Cultivation begins with planting techniques

Chapter 457 Du Yian’s Invitation
With a flip of his hand, he easily destroyed the physical bodies of two Nascent Soul cultivators and captured their Nascent Souls. Such a magical power of sword formation is truly amazing!
Du Yian, however, looked calm. He stretched out his hand and six flying swords circled around. Two of the Nascent Souls were surrounded by sword light, and they would be in immediate danger if they moved slightly.

Trapped in it, they had no power to resist, so Ruifeng and Youpeng were very obedient and did not dare to move.

But You Peng, who was only in his Nascent Soul stage, stared at Li Ye with resentment.

Although Ruifeng was also a little uneasy, he managed to stay calm. His eyes swept over Li Ye strangely, then turned to Du Yian, the person who truly controlled their life and death.

"Friend Du..."

Du Yian glanced at the two Nascent Souls with cold eyes, but did not say a word, nor did he give Ruifeng a chance to talk nonsense.

The six flying swords rolled up and sealed them each into a jade box, sealed it with layers of talismans, and put it away.

During the entire process, he had no intention of questioning the attitude of Li Ye, who seemed to have a grudge against him.

As a sect elder, his own cultivation has reached the middle stage, so he has enough confidence to act in this way.

Only after he had done all this did the stern aura on his body ease slightly, and he looked at Li Ye who was keeping a distance from him.

This person seems to be brave and domineering, but he is actually knowledgeable and sensible in his actions.

Otherwise, if he suddenly appeared, seemingly to be an enemy of the two thieves, who would know that he was not an insider pretending to be harmless?

Du Yian thought about it and said, "My fellow Taoist..."

"My name is Han Fei, a casual cultivator." Li Ye took over at the right time and introduced himself.

Du Yian paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I'm grateful for the help from Fellow Daoist Han. Otherwise, with their cunning and slippery nature, I might not be able to capture and kill them before they destroy the market."

"Han also has an old grudge against them. I was almost killed by the two of them. This time I took action more out of revenge, but I don't deserve such courtesy from Fellow Daoist Du."

Li Ye waved his hands, acting as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Changing the subject, he praised sincerely:
"On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Du's attack was fierce and swift, and he dealt with these two evil thieves in a flash. It was truly gratifying. I, Han, was deeply impressed by it!"

Du Yian burst into laughter when he heard this:
"Hahaha! What a coincidence! Du was only seeking revenge for his fellow apprentice, but it seems they've collaborated to kill many of his fellow disciples. Now that they've fallen into our hands, it's only natural that we'll be punished for our own wrongdoing. Now, we're acting on behalf of Heaven!"

"But even so, I am grateful for your help..."

He still had a smile on his face, but it was more serious.

After a little thought, he took out a small token and used his magic power to carry it in front of Li Ye.

Facing Li Ye's doubtful look, Du Yian smiled and said:
"In recent years, secret realms have appeared frequently, and various treasures and inheritances have emerged one after another... All of you fellow practitioners, including my Changqing Sect, have made some gains, but the items you obtain may not be of much use. Therefore, my sect will host an auction soon..."

"With this token, you can also participate in private discussions with fellow Daoists after the auction to exchange what you need... If you have time, please come sit down with us!"

The auction and the private transaction afterwards?
This is a good opportunity to go and see if we can find anything related to the Wood God Sect.

Even if it doesn't work, it can still collect the hundreds of arts inheritance and treasure refining materials for the main body.

Li Ye's thoughts turned, and he immediately took the small token into his hand.
"I'm just looking for a group of fellow Daoists to share my knowledge with. Fellow Daoist Du's invitation really touched my heart. I, Han, will definitely attend the appointment!"

"Good good!"

Du Yian nodded repeatedly, "If that's the case, then I'll entertain you then..."

He informed me of the time and location of the auction, then said, "Those two thieves conspired to injure Junior Brother Du. We've apprehended them this time, and will bring them back to my Junior Brother to vent his anger. Now, I'll take my leave!"

Li Ye accepted the token and watched the man leave without saying anything.

"This can be considered an unexpected gain..."

Seeing the green light escaping into the distance, Li Ye looked at the small token and released the flying boat again towards the market ahead.

Although this situation occurred halfway, the original plan to purchase intelligence was not to be abandoned.

Even if I have to return to Pingyang Mountain immediately, I must bring back new intelligence so that I can have a thorough understanding of the situation in southern Xinjiang.

………………

"Auction..."

The Nascent Soul escaped back into the body, and Li Ye took the token from his natal puppet, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

At this time, he had completed the synchronization of his natal puppet and had a complete understanding of his travel experience.

Over the years, his natal puppet had searched everywhere for traces of the Wood God Sect but had not seen any results, but had witnessed many disputes. This time, he encountered Ruifeng and You Peng being hunted by Du Yian, which was a little beyond his expectations.

"That guy ultimately failed to succeed back then. Even if he coveted it, the fact that he had his body destroyed and his Nascent Soul captured by me can be considered revenge..."

Li Ye played with the token, thinking in a relaxed manner.

The only thing that made him feel a little regretful was that the two people from Ruifeng did not fall into his hands, and he had no way of figuring out how they knew that he was carrying a rare treasure.

Not to mention taking it for your own use, it would be a good thing if it could eliminate this hidden danger.

But the Nascent Souls of those two were captured by Du Yian. With his power and cultivation level, it was naturally impossible for him to share the prey with a casual cultivator like him.

Even with the combat power of the puppet clone, it couldn't stand up to this mid-stage cultivator, so it could only give up.

Fortunately, with the progress in cultivation now, the Wooden God Cauldron has also made great progress, and the effect of suppressing aura has also been further improved.

At the same time, his training of his natal puppet became more perfect, and most of the loopholes were made up for. Under the circulation of the five elements, the power of the empty wooden skeleton no longer leaked out.

The means that those two people used to discover that he possessed rare treasures may not be effective now.

After all, he had only reached the Golden Core stage at the time, and relied entirely on his own puppet to help him disguise himself as a Nascent Soul.

Now he has achieved a breakthrough in all his cultivation skills and is not far from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Even if their means of detecting treasures were really obtained by Du Yian, they were not afraid that this person would be able to see through the rare treasures on him as easily as Ruifeng and the others did back then!

Compared to this, what Li Ye cared more about was the auction that Du Yian mentioned.

Although the puppet clone traveled to various countries, his efficiency was limited after all, and he might miss some key things.

This auction is hosted by the Changqing Sect and will surely gather many treasures from the surrounding areas, perhaps there will be what he needs.

You definitely have to go!
Now we need to consider whether the main body should participate in person or send the puppet clone...
