his death by Holy maiden Xia you. If Lin Mo had not intervened, he would have been captured. This grudge could be big or small, but Xu Fei was clearly not the kind of person who would allow himself to be wronged. ¡°That¡¯s a little regretful ¡­¡± Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s insistence, Xia you didn¡¯t say anything more. She sighed and disappeared. Lin Mo could also sense that Xia you had not left. Instead, she was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. Once the treasure in the forbidden land was revealed, perhaps another great War would break out. The only thing he did not know was whether Great Yan Dynasty could withstand it ¡­ He quickly moved to the forbidden area to see how things were going. Everything was the same as before. In fact, Xu Fei hadn¡¯t even started to study it. He was refining the formation. He said that this formation was very profound, and he couldn¡¯t see through it. It would take him a very long time to break it. Chapter 539 - 539 Five 539 Five-element Dao Fruit Tree Five-element Dao fruit tree Lin Mo did not rush him. He turned around and left. He asked the purple Moon Palace to send people out of the mountain to spread the news and collect treasures and formation maps from various places. Damask and Luo Haoyu had originally planned to leave the mountain as well. They carried the token of the formation with them in an attempt to deceive heaven. However, they weren¡¯t spared. They had just appeared when they were cut down to the first heaven. Seeing this situation, the two of them had no choice but to continue their closed-door cultivation to consolidate their foundations and use the Nirvana of real phoenixes to re-cultivate. The higher one¡¯s cultivation level, the more ruthless one¡¯s cultivation level would be. Although the two of them had escaped, they couldn¡¯t go out. as for the others in the purple moon palace, they could already go out after some time of accumulation. Some of the Nirvana stage Warriors in the Army could go out to gather resources after they had re-cultivated. A Golden Age was born, and news from all sides emerged endlessly. The most exciting thing was that Tang Ling, the number one genius of the Saint burning valley, had reached the eighth sky of the Nirvana realm. she searched for opportunities in the boundless mountains and fought for elixirs from the mouths of many wild beasts in order to break through to the ninth heaven of the nirvana realm. Some people had seen the shockwaves of their battle in the mountains, which shocked the heavens and the earth. Very quickly, half a year had passed. All kinds of new talents kept appearing, and some of the newly rising young cultivators had made rapid progress. They were geniuses created by the heavenly Tribulation, and they kept popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain. A few of them were extraordinarily talented, and they were already at the 7th Sky of Nirvana realm. They had come to the great Yan divine dynasty to challenge Lin Mo and Xia you, as they thought they were extraordinary. Many people were watching, wanting to know the result of the challenge. Lin Mo and Xia you accepted the challenge one after another, ending the battle within ten moves and dispersing the arrogance of these people. it¡¯s a Golden Age. Since the ancient times, there have not been so many geniuses in the eastern continent ¡­ In a restaurant, a few young men and women sat across from each other and drank together. Gu Luo and Chen Wu had left the forbidden area a long time ago. Xu Fei was the only one who had been working on the formation for the past six months. As the host, Zhen Gu set up a banquet for saintess Xia you, and several people sat down and discussed Dao. ¡°Brother Lin, can¡¯t you break that formation?¡± As they chatted, Xia you asked Lin Mo about the treasures in the forbidden land. Xu Fei is still studying it. If even he can¡¯t break it, then no one in the eastern continent will be able to break it either. Lin Mo said with a smile. It had already been half a year, and there was still no progress with the formation. Even he was a little anxious. This was because Xia you¡¯s aura had already touched the 9th sky of the Nirvana realm. Even Tang Ling, who appeared after him, was faster and surpassed him in realm. He was the only one who was still bitterly waiting to obtain the divine fruit. After the auction, he could use those resources to break through in one go. The few of them were helpless. They raised their cups and drank together, starting to chat. However, before they could finish their conversation, the ground started to shake. A violent earthquake occurred in the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty. With a flash of golden light, the resplendent Imperial Palace was blown apart ¡­ ¡°What happened?¡± The people in the Imperial City were shocked. Why would there be an earthquake in the Imperial Palace for no reason? Moreover, the Imperial Palace was protected by an earth-grade formation. Although it was slightly damaged, it was not enough to cause an ordinary earthquake to collapse. Lin Mo was shocked and knew that things were not good. There was a spatial fluctuation, and a few figures appeared. It was Lin Mo and the others. Although they were drinking wine, they were also paying attention to the forbidden area. Now that the forbidden area had exploded and even the Imperial Palace was destroyed, they naturally came to check it out at the first moment. ¡°what a strong fragrance.¡± there were still quite a few people who had come and were attracted by the commotion. lin mo was deeply shocked when he looked into the crack. It was a huge spatial crack. The entire forbidden area was destroyed, and all the spiritual herbs growing in it were destroyed. However, there was a small world in the depths of the crack. There were all kinds of Sacred Spirit herbs inside, and the fragrance assailed the nostrils. The entire world was filled with spirit herbs. At the same time, in the center of the small world, there was a silver Divine Tree with two fruits on it. One was silver in color, and the fruit was full and ripe. The other one was slightly green and had a shallow silver pattern. It had grown in the past six months and had not matured yet. ¡°That¡¯s a Divine Tree. What grade is it?¡± Someone shouted as he stared at the divine Tree. The silver patterns on the tree had traces of the great Dao. it¡¯s a heaven-grade divine medicine. We can only see its exact grade when we get close. this should be the five elements Dao fruit tree, a Supreme Divine Tree. This is only an infant. I didn¡¯t expect that this Divine Tree could be passed down ¡­ others might not know, but she definitely did. the divine secrets holy land had a long history, originating from the ancient era. There must be similar records in some ancient books. ¡°What are the effects of the five elements Dao fruit tree?¡± Lin Mo asked. It sounded pretty strong from the name, but he did not know the specific effects. ¡°Fuse the Dao fruits of the five elements and forge the foundation of the immortal Dao.¡± Xia you said indifferently. The value of this fruit was hard to imagine. As long as he consumed the five elements Dao fruit, he would be able to ascend. As long as he had enough resources, he wouldn¡¯t need to worry about his Foundation and could directly step into immortal-Foundation. This was the power of the fruit. ¡°Swish!¡± The ghost king¡¯s body turned into black mist and disappeared. He was about to enter that small world. Tiansha could no longer remain calm. She knew what a heaven-grade godly medicine represented. It was the key to stepping into immortal-Foundation. naturally, lin mo and the rest would not just sit there and do nothing. one by one, they charged forward and entered the small world. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t randomly barge in. At the very least, wait for this young master to come out ¡­¡± a furious roar attracted lin mo¡¯s attention. he turned his head and saw that there were many formations in the void. there were dense formation patterns and many broken formation flags. Xu Fei was protected by a protective formation. However, that formation could not last for much longer. Very soon, it was struck by the spatial tear and was torn apart. Lin Mo spread the kun Peng wings and pulled Xu Fei out of the crack, allowing him to escape. phew, that was close. That tree really deserved to die. It actually self-destructed its killing formation and almost blew me up ¡­ Xu Fei cursed and wished he could rush in to fight the five elements Dao fruit tree. ¡°Aiya ¡­ It hurts so much ¡­¡± As he cursed, he pulled on his wound and grimaced in pain, his complaints becoming softer. ¡°come back first, don¡¯t rush in.¡± Lin Mo! Xu Fei cried out in a hurry when he saw Lin Mo about to enter the pocket World after saving him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Mo turned around, feeling a little confused. The five-element Dao fruit tree could not be taken away. He had to hurry. ¡°There¡¯s still a protective spell formation in this small world. We won¡¯t be able to catch that dead tree if it doesn¡¯t come out.¡± xu fei cursed and swore, saying that he had worked hard for half a year for nothing. in the end, it was all for nothing. ¡°You can¡¯t catch him?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had waited for half a year and this was the result? What about the resources he needed to break through to the ninth heaven? that¡¯s right. We can¡¯t catch it unless it comes out on its own. We can¡¯t pick the spirit herbs inside either. They¡¯re all guarded. Xu Fei wanted to retreat and return to the purple Moon Palace. Although it was a Golden Age, it was not safe. He wanted to go back ¡­ Chapter 540 - 540 Heavens Will Physique 540 Heaven¡¯s Will Physique Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Heaven¡¯s will physique ¡°ah ¡­¡± As expected, they had not even entered the small world when they heard a miserable cry from inside. Someone wanted to pluck the spirit herbs, but in the end, he was injured by the formation. ¡°no matter what, i have to go in and take. look ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Chen Wu and Gu Luo also wanted to follow him. It was not easy to find a sky-level tree of God, and they would not give up until they saw it. the spiritual Qi here is so dense. I can cultivate much faster here. Lin Mo was shocked the moment he entered. With so many spiritual herbs growing, this place was naturally filled with spiritual energy. Some of the rivers and streams were flowing with spiritual liquid. Rather than a small world, it was more like a small island floating in the void. There were many paths that could be taken, but the spiritual herbs in the herb fields could not be picked. many people were furious, but there was nothing they could do. this formation was too strong, and they couldn¡¯t destroy it. brother Lin, where¡¯s Xu Fei? let him continue breaking the formation. Lin Mo came to the deepest part of the forest and stood in front of the herb field where the tree of God was. Holy maiden Xia you was the first to speak, asking about Xu Fei¡¯s whereabouts. Earlier, she had seen Xu Fei. The latter was in danger and was about to be devoured by the spatial Rift. After Lin Mo had made his move, she had not bothered. ¡°He¡¯s back at the purple Moon Palace. He said that we can¡¯t break the formation here and we can only watch.¡± lin mo spread out his hands with a helpless look on his face. he really wanted this thing, but there was nothing he could do about it. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re saying this because you want to secretly break the formation?¡± The ghost king sneered, doubting Lin Mo¡¯s words. ¡°Whether you can break the formation or not, you should know it yourself.¡± Lin Mo sneered and was too lazy to explain. If this fellow insisted on saying so, there was nothing he could do to refute him. Among the people present, there were only a few of them who could see the clues of this formation. the God devouring physique and the Heaven¡¯s Will physique are actually living in the same world. As expected of the golden age. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen them ¡­ A voice filled with the vicissitudes of life was heard. It seemed to be reminiscing, but it also seemed to be sighing ¡­ ¡°who is it?¡± Everyone present was shocked. Could it be that there were experts hiding in the dark? ¡°You ¡­ it can talk?¡± Lin Mo was shocked as he looked at the five elements Dao fruit tree in the herb field. Then, he came back to his senses and looked at Xia you. Destiny body? what was that? the Heaven¡¯s Will physique is born in response to the heavens and earth. It is in harmony with the Dao and is blessed with great opportunities and luck. to a certain extent, he can even predict the future and calculate all the secrets of the world. The old voice sounded again, as if to clear Lin Mo¡¯s doubts. a heaven-grade Divine Tree that can actually speak human language. Its intelligence is not inferior to humans. It truly lives up to its reputation. The ghost king looked at the divine Tree in the medicinal field, the greed in his eyes never hidden. Earlier on, he had doubted if the treasures here could help him break through to immortal-Foundation, but now it seemed that they definitely could. However, it seemed impossible to obtain the tree of God. This defensive formation was extremely perfect. Even after countless years, it was still undamaged. ¡°Do you guys want the five elements Dao fruit?¡± Before everyone had time to think, the five elements Dao fruit tree opened its mouth. With one sentence, it incited everyone¡¯s greed. ¡°Lord Divine Tree, please bestow me with the fruit.¡± Some people knelt down immediately, claiming that they were the people who rose up in the golden age and that it was the general trend. ¡°The general trend?¡± However, the five elements fruit tree sneered and shook its body, its leaves rustling. ¡°You don¡¯t even see the general trend, and you dare to say that your growth is the general trend?¡± ¡± heaven¡¯s will physique and god devourer physique, come in. you two are qualified to get the fruit. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo felt a jade talisman appear in his hand. There were ancient runes on it. ¡°It¡¯s a teleportation rune. How mysterious ¡­¡± After carefully comprehending it, Lin Mo was shocked. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to break the formation and take the divine fruit, but it seemed that he could not do that now. Even if this Divine Tree did not have any combat power, it could still control the array here and could not attack at will. ¡°on what basis?¡± The ghost king was the first to be unconvinced. He stared at Lin Mo and Xia you, and Tian Sha was the same, unwilling to give up. Why did Lin Mo and Holy maiden Xia you have the chance to obtain the divine fruit, while they couldn¡¯t? ¡°Let¡¯s go. I have a premonition that. great battle is about to break out here ¡­¡± Some people wanted to leave, not daring to stay. Chapter 541 - 541 Chase After 541 Chase After Chase after as the light dissipated, the herb field disappeared, and so did lin mo and xia you. on the small island, everyone was extremely confused. what exactly happened? ¡°Take the spirit herbs yourself, you can¡¯t take the roots away. If you go out, you¡¯ll start a dispute.¡± The ancient voice sounded again but no one could find any traces of the five elements Dao fruit tree. ¡°Bastard, where did you go?¡± The ghost king let out a furious roar. Tian Sha was also unwilling to accept this. Why did this happen? ¡°Thank you for your generosity, Lord Divine Tree.¡± Many people at the back bowed respectfully. Although they couldn¡¯t get the divine fruit, there were many spiritual herbs here. ¡± get lost! are the spiritual herbs here something you can pick? ¡± The ghost king snorted coldly and stared at the young men and women not far away. ¡°You ¡­ Lord Divine Tree allowed me to pick it ¡­¡± A young girl opened her eyes wide and tried to explain. ¡°you can pick them, but you have to be able to bring them out. do what you can.¡± Tian Sha said coldly. At this moment, she was filled with killing intent as well. The friendship she had with Lin Mo previously had vanished into thin air. she had to get the five-element dao fruit. after picking some medicinal herbs, she had to hurry out and look for lin mo. From the light just now, she could sense the aura of Lin Mo and Xia you. They had been teleported out of this place. how about we work together? as for the five elements Dao fruit, we can talk about it after we get it. the ghost king looked at tian sha. the two of them used to be enemies, but now, they felt like they were facing a common enemy. ¡°Sure.¡± Tian Sha nodded and picked a few earth rank spirit herbs with the ghost king, all of which were aged. However, the two of them did not dare to delay too much. After hurriedly picking a few stalks, they left the place. ¡°How should we distribute them?¡± At this moment, Lin Mo and Xia you were teleported to the peak of a mountain outside the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty. The two of them looked at the five Element Dao fruit in the middle and did not make a move. The five Element Dao fruit tree¡¯s words were still ringing in their ears. Don¡¯t kill each other. In other words, you can fight, but don¡¯t make enemies ¡­ They couldn¡¯t figure it out, so neither of them knew what to do. we¡¯ll split it in half. I¡¯ll give you the spirit stones for your half, how about it? ¡± Holy maiden Xia you spoke. She did not want to give up on the five-element Dao fruit, but she followed the five-element Dao fruit tree¡¯s words and did not become enemies with Lin Mo. ¡°Do you know how many spirit stones this divine fruit is worth?¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes. With so many spirit stones, the divine Secrets Holy Land was probably going to disband. ¡°Then what do you suggest we do?¡± Holy maiden Xia you was also in a dilemma. She really had no other choice. five billion medium spiritual stones, plus the incomplete true Kang technique, the Azure Phoenix technique, and the green Lotus sword spell. What do you think? ¡± She gave another tempting condition, which moved Lin Mo. ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it later. Let¡¯s run first ¡­¡± lin mo raised his hand and kept the five elements dao fruit into the system space. the kun peng wings spread out and its speed was maximized. behind them, the green lotus under saintess xia you¡¯s feet spun, emitting special symbols. her speed wasn¡¯t much slower than the kun peng wings. At the very back, tiansha and the ghost king pushed their speed to the limit and pursued madly. The two of them joined forces to hunt down Lin Mo and Xia you. Furthermore, the two of them seemed to be using some sort of secret technique to increase their speed, and the distance between them was constantly closing. you two ignorant juniors, hand over the five elements Dao fruits. The ghost king roared angrily from behind. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the purple Moon Palace first. It¡¯s closer.¡± helplessly, lin mo and xia you turned around and ran toward the purple moon palace. on the way, they met xu fei. what¡¯s going on? you guys got the five elements Dao fruit? ¡± Xu Fei was being held by Lin Mo as he flew, but his mouth was not idle. He kept asking for the reason. ¡°Shut up, or I¡¯ll throw you down.¡± Holy maiden Xia you was the first to be unable to hold it in. This guy¡¯s mouth was a little smelly, and he didn¡¯t forget to tease her while escaping. ¡°Cut it out, we¡¯re allies now.¡± Lin Mo was also helpless. He told Xu Fei to shut up. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Xu Fei was completely dumbfounded as he looked at Lin Mo. He was going to let go of the previous incident? ¡°There¡¯s a problem. There¡¯s definitely a problem between the two of you ¡­¡± Xu Fei still wanted to say something. However, in the next moment, a blood-colored radiance bloomed behind him. ¡°Don¡¯t chat anymore. Quickly run ¡­¡± Xu Fei was shocked. That was tiansha¡¯s attack. It was just a wisp of spiritual energy, yet it actually contained boundless killing intent. ¡°Shut your mouth.¡± Lin Mo cursed. This fellow¡¯s mouth was really loose. How did he meet this fellow on the road ¡­ ¡°Hold on a little longer, there¡¯s still two more hours ¡­¡± They had been flying at an extremely fast speed, so they had consumed a lot of spiritual Qi, but the effect was obvious. they had already flown halfway through the territory of the great yan dynasty, and they would be able to return to the purple moon palace in another two hours. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Suddenly, the void in front of them split open, and two figures appeared. Tiansha and the ghost king appeared at the same time. They had used some unknown method to catch up. ¡°construct the teleportation formation.¡± Lin Mo threw Xu Fei out and told him to get ready to escape. He and Xia you attacked at the same time, fighting against Tian Sha and GUI Wang. ¡°Where are the five elements Dao fruits? hand them over.¡± The ghost king said angrily when he saw Lin Mo. He did not waste any time and immediately used his full strength. ¡°We¡¯ll each take half. You guys have no chance.¡± Lin Mo sneered as he spread the kun Peng wings on his back, unleashing his speed to the maximum. No matter how agile the ghost king was, it was difficult for him to injure Lin Mo. After a while, Lin Mo and Xia you gradually showed signs of fatigue. After all, the other party¡¯s cultivation level was higher than theirs. Although their battle prowess was stronger, in the long run, they might be defeated. ¡°Hand over the five elements Dao fruit and I¡¯ll let you go.¡± Tian Sha, who noticed the situation, said coldly. She was not willing to fight to the death either. Both saintess Xia you and Lin Mo had their own trump cards. Once they used them, even they would not dare to face them head-on. ¡°You two, hurry up and come over.¡± At this moment, Xu Fei¡¯s voice rang out. Several formations had already appeared in the distance. The one in the middle was filled with powerful spatial fluctuations. ¡°that¡¯s amazing.¡± he¡¯s a genius in arrays indeed, ¡± Lin Mo praised. he¡¯s able to set up five arrays of spirit level level 9 in such a short time ¡­ ¡°Stop them!¡± The ghost king was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect that a junior he met on the road would have such strength. ¡°Heavenly immortal art, split open the heavens!¡± die! Holy maiden Xia you shouted. A faint green light flashed in her pitch-black eyes. The green Lotus immortal Qi under her feet fluttered as if she was a banished immortal. the milky-white qi of myriad existences appeared, and the purest and most terrifying power in the world protected him. Her entire temperament had changed greatly, like a banished immortal in the mortal world, making people Revere her and not allow blasphemy. ¡°BOOM!¡± another crack appeared in the sky, and the heavenly tribulation appeared again. the heavenly lightning fell, striking toward tian sha and the ghost king. This time, the ghost king couldn¡¯t be ignored. Without the evil Qi in his body, he couldn¡¯t come back from the extreme. Qilin steps! Nine heaven shaking steps! On Lin Mo¡¯s side, he also used his killing move. The Qilin mark appeared under his feet, and the killing move of the spiritual beast Qilin appeared. The complete Qilin steps had nine steps, but Lin Mo could only use four steps. Even so, the four steps that were used to the extreme were still shocking killer moves. ¡°Bang!¡± Chapter 542 - 542 The Reclusive Heavens Pride 542 The Reclusive Heaven¡¯s Pride The reclusive heaven¡¯s pride ¡°Clang, clang!¡± All of a sudden, many formation flags appeared in the surroundings. The void was cut off, and the teleportation formation that Xu Fei had set up was disrupted. The battlefield was covered by eight battle flags, forming a trapping array that trapped the few of them. Lin Mo and Xia you were trapped inside, so the ghost king and Tian Sha did not have to worry about the two of them escaping. ¡°Who¡¯s making a move?¡± Xu Fei shouted in anger. This was the first time he was shocked. There was actually someone who could break his formation. hehe, I didn¡¯t think that after sleeping for so many years, I¡¯d wake up to meet an array Dao genius. A chuckle came from the void and three figures appeared. Their auras were as vast as the sea. ¡°Spiritual array seed?¡± Holy maiden Xia you was shocked as she looked at the figure at the front. Since the ancient times, the one who had cultivated the Dao of formations to the extreme had never been Xu Fei. The divine Secrets sacred land had records that eight thousand years ago, there was a genius who shocked the world with his killing array. In that era, people even believed that he was an expert who could step into immortal-Foundation. It was a pity that he eventually fell to the passage of time and failed to break through the last barrier. the divine Secrets Holy Land doesn¡¯t like it very much. They were enemies in the past. Since you are the saintess, then you are a mortal enemy. The old man known as the spiritual array seed chuckled and raised his hand, causing array flags to appear around him once more. Array patterns appeared one after another. in the end, it turned into a fire dragon and attacked xia you. it¡¯s said that the God devouring body is a one-in-a-million body type. Its combat strength is heaven-defying, and it¡¯s said to be invincible among its peers. I¡¯d like to know how much my bloodline will improve after devouring your innate blood essence. One of the three stepped forward and licked his Scarlet lips. He looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of desire. ¡°And who are you?¡± lin mo said in a deep voice. Each of these three were existences at the peak of the ninth heavenly layer. As long as they had enough resources, they would be able to break through to immortal-Foundation. it was obvious that tian sha and the ghost king had planned this from the start. the previous battle was just to delay the time for the spiritual array seed to set up a trapping array. are you treating me like I don¡¯t exist? Lin Mo, you guys hold on for a while. Give me half an hour ¡­ Xu Fei was clamoring from outside. He took out array flags one after another, causing them to flutter loudly. The battle between the array flags helped Xia you out of her predicament. At the same time, it also began to break through this trapping array. my two little friends, hand over the divine fruits and I¡¯ll leave. I can even help you break this formation. the third person spoke. he was not very eye-catching earlier, but now that he had appeared, lin mo was helpless. this was an ascetic monk and also a buddha. his wheat-colored skin was quite simple, and lin mo could feel an extremely terrifying power from it. ¡°And who are you?¡± lin mo asked again. unsurprisingly, these were all heaven¡¯s favorites from thousands of years ago. However, what surprised him was how these people could live for so long. An ordinary ninth heaven Nirvana stage practitioner could only live for two to three thousand years. Even if these people were amazing, they should have entered their old age by now. Why were all of them so lively ¡­ ¡°Back then, they had no hope of breaking through to immortal-Foundation, so they sealed their bodies and entered a state of suspended animation, living to this day.¡± holy maiden xia you explained. she sighed. a golden age has appeared, these people have all awakened and are about to break through to immortal-foundation. The five-element Dao fruits were the ticket to enter the immortal-Foundation Stage, so these five people would not let it go. In fact, these people would not let her and Lin Mo off. Whether it was the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s inheritance or Lin Mo¡¯s incomplete divine beast technique, they were both extremely attractive to these people. that Buddha was the number one genius of the Western religious sect ten thousand years ago. He was known as the person with the strongest Buddhist nature in the eastern continent. the Golden body he cultivated is indestructible and indestructible. He has reached the pinnacle of his physical body. Holy maiden Xia you pointed at this Buddha and said. As for the other person, he also shocked her. that¡¯s the number one genius of the eastern land seven thousand years ago. It¡¯s the legendary ancient beast, the Taotie. The Taotie loved to eat and could devour everything, especially the enemy¡¯s innate blood essence. When the Taotie opened its mouth, it could even swallow the heaven and earth. ¡°This is going to be troublesome ¡­¡± Holy maiden Xia you sighed. These five people were all top geniuses who had once ruled an era. Now, the five of them were attacking at the same time, but she and Lin Mo had yet to cultivate to their peak. With insufficient realm, the enemy was outnumbered, and escape was an extravagant hope. ¡°where¡¯s bai luo and jiang xiyue? can¡¯t they come to support us?¡± Xia you asked. She remembered that there were two peerless geniuses in the purple Moon Palace, and Bai Luo was even more frightening to her. Even though he had a mortal body, his talent was not inferior to hers. His combat strength was extraordinary, and she had once wondered if her heaven¡¯s will body had yet to be activated. ¡± bai luo is not from the eastern continent. he left with jiang xiyue. ¡± lin mo sighed. if the two of them were here, their situation would indeed be much better. ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I was right.¡± Holy maiden Xia you nodded. She was not surprised by this result. She had done her calculations before and wanted to see Bai Luo¡¯s Secret. In the end, she came up empty-handed. After many calculations, she came to the conclusion that there was an extremely powerful person who had deceived heaven¡¯s secrets and prevented Bai Luo from being affected. there were no experts of this level in the eastern continent for the time being, only in other continents. ¡°Prepare to fight to the death ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed helplessly. Was he really going to die this time? not necessarily. Hold on for a while, preserve our strength, and find a chance to escape. Holy maiden Xia you looked outside the array. Xu Fei was indeed a genius in formations. In such a short period of time, this trapping array was already almost completely destroyed. However, with the help of the spiritual array seed, the trapping array was repaired very quickly. Hmph, you¡¯re pretty strong, kid. However, it¡¯s four against two. Your cultivation level is not high enough, so you¡¯ll definitely lose. The spiritual array seed sneered. It then looked at the four people behind it and said, ¡°You guys join forces to take them down. We¡¯ll split the spoils later.¡± He started to focus on resisting. Xu Fei could not be underestimated. Otherwise, if he were to tear apart the formation, Lin Mo and the Xia you Holy maiden would definitely escape. The battle was about to start. it had to be said that the combined battle strength of four geniuses that dominated an era was too powerful. lin mo faced the taotie and the ghost king, each with their own thoughts. the ghost king had his eyes on him since the start of the feud, and he had the idea of devouring the god body. The Taotie was even more direct. It wanted to devour Lin Mo¡¯s blood essence to cultivate and improve itself. ¡°Taotie¡¯s mouth, swallow heaven and earth.¡± The Taotie transformed into its demonic beast form. It had the face of a sheep and the body of a human. It had eyes under its armpits, and it had the teeth of a Tiger and the hands of a human. This was the Taotie, a monster. He opened his bloody mouth and a terrifying suction force appeared. Lin Mo felt as if he was about to suffocate. the spirit qi in the surroundings disappeared rapidly. even the spirit qi in lin mo¡¯s body was also disappearing rapidly. ¡°Hmph, you want to compete with me in devouring?¡± Hmph! Lin Mo snorted and spread out his God devouring body domain, forming a black hole with him as the center. The black hole¡¯s suction force increased dramatically, and the spiritual energy that had disappeared earlier instantly returned. The Taotie¡¯s Taotie¡¯s mouth was also broken. The ghost king and the Taotie couldn¡¯t stand still and found it difficult to absorb spiritual energy from the air. is this the God devouring body? I must get it, even if I have to change my body ¡­ Chapter 543 - ADD ADD 543 Suspicion and Jealousy Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Suspicion and jealousy the ghost king smiled greedily. a silver dagger appeared, covered in black energy, and stabbed towards lin mo. ¡°four cloud pierces.¡± die! Lin Mo shouted as the Vermilion Bird Phantom appeared behind him. He merged into it and clashed with the ghost king. at the same time, the daluo divine sword appeared. lightning filled the sky as it attacked the taotie in the distance. Oh my God, this person must be a pervert. He¡¯s one realm lower, but he can still take the initiative to attack ¡­ Xu Fei was dumbstruck as he watched everything that was happening within the formation. On the other side, saintess Xia you was also engaged in a fierce battle. She had activated her heavenly immortal Arts, and her myriad Qi was protecting her body, causing her combat strength to skyrocket. Although he was surrounded, he was in good condition and was able to exchange blows with the two of them. However, she had been maintaining the heavenly immortal chant for a long time, and her spiritual energy could no longer take it. ¡°Hmph, an ant trying to shake a tree, it¡¯s within sight but beyond reach.¡± The ghost king sneered. He then circulated his spirit Qi and used his cultivation technique to attack the Vermilion Bird that Lin Mo had merged with. In the blink of an eye, the Vermilion Bird was blown up, and the place turned into a sea of fire. The temperature of the Vermilion bird¡¯s divine flames was unimaginable, and it could burn mountains and boil the sea. Even the Taotie didn¡¯t dare to swallow it and retreated. After the ghost king had destroyed the Vermilion Bird, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the air and stared at the sea of fire. lin mo was like a trapped beast. although he was struggling intensely, he would not be able to hold on for long. ¡°Kill!¡± the taotie roared in anger. he took out his magic weapon from afar and attacked lin mo. Without a sound, a silver-white dagger suddenly appeared behind Lin Mo¡¯s back, emitting a cold light. ¡°Die,¡± The Taotie¡¯s Dharma artifact was a giant sword that contained many runes. It slashed from the front. For a moment, Lin Mo was caught in a pincer attack, and the situation was a little critical. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned serious. He could not continue like this. His eyes flickered as he looked at the battle between the two and made the first decision. The Daluo divine sword was thrown out, forcing the dagger back. The heaven-splitting sword Qi exploded, suppressing the dagger. However, Lin Mo was also struck by Taotie¡¯s huge sword, and a huge bloody wound appeared on his chest. A terrifying fluctuation spread out, and the entire world boiled. Sword light surged within the sea of fire, emitting a Supreme divine light. ¡°Pfft.¡± Blood splattered as Lin Mo was hit on the back by Taotie¡¯s palm. There was a special symbol on it that devoured some of his blood. however, he also managed to escape with the help of the palm. He arrived at the battle zone of Xia you saintess. A Qilin pattern appeared under his feet, and he took four steps in the void. He stomped on the Buddha¡¯s shoulder. The sudden attack also surprised everyone, and Holy maiden Xia you seized the opportunity immediately. The green Lotus under his feet burst out with infinite sword Qi, and thousands of sword Qi swept out. Even the Golden body could not withstand it. Blood bloomed as the Buddha was forced back. His golden body was destroyed as he flew backward and fell heavily. ¡°Swish!¡± At the same time, the kun Peng wings appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s back, and he attacked together with Xia you, aiming for Tian Sha. The true hou claw combined with the Qilin tattoo instantly arrived in front of Tian Sha and attacked him madly. although the four of them had joined forces, they were fighting on their own and were wary of each other. thus, they seized the opportunity and injured each of them. ¡°Pfft.¡± Tian Sha coughed up blood as he was injured by the two killer moves. However, at the same time, Lin Mo and Xia you were also attacked. The ghost king¡¯s dagger, which was covered in black energy, finally pierced Lin Mo¡¯s heart. This was a heavy blow, and the poison instantly spread into Lin Mo¡¯s limbs and bones. If it was an ordinary person, they would basically be dead after being hit. However, Lin Mo managed to block it with great difficulty. He circulated the spirit devouring technique and activated the spirit devouring body to absorb all the poison in his body. But this time, it was very risky. Although they had injured the two of them, he had also been seriously injured by the two of them because he had ignored the attacks of the ghost king and the Taotie. The Taotie¡¯s bloody mouth bit Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder, sucking away a large amount of blood. ¡°Hmph, can¡¯t you just not use poison ¡­¡± The Taotie said with a frown after swallowing a few mouthfuls of blood. It had finally found an opportunity, but the blood was poisoned. He had to use a lot of spiritual energy to dissolve it. Otherwise, if the poison entered his body, he would have been severely injured. ¡°The God devouring body truly lives up to its name ¡­¡± Chapter 544 - 544 Fighting a Tough Battle 544 Fighting a Tough Battle Fighting a tough battle ¡°You won¡¯t have the chance to recover.¡± At that moment, Tian Sha made his move. Both he and the Buddha had recovered from their injuries faster than Lin Mo. ¡°you¡¯re really willing ¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and took a spirit pill to fight. Although he had changed his opponent, Lin Mo was still having a hard time. hand over the five elements Dao fruit. On account of our past friendship, I¡¯ll help you leave. Tiansha said coldly. Lin Mo had helped her a few times. Although she did not mind being cursed, she was not really cold-blooded. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. The so-called friendship is just a deal.¡± lin mo went berserk and circulated the spirit devouring technique at full force. with the daluo divine sword in his hand, he began to fight for his life. The 16-meter golden body appeared once again and engaged in close combat with Lin Mo. He was now extremely resentful of Lin Mo. They had been fighting well, but Lin Mo had suddenly intervened and caused him to be seriously injured. ¡°boom!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s physical body collided with the Golden body, and a violent explosion rang out. tiansha released a heaven-shaking blood qi and attacked. the sword light of the daluo divine sword could not block it and pierced through it. Lin Mo was injured again after the exchange of blows, and he staggered backward. that¡¯s it. Attack with all your might. I¡¯ll help you with the formation. the spiritual array seed was attacking from a distance, and at this time, it was no longer just watching. if he delayed any longer, things might change, so it was best to deal with it as soon as possible. ¡°BOOM!¡± Once again, Lin Mo used the Qilin steps to the extreme, killing the sixteen-foot golden body and finally blowing it up. The Buddha had lost an arm, and Tian Sha was also injured. The Daluo divine sword had left many sword marks on Tian Sha. ¡°pfft.¡± Fresh blood spurted out again. Lin Mo was severely injured once again. Many parts of his body were mangled, and the injuries that he had tried so hard to heal were once again injured. ¡°Now, let¡¯s kill one first.¡± The spiritual array seed hurriedly said. He couldn¡¯t care about maintaining the array anymore and hurried over, gathering spiritual energy in his palm. ¡°Kill!¡± The ghost king also broke away from Xia you¡¯s obstruction and shot out his Silver Dagger, aiming for Lin Mo¡¯s forehead. ¡°Die,¡± Tiansha also made its move. Blood Qi filled the air and Lin Mo¡¯s body trembled violently. suddenly, there was a loud boom. The formation that enveloped this place shattered. The void split open, and a Golden Path appeared. A terrifying battle prowess erupted, shattering the formation. At the same time, the power spread in and helped Lin Mo block the killing moves of the few people. ¡°The violet spirit guards.¡± The ghost king was shocked. This Army had become even stronger, and most of them had broken through to the Nirvana stage. Such a terrifying Army formed a battle formation and looked down on everyone. ¡°It¡¯s finally here ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. He was seriously injured this time ¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, how are you?¡± Two anxious voices were heard. Two figures flew over under the shroud of battle intent. The two of them were damask and Luo Haoyu. They had arrived with their troops, and fortunately, they were not late. ¡°You¡¯re heavily injured, quickly heal.¡± Luo Haoyu urged as he took out a spirit pill and spirit medicine for Lin Mo to consume. ¡°Aunty, elder Luo, your strength ¡­¡± When Lin Mo saw the two of them, his heart was filled with self-blame. The foundation of these two people was not strong enough. When they come out, their realms would definitely be retracted. Now, they were only at the sixth sky of Nirvana realm ¡­ ¡°We¡¯re fine. We can go up through cultivation.¡± Qi Luo shook her head indifferently. The most important thing now was Lin Mo¡¯s injury. ¡°How can it be so fast?¡± The ghost king and the others were furious. This had completely exceeded their expectations. He had originally thought that everything was under control, but in the end, there was still a change. They even predicted that another peerless genius, Tang Ling, would come to help them before they attacked. However, he didn¡¯t expect the purple spirit guards from the purple Moon Palace to come to his rescue. This was impossible. Even for people of their strength, it would take about two hours to get here from the purple Moon Palace at full speed. Not to mention the slow marching speed of the Army, it would take at least a few days to get out of the Ziyue Palace ¡­ ¡°I say, have you all forgotten about the existence of yours truly?¡± At this moment, Xu Fei, who had been keeping a low profile all this while, finally couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. He laughed out loud and told them the truth. With the existence of the spiritual array seed, he couldn¡¯t break the array, so he could only secretly set up a teleportation array to connect to the purple Moon Palace¡¯s teleportation array. After such a long delay, the violet spirit guards had finally arrived. ¡°There was a scare but no danger ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and called saintess Xia you over. With the protection of the violet spirit guards, the ghost king and the others would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to attack. ¡°Vice Palace Lord, what¡¯s next?¡± Yang Feng stepped forward and saluted. He was furious when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s injuries and wanted to kill these people. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. We can¡¯t hold them back.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The most important thing now was to return to the purple Moon Palace. unless the battle formation of an expert on the level of the ghost king was terrifying to a certain extent, there was no way to completely take down the other party. If he really wanted to leave, he wouldn¡¯t be able to stop him without an expert of the same level. in addition, spread the news that the purple Moon Palace will be auctioning the five elements Dao fruit in three days. Many experts are invited to come and bid. Lin Mo chuckled and asked damask to help pass the message. Very quickly, the news of an intense battle had been leaked. Some of the mercenary groups in the mountain range had sensed the energy fluctuations from a distance. When he saw the mighty Purple spirit guards, he understood what had happened. The news spread and caused a huge uproar. At the same time, the news of the purple Moon Palace auctioning the five elements Dao fruit spread, shocking many people. The auction held by the purple Moon Palace a few years ago could be said to have entered the history books. However, the auction of the five-element Dao fruit had refreshed everyone¡¯s knowledge. is this for real? this is the fruit of a heaven grade Divine Tree. Isn¡¯t Lin Mo tempted? he¡¯s actually going to auction it? ¡± it¡¯s said that he and saintess Xia you obtained it together. I guess they¡¯ll auction it for a price and then split it equally between the two of them. I think the buyer is Holy maiden Xia you. It¡¯s an internal agreement ¡­ it¡¯s still worth a look. There must be a lot of good treasures. the world was in a clamor. the purple moon palace had once again become the focus of the eastern peninsula. the hailing city had been almost completely destroyed. Now that it was being rebuilt, the scale had more than doubled. When saintess Xia you arrived at the purple Moon Palace, she was shocked by the great array here. This kind of array could deceive heaven¡¯s secrets. She had the Heaven¡¯s Will physique, and it would be difficult for her to unleash her full strength here. It might even be reduced. ¡°I wonder which expert made this ¡­¡± Saintess Xia you sighed. Lin Mo was also very lucky to be able to meet the geniuses of other continents. His future was bright. ¡°Saintess, feel free to bid for the auction. Just give me half of the price.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The ownership of the five elements Dao fruit had been decided. At the auction price, Xia you would pay Lin Mo half of the spirit stones. ¡°many thanks, brother lin.¡± Xia you did not reject him, and simply laughed. lin mo needed spirit stones while she needed five-element dao fruits. this was the best way to distribute them. ¡°The auction will be hosted by you guys. I need to go into seclusion, so I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± After giving his instructions, Lin Mo headed to the treasure vault of the purple Moon Palace and chose to cultivate in seclusion there. there was an endless collection of spiritual stones here. especially after the golden age, several mines under the name of the purple moon palace had also undergone qualitative changes. He had accumulated enough resources to attempt to break through to the ninth sky of Nirvana stage ¡­ Chapter 545 - 545 The Six Paths of Reincarnation Scroll 545 The Six Paths of Reincarnation Scroll The six paths of reincarnation scroll ¡°i¡¯ve finally reached this step. should i break through to immortal-foundation in one go?¡± Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged in the treasure vault. His body was still covered in blood and his injuries had not fully recovered. He had not been recuperating during this period of time. He wanted to use his injuries to activate the Nirvana of real phoenixes and break through to the ninth heaven of Nirvana stage in the most perfect way. ¡± right, i haven¡¯t seen what great opportunities the bai luo clan has given me. ¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled that Bai Luo had given him a scroll in the past and asked him to open it when he was qualified to break through to the immortal-Foundation realm. ¡°the current me is almost qualified.¡± With sufficient resources, his God Devourer body would be able to break through. Lin Mo unfurled the scroll without hesitation. In an instant, a beam of light shone between Lin Mo¡¯s brows, and a message was transmitted into his mind. It was only at this moment that he realized what kind of treasure he had obtained ¡­ the scroll of six Dao of reincarnation. It contains the true meaning of reincarnation. It can turn back time and comprehend the Dao of reincarnation ¡­ Lin Mo was shocked. The more he read the scroll, the more shocked he became. There was a secret technique recorded in it, which was also a small world. It contained Dao laws and could accommodate living beings, allowing them to grow. If one cultivated within it, one would be able to comprehend the true meaning of reincarnation. A single thought would be eternal ¡­ There weren¡¯t any resources here, only endless spiritual Qi. The Bai clan wanted him to cultivate in there and comprehend the cycle of reincarnation. Although it was dry and boring, breaking through to immortal Foundation in this way would bring him unimaginable benefits. moreover, one won¡¯t be possessed by the devil when cultivating in there. Even if one dies, one can also go back in time and return to the time before the closed-door training ¡­ This was the most shocking treasure he had ever seen. Even in other continents, it would be a treasure that would shock the world. ¡°hmm, it¡¯s not the real thing, but a copy?¡± As he observed, Lin Mo noticed something unusual. The spirit Qi inside was not endless. It was enough for him to break through to immortal-Foundation, and there was still some left, but not much left ¡­ you gave me a fright. I thought the Bai family would be willing to give me such a precious treasure ¡­ Lin Mo laughed regretfully, but he was relieved. The value of this item was still immeasurable. One would not be able to sense the passage of time if they cultivated in it. A hundred years in there might be as long as an instant in the outside world. This was the true meaning of reincarnation. I can¡¯t waste such a good place. I have to hurry up and cultivate. Lin Mo smiled and entered the scroll. The scroll disappeared in a flash of light. Outsiders would not be able to detect it, unless an expert with an extraordinary realm came ¡­ After entering, Lin Mo suppressed his joy and calmed himself down before starting to cultivate. He took out a spirit stone and started to cultivate. He circulated the spirit devouring technique and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi. It was a wonderful place. Lin Mo could not feel the passage of time, as if time had stopped. ¡°So mysterious, so terrifying ¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in surprise because he could clearly feel the true meaning of reincarnation, but he could not understand it ¡­ However, he could feel that time was being limited and flowing very slowly. God devouring body, activate it at full power. Devour life force and temper your body. I will burn my body with Dao fire and forge an unparalleled Foundation. Brimming with confidence, Lin Mo closed his eyes tightly and began his breakthrough. The small world was silent, and only the Dao fire burned. ¡°boom!¡± All of a sudden, a circle of black light appeared around Lin Mo¡¯s body. Like a black hole, it swept out. The spiritual stones around him turned into ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. He quickly fell silent and his breath dissipated, like a real phoenix rising from the ashes. Blood Qi spread out, and the heavenly melody of the great Dao seemed to appear in the small world. This scene was quite magical. Lin Mo seemed to have really turned into a real phoenix, struggling in the Dao fire and enduring the crushing of the Dao law. in the end, his resistance was burned by the surging dao laws and he disappeared completely as if he was dead. Thousands of runes flickered, and rays of dazzling light appeared. They turned into threads and threads, sewing and mending, wrapping Lin Mo within. In the end, the Dao laws interweaved, and Lin Mo turned into an egg. The Dao fire burned, and the God devouring body continued to devour everything. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± a tiny crack appeared, and blood seeped out of it. however, it was quickly burned by the dao fire. Inside the egg, Lin Mo was in a miserable state. His entire body was covered in blood, but it quickly formed scabs under the high temperature, fell off, and turned into ashes. In the end, new wounds appeared, and fresh blood appeared again ¡­ if it wasn¡¯t for the god devourer body constantly devouring spirit qi and providing him with endless vitality, he would have burned himself to death. Every time the God Devourer body broke through, it was accompanied by unparalleled pain. This was the pain he was experiencing now. The last Nirvana in the Nirvana stage was extremely tragic. He even used the true Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana technique, which could be considered a complete Nirvana. He cut off everything and started from scratch. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the sixth level spiritual grade magic weapon, the green peak ruler. ] [ successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the spirit grade rank 7 heaven transformation ruler ] At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. After an unknown amount of time, the auction outside had finally begun. He obtained one treasure after another that could bring him back interest, and he chose to devour them. This was also the reason why he chose Nirvana. There were so many treasures being auctioned, and there were even five-element Dao fruits. If he had a few more of these Supreme treasures, he could even break through to immortal-Foundation. begin! All of your cultivation will be destroyed. Lin Mo made up his mind and instantly cut off the 8th sky of Nirvana realm cultivation that he had cultivated for many years. waves of intense pain came from his dantian, almost causing him to withdraw from his cultivation state. from nothing to something, to cultivate from scratch, this ¡­ is it also considered reincarnation?¡± In a daze, Lin Mo felt as if his soul had caught hold of something, but it quickly disappeared. After that, he didn¡¯t know anything else. He could only feel that something was entering his mind, but he couldn¡¯t see through it. Perhaps these insights would be helpful in his future cultivation, but he had not used them yet ¡­ ¡°BOOM!¡± A loud boom resounded as Dao laws appeared around Lin Mo¡¯s egg. They continuously cleansed Lin Mo as he forged his Supreme Foundation. With the protection of the true Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana technique as the furnace, he himself as the material, and the God devouring body devouring the spiritual energy of all things as the fire. The furnace was formed and contained the universe within. Wisps of chaotic mist appeared and it was very mysterious. Outside the furnace, there was an endless amount of spirit Qi and some special Dao laws. The God devouring mantra was quietly evolving, deducing the Supreme law. For a time, tens of thousands of rumbling sounds resonated with the God devouring mantra. this place began to boil, and the strange phenomenon that was produced shook the entire small world. In the outside world, it was only the day of Lin Mo¡¯s closed-door cultivation. In the evening, the three armies of the purple Moon Palace were waiting in formation. The auction was still going on, and it had already reached the most critical moment. the last auction item is a divine fruit given by the heaven grade Divine Tree, the five elements Dao fruit. Damask was the host of the auction. She didn¡¯t have much experience in auctions, but since the items being auctioned were all precious treasures, she didn¡¯t need much experience. the starting price is 500000 upper spiritual stones, and each bid must be no less than 10000 upper spiritual stones. The appearance of such a high price also shocked the people. Many people shook their heads in regret. Who could afford such a high price? Chapter 546 - 546 Difficult Breakthrough 546 Difficult Breakthrough difficult breakthrough ¡°Five to one hundred thousand.¡± Someone opened the door of the private room at the very front, and Holy maiden Xia you walked out, stating the price. 510000 upper spiritual stones! That¡¯s 5.1 billion medium spiritual stones! The divine Secrets Holy Land is indeed rich ¡­ Some people sighed. This kind of price was directly a few streets ahead of others. ¡°Five hundred and fifty thousand.¡± At this moment, a young man walked out from another private room and slowly spoke. ¡± isn¡¯t that the crown prince of the lu golden divine dynasty? ¡± shush, don¡¯t talk about it. The Lu golden divine dynasty destroyed the great ancient divine dynasty some time ago and is in the limelight. The friend beside the man quickly stopped him. It was better for the lower-class people like them not to participate in the competition between the top forces. ¡°Six hundred thousand.¡± Xia you spoke again, looking at the Crown Prince without saying anything. She naturally knew what the Lu golden divine dynasty was relying on. Perhaps one or two of the ghost King¡¯s Group were standing behind them. this was also the reason why the great ancient divine dynasty had been destroyed so quickly. Now that he was bidding, he was naturally bidding for the person behind him. He just didn¡¯t know who it was. ¡°Six hundred and fifty thousand.¡± ¡°Seven hundred thousand.¡± The price continued to rise, and the crowd was shocked. 50000 upper spiritual stones, and he increased the price just like that ¡­ ¡°Why do I feel like glory world is here, but it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with us?¡± Some of the cultivators were speechless. The heavenly Tribulation had taken back most of their cultivation, but they were able to cultivate up very quickly. on the other hand, although their talents had increased, it was still difficult for them to surpass those people. The title of the eastern continent¡¯s proud Son of Heaven was still firmly in the hands of Holy maiden Xia you and Lin Mo. ¡°A million ¡­¡± The price continued to rise, and finally reached a million upper spiritual stones. at this point, even the divine secrets holy land could no longer ignore it. Although he could afford to fork out these spirit stones, he had also suffered a great loss. Not to mention that it was a Golden Age now, and the consumption of spirit stones was even more ¡­ ¡°One million once.¡± ¡°One million twice.¡± damask did not have any apprehensions. she struck the hammer twice in a row. seeing that the crown prince of the lu golden divine dynasty had not made a bid, she struck the hammer for the third time without hesitation. one million going thrice. Sold. Congratulations, saintess Xia you, for successfully winning the five elements Dao fruit. As soon as she finished, Lu Jinshen stood up and was stunned on the spot before he could bid. ¡°Bastard, why are you shouting so fast?¡± Lu Jinshen shouted at the Crown Prince. He looked at damask, but his face was already pale. He had been ordered to come here. If he could not take the five elements Dao fruit, the entire God dynasty would be destroyed ¡­ who asked you to dawdle? the auction has ended, and the finale item belongs to Holy maiden Xia you. If you want to buy it, go to her. With that, damask threw the five elements Dao fruit in front of Xia you. She wasn¡¯t worried that someone would snatch it from her. After all, the few people in the world who could fight with Xia you were not here. The ghost king and the others were blocked outside by the formation and were forbidden from entering. even if they were allowed to enter, they would not dare to. otherwise, once the formation was activated, the purple spirit guards and the flame god army would be able to make them stay. ¡°Many thanks ¡­¡± saintess xia you chuckled and threw out an interspatial ring, which contained half of the auction price. At this point, the five elements Dao fruit was completely hers. without hesitation, she placed it in front of everyone and bit it lightly. As soon as the crystal-clear fruit entered his mouth, it turned into divine light and fused into his body. The fragrance of the five elements Dao fruit filled the air, and in no time, Xia you had finished the fruit. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Some people were puzzled. It was 10 billion medium spiritual stones! It was gone just like that. There was no effect after eating it? what do you know? this is the foundation of the immortal casting path, and everything is progressing in a subtle manner. ¡°When I break through to immortal-Foundation, that will be the time when the medicinal effects of this divine fruit will erupt. There will be great benefits to it.¡± people were envious. at the same time, they were guessing whether holy maiden xia you¡¯s talent would be even stronger after swallowing the five element dao fruit. ¡°Chi ¡­¡± Suddenly, Dao laws appeared on Xia you¡¯s body, and her aura fluctuated. ¡°He¡¯s about to break through?¡± everyone was shocked. she had just eaten the divine fruit and she was about to break through to the ninth heaven of nirvana stage ¡­ I want to know if the current Holy maiden Xia you is the most powerful person in the eastern continent. Someone gathered his courage and said. I don¡¯t think so. Lin Mo is also in closed-door cultivation. After the spirit stones are sent over, he will be able to break through. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m more optimistic about Lin Mo.¡± I think Holy maiden Xia you is stronger ¡­ there were different opinions, and everyone had their own opinions. at this time, the two main characters were both in seclusion. Saintess Xia you was cultivating in seclusion in a secret room of the purple Moon Palace. She was about to break through. Meanwhile, Lin Mo had already re-cultivated to the Nirvana realm in the small world. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough spiritual energy ¡­¡± While he was cultivating, Lin Mo felt that he was running out of spirit Qi. The resources he had brought in were about to be exhausted. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the five elements Dao fruit. [ successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] ¡°I¡¯m going to use the opportunity to get a 10000-fold interest return.¡± Lin Mo quickly said when he heard the system¡¯s voice. [ triggered 10000 times interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining the five elements Dao fruit. Although it was a 10000-fold interest, it was still a five-element Dao fruit without a grade. Perhaps Lin Mo was not powerful enough, so the system could not detect his level. However, Lin Mo could sense that this five-element Dao fruit was many times stronger than the previous one. He immediately began to refine it, and a steady stream of spiritual Qi spread throughout his body and merged into the Dao fire. The cauldron also received power and became even more indestructible. The Dao fire burned even more intensely as Lin Mo underwent Nirvana once again. However, such a terrifying cultivation method had also caused him to be riddled with holes. His body was crushed by the great Dao and almost collapsed. Under the burning of the Dao fire, his entire body suffered from the painful torment, again and again. The pain this time was far greater than before. It was extremely terrifying and difficult to withstand. Lin Mo fell unconscious a few times and was eventually woken up by the true meaning of Samsara. He returned to the time before he fell unconscious and went through the torture again. Fortunately, his will was strong enough. He had been tortured by the God devouring body for many years, so he was used to it. But even so, he was almost burned to death several times. The risk of breaking through was unimaginable. ¡°BOOM!¡± In the end, the cauldron exploded, and the energy of the five elements Dao fruit was completely devoured. The terrifying energy almost caused Lin Mo to explode. His body cracked, and endless Dao laws ran out of the cracks. With the true Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana technique broken, the energy was too strong, and Lin Mo suffered unimaginable pain. He felt bitter in his heart, but he still persevered. If the furnace was broken, he would use his body to resist the fire of the way. he howled in pain as he was burned, and his aura rose crazily. This was the God Devourer body¡¯s breakthrough. Every time it was a close call, there were no shortcuts. Perhaps the Heaven¡¯s Will Constitution didn¡¯t need to be like this. It was a Constitution that had great opportunities and luck. It wouldn¡¯t be so fierce and domineering when breaking through to the next realm. After an unknown period of time, the Dao fire gradually extinguished. Lin Mo felt as if he had been burned for hundreds of years ¡­ And his current stage was still at the ninth sky of Nirvana stage ¡­ Chapter 547 - 547 Dao Seeking Forbidden Area 547 Dao Seeking Forbidden Area At this moment, Jiang xiyue had already left the purple Moon Palace¡¯s main hall, leaving Lin Mo alone in the main seat. Damask told him everything that had happened in the past five months. With the arrival of the golden age, only the purple Moon Palace and the divine Secrets Holy Land remained intact from the original major factions. The Yan Huang God dynasty was heavily injured and was completely destroyed. Some of the people who survived escaped into the boundless mountains and disappeared. The Lu golden divine dynasty had been destroyed by the ghost king and the others in a fit of anger because they had not been able to obtain the five-element Dao fruit. The Great Yan Dynasty had also suffered heavy losses, but because it was adjacent to the purple Moon Palace, it did not suffer too many attacks. Gu Luo also found some survivors of the great ancient divine dynasty. She discussed with Zhen Gu and decided to merge the two countries, establish the Yuntian business group, and tighten the defense line. Finally, they managed to hold the original Imperial City and changed it to Cloud City. ¡°Aunty, is it really not dangerous for elder Luo to go out?¡± On the main seat, Lin Mo¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. He had not expected that he would take so long to cultivate. Right now, he was already at the peak of the 9th sky of the Nirvana realm and was just one step away from immortal-Foundation. Saintess Xia you had broken through to the ninth heaven three months ago and returned to the divine Secrets Holy Land. During this period of time, even Xu Fei was comprehending the Dao by observing the formation. He had gained a lot and had broken through to the level nine realm. with Xu Fei and Holy maiden Xia you around, there shouldn¡¯t be any problems. Damask answered after a moment of thought. It all started two months ago. The catastrophe in the eastern Peninsula had been completely over. After the catastrophe, various forces were born like bamboo shoots after a rain. Unknown experts rose one by one. The eastern continent began to prosper. Nirvana stage cultivators began to appear in large numbers, no longer as rare as before. What Lin Mo was worried about was that at the same time the calamity ended, the Dao seeking forbidden ground at the center of the eastern continent would change. It was a forbidden area in the center of the eastern Peninsula. People knew that this forbidden area was not simple. However, because there was no danger in this place and it was just a medicinal garden, no one cared about it. The reason why it was mysterious was because cultivating in it was of great help to one¡¯s enlightenment. It was a pity that everyone could only cultivate in it once in their lives. after the calamity passed, the Dao seeking forbidden ground is filled with chaotic spatial currents. It is said that there is an opportunity to break through to immortal-Foundation there. I wonder if it¡¯s true ¡­ Lin Mo frowned. If the purple Moon Palace had not been involved this time, he had even planned to continue his closed-door cultivation and break through to immortal-Foundation in one go. However, Xu Fei had said that he wanted to join the purple Moon Palace and was very interested in the Dao seeking forbidden area. Elder Luo could only follow him and try his luck. ¡°Do you want to go and take a look?¡± Said beautiful silk with a faint smile. The only person in the entire Eastern continent who could threaten Lin Mo now was probably Holy maiden Xia you. The two of them seemed to have turned from enemies to friends. If they joined forces, wouldn¡¯t the eastern continent be free? ¡°I have to go and at least bring elder Luo back ¡­¡± After making his decision, Lin Mo left immediately. Beautiful silk had originally planned to follow him, but Lin Mo had rejected her. With the birth of the golden age, many new faces came to the purple Moon Palace, including many unruly strong men. However, they were still under the jurisdiction of the former elders of the purple Moon Palace. The reason for this was because of Luo Haoyu and damask, the two ninth heaven Nirvana stage powerhouses. In addition to Lin Mo¡¯s prestige, they were intimidated. If all of them left, these people would not listen to the arrangement so easily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, aunty. I¡¯ll bring them back safely.¡± Waving goodbye, Lin Mo activated the teleportation formation and traveled through the space tunnel. The center of the eastern land was millions of miles away from the purple Moon Palace. They ran at full speed and passed through many teleportation formations. After spending two days, Lin Mo finally arrived at the entrance to the Dao seeking forbidden area. ¡°Sigh, someone else has come. Why don¡¯t they listen to my advice ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s arrival caused the people outside the forbidden area to sigh. Someone else had come. They wondered how many days this person could live in the forbidden area. ¡°Eh, that person is so young and so powerful ¡­¡± ¡°Which sacred land is this genius from?¡± Some people were shocked. They could feel the deep and terrifying aura from Lin Mo. I¡¯m guessing it¡¯s the recently rising sky opening Holy Land. I heard that they¡¯ve chosen a Saint who¡¯s already at the eighth sky of Nirvana realm at the age of twenty. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. It could be the myriad beast Holy Land.¡± Everyone chimed in, and Lin Mo was completely confused. ¡®Are these the newly born forces? the news has spread so quickly ¡­¡¯ ¡°No, that¡¯s Lin Mo, the palace Master of the purple Moon Palace ¡­¡± Suddenly, a middle-aged man recalled that Lin Mo had disappeared for almost half a year. Many people thought that he had died because he failed to break through, or that he did not have enough spiritual stones and was still in seclusion. Everyone had their own speculations. However, no one had expected Lin Mo to appear. From the looks of it, he had clearly succeeded in his breakthrough. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± Suddenly, a scream came from the Dao seeking forbidden ground. People looked over and saw a small team being teleported near the entrance for no reason. The next moment, they were hit by a void crack. Everyone was instantly cut in half at the waist, and no one survived. ¡°It¡¯s that terrifying?¡± Some people were scared out of their wits. This spatial Rift was strange and unpredictable, and could easily take a person¡¯s life. let¡¯s go. We might not be able to get the opportunity. Our lives are more important. Some of the people who were planning to enter retreated and left without looking back. No matter what kind of opportunities were inside, it was best to keep his life. Of course, there was also a group of people who did not want to give up. They looked at Lin Mo. In their impression, Lin Mo was not the kind of person who was evil. Even if they were not protected by him, they would not be driven away. It seemed possible to let Lin Mo resolve the crisis at the forefront ¡­ What if they were to obtain heaven-defying fortunes by following Lin Mo? they would be able to rise completely in this Golden Age and create a Holy Land. ¡°There¡¯s an earth rank spirit herb hidden there ¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the place where the previous team had died. They had been teleported here. With his keen spiritual sense, he discovered the universe behind the crack. He walked forward, and in the next moment, a silver-white light slashed at him, brushing past his face. It was extremely dangerous. The silver light cut off a strand of Lin Mo¡¯s hair and almost beheaded him. However, those who followed behind him and wanted to pick up the scraps were in a miserable state. The silver light slashed across, and more than half of the people were split into two, their blood splashing everywhere. If they were lucky, their souls wouldn¡¯t be injured. It wasn¡¯t a fatal injury, and they could just use spirit medicine to reattach their bodies. As for the unlucky ones, their foreheads were sliced open, and their souls were scattered. Lin Mo turned his head. this silver light is a crack in the chaotic flow of space. Even immortal-foundation experts might not be able to block it. You guys better take care of yourselves. After saying that, he spread his kun Peng wings and disappeared into a spatial crack. The people behind looked at each other, each of them hesitant. ¡°Eh, where are the earth rank spirit herbs?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s figure had just appeared when he was shocked. He was in a void without any signs of life. Chapter 548 - 548 The Ground Was Filled With Spiritual Herbs 548 The Ground Was Filled With Spiritual Herbs In this place, even the spiritual energy was very thin, so it was impossible for spiritual herbs to grow. it seems like I¡¯ve been teleported to another place ¡­ He mumbled and recalled carefully. He found that when he entered the space crack, the space shook irregularly. It was at that time that he had entered the wrong space ¡­ ¡°No, there¡¯s a formation blocking the way ahead. I can¡¯t get in ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He searched around and found a few spatial cracks. Some were very dangerous, while others were passages to leave the forbidden area. And the passageway that went deep inside was sealed by a Grand array. This formation was very profound. It borrowed the power of the endless void to obstruct people from entering. no, many people have successfully entered. There must be another way. Lin Mo muttered to himself. Nothing could withstand the passage of time. This formation might seem powerful, but there must be a loophole. Perhaps he could enter from another place. He left this place and re-entered. He tried many passages, but he couldn¡¯t pass through them. He even saw the corpses of living beings in some of the passages. Those who failed to break in would either be killed by the spatial cracks or be killed by the formation. ¡°Ninth heavenly layer of Nirvana stage ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he saw a ninth heaven Nirvana stage practitioner among them. It was an unfamiliar face. He didn¡¯t expect that such a powerful expert would be born in this period of time. He casually took out a spirit level magical treasure and threw it at the formation. As soon as it got close, the void trembled and formed a torrent that completely shattered the magical equipment. ¡°Sigh, how did they get in ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He had tried so many places, but all of them were hopeless. He continued his search and spent nearly a day passing through thousands of space tunnels before he finally found a safe place. After passing through the spatial tunnel, he successfully entered the Dao seeking forbidden ground. When he arrived, he saw another scene. There were many people here, but the so-called danger did not appear. Instead, it was a peaceful atmosphere. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Lin Mo, who had thought that he would encounter all sorts of danger when he first entered, had instead discovered this situation ¡­ this is great! Another expert has entered. We¡¯re one step closer to breaking the barrier. A middle-aged man saw Lin Mo and nodded in satisfaction. He said something that Lin Mo could not understand. ¡°What do you mean?¡± He asked. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please take a look.¡± The middle-aged man asked the crowd to make way for him. After a few futons, there was a spatial barrier. Behind the barrier was the elixir field, which was full of vitality. There were even some spiritual herbs wriggling slowly. This scene shocked Lin Mo. A spirit herb that could move. Sky rank spirit herbs would gain sentience and could avoid danger. These spirit herbs were obviously evolving in that direction. ¡°There are so many of them. Moreover. there are some whom I don¡¯t know ¡­¡± After looking around for a while, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened. This was a treasure trove. It was simply unbelievable. ¡°That¡¯s luck path grass?¡± Lin Mo cried out in shock. He had seen something incredible. It was a three-meter-tall blade of grass with luxuriant branches and leaves, even taller than a tree. that¡¯s right, luck path grass. This is a luck path grass that can nurture countless geniuses. At this age, its value is no less than that of a heaven level divine medicine. The middle-aged man laughed. It was a pity that the herb field was blocked by a barrier, and it was extremely difficult to get over. It wasn¡¯t just the luck path grass. At a glance, it was filled with spirit herbs. Even spirit grade herbs were rare here. Those below the spirit grade had even been reduced to weeds ¡­ ¡°How do I enter?¡± Lin Mo asked. These people were guarding this place and not going in. It seemed like this barrier was not simple. it¡¯s like this. Comprehending Dao on this futon can weaken the strength of the barrier. After reaching a certain level, you can break through it by force. The middle-aged man said as he pointed to a futon, indicating for Lin Mo to go over and study it. everyone can only comprehend it once, and you can¡¯t leave after comprehending it. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have wasted an opportunity. Some people explained to Lin Mo, while others looked at Lin Mo in confusion, feeling that his face was a little familiar. ¡°Alright,¡± he said. Lin Mo did not suspect anything after listening to their introductions. He walked to a futon and sat down cross-legged. ¡°Buzz.¡± When he first started to comprehend the Dao, Lin Mo could feel that this place contained extremely pure Dao laws. This place was definitely a cultivation treasure land that ordinary people could not imagine. this person is so talented. He triggered such a phenomenon at the beginning! The middle-aged man was shocked. He looked at the others, and a few more people walked up and nodded to each other. Behind them, someone was still deep in thought. He stared at Lin Mo¡¯s face and found it more and more familiar. At the same time, the men behind Lin Mo had already drawn their weapons and were aiming at Lin Mo. ¡°Wait a minute ¡­ He is ¡­¡± ¡°Qiang!¡± Someone at the back thought of something and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. A divine sword emitting divine light exploded and cut these people¡¯s Dharma artifacts in half. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes snapped open and he sneered. When he was sitting on the futon, he could already feel the stench of blood. It was the smell of the blood essence of living beings. There had been a battle here, so it couldn¡¯t be so peaceful. ¡°He is Lin Mo ¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re finished ¡­¡± A few people recognized Lin Mo, but they were too late. They had already made their move, and their faces were pale. ¡°So it was premeditated. Tell me, what happened?¡± Lin Mo held the Daluo divine sword in his hand and looked at these people coldly. Were they trying to kill him and take his blood essence? ¡°Sir, please spare our lives. We didn¡¯t do anything.¡± The group of people behind him knelt on the ground one after another, their bodies trembling as they felt a chill from the depths of their hearts. There was no lack of powerhouses among them. There were four people who had fought before, and they were all powerhouses at the eighth sky of Nirvana realm. However, against Lin Mo, he had no way of fighting back at all. His magic tool was destroyed immediately. ¡°He didn¡¯t make a move, but killing intent arose in him. He deserves to be killed.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was cold. He waved his hand, and a sword beam burst forth. The few people who were begging for mercy were instantly shattered, not even their souls could escape. He looked at the four people in front of him and said coldly, ¡± ¡°Tell me, what happened?¡± In the end, these few people explained that they were the first batch of people to enter, and they came from a newly established sect. However, everyone in the sect had been killed by Lin Mo. They explained that when they first arrived, the strongest formation master in the eastern continent, Ling zitian, was also present. The spiritual array seed said that as long as they sacrificed enough blood essence, they would be able to break the barrier. What happened next was that these people pretended to be harmonious and tricked others into coming to comprehend. He sneaked an attack from behind and killed him, then took out his blood essence as a sacrifice. After understanding everything, Lin Mo killed these people without holding back. However, he didn¡¯t have any thoughts of capturing people and sacrificing them. He knew that he wasn¡¯t a good person, but he wouldn¡¯t be an evil person either. He wouldn¡¯t do things like killing innocent people. Looking at the barrier in front of him, Lin Mo gradually fell into deep thought. He couldn¡¯t leave this place easily, because he didn¡¯t know where he would be teleported to the next time he came in. However, he only knew a little about formations. If he wanted to break the formation, he would have to ask Xu Fei for help. Chapter 549 - 549 Dao Seeking Garden 549 Dao Seeking Garden ¡°Eh, what¡¯s going on?¡± At that moment, Lin Mo was still deep in thought. However, in the next moment, he realized that something had changed. The people he had just killed had a formation activated, absorbing the blood on the ground and fusing it into the barrier. At the same time, the formation was still being activated, as if it wanted to refine Lin Mo as well. ¡°It¡¯s not an ancient formation, it¡¯s been set up recently,¡± Lin Mo frowned. The first thing he thought of was the spiritual array seed. This person had also been here. It seemed that he had seen through something and set up a formation to break this place? ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Lin Mo snorted coldly and wrapped himself in flames to offset the power of the formation. At the same time, the barrier in front of him started to change and flash. After the blood essence was injected, cracks appeared on the surface, and some space fragments filled the air. Lin Mo saw many figures in different spaces. But at this time, many people were attacking the barrier. Some were resisting the array, while others were slaughtering the people around them and sacrificing their blood to the array. ¡°A spiritual array seed¡¯s method?¡± Lin Mo was deep in thought. He did not make a move and just watched, ready to leave at any time. No matter what, protecting his own life was the key. Finally, a crack appeared on the barrier, and they could enter the medicinal field ahead. Nine out of ten people will die if they enter the Dao seeking garden. If they aren¡¯t peerless experts, they should be careful! A line of words appeared on the barrier, shocking Lin Mo, especially the last line, ¡± enter with caution ¡°. It was completely blood red, as if it was formed from fresh blood. Behind the crack, Lin Mo could clearly sense a dangerous aura. He did not hesitate and chose to enter. Passing through the crack, he saw stars flowing in the sea of stars. The endless starry sky interweaved and formed a seal. He did not know what was being suppressed under it ¡­ The next moment, a true dragon rushed out and pierced through the sea of stars. Its dragon claws tore the seal apart and crushed a star ¡­ He could feel the power of the great true dragon as if he was in its realm. The scene changed. He saw a real phoenix flapping its wings and soaring in the starry sky. However, it was attacked by an unknown force in an instant and was killed instantly ¡­ In the end, Lin Mo¡¯s vision turned black and he could not see anything. As he slowly regained consciousness, Lin Mo felt his head grow heavy and he was in a daze. ¡°My head hurts. What did I just see? Something from the ancient times? What is that?¡± Lin Mo was confused. He felt as if it had been a dream, but it also felt extremely real. He looked around and found that there were murals in a stone room deep in his heart. It was the scene that he had just seen. This scene made him horrified. It was just a mural, but it could actually let him truly feel the artistic conception within it ¡­ He walked forward, passed through the stone door, and continued to go deeper. He walked forward step by step. The stone rooms were huge, one after another, and there were different murals inside. It was a pity that Lin Mo could not empathize with them as they were only murals ¡­ ¡°Oh,¡± Suddenly, a mural on the stone wall in front of him seemed to come alive. It was a connate rare beast that Lin Mo was very familiar with. It was the nine infants, whom he had fought before. The nine neonate was extremely powerful. It manifested and attacked Lin Mo. Every move was a killing move, trying to kill him. ¡°The illusion of the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage. The nine infants of the ancient era, so powerful.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. With such strength, even if he was confident that he was invincible among his peers, he did not dare to let his guard down. The nine neonate¡¯s strength was enough to suppress the ghost king and the others, and it could really contend with him. Dao seeking garden is that herb field. Is this a test to enter? ¡± Lin Mo understood. Perhaps this was the purpose of the Dao seeking forbidden ground, which was to manifest in the golden age. However, everything was just his guess. Facing the nine neonate, he did not dare to be careless and faced it with all his might. It was a fierce battle. Lin Mo was injured, and after hundreds of rounds of fighting, the last head of the nine neonate was blown up by Lin Mo. The nine neonate exploded and formed a rain of light. The rain of light condensed and gradually formed a black and white Pearl in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Nine neonate inner core.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. This was really a test. After passing, he would be rewarded with the nine neonate inner core, and it was a ninth heaven Nirvana stage inner core ¡­ Just as he was about to reach for it, a sudden voice stopped him. if you take the nine neonate inner core, you will lose the right to continue the challenge. You won¡¯t be able to enter the Dao seeking garden. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Mo asked as he looked up into the sky. The voice was very abrupt, and he couldn¡¯t tell where it came from. you¡¯ve passed the test. You can either continue forward or leave with your reward. The other party¡¯s words gave Lin Mo two choices, which made him hesitate. This nine neonate inner core was very powerful. Although its attributes were water and fire, it did not prevent the God devouring body from devouring it. But taking it would give him the right to enter the Dao seeking garden, did he really have to leave like this? After some thought, Lin Mo decided to give up on the reward. He pushed open the stone door and walked in. Although the nine-headed fierce beast¡¯s inner core was good, if he could take all the treasures in the Dao seeking garden, those resources would be enough for him to break through to the immortal-Foundation Stage several times ¡­ He just didn¡¯t know if the heaven mending monument, which had appeared once before, would allow him to devour it all ¡­ As he walked into the next stone room, the murals lit up and the dual elemental Dao laws of wind and lightning appeared. Countless runes were carved on the surrounding walls, and the laws of heaven and earth formed gales and Thunderbolts as they attacked. Lin Mo wanted to block it, but he suddenly realized that his spiritual energy had been sealed. It wasn¡¯t just his spirit Qi, even his soul power and physical body were shackled, unable to move. He was forced to sit cross-legged on the ground, and the only thing he could use was the lightning fire Dao law on his body. Under activation, lightning and fire spread, resisting the wind and lightning. ¡°So this stone room is testing one¡¯s control of the Dao law.¡± ¡°Bang!¡± The Dao laws collided, resulting in a violent explosion. The four forces exchanged blows, causing Lin Mo to shiver. He felt that his comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth had already reached the acme of perfection, but in this test, he realized his own shortcomings. ¡°The Dao seeking forbidden ground was left behind from the ancient times. Is this place a place where some major power tests their disciples?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. What kind of glorious era was that? the test set up was so abnormal. Wasn¡¯t it afraid that no one would pass? This battle was extremely difficult. Lin Mo was almost killed by the wind and thunder. In the end, he managed to pass through it, but in the end, he still passed the test safely. ¡°Swish!¡± The rain of light condensed and two rays of light appeared in front of Lin Mo. One of them was the nine neonate¡¯s inner core. There was also a scroll, which Lin Mo took to check. He discovered that what was recorded on it was actually the cultivation technique of soul power in ancient times. However, it could not be compared to the God devouring mantra. It was a cultivation technique derived from the God devouring body and was the most suitable cultivation technique for Lin Mo. He would not change it, so he was not very interested in this cultivation technique. The only thing he was interested in was the cultivation method that it originated from the ancient era. If he could study it thoroughly, he might be able to find out some secrets. Chapter 550 - 550 Array Spirit 550 Array Spirit ¡°There are three tests in total. If you fail the third Test, you will die. If you pass, you can enter the Dao seeking garden.¡± The voice rang out once more, causing Lin Mo¡¯s heart to skip a beat. He had passed the second stage, but he wondered if he could pass the third stage. ¡°You can choose to leave with the treasure or continue to take the test.¡± After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo pushed open the stone door in front of him and continued to accept the test. He wanted to enter the Dao seeking garden. ¡°Only the strongest of your generation can enter. The loser dies.¡± The stone door was pushed open, and Lin Mo stared ahead. It was a chaotic place filled with unimaginable dangers. Even if Lin Mo was confident in his strength, he was still shocked by the dangerous aura. ¡°Is this really a test?¡± Lin Mo muttered. In the chaos ahead, he could clearly feel that after entering, even if there was a 90% chance of death, it would still be good. The greatest possibility was that there would be no chance of survival ¡­ ¡°Am I scared? With the God Devourer body and the system¡¯s assistance, he should be able to look down on everyone.¡± Lin Mo mumbled to himself and closed his eyes. Then, he slowly opened them again and calmed down. The path ahead still gave him a sense of danger, but he was fearless. He walked forward calmly without fear. ¡°Swish!¡± With a soft hum, the voice from before sounded again, without a trace of emotion.¡±Strong Dao heart, pass!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the medicinal field that he had seen earlier. At the same time, the Dao seeking forbidden ground also changed. Many people who were trapped in the space were released. They were thrown out of the forbidden area. There were even some people who were also facing challenges, but they were also thrown out. ¡°What happened?¡± bastard, this King was about to pass, but the results were already out. ¡°Look, there are people in the herbal field.¡± Someone was shocked and pointed at the Dao seeking forbidden ground. Other than the spiritual herbs, there was also a blurry figure. This person was Lin Mo. He had passed all the tests and had entered the Dao seeking garden. However, what puzzled him was that this place was guarded by many restrictions. If he acted rashly, his life would be in danger. ¡°If I can¡¯t take anything with me, I might as well take the rewards from the first two rounds ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Could it be that after so many years, the laws of this place had changed and some places were no longer functioning? For example, the person who passed the test would be able to obtain a token or the like, and could take away the treasures in the Dao seeking garden ¡­ ¡°You¡¯re late ¡­¡± The voice from before came again, but this time, he could clearly hear that the voice had emotions and was no longer cold. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Formation spirit,¡± The other party replied. This answer made Lin Mo turn pale with fright. Could formations give birth to intelligence? moreover, what level of formation was that? the entire Dao seeking garden is a formation, or a ritual implement, a formation disk. I¡¯m the spirit of the ritual implement. The formation spirit continued to answer. This time, Lin Mo understood. He knew that a formation disk was required to cast a high-level formation. Formation disks could also be called magic tools, and they could give birth to intelligence. ¡°You said I¡¯m late, what do you mean?¡± Lin Mo continued to ask. There were clearly many treasures in this place. He had come at the right time. the most precious treasure is an immortal treasure, or an egg. It¡¯s breeding a Supreme treasure. ¡°Since I¡¯ve passed the test, can you give me this immortal treasure?¡± Lin Mo asked shamelessly. Since this was a test, there was no reason why there would be no treasures if he passed it. ¡°It was taken away by the Heaven¡¯s Will body. You¡¯re too late.¡± The Dao seeking garden told Lin Mo that the Heaven¡¯s Will body had arrived a month ago. ¡°Holy maiden Xia you ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed in his heart. In the eastern continent, perhaps only Holy maiden Xia you could pass this test. Perhaps Tang Ling could do it too, but he didn¡¯t know where she was now. ¡°The woman with the incomplete absolute beginning flame also came, but her cultivation wasn¡¯t perfect, so she didn¡¯t pass the third stage.¡± The Dao seeking garden had used some method to read Lin Mo¡¯s mind and tell him some information. ¡°Absolute beginning partial flame?¡± Lin Mo really wanted to know if this was the Holy Fire of the Saint burning valley. Unfortunately, the Dao seeking garden was silent and didn¡¯t answer. For a moment, the Dao seeking garden fell into silence. ¡°Then can I pick these godly medicines?¡± Lin Mo pointed at the medicinal field. Luck Dao grass, many earth rank spirit herbs, and even sky rank spirit herbs grew there. If he could get his hands on it, it would be quite a fortune. ¡°Only a third of it can be picked, the roots can¡¯t be taken away. This place has to be left for future generations.¡± The Dao seeking garden said. The world had changed greatly, and the eastern land would flourish. In the future, this place would open once every five years, and those who passed the test could come in and take their rewards. After saying that, the Dao seeking garden stopped talking. Lin Mo could smell the endless medicinal fragrance. The medicinal field here was open to him. With such a dense concentration of spiritual energy, he really wanted to sit cross-legged and start cultivating. ¡°It¡¯s a bit of a pity that I can¡¯t take away the stem of the luck Dao grass ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The truly valuable part of the luck path grass was its stem. Only the part that was picked would have a much lower value. However, there was one planted in the purple Moon Palace, and it could be used as a nutrient to allow that one to grow. this is a Divine Tree of tribulation transcendence. Unfortunately, only one fruit has ripened ¡­ Lin Mo looked at the five-meter tall tree in front of him and drooled. When he was chatting with Bai Luo in the past, he had heard that this kind of Divine Tree had an extremely heaven-defying effect. If one ate a fruit, one¡¯s entire body would undergo a perfect transformation. This transformation was comparable to the tempering of the heavenly Tribulation. This was also the origin of its name, and its value was unimaginable. After plucking the fruit, Lin Mo did not do anything else rashly. There was no point in eating an unripe fruit, so he could not be anxious. ¡°If you¡¯re done picking, then leave.¡± After Lin Mo had picked a dozen baskets of spirit herbs, the Dao seeking garden finally spoke and told Lin Mo that he could leave. ¡°Senior, this junior has some things he would like to ask you.¡± Lin Mo asked humbly. I don¡¯t know much. I¡¯m just following the rules. Since you¡¯ve passed the test, ask away. Dao seeking garden had a good attitude. They weren¡¯t impatient and agreed to Lin Mo¡¯s question. Lin Mo nodded and sealed up the spiritual herbs he had picked. He kept them and asked, ¡± ¡°Senior, where did you come from? who is your master?¡± ¡°Emperor!¡± There was only a single word in reply. It was a simple word, but it seemed to pierce through Lin Mo¡¯s heart. He felt a terrifying pressure. Just this one word made him have the urge to kneel down and worship. ¡°Di ¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled softly. What kind of living being was that? just the mere mention of his name had caused such a change in him. I¡¯ve forgotten. I vaguely remember this word. The rest have been worn down by the years ¡­ The Dao seeking garden sank into deep thought. After a long while, it sighed and told Lin Mo that its knowledge was limited. Lin Mo then asked about the Dao seeking garden. He found out that after five years, there would be five levels in the Dao seeking garden, and he would get a reward for every level he passed. Chapter 551 - 551 Encouraging Greed 551 Encouraging Greed I¡¯m already extremely damaged. In ancient times, there should be nine trials. Only the strongest of my generation can pass through them ¡­ ¡°Even in the ancient era, there were only two or three people who could pass it ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked again. Nine levels? could he pass them? ¡°Naturally, I can.¡± He smiled confidently as he answered the question in his heart. it¡¯s good that you have this confidence. Your talent isn¡¯t any weaker than the people of the other continents. I hope that your generation can grow up in this chaotic world. Dao seeking garden smiled in relief, very satisfied with Lin Mo. yes, chaotic world. Isn¡¯t it a prosperous world now? what¡¯s with the word chaotic world? ¡± Lin Mo sensed something was off and quickly asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but from what I can remember, there¡¯s a saying about troubled times.¡± The Dao seeking garden couldn¡¯t answer because it had lost its memory. Lin Mo¡¯s heart was filled with shock and many thoughts. There was no point in asking further, as there were very few answers from the Dao garden. After expressing his gratitude, Lin Mo took out the six paths of reincarnation scroll given to him by the Bai Luo family and planned to cultivate in seclusion here. The Dao seeking forbidden area was no longer dangerous and outsiders couldn¡¯t enter. It was safe and quiet enough. However, the Dao seeking garden told him to leave quickly. ¡°The reason why so many spiritual herbs can be produced here is because of the laws of time and space, which involve the power of time.¡± you¡¯re too weak. You won¡¯t be able to withstand the passage of time in there. You¡¯ll age instantly and become a pile of bones. The Dao seeking garden said. After this place was closed, it would take five years to open in the outside world. This made Lin Mo feel regretful. He could not stay here any longer. He had originally planned to cultivate in seclusion here. ¡°Thank you senior for explaining. Junior will take his leave.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. little friend, take care. I look forward to seeing you again in five years. The Dao seeking garden responded, and at the same time, the forbidden ground emitted a dazzling light. The power of time and space circulated, and Lin Mo could clearly feel that time had accelerated. The next moment, his body was wrapped in a white light and disappeared through a gap. ¡°Eh, a battle has occurred?¡± The moment he appeared, Lin Mo could smell the blood. Obviously, some of the people who were thrown out had obtained a Supreme treasure, and greed was in everyone¡¯s heart. It was inevitable that there would be a battle. Watching these people fight and occasionally hearing their conversations, Lin Mo was shocked. The treasures these people had obtained were too rich. it¡¯s not just the strongest test. There are also tests of different difficulty for people with different strength and combat power. Lin Mo sighed. The Dao seeking garden was truly mysterious. As expected of a creation of an ¡®Emperor¡¯. .. I don¡¯t see Holy maiden Xia you. But it makes sense, she should have left a month ago ¡­ Lin Mo muttered to himself as he walked around the battlefield. He wanted to find Xu Fei and Luo Haoyu. They should have been in the Dao seeking forbidden ground before. Now that he had been thrown out, he had disappeared without a trace. Soon, he found Xu Fei and Luo Haoyu. The two of them were in trouble. In a huge formation, a group of people were surrounding and attacking together. Lin Mo rushed over and killed a few powerful people, scaring them into fleeing in all directions. ¡°Lin Mo?¡± Luo Haoyu¡¯s surprised voice and Xu Fei¡¯s voice could be heard from within the formation. He was the one who had set up this formation. ¡°Elder Luo.¡± After the formation was removed, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Haoyu was safe and sound. ¡°Be careful, the ghost king and the others are nearby.¡± Xu Fei was very vigilant, worried that he would be ambushed. However, in this battlefield, a voice transmission quickly came, shocking everyone. It was the ghost king. He said that Lin Mo had taken all the spiritual herbs in the Dao seeking forbidden ground and had also obtained a great fortune. A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the battlefield instantly boiled over. At the same time, tiansha, spiritual array formation, Taotie, and Buddha transmitted their voices at the same time, saying that Lin Mo had obtained an unparalleled inheritance and that it was with him now. ¡°Are you looking for death?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold. He had not even caused trouble for them, and these guys had already made enemies for him. the Dao seeking forbidden ground is located in the core of the eastern continent. The inheritance within must be beyond imagination. These words continued to spread, regardless of whether they were true or false. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Moreover, they really saw a person enter the medicinal field. Although he could not see clearly, he could match Lin Mo¡¯s figure with the blurry figure. Furthermore, there would be no waves without wind. A few top experts had said that Lin Mo had obtained the inheritance. Perhaps the inheritance was really in Lin Mo¡¯s hands ¡­ In mid-air, Lin Mo expanded his God devouring body domain and enveloped Xu Fei and Luo Haoyu. A terrifying aura spread out. Lin Mo was at the ninth sky of the Nirvana realm, and his combat strength was so terrifying that no one dared to move. However, their eyes were still burning as they looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Hmph!¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly. He raised his hand and pointed his finger down. Sword Qi swept across and soared into the sky. With a ¡± PU ¡± sound, a cultivator¡¯s glabella was pierced through. He died instantly, and even his soul dissipated. This was a Nirvana stage 8-Sky Warrior, a rising star in the golden age. His combat strength was very strong, but he was instantly killed by Lin Mo. He was lying in a pool of blood, and the thick smell of blood woke everyone up. For a moment, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. That¡¯s Lin Mo! His combat strength is incomparably terrifying. He¡¯s already at the ninth heaven of the Nirvana realm. How can he fight against him? For example, the person just now had not concealed his killing intent towards Lin Mo, but Lin Mo had found him and killed him. ¡°Lin Mo, what do you mean by this? you¡¯ve gone too far. Do you think you can dominate the world? you¡¯re killing fellow Daoists without any regard for the others.¡± Someone coldly shouted. He hid in the dark and used a secret treasure to hide his aura. His voice was suddenly left and then right, making it impossible for people to find out his location. that¡¯s right. This fellow Daoist didn¡¯t do anything, but you killed him. Could it be that you¡¯re an evil cultivator? ¡± Another person said. With just a few words, the spearhead was pointed at Lin Mo. He was trying to frame him. Coupled with the treasure on Lin Mo¡¯s body, he would make the whole world his enemy. that¡¯s right. We can¡¯t be intimidated by him. He has offended the public. We can only reveal the inheritance to the public. that¡¯s right. The golden age is here. The inheritance belongs to everyone. We should give it up. Some people were instigating in the dark. Many people couldn¡¯t resist the temptation and started to be restless, causing this place to be very restless. Ever since the golden age began, the treasures that appeared in the eastern continent were not ordinary. Moreover, this Dao seeking forbidden ground was located in the core of the eastern continent, so it had extraordinary significance. Many people were breathing rapidly, and under the instigation of a few people in the dark, they were faintly showing signs of taking action. Seeing this, Lin Mo snorted and unsheathed the Daluo divine sword. Sword Qi surged as he glared at the back of the crowd. Just because others couldn¡¯t find the person who incited them in the dark, it didn¡¯t mean that he couldn¡¯t. Thunder and fire raged, and a sword light cut into the void, hitting a figure out. The man¡¯s arms had been cut off and blood was dripping from his glabella. His face was filled with panic and he wanted to escape. He didn¡¯t expect that he would still be found by Lin Mo after hiding so well. ¡°Secretly instigating and splashing dirty water on me, do you think you can get away?¡± With a ¡± PU ¡± sound, the man was killed. His body was split apart by the sword light, and blood was dripping. Chapter 552 - 552 Closed 552 Closed-door Cultivation to Ascend The Immortal Platform Closed-door cultivation to ascend the immortal platform This scene caused everyone to exclaim in shock. Lin Mo¡¯s attack was too Swift and fierce, and he had killed him with a single sword strike. If it was them, could they really do it? In mid-air, Lin Mo held the Daluo divine sword and slashed down. In the void, one figure after another was pulled out and killed. ¡°Hmph, if you want to make a move, you have to first consider whether you have the strength to do so.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly and looked at the space at the back. There was a teleportation formation. The ghost king and the others were there, ready to leave at any time. He didn¡¯t have the heart to chase after him. His spiritual array seed¡¯s understanding of arrays had reached the peak. With him being prepared, it would be too difficult to catch him. ¡°Ghost king, spiritual array seed, heaven demon, Taotie, Buddha, I¡¯ll remember the five of you. The next time I see you, I¡¯ll definitely kill you all.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s cold voice reverberated in the air. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared and he left the place with Xu Fei and Luo Haoyu. ¡°Lin Mo has obtained the inheritance of the Dao seeking forbidden ground and is about to enter seclusion to break through to immortal Foundation.¡± In the eastern land, countless people were discussing that even though Lin Mo was very strong, it was difficult for a ferocious Tiger to defeat a group of monkeys. Although the formation of the purple Moon Palace was very powerful, and he couldn¡¯t tell its level, strictly speaking, it was given to him by the Bai family to hide from the heavenly secrets. It wasn¡¯t a defensive formation, nor was it an offensive formation. Only when the grade was high enough would it have a certain level of defensive power. On this day, the purple Moon Palace suffered a terrifying attack. The purple spirit guards and the flame God Army moved out, causing a heated discussion. A newly established Holy Land had formed an Army of ten thousand, and all of them were at the Nirvana realm. With the support of the battle formation, the purple Moon Palace¡¯s formation shook, and Thunder rumbled in the sky as if it was going to fall. This place had once avoided natural disasters, and if the formation was broken, it was likely to lead to a natural disaster. Fortunately, half of the purple spirit guards and flame God Army had also broken through to the Nirvana stage, and their combat strength was strong. Lin Mo was furious. He came out of seclusion today and attacked with the Daluo divine sword. Although the Army was strong, they were instantly defeated and disbanded on the spot after Lin Mo took control of the purple spirit guards. The higher-ups of that Holy Land had all been killed by Lin Mo, and his iron-blooded methods had shocked everyone. This caused a huge commotion. Many people in the eastern land were shocked. Lin Mo had retaliated and showed the world the power of the purple Moon Palace. At the same time, the spiritual array seed that he was secretly controlling had been pulled out by Lin Mo, and a battle was about to break out. The battle lasted for three days. Lin Mo had destroyed all the spiritual array seed¡¯s arrangements during this time, and countless arrays had been broken. Lin Mo had originally planned to seclude himself in the purple Moon Palace, but he had never thought that someone would shake the formation of the purple Moon Palace and destroy it. Thus, he brazenly made his move and struck fear into the hearts of the world with his thunderous methods. I have the inheritance I got from the Dao seeking garden. If you want it, you can come to me. Lin Mo had ordered the violet spirit guards to return while he personally pursued the spiritual array seed. He used his strength to tell everyone that if they wanted to snatch the treasure, they needed to have the corresponding strength. The pursuit of the spiritual array seed continued for three days before it finally escaped using a teleportation array. No one had seen Lin Mo return to the purple Moon Palace. He had been in seclusion in the boundless mountains. ¡°Aunt, elder Luo, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be fine. Just protect the purple Moon Palace.¡± Lin Mo told damask and Luo Haoyu not to worry. In the current Eastern continent, the only person who could fight him was Holy maiden Xia you. He wanted to find a quiet place to go into seclusion and shift the attention of the world away from him. ¡°Oh right, organize an auction to sell this.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo took out a divine fruit from the tree of God. divine fruit of tribulation transcendence, heaven divine fruit. Spread the word and invite Tang Ling to the purple Moon Palace as a guest. Lin Mo explained everything. we have a good relationship with Saint burning valley. If we sell her a divine fruit, she won¡¯t ignore the purple Moon Palace. Lin Mo said. Then, he gave the spirit herbs he had picked in the Dao seeking garden to the beautiful silk flowers and told them to auction them off as soon as possible. After settling everything, Lin Mo left to roam the world. Occasionally, he would appear and tell the world that he was still outside and that if they wanted the Supreme treasure, they could come over. ¡°If these people are not eliminated, they will always be a disaster. I have to quickly break through ¡­¡± Lin Mo said softly. He had enough resources a long time ago, and he had accumulated enough. After breaking through to immortal-Foundation and killing the ghost king and the others, it was time for him to leave the eastern continent ¡­ Time passed very quickly, and the golden age had unknowingly arrived two years ago. The cultivators ¡®initial explosive growth had become a slow growth. Those who had their cultivation burst were former Nirvana stage powerhouses, and a small number of them were those who had risen in talent. However, this had nothing to do with Lin Mo. He was destined to leave this place. In a mountain range, there was a hidden formation. There were many runes inside, and an old man was sitting cross-legged in it. His aura was slowly growing. He was the spiritual array seed. He was also on the path to breaking through to immortal-Foundation, and he could feel that he was about to break through. If this news were to spread, the eastern land would be shocked. They all thought that there was no way to break through to immortal-Foundation, but they didn¡¯t know that these old monsters who had been stuck in this realm for thousands of years were already on the verge of breaking through ¡­ And it was in this hidden array that a gloomy voice suddenly came out, sounding extremely mournful. ¡°Spiritual array seed, are we really going to let Lin Mo go into seclusion and break through?¡± This was the ghost king¡¯s voice. The few of them were now on the same side, because Lin Mo and Holy maiden Xia you had turned from enemies to friends. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to break through the God Devourer body. We can get there first,¡± The spiritual array seed said in a deep voice. In front of him, a jade talisman was floating, and the ghost king¡¯s voice came from it. the purple Moon Palace is holding an auction. They¡¯re selling many spiritual herbs and divine tribulation-passing fruits. Hearing this, the spiritual array seed was overjoyed and couldn¡¯t hide the smile on its face. this further proves that Lin Mo didn¡¯t prepare enough resources, so he couldn¡¯t break through the God Devourer body. He laughed loudly and told the ghost king to hurry up and cultivate. ¡°The eastern continent will be under our control ¡­¡± Lin Mo, the ghost king, the spiritual array seed, and the others all went into seclusion. Saintess Xia you was in seclusion in the divine Secrets sacred land, sealing off the mountain gates. No one knew about her. Among the geniuses in the eastern continent, only Tang Ling was at the ninth firmament of the Nirvana realm. She was now a guest at the Ziyue Palace, waiting for the auction to start. At the same time, Lin Mo found a mountain stream in the eastern Peninsula mountains. He set up a formation, hid there, and began to cultivate in seclusion. His true body entered the six paths of reincarnation and the flow of time inside was different from the outside world. He just sat there cross-legged and did not cultivate. He just sat there and let time pass ¡­ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a rank 5 earth realm spirit herb, flying leaves. [ successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 7 Earth Class elixir, fiery red flower ] After an unknown period of time, the system¡¯s voice appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The auction had started, which meant that Tang Ling was in the purple Moon Palace and there was no problem with her safety. His body started to burn, and balls of flames spread. They contained the Dao laws of heaven and earth and burned Lin Mo¡¯s true body. To ascend to immortality, one must first refine one¡¯s true self. The flames of the Dao not only burned the body, but also the soul. At this time, the outside world was not peaceful. Everyone was looking for Lin Mo¡¯s traces and wanted to seize his opportunities ¡­ Chapter 553 - 553 The Final Breakthrough 553 The Final Breakthrough ¡°Everyone, the reward has been increased again. Whoever can provide Lin Mo with the location of his closed-door cultivation will be given a rank 9 Earth Class spirit herb.¡± ¡°If you want a martial art, any attribute, rank 6 Earth Class.¡± All over the eastern continent, rewards had been issued. Anyone who could provide information would be rewarded. ¡°What¡¯s going on? what¡¯s wrong with the ghost king and the others? they¡¯re searching all over the world. Aren¡¯t they afraid that the purple Moon Palace will send troops to attack them?¡± I know about this. The purple Moon Palace auctioned off the spirit herbs from the Dao seeking forbidden area some time ago. Most of them were bought by Tang Ling at a price of more than 10 billion mid-grade spirit stones. ¡°I haven¡¯t given this sum of spirit stones to Lin Mo yet.¡± People discussed, and someone immediately raised a question, ¡± it¡¯s one thing that he didn¡¯t deliver it. What does that have to do with chasing after Lin Mo? ¡± ¡°Are you stupid? doesn¡¯t this mean that Lin Mo doesn¡¯t have enough resources to break through to immortal Foundation? the ghost king and the others are about to break through, so they naturally won¡¯t allow Lin Mo to do so.¡± Notices were posted everywhere, offering rewards for Lin Mo¡¯s traces. They even announced that the ghost king and the others would take in anyone who could disrupt Lin Mo¡¯s closed-door cultivation and cause him to go berserk. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed. In a mountain stream, Lin Mo was in seclusion. At this time, he was being burned by the flames of the great Dao, and his body had long dried up. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was still a trace of vitality left in his body, some people would even think that he was dead, killed by the flames of the great path. It was extremely difficult for the God Devourer body to break through, and Lin Mo had chosen the most dangerous way to do so. If he let the flames of the great path build his Foundation, he would be burned if he was not careful. The might of the heavens was inviolable. Lin Mo¡¯s actions were a test of life and death. If he wanted to forge a Supreme Foundation, he would have to face the most dangerous trials. The two months in the outside world was like a thousand years to the six paths of reincarnation. Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness was in a state of chaos. It was a little blurry and he could fall into darkness at any moment. This was a test of life and death for Lin Mo, but he had no way out. He needed to consume a lot of spiritual energy to activate the flames of the great path. It would be too much for him to stop cultivating ¡­ He was unwilling to stop his cultivation. He would either be burned to death by the flames of the great path and turn into ashes, leaving nothing behind. have the spirit herbs and spirit stones been exhausted ¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s eyes dimmed as he struggled in the flames. The spirit stones that had piled up around him had all disappeared. Even though the six paths of reincarnation scroll had sufficient spirit Qi to support Lin Mo¡¯s breakthrough ¡­ However, that would be too slow, so he refined the spirit stone and increased the power of the flame. This also made the flames of the great path even more terrifying. He was going through the most terrible tribulation and was reborn in the flames. But now, there was a time when manpower was exhausted. He had already lost count of how many times he had recuperated. He was purely relying on the spirit medicine that he had received from the auction to support his injuries. And now, not only had he used up all his spirit stones, but he had also used up most of his spirit herbs. In a daze, Lin Mo felt that his strength had become very strong, as if he could shatter the void with a raise of his hand. The light of dawn came from the front, and the space between his brows emitted a brilliant light. Faintly, his immortal Foundation condensed as his soul slowly rose up, stepping onto it. ¡°We¡¯re about to succeed. It¡¯ll be fine as long as we persevere. little longer ¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. He was only a step away from immortal-Foundation. His consciousness gradually weakened, and the immortal Foundation on his forehead began to emit immortal light. Suddenly, Lin Mo came to his senses. He quickly exited his cultivation state and extinguished the flames of the great path. Divine chains of order had already appeared in the divine flames, trying to lock him up. This gave him a huge scare. This was indeed a sign of breaking through to immortal-Foundation, but it was also extremely dangerous. Being bound by the divine chains of order, the divine fire of the great Dao was not something he could extinguish on his own. However, he did not have any spirit herbs at the moment. If he continued to persist, he would die completely if the beautiful silk Beauty outside did not hold an auction in time. ¡°That was close ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and sat cross-legged in the air. His body had been burned to the point where his bones were broken and his life aura was weak. However, he didn¡¯t have any spiritual medicine, so he could only absorb the spiritual energy in the world to slowly recover. After healing his injuries, Lin Mo was not in a hurry to break through. Instead, he began to meditate and comprehend the Dao. Occasionally, he would sense divine chains of order appearing around him, but they were all suppressed by him and did not ignite the divine fire of the great path. wait patiently. I¡¯ll go into seclusion after the divine tribulation-transcending fruit is auctioned off. Lin Mo was extremely clear-headed and would not be tempted by the feeling of a breakthrough. He would not give up until he was fully prepared. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 4 earth realm elixir, revival grass. [ successfully triggered 10000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining the grass of Nirvana of immortality, rank 8 earth grade. Lin Mo did not know how long he had been waiting, but the system¡¯s voice rang in his ear, reminding him that the auction was in progress. The return-profit treasure from the auction was also a sacred healing medicine, which made him very satisfied. ¡°Has it started? I wonder how long it¡¯ll last this time?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as he waited patiently. The system¡¯s voice continued to ring. At the same time, in the purple Moon Palace, after Xu Fei¡¯s construction, the purple Moon Palace was equipped with many formations. Although it was only at the ninth level of the spirit stage, the ghost king and the others did not dare to invade. congratulations, miss Tang Ling, for winning the crossing disaster fruit for three hundred thousand. On the stage, damask hosted the auction and announced the results. I¡¯m really envious. It¡¯s already been three months, and there¡¯s an auction every seven days. I didn¡¯t expect there to be ¡­ that¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t forget that the divine tribulation-transcending fruit hasn¡¯t been auctioned yet. The finale of this auction is this disaster-transcending fruit. As the crowd discussed, the auction started to disperse and the crowd left one after another. In the backstage, Tang Ling was wearing a red dress. She looked at the red fruit in her hand with joy and satisfaction. elder damask, the foundation of your Purple Moon Palace is as strong as that of Saint burning valley ¡­ Tang Ling sighed. At least, the crossing disaster fruit only existed in the ancient times in the Saint burning valley ¡­ how can it compare to the Saint burning valley? half of the auctions in the past three months have been won by you ¡­ Damask smiled. This was a large sum of spirit stones. According to Lin Mo¡¯s instructions, he had armed the three armies. Now, the purple spirit guards and the flame God Army had all broken through to the Nirvana stage, and their fighting spirit was terrifying. Even the red armored Army had become stronger, with a few hundred of them breaking through to the Nirvana stage ¡­ however, according to our agreement, the next auction will be the divine tribulation passing fruit. I¡¯ll leave after I bid for it, and Lin Mo hasn¡¯t returned yet ¡­ Tang Ling¡¯s smile disappeared. She had been in the purple Moon Palace for three months. The eastern continent¡¯s experts knew that there was a treasure here, but they didn¡¯t dare to invade. However, once she left, with the spiritual array seed, the purple Moon Palace¡¯s array would not be able to stop the enemy. Also, during this period of time, the ghost king and the others had disappeared without a trace. He didn¡¯t know if they had broken through to immortal-Foundation ¡­ ¡°Miss Tang Ling, you can just follow the rules ¡­¡± congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the rank 9 earth grade disaster crossing fruit. [ successfully triggered 9000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining a heaven-grade rank 1 all-spirit fruit. The system¡¯s voice in his mind ended, and Lin Mo¡¯s collection increased again. However, the divine tribulation-transcending fruit was still not up for auction. it¡¯s almost time. The crossing calamity fruit has been auctioned. The next auction should be the divine tribulation crossing fruit ¡­ Chapter 554 - 554 Immortal 554 Immortal-Foundation Heavenly Tribulation After calculating the time, Lin Mo began to cultivate. His Dao law appeared and triggered the great Dao flames to burn again. Just like that, Lin Mo once again attempted to break through to the immortal-Foundation realm. The immortal light between his brows became even brighter. Perhaps it was because this was the final juncture of breaking through to immortal-Foundation, the flames were abnormally hot. In just a few days, he was already severely injured. He only recovered after consuming a leaf from the grass of Nirvana immortality. ¡°Continue.¡± After his injuries were healed, Lin Mo continued to break through. The flames were getting stronger and stronger. Lin Mo¡¯s soul gradually stabilized at the ancient immortal-foundation level. At this moment, he could even sense how powerful immortal-Foundation was. This wasn¡¯t something a Nirvana stage practitioner could fight against. With a single thought, he could determine the life and death of his opponent ¡­ ¡°Cough, cough ¡­¡± However, Lin Mo¡¯s breakthrough was destined to not be so simple. His God Devourer body released a suction force that continuously devoured the energy around him. Every time he wanted to advance to the next realm, the God Devourer body would have this kind of strange movement. It would devour madly and cause damage to Lin Mo¡¯s body at the same time. This was not much weaker than the divine fire of the great path, and the injuries it caused were even greater. His vitality was rapidly flowing away. However, Lin Mo still had a lot of spirit herbs. After refining them, he would provide them for the God devouring body to devour. This became a stalemate. As time passed, the spirit herbs that Lin Mo had earned from the auction were also quickly consumed. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning ¡­ ] Fortunately, Lin Mo¡¯s timing was good. The last auction had begun, and the God Devourer body was slowly calming down. The damage it had caused to Lin Mo was very serious. However, when some of his meridians were repaired, Lin Mo realized that his physical body had become stronger again. His meridians were tougher and could contain more spiritual energy. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s dantian was completely shattered ¡­ The six paths of reincarnation scroll¡¯s space was unstable and the spiritual energy within it surged towards Lin Mo. This time, it did not flow into his dantian, but the immortal Foundation between his brows. Lin Mo¡¯s soul condensed and absorbed all the spiritual energy. the dantian is shattered, and the spiritual energy is attached to the pillar. This is the rising Dragon ¡­ As he mumbled to himself, Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes. His body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a terrifying aura spread. ¡°Immortal Ascension platform!¡± After being bathed in the flames of the great path for so long, he only felt that it was a kind of enjoyment. The flames burned, but they couldn¡¯t hurt him in the slightest. It was as if he was living in peace with the great Dao and couldn¡¯t be hurt. [ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a rank three heaven-grade, one-hundred-year-old divine tribulation-transcending fruit. ] [ successfully triggered 10000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 6 heaven class thousand-year divine tribulation-transcending fruit ] The system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind. Lin Mo had no time to care about it as he was already enveloped by the flames of the great path and bathed in them. At the same time, outside the purple Moon Palace¡¯s sect-protecting array. As soon as the auction ended, damask sighed. All the spirit herbs given by Lin Mo had been auctioned off. The last divine fruit had been won, so it was time for Tang Ling to leave. ¡°. ¡®m sorry, but I can¡¯t waste any more time ¡­¡± Tang Ling said apologetically. Her current realm was very stable even among the ninth heaven of the Nirvana realm. She should continue to accumulate experience and use the divine tribulation-transcending fruits to temper herself. Only then would she possess the qualifications to break through to immortal-Foundation. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I think Lin Mo will be out of seclusion soon. It¡¯s fine.¡± Damask laughed. Even so, there was still no news of Lin Mo after three months. Tang Ling left with the divine fruit. Not surprisingly, wherever she went, there would be corpses. Countless living beings wanted to fight for the divine tribulation passing fruit, but they were all killed. Her combat strength was terrifying. Lin Mo was in seclusion, Xia you was not coming out, and even the ghost king and the others were in seclusion. No one in the world could fight Tang Ling and was not her opponent. In the end, Tang Ling also went into seclusion. The eastern continent fell into a short period of silence, but everyone knew that this was only the prelude to the storm. Another two months passed. On this day, many people were outside the Ziyue Palace, setting up formations. This formation was very strange, and it alarmed the damask. Even Xu Fei, who was in seclusion, was awakened. ¡°Oh no, these formation flags are from the spiritual array seed.¡± Xu Fei could tell with a single glance that the situation was bad. What was the meaning of the spiritual array seed¡¯s subordinates attacking at this time? ¡°Boom ¡­¡± At the same time, the wind and clouds in the world surged. Thunderclouds rolled in the sky and covered a mountain range. ¡°Heavenly Tribulation?¡± Damask looked at the mountain range with a grave expression. It was far away from the purple Moon Palace, but she could see it clearly. Not only her, but the entire eastern land could see a bright light shooting up into the sky from the mountains. It seemed to be a human figure shuttling through the heavenly Tribulation. Heavenly lightning struck his body from time to time, but it was dispersed by the invisible force that permeated his body. Heavenly Tribulation, the heavenly Tribulation of the immortal-Foundation realm ¡­ The people of the eastern continent were all shocked. It has been almost half a year, was there finally someone who broke through to immortal Foundation? Who was that? Lin Mo, Holy maiden Xia you, or the ghost king? No one could see the light clearly, nor could they understand the technique it was using. It was the power of an immortal-Foundation that controlled Dao laws. It had no specific attribute. it¡¯s too powerful. Who¡¯s in seclusion in that place? ¡± Everyone was curious. Since the ancient era, was there finally an immortal-Foundation expert appearing in the eastern continent? I don¡¯t know, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s saintess Xia you. She¡¯s in seclusion in the divine Secrets sacred land. People guessed that it was most likely Lin Mo, as he had the God Devourer body and shocking talent. not necessarily. Didn¡¯t they say that Lin Mo didn¡¯t have enough resources? the purple Moon Palace didn¡¯t give out any of the spirit stones they auctioned in the past six months. Some rejected the idea and thought that it was most likely tiansha, because her actions back then were too shocking. Some people thought that the Taotie had broken through. After all, it was an ancient beast. In ancient times, this kind of beast was second only to divine beasts. ¡°Stop fighting, it¡¯s our hidden ghost sect¡¯s sect master. From today onwards, the hidden ghost sect will be rebuilt and will rule the eastern continent. All the races will have to submit to him.¡± As soon as the heavenly Tribulation appeared, a discordant voice rang out. A group of people had appeared in the eastern continent, and they were extremely arrogant. They held array flags and plundered from all forces, stealing spiritual stones and finally providing them to the person who was going through the Tribulation in the mountain. ¡°It¡¯s the ghost king who broke through.¡± Everyone was shocked. The person in the mountain range was the ghost king. However, wasn¡¯t he the only one in the hidden ghost sect? why was there another disciple? Purple Moon Palace, Divine Secrets Holy Land, quickly open your sects and pay the spiritual stones. Otherwise, when the ghost king comes in person, it will be the day of your destruction. The people of the hidden ghost sect shouted as they set up a formation to attack the two forces. ¡°It¡¯s hidden so deeply ¡­¡± Damask gritted her teeth and controlled the purple spirit guards to fight. However, the opponent¡¯s formation had surprised her. That was because it was an earth level formation. They had formation disks and formation flags, and even the purple spirit guards were suppressed. At the critical moment, Luo Haoyu controlled the flame God Army to fight and help Miluo out of the situation. ¡°This is an earth grade array. Could it be that the spiritual array seed has also broken through?¡± Everyone was shocked. As everyone knew, spiritual arrays and spiritual medicine were strictly ranked and difficult to cross. If one wanted to concoct earth grade spirit herbs or set up earth grade formations, one would need the power of an immortal Foundation. Chapter 555 - 555 Raising the Religion and Ascending 555 Raising the Religion and Ascending Raising the religion and ascending However, the hidden ghost sect¡¯s people were definitely using an earth grade spiritual array. Moreover, the array disk was in perfect condition and was recently made. ¡°Guys, look! The immortal-Foundation Heavenly Tribulation has been shattered!¡± Someone cried out in alarm. In the sky, that beam of light exploded with a super strong power, scattering the heavenly Tribulation. ¡°How terrifying, is this an immortal-Foundation expert?¡± People exclaimed. according to what Bai Luo said, the immortal Foundation is divided into nine steps. Those who have just ascended the immortal Foundation are on the first step and can be called Almighty ¡­ Beautiful silk mumbled. The first to break through to immortal-Foundation was the ghost king. Would the purple Moon Palace be safe from now on? ¡°I¡¯ve already ascended to immortal-Foundation, do you all still want to resist?¡± When the feminine voice was heard, beautiful silk and the others looked up and saw that the ghost king had already arrived in front of them. His body was surrounded by this immortal Qi, and a strange aura filled the air. Even though she had full control of the purple spirit Guard¡¯s fighting spirit, damask still found it difficult to resist the aura. The ghost king had not even taken the initiative to attack her, and she was already unable to withstand his aura ¡­ ¡°What a fascinating power. The old me¡¯s many years of planning have not been in vain ¡­¡± He mumbled to himself in an intoxicated manner. He felt the power in his body that was as deep as the ocean. He felt that he could easily crush all the living creatures nearby ¡­ ¡°En, you¡¯re quite pretty. This King has just ascended to immortality and plans to establish an Immortal Empire. I still lack a concubine. Are you willing?¡± The ghost king looked at the beautiful silk and greedily scanned her stunning face. ¡°Lord ghost king, bad news ¡­¡± However, just as the ghost king was admiring the beautiful damask¡¯s face, a figure dressed in night clothes anxiously swept over from a distance. ¡°Pfft ¡­¡± He was still panicking, but in the next second, he vomited blood and knelt on the ground, his face red. this King is admiring a beauty. You dare to disturb me? are you looking for death? ¡± The ghost king¡¯s expression was unhappy. He was still indulging in the joy of victory, but this subordinate of his was so ignorant. wait, didn¡¯t you receive orders to attack the divine Secrets Holy Land? what, did Xia you also break through? ¡± Suddenly, he thought of something. Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, his expression finally changed. no, Lord ghost king, we¡¯ve already taken down the divine Secrets Holy Land ¡­ The man coughed and said respectfully. As soon as he said that, countless people around him gasped. The divine Secrets Holy Land, which had stood since ancient times, had finally fallen today ¡­ For a moment, some people sighed with emotion. Holy maiden Xia you had outstanding talent, but she was a step too slow in her breakthrough ¡­ ¡°Then why are you panicking?¡± The ghost king¡¯s expression was unhappy. Lord ghost king, the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s protective array is fake. There¡¯s no one inside. The entire Holy Land seems to have evaporated from the world. That person was still nervous. The order he had received was to capture Xia you alive, but after entering the Holy Land, he couldn¡¯t find a single person. ¡°No one?¡± Not only was the ghost king stunned, but the rest of the people were also stunned. Before that person could say anything, the ghost king had already placed a hand on his shoulder and followed this King. The ghost king waved his hand, and a terrifying pressure spread out, instantly suppressing the fighting spirit of the violet spirit guards and the flame God Army. The two armies were forcefully taken away. As if they had teleported, they arrived at the divine Secrets Holy Land¡¯s territory in a few minutes. ¡°Can we really resist this power?¡± Damask was bitter. She had thought that she could still fight the ghost king with the help of the purple spirit guards, but now it seemed that it was just wishful thinking ¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, you still haven¡¯t made. breakthrough? aunty can¡¯t hold on any longer ¡­. She prayed in her heart, hoping that Lin Mo would break through as soon as possible. She also prayed that he would not be found by the ghost king ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a teleportation formation ¡­¡± The ghost king was able to sense a strong spatial fluctuation in this place. ¡°Holy maiden Xia you has escaped?¡± Everyone was shocked and felt pity for him. An immortal-Foundation expert could travel ten thousand miles with a single step, how could he escape? ¡°This formation is at least heaven grade ¡­¡± However, the ghost king¡¯s words made everyone dumbfounded. They had just seen an earth grade spiritual array, and now there was a so-called heaven grade array? ¡°Ghost king, Are you sure?¡± Someone gathered his courage and asked. Only spiritual array seed for breaking through to immortal-Foundation could be used to set up earth grade spiritual arrays. How did Holy maiden Xia you set this up? the divine Secrets Holy Land is indeed a Holy Land with an ancient heritage. Holy maiden Xia you broke through to immortal-Foundation at least half a year ago. She activated the array and led the entire Divine Secrets Holy Land to ascend ¡­ The ghost king sighed after watching for a while. He already had a plan in mind. Even if he dominated the eastern continent, he would not touch the Saint burning valley, which was also an ancient force. Who knew if the ancestors of these forces had left behind any shocking arrays ¡­ ¡°Raising the sect ¡­ Ascension.¡± The crowd swallowed their saliva. Holy maiden Xia you had already broken through and left with her people? But where could he go? other continents? When they thought of this, they were filled with envy. Only immortal-foundation experts could traverse the void and head to the other continents. He didn¡¯t expect the divine Secrets Holy Land to be teleported away under the leadership of saintess Xia you. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that a peerless beauty has left just like that ¡­¡± The ghost king sighed. He had broken through too late. but it¡¯s fine. I heard that the girl named Jiang xiyue is not bad either. I¡¯ll take her in. He stood in the air and beckoned the damask to come over. there seems to be another person called Bai Luo, right? where are they? also, where is Lin Mo¡¯s closed-door cultivation? ¡± This scene caused the hearts of the spectators to clench. A Nirvana stage cultivator couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow from an immortal-Foundation expert. At the same time, everyone felt pity for Lin Mo. He was doomed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an immortal? you can search every inch of the eastern continent.¡± Beautiful silk sneered. The eastern continent was so vast that even Immortals couldn¡¯t cover the entire continent with their spiritual sense, much less search for a person. ¡°Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯ve become this Prince¡¯s concubine, you can become arrogant.¡± The ghost king¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Uh ¡­¡± In an instant, beautiful silk felt the surrounding space, Dao laws, and spiritual energy repelling her. In the end, even the life force in her body was fluctuating, wanting to leave. He was like a drowning man who was struggling to survive, but was strangled by his throat ¡­ ¡°Pfft ¡­¡± Damask was confined in a small space. She struggled with great difficulty and whispered to the ghost king. ¡°Are you looking for death?¡± The ghost king¡¯s expression was gloomy. The damask¡¯s struggling body instantly froze as it was squeezed by the space. ¡®Lin Mo will also break through ¡­ When that time comes ¡­ ¡®Take you ¡­ My life!¡± Damask¡¯s entire body was being squeezed, and she opened her mouth with difficulty. In her dantian, she forcefully circulated her spirit Qi, causing her meridians to expand. A terrifying power was brewing in his dantian and was about to explode. what a joke. I¡¯m here, and your life is in my hands. If I want you to live, you live. If I want you to die, you die. The ghost king flicked his hand, and in an instant, the spiritual energy in damask¡¯s body was controlled and completely calmed down. No matter how she tried to mobilize it, it was to no avail. ¡°Immortal Foundation, how terrifying is it ¡­¡± People trembled. Was the eastern Peninsula really going to be controlled? Would Lin Mo, who was in seclusion, be able to safely break through the search of such experts? logo This is the end of Part One, and Chapter 556 - 556 Forcefully Exiting Seclusion 556 Forcefully Exiting Seclusion Forcefully exiting seclusion Within the six paths of reincarnation, Lin Mo¡¯s soul stepped onto his immortal Foundation. However, he was trembling as he felt a sharp pain in his heart. ¡°What¡¯s going on? why do I suddenly feel my heart palpitate? what¡¯s wrong?¡± He mumbled. Just a moment ago, his mind was trembling as if something terrifying was about to happen. ¡°After breaking through to immortal-Foundation, my senses have become even stronger. There are now many unfathomable powers in my body.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The feeling he had just felt was from this power. It was as if he was going to take something important. ¡°It seems so ¡­ No!¡± At this moment, Lin Mo started to panic. He didn¡¯t expect an immortal-Foundation expert to feel this way. He had already guessed that the feeling he had just now was that something had happened to the purple Moon Palace ¡­ ¡°Hurry up ¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely anxious. He had almost stabilized himself in this realm. However, there was still a little bit left. The divine fire of the great path had not been extinguished. It was still burning and engraving the Dao laws into his body. ¡°Ah, I almost forgot that this King also knows how to search souls ¡­¡± In the divine secret Holy Land, the ghost king suddenly laughed. He was an evil cultivator, so he naturally knew how to use evil techniques like soul-searching. ¡°Beauty, don¡¯t worry. This King can¡¯t bear to search your soul.¡± The ghost king chuckled and reached out to stroke damask¡¯s pale face. Damask couldn¡¯t care less about the chill in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that she had been imprisoned again. In the next moment, Luo Haoyu was also imprisoned and arrived in front of the ghost king. despair. Everything is futile in the face of the huge gap in strength ¡­ The ghost king sneered. A black light surged in his hand and he pointed it between Luo Haoyu¡¯s eyebrows. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± The pain of soul searching was immense. Luo Haoyu was determined, but he still could not bear it and screamed. The ghost king closed his eyes and read Luo Haoyu¡¯s memories. He wanted to know where Lin Mo, Bai Luo, and Jiang xiyue had gone into seclusion. However, as the soul-searching continued, his brows gradually furrowed and his expression became unsightly. He had read Luo Haoyu¡¯s memory and found out about Bai Luo¡¯s background. ¡°It is actually so terrifying ¡­¡± The ghost king felt a lingering fear. He was very worried now. If Bai Luo brought his family over, would he still have a way out? no, they shouldn¡¯t be coming. Besides, they won¡¯t find out that I¡¯ve destroyed the purple Moon Palace in a short time ¡­ The ghost king mumbled to himself as his finger left Luo Haoyu¡¯s forehead. ¡°Gather the Army and gather at the burying Soul Mountain range.¡± After leaving Luo Haoyu behind, he sealed the two armies. Damask¡¯s cultivation base was also sealed and she was captured by the hidden ghost sect. As for Luo Haoyu, after his soul was forcefully searched, his cultivation base began to dissipate. His soul was unstable and he had fallen into a coma. Everyone¡¯s expression turned serious. Had Lin Mo¡¯s seclusion place been found? would he be able to escape this calamity? The ghost king¡¯s figure disappeared, and he rushed over there first. &Nbsp; his speed was very fast, and the divine Secrets sacred land was not too far from the burying Soul Mountain range, so he arrived in just a few minutes. As soon as he arrived, he released his spiritual sense to search for Lin Mo. In Luo Haoyu¡¯s memories, Lin Mo was in the burying Soul Mountain range, but he did not know the exact location. ¡°Cough ¡­¡± In the six paths of reincarnation, Lin Mo coughed violently. The same feeling came back again. something has happened. Something must have happened. I have to come out of seclusion. I can¡¯t wait any longer ¡­ Lin Mo was very worried. Had another person who was related to him been killed? was he still alive? ¡°Who is it this time? aunty, elder Luo, or Yan Rong?¡± The divine fire of the great path was forcibly extinguished by Lin Mo, but he also suffered a backlash, and many burns appeared on his body. This act also caused his immortal Foundation to become unstable, almost causing him to fall from this cultivation level. The burying Soul Mountain range was filled with people. Many of them were from the hidden ghost sect, and they were all secretly trained by the ghost king. There were still many onlookers on the outside, wanting to see Lin Mo¡¯s ending. ¡°It¡¯s over. With so many people searching for him, Lin Mo is definitely done for.¡± Someone sighed. I have a question. The ghost king is setting up a formation now, and he¡¯s very skilled at it. But he shouldn¡¯t be proficient in this, right? ¡± Someone questioned. This was a problem that had been noticed long ago. If it was a spiritual array seed, they wouldn¡¯t have any doubts. After all, the latter was the king of arrays. At the bottom of the burying Soul Mountain range, Lin Mo opened his eyes. The six paths of reincarnation scroll had disappeared and all the spirit Qi within it had been depleted. Even though he was severely injured, he could still sense what was happening outside the burying Soul Mountain range. When he saw everything clearly, he attacked in anger. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s spirit devouring technique was activated involuntarily, and the black hole enveloped the entire burying Soul Mountain range with terrifying power. The spiritual energy of the people inside was rapidly depleting, and it was almost completely exhausted in the blink of an eye. The ground exploded, and Lin Mo¡¯s figure flew out from below. His body was covered in blood and burn marks. His eyes were bright and filled with endless anger. His killing intent spread, and it was stronger than ever before. ¡°You ¡­¡± The ghost king was the first to sense it and was extremely shocked. He could sense Lin Mo¡¯s aura. He was already at the immortal-foundation level. Although he was heavily injured, he was still very terrifying. ¡°Kill!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s Black hair fluttered in the wind, and killing intent spread in his eyes as he attacked the ghost king. ¡°He broke through! Lin Mo broke through to immortal-Foundation as well!¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the heavenly Tribulation? why doesn¡¯t he have a Heavenly Tribulation?¡± Some people were puzzled, not understanding why there was no Heavenly Tribulation for Lin Mo¡¯s immortal-Foundation breakthrough. Very quickly, they discovered the problem. Lin Mo¡¯s immortal Foundation was unstable and there was a risk of it falling at any time. he came out of seclusion by force. His immortal Foundation was unstable, so the heavens thought that he had failed and disdained to send down heavenly punishment ¡­ ¡°If you don¡¯t have a complete immortal-Foundation, then die.¡± The ghost king howled, his heart screaming for the will of the heavens. Although he still had some fear for Lin Mo, it had already faded. However, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were like a fire that could see through everything. With a loud roar, the Daluo divine sword burst with sword light, and the heaven-splitting sword Qi formed an extremely bright sword light. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± In the burying Soul Mountain range, the people of the hidden ghost sect were screaming in pain. ¡°BOOM!¡± The sword light was white as if it was a peerless immortal sword. The ghost king opened his mouth and coughed out blood. He couldn¡¯t block this attack. He held a Silver Dagger in his hand, and his eyes were cold. He couldn¡¯t care less as the poison spread. Runes flickered as he slashed at Lin Mo. At the same time, a ghostly figure appeared behind the ghost king. It was also holding a Black Dagger. Facing Lin Mo, it used its final trump card. ¡°Qiang!¡± The Daluo divine sword was tainted with immortal light. Lin Mo only managed to launch one attack against the ghost king¡¯s attack. The sword radiance surged and shattered the black shadow. The silver Dagger could not bear the heavy load and was cut in half by the Daluo divine sword. Lin Mo used his fingers as a sword and raised them high. Celestial light spread over them before he suddenly slashed down. Lin Mo¡¯s palm was like an immortal sword, and in an instant, the ghost king¡¯s body was chopped into pieces. However, in the next moment, the ghost king¡¯s broken body reassembled. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back. Another attack came from the void. An earth rank spiritual array had been set up. It blocked Lin Mo¡¯s pursuit, but Lin Mo took advantage of the situation and slashed it to pieces. The next moment, Lin Mo raised his hand and grabbed forward. Chapter 557 - 557 The Might of Lin Mo 557 The Might of Lin Mo The might of Lin Mo The exchange of blows between the two happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a Flint. The speed was so fast that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. When the people finally reacted, they were shocked to find out. Lin Mo had already rescued the purple spirit guards and the flame God Army, and the damask seal had been released. At this time, he was looking at the unconscious Luo Haoyu with a dark expression. ¡°Elder Luo¡¯s soul was searched, and his soul is severely damaged.¡± Damask¡¯s eyes were red, and tears had unknowingly flowed down her face. After experiencing the near-death experience, she was deeply touched. Now that she had personally witnessed the might of an immortal-Foundation expert, she felt extremely helpless in her heart. In the burying Soul Mountain range, the members of the hidden ghost sect had all died. The black hole formed by the God devouring body was extremely terrifying. Apart from the two armies, the rest of the cultivators were completely devoid of spiritual energy, and the people of the hidden ghost sect were even more lifeless. If Lin Mo had not shown mercy to them, the onlookers would have died as well ¡­ The ghost king¡¯s expression turned ugly. Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was too strong, and he was no match for him. Even though Lin Mo¡¯s body was injured, his immortal Foundation was unstable, and he could fall at any time, he still had the God devouring body. He was a peerless genius, and there were very few people who could match him. An immortal-Foundation God devouring physique was definitely a god-like existence in the eastern continent. Just that move alone would shock the entire Eastern continent. The ghost king wanted to escape, but Lin Mo was even faster. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of it. He didn¡¯t even use the kun Peng wings, but his speed was already extremely fast, beyond imagination. ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡± stop! Lin Mo shouted coldly and blocked the ghost king¡¯s path. ¡°Then let¡¯s fight.¡± The ghost king howled. He was also an immortal-Foundation expert. He did his best, using all his techniques. Dao laws appeared on his body as Dao flames gushed forth. Dao fire was a technique used by immortal-foundation experts. It was the product of immortal-Foundation extracting the Dao laws from one¡¯s body. Once it was ignited, it would erupt with Supreme might. The ghost king was using all his strength. As long as he could delay for a while, he would be saved. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. He used his spiritual sense to sense other places and discovered three other powerful auras. They were also immortal-foundation experts. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo was attacked by a Taotie. Countless runes bloomed, and Dao flames spread. The power of his immortal Foundation was unstoppable. In addition, there were three other figures with listless eyes and flames of the way circling around their bodies. They charged toward Lin Mo. The temperature of the Dao fire was so high that some of the spectators couldn¡¯t hold on. Some even burst into flames, showing how terrifying it was. Sorcery! They¡¯re being controlled ¡­ Lin Mo recalled the methods of the ghost king. He was an evil cultivator who could devour people¡¯s souls and control their bodies. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s attack was blocked. The Taotie, Buddha, heaven demon, and spiritual array seed joined forces and attacked with Dao fire. They were not afraid of death. They protected the ghost king and gave him time to escape. ¡°Hmph!¡± However, with Lin Mo¡¯s attacks, the four puppets could not withstand it at all and were quickly broken through. His expression was cold and filled with killing intent as he chased after the ghost king. ¡°How is that possible?¡± The ghost king¡¯s expression changed. These were four puppets that were at the same cultivation level as Lin Mo. Furthermore, their souls were still there, and they were only under his control. Their battle awareness was very strong. ¡°Block it!¡± He shouted and took out a bronze mirror to reflect himself. A beam of light appeared and then shone on the four Buddhas. In the next moment, the six-meter golden body appeared. Taotie returned to his original form, and dark red mist appeared around Tian Sha. ¡°Boom, boom, boom.¡± A terrifying killing array was formed in an instant. The eye of the array was as bright as a small sun, emitting a divine light. ¡°BOOM!¡± To everyone¡¯s shock, Lin Mo did not use any martial arts against the attacks of the Four Masters. He even used the pure power of his body to resist it. He slapped it toward the ghost king with unstoppable divine might. The ghost king was shocked. He attacked as well. The Dao fire spread out again, and he used all his strength to meet Lin Mo. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s palm shattered the Golden body, and the Taotie was also forced back. The dark red mist and the spiritual array seed¡¯s formation only lasted for a few seconds. Everyone¡¯s eyes were wide open as they stared at the battlefield. This scene was too shocking. What kind of physical strength did Lin Mo have? it was too terrifying. After breaking the ghost king¡¯s desperate attack, he finally grabbed the ghost king¡¯s arm and squeezed it hard. The sound of bones cracking could be heard. What a terrifying body. The ghost king¡¯s desperate attack was broken by Lin Mo¡¯s physical body and his arm was crushed. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± The ghost king cried out in pain. One of his arms had been crippled and cut off by him. He then put some distance between him and Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo did not give up. He was so fast that he grabbed the ghost king¡¯s other arm. ¡°No¡­ Wait a minute.¡± The ghost king wanted to beg for mercy, but he was no match for Lin Mo. ¡°Crack.¡± A soft sound rang out, and this sound made everyone feel a chill. This was too terrifying. With a casual grab, the ghost King¡¯s Arms were already crippled, and blood spurted out. Lin Mo threw away the severed arm in his hand and looked at the ghost king indifferently. He was like a god that had descended into the human world, and the ghost king was like a doll that could only be manipulated by others. ¡°Hehe ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed coldly as he lifted the ghost king up. He scanned his surroundings as the Buddha and the other three puppets surrounded him. The ghost king wanted to struggle, but it was to no avail. He had used up a lot of his energy, and even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to do anything to Lin Mo. His physical body was as resplendent as a diamond and was indestructible. ¡°You¡¯re just using the most ordinary method to break through to immortal-Foundation and haven¡¯t been burned by the great Dao. How can you fight me?¡± Lin Mo said in disdain. ¡°What do you mean?¡± The ghost king¡¯s body trembled. He had been planning to use the heavenly Tribulation to continue his cultivation. After all the hard work, in the end, he even schemed against his colleagues, turning them into puppets to swallow their Dao fruits. He had only achieved what he had today, so why was this the result? Outside the burying Soul Mountain range, many people swallowed their saliva and their faces turned pale. Although they had walked out of the God devouring body¡¯s domain, they could still feel the spirit Qi that they had just recovered leaking out. Unknowingly, the spirit Qi flowed into the black hole and was eventually devoured by Lin Mo. This scene caused everyone to shiver in fear. An immortal-Foundation God devouring physique was actually so terrifying? that¡¯s normal. The ghost king was able to move us with his aura. Lin Mo is stronger, so it¡¯s understandable that he can do this. Many people felt bitter. Was the so-called Golden Age specially prepared for Lin Mo? his combat strength was too strong. wait, I admit defeat. I¡¯m willing to submit and be your servant. The ghost king begged for mercy. At this moment, he had completely admitted defeat and did not dare to fight with Lin Mo. ¡°I admit defeat ¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered when he heard the ghost king¡¯s plea for mercy. He turned around and looked at Luo Haoyu, who was still unconscious. With just one look, his blood surged. Both Luo Haoyu and beautiful silk were his most respected elders. Now, one was almost humiliated, and the other¡¯s soul was searched. No matter what, he would not let the ghost king go. let¡¯s talk this out. If you leave me, I have a lot of ¡­ Ah ¡­¡± The ghost king wanted to say more, but Lin Mo kicked out viciously the next moment. His right leg exploded into a mist of blood. ¡°If I don¡¯t kill you, my hatred will not be satisfied ¡­¡± Chapter 558 - 558 Luo Haoyu in Danger 558 Luo Haoyu in Danger Luo Haoyu in danger ¡°Lin Mo!¡± The ghost king gritted his teeth and roared. Who would have thought that the final result would be like this? he was easily defeated by Lin Mo. Lin Mo¡¯s chest heaved up and down. The unconscious Luo Haoyu kept reverberating in his mind, and his killing intent intensified. ¡°I have never had such a strong killing intent before. You are the first. Go to hell.¡± He murmured softly. The ghost king howled in pain and tried to struggle, but it was all in vain. After Lin Mo broke through to immortal-Foundation, his combat strength had increased too much, and he was far ahead of the ghost king. The sword Qi exploded as the Daluo divine sword slashed down. In just a few strikes, the ghost king¡¯s body had completely exploded. ¡°Pfft!¡± In the end, Lin Mo pointed his finger at the ghost king¡¯s glabella like a sword. The ghost king¡¯s soul could not withstand it and was annihilated in an instant. The situation was reversed in an instant, and the onlookers were all shocked. Some of them had their spiritual Qi devoured by the God devouring body¡¯s Black hole and fainted. When he woke up again, he was dumbfounded to find that the battle had already ended. ¡°Aunty,. ¡®m sorry ¡­¡± Lin Mo returned to damask¡¯s side with an apologetic expression. He had come out of seclusion late and had made damask and Luo Haoyu suffer in his place. ¡°My good child, it¡¯s fine now ¡­¡± Damask smiled in relief and reached out to hug Lin Mo tightly. When she saw the burn marks on Lin Mo¡¯s body, her heart ached. ¡°Did you not get affected by your early exit?¡± She was a little worried. That was because Lin Mo¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation had not appeared even now. Why? If it was because of them that Lin Mo had to come out of seclusion earlier and hurt his Foundation, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s take a look at elder Luo¡¯s injuries first.¡± Lin Mo gave a reassuring smile and observed Luo Haoyu with damask. The more they watched, the more they frowned. His soul had been forcibly torn open and his memories were being checked. It was already very fortunate that he had survived. ¡°Is he not going to wake up?¡± Said damask worriedly. She had no other choice and looked towards Lin Mo for help, hoping that Lin Mo, who was at the immortal-Foundation realm, would have a way. ¡°Perhaps there¡¯s a way with a sky-level divine herb.¡± Lin Mo made his judgment. However, where could he find such a godly medicine? Did he have to wait four years for the Dao seeking garden to open again? He couldn¡¯t wait that long. Jiang xiyue was still waiting for him. How were Bai Luo, Xiao die, and the others doing in the southern land? ¡°Let¡¯s go back first, I¡¯ll think of a way.¡± Lin Mo had sealed Luo Haoyu¡¯s body with his powerful strength so that the spirit Qi in his body would not dissipate. Without the restraint of soul power, his cultivation base would dissipate after a long time. On this day, the eastern continent was shaken. Since the ancient era, the first immortal-Foundation expert to be born actually died just like that. The first to break through was saintess Xia you, who led the divine Secrets Holy Land to ascend. The second was the ghost king. He used evil cultivation techniques to devour the souls of his comrades and controlled four immortal-Foundation puppets. He was supposed to be the sovereign of the world, but Lin Mo had appeared out of nowhere and crushed the ghost king with his almost demonic strength. The battle shook the world, and the ghost king was killed. Now that the divine Secrets Holy Land had ascended, the top forces in the eastern land were only left with the purple Moon Palace and the burning Saint Valley. And with an immortal-Foundation expert guarding the purple Moon Palace, it might be the strongest power in the next tens of thousands of years. earth rank spirit herbs are useless. They can only maintain one¡¯s life force and ensure that one¡¯s soul doesn¡¯t dissipate ¡­ In the purple Moon Palace, in the small courtyard where Lin Mo lived, there were quite a few people. Lin Mo used the power of his immortal Foundation to suppress Luo Haoyu¡¯s cultivation and soul, while the medicine jar, Yao Tian, healed him. ¡°I¡¯ve tried my best. With such injuries, he shouldn¡¯t be able to live for long.¡± Yao Tian was helpless. The environment had changed. He was now at the eighth sky of Nirvana realm and a level 9 spirit Alchemist. However, Luo Haoyu¡¯s injuries would probably require an earth grade spirit Alchemist to treat. ¡°Palace Master, Saint burning Valley¡¯s saintess, miss Tang Ling, requests an audience.¡± A guard reported from outside the small courtyard. ¡°Quickly invite her in.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He was still very grateful to Tang Ling. He had guarded the purple Moon Palace for a long time when he was in seclusion. Although it was a transaction, the other party had also bought the spirit herbs with spirit stones. ¡°Brother Lin, congratulations.¡± A gust of fragrant wind blew over. Tang Ling was wearing a red dress and had a fairy-like temperament. At this moment, she was only one step away from immortal-Foundation ¡­ miss Tang Ling isn¡¯t far away. I should be the one congratulating you. Lin Mo cupped his fists and invited Tang Ling to take a look. According to what the Dao seeking garden formation spirit said, she seemed to be able to control the incomplete absolute beginning fire. He didn¡¯t know if she could use it to heal. ¡°His soul is slowly dissipating. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to last for more than a few years ¡­¡± Tang Ling just took a look and shook her head. Her injuries were too serious. Her soul was forcefully searched and her soul was unstable. the only way is to sever all of your cultivation base and become an ordinary person for the rest of your life. After a hundred years, your soul will return to your homeland ¡­ Tang Ling told him her method, which could cut off all of them and destroy Luo Haoyu¡¯s Foundation, turning him into a mortal. This way, she could use the Holy flame to burn his soul and completely heal him. however, this is equivalent to being completely crippled. I can¡¯t cultivate anymore. Tang Ling shook her head. This was the worst plan. She didn¡¯t know what the future would be like, but even if she could cultivate, she would probably need the most powerful divine medicine. At the very least, it would require a divine medicine or pill that was above rank 7 of the heaven class ¡­ Or to put it in another way, for those with a higher cultivation base than immortal-Foundation, that kind of expert might be able to treat them ¡­ ¡°No, this is like drinking poison to quench my thirst ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He owed Luo Haoyu a great debt of gratitude. Luo Haoyu was his elder and had always assisted Jiang xiyue. Now that he was in danger, how could he sever his cultivation? make an announcement. In my name, whoever can cure the great elder of the purple Moon Palace will be rewarded with the incomplete technique of an immemorial divine beast. On this day, a piece of news came out. The God Devourer body made an announcement. An immortal-Foundation expert invited all the capable people in the world to come and save his elder. The whole world was in an uproar. At the same time, the battle in the burying Soul Mountain range had spread through the streets. truly incredible. The God Devourer physique has broken through to immortal Foundation and he even managed to kill the ghost king who transcended his immortal-Foundation Heavenly Tribulation. that man is Luo Haoyu, the great elder of the purple Moon Palace, right? ¡± what a pity. His soul was searched, and his soul was about to dissipate. If it wasn¡¯t for the God Devourer body being sealed by the immortal Qi of his immortal Foundation, his soul would¡¯ve been scattered long ago. But soon, someone else raised his doubts. It had been more than a month since the battle at the burying Soul Mountain range. Lin Mo¡¯s injuries from his forced exit should have fully recovered. But even now, he still hadn¡¯t transcended his tribulation. The heavenly Tribulation for his immortal Foundation had yet to appear. what? Lin Mo forcefully came out of seclusion? his Foundation has been crippled and he won¡¯t live long? ¡± ¡°He asked the world to save his elders, but his goal was himself?¡± When the news was released, the eastern Peninsula was shocked. The God devouring body didn¡¯t have long to live. Was this true? this made everyone¡¯s hearts feel stifled. Saintess Xia you had ascended, the ghost king had been killed, and Tang Ling had yet to break through. Right now, the only immortal-Foundation expert was dying. what a pity. The golden age has arrived and the God devouring physique has awakened. It wasn¡¯t easy for him to break through to immortal Foundation, but now he¡¯s about to die. The heavens are truly unfair. ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Many people sighed, unwilling to believe this fact. The God Devourer body was a genius in the eastern continent. If it could grow smoothly, it might be able to fight with the experts of other continents in the future. That would be the glory of the eastern continent. If he were to die just like that ¡­ Chapter 559 - 559 The Surprise Before Leaving 559 The Surprise Before Leaving The surprise before leaving where did you hear this fake news from? the God Devourer body needs a lot of resources to break through, and it also needs resources to stabilize its realm, right? ¡± he¡¯s exhausted from saving his elders. Where would he find the time to search for resources and enter seclusion? ¡± Someone stood out to refute the rumors and scolded the people who started them. they all have their own excuses. Now, the purple Moon Palace has invited many capable people to go with them at a high price. Whoever has the ability can go and inquire about the news. Seven days after the notice was posted, Lin Mo walked out of a forbidden area. He brought a bunch of spirit herbs and directly chose to auction them in the local area, not caring that he would lose spirit stones. The most precious one was a rank 9 Earth Class life soul fruit. It was only 10 years old, but it could revive a person and nourish the soul. After the auction, they obtained an even older life soul fruit. He brought it back and fed it to Luo Haoyu. Finally, he woke up and his soul was temporarily stabilized. However, it was still in vain. Luo Haoyu¡¯s soul had been injured, and it was too difficult to heal him. Palace Master, although the divine fruit you found is effective, it¡¯s only a drop in the bucket. The effect isn¡¯t great. The divine herb elder helped Luo Haoyu to refine the life soul fruit, but he sighed in the end. He had been here for a few days and had used all sorts of methods, but it was still ineffective. ¡°Lin Mo ¡­¡± In the small courtyard, on the White jade bed, Luo Haoyu raised his hand with difficulty. Although he had woken up, he was still weak. ¡°Elder Luo?¡± Lin Mo quickly stepped forward with a bitter feeling in his heart. He had used so many methods, but they were still useless ¡­ don¡¯t waste It On Me. Let me become an ordinary person. This is good too. I can have an ending. Luo Haoyu shook his head. He did not wish for Lin Mo to be like this. He had no children in his life, but he had also trained a few disciples. Some time ago, Wufu seemed to be very close to Yan Rong. The two often gathered together to cultivate. He was very satisfied with this. If there were people to follow up, he would have no regrets. Even if he died, he would be content. Lin Mo shook his head. His eyes were red and on the verge of tears. He did not want to see Luo Haoyu die like this. Damask covered her face and sobbed.¡¯Is this really going to be the ending?¡¯ The life soul fruit¡¯s effect quickly dissipated, and Luo Haoyu fainted again. Lin Mo had no choice but to refine spirit stones to build an array to nourish Luo Haoyu¡¯s body. ¡°Is this really the only way?¡± Beautiful silk and Lin Mo walked out of the courtyard and sighed sorrowfully. ¡°I will think of a way to prevent elder Luo from being crippled.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t say anything. He left on this day and headed to the Dao seeking forbidden area to ask for help from the Dao seeking garden. The speed of an immortal-Foundation expert was extremely fast. In fact, he could even travel around the entire Eastern continent in a single day. At the core of the eastern continent, Lin Mo appeared at the entrance of the Dao seeking forbidden ground. There was an array seal here. If they wanted to open it, they could only wait. When the spirit herbs inside grew, the Dao seeking garden would open. ¡°Senior, can you let me in?¡± Lin Mo stopped in his tracks and requested. Silence. The entrance to the Dao seeking garden was completely silent. The formation was still in operation, and there was no movement. He had tried to break through it, but this formation was extremely terrifying. Pulling one hair would affect the whole body, and if he were to force his way in, it could even take his life. ¡°AI ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He didn¡¯t know what was going on with the Dao seeking garden¡¯s formation spirit. Was it ignoring him or sleeping? After waiting there for a day or two, Lin Mo finally left and there was no other way. The Dao seeking garden ignored him and he went to the Yan Huang divine dynasty¡¯s monolith forbidden grounds to search. But in the end, he gained nothing. Other than picking some earth rank spirit herbs in some hidden places, he had no other gains. ¡°I¡¯ve also run out of skills ¡­¡± Lin Mo was very depressed. He sat on a mountain near the monolith forbidden grounds and was silent. He was unwilling to give up, but he was also helpless because there was no way to heal Luo Haoyu. The damage caused by soul-searching was too great ¡­ ¡°Swish!¡± From the horizon, a brilliant flame appeared and rapidly approached Lin Mo with a powerful aura. ¡°Tang Ling?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Didn¡¯t tang Ling go back to Saint Burn Valley to cultivate in seclusion a while ago? why did she appear again? ¡°Brother Lin, are you still not giving up?¡± Tang Ling was wearing a fiery red dress as she strolled in the air. Her aura was even stronger, and she was on the verge of a breakthrough. This might be the last time she would come out. She might have come to ask Lin Mo if he had thought it through. Otherwise, Luo Haoyu would have no hope after she went into seclusion. ¡°You should go and do your closed-door training. I still don¡¯t want to give up ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He knew why Tang Ling was here. He still wanted to make a final struggle and find a stronger divine medicine. If he couldn¡¯t cure Luo Haoyu by the time Tang Ling came out of seclusion, he would have to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. ¡°Brother Lin, there might still be. chance ¡­¡± However, Tang Ling¡¯s words gradually ignited hope in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. ¡°Miss Tang Ling, have you thought of a solution?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. If he could really be cured, he was willing to pay any price. ¡°Someone told me to tell you that you should leave.¡± Tang Ling looked at Lin Mo curiously. When she had just come out of seclusion in Saint burning valley, she had received guidance from the sacred flame. She was suddenly enlightened and felt that she was close to breaking through to immortal-Foundation. However, the sacred flame had asked her to pass a message, which left her puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s time to go?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. What did that mean? don¡¯t look at me. I don¡¯t know either. This is the message that the Holy flame asked me to pass on. After Tang Ling finished speaking, she left directly. She had already said what she needed to say. Next, she was going to enter closed-door seclusion. The immortal-Foundation realm was beckoning to her. ¡°Holy flame ¡­¡± Looking at Tang Ling¡¯s back as she left, Lin Mo was surprised. Was it the Holy flame that made him leave, or was it the heaven mending monument? Since this mysterious existence was paying attention to him, could he appear and help him? ¡°AI ¡­¡± After thinking for a while, Lin Mo decided to continue exploring the forbidden land. No matter what, he had to find more godly medicines ¡­ In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Lin Mo walked out of the forbidden area and shook his head helplessly. He looked up at the sky and felt that he was being targeted. This was because he hadn¡¯t found a single spirit herb in the past half a month, not even one that was below the spirit grade ¡­ ¡°Heaven mending monument, is that you?¡± Lin Mo said. This was because the heaven mending monument had told him not to use up too much of the eastern continent¡¯s resources. Wasn¡¯t his current action similar to this? he had yet to gain anything in the past half a month ¡­ ¡°Can you help me save elder Luo? I don¡¯t want to lose an elder ¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s request did not receive any response. The sky was silent and there was no news at all. ¡°Elder Luo ¡­¡± At that moment, tears trickled down Lin Mo¡¯s face. He had no other choice. The heaven mending monument was interfering with him and not allowing him to search for the divine medicine. This meant that Luo Haoyu¡¯s life had also come to an end. Lin Mo returned to the purple Moon Palace with sorrow in his heart. However, just as he returned, he saw damask welcoming him with a face full of joy. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, aunty?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. It had been a long time since his little aunt had laughed so happily. ¡°It¡¯s working. Old Luo can be saved ¡­¡± Beautiful silk was overjoyed. She brought Lin Mo to a small courtyard where Lin Mo could sense a strange aura. It was powerful, mysterious, and familiar ¡­ ¡°Heaven mending monument!¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He would never mistake this aura. It was the heaven mending monument he had seen in Saint burning valley. Chapter 560 - 560 Nowhere to Go 560 Nowhere to Go Chapter 560-nowhere to go The heaven mending monument wasn¡¯t heartless and had really descended. Since it had been here, had Luo Haoyu been saved? He came to the White jade bed in high spirits, only to find that Luo Haoyu was still lying flat on the bed. His breathing was weak, and there was no movement. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell. However, in the next moment, he had a new feeling. He reached out his hand to take Luo Haoyu¡¯s pulse, and his soul power went deep into it to observe the physical condition of his body. He discovered that there was a special energy within Luo Haoyu¡¯s body that originated from the heaven mending monument. This energy did not have any healing effects, but it was very powerful, tens of thousands of times stronger than his own. It had sealed Luo Haoyu¡¯s cultivation base and even his soul was frozen. This made Luo Haoyu enter a state of suspended animation. He could maintain this state for a long time. In the future, he would definitely be able to wait for the divine medicine. ¡°Your notice is useful. A Divine Doctor has come to save him.¡± Damask said with a smile. Although the divine Doctor was demanding an exorbitant price, she didn¡¯t care. As long as Luo Haoyu had a chance to live, she would mobilize the treasure vault and do everything she could to satisfy his needs, even if he wanted more. ¡°How much?¡± he asked. Lin Mo was taken aback. The so-called godly doctor should be the heaven mending monument. It would not be lacking in spirit stones. nearly 100 billion medium spiritual stones. That¡¯s three-quarters of the purple Moon Palace¡¯s Treasury. This was a huge expense, and damask had even thought that this person was here to scam her. However, after seeing this person¡¯s methods and confirming that Luo Haoyu could continue in this state of suspended animation, he gave him the spirit stones without hesitation. ¡°What did that person look like? did he say anything?¡± Lin Mo quickly asked. Damask supported her chin with her hand and recalled carefully for a moment before she said, ¡± ¡°No, after he took the spirit stones, he kept saying ¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to go ¡­ It¡¯s time to go ¡­¡± As for his appearance, damask was greatly alarmed as she tried to recall carefully. ¡°I ¡­ I can¡¯t remember ¡­¡± Beautiful silk muttered. She could not remember what the divine Doctor looked like. ¡°I know ¡­¡± Without letting damask continue to think, Lin Mo understood and was extremely grateful to the heaven mending monument. Although it had taken three-quarters of the purple Moon Palace¡¯s resources, it was nothing compared to Luo Haoyu ¡­ It had been eight months since the battle at the burying Soul Mountain range. The world was at peace and no one dared to cause trouble. They all knew that the purple Moon Palace had an immortal Foundation that no one dared to offend. On this day, the world was in an uproar. The notice of the purple Moon Palace was withdrawn, and the first elder Luo Haoyu was saved. have you heard? there¡¯s a miracle doctor Who used 100 billion medium spiritual stones to set up a formation and seal Luo Haoyu. he¡¯s really willing to pay such a huge price, but it¡¯s just a seal. If he wants to save her, he¡¯ll need a high-grade divine medicine ¡­ The crowd gasped in admiration. The God Devourer body had put in a lot of effort for this elder. At the same time, another piece of news came out. The purple Moon Palace had changed hands, and the second Palace Master, Lin Mo, had abdicated. The second elder damask became the new palace Master, and Lin Mo set the palace rules. ¡°The palace Masters can be called strong, but not Kings.¡± all disciples of the purple Moon Palace should take the common people as their responsibility. If there are evil cultivators in chaos, they must be killed. when dealing with cultivators, you must not wantonly bully them. You must not take the initiative to provoke them ¡­ ¡°¡­¡± ¡°We will obey the palace master¡¯s orders.¡± Outside the main hall of the purple Moon Palace, a large number of disciples knelt down and saluted respectfully. On that day, Lin Mo handed over the position of Palace Master to beautiful silk, allowing her to lead the purple Moon Palace. ¡°Everyone, take care. I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll return after this farewell, so don¡¯t miss me.¡± After settling everything, Lin Mo leaped into the sky and disappeared from everyone¡¯s sight. The change of the purple Moon Palace¡¯s Palace Master was a major event in the world, and the entire Eastern continent was shocked. In particular, the rules that Lin Mo had set before he left had won the admiration of countless people. The people all regarded Lin Mo as an immortal. Even the cultivators were praising Lin Mo. The ghost king broke through to immortal Foundation with the goal of ruling the eastern continent. Lin Mo had the strength to do so, but he could still abide by his heart ¡­ that¡¯s not right. Lin Mo is in his Prime. Why did he step down? ¡± All of a sudden, people were confused. Lin Mo was doing well in his position, so why did he pass down the position of Palace Master after breaking through? I know. Our Palace Master went to another continent in search of a higher realm. A young man chuckled. He held a folding fan in his hand and was particularly eye-catching in the crowd. ¡°So you¡¯re a disciple of the purple Moon Palace. Is what fellow Daoist said true?¡± A cultivator recognized the young man¡¯s identity and quickly asked. ¡°That is only natural ¡­¡± The eastern continent was flourishing. The only immortal-Foundation expert left, and disputes gradually arose. In order to fight for resources, some forces began to attack wantonly. The war started, and the flames of war flew everywhere. And all of this, to the people, was just idle gossip. Because of the rules that Lin Mo had left behind before he left, ordinary people were spared from the suffering of war. Even if some villages were to be affected by the war, they would be taken away by passing cultivators in advance and settled elsewhere. During the golden age, there were disputes. Geniuses from all sides rose, and the eastern continent gradually became prosperous ¡­ Lin Mo was aware of all this, but he had no time to care about it. He was looking for a way out of the eastern continent. It was previously said that immortal-foundation experts had the ability to travel across the void and continents to travel to other places. But now, it seemed that this was a little too exaggerated. Or rather, it could be done, but the first step of immortal-Foundation couldn¡¯t. ¡°How do I leave?¡± He felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to ask for help from the heaven mending monument, but he didn¡¯t want to disturb it. After all, he had just been helped. there¡¯s actually a super-large teleportation array hidden under the divine Secrets Holy Land. Its destination must be another continent ¡­ Lin Mo arrived at the old site of the divine Secrets Holy Land. This place was deserted and had become a ruin. There were some opportunities left behind. He had heard from Bai Luo that the other continents were vast and boundless, and a small mountain range was comparable to the entire Eastern continent. How was he going to find the Bai family after he went there? Lin Mo stayed there for a while before leaving. This teleportation formation could no longer be used. It would need to be repaired after being activated once, but he did not have the strength to do so. the path has been cut off. How can I leave? ¡± Lin Mo searched aimlessly, searching for teleportation formations in the historical sites of the eastern continent. In the end, he even visited many ancient clans. Some of them had inheritances from the ancient times and were recorded in ancient books. He also visited Saint burning valley and asked Tang Jitong if he had a teleportation formation to other continents. ¡°AI ¡­¡± After a round of searching, Lin Mo looked up at the sky and sighed. He could not find the way. am I really going to travel through the void? ¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. He could indeed leave the eastern continent, but it was very far from the other continents. With his current strength, he would probably lose all his spiritual energy halfway and die in the void. Most importantly, he didn¡¯t have a direction. If he went the wrong way, it would mean that he would be completely lost. ¡°I never thought that I would be stuck in finding a path ever since I started wandering ¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He wanted to leave, but he realized that he could not. He went to all the ancient clans and found that most of their inheritances had been cut off. There were very few records of them in the ancient books. ¡°Let¡¯s make another trip to the Holy Burn Valley ¡­¡± Chapter 561 - 561 The Road in a Desperate Situation 561 The Road in a Desperate Situation The road in a desperate situation Saint burning valley. Tang Jitong welcomed Lin Mo¡¯s visit warmly. Lin Mo wanted to read some ancient books to find a way out. Tang Jitong did not reject this and even helped Lin Mo search. The two of them flipped through the ancient books and found some clues. The eastern continent had once been extremely prosperous and had tens of thousands of races. However, an unforeseen event had occurred and it had declined to this point. Now that the golden age had begun, the glory of the past was gradually recovering. The God devouring body and the Heaven¡¯s Will body were the same. They were born in the same generation ¡­ Some of the ancient races had left this place after setting up a formation when the eastern continent had started to decline. Perhaps they didn¡¯t even know that their own race had a teleportation array that could leave this place. there are also some races that have already been destroyed. Their inheritances have been completely cut off, and only ruins are left. Lin Mo muttered to himself. He had been to all of the powerful races or those that still existed. There were no teleportation portals in their race, or they had been used in some unknown era and were completely abandoned ¡­ Upon receiving the news, Lin Mo immediately went to search for some ancient race beings who were hiding in the small worlds. Although it was abandoned, it was still protected by the array. Lin Mo entered smoothly and found some clues. He found array flags in a small world called the spirit grass clan. The spirit grass clan had been exterminated by their enemies 10000 years ago, and all the forces in the outside world had been slaughtered. Under the pressure of their enemies, they had no choice but to seal off their small worlds and completely cut off their existence. 10,000 years later, the formation had decayed. Lin Mo opened it, but there was no life inside. This place was still dangerous. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Lin Mo was already an immortal-Foundation expert, he wouldn¡¯t be able to move around. To his surprise, there was indeed a teleportation formation that led to the Northern Land. ¡°What? there¡¯s still a test?¡± Upon closer inspection, Lin Mo realized that the teleportation formation was locked up by a powerful seal. ¡°What test do you need?¡± Lin Mo was curious. He was the most powerful person in the eastern continent. How could this decaying seal test him? However, he did not dare to act rashly. If the runes of the teleportation formation were destroyed, he would not be able to repair it. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat it as the last training before I leave.¡± Lin Mo smiled calmly and walked into the teleportation formation without any preparation. As soon as he entered, he felt the energy in his body being scanned. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an arena. ¡°Roar!¡± The stage had just been built when a beast¡¯s roar was heard, accompanied by the sound of wings flapping. The crackling lightning spread and was very dazzling. In the blink of an eye, it flooded the ring. Lin Mo raised his head. It was a heavenly lightning Sparrow with a ferocious appearance. When it flapped its wings, Thunder rumbled. This was an ancient beast that was incomparably ferocious. Its cultivation base was the same as Lin Mo¡¯s, an immortal Foundation that had yet to stabilize. The other party was able to control lightning, and it was an innate ability. It was unusually powerful. Lin Mo used his own lightning to fight back. The two of them exchanged blows and used this to verify what he had learned. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s punch was accompanied by lightning. He did not avoid the heavenly lightning Sparrow¡¯s sharp claws and chose to attack head-on. my physical body is already able to contend with this kind of strange beast. It¡¯s not weak at all. Lin Mo had realized during the battle that every breakthrough of the God devouring body was a rebirth for the body. Right now, he had yet to pass the heavenly Tribulation. Once he was reborn by bathing in the lightning, he would become even more powerful. The heavenly Thunder Sparrow¡¯s body was Bathed In Lightning. Purple-gold lightning curled around its sharp claws as it clawed at Lin Mo¡¯s face. This power was extremely shocking. It was enough to tear the void apart and destroy an entire mountain range without a problem. It was too overbearing. Lin Mo dodged to the side. He knew that his body was comparable to an ancient beast, so he did not need to fight it head-on. ¡°Is this the first stage, or is there only one stage in total?¡± While fighting, Lin Mo was a little surprised. The heavenly lightning Sparrow was too powerful. If this was the first stage, then the spirit herb clan was a little too strong. He had learned from the battle that fighting with an expert of the same combat strength could stimulate his potential faster. ¡°BOOM!¡± After a few minutes of comprehension, Lin Mo raised his hand and circulated the Dao law in his body. Extreme lightning spread out and formed a heavenly lightning Sparrow. Purple lightning surrounded it, making it look fierce and overbearing. The two heavenly lightning sparrows collided and began to fight. This level of lightning was enough to kill immortal-foundation experts. In the end, the lightning dimmed, and the battle ended. The two heavenly lightning sparrows disappeared at the same time. Something happened in the arena, and some runes under his feet lit up. Lin Mo could feel that the teleportation formation had been partially activated. After that, he accepted another test. Another strange beast appeared. It was the Taotie, but its combat strength was even stronger and more terrifying than the one Lin Mo had encountered before. The devouring power spread and devoured everything. Lin Mo¡¯s lightning could not hurt it at all. In the end, Lin Mo used his sword Qi to cut open the body with pure sword intent, which finally exploded. After fighting with the Taotie for over a hundred rounds, his eyes were shining. This kind of test was too wonderful for him. He attacked without any hesitation. His opponent¡¯s strength was just right, about the same as his, so he could train himself to the greatest extent. ¡°The reason why the disciples of the ancient sects and Holy Lands were so strong was not only because of their own heritage, but also because of this kind of test.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. He had passed the second stage again. The light of the teleportation array was even more brilliant, and it was about to be activated. The third stage came one after another, and the runes formed a zhuyan with golden hair. It displayed the seventy-two transformations, and the runes transformed into a golden light that shone brightly. ¡°Yi, Who are you? how dare you impersonate me?¡± The Zhu Yan scratched its ears and turned into Lin Mo in the blink of an eye. Lin Mo was shocked to see it. this kind of spell technique is too outrageous ¡­ Lin Mo was very envious, and he suddenly realized that he had mastered a martial art called the breath-holding concentration scroll in his early years. The runes were actually similar to the seventy-two transformations that the zhuyan used. When the battle began, Zhu Yan, who had transformed into Lin Mo, also summoned a ring of black Eastern Palace that could swallow everything. ¡°It¡¯s just an imitation. It can¡¯t really imitate the God Devourer body.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and activated the God devouring technique. He unleashed the true God devouring body and instantly broke through the 72 transformations of the zhuyan. ¡°Owwuuu!¡± The zhuyan roared and enlarged its body to suppress the mountains and rivers. However, it still couldn¡¯t escape its fate of being suppressed by Lin Mo. This was the last stage. The teleportation array was activated, and the coordinates were displayed ¡­ the coordinates are in the northern lands of Yunzhou. It¡¯s too far ¡­ Lin Mo frowned. The teleportation formation was still working, but the distance between the Northern Land and the southern land was a Midland. How was he supposed to find Jiang xiyue and the others? ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s not easy to find a place, so don¡¯t be picky ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He placed a large number of spirit stones into the teleportation formation to speed up its recovery and began to absorb the energy around it. With a buzz, the Super-large teleportation formation activated. Runes flickered, and Lin Mo¡¯s figure gradually became illusory. The teleportation formation was about to be activated. ¡°I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able to return after this trip ¡­¡± Using his fingers as a sword, he pointed at a stone tablet outside the teleportation formation and carved a line of words with sword Qi. ¡°God devouring body, Lin Mo!¡± Chapter 562 - 562 Changes In the Starry Sky 562 Changes In the Starry Sky Changes in the starry sky There was no way he would regret activating the teleportation formation. Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared, and he left the eastern continent in the blink of an eye. He shuttled through the endless void. It was like a wormhole, and he shuttled through it. In a daze, they could even see shooting stars breaking through the sky outside the wormhole, and the stars were spinning in reverse. It was an astonishing scene. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± All of a sudden, the wormhole he was in became unstable. Many parts of the space tunnel collapsed, and he was almost thrown out. ¡°This is bad ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Over the years, many parts of the spirit grass clan¡¯s space teleportation formation had decayed. Even if it was activated, there would be many injuries. The teleportation formation in the eastern continent should have been destroyed. This was also the reason why there was an abnormality in his tunnel ¡­ ¡°Swish!¡± A dense spatial power spread out and formed a crack, cutting off a part of Lin Mo¡¯s sleeve. Just a little more and he would have been torn apart by this spatial Rift. ¡°Crack ¡­¡± Cracking sounds could be heard as the passageway became unstable. He was about to fall into the endless void. ¡°I have to run.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and spread his kun Peng wings. He flapped them gently and flew away at full speed. No matter what, he had to fly as far as he could before the passage was destroyed. If he fell into the void and was too far away from the Northern Land, he would end up getting lost ¡­ ¡°Wuwuwu ¡­¡± Gusts of strong wind blew, and a storm suddenly rose in the passage. It began to sweep all over the place, wanting to destroy the passage. Lin Mo flapped his kun Peng wings and dodged with great difficulty. However, the storm was too dense. No matter how fast he was, he was still hit. In just a few minutes, he was covered in blood and wounds. His physical body had been very strong, especially after being burned by the Dao fire for so long. It was beyond ordinary. But now, he was in a miserable state, struggling to survive. ¡°Why do I always have to encounter all kinds of unlucky things ¡­¡± Lin Mo was vexed. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Bai Luo to leave a super-large teleportation formation behind ¡­ It would be best to set it up within the sphere of influence of the purple Moon Palace and the Bai family, so that they could travel back and forth ¡­ Lin Mo did not have time to think. He flew quickly, racing against time. His spirit Qi was being consumed rapidly. Lin Mo flew at full speed in the void passageway, traveling thousands of miles in an instant. ¡°Swish!¡± A stream of light flashed past Lin Mo, carrying a few wisps of chaotic mist. This was a sign that the passageway had collapsed. This proved that the tunnel behind them had been broken, and there was no way out. There were also cracks in front of him, and it was in danger of collapsing at any moment. Lin Mo¡¯s body movements were profound as he dodged continuously. This was a void passage, and there was no spiritual Qi inside for him to replenish. Fortunately, he had a lot of spiritual herbs and some spiritual stones with him. He could support himself, but he didn¡¯t know how long he could last. Most importantly, could this passageway continue? Lin Mo leaped and escaped through the cracks. Fortunately, the most dangerous moment had not arrived. Although the passage was cracked and the storm continued, it had not collapsed and could still be walked. ¡°Bang!¡± ¡°BOOM!¡± The violent explosion spread, and the tunnel that Lin Mo was in collapsed instantly. He was also swept into the turbulent flow of the void in the next moment. As the huge explosion came, the void exploded. His teleportation ended and his body was directly exposed in the void. ¡°This place ¡­ Where is it?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s head was full of black lines as he looked around. It was a vast starry sky, with meteorites passing by in front of him. It was quiet in all directions, without any living creatures. He could feel that he was currently in the endless starry sky, and the end of his vision was pitch black. The occasional light was only the twinkling stars ¡­ Lin Mo released his spiritual sense to check the surroundings. It continued to extend for a long time, almost covering tens of millions of miles, but he did not sense any life ¡­ ¡°It can¡¯t be ¡­¡± His heart sank to the bottom of the valley. If he was really thrown into the starry sky, how was he going to find the path? however, it¡¯s already a miracle that he managed to survive the explosion with only a few minor injuries. Lin Mo adjusted his state of mind. At least he was still alive and there was still hope. ¡°Let¡¯s take. walk around first ¡­¡± He had been flying in the starry sky, and he didn¡¯t have many spirit stones left. He had also used up all his spirit herbs when he was healing his injuries. If he were to stroll through the starry sky in this state, he would die when his spiritual energy was exhausted. this should be somewhere near the northern lands. I can feel the heavenly Tribulation stirring. It¡¯s going to strike me at any moment ¡­ Not only that, but he also felt that other than the heavenly punishment, the great path nomological laws here were even denser. It was even more perfect and powerful than the eastern continent. It was difficult for him to exert his full power here ¡­ ¡°But where is the direction?¡± Soon, Lin Mo discovered another problem. He did not know which direction the Northern Land was in. If he went the wrong way, he would be done for ¡­ actually, there¡¯s a complete Dao law here. I can cultivate on the spot and trigger the heavenly Tribulation. I might be able to attract people¡¯s attention ¡­ Lin Mo muttered to himself. His Heavenly Tribulation was bound to attract a lot of attention. It would cause a huge commotion and be very extraordinary. However, he had to take note that if the person who came to investigate was too powerful or had ill intentions, he might be harmed. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s just fly for a while first.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He kept the kun Peng wings and strolled through the starry sky. However, not long after, he collapsed to the ground. ¡°Damn it, why are the laws of the world suppressing me?¡± Lin Mo was shocked and found it difficult to move. This was because he could not use his cultivation at the moment. It was as if he was about to be crippled. Although he could still stand, he could no longer walk. Moreover, he could also feel that there was a black mass above his head. The heavenly Tribulation was already gathering, and it would descend soon. it¡¯s because the Dao laws of the eastern continent are incomplete. The power cultivated there will be perfected here and can¡¯t be used ¡­ Lin Mo mumbled. He was in a very bad situation right now. If the heavenly Tribulation descended now, it would be very difficult for him to survive ¡­ ¡°Forget it, come.¡± After refining some spirit stones, Lin Mo had recovered to his peak state. The laws of heaven and earth were still suppressing him, but not as badly as before. Soon, the Dao laws in his body would be perfected and this world would no longer restrict him. However, before that, he still had a problem, and that was the heavenly Tribulation ¡­ ¡°Boom, boom, boom.¡± In the boundless starry sky, heavenly lightning rumbled. This was Lin Mo¡¯s immortal Foundation Heavenly Tribulation. He had broken through the shackles of the Nirvana stage and completely ascended to the immortal Foundation Stage. The Tribulation cloud covered a huge area. The heavenly Tribulation not only contained lightning, but also Dao fire, wind, and ice. The elements of heaven and earth gathered, forming all sorts of natural weather. Lin Mo adjusted his condition and released his aura to trigger the heavenly Tribulation. ¡°BOOM!¡± In an instant, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down and drowned Lin Mo. Icicles fell rapidly and pierced Lin Mo¡¯s body. The robe on his body was already in tatters, and after such a destruction, it was directly destroyed. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo condensed a suit of armor on his body with the Dao laws of lightning and fire. Using his fingers as swords, he condensed sword Qi to resist the heavenly Tribulation. He had left the great Luo divine sword in the purple Moon Palace and temporarily handed it over to damask for safekeeping. In the future, it would continue to be passed down and become the palace master¡¯s inheritance magical artifact. Chapter 563 - 563 A Duel Against a True Dragon 563 A Duel Against a True Dragon A duel against a true dragon At this time, he did not have any powerful magical equipment on him. Under the bombardment of the heavenly Tribulation, he was in a dangerous situation. ¡°Crack.¡± The sound of bones breaking came from within his body, causing Lin Mo¡¯s body to tremble. The pain assaulted him-this was a sign that the laws of heaven and earth had entered his body. He would shatter the meridians in his body, construct a more perfect nomological law, erase everything, and carve it anew. If it were any other time, Lin Mo would naturally be willing to do so, as it would make him stronger. However, it was different now. He was still fighting against the heavenly Tribulation, which was already very dangerous, and now he had to face such pain. why didn¡¯t bai Luo tell me that the laws have to be perfected ¡­ Lin Mo laughed bitterly. If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen to leave the eastern continent and transcend his tribulation in the starry sky. After the tribulation, he would return and use the teleportation formation to head to the Northern Land. This way, the current situation wouldn¡¯t have happened. He couldn¡¯t help it. His body was transforming, and his body was also suffering the heavenly Tribulation outside ¡­ ¡°Hurry up ¡­¡± The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Lin Mo¡¯s heart trembled in pain as he resisted the heavenly Tribulation with great difficulty. At this moment, he really wanted to use the true Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana technique to stop the heavenly Tribulation. However, he was worried that this would lead to other unforeseen events. Moreover, the heavenly Tribulation had caused such a huge commotion, and he didn¡¯t know if it had attracted anyone. If someone came to check on him and found out that he knew the Nirvana of real phoenixes, he would be in trouble. the law of the eastern land has been completely covered. The law of the Northern Land is even more complete and powerful ¡­ Lin Mo was shocked as he felt the power in his body gradually growing stronger. This could not be done in the eastern continent. Some laws were not perfect, and there would be many problems left behind. However, it was still fine. As long as he went to a higher level world, he would be able to remedy it. He just needed to endure endless pain. ¡°BOOM!¡± In the sky, Thunder rumbled and storms raged. The starry sky was torn apart as Lin Mo struggled to cross the sea of stars like a small boat. At this moment, his bones were broken, and the Dao laws in his body were slowly being perfected. If not for the fact that his physical body was extremely powerful, he would have been turned into ashes by the heavenly Tribulation outside his body. He forced himself to take a deep breath and cast an art to resist the heavenly Tribulation. At the same time, he activated his God devouring body and began to absorb the power of the heavenly Tribulation. It was strange that there was no power in the starry sky. There was almost no spiritual Qi, and even the God Devourer body could not devour much. However, the heavenly Tribulation could still be condensed here. The power of the heavenly Tribulation was rich, and he had no idea where it came from ¡­ As the power of the heavenly Tribulation entered his body, Lin Mo¡¯s body was further tempered. Pain followed. In between the indistinct state, the world rumbled, and divine chains of order descended. They were indestructible. No matter how Lin Mo tried to stop them, they were still bound. The heavenly lightning struck, the wind wreaked havoc, and the flames of the way spread. All kinds of strange phenomena appeared in the heavenly Tribulation, but Lin Mo, who was in the middle, stood still. He allowed the attacks to come at him, but he remained unmoved. His body was like a Supreme treasure, indestructible. As the Dao law was injected and the heavenly Tribulation tempered his body, Lin Mo began to transform. The crushed bones in his body were reborn and he became stronger. His meridians were constantly being reconstructed, but they were quickly destroyed by the heavenly Tribulation. The next moment, his meridians were reborn, and he became even stronger with the help of the heavenly Tribulation. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± The power in his body grew stronger and stronger. Lin Mo raised his head to the sky and let out a long and impassioned howl. The starry sky trembled, and the space here was unstable. The divine chains of order that bound him broke inch by inch. The runes of the soul devouring technique were becoming more and more mysterious, and Lin Mo found it difficult to see through them. ¡°What¡¯s happening? the dead area star sea has some energy fluctuations?¡± In the distant starry sky. Many battleships sailed through the starry sky. There were many cultivators on the battleships, and every one of them had a powerful aura. Some people looked at the sea of stars in confusion. This was the dead area of the sea of stars. Logically, there shouldn¡¯t be such a huge energy fluctuation here ¡­ let¡¯s go and take a look. Perhaps a Supreme treasure has been born. At the bow of the ship, a young man in white armor stood. He held a bronze spear in his hand and looked like a god of War. ¡°Yes, young master.¡± There were a total of more than a hundred warships. Under the young man¡¯s command, they sailed at full speed towards the source of the commotion. On the other side of the starry sea, Lin Mo was bathed in the heavenly Tribulation. The Dao laws in his body were re-engraved and became stronger. This was equivalent to a new life. The bones in his body had become stronger, and a few golden lines could be vaguely seen on them. It was like a Hidden Dragon that had remained dormant in Lin Mo¡¯s body, waiting for the right time to explode ¡­ ¡°It hurts ¡­ However, this feeling of rebirth is so comfortable ¡­¡± The heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated. Lin Mo felt as though he had been reborn. The current him could be considered to have completely stepped into the first step of immortal Foundation. The Dao law in his body was perfected and it was constantly cleansing his body, giving him unlimited vitality. However, the God devouring body¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation wasn¡¯t over yet. How could it be simple? Not even half of it had passed. At this moment, the laws of heaven and earth were condensing in the sky, and it was thicker than any time before. The Dragon¡¯s Roar reverberated through the starry sky, intimidating all living things. In the midst of the Thunder, Lin Mo saw the lightning bolts fuse together, and a Lightning Dragon gradually appeared. no way! The ancient godly beast just appeared like this? ¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was the first time he had seen a Dragon. It should be a real Dragon with the same aura. He had once obtained a drop of true dragon¡¯s heart blood, so he had felt it before. He didn¡¯t expect the heavenly Tribulation to be so terrifying. Was it going to transform into a true dragon to fight him? ¡°Ang!¡± A valiant Dragon¡¯s Roar resounded. The starry sea was in a riot as the Dragon¡¯s might spread. The true dragon had five claws and its huge body spiraled. It roared at Lin Mo and attacked in the next moment. Unsurprisingly, Lin Mo had encountered his strongest enemy. This true dragon was also at the immortal-Foundation realm. Just like Lin Mo, it had the strength to transcend the heavenly Tribulation. However, this combat strength made Lin Mo exclaim in disbelief. The true dragon Claw attacked and destroyed the sword Qi around him. The Dragon scales flickered with light, and the sword Qi could not hurt it at all. ¡°Qilin steps.¡± go! Lin Mo shouted. Purple light flickered under his feet as the Qilin mark condensed. He took four steps forward and resisted the true dragon Claw. ¡°BOOM!¡± The violent explosion spread, and Lin Mo was sent flying. The true Dragon¡¯s huge body remained unmoving in the sea of stars. Lin Mo was in trouble during their first clash. The Qilin steps had lost its effect and he could not resist effectively. This made Lin Mo feel helpless. Was this the combat power of an ancient divine beast, a true dragon, at the immortal-foundation level? it was too terrifying. I am strong, but don¡¯t underestimate me. I have the most mysterious God devouring body among the human race. ¡°The human race might not be weaker than the Dragon race ¡­¡± Lin Mo bellowed. Among the various physiques of the human race, the destiny body carried the will of heaven and earth. The chaotic body was said to be the strongest in combat, while the God devouring body was the least recorded. This was because it was too mysterious and had appeared the least. However, every time it appeared, it would leave a brilliant mark in the history of the ten thousand races. This was enough to prove the power of the God devouring body. ¡°I, Lin Mo, will not Sully the honor of our ancestors.¡± With a loud roar, he circulated the God devouring technique and mobilized all the power in his body to form a domain so that the true dragon couldn¡¯t tear him apart immediately. Waves of power came from his body as he devoured the power of the heavenly Tribulation in the true Dragon¡¯s body to nourish his body. ¡°Let¡¯s fight.¡± He roared and fought the true dragon again ¡­ Chapter 564 - 564 Three Thousand States in the Northern Land 564 Three Thousand States in the Northern Land Three thousand States in the Northern Land The battle lasted for an hour. Lin Mo and the true dragon fought fiercely, and he almost lost his life each time. Although this true dragon was formed from the heavenly Tribulation, it possessed all the strength of a true dragon in this realm. Lin Mo had fought hard for an hour and had already exchanged thousands of blows. Not a single part of his body was intact. Although he was covered in blood, his eyes were clear and his fighting spirit was high. To be able to fight with a true dragon, other people might not even have the chance because true dragons had long gone extinct. In the ancient era, it was lost in history. Even in the continents outside of the eastern continent, only a few ruins could be found, which proved the power of this Supreme creature. ¡°The heavenly Tribulation is about to dissipate. It¡¯s an unfair victory. I look forward to fighting again in the future.¡± Although he knew that the true dragon was a manifestation of the heavenly Tribulation, Lin Mo still gave it enough respect. He cupped his fists and bowed to the true dragon, full of sincerity. The heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated, and the starry sky regained its clarity. The true Dragon¡¯s body also gradually faded. ¡°Hmm, someone is approaching?¡± Watching the true dragon leave, Lin Mo was just about to relax when his spiritual sense suddenly sensed a living being approaching. At the end of his line of sight, battleships sailed over one after another, all of them filled with people. They were all cultivators, and they were staring at Lin Mo with their eyes wide open. From a long distance away, they could feel the intense battle here accompanied by the Dragon¡¯s Roar. When they discovered the heavenly Tribulation and came over to take a look, they saw Lin Mo and the true dragon fighting. unbelievable. There¡¯s actually a human youth in this world who can fight a true dragon ¡­ no, that true dragon is incomplete. It only knows some of the true Dragon¡¯s techniques. However, to be able to do this, it can also defeat the younger generation of a province ¡­ ¡°At the very least, there are only a handful of juniors in Yunzhou who can fight against him.¡± The people on the warship discussed animatedly, and their words shocked Lin Mo. It was true that a true dragon only knew how to release its power, but the strength of its body, its control of Dao laws, and its display of combat power were already considered true dragons. they should have only seen the final battle. The true dragon and I were both seriously injured ¡­ Lin Mo muttered to himself. It was indeed reasonable. However, what they said earlier had also shocked Lin Mo. Among the younger generation of Yunzhou, there were only a handful of people who could do this ¡­ He was a genius who had only appeared in the eastern continent after countless years, and the only one who could match him was the destiny body, Xia you. However, there were so many experts in the clouds Plains who were on par with him in terms of combat strength ¡­ ¡°Sir, which Prefecture are you from? you¡¯re quite courageous to come to the dead star sea of the cloud Prefecture to undergo your tribulation.¡± On the warship at the forefront, a young man clad in battle armor held a bronze battle spear in his hand. His eyes were burning. In Yunzhou, the number of juniors who could fight with this person could be counted on one hand. Unfortunately, Gongsun Wenhao happened to be one of them. The one who had pointed out that the true dragon would only spread its hands was an old man beside him. He was wearing bronze armor and had a knife at his waist. He was his guard. The old man had already locked onto Lin Mo¡¯s aura. As long as the young master gave the order, he would be able to capture Lin Mo at any time. ¡°You¡¯re just a wandering cultivator, I don¡¯t deserve that title.¡± Lin Mo lowered his voice. He was unfamiliar with the place and would not reveal his identity. However, there was good news. They were already in the northern cloud plane. They just didn¡¯t know what kind of place the dead star sea was. ¡°I have other matters to attend to, so I won¡¯t bother you any further. Farewell.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and was about to leave. The true dragon in front of him gradually turned illusionary until it disappeared. However, the heavenly Tribulation in the sky still had a little bit of power left. They surged into the true Dragon¡¯s body, and the Dragon¡¯s might spread. The true dragon¡¯s eyes seemed to have some clarity. No one could see it clearly. The dragon¡¯s eye closed instantly, and with a Dragon¡¯s Roar, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Gongsun Wenhao was shocked. Originally, he was excited to see his prey and planned to fight with Lin Mo to find out the other party¡¯s background. However, why did the heavenly Tribulation help Lin Mo escape? why? young master, this person is not simple. The heavenly Tribulation he has transcended is very rare. Now that he has transcended it, the heavenly Tribulation will protect him. we barged in and he was alerted. The heavenly Tribulation also sensed us and took him away. The old man beside Gongsun Wenhao sighed. The heavenly Tribulation had taken Lin Mo away, and even he could not stop it. ¡°Forget it. This person shouldn¡¯t be from Yunzhou. There¡¯s no need to pay attention to him.¡± Gongsun Wenhao waved his hand and ordered the warship to turn around. More than one hundred battleships were moving grandly in the dead area star sea. However, no one knew that under the cover of the heavenly Tribulation, Lin Mo had already boarded the ship without them knowing. Through other people¡¯s conversations, he obtained a lot of information and also knew where he was. the 3000 States of the Northern Land ¡­ This was the information that Lin Mo had found out from their casual conversation. The cloud plane was one of the weaker planes among the 3000 planes, but even so, it was vast. If he were to fly by himself, he would probably have to fly for more than ten years before he could cross this Prefecture ¡­ This time, Lin Mo believed it. The other continents were so prosperous. No wonder Bai Luo was so confident. One must know that the eastern continent was already very large. However, after Lin Mo broke through to immortal-Foundation, he had only traveled the continent for a few days. ¡®But what about the outside world? there are 3000 States in the Northern Land alone. That¡¯s the real boundless land ¡­¡¯ Lin Mo then chatted with these people. He knew that this place was vast, and even if he did not know, he would not be suspected. ¡°Little brother, you¡¯ve just left the clan to cultivate, right? you actually want to go to other continents?¡± A middle-aged man laughed. He put his arm around Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder and pulled him to a table. There were quite a few people sitting here. From the content of their conversation, they should be mercenary groups. They were currently gathered together to eat and drink. ¡°Old bull, who is this little brother?¡± Someone asked and handed him a bowl and chopsticks, inviting Lin Mo to eat and drink. ¡°He just came out to train. Didn¡¯t I bring him here? he wants to know how to go to the other continents.¡± The person called old bull laughed. hehe, it¡¯s good that you¡¯ve just debuted. You¡¯re young and inexperienced, but you¡¯re easy to deceive. A man laughed and reminded Lin Mo not to trust others so easily, or he might lose his life. our leader is not from the North. He¡¯s from the South. If you have the guts, come with us. I promise I won¡¯t lie to you. Someone laughed and poured wine for Lin Mo. Lin Mo did not know what to do when he saw how passionate these people were. However, he didn¡¯t feel any hostility from these people, so he didn¡¯t refuse. Moreover, he really wanted to know the way to go to the other continents. ¡°Then I¡¯ll accept your invitation.¡± Lin Mo raised his cup and drank with them. haha, that¡¯s great. I¡¯m an orphan, so they call me da Niu or old Niu. You can call me that too. Old cow sat down beside Lin Mo and enthusiastically introduced him. ¡°How can I do that? I¡¯ll just call you brother bull.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. These people were really enthusiastic. It had been a long time since he had felt such an atmosphere. He had only felt it when he was with some mercenaries at the beginning of his training. ¡°Although the position of a mercenary group is low, they are also bold and not so scheming ¡­¡± Chapter 565 - 565 The Division of Immortal 565 The Division of Immortal-Foundation Levels Lin Mo laughed in his heart as he enjoyed the food made from spirit herbs. As they chatted, he found out about the background of these people. The black mine mercenary group had a total of 3000 people, with three leaders. All of them were first-stage immortal-foundation experts. ¡°By the way, what¡¯s little brother¡¯s name? I haven¡¯t asked for it.¡± A middle-aged mercenary asked. The strength that Lin Mo had displayed was at the seventh sky of Nirvana stage. On this warship, they belonged to the weakest group and would not be taken seriously. ¡°I¡¯m Yan Rong, just a wandering cultivator.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. ¡®When I¡¯m out, I¡¯ll borrow Yan Rong¡¯s name. He doesn¡¯t know anyway ¡­¡¯ After saying so, the warship gradually accelerated and finally entered a spatial tunnel. A strong spatial fluctuation swept over. ¡°You¡¯re finally out. If you want to see our great leader, then come with us into the mountains.¡± After they got off the battleship, no one patrolled. After all, they had to pay the fee before they entered the dead area star sea ¡­ ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Mo nodded. It was better to have someone lead the way than to walk around on his own. These mercenaries were very friendly, and Lin Mo believed them easily. As they laughed and chatted along the way, they went deep into the mountain range and finally came to a high-grade spirit Kuangqu. The old bull was very talkative and chatted with Lin Mo along the way. When they arrived at the entrance of the spirit mine, the person guarding the place was an immortal stage mighty figure. ¡°Old bull, not bad today. You managed to trick a Nirvana Stage 7th Sky into coming. With this kind of strength, you can mine quite a number of ores.¡± The major power said. Hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned. Dupe? He turned to look at the people behind him and found that these people had changed their previous kindness and were sneering. hehe, little brother Yan Rong, Didn¡¯t I tell you before? a little kid like you who has just come out to train is the easiest to be deceived. The old bull smiled and said without a care. While they were talking, the immortal-Foundation expert took out a hundred high-grade spirit stones and handed them to the old bull and the others. He waved his hand to dismiss them. to think that I thought I was lucky to be able to get some information as soon as I arrived ¡­ Lin Mo was speechless. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re going to mine for spirit ores.¡± That immortal stage expert snorted coldly and raised his hand to grab Lin Mo. He was very strong, and the fact that he was able to guard the spirit mine here was evident. Seeing that old cow and the rest were about to leave, Lin Mo stopped suppressing himself and the spirit Qi in his body exploded. The aura of the first-step immortal-Foundation expert was released, forcing that person to retreat. His speed was extremely fast, and he arrived in front of the old bull and the others in an instant. He used his fingers as a sword and casually slashed down, killing a few people. Old cow was left alone with his throat grabbed by Lin Mo. ¡°You made me happy for nothing.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were sharp. The immortal stage expert behind him attacked. Sensing Lin Mo¡¯s powerful combat strength, he used his Dao fire to attack. However, Lin Mo had already killed the old bull in the next moment. He turned around and threw out a beam of sword Qi. ¡°Bang!¡± The Dao fire was extinguished. Lin Mo swept his leg out, but the other party crossed his arms in an attempt to block. ¡°Crack.¡± After a crisp sound, the man screamed in pain as his hands were covered in blood. Lin Mo¡¯s physical strength had been tempered by the heavenly Tribulation and was already extremely terrifying. Just one move was enough to reduce this person¡¯s combat strength. wind void, come quickly. We¡¯ve encountered a tough one. He¡¯s also a powerful being. Just as Lin Mo was about to give chase, he heard a whooshing sound from behind him. A flaming spear was piercing toward him. ¡°A rank 1 Earth Class magic tool?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. Was that all he could do? The Northern Land should have a lot of Earth Class weapons. Why did this guy only have one? ¡°Who are you? how dare you invade the Gongsun family¡¯s mine?¡± The person who attacked was ruthless. After exchanging a few blows with Lin Mo, he asked in a stern voice. ¡°Swindler, go to hell.¡± Lin Mo used his fingers as a sword and used his physical body to block the earth-grade magic artifact. The other party was two immortal-foundation experts, and under their joint attack, their battle prowess skyrocketed. ¡°This person called wind void has walked very far on the first step of the immortal-Foundation Stage ¡­¡± He raised his hand, but the spear did not move an inch further. At the same time, with his body as the center, devouring power was released. He activated his God devouring body, and the attacks from the two of them instantly disappeared. ¡°Pfft.¡± Wind void was shocked. He realized that it was already too late for him to retreat after his technique was devoured. He lowered his head and saw Lin Mo¡¯s fingers piercing through his heart like a sword. Such a terrifying physical body made him doubt the identity of this person. ¡°You ¡­ Who was it? this was ¡­ The Gongsun family ¡­¡± Wind void¡¯s expression changed as he muttered. In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s fingers had pierced through the space between his brows, and his soul was destroyed. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo kicked wind void¡¯s corpse away and killed another person, sending blood and flesh flying. Behind them, in the spirit mine, many miners were shouting. Some people had even begun to attack. There were still many guards inside, but at this moment, the two leaders had been killed, and more than a hundred people were rioting. ¡°Immortal stage?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Among those resisting, there was another person who had the same cultivation base as him, also at the first-stage of immortal-Foundation. It was because of this person¡¯s existence that the slaves were able to resist and kill the guards. He didn¡¯t make any more moves. Instead, he grabbed a guard and asked him about the situation. Then, he had the guard lead the way and they arrived in front of a warehouse. my Lord, this is the warehouse. The top rank spirit stones were dug up here. 15 minutes later, Lin Mo left with the guard. He had many questions to ask. There were 130000 upper spiritual stones in the system space. The Gongsun family would come to collect them every 10 days. ¡°Sir, please let me go. I don¡¯t dare to return to the Gongsun family. I won¡¯t betray you.¡± The guard said in a trembling voice. He was worried about losing his life after being taken away by Lin Mo. ¡°If you want to live, answer my questions truthfully.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold. A few minutes later, Lin Mo raised his hand and slit the man¡¯s neck. ¡°A half-step Almighty?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. He asked a lot of questions, and it was only now that he finally understood the situation in the northern lands. The immortal Foundation was divided into nine steps. The person on the first step could only be considered a half-step Almighty, and the next step was the Almighty ¡­ After Almighties were Kings, then quasi-sages, sages, great sages, absolute sages, Emperor-to-be, and great emperors ¡­ ¡°Di ¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered in a low voice. He recalled the owner of the Dao seeking garden. It had once said that its master was an Emperor. I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the Emperor-to-be or the great emperor ¡­ The immortal-Foundation was divided into different levels, and each level had nine minor levels. That wind void from before was at the first stage of immortal-Foundation, a half-step Almighty at the fifth firmament. His battle prowess wasn¡¯t weak. However, his status was a little special. He was the grandson of a guest elder of the Gongsun family. Although he was not favored, he was still a direct descendant. The mine was destroyed by Lin Mo, but fortunately, Lin Mo had hidden his aura and appearance, so it was not easy to find him. the most powerful force in Yunzhou is the Gongsun family. It seems that I have to find a way to leave ¡­ Lin Mo muttered to himself. He planned to go to the city first and leave through the teleportation formation ¡­ Chapter 566 - 566 Sealing Off the City For A Search 566 Sealing Off the City For A Search Sealing off the city for a search After a short while, he returned to the city in front of him. According to the guard, this was Languang city. There was a very powerful and terrifying formation on the city wall. The city was Grand, and the buildings inside were also very magnificent. The traffic was heavy, and it seemed extremely prosperous. does anyone want a magical artifact? an earth-grade magical artifact that was just dug out from an ancient ruin. It¡¯s the real deal. As soon as he walked in, Lin Mo heard many people shouting and arguing about the price. He took out his bamboo hat and cloak and put them on. Just as he was about to leave, he was surrounded by people. Many guards in the city were mobilized. There were also quite a few people who had been found. They had all entered the city with him, and there had been less than five minutes between the two. This surprised him. Were the guards of the Gongsun family so cautious and conscientious that they could confirm it so quickly? ¡°Take off your bamboo hat. Please cooperate with the investigation.¡± A guard commander said courteously. However, the weapon in his hand emitted a cold aura. He had come before the martial arts. If someone really did not cooperate, blood would probably be spilled today. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Mo took off his bamboo hat and revealed a puzzled expression. He was certain that no one had seen him when he had taken care of the two people, so he had not hidden his appearance. ¡°7th Sky of Nirvana stage.¡± When the surrounding guards saw Lin Mo¡¯s realm, they all sneered. With his strength, he should indeed hide it. Otherwise, he might be targeted and lose his life. he didn¡¯t hide ¡­ It¡¯s fine, you can go over.¡± The guard commander looked at Lin Mo carefully. After confirming that Lin Mo was not hiding his strength, he let him pass. As for his question, no one answered it. In response, he smiled helplessly, put on his bamboo hat, and went deep into the city. brother, are you coming to the auction? it¡¯s a newly opened auction of a thousand medicines. There¡¯s a discount for the first opening. The handling fee is one percent. As they were walking, someone came to Lin Mo¡¯s side and patiently introduced him. This was a young cultivator whose cultivation stage was lower than his own. He was at the fifth sky of Nirvana stage, which could be said to be the lowest level in Languang city. ¡°I¡¯m a little interested. Tell me about it.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued when he heard that there would be an auction. It just so happened that he still had 130000 upper spiritual stones on him, so he could buy it. the auction will be held tonight. There are four items for auction now, and we are still missing one. Does fellow Daoist have any treasures that you would like to auction? ¡± The man said, a little embarrassed. ¡°It turns out that your auction house has not even gathered all the auction items ¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. It seemed that it was not easy to gain a foothold in a big city. ¡°Follow me. If you¡¯re willing to auction it, I can give you some small items first.¡± The man pulled Lin Mo to a corner and took out a pitch-black stone from his spatial ring. Other than that, there were also some ancient jades and even demonic beast bone Gu. It was a huge mess. ¡°You ¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. This was just a pile of trash. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation, not even runes. He used his soul power to scan the area, including the stone. He also checked the interior of the stone, but there was no effect. ¡°How is it, friend? is there anyone you like?¡± The man said carefully, indicating that he would give everything to Lin Mo as long as he was willing to attend the auction. alright, I¡¯ll go. Give me the address, I¡¯ll go over tonight. Lin Mo chuckled. There was an auction to be held, so he naturally had to go and join in the fun. As for the auction item, he had an earth grade magic weapon in his hands, but he couldn¡¯t take it out now. The long spear was a magic weapon of the Gongsun family, so it was hard to determine if there were any restrictions inside. Moreover, even if he didn¡¯t, he might be in trouble if word got out that he was selling it. really? that¡¯s great. Thank you, friend. Please keep it. The man was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he gave Lin Mo an address and stuffed all the items into his hands. After storing it in the system space, Lin Mo turned around and left. [ nine-orifice spirit stone fragment, no longer useful, no grade ] [ absolute beginning jade stone. Its spiritual energy has been exhausted over the years. It has lost all of its spirituality. No grade. ] [ heavenly Ice Snow crystal, divinity has been absorbed, no use, no grade ] The system¡¯s voice rang out, causing Lin Mo to stop in his tracks. He had originally thought that they were just some ordinary items, but after putting them into the system space, he was a little surprised. ¡°Nine apertures spirit stone, absolute beginning jade stone, sky Ice Snow crystal, these are all heaven-grade divine items.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart ached. These might have been treasures countless years ago, but they were now useless. there¡¯s still soil on top of these things, which means they were just dug out. That person just now might have found some ancient ruins. Lin Mo muttered to himself as he walked on the streets. He found a hotel to stay in and set up an array in the room to prevent others from peeking and disturbing him. He took out wind void¡¯s spear, summoned his Dao fire, and began to refine it. This was an earth grade magic weapon, so it was extremely difficult to smelt it. However, it was an extremely simple matter for Lin Mo. After all, when he was in the Nirvana stage, he had destroyed an earth grade magic artifact. Under Lin Mo¡¯s smelting, the spear gradually changed shape. The tip of the spear melted and fused into the body of the spear. The patterns on it were destroyed and Lin Mo forged it into an iron rod without any craftsmanship. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t be able to tell this way.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This magic item was still at rank 1 Earth Class, but the runes inside had been destroyed, and it was about to fall out of this level. In order to be safe, he had to do this. Otherwise, he would be in danger if the Gongsun family found out. That night, Lin Mo went to the auction house according to the address. Although it had just opened, there were still many people who came to see if there were any treasures. sigh, I really don¡¯t understand. The teleportation formation has been banned. It¡¯s so strange. ¡°That¡¯s right, I still have to go to spirit city to do business.¡± Lin Mo was welcomed into the auction house. At the same time, he heard the complaints of the people around him. ¡°Languang city has been sealed?¡± He was shocked. Was it because he had killed wind void? ¡°Friend, you¡¯re finally here. Did you bring the auction item?¡± The person who had previously bid for Lin Mo¡¯s treasure appeared and welcomed Lin Mo warmly. ¡°I brought this, don¡¯t dislike it.¡± Lin Mo took out the smelting rod. ¡°Black iron rod, rank 1 Earth Class. Although the workmanship is rough, it can still be used.¡± Lin Mo laughed. When the young man saw Lin Mo take out the rod, he was stunned. However, a smile appeared on his face in the next moment. ¡°You¡¯re indeed extraordinary to be able to auction an earth grade magic weapon.¡± He accepted it happily, indicating that he would definitely be able to get a good price for Lin Mo. Sitting in the arranged seat, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was a little rough. Languang city was sealed off and he couldn¡¯t leave. If he allowed these people to search, he would definitely be found out. I have to think of a way. It¡¯s not a good idea to keep staying here. As he was thinking, the auction began. The auctioneer was still the same young man, which surprised Lin Mo. welcome to the auction. Let¡¯s start the auction now. The first item is a rank 1 Earth realm magic weapon, the dark Iron rod ¡­ Chapter 567 - 567 The Mysterious Girl 567 The Mysterious Girl He was even more surprised that the first treasure to be auctioned was provided by Lin Mo. In such a small auction, why did the earth grade magic artifact appear directly instead of being the finale? ¡°An earth grade magic weapon? are you kidding me?¡± Most of the people who came to the auction were in the Nirvana realm. Although earth grade magic weapons were not rare, there were countless people like them in Cloud State. Naturally, it was impossible for everyone to have an earth grade magic artifact. Now that the magic tools had appeared, many people were excited and wanted to bid for them. ¡°Black iron rod, a rank 1 Earth realm magic weapon. The starting price is 3000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The young man brandished the black iron rod without any introduction, because the appearance of the black iron rod was really not flattering. Even so, there were still quite a number of people participating in the bidding, and the price rose sharply. Very quickly, it reached 8000 upper spiritual stones. ¡°Deal. Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the dark Iron rod for 9300 upper spiritual stones. The young man dropped the auction hammer and winked at Lin Mo as he spoke, looking a little playful. Lin Mo was stunned. This young man¡¯s temperament? But why did he feel strange? The transaction was completed on the spot. The buyer was also very decisive. He took the black iron rod and left immediately. He was not willing to stay. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the dark-iron rod. ] [ Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rank 2 Earth Class magic weapon, Dao Spirit staff.] Lin Mo did not think much about obtaining an insignificant magic tool. However, he felt uneasy as he looked at the young man on the stage. ¡°Oh, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. I won¡¯t be accompanying you guys. Goodbye.¡± Suddenly, before the second item was brought out, the young man suddenly spoke. A jade talisman appeared in his hand and he crushed it gently. In an instant, the void trembled and his figure gradually became illusory and blurry. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was strong. He locked onto this person immediately and was shocked. He saw the person¡¯s true appearance. It was a woman. He took a quick glance and didn¡¯t take a closer look. The other party seemed to have sensed him as well. She winked at him playfully, and in the next moment, her figure disappeared. ¡°BOOM!¡± At this moment, the entire auction hall was lifted, the roof exploded, and the walls turned into dust. Many people were trembling, not understanding what had happened. The earth trembled. Lin Mo raised his head and discovered that countless armored horsemen had appeared in his surroundings. They were all riding demonic beasts, and each one of them was abnormally fierce. They looked fierce, tall, and mighty. On their backs were knights holding spears and looking at the auction with sharp eyes. ¡°Unicorns, their bloodline density is very high. I didn¡¯t expect them to have been trained to this extent.¡± Lin Mo muttered. Who were these people looking for? There were more than a hundred unicorn cavalry. They had surrounded the area, and behind them, an armored knight walked up. The unicorn he was riding on neighed, and a powerful pressure spread. ¡°Dammit, I¡¯m late. Is that her true body? she actually dares to hold an auction here¡­¡± The unicorn Rider said coldly. He coldly looked at the crowd in the auction house, raised his hand, took out a scroll, and spread it out in front of everyone. It was a picture scroll with a woman drawn on it. ¡°Was this the person who held the auction for you just now?¡± In the picture scroll, a young girl was full of spiritual aura. She held a plum blossom in her hand and smiled very moving. Her eyes were bright, and she was so beautiful that nothing could compare. This woman was no older than 20 years old. She was somewhat playful and a little green, appearing very lively. However, even though it was just a painting, the aura it emitted was not to be underestimated. He had not seen the main body, but he gave off a very powerful feeling. Ordinary people would not be his match. ¡°My Lord, that¡¯s not the case. It¡¯s a young man.¡± Someone carefully stepped forward and told him what had happened. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. A cold sneer came from the unicorn rider¡¯s mouth. The man who had just spoken felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground, spitting out blood. Everyone¡¯s expression changed. This Unicorn Rider had such terrifying strength, and such a dense killing intent. ¡°Sir, please spare my life.¡± Some of them knelt down and begged for mercy. They had only come to attend an auction and had not expected to encounter such a thing. ¡°If you see this person or feel his aura anywhere else, you must report it. You will be rewarded handsomely.¡± Hearing this, everyone shook their heads. They would definitely have an impression of such an intelligent girl. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat. That person might have already escaped from Languang city. With her abilities, it¡¯s not impossible for her to escape.¡± Someone behind said, ordering the unicorn cavalry to retreat. Hearing this, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he suddenly realized that the reason Languang city was sealed off was not because of him¡­ ¡°Maybe that guest elder doesn¡¯t know that his grandson is dead¡­¡± Lin Mo pursed his lips. He had been on tenterhooks all this time and did not expect such an outcome¡­ ¡°In that case, we can leave Languang city, right?¡± He suddenly thought that wind void might not have been discovered dead yet. He still had time to escape. The only thing that left him with a lingering fear was that the girl might have seen through his extraordinariness. He didn¡¯t know whether it was his strength or his God devouring body¡­ But without a doubt, that girl¡¯s strength must be very strong. Maybe she was like him, with unparalleled battle strength, a peerless genius. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that I¡¯ve just arrived and I¡¯m already going to have to fight with such a person?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He followed the crowd and left the auction house. He returned to his residence and waited for an opportunity to leave. Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He noticed that something was wrong in his room. There was a familiar aura inside, and it was not concealed. He suddenly pushed open the door and saw a small tree that was half a meter tall. When he walked closer, he saw that it was a small tree carved out of stone. This scene made Lin Mo¡¯s heart throb. He quickly put it away in the system space and used his Dao fire to erase all the aura here. That young girl had been here before and had even placed such a treasure here. If he had not put it away in time and let it release some of its aura, he would have been discovered. ¡°The people here, don¡¯t act rashly. Accept the investigation.¡± A familiar voice came, and a few Unicorn Riders flew over, looking around. In the end, his gaze stopped on Lin Mo. The person in the lead had a jade talisman in his hand. The Jade talisman glowed, but it was weakening. Soon, it returned to its original state. ¡°What¡¯s going on? His aura disappeared. Is he lying?¡± They were silent. The Knight looked at Lin Mo and said in a deep voice,¡±Don¡¯t act rashly. Wait for us to call someone to check.¡± Lin Mo felt as if he had been enveloped by a pressure and locked onto. Any movement he made would be detected immediately. He pretended to be scared to confuse the crowd. Half an hour later, Thunder resounded from the distant horizon. The buildings of Languang city were shaking, and a terrifying aura filled the air, causing many people¡¯s hearts to palpitate. A man appeared at the end of their line of sight. His speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. He appeared here in the next second. Chapter 568 - 568 Void Spirit Sword 568 Void Spirit Sword ¡°BOOM!¡± The heavens and earth rumbled, and the man¡¯s body became hazy. His facial features could not be seen clearly, and his body was wrapped in chaotic mist, flowing with a touch of immortal light. Lin Mo stared at this person, his heart filled with shock. This was a Supreme expert, a second-stage Immortal-Foundation expert. Just the pressure it emitted made people want to submit. His body trembled slightly as he couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He bent his knees. If he continued to hide his cultivation, he would really have to kneel down ¡­ ¡°Damn it ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The difference of one stage was actually so great. He could sense that this was also a young expert. He was about the same age as him, but the power he possessed was enough to make one despair. ¡°You have some talent, but it¡¯s not enough.¡± The man said. Lin Mo could not see what he was doing in the chaotic mist, but he could feel a sense of contempt. ¡°It¡¯s not him. That person was here before and wanted to confuse me.¡± As soon as he said that, the Unicorn Cavalry all withdrew their pressure. Since this person had spoken, it was enough to prove that the person in front of him had nothing to do with that person. He came and left in a hurry. These people came quickly and left quickly. The man also left. He punched through the void and walked in calmly, disappearing from everyone¡¯s sight. Lin Mo watched them leave, not feeling any sense of defeat. His heart was filled with the motivation to cultivate. He believed that when he reached that man¡¯s realm, his battle prowess would definitely be even more powerful. After all this, Lin Mo shut himself in and waited for the teleportation formation in Languang city to activate in the hotel. However, he had underestimated the stubbornness of these people. There were more and more Unicorn Cavalry patrolling these days, and even Lin Mo had been interrogated many times. There was no doubt that these people were here to find the young girl. ¡°How did she offend the Gongsun family? why is she so wanted? ¡± Lin Mo frowned. Lin Mo could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Although Lin Mo was out and about, people were allowed to enter Languang city but not leave. However, the order within the city was not broken. He used spirit stones to buy some spirit herbs and ores and sent them to the auction house for auction. He was sitting in the hall of the auction house, quietly looking at the auction items on the stage. ¡°It¡¯s better not to set up an auction house. Let¡¯s just auction it ¡­¡± The Northern Continent was too big, and Lin Mo would not stay there forever. He planned to stay there and use the teleportation portal to head to the southern land. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a tier 3 Earth Grade magic long sword. It was forged by Master Long Kong from Languang city.¡± ¡°As we all know, Master Long Kong¡¯s forging level is number one in the entire Languang city. No one in the nearby cities can match up to him. ¡°The void Spirit sword contains the laws of space and can travel through the void. Whether it¡¯s in battle or in escape, it¡¯s a rare treasure. The auctioneer tried his best to introduce the sword. Lin Mo¡¯s interest was immediately piqued when he saw the sword. He was currently worried that he didn¡¯t have a suitable magic tool. Although the longsword¡¯s grade was a little low, its ability to travel through the void was still very tempting. After buying it, he would find some ores and refine it properly. Perhaps it would be able to raise its grade. At that time, when the auction was over, the treasures would definitely be even better ¡­ ¡°Good, good treasure.¡± ¡°Hurry up and tell me the auction price, this treasure is really rare.¡± Many people were interested and participated in the bidding. Even Lin Mo was the same, looking forward to the auction. Void Spirit sword, the starting price is 70000 upper spiritual stones. The auctioneer¡¯s hammer fell. Such a high starting price made some people frown. This price was a little too high. Even Lin Mo frowned. Out of the 70000 high-grade spirit stones, he only had around 100000 high-grade spirit stones left. After all, some of the treasures he had bought were not cheap. After auctioning them off, he had lost more than 30000 upper spiritual stones. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones, so I want to add some more items to the auction. Do you guys want them?¡± Lin Mo said to the maidservant beside him. He had been visiting the auction house for more than ten days and had been arranged to stay in a private room with a dedicated maidservant to serve him. Mr. Lin Mo, that¡¯s not a problem. Give me the treasure and I¡¯ll bring it for appraisal. The maidservant understood Lin Mo¡¯s intentions. He was dumbfounded when he saw Lin Mo take out more than ten earth-tier treasures. ¡°This ¡­¡± The maidservant was shocked. Instead of taking the treasure, she took out a jade talisman and injected spiritual qi into it. Not long after, a middle-aged manager rushed over. Mr. Lin Mo, you¡¯re really a distinguished guest of our auction house. Have you taken a fancy to this Void Spirit sword? ¡± The manager was very reasonable and knew Lin Mo¡¯s motive for auctioning it at this time. ¡°Please help me appraise it. It¡¯s not easy to find a treasure that I like. Lin Mo smiled as a form of greeting.¡± if Mr. Lin Mo wants it, I¡¯ll sell it to you for 150000. The manager was ftier. This Void Spirit sword was a treasure of their auction house and could be operated internally. ¡°150000. But I don¡¯t have enough spirit stones. You can evaluate the value of these treasures. Lin Mo nodded. It was good enough that he could successfully obtain the void Spirit sword.¡± Very quickly, the manager left with the treasures, and the auction for the void Spirit sword began. However, a stranger appeared in the hall. He bid casually and overpowered everyone else. In the end, he bought the void Spirit sword for 180000. It was naturally someone arranged by the auction house. Not long after, the void Spirit sword appeared in front of Lin Mo. ¡°What a good sword.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed to see the void Spirit sword unsheathed. He did not expect to see such a treasure during his stay. ¡°It¡¯s good that you like it. The manager asked me to ask you if you agree to auction your treasures in batches and leave some for the next auction. The maidservant asked respectfully after delivering the void Spirit sword. ¡°No problem. You may leave.¡± After sending the maidservant away, Lin Mo kept the void Spirit sword in the system space. ¡°Tier 3 earth realm magic weapon, Void Spirit sword. It is not made of time and space essence gold enough, causing its tier to drop by one. ¡°The Dao laws inside are dense. The sword that Master Long Kong was trying to make might be a tier 4 or even tier 5 Earth Grade spiritual sword.¡± Through observation and the system¡¯s appraisal, Lin Mo finally determined the value of the void Spirit sword. 150,000 Yuan was a huge profit for him. If he did a good promotion, it might be able to sell for more than 200000 Yuan ¡­ ¡°Space Spirit adamantine. I remember that there was an auction some time ago ¡­¡± ¡°In addition, if you add some Wind Spirit stones to assist you, you can reforge this spiritual sword.¡± Lin Mo concluded. However, that was the only thing he could do. Only a true Master blacksmith could perform the sacrificial refining. With his current strength, he could at most refine a tier 1 or tier 2 Earth Grade magic tool. ¡°Ask the auction house to help me find the materials. Then, I¡¯ll ask Master Long Kong to help me make it.¡± It just so happened that the Master was in Languang city, and he heard that he had to prepare the materials himself if he wanted to ask him to refine a magic tool. In addition, he would also be charged a large sum of spirit stones as a reward ¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a level 3 earth grade ore, black lead silver ] [ Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining tier 5 Earth Grade dark gold essence ] On the auction stage, the treasure that Lin Mo had just taken out was presented, and it was even auctioned off at a high price ¡­ Chapter 569 - 569 A New Body 569 A New Body-tempering Method ¡°Dark Gold Essence. If I use this as a reward, master long Kong should be satisfied.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and called for his maidservant to state his request. ¡°This¡­¡± The maid was in a difficult position. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? you guys don¡¯t have any either?¡± Lin Mo frowned. The Space Spirit Adamantine could not be used without it. Otherwise, he would not be able to refine it again. ¡°It¡¯s not that there aren¡¯t any, but you said it a little too late.¡± The maidservant helplessly told Lin Mo what had just happened. ¡°Master long Kong is here?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This auction house was the largest in Languang city. They would hold auctions every day and the space spirit pure gold in their inventory had just been reserved by master long Kong¡­ ¡°Can you help me pass on a message? I¡¯m willing to use the Dark Gold Essence to exchange for it.¡± Lin Mo quickly said. ¡°Dark Gold Essence?¡± The maidservant was shocked and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. What kind of identity did this person have to be able to get his hands on such a rare metal? [ Congratulations, host, you have successfully auctioned off the level 3 earth grade thousand year dark metal. ] [ Successfully triggered a 9000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining Tier 6 Earth Grade 10000-year yellow iron. ] As soon as the maidservant left, another transaction was completed on the stage, and Lin Mo also received a return. Ten thousand year yellow iron was an extremely rare ore. Even if it was used to forge a magic weapon, it could be forged into a Tier 4 Earth Grade weapon, which showed its value. ¡°I hope I can get it.¡± Lin Mo prayed in his heart. The value of the Obsidian Adamantine and the Space Spirit Adamantine were similar, but the latter was rarer, so its price had always been high. If master long Kong was not willing to take the dark gold, he could only take out the Yellow Earth Iron that he had just obtained. However, he would have to add another condition, which was to help him reforge the Void Spirit Sword. The auction continued, and Lin Mo¡¯s treasures were auctioned off. However, these were the ones that the system had given him. If they were to auction it now, they would only be able to get spirit stones. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and a maidservant walked in. ¡°How is it?¡± Lin Mo quickly asked. The maidservant¡¯s expression was not very good as she said,¡± master long Kong isn¡¯t willing to trade. Also, he wants to buy your Dark Gold Essence. He asked me to ask you for the price. Not only were they unable to complete the transaction for Lin Mo, but they had also caused others to target his treasure. This was the negligence of the auction house. Soon, the manager arrived and asked if Lin Mo was willing to sell the black gold essence. ¡°Please help me pass on a message. I have ten-thousand-year-old yellow iron here. I want to exchange it for the space spirit pure gold and ask him to help me reforge the Void Spirit Sword.¡± Very quickly, the manager returned and left the private room with Lin Mo. ¡°Mr. Lin Mo, the total amount of spirit stones from this auction is 370000. After deducting the 150000 from the Void Spirit Sword and the handling fee of 18500, you can keep the remaining 201500.¡± The maidservant handed over a beast-skin belt, which contained the remaining spirit stones. ¡°Mr. Lin Mo, master long Kong has agreed to your conditions. He has the wind Spirit stones needed for the sacrificial refining and said that he¡¯s giving them to you.¡± They came to a luxuriously decorated room, and the maidservant pushed the door open and left. ¡°Oh, this is the person who won the Void Spirit Sword? He¡¯s so young.¡± Lin Mo had just arrived when an old voice sounded with a hint of surprise. The manager came out to welcome Lin Mo and introduced both parties to each other. ¡°I am Lin Mo. Greetings, master long Kong.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and bowed. Although this master long Kong had a head full of white hair, his blood Qi was very strong. Although his voice was old, it was strong. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite. Since little friend can take out ten thousand years old yellow iron, you must not be an ordinary person. This old man won¡¯t ask where you got it from.¡± ¡°I agree to the exchange.¡± Master long Kong smiled so widely that his eyes almost formed a slit. Seeing this, Lin Mo could not help but criticize the old man. The ten-thousand-year-old yellow iron could be exchanged for two portions of space spirit pure gold, but this guy wanted to make up for it with some Wind Spirit stones¡­ ¡°Since senior is here, why don¡¯t you help junior refine it on the spot?¡± Lin Mo asked tentatively. In any case, the materials were all here now, and the cauldron that the old man was using for the sacrificial refining should be on him. ¡°No problem, but I¡¯d like to ask little friend to first take out theTen-Thousand-Year Yellow Ironand let this old man take a look.¡± Master long Kong said with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you, but this ten-thousand-year yellow iron is really precious. I¡¯ve never seen it before, and I want to broaden my horizons today.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo had no choice but to take out theTen-Thousand-Year Yellow Ironthat he had just obtained. ¡°Swish!¡± As soon as it appeared, a wisp of black and yellow energy was released. The ten-thousand-year yellow iron allowed a wisp of black and yellow energy inside. Although it was rare, it was the best item to refine a Supreme treasure. ¡°Good treasure¡­¡± Master long Kong grabbed it. The palm-sized Yellow Earth Iron glowed softly, making one feel relaxed and happy. ¡°This old man has never seen such a complete dark and yellow qi. I¡¯ve really hit the jackpot today¡­¡± He caressed the yellow iron, infatuated. ¡°Master¡­¡± Lin Mo reminded him and woke him up. ¡°Cough, cough. Sorry, I lost my composure. I¡¯ll help you refine it now.¡± Master long Kong coughed. In this room, he took out a cauldron and put in the Dao fire. The burning aura spread, and Lin Mo and the manager quickly retreated. ¡°A mighty figure, and one at the ninth heaven.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This person¡¯s aura was terrifying, and he was only one step away from the king of the third step. ¡°Hehe, please wait a moment, young friend. The refining process will take about two days.¡± Lin Mo nodded and observed master long Kong¡¯s refinement of the Void Spirit Sword. Lin Mo was greatly touched by the wondrous technique. He also had the blacksmith¡¯s legacy, which was given to him by the system. It was a fine product, but he had been too busy cultivating to read it seriously. Now that he saw someone refining it, he was a little tempted. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s not good to bite off more than you can chew¡­¡± After observing for a few hours, Lin Mo shook his head. Smithing magic tools was not an impossible path, but it did not suit him. ¡°It¡¯s possible. I have the God Devouring Body. My body is my strongest attack.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The God Devouring Body was extremely demanding on one¡¯s physical body, and every realm was an extreme breakthrough. In this world, there were very few who could match his physical body. ¡°If I use my physical body as a magic weapon and temper it with the Dao fire, can I become stronger?¡± He thought about it and decided that he could try it out when he cultivated his body in the future. However, in the forging of magic tools, the Dao fire¡¯s function was to melt ores and materials into the magic tool itself, so it needed to be calcined. However, these ores could not be integrated into the human body. It was possible to absorb the spirituality and divinity within, but the rest were just impurities to the human body. ¡°Wait a minute, what if we were to smelt spiritual medicine?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of something. If Lin Mo were to be refined into his physical body, he might become even more powerful¡­ ¡°We can try. This path might work.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had been enlightened, but it did not feel like it. This kind of feeling was indescribable¡­ Chapter 570 - 570 Tier 7 Earth Grade 570 Tier 7 Earth Grade The temperature in the room continued to rise, but it did not affect Lin Mo. He stared unblinkingly at the Void Spirit Sword that was being refined in the furnace. This spiritual sword was originally made by Master Long Kong. Now that he had enough materials, the success rate would be greatly increased if he refined it again. At this moment, the Space Spirit Adamantine and Wind Spirit Stone had completely melted and were evenly wrapped around the Void Spirit Sword. ¡°BOOM!¡± The buzzing sound of space laws could be heard. Due to the addition of materials, its internal structure was extremely unstable and could explode at any time. Once the energy was out of balance, the Void Spirit Sword would explode, and its power would not be any less than the self-destruction of a half-step immortal. ¡°Phew, only one step left.¡± Master Long Kong maintained his dao fire and stopped forming hand seals. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at Lin Mo and said, ¡°I¡¯ve used up a lot of energy and need half an hour to recover. At that time, I¡¯ll carry out the final blending. If I succeed, the Void Spirit Sword will sublimate and reach the level of a tier 7 earth grade magic tool. ¡°Of course, if you fail, the Void Spirit Sword will self-destruct, and the materials and the magic weapon itself will be destroyed.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo was a little nervous. It was not easy to find a magic weapon that he was interested in, and he could not let it be destroyed just like that. ¡°Senior can do it with ease, junior is already mentally prepared,¡± Lin Mo nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, Master Long Kong closed his eyes and started to recover his energy. Half an hour passed by quietly. Master Long Kong opened his eyes. He had fully recovered from his exhaustion. He squinted his eyes and raised his hand to shoot out streaks of fire, heating up the already-cooled furnace. The Void Spirit Sword had also become very unstable at this time. Energy kept flowing out, and it could explode at any time. ¡°Buzz.¡± A surge of spatial energy was released, causing the cauldron to tremble as if it could not withstand the pressure. Lin Mo circulated his spirit qi slightly to resist this force and at the same time, he prepared his defenses. If the Void Spirit Sword exploded, he would not be injured by the explosion. His gaze was fixed on the Void Spirit Sword in the furnace. This was the magic artifact that he was going to use next, and he was very worried that he would fail. Faced with Master Long Kong¡¯s mediation, the Void Spirit Sword was extremely uncooperative and kept struggling in the furnace. Its power continued to leak out, but it was quickly refined back into his body by Master Long Kong¡¯s Dao fire, and the cycle continued. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Master Long Kong snorted as he felt the resistance getting more and more intense. An even stronger power exploded from his body. At that moment, the dao law of space appeared within the cauldron and started to suppress the Void Spirit Sword. ¡°This furnace is at least a tier 9 earth grade magic tool.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This Master Long Kong was indeed extraordinary. To be able to become a forge grandMaster, he must have some foundation. ¡°It¡¯s almost done,¡± He was overjoyed. As Master Long Kong exerted his strength, the furnace gave off a strong light and the Void Spirit Sword was completely suppressed. In an instant, a dazzling silver light exploded as the Void Spirit Sword was formed. The dao law of space filled the air and engulfed the entire auction house. ¡°What a domineering spirit sword. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve forged such a magic tool¡­¡± Seeing this, Master Long Kong¡¯s joy was no less than Lin Mo¡¯s. He grabbed the Void Spirit Sword out of the furnace. With his strength, suppressing the Void Spirit Sword was a piece of cake. Now that he had successfully refined it, he no longer had to be careful and worry about destroying the spirit sword. Lin Mo looked at the struggling Void Spirit Sword. He could vaguely feel that once Master Long Kong let go, it would tear open the void and escape. ¡°This magic tool already has some consciousness of its own and won¡¯t be easily subdued by others.¡± Master Long Kong weighed it in his hand and felt that the Void Spirit Sword¡¯s resistance had weakened. He then passed it to Lin Mo. ¡°My young friend, the void spiritual sword has been completed. It is now tier 7 earth grade.¡± It was only tier 3 earth grade at first, but after adding enough space spirit adamantine and wind Spirit stone, it had improved so much. He had thought that the void spiritual sword could only be upgraded to tier 5 earth grade. Now, it was at rank 7 earth grade and her sword was sharp. Even he was tempted. ¡°Many thanks, senior. This Yellow Earth Iron was well spent.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Lin Mo hurriedly expressed his thanks. The Void Spirit Sword, which was bursting with silver light, appeared in his hand, and spatial power filled his body. He simply waved it a few times, and the sword Qi He released actually cut open the void. The sword qi lasted for more than ten seconds. During this time, it kept preventing the void from healing, which showed how terrifying the sword qi was. Lin Mo released his power and gradually suppressed the spiritual sword, causing it to retract its silver glow and the spatial power. He looked at the Void Spirit Sword in his hand. Although it had an ancient and simple design, the power contained within it had a hint of spatial charm. It was very mysterious and made people yearn for it. On the body of the sword, a few fine runes appeared, and a silver light flickered. Its momentum was weakened, but once it exploded, it would be earth-shattering. ¡°What a good spirit sword.¡± The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. This Void Spirit Sword was stronger than the Daluo divine sword. It was probably because its main material was space spirit pure gold, which made it more powerful. It was a pity that if he could add a little bit of yellow iron during the refining, it might be able to make it a higher grade. However, he had already given the treasure to Master Long Kong. He would not sell it to him ¡­ what a good spiritual sword. Master Long Kong has created another Masterpiece. It¡¯s admirable. Just as Lin Mo was rejoicing, a hearty laugh was heard. The door that was originally closed was opened at this moment. A young man¡¯s eyes were burning as he walked in. He stared at the Void Spirit Sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand with unconcealed greed. Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed when he saw the person who had suddenly barged in. He looked at the person warily. It wasn¡¯t convenient for him to reveal his identity. Not only did he kill wind void, but he also had the identity of a God Devourer. ¡°Wumo, why are you here?¡± Master Long Kong¡¯s face darkened when he saw the person who had barged in. He looked at the person unkindly. ¡°Young Master Wu Mo, if you barge in like this, it¡¯ll be bad for the family¡¯s reputation and damage the auction house¡¯s reputation.¡± The steward was anxious and had rushed over with his maidservants. After seeing Lin Mo, his face was even more apologetic. haha, I¡¯m really sorry. After all, you guys made a big scene, so I couldn¡¯t help but come over to check it out. The man called Wu Mo laughed, but his eyes were fixed on the Void Spirit Sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°May I ask, Master, are you planning to auction this Void Spirit Sword?¡± Wu Mo still respected Master Long Kong very much. He bowed and at the same time asked how he planned to deal with the Void Spirit Sword. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry, I don¡¯t intend to sell this Void Spirit Sword. Young Master Wumo, please go back.¡± Master Long Kong asked Wu Mo to leave. Lin Mo and Wu Mo were a little surprised by such an answer. The latter was stunned for a moment. Killing intent could be seen in the depths of his eyes. He cupped his fists at Master Long Kong and left with the manager. ¡°Ai¡­¡± As he watched Wu Mo leave, Master Long Kong sighed and looked at Lin Mo apologetically. Chapter 571 - 571 The Progidy Roll and the Hidden Dragon Ranking 571 The Progidy Roll and the Hidden Dragon Ranking Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flickered. It seemed that he was being watched again. Judging from the manager¡¯s attitude just now, this Wu Mo was probably the young master of the family behind this auction house¡­ ¡°An ordinary man is innocent and gets into trouble because of his wealth¡­¡± From Wu Mo¡¯s eyes, he probably already knew that the Void Spirit Sword belonged to him. After all, looking at the manager¡¯s appearance, he should have confessed everything¡­ Lin Mo had no intention of blaming him. They had met by chance, and he had brought him benefits, so he had treated him like a distinguished guest. They were just holding on to what they needed, so they weren¡¯t really friends. Relatively speaking, he was surprised that master Long Kong was willing to come forward. After all, he was in a business relationship with this person. ¡°Young friend, although I don¡¯t know where you¡¯re from, I can feel that you¡¯re not ordinary.¡± ¡°Our deal is over. This is all I can help you with. You¡¯re on your own now.¡± Master Long Kong sighed and kept his furnace. After giving Lin Mo a warning, he turned around and left. Lin Mo nodded and cupped his fists at Master Long Kong before putting away the Void Spirit Sword. He had intended to auction the Void Spirit Sword. However, Wu Mo had been up to no good since the beginning. He didn¡¯t really want to sell the treasure to him¡­ However, Languang City currently only allowed people to enter and not leave, so he could not leave. Who knew, this Void Spirit Sword might really be auctioned off to him¡­ ¡°We¡¯ll see. If the price he offers is right, it¡¯s not impossible to sell it¡­¡± Lin Mo walked out of the room and was welcomed by a maidservant who sent him off. However, as expected, just as he left the auction house, he coincidentally met Wu Mo, who he had just met. There were two young men standing beside Wu Mo, and both of them were half-step almighty without exception. ¡°Half-step Almighty level five, the same realm as wind void, but he should be stronger¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered in his heart. Then, he saw Wu Mo walk over with a smile on his face. fellow Daoist, I¡¯m sorry for the previous matter. I didn¡¯t expect you to be an honored guest of the Wu¡¯s auction house. Wu Mo had obviously received Lin Mo¡¯s message, which made Lin Mo feel a little helpless. ¡°Greetings, young master Wu Mo.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. He wanted to leave, but he was helpless. by the way, I¡¯ve never heard of you before. May I know where you¡¯re from and who your master is?¡± Wu Mo cupped his hands and asked with a smile. ¡°The world is so big, it¡¯s impossible for young master Wu Mo to know everyone. I¡¯m just a loose cultivator, I don¡¯t belong to any sect.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. As soon as he said this, Wu Mo and the two men beside him looked surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t you come to Languang City to gather information for your master?¡± one of the men asked. ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± This time, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be confused. Why did he have to have a master? ¡°You¡¯re really a rogue cultivator?¡± Wu Mo looked at Lin Mo up and down. It was very novel, and Lin Mo felt very uncomfortable. ¡°I can¡¯t?¡± Lin Mo asked. Hearing this, Wu Mo laughed and said, ¡°Fellow daoist, in that case, I can recommend you.¡± ¡°The overlord of the clouds plains. You¡¯re not unfamiliar with the Gongsun family, are you?¡± Lin Mo nodded and motioned for Wu Mo to continue. ¡°I am Wu Mo, ranked 72nd on the Yun state¡¯s Progidy Roll. I am the sixth general under Gongsun Wenhao.¡± ¡°You know Gongsun Wenhao, right? He¡¯s ranked fifth on The Prodigy Roll. He¡¯s a peerless genius who can be ranked on the Northern Land¡¯s Hidden Dragon Ranking.¡± At this point, Wu Mo¡¯s face was full of pride, which made Lin Mo dumbfounded. This person was actually someone else¡¯s servant? Moreover, from the looks of it, he seemed to be very proud of being someone¡¯s servant, which was something worth bragging about¡­ ¡°Haha, you must be shocked. It seems that you are indeed a rogue cultivator. How about this, hand over the Void Spirit Sword and I can recommend you. As long as your talent is not too bad, you can still work under Lord Wen Hao.¡± Wu Mo looked at Lin Mo¡¯s shocked expression and felt proud that he had subdued Lin Mo. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression calmed down. He looked calm and did not want to pay attention to Wu Mo. ¡°You¡¯ve shattered my worldview. Just because you like being a servant doesn¡¯t mean others like it too.¡± Lin Mo cursed in his heart. What kind of person was this guy? ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be ungrateful. It¡¯s your fortune that young master Wu Mo can recommend you.¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s reply, the two men behind him were instantly enraged. They wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Wu Mo. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry to refuse. You might not know Lord Wen Hao¡¯s conditions.¡± Wu Mo smiled indifferently and continued. ¡°All the generals under Lord Wen Hao will get a tier 7 earth grade spirit herb every month, and they will also be protected by the Gongsun family. ¡°Other than that, the northern lands ¡®Hidden Dragon Pavilion will be opening the ancient battlefield soon. There are countless opportunities there. If you want to participate, you must have your name on the Hidden Dragon ranking. ¡°We don¡¯t have such an opportunity, but we can enter with Lord Wen Hao and fight for him, obtaining endless opportunities.¡± Lin Mo gradually came to a realization after hearing these words. The northern lands was huge, and anyone with the slightest bit of talent would want to stand out and achieve great things. Perhaps Wu Mo was the same. He wanted to explore Yunzhou and become heaven¡¯s favorite. However, the world was unfair to begin with. Some people were born to be kings, and some people became bandits. The competition for resources was even more intense. Some of them were willing to rely on a huge power to seek protection, but most of them were forced. Those who did not obey would be killed¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I still don¡¯t have any thoughts of living under someone else¡¯s roof.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists. At this time, he was a little grateful to Wu Mo, because he had brought a lot of useful information. The Progidy Roll, the Hidden Dragon ranking, the ancient battlefield of the hidden Dragon Pavilion, and so on¡­ ¡°Hehe, it seems like brother Lin Mo is not going to cooperate¡­¡± When Lin Mo turned to leave, Wu Mo stopped smiling. He had said so much for the Void Spirit sword, but now that he wanted it, it seemed like he could only snatch it by force¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± Lin Mo placed his hands behind his head and swaggered away. Wu Mo would not make a move in public, but the seeds of hatred had been planted, which made Lin Mo helpless. ¡°In order not to cause any more trouble, why don¡¯t I sell it¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. How many times had he given in since he came to the Northern Continent? He had always thought that he was invincible among his peers, but his enemies were not just his peers¡­ Suddenly, he raised his head and saw a ball of golden light blooming in the sky, illuminating the entire Languang city. A young man walked out from the golden light. He had a single golden horn on his forehead and golden patterns on his face. His aura was terrifying. He had just arrived, but his momentum was so great that it alarmed everyone in the city. ¡°A Golden Horn. That¡¯s the one-horned human race. It¡¯s said that the Golden Horn has the power to destroy everything.¡± There were many people in Languang city who had good eyesight. They immediately recognized the person and identified him. ¡°The third place on the heaven¡¯s pride ranking of Yunzhou, Teng Feng!¡± ¡°Not just that. I heard that he¡¯s already in the northern lands ¡®Hidden Dragon Roll. An elder of the hidden Dragon Pavilion was shocked and personally came to find him, wanting to take him in as a disciple.¡± ¡°Then what is his rank on the hidden Dragon List?¡± Some people were curious, because the hidden Dragon Roll was not open to the public. Chapter 572 - 572 The Girl Who Stole the Runes 572 The Girl Who Stole the Runes If he wanted to know the names on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, he would have to step onto the list himself. Lin Mo was shocked. What was going on with Languang city? this was yet another person who could be called a peerless genius. The mysterious and playful young lady from before and the powerful young man who had caused the heavens and earth to have strange phenomena. Also, Wu Mo had asked him if he was also here to inquire about information. Now, there was another Teng Feng. Without a doubt, this person¡¯s combat strength was also extremely terrifying. He was extraordinary and a terrifying opponent. ¡°Something big is definitely going to happen here. What should I do? should I join in the fun?¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. Wealth came from danger. What he needed now was treasures. If there was an opportunity here, he would fight for it. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with the Void Spirit Sword first.¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo left quickly, ignoring the people following behind him. On this day, Languang city was no longer peaceful, because many people from the Yun state¡¯s Progidy Roll had appeared, and they were all powerful geniuses. In fact, in the next few days, people from the Northern Continent¡¯s Hidden Dragon Ranking had also appeared. Some of them did not even belong to the cloud plane, and had come here by force through the Super-large teleportation formation. In the past few days, Lin Mo had gone out to gather information and finally understood the general situation in the Northern Continent. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion was the most mysterious force in the Northern Continent. It was said that it came from the Central Continent and had countless experts. Strictly speaking, the Northern Continent¡¯s Hidden Dragon Pavilion could not be considered a major power. This was because they did not have much territory, and they did not have many elders. The reason why they were able to make it into the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the Northern Continents was because they controlled an ancient battlefield. There were many mysterious ancient lands there, and it was said that there were even the inheritances of the great emperor. The great emperor¡¯s ancient scriptures were buried deep underground. This was no ordinary resource. Once it was revealed, it would shake the entire Northern Continent. However, this ancient battlefield only allowed those on the first step of Immortal-Foundation to enter. No one was allowed to exceed or exceed the first step. Anyone who entered had to suppress their cultivation realm, so they couldn¡¯t burst out with more power. This place had also become a training ground for the younger generation. Therefore, the appearance of the Hidden Dragon Ranking had allowed the younger generation of the Northern Continent to compete and enter to seek for opportunities¡­ ¡°What did you say? Someone barged into the hidden Dragon Pavilion and stole a rune to open the ancient battlefield?¡± Lin Mo was shocked to hear this news. At the same time, he had an answer in his heart. Was it stolen by that young girl? wasn¡¯t she too bold? moreover, how could she do this with her strength? It seems like her background is not small ¡­ He had received too much information in the past few days, and it was hard for him to accept it. He stood up and was just about to leave when he saw a group of people walking in from outside the trading center. ¡°Wu Mo¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. This guy had waited for a few days and was finally planning to make a move on him? He had already found out that the Wu family was very powerful. They had seven cities under their command, and this Languang city was one of them. And because the Wu family was affiliated with the Gongsun family, no one dared to provoke them at will, so they became stronger and stronger. However, he was wrong this time. Wu Mo did not come to find him. He was also looking for information. After seeing Lin Mo, he sneered. This was a trading place, but it was very lively today. After Wu Mo, a few more people had come. Some were the servants of the peerless geniuses, and some were even his true body. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait.¡± Lin Mo was about to leave after gathering some information, but he was stopped by someone, leaving him helpless. He turned around and saw a woman in a pink dress walking over. Her steps were enchanting, and her body emitted an alluring fragrance. ¡°This person has cultivated the bewitching technique¡­¡± After sensing that something was wrong, Lin Mo circulated his spirit qi and sealed his sense of smell so that he would not be affected. ¡°Is there something?¡± he asked. Lin Mo asked indifferently. The woman in pink was stunned. The smile on her delicate face froze for a moment, then relaxed again. She looked at Lin Mo curiously. She had always been confident in her looks. All the men she had seen were attracted to her. Even if they could resist it, they would not be able to help but take a few more glances. However, Lin Mo was completely unaffected and was immune to her charm? ¡°This young master, can we have a moment?¡± The girl in pink smiled and walked over, swaying her slender waist. Lin Mo frowned as he smelled the fragrance. He took two steps back to keep a distance from her and said, ¡°I¡¯m not free. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Wu Mo was also here. These days, many people came to check on the place where he lived, most of whom were Wu Mo¡¯s men. He really didn¡¯t like this guy and just wanted to avoid him. ¡°Wait a minute. I heard that you have a Void Spiritual Sword, tier 7 earth grade. The lady in pink said hurriedly. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s face darkened. Could it be that this person was also interested in the Void Spirit Sword? ¡°I¡¯m just a messenger. My young master has some insights into the Dao law of space and would like to buy your Void Spirit sword. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory price.¡± As if sensing that Lin Mo did not believe her, she continued, ¡°My family¡¯s young master is Li Yu, ranked seventh on the cloud plane¡¯s Prodigy Roll.¡± As soon as he said that, the people around him were shocked and looked over. ¡°It¡¯s Li Yu. I didn¡¯t expect him to send his men here.¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, young Master Li Yu won¡¯t bully you. He¡¯ll really give you a satisfactory price.¡± Someone beside him advised. Lin Mo had been chatting with these people for the past few days, so they were familiar with each other. They also knew that Lin Mo¡¯s Void Spirit sword had been targeted. But if he sold it to Li Yu, he would definitely not lose out. Li Yu was not a person who would force a deal. ¡°Is that so? I still have quite a few treasures in my hands. I plan to auction them off three days later. You can just bid for them then. Lin Mo nodded. This was the truth. He had been buying treasures at a low price recently. All sorts of trade fairs, markets, and medicine shops would be there. As long as it was earth grade and the price was low, they would buy it all. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± After getting a satisfactory answer, the woman left with her men, leaving behind a group of people who were reluctant to part with her. They looked at her back and drooled. ¡°Bastard¡­¡± On the other side, Wu Mo, who was waiting for his subordinates to come back from their investigation, was so furious that he smashed the table and chair in front of him. When he had asked Lin Mo to buy it, this guy had not wanted to sell it. Now that Li Yu¡¯s men were here, this guy actually wanted to sell it ¡­ ¡°Young master, do you want to find a chance to¡­¡± Someone beside Wu Mo said in a low voice and made a throat-slitting gesture. ¡°Languang city is very complicated now. I can¡¯t hide the truth from everyone. This is not appropriate¡­¡± Wu Mo shook his head. If not for that, he would have sent people to attack Lin Mo. But it was different now. The Gongsun family had sent people to seal off the place, and the guards of the Wu family were ordered to retreat. ¡°Just wait. After this matter is over, I¡¯ll give him a profound lesson. Wu Mo looked at Lin Mo¡¯s back as he left and said in a cold voice.¡± The news that a tier 7 earth grade magic tool was going to be auctioned spread. This caused quite a stir in Languang city. Some of the geniuses were very tempted. They were also lacking in such a rare magical weapon. The location of the auction was naturally the Wu auction house ¡­ Chapter 573 - 573 Strength Exposed 573 Strength Exposed ¡°Young master Lin Mo, you¡¯re finally here. Are you alright?¡± As soon as he arrived, the steward hurriedly came to greet him, his face full of worry. After all, Wu Mo had obtained a lot of information about Lin Mo from him, which made him feel a little apologetic. ¡°Why would I be in trouble? Come, help me auction these. Lin Mo smiled and did not blame him.¡± He took out a large number of treasures from the system space, all of which were collected by him during this period of time. ¡°Void Spirit Sword¡­¡± The manager saw the Void Spirit Sword in the pile of treasures and could only sigh. Lin Mo could not withstand the pressure and decided to sell the Void Spirit Sword. He examined the treasures one by one and couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. Lin Mo was indeed talented in treasure hunting. He was able to find so many treasures in such a short time. It was a pity that such a talent seemed to have been completely offended by his young master. ¡°Young master Lin Mo, your treasures will be auctioned in the next auction. The most precious of them all is this Void Spirit Sword. ¡°The starting price will be set at 350000 upper spiritual stones. Many geniuses have come to Languang city.¡± ¡°This Void Spirit Sword will definitely cause a lot of people to fight for it. By a conservative estimate, it should be able to sell for more than six hundred thousand.¡± ¡°600000. It¡¯s a good price. That¡¯s it.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had no objections to the price. Although this price was not enough to make him rich overnight, he could still buy more treasures and auction them. The system¡¯s return-interest rewards were all very precious, and some of them even grew in extremely dangerous areas. ¡°By the way, manager, I would like to ask, do you know when we can leave Languang city?¡± Lin Mo suddenly asked after the price of the auctioned items was set. ¡°Do you want to leave¡­¡± The manager glanced at Lin Mo and understood. Now that the Void Spirit Sword had been forcefully bought by someone, he definitely did not want to stay here any longer. He would definitely leave as soon as possible. ¡°After today, we should be able to get an answer.¡± The manager told Lin Mo that the auction this time was a little unusual. The final item might be the lost jade talisman of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Because the person who stole the jade talisman had been besieged by many parties, although their identity was not confirmed, they had still injured him. It was said that the jade talisman had fallen and was lost in the battle. Many people were looking for it. After they found it, there was a dispute about the ownership of the Jade talisman. Geniuses from all over the world were rushing to Languang city. ¡°Could it be that this auction is going to take place?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. What a coincidence! Could the final item of the auction be the Jade talisman? ¡°That¡¯s right. Yunzhou is the Gongsun family¡¯s territory after all. We have to give them face.¡± ¡°Therefore, they decided to use the auction method to determine the ownership of the Jade talisman. And this jade talisman is now in the Wu family¡¯s auction house¡­¡± The manager waved his hand helplessly. This jade talisman was a hot potato, and no one would feel good holding it. Even the Gongsun family didn¡¯t dare to monopolize it. In the end, they decided to auction it off and let these outsiders compete for it. Hearing this, Lin Mo was a little tempted. However, he did not know if they would only allow the younger generation to compete. If it was, then he still had a chance. If it wasn¡¯t, he would be in trouble. Once he failed, he would die. ¡°Young master Lin Mo, please come in. The auction is about to begin.¡± Hmph, Manager Li, what are you doing? that private room is only for distinguished guests. How can you let others in so easily? ¡± Just as Lin Mo stepped into the private room, a cold snort came from behind. The steward¡¯s body froze on the spot. He looked at Lin Mo and then at Wu Mo, at a loss. Lin Mo turned around and saw Wu Mo appearing behind him with an unhappy expression. Seeing this, Lin Mo also smiled. This fellow was really petty¡­ However, it made sense. By agreeing to sell the Void Spirit Sword, it was equivalent to slapping Wu Mo¡¯s face in public¡­ ¡°Trouble keeps coming no matter where I go.¡± He sighed and looked up at Wu Mo, saying indifferently, ¡°Young master Wu Mo, according to the rules of your auction house, as long as the starting bid exceeds 500000 upper spiritual stones, you can enter the private room.¡± ¡°The base price of all my treasures is almost one million upper spiritual stones. Why can¡¯t I enter? ¡± ¡°Or is it that your Wu¡¯s auction house doesn¡¯t have any rules to speak of? then the reputation of this auction house needs to be verified.¡± There was quite a commotion here, and Wu Mo and Lin Mo were also quite popular during this period. The former was already famous outside, while the latter was because of the Void Spirit Sword ¡­ The sound of the wind breaking could be heard. The demonic beasts were howling. The auction was about to begin, and many people were rushing over. There were even some people who were ranked at the top of The Prodigy Roll, and were much stronger than Wu Mo. ¡°Hehe, isn¡¯t this Wu Mo? why bother with a dead person? if it¡¯s not convenient for you to make a move, I can do it for you.¡± A gloomy laugh was heard, and a group of people walked in from the entrance of the auction house. These people were all dressed in black robes. Although their faces were revealed, they looked very strange and were surrounded by a lot of death energy. Lin Mo learned from the people around him that the person was from the corpse puppet sect. His body was shrouded in a deathly aura, which was also caused by his frequent contact with corpses. ¡°Guan Yao, you¡¯re here too? for the Jade talismans?¡± he asked. Wu Mo smiled when he saw the person. who doesn¡¯t want that kind of treasure? let¡¯s see how lucky we are. The man called Guan Yao smiled eerily. He then looked at Lin Mo and sized him up. ¡°I can sense that your physical body is not ordinary. You are extraordinary.¡± He licked his lips and was actually drooling, I wonder what your blood will taste like ¡­¡± ¡°You can try¡­¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He turned around and entered the private room, closing the door behind him. Outside the door, many people were surprised to see this scene. He had thought that this person would not live long after offending Wu Mo and being targeted by Guan Yao. But now, that guy didn¡¯t seem to be afraid at all. Why was that? ¡°Is this a broken jar?¡± Wu Mo sneered and turned to leave. In his opinion, it was impossible for Lin Mo to have any powerful combat strength. He was just an itinerant cultivator that he had never seen before and was not worth paying attention to. ¡°I¡¯ve been exposed ¡­¡± Lin Mo walked into the private room with a helpless expression. Guan Yao¡¯s perception was extremely sharp. At such a close distance, some of his strength could be sensed. Lin Mo was confident that he had hidden it well, but he had missed something. A genius of this level had a strong sense of danger. There was a moment when Guan Yao wanted to attack him, and he felt the killing intent. However, it was also at that moment that he realized that Lin Mo was not simple, so he did not dare to make a move. ¡°He¡¯s a cautious person. It seems like I¡¯ve been dragged into this.¡± Lin Mo raised his head and pulled open the curtains in front of the private room. Through the glass, he looked at the treasures on the auction stage. ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction is a volcanic spirit stone. It¡¯s produced under a volcano and can absorb the extreme fire element. It¡¯s a rare treasure for both refining and cultivation. Chapter 574 - 574 Thunderheart Grass 574 Thunderheart Grass The auctioneer tried his best to introduce the Volcanic Spirit Stone. It was a Tier 2 earth grade Volcanic Spirit Stone, which was very helpful for cultivation. ¡°The auction has started so quickly.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. He was the one who had sent the Volcanic Spirit Stone for auction. When he had first obtained it, it had attracted the attention of many people. It was also at that time that Lin Mo¡¯s name had spread throughout the trade fair. He had accepted an upper-grade spirit stone from him and helped him deal with a pile of waste. In the end, he found Volcanic Spirit Stones among the waste. The fire soared to the sky, and the man was filled with regret. ¡°Earth grade Tier 2 Volcanic Spirit Stone. The starting price is 1000 upper spiritual stones.¡± As the auctioneer¡¯s hammer fell, the auction began. There were many fire attribute cultivators here. The Volcanic Spirit Stone was a very good sacred object for their cultivation. ¡°1200 upper spiritual stones.¡± ¡°One thousand three hundred¡­¡± The bidding continued. Lin Mo looked at the auction. In less than three minutes, the price had reached 2500 upper spiritual stones. Lin Mo nodded as he saw this. It was almost the final price. Another minute later, the auctioneer struck the gavel. The final price was 2700 upper spiritual stones. To Lin Mo, this was nothing. The energy from these spirit stones could only allow him to cultivate for four hours at most¡­ [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the earth grade level 2 Volcanic Spirit Stone. ] [ Successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the hose for obtaining Earth grade tier 5 sacred core Fire Rock. The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, and Lin Mo immediately started. He didn¡¯t care about the Volcanic Spirit Rock, but this Geocentric Sacred Fire Rock was very good. There were some Dao laws of fire contained within it, which was just right for his cultivation. If he refined it, he would be able to absorb it at the highest efficiency. ¡°Very good. Let¡¯s collect more treasures when we are on our way¡­¡± Lin Mo took out the Geocentric Sacred Fire Rock from the system space and nodded in satisfaction. However, a huge battle was about to break out. He was already caught up in it and couldn¡¯t escape. The most important thing now was to improve his strength. ¡°I¡¯ll refine it on the spot¡­¡± Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged on the sofa and began to absorb the energy contained in the Geocentric Sacred Fire Rock. His stagnant realm also began to rise slowly under the circulation of Lin Mo¡¯s Spirit Devouring Technique. The first Heavenly layer of a half-step almighty. This was his current cultivation level, the first heavenly layer of the immortal foundation. At this level, every advancement required a huge amount of spiritual energy. Although it wasn¡¯t as terrifying as breaking through to immortal-foundation, it was still extremely huge and required vast amounts of natural resources. ¡°No wonder the Heaven-Mending Monument and the Holy Flame want me to leave. The Eastern Continent can¡¯t afford to feed me at this level¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled to himself. It was extremely easy to absorb the Geocentric Sacred Fire Rock, at least a hundred times easier than spirit stones. Especially since he had the God Devouring Body and the cultivation technique route of the God Devouring Technique, a piece of Geocentric Sacred Fire Rock was completely absorbed by him in less than ten minutes. The stone the size of a dragon¡¯s eye turned into powder, and Lin Mo¡¯s aura had clearly improved, but he was still a little far from a breakthrough. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t absorb spirit stones to cultivate in seclusion¡­¡± Lin Mo felt a little regretful. During this period of time, he had been collecting treasures and looking for an opportunity to auction them, so he had not cultivated. Now that his strength had been detected, he had no time to cultivate. ¡°The next auction item is the tier 4 earth realm Thunder Heart Grass. This is something that can only be produced during the powerful Heavenly Tribulation of breaking through to the immortal-Foundation realm.¡± Thunder Heart Grass was a very special spiritual herb. It was born by absorbing the power of the lightning tribulation. The stronger the talent of the person undergoing the Tribulation, the greater the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. However, most of the Thunder Heart Grass would be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation. Only a small portion would be kept. This was a reward from the heavens to those who passed the Heavenly Tribulation. ¡°Eating this grass can calm one¡¯s soul and nourish one¡¯s spirit. The lightning laws within it will also temper one¡¯s soul and make it stronger.¡± ¡°The starting price is 10000 upper spiritual stones, and each bid must be no less than 1000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. This kind of magical spiritual medicine would attract people to fight for it as soon as it appeared. The Thunder Heart grass, a tier 4 earth grade medicinal herb, was so effective that even people like Wu Mo would drool over it. ¡°Has the auction for the Thunder Heart Grass started¡­¡± Lin Mo raised his head. This was his treasure as well, but the Thunder Heart Grass was useless to him. He had only obtained it by luck. ¡°I just don¡¯t know what kind of return it will be.¡± He looked on with interest. From the start of the auction until now, he had not made a single move. This was because none of these treasures had as much spiritual energy as the equivalent spiritual stones. The starting price of 10000 had stumped many people. Many cultivators in the hall were scratching their ears and cheeks, wanting to raise the price. But in the end, they still sat back down. If they were already reluctant to part with the starting price, then how high would the final price be¡­ ¡°Thunder Heart Grass, this is not bad, I want it.¡± ¡°15000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The sudden voice sounded particularly gloomy and made people uncomfortable. Lin Mo knew who this person was when he heard his words. It was Guan Yao of the Corpse Puppet Sect. This person should be a puppeteer. If he were to fight with him, he had to be on guard against his puppets at all times. If they were not careful and were ambushed by the puppets, it was very easy for them to lose and die on the spot. ¡°Puppeteers control their puppets by using their soul power. I think this guy is very interesting.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He didn¡¯t mind selling the treasure to the enemy. Anyway, Guan Yao was going to make a move on her soon. She would get it back then, killing two birds with one stone¡­ ¡°17000 upper spiritual stones.