Chapter 249: Fusion of the Soul and the Auction is Coming
Riot Sea.
Huge waves pressed down, splashing sea water hundreds of feet high, and even hitting the protective spirit shields of the two people rushing past.
The next moment, it fled at a rapid speed, evaporating all the splashing water without leaving any trace.
The two of them didn't care about such trivial matters at all, and headed straight for the riotous sea with their escape lights.
When they were about to step into the inner area, they saw a few figures wandering not far away, and they looked like they were from the Qinglong clan.
Huang Lin saw this and his eyes flashed with ferocity: "Senior Liuzu, wait for me for a moment!"
After saying that, Huang Lin had a murderous look on his face and turned into a ray of light, rushing straight towards the Qinglong clan.
But in just a moment, with several violent fluctuations of magic power sweeping over, he came back with several heads.
Liu Zu looked at him deeply and said worriedly, "Put away your murderous aura and don't upset the one in Lingxiyuan. After all, we came here to ask for something."
Looking at the depths of the riot sea, Huang Lin opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Afterwards, he followed the six feet into the inner circle of the Sea of Chaos, went deep into the seabed, and came to the surface of the Spirit Breath Abyss.
"Hmm? Why is the area around Lingxiyuan so messy?"
Huang Lin looked around and saw a mess. Not only was there rubble and man-made holes everywhere, there were even a few huge footprints.
This made him wonder if the Nether Dragon beneath the Lingxi Abyss was really as bloodthirsty and murderous as the rumors said.
"The nearby area was left behind by the three tribes' cultivators when they fought for the Spirit Breathing Milk several decades ago. Don't think too much about it."
After reminding Huang Lin, Liu Zu straightened his clothes and stepped forward and said, "Daoyou Ao, my old friend Liu Zu is here to visit. Please come out and meet him."
After calling out three times, Lingxiyuan was eerily quiet. There was no response at all, not even a single echo.
Huang Lin next to him frowned and couldn't help but said: "Senior Liuzu, I have heard of this..."
He glanced at the Endless Abyss and immediately changed his words: "This Senior Ao is aloof and arrogant, he won't meet people easily. Besides, he is from the Dragon Clan and one of the culprits who destroyed my Qilin Clan. Why should we come all the way to beg him!"
Having said that, Huang Lin looked indignant and glared at Ling Xiyuan slightly.
At the beginning, he begged Chen An for help and finally crossed the Sea of Turbulence. He was looking for the Qilin Clan with great interest, intending to join this big family and seek further improvement in strength.
But as he searched, he was surprised to find that the Qilin tribe was gone!
According to rumors in the world of immortal cultivation, the Qilin clan was once attacked by the dragon and phoenix clans, and was exterminated long ago. Even the holy place of the Qilin clan, Shenglin Island, is now dead silent and has become a barren land where lonely ghosts and evil spirits live.
This made Huang Lin, who came here with high hopes, feel disheartened. He even regretted crossing the sea of turmoil and coming to this side.
Perhaps it was the protection of the spirits of his dead clansmen in heaven, and by chance, he met Liuzu, a senior of the Qilin clan. After some communication with him, he learned that the Qilin clan was not completely extinct, and there were still nearly a hundred people alive today, slowly developing in a remote place in the world of immortal cultivation.
This rekindled hope in the heart of Huang Lin, who had already been disheartened, and he took it upon himself to revive the Qilin clan!
But at the same time, it also made him very hostile to the people of the Dragon and Phoenix clans. If he saw them, he would kill them if he could, and if he couldn't kill them, he would stay away from them, out of sight, out of mind.
Liu Zu sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "My Qilin clan has fallen to this point. We must keep a low profile as much as possible and develop slowly in order to achieve a great cause of revival in the future."
"This Daoist friend Ao Ming is a powerful Nether Dragon with a powerful body. He has few rivals among the combined cultivators. Although he is a dragon, he has a deep hatred for the dragon clan due to his childhood experiences. Later, they became enemies. He is the best ally for my Qilin clan in this search for opportunities."
Huang Lin was a little confused about the current situation of the Qilin Clan. He pondered for a while and said quietly, "There is no other way at the moment. I hope this person can cooperate with us."
The dragon and the phoenix are among the most powerful races in the world of immortal cultivation. Many forces are afraid of the strength of the two races and dare not and will not have too much contact with the remaining cultivators of the Qilin clan.
I was forced to come and find Ao Ming, who had betrayed the dragon clan!
"As expected of the Qilin clan, they are really bold. I've seen many people say bad things about others behind their backs, but this is the first time I've seen someone send someone right at the doorstep."