¡± At this moment, another bid was heard, and it also came from the private room in front. There were other geniuses who wanted the Thunder Heart Grass as well, and Guan Yao was not the only one who wanted to improve his soul power. ¡°Hehe, 20000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The people in the hall stopped bidding. At this time, they all began to watch. The price of the Thunder Heart Grass gradually rose, and after four to five minutes, the price even surprised Lin Mo. looks like I¡¯ve underestimated the value of the Thunder Heart Grass¡­ Lin Mo mumbled. Guan Yao had already raised the price to 80000 upper spiritual stones. Even so, there were two other people who were competing with Guan Yao. They didn¡¯t want to give up. They watched the auction in silence. After another two minutes of bidding, Guan Yao won. He had bid 110000 upper spiritual stones, suppressing the other two. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. When the auctioneer hit the hammer, Guan Yao snorted coldly. It was obvious that he was very unhappy with the two of them raising the price. [Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the earth grade tier 4 Thunder Heart grass.] [ successfully triggered 10000-fold auction interest return ] [congratulations to the host for obtaining earth grade tier 8 Thunder Heart Grass.] In the system space, a small blade of grass that had grown even stronger appeared. Its leaves were purple, but there was already a faint golden luster on it. The previous one was light purple in color, and the patterns were rather blurry. There was no doubt that the price of this Thunder Heart Grass would definitely surpass the void Spirit sword. Although it was a spiritual medicine, it was a higher grade. Furthermore, it was the rare Thunder Heart grass, which was useful for strengthening the soul and even for Lin Mo. unfortunately, the effect is minimal. It can only improve by a tiny bit¡­ Chapter 575 - 575 All the Heroes Were Shocked 575 All the Heroes Were Shocked Lin Mo shook his head. His soul was already at the top among the half-step almighty beings, and it would be difficult for him to improve any further. Even if he paid a huge price and continuously underwent nirvana and tempered his soul, the improvement he obtained would not be proportional. ¡°Sell it.¡± Lin Mo called the maidservant outside the door and told her to settle the spirit stones he had paid for the previous auction. At the same time, he called the manager over. A few minutes later, the steward came in with an animal skin belt. He walked in with a smile and presented the spirit stones. ¡°Young master Lin Mo, these are the spirit stones for the auction of the Thunder Heart grass and the volcano spirit stone. As for the handling fee, I will waive it for you. I hope that you will not hold it against me¡­ Before the manager could finish, Lin Mo interrupted him and said impatiently,¡±¡±I¡¯m not a narrow-minded person.¡± He secretly sneered at Wu Mo and immediately took out the Thunder Heart grass, which had just returned to its original state. ¡°This is a level 8 Earth Class Thunder Heart grass. Give me a price and put it up for auction.¡± The dark purple Thunder Heart Grass swayed in the wind, and specks of golden light could be seen. The majestic soul power formed lightning and flowed on the leaf, creating a beautiful scene. The steward was a little dazed and in disbelief at this scene. ¡°What are you waiting for? Go and make arrangements.¡± Lin Mo patted the manager¡¯s shoulder. This guy had worked for so many years and had seen so many treasures. Why did he have such an expression? ¡°Thunder Heart grass of rank 8 Earth Class¡­¡± The manager was a little scared out of his wits as he carried the pot of lightning heart grass outside without even giving Lin Mo a price. ¡°Are you exaggerating?¡± Lin Mo frowned. He didn¡¯t know what a Thunder Heart grass above rank 7 Earth Class meant. It could only be born after passing one of the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulations in history. Only heavenly lightning of this level could give birth to such a rare treasure. Even though the Northern Continent was vast and abundant in resources, a Thunder Heart grass of this level had not appeared for thousands of years¡­ ¡°What is the background of this person called Lin Mo¡­¡± The manager walked out with the Thunder Heart grass. After some hesitation, he came to the far end and walked up to the auction stage. ¡°Mr. Manager.¡± The auctioneer bowed respectfully, but his eyes froze in the next moment. His eyes were fixed on the Thunder Heart grass in the steward¡¯s hands, and his eyes almost popped out. ¡°What? I¡¯m not seeing things, am I?¡± ¡°My God, such a divine object has actually appeared¡­¡± there hasn¡¯t been any heaven-defying existence undergoing tribulation recently. Didn¡¯t they say that Thunder Heart grass can¡¯t be cultivated?¡± The people were engaged in a heated discussion as they recognized the Thunder Heart Grass that the steward had brought over. It was dark purple, and the golden light on the leaves was faintly discernible. It was hard to imagine how it would have been if it had absorbed a little more of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Then wouldn¡¯t he be able to go one step further? ¡°This is the Thunder Heart grass of rank 8 Earth Class. It was made by the same customer and is going to be auctioned. The steward said a few simple words. Before anyone could ask, he quickly got off the stage. He then entered a private room where Wu Mo was looking at the auction stage with a serious expression. ¡°Greetings, young master Wu Mo.¡± The steward knelt down immediately and saluted, feeling a little nervous. ¡°This Thunder Heart Grass is Lin Mo¡¯s?¡± Even though he already had an answer in his heart, Wu Mo still found it hard to believe. He asked, hoping that the steward would shake his head. However, things did not go according to his wishes. The manager nodded, proving that this Thunder Heart grass was indeed from Lin Mo¡­ ¡°Young master, is that Lin Mo a genius who has gone out to train?¡± The manager¡¯s face was filled with fear. Wu Mo¡¯s previous actions had already offended Lin Mo. Furthermore, he planned to work with Guan Yao after the auction to make Lin Mo disappear completely. Now that the Thunder Heart grass had appeared, Lin Mo¡¯s identity was a mystery¡­ ¡°Impossible! I have heard of the Hidden Dragon Ranking from Lord Wen Hao, but I have never heard of a person named Lin Mo. Wu Mo shook his head. He did not believe that Lin Mo was a hidden peerless genius. Lin Mo¡¯s name was indeed not on the Hidden Dragon Roll, not even on the Progidy roll. That was why he thought that Lin Mo could be bullied. From the looks of it, even if he wasn¡¯t a genius, he might have someone backing him. ¡°It seems that his backer is no weaker than Wen Hao. He¡¯s hidden it well.¡± Wu Mo gritted his teeth. Suddenly, he remembered something that happened more than a month ago¡­ In the oceans there was a peerless genius undergoing tribulation, and the phenomenon it caused was extremely shocking. Back then, he had followed Gongsun Wenhao to explore the ruins in the dead area of the sea of stars. In the end, he had returned without any success. On the other hand, the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s momentum was so great that it drew them over. However, the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s scope was too large. When they arrived, they only saw a young man confronting a true dragon. The two sides had fought to a draw. That scene was too shocking, so much so that he did not dare to imagine it. Now that he thought about it, it was very likely that this Thunder Heart Grass had been obtained by that person when he was transcending his tribulation. As for whether this person was Lin Mo, that was another matter. However, one thing was certain. Lin Mo was definitely related to that person, and he might be his follower¡­ No matter what his identity was, now that he had offended her, he had to either apologize or get rid of her. It was impossible for him to apologize, so he only had one way to go. ¡°You can leave now. This is none of your business. Don¡¯t let me see you in contact with Lin Mo.¡± Wu Mo said to the steward coldly. At this moment, on the auction stage, everyone¡¯s eyes were locked on the Thunder Heart grass in the auctioneer¡¯s hand, which swayed in the wind. They had thought that the Jade talisman was the only thing that could catch their attention. He did not expect to see two Thunder Heart Grass and a Void Spirit sword. haha, we¡¯ve really come to the right place. Even if we can¡¯t get the Jade talismans, we¡¯ve still gained a lot from this trip. A loud laugh rang out, urging the auctioneer to stop wasting time and quickly state the base price. Thunder Heart grass, rank 8 Earth Class. The starting price is 500000 upper spiritual stones. Each increment must be no less than 10000. As soon as he finished speaking, the person from before immediately raised the price by 100000, pushing the price to 600000. However, this only stunned a small portion of the people. There were many other people who had come to participate in this auction. They were all geniuses of their own regions, and their strength and wealth were not weak. ¡°Six hundred and thirty thousand.¡± ¡°Six hundred and fifty thousand¡­¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo was extremely satisfied. He would be able to obtain another sum of spirit stones. With these, he should be able to enter seclusion and break through. However, he didn¡¯t know if Wu Mo and the others would give him time to cultivate. ¡°Seven hundred thousand.¡± At this time, a familiar voice came from the private room at the front. It was Wu Mo. He also made a bid. He couldn¡¯t possibly use this Thunder Heart Grass for himself. It was for his backer, Gongsun Wenhao. There were also many people bidding. Some represented themselves, while some represented the owners behind them¡­ ¡°It¡¯s best if Wu Mo or Guan Yao wins the bid¡­¡± In the private room, Lin Mo looked at the people who were fighting for it and prayed in his heart. Weren¡¯t these two people going to work together? If they could work together to obtain this Thunder Heart Grass, that would be for the best. This way, after they attacked him, he would be able to snatch it back. ¡°I can only hope that the so called Gongsun Wenhao does not appear¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered softly. In the auction house, the price had already soared to nine hundred thousand. Chapter 576 - 576 Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth 576 Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth If one day, there was a genius in the Zhu Yan clan who could defeat all his peers and ascend to the fruit position of the earth, he might be able to return to his ancestors and let the chaotic world demonic ape appear in the world again¡­ ¡°It¡¯s. pity that I can¡¯t figure out how to repair the incomplete scripture by analogy¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He might be able to do it in the future, but that was a matter for the future. Moreover, when he reached that realm, the martial arts derived from his spirit devouring technique would not be weaker than the great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. By then, there would be no need for other inheritances, and there would be no point in repairing it¡­ I¡¯ll find an opportunity to auction it off. Perhaps I¡¯ll be able to obtain some complete scriptures that will allow me to cultivate¡­ He was very interested in the Kun Peng claw, the heaven-changing and earth-changing technique. The former¡¯s offensive power was extraordinary, and it was a great killing weapon to him. Furthermore, it was a technique of the Kun Peng. In the future, when he auctioned the Kun Peng wings, he might be able to further improve the two of them and make them complement each other. As for the great art of changing heaven and earth, it didn¡¯t have any means of attack. Instead, it was a divine skill. Although Lin Mo was weak and could not do that, he could still conceal his aura and prevent others from deducing him. ¡°Why don¡¯t we auction it off now¡­¡± Lin Mo was very tempted, especially by the earth-shaking method, which would be very helpful for the upcoming operation. Lin Mo immediately got to work. He called his maidservant over and told him to auction off the three rolls of golden paper as well. ¡°Young master Lin Mo, are you really going to auction it?¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s introduction, the maidservant turned pale with fright. Lin Mo could even take out such a heaven-defying item. However, when he heard that the three spell techniques were so badly damaged that they couldn¡¯t be cultivated, he sighed. It was a pity that it was incomplete. The price of this scripture would be greatly reduced. ¡°I¡¯m sure. Let¡¯s go to the auction. Arrange it as soon as possible.¡± Lin Mo warned. After the auction ended, the battle would soon come. He had to increase his means of self-protection. ¡°Everyone¡­ Three more auction items¡­¡± Chapter 577 - 577 Playing For the Gallery 577 Playing For the Gallery The maidservant walked onto the stage, and the crowd immediately became interested. As they had all seen him walk out of Lin Mo¡¯s private room, they were all very curious to see what other treasures this fellow had. Don¡¯t just stand there. Quickly introduce them. Someone couldn¡¯t help urging. At that moment, everyone felt that Lin Mo¡¯s identity was not simple. A single Thunder Heart grass had caused all sorts of speculations to surface in their hearts. Now that he had brought out another treasure to auction, they really wanted to know what else Lin Mo could bring out. ¡°The chaotic world demonic ape¡¯s great art of changing heaven and earth has three sections of Scripture.¡± ¡°The body-tempering technique of the Zhu Yan clan has five sections of the Scripture.¡± ¡°Kun Peng claw¡¯s Scripture is incomplete. There are flaws in the symbols and it¡¯s difficult to cultivate.¡± The maidservant introduced with some difficulty, and when she finished, the whole place fell into silence. The smiles on the faces of some of the people who had been hopeful disappeared. It was only three to five paragraphs of Scriptures. Although they were precious, they had no use if they were taken out alone. ¡°What? I was happy for nothing.¡± Someone was immediately dissatisfied. He had thought that there would be treasures, but it turned out to be such an outcome. He was a little indignant. it seems like he obtained the Thunderheart grass by luck. He¡¯s just puffing his own face up to show off¡­ Some people sneered and looked at Lin Mo with disdain. They felt that he was pretending to be an expert to avoid being targeted by others. ¡°Haha, only this much? who can you scare?¡± In the private room at the very front, Wu Mo laughed loudly. At this moment, he had already confirmed that Lin Mo was just trying to please the crowd. Previously, he was worried about the person behind Lin Mo, who could fight a true dragon without being at a disadvantage and had unimaginable combat power. From the looks of it, he must have been lucky enough to have bought the Thunderheart grass. After all, the Thunderheart grass would no longer have any effect on those who had survived the heavenly Tribulation. ¡°Pass down the order to follow Lin Mo closely for the next few days. Find an opportunity to kill him.¡± Wu Mo ordered, no longer as fearful as before. young miss, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve made an error in judgment this time. This person is not good. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to live past tonight¡­ At the same time, in another private room, two young women were sitting on the sofa. One of them was the female attendant who had come out to trade with Lin Mo. She was currently sitting on the sofa and eating the spirit fruit on the table. After seeing the item that was brought up for auction, they were very disdainful. Earlier on, her young miss was very optimistic about this person. Now it seemed that her young miss had misjudged him. ¡°Little Qing, you¡¯re wrong. This person is not simple.¡± On the other side of the sofa, a woman sat quietly, shaking her head slightly. The maid called Xiaoqing was puzzled. She raised her head and said, ¡± ¡°These three scroll fragments can be sold for at most 300000.¡± and his Thunderheart grass is worth more than a million, and there¡¯s no market for it. Isn¡¯t he auctioning it like this to make people think that he¡¯s not simple and not dare to touch him? ¡± Hearing this, the woman chuckled, but her face gradually became serious. even a Supreme Saint can¡¯t find out the origin of these three Scriptures in less than a minute, let alone a junior. As soon as he said that, Xiaoqing was stunned. Lin Mo was above the great sage realm? That¡¯s impossible. There was a sense of vitality in his body, a unique aura of the younger generation. He was full of vitality. This was enough to prove that he was a junior, and his age was not more than thirty years old. ¡°Then there¡¯s only one other possibility. He¡¯s in control of these runes, so he could recognize them at a glance.¡± Xiaoqing was a little confused and asked,¡±But what¡¯s the point of doing this?¡± He had wasted a stalk of Thunder Heart grass just for three scroll fragments, and he knew the Scriptures on them. ¡°Perhaps the situation before him is exactly what he wants¡­¡± The woman laughed. If that was the case, Lin Mo had made a good move. On the auction stage, the auctioneer smiled awkwardly. However, the auction still had to continue. As the crowd sneered, he knocked the auction hammer. put the three scroll fragments together and auction them. The starting price is 100000 upper spiritual stones. He laughed bitterly. He had thought that he would be able to auction off some precious treasures again. But in the end, it was only a few lines of Scripture. ¡°What a joke. Who would buy such a small amount of Scriptures?¡± Someone was disdainful and asked the auctioneer to quickly announce that the item was not sold. ¡°Who said no one would buy it? I¡¯ll pay one million. I¡¯m very interested in this Scripture.¡± At this moment, a chuckle was heard. Someone in the private room made a bid, and the first bid was 1000000. Such a sky-high price shocked the crowd. They looked over and realized that it was the person who had asked Lin Mo to buy the Thunderheart grass. it¡¯s mu Yuzhu, the extraordinary lady of the MU family. I didn¡¯t expect her to be here. so it¡¯s miss Yu Zhu. But why did she buy a few incomplete Scriptures? ¡± The crowd was puzzled. The MU family¡¯s young lady was a peerless genius of the Northern Land, and was ranked ninth on the hidden Dragon Roll. The MU clan wasn¡¯t located in Yunzhou, but in the neighboring Zhuzhou. When mu Yuzhu rose to power, there were still a few peerless geniuses in Zhuzhou who were competing with her. However, the moment mu Yuzhu broke through to immortal-Foundation, she surpassed everyone else and transcended an unimaginable Heavenly Tribulation. At this point, she entered the hidden Dragon Roll and became the number one genius of the bamboo region, her name shaking the wilderness. it¡¯s said that when she passed the heavenly Tribulation, her soul was injured, and it has been difficult to heal. ¡°This is also the reason why he wanted to buy the Thunderheart grass.¡± People were discussing, but they still couldn¡¯t figure out why Mu Yuzhu would bid one million for these three scroll fragments. Could it be that there was another universe in this remnant scroll? But that shouldn¡¯t be the case. With so many geniuses present, couldn¡¯t they tell? ¡°One million once¡­¡± The auctioneer took a long time to react. He slammed the hammer down and asked if anyone was willing to raise the bid. The auctioneer¡¯s words made everyone look at him as if he was an idiot. The price had already been raised to one million, so who was still willing to bid? one million going thrice, sold. Congratulations to this lady. The auctioneer quickly dropped the hammer and announced the results of the auction. Lin Mo was dumbfounded by this scene. What was going on? why did this mu Yuzhu have to spend a million Yuan to get it? [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the incomplete Sutras of the world-changing Grand magic. ] [ successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete world-changing spell. ] A scroll appeared in the system space, and Lin Mo obtained the complete version of the world-changing spell, just as he had wished. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the incomplete zhuyan body refining technique. ] [ successfully triggered 800-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the first form of the zhuyan body tempering Art ] The second interest-recovery was only 800 times. The scroll that was given only had a dozen or so lines of Scripture. This made Lin Mo feel helpless. He had only obtained one move of the zhuyan body-tempering technique, and he did not know if it would be useful. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the incomplete Kun Peng claw. ] [ successfully triggered 9000-fold auction interest return ] [ congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete Kun Peng claw ] A Golden Scroll appeared and Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. A complete Kun Peng claw. He was very satisfied with this result. the next item is a rank 7 earth realm magic weapon, Void Spirit sword¡­ Chapter 578 - 578 The Key To the Ancient Battlefield 578 The Key To the Ancient Battlefield On the auction stage, the auctioneer asked the maidservant to present the void Spirit sword, instantly wiping away the displeasure of the crowd. The void Spirit sword was a rare treasure. Even Lin Mo was watching with rapt attention. His heart was in turmoil. The return on interest of the void Spirit sword had to be higher. This was the magic tool he was going to use next. the starting price of the void Spirit sword is three hundred and fifty thousand. Each increment must not be less than ten thousand. The auction reached its climax, and many people were interested in the void Spirit sword. Lin Mo also found the man named Li Yu in the midst of the bidding. He did not expect him to be sitting in the hall. He had a flirtatious woman in each of his arms. The two of them had heavy makeup on and were dressed very scantily. Li Yu¡¯s hands were also rubbing the soft skin of the two women in an extremely dishonest manner. ¡°This ¡­ Don¡¯t they avoid people?¡± Lin Mo was dumbfounded. He had wondered what kind of person Li Yu was. According to what the people had said before, he felt that Li Yu would be a very cultured cultivation genius. Or a sociable and generous young master. However, he didn¡¯t expect that he would appear in such a state, not caring about what others thought. However, there was one thing that people were right about. If he sold the void Spirit sword to Li Yu, he would not lose anything. On the contrary, he would make a lot of money ¡­ Because this guy was really generous, directly adding 100000 and 100000. In less than two minutes, he had raised the void Spirit sword to 1.23 million. The price was beyond Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. He had originally thought that this Void Spirit sword could be sold for eight to nine hundred thousand at most. ¡°You can really do whatever you want with money ¡­¡± In the end, Lin Mo could only sigh. This Li Yu spent money like water, spending all his time drinking and drinking. However, he was extremely talented and his realm did not fall, making others envious. [ congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a rank 7 earth grade magic weapon, the void Spirit sword. ] [ successfully triggered 8000-fold auction interest return ] congratulations to the host for obtaining the space-breaking godly sword, rank 9 Earth Class. The 8,000-fold interest was given to a rank 9 Earth Class magic weapon, which also had space law. Lin Mo was overjoyed and took out the Skybreaker from the system space. The divine sword was three feet long, and its blade emitted a silver light. The moment it appeared, it caused the space here to tremble and almost collapse. If not for Lin Mo¡¯s suppression, the people outside would have sensed his situation. ¡°Good sword ¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. This divine sword was too powerful. It was the enhanced version of the void Spirit sword and contained even more terrifying power. At this moment, he was a little impatient. He really wanted to test out the power of the space-severing divine sword. next, the final item of this auction, the finale. After Li Yu paid the spiritual stones, the auction continued and the windows in the private rooms were opened. Some people¡¯s eyes were burning with desire for the next jade talisman. Even Li Yu, who was in the hall, stopped what he was doing, sat up straight, and began to take it seriously. ¡°As expected, they are all here for this ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. The water was too deep, but it was impossible for him to leave even if he wanted to. He had already been targeted. As long as he didn¡¯t die, he would be watched by everyone, let alone hiding himself. ¡°I¡¯m sure there are still some people who don¡¯t know what happened in Languang city recently. I¡¯ll explain it to everyone here.¡± ¡°Everyone from the hidden Dragon Pavilion has heard that they lost a symbol some time ago. It¡¯s said that it was stolen.¡± under the pursuit of so many top geniuses, that person was injured and lost his jade talisman. As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the auction hall were shocked. All kinds of discussions rose one after another, and some people¡¯s eyes were already red. The Jade talisman of the hidden Dragon Pavilion was the key to opening the ancient battlefield ¡­ Every thousand years, the hidden Dragon Pavilion would refine enough runes to open the ancient battlefield and start the competition. Now that one of the Jade talismans was lost, it meant that whoever got their hands on it would be able to enter the ancient battlefield even if they were not on the hidden Dragon Roll ¡­ No wonder Languang city was under martial law and no one was allowed to go out in the past month. now, the Jade talisman has been found, but its ownership has become a problem. The auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer. Because this jade talisman was of extraordinary significance, some of the older generation people couldn¡¯t help but bid. After many decisions, it was finally sold in an auction, and the highest price would be obtained. am I hearing things? aren¡¯t they auctioning off the qualification to enter the ancient battlefield ¡­ Some people¡¯s hearts were beating wildly. Wouldn¡¯t the value of this item be beyond the sky? brother, wake up. Don¡¯t think about it anymore. There are so many heaven¡¯s favorites here. Do you really think you can win? ¡± ¡°Moreover, even if we take a step back, it might not be my own ¡­¡± Everyone was in a heated discussion. Although the ancient battlefield spot was extremely precious, no one dared to make a move. The auctioneer had already expected this and was not surprised. The maid at the back brought out a silver plate. There, a small and exquisite jade stone appeared, and there were wondrous runes on it. As soon as the rune appeared, some people in the field couldn¡¯t hold back. Some people even leaked their spiritual energy and were ready to attack at any time. Lin Mo also looked at the Jade rune. Was this the key to entering the ancient battlefield? ¡°Think of a way to get it. Since I¡¯m involved, I¡¯ll do the best ¡­¡± His target was also the Jade talisman. Of course, before that, he had to kill Wu mo and Guan Yao. The two of them were already prepared to make a move on him. Perhaps they would take action after the auction ended. ¡°However, this is Languang city. Will there really be no trouble if I kill them ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. This was not the eastern Peninsula. He was no longer invincible, and he had no power behind him. The Bai family that he had joined was also far away in the southern land. They did not even know that he had left the eastern land ¡­ I can sense that there are more than a dozen terrifying existences here. The others may have reached the cultivation level, but their battle strength is not as good as mine. He pondered and analyzed the situation before him. The more he analyzed, the more he felt that his chances of winning were slim. For example, mu Yuzhu had been stuck at the first step of immortal Foundation for a long time. If it wasn¡¯t for her deliberate suppression, she would have already broken through. Her goal was naturally to enter the ancient battlefield and break through there. There were probably more than a hundred people like her in the northern lands. There were even some who were trying to match the opening of the ancient battlefield. After he was born, he would have his family elders seal him after he had cultivated to a certain level, waiting for the day when he would reappear in the world. Compared to them, Lin Mo¡¯s Foundation was truly lacking. ¡°However, this auction has nothing to do with me ¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The auction began. However, the starting price was as high as one million upper spiritual stones. Although he could bid once or twice, it would only be for fun. The price of the Jade talisman would soon rise. In less than a minute, someone had already raised the price to five million, and it was still rising. Lin Mo ignored everything and sat cross-legged on the sofa. He took out some of the profit-returning treasures from the auction and began to absorb them. He had to hurry up and improve his strength ¡­ Chapter 579 - 579 Ownership of the Jade Talisman 579 Ownership of the Jade Talisman The auction continued, but Lin Mo was no longer paying attention. He took out a scroll from the system space, which recorded the cultivation method of the heaven-and-Earth Transformation technique. The more he watched, the more he marveled at the profoundness of this spell technique. Very quickly, he forgot himself and was immersed in it. He couldn¡¯t change the world now, but he could still change himself. He was extremely talented, and the Scripture was quickly memorized in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. As he operated it silently, the aura in Lin Mo¡¯s private room changed. If someone were to send their soul power in at this moment, they would be able to notice the abnormality. At this moment, Lin Mo was completely breathless. Although he was still there, his aura was almost the same in the room. Even the spirit Qi on his body had changed, making it difficult to distinguish. This was a change in the soul. Unless one¡¯s realm was much higher than his, it was impossible for one to discover his disguise. Moreover, in battle, it would be difficult for the enemy to lock onto him, and he would be able to break free easily. ¡°With the addition of the space-severing divine sword, I still have a very high chance of winning this battle ¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. In such a short period of time, he was already able to perform the heaven-and-Earth Transformation. As long as he went back and practiced a little, he would be able to control it perfectly and use it in battle. ¡°Bang!¡± The auctioneer¡¯s face was red as he shouted, ¡± congratulations to the guest in private Room No. 1 for successfully winning the Jade talisman of the ancient battlefield. The final price for the finale is thirteen million upper spiritual stones. Such a high transaction price could be said to be the highest in the history of the Wu¡¯s auction house in blue light City. Usually, auctions would take place, but the final treasures would only exceed a million. Today, the price had reached 10 million, which was a great promotion for the reputation of the Wu¡¯s auction house. Furthermore, his young master had even managed to obtain a jade talisman. This was the key to entering the ancient battlefield ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s over ¡­¡± The door of the private room opened, and Lin Mo walked out slowly. He had completely erased all traces of his cultivation. He could now change his appearance as he wished. If he wanted to hide now, no one would be able to find him. haha, I didn¡¯t expect it to be Wu mo of the Wu family who won the Jade talisman. I just don¡¯t know if you can hold on to it. Li Yu didn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s opinions at all and said this without any hesitation. Some of the others ¡®eyes flickered, and their lips twitched, revealing a meaningful smile. At the front, Wu mo walked out. After feeling everyone¡¯s strange gazes, he also sneered. ¡°Hmph, whoever wants to take the Jade talisman from me, come at me.¡± As he spoke, he instantly released his powerful aura. The auction house trembled slightly, unable to bear it. At the same time, outside the auction house, guards walked in one by one. They were not weak and were in contact with each other. The battle intent was activated, and everyone was instantly on alert as if they were facing a great enemy. There were a total of thirty guards, and each of them was at the peak of Nirvana, only a step away from immortal-Foundation. But that was not important. What was important was that they had formed a battle formation. His battle intent was triggered, and the aura that burst out was even stronger than Wu Mo¡¯s. This was the Wu family¡¯s auction house, the Wu family¡¯s territory. If the Gongsun family didn¡¯t take over, blue light City would have been the Wu family¡¯s territory before this. They had stationed their troops here, and if they formed a battle formation, even a King would find it difficult to break through. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Seeing that the Army had sent reinforcements, Wu mo snorted coldly and looked quite proud. There were many geniuses who were more powerful than him, but they didn¡¯t dare to move. Suddenly, he saw Lin Mo. The latter had already received all the spirit stones from the maidservant. He seemed to be indifferent to the 30 people who had entered. Lin Mo, you¡¯re still so calm even when you¡¯re about to die. Do you have enough self-control, or are you just pretending? ¡± Wu mo looked at Lin Mo coldly. The killing intent in his heart was very strong, and he could not wait to kill Lin Mo right now. In the distance, mu Yuzhu didn¡¯t show any signs of anxiousness when she saw this situation. She remained calm and unruffled as she calmly watched the confrontation. ¡°What, your Wu¡¯s auction house is open for business, and you still won¡¯t let people leave?¡± Lin Mo was neither servile nor overbearing. His words instantly choked Wu mo to death. This guy was not the Wu family¡¯s head. The reputation of a city was not something that he could give up just because he said so. Seeing Wu Mo¡¯s ashen face, Lin Mo smiled at him teasingly, bypassed the guards blocking the way, and left. ¡°Young master Wumo, I believe that these days, Languang city will be even more lively. I hope you¡¯ll be fine.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared into the crowd. After leaving this place, it was almost impossible for Wu mo to find Lin Mo. ¡°Bastard ¡­¡± f * ck! Wu mo cursed. He did not expect this. The Wu family had an auction house here. Lin Mo was a guest and could not be neglected ¡­ If not for that, he would have killed Lin Mo at the first moment. ¡°Brother Wumo, don¡¯t worry. He¡¯s just a clown. Leave him to me. You deal with the rest of the trouble.¡± Behind Wu mo, Guan Yao, who was dressed in a black robe, walked out and chuckled. Wu mo nodded. He was indeed in a lot of trouble now. Countless eyes were staring at him. Once he broke the rules first and took action by force, the Wu¡¯s auction house would probably be torn down in an instant. Lin Mo left the auction house and walked through the streets and alleys. He visited many shops and changed his clothes at every place he went. He was not going back to his previous residence. He changed his appearance and found a new hotel to stay in. When he checked in, he could sense that several of his neighbors were very powerful and often went out to the Wu¡¯s auction house. it seems that there will be a huge storm in the near future. I¡¯d better not go out. Lin Mo chuckled. After the World-changing spell, he had completely disappeared from Languang city. At this moment, he was in his room, setting up a formation. He was sitting cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by a pile of upper spiritual stones. Other than that, there were also many heavenly treasures, each of which was extremely precious. He circulated the spirit devouring mantra and the suction force of the spirit devouring body spread out. The spirit stones in the surroundings began to decrease at a visible rate. The spiritual energy in some of the Supreme treasures was also flowing away. Lin Mo¡¯s aura continued to grow stronger. Although the first step of immortal Foundation was divided into Nine Heavens, it was nothing to the God devouring body. There were over a million upper spiritual stones and so many treasures. In just three days, the spirit stone turned into ashes and the treasure disappeared completely. Lin Mo had absorbed all the spirit Qi. And his cultivation level, after devouring the last trace of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the room, quietly rose. ¡°Oh,¡± A massive amount of energy filled his body, and spirit Qi flowed through his limbs and bones. He felt like he had an endless amount of power. Feeling the power flowing through his body, Lin Mo smiled and muttered, ¡± ¡°He¡¯s already at the second heavenly layer of the first level of immortal-Foundation ¡­¡± Chapter 580 - 580 The Dispute Begins 580 The Dispute Begins Not only did his realm increase, but he could also perfectly control the runes that could change the world. we don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on outside. It might have already been snatched away. Lin Mo frowned. Wu mo would not stay in Languang city forever. He would definitely find a way to leave this place. And in Languang city, the most powerful existence was perhaps that Army. The people of the Gongsun family didn¡¯t make a move, and even some of the older generation didn¡¯t make a move. Only the younger generation would compete. It was a relatively fair environment, but it was filled with danger. There would be people of the older generation observing in the dark. since I¡¯ve encountered the ancient battlefield, I have to go there. I can¡¯t miss it. Lin Mo smiled and walked out of the room. He did not wear his black robe and bamboo hat. He changed his appearance and went out. After some inquiries, Wu mo was still hiding in the Wu¡¯s auction house and had not gone out. He also knew that it would not be easy to leave with the Jade talisman. However, after a few days of preparation, more and more people had come to Languang city, and there was no lack of experts among them. Although this was still the Wu¡¯s territory, they couldn¡¯t control the situation anymore. In the beginning, those people would still give face to the Gongsun family and would not cause any disputes on the surface. However, as time dragged on, someone might not be able to resist taking action. At that time, a fierce battle would break out. At the thought of this, Lin Mo grinned. He was drinking in a restaurant while listening to the discussions of others. The news that Wu mo had obtained the hidden Dragon Pavilion¡¯s jade talisman was spreading all over the streets and alleys. Occasionally, there would be others, but they were all short-lived. ¡°By the way, have you guys heard any news about Lin Mo recently?¡± Lin Mo was still drinking and listening to the others ¡®discussion when his name suddenly appeared in the conversation. ¡°Lin Mo, is that the person who auctioned the Thunderheart grass and Void Spirit sword?¡± that¡¯s right. In the beginning, everyone thought he was a genius who had hidden his identity to fight. In the end, he turned out to be a clown who was trying to please the crowd. ¡°Haha, I remember now.¡± The crowd chimed in one after another, causing the veins on Lin Mo¡¯s forehead to pop out. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look for him. Lin Mo has already been killed. I heard that it was corpse puppet sect¡¯s Guan Yao who made the move,¡± that¡¯s true. Corpse puppet sect¡¯s Guan Yao is Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s fifth general. His strength is extraordinary. With him, even if Lin Mo isn¡¯t weak, he shouldn¡¯t be able to survive. ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo was no longer in the mood to listen as the topic shifted to him. He paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant. He had just walked out when he saw a group of guards leaving in an orderly manner. They were the guards of the Wu¡¯s, but many of them were powerful. Maybe someone else had mixed in with them ¡­ ¡°It seems that Wu mo is planning to leave?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Opposite his restaurant was the Wu¡¯s auction house, and Wu mo was inside at this time. As early as the last auction, this place had stopped business and had been in a state of alert. Many guards were gathered at the entrance of the auction house. Wu mo was mobilizing his troops and was about to make a move. This action also caused the other people in Languang city to become more alert. People could feel a stifling killing intent spreading throughout Languang city. ¡°I guess we¡¯ll be taking action today.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he watched the commotion at the entrance of the auction house. He then turned around and left. After he left, more and more people casually strolled here to observe Wu Mo¡¯s movements. On this day, the sun set in the West, and night quietly fell. Groups of people from the Wu¡¯s auction house left quietly. They rode on demonic beasts and left Languang city. It was also at this moment that Languang city was opened to the public, and they could leave. One after another, figures walked out of the city gate and flew away, covering the sky and the earth. The Black Mass formed a magnificent scene. Lin Mo strolled out of the city. He stood at the city gate and looked around, frowning slightly. His soul power had been locked on Wu Mo¡¯s men, but he finally found that this group of people was moving very fast. After they left the city, they immediately split up into five groups and left. ¡°Splitting up into five groups to confuse sight and hearing?¡± Lin Mo pondered. He was sure that Wu mo had already left. There was Wu Mo¡¯s aura among the group of people who left the city. There was no mistake about this. Unless that guy also had a secret technique similar to the great art of heaven and earth changing. ¡°Yi, mu Yuzhu has moved out.¡± As he walked, Lin Mo felt a powerful aura flying across the sky. It was not hidden, and it came from mu Yuzhu. that can¡¯t be right. She could have entered the hidden Dragon rank herself and obtained a place in the hidden Dragon Pavilion. Why would she fight for it? ¡± He was a little confused. Could it be that this jade talisman had some special benefits that had not been made public? ¡°Fellow Daoist, why aren¡¯t you giving chase? that woman mu Yuzhu has already made her move. If she succeeds, we won¡¯t have any more chances.¡± More people flew over from behind. Seeing that Lin Mo was walking slowly, they were curious. Someone was flying in the middle of these people, and it was a familiar face. The person who had come was Li Yu. This time, he did not bring a beauty with him, as he did not dare to be careless. ¡°Sir, you think too highly of me. I just happened to be taking this path, I don¡¯t have any other intentions.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly flew up. He felt that although Li Yu was fickle-minded, he was easy to talk to. He opened his mouth to ask, voicing out the doubts in his heart. ¡°Did I misjudge?¡± Li Yu was a little surprised. It was such a coincidence that this guy was going to take this road? However, when he saw the doubt in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, he knew that he was not pretending. He nodded and said generously. ¡°The hidden Dragon Pavilion controls a type of power. Every year, it can recover a little, and the amount recovered is just enough to form three Jade talismans.¡± therefore, there are only 3000 slots to enter the ancient battlefield. However, every time it opens, millions of people will enter. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. If so many people could enter, what was the point of fighting? naturally, it¡¯s because of the special nature of the Jade talisman. Those who enter with the Jade talisman can return intact even if they die on the battlefield. Their Foundation and origin won¡¯t be damaged. ¡°There are only 3000 spots to avoid death, and the supply is in short supply. What do you think?¡± Li Yu laughed out loud. He could also get a jade talisman from the hidden Dragon Pavilion, but he wanted to get one for his younger brother as well. That mu Yuzhu was the same. She wanted to snatch one for her maidservant to save her life ¡­ ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. I¡¯ve gained some knowledge.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists in thanks. A perfect resurrection was a heaven-defying opportunity. No wonder those people were fighting so crazily for it. ¡°We¡¯ll talk next time if we¡¯re fated to. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Li Yu waved goodbye and flew away with his subordinates, leaving Lin Mo alone in deep thought. ¡°It looks like we¡¯re still going to snatch it.¡± Lin Mo spread out his hands and flew down slowly. He also wanted a chance to avoid death. However, he was alone and couldn¡¯t be anxious. He would let those guys fight first. It would be best if they were all injured before he made his move. He walked like this, changing his appearance from time to time, and did not attract anyone¡¯s attention. However, on the way, they met someone who had some grudges with them ¡­ Chapter 581 - 581 Crossing The Sea With Deception 581 Crossing The Sea With Deception Crossing the sea with deception ¡°Guan Yao ¡­¡± A black-robed man stopped in front of Lin Mo and looked at him coldly. Lin Mo was taken aback when he saw the man. Shouldn¡¯t he have left? why was he here? ¡°Who are you?¡± When Guan Yao saw Lin Mo, he was shocked. However, after sensing that Lin Mo was only at the second level of the first level of immortal-Foundation, he laughed coldly. he¡¯s only a half-step Almighty. How dare he come and steal the Jade talismans? he must be tired of living. ¡°Swish!¡± A black shadow appeared, and the space cracked open. A figure appeared in front of Lin Mo. He was wearing a black robe, and his eyes were empty. His palm was as thin as a stick, as if it was skin and bones, without any vitality. ¡°Is it awkward?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. It was said that the combat power of puppets was extremely strong and their bodies were invincible. However, he did not know if that was true. Back in the eastern continent, the ghost king had turned Tian Sha and the others into puppets at the last moment, and they had once displayed powerful combat strength. At that time, Lin Mo was already unrivaled in the eastern Peninsula. Experts of the same level posed no threat to him. ¡°I¡¯m very curious, what do you mean by not following Wu mo and staying here?¡± Lin Mo smiled. Guan Yao would not appear here for no reason. Maybe he had a jade talisman in his hand at this time. He would ask Wu mo to lead the crowd away while he quietly took it away ¡­ ¡°The dead will not be curious.¡± Guan Yao laughed coldly and ordered the puppet to attack Lin Mo, killing him with every attack. At the same time, he attacked Lin Mo as well. He wanted to kill Lin Mo in the shortest time possible. ¡°Ah, my cultivation level is. little low ¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He was able to handle the puppet with ease. After all, the puppet could not use spirit Qi or martial arts. However, when Guan Yao joined the battle, the situation was reversed. He was only in the second heaven, while Guan Yao was already in the ninth heaven. He was very strong, and it was hard for him to fight back. ¡°Now you know your realm is low?¡± Guan Yao smiled sarcastically. In his eyes, the person in front of him was just a person who was blinded by profit. He had some ability, but he didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth. ¡°It is indeed. little difficult to deal with you ¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. His cultivation level was too low, and this place was not suitable for fighting. If he caused too much of a commotion, he would attract others. At that time, it would be difficult for him to hide from everyone. ¡°Let¡¯s end the battle quickly ¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and activated the heaven-and-Earth Transformation. The spirit devouring mantra circulated his spirit Qi to form a defense in his body. At the same time, a wisp of purple light flickered under his feet, but it was well hidden. ¡°Ruthless!¡± A bird¡¯s cry resounded as Lin Mo¡¯s body burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, a Vermilion Bird appeared behind him. ¡°The Vermilion bird¡¯s cloud-piercing four destruction spell?¡± Guan Yao was shocked. Just as he was about to control the puppet to return, it was swallowed by the fire. The puppet was a cold Yin object. Unless it was made of special materials, it would be difficult to withstand the Vermilion bird¡¯s flames. In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the Vermilion bird¡¯s cry could be heard for hundreds of miles. Guan Yao used his martial arts, and his body was surrounded by a deathly aura. Although he was restrained, he was of a higher level than Lin Mo. The two offset each other, and Guan Yao managed to block the Vermilion bird¡¯s flames with great difficulty. However, in the next moment, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that Lin Mo had already appeared in front of him. At that moment, Lin Mo spread his kun Peng wings, a Qilin pattern appeared under his feet, and he held the space-splitting divine sword in his hand. The sword Qi cut through the void and the kun Peng wings brought about extreme speed. It was as if he was teleporting and Guan Yao could not react in time. By the time he wanted to block, the space-splitting divine sword had already cut off his head. Lin Mo¡¯s foot stomped on his chest, and the Qilin tattoo exploded. The terrifying power spread and shattered his body. However, just as he was about to kill Guan Yao, a golden light appeared between his eyebrows. He could feel that Guan Yao¡¯s soul had disappeared. Only his head was left, and his life force was gone. ¡°He escaped?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Guan Yao knew so many of his trump cards, but he escaped? what technique is that? it can actually allow one¡¯s soul to escape into the void instantly and travel a thousand miles in an instant ¡­ He was shocked. He didn¡¯t get anything in this battle and even exposed his trump card. It would be difficult to deal with the following. ¡°Eh?¡± The sea of fire spread, and within the flames, the pieces of Guan Yao¡¯s body were burned. Lin Mo could feel the aura of metal ores from within. ¡°Not a living being?¡± After the flames dissipated, Lin Mo stepped forward to take a look. He realized that even the remaining head did not have any signs of life. Or it could be said that the vitality that he had displayed before was brought by his soul. Now that his soul had escaped, all that was left was a useless shell ¡­ they say that the art of puppets is ever-changing. There¡¯s also a saying about the death substitution technique. It seems that Guan Yao has mastered the corresponding technique. Sensing carefully, Lin Mo suddenly realized that Guan Yao¡¯s soul had escaped in the direction of Languang city. Even though his aura had disappeared very quickly, Lin Mo could still sense it. ¡°Deceive the heavens and cross the sea?¡± He was shocked. If Guan Yao¡¯s real body was still in Languang city, did that mean that Wu mo was also there? ¡®He knows the death substitution technique. Does that mean that Wu mo also knows a similar technique to insert his soul into the puppet and create the illusion that he has left ¡­¡¯ Didn¡¯t that mean that the real jade talisman was still in Languang city? ¡°What a deep scheme. If I had not met him by chance, I would have really been deceived ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. After some consideration, he turned around and returned to Languang city. As for the traces of the battle there, he didn¡¯t have time to hide it. If it was exposed, so be it. Back here, he realized that Guan Yao¡¯s aura had passed through here and left through another gate of Languang city. ¡°You¡¯re good at deceiving the heavens and the sea,¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in admiration and quietly gave chase. He did not alert anyone and simply followed quietly all the way. Outside Languang city, a group of people quietly passed by. Under the cover of the night, they passed by without any movement. They walked all the way to a Valley before stopping. This place was extremely well hidden. They stopped here and took out formation flags, planning to set up a formation. Suddenly, the skinny figure at the back of the group stopped. He raised his head, his eyes were empty, and he slowly turned his head to look behind him. ¡°Young master Wumo, Lord Guan Yao ¡­¡± When the people who were with him saw him like this, they quickly reported the situation. However, in the next moment, a golden light flashed across the valley, and he instantly woke up from his dull eyes. ¡°Bastard ¡­¡± As soon as he woke up, he let out a furious roar, and his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The powerful pressure on his body made the people around him not dare to get close, and they were all trembling. ¡°Brother Guan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wu mo hurried over, surprised. According to the plan, shouldn¡¯t guan Yao be following those pursuers? Why did his soul return directly now? could it be that he had been discovered? ¡°Hurry up and activate the teleportation formation, or it¡¯ll be too late.¡± Guan Yao quickly ordered. He didn¡¯t have the time to explain. He personally went down and built the teleportation formation with Wu mo. That person would soon follow the Traces of the Soul and come here. If he did not leave now, he would not be able to leave ¡­ ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s too late!¡± Chapter 582 - 582 Jade Talisman In Hand 582 Jade Talisman In Hand A few rays of sword qi appeared and broke the formation flags that had just been set up. A crack appeared in the space and Lin Mo walked out. He looked at these people with a smile. They were good at deceiving the world and secretly doing things, but unfortunately, they were one step behind¡­ ¡°Who are you?¡± Guan Yao said coldly. They didn¡¯t know this man at all. They had never heard of him before. His cultivation was also very low, but he had a terrifying and unimaginable combat power. ¡°A dead man will not be curious.¡± Lin Mo laughed and returned Guan Yao¡¯s words to him. He pointed the space splitting divine sword forward. If he delayed any longer, things might change. He had to end the battle quickly to prevent others from following him. ¡°Let¡¯s go together and attack with all our strength.¡± Guan Yao shouted and summoned three puppets. He joined forces with Wu Mo and fought Lin Mo together. As for the others, they continued to refine the formation flags and set up the teleportation formation. They couldn¡¯t stay here for long. It wouldn¡¯t be long before the majority of their forces were annihilated. At that time, if they didn¡¯t find the jade talismans, they would definitely return. ¡°He¡¯s merely at the second heavenly layer of the first step of immortal-foundation, yet the power he erupted forth with is actually so terrifying.¡± Wu Mo was shocked. This person was definitely a genius that could rival Gongsun Wenhao. This made him recall the thunder heart grass and the heavenly tribulation even earlier. Could he be the person who had fought the true dragon to a draw? His appearance was ordinary, and there was nothing outstanding about him. It was very easy for people to ignore him. This should not be his original appearance. Wu Mo guessed in his heart. Although there was no evidence, this subconscious awareness made him convinced that he had guessed correctly. ¡°This jade talisman is to be offered to Gongsun Wenhao. You dared to snatch it, but don¡¯t you dare to leave your identity behind?¡± Wu Mo shouted coldly. He was afraid that he couldn¡¯t keep the jade talisman today. No matter what, he had to find out the other party¡¯s identity. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t be able to give an explanation. ¡°Hand over the jade talismans and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Lin Mo smiled and extended his hand to ask for the jade talisman. He was worried that if he forced the other party into a corner, it would cause unnecessary losses in a life-and-death struggle. ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± To his surprise, Wu Mo actually threw out the jade talisman without any hesitation. Guan Yao was unwilling, but he had no choice but to leave. He stood in front of the teleportation formation that was almost ready. ¡°He really gave it to me. Could it be fake?¡± Lin Mo was a little taken aback. Since when did the two of them become so forthright? He took the rune and observed it carefully. In the end, he realized that it was real¡­ ¡°You can tell me who you are now.¡± Wu Mo said coldly. The jade talisman had been stolen, so the task that Gongsun Wenhao had given him could be considered a failure. If he could bring back a name, he could be considered to be taking the blame¡­ Furthermore, he suspected that the person in front of him was the one who had gone through the tribulation. Gongsun Wenhao had met him before and was very interested in him. Bringing his name and identity back should be able to calm his anger. ¡°My identity is, of course, your old acquaintance.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not hesitate. He dispelled the great art of earthshaking and returned to his original appearance. ¡°Lin Mo¡­¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± The two of them turned pale with fright. How could this person, who was originally just a minor character in their eyes, be so powerful? ¡°Were you the one who went through the tribulation that day?¡± Wu Mo roared. If that was the case, then the thunderheart grass was also a product of his tribulation. This made him feel a lingering fear. He had actually provoked such a terrifying existence. If Lin Mo really wanted to make a move, he would not be able to live for long. He didn¡¯t doubt that he could match Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s combat power. Even if there was a difference in their cultivation levels, it would not be difficult for Lin Mo to kill him. Just like now, when he joined forces with Guan Yao, he was suppressed by Lin Mo and could not fight back. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve told you what you should know. Now, you can go.¡± Lin Mo sneered. The space-severing divine sword cut open the void, and the Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open. ¡°Block¡­¡± Guan Yao shouted. The teleportation formation was behind them, it was their last hope of survival. It couldn¡¯t be destroyed. However, when faced with Lin Mo¡¯s full strength, their combat strength seemed to be somewhat weak. In just a few dozen moves, the defense line had crumbled, and the teleportation formation that had just been set up behind them was destroyed once again. ¡°This time, you don¡¯t have the death substitution technique, right?¡± Lin Mo slashed his sword at Wu Mo, forcing him to defend with all his might. Then, he used his left hand as a sword and stabbed towards Guan Yao¡¯s forehead. It was so fast that he could not dodge. ¡°Clash!¡± The sound of metal clashing could be heard. A puppet appeared in front of Guan Yao and blocked the sword finger. However, the terrifying sword qi had also caused the puppet to explode into pieces. metal fragments, corpses, and bones flew all over the sky. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± After the puppet was killed, Guan Yao spat out a mouthful of blood. As he staggered back, his sword-fingers struck out with a thunderous momentum. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Guan Yao wanted to summon his puppet to block the attack but it was too late. The sword finger pierced through Guan Yao¡¯s forehead and lightning spread out. His soul was severely injured and was on the verge of collapsing. ¡°What?¡± The moment it pierced through Guan Yao¡¯s forehead, he felt a terrifying aura in his soul. Not far away, in Languang city, which was less than a hundred miles away. ¡°This is bad¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He could not delay any longer. He quickly took off Guan Yao¡¯s storage bag and attacked Wu Mo at the same time. ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­¡± The illusory Vermilion Bird appeared, and the valley instantly turned into a sea of fire. Meanwhile, Wu Mo¡¯s head was split open by Lin Mo¡¯s space severing divine sword. He dispersed his soul and took the interspatial ring. The time between killing Guan Yao and Wu Mo was only two or three seconds. Lin Mo swung his sword again and killed all of their subordinates, leaving no one alive. After doing this, he slashed open the void with his sword. The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open, and with a flap, he instantly brought him a hundred miles away. The next moment, a tide of spiritual qi appeared where he had been. The space was sealed, and a terrifying pressure spread. He didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer. He fled quickly and used the extreme speed of the kun peng to reach his maximum speed. He burrowed into the boundless mountain range and disappeared¡­ ¡°Bastard, you actually tried to kill me in a fight between the younger generation. You¡¯re really courting death.¡± A white-robed old man flew out of Languang city. His face was full of wrinkles, but at this moment, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy. Just now, Wu mo and Guan Yao¡¯s soul lamps were extinguished and they were killed. He immediately sealed the void and chased after the murderer, but it was too late. The murderer had already escaped and was controlling the kun peng wings to move at an extreme speed. The possibility of him catching up was very small¡­ Languang city was in an uproar. Some people knew that they had been tricked and had returned. When they heard the old man¡¯s angry roar, they looked at each other and revealed helpless expressions. Two women appeared in the air, attracting the attention of countless people. They were Mu Yuzhu and her servant. At this moment, the spiritual aura fluctuations on their bodies were very large. It was obvious that they had also experienced a great battle. After giving chase, an earth-shattering battle erupted there. Even if Mu Yuzhu had made a move, she had also exhausted a lot of her energy. However, when she suppressed the entire scene and forced Li Yu and the other experts to retreat, she discovered that the so-called Wu Mo was just a puppet stained with his blood essence. ¡°I was tricked. However, Wu Mo and Guan Yao seem to be dead¡­¡± Chapter 583 - 583 A Battle Between Geniuses 583 A Battle Between Geniuses ¡°Young lady, we have worked for nothing. These people are really cunning¡­¡± The maidservant pulled a long face. After all, the jade talisman was supposed to be snatched for her. She had clearly won, but the result was like this¡­ hehe, I should say that he¡¯s smart. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. I¡¯m actually very interested in the person who stole the jade talisman. Mu Yuzhu wasn¡¯t annoyed. She chuckled and left. There was no longer any value in staying here. Moreover, Wu Mo and Guan Yao were dead, so the corpse puppet sect and the Wu family would probably not let this matter rest. She was the extraordinary lady of the Mu clan, the number one heaven¡¯s favorite of the zhu state. The people from the other forces couldn¡¯t wait for her to die early, so she couldn¡¯t stay outside for long. ¡°Are you going back? However, this battle was tacitly approved by many forces, so the Wu family and corpse puppet sect can¡¯t pursue it.¡± The maid, Xiaoqing, was a little reluctant. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to come out and she didn¡¯t want to go back. ¡°No matter what, you have to be careful of a life and death struggle.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. She didn¡¯t try to hide her voice, so many people heard her. This made many of the guards in Languang city dissatisfied. They felt that Mu Yuzhu was too arrogant, daring to say such words¡­ However, they didn¡¯t dare to say anything in the end. The Mu clan wasn¡¯t to be trifled with, and Mu Yuzhu was the hope of the Zhu state. Unless he had no other choice, he must not touch her¡­ ¡°BOOM!¡± A terrifying explosion rang out as the Kun Peng Wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back flapped and carried him away. The one chasing him was a king. He raised his hand and the space around him collapsed. Even the Kun Peng¡¯s speed was useless. If he did not have the space-severing divine sword, he might have really been caught. ¡°Phew, I¡¯ve finally escaped.¡± Lin Mo laughed heartily. In a single day, he had fled for nearly 100000 miles, shuttling through the boundless mountain range. Guan Yao and Wu Mo¡¯s collection was also very rich. Lin Mo threw away some of the treasures that symbolized his status. He kept the rest. He used the spirit stones for cultivation and kept the treasures for auction. He cultivated in the mountains and traveled alone, fighting demonic beasts and picking spiritual herbs. He even went deep into a dangerous area alone to pick a golden sunflower. It was a tier 9 earth grade spirit herb. He had paid a great price to pick it, and it took him three days to recover. ¡°I¡¯ll be able to get a heaven grade divine flower after the auction¡­¡± Lin Mo grinned. The northern lands were indeed a heaven for cultivators. The mountains were vast and boundless. He got a map from Wu Mo¡¯s interspatial ring. It was a map of Yun State, and it was drawn very carefully. The map was three meters wide, and it recorded in detail where the special cultivation places were. There might be spiritual herbs above tier 5 earth grade growing there. He was still in the territory of the Wu family. The nameless mountain was too big. He had been flying for more than ten days and still hadn¡¯t left. The Northern Continent was too big to be measured, and the cloud plane was the same. It would take him more than a month to cross a mountain range. Even if he ran at full speed and was not stopped along the way, it would probably take him more than ten days to leave. He was helpless. He was far away in the Northern Contient, but Jiang Xiyue was in the southern land. How could they meet? If they really wanted to meet, they could only use the teleportation array. Otherwise, with the infinite distance, it would be difficult for them to meet in this lifetime¡­ Another half a month passed. He was training in the mountains and met countless demonic beasts. There were also many mutated beasts with terrifying bloodlines and monstrous battle prowess that caused him quite a bit of trouble. On this day, Lin Mo finally walked out of the mountain range and changed his appearance with the heaven-and-Earth Transformation spell. This was the nearest city to Languang city, and also the Wu family¡¯s territory. However, there was no martial law. Apparently, they also thought that the person who could kill Wu Mo must be a genius disciple of that big family. After obtaining the jade talisman, he might have already set up his own teleportation formation and left. Every time the teleportation formation in the city was activated, it would consume a huge amount of energy, and it required countless natural treasures to use. Lin Mo paid 200000 upper spiritual stones and received a token. When it was time to open, he could take the battleship to the teleportation formation. They had to wait until there were enough people and they had received enough rewards before they could open it. Since Lin Mo had nothing to do, he took out some of the treasures he had obtained during this period of time and sent them to the auction house for auction. As for himself, he went to the city¡¯s trading area, hoping to find some treasures there. congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the earth grade rank 1 Xi Ling fruit. [ Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Rank 2 earth realm light wing fruit ] When he arrived at the trading area, the auction for the item that Lin Mo had placed for auction had already started. He had already received a return-profit treasure. ¡°Yes, the good things in this place are not inferior to the auction house¡­¡± Lin Mo was slightly shocked. He could already see a lot of good treasures with his naked eyes. However, these peddlers were all very shrewd, and the prices they called were generally very high, basically equal to the value of the treasures. This also caused their business to not be very good. There was nothing cheap, and very few people were willing to get involved¡­ ¡°Hmm, there¡¯s still half a year before the hidden Dragon Pavilion opens the ancient battlefield¡­¡± On the way, Lin Mo heard more news, and the venue was quite far away. The only stronghold of the hidden Dragon Pavilion was located in the central area of the Northern Continent, the Dragon state. It was also the place where jade talismans were made. ¡°In that case, that mysterious girl escaped from the Dragon State¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in his heart. The distance between the Dragon state and the Cloud state was more than ten states. This young girl could really run¡­ ¡°Friend, I want to ask you something. Do you know who won the battle between u Yuzhu and Gongsun Wenhao?¡± At this moment, there were people around Lin Mo asking about the battle between the two geniuses. ¡°What battle? Mu Yuzhu and Gongsun Wenhao fought?¡± Some people were puzzled. Their city wasn¡¯t considered closed off, so why hadn¡¯t there been any news before? I know about this. It¡¯s because of a young genius named Lin Mo. He killed Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s subordinates, Wu Mo and Guan Yao. Someone said, telling others about what had happened in Languang city a month ago. Even Lin Mo was listening attentively. He wanted to know what had happened in Languang city during the month he had been in the mountains. It turned out that after Wu mo and Guan Yao died, Gongsun Wenhao came through the teleportation formation the next day. After an investigation, Gongsun Wenhao suspected that Mu Yuzhu was the murderer, and he attacked her. The two of them started a huge battle, and the battle shocked the world. The news spread like crazy, because these two were both geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Mu Yuzhu, in particular, was ranked ninth, and was one of the top ten. The battle lasted for six hours. In the end, it was the Mu family elder who appeared and stopped the battle. This was because someone from the Gongsun family had secretly set up a formation in an attempt to trap and kill Mu Yuzhu. In the end, the battle was over. After some investigation, they found out that a man named Lin Mo had killed Wu Mo and Guan Yao. The news of this battle spread quickly. Many people were concerned about the situation before the elders of both sides interfered. ¡°Mu Yuzhu naturally had the upper hand in the previous battle.¡± That person laughed. He was very lucky to have been there to watch a great battle between peerless geniuses. Chapter 584 - 584 Zhuyan Body 584 Zhuyan Body-tempering Technique It was said that the two of them had fought for 3000 rounds, and in the early stages, Mu Yuzhu had basically suppressed Gongsun Wenhao. However, after the two of them got serious, the difference between the upper and lower levels of the battle could no longer be seen, because they were starting to get serious. However, one thing was certain. The elder of the Gongsun family had attacked because he had seen that Gongsun Wenhao was about to be exhausted. On the other hand, mu Yuzhu still had the strength to resist the killing formation after repelling Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°She¡¯s that powerful¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. As expected of the number one genius of the bamboo state. His combat strength was hard to imagine. It was no wonder that after breaking through to immortal-foundation, she was able to sweep aside all the geniuses in the continent and finally step into the ninth place on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. ¡°However, even with her combat strength, she can only be ranked ninth. Then, how strong are the top five, top three, and number one?¡± Lin Mo was looking forward to it. He yearned to fight with these geniuses. However, before that, he still had to improve his cultivation level. Even if he could not catch up with them, he could not fall too far behind¡­ ¡°Hey, How long have you been standing here? Are you buying or not? if you¡¯re not, then get lost.¡± A rough voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears, breaking his train of thought. He saw a middle-aged brawny man with fire in his eyes, staring at him. It was only then that Lin Mo realized that he had come here to look for treasure¡­ ¡°Ahem, sorry, I was too absorbed in it. I¡¯ll buy it, of course I¡¯ll buy it.¡± Lin Mo took out the spiritual stone with a smile. He was interested in a thunder stone. It was a tier 3 earth grade stone and contained a strong thunder element power. congratulations to the host for auctioning the tier 6 earth grade skill, breath control scroll. [ Successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest ] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining a tier 8 earth grade cultivation skill, soul nurturing and breath art.] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice rang in his mind, reminding him of the treasures he would be getting from the auction. ¡°Breath freezing scroll¡­ I remember that this is the finale. Has the auction ended¡­¡± Lin Mo took the thunder stones and headed to the auction house, no longer in the mood to stroll around the trade fair. The manager welcomed him warmly and told him that there would be an auction in three days. The final treasure would be delivered soon, and he invited Lin Mo to participate. ¡°Sure, as long as you don¡¯t delay me from using the teleportation array to leave.¡± Since he had nothing to do, Lin Mo naturally would not refuse. He might even be able to get some treasures at the auction¡­ ¡°Oh right, help me auction these off.¡± After receiving the treasures for today¡¯s auction from the manager, Lin Mo took out some of them. The amount was much more than before. Cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, pill recipes, secret techniques, and so on were all found in Guan Yao and Wu Mo¡¯s collections. These items were useless to Lin Mo, and they would only take up space if he kept them. Therefore, he decided to auction them off and earn some spirit stones. ¡°Thank you, my guest. You are my lucky star.¡± The manager was all smiles. In his eyes, Lin Mo must be a rich young master from some family. He must have many treasures on him¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s continue training¡­¡± Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the residence arranged by the auction house. He took out some spirit stones and some treasures he had won from the auction. The soul-devouring technique circulated silently. A terrifying suction force erupted and began to devour the surrounding spiritual qi. At the same time, Lin Mo was also studying the world-changing spell and was more familiar with the runes. The cultivation continued, and the world-changing spell became purer and purer. Lin Mo also looked at the other two scrolls. After thinking for a while, he opened the first form of the zhuyan body tempering technique. This was not a cultivation method. To be precise, this could be considered the secret cultivation method of the zhuyan. The physical body of the zhuyan tribe was extremely strong and was known as the indestructible body of Vajra. It was comparable to the strongest Dharmakaya of Buddhism, the sixteen-foot golden body. Among the demonic beasts, only the true dragon, the chaotic world demonic ape, and other terrifying existences could match the zhuyan¡¯s physical body. One could only imagine how terrifying the physical body of the zhuyan was. ¡°It¡¯s said that countless years ago, there was a chaotic demonic ape that unified the demonic beast world and called itself the beast God.¡± ¡°Their race¡¯s great emperor¡¯s ancient scripture was left behind by that existence.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. That was the impression he had of the chaotic world demonic ape. The zhuyan ape was a branch of its descendants, who had perfectly inherited the terrifying body of the chaotic world demonic ape. He observed the body refining technique. Although it was only one move, he was still shocked to see the cultivation method and results. ¡°Can a normal person¡¯s body really withstand it?¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. The zhuyan¡¯s cultivation method was so violent that it required the consumption of endless natural treasures. The consumption of spirit herbs, ores, precious materials, and so on was too great. ¡°There are only two moves in total. The first move has already stumped countless people¡­¡± He shook his head bitterly. Even he was stumped, because this was a terrifying consumption. The cultivation method recorded in one form could only be cultivated by those below the king tier. It required the innate qi essence of countless spirit herbs to forcibly absorb it into the body and seal it with precious materials. Finally, he ignited the Dao fire and completely ignited this innate energy essence. Not using spiritual energy to resist and using pure physical strength to resist was no different from suicide in the eyes of ordinary people. However, this was the key to the Zhu Yan¡¯s powerful physical body. The Dao fire would fuse these connate energy essences into the body and make it stronger as one cultivated. This benefit was permanent, but the death rate was also surprisingly high. ¡°Moreover, it will not be easy to obtain the blood essence of the zhuyan¡­¡± Lin Mo was in a difficult position. If he wanted to cultivate, he could slowly gather the materials. It was only a matter of time before he gathered all of them. Most importantly, he didn¡¯t have the blood essence of zhuyan. It was used to extinguish the fire of Dao and heal the body at the last moment of cultivation. He was not from the Zhu Yan race, where he needed the blood essence of the Zhu Yan race to cultivate. Otherwise, he would die even if he had the God Devourer body. Soon, three days were up and Lin Mo stopped cultivating. At this time, his realm had increased a little, and he was close to the third heaven of the first step. After gathering the materials and going into seclusion, he would be able to complete his breakthrough¡­ ¡°Guest, you¡¯re making things difficult for me.¡± In the auction hall, Lin Mo sat in the VIP seat that had been arranged for him and sipped his tea in a relaxed manner. The manager had a bitter expression on his face. Every time Lin Mo looked for him, it was always a big business deal. He would either be buying medicinal herbs or auctioning off a large number of treasures. He could make a profit from either of them. However, this time, Lin Mo¡¯s appetite was unusually big. ¡°The auction house can¡¯t be closed after all, we have to auction every day. If you take away all the earth grade and above elixirs in one go, then I won¡¯t be able to do business for the next month.¡± The manager shook his head quickly. The auction house had its own mercenary group and they often went out to pick herbs. Basically, he would come back once a month or two, and for longer periods of time, it might even take about a year. During this period, they had been relying on their inventory to support themselves. If Lin Mo were to take away all the earth rank spirit herbs at once, he would have to close his shop. However, when he thought of the cultivation techniques and martial arts that Lin Mo had promised him, his heart ached and he was reluctant to part with them. That was a rank 7 or rank 8 Earth Class martial skill. Who would be willing to auction it? In the end, the steward hesitated and made a concession. He raised his head and said,¡±¡±I can only sell you one-third at most¡­¡± Chapter 585 - 585 The Map Of the Cloud Mist Island 585 The Map Of the Cloud Mist Island The map of the cloud Mist Island One-third was already the biggest concession he could make. This way, he could also tell the regular customers that he had consumed the warehouse for these few martial arts and cultivation methods. ¡°No problem. This soul nurturing mind concentrating scroll and this fire Luo palm are for you. Let¡¯s have a pleasant cooperation.¡± Lin Mo was very straightforward. He took out two Scriptures on the spot, both of which were given by the system. If he wanted to practice the zhuyan body refining technique, he would need a lot of spiritual herbs. He would need hundreds of spiritual herbs above rank 5 Earth Class. Moreover, the most important thing was to prepare three heaven-grade divine herbs in addition to the blood essence of zhuyan. Two of them were used for cultivation, and one was used to save his life in case of emergency. this is too extravagant. If only I was in the Bai family now ¡­ Lin Mo sighed. The Bai family would definitely be able to come up with these resources, but he did not know if they would provide him with them. Bai Luo would definitely enjoy it first, followed by Jiang xiyue, who they had high hopes for ¡­ ¡®There¡¯s also Xiao die. My God Devourer body is not favored because it consumes too many resources ¡­¡¯ ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to think too much ¡­¡± Lin Mo retracted his thoughts and began to watch the auction seriously. The manager had said that the finale of this auction was an extraordinary treasure. He just didn¡¯t know what the treasure he was talking about was, because there were too few people attending the auction today. ¡°The first item, Earth Class rank 3 Thunder Stone.¡± this item contains a large amount of lightning element. If any of the friends here have lightning-attribute cultivators, they must not miss this opportunity. ¡°The starting price is 5000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The auctioneer was the manager. After he instructed someone to help Lin Mo collect the materials, he went up to host the auction. 5100 upper spiritual stones. ¡°Five thousand two hundred ¡­¡± The attack power of the lightning attribute was very strong, not inferior to that of the fire attribute. Thus, many people chose this path. As a result, Thunder stones were extremely popular. Four people started bidding the moment they appeared. After a round of bidding, the manager finally slammed the hammer down and made three bids. A middle-aged man bid 8100 upper spiritual stones for the item. [congratulations, host, you have successfully auctioned off a level 3 earth realm Thunder Stone.] [successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest] [congratulations to the host for obtaining a rank 5 earth realm sacred Thunder Stone] Lin Mo was overjoyed when he heard the system¡¯s voice. The sacred Thunderstone was a precious spirit stone that was recorded in the zhuyan body tempering technique. People with specific attributes would need corresponding Saint stones for cultivation. He had both lightning and fire attributes, so he needed a Saint Fire Stone. it¡¯s alright. Anyone below King tier can cultivate it. I¡¯m not in a hurry. Lin Mo was not in a hurry. On the path of cultivation, one had to cultivate one¡¯s body and mind. If one was too persistent in pursuing something, it would be counterproductive. The joy in his heart gradually subsided. Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the auction on the stage. Occasionally, there would be medicinal herbs recorded in the zhuyan body tempering technique, and he would buy them all. This trip could be considered a rich harvest. The treasures he had put up for auction had sold for a lot of spirit stones, almost reaching two million. He had also found three stalks of spirit herbs he needed. When the second last item was won by Lin Mo, the atmosphere in the auction house reached its peak. Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. He wanted to know what kind of treasure it was. ¡°Everyone, the anticipated treasure has arrived. Prepare to bid.¡± The manager chuckled and ordered the maidservant to bring out a silver plate. Under the red cloth was today¡¯s finale treasure. ¡°Everyone here is from the cloud plane. I¡¯m sure you all know that a secret realm unique to the cloud plane is about to open.¡± He lifted the red cloth, and on the silver plate was a yellowed sheepskin scroll. There were some crooked routes recorded in it. It looked like a map, but it didn¡¯t look like it. This ancient and simple aura spread out, and people knew that this sheepskin scroll must have a long history ¡­ ¡°Manager, What is this? the secret realm of the cloud plane should be referring to the cloud Mist Island, but what does it have to do with this?¡± Someone asked. They didn¡¯t understand how this sheepskin scroll had anything to do with the cloud Mist Island. Moreover, for the steward to use it as the finale, could it be that this map recorded the hiding place of some rare treasure? ¡°This ¡­ To be honest, I don¡¯t know either. I only know that it came from the cloud Mist Island.¡± The manager scratched his head awkwardly. This sheepskin scroll had been taken out for tens of thousands of years, and after going around in circles, it finally fell into his hands. If not for the fact that Lin Mo was a young master from a big family and should know what was good, he would not have taken it out. ¡°I don¡¯t know. If you don¡¯t know, why did you use it as the finale?¡± Someone said angrily. They had waited for so long, and in the end, it was just a broken map. More importantly, he still had to go to the cloud Mist Island to confirm whether this sheepskin scroll was a map or not ¡­ this sheepskin scroll must have existed for tens of thousands of years. I can go to the cloud Mist Island to take a look ¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s mind was active. Although he might be discovered by the Gongsun family, he had to cultivate the zhuyan body-tempering technique now. What he lacked the most was resources. If he could go to cloud Mist Island, he might be able to gain something. ¡°Manager, can you let me take a closer look at this map?¡± Lin Mo opened his mouth, wanting to take a look. ¡°Of course. Men, come.¡± When the manager heard Lin Mo¡¯s voice, he was overjoyed. This person had finally spoken. He was going to sell the map to Lin Mo. Soon, a maid came in with a silver plate. Lin Mo held the sheepskin scroll in his hand and observed it carefully. He realized that the patterns on it had already faded. It was only because there was an unusual aura that made people feel that the sheepskin scroll was hiding something ¡­ ¡°Oh,¡± His palm glowed, and the light enveloped the sheepskin scroll, blocking the maid¡¯s vision. In the system space, a sheepskin scroll appeared. Lin Mo could not tell what it was, so he kept it and waited for the system¡¯s answer. [ an ancient sheepskin scroll. There are special runes inside that can open the special space of Cloud Mist Island. ] Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, telling him the answer. It could be said that it was a key that could open up a space, but whether there were treasures in this space was another matter ¡­ ¡°Swish!¡± He took out the goatskin scroll and placed it on a silver plate for it to take back. When the manager saw the maidservant walk out, he also knocked on the auction hammer and said, ¡± ¡°Because I don¡¯t know the value of this map, so the base price is 500000. Is there anyone willing to bid?¡± 500,000 upper spiritual stones was enough to buy a rank 7 Earth Class magic tool. If he didn¡¯t die on a trip to Cloud Mist Island, this would be his normal harvest. No one would think that they had too many spirit stones and would be willing to take the risk. Lin Mo was also thinking about it. He was close to the third heaven of the first stage. With this harvest, breaking through would not be a problem. However, if he spent 500000 upper spiritual stones here, he might not have enough spiritual energy during the breakthrough ¡­ well, it¡¯s a big bet. Do you want to give it a try? ¡± Lin Mo frowned. He was itching to bid ¡­ ¡°Sigh, forget it, let¡¯s bet then!¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and stood up when he saw that the manager was about to announce that the auction was canceled. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 500000.¡± Chapter 586 - 586 Cloud Mist City 586 Cloud Mist City ¡°There¡¯s really someone who wants to buy it¡­¡± ¡°The person in the No. 1 vip room bought it. He sounds young. Which rich young master is he?¡± Lin Mo felt a little helpless as he heard the whispers. 500,000 Yuan! If that space was broken by force, or it had already been opened. That would be a huge loss for him. Other things aside, he was already regretting it a little now. If anyone were to raise the bid, he would not hesitate to do so. He would definitely not be a spendthrift. ¡°500000 going once, is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± The manager said expectantly from the stage, hoping that someone would be interested and raise the price. Unfortunately, although there were many people who had spent 500000 upper spiritual stones, they were not here. ¡°Five hundred thousand twice!¡± When the manager struck the gavel for the second time, he waited for a while. Seeing that the auction hall was still deserted, he sighed helplessly. ¡°Five hundred thousand going thrice, sold!¡± The hammer fell three times, and the auction was closed. Even if he wanted to go back on his word, he couldn¡¯t. ¡°Cloud Mist Island? That¡¯s my next stop.¡± Lin Mo walked out of the private room with a bamboo hat on his head. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to keep a low profile. Walking to the backstage, the manager came over with a space ring with a smile. ¡°Sir, the spirit herbs you wanted and the earnings from this auction are all here.¡± He rubbed his hands together, feeling a little reluctant to let Lin Mo leave. However, he had no choice. Now that he had obtained the sheepskin map, Lin Mo would probably have to go to Yunwu Island. I¡¯ve just left my family to train. I¡¯ve heard of the Cloud Mist Island, but I¡¯ve never been there. What news do you have? can you tell me?¡± Lin Mo said after he took it and checked it. He immediately took out the huge map from his space ring and spread it open. The manager was slightly shocked and was even more certain of Lin Mo¡¯s identity. To be able to produce such a detailed map, he must be the young master of that big family who came out to gain experience. After leaving the auction house, Lin Mo was a little disappointed as he did not manage to obtain any useful information. This steward had stayed here for most of his life and had not left, so he naturally did not know anything about the Cloud Mist Island. That day, there were enough people who wanted to use the teleportation array. Lin Mo arrived at the teleportation array in the evening. There were already thousands of people waiting here, and a total of 100 warships were parked in the square. The people cheered as Lin Mo followed the crowd and boarded the warship. This teleportation formation was not controlled by the Gongsun family, but by the Wu family. This was obviously not an important city, but the teleportation formation was still in operation. A single teleportation would consume a huge amount of materials, but it could transport 10000 people. This was a huge sum of money. The person who controlled this kind of teleportation formation must have accumulated a shocking amount of wealth. The runes around the square began to glow, and an altar also lit up. This place was enveloped by a layer of pitch-black energy, and spatial fluctuations could be felt. There were people continuously pouring spirit stones in from the outside. As soon as these spirit stones entered, they turned into wisps of energy and fused into the formation. According to his initial estimation, it would cost him three million upper-grade spirit stones to activate the teleportation formation. With such. huge consumption, a force without. strong foundation would not be able to control the teleportation formation. ¡°Get ready to go. Our destination is Cloud Mist Island.¡± Someone on the ship shouted. Most of the people on the ship were aiming for the cloud Mist Island. Many of them wanted to explore the cloud Mist Island in search of treasures. There were also elders from large factions who wanted to bring their disciples to the cloud Mist Island for training. There were resting rooms on the battleship. Lin Mo chose one and started cultivating. He refined some spirit stones and treasures that he had no use for. At the same time, he was also studying the heaven-and-Earth Transformation technique. He wanted to completely control it and reach the stage where he could do as he pleased. ¡°BOOM!¡± The warship flew in the space tunnel for a day. Lin Mo, who was cultivating, was awakened by a loud noise. In front of the battleship, a black hole appeared. After passing through it, their teleportation was over. Lin Mo walked out of his room and arrived at an unfamiliar city. ¡°Another group of people has arrived. It¡¯s a pity that the last group that entered the cloud Mist Island has already died¡­¡± Outside the altar in the square, some people were whispering. Every time yunwu Island opened, the city would be quite lively. It was a pity that there were endless dangers following the opportunity. If one wanted the treasure, it would depend on one¡¯s life and strength, and whether they were strong enough¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right. There were about 30000 people who went in last time, but they all died. Not a single one came out alive¡­¡± An old man sighed, not optimistic about this group of people in front of him. Lin Mo walked in the city and found out that this was Cloud Mist island after asking around. The city was built on the edge of the island. This place was relatively safe. It was opened up by the Gongsun family to explore yunwu Island. However, after some investigation, they didn¡¯t have much gains. As time passed, they didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. ¡°Hehe, this young master¡¯s journey of experience will begin from here. I¡¯ll go deep into the Misty Island and leave my name on The Prodigy roll.¡± Some of them were in high spirits and wanted to travel alone. They left through the city¡¯s back door and began to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Island. Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He first found the auction and planned to order a batch of spirit herbs. Oh, young man, the spirit herbs you want are a little expensive. Can you afford that many spirit stones?¡± The person in charge of receiving Lin Mo at the auction house said with a look of disdain. ¡°You just need to tell me if you have any.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, feeling even more disdainful of this man¡¯s condescending attitude. ¡°You want five blood oxypetalum, but we only have three here. There¡¯s also a fist-sized flowing light stone, but that¡¯ll cost three million or more spiritual stones. ¡°As for the others, I don¡¯t have any at the moment.¡± The person in charge said with a fake smile. Especially when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s frown, he did not hide the disdain in his eyes. I have a cultivation technique here. You can auction it for me. Also, prepare the ¡°materials I want and send them over.¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, but he did not want to let it go. He searched in the system space and finally found an exquisite scroll that had been sealed for a long time. As soon as the scroll appeared, some people nearby were shocked because they felt an extraordinary aura. ¡°Young friend, what cultivation technique is this?¡± As soon as the scroll appeared, it alarmed a few elders of the auction house. They were from the Gongsun family and were in charge of Cloud Mist City. At the same time, they were also monitoring the place to see if anyone could bring out the treasure. ¡°Tank 9 Earth Class attribute-less martial skill, great space spirit-nurturing art. Every time the spirit Qi goes through one cycle in the body, it can increase the soul power by a little bit.¡± Lin Mo wasn¡¯t afraid that the Gongsun family would go back on their word, so he handed the scroll to the elders. After they took it and read it carefully, they were shocked to find that this cultivation technique was even better than the one they had cultivated¡­ ¡°You¡¯re looking down on us, you almost offended our distinguished guest.¡± One of the elders reprimanded the person in charge. Soon, Lin Mo was invited into a private room, which was quite close to the front. Chapter 587 - 587 The Kun Peng Bone 587 The Kun Peng Bone ¡°The Flowing Brightness Stone is being auctioned. Has the name list been sent out?¡± Lin Mo frowned. This was a divine stone that was the most precious treasure for body refinement. Once it appeared, it would be fought over by people. The flowing light stone that was auctioned last time was sold for a sky-high price of 3000000 upper spiritual stones. Now was the time for the opening of the Cloud Mist Island, and many people came, including those with great financial resources. ¡°The list hasn¡¯t been released yet. I can sell it to you in private. An elder said, fondling the great universe spirit raising art.¡± ¡°And the blood vessel flower. How many spirit stones?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. It would be best if he could sell it to him privately. ¡°Three blood vessel flowers and a flowing brightness stone. In addition, there are many precious spiritual herbs on the list¡­¡± An elder looked at Lin Mo with a face full of curiosity. Who exactly was this young man? Most of the spirit herbs he purchased were body refining spirit herbs with strong medicinal properties. Could he be a body cultivator? but it didn¡¯t seem like it. He didn¡¯t have the aura that a body cultivator should have. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll have to pay ten million upper spiritual stones to take this batch of spiritual herbs away¡­ The elder said with a smile. Hearing the number, even though Lin Mo had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked. 10 million was a huge sum. If he didn¡¯t auction the ¡®great universe spirit raising art¡¯, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take it out¡­ ¡°Then what¡¯s your price for this cultivation method?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s like this, we plan to buy it in private. We¡¯re willing to offer 10 million. Are you willing to do it, young friend?¡± The few elders discussed and came up with a price. This was equivalent to a trade. Lin Mo used the great universe spirit-nurturing art to trade for the precious materials he needed. After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo nodded happily. ¡°Sure, but seniors, please swear that you won¡¯t teach it to anyone else. I plan to sell more than one technique, and I¡¯ll auction it again in the future,¡± Lin Mo laughed. He wouldn¡¯t give up on the auction. After all, he was still waiting for the return-profit treasure. ¡°Haha, let¡¯s do as you said. You can watch the auction first. We¡¯ll go and prepare the spirit herbs for you.¡± After the elders left, a young girl was called in. She carried a wine pot and poured him wine. Lin Mo then sat in the private room and watched the ongoing auction. It didn¡¯t take long for him to lose the mood to drink. Instead, his eyes were fixed on a piece of black bone Gu on the auction stage. Upon closer inspection, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was filled with shock. Then, his heart started beating wildly, but he managed to suppress it with great difficulty. ¡°The Kun Peng Bone¡­¡± His eyes widened as he stared at that piece of bone banner. It was too similar. There was a layer of faint symbols on it. They were very weak, and only those who had cultivated the Kun Peng¡¯s Magic techniques could see it. However, the runes on the bone were about to dissipate. Perhaps in a few hundred years, it would become ordinary bone armor. ¡°Everyone, this is the bone of a divine bird. According to my guess, it should be the bone of a Kun Peng. It might even be the legendary Golden-winged Great Peng.¡± The auctioneer on the stage laughed. ¡°What? the Golden-winged bird¡± The crowd was excited. Even in the private rooms, there were people who opened the curtains and carefully looked at the bone armor. Their eyes were like lightning, wanting to see through it completely. ¡°If it¡¯s really the Golden-winged bird, then are the symbols on this bone the inherited technique of the Golden-winged bird?¡± Someone mumbled. However, this was only a guess, and it was most likely false. Because the Gongsun family would not auction the real one. They would send it back to the family and let the most powerful expert study it¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t care anymore. I¡¯ll take a gamble. If it really is the bone of the Golden-winged bird, I¡¯ll get it no matter what.¡± A man stood up and was ready to bid. At this time, an auctioneer on the stage shook his head, indicating for the crowd to be quiet. ¡°According to the aura, this is indeed the bone of the Golden-winged great Peng, but it¡¯s very incomplete. The symbols inside are very faint, or even almost non-existent.¡± ¡°But one thing is for sure. This bone is very hard. Even a quasi-saint elder from my race couldn¡¯t hurt it at all.¡± Hearing this, the noisy hall quieted down. The people in the private room were also disappointed that they did not get the answer they wanted. ¡°I see. Without runes, everything is just empty talk. What¡¯s the use of a piece of bone¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s all for nothing. But then again, if it¡¯s true, why would the Gongsun family auction it?¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the crowd¡¯s words. No one had recognized the Kun Peng Bone. ¡°It¡¯s so hard. If it¡¯s smelted into a magic tool, it might be useful. I¡¯ll take it. Name your price,¡± Lin Mo pretended to be unconcerned and let the auctioneer bid. ¡°The starting price is 100000 upper spiritual stones.¡± The auctioneer stated the price. It wasn¡¯t very expensive, because it was just a piece of hard bone. Perhaps the only effect was what Lin Mo had said about smelting it into a magic weapon. ¡°Then I¡¯ll pay a hundred thousand.¡± There were many people who were interested, but 100000 was not a small amount, so they did not bid. However, just as Lin Mo thought that he would be able to get it, someone in the private room next to his made a bid. I¡¯ll offer 110000. ¡°Hehe, this fellow Daoist is right. If we melt it into a magic artifact, it might have a miraculous effect.¡± No one knew whether he was telling the truth or not, but it was an auction, and there were many rich people. Perhaps, in the eyes of the crowd, Lin Mo and the bidder were the elite disciples of some major power or the young masters of a major family. ¡°One hundred and twenty thousand.¡± ¡°One hundred and thirty thousand.¡± The person seemed to be at odds with Lin Mo and kept raising the price. The two of them raised the price all the way to 250000. ¡°How annoying¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. If this continued, the others would become suspicious. How could a hard bone be worth so much? The people present were not fools. Some of them were already suspicious. Seeing this, Lin Mo hesitated for a long time before deciding to give up. There was no need for him to become the target of public criticism for a piece of Kun Peng Bone armor. ¡°I give up, you can take it.¡± He said, letting the auctioneer announce the result. He had no intention of competing anymore. ¡°Then, congratulations to the guest in private Room No. 8 for successfully winning the bid for this bone.¡± The auctioneer¡¯s hammer fell, and the maidservant carried the silver plate to the private room under everyone¡¯s puzzled eyes. ¡°Hehe, he gave up the Kun Peng bone just like that. Did that person really not know?¡± In the so-called private Room No. 8, a few men were sitting opposite each other. They had doubts in their eyes and released their soul power to check on Lin Mo¡¯s behavior in the private room. However, he was stopped. An even stronger soul power came from the private room. I¡¯ve been discovered. His soul power is very strong, and he can definitely be ranked in the Hidden Dragon List¡­ A middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes shining. His aura was extremely powerful. Earlier, when he retracted his soul energy, he displayed a powerful might. This was a second-level immortal-Foundation expert. ¡°Get someone to keep an eye on it. This person must know that this is a Kun Peng bone. He must have cultivated a Kun Peng technique on his body.¡± Another person raised his head. There were too many implications in this matter. It was better to kill the wrong person than to let the wrong person go. ¡°I know.¡± The rest of them agreed and suppressed their urge to check on Lin Mo. Now was not a good time to make a move. He could not beat the grass and alert the snake. Chapter 588 - 588 Top 588 Top-grade Spirit Stone Embryo ¡°Am I mistaken? I keep feeling like. I¡¯m being watched¡­¡± At that moment, in Lin Mo¡¯s private room, he was frowning as he looked to the other side. That soul energy earlier was extremely powerful. It must have been from a second-level immortal-Foundation expert. However, he did not feel anything out of the ordinary. It was as if the person was not hostile, but he could not help but shudder¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll change my identity after the auction¡­¡± After making up his mind, he didn¡¯t think too much about it and started to focus on the auction. At this moment, the next auction item had already been brought up. It was a spirit pill that could nourish the body and soul. It was of a very high grade. However, knowing the zhuyan body tempering technique, he was disdainful of this kind of spiritual pill. When the materials were all gathered, he would be able to temper his body smoothly. At that time, his body would definitely be able to transform perfectly. ¡°For the next item, the seller doesn¡¯t want spirit stones. He wants to barter.¡± On the auction stage, a maidservant walked up with a silver plate. The red cloth was lifted, and a bloodied bone lay on it. ¡°This is the skull of a demonic blood ape. It was already a King when it was alive, so its skull is well-preserved and is the best material for making magic tools.¡± The skull of the demonic blood ape exuded a strong and ferocious aura. The silver plate that carried it was also a spatial magical treasure. The real skull should be two to three meters wide. Moreover, if it wasn¡¯t for the restrictions of the magic tool, many people present would not be able to withstand this fiendish Qi. After all, most of the people here were still at the ninth heaven of the Nirvana stage¡­ In the eastern continent, immortal-Foundation was like heaven¡¯s slumber, but in this place, it was also a huge threshold. It was not easy to cross over. The blood demon ape¡¯s blood essence has the effect of tempering the body and soul. This blood essence is also recorded in the zhuyan body-refining technique. Lin Mo was overjoyed. The blood essence on the skull was enough for him to use. However, this was a true treasure, and was even more precious than the Kun Peng Bone without any symbols. Of course, this was under the premise that they did not realize that it was actually a Kun Peng Bone. If they knew about it, it would cause a lot of fighting. After all, it was the bone of an ancient divine beast, which was already extinct¡­ ¡°That¡¯s great, I¡¯m still lacking the necessary main materials to refine magic tools, so I¡¯ve made it just in time.¡± Some people were extremely excited and planned to bid. However, the seller intended to barter and choose a suitable treasure from the many bids. ¡°Treasure¡­ I don¡¯t have anything of value on me¡­¡± In the private room, Lin Mo was also in a difficult position. It was not easy for him to obtain a treasure, so he did not plan to give it up just like that. ¡°How much can this item be sold for if we use spirit stones to bid?¡± Lin Mo asked the young girl behind him. The young girl was stunned for a moment before she replied, ¡°According to the price of spirit stones, 1.5 million upper spiritual stones is the final price.¡± The auction house had auctioned similar treasures in the past. She had seen the records and the last time, it was sold for 1.5 million. ¡°Go and call those elders over. I want to buy some of the treasures in your treasury for the auction.¡± Lin Mo laughed. These elders had just gained a huge advantage, so they shouldn¡¯t reject him. ¡°Please wait a moment.¡± The young girl left in a hurry because there were already people bidding. If she didn¡¯t make it in time, she would be punished. ¡°I¡¯ll exchange it with a tier 8 earth grade weapon.¡± I¡¯ll give you a spiritual pill. tier 8 earth grade. I¡¯m only one step away from tier 9 earth grade. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a piece of glacial Jade.¡± ¡°¡­¡± There were many people bidding, and their prices were all very high, but none of them satisfied the seller. Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not satisfied. He would be able to make a bid later. In fact, he had a few treasures on him that he could use to exchange for it. However, he felt that this was a bit of a loss. It would be too much of a loss to trade just like that. When he was traveling in the mountains earlier, he had once entered a Tiger¡¯s Den and almost lost his life in order to pick a golden sunflower. It was a rank 9 Earth Class spirit herb, and it was about to reach the sky Class. As long as it was auctioned, it would definitely be a heaven grade divine flower. When cultivating the zhuyan body-refining technique, this was a life-saving trump card. ¡°Why is he still not here¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little anxious because the treasures that many people took out were becoming more and more precious. Someone even took out a tier 7 earth grade martial art. The seller was already very tempted, but he still planned to wait. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a piece of void Mystic iron, the size of a fingernail.¡± A young girl¡¯s voice rang out in the hall, causing Lin Mo to be slightly shocked. This was the young girl who had poured wine for him before. She was an employee of the auction house. ¡°He¡¯s directly bidding for me¡­¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. This was good as well. He did not want to be targeted for the treasure he had won and get into trouble. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the auction house¡¯s maid? Why is she bidding?¡± ¡°Are you stupid? If she bids, doesn¡¯t that mean that the auction house will buy it¡­¡± Someone said. At the same time, he felt helpless. The people from the auction house had made their move. Who could win this? ¡°The seller has sent a message. He said he wants the void black iron. The deal is complete.¡± The auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer and said that the seller was tempted. The void dark Iron was in exchange for the skull of the demonic blood ape. Not long after, the young girl who had just left pushed open the door and walked in. She took out a silver plate from the space ring on her hand. ¡°Sir, the elder said that even though the void black iron is more valuable, he will still sell it to you for 1.5 million upper spiritual stones. Take it as a friend.¡± The young lady put down the silver plate. Lin Mo carefully sensed it and instantly felt that it contained a thick blood aura. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll be impolite to refuse.¡± Void black iron was very rare. If it attracted a lot of people, it could be sold for at least two million upper spiritual stones. These elders of the Gongsun family were really generous to give him a discount of 500000 Yuan. ¡°What a pity. I¡¯ve killed a general under your young master, so we¡¯ve already formed a grudge¡­¡± Lin Mo thought to himself, ¡®I can¡¯t be friends anymore. I hope that Gongsun Wenhao doesn¡¯t provoke me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make a huge enemy out of him.¡¯ ¡°The next item is a complete top-grade spirit stone embryo.¡± ¡°Everyone should know that all spirit mines basically produce upper-grade spirit stones, while the border areas produce middle-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°The most precious supreme-grade spirit stones are definitely rare.¡± The auctioneer introduced with a smile. At this moment, a maidservant had already come up with a silver plate. Under the red cloth, there was a spirit stone the size of a longan. The spiritual stone was golden in color and contained an extremely abundant amount of spiritual qi. A complete top-grade spirit stone embryo? what was that? what was the connection between it and top-grade spirit stones? Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. The concentration of spirit qi here was much denser than in the eastern continent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could breed supreme-grade spirit stones. He had thought that supreme-grade spirit stones were nurtured in some super-large spirit mines, but it didn¡¯t seem like it. ¡°I¡¯m sure some of you are unfamiliar with this and don¡¯t understand the use of a top-grade spirit stone embryo.¡± ¡°As long as this embryo is placed in the mine, it will produce supreme-grade spirit stones,¡± The auctioneer said with a smile. If the environment was good enough, it could even be turned into a supreme-grade spirit stone mine¡­ Upon hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly realized that this was how wupreme-grade spirit stones were born. Chapter 589 - 589 Being Followed 589 Being Followed No wonder he had never heard of a supreme grade spirit stone ever since he came here. It turned out that this was the condition for its creation¡­ This item was very valuable. The moment it appeared, it attracted people to fight for it. They were all disciples from large families from all over the world. If they could bring back a top-grade spirit stone embryo, it would be a great achievement for them. ¡°Young master, are you not willing to bid?¡± The young girl poured Lin Mo a cup of wine and asked tentatively. This was a great achievement, and he would definitely be rewarded when he returned. Why did Lin Mo not have any intention of bidding? ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. This kind of achievement is nothing compared to the battle on Cloud Mist Island.¡± Lin Mo sat on the sofa and drank as he watched them compete. This piqued the young girl¡¯s curiosity, and the elders had asked her to test Lin Mo¡¯s background. However, she didn¡¯t know how to test him. However, from the confidence revealed between his brows, he should be a genius on the prodigy roll¡­ In the end, this embryo was taken by a genius. When he walked out of the private room, everyone was shocked. This was actually a genius in the top hundred of the prodigy roll. ¡°Even such a person has come to the Cloud Mist Island. I wonder how deep he can go.¡± People were whispering to each other, while Lin Mo had a carefree expression on his face. He was drinking wine and eating fruits on the table. As the auction continued, treasures were presented one after another. Some of them even surprised Lin Mo. There were treasures that were half a step to heaven rank. However, it also caused a lot of people to bid for it, and the final price reached more than 15 million. ¡°There are indeed many treasures. Are there any heaven-grade ones?¡± Lin Mo asked. The finale had not appeared yet. If the final item was a sky rank spirit herb, then should he fight for it? ¡°Young master, you¡¯re being too serious. Although there are treasures everywhere on Cloud Mist Island, heaven-grade treasures are still very rare.¡± The girl shook her head. She had revealed that the final treasure would be a tier 9 earth grade manual and a set of martial arts. Many of the people present had rushed over to the auction after hearing the news. Hearing this, Lin Mo shook his head. Although he was tempted by a tier 9 earth grade skill and martial arts, he would not pay such a high price for it. ¡°Then it seems like there¡¯s nothing else that can move my heart.¡± Lin Mo drank the wine in his cup. At this time, the auction had also reached its climax. As the second last auction item was won, there was finally some movement in the private room at the front. They pulled down the curtains, ready to bid at any time. ¡°Young master, the spirit herbs you asked for are ready. The elders are in seclusion, so it¡¯s not convenient for them to entertain you.¡± The door of the private room was pushed open, and another young girl walked in. She respectfully handed a ring to Lin Mo. As for what the elders had gone to do, there was no need to say. Lin Mo received it with a smile. After counting it, he confirmed that there were no mistakes. He handed over 1.5 million upper grade spiritual stones to the two girls and got up to leave. As for the finale auction, he had no interest in participating. Besides, he didn¡¯t have that many spiritual stones, unless he sold the spiritual herbs he had just obtained¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off, we¡¯ll meet again.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand to stop the two girls. He walked out of the auction house, put on his bamboo hat and straw Cape. At this moment, he looked like a loner, walking in the world without any purpose. However, under the bamboo hat, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were slightly cold. From the moment he left the auction house, he felt like he was being watched. Someone was following him, and an even more powerful soul power was locking onto him to prevent him from disappearing into the crowd. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be someone from the auction house.¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. The Gongsun family didn¡¯t need to do this, and he had to show them that he had a high status. Moreover, even if he had no background, the Gongsun family had no reason to touch him. There was no need to ruin his own reputation for a small figure¡­ ¡°So, it¡¯s those people?¡± Lin Mo suddenly recalled that when they were fighting for the Kun Peng Bone, there was a powerful soul power that wanted to probe him. If it was them, then everything would make sense. Because of that bone, he was being targeted. ¡°This is really troublesome¡­¡± Lin Mo had no choice but to walk through the crowd. He did not know when he had suddenly turned and walked into an empty alley. His figure disappeared, as if he had merged into space. After a short while, an ordinary-looking man followed them and looked around in confusion. ¡°Have I lost him¡­¡± The man muttered. The next moment, he turned around and saw a sharp blade approaching his neck. He made a prompt decision and retreated quickly, pulling away at the first moment. However, he had underestimated Lin Mo¡¯s speed. The space-severing divine sword slashed out from the void and cut through Lin Mo¡¯s throat. This person¡¯s soul still wanted to escape, but how could Lin Mo let him do so? Searing flames filled the air, and after taking him down, his soul was directly burned to ashes. After that, he used the space-severing divine sword to split open the space and disappeared. The flames that were left behind burned everything, including the man¡¯s body and blood. Furthermore, this was Lin Mo¡¯s dao fire, so it would not leave any traces. Only someone with extraordinary strength who could sever karma would be able to find clues and trace Lin Mo. ¡°The person we sent out is dead¡­¡± At this moment, a few middle-aged men walked out of the Gongsun family¡¯s auction house. One of them frowned. They had once sent their men to keep an eye on Lin Mo, but they had died not long after¡­ ¡°Can you confirm that person¡¯s identity?¡± One of them asked. ¡°No, the auction house didn¡¯t say anything and kept it a secret. It seems like this person¡¯s identity is not simple¡­ ¡°To be able to see through the kun peng bone, he is naturally not a simple person. He must be here to enter yunwu Island.¡± ¡°The souls of the people he killed have my remnant soul in them. If I meet them, I will be able to sense it. It will depend on luck¡­¡± A middle-aged man shook his head. Lin Mo had been very decisive and had not left any traces behind. Such a ruthless method made it impossible for them to follow him. Meanwhile, Lin Mo, who had no idea that he was being watched, had already arrived at the back gate of Cloud Mist City. There was only one way out, and that was to go deep into the Cloud Mist Island. ¡°They say that this place is full of opportunities, and they hope that I can pick enough spirit herbs.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as he continued walking forward. There were many other travelers, and most of them were in groups of three to five. It was rare to see a lone wolf like Lin Mo. Along the way, Lin Mo saw a familiar face. It was the genius who had managed to get the best-grade spirit stone embryo at the auction. This person¡¯s aura was not ordinary. It was like a lurking dragon that could easily burst out with a powerful force. ¡°As expected of an existence in the top hundred of The Prodigy roll¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed in his heart. There were 3000 States in the Northern Land. A mere cloud state had many hidden dragons and crouching tigers¡­ He just did not know how cruel the competition for the hidden Dragon rank would be. ¡°Haha, Yu Chen, I heard that you managed to get a top-grade spirit stone embryo. You can¡¯t control that treasure, so leave it to me.¡± A blue-robed young man caught up from behind and caught up with Lin Mo in the blink of an eye. Chapter 590 - 590 Golden Divine Fruit 590 Golden Divine Fruit ¡°BOOM!¡± He immediately prepared his martial arts and attacked the person in front of him. The two of them seemed to have a long-standing grudge, and the first move they made was to kill. Many people had yet to react and were sent flying by the shockwaves of the battle. They were shocked and angry as they watched the two fight. ¡°What are you looking at? If you¡¯re not convinced, then come over and fight me.¡± The blue-robed young man said coldly as he fought with the man named Yu Chen. Both of their moves were ruthless and blocked the way of the crowd. ¡°That¡¯s Zhuang Zhenghao, ranked 98th on The Prodigy Roll. He¡¯s from a Holy Land.¡± ¡°The other is called Yu Chen, ranked ninety on The Prodigy Roll. The Yu clan is one of the eight Guardian clans under the Gongsun clan.¡± ¡°None of them are to be trifled with¡­¡± People exclaimed. Many people couldn¡¯t help but step back. They had no way to fight against such a genius battle. Yu Chen and Zhuang Zhenghao¡¯s battle continued for a while, but the two of them should not be in the mood to fight to the death. The battle lasted for more than ten minutes before the two left. The battlefield that was left behind had long been reduced to a Wolf¡¯s Lair. The earth was full of scars and potholes. ¡°Is this the battle prowess of a genius on The Prodigy roll¡­¡± Everyone was shocked. Only Lin Mo was watching with great interest. At the same time, he also received some news. Although there were rankings on The Prodigy Roll, the difference between each rank was very small. Perhaps only the top 30 geniuses could pose a threat to him. This was under the condition that his realm had not caught up. Once he caught up with his cultivation level, the only ones who could be a threat to him would be those on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to think too much. Let¡¯s hurry up and go in.¡± Ln Mo raised his head and realized that many people had already gone in. Some were planning to follow Yu Chen and Zhuang Zhenghao¡¯s footsteps. He felt that it would be safer to follow these two geniuses. After venturing deeper, Lin Mo chose another path, which led to an old mine. It used to be a mine, but a great war broke out later on, and many treasures were buried underground. Every time Cloud Mist Island opened, there would be a large number of people coming in to mine. However, this place was under the control of the Gongsun family, and they had only opened it to the public due to pressure. Even so, half of the treasures mined would have to be given to the Gongsun family. Lin Mo came here to look for some ores. Among the ores recorded in the zhuyan body tempering technique, there were more than a dozen that could neutralize medicinal properties. They could not be missing or replaced. When he arrived, he found that there were many guards in charge of guarding the ancient mine. They were all from the Gongsun family, and they were guarding this place to prevent anyone from digging up treasures and not handing them over. For this, someone had once paid the price in blood. It also made people understand who was the boss in Yunzhou. ¡°If you want to buy ores from us, sure, but the price won¡¯t be cheap.¡± A guard said. Every time the Cloud Mist Island was opened, many people would enter. Some of them came from the Chamber of Commerce and would come to the ancient mine to buy some rare ores. ¡°Dragon blood ore, sacred fire Stone, cloud copper, Dao Comprehension stone¡­¡± Lin Mo listed out the names of more than ten types of ores, causing the guard¡¯s eyes to widen. Each of these ores was a precious material of tier 7 earth grade or above. Even if the ancient mineshaft was rich in treasures, it would be difficult to gather all of them. ¡°Young master, do you really want to buy these? The price is not cheap¡­¡± The guard was shocked. Was this a big business deal? which merchant group was this? ¡°Is there really such a thing?¡± It was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be shocked. At first, he thought that he wouldn¡¯t be able to gather all of them, and was even prepared to only have one or two. However, the result made him happy. Looking at the Guard¡¯s appearance, it seemed that he could really gather all of them¡­ ¡°As for the enlightenment stone, I have a fist-sized one at rank 8 earth realm, five pieces of cloud pattern copper, and more than a dozen sacred fire stones.¡± ¡°As for the Dragonblood stone, no one has found it yet. You¡¯ll have to wait.¡± The guard personally went to check the name list, and the final result made Lin Mo very satisfied. There was indeed no dragon Bloodstone. There was also the yin-yang stone. There was no news of the chaos stone. The rest were in stock, and there were quite a lot of them. ¡°Young master, how much do you want?¡± The guard said respectfully. Being able to complete such a large transaction, he would also be able to obtain many benefits. ¡°Give me three of each. Calculate how many upper spiritual stones it is. Also, if there are any dragon blood stones, chaos stones, or Yin Yang stones, remember to keep them for me.¡± Lin Mo warned as he took a jade talisman from the guard. It could be used to transmit messages. After doing all this, he came to a gathering place under the guidance of the guard. This place was built near the Kuangqu and formed a trading field. Every time Cloud Mist Island was opened, most of the people who dug up treasures here would trade with others here. When he arrived, Lin Mo found a stall and placed two treasures there. A scroll and a tier 9 earth grade golden sunflower. ¡°Little brother, how much are you selling this golden sunflower for?¡± ¡°Little fellow daoist, sell it to me. I can give you a satisfactory price.¡± The golden sunflower was a tier 9 earth grade elixir, and it was very close to the heaven grade. It caused a sensation as soon as it appeared. ¡°It¡¯s simple. Auction. The one with the highest price will get it.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. ¡°Of course, if you have enough dragon blood stones, chaos stones, and yin yang stones, I¡¯ll accept bartering,¡± he added. These three materials were essential. If he could not find them, he would not be able to temper his body. When the crowd heard that it was an auction, their expressions immediately turned ugly. Especially after hearing Lin Mo¡¯s terms of exchange, he was even more dissatisfied. ¡°If it¡¯s an auction, I¡¯ll buy it for 4000000 upper spiritual stones.¡± An old man opened his mouth. He didn¡¯t ask for the base price and directly bid. ¡°Can you buy a golden sunflower with four million? I¡¯ll pay five million¡­¡± Someone else made a bid. Although he didn¡¯t like the way the auction was being held, the treasures here would still go to the highest bidder. Lin Mo¡¯s actions were common and not surprising. There were many bidders. Three minutes later, an old woman bought the golden sunflower for 7.3 million. ¡°This young friend, since your scroll can be placed together with the golden sunflower, it must not be an ordinary item, right?¡± The old lady who had just accepted the golden sunflower looked at the scroll on the other side and asked curiously. However, Lin Mo was still waiting for the system¡¯s return to him and did not reply. [Congratulations, you have successfully auctioned off a tier 9 earth rank golden sunflower.] [Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining a heaven-class rank 1 golden divine fruit.] The golden sunflowers fell and bore fruit. After countless years, the final form was the Golden divine fruit. It contained enough life force. Even if one was seriously injured, one could recover in an instant with a bite. ¡°I¡¯ve finally obtained it¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. At the same time, he was filled with regret. Back in the eastern continent, he had once auctioned off a thousand spirit fruit with return-interest. It was also a tier 1 heaven grade, but he had used it as nourishment and devoured it. Now that he thought about it, that was really a waste of a heavenly treasure and a waste of a divine fruit. Chapter 591 - 591 Xia Yu of the Holy Emperor Palace 591 Xia Yu of the Holy Emperor Palace ¡°Little friend, why are you in a daze?¡± The old lady called out to Lin Mo again, asking him what the scroll on the table was. ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Mo, who had been jolted awake, immediately returned to his senses and realized that he was still auctioning his treasures¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, senior. I was distracted.¡± Lin Mo chuckled in embarrassment. He picked up the scroll on the table and unfurled it for everyone to see. ¡°This is a tier 9 earth grade skill, great universe spirit raising art . It has no attribute restrictions, but its mystery lies in the fact that every time the spiritual qi goes one round in the body, it can increase the soul power by one point.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s introduction caused the entire place to fall into silence. Many people were dumbfounded as they stared at the scroll that Lin Mo had unfurled. A cultivation technique that could increase the power of the soul had no attribute restrictions. This was too perfect. Even if it was placed in some major forces, it was enough to be called a sect guarding treasure. ¡°Little friend, is this complete?¡± The old woman asked again in disbelief. ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. Junior can swear that it¡¯s complete.¡± Lin Mo explained with a smile. At the same time, he also told her about how he had sold more than one skill. These people didn¡¯t mind. Not many people could afford a treasure of this level. Furthermore, Lin Mo had also guaranteed that this would be the last auction and that he would not profit from the great universe spirit-raising art in the future. ¡°Young friend, what¡¯s the base price of your cultivation technique?¡± The old woman asked, still wanting to buy more. ¡°The starting price is seven million upper spiritual stones. Each bid must be no less than one hundred thousand upper spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo said as he announced the start of the auction. ¡°Seven million and five hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Seven million six hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Eight million.¡± The sounds of bidding came one after another, and a group of people quickly gathered here because they were bidding very high. Many people were attracted over. After asking around and finding out about the cultivation technique that Lin Mo was auctioning off, they could not help but be shocked. Soon after, more people participated in the bidding. Lin Mo even saw a person in the top 100 of The Prodigy Roll. The man had a refined appearance and held a folding fan in his hand. He walked over with a large group of young people. ¡°What cultivation technique is so valuable? Introduce it to me.¡± The newcomer was Xia Yu, tiered fifty-fourth on The Prodigy Roll. He was the saint child of the Saint Emperor Palace and had been taken in as a disciple by the Saint Emperor to be nurtured as the next Saint Emperor. He was extremely talented. ¡°The great universe spirit raising art has no attribute restrictions. It can increase the power of the soul¡­ Lin Mo could not sense any goodwill from the man¡¯s tone, but he was a guest, so he patiently explained the information of the cultivation technique. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s almost as good as the Holy Spirit technique of my Holy Emperor Palace,¡± Xia Yu was shocked. He didn¡¯t expect this person to be able to take out such a precious treasure. ¡°The highest bidder is this friend over here at 11.3 million. If you¡¯re interested, you can also bid.¡± Lin Mo said. He could sense a trace of hostility from this person. However, this was the trading area of the ancient mine, and under normal circumstances, everyone agreed that no disputes were allowed here. He just didn¡¯t know if this person would abide by it. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re the highest bidder?¡± Xia Yu turned his gaze to a place not far away. That was an old man. His strength was very strong, at the ninth heavenly layer of the second level of immortal foundation. He was only a step away from the king tier. However, it was this almighty expert who was so frightened that he took two steps back when he saw Xia Yu¡¯s unfriendly gaze. ¡°No, I¡¯m not buying anymore. Goodbye.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned cold as he looked at Xia Yu. The latter¡¯s scholarly aura had disappeared and was replaced with a look of ridicule. ¡°It seems that no one wants this treasure of yours. In order to prevent it from being unsold, I¡¯ll reluctantly offer you a million upper spiritual stones to sell it to me.¡± With that, someone behind Xia Yu sneered. He walked up and threw down an animal skin bag, which contained one million upper spiritual stones. Xia Yu ignored Lin Mo and reached out to grab the great universe spirit raising art on the table. However, Lin Mo¡¯s speed was much faster than his. He took the cultivation technique first and secretly exerted his strength at the same time. A sharp wave of sword qi broke through the air. Xia Yu clearly did not expect Lin Mo to have the guts to make a move. He had thought that Lin Mo was just an itinerant cultivator and could be easily dealt with. However, he changed his opinion of Lin Mo after seeing the sword qi. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± Behind Xia Yu, the man who had just thrown the spiritual stone shouted. Golden light burst out of his palm as he tried to catch the sword Qi. ¡°Pfft!¡± In the next moment, a blood light appeared, and no one could block the sword qi. The man¡¯s palm was cut off in an instant, and blood kept flowing. ¡°Ah¡­¡± He let out a blood-curdling screech and was just about to strike out in anger when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turn icy cold. Lightning and flames danced rhythmically in his palm. ¡°Bang!¡± He could not react in time. Lin Mo¡¯s speed was too fast, and even Xia Yu could not react in time. With just one palm, the man was sent flying. He spat out blood and his chest caved in. It was obvious that he was badly injured. ¡°You dare?¡± Xia Yu was furious. In front of him, he actually injured his subordinates twice, which made him lose face. He attacked in anger and instantly blew Lin Mo¡¯s stall away. The surrounding people retreated, not daring to get close. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold as he took out the space-severing divine sword. His cultivation level was lower than Xia Yu¡¯s, so he could not hide his strength. The latter was already at the ninth sky, while he was only at the second sky. ¡°You¡¯re so arrogant. This is Cloud Mist Island, not Holy Emperor Palace. It¡¯s not a place for you to behave atrociously.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo immediately took action. He used the world-changing spell proficiently, and the divine flames of the Vermilion Bird burned on his body. However, in everyone¡¯s eyes, it was just an ordinary dao fire. Only Xia Yu, who was truly resisting, knew that this was definitely not dao fire, because it was too terrifying and the temperature was extremely high. ¡°Interesting. You¡¯re strong enough to be on The Prodigy roll, but I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± Xia Yu was interested. He had seen the painting of all the people on The Prodigy roll, so he was sure that Lin Mo was not on the roll. There was only one thing that could prove that he had concealed his true cultivation level. No matter what, he did not believe that Lin Mo could suppress him in terms of combat strength. ¡°Stop! This is the Gongsun family¡¯s territory. Even though it¡¯s public, have you all forgotten who the owner of this place is?¡± A loud shout was heard, and a group of guards appeared not far away. The person in the lead was someone Lin Mo was familiar with. He was the guard who wanted to sell Lin Mo the precious ores. However, Lin Mo did not expect him to have such a high status. ¡°Greetings, Lord Song Shang.¡± Some people bowed respectfully. This person had been guarding the Cloud Mist Island for many years. He was in charge of the ancient mine and was a King. With such strength, no one dared to provoke him. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lord Song Shang usually did not forbid fighting here. As long as it was not too big a deal, he would turn a blind eye. ¡°Why was it so abnormal today? The dispute had just started, and he had already brought people to stop it.¡± ¡°I heard that there¡¯s an auction for cultivation techniques that can increase one¡¯s soul power. Where is it?¡± Song Shang said bluntly. Song Shang nodded and said, ¡°I bid 11.5 million. Is there anyone who wants to bid? Chapter 592 - 592 Great Dao Soul 592 Great Dao Soul-returning Technique Song Shang¡¯s bid had obviously surprised everyone. Who exactly was this person in front of them? To be able to make Song Shang ignore the protection of the Holy Palace, his background must not be simple. Under the shocked gazes of the others, Lin Mo was also a little stunned. He looked at Song Shang, who had brought his men over, and smiled. ¡°11.5 million, sold.¡± Lin Mo had thought that this item would not be sold, but he did not expect Song Shang to bid so that the technique would not be unsold Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo completed his transaction with Song Shang. The auction ended smoothly. ¡°What a good technique. You really surprised me¡­¡± Song Shang took a look at the Tai Yu Spirit Nurturing Art, and the mysterious runes in it amazed him. The effect that was introduced was also perfect. It could even be considered the sect¡¯s most treasured technique. If he brought it back to the Gongsun family, he would definitely be rewarded¡­ What he was curious about now was Lin Mo¡¯s identity. Song Shang could sense that Lin Mo had hidden his face and that his aura had changed. At the thought of this, he looked at Xia Yu, who was livid, and said, ¡°Xia Yu, although the Holy Palace is powerful, don¡¯t be arrogant. Be careful not to fail miserably.¡± After that, he led the team to retreat. Before he left, he said loudly, ¡°During the opening of Cloud Mist Island, fighting is prohibited in the ancient mining area.¡± ¡°Song Shang¡­¡± Xia Yu¡¯s face was gloomy, but he did not do anything even after Song Shang left. It could not be helped. The Gongsun family was the overlord of Cloud State, and Cloud State was one of the most powerful places in the 3,000 states on the Northern Continent. They were superior. One could imagine the Gongsun family¡¯s power given that they could dominate this place. ¡°Fella, who are you? Tell me your name,¡± Xia Yu said coldly. The rest of the people looked at Lin Mo as well. They were all very curious about his identity. However, Lin Mo did not care about Xia Yu at all. The system¡¯s voice rang in his mind, making him extremely excited. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Tai Yu Spirit Nurturing Art, a tier 9 earth-grade technique.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining the Great Dao Soul-returning Technique, a tier 2 Heaven-grade technique.] The only pity was that it was still a technique, so Lin Mo could not cultivate it. The Soul Devouring Art was enough for him to cultivate. ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s not a martial art¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He could only keep this technique for future auctions. It would be a good gimmick. ¡°Ah, you were talking to me just now?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s excitement had just subsided when he saw Xia Yu staring at him with a face full of anger. He seemed to have heard Xia Yu talking to him just now, but he ignored him. ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Yu¡¯s face turned red. He was the Holy Son of the Holy Palace and a genius. Even so, today, he was ignored and targeted like this. This was too much. ¡°B*stard, get the hell out here! I¡¯m going to turn you into ashes today!¡± Xia Yu roared and rushed out of the ancient mining area. He was burning with anger. He would feel terrible if he did not kill Lin Mo. ¡°This is ridiculous. You wanted to snatch my auction item. I¡¯ve never provoked you since the beginning, so what are you angry about?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. A self-centered person like that only lacked a beating. Despite that, this was normal. The Northern Continent was vast. Just Cloud State alone was boundless. Lin Mo had defeated all the geniuses in the Holy Palace and was invincible there. The arrogance he gained from that had not been worn down yet¡­ ¡°Get out of the way. A good dog doesn¡¯t block the way. I still have to go buy something.¡± Lin Mo passed by Xia Yu and sneered at him rudely, causing the anger on his face to intensify. ¡°Little brother, I¡¯ve prepared all the ores you wanted. It¡¯s a total of 15 million high-grade spirit stones. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s still no news of the Dragon Blood Stone, the Chaos Ore, and the Yin-yang Ore. Why don¡¯t you wait a few more days?¡± Song Shang had heard Xia Yu¡¯s roar and wanted Lin Mo to stay in the ancient mining area so that he could protect him. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. I still have to go deep into Cloud Mist Island. See you later.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. He appreciated Song Shang¡¯s good intentions, but he had to keep moving forward on the path of cultivation. If he had to rely on the protection of his peers to survive, he would be ashamed of his heaven-defying God Devouring Body. ¡°I was overthinking. In that case, take care.¡± Song Shang laughed. He did not think that Lin Mo was being arrogant. Lin Mo left in satisfaction after passing the 15 million high-grade spirit stones to Song Shang, leaving some people in shock. He had just offended Xia Yu, but in the end, he left the ancient mining area and gave up on Song Shang¡¯s protection. ¡°He really has some guts¡­¡± Xia Yu¡¯s face was ashen. He wanted to rush out and finish Lin Mo off on the spot. ¡°Holy Son, leave it to me. You have more important things to do, and you can¡¯t delay them.¡± A black-robed elder behind Xia Yu stepped forward and volunteered to kill Lin Mo. ¡°Go, bring his head to me.¡± Hearing what the elder said, Xia Yu nodded his head. He had seen Lin Mo¡¯s strength. Lin Mo was at tier 1 of the second step of Immortal Foundation. This subordinate of his was at tier 2. Although he was only at the first step, he was still an Almighty powerhouse. There was a difference of one realm. Even if Lin Mo had great abilities, it would be difficult to make up for the difference. Lin Mo was unaware of all of this. He had left the ancient mining area and was walking towards the depths of Cloud Mist Island. It was like a primitive mountain range with all kinds of animals, birds, insects, and fish. However, the birds and beasts here were all demonic beasts, and each of them was very powerful. If one was not careful, one would lose one¡¯s life. ¡°Hm, did someone catch up?¡± Lin Mo frowned as he felt a powerful aura approaching from behind. The other party did not have any intention of hiding it, and the person¡¯s target was him. ¡°Boom!¡± Behind him, a bolt of crimson lightning streaked across, and thunder rumbled. Lin Mo did not dodge. When the lightning struck, he raised his hand to resist it, using the strength of his body to resist the powerful blow. ¡°Bang!¡± A dazzling light shone, and Lin Mo was forced back dozens of steps. The lightning was very powerful, as expected of a move from an Almighty powerhouse. After taking the hit, he felt his arm go numb and ache. Nevertheless, Lin Mo was very satisfied. Right now, his physical body had surpassed many people. He was close to the peak of tier 1 of Immortal Foundation. ¡°You¡¯re actually fine?¡± Behind him, an elder walked over with a shocked expression. According to his estimation, Lin Mo would be heavily injured even if he survived after taking the blow. However, Lin Mo did not seem to have any injuries on him. It was as if the elder¡¯s attacks were ineffective against him. ¡°Why should I not be fine?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. He was surprised to see that the elder was alone. He immediately said, ¡°Where¡¯s Xia Yu? I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not enough if you¡¯re alone.¡± Could it be that Xia Yu was so conceited that he only sent one person to kill him and was not afraid that the plan would fail? ¡°The Holy Son still has important things to do. I alone am enough to deal with you,¡± the elder said slowly. Chapter 593 - 593 The Demonic Apes Revolt 593 The Demonic Apes Revolt ¡°A half-step Almighty, the second step. That¡¯s your realm. Do you still want to hide it? I¡¯m more than enough to take care of you.¡± Sensing no aura from Lin Mo, the elder sneered and directly pointed out Lin Mo¡¯s realm. He had a mocking look on his face. He did not doubt Lin Mo¡¯s combat power. If Lin Mo¡¯s realm was the same as Xia Yu¡¯s, he would not have dared to come alone and would have called a group of people to surround and kill him. ¡°I¡¯m already in the first step of the Almighty realm, and I¡¯m on the verge of breaking through to the second step. Do you really think you can fight someone a tier above you?¡± The elder took a step forward, and a terrifying aura spread out from his body. His spiritual Qi burst out without any reservation. The earth quaked and the mountains shook, causing the surrounding space to become unstable. The pressure that the elder had formed was simply too powerful. It had enveloped the entire area invisibly, preventing Lin Mo from escaping. In the face of the elder¡¯s terrifying aura, Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual Qi fluctuations were at a disadvantage. If it was just a competition of spiritual Qi density, he was no match for the elder. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re just like the Holy Son. You¡¯re so arrogant and don¡¯t know what true power is.¡± Faced with the other party¡¯s overbearing aura, Lin Mo smiled faintly and secretly circulated the Soul Devouring Art in his body. His spiritual Qi suddenly erupted. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. A sea of fire appeared in the sky. The God Devouring Body devoured everything and absorbed the surrounding spiritual Qi into Lin Mo¡¯s limbs and bones. The next moment, it exploded. The world went from peaceful to violent, with flames and lightning wreaking havoc. Lin Mo¡¯s figure was like lightning, turning into an afterimage in an instant. When he reappeared, he was in front of the elder. A layer of black light gradually appeared around his body. It was like a small black hole that devoured everything. ¡°Bang!¡± The two bodies collided in the midst of lightning and thunder. Lin Mo knew that he was at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level, so he chose to fight in close combat. He used his physical body to burst out with super strength, and his fists whistled like a storm, catching his opponent off guard. ¡°How could this be¡­?¡± After exchanging blows, the elder was shocked because the power that Lin Mo had unleashed was too strong. This was not something he could fight against at all. In a battle of spiritual Qi, he could, and he would have the advantage. However, at this moment, Lin Mo was fighting him in close combat, and spiritual Qi was only a supplementary effect. After the exchange of blows, the elder was injured. Especially after Lin Mo had taken out the Space-severing Divine Sword, the battle had become one-sided. In less than a hundred moves, Lin Mo had beheaded the elder and destroyed his soul. ¡°Phew, it¡¯s a good thing that he¡¯s not very proficient in using his physical body¡­¡± After the victory, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The elder was also very powerful, but his physical body seemed to be his weakness. After being pulled into close combat, the elder had not been able to gain the upper hand in the entire process. He wanted to put some distance between them and suppress Lin Mo with his spiritual Qi cultivation. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings were extremely fast. Even a Ruler might not be able to catch up to him, let alone an Almighty powerhouse. After cleaning up the traces of the battle, Lin Mo turned around and left. The exchange of blows just now had caused a huge commotion. He could not take the risk if it attracted some extraordinary figure to come over and check. Lin Mo continued to venture deeper into the island. After traveling for dozens of kilometers, there were many dead bodies along the way. Some were from demonic beasts, while others were from humans. Some of them were rotten, and their bones were about to turn to ashes. It was obvious that they had been here for countless years. Some of the dead bodies had appeared recently, and there were still some bloodstains that had yet to dry. They had died very miserably. Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s sharp soul sensed something unusual in front of him. In the dark forest, a pair of scarlet eyes opened. With a roar, a black figure pounced. A fierce battle broke out in the midst of lightning and thunder. As the flames spread, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed. Countless boulders rolled down and exploded. After a long time, Lin Mo stood in the ruins and casually wiped the black blood off the Space-severing Divine Sword. It was a black demonic ape that had attacked him. It was extremely violent. He seemed to have entered the demonic ape¡¯s territory and was attacked, so he could only helplessly deal with it. Nevertheless, what Lin Mo found hard to understand was that the demonic ape was supposed to live in a group. Logically speaking, it should not be moving alone. ¡°Besides, although the demonic ape has a strong sense of territory, its first reaction should be to expel someone and not kill¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. This demonic ape was very abnormal, and this should not be its territory¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± In the distance, another angry roar came. An even more powerful demonic ape had come. It was the size of a small mountain. As soon as it arrived, it roared in anger and began to attack Lin Mo, wanting to tear him apart. ¡°There¡¯s something strange. It seems like these demonic apes have been provoked by someone¡­¡± Lin Mo made his move and fought with the demonic ape. Its combat strength was even stronger, not weaker than the elder from before. Furthermore, the demonic ape¡¯s body was very tough. It fought with Lin Mo for 300 rounds before it was finally killed. Suddenly, Lin Mo felt his hair stand on end and looked up into the distance. There, pairs of Scarlet eyes lit up, and pitch-black demonic apes rushed out, attacking Lin Mo fearlessly. In the dark forest, the demonic apes formed a beast tide and swarmed over in an overwhelming manner. Lin Mo was shocked. This was not the time to fight. The beast tide was no joke. He spread his Kun Peng Wings and instantly disappeared from this place. The next moment, this place was flooded, and countless demonic apes galloped past. Some of them had even reached the Ruler realm, and their battle prowess was terrifying. After seeing Lin Mo kill their kind, they tore open a spatial rift and chased after Lin Mo. ¡°Roar¡­¡± While furious roars were heard, Lin Mo began to flee. He crossed the void and blocked the attack of a Ruler demonic ape with the Qilin Steps before he could escape. The demonic ape did not give up and chased after Lin Mo for more than fifty kilometers. In the end, Lin Mo¡¯s control of the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed allowed him to escape completely before he reluctantly returned to the beast tide. ¡°It was really dangerous¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He was unlucky to have met this group of demonic apes. From the looks of it, they were probably running for their lives. There seemed to be some terrifying existence in the depths of the forest. ¡°demonic apes are relatively strong among demonic beasts. What kind of existence can make them so afraid?¡± It was impossible for Lin Mo to retreat. The purpose of his trip was to find that special space. Although he knew that there was danger ahead, he had no choice but to move forward. Along the way, he saw many dead bodies of all kinds of living beings. Some cultivators who had entered this place long ago had also encountered mishaps. For the next few days, Lin Mo walked through the mountains and only managed to obtain a few elixirs. In the end, he walked out of the forest and discovered that there was a camp in front of him. There were more than thirty people gathered together and resting there. There were many powerhouses among them, and their ages varied. After discovering Lin Mo, they did not make things difficult for him and instead invited him to rest. ¡°Fellow friend, why are you walking alone? Where are your teammates?¡± Chapter 594 - 594 The Stone Tablet That Tests One’s Talent 594 The Stone Tablet That Tests One¡¯s Talent A middle-aged man asked Lin Mo why he was alone. Lin Mo lied and said that he had been separated from his teammates. He humbly asked about the demonic apes¡¯ revolt some time ago. ¡°Oh, that? I heard that it was the doing of the Black Death Sect. They¡¯re looking for the lair of the Ancient Divine Beast, the Kun Peng. The middle-aged man had no choice but to point out a path for Lin Mo. If one headed south from here, about 150,000 kilometers away, a phenomenon that seemed to be a Kun Peng Nest appeared, causing a commotion. ¡°Is that true?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A Kun Peng nest? Could there be a complete Kun Peng art in there? If he could get it, he would be able to compete with the geniuses of the major forces. The only thing he could use at the moment was the Soul Devouring Art. The others were all incomplete techniques, and none of them could be considered heaven-grade, making it difficult for him to compete with others. ¡°It¡¯s just a rumor. It¡¯s said that the Black Death Sect obtained the Kun Peng bone some time ago, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not.¡± Someone walked over and knew something similar. At the same time, Lin Mo also received a shocking piece of news. In order to obtain more information about the Kun Peng, the Black Death Sect had once released a bone that was suspected to be the Kun Peng bone and auctioned it. When someone bought it, they snatched it back in secret and used the Soul-searching Technique to find clues about the Kun Peng Nest¡­ ¡°Is there such a thing¡­?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face gradually darkened. He remembered that he had encountered the Kun Peng bone when he entered Cloud Mist Island¡­ At that time, he was still fighting with others, and then he was targeted¡­ ¡°So those people are from the Black Death Sect¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. He finally understood the whole story and no longer had a good impression of the sect. He would not care if they were tricking other people, but if they were setting him up, it was not in his character to not take revenge¡­ After resting for a day, Lin Mo bought some useful elixirs from those people and left. Now, after searching, he only needed two divine medicines and a bottle of a Zhu Yan¡¯s blood essence to practice the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art. ¡°Divine medicines can be auctioned, but what about the blood essence of a Zhu Yan?¡± Lin Mo felt troubled. He could only cultivate one move of the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art once, so he would not act rashly unless he had no other choice. ¡°I¡¯ll try to look for it. I hope there¡¯s a Zhu Yan on Cloud Mist Island. It¡¯s fine even if its bloodline isn¡¯t pure¡­¡± He continued on his journey, walking through the mountains and forests. Not long after, he encountered a group of ferocious beasts. It was a group of gold vultures, and each of them was extremely powerful. Lin Mo took out the Space-severing Divine Sword and fought with them. After a bloody battle for a day and a night, he killed the group of gold vultures and obtained many elixirs and treasures. Even so, the death of hundreds of gold vultures had attracted the attention of a Ruler beast. He was being hunted down because the beast was very fast. With the advantage of its realm, Lin Mo was in danger several times. In the end, Lin Mo could only escape into the depths of the forest, drawing out another giant python in the Ruler realm. The python was disturbed and woke up from its sleep. The aura it released turned the nearby demonic beasts into ashes on the spot. The two Ruler demonic beasts fought and did not have time to care about Lin Mo, which was why he was able to escape. ¡°That was close¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the battlefield from a distance. A mountain range and tens of thousands of kilometers of land had been destroyed. There was no sign of life. Cloud Mist Island was huge, and there were countless powerful demonic beasts. The deeper one went, the more powerhouses there were. In the end, the weakest of the living beings from the outside world was in the ninth step of the Almighty realm. Even so, Lin Mo also discovered a problem. The deeper he went, the quieter the powerful demonic beasts were. They did not come out to walk. ¡°The laws here seem to be suppressing them¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Cloud Mist Island was indeed mysterious. Only those below the Ruler realm could enter. Despite that, the living beings inside were not restricted and could continue to grow. ¡°I¡¯m here. Is the suspected Kun Peng Nest in front?¡± After walking for several days, he finally arrived at where the Black Death Sect was. There were still many people here, and they were all attracted by the Kun Peng Nest. Lin Mo did not approach rashly. Although the World-changing Technique could perfectly hide his identity, it would be bad if he was targeted. After all, his realm was still too low¡­ However, he soon let his guard down because he heard about the Kun Peng¡¯s test from the conversation between those people. Many people were sighing and saying that the Black Death Sect had passed the test and entered the Kun Peng Nest. After Lin Mo realized that there was no danger, he went out to ask for advice. ¡°This is a stone tablet that the Kun Peng set up. It can test a person¡¯s potential, combat power, and talent. We¡¯re guessing that if one meets the standards, one can enter the Kun Peng nest.¡± Some people were helpless. They had tried, but it was useless. Lin Mo understood that there were nine ancient bronze lamps in front of the stone tablet. Only by lighting five of them could the Kun Peng nest be opened temporarily. ¡°Only those with great talent can light the ancient bronze lamps. Do you want to try?¡± Someone laughed jokingly and urged Lin Mo to go for the test, hoping to see him make a fool of himself. ¡°Forget it. If we want to open it, we can only wait for someone on the Prodigy Roll to come.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued when he heard the sighs of the people around him. A stone tablet that could test one¡¯s talent¡­ He also wanted to know what his talent was like¡­ ¡°Move aside and let me try.¡± However, before he could try, a shout came from behind him. A young man walked over with a group of people. ¡°It¡¯s Xia Yu from the Holy Palace. Great, we can go in now that he¡¯s here.¡± Lin Mo was shocked and quickly made way, not wanting to be noticed by Xia Yu. ¡°He¡¯s here too. He¡¯s really fast. That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll follow him in so that I don¡¯t need to expose my whereabouts.¡± He murmured to himself as he looked at Xia Yu. At the same time, he was curious about the talent of this Holy Son of the Holy Palace. Everyone stared at Xia Yu. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he placed his palm on the stone tablet. In an instant, lights shone brightly, and his body was enveloped in multicolored light. Following a high-pitched cry, the stone tablet shook, and Xia Yu¡¯s name and portrait appeared on it. In the front, the wisps of flames on the nine ancient bronze lamps moved rhythmically. The first two ancient bronze lamps were instantly ignited. A flame also appeared in the third lamp. Although it was weak, it was completely ignited. Everyone turned their attention to the fourth lamp, their eyes filled with anticipation. There was a flame there, and the lamp was about to be ignited. The flame was getting stronger and stronger. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± That said, things did not go according to his wishes. The flame was too weak, and with a soft sound, it extinguished. The stone tablet stopped glowing. The test of Xia Yu¡¯s talent, potential, and combat power had ended. He could only light three ancient bronze lamps. The fourth one was about to be ignited, but it was still a little short of success. However, even if it was ignited, the Kun Peng nest would not be opened¡­ ¡°That¡¯s way too strict. Could it be that only those in the Hidden Dragon Rank can light five of them?¡± Someone exclaimed. The test set by the Kun Peng was too strict¡­ ¡°He failed¡­?¡± Lin Mo was disappointed. Xia Yu had come in such a high profile, so he thought that he would succeed¡­ Chapter 595 - 595 Nine Lamps Burning Together 595 Nine Lamps Burning Together ¡°Hmph, what kind of bullsh*t test is this? The requirements are so high.¡± Xia Yu¡¯s face was full of displeasure. Although no one said anything, he could still see the ridicule in their eyes. He had taken the test in a high profile, but only three ancient bronze lamps were lit. While mocking, the crowd also sighed with regret. If even Xia Yu was like this, then would it not require a genius on the Hidden Dragon Rank to light five of them? ¡°Young lady, you should go and try.¡± The stone tablet¡¯s test caused a huge commotion and attracted many people. They only waited for half an hour before someone arrived. It was a young girl who had just broken through to Immortal Foundation. There was an old woman beside her. She was very strong and was half a step to the Ruler realm. It was obvious that the young lady¡¯s identity was not simple. The fact that she had such a powerful guard by her side was enough to prove her identity. ¡°Alright,¡± the young lady said. When the young girl saw that so many people were looking at her, she lowered her head shyly and took small steps forward. She placed her delicate palm on the stone tablet. In an instant, the stone tablet was abnormal. A light even more intense than Xia Yu¡¯s test appeared. A series of Dao sounds came from space, and a green light soared thousands of meters. Strange phenomena occurred. ¡°Eh? Who¡¯s this young lady? Her talent is even better than Xia Yu¡¯s.¡± Many people turned pale with fright. They had thought that there was no hope of entering, but they did not expect this young girl¡¯s talent to be so terrifying. ¡°There¡¯s a chance.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed as well. He was prepared to go up alone, but he did not expect there to be so many geniuses here. ¡°Swish!¡± With four consecutive sounds, the flames moved rhythmically, and four ancient bronze lamps lit up almost instantly. This also gave people hope, and they believed that the fifth lamp would be ignited. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Four of the ancient bronze lamps were slowly burning, but the fifth lamp did not even have a single flame. This meant that although she was more talented than Xia Yu, she was still not qualified to open the Kun Peng Nest¡­ Her name and portrait appeared on the stone tablet. The two words ¡®Qin Si¡¯ appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. ¡°She¡­ From the Qin clan from Qin State. She actually came to Cloud Mist Island.¡± Some people were shocked. A genius who had surpassed Xia Yu was from another state. This made them feel a little embarrassed. ¡°I failed¡­¡± The young girl was unhappy. She thought that she could open it, but it turned out like this. ¡°Young lady, don¡¯t be discouraged. You¡¯ve only just broken through to Immortal Foundation, so there¡¯s still a lot of room for improvement. Once you use the clan¡¯s Body-tempering Secret Technique, you should be able to light five lamps.¡± The old woman consoled the young girl. It was pretty good that her young lady could achieve this. At least, it proved that Xia Yu, the Holy Son of the Holy Palace, was not as talented as her lady. ¡°Ah, there¡¯s no time¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and walked forward. He could not wait any longer. Someone had entered the Kun Peng Nest¡­ ¡°Oh, do you want to see your talent?¡± Someone asked kindly when he saw Lin Mo approach the stone tablet. No one had any thoughts of him opening the nest. When Lin Mo stepped forward, not many people looked at him and thought that he was just going to test his talent. ¡°Hey, wait a minute.¡± When Lin Mo walked past Xia Yu, Xia Yu suddenly called out to him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Mo asked in a tone that was neither haughty nor humble. ¡°How dare you? It¡¯s your honor to have the Holy Son speak to you. Watch your attitude.¡± Xia Yu did not say anything, but his follower behind him spoke first, berating Lin Mo. ¡°Bad people stick together and act the same indeed¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was full of disdain. Xia Yu was arrogant and despotic, and so were his subordinates. He did not know why Xia Yu was stopping him at this moment. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what method you used to change your appearance, figure, and aura, I can still sense at such a close distance the person who killed my people.¡± ¡°Brat, hand over your life.¡± Xia Yu said coldly. The Holy Palace had a unique secret technique that could allow one to leave a special aura. This was meant to be used for revenge after being killed, but Xia Yu did not expect to find the person so quickly¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo raised his hand and blocked Xia Yu¡¯s attack. At the same time, he flew to the stone tablet. Now was not the time to fight. Entering the Kun Peng Nest was the most important thing. Nonetheless, Lin Mo could not test his talent at the moment because Xia Yu had asked people to surround him and trap him here. ¡°Buzz.¡± Suddenly, a light screen appeared in front of Lin Mo, blocking all the incoming attacks. Xia Yu¡¯s expression changed, and he looked somewhere not far away with fear. ¡°You from the Qin clan, what do you mean by this?¡± The only person he was afraid of was the old woman. A powerhouse who was half a step into the Ruler realm was enough to sweep away everyone present. ¡°Xia Yu the Holy Son, please calm down. The people from the Black Death Sect have entered the Kun Peng Nest. The most important thing now is to open this place.¡± Her intention was clear. She wanted Lin Mo to test and open the Kun Peng Nest. ¡°Do you think he can light five ancient bronze lamps? He¡¯s about the same as me. He can light three of them at most.¡± Xia Yu said disdainfully. He had experienced Lin Mo¡¯s strength before. Lin Mo could fight with him but could not gain the upper hand. How could he light five ancient bronze lamps with such strength? ¡°He should be able to open it¡­¡± Qin Si, who was far away, spoke. Her face was slightly red, and her voice was very soft. Even so, everyone present heard her. Hearing Qin Si giving Lin Mo such a high evaluation, Xia Yu instantly felt that he had lost all his face. He wanted to flare up, but he was afraid of the old woman. ¡°Alright, let him try. I also want to know his true identity.¡± Xia Yu ordered his men to back off and not attack Lin Mo, but he did not put away his weapon. Once Lin Mo was done with his test, he would be able to act. At that time, the people of the Qin clan would not interfere. ¡°Little friend, my young lady said that you¡¯re not simple. Please don¡¯t let me down.¡± The old lady looked at Lin Mo with curiosity. She did not understand why the young lady said that he could open the Kun Peng Nest. ¡°Many thanks for your help, senior.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and bowed. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, he slowly placed his palm on the stone tablet. As soon as he touched it, he could hear a strange buzzing sound coming from the stone tablet. It was very clear. In the next moment, a powerful force gushed into his body, instantly activating the God Devouring Body. The Soul Devouring Art circulated on its own, and at the same time, the immature Kun Peng Claws appeared. A familiar aura came from the stone tablet. With the help of this power, Lin Mo had a feeling of enlightenment. He had learned the Kun Peng Claws in an instant. ¡°How magical and terrifying.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart trembled. ¡®Is this the true nature of the Kun Peng Claws? Kun Peng has the power of Yin and Yang, but this is pure Yang energy¡­¡¯ Once the Kun Peng Claws were used, even the True Dragon Claws would only be on par with it. Lin Mo had thought that he would have to spend a long time mastering the Kun Peng Claws. He did not expect that a test would allow him to master the art in an instant¡­ At the same time, the outside world had undergone a huge change. It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. The stone tablet exploded, and the dust turned into a light curtain that filled the sky. Strange phenomena appeared, and the void trembled. Rolling thunder clouds appeared in the sky, and the stars fell to the earth. The nine ancient bronze lamps were ignited almost instantly. The flames burned fiercely, and the momentum was great¡­ Chapter 596 - 596 Unprecedented 596 Unprecedented The Dao flames filled the air, and Lin Mo was enveloped within them. The divine light was shocking, and majestic powers entered his body. As the Soul Devouring Art circulated, with Lin Mo as the center, a black hole spread out, and the spiritual Qi within a radius of 50,000 kilometers miles was instantly emptied. With the help of the stone tablet, the God Devouring Body¡¯s power was on full display. Lin Mo¡¯s aura also rose rapidly, and he reached the fifth step of a half-step Almighty realm in the blink of an eye. Flowers of the great Dao bloomed one after another, appearing particularly dazzling on the light screen. Celestial light glittered and enveloped the entire place. Lin Mo soared into the sky and sensed the flowers of the great Dao. His comprehension of Dao laws had reached a higher level. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± 50,000 kilometers away, Xia Yu, Qin Si, and the others were extremely shocked. They were sent flying by the aftershock of the stone tablet¡¯s explosion. People looked up and saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the sky. He looked extremely mysterious. The World-changing Technique had become ineffective. Lin Mo¡¯s appearance and aura were completely revealed to everyone. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ The God Devouring Body¡­¡± When the black hole shrank and no longer covered 50,000 kilometers, people got closer and saw Lin Mo¡¯s appearance. ¡°Oh my God, he¡¯s Lin Mo¡­ He¡¯s the one who killed Guan Yao and Wu Mo in Blue Ray City and obtained the Dragon Pavilion¡¯s jade seal¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s him. He looks exactly like the portrait.¡± ¡°I heard that the Gongsun family is also looking for him. He actually appeared on Cloud Mist Island¡­¡± The people nearby were shocked beyond words. The scene was too shocking. The stone tablet shattered, and the Kun Peng Nest opened up. The flowers of Dao surrounded Lin Mo. It was as if 3,000 saints were sitting cross-legged in the sky, preaching on Dao. Everything they said was the true meaning of the great Dao. Lin Mo was the only one who benefitted from all of this. The outsiders were not blessed to enjoy it. The God Devouring Body, a heaven-defying physique of the human race, had appeared and was being announced to the world in this way. Lin Mo¡¯s radiance overshadowed Qin Si and surpassed Xia Yu. He could be considered an unprecedented and peerless prodigy. ¡°Is he Lin Mo? He possesses the supreme physique of the human race¡­¡± Qin Si was shocked. Earlier on, she had only sensed that Lin Mo¡¯s realm was slightly higher than hers. However, it was not by much. For such a person to be able to fight to a draw with Xia Yu was enough to prove his talent. That was why Qin Si was sure that Lin Mo could open the Kun Peng Nest. Who would have thought that the nine lamps would light up at the same time, causing heaven and earth to tremble and a strange phenomenon to occur? Such a heaven-defying action was destined to make him famous across the continent¡­ Some people felt a piercing pain in their eyes. The divine light emitted from Lin Mo¡¯s body was too dazzling, and they could not look at it for long. The phenomenon lasted for a long time. Lin Mo had been observing the great Dao and had a deep understanding of it. Although he could not understand many of them, he remembered them. In the future, when he cultivated, the probability of enlightenment would increase greatly. The sounds of the great Dao began to weaken, and the nine ancient bronze lamps were no longer extinguished. They continued to burn. The crowd below had an impulse to worship Lin Mo. This man would definitely become a supreme powerhouse in the future¡­ Perhaps becoming a saint was just his starting point¡­ ¡°It is said that among the few great physiques unique to the human race, while the God Devouring Body isn¡¯t the strongest, it¡¯s the most mysterious one. Now that it has appeared, it signifies the rise of the human race and the birth of an extraordinary figure¡­¡± ¡°The phenomenon has disappeared. Where¡¯s Lin Mo? I want to follow him¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go. The man has a bright future. We can benefit from him for life.¡± Some people waited for the phenomenon to disappear before stepping forward to search for Lin Mo. Even Qin Si and that old woman were searching for him, wanting to recruit Lin Mo into the Qin clan. Such a talented youth, a rogue cultivator at that, was simply too rare. Even so, Lin Mo was nowhere to be seen. An altar appeared where the stone tablet had been. The nine ancient bronze lamps burned and activated the altar. The entrance to the Kun Peng Nest was completely open. As long as the ancient bronze lamps were still burning, the entrance would not be closed. It was truly a permanent opening¡­ ¡°Hey, there are words on the altar. Lin Mo left his name.¡± People approached and found a line of words on the base of the ancient bronze lamp in the middle. ¡°Lin Mo, God Devouring Body, rogue cultivator!¡± It was a short sentence, but it gave people an indescribable sense of oppression. The old woman beside Qin Si sighed. She was unable to win Lin Mo over. If she did not find him immediately, it would be very difficult to win him over. Fortunately, her actions this time had at least left a good impression on Lin Mo. The rest of the people were extremely excited because a genius had been born, and they were the first batch of witnesses. In the distance, more and more people rushed over. The strange phenomenon was too shocking, and people could sense it even from half a million kilometers away. Looking at the name on the base of the ancient bronze lamp, the people were silent, but they all knew. A rogue cultivator named Lin Mo had risen to power. A huge earthquake was about to happen in Cloud State, and the neighboring states would also be shaken by this. While people were marveling at Lin Mo¡¯s talent and status, he had entered the Kun Peng Nest through the altar. At this moment, he felt refreshed, and his body was unprecedentedly comfortable. Even though his identity had been exposed, the benefits he had obtained were also enormous. His strength had broken through to the fifth step, and he had a faint feeling that he was about to gain enlightenment. If it was not for the fact that he had to save the elixirs on him to cultivate the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art, he could still go into seclusion again. With the help of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique, he might be able to reach the seventh step¡­ ¡°Eh? There are more elixirs in front. This Kun Peng Nest is really full of treasures¡­¡± Lin Mo was drooling. He had obtained many treasures during this period, and he was very satisfied. As for the people from the Black Death Sect who had entered first, he had not met them, nor had he heard any news about them. On the contrary, after he had explored the place for a while, a large group of people appeared behind him. They had all entered the Kun Peng Nest through the altar. Lin Mo took the opportunity to hide in the crowd, but he kept his distance from Xia Yu to avoid being recognized. ¡°Have you heard? We¡¯re able to enter the Kun Peng Nest this time because of a man called Lin Mo. He has the God Devouring Body.¡± ¡°Of course, I know. To light up nine lamps at once¡­ What kind of terrifying talent is that¡­?¡± As Lin Mo mixed in with the crowd, he heard many of his past deeds. He also heard that Qin Si of the Qin clan was looking for him and wanted to rope him in. At the same time, Xia Yu of the Holy Palace was also looking for him, trying to kill him. Since he had offended Lin Mo, he could not leave him alive. Otherwise, Lin Mo would become a great threat in the future¡­ ¡°Hmph, as long as you¡¯re still in the Kun Peng Nest, I¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to kill you¡­¡± In the crowd, Lin Mo auctioned off the elixirs he had just obtained, causing many people to fight over them. However, in the end, someone tried to snatch the auction item and was killed by Lin Mo in an instant. At the same time, his identity was also exposed, causing a sensation. There were people from the Qin clan who came out to invite Lin Mo to the Qin clan as a guest. Even so, Lin Mo rejected them and left the crowd before Xia Yu arrived. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade, tier 9 Silver Dragon Lotus Flower.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining an earth-grade, tier 2 Silver Dragon Holy Lotus Flower.] [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade, tier 9 Heavenly Curtain Green Vine.] [Successfully triggered a 6,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade, tier 1 Evergreen Spirit Vine.] The system¡¯s voice echoed in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. He had finally obtained two heaven-grade divine medicines¡­ Chapter 597 - 597 Breakthrough and Came Out of Seclusion 597 Breakthrough and Came Out of Seclusion Waves of disturbance came one after another. Xia Yu had come, but he missed the timing and could not stop Lin Mo. While everyone else was discussing, Lin Mo had entered the depths of the Kun Peng Nest. He followed a path and went deeper while looking for the elixirs he needed to temper his body. His hard work paid off. After many searches, he had found all the ores and elixirs he needed. However, there was still one last supreme treasure, which was also the most difficult to obtain. It was too difficult to obtain the blood essence of Zhu Yan, not to mention that he needed a lot of it. Since Lin Mo had to postpone the body tempering, he listed out the remaining materials and started cultivating. This was the Kun Peng Nest, but it was vast and boundless. It was an ancient mountain range with countless elixirs and treasures. Lin Mo was like a dragon in the sea. The cultivation resources everywhere allowed his cultivation to improve rapidly. The Kun Peng Nest opened up, and countless people poured in. The place became lively. Half a month had passed since Lin Mo entered a state of trance. He was immersed in his cultivation, searching for all kinds of treasures and devouring everything below earth-grade tier 9. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the air, absorbing the massive amount of spiritual Qi. He silently circulated the Soul Devouring Art and absorbed the spiritual Qi. ¡°Boom!¡± Around his body, flames and lightning filled the air, assisting him in his cultivation. It was difficult to calm down here. Lin Mo¡¯s aura was gradually becoming stronger, and his spiritual Qi was becoming more and more condensed. ¡°Crack.¡± As the heavenly materials and earthly treasures floating around him shattered, the spiritual Qi within them all fused into Lin Mo¡¯s body. Flames and lightning erupted, and Lin Mo¡¯s aura grew stronger. Runes interweaved in the air. The Soul Devouring Art had added many new runes, which swirled around Lin Mo¡¯s dantian, making him even more mysterious. ¡°The sixth step¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He had been devouring heavenly materials and earthly treasures and cultivating for half a month. Finally, he had broken through to the next step. Even so, he knew that this was not enough. Gongsun Wenhao, Mu Yuzhu, and the others were already at the peak of the ninth step. If not for the fact that they were intentionally suppressing it, they would have broken through. They were waiting for the ancient battlefield to open up so that they could enter it and break through. After breaking through, Lin Mo walked out of the deep mountains and began to look for the crowd. He had a few elixirs to deal with. That the Kun Peng Nest was full of opportunities. In the past half a month, he had found five earth-grade tier 9 elixirs. Lin Mo could get five heaven-grade divine medicines by auctioning them. Even the Gongsun family would drool over such a huge fortune. After a round of searching, Lin Mo finally arrived at a gathering place. He had been discovered as soon as he arrived. Xia Yu was here, and so were the people from the Black Death Sect. Lin Mo also found out that the person who had helped the Black Death Sect enter the Kun Peng Nest was Gongsun Wenhao. He was very talented and had lit up seven ancient bronze lamps. Hence, he could bring many people into the Kun Peng Nest. Despite that, his limelight had been overshadowed. Most of the discussions here were about Lin Mo. ¡°Brother Lin, long time no see. You¡¯ve really surprised me ¡­¡± A familiar voice was heard, and a woman slowly walked over under the adoring gazes of countless men. ¡°Mu Yuzhu¡­¡± Lin Mo was surprised. The first person to recognize him was not Xia Yu, but the person in front of him. This woman had given him an opportunity. The Kun Peng Claws, the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art, and the Chaotic World Demonic Ape¡¯s World-changing Technique were all given to him by Mu Yuzhu. Therefore, Lin Mo had a good impression of her. At least, she was not an enemy. ¡°Miss Mu, you¡¯re a goddess. How can my little achievements be compared to yours?¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly. Speaking of which, he still had a jade seal that he had snatched from Gongsun Wenhao. In the end, Mu Yuzhu was the one to take the blame, which made him feel a little apologetic. After all, Lin Mo had gained benefits from someone else, but he also accidentally tricked another person. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t be so humble. In terms of talent, I¡¯m not as good as you.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. She invited Lin Mo over for a chat. There were many people gathered there, such as Gongsun Wenhao, Xia Yu, and many others. They were all geniuses. ¡°You¡¯re Lin Mo, right? Are you the one who conquered the heavenly tribulation in the Death Domain¡¯s sea of stars?¡± Gongsun Wenhao took the lead to ask. The moment he saw Lin Mo, he was certain that Lin Mo was the same person who had gone through the heavenly tribulation in the Death Domain¡¯s sea of stars. That said, why did Lin Mo undergo his tribulation there? Furthermore, the appearance of the God Devouring body would cause a stir, but there had been no news of Lin Mo before. He seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s intuition told him that Lin Mo did not belong to Cloud State. He was not even from the surrounding ten or so states. His background was very mysterious. ¡°That¡¯s me. We¡¯ve met before. Also, thank you¡­¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists and smiled. Without Gongsun Wenhao, he might have needed a month or two to get out of the Death Domain¡¯s sea of stars. At that time, he would probably be absent from the jade seal competition in Blue Ray City. At the same time, he would not be able to make it to Cloud Mist Island in time¡­ ¡°Hmph, the God Devouring Body, huh? When the ancient battlefield opens, I¡¯ll fight you.¡± Gongsun Wenhao coldly snorted. He did not know that Lin Mo¡¯s thanks were genuine and thought that Lin Mo was talking about the jade seal. Lin Mo talked to these people for a while before leaving. He went to the other side. People were selling some treasures there, which was also his goal. ¡°Five earth-grade tier 9 elixirs. I¡¯m going to auction them now. Is there anyone who wants to bid?¡± Spiritual Qi filled the place in an instant. Five elixirs of different colors and shapes appeared, and they were all of earth-grade tier 9. This surprised everyone, and they all gathered around, wanting to participate in the bidding. ¡°Hehe, no wonder you¡¯re taking out so many treasures for auction, Brother Lin. The cultivation of the God Devouring Body indeed requires a lot of resources.¡± Mu Yuzhu had also come to support Lin Mo. She had taken a fancy to an elixir. At the same time, she also subtly expressed that if Lin Mo was willing, he could follow her to the Mu family. She was willing to train Lin Mo as the future guardian of the family¡­ In response, Lin Mo chose to remain silent and began the auction of the first elixir. ¡°This is an earth-grade tier 9 Dragon Sunflower. It¡¯s a rare elixir, and its value is almost as high as a half-step heaven-grade divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo went on and on. In fact, he did not need to say much. Everyone present knew how precious Dragon Sunflowers were. ¡°Let¡¯s cut to the chase. The Dragon Sunflower¡¯s starting price is eight million high-grade spirit stones.¡± The price was very high, but it was definitely worth it. The value of high-grade elixirs had surpassed that of magic tools. Especially for rare treasures like the Dragon Sunflower, people began to bid for it. ¡°Ten million. This Dragon Sunflower is not bad. I¡¯ll take it.¡± At this time, someone shouted out a price not far away. People looked over and found that it was Gongsun Wenhao who was shouting. They could not help but be surprised. Were he and Lin Mo not on the verge of fighting just now? Why was the former participating in the auction now¡­? ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Since you¡¯re auctioning it in public, you¡¯re not going to limit who¡¯s able to bid, are you?¡± Gongsun Wenhao sneered. ¡°Ten million, going once. You¡¯re a guest, so you¡¯re naturally welcome.¡± Lin Mo smiled faintly and called out Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s price. Although he did not know what this guy was up to, he was not afraid. After all, the Gongsun family was the ruler of Cloud State. Gongsun Wenhao would not stint on ten million spirit stones¡­ Soon, Lin Mo also knew why Gongsun Wenhao had come. When he made the bid, although the others wanted the item, they did not dare to say anything and chose to give up. Chapter 598 - 598 Four Divine Medicines 598 Four Divine Medicines ¡°You don¡¯t want me to get the resources?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Was Gongsun Wenhao going to make a move on him? ¡°Don¡¯t feel resentful. You killed my war general, and we¡¯ve incurred enmity. Although I¡¯m not afraid of your growth, it¡¯s best to kill you in the cradle¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao did not deny it. He was suppressing Lin Mo. Lin Mo¡¯s strength was almost on par with his. Since they had become enemies, it was best to get rid of him now. ¡°Lin Mo, 10 million for the Dragon Sunflower. No one is bidding anymore. Are you going to back out?¡± Gongsun Wenhao sneered. The Dragon Sunflower was a wondrous flower. If he took it back and nurtured it properly, it would grow into a heaven-grade divine flower in the future. Thus, its value could even catch up to some half-step heaven-grade divine medicines. If he had not messed things up, the final price would have been at least 30 million high-grade spirit stones. Now, auctioning the Dragon Sunflower for 10 million was no different from losing everything. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll sell it. After all, the energy from the Dragon Sunflower is about 13 million high-grade spirit stones.¡± ¡°But if he backs out, he won¡¯t be able to sell the elixirs he has in the future¡­¡± People discussed animatedly. Although they desired the Dragon Sunflower, they did not dare to offend Gongsun Wenhao. After all, this was Cloud State, the territory of the Gongsun family. Mu Yuzhu, who was standing at the side, also shook her head when she saw this. She wanted to win Lin Mo over, but it was not the time yet. Lin Mo¡¯s identity was unknown, and she could only help him a little. At most, he would have a good impression of her¡­ ¡°Deal. 10 million high-grade spirit stones for the Dragon Sunflower. Pay up.¡± To everyone¡¯s surprise, Lin Mo immediately nodded in agreement and asked Gongsun Wenhao to quickly take out the spirit stones. ¡°What did you just say?¡± Even Gongsun Wenhao was stunned. ¡®What¡¯s going on? He agreed?¡¯ ¡°If you¡¯re not buying, then don¡¯t cause trouble. If you bid, pay up,¡± Lin Mo said impatiently. In fact, he wanted Gongsun Wenhao to buy all five of them at the lowest price. This way, the auction¡¯s rebate would be at least 8,000 times. He would make a huge profit. Of course, the premise was that Gongsun Wenhao was willing to give the spirit stones. ¡°Good, you know when to yield and when to stretch. You¡¯re a man.¡± Gongsun Wenhao sneered and was not stingy with his praise for Lin Mo. He took out 10 million high-grade spirit stones without hesitation and completed the transaction with Lin Mo. After successfully obtaining the Dragon Sunflower, he looked at Lin Mo¡¯s calm expression. For some reason, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Gongsun Wenhao thought about it carefully, but he could not think of anything. Lin Mo would lose more than 20 million high-grade spirit stones because he interfered in the auction. There was nothing wrong¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning off an earth-grade tier 9 Dragon Sunflower.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 3 Dragon Blood Sunflower. The system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and he was overjoyed. He had obtained a heaven-rank divine medicine. What was more, it was of heaven-grade tier 3. The medicinal effect would be unimaginably strong. Lin Mo was certain that as long as he devoured the Dragon Blood Sunflower, his strength would rise to the next step. He had the God Devouring Body, yet he was still able to advance. One could imagine how strong the medicinal effects of the Dragon Blood Sunflower were. ¡°You¡¯re smiling? Let¡¯s see what kind of trick you¡¯re playing.¡± Gongsun Wenhao coldly snorted and stood there, making it clear that he would still participate in the next auction. ¡°The second item is an earth-grade tier 9 Five-leaf Poria Grass. ¡°This item is equally precious as the Dragon Sunflower. The value of the two is similar. ¡°Now, its sixth leaf is about to grow out. At that time, it¡¯ll become a half-step heaven-grade divine medicine. ¡°The starting price is ten million. Is anyone willing to bid?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll start at 10 million. This elixir has the potential to become a divine medicine. Everyone, please give me some face.¡± Unsurprisingly, Gongsun Wenhao spoke again. He directly bought it at the base price, and his words made many people¡¯s expressions change. First, it was the Dragon Sunflower, then the Five-leaf Poria Grass. Could it be that Gongsun Wenhao was going to get all five elixirs? Some people¡¯s gazes drifted, and they subconsciously looked to the other side, where Mu Yuzhu was. Of all the people present, the only one who could ignore Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s status and attack him was this woman. Nonetheless, they were disappointed. Mu Yuzhu looked as if she was enjoying a good show, and she was not willing to participate in the battle at all. ¡°Since no one is bidding, then it¡¯s a deal.¡± Lin Mo had a smile on his face, but it was a little cold, causing people to shiver. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face was full of smiles as he looked at Lin Mo with a smug look. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 Five-leaf Poria Grass.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 3 Nine-leaf Poria Grass.] It was another 10,000 times rebate. The Nine-leaf Poria Grass was the best of all elixirs. It had reached its limit. A heaven-grade tier 3 elixir contained endless life force, and the system space was full of life for a while. Lin Mo looked at the Nine-leaf Poria Grass. It was more like a vine than a grass. A half-meter-long vine lay in the system space. Other than its roots, it had nine segments. Each segment had a tender green leaf that contained boundless life force. ¡°What a treasure.¡± Lin Mo exclaimed to himself. Even if his origin was injured, he could be revived after eating a piece of the Nine-leaf Poria Grass. All his injuries would be healed. ¡°It seems that Gongsun Wenhao has done me a great favor¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He hoped that Gongsun Wenhao would cause more trouble. It would be good if someone would cause trouble every time there was a treasure with a rebate¡­ Of course, this was also because the items he auctioned off could bring back a profit. If the item being auctioned was a treasure given by the system and there was no rebate, then he would have made his move the moment the Dragon Sunflower was sold. ¡°Lin Mo, why are you hesitating? Where are the remaining elixirs? Hurry up and auction them.¡± On the other side, Gongsun Wenhao looked at Lin Mo, who was in a daze, and could not help but sneer. At first, he had thought that Lin Mo was up to something. Now, it seemed that he was simply overthinking it. It made sense. No matter how talented a rogue cultivator was, what could he do? ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just distracted.¡± How could Lin Mo let go of such a great opportunity? He immediately continued the auction. As expected, the third elixir was also won by Gongsun Wenhao. Some people even secretly reminded Lin Mo that he could raise the starting price so that he would not lose money. Lin Mo turned a deaf ear to that and continued to auction his items. He did the same for the fourth elixir. He got 40 million high-grade spirit stones, whereas Gongsun Wenhao got four fine earth-grade tier 9 elixirs. From other people¡¯s perspectives, Lin Mo suffered a great loss. However, no one knew that in such a short time, he had obtained four heaven-grade divine medicines in the system space, and they were all of heaven-grade tier 3¡­ ¡°Is this my fate? I¡¯m only lacking the Zhu Yan Blood Essence now¡­ Lin Mo was excited. He had to find the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. He was willing to pay a high price for it. ¡°The last auction item¡­¡± Chapter 599 - 599 Heaven 599 Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus Lin Mo pointed at the last elixir in the field. It was also the most precious one in his hands. ¡°A defective Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus, earth-grade tier 9. ¡°The Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus is divided into nine grades. The ninth grade is a heaven-grade tier nine divine medicine, which is very rare. ¡°Its value can no longer be weighed by spirit stones. ¡°However, the one in my hand is incomplete, so it¡¯s only a tier 9. ¡°After taking it back, you can inject a large number of resources into it to nurture it. It¡¯ll still be inferior to divine medicine. I can guarantee that.¡± Lin Mo said regretfully. It was a pity that it was only a defective product. Even so, he was also lucky. If it grew to the first grade, the demonic beast guarding it would have devoured it. This was because after the demonic beast entered the Ruler realm, its talent would have reached its limit. It would need divine medicine to improve its body. It was a pity that it did not wait for the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus to mature. Lin Mo happened to run into it and took it away. Due to this, Lin Mo was chased by the demonic beast for three days and three nights. If not for the Kun Peng Wings and the World-changing Technique, he would not have been able to escape. ¡°Stop talking nonsense. I want this treasure. I¡¯ll bid 10 million. Let¡¯s quickly close the deal. No one is willing to bid.¡± Gongsun Wenhao was smiling. This trip had been a fruitful one. He did not know what Lin Mo was thinking, but he just did not raise the starting price¡­ ¡°Lord Gongsun Wenhao, my young lady has long taken a fancy to this Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus. You¡¯re not being kind.¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to announce the deal, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s maidservant spoke. Since she spoke, it must have been Mu Yuzhu¡¯s idea. The words she said were also Mu Yuzhu¡¯s intentions. ¡°Oh, Mu Yuzhu, are you going to interfere in this matter?¡± Gongsun Wenhao was not happy. After obtaining so many things, he subconsciously thought that he would also be able to bag the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus. ¡°Young master, you must be joking.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. She stepped forward and said, ¡°In an auction, the one who bids with the highest price will get the item. I like this treasure very much. Can¡¯t I bid for it?¡± At the same time, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s maidservant also called out a bid of 15 million spirit stones. She finally made his move¡­ Some people present were waiting to watch a good show. Some smart people had guessed that Mu Yuzhu did not make a move earlier because of the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus. The truth was just as they had expected. Mu Yuzhu made her bid at the end of the auction. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s expression turned cold. At the same time, he looked at Mu Yuzhu with some fear, and his expression changed. To everyone¡¯s surprise, Gongsun Wenhao, who had always been strong and never retreated, retreated at this time. Gongsun Wenhao cupped his fists at Mu Yuzhu and said, ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll have to congratulate you, Miss Mu. I¡¯ve obtained four elixirs, so I¡¯ll let you have the fifth one.¡± He had fought with Mu Yuzhu before and knew her strength. He also knew that she was not someone to be trifled with. Now that he was going to deal with Lin Mo, he could not start fighting with Mu Yuzhu first. ¡°Oh?¡± This time, it was Mu Yuzhu¡¯s turn to be astonished. Gongsun Wenhao retreated¡­ ¡°Alright, then it¡¯s a deal for 15 million spirit stones.¡± Finally, Lin Mo opened his mouth. When Gongsun Wenhao admitted defeat, he hurriedly announced the results of the auction. This scene made everyone¡¯s jaw drop. ¡®You¡¯ve lost so much, so why are you still so eager to close the deal? Shouldn¡¯t you be praying that these two people will continue to bid?¡¯ The bystanders were speechless, not understanding what Lin Mo was up to. Even Mu Yuzhu was taken aback. Before she could say anything, her maidservant had completed the transaction with Lin Mo. With 15 million high-grade spirit stones in hand, Lin Mo handed over the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus, and the auction ended. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the earth-grade tier 9 defective Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus.] [Successfully triggered a 9,000 times auction rebate] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 3 Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus of the third grade.] Although it was not a 10,000 times rebate, the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus was extraordinary, to begin with, so the rebate was still a heaven-grade tier 3. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯m taking advantage of you. I¡¯ll give you some more spirit stones.¡± Mu Yuzhu felt bad. After all, she had never thought of threatening others and not allowing others to bid. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. This is how auctions are, and I can afford to lose. However, I¡¯ll have to ask you to watch from the side for what happens next.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. At the same time, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and a cold killing intent emerged. He looked at Gongsun Wenhao on the other side and found that the latter was also looking at him with killing intent. ¡°The boring auction is over. Now, you can be on your way.¡± Gongsun Wenhao said with a sneer. He was not surprised to see that Lin Mo also had killing intent toward him. ¡°Right now, you¡¯re only at the sixth step of tier 1 Immortal Foundation. Could it be that you have some sort of technique up your sleeve, wanting to lure me into making a move?¡± Gongsun Wenhao asked. ¡°If you¡¯re afraid of death, you can ask your subordinates to come over first. I¡¯m going to kill them anyway,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He took out the Space-severing Divine Sword. Facing Gongsun Wenhao, he did not dare to be careless. The Kun Peng Wings instantly spread out. This was the Kun Peng Art. As soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone¡¯s attention and made them gasp in admiration. ¡°Yang Chao, Gu Feng, you two go and fight him.¡± Gongsun Wenhao waved his hand. Not far away, in a pavilion, two young men who were drinking and having fun suddenly stood up. The two of them arrived at the arena and unleashed their powerful auras. People retreated one after another, unwilling to be implicated. ¡°You have quite the temper. You only lost some spirit stones. If you know what¡¯s good for you and say something nice, Lord Wenhao might spare your life. Now¡­¡± Yang Chao and Gu Feng sneered. After receiving Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s order, they immediately took action. ¡°He might have some powerful killing weapon in his hands. Be careful and use your protective runes.¡± The two of them said at the same time and activated their protective runes to ensure that nothing would go wrong. After all, they were dealing with the God Devouring Body. Although Lin Mo¡¯s realm was not high enough, they still did not dare to be careless. ¡°Miss, aren¡¯t you going to make a move?¡± On the other side, Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant came to a pavilion to rest. Now that a battle was unavoidable, Lin Mo would be at a disadvantage if he was alone. Furthermore, Gongsun Wenhao was not a simple person. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate Lin Mo. He¡¯s not simple. Even I don¡¯t have the confidence to defeat him¡­ ¡°If Gongsun Wenhao underestimates his enemy, he¡¯ll have to pay the price¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu sipped her tea and said indifferently. ¡°No way¡­¡± The maidservant was shocked. The God Devouring Body had such strong combat power? ¡°Boom!¡± A great battle was imminent. Yang Chao and Gu Feng were both geniuses on the Prodigy Roll, and their battle prowess was formidable. Now that they had joined forces, even the top ten on the Prodigy Roll would find it difficult to deal with them, much less Lin Mo. ¡°Although you have the God Devouring Body and you¡¯re talented, your realm is too low.¡± Gu Feng sneered. He flicked his hand and threw out a scroll. On it was a painting of mountains and rivers. In an instant, a huge mountain flew out of the scroll. The mountain peak fell like a meteorite, suppressing Lin Mo. ¡°A petty trick.¡± Lin Mo raised his hand. He did not even use his spiritual Qi. He shook the mountain and blew it up. Chapter 600 - 600 Duel With Gongsun Wenhao 600 Duel With Gongsun Wenhao Soon after, mountains appeared one after another, and raging flames burned on them, turning them into shooting stars. The stars fell from the sky and covered the area with Dao flames. This space was sealed by the Mountain River Painting, imprisoning everything. If Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body was not so overbearing that he could forcefully absorb the surrounding spiritual Qi to replenish his energy, he would have consumed a lot of spiritual Qi just to face this attack. ¡°Whoosh!¡± This was not the end. In the Mountain River Painting, rivers flowed out, causing a flood to fill the sky. This was a flood formed by runes and spiritual Qi. ¡°This magic tool is probably heaven-grade¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. Just its ability to imprison everything was enough to restrict his movements. The Space-severing Divine Sword cut through the meteors. Lin Mo raised his hand and activated the Soul Devouring Art. A black hole spread out from his God Devouring Body and devoured the spiritual Qi from all directions. Even the incoming flood was devoured, becoming Lin Mo¡¯s means of fighting against his enemies. ¡°Interesting.¡± In the distance, Gongsun Wenhao looked at this scene and could not help but praise Lin Mo. The God Devouring Body could devour everything, even the attacks of the opponent. It was extremely powerful. Even so, Lin Mo was still very weak and could not unleash the power of the God Devouring Body. It was very difficult for him to resist the Mountain River Painting. The scroll continued to release runes, and the spiritual Qi within it gushed forth and attacked Lin Mo. Under Gu Feng and Yang Chao¡¯s control, they exploded as soon as they got close to Lin Mo. Terrifying explosions filled the air. Nevertheless, none of this could hurt Lin Mo. The black hole domain formed by the God Devouring Body blocked all damage. The flood could not advance an inch, and the mountains could not be built. The crowd was amazed. This was a heaven-grade magic tool, but it was blocked just like that¡­ At the same time, Lin Mo began to fight back. The Space-severing Divine Sword broke through the void, and a terrifying Sword Qi spread. Despite that, the one who was truly in control was still Gu Feng. This should have been given to him by his family¡¯s elders. With a ¡°clang¡±, Lin Mo broke free from the Mountain River Painting¡¯s seal. The Kun Peng Wings flapped, and Lin Mo appeared behind Gu Feng in an instant. The Space-severing Divine Sword slashed down, and the terrifying Sword Qi shocked Gu Feng. ¡°Get out of the way.¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s expression changed. The contempt he had for Lin Mo completely disappeared and was replaced with fear. ¡°Buzz.¡± At the same time, the Mountain River Painting spun and was recalled by Gu Feng. The mountains and rivers disappeared, and everything returned to normal. The Space-severing Divine Sword struck the Mountain River Painting. It emitted a gentle light that wrapped around the blade, making it difficult for Lin Mo to retrieve it. In response, Lin Mo laughed mockingly. He looked at Gu Feng, who seemed to be facing a great enemy, and his figure became illusory. He let go of the Space-severing Divine Sword in his hand, and it stuck to the Mountain River Painting. Without Lin Mo¡¯s control, the Space-severing Divine Sword was no match for the Mountain River Painting. It was enveloped by the energy it emitted and lost its connection with Lin Mo. ¡°Yang Chao, retreat!¡± Gongsun Wenhao made his move, and at the same time, he ordered Yang Chao, who had come to rescue Gu Feng, to retreat. However, it was too late! Lin Mo had the Kun Peng Wings, and no one could match the speed of the Kun Peng. Although Gongsun Wenhao was the first to come to the rescue, he was still too late. The Kun Peng Wings grew out of Lin Mo¡¯s arms, and his palm in front turned into sharp Kun Peng Claws. A cold light flashed across Yang Chao¡¯s forehead. Yang Chao wanted to defend himself when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s attack, but the sharp claws pierced through him the next moment. His soul was grabbed by Lin Mo, and with a slight force, he was killed. From the beginning to the end, Yang Chao did not even have the chance to let out a scream before he was killed. The crowd was shocked and had a new understanding of Lin Mo¡¯s strength. Only then did they understand that this was the person who could light nine ancient bronze lamps and had the God Devouring body that had only appeared a few times in the history of the human race¡­ Moreover, the God Devouring Body had stopped appearing since the ancient era. It had been a million years, but they did not know much about the God Devouring Body. They only knew that it had a strong fighting power and was one of the strongest body types in the human race. It required the consumption of a lot of energy for cultivation¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the Kun Peng Claws. He possesses this incomplete technique¡­¡± In the pavilion, Mu Yuzhu saw this scene and finally understood. By using the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed to display the Kun Peng Claws, the power would be greatly increased. Even if Gongsun Wenhao was hit by the attack, he would be injured. ¡°Gongsun Wenhao, you let things slip¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered at Gongsun Wenhao, who had arrived late. His figure disappeared once again. The speed of the Kun Peng Wings was unparalleled, and when he reappeared, he was in front of Gu Feng. A palm blasted out, and the Mountain River Painting burst with multicolored light, helping Gu Feng block this attack. At the same time, Lin Mo raised his hand to free the Space-severing Divine Sword and held it in his hand again. In the next moment, he slashed forward with his long sword. The Vermilion Bird Divine Flame appeared and was attached to the Sword Qi. This attack was so powerful that even the Mountain River Painting could not resist it. Gu Feng¡¯s expression changed greatly, and he frantically retreated, waiting for Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s rescue. ¡°Boom!¡± The Sword Qi exploded. The terrifying level of Lin Mo¡¯s attack made people feel apprehensive. They had no choice but to retreat again to avoid being affected. Mu Yuzhu and the others also left. This temporary gathering place, the pavilion, the courtyard, and the pond, were all burned to the ground. The Mountain River Painting was indeed a heaven-grade magic tool. It was very powerful. It helped Gu Feng block most of the Sword Qi and even resisted the power of the explosion. Although it had consumed a large amount of Gu Feng¡¯s spiritual Qi, it had still managed to block Lin Mo¡¯s full-powered attack. ¡°You¡¯re courting death¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears, and a pair of tiger claws ruthlessly smashed toward Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s the White Tiger Arm, a powerful art of the White Tiger clan.¡± People were shocked. Gongsun Wenhao had used such a powerful move. Was he planning to end the battle quickly? At this moment, people saw Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s power and felt that Lin Mo might be killed soon. The sound of a sonic boom rang out. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. This attack was too strong. That said, he would not retreat. Since Gongsun Wenhao wanted to fight, he would meet him. Lin Mo placed the Space-severing Divine Sword in front of him and attached the flames and lightning to it. Mu Yuzhu watched the battle from a distance with great interest. This was the first time she had seen a battle involving a God Devouring Body, and she was very interested. ¡°Dang!¡± The mountains and rivers trembled, and the sound of metal vibrating spread out, causing pain in everyone¡¯s eardrums. Some even spat out blood, unable to withstand the aftermath of the collision between the two. ¡°How terrifying¡­¡± The battle between the two was too terrifying, and the crowd had to retreat another 3 kilometers to ensure their safety. As the dust settled, Li Mo and Gongsun Wenhao could be seen standing in midair. The power of the attack just now had not ended. The White Tiger Arm was extremely powerful, allowing Gongsun Wenhao to use his body to block the blade of the Space-severing Divine Sword. The blade of the sword only left a shallow mark on the White Tiger¡¯s Arm, unable to hurt it in the slightest. This first exchange was so powerful that the ground shook and the mountains swayed. When the two of them separated, they retreated by over a hundred meters¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. This was the first bitter battle he had encountered since he arrived on the Northern Continent. His opponent was too strong. At this moment, he only felt his arm ache, and a numbing feeling spread throughout his body. This was caused by his physical body suffering an extremely strong impact. He could not help but sigh. Gongsun Wenhao was indeed powerful. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of physical strength, Gongsun Wenhao was on par with Lin Mo, which showed how terrifying he was¡­ Chapter 601 - 601 Intense Physical Battle 601 Intense Physical Battle Gongsun Wenhao was astonished as he looked at Lin Mo. ¡®Is this the God Devouring Body? His physical body is extremely terrifying¡­¡¯ ¡°My God, this is impossible. How could Lin Mo block Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s attack?¡± Seeing this scene, people cried out involuntarily. This was too unbelievable. Gongsun Wenhao was ranked fifth on the Prodigy Roll and was extremely powerful. Although Lin Mo had the God Devouring Body, his cultivation level was not high enough. Now that the two of them were evenly matched, would Lin Mo not be heaven-defying when his realm caught up? ¡°It¡¯s too terrifying. Is this the power of the God Devouring Body? Wouldn¡¯t he be invincible against someone in the same realm?¡± Everyone murmured. Being able to be on par with Gongsun Wenhao, whose realm was higher, was too extraordinary. After all, they were aware of Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s strength. He was able to sweep away many geniuses, and there were not many in the same realm who could fight him. Even so, there were still some more rational people, such as Mu Yuzhu, Gu Feng, and others. They looked at the battlefield quietly. The battle had just begun, and the two of them had not even used their full strength. ¡°Look, they¡¯re fighting again. The commotion is getting bigger. Someone cried out in alarm. Within a boundless radiance, Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s figures were entangled, and sword radiances continuously exploded in the air. Occasionally, they would stop. The two of them continued to face each other. Lin Mo held the Space-severing Divine Sword in his hand and blocked Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s attacks. ¡°I still think that Lord Gongsun Wenhao can win. He hasn¡¯t even used his magic tool.¡± Someone commented. The impression that Gongsun Wenhao had left on them was too deep, making them think that he could win. Lin Mo raised his hand and used the Kun Peng Claws to scratch the White Tiger Arm, causing five bloody wounds to appear. At the same time, he slashed out with his sword. Lightning and fire attached to it, and a monstrous sword light burst out and suppressed down. The quality of the Space-severing Divine Sword was extraordinary, and it allowed the Sword Qi¡¯s power to explode to its maximum. At this moment, the vermilion bird¡¯s figure appeared behind Lin Mo. The vermilion bird danced in the lightning. Although it spat out scarlet mist and endless flames, it was still a vermilion bird. This attack contained the laws of two attributes and even the vermilion bird¡¯s art. It made countless people feel overwhelmed with shock. The movement caused by this move was too great. Lin Mo was not simple. His realm was lower, but he could fight evenly with Gongsun Wenhao. When he retaliated, the power he erupted with was even stronger. The sword enlarged, and the sword light gathered. Lin Mo raised it high and slashed down as if it could cleave down the sun, the moon, and the stars. ¡°Puff!¡± Gongsun Wenhao did not want to be outdone. A golden light appeared on his body, especially on his arms. Many runes were flickering there, and the golden light was so dazzling that people could not open their eyes. ¡°Dang!¡± A crisp sound of collision rang out, and everyone felt a ringing in their ears as if they were about to go deaf. Sword Qi swept across, and golden light flashed. The space here distorted, and the energy generated from the collision tore everything apart, forming cracks in the void. This was too heaven-defying! Was this a battle between Rulers? This was what everyone was thinking. They were all extremely shocked, thinking that this was too unbelievable. The terrifying explosion spread. At this point, even a Ruler would frown. ¡°Boom!¡± With a loud bang, Lin Mo wielded the Space-severing Divine Sword and fought Gongsun Wenhao once again. The illusionary image of the vermilion bird appeared behind him. On Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body, a golden light appeared, and all kinds of runes flickered. After the collision, the cracks in the void were still there and would not heal in a short time. Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao looked at each other and did not say anything. That said, the battle intent between the two of them had reached its peak. The commotion caused by the battle was huge, attracting countless people to come and watch. At that moment, Lin Mo was slightly shocked. The other party was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He knew that Gongsun Wenhao definitely had the qualifications to be the first on Cloud State¡¯s Prodigy Roll. It was just that he had not achieved it yet. During the exchange of blows, Lin Mo could sense that the golden light that appeared on his opponent¡¯s body was a terrifying Body-tempering Art. Despite that, Gongsun Wenhao had not completely cultivated it to perfection, so the golden light was released and could not be restrained. Once he could completely control the golden light outside his body, his physical body would be complete, and he would be invincible against someone in the same realm¡­ Lin Mo rubbed his numb arm, but his fighting spirit did not diminish. The other party had yet to reach perfection, but he also had room for improvement. He had to cultivate the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art. By then, he would be able to advance with the help of that terrifying energy. ¡°Hehe, you know how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Interesting.¡± Gongsun Wenhao chuckled. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and golden runes flowed around his body, making him look incomparably divine. He had been receiving Lin Mo¡¯s attacks, wanting to see what was so special about the God Devouring Body. However, Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was beyond his imagination, and he could not force Lin Mo to use the God Devouring Body completely. Hearing this, Lin Mo sneered. He was indeed playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses. He knew that it was impossible to defeat Gongsun Wenhao by relying on martial arts or cultivation. After all, Gongsun Wenhao was a genius of the Gongsun family. How could someone ranked fifth on the Prodigy Roll of Cloud State have a simple attainment in martial arts? Thus, Lin Mo closed the distance from the start and chose to fight close combat with the other party. This way, he could close the gap in their cultivation bases. Although Lin Mo had not cultivated the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art, he had tempered his body to the extreme in every realm. In addition, the God Devouring Body could refine his body. This was the reason he could compete with Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°Boom!¡± The sound of a sword clashing exploded as it slashed at the golden light, creating a deafening sound. After many exchanges, Lin Mo was forced back. The Space-severing Divine Sword left his hand and was sent flying. His palm was bleeding. After so many collisions, he was starting to get injured, even though his physical body was terrifying. The golden light on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body also began to crack, showing signs of damage. Even though he knew that Lin Mo was playing to his strengths to avoid his weaknesses, he still did not pull away. He wanted to know how powerful the one-in-a-million physique of the human race was. ¡°Why is my lord doing this? The God Devouring Body is unparalleled in the world and can be compared to a true dragon.¡± Gu Feng sighed. He knew what Gongsun Wenhao was thinking. Gongsun Wenhao just wanted to know the God Devouring Body¡¯s true combat strength. Gu Feng was worried that something unexpected might happen. ¡°What a terrifying pair. They¡¯ve exchanged a hundred blows¡­¡± Someone exclaimed. They knew that Lin Mo would be able to enter the Prodigy Roll after this battle. Due to his realm, his ranking might fall behind Gongsun Wenhao¡­ At the same time, a guess appeared in everyone¡¯s hearts. Could Lin Mo¡­ Be victorious? As soon as this thought appeared, they immediately abandoned it. What kind of joke was this? Gongsun Wenhao being defeated by someone three steps lower than him? That would be impossible. For now, Gongsun Wenhao and Lin Mo still focused on their physical bodies, supplemented by spiritual Qi and martial arts techniques. Such a battle would not last long. Once Gongsun Wenhao knew that Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was not weaker than his, he would use a large amount of spiritual Qi. At that time, Lin Mo would not be able to withstand the crushing pressure of the massive amount of spiritual Qi. This battle shook the whole of the Kun Peng Nest. In addition, there was also the strange phenomenon that occurred when Lin Mo opened the nest. The news of Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body had spread throughout the island, and everyone had rushed over to see him. Chapter 602 - 602 Abyssal Devouring 602 Abyssal Devouring Besides, the news was still spreading. Although Cloud State was huge, news spread very quickly, and Communication Jade Seals were constantly used. Soon, everyone felt something strange and took out a scroll. This scroll was also a magic tool, and it came from the Gongsun family. It was the list of prodigies that they released after they ruled Cloud State. As long as a powerful young man appeared in Cloud State, the Gongsun family would record the news. Now, Lin Mo was fighting Gongsun Wenhao with his physical body and was not at a disadvantage. Moreover, when he lit the ancient bronze lamps, all nine lamps were lit. Now that the Prodigy Roll had been refreshed, everyone turned their attention to the rankings. ¡°Tenth place on the Prodigy Roll, rogue cultivator Lin Mo. He has the God Devouring Body and is a half-step Almighty at the sixth step. His physical body is unparalleled.¡± Someone read out Lin Mo¡¯s ranking, and many people were shocked. After this battle, as long as Lin Mo did not die, he would definitely become famous, and even the neighboring states would hear the news. ¡°Miss, are we not going to attack? Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual Qi cultivation isn¡¯t enough. He won¡¯t be able to win¡­¡± On a distant mountain peak, Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant were standing there, watching the two people fighting. Seeing the calm Mu Yuzhu, the maidservant became a little anxious. Did the young lady not want to recruit Lin Mo? Why was she not making a move? ¡°Recruit him¡­?¡± Mu Yuzhu smiled helplessly. The power that Lin Mo displayed shocked even her. Such a genius would not bow down to anyone. Mu Yuzhu shook her head and said, ¡°It won¡¯t be long before he can get away. He won¡¯t fight for long.¡± On the battlefield, although Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao were in deep trouble, the two were still evenly matched. The crowd was enjoying the show, but the only regret was that the cultivation of the God Devouring Body was not complete, so they could not tell who was stronger ¡­ Between the two of them, the sword light and the golden light kept clashing, and finally, they were all shattered. So far, Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao had fought for 200 rounds, and they were still at their peak. The injuries that appeared from the occasional collisions from before had also completely recovered at this moment. ¡°Die!¡± The golden light appeared again, but this time, it was accompanied by Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s massive spiritual Qi. Being a half-step Almighty at the ninth step allowed him to look down on everyone. Under the golden light, he was like a huge sun, bringing with him the might of the heavens. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were solemn. He held the Space-severing Divine Sword and allowed the golden light to flash. However, under the protection of the sword light, it could not get close to him. A divine light appeared in Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s eyes, and runes flickered. He let out a soft cry, and a bright silver halberd appeared in his hand. At that moment, he began to use all his strength. This magic tool was extremely terrifying, and the aura it emitted made Lin Mo¡¯s heart tremble. ¡°A heaven-grade magic tool ¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had expected this. Even Gu Feng had. A heaven-grade magic tool. How could Gongsun Wenhao not have one? As the halberd slashed down, Lin Mo¡¯s life was bound to be taken. The sword light was shattered at this moment, and Lin Mo was exposed. Despite that, a Qilin pattern also appeared under his feet at this moment. ¡°It¡¯s the Silver Light Slash, a heaven-grade martial art¡­¡± People cried out in alarm. Gongsun Wenhao began to use his true strength. The battle was about to turn into a one-sided situation. They all backed off, knowing the power of the Gongsun family¡¯s Silver Light Slash. It was a heaven-grade tier 3 martial art with amazing power. When Gongsun Wenhao used a heaven-grade magic tool, even a Ruler would have to take it seriously. The destructive power of this move was not something that Lin Mo could block¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Lin Mo is a rogue cultivator ¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s such a pity. Moreover, his realm is lagging, and he doesn¡¯t have a complete inheritance¡­¡± Some people sighed. The disadvantages of being a rogue cultivator were that their cultivation speed was too slow and their foundation was lacking. What Gongsun Wenhao was using at the moment was undoubtedly a heaven-grade martial art. This was the foundation of the Gongsun family, which Lin Mo did not have. Although he had mastered a few incomplete techniques of ancient divine beasts, they could only be considered as half a step to heaven-grade. At most, they had just reached the heaven-grade¡­ ¡°Is the God Devouring Body going to be destroyed just like that¡­?¡± Its appearance was short-lived, so people felt that it was a pity. They thought that Lin Mo would not be able to block this attack¡­ ¡°This is great. Lord is finally going all-out to kill the enemy,¡± someone shouted, saying that Gongsun Wenhao was invincible. The person was Gu Feng, one of the battle generals under Gongsun Wenhao. To him, once Gongsun Wenhao used his true power, Lin Mo would die without a doubt. That was the truth. Lin Mo used the Qilin Step and released the Qilin pattern, but it was destroyed by the silver light the next moment. The silver halberd slashed down, and its power did not decrease. It was extremely fast, and right after the Qilin pattern was destroyed, it hit Lin Mo hard. This strike tore the void apart and formed a terrifying crack that could devour everything. Everyone backed away again, afraid that the spatial crack would spread and envelop them. Just as everyone thought that Lin Mo would be killed by this attack, an unforeseen event occurred. A black hole appeared where Lin Mo had been. The black hole was incomparably deep, and it made people¡¯s hearts palpitate. There was an unparalleled power contained within it, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. ¡°Is that from the God Devouring Body?¡± The result was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. They did not expect that after being hit by Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s Silver Light Slash, Lin Mo could still have such terrifying power. ¡°Boom!¡± The black hole contained lightning and fire, and its power was beyond imagination. It gradually expanded, and a terrifying suction force came over. The people watching the battle felt as if something was about to leave their bodies. ¡°My spiritual Qi. What¡¯s going on?¡± Someone was shocked, but before anyone could stop it, a bright light appeared from the Immortal Foundation in the center of his eyebrows. That was his spiritual Qi, but it did not listen to his command and was forcibly sucked away by the suction force. The crowd was in an uproar. They struggled and used all kinds of methods to prevent their spiritual Qi from flowing out. That said, they soon realized that the lost spiritual Qi was not the origin. It could be recovered, and it was just like their spiritual Qi was depleted. At the same time, they were also shocked by the God Devouring Body¡¯s means. It could forcibly devour people¡¯s spiritual Qi. Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared in the black hole. At this moment, he was also surprised. When his life was threatened just now, he was prepared to be killed and let his soul escape¡­ However, at this critical moment, his God Devouring Body erupted. The Soul Devouring Art circulated at high speed, and a suction force came from his dantian, devouring the power of the Silver Light Slash. ¡°Abyssal Devouring.¡± Lin Mo subconsciously shouted these words. The runes from the Soul Devouring Art were also imprinted in his heart. Runes flickered, and the black hole expanded. The absorbed Qi gradually expanded and gathered around Lin Mo¡¯s body. He naturally could not devour these powers. They were too turbid and had all kinds of attributes. Despite that, at this moment, he could feel that the runes nurtured by the Soul Devouring Art were imprinted in his heart. When they were activated, he could control the spiritual Qi. ¡°Quickly retreat¡­¡± Some people were shocked. The spiritual Qi in their bodies had been sucked away. Was this the ability of the God Devouring Body? Swallowing everything for one¡¯s own use. It was the same as using different means to obtain the same result. Chapter 603 - 603 Strong Foundation 603 Strong Foundation ¡°My Lord.¡± Gu Feng was shocked and very anxious. The God Devouring Body¡¯s method was too strange. A part of the spiritual Qi in his body had also been absorbed. The power gathered on Lin Mo¡¯s body was too strong. He barely managed to activate it and used the Vermillion Bird Art¡¯s Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, the Qilin Step, and the Kun Peng Claws. The three killing moves were activated at the same time, and Lin Mo¡¯s power exploded. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s heart trembled, and he was unable to maintain the golden light on his body. He held a bright silver halberd in his hand as he stood between heaven and earth. His body erupted with endless divine light, and in the next moment, an orange-yellow armor enveloped him. Lin Mo¡¯s three killing moves came at the same time and hit the armor, but they could not hurt it at all. There was not even a slight movement. Lin Mo¡¯s heart trembled at the sight. How many treasures did this person have¡­? Without a doubt, this was also a heaven-grade magic tool, and its grade was definitely not low. Otherwise, it would not have remained unmoved in the face of Lin Mo¡¯s attacks. ¡°The God Devouring Body truly lives up to its name. It¡¯s a pity that you only have some incomplete techniques¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao sneered. At this time, his face was ashen, and the orange armor on his body had retreated. Although he was powerful, he did not have enough spiritual Qi to activate two heaven-grade magical tools. This battle armor was his last trump card to save his life. It was given to him by the clan leader, and he would not use it on normal days. Today, he could only activate his armor to defend himself against Lin Mo, who was of a lower realm than him. ¡°Mu Yuzhu, why are you coming?¡± Suddenly, Gongsun Wenhao asked in a cold voice while the crowd was sighing for Lin Mo. He and Lin Mo looked at the same time. Two figures were rushing over. Mu Yuzhu was wearing a long dress, and her beautiful face had a faint smile on it. It was so mesmerizing that one would be unable to look away. ¡°What an interesting battle. I can¡¯t help but feel a little excited¡­¡± A soft chuckle came out of Mu Yuzhu¡¯s mouth. Many young elites fell into her trap. To them, she who was in mid-air was like a fairy from the human world¡­ ¡°Are you going to interfere? This is Cloud State, the territory of the Gongsun family,¡± Gongsun Wenhao coldly said. Lin Mo¡¯s final move made him feel danger. Since they had become enemies, he had to kill them. Right now, Gongsun Wenhao had contacted the people from the Black Death Sect, and there were powerhouses rushing over. Perhaps Mu Yuzhu had also sensed it, so she had chosen to make a move at this time. Was she planning to save Lin Mo? ¡°The Gongsun family has always been powerful, and there are many outstanding people in the clan. I¡¯d like to learn a thing or two today. Are you willing to do so?¡± Mu Yuzhu came to the center of the battlefield, looked at Gongsun Wenhao, and issued a challenge. The tables had turned. Lin Mo might not die. Mu Yuzhu from the Mu clan of Bamboo State was about to make her move. ¡°Mu Yuzhu has entered the Hidden Dragon Rank, while Gongsun Wenhao has yet to¡­¡± Some people were worried. After all, this was Cloud State. If Gongsun Wenhao lost to the greatest genius of Bamboo State, they would lose their reputation¡­ ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t talk nonsense. It¡¯s just that my lord¡¯s body hasn¡¯t been trained to perfection yet, so he didn¡¯t challenge the Hidden Dragon rank. ¡°When his physical body is complete, he¡¯ll be able to reach the top of the Prodigy Roll and enter the Hidden Dragon Rank.¡± Gu Feng said coldly from the side. Gongsun Wenhao had not completely mastered the cultivation technique he had cultivated, and his physical body had not reached perfection. ¡°If my lord has reached perfection, how could the God Devouring Body fight to a draw with him?¡± Little did he know that Lin Mo had yet to reach perfection as well. Moreover, every time the God Devouring Body broke through to the next realm, it was tempering and improving Lin Mo¡¯s body¡­ ¡°Mu Yuzhu, do you really want to interfere in this?¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face was cold. Lin Mo¡¯s combat strength was not weak. If Mu Yuzhu really wanted to make a move, he would not be able to kill Lin Mo by himself¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, what¡¯s the point of standing behind a woman? Come out and compete with my lord if you have the guts.¡± Gu Feng was also clamoring for Lin Mo to stop hiding. ¡°That¡¯s right, Lin Mo. You have the God Devouring Body, one of the strongest body types of the human race. How can you retreat? Come out and fight.¡± Many people agreed in the dark. They were all people who wanted to get close to the Gongsun family and wanted Lin Mo to come out and die. ¡°Lin Mo, don¡¯t tell me you fell for their provocations?¡± Mu Yuzhu secretly transmitted her voice to Lin Mo. Just now, Lin Mo had sent her a voice transmission, telling her not to interfere. ¡°Could it be that he didn¡¯t sense that danger is approaching¡­?¡± She had no choice but to tell Lin Mo that the Black Death Sect was approaching. ¡°Thank you, Miss Mu. I already know that I can leave without your help.¡± Lin Mo was confident that he could escape. After all, he was controlling the Kun Peng at an extreme speed. It would be easy for him to leave unless there was a Ruler in the Black Death Sect. ¡°I forgot that you have the Kun Peng Wings. It seems like I¡¯ve done something unnecessary¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Mu Yuzhu finally understood that Lin Mo would be fine. At most, he would be in a slightly more difficult position. ¡°I still have to thank you for helping me. I¡¯ll remember this favor.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. The two of them were conversing through voice transmission. After knowing that Lin Mo was fine, Mu Yuzhu did not stop him. She turned around and left with her maidservant. ¡°Hmph, Mu Yuzhu from the Mu clan. I, Gongsun Wenhao, will remember this¡­¡± Seeing Mu Yuzhu leave, Gongsun Wenhao let out a sigh of relief and muttered to himself. Although Mu Yuzhu did not make a move, the enmity between them had been formed. If they were to meet on the ancient battlefield, there would definitely be a battle¡­ ¡°Young master, we¡¯re here.¡± At this moment, a group of people was rushing over from the end of Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s line of sight. In a few flashes, they appeared on the battlefield. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. Let¡¯s attack him together and kill him.¡± Gongsun Wenhao waved his hand. Everyone took out their magic tools, waiting in formation. He also took action. He held the silver halberd and further suppressed Lin Mo. Perhaps he was worried that Lin Mo would use the God Devouring Body again, so he did not use too much spiritual Qi. His goal was simple. He wanted to hold Lin Mo back so that the people of the Black Death Sect could set up a formation and kill Lin Mo with a powerful killing formation. This was the safest way. ¡°Today will be the day of your death¡­¡± Looking at Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s formation, Lin Mo could not help but smile. It would be quite troublesome to escape today. Even so, it was just a little troublesome. If he wanted to leave, even if a Ruler came, it would be difficult to stop him. ¡°Gongsun Wenhao, let¡¯s fight next time.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and the Kun Peng Wings on his back burst forth. The wings turned golden, and his speed soared. Some of the Black Death Sect¡¯s subordinates could not even see where Lin Mo was. ¡°You guys set up the formation. I¡¯ll stop him.¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s expression was cold. No matter what, he could not let Lin Mo escape today. Furthermore, he was extremely interested in the Kun Peng Wings and Kun Peng Claws that Lin Mo controlled. He wanted to obtain them. After all, this was the nest of the Kun Peng. If he cultivated the Kun Peng¡¯s arts, he might be able to find the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. At that time, the Gongsun family would receive a supreme inheritance that would shock the ancient and present. It was worth noting that the complete Kun Peng¡¯s art would be enough to shake the entire Northern Continent. ¡°Ah¡­¡± However, before Gongsun Wenhao could launch an attack on Lin Mo, a scream was heard from not far away. Behind him, Lin Mo was standing proudly, holding Gu Feng¡¯s corpse in one hand¡­ Chapter 604 - 604 Auctioning Incomplete Techniques 604 Auctioning Incomplete Techniques ¡°Gongsun Wenhao, farewell. I¡¯ll take this heaven-grade magic tool.¡± Lin Mo laughed heartily. Gongsun Wenhao had made a mistake. He had forgotten that Gu Feng was still present. Gu Feng could not set up a formation with the Black Death Sect, so he was naturally the easiest to break through. Although there were powerhouses from the Black Death Sect guarding the place he was at, Lin Mo could escape after killing Gu Feng. The Mountain River Painting was stored in the system space, and the system¡¯s voice slowly sounded. [Heaven-grade tier 1 magic tool, Mountain River Painting. It contains the universe and can hold mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. It can be activated with spiritual Qi and can kill everything.] The heaven-grade magic tool made Lin Mo¡¯s heart skip a beat just by looking at it. This magic tool could replace the Space-severing Divine Sword. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not hesitate. At this moment of life and death, Gongsun Wenhao was still hot on his heels. He made a prompt decision and threw out the Space-severing Divine Sword. Powerful spiritual Qi was brewing in it. The sword was full of cracks and was about to break. ¡°Boom!¡± The terrifying Sword Qi within the sword exploded, and Lin Mo blew up the Space-severing Divine Sword. Boundless Sword Qi exploded, and a large hole was torn open in the trapping formation that the Black Death Sect had just set up. Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately flew out. The Kun Peng Wings flapped, and the speed was so fast that no one could catch up. Lin Mo disappeared in the blink of an eye as soon as he broke free from the formation. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s furious roar came from behind. When he rushed out of the sword light, Lin Mo¡¯s aura had long disappeared. The World-changing Technique was cast, and Lin Mo¡¯s aura disappeared. He hid in the forest and disappeared. ¡°B*stard¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao was furious. He had lost two battle generals, whereas Lin Mo obtained a heaven-grade magic tool. ¡­ ¡°He escaped¡­ He¡¯s quite decisive¡­¡± On a distant mountain peak, Mu Yuzhu suddenly looked behind her. That was the place where Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao were fighting. ¡°Miss, Lin Mo escaped so quickly?¡± The maidservant did not understand. Previously, the young lady had said that if Lin Mo wanted to escape, he had to at least break the trapping formation set up by the Black Death Sect. Furthermore, he had to break it before the killing array was set up, or he would lose his life. ¡°He self-destructed the divine sword in his hand, broke the trapping formation, and escaped. He¡¯s very decisive. The next time they meet, he might not be afraid of being besieged¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled and left with her maidservant. Next, they would search for the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng in the vast mountains¡­ At this moment, in the depths of the Kun Peng Nest, there was a mountain area. The mountains were all spirit mountains. There were a lot of elixirs growing there, which were very precious. At the foot of a mountain, there was a spirit spring that nourished all living things. All kinds of elixirs grew around it. There were even a few earth-grade elixirs. This was a pure land that was blooming with divine light. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the spirit spring, silently absorbing the spirit stones that were piled around him. ¡°All that¡¯s left is the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. I wonder if there¡¯s any Zhu Yan in this mountain range¡­¡± After absorbing the spirit stones, Lin Mo sighed. After his battle with Gongsun Wenhao, he had discovered his shortcomings. It was his lack of foundation, whether it was magic tools or martial arts. The only things he could show off were the God Devouring Body and the cultivation technique it produced. ¡°I¡¯m lacking heaven-grade martial arts. Now, it¡¯s time to auction these off¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as four jade seals appeared in his hand. It had been a month since the last battle, and he had been cultivating in the forest. When he was free, he would also inscribe runes. After spending a month, he finally managed to inscribe ¡°Kun Peng Wings¡±, ¡°Qilin Step¡±, ¡°Cloud Piercing Four Spirits¡±, and ¡°True Phoenix Nirvana Technique¡±. He was going to auction them in the Kun Peng Nest. By then, the treasures he would receive would be extremely valuable. Although he would not directly obtain the complete inheritance of the four ancient divine beasts, he would still have 20-30% of them. ¡°But if these arts are spread, my identity will be exposed. I won¡¯t be able to sell them for a high price¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He could not create more hype and attract more people. Even so, he did not mind. As long as he could get spirit stones and treasures from the rebates, he was willing to sell them at a loss. Moreover, the rebates would be very high¡­ In this month, 90% of the people on Cloud Mist Island had entered the Kun Peng Nest. Firstly, it was because of the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. Secondly, they wanted to find Lin Mo. The Gongsun family had offered a sky-high reward, which made them very tempted. Of course, there were also people from other states who wanted to rope in Lin Mo. For example, Mu Yuzhu wanted Lin Mo to enter the Mu clan¡­ Lin Mo did not care about that. He hid in the dark and came to a smaller gathering place. The strongest person here was someone on the Prodigy Roll, ranked 89th. He posed no threat to Lin Mo. ¡°Friend, why don¡¯t you show your treasures if you¡¯re setting up a stall here?¡± Someone walked over and asked curiously when he saw that Lin Mo¡¯s stall did not have any treasures. ¡°Hehe, I just arrived. I have the inheritance of the Kun Peng and I plan to auction them now. Is anyone interested? ¡± Lin Mo laughed, and the words he said shocked everyone¡­ ¡°Fellow friend, you can eat whatever you want, but you can¡¯t say whatever you want. Do you really have the inheritance of the Kun Peng?¡± A young man walked over and looked at Lin Mo. This person was the strongest here. He was the genius ranked 89th on the Prodigy Roll. After hearing Lin Mo mention the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, he rushed over to take a look. ¡°You¡¯re the only one with some ability here. Help me pass on a message¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand to remove the disguise on his body, revealing his original aura and appearance. At the same time, golden wings spread out behind his back, and the huge Kun Peng Wings appeared. This caused a huge commotion. Lin Mo¡¯s identity was exposed, and the entire place exploded. Everyone in the vicinity swarmed over, and some even planned to attack Lin Mo. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll advise you not to seek death¡­¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly. The Gongsun family¡¯s bounty made Lin Mo feel very helpless. Trouble kept coming to his door, and it was extremely annoying. Soon, a piece of news spread and shook the entire Kun Peng Nest. ¡°Have you heard? Lin Mo has appeared in the Fallen Star Valley and is going to hold an auction.¡± ¡°What is he auctioning?¡± Someone asked out of curiosity. The person who spoke gulped and said, ¡°The Kun Peng Wings, the Qilin Steps, the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique, and the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. ¡°They¡¯re all incomplete techniques of ancient divine beasts. As for their powers, recall the battle between him and Gongsun Wenhao¡­¡± The news continued to spread, and people were shocked. At the same time, they questioned the accuracy of the news. Was Lin Mo not afraid of being hunted down by Gongsun Wenhao? ¡°It can¡¯t be fake. About seven days ago, Gongsun Wenhao entered a secret place that was suspected to contain the inheritance of the Kun Peng. He hasn¡¯t come out yet¡­¡± Upon hearing this, someone finally understood. No wonder Lin Mo dared to come out. This was the reason¡­ At the same time, in the depths of the Fallen Star Valley, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the gathering place where people came and went. Before this, he was worried that he could not hype the auction up, but in the end, he got the news that Gongsun Wenhao could not come. ¡°Even the heavens are helping me. It would be great if I could obtain the Zhu Yan Blood Essence as well¡­¡± Lin Mo said excitedly. Chapter 605 - 605 Exchange for the Zhu Yan Blood Essence 605 Exchange for the Zhu Yan Blood Essence ¡°A Ruler entered. He¡¯s from the Gongsun family. He might be coming for you.¡± Lin Mo was still excited when a crisp and melodious female voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw Mu Yuzhu with her maidservant, who was looking at Lin Mo curiously. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in thanks. He did not expect Mu Yuzhu to know so much, even though she was not from Cloud State. ¡°Also, if you lack cultivation resources, I can provide them for you,¡± Mu Yuzhu continued. She wanted to win Lin Mo over and try to bring him back to the clan. This way, the Mu clan would have another top powerhouse in the future. ¡°Don¡¯t reject it yet. You know how many resources the God Devouring Body needs. You can¡¯t get everything by yourself. ¡°For you, the best choice is to join a force. Stubbornly pursuing so-called freedom will only waste your talent.¡± Mu Yuzhu wanted to continue but was interrupted by Lin Mo. ¡°I appreciate your kind intentions, but please allow me to refuse your offer.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Joining a force? He had indeed joined one. It was just a pity that the Bai clan was in the Southern Continent¡­ Perhaps if they knew that he was in the Northern Continent, they would come to pick him up, but they obviously did not. ¡°Why?¡± Mu Yuzhu did not understand. She had stated the pros and cons, but Lin Mo still rejected her¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not a real rogue cultivator. I¡¯m just a temporary one. I can¡¯t tell you the specific reason¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He had no choice but to tell her in such a vague way. He had no choice but to reject Mu Yuzhu¡¯s offer to rope him in. ¡°I see¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu fell silent, feeling a little disappointed. Nonetheless, she quickly raised her head and said, ¡°In that case, I wish you good luck.¡± After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave. Since she could not win Lin Mo over, she did not need to risk offending the Gongsun family to help Lin Mo. ¡°Miss Mu, please wait a moment,¡± Lin Mo suddenly said. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mu Yuzhu stopped in her tracks. ¡°I want to ask if you have the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. If you do, I¡¯m willing to exchange it with a heaven-grade divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo was nervous. The Zhu Yan Blood Essence was the most important part of the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art. If even Mu Yuzhu did not have one, then it would be difficult for him¡­ ¡°Zhu Yan Blood Essence?¡± Mu Yuzhu was taken aback. She looked at Lin Mo, then turned her gaze to her maidservant. Seeing this, the latter stepped forward and carefully sized up Lin Mo. ¡°May I know how to address you?¡± Lin Mo said as he cupped his fists. ¡®Does she have the Zhu Yan Blood Essence?¡¯ ¡°My name is Su Qing. I¡¯m the young lady¡¯s maidservant. I do have the Zhu Yan Blood Essence.¡± The maidservant smiled slightly. The Zhu Yan Blood Essence was very precious in the market and was the best body-tempering treasure. Generally speaking, only the major forces with a rich foundation would have an inventory of that item, and only the core disciples would use them. Lin Mo was rather surprised that a maidservant like Su Qing could obtain it. On second thought, did Mu Yuzhu not travel from Bamboo State to Cloud State just to help Su Qing fight for the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡¯s jade seal¡­? ¡°Miss Su Qing, are you willing to trade? I have a Golden Divine Fruit here. It¡¯s a heaven-grade tier 1 fruit. I¡¯ll exchange it with you.¡± Lin Mo took out the golden fruit, and the place was instantly filled with fragrance. He had quite a lot of divine medicines on him, so he did not mind exchanging a divine fruit for what he wanted. ¡°I don¡¯t want the divine fruit. I want your jade seal.¡± Su Qing smiled as she took a fancy to the jade seal that Lin Mo used to enter the ancient battlefield. ¡°Although you¡¯ll be at a loss in this deal, I only want that. I don¡¯t care much about the divine fruit.¡± The Hidden Dragon Pavilion had stated that no matter who held the jade seal, as long as they fulfilled the conditions of entering the ancient battlefield, it would not be taken back. Lin Mo was qualified to be listed on the Hidden Dragon Rank, so he would be able to get a jade seal. Though, having one more was equivalent to one more chance to live, and it was more precious than the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s exchange.¡± To Mu Yuzhu and Su Qing¡¯s surprise, Lin Mo took back the Golden Divine Fruit and took out his jade seal instead, agreeing to the exchange. ¡°You¡¯re agreeing just like that?¡± Su Qing was taken aback. She thought that she had not explained clearly, so she repeated herself. ¡°You have to think carefully. You have two chances to live, and yet you want to give one away for this exchange?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure. Just give me the Zhu Yan Blood Essence.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand nonchalantly. In fact, he was confident that he would not die even once on the ancient battlefield. It did not matter if he gave up one of the chances. ¡°Deal. You can¡¯t go back on your word.¡± Su Qing quickly took out a palm-sized jade bottle. The Zhu Yan Blood Essence was sealed inside, and there were specks of silver light in the scarlet blood. Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction when he saw the silver light. A silver luster meant that the Zhu Yan¡¯s bloodline was very pure. ¡°Many thanks, Brother Lin.¡± Mu Yuzhu looked at the jade seal in the maid¡¯s hand and thanked Lin Mo. She had achieved her goal of coming to Cloud State. Even if she did not get the inheritance of the Kun Peng, it did not matter. ¡°We¡¯re just holding onto what we need.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. He was extremely excited. There was a lot of Zhu Yan Blood Essence in this bottle, and he would not be able to use it all. He estimated that half of the Zhu Yan Blood Essence would be enough for him to complete one move of the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art. ¡°I hope I¡¯ll have the chance to obtain the second move¡­¡± He sighed internally. There was not much time left. He should hold the auction¡­ According to Mu Yuzhu¡¯s information, the few elders from the Gongsun family had some fate with him and had obtained his cultivation techniques. Even so, he did not think that those people would show mercy. Time waited for no one. He came to the trading area without hiding his appearance and caused a commotion the moment he arrived. ¡°Lin Mo is finally here. Is he really going to auction off the martial arts he has?¡± The people were extremely excited. The incomplete techniques of ancient divine beasts were all comparable to heaven-grade, and they were very tempting to them. ¡°Everyone, as you wish, I¡¯ll auction off the martial arts in my hands. I¡¯ll sell them no matter the price.¡± Lin Mo stood on the stage, and the people below the stage were instantly excited. In fact, this was the purpose of their visit. Now that Lin Mo was finally going to start the auction, they could not wait any longer. ¡°Let¡¯s cut to the chase and start the auction. There are a total of five treasures in this auction¡­:¡± Since it was not a proper auction, Lin Mo did not waste any time on formalities, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand. ¡°The first item is the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. It has a pure bloodline and is a body-tempering treasure. This is an opportunity that can¡¯t be missed.¡± When Lin Mo¡¯s words spread, many people were disappointed to hear that it was not a martial art. That said, when he heard that it was the Zhu Yan Blood Essence, they were overjoyed. This body-refining treasure could only be used by the core disciples of the big sects. They did not expect Lin Mo, a rogue cultivator, to be able to get his hands on it, much less put it up for auction¡­ ¡°Miss, what is he doing?¡± Below the stage, in a corner, Su Qing was looking at Lin Mo in disbelief. He was auctioning the Zhu Yan Blood Essence that he exchanged with a jade seal just like that? Did he not know how precious the Zhu Yan Blood Essence was? ¡°It¡¯s half gone. There¡¯s no need to make a fuss about this,¡± Mu Yuzhu said directly. However, she was curious as to why Lin Mo only needed half of the Zhu Yan Blood Essence to temper his body. Chapter 606 - 606 The Scorching Vermilion Bird Body 606 The Scorching Vermilion Bird Body ¡°Even so, it can¡¯t be auctioned. The Zhu Yan Blood Essence can be found but not sought. It¡¯s a treasure that has a price but no market.¡± Su Qing was puzzled. Was Lin Mo lacking in cultivation resources that much? If that was the case, why was he still unwilling to accept the young lady¡¯s invitation? ¡°Seriously, what¡¯s wrong with the Mu clan? He even found an excuse to reject us¡­¡± Su Qing was very displeased. He thought that Lin Mo¡¯s words were definitely an excuse. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll just watch. If the price is right, we¡¯ll buy it back.¡± Mu Yuzhu did not mind. They watched the auction with anticipation. ¡°The starting price of the Zhu Yan Blood Essence is 20 million high-grade spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than 1 million.¡± Lin Mo used his spiritual Qi to spread his voice, and many people below were tempted. Quite a few people were bidding, more than a hundred of them. ¡°22 million.¡± ¡°23 million.¡± ¡°25 million and five hundred thousand.¡± As the price rose, the crowd gradually calmed down. With so many people fighting for the Zhu Yan Blood Essence, was it going to be auctioned for a sky-high price? ¡°27 million¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction as he heard the continuous bids. This was not the price of the Zhu Yan Blood Essence, but there were still more than a dozen people bidding. In less than three minutes, there were still five people bidding, and the price had been raised to 35 million. ¡°40 million. Do you still want to compete with me?¡± A young man said angrily. He immediately raised the price by 5 million, shocking everyone. ¡°That¡¯s the young master of the Green Dragon Clan. I didn¡¯t expect him to be here. He¡¯s on the Prodigy Roll.¡± People were whispering to each other. This young master of the Green Dragon Clan was ranked 20th on the Prodigy Roll and was not someone to be trifled with. He was a bloodthirsty person. They were sure that if it were not for Lin Mo¡¯s extraordinary combat strength, which was comparable to Gongsun Wenhao, the young master of the Green Dragon Clan would have definitely tried to snatch the auction item. ¡°40 million, going once¡­ ¡°40 million, going twice. Is there no one willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo asked unhurriedly. 40 million was enough to buy a divine medicine¡ªone that was a half-step heaven-grade. It was suitable for this half-missing Zhu Yan Blood Essence to be auctioned at this price. Of course, under normal circumstances, even if one had so many spirit stones, no one would sell you the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. After all, this was a body-refining treasure. Anyone who obtained it would keep it for their own use or use it to exchange for more precious treasures. ¡°40 million, going thrice, deal!¡± Seeing that no one else was bidding, Lin Mo immediately announced the results of the auction. The young master of the Green Dragon Clan smiled when he saw that he had successfully won the Zhu Yan Blood Essence. As he looked around, his eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at the few people who had bid against him. ¡°The deal is made on the spot. Fellow friend, please pay the spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo said and asked the young master of the Green Dragon Clan to take out the spirit stones to complete the transaction. ¡°Hmph, I won¡¯t go back on my word.¡± 40 million high-grade spirit stones were given to Lin Mo. He held the heavy beast skin belt and smiled. This was a huge sum, and the auction price would be even higher later. It seemed that he would be able to obtain quite a lot of resources this time. It would be enough for him to break through¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Red-striped Zhu Yan Blood Essence.] [Successfully triggered a 5,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining the Silver-striped Zhu Yan Blood Essence.] The system¡¯s notification came. Lin Mo was given the Silver-striped Zhu Yan Blood Essence after a 5,000 times rebate. After reading the system¡¯s introduction, he finally understood the bloodline division of the Zhu Yan Clan. The blood of a newborn Zhu Yan was red, which was also known as the red-striped bloodline. The best among them had a chance to evolve their bloodline to the silver stripe, and their talent and aptitude would also be improved. As for the more powerful Zhu Yans, they could directly advance from the red to the gold stripe. That was the top bloodline of the Zhu Yan Clan. That said, this kind of bloodline was rare even in the Zhu Yan Clan, and only one would appear every tens of thousands of years. It would be a one-in-ten-thousand genius and the hope of the Zhu Yan Clan. ¡°The Silver-striped Zhu Yan Blood Essence. According to the introduction of the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art, this is the blood essence that is needed for the second move¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. It was a pity that he did not have the rune for the second move, nor did he have the list of materials. ¡°Let¡¯s see how lucky I am.¡± Sighing, Lin Mo took out a jade seal under everyone¡¯s expectant gaze. It contained scorching energy, and a vermilion bird appeared above it. ¡°This is one of the martial arts I¡¯ve cultivated. It¡¯s Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, an incomplete art from the ancient divine beast, the vermilion bird. ¡°You¡¯ll be able to control the divine flames of the vermilion bird after learning it. Its power is comparable to Dao flames, and it consumes very little energy. Moreover, it can also enhance your control over the Dao laws of fire.¡± Lin Mo introduced the jade seal as he looked at it. In the past, he had been too weak to inscribe runes even if he wanted to auction it off. Now that he could finally sell it he was looking forward to the divine art of the vermilion bird that he would receive from the rebate¡­ ¡°The starting price is 30 million. Each bid must be no less than one million.¡± Under everyone¡¯s expectant gaze, Lin Mo announced the starting bid, which was 30 million high-grade spirit stones. Nearly half of the people present shut their mouths. They were drooling at the jade seal on the stage. Nevertheless, they also knew that they would not be able to obtain it. This was because Lin Mo was very powerful. He also controlled the Kun Peng Wings and the extreme speed of the Kun Peng. It was impossible to snatch it by force, and it would also anger the public. As for the normal auction, they could not help but sigh when they saw the few people standing at the front of the stage. Could other people even obtain it? There were more than ten people in the top hundred on the Prodigy Roll present. They were all famous geniuses, and now that they met, none of them was convinced by the other¡­ ¡°32 million.¡± ¡°33 million.¡± Unlike the Zhu Yan Blood Essence, there were very few people bidding for the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, only three. Lin Mo looked over and saw that the three of them were all young men, geniuses on the Prodigy roll. One of them exuded a powerful aura, so he had to be careful. ¡°That person is ranked 13th on the Prodigy Roll. Zong Xuan, the young sect master of the Heavenly Fire Sect.¡± It was said that when he was just born, a strange phenomenon descended from the heavens, and endless flames erupted. Within the Heavenly Fire Sect territory, countless volcanoes erupted, and all sorts of runes appeared and gathered on his body. He was still a child, but he was destined to have an extraordinary future. ¡°It¡¯s said that he¡¯s been searching for the vermilion bird¡¯s divine arts. He¡¯ll likely win the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits.¡± Lin Mo guessed in his heart, and the truth was as such. The three of them raised the price to 50 million, causing countless people to be jealous. The final price was 58 million. Zong Xuan became the winner and obtained the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits. ¡°How generous! I have 100 million high-grade spirit stones now.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. If he devoured all of them, it would be enough for him to advance to the ninth step. When combined with the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art, he would be able to reach the peak of tier 1 Immortal Foundation, reaching its completion¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning Cloud Piercing Four Spirits, the incomplete Vermillion Bird Art. It was a heaven-grade tier 1 art.] [Successfully triggered an 8,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining the Scorching Vermilion Bird Body, the ancient vermillion bird¡¯s incomplete art.] Chapter 607 - 607 Soul Devouring Bag 607 Soul Devouring Bag The Scorching Vermilion Bird Body did not have a grade, so Lin Mo could not determine its exact strength. Nonetheless, there was no other way. After all, the rebate was still an incomplete art. If Lin Mo wanted to know the specific grade of the art, he would have to wait until he finished cultivating it to make his own judgment. ¡°The next martial art is the ancient Qilin¡¯s incomplete art, the Qilin Step. ¡°You must¡¯ve heard of the legend of the Qilin. There are nine steps in total, and my martial art has recorded the first four steps. Although it¡¯s not much, it¡¯s powerful enough. It¡¯s of heaven-grade tier 2. ¡°The starting price is 50 million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than one million.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. His strongest attack was the Qilin Step. It could be said to be his trump card. If it were not for the fact that he needed a more powerful art, he would not auction it off so easily. After all, this was an incomplete technique of an ancient divine beast. Selling it was equivalent to having one more person know about this technique¡­ ¡°50 million? That¡¯s too expensive¡­¡± Some people frowned. This was still not comparable to normal heaven-grade cultivation methods and martial arts, but this was an incomplete art, after all, and the conditions to learn it were very harsh. It was useless for ordinary people to obtain it. ¡°55 million.¡± A bell-like laughter was heard, and the silence in the field disappeared in an instant. The people looked at a stone platform in the distance in surprise. Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant were sitting there, watching the auction below with interest. They were also interested in the Qilin Step. Although an ancient divine beast¡¯s incomplete art was not enough for them to go through great trouble, it was enough to make them tempted. ¡°56 million.¡± ¡°58 million.¡± Mu Yuzhu was the first to make a bid, and this made many people feel a sense of crisis. They all started to bid. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Qilin Step had been raised to 65 million. From the looks of it, the price was still rising. Four other people were bidding. They were Mu Yuzhu, Zong Xuan, who had just successfully won the auction, the young master of the Green Dragon Clan, and an elder in a cloak. The elder¡¯s voice was old, but he did not look tired. He exuded a powerful aura that made ordinary people afraid to approach him. ¡°75 million. That¡¯s almost the price of a regular heaven-grade martial art. Do you still want to fight for it?¡± The elders said, his eyes under the bamboo hat coldly scanning the surroundings. This included Mu Yuzhu and even Lin Mo, who was on the stage. A cold killing intent reverberated in Lin Mo¡¯s heart, and he could not help but frown. He was just auctioning the art normally. Why did this elder want to kill him¡­? Nonetheless, his deterrence was still very effective. At least, the young master of the Green Dragon Clan and Zong Xuan were no longer bidding. On the other side, Mu Yuzhu looked at the elder with a faint smile and also chose not to bid anymore. This shocked everyone as they looked at the elder. Just what kind of identity did he have that could make Mu Yuzhu, who was on the Hidden Dragon Rank, back down? The young master of the Green Dragon Clan and Zong Xuan of the Heavenly Fire Sect had to give in. After all, although they were strong, they could only be respected in Cloud State. In the entire Northern Continent, they were not even in the top 3,000 powerhouses. On the other hand, Mu Yuzhu was ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Rank. One could imagine how strong her combat power was. Even so, she chose to retreat today¡­ ¡°Since no one is bidding for it anymore, the Qilin Step will belong to this friend.¡± Lin Mo did not care about that. As long as they did not go back on their word, he did not have any objections to whoever bid for the arts. With that thought, he threw out the scroll, and the old man also threw out a pouch of high-grade spirit stones. Lin Mo did a rough count. There were enough of them, so he was not suspicious. [Soul Devouring Bag. Its appearance and aura are the same as a Spatial Bag, but it has the unique power of the Yin spirit.] [Carrying it for a long time will cause one¡¯s origin to be eroded by the power of the Yin spirit. The treasures contained inside can¡¯t be easily absorbed and will be tainted with a special curse.] As soon as Lin Mo stored the bag of high-grade spirit stones into the system space, the system¡¯s voice was heard, which gave him a shock. ¡®What¡¯s the grade of this Soul Devouring Bag? The system didn¡¯t mark it.¡¯ However, its effects surprised Lin Mo. It had a unique Yin spirit power on it, and the treasures and spirit stones it carried could not be used as they would be bound by the curse¡­ ¡°So ruthless. You¡¯re planning to kill and rob me. Fine, you started it first. Don¡¯t blame me.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. If it were not for the fact that the martial arts were not sold out yet, he would have attacked the elder right away. ¡°The next auction item is an incomplete art of the ancient true phoenix, the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique. ¡°This is an art used when a true phoenix is reborn from the ashes. It can be used to re-cultivate one¡¯s realm and achieve the effect of being reborn. ¡°Long-term cultivation can also make one¡¯s comprehension and talent stronger.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar. They did not expect him to have such a precious martial art. After hearing Lin Mo¡¯s introduction, the elder from before suddenly turned around. He was prepared to leave, but who would have thought that Lin Mo would take out such a precious martial art? An art that allowed one to re-cultivate was very precious. As long as there were enough resources, even a mediocre person could be turned into a top genius. It would be effortless to get onto the Prodigy Roll, and one might even be able to make it to the top thirty¡­ ¡°He really did hide some good stuff. I¡¯ll buy it. As for the last art, it¡¯ll probably be the Kun Peng Wings or the Kung Peng Claws. The competition will be too intense. I¡¯ll give those up.¡± On the stone platform, Mu Yuzhu nodded her head in satisfaction. She had decisively given up on the Qilin Step. It lived up to her expectations. She had no lack of offensive techniques, and the martial arts she had mastered far exceeded Lin Mo¡¯s incomplete arts. Therefore, she still needed more supplementary techniques like the Kun Peng wings and the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique. ¡°The starting price of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique, the incomplete spell of the true phoenix, is 50 million.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo announced the starting bid, which was the same as the Qilin Step. This was enough to prove its value. ¡°70 million.¡± Before the crowd had the chance to call out their bids, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s light voice was heard. She increased the bid by 20 million in one go. This bid also made Zong Xuan and the young master of the Green Dragon Clan shut up. The two of them thought for a moment and chose to back down. There was one last martial art left. According to Lin Mo, it would be an incomplete art of the Kun Peng. This was the Kun Peng Nest. Even if it was an incomplete version of the Kun Peng¡¯s art, it was still enough to attract people to fight over it. ¡°Miss Mu has bid 70 million. Is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Mu Yuzhu was bold enough to raise the bid by 20 million in one go, but the effect was pretty good. Everyone was stunned, including the elder from before. He only watched the auction with cold eyes. ¡°Since no one else is bidding, then the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique will belong to Miss Mu.¡± Seeing that no one else was speaking, Lin Mo did not hesitate and immediately announced the result of the auction. He handed the art to Mu Yuzhu. ¡°Brother Lin, that person was up to no good. Check the spirit stones before absorbing them.¡± While Mu Yuzhu was trading with Lin Mo, her red lips parted slightly, and a soft voice was transmitted into Lin Mo¡¯s ears. Intentionally or otherwise, Mu Yuzhu glanced at the elder who had bid earlier¡­ Chapter 608 - 608 Special System Mission 608 Special System Mission ¡®Mu Yuzhu also noticed it? When?¡¯ Lin Mo was shocked. Did Mu Yuzhu see through the Soul Devouring Bag, or perhaps she only saw some clues? ¡°As expected of the 9th ranked in the Hidden Dragon Rank. Luckily, we didn¡¯t become enemies¡­¡± As Lin Mo sighed, he was also relieved. Perhaps Mu Yuzhu still had not given up on trying to win him over, so she probably would not make an enemy of him. Unless the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng appeared, then this superficial friendship would probably be shattered. ¡®I hope she won¡¯t hold a grudge.¡¯ Lin Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it. At the same time, the system notification was heard. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning a heaven-grade tier 1 True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.] [Successfully triggered a 9,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a tier 2 True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.] The rebate did not give him any offensive martial arts, but the continuation of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique. ¡°This is a surprise.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. Nonetheless, he suddenly thought of something and could not help but feel a little confused. ¡°Why didn¡¯t the rebate for the Qilin Step appear?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Could the system have forgotten? That would not do. The Qilin Step was his most powerful killing move. He was still hoping for the next few moves after the rebate, but the system did not give it. [The auction for the Qilin Step hasn¡¯t been completed. The high-grade spirit stones that you received are defective. You¡¯ve received a special mission.] [Kill Te Mu, the unscrupulous buyer, a Ruler in the first step. If you succeed in killing him, you¡¯ll be rewarded with the complete version of the Qilin Step.] The system¡¯s notification was heard once more. Lin Mo was shocked by it and also the elder¡¯s strength. He was not a match for a Ruler. Although his combat power was very strong at the moment, it was still a bit difficult for him to fight someone who was two realms above him. Moreover, that person whose name was Te Mu was a Ruler, so there was definitely something special about him. ¡°The last auction item is also what everyone is most concerned about. It¡¯s an incomplete art of the ancient divine beast, the Kun Peng. It¡¯s the Kun Peng Wings. ¡°I won¡¯t go into detail about the Kun Peng Wings. Everyone knows its effects. ¡°Let¡¯s cut to the chase. The starting price is 60 million high-grade spirit stones. The highest bidder will get it.¡± Everyone¡¯s hearts started to race. Could they find the inheritance of the Kun Peng with the help of this art? Their breathing was a little heavy. If it was not for the fact that they still had some rationality left, they would have made a move to snatch it. ¡°I didn¡¯t think that a little rascal like you would have so many treasures on you. You¡¯ve truly surprised me.¡± While everyone was bidding, a few figures were rapidly flickering on the distant horizon. They arrived in a few breaths. ¡°It¡¯s the Black Death Sect.¡± Someone was shocked. Were the Black Death Sect and the Gongsun clan not exploring a secret place? Was there an outcome already? ¡°Eh? Gongsun Wenhao didn¡¯t come. Only the people from the Black Death Sect came, and not all of them.¡± Soon, people realized that the secret land that the Gongsun clan was exploring had not been fully exploited. They had no time to come over. Nevertheless, they did not want to miss the opportunity of Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, so they sent a few people over. There were three of them, and each of them was a half-step Ruler. They had intended to take Lin Mo down by force and snatch the Kun Peng Wings that were being auctioned off. The three of them attacked. They formed an Inescapable Net with their spiritual Qi. It descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed and enveloped Lin Mo. Once the three half-step Rulers trapped Lin Mo, he would not be able to escape. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not sit still and wait for death. He took out the Mountain River Painting to counterattack. ¡°Bang!¡± The next moment, a muffled sound exploded in the air. The Inescapable Net was instantly broken, and a wave of spiritual Qi as vast as the sea spread, helping Lin Mo resolve the crisis. At the same time, it also forced the three half-step Rulers back. They took a dozen steps back in the air before they could stabilize themselves. ¡°Mu Yuzhu, what¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± The three of them shouted angrily as they stared at the stone platform. Mu Yuzhu had stood up, her eyes slightly narrowed. She was the one who had made the move. Otherwise, even if Lin Mo had not been captured, it would have been extremely difficult for him to break free. ¡°I also want to ask what you mean. Right now, we¡¯re participating in an auction. The final item is about to be auctioned, and yet you¡¯re here to cause trouble. ¡°Do you people from the Black Death Sect think that I can¡¯t do anything to you just because you¡¯re with the Gongsun family?¡± Mu Yuzhu sneered as she stood on the stone platform. Although she was a half-step Almighty at the peak of the ninth step, she was still a powerful being. The power and pressure she gave off made the three half-step Rulers tremble. ¡®What kind of terrifying combat power and cultivation base is this? Is this a prodigy who¡¯s ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Rank? ¡®If she really has the intention to kill, none of us would be able to escape today¡­¡¯ ¡°What an arrogant tone. You¡­¡± One of the three Rulers said in dissatisfaction. This was Cloud State, not Bamboo State. He did not expect Mu Yuzhu to still have such a high profile. ¡°What powerful strength. She could¡¯ve broken through to the second step a year or two ago and become an Almighty powerhouse. ¡°For the sake of the ancient battlefield of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, she chose to suppress her powers¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s attack had secretly broadened Lin Mo¡¯s horizons. Such power was much stronger than Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s. ¡°Perhaps I can ask Mu Yuzhu for help with the mission of killing Te Mu¡­¡± The price Lin Mo had to pay to get her to help would be a little high, but it should be within his acceptable range. Moreover, if they killed Te Mu, Mu Yuzhu would also get some extra rewards, so she probably would not reject it¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you to finish the auction.¡± The three people from the Black Death Sect did not dare to go too far. Otherwise, they would not be able to take the public¡¯s anger, not to mention that Mu Yuzhu was also eyeing them like a tiger watching its prey. ¡°The Black Death Sect bids 80 million. There shouldn¡¯t be any restrictions for this auction, right?¡± Although they had chosen not to make a move, they could still bid. Once the auction was over, they could kill Lin Mo and would not have to pay the spirit stones. ¡°81 million.¡± Mu Yuzhu said softly and increased the price by one million as if she wanted to compete for the Kun Peng Wings. ¡°You¡­¡± The three men from Black Death Sect were shocked and furious, their eyes filled with unwillingness. Mu Yuzhu had her eyes on the Kun Peng Wings, so she probably would not give up now. ¡°Big Brother, the mission is more important. Let¡¯s capture Lin Mo first.¡± Seeing that one of them was about to rush out and reprimand Mu Yuzhu, the others quickly stopped him. They could not afford to offend Mu Yuzhu at this time. If they let her get what she wanted, she would just stand by and watch. ¡°85 million.¡± At this moment, another bid was heard. This surprised Lin Mo. It was the elder whose name was Te Mu. He started bidding again, and for a moment, he became the object of everyone¡¯s attention. First, he revealed killing intent toward Mu Yuzhu and took away the Qilin Step. It was not easy for him to fade out of sight, but now, he was being watched again. ¡°Does he have that many spirit stones?¡± Lin Mo was a little shocked. The elder was probably a rogue cultivator, but he was also the richest rogue cultivator he had ever seen. An ordinary rogue cultivator could not afford two heaven-grade martial arts¡­ Especially the Kun Peng Wings. Since they were in the Kun Peng Nest, once the art appeared, it would be the target of all. Anyone who got it would feel anxious. ¡°Since you want it, then I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Chapter 609 - 609 Mismatched Yin Yang 609 Mismatched Yin Yang To everyone¡¯s surprise, Mu Yuzhu did not make another bid. Instead, she chose to back down and sit on the ground, waiting to see what was going to happen next. ¡°85 million, going once. ¡°85 million, going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo called out two times in a row and looked at the three people from the Black Death Sect, wondering if they were willing to bid. Nonetheless, the three of them ignored Lin Mo¡¯s gaze. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not hesitate and said, ¡°85 million, going thrice. Deal. Customer, pay up. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be peaceful next. Please stay away¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words had a hidden meaning that only he could understand. Under the envious gazes of countless people, he completed the transaction with the elder. The spirit stones he received this time were normal. It seemed that he only had one high-grade magic tool like the Soul Devouring Bag. In that case, the elder would definitely come back to take it back, but it was hard to say when he would make a move. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning a heaven-grade tier 1 Kun Peng Wings.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining the Mismatched Yin Yang.] One of the most powerful killing weapons in the Kun Peng inheritance. It condensed Yin and Yang energies and used the two repulsive forces to collide. Once it exploded, it was hard to imagine what kind of damage it would cause¡­ ¡°Swish!¡± The moment the transaction was completed, the three people from Black Death Sect attacked at the same time. Their target was the same, and they attacked Lin Mo. They knew that he had the God Devouring Body and shocking combat power, so they only used martial arts. A terrifying energy fluctuation engulfed the entire place. Many people retreated, but they were still affected. They spat out blood and fled in a hurry. Of course, there were also some people who took advantage of the chaos and hid in the dark, wanting to fish in troubled waters. This was because they knew that Lin Mo had obtained over 200 million high-grade spirit stones from the auction. To an ordinary person, it was enough to cultivate to the peak of the Almighty realm. Unfortunately, Lin Mo had the God Devouring Body, and the spirit stones were only enough for him to cultivate from the sixth to the ninth step. This would also depend on the remaining spiritual Qi he had after the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art. The more Lin Mo cultivated the God Devouring Body, the more resources he needed. ¡°Miss Mu, I have a collaboration that I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯re interested in.¡± While fighting the three elders, Lin Mo took the time to send a voice transmission to Mu Yuzhu. At this moment, the latter was still sitting on the stone platform with her legs crossed. She did not have the slightest intention of making a move. Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s voice transmission, Mu Yuzhu opened her eyes and rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching him in the midst of his bitter battle. ¡°What is it? If you want my help, it won¡¯t happen unless you join the Mu clan.¡± Mu Yuzhu shook her head. Although the Black Death Sect was not considered a first-class force in Cloud State, they were still a subordinate of the Gongsun clan. She could not attack them without a good reason. She could not let the Mu clan and the Gongsun clan become enemies just to please Lin Mo. If Lin Mo had chosen to join the Mu clan, Mu Yuzhu would have had enough reason. Even if the Gongsun clan wanted to pursue the matter, they would not be in the right. At worst, Mu Yuzhu could just take Lin Mo and leave Cloud State. Bamboo State was also a big state in the Northern Continent, and their overall combat power could be ranked among the top five in the Northern Continent. It was enough for Lin Mo to gain experience. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to take action. The person who bought the Qilin Step and the Kun Peng Wings is called Te Mu. I know his whereabouts.¡± Lin Mo transmitted his voice. The temptation of the Kun Peng Wings was still huge, and Mu Yuzhu should be moved. ¡°Could it be that you did something to the auction items, Brother Lin? That¡¯s really damaging to your reputation.¡± Mu Yuzhu frowned. She extended her soul power and carefully examined the jade bracelet on her wrist. He checked the scroll over and over again but did not find any spiritual remains. ¡°Miss Mu, you must be joking. How could I be that kind of person?¡± Lin Mo smiled and continued, ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with the spirit stones that person gave me. It won¡¯t be long before he comes to find me.¡± ¡°I would like to ask you to help us kill this fiend. Then the Kun Peng Wings and the Qilin Step can both be yours.¡± ¡°I can find him myself,¡± Mu Yuzhu said with a smile. Although it would take a certain amount of time, it would still be very easy for her to find someone who was not much stronger than her. Unless the other party had a supreme treasure that could conceal all of his aura. Nevertheless, Mu Yuzhu did not believe that a rogue cultivator could have such a heaven-defying treasure. If he did, then she would have to accept her fate. ¡°I¡¯ll also give you a Golden Divine Fruit. This is the reward I can give you. If you agree, follow me. Remember to hide well and don¡¯t be discovered.¡± After saying what he needed to say, Lin Mo dodged the killing moves of the three people from the Black Death Sect again. At the same time, he condensed his spiritual Qi and killed a person who was planning to attack him secretly. Then, he spread his Kun Peng Wings. ¡°Oh no, he¡¯s trying to escape.¡± The three disciples of the Black Death Sect were shocked. Lin Mo had not used the Kun Peng Wings, which was why they could pursue him. Once the Kun Peng¡¯s maximum speed was used, they would be left behind by Lin Mo and would not be able to catch up. ¡°B*stard, he still has the Mountain River Painting¡­¡± The three men from Black Death Sect cursed angrily. In less than ten minutes, they had lost Lin Mo. Previously, their souls had been locked onto Lin Mo. Even so, his speed was getting faster and faster. In addition, the Mountain River Scroll was blocking the way, so the distance between them was pulled apart. This made the three men very indignant. They had injured Lin Mo. As long as it continued, they would definitely be able to capture Lin Mo, and then they could go back to report on their mission¡­ ¡°Will she agree?¡± Lin Mo frowned as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. One Golden Divine Fruit was the limit he could give. It was worth noting that the value of a divine fruit was unimaginable. If Lin Mo did not have the system, he would not have been able to obtain so many divine medicines and fruits. Offering one of them was the biggest compromise he could make. ¡°Forget it. Although it¡¯s troublesome to face the elder alone, it¡¯s not impossible to fight him.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He was in a sorry state. His clothes were torn, and there were many bloody wounds. His face was pale, and he looked like he was seriously injured. His combat power had been reduced. With the help of the three people from the Black Death Sect, he pretended to be injured and left in defeat, giving Te Mu an idea. If Lin Mo wanted to make a move, this was the best time. That said, if the elder was vigilant enough and unwilling to come out, then Lin Mo would be out of options. After all, Lin Mo did not have Mu Yuzhu¡¯s methods to drag a person out of the boundless mountains. Lin Mo slowed down and flew for another 500 kilometers before he finally stopped. The concentration of spiritual Qi here was very high. Lin Mo¡¯s body glowed, and his pale face was instantly filled with blood. He had looked injured just a moment ago, but now he was full of energy. Lin Mo also set up a defensive formation here and began to cultivate. He still had to deal with the spirit stones cursed by the Soul Devouring Bag. He could not absorb them rashly. However, this curse was nothing to the God Devouring Body. As long as the body sensed it, it could be found. Lin Mo did not pay any attention to the outside world and chose to clean up the cursed spirit stones in the formation. The God Devouring Body released a suction force that devoured all the spiritual Qi in it, leaving only a wisp of black smoke and some white ash. At the same time, 150 kilometers away from where Lin Mo was in seclusion, a black-robed figure was speeding toward him¡­ Chapter 610 - 610 Besieging and Killing Te Mu 610 Besieging and Killing Te Mu Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°He¡¯s here ¡­¡± In the formation, Lin Mo opened his eyes. It was easy for him to refine the power of the curse in the spirit stones. Once the God Devouring Body¡¯s devouring power was used, the curse completely disappeared. No matter how strong the curse was, it would be useless if it could not invade the body of a living being. Lin Mo put away the spirit stones and adjusted his breathing to prepare for the upcoming battle. Mu Yuzhu still had not arrived. It seemed that the condition he had offered was not enough to move her. ¡°It¡¯ll be a little troublesome if I¡¯m alone. I hope there¡¯s no time limit for the mission.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. In the next moment, the surrounding magic formation was broken, and the black-robed Te Mu arrived. Te Mu was alone, but when he saw that Lin Mo¡¯s face was ruddy and that he was not injured, he could not help but be shocked. ¡°You¡¯re fine?¡± Te Mu exclaimed. ¡°You¡¯re finally here. Trying to trick me with tampered spirit stones? Aren¡¯t you underestimating me?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. ¡°As expected of the God Devouring Body. Looks like I¡¯ll have to waste some more of my techniques.¡± Te Mu was not stingy with his praise. There was a hint of envy in his eyes. The God Devouring Body was such a heaven-defying physique. Why did he not have it? ¡°Whoosh!¡± The sound of flowing water could be heard as Lin Mo opened the Mountain River Scroll. Surging river water within it was released. A mountain appeared under the influence of spiritual Qi. Lin Mo sent a wisp of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame into it. In an instant, the mountain turned into a meteorite with a terrifying power that seemed to be able to crush mountains and rivers and annihilate everything. ¡°Petty tricks.¡± Te Mu sneered and raised his hand to take out a dark red saber. Under the power of the big saber, the meteorite instantly exploded, and some of the flames that escaped did not hurt him at all. ¡°Blood Saber Technique, Wild Saber Dance.¡± Te Mu bellowed, planning to end the battle quickly and kill Lin Mo as soon as possible. He was a Ruler, but he was not arrogant and even used martial arts. Lin Mo found it difficult to deal with him. ¡°Kun Peng Claws!¡± Lin Mo seized the opportunity and turned his claws into Kun Peng claws, grabbing the blood saber. The sharp blade cut Lin Mo¡¯s palm, sending sparks flying. In just a few breaths, Lin Mo¡¯s palm was bleeding. This was a half-step heaven-grade weapon. In the hands of a Ruler, it could display even more power. Lin Mo was caught in a bitter battle. He had underestimated the strength of a Ruler. Such a powerhouse was too powerful. This was not something he could deal with. The other party¡¯s martial arts were so overbearing that he could not block it even if he used the Qilin Step. ¡°I was too careless. When I escaped from the hands of the demonic beast Ruler in the past, I thought that other living beings would be similar¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. Although the demonic beasts in the mountain range were powerful, only those with powerful bloodlines could transform into human form or speak the human language, possessing extremely high intelligence. In the past, he had escaped from demonic beast Rulers many times and even snatched their elixirs, making him think he could deal with even normal Rulers. It seemed that he could not do that now. He lacked stronger attacking methods and needed more trump cards. ¡°If only I knew the Mismatched Yin Yang now.¡± Lin Mo sighed. The auction rebate of the Kun Peng Wings was the Kun Peng¡¯s powerful killing move. It was a pity that it was too profound, so he could not understand it in a short time. ¡°We can only retreat for now. We¡¯ll find another opportunity to deal with him.¡± After much thought, Lin Mo decided that he could not take the risk. Although wealth was obtained from danger, most of the time there would be more losses than gains. Even though the complete version of the Qilin Step was very tempting, Lin Mo had to act within his means. ¡°I¡¯ve remembered your aura. The next time we meet will be the day you die.¡± Lin Mo looked at Te Mu and put away the Mountain River Scroll. ¡°You want to leave?¡± Te Mu asked coldly. He would not let Lin Mo off so easily. Furthermore, his Soul-devouring Bag was still with Lin Mo. That was the key to his swindling journey, and he could not give up. ¡°Brother Lin, now you know how hard it is to kill a Ruler, right?¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to leave, a soft sigh was heard from the space. Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant, Su Qing, slowly walked out of a spatial passageway. Su Qing was holding a green jade formation board in her hand, which exuded a mysterious aura. ¡°Mu Yuzhu.¡± When Te Mu saw the two people who had appeared, he could not help but be shocked. ¡®Didn¡¯t they say that Mu Yuzhu and Lin Mo have no relationship? ¡®But why are they here? They even set up an ambush for me¡­¡¯ ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯t come ¡­¡± Seeing Mu Yuzhu arrive, Lin Mo finally heaved a sigh of relief. With this person joining him, killing Te Mu should not be a problem. ¡°Crack!¡± Not far away, when Te Mu saw Mu Yuzhu, he started to gather his strength. A talisman appeared in his hand, and he instantly crushed it. His figure also disappeared along with the fluctuations of the talisman, escaping into the void. ¡°Ah!¡± However, in the next moment, the formation board in Su Qing¡¯s hand lit up. The green light grew even more intense, and Te Mu, who had tried to escape into space, was devoured by the backlash. As soon as he left the dimension, he coughed out a mouthful of blood and looked at the formation board in Su Qing¡¯s hand with unwillingness. ¡°Mu Yuzhu, I have no enmity with you. Why are you doing this?¡± Te Mu was really a little scared. He had to go all out to suppress Lin Mo. If Mu Yuzhu, who was even more powerful, was involved, he would definitely die. ¡°I was just paid to do this.¡± Mu Yuzhu shook her head. Roadside robbery and such were common in this world. If one was not powerful enough, one might just turn from robbing to being robbed in an instant. Seeing that his communication was fruitless, Te Mu made up his mind and slashed his blood-red long saber toward Mu Yuzhu. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo also hurriedly made his move, temporarily joining forces with Mu Yuzhu to suppress Te Mu. The battle was very intense. Te Mu was indeed a Ruler. He was not afraid in the slightest when facing the attacks of two great prodigies. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side. Mu Yuzhu¡¯s trump card shocked Lin Mo. She had many talismans on her, and she even took out two heaven-grade magic tools. In addition to the costly formation board in Su Qing¡¯s hand, it was hard to imagine how terrifying the Mu family¡¯s foundation was¡­ In order to prevent Te Mu from retaliating before his death, Lin Mo and Mu Yuzhu were extremely cautious. The intense battle lasted for half an hour. Te Mu was extremely unwilling to give up. He wanted to self-destruct, but Lin Mo used the Kun Peng claws to tear his head apart, and his soul was destroyed. ¡°He was truly difficult to deal with¡­¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The half an hour of fighting had allowed him to truly experience the strength of such a powerhouse. ¡°This is the Golden Divine Fruit I promised you.¡± After taking out all the treasures on Te Mu¡¯s body, Lin Mo also took out a divine fruit that was as brilliant as the sun. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ll take these three. I look forward to our next cooperation.¡± Mu Yuzhu did not touch Te Mu¡¯s other treasures. Instead, she accepted the Golden Divine Fruit, the Kun Peng Wings, and the Qilin Step as Lin Mo had promised. However, they were also the most precious of all the treasures. This made Mu Yuzhu curious. What was Lin Mo¡¯s motive for killing Te Mu? Was he trying to hide something? As she thought of this, she looked at Lin Mo, but she could not tell anything from his expression¡­ [Congratulations on completing the mission. You received the auction rebate of the Qilin Step.] [Congratulations on obtaining the complete version of the Qilin Step.] Chapter 611 - 611 Meeting the White Qilin by chance 611 Meeting the White Qilin by chance Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The complete version of the Nine Qilin Steps could shatter heaven and earth once it was used. It was definitely a very powerful killing move. Lin Mo was overjoyed. This time, he could finally go into seclusion in peace. After this, he would be able to make his physical body break through the limits and rise again. Under the cultivation of a large number of spirit stones, his realm would also be comparable to Mu Yuzhu and the others. At that time, he could try to kill Gongsun Wenhao when he met him¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s part ways here. I¡¯m going to find a place to enter closed-door cultivation.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists at Mu Yuzhu, spread the Kun Peng Wings on his back, and quickly disappeared. After a long while, the maidservant Su Qing walked over. She had withdrawn the magic formation around her. ¡°Miss, why did he have to kill Te Mu? He gave you all the benefits. Did I misjudge him?¡± Su Qing asked, puzzled. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Perhaps we really misjudged him¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu looked in the direction that Lin Mo had left and smiled. She did not think too much about it and left with her maidservant, Su Qing. With the appearance of the Kun Peng nest, countless people swarmed over in search of the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. While people were frantically searching for it, Lin Mo was hiding in the boundless mountain range. He had opened up a cave and was preparing to cultivate in seclusion. He dug out a pond, poured spiritual spring water into it, and strengthened it with a formation. After that, all kinds of elixirs were added, and the lowest grade of them was earth-grade. In addition, there were many precious ores. ¡°This Zhu Yan Body Refining Art is indeed mysterious. It can combine the medicinal properties of so many medicinal herbs. I must obtain the last few moves,¡± Lin Mo said as he nodded. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time and had even considered the second stage of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique. In an instant, the pool turned golden. Red ginseng juice flowed out, and crystal jade glowed. In the end, Lin Mo took out two stalks of heaven-grade divine medicines. He had used up a large number of resources for this cultivation. The most perfect combination must be used. It could be said that his cultivation was very extravagant. Only the top families like the Gongsun family and the Mu family could have disciples who used those items. If Lin Mo did not have the auction system, he would have had to wait until the ancient battlefield opened before he could gather all these items¡­ When all the elixirs and ores were added, Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the pool. An extremely strong medicinal fragrance assailed his nose. ¡°And Zhu Yan Blood Essence.¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes and took out a jade bottle with a serious expression. It was half-filled with Zhu Yan Blood Essence. This was enough. He was not a member of the Zhu Yan clan, so he did not need much. When the blood essence was added, the entire medicinal pool turned blood-red. Even so, there was no smell of blood. Zhu Yan was also a natural-born beast. Although it was fierce, its blood was extremely pure. The God Devouring Body¡¯s physical body was extremely strong. If Lin Mo wanted to improve it further, he would have to increase his realm. When he broke through, his God Devouring Body would start to refine his body. Everything would go on naturally. Lin Mo calmed down and silently circulated the runes recorded in the Body Refining Art. He sat cross-legged in the medicinal pool and absorbed the essence of the pool. The cave was filled with hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones. Not only was Lin Mo tempering his body, but he was also cultivating and circulating the Soul Devouring Art in an attempt to break through. At the same time, he also felt that his body was undergoing changes and was gradually becoming stronger. Lin Mo was shocked to see such an effect when he had just started cultivating. The True Phoenix Nirvana Technique was also in operation. Lin Mo was making his cultivation level undergo Nirvana to become even stronger. Time passed day by day, and the medicinal properties in the medicinal pool gradually weakened. The spirit stones in the cave were all turned into ashes, and the spiritual Qi inside was completely absorbed. Half a month later, Lin Mo slowly woke up. His eyes were like lightning. The walls of the cave around him could not withstand the aura, and cracks appeared. Lin Mo stood up from the medicinal pool, washed his body with clean water, and put on his clothes. At this moment, he only felt a burst of relief. His body was glowing, and his physical body had reached its limit. After half a month of absorbing the medicinal properties and refining them, he had reached the peak of this realm. His physical body was truly invincible. Not only that, but his cultivation base had also reached the ninth step of tier 1 Immortal Foundation. With the power of a half-step Almighty powerhouse at the peak, he would not be at a disadvantage if he met Gongsun Wenhao again. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique could not allow me to advance a step further in this realm.¡± Lin Mo sighed. The second stage of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique was tailored for Rulers, and his realm was not high enough. However, this is normal. If one could become stronger continuously through Nirvana, then the true phoenix, the Vermilion Bird, and other divine beasts that could control Nirvana Techniques would be invincible¡­ This was impossible. Even Lin Die, a Colorful Fire Demon, could only transform nine times in her life. The nine transformations allowed her to become a true expert. ¡°If I ask for Lil¡¯ Die¡¯s Nirvana Technique, can I also experience the nine transformations?¡± Lin Mo suddenly thought of something. Nonetheless, as long as one could endure it, one would be able to obtain endless benefits. This was Lin Die¡¯s innate ability. Lin Mo did not know if it could be replicated or not. ¡°After experiencing life and death and constantly transforming, perhaps one day, I¡¯ll become a true supreme powerhouse. Lin Mo seemed to have caught onto something. This was a path that he could try to take in the future. His eyes flickered, and he had an idea. Despite that, he quickly calmed down. It was too easy for problems to arise by doing so, and it would be easy for his foundation to be destroyed. ¡°I can¡¯t be rash. I should stabilize my cultivation first and look for opportunities in the Kun Peng Nest.¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. When he saw Lil¡¯ Die in the future, he would ask her for runes. Even if he could not cultivate, he would at least try to understand a thing or two. Then, he sat down cross-legged and took out some spirit stones to cultivate. Another day passed, and Lin Mo opened his eyes. At this time, his aura was stable, and there were no signs of fluctuations. ¡°It¡¯s time for me to come out. There are many treasures in the Kun Peng Nest, I can¡¯t miss out on these opportunities.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This was the Kun Peng Nest, and it had been made public for so long. He wondered how many Rulers had entered. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s someone nearby.¡± Lin Mo had just left the place of his seclusion and had not walked far when he sensed that there was someone nearby. He slowly approached and sensed an extremely powerful aura from the other party. Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. He quietly fumbled over and saw a snow-white¡­ Qilin! ¡°How is this possible¡­?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was beating wildly. This was the White Qilin, an ancient mythical beast. Its entire body was as white as jade, and its scales were shining. Its big round eyes flickered with a purple light, and it was lying on a large rock at the moment, leisurely basking in the sun¡­ ¡°Aren¡¯t ancient divine beasts already extinct¡­?¡± Just as Lin Mo was about to continue approaching, the White Qilin suddenly became alert and stood up to stare at him. Runes flickered in its purple eyes, and Qilin patterns appeared on his back. ¡°Wait, it¡¯s a misunderstanding,¡± Lin Mo said as he waved his hand. ¡°Boom!¡± The space fluctuated, and Lin Mo¡¯s body was almost pierced by a Qilin rune. The terrifying power made his heart palpitate. He quickly used the Kun Peng Wings to move far away. Chapter 612 - 612 Ancient Qilin Tree 612 Ancient Qilin Tree Nonetheless, the White Qilin did not give up. Purple light bloomed under its feet, and Qilin Runes gathered as it stomped toward Lin Mo. Lin Mo was very familiar with this move. It was the Qilin Step. What made him feel troubled was that this Qilin had taken nine steps. The Qilin took nine steps. When it took its ninth step, the space collapsed. Lin Mo felt as if his throat was being strangled by a pair of large hands. This White Qilin was too powerful. Furthermore, the moves that it used were able to suppress him, making him feel strained. ¡°Abyssal Devouring.¡± Lin Mo had no choice but to use his God Devouring Body. The black hole expanded, and the terrifying pressure suddenly disappeared. The moment the Qilin Runes touched the black hole, they were devoured. Lin Mo crossed his arms and blocked the White Qilin¡¯s ninth step. ¡°Boom!¡± A terrifying explosion spread out, and the mountains within a radius of 50 kilometers collapsed. The birds and beasts were scattered. ¡°God Devourer Body, so it¡¯s you.¡± The White Qilin stopped its attack and spoke for the first time after a while. The voice was crisp and a little playful. It carried a hint of surprise. Lin Mo was a little confused. He looked at the White Qilin and asked, ¡°You¡¯re a female?¡± When he saw that the Qilin Runes on the White Qilin¡¯s back were about to appear again, he quickly waved his hand and let out a hollow laugh. ¡°Hmph, since we met, return my thing to me.¡± The White Qilin dispersed the Qilin Runes and asked Lin Mo to return a treasure to her. ¡°What treasure? Do we know each other?¡± This time, Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded. This was his first time meeting the White Qilin, so why would he take her thing? ¡°You humans really have a bad memory.¡± The White Qilin¡¯s body glowed, and it gradually took on a human form, turning into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. Her hair was white as snow, her eyes were purple, and there was a Qilin pattern on her forehead. Her face looked delicate. Lin Mo was shocked. He pointed at the person in front of him and was speechless. ¡°It¡¯s you¡­¡± He gritted his teeth and finally recognized the young girl in front of him. Back in Blue Ray City, he had participated in a small auction. Lin Mo then found a small tree carved from stone in his room. The main culprit who had placed this small tree in his room and almost exposed him was this young girl in front of him. ¡°She¡¯s a White Qilin¡­¡± Lin Mo then thought of the tree and took it out. The small tree was only half a meter tall and was very mysterious. Lin Mo had not paid much attention to it after he had kept it. From the looks of it now, this tree was very unusual. Just one look at it made people feel like they were going to be sucked into it. ¡°Don¡¯t stare at it. You don¡¯t have the Qilin bloodline. If you stare at it too much, you¡¯ll be obsessed.¡± The young girl kindly reminded him and walked over to keep the tree. She then looked at Lin Mo curiously. ¡°How did you get the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art? You¡¯re quite lucky.¡± Seeing that the tree had been taken away, Lin Mo finally regained his senses. He wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth. ¡°What? Did you want to keep it for yourself? In your dreams! Using it to cultivate requires Qilin blood. Do you have it?¡± The young girl pouted. This thing was the most precious treasure of her race, but the situation was very urgent at that time, so she had no choice but to throw it away. ¡°Those guys found me through the Ancient Qilin Tree. Can you tell me how you concealed its aura?¡± The young girl was very curious. Back then, the situation was urgent, and she really had no choice but to randomly find someone to give it to. She did not expect Lin Mo to find a way to hide it. ¡°So, you deliberately messed with me back then?¡± Lin Mo did not reply, but his face had darkened. If his identity had been exposed back then, he would have died without a burial place. Now that this little girl said it so easily, it made him very unhappy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I saw that you were blessed with great fortune and could turn misfortune into fortune, so I entrusted you to help me keep it¡­¡± The young girl chuckled and told Lin Mo that he would definitely be fine. This was because the Qilin represented auspiciousness and could see the good and bad luck of a person, so she did that. ¡°Then can you help me see if I can obtain the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng Nest?¡± Lin Mo was interested. ¡°How can I tell? I can tell good fortune and bad fortune, but I have my limits.¡± The young girl shook her head. She was a little disappointed after that. She lowered her head and mumbled, ¡°Besides, I¡¯m not a real Qilin yet¡­¡± It was another piece of news, but Lin Mo was not surprised. If the young lady in front of him was truly the White Qilin, he might not be able to resist making a move. If he were to auction off the pure Qilin blood, the benefits he would get would be immeasurable. Nonetheless, since this young girl dared to offend the Dragon Pavilion back then, her background must not be weak. It was best not to act rashly¡­ After thinking it through, Lin Mo turned around and left to look for other opportunities. ¡°Hey, wait a minute. Since you¡¯re a good person, I¡¯ll help you. I¡¯ll let you use the Ancient Qilin Tree for a few days.¡± Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave, the young girl hurriedly chased after him and took out the Ancient Qilin Tree. At the same time, a bright red color appeared on the tip of her finger. A drop of purple-red blood dripped down, and the Ancient Qilin Tree instantly bloomed with purple light. Qilin patterns appeared. Lin Mo looked at the runes on it and was momentarily dazed. He wanted to sit cross-legged and cultivate. ¡°This place is very remote. You should cultivate. This drop of blood can last for five days.¡± The girl clapped her hands and disappeared. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not want to pursue the matter any further. The runes that had appeared on the Ancient Qilin Tree were the Qilin Step that he had been racking his brains for. This was the complete version of the Nine Qilin Steps. It was not just a cultivation method as it also contained the experiences of many predecessors. To Lin Mo, this was a great opportunity. He was just lacking powerful killing moves at the moment. Lin Mo recalled the Nine Qilin Steps that the young girl had just used. That terrifying move still left him with lingering fear. Without thinking further, Lin Mo sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. The runes on the Ancient Qilin Tree entered Lin Mo¡¯s body one by one. Although he did not understand why the young girl would give him such a great opportunity, the benefits were there, so it would be a waste not to take them. In fact, it did not take five days. Lin Mo had only spent one day and one night to be able to freely use the Nine Qilin Steps. Its terrifying power could shatter mountains. Lin Mo felt that it was at least of heaven-grade tier 7¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m not a real Qilin. If I use this move with the bloodline of the Qilin, it¡¯ll be even more powerful¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. It was not his own art, after all. Although it was powerful, he could not surpass its original owner¡­ There was still enough time, so he did not want to waste it. Meditating under the Ancient Qilin Tree would be of great help to him. In the next four days, Lin Mo successfully learned the Mismatched Yin Yang among the incomplete Kun Peng techniques. This was still a powerful killing move. It used the power of Yin and Yang to detonate spiritual Qi, and the power of the explosion could even seriously injure a Ruler¡­ ¡°This is really a good treasure. What will happen if I auction it off¡­?¡± Lin Mo mumbled. The grade of the Ancient Qilin Tree was unknown. What kind of treasure would he get if he auctioned it? Chapter 613 - 613 The Heritage Land Appears 613 The Heritage Land Appears ¡°Then you¡¯ll be hunted down to the ends of the earth.¡± The young girl¡¯s lively voice came from behind Lin Mo. Her silent appearance gave him a shock. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Lin Mo asked. Such a genius must not be unknown. Perhaps she was even on the Hidden Dragon Rank. ¡°I don¡¯t have a name. Everyone in the family calls me Qilin. Why don¡¯t you call me that too?¡± The young girl pondered seriously for a moment before telling Lin Mo that she did not have a name. ¡°But didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not a real Qilin?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. Where did she come from? Why did she steal the jade seals from the Dragon Pavilion? Now, she was also helping Lin Mo to control the two great killing moves, the Nine Qilin Steps and the Mismatched Yin Yang. ¡°I¡¯ll achieve that sooner or later.¡± The young girl looked firm. She was the hope of her bloodline, and in the future, she would regain the glory of the ancient divine Qilin. ¡°That day won¡¯t be too late. Even if you have the God Devouring Body, you¡¯ll still be trampled under my feet in the end.¡± Lin Mo merely smiled in response. No one knew what would happen in the future¡­ ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll part ways here. I still have to go look for opportunities.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. The Kun Peng Nest had been open for so long, and he did not know if the final inheritance had been obtained by anyone. ¡°I¡¯m going too. I¡¯m not weak. I can help you when the time comes. We¡¯ll split the benefits equally.¡± Qilin insisted on following. Lin Mo used the Kun Peng Wings, but the purple light on her body was also extremely fast. He could not get rid of her. Just like that, the two of them walked through the mountain range at high speed. Along the way, they encountered powerful demonic beasts that were directly killed by them. Furthermore, because many people had entered the Kun Peng Nest, the news spread very quickly. ¡°The Heritage Land has appeared and will open in a month?¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news. It was good that he did not miss it. ¡°Gongsun Wenhao was the one who tried to kill me. You have a grudge against him, right? Let¡¯s find an opportunity to trick him.¡± Qilin whispered into Lin Mo¡¯s ear. He was not interested in the so-called Gongsun family. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear? Gongsun Wenhao has at least five Rulers by his side. How could he be so easy to deal with?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. This was a tough bone that would be hard to chew. ¡°What about Teng Feng? That guy isn¡¯t any good either. I heard that he¡¯s alone.¡± The two of them discussed along the way and decided to go to the Heritage Land to take a look. Maybe they could gain something. Mu Yuzhu and Gongsun Wenhao were also there. The people of the Gongsun clan never left the Heritage Land after they discovered it. They wanted to enter as soon as it opened and seize the first opportunity. ¡°Mu Yuzhu is also here. Do you hold any grudges against her?¡± Lin Mo asked. According to what Qilin said, after she stole the jade seals, she was hunted down by more than ten people on the Hidden Dragon Rank. Mu Yuzhu was one of the people who came to Blue Ray City later on. Lin Mo did not know if there was any enmity between the two. ¡°She was there at that time. She also fought, but she didn¡¯t use her full strength. She wasn¡¯t in high spirits.¡± Qilin recalled that Mu Yuzhu was also in Dragon State back then and had made a move against her. However, Mu Yuzhu only chased her for a short distance before giving up. ¡°Later on, the Dragon Pavilion said that whoever got the jade seals could keep them. That was why Mu Yuzhu followed me to Blue Ray City,¡± Qilin kept shaking her head. She was hostile to those who had tried to kill her. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s strength has increased a bit. We can¡¯t fight him.¡± Lin Mo left with Qilin. He could not stay in this place for long. This was because the little girl, Qilin, was looking at Mu Yuzhu and Gongsun Wenhao with hostility in her eyes. She did not even try to hide it. As time passed, it would be difficult for Lin Mo to hide even if he had the World-changing Technique. For a genius of her level, it would be difficult to not be noticed if Qilin revealed her hostility at such a close distance. ¡°No, I¡¯ve suffered such a huge loss. I can¡¯t just leave like this.¡± Qilin protested and wanted to attack Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°Count for yourself. There are five Rulers, Gongsun Wenhao, and so many other powerhouses. There are only two of us.¡± Lin Mo hurriedly held the impulsive little girl back. If she rushed out, they would have to come back a month later. ¡°What are you afraid of? I have a secret treasure that can suppress Rulers. I only need to deal with Gongsun Wenhao.¡± Qilin chuckled as he took out a jade board and handed it to Lin Mo. As soon as Lin Mo received it, he instantly felt an extremely terrifying force in his hand. Moreover, what shocked him was that his cultivation had dropped by five levels at this time. Lin Mo immediately threw it away, and his cultivation recovered. He quickly took two steps back and looked at Qilin with some vigilance. Just how many treasures did this little girl have? Furthermore, the effect of this item was so heaven-defying. If she had suddenly launched a sneak attack on him during the past few days, would he not be in trouble? ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve given you an opportunity. Are you suspecting me?¡± Qilin was displeased when she saw Lin Mo¡¯s gaze. She had never harbored any ill intentions. ¡°Um¡­¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo touched his nose awkwardly. What she said was true, but one must always be wary of others¡­ Besides, he suddenly remembered and wondered why he would subconsciously think that Qilin could be trusted when he was with him. He even had the urge to get closer to her¡­ Lin Mo looked at Qilin and asked the question in his heart. This feeling had always existed since he tacitly agreed that Qilin could follow him. ¡°It¡¯s very simple; Qilins are auspicious beasts, even though my bloodline isn¡¯t pure. ¡°But I¡¯m probably the only living Qilin in the world. Auspicious beasts are born to make people feel close to them. ¡°How about it? Do you admire me and want to worship me?¡± Qilin placed her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Mo smugly. ¡°Tell me your plan. How are we going to do it?¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He asked Qilin to tell him what to do next. ¡°That¡¯s easy. Gongsun Wenhao is offering a reward for you. I¡¯ll go out and tell him that I know your whereabouts. Then I¡¯ll bring some people over. ¡°You just need to take the opportunity to activate the Ancient Demon Jade. At that time, all the Rulers within 50 kilometers will lose their combat power,¡± Qilin said happily as if she was about to do something earth-shattering. In fact, what they were going to do next was indeed quite sensational¡­ ¡°I hope your plan is reliable¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. This was too simple, but it was a good idea. The only thing he needed to worry about was whether or not Gongsun Wenhao would believe Qilin. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the Ancient Demon Jade¡¯s activation runes. Remember them well.¡± Qilin secretly transmitted a message and told Lin Mo about some mysterious runes. After everything was ready, Lin Mo left the place. According to Qilin, he had to go to a gathering point nearby and wait for Qilin to bring Gongsun Wenhao there¡­ ¡°Mm, there are some people here. I can auction off the treasures I obtained in the past few days¡­¡± When Lin Mo arrived at the gathering point, he found that there were quite a lot of people. He immediately chose a stall and started the auction. ¡°Elixirs, spirit pills, cultivation methods, and martial arts, all for auction. The highest bidders will get them¡­¡± Chapter 614 - 614 Ancient Qilin Lady 614 Ancient Qilin Lady Lin Mo took out more than a dozen items that were above earth-grade tier 5. As soon as he took them out, it caused a commotion at the gathering point. Many people gathered around, asking about their price. There were even some people who had murderous looks in their eyes. Seeing that Lin Mo was alone, they planned to snatch the treasures. Nonetheless, the next moment, a flaming Sword Qi appeared in front of everyone. ¡°Hehe, the first item is an earth-grade tier 5 body technique martial art, the Phantom Steps. ¡°As you all know, a body technique is as valuable as a cultivation technique. The starting price for the Phantom Steps is 150,000 high-grade spirit stones.¡± The buzzing of the Sword Qi was still reverberating, and everyone was shocked. They did not doubt that the Sword Qi could easily kill everyone present. The people who had wanted to attack just now were all silent. There were even people whose legs began to tremble. ¡®Who is this person? How could he be so powerful¡­?¡¯ ¡°I¡¯ll pay 170,000.¡± Of course, only a small portion of them was greedy. Most of them still followed the rules. On top of that, the martial arts in Lin Mo¡¯s hands were all good stuff, so they all chose to bid. Not long after, the Phantom Steps was bought by a middle-aged man for 270,000. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, sir. The trade will be done on the spot. Take this.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction after receiving the 270,000 high-grade spirit stones. At the same time, the system¡¯s notification sound rang in his mind. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 5 skill, the Phantom Steps.] [Successfully triggered a 3,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations, you have obtained an earth-grade tier 7 Ghostly Steps.] After the first auction, Lin Mo was about to continue when the entire gathering point was enveloped in a golden light. A shocking formation was set up in an instant. Formation flags fell one after another, sealing the place. ¡°What happened? Who¡¯s making a move?¡± ¡°These are the Gongsun clan¡¯s war flags. Why are they doing this?¡± The group of people was very confused. The formation flags had the pattern of the Gongsun clan on them, which was very easy to recognize. ¡°He¡¯s here. So fast. I was still thinking of selling a few more treasures¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Did Gongsun Wenhao hate him that much? Or was he afraid that he would rise¡­? ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯ll die today.¡± Soon, a group of people walked in from outside the formation. Gongsun Wenhao walked in with three old men. There were many people around the formation, and they were the ones providing energy to the formation. ¡°Three Rulers have come? He¡¯s planning to kill me!¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Including Gongsun Wenhao, he would really be in trouble. However, with Qilin¡¯s help, he hoped that he could keep Gongsun Wenhao here. ¡°Hehe, do you believe me now? Give me divine medicine.¡± In the air, Qilin walked over with a smile and asked for Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s reward. ¡°Um¡­¡± Hearing this, the three old men beside Gongsun Wenhao all had unnatural expressions. This young lady found them earlier and said that she had traces of Lin Mo. Nonetheless, she asked for divine medicine the moment she opened her mouth. Otherwise, she would not give any information. In the end, they had no choice but to agree to let the young lady lead the way. If they found Lin Mo, they would give her divine medicine. Now that Lin Mo was here, they could confirm that it was true. Did they really have to hand over divine medicine? ¡°Young lady, as the saying goes, don¡¯t bite off more than you can chew. You have to understand this principle. Divine medicine is so precious. Do you think you can get it so easily?¡± An old man said in a deep voice. He then took out a scroll from his storage ring. ¡°This is an earth-grade tier 7 martial art. It¡¯s a treasure to you. Take it and leave this place.¡± As soon as he said that, the smile on Qilin¡¯s face disappeared. She looked at the old man with an unfriendly expression. ¡°Your clan is too overbearing. You¡¯re not giving me the divine medicine you promised. Who do you think you¡¯re dismissing with a lousy cultivation technique?¡± ¡°Shut up! When did we promise to give you divine medicine? Don¡¯t try to extort us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Take the cultivation technique and leave. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame us for being impolite.¡± The old man¡¯s face was cold as he handed over the cultivation technique, asking Qilin to quickly take it and leave this place. ¡°This is too much¡­¡± Qilin could not take it anymore. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, she raised her hand and slapped the old man¡¯s face. She used a lot of strength, and the old man did not expect her to have such strength and dared to attack. Caught off guard, the old man was sent flying by a slap. There was still some blood in the air. The old man could not hold it in and spat out another mouthful of blood. Broken teeth could even be seen in the blood. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± The other two were furious and instantly attacked Qilin with terrifying power. ¡°Ancient Demon Jade, suppress!¡± Lin Mo, who had been waiting for a long time, activated the Ancient Demon Jade. This place was completely enveloped, and the formation that originally sealed this place lost its effect as it was broken by the Ancient Demon Jade. A thick aura spread out, and the others only felt their bodies sink, but they quickly adapted. Even so, the three Rulers of the Gongsun clan were in trouble. This force was completely directed at them, and their cultivation was restricted by more than half. ¡°Old man, no one has ever dared to go back on their word against me. I¡¯ll beat you to death.¡± Qilin said viciously. It was extremely easy for her to deal with the three weakened Rulers. In just a few moves, the three of them were beaten up. ¡°Hurry up and give me ten divine medicines as compensation. Otherwise, I¡¯ll cripple you.¡± Qilin grabbed one of the men¡¯s sleeves and threatened. ¡°You have some good tactics¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s eyes twitched when he saw the three Rulers he had brought with him being taken care of by Qilin. On the other side, Lin Mo made his move as well. He attacked directly. The Mountain River Scroll swept across the sky, releasing its divine might. He also released his cultivation base at this moment. Being at the ninth level of tier 1 of the Immortal Foundation, he was at the peak of the realm. ¡°Now, let¡¯s try again.¡± Lin Mo sneered. He told Qilin not to interfere for the time being. He wanted to fight Gongsun Wenhao alone. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s not possible. Teng Feng and Mu Yuzhu are nearby, and I can feel them. We have to finish this battle quickly.¡± Qilin transmitted her voice. She did not care about exposing her identity as she released her Qilin patterns. The three Rulers were originally able to hold on for a while against her, but after she unleashed her full power, they were instantly defeated. ¡°Ah¡­¡± They screamed at the same time. There was a sharp white scale between their eyebrows. Their souls in the Immortal Foundation had already been destroyed, and they had completely lost their lives. ¡°It¡¯s you, the ancient Qilin lady!¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face paled as he looked at Qilin, the calmness in his eyes finally gone. ¡°Don¡¯t be distracted.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice came from behind Gongsun Wenhao. Qilin patterns bloomed under his feet, and he used the Nine Qilin Steps. A terrifying fluctuation erupted. At that moment, Lin Mo seemed to have transformed into a Qilin. Under its iron hooves, mountains and rivers were shattered. ¡°Silver Light Slash!¡± A bright silver halberd appeared. Facing the complete version of the Nine Qilin Steps, Gongsun Wenhao did not dare to be careless. He used his heaven-grade martial art to block the attack, and the two parties collided fiercely¡­ This time, Gongsun Wenhao was completely at a disadvantage and lost his previous glory. The Qilin patterns exploded and completely devoured the silver light. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body was also sent flying. Chapter 615 - 615 The Mismatched Yin Yang Shows Its Power 615 The Mismatched Yin Yang Shows Its Power Previously, Gongsun Wenhao had relied on the complete heaven-grade martial art to suppress Lin Mo. Now, it was the other way around. The power of the Nine Qilin Steps far exceeded that of the Silver Light Slash. ¡°Ancient Qilin lady? What¡¯s that term of address?¡± After sending Gongsun Wenhao flying with a kick, Lin Mo frowned. It seemed like Qilin had quite a lot of secrets. ¡°Hey, Mu Yuzhu, I¡¯ve never offended you. Why are you attacking me?¡± Not far away, Qilin said with some resentment. She had encountered some trouble. A young lady with an otherworldly spirit was blocking her way. ¡°Miss Mu, what do you mean by this?¡± Lin Mo hurried over. In his impression, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s strength was probably even greater than Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s. ¡°Brother Lin, have you been tricked by her? Her identity isn¡¯t simple.¡± Mu Yuzhu looked at Lin Mo curiously. Lin Mo should be a rogue cultivator, and many forces wanted to rope him in. Why was he walking with the Qilin lady? ¡°I¡¯ve only hidden some things from you. I¡¯ve never lied to you.¡± Qilin quickly turned around and explained to Lin Mo. Her flustered look was not credible at all. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you believe her?¡± She looked at Lin Mo worriedly. Mu Yuzhu had also come today, and Qilin could even sense that Teng Feng was also rushing over. If Lin Mo still did not believe her, she would be in deep trouble. Even if she could escape, she would have to pay a huge price. ¡°Everyone has their secrets. I also have things I¡¯m hiding. It¡¯s normal.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Even though he was curious, he could not bring himself to stab someone in the back. Unfortunately, even if he did not make a move, it did not mean that others would not. Everyone was talking about the ancient Qilin lady and the inheritance of the Qilin. All of a sudden, Lin Mo and Qilin had become the target of public criticism and were about to be besieged. ¡°Lin Mo, surrounding and killing her is the will of the world. Are you going to go against the world¡¯s will?¡± Gongsun Wenhao also flew over and led a group of people to surround Lin Mo. ¡°What a joke. The people here can¡¯t represent the people of the world.¡± Qilin sneered. Her expression was solemn. The only good news was that the Rulers had been restricted by the Ancient Demon Jade. Even so, the situation was still not optimistic. Mu Yuzhu alone was enough for Qilin to use all her strength. Now, Lin Mo also wanted to deal with Gongsun Wenhao¡­ ¡°Find a chance to escape. You have the Kun Peng Wings, so you can escape,¡± Qilin transmitted a message to Lin Mo. ¡°What about you?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°I can also leave. Don¡¯t delay anymore. When Teng Feng comes, we won¡¯t be able to leave.¡± Qilin urged. She raised her hand, and several Qilin scales flew out, heading straight for Mu Yuzhu. She was touched that Lin Mo was willing to believe her. The situation was urgent, and if they did not break out, it would be too late. ¡°Hmph, since you¡¯re so determined to die, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± Gongsun Wenhao once again looked for Lin Mo. He was extremely unwilling to accept his previous defeat. He wanted to defeat Lin Mo head-on to vent his hatred. ¡°Another joke. Aren¡¯t you already impolite? ¡± Lin Mo sneered again. He immediately attacked, activating the Mountain River Scroll with all his might. At the same time, a Kun Peng appeared behind Lin Mo. The Kun Peng phantom roared into the sky, and a powerful pressure spread at this time. Two completely opposite powers appeared. The power of extreme Yang revolved, but in the next moment, it turned into the power of extreme Yin. The two of them resonated with each other, forming a Yin Yang Taiji Diagram around Lin Mo. Lin Mo extended two of his fingers and pointed at the Yin and Yang fishes. ¡°Puff!¡± Black and white light flashed. The Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed was contained in the light, and it was impossible to dodge. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face was filled with shock, and a layer of armor appeared on his body. There were special runes on the body of the armor. It was a heaven-grade defensive magic tool. He had relied on this move to defend himself against Lin Mo¡¯s attack last time. ¡°This is a Kun Peng Technique. Did you obtain the inheritance of the Kun Peng?¡± Gongsun Wenhao was shocked. This was a technique that belonged to the Kun Peng. There was no mistaking it. Everyone was shocked. Could it be that Lin Mo had unknowingly obtained the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng? Despite that, that was not right. If Lin Mo had obtained the inheritance, why would he still be here? He was only a rogue cultivator. With such a treasure in his hands, the entire Northern Continent would surely covet it. The Mismatched Yin Yang was extremely terrifying. In an instant, it exploded, and Gongsun Wenhao almost fell to the ground. At this moment, Gongsun Wenhao felt intense pain all over his body. The power of Yin and Yang spread throughout his body, destroying his meridians. He let out a furious roar, and the armor on his body creaked. He swept the halberd in his hand horizontally, scattering the power outside his body. At the same time, the rest of the Gongsun clan also rushed forward to protect Gongsun Wenhao. Meanwhile, Lin Mo was surrounded and attacked by the rest of the people. Compared to the Qilin lady, Lin Mo, a rogue cultivator, was easier to bully. That said, these people were just a motley crew in front of Lin Mo. The follow-up power of the Mismatched Yin Yang spread, and more than half of the besieging crowd was killed or injured in an instant. Some people did not even manage to see how Lin Mo attacked. In the next moment, they were already beheaded. ¡°Boom!¡± The bright silver halberd slashed down. Gongsun Wenhao waved the halberd and attacked. At the same time, more and more people were gathering not far away. Some people even began to crack the Ancient Demon Jade, and the Ancient Demon Jade that shrouded the area began to shake. Lin Mo¡¯s heart sank. He knew that once the Ancient Demon Jade was broken, the Rulers present would be able to make a move. At that time, they would not be able to leave. ¡°Strike first and gain the upper hand.¡± With that thought, Lin Mo unfurled the Kun Peng Wings on his back and appeared in front of a Ruler whose strength had been suppressed. The man was originally from this gathering point and had not made a move until someone said that Lin Mo had obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng. ¡°Wait¡­¡± The other party wanted to say something, but Lin Mo did not give him the chance. Lin Mo used his fingers as a sword, and a dazzling Sword Qi burst forth, turning the man¡¯s soul into ashes. After doing this, the Ruler disappeared. The next moment, Gongsun Wenhao came and chopped the man¡¯s body into pieces. ¡°Don¡¯t delay, let¡¯s go. Teng Feng is only 500 kilometers away from here.¡± After killing one person, Lin Mo heard the anxious voice of the Qilin, telling him to leave immediately. ¡°500 kilometers, huh? I can still delay them for three minutes.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mind raced as he came up with the best strategy. He did not care about the consumption and once again used the Mismatched Yin Yang. The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared, and he pointed with two fingers. His target was none other than the two Rulers that Gongsun Wenhao had brought. As for the other person, Lin Mo had no intention of letting him go. The Qilin patterns beneath his feet bloomed as he stomped on him. ¡°Abyssal Devouring.¡± At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s face turned slightly pale. Almost half of the spiritual Qi in his body had been consumed in an instant. A black hole appeared and left Lin Mo¡¯s body, enveloping Gongsun Wenhao. Even though he had the God Devouring Body, using three killer moves at once was extremely exhausting. Although Lin Mo was recovering quickly, it was all thanks to his abnormal body that his meridians could withstand such a terrifying flow of spiritual Qi. ¡°Boom¡­¡± There was a violent explosion as Lin Mo detonated the Qilin patterns. Three rays of light flew out and were caught by him. Chapter 616 - 616 Qilins Past 616 Qilin¡¯s Past These were the interspatial rings of the three Rulers. After all, they were Rulers, so they could not possibly be broke. ¡°Haha, thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye.¡± After getting what he wanted, Lin Mo did not hesitate. He flapped his Kun Peng Wings and escaped from Gongsun Wenhao, arriving at the battlefield where Mu Yuzhu and Qilin were fighting. Lin Mo used the Mismatched Yin Yang again, killing most of the people who were attacking Qilin. Nonetheless, Qilin¡¯s situation was not too good. She was entangled with Mu Yuzhu, and it was difficult for her to escape. ¡°Sigh¡­ Alright, Brother Lin, take her away.¡± Mu Yuzhu looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression, but she did not try to stop him, allowing him and Qilin to leave. ¡°You¡¯re not that annoying after all. I¡¯ll forgive you.¡± Qilin smiled sweetly, and the grave expression on her face finally relaxed. She was smiling at Mu Yuzhu. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. ¡®You forgave her just like that¡­¡¯ He grabbed Qilin¡¯s wrist and used the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed to take her away. As for the Ancient Demon Jade, it had long been destroyed and could no longer hold on. Unfortunately, all the Rulers had been killed by Lin Mo, so it would be useless even if it was broken. ¡°Hehe, we¡¯ll split the spoils equally. You can¡¯t keep them for yourself.¡± As Lin Mo brought Qilin away, she did not forget to look at the three interspatial rings in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. Lin Mo could not help but laugh at her carefree smile. ¡®Why does this girl¡¯s personality seem to be similar to Lin die¡¯s¡­?¡¯ ¡°Mu Yuzhu, you actually let the Qilin lady go? Did you collude with them?¡± On the battlefield, Gongsun Wenhao was furious. He had rushed over. As long as Mu Yuzhu could delay Lin Mo for a moment, he would be able to stop him. By the time Teng Feng came over, be it the Qilin lady or the God Devouring Body, they would all be in their hands. ¡°Do I need to report to you?¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s expression was calm. She glanced at Gongsun Wenhao and did not stay any longer. She ignored the crowd and turned to leave, disappearing from this place. In the distance, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land, Lin Mo and Qilin found a spirit spring and began to organize their spoils. There were seven half-step divine herbs and two heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicines in the three interspatial rings. There were also 15 earth-grade tier 9 elixirs, which was a very precious resource. In addition, there were about 130 million spirit stones, which was also a huge sum. Other than these, there was nothing else good. Some of the martial art techniques were too low in grade, so Lin Mo casually kept them. ¡°This is great. This trip wasn¡¯t in vain. I can use this opportunity to enter closed-door cultivation.¡± Qilin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and was about to pick up an elixir to gnaw on. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Lin Mo quickly stopped her, not letting her harm a half-step divine medicine. This was a precious treasure to him. After an auction, he would be able to obtain a heaven-grade divine medicine. He could not afford to lose it. ¡°Hey, we agreed to split them evenly. I didn¡¯t even take the spirit stones.¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo in dissatisfaction. She revealed two cute canine teeth and glared at Lin Mo. Then, she put on a pitiful look and said that her fate was unstable. She said that she needed to absorb a large amount of life force¡­ ¡°Life force? I¡¯ll give you this then.¡± Looking at the crying Qilin, Lin Mo felt that she was very cute, just like Lin Die. He took out a vine from the system space. It was half a meter long and had nine segments in total. Each segment had a tender leaf on it. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s a Nine-leaf Poria Grass!¡± Qilin¡¯s face was filled with joy. She wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. She looked at Lin Mo and confirmed that it was for her. Then, she took a bite. A tender leaf was eaten by her, and green juice flowed down the corner of her mouth, turning into a rich life force. ¡°This is really great¡­¡± With such a rich life force flowing into her body, she was filled with joy. She hugged the vine and laughed heartlessly. ¡°How old are you?¡± This scene reminded Lin Mo of Lin Die. ¡°Does the time I was still in the egg count?¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo and blinked. ¡°Uh¡­ I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little confused. ¡®She had slept in an egg?¡¯ ¡°I just turned two last month.¡± Qilin chuckled and wagged two fingers at Lin Mo. ¡°You look like you¡¯re in a rush to grow up indeed¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. ¡®Two years old? No wonder she¡¯s no different from a child.¡¯ Moreover, he just did not suspect her. She believed him and revealed her most innocent side just like that¡­ ¡°My mother should be the divine beast from ancient times, the Qilin. That¡¯s what the people who hunted me said.¡± Qilin shook her head and said with an innocent expression. She chose to believe Lin Mo and told him about her background. As for the reason, it was because Lin Mo did not abandon her and run away. He did not covet her Qilin blood like the others. ¡°It¡¯s not too late for me to be greedy now,¡± Lin Mo said, feigning ferocity. Hearing this, Qilin shook her head and waved her hand. ¡°No, I¡¯ll die if I give you my blood.¡± ¡°So this is the reason you¡¯re being hunted down?¡± Lin Mo patted Qilin¡¯s head, feeling sorry for her. Her spiritual intelligence had been awakened long ago, but her heart was like a child¡¯s. She had been born for two years. Could it be that she had been hunted down all this time? ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone I met wanted my Qilin blood, including Mu Yuzhu,¡± Qilin said with a pout. However, to her, Mu Yuzhu was not that hateful. They had fought many times in the past. The other party did not kill her. It seemed like she wanted to capture her and bring her back to her clan. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll definitely take revenge against Gongsun Wenhao. His entire clan wanted to kill me and take my blood.¡± After uttering these harsh words, Qilin bit the vine in her arms as if it was the Gongsun clan. ¡°Wait a minute, your mother is the ancient divine beast Qilin. Doesn¡¯t that mean you have the inheritance of the Qilin?¡± Lin Mo suddenly thought of something and looked at Qilin with a burning gaze. This fiery gaze seemed to remind Qilin of the days when she was being hunted down. Her body trembled, and she took two steps back. Lin Mo quickly retracted his gaze and smiled apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was a little excited when I thought of the Qilin¡¯s inheritance.¡± He told Qilin not to worry and that he would not snatch it. At least for now, the two of them could be considered friends. ¡°In other words, if we don¡¯t know each other, you¡¯ll come after me?¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo in dissatisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m not a good person. Would you help someone you¡¯re not related to?¡± Lin Mo did not think much of it. He felt that it was necessary to let this little girl know how evil the world could be. ¡°Didn¡¯t I help you before?¡± Qilin still did not want to waste time and argued. When they first met, she sensed that Lin Mo was learning the Nine Qilin Steps, so she activated the Ancient Qilin Tree for him to learn. Was that not helping? Faced with the little girl¡¯s eloquence, Lin Mo was speechless as he thought about it. Qilin gave out such a precious opportunity just like that, not knowing how to hide it at all¡­ Despite that, on second thought, it seemed that this was also the reason Lin Mo acquiesced to Qilin¡¯s following, which led to the current situation¡­ ¡°Could this be¡­ Fate?¡± Chapter 617 - 617 Revenge 617 Revenge ¡°Humans are sinister. In the future, don¡¯t casually expose your identity, and don¡¯t anyhow help others.¡± Lin Mo warned Qilin seriously. He did not want anything to happen to her. ¡°Don¡¯t you want the Qilin techniques?¡± Qilin blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Mo with a face full of sincerity. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m not so poor that I would trick you of your inheritance.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. He wanted it, but he would not ask for it in this way. Besides, it was the inheritance of Qilin¡¯s race, so it was best not to spread it. ¡°Hehe, even if you want it, I can¡¯t give it to you. My inheritance is incomplete.¡± Qilin chuckled and took another bite of the vine. ¡°I was born early, and I was attacked by enemies when my mom was pregnant. My life force is short, and I lack inheritances.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo felt that it was a pity. It was a supreme inheritance. How could it be lost just like that? ¡°In the future, I¡¯ll help you obtain the inheritance of your race.¡± Lin Mo laughed. With the auction rebate system, it would be easy for him to achieve this. Of course, it was not now. If he wanted to obtain the complete Qilin inheritance, he would need at least 70% of the incomplete technique. If there was only half of it, even if the rebate was 10,000 times, it might not be able to return the full profit¡­ ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a deal. I¡¯ll give you my Qilin blood when the time comes.¡± Qilin nodded seriously and made a promise. The most precious thing in her body was pure Qilin blood. She also acknowledged Lin Mo and was willing to give it to him. ¡°Don¡¯t always talk about Qilin blood¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. It seemed like he had a long way to go before he could teach Qilin how to be cautious¡­ Qilin was in seclusion. After eating an entire Nine-leaf Poria Grass, she transformed into a Qilin egg and fell into a deep sleep. Lin Mo could feel a strong life force coming back to life in her body. The bloodline of the divine beast Qilin was gradually activating. ¡®Perhaps the Qilin inheritance will appear in her mind as she perfects her innate flaws¡­¡¯ After some speculation, Lin Mo gave up on the idea of investigating further. After keeping the Qilin egg, Lin Mo left the place where he had gone into seclusion. His cultivation had reached perfection and there was no way for him to advance any further. He could only wait for the ancient battlefield to open up and enter it to make a breakthrough. In the following days, Lin Mo was rather carefree. With the World-changing Technique, no one was able to discover his whereabouts. At the same time, he also went to find the people of the Gongsun clan. He did not show any mercy to their subordinate force, the Black Death Sect. He attacked them directly. As long as a Ruler did not appear, no one would be Lin Mo¡¯s match. And even if a Ruler came, with the Kun Peng Wings and the World-changing Technique, no one would be able to stop him. Many of the Gongsun clan¡¯s people had been killed by Lin Mo, and the subordinate force suffered even more losses. The news spread like wildfire, and people also knew who had made the move. This made the people of the Gongsun clan feel indignant. They had nowhere to vent their anger. They wanted to catch Lin Mo and cut him into pieces. Half a month later, Lin Mo sneaked deep into the mountains. The Qilin egg he was carrying had some movement. Qilin was about to come out of seclusion, so he did not dare to be careless. After finding a quiet place, he waited for three days. ¡°Crack.¡± With a crisp sound, Qilin emerged from the eggshell, her body still glowing with purple light. Her hair had grown a lot longer, and the purple in her eyes had deepened. She was still not very tall, only about 15 or 16 years old, but the vitality in her body was even stronger. ¡°What a good sleep. Has the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land opened?¡± Qilin asked while yawning. ¡°There are still about ten days left. Let¡¯s make our preparations and go in to take the inheritance,¡± Lin Mo said. In these ten days, he also had to make early preparations and prepare the elixirs to recover his injuries and spiritual Qi. At the same time, he was going to find some gathering points to sell the earth-grade tier 9 elixirs he had. The divine medicine¡¯s medicinal properties were extremely powerful. It could instantly heal injuries at a critical moment, so it was indispensable. ¡°Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the bid of this Yellow Vine Plant with 25 million high-grade spirit stones.¡± At a small gathering point, Lin Mo and Qilin had concealed their identities and were peddling elixirs. Qilin was confused as to why Lin Mo wanted to sell the elixirs. ¡°What a waste. You can¡¯t waste the God Devouring Body like that.¡± Qilin was very dissatisfied. She wanted to stop an old man from taking the Yellow Vine Plant away. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, Yellow Vine Plant.] [Successfully triggered a 5,000 times auction rebate] [Congratulations for obtaining a heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicine, Earth Spirit Vine.] Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction when he heard the system notification in his mind. Yet another divine medicine was in his hands. He wished he could have this kind of business every day. It was too profitable. The medicinal effects of divine medicine and an elixir were worlds apart. There was simply no comparison between the two. Coupled with the fact that he had earned a sum of spirit stones, Lin Mo even felt that his financial resources were comparable to some of the major forces. Even so, this was just a thought. The truly powerful forces had even more precious divine medicines planted in their medicine fields. ¡°Stop mumbling. Let¡¯s go to the next location.¡± Lin Mo smiled and left with Qilin. Soon, the news of their appearance would spread. Due to his actions some time ago, the Gongsun clan had been looking for him everywhere. They did not let go of any clues, and as long as someone noticed something unusual, they would go and report it. After all, this was Cloud State, the territory of the Gongsun clan. There were many people helping them. Lin Mo could only bring Qilin and change locations constantly. ¡°Can you give me your grade 3 Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus?¡± Qilin chuckled as she flew, staring at the spatial ring on Lin Mo¡¯s hand. Ever since she knew that Lin Mo had the grade 3 Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus, she had been trying to get it. In the end, Qilin even mentioned the Qilin blood in exchange, leaving Lin Mo speechless. Lin Mo understood that Qilin¡¯s weakness was that she needed a large amount of life force. When it was restored, Qilin would be able to obtain the complete Qilin inheritance. During this period, any release of the Qilin¡¯s blood essence would be fatal to her. Lin Mo would never allow such a thing to happen. He repeatedly warned her not to use the Qilin blood. ¡°Then give me the grade 3 Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus.¡± Qilin did not give up and said that she did not have any other treasures on her. ¡°Why don¡¯t I let you use the Ancient Qilin Tree again for a few days?¡± Qilin laughed. Activating the Ancient Qilin Tree only required ordinary blood, and it would not harm one¡¯s life force. ¡°No, you can¡¯t help but eat the Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus if I give it to you. What if you fall asleep again?¡± Lin Mo pulled a long face. The Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance was about to appear. If Qilin was in a deep sleep, he would have to split his body to protect her. Then, could he still snatch the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance? ¡°I can definitely endure it,¡± Qilin solemnly vowed. However, her subtle gulp made her words not convincing at all. ¡°How sad. You don¡¯t trust me at all.¡± Qilin said disappointedly. She lowered her head and followed Lin Mo unwillingly. The two of them came to the outside of the Heritance Land. It was crowded with people, all waiting for the land to open. ¡°Keep quiet and don¡¯t expose yourself¡­¡± Chapter 618 - 618 Fighting a Group of Powerhouses 618 Fighting a Group of Powerhouses Although it was only a matter of time before Lin Mo and Qilin were exposed, it was still good to be able to hide for a while. After all, they were the target of many people. After Lin Mo used the Mismatched Yin Yang and defeated Gongsun Wenhao, some people knew that he must have part of the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. Although it was not comprehensive, it was absolutely amazing, and many people wanted it. ¡°It¡¯s too late. Gongsun Wenhao can sense my aura. I can¡¯t hide it.¡± Qilin said with a slightly embarrassed expression as she pointed forward with her slender finger. Lin Mo looked over and saw Gongsun Wenhao looking over with an angry expression. Powerhouses had gathered around him and were prepared to attack. ¡°Qilin girl, are you still trying to hide? I¡¯ll kill you today and take your Qilin blood.¡± Someone from the Gongsun family stepped forward. Lin Mo took a step forward and threw a punch, sending the man flying with his terrifying power. Unfortunately, they were still exposed. Many people looked over. Qilin blood was one of the most precious treasures in the world. As the Heritage Land was about to open, there were many people here. All kinds of prodigies had come. Some of them were not even from Cloud State, but from all over the Northern Continent. ¡°So you¡¯re the God Devouring Body? You do have some ability.¡± Among the many powerhouses in the distance, a young man looked over. He had a terrifying aura, and his eyes were golden like two suns. This person was Teng Feng, the genius who was ranked third on Cloud State¡¯s Prodigy Roll. Moreover, the Dragon Pavilion had released a new ranking some time ago, and Teng Feng was on the list. He was ranked 10th on the Hidden Dragon Rank, surpassing Gongsun Wenhao. After all, the latter was ranked 13th. ¡°Hmph, Lin Mo, come and accept your death.¡± On the other side, the people of the Gongsun clan also expressed their attitude and wanted to attack Lin Mo. Gongsun Wenhao was clad in battle armor, and a bright silver halberd appeared in his hand. He pointed it at Lin Mo, looking like a god descending to the mortal world, looking down on everyone. Not far away, Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant, Su Qing, stood in midair. They watched with interest, but they did not express their opinions. The crowd was puzzled, not understanding why Mu Yuzhu¡¯s attitude had changed. She had wanted to attack the Qilin girl before, but why did she give up now that the Qilin girl and the God Devouring Body were together? Other than Mu Yuzhu and a few others, the rest of the people were eyeing Lin Mo and Qilin covetously. ¡°If you want to fight, then come. However, you¡¯ll bear the consequences.¡± Lin Mo was not afraid at all as he stood in mid-air. His realm had caught up, and he had completed body tempering. He also had the help of Qilin. Furthermore, he had two more killing moves. In terms of foundation, he was not weaker than Gongsun Wenhao, Teng Feng, and others. Although there were still other Rulers, he did not fear anyone at this moment. The group of people had been threatened by Lin Mo, a rogue cultivator. His words caused an uproar in the crowd. Everyone present had extraordinary status, and even the Gongsun family did not dare to offend some of them. None of them were kind people, so how could they tolerate Lin Mo being in the limelight alone? ¡°You¡¯re just a mere rogue cultivator. Do you really think you¡¯re invincible just because you have the God Devouring Body?¡± A middle-aged man said coldly. He took a step forward and was about to attack. ¡°So what if he¡¯s a rogue cultivator? A rogue cultivator can kill disciples of major sects like you,¡± Qilin said angrily. Hearing this, everyone was furious, but on second thought, she was right. Although the people were not convinced, they had to admit that it was all thanks to Lin Mo that they had been able to enter the Kun Peng Nest. If not for Lin Mo¡¯s test, the Kun Peng Nest would not have been kept open. One must know that this was something that even the greatest genius of the Gongsun clan, Gongsun Wenhao, could not do ¡­ Not far away, Mu Yuzhu nodded in agreement. ¡°I won¡¯t attack. Let¡¯s just watch. Before the Heritage Land opens, we can still watch a show.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. She brought her maidservant, Su Qing, and retreated a distance away, unwilling to be affected. Mu Yuzhu retreated, but no one talked about her. They all looked at Lin Mo with unfriendly expressions. Many people did not believe it. They thought that the God Devouring Body only had good talent but lacked combat power. After all, Lin Mo¡¯s current use of the God Devouring Body was mostly auxiliary. He rarely used it in battle. ¡°Kill him. The so-called God Devouring Body is just a joke to me. How dare he talk so arrogantly?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The same goes for the Qilin girl. She was born with a congenital deficiency, so she can¡¯t display the combat power of a true ancient divine Qilin at the same level.¡± Some people shouted. Some demonic beast experts were even more aggressive. They wanted to attack and kill the God Devouring Body directly. ¡°Oh, a Water Dragon. I¡¯ve heard that the meat of a Water Dragon is delicious and extremely suitable for making soup. I haven¡¯t had a bite in a long time.¡± Lin Mo looked at the person in front of him and recognized his true form. He was a Gray Water Dragon. ¡°It just so happens that I have an abundance of elixirs. I¡¯ll use you to make a medicinal dish.¡± Lin Mo pointed out a finger, and a Sword Qi shot out, cutting through the sky. Despite that, it was caught by the Gray Water Dragon. ¡°Boom!¡± The waves of Qi were like the sea. The Gray Water Dragons were a race with powerful combat power. The most powerful one was a Ruler. His aura was a little weak, and he had just broken through. It seemed that he had obtained many good things in the Kun Peng Nest. ¡°Don¡¯t get too attached to battle. Protect yourself.¡± After Lin Mo warned Qilin, he rushed out and welcomed the attacks of the crowd. The main attackers were the Gray Water Dragons. Occasionally, some people would try to sneak attacks. In response, Lin Mo showed no mercy and killed them directly. He leaped into the air and activated the Mountain River Scroll to isolate the battlefield and prevent sneak attacks. The people enveloped by the Mountain River Scroll did not panic. They joined forces to fight Lin Mo. It was a pity that their joint efforts were so fragile in front of Lin Mo that they were torn apart. A black hole appeared in front of them and quickly expanded. It emitted a powerful suction force and sucked in some living beings. They immediately felt as if they had fallen into a quagmire, and the spiritual Qi in their bodies was consumed at an extreme rate. Lin Mo waved his hand, and the suction force increased sharply. The absorbed power was transformed into Sword Qi, and he pointed with a finger. ¡°Puff!¡± A bloody light appeared, and a few powerful demonic beasts were directly strangled to death. A bloody mark appeared between their eyebrows, and their souls were destroyed. There were also human powerhouses who wanted to take advantage of the situation and sneak an attack on Lin Mo. However, they were swept up and killed immediately. ¡°A Water Dragon¡¯s blood is pretty good. It can temper the body and refine the soul.¡± Lin Mo looked at the Water Dragon in front of him with satisfaction. It was more than 30 meters long, but he had killed it. ¡°Why are you collecting their dead bodies? You can just refine them into blood essence.¡± Qilin came over. She was also fighting, and after killing her opponent, she would refine them into blood essence and keep them. ¡°Eating Water Dragon meat has the same effect as refining their blood essence. Water Dragon meat is fresh and delicious. Isn¡¯t it better to stew it?¡± Lin Mo laughed. This was what Bai Luo loved to do the most. On the path of cultivation, if one did not know how to enjoy life, it would be too boring. ¡°Sure, but remember to put in the divine medicine when the time comes,¡± Qilin said excitedly, not forgetting to think about Lin Mo¡¯s divine medicine. ¡°You two little b*stards, you¡¯re looking for death.¡± Behind them, the Mountain River Scroll was broken, and a huge Water Dragon transformed into its true form. It broke through the blockade and rushed in. Chapter 619 - 619 Shocked Everyone 619 Shocked Everyone The Water Dragon saw its kind being killed. Now, Lin Mo even discussed turning them into a stew with divine medicine. With a furious roar, it swooped down, displaying the strength of a Ruler. Silver light flickered, and a terrifying pressure attacked. Gongsun Wenhao made his move at this time. People were shocked and hurriedly retreated. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s combat power had become a bit stronger. To be able to rank so high on the Hidden Dragon Rank, he was indeed worthy of his reputation. ¡°Boom!¡± The silver halberd slashed down, but Lin Mo and Qilin dodged it. At the same time, the two of them also attacked, fighting against the Gray Water Dragon and Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°A defeated opponent dares to challenge me?¡± Lin Mo teased. He had previously suppressed Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± Gongsun Wenhao shouted. The halberd slashed over, and the powerful force caused ripples. His attack was so powerful that it could even make Rulers turn pale. This was enough to prove his supreme battle prowess in this realm. Nonetheless, his attack, which could make a Ruler turn pale, did not cause Lin Mo to move at all. Lightning and flames spread out from his hands, and he took the blow. The terrifying power surrounding it was also offset by the flames and lightning. Even so, what surprised him was that Gongsun Wenhao had really become stronger. Under his armor, there was no longer the golden light from the first battle. His body was glowing inside instead, containing an extremely terrifying power. Lin Mo was not the only one who had an opportunity. Gongsun Wenhao had one as well, and it was not inferior to Lin Mo¡¯s. ¡°He must¡¯ve cultivated a body-tempering martial art that isn¡¯t weaker than the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art.¡± Lin Mo sighed. As expected of the Gongsun clan. To be able to become the overlord of Cloud State, they must have a strong foundation. Gongsun Wenhao was also surprised. He felt that Lin Mo¡¯s attainment in his physical body was extraordinary, and he had even been able to suppress him last time. He thought that he would be able to quickly deal with Lin Mo or even suppress him after he had succeeded in attaining the Golden Body. After all, his physical body had reached a certain limit and could not go any further. Despite that, from the looks of it, Lin Mo¡¯s strength was clearly stronger, and his physical body had also reached its peak. Even so, that was all. Gongsun Wenhao was confident that he was invincible in the world, even if his ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rank was low at the moment. It would only be a matter of time before he surpassed and defeated those people. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely kill you in today¡¯s battle.¡± Gongsun Wenhao stood proudly in the air and looked down at Lin Mo. This was the attitude of a superior toward a subordinate. Even though Lin Mo¡¯s strength was not weaker than his, he was still confident that he could kill Lin Mo. ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant. You won¡¯t be able to keep your face when you get slapped later.¡± Lin Mo gave him a sidelong glance. Everyone was stunned, and even those who wanted to make a move stopped. Was Gongsun Wenhao really going to make a move? if that was the case, then the battlefield was not something they could get involved in. The two geniuses with supreme combat power were about to fight even before the Kun Peng inheritance appeared. ¡°Hehe, Gongsun Wenhao, you¡¯ve lost your self-control.¡± Not far away, Teng Feng walked up after watching the show for a while. He did not let Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao fight. Now that the Kun Peng inheritance was about to appear, he was happy to see both parties injured. Nevertheless, the situation was a bit special. Mu Yuzhu had been watching from the side, and Gongsun Wenhao obviously could not deal with the Qilin girl and the God Devouring Body by himself. If Teng Feng did not show up now, it would be impossible for him to join forces with Gongsun Wenhao to take down the Qilin girl later. ¡°He¡¯s just a rogue cultivator. How dare he be so arrogant? Just surround him and kill him. He won¡¯t be able to stir up anything.¡± Teng Feng smiled and told Gongsun Wenhao not to be angry. He told him to rest and conserve his energy as he waited for the Heritage Land to open. ¡°Young Master, please calm down. Let me take care of this fiend.¡± A Ruler from the Gongsun clan stepped out. He was going to fight on behalf of Gongsun Wenhao. He was very powerful and was a Ruler, representing the strongest combat power in this place. The moment he stepped out, he immediately attacked. He gathered a group of people and surrounded Lin Mo. An earth-shattering attack came, enveloping Lin Mo. Many unrelated people retreated, not daring to approach. ¡°It¡¯s indeed troublesome to not have anyone by my side¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. In this situation, he would be exhausted to death just by the opponents taking turns to fight him. Even though he had the God Devouring Body, he could not keep fighting. He rushed into the sky and took the initiative to meet the attack. This time, he did not choose to test it but directly used martial arts. When the Cloud Piercing Four Spirits was used, a single attack killed more than half of the people who were attacking him. The temperature of the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame was not something that just anyone could resist. ¡°Let¡¯s end the battle quickly.¡± Lin Mo growled, and the image of a Kun Peng appeared behind him. The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram lit up, and the power of extreme Yang and Yin appeared. The diagram covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire sky. ¡°Kun Peng¡¯s art?¡± Some people cried out as they looked at this scene in disbelief. Could it be that the rumors were true and that Lin Mo had obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng? If that was the case, what was the point of the Heritage Land? ¡°It¡¯s not the true inheritance, just one of the techniques. It¡¯s very powerful, but it¡¯s not complete,¡± an elder spoke and pointed out the flaws and essence of Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng art. Even so, the people were shocked. Looking at the Taiji Diagram that covered the sky, they were shocked. This was because the power was really strong, and it was faintly discernible, forming a slight resonance with the Heritage Land. Lin Mo extended both his hands, and two opposing forces shot out. The power of extreme Yin transformed into a vast ocean with countless runes within it. It was as if a huge fish was appearing inside. In the next moment, the power of Yang manifested and formed a golden-winged roc. The roc flapped its wings, causing water to hit 1,500 kilometers. It soared 45,000 kilometers up to the sky. Kun Peng runes appeared between heaven and earth. The Ruler from the Gongsun clan was extremely shocked, and he used all his strength. He launched his most terrifying attack, but the golden roc shattered it. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A miserable shriek was heard. The Ruler¡¯s body trembled violently as he was sent flying. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and one of his arms was torn off by the golden claws of the roc. Blood gushed out and painted the place red. Everyone was shocked. They had only just exchanged blows, yet a Ruler had been completely defeated. The people from the Gongsun clan rushed forward and saved him, not allowing Lin Mo to finish him off. Gongsun Wenhao did not look good. He looked at Lin Mo and wanted to attack. Lin Mo did not pay any attention to this. The Heritage Land was about to open, and Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao would not make a move. As for the others, none of them managed to escape. Lin Mo used the Mismatched Yin Yang, and the power of extreme Yang and Yin wreaked havoc. Anyone who touched it would die without a doubt, and even their corpses would not be complete. This made everyone¡¯s hearts beat rapidly. On the other side of the battlefield, the situation was also showing a one-sided situation. The Gray Water Dragon that was a Ruler was slain by Qilin, and its blood splattered in the air. Everyone understood that Lin Mo and Qilin were not just saying it for fun. They really could sweep away the disciples of the great sects. If one was not a prodigy who could suppress an entire state, one would not be valued by them. However, how many such people were there? If Lin Mo and Qilin were not included, there were only three such people. That said, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s attitude was not clear, so Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng did not dare to act rashly. Chapter 620 - 620 Enjoy While You Can 620 Enjoy While You Can ¡°Lin Mo, quickly set up the pot. This is a Water Dragon that is a Ruler. It has a lot of essences. Let¡¯s make a stew with it and drink it.¡± Qilin ended the battle. Although she had the temperament of a child, her intelligence was complete. Besides, she had been influenced by Lin Mo during this time. She knew that she could not be soft-hearted when facing the enemy, or she would be putting herself in danger. ¡°There are so many people here¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry. What if the Heritage Land opens when I¡¯m making the stew?¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? They¡¯re just a bunch of little rascals.¡± Qilin raised her head and looked at the others with disdain. A group of people blinded by profit only knew that the Qilin blood in her body was a great supplement, but they did not understand that she was being used. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to the back first.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Well, he was also craving food. The Kun Peng Nest was about to open, so he could relax a little. ¡°Oh, right, this is probably a treasure. Don¡¯t lose it.¡± Qilin threw over an ancient bronze mirror with an obvious crack on it. Despite that, there were no spiritual Qi fluctuations from it. It had no runes, and even the material was very fragile. Lin Mo held it in his hand and felt that he could crush it if he used force. ¡°How do you know?¡± Lin Mo was curious. ¡°It¡¯s my gut feeling. Trust me, my gut feeling has always been accurate.¡± Qilin¡¯s face was filled with pride. The divine beast Qilin was an auspicious beast, especially the White Qilin, which represented auspiciousness. If she thought it was a good thing, it must be a treasure. Nonetheless, she could not tell what it was and was not interested in it, so she threw it to Lin Mo. ¡°Interesting.¡± After playing with it for a while, Lin Mo stored it in the system space. After a while, the system¡¯s voice was heard, telling him what it was. [A Demon Sealing Mirror imitation. Forged 1.73 million years ago. It¡¯s already damaged, and the runes have crumbled. The spirituality of the material is missing, and it¡¯s already useless.] ¡°It¡¯s useless, but Qilin even said that it¡¯s a treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little disappointed. The system¡¯s appraisal could not be wrong. Since the system said that it was useless, then it must be useless. Although Qilins represented auspiciousness, it seemed that they could only sense that this item was a treasure when it was in good condition. Now that it was damaged, it was no different from a scrap. [The Demon Sealing Mirror was once controlled by the Kun Peng. It has forged many imitations and stored the Kun Peng¡¯s runes in them. If you can activate it, you might be able to find the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance.] Lin Mo was disappointed and had decided to throw it away. Who knew, the system¡¯s voice was heard once more. The supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng was a great opportunity. In addition, the Kun Peng controlled the real Demon Sealing Mirror. If it could catch the eye of the Kun Peng, it must not be weak. Even though countless years had passed, it might still be able to release its divine might. Although it was damaged, Lin Mo could still find an opportunity to auction it. If it was repaired, it would be a supreme opportunity. ¡°Why are you smiling? Is it a good treasure?¡± Qilin patted Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder and asked in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s a replica of the Demon Sealing Mirror, but it¡¯s broken. I saw some information about the Kun Peng from it,¡± Lin Mo explained with a smile. The little girl was truly an auspicious beast, and a symbol of auspiciousness. Ever since he met her, she had been bringing him good luck. ¡°Hehe, I knew this was something good.¡± Qilin smiled smugly and hopped away. She began to deal with the Gray Water Dragon, removing its scales. At the forefront of the Heritage Land, some people were paying attention to Lin Mo and Qilin. After seeing this scene, they could not help but be stunned. ¡°B*stard¡­¡± The eyes of the Water Dragons were about to pop out of their sockets. They wanted to rush up and tear Lin Mo and the Qilin into pieces. ¡°D*mn it! When have the Water Dragons ever been humiliated like this?¡± A young Water Dragon disciple gritted his teeth but was helpless and could only watch. The rest of the people¡¯s mouths twitched, and they were speechless. At that moment, Lin Mo had set up a bronze cauldron. Qilin had cut the Water Dragon into pieces of dried meat and placed them into the cauldron. ¡°You always carry the spirit spring with you. Do you do this often?¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo¡¯s swift movements and asked in a daze. This was new to her. In the past, when she hunted demonic beasts, she would refine their blood essences and directly devour them. The strong vitality in the blood essences was a great supplement to her. She did not expect what Lin Mo was doing to be an option¡­ ¡°A friend taught me. She said that life is short, and we should enjoy it while we can. ¡°The journey of cultivation is boring. It¡¯s good to enjoy once in a while.¡± Lin Mo laughed. Bai Luo had said this before and influenced Lin Die as well, teaching her to become a foodie. Qilin¡¯s life was miserable. So many people had thoughts about her when she was just born. She must be very depressed. It was better to let her enjoy this moment. ¡°This is great! You can do this during cultivation? ¡± Qilin¡¯s big eyes blinked, and she felt as if her life had been inspired. ¡°What do you think about adding this in?¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out an exquisite white jade lotus that was emitting a faint light. As the light flowed, golden light would occasionally appear in the lotus flower. In the next moment, it would turn dark green. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to take out the third-grade Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus.¡± Qilin¡¯s eyes lit up. If it was any other time, she would definitely take a bite and eat a few petals first. Now, she decided to put it in the bronze cauldron and cook it with the Water Dragon meat. ¡°I¡¯m afraid this pot of stew is worth more than a billion high-grade spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo gulped as he watched the Qilin put the entire third-grade Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus in. After that, he added a few more elixirs. He could not add any more divine herbs, or else Qilin would be overfed. After adding a few earth-grade elixirs, everyone¡¯s nose was filled with a fragrant smell. Some people¡¯s mouths twitched. They looked at the soup that Lin Mo and Qilin had made and swallowed their saliva¡­ ¡°This is too extravagant. The divine medicine was used just like that¡­¡± Some people were heartbroken. They were elixir alchemists. Seeing Lin Mo waste the divine medicine, they wanted to rush up and snatch it away. ¡°It smells so good. I¡¯ve decided to cultivate like this in the future.¡± Qilin sniffed the fragrance from the cauldron and could not wait any longer. It was too alluring. ¡°We¡¯ll have to prepare a lot of ingredients then. Some exotic beast meat will be most suitable.¡± Lin Mo had a smile on his face. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed himself like this. ¡°Ingredients? There¡¯s a pile of them here. I don¡¯t feel any guilt eating them¡­¡± Qilin turned and looked around the Heritage Land. There were all kinds of living creatures here, and there were countless rare and strange beasts. Moreover, those living creatures had all wanted to take her Qilin blood. ¡°Hmph, how presumptuous.¡± Some humans snorted coldly and did not care about Qilin¡¯s gaze. On the other hand, the Water Dragons¡¯ faces were ashen. Their only Ruler in the Kun Peng nest had died. The Water Dragon meat had been used to make soup, and now they were being targeted as ingredients¡­ ¡°It¡¯s almost cooked. It¡¯ll be ready in a while¡­¡± Lin Mo activated his Dao flames and looked around vigilantly. This was a huge pot of tonic. He had added a third-grade Heaven-Connecting Spirit-Drawing Lotus and a lot of elixirs. Moreover, the meat was that of a Water Dragon¡ªa Gray Water Dragon that was a Ruler. After boiling the stew for an hour, Lin Mo opened the lid of the bronze cauldron, and a strong aroma wafted out. ¡°It¡¯s too fragrant¡­¡± Chapter 621 - 621 The Heritage Land Opens 621 The Heritage Land Opens ¡°Let¡¯s eat. I haven¡¯t eaten like this in a long time.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. He picked up a piece of Water Dragon meat and ate it. It melted in his mouth, and the medicinal fragrance of the divine medicine was mixed with it. The fragrance spread out, and the people nearby swallowed their saliva when they saw this scene. This was a cauldron of precious medicine, and divine medicine had been added to it. Eating it would definitely be very nourishing. ¡°It¡¯s delicious. I feel like I¡¯ve lived the past two years in vain. Why didn¡¯t I think of this¡­?¡± Qilin¡¯s face was filled with enjoyment. When she was hunted down two years ago, she had only hastily refined her blood essence to recover herself. She did not hold back any of the elixirs she picked and ate them all. Their taste was naturally not good. Compared to the pot of stew in front of her, they were bad. ¡°Will you really be fine after eating it? Don¡¯t break through accidentally.¡± Lin Mo said worriedly. Qilin did not have the God Devouring Body. After eating this pot of Water Dragon meat, she would only be one step away from breaking through. If she did break through, would she not be able to enter the ancient battlefield? There were countless opportunities there, and he wanted to go in with Qilin so that they could look out for each other. Qilin did not pay any attention to him and ate heartily. Soon, the Water Dragon meat in the bronze cauldron was divided between the two. The two of them each ate half of it, not wasting any of the soup. They were very satisfied. Qilin burped and lay on the grass with a satisfied expression, not wanting to move. ¡°It¡¯s so fragrant. I¡¯m so full¡­¡± This was the most pleasurable moment since she was born. Even when she stole the jade seals from the Dragon Pavilion and took a little revenge, she was not as satisfied as she was at this moment. ¡°Don¡¯t fall asleep, or we¡¯ll suffer a great loss.¡± Lin Mo activated the Soul Devouring Art and devoured the vast medicinal power in his body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve dissolved the medicinal power to make up for the deficiency of being born early. What are we going to eat for our next meal?¡± Qilin licked her lips. She had just finished eating and was already looking forward to what she would eat next. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after we enter.¡± Lin Mo smiled. With such a little girl by his side, the journey would be more fun. After another hour of rest, there was finally movement in the Heritage Land ahead. A violent vibration was heard, and the space began to tremble as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. A huge crack appeared in the sky. It was as if the sky had been split open, and no one knew what was behind the crack. However, they knew that if they wanted the inheritance of the Kun Peng, they would have to pass through the crack. ¡°It¡¯s opened. Let¡¯s go and seize the first opportunity,¡± people cried out in alarm, and many people rushed out. There was a lot of chaotic mist in the crack, and nothing could be seen clearly. After those people rushed in, there were no strange phenomena. Even so, the crack was still expanding, and people could vaguely hear the ancient sounds of worship from within. Mysterious runes appeared in the chaotic mist, looking very sacred. The Heritage Land had opened, and some people had entered. People could no longer remain calm. Even if it was a trap, they had to charge in. Otherwise, they would regret it for the rest of their lives if someone else obtained the Kun Peng inheritance. ¡°Gongsun Wenhao and the others went in. Mu Yuzhu also went in. What about us?¡± Qilin was not in a hurry and asked Lin Mo. Unknowingly, she seemed to believe Lin Mo¡¯s words without a doubt. ¡°Link our auras together. Don¡¯t be separated from each other,¡± Lin Mo said. He grabbed Qilin¡¯s hand to prevent the teleportation formation behind the crack from separating them. The two of them entered the mist together. Their bodies were baptized by the chaotic Qi, and they felt as if the dirt on their bodies had been washed away. ¡°Kun Peng¡ªit¡¯s the aura of the Kun Peng. I can sense it. I can¡¯t be wrong,¡± Qilin said. She was sure that there was something left behind by the Kun Peng. It was even possible that the place where the Kun Peng died had its remaining blood essence. ¡°There¡¯s a pool of divine liquid over there! My God, someone has directly broken through to be a Ruler! In the Heritage Land, many people exclaimed. The first person to rush in was a powerhouse at the peak of the Almighty realm. He encountered a pool of divine liquid the moment he entered, and after soaking in it for a short while, he directly broke through to become a Ruler. People could not sit still anymore. Even Gongsun Wenhao made his move, and so did the major forces. ¡°There are too many people fighting for it. It¡¯s not easy to fight for it. Let¡¯s go somewhere else.¡± Lin Mo pulled back Qilin, who was about to rush out and snatch it. Even if she could snatch some, she would have to fight with Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao. The loss would outweigh the gain. There was nothing here that could compare to the inheritance of the Kun Peng. Moreover, in the system space, the Demon Sealing Mirror replica that Qilin had just given him had some strange movements. Lin Mo could sense that there seemed to be something deep in the Heritage Land that was attracting the Demon Sealing Mirror. As for the divine liquid, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng had temporarily joined forces. Mu Yuzhu avoided them and went deep into the Heritage Land. Although the surrounding people were angry that the pool of divine liquid had been obtained by those two, they did not dare to say anything. As Lin Mo and Qilin went deeper, they realized that there were many treasures in the Heritage Land. After walking for a short while, they came across a type of jade essence that was blue in color. Despite that, it was not as good as the divine liquid they had seen at the beginning. That said, it was still very precious. When Lin Mo took it away, he realized that it was half a step into heaven-grade. If it was added during pill refinement, it would have unexpected effects. If Lin Mo were to sell it to a pill alchemist, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of spirit stones. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it has no other use except for alchemy.¡± Lin Mo sighed with regret. This type of jade essence had a lot of limitations. Although it was precious, its value had to be discounted. The sounds of fighting could be heard from all over the Heritage Land. It had just been opened, but chaotic battles had begun. Many people obtained benefits, and some even dug up divine medicines. In the end, they were besieged by a group of people. In such a situation, even a Ruler would have a hard time. They could only flee in a sorry state. The group continued to venture deeper, and before long, they entered a crimson sea. The bottom of the sea was still burning with raging flames. Such a spectacle caused countless people to be stunned. This Heritage Land was so mystical. ¡°This can be considered a Yin Yang Lake, but it¡¯s not formed naturally. It should be created by the Kun Peng with the power of extreme Yang and Yin.¡± Someone sighed. Someone stepped into the Yin Yang Lake and instantly felt two different forces, which further confirmed his guess. ¡°What a big piece of the Yin Yang Jade. We¡¯re rich.¡± The group of people roared in excitement. A large piece of jade was found at the bottom of the lake. The jade stone was white and black, and it was the size of a small mountain. It was definitely of heaven-grade. ¡°Snatch it. We can¡¯t miss this.¡± ¡°Die!¡± Lin Mo shouted and attacked at the same time as Qilin. The people who discovered it were shocked and hurriedly blocked them. Nevertheless, since no one had reached the Ruler realm in this area, Lin Mo and the Qilin did this with ease. A few minutes later, the mountain-sized Yin Yang Jade was stored in the system space by Lin Mo. Although the surrounding people were furious, they did not dare to say anything. [Yin Yang Jade, heaven-grade tier 5, pure quality. It has the power to balance Yin and Yang, and there¡¯s a ball of Kun Peng blood essence wrapped in it.] [If you cultivate the Kun Peng Divine Art, you will be able to quickly grasp the essence of it and master the art in a short time.] The system¡¯s voice sounded. This piece of Yin Yang Jade had reached heaven-grade tier 5, and it even had Kun Peng blood essence inside. ¡°What a great opportunity¡­¡± Chapter 622 - 622 Kun Pengs Palace 622 Kun Peng¡¯s Palace ¡°Boom!¡± Behind, a terrifying explosion could be heard. Some Rulers heard that a Yin Yang Jade the size of a small mountain had appeared. There was not just one person. There were five Rulers, and they were all extremely powerful. As soon as they arrived, they locked their eyes on Lin Mo and Qilin, looking at them with greedy eyes. ¡°What are you looking at? Are you looking for death?¡± Qilin roared in anger. She was not afraid at all and instead threatened the five people. ¡°It¡¯s not good to fight for a long time.¡± Lin Mo pulled her behind him and looked at the empty space with vigilance. This was the Yin Yang Lake built by the Kun Peng. The two forces were very strong. To Lin Mo, this place was like heaven. The tremendous power was inexhaustible. He had the God Devouring Body, so he could always maintain his peak condition here. In addition, the power of the Mismatched Yin Yang could be exerted more effectively. Even if Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng joined forces, they could forget about defeating Lin Mo here. In fact, if they were not careful, they might even be killed by Lin Mo. ¡°Let¡¯s retreat first. This place is heaven for the God Devouring Body. It¡¯s not worth it,¡± one of the Rulers said. They were not fools. They would not be rigid by the sight of treasures. Knowing Lin Mo¡¯s combat power, they did not dare to take the risk. Although they were temporarily working together, it did not mean that they would not stab each other in the back. ¡°Quickly dive to the bottom of the sea. There¡¯s a palace there, and it seems to be the palace of the Kun Peng.¡± Someone shouted. Although the Yin Yang Lake had a great impact on them, the temptation of entering the Kun Peng¡¯s palace was too great. ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± Lin Mo said as he flew down with Qilin. The Yin Yang Lake was very deep¡ªtens of thousands of kilometers deep. After diving for more than ten minutes, they finally reached the bottom of the Yin Yang Lake. Flames spread, but no one felt hot. Instead, an extremely cold force was wreaking havoc. After it entered one¡¯s body, it changed and turned into a hot feeling. After searching for a while, they saw a palace. It was extremely huge and resplendent as if it was cast from gold. The power of the Yin Yang Lake was the strongest here, but it was not eroding everyone. There was no lake water inside, but the spiritual Qi had faintly turned into a watery swamp, proving that this place was extraordinary. ¡°Get lost.¡± As soon as they stepped in, they were attacked. Someone had entered first and set up an ambush to ambush them. Lin Mo and Qilin attacked at the same time, displaying their martial arts. Lin Mo¡¯s hands turned into claws, and he seemed to have transformed into a roc as he struck out with his sharp claws. The chest of one of the ambushers was instantly torn apart, and blood spurted out. Many people were shocked by this move. When they saw that it was Lin Mo who had attacked, they were shocked. They wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Qilin waved her hand and released a Qilin pattern. A terrifying explosion spread. Lin Mo and Qilin joined forces and looked down at the place, killing all the people who tried to sneak attack them. Some of the people who came in later were shocked when they saw this. Lin Mo and Qilin were simply too powerful. With just a few moves, they had torn apart the Almighty powerhouses one by one. ¡°These two are too strong. They¡¯ll snatch all the opportunities. Let¡¯s work together.¡± Someone said, encouraging the surrounding people to attack and kill Lin Mo and Qilin together. And as long as they killed them, they would be able to get a large piece of Yin Yang Jade and the Qilin blood that they had been dreaming of. Although the risk was high, the benefits were also great. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s soul locked onto these people the moment they thought of attacking. A powerful force exploded forth as he continuously brandished his claws. The Kun Peng Claws were incomparably terrifying and could cut through all obstacles. They were unstoppable. No one could stop Lin Mo¡¯s attack. Some of them were even at the peak of the Almighty realm. However, against Lin Mo¡¯s attacks, they were forced to retreat, and the magic tools in their hands even broke. ¡°If you attack me, you¡¯ll have to pay the price.¡± Lin Mo sneered and tore the few people who were approaching him into pieces. A bloody mist burst out around him, and there was no one in front of him. In the distance, many people saw this and immediately felt their blood run cold. Lin Mo was like a god of death. People retreated and did not dare to get close. In an instant, there was no one within several kilometers of Lin Mo and Qilin. A few Rulers flew over from behind. When they picked up the strong smell of blood on Lin Mo and Qilin, they could not help but feel terrified. A trace of fear appeared in their eyes. They did not provoke the two. The key at the moment was to obtain the treasure. ¡°Ah, he¡¯s not making a move. He must be a sea turtle. Sea turtle soup must be very nourishing.¡± Qilin looked at one of the retreating figures. That was a Ruler with great combat power. His true form was a turtle, but it was a pity that he did not dare to make a move. ¡°Don¡¯t just think about eating. Finding the inheritance is more important,¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. Everyone placed great importance on the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. Only the little girl was in a hurry to find medicinal fields, elixirs, and so on. ¡°I don¡¯t care about the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance.¡± Qilin pursed her lips and spoke in an uncaring manner. Lin Mo¡¯s face darkened when he heard this. If this little girl¡¯s words were to spread, many people would probably vomit blood in anger. Even so, she was right. After all, she had the Qilin¡¯s inheritance. Although it was incomplete at the moment, it would be perfected one day, and that day would come very soon. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you can¡¯t get it, you can take my mother as your master. I¡¯ll teach you the complete divine arts of the Qilin.¡± Qilin patted Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder and consoled him like a young adult. ¡°You¡¯re so willing¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. This little girl was giving away her inheritance so casually. ¡°By the way, if you don¡¯t need the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, why did you come to the Kun Peng Nest?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°I was looking for you.¡± Qilin said casually. She was honest that her purpose for coming here was to find Lin Mo. ¡°Otherwise, do you think I would come here? There are many treasures here, but I can rely on my luck as an auspicious beast and do well outside without worrying about being discovered.¡± Qilin spread out her hands, and the words that came out of her mouth almost angered Lin Mo to death. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re good.¡± Lin Mo was convinced. The little Qilin was really lucky¡­ ¡°I don¡¯t want your divine art. In the future, don¡¯t teach the Qilin Divine Arts to others. Otherwise, if the enemies find out, you¡¯ll be in a very passive position,¡± Lin Mo warned her. He was very helpless. Even Lil Die knew she could not reveal her inherited divine arts. Why did this little girl want to give it to him so casually? ¡°The Ancient Qilin Tree won¡¯t lie to me. Anyone who can obtain the benefits of the Ancient Qilin Tree won¡¯t attack me. I can trust them completely.¡± Qilin said nonchalantly. At the same time, she pouted and looked at Lin Mo in dissatisfaction. Lin Mo seemed to be treating her like a child. This was unforgivable. She glared at Lin Mo to express her dissatisfaction. ¡°Why is that?¡± This time, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be curious. Was the Ancient Qilin Tree that mysterious? ¡°This involves a very mysterious power that even the saints have never mastered. It can¡¯t be explained.¡± Qilin shook her head. She did not know why either. Despite that, the Ancient Qilin Tree was the most precious treasure of the Qilins. In fact, apart from the Qilins, not many people had obtained any benefits from it. Since Lin Mo could use it to cultivate twice, it was enough to prove that he had no ill intentions toward her and could be trusted. Chapter 623 - 623 Heaven Illuminating Lamp 623 Heaven Illuminating Lamp ¡°That would be my honor.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had thought that the Ancient Qilin Tree could be used as long as he had the Qilin blood. What was the mysterious power Qilin was talking about? ¡°There¡¯s a treasure up ahead. It should be a magic tool.¡± At this moment, Qilin suddenly spoke. She looked ahead. Her perception was very sharp, and she could sense it in advance. ¡°But many people are fighting for it. There are seven Rulers.¡± She looked at Lin Mo. Magic weapons were not of much use to her but seemed to be of use to Lin Mo. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Since they encountered it, there was no reason not to go see it. The two of them flew forward. The palace was very large and wide. After passing through the main hall, they entered a passage. They followed the passage and entered a secret room. Although it was called a secret chamber, the space here was very large. It was not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people fighting inside. Moreover, the surrounding walls were extremely hard. The battle between the seven Rulers had caused cracks to appear in the space, but the ground and the surrounding walls were still intact. ¡°Isn¡¯t that the ancient bronze lamp at the entrance of the Kun Peng Nest?¡± Lin Mo was stunned as he saw the treasure they were fighting over. This was just a magic tool used by the Kun Peng to test the intruders. Could this be considered a treasure? ¡°Trust me, this thing is definitely not simple.¡± Qilin was full of energy and was ready to go up and fight for it. ¡°There are three of them. Let¡¯s grab one first.¡± Lin Mo and Qilin stepped forward. Although the seven Rulers were all extremely powerful, they were all fighting for their own lives, trying to prevent the other party from obtaining the ancient bronze lamps. Lin Mo did not hesitate and joined the battle. Working with Qilin, they quickly grabbed an ancient bronze lamp. ¡°B*stard, these two clearly didn¡¯t know each other before. How did they join hands?¡± One of the Rulers cursed. Was Lin Mo not greedy for the Qilin blood at all? The rest of the people sighed at Lin Mo¡¯s strength. He had obtained an ancient bronze lamp so quickly. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Mo and Qilin retreated. In order to protect Lin Mo from getting the ancient bronze lamp, Qilin¡¯s back was attacked by two Rulers. If it was someone else, they would have been disabled or even killed. However, such an attack did not cause any serious injuries to Qilin. Even so, the scales on her back were broken, revealing her snow-white skin and a few drops of bright red blood. Despite that, her injuries healed very quickly. Qilin¡¯s body changed, and her scales appeared once again to form a defense. ¡°It¡¯s fine. My physical strength is not any weaker than yours. Don¡¯t underestimate me.¡± Qilin smiled smugly. The other party did not dare to use his full strength as well and was always on guard against sneak attacks from the people around him. ¡°Another magic tool has appeared. Could this be the Kun Peng¡¯s magic tool refining room?¡± In the distance, someone cried out in alarm because another magic tool had appeared. It appeared from the cracked space. This time, the magic weapon was extremely powerful, even more so than the ancient bronze lamps. Without exception, these were all heaven-grade magic items that were casually refined by the Kun Peng and sealed here. ¡°Did we suffer a loss? Are these the treasures I sensed?¡± Qilin pointed at the magic tools flying in the air, wanting to snatch them. Nonetheless, since Lin Mo did not act rashly, she could not do anything about it. She could only urge Lin Mo to act quickly. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. We can¡¯t possibly get all of them.¡± Lin Mo gestured for Qilin to calm down. He stored the ancient bronze lamp in the system space. Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Heaven Illuminating Lamp, a magic tool made by the Kun Peng using the flesh and blood of a saint as lamp oil. It has a sealing effect and contains Kun Peng runes. There are a total of nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps, and all of them together can activate the Kun Peng Seal in the Demon Sealing Mirror.] The system¡¯s introduction made Lin Mo very happy. This thing was a Heaven Illuminating Lamp, and there were a total of nine of them. Could it be the nine lamps at the beginning? ¡°There are three lamps here, so where are the other lamps?¡± Lin Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart. He knew that this could not be made public. Otherwise, everyone in the Heritage Land would attack him. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re truly my lucky star¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed in admiration. He felt that he was getting closer to the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m an auspicious beast.¡± Qilin smiled complacently. She was very pleased with the praise. ¡°Let¡¯s go for the magic tools. Don¡¯t be greedy. The most important thing is to get the remaining two ancient bronze lamps.¡± Lin Mo instructed and made the first move. In order not to arouse suspicion, he set his target as the closest magic tool. It was a light green divine sword, and it emitted a very strong Sword Qi. No one could withstand the attack of the Sword Qi. Even though many people wanted it, they could not get close. This Sword Qi would give even the Rulers a headache. ¡°Go get your sword. I¡¯ll block these people.¡± A layer of scales appeared on Qilin¡¯s body, forming a layer of armor that wrapped around her. In an instant, her combat power increased greatly, and she swept away everything. Anyone who got close to her would be attacked by her, and she quickly cleared the area. No one dared to get close, so everyone could only leave in anger. At the same time, they were also looking at Lin Mo. This divine sword was not simple. It was of a very high grade, and the Sword Qi it released was very difficult to block. If even Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body could not withstand it, then there was no need for them to fight for it. Treasures were good, but they were useless if they could not get them. ¡°Clang!¡± The sharp Sword Qi slashed at Lin Mo¡¯s body. A lot of Sword Qi also surfaced around him, but they were completely useless against the light green sword and were cut off. Lin Mo¡¯s body was bleeding. The sharp Sword Qi had cut his body open. If he did not retreat at that moment, he would probably be severely injured by the sharp sword. ¡°My Sword Qi repels it. How troublesome¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and slowly approached the divine sword. He had no choice but to use the Abyssal Devouring. As soon as the God Devouring Body¡¯s killing move was used, the power contained in the divine sword began to be devoured. The Sword Qi weakened slightly, and Lin Mo¡¯s injuries recovered. The boundless power in his body formed even more Sword Qi and began to resist the divine sword¡¯s Sword Qi. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. You¡¯re just a rootless duckweed. Without a sufficient energy source, you can¡¯t withstand such a huge consumption.¡± Lin Mo was enraged and increased the intensity of the Abyssal Devouring. His face was slightly pale. Maintaining the Abyssal Devouring for a long time was not a small burden for him. Even so, it was all worth it under Qilin¡¯s nervous gaze. Lin Mo slowly approached the divine sword, and the faint green light on it began to weaken. It was gradually unable to hold on. ¡°Swish!¡± With a soft sound, Lin Mo grabbed the hilt of the divine sword with his palm. He could feel the power of rejection coming from his hand as the Sword Qi attacked his palm. A powerful force spread, but it quickly weakened. After more than ten minutes of stalemate, the sword light on the divine sword disappeared, and it lost all power to resist. Finally, Lin Mo also kept the divine sword in the system space. As long as he kept it, it would be completely his, and no one could take it away¡­ Chapter 624 - 624 Fighting for the Supreme Treasure 624 Fighting for the Supreme Treasure [A heaven-grade tier 6 magic tool, the Green Cloud Sword. Made of pure Green Cloud Jade.] [There are runes forged by the Kun Peng inside. The treasure will be left to future generations. However, due to the runes, the person who obtains the treasure can only obtain one magic tool from this place.] The system¡¯s voice was heard, explaining the Green Cloud Sword¡¯s origins in detail. What made Lin Mo feel helpless was that out of all the treasures here, he could only obtain the Green Cloud Sword. ¡°Wait, what about the Heaven Illuminating Lamp?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. He had obtained the Heaven Illuminating Lamp. If that was the case, how could he have obtained the Green Cloud Sword? Also, the Heaven Illuminating Lamp was related to the inheritance of the Kun Peng. If everyone could only take one, would it not be impossible to gather all nine? [The Heaven Illuminating Lamp is a treasure that was used to seal the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. It is not included in the list.] The system replied quickly. The Heaven Illuminating Lamps were uncountable, so one could fight for them as one wished. ¡°Qilin, each person can only get one of the treasures here. Other than the ancient bronze lamp, do you have any other magic tool that you like?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had obtained enough benefits, so it was Qilin¡¯s turn next. He could not be the only one gaining while Qilin did not get anything, right? ¡°The one I like¡­¡± Qilin was startled, and she began to seriously think. She looked at the dazzling array of magic tools here, not knowing what to choose for a moment. Finally, under Lin Mo¡¯s speechless gaze, she turned her gaze to the middle of the battlefield. There was an old man there. He was a Ruler and looked a little familiar. Lin Mo could not recall where he had seen him before. ¡°I want to drink turtle soup. It must be delicious.¡± Qilin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. She did not think much of the magic tools here. For her, she could fight against a heaven-grade magic tool with her bare hands. This was the confidence of the divine beast Qilin¡ªthe confidence of her powerful strength. ¡°So it¡¯s him¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. He had met this person again. Previously, Qilin said that turtle soup would definitely be delicious and even urged him to hunt the person down. Even though the sea turtle was very hostile to Lin Mo and the Qilin, it did not attack them, so they could not kill it directly. ¡°Be more reliable. Grab a magic tool first.¡± Lin Mo knocked on her head. After the girl ate Water Dragon meat once, she became addicted to it. She did not forget about eating at all times¡­ ¡°Alright then, let¡¯s grab that one and hunt while we¡¯re at it.¡± Qilin pointed at the center of the battlefield. There was a ball of light there. It was very strong. It was definitely an extremely powerful magic tool, but people could not see what was inside. Without a doubt, that was the most precious magic tool in the field. Of course, this was under the premise that people did not know about the Heaven Illuminating Lamp. Otherwise, the scene would have been even crazier. ¡°Alright, there¡¯s also an unclaimed ancient bronze lamp there. If there¡¯s a chance, take it first,¡± Lin Mo said. At this time, the Green Cloud Sword in his system space had completely lost its power. He imprinted his soul on it, and the Kun Peng runes appeared, recording his soul imprint. He could only take away the Green Cloud Sword and the Heaven Illuminating Lamps, nothing else. Even so, he could still help someone else snatch magic tools. He could also help Qilin get one. ¡°Human God Devouring Body, you¡¯ve gone too far. You¡¯ve only just obtained a powerful magical tool,¡± an old woman said. She was in a half-human, half-beast state with a pair of golden-red bat wings on her back. Her hands had transformed into sharp claws. The old woman was a bat-type demonic beast, but her specific species was not clear. Nonetheless, she was extremely fast, and she was able to move around the battlefield with ease. The reason Lin Mo targeted her was that she had an ancient bronze lamp in her hand. ¡°It¡¯s just a fight for an opportunity. If you give me the ancient bronze lamp, I won¡¯t do anything,¡± Lin Mo said frankly. Of the three lamps, one was ownerless, one had been claimed by him, and the last one was with this woman. ¡°It¡¯s just an ancient bronze lamp that the Kun Peng used to test one¡¯s talent. What do you want it for?¡± The old woman¡¯s expression changed, somewhat puzzled. She had used her speed advantage to obtain the lantern. After checking it, she found that it was useless except to test her talent. Now that Lin Mo had come to snatch it, was there any special meaning to it? ¡°You also have one on you. Why are you fighting an old woman over it?¡± The old woman said indifferently, trying to fish for information. ¡°It¡¯s useless to only have one lamp to test your talent. Cut the crap. Hand it over and I won¡¯t attack you.¡± Lin Mo raised his hand, and a light green sword appeared. With the Kun Peng runes in it, it would be easy to refine the magic tool once he obtained it. He took it out and used it in such a short time. ¡°What a sharp sword.¡± The old woman exclaimed in surprise. Without hesitation, she also took out a magic tool, a heaven-grade spear. That said, its grade was obviously lower than that of the Green Cloud Sword, and it could only block the sword light of the Green Cloud Sword. A great battle broke out. The other party had broken through to the Ruler realm a long time ago, and her strength was at the third level. Lin Mo was caught in a tough battle, but for the sake of the lamp, he had no other choice. The surrounding people heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Mo fighting the old lady without any explanation. As long as he did not find trouble with them, they could fight for the most precious treasure with peace of mind. ¡°Another treasure is out. Hurry up and snatch it¡­¡± Everyone went crazy and attacked at the same time. There were too many magic tools here. It was simply unimaginable. There were many magic tools here. At this moment, everyone acted because everyone could only obtain one. Therefore, many people from the major forces would get one and give it to their disciples to refine and take up a spot. A chaotic battle broke out, and there were even many Rulers fighting. Qilin did not try to snatch the treasure she had her eyes on. Instead, she chased after the turtle and kept chasing. Moreover, she kept saying that she wanted to drink turtle soup, which almost angered the other party to death. Seeing this, the others did not interfere. They could not wait for Qilin to chase the turtle all the way so that they would have one less competitor. ¡°This is the complete Qilin Step. How is this possible? Did the Qilin girl pass the Qilin¡¯s supreme inheritance to you?¡± The old woman who was fighting with Lin Mo was shocked when she saw Lin Mo use the complete Nine Qilin Steps. ¡°Due to your pursuit, she didn¡¯t even awaken the complete Qilin inheritance herself. How dare you say that?¡± Lin Mo said angrily. His heart ached at the thought of Qilin being hunted down by so many people for the past two years. During this period, he had treated the little girl as his sister. Just like Lin Die, he had to take good care of her. ¡°Then you must have gotten a part of it, right? I¡¯m the executive elder of the Bat Wings Clan. I can recommend you to our clan. As long as you capture the Qilin girl, we¡¯ll do our best to nurture you. We can even¡ª¡± Before she could finish, Lin Mo rushed over with an angry expression. A powerful Sword Qi exploded and was mixed with fire and lightning. The attack became more and more frenzied. ¡°Bats shouldn¡¯t be tasty. Forget it, I¡¯ll just grind your bones and scatter your ashes.¡± Lin Mo said coldly, showing no mercy. The other party¡¯s words had aroused his killing intent. Chapter 625 - 625 Killing Rulers With All His Might 625 Killing Rulers With All His Might Since the old lady kept having thoughts about Qilin, she and Lin Mo were enemies. He would not keep trouble for the future. ¡°You? Even though you have the human God Devouring Body, the difference between us is more than just one realm. The old lady sneered. She was a third-level Ruler and was extremely powerful. She could sense that Lin Mo was only a step away from the Almighty realm. That said, in order to enter the ancient battlefield, Lin Mo would definitely suppress his cultivation and not allow himself to break through. In this way, the old lady¡¯s chances of winning would be very high. ¡°Old hag, what are you so proud of? Aren¡¯t you just a Ruler? It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t killed one before.¡± Lin Mo mocked as he slashed out with the Green Cloud Sword. The Sword Qi was covered in flames and lightning as it attacked. The other party raised her hand and waved her sharp claws, shattering the Sword Qi in a few moves. The next moment, she transformed into her original form, a three-meter-tall blood-red bat. Her bat wings were five meters long when spread. With a light flap, the space trembled, and the bat¡¯s red figure disappeared. When she reappeared, she was behind Lin Mo. Her sharp claws were about to tear his back apart. In response, Lin Mo did not even turn his head. A layer of black holes appeared around his body, and the Abyssal Devouring was activated. ¡°Seal.¡± Lin Mo shouted in a low voice. The sharp claws seemed to have fallen into a swamp when they entered the black hole, unable to move an inch. Just as the bat was about to retract its claws, it realized that one of its arms had been shackled. No matter how hard it flapped its wings, it could not break free. ¡°Kun Peng Claws!¡± Lin Mo said softly. His left hand turned into a Kun Peng¡¯s claw and landed on his opponent¡¯s arm. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A shrill scream was heard as the red bat was in pain. At this moment, it finally broke free from the sharp claws and staggered back. However, Lin Mo would not give his opponent a chance. He held the sword in his right hand and transformed his left hand into the Kun Peng¡¯s claw. A Ruler of the Bat Wings Race, and a third-level Ruler at that, was in such a sorry state. The one chasing it was only a half-step to the Almighty realm and at the ninth level. ¡°Die,¡± Lin Mo caught up and tore off the bat wings on the other party¡¯s back. After losing its wings, the red bat¡¯s speed was greatly reduced. It fell and was stomped into the ground by the Qilin runes that appeared under Lin Mo¡¯s feet. ¡°Human God Devouring Body, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± A shout was heard, and two huge bats flew over. They had transformed into their true forms and came to help. There were two more Rulers and a dozen other Almighty powerhouses. Lin Mo was besieged by more than a dozen people. They used the same martial arts at the same time, and as they complemented each other, the power was even stronger. ¡°What a joke.¡± The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind Lin Mo. Two completely different forces¡ªthe tough Yang and the cold Yin¡ªwere brewing in the Taiji Diagram. Lin Mo pointed out two fingers, and two beams of light were emitted. Perhaps because this was the bottom of the Yin Yang Lake, the power of the Mismatched Yin Yang was even stronger. The two forces that were clearly separated here existed together. This kind of environment was most suitable for using the Mismatched Yin Yang, and its power even exceeded that of the Nine Qilin Steps. ¡°Pfft!¡± Two sounds of flesh being pierced could be heard. The two Rulers who had come to help were only at the first level. Lin Mo¡¯s killing move was very difficult to block, so their chests were immediately pierced through. In just a single encounter, the two of them were heavily injured, and their combat powers were greatly reduced. They were no longer a threat to Lin Mo. As for the other Bat Wings, Lin Mo did not even need to use the Mismatched Yin Yang. They found it difficult to withstand the Green Cloud Sword¡¯s attacks. There were even some weaker ones who were directly torn apart by the powerful and terrifying Sword Qi. Blood splattered everywhere as people began to fall, and this was only the beginning. Lin Mo would not let the two Rulers go. He pointed with two more fingers and used the Mismatched Yin Yang again. This time, the power contained was even stronger. It transformed into a Kun that swam in the void and a golden roc that soared in the sky. At the same time, the red bat that was fighting Lin Mo first wanted to help. Nonetheless, Lin Mo appeared in front of it the next moment. Lin Mo took nine steps forward, and a powerful force burst out from under his feet. The Qilin patterns condensed. He took a step forward and stomped on the other party¡¯s body. ¡°Boom!¡± An explosion spread, attracting the attention of countless people. They were even more shocked when they saw Lin Mo and the others. There were three Rulers, and one of them was even on the third level. In the end, he was stomped on by Lin Mo and was severely injured. The other two Rulers were even more miserable. They were killed by Lin Mo in seconds. The power of the Kun Peng¡¯s art in the Yin Yang Lake was indeed terrifying. ¡°He¡¯s still alive. He¡¯s really lucky.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and waved his hand. Three interspatial rings were sucked by him. Two of them were taken easily by him because their owners were dead. He checked the treasures inside. ¡°No way. They¡¯re so poor¡­¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. The Bat Wing Clan should be a large clan, right? As elders, how could they only have so few treasures? There were only a few million upper spirit stones. There was not even a single earth-grade tier 9 elixir, let alone a divine herb or a half-divine herb. ¡°I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me.¡± He looked at the red bat under his feet. The Qilin patterns under his feet flickered, and he ended the other party¡¯s life. The ring on her hand lost its imprint, and Lin Mo checked the treasures within. He kept the Heaven Illuminating Lamp, which was the most important thing. No one suspected anything. His gain this time finally made him slightly satisfied. 70 million high-grade spirit stones, no heaven-grade divine medicines, three half-step heaven-grade divine medicines, and five earth-grade tier 9 elixirs. Lin Mo could not be bothered to count the rest, and he did not even bother to auction them off. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I didn¡¯t lose out on this deal.¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction and looked into the distance. There was an ancient bronze lamp there, and the people who had snatched it were a few geniuses at the peak of the half-step Almighty realm. Their talents were not weak, and they should have come from a large sect. They had also suppressed their cultivation. Their goal might be to follow the saint into the ancient battlefield. Perhaps it was because the ancient bronze lamp was of no use that it remained unclaimed even after such a long time. Lin Mo forcefully suppressed the people and successfully kept the third lamp. ¡°Where¡¯s the Qilin girl? Where did she go?¡± Putting away the lamp, Lin Mo looked around and found that the battle in the center was still going on. They were still fighting to the death. Some people were consuming the power of the supreme treasure, waiting for it to weaken so that they could capture it. ¡°Why did you run so far away¡­?¡± Lin Mo frowned and followed Qilin¡¯s aura. He found that most of the space along the way had been destroyed. He even found Qilin scales in some spatial rifts. One could only imagine what a terrible battle must have taken place here such that the little girl suffered losses. A few minutes later, Lin Mo found the panting Qilin in a spatial rift. She was in a sorry state, and the scales on her fair arms were scattered. Many of its scales were damaged, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. It was Qilin¡¯s blood. ¡°Little girl, is it so hard to ask for help¡­?¡± Chapter 626 - 626 Fifth 626 Fifth-Level Ruler Lin Mo unhappily took out a few elixirs and handed them over. Qilin took them and finished them in two or three bites. Qilin¡¯s face gradually turned red, and the scales on her body faded. Lin Mo turned around. Qilin¡¯s movements were swift. She took out a pure white dress and put it on before approaching Lin Mo with a smile. ¡°Hehe, not only will we be able to drink turtle soup later, but we¡¯ll also be able to drink bear Soup. I¡¯ve killed that turtle, and I¡¯ve also obtained a Dark Gold Bear. Her face was full of smiles, and she was very satisfied with her spoils of war. This left Lin Mo speechless. Everyone else was trying to snatch the treasure, but this little girl was hunting. ¡°Don¡¯t treat me like a useless decoration. If we really fight, you might not even be able to beat me.¡± Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s expression, Qilin was not convinced and looked at him. She was not boasting. To be able to hide from so many top-tier powerhouses in the Dragon Pavilion, one could imagine how powerful she was. ¡°It¡¯s better to barbeque bear meat. I¡¯ll make bear paws for you in a few days.¡± Lin Mo patted her head and consoled her, telling her to keep her prey. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We can¡¯t come here for nothing. I¡¯ll get you a magic tool.¡± As he spoke, he intended to continue joining the battle. ¡°No need for that. I¡¯ve already gotten one.¡± Unexpectedly, Qilin raised her hand, and a jade cauldron appeared in her hand. There were mysterious patterns on the jade cauldron, and they were very special. After she channeled spiritual Qi into it, it expanded in the wind. Soon, a half-meter-tall jade cauldron appeared. The special patterns on it had a very strong offensive power. ¡°Hehe, this treasure is called the Mysterious Jade Cauldron. It¡¯ll be my magic tool from now on. It¡¯s the most suitable for stewing soup.¡± Qilin nodded in satisfaction. When she saw Lin Mo use the bronze cauldron to cook the Water Dragon meat, she had wanted to use the same cauldron. Even though she had a jade cauldron, it was pretty good. She was not picky anyway. ¡°What grade is it?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Everyone could only get one item. This little girl could not have randomly found one, right? ¡°Heaven-grade tier 4. It¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s a magic tool that the Dark Gold Bear got.¡± Qilin explained. She was injured because of the Dark Gold Bear¡¯s sneak attack. The other party held a jade cauldron and smashed it down from the sky, breaking her Qilin armor. She was almost killed by the other party¡¯s sneak attack. ¡°What a b*stard. A Ruler of the second level actually used a sneak attack. How shameless.¡± Qilin pursed his lips, looking down on the Dark Gold Bear. ¡°Alright, calm down. You¡¯ve already killed him, and in a few days, he¡¯ll be eaten by you. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?¡± Lin Mo laughed and rubbed Qilin¡¯s forehead. Since there was no need to fight for a magic tool, it was time to go deeper. ¡°Can you sense where the ancient bronze lamps are?¡± He took out a Heaven Illuminating Lamp and handed it to Qilin, hoping that she would display the ability of an auspicious beast and help him find the rest of the Heaven Illuminating Lamps. However, Qilin pouted her little mouth and glared at Lin Mo in dissatisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m an auspicious beast, not a dog. How can I sense where a specific treasure is?¡± She was very dissatisfied. Did Lin Mo think that she was omnipotent? ¡°Uh¡­ Ahem!¡± Lin Mo cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment and kept the Heaven Illuminating Lamp. ¡°You decide where we¡¯re going next.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He still wanted to rely on Qilin to find the remaining lamps. It seemed that the reason she could find these three lamps was that she was an auspicious beast. Despite that, he did not know if she would have such good luck later on. ¡°Follow me. This should be the medicinal field. The smell of medicine is very strong.¡± Qilin sniffed with her small nose and pointed to a passage. Lin Mo touched his nose and mumbled softly, ¡°She can smell it from so far away¡­¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Qilin turned around. ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s nothing. I was just praising you¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. The passage was very long. The two of them flew at full speed for more than 50 kilometers before they saw the stone door at the end of their sight. This place was sealed by runes, but because it had been here for too long, the runes on the stone door had long decayed. After a punch, the runes flickered, and all they saw was a dazzling multicolored elixir and a medicine pot that emitted a heavy fragrance. Many people had come here. They had come from different passages. Some people saw the medicine pot on the table and immediately snatched it. There must be some divine pills or immortal pills in the pot that was stored by the Kun Peng. The things left behind by the Kun Peng were not ordinary. Even if it was a fragment, eating it would allow one to be reborn and break through to the next realm. The Kun Peng was one of the divine beasts of the ancient era. It was a supreme existence, and anything that could catch its eyes must not be ordinary. Furthermore, the Kun Peng¡¯s methods were hard to predict. Many of the formations here were already decayed, but the elixirs stored here were still intact. This was what the Kun Peng left for future generations, and it was not too difficult. Now that this medicine pot might have divine pills and immortal pills, it was enough to make people go crazy. ¡°Bang!¡± More than a dozen people attacked at the same time, and a fierce battle broke out here. The secret room was no longer quiet, and fights were happening everywhere. Spiritual Qi exploded, and the clash of magic tools could be heard. Fortunately, this was the Kun Peng Palace. Otherwise, with so many people fighting¡ªsome of them were Rulers¡ªthe sky would have fallen and the earth would have shattered. ¡°Don¡¯t snatch the pot. The most precious one is here. Qilin called out to Lin Mo. She pointed to an area that was shrouded in a chaotic mist. The power of the runes was protecting the area, keeping it immortal for countless years. Many people had also discovered that this area was extraordinary. They swarmed over and unleashed their magic tools to attack the place, wanting to disperse the mist. ¡°All of you, get out of my way! All the treasures here belong to me!¡± One of them shouted. It was a powerful middle-aged man. With a wave of his hand, a ¡°boom¡± sound was heard, and many people in the vicinity were directly sent flying. Some people were even injured. Their bodies slammed into the walls of the secret chamber, and they coughed up blood. There were even some who fainted directly. Fainting in such a place was no different from being dead. Many people were shocked as they looked at the elder. This man was too strong¡ªhe was a fifth-level Ruler. Even Lin Mo and Qilin frowned at the power that was being emitted. They did not face it head-on and chose to retreat. A fifth-level Ruler was almost the limit of entry on the island. Even if one was just a little stronger, one would be rejected by Cloud Mist Island and would be unable to enter. ¡°That¡¯s a servant of the Teng clan. He came in with Teng Feng. His name is Bai Shan.¡± Someone shouted, recognizing the person in front of him. At the same time, they were also looking around. Since the servant of Teng Feng¡¯s clan had appeared, could Teng Feng be nearby? If even Teng Feng was here, it would be difficult for them to gain anything because they were no match for him. Although there were a few Rulers present, they were still too weak compared to Bai Shan. It was very difficult for them to pose a threat to him. ¡°God Devouring Body Lin Mo, Qilin girl, there must be treasures behind the mist. Don¡¯t you want them?¡± Someone secretly spoke using a voice transmission. ¡°That¡¯s right. If the two of you join hands, you might not be weaker than Bai Shan. You still have a chance.¡± Many people secretly urged Lin Mo and Qilin to take action. Chapter 627 - 627 Divine 627 Divine-Grade Fruit Tree ¡°Hmph, I advise you to think twice. Don¡¯t suffer a double loss when the time comes,¡± Bai Shan coldly said. His eyes were cold as he glanced at Lin Mo and Qilin. Then, he looked around, wanting to find the person who had secretly transmitted the message to intimidate him. Unfortunately, after a round of searching, he found nothing. ¡°Old man, are you threatening us?¡± Qilin was very dissatisfied and looked at Bai Shan. She was often threatened, but those who threatened her often did not end well. Bai Shan made her very unhappy. Furthermore, he was a Teng family servant, which made her even more unhappy. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Who would have thought that Bai Shan would directly admit it without the slightest attempt to hide it? Being a fifth-level Ruler, he had the right to say such things. ¡°You should clear the mist first. I¡¯ll see what treasure is behind it,¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. If it was a treasure, then he would naturally snatch it. If it was not, he would forget about it. There was no need to fight to the death with a fifth-level Ruler just for a war of words. ¡°Hmph.¡± Hearing this, Bai Shan snorted coldly. The majestic spiritual Qi in his body erupted and began to disperse the mist in the area. The chaotic mist seemed to only have the effect of hiding one¡¯s aura. It did not block anything and was quickly cleared by Bai Shan. Gradually, a golden light appeared in that area, which was very dazzling. As the mist gradually dispersed, people looked over attentively, wanting to know what was there. ¡°Is that¡­ A tree?¡± Some people wondered what kind of tree could attract the attention of the Kun Peng and cause it to cast a chaotic mist to block it. ¡°What kind of spiritual herb is this? Furthermore, the tree isn¡¯t bearing any fruit¡­¡± Qilin was a little disappointed. From what she could tell, this tree was the most precious treasure in this place. Despite that, the situation was obvious. There was not even a fruit, let alone it being ripened. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that we have to snatch it back and plant it? It¡¯ll take hundreds or thousands of years for it to ripen¡­¡± Qilin lost interest and no longer wanted to fight for it. ¡°Who knows what tree this is?¡± Someone asked, consulting the people around him. The group of people looked at each other and shook their heads. They did not know what kind of tree this was. Most divine trees looked the same, and this tree was so common that it looked like a normal tree. It was the soil under the tree that was emitting the golden light, showing how extraordinary it was. ¡°There¡¯s no fruit. It¡¯s hard to recognize it unless you can give me a leaf.¡± An old man stroked his beard and said. He was an alchemist and had a certain reputation in Cloud State. He was very knowledgeable. If he could get a leaf, he would definitely be able to recognize the type of tree. ¡°Even Master Feng doesn¡¯t know. It seems like we won¡¯t be able to find out the true identity of the divine tree¡­ People sighed. Master Feng had traveled to many strange places and seen many divine objects, but he had no way to recognize the tree now¡­ ¡°Bai Shan, right? Pick two leaves and let Master Feng identify them. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to take this tree away.¡± At this moment, Lin Mo spoke with an unfriendly tone. He asked Bai Shan to pick the leaves and identify the value of the tree. The other party was a fifth-level Ruler, and it would be very risky to fight him. If this thing was not precious enough, then he would just forget it. ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Bai Shan¡¯s expression turned cold. After he had become the Teng family¡¯s servant, he had basically not been threatened. Especially on Cloud Mist Island, his cultivation state was the highest and no one could defeat him. Even though Lin Mo had the God Devouring Body and was a peerless genius, the gap between their realms was huge. ¡°Think of it as if you don¡¯t pick the leaves, you can¡¯t leave. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He was extremely aggressive. He held the Green Cloud Sword in his right hand and was ready to attack at any time. At the same time, Qilin also took out her small white jade cauldron and prepared for battle. ¡°Has Teng Feng come? if he¡¯s here, then I¡¯ll leave. But if he is not, you¡¯d better keep a low profile,¡± Lin Mo said. Although Bai Shan was powerful, it would not be a problem for Lin Mo to take care of Bai Shan if he joined forces with Qilin. However, if the other party retaliated before his death, the price would be huge, and the loss would outweigh the gain. ¡°Okay, you can ask him to come over and check, but he can¡¯t damage the divine tree.¡± Bai Shan¡¯s face was dark. He looked at the divine tree behind him and nodded in agreement. If Lin Mo insisted on attacking, it was likely that he would lose more than he would gain by destroying the divine tree. ¡°That would be my honor.¡± With a smile on his face, Master Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Lin Mo and Bai Shan respectively. Then, he carefully observed the divine tree under everyone¡¯s gaze. ¡°Strange, strange¡­¡± After looking at it for a while, he was somewhat surprised. He stared at the divine tree and examined it carefully while muttering to himself. ¡°What did you see?¡± Bai Shan asked impatiently. ¡°Sir, please calm down. I can tell, but I¡¯m not sure¡­¡± Master Feng was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, not believing his own judgment¡­ ¡°Just say it,¡± Lin Mo said from a distance. He wanted to know what this divine tree was. Master Feng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, ¡°This is a spiritual fruit tree¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the most ordinary spiritual fruit tree that is only at the spirit grade. Some of them aren¡¯t even at the spirit grade¡­¡± As soon as he said that, everyone was stunned and somewhat in disbelief. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Bai Shan said angrily. When he approached the divine tree, he could clearly sense that there was an endless life force in it. How could this be an ordinary spiritual fruit tree? This was simply ridiculous. ¡°It¡¯s absolutely true. Sir, please calm down. I¡¯ll prove it to you.¡± Master Feng took out a jade bottle and poured out a round, dark green spirit pill. It was only a spirit-grade tier 9 spirit pill, and it contained a certain amount of life force. After Master Feng took it out, he crushed it and scattered the fragments on the roots of the spiritual fruit tree. Immediately, the spiritual fruit tree began to shake, and jade-green fruits appeared on the branches. The spiritual Qi in the surroundings was absorbed by the fruit tree, and it began to bear fruit. In less than five breaths, the fruit ripened and turned black¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the Black Spirit Fruit. It can grow up to tier 1 of the spirit grade¡­¡± People recognized it at a glance. To them, this fruit was no different from the fruits on the table. Even so, the Black Spirit Fruit tree in front of him clearly contained the power of a heaven-grade divine tree. Why was the fruit only at tier 1 of spirit-grade¡­? ¡°There¡¯s something good buried under that soil¡­¡± At this moment, Qilin suddenly transmitted a message to Lin Mo and told him what she had just discovered. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. ¡°It¡¯s a treasure that can make a spirit-grade tier 1 fruit tree grow into a heaven-grade divine tree. I can¡¯t be wrong,¡± Qilin solemnly vowed. The most important thing now was how to get that treasure¡­ ¡°How could this be? This is really the Black Spirit Fruit¡­¡± Bai Shan¡¯s face was filled with astonishment. He was unwilling to believe it. He even plucked a Black Spirit Fruit and directly ate it. After eating it, he was sure that this was really the Black Spirit Fruit, and the medicinal effects were exactly the same¡­ ¡°After such a long time, we made a huge mistake¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled and turned to leave. He had no intention of staying any longer. Chapter 628 - 628 Mysterious Crystal 628 Mysterious Crystal Everyone knew that the divine tree was definitely not simple. After all, it was a divine grade. Nonetheless, there was nothing they could do. They could not tell. Perhaps someone knew that the thing buried under the divine tree was not simple. It was a pity that the soil on which the Black Spirit Fruit Tree was rooted was extraordinary. It was so hard that even a Ruler¡¯s full-power attack could not break it at all. ¡°Can you be sure?¡± After leaving with Qilin, Lin Mo asked through a voice transmission. If even a Ruler could not break through it, even if he knew there was a treasure down there, he would not be able to get it. ¡°Trust me. The Ancient Qilin Tree is the most precious treasure of the Qilin clan. It is something that has surpassed the heaven grade, and its power is beyond imagination.¡± Qilin was full of confidence. What they needed to do now was to wait for those people to lose their patience and head to other places to search for treasures. When Lin Mo and Qilin returned, even if there were still people guarding the tree, those people would not be a match for them. In fact, they did not go far. They just watched from a distance. Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was constantly staring inside. Sure enough, Bai Shan did not give up. After carefully checking, he was furious when he discovered that it was really the Black Spirit Fruit. Even if this kind of divine tree grew to the divine grade, its medicinal effects would not be much. It would at most be of earth-grade tier 5, which was precious to many people, but not much to Bai Shan. ¡°B*stard.¡± Bai Shan let out an angry roar. Under the heartbroken gazes of many, he smashed the Black Spirit Fruit Tree into pieces with his palm. It was also at this moment that the roots of the Black Spirit Fruit Tree gradually withered and disappeared with the wind. In the next moment, golden light shone brightly, and the soil burst into a brilliant light. The entire stone room was illuminated. Everyone closed their eyes, not daring to look at it. Only Bai Shan resisted the burning in his eyes. He unwaveringly stared at the layer of golden soil. ¡°There¡¯s indeed a supreme treasure here. All of you, back off. Whoever dares to move will be killed without mercy.¡± Bai Shan said coldly. The aura of a Ruler was released from his body, suppressing everyone. ¡°He¡¯s very strong¡­¡± Not far away, Qilin frowned. She had no choice but to admit that if she was alone, she could only use all her trump cards and escape in a sorry state when facing Bai Shan. Now, with Lin Mo around, the threat that Bai Shan posed to her was much less. In the end, the light dissipated. The people here looked at the soil in front of them with a burning gaze. A corner of a golden crystal appeared under the golden soil. The Black Spirit Fruit Tree had previously taken root on this crystal. Now that the fruit tree had died, the crystal was also revealed. Bai Shan was overjoyed. A suction force came from his palm as he tried to pull the crystal out of the soil. However, the golden soil was as hard as iron and there was no way to break it. No matter how much strength Bai Shan used, he could not move it in the slightest. Seeing this scene, people began to discuss. It seemed that the golden soil was also a treasure. As expected of the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land. It had all kinds of treasures. Nonetheless, it seemed that they had no fate with the treasures here. With Bai Shan around, no one could snatch them. Although they might be able to fight if they joined forces, they would lose more than they gained if they offended the Teng clan. ¡°Can you tell what treasure it is?¡± Qilin asked. To her, Lin Mo seemed to know everything. It would not be difficult for him to identify the golden crystal and soil. ¡°I can¡¯t tell now. I¡¯ll have to wait until I get it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He had to keep it in the system space. Otherwise, he would not be able to identify it. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for a while. Bai Shan is trying to break through the golden soil. Let¡¯s wait for him to use up some spiritual Qi.¡± After all, he was a Ruler of the fifth level and could not be underestimated. Moreover, there were many people gathered there, so it was not a good time to go over. ¡°Bai Shan knows we¡¯re here. Why don¡¯t we go a little further?¡± Qilin said. This place was too close. Given Bai Shan¡¯s strength, it would not be a problem for him to sense them. ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Since Qilin had guaranteed that Bai Shan would not be able to get the treasure, he was not in a hurry. He would take this opportunity to check out other places. Ten minutes later, they were far away. They advanced carefully as they sensed intense energy fluctuations ahead. It was obvious that there was another stone room, and a battle was going on there. There would definitely be treasures at the battle site. When Lin Mo and Qilin arrived, they found that it was indeed the case. The light of treasures was overflowing, and spiritual Qi was abundant. Powerhouses were everywhere. Everyone was fighting and engaging in a chaotic battle. Rulers were fighting each other, and the scene was earth-shattering and extremely intense. In their line of sight, there was a flag in the center, which looked very ancient. The runes on the flag were profound and intoxicating, so it was definitely a treasure. ¡°That¡¯s a formation flag with the Kun Peng¡¯s aura on it. We might be able to use it to control some of the formations left behind by the Kun Peng.¡± Qilin cried out in alarm. No wonder the people here were so crazy. If this flag could control a certain key formation, one might be able to obtain the inheritance of Kun Peng. It was a pity that there were many powerhouses here and that the battle was too intense. No matter who it was, as long as they got close to the central region and tried to get close to the war flag, they would be attacked by countless people. Even if they were a Ruler, they would die almost instantly. ¡°Are we going to join the battle?¡± Qilin¡¯s interest was piqued. She stared at the many demonic beasts, wanting to hunt them down. Even so, Lin Mo did not care about the legendary war flag at all. He looked at the three ancient bronze lamps below the war flag. Those were the treasures that truly attracted him. They were the Heaven Illuminating Lamps, which were the real treasures linked to the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance. A secret that only he knew was his advantage. ¡°Forget about the war flag. We¡¯ll snatch the Heaven Illuminating Lamps.¡± Lin Mo ordered Qilin not to act on her own. The Heaven Illuminating Lamps were the most important things. The war flag was too eye-catching, so it was better not to have it. ¡°The Heaven Illuminating Lamps? It¡¯s not easy to snatch them too¡­¡± Qilin looked at the three ancient bronze lamps in the center with her beautiful eyes and frowned. Although the three ancient bronze lamps were not valued, the central area was not easy to approach. ¡°Let¡¯s snatch something else first¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s target was not the central area, but the places on the periphery that were emitting treasure lights. When he and the Qilin worked together, they were extremely powerful and were not at a disadvantage when fighting against some Rulers. However, the others also tried their best to stop them. Soon, Lin Mo and Qilin were targeted. Other people felt that the two of them were troublesome and wanted to get rid of them in advance. During the battle, the treasures in this place appeared out of thin air. Treasure light overflowed. It was a small jade bottle. The mouth of the bottle was opened, and a burst of pill fragrance came out. Smelling this fragrance, the people immediately became restless. Without a doubt, this was a heaven-grade divine pill. Even some great sects did not have something like that. Furthermore, given that the Kun Peng took fancy to the divine pill, it was definitely not simple. In the scramble, the pristine jade bottle hovered in the air. In the end, it could not withstand the people¡¯s pulls and burst open. A dark green divine pill appeared. As soon as it appeared, it gradually transformed into an ancient tree that was two meters tall. Chapter 629 - 629 Refresh and Relieve Pill 629 Refresh and Relieve Pill In an instant, the entire area was enveloped by a dense life force. Some of the people who had been injured in the battle were also quickly recovering. It was peaceful here, and the fragrance of the pill spread in all directions. Several Rulers were alarmed, and they flew over to join the battle. ¡°Boom!¡± Explosions were heard continuously as a Ruler made his move and used his martial arts to block Lin Mo¡¯s path. Qilin was also attacked and had no choice but to retreat. She had no way to get close to the medicinal pill that had turned into an ancient tree. The life force exuded by the divine pill was too strong, and many people could not sit still. They came to fight for it. ¡°Lin Mo, can you get it? That divine pill is very important to me.¡± Qilin asked hurriedly. She looked at the ancient tree with a face full of desire. She was born early as she was disturbed, which led to her congenital deficiency, so she needed a lot of energy. Among them, this kind of pure life energy was the most suitable. It could make up for her innate deficiencies to the greatest extent. ¡°Just leave it to me.¡± Lin Mo unleashed his full power and activated the Abyssal Devouring, devouring the spiritual Qi from all directions. In an instant, his body swelled up, and there were faint signs of it exploding. Many people gasped. They did not expect that the God Devouring Body could release such a terrifying wave of energy when he was only at the peak of the half-step Almighty realm. ¡°Mismatched Yin Yang!¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly, and the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind him. With the support of the Abyssal Devouring, the power of the Mismatched Yin Yang was even stronger. With just one attack, Lin Mo destroyed all the obstacles in front of him. His hands turned into the Kun Peng Claws and pierced through the ancient tree, turning it back into a divine pill. Lin Mo was taken aback as the jade-green elixir was in his hand. If he were to consume such a dense life force, he might be able to break through to the peak stage of the Almighty realm and be only one step away from the Ruler realm¡­ ¡°What a terrifying medicinal power.¡± Lin Mo exclaimed and quickly stored it in the system space. ¡°Hand it over.¡± A Ruler made his move. He held a Heaven Turning Seal and pressed down from the sky, trying to suppress Lin Mo. This was a heaven-grade magic tool, and it was activated by a Ruler. Its momentum was shocking. Lin Mo used the Mountain River Scroll to block it. At the same time, he raised his hand and pushed the Ruler back. ¡°Lin Mo, the God Devouring Body, has obtained a divine pill. It¡¯s a divine pill that can allow one to be reborn. We can¡¯t give it up.¡± Someone shouted and called for everyone to come forward. Everyone locked their eyes on Lin Mo. Moreover, the person¡¯s words were also spread by the spiritual Qi, so many people heard him. At this moment, Lin Mo had become the target of all. People who yearned for the divine pill swarmed toward him. All kinds of martial arts were used, and the place was dazzling. Qilin was forced back and could not go to help Lin Mo. Soon, the place was flooded. Lin Mo was surrounded by the crowd. He drew out the Green Cloud Sword and infused it with a huge amount of spiritual Qi. The Abyssal Devouring kept on replenishing the energy, causing the Green Cloud Sword to tremble slightly. The sword hummed. The next moment, the Sword Qi was charged to the extreme, and Lin Mo slashed out. In an instant, there were no more fluctuations. All kinds of martial arts disappeared. Only the sound of a sword resounded through the world. The void seemed to be destroyed and lost its luster. In this short moment, it was as if time had stopped. ¡°Puff!¡± In hindsight, many people lowered their heads and found that they had been cut in half at the waist. At this moment, they felt intense pain. There were even some weaker people whose souls were annihilated by the Sword Qi, and they died completely. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Everyone was shocked as they looked at Lin Mo. There were even a few peak Almighty powerhouses among those who had been cut in half. Even the Ruler¡¯s expression changed. ¡®Is this the power of the God Devouring Body? It¡¯s so terrifying. It can gather such a terrifying amount of spiritual Qi and explode in an instant. How terrifying¡­¡¯ Purple light flickered, and a beautiful Qilin pattern appeared in the air. Qilin rose into the air and arrived in front of Lin Mo. She grabbed his wrist and flew away. Although there were people who tried to stop her, they were no match for her and were killed with a single palm. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Lin Mo coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. His meridians were in excruciating pain. At this moment, his eyes were filled with excitement. The power of that sword strike was still vivid in his mind. A single sword cut through over a hundred people at the waist, and the Ruler was so shocked that he did not dare to block it. It was too powerful. ¡°But this move really hurts my body. Even my meridians are damaged¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The power devoured by the Abyssal Devouring was all flowing in his meridians, and he had almost exploded. Once the spiritual Qi broke through the obstruction of his meridians, he would be seriously injured. ¡°That¡¯s too risky¡­¡± Qilin said worriedly. At the same time, her eyes were filled with gratitude. The reason Lin Mo was so desperate was to help her get the divine pill that would be of great help to her¡­ ¡°Haha, it¡¯s worth it. This is truly a divine pill¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed. Only now did he have the time to listen to the system¡¯s introduction and learn about the origin and effects of the divine pill. [Refresh and Relieve Pill, heaven-grade tier 9. It contains extremely pure immortal Qi. It can make up for congenital defects, evolve bloodlines, improve talent, and purify life force.] The series of introductions made Lin Mo¡¯s heart beat wildly. A heaven-grade tier 9 divine pill! If those people knew about this, they would probably not care about the war flag. They would definitely chase after him like crazy. Everyone would¡­ Putting aside everything else, just the evolution of bloodlines and the purification of life force was enough to make countless people go crazy. The origin of life was the foundation of cultivation for living beings. If it could be purified, one would be closer to the great Dao. It could even make humans comparable to innate rare beasts. This was an unparalleled opportunity. Who knew, Lin Mo obtained it. If it was not for the fact that he wanted to give it to Qilin, he would definitely swallow it and not auction it. Although the rebate from the auction would surpass a heaven-grade divine pill, it might not be better than the Refresh and Relieve Pill. ¡°This is a heaven-grade tier 9 divine pill, the Refresh and Relieve Pill.¡± You should eat it now. Lin Mo took it out of the system space and handed it to Qilin without any reluctance in his eyes. The latter received it in a daze and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Especially when she heard about the effects of the divine pill, Qilin¡¯s eyes widened even more. ¡°Let¡¯s split it in half and take half each. You risked your life to get it.¡± Qilin said softly. After all, it was Lin Mo who had obtained it, and it was already too much for her to take half of it. The elixir was also effective for Lin Mo, who had the God Devouring Body. ¡°Hurry up and eat it. After you¡¯re done, help me snatch the Heaven Illuminating Lamps,¡± Lin Mo said as he waved his hand. He would be lying if he said that he did not feel regretful for giving such a precious gift. However, he was very satisfied with the little girl¡¯s performance. At least he was not giving the divine pill to the wrong person. ¡°Hehe, think of it as an investment from me. You¡¯re a Qilin, a mythical beast from ancient times. Don¡¯t forget to protect me when you become a star in the future.¡± Lin Mo teased as he urged Qilin to eat the Refresh and Relieve Pill. ¡°Hehe, although I was unfortunate to be born early, I¡¯m still very lucky to have met you,¡± Qilin said with a smile. She would never believe in the so-called investment. Lin Mo had the God Devouring Body, one of the strongest supreme physiques of the human race. It was equivalent to the Qilin and the True Dragon of the demonic beast world¡­ Chapter 630 - 630 Holy Light Dust 630 Holy Light Dust Qilin swallowed the green Refresh and Relieve Pill in one gulp. Green ripples appeared on the surface of her body. A rich life force spread out. She yawned and felt her body warm and comfortable. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to sleep?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. If Qilin was in a deep sleep, then their exploration of the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land could stop. It would almost be impossible to snatch the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng if Lin Mo was alone and had to give part of his attention to protecting Qilin. ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re scared, right? I¡¯m just fooling around.¡± To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, Qilin suddenly chuckled. The fatigue on her face instantly disappeared, and she made a face at Lin Mo. ¡°You little girl¡­¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and knocked her hard on the head. According to the system¡¯s introduction, the Refresh and Relieve Pill would store its medicinal power in Qilin¡¯s body and slowly nourish her. Given time, Qilin would be able to completely transform and become stronger, and her innate deficiencies would also be perfected. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll go and snatch the Heaven Illuminating Lamps. Although I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re going to do with them¡­¡± Qilin chuckled and took the lead to fly to the stone room in front. The battle inside continued, and more treasures appeared, attracting people to fight for them. Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s reappearance was seen by many, but no one dared to stop them. They were unobstructed all the way to the central area. The battle here was the most intense. There were nine Rulers fighting for the war flag. During this period, some people also took away the treasures around the war flag to ensure that they would not return empty-handed. When they arrived, Lin Mo realized that the three lamps were still there. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. It was good that no one had taken them away. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± A Ruler snorted and attacked Lin Mo and Qilin, preventing them from approaching the war flag. ¡°Go away. Don¡¯t force me to beat you up.¡± Qilin waved her fist and sent her opponent¡¯s magic weapon flying. At the same time, she took out a small white jade cauldron that expanded in the wind. The heaven-grade magic tool displayed a terrifying power in her hands, directly injuring the Ruler. Lin Mo took the opportunity to go to the war flag and put the three lamps into his bag. Then, he quickly made a move to help Qilin. The nine Rulers were all fighting for themselves and were competitors. They would not allow anyone to take away the war flag. However, when they saw that Lin Mo only took away the three unremarkable ancient bronze lamps, they frowned. ¡°You did it so easily?¡± Qilin was stunned. She was confused when she saw Lin Mo appear in front of her. She was already preparing her killing move. She wanted to stall the other party by herself so that Lin Mo could obtain the treasures. It would be best if he could take the war flag as well. ¡°These people just don¡¯t know what¡¯s good.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He did not touch the war flag, so not many people attacked. Hence, the pressure on Qilin was very little. In addition, he left after taking the three lamps, so those people could not react in time. ¡°Let¡¯s go to where Bai Shan is. There¡¯s still one more supreme treasure that we haven¡¯t taken with us.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. Together with Qilin, they carried the Green Cloud Sword and the small white jade cauldron respectively and slowly retreated from the central area. The two of them left, and no one stopped them. Everyone was trying to guess the function of the ancient bronze lamps. ¡°There are a total of nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps. I¡¯ve obtained six of them, so I¡¯m still short of three¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile as he walked. He was in a good mood. Both he and Qilin had obtained great fortune. He was only three lamps away from obtaining the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. ¡°What can you do with all nine of them?¡± Qilin asked curiously. She could not understand why Lin Mo did not want the war flag and instead took the Heaven Illuminating Lamps¡­ Were those not what the Kun Peng used to test one¡¯s talent¡­? ¡°They can help me obtain the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. Don¡¯t spread the news¡­¡± Lin Mo used a voice transmission to answer Qilin. There was no choice. It was always right to be careful of eavesdroppers. ¡°Is this the information you obtained after lighting up the nine lamps¡­?¡± Qilin transmitted her voice. She was incomparably shocked. This was simply unimaginable. Could it be that when the Kun Peng Nest opened, a successor was already decided? Was it a test for the person to find all the Heaven Illuminating Lamps? The more Qilin thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. Otherwise, Lin Mo, a junior who was a half-step to the Almighty realm, would not have been able to see through the Kun Peng¡¯s secret no matter how sharp he was. It only made sense if the Kun Peng had told him. This was also why Lin Mo was able to obtain such a powerful art, the Mismatched Yin Yang. ¡°Since you¡¯ve obtained the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, I won¡¯t give you the Qilin¡¯s arts. You can¡¯t bite off more than you can chew.¡± Qilin said. Ever since Lin Mo had generously given her the Refresh and Relieve Pill, she had made up her mind. She would do her best to help Lin Mo obtain the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. In that case, she would take in a disciple on behalf of her mother and pass down the supreme inheritance of the Qilin clan to Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo had been taking care of her like a big brother during this period of time. She could call him her senior brother in the future. ¡°I already told you to stop bringing up your inheritance¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. He felt that he had taught Qilin in vain. He had told the little girl to be careful and not be deceived¡­ ¡°Hey, I said you can be trusted.¡± Qilin curled her lips. The Ancient Qilin Tree and the Refresh and Relieve Pill were enough to prove this point. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely obtain the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had the confidence and also believed in his luck. Furthermore, he had an auspicious beast with him. ¡°Good luck.¡± The two of them chatted as they walked slowly through the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land, attracting the attention of many. After waiting for more than an hour, Lin Mo and Qilin arrived at the stone room where they had found the supreme treasure. There were not many people left in this area as it had been plundered. When the two of them arrived at the stone room, they found that there was a group of people guarding it. Inside, Bai Shan had disappeared. ¡°This place has been occupied by the Teng family. Unrelated people must leave.¡± As soon as Lin Mo and Qilin arrived, the two guards at the entrance of the stone chamber raised their spears and said. ¡°Go away. Great barkers are no biters.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. With a wave of his hand, the two Almighty powerhouses were sent flying and smashed into the wall. ¡°It¡¯s you. The God Devouring Body and the Qilin girl.¡± In the stone room, a middle-aged strong man was nervous, and his body was trembling. ¡°Lin Mo, didn¡¯t you already see the treasure here? Why did you come back?¡± He gathered his courage and asked. Now, Bai Shan had gone to search for Teng Feng, wanting to retrieve the treasure buried here. Although the people who stayed behind were not weak, they were still not enough to deal with Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°Peak of the Almighty realm, not bad. However, you¡¯d better step aside if you don¡¯t want to die.¡± Lin Mo said coldly as he and Qilin walked to the place where the Black Spirit Fruit Tree was. The soil was still emitting a golden light. It was very dazzling and hard. Lin Mo picked up some of the golden soil and stored it in the system space. [Holy Light Dust, a wondrous Item of heaven and earth. It has a hard texture and has a sealing effect. It can guarantee that the sealed object won¡¯t decay for 10,000 years and won¡¯t be destroyed. ] Hearing the system¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo was slightly shocked. What was buried under the Holy Light Dust was definitely a supreme treasure¡­ Chapter 631 - 631 Heaven Imperfect Stone 631 Heaven Imperfect Stone ¡°This is the Holy Light Dust. It has a sealing effect, but I don¡¯t know what is sealed inside.¡± Lin Mo looked at Qilin. The latter nodded and took out a strange-looking ancient tree. ¡°It changed?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised to see the Ancient Qilin Tree. The last time he saw it, it did not look like this. It had grown much taller and was now two meters tall. Its entire body was purple-gold, and immortal Qi occasionally appeared. ¡°As I recover, the Ancient Qilin Tree grows as well. In fact, this is my life-bound magic tool, but I can¡¯t use it now.¡± Qilin smiled and planted the Ancient Qilin Tree. The roots spread and penetrated deep into the Holy Light Dust. Soon, the Holy Light Dust began to crack, and the crystal below was wrapped by the roots of the Ancient Qilin Tree and slowly dragged up. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo snorted coldly and turned around to strike with his palm. The terrifying force directly caused the group of people behind him to spit out blood and fly back. It was the people of the Teng clan. They saw that Qilin was about to take out the treasure below and were very anxious. The leader, who was at the peak of the Almighty realm, wanted to attack Lin Mo. ¡°I warned you. If you attack, then prepare to die.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned cold. The Green Cloud Sword appeared, and a sharp Sword Qi burst forth, killing all the people from the Teng clan who stayed here. ¡°I got it. What kind of treasure is this?¡± Qilin¡¯s happy voice came from behind. She put away the Ancient Qilin Tree, and a golden crystal appeared in her hand. The crystal had a radius of about half a meter and was filled with divine light. Specks of starlight were hidden in the golden luster, and it was extremely dazzling. ¡°Let me see.¡± Lin Mo was not sure either, so he could only keep it in the system space. [Heaven Imperfect Stone, an innate divine treasure. Legend has it that when the universe was born, a supreme powerhouse opened up heaven and earth. This stone fell from the sky and can be used to refine celestial tools.] [The Heaven Imperfect Stone is currently in tier 8 of the heaven grade. The essence inside was once taken away by the Kun Peng. The stone was then planted in the Holy Light Dust to be repaired. If it is nourished by a large number of spirit stones, it¡¯ll be able to recover its original appearance in time.] The two system notifications made Lin Mo overjoyed. ¡°It¡¯s the Heaven Imperfect Stone, a treasure for refining celestial tools. We¡¯ve really struck it rich this time. Even the Kun Peng couldn¡¯t bear to destroy it and put it in the Holy Light Dust to repair it.¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, Qilin could not believe it. Celestial weapons. How many such weapons were there in the world¡­? ¡°The Holy Light Dust is also a treasure. Can I take it away?¡± After the excitement, Qilin looked at the remaining Holy Light Dust. This kind of treasure could seal up a supreme treasure, making it immortal and indestructible. ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. Even saints can¡¯t break the Holy Light Dust, so we can forget about it.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Although he could use the Ancient Qilin Tree to further disintegrate the Holy Light Dust, it would be a waste of time. He still had to find the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance and had no time to waste. Now, many people had entered the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land. The inheritance could appear at any time. The treasures here were also very tempting. Even if they did not get the inheritance, they would not suffer a loss. After spending three hours, Lin Mo and Qilin finally arrived at the forefront. They saw Teng Feng, Gongsun Wenhao, Mu Yuzhu, and the others. The powerhouses at the scene took action and forcefully blasted open a stone room. They walked in, and the people behind them swarmed forward. ¡°This is the herb garden.¡± Qilin sniffed with her small nose and smelled the fragrance of divine medicines. In the stone room, they found a huge stone tablet as soon as they walked in. Two words were flamboyantly written on it. ¡°Herb Garden!¡± Everyone felt their blood spurting, and they were extremely excited. Was this the place where the Kun Peng planted divine medicines? Were there any divine medicines that surpassed heaven-grade? ¡°No, this place is dead. There¡¯s no aura that a medicinal field should have.¡± Some people were puzzled. Although the spiritual Qi here was rich, it was not good for nourishing divine medicines, let alone legendary immortal medicines. ¡°No, look, there¡¯s a formation pattern in front.¡± At this moment, someone saw a light in front of them. When they got closer, they realized that there was a powerful formation. The formation did not stop anyone from entering. However, as soon as they entered, the ground burst into flames. It was not scorching hot, but a bone-chilling cold. ¡°It¡¯s the Yin Yang Dao Law of the Kun Peng¡¯s art. Be careful not to get hurt,¡± Lin Mo warned. If one was injured by the flames, it would be an injury to one¡¯s great Dao. It would be very difficult to heal and would require a lot of life force. ¡°There are elixirs sealed in a formation. What a strong medicinal fragrance.¡± Within the formation, someone cried out in surprise and grabbed a few balls of light. When looked closely, it turned out that there were spiritual medicines inside. The lowest grade of them was a half-step heaven-grade divine medicine, which was quite extraordinary. ¡°They must be the medicinal ingredients that the Kun Peng didn¡¯t like. It didn¡¯t want to waste them, so it set up a formation and left them for the future generations.¡± Some people guessed that along the way, they had encountered opportunities left behind by the Kun Peng for the future generations. Although there were also some formations that acted as obstacles, they were more like tests and were not difficult. Now that people were here, how could they miss out on the divine medicines? The divine medicines here all had roots and were stored by the Kun Peng with supreme means. As long as they brought it back to their sects, they would be able to grow it. There were many of these divine medicines that were rarely seen on normal days. This made countless people go crazy. ¡°Oh my God, this is a Dragon Blood Divine Tree. Although it¡¯s just a seedling, it¡¯s a heaven-grade tier 9 tree at its mature stage. Someone grabbed onto a ball of light and recognized it as the Dragon Blood Divine Tree. His expression immediately changed as he cried out in alarm. The Dragon Blood Divine Tree was a priceless treasure to any force. It was said that there was a Dragon Blood Divine Tree in the Dragon Pavilion. It bloomed once every thousand years, bore fruit once after another thousand years, and would only mature after another thousand years. The lush Dragon Blood Divine Tree could only bear nine fruits in 3,000 years. Its value was unimaginable. It was said that the fruit contained dragon¡¯s blood and was once the fruit tree of a True Dragon in ancient times. At this moment, the crowd was in an uproar. A group of people was greedy. Even Gongsun Wenhao, Teng Feng, and the others made their moves to snatch the divine tree. There were a total of five fifth-level Rulers like Bai Shan, and they were engaged in a shocking battle. The Dragon Blood Divine Tree represented the prosperity of a force, even if it had yet to fully mature. ¡°Kill!¡± Someone in the crowd roared and used his martial arts. Colorful energy pillars descended, but the Dragon Blood Divine Tree was completely unscathed. A supreme treasure like this was not so easily destroyed. On the other hand, the person who had discovered the Dragon Blood Divine Tree lost his life in an instant due to his carelessness and exposed his position. ¡°Hurry up and snatch it.¡± The place instantly became lively, but the number of dead and injured also rose at a terrifying speed. ¡°What are you waiting for? Let¡¯s do it.¡± Qilin was in high spirits. The wildness in her bones had been stimulated, and she was very eager to go up and fight. As an ancient mythical beast, she was not weak at all. Naturally, she had to fight for the most precious Dragon Blood Divine Tree. ¡°Don¡¯t get involved. Snatch something else.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The area within a thousand-meter radius of the Dragonblood Divine Tree had become a meat grinder. Anyone who entered would find it difficult to survive. Chapter 632 - 632 Chaotic Soil 632 Chaotic Soil Even Gongsun Wenhao, Mu Yuzhu, and the others did not dare to step forward. They could only watch from the outside. ¡°People of our generation should press forward and conquer the world with invincibility. If you keep staying out of it, how can you sweep the world?¡± Qilin tried to persuade Lin Mo seriously. She seemed like an elder when she spoke. Seeing this, Lin Mo smacked her on the head and lectured her, ¡°That¡¯s true, but that doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re going to court death.¡± When he and Qilin joined forces, their combat powers could barely match a fifth-level Ruler like Bai Shan. Nonetheless, they were still no match for him. The gap between their cultivation levels was too great, and it was no longer something that could be made up for. If even a powerhouse like Bai Shan did not dare to get too close to the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, going over at this time would be no different from courting death. ¡°Let¡¯s wait for the other treasures to appear and share the pressure before we go snatch them.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. Mu Yuzhu and the others were also thinking the same thing, so they did not join in immediately. They were all fighting on the periphery. At the same time, they scanned the place with their soul powers to see if there were any stronger treasures. ¡°Then follow me. I feel like there¡¯s a treasure here.¡± Qilin did not insist. Instead, she led Lin Mo deeper into the cave, claiming that there was a treasure that was not inferior to the Dragon Blood Divine Tree. She was the auspicious White Qilin, so Lin Mo believed her words without a doubt. The two of them began to venture deeper into the formation. The Yin Yang Dao Law inside was more intense, and the damage caused would be more serious. The elixirs were sealed in the balls of light, and nothing could be seen from the outside. Only by grabbing them and opening them would one be able to see what kind of treasure was hidden inside. Lin Mo and Qilin worked together and only managed to grab a ball of light after much effort. When Lin Mo opened it, countless spiritual powers instantly enveloped him. As long as Lin Mo obtained a supreme treasure, there would be a storm of blood here. ¡°Swish!¡± With a buzzing sound, the light weakened, and the treasure hidden inside was gradually revealed. When the light dissipated, Lin Mo was seen holding a flower pot in his hands. The spiritual aura on it was dim, and there were no fluctuations. ¡°Has the divine medicine withered?¡± Someone sighed. After so many years, even the Kun Peng¡¯s techniques could not be preserved forever. In the end, there were still some divine medicines that could not resist the corrosion of time and turned into ashes. ¡°Keep it.¡± At that moment, Qilin secretly transmitted his voice to Lin Mo. Her voice was a little urgent. ¡°Whoosh!¡± With a flash of light, Lin Mo successfully kept it in the system space. Many people wanted to attack, but after seeing him take out the Green Cloud Sword, they could not help but retreat. It was not worth it to make Lin Mo an enemy for a withered divine medicine. ¡°When you were holding this flower pot, I saw an auspicious sign on your body. This must be a great opportunity.¡± Qilin transmitted her voice. She was a little excited. She was an auspicious beast, the White Qilin, and she could see a person¡¯s fortune. Lin Mo was usually blessed with great luck, and he was even more so just now. This was definitely not a withered divine medicine. Hearing this, Lin Mo also sent his consciousness into the system space to listen to the system¡¯s introduction. [Chaotic Soil. A Myriad Spirit Grass used to be planted in it, but it withered and died due to the severe damage it suffered.] [The Chaotic Soil can nourish all living things, nurture elixirs, refine magic tools, and so on. At the same time, it is also the soil where immortal herbs take root.] Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. It was the soil where immortal herbs grew. This was definitely a true treasure¡ªeven more precious than the Dragon Blood Divine Tree. In the future, if he were to obtain an immortal herb, he would be able to plant it and let it grow. ¡°By the way, is your Ancient Qilin Tree an immortal herb?¡± Lin Mo sent a voice transmission to Qilin. He remembered that Qilin had told him that the Ancient Qilin Tree would grow slowly and improve with her. ¡°It used to be, but it was refined by the first Qilin in the world and turned into a magic tool¡ªa growth-type magic tool.¡± Qilin shook her head. This was the most precious inheritance of the Qilin clan, and it could only be activated with a Qilin¡¯s blood. ¡°That¡¯s a pity. I wanted to give you the Chaotic Soil. Lin Mo sighed and told Qilin about the Chaotic Soil that he had just identified. ¡°I told you it was a great opportunity.¡± Qilin was very excited. She was right. Lin Mo had obtained a treasure that surpassed the Dragon Blood Divine Tree. ¡°Lin Mo, hand over the treasure you just obtained.¡± At this moment, Gongsun Wenhao appeared in front of Lin Mo. There was an old man following behind him. Lin Mo recalled and immediately understood when he saw this person. This person was the elder who guarded Cloud Mist City outside Cloud Mist Island. He had once dealt with Lin Mo. Furthermore, Lin Mo was familiar with the cultivation technique that he was practicing. It was the Tai Yu Spirit Nurturing Art. Lin Mo did not notice the old man¡¯s strength clearly at that time, but now that he saw it, he was shocked. The old man was a Ruler of the fifth level, the highest level one could be to enter the island. ¡°Long time no see, little friend. I didn¡¯t expect you to be Lin Mo the God Devouring Body. I¡¯ve heard so much about you.¡± The old man looked at Lin Mo with a smile. He had a good impression of the latter. If he could rope him in, that would be the best. Although it was unlikely, he still wanted to give it a try. ¡°If you want to fight, then come. There¡¯s no need to waste your breath.¡± Lin Mo did not waste any words. He could tell that the old man was trying to win him over, but he did not take it seriously. ¡°My young friend, it¡¯s not a wise choice to offend the Gongsun clan in Cloud State,¡± the old man said in a deep voice. ¡°Cut the crap. Do you think the Gongsun clan can hide the truth from the public?¡± Qilin could not sit still any longer and took out the small white jade cauldron. She did not like the Gongsun clan at all because ever since she came to Cloud State, she had been hunted down. There was even one time when she was injured by an elder. She had no choice but to leave the Ancient Qilin Tree behind and let Lin Mo help attract some attention. ¡°Let¡¯s do it.¡± The spiritual Qi around Lin Mo¡¯s body went berserk. He instantly used Abyssal Devouring, and a layer of black holes appeared around him. Anyone who was enveloped by it would have their spiritual Qi drained until it was completely exhausted. At this moment, a layer of black patterns appeared on Qilin¡¯s body, and there were some runes of the Soul Devouring Art on it. With this layer of protection, Qilin could attack without any reservations in Lin Mo¡¯s territory. Her spiritual Qi would not be devoured, at least not before Lin Mo lost control of his God Devouring Body. The battle started right away. Lin Mo and Qilin were besieged. The two of them unleashed their full powers, and all kinds of trump cards emerged. The guards of the Gongsun clan were out of luck. Although they were not weak, they could not stop Lin Mo¡¯s crazy attacks. One of them was struck by Lin Mo¡¯s power, and his soul was destroyed. He could not be more dead. At the same time, Qilin also exerted her strength. Not only did she activate the small white jade cauldron, but a dark purple tree also appeared behind her. Qilin stood under the tree, holding a small white jade cauldron, looking very sacred. The purple light was blinding. With the Ancient Qilin Tree¡¯s support, Qilin¡¯s attacks became even stronger. Anyone who got close to her was severely injured by the purple light. Gongsun Wenhao was blocked by Lin Mo¡¯s Nine Qilin Steps and could not help in time. As for the elder beside him, he was blocked by Qilin¡¯s explosive power. Although he could escape, it would be difficult for him to escape in a short time. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo used the Kun Peng Wings to increase the distance between him and Gongsun Wenhao and began to kill the people of the Gongsun clan. Chapter 633 - 633 The Kun Peng Appears 633 The Kun Peng Appears Even the elder was occasionally being watched by Lin Mo. Lin Mo took the time to use the Mismatched Yin Yang and attacked with extreme power, causing some injuries to the elder. At this moment, the elder¡¯s hair was disheveled. He had been hit by Qilin¡¯s small white jade cauldron, and his defense had been broken. The next moment, the flames in the surroundings spread and attached themselves to his body. The two forces of extreme Yin and Yang intertwined, leaving indelible scars on his body. ¡°B*stard!¡± The other party roared in anger and glared at Lin Mo, wishing he could turn him into ashes. ¡°You¡¯re not convinced? I¡¯ve said it before. If you attack me, you have to pay the corresponding price.¡± Lin Mo sneered and sighed at the same time. ¡°What a pity. If we were to break through the Almighty realm, this old man would definitely be dead.¡± Qilin returned to Lin Mo¡¯s side, and the huge Ancient Qilin Tree was kept. Although this was her magic tool, if she activated it for a long time, even she would not be able to take it. ¡°The Dragon Blood Divine Tree has been taken away.¡± At this moment, someone shouted. The people exclaimed and turned their heads to look. They could not help but be shocked. They saw Mu Yuzhu and Teng Feng exchanging blows. The two of them were fighting in full swing, and at this critical moment¡­ Bai Shan took the opportunity to get close to the Dragon Blood Divine Tree and put it into his bag. Although he was attacked by several people and was severely injured, he still managed to obtain the Dragon Blood Divine Tree and returned to Teng Feng. ¡°He managed to obtain it¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes flickered, and he sighed. He had been disturbed by Gongsun Wenhao and the others and was unable to participate¡­ ¡°Find a chance to snatch it.¡± Qilin transmitted her voice. If it was anyone else who had obtained the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, she would only be envious of that person¡¯s luck. However, if it was Teng Feng, it would be different. She hated him and wanted to snatch his fortune. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had the same thought. At this moment, the various balls of light in the formation were all caught by people, and all kinds of divine medicines appeared. There was even one that had reached heaven-grade tier 6. Its divine light filled the sky. Almost half of the people had gone to fight for it. At this time, a few Rulers had fallen, and blood stained the sky. Battles also broke out in other places. People were snatching the divine medicines, and the battles were extremely brutal. ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, a crack appeared in the sky above the formation. The space gradually collapsed, and a series of terrifying fluctuations spread out. The formation that enveloped this place began to collapse as if the heavens and earth were being split apart. Countless streams of chaotic energy fell from the cracks in the sky. Lin Mo turned pale with fright and hurriedly flew out of the formation with Qilin, not daring to stay for long. The formation gradually collapsed, and the fighting was forced to stop. People flew out with grave expressions. Above the stone chamber, an incomparably magnificent hall appeared. The thousand-meter-tall bronze door opened, and a Kun Peng flew out, looking down on the world. The Kun Peng¡¯s body emitted divine light and was shrouded in chaotic light. Its terrifying aura spread, and many people could not bear it and were forced to kneel. ¡°That¡¯s¡­ The Kun Peng. It didn¡¯t die?¡± Someone murmured. This was simply unimaginable. The ancient divine beast Kun Peng had manifested in the present world. ¡°No, this isn¡¯t its real body. It¡¯s formed from runes¡­¡± Qilin said. She did not sense any similar fluctuations from the Kun Peng. Although the Qilin and the Kun Peng had no relationship, they were both divine beasts that were born and raised in the land. They could always sense each other¡¯s aura. Even though Qilin¡¯s realm was extremely different from the Kun Peng¡¯s, her perception could not be wrong. The Kun Peng circled in the sky and then flew back into the bronze gate. An ancient and simple aura came from behind the door. It was like a small world inside, extremely grand. Inside, the Kun Peng flapped its wings and flew high. Its body was golden like a giant roc, and it looked down on the world with its golden eyes. The Kun Peng flew into the clouds, which was chaotic. It then changed into a big black fish. It was incomparably huge¡ªtens of thousands of kilometers long¡­ Everyone was dazed. They had come here to obtain the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng, but at this point, they did not dare to enter. ¡°The ancient divine beast Kun Peng has fallen. This was confirmed during ancient times. This is just the manifestation of runes.¡± ¡°The Kun Peng¡¯s Supreme inheritance must be in there. My fellow Daoists, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± A Ruler was the first to step out. He was bold because he was skilled, and he firmly believed that the Kun Peng had died in ancient times. He wanted to be the first one to enter and see the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. As such, he stepped into the sky and slowly flew toward the bronze door. Seeing this, the people could no longer sit still. No matter what, they had come this far. Were they going to retreat¡­? That was the supreme technique of the Kun Peng. It contained the great Dao of Yin and Yang. Whoever could get it and master it would be able to rule the world. Even the top sects were drooling over the Kun Peng¡¯s art¡­ As Lin Mo had been reminded by Qilin, he knew the situation inside and flew in as well. After passing through the bronze door, chaotic Qi descended from above. This place seemed like a paradise, and there were all kinds of strange phenomena. Behind this bronze door was an endless space. People walked in and saw nothing. As they moved forward, they were surrounded by chaotic Qi. Other than the Kun Peng that occasionally appeared above, there was nothing unusual. ¡°Where¡¯s the inheritance? Why isn¡¯t it here?¡± After walking for a long time, some people could not help but complain. They had finally arrived here after countless trials and tribulations, but they could not see the inheritance. This infuriated the crowd. Some people even flew up to check the space above. Unfortunately, this small world was boundless. After flying for a long time, they still could not see the end. The Kun Peng was still flying above, but it was difficult to get close. ¡°The inheritance hasn¡¯t appeared. Is there something missing?¡± Lin Mo frowned. The Kun Peng would not bother about toying with people. Since it had set a test, it would definitely pass down its inheritance. If it was unwilling, no one could have come here. They could not have entered the Kun Peng Nest in the first place. At that moment, Lin Mo recalled that he still had a Demon Sealing Mirror replica and six Heaven Illuminating Lamps in the system space. This was the key to obtaining the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, but he had yet to collect all nine lamps. ¡°Can I get more if I auction the Heaven Illuminating Lamps?¡± Lin Mo muttered, but he gave up on the idea. What if it was a stronger lamp but there was no Kun Peng¡¯s mark inside? He would suffer a huge loss. ¡°Should I go inside or go back to look for the Heaven Illuminating Lamps¡­?¡± While Lin Mo was deep in thought, he did not notice that two women had quietly appeared and blocked his and Qilin¡¯s path. ¡°Brother Lin, how have you been?¡± They were Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant, Su Qing. ¡°Miss Mu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Lin Mo smiled and was rather polite to Mu Yuzhu. ¡°I saw you pondering. Do you have any thoughts on the current situation?¡± Mu Yuzhu went straight to the point and explained her purpose for coming. ¡°I don¡¯t have any insight. I¡¯m just thinking about the Kun Peng¡¯s intentions.¡± Lin Mo spread his hands and said helplessly. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I have some clues here. Why don¡¯t we work together?¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled and invited Lin Mo to join her. At the same time, he vaguely informed them that Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao had secretly joined forces to capture Qilin alive¡­ Chapter 634 - 634 The Kun Pengs Altar 634 The Kun Peng¡¯s Altar ¡°They still want to catch me, huh?¡± Qilin was instantly enraged. Gongsun Wenhao and the others still had not given up. They were difficult to deal with. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t you have such thoughts?¡± Suddenly, Qilin turned to look at Mu Yuzhu. Her opinion of the latter had changed quite a bit after she let her and Lin Mo go the last time. Nonetheless, Qilin still suspected that Mu Yuzhu would attack her again if she had the chance. ¡°I want the inheritance of the Kun Peng. I can¡¯t do it alone, and I need to find allies.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t attack my allies while we¡¯re working together.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. In other words, after the alliance ended, it was hard to say if they would fight. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll form a temporary alliance. Tell me your clues.¡± Lin Mo pulled Qilin behind him and smiled. He was at his wit¡¯s end right now, so he might as well listen to Mu Yuzhu¡¯s opinion. ¡°I wonder if you still remember the nine ancient bronze lamps you lit when you opened the Kun Peng Nest?¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s heart started beating wildly as he looked at Mu Yuzhu. How did she know about this? He did not even tell Qilin about the secret of the Heaven Illuminating Lamps. ¡°It seems like you also know some clues, Brother Lin. No wonder you fought for the lamps that time.¡± Mu Yuzhu laughed again. She told him bluntly that she had once mistakenly entered a cave in the nest. ¡°I found an ancient bronze lamp inside, and there were words carved on the side that explained the secret of the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance.¡± As she spoke, she took out a lit ancient bronze lamp from the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was the same as the six lamps in Lin Mo¡¯s system space. Seeing this, Lin Mo calmed down a little. He had thought that this was top secret, but he did not expect the Kun Peng to still leave behind clues. ¡°I heard that you have three lamps, Young Master Lin. In addition to the one we have, we have almost half of the total.¡± Su Qing laughed as well. As long as they could gather all nine of them, they might be able to resolve the situation. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s work together to get the Heaven Illuminating Lamps and break through the situation.¡± Lin Mo laughed. However, he did not have just three Heaven Illuminating Lamps, but six. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be a little difficult¡­¡± Unexpectedly, Mu Yuzhu shook her head lightly. She did not think that they would be able to obtain the lamps. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Could it be that the remaining lamps were in a desperate situation? ¡°Brother Lin, you might not know, but Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao both have a Heaven Illuminating Lamp each. ¡°However, they don¡¯t know the secret of the Heaven Illuminating Lamps. This is also what I¡¯m worried about, so I came to discuss it with you, Brother Lin.¡± Mu Yuzhu helplessly spread out her hands. Even if they found three more, it would be useless. After all, if they wanted to break out of this situation, they would need nine lamps. ¡°They¡¯ve all appeared¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart beat wildly again as he thought to himself. All nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps had appeared. It was just that wanting to obtain them was too difficult. ¡°There¡¯s another piece of news.¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s words were shocking, and she told Lin Mo yet another piece of earth-shattering news. ¡°About 1.5 million kilometers from here, there¡¯s an altar the size of a mountain. There might be clues to the remaining lamps there. ¡°At the same time, that place could also be the key to the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance.¡± Hearing this, Lin Mo could no longer sit still. He had to go. There might be other clues there. ¡°What are you waiting for? Let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t let others take the lead.¡± Qilin could not wait any longer. The Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance could not just contain arts. There must be many divine medicines and elixirs. If they were lucky enough to obtain the legendary immortal medicine, they would make a huge profit. The group immediately began their journey. On the way, they discovered that many people were rushing in that direction. They must have found all kinds of opportunities, seen the news, and learned about the altar. After an unknown time, they sped all the way and took a few breaks along the way before finally arriving at their destination. At the end of their line of sight, an ancient altar appeared in the void. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± At that moment, Lin Mo could not contain his excitement as the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng was most likely here. On the altar, a beam of light shot into the sky and connected to the Kun Peng that was swimming in the sky. People arrived one after another. When they saw the altar, they were extremely excited and began to fly toward it. For a time, all kinds of spiritual lights appeared in the void. When Lin Mo and the rest got closer, they realized that the altar was massive. There were all sorts of runes carved on it. These symbols were very ancient and mysterious as if they were very close to Dao. This feeling of being one with heaven and earth made many people addicted and unable to extricate themselves. Many people shouted in excitement as they flew toward the center of the altar to obtain the Kun Peng runes. More and more people arrived and climbed up the altar one after another, but no killing formation was triggered. It was as if the danger had disappeared along the way. What awaited them was the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. ¡°Where¡¯s the inheritance? Why is there nothing in the middle of the altar?¡± Some people were puzzled because this huge altar was completely bare. Although the spiritual Qi was dense, there was no sign of life. Some people guessed that the runes on the altar were the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. They wanted to comprehend these runes. In the end, they realized that they could not understand them at all. These runes were obscure and difficult to understand. They were very ancient and difficult to explain. ¡°Hehe, since you¡¯re all here, then take out all the Heaven Illuminating Lamps and activate the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. A burst of soft laughter came from behind. Behind Lin Mo and the others, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng had also arrived with their men. The two of them each held a lantern in their hands. Seeing this, Mu Yuzhu also took out the lantern in her hand. ¡°There are still three more that weren¡¯t obtained,¡± Mu Yuzhu said with a frown. The inheritance of the Kun Peng would not be able to show itself without nine lamps. ¡°They¡¯re with me, but can the inheritance be opened?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He took out the six lamps in his hand and found that they were lit. As soon as the nine lamps appeared, the runes on the altar began to flash and light up. ¡°Hand them over and open the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance.¡± Gongsun Wenhao said coldly. He raised his palm, and a suction force appeared. He wanted to take away the six Heaven Illuminating Lamps in front of Lin Mo. ¡°In your dreams. We worked so hard to get it. Why should we give them to you?¡± Qilin pushed her palm and forced Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s power back. She glared at the other party. ¡°Don¡¯t you guys want to open the inheritance of the Kun Peng? There are so many people waiting for you.¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s expression was dark as he looked at Lin Mo and Qilin. As soon as he said that, many people¡¯s eyes flickered, and they looked at Lin Mo and Qilin with some hostility. Although everyone knew that Gongsun Wenhao wanted to target Lin Mo and Qilin, who could resist the temptation of the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng? ¡°Of course, we do. Hand over the Heaven Illuminating Lamps, and I¡¯ll activate it now.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He needed nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps to activate the Kun Peng mark in the Demon Sealing Mirror replica. The system had said that the Kun Peng¡¯s mark could find the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, so he had to gather all nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps. ¡°Who do you think you are? You dare to ask us to hand over the Heaven Illuminating Lamps?¡± Chapter 635 - 635 The Inheritance Appears 635 The Inheritance Appears The people of the Gongsun clan were furious and glared at Lin Mo. Their clan was the overlord of the Cloud State, and no one had ever dared to disobey them. Now that the Kun Peng Nest had appeared, many sects and clans did not respect the Gongsun clan as much. In the face of the Kun Peng Nest, the threat of their status had been greatly reduced. There were even some desperadoes who would attack them. ¡°We¡¯re just rogue cultivators, so we¡¯re nothing. However, the Gongsun clan is also nothing to us.¡± Lin Mo sneered. This group of people was used to being high and mighty. They were about to become mortal enemies, yet they still had such an attitude. ¡°You have guts.¡± Before Gongsun Wenhao could say anything, the old man beside him was furious. For so many years, no one had ever dared to insult the Gongsun clan in Cloud State. ¡°Lin Mo, you have to understand that you have to go out eventually. What can you do once you leave Clout Mist Island? ¡°On account of your extraordinary talent, I¡¯ll allow you to join the Gongsun clan. If you offer the Qilin blood, I can let my family¡¯s guardian take you as a disciple,¡± Gongsun Wenhao said coldly. Everyone was shocked by his words. None of the people who had humiliated the Gongsun clan in the past had left Cloud State alive. Now, Lin Mo had appeared, and Gongsun Wenhao was planning to rope him in¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve joined another clan. Besides, I don¡¯t like the Gongsun clan.¡± Lin Mo smiled disdainfully. He did not care about Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s attempts to rope him in and threaten him. ¡°He has a clan? Which force is it?¡± The crowd was shocked and started discussing which sect Lin Mo came from. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe he just said it casually,¡± someone said in a low voice, not believing that Lin Mo had a strong background. ¡°The two of you should stop talking. Right now, the most important thing is to activate the inheritance.¡± At this moment, Mu Yuzhu also spoke up, giving Lin Mo a deep look. Then, under everyone¡¯s watchful eyes, she personally handed over the lamp in her hand. Everyone was shocked by this and did not understand why. ¡°Could it be that Lin Mo has joined the Mu clan?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very possible. The Qilin girl has been following him. Maybe she joined the Mu clan too!¡± The entire place was in an uproar. This news was too shocking. The Mu clan was the overlord of Bamboo State. Moreover, they were at their peak now, and no one knew how many saints there were in the clan. There might even be stronger powerhouses. They were a true top-notch force, one of the best in the entire Northern Continent. If Lin Mo really joined the Mu clan with Qilin, the Gongsun clan would have to think twice if they wanted to touch him. ¡°Mu Yuzhu¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. At the same time, he was extremely shocked. Did the Mu clan really recruit two peerless geniuses? One of them was even an ancient divine beast, the White Qilin. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I just want to activate the inheritance. This time, I¡¯m giving it to you.¡± Mu Yuzhu chuckled. Although she had explained, not many people believed her. ¡°Did you hear that? Do you all still want to activate the Kun Peng inheritance? Don¡¯t waste everyone¡¯s time.¡± Qilin opened her mouth and shouted, asking Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao to quickly hand over the Heaven Illuminating Lamps. At this moment, everyone looked at Gongsun Wenhao. Previously, he had wanted everyone to be hostile toward Lin Mo. Who knew, Mu Yuzhu would easily resolve this? ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Gongsun Wenhao, who was clear about the situation, gritted his teeth and exchanged a glance with Teng Feng. At the same time, they threw out their lamps. ¡°Hurry up and don¡¯t waste time.¡± After Lin Mo obtained the lamps, the two of them started urging him to activate the inheritance. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. I¡¯ll go now.¡± Lin Mo first put away the nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps. In the system space, the Dao flames of the nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps spread. The Demon Sealing Mirror also reacted at this time, and rays of light appeared. To his surprise, the replica of the Demon Sealing Mirror was restored at this moment. The Kun Peng mark inside was recovering, and a majestic power spread, causing Lin Mo to be shocked. [The Demon Sealing Mirror is a replica of the ancient Kun Peng¡¯s magic tool. It is of heaven-grade tier 9. The Kun Peng mark inside has been activated, and the tool spirit has been awakened. You can find the inheritance of the Kun Peng with this.] The system¡¯s voice was heard. Due to the changes in the Demon Sealing Mirror, it had to re-evaluate it. ¡°Heaven-grade tier 9. Wouldn¡¯t I obtain a celestial tool after auctioning it?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was beating wildly. A magic weapon above heaven grade should be a celestial tool. He was not sure about that. Back in the Eastern Continent, earth grade was the highest, let alone heaven grade. Lin Mo suppressed his wildly beating heart and forced himself to calm down. He walked to the center of the altar, and in front of the pillar of light, the nine Heaven Illuminating Lamps appeared again. The Dao flames burned, and the Heaven Illuminating Lamps instantly returned to their original position, rotating around the light pillar. ¡°Boom!¡± A brilliant river of stars fell from the sky. The Kun Peng above seemed to be summoned and flew down in a stream of light. Everyone was sent flying by the shocking fluctuation. Including Lin Mo, they were all sent flying for tens of thousands of kilometers. When they were about to reach the edge of the altar, the altar started to change. On the light pillar in the middle, several dazzling rays of light emitted strong light. ¡°Those are the magic tools left behind by the Kun Peng¡­¡± These magic tools were even more powerful, and the powers they emitted even made some people kneel down. ¡°Are these the magic tools that the Kun Peng once used? They¡¯re too terrifying.¡± Someone cried out in surprise. Several magic tools appeared where the pillar of light had been. They were the inheritance left behind by the Kun Peng. The qualities were excellent, and every one of them was made of supreme-grade divine treasures. Even some great sects did not have them. In the center, there were five magic tools surrounded by chaotic Qi. There was a thick and heavy earth-yellow staff. There was also a large bronze bell that was very ancient and simple. A green fan floated in the air, and there was also a long bone saber that exuded a mysterious aura. Finally, there was a long spear. It was completely black, and a cold killing intent spread out. However, this was not the most precious thing. In the middle, there was an ancient mirror being surrounded. Chaotic Qi flowed around the mirror, and the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram occasionally flashed in the mirror. Its terrifying power was enough to destroy the world. Upon closer inspection, one discovered that there were cracks on the mirror, and the area around the cracks was dim as if it had been completely damaged. ¡°The Demon Sealing Mirror. ¡°This is the magic tool that made the Kun Peng famous. It¡¯s one of the top celestial tools and one of the strongest ones in the ancient era.¡± Even Lin Mo was tempted. This was a celestial tool! Although it looked broken, it was still a supreme treasure. Moreover, he had the auction rebate system. He might be able to use it to repair the Demon Sealing Mirror. This was the most powerful magic tool that followed the Kun Peng during ancient times. It was rumored that the Kun Peng had engraved its own runes into it and that the tool spirit could use the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme arts on its own. At the thought of this, everyone knew where the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance runes were. It was in the hands of the tool spirit in the Demon Sealing Mirror. Even so, people soon frowned. The Demon Sealing Mirror was damaged, but it was not something they could touch. It could not be taken away at all. Even a saint would not be able to do anything, let alone them. Chapter 636 - 636 War Demon Spear 636 War Demon Spear ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. The Kun Peng wouldn¡¯t make things difficult for you. The inheritance it left behind must be for the future generations.¡± Qilin mumbled. She consoled Lin Mo, thinking that there must be another way. ¡°There must be!¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. He had a rough idea of how to get it. As long as he got close to the Demon Sealing Mirror, the replica should be the key. However, how could he get close? The atmosphere was tense, and no one dared to act rashly. If there was any slight movement, one would be attacked by a group of people. A Ruler made his move and led his sect¡¯s disciples forward, approaching the central area. There was no obstruction. There were no obstacles in this place. The people behind were overjoyed and followed. At the same time, they held their magic tools and were ready to attack. The key to obtaining the Kun Peng inheritance was the Demon Sealing Mirror. Taking a further guess, if one obtained the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, would one be able to obtain the Demon Sealing Mirror too? This was not impossible. Thinking of this, the people trembled with excitement and flew with all their might. 5,000 kilometers was not a long distance for them. As soon as they arrived, many Rulers made their move, no longer hiding. ¡°Kill!¡± Lin Mo was forced to make a move amidst the roars. He and Qilin followed the crowd and charged forward. They had no choice but to make a move because if they did not, they would become targets. At this point, even their previous allies were a little untrustworthy. Other than themselves, everyone else was an enemy. ¡°I¡¯ll protect you. Go to the Demon Sealing Mirror.¡± Qilin stood behind Lin Mo, helping him block all attacks. ¡°Please.¡± Lin Mo did not refuse. He raised his hand and summoned the Green Cloud Sword, forcefully carving out a path of blood. He rushed straight to the center and quickly approached the Demon Sealing Mirror. The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram on the mirror was clearly visible. The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open, and after a few flaps, he was about to approach the Demon Sealing Mirror. Just as he approached, he was swept away by a wave of runes and was pushed away. ¡°How could this be¡­?¡± Lin Mo sighed. He was so close. The ones who stopped him were none other than the three magic tools around the Demon Sealing Mirror. The huge bell trembled slightly. The sound of the bell rang out, sending out talismans that repelled those who wanted to approach. The only good thing was that there was no danger, only a slight obstruction. ¡°Boom!¡± A Ruler attacked Lin Mo from a distance. He used his martial arts and began to target Lin Mo. A ferocious-looking demonic beast appeared, and its body glowed with an ominous light as it rushed over. Lin Mo held the Green Cloud Sword in his hand. Flames and lightning spread out as he slashed forward. The sword blade exploded, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Flames shot in all directions, and the demonic beast was shattered on the spot. At the same time, the Sword Qi that exploded also injured the surrounding people. The Ruler hurriedly dodged to avoid being injured by the Sword Qi. The place was in an uproar. Many Rulers were fighting, trying to get close to the Demon Sealing Mirror. ¡°Get out of my way. Don¡¯t forget who has the final say in Cloud State.¡± Gongsun Wenhao shouted loudly. He held a bright silver halberd in his hand, and his body was covered in battle armor. He was like a Water Dragon entering the sea with unstoppable momentum. With a puff, some of the people who tried to stop him were beheaded by the halberd, and their souls were annihilated. ¡°Lin Mo, today is the day you die.¡± Gongsun Wenhao was about to approach the Demon Sealing Mirror, whereas two figures appeared in front of Lin Mo. They were Bai Shan and the elder from the Gongsun clan, two fifth-level Rulers. Lin Mo could not deal with any of them. The two of them attacked with heaven-grade magic tools in their hands. In an instant, the entire place was dazzling, and runes rushed over like ocean waves. Lin Mo was fearless as the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared in front of him. Perhaps it was because this was the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land, the power of the Mismatched Yin Yang increased a bit. Lin Mo pointed out with both hands, and the power of Yin and Yang spread out. He was unafraid of the attacks of the two. The surrounding people were very shocked and dodged in panic after seeing such a terrifying collision. After the explosion, Lin Mo held the Green Cloud word and attached the power of lightning and fire to it. He charged forward, intending to take on the two fifth-level Rulers. ¡°You¡¯re looking for death.¡± Bai Shan coldly laughed, and a staff appeared in his hand, giving off a shocking divine light. He vigorously waved it, and tens of thousands of lightning bolts descended from the sky. A terrifying fluctuation spread out like a heavenly tribulation. As the two sides fought, Lin Mo used the Abyssal Devouring and devoured all the spiritual Qi in the area while using the Nine Qilin Steps. As the terrifying lightning dissipated, Lin Mo continued to attack. He activated the Mismatched Yin Yang once again, and the spiritual Qi in his body was manically mobilized. Behind Bai Shan and the elder, many powerhouses from the Teng and Gongsun clans screamed as the power of Yin and Yang penetrated their bodies. Many people lost their lives on the spot. ¡°Little b*stard, you¡¯re looking for death.¡± Bai Shan shouted. He once again mobilized the lightning and joined forces with the elders of the Gongsun clan to kill Lin Mo. After an intense confrontation, Lin Mo spat out blood. He was clearly no match. If he had not constantly used the Abyssal Devouring to absorb the spiritual Qi from all directions, he would have died from exhaustion. Despite that, this battle was enough to shock everyone. During this period, Lin Mo had risen to power, and no one had been able to bring him down. Now that he was facing two fifth-level Rulers, even though he could not defeat them, he did not lose either. The human race¡¯s supreme physique was indeed not just for show¡­ On the other side, Mu Yuzhu was also caught up in a bitter battle. She was right. Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao had indeed joined forces. At this moment, they were attacking her together, constantly consuming her spiritual Qi. She struggled to hold on, and it was difficult for her to get close to the Demon Sealing Mirror. ¡°Kill!¡± In the other places, the major forces had also made their moves. Ordinary rogue cultivators could not resist at all and were killed in an instant. When they got close, they found that they could not get close to the Demon Sealing Mirror. If one wanted to come into contact with the Demon Sealing Mirror by force, one would need to mobilize all the spiritual Qi in one¡¯s body to resist the runes. Nonetheless, if one were to be ambushed while doing so, one would definitely die. Behind, a purple-gold divine tree appeared. Qilin was coming. She held the small white jade cauldron in her hand, and the Ancient Qilin Tree floated behind her. She waved her hand gently, and purple light flickered. Her momentum was terrifying. ¡°Quickly retreat.¡± Bai Shan was instantly shocked. He hurriedly dodged after giving a warning. The purple light exploded and shattered the space there. It did not recover for a long time. This was the inherited treasure of the Qilin clan. When its divine might erupted, even a fifth-level Ruler would not dare to take it head-on. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo, who was coughing up blood, and was very worried. Previously, she had been besieged by many people, including the people of the Gongsun and Teng clans, so she arrived late. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Quickly eat this divine pill.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. At the same time, he took out a fragrant pill and fed it to Qilin. Activating the Ancient Qilin Tree had consumed a terrifying amount of her energy. At this moment, her small face had turned pale. ¡°Swish!¡± Nevertheless, when Qilin also entered this area, the Demon Sealing Mirror moved. At this moment, the five magic tools beside her flew out and landed in the hands of Lin Mo, Qilin, Mu Yuzhu, Gongsun Wenhao, and Teng Feng. Lin Mo immediately stored his in the system space. [War Demon Spear, heaven-grade tier 9. It contains immortal Qi and is one of the magical weapons that Kun Peng left for its successor.] The information about the pitch-black spear appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and he was overwhelmed with shock¡­ Chapter 637 - 637 The Final Test 637 The Final Test ¡°The five magic tools are targeting the five of us. Is this the Kun Peng¡¯s arrangement¡­?¡± Lin Mo mumbled to himself. He could feel that even if he did not store it in the system space, the War Demon Spear would not resist him. His spiritual Qi was able to merge into it without any obstruction, and he could control it perfectly. ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, the altar under their feet shook, and a huge arena appeared. The Demon Sealing Mirror was at the top, and it scattered endless divine light that covered the entire arena. Those who were not strong enough were swept away, leaving less than a hundred people behind¡­ What was more shocking was that there were only five people below the Ruler realm left. They were Lin Mo and his group. They stood in the middle of the arena with the magic tools left behind by the Kun Peng. ¡°The victor will obtain the inheritance.¡± In the Demon Sealing Mirror, an ancient voice was heard. The meaning was obvious. Only the final winner could obtain the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. ¡°We were swept down because we don¡¯t have the qualifications to compete?¡± Some people were dejected. Was the threshold for the final test set by the Kun Peng so high? ¡°This isn¡¯t fair. Why did the five of them get the magic tools?¡± One of the Rulers roared. He was at the fifth level of the Ruler realm and had great combat power. He had a high chance of winning. Nevertheless, Lin Mo and the others, who had heaven-grade tier 9 weapons in their hands, were no weaker than them at the moment. ¡°That¡¯s right, Lord Kun Peng. This is very unfair,¡± the rest of the Rulers shouted. ¡°The battle has begun. You may use any means.¡± Unfortunately, there was no response from the Demon Sealing Mirror. An ancient voice announced the start of the battle. ¡°This is good stuff. Why don¡¯t I switch to cultivating with a spear instead¡­?¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. The spear was the king of all weapons, and it would not be weaker than the way of the sword if it was cultivated to the extreme. ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Lin Mo held the War Demon Spear and took the initiative to attack. Many people had targeted him. The ones surrounding him were all Rulers with terrifying strength. Even with the War Demon Spear, he did not dare to take so many attacks head-on. The power of the War Demon Spear was also extraordinary. It was a heaven-grade tier 9 magic weapon, which was very terrifying. Ordinary people would not dare to block it. Even a fifth-level Ruler felt his scalp go numb and did not dare to take it head-on. All of a sudden, a bone saber fell from the side of Lin Mo¡¯s body. The sharp blade glinted, causing him to feel a sharp pain on his skin. Gongsun Wenhao made his move, brandishing his bone saber to attack him. The golden light on his body was like a waterfall, and few people could match it. ¡°Get lost.¡± Lin Mo shouted. He spun his spear and slashed down, suppressing the bone saber. At the same time, he slapped out with his palm and attacked the other party¡¯s face. Someone wanted to launch a sneak attack, but he was sent flying by the shockwaves from the collision of the War Demon Spear and the bone saber. ¡°Even if you have the God Devouring Body, you¡¯ll still die here today,¡± Gongsun Wenhao said coldly. The bone saber burst forth, shaking the War Demon Spear and slashing at Lin Mo again. ¡°Boom!¡± On the other side, Qilin had also encountered an opponent. Teng Feng and Bai Shan led many Rulers to besiege her. If it were not for the bell in her hand and the Ancient Qilin Tree floating behind her, it would have been difficult to resist. The arena was in a mess. Lin Mo and Gongsun Wenhao fought for a while and then retreated. They did not fight further. Lin Mo moved among the crowd, occasionally helping the Qilin relieve some pressure. At the same time, he was also trying to get close to the Demon Sealing Mirror. He wanted to use the replica to obtain the inheritance. Even so, he was interrupted by many people and could not get it. In the end, he could only give up. Mu Yuzhu met up with Lin Mo. The magic tool she had obtained was the dark green fan, a wind-attribute magic tool. With a gentle flap, a strong wind blew, isolating an area and making it impossible for anyone to approach. ¡°Try to knock those who are working together off the stage,¡± Mu Yuzhu said. She had seen through the trick. The arena was enveloped by the divine light of the Demon Sealing Mirror. The people inside would be fine if they touched it, but once they left the arena, they could not come back in. The Kun Peng¡¯s final test was like raising poison. It would determine who was the strongest. As for why the five of them were given magic tools, it was unknown. It might be related to their talents. Despite that, how could they understand what the Kun Peng was thinking¡­? ¡°Also, try to reduce the number of people from the Gongsun and Teng clans.¡± Mu Yuzhu and Lin Mo discussed and separated once more. They attacked at the same time and used all sorts of methods to start hunting. Lin Mo was on the verge of going crazy. His spiritual Qi burst out, and he used Abyssal Devouring. He held the War Demon Spear and cut through all the obstacles. At the same time, flames and lightning appeared around him. As they collided with each other, an even more powerful force erupted. The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind him, and a Kun Peng could be seen swimming in it. He pointed out with two fingers and activated Yin and Yang. ¡°Boom!¡± This was a terrifying attack. A fifth-level Ruler tried to block it but was sent flying. The Ruler retreated to the edge of the ring and spat out blood. He suffered a serious injury that was difficult to heal and almost died. ¡°Teng Feng, right? You¡¯re a little too arrogant.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He could feel that Qilin had used up a lot of spiritual Qi and needed to rest. He rushed to help. Gongsun Wenhao also caught up. The two exchanged a few blows, and finally, Lin Mo arrived in front of Qilin. ¡°Hurry up and eat it.¡± A divine medicine was taken out, and Qilin swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls. Her almost heaven-defying physique allowed her to quickly refine the medicinal power in her body. ¡°Help me stall for a minute.¡± Qilin sat cross-legged in the void, protected by the Ancient Qilin Tree. Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was fully unleashed. He circulated his Soul Devouring Art crazily, and his long spear was like a dragon as it collided fiercely with his opponent¡¯s magic tool. Teng Feng held the long staff in his hand and swung it down. Like a mountain, he tried to suppress Lin Mo. In the end, it was blocked by Lin Mo, whose spear struck down. Although Lin Mo passively blocked Teng Feng¡¯s attack, Teng Feng was still forced back thousands of meters. At the end of the battle, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng were both shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was ridiculously strong. Every time they collided, their arms would go numb. The weapons in their hands almost fell out. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and suppress him!¡± The people from the Gongsun clan called over a few Rulers and attacked Lin Mo together. After all, this was Cloud State, the territory of the Gongsun clan. Their dignity was still of some use. As long as they promised enough benefits and threatened them, they could command many people¡­ Even so, Qilin had also recovered by now. She exploded with terrifying power and helped Lin Mo share a lot of the pressure. Many people were dumbfounded by this, and they sighed in admiration. As expected of the God Devouring Body and the Qilin girl. The two of them were too powerful when they unleashed their full combat powers, and they were faintly and slowly becoming invincible. In the end, more and more people made their moves and suppressed them. This was because they felt that Lin Mo and Qilin were the biggest threats. Coupled with the fact that they were rogue cultivators, they would not be retaliated against. ¡°Mu Yuzhu, you have to think this through. Although the Mu clan is very strong, the Gongsun clan isn¡¯t weak either. This matter concerns the inheritance of the Kun Peng¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao said coldly as he looked at Mu Yuzhu, who was rushing over from not far away. Lin Mo and Qilin had not agreed to join the Mu clan yet. If Mu Yuzhu were to forcefully make a move, it would cause the relationship between the two clans to break. After all, this was the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. It was not a small fight. If Mu Yuzhu made a move and caused them to miss the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the Kun Peng, the two great clans might start fighting¡­ Chapter 638 - 638 Inside the Demon Sealing Mirror 638 Inside the Demon Sealing Mirror ¡°Tsk, what¡¯s so great about the Gongsun clan?¡± Qilin said angrily. She controlled the Ancient Qilin Tree and started to attack indiscriminately, expanding the battlefield. Many people were caught up in it and had no choice but to join the battle. ¡°Let¡¯s go together and kill them.¡± Some Rulers sneered, and people from various forces made their moves. Some wanted to deal with Lin Mo, while others wanted to act in the dark. After all, Lin Mo and Qilin were not the only obstacles in this test. Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng were also obstacles. The battlefield was expanding, and many Rulers were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battle. They felt that staying would be suicidal, so they could only leave the arena. When they saw the scene in the arena, they could not help but take a deep breath. The scene was too spectacular. Lin Mo and Qilin were fearless in the face of more than 30 people. They fought back and forth. Such combat power was truly terrifying. Some people even felt that Lin Mo was the one who should receive the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. After all, Qilin did not need an inheritance. Only Lin Mo, who was a rogue cultivator, was truly heaven-defying to have reached his level at the moment. The battle continued, but no one came to Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s aid. After seeing the two¡¯s terrifying combat powers, people were even more determined to eliminate them. In the end, other than Mu Yuzhu, everyone else was attacking Lin Mo and Qilin. The two of them did not have any chance to rest and could only keep fighting. ¡°Lin Mo, why don¡¯t you become my mother¡¯s disciple?¡± There were many bloodstains on Qilin¡¯s body, and her slightly tender face was extremely pale. The spiritual Qi in her body was almost exhausted. She wanted Lin Mo to leave. After all, the inheritance of the Qilin clan was not weaker than that of the Kun Peng. There was no other way. Any fifth-level Ruler was enough to take them on. Furthermore, people were surrounding them. This was simply too difficult. Without reinforcements, even leaving would be an extravagant hope. ¡°Eat this and find a chance to leave. I¡¯ll try one last time.¡± Lin Mo frowned and threw a divine pill and a divine elixir to Qilin. He did not have many left. Maintaining a high-intensity battle would consume a lot of spirit stones and elixirs. ¡°Then I¡¯ll create an opportunity for you. At most, I can stall for ten seconds.¡± Qilin nodded. She knew that Lin Mo did not want to give up and wanted to try one last time. ¡°Qilin Manifestation, Myriad Auspicious Spirits.¡± Qilin swallowed the divine pill in one gulp and kept the divine elixir. Then, she quickly made a hand gesture. The Ancient Qilin Tree behind her burst into a dazzling purple-gold light. Lines of Qilin patterns flickered and spread. ¡°Sh*t.¡± Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng instantly became alert. They were also extremely powerful, so they knew how powerful Qilin¡¯s move was. ¡°Boom!¡± Qilin activated her killer move to protect Lin Mo. She attacked indiscriminately, causing a terrifying explosion. Some of the lower-level Rulers were killed instantly. Even the fifth-level Rulers were spitting out blood. At the same time, the Kun Peng Wings appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s back. He flapped his wings and flew to the Demon Sealing Mirror. ¡°You can¡¯t get the inheritance if you don¡¯t compete for the strongest.¡± A voice came from the Demon Sealing Mirror. The words were dignified and irrefutable. ¡°Senior, please take a look at this.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth and took out the Demon Sealing Mirror from the system space and presented it. The system¡¯s introduction should not be wrong. There was a Kun Peng mark in the Demon Sealing Mirror replica. After activating it, one would be able to find the inheritance. Now that the inheritance had been found, Lin Mo did not know if the imitation of the Demon Sealing Mirror would still be useful. ¡°It¡¯s an imitation of mine. As expected of the person who accompanies the auspicious beast. You have great luck¡­¡± This time, the Demon Sealing Mirror¡¯s voice was much gentler with a little surprise. This scene caused everyone¡¯s expression to change. Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng rushed forward with all their might, wanting to attack Lin Mo. Mu Yuzhu, who was watching the battle from afar, was also flying over. She had not expected Lin Mo to have such a divine item. ¡°Fine. Although it doesn¡¯t conform to the rules set by the master, I¡¯m still a little interested in you.¡± Runes appeared on the Demon Sealing Mirror and enveloped Lin Mo. The replica was also shattered by the runes, turning into a stream of light and merging into the body of the Demon Sealing Mirror. Lin Mo was also absorbed inside. Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng¡¯s attacks landed on the Demon Sealing Mirror, but they did not cause the slightest ripple. ¡°D*mn it!¡± Gongsun Wenhao was furious. ¡°How did that happen? D*mn it ¡­¡± Even the usually calm Teng Feng was trembling. He could not accept this fact. ¡°Has it ended¡­?¡± Mu Yuzhu was the last to arrive, and she sighed. She knew she had no fate with the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance. At this moment, she was slightly regretful. If she had helped Lin Mo from the start, would Lin Mo have given her a share of the inheritance? ¡°Young Lady, what should we do?¡± Behind them, Su Qing flew onto the stage and stood in front of Mu Yuzhu. As it turned out, after Lin Mo entered the Demon Sealing Mirror, the restrictions on the arena disappeared, and many people had flown up. ¡°Young Master, the Qilin girl has run away.¡± Suddenly, a hurried voice was heard. Only then did people remember that there was another opportunity here, which was no weaker than the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance. However, when they came back to their senses, they realized that Qilin was no longer there. While everyone¡¯s attention was attracted, Qilin seized the opportunity and used the big bell in her hand to break through the space, allowing the Ancient Qilin Tree to take her away. In the Demon Sealing Mirror, Lin Mo was in a void. All he could see was pitch-black darkness. There were still many bloodstains on his body, and the spiritual Qi in his body was almost exhausted. ¡°Senior, are you still there?¡± Lin Mo called out, but to his horror, he could not hear his voice. ¡°I¡¯m deaf?¡± A ridiculous thought appeared in his mind. Lin Mo shook his head immediately and tried to use the little spiritual Qi in his body to create some light. As soon as the spiritual Qi left his body, it was out of his control, and there was no response. As for light, it did not exist at all. There was nothing here. Lin Mo tried to walk forward and found himself standing in the void. There was nothing under his feet and nothing around him. There was nothing here. In the empty space, there would be the occasional buzzing sound, but to Lin Mo, it was like the sound of nature. This was the only sound he could hear. ¡°This place seems to be devouring everything. It¡¯s similar to the God Devouring Body, but it¡¯s even more thorough. It even devoured my voice¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Was this the Kun Peng¡¯s art? It was so terrifying. What realm was it in? Was it an Emperor? Was it in the same realm as the owner of the Dao Seeking Garden in the Eastern Continent? Lin Mo walked forward. In a daze, he realized that there seemed to be a shadow appearing in the void. In the end, Lin Mo could finally see it. It was like a ghost, wandering aimlessly in the void. Its shriek was ear-piercing, and it made his soul throb. Chapter 639 - 639 The Kun Pengs Birthplace 639 The Kun Peng¡¯s Birthplace As Lin Mo continued walking, he finally saw light in front of him. It looked like starlight. He had recovered some of his spiritual Qi, refined a large number of spirit stones in the system space, and used the Soul Devouring Art to recover quickly. After recovering, his speed increased by quite a bit as he walked through the void. Aimlessly, he gradually saw the source of the light. It was a star, and he could even feel the aura of life on it. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Demon Sealing Mirror? Why is there a living thing here? ¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. He was shocked to find that he could hear what he was saying. ¡°Have I walked out of the void? In that case. this place can be considered the starry sky of the universe¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The Demon Sealing Mirror was indeed terrifying. It could create a universe in its body. That said, he did not know which was bigger¡ªthe universe here or the real universe? As he continued forward, Lin Mo discovered more and more stars, and there were many living beings on them. Occasionally, living beings would appear in the universe. They were very powerful and had majestic auras. They were so powerful that they caused the starry sky to tremble. Even so, they seemed to be unable to see Lin Mo and ignored him. As Lin Mo continued to move forward, he discovered more and more living beings. He did not know how far he had walked before he finally saw a familiar figure. In a sea of stars, the two forces of Yin and Yang mixed together. There were no signs of life in the sea of stars, only endless runes that were evolving. Gradually, the power of Yin and Yang took shape, forming a Yin Yang Taiji Diagram in the starry sea. In the Yin eye, a huge fish as black as ink appeared. There were patterns on its back, and it was tens of thousands of kilometers wide. Just by moving a little, it stirred the sea of stars, forming endless waves. In the Yang eye, a golden roc flew out. It flapped its wings and flew up 45,000 kilometers. The two gradually approached each other and fused together, finally giving birth to a new life. ¡°The Kun Peng¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked to see this. No one knew where the legendary divine beast Kun Peng came from. They only knew that it was extremely powerful and controlled the Dao laws of Yin and Yang. ¡°This is where my master, Kun Peng, was born. He was born with extraordinary cultivation. There are very few people in the world who could fight him.¡± The voice of the Demon Sealing Mirror was heard in front of Lin Mo, and the scene in front of him changed. The sea of stars disappeared, and so did the Kun Peng. Lin Mo appeared in a chaotic space with a huge mirror in front of him. It was the Demon Sealing Mirror. At this time, it was no longer damaged and was as good as new. Wisps of chaotic mist lingered around it. ¡°Greetings, senior.¡± Lin Mo said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner as he cupped his fists and bowed. Although he did not know why the Demon Sealing Mirror wanted him to see this, he did not dare to ask. He could only stand there. ¡°You seem to have a lot of secrets. I didn¡¯t sense that replica before.¡± The Demon Sealing Mirror laughed and asked Lin Mo why it was so. ¡°I have a space that can hide all auras. I can show you.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, he took out the War Demon Spear. The moment the spear appeared, it emitted waves of killing intent. After the Demon Sealing Mirror locked onto the War Demon Spear, Lin Mo kept it in the system space. ¡°Eh?!¡± A surprised voice came from the Demon Sealing Mirror, and a powerful fluctuation spread out. No matter how the Demon Sealing Mirror tried, it could not sense the space that Lin Mo had mentioned. It could not sense the aura of the War Demon Spear at all¡­ ¡°Truly amazing¡­ As expected of the human race¡¯s supreme physique. You have great fortune, talent, loyalty, and courage. You¡¯re qualified to receive my master¡¯s inheritance.¡± The Demon Sealing Mirror praised. The young junior in front of him had exceeded its expectations. ¡°Senior, please bestow me with the arts¡­¡± Lin Mo immediately knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands in anticipation. ¡°Of course, you have to promise me one thing. When you reach the Emperor realm, you have to return here and take me away. You have to find the birthplace of the Kun Peng and place me in it.¡± Lin Mo was very surprised that the Demon Sealing Mirror had made a request. Despite that, he did not think too much about it and immediately agreed. ¡°As long as I¡¯m alive, I¡¯ll definitely do it.¡± As soon as Lin Mo finished, he felt a swelling pain in his head. Countless messages were transmitted, and the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng poured in. In his consciousness, black and white runes filled the sky. They contained the Dao laws of Yin and Yang and were extremely mysterious. ¡°Have I finally obtained the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng¡­?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was definitely an inheritance that surpassed the heaven grade. There were no cultivation methods or martial arts in it. It was the most original runes. They were equivalent to the runes that were condensed by heaven and earth when the Kun Peng was born. With these runes, Lin Mo could use them to walk the path of the Kun Peng and gradually understand its various unique arts. For a moment, Lin Mo was a little obsessed and could not extricate himself from it. He comprehended arts in the Demon Sealing Mirror, and all kinds of runes evolved continuously, forming all kinds of martial arts. Lin Mo could not feel the flow of time, but he felt as if hundreds or even thousands of years had passed. At this moment, he felt that he had turned into a roc, looking down at the world. With a single glance, he could see the ups and downs of the world, and no one in the world could accompany him¡­ As he flapped its wings, the starry sky exploded, the void collapsed, and chaos appeared. It was as if the world was being split open and the universe was about to be reshaped¡­ After an unknown time, Lin Mo slowly woke up, the shock in his eyes was hard to contain. He was truly shocked. Splitting the heavens and earth and reconstructing the entire universe. Was that really something that could be achieved by human strength? At this moment, Lin Mo could feel that the Dao laws of thunder and fire that he had previously comprehended had completely disappeared. Even if he tried to recall them, it was useless. He had truly forgotten them. His eyes glowed with black and white light, forming a Taiji Diagram that contained countless runes. Lin Mo subconsciously waved his hand, and his body glowed. A golden light appeared, and he stood in the void like a god descending from heaven. As his palm landed, the universe trembled. The Yin and Yang Qis spread out and finally turned into runes that merged into his body. These were the two Dao laws of extreme Yin and Yang. Now that they had manifested, they were extremely powerful. They were not unfamiliar when Lin Mo activated them. It was as if he was born with these two Dao laws¡­ Lin Mo continued to comprehend and immerse himself in it. He imagined himself as a Kun Peng, fighting in the starry sky. To fight with thousands of races and to fight for hegemony¡­ Lin Mo began to fight and experience slaughter. In the era of the Kun Peng, no one dared to claim to be invincible. No one dared to say that they were undefeatable. He saw the other divine beasts. The Qilin came on auspicious clouds, bringing endless luck. Wherever it went, it was like the spring rain falling, blessing the earth¡­ The True Dragon roared and struck down the stars in the nine Heavens. Its claw cracked heaven and earth, triggering a great chaos tribulation¡­ Through the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance, Lin Mo was fortunate enough to see part of the Kun Peng¡¯s memories, which were from ancient times. It had been countless years since then, but it still made people yearn for it. Being born in that era was the sorrow of geniuses and the revelry of the strongest. Countless talents fell, and only a few creatures rose, leaving a strong mark on the world¡­ In the Demon Sealing Mirror, Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the void, seriously comprehending the inheritance of the Kun Peng and watching the scenes of its previous battle. Chapter 640 - 640 Ranked Seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank 640 Ranked Seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank At this moment, a group of people was anxiously waiting in the ring. The battle had stopped long ago. They were waiting for Lin Mo to come out so that they could snatch the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. A month had passed, but there was no movement in the Demon Sealing Mirror. On the other hand, the entire Northern Continent was in an uproar. The news of the Qilin girl had been leaked and could no longer be hidden. The appearance of the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance also caused a huge commotion in the Northern Continent. The Gongsun clan did not dare to be careless, so they had to send more people to Cloud Mist Island. Despite that, even the professional was still assassinated. Even Gongsun Wenhao was attacked and almost died. Obviously, the enemies of the Gongsun clan were secretly attacking. Some people wanted to snatch his bone saber, thinking that it was a supreme magic weapon. Although the inheritance of the Kun Peng had yet to appear, Cloud Mist Island was in a mess. Mu Yuzhu left with her maidservant, Su Qing. She held a jade-green fan in her hand, which was one of the magic items passed down from the Kun Peng. She had encountered the most terrifying assassination attempt. There was an omnipotent powerhouse outside who had weakened the restrictions on Cloud Mist Island. A peak Ruler entered, and she almost fell into a death trap. In the end, many elders of the Mu clan came to her rescue, which allowed her to escape. Even so, the Mu clan suffered heavy losses. More than a dozen people survived, and they escorted Mu Yuzhu away. The battle on Cloud Mist Island became even more intense. Half of the top forces in the Northern Continent received the news and sent troops over. Blood painted the sky red. Countless Rulers from the various forces had fallen. Within the Kun Peng Nest, there were even more corpses. Blood Qi filled the air, and corpses piled up into a mountain. The most precious inheritance of the Kun Peng and Qilin had yet to appear. To get nothing from the two supreme inheritances was the worst result for the various races. The Kun Peng inheritance that had been hidden for countless years finally appeared. In the end, it was obtained by a rogue cultivator. This was unacceptable. It was also as if Qilin had disappeared from the world. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find her whereabouts¡­ There were even people who took a formation from the strongest person and attacked the Demon Sealing Mirror because Lin Mo had not appeared for a long time. Nevertheless, this caused a terrifying disaster. Divine light scattered from the Demon Sealing Mirror and killed a large number of living beings on the spot. ¡°It¡¯s too terrifying. Unless the old ancestor comes, it¡¯s impossible to shake it¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go far away from this place of trouble. I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll die if we continue to stay.¡± ¡°Sigh, the whole of Cloud State is in chaos. Where can we go?¡± Someone sighed. Cloud State was destined to be lively. People from various races would stay here for a long time. They would not leave until Lin Mo and Qilin appeared¡­ At this moment, Lin Mo, who should have been the center of attention, was sitting cross-legged in the void, silently comprehending the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. It had been three months since he came in, and the war on Cloud Mist Island had stopped for more than a month. It could not be helped. The Qilin girl never appeared, so it was difficult to find her. There was no news of Lin Mo either, so the people could only stop the battle and wait for him to appear. At the same time, another piece of news was released, causing the entire Northern Continent to be in an uproar. The Dragon Pavilion announced that the ancient battlefield would open in two months and that there would be a total of 3,000 Immortality Spots. At the same time, the Dragon Pavilion once again refreshed the Hidden Dragon Rank. The Northern Continent was once again shocked, and even the neighboring Western Continent heard the news. ¡°The Hidden Dragon Rank has been refreshed. This is unbelievable. Isn¡¯t the ranking done too hastily¡­?¡± People were talking among themselves, looking at the Hidden Dragon Rank posted in every city. ¡°Ranked first on the Hidden Dragon Rank, the daughter of the ancient divine beast Qilin. She has the Chaos Bell, a heaven-grade tier 9 magic tool, and the Ancient Qilin Tree, an inherited magic tool of the Qilin Clan. She once fought against many Rulers at the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land and was undefeated!¡± The first place was Qilin. Few people refuted this because they felt that the daughter of an ancient divine beast was worthy of this ranking. ¡°Ranked second on the Hidden Dragon Rank, Xiao Yun, the young master of the Dragon Pavilion. He once faced the pursuit of over a hundred Rulers without using any magic tool and killed them all¡­¡± ¡°Ranked third on the Hidden Dragon Rank, Tang Ru, the seventh princess of the Holy Blood Water Dragon Clan¡­¡± ¡°Ranked fifth on the Hidden Dragon Rank¡­¡± ¡°Ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank, Lin Mo, the human God Devouring Body. He¡¯s a rogue cultivator and has obtained the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. He has the War Demon Spear, a heaven-grade tier 9 magic weapon. As he hasn¡¯t appeared for three months, he¡¯s ranked seventh.¡± The change in the Hidden Dragon Rank shocked everyone, but Lin Mo, who was the person involved, knew nothing about it. After spending three months, he had finally memorized the entire inheritance of the Kun Peng. It was imprinted in his soul and could not be forgotten. ¡°Swish!¡± As he raised his hand, he felt as if he was in control of Yin and Yang, and the power of the two laws spread. Lin Mo circulated them, and a Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared in his hand. A black Kun appeared. He raised his other hand. Another Yin Yang Taiji Diagram could be seen, and a Peng appeared. The two combined, causing the power to become even stronger. ¡°I feel that I have only comprehended a tenth of it¡­¡± Lin Mo let out a sigh. Was this the complete Kun Peng technique? It was too Grand. He had been studying it for three months, but he had only seen a tenth of it. Even so, he still benefited greatly and comprehended many Kun Peng techniques. ¡°Demon Sealing Mirror, are you still there?¡± Lin Mo asked. It was time to leave. The Kun Peng¡¯s arts could not be mastered in one go. They had to be done step by step. However, he did not know what was going on outside. Was there anyone still guarding outside the Demon Sealing Mirror? At the same time, he had no idea how to leave the Demon Sealing Mirror¡­ ¡°Buzz¡­¡± A wave of fluctuations spread out, and Lin Mo felt his vision blur as his surroundings changed. In a daze, there was a burst of fragrance that assailed his nose. At the same time, it was accompanied by the fragrance of wine. ¡°It smells so good!¡± Lin Mo mumbled. He seemed to have been sent out of the Demon Sealing Mirror, but he did not know where he was¡­ If he was still in the Kun Peng Nest, that would be bad news. If word got out, the entire Northern Continent would go crazy. ¡°Who is it?¡± Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice was heard. A purple-gold light appeared, and a slightly petite figure dashed out of the forest. Her eyes were alert, and her body exuded a powerful spiritual aura. A Qilin pattern appeared on her palm as she struck out at Lin Mo¡¯s face. ¡°Qilin¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned when he saw the attack, but he quickly nodded in relief. The little girl was fine and was very alert. It was not in vain that he had been patiently teaching her to be careful at all times¡­ On second thought, for Qilin to be like this, she must have suffered a lot during this period. ¡°Ah, Lin Mo, it¡¯s you¡­¡± When Qilin saw that it was Lin Mo, she immediately threw herself into his arms. ¡°That¡¯s great. You¡¯ve finally come out. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine¡­¡± She heaved a long sigh of relief. She had been very worried for the past three months because the Kun Peng Nest had been cordoned off. All the forces were looking for her while waiting for Lin Mo to come out. ¡°The Demon Sealing Mirror sent me here. By the way, where is this place?¡± Lin Mo smiled and asked Qilin about how long he had been in seclusion, what he had missed, and where he was. ¡°This is Demon State, a paradise for rogue cultivators. It¡¯s also a world of evil and slaughter.¡± Chapter 641 - 641 The Auspicious Beast’s Luck 641 The Auspicious Beast¡¯s Luck Qilin slowly explained everything. That day, she used the Ancient Qilin Tree to break through the space. Although she was innocent, she knew that something big would happen next. Therefore, she did not stay for long and left Cloud Mist Island immediately. Then, she forcefully consumed her origin and used the Ancient Qilin Tree to tear open the space, leaving Cloud Mist City. After traveling through the mountains for a month, she left Cloud State through a teleportation formation in an unremarkable city. Not long after that, all the teleportation formations in Cloud State were heavily guarded. She traveled all the way and finally arrived at Demon State, which was more than a dozen states away from Cloud State. As long as she did not expose herself, no one would ever think that she was hiding in Demon State. ¡°Have you obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng?¡± Qilin asked carefully. After paying such a huge price and consuming so many divine pills and elixirs in the battle, it would be a great loss if Lin Mo did not get it. ¡°Of course, and it¡¯s all thanks to you. Thank you.¡± Lin Mo smiled and patted Qilin¡¯s head, expressing his sincere gratitude. ¡°Hehe, since that¡¯s the case, then hurry up and hand over the divine elixirs and pills. Come, I¡¯ll treat you to a big meal. Qilin giggled as she pulled Lin Mo into the depths of the forest. She had set up a concealment formation here, which blocked all auras and had a defensive effect at the same time. When Lin Mo got closer, he saw a small white jade cauldron filled with soup. He could vaguely see a meat spread floating inside. There were also many elixirs added to it, but there were no heaven-grade divine elixirs. What attracted Lin Mo the most was the large bell that was embedded in the ground on the other side. It was the Chaos Bell, a heaven-grade tier 9 magic tool that Qilin got from the Kun Peng¡¯s Heritage Land. Nonetheless, at this moment, the Chaos Bell was used as a wine container by Qilin. The fragrance of the wine wafted through the air, and even Lin Mo was tempted. ¡°Divine brew¡­¡± Lin Mo quickly moved closer, grabbed a small bowl placed at the side, scooped some wine, and drank it. A fragrance lingered in his mouth. It was slightly spicy, followed by a sweet taste. A cool and refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed¡­ ¡°This is good wine¡­¡± Lin Mo praised. He filled another bowl and drank it in one go. ¡°Hehe, I got this by chance half a month ago.¡± Qilin smiled smugly. Some time ago, she accidentally entered a cave dwelling. Surprisingly, there were no demonic beasts inside. There was only a large jar of brewed wine. Just like that, she obtained a jar of divine brew without any effort¡­ There was at least one heaven-grade divine elixir in it¡­ ¡°Oh, I also found this. I don¡¯t know what it is but take a look.¡± As Qilin spoke, she took out an ocean-blue gem. It felt cool to the touch and exuded a special aura. ¡°Where did you get it?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. This was definitely something good. ¡°I picked it up on the side of the road. It looked okay, so I took it.¡± Qilin picked up her bowl and began to drink as well, speaking vaguely. Lin Mo could not help but sigh. ¡®You¡¯re really an auspicious beast. What kind of luck is this? You found the divine brew as soon as you entered a cave, and you even picked up a treasure on the road¡­¡¯ Lin Mo immediately stored it in the system space and let the system appraise it. [Ocean Blue Jade Essence, mostly found in the deep sea. A water-attribute cultivator who refines it can purify their attributes and increase their combat power. Earth-grade tier 9.] Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s mouth twitched, and he put the wine in his bowl in the system space as well. [Heavenly Immortal Wine, a heaven-grade divine brew. It¡¯s made from a variety of precious elixirs and then added with the Drunken Immortal Grass, a heaven-grade divine herb. It is brewed after a year of precipitation.] [Drinking it can nourish one¡¯s vitality. If one¡¯s origin is damaged, it can quickly recover¡­] ¡°What¡­?¡± ¡®I don¡¯t know what to say¡­ ¡®Is this what the auspicious White Qilin is like? She got whatever she lacked. This is too nature-defying. ¡®Is there really such a thing as luck in this world? She exhausted her origin to escape, and in the end, she obtained the Heavenly Immortal Wine¡­¡¯ ¡°What are you daydreaming about? The meat is already cooked. It¡¯ll be mushy if it¡¯s cooked further. Quickly put in the divine elixirs.¡± Qilin nudged Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder and urged him to put in the divine elixir. ¡°Oh¡­ Alright.¡± Lin Mo did not waste any time and quickly took out the remaining divine elixirs he had. He had used up too much in the battle. He had only four of them left, and he tore them all apart and threw them in. ¡°That¡¯s great¡­¡± Qilin rubbed her hands. There was wine, meat, and divine elixirs. This was what life should be like¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t be polite then.¡± She picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the ground, picked up a piece of dried meat, and put it in her mouth. The golden soup flowed out from the corner of her mouth, emitting a fragrant aroma. She ate with a satisfied look. Qilin¡¯s body glowed purple and occasionally had Qilin patterns on it. Her origin was recovering. She had been finding elixirs for three months, but because she could not find any divine elixirs, her injuries were delayed time and time again, and they were getting a little serious. Even the Heavenly Immortal Wine was useless. However, Lin Mo had just added four divine elixirs in one go, which were great supplements for her. The injuries on her origin were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. ¡°You should eat too. My cooking is very good. Let¡¯s have a toast.¡± Qilin asked Lin Mo to eat as well. This pot of soup was very nourishing, and she was glad that the meat inside was also extraordinary. Otherwise, she would be letting down the four divine elixirs. ¡°Alright, cheers. Let¡¯s find a city after we¡¯re done eating. I¡¯ll get you some divine elixirs.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The four divine elixirs were not enough to heal Qilin¡¯s injuries, but they would definitely stabilize them. As for the next step, he would have to rely on the system to earn divine elixirs. ¡°What did you say? You saw the events of the primordial era and the memories of the Kun Peng?¡± ¡°Did you see my mother? Is she very impressive?¡± Qilin¡¯s face was filled with longing. Hearing this, Lin Mo thought for a moment. The auspicious beast White Qilin was probably the mother of Qilin. Everywhere she went, she was revered by all. Her strength was also extraordinary. She had once fought with the Kun Peng, and the battle was so intense that the sun and moon lost their light. In the end, it shattered a piece of the starry sky and ended in a draw. ¡°Wow, I knew it. My mother must be very powerful.¡± Qilin raised her cup and smiled happily. Although her mother had passed away a long time ago, she understood that no one could withstand the passage of time. She was very satisfied to hear her mother¡¯s name again after so many years. Oh, this is a Cinereous Vulture in the Ruler realm. You killed it. Its meat is pretty good.¡± Lin Mo praised as he ate. This divine bird was extremely ferocious and difficult to hunt. After all, the other party had a terrifying speed, and it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to catch up to it. ¡°My luck was good. At that time, it was fighting with another divine bird for territory, and both sides were injured. I took advantage of it.¡± Qilin said casually after taking a sip of wine and enjoying the meal. This left Lin Mo speechless. Her luck¡­ ¡®She¡¯s simply a lucky star. With her by my side, what kind of divine elixir can¡¯t I find?¡± Lin Mo was elated. He had an auspicious White Qilin by his side. Even saints would not receive such treatment. ¡°Are you treating me like a tool? You want me to find treasures¡­¡± In the dense forest, Qilin muttered in dissatisfaction. She had drunk a lot of wine, and three-quarters of the divine brew in the Chaos Bell had been drunk. Although Lin Mo was envious, he was not greedy. He only accompanied Qilin to drink. Chapter 642 - 642 Demon States Rule 642 Demon State¡¯s Rule Qilin had also eaten more than half of the soup made from the vulture. Her little face was red as the divine wine was intoxicating. In addition, she had drunk so much that she was now drunk and expressing her dissatisfaction. ¡°I¡¯m trying to heal your injured origin completely.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and helped her to a nearby tree. He plucked some tender branches and leaves and laid them on the ground. After letting Qilin lie down, he washed the small white jade cauldron and the Chaos Bell and put them away. After doing all this, he walked out of the formation and guarded Qilin. ¡°Ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank. They¡¯re underestimating me¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. From the information he heard from Qilin, he was ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank at the moment. Meanwhile, Qilin was ranked first, pushing the young master of the Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun, down to second place. If they knew that Qilin was born prematurely with a congenital deficiency, perhaps they would not have let her be ranked first¡­ Lin Mo chuckled. At the same time, he did not have a good impression of the Dragon Pavilion. When he and Qilin enjoyed the delicious food and drank the divine wine earlier, Qilin let her guard down and complained a lot to him. The ancient battlefield had the grave of Qilin¡¯s mother, the ancient divine White Qilin. Qilin was also placed there to absorb the spiritual Qi essence that dissipated after her mother¡¯s death. Theoretically, she would need another 10,000 years before she could be born and inherit the complete Qilin inheritance, showing off her mother¡¯s glory. However, the Dragon Pavilion¡¯s people used their great magical powers to enter the place to refine jade seals. By accident, they barged into the graveyard and disturbed her, causing Qilin to be born early. This was also the reason Qilin stole the Dragon Pavilion¡¯s jade seal. She did it in anger. Nonetheless, this also led to her being hunted down, and she had to run for a long time before she could escape. After that, Qilin had to search for elixirs, kill demonic beasts, and devour their blood essences. Her days were very bitter. It was only when she met Lin Mo and was taken care of did she finally get rid of the hard days of wandering. ¡°I have to be fully prepared. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be easy to go to the Dragon Pavilion¡­¡± Lin Mo thought hard to himself, but he could not come up with any ideas. The Dragon Pavilion might not be the greatest force in the Northern Continent, but they were not far from it. There were not many who could fight them. If the Dragon Pavilion was offended, the entire Northern Continent would be doomed. ¡°Ah, I¡¯ll just take it one step at a time¡­¡± The next day! Lin Mo left the mountain range with Qilin. With Lin Mo leading the way, Qilin followed him into the city without any worries. On the way, Lin Mo taught Qilin the World-changing Technique to change her appearance. After all, their identities were sensitive. Once they were exposed, the entire Demon State would be at war. ¡°This city is a little small, and it experiences killing all year round. There¡¯s no sign of good luck, so I don¡¯t know if there are any treasures¡­¡± When they arrived at the town, Qilin shook her head. The smell of blood here was too strong, and she did not like it. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. ¡°This is only a small city, yet it has such a strong smell of blood. It is indeed a heaven for crime and killing¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The little girl beside him was having a hard time. From the moment they entered the city, she had been complaining, saying that if she had known earlier, she would not have come to Demon Sate and that it would have been better to go to another state¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no ruler here. It¡¯s a paradise for rogue cultivators. It¡¯s the easiest place to hide. Bear with it. Tonight, I¡¯ll use the liquid of divine medicines as a seasoning and roast meat for you to eat.¡± Lin Mo chuckled as he led Qilin to the largest auction house in the city. ¡°Guests, please come in. Are you here to consign or to auction?¡± As soon as they entered, several auras locked onto them. Even so, the two of them had changed their appearances and auras. They even hid their cultivation levels, so no one could tell. ¡°I¡¯m auctioning three treasures. Give me an estimated price,¡± Lin Mo said without any expression. As for Qilin, she was silent the entire time. She followed Lin Mo and did not make a sound. ¡°Take out your treasures. Red or white?¡± An old man walked into the guest room. He was the appraiser of the auction house, and he sat opposite Lin Mo with an arrogant expression. ¡°Wind Spirit Lotus, an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, Ocean Blue Jade Essence, earth-grade tier 9, and Luo Shui Sword, an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon.¡± Lin Mo took out the three treasures, and the guest room was instantly filled with the fragrance of elixirs. ¡°Right, they¡¯re all red goods.¡± The old man¡¯s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Immediately, he circulated his spiritual Qi and sealed the place to prevent the fragrance of the elixirs from spreading. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for being impolite.¡± The old man stood up and bowed to Lin Mo solemnly. He then sat down and carefully examined the three treasures. ¡°What are red and white goods?¡± Qilin, who was next to Lin Mo, blinked and looked at him in confusion. Could it be that Lin Mo had been here before? How could he be so familiar with the style here? ¡°White goods are treasures that can see the light, red goods¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He heard this on the way here. ¡°Are treasures that have seen blood¡­ Little girl, you have to follow this man well. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be in danger in Demon State.¡± The appraiser raised his head and gave Qilin a smile that did not look like a smile. There was an unspoken rule in Demon State that the treasures one had and found in the mountains were white goods. As long as one was powerful enough, one could buy and sell such treasures openly. As for red goods, they were stolen from other people or robbed from merchants. They had seen blood and were not properly obtained. If they were auctioned, it would be extremely easy for people to seek revenge, so the seller would say that they were red goods in advance and ask the auction house to help keep it a secret. The auction house also followed this rule and kept secrets strictly. This was how they could survive. After all, those who did not keep their mouths shut would not be able to live for more than a few months. ¡°Help me arrange them at this auction. Also, I¡¯m going to participate in the auction.¡± As Lin Mo spoke, he took a VIP card from the appraiser and left in satisfaction. Under the guidance of a maid, he and Qilin arrived at the auction house. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since my last auction¡­¡± A familiar aura hit Lin Mo in the face. The auction house was very popular. He seemed to have arrived a little late as the auction was about to end. ¡°Everyone, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯ll add three more treasures at the last minute. Please don¡¯t blame me.¡± The auction moved very quickly. Lin Mo had just brought Qilin into the private room corresponding to the VIP card when his treasures were brought up. ¡°This is the Ocean Blue Jade Essence, a precious material of earth-grade tier 9. Is anyone here of the water element? Don¡¯t miss it.¡± After a brief introduction, the auction began immediately. The auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer and said, ¡°An earth-grade tier 9 Ocean Blue Jade Essence. The starting price is five million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 100,000 spirit stones higher. ¡°Are you kidding me? Five million?¡± Lin Mo suddenly sat up. It was just an Ocean Blue Jade Essence. How could it be worth so much? ¡°Wow, the stone I picked up is so valuable.¡± Qilin also sat up with a smug look. ¡°How dirty¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. Demon State was truly chaotic, and the prices of treasures were also ridiculously expensive¡­ If it were any other state, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence would have been sold for five million spirit stones. Lin Mo did not expect that five million was only the starting price here. Did the people here not have a conscience when they earned dirty money? Chapter 643 - 643 Average Gains 643 Average Gains ¡°Dirty? Could it be that they priced it too low?¡± Qilin asked. They were in short supply of spirit stones and were in urgent need of various elixirs for cultivation. They could not afford to be schemed against. ¡°No, it¡¯s too high. Five million is the deal price of the Ocean Blue Jade Essence¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. After seeing the market price in Demon State, he had the idea of building a force again. He had a system that gave him treasures at rebates. It would be zero-cost profiteering for him here. ¡°No way¡­¡± Qilin was shocked. If the deal price was announced as the starting price, would anyone still buy it? In fact, her worries were unnecessary. The Ocean Blue Jade Essence was still very precious, so many people were bidding for it. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Ocean Blue Jade Essence was raised to 6.5 million. Even so, there were still three people competing. ¡°Six million six hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Six million eight hundred thousand.¡± The auction reached its climax. Many people were cheering, and the atmosphere was unusually lively. Under such an atmosphere, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence was successfully auctioned off at the high price of seven million spirit stones. ¡°I can stay in Demon State for a while longer¡­¡± Lin Mo immediately decided to profit from Demon State. Otherwise, he would have come for nothing. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 material, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence.] [Successfully triggered a 1,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining an earth-grade tier 9 material, First Water Fine Gold.] ¡°As expected¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. There were pros and cons to this, and the cons were a little obvious ¡­ In other places, auctioning off earth-grade tier 9 materials and elixirs could give him something heaven-grade in return. Here, the rebate was too little. What he got in return was not even half a step into heaven grade, let alone heaven grade. ¡°We earned an extra two million spirit stones. Let¡¯s go to the deep mountains more and dig up more treasures to sell. We can make a lot of money.¡± Qilin was extremely excited. What they lacked at the moment were cultivation resources. However, with her identity as an auspicious beast, it would be easy to find treasures. Before entering the ancient battlefield, they would definitely be able to earn a fortune. ¡°Yes, and Demon State is the safest place in comparison.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. There were pros and cons to this. Demon State was chaotic, so he did not have to worry about his identity being exposed. ¡°Alright, the next item is an earth-grade tier 9 magic tool, the Luo Shui Sword. It is also a magic tool for water element cultivators.¡± A magic tool would be welcomed no matter where it was. The higher-ranked ones, in particular, would be placed in treasure vaults as inheritances even by major forces. ¡°The Luo Shui Sword was appraised to be expensive to make, so the starting price is set at eight million high-grade spirit stones. ¡°Each bid must be at least 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.¡± After the auctioneer finished speaking, he knocked the hammer in his hand, announcing the start of the auction. ¡°Eight million five hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Eight million seven hundred thousand.¡± There were many treasures in Demon State. There would be earth-grade tier 9 weapons in a small city like this, but there were not many of them. No one expected one to appear today, so half of the people were extremely excited. They all wanted to bid for the Luo Shui Sword, not wanting to miss it. Unfortunately, after the auction went on for a while, there were only a dozen people left who were willing to bid. It could not be helped. In such a short time, the price of the Luo Shui Sword had reached 11 million. According to Lin Mo¡¯s estimation, the Luo Shui Sword¡¯s price would be raised to at least 15 million. This was equivalent to some extremely high-quality spiritual medicines. ¡°You¡¯re right. This is Demon State, and it¡¯s chaotic. Even in the city, there are many killings. ¡°To them, spiritual medicine is precious, but magic tools that can increase combat power in the shortest time are the most popular.¡± Due to those reasons, the price of magic tools would rise by a level. ¡°What if I auction divine medicine? The price will be even higher¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. That said, there was another possibility, and that was that he would be targeted by someone who would directly rob the auction house¡­ ¡°What did you say? We don¡¯t even have enough divine medicine and you still want to auction them?¡± When Qilin heard Lin Mo¡¯s words, she was instantly displeased. They did not have a single divine medicine at the moment, so they had to slowly search for one or go to a bigger city to buy one. When she heard that Lin Mo wanted to sell divine medicine, she was extremely displeased. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll only sell them when I have enough divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo laughed. Even if he wanted to sell them now, he could not because he no longer had any divine medicine on hand. ¡°I hope that I can obtain divine medicine this time¡­¡± Lin Mo prayed in his heart as he waited for the auction to end. Unsurprisingly, the price of his Luo Shui Sword was raised to 15.5 million high-grade spirit stones. If it was sold in other regions, it would probably only be sold at half the price. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Luo Shui Sword, an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon.] [Successfully triggered a 200-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon, the Cold Spirit Sword.] This time, the rebate was even lower. An azure spirit sword appeared in the system space, emitting a cold light. Although it was powerful, Lin Mo did not think much of it. To him, this magic weapon was equivalent to another 15 million high-grade spirit stones¡­ ¡°The next item is the third last item. It¡¯s said to be a defective divine pill. I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true. ¡°After our appraiser¡¯s appraisal, this is a degraded divine pill. It was originally of heaven-grade tier 1. ¡°Due to the passage of time, 70 ¨C 80% of its medicinal properties have been lost, so its grade has dropped a lot. It¡¯s now of earth-grade tier 9.¡± As the auctioneer introduced, the maid behind brought out a silver plate. On the silver plate was a jade bottle with runes engraved on it. Even though it was sealed by runes, Lin Mo could still smell an extremely rich pill fragrance. ¡°It¡¯s the fragrance of a divine pill.¡± Qilin also smelled it and was certain that it was a divine pill. ¡°However, compared to a real heaven-grade divine pill, it¡¯s still much weaker. The aura is right, but it¡¯s a little weak.¡± She shook her head. If the medicinal effect had weakened so much, then the original medicinal effect of the divine pill had also been destroyed. Even if they bought it, they would only absorb the spiritual Qi inside. The original medicinal effect of the divine pill was lost, and it was not worth it to buy it at a high price. ¡°Do you think we should buy it?¡± Lin Mo asked. It was better to let Qilin make the decision. ¡°No, but you can if you want to. With me around, you won¡¯t lose anything, but I don¡¯t know if you can make a profit.¡± Qilin said with uncertainty. At the same time, she also told Lin Mo not to rely too much on luck. He had not reached the stage where he could get in contact with luck. Karma was very mysterious. If one had excessive contact with too much power beyond one¡¯s own, one would be easily killed. ¡°Killed? Who would want to kill me?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. He did not understand why Qilin would say that. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, that is what was written on my inheritance mark. Don¡¯t rely too much on luck, or it¡¯ll be difficult to take the last step in the future.¡± As for which step it was, Qilin did not know. Therefore, the ability to determine the value of a treasure by observing its fate should not be used unless there was no other way. Chapter 644 - 644 The Bone of a Divine Bird in the Saint Realm 644 The Bone of a Divine Bird in the Saint Realm ¡°Then can we still go and find divine medicine?¡± Lin Mo felt a little regretful. It was a pity that he could not use such great help. ¡°Sure. As long as I¡¯m with you, your luck will be very good. This isn¡¯t dependence. ¡°This is the talent of the auspicious beast. I mean, if it¡¯s not necessary, don¡¯t take the initiative to let me see where the treasure is and how much the treasure is worth.¡± After hearing Qilin¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo finally understood. It turned out that Qilin could even rely on the auspicious Qi on her body to judge what a treasure was and how much a treasure was worth¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t use this function in the future. Let me make the judgment.¡± The warning that was written into Qilin¡¯s inheritance by her mother could not be ignored. In the future, it would be better to let Lin Mo use the system to judge. ¡°Okay. Your appraisal skill is truly amazing. You can appraise anything.¡± Qilin nodded obediently. While the two of them were chatting, the divine pill was also won by someone else. Since it was once a divine pill, it caused quite a stir. ¡°The second last item is an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Wind Spirit Lotus. ¡°This is a rare treasure. It¡¯s an extraordinary existence among elixirs. If the environment is good enough, it has a chance of advancing to a half-step divine medicine.¡± As the auctioneer continued to introduce the item, the crowd below started to get excited. There were even some who were holding the weapons at their waists, their eyes filled with hesitation. In Demon State, it was not uncommon to rob auction houses. Each party was ruthless, and it all depended on who was stronger. Seeing this, Lin Mo frowned. He did not want the auction to be ruined. At the very least, they had to wait for his Wind Spirit Lotus to be auctioned before they started fighting. That way, Lin Mo would not have to make a move. Of course, the premise was that he had to receive the spirit stones he gained from the auction¡­ ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m sure some of you can¡¯t wait any longer. Don¡¯t get too excited. The starting price for the Wind Spirit Lotus is ten million.¡± The auctioneer could naturally sense the atmosphere below the stage, but he was used to it. He continued to explain the auction item by himself and let everyone bid for it. At the same time, several powerful auras appeared near the auction house. Many people¡¯s expressions changed as they felt the aura of a Ruler. Moreover, there was more than one of them. This made people feel a wave of fear. ¡°As expected of Demon State. They must be something to have the guts to open an auction house here¡­¡± Lin Mo gasped in admiration. To think that there would be three Rulers hidden in an auction in such a small city. Although two of the Rulers had just broken through, they were still considered to have a deep foundation. ¡°I hope there won¡¯t be any trouble. I still want to see the finale.¡± Qilin looked at the auction hall with great interest. Through the window of the private room, she could see that many people in the hall were trembling. The greedy person just now should be glad that he did not make a move. ¡°21 million.¡± Bidding voices rose one after another, and the final price was also very high. It was not easy for a Wind Spirit Lotus that could not be considered a precious treasure to be auctioned for a price close to that. Of course, this price was only available in Demon State. In other places, it would almost be impossible. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Wind Spirit Lotus.] [Successfully triggered a 3,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a half-step heaven-grade Wind Spirit Lotus.] The system¡¯s voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and an exquisitely-shaped lotus flower appeared in the system space. It was still a Wind Spirit Lotus, but it was half a step to heaven grade. This one had completely matured, and its color was not the best. It had basically grown to its end. If it did not have some fortuitous encounter, it would not become a heaven-grade divine medicine. ¡°A half-step heaven-grade divine medicine? Not bad. I also obtained many spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo did not think too much about it and looked at the auction stage. At this moment, the last maidservant stepped forward. At the same time, the atmosphere of the auction gradually increased. The crowd stared at the maidservant without blinking. To be precise, it was the silver plate in the maid¡¯s hand, which was the finale of the auction. Even from the private room at the front, several domineering auras also came out, each one targeting and balancing the other. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m sure everyone can¡¯t wait any longer. The next item to appear will be the finale of this auction. ¡°This aura!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he sensed a familiar yet terrifying aura from the silver plate. ¡°Yes, yes. It¡¯s the Kun Peng¡­¡± Qilin nodded. She had also sensed it and was a little nervous. The incident in Cloud State had spread. The entire Northern Continent knew that Lin Mo had received the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng. It was hard to imagine that a treasure related to the Kun Peng had appeared here and was even listed as the finale¡­ The red cloth was lifted. It was a piece of a broken bone. No one could tell which part it belonged to, and there were no runes on it. If not for Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng arts, he would not have sensed that this bone was related to the Kun Peng. ¡°That¡¯s not right. The remains of a divine beast don¡¯t look like this. I¡¯ve seen my mother¡¯s. This aura is too weak¡­¡± Qilin shook her head and realized that something was wrong. She had the most right to speak about this and could see the difference at a glance. ¡°Could it be that it went through a lot and has been eroded by time?¡± Lin Mo asked. After all, no one could withstand the passage of time. Even a divine beast¡¯s bone could not possibly remain forever after its death. ¡°No, this isn¡¯t the Kun Peng¡¯s bone. It should be that of its descendant. ¡°Not a pure-blood descendant.¡± Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned. Could a descendant of the Kun Peng not be pure-blooded? With its terrifying divine beast bloodline, how powerful must its partner¡¯s bloodline be to be able to compete with the Kun Peng¡¯s bloodline and be passed down together¡­? ¡°This is a strange bone. It should be from a divine bird. According to my initial estimation, it should be the bone of a divine bird of the Saint realm. It¡¯s extremely valuable,¡± the auctioneer said. ¡°What did you just say?¡± The auction house was in an uproar. Everyone subconsciously activated their spiritual Qi. If it was not for the fact that their reason was still suppressing their greed, they would have taken action. Even so, everyone¡¯s eyes flickered, and all kinds of killing intent and cold auras emerged. ¡°Is it really the bone of a divine bird in the Saint realm? If it¡¯s real, and if it is refined into a magic tool, it¡¯ll at least be of heaven-grade tier 7.¡± A woman¡¯s voice came from the private room in the front. ¡°Can you guarantee that it¡¯s the bone of a divine bird in the Saint realm? Don¡¯t try to fool us with a random piece of a bone,¡± someone on the other side said. ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re talking about a divine bird in the Saint realm. It is an existence that can destroy our entire city with a single slap.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s from some ancient ruins.¡± People were discussing and asking the auctioneer to prove whether or not it was the bone of a divine bird in the Saint realm. Even Lin Mo was interested in the bone. ¡°Everyone, you can come up to the stage to take a look. You can appraise it as long as the bone isn¡¯t damaged.¡± The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully. Every time an auction was held, it was like a test of life and death for him. This was Demon State, so it would not be strange if news of a city being massacred appeared. ¡°You stay here while I go and check it.¡± Lin Mo took this matter very seriously. He told Qilin that he wanted to go out and take a look. Chapter 645 - 645 Trouble Came 645 Trouble Came No matter what it was, as long as it was related to the Kun Peng, Lin Mo had to take a good look. After all, he had obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng. He had to investigate everything related to it carefully. ¡°Sir, are you interested in the Divine Bird Bone?¡± Outside Lin Mo¡¯s private room, there were guards and maids in charge of the guests¡¯ safety. After all, he auctioned red items, so they had to ensure his safety during the auction. ¡°I¡¯m a little interested and want to go up and take a look.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He was the first to walk up the auction stage under the guidance of the maidservant. ¡°Please take a look and try to attack it. I think it¡¯s hard enough to withstand the full-force attack of the Rulers of our auction house.¡± The auctioneer said to Lin Mo, revealing another secret. ¡°Is that so¡­?¡± Lin Mo nodded and walked up to the bone to examine it carefully. However, it was just a bone to him, and there was nothing special about it. Lin Mo reached out and held it in his hand. His palm glowed, and the Extreme Yang Dao Law manifested in his body. In the next moment, he ignited the flames in his hand and enveloped the bone. At the same time, after concealing his aura, Lin Mo stored the bone in the system space. [The remains of the Golden-winged Roc. Its bloodline is pure. By chance, it obtained a drop of the Kun Peng¡¯s blood essence and began to evolve toward the Kun Peng.] [After failing and dying, the bone left behind carries the aura of the Kun Peng. It is indestructible and can be used to refine magic tools.] The system¡¯s introduction came, but the result disappointed Lin Mo. This was not the Kun Peng Bone. It was just a piece of bone from a Golden-winged Roc. The roc failed in the end and only left some broken bones. ¡°I¡¯m done examining it. This is a good material for forging.¡± Lin Mo nodded. It was still somewhat valuable. He did not want to refine weapons. Instead, he wanted to auction the bone somewhere else and get a treasure in return. He estimated that he would be able to get a large sum of spirit stones if he continued to auction the Divine Bird Bone. After putting down the bone, Lin Mo returned to the private room, and a few more people went up to check. Even so, they did not get any results. Other than its hardness, there were no other clues. It could be used for forging, but such a small piece was simply too small. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s just a piece of material. Even though it¡¯s the bone of a Saint, the divinity within it has long disappeared.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity. In this way, its value will be greatly reduced. If one can¡¯t extract blood essence and divinity from it, one can only refine weapons or set up formations with it¡­¡± After examining it, the people in the private room started discussing it and felt that the value of the bone was not high. ¡°The starting price is 20 million high-grade spirit stones.¡± The auctioneer saw that these people were not very interested and were even trying to belittle the value of the Divine Bird Bone, so he quickly struck the auction hammer. The auction began, but not many people were interested. Besides, not everyone could afford to pay 20 million high-grade spirit stones. Furthermore, the most important treasures were usually auctioned by the people in the private room at the front. The ones who were sitting in the main hall would not join in the fun. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 21 million.¡± No one called out a bid, and the auction was silent for a full minute. In the end, it was Lin Mo who spoke up and raised the price by one million. The bone¡¯s value was definitely not just that. Despite that, no one could recognize the value of the bone. This was normal. After all, if Lin Mo had not cultivated the Kun Peng¡¯s arts and had the system, he would not have been able to see the extraordinariness of the bone. ¡°21 million, deal.¡± The auctioneer waited for a full three minutes, and some people in the crowd were getting impatient. Only then did he knock on the auction hammer, announcing the end of the auction. Just like that, no one fought for the final treasure, and it was taken by Lin Mo in such a muddled manner¡­ ¡°21 million. How much can we earn if we resell it?¡± Qilin asked curiously. She had just been born not long ago. Even though she heard about the bone from Lin Mo, she still did not know its exact value. ¡°By a conservative estimate, two heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicines. It¡¯s a huge profit.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This bone could be used to make heaven-grade magic tools of at least rank five and above. Although he had to find a blacksmith and prepare the rest of the materials himself, it would be worth it. ¡°That¡¯s great. Let¡¯s go and trade. We¡¯ll head to the next city immediately.¡± Qilin cheered in joy. Under Lin Mo¡¯s influence, she had learned to be on her guard and was about to go to the next city to resell the treasure. ¡°Don¡¯t make a big deal out of this. Put on your cape and bamboo hat.¡± After reminding Qilin, the two of them walked out of the private room and saw an unfamiliar face. The person who came was a woman. She was followed by four or five people, each of whom was a powerful expert. Lin Mo was also shocked by this woman. She was a first-level Ruler. In this small city, there were only a few Rulers, and he met one just like that¡­ ¡°Can I help you?¡± he asked. Lin Mo asked with a frown. He had been keeping a low profile the entire time, trying not to attract attention. Even so, he was still targeted because of the auction of the Divine Bird Bone. ¡°You¡¯re not a familiar face here. May I know your name?¡± The woman giggled and twisted her slender waist. She moved her femme fatale-like face closer to Lin Mo with a hint of charm. ¡°Vixen, are you that thirsty? You can¡¯t wait to seduce a sugar daddy.¡± On the other side, a brawny man walked out of the private room with a large horse-slashing sword on his back. He had a fierce look that made people not dare to approach him. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say I¡¯ll be lucky by your side? Trouble came so quickly¡­¡± Lin Mo sent a voice transmission to Qilin. The man and woman were not friendly and had set their eyes on him. ¡°Two people who have just advanced to Rulers. Aren¡¯t they here to give away treasures?¡± Qilin chuckled. If it was not for the fact that the venue was not right, she would have made a move. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll take my leave first. Goodbye,¡± Lin Mo said coldly, not giving the man and woman any face. The two of them did not mind. The woman covered her mouth and teased, ¡°Captain Man Xiong, it seems like you don¡¯t have much face¡­¡± Many people could not help but pity Lin Mo and Qilin as they watched them leave. After offending the troublemakers, it would probably be difficult for Lin Mo and Qilin to even walk out of this city¡­ In the guest room, Lin Mo counted the spirit stones he had and could not help but curse. ¡°How dirty¡­¡± In Demon State, the auction house would charge a 15% service fee, which was three times that of other places. ¡°Yeah, they¡¯re too dirty.¡± Qilin also nodded in agreement. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s take care of our stalkers and head to the next city.¡± After being sent out of the auction house by the maidservant, before Lin Mo had the time to say anything, he pulled Qilin and leaped up. ¡°Boom!¡± A large crack appeared where he had just been standing, and a sharp horse-slashing blade slashed down. The force was heavy, showing the ruthlessness of the attacker. Even if Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was extraordinary, he would still suffer some superficial injuries if the attack hit him¡­ ¡°This is chaotic, but it¡¯s good. It saves me trouble¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He had just left the auction house, and the man from before was in such a hurry to make a move. Nonetheless, this was also good. It would save him a lot of trouble. There were often battles in the city, and the people nearby were used to it. ¡°Don¡¯t reveal your magic tool. Let¡¯s end this quickly.¡± Lin Mo grinned. Chapter 646 - 646 Fire City 646 Fire City It was the two people from before who attacked. They thought that Lin Mo and his companion could be bullied, so they attacked. Of course, they also got some information from the auction house. For instance, Lin Mo had auctioned his treasures there. ¡°Boom!¡± The battle continued for some time, and the surroundings were filled with formations to prevent the streets from being destroyed. Although Lin Mo could not use many techniques, he could still use the Kun Peng runes. He only concealed his aura and exploded with monstrous combat power. After a few hundred moves, Lin Mo and Qilin finished off their opponents and obtained many good items from them. ¡°Unfortunately, there¡¯s no divine medicine¡­¡± Qilin sighed. These were two kings, but they only had a few rank 9 Earth Class spirit herbs. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We should leave this place first.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and left the place with Qilin. After a long time, people started to talk. They were very shocked. There were battles everywhere in Demon State. However, the death of two Rulers caused a huge commotion¡­ ¡°Here, this is a half-step heaven-grade Wind Spirit Lotus. Eat it.¡± As Lin Mo flew through the spatial passageway of the teleportation formation, he took out the half-step heaven-grade Wind Spirit Lotus that he obtained earlier. ¡°Where did you get it?¡± Qilin was confused. Did Lin Mo not run out of stock? Why did he take out another half-step of divine medicine? ¡°I bought it from an auction, but it¡¯s a pity it¡¯s not a divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo made up a random excuse and started to plan his next trip. With their strengths, they could definitely protect themselves. They could cultivate in Demon State for some time, gather materials, and then head to the Dragon Pavilion to enter the ancient battlefield. On the way, Lin Mo once again experienced the chaos in Demon State. People were fighting in the spatial passageway of the teleportation formation. It was obvious that the two sides had a long history of enmity. The battle that erupted even affected the spatial passageway. Naturally, Lin Mo did not want to get involved in these battles. He auctioned elixirs in some cities along the way while keeping a low profile. After that, he used spirit stones to purchase elixirs and prepared to auction them in the next city. ¡°Before the ancient battlefield opens, there¡¯ll be a few preliminaries to filter out those who try to take advantage of the situation.¡± Lin Mo recalled the information he received recently. Meanwhile, Qilin was holding a White Jade Ginseng in her hand and eating it happily. This was what Lin Mo had obtained from the auction today. He had traveled through more than a dozen cities before finally obtaining a divine medicine. ¡°That¡¯s none of our business. Didn¡¯t we get on the list?¡± Qilin said vaguely. ¡°Our next stop is Fire City. I heard that the city Lord is a quasi-Saint. We can¡¯t expose ourselves¡­¡± Qilin did not care about this at all and said, ¡°With our luck, as long as we don¡¯t take the initiative to cause trouble, there won¡¯t be any powerhouses looking for trouble.¡± Then, she became excited again and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. ¡°By the way, Fire City is also one of the major cities. There must be some divine medicines there.¡± Not to mention anything else, her previous consumption could only be made up for with divine medicine. In the past few days, she had only eaten one White Jade Ginseng. The rest were all half-step divine herbs. ¡°Let¡¯s go and see the situation.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had more than a dozen earth-grade tier 9 elixirs with him, and they were all carefully selected. It was so that not too many people would compete for them at the auction in Fire City. Lin Mo and Qilin walked out of the teleportation formation, and the void behind them closed up. Some specialized guards came over to collect the fee for activating the teleportation formation. The environment in Fire City was rather dry and hot. It was filled with fire-elemental spiritual Qi, and one could even vaguely sense the fire-elemental Dao Law. This might be the origin of Fire City¡¯s name. The city was mainly red in color, and there were many people on the streets. Compared to other cities, Fire City was much more orderly. At least, when Lin Mo and Qilin entered the city, the guards warned them not to fight with anyone in the city and that they had to go to the fighting arena to do that. ¡°Boom!¡± The ground shook, and the void behind them cracked open. More living beings walked out of the teleportation formation. More than a hundred huge rhinoceros emerged, the horns on their foreheads crimson red. They let out a series of low roars, and their iron hooves stomped down, causing the ground to shake. ¡°Red Flame Rhinoceroses, very powerful beasts. They¡¯re proficient in the fire attribute and also have brute force¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. It looked like a race, and he could feel the aura of many Rulers. ¡°They should be delicious¡­¡± Qilin said in a low voice, drooling at the sight of these Red Flame Rhinoceroses. ¡°Don¡¯t cause any trouble.¡± Lin Mo pulled her away. He asked around and went to the auction house. This was the largest auction house in Fire City, and it was the property of the mayor, so no one dared to cause trouble here. ¡°The two of you look rather young. Are you here to fight for a spot to enter the ancient battlefield of the Dragon Pavilion?¡± The person who received Lin Mo and Qilin was a shrewd-looking middle-aged woman. She looked at the two ordinary-looking people in front of her and asked tentatively. ¡°Fight for a spot?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. What did that mean? He humbly asked for advice, and only then did he learn that the entire Northern Continent was in a state of excitement. Countless forces wanted their younger generation to enter, for no other reason than the countless opportunities inside. It was a pity that there were only a limited number of people who could enter the ancient battlefield. There were only 3,000 people who could be immune¡­ In order to obtain a spot, all the cities in the Northern Continent that were kept watch by a quasi-Saint could have a spot. Every city had a different way of obtaining a spot. Some tested one¡¯s talent but most tested one¡¯s combat ability. Of course, there were also those like Fire City who used an auction to determine the ownership of the spot. ¡°They can actually do it this way¡­¡± Lin Mo finally understood. No wonder he met so many people when he passed through the teleportation passageway. It seemed like they were all heading to Fire City to bid for the spot¡­ ¡°It¡¯s going to be auctioned off at a sky-high price¡­¡± Qilin sighed. How many spirit stones could she get from this? She had stolen a jade seal back then. That was a spot that could be exempted from death, but it was a pity that all the forces had decided to let the younger generation fight for it. If it was a real auction, it might really fetch a sky-high price¡­ ¡°The ancient battlefield? I¡¯m getting more and more curious¡­¡± Lin Mo was very tempted. He took out a dozen earth-grade tier 9 elixirs for the auction house to auction. ¡°By the way, you came out from there. Did you not explore it? ¡± He looked at Qilin and asked. ¡°No. If I didn¡¯t run fast, I would¡¯ve been caught. I wasn¡¯t in the mood to explore.¡± Qilin shook her head. She was awakened and could only run for her life after she woke up. However, she was sure that there were inheritances that were not weaker than the Kun Peng and the Qilin on the ancient battlefield. There were even great opportunities such as celestial tools, immortal medicines, and immortal pills. Qilin could not help but gulp at this time. She would not ask for immortal medicines, only divine medicines to be everywhere. When the time came, she would kill a ferocious beast and pair it with divine medicine and all sorts of precious medicinal herbs. Just thinking about it made her excited. ¡°There are so many opportunities. I can¡¯t miss them indeed.¡± Lin Mo nodded and stopped the voice transmission with Qilin. He then turned his attention to the auction. The auction had just started, and the first item was an earth-grade tier 5 technique. This moved many of the people present, and they all started bidding. Chapter 647 - 647 A Heaven 647 A Heaven-Defying Ability ¡°The next item is a broken stone with half a piece of a Cathode Stone embedded in it. It is of earth-grade tier 7.¡± As the auction went on, Lin Mo felt a little bored. Nonetheless, when a small piece of earthy yellow jade was presented, he was clearly stunned. In the middle of the yellow jade, there was a light blue stone. This was the so-called Cathode Stone, which could be used to refine magic tools or set up formations. ¡°This stone seems to be a little special¡­¡± Qilin also raised her head. She stared at the Cathode Stone and frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t abuse your power¡­¡± Lin Mo reminded Qilin. ¡°No, I just suddenly felt that it might not be the Cathode Stone. You felt it too, right?¡± Qilin shook her head and expressed her opinion. ¡°It is indeed different¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a nod. When the Cathode Stone first appeared, he could clearly feel that it contained a special power. The power was even stronger, much stronger than that of the Cathode Stone. ¡°The starting price for the Cathode Stone is two million high-grade spirit stones.¡± On the stage, the auctioneer dropped the hammer and announced the start of the auction. It was very expensive, but if Lin Mo¡¯s feelings were right, this Cathode Stone was worth buying. ¡°Two million one hundred thousand.¡± ¡°Two million three hundred thousand.¡± People started to bid intermittently, and they were all sitting in the hall. After observing for a while, Lin Mo made a move and said, ¡°Two million and five hundred thousand.¡± There were not many people bidding, only four or five, including him. In the end, he won the Cathode Stone at the price of three million. Lin Mo found a staff member and paid the spirit stones for them to deliver the Cathode Stone to him. ¡°How is it? What kind of treasure is it?¡± Seeing that Lin Mo had obtained the Cathode Stone, Qilin asked. ¡°Let me check.¡± Lin Mo stored the Cathode Stone in the system space and waited patiently. Not long after, the system¡¯s introduction came. [?Extreme Cold Ice Jade?, evolved from the Cathode Stone. It contains the purest ice element and is of heaven-grade tier 1.] ¡°I found a treasure¡­¡± After listening to the system¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. This was not the Cathode Stone, but the evolved version of it, the Extreme Cold Ice Jade. He told this news to Qilin, and the latter was overjoyed. ¡°This can be exchanged for divine medicine, right?¡± Qilin transmitted her voice. This extreme Frost Ice jade was not of much use to both her and Lin Mo. Thus, they could only sell it. If they could get divine medicine in return, then they would make a big profit this time. ¡°The Extreme Cold Ice Jade is only a divine material. It¡¯s impossible to exchange it for divine medicine. However, it can be sold for quite a lot of spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed. How could it be so easy to exchange for divine medicine? As the grade of the various treasures increased, medicinal herbs, spirit pills, and the like would become more popular. On the other hand, the value of these precious materials began to decline. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is an earth-grade tier 9 elixir. It¡¯s a rare elixir. With proper cultivation, it can grow into a divine medicine.¡± The auctioneer¡¯s voice gradually became excited. Looking at the auction list, his body trembled. Although this was Fire City, it was the first time he had seen so many precious elixirs at once. ¡°Let me remind everyone that there are a total of nine of these precious elixirs¡­¡± As soon as he said that, the crowd went into an uproar. Some people even stood up and stared at the auctioneer. ¡°The first one is an earth-grade tier 9 Fire Phoenix Tree. Its leaves can help people comprehend the rules of the fire Dao.¡± A small tree that was half the height of a person was carried up. Qilin and Lin Mo looked over at the same time, waiting for the result. Especially Lin Mo, who was the one who had provided all nine earth-grade tier 9 elixirs. If it was anywhere else, he would definitely be able to obtain nine divine medicines, and some of them might even be of a higher grade. Now, everyone was too enthusiastic. Lin Mo felt that they could be sold for a good price, but there was no way to get good treasures in return¡­ ¡°Oh right, Qilin, you can affect my luck, right?¡± Lin Mo asked via voice transmission. ¡°Yeah, but you can¡¯t abuse it.¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo and nodded. In reality, as long as she was by Lin Mo¡¯s side and did not have any ill intentions, Lin Mo¡¯s luck would continue to be good. It was not that his wishes would come true, but he would have nothing to worry about. This was also the reason Lin Mo dared to auction off nine precious elixirs in one go. With Qilin around, he did not have to worry about being targeted by others. ¡°Let¡¯s use it once. I asked the people at the auction house for divine medicines. I hope they have them in stock.¡± Lin Mo found an excuse. Nine precious elixirs were being auctioned, so it was worth Qilin using her ability on him. ¡°Alright, help me guard the area, and don¡¯t let anyone disturb me.¡± Qilin trusted Lin Mo unconditionally and was not suspicious. She sat cross-legged on the chair. To outsiders, it looked like she was cultivating. There was no difference. Lin Mo was the only one who could feel that his aura had become similar to that of Qilin. It was as if he had also become the auspicious White Qilin at this moment. It was as if a large hand had moved and changed his fate. ¡°What a mysterious power. What realm do I need to be in to be able to dabble in this? ¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He had a premonition that he was about to receive a great opportunity¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Fire Phoenix Tree.] [Due to your great luck, this auction triggered a 100,000-time auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 8 Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree.] A big silver tree appeared in the system space. The branches were thick and luxuriant, and there were even seven fruits on them, like small silver phoenixes. ¡°This is heaven-defying¡­¡± Lin Mo was flabbergasted. This was too abnormal. The 100,000-time auction rebate gave him a Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree. Moreover, the fruits had ripened. If this news were to be leaked out, the entire Fire City would probably be covered in blood and corpses. Even the mayor in the quasi-Saint realm would come to fight for it, and so would the powerhouses from the neighboring cities¡­ Eating a Silver Phoenix Fruit could not only cleanse one¡¯s marrow and remold one¡¯s bones, but it could also cleanse one¡¯s soul, remove all inner demons, and help one comprehend Dao. It could be said that having a Silver Phoenix Fruit was equivalent to being able to break through a major realm without any obstacles. Even if one were to break through to the quasi-Saint realm, one¡¯s success rate would be increased by 30%. Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief after carefully observing the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree and reading the system¡¯s introduction. He had made a huge profit this time. There were seven fruits, and any one of them could be sold for a sky-high price¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Glass Fruit.] [Successfully triggered a 40,000-time auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 5 Holy Spirit Fruit.] Lin Mo had just finished looking at the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree when he got another divine fruit. Just by looking at the appearance, he could conclude that it was not weaker than the Silver Phoenix Fruit. ¡°It¡¯s. pity that it¡¯s not the Holy Spirit Fruit Tree¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed as he listened to the system¡¯s introduction of the Holy Spirit Fruit. [Holy Spirit Fruit, heaven-grade tier 5. It can help people break through the Ruler realm and become a Saint. The success rate will be increased by 50%.] In a way, one would reach the quasi-Saint realm. After all, to be able to cultivate to this stage and have enough blood Qi and talent to attempt a breakthrough, along with the probability that was increased by 50%, one¡¯s breakthrough would be stable. ¡°This is equivalent to a ticket to enter the quasi-Saint realm¡­¡± Chapter 648 - 648 Whereabouts Exposed 648 Whereabouts Exposed ¡°Little girl, are you alright?¡± Lin Mo was still immersed in his joy when he suddenly felt the girl beside him collapse. She seemed to be exhausted as she leaned against Lin Mo¡¯s shoulder. Looking at her pale face and lips, Lin Mo quickly carried her up, his heart aching. ¡°Don¡¯t scare me. Why does this consume so much of your energy¡­?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was beating wildly. Little Qilin had absolute trust in him. If anything happened to her because of his greed¡­ He would never be at ease in his life¡­ ¡°It¡¯s working. You¡¯ll definitely get a supreme treasure¡­¡± Qilin said weakly. Her voice was weak, and her body was trembling. ¡°Open your mouth and eat this.¡± Lin Mo reached out with a trembling hand and plucked a Silver Phoenix Fruit from the system space. He fed it to Qilin. ¡°It smells so good¡­¡± Qilin sniffed the fruit with her small nose and felt a little more invigorated. She opened her mouth and ate the Silver Phoenix Fruit. In an instant, her entire body shone brightly with divine light. Her original weakness was no longer there, and she was full of life. ¡°Divine fruit¡ªshe ate a divine fruit¡­¡± Some people were shocked by this sudden change. Countless greedy people looked at Lin Mo and Qilin, and some of them frowned. They were very powerful. When Lin Mo took out the Silver Phoenix Fruit, they felt its medicinal power. Nonetheless, before they could spy on it, the little girl ate it. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m sorry. My younger sister rushed her cultivation and almost went berserk. I¡¯ve disturbed everyone.¡± Lin Mo stood up and cupped his hands to the people around him. He had a smile on his face, and the rest of the people smiled back, but there was a bit of coldness in their smiles. ¡°A half-step to the peak of the Almighty realm. You can already break through the Almighty realm. It seems like the two of you are planning to enter the ancient battlefield.¡± There were many high-level Rulers present who could tell that Lin Mo and Qilin were hiding their strengths. ¡°Of course, we don¡¯t want to miss out on such a place. We just don¡¯t know if we¡¯ll be lucky¡­¡± Lin Mo replied with a smile, but his heart had sunk to the bottom. He was too worried about Qilin and exposed the divine medicine. He knew that these guys would definitely target him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± A weak voice was heard. Qilin was sitting on a chair with an apologetic look. She also knew that she had exposed the divine fruit. Although her identity had not been exposed, her strength had been seen through. In Demon State, where people were ruthless and cruel, holding a treasure that was not on the same level as one¡¯s strength was no different from being sentenced to death. ¡°You can blame me for being greedy. Perhaps this is the settling of accounts you were talking about¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. At the same time, he remembered that Qilin had said that if the ability was used too many times, they would have to pay the price. Perhaps this was the price they had to pay for using it. ¡°It¡¯s fine if we¡¯re exposed. You don¡¯t have any side effects, do you?¡± Lin Mo asked with concern. ¡°Give me one more divine fruit, and I¡¯ll be completely recovered.¡± Qilin licked her lips, her face filled with desire. She just felt that her body had been cleansed, and she felt very comfortable at the moment. ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you after the auction.¡± Seeing that Qilin was fine, Lin Mo was finally at ease. It was good that there were no aftereffects, or he would die of guilt¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 Golden Spirit Peach Tree.] [Successfully triggered a 70,000-time auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 6 divine fruit, the Holy Light Peach Tree.] The system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind again, triggering a 70,000-fold auction rebate. He obtained another divine tree. ¡°My luck is still here?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked at Qilin, only to find that she was completely fine. She then looked around curiously. [The fruit of the Holy Light Peace Tree can revive the dead and grow flesh from bones. Even if a quasi-Saint is seriously injured and dying, just one fruit will be enough to revive him.] [Each person can only eat the Holy Light Peach once in their life. The second time will be ineffective, and the medicinal properties won¡¯t be absorbed.] Looking at the system¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo was very excited. This was a divine fruit that could revive a quasi-Saint. ¡°Little girl, how long will your ability to change my fate last?¡± Lin Mo asked via voice transmission. At the same time, he wanted to know if Qilin would be exhausted during this time. ¡°About two hours. So, if we escape during this time, we¡¯ll likely succeed.] Qilin said, telling Lin Mo not to participate in the subsequent auctions. Once all their elixirs were sold, they could just take the spirit stones and run away. Maybe they would have a chance to escape. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine if I eat one more of the divine fruits you just gave me.¡± Qilin patted her chest and promised. In fact, that was exactly what Lin Mo was thinking. He did not even want the spirit stones at the auction anymore. Running away now might give them a higher chance of success. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Marrow-cleansing Demon Flower.] [Successfully triggered a 30,000-time auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 4 Earth Spirit Holy flower.] Lin Mo¡¯s luck was as good as ever. He managed to auction off another elixir, and the rebate he received was heaven-defying. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning¡­] Perhaps it was because he had used up most of his good luck in the first three times, the rebates he received after were only 10,000 to 20,000 times. They were still high, but they were much weaker than before. ¡°This is simply a huge profit¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled in satisfaction. The nine elixirs had been successfully auctioned off. He received two heaven-defying divine trees and a divine fruit that could help one break through to the quasi-Saint realm. In addition, there were four heaven-grade tier 4 divine herbs and two heaven-grade tier 5 ones, all of which had very powerful medicinal properties. ¡°Let¡¯s go. The auction house will definitely sell you divine medicines.¡± Qilin urged. She also knew that someone would attack them, so she did not want to stay here for long. The people at the auction were very enthusiastic as they welcomed Lin Mo and Qilin. The spirit stones for the auction arrived very quickly, and Lin Mo¡¯s requests were granted. This was also due to good luck¡­ ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you further. Goodbye.¡± Lin Mo stood up and prepared to leave. At the same time, he felt a slight headache. This was because many people had locked onto them in the dark and were following them in secret. Those people clearly wanted to make a move. ¡°A bunch of rats¡­ Get out of my way.¡± Suddenly, a loud roar was heard, and a terrifying pressure was released. Everyone except Lin Mo and Qilin knelt down. In the face of absolute power, any resistance seemed so weak and powerless. ¡°A quasi-Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was in his throat, and his expression was ugly. Was the quasi-Saint about to make a move? How could he and Qilin escape when they were faced with such terrifying strength? ¡°Mayor, please spare us¡­¡± Screams were heard as the people on their knees kowtowed one after another. They were all scared out of their wits. ¡°Little friend, please come with me.¡± After shouting at everyone to leave, a middle-aged brawny man appeared. He walked up to Lin Mo and smiled. However, his fierce expression, coupled with his smile, was indeed a little creepy. ¡°Mayor, we don¡¯t have any more treasures on us. Please show us mercy¡­¡± Lin Mo said with difficulty. A wisp of cold sweat trickled down his forehead as he did some mental calculations. Even if they used all their means, he and Qilin would not be able to face a single move from the other party. The absolute difference in their strengths made him feel despair¡­ ¡°You gave her a Silver Phoenix Fruit, and it was just picked. You have the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree,¡± the middle-aged man said slowly. His words made Lin Mo¡¯s heart sink to the bottom¡­ Chapter 649 - 649 Escape From Danger 649 Escape From Danger The middle-aged man slowly approached. Qilin and Lin Mo¡¯s faces turned pale. This was serious. They were not strong enough. Fate and destiny could not be messed with¡­ ¡°If I give you the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, will you let us leave?¡± Lin Mo said in a deep voice. He could not be stingy with his treasure at this time. If the other party discovered it, he had to quickly take it out¡­ ¡°You don¡¯t seem to want to negotiate.¡± The middle-aged man grinned hideously and walked closer. Qilin and Lin Mo were alert at the same time. They took out the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron respectively. Even a pre-Saint would drool over heaven-grade magic weapons of such level. Unless one was a disciple of a major force, it was rare to have a heaven-grade magic tool. ¡°Heaven-grade magic tools of tier 6 and tier 4, respectively. Where are you two from?¡± Seeing the two of them with their weapons, the mayor hesitated even though he was a quasi-Saint. They had the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, and each of them had a heaven-grade magic tool. Could they be disciples of some great force? ¡°Don¡¯t think about lying. As a quasi-Saint, I can sense your soul fluctuations. There¡¯s no point in lying.¡± The mayor said coldly. If Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s backgrounds were too strong, he would not be able to act rashly. ¡°So powerful?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He looked at Qilin, and the little girl nodded. She had seen the means of a quasi-Saint. After all, when she escaped from the Dragon Pavilion, countless quasi-Saints and above attacked her. In fact, some of the more profound cultivators could even read the minds of weaker cultivators. ¡°I¡¯m from the Bai clan of the Myriad Souls Mound in the Southern Continent. I wonder if you¡¯ve heard of us.¡± Lin Mo answered, prepared for the worst. This was the Northern Continent. No matter how powerful the Southern Continent forces were, they would not be able to threaten the people here. Moreover, once the mayor knew of his and Qilin¡¯s identity, they would be in trouble. Even the Bai clan would take a risk in the Northern Continent. After all, Lin Mo and Qilin were related to the two great inheritances of the Qilin and the Kun Peng¡­ ¡°You¡¯re from the Southern Continent¡­¡± The mayor was stunned. He released a powerful soul fluctuation and locked onto Lin Mo. After confirming the force that Lin Mo belonged to, he frowned. ¡°I¡¯ve never even heard of the Southern Continent. What kind of place is that? ¡± The mayor asked. The world was huge and boundless. Beyond the five continents, there was also an endless starry sky. The mayor lived in the Northern Continent and knew that there was a Southern Continent. Even so, he had no idea about the geography of the Southern Continent and the layout of its forces. ¡°Also, which force is she from?¡± As he spoke, he looked at Qilin. Lin Mo¡¯s background might be terrifying, but he was not sure. However, Qilin did not say anything. A heaven-grade tier 4 magic tool was worth fighting for. ¡°She¡¯s my younger sister whom I acknowledged during my training. She¡¯s also considered a member of the Bai clan.¡± Lin Mo said, trying his best to act natural. He knew that the other party was apprehensive. His deterrence had some effect, but it should not be much. ¡°We admit that our whereabouts have been exposed. We can give you these two heaven-grade magic tools if you let us leave through the teleportation formation.¡± As for the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, Lin Mo did not mention it again. A blind display of cowardice would only make the other party even more arrogant. In the end, Lin Mo and Qilin might even be killed for their treasures. If a quasi-Saint were to make a move, they would have no chance of survival¡­ ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re quite decisive.¡± The mayor smiled and looked at Lin Mo. There was greed but also fear in his eyes. ¡°I won¡¯t take them for free. I have a recommendation here that will allow you to enter the ancient battlefield. ¡°It was originally meant to be the finale of the auction. Now, I can give it to you.¡± He smiled and also withdrew his aura. ¡°You¡¯re willing to let us go?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. Qilin¡¯s ability to change one¡¯s luck was still in effect. This was almost like a narrow escape from death¡­ ¡°Of course, but my auction house still needs to run. Now that I¡¯m giving the finale to you, shouldn¡¯t the two of you show some appreciation?¡± The mayor finally revealed his purpose. ¡°Here you go.¡± Lin Mo and Qilin immediately handed over the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron. It was a great fortune that they were able to escape. Losing two heaven-grade magic tools was nothing. ¡°You¡¯re not bad¡ªyou know how to give and take and are decisive. I¡¯ll send you to the teleportation formation¡­¡± Seeing the two of them being so forthright, the mayor did not make things difficult for them. With a wave of his hand, he brought Lin Mo and Qilin to the western part of Fire City. There was a huge black hole here, and inside it was the endless void. ¡°There¡¯s a large flow of people in Fire City, and the teleportation formation is always in operation. You don¡¯t have to pay any spirit stones, so you can go now.¡± With that, the mayor raised his hand, and the Green Cloud Sword and the White Jade Cauldron flew into his hands. At the same time, a golden invitation card flew into Lin Mo¡¯s hands. On it were two words formed by runes. ¡°Dragon Invitation!¡± This was the ticket to enter the ancient battlefield. Lin Mo had heard of it before. However, this mayor obviously did not know that Lin Mo and Qilin were already on the Hidden Dragon Rank. They did not need a Dragon Invitation. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo pulled Qilin up and left immediately, unwilling to stay any longer. The mayor did not stop them and just watched the two of them enter the teleportation formation. Behind, spatial power appeared as two figures wrapped in loose black robes silently appeared. ¡°Sir, what about the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree?¡± ¡°Do you know what¡¯s the most important thing in Demon State?¡± The mayor sneered. ¡°We have no idea.¡± The two of them shook their heads at the same time. ¡°It is to be sensible. One has to know what one can or cannot take. The Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree is a tier 8 or even tier 9 heaven-grade divine tree. ¡°Even the top forces are willing to start a war for it. If we take it, Fire City will be razed to the ground in less than a month¡­¡± After saying that, the mayor did not stay any longer. After a wave of spatial fluctuations, the three of them disappeared at the same time. ¡°We were threatened, but we¡¯re no longer in danger¡­¡± At this moment, in the spatial passageway, Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief after making sure that no one was chasing them. ¡°This is a heavy loss. We didn¡¯t gain anything and lost two heaven-grade magic tools¡­¡± Qilin looked bitter. She was not aware of Lin Mo¡¯s gain and was blaming herself. If she had not changed Lin Mo¡¯s fate, she would not have suffered a backlash, and the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree would not have been exposed¡­ ¡°Take this and stop complaining. Although it was a little dangerous, we made a huge profit this time.¡± Lin Mo plucked another Silver Phoenix Fruit and fed it to Qilin so she could recover her previous consumption. ¡°By the way, didn¡¯t you say you ran out of divine herbs and fruits? What¡¯s this?¡± Qilin took the Silver Phoenix Fruit and asked curiously. At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with Lin Mo. He had kept so many things from her. ¡°Where did you get that treasure from? Also, what¡¯s with the Bai clan? ¡± Qilin took a hard bite of the Silver Phoenix Fruit, chewing the flesh and swallowing the juice. She looked a little fierce. ¡°I¡¯ll give you another Silver Phoenix Fruit. Can you keep a secret?¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. He did not know how to explain the auction rebate system. Even if he told Qilin, she would not believe him. Instead, the little girl would think that he was lying to her with such a careless lie¡­ Chapter 650 - 650 Demon King City 650 Demon King City ¡°Another one¡­¡± Qilin was stunned and took another Silver Phoenix Fruit from Lin Mo. This was unbelievable. Even the top forces that ruled a state might not have such a heaven-defying divine fruit. ¡°No, you can¡¯t hide everything from me. You have to tell me something.¡± Although Qilin received another Silver Phoenix Fruit, she still minded it a lot. She had told Lin Mo everything, but he kept secrets from her¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you my story. After all, there¡¯s still a long way to go.¡± Lin Mo could not help but laugh at the stubborn little girl. He reached out and ruffled her hair, making it a mess. ¡­ The spatial passageway in Fire City was very stable, and the two of them advanced quickly. After spending a day, they finally left the spatial passageway and arrived at a super major city. This city was known as one of the eight great Demon King Cities of Demon State. There was a Demon King in charge of it, and it was said that he was one of the most powerful powerhouses in Demon State. Inside, there was a teleportation formation that led directly to Dragon State, which was also one of Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s goals for this trip. ¡°Wow, your experience is so amazing. It¡¯s unexpected¡­¡± Walking out of the teleportation formation, Qilin was still lamenting. On this day, Lin Mo summarized his story slightly and told her about it. She was entranced by the story and finally understood why Lin Mo had joined the Bai clan. The Eastern Continent was poor, and no one could reach the Immortal Foundation realm, let alone Lin Mo, who had the God Devouring Body. ¡°Then do you think I should join the Bai clan?¡± Qilin was a little hesitant. She trusted Lin Mo, so she naturally trusted his wife and friends. Even so, the Bai clan was such a huge clan. No one would believe that no one was after her blood. If the Bai clan¡¯s supreme powerhouses coveted Qilin¡¯s inheritance, then she would be courting her own death. ¡°Don¡¯t go now. When you¡¯re strong enough, you can come and show your presence.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He had sworn to join the Bai clan, so he welcomed Qilin¡¯s presence. Despite that, now that Qilin was weak, it would be dangerous for her to go. It would be better for her to join in the future. ¡°I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Qilin nodded. She did not doubt Lin Mo¡¯s words at all. ¡°If you want to buy medicinal herbs, turn left in front. There¡¯s a medicine pavilion that even sells divine medicines.¡± After asking a passerby, Lin Mo brought Qilin to the medicine pavilion. ¡°Wow, this is a raw spirit fruit of earth-grade tier 8. It smells so good!¡± As soon as Qilin entered, she was captivated and drooled. Every elixir here was full and of high quality. There were even demonic beast carcasses for sale. ¡°This is a Golden Elephant. Aren¡¯t you afraid of the Golden Elephant Clan finding trouble with you for selling this?¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. The Golden Elephants were a tribe. If they saw this, they would definitely not allow the carcasses of their kind to be sold. ¡°Sir, there¡¯s no need to worry. It¡¯s just the Golden Elephants. The medicine pavilion can still afford to offend them.¡± Someone was there to introduce the goods to Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°Then I¡¯ll buy one. Golden Elephant soup will definitely taste good.¡± Qilin impatiently chose a huge Golden Elephant. A jade bracelet on her wrist glowed and took it in. The attendant noted it down and started promoting other items for Lin Mo. ¡°Buy a few raw spirit fruits. We must have dessert after our meal¡­¡± ¡°There are also the Fragrant Flowers and the Absolute Cloud Herbs. They can be used as seasoning¡­¡± Qilin happily selected the goods. Such a luxurious purchase also attracted many people¡¯s attention. ¡°Excuse me, I need all kinds of rare elixirs from your shop. They must be at earth-grade tier 9 or half a step to heaven-grade.¡± With so many people watching, Lin Mo was helpless and could only let Qilin do as she pleased. He sent a voice transmission to the attendant and asked him to prepare the elixirs for him. ¡°Alright. Please wait a moment, Sir.¡± The attendant bowed respectfully and quickly went backstage to report his request. On the other side, after Qilin picked out a large pile of elixirs, she took them away. ¡°Am I spending too much money¡­?¡± She looked at Lin Mo in embarrassment. A conservative estimate would be that she had spent hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones. She had bought many elixirs in bulk. ¡°At least you¡¯re aware¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. He still had some spirit stones in reserve, but he could not afford to use them like this. In addition to the precious elixirs he wanted to buy, this trip would probably empty his collection. In the end, the medicine pavilion¡¯s manager personally came out to attend to Lin Mo and Qilin. They were served fine spirit tea and treated as distinguished guests. ¡°Sir, according to the records, the elixirs that this lady took are worth 13,000 supreme-grade spirit stones. ¡°In addition to the precious elixirs you asked for, the total value is 27,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.¡± The manager was very excited. This time, a big customer had come and bought so many treasures. Not to mention other things, he would gain a huge commission for completing this transaction. ¡°Do they use supreme-grade spirit stones here¡­?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. However, this was normal. As one of the eight great Demon King Cities, the medicine pavilion must have a bunch of quasi-Saints to be able to stand tall¡­ Powerhouses of that level must use supreme-grade spirit stones to cultivate. ¡°I still need to keep my spirit stones for cultivation. Do you take cultivation techniques?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had a few powerful cultivation techniques and martial arts. He no longer lacked martial arts, and cultivation techniques were useless to him. Lin Mo would sell them sooner or later, so he might as well sell it now and get the medicine pavilion to give him some supreme-grade spirit stones. ¡°Generally speaking, I won¡¯t accept them. However, if your cultivation techniques are good enough, I can accept them.¡± The manager smiled. A good cultivation technique that was well-publicized could be auctioned off at a high price. ¡°This is a heaven-grade tier 2 cultivation technique, the Great Dao Soul-returning Technique. Take a look at its effects and name a price.¡± Lin Mo recalled and told the manager about the cultivation technique that he had obtained from the auction of the Tai Yu Spirit Nurturing Art. That cultivation technique had been in the system space for a long time, but he had never paid attention to it. If he were to sell it now, he did not know how many spirit stones he could get¡­ ¡°Sir, are you really going to sell this cultivation method to our medicine pavilion?¡± The attendant took a look at it. The next moment, he stood up in excitement. A heaven-grade tier 2 technique was shocking enough, but he did not expect it to be so powerful. In his opinion, even a heaven-grade tier 3 cultivation technique might not be as good as the Great Dao Soul-returning Technique¡­ ¡°I got it by chance. Name a price, and I¡¯ll sell it to you if it¡¯s reasonable.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand nonchalantly. At the same time, he instructed the manager to keep the people here in check. ¡°Understood. I know the rules.¡± The manager nodded. He knew that Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s backgrounds were not simple. Not long after, the door of the guest room was pushed open, and a maidservant walked in. She said a few words in the attendant¡¯s ear and then left. ¡°Sir, the elder of the medicine pavilion said that he¡¯s willing to pay 50,000 supreme-grade spirit stones for the Great Dao Soul-returning Technique. What do you think? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s not bad. Deal.¡± Lin Mo was not picky about the price and retrieved the cultivation technique from the system space. The manager was quite sensible. He gave Lin Mo and Qilin two Disguise Pills and asked the maidservant to send them out of the medicine pavilion. Chapter 651 - 651 Heading to Dragon State 651 Heading to Dragon State ¡°Quickly find an inn and have a good meal tonight.¡± After leaving the medicine pavilion and changing their appearances at a hidden corner, Qilin could not wait any longer. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s go to the auction house first. I have some treasures for auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled. At this moment, he had 23,000 supreme-grade spirit stones in addition to the medium-grade spirit stones. Supreme-grade spirit stones were used by powerhouses above the quasi-Saint realm. Lin Mo was curious. Demon King City was a big city with complicated forces. There were also many auction houses that dominated the market. Lin Mo brought Qilin around the auction houses in the area, spending a whole day. They only visited a tenth of what Demon King City had¡­ ¡°I¡¯m so tired, and I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± After walking out of the last auction house, Qilin complained again, her face full of dissatisfaction. ¡°What a huge gain. We bought two divine medicines¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had bought 17 earth-grade tier 9 elixirs from the medicine pavilion, half of which were extremely rare. If he auctioned them, they might be able to be sold for 20 million or even 30 million high-grade spirit stones. The rest could be sold for more than 10 million, and if his luck was not too bad, he could get at least ten divine medicines. ¡°I feel like you¡¯re a profiteer, buying things at a low price and selling them at a high price in every city we go¡­¡± Qilin said. Nonetheless, when she thought about how she would not have been able to eat so many elixirs along the way if Lin Mo had not done so, she lowered her voice. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Blood Herb.] [Successfully triggered a 5,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicine, the Emperor Blood Herb.] The moment Lin Mo entered the inn, he heard the system notification. ¡°Has the auction started in that auction house¡­?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He did not participate in the auction and agreed to stay with Qilin. The little girl had accompanied him to auctions in Demon King City for the whole day. If they were to go on, she would probably fly into a rage¡­ ¡°Here, this is an Emperor Blood Herb. It can replenish one¡¯s Qi and blood. You can have it.¡± Lin Mo took out the divine medicine he had just obtained, and the unhappy Qilin immediately smiled. ¡°This is great. I can cook everything in one pot.¡± After setting up a boundary in the inn, Qilin moved quickly and took out a pile of elixirs and the Golden Elephant carcass. Looking at the elixirs all over the ground, Lin Mo held his forehead. How long would it take to eat them all¡­? ¡°Hehe, this Golden Elephant has been dealt with. There¡¯s no need to clean it.¡± Qilin chuckled as she cut it into small pieces with Lin Mo and placed them into the bronze cauldron. Some earth-grade elixirs were also added, and medicinal fragrance immediately filled the air. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 spirit herb, the Starlight herb. [The seller has been targeted because of the auction of the treasure. A hidden mission has been triggered. Please go and rescue him. If you successfully rescue him, the auction will trigger a rebate of 50,000 times.] Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice was heard again, causing Lin Mo to be shocked. This was Demon King City that was guarded by a Demon King. Who would dare to cause trouble here? ¡°Even if someone dares to, I don¡¯t dare to make a move¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. There were probably a bunch of quasi-Saints in Demon King City. Any one of them could kill him. It was easier said than done to rescue the seller. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s going to be ready in a few minutes. What are you still unhappy about?¡± Qilin asked. She could tell that Lin Mo¡¯s expression was off. ¡°If we make a move in Demon King City, we¡¯ll get divine medicine in the end, and it won¡¯t be of a low grade. Do you dare to take the risk?¡± Lin Mo suddenly asked. ¡°What are you thinking? Only a fool would take the risk¡­¡± Qilin rolled her eyes and told Lin Mo to stop causing trouble. ¡°I have a way that can allow us to avoid all investigations and enter the ancient battlefield smoothly. ¡°But if I use it, I¡¯ll need at least three Silver Phoenix Fruits to help me recover. You can calculate the gains and losses yourself.¡± Qilin scooped a bowl of soup for herself and took a sip. She also filled a bowl for Lin Mo, saying that she would not mind and that she would let Lin Mo think about it. ¡°Forget it, this must be a huge burden on you.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. No matter how generous the reward was, it could not compare to the safety of Qilin. If one¡¯s origin was consumed too many times, it would leave behind a scar on one¡¯s great Dao. It would not be worth it for Qilin to take such a big risk for a divine medicine unless it was an immortal medicine that could perfectly heal her injury¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t think too much and just enjoy the good food.¡± Lin Mo picked up a piece of dried meat and ate it with Qilin. ¡°Life should be like this¡­¡± He enjoyed it very much, but at the same time, he felt a little regretful. He was having a pot of delicious food, but his former companion was not by his side. Fortunately, there was Qilin by his side. With her around, there would be a lot of interesting things to do along the way¡­ After eating and drinking to her heart¡¯s content, Qilin fell into a deep sleep. The medicinal power in her body surged and nourished her body. Lin Mo came to the top of the inn and lay on the roof, staring at the night sky. The mission given by the system had failed, and he did not receive the reward. A huge battle had broken out outside the auction house. The buyer had been killed, and the so-called reward was gone. Fortunately, Lin Mo had obtained 13 divine medicines from the auction although they were all of heaven-grade tier 1. It was still a huge amount of wealth. It was enough for him and Qilin to break through in the ancient battlefield. ¡°At least I received the spirit stones¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He had just returned from the auction house and received his spirit stones. At the same time, he was also very glad that he did not make a move because the one who killed the buyer was the person who was in charge of the Demon King City here. It was said that the killer was the descendant of the Demon King and had some connections with the Demon King. He was domineering in the city, and ordinary cultivators did not dare to say anything¡­ However, he met a ruthless person today and was killed. Now, the people at the auction were all being strictly investigated. ¡°Perhaps this is the luck that Qilin brought¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. After obtaining the spirit stones, he had nothing to do with this matter. The next day! The bright sun shone on the streets, and the pedestrians were still there as if last night¡¯s event had not happened. Lin Mo and Qilin found the teleportation formation to Dragon State. They boarded a warship that was thousands of meters long and slowly entered the spatial passageway. ¡°The destination is Dragon State. It¡¯ll take half a month.¡± Someone on the battleship reminded everyone. There were more than a thousand people on board, and 90% of them were of the younger generation, and their cultivation was at the peak of the half-step Almighty realm. They were all heading to Dragon State to enter the ancient battlefield. ¡°How big is the ancient battlefield? ¡± Lin Mo asked curiously. The Dragon Pavilion did not seem to have a limit on the number of people who could enter. Even if they were not juniors, they could still enter and fight for opportunities by severing their cultivation base. The only thing was that they could not fight for the 3,000 immunity spots¡­ ¡°When it wasn¡¯t damaged, it was boundless. Now, I don¡¯t know.¡± Qilin shook her head. In any case, the battlefield was enough to accommodate a group of juniors fighting inside. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble you again when the time comes¡­¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. The people from the Dragon Pavilion also wanted to capture Qilin because she was related to the supreme inheritance of the Qilin Clan. Now that everyone knew that Qilin was by his side, the Dragon Pavilion would not be friendly to him. ¡°Just remember to give me Silver Phoenix Fruits.¡± Qilin nodded nonchalantly. Compared to the opportunity to enter the ancient battlefield, three Silver Phoenix Fruits seemed a little insignificant¡­ Chapter 652 - 652 Participating in the Contest 652 Participating in the Contest The topic of the Northern Continent also shifted from the Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance to the ancient battlefield. Lin Mo and Qilin embarked on their journey and arrived at the vast Dragon State on a warship. It took 15 days, and they had to travel at full speed to the Dragon Pavilion after arriving at Dragon State. Although the land of Dragon State was vast, there were countless creatures of different races. The population base was huge, and each force had nearly ten thousand juniors. There were close to a hundred outstanding ones. The total number of juniors in the 3,000 states of the Northern Continent would be terrifying. If all of them were to come, they would probably occupy the entire Dragon State¡­ However, not all of those juniors would come. Most of them had been eliminated from their respective forces. Other than a few extremely powerful top forces that could send people into the ancient battlefield directly, the rest of them had to go through a series of screenings. Even if they obtained a spot from a quasi-Saint, they would still have to go through a selection process before entering the ancient battlefield. It could not be helped. The opportunities on the ancient battlefield were too great. Even some of the older generation severed their cultivation bases in an attempt to enter. ¡°This is too crazy. So many people had to die for a spot¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. It happened once every 3,000 years, and every time the battlefield opened, blood would flow like a river. Countless young talents would die because of this and become the stepping stones for others. In the distance, an old woman walked over with a smile and said, ¡°You¡¯re so scared, young man. As the future of the Northern Continent, you should be brave. How can you be so timid in the face of battle? ¡± ¡°You overstated it, senior. We¡¯re only rogue cultivators, so we don¡¯t deserve to be a part of the future.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He was slightly shocked by the old lady¡¯s strength. ¡°There¡¯s no hiding. You guys can leave. Without the Dragon Invitation, you¡¯ll have to win in the arena.¡± The old lady considerately pointed out a path for Lin Mo and Qilin to take part in the duel at the mayor¡¯s mansion. After thanking her, Lin Mo and Qilin left. Along the way, they were stopped many times, and many powerhouses came up to talk to them. Every time, those people would use their powerful soul power to scan and investigate their backgrounds. ¡°The situation doesn¡¯t seem right¡­¡± Even Qilin felt it too. It was too frequent. What was the purpose of those people? It was only when they arrived at the mayor¡¯s mansion that they finally understood. There was another round of questioning at the entrance, and they were told the reason. The Dragon Pavilion believed that Qilin came from the ancient battlefield and should be left to them to deal with. As for Lin Mo, he had caught the attention of most of the Northern Continent¡¯s forces. Their target was the Kun Peng¡¯s supreme inheritance. ¡°These are your battle passes.¡± The mayor¡¯s mansion had a special person to receive them. This was a small city. It was not very big, and there was only one spot. The so-called battle made Lin Mo shake his head. It was too cruel. Tens of thousands of people would compete in a small world, and only one winner would be qualified to receive the Dragon Invitation. ¡°By the way, what about our jade seals?¡± Lin Mo then recalled that the jade seal was equivalent to an immunity pass and that they could not miss it. Even so, his and Qilin¡¯s identities were too sensitive at the moment. Would the Dragon Pavilion agree to give them the jade seals? ¡°Don¡¯t worry. To activate the ancient battlefield, we need 3,000 young powerhouses with jade seals. We¡¯re strong enough and will definitely be on the list.¡± Qilin was aware of this. After all, she was from the inner regions of the ancient battlefield. The Dragon Pavilion had a great reputation. They had been in control of the ancient battlefield for many years and had never shown any unfairness. Even if they wanted to capture Qilin, they would not tamper with the Hidden Dragon Rank and the jade seals. Otherwise, their reputation would be ruined, and all their years of hard work would go to waste¡­ ¡°Time is precious. You have one day. The jade seal will appear in the center in the last two hours. Whoever can walk out with it will win.¡± The mayor of this city had arrived. He was a powerful quasi-Saint. After the rules were announced, tens of thousands of figures turned into streams of light and were sucked into the small world. If one person was selected within a day, this small world was destined to be filled with blood¡­ Fortunately, this mayor was not too cold and had set up formations in the small world. If people died inside, they would not be completely annihilated. Instead, they would be teleported away, and at most, they would be seriously injured. ¡°It is brutal but not cruel. It¡¯s just that there¡¯s not much time¡­¡± After entering the small world, Lin Mo could feel the rich spiritual Qi. This place was even more suitable for cultivation than the outside. ¡°This place is also a treasure land. I wonder if there¡¯s any divine medicine being nurtured here..¡±. Qilin said. The moment Lin Mo and Qilin landed, they sensed the aura around them. However, this fairyland-like scene was destroyed in the next moment and was replaced by blood. Miserable cries were continuously heard as the ground shook. Vines shot out one after another, each with a barbed tip and emitting a foul stench. ¡°We entered a dangerous place.¡± Lin Mo frowned. With the appearance of these vines, the Yin Qi in the area became more intense, and even the air was filled with poisonous mist. ¡°What¡¯s a plant-type demonic beast?¡± Qilin frowned. The beautiful scenery was gone just like that. ¡°Earthly Demonic Vines are poisonous and like to devour the blood and Qi of living beings. Let¡¯s retreat first.¡± Lin Mo recognized the vines at a glance and knew that they were not to be trifled with. He retreated with Qilin. ¡°Boom!¡± There was also a battle outside the Earthly Demonic Vines, but it was only the participants fighting. Martial arts collided, and fragments of magic tools flew all over the sky. Some people were immediately torn apart, while others were invincible and killed in all directions. ¡°Ah!¡± Someone let out a blood-curdling screech. A genius who was originally very brave was ambushed and killed in the next moment. The battle had only just begun, but the ground was painted red with blood. More and more people gathered. The scale of this battle was comparable to that of a war. The only difference was that this was a chaotic battle. Everyone nearby was an enemy. In order to protect themselves and win, people attacked the people around them. There were no allies here, and there was only one spot. The survival of the fittest was the cruelest rule of survival. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo struck out with his palm and sent a few people who wanted to sneak attacks on him flying. The terrifying force shattered their arms as they barely managed to block the power of Lin Mo¡¯s palm. The surrounding people were shocked by this scene. To be able to push back so many people with just a light palm, how much power was needed? On the other side, the Earthly Demonic Vines had also chased after them. Many people had their chests pierced, and their blood essence was drained. ¡°Don¡¯t linger in the battle and preserve your strength¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Luck played a huge part in this selection. Even he and Qilin could not guarantee that they could eliminate everyone. Especially since there were fearsome creatures like the Earthly Demonic Vines here, they could not let their guard down. ¡°Since the Earthly Demonic Vines chased us out, are there any treasures in their lair?¡± Qilin suddenly asked. Although this small world was dangerous, it should not be a problem for her to protect herself with Lin Mo¡¯s help. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. It was not a bad choice. ¡°You can go and take a look. Just be careful.¡± The two of them turned back. With the World-changing Technique, their auras gradually changed into that of the Earthly Demonic Vines and blended in with the place. Without any obstacles, the two of them followed a cave and arrived at the Earthly Demonic Vines¡¯ nest¡­ Chapter 653 - 653 Reputations Gained From Killing 653 Reputations Gained From Killing ¡°Boom!¡± The space squirmed, and a golden battle spear shot out, aiming for the back of Lin Mo¡¯s head and causing ripples. Lin Mo turned around. The power of extreme Yin and Yang appeared on his body. He raised his hand and caught the spear. With a clang, sparks flew in all directions, and the spear emitted a dazzling light as it tried to break free from Lin Mo¡¯s grip. The ground around the lair was sent flying. The Earthly Demonic Vines outside instantly sensed the huge explosion. ¡°A heaven-grade tier 1 magic tool.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes brightened. This battle spear was not bad. It had its consciousness, and under its owner¡¯s control, it went berserk. At the same time, the explosion also sent the surrounding soil flying, and a golden bead flew up from the ground. As soon as the golden bead appeared, it let out a tiger¡¯s roar and turned into a ferocious golden tiger that charged at Lin Mo. ¡°Pfft!¡± Under the ground, vines appeared one after another. The Earthly Demonic Vines had arrived at an extremely fast speed. ¡°What kind of treasure is this?¡± Qilin made a move and blocked the Earthly Demonic Vines¡¯ attack. At the same time, Lin Mo also suppressed the Golden Tiger. The battle spear in his hand broke free and disappeared into the void. The tiger turned back into a golden pearl and was kept by Lin Mo in the system space. [Golden Light Pearl, a heaven-grade tier 2 treasure. A Golden Battle Tiger¡¯s soul was refined within it. It can be refined into a medicinal powder that can speed up the recovery of one¡¯s soul power.] Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard the system¡¯s introduction. He did not expect to find such a treasure after just entering this place for a while. This could be said to be a divine medicine for recovering one¡¯s soul power. It was extraordinary and would be very precious in the outside world. ¡°Hand it over.¡± A man in white armor walked out of the space. He held a golden spear and had an extraordinary aura. His eyes were filled with killing intent. He had sensed that Lin Mo might be very powerful, but he did not expect that he could not kill the enemy in front of him with a heaven-grade magic tool. Lin Mo did not care about the other party¡¯s identity. Although he could not kill the man, the battle spear would be his. ¡°Swish!¡± The two Dao Laws of Yin and Yang surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body, but the fluctuations were concealed. From an outsider¡¯s perspective, he had activated the Dao Laws, but one would not know what they were. One could not even identify his attributes. A pair of black and white wings appeared. They complemented each other and were as fast as lightning. ¡°Ah¡­¡± The man screamed as he was hit by the Dao Laws on Lin Mo¡¯s body. He was sent flying, his armor shattered, and he spat out blood. Seeing this, Lin Mo was slightly surprised. This person¡¯s strength was not bad. If the man was in Cloud State, he would be ranked around 100 on the Prodigy Roll. Why would such a person come to such a small place to fight for a spot? Logically speaking, he should be able to advance directly¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo continued to pursue and attack, stepping into the void and making a series of loud sounds. The power of the Kun Peng filled his hand as he struck out viciously. Every palm strike could kill an Almighty powerhouse. ¡°Break!¡± The man roared as he charged forward with his spear in hand, ready to face Lin Mo¡¯s attack head-on. ¡°Pfft!¡± The golden battle spear was sent flying. Lin Mo¡¯s body was terrifying and had reached its limit. Even if it was a heaven-grade magic tool, it would still be difficult to break through Lin Mo¡¯s defense. Even if its grade was one or two grades higher, it would still be unable to display its full power in the hands of the man. ¡°How could this be¡­?¡± The man¡¯s face turned pale with fright. He let go of his spear, knowing that he could not block the attack. ¡°Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. I come from Demon State and am one of the disciples of the Mystic Fire Demon King. We can work together.¡± The man declared that he had already obtained a spot and had only come here to train. He had no intention of offending Lin Mo. Lin Mo stared coldly at the man. The Mystic Fire Demon King was one of the eight Demon Kings of Demon State. From the looks of it, the man had come on the same warship as he did. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not interested in joining forces.¡± Lin Mo frowned. Demon State was in chaos, and he did not want to have anything to do with the people there. Moreover, the man had launched a sneak attack and was arrogant and despotic. He only admitted defeat when he realized that he could not beat Lin Mo. Joining hands with such a person was equivalent to asking a tiger for its skin. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s a pity. Please return the golden spear to me, and I¡¯ll leave. I won¡¯t fight with you over the treasures here,¡± the man said in a flat tone. It was as if his willingness to stop the fight was a charity to Lin Mo¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± The wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back flapped, and the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared. His movements were extremely fast, and he instantly activated the Mismatched Yin Yang. The two forces of Yin and Yang exploded, causing the man¡¯s body to explode. The man died on the spot. At the same time, the Mismatched Yin Yang¡¯s power did not decrease at all as it continued to attack the Earthly Demonic Vines. Along with the sound of an explosion, broken vines flew past, and the Earthly Demonic Vines, which had been quick to attack, were killed in one blow. ¡°Buzz!¡± Qilin waved her hand and summoned a dark green pearl the size of a longan from the fragments of the Earthly Demonic Vines. ¡°It¡¯s still a demonic beast in the Almighty realm, after all. Its inner core can also provide some life force¡­¡± Qilin was not picky. Although it definitely would not taste good, she could not waste it. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the central area.¡± After dealing with the Earthly Demonic Vines, Lin Mo and Qilin set off for the central area and waited for the Dragon Invitation to appear. On the way, they also displayed their powerful and terrifying combat powers. Wherever they went, as long as someone attacked them, those people were all killed with one blow. Their courage was divine, and no one could stop them. For a moment, the battles that were taking place in the places they passed by stopped. Everyone was scared and did not dare to approach them. Lin Mo and Qilin were too terrifying. Their combat powers were not something that people with mediocre talents could fight against. When Lin Mo and Qilin arrived at the central area, their fame spread, causing countless people to fear them. They were reputations earned from killing. Many living beings had been killed by them. ¡°I suddenly thought of a problem. Will we be recognized¡­?¡± Qilin asked at this moment. A man and a woman with unparalleled combat powers almost crushed the entire place. Unless the other people joined forces and attacked them together, they would basically not pose a threat to them. Only the top ten geniuses of each state could threaten them. However, those people did not even need to consider getting a spot. They should be thinking about how to get into the Hidden Dragon Rank¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to think about it. Someone has guessed it¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. If they wanted to get the Dragon Invitation, they would have no choice but to expose themselves. That said, they would be randomly teleported when they left the small world, so they would not be recognized as soon as they left. Lin Mo had an auspicious beast by his side, and he also cultivated the World-changing Technique, so it should not be difficult to avoid trouble. ¡°To make sure that everything goes well, how about we snatch some Spatial Teleportation Talisman¡­?¡± Qilin suggested. It was very precious, and they did not have any on them. If they wanted to escape the detection of a quasi-Saint, they had to be heavenly. ¡°Be more civilized. There¡¯s no need to snatch one. Let¡¯s do what we¡¯re good at¡ªa live auction¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled and cleared a large area of empty space. He set up a stone tablet and wrote the word ¡®auction¡¯ on it. At the same time, he also took out many treasures, including the Golden Light Pearl that he had just obtained. There was also the golden spear that he had snatched. The two heaven-grade supreme treasures immediately attracted many people. Chapter 654 - 654 Resumes His Old Business 654 Resumes His Old Business ¡°An auction¡­¡± Some people gathered their courage and moved closer. When they saw the word on the stone tablet, their eyes widened. ¡°That¡¯s right, an auction. Is there anyone who wants to participate? You¡¯re welcome to put your things up for auction too.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. Anyone who came was a guest, and as long as they did not fight, he would welcome them with a smile. ¡°Of course, time is precious, so we only accept treasures of earth-grade tier 9 and above.¡± Lin Mo set up a threshold. Due to Lin Mo¡¯s strange behavior, the people in the central area that should have been fighting stopped fighting. ¡°May I ask if you¡¯re the God Devouring Body and the Qilin girl?¡± Finally, as more and more people gathered, some of them could not stand it anymore. They secretly transmitted their voices and spread them out with spiritual Qi. This was also what people had been wanting to ask. With such terrifying combat powers, they thought that Lin Mo and Qilin could definitely be ranked in the Hidden Dragon Rank. Now, Lin Mo and Qilin were fighting for the Dragon Invitation. There was only one possibility. ¡°No comment. Also, do any of you have any Spatial Teleportation Talismans? if you do, I¡¯ll buy them at a high price.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and did not admit it. However, what he just did also showed that he had admitted it. Who else could Lin Mo and Qilin be if they were starting to purchase Spatial Teleportation Talismans¡­? ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ve got guts. The entire Northern Continent is after you, and yet you still dare to show up here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t even think about escaping. Once you leave the small world, the mayor will be the first to act.¡± ¡°The power of a quasi-Saint isn¡¯t something you can resist.¡± One after another, voice transmissions spread out. Many of them had malicious intentions, and most of them were disciples of some forces. Their sects were attached to the top sects, so they were the most excited. ¡°You¡¯re too noisy!¡± The smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face gradually faded as he looked up coldly. An ice-cold killing intent reverberated around the crowd. This made everyone shiver. Was Lin Mo going to start a killing spree? Who could resist the Kun Peng¡¯s techniques? ¡°Everyone, are you going to be threatened by him? Let¡¯s attack together and send them out in advance.¡± ¡°No matter how strong they are, there are only two of them. We have a few thousand people here. If we join forces, even Rulers will have to be wary of us.¡± These words gradually made people more courageous. After being incited by some people, people thought of the generous rewards for the wanted orders. If they could capture Lin Mo and Qilin here, they would definitely soar¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to instigate me. If you want to attack, I¡¯ll give you a chance.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. His hands turned into the Kun Peng Claws. He stretched them out in the air, instantly locking onto a few figures. ¡°Pfft!¡± Blood splattered everywhere as a few of them died instantly. In the face of Lin Mo¡¯s attack, even escaping became an extravagant hope. ¡°Lin Mo, you dare to commit murder?¡± Some people were furious, but at the same time, they were also very shocked. They had hidden so deeply, yet they were still discovered¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t forget what we¡¯re doing right now. What¡¯s wrong with me taking action in the fight for the only spot?¡± Lin Mo said disdainfully. It seemed that these people still did not understand the situation¡­ ¡°Could it be that you set up the auction to lure us here in order to kill us?¡± Someone stood out and berated Lin Mo loudly, wanting to reason with him. However, Qilin raised her hand and pointed. A bloody hole appeared between the man¡¯s eyebrows, and he was eliminated. ¡°I don¡¯t need to resort to any means to kill you. Cut the crap. Those who don¡¯t want to participate in the auction can leave.¡± As soon as Lin Mo said that, more than half of the people left. Lin Mo did not mind. To him, the most important thing at the moment was the spatial talisman. As for the other treasures, he simply wanted to use the system to make a fortune. ¡°Everyone, I can guarantee that as long as you bid, I¡¯ll sell the treasures. I won¡¯t cheat. If you believe me, just bid.¡± Lin Mo stood up. In order to reassure these people, he picked up the golden spear and introduced it. ¡°This is the King Kong Spear, a heaven-grade tier 1 magic weapon. It is powerful, but its origin is a little dangerous. ¡°Its initial owner was the Mystic Fire Demon King¡¯s disciple. I snatched it and am planning to auction it. If you¡¯re not afraid of trouble, just bid.¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll offer three half-step heaven-grade divine medicines.¡± Lin Mo had just finished when someone raised his hand to test the waters and called a price. ¡°Is anyone else bidding?¡± Lin Mo was not satisfied with the price and continued to wait for others to bid. To his surprise, no one else made a bid. The scene fell into silence. No one dared to speak. Even the man who bid earlier had a look of regret on his face. He knew that his price was too low. ¡°No one else is bidding?¡± Lin Mo asked again. Five minutes had passed since the first bid. Seeing this, he shook his head helplessly. Then, under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, he threw the King Kong Spear. The King Kong Spear landed in the man¡¯s hand. The man was extremely excited. This was definitely a powerful magic weapon that was worth two heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicines¡­ Even so, he managed to obtain it with three half-step heaven-grade divine medicines¡­ ¡°Pay up. If you¡¯re worried that someone will steal your treasure, you can stay here. I¡¯ll protect you in the small world.¡± A smile appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face as he asked the man to pay the price. ¡°Really?¡± The man was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and he hurriedly presented the three half-step heaven-grade divine medicines. Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the man sat cross-legged behind Lin Mo and began to refine the King Kong Spear. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning off a heaven-grade tier 1 magic weapon, the King Kong Spear. [The system compensates for your huge loss during the auction, triggering an 18,000-time rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 5 magic weapon, the Green Gold Battle Spear.] Lin Mo¡¯s loss was relatively large, so the compensation was also huge. It was a heaven-grade tier 5 magic tool. Though, it was not as good as the Green Cloud Sword that was lost before. Even so, it was still very powerful. This weapon would be enough for an ordinary person to use until the Saint realm¡­ Unfortunately, Lin Mo was not interested in it. He still had the War Demon Spear, a magic weapon that the Kun Peng had once refined. It was a heaven-grade tier 9 magic tool, and it contained a trace of immortal Qi and could be upgraded in the future. ¡°The next item is an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Ghostly Yin Herb. ¡°The starting price is five million high-grade spirit stones. I accept bartering.¡± Lin Mo picked up an elixir hanging by his side and continued the auction. With the previous incident, the people became more courageous, and a few people immediately bid. The Ghostly Yin Herb was very helpful to those who cultivated the soul, so there were many people fighting for it. In the end, the Ghostly Yin Herb was successfully bought by a young girl for ten million high-grade spirit stones. ¡°The same rule applies. If you¡¯re worried about your treasure being stolen, you can come to me.¡± Lin Mo said. After completing the transaction with the young girl, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Ghostly Yin Herb.] [Successfully triggered a 4,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicine, the Underworld Spirit Herb.] A pure black spirit herb appeared in the system space, emitting a strange aura. ¡°It just reached heaven-grade tier 1 and almost regressed¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. The Underworld Spirit Herb¡¯s medicinal effects had been reduced, and it was only of heaven-grade tier 1. ¡°The next auction item¡­¡± Chapter 655 - 655 Space 655 Space-Breaking Talisman [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Mystic Jade Lily.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 3 divine medicine, the Mystical Ocean Flower.] The Mystical Ocean Flower was a divine medicine that grew at the bottom of the sea. It was extremely difficult to pick and could only be found in some super large auctions. ¡°Many people have tried to barter, but unfortunately, they don¡¯t have a single Spatial Teleportation Talisman¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Without the Teleportation Talisman, it would be difficult for him and Qilin to leave. ¡°The last item is the Golden Light Pearl, a heaven-grade tier 2 treasure.¡± Lin Mo raised the last item for auction. Although he had obtained several divine medicines and half-step divine medicines on this trip¡­ What he needed the most right at the moment was a Teleportation Talisman. ¡°Lin Mo, I have an earth-grade tier 7 Teleportation Talisman here. It can avoid the detection of a Ruler of the ninth level. Do you want it?¡± At this moment, a man in a black robe walked out. He had a Spatial Talisman in his hand, but it was of a slightly lower grade. ¡°Swish!¡± There was a sudden change in the world. Someone in the dark could not hold back and made a move. They were hostile to Lin Mo and would not allow him to obtain the Teleportation Talisman. Even if the talisman could not allow Lin Mo and Qilin to escape from a quasi-Saint, they were still worried that an accident would happen. ¡°You¡¯re all looking for death.¡± Lin Mo snorted coldly and threw a punch across the air. The terrifying power even caused the space to tremble. The ground shook, and none of the people who attacked were spared. Their hearts were shattered by an unyielding force. Their bodies were transported out, and this scene made countless people¡¯s hearts tremble. ¡°Is there anyone else who wants to make a move? I¡¯m ready.¡± Lin Mo looked around coldly. At this moment, he was like a god, and no one dared to provoke him. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a half-step heaven-grade divine medicine in exchange. What do you think?¡± Lin Mo transmitted his voice. An earth-grade tier 7 talisman. Lin Mo would be making a huge profit by trading a half-step divine medicine for it. ¡°Deal,¡± the man said. The man also understood that he should not bite off more than he could chew. The outcome was perfect at the moment. ¡°Many thanks.¡± The transaction was completed very quickly, and Lin Mo obtained the earth-grade talisman he wanted. At the same time, not far away, a young man slashed himself, and his corpse was transported out. ¡°He went to report the matter¡­¡± Qilin said. That person must have gone to inform the quasi-Saint. If the quasi-Saint had something set up in advance, an earth-grade tier 7 talisman rune would not be able to take Lin Mo and Qilin away. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Mo smiled, and the auction continued. The Golden Light Pearl was very popular, and someone offered to trade a heaven-grade tier 2 divine medicine for it. ¡°The roots of this divine medicine of mine are in good condition. It can be planted, and its value will become higher.¡± Amid the argument, a woman said. She had a pot in her hand with a flower planted in it. Lin Mo probed with his soul power and found that it was indeed the case. Ordinary spirit and divine medicines would slowly die after being picked. It would be very difficult to keep them alive. If they were raised, their values would be even higher. ¡°A Phantom Spring Flower of heaven-grade tier 2. Very well. You¡¯re the highest bidder now.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He looked at the others, and they all shook their heads. Such a price was beyond their ability. ¡°Since no one else is bidding, this Golden Light Pearl is yours.¡± After announcing the outcome of the auction, Lin Mo quickly completed the transaction with the woman, and the system¡¯s voice appeared in his mind. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning a heaven-grade tier 2 treasure, the Golden Light Pearl.] [Successfully triggered an 8,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 4 treasure, the Mystic Death Pearl.] It was said that the Mystic Death Pearl was like the inner core of a Water Dragon. It contained a Dragon Qi and was extremely domineering. It could be used to defend against enemies, and if there was a corresponding method, it could even be used as a magic tool. ¡°The auction has ended. Thank you for your support. ¡°As for the battle for the Dragon Invitation, if you want to fight, feel free to do so.¡± Lin Mo and Qilin stood side by side, exuding terrifying auras. Although their cultivation levels were low, they had the bearing of Rulers, able to look down on the world. Seeing this scene, some people sighed. Their trip could be considered to have been in vain. The Dragon Invitation would definitely be taken by Lin Mo and Qilin. The others could not fight for it. ¡°Can¡¯t we join forces?¡± Someone was unwilling to give up and muttered in a low voice. However, his companion beside him was shocked. He quickly covered his mouth. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a day had almost passed. The space squirmed, and the Dragon Invitation appeared. Lin Mo grabbed it and kept it. When the people saw this, they looked at each other speechlessly, but they no longer had the desire to attack. This small world had also been explored by them more or less, and they had obtained all the treasures they could obtain. At this moment, some people had started to leave, preparing to go out and watch the next exciting show. ¡°Everyone, please wait. We¡¯ll leave later.¡± More and more people were leaving, and in the end, there were less than ten people left. Lin Mo quickly called out to them. If these people left, he would be in trouble. ¡°Is there anything else, fellow Daoist?¡± One of the women was puzzled. She exchanged glances with the people around her and confirmed that they had not offended Lin Mo. ¡°I still have a treasure to auction. I¡¯m asking some of you to stay behind to support me.¡± Lin Mo smiled. This was the result he wanted. ¡°You have another treasure?¡± A few of them were stunned for a moment before their interest was piqued. Lin Mo had left a treasure for last. What did he mean by that? ¡°It¡¯s an earth-grade tier 7 Spatial Teleportation Talisman. The starting price is 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.¡± When the Spatial Talisman was taken out, everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Qilin was stunned for a moment and quickly stepped forward to stop him. ¡°What are you doing? How are we going to run away if you sell it?¡± She was confused. Lin Mo did not lack hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, so why was he doing this? ¡°There are better talismans. This one isn¡¯t of much use, so it¡¯s better to sell it.¡± Lin Mo made up an excuse and announced the start of the auction. A few of them were skeptical, but Lin Mo did not seem to be lying. However, none of them made a bid because it was just a Teleportation Talisman. They did not need it. Spending spirit stones to buy a talisman they did not need was obviously a bad deal. ¡°No one is willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo scratched his head. The day was coming to an end. He could even feel that this small world was rejecting him. He would probably be forcefully teleported out in a while. ¡°I¡¯ll pay¡­ 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.¡± In the end, the woman who spoke earlier opened her mouth and offered the base price. ¡°500,000 high-grade spirit stones going once. ¡°500,000 upper spirit stones going twice. Lin Mo looked at the crowd and asked again. Still, no one made a bid. ¡°Going thrice, and deal. Thank you, fellow Daoist.¡± The transaction was completed very quickly, and the system¡¯s voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ear. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 7 Spatial Talisman.] [Successfully triggered a 10,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a half-step heaven-grade Space-breaking Talisman.] Almost at the same time, Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s figures began to turn illusory. They were teleported away. Outside, there was also an inescapable trap, waiting for him and Qilin¡­ Chapter 656 - 656 Conceal Their Fates 656 Conceal Their Fates In the spacious mayor¡¯s mansion, countless people were waiting for the outcome. There were also some powerhouses hiding among them. There might even be a quasi-Saint hiding among them to capture Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°What a b*stard! The geniuses of our sect had a great chance to get the Dragon Invitation, but it¡¯s a pity that they were stopped,¡± one of the elders said through gritted teeth. ¡°Forget it. After all, once we take Lin Mo down, there¡¯ll be a new competition for the Dragon Invitation. Those who were eliminated did not despair; they still had a chance to fight. They did not leave. After coming out of the small world, they waited here to see what the final result would be. ¡°Now, activate the formation.¡± ¡°Seal the space!¡± The mayor made his move and suppressed the space with the power of a quasi-Saint. Under his pressure, the Teleportation Talisman would have little effect. ¡°How lively, but I won¡¯t be attending to you¡­¡± As soon as he came out of the small world, Lin Mo felt that he was locked on by several powerful spiritual powers. If he still had the earth-grade tier 7 Spatial Talisman, he and Qilin could only wait to be captured without any chance of escaping. ¡°We¡¯re leaving.¡± Lin Mo reminded as he held onto Qilin¡¯s small hand. He then took out the Space-breaking Talisman from the system space. As he channeled his spiritual Qi, he and Qilin were wrapped in a silver-white light. ¡°Oh no.¡± The mayor and the hidden quasi-Saint changed their expressions at the same time. They all tried to stop him. Even so, the Space-breaking Talisman was so powerful that they could not stop Lin Mo and Qilin. The two of them disappeared in front of everyone into the void. ¡°It¡¯s a heaven-grade talisman, right?¡± In the void, Qilin was excited. They escaped without any difficulty. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He needed a Teleportation Talisman, and someone just happened to deliver it. Furthermore, the auction rebate gave him a better one¡­ One event happened after another. They could not have done it if any of the events did not happen. With the auspicious beast by Lin Mo¡¯s side, good luck would always be with him¡­ ¡°We have to get to the Dragon Pavilion within seven days. Let me eat the Silver Phoenix Fruit first while I prepare,¡± Qilin said. After leaving the spatial passageway, they arrived at a city far away. After paying the spirit stones, they boarded a warship and flew toward the Dragon Pavilion. ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Lin Mo said. There were a total of seven fruits on the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree. Qilin had eaten three before, and she wanted another three. There was only one left on the tree. At the same time, to ensure that nothing would happen to Qilin, Lin Mo also gave her a heaven-grade tier 4 Earth Spirit Holy Flower. ¡°Hehe, although three Silver Phoenix Fruits are enough, I won¡¯t be polite with you since you¡¯re so kind.¡± After putting away the Earth Spirit Holy Flower happily, Qilin explained how she had sneaked into the Dragon Pavilion. ¡°The Qilin Clan has many branches. It is said that they were passed down from the ancestral Qilin. I don¡¯t know the details.¡± Qilin shook her head and told Lin Mo. The White Qilin was known as the auspicious beast. It was a symbol of auspiciousness and could stir up luck and change a person¡¯s fate. What Qilin had to do was conceal Lin Mo¡¯s and her fate. Doing so was equivalent to erasing the two of them from the world and making them non-existent in history. Such a technique was that of an Emperor and would be difficult for a Saint to predict. Although there were many powerhouses in the Dragon Pavilion, it was not easy to reach the Emperor realm. As long as the people were still Saints, it would be impossible to discover Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°What about the damage to you?¡± Lin Mo frowned. The side effects of such a powerful concealment technique were bound to be huge. If it would leave permanent injuries, there would be no point in going to the ancient battlefield. ¡°During the period of concealment, my life force will be consumed at every moment. ¡°With my current strength, I can only last for a day at most. If I exceed that, my life force will be exhausted within six hours.¡± Lin Mo frowned even more when he heard about the terrifying side effects. ¡°This is a Holy Light Peach from the Holy Light Peach Tree. It can revive the dead and grow flesh from bones. Even if a quasi-Saint is dying, they can be saved.¡± Lin Mo took out another peach that was shimmering with golden light. Qilin¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at it. ¡°Are you a treasure box? Where did so many treasures come from¡­?¡± Not to mention anything else, just this Holy Light Peach would allow her to hold on for half a day. ¡°Unfortunately, the Holy Light Peach can only be consumed once in a lifetime¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. If one could consume it multiple times, he would be willing to give all the Holy Light Peach on the Holy Light Peach Tree to Qilin¡­ Their journey had been very smooth because Qilin was an auspicious beast. As long as Lin Mo did not take the initiative to cause trouble, he would be a bystander and would not be involved. At the same time, Qilin had also been eating too many divine medicines recently. She had been overnourished, and as a result, she had turned into a Qilin egg. Lin Mo could feel that there was an extremely rich power growing in her body. By the time Qilin broke out of her shell, she would become an Almighty powerhouse. The journey was smooth, and time passed by slowly. On the day the ancient battlefield opened¡­ Lin Mo followed the crowd and arrived at the Dragon Pavilion. A powerful Spatial Teleportation Formation had been set up here. At the center of the formation, there was a stone tablet that reached the sky. Dense runes appeared on it. This was the Northern Continent¡¯s Hidden Dragon Rank. It was said that this was the key to opening the ancient battlefield. The 3,000 people on the list had to arrive at the same time before they could activate the teleportation formation here. ¡°The fiercest competition is about to begin. There¡¯s still room for regret. Those who want to quit can leave.¡± A Dao voice came from the void and resounded in everyone¡¯s hearts. These were the elders of the Dragon Pavilion. They were activating the ancient formation at the moment. Once it was activated, one could only enter but not exit. At the same time, outside the formation, many figures appeared. Many young people flew into the formation, all of them holding a Dragon Invitation. However, when they entered, there were a few extremely powerful people mixed in the crowd, and they scanned the surroundings. Everyone who entered would be checked. They were looking for someone. ¡°Can we really do this? it¡¯s against the rules to attack someone on the Hidden Dragon Rank¡­¡± In a building, a few old men were drinking tea while monitoring the surroundings. They were all Saints who could determine life and death with a single thought. They came from the Dragon Pavilion and were looking for Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°Rules? aren¡¯t those set by the strong? They¡¯re just two rogue cultivators. We¡¯ll just capture them.¡± Another person said disdainfully. They were not the only ones who wanted to attack Lin Mo and Qilin. Almost 80% of the forces in the Northern Continent wanted to make a move on them. ¡°What if something happens? Don¡¯t forget how the Qilin girl escaped. Who helped her?¡± An old woman said worriedly. Back then, the Qilin girl had mysteriously appeared in the depths of the Dragon Pavilion and stolen a jade seal. This incident caused a stir in Dragon State. The news could not be kept a secret, and all the major forces in the Northern Continent knew about it. ¡°That¡¯s what the pavilion master is worried about. That¡¯s why he asked us to guard this place and not let these two sneak in.¡± A few of them chimed in, discussing Lin Mo and Qilin. Little did they know that the objects of their discussion were already inside the teleportation formation¡­ Chapter 657 - 657 Supreme Being 657 Supreme Being The Northern Continent was in an uproar, and Dragon State was packed with people. The various orthodox had sent people over to wait for news of the ancient battlefield. Of course, there was another reason. Lin Mo the God Devouring Body and the daughter of the ancient Qilin were also in Dragon State. The Saints from all sides made their moves and continuously planned to find the two people. People were guarding all the teleportation formations in Dragon State, and the Dragon Pavilion was the most active. After all, Dragon State was their territory. It would be very easy to capture the two juniors. ¡°It¡¯s happening soon. There are only a few more people on the Hidden Dragon Ranks left. The ancient battlefield is about to open,¡± someone in the teleportation formation said excitedly. On the stone tablet in the center, names lit up one by one. As long as one¡¯s name was on the list, their names would resonate when they arrived. At this moment, the stone tablet was as bright as day. At the top, the names of Lin Mo and Qilin were still dim. ¡°It¡¯s going to be difficult. I¡¯m afraid Lin Mo and the Qilin girl won¡¯t be able to make it¡­¡± Those who knew the situation shook their heads. They knew that Saints were guarding the teleportation formation and no one could escape¡­ ¡°What?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo seemed to have sensed something and raised his head. The Hidden Dragon Rank in the center of the room emitted two rays of light, and two more names lit up. ¡°It¡¯s Mu Yuzhu, ranked 15th on the Hidden Dragon Rank. Why is her ranking so low?¡± Someone exclaimed. ¡°What about the other one? It¡¯s Su Qing. Who is she?¡± People were confused because the other person on the Hidden Dragon Rank was Su Qing, who was ranked 3000th, which was the bottom of the list. ¡°That¡¯s Mu Yuzhu¡¯s maidservant. Do you still remember the jade seal that was stolen from the Dragon Pavilion?¡± After the explanation, everyone understood that Mu Yuzhu had worked with Lin Mo before, and at some unknown cost, she managed to exchange for a jade seal. Her maidservant, Su Qing, had some skills, but she could not get into the Hidden Dragon Rank. She was only ranked last because she had the jade seal. ¡°Now, we¡¯re only missing the first place, Qilin, and the seventh place, Lin Mo.¡± Even so, everyone knew that Lin Mo and Qilin could not make it. Perhaps they had been captured. ¡°They¡¯re all here. The teleportation formation is about to be activated. It¡¯s time for me to show myself¡­¡± Lin Mo murmured in a low voice. As his and Qilin¡¯s fates were hidden, they avoided much monitoring. Even the Hidden Dragon Rank could not find them, so their names did not light up. Lin Mo took out the Qilin egg from the spatial bag on his waist and released his aura without any reservation. A gentle fluctuation emerged from the Qilin egg, and an auspicious sign appeared on the horizon. This sacred aura made many people feel warm and intoxicated. ¡°Swish!¡± When Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s auras spread out, it caused a phenomenon. The Hidden Dragon Rank bloomed with golden light. 3,000 people had arrived, and the teleportation formation was activated at this moment. 3,000 jade seals appeared and fell from the sky. Lin Mo and the rest held them in their hands. ¡°They¡¯re here. Lin Mo and the Qilin girl are here¡­¡± Someone shouted, trembling with excitement. The Hidden Dragon Rank shone with golden light as immortal flowers bloomed and immortal Qi filled the entire space. The ancient battlefield that had been sealed for 3,000 years was about to open once more. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A shrill cry came from nearby, attracting Lin Mo¡¯s attention. He looked over and saw an old man with a pained expression and an extremely gentle immortal Qi. However, when the immortal Qi touched the man, it revealed boundless killing intent. In just an instant, the old man died an unnatural death, and even his soul could not escape. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Someone said in a panic. ¡°He¡¯s a Ruler, and he didn¡¯t sever his cultivation level. He used a magic tool to suppress it and was detected.¡± The teleportation formation was completely activated. Only those below the Almighty realm could enter. If one tried to force their way in, they would be killed by the immortal Qi. This was a supreme technique that no one had been able to break through. ¡°How is this possible? How did you get in?¡± The men behind Lin Mo could not believe their eyes. The Hidden Dragon Rank would never mistake people for each other. They were Lin Mo and Qilin. With so many Saints surrounding him, how did he manage to sneak in? What method did he use? ¡°I just walked in like this. Look, it was the one over there who checked me before this.¡± Lin Mo smiled and pointed. At the edge of the teleportation formation, there was an old man in the Saint realm who was furious. His eyes were bloodshot. Given his extraordinary memory, he was sure that he had seen Lin Mo, but why did he let Lin Mo go over at that time¡­? ¡°I didn¡¯t have the chance before. Thank you for helping me, senior. I¡¯m very grateful.¡± Lin Mo cupped his fists at the old man. In an instant, several auras locked onto the old man. There were even people who said that the old man was a traitor to the Dragon Pavilion who helped Lin Mo sneak into the teleportation formation. ¡°Nonsense.¡± The old man was furious and tried his best to explain, but he was surrounded by a group of people¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, good move¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu walked out of the teleportation formation, looking at Lin Mo in shock. This was unbelievable. People were guarding every teleportation formation entrance in Dragon State. Especially in the few cities near the Dragon Pavilion, more than one Saint was watching over them. Even under such circumstances, Lin Mo was still fine and had been waiting in the teleportation formation. ¡°It¡¯s just a small trick, and it¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not elaborate. ¡°Boom!¡± There was a loud sound like the sound of Dao. It was dull and shocking. This was released by the Hidden Dragon Rank, and it was as if the great Dao was shaking the entire world. On the horizon, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared. Teleportation formations were faintly discernible, and immortal Qi filled the air. Amid blurriness, some people even glimpsed the great Dao. ¡°It¡¯s so comfortable. I feel like I¡¯m about to have an epiphany¡­¡± Many people had the same feeling. This kind of immortal Qi was greatly beneficial even to Saints. To them, this was equivalent to a divine medicinal baptism. ¡°Boom!¡± All of a sudden, outside the teleportation formation, a huge hand tore the void apart and came down from the nine heavens. In an instant, heaven and earth cracked, and even the teleportation formation was affected. Many young people¡¯s blood was boiling as they felt an oppressive aura. ¡°Which terrifying being is this?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He looked up at the sky and saw a huge figure standing behind the crack. It was clad in golden armor and held the Prime Spear in its hand. One of its hands could suppress heaven and earth, and it could suppress all living beings. The people could not see the figure¡¯s form, but its aura was terrifying, making people want to submit from the bottom of their hearts. After staring at it for a while, Lin Mo felt like he was in an abyss, and a sense of despair welled up in him. Outside the teleportation formation, the sky had collapsed, and the ground had cracked. Countless people had been suppressed and could not move. Some people even vomited blood and were about to be killed by this huge hand. ¡°Break!¡± That figure let out a low shout and attacked the Hidden Dragon Rank. The light screen outside the teleportation formation could not stop it. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s heart was beating wildly. Even the Qilin egg in his arms was shaking. Qilin also felt the power of the attacker, whose realm was beyond imagination. ¡°Swish!¡± The Hidden Dragon Rank moved slightly, sending out a gentle aura that protected everyone. The terrifying pressure dissipated, and the Hidden Dragon Rank returned to its original state. The figure in the sky also withdrew his hand. There were a few drops of golden blood on his left hand. The crack disappeared, and the strange phenomenon on the horizon subsided. The oppressive atmosphere was relieved, and people let out a long breath. Lin Mo looked up at the sky and did not speak for a long time. ¡°Has that person reached the Emperor realm? Or has he reached¡­¡± Chapter 658 - 658 The Arrival of Heavenly Tribulations 658 The Arrival of Heavenly Tribulations Lin Mo figured that the person probably had not reached the Emperor realm yet. The person had only gotten in contact with it¡ªor not even. After all, the figure just now could not do anything to the Hidden Dragon Rank. Even so, now that such a being had appeared, what was he going to do when Lin Mo and Qilin emerged from the ancient battlefield? ¡°Woo¡­¡± The heavy sound of a bugle horn resounded, shaking the world. People felt as if they had returned to ancient times and experienced a great battle. Immortal Dao Buds completely bloomed, and the 3,000 gates of the Hidden Dragon Rank opened. The gates scattered all over the teleportation formation. At the same time, countless Dao Laws appeared for people to comprehend. Many people were stunned by the appearance of this miracle. It was not just the half-step Almighty juniors¡ªeven the Rulers and Saints outside looked over. This was the manifestation of the great Dao. If one could comprehend a thing or two, one might be able to increase one¡¯s realm that had been sealed for so long. Flowers bloomed all over the place, and 3,000 light beams flew out from the Hidden Dragon Rank, targeting everyone. Each beam of light swept up a million cultivators and flew into the corresponding door. Everyone was extremely excited. They had comprehended the great Dao, and their cultivation level, which had been suppressed for a long time, had finally risen at this moment. The teleportation formation disappeared, and the Hidden Dragon Rank returned to normal. The Immortal Dao Buds gradually withered, and the immortal Dao aura within them dissipated and eventually disappeared. ¡°I wonder how long this opening will last¡­¡± Some people muttered. They did not want it to take too long. If possible, they wanted to open it again in one or two years. This was because many people wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Kun Peng and the Qilin. ¡°We¡¯re finally here. Is this the ancient battlefield? ¡± After being sucked in, Lin Mo opened his eyes again. He was standing in mid-air, surrounded by endless mountains. The jade seal that he had been holding in his hand had already fused into his soul. It would save his life at a critical moment. ¡°Let¡¯s find a place to go into seclusion. I can¡¯t wait any longer¡­¡± As Lin Mo spoke, a pair of black and white Kun Peng Wings appeared on his back. They were extremely huge, like clouds that covered the sky. At this moment, he did not hold back at all. He used his extreme speed and disappeared into the sky in an instant. Along the way, many people had also come in. They felt the movement and wanted to attack. Even so, Lin Mo flapped his wings, and Yin and Yang Qi fluctuated. All the living beings that attacked were turned into dust at this moment, shattered in mid-air by the terrifying power. The Kun Peng¡¯s technique was overbearing and terrifying. This scene made everyone¡¯s heart jump. It was too strong and simply unimaginable. ¡°Boom, boom, boom.¡± The sound of thunder could be heard as thunderclouds appeared on the horizon, with lightning flashing. A python-like lightning arc struck down, causing the entire mountain range to go berserk as the universe¡¯s energy madly rushed over. Even Lin Mo was moved. He stopped and looked at the strange phenomenon. ¡°A genius has broken through and is currently undergoing a tribulation,¡± he muttered. This Heavenly Tribulation was very powerful and represented the might of the heavens. It could be seen that the person was very talented and was definitely a genius. ¡°Bang!¡± On the other side, there was also movement and the sound of a great battle. Someone had made a move, holding a heaven-grade magical tool and fighting against heroes. ¡°Take your time and fight. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Lin Mo stood there and observed for a while before turning to leave. The wings flapped, stirring up a strong wind, leaving afterimages in the air before finally dissipating. ¡°Boom¡­¡± After leaving for a certain distance, the sky was filled with rolling thunder. In fact, an Immortal Execution Platform had even appeared in the sky with Divine Chains of Order appearing one after another. In the next moment, they pierced toward Lin Mo. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This kind of attack was extremely terrifying. If he was caught, he would probably be pulled up to the Immortal Execution Platform. ¡°This is a Heavenly Tribulation, but I haven¡¯t broken through!¡± As Lin Mo muttered to himself, a ball of Heavenly Fire descended and burned down a mountain in the blink of an eye. Dao Flames spread and did not stop for a long time. ¡°Crack¡­¡± At the same time, a crisp sound came from the spatial bag on his waist. ¡°What a huge storm! The Heavenly Tribulation formed an Immortal Execution Platform. Who is it trying to kill?¡± Lin Mo asked softly. The next moment, a bolt of lightning struck down at an extremely fast speed. Lin Mo had no time to dodge. The spatial bag at his waist exploded, and a Qilin egg appeared. There were cracks on it, and a terrifying aura spread out. Qilin broke out of her shell, and her entire body was otherworldly and spiritual. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she was wearing a purple dress. She raised her slender jade-like hands and pressed them down casually. The Divine Chains of Order that were attacking from the front were completely shattered at this moment. It was Qilin. She had made a breakthrough and became a powerful being, attracting such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. ¡°It¡¯s not good to stay in this place for a long time¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. Qilin¡¯s power after her breakthrough was too strong, and the Heavenly Tribulation she triggered was not something he could withstand. ¡°Just focus on your tribulation. I¡¯ll stand guard from afar.¡± After saying that, Lin Mo left in a flash. After he was far away from Qilin, the Heavenly Tribulation did not trouble him anymore. He sped all the way and flew 50,000 kilometers away from the Heavenly Tribulation before he arrived at a safe distance. ¡°As expected of the auspicious White Qilin. The momentum of the tribulation is so great. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s one of the strongest Heavenly Tribulations since ancient times¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed in admiration. Little did he know that his Heavenly Tribulation had also arrived without him knowing. After entering the ancient battlefield, he no longer suppressed his cultivation realm. After being struck by the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation, the God Devouring Body automatically absorbed some of the Heavenly Thunder. At this moment, they were transformed into spiritual Qi and injected into his dantian. Like the last snowflake before an avalanche, Lin Mo¡¯s dantian turned into a black hole. Within a radius of 50,000 kilometers, the universe¡¯s energy was instantly exhausted. The rivers dried up, the mountains cracked, and the originally beautiful mountain range was completely dead. All the spiritual Qi was injected into Lin Mo¡¯s body, but it did not make him change his expression at all. In the sky, thunder rumbled. His Heavenly Tribulation was coming quietly. ¡°My Heavenly Tribulation is here too? Is it one of the most powerful Heavenly Tribulations in history, just like Qilin¡¯s?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. With the infusion of spiritual Qi from the universe, he had also broken through and entered the Almighty realm. What awaited him next would be a test of life and death¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± A bolt of golden lightning appeared and transformed into a Water Dragon in the sky, illuminating 50 kilometers. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The ground shattered and the void trembled. A massive Heavenly Tribulation was brewing. Lin Mo stood proudly on a mountain peak, looking at the thunder in the sky. His aura was rising, and he was adjusting his aura so that his condition would reach its peak. At the same time, he wanted to get used to his strength from the first level of the Almighty realm. Lin Mo could sense that his Heavenly Tribulation was extraordinary. If he was not careful, he would probably end up dead. The sky was dark, the wind was howling, and the mountains were shaking. The stars twinkled on the horizon, and huge meteorites fell from the sky, smashing into the mountains and rivers. The lightning began to increase, and dark clouds covered the city. The rhythm of the electric arcs could be seen with the naked eye. Lin Mo was dressed in a white robe. Facing the strong wind, he was like a 10,000-year-old pine tree, rooted in the ground and standing tall. ¡°An unforeseen event¡­ It¡¯s here¡­¡± In the clouds, rules and order appeared and began to change. Lin Mo took the initiative and flew toward the sky. The War Demon Spear appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, and it exuded an invincible aura. This was the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. If Lin Mo could survive it, the benefits he would obtain would be unimaginable. Hence, he brought the War Demon Spear along. He wanted to let this divine weapon evolve as well. Of course, the premise of all this was that he could safely pass the Heavenly Tribulation and receive its baptism. Chapter 659 - 659 Transformed in the Heavenly Tribulation 659 Transformed in the Heavenly Tribulation If Lin Mo was not careful, the Kun Peng¡¯s Demon Spear would also turn into ashes and be destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation. ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡­¡± A bolt of lightning struck Lin Mo¡¯s body. This was heaven¡¯s might, and its power was terrifying. His body started to bleed on the spot, and blood splattered into the air. ¡°Puff!¡± A large patch of lightning flashed and fell like a storm. Many wounds appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s body in an instant. Although they healed quickly, the intense pain still made him gasp. Lin Mo¡¯s body swayed, but he steadied himself in midair as the Kun Peng Wings appeared on his back. The wings flapped and carried him up into the sky. It was as if he wanted to come to the vault of the sky and compete with the universe. What responded to him was boundless Heavenly Thunder. This was a divine punishment¡ªdivine lightning used to kill cultivators. ¡°I have the God Devouring Body, one of the most powerful physiques of the human race. I¡¯m going to face the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation soon.¡± Lin Mo took a deep breath and continued to fly upward. He had mentally prepared himself for this. Back when the Heaven-mending Tablet asked him to cripple his God Devouring Body, he had thought of this. ¡°Come on.¡± He looked at the dark thunderclouds around him, opened his hands, and let the lightning strike. In the next moment, colorful lightning struck. All the attacks landed on Lin Mo¡¯s body as he circulated the Soul Devouring Art to absorb the power of the Heavenly Thunder. Lin Mo refined it and fused it into his body, which made his body stronger. This cycle repeated again and again. He sat cross-legged in the thunderclouds and let the Heavenly Thunder strike him. The God Devouring Body did not stop absorbing the power of the Heavenly Thunder to help Lin Mo strengthen his body. Gradually, the land of 50,000 kilometers became violent. The ground turned from a mess to a vibrant one. Although there were lightning bolts, they also brought endless vitality. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. In the ten days, people broke through to the Almighty realm and passed their Heavenly Tribulation one after another. However, in this area, Lin Mo and Qilin¡¯s Heavenly Tribulations were still active. From the looks of it, they were still in the first stage. Ever since Lin Mo had been submerged by the thunderclouds, the lightning had not stopped. He had been receiving the baptism of lightning all this time without a moment of rest. ¡°My physical body is about to reach its limit¡­¡± In the endless thunder, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. He could feel that the power of the Heavenly Thunder was stronger than before. Even so, they could no longer hurt him. His physical body had grown to a terrifying level in these ten days. He seemed to have sensed something and raised his head. Unknowingly, the black thunderclouds surrounding him began to retreat. ¡°That¡¯s¡­¡± The temperature in the air began to rise, and even space began to distort. In the sky, a real phoenix appeared. It was dancing in the sky. If anyone could see it, they would be very excited. This was because this was a True Phoenix that only existed in ancient times. It had long since disappeared. In the next moment, the phoenix attacked Lin Mo, spitting out True Phoenix Flames that burned everything¡ªeven the void. ¡°Pfft!¡± Lin Mo coughed out a mouthful of blood as soon as he received the attack. Although he endured it, his face was pale, and his soul was almost shaken by the attack. ¡°This is a soul attack. I was caught off guard and was almost seriously injured¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was as white as a sheet of paper as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. The Heavenly Tribulation had entered the next stage, and it was going to temper his soul. The True Phoenix Flames continued to attack, but Lin Mo still did not resist. He opened his hands and allowed the flames to burn his body. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± The burning pain from Lin Mo¡¯s soul made his body shiver, and lightning fell from the sky from time to time. He had to block them with all his strength, or he would be seriously injured. If that happened, he would have wasted his elixirs for nothing. Lin Mo was barely able to withstand the repeated attacks. It could be seen that his soul power was extremely powerful. Now that he had broken through to the Almighty realm, he was standing at an unimaginable height in this realm. When he raised his head, he realized that the phoenix was still circling and spitting out True Phoenix Flames. Every time Lin Mo endured the burning pain, his soul power would become stronger. This continued until the attacks of the True Phoenix became more and more frequent while the improvement of his soul became smaller. Another five days passed until Lin Mo¡¯s soul could not improve anymore. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s time to retaliate¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s soul power was twice as strong as before. This effect was even comparable to taking divine medicines to strengthen the soul. His soul condensed and formed a Kun Peng that wandered in the starry sea. A fierce battle with a True Phoenix was a battle of soul power. Both sides were locked in a fierce battle. In the end, perhaps because the Heavenly Tribulation realized that it could not do anything to Lin Mo, it took the initiative to transform its True Phoenix. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be that simple. There should be more¡­¡± Lin Mo knew that it would not pass. The Heavenly Tribulation was not that easy to deal with. In fact, the first two tribulations were just child¡¯s play to help him improve his strength. Otherwise, given that he had just broken through, he might not have been able to survive the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. After mentally preparing himself, Lin Mo flew into the sky once again and passed through the heavy thunderclouds. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Terrifying lightning flooded the area. This time, they were no longer gentle. In fact, the Heavenly Tribulation had never been gentle. Even Lin Mo¡¯s extremely strong body could not withstand them. He was severely injured in an instant, and he only recovered after consuming a half-step divine medicine. ¡®How terrifying! Why is the Heavenly Tribulation playing dirty too¡­?¡¯ Lin Mo cursed inwardly. This was too abnormal. The first two levels were clearly very normal, gradually increasing his strength. However, the third level was different. Lin Mo was almost struck to death the moment he came up. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body was charred black. He coughed out a mouthful of blood as he resisted the terrifying Heavenly Thunder with great difficulty. At this point, Lin Mo did not dare to be careless. He used the Yin Yang Dao Laws to affect the Heavenly Thunder and blocked it with spiritual power. The War Demon Spear swept across and destroyed a large amount of lightning. At the same time, it was also being tempered by the Heavenly Thunder, and the light on its body gradually became brighter. Furthermore, Lin Mo also realized that the God Devouring Body no longer fed back to him after devouring the power of the Heavenly Thunder. He could not even replenish the energy he had consumed, so he could only absorb the energy around him. This was a test of life and death. The Heavenly Tribulation had begun to take Lin Mo¡¯s life. Lin Mo took the initiative to attack, shattering the Heavenly Thunder and fighting with it. Unknowingly, a day and a night passed. Despite that, Lin Mo had long forgotten about the passage of time and was fully immersed in the battle against the Heavenly Thunder. At the same time, he could also sense that although he did not become stronger on this level, the weapon in his hand had been strengthened. The War Demon Spear became more resplendent, and the power it erupted with became more terrifying. With a gentle wave, the Heavenly Thunder dissipated. In the end, all the Heavenly Thunder here had been destroyed¡­ ¡°How much has it been strengthened?¡± Lin Mo mumbled to himself and stored the War Demon Spear in the system space for the system to appraise it. [War Demon Spear, forged by the Kun Peng in ancient times. Now, it has reached the peak of heaven grade, and the immortal Qi inside has been activated. As it has absorbed the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, it is evolving into a quasi-celestial weapon.] Chapter 660 - 660 The Nine Levels of Divine Punishment 660 The Nine Levels of Divine Punishment When the surrounding Heavenly Thunder was destroyed, the place returned to peace. Lin Mo was overjoyed. This was because the War Demon Spear was really evolving, and he would get a quasi-celestial weapon. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Suddenly, the thunderclouds above gathered, and the next moment, it started to rain. The raindrops patted Lin Mo¡¯s face, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body. The raindrops were healing his injuries. ¡°What is this rain? It contains so much life force¡­¡± Lin Mo absorbed it greedily and put some into the system space at the same time. [Original Thunder Liquid, an extremely rare liquid in the world. It was born in the third of the nine levels of Divine Punishment.] [After passing the third level of the Heavenly Tribulation, the heavens will send down the Original Thunder Liquid for all things in the world to bathe in. It contains unlimited vitality.] The system¡¯s voice caused a huge stir in Lin Mo¡¯s heart. He did not expect that just by testing what kind of liquid it was, he would be able to find out about the Heavenly Tribulation he was facing. ¡°This is the third layer of the Heavenly Tribulation. Doesn¡¯t that mean there are six more levels?¡± At the thought of this, Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He had to consume a half-step heaven-grade divine medicine to pass through the third level. One could easily imagine the amount of energy needed to face a Heavenly Tribulation. The level of danger was simply too high. The Heavenly Tribulation on this level had ended, and Lin Mo should head to the next level. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen. The Kun Peng Wings flapped, and they carried him up into the sky once again. ¡°Boom!¡± All of a sudden, a huge pillar of lightning descended and struck Lin Mo¡¯s body. The terrifying force almost sent Lin Mo flying back to the third level. He was covered in blood, and his body was covered in lightning. ¡°Damn it, can you not use sneak attacks¡­?¡± He cursed. This pillar of light had injured him quite badly. He flew up again, and the next moment, he was speechless. The thunder tribulation of the fourth level had begun. At the same time, Lin Mo sensed that as long as he could fly to the fifth heaven, he would be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. Just when he thought it would be simple, lightning gathered in the sky. Like a waterfall, they covered the entire area, bringing with them the might of the heavens. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened. There were more than 10,000 bolts of lightning. They covered the entire area and fell ruthlessly. He stood under the lightning and was about to fly up against the waterfall when he unleashed the Kun Peng¡¯s arts. He even used the Nine Qilin Steps. After six hours, the spiritual Qi in his body was exhausted, and he was covered in injuries. After consuming half of the divine medicines, he finally recovered and continued flying forward. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s hair was disheveled, and his skin was charred black when he reached the fifth level. He was too miserable, and there was no reward for breaking through the fourth level. The Heavenly Tribulation on the fifth level was also activated at this moment. Snowflakes fell, and the lightning disappeared. Lin Mo¡¯s vision was filled with white. ¡°It¡¯s snowing¡­¡± Lin Mo caught one of the snowflakes and could feel the biting cold¡­ He shuddered and quickly took out a half-step divine medicine and ate it in two or three bites. Before the medicinal properties in his body could dissolve, a whistling sound came from the distance, and he saw a raging fire burning toward him. Snowflakes danced in the flames, bringing with them frost. Lin Mo did not manage to dodge in time and was engulfed by the flames. A burning and freezing sensation attacked him at the same time. He felt like he was in a fire but was also sealed in ice. He could not move at all. The spiritual Qi in his body was frozen, and he could not do anything. Even his soul had been frozen, enveloped by the power of ice and fire. ¡°Is this really the Heavenly Tribulation of my realm?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness gradually faded, and he had a bad feeling. He tried his best to stay awake. The two forces of ice and fire wreaked havoc in his body, destroying his vitality and trying to take his life. ¡°Ice and fire are also Yin and Yang¡­¡± In his daze, Lin Mo thought of this. Subconsciously, he activated the Kun Peng¡¯s arts. The Yin Yang Dao Laws appeared in his body, and the two powers complemented and countered each other. Yin and Yang continued to transform, and a new life force was born in Lin Mo¡¯s body. In an instant, Lin Mo¡¯s body exploded with infinite vitality. He shattered the ice and broke free from the flames. ¡°It¡¯s the power of a Dao Law. If I didn¡¯t control the Yin Yang Dao Laws, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to pass this so easily.¡± Lin Mo rejoiced and flew up to the sky again, arriving at the sixth level. After passing one death tribulation after another, he hadtransformedn. However, the transformation of his body made him understand that he was gradually becoming stronger. Under the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, he was getting stronger. With a firm belief, Lin Mo faced the tribulation again. Unknowingly, 25 days had passed since he started overcoming the tribulation. The tribulation continued, leaving the people who saw it speechless. The longest time they took to pass a tribulation was only two to three days. This was also if one was an extraordinary genius. However, Lin Mo¡¯s lightning tribulation lasted for 25 days, and it was still going on¡­ ¡°I passed the eighth level. I¡¯m just one step away from success¡­¡± At this moment, Lin Mo charged up to the last level, which was also the most terrifying level. Here, Lin Mo encountered a terrifying calamity and narrowly escaped death. He had used all means possible and experienced the tribulations of life and death. In the end, even the void collapsed, and the lightning gradually weakened. Lin Mo leaped up and consumed an entire divine medicine. He was instantly resurrected, and he charged into the thunderclouds. ¡°Yes, this is the purest law of the Thunder Dao, and it symbolizes heavenly punishment¡­¡± In the thunderclouds, Lin Mo discovered many runes. They were very pure and could make people instantly comprehend them. That said, Lin Mo did not have the time to collect them because his body had suffered a terrible injury. Divine Chains of Order appeared on the horizon, and laws manifested, binding him and trying to drag him into the thunderclouds. Lin Mo was fighting against the heavens and the will of the Heavenly Tribulation, ignoring the rules. In the end, he was forced to risk his life and fight a bloody battle in the thunderclouds. He scattered the rules and shattered the Divine Chains of Order. At the end of the battle, his body was covered in blood, and not a single part of him was intact. The thunderclouds around him had also completely dissipated. The sky was filled with torn Divine Chains of Order that were slowly disappearing. A ray of sunlight shone down from the horizon, causing Lin Mo to close his eyes as he was not used to it. Being in the thunderclouds and not seeing the sun for a long time, the bright sunshine was a little glaring at this time. ¡°The thunderclouds are about to dissipate. Have I survived?¡± Lin Mo muttered. Before he could heal his injuries, a familiar feeling came over him. It rained again, and the Original Thunder Liquid continued to fall, cleansing and healing him. At this moment, he felt very comfortable. At the same time, his cultivation level had also increased, and he was an Almighty of the second level. Although he was still covered in injuries, after being healed, his body glowed, and he looked solemn. ¡°Buzz!¡± At the same time, a large cloud of milky-white gas appeared in front of Lin Mo. It condensed and did not dissipate. ¡°Is this the reward for my success?¡± Lin Mo chuckled and kept some of the gas in the system space for the system to identify what kind of treasure it was. [Immortal Qi, an extremely rare type of Qi in the world. It can be used to refine immortal pills and set up immortal Dao formations.] [This is the reward for passing the nine levels of the Divine Punishment. It¡¯s an opportunity from heaven and earth. You should stop after taking half of it.] Hearing the system¡¯s words, Lin Mo was excited. There was such a huge cloud of Qi. Even if he only took half of it, they were still precious. ¡°I¡¯ve earned a lot¡­¡± Chapter 661 - 661 The Immortal Qis Preaching 661 The Immortal Qi¡¯s Preaching Immortal Qi floated in the air. It was real and illusory, and there were traces of time flowing in it. A sweet fragrance wafted over, and an auspicious sign appeared. When it was inhaled into his lungs, the surface of his body instantly glowed with fluorescent light. ¡°This immortal Qi is truly a treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo praised. Not only did it contain life, but it also contained laws. It could temper one¡¯s body, temper one¡¯s soul, refine pills, and so on. It was the most mysterious energy in the world. It had extremely harsh conditions for its birth and was very difficult to obtain. The nine levels of Divine Punishment were one of the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulations in the world. How could ordinary people hope to reach it? Even if there were, it would be in that extremely terrifying and dangerous place, where one could easily lose their life. It was a place that even Saints did not dare to approach. Only when they reached the supreme Emperor domain could they look for it. This was why Lin Mo had never heard of such a treasure even though he had relied on Qilin to find many divine and half-divine medicines in his travels. He moved closer and touched the immortal Qi with his hand. He found that there was more than one cloud of immortal Qi not far away. If it was just a cloud of immortal Qi, then he would have to consider carefully before taking the risk to pass the nine levels of Divine Punishment. After all, for this kind of Heavenly Tribulation, as long as one¡¯s realm was not too high, one could perfectly break through after passing through four or five stages. Now that Lin Mo had gone through nine Heavenly Tribulations in pursuit of perfection, he was fortunate to have many benefits. ¡°What a comfortable feeling¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s entire body relaxed as he lay down. Surrounded by immortal Qi, his injuries healed at a faster rate. He was originally on the verge of death from his serious injuries, but after being healed by the cloud droplets and the immortal Qi, he felt extremely comfortable. Immortal Qi flowed through his limbs and bones, clearing his meridians and spreading throughout his body to heal all his injuries. The effect was obvious. In just a few breaths, his injuries completely healed, and his entire aura changed. A majestic and powerful life force was being nurtured in Lin Mo¡¯s body, giving off a feeling of an endless life. Moreover, this power was not a one-time thing. It was permanent, and even the God Devouring Body could not devour it. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s a power of the same level¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. The God Devouring Body could devour everything, even those of the same level. However, his realm was too low, so he could not fully use his God Devouring Body. This also caused the immortal Qi in his body to be unable to be devoured and could be kept forever. Runes flickered on his bones from time to time, and the light of Dao Laws was extremely dazzling and mesmerizing. The runes were none other than the Kun Peng runes. They contained the Kun Peng¡¯s innate runes. Upon closer inspection, one could tell that it was the Yin Yang Dao Law, the most powerful technique that Lin Mo had mastered. These runes were engraved on his bones and fused with his flesh and blood. As the light flickered, an ancient and primitive Dao sound surrounded him. Lin Mo¡¯s physical body was far beyond that of ordinary people. He was able to resist the destructive Heavenly Thunder. And now, these runes were carved on his bones, making his body even more powerful. The first cloud of immortal Qi was completely absorbed, and clouds of immortal Qi flew in from all directions. The fragrance assailed Lin Mo¡¯s nostrils, and his body bloomed with divine light. It was as brilliant as the morning glow, making him look extremely sacred. Lin Mo was immersed in it, and it was as if someone was chanting in his ears, explaining the true meaning of the great Dao to him. His body and mind were empty. Soul fluctuations spread out from his glabella, emitting a bright light. A small golden figure formed. It sat cross-legged between Lin Mo¡¯s eyebrows, absorbing the immortal Qi as well. If this phenomenon was seen by others, they would be very envious. Lin Mo was in the Almighty realm, but his soul was almost as solid as a quasi-Saint, and he was still absorbing the immortal Qi to refine his soul. After an hour, Lin Mo¡¯s injuries had completely healed, and he was even stronger than before. The Heavenly Tribulation represented the laws of heaven and earth, and it was used to test those who sought the Dao. At the same time, it was also a punishment for the cultivators. They had to go against the heavens and accept the punishment. If they could withstand it, they would be able to obtain supreme opportunities. If they could not withstand it, they could only face death. Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged in the air. About a meter below him, there was a mysterious Great Dao Flower. Above him, another Immortal Dao Bud bloomed. This phenomenon was extremely mysterious. It was accompanied by a Dao voice that explained the Dao laws to Lin Mo. Furthermore, it was the Yin and Yang that he was cultivating. If there were people here, they would definitely be shocked because this was too unbelievable. The Heavenly Tribulation could preach to people¡­ Lin Mo listened quietly as his body absorbed the immortal Qi. However, he could not last much longer. His body could not take it anymore. He was full and could only slowly digest it. The Great Dao Flower below disappeared, and the Immortal Dao Bud above withered. The Dao voice ended at this moment. Immortal Qi still surrounded Lin Mo, but he could no longer absorb them. Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked at himself in disbelief. His injuries were completely healed, and his soul had made great progress. His realm was also at the peak of the second level of the Almighty realm. The tribulation clouds were dissipating. The nine levels of Divine Punishment were about to disappear. After all, Lin Mo had transcended the tribulation. The tribulation clouds had completed their mission and were about to merge with the world. ¡°Phew!¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He did not waste any more time. He took out a clay pot and carefully kept the immortal Qi. After leaving the tribulation cloud, the immortal Qi condensed into dew and flowed into the jar. ¡°When the sun is in the middle of the sky, the great Dao will be reduced by half.¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had used up a lot of immortal Qi before, and now he could only take this little. The dew formed by the immortal Qi was only half a jar. ¡°It¡¯s a pity¡­¡± Looking at the tribulation cloud that had completely dissipated, Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with regret. Nonetheless, he also knew that going too far was as bad as falling short. One must be content with what one had. He had gained a lot from passing the nine levels of Divine Punishment. ¡°This can be considered as Immortal Dew. I¡¯ll find an opportunity to auction it off¡­¡± ¡°Boom!¡± Thunder rumbled, and the world continued to reverberate with the sound of thunder. Heavy rain poured down, and within the rain, there was life. It was only then that Lin Mo felt that the area within 50,000 kilometers of where he had transcended his tribulation had been scorched. Countless mountains crumbled, and the ground was devastated. No other living being except him had survived the Heavenly Tribulation. Fortunately, the place where he conquered his tribulation was the boundless mountain range. The nearby cultivators had retreated and did not dare to approach. ¡°Wow, Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯re still alive.¡± Qilin sensed Lin Mo¡¯s aura and rushed over in a few breaths. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s face darkened when he heard her first sentence. ¡®Does this little girl know how to speak? What does she mean by still being alive? Also, why did she look so surprised when she said that?¡¯ ¡°Your Heavenly Tribulation was so terrifying. It was as if it was going to destroy the world. Mountains within 50,000 kilometers have become lands of death. I was even prepared to erect a monument for you,¡± Qilin muttered. Lin Mo wanted to hit her when he heard this, and he glared at her. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long, let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Mo immediately pulled Qilin up and disappeared. Since the tribulation clouds had disappeared, there would definitely be people coming to check things out. Perhaps the enemy would come as well. Although Lin Mo had broken through, those people were not weak either. They all had solid foundations and many accumulations. After speeding along and spending half a day, they found a quiet place. Lin Mo found out from Qilin that his tribulation lasted for a month. During this period, no living creature could approach within 50,000 kilometers. This included her, who was blessed with great luck. Chapter 662 - 662 Dragon 662 Dragon-Patterned Carp Countless people transcended their tribulations on the ancient battlefield¡­ Nonetheless, even for Qilin, her Heavenly Tribulation only lasted for 15 days. It was similar for the rest of the geniuses. The longest one was still within 25 days. On the other hand, Lin Mo¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a month, which was the longest Qilin had ever heard of. ¡°Oh right, this is for you. You can break through after eating it.¡± Qilin handed over a scale-covered fruit, and a strong bloody smell emerged. The smell made Lin Mo¡¯s head sink, and he almost fainted. ¡°What kind of fruit is this?¡± He had never seen it before, but the power it contained was extremely terrifying. ¡°I don¡¯t know. The smell of blood is too strong, so I can¡¯t eat it. You can have it.¡± Qilin spread out her hands. This was something she obtained after transcending her tribulation. A divine forest was nurtured within the tribulation clouds. After she passed her tribulation, she entered the forest and picked one. The next moment, the tribulation clouds moved violently and chased her out. The forest completely dissipated after that. Qilin was regretful because there were many fragrant divine fruits in the divine forest. If she could only pick one, then she would have suffered a great loss. She had picked one that could not be eaten. ¡°I¡¯ll take a look first.¡± Lin Mo stored the scale-covered fruit in the system space. [Snake Scale Fruit, a heaven-grade tier 9 divine fruit. It can purify the bloodline of a snake-type demonic beast and increase one¡¯s cultivation. If eaten by a non-snake demonic beast, it can increase less than 20% of the power of their bloodline.] This was a heaven-grade tier 9 divine fruit, but its effects were not suitable for Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°This is a Snake Scale Fruit. It can only be eaten by a snake-type demonic beast. It¡¯s not very useful for us to eat it. It¡¯ll be a waste.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and sighed, reprimanding the little girl for not observing properly. She had taken a useless reward from her Heavenly Tribulation. ¡°How could it be¡­?¡± Qilin was dejected as she sat on the rock, filled with regret. ¡°Learn your lesson. Don¡¯t be greedy in the future.¡± Lin Mo patted Qilin¡¯s head and comforted her. Even so, it was also at this moment that he felt the spiritual Qi in Qilin¡¯s body that was as vigorous as the ocean. ¡°You¡­ The fifth level of the Almighty realm?¡± Looking at Qilin¡¯s realm, Lin Mo¡¯s mouth was wide open in shock. He did not expect the rebound to be so fierce. Qilin directly reached the fifth level after the tribulation¡­ ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve eaten so many divine medicines and elixirs. It¡¯s normal for me to reach this realm.¡± Qilin smiled and was very proud. Lin Mo was speechless. ¡®So this is how it is. The others must be the same. They must¡¯ve gained more than me.¡¯ He handed Qilin a few spirit fruits, and Qilin happily took them and ate them like normal fruits. Lin Mo then began to check his physical body and found that it had become abnormally strong. Other than that, there was nothing strange about his body. His meridians were stable, and his flesh and blood were very active. The only thing that puzzled him was that the runes on his bones had disappeared. He clearly remembered that the Kun Peng¡¯s arts were engraved on them, which was also why his physical body was so strong. ¡®Do I need immortal Qi? Or a similar great opportunity?¡¯ Lin Mo was puzzled. He had a feeling that some kind of treasure was being hidden, but he could not find it at the moment. ¡®Well, it¡¯s on me anyway.. I¡¯ll think about it next time¡­¡¯ If Lin Mo could not find it, then he would not. He brought Qilin out of the mountain and fed her the Immortal Dew in a jar. Even with Qilin¡¯s physique, she could only drink two or three mouthfuls. She had obtained many benefits from her tribulation, and this Immortal Dew was just to make up for her regret of not being able to eat the Snake Scale Fruit. ¡°This is good. I feel like my soul has sublimated.¡± Qilin was extremely satisfied. The Immortal Dew was too delicious. It cleansed everything, and the feeling of her soul subliming was wonderful. It was a pity that she could not drink too much of it, or she would explode and die. ¡°The universe¡¯s spiritual Qi is gathering. There must be a supreme treasure forming nearby.¡± As Lin Mo walked, he felt the changes in the surrounding spiritual Qi and guessed that there must be a treasure nearby. At the end of his vision, there was an auspicious Qi rising from the ground, and the spiritual Qi of the universe was moving rhythmically. He and Qilin strolled along the direction of the universe¡¯s spiritual Qi and finally arrived at a valley. The stone walls around them were as smooth as jade and emitted a precious light. In the middle of the valley, there was a divine spring that overflowed with light. Divine multicolored light filled the sky, showing endless auspicious signs. ¡°A pot of water from this divine spring is equivalent to an elixir of earth-grade tier 9¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. ¡°Who are you? How dare you come here to steal the treasure?¡± ¡°Hmph, there are only the two of you, and you dare to fight for the treasure here? Are you tired of living?¡± In the valley, a group of people confronted Lin Mo and Qilin. When those people saw Lin Mo and Qilin walk in, they all pointed their spears at them. There were more than 30 people here, and they were divided into three groups of forces. Under the three forces, no one dared to act rashly. Lin Mo did not respond. He looked at the divine spring. He found some water plants swaying in the clear spring water. They were just ordinary water plants, but they were of spirit grade tier 9. Despite that, those were not worth his time. What was truly valuable was the creature swimming in the spring water. It was a golden, slender fish that was two meters long. Its scales were golden with a tinge of white. It swam in the water, and Lin Mo was in a daze. He had a premonition that it was not a fish, but a True Dragon¡­ ¡°Am I mistaken¡­?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. It was clearly a fish. If it was a True Dragon, these people would not be so calm. ¡°Go away. You¡¯re just two rogue cultivators. How dare you lay your hands on the Dragon-patterned Carp?¡± Someone on the side shouted. Two of the young men had lost their patience. They released their auras and intended to scare Lin Mo and Qilin away. ¡°What¡¯s a Dragon-patterned Carp?¡± Qilin asked curiously. She drooled as she looked at the fish in the spring water. Its name had the word ¡®dragon¡¯ in it. If it was made into soup with the divine spring, it would probably be tasty¡­ ¡°The Dragon-patterned Carp is a rare treasure in the world. Its meat is fresh and tender, and it is best used to make soup. If it is paired with divine medicine, it can maximize the effects of the divine medicine. It is a delicacy passed down from ancient times. ¡°It is said that in ancient times, there was a dish related to the Dragon-patterned Carp, the Emerald Dragon Carp. It is known to be the most delicious food in the world¡­¡± Lin Mo explained the Dragon-patterned Carp in detail. He could not help but drool at the end, let alone Qilin the foodie. ¡°Wow, it¡¯d be a crime to miss such a delicacy¡­¡± Qilin wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. Her guess was right. The creature was edible, and there was a special recipe for it. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. We don¡¯t have the recipe for the Emerald Dragon Carp, so we can¡¯t make it. We can only make soup.¡± Lin Mo felt a little regretful. If it were not for the harsh conditions of raising a Dragon-patterned Carp, he would be a little reluctant. ¡°It¡¯s such a pity¡­¡± Qilin felt very regretful. At the same time, she swore to herself that he would collect all the recipes in the world and not miss anything next time¡­ ¡°Hey, you two, don¡¯t go too far!¡± An angry voice interrupted the conversation between Lin Mo and Qilin. The 30 over people present were all furious, and their eyes were fixed on them. This was a Dragon-patterned Carp, a rare treasure in the world. When used in conjunction with divine medicine, it could double the medicinal effects of the divine medicine. However, Lin Mo and Qilin seemed to be focusing on different things¡­ Chapter 663 - 663 Picking up Treasures at Random 663 Picking up Treasures at Random ¡°Forget it. They¡¯re just two clowns. Let¡¯s just kill them.¡± A young man sneered and made his move. With a shake of his hand, he threw out a sword ray that was mixed with water and fire attributes. ¡°Swish!¡± It was a pity because Lin Mo was considered the best among the younger generation when it came to Sword Dao. Even if he was not ranked first, he was definitely one of the top ten. After all, he had studied it since he was young and was quite profound in it. Lin Mo displayed his Sword Qi slightly and raised his hand to block the sword light. At the same time, the young man¡¯s long sword was caught between Lin Mo¡¯s two fingers and could not move. This was a half-step heaven-grade divine sword, and the power it contained could not be underestimated. However, such a divine sword was snapped in half by Lin Mo. Everyone was shocked and retreated. They looked at Lin Mo warily. ¡°Who are you?¡± Their faces were serious, knowing that another strong enemy had come, and the competition for the Dragon-patterned Carp was getting more and more intense. ¡°Before you ask for my name, you have to say yours first.¡± Lin Mo smiled as he looked at the three parties. Although they were wearing iconic sect uniforms, the Northern Continent was so big that no one knew which forces they were from. ¡°I¡¯m Qiu Ying, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Liu Feng, a disciple of the Demon Puppet Clan.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Yao Chen, a disciple of the Human King Mansion.¡± Three young geniuses walked out from the divine spring. They came from three different forces and were fighting for the Dragon-patterned Carp. ¡°I know about the Human King Mansion. It¡¯s a powerful force that once ruled Sword State, but it was weakened after that.¡± Hearing this, Qilin was immediately displeased. She coldly stared at the young man on the left. Seeing this, Lin Mo instantly understood that she must have been ambushed by the people of the Human King Mansion when she escaped from Dragon State and passed by Sword State. Yao Chen was taken aback. He looked at Qilin and felt a sense of familiarity. Struck with a thought, he took out a scroll from his storage ring. The scroll was a painting. Lin Mo had seen something similar before. When Qilin escaped from Dragon State, countless people chased after her for the inheritance and blood essence of the Qilin. This painting was Qilin¡¯s wanted order, which had once put her in a life-and-death crisis. ¡°The ancient Qilin girl!¡± Everyone was shocked. They all took out their magical weapons and aimed at Qilin. Yao Chen and the other two walked forward, the greed in their eyes could no longer be suppressed. They looked at each other and understood what they were thinking. They nodded at the same time. The Dragon-patterned Carp was no longer important at this moment. ¡°Ancient Qilin girl, hand over the Qilin inheritance.¡± ¡°Also, give me the Qilin blood. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to leave today.¡± A group of people surrounded Qilin and stared greedily at her. The supreme inheritance of Qilin, as well as the purest and strongest blood essence. Such huge benefits made them forget about Qilin¡¯s strength for a moment. To be listed as the first in the Hidden Dragon Rank, how could she be simple? ¡°Greed makes one forget fear¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He flickered, and everyone could only see his afterimage slowly disappear. His actual body was nowhere to be seen. Immediately after, Yao Chen reacted. With a scream, he used his magic tool to block the attack. Unfortunately, his decent reaction was completely useless. ¡°Pow!¡± The left side of Yao Chen¡¯s face was badly mangled, and half of his teeth flew out along with blood. Lin Mo gave him a tight slap, almost causing his head to fall off. This was also because Lin Mo had shown mercy, so Yao Chen was only sent flying with some minor injuries. Even so, everyone was still very shocked. One must know that Yao Chen was a genius from the Human King Mansion. He had been in the ancient battlefield for a month and had made consecutive breakthroughs. He was a fifth-level Almighty powerhouse at the moment. Despite that, such a genius had no way of fighting back against Lin Mo. ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re Lin Mo.¡± At this moment, someone realized what was going on and exclaimed in shock. It was rumored that Qilin had followed the human God Devouring Body. At first, not many people believed it, but now, they had no choice but to believe it. It was also at this moment that they finally reacted to the situation. Of the two people in front of them, one was ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank, and the other was ranked first. Just a moment ago, they were still thinking of joining forces to capture Qilin, but now, they could not even protect their lives¡­ ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Lin Mo looked at Qilin. He was too lazy to care about a group of people whose eyes were blinded by greed. In terms of talent and combat power, only Yao Chen and the other two were worthy of him. Nevertheless, that was all there was to it. They were not enough to concern him. ¡°There¡¯s no sense of accomplishment even if I kill them¡­¡± Qilin pouted. Killing these people made her feel like she would be bullying the weak¡­ ¡°Do you have the recipe for the Dragon-patterned Carp?¡± After thinking for a while, Qilin suddenly asked. These people all had powerful backgrounds, so maybe someone had it. However, Qilin was disappointed. These people looked around and finally handed her half a sheepskin scroll. ¡°Is half of it enough?¡± Qilin looked at Lin Mo with hope in her eyes. ¡°It should be, but I¡¯ll have to wait for a while.¡± Lin Mo laughed. With the auction rebate system in his hands, there was nothing Lin Mo could not do. He did not want to lie to Qilin, but he was afraid that she would ask about the origin of the treasure. ¡°That¡¯s great! Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯re the best!¡± Qilin was extremely excited. Like a child, she held Lin Mo¡¯s arm and jumped up and down. After keeping the Dragon-patterned Carp, Lin Mo did not let the divine spring water go to waste. He took half of the spring water to make soup¡­ As for Yao Chen and the rest, Lin Mo and Qilin took away the valuable treasures they had and let them go. Before Lin Mo left, he found out from these people that the ancient battlefield¡¯s opening time was not fixed. The longest one lasted for 100 years. At that time, tens of thousands of Saints were born in the entire Northern Continent. It was the golden age. As such, there were cities built by predecessors in certain areas of the ancient battlefield. They could be considered gathering points. The auction that Lin Mo was looking for was also in that place. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we should be able to eat the Emerald Dragon Carp tonight.¡± According to the rough map they had obtained, the two spent five days before finally finding a city. It was relatively small and not well-known, so it should have been built in recent generations. ¡°This is the same as changing the environment for cultivation¡­¡± Qilin praised. She liked the ancient battlefield because there were no shameless old fogeys who were concerned about her. Moreover, the environment was very suitable for cultivation. It was rich in resources, and the universe¡¯s spiritual Qi even contained some Dao laws. This would make it easier for one to comprehend Dao and improve faster. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s that?¡± As they were walking, Lin Mo suddenly froze and turned to look at a woman. At her stall, there were all sorts of ancient objects. ¡°Feel free to look around. They¡¯re all excavated from ruins,¡± the woman spoke bluntly. ¡°Look at this¡­¡± Before Lin Mo could take a closer look, Qilin grabbed a red stone and handed it over to him. stored it in the system space. [Nine Dazzling Stone, a rare treasure of heaven and earth. If you add a little of it when refining a magic weapon, it can greatly increase the level of the magic weapon.] ¡°And this¡­¡± Qilin handed over another piece. [An ordinary stone with a seed of a divine tree inside. It is of heaven grade tier 3.] [Spirit King Fruit Tree. After it matures, it can grow to heaven grade tier 7. Anyone who consumes it will instantly enter the Ruler realm.] ¡°Picking up treasures at random¡­ Little girl, I really like you.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. Chapter 664 - 664 Fallen Dragon Sect 664 Fallen Dragon Sect ¡°Are they very precious? I just feel that they¡¯re something good. What are they?¡± Qilin asked Lin Mo via voice transmission. She did not expect to find two treasures as soon as she entered the city. She was so lucky. ¡°They¡¯re equivalent to two heaven-grade tier 2 or 3 divine medicines.¡± Lin Mo ruffled Qilin¡¯s hair and asked the stall owner for the price. He agreed to buy them after that. The two of them left quickly to avoid anyone finding out that they had just obtained treasures. ¡°He paid so quickly?¡± The woman was puzzled. She looked at the ancient objects she had laid out, but she could not figure out what they were. ¡°It¡¯s a seed. It¡¯ll take at least 100 years for it to mature. There¡¯s no time to cultivate it.¡± Qilin was immediately depressed. Although the seed could grow to heaven-grade tier 7 at most, it needed to be taken care of, which was too much of a waste of time. ¡°There¡¯s no auction here. If I want to auction it, do I need to gather people on my own¡­?¡± Qilin was still grumbling, whereas Lin Mo had gotten the information he wanted. The opening time of the ancient battlefield was not fixed. People were all working hard to find treasures and had no time to set up trade unions. ¡°That¡¯s too much of a loss. Why don¡¯t we set up a stall and exchange it for divine medicine or something?¡± Qilin asked. Of course, the most important thing was the recipe for the Emerald Dragon Carp. It would be great if she could get it. ¡°Take these and exchange them for divine medicines. At the same time, see if you can pick up any more treasures.¡± Lin Mo handed Qilin a storage bag, which contained some spirit stones, magic tools, and cultivation techniques that he could not use. These were all from enemies he had killed before, and most of them were half a step into the heaven grade. There was no auction around, and Lin Mo could not be bothered to hold one, so he might as well exchange those items. ¡°Everyone, I have some treasures that I¡¯m planning to auction off. If you¡¯re interested, please come and support me.¡± Since there was no auction, Lin Mo could only find an empty shop and call for people to auction the items off. The Nine Dazzling Stone, the seed of the Spirit King Fruit Tree, a few earth-grade tier 9 elixirs, and a heaven-grade tier 1 divine medicine. These were all Lin Mo had at the moment. In addition, he had a huge water tank with a Dragon-patterned Carp in it. ¡°The golden patterns emit golden light, and it looks like a dragon. This is a Dragon-patterned Carp. Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re so lucky.¡± Someone praised and came over. The Dragon-patterned Carp could double medicinal effects when boiled with divine medicine. Soon, Lin Mo¡¯s stall was filled with people who were interested in the treasures. ¡°Where did this brat come from? How dare he auction things off here? Doesn¡¯t he know that this is the territory of the Fallen Dragon Sect?¡± Suddenly, a group of people came from the front. They pushed the crowd aside and looked at Lin Mo with cold eyes. ¡°Senior Brother, that¡¯s a Dragon-patterned Carp. There¡¯s also the divine medicine, the Falling Moon Herb.¡± A few of them arrived and saw the treasures on Lin Mo¡¯s stall. When they saw the Dragon-patterned Carp and the divine medicine, their eyes lit up. ¡°Are you here to find trouble?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s gaze turned cold. Sure enough, no matter where Lin Mo was, as long as there were treasures, he would attract attention. Those who thought they were strong would probably snatch them by force¡­ ¡°Kid, watch your attitude. This city has been occupied by the Fallen Dragon Sect.¡± A young man said arrogantly. As he spoke, he reached out to take a spirit fruit on the table. ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± A sword light flickered, and the young man screamed as blood spurted out from his broken wrist. Everyone was shocked as they looked at Lin Mo in shock. They had just felt a wave of Sword Qi. Before anyone could react, the young man¡¯s palm was cut off. At this moment, he was still screaming in pain. Lin Mo rubbed his ears impatiently and said, ¡°How short-sighted. Since you¡¯re here to find trouble, then die.¡± He put away the treasures on the table, and a majestic Sword Qi appeared on his body. Lin Mo did not know where the so-called Fallen Dragon Sect was, but he knew that if he did not use extreme measures, he would not be able to conduct the auction normally. The Yin Yang Dao Laws appeared. Spiritual Qi gathered and formed a black and white sword in his hand. There were a total of nine people from the other party, and one of them had his palm crippled by Lin Mo. He was the weakest person present. A battle broke out, but the aftermath of the spiritual Qi was blocked by the people nearby, so it did not cause much damage. Even so, Lin Mo¡¯s methods also made everyone¡¯s expression change. There were nine people from the Fallen Dragon Sect, and the strongest one was at the fifth level of the Almighty realm. The person could be considered a genius. Despite that, Lin Mo was still able to dodge his opponents, and they could not even touch him. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere. The young man whose hand had been crippled by Lin Mo at the beginning was caught off guard, and Lin Mo seized the opportunity to severely injure him on the spot. ¡°How dare you look down on the Fallen Dragon Sect? You must be tired of living.¡± The most powerful young man from the Fallen Dragon Sect roared and used his most powerful martial arts technique. A golden chain was flung out, and it turned into a Water Dragon that wrapped around Lin Mo. In an instant, the chain retracted, and the roar of a Water Dragon could be heard. A huge force was transmitted, wanting to strangle Lin Mo to death. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body glowed with a golden light, and the power of extreme Yang burst forth. A pair of wings appeared on his back. The white wings had black spots of light on them, and they seemed to be a fusion of Yin and Yang. The wings spread and broke the chain in a moment. Sword Qi swirled around the wings, which flapped again and cut the chain into pieces. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Several people from the Fallen Dragon Sect screamed miserably as they were injured by the Sword Qi, especially the one who had activated the chain. His magic tool was destroyed. He had suffered a backlash, and his combat power had been reduced. Everyone present was shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was truly terrifying and far exceeded their own. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to kill you, but since you insist on seeking death, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish,¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He had shown mercy and defeated them without killing them. However, these people were setting up a formation and taking out nine formation banners that were connected. They wanted to seize him. ¡°Die.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and did not care at all. He used his fingers as a sword, and a bright Sword Qi burst out, shocking the world. The people from the Fallen Dragon Sect were unwilling to give up. They activated their formation and wanted to fight to the death, but they were no match for the Sword Qi. ¡°Pfft!¡± As the sword light slashed down, the barrier that the surrounding people had set up together was broken. The Sword Qi soared into the sky, and the entire city shook. At this moment, the place was as bright as day. Under the divine light of the Sword Qi, none of the people from the Fallen Dragon Sect were left behind. ¡°This is the law of the Great Dao of Yin Yang. And those wings are the Kun Peng¡¯s technique.¡± The surrounding people were shocked and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. On the street, Lin Mo stood calmly in midair. In his hands were nine interspatial rings. They were the items left behind by the Fallen Dragon Sect. He had held back at the last moment, or else these storage rings would have been destroyed by the Sword Qi. ¡°Hey, this is¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned as he checked the items inside. Lin Mo took out a wordless scroll and kept it in the system space. [A precious herbal dish from ancient times, the Emerald Dragon Carp.] The system¡¯s voice rang out, and Lin Mo was momentarily at a loss for words. Qilin¡¯s luck was too ridiculous. It was as if someone sent a pillow over when he was drowsy. Lin Mo had wanted to auction the Dragon-patterned Carp. After all, without the recipe for the Emerald Dragon Carp, he would not know what ingredients were needed and would not be able to make it. Now, it seemed that there was no need to auction the Dragon-patterned Carp. ¡°The troublesome fellas have been dealt with. The auction will begin. If you¡¯re interested, please bid.¡± Chapter 665 - 665 Long Ginseng Fruit 665 Long Ginseng Fruit Lin Mo waved his hand and took out the few treasures from before. Other than that, there were also some earth-grade tier 9 elixirs among his spoils. There were even three of them that were rare treasures that would definitely advance to divine medicines in the future. ¡°The first item is an earth-grade tier 9 Dark Spirit Fruit. It grows in a dark place and has a strong Yin Qi. The starting price is three million high-grade spirit stones.¡± The Dark Spirit Fruit was not very precious, so its price was not high. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 3.1 million.¡± ¡°3.3 million.¡± Although it was not valuable, there were still two or three people bidding for it. Even so, the price was a little low. In the end, after more than ten rounds of bidding, the price of the Dark Spirit Fruit was raised to 4.5 million. ¡°4.5 million going thrice. Sold¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and announced the result of the auction. He then completed the transaction with the young man who had bid for it. This crude auction method was Lin Mo¡¯s last resort. He had no choice as he was conducting an auction on the street¡­ [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Dark Spirit Fruit, an earth-grade tier 9 spirit fruit.] [Successfully triggered an 8,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 2 divine fruit, the Phantom Heart Fruit.] The returned treasure was still inclined to a dark fruit. Qilin obviously could not eat it. The Phantom Heart Fruit¡¯s Yin Qi was too strong, so it would not be of much use to her. Normally, Lin Mo would not care about the medicinal effects of elixirs and divine medicines. After all, the energy he needed for cultivation would be devoured by the God Devouring Body. ¡°The second item is an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, the Ghost Baby Flower. It also contains Yin Qi. The starting price is 3.3 million high spirit stones.¡± As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, someone started bidding. It was the same three people who had bid earlier. It seemed that among the over 30 people present, only three of them were inclined toward the Yin attribute. ¡°There aren¡¯t many people, so there aren¡¯t many people bidding¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed, but this was good too. If he sold the items at a loss, the system would give him higher rebates. ¡°4.8 million, sold. Congratulations, lady.¡± Three minutes later, Lin Mo clapped his hands and announced the result of the auction. A lady in a black dress walked up and took out spirit stones to complete the transaction with Lin Mo. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Ghost Baby Flower, an earth-grade tier 9 elixir.] [Successfully triggered a 7,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 2 divine medicine, the Yin Spirit Treasure Ghost.] After gaining a divine medicine, Lin Mo smiled in satisfaction and continued to host the auction. He sold all the earth-grade tier 9 elixirs he had. Despite that, as there were only over 30 people who supported him, the competition was not very high. Furthermore, everyone present was a genius, so they would not spend money on useless treasures for no reason. As a result, Lin Mo did not earn many spirit stones from the auction. However, this was just what other people thought. In fact, Lin Mo was overjoyed and could not wait for this situation to continue. Within ten minutes, Lin Mo had obtained five divine medicines and nearly 20 million high-grade spirit stones. This was a considerable amount of income, and he was very satisfied. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a rare treasure. Although it¡¯s still of earth-grade tier 9, it can definitely be cultivated into a divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out the next item. A white bone appeared in his hand, and its fragrance filled the air, intoxicating some people. It looked like a piece of bone, but it was a spirit fruit. ¡°The Bone Refining Fruit is usually grown on the bones of a powerful powerhouse. Its function is to refine the bones of one¡¯s physical body. ¡°For those who cultivate body refinement techniques, this is a rare treasure. ¡°The starting price is 10 million high-grade spirit stones.¡± Lin Mo announced the starting price after he finished speaking. This was a rare treasure that could definitely advance to a divine medicine. Then, its price would be much higher than a normal earth-grade tier 9 elixir. This was also the case for its medicinal effects. After all, it had the foundation to advance to a divine medicine, so it could not be weak. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 12 million.¡± As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, someone else made a bid. Not only that person but more than a dozen people made a bid. Everyone present was a genius and had a certain status in the various forces. Thus, they also knew what they had to do to maximize their cultivation and battle prowess. That was to improve the strength of the body. Only a strong body could bear more spiritual Qi. ¡°15 million.¡± ¡°16 million.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had earned quite a lot of spirit stones this time. After all, with so many people fighting for it, they had raised the price to 20 million in just two minutes. From the looks of it, the price was still rising and would not stop soon. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, fellow Daoist.¡± The bidding continued for three minutes. In the end, the Bone Refining Fruit was bought by a genius at the price of 33 million. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Bone Refining Fruit, an earth-grade tier 9 spirit fruit.] [Successfully triggered a 3,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining a heaven-grade tier 2 divine fruit, the Long Ginseng Fruit. This time, he had obtained a fruit that contained extreme life force. It was extremely rich, and its effect was to temper one¡¯s body. Although it contained such a dense life force, its purpose was to use the energy to attack one¡¯s physical body. If one could absorb it, one¡¯s body¡¯s strength would increase again and become even more powerful. ¡°The next auction item is the Nine Dazzling Stone, a rare treasure of the world. When you refine a magic tool, you can add it to the tool, and it can greatly improve the tool¡¯s quality.¡± Lin Mo took out an ordinary-looking stone with some fiery red patterns on it. When the people saw this, they could not help but be stunned and looked puzzled. ¡°Sir Lin Mo, this isn¡¯t the Nine Dazzling Stone, right? The color and aura don¡¯t match,¡± someone gathered his courage and asked. They could also tell that Lin Mo was not a devil who would kill without blinking an eye. As long as they did not provoke him, it did not matter if they questioned him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, watch carefully.¡± Lin Mo smiled. If these people had so easily recognized this as a Nine Dazzling Stone, then he would not have picked it up so easily upon arriving in the city. Lin Mo raised his hand and shot out a golden spiritual Qi. The powerful force hit the fiery red patterns on the stone and burst into strong flames. A powerful aura bloomed, and the people retreated in shock. ¡°How could this be¡­?¡± A woman¡¯s cry was heard. Her breathing gradually became heavy, and her face was full of regret and heartache. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Someone asked in concern. ¡°I sold that Nine Dazzling Stone with a half-divine medicine¡­¡± The woman¡¯s words caused an uproar among the crowd. At the same time, they looked at her with sympathy. No one would feel good about mistakenly selling a precious treasure as trash. They could imagine that if the person on the stage was not Lin Mo, who was ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank, but someone else, the woman would probably snatch the stone back directly. After all, the rules in this place were all set by the strong¡­ ¡°The starting price for the Nine Dazzling Stones is 60 million high-grade spirit stones.¡± After a brief introduction, Lin Mo announced the start of the auction. After being burned by the flame, the stone was completely shining with its own brilliance. Nine fire dragons were circling around it. Chapter 666 - 666 Swords Drawn 666 Swords Drawn Some people looked at the Nine Dazzling Stone with deep gazes. It was said that the Nine Dazzling Stone could even be used to refine celestial tools. Even if it was not a necessary material, it was still extremely extraordinary. After all, it was just a divine material for forging. It was extremely rare for it to have such value. ¡°I¡¯ll pay 70 million. I want to buy it back.¡± The first to speak was the woman. She was also from a large sect and had extraordinary talent. She was also extremely generous, increasing the bid by 10 million in one go, shocking many people. ¡°71 million.¡± ¡°73 million.¡± However, not everyone was stunned. There were still some people with extraordinary origins who needed the Nine Dazzling Stone. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a heaven-grade tier 2 divine fruit.¡± ¡°7,000 high-grade spirit stones, plus a supreme-grade spirit stone prototype.¡± At this moment, there were still five people bidding on the street, each one higher than the last. Even so, at this point, they would not increase the price any further. After all, they also needed to cultivate. Treasures were mentioned one after another, attracting the attention of countless people. ¡°I¡¯ll give you a heaven-grade tier 3 divine pill. It can increase the cultivation base of an Almighty powerhouse by three levels without any damage.¡± In the distance, a young man in luxurious clothes walked over, surrounded by a group of people. His bid was also high, instantly suppressing everyone else. To refine a heaven-grade tier 3 divine pill, one would need a heaven-grade tier 3 divine medicine and many other supplementary spirit medicines. The value of this divine pill had exceeded the value of the Nine Dazzling Stone. It was not worth it to offer more items. ¡°You¡¯re offering the Spirit Platform Pill, right? I¡¯ll offer one as well, plus five million high-grade spirit stones.¡± The woman was still making her final struggle. The Nine Dazzling Stone was incomparably precious, and she was quite annoyed that it had been taken away from her. ¡°You don¡¯t know how to appreciate kindness. How dare you compete with Young Master Tang¡¯s offer?!¡± A few guards walked over and rudely pushed away the passersby, clearing a path. ¡°This is an auction. Even though you¡¯re picking up scraps, there are still rules. Please follow them.¡± Lin Mo said coldly. He had to get the heaven-grade tier 3 divine pill today. That way, he would make a huge profit in the next auction. Nonetheless, he did not care who the other party was. If they dared to cause trouble, he would immediately suppress them. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll let her have it. In any case. it¡¯ll be mine sooner or later¡­¡± The young man was in the center of the crowd. He waved his hand indifferently, but his words made the woman¡¯s face turn ugly. He was too arrogant to say something like that so openly. ¡°Seeing that I picked up this Nine Dazzling Stone from you, if you¡¯re not his match, you can stay here, and I¡¯ll take you away later.¡± Lin Mo said to the woman after he took the heaven-grade tier 3 spirit pill and 5 million high-grade spirit stones. ¡°Many thanks¡­¡± The woman hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not choose to leave and stayed where she was. Compared to the arrogant Young Master Tang, she was more willing to trust Lin Mo. [Congratulations for completing the auction. As the buyer has a valuable treasure on her, she has been targeted. Please maintain the reputation of the auction and help her get out of her predicament. ] [Upon completion, you¡¯ll receive the Dragon Soul, a divine material.] The system¡¯s voice was heard. Lin Mo had just agreed to help the other party when the system issued him a mission. Moreover, the Dragon Soul was the main material for making a heaven-grade tier 7 magic tool. It was a pity that Lin Mo never had the time to learn about weapon refinement even though he had a legacy. Although it was not a burden to have more skills, he did not have any free time. ¡°I¡¯ll find someone to help me refine it in the future¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Perhaps he could give the legacy to someone else. Despite that, it seemed that he did not know many people. Among the people he was close to, not many of them liked to forge¡­ ¡°The last auction item is the seed of a heaven-grade tier 2 divine tree, the Spirit King Fruit Tree. Lin Mo had also bought this from the woman. He took it out in advance and did not continue to agitate her. The emerald green seed attracted many people the moment it appeared. This time, no one was bidding. Everyone was looking at Young Master Tang in the center. ¡°Fellow Daoist Lin Mo, that man is called Tang Chen. He¡¯s from Wen State and is ranked 2,376 on the Hidden Dragon Rank. ¡°His ranking might be low, but it¡¯s because the ranking isn¡¯t accurate at all.¡± A voice was transmitted to Lin Mo¡¯s ears, informing him of a piece of news. The woman¡¯s name was Song Lianxue, and she came from Snow Valley of Snow State. Although she was not the strongest, she was not weak either. Snow State and Wen State were neighbors, so she knew a lot. Besides, the ranking on the Hidden Dragon Rank was not accurate. The top 20 might be worthy, but the people below were not weak either. Some of them had yet to show their talent, while others were hiding their true strength. Some were too lazy to compete and felt that it was enough to enter the top 3,000. As a result, there were many unknown geniuses mixed on the ancient battlefield. They were all terrifyingly strong, no weaker than the top 10 of the Hidden Dragon Rank. ¡°I know. Thanks for the reminder.¡± The auction continued. The seed of the Spirit King Fruit was an extremely precious cultivation resource for some large sects. After successfully cultivating it, it would produce more than 20 fruits each time. If it were to appear in the outside world, it would probably cause a sensation. ¡°There¡¯s no need to fight. I¡¯m offering a Spirit Platform Pill. Is there anyone who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo did not even state the starting price, and yet Tang Chen had started bidding. There were a few people who wanted to bid, but they chose to remain silent after some hesitation. ¡°Is there no one else? Alright.¡± After announcing the result of the auction, Lin Mo held the seed of the Spirit King Fruit Tree in his hand and looked at Tang Chen, who was in the center of the crowd. ¡°Are you worried that I won¡¯t pay up?¡± Tang Chen asked angrily. ¡°Of course not. Please hold your auction item.¡± Lin Mo smiled and handed over the seed of the Spirit King Fruit Tree. ¡°You¡¯re tactful.¡± Tang Chen took it, and the smugness on his face became more obvious. Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s reaction, even the guards beside Tang Chen laughed. All of them looked at Lin Mo sarcastically as if they were looking at a clown. ¡°Since you received the goods, please pay up¡­¡± Lin Mo resisted the urge to make a move and asked Tang Chen to pay. He had no choice. The system had not determined that the auction was a success, and the rebate had not been given. ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± Tang Chen looked at Lin Mo with a mocking expression. ¡°Swish!¡± Seeing this, the surrounding people all made way, not daring to get close. They could all feel that a great battle was about to break out. Furthermore, it would be a battle between the Hidden Dragon Rank¡¯s geniuses, so it would definitely be very exciting. ¡°If you don¡¯t pay up, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to leave.¡± A sweet voice came from behind. Qilin, who had been shopping for elixirs in the city, had returned. One after the other, Lin Mo and Qilin fixed their gazes on Tang Chen. Being locked on by the two at the same time, the pressure on Tang Chen suddenly increased, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He looked at Qilin fearfully, then at Lin Mo. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m just joking. You two won¡¯t mind, right?¡± With a chuckle, his index finger glowed, and he took out a divine pill from his interspatial ring. It was shining with golden light. Just like Song Lianxue¡¯s, it was a rare divine pill. That said, Lin Mo would not let Qilin consume a divine pill that could directly increase one¡¯s cultivation level. Chapter 667 - 667 Enemies From Multiple Sides 667 Enemies From Multiple Sides Although the introduction said that the divine pill would not damage one¡¯s foundation, it was better not to rely on spirit pills to increase one¡¯s realm in the beginning. [Congratulations for successfully auctioning the seed of a heaven-grade tier 2 Spirit King Fruit Tree. [Successfully triggered a 7,000-fold auction rebate.] [Congratulations on obtaining the sapling of a heaven-grade tier 4 Spirit King Fruit Tree.] After obtaining the divine pill, the system determined that the auction had been completed. The reward also appeared in the system space. Nonetheless, the treasure Lin Mo received was still a seedling, and he had no interest in nurturing it. If he was in the Southern Continent, he might have handed it over to the Bai clan. Now, he had to find a chance to exchange it for something else¡­ ¡°Have you found the recipe for the medicinal Emerald Dragon Carp?¡± Qilin walked in front of Lin Mo. The moment she arrived, she was concerned about the Emerald Dragon Carp. After all, she had been craving it for a long time. After knowing about the delicious food, she had been wanting to eat it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve got it. The medicinal herbs aren¡¯t precious. I can gather them.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a Long Ginseng Fruit. He handed it to Qilin, who happily took it and took a bite. ¡°It¡¯s so sweet. What kind of divine fruit is this?¡± Qilin was satisfied. ¡°You¡¯re waiting for someone?¡± At this moment, Lin Mo looked at Tang Chen. He had not left and was waiting there. The people around him were also on guard, wary of Lin Mo and Qilin. ¡°Tang Chen is the second young master of the Tang clan. He¡¯s waiting for his brother to make a move on you.¡± Song Lianxue spoke up at this moment, urging Lin Mo to leave quickly. With two Hidden Dragon Rank geniuses and so many people from the Tang clan, they were going to take down Lin Mo, Qilin, and Song Lianxue in one fell swoop. ¡°Song Lianxue, they¡¯re just two rogue cultivators. Are you going to gang up with them?¡± Tang Chen did not deny it. Instead, he was curious why Song Lianxue was standing with Lin Mo. ¡°Watch your words, or I¡¯ll cut your tongue out.¡± Qilin said coldly. The person in front of her had provoked her time and time again. The people around her did not even bother to hide the way they were looking at her. She had long been impatient. If not for the fact that Lin Mo had not asked her to make a move, she would have done so long ago. Even though she looked like a young girl, the way she was eating the Long Ginseng Fruit was a little cute. However, she was a demonic beast, so she was ruthless and ferocious deep down. ¡°Did they notice us? But it¡¯s a little too late.¡± At this moment, there were more than 100 people in the sky above the city. Every one of them had a powerful aura and could not be underestimated. ¡°An army?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. It had been a while since he had felt the fighting spirit of an army. He was also curious about the combat power of an army formed from powerhouses in the Immortal Foundation realm. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that the conditions to enter the ancient battlefield are harsh. The army has been scattered, and less than 200 of them have entered¡­ A young man walked up from the front of the army. He shook his head regretfully and looked at Lin Mo and Qilin with greed. ¡°Even so, the fighting spirit of this army of fewer than 200 people is enough to crush you all¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the sky roared. Their fighting will gathered and formed a dragon in front of them. ¡°You dare to be so arrogant with just this bit of strength?¡± Qilin asked angrily. She ate the last of the Long Ginseng Fruit in her hand and soared into the sky. Purple light flickered behind her, and Qilin patterns appeared. Her delicate body was covered in purple-gold scales, forming a set of armor. The Fighting Will Water Dragon went berserk as it fought with Qilin, creating a huge commotion. ¡°As expected of a divine beast. Her combat strength is terrifying¡­¡± Below, Tang Chen was drooling, full of desire for Qilin¡¯s techniques. ¡°Compared to this, you, the seventh-ranked genius on the Hidden Dragon List, disappoint me a little.¡± Others might not be able to sense it, but Tang Chen could clearly sense that Lin Mo was only at the second level of the Almighty realm. Such a cultivation level had become much lower than that of some geniuses who entered the battlefield. After all, in order to enter the ancient battlefield, many people had accumulated their strength for a long time. Under the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, their realms improved rapidly. Some of them had even reached the seventh level and above. It was hard to imagine how long they had been suppressing it. ¡°The sixth level of the Almighty realm. If this is where your confidence comes from, then I¡¯m quite disappointed.¡± The other party was all disciples of the Tang clan. At this time, they were scattered and wanted to besiege Lin Mo and Qilin. Their battle strategy was simple. Tang Chen¡¯s big brother would lead the army to fight against the divine beast Qilin, an Almighty powerhouse of the fifth level. As for Tang Chen, he would lead his men to attack Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo could be easily bullied based on his level¡­ ¡°Hurry up and attack. I¡¯ll help you block these people. The Tang clan has many collaterals, so they should have more helpers.¡± Song Lianxue walked up and told Lin Mo to quickly kill his way out and wait for Qilin to escape. After all, in their lineup, Qilin¡¯s combat power seemed to be stronger. Nonetheless, she was a little late. Another group of people came from afar, and several of them were very talented. Other than that, there were also other living creatures such as sea demons, divine birds, and land beasts. Even the weakest of them was an Almighty powerhouse of the fourth level. Lin Mo was not worried at all. Instead, he looked at the divine birds and demonic beasts and nodded in satisfaction. These demonic beasts were the cream of the crop, and their bloodlines were very rich. If they were made into medicinal cuisines, they would be very nourishing. A huge lizard among them was the most eye-catching. It had an organ similar to a cockscomb on its head. In addition, there was also a dark green python. It was two meters wide and 100 meters long, and its scales reflected a lustrous luster. ¡°Lin Mo the God Devouring Body, right? Hand over the Kun Peng¡¯s arts, and I¡¯ll spare your life.¡± On the other side, Tang Chen laughed maliciously and pointed at Lin Mo, thinking that the outcome was set. ¡°Fire Lizard. The cockscomb on its head nourishes pure Yang. It is comparable to a divine pill. If consumed with divine medicine, the effect will be even greater. ¡°Bluish-green Snake, the king of snakes. Its body is extremely poisonous, and it is cold by nature. It¡¯ll be a good idea to make a pot of snake soup with it¡­¡± Lin Mo commented, and his words shocked everyone present. There were still many living beings in the city who were watching the show. They could not help but be shocked when they heard Lin Mo¡¯s words. ¡®Is he the human¡¯s God Devouring Body? He¡¯s just an Almighty being of the second level. How dare he be so arrogant? Does he have a trump card?¡¯ ¡°Hmph, you don¡¯t know how to appreciate my kindness. The two of you, join forces and take him down. We¡¯ll split the profits equally.¡± Tang Chen sneered. With a wave of his hand, many living beings behind him rushed forward. The rest of the living beings also moved and attacked together. A divine bird howled into the sky, scattering down large golden feathers that turned into sharp blades. They descended from the sky and attacked Lin Mo. ¡°Clang!¡± The vibration of a sword could be heard. Before Lin Mo could make a move, Song Lianxue had made the first move. She pointed her sword at the sky, and the Sword Qi she released made the world hum, blocking the attack of the divine bird. ¡°I¡¯m not strong enough. I can only block one attack¡­¡± Song Lianxue¡¯s face was full of regret. After all, she could only be considered a genius and was not ranked on the Hidden Dragon Rank. Dealing with one divine bird was her limit. This little help was insignificant for Lin Mo. However, she did not need to do anything at this moment. The whole city fell into silence. It was as if time had stopped, and everyone was dumbfounded. ¡°Pfft!¡± Lin Mo formed a sword with his fingers and pointed to the sky. His body emitted a bright sword light. Streams of Sword Qi shot out from his fingers. They were as fast as lightning, and all of them stabbed the divine bird in the sky. Especially the last one, the sword light flickered and transformed into a sharp golden sword. It flew at extreme speed and killed the divine bird¡¯s soul. The divine bird¡¯s body was covered in blood and flesh as it was pierced through by the Sword Qi. It fell to the ground, causing dust to rise and the whole place to fall silent. Chapter 668 - 668 A One 668 A One-Sided Massacre This scene shocked Tang Chen and the others, especially the Fire Lizard and the Bluish-green Snake. They had been disdainful of Lin Mo, who had a weak cultivation base. That was why they did not try to save their subordinates. Now, they had to take him seriously. ¡°Tang Chen, let your people set up a formation. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to make them stay.¡± The Bluish-green Snake¡¯s tone became serious. It also ordered its subordinates to retreat to avoid unnecessary casualties. ¡°A formation isn¡¯t of much use to me¡­¡± Lin Mo did not hesitate and attacked immediately. At the same time, he told Song Lianxue to watch from the side. ¡°Thank you for your help. If you can get out of here today, I can inform you of a treasure place.¡± Song Lianxue retreated and watched the battle from the back. Lin Mo had taken care of a powerhouse with one strike, so she did not need to do anything. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and kill him.¡± The Fire Lizard said. It was rather afraid of Lin Mo and charged forward together with the Bluish-green Snake. At the same time, Tang Chen was also preparing his martial arts behind. At the same time, the creatures behind also attacked. The universe¡¯s spiritual Qi was turbulent as all kinds of martial arts were performed. The entire city seemed like it would be destroyed in the next moment. ¡°Kill!¡± The Fire Lizard and the Bluish-green Snake arrived. Flames and poisonous mist attacked at the same time. Due to their exquisite control, their attacks did not interfere with each other. Lin Mo waved his hand and let out an angry roar. The Sword Qi around him exploded, and at this moment, he was as bright as the sun. The golden feathers exploded like sharp swords. This was the extreme Yang part of the Kun Peng¡¯s technique. If he used this to activate Sword Qi, the explosive power would be unimaginable. ¡°Pfft!¡± Almost in an instant, the attacks from both sides collided. The Fire Lizard and the Bluish-green Snake suffered injuries of varying degrees. The other living beings were not only injured, but their bodies were also pierced by the Sword Qi, and even their souls could not escape. It was a massacre. More than a dozen people were pierced by the Sword Qi, but Lin Mo did not seem to be affected at all. In fact, he did not even use up any energy. ¡°You want to set up a formation? What a joke. Abyssal Devouring.¡± A black ripple spread from Lin Mo¡¯s body, forming a black hole that covered a radius of several kilometers. With such a range, the Abyssal Devouring was useless against Tang Chen and the others. Despite that, the people who were setting up the formation suffered. The inscribed formation patterns were devoured by the power and completely dissipated. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Lin Mo was like a sharp sword, and the golden wings behind him extended. His speed was as fast as the wind, too fast to imagine. The golden feathers turned into a sharp sword, piercing through many martial arts. Lin Mo soon arrived in front of Tang Chen. ¡°Clang.¡± Tang Chen¡¯s expression changed greatly. A formation banner appeared in his hand, and he activated the formation that had not been completely set up. The formation¡¯s energy gathered to form a huge hand that slapped Lin Mo. At the same time, Tang Chen struck out with his palm, shattering the sharp sword. His palm was swift and agile as it came flying toward Lin Mo¡¯s face. Tang Chen¡¯s combat power was not weak. No wonder he could be on the Hidden Dragon Rank. ¡°That¡¯s not right. Your performance has disappointed me¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. Although Tang Chen was far more talented than ordinary geniuses, he was far from what Song Lianxue had mentioned¡­ ¡°Why are you being so arrogant? All of you, attack him together. We¡¯ll use our numbers to crush him,¡± Tang Chen said angrily. In an instant, many living beings attacked from all directions. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo stood still as the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind him, and the Mismatched Yin Yang was activated. With one strike, the Yin and Yang Qi exploded, blowing up all the living beings nearby on the spot. Not even their souls could escape. ¡°Crack.¡± The Bluish-green Snake let out a blood-curdling screech as its skull was crushed by Lin Mo¡¯s punch. The golden feathers pierced through its skull and destroyed its soul. The Fire Lizard wanted to launch a sneak attack, but it was cut in half by the flapping of the wings. This was a one-sided massacre, and it was not just on Lin Mo¡¯s side. It was the same for Qilin on the other side. The battle formation had long been broken by her, and the ferocity in her bones had been stimulated. Half of the people had been slaughtered. ¡°Right¡­ There are countless geniuses in the 3,000 states of the Northern Continent, but only a few of them can reach the top¡­¡± Lin Mo understood and shook his head in disappointment. Even so, this was normal. Among the few powerful physiques of the human race, he had the God Devouring Body, and he had even seen Xia You¡¯s Heavenly Destiny Body before. These were all extremely heaven-defying physiques. If an ordinary person wanted to compare themselves to them, they would need to put in more than ten times the effort. Such people were extremely rare, so how could there be 3,000 of them¡­? Perhaps Song Lianxue was right¡ªthe rankings did not mean everything, and some people behind were hiding their true strength. Nonetheless, people like Tang Chen were obviously not among them. ¡°This is boring. Let¡¯s end this earlier¡­¡± Lin Mo did not hold back anymore. He exchanged blows with Tang Chen, and in less than 20 moves, he had beheaded his opponent. On the other side, Qilin had also finished her battle and killed the last person with a lingering desire. She flew back and saw that Lin Mo had let many people go. It was only then that the fierceness in her eyes disappeared, and she smiled sweetly at Lin Mo. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me you wanted to show mercy?¡± Seeing this scene, the hearts of the people in this small city trembled. The scene of Qilin slaughtering hundreds of people was still vivid in their minds. No one had expected that a person with such a sweet smile on her face would have such a strong killing intent. ¡°I felt like I was bullying the weak when I killed them¡­¡± Lin Mo spread out his hands and caressed Qilin¡¯s head to comfort her. ¡°If you feel that the other party won¡¯t be a threat to you in the future, you have to learn to judge for yourself whether to kill or let him go.¡± Lin Mo did not want Qilin to be bloodthirsty, but he did not want Qilin to be too kind either. A person¡¯s heart could only be slowly cultivated¡­ ¡°Okay¡­¡± Qilin obediently agreed and followed beside Lin Mo. However, when she approached Song Lianxue, she still stood up and reminded her. ¡°I heard it. You said that you would tell us a treasure land if we got out of here.¡± After all, Song Lianxue was not using voice transmission. Even though they were quite far apart, Qilin still heard it and was still thinking about it. ¡°I won¡¯t forget it.¡± Song Lianxue chuckled and left with Lin Mo and the others. The treasure land was further away, so the three of them traveled together. In the city behind, many people were envious. How lucky must it be to be able to travel with the Qilin girl and the God Devouring Body? ¡°Treasure land or whatever, that¡¯s not important. Hurry up and make the Emerald Dragon Carp. I¡¯m hungry.¡± On the way, Qilin kept saying that she wanted to have a good meal first. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m also quite interested.¡± Lin Mo smiled and invited Song Lianxue to enjoy it with them. They found an open space and took out a bronze cauldron. They poured the divine spring water into it and lit the Dao Flames. According to the ingredients recorded on the Emerald Dragon Carp, Lin Mo threw in the precious spiritual herbs one by one. What shocked him was that this medicinal cuisine required three stalks of divine medicines. Fortunately, he had some divine medicines left, and Song Lianxue also contributed one and put it into the cauldron. Not long after, Qilin finished handling the Dragon-patterned Carp. She removed the scales, internal organs, and other organs. After placing all of the parts into the cauldron, she activated the Dao Flames to boil them. On the side, Song Lianxue was speechless and also curious. What kind of people were Lin Mo and Qilin? Even if other people obtained a Dragon-patterned Carp and made it into a medicinal cuisine, their main purpose would be to cultivate. However, she could clearly sense that Lin Mo and Qilin were coveting the deliciousness of the Dragon-patterned Carp¡­ ¡°It¡¯s almost cooked, and the fragrance is coming out.¡± In front of the bronze cauldron, Qilin wiped off her saliva. The fragrance spread out and whetted everyone¡¯s appetite. Chapter 669 - 669 Immortal Tree 669 Immortal Tree One dragon-patterned carp was naturally not enough to eat. After all, it was too little. Lin Mo poured out a divine bird from the storage bag at his waist, swiftly shed its feathers, and began to roast it with the Dao Flames. As time passed, the bronze cauldron began to glow and emit a fragrant aroma. If someone who did not know what was going on saw this, they would have thought that this was a pill refinement. The lid of the cauldron was opened, and the meat inside was stewed. The soup was golden yellow, and drinking a mouthful of it immediately made one feel comfortable. ¡°I¡¯m going to start eating.¡± Qilin did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat. The fish meat was smooth and melted in her mouth, leaving a fragrant taste in her mouth¡­ ¡°It tastes really good¡­¡± Song Lianxue took a bite and exclaimed. She had eaten medicinal food before, but this was the first time she had eaten something so delicious¡­ ¡°There¡¯s also the divine bird¡¯s meat. It¡¯s truly an extreme enjoyment¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. He took out a few bottles of wine from his collection, and the three of them began to feast. While he was enjoying the food, he also heard Song Lianxue talk about the treasure land. He also received a shocking piece of news. Song Lianxue had a companion who went to a treasure land when they entered the ancient battlefield. Nonetheless, there was a powerful seal there that they could not break. They could only watch over the treasure. ¡°There might be a treasure in the place that¡¯s been sealed.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. What he lacked the most at the moment were cultivation resources that contained a large amount of the universe¡¯s energy. If there was a treasure inside, he did not want to miss it. ¡°Since you found the treasure land, Qilin and I will contribute, and we¡¯ll split the treasures equally.¡± Lin Mo was not greedy. He asked Song Lianxue to take him there to break the seal. According to Song Lianxue¡¯s estimation, that place should be a medicinal field. Even so, no one knew what was inside. Only by opening the seal would they know. Half a day later, three figures quickly passed through the huge mountains. This place was a ruin with broken walls. Strictly speaking, it could only be considered a ruin. Giant trees towered into the clouds, and birds rested on their trunks. The chirping of birds could be heard from all four directions, and the demonic beasts below were moving about, full of vitality. ¡°Wait, there¡¯s the smell of blood.¡± When they were about to reach their destination, Qilin suddenly stopped. Her sharp nose picked up the strong smell of blood. ¡°Oh no, Mao Zhu¡­¡± Song Lianxue was shocked, and she sped up in worry. Soon, they came to a ruin. The collapsed wall was covered with green vines. Immortal light appeared in the surroundings from time to time, illuminating the entire sky. The sound of the great Dao could be vaguely heard echoing in the air. ¡°There was no battle here¡­¡± Lin Mo observed his surroundings. This place was very shabby, but it was also very ancient. There were no signs of a recent battle. Of course, this did not rule out the possibility that someone had heaven-defying means and could forge the traces of the passage of time¡­ ¡°That scared me. Mao Zhu left a mark and left a long time ago.¡± Song Lianxue patted her chest. Mao Zhu was a rogue cultivator she had met in Snow State. He was extremely talented, and she had always wanted to invite him to join her in the Snow Valley. ¡°I don¡¯t feel any abnormality¡­¡± After observing for a long time, Lin Mo retracted his spiritual power and shook his head. Qilin reacted the same. She did not feel anything unusual, and there was no danger here. ¡°This is strange. The smell of blood has disappeared. There¡¯s a medicinal fragrance instead¡­¡± Suddenly, Qilin sensed something and used her soul power again, but she still found nothing. Nevertheless, she was still sure that she had smelled blood earlier. Although it was very faint, she was not wrong. ¡°Let¡¯s go in and take a look¡­¡± They found a path under the collapsed wall where the green vines were blocking. It should lead to the medicinal field. As they walked in, the fragrance of medicine filled the air as if there was some kind of divine medicine inside. ¡°This is strange. Mao Zhu and I couldn¡¯t even get close to this path¡­¡± Song Lianxue said. When they had just entered, they had clearly felt that there was a seal here. After guarding it for a while and realizing that they could not break it, she left and planned to find help. Now, there was no obstruction here, allowing them to enter freely, which made her feel uneasy. ¡°Guys, look at what this is¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked and pointed ahead. The space there was turbulent, and a strange scene appeared. In the image, a divine tree was rooted. It was incomparably huge and bore no fruit, but it bloomed with nine flowers. At the center of the flowers, there was a drop of liquid that emitted a golden light. It contained an extremely strong vitality. The fragrance spread out, and just by smelling it, Lin Mo felt like he was about to ascend. This was definitely an existence that surpassed heaven grade. Could it be a legendary immortal medicine? ¡°We¡¯re rich! This must be an immortal tree! The golden liquid at each of the flower¡¯s cores is a legendary supreme treasure!¡± Song Lianxue was so excited that her delicate face turned red and her hands trembled. She could not help but walk forward. According to the ancient records in Snow Valley, once a person consumed a sacred item of this level, one would not have any bottleneck when one was still below the Emperor realm¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. Be careful of traps¡­¡± Lin Mo immediately came back to his senses and grabbed Song Lianxue¡¯s wrist, pulling her back. He did not believe that it was so easy to obtain such a legendary sacred object. After all, even divine medicines could be sentient and have their own consciousness. The immortal tree would definitely be even more heaven-defying and have intelligence no weaker than humans. Even if Lin Mo had the auspicious White Qilin with him, he did not believe it would be so easy. Lin Mo woke up Qilin, who was intoxicated by the fragrance. He told her to protect Song Lianxue. Afterward, Lin Mo used his soul power to investigate and did not miss a single corner. In his perception, he did not find the immortal tree, but he found a few formation patterns that were in ruins. That said, the power within the formation patterns still made his heart palpitate. What kind of person could set up such terrifying formation patterns? Fortunately, this formation was broken and had lost its former power. Perhaps it was because he had the auspicious beast by his side, but Lin Mo¡¯s luck was extremely good. He found the loophole in the formation in less than half an hour. This place had rotted, and the formation banners had turned to dust. They had successfully entered the formation, and each of them had a spatial teleportation talisman in hand. If something was off, they would escape without hesitation. They would not be able to withstand any danger here and would be instantly turned into dust. ¡°There¡¯s no other way¡­¡± Halfway through, they found that the front was blocked. There was a formation operating, and the terrifying power made their hearts tremble. Qilin stepped forward and closed her eyes. In just a moment, her face turned pale, and her body staggered, almost falling. ¡°Don¡¯t use that move¡­¡± Lin Mo felt pained as he stuffed a half-divine medicine into her hands. This place was filled with danger, and the side effects of her move were terrifying. It involved karma and would be settled here. ¡°Let¡¯s go this way. I feel like we¡¯re going to pick up a treasure¡­¡± Qilin took a bite of the half-divine medicine and spoke with difficulty. Following the path she pointed out, the three entered smoothly, avoiding the formation patterns and finally arriving at the depths. However, there was still a formation in this place. Although it was broken, it was still terrifying. ¡°It¡¯s blood. Someone has broken into this place. Unfortunately¡­¡± Right ahead, a young man was sitting on his knees. He was motionless, and there was a bloody hole in the middle of his eyebrows. The blood had yet to coagulate, and it was obvious that he had just died. The fact that the other party was able to reach this place meant that he was no ordinary person either. His soul power was powerful enough to avoid the remnants of the formation. Chapter 670 - 670 Immunity Talisman 670 Immunity Talisman ¡°The treasures are right behind the formation. I just have to break it open.¡± Qilin went forward and wanted to use her ability again. This way, she would definitely be able to obtain the treasures inside. Lin Mo quickly stopped her. She had not reached the required realm, so it was best not to change one¡¯s fate again. ¡°What you just used was the Eye of Destiny of the Qilin¡¯s arts, right? it¡¯s a heaven-defying move¡­¡± Song Lianxue asked, looking at Qilin with envy. There was a reason why so many people were pursuing Qilin¡¯s supreme inheritance. ¡°You know about it? Are there records of it in Snow Valley? ¡± Qilin asked with an unfriendly expression. In ancient times, the inheritances of the divine beasts¡¯ techniques were more or less leaked, and they were recorded by many great sects. Snow Valley had a long history. Could it be that they controlled the unparalleled divine abilities of the Qilins? ¡°Of course not. There are only records of some miracles of the ancient Qilin.¡± Song Lianxue waved her hands. At the same time, she took out a talisman and introduced, ¡°This is an Immunity Talisman, but I don¡¯t know how to activate it.¡± The value of this talisman was comparable to the jade seals of the Hidden Dragon Rank. After all, it could also allow one to avoid death once, and at the same time, it would not cause any damage to one¡¯s body. It could be said to be heaven-defying. ¡°Let me see.¡± Lin Mo took it and kept it in the system space. [Immortal-grade treasure, the Immunity Talisman. Anyone below the Supreme Saint realm can activate it with a special mark and use it with their blood essence. When they die, they can be resurrected perfectly, get rid of karma, escape fate, and erase all Qi activities.] The effects were heaven-defying, and it could be considered a peerless treasure. Although Lin Mo was not clear about karma and fate, he could tell from Qilin. She had used it on Lin Mo when he was auctioning off treasures, changing his fate and allowing him to obtain many opportunities. Nonetheless, it was also because of this that Qilin¡¯s essence was damaged, and she almost lost her life. Furthermore, the karma that followed also involved a series of things. While there was good luck, there was also a corresponding danger, and it was very likely that one would lose one¡¯s life¡­ The realms above the Ruler realm were quasi-Saint, Saint, Great Saint, Supreme Saint, quasi-Emperor, and Great Emperor. It was worth noting that immortal-grade treasures could only be controlled by quasi-Emperors for their full powers to be unleashed. Only a quasi-Emperor could make immortal-grade talismans or magic weapons. No matter how heaven-defying Song Lianxue¡¯s luck was, if she could bring this talisman out, even Snow Valley¡¯s master would have to personally come out to welcome her¡­ In other words, the so-called karma and fate, as well as these great Dao rules, could only be involved when one stepped into the quasi-Emperor realm. ¡°Swish!¡± Lin Mo suppressed his excitement and took out the Immunity Talisman. He handed it back to Song Lianxue and said, ¡°Lady Song, this Immunity Talisman of yours is of immortal grade. ¡°And no one knows what¡¯s behind this formation. We might not be able to find anything.¡± Lin Mo did not greedily take the Immunity Talisman and returned it. As for what to choose, it was up to Song Lianxue to decide for herself¡­ ¡°Your luck is too heaven-defying. It¡¯s even more exaggerated than mine¡­¡± Qilin was nonchalant. She could not understand it¡­ ¡°Immortal grade?¡± Song Lianxue was shocked and could not believe it. She remembered that there were rumors about something in the world that allowed one to avoid death. It was probably above heaven-grade tier 5. They remembered that the young master of the Dragon Pavilion had a Death Substitution Talisman, which was made by a Supreme Saint of the Dragon Pavilion. It had reached heaven-grade tier 8 and could bring the dead back to life once. ¡°It¡¯s not the same. Those are just simple protection from death, resurrection, and so on.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and explained the system to her in detail. A perfect resurrection, getting rid of karma, jumping out of fate, wiping away any Qi activities one left in the world. This was similar to the move that Qilin had used before. One could disappear from the world, and it could not be deduced. Even if the other party was a quasi-Emperor, one would not be exposed as long as one was not a Supreme Saint. The other party would think that one was dead. As long as one did not appear in front of the other party, one would have truly escaped death¡­ ¡°Of course, a Great Emperor might be able to sense you. After all, this Immunity Talisman should be of the first or second grade of the immortal grade.¡± With that, Lin Mo handed the choice to Song Lianxue. Should Song Lianxue borrow Qilin¡¯s power to fight to the death, or should she take the Immunity Talisman back to Snow Valley to claim the credit? This was a difficult choice. Lin Mo did not urge Song Lianxue and left with her and Qilin. They walked until they left the nest and sat down on a mountain peak far away from the ruins. Lin Mo then looked at Song Lianxue and asked, ¡°Lady Song, what do you think?¡± Hearing this, Song Lianxue¡¯s face was full of hesitation. Knowing the power of the Immunity Talisman, she did not want to take the risk. As long as she could bring it back, the valley master would definitely take her in as a disciple and pass on profound cultivation techniques of Snow Valley. She would also be given resources. ¡°Sister Song, I suggest you¡­¡± Qilin wanted to persuade Song Lianxue. However, before she could finish her sentence, Lin Mo stopped her. He was not an overbearing person and was not enemies with Song Lianxue, so he would not take the item by force. Of course, the prerequisite was that the people around him did not need the treasure to save their lives¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, do you want to be a genius or a piece of trash?¡± To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, Song Lianxue did not answer his question. Instead, she asked Lin Mo a question. ¡°I want to be the strongest. Otherwise, it¡¯s so annoying to be targeted by people all day.¡± Qilin was the first to answer again. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Mo. Song Lianxue looked at Lin Mo as if waiting for his answer. Seeing this, Lin Mo muttered to himself for a moment before smiling. ¡°You might not believe it, but I was once a good-for-nothing¡­ ¡°The God Devouring Body is a one-in-a-million physique. Once it matures, one will almost be invincible among those of the same rank¡­ ¡°But what if it happens to a rogue cultivator¡­?¡± The corners of Lin Mo¡¯s mouth turned bitter. The rogue cultivators of the Northern Continent would still be fine. They still had a chance to rise. After all, the major sects knew what they were doing¡­ That said, Lin Mo came from the Eastern Continent, a barren land¡­ If not for Bai Luo¡¯s help, the time needed for Lin Mo to break through to the Immortal Foundation realm would have been extended indefinitely. If Lin Mo had not awakened the auction rebate system, his life force would have been devoured by the God Devouring Body when he had just started cultivating and he would have died. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to look back on the past. The feeling of being a genius is to have the opportunity to control your own fate.¡± After saying this, Lin Mo could roughly guess Song Lianxue¡¯s answer. If she brought the Immunity Talisman back to Snow Valley, she would be able to obtain resources, but it would not be much. Her status in Snow Valley did not seem to be high¡­ ¡°Then I¡¯d like to try. If I can get the immortal tree, even if it¡¯s just an ordinary tree, I can still improve my aptitude and become a genius¡­¡± Song Lianxue smiled and handed the Immunity Talisman to Lin Mo again. She chose to believe in Lin Mo and his character. After all, he had told her the value of the Immunity Talisman from the start. ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯ll be counting on you to improve my aptitude and enter the ranks of peerless geniuses¡­¡± This was a huge gamble. She was betting that there would be an immortal tree behind the broken formation and that Lin Mo would keep his promise. If she lost, she would have nothing left¡­ ¡°Qilin, make your move¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. According to the system¡¯s introduction, he formed a special seal on his hand and sacrificed a drop of blood essence. At the same time, he plucked the last Silver Phoenix Fruit, and then took out a Holy Spirit Fruit and two stalks of heaven-grade tier 5 divine medicines. These were the last of his stock, and they could completely make up for the loss of Qilin¡¯s origin¡­ Chapter 671 - 671 The World Tree 671 The World Tree With a layer of purple light around him, Lin Mo entered the ruins alone. He came to the place where the broken formation was once again. Qilin had said that there were treasures behind this place. It must be true. Song Lianxue had gambled everything. If she failed, she probably would not be able to survive in the valley. If a quasi-Saint could see through a person¡¯s lies, then what about a Saint, a Great Saint, or even a Supreme Saint? If one did not have any means, those beings would probably be able to read one¡¯s memories directly. If Song Lianxue could not increase her value after using the Immunity Talisman, she would be dead. ¡°Fate makes fools of people. I hope that she can get what she wishes for¡­¡± Sighing, Lin Mo clenched the Immunity Talisman in his hand tightly. Fate had played a part in this, so he would not be killed so easily. Sure enough, the purple light on his body circulated. When he passed through the broken formation, an inexplicable power flowed through his body. There seemed to be a problem with the broken formation, and it was a little slow to activate. Lin Mo successfully passed through and arrived at a medicinal field¡­ ¡°It smells so good¡­¡± The danger had passed, and there was a strong medicinal fragrance coming from inside. Perhaps due to the obstruction of the broken formation, a large amount of the universe¡¯s energy had accumulated here. There was a tree planted in the medicinal field. It was the immortal tree that they had seen through the space. Nine golden flowers bloomed, and a total of nine drops of golden liquid flowed within them. Rich vitality flowed within. ¡°Immortal tree¡ªthis must be an immortal tree. How high is its grade¡­?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body trembled, unable to hide his excitement. Not to mention the value of this immortal tree, just these nine golden flowers were heaven-defying. He did not dare to delay any longer. He walked up and was about to pick them¡­ ¡°Rumble¡­¡± Right at this moment, a sudden clap of thunder descended and split open the entire ruins in an instant. The so-called formation seemed so small under the Heavenly Thunder. In an instant, heaven and earth rumbled, and the sound of the great Dao reverberated. A towering tree stretched out, its branches and leaves luxuriant. The tree was rooted in the ground, absorbing the nutrients from the endless void. At this moment, it was as if it had transformed into the World Tree, standing tall between heaven and earth. As for the nine golden flowers, they were also hanging at the top as if they were above the sky, far beyond reach. ¡°Hell, it¡¯s so tall¡­¡± Lin Mo cursed. He took advantage of the fact that Qilin¡¯s Eye of Destiny was still active and flew forward. The black and white Hanging Wings spread out, and he flew up. As the wings flapped, the Yin Yang Dao Laws appeared. The Kun Peng Extreme Speed left afterimages in the sky. The laws on the immortal tree appeared and turned into Divine Chains of Order. They fell naturally, but Lin Mo was in great trouble. The Divine Chains of Order were not something he could resist. He would die upon contact with them. ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve flown out of the nine heavens¡­¡± Lin Mo felt the pressure increase sharply. He dodged the Divine Chains of Order and unleashed his speed to the maximum. There was a huge commotion here, and he wanted to take the nine golden flowers away before anyone arrived. Even so, he was still too naive. As he could not get them, his God Devouring Body absorbed the universe¡¯s spiritual Qi like crazy. The Hanging Wings doubled in size again. Lin Mo¡¯s body was surrounded by laws, and he was filled with Yin and Yang. Under the influence of the immortal tree¡¯s laws, Lin Mo transformed into a Kun Peng and mounted to a great height. ¡°It connects heaven and earth. Is this the World Tree? ¡°Our World Tree is in the central region. This should be an ancient World Tree.¡± The entire ancient battlefield trembled as countless people looked up at the sky and exclaimed in shock. ¡°Look, something is crawling on the roots!¡± ¡°It looks like an insect¡­¡± ¡°Nonsense. How can there be bugs on the World Tree?¡± Everyone chimed in and focused their attention on the roots of the World Tree. A Kun Peng was spreading its wings and flying high into the sky. Every time it flapped its wings, it seemed to have flown tens of thousands of kilometers¡­ ¡°What the hell? That¡¯s a Kun Peng¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Kun Peng go extinct¡­?¡± Everyone was shocked. They could not imagine that they had seen the legendary divine Kun Peng. At this point, everyone believed that this was definitely the World Tree. They just did not know if the Kun Peng was formed by laws. ¡°Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± At the foot of the World Tree, Qilin was worried. There was a vertical eye between her eyebrows, which looked quite strange. A faint purple light flickered in her eyes, and a series of profound laws accompanied her. This was the power of the Law of Fate, not something she could control at her level. Even with Lin Mo¡¯s elixirs, she would not be able to last much longer. However, Qilin did not dare to stop casting her spell. Otherwise, Lin Mo¡¯s body would be easily penetrated by the dense Divine Chains of Order. ¡°Have I lost the bet¡­?¡± Not far away, Song Lianxue fell to the ground with a dejected look. Lin Mo might not be able to tell, but she could. The Kun Peng spread its wings. It seemed to be extremely fast and could travel a thousand kilometers in an instant, but it was too small for the World Tree. Qilin could not hold on any longer, whereas Lin Mo remained at the root. They might not even be able to touch the tree trunk before their bodies were cut into pieces by the exuberant Divine Chains of Order¡­ ¡°D*mn it, how far away is it¡­?¡± At the roots of the World Tree, Lin Mo could not help but curse. His spiritual Qi had been exhausted, so he had to consume a half-divine medicine to recover. Despite that, he still felt that he was still far away. Every time he wanted to give up, he felt that the golden flowers were within his reach¡­ ¡°Qilin can¡¯t hold on much longer¡­¡± After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo stopped, not planning to continue. If he continued, the price would be too great. Qilin would be severely injured, and he might even die. This tree gave him a feeling of magnificence. It connected heaven and earth as if it was a world of its own. He felt so small in front of it. ¡°I¡¯ll use other treasures to compensate for Lady Song¡­¡± The Immunity Talisman had been bound to Lin Mo, and he could not return it. He could only use other divine medicines to compensate for Song Lianxue¡¯s loss¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± At this moment, the entire world trembled. Everyone could sense the ancient battlefield shaking violently. The void was unstable, and countless spatial storms erupted. There were even faults in some of the mountain ranges, and below them was an endless abyss. It could be said that the entire ancient battlefield had changed. Countless energies of the universe swept over and were absorbed by the World Tree through the Divine Chains of Order. Everyone could sense that a third of the spiritual Qi in the ancient battlefield had been lost. What a terrifying amount this was. It could probably kill a quasi-Emperor¡­ ¡°It is bearing fruit¡ªthe World Tree has borne fruit¡­¡± Someone was shocked and pointed at the sky. The nine golden flowers had withered at this moment. In their places were nine huge and plump fruits, each of which was as dazzling as the sun. Lin Mo was in unprecedented danger. This was because when these nine fruits appeared, heaven and earth suddenly changed, and apocalyptic Heavenly Thunder appeared outside the area. In the endless starry sky, 3,000 gods and demons appeared, bombarding the World Tree with Supreme Divine Thunder. Lin Mo, who was at the root of the World Tree, was also hit by the aftermath and was annihilated by a terrifying bolt of Heavenly Thunder. ¡°Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± Qilin cried out in pain. The purple light between her eyebrows disappeared, and her vertical eye closed. She coughed out a mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground. ¡°How could this be¡­?¡± Song Lianxue was shocked. How could the powerful Lin Mo be killed just like that? It was too terrifying. On the other hand, the World Tree was not damaged at all when the Divine Thunder struck it¡­ Chapter 672 - 672 3,000 Great Dao 672 3,000 Great Dao ¡°Ouch¡­¡± In the endless void, Lin Mo felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered. That was only the aftermath of the attack of 3,000 gods and demons, but he was annihilated in an instant. Such a terrifying power made his heart palpitate, but at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. With the Immunity Talisman, he did not die¡­ ¡°Where am I?¡± Lin Mo stood up, but he did not know where he was. At this moment, he only felt his entire body ache, and he could not exert any strength. ¡°Is this what the Immunity Talisman introduced? Getting rid of karma, jumping out of fate, and erasing all Qi activities¡­¡± Lin Mo was deep in thought. He could feel that he was floating in the void. He could not control himself and did not know where to go. He just floated around¡­ Time passed, but Lin Mo did not feel it. His soul was exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep the next moment. ¡°Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± He did not know how much time had passed, but he heard someone calling him in a soft voice. Lin Mo tried his best to open his eyes as he endured the fatigue. What he saw was a young girl¡¯s pale face. There was no blood in it, but her face was full of worry. ¡°Little Qilin¡­¡± He opened his mouth and spat out the words with difficulty. He felt that this body was no longer his. It was as if he had slept for a long time, so long that his body could not feel anything¡­ ¡°That¡¯s great. You¡¯re finally awake¡­¡± Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s voice again, Qilin burst into tears. She threw herself onto Lin Mo¡¯s body and wailed. At this moment, she was like a child, crying very sadly. These days, she had been very worried, afraid that this brother who loved her so much would leave her completely. She finally found someone whom she felt close to, but she was going to lose him after having his company for just less than a year. It was hard for her to accept it. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lin Mo sat up and gently stroked Qilin¡¯s cheek, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes. He was very distressed. ¡°Next time, don¡¯t take any more risks. We won¡¯t force it if something doesn¡¯t belong to us¡­¡± Qilin was still crying and begging. This scene made Lin Mo¡¯s heart ache even more. He picked her up and gently patted her back. ¡°Yes, I won¡¯t take any more risks in the future. I won¡¯t force it¡­¡± ¡°Mm¡­¡± The young girl in his arms hummed softly. After calming down, an endless sense of weakness attacked her. By the time Lin Mo came to his senses, Qilin had fallen into a deep sleep. Her breathing was even, and her face was filled with satisfaction. ¡°Hey, this is?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo felt an abnormality in his body. When he looked inside, he was shocked. In his body, two balls of light that were as bright as the sun appeared, and they contained unimaginable power¡­ ¡°These are the fruits of that tree¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s breathing gradually became heavier. This was too unbelievable, and he could not calm down. He tried to urge his soul power to check them out and found that one of the fruits was extremely repulsive to him. It had even shattered his soul power. As for the other one, after coming into contact with it, the light retracted, whereas black and white appeared, mixing together. ¡°This is the Yin Yang Dao Law¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. He wanted to continue probing, but he realized that the fruit was no longer moving. It was no longer paying attention to his soul power. ¡°I¡¯ll try and see if I can keep them in the system space¡­¡± Lin Mo first tried it on the black and white fruit and found that it worked, so he put it in smoothly. As for the other one, there was still no movement. The system space could not collect it. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice could be heard. The introduction shocked Lin Mo so much that he was speechless. [The World Treasure, which is a fruit of the World Tree. It contains the world¡¯s ten supreme laws, the law of Yin and Yang.] [Congratulations on obtaining one of the most powerful treasures in the world. The system space has reached its maximum expansion, and you have received a reward¡ªenlightenment.] A series of information was transmitted into Lin Mo¡¯s mind as the system explained to him. [Before the chaos was formed, heaven and earth were divided into Yin and Yang, and there were 3,000 great Dao¡­] In a daze, Lin Mo¡¯s mind wandered into the great void and saw countless eras. He saw the birth and destruction of each era. [The great Dao is the end of everything, but it is also the beginning¡­] [The thousands of Dao in the heavens, the 3,000 great Dao, and the thousands of small Dao can all be comprehended, achieved, and proven¡­] Lin Mo did not know when he had become intoxicated. He was very entranced and dazed by the story. He also understood what had happened earlier. The World Tree could sense that someone had comprehended the Yin Yang Dao Law, and someone was proficient in the Dao Law of Fate. Thus, it awakened and used the powers of the ancient battlefield to form nine fruits that contained the true meaning of the great Dao. Chaos, fate, reincarnation, creation, life, time, space, destruction, Yin-Yang, order, the ten supreme Dao laws¡­ Lin Law walked on the path of Yin and Yang, while Qilin was born on the path of fate¡­ Therefore, the World Tree sent out two fruits. What a heaven-defying opportunity this was, and it was unimaginable¡­ After understanding all this, Lin Mo thought of something and looked at the black and white fruit. If he could auction it off, what kind of treasure could the system give him in return? [This item is the world¡¯s top treasure. It can¡¯t be auctioned.] Very quickly, the system replied. The world¡¯s top treasures were not allowed to be auctioned at all. Moreover, even if Lin Mo were to auction it off, he reckoned that no one else would be able to afford it, and he might even invite a fatal disaster¡­ Before becoming a quasi-Emperor, he would not be able to expose himself. He would not even be able to reveal himself before he became a Great Emperor. After understanding everything, Lin Mo drew in a trace of Qilin¡¯s power. The latter was completely defenseless against him, so even her soul power was drawn into his dantian. In an instant, the fruit that was as bright as the sun disappeared. A white fruit appeared and entered Qilin¡¯s dantian through her spiritual power. In an instant, Qilin¡¯s entire body was enveloped in white light, and her pale face instantly turned for the better. While she was still in her sleep, she smiled and felt very comfortable. ¡°No, the fluctuation is too big. We¡¯ll be detected¡­¡± Looking at the fluctuations in Qilin¡¯s body, Lin Mo frowned. The fluctuation of the Dao Law of Fate was difficult to hide. Qilin¡¯s realm was too low to erase the fluctuation¡­ With the thought of giving it a try, Lin Mo once again released his spiritual power on the Fruit of Fate and tried to keep it in the system space. Finally, there was no accident this time. Perhaps the light on it had been dissolved by Qilin. It was also possible that the system space had been expanded to the extreme. In short, Lin Mo had finally hidden the two heaven-defying opportunities. If they were hidden in the system space, even an Emperor would not be able to find them¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Mo, what are you laughing at?¡± Suddenly, the girl in his arms moved. She raised her head and blinked her big eyes, which were very cute. ¡°You woke up so quickly?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. ¡®Did I wake this little girl up?¡¯ ¡°But I feel like I¡¯ve fully recovered after sleeping for a whole day¡­¡± Qilin reluctantly stood up and stretched. She felt very comfortable at this time, and her origin had also been restored. As if she recalled something, she felt pain, and her heart ached¡­ ¡°What a huge loss! We lost the Immunity Talisman, you wasted so many divine medicines, and we almost died¡­¡± She still did not know about the Yin Yang Fruit and the Fruit of Fate. Lin Mo did not plan to tell her for the time being. After all, the fluctuations were too big, and there was no way to hide it¡­ Chapter 673 - 673 Treasure Hunt 673 Treasure Hunt ¡°Brother Lin, I¡¯m sorry for making you take such a huge risk.¡± Not far away, a white figure flew over, followed by a young girl who was about the same size as Qilin. The girl was wearing a dark green long dress, and her face was full of smiles. She had two small dimples, which were very attractive. ¡°That¡¯s Sister Mao Zhu, Sister Song¡¯s friend.¡± Qilin said. The four of them gathered, and Song Lianxue told them what happened outside. It turned out that Lin Mo¡¯s Immunity Talisman made him stay in the void for a month. In the end, Qilin had to rely on her relationship with Lin Mo¡¯s fate to find him. As for Qilin, because she had overexerted herself, her origin was almost exhausted, and she had almost died several times. It was all thanks to Song Lianxue for finding Mao Zhu, who was ranked 1,900th on the Hidden Dragon Rank. Nonetheless, Mao Zhu had been hiding her true strength. After all, she was a rogue cultivator and did not have any backing, so she did not dare to be too high profile. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll make it up to you for not being able to fulfill my promise.¡± Lin Mo said with a straight face. He was extremely grateful to Song Lianxue. Qilin was full of treasures, and yet Song Lianxue did not take the chance to make a move on her but kept taking care of her for Lin Mo. This made Lin Mo very grateful, but also a little guilty. After all, there were indeed treasures behind the broken formation, and they were the most top-notch treasures in the world. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re too kind. You¡¯ve helped me before. How can I return my kindness with ingratitude? ¡± Song Lianxue said with a smile. ¡°So you¡¯re Lin Mo with the God Devouring Body. To be honest, your realm is a little low¡­¡± The girl dressed in green spoke, but her remark was somewhat awkward. Song Lianxue was just about to mediate when Lin Mo finally reacted. He looked at the young girl who was about the size of Qilin. ¡°The eighth level of the Almighty realm, and you¡¯re about to break through¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He knew that many people could improve their realms quickly, but he did not expect it to be this fast. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate him, or you¡¯ll be at a disadvantage,¡± Qilin immediately retorted. To her, Lin Mo was the strongest. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of the God Devouring Body¡¯s terrifying combat power. However, no matter how strong it is, it¡¯s useless if the gap between the realms of you and your opponent is too big¡­¡± Mao Zhu shook her head. Her expression became a little desolate as she spoke. She was also a rogue cultivator. When she was young, she had fought with others for resources. ¡°Right, let¡¯s get down to business. There¡¯s a valley with a lot of elixirs growing there. It¡¯s a treasure land. Come with me.¡± Mao Zhu suddenly thought of something. After confirming that Lin Mo and Qilin could fight, she called the three of them to leave. The ancient battlefield was filled with treasure lands, and many of them were sealed. Nonetheless, as the World Tree had absorbed the energy here, most of the seals had loosened. Furthermore, many areas on the battlefield had collapsed, and some treasured lands had also appeared, attracting countless people to fight for them. ¡°Is that true? There¡¯s a heaven-grade tier 7 divine tree?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A divine tree of such a level was priceless, and it would be difficult to obtain it. ¡°That¡¯s right, I saw it with my own eyes. That said, there are five demonic beasts in the fifth step of the Ruler realm guarding it.¡± Mao Zhu said with certainty. She had tried to force her way in, but the five demonic beasts had many subordinates. It would be very difficult for her to break in, and if she made too much noise, it would attract more people. As such, she could only come to seek help. After more than ten minutes, they passed through a forest and arrived at the entrance of the valley. ¡°Oh no, someone has discovered this place. Someone is making a move ahead¡­¡± As soon as they arrived, Qilin, who had the most sensitive spiritual sense, was the first to detect what was happening. This kind of treasure land was difficult to hide and still attracted people here. Lin Mo was shocked. A divine tree of heaven-grade tier 7 would definitely be worth a lot if it was auctioned. He did not want to miss it. It seemed like he would have to be a third party who would benefit from other people¡¯s fight today¡­ At the same time, he also noticed that there were many strong auras nearby. There might be more people coming soon. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I can sense a big guy. Many people will die in this place¡­¡± Qilin said. Mao Zhu was stunned. She learned from Qilin that a powerful demonic beast was sleeping in the valley ahead. It had even reached the seventh step of the Ruler¡¯s realm. Even Mao Zhu did not dare to say that she could win against such a terrifying existence. Just like what she had said before, no matter how strong one¡¯s combat power was, if the gap between one¡¯s cultivation level with one¡¯s opponent was too big, it would mean nothing. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The three of us will be enough to take care of it.¡± Lin Mo was not worried. The most important thing at the moment was to obtain the divine tree. They walked into the valley, and as soon as they entered, a strong smell of blood assailed their noses. More than a dozen corpses were lying there, torn beyond recognition. In front of them, more than a dozen demonic beasts were attacking two or three young men. The men looked pale and were like arrows at the end of their flight. When they saw Lin Mo and the others enter, they quickly rushed over. ¡°Save¡ª¡± As soon as they cried out for help, a demonic beast pounced on them and tore them into pieces. More than a dozen people had entered, but at this moment, they had all been annihilated. ¡°These demonic beasts are much stronger than those in the outside world¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. Just five demonic beasts in the fifth step of the Ruler realm were already so powerful. Would the one hidden below not be even stronger? ¡°Let¡¯s end the battle quickly.¡± Mao Zhu immediately attacked and used her power to seal three of the demonic beasts. Just as she made her move, the ground trembled. Many of the elixirs in the valley had been ruined and destroyed in the battle. Only a fiery red divine tree stood in the deepest part of the forest. It was well-protected and undamaged. ¡°Oh no, that demonic beast has come out¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A demonic beast of the seventh step of the Ruler realm had joined forces with the five demonic beasts. The defense of the valley was impregnable. ¡°Qilin, conserve your energy and pay attention to your surroundings¡­¡± Just like that, everyone was assigned their roles on the battlefield. Mao Zhu was a little surprised, but she did not stop Lin Mo. Qilin attacked and suppressed the two of the demonic beasts. Lin Mo flew up and slammed his palm on the ground. The terrifying force caused the valley to crack. ¡°Roar!¡± An angry roar came from below, and a three-eyed giant with a silver-white body stood up. It was 10 meters tall, and its huge palm slammed down on Lin Mo. The power of this attack was extremely terrifying. Lin Mo was forced to retreat a dozen steps in succession. ¡°The hybrid of the Silver Giant and the Three-eyed Giant. What a strong body¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He took the blow head-on and felt his arm go numb and a little sore. The Silver Giant¡¯s body was incomparably terrifying, while the Three-eyed Giant specialized in soul attacks. The two of them combined and gave birth to an even more powerful descendant. ¡°Human, get out of here.¡± The giant demonic beast roared and spoke in the human language. It pulled out a thick steel rod from the ground and smashed it angrily. ¡°War Demon Spear, stab!¡± Lin Mo did not dare to be slow. He immediately released a terrifying killing intent, and a black spear pierced through everything. As soon as the heaven-grade tier 9 magic tool appeared, the situation was reversed. The fine steel iron rod suffered several attacks and could not bear the pressure, so it collapsed. Chapter 674 - 674 Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian 674 Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian ¡°Mismatched Yin Yang!¡± Taking advantage of the demonic beast¡¯s weakness, Lin Mo continued to attack, and the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind him. He pointed with the War Demon Spear, and a terrifying explosion occurred. The giant was obviously not good at speed, and it was hit by the explosion of the Mismatched Yin Yang. A shrill scream reverberated through the valley. Outside the valley, there were still many people observing in the dark, wanting to take the opportunity to make a move. Lin Mo¡¯s battle had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectations. No one had expected that the person who seemed to have the weakest cultivation level would be the first to finish the battle when facing the strongest demonic beast. ¡°That spear is at least of heaven-grade tier 7¡­¡± ¡°He looks unfamiliar. Which great sect is he from?¡± Some people muttered to themselves. They were shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s move and were considering whether they should attack at this moment. ¡°You settled it so quickly. It seems that I¡¯ve underestimated you¡­¡± On the other side, Mao Zhu and Qilin had also finished their battle, killing all the beasts in the Ruler realm. As for the other demonic beasts, they had fled in all directions, not daring to stay any longer. ¡°I simply relied on the power of a weapon. It¡¯s nothing to boast about.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out the giant demonic beast¡¯s inner core. ¡°Let¡¯s quickly take a look at what kind of divine tree it is.¡± Song Lianxue walked up. She could not interfere in a battle of this level, so she could only watch from a distance. ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. Since you¡¯ve dealt with the demonic beasts, you can get lost now.¡± At this moment, a cold voice came from behind them. They saw a blue-robed young man walk in from the entrance. He had an arrogant look on his face as he looked at them. A large group of people followed behind him. Lin Mo¡¯s gaze turned cold. ¡°Are you trying to steal halfway? I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t afford the price.¡± ¡°Another one from the Hidden Dragon Rank.¡± Song Lianxue warned, but she was not worried. After all, they had three powerful figures on their side. ¡°Hehe, what right does a person who relies on the might of a weapon have to say such words?¡± The blue-robed man asked. He was very confident. Even though he recognized Lin Mo¡¯s identity, he was still unconcerned. This was because he was a genius who could look down on an entire prefecture. No one could match him. ¡°He¡¯s Zhao Tianyu, from Fire State. His control over fire is exquisite to the extreme, and he¡¯s also an alchemist with a rich background.¡± Song Lianxue recalled the other party¡¯s identity and reminded his companions again. Zhao Tianyu had once made it through the Hidden Dragon Rank and entered the top 100, causing a sensation for a time. Furthermore, he was at the peak of the Almighty realm at the moment. It was hard to imagine how much he had accumulated before breaking through. After passing the Heavenly Tribulation, his realm had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had completed the Almighty realm in just over two months¡­ Such a person was definitely the most dangerous existence on the ancient battlefield. Furthermore, he was also an alchemist who had an endless supply of recovery spiritual pills. His combat power was terrifying. Lin Mo stepped forward with the War Demon Spear in his hand. He looked at the person before him and asked, ¡°An alchemist? I happen to be lacking one now. What about you? What¡¯s your identity? Come out together.¡± The long spear was pointed to the front, and a young man with golden hair walked out. He was wearing battle armor, and his body was filled with strong battle intent. ¡°You¡¯re worthy of the God Devouring Body. You¡¯re so arrogant. You want to take us as your servants?¡± The battle intent on the young man¡¯s body was monstrous, giving people the feeling that he was born for battle. A monstrous Qi filled the air. With his appearance, the valley trembled, and the mountains cracked. They could not bear his Qi. This young man was definitely a peerless genius. He was extremely terrifying, even more powerful than Zhao Tianyu. The pride in such a person¡¯s heart was difficult to erase. The two people had joined forces. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Feng Tian of Dragon State,¡± the young man spoke with a long spear in his hand. His simple words shocked many people. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even Feng Tian would come. It seems like we¡¯re not fated to get this divine tree¡­¡± Some people sighed. Although they were all geniuses from their own forces, they still felt a sense of powerlessness when they faced Feng Tian, who was in the ninth step of the Almighty realm. If they were to face Lin Mo, even though he was ranked seventh, people would only think that it was just because the Dragon Pavilion had acknowledged his potential. One had to know how slow the God Devouring Body¡¯s growth was. The other geniuses were advancing step by step, breaking through realms one after another. On the other hand, Lin Mo was still at the second step of the Almighty realm, and no one knew when he would break through¡­ Feng Tian was a genius from a Demonic Beast Tribe in Dragon State. His original form was a Nine-headed Lion. The tribe had a small population, but every member of the tribe was a one-in-a-million genius. Especially Feng Tian, who had an atavistic bloodline, there was a high chance that he could regain the glory of ancient times. Even though Lin Mo had Mao Zhu and Qilin with him, they were both weaker. Some people even concluded that the supreme inheritances of the Qilin and the Kun Peng were about to fall into the hands of Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian. Song Lianxue¡¯s expression changed as well, and she informed Lin Mo and Qilin of their situation. ¡°So if the two of them were properly ranked, they¡¯ll be in the top 100?¡± Lin Mo was a little overjoyed. He wanted to see the true value of the Hidden Dragon Rank. Feng Tian and Zhao Tianyu¡¯s expressions turned cold. They were not the strongest in Dragon State, but they were still in the top 20. However, Lin Mo looked down on them, which made them very unhappy. ¡°Your fighting spirit is strong, but are you afraid of this? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t use magic weapons,¡± Lin Mo said. He put away the War Demon Spear. Golden light flickered as he activated the extreme Yang energy within the Kun Peng¡¯s runes. Golden feathers appeared one after another, forming a sharp sword in his hand. ¡°Interesting. Do you want to fight one on one?¡± Zhao Tianyu sneered and turned to Feng Tian. ¡°Since he wants to fight you, then go and try.¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t forget the promised divine pill.¡± Feng Tian walked up to Lin Mo step by step, his battle spear in hand. His battle intent was constantly aroused as he stared at Lin Mo with cold eyes. He was like a wild beast, erupting at this moment. ¡°I do know you. You¡¯re from Snow Valley. Snow Valley¡¯s Holy Daughter and I are acquainted. Take your friend and leave. This matter has nothing to do with you.¡± Zhao Tianyu looked at Song Lianxue. After thinking for so long, he finally remembered Song Lianxue¡¯s identity. It was worth noting that alchemists had a wide network. They were able to get to know so many prodigies¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± A great battle broke out, and in an instant, a sonic boom could be heard. The golden sword and the battle spear collided, causing sparks to fly. After exchanging blows, Lin Mo was shocked. Feng Tian truly deserved the title of a genius. Feng Tian had broken through to the Almighty realm in the past two months, and he had defeated many powerful geniuses. He had raised his realm to the peak and was consolidating it at the moment. If nothing unexpected happened, Feng Tian should be able to break through to the Ruler realm within a year. Such a cultivation speed was terrifying, and Lin Mo was extremely envious. ¡°As expected of the God Devouring Body. You¡¯re only at the second step, and yet you¡¯re able to contend against me¡­¡± Feng Tian said. He had not thought highly of Lin Mo at first. A God Devouring Body without the protection of any power was nothing. No matter how heaven-defying Lin Mo¡¯s physique was, it could not make up for the shortcoming in his realm. Feng Tian¡¯s body flickered with runes, and marks condensed on his armor. The power he exerted was even stronger. Chapter 675 - 675 Capture 675 Capture ¡°Not using that spear was your biggest mistake. However, you have no chance anymore.¡± Feng Tian stared at Lin Mo. ¡°You¡¯re too confident¡­¡± The smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face disappeared, and he swung his sword. ¡°What?¡± Zhao Tianyu, Mao Zhu, and the onlookers were shocked. They realized that Lin Mo had unleashed a power that far exceeded his realm. The powerful sword light shattered the runes on Feng Tian¡¯s body. Even the armor on Feng Tian¡¯s body creaked as it was almost torn apart by the terrifying Sword Qi. This result moved Feng Tian. He had to take it seriously. The God Devouring Body was one of the strongest physiques in the human race. He had made a mistake¡­ Lin Mo still did not use his full strength, the War Demon Spear, or the Nine Qilin Steps. Even the Yin Yang Dao Law brought about by the Kun Peng¡¯s arts was not used. Lin Mo was purely relying on his physical body and the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme Yang power to fight against Feng Tian and force him back. ¡°Clang!¡± The divine sword shocked the world, and the entire place began to boil. Resplendent Sword Qi shot up into the sky, cutting off the surrounding mountains. Feng Tian roared at the sky and used all his might to execute his martial arts and Dao Laws to fight Lin Mo. ¡°Bang!¡± This was the most intense collision. One of them had vast magic power that surged, while the other¡¯s magic power was endless. In an instant, the two of them exchanged dozens of moves, and their martial arts techniques collided in the air. In the end, Feng Tian had no choice but to step back. His chest heaved up and down violently as he panted heavily, his expression ugly. The group of people could not believe it. Was the God Devouring Body that terrifying? Lin Mo was clearly seven steps behind, but he could defeat Feng Tian with his own strength and combat power¡­ At the back, Zhao Tianyu¡¯s expression also turned ugly. He had misjudged his opponent this time. He had thought that the God Devouring Body had not fully matured yet, so Lin Mo was not a threat to him. Zhao Tianyu did not expect Lin Mo¡¯s combat power to be so fierce that even Feng Tian was not his match¡­ On the other side, Qilin was clapping and cheering. She was not worried about Lin Mo¡¯s safety at all and had no intention of helping. At that moment, Feng Tian was regulating his breathing for a while, obliterating the Sword Qi that had been injected into his body. His eyes were deep as he stared at Lin Mo. He knew the other party¡¯s combat power. If Lin Mo had used that pitch-black spear, he would have been defeated by Lin Mo in less than ten moves. ¡°Fight!¡± With a loud shout, Feng Tian charged forward again, the battle spear in his hand emitting a bright light. In the next moment, it turned blood-red, and a terrifying power filled the air. The battle spear seemed to be bathed in blood, and a murderous aura was constantly released. ¡°Clang!¡± The spear glowed red as Feng Tian thrust it out like a Blood Dragon. ¡°Bloodline empowerment, the Nine-headed Lion¡¯s innate skill!¡± Someone cried out in surprise as he recognized the move that Feng Tian had used. This was one of his most famous techniques, and he had once used this technique to kill a Ruler when he was at the peak of the half-step Almighty realm. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Feng Tian¡¯s speed increased, leaving behind afterimages as he engaged Lin Mo in an intense battle. This time, Lin Mo could no longer remain calm and began to dodge some attacks. The Nine-headed Lion¡¯s innate technique was indeed very powerful. The attacking power of the battle spear had become even more powerful. If some ordinary Rulers were hit, they would probably die instantly. An intense battle broke out as the two of them exchanged hundreds of blows. This time, Lin Mo was forced to use the Kun Peng Wings. There were black patterns in golden color. Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared with a gentle flap, and when he reappeared, he was behind Feng Tian. The longsword in his hand slashed down, and a dazzling Sword Qi exploded. If this sword hit Feng Tian, Feng Tian would be crippled if not dead. However, the other party was also extremely experienced in combat. Lin Mo¡¯s sword hit the blood-red spear and pushed it back hundreds of meters. A huge ravine was created on the ground. ¡°Roar!¡± Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar came from the huge cloud of dust ahead. A ferocious golden lion charged out, its sharp claws reaching for Lin Mo. The golden sword was instantly shattered and turned back into feathers. The Hanging Wings retracted, protecting Lin Mo within. When the dust settled, a golden lion that was 100 meters tall appeared. It had a total of nine heads. It was majestic and had the demeanor of a king. Nonetheless, in the next moment, the Yin Yang Dao law surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body. The Kun Peng Wings turned black and white as they spread out. At the same time, Lin Mo leaped up, and an ocean appeared. As soon as he fell into it, a huge black fish appeared. It gently shook its tail, stirring up huge waves. In just an instant, the Nine-headed Lion was drowned. It sank into the sea and struggled. A golden light appeared on its body while its nine heads roared at the same time and shone with divine light. It rushed out of the ocean and rose into the air. Lin Mo had jumped out of the water and transformed into a golden roc. With a flap of his wings, the space was torn apart, and a sharp Sword Qi left bloody marks on the Nine-headed Lion¡¯s huge body. ¡°So this is the Kun Peng¡¯s technique? What a terrifying power.¡± Everyone was shocked. Lin Mo was seven steps below his opponent, but he still crushed his opponent. Only a divine beast could compete with the Kun Peng. For a moment, people looked into the distance. Over there, a white-robed young lady shouted loudly. She was dancing with joy when she saw the Kun Peng crushing the Nine-headed Lion. That was the Qilin girl, the only divine beast left in the world. With her around, even if Zhao Tianyu helped Feng Tian, they probably would not be able to gain any advantage¡­ ¡°The Nine-headed Lion was a God¡¯s mount in ancient times, right?¡± Lin Mo said softly. The runes that filled the sky dispersed, the waves disappeared, and so did the Kun Peng and the Nine-headed Lion. Lin Mo carried Feng Tian, who had lost his ability to fight, out of the battlefield, and what he said shocked countless people. ¡°We already have a mount, but Qilin and I are still lacking a pill-refining subordinate. Do you want to consider it?¡± The whole place was silent. A super genius who was ranked in the top 100 of the Hidden Dragon Rank had lost all his fighting power. The other person was also threatened. If he did not submit today, he would probably die. ¡°Crack!¡± A spatial fluctuation could be felt. As an alchemist, Zhao Tianyu had many treasures on him. At this moment, he crushed a talisman and led his subordinates to disappear from this place. ¡°He has escaped¡­¡± Some people were shocked. He had escaped with a spatial talisman, so it was too late to chase after him. ¡°I can feel it over there.¡± At that moment, the Qilin spoke from behind and pointed in a direction. The next moment, Lin Mo threw Feng Tian out. He extended his sky wings, took a step forward, and disappeared in an instant. ¡°Swish!¡± Tens of thousands of kilometers away, Zhao Tianyu and the others had just appeared. However, he immediately sensed something and called out. ¡°Run! Split up!¡± Zhao Tianyu took out a formation board and was about to activate it. In the next moment, golden light flickered, and a huge pair of Hanging Wings covered the entire sky. Lin Mo looked down coldly. After locking on to Zhao Tianyu with the War Demon Spear in his hand, he swung the spear down. ¡°If I let you go, I don¡¯t need to continue living¡­¡± His tone was calm. After breaking through the Almighty realm, he was able to use some of the power of the War Demon Spear. As a result, Zhao Tianyu had no room to resist and was directly captured. As for Zhao Tianyu¡¯s subordinates, Lin Mo could not be bothered with them. They had decent talent, but he was too lazy to recruit them. The reason he wanted Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian was also because of their abilities. Chapter 676 - 676 Invitation to Join 676 Invitation to Join After returning to the valley, Lin Mo took away the precious treasures of Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian. ¡°Not bad¡­¡± There were quite a few treasures that he could not identify, so he waited for the system space¡¯s introduction. [Heaven-grade tier 5 magic tool, the Sea Calming Pearl. It is a treasure created by imitating the supreme treasure, Sea Calming Divine Pearl. It can create space.] [Crimson Heavenly Fire Seed, an immortal-grade treasure. After refining it, one can greatly comprehend the Fire Dao Law.] ¡°Good stuff¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This was actually an immortal-grade treasure. It was truly rare. If it was refined by Song Lianxue, while she would not reach the peak, she could not be underestimated. [Holy Fire Technique, a heaven-grade tier 9 cultivation technique. Only by controlling a flame born from heaven and earth in one¡¯s body can one successfully cultivate it.] A scroll appeared. It was a heaven-grade tier 9 cultivation technique. It must be Zhao Tianyu¡¯s treasure. It must be a cultivation technique that was passed down in Zhao Tianyu¡¯s clan. If Lin Mo cultivated it, it would probably bring him a fatal disaster. As for the Crimson Heavenly Fire Seed, Lin Mo probably could not give it out either. Otherwise, the other party¡¯s clan would not let him go. Snow Valley would not go to war with a big clan for a disciple¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, are you really going to take these two as your subordinates?¡± Qilin walked over. She took away all the spiritual and divine herbs from Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian without any hesitation. Although the two of them were not weak, it was obvious that they would not be willing to be Lin Mo¡¯s subordinates. ¡°If they don¡¯t submit, then they can just die,¡± Lin Mo said indifferently. He thought back to his encounter in Cloud State a long time ago. Back then, Gongsun Wenhao had a large number of followers. Even Feng Tian and Zhao Tianyu had people following them. This might be the reason their strengths improved so quickly. Some people especially collected resources for them¡­ No matter how strong Lin Mo and Qilin were, they were just two people. After going into seclusion, there was no way for them to collect resources. Having two subordinates by his side would make things more convenient. Furthermore, Lin Mo was planning to build a Chamber of Commerce on the ancient battlefield to collect resources and auction treasures. If he wanted to do that, he would need powerhouses in the Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian were good choices, but it was clear from their eyes that they would not submit so easily¡­ Outside the valley, the group of people looked at Lin Mo in horror. Were the two geniuses of the Hidden Dragon Rank going to be eliminated just like that? That would be such a pity. In the dark, the disciples of Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian¡¯s forces were trembling in fear. They did not want their geniuses to be enslaved, but they also did not want them to be killed just like that and lose their right to fight on the ancient battlefield. ¡°Can you tell me if you used your full strength just now?¡± Feng Tian looked at Lin Mo unwillingly. ¡°I used about 70%.¡± Lin Mo told him the truth. Feng Tian¡¯s body trembled, his eyes filled with unwillingness and bitterness. ¡°I should¡¯ve thought of this earlier. The God Devouring Body is one of the strongest body types of the human race¡­ He had thought that the God Devouring Body was only invincible among those of the same rank. After all, since ancient times, the God Devouring Body had not appeared in the world. The human race¡¯s status among the myriad races was below average¡­ Lin Mo did not say anything more and looked at Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian. In the distance, many people¡¯s scalps went numb. This was too shocking. With 70% of his combat power, Lin Mo defeated Feng Tian, who was in the ninth step of the Almighty realm¡­ Who could rival such a terrifying combat power? ¡°You only used 70%?¡± On the side, Mao Zhu looked at Lin Mo in shock. Ever since they had met, Lin Mo had been refreshing her knowledge. Now that Lin Mo had admitted to it, she finally knew how terrifying he was. The pride in her heart was reduced, and she had no choice but to pay more attention to him. She had to work harder in the future¡­ ¡°You and Qilin have offended too many people. Let them go and save some face.¡± Mao Zhu advised. The two men had deep backgrounds, so it was best not to offend them. ¡°What are you afraid of? Many people are after us. Two more wouldn¡¯t hurt,¡± Qilin said in a carefree manner. ¡°Hurry up and decide. Do you want to submit or die?¡± Qilin was getting impatient and was planning to eliminate the two young men. ¡°Wait a minute. You two, I¡¯m sure you don¡¯t want to be left behind by the geniuses of the Northern Continent.¡± Lin Mo made one last attempt at persuasion and expressed his thoughts. He and Qilin needed to cultivate, so they needed someone to take care of and hold auctions in the Chamber of Commerce if it was established. When he and Qilin were not around, they needed someone to keep watch. This was the only way to be safe. ¡°With just a few of us, how big can the Chamber of Commerce be?¡± Zhao Tianyu asked. Although Lin Mo and Qilin were very famous, many people wanted to target them. Establishing a Chamber of Commerce¡­ The next time Lin Mo and Qilin came out of seclusion, they would probably hear the news of the Chamber of Commerce being destroyed. ¡°How I operate it is my business. Moreover, as long as you help me, I can also provide you with cultivation resources. ¡°I can also guarantee that once we leave the ancient battlefield, all our grudges will be settled. You can seek revenge if you want, or you can treat me as a fellow Daoist.¡± This was the biggest concession Lin Mo could make. If they still did not agree to it, he could only kill them. ¡°I¡¯ll agree if you return me the Crimson Heavenly Fire Seed and the Holy Fire Technique.¡± Zhao Tianyu immediately agreed to it, but he also made a request. They were the key to his cultivation, and he could not afford to make any mistakes. ¡°And you?¡± Lin Mo looked at Feng Tian. He was very satisfied with Zhao Tianyu¡¯s agreement. After all, he did not need to eat elixirs anymore. With Zhao Tianyu¡¯s alchemy skills, it should not be a problem for him to make some divine pills of heaven-grade tier 1 or 2. ¡°Okay, but return our treasures.¡± Feng Tian nodded. He also asked Lin Mo for the treasures that had been taken away. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. These treasures will help the Chamber of Commerce build up its reputation. You can just auction them off.¡± Lin Mo laughed. How could he return such good things so easily? He had to get his hands on the treasures from the rebate system no matter what. There was no room for discussion. ¡°The two of you, do you want to join us? If you do, I¡¯ll take care of all your cultivation resources.¡± After the young men agreed, Lin Mo looked at Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue. They also had potential, so it would be best if he could rope them in. ¡°You¡¯re also a rogue cultivator. Where would you get so many resources?¡± Mao Zhu did not believe him. Any genius would consume a terrifying amount of resources, not to mention Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body. ¡°There¡¯s no harm in working together. We have nowhere to go anyway¡­¡± Song Lianxue said in a low voice, trying to persuade Mao Zhu to stay and help. She was quite tempted by Lin Mo¡¯s offer. Furthermore, because of the Immunity Talisman, Lin Mo had promised her that he would find her treasures to improve her aptitude. With Mao Zhu¡¯s help, it should be easier. ¡°That¡¯s fine too, but let me say this first. If you don¡¯t give me enough resources, I won¡¯t stay with you anymore.¡± In the end, Mao Zhu could not resist Song Lianxue¡¯s persuasion and agreed. Although she said that she would leave at any time, given her attitude, there should not be any problems in the short term. ¡°That¡¯s great! Welcome, sisters.¡± Qilin clapped happily. All this time, the people she had met were enemies. Now, she finally had companions¡­ Chapter 677 - 677 The Change of the God Devouring Body 677 The Change of the God Devouring Body The divine tree in the valley had also been plucked. The fruits on it had ripened and were very precious. As expected of an alchemist, Zhao Tianyu was very knowledgeable in the field of medicinal herbs. He was able to recognize what it was after looking at it for a while. ¡°Flowing Ember Fruits. They¡¯re the main ingredient for refining the heavenly pills. There are a total of nine of them, which is very rare.¡± Zhao Tianyu took out a pill recipe from his storage ring and said, ¡°I can use it to refine a heavenly pill, and it should be of heaven grade.¡± The heavenly pill¡¯s effect was to purify the energy in one¡¯s body to a large extent. If a demonic beast consumed it, it could purify its bloodline and evolve. This was extremely precious to Feng Tian. His original form was a Nine-headed Lion. After taking the heavenly pill, his bloodline would become purer, and the sign of atavism would become more obvious. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you. After the refinement is successful, everyone will have a share.¡± Lin Mo laughed. He and Qilin did not need it, so they could just auction theirs off. On the way, Lin Mo asked Feng Tian and Zhao Tianyu about what had happened on the ancient battlefield. Especially Gongsun Wenhao, Teng Feng, and the others. Unfortunately, this world was too big, and it would take a long time for the news to spread. These two people had never seen Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng. ¡°The young master of the Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun, has entered the deepest part of the battlefield. He triggered the Supreme Divine Tribulation and has yet to return. ¡°Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant, Su Qing, found a nest that seemed to be where the True Phoenix lives. They had a fierce battle with a mysterious powerhouse and almost destroyed the entrance of the nest.¡± ¡°What kind of mysterious powerhouse?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. It was strange that the Dragon Pavilion did not record on the Hidden Dragon Rank someone who could fight with Mu Yuzhu. After learning a lot of information, Lin Mo and Qilin were about to leave to cultivate in seclusion. Mao Zhu was going to take Song Lianxue to a historical site. It was said that there was a divine spring there that could increase one¡¯s talent. As for Feng Tian and Zhao Tianyu, they were busy with the Chamber of Commerce¡¯s affairs. After deciding on a place and time, they all split up. ¡°What a pity. I have to return the divine medicines that I obtained¡­¡± Qilin said with dissatisfaction. Lin Mo had asked her to return the divine medicines and elixirs that she had taken from Feng Tian and Zhao Tianyu. The two of them found a secret mountain stream in the boundless mountain range, hid there, and began to cultivate. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. We¡¯ll soon have a large number of divine medicines for cultivation¡­¡± Lin Mo consoled her softly and began to cultivate in seclusion. Qilin was in seclusion to break through to the sixth step of the Almighty realm. At this moment, she was refining the medicinal properties of many divine medicines in her body. Lin Mo, on the other hand, had a much tougher time cultivating. ¡°The damage the God Devouring Body is doing to my body is becoming more and more obvious. Will it not go out of control in the future?¡± Lin Mo said softly. His aura had not changed at all in the past day. There were a few cracks on his body, and blood was slowly flowing out. This was the impact of the God Devouring Body devouring the universe¡¯s energy. Such a brutal cultivation method was a great burden on his body. He had spent nearly 30 million high-grade spirit stones in just one day. This amount of spirit stones was enough for an ordinary person to break through. However, nothing happened to him. The God Devouring Body digested the spirit stones as if it was eating and drinking. Lin Mo reflected and carefully studied the Soul Devouring Art. Even so, it was still useless. Unless one obtained an extremely heaven-defying opportunity, the Soul Devouring Art would never evolve. This also caused Lin Mo to be unable to control the God Devouring Body. The reason he was able to fight enemies of a higher level was entirely because of his solid foundation and the accumulation of several years. ¡°Perhaps I can obtain the complete Soul Devouring Art after refining this fruit¡­¡± With his current strength, he could comprehend the Dao Law from the Yin Yang Fruit. Unfortunately, it was impossible to refine it. Even if the God Devouring Body went berserk and broke free from his control, it would still be impossible. Lin Mo would definitely not allow that to happen. He knew that his path of cultivation had just begun. The benefits of the God Devouring Body were about to appear. Despite that, the test of life and death had also come. In the future, it would not be possible to keep on breaking through with sufficient resources¡­ ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll break through first.¡± Lin Mo calmed down and took out another pile of spirit stones. He held a divine medicine in his hand and began to absorb the energy. In the next few days, it would be very difficult for Lin Mo to break through. The devoured energy was rampaging in his body. He had to suppress it with all his might and merge it into the black hole in the center of his dantian. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. Next, I should break through in one go.¡± Lin Mo took a deep breath. The spirit stones around him were used up again, and the divine medicine in his hand dried up. In five days, he had spent 50 million high-grade spirit stones and a divine medicine. At this moment, all this energy was being suppressed in his dantian. If he was not careful, he would explode and die. ¡°Swish!¡± Lin Mo took out another divine fruit to protect himself from being seriously injured by the God Devouring Body. At the same time, the Yin Yang Fruit in the system space glowed. A black and white divine light spread and wrapped around Lin Mo, forming a round cauldron with three legs and two ears. The lid of the cauldron fell and sealed Lin Mo within. The Yin Yang Dao Law appeared and permeated the surroundings, causing the void to distort. The Yin Yang Dao Law absorbed the universe¡¯s energy to nourish itself. In the end, the flames in the cauldron were filled with black and white colors. Yin and Yang were balanced as they helped Lin Mo refine his body. The Yin Yang Fruit guided the universe¡¯s energy to help Lin Mo comprehend the Dao. At the same time, the Yin Yang divine medicine was like the fire of death. While it gave Lin Mo strength, it also brought pain and danger. ¡°This is my fourth attempt.¡± Looking at his dantian, Lin Mo had attempted to break through to the third step four times. Every time he tried to break through, he felt that his body was about to break, and his meridians were about to be broken. His body was about to be burned by the Divine Yin Yang Fire. Although his comprehension of the Dao law had become deeper during this period, and he had even used it to comprehend a deeper level of the Mismatched Yin Yang, his cultivation level did not change at all. He was still at the second step of the Almighty realm and was stuck at the last step. ¡°Something¡¯s not right. There shouldn¡¯t be any threshold for the God Devouring Body¡­¡± Opening his eyes weakly, Lin Mo took a bite of the divine fruit in his hand. Boundless vitality slowly healed his injuries. He did not understand. Could it be that the ancient books recorded it wrongly? Did the God Devouring Body have to face a threshold after breaking through to the Almighty realm? Nonetheless, Lin Mo felt that he was naturally intelligent and had outstanding talent. He did not dare to say that he was the best in the world, but he was not far from that. Now that he had accumulated enough energy, he became suspicious after failing to break through four times. ¡°System, can you tell me what my current situation is?¡± Lin Mo could not help but ask. His injuries had fully recovered, but he was not in a hurry to break through. He wanted to find an answer from the system. When he did not get an answer, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and condensed a drop of blood essence, which he kept in the system space. As expected, when the drop of blood entered, the system¡¯s introduction came. [The blood essence of the God Devouring Body. It contains the Yin Yang Dao Law. Under the influence of the Yin Yang fruit, the awakening of the God Devouring Body is accelerated.] ¡°What happens after the awakening?¡± [If you awaken the God Devouring Body before reaching the ninth step of the quasi-Emperor realm, you will go completely crazy and lose control of your body. You will become a monster that only knows how to devour.] Chapter 678 - 678 A Strange Environment 678 A Strange Environment The system¡¯s words shocked Lin Mo. The God Devouring Body was indeed dangerous. While it brought strength, it also brought a fatal threat. Moreover, he had also obtained the Yin Yang Fruit, which further accelerated the time of the awakening. ¡°This isn¡¯t right. What does this have to do with me not being able to break through?¡± Lin Mo did not understand and continued to read the system¡¯s introduction. [The God Devouring Body has entered the awakening stage. The bottleneck of your cultivation has appeared, and it will be more difficult for you to break through than ordinary people.] Lin Mo finally understood that he had reached a bottleneck¡­ Moreover, he had a thought in his mind. Did the God Devouring Body have a life? Or did it have its own consciousness¡­ This was to control itself and prevent itself from being awakened before reaching the ninth step of the quasi-Emperor realm. ¡°But do I have to give up the Yin Yang Fruit¡­?¡± Without a doubt, this was impossible. Not only would Lin Mo not give up, but he would also use it to cultivate and reach perfection. He was not dejected by the dangers in the future and firmly believed that he could continue to walk down the path. One day, he would definitely succeed and completely control the God Devouring Body. With this conviction, Lin Mo started his fifth attempt. The Dao laws around him appeared to help him. The obstruction appeared again. The God Devouring Body increased its devouring power, and the spiritual Qi caused Lin Mo¡¯s meridians to be severely damaged. At that moment, even Qilin, who was not far away, could sense it. She opened her eyes and looked at Lin Mo in confusion. The Divine Yin Yang Fire filled the air, turning the cave into a sea of fire. In the end, Qilin could not even continue cultivating. She felt that the spiritual Qi around her was being sucked away. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± In the cauldron, Lin Mo spat out a mouthful of blood. The power of the God Devouring Body was beyond imagination. He had been injured by the shock, and his Yin and Yang were out of balance. He could not bear the impact and almost lost control of his cultivation. At the critical moment, golden light appeared on his burnt body. The runes that had been engraved on his bone armor during the transcendence of the tribulation appeared to suppress the chaotic energy in his body. Lin Mo endured the intense pain in his body and charged into the third step of the Almighty realm in one go. At the same time, he used this momentum to continue charging. The massive amount of Qi in his body was reduced significantly, relieving Lin Mo¡¯s stress. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s realm was also rising. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the peak of the third step. He took a step forward, and his aura skyrocketed. At this moment, he had a feeling of transcendence. Although he was severely injured, he seemed to have transcended everything, and his comprehension of the Yin Yang Dao Law reached a higher level. Lin Mo did not know why, but he felt an inexplicable emotion. It seemed to be¡­ Disappointment? ¡°How could this be? I¡¯ve broken through several times. How can I be disappointed¡­?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. His premonition could not be wrong. There was indeed a moment of disappointment¡­ ¡°Was it an illusion or¡­?¡± Lin Mo was a little scared, but he did not dare to think too much about it. He did not have enough knowledge at the moment. Did the God Devouring Body have another consciousness? ¡°Luckily, I still have the system. It¡¯s my biggest trump card¡­¡± Lin Mo had made up his mind to collect information and ancient books related to the God Devouring Body. If he could auction it, he would be able to obtain more records of the God Devouring Body. After a long while, Lin Mo opened his eyes. The cauldron formed by the Yin Yang Dao Law had disappeared. He was severely injured and fell down. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, what¡¯s wrong¡­?¡± Qilin rushed over and helped Lin Mo up. She was anxious and took out an unfinished divine medicine to feed Lin Mo. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lin Mo struggled to get up. He triggered his meridians, causing him to grimace in pain. His injuries were very serious. His origin was unstable, and the spiritual Qi in his dantian was leaking out. His skin was cracked by the fire, and his skin and flesh were dry. He was like a zombie. Furthermore, the God Devouring Body had been constantly devouring the universe¡¯s spiritual Qi to help Lin Mo cultivate. Now, it stopped. There was no movement. The God Devouring Body was no longer operating on its own. Only when Lin Mo used the Soul Devouring Art did his God Devouring Body absorb spiritual Qi for him to heal. ¡°I was a little impatient in my breakthrough. I¡¯ll be fine after resting for two days¡­¡± Lin Mo said. The God Devouring Body¡¯s problem was not a small matter. He just hoped that he had guessed wrong, or the consequences would be severe. ¡°By the way, help me take a look at my fate. You don¡¯t have to look too much. Just tell me whether it¡¯s good or bad.¡± Qilin was in charge of fate. Although her realm was very weak at the moment, she could still see the general situation. ¡°Good fortune and bad luck come together.¡± After a simple glance, Lin Mo got a vague answer. The ancient battlefield was filled with opportunities and dangers. It was as though Qilin did not answer his question at all. As if she understood this, Qilin wanted to activate the Dao law in her body and activate her innate divine ability to see what was going on. ¡°Don¡¯t waste it¡­¡± Lin Mo quickly stopped her. Qilin was at the seventh step of the Almighty realm, which was a huge improvement. However, her realm was a little unstable. She had just broken through and needed to stabilize it. ¡°Time is precious. Hurry up and stabilize your realm. I¡¯ll go out and heal my injuries¡­¡± Lin Mo left the cave and opened up a cave abode on the opposite mountain peak to recuperate. He took out a divine medicine and two half-divine fruits. ¡°No matter what, let¡¯s make use of every minute.¡± The danger of the God Devouring Body was still unknown. Even the precious divine medicine could only be used as food for healing at this moment. In another cave, Qilin was a little anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sigh and continue cultivating. There was a palm-sized yellow flower with a thick stolon. Lin Mo did not hesitate. He tore the flower off, crushed it, and ate it. In an instant, his body emitted a black light, and the medicinal properties of the flower quickly spread through Lin Mo¡¯s limbs and bones. His broken meridians were reconnected at this moment, and his bones were also nourished. Flesh and blood were regrown. This was the effect of directly swallowing divine medicine. Rich life force could nourish all living things, even one¡¯s soul. Nevertheless, eating it this way would lose more than half of the medicinal effects. After all, it was swallowed whole, so it was a waste. Lin Mo¡¯s body began to change. His dried-up flesh grew back, and a layer of old skin was shed. Fair skin reappeared. The medicinal effect in his body continued to heal his injuries. That said, he was severely injured by the Divine Yin Yang Fire. This was the mark left behind by the great Dao. Even with the help of divine medicine, it still took a day for his injuries to completely heal. If it was an ordinary injury, a divine medicine would probably be able to completely heal him in a few breaths. Only an injury from the great Dao would be so difficult to treat and would take such a long time. ¡°I still have enough spirit stones. Let¡¯s continue cultivating.¡± As soon as he recovered, Lin Mo immediately sat down with his legs crossed and took out all his savings, which amounted to 300 million high-grade spirit stones. He kept the three remaining divine medicines to save his life and used the rest for cultivation. ¡°Ever since I started cultivating, I¡¯ve never encountered a bottleneck. It¡¯s all because of the God Devouring Body. ¡°But this is like a lack of experience. Strength came too easily.¡± Lin Mo sighed. The history of the God Devouring Body¡¯s growth was filled with sadness. Since ancient times, there had only been a few recorded God Devouring Bodies that had truly reached great success. The secret behind that might be related to the awakening of the God Devouring Body. Lin Mo did not want his life to be decided like that. He wanted to transcend and change the fate of the God Devouring Body. Chapter 679 - 679 Potential Danger 679 Potential Danger 300 million high-grade spirit stones, a dozen half-divine herbs, and a few divine herbs. Lin Mo refined all of such terrifying power in 10 days. The Divine Yin Yang Fire appeared and burned through the mountain. The entire sky was tainted, and even the space he was in was shattered and on the verge of collapse. Lin Mo, in the center of the flames, was severely injured again and almost died. After many failed attempts to break through and when his life force was about to be exhausted, he finally stopped. He ate a divine medicine and recovered to his peak. At this moment, he was only a step away from reaching the fifth step of the Almighty realm. With the help of the Yin Yang Dao Law, he was about to break through. ¡°It¡¯s so terrifying. The Divine Yin Yang Fire brought by the Divine Yin Yang Fruit is too powerful.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart palpitated as he looked at the Divine Yin Yang Fire that surrounded him. During his cultivation, he felt that he had become stronger, and his comprehension of Dao laws far exceeded those of the same realm. Without a doubt, the Divine Yin Yang Fruit had led him to an unimaginable path. If he had given the Divine Fruit of Fate to Qilin, perhaps she would have taken the same path. With the Divine Great Dao Fire during cultivation, every breakthrough would be a torment. This was too dangerous. He did not want Qilin to take the risk and planned to give it to her after she reached the next realm. In addition, Qilin had once told him that she wanted to go to his birthplace to take a look. When she woke up, she felt that her mother had left something for her. Back then, she was born prematurely. In order to avoid being caught, she could only take the Qilin Ancient Tree and leave in a hurry. Now that she was here, she had to go and take a look no matter what. At the moment, Lin Mo could only try his best to raise his realm and make a complete breakthrough. Lin Mo had enough energy, and his comprehension ability was also extremely heaven-defying. Although he had never experienced a bottleneck in the past, these two breakthroughs had allowed him to grab hold of an opportunity. After spending seven days, he broke through again and reached the fifth step. Lin Mo did not absorb the rest of the energy. He allowed them to nourish his body, transform, and heal his body. The Divine Yin Yang Fire disappeared, and Lin Mo fell from the cauldron. He got up with difficulty and sat cross-legged, silently refining the spiritual Qi in his body, transforming it into vitality to heal himself. Suddenly, Lin Mo sensed that his surroundings had changed. Runes flickered, and the cave abode became transparent. A new pattern began to be written. Lin Mo was highly familiar with the Soul Devouring Art. He could feel a power awakening in his body. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo opened his eyes. He was still injured, but it was no longer fatal. The runes in the cave abode were very mysterious. Gradually, they changed. It was still the Soul Devouring Art, but not the one that Lin Mo was familiar with. Wisps of runes approached, and the place seemed to have fallen into a black hole. It was eerie and terrifying. ¡°Who¡¯s up to no good? Get the hell out here!¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly. This strange phenomenon made his hair stand on end, and goosebumps rose all over his body. He spread out his soul power and scanned the entire mountain. Even so, he did not find anything. He could not even sense the aura of an outsider. Only the worried Qilin, who had come out of seclusion not far away, could be seen. After sensing Lin Mo¡¯s soul power, she was even more worried¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo immediately shattered the entire mountain, turning it into dust such that it disappeared. ¡°Brother Lin Mo?¡± Qilin was shocked, not understanding what Lin Mo was doing. ¡°Qilin, step back and protect yourself.¡± Lin Mo ordered Qilin to move away, his expression grave. At this time, he was absolutely sure that someone was up to no good in the dark, and that someone knew him very well. If the person could master the Soul Devouring Art, the person could even obtain the subsequent runes¡­ Even so, this was what shocked Lin Mo the most. He could not sense where the other party was or who he was. The unknown danger was the most terrifying¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± The runes of the Soul Devouring Art appeared around him once again. Lin Mo observed them carefully and memorized them. Circulating this path in his body, he discovered that this was the cultivation technique that was most suitable for him. It perfectly connected with the previous cultivation method¡¯s route and resonated with the Soul Devouring Art, allowing him to have a deeper level of control. ¡°Who is it? What kind of ability do you have for you to play tricks behind the scenes?¡± Lin Mo released his power and instantly dispelled the runes around him. Only then did the terrifying and strange feeling in the dark disappear. He looked around and did not find anything unusual. ¡°Mismatched Yin Yang, Nine Qilin Steps!¡± Lin Mo shouted. The two strongest killing moves were used at the same time, and the sky was painted golden. Yin and Yang Qi filled the air as Lin Mo attacked in all directions. At the same time, he held the War Demon Spear and pierced through everything. Spear shadows spread out, and everything within 50 kilometers was destroyed. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± In the distance, Qilin flew over worriedly. She did not sense any danger and only saw Lin Mo attacking like a madman. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes returned to normal after the momentary daze. He was a little confused. He looked at Qilin, and the latter¡¯s worried expression made his heart ache. The powerful aura on his body suddenly disappeared. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ I think I was obsessed¡­¡± Lin Mo did not even believe this statement himself. Although Qilin was simple-minded, she was naturally intelligent, so she naturally did not believe it. Lin Mo was silent. He had obtained too much information during his seclusion. Furthermore, the God Devouring Body had always been a legend since ancient times. In ancient times, although the human race had records of the God Devouring Body, no one had ever cultivated it to its peak. ¡°Does Qilin¡¯s mother still have a remnant of consciousness in this world¡­?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself in his heart. This question could only be answered by going to Qilin¡¯s birthplace. ¡°You¡¯re worried and afraid¡­¡± Qilin came to Lin Mo¡¯s side and said softly, feeling Lin Mo¡¯s state of mind. She could not understand what Lin Mo, who had always been fearless, had encountered. ¡°You promised not to lie to me¡­¡± She raised her head and looked at Lin Mo pitifully. Lin Mo was her only relative, and she hated it when he kept everything from her and faced danger alone¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. I don¡¯t know what happened either. Perhaps it¡¯s related to my God Devouring Body, but I don¡¯t know the reason¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and patted Qilin¡¯s head, comforting her softly. ¡°But don¡¯t worry, I also want to see what it is. I won¡¯t be defeated so easily.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s tone gradually became firm, and the determination in his eyes could not be erased. The ancient era had been destroyed, leaving behind many ruins and unsolved mysteries. The ancient battlefield was one of them. Perhaps he could find some answers here. He asked Qilin to protect him while he continued to cultivate and stabilize his realm. At this moment, he had completely reached the fifth step of the Almighty realm. His foundation was solid, and his battle prowess was even more powerful. During this period, his injuries were also healed by the God Devouring Body, which absorbed the spiritual Qi in the surroundings. His condition was at its peak. ¡°We¡¯ve been cultivating for a month and a half. Are we going to continue with our closed-door cultivation?¡± On the top of a mountain, Qilin was bored and looked at Lin Mo. She was now at the eighth step of the Almighty realm, and her progress was rapid. She could be called a monster. After all, she had only been born for two years. Even as a divine beast, it was rare for her to have such achievements. Chapter 680 - 680 Avoiding a Sudden Attack 680 Avoiding a Sudden Attack ¡°Let¡¯s wait a little longer. I have a feeling that something is going to happen¡­¡± Lin Mo said. During this period, he had sensed that a pair of eyes had been watching him in the dark. He did not know what it was, but his cultivation state was abnormal, so it must have something to do with it. Qilin did not understand. She did not sense anything and felt that everything was normal. Nothing would happen. Even so, Lin Mo did not seem to be faking it. It seemed like something was really going to happen¡­ Suddenly, Qilin noticed that Lin Mo was going to be doomed, and all the good fortune he had won over had disappeared. What replaced them was a bloody killing intent that surrounded him and was constantly surging into his body. ¡°Buzz!¡± In the air, a few runes appeared and fused with each other, drawing out bits of vitality. Lin Mo was on high alert, looking at the changes in the void ahead and not noticing Qilin¡¯s strange behavior. ¡°What is it?¡± Danger was approaching, but Lin Mo still could not sense who the enemy was. ¡°An enemy!¡± Behind, Qilin¡¯s face was deathly pale. The vertical eye between her eyebrows was closed, and blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth. Her soul and aura were dispirited. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was shocked as he felt the changes in Qilin. He quickly flew over and hugged her. ¡°You used the Eye of Destiny again?¡± His face was filled with anger. Did he not tell her not to use this move casually? If one did not have enough strength, one would not be able to control this ability. If Qilin activated it forcefully, even if she was only looking at a destined event and did not change it, it was enough to severely injure her. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, the enemy¡­ Is afraid of you¡­ ¡°You have to¡­ Exterminate¡­ In advance¡­¡± In its weakened state, Qilin said two sentences intermittently. Before she could finish, she fell completely unconscious. Purple light flickered. Before Lin Mo could feed her the divine medicine, wisps of runes spread out. Qilin¡¯s body shrank, and when the light disappeared, a small, snow-white beast lay in Lin Mo¡¯s arms. This was Qilin¡¯s original form. She was very young, and her soul fluctuations were extremely weak. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s heart burned with anxiety because he had no idea what had happened. Qilin had only taken a look at the other party¡¯s background, but she suffered such a serious backlash¡­ ¡°Buzz.¡± In the air, among the endless runes, it seemed as if a human figure was being born. For some reason, Lin Mo was very familiar with him as if they were from the same lineage. The inexplicable demonic feeling made him unable to make up his mind. He did not move rashly. He stared at the figure and felt hostility and danger. ¡°Thump, thump¡­¡± With a strong heartbeat, the runes in front of him gradually dissipated, and a majestic aura of life burst out at this moment. Seeing this, Lin Mo felt as if he was facing a great enemy. He knew the real danger was coming. The figure was walking in the void. His steps were crooked as if he was adapting to his new body. Lin Mo focused his attention and gripped the War Demon Spear tightly. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable. The runes completely disappeared, and the area seemed to be isolated from the world, forming a hellish scene. In front of him was a humanoid creature, or rather, it was a human. His facial features were unclear, and he had no expression. In fact, the other party did not even release his aura. However, Lin Mo could sense hostility from the other party, and even¡­ Killing intent. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had to pay attention to someone who could make Qilin pay such a huge price. The figure in front of him did not say anything. He was like a God of death from hell, suppressing all living beings in the world. A demon mask appeared on his face, and his eyes emitted a red light. A majestic killing intent spread out in an instant. At this moment, it was like a wild beast without its own intelligence. ¡°Is it not the right one¡­?¡± Lin Mo shook his head and kept Qilin in the system space. The system space had been expanded to its maximum size. There was no problem in storing living creatures, and it was absolutely safe. The following battle would not affect Qilin. With the War Demon Spear in his hand, Lin Mo raised his aura to its peak. No matter what danger lay ahead, he had to get rid of it no matter what. ¡°Boom!¡± The figure in front of him moved. He raised his right hand, and a bronze spear appeared. There was deep rust on it, and it had definitely been corroded over time. Lin Mo had been staring straight ahead. He was shocked when he saw the bronze spear. This was definitely a terrifying magical weapon that was not inferior to the War Demon Spear. Moreover, it had been around for a long time, so its origin must be terrifying¡­ ¡°Clang!¡± Lin Mo felt the threat of death in an instant, and his body tensed up. He was shocked. The moment the other party attacked, the entire world trembled as if he was the master of this area. ¡°I don¡¯t care who you are, but you will die today.¡± Lin Mo thrust out his War Demon Spear and collided with the battle spear for the first time. A power exploded, shaking the void. The two sides were only a thousand feet apart, and they met in the blink of an eye. The battle spear and the long spear collided. ¡°Dang!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat when the two attacks collided. His opponent was at the same level as him, the fifth step of the Almighty realm. However, the speed and strength of his opponent¡¯s attack were not inferior to his. Lin Mo waved the War Demon Spear, and a pitch-black killing intent filled the air. The spear shot out like a dragon, taking the initiative to attack. However, this charged attack was easily blocked by the opponent¡¯s spear. At this moment, the entire mountain range trembled, and a hellish scene spread out. The battle between the two caused all kinds of strange phenomena. Lin Mo staggered backward, feeling his arm numb and in pain. In just two or three moves, his spear had almost slipped out of his hand. His opponent¡¯s strength was too great. If it was someone else, their arm would have exploded or even been nailed in the air. ¡°Boom!¡± After a short rest, Lin Mo attacked again. He swung his spear horizontally, and the tip of the spear cut through the sky, leaving a light black mark in the air. This was a magic item that was once forged by the Kun Peng. Although it was casually forged, it was still very powerful. The human figure was as fast as the wind. He took a few steps in the air and swept out with his full strength. He planned to fight Lin Mo head-on and injure both of them. ¡°You think I¡¯m afraid of you?¡± Lin Mo was furious. He could not care less about the crack between his thumb and index finger as he swept with all his strength again. The spear and the battle spear clashed, and sparks flew in all directions. The two violent and overbearing forces exploded, causing the entire mountain range to collapse. When this strike landed, smoke and dust rose in all directions, and the area within 500 kilometers turned into ruins. Lin Mo stood on a mountain peak, frowning. The hand that was holding the War Demon Spear was covered in blood. The other party¡¯s strength was on par with his, and neither of them had an easy time. Lin Mo silently circulated the Soul Devouring Art. He did not know why, but at this moment, he could use the God Devouring Body even more smoothly. When the smoke and dust dispersed, he found that the other party had also suffered serious injuries. Fresh blood flowed out, but it gave Lin Mo a very strange feeling. However, he could not explain it¡­ Nonetheless, this short exchange of blows proved one point. Their physical bodies were equal to their cultivation base. ¡°It¡¯s so strange. It doesn¡¯t seem to have a soul or¡­ Consciousness.¡± Lin Mo sized up the other party. He was healing his injuries, and the other party did not move when he did not attack. Chapter 681 - 681 Inner Demon Pearl 681 Inner Demon Pearl Lin Mo could feel that this guy was fighting him based on his instincts. He was even imitating him subconsciously. The head-on clash just now could prove this point. ¡°Pfft!¡± After recovering from his injuries, Lin Mo took the initiative to attack again. Spiritual Qi gushed out like a flood, supplementing the War Demon Spear and allowing it to advance at an extreme speed. The creature on the other side also attacked, raising its spear to block. Nonetheless, its injuries had not yet healed. This was the advantage of Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body. The two continued to clash head-on. At this point, Lin Mo finally figured out the other party¡¯s strength and concluded. ¡°It doesn¡¯t have any consciousness, but it can fight with people and even imitate them. What kind of living creature is it¡­?¡± Lin Mo squinted his eyes. He did not know what to do in this situation. He still did not know who was behind the scenes. The enemy at present was evenly matched with him. If he continued to fight with his physical body, it would only make him enter a prolonged battle. He was afraid that there would be changes¡­ ¡°Since it¡¯s a living being without consciousness, I¡¯ll quickly finish it off¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered as he raised his spear and attacked again. Without a doubt, that creature had only one attack method. The way it defended was the same as Lin Mo¡¯s¡ªit was imitating him. ¡°Nine Qilin Steps.¡± Lin Mo shouted. When the spear and the battle spear collided, he released his grip, and the War Demon Spear flew out. At the same time, a purple light flickered under his feet, and Qilin patterns suddenly condensed. Lin Mo took nine steps in the void and arrived in front of the living being. He took the last step. Unsurprisingly, this creature was imitating Lin Mo and attacked with its legs. Even so, the other party did not seem to know any martial arts. It did not even know how to use runes. It was just using its physical body to block the attack. ¡°Bang!¡± When the kick landed, the Qilin patterns exploded. One of the creature¡¯s legs was blasted into a bloody mess. That said, a horrifying scene happened. The damage from the explosion of the Qilin pattern did not appear as it was absorbed by the black light on the living being¡¯s body. All the runes Lin Mo used to attack were completely devoured at this moment. At the same time, the other party¡¯s spear thrust forward, causing Lin Mo a lot of trouble. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The scene in front of him had overturned everything he knew. What was that black light? It was so powerful. This defensive power was even more abnormal than his God Devouring Body. It devoured all the exploded runes. One had to know that this was the Nine Qilin Steps, one of the supreme magical powers of the ancient divine Qilin. There were only a handful of people at the same level as Lin Mo who could resist it. Even if they could resist it, they would not be like this, only suffering some superficial injuries¡­ ¡°I feel that I can¡¯t stay here for long¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s mind was racing. He had wanted to kill this creature and find out who was behind it. Now, he was a little worried that he would implicate Qilin in the system space. ¡°Pfft!¡± The creature attacked again. Lin Mo summoned his War Demon Spear and continued to face the enemy. This time, he did not use any martial arts. He continued to fight with his body. He did not take the initiative to attack either. They were in a stalemate. Nevertheless, what happened next once again overturned Lin Mo¡¯s understanding¡­ The mask on the creature¡¯s face cracked and fell off. What made it hard for him to calm down was that the living being he had been fighting with was himself. The spear in its hand turned into the War Demon Spear, and even its clothes were the same. An accident happened again. Black Qilin patterns appeared under the other party¡¯s feet, and it took nine steps. Lin Mo¡¯s pupils contracted as he took nine steps forward. This was the Nine Qilin Steps. When did his opponent learn it¡­? ¡°Boom!¡± Caught off guard, it was Lin Mo¡¯s turn to be attacked. In a moment of desperation, he activated the Abyssal Devouring. He circulated the Soul Devouring Art and used his God Devouring Body to resist the enemy¡¯s attacks. A black hole was formed as Lin Mo absorbed the spiritual Qi from all directions. The devouring range of the abyss expanded and enveloped the other party. ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t care where you learned it from. I¡¯ll break you up today. I don¡¯t believe you can¡¯t die.¡± Lin Mo bellowed and activated the spiritual Qi in his body. He activated the two killer moves, the Nine Qilin Steps and the Mismatched Yin Yang. At the same time, he was also preparing the Kun Peng symbols. The Hanging Wings on his back unfurled, and a golden light appeared. ¡°Golden Roc Divine Light.¡± The wings were golden when unfurled, and countless rays of golden light bloomed. This was the extreme Yang and unyielding law of the Kun Peng¡¯s technique. The power of extreme Yang burst forth, forming a divine light. This was a move that Lin Mo had recently comprehended. Lin Mo had used all his strength. This was the most powerful attack he could unleash. After he used it, he held the War Demon Spear and prepared to make the final attack. ¡°Boom!¡± Under the terrifying attack, the creature was sent flying. Its physical body was crushed by the Golden Roc Divine Light, but Lin Mo did not feel any soul fluctuations. There was a black pearl spinning around the creature¡¯s heart. Lin Mo saw the black light from before on the pearl. It was absorbing the attacks from the Mismatched Yin Yang and the Golden Roc Divine Light. He rushed forward and stabbed his spear down. He did not care. This was his strongest killing move. He could not allow his opponent to absorb it and imitate it¡­ ¡°Creak!¡± A crisp sound rang out. Lin Mo had succeeded. The War Demon Spear had hit the black pearl, and it instantly split into two. At the same time, the feeling that had been causing his heart to palpitate disappeared. The moment the pearl broke, everything seemed to return to its original state. Apart from the great battle, the entire mountain range was destroyed within 500 kilometers. There were no living beings left¡­ ¡°Perhaps all the secrets lie in you¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the black pearl that was floating in front of him. Although it had been broken into two pieces, he still did not dare to be careless. He took out the Qilin egg and put it into his storage bag before putting the pearl into the system space. The system space had a firm ability. Once it was expanded to the maximum, it should be able to identify anything¡­ As expected, a message appeared in the system space not long after. [The Inner Heart Pearl is a world magic tool. It has no origin or form but is born from the heart. Those who are killed by it will have their souls annihilated.] ¡°A world magic tool? Are you kidding me? How can a world magic tool be so vulnerable?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He knew that the black pearl was not simple, but he did not expect it to be a world magic tool that he had never heard of. Was it not the same as the Yin Yang Fruit, the most precious supreme treasure in the world¡­? [The Inner Demon Pearl has no origin or appearance. It is born from the heart, comes from the World Tree, and is carried by the Yin Yang Fruit. It is also the fruit¡¯s test for the host. You can live in peace after you discard it.] The system¡¯s introduction was very detailed, and it even told Lin Mo that he would encounter the Inner Demon Pearl in his future cultivation. If he did not want to encounter such a situation again, he could abandon the Yin Yang fruit and cut off the karma. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. How can I throw away a treasure that is in my hands?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Not only would he not throw it away, but he would also give the other one to Qilin¡­ ¡°On the other hand, little girl, you really worry me¡­¡± Lin Mo patted the storage bag at his waist. In order to see what was happening, Qilin had forcefully opened the Eye of Destiny. This was the most severe backlash, and it was life-threatening. ¡°It¡¯s time to look for Feng Tian and the others. They should have some divine medicines¡­¡± Chapter 682 - 682 Molin Chamber of Commerce 682 Molin Chamber of Commerce In order to see her fate, the Qilin had suffered a severe backlash, and she couldn¡¯t delay any longer. However, the ancient battlefield was huge. In order to avoid being found by her enemies, she could not reveal her identity. Hence, after searching for the whereabouts of Feng Tian and the others for half a month, she finally found the way. During this period, the Qilin¡¯s condition became more and more serious. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had obtained a few divine herbs from the system, she would have been able to stabilize it. At least, she was no longer a Qilin egg that could walk freely but not fight. ¡°The Molin Chamber of Commerce. So, Feng Tian and the others started it, huh? It¡¯s quite famous¡­¡± After leaving a small city, Lin Mo headed towards the location that he had found.¡±I¡¯m making progress, and so are the others. However, I don¡¯t know what level they¡¯ve reached.¡± Lin Mo really wanted to know why so many people were suppressing their strength and not making any breakthroughs just to enter the ancient battlefield. Now, what kind of opportunity had they obtained? What kind of land of treasures had appeared here? And his enemies, Gongsun Wenhao, and the others, what kind of movements were they making? ¡°However, the condition of Qilin¡¯s injuries can not be delayed any longer¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. According to the system, the Inner Demon Pearl had no origin or form and would continue to pester him. This made him hesitate as to whether he should give the Divine Fruit of Fate to the Qilin. It was too dangerous, and the inner demons that would be created were too difficult to deal with. They had the exact same combat strength as him. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, you seem to be hesitating.¡± Not far away, the Qilin slowly walked over. Her body was very weak, so she couldn¡¯t be as active as before. ¡°Do you still remember where you were born? After you meet up with Feng Tian and the others, you can go there.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart ached as he looked at the Qilin. ¡°It¡¯s very far from here, but I can sense it. Also, there¡¯s a medicinal garden that my mother planted inside. There must be more than one immortal medicine in there,¡± said the Qilin with certainty as it nodded. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. The Qilin¡¯s herb garden, especially one reserved for her daughter, had to be extraordinary. ¡°There¡¯s also the place where my mother meditated in seclusion. If you meditate there, you might be able to obtain a Qilin spell technique.¡± The land of treasures left behind by the ancient divine beast Qilin had to have endless opportunities, enough to make any force jealous. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. He would not trick the little Qilin into giving him any Qilin spell techniques. However, that didn¡¯t mean that he wasn¡¯t interested. Naturally, if it were possible, he would want this supreme inheritance. It would be great if the little Qilin¡¯s mother could pass it on to him. However, the Qilin¡¯s following words made his heart turn cold. How could the dojo of the divine beast Qilin not have any protection? With the Qilin around, the place was easy to find. However, that place was hidden in the void and protected by a world-shocking formation, so it was difficult for outsiders to enter. After all, it had originally been used to protect the little Qilin. Unfortunately, she had already come out¡­ Lin Mo sighed. He had to make a trip to that place and try his best. At the same time, Lin Mo thought of another problem. The ancient battlefield had existed for so many years, and there were countless demonic beasts and living beings of all races contained within it. ¡°Are there any sages-to-be on this battlefield? Or are there any experts above the sage-to-be, sages, or supreme sages?¡± ¡°Of course there are, but they would be in the deepest part of the forbidden areas. You¡¯ll be fine as long as you don¡¯t step in there,¡± said the Qiliin as she nodded and reassured Lin Mo so he wouldn¡¯t worry. The Hidden Dragon List had formed its own rules that restricted the ancient battlefield. To be exact, this place had already become a small world. The Hidden Dragon List was the spirit of this small world, and it had set up its own special rules. The opportunities inside had been left for future generations, so it would not be too difficult. ¡°How much longer can you last?¡± Lin Mo asked. In such a state, the Qilin¡¯s source of power was exhausted, and there was almost no spiritual energy left in its body. It was in urgent need of divine medicine to supplement it. ¡°If we don¡¯t fight, I can still hold on for another ten days.¡± Qilin made an estimation but felt that she was not afraid. She did not know why, but she felt especially at ease when she was by Lin Mo¡¯s side. She believed that this brother of hers would definitely be able to save her from danger. In fact, this was what Lin Mo had been worrying about the entire journey. As long as he saw a place where living beings gathered, he would go to the auction and use the return-profit godly medicine to treat the Qilin. ¡°Let¡¯s go. There¡¯s enough time. Let¡¯s go find Feng Tian and the others.¡± The Qilin turned into a little white beast and leaped into Lin Mo¡¯s arms. She couldn¡¯t fly now, so all she could do was let Lin Mo carry her. The ancient battlefield was a place where all living beings fought for supremacy, and many cities of various sizes were built during this period of time. Lin City had been built and promoted by Zhao Tianyu¡¯s many good friends through his own connections. Lin City had currently already become one of the most important cities on that ancient battlefield. Countless experts swarmed over, exchanging treasures and forming their own small groups. Lin Mo was shocked by the grand occasion. This was because the weakest one he saw was a stage five Almighty, which was the same realm as him. Nowadays, most of them were at the seventh level of power, and it was common to see them at the eighth level of power. In Lin City, there were all kinds of living beings. The streets were filled with shops that sold the treasures they had obtained. There were also people trading their own information, such as where there were treasure lands, where there were special demonic beasts, and so on. Seeing such a thriving scene, Lin Mo could not help but admire Zhao Tianyu¡¯s methods. With his management, the city would become more and more prosperous. As long as he was strong enough to protect the city, Lin City would be able to continue to exist¡­ The Molin Chamber of Commerce, huh? Perhaps, this Chamber of Commerce could continue to be established on the outside ¡­ Lin Mo was deep in thought. Zhao Tianyu had talent in this area and had already been able to rope in so many people. If he could just make an offer that he could not refuse, he might be able to make Zhao Tianyu stay¡­ ¡°They¡¯re really big. Those two guys really have some skills,¡± sighed the Qilin. She had transformed into her human form. Her face was still pale, but she couldn¡¯t help but come out at the sight of such a lively scene. At a glance, there were living beings everywhere. There were even guards on the city walls outside to prevent any beast tide attacks. ¡°It¡¯s said that there are many similar cities. The people of those major forces have built their own cities and gathered a large number of subordinates. Some people even joined forces and operated together within the city¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. The competition was still very intense. If he wanted to attract people, he would have to put in a lot of money. ¡°Lin City is very prosperous. If it continues to develop like this, it will probably catch up to the other nine ancient cities.¡± Walking along the road, the Qilin showed a rare smile on her face as she looked at the shops. Lin Mo also heard the comments from the many people around and sighed at the sight of the prosperity of Lin City. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be a little difficult. Although Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian are very strong, they¡¯re not the top powerhouses.¡± ¡°A while ago, a Rank 7 Heaven Class Divine Fruit was sold, and it was almost stolen during the auction. If it wasn¡¯t for Mu Yuzhu, I¡¯m afraid the reputation of the Molin Chamber of Commerce would have been destroyed.¡± Some people shook their heads, not feeling optimistic about Lin City and the Molin Chamber of Commerce. The people who had robbed the place at that time had been frightened by Mu Yuzhu¡¯s name and didn¡¯t dare to attempt any more robberies. But even so, the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡¯s reputation had been disgraced. Chapter 683 - 683 The Master of the Molin Chamber of Commerce 683 The Master of the Molin Chamber of Commerce After all, there was a lack of powerhouses in charge here, so it would be difficult for them to develop. ¡°Someone dared to attack this place?¡± Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but be furious. Who was the person who had attempted the attack? ¡°Brother, why are you so angry? Don¡¯t tell me you just joined the Molin Chamber of Commerce? It¡¯s a pity. This Chamber of Commerce has been doing well, but it doesn¡¯t have the protection of any top experts¡­¡± said someone said in a low voice. ¡°What kind of strength do they have? How dare they make a move?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Ten masters on the Hidden Dragon List, and their actual ranking could possibly be in the top hundred. What do you think of this strength, brother?¡± Lin Mo frowned. Ten masters? That was a huge number. Who could have recruited so many subordinates? Could it be the young Pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun? However, the result surprised Lin Mo. Xiao Yun had occupied an ancient city by himself, with many experts under him to help him collect cultivation resources. This matter had nothing to do with him. It was someone else who had acted. It had been a subordinate of another top-notch expert. ¡°The Molin Chamber of Commerce will be holding an auction in three days. The finale will be the Dragon Blood Grass, which is a thousand years old. ¡°There will also be divine powers and spell techniques. They¡¯re not of low grade. They can¡¯t be missed out on this time.¡± Not far away, someone could be heard shouting as they promoted the Molin Chamber of Commerce. ¡°Wow, Dragon Blood Grass¡­ I want it,¡± said the Qilin as she quickly came over to request for Lin Mo to get it. After all, this Chamber of Commerce belonged to them. Even the name belonged to them. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Just endure for three more days. I will make sure that your injuries are completely healed during this auction,¡± comforted Lin Mo. He did not go directly to look for Zhao Tianyu. Instead, he hid in the shadows with the Qilin. Time flew by, and eventually, the third day arrived. On this day, Lin City was very lively. There were many people who had come. In the center, there was a magnificent palace. A flag had been stuck at the highest point, and a pure white Qilin had been drawn on it. It looked noble and sacred. Zhao Tianyu had used the picture of the divine beast Qilin as a flag, which seemed auspicious. ¡°It¡¯s a really nice drawing,¡± laughed the Qilin. She was very satisfied with this flag. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll be in charge of this auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled. Although the Molin Chamber of Commerce was his, it had not been made public yet. Therefore, the treasures auctioned here would not be returned to him. However, things would be different after today. As long as he was still here, he would be able to get a return on all the treasures that were being auctioned here. Moreover, there were many treasures to be auctioned this time, so the Qilin¡¯s injuries would be healed immediately. ¡°Everyone, welcome to this auction. I am the manager of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Tianyu.¡± In the palace, the auction had just been prepared, and someone had arranged seats for Lin Mo and the Qilin. The walls of the palace had been engraved with patterns to protect the palace. At the same time, its purpose was also to prevent enemies from attacking from the inside. However, this level was not very useful against any top geniuses. It would be broken instantly. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Suddenly, behind the crowd, a large door was opened, and a group of people grandly walked in. There were three people in the lead, and they were very strong. They were on the same level as Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian. The young man at the very front stepped forward with his hands behind his back, his eyes emitting a cold light. Lin Mo took a look and recognized that it was a sub-dragon species. It belonged to the Earth Dragon lineage and was very talented. It was a Level 9 Almighty. There was a trace of the true dragon¡¯s bloodline in his body, and his combat power would be very strong after it was stimulated. ¡°Trouble is coming. How will Zhao Tianyu deal with it?¡± Lin Mo was not in a hurry to step forth because he could feel the aura of many experts. Besides, Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian should have made preparations. ¡°Zhao Tianyu, Lord Gongsun Wenhao admires your talent and wants to take over your Chamber of Commerce. Don¡¯t fail to appreciate it.¡± That person was very arrogant. As he looked at Zhao Tianyu, the group of experts behind him also took out their magical artifacts. The threat was obvious, and the pressure on Zhao Tianyu¡¯s end increased sharply. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, the Molin Chamber of Commerce already has an owner and those two will come here to take over this place in a while.¡± Zhao Tianyu sighed. It was too difficult for him to defend the place without a top-tier expert. ¡°It¡¯s Gongsun Wenhao, he¡¯s an annoying fellow,¡± whispered the Qilin. She had been chased by this person for the longest time, so he was the one she felt the most hostility towards. ¡°They have already started. Mao Zhu1 is here too, but she can¡¯t come¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a deep voice. The other party was prepared. Five experts had come, but two of them had not appeared. Feng Tian and Mao Zhu were both tied down, and only Zhao Tianyu could step forward at the front desk. ¡°Are you going to make a move?¡± The Qilin asked. ¡°You eat this first.¡± Lin Mo took out a divine fruit, which was the last thing he had in stock. Although it wouldn¡¯t allow the Qilin to recover her fighting strength, she would have no problem protecting herself for a short period of time. Moreover, if she didn¡¯t make a move, no one would attack her blindly. ¡°Those of you with no business here, hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± When Lin Mo stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. The young man shouted coldly and threatened Lin Mo. ¡°Hehe, this Molin Chamber of Chamber belongs to me. How can you say I have no business here?¡± Lin Mo laughed. ¡°A mighty Level 5 and a Level 8. Are you still living in your own world without knowing the immensity of the heavens and earth?¡± The young man said coldly. With a wave of his hand, four Level 8 Almighty masters walked out. ¡°Lin Mo¡­¡± On the stage, Zhao Tianyu was taken aback. When he saw Lin Mo and Qilin appear, his anxious heart finally settled down. Now that these two had come, there was no need for him to do anything. ¡°Do you have a death wish¡­?¡± said Lin Mo indifferently. He looked at the four people walking over with disdain. ¡°Break his limbs and throw him out.¡± After the young man finished speaking, he stopped looking at Lin Mo and turned to look at Zhao Tianyu instead. ¡°Bang!¡± However, just as he turned his head, he heard a loud noise and the four people he sent immediately fell to the ground. With the War Demon Spear in Lin Mo¡¯s hand, its terrifying power made them lose their fighting strength. At the same time, he instantly appeared in front of the young man and suppressed him. He raised his hand and gave him a few big slaps. Everyone was shocked as they looked at the scene in front of them. ¡°You¡¯re very bold,¡± said the young man angrily. At the same time, he was also shocked. This spear was so terrifying that he could not even put up any resistance¡­ ¡°Slap!¡± What he received in response was a slap that left a bright red mark. Lin Mo attacked again and suppressed the other two. Lin Mo smacked the three people¡¯s faces ruthlessly. He hadn¡¯t even smacked them more than a few times, but their teeth flew out along with foamy blood, and their cheeks were red and swollen. ¡°I¡¯ve always been bold. You guys, however, you¡¯re not strong enough, yet you still dare to be so arrogant.¡± The three of them tried to resist, but Lin Mo suppressed them with the War Demon Spear again until they were severely injured. This scene stunned everyone, including Zhao Tianyu who was on the stage. He had thought that Lin Mo would have to go through a huge battle before he could finish off all three people in front of him. Who would have thought that such overwhelming power would make him doubt if what Lin Mo had said about the 70% combat power was true¡­ ¡°B*stard, who are you? We are the battle generals under Lord Gongsun Wenhao.¡± The three of them spat out a mouthful of blood as they spoke angrily. They wanted to fight back, but their bones had been broken by the War Demon Spear. They had no way to fight back. Chapter 684 - 684 Auctioning Immortal Treasures 684 Auctioning Immortal Treasures ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you. How dare you insult me like this?¡± ¡°D*mn it, what kind of skill do you need just to rely on the power of a magic weapon?¡± The three of them cursed loudly, no longer as calm as before. Their words were full of vulgarities, only just stopping short of cursing Lin Mo¡¯s ancestors. Unfortunately, the only response they got was another slap from Lin Mo. Lin Mo only stopped when all three of their faces had been badly beaten. ¡°All three of you are idiots. Gongsun Wenhao and I are old friends, yet you don¡¯t know that.¡± He smiled as he stood with the Qilin and looked at the others. The experts who had been brought here to cause trouble also had bitter expressions on their faces. The three strongest people had been crushed, so how could they be a match for him? ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo ruthlessly kicked the three of them off the stage and handed them over to Zhao Tianyu. ¡°Since there are so many people here, I have something to announce.¡± As for the others, he didn¡¯t make things difficult for them. All he did was take all of their treasures and spiritual stones before letting them leave. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Mo, and this is Qilin, the true owners of the Mo Lin Chamber of Commerce. If you come here to look for trouble in the future, then you should be prepared to leave your life behind.¡± As soon as he said that, an instant recollection came to some people who were feeling confused. A few of them took out a scroll, on which a wanted order for Lin Mo and Qilin had been written. Everyone present was shocked and couldn¡¯t believe it. The first of the Hidden Dragon List, the daughter of the ancient divine beast Qilin, the only divine beast left in the world, and the auspicious White Qilin. The other one was just as terrifying, ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon List, one of the strongest body types of the human race, the God Devourer Body. It was an invincible physique that had not appeared in countless years. There was no doubt about his combat power. However, in the beginning, people had seen that Lin Mo¡¯s level was too weak, so they had not even thought that he was Lin Mo even though he looked familiar. By the looks of it, the God Devourer Body was indeed slow to cultivate, but its combat strength was definitely at the peak of the same rank. ¡°Brother Lin, how should we deal with these three?¡± On the stage, Zhao Tianyu ruthlessly kicked the three of them a few times to vent his anger. The others didn¡¯t have high enough status, so it didn¡¯t matter whether they were released or not. However, they couldn¡¯t do the same with these three people. They were Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s generals. Letting them go would be equivalent to letting a tiger return to the mountain. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just wait for me.¡± Lin Mo smiled and walked backstage. A terrifying energy fluctuation began to spread. A moment later, Lin Mo walked out, bringing two young men with him. Feng Tian and Mao Zhu followed behind. They were both shocked as they looked at Lin Mo. Even with the help of the War Demon Spear, it was still shocking to them that he was able to suppress the two of them so easily. ¡°Detain them. Let Gongsun Wenhao bring the divine medicine to personally redeem them.¡± He was not in the mood to deal with this matter. Qilin¡¯s injury was still waiting to be dealt with, which was the most important thing. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, I will be the host of the next auction.¡± After calming the crowd down, Lin Mo took the auction hammer from Zhao Tianyu¡¯s hands. It had to be said that Zhao Tianyu had made very good arrangements. He had hired a group of people with low talent and strength to protect them and asked them to provide assistance. A maidservant walked forward, bearing a silver plate that was covered with a red cloth. It was exactly the same as a regular auction house. However, if this maidservant were in the outside world, she could also become a genius disciple of a small force¡­ ¡°The first item is Cloud-Patterned Gold, which can be used to forge heaven-level magic weapons. It¡¯s very rare. ¡°The starting price is one million upper spiritual stones.¡± Although there had been some diversions, the appearance of Lin Mo and Qilin had livened up the atmosphere. After all, the two of them were quite famous. ¡°One million and five hundred thousand.¡± ¡°One million seven hundred thousand.¡± The Cloud-Patterned Gold was considered a high-quality material for forging magic weapons, so many people were fighting for it. Those who were gifted in blacksmithing, in particular, started bidding. In the end, this piece of Cloud-Patterned Gold was sold for a high price of 3.2 million, which was quite a fortune. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the forging material, the Cloud-Patterned Gold. ] [Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction interest rebate] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining the forging material, Heavenly Profound Dao Copper] Lin Mo was not interested in these materials at all. After all, he did not forge weapons, unless it was an immortal-grade material. The maidservant walked off the stage with the silver plate, and the next maidservant came up. A faint fragrance after through the air. Lin Mo removed the red cloth to reveal a piece of blood-red ginseng quietly lying there. Even the leaves on it were red. ¡°Blood Yang Ginseng is a great supplement for pure yang. It can purify one¡¯s body and remove impurities. Body cultivators shouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction when he saw the ginseng. The Qilin needed this kind of spirit medicine now. After the rebate, he could send the treasures to the Qilin. ¡°Level 9 Earth-class Blood Yang Ginseng, starting price, five million upper spiritual stones.¡± Although the Blood Yang Ginseng wasn¡¯t a rare item, it wasn¡¯t a bad item. Moreover, everyone present was a genius. They would more or less involve forging their bodies to make their physical bodies stronger. Therefore, this caused many people to fight for this Blood Yang Ginseng. The starting price of five million was raised to eight million in just three minutes. ¡°Eight million going once. Is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo struck the auction hammer once. Seeing that no one was bidding, he struck the hammer again. ¡°Eight million going twice¡­¡± ¡°I bid 8.5 million.¡± At this moment, a young man stood up and raised the bid by another fifty thousand. Hearing this, a brawny man sitting in front was very unhappy. He turned around and glared at the young man. ¡°No fighting is allowed in the auction.¡± Lin Mo gave them a timely reminder since all these geniuses were unruly so that the Qilin¡¯s treatment would not be delayed. ¡°Hmph,¡± snorted the brawny man coldly and sat back down. Ultimately, that man did not bid again. ¡°8.5 million thrice, sold.¡± [Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 9 Earth-class Spirit Herb, Blood Yang Ginseng.] [Successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest rebate] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 2 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Pure Yang Blood Ginseng.] [Level 2 Heaven-glass, Pure Yang Blood Ginseng. Its medicinal effect is similar to the Blood Yang Ginseng, but it is more than ten times stronger.] Lin Mo could not wait to let the Qilin eat it. As he beckoned for the next maid to come up, he took out a scroll and a burning flame. ¡°Heaven-grade Level 9 Fire Attribute skill, plus an Immortal Grade treasure, the Scarlet Heaven Fire Seed, now for auction¡­¡± He took out the treasure that he had previously snatched from Zhao Tianyu and put it up for auction, causing a stir in the auction house. ¡°How is this possible? It¡¯s a Level 9 Heaven-grade cultivation skill!¡± ¡°Forget about the cultivation technique, it¡¯s even a Heaven-grade one, but what the hell is that Immortal-grade treasure?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Everyone was dumbfounded. How could they possibly afford a treasure of this level? If anyone were to really get it, they would probably become a public enemy and be hunted down by people all over the world. They did not have the terrifying combat power of the Qilin and Lin Mo. Moreover, even Lin Mo and Qilin had to keep their tails between their legs when facing experts above the sage-to-be level. Therefore, even if Lin Mo were to auction it, not many people would want it. ¡°Fellow Daoist Lin Mo, are you really going to auction this treasure?¡± At the very front, a young man stood up. His eyes were red and he was drooling. Chapter 685 - 685 The Nine Phoenix Fire Technique 685 The Nine Phoenix Fire Technique ¡°That¡¯s right. If you can pay the price, you can take it away. Moreover, I¡¯ll also ensure your safety in Lin City.¡± Lin Mo solemnly made that vow. As for whether he could buy it or not, that would depend on his ability. ¡°Tell me the price. I¡¯ll thank you on behalf of my master,¡± said the young man. At the same time, there were a few other powerful warriors that were not far away. They were all extraordinary, and they were all ranked in the Hidden Dragon List. In the past, they had thought highly of themselves and felt that they could rule the world in this ancient battlefield. In the end, they had been defeated and become someone else¡¯s subordinate¡­ ¡°The starting price is 100 million upper spiritual stones¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. A Level 9 Heaven-class skill would usually never be sold at this price, not to mention that there was an Immortal-grade treasure. ¡°I¡¯ll pay two hundred million.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bid three hundred million¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction house was filled with the sounds of bidding. Two hundred million upper spiritual stones, that was the price of a tier-four divine medicine. It was truly a bargain to be able to buy immortal treasures. It was a pity that the price reached one billion after only a few random bids. This scene shocked everyone. There were three people bidding, two of them were from the Hidden Dragon List, and they had extraordinary combat strength. However, some time ago there had been rumors that they had been defeated and taken in as subordinates to work for that supreme expert until they left the ancient battlefield. However, the third person left everyone scratching their heads. That person¡¯s cultivation level couldn¡¯t be seen clearly, and he had a black robe wrapped around him. No matter how much the other two raised the price, he would add another 100 million. There was not even a trace of hesitation, as if money was no object at all. Lin Mo looked over and saw that the person was one of Zhao Tianyu¡¯s clansmen. He was the one who had arranged it. ¡°Cough, cough, is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± The current bid was from Zhao Tianyu¡¯s clansman. At 1.7 billion, it was too high. The forces behind them could afford it, and yet, it also didn¡¯t mean that they could afford it too. Even if they found many spirit mines on the ancient battlefield, it would still be far from enough. Unless it was a Supreme grade ore vein, this kind of ore vein was comparable to an immortal treasure and was extremely difficult to find. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, we can offer a higher price. If you allow me to write you an IOU, I swear that I will pay you back,¡± said the young man who had just stood up. Immortal treasures were hard to find, especially Heaven-class Level 9 cultivation techniques. This was even more precious, and he was resolved to get it no matter what. In fact, they had even thought of snatching it away. If Zhao Tianyu had still been hosting the auction, they might really have snatched it away. Unfortunately, the owners of the Molin Chamber of Commerce were Lin Mo and Qilin. Lin Mo alone was enough to compete with the adults behind them, not to mention Qilin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t accept IOUs. If the two of you can¡¯t offer a higher price, then I can only apologize¡­¡± said Lin Mo as he shook his head. This item belonged to Zhao Tianyu, so he would definitely not let it be auctioned off to these guys. ¡°1.7 billion going once¡­¡± He struck the auction hammer three times in succession before the deal was sealed. Only then did Zhao Tianyu, who was backstage, let out a sigh of relief. He had not lost his family¡¯s inherited cultivation technique and treasures. At least, he had not become a sinner. Lin Mo was no longer in the mood to host the auction as he had to settle the matter of healing the Qilin. Since Mao Zhu was there, he believed that no one would dare to cause any trouble. ¡°Strange, where¡¯s the system¡¯s rebate treasure?¡± After going backstage, Lin Mo returned the Sacred Fire Mantra and the Scarlet Heaven Fire Seed to Zhao Tianyu. However, the system still didn¡¯t give him the rebate treasure, which made him anxious. No matter what, it was still an immortal treasure. It would be a pity if he didn¡¯t receive a return. ¡°Is it because no money was paid¡­¡± Sighing silently, Lin Mo looked at the happy Zhao Tianyu and said, ¡°Well, the 1.7 billion upper spiritual stones, do you actually have it?¡± Hearing this, Zhao Tianyu was shocked. He looked at Lin Mo and sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t have that many spiritual stones on me.¡± He was not surprised by this. Lin Mo was an itinerant cultivator and had probably never seen such a large number of spiritual stones. It was understandable for him to have asked for it, so Zhao Tianyu said, ¡°I¡¯ll write you an IOU. You can collect it from my house after you leave the ancient battlefield. ¡°I can swear that my clansmen will not make things difficult for you.¡± His words still carried a lot of weight in the family. After all, the family had even given him the only immortal treasure. They were treating him as the next inheritor. Even the current clan leader had to take his words into consideration. ¡°Alright, write me an IOU then. If you work for me, I¡¯ll reduce the amount as I see fit.¡± Lin Mo nodded. In the face of these immortal treasures, there was no need for him to stand on ceremony. Finally, when he took the IOU from Zhao Tianyu¡¯s hand, the system¡¯s voice finally came. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 9 Heaven-class Cultivation Method, ¡°The Sacred Flame Technique¡±.] [ Since this auction has incurred a huge loss, the system will compensate you and obtain 100000 times the auction interest. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Celestial-grade Cultivation Technique, ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡± ] ¡°It¡¯s here¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. A fiery red book appeared in the system space. It was very thick and was surrounded by flames. The flames gradually took form and finally turned into an actual phoenix. It carried the book as it flew into the system space. ¡°Could this be a cultivation technique that was born out of the true phoenix¡¯s sorcery?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The system¡¯s return-interest treasures were usually more or less related to the treasures being auctioned. If that was the case, then the Sacred Flame Technique of Zhao Tianyu¡¯s family was probably related to the legendary true phoenix. ¡°Unfortunately, I can¡¯t cultivate it¡­¡± He sighed. He could feel how high the quality of the Nine Phoenix Fire Technique was. Unfortunately, he could only cultivate the God Slayer Technique. Only then could he control the God Slayer Body and prevent it from devouring his life force. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the immortal treasure, the Scarlet Heaven Fire Seed. ] [ The system is compensating for the heavy losses incurred during the auction, triggering a return-interest rate of 100000 times. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an immortal-grade treasure, Nirvana Phoenix Fire. ] A ball of crimson flames burned fiercely, taking up a large area of the system space. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the space had already expanded to its maximum, it probably wouldn¡¯t be able to contain this ball of flame. ¡°It seems like there¡¯s no such thing as the first to ninth level in this immortal grade treasure¡­¡± Although it was still divided into strong and weak, there was no actual level. They were just collectively called immortal¡­ He carefully read the system space¡¯s introduction to this Nirvana Phoenix Fire and could not help but jump in shock. [ Nirvana Phoenix Fire is the flame left behind by the ancient divine beast true phoenixes or true phoenixes after they were reborn. It¡¯s capable of burning mountains, boiling seas, and destroying the heavens and earth. ] if you fuse it with your physical body and use it with a cultivation technique related to the phoenix, you can refine it and greatly improve your talent and aptitude. [ If you completely merge with it, you will be reborn and have unparalleled talent. ] After reading the introduction, Lin Mo was both shocked and disappointed. By the looks of it, he could not use it. It could only be cultivated with a cultivation technique related to the true phoenix. For example, Zhao Tianyu¡¯s Sacred Flame Technique and the Nine Phoenix Fire Technique that he had just obtained. ¡®However, it¡¯s alright. The compensation I promised Song Lianxue can be realized.¡± He had never been stingy with his friends, and if it weren¡¯t for Song Lianxue¡¯s death exemption talisman that day, he would probably already be dead. Not to mention the two treasures, the Yin Yang Fruit and the Fruit of Fate. Moreover, Song Lianxue had taken good care of the Qilin when she lost her ability to fight. She had even called her good friend, Mao Zhu, to protect her. It was enough to do this¡­ Chapter 686 - 686 Song Lianxues Opportunity 686 Song Lianxue¡¯s Opportunity [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 9 Earth-grade Spiritual Herb, Mysterious Jade Grass. [Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction interest return] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 3 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Mysterious Life Spirit Grass. ] Just then, the system beeped again. The auction was in full swing. Without wasting any more time, he let Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian hold the fort while he went to find the Qilin. At this moment, the latter was chatting with Song Lianxue, and their laughter echoed in the room. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, aren¡¯t you the host of the auction?¡± Seeing Lin Mo, Qilin and Song Lianxue quickly stood up. ¡°Don¡¯t move, eat these and quickly cultivate them to heal your injuries.¡± Lin Mo took out the auction rebate treasures. The Mysterious Life Spirit Grass and Pure Yang Blood Ginseng were all great tonics. ¡°Wow, a divine medicine.¡± The Qilin wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth and ate the Mysterious Life Spirit Grass in two or three bites. Then, she took a bite of the Pure Yang Blood Ginseng and swallowed the scarlet liquid that flowed out. ¡°It¡¯s sweet, but it smells like blood¡­¡± After she finished eating the two divine herbs, there was a lingering aftertaste in her mouth and she concluded that the Mysterious Life Spirit Grass was the more delicious out of the two¡­ ¡°Hurry up and cultivate it¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed, as Qilin¡¯s injuries gradually recovered. At the very least, her adorable little face had already become rosy and was no longer pale.

The divine fruit was also extraordinary. It was a Pseudo Dragon Fruit that contained a trace of dragon qi. If it were to be sold to any sub-dragon species, they would be willing to exchange a Level 6 Heaven class Divine Herb for it. ¡°It looks like digestion is almost complete. Eat this Pseudo Dragon Fruit.¡± He took a look at the Qilin. The medicinal power in her body had already been cultivated and used to make up for the damage to her origin and soul. When the Pseudo Dragon Fruit was taken out, the three of them could faintly hear a dragon¡¯s roar, which demonstrated the value of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. ¡°That¡¯s great¡­¡± The Qilin cheered and jumped on the sofa. It ate the fruit in two to three bites without wasting a single bit. The divine fruit she ate this time was so powerful that she had no choice but to sit cross-legged as she started the cultivating process. Once Lin Mo felt that Qilin¡¯s aura had grown stronger, he was completely relieved. ¡°Miss Song, what do you think of the Snow Valley?¡± He said as he looked at Song Lianxue. Hearing this, Song Lianxue froze and looked at Lin Mo in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s neither good nor bad. Although they didn¡¯t give me any special treatment, they still provided me with shelter¡­¡± She still had a sense of belonging to Snow Valley. After all, the Song family had been disciples of the Snow Valley for generations. However, survival of the fittest was inevitable even for the same force. What she was worried about now was that when she went back, people would find out that she had lost the Immunity Talisman which would cause the Song family¡¯s status to plummet. When that time came, she would probably have to die to atone for her sins¡­ ¡°Then what is the highest level cultivation technique in the Snow Valley?¡± Lin Mo questioned her further. Although it was impolite to ask this way, he wanted to compare the Snow Valley¡¯s legacy-level cultivation technique with the ¡± Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±. ¡°Quasi-immortal level, the ¡°Great Frost Sealing Scripture¡±. It was created by the first master of Snow Valley and has continued to this day.¡± Snow Valley had once been a top-notch force, but it was a pity that it was getting weaker by the day. Currently, in Snow Valley, only the current master of Snow Valley and the Dao protectors had learned the ¡°Great Frost Sealing Technique¡±. Even the Holy Daughters of Snow Valley had only cultivated the simplified version of the ice-sealing technique, which had been practiced by many generations of Snow Valley masters. ¡°It¡¯s a little too sloppy. The gap is a little too big. Even the Holy Daughters of Snow Valley can¡¯t comprehend the quasi-immortal level¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. It was so difficult to cultivate to the quasi-immortal level. Would Song Lianxue be capable of mastering the ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±? ¡°I have an opportunity here. If you succeed, you will be the next master of Snow Valley. ¡°Of course, if you fail, all I can do would be to save your life. You will have to become an ordinary person for the rest of your life¡­¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo activated the abyss to the Devouring skill in his room. The God Devouring Body¡¯s overbearing power spread out and covered the entire room to prevent people from hearing through the walls. ¡°Brother Lin, are you serious?¡± Song Lianxue was shocked and immediately stood up, her face filled with excitement. Because of her talent, her cultivation had fallen too far behind. Even though she was now a Level five Almighty like Lin Mo, how could the two of them be compared? ¡°Look at this.¡± Lin Mo took out a fiery-red book. It was the ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±. ¡°This is an immortal level cultivation technique, the ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±. It was created based on the true phoenix¡¯s technique. Although it¡¯s not as good as the true inheritance cultivation technique of the true phoenix, it¡¯s still extraordinary. ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you, but how much you can understand will depend on your luck¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. If even he couldn¡¯t understand the ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±, then they should just forget about the ¡°Nirvana Phoenix Fire¡±. Giving it to her would only harm her life. ¡°How profound¡­¡± Song Lianxue accepted it but after a glance, she was at a loss¡­ She found herself immersed in it, unable to extricate herself. She was surrounded by a series of obscure runes. The blazing flames that had been released startled the Qilin, who had just finished cultivating. ¡°This is an immortal-grade cultivation technique. It¡¯s not advanced, but it¡¯s still extraordinary¡­ The Qilin was intelligent and could see the clues at a glance. It sensed the shadow of the true phoenix¡¯s spell technique. ¡°Where did you get this¡­¡± she said as she looked at Lin Mo. It couldn¡¯t have been Song Lianxue¡¯s, and with the devouring abyss covering the room, she immediately guessed that it was Lin Mo¡¯s doing. ¡°Take it, but keep it a secret¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile and shook his head as he handed a few divine fruits to the Qilin. ¡°Transformation Grass, Jasper Fruit, and a bunch of Drunken Cloud Fruits. Have you emptied our Chamber of Commerce¡¯s treasure vault?¡± The Qilin was pleasantly surprised. Without much care over Lin Mo¡¯s secret any longer, it grabbed a Drunken Cloud Fruit and ate it. ¡°Get closer to her and share some of your aura with her¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. With Qilin by her side, Song Lianxue¡¯s chances of understanding the technique would probably increase by 10%¡­ ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve already helped as much as I can. Whether you can take the Nirvana Phoenix Fire from my hands will depend on your ability¡­¡± He had already tried his best. If he wanted to become an expert, he couldn¡¯t just rely on the help of others. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 1 Heaven realm Divine Fruit, Telekinesis Fruit. ] [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Fifth-order Heaven¡¯s Secrets Divine Fruit, Fruit of Enlightenment. ] The system notifications continued. There were many treasures being auctioned off. Whenever it came to any Divine medicines, Lin Mo tossed them all to the Qilin. Within such a short period of time, she had already eaten more than thirty divine fruits and more than ten divine herbs. Even those in the top forces would have to dig up an entire medicinal field just to obtain these. Disciples who were not at the level of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters could not enjoy such treatment. ¡°Wait, is this the Fruit of Enlightenment?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had only just handed it over to Qilin, but he quickly snatched it back in the next moment. ¡°What? You gave it all to me.¡± The Qilin looked at Lin Mo with her big, watery eyes. It had already been in her hands, how could he take it back¡­ ¡°This is the Fruit of Enlightenment. It¡¯ll be a waste if you eat it¡­¡± Sighing, Lin Mo looked at Song Lianxue, who was frowning. Could this be her chance? It was difficult to comprehend cultivation techniques, but now that she had obtained a Dao-understanding fruit¡­ ¡°Both you and Mao Zhu are not ungrateful people. You¡¯ll be worth my investment.¡± Chapter 687 - 687 The Lilies of My Hometown Have Bloomed 687 The Lilies of My Hometown Have Bloomed After making his decision, he tossed the Fruit of Enlightenment, passed through the flames, and arrived in front of Song Lianxue. Dully, the latter took it and took a bite. In the next moment, her dazed eyes instantly lit up, and the runes around her became much more intense. ¡°Sister Song, you¡¯re so lucky. Quickly search and see if there¡¯s anything suitable¡­¡± The Qilin happily clapped her hands. With the help of the Fruit of Enlightenment, Song Lianxue¡¯s chances of understanding this technique should be 50%. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s just wait for her to finish eating the Fruit of Enlightenment.¡± Lin Mo was happy for Song Lianxue as well. She had finally turned the page after studying it for so long. It was truly not an easy process. However, it was obvious that there were no more rebate treasures left. This was because the auction had already reached the climax, and everything had already been successfully auctioned off. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 4 Heaven-rank Divine Medicine, Dragon¡¯s Blood Grass. ] [Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-class Divine Medicine, Dragon Soul Grass. The Dragon Soul Grass wasn¡¯t of much help to one¡¯s comprehension of fire-based cultivation techniques. Its only function was to repair one¡¯s damaged soul and physical body. It had the same medicinal effect as the Dragon¡¯s Blood Grass, but it was stronger. There was no doubt that this would be suitable for the Qilin. He took it out and let the Qilin eat it so that it could completely heal its injuries. ¡°None?¡± The Qilin was a little disappointed. A 50% chance was still too low for Song Lianxue, and it was probably still too difficult for her to comprehend¡­ ¡°Go ahead and cultivate. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Urging the Qilin to start cultivating, Lin Mo kept an eye on Song Lianxue to prevent any accidents from happening. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. Song Lianxue had already eaten half of the Fruit of Enlightenment that was in her hand. However, she had only read a dozen pages of the ¡± Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±. Although she had already reached the rudiments, it was far from enough. In order to reach the standard of containing the Nirvana Phoenix Fire, the minimum requirement was cultivation. It didn¡¯t require any proficiency in control, but just mastering it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Song Lianxue. ¡°Bang! Bang! Bang!¡± Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Mao Zhu¡¯s voice came from outside. ¡°Lin Mo, where¡¯s Little Xue? How is she? You¡¯ve kept your door closed for half a month. Outside the door, Mao Zhu was feeling very anxious. There had been no news for half a month, and she was worried. Even though Lin Mo had promised that she was fine, she was still worried. ¡°You may enter.¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He opened the door slightly to let Mao Zhu in before quickly closing it. ¡°What is this?¡± As soon as she entered, Mao Zhu saw Qilin and Song Lianxue, who were in the middle of cultivating. Song Lianxue, in particular, was holding a book that was on fire and reading it with great interest. ¡°What a mystical cultivation technique. It definitely surpasses the Great Frost Sealing Scripture of the Snow Valley. What? ¡± Mao Zhu noticed the clue with a glance. At the same time, she also noticed Song Lianxue¡¯s predicament. She didn¡¯t have enough talent and talent, so even with the Fruit of Enlightenment, it was difficult for her to comprehend it. ¡°I tried my best to make up for her Immunity Talisman, but¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled bitterly. He had tried everything he could, but it seemed like Song Lianxue was going to fail. ¡°This technique of yours lacks a medium, so she won¡¯t be able to understand it. Give her another chance, and I¡¯ll definitely help her find a treasure that can help her transform her body.¡± Mao Zhu begged Lin Mo to give Song Lianxue another chance. For the sake of her good friend, he was willing to give it a try. She was willing to venture into the forbidden zones known as the deadmire. Only the treasures there could allow Song Lianxue to be reborn and her life to rise. ¡°Are you not afraid of death?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. The two of them had such a good relationship that they were willing to take risks for each other¡­ ¡°There¡¯s an elder in Snow Valley who has a very strong opinion of me. Song Lianxue¡¯s words carry little weight and she doesn¡¯t have any status in Snow Valley. The main reason she wants to become stronger is because of me¡­ ¡°If I can help her, what¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Mao Zhu looked at Song Lianxue and smiled gently. Lin Mo watched this scene with a strange expression on his face. The relationship between the two of them had probably surpassed that of a platonic friendship¡­ ¡°What are you looking at? Is it because you like her? I¡¯m telling you, she won¡¯t like you back.¡± Mao Zhu glared at Lin Mo with a fierce expression on her face as she stood in front of Song Lianxue to protect her friend. ¡°Cough, cough¡­ It¡¯s nothing.¡± Lin Mo coughed and took out an item from the system space. It was a ball of burning flames. As soon as it appeared, it was revealed to be a true phoenix that had taken form. It rushed toward Song Lianxue uncontrollably. ¡°A rare immortal treasure¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± It was Mao Zhu¡¯s turn to be stunned. She looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. ¡°This item will allow her to be reborn and is the most suitable for this cultivation technique. Unfortunately¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that her body is weak and can¡¯t withstand this kind of flame¡­¡± Mao Zhu spotted the problem at a glance. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness. It was too difficult for an ordinary person to become a master. ¡°You can help her and bear half of her pain. At the same time, you can also benefit.¡± Lin Mo spoke up as he suggested a dangerous method. This was what he had thought of in the past ten days. Without a cultivation technique, Song Lianxue wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. If someone could help her bear it, it would greatly increase the success rate of the fusion. Of course, if he couldn¡¯t even withstand half of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire¡¯s power, then he would only end up dead. Not only would Song Lianxue die, but the person who had helped her bear the pain would also die. This ball of Nirvana Phoenix Fire would also completely dissipate. ¡°You can help her cultivate but it might be at the cost of your life. You¡¯ll live and die together from now on. How about it?¡± Lin Mo looked at Mao Zhu. The relationship between these two was not ordinary so this method might work. However, the price was also very heavy. The two friends he had just made would have to leave this world¡­ ¡°This immortal treasure will also dissipate because of this. Are you really willing to part with it?¡± Mao Zhu asked. ¡°I, Lin mo, have always been extremely generous to my friends.¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had already gotten the answer from Mao Zhu¡¯s eyes and was not surprised by her choice. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Mao Zhu smiled lightly and began to recite her heart technique. Without much hesitation, she took the Nirvana Phoenix Fire and swallowed it. ¡°Swish!¡± In an instant, the Nirvana Phoenix Fire erupted, and the terrifying flames spewed out. If Lin Mo had not confined it, the whole of Lin City would have been turned into ashes¡­ Song Lianxue, who had been in the middle of cultivating, came to a sudden realization. She swallowed the Fruit of Enlightenment and hugged Mao Zhu. As the flames spread, the two figures were covered by the flames, and Mao Zhu¡¯s painful groans could be heard from time to time. ¡°You should also try to comprehend this cultivation technique. It¡¯s an immortal-grade cultivation technique after all. You¡¯ll be able to use it to re-cultivate¡­¡± Lin Mo reminded Mao Zhu to grab the opportunity since it was a great opportunity. The excitement of the day did not stop there. In the evening, the Qilin, which had been quiet all this time, suddenly opened its eyes. An earth-shattering roar shook the whole of Lin City. Heaven and earth shook, and a Holy Qilin mark appeared in the sky, displaying auspiciousness¡­ ¡°The Nine Heavens of the Almighty¡­ No wonder it took so long. He¡¯s actually breaking through¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely envious. He was still stuck at the fifth layer of the Almighty realm and could not find the opportunity to break through¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Mo, what are they doing¡­ What happened?¡± The Qilin, who had just woken up, asked curiously when he saw Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue being wrapped in flames. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo covered Qilin¡¯s eyes and turned her around. He could not lead the child astray¡­ ¡°It¡¯s nothing. The lilies of my hometown have bloomed¡­¡± Chapter 688 - 688 A Robbery 688 A Robbery Lin Mo was unable to help as he looked at the two people who were suffering in the fire. If he successfully managed to cultivate the technique and failed to merge, he would still be able to use the overbearing power of the God Devouring Body to swallow the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. However, it was no longer possible now. Once these two people could not take it anymore, there would be nothing left¡­ ¡°I also have to make good use of my time to cultivate¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He didn¡¯t know what cultivation realm Gongsun Wenhao and the others were at, but they might have already tried to break through to the king tier. He didn¡¯t have much time left. He needed to gather cultivation resources as soon as possible. In Lin City, Lin Mo patrolled around and collected several auction-worthy treasures for the next auction. When he returned to the palace of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Tianyu came up to greet him. ¡°How¡¯s everything?¡± Lin Mo said unhurriedly. ¡°Everything¡¯s been properly arranged. As soon as the news of you and Qilin¡¯s closed-door training spread, they fled.¡± Zhao Tianyu was puzzled. ¡°Are you trying to follow them to find out where Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s hideout is?¡± This would not work. Those top geniuses were all very smart. He would surely not make it so easy for outsiders to find out where he was. Even if they needed cultivation resources, they would personally come to get them without allowing anyone to follow them. ¡°Who said I was looking for Gongsun Wenhao¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously and told Zhao Tianyu to manage the Chamber of Commerce well. He then turned into a stream of light and disappeared. In front of him, there were several figures flying at high speed. They were none other than the five people who had come to cause trouble but had been suppressed by Lin Mo earlier. Originally, he had planned to use them to lure Gongsun Wenhao out. Now, however, there was no need. ¡°I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me¡­¡± Hiding in the dark, Lin Mo followed them all the way until they finally arrived at a city. ¡°We¡¯ve been flying for three days. It¡¯s a little far¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had followed them all the way and passed by the strongholds of Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s forces. Along the way, these five people had collected all kinds of treasures and were now in possession of two divine medicines on them. In addition, there were also 13 Rare Level 9 Earth class Spiritual Herbs, which was quite a fortune. ¡°This should be the ancient city. It¡¯s three times bigger than Lin City¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed to himself. This was an ancient city that had been passed down for countless years and had always been controlled by a few powerful families. ¡°Hey, those five people seem to be the battle generals under Lord Gongsun Wenhao. Why are they in such a sorry state?¡± Someone had recognized these five people as soon as they entered the city and was secretly surprised. ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard that they went to the Molin Chamber of Commerce to cause trouble. Why did they come back so dejected¡­?¡± Some people who were on the roadside were commenting on the small group that had just entered. They felt that it was strange and wondered how a Chamber of Commerce without a top-notch master could make them suffer. However, even though they were discussing this matter, they didn¡¯t dare to laugh. After all, these five people were all masters on the Hidden Dragon List, and they could not be underestimated. Even if they had been defeated before, they were still not people that they could provoke. Soon, Lin Mo followed the five of them and came to a magnificent palace. There were many disciples of the Gongsun family here, and it was obvious that this was their base camp. ¡°I¡¯ve finally come here¡­ I hope there will be something to gain¡­¡± Lin Mo walked up to the entrance with a smile on his face. There was no need for him to hide anything anymore. ¡°Who are you? You¡¯re not allowed to enter this place.¡± ¡°Of course, if you have any precious spiritual medicine, half-divine medicine, or divine medicine, you may make an exchange with us.¡± Someone had noticed Lin Mo approaching and walked over to stop him. ¡°Wait, who are you?¡± Suddenly, someone¡¯s heart began to tremble and he took out a picture scroll. ¡°God Devouring Lin Mo¡­¡± The disciples of the Gongsun family were shocked. They hated the God Devourer Body to the bone. The Gongsun family had the highest chance of obtaining the Supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng during the trip to Cloud Mist Island. Furthermore, the Qilin had also been there at the time. It could be said that if not for Lin Mo, the Gongsun family would have received two Supreme inheritances. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± They were shocked, knowing that they were no match for Lin Mo. Someone was trying to activate the formation in the dark to suppress Lin Mo. ¡°I don¡¯t have enough cultivation resources, so I¡¯m here to commit a robbery,¡± said Lin Mo with a smile. ¡°You¡­¡± The faces of the people from the Gongsun family turned livid with anger. Their family was the overlord of a state, and they had never been looked down upon like this. In the distance, many passersby were dumbfounded when they heard Lin Mo¡¯s words. Who was this person? Had water gotten into his brain? How could this Level 5 Almighty dare to cause trouble here? Besides, why were the people of the Gongsun family so afraid? Were there no masters in the palace? No, that wasn¡¯t right¡­ ¡°That¡¯s Lin Mo, a human with the God Devouring Body. Even Gongsun Wenhao has suffered a loss before. Don¡¯t underestimate him.¡± On a tall building, a white tiger was watching the show with its head held high. ¡°Hmph, what are you panicking for? Lord Wenhao has six generals here. What can a God Devouring Body with a lower cultivation level do?¡± In the palace, a beautiful woman was speaking coldly. She was wearing a low-cut black dress and walked out seductively. Originally, she had been the only master in the palace so she had been a little worried about Lin Mo. After all, he had the God Devouring Body. However, it was different now. Five great battle generals had just returned, and six masters at the peak of the Almighty realm were not afraid of a God Devouring Body. Lin Mo did not bother talking to this person because he would have to go to the next one after robbing this place. ¡°Here, your support is here. Come at me all at the same time. I¡¯m in a hurry.¡± Lin Mo did not waste any more time and the War Demon Spear burst out at this moment. With a sweep of the spear, the palace door was immediately shattered. Even the formation that had just been activated, as well as the formation patterns, were all destroyed in that moment. ¡°Lin Mo, are you plotting against us?¡± The five great generals who had just come out were shocked. After seeing Lin Mo, they immediately understood what had happened, and their hearts felt as dead as ashes. The six of them decided to join forces to attempt a counterattack. However, Lin Mo¡¯s War Demon Spear was a dimension-lowering attack on them, and the six of them were severely injured in an instant. ¡°Just lie down obediently and I¡¯ll spare your lives.¡± As Lin Mo walked into the palace, the rest of the people there wanted to make a move. However, they saw the golden Kun Peng Wings appear on Lin Mo¡¯s back. The feathers fell, and the sharp sword qi exploded, sweeping the area without any suspense. ¡°Bang!¡± The formation protecting the treasury was pierced by the War Demon Spear and destroyed. Some people felt bitter but they were no match for him at all. They couldn¡¯t even stop him at all. He was just too strong¡­ ¡°You have quite a lot of treasures, so I won¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Lin Mo laughed. This was a great harvest. There were seven divine medicines, fifteen half-divine medicines, and more than fifty Level 9 Earth-class spiritual medicines. For an ordinary person, this number would be enough to cultivate a king. However, it was far from enough for any masters, especially Lin Mo, who had the God Devouring Body which needed a large number of cultivation resources. Other than the resources, Lin Mo had also obtained a piece of white bone that was extremely hard. He tried using the War Demon Spear to test it out and determined that it was actually undamaged. He immediately kept it in the system space. [ Quasi-celestial treasure, Ten Thousand Spirit Bone. It had originally been an ordinary bone banner that gathered the qi of ten thousand spirits. It was worshipped by many, contained the faith of ten thousand spirits, and had already passed the road to immortality. ] [ Integrating it into a Heaven-grade magic artifact can transform it into a quasi-immortal artifact. ] After reading the introduction, Lin Mo was amazed that he was even in possession of such a treasure. It was a pity that these people did not recognize it. Although he could tell that it was a treasure, its true appearance was not known, which would benefit Lin Mo¡­ Chapter 689 - 689 Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree 689 Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree ¡°Haha, many thanks.¡± Lin Mo laughed and grabbed a disciple of the Gongsun family. ¡°Lead the way. Teng Feng also has some influence in this city, right? Robbing just one family won¡¯t be enough.¡± Not long after, Lin Mo flung open the door of another magnificent palace in the city. He did not even use the War Demon Spear. There was only one master in the palace, and he could not even last more than thirty of Lin Mo¡¯s moves. The wings that hung down from the sky spread out, and the divine light of the Golden Roc burst forth, severely injuring this person. ¡°B*stard, who are you?¡± The man roared. He still didn¡¯t know why he was being attacked. ¡°Here, he brought me here. You can ask him yourself.¡± Lin Mo pointed at the young man who was paralyzed as he sat on the ground. ¡°A disciple of the Gongsun family?¡± That person was startled. Teng Feng and Gongsun Wenhao could be considered allies, so why would they attack at this time? ¡°Sir, this man is Lin Mo. Quickly activate the killing formation.¡± The young man said as he explained everything with a sad face. Unfortunately, even though the person understood and activated the killing formation, they could not stop Lin Mo. In the face of the War Demon Spear, the killing formation seemed so weak¡­ ¡°This killing formation is not too bad. It¡¯s capable of killing a king tier in seconds¡­¡± praised Lin Mo. This formation diagram could be taken away and auctioned. Perhaps he could obtain a powerful killing formation that could kill peak king tiers. Then, the safety of the Molin Chamber of Commerce would be guaranteed. ¡°It turns out that this is the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo. He¡¯s very powerful, but his realm is clearly very low¡­¡± Around them, many people saw this situation and started to discuss it. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that the God Devouring and the Qilin girl work together. If he¡¯s here, does that mean the Qilin is also¡­¡± Lin Mo alone was enough to sweep this place aside. If a Qilin were to come along, wouldn¡¯t that mean the heavens would be overturned¡­¡± Amidst the crowd¡¯s discussion, Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Wings spread open and rays of golden light burst forth. ¡°Golden Roc Divine Light.¡± A divine light bloomed, and the terrifying explosive force destroyed the entire palace, leaving only a few walls protected by formation patterns that were on the verge of collapse. ¡°Is the treasury here?¡± Lin Mo looked into the distance and spotted a secret chamber. The entire palace had been destroyed, but that was the only place that was still resisting. He walked to the entrance of the secret room as if he had entered a no-man¡¯s land. ¡°It¡¯s really well sealed. I hope there¡¯s something good here¡­¡± said Lin Mo as he rubbed his hands and opened the door of the secret room. ¡°BOOM!¡± The door was forced open, and a faint medicinal fragrance came wafting out. What came into view was a newly planted sacred tree. ¡°This is¡­ Level 8 Heaven class, Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree¡­¡± Lin Mo was stunned when he saw this sacred tree. A tree of this level usually grew in dangerous places. Moreover, the fragrance it emitted would definitely attract peerless ferocious beasts to protect it. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit and the Silver Phoenix Fruit, in particular, could attract a large number of sub-dragons and sub-phoenixes to fight. This was because this fruit could make their bloodline purer, and they had the hope of evolving into true dragons or true phoenixes in the future ¡­ He had a Silver Phoenix Fruit tree with him, but it was a pity that the Qilin had eaten the fruit. It was truly a great opportunity for him to obtain another Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree now¡­ ¡°Wait, you can¡¯t take it away. It belongs to Lord Teng Feng¡­¡± The disciples of the Teng family wanted to stop him, but they were sent flying with a sweep of the palm of Lin Mo¡¯s hand. He stored the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree in the system space. He was very satisfied with the harvest from this trip. ¡°I¡¯ll spare your lives, but remember to pick more divine medicines. I¡¯ll come and take them when the time comes.¡± Lin Mo chuckled but did not make another move. He took the other treasures in the treasury and left. ¡°Fellow Daoist, please wait.¡± As he was walking, someone suddenly walked up and stopped him, attracting the attention of countless people. In the entire city, there was almost no one who could stand up to Lin Mo. Why did this person still dare to stop him? ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°My lord likes to make friends. He might be interested in your performance today,¡± said the man. ¡°Your original form is an Earth Dragon, a sub-Dragon species. Could it be that you¡¯ve taken a fancy to this Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree?¡± Lin Mo pointed it out directly. He knew the reason why the other party had come to negotiate. However, that was all there was to it. An Earth Dragon with the bloodline of the Dragon race was no match for him, even though his combat strength was strong. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m interested, it¡¯s my lord. We come from the Earth Dragon tribe, and my lord¡¯s bloodline has returned to her ancestors, evolving from an Earth Dragon to an ancient Earth Dragon.¡± Hearing this, many people were shocked. The Earth Dragon clan was a powerful clan with many experts. There were more than a handful of holy and powerful men. They had dominated a state in the northern land for countless years, but they were still at the peak. As for the most outstanding master of this race, his name was Gu You. His bloodline had returned to its ancestor and the dragon blood in his body was dense. He was expected to reproduce the glory of the ancient era¡­ Gu You¡¯s talent was on full display, and his bloodline contained an unparalleled dragon¡¯s might. The Earth Dragon tribe had been trying their best to find these Pseudo Dragon Fruit for Gu You all these years. Unfortunately, he only managed to obtain one in the end, and it still had not matured yet. Even so, Gu You¡¯s talent had still been greatly enhanced, and the dragon might within his body became even more powerful. Now that Lin Mo had stolen a Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, the Earth Dragon clan would be willing to pay any price in exchange for it. Of course, for the sake of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, he might even be willing to forgo his dignity and come over to snatch it away¡­ ¡°I see. Well, the Qilin and I founded the Molin Chamber of Commerce in Lin City. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree will be auctioned there. If you¡¯re interested, you can come and bid for it.¡± Lin Mo had announced that all the treasures he had taken here would be auctioned there. Such straightforwardness made the faces of the people from the Gongsun and Teng families turn pale. This was no different from rubbing their faces on the ground. This was a death grudge that could not be resolved¡­ ¡°This¡­¡± Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, the other party was stunned and hesitated. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything else. You can just bring your treasures to the auction. Remember, bring your treasures along. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to get it¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo¡¯s figure disappeared. Not long after, the entire ancient city reverberated with the angry roars of the disciples of the Gongsun family and the Teng family. Lin Mo was completely unaware of this. He spread his Kun Peng Wings, and with every flap, he flew hundreds of miles away. Since he didn¡¯t need to hide his whereabouts, he flew back to Lin City in less than half a day. Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue were still in seclusion, and the Qilin was protecting them in case anything happened. When necessary, he cultivated divine medicine, divine pills, to help them extend their lives¡­ ¡°How was the harvest?¡± Zhao Tianyu asked as soon as he returned. Lin Mo had personally taken action, so naturally, he would not return empty-handed. Unless Teng Feng or Gongsun Wenhao just happened to come out of seclusion and came to take away the spiritual and divine medicines that they had hoarded¡­ ¡°It was a great harvest. Let¡¯s start the auction now. Also, spread the news that the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, a Level 8 Heaven realm Divine Tree, will be auctioned in ten days.¡± Lin Mo laughed as he took out a huge pile of spiritual herbs, half-divine herbs, and divine herbs. The most eye-catching and precious item was the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. As soon as it was taken out, a dragon¡¯s roar reverberated throughout Lin City, attracting many people¡¯s attention. ¡°This Pseudo Dragon Fruit¡­ Can you sell me one¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu¡¯s breathing became heavy. If the person in front of him was not Lin Mo, he would have already taken action to snatch it away. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit was too precious and too important¡­ Elsewhere, Feng Tian sensed the aura and also rushed over. Upon seeing the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, his eyes immediately turned red. Chapter 690 - 690 Burning Flame Divine Pill 690 Burning Flame Divine Pill ¡°I would like to buy one as well¡­¡± His body trembled as he couldn¡¯t hide his excitement. This was a heaven-sent opportunity. ¡°There are 11 fruits in total. I can sell you two.¡± Lin Mo was not stingy. He asked them to make arrangements for someone to participate in the auction tonight. The finale would be the two Pseudo Dragon Fruits. ¡°Thank you, Brother Lin¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian were overjoyed, especially Zhao Tianyu. His need for the Pseudo Dragon Fruit was no less than that of the sub-dragon species¡­ ¡°Why are you so excited? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re also a sub-dragon?¡± Lin Mo joked. Hearing this, Zhao Tianyu suppressed his joy and said, ¡°Brother Lin, you might not know this, but the Zhao family has an ancient fire.¡± To cultivate this ancient flame was a great test for one¡¯s body and soul. Cultivating the sacred flame mantra allowed one¡¯s soul to be inextinguishable in the flames, but it was difficult to preserve one¡¯s physical body. This problem had troubled the Zhao clan for many years. After several generations of research and the blood and sweat of many alchemy grandmasters, they had finally come up with a pill recipe. ¡°This is a pill recipe that belongs to my Zhao family. It can allow our bodies to withstand the burning of this immortal-grade flame. The main ingredient is the Pseudo Dragon Fruit¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu¡¯s words were like a savior to Lin Mo and he became just as excited as Zhao Tianyu. He grabbed Zhao Tianyu¡¯s shoulder as he suppressed the joy in his heart, ¡°¡±You know how to make it, right?¡± ¡°The success rate is less than 50%¡­¡± Startled by Lin Mo¡¯s appearance, Zhao Tianyu could only nod dumbly. He had not controlled the Scarlet Heaven Fire Seed yet, so his success rate was very low¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll let you cultivate these eleven pseudo dragon fruits. You must refine two of them. If there¡¯s a third one, it¡¯s yours. ¡°What other materials do you need? I¡¯ll provide them all. If you don¡¯t have them, I¡¯ll offer a reward and buy them at a high price.¡± Lin Mo had begun to breath heavier as there seemed to be hope for Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue. The companions that he had made friends with could finally be out of danger. This news was just too good for him¡­ As for what he had promised the Earth Dragon tribe, it wasn¡¯t important. At most, he would just offend another powerful enemy¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll start cultivating now¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu nodded. He took the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, picked a few divine herbs, and left. As for Lin Mo, he was no longer in the mood to host the auction and left it to Feng Tian. ¡°Let¡¯s see what Zhao Tianyu is capable of. If you don¡¯t get the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, I¡¯ll give you another opportunity.¡± After comforting him, Lin Mo chased after him and found Zhao Tianyu in a secret room. At this moment, the latter had already started to cultivate the pills. Divine medicines and half-divine medicines were taken out one after another. In addition, there were hundreds of spiritual herbs, ranging from Level 1 to Level 9 of the Earth class. These were part of Zhao Tianyu¡¯s collection. ¡°What I¡¯m going to refine is the Burning Flame Divine Pill. It¡¯s highly targeted and has only one medicinal effect. Although it¡¯s a Level 7 Heaven class, it¡¯s relatively easy¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu explained to Lin Mo as he picked up a Pseudo Dragon Fruit. The cauldron was red from the heat. When the Pseudo Dragon Fruit was placed in the center, and a Crimson Dragon¡¯s shadow emerged from the flames. The dragon shadow opened its mouth and swallowed a large amount of flames. The red color on its body became more and more intense. Under Lin Mo¡¯s watchful eyes, the Crimson Dragon¡¯s shadow circled the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, and its energy was continuously purified by the flames. One by one, the spiritual herbs were added in and devoured by the Crimson Dragon¡¯s shadow. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 9 Earth grade Spirit Herb, the Colorless Fruit. ] [ Successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 2 Heaven-rank divine medicine and a Tricolored Divine Fruit. ] ¡­ [ Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning a Level 1 Heaven-class Inner Core, Forest Boa Inner Core ] [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 5 Heaven-class Inner Core, the Forest Boa King Inner Core ] The system¡¯s notification reverberated in his mind. The auction had already begun, and he had obtained quite a few precious divine medicines. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Mo asked hurriedly when he saw Zhao Tianyu¡¯s flames stop due to exhaustion. Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu¡¯s lives were in Zhao Tianyu¡¯s hands, so nothing could happen to any of them¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve exhausted too much of my energy¡­ I¡¯ll be fine after meditating and resting for a while¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu shook his head and was about to cultivate to replenish his energy. However, Lin Mo handed him the Tricolored Divine Fruit he had just obtained. ¡°Eat it and continue to cultivate¡­¡± He could tell that Zhao Tianyu had just overused his spirit qi. After all, he was cultivating a Heaven grade Level 7 Divine Pill. In order to keep Zhao Tianyu in peak condition at all times, he went outside and ordered people to bring him a few soul recovery divine pills. ¡°I urgently need two Burning Flame Divine Pills, please¡­¡± Although he was very puzzled over Lin Mo¡¯s actions, Zhao Tianyu still began to cultivate. It took him five days to cultivate the two Burning Flame Divine Pills. He failed four times in the process before finally getting two smooth and round divine pills of good quality. ¡°This is the Burning Flame Divine Pill. When cultivating flames, eat it if you can¡¯t endure it the fire,¡± said Zhao Tianyu. ¡°I¡¯m a man of my word. You can stop after you¡¯ve refined one Burning Flame Divine Pill out of the remaining five Pseudo Dragon Fruits.¡± With that, Lin Mo turned to leave and kept the two Burning Flame Divine Pills in the system space. [ The Burning Flame Divine Pill is made with the Pseudo Dragon Fruit as the main ingredient. It is supplemented by more than a hundred spiritual herbs and more than a dozen divine herbs. It is at Level 7 Heaven realm. ] [ It has only one effect. It can only increase the body¡¯s resistance to the Dao Law of Fire. When refining the divine fire of heaven and earth, taking this pill can ensure that the body is safe and the success rate of refining it will increase greatly. ] If the Sacred Flame Technique of the Zhao family was used to protect the soul, then the Burning Flame Divine Pill was used to protect the body. To refine the Crimson Heavenly Fire Seed, the two were indispensable. Lin Mo had given Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu the Level 9 Phoenix Fire Technique, which was even more powerful than the Sacred Flame Technique. After all, it was a Celestial grade cultivation technique, while the Sacred Flame Technique was only at Heaven class Level 9. However, the difficulty of comprehending it was also quite shocking. Even with the Fruit of Enlightenment, Song Lianxue would find it difficult to cultivate. With the help of Mao Zhu, she would be able to withstand the damage and comprehend it together. With the addition of these two Burning Flame Divine Pills, the success rate of fusing the Nirvana Phoenix Fire could be said to be 80%. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m a really good friend¡­¡± After praising himself, he went to the room where Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue were still cultivating. The Qilin was still inside protecting them, shielding their auras and preventing anyone from the outside world from spying on them. ¡°Hey, Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯re back.¡± The Qilin, who had been sitting on the sofa in boredom, smiled when she saw Lin Mo. She pounced into Lin Mo¡¯s arms like a swallow and rubbed her face against his clothes, unwilling to let go. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around, there¡¯s serious business to be done.¡± After comforting the Qilin, Lin Mo placed it on the sofa and walked to the ball of fire. At this moment, Song Lianxue had almost lost consciousness and only had a weak soul fluctuation. Now, it was Mao Zhu who was trying to resist the Nirvana Phoenix Fire. Unfortunately, even though she had not even fused half of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire yet, Mao Zhu was almost at her limit¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not too late¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and threw out the two Burning Fire Divine Pills, fusing them into Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue¡¯s bodies. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± A weak voice came from the fire. It was Mao Zhu. She was still alert and knew what Lin Mo had done. Lin Mo nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve tried my best. The rest is up to you¡­¡± Chapter 691 - 691 Su Qing Visits 691 Su Qing Visits In order to avoid any accidents, he also stood guard beside the flames, in case anything happened. This wait lasted for four days, until Zhao Tianyu sent someone over, saying that he had something to discuss. ¡°Don¡¯t leave the room.¡± After giving this instruction to the Qilin, Lin Mo left the secret chamber and found Zhao Tianyu with the guidance of the maidservant. ¡°There are three Pseudo Dragon Fruits left.¡± As soon as they met, Zhao Tianyu took out the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree where there were still three fruits left on it. Even without Lin Mo¡¯s urging, he had still failed once and wasted one Pseudo Dragon Fruit. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Arrange for today¡¯s auction and sell one to Feng Tian.¡± Lin Mo nodded and put away the pseudo dragon fruit tree. This kind of magical fruit was very beneficial for the tempering of the body. This was also why it could become the main material of the Burning Flame Divine Pill. ¡°No problem. Also, there are many experts in Lin City. There¡¯s a woman who claims to be your friend. She¡¯s been waiting for three days to see you.¡± Zhao Tianyu shared the news from the past few days with him. Lin Mo was a little confused. What kind of friends could he have in the Northern Continent? After instructing Zhao Tianyu to arrange the auction for that night, Lin Mo went to meet this so-called friend of his. When he came to the door of a room, he finally understood. ¡°Su Qing¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s maidservant, Su Qing, only had average talent. However, with Mu Yuzhu¡¯s support, no one dared to offend her. Back then, he was able to cultivate the Zhu Yan Body Refining Art because Su Qing had given him the blood essence of Zhu Yan. Although it was an exchange, she had indeed helped him a lot back then¡­ After knocking on the door and getting permission, Lin Mo pushed the door open and entered. There was a woman sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She had just finished her cultivation state. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time,¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. ¡°Lin Mo, I didn¡¯t expect the Molin Chamber of Commerce to be yours¡­¡± Su Qing had not expected Lin Mo to come in. She stood up and enthusiastically poured Lin Mo a cup of tea. ¡°By the way, are you running out of resources? why are you only at Level 5?¡± This kind of strength was far behind. By the time Gongsun Wenhao and the others broke through to the king tier, Lin Mo would probably still only be at the 7th sky level. Although he could fight king tier, so could Gongsun Wenhao and the others. No matter how amazing Lin Mo was, he would not be able to make up for the gap in their levels¡­ ¡°The ancient battlefield is rich in resources. How could it not be enough?¡± Lin Mo smiled indifferently but did not go into detail about the level. He asked, ¡°Was there something that Miss Mu requires my help with?¡± Su Qing would not simply look for him for no reason. Even if she was just passing by and wanted to meet her friends, she would not wait for three days. Time was precious on the ancient battlefield. ¡°Miss Mu asked me to give you this. She said you would be interested in it.¡± Su Qing handed over a yellow sheepskin scroll. He unfurled it and found that it was a map with an ancient rune on it. ¡°A map of the ruins?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Mu Yuzhu had given him such a precious map? ¡°You¡¯re right. After more than ten generations of investigation, the Mu family has finally found out the location and background of these ruins.¡± Su Qing explained that this was said to be an extremely prosperous sect in ancient times. It had been called the Wind Spirit Sect. In the war that had swept across the entire continent, the Wind Spirit Sect had been destroyed, and many emperors-to-be had died. The entire sect¡¯s inheritance was buried, and only a part of it had been found and handed down by future generations. The Mu family was not the only one who had obtained the map. There were also a few other major sects who had done the same. The disciples of those major sects had already triggered the map and gone to explore the ruins. Mu Yuzhu was well aware of the dangers of the ruins and wanted to rope in a few helpers. The first person she thought of was Lin Mo. He was powerful, had no background, and was relatively reliable. Lin Mo and the auspicious beast the White Qilin were undoubtedly the first choices. In this way, they would also be able to get a trace of the auspicious beast¡¯s auspicious aura. ¡°How about it? Would you like to explore the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect? We don¡¯t have to go together. But if there¡¯s any danger, we can look out for each other. Su Qing poured Lin Mo another cup of tea. He believed that Lin Mo would not miss out on such a huge temptation. In reality, Lin Mo was indeed tempted. If not for the fact that circumstances were not right, he really wanted to go. ¡°Don¡¯t leave tonight. Do take part in the auction. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit will be the finale.¡± Without giving a definite answer, Lin Mo asked Su Qing to stay for the time being instead. ¡°Anything is fine. I came here to collect treasures for my lady anyway,¡± agreed Su Qing immediately. As for the Wind Spirit Sect ruins, Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He had to wait for Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue to come out of seclusion first. Only then would he have enough helpers. Otherwise, he would not be able to support them alone¡­ ¡°Welcome to tonight¡¯s auction. I can tell you in advance that tonight¡¯s grand finale is two Pseudo Dragon Fruits. ¡°In addition, the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree you¡¯re looking forward to will be auctioned off tomorrow. It¡¯s a Level 8 Heaven class treasure, and it¡¯s the only one.¡± With just these two sentences, the entire place exploded, and the atmosphere reached its peak. Seeing this, Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. ¡°Next, we¡¯ll be auctioning the first treasure of the night.¡± The maidservant behind him walked forward and lifted the red cloth. On the silver plate, a round bead was revealed. The moment it appeared, a fiendish aura filled the air. Many people couldn¡¯t stand the impact of this fiendish qi. Only a few people were able to stare at the bead on the silver plate with red eyes. ¡°The first treasure is the Forest Boa King Inner Core. It¡¯s a Level 5 Heaven-class treasure and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as reconstructing bones. ¡°For those who need to cultivate their bodies, this is a rare treasure. Don¡¯t miss it.¡± For the first treasure, Lin Mo was offering up a huge weapon. It had been the system¡¯s return from the previous auction. His body was strong, so he didn¡¯t need it. The Qilin didn¡¯t need it, so he had taken it out to be auctioned. If Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian wanted it, he would arrange for his clan to bid for it. After all, this was a rebate treasure that the system had given to him, and he would not receive a rebate for the second time. Even if the two of them didn¡¯t pay, he wouldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°A Forest Boa King¡¯s Inner Core¡­ Is this a special gift for Miss Mu?¡± In a private room in front of them, Su Qing sat alone as she watched Lin Mo introduce the Forest Boa King¡¯s Inner Core. A treasure of this level could easily be auctioned of as a treasure for the finale. No one had expected Lin Mo to start off with such a great treasure, causing countless people to fight over it¡­ Lin Mo did not even need to state the price as the people below had already started bidding. A Level 5 Heaven-class Inner Core was even rarer, and its value was probably more than three billion upper spiritual stones. No one would bring so many spiritual stones out. After all, they took up too much space, and it was a burden to bring too many spatial magical artifacts. Such trades were usually made by bartering. The highest bidder was Feng Tian¡¯s family. They were helping Feng Tian bid for a Level 5 Heaven-class Divine Pill. As soon as the Diving Pill came out, the entire place fell silent for a moment. In the private rooms in the front row, more than a dozen people stayed silent as they contemplated. Although the Forest Boa King¡¯s Inner Core was good, the divine pill wasn¡¯t cheap either, so they had to consider it carefully. ¡°One level 5 Heaven-class Divine Pill, going once.¡± Lin Mo gave a timely tap with the auction hammer to remind everyone to think quickly. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Level 4 Heaven-class Divine Pill and a Level 5 Heaven-class Divine Pill.¡± Someone from Chapter 692 - 692 Fighting for the Pseudo Dragon Fruit 692 Fighting for the Pseudo Dragon Fruit He increased the price by one Heaven-class Level 4 Divine Pill to surpass the people Feng Tian had arranged to bid on his behalf. However, just as the person thought that victory was in his grasp, Su Qing, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. She had never even considered giving up the Forest Boa King Inner Core. ¡°Two Heaven-class Level 5 Divine Pills.¡± Such a price had already surpassed the value of the Forest Boa King Inner Core. The people present were all very smart, and would not blindly bid. ¡°Two Heaven-class Level 5 Divine Pills, going three times¡­ It¡¯s a deal.¡± The auction hammer fell three times, and Lin Mo announced the deal. Since the treasures were so precious, they were usually traded on the spot. Su Qing threw the two Divine Pills out. Then according to her wishes, she obtained the Forest Boa King Inner Core. ¡°Isn¡¯t she afraid of being robbed while carrying such a valuable treasure with her¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head at this thought. Or perhaps it was Mu Yuzhu¡¯s reputation that was so great that it was capable of deterring people? ¡°Maybe there¡¯s some kind of hidden killer weapon in his hands¡­¡± After thinking for a while, Lin Mo waved his hand, and the next maidservant walked forward to display the next item. ¡°This is a Level 1 Heaven-class Magic Weapon, the Sun-Penetrating Axe. It has the power to split mountains and split the earth. Its power is extraordinary. The auction continued. The starting price of a Level 1 Heaven-grade Magic Tool was 100 million upper Spiritual Stones. After a round of bidding, the final price reached 150 million, and this was due to the depreciation of the magic weapon at the Heaven-grade. ¡°So it¡¯s a fellow Daoist from the Earth Dragon Tribe. I didn¡¯t expect a fellow Daoist to arrive so early. I hope you don¡¯t blame me for not being able to welcome you.¡± To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, the bidder was the Earth Dragon tribe member who had negotiated with him to buy the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. He could be considered the second master of the Earth Dragon Tribe. However, it was a pity that he was far inferior to Gu You. He was only able to become a general under Gu You. ¡°You¡¯re being too serious.¡± The other party gave him the Spiritual Stones and tactfully said something before returning to the private room. They didn¡¯t talk much. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a Level 1 Heaven-class Magical Weapon, the Sun-Penetrating Axe. [ Successfully triggered 6000 times auction return interest ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Heaven-class Magicl Weapon, Earth Splitting Axe. Magical weapons were not of much use to him. They were far from being as good as divine medicine. After all, the power contained in magical weapons was too little. ¡°I¡¯ll use it to exchange for divine medicine in the future¡­¡± Shaking his head, Lin Mo continued with the auctioning of the next treasure. On the silver plate that the maidservant had brought over was a red and gold scroll, with specks of starlight circulating on it. ¡°The Diamond Star Body, a Level 3 Heaven-class Body Cultivating Martial Art. It was created by a pre-Saint from the Feng province in the Northern Continent 10000 years ago. If you cultivate it to the peak, your body will be indestructible and the power of the stars will last forever. ¡°Its combat power is capable of jumping through the heavens and earth. It¡¯s a rare body-strengthening martial art. When it¡¯s activated, it can also explode with powerful combat power.¡± Body-cultivating martial arts were rare, to begin with, and most of them were secrets of some sects that were not passed on. Level 3 Heaven-class was already very high for them, and it was worth buying. ¡°This item has been put up for auction by someone else. The person who put it up for auction wants to exchange it for a Divine Pill. He doesn¡¯t need any other treasures, unless they¡¯re extremely precious.¡± With that, Lin Mo slammed the auction hammer down, signaling for the crowd to start bidding. There were quite a number of people who were interested. Hence, not long after Lin Mo placed the auction hammer, someone made a bid. ¡°One Level 3 Heaven-class Divine Pill, going once.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Level 3 Heaven-class Divine Pill and a Level 3 Heaven-class Divine Medicine. In just a minute, the price of this cultivation technique had been raised to that of a Level 4 divine pill. Such a price was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Even Lin Mo was stunned. This had already exceeded the original price. After the deal was successfully closed, the system¡¯s notification sound also sounded at this moment. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Level 3 Heaven-realm Martial Art, Diamond Star Body. [ Successfully triggered 2000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Level 4 Heaven-class Martial Art, Glazed Ancient Body. Lin Mo did not care much for the rebate item. It was still useless to him, so the only thing he could do would be to exchange it in the future. Following that, more and more treasures were auctioned off. The amount Lin Mo earned gradually increased. He had a total of seven cultivation and martial arts books in the system space. There were more than a dozen precious ores and materials, all of which were very valuable. As for the divine medicine, there were more than 20 plants. This was the most abundant harvest in the past ten days. Since news of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit had been released, many people had brought their treasures to the auction. Lin Mo had earned a lot of money, and soon, two of them disappeared. As the auction came near the end, the crowd in the hall became a little heated. All of them knew that the main event was about to begin, and some of them were already impatient. ¡°Next up is the grand finale of this auction, the anticipated Pseudo Dragon Fruit.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out a Pseudo Dragon Fruit from the system space before placing it on the silver plate at the front desk. ¡°There are two Pseudo Dragon Fruits in total and they will be auctioned off in two separate auctions. The one who offers the highest price will get them.¡± Once the Pseudo Dragon Fruit was revealed, some people couldn¡¯t sit still. There were creatures of various races present, and there was no lack of sub-Dragons among them. Their bodies contained a trace of the Dragon race¡¯s blood. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit was a fatal temptation to them, and they wanted it no matter what. ¡°Is this the Pseudo Dragon Fruit?¡± In the private room, Su Qing looked at the fruit on the stage curiously. She had only seen this kind of magical fruit in ancient books. It was said that the Pseudo-Dragon Fruit Tree would only grow in places where the Dragon clan had died. There was also a chance of an alternative Dragon being born, but it was very low. Moreover, the dead alternative Dragon had to be at least an absolute Saint. This also resulted in the scarcity of Pseudo Dragon Fruit Trees. Many Dragon clans yearned for them but were unable to obtain them. ¡°The Pseudo Dragon Fruit contains a trace of Dragon qi. It can temper one¡¯s body and also purify the bloodline of Dragon-type demonic beasts. It¡¯s an extremely rare treasure. ¡°The Pseudo Dragon Fruit is at Level 6 Heaven-class. You may trade Spiritual Stones for it. The one with the highest price will get it.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo banged the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. No one called out for Spiritual Stones. After all, they didn¡¯t need top-grade Spiritual Stones at their level. Also, the Upper Spiritual Stones took up too much space, so they couldn¡¯t carry too many. ¡°I¡¯ll offer ten Earth Dragon Inner Core, Level 5 Heaven-class, and one Level 6 Heaven-class Divine Pill. The Earth Dragon from before came out again and was the first to bid. ¡°Five Heaven-class Level 5 Divine Pills, three bottles of Wind Dragon Blood Essence, and one Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pill. A young man walked out of the private room at the side. His skin was blue, and he had a pair of wings on his back. Bits of wind elemental power swirled around them. ¡°People of the Wind Dragon clan, it seems like this Pseudo Dragon Fruit has attracted quite a number of people¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. However, he only had three left. It would be up to these people to work to get them. ¡°Two Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pills.¡± It was at this moment that Su Qing, who had been silent for a long time, opened her mouth to speak. Without showing her face, she made a direct bid. ¡°Two Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pills.¡± This price shocked everyone. The Earth Dragon and Wind Dragon were furious. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit was extremely important to them, and whoever came to snatch it away would be regarded as an enemy. ¡°Two Level 6 Heaven-grade Divine Pills and 300 million Upper Spiritual Stones. The Wind Dragon spoke again, and his expression gradually turned ugly. This was his final price. He had not brought many treasures with him this time, so he was afraid that he would miss out on the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. How was he going to explain this matter when he returned? ¡°Three Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pills.¡± Chapter 693 - 693 Dragon Scale Blood Fruit 693 Dragon Scale Blood Fruit Before the Earth Dragon could bid, Su Qing made another bid. Even Lin Mo was shocked by the price. Two Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pills had reached the value of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. Unless the buyer was a sub-dragon species, it was not worth the price. ¡°Hey, are you just calling out bids unnecessarily? You shouldn¡¯t simply spend money like this even if you can afford it. Lin Mo secretly transmitted his voice to give a reminder to Su Qing that she shouldn¡¯t waste her resources. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s fine.¡± Su Qing waved her hand, not at all concerned about the wastefulness of the consumption of her resources. ¡°Hmph¡­¡± The Earth Dragon and the Wind Dragon snorted coldly. They looked at Lin Mo on the stage but did not dare to act rashly. All they could do was just sit back down. The first Pseudo Dragon Fruit was successfully sold, and Lin Mo received three Divine Pills in return. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, a Heaven-realm Level 6 Divine Fruit. [ Successfully triggered 5000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Level 7 Heaven-realm Divine Fruit, Dragon Scale Blood Fruit. ] The system notification stated that it was a Heaven-grade Level 7 Divine Fruit, which was also fatally attractive to sub-dragons. The Dragon Scale Blood Fruit had all the medicinal effects of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, and its medicinal effects were even stronger. It could also stimulate the potential of the bloodline of the consumer. If they were lucky, they would be able to transform their bodies and grow dragon scales. A trace of dragon power could also be born within the soul, which could shake the world and improve one¡¯s talent to a great extent. Even if one did not have a Dragon-type bloodline in their body, a trace of it would be born after eating that fruit. Without a doubt, if this divine fruit were to be revealed, the masters of the Earth Dragon and Wind Dragon clans would probably come out of hiding again. No matter the price, they were determined to take the Dragon Scale Blood Fruit away. ¡°The last Pseudo Dragon Fruit of the day is here. The highest bidder will get it. Everyone, let¡¯s start bidding.¡± As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, a man in a black robe at the back of the hall spoke up. ¡°Two Heaven-class Level 6 Divine Pills and three Heaven-class Level 5 Divine Pills.¡± The price was almost sky-high, and although it was not as high as Su Qing¡¯s previous price, it was still far beyond anyone else¡¯s reach. At the same time, many people turned to look at the mysterious man behind them. They really wanted to know why this person dared to bid even though he knew how important the Pseudo Dragon Fruit was to the Earth Dragon and Wind Dragon. Even if they had Lin Mo¡¯s protection, what about when they left this place? ¡°Going three times¡­ It¡¯s a deal.¡± Lin Mo knocked the auction hammer three times and announced the auction result. That person was someone who had been arranged by Feng Tian. After coming up to the site to trade, he immediately left when it was done. With the cover of Lin Mo¡¯s soul power, he had successfully blended into the crowd. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Pseudo Dragon Fruit, a Heaven-realm Level 6 Divine Fruit. [ Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction interest return ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Level 7 Heaven-realm Divine Fruit, Dragon Scale Blood Fruit. ] The rebate treasures were the same, but the latter one had more shocking medicinal power and stronger medicinal effects. Initially, Lin Mo had wanted to look for Su Qing after the auction ended, to prevent her from becoming a target. However, even though his soul power covered the whole of Lin City, he still could not locate Su Qing¡¯s aura. He only noticed a little space fluctuation in the private room she had been in before. Other than that, there was no other trace. ¡°A space talisman? By the looks of it, it should be safe¡­¡± After knowing that Su Qing had left, Lin Mo did not think much further about it and started to prepare for the auction of the treasures in his hands. The divine pills that he had just obtained would definitely be auctioned off. What left him speechless was that the money Feng Tian had given him was only in the form of an IOU, saying that he owed it and would pay it back in the future. ¡°Forget it. That will be all for tomorrow¡¯s auction.¡± After making up his mind, he rested for a day. The hustle and bustle of Lin City continued for an entire day. Countless people swarmed to the auction to obtain the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. Of course, those who were kind would not come, and those who came would not be kind. As the sun set, countless people were already waiting for the auction to begin. However, in a mountain range far away from Lin City, a large group of people had gathered. [ The auction is about to begin, but someone is planning to attack the auction house and snatch the final treasure. The host has received a mission to get rid of the enemy in advance so that the auction can proceed smoothly. ] [ Reward for completing the mission: 50000 times return interest triggered for the final treasure auction. ] Lin Mo, who was still in the middle of cultivating in Lin City, frowned when he heard the system notification. It had crossed his mind that someone would try to make a move, but he had not expected that they would try to snatch it during the auction itself. The purpose of this was to embarrass him in public¡­ ¡°In that case, don¡¯t blame me for being ruthless¡­¡± After receiving the system¡¯s mission, Lin Mo left Lin City. There were still two hours before the auction was to start. If he could settle this matter quickly, he would still be able to make it in time to host the auction¡­ ¡°I wonder which forces are planning to make a move?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He used the World-Changing Technique to conceal himself. He came to the entrance of the mountain range and found that it was heavily guarded. Many disciples of the major sects were blocking the entrance, not allowing others to enter. ¡°Halt. This mountain range is currently off-limits,¡± shouted two young men who were at the entrance of the mountain range. ¡°Why? This is just an ordinary mountain range,¡± said Lin Mo without making a move for the time being. ¡°Why are you asking so many questions? This is an order from the Lords. Leave quickly.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The few disciples guarding the door did not seem to know any secrets, so there was no need to waste any time. He stepped forward and spread his Kun Peng Wings, from which rays of golden sword qi spread out. ¡°Enemy attack, send a message quickly.¡± The disciples reacted quickly. When they saw Lin Mo spreading the Kun Peng Wings, they retreated without a second thought. ¡°BOOM!¡± The Kun Peng Wings gently flapped, and a violent gust of wind that was mixed with sword qi chopped a mountain into pieces. All those people were sent flying and crashed into the mountain. They spat out blood and were left with many sword marks on their bodies. ¡°If I had known earlier¡­ I would have brought someone over so that it would be easier to identify the enemy¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He didn¡¯t know much about the great sects, and he didn¡¯t even recognize all the top disciples. What¡¯s more, he had no idea where these ordinary disciples had come from. Fortunately, the system prompted him about the mission location, so he had been able to find his way there. The demonic beasts in the mountain range had long been driven away and the area was now occupied by the disciples of the major sects. Very quickly, Lin Mo found out who the person was after some interrogation. ¡°Fire Luo Sect, Sun Moon Mountain, Golden Dragon Elephant Clan, Gongsun Clan, Teng family, Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡­¡± The names of the major forces were mentioned one by one, and Lin Mo frowned. There were a total of six major forces, and each of them represented a peerless genius with top combat strength. Any one of them was capable of competing with Lin Mo. Fortunately, they had not come out of hiding yet. This operation had been decided by their own subordinates. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree was very beneficial to them, so they had joined forces. At the same time, it was also because they knew that Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation level was lower than theirs, and his combat power was significantly reduced. In addition, the Qilin had not shown herself for many days and might be in closed-door cultivation in Lin City. What a tempting offer. Once the attack was successful, they would receive the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng and the Qilin. There was also the Qilin¡¯s blood, which was a supreme treasure blood that was comparable to an immortal treasure. After getting more or less the information, Lin Mo continued to move forward, killing people and horses before finally reaching the depths of the mountain. ¡°This is not good, Lin Mo has come calling¡­¡± Chapter 694 - 694 The Golden Dragon Elephant 694 The Golden Dragon Elephant Finally, the people in the mountain range realized that Lin Mo had arrived and felt a powerful energy fluctuation. Groups of people were dispatched to stop Lin Mo and exhaust his spirit qi. As a result, the smell of blood began to spread throughout the mountain range and none of the people who came to stop him were able to leave alive. ¡°You know you can¡¯t win, so why do you insist on dying?¡± Lin Mo shook his head and continued to walk deeper into the mountain. His eyes were icy cold, and he was surrounded by sword qi. No one could get close to him, which frightened a large group of people. It was only then that people realized how terrifying Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was. He was like a god of death who had come from hell, causing everyone to tremble in fear. ¡°What are you panicking for? Activate the formation. He won¡¯t be arrogant for long.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The lords are inside. They¡¯ll come to help us soon,¡± shouted someone. Upon hearing this, another group of people rushed forward as they used all kinds of martial arts. They gathered together and completely surrounded Lin Mo. ¡°BOOM!¡± The War Demon Spear appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. With a sweep, a murderous aura exploded, shaking the entire world. This was the power of the War Demon Spear, and he had already deliberately suppressed it. Otherwise, the explosive power would have been even stronger. It was as if they were being crushed. Crashing sounds rang out continuously. All those who rushed up were cut in half at the waist. All their physical bodies were shattered, and their souls were also seriously injured. The scene suddenly quieted down. Some of the people who were left were trembling, not daring to stop him. Lin Mo ignored them and continued to venture deeper. At the center of the formation, runes began to appear. The moment Lin Mo stepped into the formation, it was activated. The formation began to spread out, covering a radius of a hundred miles. This was a very terrifying formation. The reason these people had not come out to save their subordinates was because they had been setting up the formation. It seemed to be a trapping formation, and its purpose was to prevent Lin Mo from escaping¡­ ¡°BOOM!¡± He knew a little about formations, but he wasn¡¯t proficient in them. He attacked one of the formation eyes, but it was ineffective and he was blocked. In the center of the formation, there were six figures sitting cross-legged. Some of them were not human, but had the characteristics of demonic beasts. Some of them had heavy Yin qi, which intimidated people from approaching them. Without exception, all six of them were at the ninth firmament, and each of them could rival Feng Tian and Mao Zhu. ¡°He¡¯s indeed a Level 5 Almighty. We have a great chance, said one of them. He had a head of golden hair, and he looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of longing. ¡°You¡¯re so bold that you¡¯ve even dared to barge in here and enter the formation that we¡¯ve set up.¡± A woman with a pair of wings on her back had spoken up. She was extremely beautiful, and she sat there with her legs crossed, with an air of arrogance. It was obvious that the formation they had set up had given them a lot of confidence. They were not even afraid of Lin Mo¡¯s War Demon Spear, thinking that it was already in their pocket. ¡°What kind of formation is this? why are you so confident?¡± Lin Mo said calmly. ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Someone laughed wildly in response. He had a pair of golden horns on his forehead and a terrifying aura. It was as if he was already in the half-step King tier. ¡°You¡¯re just relying on a Level 9 Heaven-class weapon. Do you really think you¡¯re that strong?¡± Said the man as he looked at Lin Mo. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if you have the God Devourer Body, we¡¯re all favored by heaven. Do you dare to challenge us?¡± This had been said by a being in golden armor. He had the head of an elephant and the body of a human. On his arms were a pair of dragon claws, making him look quite ferocious. This was a Golden Dragon Elephant, a sub-dragon species with the Golden Dragon¡¯s bloodline. ¡°In other words, you guys have a way to deal with my War Demon Spear?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as he spoke unhurriedly. ¡°That¡¯s right, this formation is meant to deal with you. It was given to us by Master Xiao Yun, and it can seal off all energy fluctuations from magical items.¡± The man with the golden horns nodded, his tone filled with respect as he spoke in regards to Xiao Yun. Looking at the six arrogant people, Lin Mo tried to take out the War Demon Spear but he found that there was a special power that suppressed the operation of the magic weapon. The upper limit of this formation was also a Level 9 Heaven-class. If there was a quasi-immortal artifact, it could instantly shatter the formation as long as it was activated. It was obvious that the other party had come prepared. When they found out that he had forced his way into the mountain range, they had already made arrangements. ¡°Xiao Yun from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, huh? He¡¯s got some skills, but I just don¡¯t know how strong he is,¡± Lin Mo extended his soul power. He carefully inspected his surroundings. There were many people hiding and maintaining the operation of the formation. The strongest were the six people in front of him, and two of them had already reached the half-step King realm. The one with the golden horns was probably an ancient mutant, the Golden Yak. It was a powerful race. It was a pity that there were only a few of them. It was rumored that one of the elders of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was the Golden Yak. This man must be from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. The other one was the Golden Dragon Elephant. This race stood tall between heaven and earth, with an absolute Saint guarding it. No one dared to provoke it. ¡°Naturally, my lord¡¯s strength cannot be doubted. You are not weak either. It¡¯s a pity that you have chosen the wrong side.¡± The Golden Yak looked at Lin Mo and continued, ¡± Lin Mo, if you¡¯re willing, you can capture the Qilin and join the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. With your talent, you¡¯ll definitely become an Emperor-to-be in the future. Although it was arrogant, it recognized how powerful the human God Devourer Body was, especially its talent. If Lin Mo was willing to join, then the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would definitely produce an emperor-to-be master in the future. The other five people frowned. The goal of their trip was to kill Lin Mo and kill the master in his cradle. ¡°I¡¯m not just going to be an emperor-to-be in the future. Besides, I¡¯m not interested in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, and I don¡¯t plan on letting you go either.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Even though the system had not specified the requirements, it was still better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, these people were already confirmed to be enemies and could not be resolved. ¡°That¡¯s a pity. A future emperor-to-be is going to fall today¡­¡± sneered the Golden Yak. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re being unnecessary. Why are you bothering to talk so much to him? Let¡¯s capture him now and go to Lin City to catch the Qilin,¡± said the Golden Dragon Elephant. He made the first move. With a furious roar, his fist, which carried the power of a dragon and an elephant, rumbled over. It was as fierce and overbearing as a mountain. Even Lin Mo was a little shocked when he saw this. He could feel the power of the law. It was the law of pure yang. This fellow, like the Golden Yak, followed the path of extreme yang and strength. Furthermore, the other party was a half-step King warrior, and his talent and bloodline were both exceptional. His cultivation was also very high, and he was able to unleash a terrifying power. ¡°BOOM!¡± The mountains crumbled and the earth cracked. The Golden Dragon Elephant¡¯s divine might was unparalleled. The firm punch that had an extreme yang power came down, and it was as if the entire sky was collapsing at this moment. In response, Lin Mo did not dodge. Instead, he threw a punch that contained the divine power of the Kun Peng. Golden Runes surrounded his body as the extreme Yang and unyielding aspect of the Kun Peng Technique erupted. This clash caused the entire sky to tremble. The space shattered, and the spiritual energy ripples fluctuated violently. The fierce power even made some of the weaker people vomit blood. They couldn¡¯t withstand the power of the aftermath. Many people were shocked. Such a terrifying collision, was it really a battle between Almighties? Chapter 695 - 695 God of Wars Stance 695 God of War¡¯s Stance When the ripples of spiritual energy dissipated, the space recovered on its own. People were shocked to see the scene within. Lin Mo¡¯s body was spotless, and the golden runes on his body had disappeared. He had not suffered any damage. On the other hand, the Golden Dragon Elephant spat out a mouthful of blood. The web between its thumb and forefinger had cracked as it was sent flying into the ground, sinking deep into it. ¡°How is this possible?¡± The previously proud Golden Yak could not believe it. Among those present, only the Golden Dragon Elephant had been capable of competing with him. The two of them had similar cultivation bases and similar laws, so their strength was on par. However, he had not been able to receive Lin Mo¡¯s punch and had been sent flying. The Golden Dragon Elephant was also shocked and its eyes burned like torches as it stared at Lin Mo. On the other side, Lin Mo had the same thoughts as everyone else. He was slightly shocked by the strength of the Golden Dragon Elephant. His punch contained the divine power of the Kun Peng, so it was not easy to take. If it was someone else, even if the other party was a King tier, he would have been killed with a single punch without leaving even a trace. ¡°There¡¯s a Golden Dragon Elephant and a Golden Yak. They have strong bodies and are capable of cultivating the power of pure yang¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a great supplement for pure yang. After hunting, I¡¯ll be able to go back and treat Qilin to some hot pot¡­ muttered Lin Mo to himself. However, when the Golden Yak and the Golden Dragon Elephant heard Lin Mo¡¯s words, they were furious. They had never been insulted like this. ¡°Go to hell!¡± The Golden Yak and the Golden Dragon Elephant attacked at the same time. They each threw a punch, and the terrifying power tore the space apart. ¡°Dragon Elephant Earth-Splitting!¡± ¡°Bull¡¯s Strength.¡± The martial arts technique that the two of them used were innate spells that had been passed down by their race, which could greatly increase their attack power. Lin Mo did not hold back either. The Kun Peng wings on his back spread out, revealing black and white colors. The runes on his body also changed from gold to yin and yang. Black and white runes circulated as he used the laws of yin and yang. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo punched out with both fists and received the attack head-on. The Kun Peng¡¯s divine power was contained in his fists, and it was displayed by Lin Mo¡¯s extremely powerful body. ¡°Suppress and kill.¡± The Golden Dragon Elephant and the Golden Yak roared and used all their strength to suppress Lin Mo. ¡°What a terrifying strength. I feel that the two of them will be able to take down this kid if they join forces.¡± When the four people behind them saw this scene, they finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, just as they relaxed, the Yin Yang and Taichi diagrams appeared in front of them. Lin Mo raised his hand and pointed, using Mismatched Yin Yang. Two terrifying forces spread, and with a crack, the Golden Yak¡¯s horns broke, and its huge body flew out. The Golden Dragon Elephant was not in a good state either. The energy had pierced through its chest. If it had not dodged in time, its heart would have been pierced. Two huge figures were sent flying, crashing into dozens of mountains and leaving two hundred-meter-deep ravines on the ground. ¡°How could he be defeated so quickly?¡± People were in a state of shock as they couldn¡¯t believe what they had just witnessed. Even if the four of them joined forces, they would not be able to defeat the two of them easily. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s attack together. We¡¯ve underestimated the God Devourer Body. His fighting power is still terrifying even without a magic artifact.¡± One of the men stated that at first, he had thought that he wouldn¡¯t have to do anything, but he had not expected things to get out of control. ¡°That¡¯s right, let¡¯s attack together and kill him,¡± said the woman with wings as she began to attack. ¡°So, you¡¯ve finally decided to attack me together? It¡¯s just as well. I¡¯ve been feeling really stifled recently¡­¡± sneered Lin Mo. The Inner Demon Pearl brought by the Yin Yang Fruit had made it difficult for him to break through, and he had to fight a tough battle that almost killed him. It had even caused the Qilin to activate the Eye of Destiny and suffer the most severe backlash. The matter between Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue had also gone through many twists and turns, which made him very annoyed. He felt that nothing he did was going smoothly. ¡°How arrogant! With the six of us combined, even a top-tier master will die,¡± said one of the men. They came from different powers, so it was not easy for them to join forces. It was rare for them to attack at the same time. Moreover, there were hundreds of subordinates nearby, holding killing formation flags and setting up killing formations to help. ¡°It¡¯d be useless even if the Qilin came to help the God Devourer today,¡± roared the Golden Dragon Elephant as it crawled out of the ravine. These words were quite arrogant. If the Qilin really came, these people would probably lose their will to fight. The only reason he dared to make a move when facing Lin Mo now was because he felt that Lin Mo¡¯s realm had not caught up. ¡°You should have done this earlier. Today, I¡¯ll let you know what the gap is. The expression on Lin Mo¡¯s face remained calm as he spoke indifferently. ¡°I¡¯ve just complimented you on your human God Devourer Body. Do you really think you¡¯re invincible? The power of the God Devourer Body will only be revealed in the later stages.¡± The Golden Yak laughed coldly. It reattached its horns and stomped on the ground with its iron hooves, charging forward with the Golden Dragon Elephant. ¡°BOOM!¡± In response, the wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back flapped, and a divine light burst forth. A terrifying fluctuation spread out, and the two of them were once again sent flying. The divine light exploded, leaving several wounds on his body. ¡°Kill!¡± Lin Mo roared in anger. The mountains shook and the earth cracked. It was as if a savage dragon had appeared and was stirring up the wind and clouds. The winged woman¡¯s true form was that of a golden roc. At this moment, she was suppressed by the terrifying pressure and could not use her full strength. Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng Divine Art attack swept her down and blood began to seep out from the corner of her mouth. At that moment, Lin Mo was like a god of war in the sky. His black hair danced in the wind, and his eyes were like lightning as he unleashed his full power. Today, he wanted to let those people who had underestimated him know that those few realms were nothing in front of Lin Mo. ¡°You have the strongest killing intent towards me. Which clan are you from?¡± Lin Mo asked as he sent a man flying with the palm of his hand. ¡°You stole our Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. I¡¯ll make you pay with your life today,¡± said the man angrily. He kicked out with both legs, leaving afterimages behind. His speed was so fast that even Lin Mo was slightly surprised. ¡°So, these are Teng Feng¡¯s underlings. No wonder they¡¯re so weak.¡± Lin Mo sneered as he caught the attack with one hand. Then, he pointed his fingers like a sword and threw out a beam of sword qi. The six of them acted as if they were facing a great enemy. At this moment, they really didn¡¯t dare to hold back on their powers. This was because Lin Mo¡¯s strength was simply too terrifying. He seemed to be facing the joint attack of six people with ease. In fact, they had not even seen Lin Mo use his God Devourer Body. In other words, they had not forced Lin Mo to use his full strength yet¡­ ¡°The God Devourer Body¡¯s combat strength is so terrifying. This is why his realm is behind¡­¡± someone mumbled. He was a little shaken because even if he went all out, he realized that he still wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything to Lin Mo. A few of their subordinates had even set up a killing formation and came over to help. However, Lin Mo had the extreme speed of the Kun Peng. They had just come over with the killing formation when they were killed by Lin Mo with lightning speed. The posture of a god of war was fully displayed as he fought alone against a group of heroes. The title of King was well deserved. ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant. Without a doubt, you will die today. Whatever I say, it¡¯s useless no matter who comes,¡± said the Golden Roc lady, as a golden light bloomed from between her brows. Even though she was being suppressed by the Kun Peng¡¯s spell technique, her battle prowess was still strong. At this moment, as he was using a secret technique, his entire body bloomed with golden light. A layer of golden armor formed from symbols that appeared on his body. At this moment, her aura was soaring, and her spiritual energy cultivation had reached the first level of the King realm. Her speed increased again and she managed to resist the pressure of the Kun Peng. Chapter 696 - 696 Using All His Means 696 Using All His Means v Attacking Lin Mo at top speed, a few golden feathers gathered together to form a sharp golden sword. This was a technique of the Golden Roc tribe. After countless years of improvement, it had long since detached itself from the Kun Peng¡¯s technique. Even though he was unable to break free from the suppression of his bloodline, he had researched other secret techniques to make up for it. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s go all out. If this continues, we will all die¡­¡± The Golden Yak roared, and blood-colored runes then appeared on its body. The others were the same. Some of them had dense soul fluctuations, while some of them had their life force increased. They had all used their own secret techniques to forcefully increase their strength, and all of them had reached the first sky of King realm. The Golden Yak and the Golden Dragon Elephant especially were only one step away from the second realm. Seeing this, Lin Mo did not dare to be careless and decided to wait for the attack. Although he could rival the King tiers, he was just an ordinary person. In his lifetime, the most he would be able to become was a King tier. However, these six were different. Each of them had an extraordinary talent and had the potential to become a giant in the future. They had already reached the King tier realm, and that was no laughing matter. Their battle prowess had increased drastically. ¡°Hey!¡± The sword broke through the sky, and a golden light bloomed. The Golden Roc woman held the golden sword and slashed forward. Black and white qi swirled around Lin Mo¡¯s eyes as he stepped into the void. As the Yin Yang Taichi diagram hovered above his head, the light it released melted the sword qi. At the same time, purple patterns appeared under his feet. It was the Qilin mark condensed. He took nine steps in the air and used the Nine Qilin Steps. Terrifying waves spread out, attacking the Golden Dragon Elephant and the Golden Yak. In addition, he used his fingers like a sword and slashed downwards. Dazzling sword qi exploded and suppressed the Golden Roc lady. The Yin Yang Taichi diagram above his head descended and arrived in front of Lin Mo. He pointed with his right finger, and the two forces of yin and yang converged. The powerful attack blocked the last two people. Even if everyone attacked together, they would still be unable to get close to Lin Mo. ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked. What kind of strength was this? He had not even tried to dodge and merely accepted the attacks of the six Kings head-on. The invincible aura that he exuded from his hands and feet made everyone breathless. ¡°Quickly activate the killing formation and help the lords.¡± In the distance, formation flags were raised. They were afraid. The six masters had used their trump cards, but even they were still not a match. They didn¡¯t dare to get close, because it was useless. All Lin Mo need to do was to attack and he would be able to destroy the heavens and earth. Only the six great masters were capable of blocking him. The only thing they could do now was to create some trouble for Lin Mo with the killing formation and give the six lords a chance to attack. ¡°Kill!¡± A terrifying killing formation was set up, and flaming runes spread out. A flaming bird was formed, and it charged towards Lin Mo. ¡°Ants.¡± Lin Mo sneered. What effect could this hastily set up killing formation have against him? It was not even capable of exhausting him. With a wave of the palm of his hand, the flame bird crumbled, and even the person who had set up the killing formation started to vomit blood as he suffered a backlash. ¡°Hey!¡± All of a sudden, there was a flash of blood. A blood-stained dagger pierced through the air and rushed towards Lin Mo¡¯s eyes and broke his protective rune. It was a very powerful magic tool, about a Level 6 or Level 7 of the Heaven grade. The Golden Yak was the one who had activated it. It had used special runes to ignore the suppression of the formation and launched a sneak attack, aiming directly at the space between Lin Mo¡¯s eyebrows. ¡°They¡¯ve started their sneak attack?¡± Lin Mo did not find it strange. These people had endless means, so it was reasonable that they would have hidden tricks up their sleeves. ¡°You¡¯re able to use magic weapons?¡± The five people who were working with the Golden Yak were also shocked. This formation was from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. At first, when the Golden Yak said that no one could use the magical weapon, they had believed it. But now, this was a deep calculation. If not for Lin Mo¡¯s terrifying combat power, they would have been tricked by the Golden Yak. ¡°Go to hell! All subordinates of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, change the formation,¡± roared the Golden Yak, no longer in hiding. Lin Mo was slightly surprised. He looked around and saw that someone had started to activate the formation flags and change the way the formation operated. However, he did not panic. A black halo appeared on the surface of his body, and the dagger was thrust towards the space between his eyebrows before being swallowed into the black hole. ¡°Crack.¡± The space behind his head shattered, and the dagger pierced through all the way out. It moved in a strange manner, but it did not hurt Lin Mo at all. This was the power of the God Devourer Body. As Lin Mo researched it, its abilities were gradually revealed. It was able to devour the attack the moment it arrived. Generally speaking, it would be directly annihilated in the black hole. However, this dagger was obviously something extraordinary, so it wasn¡¯t destroyed and merely went all the way through. ¡°Clang.¡± The dagger was thrust at him again, but Lin Mo caught it with his bare hands. The sound of metal hitting metal could be heard. Although the dagger was extremely sharp and indestructible, a black luster appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s palm, which could swallow all power. The black hole on the surface of his body immediately wrapped around the dagger, making it unable to escape. ¡°Hmm, how is that possible?¡± The Golden Yak was shocked. He had not expected Lin Mo¡¯s physical body to be so terrifying. Coupled with the unpredictable ability of the God Devourer Body, he was actually able to restrict a Level 7 Heaven-class Magic Weapon. ¡°What a pity, there are soul marks¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Although he had restrained it, he couldn¡¯t move it. Furthermore, there were special formation patterns engraved on it. This was probably the reason why it could be used in a formation. Lin Mo did not show any mercy. He clenched his fist tightly, making it impossible for it to escape. The Kun Peng¡¯s divine power appeared and started to expel the runes engraved on it. ¡°You guys, hurry up and attack!¡± The Golden Yak shouted in shock. It had not expected that it would not be able to do anything to Lin Mo even after using its trump card. Hearing this, the others didn¡¯t hesitate and quickly attacked. However, Lin Mo¡¯s strength was terrifying. The Kun Peng Wings on his back extended and yin and yang qi surrounded him. ¡°Kun Peng Divine Light.¡± The endless divine light fell and blocked all the attacks from the group of five people. No one was able to attack. The Golden Yak¡¯s heart ached as he watched Lin Mo erase the runes on the dagger. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± As the runes disappeared, the formation that enveloped the area began to operate. An inexplicable power descended and suppressed the dagger. The fluctuations of the magical artifact returned to calmness, and no one could activate it or summon it¡­ ¡°This thing is good and it¡¯s mine now.¡± Lin Mo grinned and kept it in the system space. Since he got it here, this magic weapon would belong to him. ¡°B*stard, you¡¯re just courting death.¡± The Golden Yak roared, and its aura was the same as the formation. Two magic weapons appeared in his hands. One was a huge saber and the other was a Jade Ruyi Scepter. There were formation patterns engraved on these items which were closely related to the formation. Just then, the rest of the people also flew over. The six masters unleashed their killer moves at the same time, using all their strength. As Lin Mo raised his hand to catch the huge saber, the Jade Ruyi scepter above him spun and divine light descended. It brushed past Lin Mo¡¯s protective runes and actually melted them. One had to know that his protective runes had previously been able to withstand these people¡¯s killing moves without being damaged. Now that it was being melted, one could imagine the terrifying power of the Jade Ruyi Scepter. ¡°Come on.¡± Lin Mo bellowed as he spread his wings. Golden and black runes began to appear on his body, and Kun Peng runes surrounded him. ¡°Crash!¡± A vast ocean seemed to have appeared between the heavens and the earth, with endless surging waves. Chapter 697 - 697 Killing in All Directions 697 Killing in All Directions Lin Mo¡¯s entire being transformed. He leaped into the air and transformed into a huge fish in the sea. His entire body was pitch-black with golden runes within. Rising with the waves, its huge body received everyone¡¯s attacks, but it was not injured at all. ¡°The Kun Peng¡¯s technique is indeed terrifying¡­¡± The rest of the people were shocked. This was only the beginning of the spell, but it had actually caused a natural phenomenon. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo exploded, creating huge waves as he transformed into a bird. He looked like a golden roc, and with a flap of his wings, he looked like he had flown up to the nine heavens in the blink of an eye. The Kun Peng unleashed all kinds of techniques, transforming them into martial arts techniques and displaying them. As the golden wings flapped, it looked as if the stars in the sky were falling as huge meteorites fell from the sky, shrouding the area. It covered an unknown range of miles. The mountain range was destroyed, and no living creature could escape. The subordinates of the six major forces had suffered heavy casualties, and even their formations had been affected. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Some people who were hiding in the runes formation were also affected and were blown away with horrified expressions on their faces. As for the Golden Yak and the others, all they could do was run away under the onslaught of the meteorites. They did not dare to take them head-on. At this moment, they felt as though they were going through some kind of tribulation. Facing the might of the heavens, this was simply too terrifying. ¡°Dragon Elephant Suppressing the Sky.¡± At this moment, the Golden Dragon Elephant roared and its body suddenly expanded. A golden light curtain covered the surroundings and actually blocked the falling meteorites. In front of Lin Mo, the shadow of a dragon and an elephant appeared and started to attack. This attack was extremely terrifying. Each of the Dragon Elephant¡¯s attacks could tear space apart, and even Lin Mo did not dare to take it head-on. ¡°That¡¯s amazing,¡± praised Lin Mo. The Golden Dragon Elephant was probably the most powerful of the six. It was not to be underestimated since it was able to withstand Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng technique. He flapped his wings slightly, and endless golden light bloomed, instantly shattering the light screen. The Golden Dragon Elephant¡¯s spiritual energy was exhausted after launching this attack. It could no longer sustain itself and was hit by the golden light. It was severely injured in an instant. However, even so, he was unwilling to give up. His huge body slammed towards Lin Mo. Seeing this, the rest of the people also made their moves. This was the Golden Dragon Elephant¡¯s last attack, and they had to make good use of it. ¡°It¡¯s time to end the battle,¡± said Lin Mo coldly as a circle of black light spread from his energy center. It was extremely fast. Within a thousand miles, the black hole covered the world and absorbed endless spiritual qi. ¡°Abyssal Devouring¡­¡± The God Devourer Body¡¯s ability was on full display, and its domineering side shocked everyone. At this moment, the formation that sealed this place was also in imminent danger. Its energy was constantly being devoured and was about to be broken. In the next moment, Lin Mo¡¯s body glowed. Black and white light shot out. This was an attack condensed from Kun Peng runes and contained the divine power of Kun Peng. Lin Mo controlled the entire attack and focused it on the Golden Dragon Elephant. ¡°Is this his true combat strength¡­¡± The Golden Dragon Elephant was overwhelmed with fear and his eyes were filled with despair. He was a master that had been born in the Golden Dragon Elephant clan in the last ten thousand years. There was hope for his bloodline to return to its ancestor and create another glorious era. But now, he had been killed by a human whose cultivation level was lower than his, ending his opportunities in the ancient battlefield¡­ ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not willing¡­¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± The black-and-white light pierced through the space between his eyebrows. Everyone was shocked. They had underestimated the power of Lin Mo¡¯s attack. The Golden Dragon Elephant¡¯s huge body fell and crushed a mountain. Between his eyebrows, a jade talisman rose into the air, carrying a true spirit. It was the soul of the Golden Dragon Elephant. The jade talisman had saved his life and would allow him to be revived perfectly when he left the ancient battlefield. But now, his opportunity had ended there and he was unable to enter again. One of the top one hundred talents on the Hidden Dragon List had left just like that. Everyone was shocked. This was too unbelievable. ¡°Well, his soul has been taken away, but his body and blood are still there. I have some ingredients for tonight.¡± Initially, Lin Mo had wondered if the jade talisman would take his physical body along with it but now, he was relieved that it hadn¡¯t. ¡°Collect!¡± Lin Mo grabbed the Golden Dragon Elephant¡¯s body and kept it in the system space. ¡°Everyone, prepare to go all out. He has the speed of the Kun Peng. We won¡¯t be able to escape. This person is too strong.¡± The woman from the Golden Roc clan said. She knew that it would be impossible to escape today, so all she could do now was fight to the death. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body flickered with lights from the talisman. The Abyssal Devouring had brought him endless spiritual qi. ¡°Brother Yak, tell your men to hold on. Once the formation is broken, we¡¯ll be dead for sure,¡± said one man, knowing that they were in a bad situation. ¡°You¡¯re talking about an iron plate. I know too little about the God Devourer Body¡­¡± Some people shook their heads bitterly. ¡°Are you guys saying your last words?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. ¡°Attack with all your might.¡± The Golden Yak had transformed back to its original form. Its two huge horns looked like they were made of gold, shining with golden light. ¡°Are you in a hurry for me to add more?¡± Before Lin Mo attacked, he did not forget to mock him. ¡°Go to hell!¡± The Golden Yak roared, and a saber flew out from its back. With the power of the formation, the saber displayed its extreme power. This was the most powerful attack he could use. With a single slash, he could tear the sky apart. ¡°Pfft!¡± As the blade fell, Lin Mo felt a sharp pain in the palm of his hand and a stream of red blood flowed out. His defense had been broken. He had been strengthened many times by the God Devourer Body, and he had cultivated his body with countless natural materials and treasures to achieve the supreme physical body. Lin Mo was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he had truly been injured since the start of the battle. One could imagine how sharp the saber was, and how powerful it was when combined with the formation. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, that¡¯s all¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. This was all he could do with his most powerful attack. If the Golden Yak had the top combat power of the same realm, Lin Mo might have truly been in danger today. He turned his hand around and grabbed the saber, snatching it over and using Kun Peng runes to suppress it. Then, a few golden feathers appeared in his hand and turned into a sharp sword. He stabbed it forward, aiming for the center of the other party¡¯s brows. However, the other four didn¡¯t stay idle either. They attacked together. He used his most powerful killing move to help the Golden Yak out of the situation, and at the same time, they attacked Lin Mo together. The five experts began to fight with all their might, fearlessly launching attacks. The sharp sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand was scattered. At the same time, he also felt a slight sweetness in his throat. He had suffered some internal injuries from the shock of this terrifying attack. ¡°It¡¯s too late for you to risk your life now.¡± Lin Mo swallowed the blood in his throat and activated the Abyssal Devouring again. The formation was in great danger and seemed to be on the verge of being destroyed. The suppression of the magic weapons was also reduced to a minimum. With a ¡®clang¡¯, Lin Mo took out his demon spear. Although he couldn¡¯t use his full strength, it was more than enough to deal with these five people. Lin Mo¡¯s black hair fluttered in the wind. He was like a Demon King as he began to reap the lives of the crowd. ¡°Continue to attack and block him.¡± Not only the five masters, but the people in the distance also made their moves, all of them targeting Lin Mo. However, Lin Mo, who was holding the War Demon Spear, had the support of the endless spiritual qi by the Abyssal Devouring, and his combat power was unparalleled. With just a sweep, people were forced back. Some people couldn¡¯t withstand the backlash and died. Lin Mo¡¯s pursuit was unstoppable. Chapter 698 - 698 Exterminate All 698 Exterminate All The female golden roc was the first to be killed. Lin Mo¡¯s spear pierced through her forehead, and her soul was saved by the jade talisman. The Golden Yak wanted to save her, but unfortunately, it was a step too late. At the same time, it also put itself in danger. Lin Mo quickly attacked. The long spear furiously smashed down, destroying everything in its path. The golden horn on its forehead was instantly shattered. The Golden Yak let out a blood-curdling screech as its skull shattered. Its huge body collapsed and died. Two people had already died in battle, and the remaining three had unspeakable grievances. They were no match for Lin Mo at all. At this moment, the formation collapsed. The spiritual qi of the person who had set up the formation was exhausted and devoured by the God Devourer Body. ¡°It¡¯s over¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at the three of them. The power of the War Demon Spear had been completely unleashed and could no longer be suppressed. With three strikes, the three of them were killed and their souls were taken away by the jade talismans, ending the fight for opportunities in the ancient battlefield. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Many people in the distance screamed. All six leaders were now dead, having faced Lin Mo, who was almost at full strength. The power of the God Devourer Body was so terrifying that they now felt completely hopeless. Lin Mo did not show any mercy to these people. After all, they had been here to surround him and the Qilin. If he lost today, then these people would have a different face. After repeated killings by the War Demon Spear, the entire mountain range was covered in a mist of blood. The six forces that had come to surround him and the Qilin were all annihilated. It could be said to be a scene of bloodshed. [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The auction is about to begin. Please return to Lin City as soon as possible. ] The system¡¯s notification sounded, stating that the reward for completing the quest was a return interest of 50000 times the auction price of the finale treasure. The Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree had a 50000-fold interest return, so it was at least a quasi-immortal tree. He cleaned up the battlefield and took away some valuable inner cores, spiritual stones, spiritual herbs, semi-magic medicines, and other precious ores. After the rest of the messy scrolls had been collected and placed into the system space, there were no hidden treasures found. The most precious items were the three Level 7 Heaven-realm magic weapons. [ The Dragon Tooth Dagger is made from the tooth of a Saint stage true dragon. It contains the qi of a true dragon and is capable of breaking through protective runes. ] The short dagger¡¯s origin was so terrifying that Lin Mo was shocked. The dragon tooth could be said to be the toughest material in the world. Although it was only at the Saint realm, it was still extraordinary. In the previous battle, Lin Mo had felt a threat from him, which was why he had used the power of the God Devourer Body. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured. [ The Void Saber is made of void pure gold and is capable of cutting through the void. Its moves are unpredictable and hard to grasp. ] [ The Eight-Treasure Ruyi Scepter is made of life essence gold. It contains an endless aura of life. When fighting with others, it keeps going. ] Lin Mo was very satisfied with the three treasures he had obtained. The most precious one was the Dragon Tooth Dagger, which he had to make good use of. ¡°It would be great if I have similar missions in the future¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as he left the mountain range. This had been a very rich harvest¡­ At that moment, outside the ancient battlefield, in front of the Hidden Dragon List. There were people from various great sects, clans, and races waiting here. After the ancient battlefield had been opened, it continued to be unstable in this world. However, each force left a group of people here to wait for their own disciples to come out. ¡°Whoosh!¡± All of a sudden, the Hidden Dragon List glowed brightly, and the Law of Space converged, attracting people¡¯s attention. ¡°Hey, another master from the Hidden Dragon List has been eliminated. As the time has passed, more than a hundred people have been killed¡­¡± People sighed. They didn¡¯t know which faction¡¯s people had been eliminated this time, and who had killed them. ¡°Eh, something¡¯s not right.¡± Some people noticed the abnormality. When they saw the physical body of the Hidden Dragon List, they were shocked. Because right now, there were six figures on the Hidden Dragon List. ¡°There were actually six people who have been eliminated?¡± People from all sides were dumbfounded. These were six people on the Hidden Dragon List, and they had all appeared at the same time. What kind of person could kill six masters at the same time? Was this some kind of chaotic battle? ¡°Oh my god, why is it them¡­¡± When the physical body was formed, the crowd was in an uproar. They found it unbelievable. They were none other than the six masters who had been killed by Lin Mo. The top one hundred geniuses in the Hidden Dragon List had been the future hope of their respective clans¡­ ¡°How could this be? How could the pride of the Dragon Elephant Clan be defeated?¡± One middle-aged man roared in anger. The man was extremely unwilling to accept this, and his roar shook the heavens and earth, attracting the attention of everyone. At the same time, he was also shocked that one of the six had been the pride of the Dragon Elephant Clan. That was a race with extremely terrifying combat strength, and even he had been killed. ¡°Stop howling. Look at the other one. His true form is the golden yak. He is the descendant of a powerful elder of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡­¡± It was not known who said this, but everyone¡¯s eyes turned to the middle of the crowd at the same time. That sturdy young man was a golden yak from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. This time, people from all sides were shocked. Even people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion were killed. As for Xiao Yun, had he met a such strong enemy that he couldn¡¯t even protect his own people from? ¡°Hmph¡­¡± As they stood in front of the Hidden Dragon List, the six people¡¯s eyes turned cold. They then flicked their sleeves and left without saying a word. However, this matter could not be hidden. An old senior with terrifying strength appeared and asked for the specific reason. Although they were masters, they still had not matured yet. In front of their seniors, they still had to restrain their arrogance. ¡°What? God Devourer Lin Mo¡­¡± After hearing their explanation, everyone was shocked. They felt like they were living in a dream. ¡°A Level 5 Almighty killed the six of them all by himself and the most serious injury he got was just a little scratch?¡± Everyone fell silent. They didn¡¯t know what to say. With Lin Mo¡¯s combat power, if he were to grow, the Northern Continents would have another terrifying sect. ¡°He has studied Kun Peng¡¯s inheritance thoroughly. When he uses it, no one in the same realm can be his match¡­¡± A Saint sighed softly. The combination of the God Devourer Body and the Kun Peng Art was too terrifying. It was a pity that the ancient battlefield was guarded by the Hidden Dragon List. No one could enter and interfere before opening time. Now that the God Devourer Body and the Qilin girl had joined forces, people couldn¡¯t help but worry that their masters would be killed ¡­ ¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 9 Earth-grade Ore, the Star Meteorite. ] [ Successfully triggered 4000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-grade Level 1 Ore, Solar Meteorite. ] When Lin Mo returned to Lin City, the auction had already begun. Since Zhao Tianyu was hosting, he didn¡¯t bother to take over. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, did you experience a great battle?¡± As soon as he returned, he saw the Qilin behind the auction stage. The moment he saw the Qilin, the little girl smelt the blood on his body. After all, he had killed all the intruders and not let a single one escape. Even though he had cleaned up the smell on his body, it was inevitable that some blood was left behind, which the Qilin could smell. ¡°There were enemies coming, so I went to settle the problem. By the way, why did you come out?¡± Lin Mo smiled. He had asked Qilin to protect Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue. This little girl had always been obedient. Why had she run out today? Chapter 699 - 699 Recruitment 699 Recruitment ¡°That¡¯s because we¡¯ve come out of seclusion. Brother Lin, I can¡¯t thank you enough for this. I¡¯ll remember this forever. Behind him, two women walked over. They looked very attractive and were smiling. Perhaps it was because they had been burned by fire for such a long time that their skin had turned pale and there were faint wisps of immortal qi on their bodies. This was a natural phenomenon, and it was very novel. ¡°What are your attributes?¡± Lin Mo looked at Mao Zhu and realized that the latter seemed to have re-cultivated. Her attribute had changed to fire and she had a Nirvana Phoenix Fire in her body¡­ Hearing this, the smile on Mao Zhu¡¯s face became even wider, and she thanked Lin Mo. ¡°I¡¯ve re-cultivated the Nine Phoenix Fire Technique. Xiao Xue gave me a wisp of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire.¡± Although this flame was incomplete, it had a trace of origin. As long as she had enough opportunity and fed it with divine medicine, she would be able to turn this small flame into a whole fire in the future. At that time, her battle prowess would then improve even further. Furthermore, since she had cultivated the same technique as Song Lianxue, their flames were of the same origin, and their combined strength were not to be underestimated. ¡°Big Sister Mao Zhu and Big Sister Song are very strong when they work together. It took Qilin a lot of effort to win.¡± Qilin laughed. They had left the house to spar and encountered Lin Mo on their way back. ¡°That¡¯s good, let¡¯s go together to prevent anyone from causing trouble.¡± Lin Mo smiled and headed to the auction stage with the three of them to intimidate anyone who would try to play any tricks. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 1 Heaven-class Martial Art, Palm of Creation. ] [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Heaven-class Martial Art, Mysterious Sky Palm of Creation. ] The system¡¯s notification sounded. In the past, he would have been interested in a Level 4 Heaven-class Martial Art. But it was a pity that he now had the Kun Peng Art which could evolve just one technique into ten thousand techniques, and many martial arts techniques related to the Kun Peng could also be evolved. Therefore, he had a lower demand for martial arts techniques, unless it was the kind that was extremely heaven-defying and powerful. ¡°By the way, Miss Mao Zhu, Miss Song, I have a request. I don¡¯t know if you will agree to it. When he saw these martial arts techniques, he suddenly remembered that he had a martial arts book that he had long forgotten. It seemed to be about body cultivation¡­ Back then, when the immemorial divine beasts had been auctioned off, he had also auctioned the Vermillion Bird. [ Cloud Piercing Four Spirits ]. The rebate he had received was the ¡°Vermillion Bird Divine Flame, which he had once taken the time to read. It was the body-tempering technique of the Vermillion Bird clan. After cultivating to a great degree, one could transform into a Vermilion Bird, and their combat power would skyrocket. At the same time, their physical body would be strengthened, and their attacks would contain the divine flames of the Vermilion Bird. Now that Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue had the Nirvana Phoenix Fire in their bodies and had cultivated the Nine Phoenix Fire Technique, the scorching Vermilion Bird body was the most suitable for them. ¡°Are you trying to win us over?¡± Mao Zhu was smart and immediately saw through Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. Hearing this, Song Lianxue was put in a difficult position. She came from the Snow Valley, and although she didn¡¯t receive any special treatment, her family had been disciples of the Snow Valley clan for generations. She would probably be laughed at by the world if she betrayed Lin Mo after receiving his kindness. ¡°I¡¯ll join unconditionally. Xiao Xue will be fine. She¡¯s from the Snow Valley, after all,¡± said Mao Zhu as she grabbed Song Lianxue¡¯s hand. Before Lin Mo could say anything, she had already answered for the two of them. ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless as he rolled his eyes. ¡°Have I ever told you that I¡¯m a rogue cultivator?¡± However, as soon as he said that, Mao Zhu looked at him in disbelief. What she said next left Lin Mo speechless. ¡°The Bai family of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Souls in the southern sky region. Isn¡¯t that the family you swore to join?¡± The Qilin scratched its head. When it saw the unfriendly look in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, it smiled awkwardly and tried to escape. ¡°Little girl, have you revealed everything about me?¡± Lin Mo grabbed the Qilin and pulled her small ears as he spoke to her fiercely. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± The Qilin put on a pitiful look and quibbled, ¡°You¡¯ve even given them a Heaven-grade cultivation technique. Why can¡¯t you tell them where you came from¡­¡± Lin Mo could not bear to see the Qilin in such a pitiful state, even though he knew that the little girl was just pretending¡­ ¡°You can¡¯t tell anyone else in the future, or the consequences will be disastrous¡­¡± said Lin Mo with a serious expression on his face. The Eastern Continent was considered his hometown, and there were many old friends living there¡­ Therefore, the fewer people who knew, the better. After all, he had offended many people. If an absolute Saint peeked into their soul memories and found out about it, the information would be leaked. If those people can¡¯t find him, then they won¡¯t be able to find the Eastern Continent¡­ ¡°I know¡­¡± Knowing that it had done something wrong, the Qilin lowered her head and wrung her fingers, as if it was admitting her mistake. ¡°Brother Lin, don¡¯t worry. After Xiao Xue and I found out, we asked the Qilin to seal our memories.¡± Mao Zhu had persuaded the Qilin to do so because she knew that this secret was important to Lin Mo. Therefore, after they knew about it, they asked Qilin to seal their souls with Qilin runes, along with the ¡°Nine Phoenix Fire Technique¡±. Unless an Emperor-level expert made a move, no one would be able to pry into this memory. Breaking the seal by force would only cause their souls to be destroyed and they would not be able to obtain anything. ¡°I¡¯ve burdened you all¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Although they were able to keep it a secret, they now had the qi of a Qilin on them. He didn¡¯t know what kind of treatment the Snow Valley master would give Song Lianxue¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s get back to the topic. I¡¯m not inviting you to join the Bai family.¡± He shook his head. After all, the distance was too far. The two of them would probably not be willing to be separated. ¡°Then what does Brother Lin mean?¡± The two of them were puzzled. ¡°The Molin Chamber of Commerce will not be disbanding. I plan to continue doing this business in the Northern Continent.¡± This was the only way he would be able to obtain more resources to satisfy the cultivation of the God Devourer Body. Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that he could move freely in the Northern Continent. However, this was a story for the future. Now, the Molin Chamber of Commerce needed a real core figure. Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian were not bad, and Lin Mo wanted to rope them in as well. And because it was a Chamber of Commerce, there weren¡¯t many restrictions on freedom. Disciples from other races could join, and Song Lianxue would be able to come as well. ¡°Of course I¡¯m willing.¡± The two of them agreed without any hesitation. The Snow Valley clan would not stop them from joining their friend¡¯s Chamber of Commerce. In fact, they would even support them. After all, this was Lin Mo¡¯s and Qilin¡¯s Chamber of Commerce, and their future was limitless. Perhaps in a thousand or ten thousand years, the Molin Chamber of Commerce would become a powerful force that could dominate a state. ¡°That¡¯s great. I still have secret techniques and martial arts techniques that will suit you very well. Take it as a benefit of joining us.¡± After getting a satisfactory answer, Lin Mo was not stingy. He cultivated the second level of the true Phoenix¡¯s Nirvana technique and the body-tempering martial art, the scorching Vermilion Bird body. The two were around the Level 6 or Level 7 Heaven- class. To Lin Mo, who could control the Kun Peng Art technique, it was of no use. He would not feel bad giving it away. ¡°This¡­¡± Seeing such precious secret techniques and martial arts, Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. The benefits of joining were simply too astonishing. Even a Saint of a great sect would need to have astonishing achievements in cultivation to obtain a secret martial technique of this level. However, Lin Mo had given it to them directly, so they were at a loss for words. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo smiled and nodded. ¡°Take it. When we face strong enemies in the future, all you need to do is help me.¡± Chapter 700 - 700 Dragon 700 Dragon-Eating Beast Back in the Northern Continent, he had been surrounded by enemies on all sides. It was only after he had met the Qilin that he had found a companion. As for Mu Yuzhu, she was merely a cooperative partner who had joined forces for the sake of benefits. Now that Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu were here, the number of people around him gradually increased. ¡°Then it would be impolite for the two of us to refuse.¡± The two of them accepted the item and bid farewell to Lin Mo and the Qilin. They found a secret room and began to cultivate in seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, Lin Mo gave out the Mysterious Sky Palm of Creation that he had just obtained. After all, it was a Level 4 Heaven-class Martial Art. Although it was not as good as a Celestial grade, it was still precious. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯re giving away so many good things. Are you sure it¡¯s not because you¡¯re interested in them?¡± Qilin said with a smirk. Hearing this, Lin Mo raised his hand to teach the little girl a lesson, but she nimbly dodged and ran out. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 3 Heaven-rank Divine Medicine, Cherishing Flower and Fruit. ] [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Flowing Light Moon-Watching Fruit. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. Lin Mo was surprised to hear that it was a return of 10000 times the auction rebate. Cherishing Flower and Fruit. This was the second last item in this auction. It was a divine fruit that was extremely suitable for cultivation. The Flowing Light Moon-Watching Fruit contained extremely rich heaven and earth qi. Its effects would be very beneficial for both him and the Qilin. ¡°The finale is coming up, it¡¯s time to go out.¡± After summoning the Qilin, the two of them went to the auction stage. The auction was already lively, but with the appearance of Lin Mo and Qilin, the atmosphere reached its peak. ¡°Everyone, next up is the final treasure, the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, a Level 8 Heaven-realm Divine Tree.¡± After taking the auction hammer from Zhao Tianyu¡¯s hands, the Qilin also pushed a small cart up from behind. In the huge water tank, there was a fruit tree that was nearly two meters tall. There were also two fruits hanging on it. They were rich and plump, with a divine glow emitting from it. As soon as the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree appeared, everyone present became nervous. Lin Mo¡¯s sharp senses sensed hostility. There was someone who could no longer bear it anymore and his heart was wavering as to whether he should make a move. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s soul power spread out. The Qilin behind him also understood and locked onto the few people with Lin Mo. If anyone dared to make a move, they would have to face the attacks of these two. Those people were shocked. After realizing that they had been discovered, their faces filled with horror. The thought of making a move had only just appeared in their minds when they were discovered. If they really made a move, would they really be able to oppose them? In the end, reason triumphed over greed. Since it was an auction, they would have to use proper means to obtain the item. Perhaps, for the sake of his reputation, Lin Mo would even protect the successful bidder while in Lin City¡­ ¡°Everyone, the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree is extremely precious and the price of spiritual stones is too high. I don¡¯t think anyone can afford it.¡± Lin Mo looked down. A Level 8 Heaven-class Tree of God would cause a war between the great sects if it was in the outside world. Its price was over 10 billion because one could obtain a dozen Pseudo Dragon Fruits every 100 years as long as it was taken care of properly. This was a very important cultivation resource, and no one wanted to miss out on it. ¡°Therefore, this auction will be conducted through the barter system. Of course, if anyone can take out 10 billion upper spiritual stones, I will accept it.¡± Lin Mo then knocked the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. ¡°I¡¯ll give you three Level 7 Heaven-class Divine Pills and a Level 5 Heaven-class Martial Art. The first to bid was the master from the Earth Dragon tribe. He was bidding on behalf of Gu You. As a sub-Dragon species, he was unwilling to give up. ¡°Tsk, this is less than half the value of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. Does the Earth Dragon tribe still have the nerve to bid?¡± A man walked out of the private room. He was a member of the Wind Dragon race. ¡°Brother Lin, I am the number one prodigy of the Wind Dragon race and I¡¯m called Feng Xuan. I have a strong bloodline and am in urgent need of Pseudo Dragon Fruits to restore my bloodline back to its ancestors.¡± He continued, ¡°The treasures I have with me this time aren¡¯t that precious, but I hope that you can give me some face and allow me to buy on credit¡­¡± Everyone was shocked to hear that. The Wind Dragon Clan was really going all out for the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. However, the people from the Earth Dragon Clan weren¡¯t happy. They said, ¡°This is an auction, how can you buy on credit¡­¡± ¡°Sure, but the goods will only be handed over at the same time as the money is paid. Just name your price. I can wait for you for seven days¡­¡± Lin Mo did not mind this. The return on the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree had already been set. It would be 50000 times the value, and it would be at least a Quasi-Immortal grade Immortal Tree. Naturally, if he could sell more divine pills, he was willing to let them buy on credit. ¡°This ¡­¡± The people of the Earth Dragon clan¡¯s people were bewildered, and their faces darkened. ¡°Haha, then the Wind Dragon Clan will bid three Level 8 Heaven-class Divine Pills,¡± said the man from the Wind Dragon Clan with a laugh. ¡°Seeing how you guys are having such a lively fight, I also wanted to join in.¡± Just then, the door of the auction hall was pushed open, and a burly man walked in. He was more than two meters tall, and his strong muscles contained explosive power. The faces of the Earth Dragon Clan and the Wind Dragon Clan changed when they saw this man. ¡°This person is very strong. I can¡¯t tell what his original form is¡­¡± The Qilin, who was extremely sensitive to the auras of demonic beasts, transmitted her voice to Lin Mo, telling him what she felt. ¡°This is one of the four demon generals of the Behemoth Clan, Shentu Luo¡­¡± Someone mumbled as he revealed the man¡¯s identity, his voice was filled with fear. ¡°Behemoth? What kind of race is that?¡± Lin Mo and the Qilin were both confused. One of them had just been born and had little knowledge, while the other came from the barren Eastern Continent and had little knowledge¡­ In the end, it was Zhao Tianyu who informed him through voice transmission before he finally understood. He had not expected such an impressive race would come to Lin City¡­ ¡°The Behemoths, also known as Behemoth Beasts, are said to be dragon-eating Beasts. They are brutal and bloodthirsty, and their brute force is endless. They are terrifying fierce beasts of ancient times.¡± The strength of the Behemoth Clan could be ranked in the top ten even if they were against all the forces on the continent were combined together. The race¡¯s three Emperor-to-be experts had profound cultivation and often appeared in the world, wandering the starry sky. And this was the power that they had shown. No one knew how many more terrifying existences were hidden in the behemoth tribe¡­ ¡°A dragon-eating beast? How is that possible? How can a true dragon be so easy to deal with?¡± The Qilin quickly spoke up angrily before Zhao Tianyu could finish, its beautiful eyes staring at the behemoth that had just walked in. A faint hostility had already been emitted. In ancient times, true dragons were like the Qilin and ranked as divine beasts. Although there was no ranking among the divine beasts, a true dragon¡¯s combat strength could definitely be ranked in the top three, and it could even compete for first place. How could such a terrifying existence be considered as food? Who would dare to treat them as food? Hearing this, the burly man named Shentu Luo was shocked. The demonic qi on his body receded a little. He looked at the Qilin with some apprehension, but that was all. In the depths of his eyes, he showed a sense of longing for the Qilin. Lin Mo was very familiar with this kind of gaze. He was thinking about the Qilin blood. Seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes started to turn hostile. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not a true dragon. It¡¯s a sub-dragon, a powerful demonic beast with dragon blood.¡± Zhao Tianyu hurriedly explained as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was afraid that Qilin and Shentu Luo would start fighting. Chapter 701 - 701 Quasi 701 Quasi-Immortal Level Immortal Tree Even though Lin Mo was present, if an attack were really to start, the one to die would definitely be Shentu Luo. The other party would not even be able to escape. However, the Behemoth Clan wouldn¡¯t be easy to deal with. The three Emperor-to-be masters weren¡¯t sleeping or in seclusion. They could come into being and move around at any time. ¡°I might have thought you were right in the past, but after seeing it for myself today, I feel that my ancestors must have eaten real dragons. ¡°Perhaps the other divine beasts have also eaten one or two of them.¡± As Shentu Luo looked at the Qilin, the greed in his eyes became more and more obvious. ¡°If you say one more word, I promise you, you won¡¯t be able to walk out of Lin City.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s cold voice rang out. Although he was only a Level 5 Almighty, everyone present could feel the strong killing intent from the aura he emitted. ¡°I¡¯m just telling the truth. I¡¯m a golden behemoth, and my young master¡¯s bloodline is even purer. He¡¯s a purple-gold behemoth. ¡°However, in the history of my clan, there are those that are even stronger than the purple-gold behemoth.¡± Although he said that, Shentu Luo also restrained himself a little. At the very least, he did not dare to look at the Qilin without some restraint. ¡°If the divine beast Qilin is only at this level, then the so-called ancient divine beasts are very low¡­¡± Naturally, since he dared to say this, it meant that he had some confidence in his heart. However, he did feel pressure from the Qilin, a lot of pressure. However, compared to his young master, it was still a little weaker. This made him feel that a divine beast was nothing. ¡°Can I make a move¡­¡± Lin Mo wanted to say something, but the Qilin behind him spoke up in a cold voice. He was shocked. He turned around and saw that the Qilin¡¯s eyes were red and the auspicious aura on its body had disappeared. In its place was a hint of ruthlessness, the ferocity of a demonic beast. Even the auspicious beast White Qilin had this ferocity. It didn¡¯t usually show, but at this moment, it had exploded. ¡°Go, let the world know that the reputation of a divine beast is earned through fighting¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. Although the people from the Behemoth Clan were stronger, he was not afraid at all. Anyway, he had already offended many forces, so it didn¡¯t matter if he offended this one as well¡­ ¡°Wait, I¡¯m here to participate in the auction¡­¡± Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, Shentu Luo¡¯s expression changed. He had not expected the other party to be so decisive and really plan to make a move. ¡°If you can beat me, you can have whatever you want. If you lose, then get lost as far as you can.¡± Qilin immediately attacked at an extremely fast speed. With just a punch, she had sent Shentu Luo flying. The door to the auction house exploded. If the formation had not been activated at the critical moment, the entire palace would have collapsed. Qilin and Shentu Luo fought their way out until they gradually left Lin City. Looking at the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, some people felt that they would not be able to bid for it anyway, so they followed them out to watch the battle. ¡°There¡¯s been a small interlude. The auction will now continue¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He was not worried about the Qilin. This was the first time he had seen the little girl so angry. The title of divine beast was the glory of the Qilin race. Being insulted by others had aroused their ferocity. ¡°Will Qilin be fine?¡± Zhao Tianyu was a little worried because Qilin had been allowed to chase after the person alone¡­ ¡°She¡¯s a divine beast, the only Qilin in the world. Don¡¯t underestimate her¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively. In terms of combat power, even he might not be able to defeat Qilin. After all, there was a difference in their cultivation levels. Perhaps it was because he had seen the little girl¡¯s flaws and mistakenly thought that that was the Qilin¡¯s peak. ¡­ ¡°Brother Lin, quickly announce the results. I¡¯ve already given up on bidding.¡± Right at this moment, the Earth Dragon tribe and the Wind Dragon tribe walked forward. The appearance of the Behemoth Clan had worried them, so they knew they had to leave with the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree as soon as possible. Thus, they were not bidding anymore. The bid of three Heaven-grade Level 8 Divine Pills was the final price for the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. ¡°You¡¯ve joined hands?¡± The smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face disappeared. These two had joined forces because of the Behemoth Clan. Then wouldn¡¯t he earn much less? At least two Heaven-grade Level 8 Divine Pills less¡­ ¡°One Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Pill. This is the final price. I hope Brother Lin will agree to this.¡± The two of them had seen Lin Mo¡¯s displeased expression and raised the price once more. It was a Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Pill, but it was still inferior to the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. However, it was not bad. In fact, it was even more valuable to Lin Mo. ¡°Deal, we¡¯ll exchange the money and goods at the same time.¡± Lin Mo nodded. The auction was over. The Wind Dragon Clan member did not hesitate and took out a light blue compass. This compass was not a simple one. It was surrounded by intense spatial fluctuations. ¡°Oh.¡± He dripped a drop of blood essence onto it, and spatial patterns appeared on the compass. This was the Dao Law of Space, and they were extremely mysterious. ¡°It¡¯s a good treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. If this treasure had a grade, it would definitely be above a Level 8 Heaven-class. Not long after, a spatial tunnel appeared. At the other end of the tunnel, Lin Mo could vaguely see a young man. The other party was clad in light green armor, and his long black hair was loose and dancing in the wind. A pair of dragon wings spread out behind his back, flapping slightly as the wind whistled. He looked as if he was the master of that space, capable of controlling everything by just lifting his hand¡­ ¡°Feng Xuan¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. He was a very strong person. Whether it was him or Qilin, it would be a fierce battle if they were to face each other¡­ ¡°Buzz¡­¡± The space rippled again. Feng Xuan disappeared and a golden light flew toward him. In less than five minutes, the spatial tunnel collapsed, and the compass also exploded at this moment, losing its function. The moment the tunnel collapsed, the golden light flew out and was caught by Lin Mo. ¡°A Heaven-grade Level 9 Divine Pill¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. A divine pill of this grade was extremely extraordinary. It was a treasure that even a Supreme Saint would drool over¡­ Moreover, this divine pill could be turned into a large number of spiritual stones and a Quasi-Immortal grade Immortal Pill in his hands. Just the thought of it made him a little excited. He had to get that Quasi-Immortal Pill as soon as possible. ¡°Brother Lin, can you give us the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree now?¡± Seeing that Lin Mo had obtained the divine pill, the Earth Dragon plucked one Pseudo Dragon Fruit while the Wind Dragon kept the entire Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree, a Heaven Level 8 Divine Tree. ] [ Successfully triggered 50000 times auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Immortal Tree, Dragon Scale Fruit Tree. ] The system¡¯s rebate treasure appeared. In the system space, stood a ten-meter-tall immortal tree. The tree and its branches were covered with dragon scales, and its leaves were blood-red. The branches were full of fruits. There were probably more than a hundred of them, and they were all Dragon Scale Fruits¡­ [ The tree is at the Quasi-Immortal Level, but the fruit is not. This is a Dragon Scale Blood Fruit, which is about a Level 7 to Level 8 of the Heaven-realm¡­ ] Lin Mo was not disappointed. More than 100 Dragon Scale Blood Fruits would be enough for him to eat for a long time. All of a sudden, Lin Mo felt a violent energy fluctuation coming from outside of Lin City, which caused the entire city to shake¡­ Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the hall had not left, Lin Mo said, ¡°Everyone, I would like to purchase defensive formations. The higher the grade, the better.¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to sell it, I¡¯ll give you a satisfactory price.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Zhao Tianyu and said, ¡°The defensive formations that you purchase, remember them and sell them later.¡± Hearing this, Zhao Tianyu was a little confused. What did this mean? Why would he use a defensive formation for no reason? Who was he planning to defend against? ¡°Be careful of the Behemoth Clan. That little girl has caused quite a bit of trouble¡­¡± Chapter 702 - 702 The Raging Qilin 702 The Raging Qilin Lin Mo spread out his hands. His soul power had been locked onto the Qilin, so he knew what had just happened. In the battle outside of Lin City, Qilin had almost killed Shentu Luo. At the critical moment, the other three of the four demon generals of the Behemoth Clan came to help, and the four of them besieged the Qilin together. The four golden behemoths were all half-step Kings with terrifying battle-power. As for the Qilin¡¯s inborn deficiencies, only its life force and origin had been made up for. However, the Qilin¡¯s bloodline and spell techniques had not been completed. Unable to display their full combat strength, the battle came to a standstill. In the end, her ferocity exploded and she used the Chaos Bell. It was a Peak Level 9 Heaven-class Magic Weapn forged by the Kun Peng. Even though she had only casually cultivated it in his free time, its power was not to be underestimated. As soon as the Chaos Bell appeared, the four demon generals of the Behemoth Clan were defeated in an instant. The fierce nature of the Qilin was stimulated, and it exerted its full strength. This battle also made the world understand that the reputation of the divine beast Qilin was not to be challenged. With one strike, two of the four demon generals were killed and one was heavily injured. There was only one of them left who was not seriously injured. He fled in embarrassment with his injured companion. By the time Lin Mo arrived, all he saw were the corpses of two Behemoths. In addition, there was also a Qilin with scarlet eyes licking the blood on her hands. It did not look at all like there was an auspicious beast at the scene. This was a fierce beast, which would make anyone who saw it panic¡­ ¡°Hehe, Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± Seeing Lin Mo approach, the redness in the Qilin¡¯s eyes quickly receded. It shook off the blood on its hands and ran over with a laugh. ¡°Auspicious Beast White Qilin ¡­¡± Lin Mo felt a little helpless. Even if it was a divine beast, it was still a demonic beast. The beastly nature of a demonic beast still remained in its bones. Now, the enmity with the Behemoth Clan had been formed¡­ ¡°Hmph, it was Shentu Luo who first conspired against me.¡± The Qilin was indignant. The reason she had used the Chaos Bell to kill him was because she had been ambushed. Shentu Luo had long planned this. He had provoked her with his words to lure her out. Together with the other three demon generals, they had intended on harming her. In a fit of anger, she had used the Chaos Bell, resulting in this outcome¡­ ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯m here.¡± He reached out and stroked the girl¡¯s head, comforting her. Although the Behemoth Clan was stronger, he had not been afraid. Moreover, he had really wanted to see how strong the purple-gold behemoth was¡­ Even though it would be troublesome to leave the ancient battlefield if he offended the Behemoth Clan, he still had to deal with the situation. However, that was a matter for later. Right now, he had to think about how to find opportunities in the ancient battlefield. In a few days, Lin Mo obtained the defensive formation as he wished. After consuming a lot of divine materials, it was finally set up to protect Lin City and the Molin Chamber of Commerce. ¡°The Behemoth Clan will take revenge for the smallest grievance. I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to continue your business¡­¡± Back in the palace, Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue shook their heads while they were in their rooms. They felt that things had gotten a little difficult. This would be so unless Lin Mo could get help from the Bai family of the Southern Continent. However, that was not realistic. The Northern and Southern Continents were separated by the Central Continent. It was too far away¡­ Without that protection, it would be almost impossible for Lin Mo to establish a Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Continent. ¡°I¡¯ll think about it later.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. The most important thing right now was what to do next. ¡°A friend gave me a map. It¡¯s said to be the ruins of a large sect from ancient times, the Wind Spirit Sect. ¡°Many disciples of the great sects and schools have already gone there to look for opportunities.¡± ¡°The Wind Spirit Sect? I¡¯ve never heard of it. What kind of sect is it?¡± Mao Zhu and the others asked. ¡°It¡¯s very powerful. There are many Emperors-to-be in the sect. Their inheritances have never been leaked, so I don¡¯t know if they have any left. As for whether there is a Great Emperor¡¯s inheritance, I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Upon hearing this, everyone¡¯s interest was piqued. Qilin immediately stood up. She would never miss such a good place. ¡°There¡¯s another piece of news. Gongsun Wenhao has started his closed-door cultivation to break through to the King tier¡­¡± said Feng Tian as he walked in from outside. This was the latest news. Gongsun Wenhao had already stated that when he came out of seclusion, he would personally kill Lin Mo and Qilin ¡­ ¡°Tsk, he¡¯s a loser. If he dares to come, I¡¯ll kill him,¡± said Lin Mo indifferently. After some discussion, Zhao Tianyu was left behind to oversee the auction in Lin City. Lin Mo led the rest of the group to the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s ruins according to the marks on the map. The Bone Mountain Range was a piece of land made up of piles of corpses. Even after so many years, the corpses still remained. There were even traces of blood. This was one of the most dangerous places on the ancient battlefield. When it had opened up in the past, not many people came here. However, it was different this time. The Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s remains had been leaked, and many people had come to search for treasures and opportunities. Ancient trees that reached the sky grew densely, towering into the clouds, accompanied by the smell of blood. For countless years, a group of people would die every time it opened up. Their corpses piled up, and their blood and qi gathered to form the environment there. The air was filled with the smell of blood and decay¡­ ¡°It¡¯s so smelly. The environment here is terrible¡­¡± The Qilin kept complaining along the way. ¡°Just bear with it. Ever since the ancient ruins were exposed, there have been about fifty thousand people who have died here¡­¡± consoled Lin Mo. He didn¡¯t know how the location had been exposed. Anyway, more and more cultivators continued to come here. Hundreds of people died every day, and blood dyed the sky red¡­ However, the opportunities here exuded endless temptation, and countless living beings rushed over like moths to a flame. This action had also alarmed the primitive demonic beasts in the Bone Mountain Range. For some reason, the demonic beasts here had no intelligence and only knew how to kill. Any living creature that invaded their territory would be attacked. ¡°How strange. There are even demonic beasts with extremely high bloodlines here, but they can¡¯t transform and don¡¯t have any intelligence¡­¡± said the Qilin. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that it¡¯s a rule of the Hidden Dragon List. The ancient battlefield is a kind of inheritance, and the living beings inside will be restricted. ¡°There were many Emperor-to-be masters who tried to get a clear look at the Hidden Dragon List, but they all failed. In the end, they only got the news that the small world inside would not give birth to any living beings with intelligence¡­¡± said Feng Tian. His family had records of this. Lin Mo looked at the Qilin. The latter shook her head, indicating that she did not know either. ¡°Stop chit-chatting, we¡¯ve arrived. According to the map, this is the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s ruins.¡± Mao Zhu pointed to the front. That was all the information on the map. It was a purple bamboo forest marked on the map. By passing through it, they would be able to enter the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect. Of course, the number of cultivators who died here was also the highest. The seemingly plain purple bamboo forest always had a demonic aura that made one¡¯s heart palpitate. In the dark, people always had a feeling that they wanted to go deeper¡­ ¡°Be careful.¡± Lin Mo and Qilin took the lead and entered the space. The other three quickly followed, not daring to fall behind. After taking one step, Lin Mo instantly felt the world spinning around him. A wave of fatigue came from his soul, making him feel like he wanted to sleep. The scenery around him changed, and holy light shone all over him in an instant. He felt like he was about to ascend, and he wanted to merge into the holy light¡­ ¡°Was it an illusory formation? It¡¯s able to control the thoughts of the soul.¡± Only after a long time did Lin Mo open his eyes and mutter to himself. If it hadn¡¯t been for his strong soul spirit, he might have really lost himself in it¡­ Chapter 703 - 703 A Treasured Land Nurtured by Heaven and Earth 703 A Treasured Land Nurtured by Heaven and Earth However, to him, this obstacle was nothing. He would easily be able to pass through it. After Lin Mo passed through the bamboo forest, the Qilin also came out and shook its head. On the other hand, Mao Zhu and the other two seemed to be in a daze, and the look in their eyes was somewhat blurry. ¡°Are you all fine?¡± Lin Mo asked after waking the three of them, ¡°We¡¯re going to encounter real danger soon.¡± After passing through the purple bamboo forest, he could see some figures. These people were searching for treasures that might be buried underground. When they saw Lin Mo and the rest of his group enter, their eyes filled with a ferocious look. In the ruins, there were all sorts of traps and formations that were very dangerous, but the most fatal ones were the hidden arrows. The people who came in with you might catch you off guard. The Wind Spirit Sect ruins were huge. They were still on the outskirts, in a very primitive forest. It was unclear how many people had come here, but too many corpses could be seen along the way. ¡°Eh? Why are there icebergs in a forest full of wood elements¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. In front of him, the temperature began to drop very rapidly. He took a few steps forward, and snow actually began to fall from the sky. This was a strange phenomenon, but it was already becoming faint and was about to dissipate. Lin Mo waved his hand, blowing away the snow and revealing the actual mountain range. After the melting snow disappeared, the rivers flowed and the earth was full of greenery. It was as if all living things had been revived and spiritual energy had gathered. ¡°What a magical phenomenon. Within the surrounding ten thousand miles, all the heaven and earth spiritual qi is gathering here,¡± cheered the Qilin. There were no supreme treasures here, but this phenomenon was extraordinary. It was as if a treasure land had been born. Lin Mo¡¯s act of blowing away the wind and snow had coincidentally completed the final step of this treasured land. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± A buzzing sound could be heard. On the mountain peak, a huge tree grew. Its roots intertwined and coiled around the mountain. The tree was hundreds of feet tall, and its branches and leaves were emitting wisps of chaotic mist. The aura of Dao gradually disappeared. This tree had developed its own will and knew how to turn misfortune into fortune. This chaotic mist was able to cover its fluctuations and make this treasure land disappear without being discovered. Lin Mo was a little curious. This tree should be considered a treasure. After all, it had such power even though it had only just recovered. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Perhaps after a thousand years, this place will become a treasured land for cultivation. However, we can¡¯t touch it now.¡± The Qilin spoke up, as she could see things that ordinary people couldn¡¯t. This place was filled with auspicious signs, and this tree also had great luck. It should not be damaged by their hands. Doing it forcefully was equivalent to destroying the creation of a place, and it was easy to be contaminated with unnecessary karma. ¡°What a pity. I thought I had picked up a treasure this time,¡± sighed Lin Mo. He did not know who would benefit from this place in the future¡­ ¡°With me here, we¡¯ll definitely have an opportunity,¡± promised Qilin as she patted her chest. As an auspicious beast, she still had this bit of confidence. ¡°Boom¡­¡± A series of explosions rang out, and the surrounding space surged. The entire mountain range in front of them was enveloped. The chaotic mist spread and sealed the area. Lin Mo and the others quickly left. As soon as they stepped out, everyone was a little surprised because the mountain range in front of them had disappeared. The mountain peak was gone, and it had become a plain with only a little spiritual qi remaining. ¡°How shocking. This place is probably not any weaker than the Ten Thousand-year Cold Pond in Snow Valley,¡± sighed Song Lianxue. It was a pity that this treasured land had disappeared. He didn¡¯t know where it had gone. Perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have the chance to see it again in this life. ¡°Look, there are many spatial rifts ahead, and there are islands in the void,¡± said the Qilin as she pointed to the front as she had found some clues. Lin Mo sensed it as well, and black and white runes appeared in his eyes. Through the obstacles, he could see the island in the void clearly. It was not far away, but it was floating in the void, surrounded by a shocking killing formation. If he were to cross the void, he might trigger the formation and lose his life. Hearing Lin Mo¡¯s explanation, Mao Zhu and the other two were shocked that the existence of the killing formation could be seen from such a distance. ¡°Let¡¯s head over first. There might be a teleportation formation.¡± Lin Mo flew forward. With the naked eye, it looked like the spatial rift was very close. However, as he moved forward, he realized that the distance was far and that the spatial dimension laws were disrupting this place. The five of them flew for a full six hours before they finally arrived at the location of the spatial crack. As they neared, they could already see the islands inside. They were like small worlds floating in the void. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s a Divine Fruit Forest. It¡¯s full of fruits¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s also a great fortune over there. There¡¯s a lake filled with divine liquid, and there are spiritual creatures swimming in it, which is very rare.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. If he was able to cultivate here, he would definitely be able to reach the ninth heaven of the Almighty. This was too shocking¡­ In addition, there was also an island with many palaces on it. Although it was protected by a formation, it was already in ruins. There were also several cultivators who were trying to break the formation and obtain the fortune inside. In the distance, there was a Tree of Life. The fruit of the Quasi-Immortal Tree could make countless Quasi-Emperors green with envy. It had been millions of years since they had broken through to the Emperor-to-be realm, and some of them were starting to run out of life. If he could refine the source of the Tree of Life, he would be able to recover his vitality and return to his peak. ¡°How do I get in?¡± Lin Mo said. He couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He couldn¡¯t miss out on the lake that was filled with divine liquid and the Tree of Life. Taking it out would drive people crazy. ¡°Why don¡¯t we try entering the void first?¡± The Qilin suggested. She was coveting the divine fruit forest. If she could obtain it, it would more or less make up for the flaws in her bloodline. In this way, the complete spell technique of the Qilin clan would reappear in her blood, making her combat power even stronger. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The small group nodded in agreement and flew into the void. In the void, they approached an island and tried to get close. At the same time, they were prepared to escape. Once the killing formation was triggered, they would all die if they couldn¡¯t avoid it. However, what shocked Lin Mo was that as soon as they got close, an unknown force attacked them. Before they could react, they were swept up by this force and brought to the island ahead. ¡°Isn¡¯t that a killing formation?¡± Lin Mo frowned. His senses could not be wrong. That was definitely a killing formation, and it was being used for protection. But why had they been allowed in so easily? ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry about it. Hurry up and find the treasure.¡± The Qilin was very happy. Although this place couldn¡¯t be compared to what they had seen earlier, it was still a land of treasure. Cracks appeared in the sky from time to time, from which violent spatial energy gathered. It poured down, forming a terrifying spatial storm. He didn¡¯t know what this island was made of, but it contained laws that could suppress spatial storms and prevent them from spreading. However, after these spatial storms stopped, many spatial laws were left behind. If he went to comprehend it now, he would gain a lot. It was just a pity that none of the five people had cultivated any spatial laws. This lucky chance could only be given up. ¡°I wonder if I¡¯ll be able to enter the other islands¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed before leading the group forward. Along the way, they came across many precious spiritual springs. Other than that, there were also some rare beasts that had no cultivation, but their bodies contained an abundant amount of qi. Chapter 704 - 704 Little Lucky Star Qilin 704 Little Lucky Star Qilin ¡°We don¡¯t need to pick any spiritual herbs below Level 9 Earth class. They¡¯re not very useful¡­¡± said Lin Mo. They had encountered some spiritual mountains along the way, where many spiritual herbs had been growing. It was a pity that divine medicine was precious and couldn¡¯t grow here. One would need some luck to find it. ¡°Come quickly. There¡¯s a divine herb in front. I can smell it.¡± Walking on the road, the Qilin perked up and sniffed the rich medicinal fragrance in the air. This was the aura of divine medicine. They continued forward and passed through a dense forest until they came to a small pond in front of them. In the middle of the pond, there was a fiery red lotus with strange patterns on it. There was even a wisp of fire burning in the center of the flower. ¡°This is the Heaving Connecting God-Attracting Lotus that contains the Dao Law of Fire.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. This was a good item. To Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu, it would be a rare sacred object for cultivation. ¡°Stop.¡± Suddenly, there was some movement not far away, and more than a dozen creatures walked out. Some were humans, some were demonic beasts. They were in different forms, with sinister smiles on their faces. They held weapons in their hands, and the lowest realm among them was a Level 8 Almighty. With more than a dozen of them working together, they could be considered a relatively strong force on this Island. ¡°What do you mean?¡± The Qilin was displeased because there was also a person hiding in the pool. The person had quickly picked the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, causing her to pounce on nothing. A minotaur walked up and waved the battleaxe in his hand. With a sinister smile, he said, ¡°What do you think we¡¯re doing? This is a robbery! Hand over all the treasures you have! ¡°You guys didn¡¯t really think that you could find a Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus in the outermost area, do you?¡± Someone said with a mocking smile. They were a group of bandits who specially guarded the vicinity and were using the divine medicine as bait to attract people here so they could rob them. After understanding the situation, Lin Mo sighed. These fellows were really unlucky¡­ If they had used Earth-level spiritual herbs as bait, they would not have taken a detour. ¡°Hand over the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, as well as the divine medicine and half-divine medicine you have, and I will spare your lives,¡± said the Qilin slowly. ¡°Haha, how does a little girl like you dare to say that?¡± The dozen or so people on his side laughed and held their weapons, ready to attack. ¡°Let me see the strength of the two of you,¡± Lin Mo smiled and pulled Qilin away. At the same time, he told Feng Tian to back off and not attack. With half of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire and the Nine Phoenix Fire Technique, Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu¡¯s combat power should be very strong. It just so happened that these guys had bumped into the muzzle of his gun. He wanted to give these two people a chance to practice, and he also wanted to experience it. ¡°Boom¡­¡± The battle erupted, and the pool in front of them instantly evaporated as the flames burned everything. ¡°Ah¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± All sorts of sounds could be heard. In less than three minutes, Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue had finished their battle. There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, and not a single piece of skin on their bodies was left intact. All of them had been burned. Moreover, even this had only been because Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue had been merciful. Otherwise, there would not even be ashes left. ¡°A person on the Hidden Dragon List¡­¡± The minotaur was shocked and he stared at Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue in disbelief. Two masters on the Hidden Dragon List had terrifying combat power, yet they had all been crushed. Moreover, this was not the most terrifying thing. The two women who had defeated them seemed to be honored by the handsome young man¡­ ¡°Please spare¡­ Spare me¡­¡± A total of thirteen storage rings were given to Lin Mo, which contained many precious treasures. There were eight Level 9 Earth-class spiritual herbs, three rare ones, and no half divine herbs. These people had been lucky to have obtained a Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus and used it as bait¡­ ¡°You may share this lotus with Sister Song and Sister Mao Zhu.¡± The Qilin laughed. This time, she didn¡¯t try to snatch it, because she knew that this Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus with attributes was most suitable for those two who cultivated on the fire path. ¡°Indeed. Unfortunately, it¡¯s only a Level 1 Heaven-class¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. After the auctioning of the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, he would be able to get a better rebate which would be of greater help to Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue. Perhaps it would be able to help the two of them break through to the King realm. ¡°I¡¯ll keep it first, and we can distribute it later,¡± said Lin Mo. He wanted to find an opportunity to auction it off to a random group of people and perhaps even sell it at a discount. ¡°What should we do with these people?¡± Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue had no objections to his suggestion and pointed at the dozen people lying on the ground. ¡°Have mercy! You guys have robbed us all!¡± Some of the creatures screamed and begged for mercy. They even mentioned a few other places where people were also committing robberies¡­ Lin Mo was so angry that he laughed. They had not hesitated to sell others out at all¡­ ¡°By the way, you mentioned that this is the outer region. What did you mean?¡± He decided to find out some information. ¡°You must have only just arrived, right? Then you should go deeper without any further delay.¡± After some questioning, these people told him everything they knew because they were afraid of death. It turned out that anything that was close to the island would be absorbed by the formation. There were more than a dozen islands like this. This was the first island, which was also on the outskirts. Except for the beginning, when there were still people who could find divine medicine, there was basically nothing else. In the center of the island, there was a passage that led to the depths. The true treasure ground was also in the depths, with many great opportunities. If they went too late, they would lose everything. ¡°My Lord, you should go now. About half a month ago, Mu Yuzhu, a peerless master on the Hidden Dragon List, arrived. If you are late, you will really lose everything.¡± After saying that, these people urged Lin Mo and the others to leave quickly. ¡°Mu Yuzhu has already arrived¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. If that was the case, he really could not delay any further. The Divine Fruit Forest, the lake that was filled with divine liquid, and the Tree of Life were all one-in-a-million opportunities¡­ ¡°Girl, why are you digging the soil?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo looked at the place where the pond had been. The water had evaporated, leaving behind only scorched earth. While Lin Mo had been interrogating the people, the Qilin had dug around a thousand meters into the ground. ¡°Haha, my instinct was right. There really is a piece of treasure here.¡± The Qilin laughed as it flew out of the pit, holding a piece of silver-white ore in its hand. ¡°Quickly appraise this. What kind of treasure is this?¡± The Qilin tossed it over to Lin Mo, its face filled with anticipation. Lin Mo was momentarily stunned before storing it in the system space. [ Chaotic Spirit Stone, Heaven-class Level 9. In ancient times, the Wind Spirit Sect had a powerful master who had made a powerful immortal weapon. ] [ With the Chaotic Sky Stone as the main material, the energy-less fragments are cut off during the cultivating process. After countless years of accumulation, they are turned into Chaotic Spirit Stones. ] Lin Mo was a little surprised when he took out the ore. It was great to have an auspicious beast by his side. She was even capable of finding such a rare ore. This Chaotic Spirit Stone could be used to refine quasi-immortal artifacts. Moreover, if he were to auction it, he might be able to obtain a piece of Chaotic Sky Stone¡­ Although it would require a very high multiplier, if he suffered a serious loss, he might really be able to get a Chaotic Sky Stone¡­ ¡°What about it? What kind of treasure is this?¡± The Qilin was filled with hope as it waited for Lin Mo¡¯s appraisal results. ¡°This is a Chaotic Spirit Stone. It¡¯s derived from the immortal material, the Chaotic Sky Stone. It¡¯s currently at Heaven-class Level 9¡­ At this point, Lin Mo could not hide the joy in his heart. This little girl was truly a little lucky star¡­ Chapter 705 - 705 A Simple Auction 705 A Simple Auction ¡°A Chaotic Spirit Stone? How is this possible?¡± The ones who were the most shocked were the dozen or so people who were still groaning on the ground. They had been guarding this area for more than a month to commit their robberies, which meant that they had been with the treasure for more than a month¡­ It had already been a month yet they had not discovered it. All they knew was how to rob people along the road¡­ More importantly, now that they were being robbed instead, these four were feeling the most uncomfortable. ¡°Hehe, I felt it earlier. This place is filled with auspicious qi, and there are auspicious clouds covering the sun in the sky. ¡°A Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus couldn¡¯t possibly attract this auspicious qi, so I was sure that there was a treasure buried here.¡± After saying that, Qilin smiled triumphantly, her small face looking very proud of herself. ¡°You managed to see through the auspicious sign. You¡¯re the auspicious beast White Qilin¡­¡± All this time, the minotaur had been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. Suddenly, he stood up and looked at Lin Mo and the others in disbelief. There was only one Qilin in the world, and she came from the ancient battlefield. She was the daughter of the ancient divine beast Qilin. Everyone in the Northern Continent knew that he was now following the human God Devourer Lin Mo. At the thought of this, he looked at Lin Mo, and the shock on his face intensified. ¡°I¡¯ve kicked an iron plate, a very hard iron plate¡­¡± The group of people shook their heads bitterly. They had never expected that they would encounter these two people while robbing on the outskirts¡­ ¡°You¡¯re quite sensible. Seeing as I¡¯ve gained quite a lot, I¡¯ll spare your lives.¡± Qilin waved her hand to dismiss these people. She had always kept Lin Mo¡¯s teachings in mind. She would let anyone who was not a threat go as long as the other party did not cross the line. ¡°Many thanks, great aunt.¡± One after another, more than a dozen people got up. No longer pretending to be dead, all of them bowed with a sincere attitude. They stole a glance at Lin Mo and were overjoyed to find that the latter had no objections. All of them fled, not daring to stay any longer. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll continue going deeper. Since we¡¯re still in the outer region, there¡¯s no need to waste time.¡± Lin Mo led the group forward. He spread his Kun Peng Wings and flew at extreme speed. It took them around ten minutes to arrive at the center of the island. They soon found a path and went deeper into the island. As they went deeper, passing through three islands, the number of people they encountered gradually increased. The number of corpses piled on the ground had also increased. Some of the corpses even had traces of blood that had yet to dry. The smell of blood thickened. The Qilin frowned. It didn¡¯t like this environment. For the sake of treasures, countless living beings were willing to risk their lives, and even their companions would fight over uneven distribution. They didn¡¯t find any good treasures on the three islands. The best ones were the two divine medicines, which he had snatched from the group of bandits. When they arrived at the center of the fourth Island, they stopped. ¡°There are more than ten paths here, where should we go?¡± Lin Mo looked at the Qilin. The latter nodded and pointed out the leftmost path based on her intuition. ¡°Every path is accompanied by auspicious qi. ¡°This is the one where the smell of blood is the weakest. It¡¯s the only one I can feel.¡± If she wanted to know more details, she would have to activate the Eye of Destiny, which would be too much for her. ¡°Then let¡¯s take this one.¡± Without hesitation, Lin Mo led his people in, moving swiftly along the way. Not long after, they encountered a group of people who looked as if they had almost completely lost their minds in order to snatch the treasures. Any time they saw a living being, it would immediately attack to snatch the opportunity. Overwhelmed by their desire, they would probably go crazy and lose themselves in the killing. ¡°Just let them be. These people won¡¯t survive¡­¡± said Lin Mo. Unless these people were saved by divine medicine, they would eventually lose their way. This was caused by having killed too many people. One who only knew how to kill without restraint would be the most difficult to cultivate. This was also what he had taught Qilin. Otherwise, she, who was an enemy of the world, would have her hands stained with even more blood¡­ After dealing with a group of people, he obtained two half-divine herbs and one divine herb from them. However, they soon encountered another group, who had also gone almost completely crazy. All they knew was how to kill without caring about anything else. The final result was that they were killed by Lin Mo and lost their lives. This island was very large, and there were many treasures on it, but there were also many desperadoes. As they traveled, they fought and killed along the way, so it took them a full day to reach the depths of the island. They encountered three forked roads here, and the Qilin chose the one in the middle. Lin Mo and the others were attacked as soon as they set foot on the fifth Island. The attackers were all King realm warriors. There were seven of them, and some of them were even from the Hidden Dragon List. In order to increase the distance between them, these people chose to break through quickly and find the places where the top masters cultivated in seclusion, so that they could take the opportunity to kill them. They had gone through a tough battle, and Mao Zhu and the other two were injured. If Lin Mo and the Qilin had not taken action, they would have been in serious danger. ¡°Stop! There¡¯s a dangerous place ahead¡­¡± It was at this moment that Lin Mo suddenly frowned and asked everyone to stop. He realized that something ahead of them was wrong. The Qilin sensed something and looked ahead. Death energy was surrounding it, and there was no sign of any auspicious energy in the whole forest. This was a sign of danger. Those who entered would most likely die. ¡°That¡¯s not right. This path should have a chance¡­¡± The Qilin hurriedly said. This shouldn¡¯t have happened. ¡°Be careful.¡± All of a sudden, Lin Mo grabbed the Qilin, who was about to step forward to check and pulled her over. ¡°Aa-oo¡­¡± A shrill howl came from the forest, and a ghostly figure dashed out, charging at the Qilin. The ghostly figure was extremely fast, but there seemed to be some mysterious force in the forest that pulled it back. ¡°What was that?¡± Feng Tian was shocked and walked forward. The ghostly shadow was too fast, so he couldn¡¯t see what had happened. ¡°Someone¡¯s coming out.¡± Lin Mo said as he looked into the forest. A group of people scuttled out in a sorry state and left without even looking at Lin Mo and the others. ¡°You guys wait here for a moment, I¡¯ll go and ask.¡± After getting Qilin to protect the three of them, Lin Mo left the group and followed the group that had just left. It just so happened that he had a few treasures in his hands that he could take the opportunity to auction off¡­ ¡°Your Excellency, are you trying to take advantage of the situation?¡± In the dense forest, there was a young man with an ugly expression on his face. He called for everyone to stop and glared at Lin Mo, who was chasing after him, with an unfriendly expression. ¡°I don¡¯t have any ill intentions. I just have a few treasures that I would like to auction off¡­¡± said Lin Mo as he slowly flew over. ¡°God Devourer Lin Mo¡­¡± The young man was shocked when he saw Lin Mo¡¯s face. ¡°How about it? These treasures will be auctioned on the spot. Who among you is able to buy them?¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and took out three divine medicines. One of them was the fire attribute Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. The most valuable item that caught the young man¡¯s attention was the Chaotic Spirit Stone in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°This is the Heaven-class Level 1 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, and the auction begins,¡± said Lin Mo with a smile. ¡°Are you really going to sell it?¡± The young man said. He was already tempted. Although it was simple and crude, it was still an auction. The buyer and the seller were both willing parties, and the money and goods were settled. All the conditions of the rebate system were met. Various bids were made. After Lin Mo had successfully completed the trade with the other party, the system¡¯s voice rang out¡­ Chapter 706 - 706 Ghost Expelling Jade 706 Ghost Expelling Jade [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 1 Heaven-tier Divine Medicine, the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. ] [ Triggered 10000-fold auction rebate] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 5 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, and a Grade 5 Fir Element. ] This time, Lin Mo was very lucky. With a critical hit of 10000 times, he had obtained a Level 5 Heaven-class Divine Medicine. As long as they could find a suitable place to cultivate, they would be able to break through to the King tier. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The young man who had just bought the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus was at a loss upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words. ¡°Brother Lin, you¡¯re too kind. I¡¯ve taken advantage of you in this deal.¡± The young man did not know what Lin Mo was thinking. He didn¡¯t dare to hide anything and told them everything about the forest in front of them. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. The auction will be continuing. You may also bid for any other items that you like.¡± Lin Mo was not in a hurry. He took the next Divine Medicine with an extremely good attitude, even though these guys did not offer a high price. In fact, although they did not fight for it, they still bought it with divine pills, so Lin Mo did not lose out. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 1 Heaven-rank Divine Medicine, Remnant Snow Flower. [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 4 Heaven-rank Divine Medicine, Flowing Light Snowflakes. ] ¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 1 Heaven-rank Divine Medicine ] After selling the three divine medicines, Lin Mo obtained two Level 4 Heaven-class Divine Medicines and a Level 5 Heaven-class Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. This harvest could be said to be perfect. There was one last treasure left, and it was also the most precious one. It was the Chaotic Spirit Stone of Heaven-grade Level 9. ] ¡°Brother Lin, we¡¯re short of money. We really can¡¯t afford these primal Chaotic Spirit Stones¡­¡± The young man in the lead gave a wry smile. He could tell that Lin Mo was really going to sell it. He was probably going to exchange it for divine pills or divine medicine. However, they really didn¡¯t have any divine pills or divine medicines that were comparable to Level 9 Heaven-grade Divine Materials, and they had to be at least Level 7 Heaven-grade. It was not enough to pile it up with just quantity. It was far from enough. ¡°System, they can¡¯t afford the starting price, so should I insist on selling it without any rebate?¡± Lin Mo silently asked. [ If the conditions aren¡¯t met, I won¡¯t give a rebate to you. However, the other party¡¯s treasures can be used to purchase Chaotic Spirit Stones. ] Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. The other party did not seem to be lying. It seemed that he was unaware of the treasure he was carrying. ¡°You can¡¯t fool me¡­ The Qilin can see the auspicious qi emitting from your body, so it¡¯s obvious that you have a precious treasure on you. That¡¯s why I chased after you.¡± Lin Mo spread his hands and continued, ¡°Since you don¡¯t like Chaotic Spirit Stones, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± He turned around to leave. ¡°Brother Lin, please wait.¡± As expected, the young man quickly stopped Lin Mo when he turned around. Then, he took out a pile of ancient objects from the bag at his waist, which gave off a rotten smell. ¡°We found this inside, and we were just about to get someone to appraise it.¡± As he spoke, he passed the pile of old objects over and said, ¡°I heard that Brother Lin has a Chamber of Commerce that often holds auctions. [ You must be very good at appraising treasures. Can you help me appraise them?¡± At the same time, he and the few people behind him became more vigilant as they stared at Lin Mo with serious looks on their faces. ¡°Let¡¯s forget about the appraisal. You may use these to bid for the Chaotic Spirit Stone,¡± said Lin Mo as he shook his head. He wasn¡¯t stupid. If he actually determined the items to be a heaven-defying treasure, would he say it? This wasn¡¯t about morality, but about profit. Now, he left the decision to these people. It was up to them to decide what to do. ¡°This¡­¡± Upon hearing Lin Mo¡¯s words, the small group of people looked hesitant. This was a huge gamble. On one hand, they looked like trash, but they could also potentially be treasures. On the other hand, there were Supreme-grade Chaotic Spirit Stones to be gained. It would be a difficult choice for anyone to make, not to mention that they were not at the point where they could ignore the treasure¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s start bidding. There are enough primal Chaotic Spirit Stones for us to report back¡­¡± said a young girl. She felt that it would be better to bid for Lin Mo¡¯s Chaotic Spirit Stone. Moreover, they would even be able to win Lin Mo¡¯s favor by doing so. At the very least, based on the rumors about Lin Mo¡¯s character, he was trustworthy. He had opened a Chamber of Commerce with auctions as his main focus, so he still had to pay attention to his reputation. He definitely wouldn¡¯t do something like snatching the auction item after selling it. The group of people discussed among themselves for a while. In the end, the young man in the lead nodded and agreed to use the pile of unknown ancient objects as a bid. ¡°Deal, the auction is over.¡± The simple auction ended, and all four items were sold. The system¡¯s voice rang in Lin Mo¡¯s mind as he handed over the Chaotic Spirit Stones to the young man. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Heaven-grade Level 9 Divine Material, Chaotic Spirit Stone. ] [ Successfully triggered 6000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Material, Chaotic Origin Stone. ] He had obtained a piece of immortal material, but he could keep it. In the future, he could use it to cultivate the War Demon Spear and add immortal material. ¡°Right, I¡¯d like to ask you guys what¡¯s in that forest.¡± Lin Mo was asking the others for advice. As they were going deeper in, it would be better to know some of the dangers ahead of time. ¡°Brother Lin, if it¡¯s not necessary, it¡¯s better not to go in¡­¡± When the young man had a brief moment of recall, his face turned pale. He admitted that they were the subordinates of Tang Ru, the seventh princess of the Holy Blood Dragon Clan and the third most powerful warrior on the Hidden Dragon List. The one who had led them in was a powerful being who was ranked twenty-first on the Hidden Dragon List. That person¡¯s combat power had been very strong. When Tang Ru fought with him, it had taken a long time before she finally subdued him. However, such an existence had died on the inside, killed by the countless ghostly shadows. ¡°Ghostly shadow? What kind of creature is that?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Those are no longer living beings. They¡¯re evil ghosts, without life force or soul fluctuation. They¡¯re capable of devouring everything¡­¡± The more the young man thought about it, the more terrified he became. He shook his head. More than thirty people had been in their group, yet they had suffered heavy casualties. Their leader had already died inside. That place was a dangerous place, and they really couldn¡¯t go in anymore. ¡°Thank you for the information. Take care.¡± Lin Mo clasped his fists together. It was impossible to give up. There were opportunities inside. Since he was already here, he could not miss out on it. Moreover, at least a few of them had been able to escape. He didn¡¯t believe that with him and Qilin here, the number of their group would reduce¡­ After returning to his group, Lin Mo called for Qilin and the rest to set off. He wanted to see what kind of danger was hidden in this forest. At the same time, he also checked the batch of ancient objects he had just received in the system space. [ These are the remains of a magical artifact that have already decayed with the passage of time¡­ ] [ Broken bones. Was a Saint while alive, but has now decayed¡­ ] The system introduced a bunch of useless, rotten items, which were destroyed by Lin Mo. He furrowed his brows. Could it be that those people had been hiding the real treasure and had not taken out the real treasure¡­ ¡®If that¡¯s the case, things are going to be interesting¡­¡¯ Fortunately, when the last few items were being inspected, Lin Mo finally received some good news. The rest were all useless and had no value. Only a piece of black jade was identified. [ Ghost Expelling Jade. There are special talismans engraved on it. When activated, it¡¯s able to expel evil spirits. At the same time, it is also the key to breaking a certain protective formation. ] Chapter 707 - 707 The Way to Break the Formation 707 The Way to Break the Formation ¡°The key, is it the formation inside?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised. This was an unexpected gain. If they found the treasure ground because of this key, they would gain a huge profit. Furthermore, according to the activation method given by the system, the talisman within the Ghost Expelling Jade was activated. When they entered the forest, they did not encounter any obstacles. Countless ghostly figures appeared in the surroundings, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, wanting to charge at him. However, they were all repelled by the gentle light emitted by the Ghost Expelling Jade and were unable to get close. ¡°That¡¯s amazing. Brother Lin Mo, are you some kind of treasure cornucopia? You have all kinds of treasures¡­¡± said the Qilin happily. Some of these ghostly figures were difficult to deal with, even for her. Now, Lin Mo was able to deal with them with just a piece of jade. It was too convenient. ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence.¡± Lin Mo chuckled as the small group went deeper into the forest until they gradually reached the end. They were faced with chaos, as if they had finally reached the end. ¡°There¡¯s nothing here¡­¡± said the Qilin as she looked around, but found nothing. ¡°Eh, something¡¯s not right. There¡¯s someone in front.¡± The small group walked forward and finally came upon a man leaning against a tree at the edge of the chaos. The area between his eyebrows had turned black, and his soul aura was almost non-existent. This was why Lin Mo and the others had not noticed him at first. ¡°Hurry¡­ Run!¡± As if he had sensed someone approaching, the man turned his head with difficulty. His mouth opened and closed, and he had spat out these two words with difficulty. ¡°Aowu!¡± At this moment, there were ghost howls coming from the distance. The sounds were shrill, causing countless of ghost shadows to rush over. The ghostly howls sounded like a soul attack. The man leaning against the tree paled, and his soul fluctuations became weaker and weaker. In fact, even without this attack, he would have been beyond saving, unless he had an immortal medicine. ¡°You¡¯re Tang Ru¡¯s subordinate?¡± Lin Mo spoke as he recalled the conversation he had with the young man. ¡°Alliance¡­ I¡¯m just helping her reach the top after I was defeated,¡± said the man, with the last bit of his dying breath. His life aura and soul fluctuations then stopped. ¡°He¡¯s dead¡­¡± The Qilin shook his head. The man¡¯s injuries were too severe, and there was no way to treat them. ¡°He¡¯s the eldest disciple of the God of War Sect, Lan Hong. He¡¯s a one-in-a-million master in the God of War Sect¡­¡± said Feng Tian. He shook his head as he finally recognized the man. This place was too dangerous. Even Lan Hong was now dead. This man had been even stronger than Fourth Dark General Meng, who had come to the Chamber of Commerce to scheme against Qilin. ¡°The Ghost Expelling Jade seems to be losing its effect¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed. After such a long time, the light of the Ghost Expelling Jade was getting weaker and weaker, and looked like it was about to be extinguished. ¡°Prepare for battle.¡± ¡°Feng Tian, the three of you, stand beside me,¡± said Lin Mo as he held the War Demon Spear in his hand. At the same time, a wisp of black mist appeared around them. Lin Mo couldn¡¯t feel the energy contained in the black mist, but he knew that it wasn¡¯t a simple one. If he wasn¡¯t careful, he might die. The black mist gradually took the shape of a human and surrounded them. Its entire body was pitch-black, and its face could not be seen, except for a pair of scarlet eyes which were the most conspicuous and terrifying. ¡°Clang!¡± Feng Tian was the first to be attacked. The halberd in his hand slashed down, directly splitting the ghostly figure into two. ¡°But that¡¯s all.¡± Killing the enemy with one strike, Feng Tian smiled. It seemed that these ghostly figures were not very strong. However, if they worked together, they would run amok. However, he soon stopped laughing. The ghostly figure he had just killed turned into black mist. In just a few breaths¡¯ time, the black mist regrouped and turned into a ghostly figure again. Moreover, unlike before, the phantom seemed to have evolved, and a layer of pitch-black armor appeared on its body. Its defense power increased greatly, and it roared as it continued to charge at Feng Tian. The light of the Ghost Expelling Jade had already dimmed, and it could not stop the ghostly shadow at all. Feng Tian was forced to make a move. The halberd in his hand slashed out once more with even greater force, killing the ghostly shadow once more. At the same time, Feng Tian didn¡¯t stop. He continued to attack, almost cutting the ghostly shadow into pieces. However, the same thing happened. After several breaths, the ghostly figure reappeared again. The armor on its body had special patterns and was even harder. This time, its attack power had also become stronger, and it didn¡¯t bother to defend itself at all, trading injury for injury with Feng Tian. Feng Tian used his martial arts and once again shattered it, but he could not do anything to the black mist¡­ ¡°Let me do it.¡± Nirvana Phoenix Fire! Mao Zhu went to help and threw out a flame. The Nirvana Phoenix Fire was one of the top flames in the world. The moment the black mist touched it, it was immediately burned to ashes by the flames. ¡°Ji Ji¡­¡± The shrill screams echoed through the forest as the countless ghosts glared at Mao Zhu with their scarlet eyes. In the next moment, they attacked at the same time, and their target was none other than Mao Zhu. ¡°They¡¯re afraid of fire, so you should use the Phoenix Fire.¡± After some observation, Lin Mo had discovered some clues and asked Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu to attack. As the two of them worked together, flames filled the sky. The nearby forest was set on fire, and the black mist evaporated as screams could be heard. They were like vengeful souls that had been burned to death by the flames. ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m going to hell¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. This was too strange. What exactly were these ghostly figures? They were so difficult to kill and they continued to keep coming back. Moreover, it had a strong adaptability and could evolve according to its attacks¡­ ¡°A big fellow is coming¡­¡± reminded the Qilin. In the black mist in the distance, a big guy was being conceived. A ghostly figure that was ten meters tall materialized and absorbed the black mist. With a stomp of its foot, the earth trembled and the mountains shook. What was even more shocking was that there was a layer of black ice armor on his body. It was also surrounded by black gas, which could resist the attack of Phoenix Fire. ¡°How could this be?¡± Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue were both shocked. What kind of monsters were they? The battle had only just begun, yet the other party was already able to resist the Phoenix Fire. If they were able to fight for a long time, wouldn¡¯t that mean they were invincible? ¡°That¡¯s not right. That armor can¡¯t withstand the Phoenix Fire, but its strength is able to resist and suppress it¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Mo said. He then attacked together with the Qilin. The War Demon Spear and Chaos Bell were used, and the terrifying power destroyed everything in an instant. The black mist was strange and could avoid a lot of damage. However, as long as one had enough power, it could not be easily avoided. All the ghostly figures were destroyed, and even the surrounding black mist dissipated. The chaotic region in front of him was also affected. Lin Mo then saw that there were formation patterns inside. This was a powerful formation. ¡°We¡­ We seem to have walked into a terrifying formation¡­¡± If that was the case, it was understandable why the black mist was so strange. With the support of the formation, the corresponding ability would be evolved. It was hard to imagine what kind of formation they were facing to be able to do this. ¡°But, none of us are proficient in formations¡­¡± The Qilin pointed out the key issue. None of the five people present cultivated formations. So even though they had occasionally touched on it, it was essentially useless. ¡°Help me delay for a while. I¡¯ll go in and take a look¡­¡± Lin Mo was deep in thought. The Ghost Expelling Jade in his hand seemed to be able to dispel the formation. But the system didn¡¯t mention how he could unlock it, and he didn¡¯t know how to¡­ The only thing he could do now was to try to find the formation core. That way, he would still have a chance. If he really couldn¡¯t do it, the only thing he could do was to take everyone and leave. ¡°But¡­¡± The Qilin wanted to speak, but Lin Mo did not give it the chance to. Chapter 708 - 708 Holy Land for Cultivation 708 Holy Land for Cultivation The Kun Peng spread its wings and brought him into the chaotic region. ¡°That¡¯s strange. The power of yin and yang and the five elements¡­¡± Lin Mo raised his head and looked around. His surroundings were chaotic and he could not see his direction clearly so he did not know where he was. He had only walked for a few minutes before he got lost. He couldn¡¯t find his way inside, and there was nothing around him. He could clearly feel the power, but he couldn¡¯t see or touch it. ¡°Can you be of any use?¡± He held the Ghost Expelling Jade in his hand while constantly being on guard against his surroundings. At the same time, he walked aimlessly through the chaos. The concept of time gradually faded, and Lin Mo did not know how long he had been walking inside. His intuition told him that if he continued walking, he would definitely find the eye of the formation. However, as if in a trance, he felt as if a hundred years had passed in an instant. Time had flown by, and he did not know how long he had been in this area¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve been rash¡­ I feel like a long time has passed.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. If it did not work out in the end, he would only be able to use the power of the Yin Yang Fruit to rush out¡­ However, this would cause serious damage to his body. There might even be side effects that would require a large number of heavenly treasures for him to recover¡­ As he floated in the chaos, he lost track of time. Lin Mo was in a daze as he felt that another few decades had passed. Just as he fell into despair and was about to use the Yin Yang Fruit to break the formation, an unforeseen event occurred. The Ghost Expelling Jade in his hand began to emit light. The spiritual qi was abundant, and it actually illuminated the surroundings. The chaos disappeared, and formation runes appeared in the surroundings. A force emerged from the Ghost Expelling Jade and led Lin Mo through the chaos. After an unknown period of time, an intense light shone, and Lin Mo felt a sharp pain in his eyes. After barely adapting to it, he realized that the chaotic mist had disappeared, and the scenery had changed greatly. The gloomy feeling had disappeared along with it. A cry of alarm came from behind. It was Qilin and the others. They were more or less injured. The strongest of them all, the Qilin, was also injured. One of her arms was covered in blood. The Qilin¡¯s scales had transformed into armor that covered her entire body. However, there was a terrifying claw mark on his lower abdomen. It was hard to imagine that the Qilin armor¡¯s powerful defense could be broken. ¡°Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± The Qilin cried out in surprise. When she saw Lin Mo again, a smile appeared on her pretty face. ¡°Lin Mo, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mao Zhu and the others also hurried over. As they looked at Lin Mo, they felt that the latter usually had a happy look but now looked as if he had gone through a lot¡­ ¡°It¡¯s good¡­ to see you all¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s throat felt dry as he spoke. He had lost track of time in the chaos and had almost lost his way. Fortunately, just as he was about to use the Yin Yang fruit, the Ghost Expelling Jade had finally taken effect. ¡°What do you mean? Why do I feel that you¡¯ve been separated from us for more than ten years¡­¡± asked Song Lianxue confusedly. After her question, Lin Mo came to a sudden realization. He had only been in the chaotic region for less than an hour. Every second had felt like a year to him, so he felt as if he had experienced countless years. Qilin and the other three had not been having a good time outside either. Those ghostly figures seemed to have gone crazy and they weren¡¯t afraid of death. Ever since Lin Mo had entered the space, he had been attacked without stopping. The ghostly figures had only disappeared when the chaotic mist disappeared. No one knew where they had gone. ¡°The formation is broken, right?¡± Qilin walked over and asked. After the ghostly shadows had retreated, she had consumed a few spiritual herbs to recover from her injuries and walked over. ¡°It¡¯s broken. There¡¯s a treasure land ahead but it might not be safe¡­¡± Lin Mo pointed ahead. At the end of his vision, there was peace, auspicious clouds, and auspicious mist. Countless spiritual qi shot up into the sky, containing the power of creation. It was very divine. It was a cultivation paradise. Auspicious clouds covered the sun, holy light shone down, and multicolored light overflowed from the small stream. It seemed to be like paradise on earth. ¡°It¡¯s the treasure land that we saw before. There¡¯s a lake in the center, and it¡¯s a sacred place for cultivation.¡± ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± Mao Zhu said excitedly. She would not have been able to come across such a treasure land normally. In the Xue state where she was from, the Snow Valley was the most ancient power. Although it was not the strongest at the moment, no one dared to provoke it. Also, the most stunning cultivation sacred land in the Xue state was the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pond. That was the foundation of the Snow Valley, and it had once attracted the covetous eyes of countless forces, wanting to snatch it away. But now, in front of them was another kind of sacred land for cultivation, which was not inferior to the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pond in Snow Valley. If they could cultivate in seclusion here, both she and Song Lianxue would definitely be able to break through to the King tier very quickly. ¡°That¡¯s great. We¡¯ve really found this place. Our strength will be greatly improved¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice was trembling with excitement. It wasn¡¯t just him. Everyone was very excited. There was a treasure land like this in the outside world, but they had no chance to cultivate there. ¡°Let¡¯s stay here for a period of time and go through our cultivation process properly¡­¡± The sacred aura from the sacred land for cultivation was getting stronger and stronger, and it began to touch their hearts. At the same time, Lin Mo also felt that the elemental power around him had increased. There was also a bit of yin and yang power, but it was very weak¡­ ¡°It¡¯s confirmed that there¡¯s no danger. It¡¯s an auspicious sign from the heavens. This place is sacred and inviolable. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a gift from the heavens or man-made.¡± When they went in, the Qilin had been able to tell that all the dangers had come from the formation. Now that the formation had been broken, there was no longer any obstacle. ¡°This feeling is a wonderful feeling. We¡¯re going to go into seclusion and try to break through to the King tier¡­¡± Mao Zhu did not hold back. She asked Lin Mo for the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, as it was very important for her and Song Lianxue¡¯s cultivation. ¡°It¡¯s not just about trying. It¡¯s about actually breaking through.¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out the Level 5 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. The fiery-red lotus leaf bloomed with a divine light, and the gentle flame danced in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. It was a magical sight. ¡°Level 5 Heaven-class¡­¡± Everyone was shocked as they looked at Lin Mo. How did he manage to get such a precious treasure¡­ What a rich collection this was. It was unbelievable¡­ ¡°I used that Level 1 plant to scout for information. I exchanged it for the Ghost Expelling Jade,¡± Lin Mo casually explained. No one questioned it any further. They set up a formation on the sacred land and began to cultivate. Lin Mo also took out his whole collection, including all kinds of divine herbs, divine trees, and divine fruits. They piled them all up into a small mound, which astounded everyone at the sight of it. He distributed them one by one, and Feng Tian also got a few divine fruits. Lin Mo even lent him the Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree for cultivation. By relying on this divine tree to cultivate, one could achieve the effect of a minor nirvana, cleansing one¡¯s marrow and bones, which was wonderful. ¡°I¡¯m also getting a share¡­¡± Feng Tian was stunned. He had not expected Lin Mo to be willing to give him any resources. Although he had also contributed along the way and was as friendly as Lin Mo, he knew in his heart that he was still a servant after having been defeated¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve told you before, we¡¯re fellow Daoists. Go ahead and cultivate.¡± Chuckling, Lin Mo turned around and realized that the Qilin had fallen asleep at some point and was now lying somewhere in the lake. Purple light enveloped her and she had turned into a Qilin egg again. She needed to heal her injuries, make up for the deficiency in her bloodline, and obtain the complete Qilin spell technique¡­ Seeing this, Lin Mo also sank to the bottom of the lake and began to cultivate. ¡°Eh, what is this?¡± As soon as he reached the bottom, Lin Mo noticed a fiery red flag in the center of the lake. Lin Mo had no choice but to use the system space to identify it. [ Fire Spirit Flag, a quasi-immortal artifact. It was created by a great emperor. It can disrupt yin and yang and set the five elements. ] Chapter 709 - 709 Emperor 709 Emperor-Level Small World ¡°It was made by a great emperor master. Its origin is very great¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. However, he soon realized that something was wrong because the Fire Spirit Flag did not have any energy. After being in the system space for a while, its luster had dimmed and was about to turn into an ordinary item. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Mo was shocked and quickly checked the follow-up of the appraisal result. [ The Fire Spirit Flag was broken down by an extremely powerful force. The weapon spirit dissipated, and the energy in the entire body dissipated, forming a sacred place for cultivation. ] [ The formation is cracked and this flag no longer has any combat power. However, the controller can bring it into a small world. ] [ Only a small world created by an absolute Saint can contain it. Otherwise, the world will be destroyed. ] Lin Mo was shocked as he listened to the introductions. At the same time, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked, ¡°System, what level of Small World is this space of yours?¡± The current system space could easily contain even a world treasure, so it was definitely not at a low level. [ The system space has been upgraded to the highest level, becoming an Emperor-level World Space. ] Upon hearing this, Lin Mo understood and exited the system space with the Fire Spirit Flag. As soon as it appeared, a large amount of spiritual qi flew over and poured into the Fire Spirit Flag, causing it to glow. ¡°I just have to enter the Fire Spirit Flag with my will and engrave my own brand¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as a wisp of his soul tried to enter the Fire Spirit Flag. The process was surprisingly smooth. He cultivated the Fire Spirit Flag without any obstacle. Now, he only needed to think about it and he could put this cultivation sanctuary into the system space. ¡°For safety¡¯s sake, let¡¯s go inside and cultivate.¡± Lin Mo smiled. With just a thought, the Fire Spirit Flag bloomed with light, and spatial fluctuations covered a radius of a hundred miles. This surprised Lin Mo as he had not expected the area to be so large. The system¡¯s space took it in without any obstruction and did not alert the other people who were in the middle of the cultivation process. After he was done, he disappeared and entered the system space. There was only a space node left in the original place. It was a space node left by an Emperor-to-be, which was hard to detect. ¡°In this case, I seem to have another hiding place¡­¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. He had obtained another life-saving technique that could be used at the last moment. Furthermore, this space could also allow people to smuggle themselves in. This way, when they left the ancient battlefield, it would also reduce the burden on the Qilin. ¡°It¡¯s time to go into closed-door cultivation.¡± The people around him were all cultivating in seclusion to break through to the King tier, but his own cultivation level was still too low. Sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the lake, Lin Mo gradually forgot himself. He activated the Soul-Devouring Art and began to absorb the spiritual qi from all directions. At that moment, Lin Mo was surrounded by a huge pile of treasures. There were all kinds of divine materials, magic weapons, divine pills, and divine medicine. This was all of his collection. There were also countless spiritual stones piled up behind him, forming small mountains. Multicolored light shone as Lin Mo swallowed everything. A black hole formed in his qi center, and the suction force increased dramatically. At the same time, in another part of the system space, a dark green fruit flew out. It seemed to have a spirit and found the Qilin egg. The two gradually merged, and in an instant, auspicious clouds appeared. Snow-white qilins appeared on the horizon, condensed by the white clouds. Holy and flawless, auspicious beasts galloped, and heaven and earth were filled with auspicious signs. In the past, the Fruit of Fate had been kept in the system space by Lin Mo and was unable to leave, so it had not been able to find the Qilin. The Qilin was also in seclusion in this space, intertwining with the Fruit of Fate. At this time, the Qilin had already fallen into a deep sleep and had no idea what had happened to her body. All she felt was as if she had become the protagonist of heaven and earth, using the Fruit of Fate to baptize her body and bring great luck. On the other side, Lin Mo was in a similar situation. He felt as if he was at the boundary of yin and yang. The sun in his left hand and the moon in his right hand combined and seemed to turn into chaos. He didn¡¯t know when the Yin Yang Fruit had appeared in his qi center, but it was being absorbed by the God Devouring Body. Wisps of runes appeared as the Soul-Devouring Art was further refined at an extremely fast speed. It spurred Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness to start learning the new Soul-Devouring Art. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s control of the God Devouring Body had reached its peak. He could activate it with a single thought without the help of the Soul-Devouring Art¡­ ¡°Is it really possible to refine the Yin Yang Fruit in this realm¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He wanted to stop it and not touch it too early because he remembered the trouble that the Yin Yang Fruit had caused him. That kind of strange battle was very difficult to deal with, and it could easily take people¡¯s lives. ¡°I can¡¯t move¡­¡± As the Dao fire spread, the Dao Law of Yin Yang appeared and fused into Lin Mo¡¯s body. In a daze, Lin Mo felt as if he was in another space. The surrounding lake water was gone, and the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth had also disappeared. In this unfamiliar space, he walked on a bluestone path and looked around. There was nothing but flames. ¡°Where is this place?¡± Lin Mo opened his mouth to ask this question, but no one responded. He tried to communicate with the system space, wanting to go back, but he found that he was already in it. ¡°Is it just an illusion?¡± He was puzzled, but he could not solve it. He could only helplessly walk on the bluestone road as he was burned by the Dao fire. Slowly, Lin Mo realized that something was wrong with him. This place seemed to be in his sea of consciousness, and he might have fainted. He wanted to wake up, but he found that he was powerless. The flames in his sea of consciousness spread as if they were going to burn through the heavens and earth. There were endless flames in the sky and the laws of the Dao appeared. Divine Chains of Order descended one after another, each containing supreme power. At that moment, Lin Mo¡¯s soul power grew stronger and stronger. He felt extremely abundant and his eyes became clear. He had obtained great benefits. ¡°Was this from the Yin Yang Fruit?¡± He had no choice but to accept the fact that he had cultivated the Yin Yang Fruit. Although it was a world treasure, it would not help him directly increase his realm. That was the way of an inferior Dao. The true use of the Yin Yang Fruit was to let him understand the Dao of yin and yang. He used the Dao fire to help him cultivate and comprehend the Dao. At the same time, the remaining power was also helping him control the God Devouring Body and perfect the Soul-Devouring Art, making it a true immortal-grade cultivation technique. Time passed. Lin Mo did not know how long he had been in seclusion, but he was still unconscious. He could sense that Mao Zhu, Feng Tian, and the others had already come out of seclusion, but since they could not leave, they could only wait. While the Dao fire was burning, Lin Mo had fallen into a deep sleep many times, so it was a long time since he had woken up. Moreover, he did not feel at ease because he wasn¡¯t able to send Feng Tian and the others away. So now, he could only stay in seclusion and wait for the baptism process of the Yin Yang Fruit to end. He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed or how much his realm had improved, but his soul power had improved to a very high level. Furthermore, as the flames burned, he completely comprehended the spell techniques of the Kun Peng and obtained a few more powerful martial arts. He even mastered some of the martial arts techniques that he had not been able to use due to his insufficient realm. It could even be said that he was the Kun Peng at this moment and could reproduce the Supreme glory of the ancient divine beast Kun Peng. The Dao fire gradually disappeared. Lin Mo felt that the Yin Yang Dao Law was very friendly to him and he could control it just by raising his hand. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else I can improve at this level. It¡¯s time to end my closed-door cultivation,¡± muttered Lin Mo to himself and raised his head. Chapter 710 - 710 Fire Spirit Lake 710 Fire Spirit Lake As soon as he finished speaking, he woke up in a flash and found that the surrounding environment had changed greatly. The original sacred land of cultivation was now in ruins. The lake had dried up, the spiritual trees had rotted, and the spiritual herbs had withered. It was as if many, many years had passed. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ How long have I been in a closed-door cultivation?¡± Lin Mo mumbled as he looked at his surroundings. The Yin Yang Fruit was a world treasure. Could it be that tens of thousands of years had passed in the outside world¡­ He sent his soul out and found Mao Zhu and the others. They had scattered in all directions, trying to find a way out of the system space. However, how could the exit of an Emperor-level Small World be found so easily? Lin Mo teleported the three of them to his side. As for the Qilin, she had turned into an egg, and the Fruit of Fate had disappeared without a trace. Lin Mo didn¡¯t need to think much to know what had happened. The Fruit of Fate was helping her make up for her innate deficiencies, but it would take a long time. ¡°Lin Mo, you¡¯ve finally woken up. Something has happened.¡± When the other three saw Lin Mo, their faces lit up. The three of them spoke one after another, explaining the situation they were in. They had come out of seclusion a month ago, and their strength had skyrocketed after reaching the King tier. However, they had discovered that they were trapped and couldn¡¯t find a way out. ¡°We¡¯ve actually been cultivating for a year?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had never expected that his closed-door cultivation would last for so long. In a year¡¯s time, what realm would those people in the outside world break through to¡­ However, what made him feel at ease was that his realm was now at the peak of Level 8 of the Almighty, only one step away from Level 9. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. The gap between their cultivation levels won¡¯t be too big,¡± said Feng Tian. The more talented one was, the more they would pay attention to their foundation. The king realm was a huge dividing line. No one could easily break through this realm and a solid foundation had to be laid first. Otherwise, when you reach the Saint realm in the future, your unstable foundation will cause you to die under the heavenly lightning of the Saint realm. He might not even be able to advance to the quasi-Saint stage in his entire life¡­ ¡°The strongest should still be Xiao Yun, but he¡¯s only at the second heavenly layer of the King tier,¡± assured Mao Zhu. As for those who were not concerned about their foundation, even if they were ninth heavenly layer Kings, they might not be able to defeat Xiao Yun, who had just entered the King realm. ¡°That¡¯s right. This is my Small World. I¡¯ve kept the Holy Land of Cultivation in it¡­ Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with regret for letting the three of them wander around randomly for a month. ¡°You have a Small World?¡± The other three were shocked. It could accommodate the cultivation of living creatures, and the spiritual qi would not be exhausted. This could only be opened at the very least by a Supreme Saint. They were surprised that Lin Mo, a wandering cultivator, could actually possess it. ¡°It¡¯s fine, but you¡¯d better take a look at this cultivation paradise.¡± The three of them nodded indifferently. The most important thing now was still this treasured land. It couldn¡¯t be destroyed just like that. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve absorbed too much spiritual qi within a short period of time, so I¡¯m exhausted¡­¡± Lin Mo raised a hand to his head. The Yin Yang Fruit and the Fruit of Fate had been absorbed at the same time, so a lot of energy must have been consumed. In addition, he had the God Devouring Body, so he was capable of absorbing even more World Energy. Fortunately, he had woken up in time. Otherwise, this precious cultivation land developed by the Fire Spirit Flag would have been destroyed. ¡°I¡¯m just going to let it be outside for a while.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and took out the Fire Spirit Flag. He then led everyone away from this place. As for the Qilin, he left her in the system space where it was the safest place to cultivate. ¡°Boom boom boom¡­¡± As soon as the flag appeared, a large piece of dry land fell and returned to its original place. In an instant, countless energies in the world gathered and began to surge toward Lin Mo¡¯s hand. ¡°Our heavenly tribulation is coming¡­¡± ¡°Heavenly tribulation?¡± Mao Zhu and the other two had serious expressions on their faces. They had broken through to the King tier in the Small World, but the heavenly tribulation had not appeared. Now that they had appeared in a complete world, the laws of heaven and earth had sensed their breakthrough and were about to send down thunder and punishment. ¡°Stay away and be careful,¡± reminded Lin Mo, as he no longer had any treasures on him. The Silver Phoenix Fruit Tree, the Spirit King Fruit Tree, and the saplings had all dried up, and their leaves had rotted. Only by planting it in this treasured land could it recover its vitality. ¡°Speaking of which, this place doesn¡¯t seem to have a name yet¡­¡± Lin Mo thought for a moment. The system¡¯s introduction did not have a name for it either. After all, it had been formed later. ¡°Since it evolved from the Fire Spirit Flag, so let¡¯s call it the Fire Spirit Lake.¡± After thinking of a name, the smile on Lin Mo¡¯s face did not last long because he suddenly turned around, his face filled with shock¡­ ¡°Has it finally arrived¡­¡± The test brought by the Yin Yang Fruit and what Qilin had seen when he had opened the Eye of Fate. Was the enemy afraid of him and wanted to destroy him in advance? What was this enemy? It seemed to be the Inner Demon Pearl, but wasn¡¯t that just a test? It was a world treasure that had no origin or form. Why would it see him as an enemy for no reason? Was it because he had obtained the Yin Yang Fruit? No, it had been given to him by the World Tree. In fact, if the Yin Yang Fruit was unwilling, he did not have the ability to keep it anyway. ¡°Om¡­¡± An ancient and ethereal voice was heard as a pearl appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. The Inner Demon Pearl had appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hands without any test. ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Lin Mo immediately stored it in the system space for the system to appraise. [ The world¡¯s most precious treasure, the Inner Demon Pearl. This is the projection of the Inner Demon Pearl. It was cultivated by the World Tree to fight against the enemy. ] ¡°What enemy?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. However, the system went silent. When he took out the Inner Demon Pearl again, Lin Mo realized that its color had faded. At the same time, his own realm had also improved. The Nine Heavens of the Almighty had stepped in, and the Inner Demon Pearl disappeared, helping Lin Mo to break through the barrier and advance successfully. ¡°Boohoohoo¡­¡± A series of sobs could be heard as Lin Mo was pondering the meaning of all this. It sounded like someone was crying in the space. It sounded very miserable and strange. Subconsciously, Lin Mo thought that perhaps the so-called enemy had arrived and wanted to eliminate him in advance because they were afraid of him. But why? Was it because he had the Yin Yang Fruit? It seems that I have to find an opportunity to go to the dojo belonging to Qilin¡¯s mother and see her¡­ Lin Mo sighed. He had many questions on his mind. However, he understood that he had to get through this first. Relying on his previous experience, Lin Mo knew how to deal with it. His opponent would imitate his moves. Just like the Inner Demon Pearl, he would create his own inner demon to confront it. However, it was different this time. A figure appeared in front of him which looked somewhat similar to himself. The other person was holding a long spear. It was completely black and was filled with boundless baleful qi. The moment he appeared, he immediately used a killing move. The figure was like a demonic god, waving his long spear as it attacked. The long spear smashed down furiously, splitting mountains and breaking mountains. The figure¡¯s aura and soul fluctuations were similar to Lin Mo¡¯s. The only difference was that the other party was a Level 9 Peak Almighty. ¡°Dang!¡± Lin Mo used the War Demon Spear to fight with it head-on, but he was instantly pushed back several hundred meters. Sparks flew from the spear. Lin Mo had not gained the upper hand in the previous exchange. In the distance, Mao Zhu and the others sensed the movement and were all shocked. Chapter 711 - 711 Spirit Devouring Bug 711 Spirit Devouring Bug They were bathed in the thunderstorm. Although they could not escape, they could still sense the movements on Lin Mo¡¯s end. When they finally saw the scene clearly, they could not help but be shocked. Who was this person that was capable of actually fighting on par with Lin Mo? ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± Buzzing sounds could be heard continuously as black holes appeared around Lin Mo. It was the fluctuation of the God Devouring Body which shocked Lin Mo to see. In the next moment, the black hole¡¯s suction force increased sharply, and Lin Mo felt a force in his body being continuously absorbed. However, the spiritual energy in his body did not weaken at all, and his soul power was normal. He didn¡¯t feel the slightest bit of discomfort when fighting against the figure opposite him. ¡°No, this force is¡­¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He could feel that the force that was being sucked away was the Yin Yang Fruit that had fused into his body. The so-called enemy had always coveted this¡­ ¡°How can things that are in my hands be stolen? Die!¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly as his body was enveloped by a black hole. At the same time, black holes appeared in all directions and began to devour the force that had been drawn away. Perhaps it was because he had the true God Devouring Body that he won the fight. As for the person who was fighting him, Lin Mo didn¡¯t know what spell technique he was using. It was very strange. Every time they crossed swords, he felt like he was hitting cotton. However, his opponent¡¯s attacks were like a storm, dense and powerful. Lin Mo used the ultimate Kun Peng Technique, but it was useless. He was blocked by his opponent and could not hurt him. Moreover, as Lin Mo was too tired to deal with the enemy, the strange black holes attacked again and devoured the power in Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°You must have a death wish.¡± Without a care, he let out an angry roar. He pushed back the figures in front of him and flapped his Kun Peng Wings as he flew out. He arrived in front of a black hole, raised his hand, and clenched his fist, annihilating it. There was a shrill scream which was extremely ear-piercing and unbearable. ¡°It¡¯s a living being.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He grabbed another black hole and shook off the power on it. Only then did he see the other party¡¯s true face. ¡°Bugs?¡± He was puzzled. The creatures that had devoured his power were actually insects¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± At the same time, a furious roar came from behind Lin Mo. The figure was actually attacking without a care for his life. The brutal battle allowed Lin Mo to seize the opportunity. Using the Nine Qilin Steps, Lin Mo took a step forward and stomped on the figure¡¯s chest. In an instant, a terrifying power exploded, causing his entire body to explode. The strange thing was that there was no blood. After the body exploded, it turned into a black mist and disappeared. Only a wisp of black light was left between his eyebrows. Lin Mo examined it carefully and found that it was also an insect, exactly the same as the one in his hand. ¡°It¡¯s a species I¡¯ve never seen before¡­¡± He had captured two insects. They were of the same type, but their cultivation levels were different. Perhaps it was because it had lost control of its body that it was unable to unleash its combat power even though it was a Level 9 Almighty. Lin Mo even felt that he could kill the two bugs if he just exerted a little more force. ¡°The two things that have caused me trouble twice are just two bugs?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled and kept it in the system space. This time, the appraisal took a little longer. Lin Mo waited for half an hour before the system¡¯s voice was finally heard. [ Spirit Devouring Bugs, an ancient species. They are not tolerated by the world and were exterminated when the world was created. ] [ This is an ordinary member of the Spirit Devouring Bug Clan. They have no intelligence and will only act according to their nature and execute the orders they receive. ] [ The Spirit Devouring Bugs are worthless and have no rank¡­ ] The successive introductions shocked Lin Mo, but at the same time, he had many questions. Since the ancient mutant species had already gone extinct, what exactly was in his hands now? Had they been resurrected by the World Tree or the so-called enemy? ¡°It¡¯s so chaotic¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and destroyed the two Spirit Devouring Bugs. As for the rest of the Spirit Devouring Bugs, they had long fled to God knows where by the time Lin Mo had finished his battle. However, Lin Mo was certain of one thing. They were attracted to the Yin Yang Fruit. This worried Lin Mo a little. If Qilin was also targeted while refining the Fruit of Fate, would she be able to survive? Even after pondering this for a while, he still did not get a satisfactory answer. He decided not to think too much about it and intended on cleaning up the battlefield, only to find that it had already been restored. The ground that had been blown up by the battle was inexplicably restored. What should have been his spoils of war, the pitch-black spear, had also disappeared. This scene made Lin Mo¡¯s heart tremble. He felt as if there was an inexplicable power controlling everything. The clouds of tribulation filled the sky. The three of them had gone through the tribulation smoothly and the thunderstorm tribulation had lasted for ten days. Lin Mo had been guarding this place for the past ten days. The Fire Spirit Lake had already recovered and he had kept it back in the system space. After a year of seclusion, all sorts of news spread throughout the ancient battlefield. The ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect had attracted countless people, and experts from all over the world had sent people over. ¡°I¡¯ve finally come out of seclusion. Young miss, you didn¡¯t have to wait for me¡­¡± In a quiet valley, Mu Yuzhu walked out with her maidservant, Su Qing. The latter was all smiles. The two of them emitted a faint glow as they flew deeper into the island. Many masters along the way avoided them, not daring to touch them. On the other side, a figure covered in golden light appeared. Gongsun Wenhao had led a large group of people and entered the Wind Spirit Sect ruins. ¡°Even Teng Feng is here. Why is he only at the First Heaven Layer of the King realm?¡± At the entrance of the island, some people were astonished. They recognized Teng Feng¡¯s identity and didn¡¯t understand why his cultivation level had been overtaken. ¡°What do you know? His First Heaven Layer of the King Realm can probably beat your Ninth Heaven Layer¡­¡± Some people sneered and mocked. In the past few days, news had constantly spread. Mu Yuzhu had come out of seclusion and broken through to the King tier. Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng had also reached the King tier and arrived at the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect. Everyone was discussing how the true masters of the Northern Continent had emerged from their seclusion and how it would be very soon that they would see who was stronger. Lin Mo did not know about this. He still felt that the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect had been emptied. After all, a year had passed. Even if there was a formation, it should have been broken by now. Mu Yuzhu¡¯s figure flickered as she rushed toward the deepest part of the Wind Spirit Sect. She had heard that all of the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s inheritances were on the last island. There was an uncountable number of killing formations, traps, and guardian demonic beasts. Now that the masters from all over the world had come out of seclusion, their first target was that particular place and they were about to meet. This included Lin Mo. He brought the three others in his group with him and prepared to venture deeper. On an island, Mu Yuzhu was slowly flying over. She held a jade-green folding fan in her hand, and as she gently fanned it, a strong wind blew in all directions. All the traps, formations, and demonic beasts along the way were destroyed. No one could stop her. At the entrance of the island, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng met. The two of them immediately joined forces and advanced forward. The two of them led their men in, sweeping away any obstacles along the way. ¡°I heard that Lin Mo and the Qilin girl are here as well. That¡¯s great. Let¡¯s kill them this time.¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face was calm, like the king of the world, whose words could decide the life and death of others¡­ Chapter 712 - 712 The Ancient Pottery Jar 712 The Ancient Pottery Jar The heavenly tribulation had dispersed, and the strength of Mao Zhu and the other two had increased. The four of them then left the island and flew deeper. ¡°It¡¯s been a year, but no one has been to the deepest part of the ruins¡­¡± said Feng Tian in disbelief. They had inquired about any news along the way and were a little surprised to find that they had not missed anything¡­ Even Lin Mo was surprised. He had thought that he would have to return home, but in the end, he would still be able to continue to search for treasures and have a chance of obtaining the legacy. After passing through the islands, they found that many of them had already been emptied, and nothing was left. ¡°Boom¡­¡± Suddenly, as Lin Mo and the other three walked to an area, formation flags appeared one after another and plunged fiercely into the ground. These flags were connected to each other, causing runes to bloom and activate a terrifying formation, trapping the group within. Suddenly, a mountain appeared above them. No one knew where it had been moved from, but it was as heavy as a thousand tons as it came down. In addition to that, magical weapons appeared all around them. There were living beings that were launching sneak attacks and displaying their martial arts techniques with vicious moves. Seeing this, Lin Mo snorted coldly. He then waved the palm of his hand and shattered a formation flag before flying out of the formation with the rest of his group. ¡°BOOM!¡± The mountain fell, the earth cracked, and rocks fell from the sky. ¡°Who¡¯s that? How dare you attack us?¡± Feng Tian said angrily as he looked at these people. The formation they had used was so peculiar that he actually did not notice it at first. ¡°It looks like a big fish. To be able to find the weakness of the killing spell, is he a formation master?¡± The nearby space fluctuated, and a group of people walked out of the crack in the void. They had been hiding in the space that Lin Mo had not taken the initiative to investigate, so they fell into the formation. Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued and he said, ¡°The killing formation is capable of killing a Seventh Heaven King. How hard is it to set it up?¡± If it was simple, he wouldn¡¯t mind taking it down and setting it up again in Lin City. ¡°It¡¯s not difficult, and it can be used repeatedly. The only flaw is that the formation is incomplete and isn¡¯t capable of trapping a formation master like you. The people who had walked out of the void laughed loudly. They really thought that Lin Mo was a formation master. After all, he had been able to quickly discover the weak points of the formation flags and break the formation with just one strike. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s not like it can¡¯t be used¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. This group of people was surprised. They looked at Lin Mo a little uncertainly. There were more than twenty of them, and every one of them was a King tier. None of them were weak. ¡°Formation master, if you want this formation map, we can sell it to you,¡± said a man with two snake heads. ¡°Is that so? What price will you sell it for?¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. These people were really interesting. They thought he was a formation master, but in reality, he was the only one who knew the truth. As soon as the formation had been formed, he had released his soul power to see where the weak points were and break the formation with absolute power. In their eyes, he had become a master of formations¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not expensive. You guys can definitely afford it. I just don¡¯t know if you¡¯re willing to buy it,¡± said a creature who walked out from the opposite side. There were many tattoos on its body and dark yellow vertical pupils. It was unclear what kind of demonic beast it was. ¡°Brother Yi She, why are you beating around the bush?¡± Someone said impatiently. ¡°After all, he¡¯s a formation master, so we need to get him to join us.¡± The man known as Yi She smiled and looked at Lin Mo. ¡°Join us and let me leave a blood mark on your soul.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said to be a fiend-breaking formation. We can let you check all the formation maps we¡¯ve collected during this time. As soon as he said that, the rest of the people laughed out loud and looked at Lin Mo teasingly, their eyes filled with greed. ¡°Then forget it, I¡¯m not interested in this fiend-breaking formation.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. At the same time, he was interested in the relic snake. He had seen it in some records of demonic beasts. Yi She was the descendant of the ancient beast Fei Yi. It was recorded that the Fei Yi was a strange snake with one head and two bodies. The two gallbladders of the snake had extraordinary effects and were comparable to divine pills. However, it was very rare to see Fei Yis in the world nowadays. Even if there were, they were either not of pure blood or evolved from ordinary snakes. Since it had the bloodline of the Fei Yi, the gallbladder of the Yi She would be valuable. Even if the bloodline was not pure, it was still a treasure in this realm. Making a pot of snake soup would also be very nourishing. ¡°Friend, I believe you¡¯ve rejected me too quickly. You¡¯re making things very difficult for me. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to justify it if you don¡¯t compensate me with a divine medicine, right? ¡± Yi She¡¯s voice gradually turned cold, and he looked at Lin Mo with a faint smile. ¡°If you want to grab it, then just grab it. Just as well, I¡¯ve also taken a fancy to your snake gallbladder. You¡¯re a descendant of the Fei Yi, right? I can make a pot of snake soup with it¡­¡± Lin Mo said mercilessly. ¡°Haha, we should¡¯ve made our move long ago.¡± Behind them, another creature walked up. It was a white lion that carried himself with the air of a king. ¡°BOOM!¡± Both the White Lion and Yi She took a step forward at the same time, and a wave of energy spread out, fusing into the ground and destroying it. The two living beings were very cautious. They had guessed that Lin Mo was a formation master and were worried that he had set up an underground formation. They seemed to be the leaders of this group of people. The moment they stepped forward, the rest of the people also surrounded them. ¡°Brother Yi She, Brother Lion, there¡¯s no need to trouble you both, is there? Just leave it to us,¡± said someone slowly, clearly feeling that victory was in their hands. ¡°You are quite capable. Although you can barely make it onto the Hidden Dragon List, you are still at the bottom. Plus, your vision is so bad that you can¡¯t even show yourself,¡± said Lin Mo, shaking his head as he gave his evaluation of them. ¡°Haha, let me do it.¡± Feng Tian laughed as he stepped forward, stopping Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue who were also about to make a move. ¡°BOOM!¡± As the battle broke out, Feng Tian was the only one who attacked, but it changed the world. All these people were shocked, especially Yi She and the White Lion. They were both qualified to be on the Hidden Dragon List. However, due to personal reasons, they had not increased in rank. This did not affect their strength though, and they had also managed to rope in a group of strong people to join them. In the end, he had met with an obstacle, a very difficult obstacle. Lin Mo and the other two didn¡¯t make a move. They merely spread out to prevent these people from escaping. Feng Tian attacked alone, his moves were quick and agile. In ten minutes, he killed all these creatures. ¡°Ma snake soup, red braised lion¡¯s head. Little girl, come out quickly. There¡¯s delicious food waiting for you.¡± Lin Mo put away the corpses of Yi She and the White Lion without digging out the inner core and snake gallbladders. He was waiting for the Qilin to come out of seclusion so that they could enjoy them together. ¡°Hey, I can¡¯t see through this thing. It¡¯s very mysterious. My soul power can¡¯t penetrate it.¡± Elsewhere, Mao Zhu randomly picked up the spoils of war on the ground and found a broken clay pot. The pottery jar had been carved with strange runes, which were very mysterious. When his soul power entered it, it was blocked by a mysterious force and he could not take a closer look. ¡°So, it¡¯s like this¡­¡± Lin Mo withdrew his soul power and kept it in the system space. [ An ancient pottery jar with rune marks on it. There are three runes in total, and when gathered together, they can open a sealed space. ] The earthen jar was not a treasure, but the runes and imprints within it were very precious. It was just a pity that it could only be opened after three pieces had been collected. The ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect were so huge. Where would he be able to find them? Chapter 713 - 713 Heavens Will Body 713 Heaven¡¯s Will Body ¡°It¡¯s a pity that all of them have been killed¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. There were no survivors left for him to ask where they had obtained the jar. It would be a little troublesome to collect all of them. ¡°Could this really be a treasure?¡± Feng Tian was stunned. Did these people really have such valuable things on them? ¡°Keep looking, there might be other jars.¡± Lin Mo and the others searched for a while, but unfortunately, they found nothing. They could not find a similar jar. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, let¡¯s take it slow.¡± After clearing up the bodies on the ground, the small group of people quickly went deeper. They stopped at the islands they passed by to have a good look. They also spotted the Divine Fruit Forest that the Qilin had been thinking about. It was just a pity that this place was a wasteland. There were the remains of a battle everywhere, and corpses littered the ground. The great battle had taken place about half a year ago. Since this place had been discovered, it had experienced many world-shattering battles. All the Divine Fruit Trees had been dug up by different people and scattered in different places. No one knew where they had gone. It was the same for the other islands. They visited many places but found nothing. This place was truly barren. The people who had come in had dug three feet into the ground and taken away all the treasures they could. Even some places of opportunity had their roots broken and completely turned into ordinary land. ¡°It¡¯s truly wicked for the roots of opportunity to be cut off. How immoral. Sooner or later, these people will die under the heavenly tribulation,¡± cursed Lin Mo. It was understandable that the fertile soil of the Divine Fruit Forest had been dug away. After all, the opportunity had not only been cut off, but it had been taken away for their own benefit. Some of the cultivation areas that could not be taken away had already been destroyed beyond recognition, making it impossible to cultivate. ¡°Sigh, greed exists in all living beings in the world. How many of them are capable of exercising self-discipline?¡± Mao Zhu and the others also sighed. For the next few days, they continued to fly further in. Since they had not gained anything, they began to speed up. It was the same for all the cultivators. There were no more opportunities on the islands that were on the outside. One by one, they began their journey towards the deepest part of the island. This was the last island, which was also the largest and the most dangerous. It was said that this was the headquarters of the Wind Spirit Sect, where all the precious inheritances of the people were stored. There were even rumors that an ancient scripture of a Great Emperor could also be found here. It was a scripture that could drive anyone crazy. If anyone brought it out, the entire Northern Continent would go crazy. The Wind Spirit Island was the name that people came up with later on, and it was recognized by many people. In this place, there were an uncountable number of formations, traps, demonic beasts, ghosts, and monsters. If one was not careful, one might lose their life here. When they arrived, Lin Mo and the rest were also on high alert as they carefully entered. ¡°It¡¯s really dangerous. There¡¯s a killing formation at the entrance¡­¡± said Lin Mo. He did not know why the Wind Spirit Sect had placed so many killing formations here. Even a peerless master could easily die here. This was not the right way to choose an heir¡­ The island was huge, with many entrances. It could accommodate more than a hundred thousand people, and many had come during this period of time. Everyone was heading deeper into the forest. Lin Mo led the three others in his group forward while clearing all obstacles along the way. After breaking through the killing formations, his gains were also quite bountiful. He managed to obtain two divine medicines that had been enveloped by the formation. There was also a Level 5 Heaven-class skill book, which caused a lot of people to fight for it. Even if someone recognized that he was Lin Mo, someone who had unparalleled combat strength, they would still try to snatch it away. No one would give up on a technique that could change their fate. A high-level technique was a weapon for them to become a quasi-Saint in the future. After a huge battle, Lin Mo finally managed to escape. He picked up the divine medicine and left. As for the cultivation technique, he was too lazy to grab it. Besides, he didn¡¯t need it anyway. In the distance, at another entrance, a woman as beautiful as a fairy appeared. The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of countless people. ¡°Is that a fairy? She¡¯s so beautiful¡­¡± mumbled someone to himself in a daze. The woman stepped on a green lotus as a smile appeared on her beautiful face. ¡°I¡¯ve heard of her before. She¡¯s not from the Northern Continent, but from the Central Land. It¡¯s said that she was sent to the ancient battlefield by an elder of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Her background is a mystery¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know much, but I¡¯ve seen her fight against Xiao Yun. Her combat strength is almost heaven-defying.¡± ¡°How did it end?¡± Asked some creatures curiously. ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell who the winner was, but both of them were holding back. I just don¡¯t know what her name is¡­¡± As if a thought came to his mind, someone whispered, ¡°I¡¯ve heard that she has the strongest body type in the history of the human race, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a God Devouring Body in the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect. I wonder what the outcome would be if they fought.¡± Many people were secretly discussing with each other as they peeked at the woman on the green lotus. ¡°God Devouring Body¡­ Lin Mo, you¡¯ve actually come¡­¡± The woman chuckled. She was actually asking someone about the whereabouts of the God Devouring Body. After receiving the news, she quickly flew toward the depths of the island at an extremely fast speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Looking at the woman¡¯s disappearing back, the people reacted and instantly burst into an uproar. ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Will Body is looking for the God Devouring Body. Are they going to fight?¡± In the distance, Lin Mo led the three of them to an empty plot of land. Since they were in no hurry to enter the depths of the island, they broke through the formation and began picking herbs. Being completely unaware of what was happening, he coincidentally met Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant while wandering around the island. The two women were strolling around the island together, observing the layout of the killing formations around them and looking for opportunities. ¡°It has been a long time since we last met. Your cultivation level has fallen behind¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu said as she waved her hand jokingly. ¡°No way. I¡¯ve already consumed so many resources¡­¡± said Lin Mo, explaining his situation to Mu Yuzhu in detail. The two of them exchanged information, and Lin Mo took out the jar he had obtained. ¡°This is it. Do you have something similar? If all three sections of the runes can be obtained, a great fortune can be obtained¡­¡± This was his only gain, and it had been from the hands of the bandits. To his surprise, Mu Yuzhu really did have a section. She took out a teacup and handed it to Lin Mo. In addition, there was also a fire stick that had been burnt black. ¡°It¡¯s rumored that you have extraordinary appraisal skills. Please help me take a look.¡± After the system space¡¯s appraisal, it was discovered that the teacup contained one of the runic imprints. Although it was similar to the clay pot, the set was still far from being completed. ¡°This fire stick¡­¡± He frowned as he finished reading the introduction of the teacup. The system¡¯s appraisal finally came out. [ Heavy Wood, once soaked in an extreme Yin place for a hundred thousand years. It is a Quasi-Immortal Level immortal material and can be used to refine an extreme Yin celestial device. ] [ Due to a failed attempt to refine a magic weapon, the yin qi inside was burned by the Dao fire, causing serious damage. Its quality has dropped to a Level 8 Heaven realm. ] There is only one chance to cultivate it. If you fail, the divine material will be destroyed. Hearing the system¡¯s introduction, Lin Mo sighed to himself. It was such a good treasure, but its quality had dropped because of the lack of Yin qi inside, which was why it could be hidden so well. In fact, it appeared to have been slightly burned by the Dao fire. ¡°Immortal materials used to be used for buying divine medicine. Not bad.¡± Mu Yuzhu nodded her head in satisfaction. After all, it was an immortal material. However, she would have been very satisfied even if it wasn¡¯t immortal material. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll explore the Wind Spirit Sect Ruins together and split the benefits equally.¡± Chapter 714 - 714 Reuniting With Old Friends 714 Reuniting With Old Friends Both parties chose to join forces and walk together because they had received news that Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng had joined forces. If they didn¡¯t find an ally, they would be at a disadvantage in fighting for any opportunities¡­ ¡°What?¡± Just as he was about to move forward, Lin Mo seemed to have sensed something. He looked to his right and behind him. This aura was very familiar¡­ A woman had flown over while standing on a green lotus. Her body was surrounded by immortal qi, looking like a banished immortal from heaven. ¡°Xia You¡­¡± Their eyes met, and he staggered two steps back. In addition to the shock he felt, he also could not hide his excitement. Ever since he had come to the Northern Continent, he had no relatives. Before he met the little Qilin, he had always been alone. He had made enemies everywhere and was hunted down by the whole world. Whenever he looked back on the past, he would inevitably feel lonely. He had originally thought that they would never meet again, but who would have thought that he would meet Xia You here? This saintess of the Divine Secrets Holy Land had accomplished an unimaginable feat by ascending with her entire sect. She was still like a banished immortal, undesecrated, and beautiful beyond comparison¡­ In contrast to Lin Mo¡¯s loss of self-control, Xia You¡¯s face remained indifferent, and she looked at him with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s been such a long time. The saintess ascended and left behind an unsurpassable legend!¡± Lin Mo turned around and sighed as he looked at the fairy who was standing on the green lotus. Inexplicably, meeting Xia You again made him feel quite emotional. Seeing a friend from his hometown, he did not know what to say¡­ Xia You kept the smile on her beautiful face as she said, ¡°The Eastern Continent is a place of great desolation. I thought it would be difficult to meet again in this life.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would still come. You¡¯ve come to an even more vast world. Where¡¯s your wife and the others? ¡± This strange conversation between the two of them stunned the many people around them. What was going on? Hadn¡¯t they said that the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body were going to fight? However, these two people seemed to know each other, and they were even chatting¡­ ¡°You two come from the same place? What?¡± Mao Zhu was shocked. Both she and Song Lianxue knew about Lin Mo¡¯s background. In the barren Eastern Continent, no one could set foot on the Immortal Foundation Stage. It could even be said to be a wasteland, where cultivators found it difficult to even move an inch. ¡°Why do I have this feeling of wanting to surrender to her¡­¡± said Feng Tian, as he looked at Xia You warily. He did not know Lin Mo¡¯s origins, so he was baffled by Xia You¡¯s words. ¡°Won¡¯t there be any problems if you speak the truth about the Eastern Continent?¡± Lin Mo spoke via voice transmission to tell Xia You not to make a big deal out of it. The Eastern Continent was obviously not a simple place, and it was about to usher in a Golden Age. However, compared to the other continents that had been around for countless years, it was still too weak. Moreover, he had already offended so many people. It would be troublesome if someone went to the Eastern Continent to seek revenge. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The Eastern Continent has already been sealed off. No one can enter or leave,¡± said Xia You as she shook her head and told Lin Mo this news. In fact, after hearing the news about the Eastern continent, she had thought that she would have to wait a long time to see Lin Mo again. However, when she was sent to the Northern Continent to train on the ancient battlefield and learned of the God Devouring Body, she had guessed that it was Lin Mo. It was impossible for two God Devouring Bodies to appear at the same time in this world, at least not in the same era. Hence, she had thought of searching for Lin Mo after she entered but failed. The ancient battlefield was too vast so it had been difficult to find him. Now that they were meeting each other again, Lin Mo was now even more powerful, and she had also obtained an extraordinary fortune. ¡°This is good¡­¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. After receiving such news, he could do things more unscrupulously in the future. ¡°However, your realm is a little low. Fortunately, your fighting competence has caught up. The God Devouring Body needs a lot of resources. Can you bear with that?¡± Xia You said as she nodded her head and started to comment on Lin Mo. The two of them came from the same place and had already fought many times, so it was difficult to determine the winner. The reason she had come here was to have another battle to make up for her regrets in the Eastern Continent. ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. I¡¯m very capable,¡± said Lin Mo while laughing heartily. He was very confident in this. Mao Zhu, Song Lianxue, and the others did not know what to say. They could sense that Xia You was not an enemy. Furthermore, she was actually from the Eastern Continent, just like Lin Mo. The people who had been chasing after her from afar were unable to calm down. They had thought that the Heaven¡¯s Will Body came from the Central Continent, while the God Devouring Body was a wandering cultivator from the Northern Continent. Who would have thought that both of them were from the Eastern Continent? That barren land was devoid of spiritual energy. The birth of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body in such a place was a huge shock to them. A place had given birth to two peerless masters, and they were both from the human race. They were also old friends. ¡°The human race is truly a terrifying race. There are so many of them and they are clearly on the verge of decline. Yet, in the end, two great masters have appeared¡­¡± Some of the living beings said as they lamented the power of the human race. Secretly, some people who hated Lin Mo were afraid. They had wanted to see the God Devouring Body kill the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. Some people were frowning because they had received news that Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng had come out of seclusion and broken through to the King tier. They had already arrived at the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect. Their purpose was to come here to kill Lin Mo, the God Devouring Body. If one were to encounter the God Devouring Body, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, and Mu Yuzhu, wouldn¡¯t one be in deep trouble? ¡°How about we travel together? Speaking of which, we haven¡¯t really cooperated with each other before,¡± said Lin Mo with a chuckle. Xia You chuckled as well. Although the two of them had worked together in the Eastern Continent, they had also secretly played many dirty tricks¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no rush. You still have two friends to entertain.¡± She shook her head and pointed. From the distant end of the mountain range, a huge group was flying over. They surrounded the place with a sense of oppression, causing some people to be frightened. Everyone followed the line of sight and saw two figures at the very front of the line with the aura of a king. They were like sovereigns descending to the world, and this aura made people want to submit to them. These were Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng. The two peerless masters were here. They were the strongest experts in the ancient battlefield. The place instantly became very lively and attracted many people. Yunzhou was flourishing. Two peerless masters had been born in that one state and it was about to rise. Gongsun Wenhao was wearing golden armor. The halberd in his hand emitted a dazzling golden light. As he stepped forward, countless mountains around him trembled. This was his strength. After breaking through to the King tier, his battle prowess had increased greatly and he was one of the top masters in the ancient battlefield. ¡°Lin Mo, Lord Gongsun Wenhao has arrived. Hurry up and come over,¡± said the disciple of the Gongsun family. ¡°Hmph, the fact that you¡¯ve been protecting the Qilin girl has caused us to lose a great opportunity. Lin Mo, today is the day you will die.¡± Someone said angrily. They wanted to see Lin Mo killed today. They were very happy because they felt that the Qilin was not here and thought that they might have been separated. This was a good opportunity. ¡°Anyone not related to this manner, please step back.¡± Many people immediately cleared the scene. This included Mu Yuzhu, Mao Zhu, and the others. Because of the forces behind them, they could not help but push them away. Back then, almost the entire Northern Continent had been involved in the attack on the Qilin. Because of this, the three of them were undecided¡­ ¡°How dare you! Why aren¡¯t you backing off?¡± A woman shouted at Xia You. Although she could sense that the other party was extraordinary, she was still fearless. This scene made some of the onlookers worried. They had originally wanted to see the battle between the God Devouring Body and the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. But now, the two of them seemed to have joined forces¡­ Chapter 715 - 715 Eye of Martial Arts 715 Eye of Martial Arts ¡°Should I say that your luck is good or bad¡­?¡± Xia You teased Lin Mo, her eyes flickering as she looked at the surroundings. They were both from the Eastern Continent, but she was the center of attention while Lin Mo was the enemy of the entire world. However, he had also been able to obtain the inheritance of the Kun Peng and get to know the only divine beast in the world, the White Qilin. It was a great blessing¡­ ¡°Hmph, Lord Gongsun Wenhao and Lord Teng Feng have come to capture the God Devouring Body, yet you still dare to stay? Do you have a death wish?¡± Someone rushed forward with a powerful ritual implement, as if he could suppress the mountain range. However, to everyone¡¯s shock, the power of the powerful weapon dissipated when it approached the woman beside Lin Mo. Divine Chains of Order hung down from the sky, binding the magical artifacts. ¡°Crack¡­¡± A crisp sound reverberated in everyone¡¯s ears and lingered for a long time. Immortal Qi surrounded Xia You¡¯s body, and a strange rune flickered between her brows, connecting both heaven and earth. At this moment, holy light burst out from her body and broke through the clouds. Countless runes shone and imprinted themselves in the void. Immortal Qi lingered and divine light filled the sky. The entire heaven and earth obeyed the order and lowered the Divine Chains of Order to protect them. ¡°Is this the Heaven¡¯s Will Body?¡± Some people were mumbling to themselves. They had not even moved, yet such a phenomenon had already erupted and restrained their opponent¡¯s magic weapon. ¡°Heaven¡¯s Will Body? What is this Heaven¡¯s Will Body?¡± The person holding the magic weapon was stunned as he listened to the discussion of the people in the distance. In the rear, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng¡¯s men were dumbfounded. They couldn¡¯t believe it, and their hearts were filled with shock. They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave from the depths of their souls, causing them to shiver. The God Devouring Body alone was very difficult to deal with because it was one of the strongest physiques of the human race, and there had not been one in a million years. Not only did the current human race have the God Devouring Body, but also the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. The two unparalleled body types were simply unimaginable. ¡°Pfft.¡± The person who had attacked immediately vomited blood and flew backward. His magic weapon had already been crushed by the Divine Chains of Order. His breath became weak, and he had suffered unimaginable heavy injuries. The level of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body was too high. In the world today, only Xiao Yun, Tang Ru, and a few others could fight against it¡­ They were just ordinary people, yet they had behaved so arrogantly just a moment ago. It was simply ridiculous. ¡°This is going to be difficult. It¡¯s going to be a little difficult to kill Lin Mo¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Moreover, if this drags on for too long, it might not be good if the Qilin comes to help as well¡­¡± The people of the Gongsun family and the Teng family were all afraid, and some even thought of retreating. The Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body were too terrifying. Now that they had joined forces, anyone who saw them would be afraid. Although their group consisted of many people, if they really fought, only Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng were truly capable of fighting. They were not even qualified to assist. Furthermore, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body was one level higher. She might still have the energy to completely annihilate them after the battle. In the distance, more and more people gathered to watch, and they began to call their friends over. There were even some people who had begun to fan the flames, hoping to see a true battle between both parties. Around the mountain range, more and more people came to watch the confrontation between the two parties. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why aren¡¯t you guys fighting? What are Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng waiting for?¡± The group of people couldn¡¯t wait any longer. They also knew that if this dragged on, Gongsun Wenhao and Teng Feng would be at a disadvantage. Because the Qilin wasn¡¯t here, they figured that she must be rushing over. At that time, it wouldn¡¯t be a two-on-two battle any longer. In a three-on-two situation, the people of the Gongsun family and the Teng family would all die. ¡°This young lady¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao looked at Xia You as he clenched his fists. However, before he could say what he was thinking, Xia You interrupted him. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. If you want to fight, then just do it.¡± Her straightforward words cut off Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s thoughts and made his face gloomy. ¡°Hmph, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you really think that you can behave so arrogantly just because you have the Heaven¡¯s Will Body?¡± Teng Feng said coldly. He was also a master with extraordinary combat strength. Even if he was one realm lower, he wouldn¡¯t be much weaker. Furthermore, Lin Mo, who was on the other side, had not even broken through to the King tier. ¡°If you want to do it, then do it quickly. We¡¯re in a hurry.¡± Lin Mo spread his hands. Although he had not broken through to the King tier, he did not think that he would lose. Gongsun Wenhao walked forward and exchanged a glance with Teng Feng. The two of them had already decided on their opponents. Teng Feng would block the Heaven¡¯s Will Body while he would use all of his strength to cripple Lin Mo before helping him. During this time, their clansmen would also help them set up formations. A great battle began at this moment, and both sides took out their magic weapons. Gongsun Wenhao held a huge bone blade in his hand. Black runes curled around the blade. He had obtained this bone saber from the ruins of Kun Peng and brought it back to his family. It had been cultivated many times and was now completely his. Even a Supreme Saint would not be able to take it away unless he was killed. The moment he made his move, the bone saber glowed brighter and brighter, forming a powerful saber intent that pressed down. At their level, the magic weapons they used were no longer important. No matter what it was, as long as it was in their hands, they would be able to draw parallels from it, quickly become proficient, and fight with ease. The bone blade exploded with a powerful aura as it slashed towards Lin Mo. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Lin Mo finally moved. His eyes were cold as the black hole expanded and absorbed the spiritual qi from the surroundings. He raised his finger and pointed. A suction force exploded in the void, absorbing the energy in the saber intent and disintegrating it. Due to the Yin Yang Fruit, his control of the God Devouring Body had reached its peak, and he could use it with all his might. ¡°BOOM!¡± Heaven and earth shook, and the ripples from the two battlefields spread out, creating all kinds of strange phenomena. Everyone was dumbstruck as they watched this scene without blinking. This battle was definitely the most exciting one since the opening of the ancient battlefield. Even after leaving this place, this battle would be recorded in the history of the Northern Continent. No matter what the result was, the four who had participated in this battle would leave their names in the annals of history. In mid-air, Lin Mo took out the War Demon Spear and faced the bone blade that Gongsun Wenhao had obtained. The two magic weapons were evenly matched, and bright sparks burst out when they collided. ¡°Crack!¡± Cracks appeared and the space was torn apart by the battle between the two. The void was faintly visible and an endless storm erupted. ¡°What a powerful physical body¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s eyes were solemn. After his battle with Lin Mo, he was extremely shocked. This guy¡¯s physical body was even stronger than his after going through the King¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation. If he waited for Lin Mo to transcend the King¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation, what level would he reach? ¡°Hey!¡± The space between his brows lit up, and a wisp of divine light appeared. A vertical eye had actually opened at this moment, and a divine aura appeared. The crowd was extremely excited as they recognized the technique. Even Lin Mo was on guard. ¡°Heavenly Eye of Martial Arts, open!¡± Gongsun Wenhao shouted out loudly. With the help of the divine light, he looked like a god who was about to punish someone. Furthermore, those who possessed the Eye of Martial Law could see through all the flaws in the opponent¡¯s attacks. The strongest and weakest point, the essence of the symbols, could be seen with a single glance. This was an ability that one had a chance of comprehending while transcending the King¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation. Under normal circumstances, one would need to be at least a Saint or even a Supreme Saint to completely comprehend it and cultivate it with the help of the heavenly tribulation. To be able to learn it in the King¡¯s realm, he had to be an unparalleled master of his generation¡­ Chapter 716 - 716 The Floating Flame Flag 716 The Floating Flame Flag They exchanged blows again, causing Lin Mo to instantly be at a disadvantage. Every attack of his was suppressed by Gongsun Wenhao. Whenever he was about to exert his strength, he would be blocked. The other party¡¯s attacks were all just right, being able to resolve it every time. The bone blade struck again, and the void trembled. The space that had just been repaired by heaven and earth shattered once again. A terrifying saber intent spread out and attacked from a tricky angle, sealing off all of Lin Mo¡¯s escape routes. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was grave. The Kun Peng Wings appeared on his back and he dodged with the speed of the Kun Peng. Finally, he found an opening and dodged the attack. ¡°Lord Gongsun Wenhao is an unrivaled master and unstoppable.¡± Behind them, the people of the Gongsun family shouted excitedly. Lin Mo had been forced to use the Kun Peng technique to gain the upper hand. ¡°How can a puny insect such as you dare to challenge the dignity of a king?¡± Gongsun Wenhao hovered in mid-air and looked at Lin Mo. The vertical eye between his brows lit up and activated the laws, causing runes to appear. In the distance, Xia You and Teng Feng, who were in the middle of fighting, also noticed this. ¡°He¡¯s extremely lucky to have comprehended the Eye of Martial Arts during the Heavenly Tribulation. Lin Mo is no match for him. It¡¯s not too late for you to retreat now,¡± Teng Feng said coldly. ¡°Is luck what¡¯s needed to comprehend this?¡± Xia You raised her head, only to reveal the holy light bloom between her eyes. A vertical eye appeared, causing everyone to turn pale with fright. ¡°I thought there were more masters in the northern land other than just those few people. It turns out that it¡¯s only due to luck¡­¡± said Xia You indifferently as she stood in mid-air, her martial heavenly eye shining brightly. At this moment, the pressure on Teng Feng increased sharply, and he had no choice but to use some of his trump cards. He knew that it would be impossible for him to defeat the woman in front of him. After all, she had yet to use the power of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. The power to communicate with heaven and earth, and control order and rules had yet to appear. ¡°BOOM!¡± Gongsun Wenhao pointed his bone blade to the sky. The world suddenly darkened, and a dark aura emerged. As the bone blade slashed out, a mass of black energy came slashing out. This attack was able to corrode the flesh and blood of living beings, and attack the soul. It was a martial art technique of the Gongsun family, ¡°Extreme Yin Black Mist. Facing Lin Mo, who had activated the Kun Peng Art, Gongsun Wenhao did not dare to be careless. He began to use a high-level martial art. ¡°Hey!¡± However, Lin Mo did not retreat even half a step in the face of the attack. He folded his wings, and a faint ripple appeared in the surroundings. He had transformed into a huge black fish, and the black mist¡¯s attack had no effect on him at all. At the same time, he also made an attack. His fishtail swayed, drawing the power of the moon and gathering it, forming a black beam of light. With a booming sound, heaven and earth shook. The spiritual qi began to boil, and the mountains and rivers in all directions collapsed. Laws and spiritual qi filled the entire place. The people watching the battle had no choice but to retreat, feeling terrified. Everyone retreated thousands of miles before stopping, afraid of being affected. However, there was an exception. These were the people from the Gongsun family and the Teng family. Although they weren¡¯t the most talented, they still had a good eye. Knowing that Teng Feng was no match for the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, they began to set up a killing formation, with the intention of helping Gongsun Wenhao kill Lin Mo quickly. ¡°Where is the Qilin? If you don¡¯t call her out, you will die here today,¡± said Gongsun Wenhao. The vertical eye on his forehead shone, and his body bloomed with golden light. He put on a layer of golden armor to further enhance his physical strength, surpassing Lin Mo¡¯s. ¡°If she really were to come, you¡¯d probably turn around and run,¡± sneered Lin Mo as he circulated the Soul-Devouring Art to absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Gongsun Wenhao, who had comprehended the Eye of Martial Arts, had a huge increase in his battle strength. If he didn¡¯t take it seriously today, he would probably suffer a great loss. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll capture you today and search for the Qilin,¡± said Gongsun Wenhao. Golden light bloomed from his body as he mobilized the spiritual energy in his body and prepared to launch a powerful attack. ¡°BOOM!¡± With a flip of his hand, the bone saber force slashed down with a golden light. It was as if it was the next Heavenly Tribulation, and its momentum was great. The saber intent cracked the sky and earth, suppressing everything. This attack contained Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s comprehension of the blade¡¯s intent. He had never used a blade before, but after obtaining the bone blade, he had trained hard, and his comprehension of the blade¡¯s intent had reached a terrifying realm. ¡°What a terrifying power. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s comprehension of the blade is so profound,¡± someone exclaimed, sighing at his talent. Although it was said that the eighteen types of martial arts had some connections, it was not something that could be learned in a day. Furthermore, his comprehension of saber intent had reached such a profound level in just one or two years. This alone was enough to prove Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s talent. Lin Mo snorted coldly in the face of the attack. Purple light appeared beneath his feet, and a Qilin appeared behind him. After taking nine steps, the wind and clouds changed. This was the powerful martial art of the Qilin clan, ¡°Nine Qilin Steps¡±. ¡°BOOM!¡± The two attacks collided, and a violent explosion rang out in the heavens and earth. It was as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky, causing the earth to crack. The wind and clouds in the world were turbulent, and the spiritual qi exploded. A violent wind rose, destroying everything without restraint. The exchange of blows between the two of them caused such terrifying fluctuations, causing strange phenomena to appear everywhere. After a long time, there was a loud explosion, followed by a bloody mist and countless screams. ¡°Do you guys dare to ambush me?¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°Lin Mo, how dare you!¡± At this moment, Gongsun Wenhao was furious. The divine light from the heavenly Eye of Truth disappeared. With the help of the ripples of energy, Lin Mo had killed his clansmen with the speed of the Kun Peng. Even though he could see through Lin Mo¡¯s actions with his Eye of Martial Arts, he was still unable to do anything. He hadn¡¯t been able to keep up with the speed and could only watch as his clansmen were killed and the formation that he was about to set up was destroyed. Lin Mo smiled calmly. He had always been bold, ever since he started cultivating. ¡°You deserve to die for trying to ambush me with a formation,¡± he said coldly. As he spoke, he looked at the three formation flags that he had just snatched. They were surrounded by immortal Dao talismans. This was a mystery that he couldn¡¯t figure it out for a while. In front of Gongsun Wenhao, he put away the three formation flags. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Innate Spirit Treasure, an imitation of the Floating Flame Flag. There are five flags in total, two are lost. ] [ A complete flag can be used to set up the Yin Yang Five Elements formation, trapping people within it. It will disrupt yin and yang, stabilize the five elements, and completely trap them to death. ] [ The Yin Yang Five Elements formation diagram is engraved on the flag, and is not complete. ] The system¡¯s introduction made Lin Mo freeze on the spot. Although he showed no expression on his face, his heart was already in a state of shock. The Floating Flame Flag was one of the primordial spiritual treasures and primordial flags of the five regions. Could it be here too? If it really did exist, then did the other Supreme magic treasures also exist? For example, the other four Innate flags of the five regions¡­ If he was able to get them, or if he could get the rebate from the auction, it would add to his terrifying trump card¡­ ¡°No, I can¡¯t throw away or swallow any more magical artifacts in the future¡­¡± Lin Mo was extremely excited. He had the War Demon Spear and was very comfortable with it, so he did not pay attention to the auctioning of magic weapons. Even if it wasn¡¯t because he was too lazy to auction them off, he would immediately devour them after obtaining them, only wanting to improve his realm¡­ Chapter 717 - 717 The Sun and the Moon Are in the Same Sky 717 The Sun and the Moon Are in the Same Sky However, he couldn¡¯t do it now. No matter what, he just had to obtain such a powerful treasure. ¡°Hand over my treasure.¡± Gongsun Wenhao, who was in front of him, roared in anger. The flag that he had given to his subordinates to set up the formation had been obtained by Lin Mo just like that. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to have a replica of the Floating Flame Flag. Where did you get it?