Before he finished speaking, a young man in black suddenly appeared in the sky above Lingxiyuan. He looked at the two of them with a stern expression and said in a cold voice: "You disturbed my beauty. Tell me, how do you two want to die?"
Liu Zu's expression tensed up, and he hurried forward: "Fellow Daoist Ao, you have misunderstood. We are here to offer you an opportunity, how could we frame you?"
At the same time, he was surprised that the other party had obviously arrived a long time ago, and although their cultivation levels were similar, he didn't even notice it.
Looking closely, Ao Ming's cold aura carried a sense of ethereality that made it difficult to understand.
As expected of the legendary spirits, their cultivation levels were similar, but there was a certain gap in their strength.
"Chance? Tell me about it. If you are not satisfied, I don't mind having a meaty meal today."
Ao Ming folded his arms and looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, as if he had regarded them as food in his mouth.
Suddenly, Liuzu frowned slightly. If a real fight came, he might not be this man's opponent. However, although the Qilin clan had declined, some of their heritage had been passed down.
If the other party wanted to kill him, it might not be that easy, otherwise, he would not have rashly made this trip.
"Speaking of this matter, it is related to my Shenglin Island."
Liu Zu had a complicated expression and said, "Right now, Shenglin Island has become a habitat for lonely ghosts. It seems dangerous, but after the earth-shaking war between the three tribes, the space on the island is not very stable, and it is faintly connected to the dark energy of the underworld. These dark energies combined with the ghosts on the island have produced subtle changes."
Hearing this, Ao Ming, who had a cold expression, changed his expression slightly: "You mean, fusion of the soul and spirit?"
Fusion of the Soul and Primordial Soul can improve the degree of fusion between the soul and the body, and is the supreme secret treasure for the Void Refining cultivators to advance to the stage of fusion!
Even for cultivators in the fusion stage, taking it can greatly benefit their cultivation.
He had heard many years ago that some evil souls on Shenglin Island had undergone abnormal changes in their bodies, and that after using special means to refine them, a trace of the divine soul could be obtained.
For this purpose, he went there once and conducted an on-site investigation, but after searching for a long time, he returned empty-handed.
This makes people wonder whether this matter is true.
He always thought that this was a trap set by the Phoenix Clan in an attempt to clean out the remnants of the Qilin Clan.
Ao Ming's eyes flashed with cold light, his face was as cold as ice: "How dare you play tricks on me?!"
He went to look for it once when he broke through the fusion, but he didn't find any soul-fusion energy.
"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood!"
Seeing this, Liu Zu hurriedly said, "The Fusion Spirit Soul does not last forever. Only every three thousand years when the space barrier between the underworld and the human world is at its weakest, will it be possible for the underworld energy to escape and cause some evil souls to produce the Fusion Spirit Soul."
"My Qilin clan knows Shenglin Island best. I have also visited it several times over the years. According to my calculations, in thirty years, the spatial barrier somewhere on the island will be the weakest in the past three thousand years!"
"Then if we join forces, we can share the treasure!" After saying that, Liuzu looked at the other party, waiting for a reply.
"Three thousand years is already that long."
Ao Ming murmured to himself. Three thousand years ago was almost the same age when he was just born. So many years passed in a flash and he had already become a powerful cultivator in the fusion stage.
Recalling the past years, some unpleasant memories gradually came to my mind involuntarily.
Forcing down the memories in his heart, Ao Ming looked down at the two people in front of him.
He knew very well why the other party came to him. As they were wary of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, many major forces would not have much contact with the remaining members of the Qilin clan, for fear of being affected. At least this was the case within the sphere of influence of the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
There are many seas and continents under the jurisdiction of the dragon and phoenix, and the radiation range is not small. Even if it is a cultivator who has reached the perfection of the void refining realm, it will take at least a hundred or eighty years to cross the entire area.
And within this range, Ao Ming is probably the most suitable candidate among the few forces that are not afraid of them.
Ao Ming's expression remained stern: "We'll meet on Shenglin Island in thirty years."
The Qilin clan is most familiar with Shenglin Island. With this person's help, he will definitely be able to save a lot of effort.
Hearing this, Liuzu breathed a sigh of relief and watched Ao Ming return to Lingxiyuan. Only then did his tense spirit relax a little.
Before he knew it, cold sweat was breaking out on his back.
It has to be said that Ao Ming's strength is indeed strong. Just his exposed aura makes him feel a little timid.
It’s a pity that the dragon clan has lost such a cultivator who has the potential to advance to the Mahayana stage. It is indeed a great loss.
Live it!
Thinking of this, Liuzu laughed secretly in his heart.