¡± Lin Mo smiled as he tried to get some information out of him. Unfortunately, Gongsun Wenhao didn¡¯t give him a chance to do so. He slashed his bone blade down in an effort to take Lin Mo¡¯s life. ¡°That¡¯s the Floating Flame Flag, a primordial spiritual treasure. According to my estimation, it¡¯s at least a magical artifact. Give me some information and I¡¯ll spare your life. How about it?¡± Lin Mo said slyly. ¡°You¡¯ve completely infuriated me.¡± Golden runes covered Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body and his killing intent spread. ¡°Roar!¡± With a furious roar, his body swelled slightly. The aura on his body completely transformed from divine to fiendish, full of killing intent. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo did not back down. He activated the Abyssal Devouring, which swallowed the sun and moon, and absorbed all the rivers. At the same time, he transformed into a Kun Peng which struck the water for 3000 miles, causing it to swing upwards for 90000 miles. ¡°BOOM!¡± It was another peak confrontation. Both sides completely went all out and used their full strength. It made people¡¯s hearts jump. The Kun Peng demon god swept over the mountains, causing the space to instantly shatter and was difficult to repair. The two of them stirred the void. Fortunately, they had impeccable control over their power. They were able to control the explosion within a very small area so that it would not spread out and hurt the onlookers. It wasn¡¯t that they were being kind. However, in doing so, they were able to maximize the power of their attacks and at the same time, save on the consumption of spiritual energy. ¡°Golden Immortal Body!¡± Gongsun Wenhao growled and his body suddenly expanded. Golden light filled the air and sent Lin Mo¡¯s Kun Peng flying. This was a body-cultivating martial art. When he used it, he turned into a Golden Demon God and attacked Lin Mo. ¡°Chaotic Point of Yin and Yang!¡± Lin Mo shouted. He flapped his wings and a beam of light flew out from the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram. In an instant, the power of yin and yang spread out and suppressed Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°Crack.¡± The penetrating power of the divine light of the yin and yang was astonishing, and its speed was extremely fast. It was impossible to dodge. With just one strike, the golden armor on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body was pierced, and blood began to flow out. Furthermore, if he had not dodged in time, Lin Mo¡¯s attack would have been enough to injure him seriously. Even so, he was forced to withdraw from the Golden Immortal Body, and his body returned to its original size. There was a hideous wound on his arm, and there were still remnants of Yin Yang Dao Law remaining on it. ¡°Huh? What a strong defense. This must be at least a Level 8 Heaven-class defensive magic weapon. Lin Mo was shocked. Even after taking on his Chaotic Point of Yin and Yang in the Kun Peng state, what he ended up with could not even be considered a light injury. It was just a superficial wound. ¡°Swish!¡± Although he was surprised, Lin Mo¡¯s attack was not slow. He flapped his Kun Peng wings and arrived in front of Gongsun Wenhao in an instant. He took nine steps forward, and purple light filled the air. The Nine Qilin Steps were instantly activated, which he used to attack Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s Spirit Devouring Art was activated, and the Abyssal Devouring was used again. This time, the range was not large, and only Gongsun Wenhao was enveloped within. The effect of reducing the area was also very obvious. The symbols on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s armor instantly dimmed. More than half of the spiritual qi on it had been devoured, and there was no time to replenish it. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s martial arts had been interrupted by the devouring of spiritual qi, so he had to swing his blade to fight Lin Mo. ¡°Bang!¡± The two of them collided, and the bone blade was sent flying. Lin Mo seized the opportunity to attack, and his strength increased sharply. ¡°Pfft.¡± Although Gongsun Wenhao managed to dodge in time and avoid getting hit in the head, his chest was still kicked by Lin Mo. One could imagine the power of the Nine Qilin Steps. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying a thousand meters away. In the short confrontation, Gongsun Wenhao suffered a big loss as he took a hit from the Nine Qilin Steps¡±. The surroundings trembled, and everyone¡¯s expressions changed. The God Devouring Body was too powerful. He wasn¡¯t a King tier, but he was capable of fighting against Gongsun Wenhao, who had comprehended the Eye of Martial Arts. Furthermore, he had the upper hand. What a terrifying combat strength. Lin Mo was a little surprised as he looked at the other party. That armor was really strong and had a very high defense. He had taken a direct hit from him and was slightly injured, but it was not a serious injury and he was still able to use his peak combat strength. ¡°The Golden Immortal Body reappears.¡± ¡°Overlord blade¡¯s heavenly might!¡± Gongsun Wenhao took the initiative to attack. After finding out why he was at a disadvantage, he disregarded the amount of the consumption of spiritual qi to mobilize several times more spiritual qi to activate it. It was obvious that he had used his trump card, and the martial art he was using had to be extremely powerful. The bone blade in his hand shone brightly as Gongsun Wenhao formed a seal with one hand, and a vague shadow condensed in front of him. Each of them was holding a bone blade and looked like a god of war who could suppress everything in the world. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo did not show any weakness either. He transformed into the Kun Peng and the Abyssal Devouring swallowed the sea and rivers, nourishing it with endless spiritual qi. The Kun Peng wings glowed with black and white light, as they contained the power of yin and yang. This was the Kun Peng Divine Light, an ability that he had comprehended before. After a year of closed-door training, he had a deeper understanding of this move. In addition to the Yin Yang Taiji Diagram that appeared in front of him, he used the Chaotic Point Yin and Yang. The two strongest martial arts were unleashed at full force. ¡°BOOM!¡± This time, the collision could be said to be destructive. The Ying Yang Dao Law and the saber intent continued to resist each other, and the golden light continued to spread. The shadows were obliterated one after another, and the Yin Yang Divine Light gradually weakened. The earth trembled and runes filled the heavens and earth. Even the shattered space and the endless void were filled with runes. ¡°Bang!¡± A violent explosion spread, and two figures were sent flying. Lin Mo staggered back, blood flowing out of his mouth and nose. He had suffered internal injuries from the terrifying attack. Countless people in the distance were shocked. The entire place was silent, and no one dared to say anything. The harmony of yin and yang, the combination of strength and gentleness. This is not a simple fusion of extreme yin and extreme yang¡­ Standing in the void, Lin Mo realized that the Kun Peng Art could be used in this way. Facing Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s overbearing attack, it was very difficult for pure extreme yin and extreme yang to resist. After all, his realm was low. ¡°Yin and yang are in harmony, mutual promotion and mutual restraint¡­¡± As he muttered to himself, a thought seemed to come to Lin Mo¡¯s mind, and his eyes gradually became clearer. In that instant of enlightenment, the Yin Yang Dao Law in Lin Mo¡¯s energy center appeared. He was developing the Kun Peng Spell Art and a new martial art was about to be born¡­ ¡°Hehe, even if you¡¯re able to control the Kun Peng Art, you can¡¯t make up for the difference in our cultivation levels. It¡¯s time to end this,¡± roared Gongsun Wenhao. He still had an even more powerful killing move that he had not used. However, using this move would consume his own life force. He would not use it unless he had no other choice. Lin Mo remained calm and composed. This moment of enlightenment allowed him to comprehend a new martial art from the Kun Peng Art. ¡°Boom¡­¡± An extremely yang and unyielding power appeared. At this moment, Lin Mo seemed to have transformed into a huge sun, bright and dazzling. He seemed to be standing between heaven and earth, striking the sky above and stepping down on the nine nethers below. He was like an unparalleled divine king who could suppress everything in the world. ¡°Extreme yin and extreme yang, hard and soft at the same time.¡± As he muttered to himself, the blood in his body began to boil, and a loud boom erupted. The two forces continued to merge, and it was many times stronger than before. ¡°The name of this skill is Sun and Moon in the Same Sky.¡± Chapter 718 - 718 Defeating Gongsun Wenhao 718 Defeating Gongsun Wenhao A black and white light covered his palm. Lin Mo stepped forward and struck out with his palm, causing the wind and clouds to change. ¡°BOOM!¡± Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s Golden Immortal Body was broken through in an instant. The golden patterns scattered, and his armor was pierced. ¡°Pfft.¡± He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. The sound of his bones breaking could be heard. ¡°How is this possible? You¡¯re not even at the King tier, so how can your comprehension of laws be so deep?¡± Gongsun Wenhao roared, his heart filled with unwillingness. At this moment, his hair was disheveled and his body was covered in blood. He no longer had the invincible appearance he had before. The yin and yang in Lin Mo¡¯s body were balanced and blended together. His comprehension was even more thorough. The two different runes condensed and transformed continuously, erupting with terrifying power. He stretched out his hand again and ruthlessly slapped Gongsun Wenhao. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body was in a bloody mess and there was not a single piece of flesh that was intact. ¡°I¡¯m not willing to accept this¡­¡± With great difficulty, Gongsun Wenhao crawled up. His body was covered with the Yin Yang Dao Law, which was attacking his body. The power of extreme yin eroded his spiritual energy, while the power of extreme yang suppressed him and obliterated the vitality in his body. This scene struck fear into the hearts of all living beings. Lin Mo¡¯s ability to learn the Kun Peng Art and control the Yin Yang Dao Law was something that many envied. His comprehension was becoming deeper and deeper now. He wasn¡¯t even at the King tier yet, but his comprehension of laws was almost on par with some Quasi-Saints. ¡°Lin Mo, I want you to pay with your life.¡± When the Yin Yang Dao Law disappeared from his body, Gongsun Wenhao roared, and a dark golden light bloomed from his body. Immediately after, his body continued to expand. The spiritual qi in his body was so chaotic that he was about to explode. Many people around them fled, not daring to stay there any longer. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s actions were too obvious. He wanted them to die together. If he was to be the only one to self-destruct, it wouldn¡¯t affect such a large area. However, he had two extremely powerful magic weapons on him. One of them was even at Level 9 Heaven-class, and it would be easier said than done to block it. ¡°You want to drag me along? Are you dreaming?¡± Lin Mo sneered. With the end of ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky¡±, his strongest attack had also disappeared. However, when faced with the dying Gongsun Wenhao, he was confident that he could kill him in an instant. Facing the self-destruction, he pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head, not taking any action to stop it immediately. He did not escape the center of the explosion like the others. On the contrary, he was flying towards Gongsun Wenhao. He wasn¡¯t going too fast, but he was not slow either. ¡°You will pay for your arrogance.¡± There was a crazed expression on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face. The bone blade in his hand had already cracked, and violent energy was gathering. The armor on his body was on the verge of collapse and was about to explode. The self-destruction of two Supreme treasures and a King tier couldn¡¯t be underestimated. Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn¡¯t dare to come to the center of the explosion. However, Lin Mo did the opposite. He approached Gongsun Wenhao and attacked. However, after using the ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky¡±, the spiritual qi in his body was seriously depleted. Even with the endless spiritual qi provided by the Abyssal Devouring, too much of his spiritual qi had been consumed. ¡°You¡¯ve lost. You can¡¯t kill me and yu can¡¯t live.¡± When Gongsun Wenhao saw Lin Mo¡¯s state, he became like a mad demon, and the suppressed spiritual qi in his body became more and more violent. Lin Mo was completely unbothered. The Demon War Spear cut off Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s left arm and took the storage ring from his hand. ¡°BOOM!¡± A terrifying explosion swept out, instantly overpowering Lin Mo. The mountains and rivers turned into dust and disappeared. Countless creatures were so shocked that it was a long time before they could calm down. This battle that was worthy of being recorded in history had finally ended. Anyone with eyes could see that Gongsun Wenhao had lost, but Lin Mo had also died in the self-explosion in order to seize Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s storage ring. ¡°Haha, that¡¯s great. The human race has lost two masters, and one of them is a God Devouring Body¡­¡± Some beings of other races laughed at the thought that it was a good thing for humans to fight among themselves. The only thing they were not satisfied with was that these two people were not really dead. They had only lost a great opportunity. In the future, the cultivation base would fall a lot, and there would be regrets, which would easily breed inner demons¡­ However, there were still quite a few living beings who were feeling regretful, and their eyes were filled with confusion. They had all seen clearly that Gongsun Wenhao wanted them both to perish together, so why had Lin Mo still chosen to charge forward? ¡°Why else? He¡¯s just a wandering cultivator. Of course, he would covet the resources of the Gongsun family,¡± said a centaur disdainfully. It felt that Lin Mo deserved to die because he could not resist the temptation. ¡°No, look, what¡¯s that?¡± Someone had suddenly pointed at the center of the explosion where a golden figure was floating. The light shadow stood in mid-air, and a powerful force surrounded it. It was a spiritual body with a seal between its eyebrows, which was repairing its damaged body. ¡°It¡¯s Gongsun Wenhao¡­¡± All of the living beings were shocked, and their faces were filled with disbelief. Hadn¡¯t he self-destructed? The self-destruction of his body and the two powerful magical weapons had destroyed the mountains and rivers within a radius of ten thousand miles. Even Lin Mo had turned into ashes, but he was still here¡­ ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Gongsun Wenhao laughed loudly after sensing his surroundings and making sure that Lin Mo¡¯s aura had disappeared. His physical body was still in the process of being restored. Even though it had been destroyed once, he would still be able to recover after a period of rest. The only unfortunate thing was that the Kun Peng Art technique seemed to have been lost. This was what everyone was thinking. It was a pity that it was a Supreme inheritance that could allow people to dominate a region. ¡°.. I see¡­¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s voice rang out in the quiet space, shocking Gongsun Wenhao, who was recovering. ¡°It¡¯s a talisman that¡¯s similar to a protective talisman, right? It can protect one¡¯s soul and withstand a fatal attack¡­¡± A strange spatial fluctuation appeared, and Lin Mo walked out quietly with a faint smile on his face. He had already recovered to his peak. After obtaining Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s storage ring, he had entered the system space. In the past, he had not known that the system space could allow his main body to enter. It was also with this move that he dodged the most fatal explosion and even recovered his energy in the Fire Spirit Lake. As long as there was enough spiritual qi, the God Devouring Body could recover in almost an instant. At this moment, Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s defeat was already set in stone. There was no turning back. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t really kill you¡­¡± said Lin Mo as he shook his head in regret. As he spoke, he arrived in front of Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s spirit body and stabbed with the War Demon Spear, instantly destroying Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s recultivated body. The other party roared in anger. The spirit body wanted to attack, but it was unable to turn the situation around. Its weak soul was then taken away. With that, the number one master of Yunzhou, Gongsun Wenhao, was eliminated and he lost the resources of the ancient battlefield. The spectators were all silent as they looked at Lin Mo. From the opening of the ancient battlefield until now, the first person from the Top 20 of the Hidden Dragon List had finally been eliminated. After a long silence, the crowd was in an uproar. Xia You had been suppressing Teng Feng for a long time. When she saw that Lin Mo had finished his battle, she finally used the Heaven¡¯s Will Body that had been silent all this time. A terrifying law erupted, and strands of a myriad of qi appeared. Xia You slashed out with her sword. The terrifying power even stirred the void and caused a spatial storm. Teng Feng was also annihilated by the endless sword light, and a trace of his soul was taken away by the jade talisman. Chapter 719 - 719 The Fire Token 719 The Fire Token After the second master that appeared had been eliminated, all the creatures went silent at the appearance of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body. The human race was about to rise. If the two of them matured even further, the human race would have a place in history in the next millions of years¡­ ¡°He won! The God Devouring Body and the Heaven¡¯s Will Body won!¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that these two people are from the Eastern Continent. I thought that cultivation is not allowed there?¡± The whole place was in an uproar, and some even forgot that they had come to this island to search for treasure. ¡°Your master is dead. Do you still want to escape?¡± Lin Mo looked into the distance and saw a group of people who were in the midst of building a teleportation formation in an attempt to escape. However, Lin Mo¡¯s soul was sharp, and he destroyed the teleportation formation with one strike. With the use of his War Demon Spear, the shadows from the spear completely annihilated the people of the two families. With a wave of his hand, over a dozen storage rings flew up and landed in his hand. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being hunted down when you leave this place after such a ruthless attack?¡± Xia You said, laughing lightly as she walked over. She ascended through the ranks and finally moved to the Central Continent. She had been fortunate enough to join a great faction, and the entire Divine Secrets Holy Land had already settled down, with a very good cultivation environment. Lin Mo, on the other hand, had come alone without a strong backer. Furthermore, he had a Qilin by his side. It could be said that the entire Northern Continent was Lin Mo¡¯s enemy¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the same whether I kill him or not.¡± Lin Mo, who was well aware of his own condition, did not care. He knew he was not going to die unless there was a great emperor in the Northern Continent. Compared to this, he was more interested in the spoils of war. Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s storage ring contained a lot of good stuff. There were more than a dozen godly medicines and even Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°There are 100000 best-grade spiritual stones in total. These are cultivation resources that only quasi-saints can use. How long has the ancient battlefield been open? ¡± ¡°Hey, what¡¯s this token for?¡± With some doubt, Lin Mo stored it in the system space for appraisal. [ The Fire Token. The holder of the secondary token can enter the fire door of the five elements Yin Yang formation. If one is lucky enough, one can use this to obtain the most precious treasure in the formation eye. ] ¡°What kind of treasure is it?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. This could be said to be a key to a treasure vault. [ This fire badge contains the aura of the Floating Flame Flag, a primordial spiritual treasure of the primeval world. ] With the system¡¯s reply, Lin Mo felt more certain. The eye of the formation had to be the Floating Flame Flag, one of the primordial flags of the five regions, which was a primordial spiritual treasure in the untainted world. He had not expected to find one in this world. He just didn¡¯t know if it was stronger or weaker than the Emperor-level magical weapons from ancient times. ¡°Whoosh!¡± Suddenly, a long sword stained with blood pierced through the air, just as Lin Mo was rejoicing. The illusionary shadow of the long sword was so heavy that it was hard to see it clearly. With the shifting of position, it stabbed toward the area between Lin Mo¡¯s eyebrows. It was a very powerful magical weapon. Its aura alone was not much weaker than the War Demon Spear. The yin qi that it emitted made everyone shiver. It was a pity that Lin Mo had the Kun Peng Art and was the fastest among his peers. The long sword had only struck the afterimage that Lin Mo had left behind. ¡°They actually chased us all the way here. A bunch of bugs that only know how to hide in the dark,¡± said Xia You, who was the first to react. The smile on her face disappeared as she slashed out with her sword, tearing open the space. ¡°Slash!¡± Having missed his mark with his attack, the figure tried to escape. Xia You followed him into the void and began to fight. ¡°BOOM!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body was illusionary. He quickly arrived at the top of a mountain with just a few flashes and shattered the space with the palm of his hand. ¡°Pfft.¡± A muffled groan was heard, and a few droplets of blood scattered in the air. Xia You walked out of the void, shaking her head as she looked at Lin Mo. Her opponent had been very decisive. After his attack had failed, he had reacted decisively without stopping at all. Seeing that Lin Mo still wanted to give chase, Xia You hurriedly stopped him, saying, ¡°Those people are from the Central Continent, a killer organization that moves in the dark. ¡°No one knows the name of their organization or even their specific strength.¡± There was no doubt that the people from the Central Continent had come here for him. After all, there were also many people who wanted her dead. Even within her faction, there were many people who wanted to assassinate her. ¡°That person¡¯s strength is at least at the Seventh Heavenly layer of the King realm. How did he cultivate so quickly?¡± Lin Mo frowned. There were some secret skills that could increase one¡¯s cultivation quickly and tap into one¡¯s potential to a great extent. However, these secret skills all had a flaw, which was that they damaged the foundation. If he really used it, he would only be able to reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the King realm in his lifetime. He wouldn¡¯t be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Only by taking an extremely rare immortal pill or immortal medicine would they have a chance of survival. ¡°The people from that organization are crazy. When I came to the Northern Continent, they sent out Quasi-Saints to kill me. ¡°In order to pursue and kill them, these people severed their cultivation levels and searched for opportunities in there to start over.¡± Xia You shook her head. This kind of crazy behavior puzzled her. What kind of benefits did these people receive? They were even willing to cut off their own cultivation realm just to kill her¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s explore this Island first. I want to obtain the opportunity to break through to the King tier here,¡± said Lin Mo. He could feel that it would be extremely difficult for him to break through to the King tier. Even if he swallowed the 100000 best-grade spiritual stones he had just obtained, he still might not be able to make a breakthrough. ¡°Oh.¡± He walked into the depths of the island. Not long after, formation patterns appeared one after another, and the formation inside began to activate. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo and the others were about to step forward, but they realized that the formation was not blocking them. Instead, it was protecting the land. ¡°Is it to prevent it from being destroyed?¡± Mao Zhu asked curiously. Along the way, with the presence of Lin Mo, Xia You, and Mu Yuzhu, there was no danger that could stop them. As a result, a large group of people followed behind the group. They knew that Lin Mo and the others would not pay attention to them, so they followed them from a distance, as they tried to sneak into the deepest part of the forest. There were also entrances in other places where many people entered the island. However, there was no doubt that this path was the safest because there were three great gods up ahead. As soon as Lin Mo and the others entered the formation, they felt an unusually dense spiritual energy. A seven-colored light flickered, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants grew around the path. These were all spiritual herbs. It was also not of a low grade, having already reached the earth grade. The members of this small group felt relaxed. This was a very comfortable feeling. Cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort. ¡°Ah¡­¡± However, just as they were about to relax, they heard the screams of living beings not far away. A five-colored divine light spread out and cut through a cultivator who had just sneaked in in half. The divine light bloomed and destroyed his soul. This was extremely horrifying. ¡°Help!¡± Someone else screamed. A few people walked into the formation and touched the five-colored divine light, directly being killed. Even Lin Mo and the others were being attacked. The five-colored divine radiance was extremely terrifying. If they were to take it head-on, even a Quasi-Saint would die. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Mo immediately protected the three of them and led them away from the divine light. ¡°How terrifying! What is this thing?¡± Song Lianxue¡¯s face turned pale. This place looked like a paradise, but it was actually very terrifying. ¡°Over the years, the rules here have affected the Wind Spirit Sect, and the formation has changed as well.¡± Xia You sighed lightly, as she saw through the clues. Chapter 720 - 720 Deep In 720 Deep In After all, this was still a historical site. It was extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could cost them their lives. The group of people advanced carefully, keeping their guard up. After seeing the divine light that even a Quasi-Saint could not block, many people chose to retreat. This was not a place they could explore. They did not have the keen soul perception of Lin Mo and the others. However, there were still some bold and skilled people who continued to follow Lin Mo and his group from a distance. Lin Mo was completely unbothered by this. They eventually arrived at a swamp that was filled with a rancid smell. There were more than a dozen fifth Sky King demonic beasts with their bloodied mouths wide open, ready to cause them trouble. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. There¡¯s actually such a treasure in the center of the swamp,¡± Xia You said in surprise. They quickly took care of a demonic crocodile and retrieved its inner core. After coming to the depths, they found that there was a Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, and it was not of a low grade. ¡°It¡¯s not any worse than the one we ate,¡± said Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue. ¡°Eh, is the Qilin here?¡± Suddenly, Xia You turned around and looked at Lin Mo¡¯s waist. She could feel a wave of life energy there. In the next moment, a Qilin egg that glowed with a purple light flew out of the universe bag on Lin Mo¡¯s waist. When the Qilin mark appeared, the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus was drawn by it and showed signs of melting. ¡°What else do you need besides this?¡± Lin Mo asked hurriedly as he took out all the divine medicine that he had taken away from others and stored in the system space. These things had been part of Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s collection. He had originally planned to auction them. However, as long as the Qilin needed it, he didn¡¯t mind feeding her all of it. It was fine as long as this little girl grew up smoothly. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± As if it was responding to Lin Mo, the Qilin egg began to shake. A ray of light flickered and attracted the three divine medicines. These were three Level 3 Heaven-class divine herbs, the highest grade among them. In addition to the Level 5 Heaven-class Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, a huge amount of spiritual qi gathered and integrated into the Qilin egg. However, the Qilin did not wake up as expected. She remained in a deep sleep, and the Qilin egg flew back into the storage bag, covering all its qi activity and making it impossible to check on her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, let¡¯s just say I¡¯m accountable for taking this divine medicine.¡± Lin Mo looked at Mu Yuzhu and Xia You. The three of them were working together with him, not with him as the leader. He had taken advantage of them this time. ¡°If you lack resources, you can take my share,¡± said Xia You as she shook her head. She had a lot of divine medicine and spiritual stones with her, which had been given to her by the elders of the sect before she left. She could tell from the ancient books how much the God Devouring Body lacked resources. In addition, Lin Mo had been collecting spiritual stones like crazy ever since he was born. The Lin family¡¯s auction, the Purple Moon Palace, the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡­ ¡°How can you do that? You¡­¡± Lin Mo merely shook his head. Unexpectedly, Xia You stopped him by saying, ¡°You should hurry up and become stronger. Don¡¯t fall too far behind me¡­¡± As she said this, she had a slightly strange expression on her face. She looked at Lin Mo and chuckled as she shook her head. ¡°What are you hiding from me?¡± Lin Mo asked. However, he didn¡¯t get an answer. All he got was a sentence, a sentence that made him grit his teeth¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll tell you if you win¡­¡± These words made Lin Mo gnash his teeth with frustration, wishing he could suppress her on the spot. However, he also knew that unless he broke through to the King tier, he would not be Xia You¡¯s match. Although the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body were both the strongest body types, the God Devouring body was only really terrifying in its later stages¡­ In the early stages, it only brought him some convenience in fighting. Other than that, it brought him endless trouble¡­ ¡°The fire elements in front of us are increasing. It looks like a volcano¡­¡± After walking for a while, Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue spoke at the same time as they sensed the abnormality ahead. ¡°Not only that, the escape route seems to have been cut off¡­¡± said Lin Mo. He gestured for everyone to look behind them. Behind them, the swamp had been completely destroyed. Beams of five-colored divine light appeared, densely packed, and blocked all the escape routes. The group of people frowned. There was no way to retreat. If the road ahead was blocked, they were afraid that something would happen. ¡°Roar!¡± With a series of roars, there was a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy in front of them. The small group flew forward. They soon discovered that there was a huge volcano in front of them, and the battle was at the top of the mountain. When they flew up, they couldn¡¯t help but be shocked because the demonic beasts that were fighting immediately pounced on them upon seeing them. ¡°Fire Lizards, a demonic beast that lives in groups. Its realm isn¡¯t high,¡± said Feng Tian as he tried to determine the species of these demonic beasts. However, just as he finished speaking, a lizard lunged at him. ¡°No, these fire lizards have mutated. They¡¯re at a very high level¡­¡± He immediately responded in shock. The weakest of the fire lizards here was a fifth-level King and there were over a hundred of them here. At this moment, all the people in their small group were united against a common enemy that wanted to surround and kill everyone. ¡°There must be a Supreme fire-based treasure at the bottom of this volcano,¡± said Lin Mo. These fire lizards would not mutate for no reason. ¡°BOOM!¡± The fire lizard group was a pack of demonic beasts that excelled at surrounding and killing, but Lin Mo, Xia You, Mu Yuzhu and the others took action. However, even if they didn¡¯t cooperate, they would still be able to defeat the army of fire lizards. In less than ten minutes, the lava lake had turned red. ¡°They don¡¯t have inner cores, and even their souls are very weak.¡± Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue declared that they would be in charge of cleaning up the battlefield and counting the spoils of war, but they found nothing. ¡°There¡¯s a formation here. Break it and you¡¯ll see the treasure,¡± said Xia You as she made a move, shattering a spatial node with a single palm strike. Lin Mo and Mu Yuzhu had also shattered several other parts of the volcano, causing the entire volcano to begin to shake and show faint signs of an eruption. ¡°Here we go¡­¡± Lin Mo was looking forward to it. What kind of treasure would it be this time? At the mouth of the volcano, a stone platform slowly emerged from the magma. On the stone platform, some strange vines were planted. There were some fruits with flames burning on them. There were many fruits, but only the three at the front were considered ripe. The fire element in them was the most dense. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen this kind of divine fruit before. What is it?¡± Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue looked at Lin Mo. They knew that Lin Mo¡¯s appraisal skills were extraordinary, so they looked to him for his help. ¡°Let me take a look¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and plucked the three ripe fruits before storing them in the system space. [ Mutated Fire Spirit Fruit, Heaven realm Level 4. The fire element within is too dense, only immortal Dao divine fire can refine it. ] [ Without the Immortal Dao¡¯s flames, if one is forced to consume it, the soul will adhere to the fire poison, causing one¡¯s intelligence to be obliterated. ] Upon hearing this, Lin Mo understood. These fire lizards had eaten this kind of divine fruit, which was why they had become violent and often fought among themselves. However, their instincts had driven them to live in groups and eat fruits, which led to the current situation¡­ ¡°This is a Mutated Fire Spirit Fruit,¡± said Lin Mo as he told them others about the fruit. When they heard that they needed Immortal Dao flames to refine it, Xia You and Mu Yuzhu frowned at the same time. They didn¡¯t have any Immortal Dao flames. Besides, the fruit wasn¡¯t the most suitable for them¡­ ¡°We can cultivate it,¡± said Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue as a wisp of flame appeared in their hands. That was the Nirvana Phoenix Fire, the flame of the Immortal Dao. After it was completely activated, it could burn mountains and boil seas with just a wave of the hand¡­ ¡°This time, it¡¯s mine and the next treasure will be for Miss Mu.¡± Xia You requested for the Fire Spirit Fruit to be given to Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu. Chapter 721 - 721 The Jade Key 721 The Jade Key ¡°Unfortunately, this thing has too many limitations and can¡¯t be sold¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed in his heart. After all, it was a Heaven-class Level 5 divine fruit, so the rebate treasures from the auction had to be very precious. After picking the divine fruit, Lin Mo did not touch the vines rashly, letting them grow naturally instead. The group continued to venture deeper, passing through the volcano before finally entering a dark forest. There were countless mechanisms inside, with terrifying powers. Even though Lin Mo had been protecting Feng Tian and the other two the entire time, Song Lianxue had still gotten injured and almost killed by a trap. ¡°Is this a test? With so many dangers here, will there even be any treasures after we pass through the area?¡± Xia You asked curiously. After passing through the forest, they found a sharp sword placed at the end. It was a Heaven-class Level 7 magic weapon and was extremely precious. According to what they had agreed on, this sharp sword was given to Mu Yuzhu. However, she had an even better weapon. In the past, in the Kun Peng Nest, she had obtained a folding fan and used it very smoothly. Therefore, he gave the sword to Su Qing, so that he could protect himself. The road ahead was still dangerous. They had stepped into a terrifying killing formation. The brilliant sword light pressed down, as it tried to obliterate everyone. After joining forces to resist and break through, they finally passed though the area. Just like that, they went deeper into the island. Along the way, they encountered various obstacles, but their gains were also extremely rich. After passing through more than a dozen obstacles in succession, each one had brought them great trouble. When they passed the 18th obstacle, even Lin Mo and the other two were panting. They felt that it was too difficult. Who had designed the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s test in such a way that it would be so difficult? This was probably a test to select the positions of a Saint or senior brother. The number of people who could pass it could probably only be counted on one hand. ¡°We¡¯ve reached the end. This is the core of the island.¡± In front of them, a grand hall appeared and they walked out of a killing formation. The reward this time was very mysterious. It was a key. It was made of a special type of jade and felt cool to the touch. ¡°What is this key to?¡± Xia You asked. She did not see anything unusual. If it had not been so hard to come by, she would have thought that it was just an ordinary key¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll appraise it.¡± Taking the key, Lin Mo kept it in the system space and waited for a response. [ This is a key that has been cultivated by the sect master of the Wind Spirit Sect. It can form a protective barrier that will last for an hour. ] [ When the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s strongest killing formation is activated, the protective barrier will automatically appear. ] Lin Mo was confused by this strange sentence. This was the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s strongest killing formation. If it was really activated, could this simplified key really protect them? ¡°No matter what, this key will be of use. You should keep it well,¡± Xia you said with a nod of her head. Perhaps this key would eventually play a crucial role¡­ The small group walked forward and came to the front of this grand hall. They soon came to a tightly locked bronze door. There was a special formation protecting it, making it impossible to open. ¡°Let¡¯s try using the key,¡± said Mu Yuzhu. Lin Mo nodded and took out the jade key. He tried to activate it with his spiritual qi but failed. There was no keyhole on the bronze door, so it was useless to approach it with a key. It had been sealed by a powerful formation that didn¡¯t allow anyone to enter. ¡°Is this really where the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect ends?¡± Mu Yuzhu felt a little unwilling. She had yet to obtain the rumored great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture, and the true inheritance of the Wind Spirit Sect had yet to appear. There was a formation blocking them, preventing them from advancing, but also preventing them from retreating. This was because the five-colored divine radiance was blocking the path behind them. Ordinary people would only die if they stepped inside. ¡°There¡¯s no way out. We can only continue forward¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned, but there was no path ahead. Were they going to be trapped to death like this? If that was the case, it would be too ironic. ¡°Swish!¡± Suddenly, special runes flickered on the bronze door in front of them, and wisps of immortal qi spread out. ¡°This is the great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture¡­¡± Xia You was shocked. She was the most sensitive to Dao laws, and she immediately sensed the scriptures on the bronze door. She was sure that there was an ancient scripture hidden in this magnificent hall. It was even possible that the scriptures had been inscribed onto the bronze door. ¡°It¡¯s best to be careful,¡± said Lin Mo. When the others heard this, they all became more alert and began to observe their surroundings. There were so many dangers along the way. There was no reason for this place to be so quiet. Caution was the parent of safety¡­ They spread out and checked the surroundings. They walked one round around the hall and finally returned to the bronze door. He was certain that this door was the only entrance. However, it had been sealed off, and the surroundings were covered by formation patterns. The only exit was the way they came from. However, they knew that there was no way out. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try to comprehend it while I scout the path for you?¡± Feng Tian suggested, taking the initiative to test the waters. He would let Lin Mo and the other two observe him while protecting him. If there was no danger, they would be able to comprehend it together. That was the only thing he could do at the moment. Feng Tian sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the scriptures on the bronze door. Very quickly, he went into a trance and fell into a deep level of the cultivation process. Outside the door, wisps of special runes appeared and covered Feng Tian. Everyone felt a chill. These runes contained a killing intent. ¡°Oh.¡± Lin Mo immediately made a move and devoured the power to protect Feng Tian. Feng Tian also stopped his cultivation process and looked at Lin Mo and the others in confusion. ¡°What do you feel?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s very profound. I only saw the first line of the scripture. Just as I was about to comprehend it, another force seeped in,¡± said Feng Tian. It was that power that had swallowed the scripture and forced him out of his cultivation state. ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡± Xia You frowned. If it was a test, then it would be a bit too much. He had to comprehend the Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture while blocking the attacks. Even the most talented heaven¡¯s pride expert wouldn¡¯t be able to do it. ¡°Let me try. You guys protect me.¡± Lin Mo stepped forward and took Feng Tian¡¯s place, sitting cross-legged. ¡°Isn¡¯t it too risky? Besides, you don¡¯t need the great Emperor ancient scripture, do you?¡± Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue were a little worried. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll open the way for you,¡± said Lin Mo as he shook his head. He stepped forward, confident in himself. If this was really a test, then he was confident that he could pass it. Be it his physical body or his soul, they had been cultivated to its peak. He was confident that he could block those attacks. Just like Feng Tian, a powerful rune appeared and attacked Lin Mo. ¡°BOOM!¡± The powerful force struck Lin Mo¡¯s body, leaving a bloody gash on his chest. ¡°What a powerful physical body, what a terrifying attack¡­¡± Mao Zhu and the others exclaimed. Lin Mo withstood the attack, and a scripture appeared in his mind for him to comprehend. ¡°It¡¯s here again. Why is it so fast¡­¡± said Song Lianxue as she looked at the bronze door in shock. ¡°It¡¯s because he comprehended it very quickly¡­¡± Xia You frowned as she looked at Lin Mo, a little worriedly. Chapter 722 - 722 Risking Death to Try 722 Risking Death to Try ¡°BOOM!¡± At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes and retreated. He then shouted, ¡°Quickly retreat!¡± Everyone was shocked and quickly moved back. Lin Mo brought up the rear, and a dozen scriptures exploded, filling the air with an Immortal Dao aura. Even though his physical body was strong, he was still injured by the explosion. There were many wounds on his body, and blood began spurting out. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Everyone was shocked. Was there any opportunity left for them? As the dust settled, Lin Mo looked forward and saw that the bronze gate had already opened. The formation above had been blown up, and the door was now open. They could continue further in. However, the way he had opened the door had been extremely dangerous. If Lin Mo had not been so alert as to discover the abnormality in time, Su Qing, Mao Zhu, and the rest would have been severely injured. Some people might have even lost their lives¡­ Lin Mo consumed a demigod fruit and circulated the God Devouring Technique to quickly refine the medicinal power. The injuries on his body recovered at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. As the small group walked into the great hall together, a burst of bright light flickered, and they felt the fluctuation of space. He felt as if he was standing on solid ground. The surroundings were noisy from the many discussions around. ¡°How could this be¡­¡± Feng Tian was shocked. He looked around and saw many people sitting cross-legged in the hall. They attracted a lot of attention when they walked in. ¡°Did these people all pass the test?¡± Lin Mo was in disbelief, as he could see that many people who were there were not even King tiers. With insufficient combat strength and talent, how could such a person pass the 18 life-or-death tests? ¡°It¡¯s the God Devouring Physique, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, and Mu Yuzhu. They¡¯ve come out from the gate of death¡­¡± Countless people in the hall cried out in alarm. Some of them were extremely excited and shouted that they had been saved¡­ ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Mo asked as he grabbed a person who was about to leave. The expression on the man¡¯s face was filled with gratitude. Without hiding anything, he immediately told them what he knew. It turned out that there were many people who had entered the island, but not many people had been able to make it to the hall. Furthermore, the way they had entered had been different from Lin Mo and the rest of his group. Lin Mo and the others had passed through 18 Life-and-Death Trials before finally breaking through the Gate of Death. This was because the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s formation had long since decayed. Many parts of it were broken and had been corroded by the power of time. They had taken advantage of a loophole and had been teleported here without going through the test. However, the gate of death had yet to open. It could be said that everyone was trapped here, unless someone could break the Gate of Death. Originally, everyone had been in despair because the Gate of Death was too dangerous. Who would have thought that in less than a day, Lin Mo and the others would break through the Gate of Death and walk in? ¡°Wait, what kind of opportunities are here?¡± Xia You had suddenly spoken, but it was already too late, as half of the people had already left. Some of them had more or less taken away some opportunities, and there was even the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture that they had been looking for this whole time¡­ ¡°We didn¡¯t get any good fortune.¡± Some people raised their hands in surrender, expressing their willingness to let Lin Mo and the others check their storage rings to prove their innocence. Lin Mo did not make things difficult for them. After a glance, he let them leave. ¡°Wait, isn¡¯t that path impassable?¡± Mao Zhu was puzzled. After all, they had entered this place because they had not been able to leave. ¡°Boom¡­¡± At that moment, the hall trembled as an extremely terrifying aura spread. An ice-cold killing intent permeated the surroundings, causing one¡¯s body to shiver. ¡°The strongest killing formation has been activated.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words shocked the others in his group, and they quickly came to Lin Mo¡¯s side. He took out the jade key, and a layer of protective barrier protected them. It also isolated them from the cold killing intent. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Some of the living beings that were still in the hall were killed by the killing formation. The formation patterns appeared, and the terrifying power seemed to want to crush everything and kill hundreds of living beings. In just an instant¡­ ¡°What a terrifying killing formation¡­¡± The small group of people was shocked and worried. It wasn¡¯t clear whether the jade key¡¯s barrier could hold on. If it broke, all of them would be turned into ashes¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Mo, there¡¯s an auspicious sign in the center of the killing formation.¡± All of a sudden, a secret voice transmission rang in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. It was the voice of the Qilin. Although she was in seclusion, she could still sense the outside world. Now that he sensed that a great opportunity was about to appear, she had sent a voice transmission to Lin Mo. ¡°You guys, go hide in my small world for a while.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Mo said as he sent Mao Zhu and the others in. Under the barrier, only he, Xia You, and Mu Yuzhu were left. ¡°There¡¯s only half an hour. What do you plan to do?¡± Xia You asked. The only thing they could do now was to leave. Otherwise, if the barrier was broken, they would all die here. There¡¯s a high possibility that the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture is in the center of the killing formation¡­¡± said Lin Mo. Such a treasure was very rare. Although it was not of much use to him, he would be able to obtain more precious items after the auction. He would also be able to obtain a generous amount of resources. This was very tempting to him, and he wanted to take a risk. ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous. If we get kicked out of the ancient battlefield because of this, we¡¯ll suffer a huge loss,¡± said Mu Yuzhu as she shook her head. None of the three of them really relied on the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. The God Devouring Body and the Heaven¡¯s Will Body were born with the most suitable cultivation techniques. The Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture was for them to study and learn from, laying the foundation for their future cultivation. As for her, her family had a cultivation technique that had always been used. She would inherit it in the future, so she didn¡¯t have much need for the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. ¡°I want to try¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly spoke, wanting to take a risk. ¡°You¡¯re crazy,¡± Xia You hurriedly said, as she tried to stop Lin Mo. ¡°Since it¡¯s a test set by the Wind Spirit Sect, there must be a chance. I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± Lin Mo smiled confidently and passed the bag on his waist to Xia You. Inside the spatial bag was the Qilin egg. That meant that if anything happened to Lin Mo, Xia You would have to take care of the Qilin. Since the two of them came from the same place, he was still very willing to trust the other person. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± Just then, the spatial bag trembled slightly. The Qilin transmitted a strange emotion, hoping that Lin Mo would not be in danger. ¡°Trust me, please bless them so that they can escape.¡± He patted his spatial bag and released Mao Zhu and the other three from the small world. He used the jade key to escort them to the exit of the hall. This place was still considered safe. The killing formation had only killed the living beings in the hall. However, this was only temporary. Soon, the killing formation would spread and cover the whole of the Wind Spirit Sect. At that time, all the foreign beings inside would be completely turned into dust. ¡°Since the previous tests were all tests, and you even gave me the jade key, there must be a way to break it¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. With the protection of the jade key, he rushed to the center of the killing formation. ¡°BOOM!¡± A terrifying fluctuation spread out, and ripples containing destructive power spread out. Lin Mo used the Kun Peng Wings to avoid many of the attacks, but he was still hit and sent flying. Fortunately, he still had the protection of the jade key. He was not injured at all. Instead, he had only been sent flying and almost flew out of the hall. ¡°This won¡¯t do¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. They had already wasted about five minutes before, and now, they had wasted another five minutes¡­ Moreover, the power of the killing formation was getting more and more terrifying. He even doubted whether the jade key could withstand the subsequent attacks¡­ Chapter 723 - 723 An Undeniable Task 723 An Undeniable Task ¡°I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t do it today,¡± said Lin Mo as he charged again with all his strength. The Kun Peng wings flapped and he charged towards the center of the killing formation. This time, however, he didn¡¯t charge forward. Instead, he dodged with his movement technique. Other than that, if he couldn¡¯t dodge the attacks, he would enter the system space and use it to dodge them. After the attack, he reappeared and continued forward. ¡°We¡¯re almost there,¡± he said as a smile appeared on his face. He was already close to the center of the killing formation. He could already vaguely see a few sutras and scrolls appearing here, wrapped in a killing formation. When he saw that he was about to succeed, he became ecstatic and moved more carefully. There wasn¡¯t much time left, and he only had one chance left. He couldn¡¯t be sent flying again. If he were to lose because of a small mistake, he would regret it for the rest of his life. The attacks at the center of the killing formation were very dense. He focused and gradually entered the eye of the formation. On a jade table, an ancient scripture and three scrolls were presented in front of him. Without any time to think, Lin Mo immediately kept it. ¡°Crack!¡± A crisp sound rang out and reverberated in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. It was very clear, but to Lin Mo¡¯s ears, it sounded like a reminder of death¡­ Lin Mo extended his wings and turned to run. He increased his speed to the maximum and used the Abyssal Devouring to absorb the spiritual qi around him before flying at his fastest speed. Very quickly, he met up with Xia You and the rest, who were waiting for him tens of thousands of miles away. ¡°Quickly go into the Small World,¡± Lin Mo roared. He had never felt such a sense of danger before. It was too dangerous. This killing formation was definitely immortal-grade. Moreover, it had been preserved very well over the years, and its power had not decreased. The small group of people did not resist and were immediately sucked into Lin Mo¡¯s Small World. The speed of the Kun Peng was unleashed to its maximum. At the same time, a Qilin egg appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s arms. The Qilin had not entered the Small World. She was beside Lin Mo, and the purple Qilin pattern on the eggshell was condensed. Wisps of auspicious qi rose and surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body. This was the limit of what she could do. Her bloodline and soul were still recovering, so she couldn¡¯t use the Eye of Destiny. Otherwise, she would have activated it long ago to forcefully fluctuate fate and interfere with karma so that Lin Mo would definitely not die in this calamity¡­ ¡°Ah¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± As he passed by an area, Lin Mo heard screams. The killing formation had spread and started to clear out the living beings in the remains. ¡°Crack¡­¡± Another crisp sound was heard. This time, it came from Lin Mo¡¯s hand. The jade key had shattered. The time was up. The key shattered and became completely useless. In response, Lin Mo could only run for his life. The killing formation of the Wind Spirit Sect was too terrifying. It was capable of destroying everything. Streaks of invisible sword light spread out and slashed down from the sky. All the living beings on the island were basically dead now. Only Lin Mo and his people had managed to escape. On the islands in front of them, formation patterns glowed and invisible sword lights descended, destroying everything. ¡°Is the Wind Spirit Sect a devil sect?¡± Lin Mo silently cursed in his heart. This was too dangerous. He could not guarantee that he would be able to escape. It was too difficult¡­ [ Ding! System mission received. The host is currently in the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s most powerful killing formation. It¡¯s unknown whether the host is alive or dead. ] [ Host, please save some young masters who are trapped in the formation and invite them to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce to expand the auction house. ] ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t even think I can escape¡­¡± Lin Mo cursed angrily. Furthermore, the mission had only stated the requirements without even giving any benefits. Only a ghost would be able to go and save him. [ Upon completion, you will receive the blueprint of the third killing formation in the world, the Celestial Slaying Sword Formation. ] ¡°Are you serious?¡± At this moment, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help it. The Celestial Slaying Sword Formation was a killing formation in the primeval world that had been created by Master Tongtian. He had read similar books before he transmigrated, and he knew that there were two other extremely terrifying killing formations. The first formation had been formed by the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. This was the killing formation of twelve divine beings, the first killing formation in an untainted land. It was capable of gathering the killing qi of heaven and earth, forming the real body of Pangu, and summoning the Chaotic Divine Thunder. It could be said to be quite destructive. ¡°Could it be that this world used to be a prehistoric world?¡± Lin Mo had his doubts. He had heard of the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Floating Flame Flag, one of the Primordial Five-Direction Flags. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s worth the risk¡­¡± Lin Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart. The system¡¯s mission seemed to be for him to set up his own Chamber of Commerce. Only by expanding the auction house and making it famous could more treasures be auctioned¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll give it my all. At most, I¡¯ll just be eliminated¡­¡± After making up his mind, Lin Mo began to fly toward the place with living beings. [ It has been detected that the host has accepted a mission. Rewarded with a complete map of the Wind Spirit Sect ruins. ] The system¡¯s voice came again. A map appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. On it were the blind spots of the formation and where living beings were hiding. The system had even analyzed the nature of these living beings and allowed Lin Mo to choose who he wanted to save¡­ ¡°If you had taken it out earlier, would I have refused?¡± Lin Mo could not help but complain. However, time waits for no man. He flew forward quickly and arrived at a mountain stream. Here, there were countless sword lights permeating the air. Even coming into contact with just a little bit of it would mean death. ¡°There¡¯s a person down there. He¡¯s a rogue cultivator from the Dragon continent, and he¡¯s even on the Hidden Dragon List. He¡¯s worth recruiting¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. Following the map, he bypassed the sword light and flew down to the mountain stream. ¡°Sir, are you also trapped? Let¡¯s join forces¡­¡± As soon as he came down, a young man approached Lin Mo to get him to escape with him. ¡°Are you¡­ Lin Mo?¡± Before he could finish his question, he had already recognized Lin Mo¡¯s identity. While he was shocked, a look of despair appeared on his face. Even such a character had fled in such a sorry state, and the people around him had all died¡­ Moreover, he had heard that the God Devouring Body and the Heaven¡¯s Will Body were very close and that they had even joined forces with Mu Yuzhu¡­ If such a terrifying combination could be broken, then wouldn¡¯t that mean that they were already dead? ¡°What¡¯s with that expression? I¡¯m here to save you,¡± said Lin Mo, not knowing what the other party was thinking. Hearing this, the young man was taken aback and asked, ¡°Why?¡± Still thinking quite rationally, he felt that Lin Mo would not come to his rescue for no reason. However, the other people around him ignored him. One by one, they ran to Lin Mo and knelt down, begging him to spare their lives. ¡°You¡¯re a rogue cultivator, are you willing to join my Molin Chamber of Commerce? If you¡¯re willing, I¡¯ll take you away.¡± Lin Mo spoke bluntly. By inviting the young man to join, he was also inviting others. ¡°Of course we¡¯ll join.¡± These people were extremely excited. They didn¡¯t have jade talismans, and if they died, they wouldn¡¯t have a chance to come back. Now that Lin Mo was willing to save them and had even invited them to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce, this was simply a great opportunity. ¡°Time waits for no one. If you don¡¯t join me, I¡¯ll leave,¡± said Lin Mo. The system had not set any standards. However, the goal was to strengthen the Molin Chamber of Commerce, so the more people the better. ¡°If it¡¯s just the Chamber of Commerce, I¡¯ll join.¡± The young man clasped his fists and bowed. He had joined the team. ¡°Don¡¯t resist,¡± Lin Mo shouted. Then with just a thought, he stored all these people in the system space. After that, he continued on to the next place according to the map. The killing formation had wreaked havoc, and everyone on each island was in danger. Countless people were fleeing for their lives, and Lin Mo was like a life-saving straw for all living beings. With a wave of his hand, countless people swarmed over, all completely willing to join. Of course, he didn¡¯t take everyone. He had high requirements on their character to ensure that these people wouldn¡¯t betray him¡­ Chapter 724 - 724 Cramming on Formations 724 Cramming on Formations Fortunately, with the help of the system, he saved about a hundred people along the way. In the end, the killing formation was completely activated. Lin Mo had no choice but to follow the safe passage indicated on the map to escape from the ruins of the Wind Spirit Sect. There was still a large group of people on the outside, looking at the seemingly endless mountains of bones that were covered by the killing formation with lingering fear. ¡°It¡¯s the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo. Did he escape from the deepest part?¡± Someone cried out in alarm. They were on the outskirts and had fled the moment they felt something was wrong, not daring to stay. After they came out, they all agreed that the God Devouring Body and the Heaven¡¯s Will Body must have been eliminated. No one expected the God Devouring Body to rush out the moment the killing formation was fully formed. ¡°I¡¯ve finally come out¡­¡± Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, with a wave of his hand, a large rain of light fell, and hundreds of people appeared. When they realized that they were safe, they were extremely excited. They looked at Lin Mo with eyes filled with gratitude. It was Lin Mo who had saved them in their moment of despair. [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation Diagram. ] The Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was a terrifying killing formation. Just looking at the formation map made him feel dizzy. It was too complicated and was not something he could set up at the moment. ¡°I¡¯ve obtained an ultimate treasure before I¡¯m capable of using yet¡­¡± thought Lin Mo helplessly. However, he was not too disappointed. With the addition of hundreds of people, his Molin Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedly become stronger. After coming out, all he would need was to wave his arm and countless people would swarm over to join the Chamber of Commerce. Even the forces behind them would not oppose it. On the contrary, they would support it greatly. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. I, Yang Yan, am willing to follow you until my death. I will never be disloyal.¡± ¡°I, Shi Zhong, am the same. I swear to follow you until my death¡­¡± These declarations to Lin Mo shocked the heavens and earth. Countless people were dumbfounded as they stared at Lin Mo in disbelief. Furthermore, they could also see the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the others, all of whom were still alive. Lin Mo had brought everyone out and even saved so many people. It was unbelievable. ¡°How is this possible? How did he do it¡­¡± Some people mumbled to themselves in disbelief. ¡°All of you, go to Molin Chamber of Commerce in Lin City and look for Zhao Tianyu,¡± said Lin Mo, as he gave these people directions. As for himself, he had more important things to do. ¡°What did you do? What kind of method did you use?¡± Xia You asked. According to their estimations, even if Lin Mo were able to escape, it would be extremely dangerous. However, the truth was that Lin Mo was fine. On the contrary, he had saved hundreds of people and recruited them. ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Naturally, Lin Mo smiled but did not say anything further. ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to say.¡± Xia You rolled her eyes at Lin Mo, but she did not probe further. Although she wouldn¡¯t have really died, she still felt like she had a new lease on life. This made her realize that the threshold of the third heaven of the King¡¯s realm seemed to be loosening. ¡°By the way, have you obtained the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture? Let me take a look and I¡¯ll give you spiritual stones as a reward.¡± She had a feeling that Lin Mo must have obtained an incredible fortune. If this were to spread, the entire ancient battlefield would be shaken and Lin City would be razed to the ground¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need for compensation. The three of us are cooperating with each other, so we should split it equally.¡± Lin Mo laughed. He would not be stingy with his friends. ¡°Let¡¯s return to Lin City first. An earth-shattering auction will be held there¡­¡± He had a plan in mind. He would use this opportunity to obtain endless natural treasures, and at the same time, draw out some people who were hiding in the dark. Currently, other than them, the only top figures on the surface were the young Pavilion Master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun, and the Seventh Princess of the Holy Blood Water Dragon Clan, Tang Ru. Ever since the others had entered the ancient battlefield, they had disappeared without a trace and did not reveal themselves. Now that he had obtained the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture, he had to force these people out no matter what¡­ ¡°You want to auction the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture? Are you out of your mind?¡± As they traveled along the road, Xia You and Mu Yuzhu transmitted their voices, looking at Lin Mo in confusion. Who in the ancient battlefield could afford the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture? Only the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and the Holy Blood Water Dragon clan could afford such a treasure. Moreover, these people would not really pay Lin Mo for it¡­ ¡°Of course, we won¡¯t sell the real Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. We¡¯ll only sell the incomplete one,¡± said Lin Mo with a mysterious smile. As for the details, he didn¡¯t elaborate further and continued to keep them in suspense. Earlier, he had been busy avoiding the killing formation and had not checked the treasures he had obtained in the system space. Now, he finally had the time, but his brows were slightly furrowed in regret. He had obtained an ancient scripture and three scrolls. He had thought that they would be complete, but the ancient scripture was only a page of scripture¡­ What was recorded in the ancient scripture was actually some of the history of the Wind Spirit Sect and the life of the sect master. The sect master had been a terrifying existence at the Ninth Heaven of the Emperor-to-be when he was alive. With a wave of his hand, stars fell and a starry sky was shattered. However, even such a terrifying existence had never been able to break through to the Great Emperor Realm in his entire life. What was recorded in the ancient scripture was about a Great Emperor that the Wind Spirit Sect had once known. That Great Emperor had created many scriptures. One of the pages had been intercepted and given to the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s Sect Master so that he could make a breakthrough. This page of the scripture was the last page of the ancient scripture. He took it out and showed it to Xia You and Mu Yuzhu. It was obscure and difficult to understand, and they couldn¡¯t comprehend it at all with their current realm. ¡°You want to auction off this page of scripture?¡± Mu Yuzhu asked. Although it was only one page, it was already very shocking. If possible, she wanted to buy it and bring it back to the Mu family. ¡°That¡¯s right. If you want it, you can bid as much as you want. You will only need to pay two-thirds of the price,¡± said Lin Mo with a smile. The three of them would split the fortune equally, and the money from the auction would also be split equally¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll give it a try then¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu nodded. A scripture that could give a Ninth Heaven-Level Emperor-to-be a chance to break through to the Great Emperor Realm was a rare treasure, even if it was just a guide. If word got out, countless beings would fight for it. In Lin City, it was extremely prosperous because hundreds of masters had come, all of them very strong. After all, he had been able to survive in the Wind Spirit Sect ruins for so long before Lin Mo had come to rescue him. His talent and combat strength were worth nurturing. Now, Lin Mo had given the order to select three formation masters. They were all highly skilled in formations. Naturally, the purpose of it was to study formations. Fortunately, the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation given by the system was perfect and had no loopholes. With the guidance of a few formation masters, Lin Mo could finally see the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation clearly. A series of unique patterns reverberated in his mind, giving him a headache. ¡°So annoying. Studying formations is really a ¡°headache¡­¡± Lin Mo grumbled. There were a few formation masters seated not too far away, and they were all his temporary teachers. He had no choice. He could not set up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation on his own. He could only think of a way to simplify it and borrow some key patterns. Fortunately, he was quite talented. With the guidance of a few formation masters, he finally made some achievements after a month. At least for now, he could completely remember the method of setting up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation and could even draw it out. Of course, that was all. It was simply impossible for him to set it up. Even a Saint would not be able to do it¡­ Chapter 725 - 725 Sky Dragon City 725 Sky Dragon City ¡°Lord Lin Mo, you¡¯re a little late in starting to learn formations. There¡¯s no need to waste your time here¡­¡± said one woman. She was very obsessed with formations and had studied them since she was young. She merely acknowledged Lin Mo¡¯s talent in formations, feeling that there was no need for him to continue learning. Even if he managed to master it in the end, this bit of formation mastery was no different from being mere decoration in the face of Lin Mo¡¯s terrifying combat power. ¡°I¡¯m not planning on setting up formations. It¡¯s just that there¡¯s something that I have to do¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo. A month would be enough for Lin Mo to draw out the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation in his mind. In the system space, there were a total of three formation masters. The three of them were unaffiliated cultivators and had already sworn to be loyal to Lin Mo. They were now completely on Lin Mo¡¯s side. All he would have to do was call for them and these people would respond immediately. ¡°If you have any orders for us, please let us know. We will do our best in the field of formations,¡± said a young man confidently. ¡°I want you to simplify a terrifying killing formation and create a powerful killing formation that can kill pre-Saints.¡± Lin Mo spoke frankly. He intended to pass down the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation. Of course, the person who obtained it would have to seal this part of their memory with a Kun Peng Spell. Even if the soul was destroyed, it would not be able to be revealed to the outside world, and outsiders would not be able to crack it by force. Unless the real Emperor came along¡­ After the Wind Spirit Sect ruins, the news spread, which attracted the attention of countless people. Even Lin City was attacked, as many people wanted to test the waters. This was because someone had spread the news that Lin Mo might have obtained the inheritance from the Wind Spirit Sect and was currently in seclusion to comprehend it. Even the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, Mu Yuzhu, also seemed to be in seclusion in Lin City and had not made an appearance. However, since Lin Mo had recruited more than a hundred people and Feng Tian and the others were not weak in combat effectiveness, they were barely able to resist them. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. During this period of time, news of the ancient battlefield continued to spread. Ruins appeared in various places, and some people even obtained quasi-immortal treasures. During this period, Lin City remained silent with no one going out. Xia You and Mu Yuzhu had been studying the scripture that Lin Mo had given them. They had been in seclusion for three months without coming out. During these three months, Lin Mo finally completed the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation. The three formation masters couldn¡¯t hide their excitement and shock. This kind of world-shocking killing formation actually existed in this world, and it was even presented in front of the three of them. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes burned with passion as there was only the formation diagram in front of him and nothing else on his mind. Seeing this, Lin Mo left, giving them time to simplify the formation. ¡°Little girl, you have spent a little too much time in your closed-door training this time¡­¡± After leaving the area, Lin Mo arrived at the center of the Fire Spirit Lake. There was a pure white Qilin egg there. After such a long time, the Molin Chamber of Commerce had accumulated a lot of wealth through holding auctions. A large portion of it had been devoured by Lin Mo, while the rest had been absorbed by the Qilin, except for some necessary expenses. No matter what kind of treasure it was, as long as it contained heaven and earth energy, it would be devoured by her. The amount she had absorbed was too much. After taking a look, Lin Mo left. The Qilin would not be coming out of seclusion for the time being. Using the cultivation resources that the Molin Chamber of Commerce had obtained, Lin Mo devoured them all like a whale gulping down water. Another two months passed. It had been half a year since the exploration of the Wind Spirit Sect ruins, but he still showed no signs of a breakthrough¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve used up all my cultivation resources, but I still haven¡¯t broken through to the King tier¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo as he looked up to the sky. It was too difficult. Even with the system in his hand, his cultivation speed was still slowed down. There were occasional rumors that Xiao Yun had once ventured deep into the lair of a peerless beast and returned with a treasure. Other than that, he had also heard a piece of news that made him apprehensive. ¡°Gongsun Wenhao is back. An Emperor-to-be from the Gongsun family has sent them in by force¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the Hidden Dragon List stop them? Can an Emperor-to-be interfere with the things inside? ¡± Lin Mo muttered in a low voice. This was not good. If that really happened, he and the Qilin would be captured by force. Unless he set up the real Celestial Slaying Sword Formation, it would be impossible to block it. ¡°I have to hurry up and find Qilin¡¯s mother¡¯s training hall.¡± After that, he walked around Lin City and used his martial arts to exchange for two divine herbs and more than ten spiritual herbs. After asking around, he learned from a stall owner that there had been people who had been eliminated and sent in by the Emperor-to-be. However, they had to pay a huge price for that. Moreover, only two or three people could be sent in each time the place was opened¡­ ¡°Do you know where Gongsun Wenhao is now?¡± Lin Mo asked. He wanted to go over and kill the other party again. ¡°Sky Dragon City is the largest city in the ancient battlefield. It has existed for countless years,¡± said someone. There were many masters there. Some time ago, Gongsun Wenhao had appeared there to establish a new force. After receiving the news, Lin Mo flew over as fast as he could. Every time the Sky Dragon City opened, the city would be filled with spiritual herbs and even divine herbs. It was rumored that this was the core of the ancient battlefield, where spiritual qi gathered. Thus, at the very beginning, countless people swarmed here to harvest and fight for fortune. The young master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun, had once occupied the Sky Dragon City with his unparalleled combat strength¡­ In the city, there were many vendors, both big and small. Many treasures were displayed in front of their stalls, most of which were spiritual herbs. ¡°It¡¯s so prosperous. It¡¯s more than twice the size of my Lin City¡­¡± muttered Lin Mo. Sky Dragon City was indeed powerful. Furthermore, this was an ancient city. It was possible that there might be some precious inheritance hidden inside that no one knew about¡­ There were many shops around, and Lin Mo did not bother to hide his identity. As he walked along the streets, people gradually recognized him. In the shadows, some of Xiao Yun¡¯s men were worried when they saw Lin Mo. Xiao Yun had not come out of his closed-door cultivation yet. If Lin Mo were to make a move here, who could stop him? ¡°Where is there a bigger auction being held?¡± Lin Mo asked a passerby. ¡°The center of the city is where Xiao Yun¡¯s forces are located. They buy all sorts of precious treasures.¡± After saying that, the person looked around and his lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to Lin Mo. ¡°God Devouring Lin Mo, you should leave this place. Gongsun Wenhao and Xiao Yun are here. It¡¯s too dangerous for you to come here alone¡­¡± These words of caution were actually a kind gesture. The other party did not know why Lin Mo was there. However, it was a little risky to have come alone. ¡°Many thanks.¡± Lin Mo thanked him and ignored his advice as he walked towards the center of Sky Dragon City. On the way, he could vaguely sense that a powerful existence was staring at him, and a formation was brewing in the dark. In the center of the city, there were beautiful buildings, a sea of flowers, and a bamboo forest. It seemed out of place with the downtown on the periphery. There were many restaurants here, selling wine and food, all of which had a different flavor. ¡°Xiao Yun¡¯s subordinates really know how to enjoy themselves¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed in admiration as he walked in alone. As soon as he stepped in, the formation was activated in secret. Some killing and trapping formations had been activated. Lin Mo ignored them and walked into the largest pavilion that was in the center. According to the news, this was the largest auction house. Chapter 726 - 726 Auctioning Off Quasi 726 Auctioning Off Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts This was the core of Xiao Yun¡¯s influence. Generally, only distinguished guests would be entertained and someone would be needed to guide them in. This was the first time someone like Lin Mo had directly walked in¡­ ¡°Your Excellency, is this unbridled intrusion a provocation?¡± Someone finally stepped forward to ¡®receive¡¯ Lin Mo. A group of people surrounded him, and every one of them was a King tier. Some of them were even at the Seventh-Layered Heaven King tier. These people had all reached this realm before, and they had cultivated their way up again after severing their own lives. It had been arranged by the Hidden Dragon Pavilion for them to protect Xiao Yun¡­ ¡°Is this how the Hidden Dragon Pavilion treats its guests?¡± Lin Mo smiled, not afraid at all. ¡°The guest has come from afar, I wonder if he is good or evil?¡± The Seventh Heaven King asked. He had the urge to activate the formation and take Lin Mo down. With his strength at the seventh level of the King tier, he might not be able to defeat Lin Mo, who was not even at the King tier, but he could at least stall him. As long as he could drag it out until the formation was activated, Lin Mo would definitely face some trouble¡­ ¡°If you want to fight, control your emotions, or else they will leak.¡± Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the other party. His words were neither heavy nor light, but the pressure on these people instantly increased. Some of the guests nearby saw this and quickly retreated, afraid of being affected. ¡°What are you here for?¡± The King tier person shouted. He felt humiliated after having been shocked by Lin Mo. ¡°I¡¯m here to put up an item for auction, do you guys accept?¡± He raised his hand, and a scroll appeared. The scroll was suffused with immortal light, and it was obvious that it was a Supreme treasure. ¡°This is one of the inheritances of the Wind Spirit Sect. It¡¯s a quasi-celestial level martial art with an inheritance imprint inside, and it can only be studied by one person.¡± Since he wasn¡¯t worried about the other party pocketing it, he just handed it over. At the same time, the God Devouring Technique silently circulated, and an extremely terrifying pressure permeated the air. Other than this King tier person, the rest of the people retreated in shock. Was this the power of the God Devouring Body? Just a wave of pressure was enough to suppress them. It was too terrifying. They had no doubt that if Lin Mo had the intention to kill, no one present would be able to stop him. Fortunately, this was their headquarters, and they had a powerful killing formation¡­ ¡°Crack¡­¡± A crisp sound rang out. The outsiders didn¡¯t know what had happened, but the Seventh Sky King¡¯s expression changed drastically. As he looked at Lin Mo, his heart, which had originally wanted to make a move, sank to the bottom¡­ This was because he clearly knew where the sound had come from. It was the killing formation that they had secretly prepared to activate. Lin Mo had destroyed some of the crucial formation cores. The other party¡¯s soul power was sharp and could see through everything with a glance. He saw through the essence and broke the killing formation directly. ¡°How about it? Can you auction it? if you can, please make the arrangements.¡± Lin Mo was a little impatient. If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of luring out Gongsun Wenhao, he wouldn¡¯t have come here to show off. Compared to half a year ago, his strength had improved greatly. His combat strength had also improved greatly. However, in the eyes of others, he was still stuck in the King¡¯s tier, and his cultivation had not improved for half a year. With the addition of a quasi-immortal level martial art, he didn¡¯t believe that Gongsun Wenhao would be able to resist. As long as the other party dared to jump out, he would not hesitate to make a move and completely end the enmity between the two of them. ¡°It can be auctioned. It just so happens that there¡¯s a grand auction about to begin. The quasi-immortal level martial arts can be used as the finale.¡± The King tier person spoke with a much more polite tone. A quasi-immortal level martial art, even Xiao Yun wouldn¡¯t be able to help himself from coming out of seclusion. Even for this auction, the final treasure was only a Level 9 Heaven-class treasure. Even so, the other powerful existences also sent their subordinates to participate in the auction to compete for the treasure. ¡°Then please go ahead and make the arrangements.¡± After retrieving the scroll, Lin Mo turned around and headed upstairs. He would not hand over such a valuable treasure before the auction started. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± A spatial fluctuation spread out, and a spatial crack appeared outside the pavilion. A group of people walked out from it. These people had strange appearances. They were demonic beasts in human form, and there was a fiendish qi lingering around their bodies, making them look abnormally fierce. ¡°What a thick baleful qi. It¡¯s the Dragon Blood Crocodile!¡± ¡°They¡¯re from the Dragon Blood Crocodile clan. It¡¯s said that the one leading them is the Third Heaven¡¯s favorite of the Dragon Blood Crocodile clan. He has dragon blood in his body.¡± The smell of blood filled the air. Wherever these people passed by, they left behind a faint blood mist that slowly dissipated. It was hard to imagine how many living beings these people had killed on the ancient battlefield. The smell of blood on their bodies was too strong. Lin Mo did not have a good impression of these people. This race was too overbearing. Whoever provoked them would have their entire family exterminated. Their fierce reputation had spread throughout the northern lands. ¡°I heard that an elder of their race once captured a Qilin across the endless space,¡± muttered Lin Mo as he recalled what the Qilin had said before. At that time, it had been that elder who had made the first move, which caused the Qilin to encounter a life-and-death crisis, forcing it to use the Eye of Destiny. After Lin Mo and the Qilin had walked together and obtained the inheritance of the Kun Peng, this clan had once declared that they would take action¡­ ¡°Enemies all over the world¡­¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes and turned his head away. Out of sight, out of mind. They walked all the way up to the highest floor. The number of people here had decreased and there were only about a dozen people around. He found a place to sit down. In order to avoid trouble, he used the World-changing Technique to change his appearance. ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s a change in the finale treasure of today¡¯s auction.¡± The host of the auction was the King tier person who had received Lin Mo earlier. He had a very high status. ¡°What do you mean? Are guys not selling the Dao Spirit Fruit anymore?¡± The people from the Dragon Blood Crocodile Clan stood up and spoke angrily. Although this was Xiao Yun¡¯s territory, it was obvious that their clan¡¯s heaven¡¯s pride masters were weaker than her. In addition, this clan was bloodthirsty and had an unusually fiery temper. At this moment, they had already grasped a magic weapon. ¡°Please calm down. The Dao Spirit Fruit is the second-to-last treasure. The King tier person waved his hand and spoke in a calm manner. ¡°The Dao Spirit Fruit¡­¡± Below the stage, Lin Mo was a little shocked. The Dao Spirit Fruit was a good thing. It could let people fall into a deep state of enlightenment. At that time, the cultivation technique would be activated at its fastest speed, absorbing spiritual qi from all directions to nourish itself. It was a treasure of cultivation. If he could obtain it and find a spiritual mine to cultivate in, he would be able to break through to the King tier. ¡°It¡¯s worth buying, and there won¡¯t be any need to auction it¡­¡± The Dao Spirit Fruit¡¯s effect was very important to him right now. He could not wait for the auction rebate. ¡°The first item is a Level 5 Heaven-class divine medicine, the Thunder Origin Fruit. It can be used to cultivate thunder-based martial arts.¡± The auction began, and the first item was the precious Thunder Origin Fruit. It was a Level 5 Heaven-class fruit, and Lin Mo was shocked. ¡°Looks like we¡¯ve made it in time for a large-scale auction. Not bad¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Without too much concern, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a Level 6 Heaven-class skill.¡± The price was impartial, just exceeding the Thunder Origin Fruit by a little. However, it did not exceed that by much. His bid immediately caused some people to be dissatisfied, and they stared at him with unkind eyes. ¡°This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar, who is he?¡± A creature with lightning wings on his back had opened his mouth to speak. He wanted to express his dissatisfaction over who would try to snatch this away from him¡­ Chapter 727 - 727 Book the Entire Venue or Smash It 727 Book the Entire Venue or Smash It ¡°Ahem, don¡¯t mess with him. He¡¯s our special guest¡­¡± The King tier person on the stage hurriedly reminded. He was truly afraid that Lin Mo would kill someone, and they would not be able to stop him. One more thing to take note of was that the Qilin, which had not appeared in a long time, was also staring at them in the shadows¡­ ¡°If no one else is bidding, then please announce the result.¡± Lin Mo smiled and ignored the gazes of the people around him, his face remaining calm. ¡°Heaven-class Level 5 Thunder Origin Fruit, successfully auctioned. Congratulations, sir,¡± said the King tier person on the stage as he tapped the auction hammer. A maidservant walked up onto the stage and took the Thunder Origin Fruit, before handing it over to Lin Mo immediately. The next item was then presented. It was a magic weapon that was also a flag and was very special. ¡°This is something that Lord Xiao Yun brought out when he was exploring the beast lairs. It¡¯s an ancient item.¡± The host enthusiastically described the item. Because it had a good appearance and was an ancient item, it had a certain reference value. As such, all of the dozen or so people who were present were very interested and desired to make a move on it. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s start bidding. We¡¯ll barter or trade with spiritual stones,¡± said the host before knocking the auction hammer. Treasures of this level were usually auctioned with top-grade spiritual stones. However, since they were all juniors, they didn¡¯t have many Supreme-grade spiritual stones on them. Therefore, in this auction, the majority of the people used the method of bartering to bid. ¡°Even if it¡¯s broken, it¡¯s still a Level 5 Heaven-class magic weapon. It¡¯s very valuable. I¡¯ll offer three Level 5 Heaven-class divine pills.¡± The creature with the lightning wings from before spoke up. He had taken a fancy to this flag. ¡°I¡¯ll give you five. I want this flag.¡± The people of the Dragon Blood Crocodile Clan also began to participate in the bidding. ¡°Magic weapons¡­ I¡¯ve neglected them in the past, but I have to pay more attention to them now¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered softly as he looked at the stage. He still wanted the innate spiritual treasures and innate prehistoric treasures that existed in the wilderness¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll give you three Level 6 Heaven-class martial arts,¡± bid Lin Mo. He had quite a few good things on him. ¡°Hmph!¡± His bid immediately caused some people to feel dissatisfied and stare at Lin Mo. ¡°One Heaven-class Level 6 divine pill.¡± Just then, another person made a bid. It was a very powerful human youth, and the spiritual qi on his body was as hot as the lava underground. ¡°Four books of martial arts,¡± said Lin Mo as he raised the bid. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, guest. Compared to martial arts, we want the divine pill more. So, your price is a little lower.¡± The auctioneer on the stage reminded. He was also a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to say it out loud. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion was not short of martial arts. Although they were only at a Level 6 Heaven-class, there were still hundreds of them. Furthermore, they were on the ancient battlefield, so the divine pills and medicine were more valuable. ¡°Then I¡¯ll offer five books. That should be enough, right?¡± Lin Mo did not mind and raised the bid again. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion didn¡¯t need martial arts techniques, but neither did he. It would take up space anyway, so it was better to exchange it and disgust the opponent¡­ ¡°That¡¯s enough¡­¡± The auctioneer¡¯s face turned a little ugly, but in actual fact, he still wanted that divine pill¡­ However, as he was worried that Lin Mo would not be satisfied, he could only silently console himself. ¡°Calm down, calm down. I can¡¯t win¡­ ¡°At least he put up a quasi-immortal level martial art for auction. It¡¯s still worth it¡­¡± After thinking about the quasi-immortal level martial arts, a smile finally appeared on his face. After careful calculation, it seemed that they still wouldn¡¯t lose out. At most, he could just sell these martial arts techniques¡­ ¡°Deal. Let¡¯s welcome the next item.¡± The flag was handed to Lin Mo by the maidservant. There was still some rust on the pole as it had been damaged over the years. ¡°There¡¯s a profound mystery hidden within. It seems to be quite something¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued as his spiritual power was isolated and unable to seep in. He kept the flag in the system space and waited for the appraisal results. [ Battle Spirit Flag, Level 5 Heaven-class. It was once the flag of a powerful army. At its peak, it was at Level 7 Heaven-class. The commander controls the battle flag and can activate the battle intent to fight peak Supreme Saints. ] To be able to fight a Supreme Saint, one could imagine the power of this army. ¡°Isn¡¯t that useless? Where would I get an army?¡± Lin Mo almost could not help but curse. Speaking of which, he did have an army at the eastern continent¡¯s Purple Moon Palace. However, that place was a forbidden land that he could not enter at all¡­ ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just explain the situation and sell it¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness left the system space and focused on the auction once again. The item being auctioned was a White Jade Ginseng King. It was a Heaven-class Level 6 and was very valuable. Many people began to bid for this, with someone already having bid two Heaven-class Level 6 divine pills. Under normal circumstances, this White Jade Ginseng King, could be used with some supplementary herbs to make a Heaven-class Level 7 divine pill. If it was a Level 6, he could at least make three, which was enough to prove its value. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Level 8 Heaven-class fire attribute cultivation skill¡­¡± Lin Mo bid again, using his martial arts items to bid, successfully causing the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡¯s people to jump in anger. ¡°This b*stard¡­ Is he here to cause trouble?¡± Someone in the shadows growled. It was too much to buy precious cultivation resources with cultivation methods and martial arts techniques that were not of much use to them. ¡°What are you looking at me for? Are you suspecting that my cultivation methods are worthless?¡± Lin Mo pretended to be confused. The auctioneer on stage was also a Level 7 King tier and had very strong self-control. If it were someone else, they would have already let loose a string of curses. However, he had no choice. He could not get angry at Lin Mo and had to give an explanation. ¡°That¡¯s not it. These are cultivation methods and martial arts techniques. They¡¯re not worth much here. You can exchange them for¡­¡± Before he could finish, Lin Mo waved his hand impatiently and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m at a disadvantage here. You can announce the results.¡± This time, no matter how slow they were in their reactions, the dozen or so living beings participating in the auction all felt that something was wrong. This person would bid for any treasure, but he would use some martial arts that were of little value to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡­ Furthermore, they recognized the person on the stage. He was a Level 7 Heaven King, but he still didn¡¯t dare to get angry at this person¡­ Some people sized Lin Mo up but did not notice anything unusual. ¡°Forget it, I give up on the competition.¡± Knowing that someone had come to wreck their place and that this person had even booked the entire place, they really wanted to see how the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would react. ¡°Deal¡­¡± The smile on the auctioneer¡¯s face disappeared. He suppressed his anger and ordered someone to send the White Jade Ginseng King over. ¡°The next auction item is a Level 7 Heaven-class divine medicine, ice attribute Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus.¡± The auctioneer¡¯s body began to tremble when a half-meter tall, ice-blue lotus was presented. This was an extremely rare treasure. If it was auctioned normally, they could even get more than one Heaven-class Level 8 divine pill¡­ With Lin Mo¡¯s interference, the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus would not be able to sell for a high price¡­ ¡°This is good stuff. I want it. These are all from my collection. They¡¯re all here.¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and took out a large pile of scrolls, parchment, and ancient books. Most of them were Level 2 or 3 Heaven-class martial arts and cultivation methods. He had killed quite a number of people on the ancient battlefield. He had not thrown away their belongings but kept them all instead. There were formations, pill recipes, cultivation techniques, martial arts techniques, cultivation manuals, and so on¡­ In the eyes of ordinary people, these were treasures. However, in the face of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and the Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, they were just trash¡­ Chapter 728 - 728 Seeking Justice 728 Seeking Justice ¡°I¡¯ll bid these. Announce the results.¡± Lin Mo chuckled as he threw a pile of treasures up onto the stage. The rest of the people did not bother to bid, merely looking like they were watching a good show. This scene had completely broken the defense of the masters from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡­ ¡°Lin Mo, we respect you as a master and have given you enough respect. Don¡¯t go overboard.¡± One figure after another walked over and glared at Lin Mo. Their eyes looked like they were about to spew fire. They had still been able to bear with it before, but this was the Seventh- grade Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. It could be sold for the price of a Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pill or higher. As for Lin Mo¡¯s pile of junk, they would find it expensive even if he were to sell it for a Level 6 Heaven-class divine pill¡­ ¡°What? Is that Lin Mo?¡± Like a single stone that caused a thousand ripples, the dozen or so living beings who were present were instantly shocked. Some creatures had already grasped their weapons and were on high alert because their forces had once participated in the pursuit of the Qilin. They were worried that Lin Mo was here for revenge, causing them to be very afraid. Without their top talent behind them, no one present would be able to stop Lin Mo and the Qilin¡­ ¡°Why are you so excited? I¡¯m just here to attend the auction.¡± Lin Mo leisurely picked up a cup of tea from the table and savored it. The fragrant tea flowed between his lips and teeth, and he immediately felt relaxed and happy. ¡°This is good tea¡­¡± ¡°Is there anyone who bids like you? Why are you offering such a low price¡­¡± The people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion shouted, demanding that Lin Mo bid with divine pills. ¡°I¡¯m bidding the lowest price. You can ask them to bid, and I¡¯ll continue to bid as well,¡± said Lin Mo as he pointed at his surroundings. Who would have guessed that these people would shrink back, not wanting to provoke him? They had all indirectly offended Lin Mo before. Now that Lin Mo was here to cause trouble for the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, it was best not to get involved. Although some were a little reluctant to let go of treasures like the Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus and the Dao Spirit Fruit, they were still a little worried. However, no matter how good a piece of treasure was, one had to be alive to get it. If Lin Mo was interested in bidding for it, they might be fine now, but who knew if he would follow them when they left with it? ¡°Look, it doesn¡¯t look like anyone is bidding. You can¡¯t blame me for this. You can only blame your Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus for not being attractive enough.¡± Lin Mo spoke arrogantly, but what he said made the people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion almost die of anger. ¡°A Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pill will be sold at the auction,¡± said the auctioneer on the stage, while adjusting his mood. ¡°No one else is bidding, so why would I bid so high?¡± Without buying it at all, Lin Mo merely offered such a price. ¡°In addition, it¡¯s too much of a loss for me to only exchange my treasures for the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. You guys can add another Dao Spirit Fruit.¡± He was asking for a sky-high price, even wanting the Dao Spirit Fruit. ¡°Or is it that fellow Daoists also like the Dao Spirit Fruit and want to compete with Lin Mo? ¡± Saying so, he looked around, but none of the dozen or so people dared to look at him. Instead, they kept their heads lowered. ¡°Activate the formation, let¡¯s fight it out with him.¡± Finally, the King tier person couldn¡¯t bear it any longer, and he activated a formation to fight for his life. ¡°Please think twice. Unless it can destroy the formation of a Saint, it won¡¯t do much to me,¡± said Lin Mo as he shook his head. A black hole began to spread out that no one could stop. In the surrounding space, the originally hidden formation eye had been found, and the spiritual qi inside had begun to be devoured. ¡°Lin Mo, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion has never provoked you.¡± At this moment, the people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion finally panicked and wanted to make peace. ¡°Qilin is my adopted younger sister. I¡¯m here today to seek justice for her.¡± At this point, Lin Mo finally revealed his purpose. Of course, this was one of his reasons. ¡°You people of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion entered the ancient battlefield early and disturbed the Qilin, causing her to be born early, with congenital deficiencies. ¡°Ultimately, a forbidden technique was used which injured her origins. She has consumed countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but even divine medicine and divine fruits can¡¯t fully heal her. ¡°Even if I were to kill you all today, it wouldn¡¯t be too much.¡± At this point, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but be furious. When he thought of the little Qilin¡¯s grievances when it cried to him, the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger. He looked at the Dragon Blood Crocodile not far away. Sooner or later, he would have to take the Qilin to settle the score with this clan¡­ ¡°Wait, if you dare to attack me, I¡¯ll destroy your Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique.¡± At this moment, the King tier person on the stage spoke up. The item in his hand was the item that Lin Mo had placed for auction. The Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique was also the final treasure of this time. He had no choice. The formation was ineffective against Lin Mo. If they were to fight today, Sky Dragon City would be stained with blood¡­ ¡°Are you willing to?¡± Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the other party. He really wanted to auction this martial arts manual, and he was sure that the other party would not dare to destroy it. Otherwise, he would be the first one to take the blame when Xiao Yun came out. ¡°Of course I¡¯m not, but if you and Qilin fight us, I probably won¡¯t be able to live, so I can only die together with you.¡± His eyes were filled with determination. This was the only way to make Lin o stop. He could only bet that Lin Mo did not know what this martial arts technique was. He was unwilling to let the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique be destroyed. ¡°Zhang Long, is what you said true? Is this a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique?¡± At this moment, all the living beings who had wanted to watch the battle raised their heads, and the greed in their eyes could not be concealed. If the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique was real, it was worth a try. Even Lin Mo might not want to destroy this rare book of martial arts. ¡°It¡¯s simple. Just sell me the Dao Spirit Fruit and the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus,¡± said Lin Mo as he made a concession. He didn¡¯t want to completely ruin the auction and end it like this. If he didn¡¯t get any return, he would suffer a loss on this trip. He had to maximize his benefits. ¡°Give it to him first. Everything will be handled after the young Pavilion master comes out of seclusion.¡± The few people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion secretly transmitted their thoughts, their eyes filled with unwillingness. ¡°Here you go¡­¡± In the end, they nodded and agreed to Lin Mo¡¯s price. They exchanged a pile of low-level martial arts techniques for the Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus and Dao Spirit Fruit. ¡°Alright, you may continue with the auction. This Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique is mine. I won¡¯t bid any further.¡± After receiving the treasure, Lin Mo sat back down. The crowd heaved a sigh of relief as they turned their attention back to the stage. The young master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was still in seclusion, and the formation had just been broken¡­ If not for Lin Mo¡¯s presence, they would have tried to snatch it. ¡°The auction for the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique has begun. Everyone, please make your bids.¡± The sound of the rapping of the auction hammer on the stage rang out, and more than a dozen creatures below made their bids. Some even asked if they could buy on credit. ¡°No credit. If you don¡¯t have enough treasures, you can borrow from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion,¡± said Lin Mo. After all, all of these guys were enemies. If they were allowed to owe any payment to him, it would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens to collect the debt. ¡°Three Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Pills.¡± After a group of people started bidding, the final price was fixed on the Dragon Blood Crocodile. Three Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Pills was not a small amount. Of course, it was far inferior to the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. This was what everyone from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was worried about. Surreptitiously, they looked at Lin Mo, afraid that he would not be satisfied with the price. ¡°The Hidden Dragon Pavilion offers five Level 9 Heaven-class Divine Pills, three Level 9 Heaven-class Magic Weapons, and a Level 9 Heaven-class Martial Arts Technique.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not really interested in martial arts techniques. Can I exchange it for divine medicine?¡± Lin Mo asked. He had already known that the people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would make a move. ¡°There are only two Level 8 Heaven-class Divine Herbs¡­¡± said someone, worried that Lin Mo would be dissatisfied and not be willing to accept it. Chapter 729 - 729 The Eight Demonic Puppets 729 The Eight Demonic Puppets ¡°Deal. Let¡¯s do this and I¡¯ll leave right away.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words caused these people to heave a sigh of relief. Only the dozen or so of the people who had come to participate in the auction were left. It was one thing for them to be frightened by Lin Mo during their trip here, but they had not managed to get anything so far. The last Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique had also been bought by the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. This made them feel very unwilling, but they did not dare to make a move here because they weren¡¯t able to see Lin Mo¡¯s actual strength clearly. Soon, the treasure was delivered and appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. ¡°This can be considered a good harvest¡­¡± said Lin Mo, as he nodded in satisfaction. This trip had been worth it. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, the Great Heavenly Demonic Wind. ] [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, Eight Demonic Puppets. ] Lin Mo was very curious about the new martial arts technique that was at the quasi-immortal level. At the same time, he could also tell that the three scrolls he had obtained were all Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts, but they were probably only at the Quasi-Immortal level. It could be said that this Eight Demonic Puppets book was far superior to the Great Heavenly Demonic Wind just because of the celestial lighting on it. It could be said that this was Lin Mo¡¯s greatest gain in Sky Dragon City and he was very satisfied. ¡°Thanks. I was just worried that I wouldn¡¯t be able to gather enough resources to break through to the King tier.¡± After putting the treasure away, Lin Mo smiled at the people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Then, he turned around, and flew out of the window, leaving everyone dumbfounded. ¡°He still hasn¡¯t broken through to the King tier?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been stuck in my cultivation for half a year¡­¡± For a moment, they could not explain their thoughts, and their fear of Lin Mo decreased a little. That was because Lin Mo had not hidden his level. The aura he released was very pure, and it was at the peak of the Almighty. At the same time, they recalled that Lin Mo had even auctioned off a Quasi-Immortal level martial arts technique. Perhaps it was because he lacked resources¡­ After thinking about it, everyone from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had a huge change in their expressions. Wouldn¡¯t their actions benefit the enemy? ¡°D*mn it, we¡¯ve been tricked¡­¡± Some people were furious and wanted to chase after him. They felt that they would be able to deal with Lin Mo, who was at the Almighty realm. However, they quickly shook their heads, not daring to act rashly. After all, it was very likely that the Qilin was hiding in the dark. If they were to really make a move, they would most likely fall into Lin Mo¡¯s trap¡­ Lin Mo flew away quickly from Sky Dragon City, looking like he was in a hurry. This was his hypothesis to lure Gongsun Wenhao out. Half a year had already passed, so his realm must have already gotten higher, while it looked like he himself was making no progress. Without a doubt, this was the best time to kill him. It all depended on whether or not Gongsun Wenhao had the courage to make a move. ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s also a martial arts book¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness entered the system space. The scroll that was emitting a celestial light floated aimlessly inside. This was an inheritance scroll. After linking one¡¯s consciousness to it, one could immediately learn it and use it with a little practice. The flaw was that it could only be cultivated by one person, and it would take a long time to inscribe. ¡°The Eight Demonic Puppets is indeed terrifying¡­¡± Lin Mo linked his consciousness to the book and took control of it. He was amazed. It used an extremely powerful spiritual energy to transform into the heaven and earth astral wind, before finally compressing it with extremely overbearing means. Once it was used, the explosive power could even block the attack of a quasi-Saint¡­ However, this move consumed a lot of spiritual qi. It would instantly drain 80% of Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual qi. Even if he used the Abyssal Devouring to absorb the spiritual qi, it would still use up about half of his strength. ¡°My cultivation is not high enough. If I was in the King Tier, it might not be so difficult to use it¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo. He had one more trump card, but his realm was still a little low¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you won¡¯t have the chance to break through to the King tier¡­¡± Suddenly, the space in front of Lin Mo split open, and a man in silver armor walked out. The newcomer looked furious. He held a bright silver halberd in his hand, and his eyes were filled with cold killing intent as he glared at Lin Mo¡­ ¡°You¡¯re finally here. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a chuckle. Back in Sky Dragon City, he had already sensed a powerful spiritual power sweeping through the area. It was likely that the other party was also afraid that he was hiding his strength, or perhaps that he was afraid that Qilin or Xia You were hiding in the shadows. ¡°You¡¯ve revealed your strength and came alone to lure me out. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being killed by me?¡± Gongsun Wenhao coldly said. He was different from Lin Mo. If Lin Mo was killed, even if he could be resurrected, what awaited him would be a dark imprisonment. There was an Emperor-to-be watching from the outside. It would be impossible for Lin Mo to hide by himself¡­ ¡°Eh? He¡¯s at the Third Heaven Level of the King realm. He broke through continuously each level after being defeated. Be prepared¡­¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He had thought that the other party would only break through one realm, but it turned out to be two. ¡°Hand over your life!¡± Gongsun Wenhao shouted as he wielded his silver halberd and slashed through space. ¡°Dang!¡± Lin Mo held the War Demon Spear in his hand to block the attack. He was even more shocked when the two of them collided. The space shattered and ripples erupted. ¡°Not bad. Your strength has increased greatly. You won¡¯t self-destruct this time, right?¡± Lin Mo asked in surprise. This guy¡¯s physical body had become stronger again. It seemed that he had obtained some opportunities. It was no wonder that he dared to chase after him now. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, let¡¯s see the truth with our hands.¡± The silver armor on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body glowed as he became enraged by Lin Mo¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯m not talking nonsense. You¡¯ve been beaten to the point of self-destruction, yet I¡¯m unscathed. This is the truth.¡± Lin Mo teased and continued to provoke Gongsun Wenhao. ¡°B*stard!¡± Gongsun Wenhao was completely furious. His eyes became bloodshot, and his battle intent was raised to the peak. His killing intent also spread out. ¡°Go to hell!¡± In an instant, he activated the Golden Immortal Body, and his combat strength increased rapidly. He fought with Lin Mo and began to suppress him. This caused his battle intent to soar, and he became braver as he fought. He had fought with Lin Mo so many times, yet he had never gained the upper hand. He had always been suppressed by Lin Mo. Furthermore, the other party¡¯s realm was lower than his. This was hard for Gongsun Wenhao to accept. But today, he had finally risen in this battle. Although he had relied on his realm, he had truly suppressed Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s too early for you to be happy¡­¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo¡¯s calm voice could be heard, and the Yin Yang Dao Law appeared on his body. The two forces fused perfectly into one, becoming indistinguishable from each other and erupting with even greater power. ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky.¡± With a low roar, the power of the fusion of yin and yang spread, causing Lin Mo¡¯s combat power to increase greatly. Although Lin Mo¡¯s strength had not improved in the past six months, his combat power had improved greatly. His understanding of the ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky¡± had also become much deeper, and he was able to execute it perfectly. With the help of the Abyssal Devouring, Gongsun Wenhao was gradually unable to hold on. With the God Devouring Body, Lin Mo was almost certain to win a prolonged battle. ¡°You don¡¯t have a chance anymore. Go in peace.¡± Lin Mo raised his head. Although Gongsun Wenhao would definitely be defeated if this battle continued, he could not wait any longer. Slowing down his attacks, he gave Gongsun Wenhao time to catch his breath. Taking this opportunity, the other party quickly consumed a divine medicine, and the spiritual energy he had lost was quickly restored. A gentle wind blew, and eight light green vortexes gradually formed around Lin Mo. This was an extremely compressed wind element, containing extremely terrifying power. ¡°I¡¯ve only just learned this ¡®Eight Demonic Puppets¡¯ technique. It¡¯ll be your honor to die from this move¡­¡± Chapter 730 - 730 Finally Breaking Through the King Tier 730 Finally Breaking Through the King Tier The power of this Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Art Technique had exceeded Lin Mo¡¯s expectations. It was extremely powerful. The eight dark green astral winds condensed, and the power they produced instantly tore Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s body apart. A look of horror appeared on his face, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. ¡°How did you learn this kind of martial arts technique?¡± A trace of regret appeared on Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s face. With a miserable cry, his body exploded, and even his soul was annihilated. Just like that, the proud son of heaven of Yunzhou had completely fallen. ¡°So, why did you come back? After a defeat, there was a problem with your Dao heart, and you lost the belief of invincibility¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo. He picked up the silver halberd and armor that had fallen to the ground. They were two powerful Level 8 Heaven-class magic weapons that could be auctioned off. After the battle was over, Lin Mo flapped his wings and soared into the sky, flying towards Lin City. What he didn¡¯t know was that the moment Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s soul was destroyed, the outside world, where the Hidden Dragon Rank was, was in an uproar. They had all seen the battle that they had just experienced. Gongsun Wenhao had been eliminated because his Dao heart was unstable. He had been proud and unwilling to be defeated by Lin Mo, who was weaker than him. Therefore, the clan leader of the Gongsun clan had made his move. He had used a heaven-defying technique to tear open a crack and send him in to fight Lin Mo. With an Emperor-to-be taking action, people had been lucky enough to observe this battle. The final result silenced some people. Lin Mo had won, and it had been an easy victory. ¡°The human God Devouring Body is indeed an amazing body. Once it appears, it will dominate the world¡­¡± ¡°The human race is going to prosper. Fortunately, they have internal disputes. I hope they will eventually exhaust themselves.¡± The square was in an uproar as everyone sighed. At the same time, a figure seemed to be standing in the sky. Everyone knew that this was the clan leader of the Gongsun family. He was an Emperor-to-be who had lived for countless years. The Gongsun family had an Emperor-to-be who was a peerless master, which was a great fortune. In particular, this Emperor-to-be had been able to protect Gongsun Wenhao¡¯s growth. He would definitely have great achievements in the future. But unfortunately, they had encountered the God Devouring Body, the Supreme body of the human race. The tragedy had already been pre-destined and there was no turning back. Gongsun Wenhao was already dead. His soul had been destroyed and he had died on the ancient battlefield. Even an Emperor-to-be couldn¡¯t bring him back¡­ Although ordinary people could not sense the aura above the nine heavens, some Saints could still vaguely sense it. A monstrous anger had been suppressed to the extreme, and it was at risk of exploding at any time. ¡°Alas, the heavens are not protecting my Gongsun family¡­¡± A sigh seemed to come from the sky. It was filled with regret and anger, which made many masters¡¯ hearts tremble. The Emperor-to-be was furious. Who could stop him? It was conceivable that when the ancient battlefield closed, many masters would return. A storm of blood was about to erupt¡­ The God Devourer Body Lin Mo had become the focus of everyone¡¯s discussion. Furthermore, according to the news that Teng Feng had brought out, a Heaven¡¯s Will Body had sneaked into the ancient battlefield. It was a Supreme physique that wasn¡¯t weaker than the God Devouring Body, and the two of them had come from the same place. ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine that a barren land like the Eastern Continent could produce the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and the God Devouring Body at the same time.¡± ¡°In the future, there might be a super force born in the Northern Continent that will become a giant.¡± The crowd sighed in admiration. They felt that they had been careless and shouldn¡¯t have completely offended the God Devouring Body for the sake of the Qilin blood. If they could be won over, the sect would welcome prosperity. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about trying to win him over. After offending so many people, no one will let him live¡­¡± The ancient battlefield! After dealing with Gongsun Wenhao, Lin Mo encountered several dangerous places on his way back to Lin City. He had also made some gains inside, picking a few stalks of half-divine medicine. What forced him to stop was the movement in the system space. The Qilin that had been in seclusion in the Fire Spirit Lake had finally broken out of its shell, its realm having skyrocketed. She had transformed into a snow-white Qilin. Her body was now over ten meters long and she was very tall. Stepping on the auspicious clouds, she swam in the air, waiting for the heavenly tribulation to descend and temper herself. Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly let her out. In the system space, the lightning tribulation could not be found¡­ Sure enough, just as the snow-white Qilin appeared, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds. It turned into a Saint and chanted sutras. The auspicious qi manifested and turned into ten thousand spirits that surrounded the Qilin. How was this a heavenly punishment? This was clearly a celebration by the heavens for the birth of the Qilin. There was no heavenly lightning. Her heavenly tribulation was very strange. The heavens would not punish the real auspicious beast, but only bless and fulfill it. Lin Mo gritted his teeth in hatred when he saw this. He wished he could point at the heavens and curse. Why was it so dangerous for him to cross the tribulation? He almost died every time. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, please cultivate under my cloud. I¡¯ll help you break through.¡± The Qilin¡¯s voice transmission reverberated in Lin Mo¡¯s ears, urging him to hurry up and cultivate. The heavens had blessed her with endless heaven and earth energy to refine her. She simply couldn¡¯t digest this energy. More than that, she wanted to give back to the earth and the heavens. It was said that in ancient times, every time a Qilin broke through and transcended a tribulation, it would attract a large number of followers. They were willing to acknowledge the Qilin as their master, just so that they could cultivate under its auspicious clouds and be tainted with its auspicious qi. ¡°Thanks, little girl.¡± Lin Mo was not pretentious. He came to the central area, sat on the ground, swallowed the Dao Spirit Fruit, and started cultivating. He circulated the Soul Devouring Technique to its maximum speed, and his aura also soared at this moment. The vigorous energy of heaven and earth spread, and Lin Mo¡¯s aura rose at a visible rate. He was already close to the King tier, and with this opportunity, he was only a few days away from breaking through. With the help of the auspicious beast, he didn¡¯t encounter any barriers this time. He easily broke through the realm and stepped into the King tier. Moreover, there were endless auspicious signs around him, so the Heavenly Tribulation could not lock onto him and was only able to linger in the distance. ¡°Hey, what a strange feeling¡­¡± All of a sudden, Lin Mo felt an itch in his eyes and the space between his eyebrows. Strange runes began to appear. ¡°The Eye of Martial Arts¡­¡± He was shocked. When breaking through to the King tier, there was a chance of comprehending the Eye of Martial Arts, but the chance was very low. This did not prove one¡¯s talent or the like. One had to rely purely on one¡¯s own luck. With the Qilin¡¯s protection, he would not miss any opportunities. Thus, his Eye of Martial Arts began to quietly form. Wisps of strange runes gathered in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. In the end, the light between his eyebrows dissipated and entered his eyes. The condensing point of the Eye of Martial Arts would only be the eyes and the heart of the brows. The location Lin Mo had chosen was in his eyes, where wisps of divine light gathered. His eyes seemed to contain chaos. The moment it opened, the entire world trembled. The Eye of Martial Arts was formed very smoothly and he didn¡¯t encounter any barriers or obstacles. Lin Mo stared ahead and felt as if time had stopped. All the minute changes appeared in his eyes. He could see the trajectory of the mosquito¡¯s wings and the pattern of the circulation of spiritual qi. When the heavenly eye was opened, it could see through all illusions. No illusion could affect it. It could penetrate the void and see the development of laws. The martial arts that the other party used would be displayed in his eyes, and his weaknesses would be exposed. Chapter 731 - 731 Three Godly Sword Formation 731 Three Godly Sword Formation ¡°Buzz ¡­¡± The auspicious qi nourished all spirits, and it lasted for a day and a night. When the first rays of the morning sun appeared on the horizon, the Qilin flew down on the auspicious clouds. She transformed into a human and wore a pure white dress. Her entire temperament had changed greatly. She appeared to be holy and flawless, like a fairy in the moon. ¡°Hehe, the way you¡¯re staring at me like that. Am I very pretty?¡± Her holy and pure appearance was shattered in an instance. Her playful and playful look was still that of the little Qilin¡­ ¡°I think I¡¯ve grown taller, right? I¡¯ve grown a little.¡± She was a little excited as she moved closer to Lin Mo while gesturing with her hands. Finally, she confirmed that she had indeed grown a little taller. However, even so, she was still a head shorter than Lin Mo, which made her a little unhappy. ¡°Have your inborn deficiencies been completely fixed?¡± Lin Mo laughed. He realized that he couldn¡¯t feel the Qilin¡¯s qi anymore. It was very powerful. Its qi and blood were like the sea, with a touch of holy light in its body. ¡°That¡¯s right. Did you give me a quasi-immortal medicine? The power was extremely great. I had to take a long time to absorb it.¡± The Qilin spoke excitedly. After waiting for so long, her bloodline was finally complete, and she had even learned the most complete Qilin spell technique. Her combat ability and cultivation level had both skyrocketed. She was now at the third level of the King realm. ¡°Don¡¯t make it public. We can¡¯t expose that treasure,¡± said Lin Mo to stop her. The Fruit of Fate was a Supreme treasure born by the World Tree. It was a Supreme treasure of the world and an existence beyond the immortal level ¡­ ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right, you should quickly go and find your tribulation cloud. You haven¡¯t received your reward for transcending the tribulation yet,¡± said the Qilin very quickly, as if the thoughylt had only just come to her. In the sky, there was a gray-black thundercloud that was slowly dissipating. It was obvious that Lin Mo¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation had already dispersed and would not bring him any training. At first, he felt a little regretful that he had missed a chance to cultivate. However, he quickly reacted. The benefits of being under the auspicious cloud were too great. The effect was even stronger than the Heavenly Tribulation cultivation. ¡°It¡¯s alright, the reward is still there.¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He then found a treasure that was about to dissipate in the gray-black tribulation cloud. It was a piece of suet jade. It was very mysterious, and there were bits of chaotic mist still lingering on it. It contained a Supreme treasure. He immediately stored it in the system space and checked the results of the appraisal. The reward of the Heaven Devouring Thunder tribulation is the World Pearl. There is a small world inside it, and it can be used to refine spatial magical artifacts. The reward this time was very precious. It was a treasure that could be used to refine a spatial magical treasure. One had to know that this kind of spatial magical treasure was not like storage rings or spatial bags. Using world beads as materials, the magical equipment obtained would have strong combat power, and the lowest grade would be the quasi-immortal level. However, he couldn¡¯t cultivate it at the moment, because only great Saints could refine it. If anyone below the Supreme Saint realm tried to refine a World Pearl, they would probably get lost in it and die. ¡°Another ultimate treasure that I can¡¯t use after obtaining it¡­¡± Lin Mo felt helpless. Furthermore, he could not sell this treasure. There were only a handful of people who could afford it in the ancient battlefield. And those people did not need to spend so much money to buy a World Pearl. As for selling them, it would be better to wait for him to settle down after he left. ¡°How is it? What kind of treasure is it?¡± Below, the Qilin saw that Lin Mo had not made a sound and flew up to check. ¡°it¡¯s a World Pearl. It¡¯s useless for now. Let¡¯s go.¡± The two of them flew forward. Now that he was a King tier, his speed had increased greatly. In just half a day, they eturned to Lin City. ¡°Haha, I¡¯m finally back.¡± As soon as they arrived in Lin City, the Qilin jumped and cheered as they went along the streets. When she saw the medicinal herbs on the stalls, she could not help but feel her appetite increase. She turned to look at Lin Mo. ¡°Let¡¯s go back first. I¡¯ll prepare some delicious food for you.¡± Lin Mo smiled and led the Qilin into the Molin Chamber of Commerce. He ordered Mao Zhu, Feng Tian, and the others to come over. Following them were Mu Yuzhu and Xia You. Both of these people had finally come out of seclusion. To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, Xia You had broken through to the third layer of the King realm. Comprehending the Scripture had given her a huge boost. By drawing parallels from inference, she had formed a deep understanding and obtained a great fortune. Now, she also had the idea of participating in an auction. She would buy it at a high price and keep it by her side to comprehend it, which could help her cultivation. Mu Yuzhu had also broken through, and was now a second-layered Heavenly King. After the Qilin came out of seclusion and Lin Mo had made his breakthrough, the Molin Chamber of Commerce was peaceful and auspicious clouds rose in the sky. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we missed an opportunity¡­¡± Xia You sighed. The Qilin had made up for its inborn deficiencies and had become a true auspicious beast, the White Qilin. The Heavenly Tribulation she had attracted when she broke through to the next realm brought auspicious signs and blessings to all living beings. Cultivating and breaking through under the auspicious cloud, not only could one avoid the calamity of the Heavenly Tribulation, one could also obtain unimaginable benefits. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Set up the pot quickly. I¡¯m hungry.¡± The Qilin laughed heartlessly. When it saw Lin Mo take out the frozen remains of the lost snake, its appetite was greatly stimulated. She and Lin Mo moved quickly. Under Xia You¡¯s stunned gaze, they skinned and deboned the snake, cut it into pieces, and placed it into the cauldron. In the end, he asked Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue to boil it with Nirvana Phoenix Fire to speed up the cooking process ¡°Snake soup, I haven¡¯t had it before¡­¡± The Qilin was filled with anticipation. She couldn¡¯t seem to stop from drooling, which sparked the others¡¯ appetite, as they eagerly waited to enjoy it. Smoke rose in spirals. The power of the Nirvana Phoenix Fire was stronger than the Dao fire, and it sped up the cooking. Not long after, the group of people opened up altars to drink and gobble down the food. As the saying goes, fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortune never comes alone! However, in front of Qilin, these words were the opposite. It had been less than a month since Lin Mo and tge Qilin had returned. The three of them, who had been studying the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation in the system space day and night, finally came out of seclusion. ¡°Miss Fang Luo, what¡¯s the harvest from your closed-door cultivation this time?¡± Lin Mo asked. He attached great importance to these three people. He had even given them the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation in the hope that he could research a simplified version of the formation. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, I have no way to repay you for your great kindness¡­¡± Fang Luo and the other two looked haggard as they walked out of the system space with bloodshot eyes. One could imagine how much these three people had studied the Immortall Eradication Sword Formation. ¡°This is what you deserve. Where¡¯s the formation that I wanted?¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, knowing that the three of them had succeeded. Fang Luo raised his head, took out a scroll of formation diagram, and began explaining it to Lin Mo. The three of them had thought about it day and night, and with their attainments in formations, they came to an understanding from one of the formation eyes of the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation. He studied it and finally understood the formation route of the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation. Knowing that they couldn¡¯t set it up, they went into seclusion to comprehend it. They comprehended a new sword formation and set it up. It was one that could kill pre-Saints. ¡°This formation is called the Three Godly Sword Formation.¡± This was the super simplified version of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. It required three powerhouses to form the eye of the formation and hold powerful magical artifacts. With the help of the formation, the three people in the sword formation would have the combat power of a pre-Saint. The God-killing Sword Formation was unparalleled and could not be broken without the four emperors. The Three Godly Sword Formation was also heaven-defying and could not be broken without three Saints-to-be. ¡°Good, good, you guys have helped me a lot ¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed heartily. He could finally execute the plan that he had been brewing for a long time. Chapter 732 - 732 Treat Him With Sincerity 732 Treat Him With Sincerity The three of them were terrified, but they were also very happy. They had come here just to repay a favor, but instead, they had obtained such a terrifying killing formation. Seeing that it had worked, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. With enough materials, the three of them began to set up the formation. Lin Mo also took out three Level 9 Heaven-grade magic weapons. He had originally planned to auction them, but after some thought, he decided to keep them as his trump cards. It would take seven days to set up the formation, with Qilin, Xia You, and Lin Mo as the formation eyes, holding the formation flags. The three Heaven-grade magic weapons acted as the core of the formation, forming the three Celestial Sword Formations that enveloped the entire Forest City. The moment the formation was activated, Lin Mo and the other two instantly possessed the combat strength of a quasi-Saint. The feeling of being able to destroy the world with just a gesture of his hand intoxicated him. ¡°If the three Celestial Sword Formations make me feel like this, what kind of feeling will it be when I set up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation in the future¡­¡± He was looking forward to it. At the same time, a piece of news had already spread in the outside world. Countless living beings swarmed over to Lin City. And this was only to gather information. Lin City suddenly became lively and crowded with people. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re here too. Is the news true?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. Lin Mo is actually willing to auction it off. It¡¯s ridiculous.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it¡¯s the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. I believe it¡¯s the Quasi-Immortal Martial Arts Technique. Lin Mo went to Sky Dragon City a while ago.¡± ¡°At that time, he gained a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique at an auction. It was said that he wanted to gather the resources to break through to the King level.¡± There were different opinions, making Lin City unprecedentedly lively. Meanwhile, some people were hatching plans in the dark, discussing how to capture Lin Mo and the others in one fell swoop. ¡°Since Lin Mo dares to do this, he should have some confidence¡­¡± There was a group of people on the top floor of a restaurant who were discussing and exchanging information. ¡°The Qilin hadn¡¯t appeared for a long time. Recently, however, it has frequently been walking around Lin City.¡± ¡°In addition, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body often appears and has already discovered us.¡± The crowd chimed in, and the news they received made their hearts sink. This was a huge force. Neither Xiao Yun nor Tang Ru had the confidence to break in. Perhaps, this was one of the reasons why Lin Mo dared to auction it off. ¡°What we know so far is that the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique and many other treasures are real.¡± Someone had personally gone to the Molin Chamber of Commerce to ask about it. Fifteen days later, the Molin Chamber of Commerce would be holding an auction, and a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts would be one of the items offered. Other than that, there were also treasures like the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus and a Level 8 Heaven-grade magic weapon. Even the Quasi-Immortal Level treasures that were known as rare Immortal treasures would appear. This made countless people drool, wanting to join in and get their desired treasure. Looking at the undercurrents in Lin City, Lin Mo looked down at the city from the top of the central palace. With his sharp soul power, not a single person could escape his eyes. However, he was disappointed to find that none of the people who had come were high-leveled fighters. They were basically the generals, second battle servants, and so on of their respective forces. ¡°Those who came are all subordinates. There¡¯s not a single big fish¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Xiao Yun and the others were not present. ¡°There was one a while ago, but that person seemed to have sensed something and retreated.¡± From behind, Xia You led the Qilin over. During this period of time, the two of them had gotten along quite well. Facing this cheeky and cute little girl, Xia You also became very fond of her, and often took her to stroll around Lin City. ¡°Do you want to buy that piece of scripture?¡± Lin Mo asked. Mu Yuzhu was still in seclusion, studying the scriptures, but she still wasn¡¯t able to memorize them. It was the work of a great emperor from the ancient era, so it was hard to imagine. ¡°I¡¯m not buying anymore. I¡¯ll just read the ancient books of the past once so as not to interfere with my own judgment of the future.¡± Xia You shook her head. She was now a little interested in Lin Mo¡¯s Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. According to what they had agreed on, the opportunities would be divided equally. Lin Mo had already agreed that after the auction, he would give her and Mu Yuzhu an even more powerful Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. However, who would complain about having too many martial arts of this level? As the saying went, ¡°Having more skills doesn¡¯t weigh down one¡¯s body.¡± She had some savings on her, so she had wanted to grab a book and increase her means. ¡°Compared to this, I¡¯m more interested in knowing what you¡¯ll do when you leave this place after offending so many people.¡± Xia You was not the only one who wanted to know the answer to this question. Countless living beings in the world wanted to know as well. As long as the ancient battlefield was closed, all living beings from the outside world would be teleported out and returned to the square. At that time, there would definitely be an Emperor-to-be who would capture Lin Mo and the Qilin by force. This was the tragedy of rogue cultivators. Without a backer, they were destined to face a tragedy after offending an omnipotent expert. ¡°We¡¯ll see. If I can¡¯t escape, I¡¯ll be trapped for a lifetime¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. With the system space, he did not have to worry about his safety. The only problem was how to leave. However, it was still too early to think about this. The most important thing now was to let the auction proceed smoothly. This way, he would be able to obtain more benefits and resources to break through to a higher realm. ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to worry about Brother. We¡¯re going to find my mother. There¡¯ll definitely be a way to leave,¡± said the Qilin as she chewed on a demigod fruit. ¡°Your mother!¡± Xia You was startled as she looked at the Qilin. Wasn¡¯t her mother the Divine Beast Qilin from the ancient era? Was she still alive after so many years? ¡°The Divine Beast Qilin has already passed away, but there are still remnants of her remains in the Daoist Rite Temple,¡± Lin Mo explained as he glared at the Qilin. It had only been a few days, yet this little girl has already started to pour her heart out¡­ ¡°Hey!¡± The Qilin stuck out its little tongue and hid behind Xia You. Hearing this, Xia You sighed. She stretched out her hand, took out an item, and passed it to Lin Mo. ¡°This can save your life at a critical moment ¡­¡± It was a silver talisman that was shining with a dazzling light. The most important thing was that it was surrounded by immortal qi, so one could imagine the value of this thing. ¡°Here, take this. You can use it as capital for the auction.¡± Lin Mo was surprised and kept it in the system space. The results of the appraisal shocked him. [ Quasi-Immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman. It can tear open space with a just thought and cross a hundred states. It can be used three times. Its value is sky-high. ] ¡°You can¡¯t bite off more than you can chew, I¡¯ll go with the stronger martial arts you mentioned,¡± she chuckled and her eyes were filled with sincerity. In the past, when she had worked with Lin Mo, she had a motive. Just like before, she had agreed to control one of the formation cores because she had hoped that the auction would be successful and that she would be able to benefit from it in the end. From what she was saying, she truly hoped that Lin Mo would be able to escape. As long as he could escape, with the auspicious beast by his side, he believed that he would be able to overcome the danger no matter what. ¡°Is this considered as taking care of a fellow villager?¡± Lin Mo saw the sincerity in Xia You¡¯s eyes and teased her. ¡°I just don¡¯t want you to die and have one less opponent in the future.¡± She rolled her eyes at Lin Mo and left with the Qilin. There was an appraisal meeting at a shop today, and she was going to take Qilin there to try her luck. By borrowing the auspicious qi, he might be able to find some treasures there. After watching the two of them leave, Lin Mo continued to look down at Lin City as he muttered to himself. ¡°The wind is rising and the clouds are surging. Let this place become lively¡­¡± Chapter 733 - 733 The Auction That Was Full of Danger 733 The Auction That Was Full of Danger As the matter continued to ferment, more and more people came to Lin City. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the auction came closer. On this day, Lin City was unusually lively, the streets and alleys were filled with people. Even though the auction venue had been expanded once, it still could not accommodate everyone. As a last resort, the people allowed to enter had to be selected. Those with insufficient strength and financial resources were rejected, and this was a helpless move. Even so, the auction house was still packed with people. In order to make room, the private rooms at the front were torn down. Because no one wanted to stand out, those who were pushed to the front were just ordinary people. ¡°I can feel it. Xiao Yun is outside the city. I¡¯ve seen him before. He¡¯s very strong.¡± Before going on stage, Xia You informed Lin Mo that Xiao Yun had already arrived. However, he did not enter the city, as if he could sense danger. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The auction is the most important thing.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Everything had been arranged. There were guards patrolling every place, and they controlled each other¡¯s communication runes. If anything happened to either side, they would alert the others. Next up was the auction that many people were looking forward to. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting. Let the auction begin. I promise that the lowest treasure for today¡¯s auction will be at Level 5 Heaven-class.¡± It was fortunate that they were in the ancient battlefield. If they were in the outside world, he would not have been able to gather so many precious treasures. Each item would surely cause quite a stir when they were brought out. ¡°Let¡¯s cut the chit-chat and start the auction. The first treasure, Level 5 Heaven-class, Glazed Chalcedony.¡± A person dressed as a maidservant walked up from behind. She was carrying a silver plate with special runes covering its aura. When the red cloth was lifted, a brilliant light shone. Glazed Chalcedony was a very rare material for blacksmithing. It was very rare in the outside world and was a treasure that blacksmithing grandmasters constantly searched for. It was a pity that this was the ancient battlefield where countless masters had gathered. Cultivation resources were the first choice here. Unless it was absolutely necessary, not many people were willing to buy these materials. That was the truth. After Lin Mo¡¯s introduction, only a few people were interested. ¡°Heaven-class Level 5 Glazed Chalcedony. Considering that you all lack spiritual stones, we can barter with you. Now, you may start bidding.¡± ¡°A piece of Purple Heart iron,¡± ¡°Two pieces of Nether King Metal.¡± Both bidders were weapon refinement masters. They had gained some fame in the ancient battlefield during this period of time. There were even people on the Hidden Dragon List who went to look for them, just to ask them to help them forge magic weapons. The rest of the people were not interested in the Glazed Chalcedony, so they merely observed the two of them bid. ¡°Ahem¡­ This item is for auction. The seller has just sent a voice transmission saying that if you exchange it with divine pills or divine medicines, you may get it at a much lower price.¡± Lin Mo informed the two of them. The seller didn¡¯t want forging materials, he wanted cultivation resources. ¡°How about a Level 4 Heaven-class divine pill?¡± Said one of the weapon-forging masters. A Level 4 Heaven-grade divine pill was about the same value as a Level 5 weapon forging material. That was, unless it was an extremely precious and rare treasure. ¡°Sure, is the other person willing to raise the price?¡± Lin Mo asked as he tapped the auction hammer. The other party was hesitating, but Lin Mo was not perturbed. After about half a minute, he called out three times and announced the deal. ¡°Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for obtaining the Glazed Chalcedony.¡± He beckoned for the maidservant to leave, and arranged for someone to deliver it to complete the transaction. After all, he was not sure when the auction would be interrupted. It was better to complete the transaction on the spot¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 5 Heaven-grade crafting material, Glazed Chalcedony. ] [ Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-grade crafting material, Blood Essence Jade. ] The Blood Essence Jade contained rich blood qi, and most of the magical weapons refined from it were fiendish and difficult to control. It was useless to him, but he could give it to his subordinates as a reward. After all, the present was different from the past. In the past, he had only brought the Qilin along and didn¡¯t have to worry so much. Now that he had recruited a large number of people, he had to pay attention to their ideas and promise them some benefits. ¡°The next item is a Spiritual Formation Disc, Heaven-grade Level 5. ¡°There¡¯s a complete formation set up on this formation board. It can be activated by injecting spiritual qi.¡± Lin Mo removed the red cloth, revealing a palm-sized jade disc on the silver plate. The jade disc was green in color and there were some light blue patterns on it. It looked quite mystical. ¡°The spiritual formation inside is well preserved. It¡¯s a killing formation.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s activated, it can kill a Level 5 King-realm master. Its power can¡¯t be underestimated. Anyone who is interested, you shouldn¡¯t miss it.¡± After the introduction, Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer, signaling the start of the bidding. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Level 5 Heaven-class martial art technique.¡± ¡°A Level 5 Heaven-class skill.¡± ¡°One level 5 Heaven-class divine pill.¡± Not many people were needed for this Spiritual Formation Disc. After all, everyone who had come here was talented. Those who didn¡¯t have enough talent and strength had already been eliminated in the past year. Those who had stayed and were qualified to attend the auction had their own pride and felt that they did not need to rely on the power of the formation. There were three people who made bids, and the value of the treasures they gave was similar. Upon seeing this, Lin Mo¡¯s soul power surged. He searched the hall and quickly found the seller. After a series of inquiries, Lin Mo finally struck the auction hammer. ¡°After negotiating with the seller, the price of the Heaven-grade Level 5 divine pill is considered higher. Congratulations to this fellow Daoist.¡± The maidservant walked down with the silver plate while the system¡¯s voice echoed in his mind at the same time. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 5 Heaven-grade Spiritual Formation Disc. ] [ Successfully triggered 4000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-grade Spiritual Formation Disc. ] An ordinary formation disk appeared in the system space, but it was of no use to Lin Mo. ¡°The next auction item is a Level 5 Heaven-class divine medicine, Shattered Star Grass.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words caused the deathly silent auction hall to become lively. Everyone raised their heads. A Level 5 Heaven-class divine medicine was a rare cultivation resource, and no one disliked it. ¡°We will be bartering. The seller hopes to obtain a pill recipe and will give priority to it.¡± With that, the moment Lin Mo struck the auction hammer, someone below quickly stood up and announced their bid. ¡°I don¡¯t have the recipe, but a Level 5 Heaven-class divine pill is definitely worth this divine herb.¡± The young man took out a golden pill, which was the envy of many people. ¡°As for the pill recipe, I have a pill recipe for the Tribulation Transcending Pill. Although it¡¯s only a Level 4 Heaven-class, the value of the divine pill it can produce is no less than a Level 5 Heavenclass divine pill.¡± ¡°I have a genuine Heaven-class Level 5 pill recipe here, and its effect is very good¡­¡± ¡°I have a divine healing medicine with endless life force. I¡¯m willing to trade.¡± ¡°¡­¡± There were many people bidding for it. Among them, there were seven pill formulas with different effects. Zhao Tianyu, who was watching from backstage, was salivating. If he could refine all of these divine pills, his understanding of alchemy Dao would reach a higher level. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, fellow Daoist. Your pill recipe has been chosen.¡± Surprisingly, the seller had chosen the pill recipe of the Level 4 Heaven-class Tribulation Transcending Pill, which made many people unhappy. Chapter 734 - 734 Enemies From All Directions 734 Enemies From All Directions However, this was an auction, and they could not blame anyone for not being willing to bid a higher price. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 5 Heaven-class divine medicine, Shattered Star Grass. ] [ Successfully triggered 5000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-class divine medicine, Star Fruit. ] After finally obtaining a useful treasure, Lin Mo¡¯s smile grew wider. He was about to wave his hand and continue the auction. Unexpectedly, the person who had just obtained the Shattered Star Grass began to mock him¡­ ¡°Fellow Daoist? I feel that a person who is about to die is not qualified to be my Dao friend¡­¡± Hearing this, the other people were shocked and retreated some distance. This was the headquarters of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Who would dare to cause trouble here? The Heaven¡¯s Will Physique, the God Devouring Body, and a Qilin were all here. With three top-tier masters overseeing the place, who would dare to come here and cause trouble? ¡°I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s the rat that fled in defeat.¡± The curtain behind the stage was lifted, and the Qilin slowly walked out. Her small face seemed to be covered in frost as she stared at the other party. ¡°One of the four demon generals of the Behemoth Clan, Shentu Luo¡­¡± Lin Mo could sense the other party¡¯s aura through his soul power. It was the Behemoth Clan that had come to his place. These people were secretly plotting to capture the Qilin with a congenital deficiency and obtain its blood. They had set up an ambush, but in the end, two were killed and one had been injured by the Qilin. Now that this fellow was here again, was he planning to interfere with the auction? ¡°What, now that your Molin Chamber of Commerce has opened an auction house, could it be that you want to chase customers away?¡± Shentu Luo¡¯s expression changed slightly. He felt that something was amiss, especially when Qilin and Lin Mo were staring at him with cold eyes. At the same time, there was a powerful aura that seemed to be locked onto him from the back. It was the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. To be able to fight against Xiao Yun, one¡¯s combat strength must be terrifying. If the three of them attacked at the same time, they would be able to kill him with just one move each. ¡°How can that be? I don¡¯t know how to drive away guests, but you Behemoth people don¡¯t actually seem to want to be guests.¡± Lin Mo chuckled as he looked at Shentu Luo. Sword qi began to gather in his hand. ¡°Pfft!¡± Before he could make a move, a blood-colored glow appeared on Shentu Luo¡¯s body. A seal appeared in his hand, which he instantly crushed. ¡°Where should we go?¡± The Qilin immediately rushed out and chased after them. She didn¡¯t have a good impression of the Behemoth Clan. Now that she was able to make a move, she would definitely not waste time speaking nonsense. Seeing this, Lin Mo also gave chase. There were many masters outside the city, and they were not weak. He was worried that the Qilin would be at a disadvantage. The curtain of the auction stage was lifted, and Xia You slowly walked out. ¡°The auction will be temporarily suspended. Everyone, please enjoy the good show¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and made a swiping gesture. The space fluctuated, and the spiritual qi in front of her gathered, turning into a stream of water that condensed into a mirror that floated in the air. Naturally, the scene shown in the mirror was of the scene outside of Lin City. At this moment, the Qilin had already caught up to Shentu Luo. The Chaos Bell appeared and ruthlessly smashed down on Shentu Luo. If this attack struck, Shentu Luo would definitely die. ¡°Bang!¡± As expected, in front of Shentu Luo, a youth in purple-gold robes appeared out of nowhere. He held up the Chaos Bell with one hand, preventing it from smashing down. The Qilin waved her hand, and the spiritual qi above her exploded. The Chaos Bell returned, and the power generated by the explosion sent Shentu Luo flying. As for the young man, he remained floating in the air, his face expressionless. ¡°The information is wrong. You are very powerful, and your bloodline is beyond my imagination¡­¡± The youth frowned as he looked at Shentu Luo in the distance, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. The information he had obtained from the latter was that the Qilin was not that powerful at all, and its bloodline had only reached the level of a Purple Gold Behemoth. Now it seemed that Qilin had tricked them and concealed her true strength. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you kneel and pay your respects, and then get lost?¡± Qilin said coldly as she held the Chaos Bell in her hand. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± Instead of getting angry, the young man laughed. He looked at Lin Mo before looking at the Qilin and said, ¡°The Behemoth Clan¡¯s Shentu Luo, the Purple Gold Behemoth, has prepared a gift for the two of you. Please accept it¡­¡± No one could refuse a Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique, but they also didn¡¯t want to give the God Devouring Body any resources. The price to pay would be too great. It was equivalent to providing resources to the enemy. They would not allow such a thing to happen. ¡°Swish!¡± A ray of light appeared on the horizon, and a giant beast flew over. Its body was like a tiger or a leopard, and it had golden fur. There were wings on its shoulders but it did not spread them, and the long horns on its head were tilted back. ¡°Pixiu¡­¡± This was a type of extremely powerful beast that was on par with the Feiyi and Suan Ni. Other than that, there were other living beings rushing over from the other side. A violent wind blew, and a man stepped on a wind vortex as he arrived. He was covered in light green armor and had a pair of dragon wings. He was capable of controlling the wind element in the world. ¡°Wind Dragon Race¡¯s Feng Xuan!¡± ¡°Roar!¡± It wasn¡¯t over yet. There was also an Earth Dragon that came with Feng Xuan. To be more precise, it was an ancient Earth Dragon. Its appearance caused the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake as if they were about to collapse. ¡°Ancient Earth Dragon, Gu You!¡± Three extremely powerful beasts had arrived, and their combat strength was top-notch. None of them were afraid of Lin Mo, and they were confident in fighting him. ¡°It¡¯s so boring to be surprised just like this¡­¡± As the Shentu Luo spoke, he produced a jade talisman from his hand and crushed it. ¡°Clang!¡± The space cracked open, and a brilliant sword light bloomed. The sword qi that soared to the sky exploded and enveloped the surroundings. ¡°Boom, boom, boom.¡± The surrounding mountains finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and collapsed. Looking carefully, one could see that on the mountainside, there was a mark of a sword cut, the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. One could only imagine how terrifying this person was. He had a thorough understanding of the way of the sword and had mastered the ultimate sword intent. ¡°The Thousand Swords Mountain of the Jian Province, Gu Dufeng!¡± The person introduced himself, saying that he was from the Jian Province, a place famous for its swords. It was said that 80% of the cultivators in this area used swords and were proud of them. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect only accepted sword cultivators. ¡°Shentu, this God Devouring Body is only at the first heaven of the King realm. Are you sure you want us to join forces?¡± Just when everyone thought that there would be no more arrivals, another figure jumped out of the spatial rift. It was an ape with white fur and a golden horn on its forehead. He held a golden iron rod in his hand, and as he waved it, the wind and clouds changed colors. The space seemed to be unable to withstand such power¡­ ¡°Zhu Yan¡­¡± Lin Mo took a deep breath. His heart trembled, but at the same time, he rejoiced. If he had not obtained the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation and allowed others to comprehend the Three God Sword Formation and successfully set it up¡­ Otherwise, there would be rivers of blood in Lin City during the auction today. It would be considered good if even half of the subordinates he had just recruited were left alive. ¡°Don¡¯t expect the Heaven¡¯s Will Body and Mu Yuzhu to make a move. Naturally, they¡¯ll have someone to stop them¡­¡± Shentu Luo smiled lightly. He had planned for this day for a long time. He had invited many masters and promised countless benefits. But even so, the final harvest would have to be split equally and shared with these people. The Behemoth Clan was indeed worthy of their reputation¡­ At the same time, in the auction, Xia You had originally only been observing the show, not wanting to make a move. However, when she saw so many masters appear, she couldn¡¯t help but want to fight them. At the next moment, someone in the auction house crushed a space seal and summoned a person. The person was dressed in white, and his long hair hung loosely behind him. It fluttered even though there was no wind. He held a golden spear in his hand, which brought about a sense of oppression. Xia You smiled, without panicking at all.¡±So, the young Pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion is actually being ordered around by someone else?¡± Chapter 735 - 735 Accepting the Battle 735 Accepting the Battle ¡°The young Pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun¡­¡± Finally, someone had explained after being unable to bear the pressure any longer. This scene was too shocking. Typically speaking, the most exciting scene in the ancient battlefield was the final battle where the strongest master would be determined. That person would be the true number one of the Hidden Dragon List and would receive a mysterious inheritance. That would be the final battle and the most exciting. But now, with so many masters gathered, were they planning to start the war early? ¡°I¡¯m here for you,¡± Ignoring the people around him, Xiao Yun pointed her long spear at Xia You. The two of them were facing off, and the crowd in the auction house was extremely worried. Some people had even fled, not daring to stay. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Once the two of them started fighting, it would become a dimension-lowering attack for them. They didn¡¯t even have the right to watch the battle up close and would surely be killed by the residual power. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in fighting you for now. If you mess around, you¡¯ll pay the price,¡± said Xia You with a smile. The people around her were puzzled by her smiling appearance. Xiao Yun stopped her. Lin Mo and Qilin had no chance of survival against the six masters. At that time, she would not be able to escape the fate of defeat. Why was it that even now, she still did not seem to be flustered, and even looked like she was merely watching a show? ¡°You can bring a Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique to fight¡­¡± Xiao Yun suggested. The reason he had agreed to cooperate with Shentu Luo was because he wanted to fight Xia You and continue the battle that had yet to be decided. However, he could tell that Xia You had some apprehensions, and was probably protecting the auction item. Thus, he restrained himself a little. ¡°Go¡­ I¡¯ll be here.¡± Below the stage, a woman sighed and stood up. There was a maidservant who followed her at all times. ¡°Mu Yuzhu is also going to make a move¡­¡± Everyone was extremely excited. An exciting battle was about to begin, and this made them very hesitant. Should they retreat or not? If they didn¡¯t leave, they would most likely be drawn into the battlefield and die in the wilderness. If they left, they wouldn¡¯t be able to watch the battle up close, which would be their lifelong regret. ¡°There¡¯s still one more person hiding¡­¡± said Xia You as her eyes turned cold. There was still a master hiding in the auction house, and since he was able to fight with Mu Yuzhu, he must have been guarding against her. When Mu Yuzhu stepped forward, that person¡¯s aura had fluctuated, and she had sensed it. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go outside and fight¡­¡± Xia You nodded, and both of them disappeared. As for taking away the auction item, there was no need for that. All the valuable treasures were with Lin Mo, and what was left behind were only the appetizers¡­ ¡°Have they started fighting? It looks like we can¡¯t wait any longer¡­¡± Outside of Lin City, Xiao Yun and Xia You went further and further away as they fought, and eventually entered the deep mountains. Some people with high skills and courage followed them. Shentu Luo laughed lightly and began to attack together with the five masters. They began to encircle Lin Mo and the Qilin. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with the Earth Dragon, Wind Dragon, and the Zhu Yan.¡± The Qilin held the Chaos Bell in her hand and trapped the three people. However, those were three existences with extremely strong combat strength. Although the bloodlines of the Wind Dragon, Earth Dragon, and the Zhu Yan were not as good as hers, and even the Purple Gold Behemoth was not as good as her, the upper limit of the King¡¯s realm battle power was there. In a situation where there was little difference in combat strength, fighting one against three was a rare opportunity to gain experience. Engaging in a battle to one¡¯s heart¡¯s content would be very beneficial for future cultivation. ¡°Be careful¡­¡± Lin Mo warned as he took the initiative to meet them. The Purple Gold Behemoth Slayer, the human swordsman Gu Dufeng, and the murderous Pixiu. The three masters attacked with all their strength without any concealment. ¡°Abyssal Devouring¡± and¡±Sun and Moon in the Same Sky ¡± With a loud shout, Lin Mo activated his two trump cards at the same time, both attacking and defending. The power of the Kun Peng gathered in his hand and the Kun Peng wings on his back spread out. Rays of divine light burst forth and blocked the martial arts technique of his opponent. At the moment, he went all out without worrying about the consumption of spiritual qi at all. The abyss continuously swallowed, weakening the opponent¡¯s attack power and bringing him an endless stream of spiritual qi. ¡°Let¡¯s see if you can swallow it,¡± Shentu Luo sneered and his body suddenly expanded. A purple-gold giant beast smashed down and a huge fist was thrown out. Lin Mo¡¯s palm turned into the Kun Peng claw and struck out. ¡°BOOM!¡± A terrifying fluctuation spread and five bloody marks were left on the fist of the Purple Gold Behemoth, leaving purple blood behind. In the blood, there was a faint red light flashing, which was a higher color¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± The Purple Gold Behemoth roared in pain as it was forced back by the claw. At the same time, Lin Mo¡¯s arm felt numb. His fingers were weak and trembling slightly. Before he could comprehend it, he took nine steps in the air. The Qilin tattoo appeared and ruthlessly struck the Pixiu, landing on the horn on his forehead before exploding with a dazzling light. ¡°Clang!¡± Lin Mo had blocked two attacks but missed Gu Dufeng. The terrifying radiance of the sword slashed down with a sky-collapsing momentum. It was as if the sword was going to split the entire mountain range in half. It spread its wings and wrapped them around Lin Mo, taking the blow head-on. ¡°Die!¡± In front of him, the Purple Gold Behemoth rushed over again, and the impact of hitting the huge fist was like hitting a mountain. He had only just entered the King¡¯s realm, but his physical strength had already reached the peak of the King¡¯s realm. Lin Mo stepped into the void and dodged the attack. When the War Demon Spear appeared, he swept the spear towards Gu Dufeng. ¡°One sword¡­ breaks ten thousand spells!¡± The other party swung his sword to block the light, but he was still hit by the War Demon Spear. The longsword blocked the attack, but did not receive any damage. However, it was pushed back more than 10000 meters. ¡°Pfft!¡± Unable to defend in time, Lin Mo¡¯s back was struck by the Pixiu¡¯s claws, leaving behind several bloody wounds that quickly healed. ¡°It¡¯s three against one, yet you still want to defy the heavens?¡± Shentu Luo sneered. The Purple Gold Behemoth opened its bloody mouth and spat out tens of thousands of rays of light, covering the sky and earth. With a furious roar, all the attacks were directed at Lin Mo. ¡°It is still not known who will win¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed and pointed out two fingers. He activated the Chaotic Point of Yin and Yang and blocked the rain of light. At the same time, it flapped its wings and divine light burst forth, blocking all of the Pixiu¡¯s attacks. The battle was intense, and the people of Lin City who saw this scene were extremely excited. It was hard for everyone to imagine that Lin Mo was not at a disadvantage despite fighting three people at once. He even managed to counterattack. Elsewhere, the Qilin was the same. Her combat strength was heaven-defying, and she held the Chaos Bell in her hand with her back against the Ancient Qilin Tree. When the two Supreme treasures exploded, he actually suppressed three masters by himself. ¡°The Qilin is so powerful¡­¡± Above the city walls, Mao Zhu and the others had come up to watch the battle in shock. ¡°I heard from Lin Mo that the Qilin was born with a congenital deficiency, so its combat strength is usually not obvious. This closed-door cultivation has completely made up for it,¡± said Feng Tian. He was admitting that he was inferior. Among the young masters that he knew, only Lin Mo, Xia You, and Xiao Yun could fight against Qilin. He even felt that Mu Yuzhu might not be able to defeat the Qilin, even though the other party was very mysterious and had never revealed his true combat strength¡­ As everyone was watching the battle, Feng Xuan and the other two felt very sullen. They felt like they couldn¡¯t use their power¡­ ¡°It¡¯s the suppression of the bloodline. Is this the divine beast Qilin¡­¡± Zhu Yan said through gritted teeth. Facing the Qilin, they wouldn¡¯t be able to display their strongest combat strength¡­ Chapter 736 - 736 Full Combat Strength 736 Full Combat Strength This was the difference between them. Although the battle prowess of each cultivation level wasn¡¯t that different, the further one advanced, the greater the difference would be. Unless their bloodline could evolve again and truly reach the level of their ancestors. Perhaps it would be even higher. At that time, he might be able to truly fight with the Qilin. ¡°How arrogant! Even if you have the God Devouring Body, don¡¯t even think about defying the heavens,¡± said the Pixiu coldly. Although he was shocked by the combat strength of Lin Mo and the Qilin, he was not afraid and took the initiative to attack. Both he and Shentu Luo transformed into human forms, which was more convenient for fighting. The Pixiu stomped his feet and golden light exploded in the air, forming all kinds of strange phenomena that pressed down on Lin Mo. The three of them joined forces and combined with the Dao laws. They condensed their power and performed the top martial arts of their respective races. Runes filled the sky. The Pixiu and the Purple Gold Behemoths were very powerful races, and the martial arts techniques they inherited were also very heaven-defying. The runes and the Dao law fused together to produce an extremely powerful force. On the other side, Gu Dufeng did not dare to be slow, knowing that Lin Mo¡¯s combat power was strong. ¡°Hey!¡± The sword radiance was resplendent, and a Chaotic Sword Qi broke through the air. Accompanied by multicolored light, Du Gufeng wielded his sword with both hands and slashed downwards. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were cold and flashed like lightning. He leaped and an ocean appeared under his feet, devouring the attacks of the Purple Gold Behemoth and the Pixiu. The Kun Peng wings on his back flapped, and the sword radiance that filled the sky shattered. Lin Mo raised his hand and thrust out the Demon War Spear, clashing with Gu Dufeng¡¯s divine sword. The tip of the spear faced the tip of the sword, and flames erupted. ¡°My god¡­¡± The people of Lin City were shocked by Lin Mo¡¯s feat. How powerful was this? He was fighting as one against three, yet he was able to receive the other party¡¯s attack head-on without falling into a disadvantage. At that moment, Lin Mo stood between heaven and earth. His every move gave people a feeling of invincibility. ¡°Clang!¡± The sword qi burst out as Gu Dufeng silently chanted an incantation. Runes interweaved, and the sword qi became even more powerful. The divine sword trembled continuously as it began to suppress the War Demon Spear. With its power, the spear became even more powerful. Lin Mo held his spear with one hand and clashed with it. At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, causing another brilliant sword light burst out. The War Demon Spear was pushed back, and Lin Mo raised his hand to block it. At this moment, his palm seemed to have turned into a sharp sword that was indestructible. The sword qi exploded with the Dao Law of Yin and Yang, which was very mysterious. ¡°Bang!¡± The earth trembled, and the ocean under his feet seemed about to collapse. The attacks of the Purple Gold Behemoth and the Pixiu were about to hit him. ¡°Little rascal¡­¡± shouted Lin Mo. A golden light flashed between his fingers and a golden feather appeared. The feathers turned into sharp golden swords and shook off Gu Dufeng¡¯s divine sword. They split into thousands of swords and attacked in all directions. The sound of the sword was deafening. The three of them blocked it, but sparks flew from their bodies as they were pushed back by the sharp sword qi. All of their attacks were blocked, making it difficult for them to approach. The Pixiu, who was slightly weaker among the three, even received a cut from a golden sword. Scarlet blood flowed out, and his face filled with horror. Three against one, yet he was actually injured in advance¡­ ¡°Die!¡± He was furious, and his bloodline burst forth. A rune appeared between his brows, and flames curled around it as it attacked Lin Mo. ¡°Small tricks,¡± Lin Mo sneered. The ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky¡± appeared. His hands contained the power of the Kun Peng which was capable of shattering everything. The symbols were destroyed with a raise of his hand. The Pixiu was already showing signs of fatigue. This was a breakthrough point, and he would not hold back. He threw out a palm and destroyed the symbols, causing the Pixiu to be injured once again. ¡°Hey!¡± All of a sudden, a silver needle that emitted a cold air that flew out from the rune. It was extremely fast and arrived between Lin Mo¡¯s eyebrows in the blink of an eye. It had been dipped in poison and corroded Lin Mo¡¯s protective spiritual qi. At the same time, it passed through the abyss and threatened Lin Mo. This was a high-grade one-time consumable magic weapon. It had been hidden in the talisman by the Pixiui and had successfully ambushed Lin Mo. His moves were ruthless and aimed at the center of his eyebrows. ¡°The three of them joined forces, yet they still launched a sneak attack.¡± On the city wall, Feng Tian and the rest cursed. This Pixiu was truly shameless. The silver needle had been dipped in poison, and judging from its aura, it could probably completely corrode a ninth-tier King into nothingness. Some people sighed and felt that Lin Mo would not be able to dodge it. Even with the Kun Peng¡¯s speed, it was surely not possible to do it. In response, Lin Mo simply smiled. His eyes flickered with a special light. In his eyes, the silver needle was moving very slowly. It was as if it was frozen in the air. This was the ability of the Eye of Martial Arts. He had already seen through it. From an outsider¡¯s point of view, this sneak attack was very good and could not be dodged. However, Lin Mo had the Eye of Martial Arts and could see through everything. He tilted his body slightly, and the silver needle brushed past his body. The silver needle disappeared, and the magic weapon lost its effect. ¡°Eye of Martial Arts¡­¡± The Pixiu was shocked and envious at the same time. It didn¡¯t have such an opportunity when it broke through to the King tier. At the same time, Lin Mo threw out his War Demon Spear. The spear shot out like a dragon, carrying an agile aura as it attacked. ¡°Hurry up and attack!¡± The Pixiu hurriedly spoke, immediately causing Shentu Luo and Gu Dufeng to help. It transformed into its true form and used its powerful body to block the attack of the War Demon Spear. At the same time, Lin Mo was also being attacked. However, in such a high-intensity battle, he had constantly been using martial arts, and the consumption of spiritual qi was almost unable to keep up. ¡°My God Devouring Body can¡¯t hold on any longer. I¡¯ve consumed too much qi¡­¡± Just as he blocked Shentu Luo¡¯s attack, Lin Mo was hit in the back by a sword, and blood splattered. The three of them attacked continuously. In order to not be suppressed, he had been using his martial arts, ¡°Kun Peng Claw¡± and ¡°Nine Qilin Steps¡±. It was precisely because of this that he could always have the upper hand. However, they couldn¡¯t do that now. After the Pixiu had gotten injured, they started to use Heaven-level martial arts. Gradually, Lin Mo began to receive injuries that were difficult for him to recover from. ¡°Hmph, so what if you have the God Devouring Body? The Supreme masters of the human race don¡¯t need any special body constitution,¡± said Gu Dufeng coldly. He held the divine sword in his hand and looked down on everyone. Sword qi burst out and the divine sword slashed down. ¡°Self-Sacrificing Sword!¡± The terrifying sword radiance instantly destroyed the Abyssal Devouring spell. The ocean created by the Kun Peng Art technique was also destroyed. ¡°Dragon Slayer Qi!¡± ¡°Devouring heaven and earth!¡± The three of them had used their strongest killing moves at the same time. Lin Mo was injured, but he remained calm when faced with their attacks. ¡°Eight Demonic Puppets.¡± Eight winds gathered around Lin Mo¡¯s body, and half of the spiritual qi in his body was instantly drawn away. The cost of activating a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique was very high. Facing the sword that came from the sky, his eyes were burning. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s do it together¡­¡± A crazed look appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face. The eight winds were condensed to their maximum and flew out to meet the three attacks. ¡°BOOM!¡± A violent explosion spread, and black energy ripples spread. The sword ray was destroyed, and the purple-gold aura was drowned. The Pixiu¡¯s attack was also defeated. The Eight Demonic Puppets was indeed a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. Once it was used, its power was unimaginable. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Lin Mo coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood. He had exhausted too much of his energy by fully activating the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. In addition to the previous consumption, his combat strength had been reduced sharply¡­ ¡°Roar¡­ Roar¡­¡± A violent roar came from the front. The energy ripples that were still wreaking havoc spread out, and the ground was filled with wolves¡­ Chapter 737 - 737 The Alliance Armys Retreat 737 The Alliance Army¡¯s Retreat Shentu Luo and the Pixiu once again revealed their true forms and resisted this terrifying attack. Even so, both of their huge bodies were covered in blood, which showed how powerful the Eight Demonic Puppets were. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Not far away, a clear and cold voice could be heard. Xia Yu seemed to be like a banished immortal who had descended to the mortal world, surrounded by a maternal aura. As for Xiao Yun, he was nowhere to be seen, causing the hearts of many to skip a beat. ¡°Impossible, it¡¯s impossible for Xiao Yun to be defeated, and it¡¯s even more impossible that he would be defeated so quickly¡­¡± Some people were shocked and unwilling to accept this fact. No matter how strong the Heaven¡¯s Will Body was, it shouldn¡¯t have defeated Xiao Yun so quickly. The two sides must have reached some kind of cooperation. ¡°Use the formation, you can¡¯t fight anymore¡­¡± Xia You opened her mouth and looked at Lin Mo, who was standing unsteadily due to his weakness. Fighting one against three, the consumption of energy was huge. When the Abyssal Devouring was broken, the consumption of the body was too great to activate the Eight Demonic Puppets. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m about to break through¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He had a feeling that he was about to be enlightened after this battle. In this way, fighting one against three was not without any gains. ¡°Big Brother Lin Mo, Big Sister Xia You, quickly use your formation. They¡¯re about to escape.¡± On the other side, the Qilin¡¯s urgent voice could be heard. The three people who were fighting her were suppressed by their bloodlines, and it was difficult to win. Now that she saw Xia You return, she felt that things were not going well and decided to leave. ¡°Three Divine Sword Formation, rise!¡± The three of them gathered in the sky above Lin City, and lines of formation patterns appeared. Three Heaven-class Level 9 magic weapons appeared, and the three of them carried formation flags. A steady stream of spiritual qi gathered. This terrifying scene gave everyone a fright. ¡°Quasi-Saint?¡± The expression on Shentu Luo¡¯s face changed greatly while he was pursuing him. He immediately transformed into a human and a seal appeared in his hand. After crushing it, spatial fluctuations gathered. ¡°If you want to leave, then justleave something behind,¡± sneered Lin Mo. The Three Divine Sword Formation replenished his energy and even forcefully raised his cultivation to the Quasi-Sage stage. At this moment, he could really use the power of a Quasi-Saint. He held a mountain-splitting axe in his hand and hacked down ruthlessly. With a strike from a Saint-to-be, the space was shattered. Shentu Luo spat out blood and raised his hand to block the attack. His right arm was immediately cut off. Blood splattered everywhere as the arm returned to its original form, which was the size of a small mountain. He didn¡¯t have time to retrieve it, and he didn¡¯t dare to stay for long. He used the impact of this attack to fly into the space tunnel and disappeared. At the same time, the Qilin went to look for the Wind Dragon and the Earth Dragon. Seeing that something was wrong, the Zhu Yan had long fled, far away from the range of the formation. Seeing that the Wind Dragon and the Earth Dragon were about to escape, the Qilin held a dark gold dagger in his hand and moved to slash fiercely. ¡°Ah¡­¡± With a shrill cry, the Earth Dragon Gu You lost half of his body and his huge body fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Wind Dragon, Feng Xuan, helped him escape with the remnants of his body. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I didn¡¯t want to destroy Lin City, none of you would be able to escape¡­¡± sighed Lin Mo. Although a pre-Saint was powerful, all of these people had their own tricks, especially Gu Dufeng. At the critical moment, this fellow had slashed at the Pixiu with his sword, preventing it from escaping with the help of the spatial talisman. The Pixiu¡¯s huge body was split apart by Lin Mo, and a wisp of its remnant soul was taken away by the jade talisman. Thus, eliminating it. ¡°Ruthless enough, you¡¯re even willing to lay your hands on your companions.¡± Seeing that his strength was starting to weaken, Lin Mo did not pursue and attack. Instead, he sneered and mocked. ¡°Hmph, this matter is not over¡­¡± Gu Dufeng¡¯s eyes were cold as he stared at Lin Mo, his killing intent surging. In order to escape, he threw out the divine sword and allowed the Pixiu to block the disaster for him, but he was unable to get the divine sword back¡­ ¡°If you want to take revenge, just come¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed and put away the divine sword. He then took the Pixiu¡¯s body and returned to Lin City. There, Qilin, Mao Zhu, and the others were counting their spoils. One of the Purple Gold Behemoth¡¯s arms was the size of a small mountain. It gave off a multicolored light and contained endless essence. In addition, there was also half of the body of an Earth Dragon. This was Dragon meat. Although it was a sub-Dragon, it was still not a bad haul. ¡°Haha, we¡¯re in for a treat tonight,¡± laughed the Qilin. When she saw Lin Mo coming back while carrying the huge body of the Pixiu, her smile became even more radiant. ¡°Pixiu steamed soup, Purple Gold Behemoth barbecue, and Earth Dragon stew. How wonderful.¡± She couldn¡¯t help from drooling as she jumped up and down, with a sweet smile on her face. The people of Lin City were speechless, but they didn¡¯t dare to say anything for fear that they would become the Qilin¡¯s dinner tonight¡­ ¡°Everyone, the farce is over. The auction will continue and the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts will soon appear,¡± Lin Mo called out to everyone after the battle that they had won a complete victory. Moreover, he had obtained a Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Sword, which could be auctioned. He might even get a quasi-immortal artifact in return. Some people¡¯s eyes were burning with passion although no one knew what they were thinking. ¡°Actually, we should have set up the formation outside of Lin City,¡± said the Qilin regretfully as she walked along the road, back at the palace of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. If these people had been caught in the middle of a battle, none of them would have been able to escape. Right now, they had only managed to kill the Pixiu, while the Earth Dragon Gu You had been severely injured. The Purple Gold Behemoth had not been seriously injured, so he had decisively cut off his arm to survive, allowing him to escape. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, they¡¯ll set up the battlefield in Lin City¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and shook his head. These guys were all very smart. Knowing that he had dared to advertise and auction a quasi-immortal level martial art, he must have been prepared, so they had not dared to enter Lin City. It was because he had sensed something from the outside that he was very sensitive to danger. This was especially so for Xiao Yun. The latter had probably known that there was a terrifying formation set up in Lin City, so after fighting with Xia You for a while, he had decisively retreated. ¡°That¡¯s true, it¡¯s more important to defend the base camp.¡± After asking Lin Mo for the Pixiu¡¯s body, the Qilin left the main hall and started a fire in a small courtyard. ¡°When you¡¯re done with the auction, it¡¯ll be almost time to eat.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand and the two of them parted ways. Lin Mo then returned to the auction hall. As soon as he arrived, all the living beings looked at him with fear in their eyes. It could not be helped. Lin Mo had accomplished an impossible feat in a one-on-three battle. In the end, a great battle had unfolded, killing the Pixiu and crushing the enemy, forcing them to flee in a sorry state. ¡°Hehe, there was a small incident. Please don¡¯t take it to heart. Let¡¯s continue the auction.¡± Lin Mo looked at the crowd with a smile and beckoned for the maidservant to come up and continue the auction. ¡°The next item for auction is a Buddhist spell technique, The Secret Technique of the Acalanatha Tathagata.¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised when he saw the item. It had been put up for auction by a Buddhist disciple. The Western Kingdom religion was the only famous religion in the Northern Continent. Only such a large religion would have such a collection of items. ¡°Everyone, please rest assured. This Buddhist disciple is from the Western Heaven Sect. He will use his own secret technique to exchange for the divine pill. You may rest assured about bidding for it,¡± explained Lin Mo, indicating that everyone could bid without worry. ¡°A Level 7 Heaven-class spell technique, the secret technique of the Acalanatha Tathagata. The auction begins now.¡± As the auction hammer fell, the auction officially began. Many of the living beings who had received the guarantee also began to bid. They were very interested in the secret techniques of Buddhism. ¡°I¡¯ll offer three Level 6 Heaven-class divine pills.¡± ¡°One heaven class Level 7 divine pill.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 738 - 738 Dao Spiritual Pill 738 Dao Spiritual Pill Lin Mo smiled and nodded as he looked at the people below the stage who were bidding. The highest bid had already reached two Heaven-class Level 7 divine pills. As the number of people bidding decreased, Lin Mo struck the hammer for the first time. ¡°Is there anyone else who is willing to bid?¡± Some of them were still hesitating. Two Heaven-class Level 7 divine pills could allow them to break through to the first level of cultivation. He was reluctant to trade it away. ¡°Bang!¡± The auction hammer struck the second and third time, and the final price was two Heaven-grade Level 7 divine pills. ¡°Congratulations, fellow Daoist,¡± said Lin Mo with a smile. At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Seventh Level Heaven-class Buddhist Spell Technique, the Acalanatha Secret Technique. [ Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the remnants of the Buddhist martial art, Five Moves of Ancient Buddha. ] He had thought that it would be an ordinary Buddhist spell technique, but who would have thought that the treasure would have no grade? ¡°System, what is the grade of the complete volume of the Five Moves of Ancient Buddha?¡± Lin Mo could not help but ask. He had a feeling that the martial arts that he would receive this time would not be inferior to the few books that he had derived from the Kun Peng Art techniques¡­ [ The peak of the Quasi-Immortal Level, consists of five moves combined into one. Its power is comparable to an Immortal Level martial arts. ] ¡°It¡¯s this strong?¡± Hearing this, he was quite shocked and flipped through the incomplete book. However, he was not very satisfied with the result. There was only one style in the incomplete volume, which was almost at the Quasi-Immortal Level. In terms of power, it was only slightly stronger than ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky.¡± ¡°I also want to find an opportunity to get the remaining four moves in the future.¡± Although it was incomplete, Lin Mo was still very satisfied. He called the maidservant up and continued the auction of the next treasure. ¡°Next is a divine medicine. This medicine is a little unique. Under normal circumstances, it can¡¯t be used for cultivation.¡± Lin Mo lifted the red cloth and a pungent smell of blood filled the air. Divine medicine should have been sacred which exuded a delicate fragrance that could heal the wounds of the great Dao. However, the one in front of him had a completely different aura. It was not divine, but evil¡­ ¡°This is a divine medicine of the poison attribute, Sky Poison Grass. It¡¯s extremely poisonous. Even a Quasi-Saint wouldn¡¯t dare to take it.¡± ¡°However, everything has its pros and cons. As long as you consume this sky poison grass, its powerful energy will help you reach the eighth heavenly layer.¡± This was the effect of the Sky Poison Grass, which could help people break through. By relying on this method to break through, one would dissolve all of one¡¯s Dao laws and attributes, causing one¡¯s entire body to be filled with poison. One¡¯s poison techniques would become extremely powerful, and wherever the person went, not even a blade of grass would grow. With such great benefits, its side effects would not be small either. After consuming it, the poison of the Sky Poison Grass would spread in the body. As long as one could resist it, they would be like a fish leaping over the dragon¡¯s gate to obtain an extraordinary talent. However, if one could not withstand the poison, one would die from the poison and the Sky Poison Herb would be rendered useless. Also, this kind of poison could even affect one¡¯s soul. There would be no way to save the person, not even with the use of the jade talisman of the Hidden Dragon List¡­ ¡°Heaven-class Level 8 Sky Poison Grass, the trade will be conducted through bartering. The auction now begins.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. The Sky Poison Herb was also put up for auction, but not many people were interested in it. That was because they all knew the danger of this thing in front of them. Although the benefits were also very high, no one was willing to take the risk. As long as they cultivated normally, they would be able to reach the Eighth Heaven of the King realm. They might even be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. There was no need to risk any of their lives for a quick breakthrough. ¡°Although this thing brings many benefits, it is too dangerous¡­¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯m willing to offer a Level 7 Heaven-class divine medicine. If we can make a deal, then we¡¯ll trade.¡± A young man stood up. After struggling with this dilemma for a while, he decided to take the risk and try. However, he didn¡¯t have many treasures on him. A;; he had was a Level 7 Heaven-class divine medicine. Furthermore, it did not have any roots and could only be consumed once. It could not be planted. ¡°This¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. The Sky Poison Herb was still very popular in the outside world because it could turn ordinary people into masters. However, those who were allowed to enter the ancient battlefield were all masters, so naturally, they did not need this. ¡°The seller has asked you to add a little more,¡± said Lin Mo. The other party also knew that the Sky Poison Grass could not be sold for a good price, but he still wanted to earn more. ¡°At most, I can add one more Level 5 Heaven-class divine medicine,¡± said the young man. This was his final price. If it still wasn¡¯t enough, then he might as well reject it. ¡°Okay, deal.¡± Surprisingly, Lin Mo very quickly received a response, and the auction of this item was closed. The Sky Poison Herb had been auctioned off at such a low price. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 8 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Sky Poison Grass. [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Divine Medicine, Ten Thousand Poison Flower. ] It was an expected return of 10000 times. After all, a great loss had been suffered from the Sky Poison Herb and did this not match its value. However, to Lin Mo, the Ten Thousand Poison Flower¡¯s only function was to devour that massive power. Other than that, it had no other use. He didn¡¯t need the Ten Thousand Poison Flower to make a break through, and he didn¡¯t want to be covered in poison. Therefore, he could only use his God Devouring Body to devour and refine the boundless spiritual qi in his body. ¡®It¡¯s a pity that we can¡¯t auction it off. It would be bad if we end up benefiting the enemy¡­¡¯ sighed Lin Mo. The Ten Thousand Poison Flower had the same function as the Sky Poison Grass. It could help people break through to the next realm and cultivate poison techniques. The difference was that the Sky Poison Grass could help one break through to the Eighth Heaven layer of the King realm, while the Ten Thousand Poison Flower could help one break through to the Quasi-Saint realm¡­ ¡°The next auction item is a Level 7 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Ice Attribute Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus.¡± This was a rare treasure. Although it was only at the Heaven-grade Level 7, its value was incalculable. If there was an Ice-Attribute cultivator present, he would bid for it even if he had to use a Heaven-class Level 9 divine pill. ¡°Let the auction begin. Everyone can start bidding.¡± There was no need to introduce the treasures, as everyone knew their effects and value. ¡°One Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pill,¡± said a woman. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the stage with desire. ¡°Hmph, two Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pills.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bid three¡­¡± There were many people bidding, and some people even took out martial arts that were close to the Quasi-Immortal Level to participate in the bidding, shocking the crowd. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pill. Of course, my divine pill is very valuable.¡± Just then, a young man had stood up. He had an ordinary appearance and belonged to the type that would not be found in a crowd. However, he attracted everyone¡¯s attention and took out a suet jade bottle from his storage ring. The bottle opened, and starlight bloomed. The auction hall was instantly covered in a layer of starlight. With the dense power of the stars surrounding them, everyone felt their fatigue swept away and they had never felt so happy before. Some of the more talented people even felt the spiritual qi in their bodies stir after seeing the starlight, showing a faint trend of rising. This included Lin Mo. He felt the spiritual qi in his body rising, and the black hole in his qi center that was formed by the God Devouring Body emitted a desire for spiritual qi. He was already on the verge of a breakthrough, so this feeling was even more obvious. ¡°This is a Dao spiritual pill¡­¡± exclaimed Zhao Tianyu, who was sitting at the front. He was a master of alchemy and had a very high level of knowledge about divine pills. After smelling the scent, he confirmed the name of the divine pill. ¡®That¡¯s right. This is the Dao Spiritual Pill. Although it¡¯s a Level 8 Heaven-class, its value is comparable to Level 9 Heaven-class. Chapter 739 - 739 Broken Moon Sword 739 Broken Moon Sword ¡°The Dao Spiritual Pill is made from the Dao Spiritual Fruit as the main ingredient. The effect is to let people comprehend the Dao.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. To him, the value of a Dao Spiritual Pill was comparable to three Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills. Even if he had it, he would not auction it and would choose to consume it directly. If he cultivated all the treasures he had obtained from the auction, he might be able to catch up to the Qilin and the others in terms of cultivation level. ¡°Deal, I¡¯ll exchange it for this Dao Spiritual Pill,¡± said Lin Mo, giving a nod as he announced the results. This made many people unhappy, but they didn¡¯t dare to say anything. All they could do was sigh helplessly. Some of the ice-attribute cultivators looked at the young man with hostility. Perhaps they had already decided to secretly kill this person after leaving Lin City and snatch the Ice Attribute Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. ¡°Hmph,¡± he snorted. Hmph! Sensing the gazes of the crowd, the young man harrumphed coldly and returned to his seat. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 7 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, Ice-attribute Level 7 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 9 Heaven-grade Divine Medicine, a Level 9 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. ] The rebate was still the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus, and it was a ninth-grade one with no attributes. Therefore, all cultivators could absorb it for cultivation. Lin Mo was extremely excited about this. This treasure was comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Level Ten Thousand Poison Flower, or perhaps it was even more precious¡­ ¡°The auction continues¡­¡± He nodded with a smile, and the auction continued. Divine medicines, divine pills, magical weapons, and other treasures were auctioned off one after another. As a result, Lin Mo obtained many precious treasures, the amount of them gradually increasing. Some of them even gave him Level 9 Heaven-class weapons with great power. ¡°The next item is a magic weapon.¡± At the end of the auction, a divine sword appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. The divine sword glowed with a green light, and its sharp sword qi swept across the area, causing many living beings to be shocked. When Lin Mo took out the divine sword, everyone¡¯s expression changed. Some people even cried out in surprise. ¡°This is the sword of the No. 1 favorite of the Jian province, Gu Dufeng. It¡¯s a Level 9 Heaven-class and is in excellent condition. It¡¯s called Wind Chimes. ¡°The auction will now begin. Those who are interested, please make your bid. He smiled at the crowd, but not many dared to look him in the eye. Was he kidding? This was the sword belonging to Du Gufeng. Apart from the fact that he was still alive, even if he was dead, there were not many people who would dare to take his sword. The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was a terrifying sect. If they really took it, it would bring disaster to the sect behind them. ¡°Is no one willing to bid? Even if you offer a low price, I¡¯m willing to sell it,¡± said Lin Mo as he tapped the auction hammer. His words were extremely tempting. He was willing to sell it at a low price. This was an excellent opportunity to pick up a bargain. This time, many people were tempted and hesitated. ¡°I¡¯ll take it. A Heaven-class Level 7 Divine Pill,¡± said someone. To everyone¡¯s surprise, it was the young man who had bought the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. He seemed to have an average appearance, and his cultivation level was slightly low. There was nothing outstanding about him. Lin Mo was also curious about this. Was this guy not afraid of being targeted? Or could it be that he was fearless and was very confident in his own strength, or he had a backer behind him¡­ ¡°If no one else is bidding, this divine sword will belong to this fellow Daoist.¡± Lin Mo struck the auction hammer once more, wanting to see if anyone was willing to take the risk and buy the divine sword. Unfortunately, reason triumphed over greed. No one was bidding. The young man successfully picked up the treasure and obtained the divine sword. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Sword, Wind Chimes. ] [ The system compensated for the heavy losses incurred during the auction, triggering a 25000-fold rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Magical Weapon, Broken Moon Sword. ] In the system space, a bright sword light bloomed, and a long, moon-white sword fell from the sky. He stabbed it into the Fire Spirit Lake. Seeing this, Lin Mo was extremely excited. Finally having obtained a Quasi-Immortal Level magical treasure, his consciousness entered the system space. He tried to pull out the Broken Moon Sword. However, it became awkward because he could not pull it out¡­ ¡°System, what¡¯s going on? I can¡¯t use this Broken Moon Sword?¡± Lin Mo said hurriedly. The situation that he had been worried about had actually appeared. This was also the reason why he had not been willing to auction off the War Demon Spear. [ A Quasi-Immortal Level Magical Weapon. The spirit of this weapon has spiritual intelligence. Although the host has been recognized, the host must have at least the cultivation of a Saint to use it. ] Lin Mo was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was only at the first Heaven Level of the King realm and was still a long way from reaching the Saint realm. If one wanted to break through, no matter how intelligent one was, no matter how rich one¡¯s resources were, it would still take five to six years. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I didn¡¯t sell the War Demon Spear earlier¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. At the same time, he felt quite thankful. If he had obtained a treasure that he could not use much earlier, he would have been extremely depressed¡­ ¡°Alright, next up is the third last auction item. ¡°Similarly, it¡¯s also the treasure that everyone here is looking forward to the most. It¡¯s a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and a scroll appeared in his hand. There was an inexplicable aura on it. The scroll was very mysterious, and he didn¡¯t know what material it was made of. There was no need for him to introduce the item. The crowd was already in an uproar and many hidden auras were now exposed. Some creatures were shocked. Through observation, they found that there were more than a dozen Hidden Dragon masters. Perhaps, if Lin Mo had not shown his might and the formation of Lin City had not been activated, these people might have made a move. The Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Techniques were top-notch even in their respective sects. In some large sects, only the Holy Sons, the personal disciples of the elders, and a few others were capable of cultivating it. This was too precious. Even Mu Yuzhu and Xia You, who were backstage, had come out. They were also very curious about the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, which was the inherited martial arts technique of the Wind Spirit Sect. ¡°There are two Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts techniques in this auction. They will be auctioned one after the other. ¡°Now, let the bidding begin. The highest bidder will win.¡± As the auction hammer fell, the whole place was filled with heated discussions. A few Hidden Dragon List masters were having a discussion. They planned on buying it as a joint venture and studying it together. Lin Mo was not in a hurry and waited for the others to start bidding. ¡°Five Heaven-class Level 9 Divine Pills.¡± Someone made a tentative bid. Five Divine Pills were extremely precious cultivation resources. Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to take it out. There were countless opportunities in the ancient battlefield, but they were also accompanied by danger. Cultivation resources were what everyone needed¡­ If it wasn¡¯t for the Quasi-Immortal Martial Arts Techniques on the stage, they wouldn¡¯t have been so generous¡­ ¡°Five divine pills and ten divine herbs, seven of Level 7 Heaven-realm and three of Level 8 Heaven-realm.¡± ¡°One Level 9 Heaven-realm weapon, four divine pills, two Level 9 Heaven-realm divine herbs, one Level 8 Heaven-realm divine tree, and one hundred divine fruits.¡± The prices were getting higher and higher, and Lin Mo was very tempted. Lin Mo was especially excited over the last one, the divine tree. If he could get it, he would auction it off in the next auction. If he was lucky, he might even get another Quasi-Immortal Level Immortal Tree¡­ ¡°At the moment, I¡¯m optimistic about this fellow Daoist¡¯s price. The divine tree has moved my heart,¡± said Lin Mo as he tapped the auction hammer. Chapter 740 - 740 Young Master White Fox 740 Young Master White Fox Many of the masters were anxiously discussing amongst themselves. Some of them took out their jade talismans and contacted their backers to seek help. There were also some people who chose to wait and see, because it was rumored that the finale of this auction was the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture. Even though they knew that it was fake, Lin Mo had never refuted it. The two Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts could not be the final item. This last treasure would be worth their wait¡­ ¡°Since no one else is bidding, I¡¯ll have to congratulate this fellow Daoist.¡± The auction hammer fell and Lin Mo announced the result of the auction. After the transaction, the other party left with the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique. Other than that, dozens of people left the hall quietly. Needless to say, he knew where they had gone. Killing people for treasures was a common occurrence among cultivators. ¡°Little girl, please go and help protect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce,¡± Lin Mo sent a voice transmission to the Qilin, who was idle at the back, to protect the person who had successfully won the auction. ¡°I¡¯m comprehending the Dao, let someone else¡­¡± What he got in reply was Qilin¡¯s extremely perfunctory words. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s face darkened. This little girl was clearly roasting meat in the backyard. She was roasting the arm of the Purple Gold Behemoth. Dao enlightenment? Who comprehended Dao in this way? ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll go¡­¡± Xia You laughed out loud and transmitted a message to Lin Mo before her figure immediately disappeared. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Quasi-Immortal Level Movement Martial Arts Technique, Full Moon Step. [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Quasi-Immortal Level Movement Martial Art, Nine Heavens Moon-Stepping Footwork. ] It was actually a movement martial arts technique¡­ Hearing the system¡¯s voice, Lin Mo was shocked. It was a Quasi-Immortal Level movement martial arts technique. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he already had the Kun Peng¡¯s technique, he might not have been able to resist cultivating it immediately¡­ ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to the next book¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and took out another Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique. However, everyone was feeling a little worried at the moment. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lin Mo, not daring to speak. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He was a little dazed. Everything had been fine just now. Why were these people suddenly so afraid of him? ¡°Lord Lin Mo, just now, Lord Xia You suddenly disappeared.¡± Someone in the audience reminded him. Hearing this, Lin Mo finally reacted. It turned out that these people thought that he would not truly be auctioning off the quasi-immortal level martial arts and asked Xia You to follow the people who obtained them. The moment they left Lin City, they would then rob and eat them¡­ ¡°Everyone is overthinking¡­¡± He shook his head helplessly and the War Demon Spear appeared. With a sweep of the spear, the space in front of him shattered. On the other side of the space, there was a scene full of bloodshed happening. The ones who were auctioning off the ¡°Full Moon Steps¡± were three masters on the Hidden Dragon List, and they were all ranked in the top one hundred. Even so, they were besieged and were on the verge of defeat. Just as the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts techniques were about to be snatched away, Xia You quickly rushed over. With a wave of her hand, the Divine Chains of Order broke through the air and instantly caused a living being to explode. Countless pairs of eyes stared at the shattered space. In just a few dozen moves, Xia You had killed all the people who had besieged her. The three people who had been saved were trembling in fear. As they looked at Xia You, their thoughts were the same as those in the auction hall. ¡°Hurry up and set up the teleportation formation. I¡¯ll protect you guys for a while,¡± Xia You slowly said. The space automatically closed up and was repaired by the power of heaven and earth. However, the people in the auction hall all heaved a sigh of relief, especially the few masters who were planning to bid for the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique. ¡°After all, it¡¯s a treasure that¡¯s being auctioned here. If it¡¯s snatched the moment we leave Lin City, wouldn¡¯t that be a slap to my face?¡± Lin Mo smiled. After giving an explanation, he took the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique in his hand. ¡°This is still the inheritance of the Wind Spirit Sect, a Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique. Let¡¯s start the auction. ¡°Seven divine pills¡­¡± ¡°Eight¡­¡± The price was even higher than the previous one because it was guaranteed that one could really get a Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique. The price continued to rise until it reached ten Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills. Such a price intimidated many people. The price was too high. Ten Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills, how many ruins would they have to explore to get them? ¡°Ten Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills, is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and realized that the bidders were not that strong. His soul power could not be wrong. Although this man in front of him was a little powerful, he was still far from the Hidden Dragon List. Would such a person be able to defend the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique in the future? Taking ten thousand steps back, would this guy be able to take out ten Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills? ¡°Since no one else is bidding, then this Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique will belong to this fellow Daoist.¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and looked at the young man while secretly feeling doubtful. ¡°My Lord, please wait¡­¡± The young man was a little nervous under Lin Mo¡¯s gaze, and he fumbled for a formation flag. Spatial fluctuations emanated from the flag. This was a simple spatial teleportation formation. ¡°My Lord is Young Master White Fox of the Demon State. He ordered me to come and participate in the auction.¡± As soon as he said that, countless creatures in the hall were shocked. ¡°It¡¯s Young Master White Fox. I heard that he has a one-in-a-million demon body, the Heavenly Demon Body. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even the divine beasts of the ancient era might not be able to awaken the Heavenly Demon Body.¡± Some people thought of the Qilin, which was the only divine beast in the world. They wondered who would be stronger if they were to fight with the Heavenly Demon Body. ¡°Young Master White Fox?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. Judging by the crowd¡¯s reaction, they had to be from the demon race. However, he did not know the specific information. Zhao Tianyu, who was not far away, quickly explained to Lin Mo through voice transmission. ¡°The Demon State is huge and is the largest state in the Northern Continent. It takes up one-tenth of the land in the Northern Continent.¡± ¡°What did you just say?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. How was that possible? The Demon State occupied one-tenth of the 3000 states in the Northern Continent. Then how strong was the ruler of this region? ¡°That¡¯s normal. That¡¯s the territory of the demonic beasts. You could say that the entire demonic race in the Northern Continent is in the Demon State. ¡°The demonic beast races there are deeply rooted and intertwined, forming a huge net. They keep each other in check and occupy the Demon State.¡± After listening to Zhao Tianyu¡¯s explanation, Lin Mo finally understood. As for this Young Master White Fox, he was a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of the Demon State. He had awakened the Heavenly Demon Body and had been born with nine tails¡­ It could even be said that his talent was even higher than Xiao Yun¡¯s¡­ Soon, the formation flags tore open space and ten balls of light flew out, shining with dazzling golden light. ¡°They¡¯re here¡­¡± Lin Mo raised his hand and put away the ten Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills. After confirming that there was no mistake, he threw out the Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique book and flew into the space channel. This moment also put an end to any idea of robbery in the other people¡¯s minds. Moreover, he was the Young Master White Fox¡¯s subordinate. Although his status wasn¡¯t very high, not many people would dare to touch him. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, Nine Breaking Flowing Clouds. ] [ Successfully triggered 7000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, Three Wonders of the Grand Pure One¡± ] This was an attack-type martial art. It was quite powerful and was not any weaker than the Eight Demonic Puppets he cultivated. After keeping the reward, Lin Mo took out an ancient scripture. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on it. They wanted to see if it was the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture¡­ Chapter 741 - 741 Immortal-Level Scriptures of Enlightenment 741 Immortal-Level Scriptures of Enlightenment ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disappoint all of you, but the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture that was passed down a long time ago doesn¡¯t exist.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words left everyone dumbfounded and in disbelief. There were even some whose eyes were red as they stared at Lin Mo. In order to wait for the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture, they had not bid on any other treasures before this. They had been waiting for this moment. But this ended up being the final result¡­ For a moment, the hall was filled with complaints. Although no one dared to cause trouble, they did not look upon Lin Mo kindly. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. If it really was the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture, could you afford it?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s expression was calm as he looked at them. The Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture was already a top-notch spell technique in the world. It contained a Dao law that had been cultivated to the extreme. Whoever could master it would become an Emperor-to-be in the future, just like the Kun Peng Art technique. Such a heaven-defying cultivation method, if they wanted to bid for it, how much would they have to pay? ¡°Lord Lin Mo, may I ask, what is the item in your hand?¡± Someone asked after gathering up his courage. Everyone was very curious. A treasure that Lin Mo had chosen as the final item would definitely not be bad. At the very least, it wouldn¡¯t be worse than a Quasi-Immortal Level martial art. ¡°This was left behind by the sect master of the Wind Spirit Sect. He hadn¡¯t broken through to the Great Emperor realm yet and was only at the peak of the Emperor-to-be realm,¡± explained Lin Mo. Everyone quickly understood and their eyes turned red. They stared greedily at the scripture in Lin Mo¡¯s hands. A scripture left behind by a great emperor, and it was to help the sect master of the Wind Spirit Sect to comprehend Dao and comprehend the opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor realm. At the same time, many people fell silent, not daring to bid anymore. This scripture was too precious. It would lead to a war between emperors-to-be, and the power structure of the Northern Continent would change. Ordinary cultivators were not qualified to participate, even if you were a Ninth Heaven Absolute Saint and a half-step Emperor-to-be¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not as good as the Great Emperor ancient scripture. However, the danger it brings is even more terrifying than the Great Emperor ancient scripture¡­¡± Some people sighed and didn¡¯t dare to bid anymore. The Emperor-to-be had his own cultivation technique and was familiar with the Dao laws that he had cultivated for many years. The Great Emperor ancient scripture was not very attractive to them unless they wanted to cultivate it again. However, this scripture was different. It could make any Emperor-to-be lose their self-control and forget their own self-respect just to fight for it. ¡°We¡¯re still bartering. Everyone, those who are interested can start bidding¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled. He knew what these guys were afraid of. What did the battle between the Emperors-to-be have to do with him? It just so happened that these Emperors-to-be were busy fighting and didn¡¯t have the mood to trouble him and Qilin. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, I¡¯ll bid on behalf of Young Master White Fox. I¡¯m willing to give you a Quasi-Immortal treasure on credit,¡± said the young man from before. He was the Young Master White Fox¡¯s subordinate. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan definitely had a Quasi-Emperor. If the Young Master White Fox could bring him out of the ancient battlefield, it would be a great merit¡­ ¡°Can we settle it in the ancient battlefield?¡± Lin Mo asked. He was very tempted by the Quasi-Immortal treasure. If the time of the credit wasn¡¯t long, he would be willing to wait for a while. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my Lord hasn¡¯t found such a heaven-defying opportunity yet¡­¡± sighed the young man. It was obvious that he would be going to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to get the treasure. But could Lin Mo go? Perhaps the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was eager for Lin Mo to bring the Qilin over. If they were both suppressed at the same time, both of the techniques of the Qilin and the Kun Peng could be obtained at the same time. The two inheritances that were comparable to the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scriptures would make the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan prosper. ¡°What good luck. I thought it was only a fragment of the Great Emperor¡¯s ancient scripture, but this is an unexpected result¡­¡± The door of the hall was pushed open, and a woman strode in arrogantly. The woman was extremely beautiful, different from Xia You¡¯s indifference. She had a trace of arrogance on her face, and she was dressed in golden armor, like a female martial god. Lin Mo found out the identity of the person in front of him after hearing the discussions around him. This was Tang Ru, the seventh Princess of the Holy Blood Dragon Clan! She was a true expert. It was rumored that she had fought with Xiao Yun, but the outcome was unknown. No one had seen that battle. ¡°An important guest has arrived¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. This was a powerful existence. The Holy Blood Dragon Clan could be said to be the most powerful sub-Dragon in history. There were even rumors that the seventh Princess would take the last step to become a divine beast true Dragon. ¡°I can¡¯t call you an important guest. How much are you selling this scripture for?¡± Tang Ru¡¯s words made many people¡¯s expressions change. The Young Master White Fox¡¯s subordinate was holding a jade talisman and sending messages continuously. There were a few others who were doing the same, sending out messages and asking for help. ¡°There¡¯s no one bidding at the moment, so you can just say what you want.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. No matter the price, as long as the system acknowledged it, he would sell it. As for making a loss, that was impossible. The system¡¯s compensation would only allow him to obtain greater opportunities. ¡°Then I¡¯ll bid one Dao Spirit Fruit Tree. How about it?¡± Tang Ru continued to smile proudly. If he could really get it, he would have really picked up a big bargain this time¡­ ¡°Is it a Quasi-Immortal Level Dao Spirit Fruit Tree?¡± Lin Mo asked. The Dao Spirit Fruit was a Heaven-grade Level 9 divine fruit, and its fruit tree was at least of a Quasi-Immortal grade. If they didn¡¯t reach the Quasi-Immortal level, they would need to spend thousands of years to evolve. Lin Mo did not have that much time to wait. ¡°It¡¯s just one step away, but it¡¯s already bearing fruit. If you put it in the Blessed Grotto Heaven and feed it with spiritual stones, it¡¯ll evolve in one or two years. Tang Ru extended her hand and an ancient tree that was two meters tall flew towards the auction stage. The ancient tree bore eleven unripe fruits, and wisps of fragrance lingered around it. There were some strange and mysterious runes on the tree. Just a glance at it made one feel the urge to cultivate on the spot. It was said that cultivating under the Dao Spirit Fruit Tree could yield twice the result with half the effort, and the comprehension of the Dao law could also be faster¡­ ¡°Good stuff¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. He really wanted to close the deal. If he nurtured the Dao Spirit Fruit Tree slightly, he would be able to obtain 11 Dao spirit fruits. This deal was not a loss and could be done. ¡°Everyone, if you are not willing to bid, then this scripture will belong to Miss Tang Ru.¡± Without any delay, he tapped the auction hammer. Hearing this, all the living beings could only shake their heads bitterly. If they had wanted to bid, they would need a Quasi-Immortal treasure. However, how could they get such a treasure? ¡°Since no one else is bidding, this scripture will then belong to Miss Tang Ru,¡± said Lin Mo as he announced the results of the auction. He threw the scripture to Tang Ru and put the Dao Spirit Fruit Tree away. The auction was now over. Lin Mo could not wait to hear the system¡¯s voice. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the incomplete Immortal-level Path-Understanding Scriptures. ] [ This auction has incurred a huge loss. The system will compensate for it, triggering a 100000-fold rebate¡­ ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Immortal-Level Scriptures of Enlightenment. ] ¡°A hundred thousand times¡­¡± Lin Mo swallowed his saliva and suppressed the excitement in his heart to calm himself down. Even so, his body was still trembling slightly. The Immortal Level Scriptures of Enlightenment, and the complete version at that. Perhaps it could help an Emperor-to-be break through to the Great Emperor realm? ¡°Calm down¡­ This thing can not be exposed¡­¡± After taking a dozen deep breaths, Lin Mo finally controlled his emotions and tried his best to calm himself down. ¡°This auction has ended. Everyone, please return¡­¡± After saying that, he called Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian over, allowing them to take care of the trivial matters that would follow. As for himself, he immediately entered the system space. He did not want to stay for even a moment longer¡­ Chapter 742 - 742 Farewell 742 Farewell ¡°Immortal-level Scriptures of Enlightenment, can I read them¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart was in a little bit of turmoil. He could see the incomplete version and even gain some insights from it. However, it was hard to say about the complete version. He could not understand the complicated and obscure runes at all¡­ In the system space, Lin Mo cultivated patiently and observed slowly. At the same time, he had swallowed a lot of the divine pills and divine medicines that he had gotten from the auction. A black hole with him as the center enveloped the entire Fire Spirit Lake. Like a whale gulping down water, it devoured the energy of heaven and earth in a frenzy. The divine medicine gradually withered and lost its essence. One by one, the energy of the divine pills was devoured, and their divinity disappeared, turning into dust. After spending a day and a night, his realm, which had already been loosened, broke through smoothly. During this period of time, he finally understood the first line of runes in the Scripture of Enlightenment¡­ This gave him an epiphany. The circulation speed of the God Devouring Technique increased, and the speed of devouring energy more than doubled. In about three days, he broke through and reached the third Heavenly layer of the King realm. At this point, he had completely digested this line of runes. His mind was in turmoil and he was very shocked. ¡°Xia You and the others can not look at these too much, it will affect their future. However, I¡¯m different¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. The future cultivation path of the God Devourer Body was basically fixed and difficult to change. Comprehending the scriptures would not affect him. It would only bring him benefits, which made him extremely excited. In the future, he wouldn¡¯t have to worry about being left behind by Qilin and the others. ¡°Oh, right. I still have to fulfill my promise¡­¡± He suddenly recalled that Xia You and Mu Yuzhu were still waiting to receive the remuneration for this cooperation. After leaving the system space, he walked from the main hall to the back. In a small courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of meat. ¡°F*ck, I forgot about this¡­¡± Only now did he remember the Pixiu¡¯s corpse, the arm of the Purple Gold Behemoth, and half of the Earth Dragon¡¯s body. These were all very rare precious flesh medicine, and their effects were comparable to divine medicine. During the auction, the Qilin had been fiddling with these spoils of war. He had been in seclusion for three days, so he didn¡¯t know if there would be any left¡­ ¡°Eh, Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯ve come out of your seclusion ¡­¡± In the small courtyard, Qilin was holding a bowl of broth in one hand and a large skewer of roasted meat in the other. She was eating happily. The Pixiu¡¯s body was very big, so they had held a party that lasted three days. She had thought that Lin Mo would miss it, but he had managed to make it in time¡­ ¡°So hasty¡­¡± Lin Mo smacked his forehead and ran over to pick up a skewer of barbecued meat. He picked up the wine jar on the ground and took a big gulp. He felt the fragrance in his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face. ¡°You guys are so mean. Why didn¡¯t you wait for me¡­¡± As he ate, he complained about how these people had done him wrong. ¡°Who asked you to go into seclusion¡­¡± said Xia You as she covered her mouth and chuckled. The ivory chopsticks in his hand reached into the cauldron, picked up a slice of the Pixiu meat, and put it into his bowl. ¡°That¡¯s right, this is the reward I promised you¡­¡± After finishing a skewer of meat, Lin Mo waved his hand and threw out two scrolls. They were all one-time uses that could be triggered by the soul and merged into the sea of consciousness. It was similar to being enlightened, and one didn¡¯t need to cultivate hard to learn it directly. Of course, if one wanted to master it, one would still need a long time to get used to it. ¡°One of them is the Nine Heavens Moon-Stepping Footwork, and the other is an attack-type martial arts technique Three Wonders of the Grand Pure One.¡± The appearance of the two martial arts techniques made Mao Zhu and the others gulp. This was a true treasure. Even in the Snow Valley where Song Lianxue lived, there was only one Quasi-Immortal martial arts technique. It was something that only the valley master could learn, and just like the Great Frost Sealing Scripture, it was extremely precious and was viewed as an inheritance treasure. Now, two rare martial arts had been placed in front of them. ¡°Which one do you want?¡± Lin Mo laughed. Xia You¡¯s attacking methods were extremely terrifying. When she unleashed his Heaven¡¯s Will Body, she connected the heavens and earth, carrying on the will of the heavens and earth. Fighting with her was equivalent to fighting against the heavens and earth. One would have no advantage at all. Therefore, a movement technique might be what was suitable for her. After all, Lin Mo had never seen Xia You use a movement technique before. It could also be that she was hiding her true strength¡­ As for Mu Yuzhu, Lin Mo looked at the quiet lady. From start to finish, she had been quietly enjoying the food. She had a low sense of existence, but she had a unique temperament. This person bemused Lin Mo greatly. He did not know what kind of trump cards she had, nor did he know her true combat strength. It was as if there was a mysterious veil covering her, and he could not see through it¡­ ¡°Then I want the Three Wonders of the Grand Pure One,¡± said Mu Yuzhu. She was interested in this martial arts technique. Regarding this, Xia You did not say anything, and immediately fused the Nine Heavens Moon-Stepping Footwork. As for the other treasures that had been auctioned, Lin Mo did not hold back. He accepted all of them and planted a few of the divine trees in the Fire Spirit Lake in the system space. When the time was right, he would auction the divine tree and obtain a more precious divine tree, or even an immortal tree¡­ In the small courtyard, the fragrance of wine and meat wafted throughout the entire palace. The people in the Molin Chamber of Commerce were envious of such an alluring fragrance and wanted to enjoy it in the small courtyard. Unfortunately, apart from a few higher-ups, the only people who could participate were the people who had contributed greatly to the auction. These were the three formation masters who had created the Three Gods Sword Formation ]. It could be said that Lin Mo would not have dared to hold an auction so arrogantly without the Three Gods Sword Formation. When he recalled the scene of him being besieged, his blood still boiled. If he were to be besieged again, the spiritual qi in his body would be able to last for a while. At that time, he had seized the opportunity to kill the weaker Pixiu, and the remaining two had not been able to gain any advantage. ¡°It¡¯s so comfortable. I really want to be like this every day¡­¡± After the Pixiu¡¯s body had been processed, the cut dried meat piled up like a mountain. All of them enjoyed the fine wine and delicious food with faces full of joy for seven days. They all enjoyed it very much. Every day, after finishing their own business, they would sit down to drink and talk. After eating all the ingredients in seven days, the Qilin patted her stomach and leaned on Lin Mo¡¯s back with a satisfied look. ¡°It¡¯s almost time for me to leave¡­¡± After drinking a cup of tea, Mu Yuzhu wiped the grease off her mouth. She had stayed long enough at Lin Mo¡¯s place. There were still some dangerous places that she had not explored. It was time to leave. ¡°I hope we can work together again next time.¡± Lin Mo didn¡¯t try to persuade her to stay. After Mu Yuzhu bought some divine pills from Lin Mo, she left in a hurry. ¡°The banquet is over. It¡¯s time to take my leave.¡± After Mu Yuzhu left, Xia You also stood up and bid Lin Mo farewell. It was time for her to leave. Her purpose in coming to the Northern Continent had been to confirm if the God Devouring Body was Lin Mo. Now that she knew for sure, she decided to leave. ¡°Big Sister Xia You, are you not coming with us?¡± The Qilin was very reluctant to part with her and looked at Xia You with teary eyes. ¡°If you can¡¯t bear to part with your sister, you can always leave with me,¡± said Xia You as she looked at Qilin with a smile. As the only divine beast left in the world, her identity was destined to spread to other continents. It would attract countless forces to compete for her. If Qilin was willing to leave with her, the forces behind her could protect her¡­ ¡°Hehe, forget it. I still prefer to be with Brother Lin Mo,¡± chuckled the Qilin as she rejected Xia You¡¯s invitation. Chapter 743 - 743 Dragon Palace and Celestial Fox Palace 743 Dragon Palace and Celestial Fox Palace ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave. I might have to leave the ancient battlefield or continue exploring.¡± After a round of bidding farewell, Xia You stood up and left. Mao Zhu and the others also went into seclusion. After eating a lot of precious flesh medicine, they had some comprehension and were on the brink of making a breakthrough. Soon, only Lin Mo and the Qilin were left in the courtyard. ¡°Mm¡­¡± After stretching her back, the Qilin¡¯s body emitted a few wisps of auspicious qi. This was a sign that she was about to make a breakthrough. After eating so much good food, she was about to make a breakthrough. ¡°Ah, I only just caught up to your cultivation¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed as the Qilin fell into a deep sleep on a futon. This was her way of cultivation. When she comprehended the Dao in her sleep, the Dao would follow naturally, and all breakthroughs would naturally be achieved¡­ ¡°They¡¯re all in closed-door cultivation¡­¡± After sighing, he began to clean up the mess on the ground. He took out his Dao fire and burned some of the broken bones on the ground, leaving no traces behind. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, someone immediately came forward to report. ¡°Tang Ru has built a Dragon Palace in Lin City?¡± Lin Mo was a little surprised when he received the news. There were a few forces in Lin City, but none of the top forces had set foot here yet. He hadn¡¯t expected that Tang Ru would establish a branch of the Dragon Palace here immediately after the auction. ¡°There¡¯s also Young Master White Fox. His men have built the Celestial Fox Palace and are collecting resources in Lin City.¡± The two top powerhouses had taken note of Lin City and chose to set up a branch each. This was a good thing for Lin Mo. This way, if he had anything good, he could invite these guys to come and bid for them. Then, he would not have to worry that no one would take the treasure and end up being unsold¡­ ¡°Send out an invitation. We¡¯ll hold a simple auction tonight,¡± ordered Lin Mo. Soon, the news spread that Lin Mo would personally host the auctioning of precious divine trees and divine pills after coming out of seclusion. That night, the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡¯s auction hall was packed with people. There were many people who came to participate in the auction and see what kind of treasure would be auctioned off. ¡°Thank you, everyone, for your support¡­¡± Lin Mo stood on the stage with an apologetic look on his face. ¡°However, this auction has been carefully curated, so there will only be five items.¡± As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The eyes of the people sitting at the front glowed. It had been the right decision to come. This was what they were thinking at the moment. Originally, they had maintained a wait-and-see attitude, but now they had to take this matter seriously. ¡°I wonder if the owner of this place can tell me in advance what the final treasure will be?¡± At the very front of the hall, a fox-like woman spoke. Her somewhat seductive temperament instantly attracted a large number of gazes. The woman was completely unbothered by this. She looked at Lin Mo with a hint of charm in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s a fox girl from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan¡­¡± Lin Mo swept his gaze over the woman. This person¡¯s identity was extremely easy to identify. The fox tail on her back swayed slightly, and that seductive smile made countless men fall head over heels for her. However, this was not tempting to Lin Mo. After all, he had seen many existences with top-notch appearance and temperament. Although this fox girl was at the level of a calamity that could topple a country, she was still a little lacking¡­ The person on the other side was the Holy Blood Dragon, a representative of Tang Ru¡¯s Dragon Palace. The representatives of the two major forces had arrived for the auction. Although it wouldn¡¯t be as grand as the last auction, it still wasn¡¯t to be underestimated. There would be some valuable treasures appearing. ¡°I can¡¯t reveal the final treasure yet. Let¡¯s start the auction now.¡± Lin Mo took the auction hammer from the maidservant and announced the start of the auction after striking the hammer. The group of people focused their attention on Lin Mo, waiting for the treasure to appear. ¡°The first item will be five Dragon Scale Fruits, Level 7 Heaven-class.¡± When the five red fruits with special scales appeared, some of the living beings present were unable to sit still. The Dragon Scale Fruit was an existence whose medicinal effects far surpassed that of the Pseudo Dragon Fruit. The Dragon Scale Fruit Tree could only bear the legendary Quasi-Immortal Level Immortal Tree. This kind of immortal tree could only be born after being contaminated with the purest dragon blood. It was unimaginably precious, and no one had expected Lin Mo to be able to obtain it. Furthermore, he had taken out five of them at once. This was a huge sum. ¡°It seems that everyone is very interested, so I can rest assured,¡± said Lin Mo as he smiled and nodded. This was the reward he had obtained from the Pseudo Dragon Fruit Tree. The Dragon Scale Fruit was a deadly temptation to Sub-Dragons, even if they were Holy Blood Dragons. In this clan, most of the clansmen¡¯s bloodlines weren¡¯t very pure, so consuming the Dragon Scale Fruit was equivalent to consuming a Quasi-Immortal treasure. Cleansing one¡¯s marrow and remolding one¡¯s bloodline was equivalent to a rebirth. ¡°Our Dragon Palace will take it. We¡¯re willing to offer ten Heaven-class Level 7 divine pills,¡± said the Holy Blood Dragon at the front who had stood up. His eyes were red, and if it was not inappropriate for the occasion, he would have rushed up to take one and swallowed it. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, please do us a favor. Could you auction off these fruits separately?¡± At the back of the hall, some people had almost knelt down to plead with him. They were all Sub-Dragons and had dragon blood in their bodies, but it was not pure. As their cultivation level increased, this trace of dragon blood became thinner and thinner. This was a huge obstacle to their future Dragon transformation. If they were able to obtain the Dragon Scale Fruit, it would be equivalent to the grace of rebirth. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say more. Even if we auction them separately, I, from the Dragon Palace, will buy them all,¡± said the representative of the Dragon Palace bluntly. His words caused many Sub-Dragons to be dissatisfied, and they stared at this person with hatred. They had been afraid that the representative from the Dragon Palace would take revenge on them, so they had not dared to bid against him and had begged Lin Mo to sell the fruits separately. In the end, the person from the Dragon Palace stated that he wanted all of them and was unwilling to share a single one with them¡­ ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s no need to worry. I still have a few more Dragon Scale Fruits that I obtained from the Kun Peng Nest.¡± ¡°In the next few years, there will be more than ten Dragon Scale Fruits that will be auctioned off.¡± He chuckled and with a few words, he left the group of Sub-Dragons in Lin City, not daring to leave easily. They would not give up such a paradise-like opportunity so easily. ¡°Owner Lin Mo still has more. Why don¡¯t you take them out all at once? The Seventh Princess will give you a satisfactory price for them,¡± said the representative of the Dragon Palace again. The Dragon Scale fruit was precious. Even in the Sacred Blood Dragon Clan, there was only one fruit tree that would only bear fruit once every 10000 years. This wasn¡¯t enough for their clan¡¯s usage, so if there were any Dragon Scale Fruits in the outside world, they would buy them at all costs. ¡°B*stard! Don¡¯t go too far, Holy Blood Dragon clan! ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯re all Sub-Dragons. Why make things difficult for each other¡­¡± Many voice transmissions appeared anonymously, criticizing the actions of the Dragon Palace¡¯s representative, but the latter did not care at all. These people were merely weaklings who didn¡¯t dare to stand out. The people from the Dragon Palace had no fear. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there is a purpose as to why I¡¯ve only taken out these five fruits. There will only be so many of them for this auction.¡± Lin Mo smiled apologetically as he consoled everyone. The strong would normally prey on the weak, and he was not interested in helping any others. Unless it was an alternative Dragon that had joined his Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn¡¯t even take a look at them, let alone give the Dragon Scale Fruit to them. ¡°Since no one else is bidding, these five Dragon Scale Fruits will belong to the Dragon Palace.¡± Lin Mo struck the auction hammer and made a deal on the spot. Ten Level 7 Heaven-class divine pills appeared in his hands. ¡°Just nice, the next auction item will be a divine pill.¡± He didn¡¯t put these divine pills away. Instead, he took out ten more Heaven-grade Level 7 divine pills. Chapter 744 - 744 Fate Immortal Pill 744 Fate Immortal Pill ¡°These divine pills don¡¯t have any specific medicinal effects. They¡¯re considered cultivation resources. Now, we¡¯re auctioning them off. Everyone, please use divine pills to bid for them.¡± He introduced the items, stating that the divine pills should be exchanged for divine medicines. Everyone was stunned by Lin Mo¡¯s actions. They did not understand why he was doing this. Wouldn¡¯t divine pills that were rich in spiritual qi the most important thing to Lin Mo? Why was he will to auction them off? ¡°Divine medicine? That¡¯s great. I just collected some for the princess some time ago.¡± This was still from the representative of the Dragon Palace. He took out seventeen divine medicines, some of which were at Level 7 of the heaven class, and some were at Level 6. In terms of price, the two were about the same, but the divine medicine had more medicinal effects and was more abundant. ¡°Hehe, is the Dragon Palace going to buy up this whole place? It¡¯s better to give these divine pills to the Celestial Fox Palace.¡± On the other side, the fox girl spoke, and with a wave of her hand, she threw out a pile of divine medicine. It was just slightly higher than the price offered by the representative from the Dragon Palace, still leaving some room for the price to rise. Lin Mo looked at the man from the Dragon Palace and saw that he had returned to his seat. He then looked around the hall. Many of the other attendees were feeling helpless. The treasures being auctioned off were too precious for them to afford. They couldn¡¯t even afford the initial bid, let alone increase the bid. They could only watch as the people from the Dragon Palace and the Celestial Fox Palace made their bids. ¡°Deal. Congratulations to the people of the Celestial Fox Palace for winning the bid for these divine pills.¡± Lin Mo struck the auction hammer and announced the results. He then put the divine medicine away. These could be used as treasures for the next auction to earn even more rebate treasures. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off twenty Heaven-grade Level 7 Divine Pills. ] [ Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining fifteen Heaven-class Level 8 Divine Pills. ] The value of the rebate treasures was slightly smaller, but it was still within Lin Mo¡¯s acceptable range. Although these resources weren¡¯t a lot for him with his God Devouring Body, they were still a lot of resources. ¡°The third item is a Level 9 Heaven-class martial arts technique. It¡¯s for the blood essence of demonic beasts.¡± Lin Mo took out a scroll. This martial arts manual was very powerful and had been obtained by an itinerant cultivator who had explored many historical remains. After observing for a long time in Lin City, he was sure that Lin Mo had a good character and would protect those who participated in the auction. Thus, they had decided to auction it in exchange for the Demonic Beast¡¯s Blood Essence. ¡°The master of this martial art had average talent. He had relied on his own hard work and cultivation to reach where he is today. ¡°He¡¯s seeking the Demonic Beast¡¯s Blood Essence to cleanse his marrow. He wants to be completely reborn and become a true master. ¡°If you have divine treasures or divine pills with similar effects, you can also use them to make an exchange.¡± After the introduction, the auction began. This time, no one from the Dragon Palace or the Celestial Fox Palace participated. The forces behind them had no lack of martial arts. If they had been at the Quasi-Immortal Level, he could still consider it. ¡®Level 9 Heaven-class¡­ Forget it. I¡¯ll bid for the others to avoid public anger¡­¡¯ ¡°I have a bottle of blood essence of the monsters with golden patterns, enough for one person to cultivate one¡¯s body. Besides, I also have Bone-Forging and Soul-Cultivtion from pills of the Level 7 Heaven-class. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a jar of true Pixiu blood and a Heaven grade Level 7 Nirvana Flower.¡± ¡°Ten drops of the blood essence from the Sea Dragons, plus an ancient recipe, can be used to build a foundation and cultivate the body¡­ There were three beings who expressed interest, and they had precious blood essence. Unfortunately, all of this was done through voice transmission. Their voices were spread without revealing their location. Perhaps, only Lin Mo himself knew who the person who had secretly transmitted the message was. ¡°There¡¯s no need to choose. The Sea Dragon¡¯s book essence would definitely be my first choice¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. If it were him, he would have agreed to the exchange the moment he heard the blood essence of the boundless Sea Dragon, not to mention the ancient recipe. ¡°If the two of you don¡¯t have a higher price, I will strike the hammer.¡± After waiting for a minute, no one sent a voice transmission, which mean that the other two had given up. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, Sir.¡± The auction was successful, and the transaction was carried out in secret. With him around, no one dared to touch the bad luck and use their soul power to investigate. Everything was going smoothly. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Level 9 Heaven-class Martial Arts Technique, Taiyi Fire Palm. ] [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique, Great Net Weaving Flame Palm ] Lin Mo was overjoyed that he had obtained another Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique, even though the Great Net Weaving Flame Palm was not very powerful. Its grade was only at the quasi-immortal level, but it could be considered a sect-guarding secret art. ¡°I can give it to Mao Zhu and Song Lianxue¡­¡± He secretly murmured and decided where to go with this martial arts technique. ¡°Next up is the second last auction item,¡± Lin Mo chuckled as a golden light flickered in his hand. Three suet jade bottles appeared in his hands, and multicolored divine light spread out with a rich medicinal fragrance. ¡°These are all Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills. I got them from the last auction. They¡¯re useless to me, so I¡¯m taking them out to be auctioned today.¡± Lin Mo pointed to the three jade bottles and introduced the medicinal effects to everyone. The Bodhi Heart-Clearing Pill could help one comprehend Dao and at the same time plant the seed of Dao laws, allowing cultivators to quickly get started on a type of law. The Heavenly Spirit Lightning Illusion Pill could increase the quality of the heavenly tribulation and attract stronger lightning. The Fire Spirit Purple Heaven Pill was also a divine pill used to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation. It could summon the fire tribulation, better temper the body, and comprehend the Dao of Fire. Without exception, they were all rare divine pills that even great Saints would be tempted to auction. ¡°We¡¯ll auction them together. Whoever would like them, please start your bidding.¡± In fact, he could get more benefits by selling them separately, but the purpose of his trip was to give some benefits to the Dragon Palace and the Celestial Fox Palace. The Dragon Scale Fruits from before and the three rare divine pills this time. His purpose was naturally to rope in these two forces. Even if he couldn¡¯t make Tang Ru and Young Master White Fox stand on his side, at least they wouldn¡¯t become enemies. After the last battle, he knew how powerful the Northern Continent¡¯s masters were. If he was besieged, he would be in a very passive position, and he couldn¡¯t just stay in Lin City forever. ¡°Hehe, I happen to be of the fire attribute. I¡¯ll bid for this divine pill then¡­¡± There was a smile on the fox girl¡¯s seductive face, and her alluring waist twisted slightly, which looked very alluring¡­ ¡°If you like it, then please make your bid,¡± Lin Mo calmly said without any expression on his face. He was unmoved by the temptation. He just wanted to wait for the auction to end so that he could share the treasures with Mao Zhu and the others. ¡°I¡¯ll bid five Heaven-class Level 9 divine pills. They contain no special effects, so you can only absorb and cultivate them.¡± Such a price was also considered reasonable, and there were not many people who could participate in the bidding. Even if they had the financial resources to compete, they did not dare to bid at this moment for fear of becoming marked as a target¡­ ¡°Deal,¡± he said. Seeing that no one else was bidding, he was too lazy to ask and immediately announced the result. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Heaven-class Level 9 Bodhi Mind-Clearing Pill, Heavenly Spirit Lightning Illusion Pill, and Fire Spiritual Purple Heaven Pill. [ Successfully triggered 10000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining Quasi-Immortal Level Immortal Pills: Fate Immortal Pill, Divine Firmament Thunder Pill, and Heavenly fire Ultimate Pill. ] With a rebate of 10000 times, he had obtained three Quasi-Immortal divine pills, one of which was a Fate Immortal Pill. This immortal pill was incredible. It could help one comprehend the Dao Law of Fate. If one¡¯s talent was sufficient, it could bring great benefits. ¡°This is an opportunity that belongs solely to little Qilin¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. This little girl was indeed an auspicious beast. She could inexplicably obtain an opportunity even when she was in a closed-door cultivation¡­ Chapter 745 - 745 The Five Elements Mountain 745 The Five Elements Mountain Lin Mo smiled as he looked at the heated scene. He took out a divine tree that was glowing with light from the system space. ¡°A Water Spirit Fruit Tree, Heaven-class Level 8 divine tree. The highest bidder wins.¡± He didn¡¯t even need to introduce it. This kind of divine tree was something that no major force could refuse. This was because it was a strategic resource. Not to mention that this tree was a Level 8 Heaven-class tree. In all the major auction houses in the Northern Continent, such a tree would only appear once every hundred years. The reason Lin Mo had obtained it was because he had used it to bid for the Quasi-Immortal Level Martial Arts Technique. From this, one could see the value of this divine tree. ¡°Owner Lin Mo, are you really going to sell this?¡± The people of the Dragon Palace and the Celestial Fox Palace stood up in disbelief. This divine tree could be displayed at its greatest advantage in the hands of the various factions. They had been envious of Lin Mo only a few days ago. They were envious of him for having obtained a divine tree. If he used this opportunity to surrender, many forces would be willing to accept him. Even though this would offend many people, it was worth it for the divine tree. ¡°This Water Spirit Fruit Tree is useless to me. I¡¯ll sell it.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand in an overbearing manner, causing the crowd below the stage to be extremely envious. Even the divine tree could be easily auctioned off. This kind of courage was not something they could do. ¡°I can use the three divine pills I just obtained and three Heaven-class Level 9 divine herbs to exchange for it.¡± The fox girl was the first to speak. The divine pill that she had just obtained was still hot in her hands, and she was about to return it. Furthermore, Young Master White Fox had specially given her three divine medicines when he had sent her here. The goal was to exchange things for precious treasures from Lin Mo. It was just unexpected that they would have to be given away so soon after only a few days. What a pity¡­ ¡°Friends from the Dragon Palace, are you willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo looked at the man from the Dragon Palace. He was holding a jade talisman and seemed to be in the middle of contacting Tang Ru. ¡°Owner Lin Mo, I¡¯m willing to offer you two Heaven-class Level 9 divine herbs and a piece of news. I wonder if you¡¯ll be satisfied with that?¡± said the man from the Dragon Palace. Tang Ru had just told him this piece of information. ¡°Oh, what kind of information? What will I be able to get?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s interest was piqued. He was not interested in any ordinary piece of news, unless it was about a sacred land similar to the Wind Spirit Sect¡¯s ruins. Moreover, even so, if he wanted to obtain benefits, he would have to explore the ruins, which was very dangerous. In comparison, the three Heaven-class Level 9 divine medicines were still better. At that time, he could directly auction off the rebate items of the Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicines, which would allow his cultivation level to increase rapidly. ¡°The Five Elements Mountain has appeared, and it has given birth to a Supreme treasure of the immortal path.¡± Everyone was in an uproar. Even the fox girl of the Celestial Fox Palace was shocked. It was one of the many divine miracles of the ancient battlefield, the Five Elements Mountain. It was a huge mountain covered by a formation of the immortal path. It was said that the Five Elements Mountain had been a mountain god in ancient times. He had died in that world-destroying battle, and his body had become a rare treasure embryo that was capable of giving birth to all living things. If it really did appear, countless masters would be unable to hold themselves back from searching for their own fortune¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t have enough knowledge. What¡¯s so special about the Five Elements Mountain?¡± Lin Mo asked in all seriousness. Soon, the other people in the Chamber of Commerce transmitted their voices to him, saying that the news was worth it. In the past, when the ancient battlefield had opened, the Five Elements Mountain had always been in a sealed state. It would only open once in a while. As long as one could enter it, there would definitely be gains. Of course, some people did not have enough luck and could only obtain things like Earth Level spiritual herbs. There was once a man with heaven-defying luck who had obtained a Quasi-Immortal Level magical weapon from there, which had shaken the entire Northern Continent. ¡°Sir, you have a Qilin by your side, and your luck is extraordinary. You should give it a try.¡± At the same time, the man from the Dragon Palace was explaining the benefits of the Five Elements Mountain. Even the fox girl of the Celestial Fox Palace nodded and did not refute it. In terms of value, the location of the Five Elements Mountain was obviously more precious¡­ ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal.¡± Lin Mo slammed the auction hammer and announced the results. He was also interested in the Five Elements Mountain. With the auspicious beast accompanying him, he was sure to be very lucky. ¡°Thank you, Owner Lin Mo. Please forgive me and take this token to Blue Sea City. My headquarters is there.¡± The man from Dragon Palace was overjoyed. He took out a divine medicine and a token. The Five Elements Mountain was such a precious piece of information. How could it be revealed so easily? Even he couldn¡¯t tell anyone about it. After all, he couldn¡¯t go. If he knew what it was, it would only add to his troubles and danger. ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Mo did not mind. After receiving the token, he ended the auction. At the same time, news about the Five Elements Mountain started to spread from Lin City. Tang Ru, the princess of the Dragon Palace, knew the location of the Five Elements Mountain, which attracted countless people to Blue Sea City. All the masters sent out their subordinates to exchange treasures for information. Unfortunately, the Dragon Palace wasn¡¯t a place where they could mess around, and many people returned in defeat. There was even a master with extraordinary combat strength who wanted to charge in, but he was heavily injured by the formation. From the beginning to the end, Tang Ru did not appear even once. This also made some people calm down a little. This powerful existence did not even make a move, merely blocking them with just the formation. ¡°Hey, little girl, quickly come out of your seclusion.¡± After leaving Lin City, Lin Mo strolled alone in the mountains. With every step he took, he was able to travel hundreds of miles, traveling at an extremely fast speed. In the system space, the Qilin sat cross-legged at the bottom of the Fire Spirit Lake with a solemn expression on her face. After the auction ended, Lin Mo had fed her the Fate Immortal Pill that he had obtained. After eating it, Lin Mo could no longer feel the Qilin¡¯s aura. Everything around her seemed to have become blurry, and she could not see anything. This surprised him because this feeling was the same as when they had first entered the ancient battlefield. It covered up fate, disrupted all order, and was impossible to spy on¡­ If she continued like this, would she be able to surpass her mother and reach the level of the ancestral Qilin?¡± Lin Mo was curious. After observing the Qilin for a while, he exited the system space. ¡°Eh, the Purple Sky City is in front. It¡¯s the territory of the Shentu clan¡­ After traveling through the mountain range for seven days, Lin Mo arrived at a huge city. There were people coming and going here, and there were beings of all races, all of whom were extremely powerful. Lin Mo could even feel the presence of a Level 9 King tier cultivator. These were cultivators who had severed their cultivation realms and came to the ancient battlefield to re-cultivate. In this way, they improved very quickly. Perhaps, in a year or two, they would be able to break through the barrier of a Quasi-Saint. At that time, the battlefield would change again¡­ There was a huge gap between a King and a Pre-Saint that was hard to cross. Even people like Lin Mo would have to reach the ninth Heaven Layer to fight with a Pre-Saint. Before that, they could only run away if they encountered a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Should I go in and rob¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little hesitant. The Purple Sky City must have set up a shocking killing formation, similar to the Blue Sea City. If he forced his way in, he would probably suffer a great loss. He had the Abyssal Devouring skill and was not afraid of formations. However, if Shentu Luo was also there, he was afraid that he would face some trouble¡­ ¡°The Five Elements Mountain is more important¡­¡± After thinking about this for a moment, Lin Mo turned around and left in the direction of Blue Sea City. Chapter 746 - 746 Yin Yang True Fruit Tree 746 Yin Yang True Fruit Tree For the next three days, Lin Mo was on the road. At dawn, he finally saw a Blue Sea City at the end of his vision. The formation above the city was activated, and a thick murderous aura spread. When the people on the city wall saw Lin Mo approaching, they could not help but feel nervous and clenched their weapons tighter. There were too many people who had come to the Blue Sea City during this period of time, and most of them had ulterior motives. Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s terrifying aura, they could not help but feel worried. ¡°Who are you?¡± Someone shouted sternly from the city wall. At the same time, he took out formation flags and stood in anticipation. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Mo.¡± Lin Mo frowned before taking out the token and throwing it over. It seemed that the Blue Sea City had no peace after the news had spread. He wondered how many people knew about the Five Elements Mountain¡­ ¡°The token is real. He really is Lin Mo.¡± One of the young men there inspected the token carefully before asking his companions to activate the formation and let Lin Mo in. ¡°Mr. Lin Mo, please forgive us. There have been a lot of people looking for trouble recently,¡± said the small group of men who had gathered there as they invited Lin Mo in courteously. ¡°No need to say more. Where is your princess? Please ask her to tell me the location of the Five Elements Mountain,¡± said Lin Mo as he waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to say anything more. Time was precious, and he had to go to Five Elements Mountain to find opportunities. He followed them into Blue Sea City and arrived at the Dragon Palace, but most of the masters were not there. Some of them had gone outside to look for opportunities, while some had followed Tang Ru to Five Elements Mountain. ¡°My Lord, the princess left a map behind. She has already left.¡± The person in charge of serving Lin Mo was a master in the Hidden Dragon List and was ranked in the top 100. He was the strongest person in the Dragon Palace, and he was responsible for controlling the formation to protect this place. ¡°Thank you. I won¡¯t stay any longer,¡± said Lin Mo as he took a quick look at the map and turned to leave. At the same time, the system¡¯s warning tone finally rang out. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Level 8 Heaven-tier Divine Tree, Water Spirit Fruit Tree. ] [ Successfully triggered 1000-fold auction rebate ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven Level 9 Divine Tree and a mysterious Yin True Fruit Tree. ] What Lin Mo did not expect was that the rebate treasure was only a Level 9 Heaven-class treasure. He was greatly regretful that he hadn¡¯t managed to obtain a Quasi-Immortal Level immortal tree. At the same time, he also received a piece of news. He would definitely not lose out in this deal. In fact, he would even earn a lot¡­ ¡°It seems that I have gained a lot from this trip to Five Elements Mountain¡­¡± After leaving the Dragon Palace, Lin Mo did not hide his identity. He told the others that he had obtained the map to Five Elements Mountain. This helped to relieve some of the pressure on the Dragon Palace. This was because when he left the Blue Sea City, many people had followed him in secret, wanting to go to the Five Elements Mountain with him. ¡°If you can keep up, there¡¯s no harm in taking you there.¡± Lin Mo laughed as the Yin Yang Dao Law appeared on his body. In an instant, a pair of wings extended from his back. The giant Kun Peng Wings flapped gently, and he disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye. ¡°D*mmit, the Kun Peng is extremely fast¡­¡± The people behind were all dumbfounded. How could they chase after him? It was impossible to catch up. Unless their cultivation realm was much higher than Lin Mo¡¯s, or they also had the same powers as the Roc Clan¡­ ¡°Ah, it¡¯s such a great opportunity. Did I miss it just like that¡­¡± Many people beat their chests and stomped their feet, their faces filled with helplessness. They couldn¡¯t defeat the Dragon Palace, and Lin Mo couldn¡¯t catch up with them. The opportunity to go to Five Elements Mountain had gone completely out of their hands¡­ According to the map, Five Elements Mountain was located in a special area. The creatures there had their own intelligence¡­ After two days, Lin Mo arrived at a place that looked like a secret realm according to the map. This place was enveloped by a natural barrier and the spiritual qi here was dense. This barrier seemed to have isolated the laws of the ancient battlefield. ¡°Eh, there¡¯s a demonic beast clan here¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. After passing through the barrier, he discovered that some living beings had formed tribes, and there were even groups of demonic beasts. These people were not outsiders, but had lived here for generations. ¡°The map has repeatedly warned us not to attack the living beings here¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. It was said that the creatures here were born on Five Elements Mountain and were protected by it. If he touched the creatures here, Five Elements Mountain might be furious and expel all the people here. ¡°What?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo was a little shocked. He had only just arrived, but he could already feel a terrifying power. It seemed to be a will that was scanning his body, ignoring all hidden means. ¡°How terrifying! What kind of existence is that?¡± Moreover, he could feel countless auras probing him since earlier, each of which was very terrifying. However, there was a slight fluctuation that he could feel was a little friendlier and seemed to symbolize good luck. That was the fluctuation of a Qilin. It was not the little Qilin that he knew. It seemed to be the mother of the Qilin¡­ This discovery shocked him. The Qilin¡¯s mother had come here before, or could it be that this was once the territory of the divine beast Qilin? His consciousness sank into the system space. The Qilin¡¯s seclusion was coming to an end, and she was about to make a breakthrough again. Lin Mo didn¡¯t stop at the periphery but began to venture deeper into the area. What surprised him was that the creatures on Five Elements Mountain did not care about outsiders. They did not even pay attention to them. Even when Lin Mo took the initiative to talk to them, the other party would only give him a cold look and ignore him. ¡°Why?¡± He was somewhat confused. Even after searching for a while, he did not meet any outsiders like him. In the end, it was only when he took out three Heaven-class Level 7 divine pills and gave them to the Quasi-Saint that he had met by chance that the other party finally looked at him. ¡°If you want to find any opportunities, don¡¯t wander around blindly. Go to the depths, and don¡¯t hurt any living creatures with intelligence. Having received such a short reply in exchange for the three divine pills, Lin Mo still wanted to ask more questions. However, the other party continued to keep any other information a secret, merely shaking his head in reply. There was fear in his eyes, and he would not continue. ¡°Many thanks, Senior¡­¡± After bowing, Lin Mo flew into the depths. They encountered many living beings, even humans, but they only glanced at Lin Mo before ignoring him completely. ¡°There are quite a few good things here. It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯t pick them up¡­¡± This place was a mountain range, and Five Elements Mountain was probably in the center. On the way, he saw many treasures. However, these divine medicines and treasures all had owners. Besides, he couldn¡¯t fight here, and even if he could, he wouldn¡¯t be a match for them. ¡°The Quasi-Saints here don¡¯t seem to be worth much¡­¡± He had met at least a dozen Quasi-Saints along the way. Every one of them had a powerful aura and terrifying strength¡­ If these existences were to escape, the ancient battlefield would probably change completely and more than half of the opportunities would end up in their hands. Other than the aura of the five elements, there was also the Dao Law of Yin and Yang. It¡¯s very familiar¡­ Lin Mo was puzzled. The deeper they went, the more he discovered abnormalities. As he moved forward, he finally met a living being from the outside world. After asking, he learned that this place was also called the Yin-Yang World. There were a lot of legends about this place. The most popular rumor was that anyone who came to Five Elements Mountain would definitely gain something, and as long as they didn¡¯t mess around, they would not be in danger. Chapter 747 - 747 The Qilin Revered by All 747 The Qilin Revered by All ¡°Is this the first time you¡¯ve heard of this place, fellow Daoist? In that case, you must remember this legend and be careful.¡± Some creatures did not recognize Lin Mo and thought that he had just been lucky enough to enter, so they told him the news out of goodwill. This place had once been a killing field, and there were countless vengeful souls who were buried underground. During the great battle in ancient times, the battle here had been the most intense. It seemed that the divine beast Qilin had also fought a bloody battle here. The battle had caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to crack. Countless masters had died from hatred and were buried here. Lin Mo was unable to calm down after hearing the news from these people. What kind of war had destroyed the entire ancient era? It was at that time that the Eastern Continent had rotted, its spiritual qi had become barren, and its Heavenly Tribulation had been concealed. ¡°Is there any information I can find out about the Qilin here?¡± As he went deeper, he found that the life force around him was weakening, and a killing intent filled the air. This killing intent was extremely terrifying. There was a Supreme existence that had once been buried here, and it contained boundless killing intent. No living being could survive in this place for long, as they would be corroded by the killing intent. ¡°It¡¯s a completely different environment here compared to the outside. Why?¡± Lin Mo muttered softly. He couldn¡¯t stay in this place for too long. If he stayed for too long, there would be problems with his Dao Foundation, and it might even affect his soul. But when he went deeper, he found that this environment full of killing intent was only within a small area. The other places were full of vitality and there were living beings who were all very strong. ¡°Swish!¡± A dense energy spread out and surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body. This was the powerful power of destiny. With the protection of this power, the killing intent of many evil spirits would be unable to enter their bodies. It could even be said that Lin Mo was invulnerable at this moment, and his entire body exuded a sense of holiness. ¡°The Qilin has come out of seclusion!¡± Upon realizing this, Lin Mo had an idea and took the Qilin out of the system space. As soon as she appeared, the area was filled with auspicious qi. All the living beings looked over, and some even knelt down and saluted respectfully. ¡°Huh? Where is this? What a strange place!¡± The Qilin was full of curiosity and looked around. She was also surprised to see a Quasi-Saint bowing to her. When she saw the spiritual light in the eyes of these creatures, it was not the kind that was of listlessness or violence, but of their own intelligence. ¡°Huh?¡± This made her even more curious. She scanned the area with her soul power, staring at her surroundings. It was only when Lin Mo explained it to her that she understood and fell into deep thought. ¡°This place¡­ There¡¯s an aura that was left behind by my mother.¡± She had held her chin and pondered for a long time before finally saying this. She could also sense where her mother¡¯s aura was. ¡°Do you want to go and take a look?¡± Lin Mo asked. Since this matter concerned the Qilin¡¯s mother, he felt that it was better to let Qilin make the decision. Even though this was a mysterious place and there were some places that he couldn¡¯t wander around, he still decided that he would go with the Qilin. ¡°I think it would be better to ask them.¡± The Qilin pointed to a place not far away, where three demonic beasts at the level of a Saint-to-be were kneeling. They had humble attitudes, and their eyes were filled with respect. Even though he could tell that the Qilin was only a fourth-layered Heavenly King level, he didn¡¯t dare to show any disrespect. ¡°My fellow Daoists, please get up and help us clear our doubts, okay?¡± She looked at the three Saints-to-be demonic beasts with a smile. However, in the face of Qilin¡¯s words, the three demonic beasts were shocked. With fear in their eyes, they shook their heads frantically. They could open their mouths, but they didn¡¯t dare to say a word and merely continued kneeling there. ¡°This is strange. Can you understand me?¡± The Qilin moved closer, and Lin Mo followed carefully behind. If anything went wrong, he would take Qilin and hide in the system space. The expected danger did not appear. The creatures here seemed to be very friendly to the Qilin and were willing to stay by her side. However, faced with their questions, they were unwilling to speak even if Lin Mo promised to give them divine medicine and divine pills. ¡°If I tell you to speak, then you should speak. Hurry up, I won¡¯t eat you. If you don¡¯t want to speak, then don¡¯t follow me.¡± After walking for a while, the Qilin was a little annoyed and turned back to glare at a Saint-to-be demonic beast. This was a Fire Crystal Scaled Beast. It was very powerful, and if one were to trace it back to its origins, it had some bloodline relationship with the Qilin race. Hearing the Qilin¡¯s words, the demonic beast immediately knelt down. There was a look of struggle in his eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice. ¡°Lord auspicious beast, you may go anywhere and take anything with you. However, the Five Elements Mountain doesn¡¯t allow us to say anything else¡­¡± This was already the limit. This was not the outermost area, so they had to follow the rules set by the Five Elements Mountain. They were still able to talk to the living beings outside, but they couldn¡¯t say a word here. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the person in front of him had the bloodline of the divine beast Qilin in its body, he would definitely not have spoken. ¡°The rules of the Five Elements Mountain?¡± Lin Mo and the Qilin were both confused. But seeing the fear on this demonic beast¡¯s face, they didn¡¯t ask any more questions and he turned to fly deeper into the forest. In this way, a strange scene was formed in the Five Elements Mountain. Lin Mo and the Qilin walked together, and behind them was a large group of envious creatures. In their eyes, the fact that Lin Mo could walk side by side with the Qilin was an honor that they would never be able to obtain in their entire lives¡­ ¡°It¡¯s my first time meeting them. Why are they worshiping me so much?¡± Walking in front, the Qilin felt puzzled. Although it could be contaminated by the auspicious qi, what was the use of that little bit? Unless she was like Lin Mo, who made her follow him all the time and was unwilling to leave, she would not be able to receive the protection of auspicious. ¡°Perhaps¡­ Do they know your mother?¡± Lin Mo joked. However, that was impossible. Even an absolute Saint¡¯s lifespan wasn¡¯t enough to support a living creature from the ancient era to the present. These living beings were only Quasi-Saints and would not have such a long lifespan. Perhaps, the Five Elements Mountain was the mystery. It was a pity that it had set a rule that the living beings inside were not allowed to tell the outside world any information. ¡°Wait, it said that I can take any treasure away. What if I take their divine medicine?¡± Suddenly, the Qilin stopped walking and looked into the distance. There, a Titan Python was coiled. It was as large as a mountain and coiled around three of its peaks. There was a lake below, and a multicolored light was emitted from it, indicating that there was a treasure being nurtured there. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight¡­ ¡°That¡¯s the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus. There are more than a dozen of them¡­¡± Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotuses of different grades had been planted on the entire lake. The most precious one was at a Level 9 Heaven-class, wood element, and contained an endless supply of vitality. ¡°It seems so, but that Titan Python doesn¡¯t seem to be easy to talk to¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. The deeper they went, the more powerful the creatures they encountered. There were a few demonic beasts that could not be seen clearly. However, from the way they looked at the Titan Python, it wasn¡¯t difficult to tell that the creature standing before them was definitely a very terrifying existence. The giant python¡¯s cold eyes looked at Lin Mo, but when it saw the Qilin, its gaze gradually softened. Just like the other demonic beasts, it recognized her as the auspicious beast White Qilin, and its eyes were filled with respect. Chapter 748 - 748 Bright Red Blood 748 Bright Red Blood After discovering the Qilin¡¯s intention, it even spurted out a stream of spiritual qi, cutting off the Ninth Heaven-Level Spirit-Connecting Lotus and sending it over. ¡°Are you giving it out just like that?¡± Lin Mo was dumbfounded. ¡®A Titan Python with an unknown cultivation base is actually very obedient¡­¡¯ ¡°According to the rules, beings from the outside world can only take one treasure. Does this count?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. He would not give up on the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus no matter what, even if he could not get a Quasi-Immortal treasure. ¡°Who cares? You gave it to me, so you can¡¯t go back on your word.¡± The Qilin wasn¡¯t really bothered. It did not let go of the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Lotus and urged Lin Mo to put it away. ¡°Let¡¯s continue walking, I feel like we¡¯re getting closer.¡± To Lin Mo¡¯s surprise, the Titan Python did not follow the Qilin, and the demonic beasts that had followed her previously had already retreated. It was as if there was a piece of forbidden land in front of them that they did not dare to step into. His eyes lit up, and his Eye of Martial Arts constantly observed his surroundings, wanting to see if he could discover anything. Soon, he found a mountain peak. There were many living beings here, all of whom had come from the outside world. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I saw it too. There¡¯s something good there,¡± the Qilin urged. Although there was endless killing intent in that place, it was full of auspicious signs. There had to be something good there. ¡°I¡¯ll look for someone to ask.¡± Lin Mo went up to ask and received more information. The place under the protection of the Five Elements Mountain had been full of killing intent. It had been a dead land without any living creatures. As time passed, some places were gradually purified, allowing the living beings there to live. At the same time, he also set down a rule that no living beings from the outside world were allowed to enter and destroy the place that had been purified. As for the restrictions on communication, no one knew the reason. ¡°In other words, this place can be destroyed at will?¡± Qilin rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go all out. ¡°Let me do it. Be careful.¡± Lin Mo stepped forward. It was better to let him handle such a dangerous operation. If his life was in danger, he could escape at the first moment and nothing would happen. ¡°Then be careful.¡± The Qilin retreated and stared at Lin Mo¡¯s figure to avoid any accidents. Lin Mo took out his War Demon Spear and released the aura of a Third Heavenly King. The terrifying power spread and caused the ground to tremble. This land of death was very large, and many people were exploring it. When they realized what Lin Mo had done, they were all shocked and started to back off, not daring to stay. ¡°Clang!¡± Lin Mo held the War Demon Spear in his hand and stabbed it in the direction of the Qilin¡¯s finger. The mountain exploded in an instant. The ground cracked open, and the wind and clouds surged. Strange phenomena kept appearing. A terrifying killing intent spread out and enveloped Lin Mo. It even spread out and swept in all directions. Auspicious qi emerged from his body, blocking all the killing intent and preventing it from approaching. The sharp spear radiance of the War Demon Spear pierced through the ground, shattering the space and tearing open a huge crack. The killing intent below became even more intense and started to erode Lin Mo. Apart from that, a huge green rock appeared where the spear had pierced. The War Demon Spear, which was just a step away from becoming a Quasi-Immortal grade magical weapon, was completely unable to harm the green rock. ¡°I¡¯ve found it¡­¡± Lin Mo wanted to keep the green stone in the system space. However, no matter how he extended his power, he could not merge it with the green stone and was unable to take it away. The green stone was very hard, and he didn¡¯t know what it was made of. He cleaned up the nearby soil and gravel, sensing a rich life energy. Through his observation, he knew that this green stone was not a piece of treasure. The true treasure was being nurtured within its body. It was protected by runes, making it impossible to break through. ¡°These runes contain a powerful life essence. Could it be that there are living creatures inside?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He stretched out his hand and the Dao Law of Yin and Yang appeared. He used his strongest attack and the Kun Peng Claws tore the green stone apart. Within it, an ancient feeling filled the air, accompanied by a sacred aura. This was definitely an item from the ancient era. Since it had survived to this day, it was definitely extraordinary. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, how are you?¡± The Qilin¡¯s voice could be heard from above the crack as she asked Lin Mo about the situation. A dense life aura spread from within the green stone, and a terrifying fluctuation spread out, sending Lin Mo flying. Other than that, there were also several scattered objects that flew out with him. The most eye-catching thing was a drop of bright red blood essence. The rich life essence was emitted from it. Many living beings in the surroundings looked over in shock. They all knew that Lin Mo had found something good. These items were from ancient times, and every single one of them was extraordinary. ¡°Oh my god! That drop of blood¡­ Could it be the blood essence of the great emperor? The Supreme treasure of the Immortal Dao¡­¡± Someone shouted in excitement. Lin Mo steadied his body and flew up again, arriving before the drop of blood essence. ¡°What?¡± Suddenly, he felt a dangerous aura. Without turning his head, he spread his giant Kun Peng Wings. ¡°Clang!¡± A purple-black dagger appeared out of thin air and stabbed into the Kun Peng Wings. A wisp of black smoke came from the wound. Lin Mo made a prompt decision. He circulated the Spirit Devouring Technique, and devouring power filled his body, devouring the power that had invaded his body. ¡°Who is it?¡± He shouted. He had let down his guard when he heard that the Five Elements Mountain was safe. He had not expected that the greatest danger would be from the living beings from the outside world who would do anything for the treasures. ¡°What a sharp perception¡­¡± A sigh could be heard coming from the void, and the person who attacked disappeared without a trace. Even Lin Mo found it difficult to find the person. That person was extremely powerful and was proficient in the Law of Space. ¡°What happened?¡± The people behind were shocked. They had wanted to snatch away the drop of blood, but they had stopped upon seeing Lin Mo and the Qilin. No one had expected that someone would actually dare to launch an attack. By the looks of it, he had even injured Lin Mo. This strength was truly terrifying. ¡°That should be the senior who killed himself. His cultivation speed is very fast. He¡¯s already a ninth-Layered Heaven King, someone whispered worriedly. A slight carelessness in the battle in the five elements mountain would lead to a disaster ¡­ Fortunately, the most dangerous situation did not come. Many living beings were also waiting here, wanting to dig out the treasures. After all, each person could only take one item away. He might not be able to get the drop of blood, but he might be able to get the other treasures¡­ ¡°Quickly put it away, let¡¯s go.¡± The Qilin urged Lin Mo to collect all the treasures that had flown out. This time, there were no obstructions. Lin Mo successfully kept the ancient objects and placed them in the system space. After some observation, the Qilin had already determined that there were no more treasures here. At the same time, the power of the Five Elements in the surroundings continued to gather and began to wash away the killing intent here. This was the power of the Five Elements Mountain, which was evolving this place. This made Lin Mo feel a little curious. Why did the Five Elements Mountain start to take action after the treasure was taken away? ¡°What are these treasures?¡± The Qilin asked curiously after leaving the place. Lin Mo started to check the treasures in the system space. Chapter 749 - 749 The Five Elements Mountains Invitation 749 The Five Elements Mountain¡¯s Invitation The first thing he looked at was the drop of blood. It should be the most precious treasure in this place that contained an unending supply of vitality. The blood of the auspicious beast White Qilin was sealed by Supreme means and has been preserved to this day. Although a lot of its essence has been lost, it is still at the Quasi-Immortal level. Lin Mo was shocked. The people from the Northern Continent had been talking about the Qilin blood for the past two years, and now they had a drop of it. When he told Qilin this news, the latter didn¡¯t believe him at all. It was only when she sensed it carefully and even tasted it a little that she was sure that it really was Qilin blood, and it was her mother¡¯s blood. Even a drop of blood could be considered a Quasi-Immortal treasure¡­ This was not even the blood essence. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying existence the Qilin was at its peak. [ Qilin scales have lost all their essence and are now worthless. ] Along with this drop of blood, there were a few ancient objects, but their essence had been lost through the passage of time. After he was sure that it was useless, he threw it away, leaving only the Qilin scale. ¡°This is your mother¡¯s scale. You should take good care of it¡­¡± With a sigh, he continued to move forward with the Qilin. When they arrived at Five Elements Mountain, he still had many doubts that he had yet to answer. And he was very interested in the mysterious Five Elements Mountain. Judging from what had happened just now, Five Elements Mountain definitely had its own intelligence and was paying attention to this area. At that moment, a bird stood on a branch not far away, staring at Lin Mo and the Qilin. It exuded a holy aura that was extremely powerful. Observing it, Lin Mo and the Qilin became nervous. Before the two of them could speak, the bird spoke first, ¡°The two of you, my Lord invites you to the deepest part of the palace for a gathering.¡± Lin Mo was a little stunned. This bird¡¯s level was very high, and it was very powerful. However, it was only a messenger? Who was its master? The Five Elements Mountain? ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s the Five Elements Mountain. My lord wants to see you,¡± continued the bird. ¡°Should I go? There¡¯s no danger¡­¡± said the Qilin. She had already been able to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. She would not be harmed at Five Elements Mountain. The road ahead would be smooth without any obstacles. ¡°Where is Five Elements Mountain? Why does it want to see us?¡± Lin Mo asked. The bird flapped its wings slightly, and the feathers on its body emitted a strange light. It was only at this moment that Lin Mo discovered its true identity-the Rainbow-Winged Bird. Its existence had long been extinct in the outside world and could only be found in some ancient books. The feathers of this kind of creature were very precious. They could be used to cultivate magic weapons and had extraordinary power. Thus, they had been hunted by many people in the early years. In the end, it had led to the extinction of such creatures and they were no longer visible in the world. ¡°Oh, my clansmen in the outside world have already been exterminated? What a pity¡­¡± The bird¡¯s realm was very high, so he could read Lin Mo¡¯s mind. At this moment, it felt a little sad. Their race had originally been small in population, and they had not expected them to have already become extinct in the outside world¡­ ¡°Senior, may I ask what realm you are at?¡± Lin Mo asked. He felt that this creature¡¯s level would be terrifying. What kind of existence would the even more powerful Five Elements Mountain be¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me to disclose it. Please follow me to see his Excellency.¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird shook its head and urged Lin Mo and the Qilin to set off. ¡°Can you be sure there¡¯s no danger?¡± Lin Mo looked at the Qilin. He wasn¡¯t sure what the other party¡¯s cultivation was, and he didn¡¯t know what kind of method could block the Qilin¡¯s perception of good or bad luck. ¡°If I wanted to harm you, I could have taken your lives the moment you entered the barrier, so don¡¯t worry.¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird continued to explain. Lin Mo felt a strong killing intent when it said that. It was extremely terrifying, but the Qilin didn¡¯t seem to show any changes. It was as if this murderous aura had specifically been directed at him¡­ ¡°Then can you tell us why the Five Elements Mountain wants to see us?¡± He asked. A terrifying existence wanted to see him and the Qilin, and its attitude seemed too good to be true. He was still a little worried. What if these mysterious experts had some restrictions and needed them to walk to a specific area before they could make a move? Wouldn¡¯t he be walking right into a trap if he just went there? Seeing Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts, the Rainbow-Winged Bird felt helpless. It said anxiously, ¡°The lord of the Five Elements Mountain has a limited time when it¡¯s awake. Please make a decision quickly.¡± At the same time, it spoke again, ¡°I know you have a very powerful space, so it¡¯ll be very easy for you to escape.¡± ¡°How about this, I¡¯ll teach you a way to change the spatial node. This way, when you leave the space, you can appear anywhere within the range instead of the original spot.¡± Lin Mo was slightly shocked by this. He had not known that the small world could be used in this way. ¡°Then hurry up and teach me. Also, how big is the area? Is it more than a hundred thousand li?¡± The Qilin laughed. Hearing this, the Rainbow-Winged Bird facepalmed slightly. Anything more than 100000 miles could only be done with a teleportation formation. This kind of small world was isolated from everything, and the teleportation formation set up inside would lose its coordinates and could not be teleported. It was already good enough that it could shift a few hundred miles, and this was the result of its painstaking study of the space Dao. The operation method was very simple, and it was very convenient to use. This gave Lin Mo another method to escape quickly as long as his aura was not locked by the powerful soul power. ¡°Don¡¯t be too pleased with yourself. Although this move is useful, it has limited penetration when faced with certain formations. It¡¯s very difficult to deviate from it,¡± the Rainbow-Winged Bird gave them a kindly reminder. It could see what Lin Mo and the Qilin were thinking, and it knew that the two of them had many enemies and were in a dangerous situation. ¡°Hehe, thank you, senior. We¡¯ll go with you now.¡± The Qilin was all smiles as it promised Lin Mo that wealth was found in danger. Since they were already here, they should go in and take a look first. Lin Mo did not hesitate and followed the Rainbow-Winged Bird from a distance with the Qilin. Holding the Qilin¡¯s little hand, he told her that she was to immediately enter the system space with him if he sensed any danger. At that time, by relying on the spatial techniques he had just learned and the Eye of Destiny, it would be very easy for him to escape. ¡°Being so cautious, it¡¯s not a bad idea to let the little Qilin follow you¡­¡± A gratified laugh came from the void, and the words that were said shocked Lin Mo. ¡°Senior, are you from the Five Elements Mountain?¡± He bowed to the void in front of him, not daring to be rash. ¡°Come in, I won¡¯t harm you.¡± A golden path expanded and extended all the way to the feet of the two. The Rainbow-Winged Bird also flew over and landed on the Qilin¡¯s shoulder without saying a word. There was no need for them to walk. The golden path directly took them flying. They moved speedily as they passed through mountain ranges that were rich in life energy. The last place they arrived at was a kind of fairyland. The surroundings were filled with immortal qi, which was shocking. ¡°Is this the ruins of an immortal? It¡¯s so beautiful,¡± exclaimed the Qilin. However, she didn¡¯t dare to barge in recklessly because there was a powerful formation in the surroundings that sealed this place and prevented her from getting close. Her original thoughts of cultivating here were put away. Chapter 750 - 750 Roping In the Rainbow-Winged Bird 750 Roping In the Rainbow-Winged Bird They flew all the way and passed through a door of light. They entered the array and could be considered to have entered this immortal realm. ¡°You can¡¯t touch the things in the outer area, it¡¯ll cause big trouble,¡± the Rainbow-Winged Bird reminded. There were spatial fragments everywhere, and Lin Mo could even feel the power of time within them¡­ ¡°Boom, boom, boom!¡± A violent explosion came from the void behind the fragment, and the aura from it made Lin Mo and the Qilin tremble in fear. Vaguely, they seemed to see two behemoths fighting, but they could not see clearly what kind of creatures they were. They only knew that it was an incomparably terrifying existence. In a single battle, it shattered a part of the starry sky. The stars in the sky shattered, and countless living beings were annihilated and disappeared¡­ ¡°Is that a fight between Great Emperors?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Could this be the great battle of the ancient times? ¡°I don¡¯t know. To be honest, I don¡¯t know what happened in the ancient times. I woke up in a daze and a new era had begun¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird was lost in its memories, and its eyes were listless. Walking in the depths of the formation, they came to a chaotic region. ¡°We¡¯re here. The Five Elements Mountain is right in front of us.¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird opened its mouth and stretched out its wing to point forward. It was a patch of chaos, and a small mountain could be vaguely seen. It was very mysterious. ¡°Senior, may I ask why you¡¯re looking for us?¡± Lin Mo asked as he cupped his fists. ¡°It¡¯s a familiar aura¡­ The floating flame flag¡­ It has really been many years since we last met¡­¡± A soft sigh could be heard, and the words that were said caused Lin Mo¡¯s emotions to fluctuate. ¡°Could it be that the ancient era that passed was really the prehistoric times?¡± Lin Mo was even more shocked when he thought of this. What kind of war could cause the entire primeval world to collapse¡­ ¡°What is the primeval world?¡± In the chaotic mist, the Five Elements Mountain asked a question. It had seen through Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Senior, do you believe in the past and present?¡± Lin Mo asked. This world had the Dao Law of Reincarnation, but could anyone really reincarnate? Ever since he started cultivating, he had never heard of any reincarnation of an ancient figure¡­ The so-called reincarnation should not exist¡­ ¡°If you believe it, there will be. If you don¡¯t believe it, there will naturally be none¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain chuckled. The answer made Lin Mo feel helpless. ¡°Senior, are you the Great Emperor?¡± Qilin also stood up and asked. She was very curious if there were any living Great Emperors in this world. The person in front of him must have survived from ancient times and might know something. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need to ask. I¡¯ve lost my memory. I¡¯ve forgotten a lot¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain shook its head, indicating that it could not remember clearly. It had not recovered from its injuries. ¡°Senior, are you injured?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. There were treasures everywhere in the ancient battlefield, so why didn¡¯t this existence go and get some to heal his injuries? ¡°That is an opportunity that is left for all of you. How can we snatch it¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird spoke, answering Lin Mo¡¯s question. ¡°Senior, what should I do to prevent others from prying into my thoughts¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless and asked. He felt that whatever he was thinking would be known without any secrets. ¡°All those below quasi-Emperor are ants¡­¡± Lin Mo was dumbfounded by the Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s words. Didn¡¯t this mean that there was no other way? One should know that among the forces he had offended, there was more than one quasi-Emperor¡­ In addition, he had many treasures on him. He even had the immortal tree, the Kun Peng Art, and immortal-grade SScriptures of Enlightenment¡­ With the Qilin beside him, it was enough for these quasi-Emperors be to come out of the mountain and mess with him¡­ ¡°What? Do you have that many treasures on you?¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s eyes widened. It finally realized that it had underestimated this junior. He had thought that he was just a lucky lad who had won the Qilins favor, but it seemed like he was still capable. Otherwise, how could they guard so many good things ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s very impolite to pry like this.¡± Qilin said in dissatisfaction. Just like Lin Mo, this was the first time the Qilin felt powerless. In front of an absolute expert, all methods were useless and had no privacy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird lowered its head and apologized. Then, it told the two of them to use the Qilin and Kun Peng Runes to protect their sea of consciousness as long as they did not panic. Although the two of them were only at the Ruler Realm, the runes from two top inheritances were enough to shield them from the prying eyes of absolute saints. ¡°I still can¡¯t stop quasi-Emperors? ¡± Lin Mo was helpless. ¡°If I could really block it, then the quasi-Emperor¡¯s Heavenly Sting would not have troubled me for countless years¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird glared at Lin Mo. It was at the ninth step of the Supreme Saint realm, and it had been stuck at this realm for millions of years without any chance of breaking through ¡­ ¡°I have immortal-grade Scriptures of enlightenment, do you want them, Senior?¡± Lin Mo asked tentatively. If he could make one owe him a favor, it would be best to break through to the quasi-Emperor realm directly¡­ This way, he would have the confidence to challenge the Northerners when he went out. ¡°This ¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird was stunned and hesitant. The immortal-grade Scriptures of Enlightenment were really useful to it. The temptation was too great for it to refuse. ¡°If you can¡¯t refuse it, just accept it. You can¡¯t stay here forever. You can go out and take a look.¡± The Five Elements Mountain asked the Rainbow-Winged Bird to accept it. Hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed. Such a terrifying existence could stand behind him and was willing to leave. This was the best news for him¡­ ¡°Wait for me to ask Master Qilin. If she agrees, I¡¯ll accept it.¡± After hesitating for a while, it finally relented. However, it still had to ask the spiritual beast, Qilin. ¡°You know my mother?¡± The Qilin was a little surprised. Could it be because of the Rainbow-Winged Bird that the creatures here were so respectful to her? ¡°It¡¯s not convenient to disclose this. You can ask him yourself.¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird did not answer, nor did it stay here for long. It immediately disappeared. ¡°You¡¯re leaving just like that? Bring us along as well¡­¡± The Qilin shouted. She and Lin Mo had also decided to go to her mother¡¯s training hall. However, that place was filled with danger, and it would be difficult to get there unless she used the Eye of Destiny¡­ It was a pity that the Rainbow-Winged Bird seemed to have left and did not hear her call. ¡°Senior Five Elements Mountain, why did you call us here?¡± Seeing that the Rainbow-Winged Bird had left, Lin Mo looked at the five elements mountain in front of him and asked. It could not have been as simple as just a few words. ¡°I¡¯m just here to see what kind of method you used to keep Qilin by your side.¡± The calm voice of the Five Elements Mountain could be heard. However, Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine when he heard that. He could clearly hear the killing intent in those words. At that moment, he felt as if he was making an enemy out of this world. He could not use his cultivation base at all. In the face of the killing intent of the Five Elements Mountain he could only wait for death¡­ ¡°Fortunately, you did not lie to her. Instead, you took good care of her. Thank you¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain said with a smile. Lin Mo was very talented and had one of the strongest physiques of the human race. His talent had passed the test. When it had read the Qilin¡¯s mind, it had also confirmed that Lin Mo had not lied to him and that his temperament had passed the test. ¡°I¡¯ll give you an opportunity. Do you want it?¡± Just as Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief, the Five Elements Mountain opened its mouth again and offered to give Lin Mo an opportunity. Chapter 751 - 751 Karmic fire washing karma 751 Karmic fire washing karma ¡°What about me? Do I get it?¡± The Qilins¡¯ eyes brightened as it looked at the five elements mountain with a drooling expression. ¡°Of course. You can cultivate here, and you can pick any divine object you want. After receiving an answer, the Qilin was overjoyed. It walked around the immortal land, plucked a medicinal herb that contained life force, and ate it. ¡°Come over, it¡¯s up to you to grasp this opportunity.¡± The Five Elements Mountain said to Lin Mo. In front of him, a door appeared in the fog of chaos. It did not know what was inside, but the Five Elements Mountain did not want to lie to a junior like him. After giving the Qilin some instructions, he stepped into the glowing door. ¡°My young friend, you¡¯ve refined the world treasure, but you¡¯ve also been contaminated by some unclean things. ¡°With your current cultivation level, you can¡¯t withstand this karma. This space is made from the Red Lotus of Fire.¡± ¡°I can remove the karma on you. In the future, be careful when you cultivate.¡± The voice of the Five Elements Mountain came from the void. Hearing this, Lin Mo¡¯s heart fell to the bottom of the valley. The Five Elements Mountain must be a high-levelled quasi-Emperor. If it could see that Lin Mo had refined the world treasure, then the other quasi-Emperors outside could see it too. The danger he was about to face was unimaginable. ¡°There¡¯s also a Red Karmic Fire Lotus here. Does that mean that the other primordial supreme treasures also exist?¡± Lin mo muttered. If one did not want to be contaminated by karma, they had to endure the Karmic Fire to wash away all karma. Lin Mo finally understood what he was about to face. If he wanted to prevent the karma from getting on his body, he had to withstand the roasting of the Karmic Fire. Only then could he wash everything off¡­ ¡°Senior, the Qilin has also refined the Fruit of Fate. Can you give this opportunity to her?¡± Lin Mo quickly said. He had the system space, so he might be given some missions in the future. Even if he was in danger, he could still hide in the system space. As long as he was not killed, he should be safe. However, the Qilin was different. Although she was an auspicious beast, if she was targeted by a quasi-Emperor, she would probably be in danger¡­ ¡°The Fruit of Fate belongs to the Qilin clan. There¡¯s no need for the karmic fire to wash away the karma¡­¡± After receiving his reply, Lin Mo did not say anything more and sat cross-legged in the space. At the same time, he discovered that there were many other treasures here. There were some broken scrolls with strange runes drawn on them. He was not going to be polite to them and took everything in the space in one go. The system¡¯s notification rang out at this moment. [ The text of the ancient era records the process of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus¡¯s destruction and the place where the incomplete lotus body was sealed. ] There were some strange words on one of the scrolls. After the system¡¯s appraisal, he was shocked. He never expected that the legendary Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, would be destroyed. ¡°If I am able to find the incomplete lotus body and auction it off¡­¡± He swallowed his saliva and felt that it was feasible, but he had to wait until he was stronger ¡­ ¡°This opportunity is really great ¡­¡± After taking a look at the other scrolls, the system discovered that the origin and activation method of the Red Karmic Fire Lotus were recorded on them. It was a pity that Lin Mo did not understand the words of the ancient era. He could only understand some strange runes. ¡°I¡¯ll ask the Five Elements Mountain when I get out¡­¡± After making up his mind, he began to observe his surroundings and found that there were already flames nearby. The Red Karmic Fire Lotus spread and gradually filled the entire space. He sat cross-legged in the center, and the clothes on his body were instantly burned. A wisp of flame attached to his body. ¡°Uh¡­ It hurts¡­¡± Even with his endurance, he still cried out in shock. The baptism of the Karmic Fire had seeped deep into his bones. In order to wash away the karma, one¡¯s soul would have to be burned as well. This process was long and extremely painful¡­ ¡°If I can¡¯t hold on, I will be swallowed by the Karmic Fire. Even the Hidden Dragon Rank jade seal can¡¯t save me¡­¡± After understanding everything, Lin Mo steadied his mind and did not dare to delay. After some injuries appeared on his body, he began to swallow spirit herbs. He swallowed a few earth rank spirit herbs in succession. He recovered and continued to endure the baptism of the Karmic Fire. ¡°Then come on. Heaven and earth as the furnace, baptising in Karmic Fire, cut off karma, and burn the true self¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s gaze was firm as he sat cross-legged in the space. His entire body was enveloped by the Karmic Fire. Gradually, the Karmic Fire formed a fiery red lotus seat under his body. That was the original form of the Red Lotus of fire. The flames had condensed into this shape and started to burn Lin Mo. ¡°Boom!¡± Flames filled the air as thousands of runes gathered, turning into a sea of fire. It drowned everything and filled the entire space. The runes merged into Lin Mo¡¯s body along with the flames and exploded in his body like the sun, moon, and stars. The Nirvana of a true phoenix was nothing more than this. The great Dao was singing in unison to celebrate the new life. ¡°Pfft!¡± As the Karmic Fire burned, Lin Mo¡¯s skin split open and blood flowed out. It floated in the air and was quickly evaporated. One wound after another appeared, and he was soon completely disfigured by the burning of the Karmic Fire, looking extremely miserable. The moment the blood flowed out, it was burned by the raging Karmic Firekarmic fire. To Lin Mo, every moment of the Karmic Fire baptism was torture. However, no matter how dangerous it was, no matter how painful it was, he could not escape. Being trapped in space, his body tempered by the Karmic Fire, and his soul would be destroyed at any moment. ¡°Buzz.¡± Amidst the buzzing sounds, the Red Karmic Fire Lotus in Lin Mo¡¯s lower body trembled slightly, releasing an even purer karmic fire. In an instant, the great Dao rumbled, and this space completely boiled over. Lin Mo could not feel the passage of time. He only felt that he was about to die and his life was in danger. In the past, he had tried to burn himself with flames, and he had narrowly escaped death several times. At the same time, his God Devouring Body was also refining his body, which made his endurance stronger. He had thought that his cultivation in the future would not be so painful and he would not have to experience such dangerous situations. Now that he was being baptized by the Karmic Fire, the flames formed by the Primordial Supreme Treasure could prevent karma from touching him. This was why the pressure on him increased. Once he could not bear it, his body would explode and his soul would be destroyed. There would be no way to save him. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s heart suffered a heavy blow and almost exploded. Waves of dizziness came from his brain, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. The karmic sinflames had not stopped and were still burning. Countless runes fused into his body along with the Karmic Fire, instantly causing him to be severely injured. His current situation could not be described with the word ¡®miserable¡¯. If anyone were to see him, their scalps would definitely go numb. What kind of cultivation would actually need to endure such a terrifying flame¡­ He took out a godly medicine from the system space and swallowed it. With the help of the Karmic Fire, he refined it and quickly absorbed it. After recovering from his injuries, he sat cross-legged once more and endured the burning of the Karmic Fire in order to wash away the karma on his body. The chirping of a few insects reverberated in his ears, and Lin Mo was jolted awake. At his dantian, a tiny bug had appeared out of nowhere and was resisting the burning of the Karmic Fire. However, how could such a terrifyingly high temperature be blocked so easily? The tiny insects were instantly turned into ashes¡­ Chapter 752 - 752 No Karma on the Body 752 No Karma on the Body ¡°That is¡­ What?¡± Lin Mo felt a bone-chilling cold even though he was in a hot space. He recalled the strange scene that had appeared when he was refining the Yin Yang Fruit. An inexplicable enemy, the Qilin¡¯s prophecy, and the great trouble that had brought him back then. After a tough battle and narrowly escaping death, he defeated the two bodies controlled by the spirit devouring bugs. That was the closest he had ever been to death. Facing an existence of the same combat strength as himself, he had almost died in battle. ¡°Were those Spirit Devouring Bugs?¡± He had questions in his heart, but no one could give him an answer. The Spirit Devouring Bugs were all burned by the Karmic Fire, leaving nothing behind. He couldn¡¯t even use the system to identify them. Suddenly, he heard the sound of insects, which made his hair stand on end. He quickly waved his hand and summoned a large amount of Karmic Fire to burn himself. The intense pain caused Lin Mo to scream out in pain. He had to swallow three godly medicines in a row to avoid being burned to death. Even so, he could still hear the sound of insects. It was very ear-piercing and terrifying. ¡°This voice, it came from my sea of consciousness¡­¡± He was extremely shocked. The Karmic Fire did not miss out on this point, but because they were burning the soul, their power was weakened. After all, they were giving him an opportunity and not trying to kill him. It was difficult for the Karmic Fire to unleash their full power, causing only the chirping of insects to exist in his mind. ¡°How is this possible? When did I get infected? ¡± He was horrified. What was hidden behind this? it made him feel terrified from the bottom of his heart. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and took out a Yin True Fruit from the system space. Speaking of which, he was lucky that the rebate from the auction happened to be this kind of divine tree. The Yin True Fruit was a divine fruit that could heal one¡¯s soul. As long as one consumed it in time, it could prevent any hidden injuries. After swallowing it in two mouthfuls, Lin Mo summoned the Karmic Fire and injected them into his soul. ¡°Ah ¡­¡± In an instant, Lin Mo hugged his head and howled. He fell from the lotus seat formed by the fire and rolled on the ground. A burning sensation came from his soul, and an intense pain as if he was being pricked by needles assaulted him. This feeling made him want to tear his head apart. It was too unbearable¡­ After his scream, the sound of insects came. At this moment, he felt it very clearly. In the depths of his sea of consciousness, there was a Spirit Devouring Bug that was the same as the one he had seen before. The Spirit Devouring Bug had no way of resisting the Karmic Fire. It did not even leave behind ashes. ¡°Has it ended¡­¡± Lin Mo, who was breathing heavily with difficulty, sat up. The pain and dizziness in his head were still present. Sensing that the Karmic Fire around him was subsiding, Lin Mo heaved a long sigh of relief. Was the painful baptism finally coming to an end¡­ ¡°Crack¡­¡± The space around them trembled, showing signs of shattering. The Karmic Fire had completely dissipated. Lin Mo saw a fiery-red lotus seed in the shattered space. Its light dimmed, as if it had completed its mission and dissipated. He felt dizzy again, and after the world spun around him, he felt that his surroundings had changed. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that he had already left the space formed by the red karmic fire lotus seed. In front of him, the Qilin was sitting cross-legged on a green stone, cultivating seriously. ¡°Your perseverance is not bad, and the courage to throw everything away in the end is also very good ¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain¡¯s voice was full of praise. It was paying close attention to everything that was happening in this space. ¡°Senior, aren¡¯t the Spirit Devouring Bugs extinct?¡± Lin Mo asked the question in his heart. The Five Elements Mountain, who could not read Lin Mo¡¯s mind, asked, ¡°How did you know these are Spirit Devouring Bugs?¡± There was some doubt in its voice. This kind of creature that had gone extinct in ancient times should not have been recorded. Even it was told by the divine beast Qilin that such an existence existed when it was growing up¡­ ¡°I saw it in some ancient books.¡± Lin Mo made up a lie. The Five Elements Mountain did not ask any more questions and told them everything they knew. Spirit Devouring Bugs were not tolerated by heaven and earth, because the existence of such living beings was born to be the enemy of the great Dao. Their goal was to devour everything and cause the entire universe to fall into chaos. No one knew why these living beings were like this and what benefits they would gain from falling into chaos. ¡°Don¡¯t ask any more questions. We just got rid of them, so don¡¯t get infected in the short term,¡± the Five Elements Mountain warned. At the same time, he urged Lin Mo to leave. He had given what he needed to give, and the rest of the opportunities had to be left for those who came later. ¡°Senior, aren¡¯t you going to consider leaving the mountain? I¡¯m planning to establish a force in the northern lands. Do you want to come?¡± Lin Mo asked. However, the Five Elements Mountain ignored his invitation. ¡°Since you¡¯ve come all the way here, why don¡¯t you give me some opportunities?¡± Lin Mo spoke again, his eyes fixed on the divine medicine in the immortal land. ¡°Little brat, you¡¯ve already gained enough benefits. These are the hope of the future generations. You have to keep them.¡± The five elements mountain finally spoke. ¡°There are so many godly medicines here. After I gather them, they¡¯ll be fully grown in a thousand years. I don¡¯t think it¡¯ll take too much time, right?¡± Lin mo shamelessly claimed that he had the God devouring body and that he needed a lot of resources to cultivate. Since this place was an opportunity for future generations, he should have a share. ¡°No, many people will come to this place. These godly medicines will have to be distributed.¡± The Five Elements Mountain still refused. ¡°Then, for the sake of the Qilin, I can feel that you must have received a favor from the Qilin¡¯s mother. You might even be her disciple or something. Can you take care of little junior sister?¡± Lin mo still did not give up. ¡°That damn girl has already picked more than twenty stalks. She has been eating the divine herbs as if they were her meals during your baptism¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain could not stand it anymore and cursed angrily. Its territory had been destroyed by the Qilin. ¡°Give me a few more?¡± Lin Mo laughed and said. ¡°At most three¡­¡± The Five Elements Mountain nodded and finally agreed¡­ Hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed and began to search the herb field. Sensing Lin Mo¡¯s aura approaching, the Qilin opened her eyes and exited her cultivation state. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, you¡¯ve finally come out of seclusion. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll be annoyed to death if we stay any longer¡­¡± The Qilin hugged Lin Mo¡¯s arm and shook it slightly as she complained. After hearing the reason, Lin Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that the Five Elements Mountain had agreed to let the Qilin use any divine medicine here because they wanted her to cultivate well. In the end, this Qilin ate the godly medicine like it was her rice and gobbled up a lot of good things. The Five Elements Mountain did not allow her to pick any more, and persuaded the Qilin not to be too greedy and to leave some opportunities for the people who came later¡­ where can we find the quasi-celestial medicine? let¡¯s go pick three and leave. Lin Mo did not dare to speak ill of the Five Elements Mountain with the Qilin. He planned to pick the three precious herbs as soon as possible, in case the five elements mountain went back on their word in anger. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to pick the quasi-immortal herbs.¡± Just as the Qilin was about to take Lin Mo there, the Five Elements Mountain¡¯s roar was heard. Chapter 753 - 753 System Mission 753 System Mission After a wave of spatial fluctuations, three divine medicines appeared in front of Lin Mo. One was a tier 9 heaven-grade while the other two were tier 8. The Five Elements Mountain had forcefully sent them out just as they had put them away. Before they left, Lin Mo even heard the Five Elements Mountain cursing¡­ ¡°Where is this place? How stingy. There are so many divine medicines and immortal medicines, but they only gave us three¡­¡± The Qilin looked around and found that she did not know the way, so she complained again. ¡°Let¡¯s go first. Where¡¯s the divine medicine you have? Let¡¯s hold an auction nearby.¡± Lin Mo laughed. There were more than 20 divine medicines on the Qilin. With the Qilin¡¯s personality, she would not pick anything that was not of a high grade. If he was lucky, he could get at least a dozen quasi-immortal medicines¡­ ¡°Cough, cough, here¡­¡± The Qilin patted its round little belly and smiled a little awkwardly. ¡°You glutton ¡­¡± When he heard that the Qilin had eaten more than 20 divine medicines, Lin Mo almost fainted. That was at least ten quasi-immortal herbs¡­ It was gone, it was gone just like that. This was simply¡­ What a waste¡­ ¡°Hey, don¡¯t we still have a drop of Qilin blood in our hands? it can be the finale of the auction.¡± Sensing the ferocity in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, the Qilin hurriedly said, even though it was her mother¡¯s blood. However, since it was stored in such a way, it must be left for future generations. Lin Mo shook his head in anger when he saw the Qilin¡¯s carefree attitude. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s leave this area first ¡­¡± According to their calculations, they had been in the Five Elements Mountain for a month. The news of this place had already spread, and many people had obtained quasi-immortal grade treasures. Tang Ru, the seventh princess of the Holy Blood Water Dragon Clan, had obtained a drop of heart blood of an ancient true dragon¡­ This was a treasure that was infinitely close to the immortal-grade, and it could make her bloodline purer. Perhaps one day, she could really shed her water dragon body and achieve the body of a true dragon¡­ ¡°The true dragon must be a Great Emperor. The blood of a Great Emperor¡¯s heart is such a great opportunity¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Tang Ru must have been the first to enter the Five Elements Mountain. She had searched for many times and finally found a treasure that she was satisfied with. ¡°There¡¯s a city up ahead, it¡¯s newly built ¡­¡± The Qilin pointed to the front. After the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Some people recalled the rumor that someone had used a Memory Crystal to record the scene of Lin Mo obtaining the treasure. The War Demon Spear pierced through the ground and obtained a drop of blood. Needless to say, this must be the blood essence of some terrifying existence that Lin Mo had obtained. Such an opportunity was enviable¡­ ¡°There¡¯s a branch of the Dragon Palace here. Should we set up a branch? ¡± The Qilin pointed to the front and said. There was a huge Dragon Palace there, and many people were gathered there. Tang Ru was collecting divine medicines to refine the drop of true dragon¡¯s heart blood ¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s make a temporary one. It¡¯s enough to hold an auction.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. There was indeed a building opposite the Dragon Palace, but no one would do business here. After all, they could npt compete with the people from the Dragon Palace. ¡°Fellow Daoists, please help to publicize that I will be holding an auction here in two hours.¡± Lin Mo occupied a building to attract the attention of the crowd and prepare for the auction. The living beings of the various races had a good understanding of his reputation. After all, the news of the Quasi-Immortal Martial Arts Technique being auctioned back then had spread throughout the entire ancient battlefield. Everyone knew that Lin Mo would not cheat people during the auction and that he had many treasures on him. Thus, in less than an hour, the entire pavilion was filled to the brim. In order to accommodate more people, the private rooms that had been built were also dismantled, just to accommodate more people¡­ ¡°Everyone, please be quiet. The auction will begin immediately.¡± On the stage, Lin Mo walked out and looked at the crowd in surprise. In just an hour, so many people had come. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen the bigger pavilion ¡­ The crowd quickly quieted down and focused their attention on Lin Mo. They wanted to see what kind of treasure would be auctioned this time. ¡°This is an incomplete set of Formation Flags. The complete version has five flags, and two of them are missing. However, it can still be used to set up the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. It can mess up Yin and Yang, fix the five elements, and destroy everything.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s incomplete, and the strength of the formation is limited. Interested friends can bid.¡± When he was tidying up the system space, he remembered that there was such a set of Formation Flags. He had snatched it from Gongsun Wenhao and it was of no use to him. Now that he was auctioning it, he could take it out. It could be considered a good start. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. This kind of array must be of a very high grade. The complete version might be close to the quasi-immortal level. It was very rare and worth the price. The atmosphere of the auction suddenly became heated. Many people started bidding, and they were all array masters with a certain level of attainment in array techniques. They loved these ancient Formation Flags the most. There would usually be the existence of formations on it, which had high research value. ¡°I¡¯ll pay half a piece of Blazing Yang Jade Essence.¡± Someone had made a bid, and he could no longer hold back. ¡°You dare to bid for a mere half a piece of Blazing Yang Jade Essence? I¡¯m afraid this is not even enough for the starting price. I¡¯ll offer two tier 5 heaven-grade divine medicines. ¡°I¡¯ll offer three ¡­¡± There was a lot of noise and many people were bidding. In the end, this set of incomplete array flags was bought by a mysterious woman for a heaven grade level seven divine pill. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Incomplete Five Spirit Formation Flag. ] [ Successfully triggered 5000-fold auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Complete Five Spirit Formation Flag. ] After obtaining the rebate treasure, Lin Mo continued with the auction of the next item. ¡°The second item is a tier 8 heaven-grade divine medicine, the Gold Spirit Fruit.¡± ¡°Divine medicines are rare, so don¡¯t miss it.¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. Immediately, more than ten people stood up, interested in the Gold Spirit Fruit. ¡°Hehe, you do have quite a lot of treasures on you ¡­¡± The door of the attic was kicked open roughly, and a group of people walked in. Some creatures were about to curse, but when they saw who it was, they could not help but shrink their necks and did not dare to speak. ¡°Behemoth people, you still dare to come and find trouble?¡± The Qilin, who had been waiting backstage, walked out and stared at the shentu person at the front. ¡°But that¡¯s good too. Last time, you only left an arm. It wasn¡¯t enough to eat. This time, you can leave all of it ¡­¡± She smiled slightly, revealing her cute little canine teeth and licking her lips. To say such words with such a cute appearance, all of the living beings participating in the auction were dumbfounded. This was a purple-gold behemoth, an existence with the noblest bloodline in the behemoth clan. In the eyes of the Qilin, it was just food? [ System mission: someone has been detected to sabotage the auction. Please kill the person who sabotaged the auction so that the auction can proceed smoothly. ] [ Upon completion of the mission, you will receive a chance to receive the Holy Spirit Empowerment. ] The system¡¯s notification rang. The system mission that had not been triggered for a long time had finally arrived. It asked him to kill the people who were causing trouble. These behemoth people were all on the must-kill list¡­ ¡°Qilin, watch the place. I will deal with these people¡­¡± Chapter 754 - 754 Fighting Against the Shentu Zhe 754 Fighting Against the Shentu Zhe ¡°You¡¯re in the limelight again ¡­¡± The Qilin was very displeased. Every time they encountered danger, Lin Mo would always be at the forefront to block them. It was as if she was a weak little girl ¡­ ¡°Be good, don¡¯t let anyone cause trouble here.¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He did not need the help of the Qilin to deal with the behemoth tribe. The only thing he needed to worry about was that the Purple-Gold Behemoth would escape. If a top expert was determined to leave, it would not be easy for him to make him stay. ¡°Although I was tricked by you last time, I sensed it after the battle and broke through again. Today, you will die without a doubt.¡± Shentu Zhe laughed. He was extremely confident. At this moment, people could clearly see his cultivation level. He was actually a fifth step ruler. Some people looked at Lin Mo worriedly. They all knew that it was very difficult for the God Devouring Body to break through to the next realm. Otherwise, Lin Mo would not have thought about auctioning resources everywhere he went. Now that the Shentu Zhe had broken through two realms, Lin Mo was in danger. ¡°I still think that Shentu Zhe will not gain any advantage. Don¡¯t forget, the Qilin is still there.¡± Someone reminded them. It was only then that people remembered that even if Lin Mo was no match for them, there was still the Qilin. This was a divine beast with unparalleled combat strength. Although the Purple-Gold Behemoth was strong, it was still a little inferior to the Qilin. ¡°Fight from afar. I alone am enough to kill you today.¡± Lin Mo walked out, wanting to leave the city. ¡°If you want to watch the show, you can stay here.¡± Qilin stood on the stage and took Lin Mo¡¯s place to knock on the auction hammer. Then, a green light appeared between her eyebrows, and a vertical eye slowly opened. This was her Eye of Martial Arts. Ever since she had cultivated it, no one had been able to force her to use it. Now that he was watching the battle outside the city, he could use it to save the people outside from being affected by the aftermath of the battle. ¡°Haha, how considerate. They even provide spectator services.¡± One of them laughed loudly. He had originally wanted to go out and watch the battle. Only after seeing the Qilin tear open space and use the Eye of Martial Arts to project the battle outside the city did the people sit down to watch. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s a power formed by a few supreme experts in the ancient battlefield. The Molin Chamber of Commerce¡¯s service is the best. Many living beings agreed. They were at ease because he had protected the auctioneer during the previous auction. ¡°Boom!¡± There was a violent explosion outside the city, and everyone in the city was in an uproar. When some of the living beings heard that Lin Mo had fought with Shentu Zhe, they put down what they were doing and went out of the city to watch the battle. ¡°They¡¯re too powerful. Just a casual exchange of blows from them is enough to block my strongest attack ¡­¡± ¡°Is this a battle between peerless geniuses?¡± Outside the city, the behemoth clan had formed a battle circle with the battle flag in their hands. Their goal was naturally to prevent Lin Mo from escaping. At the same time, they also wanted to avoid making too much noise and affecting the cities not far away, or they would offend many people. ¡°Boom!¡± There was a lot of noise from the battle. The two of them did not talk much, and they began to fight the most intense battle on their bodies. It was as if two meteors had collided in the sea of stars, instantly erupting with a dazzling light. ¡°Boom!¡± The two figures fell to the ground at the same time, like stars falling from the sky. In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The space shattered in an instant and continued to spread. The people who were watching the battle from afar were all stunned. They looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. This was only a single collision between their physical bodies, yet half of the mountain range had crumbled. The power was too great. ¡°You¡¯ve also broken through!¡± Shentu Zhe was shocked and said. As he spoke, the purple-gold light on his body shone brightly. The Purple-Gold Behemoth bloodline was used to the extreme. The last time he had faced Lin Mo, he had not been able to fully unleash the power of his Purple-Gold Behemoth bloodline because his realm was not high enough. ¡°bBt so what? the God devouring body doesn¡¯t directly increase one¡¯s combat power. It¡¯s more of an aid.¡± Shentu Zhe said with a calm expression. He walked toward Lin Mo and extended his palm. The arm shapeshifted and pressed down on Lin Mo. He wanted everyone to see Lin Mo being suppressed by him. The purple-gold rune light spread and curled around his arm, increasing his power and adding a sense of majesty. At this moment, everyone felt as if it was not an arm, but a heavenly sting that came down as if the sky was falling. ¡°Whoosh!¡± In the face of such a terrifying attack, Lin Mo¡¯s expression remained calm. After a quick glance, he rushed forward. Golden symbols flickered on his hands, and golden feathers appeared on his arms. In the next moment, they transformed into Kun Peng Claws. ¡°How can you contend against me with your firefly-like strength?¡± Shentu Zhe sneered, and the speed at which his arm descended increased. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise. Lin Mo¡¯s seemingly harmless Kun Peng Claws contained unimaginable power. ¡°Pfft!¡± The Kun Peng¡¯s Claws left a bloody wound on the Purple-Gold Behemoth¡¯s arm, and the runes on it slowly melted. Immediately after, the Kun Peng Wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back spread open. He stepped into the void, and the Qilin mark condensed. With the Qilin Steps, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Shentu Zhe. He kicked his face fiercely. The powerful force caused Shentu Zhe face to turn pale. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth as he flew back while screaming. Shentu Zhe was kicked in the face. His expression was a little stiff, and blood oozed out as he flew backwards. He could not accept such an outcome and even felt insulted. He was a Purple-Gold Behemoth, an existence with an extremely noble bloodline among demonic beasts. He only needed to evolve one more time and he would be comparable to a divine beast. The first direct confrontation after the power of his bloodline was stomped on his face by his opponent ¡­ How could he accept this? He was a one-in-a-million genius in the Behemoth clan, and his bloodline was pure. He was known as a legend who had the potential to become a Great Emperor. With this status, his confidence reached its peak. However, all of his pride had been thwarted after he met Lin Mo. This time, he had even been kicked in the face¡­ ¡°Shentu Zhe has underestimated the enemy. He thinks that he can suppress Lin Mo¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The power of the Kun Peng Claw is restrained. When it explodes in an instant, its might is even greater¡­¡± Many of the living beings were engaged in a heated discussion. Some of the more observant ones were able to analyze the crux of this battle. At the same time, Shentu Zhe, who had regained his senses, could still feel a sharp pain on his face. Lin Mo had used the Qilin steps in this kick. Although he had only taken one step, it was already very powerful. After hearing the discussions of the living beings around him, anger, shame, and cold killing intent gathered. At this moment, he erupted with his strongest combat power. He only had one goal in mind, and that was to tear Lin Mo apart completely ¡­ ¡°Roar!¡± He roared at the sky and formed a special rune with his hands. The moment the purple light bloomed, a terrifying spiritual Qi burst out from his body. ¡°Receive my wrath.¡± At this moment, Shentu Zhe had already reached the sixth step of the ruler realm and his breath was long. A berserk ability unique to the behemoth clan. Greatly increases one¡¯s strength for a certain period of time. Most importantly, the higher the bloodline, the less negative the effects would be after the upgrade. With his Purple-Gold Behemoth bloodline, there was basically no effect after the fury ended. He could even consume his own blood essence to activate it again. Chapter 755 - 755 Invite the Ancestral Spirit 755 Invite the Ancestral Spirit ¡°Bang!¡± He punched out, and even the space cracked. As he attacked, the world seemed to respond, building up momentum for him. His other hand formed a seal, and as the seal condensed, the surrounding spiritual Qi gradually became violent. Broken stones flew into the air, and the surrounding earth elements gradually increased. More and more cracks appeared in the space, spreading out. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo did not dodge and chose to face it head-on. Kun Peng Runes appeared on his right palm. The laws of Yin and Yang continued to intertwine as they collided with Shentu Zhe¡¯s fist. A series of explosions rang out from this place like thunder. Everyone watching the battle were shocked, and they all stepped back. The behemoth clansmen were sent flying. The array that they had set up did not have any effect and was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle between the two. Fortunately, the two of them had moved further and further away from the city. Otherwise, this place would have been completely destroyed. At this time, no one dared to go down and check, so they could only watch the battle from a distance. The difference was too great, so once they were affected, they would not even be left with ashes. On the battlefield, the two figures continued to cross paths. Every time they met, it was a violent collision. Countless runes filled the sky, shattering the space and stirring up the void. A turbulent current emerged. This was a void turbulence that could devour everything, condensed from extremely chaotic spatial fluctuations. One could only imagine how intense the battle between the two was, and how much damage they had caused. Finally, the two of them separated. They did not continue to fight, but stirred the void. After the chaos, the space crack was gradually repaired by this world, and the void turbulence was also calmed. Unfortunately, this peace did not last. They once again engaged in a great battle. The clash between the purple light and the golden light once again tore through space, erupting with unparalleled power. Shentu Zhe¡¯s eyes were cold as he looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. He was already three steps higher than Lin Mo by relying on his bloodline. Even with such a huge advantage, he still could not kill Lin Mo. He used a bronze battle spear, which exuded an ancient fighting spirit. Unfortunately, Lin Mo also had the War Demon Spear, which was refined by the Kun Peng. It was one of the most powerful magic weapons under the quasi-celestial weapon. In another battle, Shentu Zhe still did not gain any advantage. On the contrary, due to the delay, the realm that he had raised with his bloodline had fallen. Although he was still two steps higher than Lin Mo, it caused the pressure on Lin Mo to decrease greatly. He began to suppress Shentu Zhe. ¡°How is this possible? God Devouring Body¡­ Is it really stronger than my purple-gold bloodline?¡± He was unwilling to accept this and did npt want to believe this scene. According to historical records, the human race¡¯s strongest physique was comparable to a divine beast¡¯s when it came to cultivation. However, the Purple-Gold Behemoth bloodline was not among the bloodlines was not one of the strongest bloodlines within the Demon Clan¡­ ¡°You place too much importance on cultivation, constitution, and bloodline.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and said with a calm expression. Hearing this, the Shentu Zhe expression darkened. He felt that Lin Mo was humiliating him. ¡°Forget it. Why am I telling you this ¡­¡± After coming back to his senses, Lin Mo chuckled. If the Shentu Zhe had been enlightened because of his words, he would have been helping the enemy¡­ ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t think that you can defeat me just because you have the God Devouring Body,¡± Shentu Zhe said. The Purple-Gold Behemoth phantom behind him spat out a purple-gold rune. ¡°Boom!¡± The Kun Peng Runes dissolved it and suppressed it. The two of them once again engaged in a battle. Shentu Zhe transformed into his true form. Endless purple light flickered as he stared at Lin Mo with his scarlet eyes. ¡°What a powerful bloodline power! The behemoth clan is indeed worthy of the title of dragon eater. The purple gold behemoth is probably comparable to a divine beast.¡± In the distance, the creatures watching the battle were confused. They all felt that the Shentu Zhe¡¯s bloodline was not weaker than that of the Qilin. Although they all knew that the title of Dragon Eater meant that it probably ate Sub-Dragons. However, since ancient times, anything that had the slightest connection to dragons was a symbol of the strong. For example, the powerful race of the Demon State, the Holy Blood Water Dragon Clan, even had rumors that the body of a true dragon was buried underground. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. The bloodline of a Qilin is one in a million. It¡¯s a top-notch existence among the demonic beasts. The purple-gold behemoth can¡¯t compare to it¡­¡± The sounds of discussion rose and fell. However, it had to be said that Shentu Zhe was indeed a top genius among the demonic beasts. The battle with Lin Mo was so intense, and the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, but the two of them still had not used their strongest trump cards. ¡°So what if you have a heaven-defying physique? my cultivation level is two steps higher than yours. This time, I will definitely kill you!¡± Shentu Zhe roared angrily. The huge purple-gold behemoth roared towards the sky, giving off a deafening roar. In an instant, the earth quaked and the mountains shook. This roar was even more powerful than sound wave martial arts, causing the creatures who were watching the battle from afar to feel dizzy. ¡°It¡¯s too terrifying. There¡¯s clearly not much difference in our cultivation levels¡­ ¡± Some people were crying. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. This kind of genius is one in ten thousand. His future goal is to become a Great Emperor. As long as his Dao heart isn¡¯t destroyed, he¡¯ll almost certainly become a quasi-Emperor. ¡°That¡¯s right. The future of the northern land will be ruled by these people¡­¡± ¡°Roar!¡± The purple-gold behemoth roared in pain, and a golden roc fell from the clouds in the horizon. The sharp claws pierced through the behemoth¡¯s back, and blood gushed out. ¡°Let¡¯s stop here! You can go now.¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly, and the great roc fell to the ground. In an instant, a vast ocean was formed, and a huge black fish swam in the sea. The fish tail swayed, and the water hit 3000 miles, drowning the purple-gold behemoth. The earth elements in the surroundings were drowned out as the Dao laws of Yin and Yang converged. Lin Mo transformed to his human form, holding a sharp sword formed from golden wings. As the sword beam slashed down, the huge meteorites that Shentu Zhe had just formed by circulating the earth element were cut into pieces. In the end, there was a loud boom as the earth and the void exploded. ¡°Sun and Moon in the Same Sky.¡± Lin Mo shouted. At that moment, he seemed to have turned into the sun, illuminating everything and destroying everything. This was a shocking scene, and all the living beings were shocked. Was this the supreme technique of the Kun Peng? The martial arts that it had evolved into was so terrifying that it was surrounded by the extreme Dao of Yin and Yang. Shentu Zhe chanted an incantation and quickly formed a seal with his hands after transforming into a human. A powerful fluctuation spread around his body. ¡°Ancestral Spirit, please!¡± With a furious roar, the shadow of a behemoth appeared behind him again. He thought it was still a purple-gold behemoth, but Lin Mo felt that the aura of the shadow was different. ¡°Ultimate control of the earth element. There are also some destructive fluctuations¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The Dao Law of Destruction was an existence that was not inferior to the Dao law of Yin Yang. Besides, that behemoth was different from the purple-gold behemoth. In particular, there was a single horn on his forehead that was purple-gold in color. The runes on his body were also very terrifying. ¡°It seems like the Purple-Gold Behemoth isn¡¯t the ultimate bloodline of the behemoth race¡­¡± Lin Mo mumbled. However, this was no longer important. Today, no matter what tricks Shentu Zhe had up his sleeve, he had to send him out, even if Lin Mo had to call the Qilin over to gang up on him¡­ Chapter 756 - 756 The Fifth Step 756 The Fifth Step The shadow of the Kun Peng appeared beside him as Lin Mo unleashed the Kun Peng Art to the extreme. At the same time, he urged the power of the God Devouring body to create a black hole next to him. There was nothing inside the black hole, but it could swallow everything. Lin Mo¡¯s entire aura changed after he used two extremely powerful forces. ¡°Swish!¡± The Kun Peng Wings on his back spread open and he pounced over. The Kun Peng was also fighting with the Ancestral Spirit that Shentu Zhe had summoned. With the support of the God Devouring Body, it was completely suppressing the other party. ¡°Bang!¡± In the end, Shentu Zhe was no match for Lin Mo and was hit by the sharp sword, leaving a bloody sword mark on his body. He flew backward and coughed up a large amount of blood. His face was pale and he was heavily injured. The bloodline of the Purple-Gold Behemoth allowed him to summon the strongest Behemoth Ancestral Spirit. Even so, it was still no match for Lin Mo and was defeated. The Ancestral Spirit could not withstand the Kun Peng¡¯s attacks and was completely torn apart. ¡°You think you¡¯re worthy of being my enemy?¡± Lin Mo shouted, deliberately provoking Shentu Zhe. He was preparing for a killing move. Runes interweaved between his hands and continuously gathered. A strong wind whistled as eight wind whirlwinds formed from the condensation of wind elements. With a wave of his hand, astral winds flew out. The martial arts technique that Shentu Zhe was still preparing was pierced through, and his entire body flew out horizontally. Lin Mo chased after him. The astral winds continued to attack, preventing Shentu Zhe from using his martial arts. With a kick, he used Qilin Steps to take two steps forward. Before the other party could dodge, he ruthlessly kicked Shentu Zhe¡¯s chest. With a boom, the latter was sent flying again, and the injuries on his body became even more serious. ¡°You should be glad that this is the ancient battlefield. Otherwise, you would have really died¡­¡± Lin Mo sneered and continued to attack. At the same time, the astral winds around his body found an opportunity to heavily injure Shentu Zhe again. ¡°But it makes sense. If someone else was outside, you might not dare to fight me alone, and you would ask the elders of the Behemoth clan to get you the Kun Peng Art and the Qilin blood.¡± Lin Mo continued to speak as he punched Shentu Zhe. ¡°You said that I have the God Devouring body, but what about you? You have the Behemoth bloodline and a powerful background. Without that, you don¡¯t deserve to be my enemy.¡± After a series of attacks, the Eight Wind Chimes of the Eight Demonic Puppets were used up. Under Lin Mo¡¯s repeated attacks, Shentu Zhe was also seriously injured. His body flew hundreds of miles away and crashed into a mountain. ¡°Don¡¯t let him escape ¡­¡± Lin Mo flapped his Kun Peng Wings and arrived in front of the Shent Tu at an extreme speed. As for the rest of the spectators, their worldview had already been refreshed. At this moment, they were like wooden sculptures, not moving at all. Especially the members of the Behemoth Clan, they could not believe it. How could it be like this? Shentu Zhe had been defeated just like that. He had been defeated so thoroughly. In the end, he had been beaten until he had no power to fight back. ¡°The God Devouring Body has such terrifying power. It¡¯s hard to imagine.¡± Some creatures cried out in surprise and finally came to their senses. All of this was too unbelievable. Shentu Zhe was one of the top geniuses of the demon race and was said to be able to become a Great Emperor in the future. However, he was defeated, and he was defeated by the weakening human race. This was hard for many living beings to accept. Only the human race broke out in cheers. No matter what, Lin Mo was still a human and one of the future hopes of the human race. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Shentu Zhe let out an angry howl. He stared at Lin Mo, but he felt a sense of powerlessness. In the previous battle, his storage ring had been snatched away by Lin Mo. Although he resisted with all his might and even destroyed the treasures inside, Lin Mo still managed to save some of them. When he saw a golden jade talisman land in Lin Mo¡¯s hands, he knew that he could not escape. The ruins and opportunities that followed the ancient battlefield would have nothing to do with him¡­ ¡± Tier 9 heaven-grade Realm-Breaking Talisman. It can tear space and travel across ten states. It can be used once.¡± The system¡¯s voice rang out in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. The rune he had just obtained was actually a Realm-Breaking Talisman. He still remembered that Xia You had given him a Realm-Breaking Talisman, which was a quasi-immortal grade talisman. Once it was used, one could instantly enter the void and cross hundreds of continents in a flash. ¡°If it¡¯s auctioned, I¡¯ll might be lucky enough to get another quasi-immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled in satisfaction. He did not expect to get such a benefit¡­ ¡°Alright, you should be on your way.¡± Holding the War Demon Spear in his hand, Lin Mo stabbed out with the spear, piercing through Shentu Zhe¡¯s forehead. ¡°The next time I find an opportunity, you won¡¯t have a jade talisman to save your life.¡± Lin mo said as he watched Shentu Zhe¡¯s spirit fly away. He wanted to stop him, but he did not have the means to do so. Otherwise, he would definitely make this guy die. ¡°Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission and receiving the Holy Spirit Empowerment.¡± The system¡¯s voice rang out again. Before Lin Mo could say anything, the world shook. The surrounding chaotic mist appeared and covered everything. All living beings could no longer see Lin Mo¡¯s figure. Even the Qilin, who had been using her Eye of Martial Arts to check, could not see anything. ¡°I thought it could be stored ¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless, but he knew that time was precious. He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. Fortunately, he had the God Devouring Body. After using the God Devouring Technique, his cultivation speed was very fast. A beam of holy light shot up into the sky. From the firmament, the extremely rich Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth spread and poured into Lin Mo¡¯s body. ¡°Buzz ¡­¡± This time, the God Devouring body was extremely active and devoured endless energy. His aura was also rising, and in less than ten minutes, he had broken through to the fourth step of ruler realm. It did not stop. The Holy Spirit Empowerment was still going on. During this period of time, the living beings outside were already in an uproar. ¡°This is impossible ¡­¡± The most painful ones were the Behemoth clan. They could not believe this scene. Shentu Zhe was the pride of their clan. How could such a person be defeated? This kind of result was difficult for them to accept. ¡°A top genius has been defeated and lost the opportunity of the ancient battlefield. Can Shentu Zhe still catch up?¡± Someone muttered. In the past, many of the younger generation had suppressed their cultivation in order to enter the ancient battlefield, not allowing themselves to break through. The goal was to obtain the opportunities inside. Now that Shentu Zhe had been eliminated, the previous suppression had failed. The gap between him and his peers would only grow bigger and bigger, and in the end, he would be left in the dust ¡­ ¡°Boom, boom, boom¡­¡± In the sky, thunderclouds rolled and strange phenomena appeared frequently, as if the heavens were angry. At that moment, the mist that enveloped Lin mo had dissipated. His Holy Spirit Empowerment had ended. ¡°I¡¯m think this is equivalent to feeding me an immortal medicine¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. The benefits of the Holy Spirit Empowerment were simply too great. The God Devouring body had eaten its fill, and two-thirds of the energy had been devoured by it. Lin Mo had only absorbed one-third of it. Even so, he had broken through two levels and reached the fifth step of ruler realm. ¡°I¡¯ll have more of these random missions in the future¡­¡± He was full of anticipation, but he soon looked at the sky with a strange expression. There, heavenly thunder rumbled continuously, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared. Lin Mo and the other living beings could vaguely sense that the surrounding Dao laws were transmitting anger¡­ Chapter 757 - 757 The Wrath of the Heavens 757 The Wrath of the Heavens ¡°Strange, how did this phenomenon appear?¡± Some creatures were puzzled. Some even thought that it was because Lin Mo had killed Shentu Zhe that the heavenly Dao had taken pity on the Behemoth clan. Some people said that the God Devouring Body was too overpowered and that there was no bottleneck for him, which angered the heavens¡­ Everyone had their own opinions, but Lin Mo frowned. He felt that this phenomenon was related to him. ¡°System, will there be any strange phenomena after the Holy Spirit Empowerment?¡± Lin Mo asked in his heart. ¡°The Holy Spirit empowerment has already ended, so there won¡¯t be any additional abnormalities.¡± Lin Mo could not help but feel worried after getting an answer. The strange phenomenon in the sky continued for a while before gradually dissipating. Some of the creatures were still discussing the battle between Lin Mo and Shentu Zhe. On his way back, Lin Mo met other Behemoth clansmen, but he showed no mercy and killed them all. When he returned to the city, the auction was still going on. Although he was interrupted, he had many good things on him. ¡°Everyone, the disturbance has been removed. The auction for the heaven-grade tier 8 Gold Spirit Fruit will now begin. Those who are interested can start bidding. Lin Mo struck the auction hammer, and the auction continued. ¡°One heaven-grade tier 8 divine pill.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll add three more heaven-grade tier 7 divine pills.¡± ¡°Two heaven-grade tier 8 divine pills¡­¡± There were many people bidding for it, and the price rose one after another. In the blink of an eye, the price had already risen to three heaven-grade tier 8 divine pills. Even so, there were still three people bidding, unwilling to give up. ¡°It¡¯s actually the Dragon Palace who offered the price ¡­¡± ¡°Damn it, the people in the Dragon Palace have been collecting resources like crazy recently¡­¡± Some people murmured. Some creatures had already sensed that Tang Ru was going to refine that drop of True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood. It was not easy to refine the blood of an Emperor-level True Dragon. ¡°Since no one is bidding, this Gold Spirit Fruit belongs to the Dragon Palace.¡± Lin Mo was not interested in whoever got the divine fruit, as long as they could afford it in the end. After the transaction was completed, the system¡¯s notification sound rang out. Because of the three heaven-grade tier 8 divine pills, the price had already slightly exceeded the Golden Spirit Fruit. As such, the return this time was not considered high. It was a heaven-grade tier 9 divine fruit. He secretly sent them to the back, causing the sulking Qilin to instantly smile. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious. There¡¯s still one last auction item. This is an extremely rare treasure. I have just obtained it ¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The Golden Spirit fruit had originally been the highlight of this auction. However, after killing Shentu Zhe, he had gained something new. A golden jade talisman appeared, and in an instant, a golden light brightened, illuminating everything. ¡°It¡¯s a Realm-Breaking Talisman¡­¡± Some of the living beings were shocked. After recognizing what it was, they were even more shocked. All the living beings present had watched the battle and knew how Lin Mo had obtained the world breaking talisman. Some people swallowed their saliva, drooling. Some people had even started to make promises to the people around them, asking to borrow heavenly materials and earthly treasures for the auction. Having this Realm-Breaking Talisman was equivalent to having a life. If one used it when they were in danger, even a Supreme Saint would not be able to stop them. They could only use the spatial ripples to find them. Shentu Zhe had been too confident and did not think that he would lose. Therefore, he had not considered using the Realm-Breaking Talisman. Unfortunately, Lin Mo had already snatched the talisman away when he wanted to use it. After losing this escape method, he could only be sent out of the ancient battlefield and lose all the opportunities that would follow¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sure everyone has seen it, so I won¡¯t introduce it any further. Heaven-grade tier 9 Realm-Breaking Talisman, bartering. You can start the bidding.¡± After the auction hammer was knocked, even the people of the Dragon Palace were tempted. After a brief discussion, they took out their communication jade talismans and asked the people above if they wanted to bid. ¡°Owner Lin, I have an ancient sacrificial altar here. I guarantee that it¡¯s worth enough. How about I exchange it for this Realm- Breaking Talisman?¡± Before anyone made a bid, Lin Mo heard a voice transmission. It was obvious that the other party was unwilling to reveal the fact that he had a supreme treasure and wanted to make a secret exchange. Lin Mo was a little tempted. The ancient battlefield was filled with ancient objects. This altar might be able to earn him a huge profit. Of course, it was also possible that the altar had nothing¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I still want the divine herbs, divine fruits, and divine pills.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s soul power locked onto the other party and he rejected him. The other party did not waste any time. After seeing that there was no hope, they decisively retreated. ¡°Three Heaven-grade tier 9 divine pills.¡± ¡°I have a divine pill here. It¡¯s called the Fire Dao Divine Pill, and it¡¯s infinitely close to the quasi-immortal grade. If it¡¯s nourished by the legendary immortal-grade item and the Myriad Spirit Soil, it¡¯ll be able to advance in less than a year.¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? The Myriad Spirit Soil is a real immortal-grade treasure. How can it be so easy to get? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The price of a Fire Dao Divine Pill is less than the three divine pills¡­¡± Everyone was discussing, and some were even bidding for it. They did not want to miss out on this world breaking talisman. ¡°I wonder if Owner Lin accepts martial arts and cultivation methods?¡± Suddenly, someone asked. Everyone knew that Lin Mo had the God Devourer body and the purpose of the auction. Accumulating resources and cultivating the God Devouring Body was like burning money. He had to swallow a vast amount of natural treasures to break through. This was also the reason why everyone present was bidding with cultivation resources. Now that there was a living being who wanted to use cultivation techniques and martial arts to compete, Lin Mo might not agree¡­ ¡°Sure, but it will be worth a lot less. If you can accept it, then bid¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded nonchalantly. He then recalled something and quickly said, ¡± I only accept heaven-grade tier 9 ones¡­¡± As soon as he said this, some of the living beings were disappointed. A heaven-grade tier 9 martial skill could even get a Supreme Saint to help one out¡­ However, it was the minimum here, and they even had to give a discount¡­ ¡°That¡¯s good. I have nine heaven-grade tier 9 cultivation methods and 13 Martial Arts Techniques. I wonder how much they are worth¡­¡± The one who first asked the question smiled and threw out a large number of scrolls. Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Some of these scrolls contained an ancient aura, and they were obtained from the ruins. As for the rest, they might have been obtained from others ¡­ ¡°Set the price!¡± That living being said indifferently. He wanted to bid for the Realm-Breaking Talisman. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to add on the Fire Dao Divine Pill earlier, I can set your price as a quasi-immortal treasure.¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. He recalled that this person had previously bid an immortal pill that was close to the quasi-immortal grade. Although he did not have the Myriad Spirit Soil with him, who knew what would happen in the future? What if he could get it one day? ¡°I need to bid my Fire Dao Divine Pill too?¡± The other party thought for a while and finally nodded. He took out the Fire Dao Divine Pill. ¡°Is there anyone else who is willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. A quasi-immortal level treasure. Only a few people present could afford such a price. The Dragon Palace was one of them, but they had obviously been ordered not to participate in the competition. After all, Tang Ru needed to consume a lot of resources to refine the True Dragon¡¯s Heart Blood and evolve into a True Dragon¡­ Chapter 758 - 758 The Scarlet Plain 758 The Scarlet Plain As for the other forces, after weighing the pros and cons, they chose to give up. However, the way they looked at the creature was more or less unfriendly. However, the creature showed no fear and even raised his middle finger in disdain. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, fellow Daoist. Do you need my help?¡± Lin Mo laughed as the auction hammer rang. This guy had been targeted, and he had gained a lot this time. For the sake of this, he was willing to put in more effort. ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t need it. Goodbye.¡± The creature cupped its fists and a pair of blood wings spread out on its back. In the next moment, its body turned into a blood-red light and disappeared. ¡°The Blood Wings Clan?¡± Some creatures cried out in alarm as they recognized this person. Only the Blood Wings Clan had such a technique. They were a human-like clan. It was said that they were the descendants of the human race and the bat clan in ancient times. Their bloodlines had mutated and become even more powerful. This race also had a terrifying existence. Ever since they entered the ancient battlefield, they had been searching for ruins and had never appeared. ¡°Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the heaven-grade tier 9 Realm-Breaking Talisman.¡± ¡°Triggered 9000-fold auction rebate.¡± ¡°Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman.¡± Another Quasi-Immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman was in his hand. However, after carefully observing it, he shook his head slightly. Compared to the one Xia You had given him, the one he had just obtained was a little weak. It should be at the level of a quasi-immortal, but it could still only be used once. Hmph, it covered a distance of about 50 continents. ¡°That¡¯s good too. Next, I can go and find Qilin¡¯s mother¡­¡± After dismissing the crowd, Lin Mo returned backstage. At this time, the Qilin had just finished her cultivation, and her aura had increased greatly. ¡°You¡¯ve also broken through?¡± Lin Mo was taken aback. He looked at the Qilin, who had just finished cultivating, and realized that this little girl had already reached the fifth step of the Ruler Realm¡­ ¡°I was already on the verge of a breakthrough. I¡¯ll be fine after eating the divine fruit¡­¡± The Qilin stuck out its little tongue and immediately sensed something. It said in surprise, ¡°How is this possible? How did you break through so quickly¡­¡± She had thought that she would be able to pull apart Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation by two levels, but in the end, she had just caught up¡­ ¡°After killing Shentu Zhe, I obtained a treasure, and I broke through.¡± Lin Mo smiled and did not explain. The two of them left and went back to Lin City first. They left the cultivation techniques and scrolls that they had obtained and asked Zhao Tianyu to arrange the auction. It was fine even if he made a loss. What he wanted was a return-profit treasure anyway. It would be better if he lost. This way, he would be able to obtain quasi-immortal level martial arts and cultivation methods with a 100% chance. Although he could not use it, there were so many people in Molin Chamber of Commerce. He was no longer alone. As long as he resolved the crisis of leaving, he could make a call and the hundreds of geniuses would respond to him. By then, it would take a lot of money to raise these people, and it would be impossible to afford it without some savings¡­ After obtaining the Quasi-Immortal Martial Arts Techniques and cultivation methods, Lin Mo and Qilin set off on their journey again and left Lin City. The Scarlet Plain was a special scene in the ancient battlefield. It was an extremely terrifying place. As soon as they stepped into it, the Qilin frowned and felt repulsed by this place. The smell of blood was so strong that it covered the sky and the earth. Taking a deep breath, it even felt like breathing in a bloody mist¡­ The earth was dry and cracked, but some weeds could still be seen. This place was extremely desolate and not suitable for living creatures to live in. This place was also the path that the Qilin had walked on in the past. By burning her life force and using the Eye of Destiny to block her life providence, she avoided all danger and was able to escape the ancient battlefield and leave the Dragon State. ¡°The stench of blood makes me really want to fight with someone¡­¡± The Qilin pinched her nose, but she could not stop the invasion of the blood Qi¡­ ¡°Why did your mother choose this place as her training ground? It¡¯s a killing field, and it¡¯s harmful to auspicious beasts¡­¡± Lin Mo said. ¡°Because this place used to be a paradise, giving birth to countless living beings and monsters.¡± The Qilin shook her head. There was a memory in her mind that did not belong to her. It was an inheritance from her mother. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that such a paradise was destroyed. The enemy was too terrifying. They massacred everything and created the Scarlet Plain¡­¡± The Qilin mumbled to herself, and a trace of sadness appeared in her big eyes¡­ As an auspicious beast, she was blessed with good fortune. In that battle, the divine beast Qilin watched all the living beings cry. That sense of powerlessness, even after countless years, also affected the Qilin at this moment and actually made her cry¡­ ¡°The memory I saw is incomplete. What did my mother hide¡­¡± The Qilin said in a low voice. She could only see the miserable state of all living beings. The living beings under her mother¡¯s protection were slaughtered, and the immortal realm became a sea of blood and a killing field. However, she did not see what kind of enemy it was. This memory was covered up. This was the means of the Great Emperor. It could not be touched or cracked unless they were in the same realm¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s be careful. In this place, I can see that the ability of good and bad luck is severely limited¡­¡± Qilin said after adjusting her mood. In front of them, the smell of blood was getting thicker and thicker. A blood mist filled the air, and a looming killing intent spread, making the two of them shudder. As they got closer, the killing intent became more and more intense, and it could affect their minds and make them lose their rationality. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± A touch of holy light emerged. The Qilin exerted its innate divine power and summoned auspicious Qi to resist the killing intent. ¡°The blood mist here can affect saints and even great saints¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless and could only let the Qilin open the barrier. They had only just gotten close, but the effects were already so severe. This was enough to show that this place was not something one in the Ruler realm could explore. Although this wisp of auspicious Qi was like a bright lamp in the blood mist, he had no choice but to do this¡­ If they did not do this, they would not be able to enter at all. They would be devoured by the killing intent and become wild beasts that only knew how to kill. They continued forward. After walking on the Scarlet Plain for a day, they saw a strange phenomenon. In the thick blood mist, there seemed to be countless figures. They maintained their forward posture, moving forward slowly like Lin mo and the others ¡­ ¡°No, those aren¡¯t living people ¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. With a wave of his hand, he blew away the blood mist in front of him, revealing the corpses of countless creatures. It was not right to call them corpses. They were more like walking corpses because they were moving. As they walked deeper into the blood mist, they saw creatures from all races. Some were from the ancient times, while others were from the recent times. However, all of these undeads were emitting a terrifying aura. Even the weakest of them was a quasi-Saint, and they could tear a crack open with a light stroke and pull people out of the void by force¡­ ¡°I¡¯m a little scared¡­¡± The Qilin moved closer to Lin Mo and hugged him even more tightly, unwilling to let go. ¡°You were actually able to walk out of it back then¡­¡± Lin Mo said with difficulty. The Eye of Destiny was truly powerful. Its ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster was too powerful, but the price to use it was also great. If she used it too many times, it would cause irreversible damage to Qilin. He would not let Qilin use it unless it was absolutely necessary. However, without such a method, it would be a fool¡¯s dream to cross the sea of corpses. ¡°Let¡¯s take a detour ¡­¡± In the end, Lin Mo turned around with the Qilin and went around the extremely thick blood mist. ¡°This place is suitable for some assassins to come here. They might be able to comprehend the Great Dao of Slaughter¡­¡± Lin Mo teased. After bypassing one dangerous area after another, they were delayed for a long time. Chapter 759 - 759 Qilin Dojo 759 Qilin Dojo Back then, the Qilin had been protected by the Eye of Destiny, so it had used the Realm-Breaking Talisman at all costs to escape from a group of Great Saints and even Supreme Saints. Now that he had returned, he realized how vast the Scarlet Plain was. After all, it was the place where the divine beast Qilin had protected all the creatures in the past. It was easier said than done to reach the Qilin Dojo by walking¡­ ¡°It¡¯s so uncomfortable, the auspicious Qi can¡¯t block it anymore¡­¡± The Qilin shook her head, and her pupils had already turned red. She felt agitated and could not focus at all. She even thought of attacking Lin Mo. This thought gave her a shock. At the same time, it also meant that as they went deeper, they could no longer resist the killing intent¡­ ¡°Point me in the right direction. Let¡¯s go back to the small world.¡± Lin Mo advised the Qilin not to force herself. He had the God Devouring body, so even if he did not have the auspicious Qi to protect his body, he could still last for a while. At most, he would use the Realm-Breaking Talisman. That way, he might have a chance¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t Senior Rainbow-Winged Bird say that he was going to look for my mother? Can you ask him to come and pick us up¡­¡± The Qilin complained. It took them ten days to get to the Scarlet Plain from Lin City. After walking on the plain for a full twenty days, they were still in the periphery according to the distance. In the past few days, the Qilin had wanted to use the Eye of Destiny to speed up. However, Lin Mo rejected it. If one had to use all means to even break through the outer perimeter, how would one be able to break through the deeper parts? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll soon pass through the blood mist.¡± Lin Mo consoled. This was indeed the case. According to the Qilin¡¯s memory, the blood mist at the outermost layer was only one of the dangers. It was condensed from the blood of ten thousand spirits and would affect one¡¯s mind, but it would only appear on the periphery. It was because it was even more terrifying inside. The blood mist was absorbed and some special creatures were born. They could not even be called living beings, but evil spirits, formed from the unwillingness of ten thousand spirits as they absorbed the blood mist. That was the real danger. It was said that after the people from the Dragon Pavillion entered, they encountered the evil and were almost exterminated. In the end, they escaped with the help of a jade talisman passed down by a quasi-Emperor. After appeasing the Qilin, the two of them continued to move forward. After another three days, they finally walked out of the blood mist. ¡°Be careful¡­¡± As soon as they walked out the blood mist, a blood-red light shot toward them. Lin Mo pulled the Qilin into his arms and gave it a thought. ¡°BOOM!¡± The terrifying explosion spread and the place they were at was covered in blood mist. They saw a walking corpse slowly walking over. Its eyes were listless as it roared in madness ¡­ At that moment, Lin Mo, who was hiding in the system space with Qilin, heaved a long sigh of relief. The creature just now was at least a saint. He did not even have time to use the Realm-Breaking Talisman. Fortunately, he had the system space to escape this disaster¡­ It was the fortune within the misfortune¡­ The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and temporarily hid in the system space. They meditated and cultivated to recover. Lin Mo had used the technique that the Rainbow-Winged Bird had taught him to leave the system space 100 miles away from the original coordinates. This also allowed him and Qilin to successfully avoid danger and continue moving forward. ¡°According to our speed, we will need to walk for at least three months¡­¡± Qilin made a rough estimation and sighed. ¡°The ending time of the ancient battlefield is uncertain. To be safe, we¡¯ll talk about other things after meeting your mother¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed as well. If he could, he wanted to cultivate to the quasi-Saint realm or even the Saint realm before coming. However, there was not much time. Once they entered the final stage, everything would be too late. The only thing that could save them after they left was the two Realm-Breaking Talismans¡­ It was still unknown if he could escape from at least one quasi-Emperor. ¡°Huh? What a huge skeleton! This is a unicorn¡­¡± Lin Mo exclaimed. As they advanced, they came across a canyon on the way. There was a huge skeleton of a unicorn lying in it. This was also an auspicious beast. With the Qilin as the leader, it led the entire race to follow the divine beast Qilin. After exploring the canyon for a while, they discovered the cause of the unicorn¡¯s death. There was a one-meter-wide hole in the middle of the skull¡¯s eyebrows, as if it had been pierced by some terrifying force. This attack had most likely shattered its soul and ended its life. ¡°Senior, please rest in peace ¡­¡± The two of them bowed and continued to move forward. All they saw along the way were tragic scenes. Countless living beings were exterminated in unimaginable ways. However, what surprised Lin Mo was that the so-called enemies did not leave behind any corpses. ¡°How strange, could it be my mother¡¯s doing?¡± The Qilin also noticed it and was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Could it be a civil war?¡± Lin Mo said. For the sake of the heaven and earth¡¯s fortune, the living beings in this plan had started a war. ¡°Impossible. If that¡¯s the case, there should be a winner. The entire ancient era wouldn¡¯t have been buried¡­¡± The Qilin shook her head. There was a chasm in the history of the five continents, and there was a period of time that had been erased. It was difficult to find it in any ancient book. After countless generations of deduction and pursuit, they finally came to the conclusion that the destruction of the ancient era was related to this period of time that had been erased. ¡°So, from that time on, the quasi-Emperor became the top fighting force in the world¡­¡± Lin Mo was deep in thought. Ppeople knew that there was the Great Emperor realm above the quasi-Emperor realm, but no living creature had ever stepped into it¡­ In other words, the creatures that stepped into this world were from the previous era¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Countless heroes on the continent can¡¯t figure out the reason. Let¡¯s alone us¡­¡± The Qilin rubbed her head, but she did not have a clue. ¡°At least you have some self-awareness. If you can guess the reason, then it¡¯s really heaven-defying¡­¡± Suddenly, a burst of seven-colored radiance came from the distance. A palm-sized bird flew over. Wherever it passed, whether it was the blood mist or the blood corpses, they were completely annihilated and no longer existed. ¡°Senior Rainbow-Winged Bird¡­¡± The Qilin cheered. She could finally see her mother, even though she knew that her mother was already dead and that it had only seen her remnant soul. However, it could at least slow down some of her feelings of longing¡­ ¡°Let me do it. You guys are really bold to dare to barge in like this¡­¡± The colorful-winged bird flapped its wings. A seven-colored radiance appeared under Lin Mo and the Qilin¡¯s feet. In the next moment, they flew up with the rainbow-winged bird. The speed was extremely fast, and the surrounding scenery was constantly changing. In between, some bloody corpses could be seen eating each other ¡­ They even saw a terrifying existence that even the colorful-winged bird did not dare to be careless and carefully avoided. ¡°Are there any quasi-Emperor blood corpses here?¡± The Qilin asked curiously. ¡°No, the Supreme Saint realm is the limit of these special creatures. They don¡¯t have any intelligence and only know how to devour each other. Moreover, their lifespans are very short, only tens of thousands of years¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird replied. It was formed due to the Scarlet Plain¡¯s special environment, and could not even be considered a living creature. Under the guidance of the Rainbow-Winged Bird, they sped all the way and arrived at their destination in less than ten minutes. In front of him were broken walls and ruins. In the center of the ruins was a lifelike statue of a white Qilin. ¡°Mother ¡­¡± The Qilin¡¯s eyes were slightly red as she called out loudly. She had been nurtured under the statue for countless years, so she was very familiar with this place. There was a wisp of her mother¡¯s soul in the statue¡­ Chapter 760 - 760 Inheriting the Qilin Art 760 Inheriting the Qilin Art The heaven and earth trembled slightly, and the surrounding broken walls seemed to be nourished at this moment, full of vitality. Auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, expelling the blood mist in all directions. At this moment, this place really became a paradise, and the air was filled with immortal Qi. In the back, the Rainbow-Winged Bird was a little excited, and its body could not help but tremble. It had been here for some time, but it had only seen the statue of the Qilin, nothing else had changed. He had thought that the spiritual beast Qilin had completely disappeared, but he did not expect to see it this time. There was still a wisp of remnant soul hidden in the statue. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to see you on purpose. It¡¯s just that this remnant soul can only awaken a limited number of times, so I wanted to wait for you all to come together.¡± A soft halo came from the Qilin statue, and a voice came. ¡°Greetings, Lord Divine Beast.¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s voice was filled with excitement as it lowered its head toward the Qilin statue. Lin Mo found this scene rather comical¡­ This was the first time he had seen a bird kowtowing to a statue¡­ ¡°Young friend, thank you for taking in my child.¡± The statue expressed its gratitude to Lin Mo. ¡°Greetings, Senior¡­¡± Lin mo lowered his head and bowed. He had endless questions in his mind, but he did not know how to ask, such as what was the Spirit Devouring Bug race? There was also the blood mist and the corpses of the enemies. Other than that, he also wanted to know the truth behind the decline of the Eastern Continent and who had left behind the Dao Seeking Garden¡­ There were too many questions, and he was eager to know the answers. However, the Five Elements Mountain had refused to tell him about it. It had even said that it would use the Karmic Fire to wash away his karma. ¡°Has the Five Elements Mountain awakened? I¡¯m really envious. It¡¯s hard to kill a Primordial Supreme Treasure. Perhaps it will still be on the battlefield in the future¡­ ¡°A sigh came from the statue. It was a little lonely. ¡°Child, let go of your obsession. I¡¯m already dead.¡± The auspicious cloud fell, and a bloody mist gradually appeared. The last of the auspicious Qi wrapped around Lin Mo and the Qilin, forming a sealed space that could isolate everything. ¡°Mother, where are you?¡± Qilin said unwillingly. She could only sense her mother¡¯s aura from the Qilin egg, but she could not see her mother. At this moment, she really wanted to see what her mother looked like¡­ ¡°We will meet, but not now ¡­¡± The gentle voice echoed in the space. Lin Mo could hear a lot of reluctance in her voice, some for the Qilin, and some for this world¡­ ¡°Does Senior really not have any chance of being resurrected?¡± Lin Mo asked, similarly unwilling to give up. He remembered the request of the Demon Sealing Mirror when he received the inheritance of the Kun Peng ¡­ When one reached the great emperor realm, the Demon Sealing Mirror would be placed in the birthplace of the Kun Peng. Although he did not know the purpose of this, he had a feeling that he might see the divine beast Kun Peng again in the future¡­ ¡°Kun Peng¡¯s birthplace was the Chaotic Astral Ocean. It¡¯s said that the World Tree used to take root there.¡± The mother Qilin heard Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after you¡¯ve reached the Emperor Realm. I wonder if the current world can still break through that layer of shackles ¡­¡± She sighed. Even if the Demon Sealing Mirror went there, they might not be able to revive. Perhaps, it would only speed up the birth of the next divine beast, Kun Peng. Perhaps one day, a young Kun Peng would descend and sweep across the world with the Demon Sealing Mirror, becoming a Great Emperor again¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s talk about something else. Are you willing to take me as your master and obtain the Qilin inheritance?¡± A purple light appeared in the air, slowly forming the pattern of a Qilin. Lin Mo¡¯s heart was moved by these words. He knew how powerful the supreme inheritance of the Kun Peng was since he had the Kun Peng Art. It could allow one to comprehend a Dao law at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, it was a supreme Dao law like fate ¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve always been drooling over the Qilin Art. It¡¯s just that I did not dare to ask for it without your permission¡­¡± Lin Mo said respectfully. He wanted to obtain it long ago, and little Qilin had always listened to him. ¡°You didn¡¯t lie to my daughter and treated her sincerely. That¡¯s why I¡¯m willing to pass it to you.¡± Purple light bloomed in the space, and countless runes enveloped Lin Mo and the Qilin. ¡°I know what you¡¯re here for. By cultivating the Qilin Art, mastering the Dao Law of Fate, and having an auspicious beast, the White Qilin, by your side can help you get through this crisis. ¡°As for the matter of establishing a Chamber of Commerce, you can also do it freely. Although there are obstacles, I believe that you will be able to get through them¡­¡± When he was receiving the inheritance, a voice appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind again, guiding him to understand. The Yin Yang Dao Law in his body had originally filled his entire body, expelling all the insights he had gained previously. Now, the Dao Law of Fate was the same. It rushed into his body and wanted to occupy all his meridians. However, the Dao law in Lin Mo¡¯s body was not so simple this time. The Kun Peng and the Qilin were both divine beasts, and they were on par in terms of strength. The two Dao laws were also extremely powerful, regardless of their strength. After a series of disputes, the world was eventually divided into two parts, and both parts coexisted within Lin Mo¡¯s body. This process was extremely painful. His physical body had become a battlefield as the two Dao laws were fighting inside. He had the God Devouring Body, so he would be baptized every time he broke through. If it were anyone else, they would have exploded and died before they could completely memorize the Qilin Art. ¡°You¡¯re a pretty good seedling. Besides, I can only see a small part of your fate. Your future is all a blur¡­¡± A soft voice came from the space, and Lin Mo was shocked. She was calculating his fate. Was it a prophecy technique? The Qilin¡¯s sorcery was so terrifying that it could predict the past and the future¡­ ¡°Whether it is strong or not, you can only slowly comprehend it.¡± A gentle voice entered his ears, but soon, Lin Mo could no longer hear anything. Only the sound of chanting could be heard as he entered a deep state of enlightenment. He was comprehending the Qilin Art. In the outside world, where the Hidden Dragon List was¡­ This place was supposed to be a place for everyone to discuss Dao and discuss which family¡¯s disciples would stand out. After all, the opening of the ancient battlefield was the grandest event in the Northern Continent and almost all the top powers were present. However, a great battle had broken out here today. There were more than a dozen Supreme Saints fighting, and the formation of the Hidden Dragon Pavillion was almost destroyed. In the end, the master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion showed up and unleashed the power of a quasi-Emperor, but he was still blocked. This shocked the entire Northern Continent. ¡°Blood Axe Yang Song¡­ You¡¯re from the Southern Continent¡¯s Bai family¡­¡± As soon as he said that, the leaders of many forces were scared. One by one, the elders rushed over and stood in front of the Hidden Dragon List, waiting. There was no harmony between the continents, and wars would break out occasionally. However, the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent were not neighbors, so there was little friction between them. There were basically no signs of hostility. No one had expected that the Southern forces would come to the Northern Continent¡¯s grandest event. Without saying a word, he directly injured the people of the the Gongsun family and forced a quasi-Emperor to show up. Only then did the war subside. ¡°Why did the Southern forces come to the Northern Continent? ¡± The master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion came forward and tried to mediate. Only the head of the Gongsun family was angry. The Gongsun family had finally produced an outstanding descendant. He was killed just like that, and the Gongsun family¡¯s lineage was cut off for a generation. ¡°We have come for the God Devouring Body¡­¡± The man called Blood Axe Yang Song said. His cold killing intent reverberated in the air as he stared at the Gongsun family clan leader. Chapter 761 - 761 The Growing Molin Chamber of Commerce 761 The Growing Molin Chamber of Commerce In the center of the Scarlet Plain, the lifelike Qilin statue shattered and turned into fine powder. The Qilin face was filled with reluctance. There was one less thing that her mother had left in this world. Without the suppression of the Qilin statue, the dojo would soon be swallowed by the Scarlet Plain. In the end, this place would become a dangerous place, eroded by blood and killing intent. ¡°Senior, what do you plan to do in the future?¡± Lin Mo asked the Rainbow-Winged Bird. He had to rope in such an expert at the peak of the Supreme Saint realm no matter what. His Chamber of Commerce needed such an expert to hold the fort. ¡°Brat, do you know the price of asking this Senior to go and hold the fort?¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird looked at Lin Mo. It did not think that a junior like Lin Mo would pay such a heavy price. ¡°Senior, you can just say it. Brother Lin Mo has a lot of good things on him.¡± The little Qilin had cleaned up her mother¡¯s dojo inside and out. When it heard these words, she hurriedly spoke up for Lin Mo. ¡°I need at least 100 quasi-immortal grade treasures. Little Qilin, I¡¯ve just received guidance from your mother. It won¡¯t be long before I break through the barrier of the quasi-Emperor. A Supreme Saint who was about to break through to the quasi-Emperor realm was indeed worth 100 quasi-immortal grade treasures. From the looks of it, Lin Mo really could not afford it. The Immortal Grade Scriptures of Enlightenment was fine, but he planned to keep it for his own use in the future. He did not want to use it so soon¡­ ¡°Tsk, you still haven¡¯t broken through. Besides, you were taught by my mother.¡± The Qilin was not polite at all. She wanted the Rainbow-Winged Bird to return the favor on the spot¡­ ¡°Little girl, don¡¯t say that. Senior naturally wouldn¡¯t be ungrateful, but we can¡¯t let Senior work for free.¡± ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll hand over the five quasi-immortal grade treasures after we leave the ancient battlefield. Senior, you¡¯ll be in charge of the Molin Chamber of Commerce after that. I guarantee that I¡¯ll deliver 20 more quasi-immortal grade treasures within five years. How about it? ¡± Lin Mo smiled. Such a high price would even make some of the top sects feel the pinch. With the system, it was npt impossible for him to collect all of them. Right now, what the Molin Chamber of Commerce lacked the most was a strong expert, so the Rainbow-Winged Bird had to be roped in. ¡°So it¡¯s like this¡­¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird was a little hesitant, but it looked at Lin Mo suspiciously. Even now, it might not be able to get so many treasures in such a short time. ¡®If he can find 40 pieces in five years, how is he going to run his own forces¡­¡¯ ¡°How many ruins are you going to explore next? What if the battlefield ends early?¡± The Qilin said worriedly. Quasi-immortal gradetreasures were not common. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine,¡± Lin Mo replied with a smile. On the other side, the Rainbow-Winged Bird was also hesitating. It looked at the Qilin and seemed to have made up its mind. It said, ¡°Alright, I agree.¡± ¡°But ¡­¡± Before Lin Mo and the Qilin could reply, the Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s voice was heard again. ¡°Senior, what other conditions do you have?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Unless you encounter something that you can¡¯t handle, I won¡¯t take action. I won¡¯t even let anyone know of my existence.¡± Lin Mo immediately agreed to such a simple condition. Both he and Qilin needed to gain experience and go through battle after battle. Only then could they become stronger. If he let the Rainbow-Winged Bird help him with everything, he would be a little ashamed of his own talent. ¡°Thank you for your help, Senior. Let¡¯s go. We still need your help with the Scarlet plain.¡± Lin Mo smiled. The Chamber of Commerce finally had an expert in charge. Moreover, it was a powerful existence who was about to break through to the quasi-Emperor realm.. With that, the Molin Chamber of Commerce could even be considered a top force and could occupy a state. Of course, it was in a remote and small place where cultivators were not very powerful¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go. I still need to go back to the Five Elements Mountain. I will show up when you leave the battlefield,¡± the Rainbow-Winged Bird said while laughing. It flapped its wings and grew in size in an instant. Carrying Lin Mo and the Qilin, it soared above the Scarlet Plain. The two of them were left speechless by his speed. He even gave Lin Mo and Qilin some pointers on how to break through the barrier of their cultivation. ¡°Let¡¯s part ways here. If you encounter any trouble you can¡¯t solve, use this wing to contact me.¡± After sending the two of them to Lin City, the Rainbow-Winged Bird left behind a crimson feather and flapped its wings to leave. On that day, the Mo Lin Chamber of Commerce cheered the entire time. They took out some precious medicinal herbs, matched them with demonic beast meat, and raised their cups to drink to their hearts ¡®content. The news of him setting up the Molin Chamber of Commerce in the outside world spread, and the entire Lin City was in an uproar. The experts who had been saved by Lin Mo and had been staying in Lin City immediately expressed their willingness to join. Some of the geniuses had families and forces behind them, and they had expressed that they would take the initiative to contact them and introduce big business to the Chamber of Commerce. ¡°Leader, there¡¯s something I must remind you of.¡± While he was drinking, Mao Zhu¡¯s expression was solemn. He was not optimistic about the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Although she chose to join and even took up the position of an elder¡­ However, she knew that in order to successfully establish the Chamber of Commerce, they had to pass through the barrier of leaving the ancient battlefield. Moreover, they could not just escape. We had to fight their way through. Only then can we establish their own power in the Northern Continent¡­ Otherwise, when faced with the pursuit of experts from all sides, establishing a Chamber of Commerce was equivalent to giving those people a chance to kill. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will settle it ¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled confidently. There was no other reason. When the Qilin¡¯s mother gave him the inheritance, she told him that he could handle it.. Although he did not know who helped him in the end, he believed that the divine beast Qilin¡¯s prediction of the future ¡­ Moreover, he had already prepared for the worst, so he did not have to worry about his safety ¡­ The news of the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡¯s establishment was suppressed by Lin Mo, and only a few core figures knew about it. These people were trustworthy, so Lin Mo was not afraid of being exposed. After another round of expansion, Lin City was even bigger and could be compared to big cities like Sky Dragon City. Moreover, because he often auctioned precious treasures here, the flow of people here had always been at the peak. ¡°There are so many divine herbs. The auction this time is much bigger than the previous one¡­¡± In the Chamber of Commerce¡¯s main hall, Qilin looked at the mountain-like pile of medicinal herbs and was amazed. If she did not know that these treasures were going to be auctioned, she would have already started eating them¡­ ¡°The leader is still in seclusion. I can feel that his aura is getting more and more terrifying¡± A young girl looked at a passage in the hall. At the end of the passage was a secret chamber, where Lin Mo was in seclusion. On the day the Rainbow-Winged Bird sent him back, the celebration ended, and he began to cultivate in seclusion to comprehend the Qilin Art. At the same time, he was also balancing the two fighting Dao laws in his body. In theory, there could only be one such supreme Dao law. Unless one¡¯s comprehension of the laws had reached an extreme and one could control them perfectly, it was extremely easy to cause the two abnormal energies to go berserk. The two Dao laws would fight was within the body, and in the limbs and bones. once the law went berserk, the lightest consequence would be serious injuries and dying, and the heaviest would be sudden death on the spot¡­ Fortunately, Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring body had an extraordinary constitution, allowing him to survive the repeated clashes. After spending half a year, his combat strength had soared. Chapter 762 - 762 Cloud Top Arena 762 Cloud Top Arena Although the two energies could not be used perfectly, they were no longer repulsed. When the two combined, they could erupt with incredible combat power. ¡°I can exit my seclusion now. I wonder how much time has passed in the outside world¡­¡± In the secret room, Lin Mo, who had two Dao laws appearing outside his body, nodded in satisfaction. He was already very familiar with the Yin Yang Dao Law. As long as the amount was not too large and the law he triggered did not exceed his own realm, he would be able to control it perfectly. As for the power of fate, he was very unfamiliar with this power, and even felt a sense of rejection. It might be because he had not refined the Fruit of Fate. This was also the reason why it took him half a year to master it despite his talent. However, when he used the Dao Law of Fate, he felt like he had everything under control. It was very strange, and he could subconsciously imagine that in the future, Molin Chamber of Commerce would be preparing to hold an even bigger auction¡­ ¡°I can¡¯t explain it clearly. I don¡¯t know what it feels like when a Qilin comprehends it¡­¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Since they were going to hold an auction, he had to be there. It just so happened that they were still worried about what kind of treasure to auction off as the finale. ¡°Don¡¯t argue. Let¡¯s auction this as the finale.¡± He walked out of the secret room and went through the narrow passage to the hall, giving everyone a surprise. ¡°Brother Lin Mo!¡± The Qilin was overjoyed. She went over and hugged Lin Mo¡¯s arm, cheering. She snatched the scroll from Lin Mo and unfurled it. Dazzling runes filled the air. A wave of immortal Dao aura spread out, causing people¡¯s hearts to skip a beat. They found it unbelievable. ¡°This is¡­ A quasi-immortal grade cultivation technique?¡± After sensing the abnormality, people cried out in alarm and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. This treasure was rare even in the ancient battlefield. The last time Lin Mo was able to auction it off, it was because he had participated in the Wind Spirit Sect ruins. There had been countless deaths and injuries in that battle, and they had all been saved by Lin Mo. ¡°Why are you auctioning this? Keep it and hire¡­ it. ¡± The Qilin hurriedly said. Realizing that there were other people around, she quickly changed her words. It was obvious that she wanted Lin Mo to keep it for the Rainbow-Winged Bird. After all, quasi-immortal cultivation techniques were extremely rare. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± Lin Mo took the scroll and introduced it to the Qilin while rubbing her head. ¡°The Ice God Technique is a quasi-immortal level cultivation technique, and it also has a set of martial arts, Ice God Palm. I¡¯ll use this as the finale.¡± As for the origin of this item, it was naturally from the last time Lin Mo returned to Lin city. He had obtained many martial arts and cultivation methods from the Blood Wings Clan. Before he left, he had handed them all over to Zhao Tianyu to auction off, and he had returned the interest to seven quasi-immortal grade cultivation techniques or martial arts. The Ice God Technique and Ice God Palm were one of them. As a set of cultivation methods and martial arts, it would surely be welcomed by many people. ¡°This Qi method gives me the feeling that it is almost on par with the Great Frost Sealing Scripture of the Snow Valley¡­¡± Song Lianxue was pleasantly surprised. If she be the winning bid, the Snowy Valley would be rewarded greatly. In addition, she had a good relationship with Mao Zhu, Lin Mo, and the others. If Lin Mo really had the means to deal with the dangers outside the ancient battlefield and successfully established the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡­ At that time, the valley master of the snow Valley would probably put the position of Holy Daughter into her hands¡­ However, it was a pity that Lin Mo had given her a lot of precious resources, including divine medicines and pills. However, it was still much weaker than the quasi-immortal grade martial arts¡­ It was basically impossible for her to win the bid. She probably could not get the credit¡­ ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t let your own fertile water flow into others¡¯ fields. You can contact the Holy Daughter of your Snow Valley and ask her to participate in the auction.¡± Lin Mo said with a smile after seeing through Song Lianxue¡¯s thoughts. He did not want to auction the quasi-immortal grade cultivation methods and martial arts techniques to the enemy, and they were given by the system after its return. There would not be a second rebate, and if he made a loss, he would really be helping the enemy¡­ ¡°Hey, you¡¯re still thinking about the snow Valley. You¡¯re just an ordinary disciple. If it were up to me, I would say that you should also become an elder of the Chamber of Commerce¡­¡± Song Lianxue had not received any special treatment from the Snow Valley, yet she was always thinking of the Snow Valley after entering the battlefield. ¡°After all, my family has been disciples of the Snow Valley for generations. The sect has done nothing wrong. How can I betray them?¡± Song Lianxue shook her head. If she wanted to repay Lin Mo¡¯s kindness, she had to find a way to get the snow Valley and Molin Chamber of Commerce to cooperate¡­ ¡°Oh right, Brother Lin Mo, Sister Xia You came here three months ago.¡± Suddenly, the Qilin spoke and told Lin Mo what had happened during this period of time. Lin Mo was a little surprised when he found out that Xia you had come. He quickly asked why she had come to see him. ¡°Sister Xia You said that in three years, the Hidden Dragon List will once again open the ancient battlefield.¡± ¡°The final location of the competition is here, the Cloud Top Arena.¡± The Qilin took out a scroll of parchment. It was a detailed map that recorded more than half of the ancient battlefield. There were records of many unknown areas, and this made Lin mo pleasantly surprised. ¡°How did she know about this?¡± Lin Mo asked. Unfortunately, the Qilin shook her head. ¡°Xia You came once and left after giving out the scroll.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Big Sister Xia you said that she has obtained enough fortune and is leaving.¡± Qilin added. This had happened three months ago. Perhaps Xia You had already committed suicide and left. Speaking of this, the Qilin sighed. She really liked this Sister Xia You. If she wanted to see her again, she could only go to the Central Continent to look for her¡­ ¡°I might know where this information about the Heaven¡¯s Will Body came from¡­¡± Suddenly, Zhao Tianyu, who was recording the auction items and making a list, spoke. He moved closer, and everyone¡¯s eyes immediately focused on him. ¡°Cough, cough ¡­¡± Being stared at like this by everyone, Zhao Tianyu felt a little uncomfortable. He coughed dryly and said. ¡°Miss Xia you has the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. I¡¯m sure all of you are aware of this, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t keep me in suspense, get to the point.¡± Mao Zhu rolled his eyes. ¡®There are so many people waiting for an answer, yet this guy is still keeping them in suspense¡­¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Looking at everyone¡¯s unfriendly gazes, Zhao Tianyu shrunk his neck and quickly said. ¡°The Heaven¡¯s Will Body is one of the strongest physiques of the human race. It is born from the will of heaven and earth and can know the will of the heavens.¡± ¡°As we all know, this is a battlefield in ancient times. It was once destroyed and order collapsed. The World Tree of that era also collapsed in this world and was uprooted.¡± ¡°Later, this world was used as a gift to be left for the future generations.¡± ¡°You can understand it as a treasure bestowed by the heavens. It¡¯s an opportunity the World Tree has left for us.¡± With that said, everyone gradually understood. In their eyes, the World Tree was the sky and the source of everything in the world. The Heavenly Destiny Body knew the destiny. This place was left behind by the previous generation of the World Tree, which made sense. At the same time, they finally understood why even a powerful quasi-Emperor could not break the Hidden Dragon List¡¯s rules. Even if he went all out, only one or two people would be sent in every time it opened¡­ Only those with the same origin as the World Tree could understand the World Tree¡¯s methods and the rules here¡­ ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. This explanation was very reasonable, and everyone agreed with it. Chapter 763 - 763 The Inner World 763 The Inner World The auction soon began, and that night, Lin City was in a riot, with all kinds of news flying around. What was even more unexpected was that Lin Mo had announced that the final item of the auction could be bought on credit. All they would need to do was pay and the goods would be delivered. As soon as the news came out, it attracted countless people. Some people who cultivated ice, water, and the yin attribute cultivation techniques rushed over. The Ice God technique and the accompanying martial arts technique, Ice God Palm, were relatively precious among the Quasi-Immortal level. ¡°Welcome, fellow Daoists, to this auction. The finale of tonight¡¯s auction is a Quasi-Immortal level cultivation technique and a set of martial arts techniques.¡± Lin Mo stood on the stage and nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the crowded hall. After this seclusion, he had cultivated the Law of Fate and had a slight understanding of what would happen in the future. For example, he could sense that there were some people with Quasi-Immortal treasures who would be participating in the auction¡­ ¡°They should be here for cultivation methods and martial arts. I¡¯m really looking forward to it¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and nodded. After the sound of the auction hammer rang out, a maidservant walked up with a silver plate. Under the expectant gazes of many living beings, the red cloth was slowly lifted. ¡°The first item, a Level 5 Heaven-class demonic beast¡¯s Inner Core, a Water and Wind Dual Attributed demonic beast¡¯s inner core.¡± On the silver plate, there was a blue bead that contained pure spiritual qi. The inner core of a demonic beast was an essential ingredient in cultivating divine pills, unless there was a special medicinal formula, such as a fire Dao divine pill. This divine pill had a special effect, so the prescription was different. If one were to use normal alchemy methods, they would use the inner core of a demonic beast as the main ingredient, supplemented by divine medicine. The cultivated divine pill could be used like a spirit stone and could be directly absorbed for cultivation. ¡°President Lin, do you accept the best quality spiritual stones?¡± As soon as the auction started, someone had stood up and asked if Lin Mo was willing to accept the Supreme-grade spiritual stones. In fact, the price of Heaven-grade Level 3 and 4 and above divine items had to be set with Supreme-grade spiritual stones. This was because there were no Quasi-Saints on the ancient battlefield. Therefore, no one dared to go to the mines that contained Supreme-grade spiritual stones for fear of being damaged. This was also the reason why Lin Mo had chosen to barter in the past few auctions. ¡°Sure, the inner core of a Level 5 Heaven-class demonic beast. The starting price is about 35000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones. You may start bidding.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Only Quasi-Sages and above could absorb Supreme-grade spiritual stones. However, as a God Devouring Body, it was not a big problem for him to absorb Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°I bid 40000 high-quality spiritual stones. If you are interested, you may also bid.¡± The other party opened his mouth and gave a price. Hearing this, Lin Mo was slightly surprised. He had thought that the other party would use some low-grade divine pills and divine medicine in addition to Supreme-grade spiritual stones. He had not expected that so many Supreme-grade spiritual stones would be taken out at once. It was rare. ¡°I¡¯ll offer a Level 5 Heaven-class divine pill. The price should be more than 40000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones. On the other side, a creature with the head of a tiger and the body of a human stepped forward to participate in the bidding. ¡°41000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°A divine pill plus¡­¡± The two of them began to compete. However, this was only an ordinary inner core, so the final price was fixed at 45000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, sir.¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and looked at the person with interest. He had quite decent strength, and his cultivation level was also quite high. He was a Level 8 King. Generally speaking, Supreme-grade spiritual stones were essential for one to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Considering the uniqueness of the ancient battlefield, the power behind every genius would prepare a sum of Supreme-grade spiritual stones for them. For example, when Gongsun Wenhao had been killed by Lin Mo, he had 100000 high-quality spiritual stones on him. Although it wasn¡¯t much, it was enough for a normal person to break through to the Quasi-Saint stage. ¡°It seems that a Supreme-grade spiritual stone mine has appeared on this battlefield while I was in seclusion¡­¡± he muttered. This was the only explanation that could make sense. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I missed out on a good fortune because of my closed-door cultivation¡­¡± [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 5 Heaven-class demonic beast¡¯s inner core. ] [ Successfully triggered 8000-fold auction rebate] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the inner core of a Level 8 Heaven-class demonic beast. ] The system¡¯s notification rang out. Just as Lin Mo was about to continue with the auction, the system¡¯s voice rang out again. [ The host has obtained a Supreme-grade spiritual stone from the auction. You can place the spiritual stone into the system space and form your inner world. You will be rewarded. ] He had thought that there would be another system mission, but it turned out to be this. There was no clear description of the rewards, but when he heard about the inner world, he was shocked. ¡°What is the inner world?¡± He thought that he had a good understanding of the cultivation system of this world, comprehended the laws, and became a monarch. But now, he had found out about the inner world. What realm could one reach to come into contact with the inner world? ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just put it in first,¡± said Lin Mo without hesitating. It was only 45000 Supreme-quality spiritual stones. He was not that reluctant to part with it. [ Injection is successful. The spiritual qi in the inner world has increased. You have received the reward, the Supreme-grade spiritual stone embryo. ] The Supreme-grade spiritual stone that he had just obtained had disappeared. It was absorbed by a special force in the system space and immediately cultivated. But at the same time, he had also received a reward, a rough embryo of a Supreme-grade spiritual stone. If one could find a high-grade spirit mine and place the rough embryo in its core, it would be able to grow into a Supreme-grade spirit stone mine after a few hundred years. This was a priceless treasure, which was even more precious than 45000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°That¡¯s great¡­¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed and immediately beckoned for the next maidservant. The red cloth was lifted, and the next auction item was presented. ¡°By the way, everyone, allow me to add on another rule. Unless it¡¯s a Level 9 Heaven-class divine pill or divine medicine, Supreme spiritual stones will be considered better than other treasures of the same value. This rule that had just been added made everyone freeze as they looked at Lin Mo. What kind of stupid rule was this? Could it be that Supreme-grade spiritual stones had some special meaning to Lin Mo? However, didn¡¯t he already have the God Devouring Body? As long as he had enough heaven and earth qi, he could absorb any natural treasure perfectly, even if it was poisonous. Why was he being so picky now and asking for Supreme-grade spiritual stones? ¡°Alright, let¡¯s continue the auction. The second item is a Level 5 Heaven-grade magic weapon, the Meteor Hammer. The starting price is 40000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones. He had even set the starting price of the treasure with Supreme-grade spiritual stones. He made up his mind that even if someone offered a higher price, he would still be biased towards the Supreme-grade spiritual stones. Unless the other party put it up for auction and clearly stated that they wanted the treasure, he would only ask for the Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Brother Lin Mo, what are you doing?¡± In the dark, the Qilin transmitted a message to Lin Mo. She did not understand why Lin Mo would do such a losing business¡­ In the Chamber of Commerce, both she and Lin Mo were the only two people who had the highest chance of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint stage within three years. She needed to absorb the fragments of the Dao Law of Fate from the world to break through. Supreme-grade spiritual stones were only supplementary, and she didn¡¯t need much of it. Lin Mo, on the other hand, needed a massive amount of heaven and earth qi. Therefore, they didn¡¯t need so many Supreme-quality spiritual stones in such a short time¡­ Chapter 764 - 764 100,000 Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones 764 100,000 Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have my own plans.¡± He sent a voice transmission to tell the Qilin not to worry. Then, he continued to host the auction. After tapping the auction hammer, the auction frenzy continued again. No one understood why Lin Mo would do this. However, they did have a lot of supreme-grade spiritual stones in stock, just as Lin Mo had guessed. Two months ago, three supreme-grade spiritual stone mines had appeared on the battlefield, and they covered a vast area. In the past, all parties had paid a huge price for these supreme-grade spiritual stones and excavated a large number of high-grade and supreme-grade spiritual stones. Because of this opportunity, all the cultivators slowed down their pace of exploration and went into seclusion to cultivate. ¡°42000 high-quality spiritual stones.¡± ¡°43000 high-quality spiritual stones.¡± Some people started to bid. People were very fond of magic weapons. Who wouldn¡¯t want to have an additional means of attack? In the end, the Meteor Hammer was successfully won by some people at a price of 52000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a Level 5 heaven-grade magic weapon, the Meteor Hammer. ] [ Successfully triggered 4000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 heaven-grade magic weapon, Sun Hammer. ] Just like before, Lin Mo chose to inject these supreme-grade spiritual stones into the system space to build an inner world. [ Injection successful. You¡¯ve received a reward: a Level 4 heaven-grade divine medicine. ] Lin Mo was stunned when he saw the reward. He then shook his head helplessly. He had thought that he would earn a lot every time, but now it seemed that the rewards were all given randomly. However, it was better than nothing. Lin Mo was still very satisfied with obtaining a divine medicine. ¡°The next item to be auctioned is a Heaven-class Level 6 divine pill, the Reversal Sun Pill. ¡°This elixir is extremely effective. It fortifies the foundation and refines the essence. Marrow and bone cleansing are only the foundation. After taking it, one¡¯s cultivation can be greatly improved. ¡°Rumor has it that someone once used the Reversal Sun Pill to advance three levels in the King¡¯s realm at one go, which shocked everyone.¡± As soon as he said that, the crowd went into an uproar. The value of the Reversal Sun Pill was considered high among the Level 6 Heaven-grade. Furthermore, this pill was extremely difficult to cultivate. Even if several alchemy grandmasters came, their success rate would not exceed 50%. Many people were surprised that such a divine pill would appear in the auction house. ¡°It seems that everyone is very interested. The starting price of this pill is 70000 high-quality spiritual stones. The highest bidder will get it. You may start bidding now.¡± The high starting price made some people come back to their senses and shake their heads. At such an expensive price, ordinary people would need to spend more than half of their savings to buy it. ¡°71000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Seventy-three thousand¡­¡± ¡°Seventy-five thousand¡­¡± Many people were hesitating, wondering if they should make a bid, but some people had already started to raise the price. There were about a dozen people who were interested in the Reversal Sun Pill, and they all made their bids one after another. In less than three minutes, the price of the Reversal Sun Pill had reached 90000 high-quality spiritual stones. Even so, there were still four people who were still bidding and were not willing to give up. Furthermore, Lin Mo could sense that the four of them were at the same cultivation Level 8 King tier. After consuming the Reversal Sun Pill, one would be able to reach the peak of the King tier. At that time, he could start to cultivate supreme-grade spiritual stones and try to touch the barrier of the Quasi-Saint stage. If they were lucky enough to cross it, they would soar into the sky, and their battle strength would experience a huge increase. At that time, even Lin Mo and any others would not be their match¡­ After all, there was a huge gap between a Quasi-Saint and a King tier. Even the weakest Quasi-Saint was capable of suppressing a King. ¡°95000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± Just then, a young man made a bid. After hesitating for a long time, he had still chosen to bid. This Reversal Sun Pill was too valuable. ¡°I bid 97000 high-quality spiritual stones.¡± On the other side, a centaur raised the bid by another 2000 upper spiritual stones. It seemed like he was just a step away from the 100000 mark¡­ ¡°This Centaur race fellow Daoist has bid 97000. Is there anyone else willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo looked at the four bidders with great interest. He was only short of 3000. He wanted to see if he could exceed 100000¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll pay¡­ Ninety-eight thousand!¡± Another creature had stood up. It had a pair of bone wings on its back, which was very strange. Although he had only increased the price by 1000 pills, he had still gone through a huge mental struggle. After all, the price was extremely high¡­ ¡°Is there any other fellow Daoist who wants to bid?¡± Lin Mo spoke at the right time. At this moment, everyone was looking at the last person who was still bidding. It was a middle-aged man with an uncertain expression on his face. He was still hesitating. Without rushing him, Lin Mo merely waited. The others also looked at him. Everyone was looking forward to seeing if this Reversal Sun Pill could be sold for 100000¡­ ¡°Alright, this old man will offer a hundred thousand¡­¡± After a mental struggle, he suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and shouted out the price that everyone was looking forward to. ¡°A hundred thousand high quality spiritual stones. The highest price of a Reversal Sun Pill in the outside world is around eighty-five thousand.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. However, in the ancient battlefield, the Reversal Sun Pill is very crucial. It¡¯s very tempting to some old fellows¡­¡± Some people were talking about how this divine pill had no benefits for some geniuses. Taking it to break through would instead damage one¡¯s foundation. However, to someone who had already severed his own cultivation and started cultivating from the beginning, this flaw was nothing. After all, they had reached this level before. Cultivating again would only mean accumulating energy again¡­ ¡°Deal. Congratulations to this fellow Daoist.¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and completed the transaction with the person, successfully obtaining 100000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Channel all of them into the inner world.¡± With a command in his heart, the 100000 supreme-grade spiritual stones that he had just put into the system space immediately turned into powder. A huge amount of pure spiritual qi was swallowed by the system space, but there were no strange changes in the system space. [ Injection is successful. You¡¯ve received the Level 7 Heaven-class Soundwave Martial Arts Technique, Golden Lion Tiger Roar. ] A scroll appeared out of thin air. Lin Mo glanced at it with his mind and tossed it aside, being too lazy to read it. This sound wave martial arts had a strange attack method that could directly attack the soul. However, it didn¡¯t match his usual fighting style, so it was useless to learn it. He could either sell it or give it away in the future¡­ Moreover, there would be no rebate for auctioning off such a system-rewarded treasure. Even the supreme-grade spiritual stones that could be inserted into the system space had to be obtained through an auction. Although ordinary supreme-grade spiritual stones could also be inserted and could also produce a nourishing effect, there was no reward for it. At the same time, the rebate treasure of this auction also appeared. [ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Level 6 Heaven-class Reversal Sun Pill. ] [ Successfully triggered 3000-fold auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-class Level 7 divine pill, Soul Refining Pill. ] As its name suggested, it was a divine pill that could refine the soul and greatly increase the strength of the soul. To those with weak soul power, this was a rare treasure. Since it was a Level 7 Heaven-class treasure, it could increase the power of the soul greatly. It was a rare treasure. ¡°The auction will continue. The next auction item¡­¡± Chapter 765 - 765 The Snow Valley and the Ice Imperial Sect 765 The Snow Valley and the Ice Imperial Sect It was a very grand auction. It lasted for six hours and over a hundred treasures were auctioned. Of course, half of that number included items that were auctioned off, but he also earned treasures through the rebate system which was very generous. As for what he had taken out, as long as the final deal was a supreme-grade spiritual stone, he immediately put it into his inner world. As a result, he received many generous rewards, and was even very lucky to obtain a Quasi-Immortal level treasure. In addition, there were many Level 9 heaven class divine pills and divine medicines that appeared during the auction, so he also obtained a quasi-immortal level divine medicine. It just so happened that, along with the recent stock, the promised reward for the Rainbow Winged Bird was ready. Lin Mo was overjoyed by this. There were simply too many treasures on the ancient battlefield. Countless living beings would auction off treasures that they had no use for in order to obtain cultivation resources. It could even be said that as long as Lin Mo held an auction, he would be able to receive a large number of treasures to be auctioned off. In addition to the reputation he had built up in the hearts of the people, his business would definitely be booming. ¡°Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s already close to the grand finale. Moreover, a few new fellow Daoists have just arrived.¡± Lin Mo smiled and gestured for the maidservant beside him to leave. He then handed the treasure over to the person who had won the bid. ¡°There are still three items left, and they are all one in ten thousand treasures.¡± The last three auction items could even cause great saints to fight for them in the outside world¡­ Other than the finale, the other two items weren¡¯t at the Quasi-Immortal level, but they weren¡¯t far off either. ¡°Buzzzzzz!¡± As Lin Mo took out a burning elixir from the system space, the temperature in the air suddenly rose. Some people¡¯s breathing instantly became heavy as they stared at Lin Mo in disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s a Fire Dao Divine Pill¡­¡± Some creatures recognized this item and were shocked. The rest of the people only realized it later and their eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°Oh my god! It turned out that it was this kind of divine pill! Judging by its aura, it¡¯s already very close to the Quasi-Immortal Level immortal pill¡­¡± ¡°If it was a normal Heaven-class Level 9 divine pill, it would only cost seventy thousand to eighty thousand supreme-grade spiritual stones at most.¡± ¡°However, this pill is about to advance to the Quasi-Immortal level, so it¡¯s extremely valuable. Therefore, I set the starting price at seventy thousand high-quality spiritual stones, and each bid should be no less than ten thousand high-quality spiritual stones.¡± As soon as this was said, some people who had been eager to make a move shook their heads and sighed. Although they had obtained a large number of supreme-grade spiritual stones, how many people could afford such a high price? ¡°Seven hundred and ten thousand high-quality spiritual stones.¡± ¡°Seven hundred and thirty thousand¡­¡± Some people were silent, but there were also others who were fighting to be the first to bid, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. This was a Fire Dao Divine Pill, which was extremely attractive to cultivators of the fire attribute. No matter who it was, the price to pay to defeat them was still a little high¡­ ¡°Eight hundred thousand¡­¡± Suddenly, a crisp female voice was heard. The door of the hall was pushed open, and a few people walked in. The aura on their bodies was very powerful. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that one of the managers of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, Miss Song Lianxue?¡± Some people were puzzled and recognized one of them because they were often seen in the Chamber of Commerce. It was no secret that Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu had cultivated the great Dao of Fire. There was nothing wrong with her participating in the auction, but they had not expected Song Lianxue to be with another person¡­ ¡°The Holy Maiden of the Snow Valley, Xue Qing¡­¡± ¡°This is strange. Miss Mao Zhu seems to be from Snow Valley. She is a rogue cultivator from Snow Valley. The Snow Valley is so well hidden. I¡¯m afraid that she and Song Lianxue are not just casual cultivators¡­ Some creatures were muttering, feeling sure that their guess was correct. This statement was also acknowledged by many people, but at the same time, they were still shocked. A gradually declining Snow Valley had actually given birth to three masters. They had not expected them to be so well hidden. ¡°Snow Valley¡­ A centipede dies but never falls down. As expected, we can¡¯t leave them to develop¡­¡± A master spoke bluntly without any reservation, attracting the sidelong glances of many. ¡°The ruler of Xue State, the young sect master of the Ice Imperial Sect.¡± They were all very familiar with this person¡¯s identity. He had once distinguished himself on the ancient battlefield and defeated many masters. Even though they were not as famous as Lin Mo and Xiao Yun, no one would doubt their true combat strength. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. I¡¯m currently a wandering cultivator, and Song Lianxue is a disciple of the Snow Valley. It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t show it before,¡± said Mao Zhu as she walked out from the side of the hall. She waved at Song Lianxue, and the two met. After a short conversation, they went backstage. ¡°I¡¯m a bit late. However, I¡¯m quite interested in this Fire Dao Divine Pill. I wonder if everyone is willing to part with it?¡± The Snow Valley Holy Maiden chuckled as she led her people into the auction house. She was originally of the ice attribute and had cultivated the simplified version of the Snow Valley¡¯s legacy-level cultivation technique, the Ice Seal Scroll. Lin Mo could guess the purpose of the auction. He just didn¡¯t know if she would still have the chance to auction off the cultivation and martial arts techniques after auctioning off this Fire Dao Divine Pill. ¡°What a coincidence. I have a friend who cultivates the great Dao of Fire. This Fire Dao Divine Pill is compatible with him so I can¡¯t give it up.¡± On the other side, the young sect master of the Ice Imperial Sect had spoken. The people around him immediately understood and stood up to bid eighty five high-quality spiritual stones. ¡°Young Sect Master Wu Yue, if you want to target me, just say it. Why do you need to find so many excuses?¡± A male disciple of the Snow Valley said bluntly out of dissatisfaction. Wu Yue had not spoken before the arrival of the people from Snow Valley, but now that they had just made a bid, he had immediately joined the bidding. His intention to suppress them was already very obvious. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say more. Eight hundred and seventy thousand,¡± said Xue Qing as she waved her hand to indicate that the disciple should step down and continue to bid. ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied to see the two of you bidding. However, I have to remind you that the competition for the last treasure is very strong. It¡¯ll be very difficult to acquire¡­¡± Out of consideration for Song Lianxue, Lin Mo had spoken up just at the right, hinting at the Holy Maiden of the Snow Valley, Xue Qing. The other party¡¯s aim was probably to give the Fire Dao Divine Pill to Song Lianxue. Song Lianxue had probably called her over to ask her to bid for the two Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts, the Ice God technique and Ice God Palm, for the Snow Valley. ¡°Ninety-eight thousand supreme-grade spiritual stones. This Fire Dao Divine Pill is mine,¡± Xue Qing said as she continued to bid against Wu Yue. The price of the Fire Dao Divine Pill had been raised to One point seven million supreme-grade spiritual stones. With such a high price, he could almost buy some Quasi-Immortal Level immortal materials. However, based on the trend of these two people, it was likely that they would have to continue bidding and raise the price even higher¡­ The other living beings did not find it boring either and watched this scene with great interest. The dispute between the Snow Valley and the Ice Imperial Sect had caused many busybodies to cheer. Some people even secretly used a supreme treasure to transmit their voices and incited the two to continue bidding. ¡°One million eight hundred thousand!¡± ¡°One million ninety thousand!¡± ¡°One million one hundred thousand!¡± The auction¡¯s atmosphere suddenly dropped to a freezing point as the bids were called out one after another. The cold air was mixed with a little bit of killing intent¡­ The disciples from both sides glared at each other with hostility. Seeing this, Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and laughed dryly, ¡°Ahem¡­ My temple can not allow the two of you to fight. Please forgive me and do not ruin my place¡­¡± Hearing this, the coldness in the air disappeared instantly, and the two sides, who had originally been staring daggers at each other, immediately stopped looking at each other. Chapter 766 - 766 Iceheart Snow Crystal 766 Iceheart Snow Crystal Wu Yue, the young master of the Ice Imperial Sect, looked at Lin Mo and took two steps back. ¡°Naturally, since President Lin has spoken, I will have to give him some face,¡± he said. ¡°The price of this Fire Path Divine Pill is already high enough. In order not to affect President Lin¡¯s auction, let¡¯s give it to Snow Valley.¡± As soon as he said this, the disciple beside him immediately went forward and spoke. ¡°Young Master Wu is merciful. Considering that the people from Snow Valley have been well-behaved all these years and have fulfilled the etiquette of a subordinate, I will reward you with this divine pill¡­¡± His voice was very sharp and harsh as if he was deliberately insulting the other party. He even used spiritual qi to spread it out for a long time. ¡°Ugh, it looks like I have to get involved in this dispute¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. The people from Snow Valley had never let Song Lianxue down, and all the resources shared were based on ability and talent. This made it impossible for Song Lianxue to betray the people of Snow Valley. So, between the Ice Imperial Sect and the Snow Valley Clan, the only choice that could be made by the Molin Chamber of Commerce was the latter. ¡°This is a difficult choice¡­¡± Shaking his head, Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and announced the result of the auction. The price of 1,100,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones had exceeded the price of the Fire Dao Divine Pill. Lin Mo was still very shocked when he obtained so many supreme-grade spiritual stones, He immediately injected these supreme-grade spiritual stones into his inner world. [Successful injection. Reward: a Fire Dao Divine Pill of the same quality.] The system¡¯s voice sounded. This time, he was a little surprised. The reward he received this time was actually an identical Fire Dao Divine Pill. At the same time, the system¡¯s voice sounded again. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Heaven-grade Level 9 Fire Dao Divine Pill.] [Successfully triggered 3,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations to the host, for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Fire Dao Immortal Pill.] It was another pill related to the Fire Dao, and it was an immortal pill. This made Lin Mo feel a little helpless. He could devour it himself, but it would be too wasteful. In comparison, it would be better to sell it. ¡°I¡¯ll keep it for now. It will be useful eventually.¡± Under everyone¡¯s expectant gazes, Lin Mo reached out and took out a glowing object the size of a baby¡¯s fist. As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped by a few degrees. Just from the aura, people could determine that this was a treasure of the cold attribute or the ice attribute. ¡°This is an Iceheart Snow Crystal, Level 9 Heaven-class. Unfortunately, it was discovered in advance and its growth was interrupted. ¡± Lin Mo sighed. It was a pity that such a treasure had been destroyed like this. ¡°A complete Iceheart Snow Crystal should be at the Quasi-Immortal level. If it can be nurtured for another hundred years, it will reach this level.¡± Hearing this, many living beings shook their heads and sighed. At the same time, they were also cursing the person who had picked this treasure early and cut off its chance to grow again. ¡°This is a treasure that was put up for auction by someone else. The other party wants a supreme-grade spiritual stone. Of course, all kinds of precious divine medicines and divine pills can also be auctioned. ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and announced the start of the auction. At the same time, some people were also paying close attention to two places in the hall. They were the Snow Valley Saintess Xue Qing and the Ice Imperial Sect¡¯s Young Sect Master Wu Yue. The Iceheart Snow Crystal was a fatal attraction to the two people with ice attributes. It was even more than half of the Quasi-Immortal treasures. Seeing this scene, Xue Qing frowned slightly. She finally felt troubled. The purpose of buying the Fire Dao Divine Pill at the auction had been to rope Song Lianxue in. The latter¡¯s talent had increased greatly, and she had gotten to know Lin Mo and the Qilin. She also had a close relationship with her good friend Mao Zhu. No matter what, this Fire Dao Divine Pill had to be auctioned off as a gift. Her purpose for coming here had also been for the Ice God technique. For this, she had paid a huge price to bring a Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine. She had thought that she would be able to successfully bid for it, but now, the Iceheart Snow Crystal had appeared¡­ ¡°Sigh¡­¡± She sighed slightly, but felt compelled to bid 900,000 when Lin Mo announced the starting price of 800,000¡­ Wu Yue of the Ice Imperial Sect almost cursed out loud. ¡°Holy Lady Xue Qing, do you really have that many spiritual stones? If you bid randomly, you will only embarrass your people of Snow Valley,¡± yelled out the Ice Imperial Sect disciple. ¡°Please don¡¯t disturb the order of the auction. You may pay on credit for this auction. I¡¯ve said it before,¡± reminded Lin Mo. However, even if she could buy it on credit, perhaps Xue Qing would not bid for the Iceheart Snow Crystal. She still had to think about Snow Valley. She had to bring this cultivation method and martial arts technique back¡­ ¡°930,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones,¡± said Wu Yue as he unhappily raised his bid. Who would have thought that just as he made his bid, Xue Qing would raise the price again, directly raising it to 1,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones? ¡°B*tch¡­¡± He silently cursed. Earlier, he had raised the price and made Xue Qing pay a high price to buy the Fire Dao Divine Pill. Now, he was tasting the bitter fruit¡­ ¡°Why, is the young sect master of the Ice Imperial Sect living such a miserable life? Giving up a mere 1,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones? This is a loss of face for the supreme leader of the Snow State.¡± The disciples of Snow Valley were definitely very experienced in beating up a fallen dog. One after another, they began to mock him. ¡°Hmph, Little Doyle, 1.1 million. ¡± ¡°1,200,000. Please forgive me, Young Sect Leader. Xue Qing will not give up this Iceheart Snow Crystal¡­¡± Xue Qing chuckled. ¡°Young Sect Leader¡­¡± On the Ice Imperial Sect¡¯s side, several disciples wanted to calm Wu Yue down. After all, there were still more cultivation techniques to come. There was no need to spend such a huge price. ¡°Get lost,¡± Wu Yue snorted coldly and kicked one of the disciples to the ground. He looked at Xue Qing coldly and carefully said,¡± 1.3 million. If you have the guts, continue following me. ¡± The atmosphere became tense again. Some busybodies wanted to secretly provoke him, but Lin Mo discovered them with his powerful soul power. He sent a voice transmission to warn them not to act rashly. ¡°1.3 million going once!¡± He struck the auction hammer, wanting to end the auction as soon as possible. He had no choice. He was really afraid that the two sides would fight. At that time, who would he help? If they were biased, it would damage the reputation of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. If they were not biased, the disciples of Snow Valley would probably have something to say about it¡­ They still had to work together in the future, so he preferred to make money in peace. ¡°1,310,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± Contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations, Xue Qing didn¡¯t compromise and smiled lightly at the increase of ten thousand. This caused the Ice Imperial Sect¡¯s disciples to become enraged, and they were all on the verge of attacking¡­ ¡°Alright, you guys are amazing. Please continue¡­¡± Lin Mo rolled his eyes. It seemed that he had underestimated the feud between the two clans. ¡°1.35 million.¡± Wu Yue¡¯s face was as dark as water. He made another bid of 1,350,000. This price was already much higher than the Iceheart Snow Crystal. Perhaps, if Xue Qing raised the bid again, Wu Yue would really give up. As such, the competition for the Ice God technique had nothing to do with the people of Snow Valley. ¡°Fine, since Young Sect Master likes the Iceheart Snow Crystal so much, Xue Qing will fulfill his wish and give up.¡± Xue Qing smiled brightly, causing the eyes of some people to widen. However, there were also people who looked at Xue Qing in fear. This lady really held a grudge. Because Wu Yue had raised the price of her previous bid, she had immediately taken revenge¡­ ¡°Deal. Congratulations, Young Sect Master Wu Yue. ¡± Lin Mo chuckled and knocked on the auction hammer. At the same time, he ordered someone to send the Iceheart Snow Crystal down. He also received 1.35 million supreme-grade spiritual stones in return. Chapter 767 - 767 Dao Stone of Enlightenment 767 Dao Stone of Enlightenment Unfortunately, he could only get the handling fee of the auction, which was 5% or 67,500 supreme-grade spiritual stones. He was quite satisfied with this and injected it into his inner world on the spot. [Successful injection. Reward: Heaven-tier Level 6 Ice Chalcedony] A treasure of the ice attribute that could be used for cultivation was pretty good. He could also absorb it directly. [Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Heaven-tier Level 9 Iceheart Snow Crystal.] [Successfully triggered 6,000 times auction rebate.] [Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Iceheart Snow Crystal.] Although the number of times was still acceptable, the treasure that was returned was also at the Quasi-Immortal level. It was the complete version of the Iceheart Snow Crystal. Even he couldn¡¯t bear to devour such a treasure directly. Whether it was him or the Qilin, it would be too wasteful to use this. Only cultivators with the ice attribute would be the most suitable for it. Currently, neither the Snow Valley¡¯s Holy Maiden Xue Qing nor the Ice Imperial Sect¡¯s Young Sect Master Wu Yue was suitable. However, Lin Mo had no intention of giving it away for the time being. Perhaps he would save it for the next auction as the treasure in the finale¡­ ¡°Finally, the final moment has arrived. I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and took out a sky-blue scroll. As soon as it appeared, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped. A layer of ice mist slowly condensed around his body. One could see the divinity of this cultivation technique. ¡°Quasi-Immortal Level cultivation technique, Ice God Technique, and the accompanying martial arts technique, Ice God Palm. The starting price is 1,800,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡± ¡°Of course, if you don¡¯t have enough supreme-grade spiritual stones, you can also use various treasures to offset the price.¡± As soon as he finished speaking and before Xue Qing and Wu Yue could even make a move, three powerful auras suddenly appeared in the hall. Without exception, these people were all masters of the same realm as Xue Qing and the others. The difference in combat strength was not big, and it was not clear who would be stronger when they fought. Moreover, among the three of them, two of them had the ice attribute, and one had the power of yin in his body. They were all extremely suitable for this cultivation technique. ¡°It was hidden so deeply¡­¡± Xue Qing was shocked and gave a slight sigh. It was a little difficult to successfully bid for cultivation techniques and martial arts at this auction. ¡°I¡¯ll pay one million supreme-grade spiritual stones, seven Heaven-grade Level 9 divine pills, and three Heaven-grade Level 9 divine medicines.¡± Someone was the first to speak, making a very high bid. The total price exceeded two million supreme-grade spiritual stones. In the end, Lin Mo set the price at 2.2 million supreme-grade spiritual stones. Such a high price caused the others to fall silent. At this moment, Xue Qing stood out and took out the Quasi-Immortal medicine that she had been keeping. ¡°I bid 300,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, plus a Quasi-Immortal medicine, the ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King.¡± As soon as the Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine appeared, everyone was shocked as they stared at Xue Qing¡¯s palm without blinking. On the palm of her hand was a box carved out of ice crystals. After opening it, a snow-white ginseng lay inside. Runes wrapped around its body, binding the Ginseng King. One had to know that divine medicine already possessed the wisdom of some living beings, knowing how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Quasi-Immortal medicine was even more mystical. Other than being unable to speak, it could even be treated as a normal living being. It had a certain level of combat strength and was very weak, but it could penetrate many runes and formations. After being caught, it would think of a way to escape and would not be easily eaten by living beings. It was very difficult for such a spiritual treasure to be born in the world. At the same Quasi-Immortal Level, the value of immortal medicine even exceeded some ordinary cultivation techniques and martial arts. As for the Ice God technique and Ice God Palm that Lin Mo was auctioning off, they were priceless because they were a set. ¡°It really is the Ginseng King. It¡¯s good stuff,¡± exclaimed Lin Mo as he felt very tempted. He immediately set the price of this Quasi-Immortal Level plant at three million supreme-grade spiritual stones. In addition, Xue Qing had 300,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, so the price exceeded the others. As for Wu Yue, he took out a pile of divine medicines and divine pills and emptied out his savings, but he only managed to gather 2.4 million, which was far from enough. If he had not bought the Iceheart Snow Crystal, he would have had a chance to surpass Xue Qing¡¯s price. ¡°It is unexpected that even a Quasi-Immortal medicine has appeared¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled and looked to the other side. There were a total of five people who were qualified to compete. One of them immediately retreated after seeing the Quasi-Immortal medicine. He felt that he could not win the competition and was unwilling to stay. There was still one last person left. Lin Mo had a premonition that this person had a Quasi-Immortal treasure in his hands. He just didn¡¯t know which was more valuable compared to the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡°Are you still willing to bid? If you are not willing, then this Quasi-Immortal level cultivation method and martial arts technique will belong to Holy Lady Xue Qing,¡± said Lin Mo calmly. He didn¡¯t mind selling these two things to anyone of them. After all, they weren¡¯t enemies. As long as it wasn¡¯t the young sect master of the Ice Imperial Sect. ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble President Lin to set the price.¡± The other party spoke slowly. He was dressed in a black robe and a bamboo hat. His voice was deliberately hoarse as he did not want to expose his identity. Everyone looked over, wanting to know what kind of treasure it was that could be compared to a Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡°I have a Dao Stone of Enlightenment here. It¡¯s the size of a palm and its grade is at the Quasi-Immortal Level.¡± Dao Stones of Enlightenment were the most popular no matter where they were. Moreover, it was a Quasi-Immortal Level Stone of Enlightenment. If he could really obtain it, the Qilin could use it to comprehend the Dao. Within three years, she would almost certainly break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. At that time, her battle prowess would be greatly improved. ¡°It truly is a treasure¡­¡± Everyone was shocked. This was too precious, especially the Stone of Enlightenment. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was comparable to a Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡°It¡¯s a good treasure. Although it¡¯s small, it¡¯s not inferior to a Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. And because of its rarity, it¡¯s priced at 3.2 million supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡± Lin Mo gave a fair price. He was still 100,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones away from Xue Qing¡¯s bid. Hearing this, the other party took out another cloth bag. There were exactly 110,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones in it. ¡°Holy Maiden Xue Qing, are you still willing to increase the price?¡± Lin Mo turned around to ask. He didn¡¯t want to miss out on the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King, but he also wanted this Stone of Enlightenment and he had already made up his mind. ¡°Forget it. It seems that this item has no fate with my Snow Valley. I will give up¡­¡± Xue Qing sighed slightly. The other party could obviously offer a higher price. It was a little tactless of her to insist on competing. However, she did not feel any regret. The moment she had seen the Fire Dao Divine Pill, she had decided to buy it, no matter how much it cost. What Song Lianxue had done for Snow Valley was only the cost of a Fire Dao Divine Pill. It was not enough to repay her. ¡°In that case, this cultivation technique will be auctioned off to this fellow Daoist at the price of 3,310,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± Lin Mo tapped the auction hammer and tossed the scroll out. At the same time, the Qilin who had been hiding in the shadows also appeared, intimidating some of the thieves who were about to be blinded by greed. The terrifying aura of the two people spread out, and some soul fluctuations that had wanted to secretly spy on the buyer¡¯s identity were immediately shattered. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Some of these creatures screamed. Their soul fluctuations were shattered and they were injured. Terrified, they stared at Lin Mo and the Qilin. They did not dare to stay any longer. They quickly crushed a Teleportation Talisman and left. Chapter 768 - 768 The Deal 768 The Deal ¡°Wow, a Stone of Enlightenment. It¡¯s for me, right? ¡± The Qilin was very excited as she stared at the Stone of Enlightenment in Lin Mo¡¯s hand and drooled. ¡°When the time comes, I¡¯ll give you a better piece¡­¡± said Lin Mo as he held his forehead as he told the little girl to behave herself. He looked at the black-robed man who had put away the scroll. The other party was already preparing to leave. Lin Mo hurriedly said, ¡°Do you need me to ask the Qilin to send you off? I guarantee that no one will follow you.¡± He was very patient with big clients. After all, they had given him such a precious treasure. ¡°Thank you, President Lin. There¡¯s no need for it for now. Next time you have a treasure, remember to publicize it more¡­¡± The other party¡¯s hoarse voice spread out. After a spatial fluctuation, his figure disappeared. Lin Mo also interfered, disrupting the spatial fluctuations, thus making it impossible for others to track the person down. Many creatures nodded upon witnessing this. Their good impression of the Molin Chamber of Commerce soared. It was rare to see such a responsible chamber of commerce association in the world¡­ ¡°Everyone, the auction is over. You may start to leave.¡± After saying a few simple words, Lin Mo left and gathered with the Qilin and the others in a small courtyard. Zhao Tianyu did not come. He was in charge of various matters after the auction. At the same time, he was purchasing treasures to prepare for the next auction. Feng Tian had sensed something during his cultivation recently. He had left Lin City when Lin Mo came out of seclusion today to explore the ruins and seek an opportunity to make a breakthrough. Only Lin Mo, the Qilin, Song Lianxue, and Mao Zhu had invited the disciples of the Snow Valley to come. After some small talk, Xue Qing took out the Fire Dao Divine Pill and gave it to Song Lian Xue. ¡°Thank you, Holy Maiden¡­¡± Song Lian Xue accepted it guiltily. If it wasn¡¯t for the Fire Dao Divine Pill, Xue Qing would have been able to buy the Ice God technique. ¡°The two of you practice the same cultivation method. It¡¯s better to take it together.¡± After witnessing Song Lianxue obtain the Fire Dao Divine Pill, Lin Mo didn¡¯t back down and took out another Fire Dao Divine Pill. Seeing a precious divine pill given out just like that caused the Snow Valley disciples who were present to be greatly shocked. At the same time, they looked at Mao Zhu with envy. This person was very famous within the Snow State. She had entered the Hidden Dragon List as a rogue cultivator and was someone that the Snow Valley and Ice Imperial Sect were trying their best to rope in. Unexpectedly, she had chosen to join the lineup of the God Devouring Body in the ancient battlefield. However, after seeing such treatment, they understood why Mao Zhu was willing to give up her identity as a rogue cultivator¡­ ¡°Oh right, are you willing to exchange the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King with me?¡± Lin Mo had suddenly turned to ask Xue Qing this question after giving out the Fire Dao Divine Pill. The disciples of the Snow Valley tensed up and looked at Lin Mo. A sense of powerlessness arose, causing them to feel despair. At such a close distance, Lin Mo could probably kill all of them, including the Holy Maiden Xue Qing¡­ ¡°Senior brothers and sisters, there¡¯s no need to be so worried. Brother Lin will not forcefully take away anything from his friends¡­¡± Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Song Lianxue hurriedly explained, causing the Snow Valley disciples to heave a sigh of relief. ¡°I thought that Brother Lin would not take a fancy to my Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King¡­¡± Xue Qing blinked and looked at Lin Mo. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes. She was dissatisfied that Lin Mo had not sold the cultivation technique in the auction to her, even though she knew that he was impartial and that the Dao Stone of Enlightenment was indeed more valuable than the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King¡­ ¡°Ahem, I have something in my hand that might interest Lady Xue Qing.¡± Lin Mo coughed dryly and quickly took out the complete Iceheart Snow Crystal from the system space. An icy cold aura filled the entire courtyard. In an instant, the lake was frozen, and everyone felt a bone-chilling chill. This ice attribute energy was extremely dense, possessing an irresistible allure for any ice attribute cultivator. ¡°This is¡­ a complete Iceheart Snow Crystal¡­¡± Xue Qing¡¯s eyes narrowed as she covered her mouth with her hand. She found it hard to believe the scene in front of her. Pure white light spread out, and the entire courtyard turned to snow. Everyone stared at the pure white crystal in Lin Mo¡¯s hand without blinking. After confirming it carefully, they finally nodded. This was truly an Iceheart Snow Crystal, and it was of extremely high quality. It was the complete version, and its price was even higher than a Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡°How about this item in exchange?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The Iceheart Snow Crystal didn¡¯t have much effect on him. This pure ice attribute power could only be maximized if it was absorbed by a suitable person. His blind devouring was purely a reckless waste of natural resources. It was a kind of extravagant waste. ¡°Brother Lin, are you serious?¡± Xue Qing¡¯s eyes were fixed on the Iceheart Snow Crystal, unable to move her gaze away. This was an extremely rare item. Even in the Snow State where it was winter all year long and where snow was everywhere, one might not find many Iceheart Snow Crystals. Moreover, this treasure was hidden deep in the glacier and was difficult to find. There was one in Snow Valley, but it was still incomplete. Even so, it was still worshipped as a treasure. The Valley Master had given her a request. She could only absorb the Iceheart Snow Crystal after she had mastered the Great Frost Sealing Scripture. However, a complete Iceheart Snow Crystal was right in front of her, and she couldn¡¯t take her eyes off it. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Compared to this, I prefer the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡± Lin Mo nodded with a smile and handed the Iceheart Snow Crystal to Xue Qing. The latter hurriedly took it and took out a box carved out of ice. Inside was a Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. ¡°This Dao Stone of Enlightenment and the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King are not bad. They can be auctioned off as finale treasures.¡± ¡°However, in order to appear in the auction at the same time, a treasure that is sufficiently stunning will be needed as the finale¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. He was thinking about when the next auction would take place and what treasures to auction off¡­ Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts and cultivation techniques could not appear in the short term. After all, if he took too many out, it would easily arouse suspicion. At that time, if he was targeted, it would be troublesome. ¡°I can try to sell some Immortal Pills¡­¡± As for immortal pills, he still had a Quasi-Immortal Level Fire Dao Immortal Pill. Since there was only one, it would not be easy to distribute it. Thus, he also planned to sell it in exchange for supreme-grade spiritual stones for cultivation. After all, apart from the fact that he needed spiritual stones to break through to the God Devouring Body, the system also said that he needed supreme-grade spiritual stones in the inner world. By the looks of it, he would probably need quite a lot. At that time, it would end up being another bottomless pit¡­ ¡°Are you out of your mind? You want to sell such a treasure?¡± After hearing Lin Mo whisper this, the person beside him glared at Lin Mo like an angry kitten. Whether it was the Dao Stone of Enlightenment or the Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King, she coveted them all and wanted to get them directly. However, in the end, Lin Mo wanted to use it as a treasure for the next auction. How could she accept this¡­ ¡°Stop fooling around. I said that I would give you something better¡­¡± Lin Mo held down the little girl who wanted to snatch it away and reached out to rub her little head, ruffling her hair until it was a mess¡­ The Qilin bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she fought Lin Mo ferociously. She grabbed Lin Mo¡¯s arm and bit down hard. ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Lin Mo had used all his strength. But even with his physical body, he was still bitten and blood flowed out. ¡°Are you a dog¡­¡± Lin Mo was furious. The pain from his arm made him roll his eyes as he looked on helplessly. This wretched girl had really bit him. Chapter 769 - 769 Quasi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation 769 Quasi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation ¡°Hmph!¡± Laughter filled the courtyard. Only the Qilin pouted and turned her face away, ignoring Lin Mo. Seeing this, Lin Mo was speechless. It took him a lot of effort to coax this angry little girl. ¡°I can tell that Brother Lin is a good brother,¡± Xue Qing joked. She had heard rumors about the Qilin earlier, but they had not been good. Although she was a divine beast, she was also a demonic beast. It had once been said that she had crippled the four demonic generals of the Behemoth Clan with just one move, and its eyes had turned red from the kill. Facing the siege from the Earth Dragon, the Wind Dragon, and the Zhu Yan clans, all three masters had fled in a panic. She had believed all of the rumors until she had witnessed such a cute side of her today¡­ ¡°She does have a little conscience.¡± The Qilin pursed her lips. She still refused to forgive Lin Mo, but her evaluation of him improved slightly. The small gathering came to an end, and Xue Qing left with the people from Snow Valley. Song Lianxue continued to stay because Mao Zhu had obtained the Fire Dao Divine Pill. The two of them had the same cultivation technique, so they went into seclusion together. After about ten days, Feng Tian returned with a few divine herbs and some news from the outside world. Tang Ru of the Sacred Blood Dragon Clan went into seclusion and began to cultivate to make her bloodline purer. The Dragon Palace returned to peace and was no longer active. On the other hand, Xiao Yun from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and the Young Master White Fox from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had been having some friction recently. Lin Mo and the Qilin stayed in Lin City and did not go out much. Xia You had already killed himself and left, leaving the entire ancient battlefield as a place for the two of them to fight. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. During this period of time, Lin City remained the same. Every day, he held auctions of various sizes, and Lin Mo received a large number of resources for this. With the help of these cultivation resources, both he and the Qilin successfully broke through and reached the Sixth Heaven Layer of the King Realm. However, before they could be happy, a terrifying phenomenon spread, and a brilliant heavenly might appeared. Thunderclouds descended on the continent, and a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation was born. ¡°This is the Quasi-Saint Lightning Tribulation¡­¡± It was a very important piece of news that a living being had broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. A King and a Quasi-Saint realms were a dividing line that was difficult to cross. The entire Lin City was in an uproar. A Quasi-Saint was going to appear so soon? However, he did not know which senior had killed himself and entered the battlefield to cultivate again. He hadn¡¯t shown himself until now, when the Quasi-Saint¡¯s Heavenly Tribulation had exposed his whereabouts. ¡°This person¡¯s aura is strong, and his realm fluctuates greatly. He must have just made a breakthrough,¡± Lin Mo muttered. This meant that this person had been in seclusion near Lin City for some time. The cultivation resources might even have been obtained from Lin City. ¡°I just don¡¯t know if they are friend or foe¡­¡± Behind him, three people walked over with solemn expressions on their faces. This Quasi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation was only the beginning. Next, the ones who would rule this battlefield would be these Quasi-Saints who had just made a breakthrough¡­ ¡°Miss Fang Luo, how is the Three Gods Sword Formation doing?¡± Lin Mo asked when he saw the three of them. All this while, these three had been so obsessed with formations that they had forgotten to eat and sleep as they worked hard to study the Celestial Slaying Sword Formation. The Three Gods Sword Formation that was derived from this could be triggered independently under the continuous improvement of the three of them. Now that Xia You was not around, Mu Yuzhu could not be contacted for a short period of time. With one less person in the formation eye, it would be a flaw when it was activated. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President. Everything is perfect. As long as you and the Qilin are here, there¡¯s no need to fear Quasi-Saint powerhouses,¡± Fang Luo said excitedly, her eyes shining. This was the greatest improvement in their research during this period of time. By gathering the three formation cores, they could be controlled by one person. Even so, the terrifying energy of the three Quasi-Saints would cause damage to the people guarding the center. However, the Qilin and Lin Mo both had extraordinary bodies, and they had reached the peak of the King Realm. Withstanding the power of a Quasi-Saint would not be a problem at all. ¡°A great battle is coming. Lin City might be affected¡­¡± The Qilin said as she walked over from behind. Fang Luo and the others were worried. However, when they saw Lin Mo and the Qilin, her anxious heart relaxed again. With these two and the Three Gods Sword Formation, there should be no problem protecting Lin City. ¡°Do you think there are any Quasi-Saint masters from the Gongsun Family and the Behemoth Clan who are hiding?¡± Lin Mo had suddenly spoken. He had to consider this question. Somehow, he felt uneasy. He felt that there was a master hiding in the shadows who was targeting Lin City and him¡­ This was just a feeling, an intuition after cultivating the Qilin spell technique ¡­ ¡°There definitely is. Moreover, I should be breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm soon¡­¡± Fang Luo and the other two answered directly. Every time the Hidden Dragon List was opened, the various forces would send a few Quasi-Saints or even Saint-level masters. They didn¡¯t participate in any battles. After they had entered, they had worked hard to cultivate and had consumed a large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures to reach the Quasi-Saint realm as quickly as possible. As long as they could break through, they would be able to dominate this battlefield. Any rogue cultivator or weak force that was unwilling to submit would only die. However, something unexpected happened this time. Gongsun Wenhao and Shentu Zhe had been kicked out by Lin Mo earlier. The second time the former had entered, he had been killed by Lin Mo. This enmity was huge. As long as these two Quasi-Saints broke through, they would definitely attack Lin City. ¡°What about the auction?¡± The Qilin was a little worried. As early as a few days ago, they had started to publicize the Quasi-Immortal Level Dao Stone of Enlightenment and the Quasi-Immortal Level Ninth-grade Snow Ginseng King. The appearance of the two treasures caused a sensation. The auction was set to be held half a month later, giving some people time to receive the news. However, from the looks of it, that auction would probably attract Quasi-Saint powerhouses¡­ If it was an ordinary person, both he and the Qilin could still suppress them with their martial strength. However, a Quasi-Saint master could not possibly activate the formation on the spot¡­ ¡°The auction will proceed as usual. However, some treasures will be auctioned in advance. We will only sell these two treasures on the last day¡­¡± Lin Mo had no choice but to make some adjustments. He could auction off some of the lower-grade treasures first. ¡°Zhao Tianyu is in seclusion¡­ Sister Fang Luo, please go and make the arrangements¡­¡± The Qilin giggled as she didn¡¯t want to be in charge. As for Lin Mo, he left the Molin Chamber of Commerce after giving the order and started to stroll around Lin City. A storm was coming, and he had to prepare early. He still had some unused treasures on him, so it was necessary to exchange them for more useful ones. This was especially true for battle-type talismans. It was very likely that they would play a key role in increasing his bravery in the upcoming battle. ¡°Green Wood Garden. I heard that the owner behind this is also a master who is ranked at the top of the Hidden Dragon List¡­¡± Walking in Lin City, Lin Mo came to the entrance of a newly built courtyard. He knocked on the wooden door. Two maids opened the door. When they saw that it was Lin Mo, they were shocked. ¡°The owner of this place is a talisman master, right? I have a business deal to discuss with her¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled and asked the two maids to lead the way. After passing through the bluestone road, there was a lake in the small courtyard. There were a few ornamental fish in it, and they were all spiritual creatures. In the middle of the lake, in a pavilion, there was a delicate and pretty woman with her eyes closed. Her jade-like hands gently stroked the strings of the zither, and the sound of the zither curled up. The two maids were instantly intoxicated by it, enjoying it greatly. Only Lin Mo¡¯s eyes gradually turned solemn¡­ Chapter 770 - 770 Picking Up Good Deals in the Black Market 770 Picking Up Good Deals in the Black Market ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that a Quasi-Saint would be hidden in this small Lin City of mine, but I never knew about it¡­¡± He let out a faint sigh and used his will to activate the system space. It should be called the Inner World now, and it was gradually changing. It was closely related to Lin Mo and could spontaneously nurture the spiritual qi of heaven and earth¡­ ¡°There is no need to be nervous. It is still unknown whether I can escape from your hands alone¡­¡± The woman chuckled and opened her eyes. The zither music stopped abruptly. The two female servants were shocked when they heard these words. They were completely stunned and did not dare to speak. ¡°Senior must be joking¡­¡± Lin Mo clasped his fists and bowed. Never in his dreams had he expected that there would be a Quasi-Saint in Lin City¡­ ¡°I had a breakthrough a month ago. The location of the tribulation is a little far so it¡¯s not unusual that you didn¡¯t notice.¡± The woman beckoned her hand to invite Lin Mo over. The two maids made tea, not daring to be disrespectful. ¡°Speaking of which, I have to thank you for me being able to break through so quickly. Did you come to find me because you need talismans?¡± She took a sip of tea. The only thing she could offer in this Qingmu Garden were talismans. As a talisman master, her cultivation level had returned to that of a Saint-to-be, and she was more proficient in making talismans. ¡°I need to buy a batch of talismans. The higher the grade, the better. I want everything,¡± said Lin Mo as he explained his intentions. For this, he took out three divine herbs, which were at Level 8 Heaven-class, and a dozen martial arts manuals, all of which were at Level 6 or 7 Heaven-class. To him, this was nothing. After all, he needed to consume a large amount of divine medicine just to cultivate. However, for ordinary people, this was still a huge sum of money. ¡°Is it to deal with the Quasi-Saint master that is about to arrive?¡± The woman chuckled. She already knew the situation Lin Mo was facing. ¡°I have other uses for it. Senior, please help me,¡± said Lin Mo as he clasped his fists together. In fact, if one wanted to hurt a Saint-to-be, the level of the talisman would be around Level 6 or Level 7 of the Heaven-class. However, due to the difficulty of making it, its value was seriously different from ordinary divine medicines. At most, the treasures that Lin Mo had brought could only be exchanged for three Level 7 Heaven-class attack talismans. As one¡¯s realm increased, the value of a talisman master would far exceed that of other sub-professions. ¡°I can give you three attack talismans and a defensive one. I¡¯ll treat it as good karma,¡± said the woman as she accepted the divine medicine. ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed to see the other party take out four golden talismans. In this way, this could be considered a trump card. Even if the Three Gods Sword Formation could not block the attack, he still had the support of the talismans¡­ After leaving Qingmu Garden, Lin Mo turned around and walked away to someplace else. He headed to the most lively place in Lin City. Unless the Molin Chamber of Commerce held an auction, it would be incomparable to this place. ¡°The black market. Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t been here since it was established¡­¡± Lin Mo looked at an entrance and muttered to himself. There were all kinds of people in this place. It had only been established one or two years ago. However, many treasures had also appeared since, and there was even one time when it had caused a commotion. Someone spent a stalk of Semi-Divine medicine to buy a fragment of a Quasi-Immortal artifact and smelted it into his own artifact on the spot. After hearing about this, Lin Mo had wanted to come to the black market to take a look. However, because he had been busy cultivating, he had never had the chance. He walked in and concealed his aura with the World-Changing Technique. He changed his appearance and walked in front of the stalls. ¡°Speaking of which, I seem to be able to use the Eye of Destiny¡­¡± Lin Mo recalled that the Qilin spell had recorded how to control fate and how to use the Eye of Destiny to change one¡¯s fate. However, because he was not the divine beast Qilin, he could not use this move easily. At most, the Qilin would only consume some of its origin energy. After all, it had the power of its bloodline. However, he was different. Once he used it, he would probably not end up far from death. His realm was not enough. Even immortal medicine could not save him if he forcefully activated it¡­ ¡°With fate on my side, I should be able to find some treasures¡­¡± With a confident smile, he followed his instincts and stopped at each stall. ¡°Dark Demon Leg, Heaven-class Level 4 martial arts technique¡­¡± ¡°Heaven-class Level 5 Divine Medicine, Ten Thousand Year Blood Spirit Grass¡­¡± A dazzling array of treasures came into his sight. Most of them were divine medicines and divine pills. During this period, he could also see magic weapons, cultivation techniques, martial arts techniques, and even formation diagrams. They were all treasures that would cause quite a stir in the outside world. Quasi-Saints would participate in the fight for them. But here, it seemed a little ordinary. There were countless ruins on the battlefield, and there were many divine medicines growing everywhere. With so many opportunities available, people¡¯s standards had also become higher. Divine medicines that were similar to Heaven-class Level 1 or 2 had already become ordinary items¡­ As he walked, Lin Mo was still not satisfied. After strolling through a street, he found more than ten treasures. Unfortunately, when he asked about the prices, he could only shake his head helplessly. Although he wouldn¡¯t lose anything if he auctioned them off, there was no need to do this. After sighing, he prepared to leave. He felt that his luck was not good today and decided to return to the Molin Chamber of Commerce to cultivate. However, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Coincidentally, he walked over to stand in front of a vendor. There was a seven-colored jade stone being displayed here that was about the size of a baby¡¯s fist and emitted a dazzling luster. It emitted a special energy that made Lin Mo feel very comfortable. ¡°This is¡­ a Rainbow-Colored Jade?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. This was a rare jade stone. There was a gentle power inside of it that could be absorbed by people. Regardless of whether it was a human or a demonic beast, after absorbing the power, it could greatly increase their cultivation and also have the effect of nourishing spiritual qi. However, this effect was useless against Lin Mo. The spiritual qi of the God Devouring Body did not need to be nurtured¡­ ¡°How much do you plan to sell this for?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°Heaven-class Level 7 Rainbow-Colored Jade, one Heaven-class Level 7 Divine Pill,¡± said the stall owner with an indifferent glance at the item. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m not losing out¡­¡± Lin Mo thought to himself. In the past, when he had brought the Qilin along to search for treasures, the Qilin might have felt the same way. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s a deal¡­¡± He was too lazy to bargain. He quickly took out a divine pill and kept the Rainbow-Colored Jade aside. ¡°Hmm?¡± The stall owner was a little stunned. He was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Lin Mo, who had already walked far away, and could only swallow his words¡­ ¡°D*mn it, why did you give me the money so quickly? Did I make a mistake? But that¡¯s clearly a Rainbow-Colored Jade, so how could it be like that?¡± The stall owner muttered to himself. He felt that he had suffered a loss, but he could not determine where he had suffered a loss¡­ On the other side, Lin Mo left the black market and stored the Rainbow-Colored Jade in his Inner World. The system¡¯s voice sounded at this moment, helping him to appraise the Rainbow-Colored Jade. [ Nine-Colored Jade Stone. A formation has been engraved inside, sealing the Nine-Colored Chalcedony. The jade stone¡¯s grade is Ninth-grade Heaven-class, and the chalcedony¡¯s grade is Quasi-Immortal class¡­] Lin Mo almost cried out when he heard the notification. This wasn¡¯t a Rainbow-Colored Jade at all. It was a Nine-Colored Jade, and there was a chalcedony inside of it. It was a Quasi-Immortal Level treasure, and its value was comparable to the Quasi-Immortal Level Stone of Enlightenment in his hand. ¡°Still¡­ I¡¯ve truly found a treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo was speechless. Had he been so lucky as to be in this area? He had picked up a treasure just by strolling around¡­ He could take the opportunity to promote it during tonight¡¯s auction¡­ Chapter 771 - 771 A Dangerous Mission 771 A Dangerous Mission The sun was setting in the west. Many people from the Molin Chamber of Commerce had arrived at the center of Lin City. Many creatures from other forces in the city were shocked when they heard that there would be an auction today. They thought that Lin Mo had changed his mind after the appearance of the Quasi-Saint Heavenly Tribulation and wanted to have an auction ahead of time. After asking around, they found out that it was just an ordinary auction, and they all heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Welcome to the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Let¡¯s cut to the chase and begin the auction. ¡± On the stage, Fang Luo came forward to host the auction. This also made many people feel at ease. Lin Mo and the Qilin did not show up, which meant that tonight¡¯s auction was just an appetizer. ¡°The first item is a Level 3 Heaven-class martial arts technique, Blazing Fire Slash. The starting price is 10,000 supreme spiritual stones. ¡± When Fang Luo tapped the auction hammer, a few creatures below began to make their bids. Backstage, Lin Mo quietly watched. He spread out his soul power to see if any Quasi-Saint powerhouses had snuck in¡­ ¡°Sold. Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding for the Blazing Fire Slash for 18,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡± ¡°The next auction item is¡­¡± [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Level 3 Heaven-class Martial Arts Technique, Scarlet Fire Slash.] [ Successfully triggered 4,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 6 Heaven-class Martial Arts Technique, Blazing Fire Slash. ] The system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind, but Lin Mo did not pay attention to it. He scanned the hall with his soul power. In the end, all he could do was shake his head in helplessness. Among the people who came here, the strongest were only at the Seventh Heaven Layer of King Realm and there were three of them. There had been even stronger cultivators who had come in before, but when they saw that the auctioneer was Fang Luo and that the final treasure was only a Level 7 Heaven-class, they left immediately. ¡°He hasn¡¯t come yet¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. After seeing that the auction was going as usual, he no longer had a tense expression on his face and began to enjoy the auction. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Next up is the finale treasure of this auction. It¡¯s a Level 7 Heaven-class attack talisman. It¡¯s very rare!¡± Fang Luo gave a slight smile. Originally, the finale this time was meant to have been a Heaven-class Level 6 divine medicine. Ultimately, Lin Mo had gone out and handed her a Level 7 Heaven-class attack talisman when he returned. This was a talisman that could severely injure a Quasi-Saint and was extremely difficult to make. Its value far exceeded its own at this time. ¡°It¡¯s actually a Heaven-class Level 7 attack talisman. The Molin Chamber of Commerce even has such a treasure¡­¡± Some people were shocked and found it unbelievable. At the same time, they were puzzled as to why Lin Mo and the others weren¡¯t keeping such talismans for themselves. Could it be that they were so confident in Lin City¡¯s formation that they thought it could block many Quasi-Saints? ¡°In the outside world, a Level 7 Heaven-class attack talisman should be worth 400,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. However, due to the special situation in the ancient battlefield, naturally, the price has changed. ¡± After the introduction, Fang Luo rapped the hammer and said, ¡°The starting price is 500,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, and each increment must not be lower than 10,000. Let the auction begin.¡± ¡°It has actually increased by a hundred thousand¡­¡± ¡°Hmph, a large number of Quasi-Saints are about to come out of seclusion. Compared to their lives, what are 100,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones?¡± Someone sneered and immediately bid 550,000. He was determined to get the attack talisman. ¡°570,000.¡± ¡°600,000.¡± ¡°610,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones¡­¡± A new round of competition began. This talisman had extraordinary significance. With it, it was equivalent to having a method that would make the Quasi-Saints afraid. Although it was not enough to resist, it could still fight for a chance of survival. ¡°650,000¡­¡± ¡°680,000¡­¡± After a round of fighting, only the three people that Lin Mo had sensed earlier were still persisting. They were three Seventh Heaven Kings. ¡°Don¡¯t be in such a hurry¡­¡± Backstage, Lin Mo was helpless. He had not announced it earlier because he had wanted to auction it at a loss and get a higher return¡­ As a result, he had underestimated the attractiveness of a high-level attack talisman. Now, the price of this talisman had been raised to 750,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. It was equivalent to a Heaven-class Level 9 divine medicine, and the price was still rising. Not only that, someone was sending a message to inform the forces behind them. Perhaps these people would also bid¡­ ¡°Excuse me, can I pay on credit for this auction?¡± Someone asked. They had received instructions to bid for the talismans as much as possible. Someone would come with spiritual stones to retrieve them¡­ ¡°This¡­¡± Fang Luo was a little hesitant. She remembered that Lin Mo usually did not allow credit, but there were exceptions¡­ ¡°Let them bid.¡± Fang Luo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Mo¡¯s voice transmission. ¡°Yes, please feel free to bid.¡± As soon as these words were said, it immediately caused dissatisfaction. Those three people were probably casual cultivators, so they immediately withdrew from the bidding. They had thought that they would be able to pick up some loot, but in the end, they had missed out on the treasure¡­ ¡°Go ahead. Since the situation is already like this, it¡¯s best to break a million¡­¡± Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders backstage. He could inject the spiritual stones he had obtained into his Inner World. With such a large number of supreme-grade spiritual stones injected, he should be able to obtain a considerable reward¡­ ¡°970,000!¡± ¡°1,000,000!¡± ¡°1,050,000 supreme spiritual stones! ¡± After a round of bidding, the various forces competed, and the final price successfully exceeded one million. The people from the Dragon Palace had bid for this Level 7 Heaven-class attack talisman at 1,050,000. The auction ended. At dawn on the same day, the fluctuation of the Space Teleportation Formation came from outside the Forest City. A master had come with 1,050,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones to take the talisman from Lin Mo¡¯s hand. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a Level 7 Heaven-class Attack Talisman. ] [ Successfully triggered 10,000 times auction reward. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-class Level 9 Attack Talisman.] After the success of the transaction, the system¡¯s rebate arrived. This surprised Lin Mo. He had not expected to receive a 10,000-fold return. ¡°Good luck will always accompany me¡­¡± He was overjoyed. If used properly, a Level 9 Heaven-class talisman could even kill a Quasi-Saint in seconds. [ System mission: The buyer of this auction has been intercepted by a Quasi-Saint. Host, please go to the rescue and help the Molin Chamber of Commerce to recruit powerful allies. ] [ Mission completion reward: 5,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.] The system¡¯s voice continued to ring in his ears. He was extremely lucky to have received another mission from the system. The only drawback was that this mission was very dangerous. If he was careless and accidentally killed by a Quasi-Saint, he would be finished. After leaving the ancient battlefield, the factions from the outside would not let him off, especially the Gongsun family and the Behemoth Clan, these two families were powerful forces with Emperor-to-be existences¡­ ¡°First, I¡¯ll inject these 1,050,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones into the inner world,¡± he said with gritted teeth. [ Successful injection. You have received a Level 9 Heaven-class Teleportation Talisman. It can be used once and can break through spatial sealing formations below Level 7 Heaven-class. ] The spiritual qi in the Inner World was a little more abundant. He had obtained another talisman, and it was the most precious Spatial Teleportation Talisman. ¡°Alright, wealth comes from danger.¡± Lin Mo immediately stood up and sent a voice transmission to the Qilin, telling her to show up more often and guard Lin City. Without further ado, he hurried out of the city and headed in the direction the system had pointed out. Not long after, he sensed a terrifying aura. Other than that, there was also a sealed space. That was a Quasi-Saint¡¯s technique. It was extremely terrifying and could isolate spatial formations. Without hesitation, Lin Mo took out the War Demon Spear and gathered all his strength. He then spread the power of the Kun Peng. In addition, he used the Eight Demonic Puppets to shatter space and fly in¡­ Chapter 772 - 772 Quasi-Saint Luo Fei 772 Quasi-Saint Luo Fei ¡°What a surprise. There is actually a little mouse that is impatiently chasing after us¡­¡± Just as he barged in, Lin Mo heard a chuckle. The space was sealed. This time, the seal was even more thorough. Lin Mo felt that even if he used all his strength, it would be difficult to break through. He gave a slight sigh. It was indeed troublesome, but it seemed that he had no choice but to get involved in this muddy water¡­ The person was tall, two meters tall, and as strong as an ox. His voice was loud and clear, like the sound of the Great Dao, and caused Lin Mo¡¯s eardrums to hurt¡­ Lin Mo didn¡¯t say a word. As he held the War Demon Spear, he felt that it was inadequate, so he took out a piece of armor and put it on. In addition, he circulated the Qilin¡¯s spell technique, and strands of the Dao Law of Fate appeared. From the moment he entered, he was prepared to fight with all his might but he actually didn¡¯t have the confidence to face a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Wait a minute. Can you tell me why you barged in?¡± The brawny man smiled disdainfully. The space was completely sealed by him. Even a spatial talisman would be difficult to activate here. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that the rules of my Chamber of Commerce mean I need to protect my customers a little and leave a good reputation,¡± chuckled Lin Mo when he saw the people from Dragon Palace. The ground was covered in blood and the corpses of many demonic beasts. It was obvious that many people from the Dragon Palace had died here before he came. The remaining survivors were all Ninth Heavenly Layer Kings and were only a step away from becoming Quasi-Saints. However, it was a pity that even though they had reason to look upon others with disdain, they still faced great pressure when facing a Quasi-Saint. The gap between a King and a Quasi-Saint was too great. With his keen senses, he could even sense that there were Quasi-Saints in the shadows who were still eyeing him covetously. There was also the one who had transcended the tribulation today. After transcending the tribulation, he had disappeared, but he was certain that he was near Lin City. ¡°Lin Mo, you have offended the Gongsun family and the Behemoth Clan. Both of these clans are your mortal enemies.¡± ¡°In addition, the Pixiu Clan, Zhu Yan Clan, Earth Dragon Race, Wind Dragon Race, all of these powerful clans also have people who are about to break through to the Quasi-Saint Stage.¡± ¡°At that time, even if you rely on the array formation, it will be difficult for you to resist. You will definitely die,¡± said the brawny man. Although he was arrogant, he had to admire Lin Mo for daring to provoke so many powerful races at once. If it was him, even if he had the strength, he would not have dared to be so arrogant¡­ ¡°President Lin, why are you in such a state? We are also on guard against you¡­¡± The remaining three people of Dragon Palace felt ashamed. They were worried that Lin Mo would play some dirty tricks on them. When they came to trade, not only one person had come. In fact, three masters had come¡­ Now that they were in danger, they had to rely on Lin Mo to save them. It was really shameful. ¡°I¡¯m the founder of the Molin Chamber of Commerce and I host auctions. Naturally, I have to be responsible to the end. Only with a good reputation can we be amicable and make money,¡± said Lin Mo with a smile. He didn¡¯t forget to try and win over the people of Dragon Palace. ¡°President Lin, you¡¯re very bold. We¡¯re impressed. If we can escape today, we¡¯ll definitely report the truth to the Seventh Princess. ¡± The three of them didn¡¯t waste any time. They approached Lin Mo with attack talismans in their hands, ready to fight this Quasi-Saint to the death at any time. ¡°Hehe, is this considered a group of weaklings? Although I want the Qilin and Kun Peng spells that are on you, I do not dare to practice them¡­¡± ¡°Although I, Luo Fei, am a Quasi-Saint, I am not qualified to fight against many top factions. I do not dare to touch this hot potato¡­¡± He shook his head helplessly. This was also one of the reasons why he had not dared to attack Lin Mo after breaking through to the Quasi-Saint stage. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why did you still dare to offend the Dragon Palace?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°It started five thousand years ago. I went to the Demon State to train, but I was injured by a Holy Blood Flood Dragon and almost died¡­¡± said Luo Fei. He had a huge grudge against the Holy Blood Dragon Clan. The most powerful force in the Northern Continent wasn¡¯t the Holy Blood Dragon Clan. Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded indifferently. It was understandable to seek revenge, but he also had reasons of protection. ¡°I have to take care of this matter today so if you want to make a move, please hurry up,¡± said Lin Mo with a sigh. Delaying time was not an option¡­ ¡°If you really want to intervene, I can capture you and take you to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. I think the Hidden Dragon Pavilion will not reject such a declaration of allegiance,¡± Luo Fei said coldly. He didn¡¯t need to make any guesses to know that Lin Mo had many secrets. He really didn¡¯t want to get involved. The consequences would be too great. ¡°Then will you open the space and I¡¯ll just leave on my own?¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He was already prepared to use the Level 9 Heaven-class Spatial Talisman. With these three people, they could escape a certain distance. Then, they could set up a spatial formation and escape to Blue Sea City. At that time, they would be safe. ¡°You want to escape with them? Even if you have blocked your sea of consciousness, I can still sense it. Don¡¯t underestimate a Quasi-Saint¡­¡± Luo Fei¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold as he slowly walked forward. The three people of Dragon Palace were on guard against a great enemy. A bloody battle was probably about to happen. They had no hope before, but now that Lin Mo had joined them, they felt that they had a chance to escape. ¡°President Lin, we have the Spatial Teleportation Talisman. As long as you can break through some space, we can take you away. ¡± Lin Mo heard a voice in his ear as the people from the Dragon Palace. This was his only hope of escaping. ¡°Are you discussing how to escape through transmitting messages?¡± Luo Fei sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about escaping. Use that attack talisman. That¡¯s your only hope of hurting me.¡± There was a hint of arrogance on his face, and it was clear that he didn¡¯t think highly of Lin Mo and the others at all. Seeing this, Lin Mo really wanted to go up to this guy and give him a big slap. He was simply too arrogant¡­ ¡°Since you are unwilling to retreat, the only thing I can do is capture you.¡± Luo Fei walked over, and a vast sea of spiritual qi erupted from his body. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll spread the news that you took the Kun Peng inheritance away from me?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. There was no way to delay any longer. A bloody battle was inevitable¡­ What he was worried about now was whether these three people from the Dragon Palace could survive. He could not let his efforts go to waste¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll block the front. You guys break through space and build a teleportation formation¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. Luo Fei was already impatient. He had to make a move. On the other side, Luo Fei there was a disdainful expression on his face. He stretched out the huge palm of his hand, as if he was crushing the void and grabbed at him. The armor on Lin Mo¡¯s body glowed. It was a Level 9 Heaven-class armor that he had obtained from a recent auction. He had not expected that it would be of some use today. At the same time, he also threw out a large number of magic weapons, all of which were not of low grade. ¡°B*stard, inferior,¡± said Luo Fei contemptuously. The gap between a Quasi-Saint and a King was not something that could be made up by a few magic weapons. With a bang, the giant hand came pressing down, and all the magic weapons under Lin Mo¡¯s control exploded. However, Lin Mo soon saw the difference between a Quasi-Saint and a King. The energy produced by the self-destruction of the magic weapon was sealed and suppressed by this large hand, making it difficult for it to cause any damage. ¡°He¡¯s only at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the King realm, yet he dares to act so rashly,¡± sneered Luo Fei as he sealed this world. He pointed out another finger and suppressed it. It could be seen that he had not used his full strength at all. With an easy move of a finger, it was as if the end of the world had arrived. As a Quasi-Saint, dealing with a few Kings was already an absolute suppression. It was natural that he felt contempt¡­ Chapter 773 - 773 Seeking Help from Duan Yue 773 Seeking Help from Duan Yue Lin Mo was filled with resignation. He knew he had no way to fight back against a Quasi-Saint, not even if he used the Eight Demonic Puppets. The difference between the two realms was like the heavens. It was too difficult to cross. The gap was too great. He withdrew the War Demon Spear because there was no need for it. This magic weapon was not a threat to the Saint. Unless he was also a Quasi-Saint, he had no chance at all. At a critical moment, he waved his hand and told the three people from Dragon Palace not to resist. He immediately put them into the system space. Thick spatial fluctuations spread. Luo Fei¡¯s attack missed, and Lin Mo and the others instantly disappeared. ¡°Where is this place?¡± The three masters of Dragon Palace were terrified and found it unbelievable. This was because they felt as if they were in another space. The unfamiliar environment made them panic. ¡°There is no need to be nervous. This is one of my martial arts techniques. It is only to protect you all¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice came from the void. He had fabricated a lie. After all, he could not let these people know that he had an Inner World. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Brother Lin to actually control the Law of Space¡­¡± The three of them were shocked. Including Fate and Yin and Yang, Lin Mo could be considered to have mastered three supreme Great Dao laws. With such terrifying talent, they were glad that they had a good relationship with Lin Mo. The three of them had already made up their minds to persuade the Seventh Princess to give the order to befriend the Molin Chamber of Commerce belonging to Lin Mo. The God Devouring Body of the human race controlled three Great Dao laws at the King Realm. Although he wasn¡¯t proficient in them, he was talented. ¡°Don¡¯t wander around. Trust me, I¡¯ll take you away.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s voice reverberated in the space. He himself had arrived at a place in the Inner World where the Fire Spirit Lake was located. At the bottom of the lake was a moon-white sword. Specks of silver light flickered. This was the Broken Moon Sword, the first Quasi-Immortal level magic weapon that Lin Mo had obtained. However, he could not use it at all. The minimum standard required to activate it was the Saint Realm. He was a full two major realms away. Forget about using it, he couldn¡¯t even move it. ¡°Duan Yue, I know you have a spirit. Although you can¡¯t speak, can you help me tide over this crisis?¡± Lin Mo said bluntly. If he wanted to break through the Quasi-Saint¡¯s blockade, he had to use the Broken Moon Sword. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± What he got in response was a burst of white light, but that was all. He tried to pull out the sword, but it was useless. He could not move it at all. ¡°I still have other methods in my hands. However, it is not worth it to waste them here. I need your help¡­¡± continued Lin Mo, stating his own conditions, ¡°You should be able to see my talent. I can promise you that I won¡¯t change my magic weapon in the future and I will continue to refine you. ¡°I¡¯ll refine you into a Martial Monarch Realm instrument. I¡¯ll let you consume all the precious materials I find.¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo raised his hand and summoned a large batch of precious refining materials. Without exception, these were all Level 5 Heaven-class and above, which was extremely rare. Such a collection was comparable to some first-class forces guarded by Great Saints. ¡°I can give you all of these. As long as you let me use them, there will be more in the future.¡± Initially, Lin Mo had planned to sell them or devour them directly to increase his cultivation. However, the Quasi-Immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman was too precious and he didn¡¯t want to use it easily. The Heaven-class Level 9 spatial talisman given by the system could only be used after Luo Fei¡¯s sealed space was broken. ¡°Om¡­¡± This time, Lin Mo finally nodded in satisfaction. The materials he had sent over had all been devoured by the Broken Moon Sword. At the same time, the sword flew up and hovered in front of Lin Mo. The hilt of the sword vibrated slightly, indicating that Lin Mo should grab it. ¡°Thank you, I will keep my word.¡± Without hesitation, Lin Mo raised his hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword. In an instant, a terrifying suction force came over. The reason why the Broken Moon Sword needed to be activated by a Saint was firstly because it needed to have the strength to make the Broken Moon Sword obey. Secondly, he needed to provide them with a massive amount of earth and heaven qi. If the qi was insufficient, he would probably be sucked dry by the Broken Moon Sword if he forcefully activated it. Even though he had the God Devouring Body and the Abyssal Devouring Body, he couldn¡¯t provide such a large amount of earth and heaven energy. Fortunately, the white light on the Broken Moon Sword dimmed. There were some special runes flickering on it. The sharp sword qi weakened, and the power of the Broken Moon Sword was suppressed. The sword spirit cooperated and suppressed itself so that it wouldn¡¯t suck Lin Mo dry of his spiritual qi. ¡°What a terrifying sword aura¡­¡± Even so, Lin Mo still felt his heart palpitate. This sword qi was extremely terrifying. It was not something that he would be able to come into contact with at his realm. At the same time, outside of the Inner World, Luo Fei was somewhat puzzled. He didn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo and the others, who had been here just a moment ago, had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Although he could feel the power of space, it was too strong. It evenignored his spatial seal¡­ ¡°Crack!¡± Behind Luo Fei, a crack appeared in the space, and a terrifying sword light slashed out from it. Luo Fei instantly sensed danger and disappeared from where he was. After teleporting away, his pupils constricted. He had truly sensed a danger that could endanger his life just now¡­ Although he had dodged in time, the dazzling sword light was as fast as lightning and managed to scratch him, causing blood to flow out. This made him furious and extremely horrified. It was too unbelievable. It was simply unimaginable. He was a Quasi-Saint, and there was a world of difference between him and Lin Mo. In the end, he had been ambushed by Lin Mo and even injured¡­ ¡°You junior¡­¡± Luo Fei¡¯s eyes were spitting fire as he stared at the moon-white sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. Lin Mo used the Abyssal Devouring and swallowed a Heaven-class Level 5 divine pill to recover. The Broken Moon Sword¡¯s attack power was truly terrifying, which made him happy. One had to know that when he faced Luo Fei earlier, he had no choice but to hide in the Inner World. However, this consumption was also very terrifying. The devouring of spiritual qi before and the slash he had just made earlier had used up about 30% of his spiritual qi. A hint of greed appeared in Luo Fei¡¯s eyes as he recognized the Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon. He formed a seal with both hands, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand at the same time. Its grade was not inferior to Lin Mo¡¯s War Demon Spear. He didn¡¯t dare to be careless in the face of a Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon. He wanted to suppress Lin Mo with his powerful strength. ¡°Junior, if you give me this magic weapon, I can let you live,¡± he shouted. ¡°Put your head down. It¡¯s yours truly who wants your life now,¡± Lin Mo cursed. He had already taken out his Broken Moon Sword. No matter what, he had to at least make this guy lose an arm or even his life¡­ The Broken Moon Sword shone again, and the sword light around Lin Mo¡¯s body was dazzling. Spiritual qi surged, and a faint sword qi that soared into the sky spread. ¡°How is that possible?¡± This time, not only Luo Fei, but even the Quasi-Saint in the dark was shocked. Some people even cried out in shock, shouting that it was impossible. How could a King possess a Quasi-Immortal class magic weapon? More importantly, Lin Mo was able to activate it. This was what they could not accept. Even a Quasi-Saint would not be able to withstand such a terrifying consumption. It was also extremely difficult to obtain the artifact spirit¡¯s approval. Even some Saints might not be able to subdue the artifact¡¯s spirit. Judging from the current situation, Lin Mo had obviously received recognition, and it was a high level of recognition. Chapter 774 - 774 Spatial Storm 774 Spatial Storm The spirit of the artifact took the initiative to reduce the power of the sword and even helped Lin Mo bear a portion of the consumption. That was why Lin Mo was able to use the God Devouring Body to continuously devour the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, while swallowing divine pills so the sword was barely used. ¡°Boom!¡± The sword split open the sky, and the space that Luo Fei had sealed was cut open just like that. Facing the Quasi-Saint¡¯s attack, Lin Mo gently waved the Broken Moon Sword to defeat him while counterattacking at the same time. However, Luo Fei was a Quasi-Saint, so he had reacted quickly. He dodged the sword light in a few flashes and was not injured. ¡°Tsk, Quasi-Saint? Where¡¯s that arrogance from earlier?¡± Lin Mo laughed mockingly and flew toward the space that had been split open. He didn¡¯t have the strength to fight against a Quasi-Saint yet. He would probably have to run away after a while. ¡°B*stard, it won¡¯t be that easy for you to leave,¡± Luo Fei said coldly. He used his martial arts technique to forcefully close the space again. Now, he was determined to deal with Lin Mo. No matter what, he had to get this immortal sword before anyone else. Seeing this, Lin Mo was forced to raise his sword and attack again. He slashed out a dazzling sword aura and tried to split the space again. ¡°Clang!¡± Suddenly, a sword hum was heard, and the Broken Moon Sword burst out with dazzling light. The mountains collapsed, the space shattered, and the martial arts technique that Luo Fei used was instantly destroyed. The entire spatial seal was shattered, and a terrifying aura spread out. Even the people in Lin City, who were far away, could feel it. At the moment of the battle, Lin Mo had the Broken Moon Sword drain all of its spiritual qi in one go and slash out a world-shocking sword attack. One had to know that the power of a Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon was not so easily blocked. In addition, Luo Fei had not expected Lin Mo¡¯s attack to be so thorough and terrifying. Every ray of sword light was enough to destroy mountains and rivers. Such a dense sword light exploded in an instant but he withstood all these attacks. Luo Fei had thought that he had been careful enough and that the martial arts technique that he had used was strong enough to resist the Broken Moon Sword¡¯s attack. Thinking that Lin Mo could not activate it more than a few times, Luo Fei had once again suffered a huge loss because he had underestimated the enemy. The sword qi that broke out from the Broken Moon Sword was more powerful than before. It caused a disturbance in the void. At this moment, even if Lin Mo wanted to activate the spatial talisman, it would be useless at this point. ¡°Swoosh!¡± After swallowing a divine pill, Lin Mo circulated the Soul-Devouring Art. After just a few breaths, spiritual qi appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s body again. During this period of time, spiritual qi filled his body, causing his meridians to crack. He felt intense pain, and his powerful body almost couldn¡¯t withstand it. He slashed out again. The sword light flickered and slashed at Luo Fei¡¯s body. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Luo Fei screamed as several bloody wounds appeared on his body. Lin Mo¡¯s shocking sword attack had destroyed all of his defenses and injured him. Now that he was attacked again, the intense pain made him scream. At this moment, his face was filled with anger. He was a Quasi-Saint, yet he had ended up in such a sorry state in front of a junior. Moreover, there were other Quasi-Saints lurking in the dark. If he was accidentally injured, he would definitely end up in a miserable state. Bright red blood dripped down, and in an instant, the mountains and rivers turned. The aura of life spread, and it was green and full of vitality. This was a Quasi-Saint, transcending above all else. Even ordinary blood contained a rich life force. A single drop could make the vegetation on a mountain grow and even nourish spiritual herbs¡­ At this moment, Luo Fei¡¯s face was gloomy. He stared at Lin Mo with bloodshot eyes, and his killing intent continued to grow. At this moment, he didn¡¯t care about anything else. All he wanted was to kill Lin Mo to vent the hatred in his heart. He couldn¡¯t understand how Lin Mo could instantly activate the immortal sword and unleash such terrifying power. Could it be that the sword spirit of this immortal sword had been severely injured and could not control itself at all, which was why Lin Mo could use it? ¡°That¡¯s great. Is this a great fortune that has been prepared for me?¡± Luo Fei smiled brightly. However, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were filled with malevolence. That twisted smile sent chills down his spine. ¡°I¡¯ve changed my mind. I¡¯m going to possess your body. It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m being hunted down by the forces of the Northern Continent.¡± The smile on Luo Fei¡¯s face deepened. The Qilin¡¯s spell technique, the Kun Peng¡¯s spell technique, and the human¡¯s supreme body, the God Devouring Body. With this immortal sword, he would be able to dominate the entire ancient battlefield. He stretched out his palm, and his body was covered in colorful lights. His injuries were instantly healed. The injuries caused by Lin Mo using all his spiritual qi were nothing in front of a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Brat, hand over your body and your memories,¡± he said coldly. ¡°Clang!¡± What he got in response was a moon-white longsword. The sword light slashed down and stirred the void again. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± At the same time, a terrifying fluctuation gradually spread in the void. At some point, there were countless space fragments in this place. They fused with each other and formed a spatial storm in the void. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Luo Fei was shocked. He could feel a very terrifying power in the spatial storm. This power was too strong. The Quasi-Saint hiding in the dark had no choice but to show himself and leave in a hurry. ¡°The influence of fate?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. The appearance of the spatial storm was undoubtedly a great help to him. This was because the spatial storm this time could even devour a Quasi-Saint¡­ In the distance, Luo Fei held a long sword in his hand and threw it fiercely at Lin Mo. That was his magic weapon, and Divine Chains of Order were wrapped around it. He wanted to imprison Lin Mo and capture him. However, a spatial storm soon arrived. Countless spatial fragments spread and instantly destroyed the magic weapon. ¡°What¡­¡± Luo Fei was shocked, and all the hair on his body stood on end. He felt fear from the depths of his heart. Why would such a terrifying spatial storm appear? Even as a Quasi-Saint, he felt that he was in danger of dying. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A miserable scream rang out as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was injured again by the countless space fragments. Not only that, Lin Mo was also attacking the spatial storm from afar. This further detonated the place, and the spatial fragments became even more violent. Luo Fei was attacked again and was heavily injured. Half of his body was shattered and cut by the spatial fragments. ¡°Oh, Senior Luo is so miserable. Where is your Quasi-Saint strength? Fight back and attack with me,¡± Lin Mo taunted from afar. As he spoke, he slashed out with his sword again. Only then did he begin to devour divine pills to make up for his own consumption. ¡°How are you still alright?¡± Luo Fei¡¯s expression was ugly. He was in such a sorry state, yet Lin Mo was not affected at all. Lin Mo had even mocked him. It was too infuriating. ¡°You must die today. No one can save your life the moment you reveal your immortal sword,¡± said Luo Fei furiously as he stared at Lin Mo. However, he had no choice but to retreat. The spatial storm had grown stronger. If he did not leave now, he would really die. ¡°Tsk, I¡¯m right here. If you want to kill me, come at me,¡± said Lin Mo as he laughed out loud. He held the immortal sword in his hand and was fearless. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± The area where the space was shattered expanded, and the earth and heaven energy couldn¡¯t heal it. The space storm grew stronger again. He felt like he was walking out of the void. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Even with Lin Mo¡¯s luck, after a few attacks, the spatial fragments were so dense that they could not be dodged. Kun Peng Wings appeared on his back, but they were quickly crushed by the storm¡­ Just like Luo Fei, if he continued to stay, he would probably die inside. Even the gods would not be able to save him¡­ Chapter 775 - 775 Pursuit, Encircling and Suppressing 775 Pursuit, Encircling and Suppressing ¡°B*stard, you¡¯re dead for sure. Don¡¯t even think about going back to Lin City. There will be people blocking your way, ¡± said Luo Fei with a gloomy face. He really did not dare to stay any longer. He turned around and left. After flying out of the range of the spatial storm, he tore through the void and left. Seeing this, Lin Mo didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He left the spatial storm, took out a Level 9 Heaven-class spatial talisman, and left. Before his figure disappeared, the spatial storm was gradually weakening. Fate was a mysterious power that was hard to explain. In addition, many cultivators in Lin City saw this scene. Some people used great divine powers to see everything that happened from afar. After sending the three people of the Dragon Palace to Blue Sea City, Lin Mo successfully completed his task. The system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have obtained five million supreme-grade spiritual stones. You can choose to keep them or inject them into the Inner World. ] ¡®Inject it into the inner world,¡¯ thought Lin Mo. [ The injection is successful. Reward: Quasi-Immortal-level Realm-Breaking Talisman. It¡¯s capable of breaking through the void and carry out short-distance teleportation. After the talisman¡¯s qi is exhausted, it can be replenished with supreme-grade spiritual stones. ] This was equivalent to giving him a World Piercing Talisman that he could use indefinitely¡­ Such a supreme treasure was extremely precious, which made Lin Mo very happy. He had another life-saving trump card. However, what he did not expect was that this Realm-Breaking Talisman would quickly take effect¡­ After staying in the Blue Sea City for a few days, he left in a hurry. Then, he was attacked by four Saints-to-be. They wanted to capture him, devour his soul with evil techniques, and possess him directly. The Broken Moon Sword appeared once again, and many living beings witnessed the battle. At the same time, the news that Lin Mo controlled a small world had also been exposed. In the face of encirclement, the only thing he could do was use this trump card¡­ In the end, he used the Broken Moon Sword to break through space and escape with the Realm-Breaking Talisman while being surrounded by four Quasi-Saints. The ancient battlefield was about to undergo a huge change. Lin Mo held the immortal sword and escaped from the encirclement of a group of Quasi-Saints. This scene was too shocking. ¡°An immortal sword that can be controlled by a King might change the outcome of the final battle¡­¡± whispered someone as he began to consider this. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Lin Mo has an immortal sword and a Realm-Breaking Talisman. Even a Quasi-Saint can¡¯t do anything to him. If we go, we¡¯ll be courting death. ¡± The news spread very quickly and shocked the rest of the world. More than a dozen Quasi-Saints who were hiding were shocked. Among them were two Quasi-Saints from the Gongsun family. They had been in seclusion since they entered the city. When they broke through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, they found out that their young master had already been killed¡­ Soon after, the Quasi-Saints from the Behemoth Clan also came out of seclusion. There were three Quasi-Saints who could sweep through everything. They had thought that Lin Mo would return to Lin City and use the array formation to protect himself, so they had gone to Lin City immediately. Fortunately, the Qilin was controlling the array formation and desperately tried to stop them. In addition, the four of them were worried that they would be replaced, so they did not dare to act rashly and merely surrounded them. Otherwise, the entire city would be in trouble. In Lin City, many living beings were also discussing. Lin Mo¡¯s various deeds made them feel that it was very mysterious. Even a Quasi-Saint had been defeated. Who else could stop Lin Mo on this battlefield? ¡°This is ridiculous. That¡¯s a Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon. The consumption of qi is terrifying. Why is the artifact spirit under his control¡­¡± ¡°Rumor has it that he is extremely talented and has been recognized by the artifact spirit, which helped him share the burden of his consumption of qi. ¡± The entire battlefield shook. Everyone wanted to get their hands on that immortal sword, but they were not strong enough¡­ ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Lin Mo can¡¯t even protect himself now. There are many unfamiliar Quasi-Saints chasing after him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Rumor has it that he was severely injured outside Blue Sea City three days ago and managed to escape.¡± ¡°There is actually such news¡­¡± The ancient battlefield was in complete chaos. Quasi-Saint Luo Fei had become famous for being hunted down by the masters of the Dragon Palace. Everyone was talking about him after tea. All of them knew that he had been injured by Lin Mo and had been completely humiliated. Of course, Lin Mo wasn¡¯t having a good time either, because he had exposed all his trump cards in the battle outside Blue Sea City. The Inner World was something that a Saint would covet, not to mention that Lin Mo¡¯s system space was at the Emperor level¡­ In addition, there was also the Qilin spell technique that controlled fate and could change his own fate, allowing him to escape by luck at a critical moment. There were even rumors that as long as one cultivated the Qilin¡¯s spell technique, they could defy the heavens and change their fate. After drinking the Qilin¡¯s blood, their talent would reach the level of an ancient divine beast¡­ There were many different opinions. Although some of them were rumors, some people were willing to believe them. Lin City was surrounded by many Quasi-Saints. In just ten days, the number of Quasi-Saints had increased from four to eight. This time, Qilin was instantly put into a passive position. In the most tragic battle, she had been severely injured and the Three Gods Sword Formation had almost collapsed. Of course, the reason many Quasi-Saints didn¡¯t dare to attack in vain was because some Quasi-Saints had almost died in that battle. Sword qi rushed into the sky, and the sun and moon lost their light. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Outside a remote city, a huge Dragon Sparrow fell to the ground, its blood flowing all over the ground. Lin Mo stood on top of the Dragon Sparrow¡¯s head with the Broken Moon Sword in his hand. He was covered in blood as he took the Dragon Sparrow¡¯s Inner Core out and carefully put it away. This place was very remote, and not many masters were willing to stay here. He had been chased by a Quasi-Saint and had fled all the way here. He had originally wanted to go inside and buy some cultivation resources. Who would have thought that there was a Dragon Sparrow hidden here? It was infinitely close to the Quasi-Saint realm and had powerful combat strength. In order to avoid any accidents, Lin Mo used the Broken Moon Sword to kill the other party while holding back his injuries. This was the only way to avoid being detected by the Quasi-Saint. He took out his Dao fire and burned the Dragon Sparrow¡¯s body to extract its blood essence. Lin Mo walked into the city and took out some divine medicines and pills under the respectful gazes of many living beings. ¡°Is there anyone who is interested in these things? You may use a divine medicine to bid¡­¡± he said. As he said that, he spat out another mouthful of blood. Having faced the Dragon Sparrow with his heavily injured body, his injuries had worsened. It had been a month since he left Blue Sea City. The reason he had left was because he was worried about Qilin and he had also seen something strange in the eyes of the Saint-to-be from the Dragon Palace. He had cultivated the Eye of Martial Arts and could see a hint of greed in the other party¡¯s eyes. For this reason, the only thing he could do was leave. Unfortunately, he had met many Quasi-Saints as soon as he left. He suspected that one of them was the one from the Dragon Palace. However, he did not have any evidence. Moreover, Tang Ru was already in seclusion, so he could not explain everything¡­ Along the way, he had experienced many bloody battles, narrowly escaping death, and finally made it through with great difficulty. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the inner core of the Dragon Sparrow at the peak of the King¡¯s Realm. Its grade is Heaven-class Level 8. ] [ Successfully triggered 5,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Quasi-Saint Dragon Sparrow Inner Core. It is a Level 9 Heaven-class. ] In the Inner World, a round pearl the size of an eyeball appeared. Within the pearl, one could vaguely see a lifelike Dragon Sparrow. Without hesitating, Lin Mo immediately took it out and swallowed it. ¡°Crack¡­ Crack¡­¡± A warm current spread throughout his body, and a rich energy pervaded his limbs and bones causing his injuries to rapidly recover. Chapter 776 - 776 Lin Citys Crisis 776 Lin City¡¯s Crisis Unfortunately, he didn¡¯t have the time to cultivate and digest the energy patiently. He could only allow the God Devouring Body to devour it. As a result, he wasn¡¯t able to recover from the injuries he received in Blue Sea City. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Dragon Sparrow Blood Essence. It is a Level 7 Heaven-class. ] [ Successfully triggered 10,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Dragon Sparrow Blood Essence which is a Heaven-class Level 9. ] This was a pleasant surprise. A large lump of Dragon Sparrow Blood Essence appeared in the Inner World. It was extremely dense. It was one of the best treasures among the Heaven-class Level 9 treasures. ¡°Thank you for your support. Goodbye, everyone.¡± Lin Mo clasped his fists to the crowd and turned to leave. In just an hour, a strong spatial fluctuation spread in the sky above the city. The sky was torn apart, and everyone was shocked. Two Quasi-Saints followed the aura and chased after him. After sensing it for a moment, Lin Mo tore through the air again, leaving behind a shocked crowd. ¡°Ugh, they have caught up¡­¡± Lin Mo, who was fleeing in the wilderness, suddenly felt his heart palpitate. He looked back and sighed¡­ After an hour, he cultivated the Dragon Sparrow Inner Core and drank the Dragon Sparrow Blood Essence. The energy in his body became abundant once again, and his injuries would heal soon. However, all of this was useless. Facing a Quasi-Saint, even if he was at his peak, he would not be able to withstand a single move¡­ After resting for a while, he sensed that a Quasi-Saint was chasing after him, so he took out the Realm-Breaking Talisman. A silver-white light flashed. As the space moved, Lin Mo disappeared into it. In the next moment, the entire world trembled. A violent explosion sounded out as the ground collapsed. Hundreds of mountains exploded and boulders tumbled. In this strange phenomenon, a Dragon Sparrow drilled out from within and stared in all directions with terrifyingly dark eyes. It was a master of the Dragon Sparrow Clan, and the clan had coveted Lin Mo for a long time. They had arranged for their clansmen to surround him in various cities. ¡°A clansman has been killed and it was only one step away from breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Stage¡­¡± It was furious as it sensed the Dragon Sparrow¡¯s Blood Essence in the space. Another three days passed. Lin Mo was covered in blood as he stood in the highest hall of a city. This was the Dragon Sparrow Clan¡¯s stronghold. The Quasi-Saint of the Dragon Sparrow Clan had chased after him, and he had come here after escaping from it. ¡°I have so many Dragon Sparrow Inner Cores here. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to buy them?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s face was stained with blood with a terrifying smile on his face. This sent chills down the spines of many living beings. A dozen powerful Dragon Sparrows had been killed by Lin Mo just like that. In front of all the living beings, he dug out the inner cores and extracted the blood essence. ¡°Forget it. Since no one is bidding, let¡¯s just forget it¡­¡± Lin Mo put away the Dragon Sparrow Inner Core and Blood Essence. He couldn¡¯t stay in one place for too long. If he did, it would be troublesome if he found himself blocked by a Quasi-Saint. With just a thought, he teleported into the Inner World. He formed a seal with both hands and disappeared again. In an unknown valley outside the city, Lin Mo¡¯s figure appeared. He spread his Kun Peng Wings and quickly left the place. [ The host has successfully organized an auction. As all the auction items were unsold, the system will compensate you. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.] With 500,000 top-grade spirit stones in hand, he did not inject them into his inner world this time. After escaping for such a long time, the qi of the Realm-Breaking Talisman in his hand was quickly consumed. Now that he had this batch of top-grade spirit stones, he could continue his escape. The news quickly spread, shocking the rest of the world. There was only one Dragon Sparrow left in the ancient battlefield, and that was the Quasi-Saint. It was extremely furious and swore to find Lin Mo and tear him into pieces. During these few days, the entire battlefield was in an uproar. Lin Mo had recovered from his injuries and had gained some enlightenment while being chased. With the help of cultivation resources, he had broken through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the King Realm. Apart from that, he had also found the strongholds of many forces in seven days with the Broken Moon Sword in his hand. This included the Hidden Dragon Pavilion in Sky Dragon City. Lin Mo had descended, slaughtered more than a dozen masters of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, snatched away a large number of divine medicines, and left in a carefree manner. It had not only been the Hidden Dragon Pavilion that had been his target, but also the Armored Rhinoceros Clan, the Zhu Yan Clan, the Yazi Clan, the Pixiu Clan, the Earth Dragon Clan, the Wind Dragon Clan, and many other powerful clans. All the Quasi-Saints who had participated in the siege had been killed by Lin Mo. This was a declaration of war and a response. Lin Mo was using his strength to tell everyone what the price was for offending him. ¡°Feng Xuan from the Wind Dragon Clan and Gu You from the Earth Dragon Clan have found their retreat grounds¡­¡± A piece of news spread that Lin Mo had found the masters of these two clans and killed them immediately. He dug out their inner cores and cultivated their blood essence. If it wasn¡¯t for the jade talisman that had saved their lives, the future of these two clans would be gone¡­ Lin Mo had been the topic of discussion for two months now. Whenever a new topic was about to replace him, he would always do something that would shock the world. Many people sighed in admiration. As a rogue cultivator, he dared to offend so many factions. Just this boldness alone was not something they could compare to. ¡°Lin Mo, where are you? Come out obediently and accept your death,¡± roared the Quasi-Saint of the Dragon Sparrow Clan. ¡°We¡¯re going to Lin City next. A Qilin alone can¡¯t stop us,¡± roared the Earth Dragon Clan¡¯s Quasi-Saint at the sky. Many of its clansmen had already died. If it had not arrived in time, it would have ended up like the Dragon Sparrow Clan, with only one Quasi-Saint left¡­ ¡°Hold your head high¡­¡± A Wind Dragon made an appearance and roared. It had also arrived and was heading to Lin City to force Lin Mo to appear¡­ ¡°We¡¯re willing to help as well. Lin Mo has offended the public and deserves to be killed! ¡± Two powerful humans joined the team and went to Lin City together. In addition, there was an master who was a rogue cultivator recently recruited by the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. The group of people moved forward in a mighty manner, their momentum shaking the sky. Wherever they passed, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, and the sun and moon lost their light. For the past two months, Lin City had been empty, especially after this piece of news had spread. The remaining batch of people had also left. The only ones left were the people from the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Some of the hundred people that Lin Mo had saved in the past had also announced their withdrawal from the Quasi-Saint. ¡°There are still thirty-seven people left. I¡¯ve decided to focus on nurturing them. Very good! ¡± In the shadows, Lin Mo clenched his fists and nodded in satisfaction. A friend in need is a friend indeed. From today onwards, he would focus on nurturing these thirty-seven people¡­ With the help of the Realm-Breaking Talisman, he tailed these Quasi-Saints and relied on the Heaven-Defying Dao Law of Fate of the Qilin¡¯s spell technique to avoid detection. ¡°People of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, I¡¯ll give you one last chance. Follow us in dealing with the Qilin and I¡¯ll give you all kinds of treasures after. ¡± The small group of Quasi-Saints gave an ultimatum in an attempt to destroy the formation from the inside. What they received in response was the Three Gods Sword Formation that was instantly activated. The Qilin carried the formation flag on her back and held the Chaos Bell, a Heaven-grade Level 9 magic weapon. She stood in midair with a solemn expression. Behind her were Zhao Tianyu, Mao Zhu, and the others. They had received many favors from Lin Mo, so now they were resolved to accompany Qilin. Not only that, even if he was killed and they left the ancient battlefield, their choice would still be the same on the outside. ¡°Miss Fang Luo, will our formation really work?¡± Mao Zhu said worriedly. At this moment, all of them were holding formation flags. Chapter 777 - 777 Support 777 Support Their spiritual qi constantly gushed out and poured into the Qilin¡¯s body through the array formation. Even with her extremely powerful body, she felt a sharp pain in her skin. Of course, the effect of this was obvious. The Qilin¡¯s realm was forcefully raised to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Faced with the siege, this was the only method they could use to counterattack, as they pinned all their hopes on the Qilin. ¡°Fang Luo, get ready. Divide the formation core into two parts¡­¡± Suddenly, while the Qilin was hovering in the air, she seemed to sense something and a smile appeared on her face. The power of the Dao Law of Fate might not be known in this world, but on the ancient battlefield, only she and Lin Mo were capable of controlling it. ¡°Alright.¡± As if they had guessed something, Fang Luo and the other formation masters were overjoyed and hurriedly began to change the array formation¡¯s route. Another formation flag appeared. After taking away a portion of the power, the Qilin realm fell back to the First Heavenly of the Quasi-Saint Realm. She stretched out her hand, took the formation flag, and threw it fiercely as she looked into the distance. At the same time, she also took the initiative to attack with the Chaos Bell in her hand. For some reason, after sensing Lin Mo¡¯s arrival, the pressure on her decreased drastically. She saw hope and subconsciously felt that this was no longer a hopeless situation¡­ ¡°Resist stubbornly¡­¡± Being faced with the formation flags, one of the Quasi-Saints was about to raise his hand to destroy them in disdain. However, in front of him, the space fluctuated. The Realm-Breaking Talisman tore open a crack, and a large hand grabbed the formation flag. ¡°Ruthless!¡± A cry spread out, and a powerful fluctuation spread out. In an instant, the wings spread out, and the Quasi-Saint who had started to attack was injured by the wings. Blood was left behind, and a large amount of spiritual qi was released. ¡°It¡¯s Lin Mo¡­¡± When they saw who it was, many living beings were shocked. Lin Mo had truly come, even though he was facing more than ten Quasi-Saints¡­ ¡°Brother Lin Mo¡­¡± Not far away, the Qilin was engaged in a great battle with another person. Two formation eyes of the Three Gods Sword Formation had been activated. Both of them had the combat strength of the First Heavenly Layer of the Saint-to-be Realm. In addition to that, Lin Mo also held the Broken Moon Sword which he swung lightly. The Quasi-Saint had not had the time to withdraw the palm of his hand. The sword qi swept across, and all of the space within a hundred miles was shattered. ¡°Ah¡­¡± An elder cried out in pain. His palm had been cut off and had exploded along with a large amount of sword qi. ¡°Junior¡­¡± The old man roared and retreated rapidly. In the next moment, his shattered palm automatically healed. The blood flowed back in and his palm healed as if he had never been injured. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and seize the immortal sword.¡± The two human Quasi-Saints from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion opened their mouths and attacked Lin Mo¡¯s body while avoiding the sword. Fortunately, Lin Mo was able to control the Kun Peng speed and dodge quickly. With his Quasi-Saint combat strength, he wasn¡¯t afraid of these people, even if he was surrounded. ¡°A total of thirteen Quasi-Saints¡­¡± Tens of thousands of miles away, many creatures were watching the battle through various observation techniques. The Qilin was fighting three people alone, but she was not at a disadvantage. She even had the support of the array formation, and her spiritual qi was endless. As for Lin Mo, he was even more terrifying. He held the Broken Moon Sword and faced the siege of the ten pre-saints calmly. The Kun Peng spread its wings as he carried the formation flags on its back. It protected itself with the War Demon Spear and the Broken Moon Sword. ¡°He is ultimately not a true Quasi-Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed as he tore apart the Quasi-Saint¡¯s Behemoth body. Without the means of a Quasi-Saint, he could only watch as the Behemoth recovered. At this level, it was really difficult to kill that person. His self-healing ability was extremely terrifying. Moreover, the cultivation techniques these people cultivated were also very powerful, and the spiritual qi in their bodies was endless. On the other hand, both he and the Qilin were in a rather miserable state. Behind them, the thirty-seven members of the Molin Chamber of Commerce were continuously cultivating divine pills and spiritual stones. It was just to ensure a smoother operation of the formation and provide power to Lin Mo and the other two. ¡°Junior, this is all¡­¡± The Quasi-Saint master of the Gongsun family sneered and performed his martial arts technique. The other Quasi-Saints also attacked together, sealing off Lin Mo¡¯s surroundings. They would rather miss their attacks than spread out and seal off all the places where Lin Mo could hide. Their goal was to force Lin Mo to fight them head-on. Even though they would be injured by Lin Mo if they relied on the Broken Moon Sword, as long as they could protect their souls and qi center, they would be able to survive. Relying on the terrifying regeneration ability of a Quasi-Saint, they planned to exhaust Lin Mo until his death¡­ Although it was not a glorious thing to do, it was the safest way. After all, none of them wanted to be replaced by Lin Mo. As they had entered the ancient battlefield by severing their cultivation realms, they did not have a life-saving trump card like a jade talisman. Once they died, they would really die. No one wanted to be the one to die. ¡°Clang!¡± Moon-white sword qi spread out. Lin Mo leaped and an extremely terrifying sword qi erupted. The Behemoth Clan¡¯s Quasi-Saint¡¯s expression changed. He hadn¡¯t expected Lin Mo to target him. ¡°Are you trying to court death?¡± He sneered and a layer of golden armor appeared on his body. At the same time, a map of the Milky Way appeared behind Lin Mo, with a guide of the stars in the sky. In the end, the meteorites fell one after another towards Lin Mo. This group of Quasi-Saints found an opportunity to attack when Lin Mo was attacking the Behemoth Beast with all his might. Although he had the battle strength of a Quasi-Saint, his body and soul were still at the King Realm. Even a King at its peak level wouldn¡¯t dare to say that he could withstand a Quasi-Saint¡¯s attack. He had no choice but to turn around and defend himself, using the soaring sword qi to shatter the diagram of the Milky Way. But soon, the sword qi around him was bombarded because there were too many enemies. His body was affected and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. Although he had injured several Quasi-Saints with the Broken Moon Sword, he would definitely die if this continued¡­ ¡°Everyone, aren¡¯t you going a little too far by doing this?¡± Suddenly, a few people flew over from afar. Two of them were at the level of a Quasi-Saint, and the aura that they emitted was terrifying. ¡°People of the Mu Clan of the Bamboo State, are you going to get involved in this muddy water as well?¡± Someone said in a deep voice. There were too many people. Even if he cultivated all of the blood essence in the Qilin¡¯s body, it would still not be enough to share¡­ ¡°Elders, I¡¯m in trouble¡­¡± Between the two Saint-to-be stood a woman in green. She smiled and ordered the two Saints-to-be to attack. ¡°Yes, Miss!¡± Another two Quasi-Saints joined the battle. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, their target was not Lin Mo¡­ The two Quasi-Saints of the Gongsun family were attacked, and Lin Mo took the opportunity to attack them with the Broken Moon Sword. The two of them were instantly injured and retreated. The expressions on the faces of the rest of the people also changed drastically. They had not expected such a situation to happen when Lin Mo was about to die from exhaustion. ¡°What does the Mu Clan mean by this? Are they planning to become enemies with all living beings in the world?¡± The Quasi-Saint of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion questioned. When this hat was put on, some living beings immediately sighed. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re being too serious. Although the Hidden Dragon Pavilion claims to be the strongest force in the Northern Continent, you can¡¯t command all living beings in the world.¡± ¡°Moreover, those few clans and sects do not acknowledge the strongest faction that you claim to be¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu smiled faintly and walked lightly to the sky above Lin City. She looked at Fang Luo and said, ¡°May I control the third formation flag?¡± She wanted to help Lin Mo and share the burden of the three Quasi-Saints¡­ Chapter 778 - 778 The Utterly Disorganized Army 778 The Utterly Disorganized Army ¡°I am very surprised that you were able to come¡­¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. This was really unexpected. He had already been prepared to retreat. He had planned to put all the merchants into the small world and give up on Lin City. As long as there was life, there was still hope! In the end, before he could retreat, Mu Yuzhu had brought people to help, which he was very grateful for. ¡°System, did you see that? You have poor judgment. The people from the Dragon Palace are not worth roping in¡­¡± Secretly, he despised the system. Wasn¡¯t the reason why he was being besieged because of the system¡¯s mission? In the end, the Quasi-Saints of Dragon Palace had become greedy. Perhaps this was not Tang Ru¡¯s idea, but the world was unpredictable, and she just happened currently to be in seclusion. [ Detected: Abnormal system mission judgment. New mission issued. ] [ Defeat the invading enemy and invite him to be a guest elder of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. ] [ Mission completion reward: 5,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, Water Dao Immortal Pill, Level 9 Heaven Connecting Divine Lotus, water attribute.] As if it had heard Lin Mo¡¯s complaints, the system actually issued another mission. This time, the mission was a very reliable one. He and Mu Yuzhu were already considered comrades and had fought side by side many times. This time, the other party was even offering him help, which meant that he owed her a huge favor¡­ ¡°This is not a bad mission.¡± Lin Mo was quite satisfied. At the same time, Fang Luo also condensed the third formation flag and handed it over to Mu Yuzhu. She shared the burden of fighting three Quasi-Saints, so she wasn¡¯t too aggressive and the battle wasn¡¯t too intense. It was very difficult for the other party to break through her blockade. Her goal was just to stall for time so that Lin Mo would be able to lead the battle¡­ ¡°It¡¯s time for all of you to be slaughtered!¡± He laughed loudly, and a moon-white radiance burst out of the Broken Moon Sword. The sword light descended from the sky. Although it was one against five, the battle was one-sided. All of these five Quasi-Saints belonged to different camps. Although they had joined forces, they still didn¡¯t trust each other. Now that there were only five people left, it was impossible for them to suppress Lin Mo easily. After exchanging a dozen moves, Lin Mo tore the Behemoth Beast¡¯s body apart again, and the immortal sword pierced through its heart. This time, Lin Mo would not give the other party a chance to heal. Because there were too few people, none of the remaining four Quasi-Saints wanted to receive Lin Mo¡¯s sword light. Seeing this, the Behemoth¡¯s head let out an angry roar. The terrifying sound wave shook and shattered a lot of the sword qi, but there was still a small amount that reached him. ¡°Roar¡­¡± The intense pain made him roar. His body had finally recovered, but his face was pale. Lin Mo¡¯s sword had injured him seriously¡­ ¡°If you¡¯re not united, how can you even think about joining forces?¡± Lin Mo sneered. A dazzling sword light burst out of the Broken Moon Sword. He consumed a Heaven-class Level 9 divine pill to replenish the spiritual qi in his body. Under the infusion of this terrifying energy, the Broken Moon Sword shone brightly. The sword light became sharper and brighter, causing everyone who was present to look over. The Kun Peng Wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back extended, and the Yin Yang Dao Law appeared. Blessed with the force of the Kun Peng, Lin Mo¡¯s essence, spirit, and soul were united as he flew out with his sword. His target was the Behemoth Beast. This was a Golden Behemoth, and it was also a Quasi-Saint. Its blood essence would definitely reach Level 9 Heaven-class. ¡°B*stards, you guys are just watching a show¡­¡± Cold sweat broke out on the Behemoth Beast¡¯s forehead. When it saw the other four people standing by and watching, its face turned red with anger. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. The Behemoth Beast was afraid. Under the gazes of many living beings, it turned around and fled. ¡°You want to leave?¡± Lin Mo sneered. Using the force of the Kun Peng, he caught up with him at high speed and slashed down with its dazzling sword. The Behemoth Beast was scared out of its wits. In its panic, it wanted to dodge this sword. However, perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was just too unlucky. He dodged to the left and crashed into a towering mountain. However, this momentary pause was equivalent to his death sentence. The Broken Moon Sword fell from the sky and slashed down on the Behemoth Beast¡¯s forehead. The sword qi spread out and destroyed its sea of consciousness in an instant. A Quasi-Saint was killed with just one strike. At this moment, all the living beings who were watching from tens of thousands of miles away, as well as the Quasi-Saints who had participated in the attack, were dumbfounded. A dignified Quasi-Saint had been killed just like that? Moreover, it was such a speechless death¡­ Normally, he would have been able to dodge this fatal blow, but because he had crashed into the mountain peak, his reaction had been delayed¡­ ¡°Cough cough¡­¡± After completing this attack, Lin Mo felt a sharp pain in his heart. ¡°Ptui¡­¡± After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he felt much better. Inside his body, countless meridians were in a terrible state. His limbs and bones had received varying degrees of damage. Some of his weak meridians were even broken. Because a huge amount of energy had passed through his body, it had caused his body to feel it as a huge burden. Of course, the effect was also very obvious. The Behemoth had been killed, and the other four Quasi-Saints were no longer in the mood to fight. When they saw Lin Mo looking over, they tore open the space and fled. ¡°Heavens¡­¡± Tens of thousands of miles away, the Three-Eyed Giant Clan members cried out in alarm as they saw the battle. ¡°Lin Mo killed the Golden Behemoth Beast with his immortal sword. The remaining four Quasi-Saints have escaped. The other two are from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion¡­¡± Everyone was shocked. Countless living beings widened their eyes in disbelief. It was already quite ridiculous that a Quasi-Saint¡¯s attack could be resisted by three juniors using array formations and immortal qi. Now, one of them had even been killed. Moreover, four of them had run away. The so-called alliance army had been completely routed¡­ Lin Mo had only intimidated the other Quasi-Saints slightly, and the rest of them had fled in all directions. They were no longer as imposing as before. ¡°You won?¡± Behind them, the remaining thirty-seven people of Molin Chamber of Commerce were shocked. Excitement gradually flashed in their eyes, and finally, they shouted excitedly. ¡°A Quasi-Saint¡­ The president killed a Quasi-Saint. We won¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯re finally safe. The crisis this time can be considered as resolved, right?¡± Some people rejoiced. From the moment they had stayed behind to accompany the Qilin, they had already prepared for the worst. Facing a Quasi-Saint, they wouldn¡¯t even have had the chance to fight back. Who would have thought that the result would be beyond their expectations? They had won and survived this desperate situation. Of course, compared to their excitement, some people tens of thousands of miles away were unable to laugh. Their faces were filled with regret, wishing that they could turn back time. Although it had been natural for them to leave the Chamber of Commerce at the most dangerous time, it would be difficult for them to return now¡­ ¡°How do you plan to thank me?¡± The formation in Lin City closed, and three formation flags were handed over to Lin Mo. Mu Yuzhu chuckled. ¡°How about I give you the position of a guest elder of the Chamber of Commerce?¡± Lin Mo teased. It was time for him to recruit Mu Yuzhu. ¡°Please show some sincerity. I have offended quite a number of people in order to help you¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu rolled her eyes at Lin Mo. The Mu family and Lin Mo were considered as being on the same side now due to their actions today, at least in the ancient battlefield. Now, Lin Mo had already offended many people, which meant that even the Mu family would now be implicated¡­ ¡°I saw you fight just now. You cultivate the Great Dao of Water, right?¡± Lin Mo said. He remembered that the reward for the system mission was a Water Dao Immortal Pill¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right. Will you give me a treasure that can help me cultivate as a thank you?¡± Mu Yuzhu asked. If Lin Mo really had such a treasure, she would not stand on ceremony. Chapter 779 - 779 The Strong Chamber of Commerce 779 The Strong Chamber of Commerce ¡°How about this, if you agree to be the guest elder, I¡¯ll give you a Level 9 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Divine Lotus of the water attribute. How about it?¡± Mu Yuzhu and the two Quasi-Saints behind her were shocked. The Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Divine Lotus was at the top of the divine medicines. Low-grade ones were easy to find, but not easy to raise. However, Level 9 was somewhat difficult to find. It could even be said to be a rare find in the world. Furthermore, it was the Great Dao of Water that was compatible with Mu Yuzhu. ¡°Little friend, my young miss did not hesitate to offend many factions to help you. It is won¡¯t be a loss for you to use the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Divine Lotus to repay her, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, since your attributes don¡¯t match, why don¡¯t you use this to repay your kindness?¡± The two Quasi-Saints had spoken up. If they were able to get this item, it would be worth it. ¡°That should be the case. However, I still have something in my hand that is more suitable for you¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. He planned to keep Mu Yuzhu in suspense and see if she was truly interested. ¡°Little friend, you must be joking. The Heaven-Connecting God-Receiving Divine Lotus is extremely precious. If its attributes are compatible, it will be comparable to a Quasi-Immortal treasure.¡± One of the Quasi-Saints chuckled, not believing that Lin Mo had such a treasure. If he really wanted to talk about it in detail, there was one. That moon-white longsword being one of them. However, Lin Mo obviously wouldn¡¯t give that away. It was his trump card at a critical moment. How could he give it away¡­ ¡°Oh, then can a Quasi-Immortal level Water Path Immortal Pill be compared to the Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Divine Lotus?¡± Lin Mo said. This was equivalent to a heavy bomb that shocked the two Quasi-Saints. Even Mu Yuzhu was shocked as she looked at Lin Mo. Water Dao Immortal Pills were extremely rare, and the number of alchemists in the Northern Continent who could concoct them could be counted on one hand. Moreover, the materials to produce them were extremely difficult to find. It was not possible to refine a furnace even in a thousand years¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll give you these two treasures and a Quasi-Immortal Level martial arts technique that fits the Great Dao of Water. I¡¯ll also hire you as a guest elder. Will that be enough? ¡± Such conditions were already at the limit of what Lin Mo could offer. However, this was enough to impress the others. The Mu family did not lack martial arts techniques, but they would definitely not find it too much. As for the immortal pills and divine lotus, they were treasures that were hard to come by. Sure enough, the two Quasi-Saints were tempted after hearing the conditions. After having repeatedly asked Lin Mo to be a guest elder, they persuaded Mu Yuzhu to agree. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the two elders be objecting at this time?¡± Qilin, who had not been able to interject earlier, finally spoke. Under normal circumstances, wouldn¡¯t these elders stand up to oppose and condemn Lin Mo for not repaying their kindness¡­ ¡°We¡¯re not pedantic old fogeys. We¡¯re just guest elders. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± The two Quasi-Saints said bluntly that it was nothing much for them to be guest elders. Moreover, Lin Mo and Qilin had great potential. This was the reason they had sent help to them when they needed it. It was not a big deal to agree to Lin Mo¡¯s request. They could even obtain huge benefits from it. ¡°Alright then, but it¡¯ll only be as a guest¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu nodded. Like Song Lianxue, she became a guest elder of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. ¡°Welcome, sister,¡± cheered the Qilin. The Molin Chamber of Commerce had once again grown stronger. Moreover, after this incident, their cohesiveness had become even stronger, and their influence in the future would be even greater. [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received 5,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, a Water Attribute Level 9 Heaven-Connecting God-Attracting Divine Lotus, and a Water Attribute immortal pill.] In the Inner World, Lin Mo obtained a mountain of supreme-grade spiritual stones. However, the spiritual stones given by the system could not be given a rebate even if they were injected into the Inner World, so he stayed. They returned to the small courtyard where they had gathered. There were a total of forty-seven people there. They held a banquet and celebrated with spiritual fruits and wine. Of course, the most precious thing was still the Golden Behemoth that Lin Mo had killed earlier. The mountain-like body was divided up by a group of people and placed into a pot to boil. ¡°Welcome to the team. Also, thank you very much for today¡­¡± At the banquet, Lin Mo took out immortal pills and divine lotuses. They emitted specks of blue light, like water ripples. ¡°It really is a Water Attribute Immortal Pill¡­¡± The two Quasi-Saint elders of the Mu family muttered. They extended their soul power to examine Lin Mo carefully. Their eyes were filled with admiration. This young man was really worthy of being roped in. He knew how to repay kindness, had extraordinary courage, and had the God Devouring Body. He was also always accompanied by auspicious beasts. With such great luck, they were glad that they were not enemies. ¡°During the time you were being hunted, did you manage to enter those dangerous places?¡± Mu Yuzhu asked. This kind of treasure was very difficult to find in the outside world, and they were all well hidden. However, on this battlefield, there was still a chance to find it in the most dangerous forbidden areas. It was said that as long as one could survive after entering, they would definitely obtain benefits and even bring out Quasi-Immortal treasures. It was a pity that only a handful of the Hidden Dragon List could survive. Over the course of countless years, only a handful of people were able to bring out treasures. For Lin Mo to be able to take so many treasures out, in her opinion, he must have entered one of the dangerous places. ¡°I got it from the depths of the Scarlet Plains,¡± said Lin Mo, making up a lie. In any case, it was a land of death. Without the suppression of the Qilin¡¯s remnant soul, its ferocity would only be even more terrifying. No one would dare to investigate. ¡°A skilled person is bold, this little friend is bold!¡± The two Quasi-Saints praised. Even they didn¡¯t dare to venture into such an extreme land. If they were not careful, they would die inside that land. Lin Mo must have passed through with the help of the Qilin¡¯s spell technique. He had great luck, which made them envious. ¡°President, there are people outside the Molin Chamber of Commerce who wish to see you. They are the people who left earlier.¡± At this moment, Feng Tian walked in and reported the situation. He was very unhappy. After the desperate situation was over, the future of the Molin Chamber of Commerce was bright, so these people had returned. ¡°Tell them to go away. Get as far away as they can,¡± the Qilin immediately said angrily. The expression on her small face was ice-cold. She hated these people who had run away at the last moment. When they had first joined, they had all said that they were grateful because their lives had been saved and were willing to go through fire and water without hesitation. But in the end, more than half of them had run¡­ ¡°Hey, wait. Allow them to come back and assign them new positions. They can be taken in, but don¡¯t put them in any important positions. The resources will be limited to the brothers here. ¡± Lin Mo stopped Feng Tian, who was about to chase the people away. This was the Molin Chamber of Commerce, and he did not restrict others from leaving or staying. There was nothing wrong with these people choosing to leave. He did not blame them. The law of survival was that people¡¯s hearts were unpredictable. It was already pretty good that they had not made trouble or even turned to the enemy. He looked at Zhao Tianyu and Mao Zhu. He liked them. His management skills were very strong. He believed that he could handle this group of people well. At the same time, he would recruit more people and strengthen the Molin Chamber of Commerce again. ¡°Haha, just leave it to me.¡± Zhao Tianyu was the first to stand up. He knew just what to do and went down to make arrangements. ¡°Right, because of the Quasi-Saint siege, the auction was delayed. Release the news that the auction will be held in three days. ¡± Lin Mo spoke again. The Dao Stone of Comprehension was in his hand, the Level 9 Snow Ginseng King, was still waiting to be auctioned off¡­ When she heard that Lin Mo still had a Quasi-Immortal Dao Stone of Comprehension, Mu Yuzhu¡¯s eyes lit up. She wanted to buy it from Lin Mo. Lin Mo had also given her, as a guest elder, a sufficient discount. From now on, she would only need to pay 80% of the price for her participation in the auction, including the items that other people put up for auction¡­ Chapter 780 - 780 Todays Luck Is Pretty Good 780 Today¡¯s Luck Is Pretty Good ¡°You¡¯re making me feel a little guilty. I¡¯ve already received so many benefits, yet I¡¯m only a guest elder¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu wanted to refuse. In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the immortal pills and the divine lotus were very important to her, she would have rejected even these two treasures. After all, a large part of the reason why she had come to help Lin Mo was because they had worked together a few times before and she did not want to see a friend leave sadly¡­ ¡°Just keep it. If you hadn¡¯t come today, I¡¯m afraid I would have had to run away with my people.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He truly wanted to thank Mu Yuzhu. The banquet lasted until late at night. Everyone drank and talked freely. In the end, Lin Mo had also gotten a little tipsy. He forcefully circulated the Soul-Devouring Art to absorb the alcohol smell before becoming alert again. The next day, Lin City became lively again. The forces that had moved away previously had now returned. The news that Molin Chamber of Commerce was about to hold an auction also spread. Countless living beings were especially tempted when they heard that the finale treasure would be a Quasi-Immortal Dao Stone of Comprehension. At the same time, there were also several masters who were in self-defeating realms but had not broken through to the Quasi-Saint Realm yet. The Dao Stone of Comprehension was their hope. If they could only reach the Quasi-Saint Realm, they would be able to go to dangerous places that they had never dared to go to before. Moreover, only with strength could he truly protect himself. In addition, countless masters were tempted and flocked over. They had all reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the King Realm, and their strength could no longer improve. If they could obtain a Quasi-Immortal Dao Comprehension Stone, they might just have a chance of making a breakthrough. At that time, they would also become the top masters on this battlefield and everyone would have to respect them. ¡°There are more people than I expected¡­¡± Lin Mo stood at the highest point of Lin City and looked down at the world below. He exuded an inexplicable aura of supremacy. Behind him were Fang Luo and the other two were formation masters. This was because Lin Mo had brought back a large number of precious materials this time. He was able to cultivate even more formation flags. The Three Gods Sword Formation had been repaired by the three of them. Moreover, the three of them had recently gained some enlightenment and felt that they could make a breakthrough in the formation path. ¡°The Three Gods Sword Formation isn¡¯t complete yet. Can it still be improved?¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. The sword formation that the three of them had comprehended by referring to the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was already very strong. Ultimately, this was not the final version. ¡°That¡¯s why we¡¯re here. We want to enter the president¡¯s Inner World. Cultivating in the Fire Spirit Lake will be of great benefit to us,¡± said Fang Luo. This was also the reason why the three of them had eagerly come to find Lin Mo. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your good news then.¡± After sending the three of them into the Inner World, Zhao Tianyu came and reported to Lin Mo that a Quasi-Saint had entered Lin City. ¡°Miss Mu has moved her family¡¯s disciples to Lin City. She was the one who informed us of this news. ¡± Zhao Tianyu was a little worried. The destructive power of a Quasi-Saint was too strong. Once the other party had malicious intent, even the Qilin and Lin Mo might not be able to stop them at such a close distance. ¡°I know. Restrain the people from the Molin Chamber of Commerce and tell them not to go out as much as possible,¡± Lin Mo instructed. He had formation flags in his hands that could activate the formation instantly. He had the combat strength of a Quasi-Saint. The Qilin also had a formation flag in her hand, so there was no problem in terms of safety. The only thing Lin Mo was worried about was whether the auction in two days would go smoothly. He still had to earn back the rebate treasures. In addition, he could clearly sense that some changes had occurred in the Inner World. This was especially so at the bottom of the Fire Spirit Lake, where the Broken Moon Sword was, an inexplicable energy was born. After the Broken Moon Sword had absorbed it, Lin Mo could clearly feel that the spirit of the weapon was becoming more and more intelligent. ¡°I don¡¯t want to think about it anymore. My luck today is pretty good and I feel that there will be a huge opportunity waiting for me¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He couldn¡¯t find any clues, so he decided not to think too much about it. He left the Molin Chamber of Commerce and walked along the bustling streets. Without knowing it, he arrived at a familiar place. ¡°Green Wood Garden, I wonder if that senior is still around¡­¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He still had the other party¡¯s talisman in his hand. Since he happened to encounter the place today, he decided that he would go in and take a look. If that senior was still around, he could buy a few more talismans¡­ ¡°Squeak¡­¡± Before he could knock on the door, the wooden door opened automatically. In a small courtyard, a woman was playing the zither. The sound of the zither made Lin Mo relax. This senior was still here, but she was the only one in the whole of Green Wood Garden. ¡°Are you here to chase me away?¡± The woman chuckled and waved her hand. A pot of tea appeared on the table and she invited Lin Mo to come over. ¡°Senior, you¡¯re too kind. I happened to pass by and came to pay you a visit.¡± Without standing on ceremony, Lin Mo walked up to the pavilion to sit down. He raised his cup and took a sip of tea. In an instant, the fragrance of tea filled the entire courtyard. ¡°Good tea!¡± Lin Mo sighed. After experiencing a bitter battle and drinking a lot of wine that night, the cup of tea today made him feel much lighter. ¡°This Awakening Tea has the effect of calming one¡¯s mind. It¡¯s very suitable for you to drink in your current state. ¡± The woman poured the tea and continued playing the zither. ¡°Senior, what is your identity?¡± Lin Mo asked. This woman gave him a strange feeling. Other people who had entered the ancient battlefield by killing themselves were all fighting to the death for resources. However, the person in front of him had done the opposite. She had stayed here without stirring up any trouble. ¡°Why do you ask?¡± the woman asked. ¡°Senior, your heart is as clear as a mirror. You have no desires, but you have cut your own realm and entered the battlefield. You don¡¯t compete for resources, as if you are not involved¡­¡± The combination of all these contradictions puzzled Lin Mo greatly. He did not understand why. ¡°I just wanted to see you¡­¡± The woman¡¯s words were unexpected and shocked Lin Mo. He didn¡¯t understand what she meant. This was probably only the second time he had met this senior. ¡°Hehe, I was just joking. I¡¯m sorry for making a fool of myself in front of President Lin. I¡¯ve already gotten what I wanted. I¡¯m just waiting to leave. ¡± The woman chuckled and poured the last cup of tea for Lin Mo. This explanation was reasonable, but Lin Mo still had some doubts. However, he received no answers. Taking another sip, Lin Mo said, ¡°I¡¯d like to buy some talismans from Senior.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t have any left at the moment. When I dismissed everyone from Green Wood Garden, I distributed them.¡± The woman shook her head as she spoke very casually. Countless people were scrambling for high-grade talismans, but she gave them away so easily. ¡°In that case, this junior will take his leave¡­¡± After drinking the tea in the cup, he let the fragrance wash his soul. He felt extremely relaxed. After thanking the lady, Lin Mo stood up and left. Although he had not managed to buy any talismans, it had been pretty good to be able to drink a few cups of the Awakening Tea. Walking along the street, he came to the black market. There were still many people coming and going here, and there were many people searching for treasures. Relying on his luck, Lin Mo walked in confidently. However, after checking, he realized that fate had played a little joke on him. ¡°Strange, I clearly felt that I would have a fortuitous encounter if I went out. Could it have been because of those few cups of tea? ¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. He wandered around the black market but found nothing. He did encounter treasures, but they were all clearly priced. All of the things were priced high and not low, and the fun of picking up a good deal was lost¡­ ¡°It looks like this black market does not have any treasures¡­¡± Helpless, he decided to stop strolling around and went to visit Mu Yuzhu. He gave her the third formation flag to protect herself. In the blink of an eye, the third day had arrived. The auction that everyone was looking forward to would also begin tonight¡­ Chapter 781 - 781 Black Yellow Qi 781 Black Yellow Qi People were coming and going in front of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Although Quasi-Saints had come to attack previously, many creatures had come to observe due to the huge commotion. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t that someone from the Dragon Palace? That must be the Quasi-Saint of the Dragon Palace. He arrived a long time ago. ¡± Someone recognized the small group of people sitting in the hall. They were from the Dragon Palace. Three of them were Lin Mo¡¯s acquaintances. He had saved them and escorted them safely to Blue Sea City. ¡°The people from the Nine-Colored Peacock Clan have also arrived. Moreover, two Quasi-Saints have also arrived¡­¡± Amidst many exclamations of surprise, many living beings came to the auction, and they were all very powerful. Lin Mo was very familiar with the auras of a few of the Quasi-Saints. ¡°It¡¯s someone who once chased after me. They might not have come with good intentions. Call Mu Yuzhu over and activate the array formation.¡± Lin Mo was backstage. He looked down and gave the order. During the auction, he had to maintain his Quasi-Saint strength at all times. For the first time, he felt that the situation was getting out of control. He could sense that there were more than 20 Quasi-Saints, and more than half of them had attacked him before. ¡°Didn¡¯t you rope in Dragon Palace as an ally before?¡± Not long after, Mu Yuzhu arrived. She even brought a Quasi-Saint with her to help out. She didn¡¯t understand. Lin Mo had gone through so much trouble just to win the people from the Dragon Palace over. Why was he on guard now? ¡°Tang Ru might have the idea of cooperating with me, but some people don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Lin Mo replied telepathically. He could remember the auras of all the Quasi-Saints who had attacked him. By relying on the Dao Law of Fate, as long as the difference in cultivation levels was not too great, any hidden methods would be useless against him. ¡°This is a little troublesome. When you auction off the Quasi-Immortal Level treasure, they might try to snatch it¡­¡± The Qilin was also called over. Even Fang Luo had been called out of seclusion to maintain the operation of the Three Gods Sword Formation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I still have a trump card that can be used to deter them.¡± Faced with Mu Yuzhu and Qilin¡¯s worries, Lin Mo spoke bluntly, telling them not to be nervous. ¡°Let¡¯s see who¡¯s crazier,¡± Lin Mo secretly sneered. Mu Yuzhu and the Qilin sat down while holding formation flags. At the same time, it was also arranged for the people from the Molin Chamber of Commerce to gather. Lin Mo raised his hand and immediately collected these people into his Inner World. He decided to focus on nurturing all thirty-seven people, including Zhao Tianyu and the others. He could not afford to lose them here. As for the rest, although they were not taken into the Inner World, it was arranged for them to retreat and leave the Molin Chamber of Commerce temporarily to avoid unnecessary losses. ¡°It¡¯s time to go on stage. Fang Luo, activate the array formation.¡± Lin Mo nodded. Everything was ready. He walked out of the backstage area. As soon as he appeared, everyone¡¯s eyes stopped on him. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± The entire hall shook violently. Array patterns appeared, and a formation flag appeared behind Lin Mo. An endless stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was injected into his body. ¡°What a mystical formation. This kid is extremely lucky to have such an opportunity.¡± ¡°To be able to allow someone to have the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint without any fluctuations in their realm, I must obtain it¡­¡± Several creatures spoke up without hiding anything. They were keen to obtain the formation diagram in front of Lin Mo. ¡°Then I have to apologize. This formation is not for sale.¡± Lin Mo chuckled, but he was not angry. He took out a golden talisman and showed it to everyone¡­ ¡°Level 7 Heaven-class, an attack talisman. It can only be used once. It¡¯s a very powerful attack talisman. ¡± As he spoke, he banged the auction hammer and said, ¡°The starting price is 700,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. Each bid must not be lower than 50,000.¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was shocked. This was too expensive. No matter how popular a normal Heaven-class Level 7 talisman was, it would usually only cost 500,000 yuan. It turned out that Lin Mo¡¯s starting bid was 700,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Junior, are you toying with us?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. You have to have a conscience when doing business. Aren¡¯t you afraid of ruining your reputation by setting such a high starting price?¡± Some people mocked Lin Mo from the shadows, thinking that the price he had set was too high. Even if this was a special environment and Quasi-Saints ran amok, they shouldn¡¯t be sold at such a high price¡­ Unfortunately, before they could finish their mocking words, an old man stood up from below. ¡°750,000. Since fellow Daoists think it¡¯s too expensive, then they shouldn¡¯t bid.¡± The one who had made the bid was one of the Quasi-Saint Elders who had come with Mu Yuzhu. Because of Mu Yuzhu, he also knew what kind of treasures would be auctioned this time. It was so precious that it would attract the attention of a Supreme Saint. This was also the reason why he had appeared in the hall. After all, Lin Mo was selling these treasures. ¡°Hmph, you wish. This old man bids 800,000.¡± ¡°850,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± The slap-in-the-face had come at a very timely time. Moreover, the bidders were all Quasi-Saints with extraordinary strength. Those who had secretly mocked him didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly at this moment, afraid that they would be exposed by the Quasi-Saint. ¡°950,000.¡± The elder of the Mu family spoke again. If just one more person bid, the price would reach a million. This was almost as expensive as a Quasi-Immortal treasure. Everyone sighed. ¡°1.1 million¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lin Mo smiled as he looked at the Quasi-Saints who were frantically bidding. The higher the bid, the better. In fact, the reason these Quasi-Sages were bidding so frantically was because they had a grudge against each other. There was more or less friction between the various factions. Once the enemy forces obtained the attack talisman, it would be extremely troublesome in the future. ¡°Hmph, a junior is making us, over twenty Quasi-Saints, fight over him. Are you all willing to accept this?¡± Finally, someone couldn¡¯t take it anymore because the price was too high. In order to prevent the enemy from succeeding, they had no choice but to attack. This was also the result that Lin Mo wanted. [ System Mission: Someone is about to snatch the auction item. Kill him and intimidate the crowd. ] [ Mission Reward: The first wisp of black and yellow qi will be born in the Inner World.] When the Quasi-Saint stepped forward, Lin Mo received a system mission. Moreover, the rewards were very rich. Black represented the sky, yellow represented the earth, and this Black Yellow Qi was the qi of heaven and earth. This kind of qi could only be produced by heaven and earth when the world was born. After a mortal absorbed it, their physique would become psychic and they would be able to absorb the essence of the sun, moon, and heaven. Their path of cultivation would be unimpeded. It was just that he did not know what special use the Black Yellow Qi born in the Inner World had. After all, he hadn¡¯t experienced the beginning of the world, so he didn¡¯t dare to absorb it directly. ¡°Forget it. I have the God Devouring Body. I do not lack this wisp of Black Yellow Qi¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed and gave up on the idea of devouring it. After all, this was his Inner World. Who knew what it would grow into in the future? ¡°Sir, what do you mean by this? The auction is voluntary. If you think it¡¯s expensive, you can choose not to bid,¡± said Lin Mo in a deep voice. As he spoke, he held a moon-white sword in his hand. As soon as the immortal sword appeared, the crowd was in an uproar. Some of the Quasi-Saints didn¡¯t hide the greed in their eyes. In that instant, Lin Mo could sense that seven Quasi-Saints were about to attack. At such a close distance, he was also a little worried¡­ If more than twenty Quasi-Saints were to fight for the Immortal Sword together, he would not be able to stop them¡­ Chapter 782 - 782 The Creation of Heaven and Earth 782 The Creation of Heaven and Earth He clenched his fist and another golden talisman appeared in his palm. This was another defensive talisman. Although it was not enough to block more than twenty Quasi-Saints, it was enough to buy him some time. ¡°Hmph, you want to use talismans against me? If you use them, then what will you sell?¡± The Quasi-Saint sneered, but the greed in his eyes had weakened. He wasn¡¯t stupid. If he took the attack of a Level 7 Heaven-class talisman head-on, he would be severely injured even if he didn¡¯t die. At that time, if he was blocked by the enemy, he would die here. ¡°If you don¡¯t wish to participate in the auction, you may leave. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to attack you,¡± said Lin Mo, giving a final warning. Hearing this, many of the living beings who were present laughed. They felt that Lin Mo was boasting shamelessly. Even though he had the immortal sword, he couldn¡¯t ignore the presence of the many Quasi-Saints here. ¡°Arrogant brat.¡± At this moment, two more Quasi-Saints stood up and released powerful auras. It was time to take sides. There was a fluctuation in the space. Some creatures sensed that something was wrong and quickly ran away. They had originally wanted to come to the auction to see what treasures were worth buying. It turned out that Lin Mo had prepared all sorts of treasures, which had tempted the Quasi-Saints greatly. These creatures would have no chance. If they continued to stay, they would probably be killed by the aftershocks of the battle. ¡°Let¡¯s leave quickly. A Quasi-Saint battle is about to erupt here¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s wait and see. Maybe there won¡¯t be a fight¡­¡± Some creatures advised their companions to leave, but there were also people who wanted to watch the show and watch the battle at a close distance. ¡°The three of you want to attack? Alright, die then¡­¡± Lin Mo froze for a moment as the talisman in his palm changed from gold to dark red, and a destructive aura began to spread out. After activating it with spiritual qi, the dark red talisman instantly pierced through the void and three rays of light immediately burst out. No one could react in time to this speed unless they were Quasi-Saints with the Kun Peng¡¯s extreme speed or the human race¡¯s strongest divine power, Spatial Bending. ¡°This is a Heaven-class Level 9 attack talisman¡­¡± As the attack landed, some Quasi-Saints cried out in alarm, especially those who had previously attacked Lin Mo and entered with concealed identities. At this moment, they felt a chill down their spines, and a bone-chilling chill spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. In front of them, a thumb-sized hole appeared between the eyebrows of the three Quasi-Saints. The qi produced by the Level 9 Heaven-class talisman was extremely compressed. The attack hit the three of them and completely annihilated their souls. The three of them couldn¡¯t be more dead. They were instantly killed by Lin Mo. They had even had mocking smiles on their faces before they died. They ha thought that Lin Mo would not dare to make a move and would definitely think of a way to escape. Who would have thought that Lin Mo would do the opposite and kill the three of them with his powerful attack talisman? [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Mission reward: Black Yellow Qi. ] In the Inner World, strands of primal chaotic qi suddenly began permeating the originally turbid space. An extremely special qi slowly condensed. On this side was the Black Yellow Qi. It was pure white in color, holy, and flawless. The moment it appeared, the Inner World also changed. Colors gradually appeared in the murky sky. The chaos in the space began to move, and the clear and turbid qi inside no longer intertwined. The turbid qi descended and formed the earth, while the clear qi rose and formed the sky. ¡°Is this¡­ the beginning of the world?¡± Lin Mo was a little shocked. This was too unbelievable. Could it be that his Inner World really was going to form a new plane? To give birth to a new life, did that mean he was the way to heaven? ¡°Looks like I have to find more supreme-grade spiritual stones¡­¡± Lin Mo murmured in his heart. The Molin Chamber of Commerce must be established in the Northern Continent. He needed too many resources¡­ At this moment, the remaining Quasi-Saints in the auction hall were as silent as cicadas in winter. No one dared to stand up and speak. The dark red talisman in Lin Mo¡¯s hand that had unleashed an attack also dissipated at this moment. He didn¡¯t say a word and took the magic weapons that the three Quasi-Saints had stored on them. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ve cleared all the irrelevant people. Fellow Daoists, are you still willing to bid?¡± Lin Mo waved the golden talisman in his hand. In the previous bidding, someone had bid 1.3 million supreme-grade spiritual stones. This was a huge profit, and he did not want to miss it. ¡°Of course I¡¯m willing. I bid 1.35 million. ¡± The Quasi-Saint of the Mu Clan spoke, ending the silence. However, the others hesitated and looked at Lin Mo with fear. ¡°No wonder he dared to auction off talismans without any restraint. It turns out that he has an even stronger one in his hands¡­¡± ¡°But how many talismans does he have?¡± someone murmured as he looked at Lin Mo. This was also the question in the hearts of everyone present. However, no one dared to ask, and no one wanted to test the answer to this question. ¡°Since no one else is bidding, this attack talisman will be auctioned off to this fellow Daoist.¡± Lin Mo rapped the auction hammer and announced the auction result. The Quasi-Saint of the Mu Clan was overjoyed. He quickly went forward and handed over the spiritual stones to take the attack talisman. This scene made the others envious. Such a talisman was equivalent to a full-force attack from a First Heaven Layer Quasi-Saint¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off a Level 7 Heaven-class attack talisman. ] [ Successfully triggered 10,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 9 Heaven-class Attack Talisman. ¡± With a 10,000-fold rebate, Lin Mo had another trump card in his hand that could instantly kill a Quasi-Saint. ¡®System, transfer all 1.35 million supreme-class spiritual stones into the Inner World,¡¯ Lin Mo thought to himself. [ Successful infusion. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Level 8 Heaven-class Healing Talisman. Those below the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm can instantly heal their injuries and recover all their spiritual qi. ] This was the first time Lin Mo had seen such a healing talisman. ¡°This can be considered as a life¡­¡± He was very satisfied with this reward. When facing enemies, using it at a critical moment could have an unexpected effect. In fact, he could even activate the Broken Moon Sword without any worries and use it to recover afterwards. It was a very powerful trump card¡­ ¡°For those who didn¡¯t managed to get the item, please don¡¯t be angry. I still have another Heaven-class Level 7 attack talisman.¡± ¡°In view of the high price of the previous auction item, the starting price of this talisman will be set at one million.¡± ¡°Each bid must not be lower than a hundred thousand. Everyone, you may start your bidding¡­¡± After saying this with a smile, the faces of the Quasi-Saints who were present turned cold. In addition, a large number of Ninth Heavenly Layer Kings were also furious. It was fine if the starting price had been one million, but the bidding had to be increased by 100,000. This was a little too much. ¡°Fellow Daoist, we have never provoked you. Why are you doing this?¡± A Quasi-Saint said in a deep voice. Calling Lin Mo a fellow Daoist was a form of recognition, which was shocking. Since the beginning, they had never offended Lin M. Now that they were here for the auction, they would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to buy it¡­ ¡°Forgive me. After all, I have the God Devouring Body. Everyone knows that making a breakthrough requires too many resources¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed helplessly. ¡°Let the auction begin. Everyone, you may start bidding now.¡± The auction gavel sounded, and the bidding for the second treasure began. After a short period of silence, several creatures finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°I bid 1.1 million!¡± Chapter 783 - 783 Fighting for It in Various Ways 783 Fighting for It in Various Ways Some people started to speak, and many creatures began to get restless. This was especially true for those who had also cut off their own realms but had yet to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Before they could make a breakthrough, they needed a powerful trump card. This attack talisman was naturally the first choice. No matter what, they had to get it. ¡°1.2 million!¡± ¡°1.3 million!¡± In the blink of an eye, the price had reached 1.3 million. If another bid was made, it would surpass the previous one. Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. So what if it was a group of Quasi-Saints? He still had to obediently follow his rules¡­ ¡°1.3 million going once. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?¡± The auction hammer sounded for the first time. Lin Mo looked at the hesitant crowd. ¡°Is there no one else who wants to raise the bid? You should know that if you raise the bid once more, it¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll be able to get this talisman.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s seductive voice echoed in the hall. Even those with their Quasi-Saint mentality found it hard to resist. They wanted to bid, but they hesitated. After all, that was more than half of their savings. However, what Lin Mo said made sense. If they wanted to bid again, they would have to think carefully. ¡°I bid 1.4 million.¡± Just then, the Quasi-Saint of the Mu Clan stood up again. His bid made many people unhappy. ¡°Could it be that the Mu Clan is colluding with you to deliberately raise the price to scam us¡­¡± Someone was dissatisfied. Everyone knew that the Mu Clan and Lin Mo were on the same side on the ancient battlefield. The day before yesterday, Lin Mo had announced that Mu Yuzhu was currently a guest elder of Molin Chamber of Commerce. Even the disciples from her clan had moved to Lin City. Now that one of the Mu Clan¡¯s elders was bidding, it looked unavoidably suspicious to people. ¡°You can choose not to bid. I¡¯ll be the one who gains anyway.¡± Elder Mu waved his hand dismissively without quibbling. ¡°1.5 million!¡± After more than a minute of consideration, another person made a bid, raising the price to 1.5 million. This was almost comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Level treasure. It was unexpected. ¡°1.5 million going once, anyone else?¡± Lin Mo smiled and swept his gaze across the crowd. Unfortunately, the price was too high. However, mining also required a large amount of manpower and material resources. Moreover, they also had to cultivate themselves, so they could not use all of them. ¡°Going for the third time¡­. Sold. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. ¡± Lin Mo banged the auction hammer and announced the auction result. However, he was not satisfied that the last bidder was a Quasi-Saint of the Dragon Palace. The other party had attacked him once before. Although he hid it well, he could still feel it. Without any evidence, he couldn¡¯t make a move. Furthermore, this fellow was smiling and talking to Lin Mo as if the both of them had been good friends for many years¡­ ¡°Sir, you may leave first. The next auction item is also a Heaven-class Level 7 talisman,¡± said Lin Mo in a deep voice. His words made everyone who was present gasp. This was already the third talisman that was being auctioned. Where had Lin Mo gotten so many high-level talismans from¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning a Level 7 Heaven-class Attack Talisman. ] [ Triggered 3,000 times auction rebate ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Level 8 Heaven-class Attack Talisman. ] No matter how lucky he was, he couldn¡¯t keep this up forever. This time, the rebates were normal. After all, the price had already tripled. ¡°These spiritual stones should also be injected into the Inner World,¡± said Lin Mo. [ Injection is successful. Obtained 500,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ] After collecting a batch of spiritual stones, Lin Mo took out a golden rune and showed it to everyone. ¡°For the third auction item, I¡¯m sorry to disappoint everyone. This is a defensive talisman,¡± said Lin Mo. When he had bought three Level 7 Heaven-class attack talismans, the woman from the Green Wood Garden had given him a defensive one. It just so happened that he needed an even stronger defensive talisman now. ¡°This talisman can be used about three times. It can give a perfect defense against the attacks from the Second Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. ¡± ¡°There¡¯s also a limit to this talisman. Once it¡¯s activated, it can only last for three years. Within three years, it will disappear regardless of whether it¡¯s used again or not.¡± Although it could be used three times, after the first use, it could only take effect for the next three years. However, it was more than enough to be used on the ancient battlefield. After all, a great battle could break out here at any time. This talisman was a very good life-saving trump card. ¡°Since it¡¯s not an attack talisman, the starting price will be what is normally priced in the outside world, ¡± chuckled Lin Mo. He didn¡¯t want to push this group of Quasi-Saints into a corner. ¡°The starting price is 300,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than 10,000. Now, the auction begins.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, many living beings stood up to bid. Most of them were at the Eighth or Ninth Heavenly Layer of the King Realm. They were very close to becoming a Quasi-Saint. With such a trump card, his life would be guaranteed¡­ ¡°350,000!¡± ¡°370,000!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Defensive talismans weren¡¯t very attractive to Quasi-Saints. After all, he could only defend against three moves. It was not worth it to pay such a huge price for this¡­ In the end, this defensive talisman was bought by a Ninth Heavenly Layer King. ¡°Deal. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, for winning the treasure at the price of 750,000.¡± The auctioneer¡¯s hammer was brought down. That person walked forward, completed the transaction with Lin Mo, and left with the talisman. [ Congratulations to the host for auctioning the Heaven-class Level 7 Defensive Talisman. ] [ Successfully triggered 9,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Heaven-class Level 9 Defensive Talisman. ] Lin Mo looked at the system¡¯s introduction. This talisman contained powerful energy and could withstand the full-strength attack of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Quasi-Saint. Of course, enduring such an attack consumed a lot of qi from the talisman. Moreover, it could not be replenished with supreme-grade spiritual stones unless it was repaired by a talisman master. ¡°There is no limit to the number of times it can be used. It can be used until the energy is exhausted¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. He had enough life-saving means. At the same time, he injected the supreme-grade spiritual stones he had obtained from the auction into his Inner world. [ Successful injection. Obtained Heaven-class Level 9 Defensive Talisman. ] He had once again been blessed by good luck. He had not expected that he would be given another talisman after only injecting 750,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°Simply perfect¡­¡± After praising him, Lin Mo looked at the crowd below the stage and an ice crystal jade box appeared in his hand. When the jade box was opened, the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and a dense icy spiritual qi spread out. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce was enveloped by a formation, this spiritual qi wouldn¡¯t have been able to spread out. Otherwise, the entire Lin City would be covered in ice and snow. Lin Mo waved his hand and dispersed the snowflakes that had gathered in front of him. He smiled and said, ¡°This is a Quasi-Immortal Level divine medicine, a Level 9 Snow Jade Ginseng King.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to introduce too much. The starting price is 2,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, and each increase must not be lower than 50,000.¡± ¡°The auction begins now!¡± Three powerful auras suddenly appeared in the arena. The spiritual qi of the ice attribute spread. The three of them looked at each other with some hostility. Among all the Quasi-Saints, only the three of them were compatible with the Ginseng King. ¡°If I¡¯m able to get this divine herb, I might even be able to return to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm within three years. I¡¯ll take this Ginseng King for 2.5 million,¡± said an old woman who had just stood up and made a bid. Chapter 784 - 784 Connate Mutated Fruit 784 Connate Mutated Fruit The compatibility of the attributes would be able to help her recover her strength quickly. Although Level 5 was not her peak, it would be enough to deal with the enemy forces. ¡°You want it? Impossible. I¡¯ll pay 2.7 million.¡± ¡°3 million. Let¡¯s see who has more money. ¡± The others were tactful enough not to participate in the competition between the three Quasi-Saints. However, they knew that they would definitely offend these three people if they tried to compete with them. Instead of doing so, they might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight. They would save their money and bid for the final treasure. ¡°It is indeed worthy of being a Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine¡­¡± On the stage, Lin Mo praised. Back then, he had estimated that this Level 9 White Jade Ginseng King was only worth 3,000,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones. But now, under the competition of these three, it had already reached 3.7 million. Moreover, the three of them were not showing any signs of backing out. It was as if they were going to bid to the end. ¡°These Quasi-Saints really have a lot of collections¡­¡± A minute later, the price was raised to 4.2 million. Secretly, Lin Mo was speechless. ¡°I have other treasures in my hands. Can they be used as a bargaining chip?¡± After another round of bidding, the old woman decided to go all out. She had stood up and made this request to Lin Mo. ¡°Of course. Take your treasures out and I¡¯ll give you an estimate for them,¡± said Lin Mo as he nodded, after having been waiting for a while. He had been waiting for this moment. No matter how many supreme-grade spiritual stones these Quasi-Saints had, they had a limit. When most of these people were in the outside world, their realms were frighteningly high. There were even true Saints. They would have an extremely rich collection, and it would not be difficult for any of them to take four to five million supreme-grade spiritual stones out at once. Lin Mo had grasped their thoughts and was certain that none of them wanted to give up on this Ginseng King so easily. In such an environment, the price of Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine gradually became ridiculous. ¡°These are six Deep Sea Blood Essence Beads. They are produced from blood clams of the Saint Realm and can be used to cultivate magic weapons. ¡± When she took out a blood-red bead, the Broken Moon Sword in Lin Mo¡¯s dantian, which had been on standby and waiting for Lin Mo¡¯s orders, produced a slight fluctuation. It was telling Lin Mo that it wanted these Deep Sea Blood Essence Beads. In terms of grade, these Blood Essence Beads were infinitely close to the existence of Quasi-Immortal Level treasures. Even the Broken Moon Sword could not help but be overwhelmed by the appearance of six of these at once. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you helped me so I¡¯ll get you treasures no matter what. Trust me.¡± Under Lin Mo¡¯s comforting words, the Broken Moon Sword in the center of his qi finally calmed down and stopped fluctuating. ¡°The normal price of a Deep Sea Blood Essence Bead outside is 500,000 yuan. If you sell it to me, I can give you 550,000 yuan for it.¡± A total of 3.3 million. That was a good price. ¡°Of course, if you¡¯re not satisfied, you may sell it to someone else, as long as someone is willing to bid. ¡± He pointed around. However, no one answered. The King¡¯s Realm cultivators who were observing all of this shook their heads. No one was willing to bid. ¡°Alright, I still have 4.3 million supreme-grade spiritual stones on me. How much are you willing to pay?¡± Her expression was cold as she looked at the two people who were hesitating. One of the elders stood up and said to Lin Mo, ¡°I have some treasures here as well. Please help me appraise them.¡± As he spoke, he took out a purple wooden box and took out a dark red strange fruit. ¡°This is¡­ Connate Mutated Fruit!¡± Someone cried out in alarm as he recognized this item. This was an extremely rare Quasi-Immortal medicine. In terms of value, it was several times higher than the Level 9 White Jade Ginseng King. Unfortunately, the conditions to absorb the Connate Mutated Fruit were very harsh. One needed to cultivate the ten of the Supreme Great Daos. There was no need to be proficient in it. One only needed to be at the beginner level. However, this was also the most difficult part. There were very few people like Lin Mo who could control two types. ¡°That¡¯s right. This is a Connate Mutated Fruit. How about we bid for your Ginseng King with this?¡± The old man looked reluctant, but there was nothing else he could do. If he could bring the Connate Mutated Fruit back to the sect, it would be a great merit and he could even receive an even richer reward. However, there was nothing he could do now. The most important thing was to increase his strength and take the lead on the ancient battlefield. ¡°According to the price of the outside world, this Connate Mutated Fruit is estimated to be worth seven million supreme-grade spiritual stones¡­¡± Lin Mo said with a smile. He did not agree with the old man¡¯s words and instead gave a price. It was very fair, but it was also despicable. The Connate Mutated Fruit was probably enough to buy two Level 9 White Jade Ginseng Kings, and he would still have a lot of supreme-grade spiritual stones left. However, it was not enough for Lin Mo to exchange for a Ginseng King¡­ ¡°Kid, don¡¯t go overboard. You should know the value of my Connate Mutated Fruit.¡± The old man¡¯s eyes reddened as he stared at Lin Mo. Whether it was Lin Mo or the Qilin, if they cultivated the Connate Mutated Fruit, the comprehension of their own Great Dao laws would increase. This was an immortal fruit that was extremely beneficial to future cultivation. ¡°Unfortunately, the Qilin and I have already eaten it. There will be no effect even if we eat it again. Even if we bought it, it would be auctioned off.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. He had never eaten a Connate Mutated Fruit. However, he had refined an even higher level Yin Yang Fruit. The Qilin had also refined the Fruit of Fate. Their comprehension of laws was already very fast. If they continued to consume similar fruits, the effect would not be great. Eating too much would instead spoil the growth, which was not good for cultivation. ¡°This is impossible¡­¡± The old man could not believe it. Back then, he had almost lost his life in order to obtain this Connate Mutated Fruit. He had thought that he was the only one who had obtained such an opportunity. In the end, not only had Lin Mo gotten it, but he had also gotten two and shared it with the Qilin¡­ ¡°This old man gives up. You guys can continue to fight.¡± On the other side, the third bidder gave up and sat back down, unwilling to spend a large number of spiritual stones. ¡°Gentlemen, the value of the treasure has been appraised. How many spiritual stones are you willing to pay?¡± Lin Mo looked at them. The Level 9 White Jade Ginseng King was of great significance to them. They could break through to the next realm ahead of time and not fall ill. In order to compete in the future, he had to make some sacrifices¡­ ¡°I bid 7.6 million supreme-grade spiritual stones.¡± The old woman immediately opened her mouth and offered the highest price she could offer. Hearing this, the other old man¡¯s face turned red with anger, and killing intent spread in his eyes. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and shouted, ¡°I bid 7.65 million¡­¡± Not only did he have to sell the Connate Mutated Fruit, but he also had to add another 1.65 million supreme-grade spiritual stones. This was simply a huge loss. When he received the ice crystal jade box from Lin Mo and saw the Ginseng King lying quietly inside, he finally felt some comfort¡­ [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Quasi-Immortal Level Divine Medicine, the Level 9 White Jade Ginseng King. ] [ Triggered 5,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Quasi-Immortal Level Divine Medicine, Chaos Snow Lotus. ] In the Inner World, a snow lotus that contained clear and turbid air appeared. As soon as it appeared, it turned a mountain peak into a snowy mountain. ¡°Eh? Has the real land has appeared in such a short time?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s consciousness entered his Inner World. He had wanted to see what the Chaos Snow Lotus looked like, but this was the shocking scene that greeted him. Originally, in the Inner World, only the Fire Spirit Lake that he had thrown in could be considered land. However, at this moment, with the Fire Spirit Lake as the center, the land was spreading in all directions. ¡°I might be able to witness a grand scene¡­¡± He muttered to himself¡­ Chapter 785 - 785 Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper 785 Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper ¡°I hope it can become a new world¡­¡± His consciousness left the Inner World, and the auction continued. This was the final item, the Quasi-Immortal Level Dao Stone of Comprehension. ¡°The Quasi-Immortal Dao Stone of Comprehension is the final treasure of this competition. I won¡¯t explain its use too much.¡± A strange stone appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s hand. When he had first obtained it, the Qilin had constantly eyed it. Because of this, she had lost her temper a few times and refused to pay attention to him. ¡°The starting price is three million supreme-grade spiritual stones. Fellow Daoists, you may begin your bidding.¡± This was the final auction, and also the key to this group of Quasi-Saints¡¯ strength increasing greatly. Due to the restriction of the ice attribute, there weren¡¯t many people bidding for the Level 9 White Jade Ginseng King. However, the Dao Stone of Comprehension before him might very well become the key to dominating the ancient battlefield in the future. Its effect was effective on everyone, including Lin Mo, who had the God Devouring Body. ¡°3.5 million.¡± As soon as the auction began, a group of Quasi-Saints stood up. Their eyes were solemn and they did not dare to be careless. It was not a good idea to snatch it from Lin Mo because they were not sure how many offensive talismans Lin Mo had. The plan now was to get the Dao Stone of Comprehension through an auction. However, among the more than twenty people who were present, who among them didn¡¯t have deep a background? Some of them were even in the Great Saint Self-Slaying Realm, so their collections were extremely rich. Now was the time to compete with their foundations. Any resource in their hands was the key to their bidding. ¡°Four million!¡± ¡°4.3 million!¡± A large group of people behind were dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground. The competition was too intense. The price of a quasi-Immortal Dao Stone of Comprehension was very high. Before this, there were Quasi-Saints who had bought other treasures and were filled with regret. This was because they would be the first to be eliminated unless they took out their treasures to exchange for supreme-grade spiritual stones with Lin Mo. Otherwise, he would have to give up on this Quasi-Celestial Dao Stone of Comprehension. However, there was one last method. Robbery was not an uncommon occurrence, and it happened often. However, snatching away a Quasi-Saint would be a little troublesome. If he was not careful, a Quasi-Saint might die. ¡°This old man has a Quasi-Immortal Grade Divine Pill that can be valued¡­¡± ¡°I have a Quasi-Immortal Herb¡­¡± ¡°Three Quasi-Immortal Grade Immortal Ore¡­¡± Many Quasi-Saints continued to bid. The price rose from a straight line at the beginning to a slow rise now. In the end, only five people were still bidding. They had already exchanged a batch of supreme-grade spiritual stones from Lin Mo, which made Lin Mo¡¯s harvest full. The Broken Moon Sword in his center of qi could not hold it in anymore. It wanted to directly swallow the three pieces of Quasi-Immortal Level ores that he had just obtained. ¡°8,310,000!