But then again, his childhood experiences do have some similarities with Ao Ming.
Many years ago, Liuzu was an ordinary Qilin in the tribe with mediocre talent. However, after a serious injury in his childhood, his body mutated and two legs grew out from his abdomen.
But in the following few years, he was surprised to find that this sudden change not only brought about changes in appearance, but also caused his qualifications to grow to a level comparable to that of a legendary spirit within a few years.
If the Qilin tribe had not been on the verge of extinction and the population had not been declining miserably, every Qilin would have been extremely precious. Otherwise, he would probably have gone the path of betraying his tribe.
North Hill.
Chen An called Chen Qing over and asked about the resources that could be mobilized by the clan to prepare for the auction nine months later.
He seldom participated in such transactions, but this time was different. Perhaps it was related to a seventh-rank spiritual object, so he was still very interested, even if it was a broken treasure.
Chen Qing took out an account book, flipped through it, and said with a bitter face: "Over the years, the Chen family has accumulated a lot of resources through several core industries, but in the past ten years, almost 80% of them have been used to acquire Sanyang Divine Water. Now there is not much left."
“I used so many resources without realizing it.”
After careful calculation, Chen An also realized that he really hadn't cared much about the consumption of the clan during his seclusion over the years.
Originally, a dozen drops of Sanyang Divine Water were enough for him to achieve Yang God, but in order to take into account the cultivation of his physical body, he had to collect more.
Anyway, in recent years, the Chen family has been purchasing Sanyang Shenshui and has already taken away most of their accumulated wealth.
There were some gains as well. Not only did he cultivate into a Yang God, but his physical cultivation also reached the late sixth level. Combining the two, it is likely that he would be hard to find an opponent among cultivators of the same level.
Since a lot has been consumed, Chen An does not plan to use any more resources from the clan. Any further consumption will affect the normal operation of the family.
"Go and inform Chen Shuang, Chen Guangzhi and others to stop hiding it. As long as it does not affect the development of the family, sell as many resources as possible."
"Are you also selling spiritual objects that assist in breaking through great realms and overcoming tribulations?"
"Sell!"
Chen An waved his hand and decided to sell everything that could be sold in the clan. After all, as long as it did not harm the family foundation and the clan members were still there, these treasures could be earned back sooner or later.
Over the years, the core industries of the Chen family are alchemy, spiritual plants and talismans, but it is not limited to these. They also dabble in weapon refining, formations, brewing, beast and insect taming, and even puppetry.
Except for some that were developed by the clansmen below, most of the others were inheritances that Chen An harvested from a large number of fourth- and fifth-level spiritual plants, and then engraved on jade slips and passed down.
Although it took some effort and time, the effect was very significant. Now the entire Chen family is thriving and can already catch up with the old family forces in Feiyun City.
In terms of overall cultivation, Chen Shuang has entered the late stage of Spirit Transformation, and it is estimated that he will not be long away from the Void Refinement stage.
Chen Long, Chen Kebao and others followed closely behind, lagging behind a little, but the difference was not big, all of them were at the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Next up is Chen Guangzhi, who is at the third level of Spirit Transformation, and some other up-and-coming talents whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds thanks to the five-colored lotus seeds.
Seeing that these people were catching up, Chen Guangzhi also practiced hard in an attempt to break through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm as soon as possible and catch up with the second echelon.
After giving the order, Chen An prepared for the auction while practicing swordsmanship in the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.
But at the same time, he also clearly noticed that the number of cultivators coming to Feiyun City during this period was increasing, and the closer it got to the auction, the greater the flow of people.
In fact, Chen An has already encountered several cultivators at the eighth or ninth level of the Refinement Void Realm!
People with this level of cultivation are not easily seen in Feiyun City on a normal day. I didn’t expect that an auction would attract so many people.
Chen An estimated that this auction was probably far more than just a broken seventh-tier treasure, and there might be other hidden secrets.
The information that Zhao Lingyun had revealed to him before, when Chen An inquired about it later, he found out that they were all news circulated among the Void Refining cultivators and there was nothing new about them.
It was estimated that this guy did not tell him the truly valuable treasures of the auction.
However, Chen An also understood that such things must not be revealed easily, and he might do the same if he were in their shoes.
All he could do now was to prepare resources well so that if he came across a seventh-level spirit seed at the auction, he could buy it in one fell swoop.
Although most of the family resources have been consumed, the precious resources accumulated by Chen An over the years are still preserved.
When I sell it, it will probably be worth a lot of money.
What's more, there is also an initial version of the Law of Heaven and Earth, which can be auctioned for at least one hundred drops of Sanyang Divine Water, which is a huge sum of money.