¡± ¡°8,320,000¡­¡± The increase in price was very small. If Lin Mo had not reminded them that the minimum increase was 10,000, these people would probably have only increased it by a few thousand¡­ ¡°The competition is very intense. There are two fellow Daoists competing right now. The current price is 8.45 million supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡± Lin Mo struck the auction hammer once and sold it for more than eight million supreme-grade spiritual stones. This price was very high. If it was in the outside world, it would be unimaginable. Of course, in the outside world, with his strength, he was not qualified to auction Quasi-Immortal treasures. Even the auction of a Heaven-class divine medicine had to be very careful. Only those who had reached the Quasi-Saint Realm had the strength to hold the auction. ¡°8.45 million going once.¡± The first time he shouted, the entire place fell silent as they watched the two people who were still bidding. The results would be out soon. Of course, there were still some living beings who were worried that after the auction ended, there would be a huge storm spreading. The battlefield would even begin in Lin City. Even with the protection of the array formation, this city would be destroyed¡­ ¡°8.45 million going twice.¡± Lin Mo rang the auction hammer for the second time, but there was still no answer. The Quasi-Saint thought for a long time before finally shaking his head helplessly. The price was too high, and he felt a little regretful at this moment. If he had known this would happen, he would have taken out the treasure and allowed Lin Mo to take it. ¡± 8.45 million going thrice. Sold. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist. ¡± After the third knock, the auction ended. Everyone was shocked and discussions instantly erupted. In the outside world, this Dao Stone of Comprehension could only be sold for four million supreme-grade spiritual stones at most. But here, the price had actually doubled which shocked everyone. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Mo and the Quasi-Saint who had made the bid completed the transaction. At this point, although the auction had some twists and turns, it ended successfully. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Quasi-Immortal Level Dao Stone of Comprehension. ] [ Successfully triggered 7,000 times auction reward. ] [ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Quasi-Immortal Level Dao Stone of Comprehension. ] He had still been given the Dao Stone of Comprehension, which were still at the Quasi-Immortal Level. This made Lin Mo sigh. Although there were no Levels 1 to 9 in the Quasi-Immortal Level, there was still a huge gap between them. For example, the Dao Stone of Comprehension that had appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s Inner World. It was one meter tall, and there were specks of immortal qi lingering on it. One could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary. It had fallen from the sky and smashed into a barren mountain range. In an instant, Dao runes filled the air. Just one glance and Lin Mo had the urge to sit down cross-legged. ¡°The little girl should be satisfied¡­¡± He sighed helplessly. This Dao Stone of Comprehension was enough for the Qilin to cultivate and reach the barrier of the Quasi-Saint Realm in a very short time. ¡°System, transfer the auctioned spiritual stones into the Inner World,¡± said Lin Mo and put away the supreme-grade spiritual stones he had just obtained. [ Injection is successful. Obtained Quasi-Immortal Ore, Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper.] A palm-sized white iron ore appeared. This was an immortal ore that could be used to cultivate Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapons. In fact, he only needed to take a piece that was the size of a thumb and match it with ordinary iron to forge a perfect grade Heaven-class Level 9 magic weapon. With such a large piece, Lin Mo immediately had an idea. If he were to find a blacksmith and spend some materials to smith a Heaven-class Level 9 magic weapon, then auction it off¡­ ¡°That¡¯s not right. The Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper was given by the system¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly remembered that the treasures given by the system, regardless of whether it was auction returns or Inner World rebates. There would be no rebates even if you auctioned it again. Even if you cultivated it again and added new materials¡­ ¡®Duan Yue, I¡¯ll give you a portion of the benefits, just as I promised you¡­¡¯ He chuckled and transferred the Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper from his Inner World to his center of qi. ¡°Clang!¡± The sword qi in his body surged, and the moon-white longsword emitted light. In a few moves, the precious ore was cut into pieces. Duan Yue had absorbed the essence in its body, leaving behind only dregs. But even so, these dregs were still Level 3 Heaven-class ores, and could still be used to cultivate Heaven-class magic weapons. ¡°Everyone, the auction has ended. The next auction¡¯s finale treasure will be the Connate Mutated Fruit.¡± After informing everyone about the next auction, Lin Mo turned around and left under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes. ¡°Did he really eat it?¡± Some Quasi-Saints could not believe that three of such divine treasures had actually been found¡­ ¡°One more thing. If you want to fight, please stay away from Lin City,¡± said Lin Mo in a deep voice. He had already sensed several sharp murderous auras. It wasn¡¯t targeted at him, but the Quasi-Sage master who had auctioned off the Stone of Enlightenment. Chapter 786 - 786 Talisman Master Qin Ya 786 Talisman Master Qin Ya He did not want to care about this at all, nor did he have the ability to care. Unless the system gave him a mission, and the reward was at least ten million supreme-grade spiritual stones. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have taken the risk. ¡°Swoosh!¡± A powerful qi spread out. The Quasi-Saint tore open space and escaped, using a space talisman. Seeing this, all the Quasi-Saints who were present chased after him. Several creatures wanted to follow them and watch the show, but after thinking about it carefully, they decided to give up. If they really watched the battle between Quasi-Saint powerhouses, they might very well be killed by the aftershocks¡­ ¡°Are you planning to sell the treasure you just got?¡± Backstage, after confirming that it was safe, the Three Gods Sword Formation had been deactivated. Mu Yuzhu had asked this question softly. Lin Mo was the biggest beneficiary of this auction. The group of Quasi-Saints had sold their treasures to Lin Mo in order to gather supreme-grade spiritual stones. Later on, because they had wanted to snatch away the Dao Stone of Comprehension, she had not had the time to ask Lin Mo for it back. There were a few treasures among them that even she herself was very interested in. Seeing that Lin Mo wanted to sell it, she was happy, but doubts also appeared in her heart. ¡°I need a lot of supreme-grade spiritual stones to maintain the space. That¡¯s my last trump card,¡± Lin Mo chuckled. He was telling the truth. The Inner World was indeed his last trump card to save his life. Moreover, it also required a large number of supreme-grade spiritual stones. Then, he called the Qilin over. The little girl still had a poker face and refused to pay attention to him. ¡°Seriously, I told you to believe me. Look at this.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and took out the Dao Stone of Comprehension from his Inner World. A huge stone that was one meter tall appeared, and the entire hall was filled with Dao laws. ¡°Such a big piece?¡± Fang Luo and the others were shocked. The two Saint-to-be Elders of the Mu Clan were dumbfounded and eagerly eyed the Stone of Enlightenment. ¡°Wow¡­¡± The little girl also cried out in surprise and grabbed the Stone of Enlightenment, refusing to let go. She gently sniffed the immortal qi on it, and she looked completely intoxicated. Her previous complaints about Lin Mo were completely forgotten. ¡°Where did you get this?¡± Mu Yuzhu could no longer remain calm. This was too unbelievable. Such a large piece was considered top-grade even among the Quasi-Immortal level, and it was capable of allowing a Great Saint to gain enlightenment. ¡°Little friend, are you selling this?¡± The face of the Elder of the Mu Clan showed his eagerness. If Lin Mo was willing to sell it, he would buy it even if he had to empty his own collection. ¡°Impossible. This is mine. Brother Lin Mo promised me before.¡± The Qilin opened her small hand and blocked the Dao Stone of Comprehension. Lin Mo chuckled when he saw this. He stroked the little girl¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°Now you¡¯re willing to call me Brother. I wonder who was angry with me before and secretly said that I was stingy.¡± ¡°Who told you to keep it from me? When did you get this thing?¡± The Qilin stuck out her tongue and refused to lower her head. ¡°I got it from the black market. It cost me 100,000 supreme-grade spiritual tones.¡± His words shocked everyone present. They looked at Lin Mo, not knowing what to say. Was this his legendary luck? He was extremely lucky. To be able to find such a precious treasure in a random place, and the price he had paid was minuscule¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s go there again and see if we can find anymore treasures,¡± the Qilin said excitedly. Why hadn¡¯t she encountered such a good thing before? Right at this moment, she couldn¡¯t wait to try her luck. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t go. It¡¯s not safe during this period of time. You should cultivate obediently,¡± said Lin Mo as he stopped Qilin, who was about to leave. He had gone to the black market to take a look before. There were treasures available, but they were all clearly priced. He could just arrange for someone to buy it for the auction. It was not worth it to go there personally. ¡°System Mission: Invite Green Wood Garden¡¯s Enchanted Talisman Master Qin Ya to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce and become an elder.¡± [ Mission Reward: Three chances to get 100,000 times the rebate from the auction. ] As they chatted and laughed, the sound of a system notification appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. Another mission had appeared. It was to invite the woman from Green Wood Garden to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce. ¡®So her name is Qin Ya and she¡¯s a rogue cultivator?¡¯ Lin Mo thought to himself. Since the system had asked him to invite the other party to join, she was most likely a rogue cultivator. However, for some reason, he subconsciously felt that this woman named Qin Ya was not simple. The other party had an extraordinary temperament. She walked in the mortal world without fighting for anything and had no desires. It was as if she was indifferent to everything. It was very mysterious, as if there was a veil covering some secrets¡­ ¡°Next, all of you can go into seclusion in my space.¡± Lin Mo instructed Fang Luo to go back and continue his seclusion. The Stone of Enlightenment was huge and could accommodate many people. This was an opportunity that all of the core members of the Molin Chamber of Commerce should enjoy. At the same time, he looked at Mu Yuzhu and asked her what her plans were. ¡°From what you¡¯re saying, are you planning on giving up on Lin City?¡± Mu Yuzhu frowned. Was Lin City going to be abandoned just like that? ¡°Of course not. I¡¯m just taking away the core figures and giving them more resources.¡± Lin Mo directly invited Mu Yuzhu to bring her family members to the Inner World to cultivate around the Dao Stone of Comprehension. As for himself, he would walk on the outside and continuously collect cultivation resources. ¡°I appreciate your kindness. Since you intend on leaving, I¡¯ll help you take care of this Molin Chamber of Commerce,¡± said Mu Yuzhu as she shook her head. The pride in her heart prevented her from accepting the blessings from others. Even if she was interested in the resources in Lin Mo¡¯s hands, she would buy them with real money and would not ask for them. ¡°Sure. This is the formation diagram of the Three Gods Sword Formation. I¡¯ll give it to you,¡± said Lin Mo as he nodded. He had been mentally prepared for this answer. He took out a scroll and handed it over. In addition, he also gave away the three formation flags of the Three Gods Sword Formation. After all, the Mu Clan had enemies. In addition, this was Lin City, and many Quasi-Saints hated this place to the bone. With the sword formation, the pressure on Mu Yuzhu pressure would be much less. ¡°Are you just giving away this sword formation just like that?¡± Mu Yuzhu was a little surprised. The Three Gods Sword Formation was one of the best treasures she had taken a fancy to so she was very excited. However, she was at a loss as to what to do when Lin Mo was just giving it out like this¡­ ¡°After all, you¡¯re helping me guard the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Without the formation diagram, you won¡¯t be able to activate this sword formation. ¡± Lin Mo smiled. After chatting for a while, he stood up and left. There were still quite a few people in the Molin Chamber of Commerce, most of whom had fled earlier. Lin Mo did not blame them. It was just that he would not put them in any important positions in the future. This was also the reason why he kept these people. Walking out of the grand palace, Lin Mo walked on the streets. After a few twists and turns, his figure once again arrived at the entrance of Green Wood Garden. Lin Mo gently knocked on the wooden door and waited quietly. However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, the door remained closed. Qin Ya did not open the door. Inadvertently, he had pushed open the door. On the clear lake, the breeze stirred up ripples on the surface of the water. The pavilion was still the same, and the zither was still there. The only thing missing was the person playing the zither. There were carp swimming in the lake. Weeds grew everywhere, and the original antique buildings had long since been dilapidated. It was a very mysterious atmosphere. It felt like it had been thousands of years since Lin Mo had last come here¡­ ¡°But it has only been a few days¡­¡± Lin Mo was a little stunned. A few days ago, he had seen Qin Ya playing the zither here. Could everything here have been just an illusion? Chapter 787 - 787 A Wonderful Journey 787 A Wonderful Journey Lin Mo shook his head vigorously as he rejected this idea. The whole of Lin City had been built when the battlefield had opened, and so Green Wood Garden. Qin Ya had to also have been real, but the scene in front of him made him feel confused. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Mo said. He reached out to pluck the strings, but the zither was already damaged. The strings broke under the external force. ¡°Bang!¡± A crisp sound echoed in Lin Mo¡¯s ears, causing him to be in a daze. ¡°System, your mission is unreliable. Where is Qin Ya? Can you tell me?¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He did not know what to do in this situation so all he could do was ask the system for help. However, the system did not respond to his words. There was no response or notification at all. Seeing this, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he would not be able to get the reward for this mission. In the vast sea of people, where should he go to find Qin Ya? Today¡¯s matter had added many questions to his mind. This woman named Qin Ya must have an extremely terrifying secret. Suddenly, just as Lin Mo was about to turn around and leave, he caught a glimpse of the zither in the pavilion. He slapped his forehead and said in surprise,¡±Oh right, how could I forget about this function¡­¡± As he spoke, he carefully used his spiritual qi to wrap around the zither and successfully put it into the system space. Soon, the system¡¯s voice sounded. [ An ancient zither with a parasol wood body and divine silk strings. It could have been cultivated into an Immortal-Level magic weapon, but because it was not engraved with any Dao laws or runes, it could not be used as a magic weapon. ] The system¡¯s introduction was very strange, and it gave Lin Mo a fright. ¡°The Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree is a legendary divine tree. Someone was actually able to cut it down and use it to carve the body of a zither¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. It was simply unimaginable. For Qin Ya to be able to use this legendary parasol tree as a zither, how terrifying was her strength? There was also the divine silk. However, if it could be paired with the parasol tree, one could imagine how precious it was. ¡°Ugh, I was still hoping to obtain some clues¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He had not found any clues to find Qin Ya, but in the end, he had discovered another question. After hesitating for a moment, he did not put the zither back. His intuition told him that this item might be the key to finding Qin Ya. Lin Mo left the Green Wood Garden with his doubts. He walked across the street and questioned the stall owner. ¡°Lord Lin Mo, are you mistaken?¡± The peddler was very puzzled. He pointed behind Lin Mo. The latter turned around and his eyes widened in disbelief. There was no Green Wood Garden. It was a lake with a few cultivators fishing there. The gazebo, the antique buildings, and the Green Wood Garden had all disappeared. ¡°How could this be¡­¡± He found it hard to believe. He had heard from the peddler that there had always been a lake there. He had also seen Lin Mo earlier. However, Lin Mo only stared at the center of the lake in a daze. There was nothing strange about it at all¡­ ¡°It feels like a dream¡­¡± he murmured softly. He felt that it was unreal, but he firmly believed that it was true. Qin Ya had truly existed. She had once sold him a talisman. They had even met a few days ago and drank the Awakening Tea. ¡°That¡¯s right, teacups¡­¡± Lin Mo suddenly remembered that he had not searched the decaying buildings. Perhaps the teacups that Qin Ya had used to make tea were still in the room. Perhaps he could find some clues. At the thought of this, Lin Mo ignored the strange gazes of others and jumped into the lake. He dived in and soon arrived at the bottom of the lake. He looked around as traces of the Dao Law of Fate appeared. At this moment, he felt that his fate had appeared and was inextricably linked to this place. Using this connection, Lin Mo finally locked onto a place. He used his fingers as a sword and slashed down, causing a deep ravine to appear. Lin Mo dived down, and the sword light tore open the ground, bringing him deeper and deeper. Every time the sword light weakened, he would slash again. He didn¡¯t know how long he had been flying down, but Lin Mo felt like he was about to lose his way. In a trance, he opened his eyes and found himself in an empty space. He couldn¡¯t see the direction, nor could he see the light. His surroundings were empty. Unable to sense the fluctuations of the laws, Lin Mo circulated his spiritual qi. The Dao Law of Fate moved rhythmically as if guiding him forward. Just like that, Lin Mo stepped forward within the void, following the guidance of the unseen world. Not long after, Lin Mo began to feel lost and he lost his connection with the Inner World. At this moment, he truly felt fear, fear that came from the bottom of his heart. Regret, worry, and other negative emotions began to emerge. It wasn¡¯t that he was afraid of death, but it was because of the Qilin, Mao Zhu, Song Lian Xue, and the others. If he really died here, even if the Inner World opened and they could leave, this was where they would appear. The final result was still death. ¡°I¡¯ve harmed all of you¡­¡± Lin Mo laughed bitterly. He had been too careless and lacked judgment when faced with the unknown. He relied too much on the Qilin¡¯s spell technique and subconsciously believed that his fate was so good that he would be given a warning if there was any danger. Now that he was in big trouble, he couldn¡¯t find his way back. He didn¡¯t know where he was. Everything in front of him was empty and he couldn¡¯t see anything clearly. Endless darkness swallowed everything. ¡°Perhaps you shouldn¡¯t have come at this time?¡± Not long after he had gotten lost in the void, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ear. This voice was like the sound of nature, echoing in Lin Mo¡¯s ears. It was a ray of light that had come to redeem him. It filled his somewhat despairing heart with hope again. ¡°Senior Qin Ya, is that you?¡± Lin Mo said excitedly. However, no matter how he called out and asked, the voice from before did not appear again. It was as if everything was an illusion, a fantasy before his death. After a long period of time had passed, Lin Mo woke up and found himself at the bottom of the lake. The crack he had created had disappeared as if it had never appeared. [ Mission completed. Reward received. Three times 100,000 auction rebate. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded, indicating that Lin Mo¡¯s mission had been completed, making him even more confused. ¡°Are you sure? I haven¡¯t even seen her face, and I haven¡¯t even invited her¡­¡± said Lin Mo. However, the system had already gone silent, and the rebate it gave could only be used during the next auction. ¡°It just so happens that I have a few good things that I can sell¡­¡± With this thought in mind, he flew out from the bottom of the lake and went back to look for Mu Yuzhu to ask her to arrange for an auction. ¡°Where have you been for the past two months? I couldn¡¯t get in touch with you!¡± Mu Yuzhu frowned slightly. Lin Mo had left as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. He had disappeared from the world and there had been no news from him for two months. He had not been contactable in any way. She told Lin Mo that during this period, a woman of the Quasi-Saint level had come to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce. She was then puzzled because she had then disappeared after receiving the title of an Elder. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Lin Mo was shocked! Chapter 788 - 788 The World Tree Appears 788 The World Tree Appears ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mu Yuzhu was puzzled. Lin Mo had been missing for two months, but now that he was back, she felt that something was a little strange. In Lin Mo¡¯s eyes, she sensed a faint sense of vicissitudes¡­ ¡°Did that woman leave a name?¡± Lin Mo asked. Hearing this, Mu Yuzhu shook her head and told Lin Mo that the other party had wanted to join but had not asked for any benefits. She had left after telling her that, and no matter how hard Mu Yuzhu had tried, she couldn¡¯t find her. ¡°The strange thing is that I can¡¯t feel any spiritual qi fluctuations from her body.¡± This had surprised her. Usually, those who entered the battlefield by killing themselves were mostly Quasi-Saints, and only the Saints were the strongest. Although their comprehension of the laws was strong, if they were only at the Quasi-Saint level, it would not be enough to hide all the spiritual qi fluctuations in front of her. ¡°You mean, she¡¯s a Great Saint?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. At this moment, he had already confirmed that the woman was definitely Qin Ya. After all, his system mission had been completed. But how had Qin Ya known that he wanted to invite her to join them? Since she agreed, why had she left? And what was the endless darkness at the bottom of the lake? Lin Mo could not understand all the questions he had. ¡°Arrange for an auction. I will make a trip to the black market and see what good things I can get¡­¡± Lin Mo took out the few treasures in his hands and asked Mu Yuzhu to arrange the auction. As for himself, he went to the black market to find out the origin of the treasures he would obtain next. Also, he really wanted to get some treasures. Unfortunately, he spent three hours strolling around the black market and found nothing. ¡°Looks like it is not always possible to pick up a treasure¡­¡± He sighed and looked up at the sky. The last ray of sunlight had disappeared into the horizon. The auction was about to begin. ¡°Time is running out. No Quasi-Saints have appeared.¡± After entering the Molin Chamber of Commerce, the auction had just begun. Some of the early items were being competed for. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Heaven-class Level 4 divine medicine, the Wind Spirit Fruit. ] [ Successfully triggered 3,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heaven-class Level 6 divine medicine, Fiendish Wind Fruit. ] The system¡¯s voice echoed in his ears. Lin Mo walked backstage and watched the auction proceed. The auction went smoothly. No one provoked them, and no Quasi-Saint Masters came to find trouble. The only thing he regretted was that the spiritual stones obtained from the auction were not for him. Even the treasures that were auctioned in the Molin Chamber of Commerce were sent to the warehouse that was being built. These were used for the development of the Molin Chamber of Commerce and also to support the cultivation resources of those who joined the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Mu Yuzhu was the one who had arranged everything. She did not interfere when she saw this. He only wanted the last three Quasi-Immortal treasures to be auctioned at a price that he was satisfied with. That way, he could obtain the rebate in the Inner World. In addition, the 100,000 times return would definitely give him a true Immortal-level treasure. Facing the three Immortal-level treasures that he was about to obtain, he was not interested in the early offerings. ¡°Everyone, I have to say that you are very lucky because the next item to be auctioned will be a rare Quasi-Immortal treasure.¡± On the stage, the auctioneer struck the hammer and sold the treasure in front of him. Then, she smiled mysteriously and called for the servant girl to bring the silver plate over. Even though it was covered by the red cloth, the dense immortal light still shot out through the gaps. Some people watched with wide eyes. After confirming it repeatedly for themselves, they were extremely excited. This was simply a huge opportunity, a huge opportunity. Due to some special reasons, the group of Quasi-Saints had not wanted to come to Lin City, so the competition was much smaller. Many Kings who had offended Quasi-Saints had chosen to settle down in Lin City. Occasionally, they would attend auctions to see if there were any suitable cultivation resources. Unless a supreme-grade spiritual stone mine appeared outside, they did not go out and were always in seclusion. Some people also took the opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. No one had expected that they would actually encounter an auction of Quasi-Immortal Level treasures while hiding here. ¡°Ahem!¡± A dry cough was heard and a Quasi-Saint of the Mu Clan appeared. He had been present this whole time to intimidate those who wanted to cause trouble. Seeing this person, the restless King tiers put down their thoughts without daring to raise their heads. ¡°The starting price is¡­¡± The auction went smoothly. Lin Mo watched the crowd as they made their bids with interest. However, an explosion sounded at this moment. The whole of Lin City shook at this moment, shocking everyone. At the center of the ancient battlefield, countless clouds gathered and gradually formed a Dao Pillar. According to past experience, this platform was the place for the final battle of the Hidden Dragon List. All the outsiders who entered the ancient battlefield would compete to be the strongest in this arena. Those who managed to climb to the top of the world would receive generous rewards. At the same time, they would definitely reach the peak of the Absolute Saint realm in the future. Even the barrier of Emperor-to-be wasn¡¯t impossible to cross. As early as a month ago, strange sounds had already appeared here. All the living beings had guessed that the final battle would be here. However, on this day, endless heavenly lightning appeared in the sky. A bolt of heavenly lightning struck down with an explosion. The Dao Pillar condensed from the clouds collapsed and was pierced through by the heavenly lightning. The terrifying power spread, causing the entire ancient battlefield to tremble. This scene shocked all the living beings. They all looked up and saw a huge crack spreading. In the depths of the crack was endless darkness. It was like a void that was capable of swallowing everything. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Are Emperor-to-be masters fighting in the void?¡± In the outside world, the elders, sect masters, clan leaders, and other living beings of the various factions were shocked because a terrifying crack was spreading in the space in front of them. This was very terrifying. Although the crack was stable, the aura it emitted was too powerful and spread in the sky. The entire Dragon State could see this situation. Everyone was panicking, thinking that some big shot was fighting. ¡°This is the might of the heavens. The space within the Hidden Dragon List has cracked¡­¡± Absolute Saints had amazing insight and knew that this had not been caused by the Emperor-to-be battle. ¡°In that case, can we also enter?¡± Many living beings were extremely excited, and their bodies could not help but tremble. They were very excited. They knew very well what this meant. The ancient battlefield within the Hidden Dragon List contained resources comparable to the entire Northern Continent. There was even a shocking inheritance from ancient times. The divine beast Qilin¡¯s Dojo had been set up there. Whoever could manage to break it and obtain the ultimate fortune on the battlefield would have a limitless future. Over the years, countless races and forces wanted to occupy it and enjoy it alone. Unfortunately, the Hidden Dragon List was not controlled at all. They would be opened regularly and could only accommodate people below the Almighty. The Emperor-to-be and Absolute Saint masters could only watch. They couldn¡¯t break the Hidden Dragon List. But now, there seemed to be some changes in the Hidden Dragon List. A crack had appeared on the ancient stone tablet, and it was at risk of splitting into two. The spatial crack was also very eye-piercing, making people feel as if the sky was collapsing. Chapter 789 - 789 Three Immortal-Grade Supreme Treasures 789 Three Immortal-Grade Supreme Treasures ¡°Boom!¡± A creature was attacking with a Quasi-Immortal magic weapon in his hand. It was a grayish-black bone saber that emitted a cold light. The saber light slashed down, and countless spaces collapsed. Even the spiritual qi was annihilated. Such an attack made the group of Great Saints tremble in fear. The person who attacked was an Absolute Saint, and his strength was enough to crush a group of Great Saints. Furthermore, the bone blade was extraordinary. After being tempered by the Absolute Saint multiple times, it was far more powerful than a normal Quasi-Immortal weapon. ¡°Clang!¡± A terrifying explosion sounded, shocking all the living beings. The Hidden Dragon List was surrounded by countless Divine Chains of Order. The divine chains shook and shattered the saber beam. This was an attack from an Absolute Saint that could destroy spiritual qi. However, such an attack was easily blocked by the Hidden Dragon List, and the Divine Chains of Order even went berserk. It locked onto the bone blade that was swinging out the blade light. The nomological laws appeared, and it actually returned the blade and slashed at the grayish-white bone blade. ¡°Crack¡­¡± A shattering sound could be heard. The bone saber was damaged, and a fragment of the saber light was knocked off. An excellent Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon was damaged. Although it was made of bone, it had been nourished by the Absolute Saint for many years, so its quality was extremely high. It was a priceless treasure. But now, its sharp blade was broken. This was a great loss. Many living beings present felt their hearts ache. It was such a pity. This attack also alerted everyone who was present. The Hidden Dragon List was still terrifying. It was a treasure that had been left behind by the Great Emperor. It controlled a small world. Even though a crack had appeared, it was still not easy to deal with. ¡°Boom!¡± Someone else began to attack. This time, it was a human-shaped creature with a pair of lightning wings on its back. Thunder rumbled in the palm of its hand. Terrifying lightning descended. However, it did not attack the Hidden Dragon List, but the crack. It seemed to want to widen the crack so that they might be able to pass through. At that time, the secrets of the ancient battlefield would no longer be hidden. Unfortunately, the crack didn¡¯t change at all even after taking that attack. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Quasi-Immortal Level treasure, the Heaven Immortal Stone. ] [ Triggered 100,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Immortal Level treasure, the Ten Thousand Spell Stone! ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind. The first item to be auctioned off was to be the Ten Thousand Spell Stone, which was said to contain everything. Whether it was cultivating a magic weapon or fusing it into the body, it was a good choice. However, at this moment, Lin Mo was not in the mood to pay attention to the Ten Thousand Spell Stone. He was standing at the highest point of Lin City, at the top of the Molin Chamber of Commerce¡¯s main hall, looking into the distance. Over there, where the Cloud Top Arena was formed, a towering tree rose from the ground. Above the giant tree, seven fruits that were as big as the sun condensed, and their dazzling light illuminated everything. It was rooted in the void, its roots running through the ground of the battlefield. The tree trunk was extremely huge, and there were spatial laws around it. Anyone who approached it would be shrunk countless times¡­ It connected the sky and the earth, its branches pierced through the sky and extended to the outer realm, taking root in the endless sea of stars. ¡°The World Tree¡­ Didn¡¯t it leave?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. Previously, he had overestimated himself and climbed the World Tree. Fortunately, he was acknowledged in the end and obtained the Yin Yang Fruit and the Divine Fruit of Fate, both of which were world treasures. According to the description, the World Tree broke through the regional wall and flew into the boundless universe after facing the attacks of the 3,000 gods. No one knew where it had gone, and no one would have thought that it was still on the ancient battlefield¡­ ¡°A fruit is missing. Which Dao is it? ¡± Lin Mo was shocked. In the next moment, a figure appeared in his mind. She was wearing a white dress and had a faint smile on her face. He had never doubted the talent of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body Xia You. Moreover, the Heaven¡¯s Will Body had been born from the will of heaven and earth. It had been born with an affinity with the Great Dao. Among the ten most powerful Great Dao laws, fate was undoubtedly the most suitable for her. But unfortunately, the Qilin clan was the same. They were born with an affinity with the Dao Law of Fate. They were born with the ability to control this Great Dao. They had started cultivating since young and had passed it down to this day. Apart from fate, destiny and life were also very suitable for Xia You. Presumably, what she cultivated was one of them. ¡°No wonder she left without any care¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. Obtaining such a precious opportunity was comparable to obtaining the entire ancient battlefield. With such benefits, who would be willing to stay? If the Emperor-to-be were to see her when she went out, she would probably be captured and slowly cultivated into the World Fruit¡­ ¡°Is that the World Tree of the past? Compared to the current one, it¡¯s not as imposing. Is it weakening?¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s voice came from behind. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to speak. ¡°The World Tree has opened a crack. The Hidden Dragon List might be implicated.¡± ¡°I know. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion has been studying the Hidden Dragon List for many years. Perhaps they have many ways to deal with it.¡± Lin Mo nodded. He had no doubts about this. Besides, the Hidden Dragon List was related to the Northern Continent¡¯s resources. Perhaps there would be many Emperor-to-be appearing, which made him frown. It was a bit difficult. Although the Rainbow-Winged Birds were strong, it was hard to find an opponent among Absolute Saints. However, facing an Emperor-to-be, he might not even be able to withstand a single move and would be directly killed. As the cultivation progressed, the more difficult it was to fight across realms. Unless one was an extremely heaven-defying existence that surpassed all enemies in the past, present, and future¡­ ¡°I can do my best to help you on the battlefield. This can only be considered a grudge between the younger generation. It¡¯s nothing,¡± Mu Yuzhu sighed. This was the only thing she could do. It was for the same reason, Lin Mo had never entered the Mu Clan. But now, even if Lin Mo wanted to join, some of the elders of the Mu Clan would probably not agree. They had provoked too much trouble. Although the Mu family was strong, they still had an ancestor who had been sleeping for countless years. However, she was unable to compete with many forces. At least, she knew that there were several Emperor-to-be among the forces that wanted to kill Lin Mo¡­ ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll take care of it,¡± Lin Mo said with a chuckle. He had been busy with this matter. The Qilin¡¯s mother had said that he would be safe, but she had not told him the reason. She told him to think of a way himself. This made him very helpless. He could not figure out who would help him at a critical moment. Moreover, in this situation, just one force was probably not enough to suppress everyone. ¡°I hope so.¡± [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine, the Divine Fire Spirit Flower. ] [ Successfully triggered 100,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Immortal Level immortal medicine, the Parasol Flower. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind again. The second Quasi-Immortal Level treasure had been auctioned off. ¡°Parasol Tree Flower. It seems to be a fire-type flower. It is a true Immortal medicine¡­¡± Lin Mo was slightly surprised and sighed at the same time. There were too few Immortal herbs for the two Dao Laws of Yin and Yang and Fate. It was very difficult to find even those that were compatible. The Parasol Tree Flower was borne from a Parasol Tree. There was a ball of pale yellow flames at the center of the flower, and it was shaped like a real phoenix. ¡°The Phoenix-perched Parasol Tree. It would be great if I could obtain the True Phoenix Spell¡­¡± Lin Mo thought about it greedily and shook his head helplessly. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off the Quasi-Immortal Level treasure, the Blazing Fire Stone. ] [ Successfully triggered 100,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Immortal Level treasure, Phoenix Blood Pure Gold. ] A phoenix¡¯s cry echoed in the Inner World, resounding through the clouds. The third Immortal Level treasure had appeared¡­ Chapter 790 - 790 Eighth Heaven King 790 Eighth Heaven King ¡®Duan Yue, oh Duan Yue, do you like both of these good things?¡¯ With a thought, Lin Mo bid farewell to Mu Yuzhu and entered the Inner World. He had divided the place into many areas. The Fire Spirit Lake was one area, and many divine trees and divine medicines had been planted here. There were even one or two Quasi-Immortal Level immortal herbs rooted in the water. The Qilin and the others had long fallen into a deep state of enlightenment. With the help of the Stone of Enlightenment, they were cultivating quickly. On the other side was where Lin Mo received the rewards from the system and the Inner World. His thoughts connected to his qi center, and the Broken Moon Sword appeared, bursting with dazzling sword light. It had swallowed the Heaven Immortal Dao Copper and had been silent for a long time. It absorbed the essence and fused it into its body. ¡°Duan Yue, swallow this Phoenix Blood Pure Gold. Leave the Ten Thousand Spell Stone for me for a period of time,¡± said Lin Mo as he pointed ahead. Upon receiving the order, the Broken Moon Sword let out a series of sword cries. In the next moment, the thumb-sized piece of gold essence flew over and attached itself to the Broken Moon Sword. The essence in its body was absorbed into the Broken Moon Sword. Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. From Duan Yue¡¯s sword cry, he could sense that the artifact spirit was in a good mood and was very satisfied with him. After devouring the Heavenly Immortal Dao Copper and Phoenix Blood Pure Gold, the conditions for using them would be stricter. However, with the suppression of the artifact spirit, he could use it without any worries. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was that his spiritual qi had to keep up. Otherwise, even if it was the lowest consumption, he would not be able to afford it. ¡°Let¡¯s undergo a retreat¡­¡± With a thought, he left the Inner World and found Mu Yuzhu. He asked for the supreme-grade spiritual stones for the three Quasi-Immortal treasures. He did not inject these spiritual stones into his Inner World. Instead, he used them to cultivate his spiritual qi cultivation. He left behind a token to make it easier for Mu Yuzhu to contact him. He held the Ten Thousand Dharma Stone in his hand and began to cultivate in the Inner World. Surrounding them were mountains of supreme-grade spiritual stones. This was something that only the Ninth Heavenly Layer Kings and above could absorb. But against the God Devouring Body, this restriction was nothing. The spiritual stones turned into ashes. He circulated the God Devouring Art and crazily devoured the surrounding spiritual qi. Lin Mo¡¯s aura did not increase despite devouring such a huge amount of qi. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably explode and die not long after devouring the spiritual qi like this. Unfortunately, he had the God Devouring Body. There was a black hole in his body that could devour everything, including his own life force. In a day, he had devoured more than 100,000 supreme-grade spiritual stones, and his aura had risen slightly. At this moment, the outside world was extremely lively. Outside the Hidden Dragon List, Emperor-to-be were alarmed. The pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion personally appeared and attacked, triggering the power of supreme laws. This attack had caused a very terrifying outcome. All the buildings and formations of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion were destroyed. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion, which had stood here for countless years, was destroyed in a single day. Some elders felt their hearts ache, but there was nothing they could do. To begin with, they were factions from the Central Region. Naturally, now that there was an opportunity, he had to seize it. He could not miss it. At the same time, the cracks in the ancient battlefield widened, and the World Tree grew taller again. Seven fruits that were the size of suns followed the branches into the starry sky. On the battlefield, all the living beings could see was the thick tree trunk and the Divine Chains of Order hanging down from the sky. Although this was a grand scene, the surrounding living beings were all worried about one thing. The Cloud Top Arena had been destroyed by the World Tree, so how were they going to compete? Or could it be that this trip to the ancient battlefield wouldn¡¯t start the final battle? If that were the case, it would be a lifetime regret. It was a pity. ¡°No, look, the World Tree has changed¡­¡± At that moment, some creatures cried out in alarm. In the sky, a branch of the World Tree had fallen. In an instant, countless Divine Chains of Order shattered, the void collapsed, and spiritual qi surged crazily. A Chaos Dao Palace appeared on the branch. When they saw this scene, many people were shocked and widened their eyes. They felt that their worldview had been refreshed. ¡°This is a Dao Palace carved from Chaos Gems. It has supreme power¡­¡± ¡°This is too extravagant. I¡¯m afraid this Dao Palace is an Immortal Level magic weapon¡­¡± ¡°Is there a treasure in the palace? Is it some kind of compensation from the World Tree? ¡± Everyone was pleasantly surprised. The treasure given by the World Tree was definitely not simple, or even better. ¡°But, didn¡¯t the World Tree of the past dry up?¡± Someone was puzzled. There were records of the World Tree withering and collapsing during a chaotic battle. It was for this reason that the ancient era had been destroyed. Countless inheritances had been lost. Even for races with long inheritances like theirs, there had been a gap. He knew that there was an extremely glorious era where many Great Emperors presided over it. Heroes had risen up together, and thousands of clans had stood in the forest. ¡°Who knows? Besides, this isn¡¯t something we should be discussing,¡± said someone with a shrug. When it came to the World Tree, even Absolute Saints were not qualified to participate. Only Emperor-to-be could discuss and investigate. The branches of the World Tree drooped down slowly. It would take some time for it to completely descend. The surrounding Divine Chains of Order were constantly shattering, and this process was relatively long. Some of the living beings observed for a few days and determined the time. Half a year later, this news quickly spread to every corner of the battlefield. Countless living beings were desperately cultivated, and some even tried to contact the sects in the outside world through the rift. It would be best if they could attract stronger masters. They had explored many dangerous places, but they were not strong enough to explore. They could only remember the locations and think of ways to make their breakthrough. If their elders could enter this battlefield, then these opportunities would all be in their pockets. In fact, some of their enemies could even be killed by their elders. Among them, the one that attracted the most hatred and also had the most treasures was none other than the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Many people were eyeing this piece of juicy meat. At this moment, in the Inner World, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation was nearing its end. He had been in seclusion for nearly half a year. He had cultivated nearly ten million supreme-grade spiritual stones, and his realm had steadily increased. His own comprehension of the Dao Laws was also getting stronger. A Yin Yang Taiji Diagram appeared behind him, and threads of fate wrapped around him. At this moment, he was very solemn and sacred. ¡°Boom!¡± Terrifying fluctuations spread. When the last supreme-grade spiritual stone turned into ashes and the majestic spiritual qi was devoured by Lin Mo. He had accumulated a huge amount of energy in his body. His God Devouring Body burst out and devoured the other party. In a flash, his realm broke through and he reached the Seventh Sky of King Realm. This was not the end. The spiritual qi in his body was still huge, but he had only consumed a small portion. A terrifying pressure spread throughout his body, permeating his limbs and bones. His bones cracked and his meridians pulsated. Spiritual qi filled his entire body and circulated around him before flowing into the black hole in his qi center. ¡°Buzz!¡± Not long after, the spiritual qi in his body was completely devoured, and Lin Mo¡¯s body was further strengthened. His realm had also made a breakthrough once again, reaching the Eighth Sky of King Realm. After half a year of closed-door cultivation, he had broken through two realms. As a God Devouring Body, it was already very rare for him to have such achievements. He raised his head and muttered to himself. ¡°Is the final competition about to begin¡­¡± Chapter 791 - 791 Chaos Dao Palace 791 Chaos Dao Palace After informing them of this news, the Qilin and the others had also been on the verge of coming out of seclusion. However, when they saw the crack that had been opened by the World Tree, they could not help but silently exclaim in their hearts. If the World Tree really destroyed the Hidden Dragon List, this space would be completely opened. At that time, they would be in big trouble and would be easily caught. ¡°Let¡¯s go first. Let¡¯s go take a look at the opportunities left behind by the World Tree and snatch them before anything happens,¡± said Lin Mo. Because of the Dao Stone of Comprehension, the Qilin, Mao Zhu, and the others had all reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the King Realm. However, he couldn¡¯t cross the barrier of the Quasi-Saint Realm. He needed to go through many things. ¡°Buzz!¡± After a spatial fluctuation, the group appeared in a small courtyard of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. For half a year, Mu Yuzhu had been cultivating in Lin City, enjoying the opportunities of the entire city. However, due to the lack of the Stone of Enlightenment, she was only at the Eighth Sky of King Realm, just like Lin Mo. ¡°Other than your immortal sword, we might not be a match for a Quasi-Saint¡­¡± sighed Mu Yuzhu. She had already made preparations during this period of time. Just as she was about to leave, Lin Mo came out of seclusion. The current situation was a little difficult to handle. The Cloud Top Arena had been destroyed by the World Tree. Although it had dropped its branches and given away a Chaos Dao Palace, who knew if there were any restrictions inside? If there were no obstacles to a Quasi-Saint, no matter how talented they were, they would not be able to pose a threat to a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Unfortunately, our formation requires a very long time to prepare¡­¡± Fang Luo and the other two formation masters sighed. If they were given ten minutes, they could set up a Three Gods Sword Formation on the spot. However, the group of Quasi-Saints obviously wouldn¡¯t give them a chance. ¡°Speaking of which, do you know how many Quasi-Saints have come from the various forces?¡± Lin Mo looked at Mu Yuzhu curiously. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. There are one or two on the surface, but they are basically hiding something in the shadows,¡± said Mu Yuzhu as she shook her head. The situation was a little complicated, but the Divine Chains of Order around the World Tree had mostly dissipated. Recently, someone had tried to enter the Chaos Dao Palace. Although he had been ejected, he was not injured. This also meant that all creatures would be able to enter very soon. At the foot of the World Tree, cracks in space spread out in all directions. Here, the ancient battlefield¡¯s laws were ineffective against it. The shattered space could not be reconstructed, giving the outside world hope of breaking through. The Chaos Dao Palace on the hanging branch became more and more obvious. Chaotic qi spread out, making it look very mysterious. It was supported by a tree branch and stood in the air. It was surrounded by countless creatures. This was the first time the opportunity given by the World Tree had appeared. The Chaos Dao Palace alone was enough to intimidate everyone. Even if an Emperor-to-be came, he would be amazed and even try to take away a Daoist Palace. ¡°It seems like we can enter now. We should take advantage of the fact that the Quasi-Saint hasn¡¯t arrived yet. This might be our chance.¡± There was a look of anticipation in the eyes of many creatures, while some were anxious as they contacted their disciples. ¡°Fellow Daoist, why don¡¯t we join forces and split the opportunities equally?¡± ¡°I think that will be good. After all, this is the first time it has appeared. The ancient World Tree might have left behind some ancient cultivation techniques. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s very possible. Although the cultivation techniques nowadays are not necessarily weak, you have to know that there were Great Emperors in ancient times.¡± Instantly, as soon as these words were said, there were some people who could not sit still. One had to know that ancient books recorded that in ancient times, there had been more than one Great Emperor among the myriad races. He had once created countless glories and left behind an ultimate legacy. The continuation of some bloodlines had created today¡¯s top clans that no one could surpass. However, it was a pity that for some unknown reason, the world had changed and a Great Emperor could no longer be born. No matter how talented one was, they would eventually stop progressing. No one knew the reason. ¡°I don¡¯t want to wait anymore. Let¡¯s charge in and take the opportunity first.¡± Someone raised his weapon and led his men forward. His actions also caused some creatures to feel unsettled. One after another, people started to move. They didn¡¯t want to miss the opportunity. At the same time, they wanted to obtain the opportunity before the Quasi-Saint arrived. Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation came from afar. A sonic boom echoed as a young man stepped in the air. The wings on his back spread out, covering the sky. ¡°It¡¯s the Kun Peng Spell from Lin Mo. He¡¯s rushing over from Lin City,¡± exclaimed some of the creatures in shock as they recognized him. At the same time, an even more powerful aura spread out further away. As a Quasi-Saint, the timing was calculated. Many masters had come at the first moment to snatch the opportunity. ¡°Let¡¯s go in first.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand, and the Qilin, Mu Yuzhu, and the others all appeared. In addition, the Mu Clan had three Saint-to-be masters. One of them had even cultivated to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Saint-to-be Realm. This kind of strength was very powerful. With a raise of his hand, he could kill a large number of Kings. Even Lin Mo and the others didn¡¯t dare to say that they could survive one of his attacks with their own strength. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?¡± The moment the elder appeared, he frowned and looked ahead. There was a slight fluctuation in the space there. It was so subtle that even Lin Mo and the others did not notice it. ¡°What? Is the Mu Clan planning to monopolize the Kun Peng and Qilin spells?¡± ¡°There is also the God Devouring Body. This body is also very valuable.¡± ¡°Capturing a Qilin can provide a large amount of Qilin blood. These benefits are not inferior to the Chaos Dao Palace. ¡± Three people walked out from the front. They were wearing light purple robes with some special patterns on them. Other than him, there was a man in a white robe holding a golden spear. There was a kingly air that exuded from between his brows, which deterred the surrounding people from approaching him. ¡°That is Xiao Yun. What a powerful aura¡­¡± Someone was shocked. They could feel that Xiao Yun had become stronger again. ¡°There are three Hidden Dragon Pavilion elders and three terrifying existences at the third level of the Quasi-Saint realm beside him¡­¡± Some creatures were careful, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. ¡°This is too terrifying. This is as expected of the strongest force in the Northern Continent¡­¡± At this moment, everyone was horrified. Xiao Yun was naturally gifted and had obtained quite a lot of opportunities. At this moment, he was already at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the King¡¯s Realm, and he had the qualifications to break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm. With the addition of three powerful Quasi-Saints, his chances of winning this treasure hunt would be very high. ¡°Where¡¯s the Heaven¡¯s Will Body? The final battle is about to begin. Why isn¡¯t she here yet?¡± Xiao Yun¡¯s voice slowly spread. He was looking for Xia You. No one knew the outcome of their past few exchanges. It was rumored that the two of them had fought to a draw. Although this also helped him build momentum and made the world believe in his invincible legend. After all, someone who was able to defeat a Heaven¡¯s Will Body with an ordinary physique could be said to be a legend. However, only he knew that the Heaven¡¯s Will Body had her own pride. When he had fought with her, the power of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body had never been truly used. Although she had triggered the Divine Chains of Order that filled the sky, it had not been her full strength. Therefore, he had lost the battle back then. Now, he had obtained a huge opportunity and had achieved success in his cultivation technique. He had stopped Lin Mo today because he wanted to find Xia You and have another battle. Chapter 792 - 792 Peak Duel 792 Peak Duel ¡°You think you can fight with Sister Xia You? Dream on.¡± The Qilin was somewhat dissatisfied and bluntly stated that Xiao Yun was not worthy of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body Xia You stepping forward to fight. ¡°Impudent!¡± The three Saints-to-be from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion shouted at the same time. Their roars were like thunder. It mixed with the sound of the Dao and hurt everyone¡¯s eardrums. The elder of the Mu Clan raised his hand and an invisible barrier appeared, blocking the roar. However, he was forced to take a step back, and his expression gradually became solemn. Because there were more Quasi-Saints coming from further away, the scene gradually became chaotic. The group of people who had set off first had already been intercepted and stopped. With so many Quasi-Saints present, the opportunities in the Chaos Dao Palace were basically not meant for ordinary people like them. ¡°Let the Heaven¡¯s Will Body come out. I want to fight her fairly!¡± Xiao Yun said coldly. He was holding the golden spear in his hand and pointed it at Lin Mo and the others. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that she has already left. If you want to fight her, you can go to the Central Continent,¡± said Lin Mo with a chuckle. Xia You had left a long time ago. Moreover, he was basically certain that Xia You must have obtained a World Fruit. With the cultivation speed of the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, refining a World Fruit would probably make him a Quasi-Saint. ¡°What did you say?¡± Xiao Yun frowned. Even the others looked at Lin Mo in confusion. The ancient battlefield of the Hidden Dragon List had countless resources. The final competition would soon begin, and the winner would receive the most precious reward. The lowest of them was an Immortal treasure. In the entire Northern Continent, even if there were Immortal treasures, there were less than a handful. As a Heaven¡¯s Will Body, she had a very good chance of obtaining this opportunity. But why had she cut herself off and left? Could it be that something unexpected had happened during her cultivation, causing her to go berserk and die? And Lin Mo was just trying to explain¡­ ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± Many creatures shook off this ridiculous thought. That was the Heaven¡¯s Will Body, which inherited the will of heaven and earth and was born specifically for cultivation. It was naturally close to the Great Dao and could not go berserk. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations came from afar. Another group of people had arrived. ¡°Xiao Yun, since the Heaven¡¯s Will Body is not here, why don¡¯t I fight you instead?¡± A charming laughter was heard as Tang Ru walked out of the spatial crack. She was wearing golden armor and looked valiant, attracting the attention of countless people. Beside her were three old men. They were all Quasi-Saints with strong auras. Two of them had reached the Third Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. ¡°Hehe, how lively. How could my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan miss such a grand occasion?¡± A white-robed man came along with the voice. He held a folding fan in his hand and had fair skin. He had an appearance that made countless women envious. ¡°So that¡¯s Young Master White Fox?¡± Lin Mo said softly. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was one of the top clans in the Demon State. Even in the entire Northern Continent, it was ranked among the best. Young Master White Fox chuckled when he sensed the hostility from his surroundings. He opened his folding fan and fanned it gently as he said, ¡°You guys take your time. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± As he spoke, he led his men towards the Chaos Dao Palace to fight for opportunities. Seeing this scene, how could the others still sit still? Everyone began to mobilize. The tense atmosphere disappeared and was replaced by madness. The final battle had begun. Countless creatures swarmed forward and flew towards the Chaos Dao Palace. This time, there were no obstructions, and people entered smoothly. After some calculations, Lin Mo couldn¡¯t help but sigh. There were too many Quasi-Saints. Ninth Heavenly Layer Kings were nothing. ¡°Although our clan is not weak, we did not allow the Quasi-Saints to follow us in¡­¡± Zhao Tianyu and Feng Tian sighed and shook their heads helplessly. This was also the division of power between the various forces in the Northern Continent. Naturally, those who dared to send a Quasi-Saint in were not weak. Even if they offended someone, they were not afraid of revenge. On the other hand, the Zhao Clan, the Feng Clan, and some weaker clans only dared to let their juniors in. ¡°There is a Quasi-Saint in the Snow Valley, but it is useless¡­¡± Song Lianxue also sighed. The Snow Valley¡¯s decline, coupled with the fact that the Ice Imperial Sect was eyeing them covetously, meant that they wouldn¡¯t make any big moves. ¡°All of you can go to my Inner World. Don¡¯t throw your lives away in vain¡­¡± Lin Mo kept the four of them in his Inner World to ensure their safety. Not far away, Tang Ru and Young Master White Fox were engaged in a fierce battle. The two clans seemed to be holding some grudges. They had only just entered and the battle was already about to begin. What made Lin Mo glad was that there were too many Quasi-Saints who had entered, causing them to balance each other out. No one dared to take the lead. On the contrary, those below the Quasi-Saint level were engaged in a fierce battle. Upon entering the Chaos Dao Palace, people could see some special patterns that seemed to be able to be comprehended. In addition, there were some precious ores, all of which were treasures. This caused a commotion and caused a great battle to erupt one after another. ¡°God Devouring Body Lin Mo, come and fight!¡± Xiao Yun had come up with a Quasi-Saint and challenged Lin Mo. He was stubborn and had originally planned to fight the Heaven¡¯s Will Body in the final battle to determine the winner. In the end, he had failed, and the arena was gone. This made him feel depressed, so he went to find Lin Mo because the other party had the God Devouring Body, a physique that was just as famous as the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll fight you,¡± said Lin Mo as he walked out with the War Demon Spear in his hand. He stopped the Qilin, who wanted to fight, and handed the Broken Moon Sword to her as he told her to protect herself. There were too many Quasi-Saints around. If someone launched a sneak attack, neither he nor the Qilin would be able to withstand such an attack. In the next moment, the two of them fought, and specks of primal chaos energy surrounded them which came from the Chaos Dao Palace. This time, everyone was boiling with excitement. Were the two peerless geniuses about to start a battle? ¡°It¡¯s a little unfair. Lin Mo is an Eighth Heavenly Layer King. He should let the Qilin fight¡­¡± Some creatures were not very satisfied. They didn¡¯t like the Hidden Dragon Pavilion to begin with, and now that they saw that Xiao Yun had brought a Quasi-Saint to threaten them, they were even more disdainful. The shocking battle began. No one dared to get close to the two of them. Both of them used powerful methods. Only now did Lin Mo know that the Dao Law that Xiao Yun cultivated was actually the Dao of Creation. He was also very compatible with the Dao Law of seizing the good fortune of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, he had been suppressed miserably when facing Xia You, who had the Heaven¡¯s Will Body. Lin Mo used the Yin Yang Dao Law and the two supreme Dao Laws clashed. The sky darkened and the sun and moon dimmed. Not far away, Tang Ru and Young Master White Fox were still fighting. The confrontation between the four top masters was unprecedented. At the same time, it also made up for the regrets in people¡¯s hearts. Although the World Tree had destroyed the arena, they were still able to see the battle between the top masters. There were no Quasi-Saints involved. This seemed to form a tacit understanding, and everyone stopped fighting. They were watching this fierce battle and wanted to know who would be able to walk to the end and become the true King. ¡°Woohoo!¡± With a strange roar, the space shook as Xiao Yun gave a punch with terrifying power. The Dao of Creation and the Yin Yang Dao Law collided, and the two forces dissipated everything. The phenomenon between the two was shocking. It was as if two gods were fighting. It was unimaginable. ¡°Is that all?¡± Lin Mo sneered. At this moment, some purple scales grew out of his arms, turning them into Qilin arms. Chapter 793 - 793 Water Conservancy and All Things Dont Fight 793 Water Conservancy and All Things Don¡¯t Fight After mastering the Qilin Art technique, he could transform into a Qilin, like a true divine beast. He charged forward and smashed down with both arms. The surging force made the space creak until finally, cracks began to appear. It had to be known that this was the space of the Chaos Dao Palace. It was maintained by the chaotic qi, but it still cracked and could not withstand it. Everyone was stunned and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief. Who could withstand such terrifying power? ¡°I¡¯ll give you the same thing. This is not enough!¡± Xiao Yun shouted. The armor on his body rustled. At this moment, his entire body was blooming with golden light, as if he had cultivated an indestructible golden body. With a thought, a huge figure appeared behind him. The golden light became even more intense. It was the shadow of an ancient god. It looked solemn and its aura was like a huge wave that surged over. ¡°Boom!¡± The Qilin arm collided with him. This attack pierced through the heavens and the earth. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The chaotic qi in the Chaos Dao Palace was stirred up. Dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. The battle between the two peak Dao Laws had caused a change that shocked everyone. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this was the Chaos Dao Palace, the entire palace would have been carved out of Chaos Ore. In fact, it was very likely that it had been formed naturally, nurtured by the World Tree. It was not an exaggeration to call it an Immortal Level magic weapon, so it would not cause any problems because of the battle between the two kings. However, the shaking also shocked many people. One after another, the spectators retreated. What kind of battle was this? It had actually caused such a huge commotion. At the same time, in the distance, the battlefield between Young Master White Fox and Tang Ru was shifting. The battlefields on both sides gradually merged and finally formed a chaotic battle. In the end, the Qilin was also forced to join the battlefield. A Quasi-Saint from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan came forward and forced her to enter. This was exactly what she wanted. After entering the arena, she immediately joined forces with Lin Mo to suppress Xiao Yun. The scene gradually became chaotic as a chaotic battle began. More and more people joined the battle. Mu Yuzhu was also involved. There were also masters from other clans. What was surprising was that all the Quasi-Saints were watching the battle with interest. This was a subconscious tacit understanding. They wanted to see who would be left standing at the end of the battle between the top masters. ¡°How did he die? Where¡¯s the jade talisman? Why didn¡¯t it manifest?¡± A Quasi-Saint suddenly roared, his eyes about to pop out of his head. His master had been killed, and his jade talisman had fallen and lost its effect. ¡°This is the Chaos Dao Palace, the territory of the World Tree. The jade talisman condensed by the Hidden Dragon List has lost its effectiveness¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He met up with the Qilin and consciously moved closer to Mu Yuzhu. At the same time, he had some doubts in his heart. There were treasures everywhere in the Chaos Dao Palace, and it was very likely that unimaginable treasures were hidden there. However, this group of Quasi-Saints seemed to be possessed and merely watched as their disciples fought. Even until he died in battle, he did not have any intention of making a move. The scene suddenly became strange, forcing them to band together. In the distance, Young Master White Fox had gathered a group of people to defend one area. Tang Ru did the same. As for Xiao Yun, he slaughtered in all directions, injuring masters one after another. His bravery was unstoppable. At this moment, he was like an invincible god, killing everyone in all directions. Because Lin Mo and the others had retreated, he became invincible. ¡°It¡¯s desire, but it¡¯s also obsession. Once you let go of everything, you¡¯ll be able to see through it.¡± Mu Yuzhu¡¯s voice rang in his ears. A cold feeling assaulted them, and the power of the Great Dao of Water enveloped them. A layer of water enveloped them, and Lin Mo took the opportunity to see the situation outside. All the treasures he had seen before had disappeared. What was left was incomparably turbid chaotic qi. ¡°There is no competition for water resources. I do not have anything that I particularly want. It just so happens that I have broken the situation¡­¡± Mu Yuzhu said softly. Everyone had fallen for it after entering the Chaos Dao Palace. Unknowingly, they had been affected by their desires. She didn¡¯t know about Tang Ru and Young Master White Fox, but she knew about Xiao Yun¡¯s desires. Being the strongest of the Northern Continent¡¯s younger generation meant that he was prideful. After experiencing a sense of defeat at Xia You, it had become an obsession, which was why he had challenged Lin Mo after entering this place. Lin Mo, on the other hand, had a deep obsession with cultivation resources because of his God Devouring Body. This was also why he was suspicious as to why the group of Quasi-Saints was not going after the cultivation resources. These resources were just an illusion of his obsession¡­ ¡°That was close. Even if it was an opportunity given by the World Tree, it would have been filled with danger¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. He had finally witnessed the terror of the World Tree. Thinking about it, luck had played a large part in him obtaining the Yin Yang Fruit and the Fruit of Fate back then¡­ Lin Mo avoided the battle while Tang Ru and Young Master White Fox observed. Xiao Yun quickly reacted and her expression darkened. He looked at Lin Mo coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent. At the same time, more and more people realized that something was wrong, and more and more people stopped. The battlefield quieted down. All the younger generation members stopped fighting. Some of them fled immediately, not daring to stay in the Chaos Dao Palace. Some fled to their Quasi-Saints to seek protection. ¡°What a terrifying technique. We actually fell for it¡­¡± said someone softly. There were even some who wanted to make a move to see what secrets were hidden in the Chaos Dao Palace¡­ Just then, the crack in the sky outside the Chaos Dao Palace widened and the World Tree trembled. Branches fell from the Chaos Dao Palace and crashed heavily onto the ground. When it merged with the space of the ancient battlefield, some living beings sensed that the jade talisman could be used again. ¡°Look, the World Tree is leaving¡­¡± People exclaimed. ¡°Crack!¡± A huge crack spread and was finally completely broken by the World Tree. Its roots were pulled out of the void. With a buzz, the World Tree that had covered the sky disappeared. The space of the ancient battlefield had suffered a devastating blow and would be difficult to recover from. At the same time, there were also masters attacking from the outside world. They wanted to enter the battlefield and seize opportunities. At the same time, in the Chaos Dao Palace. In the deepest part, as the World Tree left, the surrounding chaotic air gathered and formed a door. A suction force came from the door. White light shone and enveloped Lin Mo, the Qilin, Young Master White Fox, Xiao Yun, and Tang Ru. Following the guidance, the five of them flew toward the door. This power was irresistible. Some Quasi-Saints wanted to stop it, but they couldn¡¯t. That was the power condensed from the chaotic qi. It was not something that a Quasi-Saint could break. ¡°B*stard, come back to this old man¡­¡± An old man roared angrily. His face was filled with unwillingness as he circulated his spiritual qi and mobilized his laws to attack the door. Other masters also began to make their moves. The three Quasi-Saints from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion were targeting Lin Mo and Qilin. The Saint Blood Flood Dragon Race and the Nine-Tailed Fox Race were fighting and interfering with each other. Xiao Yun was also attacked by many Quasi-Saints. However, all of this was futile. This power could not be resisted or stopped¡­ Chapter 794 - 794 Intimidating the Heroes 794 Intimidating the Heroes ¡°Stop them, quick!¡± A Quasi-Saint roared. Some people were unwilling and roared at the sky. They felt that it was very unfair. They had cut their cultivation levels to enter just because of the opportunity in front of them. However, only these five juniors had gotten it. This was very unfair¡­ ¡°Why?¡± More and more people attacked from behind. All of them were at the Quasi-Saint Realm and held magic weapons. For a moment, the scene was completely chaotic. All kinds of martial arts techniques were in chaos, and countless creatures transformed into their true forms. This scene shocked everyone because they saw more than a hundred Quasi-Saints. Normally, the appearance of one was enough to make the world tremble. However, there was now a large number of them. All kinds of powerful martial arts techniques and forbidden divine powers were used. ¡°Hold your head high!¡± A palm-sized scale appeared. Tang Ru was the first to fight back. The small scale emitted the might of a terrifying dragon. ¡°That¡¯s the reverse scale of a true dragon. Don¡¯t touch it!¡± The Qilin reminded Lin Mo to be careful. Dragon scales were strong to begin with, let alone reverse scales. It was said that there was the remnant will of a true dragon inside, which could erupt with supreme power. ¡°Boom!¡± The Quasi-Saint who blocked the attack was forced back. Cracks appeared in the surrounding space. It was caused by the collision of the two forces. ¡°Use the Immortal sword,¡± said the Qilin as she returned the Immortal sword to Lin Mo. At the same time, purple light spread behind her, and an ancient tree appeared. One could vaguely see the faint shadow of a Qilin on it. After so many years, she had used the ancient Qilin tree again. The Quasi-Saint who attacked him immediately retreated and didn¡¯t dare to touch her. The divine tree lowered the Qilin pattern and enveloped her body. Apart from that, Young Master White Fox and Xiao Yun also used their techniques. Although they were not as strong as the Quasi-Saints, they could not chase after them. However, even the Quasi-Saints present didn¡¯t dare to resist the burst of sharpness and could only be forced back. ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± Lin Mo slashed down with his Immortal sword. Sword light burst out and repelled a Quasi-Saint. He was one step closer to the door. ¡°Fellow Daoists, please help me intercept this person and share the two supreme inheritances.¡± The people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion attacked. They gathered a group of people and did not stop others. They even let the Qilin off. Only Lin Mo, who was an itinerant cultivator and had no background, had the Kun Peng Bone Spell and the Qilin Spell. Even Emperor-to-be would be tempted by these two ultimate inheritances. After weighing the pros and cons, many Quasi-Saints attacked Lin Mo. The other Quasi-Saints also joined in. They already understood that it was impossible to stop all of them. Whether it was the True Dragon¡¯s Reverse Scale or the Ancient Qilin Tree, they were not something they could break through. Only the Immortal sword in Lin Mo¡¯s hand could block the light of the sword and consume a large amount of Lin Mo¡¯s spiritual qi. ¡°Kill them!¡± Hundreds of Quasi-Saints reached a consensus and attacked together from all directions, not leaving Lin Mo any way out. ¡°Brother Lin Mo!¡± In the distance, the Qilin was shocked. He wanted to make a move, but the white light that was guiding her did not allow him to escape. She wanted to throw out the Ancient Qilin Tree to help Lin Mo. However, Xiao Yun, who was not far away, was eyeing her like a tiger eyeing its prey. In addition, the expressions of Young Master White Fox and Tang Ru also changed. Once she lost the protection of the Ancient Qilin Tree, she might be captured by the three of them. Lin Mo let out a long roar. He wielded the Broken Moon Sword and swung it to block the attacks of many Quasi-Saints. Fortunately, the Broken Moon Sword had absorbed many precious materials and its quality had increased by a large margin. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand such an attack. The sword light dissipated, and the Quasi-Saint attacked again, trying to disperse the guiding light on Lin Mo¡¯s body. If it wasn¡¯t for the Broken Sword Moon in his hand, this group of people would probably have succeeded long ago. ¡°Haha, you should leave.¡± Behind him, Xiao Yun made a move. A special talisman appeared in her hand. She infused it with spiritual qi and threw it at Lin Mo. In an instant, Lin Mo felt the spiritual qi in his body being blocked. The Broken Moon Sword, which was originally as flexible as an arm, was now somewhat difficult to control. ¡°Now!¡± The three elders of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion roared. The opportunity had come. They were very close and had a great chance to intercept Lin Mo. He could even snatch the Immortal sword from his hand. At that time, Lin Mo would be powerless to turn the situation around even if he had the means to do so. As long as they waited for the Qilin to come out and take him down, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion would become the biggest winner of this year¡¯s Hidden Dragon List. The other Quasi-Saints also understood this logic and attacked Lin Mo. This instantly made things worse for him. He was unable to dodge the martial arts attacks that came one after another, and his life would be in danger¡­ ¡°Sigh¡­¡± He sighed softly. The situation before him no longer allowed him to hide anything. Two talismans appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s palm. Spirit qi was injected into the golden talisman, forming a protective barrier around Lin Mo. Countless terrifying attacks came. The golden talisman flickered continuously, and a crack actually appeared. Lin Mo was shocked. There were too many Quasi-Saints attacking him. This Heaven-class Level 9 defensive talisman had consumed more than half of its qi. If the same attack was used again, the barrier would be broken. Unfortunately, Lin Mo would not give them a chance. He raised his hand, and a dark red talisman flashed. It was another talisman. The Level 9 Heaven-class attack talisman exploded. The bodies of the few Quasi-Saints closest to him were torn apart, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread. The three Quasi-Saints from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion were the first to bear the brunt. Two of them were torn apart and died completely. The last one was lucky and his attack was blocked for an instant. It was also at this moment that he was able to escape and quickly leave the attack range of the talisman. Even so, his back was covered in blood. His life was not in danger, but he was still seriously injured. ¡°Heavens¡­¡± Someone screamed in pain. Because his Quasi-Saint had been killed, there was no body left. The dark red talisman exploded and destroyed everything. ¡°How is this possible? Why does he have so many talismans of this level¡­¡± Many creatures let out indignant roars. That had been their last chance. They had lost it just like that, and they had suffered heavy losses. Lin Mo¡¯s attack had killed more than a dozen Quasi-Saints, and the rest had suffered serious injuries. If they didn¡¯t recuperate quickly, they might fall very ill. It was even possible that he would never be able to cultivate again in his life and could only stop at this realm. If that were really the case, it would be even more unbearable than killing them. ¡°If I don¡¯t have any stronger talismans with me, why would I auction them off?¡± Lin Mo said coldly. A single strike that forced back the heroes was the true suppression of the battlefield. At this moment, he looked down on the world with disdain, and no one was his match. No one dared to provoke them, even if some Quasi-Saints still had the strength to fight. However, no one knew if he still had any talismans on him. No one was willing to die. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± Lin Mo shouted. He caught up from behind and rushed into the door under the guidance of the light. In an instant, heaven and earth shook. The Chaos Dao Palace shook and cracked open. Under everyone¡¯s shocked gaze, it completely exploded. Countless shards scattered in all directions and disappeared into the distance. All the creatures went crazy. Those fragments were Chaos Ore, and a palm-sized piece was comparable to a Quasi-Immortal treasure. With so many fragments having scattered, they just had to get some no matter what¡­ Chapter 795 - 795 The Origin of the Hidden Dragon List 795 The Origin of the Hidden Dragon List ¡°Crack!¡± At the same time, the sound of space shattering spread to every corner of the battlefield. With the help of the crack created by the World Tree, the Hidden Dragon List did not defy the heavens in the end. The crack expanded, and an utmost powerful being entered¡­ ¡°The Hidden Dragon List that has stood tall in the Northern Continent for countless years has finally been broken¡­¡± Someone sighed. The Northern Continent had one less miracle. Some people were also happy that their sects were about to enter. They could then explore some of the dangerous places they had found. ¡°Rumble!¡± Countless rays of light fell from the horizon. The space of the ancient battlefield shattered, and order collapsed. From this moment on, it had officially merged with the Northern Continent. It was no longer an independent world. The rules and order of the Northern Continent were integrated into it, bringing about a shocking change. Some of the ignorant demon beasts were stunned, and a trace of clarity gradually flickered in their eyes. That was the precursor to the birth of intelligence. In addition, there were many dangerous places. Some monsters that should not have existed were destroyed by the laws of heaven and earth at this moment. A terrifyingly powerful demon beast broke through the barrier in one fell swoop and reached the realm of a Saint. The Heavenly Tribulation appeared and a brilliant heavenly might descended. This unprecedented commotion stunned everyone. The rogue cultivators were helpless. They weren¡¯t able to compete and were thinking of ways to escape. Some of the people who had inherited their sects were delighted. They lacked talent and combat strength, but with the support of their sects, they could enter the arena again. Other than that, there were also powerful clans like the Ice Imperial Sect and the Behemoth Clan. They beat their chests and stamped their feet. It was too late. They were one step too late. The Chaos Dao Palace had been destroyed. If it was just a few pieces of Chaos Ore, it would not be enough for them to use the entire sect¡¯s strength to explore. The door that Lin Mo and the others entered had to have great benefits. ¡°Yu Zhu, you didn¡¯t go in?¡± An old man cried out in surprise as he looked at a woman with a face full of disbelief. They were from the Mu family. They were full of hope for Mu Yuzhu and felt that she would definitely be one of the strongest in the future. Who would have thought that she would not be among the people who entered the door to fight for the final opportunity¡­ ¡°You can fight for the opportunity given by the World Tree, but you can¡¯t force it!¡± Mu Yuzhu said as she shook her head. She had also tried to communicate with the door so that she could enter. Unfortunately, she had failed. She could only give up and watch from afar. ¡°How is this possible? Is that God Devouring Body¡¯s cultivation speed so fast?¡± In the distance, some masters exclaimed in disbelief. They weren¡¯t juniors, so naturally, they knew more. With the God Devouring Body¡¯s current level, it would be difficult to improve further. They needed to devour a huge amount of resources, and these resources could even be forcefully used to create a Saint. Just then, Lin Mo and the other three arrived at a void region within the closed door. All he saw was darkness and a familiar feeling. Lin Mo¡¯s face was filled with shock. When he was looking for Qin Ya, he had once been to a land of nothingness that seemed to be the depths of the universe. It was also like in the Chaos Sea, where one could not see any hope. ¡°The Chaos Sea? That can¡¯t be right. We¡¯ve left the ancient battlefield?¡± The Qilin cried out in surprise, feeling very happy. Lin Mo¡¯s Inner World contained all the assets of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, including the core members. If this really was the Chaos Sea, that meant that they would be free. Now was the time to find a random continent, see which state it was, and use the teleportation portal to leave the Northern Continent. At that time, no matter how powerful the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was, they would not be able to cross the entire continent to pursue them endlessly. ¡°That¡¯s not right. This is still the ancient battlefield. Let¡¯s move forward. ¡± Lin Mo shook his head. His hunch wasn¡¯t wrong. He had been to this place before, but it was different this time. Previously, he had lost his way because it had not been time to open it. Now that they had entered according to the rules, they would not lose their way and would be able to find their own opportunities. ¡°No, look ahead¡­¡± The Qilin suddenly pointed ahead. In the boundless Chaos Sea, deep within the darkness, a gentle light appeared. The surroundings were no longer dark. Light appeared and gradually expanded. Divine lotus flowers bloomed in the Chaos Sea. Their petals floated down and floated in the air, bringing with them pure spiritual qi. In addition, there was also immortal qi rippling around the five of them. It was as if they were the protagonists of this world at this moment. Lin Mo closed his eyes and felt a strange sensation. A sigh of a supreme expert seemed to come from the Chaos Sea, but it also seemed to be a low roar of unwillingness. There were also endless shouts and shouts. He saw battles. Images appeared in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. He saw countless creatures fighting, but strangely, Lin Mo could not see what the enemy was. He could only see that it was a very tragic battle. Some living beings had their heads cut off and their bodies exploded. They seemed to have been swallowed by something. In the end, nothing was left except skeletons. Going into another trance, he saw blood falling from the sky, black gas erupting from the ground, and thunder was born from it. ¡°Countless strange phenomena are happening. Great Emperors are dying, and countless Emperors-to-be are passing away¡­¡± Lin Mo murmured. It was as if he was talking in his sleep, but also as if he was experiencing it personally. It was very strange. He saw the fall of a part of history and also saw the divine beast Qilin. She was leaning all the spirits and fought to the death. ¡°Where are the enemies? What does he look like?¡± Lin Mo was a little anxious. The scene in his mind only showed him the tragic scene, but it did not tell him who the enemy was. He had seen omnipotent masters fall, but no one was his match. They saw many top experts working together to refine a large area of space and gather the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. In the end, it was sealed in a stone tablet and placed under a piece of land. ¡°Is this the origin of the Hidden Dragon List¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. It was no wonder that it was still so terrifying even after so many years. The laws in its body were something that even a Quasi-Emperor could not surpass. It had been created by many great emperors. It should have surpassed the Immortal level. Unfortunately, because of the World Tree, it was still half-destroyed and could not heal itself. Perhaps in the future, it would gradually die out until the space collapsed and the battlefield would completely disappear¡­ ¡°Perhaps only a Great Emperor can repair it¡­¡± With a sigh, the image in Lin Mo¡¯s mind disappeared. It still had not told him what the enemy was. Was it because it did not want future generations to come into contact with him too early, or did it not have the heart to tell him the truth? For some reason, Lin Mo felt a sense of loss and helplessness. He suddenly felt that he had lost hope in the future. This was his experience after witnessing these scenes. ¡°Looking back at the past, there is only a bloody fog. Looking into the future, there is only chaos. There is no hope. In the end, there will be nothing left¡­¡± In a trance, he heard a sigh from the Chaos Sea. It was very gentle and filled with despair. After regaining his senses, Lin Mo was instantly horrified. What exactly was this so-called enemy? It had actually destroyed an era¡­ If it came back again, could the current masters stop them? Five rays of light hung down from the sky. Divine light pervaded and enveloped them. A golden path extended. Lin Mo took the lead. Once they stepped on it, they wouldn¡¯t have to walk. This path would lead them forward. Chapter 796 - 796 Nine Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein 796 Nine Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein The surroundings were still empty. Ahead of him were the depths of the primordial chaos, with no end in sight. Looking around, Lin Mo did not find anything useful. Otherwise, he could have thrown it into the Inner World and let the system appraise it¡­ Not long after, something appeared in front of them. The golden road had sent them to an unfamiliar place. The small group of people walked down and looked ahead. The surroundings were still surrounded by chaotic qi. This place was like a platform that was rooted in the Chaos Sea. When they saw the items on the platform, they were shocked and somewhat in disbelief. There were hundreds of light orbs in front of him, each of them emitting a terrifying aura. It was extremely shocking. Using the Eye of Martial Arts, they could see the treasures that were inside clearly. There were scrolls, stones, immortal medicine, and even a small world. ¡°Is this the final fortune? Even the weakest treasure is at the Immortal Level¡­¡± The Qilin was shocked. She had just spotted an immortal pill. It had nine colors and just a glance at it made her soul throb. She had a hunch that if she could just eat it, she would be able to rise to the next level. In the future, she might really be able to reach her mother¡¯s level. ¡°How does that small world compare to my Inner World?¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. There were too many treasures in this place, and they were all rare treasures. ¡°I think I saw it¡­ The True Dragon Technique!¡± Tang Ru muttered to herself. What she said shocked everyone and they looked at her in disbelief. ¡°Great Creation, I saw more than one Elixir of Creation¡­¡± Xiao Yun muttered to himself. This was in line with his Great Dao and could speed up his comprehension of the Dao Law. In fact, if he could obtain it and consume just one pill, he would definitely make a breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint Realm within a year. ¡°It seems that I can only take one light ball¡­¡± Lin Mo said softly. The scene in front of him reminded him of the Dao Seeking Garden in the Eastern Continent. That was an opportunity that had been left for future generations. Back then, the artifact spirit of the Dao Seeking Garden had not allowed him to take it all away. The current situation was probably the same. Each person could only take one item, which was enough to benefit them for the rest of their lives. ¡°I will definitely choose the True Dragon Technique. How many of you want to compete with me?¡± Tang Ru stood up first. She walked forward and instinctively came to a light ball. Under the gazes of the few people, she stretched out her hand. In the next moment, her body froze to the spot. Runes filled the sky from the ball of light and enveloped her. ¡°I remember now. In my inherited memories, there is such an Immortal pill. It¡¯s a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. After consuming it, one will have heaven-defying good fortune¡­¡± the Qilin exclaimed. She finally remembered what effect this Immortal pill had. It was a treasure that was hard to come by. Even her mother had not gotten the chance to take it when she was young. If she could obtain it, her future growth would be extremely fast. Coupled with the fact that she had control over her own fate, she would definitely grow into an unstoppable giant. ¡°Think carefully and choose the one that suits you the most,¡± Lin Mo reminded. Ignoring Xiao Yun and Young Master White Fox, he pulled Qilin forward and began to observe them one by one. Since he could only take one away, he had to choose carefully. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life. As if they had sensed something, Xiao Yun and Young Master White Fox had chosen the treasure that they had taken a fancy to first. They felt that it was the most suitable treasure. ¡± I¡¯ll choose the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. Brother Lin Mo, you should choose as well. There might be a time limit¡­¡± Qilin and Lin Mo walked around. In the end, she chose the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill and swallowed it. She sat cross-legged in the light and began to comprehend the effects of the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. ¡°I¡¯m a little conflicted¡­¡± Seeing that the four of them had made their choices, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly. He saw many good things. He even saw the Vermilion Bird spell technique and the True Phoenix spell technique. Both of them tempted him. However, with his current strength, taking care of two supreme inheritances was already his limit. Even if there were more, he still wouldn¡¯t be able to cultivate it. He could only wait until he became a Supreme Saint or even an Absolute Saint. ¡°What is in this small world? Why did I choose it first?¡± Lin Mo returned to his original spot. That¡¯s right, he had a feeling from the beginning that this small world was the best for him. However, he already had an Inner World. What would happen if he had one more? After hesitating for a long time, Lin Mo finally made his choice. This place had been left behind by the World Tree, and it was also the work of the Great Emperor of that era. There was no need to fool himself. Since it was the most suitable for him, there had to be a reason for it. As soon as he came into contact with it, Lin Mo felt that his consciousness was connected to a space. He subconsciously kept it in his Inner World. However, in the next moment, the space he had just obtained collapsed. ¡°Rumble!¡± In the Inner World, nine white dragons flew out from the collapsed space. They were made of Immortal energy and were quite lifelike. ¡°Crash!¡± The white dragons roared and shuttled through space. Without the restraints of space, Lin Mo could not control them. [ A Nine-Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein is rare in this world. It requires extremely special conditions to be born naturally.] [ Cultivating in the dragon vein will reduce the flow of time by half, making it easier to comprehend the Dao. It contains 3,000 Great Dao and was able to nourish the innate soul. ] The system¡¯s voice rang out, and Lin Mo was shocked. This plane was too terrifying. He had two congenital lifeforms by his side, a rare congenital beast, the Radiant Fire Demon, and the only divine beast in the world, the Qilin. If the news of the Nine Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein was leaked, he would not only be wanted in the Northern Continent. Perhaps even the strongest families in the Central Region would cast their eyes on him. ¡°Fortunately, I alone can dominate everything in the Inner World¡­¡± Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was already thinking about how to auction off this Nine Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll let you take root here first.¡± He raised his hand, and his Inner World was divided into countless spaces, imprisoning the nine white dragons. Here, he was the master of everything. After all, when the System Space began to transform into the inner world, it was already a small world at the level of an Emperor. It was still very easy to control the dragon vein. ¡°Roar!¡± The white dragon seemed to have a spirit and let out an unwilling roar. Finally, under Lin Mo¡¯s control, it turned into nine huge mountains. A fairyland appeared in the Inner World, formed by nine dragon-shaped mountains. Immortal Qi lingered within. Lin Mo even saw the mother qi of all things on the mountain peak, which could nurture all things¡­ Between the mountains, there were large lakes and small ponds. They had just formed, but there were actually even some fish and prawns in them. These were all spiritual items that could replenish one¡¯s vitality after consumption. ¡°In the future, let the Qilin and the others come here to cultivate,¡± Lin Mo chuckled. The expansion of the Molin Chamber of Commerce was just around the corner. Moreover, when he became stronger, he could even cooperate with the Bai Clan of the Southern Continent. If he auctioned off the 9-Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein, he would obtain the treasures that would be returned, and the Bai Clan would also obtain huge benefits. He could only hope that the Bai Clan was very strong, at least comparable to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Otherwise, it would take a long time for his plan to be implemented. ¡°Done. However, it¡¯s best not to make it public for the time being¡­¡± Chapter 797 - 797 Danger Ends Everywhere 797 Danger Ends Everywhere Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief after settling down the Nine Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein. After exiting the Inner World, he gradually calmed down. In fact, it would be fine even if he was very excited. The five people present had all obtained great benefits, and they all knew that¡­ ¡°Boom!¡± Suddenly, a terrifying attack spread out. It was Xiao Yun. He had spent a lot of effort to seal the Elixir of Creation. He had obtained a whole jar with over thirty pills. If word got out, the entire Northern Continent would be in an uproar. After seeing Lin Mo, he attacked without hesitation. Since he had obtained so many benefits, Lin Mo was probably quite formidable. He had to think of a way to obtain them. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. I got an Immortal pill, and I¡¯ve already finished it.¡± Lin Mo waved his hand. He would not expose the Nine Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein. ¡°On the contrary, I have a friend for whom cultivating the Dao Law of Creation is suitable. Would you like to sell your Elixir of Creation?¡± Lin Mo laughed lightly. Under Xiao Yun¡¯s gloomy expression, the Qilin also came out of seclusion. She had obtained the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill and immediately ate it. Seeing this, Lin Mo felt a little regretful. If he could have auctioned it off, he might have been able to get something better. However, on second thought, he was not qualified to auction off such a precious treasure. Finding a group of people who couldn¡¯t afford it and auctioning something like this off was not allowed by the system. It wouldn¡¯t give him any rebates. ¡°The three of you, I think it¡¯s better to leave first.¡± Behind him, Tang Ru came out of seclusion with a dragon¡¯s roar. Her body emitted a trace of dragon¡¯s might. She had truly mastered the True Dragon Spell Technique, the spell technique that the Holy Blood Water Dragon Clan dreamed of. In the future, she would use this method to reach the peak and have the hope of evolving into the legendary divine beast True Dragon. At that time, the Northern Continent would no longer have only one divine beast, the Qilin. ¡°That makes sense. Since I can¡¯t stay here for long, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± Young Master White Fox also appeared and left the place. With a treasure in his body, no one wanted to make a mistake. ¡°Let¡¯s go quickly. I have a bad feeling¡­¡± the Qilin tugged at Lin Mo¡¯s sleeve. She could sense fate and could see that the seal between her and Lin Mo was black. Also, her luck had been bad recently. On this battlefield, those Quasi-Saints weren¡¯t qualified to pose a threat to them. With the Inner World and many talismans as their trump cards, a Quasi-Saint alone would not be able to make their seal turn black. ¡°It can¡¯t be that people from the outside world have entered¡­¡± Lin Mo said worriedly. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but we still have to be careful¡­¡± Qilin shook her head. Something must have really happened outside. Under Lin Mo¡¯s insistence, the Qilin entered the Inner World. At this moment, Lin Mo was holding a Quasi-Immortal Realm-Breaking Talisman. He had two usable talismans in his hand. If he really had to face many sieges and suppressions after leaving, he would only be able to use the Realm-Breaking Talisman to escape. ¡°Lin Mo, you won¡¯t be able to escape today. It¡¯ll be impossible for you to survive.¡± Behind him, Xiao Yun laughed loudly as he gradually approached the outside world. He had received the information and knew everything. ¡°Brother Lin, take care¡­¡± Tang Ru reminded Lin Mo from behind. Hearing this, Lin Mo frowned. The worst situation had finally arrived. ¡°Eh?¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo felt a spatial fluctuation around him. It was a familiar aura. Tang Ru and the others did the same. A jade talisman flickered between their eyebrows. There was a light that fell and enveloped them before taking them away. ¡°The strength of the Hidden Dragon List. D*mn it, this is troublesome¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He saw countless living beings in a spatial passageway. Everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. The competition was over. Because of the World Tree, the Hidden Dragon List was broken. Soon, peerless masters would enter. As for those who entered, they were also forcefully sent away after the dispute ended. From today onwards, this treasure land that had been left for the younger generation to obtain opportunities had been completely destroyed. ¡°I¡¯m out. I¡¯m going to quickly look for my disciple¡­¡± ¡°A storm is about to erupt¡­¡± In the outside world, a shocking formation trap had already been set up. In addition, there were countless killing formations scattered throughout the void. There was no doubt that this had been set up by those top masters. As for who it had been prepared for, there was no need to say more. ¡°Boom!¡± Absolute Saints appeared and exploded with terrifying power. Their powerful soul power scanned the surroundings, searching for something. There was more than one such master who could ignore everything. Wherever his soul power went, no one could hide. ¡± Where is Lin Mo? Find him!¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the Qilin. Whoever gets it will elevate the entire sect.¡± A monstrous aura spread out as if it were the end of the world. No one who came out could escape. This formation had been set up by an Emperor-to-be. It was so terrifying that even an Absolute Saint wouldn¡¯t be able to break it, let alone a King. In addition, there were no less than a hundred Quasi-Immortal Level treasures in the crowd. This was an unimaginable treasure. If they were able to obtain one, it would be a great fortune. ¡°What did you say? Many of the masters of the Behemoth Clan are dead?¡± A deep roar resounded. It was the elder of the Behemoth Clan. He had never seen the younger generation of the Behemoth Clan return. After some questioning, they found out that Lin Mo had actually massacred all of the Behemoth clansmen¡­ ¡°Fellow Daoist, let¡¯s join forces and find the beast.¡± ¡°My clan, the Gongsun Clan, wants to join in the search.¡± The ground was in ruins because many Absolute Saints had attacked the Hidden Dragon List and wanted to tear open the cracks. The Hidden Dragon Pavilion was destroyed, the ground was broken, and the space was stirred. No one could escape. A large rain of light fell continuously, turning into human figures that were all teleported out. The formation covered the sky and the atmosphere was a little tense. Some people knew who this had been prepared for. Many figures flew across the sky. The weakest of them was a Supreme Saint. They were searching for Lin Mo. The formation was shrinking. They would find Lin Mo sooner or later. ¡°Lin Mo, stop struggling. You can¡¯t escape. Surrender obediently and I¡¯ll allow your soul to live,¡± shouted a Supreme Saint as he called for Lin Mo himself to come out. ¡°This day has indeed come. Lin Mo has no background. What a pity¡­¡± A master sighed softly. However, on second thought, since they were all here to cause trouble for Lin Mo, could they release the array formation after finding him? Some of the rogue cultivators were delighted. If this was the case, they would have a chance to escape with the treasures. ¡°B*stard! That¡¯s a disciple of my sect. How dare you touch him!¡± Sounds of quarreling could be heard from afar. Immediately after, a Saint made a move. Terrifying fluctuations set off waves of ripples. ¡°Disciples of the Wind Cloud Sect, come to me quickly.¡± An old man stood at a high place and called for his sect disciples. It was the same in other places. Many powerful existences summoned their disciples. As for some itinerant cultivators, they could only stick together and not dare to make too much noise. Fortunately, the masters patrolling in the sky were looking for Lin Mo and the Qilin. Otherwise, they would have lose all the opportunities they had already obtained. ¡°Lin Mo is here!¡± Suddenly, someone exclaimed. He was an elder of a sect who had discovered something unusual among his disciples. The strength of a Saint could not be underestimated. He saw through Lin Mo¡¯s disguise on the spot. ¡°Clang!¡± Sword light burst forth as the Broken Moon Sword was unsheathed and slashed at the Saint. Chapter 798 - 798 A Mission That Cannot Be Rejected 798 A Mission That Cannot Be Rejected However, even if it was an Immortal sword, it was useless against a Saint. It was impossible that it would be a match for a Saint. The elder waved his hand and blocked the sword qi. At this point, Lin Mo was completely exposed. He held the Broken Moon Sword in one hand, while intending on activating the Realm-Breaking Talisman with the other to cross the void. However, this was destined to fail. A few of the avenues of the laws turned into Divine Chains of Order, sealing the void and imprisoning everything. He couldn¡¯t activate the Realm-Breaking Talisman. Even the one Xia You had given him was useless. His realm wasn¡¯t high enough. ¡°D*mmit¡­¡± A huge hand pressed down, crushing the void and suppressing everything. Even if he had the Kun Peng¡¯s speed, it would be useless. The giant hand seemed to be able to suppress a world. Lin Mo was trapped inside, unable to move. ¡°This is only the attack of a Great Saint, yet it is so terrifying¡­¡± He felt bitter and helpless as he used his Inner World. He instantly broke free from the control and activated the secret technique in his Inner World. When he reappeared, he was already a few kilometers away. Unfortunately, there were people searching here too. He could hide for a while, but he would still be discovered in the end. ¡°Eh, Lin Mo!¡± Not far away, a beautiful figure turned around. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked very otherworldly. Beside her was a mischievous maid who was looking around. ¡°Mu Yuzhu, you guys are here!¡± Lin Mo was surprised, but he heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he looked behind him warily. There were a few elders of the Mu Clan there. When they saw Lin Mo, their eyes lit up with greed. Lin Mo frowned. He didn¡¯t want to make an enemy of the Mu Clan because he had a good relationship with Mu Yuzhu, who had agreed to be a guest elder of his Molin Chamber of Commerce. ¡°Elders, don¡¯t make a sound. Pretend you didn¡¯t see anything,¡± said Mu Yuzhu as she quickly gestured for the disciples of the Mu Clan to shut up. Because of her clan, she was unable to help Lin Mo. The only thing she could do was to not expose Lin Mo and cover for him. That was all. ¡°Young miss, he definitely has something heaven-defying on him. If you can obtain it¡­¡± A Saint from the Mu Clan whispered to her. His intention was obvious. He wanted to secretly capture Lin Mo and take all the benefits. Even if they were exposed, they could just split it equally with the other forces. With the Mu Clan¡¯s strength, they would definitely get a share of the profits. No one would dare to object. ¡°Shut up, Third Uncle. Take us away and just keep quiet,¡± Mu Yuzhu said angrily in a low voice. Looking into the greedy eyes of her clansmen, she shook her head helplessly. If it wasn¡¯t for the timing, she really wanted to scold these people. They were willing to wade into any muddy water and sooner or later, the Mu Clan would be buried under. ¡°Yuzhu, I hope you are right¡­¡± At the back of the Mu Clan, a middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Lin Mo with a deep gaze. His eyes also flickered with a hint of light. He was very interested in the treasures on Lin Mo¡¯s body. But at the same time, he had supported Mu Yuzhu¡¯s takeover as the next family head so now he had to listen to her orders. Otherwise, if Mu Yuzhu¡¯s dignity were to be damaged, the other direct clan members would jump out and say something¡­ Retracting his gaze, he gathered his clansmen, and spatial power appeared around him. At this moment, Lin Mo, who was already far away, suddenly turned around and looked at him in shock. ¡°Judging by his fate and blood qi, this person must have cultivated for less than 10,000 years, but he¡¯s already an Absolute Saint. The Mu Clan is indeed powerful¡­¡± Sighing, Lin Mo was also very glad that he had come out from the Inner World to occupy the Mu Clan¡¯s territory. This was due to luck, but the next time, luck would not always favor him. ¡°You are not a disciple of Roaring Tiger Mountain. Leave quickly.¡± A loud shout echoed in the air. Lin Mo felt his eardrums hurt from the shock. This was a Saint. The disguise on his body was destroyed, and he was once again exposed to everyone. ¡°It¡¯s you, Lin Mo. Lin Mo is here!¡± The Saint of Roaring Tiger Mountain roared. In an instant, a few large hands fell from the sky. Waves of powerful soul power instantly locked onto Lin Mo. At the same time, there were also Absolute Saints who cultivated the Law of Space and sealed the space. Lin Mo felt the air around him freeze. He was like a mosquito trapped in amber, unable to move. With a thought, he wanted to escape into the Inner World. However, this time, he was blocked. He could have activated his ability instantly, but he had to wait for two to three seconds before he could successfully enter. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± In the next moment, this place collapsed. The earth trembled, and the space was destroyed causing all order to disappear. The previous attacks were all from Absolute Saints and were extremely terrifying. In the Inner World, Lin Mo was shocked and panted heavily. This was too terrifying. ¡°The Law of Space is so terrifying. I almost won¡¯t be able to make it back¡­¡± At this moment, he did not even dare to leave the Inner World. He sat cross-legged in the Nine Element Celestial-grade Dragon Vein and waited patiently. He didn¡¯t know what had happened to the blockade in the outside world, nor did he know how far he could travel with the method that the Rainbow-Winged Bird had given him. If it appeared on the enemy¡¯s face, there would really be nothing left. [ System Mission: Create the Molin Chamber of Commerce in front of everyone and let the Chamber of Commerce be successfully established. ] [ Mission Reward: One of the four swords of the most precious innate treasure, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword! ] The system¡¯s voice rang out in his mind, telling him to go out and publicly establish the Molin Chamber of Commerce. It was another life-threatening mission, but Lin Mo didn¡¯t want to give up on the reward. He already had the Celestial Slaying Sword Formation in his hands. If he could gather all four Celestial Slaying Swords, it would definitely be a terrifying trump card. Unless the Great Emperor came personally, anyone who stood in their way would be killed. ¡°The reward is very good and I am very tempted. However, this mission is a little life-threatening¡­¡± Lin Mo clenched his teeth as he felt that the mission was very difficult. Going out now was undoubtedly a dead end, but if he did not go out, the mission would fail. ¡°Go and discuss this with the Qilin¡­¡± With a voice transmission, the space nearby trembled, and a petite figure curiously walked out of the spatial passageway. ¡°Wow, this place¡­¡± Just as she stuck her head out, the Qilin¡¯s face was filled with surprise. She stared at her surroundings and opened her arms as if she was embracing this world. ¡°What kind of paradise is this? It¡¯s even better than my mother¡¯s dojo¡­¡± She stared at Lin Mo, unable to suppress her joy. ¡°The Nine-Element Celestial-grade Dragon Veins can even give birth to innate rare beasts under sufficient conditions,¡± said Lin Mo with a chuckle. This place was called the Dragon Vein. Perhaps the True Dragon Clan had been born in this blessed land. ¡°In the future, I want to stay here permanently. It¡¯s too wonderful¡­¡± The Qilin was very satisfied. It jumped into a small pond to play, releasing its nature and having a lot of fun. However, Lin Mo didn¡¯t have the time to admire the place and scooped her up. ¡°Join forces with me. There¡¯s a Deduction Technique in the Qilin Art techniques. Let¡¯s use it together.¡± The situation was urgent. If it was still a great danger after the deduction, then he would have to give up on this mission. No matter how good the reward was, he had to be alive to receive it. ¡°We still haven¡¯t escaped? I thought you were safe¡­¡± The smile on Qilin¡¯s face disappeared. She told Lin Mo that ever since she had entered the Inner World, the black gas on her forehead had disappeared. At the same time, she also noticed that Lin Mo¡¯s seal was no longer black. Although he still looked fierce, he was not very fierce. ¡°I think there¡¯s a chance.¡± Chapter 799 - 799 Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure 799 Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Lin Mo smiled. The Qilin¡¯s words were like a calming pill for him. This was equivalent to turning a death tribulation into a great calamity. It was a good sign. The two of them sat on the ground with the Dao Law of Fate revolving around them. The two of them deduced it together and felt the endless changes in their fate. With their combined efforts, Lin Mo¡¯s next encounter could be predicted, but the two of them could not see it. There were hundreds and thousands of endings, with endless variations. This was because any action, decision, or even mentality that Lin Mo made could affect the outcome. In addition, there were also creatures involved in this matter. Their thoughts would also determine the ending for Lin Mo. Fortunately, among these countless endings, there were very few dead ends. Most of the time, it would be a close call. The result of the deduction was that he had the help of a benefactor, which surprised Lin Mo greatly. This was good. He could also complete the system mission without worry. ¡°Little girl, you stay here and cultivate. I¡¯ll take you away,¡± said Lin Mo as he patted the Qilin¡¯s forehead and stood up. ¡°Be careful. Some results are a dead end. If you feel that something is wrong, just come back quickly.¡± The Qilin was still a little worried. Although the result of the deduction was that there would be no danger, what if¡­ ¡°Trust me!¡± Lin Mo responded and left the Inner World with his will. Immediately after, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread all over. Countless soul powers locked onto him, and the space was sealed again. These Supreme Saints and Absolute Saints were very patient. After seeing him hide in the Inner World, preparations were made in advance. As expected, Lin Mo appeared not long after and was immediately trapped. The attack was about to arrive. Once it hit, his cultivation would be crippled. Even though he had the God Devouring Body, he could recover by devouring a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi after escaping. However, he did not want to suffer such humiliation, so he decided to communicate with the Inner World and escape. Suddenly, a burst of multi-colored divine lights came from the horizon. The sealed space shattered, and the pressure that filled the sky and the plains disappeared. The Great Saints and even the peak Great Saints were all sent flying by this divine light. The attack on Lin Mo disappeared as it was melted by the multi-colored divine light. ¡°Who¡­ who dares to attack?¡± ¡°The Bai Clan of the Southern Continent Heavenly Domain? We promised the Emperor-to-be that we wouldn¡¯t do anything. Why are you still interfering?¡± At this moment, all the masters were furious as they looked into the distance. Hearing this, Lin Mo was stunned. Could it be that the benefactor in the deduction was from the Bai Clan? ¡°What Bai Clan? I don¡¯t know them.¡± A familiar voice spoke out with a hint of contempt. Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Lin Mo¡¯s face. It was a familiar face. It was the Rainbow-Winged Bird that he had recruited at the Five Elements Mountain. ¡°Senior, you are finally here¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed softly. It had been really dangerous just now. If it wasn¡¯t for the Rainbow-Winged Bird, he would really have died. ¡°Who are you?¡± An Absolute Saint shouted. At the same time, some creatures felt that it was someone who had been sent by the Bai Clan to reprimand the Bai Clan for not abiding by the agreement. ¡°If he isn¡¯t from the Bai Clan, why would they help this kid?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It must be the Bai Clan. The Bai Clan broke the agreement first. Do they really think that we are weak?¡± Many Supreme Saints and Absolute Saints condemned the bird, thinking that he had been sent by the Bai Clan. ¡°Brat, you can decide what you want to say about this matter,¡± said the Rainbow-Winged Bird as it looked at Lin Mo. It did not care whether it was exposed or not. Since it had agreed to join Lin Mo¡¯s faction, it would allow Lin Mo to decide. ¡°Thank you for your help, Senior.¡± Lin Mo, who had been worried that he would not have a chance to interrupt, was overjoyed. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he cleared his throat. ¡°I, Lin Mo, have officially established the Molin Chamber of Commerce in front of all the heroes of the Northern Continent. It has just been established, and there are three elders. ¡°One of them is this senior, Rainbow-Winged Bird, a creature from the Five Elements Mountain in the ancient battlefield.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, countless sneers were heard, mocking Lin Mo for overestimating himself. But soon, many creatures reacted. They looked at the man who was shrouded in the multi-colored divine light in shock. It was the legendary extinct creature, the Rainbow-Winged Bird. It was hard to believe that there were still beings that were alive in the ancient battlefield and possessed intelligence. ¡°Nonsense. It¡¯s impossible for the beasts in the ancient battlefield to develop intelligence,¡± said a Great Saint. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a disciple reported on his own encounter on the battlefield. Coincidentally, he had also been to the Five Elements Mountain and knew that all the creatures there had intelligence. However, without the permission of the Five Elements Mountain, they had not been able to step out of the specific range. The Rainbow-Winged Bird in front of him might really have come out from inside¡­ ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± The group of Saints was shocked. They scanned the disciple with their soul power. After confirming that he was not lying, their eyes gradually became solemn. ¡°Sir, do you really want to interfere in this matter?¡± A supreme elder of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion stepped forward with his hands clasped together towards the bird. He couldn¡¯t understand. Lin Mo was just a junior. It was already a great opportunity for the Bai Clan to recognize him and send an Emperor-to-be to protect him. However, they had just discussed this matter with the Bai Clan, and found that the Emperor-to-be did not want to take action against Lin Mo. In the next moment, an Absolute Saint jumped out and joined the Molin Chamber of Commerce that Lin Mo had established¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what he¡¯s saying? I¡¯m an elder of the Molin Chamber of Commerce,¡± said the Rainbow-Winged Bird, as his eyes turned cold. A multi-colored divine light flashed and swept over Lin Mo to protect him. ¡°Do you know about the Bai Clan that they are talking about?¡± Rainbow-Winged Bird asked Lin Mo. It was troublesome to have an Emperor-to-be hiding in the shadows. If what the other party said was true, then he could take Lin Mo away today. However, if an Emperor-to-be were to make a move, Lin Mo would really be trapped in the Inner World. ¡°I have a good friend from the Bai Clan in the Myriad Souls Mound in the Southern Continent Heavenly Region. He introduced me to the Bai Clan.¡± Lin Mo spoke frankly without hiding anything. He told everyone. This was the reason why the Bai Clan had come forward to protect him. At the same time, he was also shocked. The Bai Clan was so powerful that the entire Northern Continent was afraid of them. It was extremely terrifying¡­ However, on second thought, perhaps an Emperor-to-be was enough to make countless people fear him. This was because if a master of this level was truly determined to take revenge, no faction would be able to stop him. No faction would dare to take on such a risk. This was also the reason why these people had agreed to not allow the Emperor-to-be to attack¡­ ¡°No wonder it was a death tribulation at the beginning, but it was a life and death situation later on¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. ¡°Congratulations on completing the mission. The Molin Chamber of Commerce has been officially established. Please continue to strengthen your influence.¡± [ Mission Reward: One of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, the Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Immortal Vanquishing Sword!] Lin Mo suddenly felt his soul tremble. The Immortal sword Broken Moon in his qi center was actually trembling at this moment. In the depths of his consciousness, an endless stream of sword qi appeared, and a strange-looking scarlet longsword appeared. As soon as it appeared, Lin Mo felt a thick, vicious aura spreading. His soul was wrapped in the vicious aura, and a dense killing intent surrounded him. However, his appearance did not change at all. Even the Rainbow-Winged Bird beside him didn¡¯t notice anything unusual. It was staring at its surroundings because more than ten Absolute Saints had appeared and were now approaching¡­ Chapter 800 - 800 The Appearance of a Big Shot 800 The Appearance of a Big Shot In the distance, there were even more masters, but they chose to wait and see first. Because of the intimidation from the Bai Clan, not many forces dared to make a move at this moment. The only ones who still chose to attack were those who had a blood feud with Lin Mo, such as the Gongsun family and the Behemoth Clan. The rest were all relatively strong forces. They didn¡¯t fear the Bai Clan. After the Bai Clan had intervened, they had decided to not attack. The Bai Clan had masters who were proficient in the Great Dao of Karma. They had predicted that someone would help Lin Mo, so they agreed. After the intervention of many parties, the current situation was established. Tens of thousands of miles away, there were many masters of the Mu family here, looking at the huge formation that covered the sky. Mu Yuzhu was a little worried. She looked at the middle-aged man next to her. He was the patriarch of the Mu Clan, and he was very powerful. He was one of the strongest in the Northern Continent. ¡°Ancestor, are you not going to help?¡± Mu Yuzhu asked as she looked at the formation that covered the sky. Some elders of the Mu Clan tried to persuade him. The Mu Clan was not the Bai Clan, so they did not have such strong combat strength. It wasn¡¯t worth it to make enemies with the other powerful forces of the Northern Continent just to win Lin Mo over. Not far away, the Saintess of Snow Valley stood tall and slender as she looked at Lin Mo, who was in danger. Even with the help of the Rainbow-Winged Bird, the situation was still not optimistic. She looked at the Lord of Snow Valley and said, ¡°Valley Master, Song Lianxue and Mao Zhu are in his Inner World. Should we interfere?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s attack together. Kill it and capture Lin Mo,¡± shouted an Absolute Saint. ¡°Don¡¯t act rashly. If necessary, hide in the Inner World,¡± warned the Rainbow-Winged Bird. In the next moment, its figure disappeared. The multi-colored divine light bloomed. It was a peak Absolute Saint, a step away from Emperor-to-be. Its combat power was very strong. It was extremely brave. Anyone who approached it was hit by the multi-colored divine light and immediately spat out blood. Some of the weaker ones were even severely injured and on the verge of death. The elder of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was furious and attacked with all his might. He was at least a Seventh Heaven Layer Absolute Saint. However, he felt a little weak at the moment. Because he was old, his qi and blood were depleted. It was difficult to unleash peak combat strength, but the Rainbow-Winged Bird had abundant blood and qi and even had the ability to break through to the Emperor-to-be level. ¡°Boom!¡± The moment the two sides clashed, spiritual qi surged and laws continuously eroded each other. The commotion did not seem big, but the danger within could not be underestimated. ¡°Boom!¡± The space cracked and a storm gathered in the void. However, it was suppressed by the Rainbow-Winged Bird, and a colorful tail feather appeared in its hand. A powerful pressure spread, causing many of the creatures in the formation to be suppressed until they could not breathe. At this moment, even Great Saints were nothing more than ants in its eyes, much less those who were Saints. It could destroy them with a flip of its hand¡­ ¡°So your original form is as a Green Flood Dragon. Not bad, but unfortunately, you¡¯re too old and your blood essence is declining,¡± said the Rainbow-Winged Bird as it shook its head, and a multi-colored divine light appeared in his palm. The light appeared, and with a boom, the Green Flood Dragon transformed into its true form, resisting with its powerful physical body and laws. With just one strike, he spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered back. However, the Rainbow-Winged Bird wasn¡¯t willing to let it go. It raised its hand and attacked, as it pressed forward. ¡°Roar!¡± The Green Flood Dragon roared at the sky. Inch by inch, the scales on its body broke, and bright red blood sprinkled down, nourishing the earth. At the same time, a white lion appeared and its huge claws attacked the bird from behind. ¡°Clang!¡± Facing the sneak attack, the Rainbow-Winged Bird was not afraid at all. The feathers on its body emitted a divine light. At this moment, it seemed to have turned into a sharp sword that could sweep through everything. The white lion¡¯s claws were instantly torn apart. ¡°Roar!¡± A painful roar mixed with fresh blood filled the sky, causing everyone to be shocked. Who would have thought that the Rainbow-Winged Bird would be so powerful that it wouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage even when surrounded by so many Absolute Saints? People even felt that if it had more time, it could even kill all the Absolute Saints present¡­ ¡°Actually, we can just sit down and talk. There¡¯s no need to fight to the death,¡± said the Rainbow-Winged Bird. Then, he transformed into a human that was holding a colorful sword in his hand. Sharp sword qi spread around his body and firmly protected Lin Mo. ¡°Kill them!¡± What responded to him was the spear of the elder of the Gongsun family. The other masters also made their moves, especially from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. They sent out another master, whose aura was not much weaker than the Rainbow-Winged Bird. ¡°Oh, there¡¯s someone who can be seen¡­¡± Seeing this person, the scornful look on Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s face finally disappeared. Someone who could truly compete with him had appeared. He was in the same realm as him and was also trying to break through to the Emperor-to-be realm. If it succeeded, it would be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. From then on, it would have endless longevity and accompany this world. ¡°Fellow Daoists, I¡¯ll be the main attacker. You guys assist from the side,¡± said the elder from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. At this moment, the Gongsun family and the Behemoth Clan were still attacking. Both of these clans had a huge grudge against Lin Mo. The rest of the forces, including the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, attacked Lin Mo for their own benefit. These forces were not afraid of the Bai Clan. They wanted to capture Lin Mo and obtain the Kun Peng and Qilin spells. Of course, there were also the treasures that Lin Mo and the Qilin had obtained in the Chaos Dao Palace. Something that was left behind by the World Tree must be a very rare treasure. The Rainbow-Winged Bird was very strong. It had the upper hand against the Hidden Dragon Pavilion elder, even if the other party had help. But at the same time, Lin Mo was in danger. With the Absolute Saint attacking continuously, taking down Lin Mo was the most important thing no matter what the outcome of the battle was. Seeing this, he had originally wanted to watch the battle, but now he had no choice but to escape. He hid in the Inner World and waited for the results of the battle with the Rainbow-Winged Bird. ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush. There are still other fellow Daoists so I¡¯ll play with you today,¡± sneered the Rainbow-Winged Bird. He seemed to be sending a voice transmission as he looked into the depths of the ancient battlefield. ¡°Buzz!¡± The Hidden Dragon List that had been split into two lit up, and a woman walked out from the shattered space. Her body and mind were empty as she stared ahead. ¡°What? Here comes another one¡­¡± Someone was shocked. The faces of the people from the Gongsun family and the Hidden Dragon Pavilion changed. It was already so difficult to deal with a single Rainbow-Winged Bird. If a master with the same combat strength came, they would not be able to take Lin Mo down without an Emperor-to-be. ¡°Senior Qin Ya?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Finally, he did not have to hide in the Inner World. ¡°Give me back my magic weapon.¡± Qin Ya chuckled and reached out to Lin Mo for her magic weapon. ¡°Magic weapon?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. Then, he remembered that when he had been looking for Qin Ya, he had taken away a zither. It was a zither that had been made from parasol trees and divine silk. However, the system¡¯s introduction had said that it was not a magic weapon at all. There were no runes engraved on it¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that even your esteemed self would be alarmed. This farce is a little too big¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Even the Phoenix Girl is here. Do you still want to continue? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to end this farce¡­¡± A few jokes could be heard, which eased the originally stifling atmosphere a little. At the same time, all the creatures present were filled with respect and shock. Countless questions arose in their minds, but they did not dare to speak¡­ Chapter 801 - 801 The True Top Forces of the Northern Continent 801 The True Top Forces of the Northern Continent This was because they had witnessed a scene that had not appeared in tens of thousands of years. The pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had appeared. His cultivation had reached the peak of perfection and was extremely high among other Emperors-to-be. He was also one of the top figures in the whole world, and no one dared to save his face. ¡°You are a little stubborn. Besides, you¡¯re easy to break if treated too roughly. Let the Rainbow-Winged Bird take you away at the first possible moment. With the Realm-Breaking Talisman, the crisis can be resolved¡­¡± Qin Ya took the zither from Lin Mo¡¯s hands and sighed softly, as she said that Lin Mo had wasted a chance to save her¡­ ¡°Chance?¡± Lin Mo was slightly stunned. He did not understand why Qin Ya would say that. ¡°Rumble!¡± The sky trembled. The grand formation that sealed off the ten heavens and the earth had been destroyed. Countless spatial cracks spread out, and the Divine Chains of Order paved the way in the void, forming a bright Great Dao. A bronze chariot that was being pulled by an ancient beast drove out, releasing a terrifying pressure. The chariot drove out of the void and a young man walked out of it. He was dressed in black armor and exuded a cold aura, causing people to shudder. ¡°That¡¯s right, the leader of the Ghost Clan. Even a clan that stands aloof from the world has come¡­¡± A creature cried out in alarm. The Ghost Clan was not weaker than the Behemoth Clan or the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. Due to the uniqueness of their clan, they rarely came into contact with the world and rarely showed their faces. They did not even participate in the Hidden Dragon List. However, it was such a terrifying clan that it was really surprising to see that they had come here today. ¡°I know nothing about these forces. Senior, do you know anything?¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He asked Qin Ya, but he didn¡¯t get an answer. At this moment, the latter seemed to be fusing with the zither or recalling something but there was no movement¡­ In the end, it was Mu Yuzhu who transmitted her voice to him from nearby, which allowed him to learn about the Ghost Clan¡¯s background and strength. Hearing this, Lin Mo could not help but frown. An experienced Emperor-to-be with an unknown level. He wondered if the other party would abide by the agreement with the Bai family¡­ If he was disrespectful, could Qin Ya save him? ¡°Hehe, little friend, you must be joking. My Ghost Clan does not get involved in worldly affairs. Your Kun Peng Art technique is useful to me, but it¡¯s not necessary.¡± With the Ghost Clan¡¯s leader¡¯s strength, he was able to know everything, be it Mu Yuzhu¡¯s voice transmission or Lin Mo¡¯s thoughts. To everyone¡¯s surprise, even though this experienced Emperor-to-be didn¡¯t even show so much as a friendly smile to Lin Mo, he still comforted him, which was the envy of countless creatures. ¡°Greetings, Senior¡­¡± Lin Mo hurriedly bowed. Facing an Emperor-to-be of this level, he didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. He had to be polite. Standing beside the bronze chariot, the Ghost Clan Leader looked at the Rainbow-Winged Bird with a solemn expression. ¡°I heard that you survived the Five Elements Mountain on the ancient battlefield,¡± he said, ¡± May I know from when you came into being? ¡± As soon as he said that, all the creatures who were present were very curious. Rainbow-Winged birds had long gone extinct in this world and were now nowhere to be found. The one in front of him must have come from a very long time ago. It must have been so long ago that even a peak Absolute Saint might not be able to survive it. Facing the erosion of time, only Emperor-to-be could resist for a long time, but they could not last long. One day, their lifespan would run out¡­ ¡°I can¡¯t answer this question. I was sealed in the egg just like the Qilin. I was in a deep sleep until the Five Elements Mountain woke up and evolved a whole region. That was when I woke up and cultivated until now. ¡± The Rainbow-Winged Bird spread its hands, indicating that it had only cultivated for 200,000 years and only knew a little about the ancient times¡­ ¡°Is that so¡­¡± The leader of the Ghost Clan nodded. He was slightly disappointed, but he quickly calmed down. There was no need for it to lie. No one below Emperor-to-be could lie to him. With his terrifying cultivation, he could see through all lies. ¡°Perhaps there are some memory fragments. If you are interested, you can come to my Ghost clan as a guest with this token. I will definitely treat you well.¡± Since he had not gotten what he wanted, the leader of the Ghost clan tossed out a token to the Rainbow-Winged Bird. This was the envy of countless people. Such a huge opportunity was hard to come by¡­ ¡°There were quite a few fellow Daoists who appeared just now. Why didn¡¯t any of them come out to take a look?¡± ¡°The ones hiding over there are all juniors, right? Where did they come from?¡± The leader of the Ghost Clan chuckled and looked at a nearby space. ¡°The Senior Ghost Emperor doesn¡¯t care about worldly affairs. It is an honor for us juniors to be able to meet him today¡­¡± Soon, spatial fluctuations spread, and another group of people appeared. They stepped on the golden Great Dao, wearing golden robes. The word ¡®Emperor¡¯ had been engraved on their chests in white, and they were born with a domineering aura¡­ ¡°Emperor Clan, Huangfu clan. This place is quite lively today¡­¡± Even without Mu Yuzhu providing him with an explanation, he already knew how terrifying these people were. In his years in the Northern Continent, he had heard that the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was the most powerful faction in the Northern Continent. Of course, this was only on the surface. In the dark, many clans disdained it. Among them, the most terrifying was the Imperial Clan which was a clan that had truly produced great emperors from their ancestors and had inheritances that had been passed down. The Great Emperor Bloodline, the Great Emperor Ancient Scripture, and the Inner World that the Great Emperor had personally created was vast and boundless. That was the true power of the Northern Continent. It had countless resources, and although it didn¡¯t care about the affairs of the world, no one dared to provoke it. ¡®These clans do not lack supreme inheritances. Why have they come out to join in the fun¡­¡¯ Lin Mo suddenly felt weak. He had thought that after he had recruited the Rainbow-Winged Bird, he would be able to develop in peace in the Northern Continent and no one would dare to provoke him. In the end, today¡¯s matter had given him a huge blow. It was not enough for him to be proud of being an Emperor-to-be. The development of the Molin Chamber of Commerce had a long way to go¡­ ¡°Buzz!¡± A young man walked out from among the disciples of the Imperial Clan. First, he looked at the master who had appeared on the Hidden Dragon List with disdain. The disdain on his face intensified. Even when he looked at Lin Mo, Xiao Yun, and the others, his expression did not change at all¡­ ¡°He¡¯s too arrogant¡­¡± A creature muttered softly, which immediately scared his companions that were around him. They hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled him to the side. ¡°Judging by his blood essence, he¡¯s not even twenty years old and he has the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Was this the Imperial Clan? Or was this the strongest young man in the Huangfu Clan? Or was this just one of the best of both of them? ¡°We are here for the Qilin. Where is she?¡± The young man from the Imperial Family looked at Lin Mo with a sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything. ¡°The Imperial Clan has its own inheritance. Do they want other inheritances?¡± ¡°Or are you also after the Qilin blood?¡± At this point, Lin Mo¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold. He treated the Qilin as his own and would never allow anyone else to touch her. ¡°Hmph, our clan doesn¡¯t need to hear what you have to say. Ask the Qilin to come out.¡± The look in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes made these people unhappy. A terrifying pressure spread out as they tried to force Lin Mo to kneel. ¡°Crack!¡± The surrounding space was torn apart, and Lin Mo felt an immense pressure. The other party was a Quasi-Saint, and he was not of a low level. Just the pressure alone was enough to make him unable to withstand it¡­ ¡°Clang!¡± In his qi center, a sword light surged. In an instant, a monstrous sword qi spread, and the pressure that originally enveloped Lin Mo shattered. In fact, the rhythm of the sword light actually condensed and attacked the young man from the Imperial Clan. Chapter 802 - 802 Recruiting All Sides 802 Recruiting All Sides ¡°Ridiculous!¡± The young man from the Imperial Clan waved his hand, and the light from the moon-white sword broke inch by inch. He was of a very high realm, and his combat strength was extraordinary. There was a natural arrogance in his attacks that made people subconsciously want to submit. Just like that, the sword light that the immortal sword had drawn out was easily dispelled, unable to cause any harm to him. ¡°It¡¯s just like an ant trying to shake a tree. Ridiculous!¡± The other party¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. The others also looked at Lin Mo mockingly, as if Lin Mo¡¯s counterattack was extremely laughable. ¡°Ask the Qilin to come out and I won¡¯t blame you for being rude,¡± continued the young man from the Imperial Clan. He wanted to see the Qilin. With the help of the Dao Law of Fate, Lin Mo was able to confirm that the Imperial Clan had no ill intentions towards the Qilin. Only then did he relax. He communicated with his Inner World and called out the Qilin. ¡°Divine Beast Qilin¡­¡± The moment she appeared, everyone looked over, including the Absolute Saints and the leader of the Ghost Clan. Everyone wanted to see the legendary divine beast Qilin. From the initial pursuit to the current attempt to recruit it, the eyes of all the elders of all the factions were burning. However, they understood that it was too late. The Imperial Clan had appeared. He had come for the Qilin, so one could just imagine his intention. His intention must be to recruit the divine beast Qilin. When they thought about how the Huangfu Clan would receive the blessing of the Qilin and the protection of the auspicious beast, the White Qilin, in the future, all the creatures there looked on with envious eyes. ¡°You were looking for me?¡± The Qilin came out and quickly understood everything. However, after learning that the Imperial Clan had attacked Lin Mo and even mocked him, she immediately turned hostile towards these people. ¡°Auspicious Beast White Qilin, the Huangfu Imperial Clan is willing to marry you and protect you. Follow us. With the protection of the Imperial Clan, you will surely regain the glory of the divine beast in the future.¡± The young man from the Imperial Clan spoke, still with an arrogant look on his face. He also spoke in a very impolite tone of voice, as if this was a kind of charity to the Qilin¡­ However, when these words fell into the ears of the other creatures, they seemed to be the equivalent of a blessing from the heavens. There were even some people who murmured that this was expected of the auspicious beast Qilin. Even such a dangerous situation could be resolved by the Imperial Clan¡­ ¡°I¡¯m not interested. They¡¯re merely the Imperial Clan. They¡¯re not even qualified to talk to me about this.¡± The Qilin¡¯s attitude seemed to be very casual, but the words she said were comparable to a thunderbolt. Everyone was stunned. The Absolute Saints were stunned, the Quasi-Emperors were confused, and even the leader of the Ghost Clan raised his eyebrows. Many people turned to look at the Qilin, thinking that her words were a little too arrogant. Some of them even felt that this was Lin Mo¡¯s idea¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t worry, girl. We¡¯re absolutely safe today. ¡± Lin Mo said telepathically. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the Qilin¡¯s shoulder. At the same time, a Realm-Breaking Talisman appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the talisman that Xia You had given him. It was definitely the best among the Quasi-Immortal Level Realm-Breaking Talismans. He had always been reluctant to use it. Qin Ya was right. If he was decisive enough, he would have used the Realm-Breaking Talisman to break the void the moment the Rainbow-Winged Bird had appeared. With the Rainbow-Winged Bird¡¯s speed, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for it to escape with them. By relying on the Inner World and the Realm-Breaking Talisman, escaping was not a problem. ¡°Arrogant¡­¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± The Qilin¡¯s words angered the group of young people from the Imperial Clan, and their eyes filled with coldness. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Qilin said indifferently as she glanced at these people. ¡°Before you guys pretended to be noble and humiliated my brother, didn¡¯t you just rely on the fact that your ancestors were Martial Imperial Realm masters to prove that you came from a noble family? ¡°Why? The same thing has happened to you, and you can¡¯t take it anymore?¡± At this point, the little girl seemed to be angry and continued to speak. ¡°Besides, your ancestors might have received my mother¡¯s blessing. In terms of seniority, even your ancestor¡¯s son had to be polite to me. Who do you think you are? ¡± Her domineering words shocked everyone present until they were speechless. On the other hand, Lin Mo was a little troubled. She had completely offended the Huangfu Clan¡­ However, he felt quite satisfied to hear it and felt very relieved¡­ The Qilin wanted to continue, but another important figure had arrived and it was someone who was truly supreme. There were three Imperial clans in the Northern Continent, and among them was the Gongchang Clan. An elder from the Gongchang Clan had arrived. He had the bloodline of an emperor and cultivated the ancient scripture of an emperor. An Emperor-to-be with monstrous battle prowess. Even the leader of the Ghost Clan did not dare to slight him. The other party¡¯s goal was the same, to recruit the Qilin. Unlike the arrogance of the Huangfu clan, he offered a very high price. He even stated that as long as the Qilin joined him, no one would dare to touch Lin Mo today. But soon, a third Imperial Clan appeared. The Wang Clan extended an olive branch to Lin Mo and the Qilin. Such an opportunity was the envy of countless creatures.. Entering the Imperial Family, even if it was as a branch family, was something that ordinary people could not reach. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Faced with this kind invitation, Lin Mo bowed and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯ve already made an oath to join the Bai Clan of the Southern Continent. You must have heard about it, Senior.¡± While the ancient battlefield was still ongoing, news of him being in the Northern Continent had spread to the Southern Continent. The Bai Family had also shown their respect for him and sent an Emperor-to-be to fight the Emperor-to-be of the Gongsun Clan. When he heard about this, he was very touched and felt a little closer to the Bai Clan. ¡°It is understandable that the Southern Continent¡¯s Imperial Clan has come all the way here for the God Devouring Body¡­¡± But, these people were not here to recruit Lin Mo. At the moment, they were looking expectantly at the Qilin as they waited for his answer. ¡°Of course I want to join the Bai Clan. I¡¯ll go wherever Brother Lin Mo goes.¡± The Qilin hugged Lin Mo¡¯s arm tightly and refused to let go. Her gaze was resolute, as she refused to allow anyone to change her mind. ¡°Aren¡¯t the actions of the Bai Clan a little too much? ¡± A dignified voice came from the void. Another Emperor-to-be arrived. At this point, all three Imperial clans had sent their heavyweights. All three of the Emperors-to-be were very powerful. ¡°Fellow Daoist, you¡¯re wrong. My Bai Clan hasn¡¯t even started to recruit the divine beast Qilin. It¡¯s not our fault that the divine beast Qilin as volunteered to join us.¡± A man had appeared out of nowhere. He held a blood-red battle axe in his hand and stood proudly between heaven and earth. At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly felt a sense of relief. It was as if with that person around, today¡¯s deadlock situation could be completely resolved¡­ To prevent being spied on, he put the Qilin into the Inner World. In a place far away from the Nine Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein, he separated a space and took out the Immortal Vanquishing Sword that appeared in his soul. This sharp sword was extremely terrifying. It was extremely vicious and was hidden in the depths of his soul. It was very difficult to detect. There was no doubt that it was definitely comparable to an Immortal Level magic weapon, or even one of the best. ¡°If I can borrow this Immortal Vanquishing Sword, I can escape safely even if I¡¯m in the Northern Continent¡­¡± Nodding his head, he found Qilin and took her out of the Inner World. Not many people paid attention to their departure. All of them knew that Lin Mo had this life-saving trump card. A battle between the Quasi-Saints could break out at any time. Many creatures had already begun to retreat. This was not a joke. If he was really swept up by the aftershock, it would be easy for his soul to become scattered¡­ ¡°Guys, don¡¯t ignore me, okay?¡± The Emperor-to-be confronted them. A crisp voice rang out, attracting the attention of all creatures. Chapter 803 - 803 The Mysterious Qin Ya 803 The Mysterious Qin Ya The people from the Northern Continent looked surprised. The person who had spoken was Qin Ya. Previously, he had heard someone refer to her as the Phoenix Maiden. Could it be that she was the daughter of the Divine Beast Phoenix? It was too crazy that such a terrifying existence would actually take such good care of Lin Mo. ¡°Senior Qin Ya!¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. It was another powerful helper. Furthermore, this person¡¯s identity was definitely a shocking secret. Her methods were also extremely heaven-defying. Otherwise, how could she have entered the ancient battlefield¡­ At this moment, even the Emperor-to-be of the Imperial Clan looked fearful. The three Imperial clans of the Northern Continent looked at each other. The Emperor-to-be of the Wang Clan looked at the Qilin and stood up. ¡°Phoenix Maiden, you have crossed the line. It¡¯ll be better for you to just watch from the side.¡± With a hum, multicolored lights spread out. In front of him, a colorful spear condensed. The colorful spear emitted a dazzling light and made a stabbing motion towards Qin Ya. This was the first person to act. He wanted to see just what kind of ability this person, who the Imperial Clan was so wary of and called herself the Phoenix Maiden, had. However, the spear stopped not far from Qin Ya. The whole space froze, as if everything had frozen. Multicolored lights spread out, and in the next moment, it began to burn. It turned into a dazzling Dao fire, burning through the void and burning everything in its path. However, this attack eventually dissipated. Although the Dao fire burned fiercely, it did not have any effect. Everyone turned pale with fright, sighing that this was the abilities of an Emperor-to-be. His control over his own power was so perfect that they weren¡¯t affected at all. At the same time, they felt helpless. They couldn¡¯t understand the methods of an Emperor-to-be. The Dao Law was boundless, and there was no trace of it when they attacked. Even Absolute Saints couldn¡¯t see any traces. It was extremely terrifying. ¡°It seems that the Wang Clan is determined to obtain the Qilin. However, this karma is a little too great and I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t be able to withstand it. Be careful of extermination¡­¡± said Qin Ya. The crisp sound resounded through the sky, but it sent chills down everyone¡¯s spine. Only a Great Emperor was capable of exterminating an Imperial race! What kind of karma could cause the destruction of the Imperial Clan? Unless the Qilin¡¯s mother was still alive, or she had left behind a Great Emperor to protect her¡­ Hearing this, the Emperor-to-be from the Wang Clan looked very unhappy. They were from the Imperial Clan. How could they be threatened like this? ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. The Hidden Dragon List has been destroyed, and some things have been brought forward. Even the Imperial Clan is at risk of being exterminated. ¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can go to the Eastern Continent and predict what kind of karmic effect will happen in the future,¡± Qin Ya said casually. Her body was emitting Immortal light, but it shocked all the Emperors-to-be present. ¡°As the culprit, you should be punished.¡± She looked towards the void not far away. In the next moment, the space shattered and a man appeared. It was the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master. As Qin Ya spoke, Immortal light radiated from her body. She sat cross-legged in the air and played the zither with her hands. The melodious sound of the zither spread out like Immortal music. Everyone went silent at the sound of the Immortal music, listening to its supreme mysteries. ¡°The Hidden Dragon List is controlled by my Hidden Dragon Pavilion. So what if I destroy it?¡± How could the pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion yield? He was also an experienced Emperor-to-be. To be able to cultivate to such a realm, which one of them was not an extraordinary existence? Even if they weren¡¯t as strong as the Imperial Clan, the difference wasn¡¯t that great. ¡°Boom!¡± The heavens and earth shook. Countless Divine Chains of Order fell, and crimson flames began to spread. Soon, this place became like a sea of fire. Divine fire filled the sky, and fire runes spread everywhere. ¡°Buzz!¡± Qin Ya sat cross-legged in the void as she protected Lin Mo and the Qilin. She even protected the people who had been implicated in the matter. The sound of the zither was graceful, and the runes of the Great Dao were dense, emitting a beautiful luster. In the next moment, a blazing light exploded, and Qin Ya¡¯s speed of playing the zither increased a little. The sea of fire was suppressed, and the Divine Chains of Order began to collapse. Even the heavens and earth were cooperating, sending down visions and using immortal qi to cater to the zither music. ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve just had a big dream. I¡¯ve comprehended the Dao¡­¡± Some of the creatures woke up and were freed from the zither music. They felt as if they had been baptized by the Great Dao Heavenly Melody and had a deeper understanding of the Dao Laws¡­ The zither music danced with the Immortal qi, piercing through the world, destroying the sea of fire, shattering all order, and obliterating everything in the world. ¡°What?¡± The Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master¡¯s heart pounded wildly. What kind of realm was this person at? His Dao of Fire was easily broken, and it could even be said to be a crushing defeat. At the critical moment, he activated his Dao Law and tried his best to resist the zither music. He retreated and avoided this terrifying attack. He quickly retreated. There was blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth and there was an ugly expression on his face. It was unexpected that the pavilion master of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, a person who was as powerful as an Emperor-to-be, would be humiliated like this today. ¡°Crack!¡± However, the zither music was not over yet. With the help of the power of heaven and earth. The terrifying sound waves hit the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master¡¯s body. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Even with his powerful physical body, he was still bleeding profusely. ¡°Rumble!¡± A strange phenomenon descended from the sky. Thunder rumbled as a lightning pillar as thick as a mountain smashed down and ruthlessly smashed onto the body of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master. This unavoidable attack caused the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master to cry out in pain. He struggled out of the lightning pillar, his body already charred black. Half of his body had lost consciousness, and his aura was weak. He was seriously injured. The scene was a little silent. Countless creatures widened their eyes. This was really too shocking. ¡°This is definitely a moment that will be recorded in history. The Emperor-to-be battle has ended so quickly¡­¡± ¡°Just who is this lady? Why is she so powerful? I have never heard of her before¡­¡± This result shocked many people. They couldn¡¯t believe it. This was especially so for the people from the Hidden Dragon Pavilion. They were shocked and didn¡¯t even dare to move, afraid that they would be punished. It was extremely terrifying. It could be said that he had fallen from the sky to the bottom of the valley today. They thought that after breaking the Hidden Dragon List, they would welcome a qualitative leap and everyone would obtain great fortune. However, the result was far beyond their expectations. They did not dare to imagine it. At this moment, they finally understood why the Bai Clan had agreed to let the Emperor-to-be stay out of the fight and let the others do whatever they wanted¡­ Just the extinct demonic beast Rainbow-Winged Bird, coupled with Lin Mo¡¯s Realm-Breaking Talisman, was enough to escape¡­ What¡¯s more, this mysterious woman was so terrifying that even an experienced Emperor-to-be had been severely injured in one move. ¡°Considering that it isn¡¯t easy for you to cultivate to the Emperor-to-be realm, I¡¯ll spare your life. Go back to where you came from.¡± Qin Ya did not kill them. As for the other Emperors-to-be of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, she ignored them and did not attack them. ¡°The three of you, are you still going to attack? If you insist on doing so, you will bear the consequences of your karma.¡± The three Emperors-to-be from the Imperial Clan didn¡¯t dare to respond to his threat. They had only heard about the Phoenix Maiden¡¯s origins from the clan leader. She was a mysterious existence. No one knew when she had come into existence or where she had come from. But one thing was for sure. The karma on her body was huge. This was deduced by the Supreme Emperor-to-be. This was also the reason why no one dared to provoke her. They were afraid of being implicated. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you¡¯ve given up.¡± As if she couldn¡¯t be bothered to wait, Qin Ya turned to look at Lin Mo. ¡°What about you? Are you going to stay in the Northern Continent or go back to the Eastern Continent? ¡± At this point, she looked at Yang Song, the blood axe, that was nearby and spoke again. ¡°I will bear the karma for breaking the oath!¡± Chapter 804 - 804 Choice 804 Choice ¡°There¡¯s no need to rush to make a decision. As for the Molin Chamber of Commerce that you just established, I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± Qin Ya looked at Lin Mo and raised her hand. Immortal light spread out and rays of light rose into the sky. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, she had constructed a super-large teleportation formation that could span an entire continent. Such a method shocked everyone, and they became even more curious about the identity of this mysterious woman. ¡°Wait a minute, I want to know, why are you protecting him?¡± The Emperor-to-be from the Huangfu Clan stood out and asked. The countless creatures who were present also wanted to know the answer. For a moment, countless gazes gathered on Qin Ya, hoping that she wouldn¡¯t mind telling the truth. ¡°This is what I promised him. Besides, he¡¯s from the Eastern Continent and has broken through the shackles. He has an extraordinary talent, and he¡¯s worthy of my attention.¡± ¡°Kid, why are you going back to the Eastern Peninsula? Why don¡¯t you come back with me to the Bai Clan? When that happens, no one will dare to touch you.¡± Blood Axe Yang Song asked Lin Mo to leave with him. In the distance, the Emperor-to-be of the three Imperial clans of the Northern Continent remained silent. The Bai Clan was very powerful. If Lin Mo brought the Qilin to the Bai Clan, no one would dare to touch them with the protection of the Emperor-level formation. [ System Mission: Build the headquarters of the Molin Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Continent¡¯s Demon State. ] [ Mission reward: The first Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine in the Inner World. ] Just as Lin Mo was at a loss as to what to do, another mission came from the system, which helped him to make his choice. With the Bai Clan¡¯s help, they had already agreed that the Emperor-to-be wouldn¡¯t deal with him. With the help of the Rainbow-Winged Bird, no one below the Emperor-to-be realm could touch him. In addition, the Demon State was chaotic and was a paradise for countless wanted people. It was a perfect place to hide. After considering it, Lin Mo looked at Qin Ya and wanted to speak, but Qin Ya shook her head and said, ¡± Go. The Imperial Clan won¡¯t attack you directly for the time being.¡± ¡°Senior, why are you helping me and even willing to join the Molin Chamber of Commerce?¡± Lin Mo asked. This was something he had never understood. ¡°This task was entrusted to me by someone to whom I am loyal,¡± said Qin Ya. ¡°I don¡¯t think I know any powerful existences, right?¡± Lin Mo was surprised. He had no background other than the Bai Clan. Qin Ya had obviously not been invited here by the Bai Clan. Perhaps her background was even stronger than the Bai Clan. ¡°You don¡¯t have to know them. It¡¯s enough for them to know you.¡± Qin Ya pointed to the sky and said, ¡°Anyone with outstanding talent will have existences paying attention to them. They want to see how far you can grow.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He suddenly thought of what had happened in the Eastern Peninsula. Without a doubt, the Heaven Mending Monument was a terrifying existence. Perhaps it was the Heaven-mending Tablet that was paying attention to him. Of course, this was only his guess. After all, he had rejected the Heaven-mending Tablet¡¯s request back then. He had not destroyed the God Devouring Body and cultivated the God Listening Art. Instead, he gave it to Jiang Xiyue. Perhaps the Heaven-mending Tablet was only paying attention to Jiang Xiyue. ¡°Why are you paying attention to us?¡± He continued to ask. ¡°I can¡¯t tell you that for now. Alright, stop talking nonsense. You¡¯d better leave quickly.¡± Qin Ya waved her hand, signaling Lin Mo to leave quickly. When Lin Mo and the Qilin stepped onto the teleportation formation, Qin Ya¡¯s transmitted voice could be heard in their minds. ¡°I¡¯ve changed the coordinates. The location of the teleportation has been locked. There¡¯s a very troublesome fellow there. Don¡¯t leave the spatial passageway. Use the Realm-Breaking Talisman to escape. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be in danger!¡± Lin Mo was instantly horrified. He walked into the teleportation formation without changing the expression on his face. In the next moment, the array formation erupted with Immortal light. The power of space spread and instantly took Lin Mo away. ¡°The fun is almost over. Everyone, you may leave.¡± Qin Ya glanced around. All the Emperors-to-be that she saw felt fear in their hearts. The look in their eyes changed, and no one could tell what they were thinking. Lin Mo flew through the space passage and crossed more than a hundred states in less than ten minutes. During this period, he had kept the Qilin in his Inner World to prevent any accidents from happening to her. At the same time, some changes occurred in the spatial passageway where he was. Layers of strange black mist lingered around Lin Mo as he looked down at the Immortal light around him. That was Qin Ya¡¯s power that was being used to protect him and prevent him from being crushed into pieces during the spatial travel. Lin Mo¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and discovered the true appearance of the black fog. ¡°It¡¯s a Spirit Devouring Bug. Didn¡¯t I use the Red Karmic Fire Lotus Seed to wash away the karma?¡± He was shocked. This thing could not be touched. He did not dare to be careless. He did not even make a move. He took out the Realm-Breaking Talisman and immediately activated his spiritual qi. A new spatial passageway appeared and brought Lin Mo away. This time, the black fog formed by the Spirit Devouring Bugs did not appear again so it was truly safe now. The Realm-Breaking Talisman that Xia You had given him had extraordinary effects. It could break through many world barriers. The Inner Space Great Dao had brought Lin Mo across hundreds of states in just a short while. Perhaps it was because it had broken through the layer of black fog, but after the Realm-Breaking Talisman was activated, it burned up completely. The number of times he could use it directly fell to zero. When he appeared from the spatial passageway, the Realm-Breaking Talisman in his hand had completely turned into ashes. Lin Mo silently sighed. It was a pity that such a rune had been destroyed just like that. ¡°Woooo!¡± He had just landed on the ground when he realized that he had appeared in a large desert area. An endless cacophony of horns could be heard all around him, one after another. Yellow sand covered the ground, and sandstorms occasionally raged, sweeping up sand and stones. Some of the sand dunes that they had passed by were swept up, and the demon beasts hidden in them were directly torn apart. The ground trembled slightly, and the sound of countless iron hooves could be heard. The sandstorm weakened, and he saw countless creatures in the desert. They were riding on demonic beast mounts and engaged in a battle that filled the sky. The bugle horn continued to ring. Some creatures saw Lin Mo and rushed over. They were led by a Quasi-Saint. In the next moment, Lin Mo turned around and realized that the person was not coming for him. Instead, he fell into the middle of the battlefield where the two armies were fighting. ¡°Buzz¡­¡± The space fluctuated as he entered the Inner World. He couldn¡¯t stay for too long in a battle with Quasi-Saints. In the Inner World, the Qilin was very worried. When she saw Lin Mo enter, she hurriedly went forward to ask for the results. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re safe now. Once we have a firm foothold in the Northern Continent, we¡¯ll go to the Southern Continent to look for the Bai Clan. ¡± Lin Mo comforted her and walked out of the Nine Elements Celestial-grade Dragon Vein with the Qilin. When they arrived near the Fire Spirit Lake, the other members of the Molin Chamber of Commerce were all in closed-door cultivation. They were also waiting for news that Lin Mo was safe and that the Molin Chamber of Commerce had been established. When they saw Lin Mo and the Qilin appear, they were all pleasantly surprised. Their eyes were filled with hope, the hope that Lin Mo would succeed. ¡°We didn¡¯t disappoint. The Molin Merchant Association has been established in the Demon State.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s words ignited the crowd. Even though they were very confident in Lin Mo, they still found it unbelievable. That was especially so when he heard that the Imperial Clan had appeared and that an Emperor-to-be had saved the situation, they looked at Lin Mo with even more admiration. Of course, they were also puzzled. Since Lin Mo was a member of the Bai Clan, why hadn¡¯t he followed them to the Southern Continent? With the Bai Clan¡¯s power, no one would dare to provoke him as long as he went to the Southern Continent. No senior would dare to covet his treasures. In the competition between his peers, even among the Imperial Clans, Lin Mo¡¯s only weakness was his cultivation level. Chapter 805 - 805 Shazhou 805 Shazhou However, Lin Mo did not give them an answer to this question. After comforting them, he allowed them to continue cultivating. The matter of the Nine Elements Celestial-grade dragon vein should not be made public yet. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t trust them, but that these people didn¡¯t cultivate Immortal Level cultivation techniques and didn¡¯t have a slightly stronger background. If they couldn¡¯t protect his sea of consciousness, the secrets they knew would be easily exposed. In the end, Lin Mo took Mao Zhu, Song Lian Xue, Feng Tian, and Zhao Tianyu to the Dragon Vein. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± The four of them had just arrived at the dragon vein when they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Nine giant white dragons soared into the sky, emitting immortal energy. As soon as they stepped foot, the four of them felt their cultivation speed increase, and their comprehension of the Dao Law became purer. ¡°This is a place where innate lifeforms are born. How did you find it?¡± Their eyes were filled with doubt. Even the Qilin¡¯s face looked like she was full of questions. Every once in a while, Lin Mo was able to obtain some treasures that were difficult to find in the outside world. She could feel that every reason Lin Mo had given was just an excuse¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to ask too many questions. You may cultivate here.¡± Lin Mo shook his head. It was better not to talk about such matters. Anyway, he would not harm them. It was not known when the battle outside would end. Fortunately, Lin Mo was also cultivating here, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. The nine white dragons occasionally flew out and roamed in the sky. Dragon roars echoed all around, but they did not disturb the crowd. On the contrary, while they were cultivating, hearing the dragon roars made them feel as if they were hearing the sound of the Great Dao, which was very beneficial. The next day, Lin Mo woke up from his cultivation. With a thought, he left the Inner World. When he reappeared in the desert, he saw that the war had already ended, and the ground was littered with wreckage. Countless demon beast corpses had been tossed aside. In addition, there were human remains with broken blades stabbed into them. The scene was extremely tragic. The smell of blood was thick, attracting many demon beasts to come and eat. He spread his Kun Peng wings and flew in a direction. The most important thing now was to figure out where this place was. The desert was huge and boundless. He used his extreme speed and ran along the way. During this time, he encountered countless beasts that had yet to develop their intelligence. Most of them were at the King Realm and were extremely cruel. They immediately attacked him the moment they saw him. Along the way, he experienced bloody battles and killed many fierce beasts, obtaining many precious inner cores. However, he wasn¡¯t satisfied with the quality of these pills. None of them were above Level 3 Heaven-class. ¡°That¡¯s right. This is no longer the ancient battlefield¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed lightly. It was normal to have such a harvest. It was a pity that the treasure land was gone. He did not know when he would be able to go there again. Suddenly, he stopped because he heard the sound of the horn again. It was very close to him, only a hundred miles away. Immediately after, the earth rumbled, and the yellow sand was swept up by the wind. Sand and stones flew in the air, forming a sandstorm in front of them. Soon, Lin Mo saw two groups of ten thousand cavalrymen charging in the sandstorm, their shouts were loud enough to shake the sky. ¡°It¡¯s not the one we met before. It seems like this place is very chaotic.¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The combat strength of these two armies was about the same, and they were fighting in the sky. The living beings below were also fighting. The commanders of both sides were Ninth Heavenly Layer Kings, infinitely close to the Quasi-Saint realm. He used his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to make sure that no Quasi-Saints were hiding in the dark before watching the battle with ease. Lin Mo realized that this was a battle between two demon beast tribes. One was a giant black wolf. Its body was as strong as a giant elephant. It was not covered with hair, but with scales that were as hard as steel. This made their defensive abilities shocking. They opened their bloody mouths and continued to attack. On the other side were the demonic centaurs. They held longbows in their hands, pulled away from each other, and nocked arrows. Every arrow that was shot out was accompanied by the fall of a giant wolf. Both sides had been holding grudges for a long time. The battle had been going on for half a day, and more than half of them had died. Lin Mo was shocked. In the end, the commanders of the two tribes gave the order to retreat, leaving thousands of corpses lying in the desert. After a long time, Lin Mo walked over and began to clean up the battlefield. He had obtained a large number of inner cores, most of which were of Earth-grade quality. The highest was three Level 9 Earth-grade inner cores. As for the blood essence, Lin Mo was too lazy to touch it. It was too much of a waste of time. After collecting thousands of inner cores, he quickly left the battlefield to avoid being seen by the creatures of the two tribes. Flying amongst the yellow sand, Lin Mo encountered many battlefields along the way. Unfortunately, he was discovered during his last attempt to dodge. The victor blew the horn and charged at Lin Mo. He had no choice but to use the Broken Moon Sword to repel the army. He captured a few soldiers and healed their injuries. He intended on asking where they were and why there was war everywhere. Being intimidated by Lin Mo¡¯s methods, they did not dare to resist. They answered all his questions. ¡°What prefecture is this? What place is this? Why is it so chaotic?¡± ¡°This is Shazhou, the yellow sand area of Tarry. For the sake of survival and territory, battles happen every day.¡± This state was filled with deserts, and oases were rare. They were controlled by a few powerful tribes, and it was said that the oases were the springs of life. ¡°Do you know how far the Demon State is from here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I¡¯ve heard of the Demon Suppression Region. It¡¯s adjacent to Shazhou¡­¡± The small group of people trembled, not daring to resist Lin Mo. They were afraid that their heads would fall to the ground in the next second. ¡°Where is the nearest city? Or where is the teleportation formation?¡± Lin Mo continued to ask. ¡°It¡¯s in the Kunyu Tribe. There¡¯s a Teleportation Formation there that leads directly to the Demon Suppressing Region. ¡± Lin Mo frowned when he heard this. This place was extremely chaotic. Would he be allowed to borrow the teleportation array? In the end, he got the information he wanted and learned what kind of place Shazhou was. It was said that a Great Emperor had fallen here. That Great Emperor had Earth-attribute laws and an innate divine power that controlled sand. The ancient era had ended, and the Great Emperor had fallen. This state had turned into a desert. The reason battles were frequent here was because of the inheritance. Who wouldn¡¯t want the inheritance of a Great Emperor? Even the forces of other states coveted Shazhou. Therefore, they sent their subordinates to build a force in Shazhou to get their hands on the Great Emperor¡¯s inheritance. Unfortunately, after searching for countless years, none of the forces ever found it. There was not even a trace of news related to the Great Emperor. It was as if everything had been buried under the yellow sand, leaving no trace of it. ¡°Just like the Demon State, this place is chaotic. It¡¯s a paradise for criminals and the home of wanted criminals¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. The only difference was that the forces here were intertwined and there were wars every day. It was not suitable for the development of the Molin Chamber of Commerce. Another thing was that the system¡¯s mission required him to build the headquarters of the Molin Chamber of Commerce in the Demon State. ¡°I don¡¯t know if the Great Emperor Ancient Scripture is real or fake. I¡¯ll come and take a look if I have the chance to do so in the future,¡± Lin Mo whispered and flew toward the Kunyu Tribe according to the person¡¯s directions. The Kunyu Tribe rejected his request to borrow the teleportation formation. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Lin Mo had such strength at such a young age and they felt that he had an extraordinary background, they would have attacked him quite early on. When Lin Mo took out a High-level divine medicine and gave it to the other party along with its root, the expressions on the faces of the people of the Kunyu Tribe immediately changed. Chapter 806 - 806 Devilfall Abyss 806 Devilfall Abyss Through the teleportation formation, he began to head to the Demon Suppressing Region. Perhaps it was because the teleportation formation was old. It took him five days to arrive at the Demon Suppression Region. Lin Mo walked down from the altar and walked along the streets. Unlike Shazhou, the cities in the Demon Suppression Region were very normal. There was no war and fighting was forbidden in the city. If there was any dispute, a special fighting arena would be arranged. ¡°The Demon State is a little far. It will take a long time to find a teleportation formation¡­¡± On the roadside, one of the merchants shook his head. He was experienced and knowledgeable, so he took out a map to give an explanation to Lin Mo. He pointed to two points on the map and said, ¡± Do you see? The Demon State is here. It¡¯s twenty-three states away from the Demon Suppression Region. It¡¯ll take about half a year to get there by using the Teleportation Formation. ¡± This was true because not every city had a teleportation formation that could directly reach other states. He needed to go to some major cities, and every time the formation was activated, he would need to consume a large number of spiritual stones. Thus, it was necessary to wait for tens of thousands of people to pay the fees before they could activate the formation and send them on their way. This was undoubtedly a waste of time and Lin Mo couldn¡¯t wait that long. ¡°I wonder if the next system mission will be refreshed if this system mission is not completed¡­¡± As he muttered to himself, Lin Mo bid farewell to the merchants and arrived at the center of the city. For professional reasons, the first place he went to was the auction house, the Thousand Medicine House, the largest chamber of commerce in the city. Every day, an auction would be held here, selling all kinds of treasures. However, all of the grades were very low, and there were not many treasures that could be taken out. Only during the monthly special auction would masters be invited from all over the world to come and auction off precious treasures. ¡°Sir, do you want to put something up for auction or participate in the auction?¡± A waiter came up and asked Lin Mo. ¡°Please help me auction this.¡± Lin Mo hesitated for a moment and took out three Level 9 Earth Realm inner cores. For safety reasons, he didn¡¯t want to attract attention with the Heaven-grade divine medicine. ¡°Sir, are you sure?¡± The waiter was shocked and quickly led Lin Mo to the appraisal room. After the appraisal, the three inner cores were auctioned off, and Lin Mo successfully obtained the membership card to the Thousand Medicine House. Soon, he was led into his private room by two maids. Many creatures cast their gazes over, curious as to who had come to today¡¯s auction. By the time he took his seat, the auction was actually nearing its end. At this moment, a Level 8 Earth Realm sword was being auctioned off, and it was highly sought after by many people. ¡°How desolate. I wonder what the finale is¡­¡± Lin Mo was feeling helpless. In fact, he was not interested in the finale treasure. After all, this was just an ordinary auction of the Thousand Medicine House. In fact, he was the only one in the private room. The rest of the private rooms were empty. Spreading out his soul power, he could sense that the strongest person in the hall had only just reached the King realm. Such strength was nothing in his eyes. Out of respect for every auction, Lin Mo didn¡¯t leave the venue. Instead, he planned to watch the entire auction. He sat in the private room and watched the competition. Soon, the three inner cores of his were presented and were auctioned together. ¡°After being tested, these are the inner cores of two giant black-scaled wolves and one centaur. Their spiritual qi is well preserved.¡± ¡°This item is the second last item in this auction. Any friends who are interested, don¡¯t miss it.¡± As the auctioneer spoke, he would occasionally glance at Lin Mo¡¯s private room. From the moment Lin Mo had entered the auction until now, there had not been a single item that could attract the attention of this distinguished guest. He only hoped that these three inner cores would attract his attention. However, what he did not know was that these three inner cores were from Lin Mo. The three inner cores were successfully auctioned off to a few King Realm masters. From the beginning to the end, Lin Mo had not made a single bid. This disappointed the auctioneer. He struck the auction hammer and asked the maid to take the inner core down. ¡°Next is the last treasure of this auction.¡± ¡°Just like yesterday, today¡¯s treasure is a map, a map of the Devilfall Abyss. ¡± As soon as he said this, the entire place booed. Obviously, in their eyes, this so-called map was definitely not something good. [ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off three Level 9 Earth Realm Demon Beast Inner Cores. ] [ Triggered 5,000 times auction rebate. ] [ Congratulations to the host for obtaining three Level 1 Heaven Realm Demon Beast Inner Cores. ] ¡°Devilfall Abyss?¡± Lin Mo, who was in the private room, had just heard the system¡¯s rebate and tossed the three inner cores aside. Suddenly, he heard that the finale treasure had appeared. When he realized that it was a map, his interest was immediately piqued. He looked at the sheepskin scroll in the auctioneer¡¯s hand. Lin Mo immediately shook his head as he looked over. He felt that it was most likely fake. Although the map gave off a strong sense of history, it gave people a feeling that it had been there for a long time. However, with his sharp soul power, how could he mistake it? This thing was less than a month old, and the traces of forgery were too serious. ¡°Everyone, this is the last item that has remained unsold for the past few days.¡± The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The fact that the item had failed to be sold off in the past several days was enough to explain the problem. However, the seller still insisted on auctioning it off, so they couldn¡¯t refuse. As a result, it could only continue to fail one after another, which also caused the reputation of the Ten Thousand Medicine House to be affected to a certain extent. ¡°With my luck, if I insist on buying it, will it turn waste into treasure?¡± Lin Mo murmured. However, he found that the two maids were still standing guard outside the private room and asked them about the Devilfall Abyss. ¡°Milord, you might not know, but the Devilfall Abyss is a dangerous place a million kilometers away from here. It is said that there are Immmortal-grade treasures buried below, but no one knows if it is true.¡± ¡°Moreover, the method of entering the Devilfall Abyss is very special. There is almost no pattern to it.¡± The maid told Lin Mo that this map had been brought by a group of mercenaries who insisted that it was a treasure. Originally, this kind of auction was not allowed. However, because this mercenary group had a powerful background, the Thousand Medicine House did not dare to offend them. Therefore, they could only agree to the auction, which also led to the unsold auctions in the past few days. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Lin Mo stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. He was not short of spiritual stones. Moreover, it would take seven days for the teleportation formation in this city to activate. He might as well take this opportunity to see if the Devilfall Abyss was really as the legends said. ¡°Sir, you want to buy it?¡± The two maids were surprised. The price of this map was 100 supreme-grade spiritual stones. Lin Mo offered the lowest price, and no one else participated in the bidding. He successfully took it and left beneath the stunned gazes of the two maids. After getting the map, he flew towards the location marked on the map without stopping. It said that there was a spatial rift on the map. Through the crack, one could enter the Devilfall Abyss to search for supreme immortal treasures. Lin Mo maintained a skeptical attitude towards this. If he had not been really bored, he wouldn¡¯t have come to check. Ten minutes later, Lin Mo arrived at the entrance of a mountain stream. The crack recorded on the map was in the deepest part of the mountain stream. There were several powerful demon beasts entrenched and guarding the entrance. After clearing the beasts in a few moves, Lin Mo went deep into the mountain stream. He did not see the so-called spatial rift. Instead, he found a new rift. However, he did not know where it led to¡­ Chapter 807 - 807 Conspiracy 807 Conspiracy He was very curious about this place because there was a strong smell of blood outside the crack. As he flew down, a strong gravitational force suddenly hit him. His body descended rapidly until he spread his Kun Peng Wings. Only then did he slow down and stop in midair. Lin Mo frowned. He had only just arrived here, yet he had already encountered such a phenomenon. What was down there? Could there really be a treasure? He was a little hesitant. It was very likely that there would be danger if he continued to go down because the gravity would become stronger the further he went. In the end, even the Kun Peng Wings may not be able to help him escape. After hesitating for a long time, he took out an attack talisman and a defensive talisman, ready to use the Realm-Breaking Talisman at any time. Even if he encountered danger, he could escape. After taking all precautions, he flapped his wings and flew down. The gravitational force became stronger and stronger, and the light became dimmer and dimmer until it finally turned into nothingness. He tried to use his spiritual qi to light up the surroundings, but he found that the circulation of spiritual qi in his body was blocked. Powerful spatial fluctuations came from the surroundings. It was extremely chaotic, causing people to feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. He released his soul power and finally opened his Eye of Martial Arts to observe his surroundings. The bottom of the crack was very deep, as if it reached the depths of the earth. By the time he felt his feet on the ground, Lin Mo had already fallen hundreds of miles. What surprised him was that it seemed to be an abandoned ancient mining area. There were some ores that emitted spiritual qi in the surroundings. They were all raw ores that needed to be refined before they could be used. This made Lin Mo frown. He felt that he had come for nothing. This was an abandoned mine. The treasures inside had already been dug out, so it was likely that there were any left. That was¡­ unless it was a mine that had been abandoned for more than a hundred thousand years. It would then be possible for new precious minerals to be born. ¡°Yes, there are fluctuations from the formation.¡± Suddenly, Lin Mo sensed something. He walked forward and noticed something strange in the cracks in the ground ahead. He walked into the crack as he held the defensive talisman tightly. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively chose to go deeper. Below them was an underground cave. Stalactites hung down, proving that this place had a long history. Lin Mo wasn¡¯t interested in this. He only continued to look ahead. In the depths, there was a faint chaotic luster blooming. ¡°It looks like this trip was quite worth it¡­¡± He was slightly shocked. A Dao Palace had appeared before him. It was extremely grand, and the closer he got, he became more and more shocked. In front of the magnificent Dao Palace stood a huge statue. It was not clear what material it had been carved from, but it was emitting a chaotic aura. It was immortal, as if it was alive. ¡°What kind of creature is this?¡± Lin Mo was puzzled. Of course, what shocked him the most was that there the statue was bound to a chain. The chains were connected to the Dao Palace, which bound it firmly in place. It had stood there for tens of millions of years, giving off an ancient feeling. The door to the Dao Palace was wide open, and the chaotic aura that Lin Mo sensed came from within. This caused Lin Mo to be unable to make up his mind. As he looked at the Dao Palace, he felt that there might be a treasure inside. Of course, there could also be hidden dangers. Basically, with his strength, he did not have the ability to protect himself in the face of danger. ¡°Rumble!¡± Suddenly, a loud rumble echoed in his mind. It had come from the Dao Palace behind the statue. Loud sounds came from the chains, which were connected to the depths. It was unknown what it was. At this moment, Lin Mo¡¯s expression changed and his entire body turned cold. He stared ahead and activated his Eye of Martial Arts to the extreme so that he observe carefully. He had already activated the defensive talisman in his hand. Although he would use up one of his chances, he still had to be careful of any sudden danger. At the same time, he communicated with his Inner World and prepared to escape at any time. The Realm-Breaking Talisman, the defensive talisman, and the Inner World were the reasons why he even dared to explore this place. However, even though he waited outside the Dao Palace and even got a little closer, nothing happened. The door to the Dao Palace was wide open, but it was not clear what was inside. Runes flowed on the statue, connecting it to the Dao Palace through the chains which gave off a creepy feeling. ¡°It looks like a seal¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes narrowed. The runes on the chains had the ability to seal. The statue looked like a creature that had been sealed in the Dao Palace. Of course, it might not be a creature. Lin Mo didn¡¯t find anything after a series of investigations. He couldn¡¯t even see through his eye of Martial Arts. After a slight hesitation, Lin Mo stepped forward. This place was very strange and mysterious, which aroused his curiosity. ¡°Woooo!¡± All of a sudden, the statue in front of the Dao Palace whimpered, and a black shadow charged at Lin Mo. It was like a living being with an icy cold aura. Lin Mo was suddenly jolted awake and he immediately stepped back. The defensive talisman was attacked and a huge crack actually appeared. He quickly dodged and was taken aback. When he saw it clearly, he was even more shocked. It was a bat the size of a human head. Its black bat wings were covered with purple-gold patterns. Its sharp fangs were dark gold in color and it was extremely ferocious. It attacked Lin Mo continuously and bit him. Lin Mo did not sense any life aura from him. Instead, a deathly power enveloped the surroundings. Lin Mo was surprised. After the bat¡¯s continuous attacks, its body dissipated and finally turned into a black gas that disappeared. ¡°The main body died a long time ago. This is only due to the influence of the runes.¡± He muttered, feeling that this was quite an extraordinary atmosphere. It was just a rune on a statue, but it was actually able to have such an effect and burst out with the attack power of a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to wait for a period of time before I can explore again¡­¡± After some consideration, Lin Mo shook his head. He really wanted to enter the Dao Palace, but he knew his own strength. It would be better to wait for the Rainbow-Winged Bird to find him, and then continue with another ultimate powerful being by his side. ¡°I¡¯m going elsewhere.¡± He turned his head away. He couldn¡¯t enter the Dao Palace. This place was very strange, and there was nothing good in this ancient mine. Ultimately, he wanted to cover this place so that no one could enter. Since he could find this place by relying on the map, it would be hard to guarantee that others would not see it and leak the news. Unfortunately, no matter what method he used, it would be ineffective. There was no other way. Formations and runes could not cover the entire ancient mine area. An inexplicable chaotic qi was constantly spreading out. ¡°That¡¯s not right. This chaotic qi is so obvious. Why didn¡¯t anyone notice it before?¡± Lin Mo found something suspicious. He flew out of the crack and resisted the powerful gravitational force. He was about to fly to the ground. ¡°Is someone there?¡± Before he arrived, his sharp soul power detected an abnormality. There was a large number of creatures guarding the surface. As the spiritual qi gathered, Lin Mo used the World-changing Technique to conceal everything and quietly hide. ¡°That¡¯s not right. That person doesn¡¯t have a special physique, right? Why isn¡¯t there a new soul born in the black prison?¡± ¡°The Chaos Jade can¡¯t be wrong. Could it be that he¡¯s not dead yet? ¡± ¡°Perhaps that brat has never come here before¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s hair stood on end when he heard the sounds of conversation. Killing intent spread in his eyes. ¡°So, someone is scheming against me¡­¡± He muttered to himself. Chapter 808 - 808 Turmoil in the North Road 808 Turmoil in the North Road It was no wonder that no one had noticed it before even though this place was so obvious. Or rather, it had already been discovered but these people had secretly set up a trap to lure people here to be killed? ¡°The Chaos Jade they are talking about is a pretty good treasure¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. Now that he knew the truth, there was no need to say anything more. He removed his disguise and walked out. ¡°It¡¯ll be a pleasant surprise. I¡¯ll take the Chaos Jade and leave for the Demon State,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. As long as the person behind all this was not too strong, he could use the Broken Moon Sword to take the Chaos Jade away. ¡°Be alert.¡± When he appeared, the few people who had been talking to each other immediately became alert and stared at Lin Mo. ¡°It¡¯s you.¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes turned cold. It was the person from the Thousand Medicines House who had appraised his inner core. ¡°You are indeed extraordinary. You have not even reached the Quasi-Saint stage, yet you managed to make it out of there¡­¡± The appraiser¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Mo. As they spoke, a large group of people rushed over and surrounded Lin Mo. They held their weapons tightly in their hands as they seemed to have formed a battle formation. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder your Thousand Medicine House is only one of them,¡± Lin Mo sneered as he attacked his opponent. ¡°You¡¯re courting death.¡± A middle-aged man sneered. With a clang, he brandished a battle spear that was covered in a golden light. This was a powerful magic weapon that carried immortal qi and had the potential to advance to a Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon. The spear turned into a dragon and flew toward Lin Mo. ¡°No matter how you managed to escape, you will just have to obediently become a vengeful spirit of this place,¡± the steward of Thousand Medicine House sneered. The others also looked at Lin Mo mockingly. There were hundreds of people guarding this place, and Lin Mo was only at the King Level. It was impossible that anything would happen. Moreover, hundreds of them could form a battle formation and block off the space. They had come here to prevent any accidents from happening and ultimately, it had been the right decision. The Kun Peng wings on Lin Mo¡¯s back spread open, and his figure disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already behind the burly man. With a loud bang, he struck out with the palm of his hand, destroying the protective spiritual qi of this person and killing him. He grabbed the spear and kept it in his Inner World. Then, he formed a sword with his fingers, and a dazzling sword light burst out from his fingers as he attacked the appraiser of the Thousand Medicine House. ¡°Eh? An elite among Kings who has mastered a great roc technique?¡± The appraiser from the Thousand Medicines House was stunned. Flames appeared on his body as he blocked the sword. At the same time, the surrounding battle formations were activated. The fighting spirit of more than a hundred people gathered in one place, allowing the appraiser to unleash even more power. ¡°He is already a Quasi-Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. This battle formation was not bad. There were only 100 people, but it had allowed him to cross the Quasi-Saint Stage. ¡°What a pity. No matter what, you will die here today.¡± The appraiser sneered. Flaming wings grew out of his back, and he held a battle flag in his hand as he charged at Lin Mo. Lin Mo extended his soul power and checked the surroundings. He did not find any hidden experts. The most powerful person here was the appraiser. With the help of the battle formation, he had already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. However, due to his insufficient comprehension of the laws, it was difficult for him to unleash his strength. Without wasting any time, Lin Mo unsheathed the Broken Moon Sword and a strong sword light burst out from his body. Almost in an instant, the majestic fighting spirit was cut off. The terrifying sword qi destroyed everything, including life. ¡°Pfft!¡± The appraiser was shocked. He opened his mouth but could not make a sound. What had pierced through his chest was a moon-white sword. ¡°This is¡­ an Immortal sword?¡± Among the hundreds people in the rear, there were some creatures who were still alive and hadn¡¯t been killed yet. Some of them staggered and flew up, wanting to escape. ¡°Bang!¡± Lin Mo turned around and kicked the appraiser, breaking his bones and breaking his body. With just one blow, the battle formation was shattered, and hundreds of people suffered heavy casualties. Blood flowed all over the ground. Fifteen minutes later, Lin Mo tidied up the battlefield and returned it to its original state. Other than spiritual stones, all of these people didn¡¯t have anything good in their possession. He couldn¡¯t even be bothered to auction off the magic weapons. He allowed the Broken Moon Sword to directly devour the essence within and walked towards the headquarters of the Thousand Medicine House. He did not find the Chaos Jade. It was a pretty good treasure, and it seemed to be able to see some of his background so he could not miss it. Two hours later, Lin Mo stood proudly in the center of a glorious city. He concealed his figure and covered himself with runes. With the Broken Moon Sword in hand, a few sword lights came down in a slashing motion and killed the owner of the Thousand Medicine House. ¡°Such a small city actually has a Quasi-Saint guarding it¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. He had almost been killed earlier from the attack by a Quasi-Saint. Fortunately, the other party¡¯s combat strength was really weak. In addition, he had underestimated him. He was hit head-on by the Broken Moon Sword and killed on the spot. Even so, the burden on Lin Mo was still huge. His realm was still a little lacking. He only had one chance to attack a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Is this the Chaos Jade?¡± Arriving at the treasury of the Thousand Medicine House, he followed his intuition and walked straight to the deepest part of the treasury. He found a jade stone that was half a square meter. It was embedded in the formation and was the core of the whole Thousand Medicine House. ¡°Clang!¡± The sword qi buzzed as the Broken Moon Sword flew out uncontrollably and slashed at the jade stone. With a crack, the jade stone was shattered. The essence within was absorbed by the Broken Moon Sword, turning into essence that fused into the sword. After collecting all the treasures in the treasure vault, Lin Mo turned around and left. He didn¡¯t choose to stay in this city. He flew over the boundless mountain range and rushed to the next city. In the end, he took the teleportation formation and gradually left this place. The next time he came, he would be with the Rainbow-Winged Bird. At that time, he would thoroughly investigate what exactly was in the Dao Palace. What followed was a three-month long journey. He constantly took teleportation formations and traveled to various provinces. When he finally arrived at the Demon State, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, there is no time limit for this mission¡­¡± Lin Mo sighed. The Molin Chamber of Commerce was about to be established. After that, he would no longer be able to live freely. It was likely that troubles would also continue to appear because of this¡­ In three months, the news of the ancient battlefield had already spread. The Hidden Dragon List were split open, and the Emperors were finally drawn out. Even the Emperors of the Southern Continent had come. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that Lin Mo to actually come from the Eastern Continent¡­¡± ¡°So, there are actually still living beings on that broken continent. I thought that it had already decayed¡­¡± The news was spreading in all the cities of the Demon State. This was especially so with regards to Qin Ya. She had suppressed the Hidden Dragon Pavilion Master and made the Imperial Clan retreat. She had a karma that the Imperial Clan feared. Of course, Xiao Yun, Young Master White Fox, Tang Ru, and the others were also praised because the final battle had been won by five people. No one knew what had happened in the end, but they could all guess that these five people had obtained a great opportunity, a great opportunity. One of the things he could confirm was that Tang Ru had obtained the True Dragon Spell Technique, the true supreme inheritance. For the past three months, the entire Northern Continent had not been peaceful and the people at every level were busy. Of course, the ones who were most excited were the various sect masters and supreme masters. Because the Hidden Dragon Pavilion had already been disbanded, the Dragon State had no master. A new competition would erupt, and they would fight for resources¡­ Chapter 809 - 809 Fire City of the Demon State 809 Fire City of the Demon State ¡°Do you still remember what happened a long time ago?¡± On top of a mountain peak, the Qilin was standing beside Lin Mo. Suddenly thinking of something, she had asked Lin Mo this question. ¡°What?¡± Lin Mo was stunned. After coming to the Demon State, he had been thinking about how to establish a force, how to choose a location, and how to allocate positions. After thinking about it, he felt that it was very unrealistic. Without the help of the Rainbow-Winged Bird, it would be very difficult for him to hold an auction. If the treasures auctioned were too precious, it would be very easy for them to be snatched away. After all, this was not the ancient battlefield where he alone was enough to intimidate most people. Outside, there was a large group of Quasi-Saints. There were even Saints. Now, the treasures he wanted to auction off were all treasures above Level 5 Heaven Class. Sometimes, he would even come to sell Quasi-Immortal Level immortal medicine. Even if it was just a leaf, it would be enough to cause a sensation. ¡°We¡¯ve been to the Demon State before and we were robbed then. Have you forgotten?¡± The Qilin said. She still harbored this grudge. Back then, because she had not been a match for her opponent, she had been forced to hand over the treasure to save her life. Now that Lin Mo had the power to fight a Quasi-Saint and was in the Demon State, she just had to take revenge. ¡°It¡¯s not that big of a deal¡­¡± Lin Mo facepalmed. He had thought that something was wrong, but in the end, it had only been this¡­ Back then, they had not been strong enough, so it had been normal for them to be robbed. That Quasi-Saint had not made things difficult for them. As time passed, he had gradually forgotten about what had happened back then. ¡°You still want to go back?¡± Lin Mo said helplessly. ¡°Since we have nothing to do anyway, we can occupy his city and form a Chamber of Commerce there,¡± said the Qilin as she rubbed her hands together and helped Lin Mo make a decision. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Fire City, the city where Lin Mo and the Qilin had stayed, was now back. Everything was normal here. ¡°I can¡¯t sense the aura of a Quasi-Saint¡­¡± When the two of them appeared, Fire City was still bustling with people, but there were no signs of a Quasi-Saint. ¡°It can¡¯t be that he ran away¡­¡± the Qilin said unwillingly. This was unreasonable¡­ ¡°He might have gone out for something¡­¡± Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively. He didn¡¯t have much of a grudge against the person, so he couldn¡¯t be bothered to chase after the person even if they had run away. At this moment, he was walking in Fire City as he listened to the discussions of the people around him. ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s take over his nest. When he comes back, the expression on his face will be very interesting to see.¡± The Qilin clapped her hands in anticipating of an attack. Lin Mo hurriedly held her down. This little girl was not willing to stop for even a moment. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s attack¡­¡± After thinking about it carefully, Lin Mo let go of the Qilin and allowed her to attack. Since the system mission was there, he couldn¡¯t just not do it. The Chamber of Commerce would be established sooner or later, so he might as well occupy this place. Unexpectedly, the occupation of Fire City went smoothly. Not many people resisted, and the city lord didn¡¯t run away. It turned out that the Demon State was in chaos. There would also be disputes between various forces and cities. The Fire City Lord had lost his life in the last war, and now, this city was ungoverned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that we are going to fight someone right after occupying it¡­¡± In the City Lord¡¯s estate, the Qilin was sitting on the sofa, feeling a little bored. When she heard someone reporting the situation to Lin Mo, she was instantly dissatisfied. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Because Fire City has a relatively large flow of people, there are many people who are eyeing this city,¡± said the person who was making the report as he looked at Lin Mo and the Qilin curiously. He knew some of the names of these two. Hence, when they had appeared and expressed their intention to take over Fire City, he had immediately led his men to surrender. That was in spite of the later rumors that the Emperor-to-be who had stood up for Lin Mo would not be protecting him. However, there was still a powerful Absolute Saint. To normal Kings like them, that was a supreme existence. But from the looks of it, the Absolute Saint wasn¡¯t here. If that was the case, could these two juniors really defend Fire City? Such a thought appeared in his mind, but he did not dare to say anything. After receiving Lin Mo¡¯s order, he went down to announce the news. [ Mission completed. The first Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine has been born in the Inner World. ] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind, reminding him that the mission had been completed. Fire City had been taken over and changed to Lin City. The news about the Molin Chamber of Commerce had also just been announced. Lin Mo was still very curious about the Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine. He immediately brought the Qilin in to check it out. The Inner World had become bigger, or rather, there were more places with land. An endless mountain range appeared in one area. The mountain peak was silver-white in color, and there were many crystal mines above it. Lin Mo¡¯s eyes widened and he swallowed hard. ¡°Even ordinary mountain rocks are low grade spiritual stones¡­¡± Never in his wildest dreams had he expected that the so-called first Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine would be so huge, covering an area of nearly 500,000 miles. As far as his eyes could see, it was all spiritual stones. Low-grade spiritual stones had become ordinary mountain rocks, and Middle-grade spiritual stones were just larger stones. There were countless High-grade spiritual stones and countless Supreme-grade spiritual stones were buried below. ¡°In terms of value, it is not inferior to the Nine-Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein¡­¡± Lin Mo said in a low voice. With such a mineral vein, why would he need to worry about cultivation resources? He had never seen other Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mines, but he was sure that those that had appeared on the battlefield were definitely not as good as his. ¡°To be able to produce so many Supreme-grade spiritual stones, what¡¯s buried below must not be simple,¡± said the Qilin as she pointed below. Generally speaking, in order to produce a Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine, one needed to put the rough embryo of a Supreme-grade spiritual stone into a High-grade Spiritual Stone Mine. However, it was not so easy to form such a huge spirit ore. Not to mention this huge mine that covered 500,000 li. ¡°Should we get someone to mine it?¡± Qilin asked. It was also a problem how to use such a huge spirit ore, because this was a small world that was controlled by Lin Mo. It was best not to let too many people in. However, with just their manpower, they could at most dig up 10,000 to 20,000 Supreme-grade spiritual stones every day¡­ ¡°Let¡¯s not make a move for now,¡± said Lin Mo shook his head. He had no intention of publicizing this spiritual mine. The Nine-Element Celestial-Grade Dragon Vein was the most suitable place for the Qilin to enter seclusion. It was extremely beneficial for her cultivation. However, it was not suitable for him. Moreover, every time he cultivated, he would damage the dragon vein. Relatively speaking, this spiritual mine was the most suitable place for him to cultivate. In the future, if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he could cultivate here directly. Not only would it not affect him, but he would also not have to expend so much effort to mine Supreme-grade spiritual stones. After settling down in Lin City, the news of the Molin Chamber of Commerce spread. One after another, people came to investigate this place during this period of time. Even the forces that had wanted to attack this place hesitated. This was because they were unsure of Lin Mo¡¯s current background. If the rumors were true, Lin Mo not only had the backing of the Imperial Clan from the Southern Continent, but there was also a woman who even the three Imperial Clans from the Northern Continents were wary of. No matter what, these people would not dare to act rashly. Of course, at any time, just deterrence was far from enough. After occupying Lin City for a month, the first problem finally arrived. At this moment, Lin Mo was standing on the city wall. Outside were three mighty armies. Of course, what worried them the most were the three Quasi-Saint powerhouses in front of the army¡­ Chapter 810 - 810 Starfire Sect 810 Starfire Sect ¡°These three Quasi-Saints¡­ If they came before the formation was completed, I would really have to be wary,¡± Lin Mo said softly. The Three Gods Sword Formation had been set up, and with the Broken Moon Sword, he was not afraid even when facing a High-level Quasi-Saint. Outside the city gate, the three Saint-to-be stepped forward. One of them was wearing a purple robe. He was frowning slightly and the look in his eyes was cold. His body exuded an aura that looked as if he could suppress the world, which made Lin Mo very familiar with the swordsmanship that was practiced by the other party. ¡°That¡¯s Qin Chong, the sect master of the Starfire Sect.¡± Someone beside Lin Mo reminded him of the other party¡¯s information. ¡°The Starfire Sect has three armies and three Saint-to-be masters. They are all here today.¡± The people behind Lin Mo began to tremble. The Fire City Lord had died under the combined attacks of these three people. If Lin Mo were to be defeated today, the newly renamed Lin City would become the territory of the Starfire Sect. ¡°Haha, I believe you must be the God Devouring Body Lin Mo, who has been in the limelight recently, right?¡± The sect master of the Starfire Sect laughed and walked forward as he invited Lin Mo out of the city as if he merely wanted to catch up with him. ¡°Should we attack directly?¡± The Qilin rubbed her hands together in anticipation. As long as the formation was activated, even if it were only her and Lin Mo, they would be able to destroy all three armies. ¡°Could it be that the Starfire Sect has led their army here just to reminisce about the past?¡± Lin Mo sneered. What was meant to happen had finally happened. He still had no backer and could only rely on himself. Perhaps the three people in front of him had received instructions from some large faction to come and challenge them. He understood that if he couldn¡¯t block it, or if he showed signs of weakness, what he would have to face next would be an endless pursuit that would be like a storm. As for the Bai Clan, the mountains were high and the Emperor was far away so it was difficult for their reputation to spread here. In fact, most of the cultivators in the Southern Continent didn¡¯t even know that there was an Imperial Clan called the Bai Clan in the Northern Continent. ¡°I just want to see how real the rumored God Devouring Body is. ¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Suddenly, the formation patterns lit up, and the two formation flags fluttered in the wind. Lin Mo and the Qilin¡¯s aura instantly rose to the Second Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm and continued to rise. ¡°What a mysterious formation. Do we really have to provoke him?¡± Someone from the Starfire Sect whispered as he looked at Lin Mo with some fear. ¡°Shut up. We have to take this city today, no matter what,¡± the Starfire Sect Master said coldly as he stared at Lin Mo. ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s there to be afraid of? It¡¯s just a formation, a low-level technique,¡± said a Quasi-Saint. ¡°Leave him alive,¡± Lin Mo instructed as he stepped out with the Qilin. As they walked into the void, wisps of sword qi spread out and formed an invisible sword domain, causing the entire world to tremble slightly. ¡°Who asked you to come and challenge us? Tell me honestly and I won¡¯t kill you,¡± he said softly, with the Broken Moon Sword unsheathed. The sword qi on his body became even more dazzling. ¡°Let¡¯s attack together and form a battle formation,¡± shouted the Starfire Sect Master. After seeing Lin Mo take out the immortal sword, the greed in his eyes could not be suppressed. The other two Quasi-Saint Elders attacked, but they were blocked by the Qilin. The Ancient Qilin Tree soared into the sky, and thousands of Divine Chains of Order fell down. The Qilin pattern spread out, sealing the void and isolating everything. As for the three armies behind them, they were also blocked by the Qilin. The battle formation lost its effect as the Ancient Qilin Tree sealed everything and suppressed them. ¡°You have a certain treasure on you that the Broken Moon Sword desires. Take it out,¡± Lin Mo said softly. The person in front of him was at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm, which was slightly higher than him, but it was nothing to him. What he really cared about was the trump card that the other party had hidden. It must have been given to him by the person who had secretly instigated this attack. To be able to pique the Broken Moon Sword¡¯s interest, it was very likely that it was a Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapon. ¡°Boom!¡± The space cracked open, and violent explosions filled the air. All kinds of martial arts techniques spread out, causing the entire place to begin to boil. The Qilin was able to fight two of the Saints-to-be at the same level with ease. She didn¡¯t feel any pressure at all. The sect master of the Starfire Sect also made his move. A jade book appeared in his hand, which was engraved with many complicated patterns. Just then, an immortal light rippled, causing even the whole of Lin City to shake a little. Divine Chains of Order extended from the jade book and suppressed the space. It was the same effect as the Ancient Qilin Tree. The Broken Moon Sword was also suppressed after the space was sealed. All Lin Mo felt was that it was a little difficult to circulate the spiritual qi in his body. Of course, it was only a slight difficulty. When the Soul-Devouring Art technique was activated, such obstacles were meaningless. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Lin Mo sneered. The Broken Moon Sword slashed out, and the soaring sword qi erupted. The Divine Chains of Order broke inch by inch, and the jade book was sent flying. ¡°Who could it have been that would be able to give you a treasure of this level?¡± Lin Mo said as he looked at the Starfire Sect Master curiously. At this moment, even though the other party¡¯s cultivation realm was one level higher than his, there was nothing that person could do to save the situation. Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapons were not something that a Quasi-Saint could use, and naturally, they were not something that a Quasi-Saint could block. The moment he lost the jade book, he had already lost. Lin Mo held the Broken Moon Sword to his throat. ¡°Tell me. If I¡¯m satisfied with the result, I can spare your life.¡± ¡°Buzz!¡± There was a rhythmic movement in the air. The jade book that had been sent flying had a spirit. At that moment, it shattered the void in its bid to escape. In the next moment, the Broken Moon Sword began to act on its own. It exploded with sword light and severely injured the sect master from the Starfire Sect after breaking free from Lin Mo¡¯s palm. ¡°Hey!¡± The moon-white sword light slashed down, cutting off the jade book from the space. ¡°Hmph!¡± A muffled groan came from the void. A mysterious force spread out, wanting to take the jade book away. However, ever since the Broken Moon Sword had decided to help Lin Mo and allowed him use it in advance¡­ Along the way, he had devoured many treasures of heaven and earth, many of which could be refined into Quasi-Immortal Level magic weapons. This had also led to the Broken Moon Sword¡¯s advancement from the initial Quasi-Immortal Level to its current unfathomable realm. Sometimes, its strength shocked even Lin Mo. It was extremely strong. ¡°These people are so weak. They are far inferior to the ones we met in the Hidden Dragon List¡­¡± Not far away, the Qilin flew over with two heavily injured Quasi-Saints and threw them in front of Lin Mo. In a battle of the same cultivation level, her combat strength was unparalleled. Even Lin Mo would have to fight a hard battle against her and might not even win. How could these two people, who had only reached the Second Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm, be a match for the Qilin? ¡°Can you be honest now?¡± Lin Mo looked ahead. Suddenly, the void split open, and a pair of huge palms slapped out, sending a terrifying force toward Lin Mo. ¡°Step back,¡± Lin Mo shouted coldly and instantly dodged together with the Qilin. ¡°Boom!¡± In the next moment, the place exploded. The three Quasi-Saints of the Starfire Sect had not even left any fragments behind. The entire area was crushed and annihilated in the void. ¡°Clang!¡± The Broken Moon Sword returned, and the Ancient Qilin Tree was also summoned back to protect the two of them. ¡°It¡¯s a Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes were solemn. The real trouble was coming. This might be the owner of the jade book, or it might be the person who had secretly instigated the attack. But no matter what it was, both he and the Qilin couldn¡¯t deal with it with the Three Gods Sword Formation. Once he faced a Quasi-Saint, the newly established Lin City would be lost¡­ However, after the Saint¡¯s attack, there was no more movement. It was as if he had only been trying to eliminate the three people from the Starfire Sect¡­ Chapter 811 - 811 Great Fortune 811 Great Fortune ¡°Brother Lin Mo, your face is glowing. This is a good omen. There are auspicious clouds in the sky. Something good is happening!¡± Inexplicably, the battle ended just like that. When Lin Mo returned to the city, the Qilin could not help but ask about it. ¡°Great luck, could it be that Senior Rainbow-Winged Bird is coming back?¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed. Other than this, he couldn¡¯t think of anything else. Of course, there was also the system¡¯s mission. If it could be said to be a sign of good luck by the auspicious beast, the White Qilin, it would at least be an Immortal-grade mission¡­ ¡°This is even better. He should be back after breaking through to the Emperor-to-be level.¡± The Qilin¡¯s words were shocking, and Lin Mo was almost scared to death. ¡°Breaking through to the Emperor-to-be level?¡± He couldn¡¯t believe it. He circulated the Qilin Art technique and looked at himself. He did find some auspicious qi. However, how could this be a good thing? ¡°Do you really think that you can see your fate just because you learned the Qilin Art technique?¡± The Qilin said as she raised her head. She placed her small hands on her hips and waved at Lin Mo proudly. ¡°It¡¯s the same as the Eye of Destiny. This is the innate ability of our Qilin Race. Other than the Ancestral Qilin, the White Qilin is the most proficient in using it.¡± Lin Mo believed this. Although he knew the Eye of Destiny technique, he did not dare to use it because he would lose his life. However, the Qilin would not. It would only cause serious injury to her. Even if it damaged her origin and soul, she could be repaired with divine medicine. This was talent. Only the auspicious beast, the White Qilin, and the Ancestral Qilin had talent. ¡°Then tell me, what kind of great fortune will there be around now?¡± After returning to the newly built palace, Lin Mo placed the Qilin into the Inner World. The Qilin¡¯s ability could be released to the greatest extent in the Nine Elements Celestial-grade Dragon Vein. Even if he activated the Eye of Destiny here, the backlash would not be too great. ¡°I¡¯m watching it.¡± Just then, the Qilin¡¯s eyes lit up, and symbols circulated. A mysterious force surrounded Lin Mo¡¯s body while at the same time, a force resonated within him. The two Dao Laws of Fate interweaved and triggered a mysterious power that enveloped Lin Mo. ¡°Eh? Unbelievable. Senior Rainbow-Winged Bird couldn¡¯t have really broken through to the Emperor-to-be Realm, right?¡± The Qilin muttered to himself. At this moment, she was looking at Lin Mo¡¯s fate and realized that he would have a huge opportunity in the near future. Such a great opportunity was simply unimaginable and would make countless people envious. ¡°What kind of opportunity is it that is worthy of your praise?¡± Lin Mo¡¯s curiosity was piqued. ¡°I can¡¯t tell unless I use the Eye of Destiny,¡± said the Qilin with a shake of her head. The fortune was theirs so no one could snatch it away. There was no need to use the Eye of Destiny to see through it. ¡°Could it be that your God Devouring Body is about to evolve and become the legendary Chaotic Body?¡± The Qilin made a bold guess. ¡°These kinds of physiques are all innate and not related to each other. How can they evolve from one to another?¡± Lin Mo was speechless. Why was this girl making such wild guesses? ¡°Other physiques are this way, but the Chaotic Body is not,¡± retorted the Qilin. ¡°Just like the True Dragon lineage has the Ancestral Dragon, the True Phoenix lineage has the Yuan Phoenix, and the Qilin lineage has the Ancestral Qilin¡­ ¡°Among the various supreme physiques of the human race, the Chaotic Body is supreme.¡± She stated all this confidently, saying that these were all records of the various races in her inherited memories. The Chaotic Body was the supreme physique of the human race. It was on par with the Ancestral Qilin and was also the king among the myriad races. ¡°Whether it¡¯s the Heaven¡¯s Will Body or the God Devouring Body, there¡¯s hope for them to evolve into the God Devouring Body. ¡± The more he spoke, the more the Qilin felt that what he said made sense. She believed that Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body was about to evolve. ¡°Physique huh¡­¡± Lin Mo nodded. Now, he felt that it was possible. As for the reason for the evolution, it must be because of the system. However, he did not know what the corresponding mission was. He hoped that it would not be too difficult. Since it was a great fortune, he was sure he would definitely obtain it¡­ ¡°Of course, it could also be that the Rainbow-Winged Bird has broken through to the Emperor-to-be realm. We have Emperor-to-be backing now.¡± The Qilin changed the topic. She couldn¡¯t understand why Lin Mo¡¯s God Devouring Body would evolve. After thinking about it, she finally confirmed that the Rainbow-Winged Bird must have made a breakthrough. ¡°No matter what, it¡¯s still a good thing.¡± Lin Mo chuckled and walked out of the Inner World with the Qilin. He summoned his subordinates and prepared to take them along to loot the Starfire Sect¡¯s treasure vault. ¡°Sir, it¡¯s too late¡­¡± His subordinate reminded him. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Mo asked. ¡°You have been in seclusion for three days. The Starfire Sect has long been divided up¡­¡± The man was a little depressed. He had missed a chance to make a fortune. ¡°We¡¯ve just been looking at each other for three days¡­¡± Lin Mo glared fiercely at the Qilin, who was pretending to be ignorant. In the end, he could only accept this fact. ¡°By the way, Sir, the auction that you asked someone to set up has been completed,¡± said someone. ¡°Then the auction will begin tonight,¡± instructed Lin Mo. He didn¡¯t actually need to arrange this kind of thing. After occupying Lin City, there were many people who came over, which was something that he could use. As for the original members of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, they were all in seclusion in his Inner World. These people were all masters of a region. Naturally, since they were willing to follow him, he wouldn¡¯t treat them unfairly. All the cultivation resources were arranged. He wanted to let these people break through to the Quasi-Saint Realm or even higher. It was enough for them to just help out occasionally in the early stages of the operation, such as when they were facing danger and the like. If even he couldn¡¯t deal with it, it would be useless even if these people came out. ¡°Buzz!¡± All of a sudden, outside of Lin City, the entire sky was suffused with multicolored light. Countless auspicious clouds appeared and actually condensed into the shapes of Qilins, unicorns, and so on. Auspicious beasts galloped, illuminating the saints, and the world was filled with endless auspicious signs. ¡°It¡¯s here, it¡¯s here. A great opportunity has arrived¡­¡± The Qilin was very excited. Her big eyes stared ahead without blinking. Her hunch was not wrong. This was Lin Mo¡¯s great opportunity¡­ the supreme opportunity. ¡°Rise!¡± The heavenly dragon soared into the sky and let out waves of dragon roars. Accompanied by the dancing of the real phoenix, a bright great path descended from the sky. Auspicious clouds turned into spirits, and the saints sat cross-legged in the void. Occasionally, the sound of chanting could be heard, and the bright path hung down, extending all the way to Lin Mo. ¡°Quickly step on it. It¡¯s a great opportunity¡­¡± Qilin urged. This could be said to be the will of heaven. ¡°What is the reason for this inexplicable opportunity?¡± Lin Mo asked. He stepped onto the bright path and immediately felt an inexplicable fluctuation. It was very magical. He didn¡¯t need to move. The Great Path of Light took him forward and flew into the sky. At the same time, he also saw countless bright paths like this in other places. There was a person standing on it, and his eyes were filled with doubt as he was sent into the sky. ¡°Sure enough, I didn¡¯t think I was special. I guess every region has one.¡± Lin Mo nodded and felt relieved. The phenomenon was huge and enveloped the entire Demon State. It was shocking. [ System Mission: Win the battle in the sky and allow the Molin Chamber of Commerce to occupy the Demon State¡¯s fate. ] [ Mission Reward: Immortal Slaying Sword ] While he was still observing his surroundings, Lin Mo suddenly heard the system¡¯s voice in his mind. The system¡¯s mission had arrived, but the reward wasn¡¯t to allow for his God Devouring Body to evolve, but the Heaven Turning Seal. ¡°One of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords, the Immortal Slaying Sword. That¡¯s great. I¡¯ve already gathered two of them.¡± Lin Mo was overjoyed and almost laughed out loud. Chapter 812 - 812 The Battle for Luck 812 The Battle for Luck However, he was not overly happy and he soon discovered something unusual. What kind of place was the Demon State? The Eight Demon Kings had already divided up one state, which was already saturated. They had formed a tacit understanding with each other. The system¡¯s mission this time was for him to allow the Molin Chamber of Commerce to occupy the luck of this province. If he really did that, would the Eight Demon Kings agree? ¡°I don¡¯t care. I will get the Immortal Slaying Sword, no matter what.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. At most, he would just run away with it. As for the so-called sky battlefield, he was very curious. Since the system was able to issue such a mission, it meant that he had a chance of winning. Soon, he learned what the sky battlefield meant. He was shocked, and some of his questions were answered. ¡°The laws of the Heavenly Dao. Everything is going on in the dark. I made it just in time¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. Not all of the three thousand states in the Northern Continent were unified. Some were too barren, while others were forbidden lands where no living beings could survive. Wherever there were living beings, there would be life. It was an inexplicable power. When rituals such as sacrifice and prayer were carried out, a mysterious power would be produced. This was faith, as well as destiny. It was the power that belonged to this state. Generally speaking, after this kind of power was formed, it would flow to the living beings that were being sacrificed and prayed to. However, a small portion would remain and eventually flow to the core of a state. For example, the Gongsun Clan was the ruler of Yunzhou. Any sacrifice or prayer in Yunzhou would benefit the Gongsun Clan. The living beings of a state would be sacrificed together, and the incense would be strong. This could ensure that the race would not look good for a long time and would not be destroyed for thousands of years. However, the Demon State was different. It didn¡¯t have a true master. This power had nowhere to go and would eventually accumulate. When it reached a certain level, the will of heaven would awaken. The sky battlefield appeared. It had been formed by the rules and all the forces of the Demon State would compete here. The final victor would obtain the luck of this state. With the blessing of luck, one would be immune to all techniques, and the cultivation speed of the disciples in the sect would also be greatly increased. This was really a great opportunity, a great opportunity. Lin Mo was extremely excited. The sky battlefield was a fair battle between people of the same realm. It was absolutely fair. Not to mention the Demon State, even in the entire Northern Land, how many people could fight him? ¡°The Immortal Slaying Sword will definitely be mine,¡± he said with a confident smile. What he needed to worry about now was how to protect this luck after fighting for it. It was unrealistic to ask the Bai Clan for help. The Northern Continent¡¯s Imperial Clan would never allow the Southern Land¡¯s Imperial Clan to interfere in the Northern Continent¡¯s affairs. The only thing that could help him was the Rainbow-Winged Bird. However, he did not know where it had gone to¡­ ¡°Forget it. This competition will take a long time anyway.¡± Lin Mo shook his head and allowed the Great Path of Light to send him into the sky. Rather than calling it a sky battlefield, it was more like another world. He was sent into the first world. After he entered, he felt a wail from the Broken Moon Sword within his body. ¡°Clang!¡± When he took it out, the moon-white luster dimmed, which showed that the Broken Moon Sword¡¯s grade had been suppressed. There was an invisible law that had sealed it, and its quality was only at Level 5 Heaven-grade. In theory, this was the equivalent of a peak King¡¯s Realm. This realm allowed one to unleash the full potential of a Heaven-grade Level 5 magic weapon, so it was a magic weapon that belonged to the King Realm. ¡°Haha, the trend of the times is right. The providence of the Demon State has appeared. We have a chance in a fair battle.¡± Someone laughed maniacally. Just like Lin Mo, he had received the news from the will of heaven. ¡°Yes, the masters of the many factions in the Demon State¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. The Demon State was chaotic and occupied a vast area. No one knew how much luck it had gathered. However, there was no doubt that whoever obtained it would undergo a transformation. That person might even reach the peak of Absolute Saint and become an Emperor-to-be. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. It¡¯ll be a fair battle. The Eight Devil Kings are able to cultivate up to the Absolute Saint realm. Do you really think their King Realm is weak?¡± Faced with such a huge temptation, some people calmed down and shook their heads after some analysis. Moreover, a precious thing like luck could not be refined in a day. If they were really allowed to take it away, it was possible that what would follow would be the wrath of the Eight Devil Kings. At that time, the entire faction would be destroyed. After all, this was the sky battlefield. Even if one died in battle, the Heavenly Dao laws would allow that person to be resurrected intact. Even if the Eight Devil Kings failed, they would have another chance. At that time, they would then have to face a Demon King at the level of an Absolute Saint¡­ After thinking it through, several people immediately chose to give up. ¡°By the way, does anyone know how to compete?¡± At this moment, Lin Mo asked a crucial question. In an instant, everyone was stunned. Only then did they react. That¡¯s right. The Demon State was so big and there were so many people. If it was a one-on-one battle, how long would it take? ¡°Hmph, why are you asking so many questions for someone who¡¯s at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the King¡¯s Realm? Don¡¯t tell me you want to compete with the Demon King?¡± Someone immediately looked at Lin Mo with disdain. Some of the living beings looked over with unfriendly eyes. How could an Eighth Heavenly Layer King control an area? One had to know that none of the people present were at the Quasi-Saint Realm. The reason they were sent here was because the King¡¯s Realm was the lowest limit. They were at different levels among the Quasi-Saints, which was why they chose to enter the King¡¯s Realm. Now that they saw that Lin Mo hadn¡¯t even cultivated the King¡¯s Realm to perfection, they immediately harbored evil thoughts. Those who were able to come up were all leaders of a faction. They most likely had some good things on them. ¡°Ah¡­¡± In the distance, miserable screams could be heard. Someone had started to attack, and the shouts of killing continued. There were people like Lin Mo who were targeted from the first moment because their cultivation levels were not high enough. They were killed immediately and their treasures were taken away. ¡°Why do you want to die?¡± Lin Mo shook his head. Faced with the hostility of several people, he took a step forward and his powerful aura soared into the sky. With just one step, the people in front were immediately sent flying. With a boom, this place turned into a true battlefield. Being able to control a faction was extraordinary, but it was too weak in front of Lin Mo. Some of the bodies of the living beings immediately exploded. They were not even able to withstand Lin Mo¡¯s attack. A great battle erupted here. Lin Mo fought against a hundred alone, and blood began to flow like a river. One after another, living beings were killed and eliminated. The shockwaves of the battle spread out and shocked everyone. Many people looked over in shock. ¡°The Yin Yang Dao Law, the Kun Peng Art technique. That person is Lin Mo¡­¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? Why is Lin Mo here?¡± This was a one-sided massacre. Lin Mo swept through everything. Even the best of the living beings of the same realm might not even be his match. At this moment, it was like he was chopping melons and vegetables. Anyone who came close was eliminated. The battle only lasted for an hour. The will of heaven had appeared, and the laws had appeared, time and space had frozen. All the living beings in this space were terrified and did not dare to fight anymore. All of them chose to retreat. The living beings who were far away were also shocked when they learned of Lin Mo¡¯s identity and fled immediately. At the same time, a mysterious power gathered in front of him, forming dragons that circled in front of him. ¡°Is the luck of the Demon State a part of it¡­¡± Chapter 813 - 813 Quasi-Saint Battlefield 813 Quasi-Saint Battlefield He could feel the endless power surging out of his body. It came from the Demon State and the power of the sacrifice of all living beings. In a trance, he could hear the whispers of all the living beings in his ears. ¡°Buzz!¡± The Soul-Devouring Art started to circulate quietly. Lin Mo¡¯s aura rose in a straight line as he devoured this power. In the blink of an eye, he reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. There was no hindrance to that barrier and it was immediately broken through by this force. It could even be said that he was the person that broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm the most easily. Even the Heavenly Dao did not send down a heavenly tribulation. ¡°What if I devour the entire Demon State¡¯s luck?¡± Lin Mo was shocked. He had a hunch. If he really devoured it, he would become the Lord of the Demon State, and his realm would rise in a straight line. In the end, he would even be able to reach¡­the Emperor-to-be¡­ ¡°This good fortune has come too suddenly¡­¡± Lin Mo was excited. As a God Devouring Body, as long as he had enough power, he would be able to rise up at the fastest speed. The God Devouring Bodies of the past generations had ultimately been limited by their realms and were unable to obtain resources. As for him, with the help of the system, his breakthrough went very smoothly. [ Mission completed. Reward: Immortal Slaying Sword! ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his ears, informing him that the mission was completed. At the same time, another world-shocking Immortal sword was born in the Inner World. ¡°Does winning the King¡¯s Battlefield count as completing the mission?¡± Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised. With the support of this power, his realm was still rising. The system¡¯s mission had also been completed. [ System Mission: Make a breakthrough to the ninth level of the Quasi-Saint realm, join the Quasi-Saint battlefield, and finally win. ] [ Mission Reward: Law Proficiency. ] The system¡¯s voice rang in his ears, making Lin Mo feel even more delighted. Even if he had the God Devouring Body and there was no barrier, he would still face the awkward situation of having insufficient comprehension of laws. The cultivation of spiritual qi was only one of the top combat strengths of many masters. Other than the physical body and soul, it was also their own comprehension of the laws. This was the most difficult part, and also the reason why they were able to draw the greatest battle strength. Previously, Lin Mo had worried that his realm would increase greatly if he devoured such a huge amount of power. He had already planned close the deadly test after breaking through to the next realm to increase his comprehension of the laws. For this reason, even if it would delay the development of the Molin Chamber of Commerce, they would still not hesitate to hold an auction. ¡°I¡¯ll enter seclusion for a period of time!¡± Lin Mo muttered as he sat cross-legged in the air. He pushed the Soul-Devouring Art to its limit, and a layer of vortex black hole appeared around him. The power in this space seemed to be endless as well. It surged continuously and was devoured by Lin Mo. In the sky battlefield, every battlefield was engaged in a battle. There were also people who were in discussion and recruiting allies. Some places were bloody, while others were silent. Faced with the sudden battle, they didn¡¯t know how to make a choice. ¡°The King¡¯s Battlefield has already come to an end. Someone is absorbing the luck, ¡± shouted someone with an ugly expression on his face. One of the living beings tried to enter the battlefield but failed. Because they weren¡¯t able to enter, this meant that the victor of the King¡¯s Battlefield had been decided in just two hours. Even if that was the battlefield with the least number of people, it shouldn¡¯t be so weak. ¡°Who is it? How could he crush so many people?¡± ¡°But it¡¯s fine. After he cultivates that luck, he won¡¯t come looking for us, right?¡± Some living beings felt lucky that they had not tried to bully the weak and enter the King¡¯s Battlefield. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated immediately. ¡°No, that person from the King¡¯s Battlefield is here.¡± ¡°How is it possible that he cultivated such a huge amount of karmic luck?¡± Countless living beings were shocked as they could not believe it. Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the victor was a Demon King. Although this power was huge, it was not enough to deal with an Absolute Saint. If that were the case, they would all be in danger. ¡°Rumble¡­¡± The space trembled continuously. Soon, a golden path appeared and connected the two spaces. Lin Mo walked on it, surrounded by two Immortal swords that contained endless killing intent. With the Broken Moon Sword in hand, another layer of the seal had been lifted. It was now a Level 9 Heaven Class sword. ¡°So young¡­¡± ¡°There is a vitality there, like a junior¡­¡± ¡°If he¡¯s Lin Mo, then he really a f*cking junior. What the hell! ¡± Lin Mo walked into the battlefield amidst cries of alarm. Countless living beings looked as if they had seen a ghost. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Only the forces of the Demon State can enter the battlefield.¡± Some living beings did not believe it. In the beginning, only the leaders of the various forces were qualified to come up. This was because this represented all the top experts in the Demon State, but that was only temporary. As long as the battlefield was not closed, anyone from the Demon State would come up sooner or later. It was only a matter of time. There had probably never been anyone like Lin Mo who was able to clear a battlefield in an hour. ¡°The God Devouring Body Lin Mo is here. He¡¯s already at the Quasi-Saint Realm. Can anyone stop him? ¡± Some of the living beings looked at Lin Mo in shock. At this moment, his body was surrounded by many mysterious powers. The two Immortal swords were emitting terrifying sword qi. Endless killing intent spread and continuously eroded Lin Mo. However, this killing intent could not shake Lin Mo because there was a mighty force surrounding his body. It was the power of luck that made him immune to all laws and tribulations. ¡°Third level Quasi-Saint, the cultivation speed is still a little slow¡­¡± Lin Mo frowned. All the people present were at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. None of them were weak. When the other living beings heard this, their mouths twitched. In such a short period of time, he had broken through to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm from the King Realm. ¡°Hey!¡± A rain of light began to fall, and powerful laws began to fluctuate and spread out, bringing with it streams of spiritual qi that suppressed Lin Mo like waves. Lin Mo raised his hand and pointed. The Immortal Vanquishing Sword flew out from his right side and sword lights came slashing out. The waves collapsed and countless light rains reversed. He stepped into the void and continued to circulate the God-Devouring Art to increase his strength. ¡°Little friend, this is not a place you should be. Go back to where you came from.¡± A low voice was heard. A middle-aged Daoist appeared in the distance with a horsetail whisk in his hand. He was the one who had attacked just now to suppress Lin Mo. Lin Mo¡¯s expression was cold when he saw this person. The moment he had entered the battlefield, he had known that this would happen. His was still at a very low realm, and he had luck. These people obviously did not want him to continue cultivating. ¡°Don¡¯t make a mistake,¡± said Lin Mo. The two Immortal swords beside him emitted sword light. The dense killing aura made some people frown. With the Broken Moon Sword in his hand, even though he was only at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm, he gave off an oppressive feeling. ¡°Little friend, this battlefield is not suitable for you. Retreating now will be beneficial for both of us.¡± The middle-aged Taoist priest took a few steps back, but he still spoke. He waved the horsetail whisk in his hand and began to chant scriptures. His entire person looked solemn. ¡°Crack!¡± In the shattered space, the Divine Chains of Order began to come out, one after another. With the support of the chanting, a powerful energy burst out from them. They swirled in the air and trapped Lin Mo, with the intention of completely suppressing him. Chapter 814 - 814 Demon General 814 Demon General ¡°Young friend, please calm down. Your combat strength is extraordinary, so I have no choice but to do this. If you are willing to withdraw, I will let you out,¡± said the middle-aged Daoist priest. His eyes were glowing, and he actually had a somewhat saint-like aura. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to join forces to deal with me? If you¡¯re alone, you¡¯re not my match,¡± said Lin Mo as he looked at the two Immortal swords beside him. The Celestial-Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword were also restricted by the laws of heaven and earth. However, they were the sharpest blades in the world. Nothing was unbreakable. Inch by inch, the Divine Chains of Order that trapped him were broken under a few slashes from him. ¡°Clang!¡± Sword qi soared into the sky. Faced with such a method, he could not even use laws. Just the Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword were enough to destroy everything. ¡°How is that possible?¡± The expressions on the faces of all the living beings changed as they were filled with fear. Some of them recognized this middle-aged Daoist and knew his methods. This display far surpassed ordinary people of the same level. Otherwise, how could he have become the leader of a faction? But now, the middle-aged Daoist was afraid because the two Immortal swords beside Lin Mo were extremely dazzling. The sword light that slashed out destroyed everything and could even hurt the soul. In his hand, the horsetail whisk continued to be waved, and a large number of symbols appeared. With the addition of the Divine Chains of Order, it continued to suppress Lin Mo. ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± Sword qi soared into the sky, and the Broken Moon Sword was also activated. Lin Mo waved it and destroyed all the runes. In fact, there was no need for Lin Mo to make a move. Two Immortal swords were enough. The Celestial Eradication Sword was ever-changing. The strange sword qi was unleashed at the wrong time and began to slash wildly. The sword qi was sharper and more dazzling than before. ¡°Crack.¡± Finally, some living beings couldn¡¯t sit still anymore and began to attack, suppressing the Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword. The middle-aged Taoist priest didn¡¯t dare to be careless. He condensed more runes and summoned many Divine Chains of Order to suppress Lin Mo again. ¡°Little friend, we don¡¯t want to offend you. You should leave.¡± A few living beings tried to give advise as they were about to make a move as well. They could not bear to watch Lin Mo become stronger. Otherwise, the winner of this battlefield would be determined. Luck rippled, and a mysterious power surrounded Lin Mo. The spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged into Lin Mo¡¯s limbs and bones, washing through his meridians. After fighting with these people for a while, he had reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. This change made countless people¡¯s expressions change. What a terrifying God Devouring Body. As long as there was enough energy, breaking through realms was as easy as eating and drinking. ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t hesitate. Let¡¯s attack together and cultivate him.¡± Another group of people rushed over. When they heard that Lin Mo was here, they did not dare to be careless. This was because they had received some news that Lin Mo had established a faction in the Demon State with a complicated background. Even the Imperial Clan from the Northern Continent didn¡¯t dare to be careless as they figured that he wasn¡¯t someone to be trifled with. It would be terrible if he managed to gain a lot of luck. The Demon King behind them might not be able to break through to the Emperor-to-be realm because of the lack of luck. As for snatching the luck away from Lin Mo, it would still be fine on the sky battlefield. Everyone depended on their own abilities, and no one could say anything about it. However, once Lin Mo took it away, one would have to think twice before snatching it away. The Bai Clan of the Northern Continent, and the person who was called the Phoenix Maid by the Imperial Clan. Even if they couldn¡¯t do anything due to special reasons, there was still the Rainbow-Winged Bird, which was also a troublesome existence. ¡°No, hurry up and attack. No matter what, we have to kill him.¡± In just a short while, more than a dozen Quasi-Saints had joined forces to cultivate Lin Mo. In the end, the area turned into a sea of fire. Flames filled the air, and terrifying fluctuations began to spread. This scene shocked countless people. More than a dozen Quasi-Saints had joined forces, and their true realms were even higher. No matter how powerful Lin Mo was, his comprehension of laws was insufficient, and his realm could not keep up. With just three Immortal swords, there was probably nothing he could do. ¡°You¡¯re quite capable,¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself. He wanted to break free, but he realized that he could no longer do so. His realm wasn¡¯t high enough, so the power he could mobilize was limited. He had no other choice. All of these people were top-notch Quasi-Saints. ¡°Crack!¡± A crisp sound came from his body. He had broken through again within such a short time and his luck had been cultivated a little more. ¡°It¡¯s not enough. Hurry up!¡± Lin Mo muttered while defending with all his might. At the same time, the God Devouring Art in his body circulated crazily. The power of devouring luck and the endless power produced by the sacrifice of all living beings filled Lin Mo¡¯s body continuously. The situation was at a stalemate. These people were very anxious because they could sense that Lin Mo had broken through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. ¡°Speed up. Continue to call for help. Hurry up and help. ¡± Someone shouted angrily as he asked someone to call for help. He was in a hurry. He wanted to kill Lin Mo while his realm was still low so that he could leave the battlefield in the sky. Six hours passed quietly in such a tense atmosphere. Countless gazes were fixed on this place. They could sense that Lin Mo would make another breakthrough again soon. With his combat strength, he would be able to escape with the help of the Immortal sword. At that time, it would be difficult to suppress him. Moreover, Lin Mo controlled the Kun Peng which enabled him to move at an extremely fast speed. Once he escaped, it would not be so easy to trap him. ¡°They¡¯re here. Demon generals are coming down from a higher level battlefield.¡± Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the distance, causing the nervous people to heave a sigh of relief. Finally, someone had come to help. Lin Mo had yet to make a breakthrough, so he could finally be eliminated¡­ ¡°Are you here? Unfortunately, you are a little late¡­¡± Lin Mo said. Six hours had passed, and more than half of the pure energy in his body had been cultivated. The reason he hadn¡¯t made a breakthrough yet was because he felt that the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm would be unable to do anything when faced with the siege of many top-notch Quasi-Saints. After all, his comprehension of laws was still insufficient. Fortunately, the other party¡¯s reinforcements had only arrived after six hours. Just as the other party was about to make a move, his eyes were like lightning as two divine lights shot out from them. The realm that had been stagnant for a long time lost its suppression and was broken through in an instant. The Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm was touched in a flash. In the next moment, under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, he broke through again and stepped into the Seventh Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Saint Realm. ¡°Luck¡­ It¡¯s truly mysterious!¡± Sighing, Lin Mo raised his hand, and the Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradicating Sword flew out at the same time, bursting with dazzling sword light. The Divine Chains of Order were instantly destroyed. At the same time, the surrounding Dao fire was also destroyed. He took a step forward and spread the Kun Peng Wings on his back. The Yin Yang Dao Law appeared and he used his martial arts technique to attack the middle-aged Taoist priest with extreme power. What kind of terrifying cultivation speed was this? All the living beings were shocked. Lin Mo¡¯s body was now surrounded by sword qi. The three Immortal swords looked down on everything, looking completely invincible. Amidst the sound of the swords, he charged forward like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The broken moon was like a rainbow. When it hit the enemy¡¯s body, blood immediately blossomed. There were three Demon Generals who had come to help. Lin Mo could tell from the conversation that they were three Great Saints. Their comprehension of the laws had reached an unimaginable height. They were like invincible existences in the Quasi-Saint Realm. However, they were fighting against Lin Mo. His terrifying physical body and combat strength were actually capable of gaining the upper hand. Chapter 815 - 815 Fight Your Way Out 815 Fight Your Way Out ¡°As expected of a Great Saint,¡± Lin Mo praised. These three of them often worked together and had a tacit understanding of each other. There were no flaws. For a moment, the battle was at a stalemate. He had used the Qilin Art technique and the Kun Peng Art technique, but he was still unable to kill either man or horse. However, this stalemate did not last long. They fought and retreated. Another four hours passed, and the last trace of luck in Lin Mo¡¯s body was completely devoured by the God Devouring Body. At this moment, he had just reached the Ninth Heavenly Level of the Quasi-Saint Realm. At the peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm, the cultivation of spiritual qi had already reached its limit. It was suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth and could not advance any further. ¡°Retreat.¡± The demon general gave the order to retreat. He knew that at this realm, they would not be able to take down Lin Mo. They were glad that this was only a Quasi-Saint battlefield. The luck that Lin Mo was able to obtain was limited, and the realms after that were not so simple. If one¡¯s comprehension of laws could not keep up, one¡¯s realm might even regress. They weren¡¯t worried that Lin Mo would continue. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too late to leave now?¡± With the Kun Peng Wings spread, Lin Mo looked at the three demon generals with a faint smile. These were three Great Saints. If they were eliminated here, the other demon general behind them would definitely have very interesting expressions on their faces. ¡°Arrogant brat, even though you are a top-notch Quasi-Saint now, the gap is unavoidable.¡± ¡°You can rule this battlefield now, but leave quickly after you¡¯ve obtained the benefits,¡± said one of the demon generals. They still had to return to the battlefield of the Great Saint to obtain the luck there for the Demon King. Although the battlefield would last for a long time, for months even, they still needed to join the battle as soon as possible. ¡°Just try and you¡¯ll know how big the difference is.¡± Lin Mo laughed. The Celestial-Slaying Sword and the Immortal Eradication Sword flew out, and he followed closely behind with the Broken Moon Sword in his hand. Behind him, phantoms of the Kun Peng and the Qilin appeared. This was the strongest spell technique he currently controlled. At this moment, Lin Mo was at his strongest. ¡°Rumble!¡± Violent explosions spread out, and extremely terrifying sword qi soared into the sky. The three great demon generals were on standby. Their hearts trembled. They had not imagined that Lin Mo could be so powerful. He had only been at the King level previously and had relied on luck to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Logically speaking, his combat strength should be weak. ¡°There¡¯s no mistake. The two Immortal swords floating beside Lin Mo are real immortal swords. They¡¯re extremely terrifying.¡± ¡°No wonder it¡¯s so sharp. But didn¡¯t he only have one Quasi-Immortal Sword?¡± ¡°It might have been given to him by the Bai Clan. Ah, the luck of this battlefield is really going to be taken away by him¡­¡± Some living beings managed to see through the clues which revealed the truth. They shook their heads helplessly. He had two battlefields to himself, and the Eight Demon Kings didn¡¯t dare to cause any trouble or fight for them. What a terrifying young man. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his comprehension of the laws was insufficient, they even felt that Lin Mo might have gone to the next battlefield. He might even reach the battlefield of the Absolute Saint and become the true ruler of the Demon State¡­ ¡°Pfft.¡± In the end, a sword light slashed down, and the arm of a demon general who was in the midst of a fierce battle was hit by the Celestial Slaying Sword. He immediately let out a miserable cry as his arm exploded. His combat strength was greatly reduced, and the spiritual qi in his body was also been severely depleted. Lin Mo seized the opportunity and killed him with a punch that contained the power of the Kun Peng. ¡°Bang!¡± His body exploded. Even after a long battle, Lin Mo was still at his peak condition. With the support of the Inner World, there was also an extremely large Supreme-grade spiritual stone mine. His power was inexhaustible! Blood splattered and the sword light was resplendent. In the end, the three demon generals were killed and Lin Mo was only slightly injured. He did not stop there and began to clear the area. One after another, the top Quasi-Saints were eliminated. No one was able to stop him for even a moment. With the support of the Kun Peng and the Qilin, as well as two real Immortal swords and a Quasi-Immortal sword, he swept across the battlefield. However, this was also the largest part of the sky battlefield. There were so many Quasi-Saints, and countless forces in the Demon State had come. More and more people were rushing over. After a day, the news of the sky battlefield spread throughout the entire Demon State. At this moment, as long as he willed it, the will of the Great Path would descend upon the Golden Great Path and lead him to the heavens. Of course, everyone only had one chance. If they were eliminated, they would not be able go up again. ¡°Let¡¯s fight until the last moment,¡± Lin Mo roared towards the sky. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword emitted an endless killing aura. Countless people around him were terrified, and their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Lin Mo. In these five days, this place had become a bloody battlefield. Nearly 100,000 Quasi-Saints had shed blood. The sky had been colored red, and blood qi filled the air, enveloping the entire battlefield. ¡°Who else is not convinced?¡± Lin Mo was covered in blood, and his killing intent was extremely strong, but his eyes were still clear. With the blessing of luck, he was immune to all methods. Although the Celestial Slaying Sword only knew how to kill and would affect its master. However, his soul was still pure without any impurities. He could perfectly control his killing intent. No one answered. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. Those who fought had all died at once. Those who remained were those who had given up. The reason they had not left yet was because they wanted to see how far Lin Mo could go. ¡°A true king¡­¡± someone whispered, and this statement quickly resonated with many living beings. All the living beings on this battlefield recognized him and felt he was the strongest person there. Luck had descended. A light visible to the naked eye appeared, and traces of divine power gathered towards Lin Mo, strengthening his body. This was the benefit of victory in the sky battlefield. Lin Mo sat cross-legged in the void and absorbed the fate of heaven and earth. He circulated the God Devouring Art and began to devour this power. It was even more terrifying than the previous battlefield. Even the God Devouring Body couldn¡¯t devour everything in a short time. This was going to be a long process. Countless secret powers surged into his body to ensure that he would not be disturbed. With the blessing of luck, he was immune to all laws and would not fall into any calamity from now on. For a moment, Lin Mo felt that his fate had changed. The Qilin spell quietly circulated, and mysterious runes appeared on the surface of his body. Many living beings on the battlefield were shocked when they saw this. The Qilin Art technique was said to be able to allow one to control one¡¯s own fate. It itself had great opportunities and great fortune. Now that he had obtained the blessing of luck, the luck of the two battlefields had gathered and been devoured by Lin Mo. What kind of expert was he trying to create? Several subordinates of the Demon King were also present. They were of being killed by Lin Mo and did not dare to show their heads. At this moment, they were also staring at the phenomenon in a daze. Many of the living beings stared at it without blinking, before suddenly shuddering. ¡°With the auspicious beast beside me and the help of the Imperial Clan, the Demon State will be unified¡­¡± One of the blind old Taoist priests was pinching his fingers. He was performing a fortune-telling spell on Lin Mo as he muttered to himself. Some people¡¯s expressions changed. When they heard this, they all fell silent. They felt that the old Taoist priest was right and their faces were filled with shock. ¡°The God Devouring Art can devour everything. I only need five days to become a Saint¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered to himself as he was suspended in the air. He slowly closed his eyes and began to focus on his cultivation. Chapter 816 - 816 The Real Enemy 816 The Real Enemy In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. With the support of such pure spiritual energy, Lin Mo quickly broke through to the Saint Realm. However, the power in this layer of space was still surging in endlessly. His seclusion continued. In another three days, he arrived at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Saint Realm. It was also on this day that an unforeseen event occurred. A huge crack appeared in the sky. It was extremely huge, and a black fog surged out from it. ¡°This aura!¡± Lin Mo instantly woke up and stared ahead solemnly. He would never forget this black fog in his life. It was also his most important enemy. The enemy hiding in the dark had once caused Lin Mo a lot of trouble. ¡°How did you find me? Didn¡¯t the Red Karmic Fire Lotus Seed wash away my karma?¡± he muttered to himself, his eyes solemn. This wasn¡¯t a black mist at all, but tiny bugs. Spirit Devouring Bugs were creatures that should have gone extinct. The destruction of the ancient era was very likely related to them. Now, these things had appeared again, and it was on a sky battlefield that had been set up by the Heavenly Dao. This made it difficult for Lin Mo to calm down. He had a premonition that something big was about to happen. ¡°Rumble!¡± The heavenly tribulation descended, and endless heavenly lightning spread out, crazily attacking the black fog. Countless Spirit Devouring Bugs were turned into dust at this moment. The Heavenly Dao attacked and used the heavenly tribulation to kill the Spirit Devouring Bugs. Lin Mo did not want to be outdone either. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword flew out, and the sword qi that slashed out destroyed everything. [ Mission completed. Reward: Mastery of the Yin Yang Dao Law and the Law of Fate. ] At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo¡¯s mind. He had completed his mission. He had won this battlefield and had been proven to be invincible. He had successfully obtained luck. At this moment, his soul was still a little muddled and stuck in a trance. However, the doubts about the laws in his heart were suddenly cleared. Suddenly, he instantly understood everything that he had not understood in the past. ¡°Boom!¡± The aura in his body skyrocketed. After comprehending the laws, his realm breakthrough became faster and faster, and the circulation of the God Devouring Art increased. His cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than before. At the same time, he also felt that after his epiphany, the suppression of the Heavenly Dao laws on him had weakened. In the end, he even disappeared. Even though this was the Quasi-Saint Space, he could still erupt with the power of a Saint. ¡°Woooo!¡± The Spirit Devouring Bugs let out a series of hissing sounds and swarmed towards Lin Mo like a tide. In their sea of consciousness, there was no intelligence, only an instinct to devour this world. The person in front of them was their primary goal. Kill and devour. ¡°Boom!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s body did not move at all. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed down. The terrifying force instantly killed a large number of Spirit Devouring Bugs, and a dazzling sword light erupted. [ System Mission: Head to the Saint battlefield and defeat all your opponents. ] [ Mission Reward: Innate Supreme Treasures Four Celestial Slaying Swords, Celestial Slayer Sword, Celestial Trapping Sword!] At the same time, the system¡¯s mission was released, which allowed him to head to the next battlefield. As long as he won, he would be able to obtain the four Celestial Slaying Swords that he had always dreamed of. ¡°Unfortunately, I cannot escape¡­¡± Lin Mo was helpless. He had to stay here. The effect of the Heavenly Tribulation on the Spirit Devouring Bugs was getting smaller and smaller. If this continued, this space would be occupied. He was worried that an accident would happen. At this moment, he urgently needed strength. The luck in this space had not been cultivated yet, so he could not let the Spirit Devouring Bugs wreak havoc here. With a strike of his palm, the Yin Yang Dao Law circulated, and the world rumbled. At this moment, it was as if he was inheriting the will of heaven and earth. The power of his palm was so terrifying. Amidst the booming sounds, the giant palm changed, as if it was about to turn into a Kun Peng and press downwards. ¡°Wooo!¡± The Spirit Devouring Bugs wreaked havoc, and the black fog that had been revealed to be them actually began to fuse because they could sense the terrifying aura on Lin Mo¡¯s body. In the next moment, they had actually transformed into a pitch-black Kun Peng. They were also using the Yin Yang Dao Law, which clashed with Lin Mo¡¯s palm with a deafening sound. ¡°Heavens, is this the end of the world? What kind of creature is that?¡± There were still cultivators lingering in this space, wanting to see how far Lin Mo could go. While Lin Mo had been cultivating, they had not had anything to do, so they had wandered around in the space. They were very curious about the sky battlefield. Who would have thought that a huge hole would suddenly appear in the sky, and a large black mist would come surging over? This power was extremely terrifying. Some of them had already been robbed and were rushing towards Lin Mo, hoping that Lin Mo could save them. When they came over and saw this scene, they were even more shocked. ¡°Lin Mo is in a tough battle. What kind of creature is that?¡± ¡°To be able to form into a black Kun Peng, what kind of heaven-defying method is this?¡± The crisis was temporarily averted, and the black fog that was chasing them turned around and merged into the black Kun Peng. Its power became even stronger and began to force Lin Mo¡¯s palm back. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword was not able to disperse it. ¡°The cultivating speed should be increased a little¡­¡± Lin Mo muttered. At this moment, he was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Saint Realm. However, it was still not enough to kill these Spirit Devouring Bugs. The restrictions on him in this space had begun to loosen. In contrast, the power of these Spirit Devouring Bugs had also become stronger. A bitter battle was inevitable. Faced with hundreds of millions of Spirit Devouring Bugs, he could not hold on alone. The spiritual qi in his body was being consumed very quickly. This was because every move used killing moves, martial arts, and laws to the extreme to resist the Spirit Devouring Bugs. If not for the endless supply of qi from the Inner World, he would have been drowned by the endless insect tide. ¡°Crack!¡± In the distance, another crack appeared in space. This space was like a mirror and actually began to crack. At the same time, Lin Mo also felt that the power of luck in his body was a little unstable, and his realm was actually at risk of falling. ¡°D*mn it, what exactly is the problem¡­¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. If the space shattered, the suppression here would disappear. He would be in the middle of the endless insect tide, so his only escape would be to enter the Inner World. However, he couldn¡¯t do that because the Demon State was below, and the Qilin was still there. The Spirit Devouring Bugs had targeted him because he had cultivated the Yin Yang Fruit of the World Tree, which was a world treasure. At the same time, the Qilin had also cultivated the Fruit of Destiny. Once these Spirit Devouring Bugs lost their target, the Qilin would become the next victim. ¡°I will never allow such a thing to happen.¡± Lin Mo gritted his teeth. The power of laws spread out and continuously killed the Spirit Devouring Bugs. If things didn¡¯t work out, he would risk his life to kill his way out of the sky battlefield, find the Qilin, and escape with her. In his dictionary, it was acceptable to escape, but abandoning one¡¯s companions was absolutely not allowed. ¡°Come on, let me see if you really can¡¯t kill them all.¡± He threw his head back and laughed. The most dazzling sword light erupted here, and endless sword qi surged. The facts had proven that there was no end to the Spirit Devouring Bugs. Cracks continued to appear until the space was about to collapse. Lin Mo¡¯s current cultivation realm had also reached the eighth level of the Saint Realm. Because of the intense battle, the spiritual qi was constantly consumed and replenished. This undoubtedly sped up his cultivation speed. After fighting against the Spirit Devouring Bugs for three days, he was about to reach the peak of the Saint Realm. ¡°Just a little more and I¡¯ll be able to go to the next battlefield in half an hour,¡± said Lin Mo while gritting his teeth. Chapter 817 - 817 Four Immortal Slaying Swords 817 Four Immortal Slaying Swords He continued to persevere. He had reached his limit. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and this space was about to collapse. Facing the endless tide of bugs, he had already lost count of how many he had killed. He even felt as if all of the Spirit Devouring Bugs in the world had come this time, which was why they could not be killed. ¡°Boom!¡± After half an hour of confrontation, Lin Mo cultivated the last bit of energy. This scene seemed to be what the will of the Great Path was willing to see. This space began to reject him, wanting to send him to a higher level of the battlefield. A golden path appeared, rising and falling from the sky. It was formed by countless users of the Divine Chains of Order and thousands of rules. Without hesitation, Lin Mo stepped forward. The golden path carried him toward the battlefield of the saints. The sky battlefield of the Quasi-Saint Realm was on the verge of collapse. After losing its fate, this space finally welcomed its limit. Under Lin Mo¡¯s gaze, a terrifying explosion swept through the area. With the protection of the Golden Dao, he wasn¡¯t affected. The Spirit Devouring Bugs that he had just fought were all dead. They had all been annihilated in the terrifying spatial storm. However, Lin Mo was shocked when he arrived. The battlefield had long since cracked open. In the sky, a thick tree branch hung down, appearing to be pitch-black. It was surrounded by black fog, all of which were the Spirit Devouring Bugs. As soon as he stepped in, a powerful pressure spread throughout his body. The Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Eradication Sword were restricted again. This was because his master¡¯s realm was too low and he could not unleash the power of the immortal swords. In addition, there were only two of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords. Although they were Innate treasures, they were still completely suppressed. ¡°Run quickly. A strange change has occurred in the Demon State. The disaster of the ancient era has arrived¡­¡± As soon as he came up, Lin Mo heard a scream. Countless living beings fled as they were chased by the Spirit Devouring Bugs. ¡°Buzz!¡± In an instant, countless powers surged toward Lin Mo and were devoured by the God Devouring Body. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He had not even participated in the battle, but the fate of the Saint Battlefield belonged to him and was being cultivated by him. ¡°There¡¯s a familiar smell on that branch.¡± He looked at the pitch-black tree branch that had pierced through the entire space. The overwhelming Spirit Devouring Bugs had come from there. ¡°Clang! Clang!¡± With this mentality, he swung his sword at the tree branch. It wasn¡¯t exactly a tree branch. It was like a towering ancient tree, surrounded by many laws and an inexhaustible amount of black fog. As Lin Mo opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, he could still feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it. This made Lin Mo shudder. ¡°Crack!¡± The sword light shattered, but there was no change when it struck the sword. It had not even shaken the sword at all. ¡°This is a branch of the World Tree. How is it possible¡­¡± Lin Mo was shocked. After one attack, he finally felt what it was. A branch of the World Tree. This could also explain why it was only a small branch, yet it covered the sky and covered half of the sky. [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and obtaining the Celestial Slaying Sword and the Celestial Trapping Sword. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, and more and more luck surged towards him continuously. He opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and looked around. Only then did he realize that he was the only living person on this battlefield. The other living beings had either been killed by the Spirit Devouring Bugs or had already left on their own, not daring to stay here any longer. He was the only one left, so naturally, he was the final winner. Chapter 818 - Chapter 818: The Confrontation of the World Tree Chapter 818: The Confrontation of the World Tree The only thing Lin Mo could do was to persevere and take away his luck to avoid being devoured by the Spirit Devouring Bugs. At the same time, a world-shaking battle broke out outside the Demon State. Even the neighboring states were affected. An ancient tree rose from the ground. Every leaf was like a star, as if it carried a world. That was the World Tree, the World Tree that existed in the Central Continent¡­ Its enemy was a pitch-black ancient tree, which was also a World Tree. It seemed to have turned black. The power they had unleashed during the war in the Demon State was something that even an Emperor-to-be didn¡¯t dare to touch. In the sky battlefield, the pitch-black tree branch that Lin Mo was facing was this blackened World Tree. It was the one that had released countless Spirit Devouring Bugs in order to devour the fate of the Demon State. Unfortunately, they had encountered Lin MO, who had absorbed the luck of the previous few spaces. As for others who were behind, they were also absorbed by the will of the Great Path, so not many of them were devoured. As Lin Mo¡¯s realm continued to increase, the fate of the Demon State would eventually be taken away by him. Of course, the prerequisite was that everything had to go smoothly. The battle lasted for a long time. This was the first time countless creatures had seen a battle between World Trees. Moreover, it was because all living beings were in this world, no matter where they were. They were able to sense the existence of the World Tree and know the enemy it was facing. They were able to observe such a battle. ¡°If the luck of a prefecture is stolen, it will have a great impact on the Northern Continent.¡± Time flew by as everyone nervously watched. The war in the Demon State continued. Outside, the World Tree was fighting. In the sky battlefield, Lin MO was also facing swarms of countless insects. By this time, more than nine days had already passed, and he was already at the peak of the Great Saint realm. He was only one step away from becoming an Absolute Saint. The cultivation of luck was nearing its end, and Lin MO was dispirited after nearly ten days of high-intensity battles. It was at this moment that he had the urge to fall asleep. It was extremely tiring. The attack from the Spirit Devouring Bugs did not stop for a moment. He had been unleashing his peak combat strength all this while. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords had killed countless people, and the more he fought, the braver he became. However, he was very tired. With the support of his Inner World and luck, the spiritual qi in his body remained full. During this period of time, only by breaking through to the next realm could the explosive power cleanse his soul and prevent him from collapsing. As if knowing that Lin MO was about to succeed, the branch of the World Tree in the sky trembled a little. Streams of ink-black Divine Chains of Order hung down, wanting to kill Lin Mo. ¡°Clang!¡± The Four Immortal Slaying Swords attacked. The four Immortal swords erupted with dazzling sword light and a large amount of scarlet sword qi fell. The Divine Chains of Order were shattered and were unable to get close to Lin Mo. However, the Four Immortal Slaying Swords were also repelled. They were restricted, and Lin Mo¡¯s realm was insufficient. He couldn¡¯t unleash his strongest sword qi and was restricted here. ¡°Crash!¡± The attacks did not stop, be it from the Spirit Devouring Bugs or the World Tree. One after another, Divine Chains of Order continued to fall down and surged toward Lin MO like snakes, sealing the void and isolating all auras. At the same time, Lin Mot s aura surged. The barrier of the Absolute Saint Realm was broken through, and the fate of this world was completely cultivated and absorbed. ¡°That was close¡­¡± Spreading the wings on his back, Lin MO narrowly avoided the attack. He broke through his realm, and the power of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords increased again. The scarlet sword aura was like a red line that destroyed all of the Divine Chains of Order. Even the branch of the World Tree was shaken. A pitch-black leaf fell from the sky, cut off by the sword qi. [ Mission completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus. The quality of the Broken Moon Sword has increased. I The system¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, and a scorching flame shot out from his eyes. A red lotus flower slowly formed under his feet. In the next moment, a monstrous flame erupted. The Spirit Devouring Bugs seemed to be very afraid of the karmic fire. After being burned, their combat strength decreased drastically. The power contained in the twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus was very terrifying, and it did not rely much on Lin Mot s spiritual qi cultivation. It was capable of unleashing the power of an Innate treasure. With an explosion, the black fog around Lin MO dissipated completely. The karmic fire burned half the sky, and countless Spirit Devouring Bugs died. ¡°Chi chi!¡± After becoming an Absolute Saint, the suppression of this space had decreased. The Four Immortal Slaying Swords attacked again, working together with the Red Karmic Fire Lotus. In addition, Lin MO also brandished the Broken Moon Sword. Naturally, the target was the pitch-black World Tree branch. It was the one who had released the Spirit Devouring Bug. Today, no matter what, he had to cut it off and burn it completely with karmic fire. ¡°Crash!¡± As if sensing a threat, the branches shook slightly, and the leaves on them made a crisp sound. Following that, countless Spirit Devouring Bugs appeared. The black fog transformed into a twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus. Unfortunately, it failed this time. How could such an Innate treasure be easily imitated? Even those who were proficient in the Great Dao of Fire could not replicate it. This was the Red Karmic Fire Lotus, which could burn all karma. Only one flower could exist in each world. ¡°Immortal Slaying, Evil Slaying!¡± ¡°Kill!¡± Lin MO shouted. The Broken Moon Sword and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords attacked at the same time. All five Immortal swords moved downwards and slashed at the thick branch. ¡°Karmic fire, please suppress the demons and burn everything.¡± The twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus under his feet released endless flames. The dark red sea of fire enveloped the entire sky. The leaves of the World Tree were also ignited. The karmic fire was difficult to extinguish. Countless Divine Chains of Order appeared, wanting to attack Lin MO, but it was difficult for them to move forward in the sea of fire. ¡°Bang!¡± The burning flames and the slashes of the sword aura finally damaged the indestructible World Tree. It had been suppressed by the will of heaven here, so it was difficult for it to unleash the true power of the World Tree. Lin MO held an Innate treasure in his hands as he did something heaven-defying. Cracks began to appear, and the thick branches began to burn with karmic fire. The Immortal Slaying Sword also left sword marks on his body. Numerous laws appeared, healing his injuries and extinguishing his karmic fire. ¡°I¡¯m coming.¡± Seeing that it was effective, Lin Mot s fighting spirit rose. He continued to transmit spiritual qi, allowing the Red Karmic Fire Lotus to maintain its maximum circulation. ¡°Not bad, but your time is precious. Go on to the next space.¡± A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Lin MO turned his head excitedly. A man walked out of the space with a smile on his face. ¡°Senior!¡± Lin MO was delighted. He was finally meeting the Rainbow-Winged Bird again. He had been alone and helpless all this while after such a huge incident. At the beginning of the King¡¯s battlefield, the Qilin could have come to help, but he had quickly ended the battle. After that, the Spirit Devouring Bugs would invade. What was going on in the Demon State? Or had they only attacked the sky battlefield? Lin MO asked this question in his heart. He was eager to know the answer. ¡°It¡¯s chaotic outside. This is your chance to rise. The Qilin has been taken away by the Bai Clan,¡± chuckled the Rainbow-Winged Bird. The World Tree had sensed the anomaly when the sky battlefield had appeared. It had alerted the powerful creatures on every continent. The Bai Clan had immediately sent people over. They had originally planned to take Lin MO and the Qilin away. In the end, Lin MO entered the sky battlefield, so they had only managed to take the Qilin away first and had contacted him to protect Lin Mo¡­ Chapter 819 - Chapter 819: The Broken World Chapter 819: The Broken World ¡°Go to the next sky battlefield. Just leave this to me,¡± said the Rainbow-Winged Bird as he urged Lin Mo to leave. A powerful aura burst out of him and he began to fight with the branch of the World Tree. This was the aura of an Emperor-to-be. When he had disappeared for three months, he had indeed gone to the outer realm to undergo the Emperor-to-be Heavenly Tribulation. He had been called back, but he then had to face a dangerous battle. ¡°The next one should be the sky battlefield of the Great Saint Realm, right?¡± Lin Mo nodded. The golden path appeared again and carried him to higher ground. However, what shocked him was that the sky battlefield of the Great Saint Realm had long been destroyed. It was completely destroyed. Seeing this scene, Lin Mo was shocked. The luck here had disappeared. ¡°That can¡¯t be right. Just after I entered the Saint Battlefield, there was a surge of power¡­¡± Lin Mo made a guess. That power should have come from this broken battlefield. In order to prevent this luck from being devoured by the Spirit Devouring Bugs, the will of the Great Path had given it to him directly. Passing through the dilapidated space, the golden path grew and carried him to higher ground. The battlefield of the Absolute Saints, where the Eight Demon Kings fought. When he arrived, the so-called Eight Demon Kings no longer existed. The space here was shattered. It was hard to imagine what kind of impact it had suffered. It was already on the verge of destruction. ¡°You¡¯re here. It¡¯s not too late.¡± Among the ruins, Lin MO finally spotted some people. It was another familiar face, Qin Ya. She was known as the Phoenix Maid by the Imperial Clan, and she was an extremely mysterious woman in his heart. ¡°Senior Qin Ya, are the Spirit Devouring Bugs here?¡± Lin MO asked. He had cultivated the Heavenly Eye of Martial Arts and was now an Absolute Saint. He could see the terrifying energy fluctuations around Qin Ya. This place had just experienced an unprecedented battle. The Spirit Devouring Bug¡¯s aura had already disappeared. Obviously, the final winner was Qin Ya. She had destroyed all the Spirit Devouring Bugs and might even have cleared the branches of the World Tree¡­ ¡°This is an Emperor-to-be battlefield. The Absolute Saint battlefield was broken long ago.¡± Qin Ya shook her head and told Lin MO the truth. The sky battlefield of the Supreme Saint Realm had self-destructed just like the Quasi-Saint Realm. Nothing was left behind, including that bit of luck. It was completely detonated. ¡°Absorb the luck. It can help you reach the peak of Emperor-to-be.¡± Qin Ya asked Lin MO to quickly cultivated the luck here. This was also the last Quasi-Emperor battlefield. It contained nearly 70% of the Demon State¡¯s power of luck. Lin MO even felt that if Qin Ya cultivated all of it, would she directly advance to the Great Emperor Realm? ¡°This world is incomplete. The laws of the world are incomplete¡­¡± Qin Ya shook her head. Ever since the ancient war, the world had been destroyed. The World Tree was incomplete, and part of the laws had been lost. This was also the reason why countless heroes who were all amazingly talented and unparalleled had been born over the many years. In the end, he would only be able to stop at the peak of the Emperor-to-be realm. No matter how many treasures and Immortal herbs he cultivated, it would still not work. ¡°The path to becoming a Great Emperor is broken. This world is going downhill. After this last golden age, it will slowly decline.¡± There was a sense of helplessness in his words. No matter how talented he was, he was still not capable of breaking through the shackles. ¡°You have an Inner World that is still growing, right?¡± Lin MO was just about to sit cross-legged and absorb the luck when Qin Ya surprised him with this sudden question. ¡°Senior, what do you mean?¡± ¡°As long as you leave a mark on the World Tree of the continent, it will enter your world.¡± ¡°At that time, I will at the peak of the Emperor-to-be and will have a chance to break through to the Great Emperor realm. On the other hand, you will be the Heavenly Dao of that world.¡± Then, Qin Ya informed Lin MO of a few more pieces of news. In the new world, under the new laws, the divine beast Qilin had hope of being resurrected. ¡°Is that true?¡± This time, Lin MO was unable to sit still anymore. He had taken on the divine beast Qilin as his master. When he learned that his master was about to completely disappear, he felt a wave of helplessness. Even the divine beast Kun Peng had a chance to revive, so why couldn¡¯t the Qilin? ¡°I have no reason to lie to you,¡± said Qin Ya as she nodded. This was the result of the joint deduction of many peak Emperors-to-be. By allowing the World Tree to enter a new world, it could make up for the flaws in the laws and rejuvenate them. However, they were a little unwilling to let a junior become the Heavenly Dao and surpass them. However, as long as he was able to continue to exist in the new world, it would not be impossible. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I have no reason to refuse.¡± Lin MO nodded. There was no need to refuse. Even if he could not revive his master, the divine beast Qilin, he would welcome the World Tree to move in. ¡°Oh right, is there a problem with the ancient World Tree?¡± Lin MO asked. He wanted to know more now. Since his realm had already risen, there was no need for Qin Ya to hide this information from him. ¡°Since ancient times, there has only been one World Tree in this world,¡± said Qin Ya with a shake of her head. The situation of the two ancient trees fighting on the outside was a little special. In ancient times, the World Tree had been severely damaged in the face of the Spirit Devouring Bug clan¡¯s disaster. It had no choice but to shed its original body and seal it. It had become a seed and grew again, but the price it paid was that the entire Eastern Continent would fall silent and become a land of death. Later on, the World Tree revived, and the original body bore fruits and gave them to fated people. However, the Spirit Devouring Bug clan had made a comeback and snatched away the original body of the World Tree. This was also the reason they had fought. ¡°Whether we can succeed or not depends on whether you can help the World Tree. Otherwise, everything will just be empty talk.¡± By the time the conversation ended, Lin MO had found out everything. ¡°My Inner World wants to grow quickly, so I need a lot of Supreme-grade spiritual stones,¡± said Lin Mo. This was his request. He wanted Qin Ya and the others to do everything they could to collect Supreme-grade spiritual stones and send them to him. ¡°Alright, they will arrange it.¡± Qin Ya nodded. Lin MO began to absorb the luck from a state, and the process was very smooth. With the God Devouring Body and the twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus, the cultivating speed was extremely fast, and the breakthrough of his realm was also very smooth. On the third day, he broke through to the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Absolute Saint Realm. At the same time, an Emperor-to-be sent him a large number of Supreme-quality spiritual stones. The world was about to come to an end, and it could be considered that their lives were in danger. At this point in time, they did not care about not leaving their roots behind. One by one, mines were sent over. Their respective families also moved out and sent over piles of Supreme-grade spiritual stones. ¡°So many¡­¡± Lin MO was extremely shocked. There were countless of them, and every single one of them was Supreme-grade spiritual stones. With one thought, these mineral veins and Supreme-grade spiritual stones were all stored in his Inner World in the next moment. [ Supreme-grade spiritual stone successfully injected. Reward: Soul Empowerment, Formation Mastery.] Because he had the God Devouring Body, he didn¡¯t need to worry about his physical body. Lin MO had already mastered the laws, but his soul was his weakness. When facing an enemy, this could very well become a fatal danger. Lin MO had been very worried earlier. He had wanted to find a way to find all kinds of magic treasures to improve his soul realm after he left. However, he did not need it anymore. The system had already given him the reward. Moreover, it allowed him to be proficient in array formations. The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation that he had never understood before was now suddenly enlightened. ¡°Such a profound formation is truly rare.¡± He could not help but praise this. At the same time, he sped up his cultivation. He had to help the World Tree as soon as possible.. If it failed, everything would be over¡­ Chapter 820 - Chapter 820: A New World Chapter 820: A New World [ Successful infusion. Reward: Martial Arts Proficiency. ] A month later, Lin Mo broke through to the Emperor-to-be realm and consumed a lot of luck. During this period of time, Qin Ya sent countless Supreme-grade spiritual stones and news from outside the Demon State. The battle of the World Tree had already reached the outer realm, and both sides were in a stalemate. There were also powerful beings within the Spirit Devouring Bug clan, and their clansmen were not afraid of death. They attacked the World Tree in a frenzy. Fortunately, there were many Emperor-to-be masters on their side. They even borrowed Lin Mo¡¯s Four Immortal Slaying Swords to help the World Tree relieve a lot of pressure. [ Successful injection. Reward: a super-large Supreme-grade Spiritual Stone Mine. ] ¡°Inject it directly into the Inner World,¡± Lin Mo murmured. It had been half a month since he had broken through to the Emperor-to-be realm. He was now in the Third Heavenly Layer of the Emperor-to-be realm. In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. Lin MO had broken through to the sixth level of Emperor-to-be and his aura continued to rise. Soon, the World Tree controlled by the Spirit Devouring Bug clan attacked because it was also a World Tree that controlled the Law of Fate. During the battle, it had seen a corner of the future and knew that Lin MO was a variable. If his seclusion was disrupted, the World Tree¡¯s power would definitely be comparable to a Great Emperor, or even surpass it. The sky battlefield had been destroyed. If Lin MO had not had the twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus to protect him, he would have died. He immediately recalled the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and set up the sword formation. Terrifying sword qi surged, and all the Quasi-Emperors present were shocked and excited. As the sword formation was set up, Lin Mo¡¯s aura actually rose to the Martial Monarch Realm. That¡¯s right, it had to be an Imperial Emporer Realm master. They couldn¡¯t be mistaken. There was a feeling of everything being suppressed with just a raise of a hand. Even though they were peak Emperors-to-be, they were still not capable enough to face a Great Emperor. They wouldn¡¯t even be able to take a single blow from him. After escaping danger, Lin Mo¡¯s cultivation came to a halt. Because the remaining luck of the Demon State had been destroyed, and the luck of the other states was not obvious, they were not able to cultivate quickly. At this moment, he was at the seventh level of the Emperor-to-be realm. [ Successful injection. Reward: Seed of the World Tree. ] Just as everyone was at their wits¡¯ end, the system¡¯s voice rang out. Lin MO was slightly surprised by it. As expected, the formation of the Inner World was completed perfectly. The seed of the World Tree had also appeared. As long as it was planted, it would give birth to new life. At that time, the first batch of living beings in the Inner World would be born together with the new World Tree. However, Lin MO did not choose to plant it. Instead, he took it out and swallowed it. Boundless world qi filled his body, and the power contained in the World Tree Seed even exceeded the luck of a state. Many Emperors-to-be were guarding him. Some of them were proficient in formations and were controlling the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to prevent any accidents. This time, Lin MO went into seclusion for three whole years. When he opened his eyes again, a trace of an emperor aura radiated from his body. By cultivating the seed of the World Tree, he had taken the step that countless people dreamed of. ¡°Great Emperor, how did you make your breakthrough?¡± An Emperor-to-be exclaimed. Wasn¡¯t it said that because this world was heading towards destruction, no one would be able to break through to the Great Emperor realm? It had nothing to do with talent. It was because the World Tree was flawed. ¡°Seniors, I¡¯m going to the outer realm. Please wait for my good news,¡± said Lin MO as he stood up. After three years of closed-door cultivation, he had not expected to directly break through to the Great Emperor realm. Perhaps it was because the seed of the World Tree contained a complete Dao Law, which was equivalent to him making a breakthrough in a perfect world. ¡°We have fought for so long. It is time to end it¡­¡± In the chaos of outer space, the endless void surged, and the World Tree fought within it. At this moment, it was riddled with injuries. There was an obvious crack on the thick tree trunk that almost broke it. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Leave the rest to me.¡± Lin MO waved his hand, and a gentle power spread out from his palm. It brought with it a complete Dao law and healed the World Tree. ¡°Clatter!¡± Countless pitch-black chains emerged from the chaos. The Spirit Devouring Bugs then controlled the original body of the World Tree to begin an attack. They let out roars that were filled with anger and ruthlessness. ¡°Every living creature has its reason for existing, but I can¡¯t find a reason for you to continue to exist,¡± said Lin MO coldly. What he got in response was the frenzied attacks of the Spirit Devouring Bugs. It was controlling the World Tree¡¯s original body as it attacked without any regard for its life. ¡°Chi chi!¡± The twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus appeared, and the scarlet Four Immortal Slaying Swords circled around his body. The flames were mixed with sword qi. At this moment, Lin MO finally erupted with the power of the twelfth-grade Red Karmic Fire Lotus. There were also the Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the Broken Moon Sword that had just broken through. The combined attacks of those few genuine treasures were almost enough to crush the Spirit Devouring Bugs. Even though they were controlling the original body of the World Tree, they were still unable to break through the seal of the sea of fire. Along with the sword light, the World Tree that connected the sky and the earth finally collapsed and was cut in half by the Broken Moon Sword. The karmic fire swarmed up and began to burn. The fire lit everything in the chaos up and burned everything. The Spirit Devouring Bug clan, the original body of the World Tree, nothing was left.. The sea of fire lasted for three months before it finally burned the World Tree¡¯s huge body completely. After checking repeatedly, Lin MO returned to the mainland. With a wave of his hand, the space behind him split open, and a brand new world appeared. At the center of the world was the Nine Elements Celestial-grade Dragon Vein. A new World Tree took root and flourished. Its injuries were completely healed, and at the same time, a complete Dao Law was derived. Many Emperors-to-be on the continent cheered. When they saw Lin MO nod, they swarmed forward and flew into the brand new world. This was the continent where they originally occupied, so naturally, they wouldn¡¯t just let it go. After all, this was the place where they lived. They would ask the World Tree to help them connect the two worlds. The five continents were drawn into Lin Mo t s Inner World. The living beings on the continent did not feel much about this. All they felt was that the spiritual qi between heaven and earth had suddenly become a little denser. Their cultivation speeds became even faster, and they had a new understanding of their comprehension of the laws. Some people even thought that they had an epiphany and were still complacent. Only the Emperor-to-be was qualified to know what had happened. The cultivation environment had changed. This was a more perfect world. The nomological laws were perfect, and the World Tree had no flaws. Their stagnant realms actually loosened up a little¡­ [ The Inner World has been completely perfected. The level of the realm has increased. A new realm has appeared above the Great Emperor realm. It is the Conferred Great Emperor realm! ] [ Congratulations to the host for becoming the lord of the realm and the new Heavenly Dao! ] The system¡¯s voice sounded. It was possible that this might be the last time. Lin MO sat quietly on a branch at the top of the World Tree, admiring the beautiful scenery of this world. Countless years later, the divine beast Qilin¡¯s true spirit condensed, and its soul was revived by the faith of all living beings. This was a long process. The Qilin replaced her mother and walked into the new world with the identity of the auspicious beast, the White Qilin. It blessed all souls and spread faith ¡­ Bai Luo made a breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm and led the Bai family to become the number one Great Emperor Realm clan in the world. His status was so extraordinary that no one dared to provoke him.. The Molin Chamber of Commerce was the largest merchant association in the world, and also the strongest force¡­ ¡°Snap!¡± Jiang Xiyue walked over in a white dress with a faint smile on her face. She walked to Lin Mo¡¯s side and sat down before resting her head on his shoulder. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±
