A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 188 The Spirit Realm, Here I Come...

What exactly did Jianmu do?
Could it be that they stole the chrysanthemum from the celestial realm?!
"Boom!"

As soon as the deep purple arc of lightning cleaved out from the spatial rift, Li Weizhou felt his primordial spirit being locked onto by a terrifying force. The feeling seemed to carry the determination to tear apart space and annihilate the soul. Even the surrounding spiritual clouds were shattered into dust by the power of the lightning, turning into countless golden fragments.

His scalp tingled, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled towards the Five Elements Hall.

The five-colored spiritual light of his primordial spirit was so frightened that it flew away, its circulation speed several times faster than when it broke through. The spiritual clouds along the way were scattered by it, but it didn't even have the courage to look back.

The bolt of Purple Heaven Celestial Lightning followed closely behind like a soul-chasing rope. Wherever the lightning arc passed, a small black crack was cleaved in the space, and even the pressure of heaven and earth was disrupted by the power of the lightning.

Li Weizhou could clearly sense that even if he were only swept by the aftershocks of this lightning, his primordial spirit would be instantly dissipated.

But how could he possibly outrun Divine Thunder?
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and the illusory image of the Jianmu tree in his sea of ​​consciousness vanished without a trace.

The Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder seemed to pause for a moment...

Li Weizhou simply traveled back to Earth himself, letting his body freefall...

The purple divine lightning hovered in the sky for a moment before slowly dissipating, leaving behind only a patch of spiritual clouds disturbed by the lightning's power and the still unclosed spatial rift, silently telling the story of the danger that had just occurred.

Three breaths later, Li Weizhou was back in time, before he even fell to the ground, and the world returned to peace...

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked up with lingering fear, and then returned to the Five Elements Hall.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

When Li Weizhou opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Yueniang supporting his arm, asking with a worried expression.

Situ Qingyue, Feng Biwu, and Qi Erniang also gathered around him, looking at him with concern.

"I'm fine... just a little weak."

It took Li Weizhou a while to catch his breath before he managed to say, "That was close! I almost got struck by divine lightning from the celestial realm."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

Lightning from the Celestial Realm?!
Situ Qingyue asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

Li Weizhou asked in bewilderment, "Didn't you see it?"

Situ Qingyue and the others shook their heads. Zhou Yueniang said truthfully, "I saw you looking very happy at first, and then your face was full of fear."

Situ Qingyue pointed out: "He displayed a complete disgrace."

Feng Biwu put it more bluntly: "He has a sleazy look on his face."

Qi Erniang asked suspiciously, "You didn't go to the celestial realm and seduce a fairy, did you? And then you got caught and struck by lightning?!"

Li Weizhou was so choked by Qi Erniang's words that he almost coughed. He reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "What are you thinking? There are four fairies at home, which is just right. Where else would I go to seduce them?" As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his dantian, where a faint warmth still lingered. It was the spiritual energy of the immortal realm that he had just captured from the rift. Although it was not much, it made his primordial spirit feel more solid than ever before, and even the minor damage caused by the pressure of heaven and earth was being quietly repaired.

Seeing that he seemed relaxed, Zhou Yueniang felt a little relieved, but she still held his wrist tightly: "Don't interrupt, tell me clearly, what exactly happened just now? What was that lightning? Where did you go?"

Li Weizhou then spoke of the perilous nature of the rift, saying, "My senior sister told me that immortal energy could leak out from that spatial rift, so I tried to touch it to see what it was like. I actually managed to touch a wisp, but as soon as I swallowed it, a bolt of Purple Heaven Immortal Lightning struck down from above. That lightning, tsk tsk, just thinking about it is terrifying. I really felt the taste of death. It's incredibly powerful and sinister!"

Situ Qingyue frowned and asked, "How did the other Spirit God Realm cultivators manage that?"

"Who knows, maybe I went up too early..."

Li Weizhou shrugged and said, then turned to his four wives, “I’m going into seclusion for three days. We’ll talk about it in detail later. Explain to your master’s wife and senior sister, don’t say ‘spiritual god,’ just say ‘entering the spiritual essence.’”

Zhou Yueniang smiled and said, "We understand. You should go now."

Li Weizhou hugged one person and then went to the quiet room.

What does it feel like to be in the Spirit God Realm?
It's very simple; it's the true integration of one's soul with one's own spiritual energy.

Thus, one can directly mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, and unleash Taoist magic, like the power of heaven and earth.

The stronger one's primordial spirit, the higher its affinity with spiritual energy, the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth it can mobilize, and the stronger its Daoist techniques will naturally become.

And who can be more attuned to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than one who has opened the Hidden Divine Palace and awakened innate supernatural powers?
It turns out that this type of person is destined to become a giant in the future, and that's why.

As long as they cultivate and strengthen their own primordial spirit, they can easily become the strongest among those of the same realm!
When the primordial spirit can be in harmony with immortal energy and control immortal spiritual energy, one becomes a powerful being in the Immortal Spirit Realm.

Why is Zhongzhou so powerful, with so many Immortal Realm True Monarchs?
It is precisely because the Central Plains is blessed with unique natural advantages that, regardless of whether it is due to proper sacrificial rites or some other reason, the spiritual energy leaking down from above is the strongest.

Now, Li Weizhou feels that he doesn't need to go to Zhongzhou to succeed.

……

Earth.

The winds on the Shan Plateau are no longer as biting as they used to be; they have become gentler, but they still make the surrounding short grass rustle.

Li Weizhou stood before the massive Jianmu tree, speechless for a moment.

Did this guy really rip out the chrysanthemum of the immortals?!

The Jianmu tree, which had already grown to nine zhang tall and had become lush and leafy after consuming the remains of the Fusang ancient tree, more than doubled in size again at this moment, reaching nineteen zhang, nearly twenty zhang tall.

In order to grow a few inches, Li Weizhou practically drained Xiao Rizi and Amei's forest.

The effect was not as good as a single sneak attack by Jianmu...

What was once a tiny seedling is now so large that it takes two people to hug its trunk.

The dark brown bark was covered with pale green spiritual patterns, as if the spiritual essence of the ancient Fusang tree that it had previously absorbed and the newly acquired immortal essence had been blended together.

When his fingertips touched it, it wasn't the roughness of ordinary wood, but rather a warm touch. The spiritual energy seeped into his bones through his fingertips, easing the palpitations he had felt earlier from the divine lightning.

The branches spread out in all directions, like a large, open green umbrella.

The branches weren't thin and weak; they were about as thick as an adult's arm, glowing with a pale green spiritual light, and wrapped with spiritual threads as fine as hair. These threads intertwined, weaving a semi-transparent net in mid-air, with tiny golden rays floating between the meshes.

The most eye-catching feature is the leaves. The palm-sized leaves are much thicker than before, and the emerald green leaf flesh hides faint golden veins, as if someone had embroidered patterns on the leaves with gold thread. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the golden veins flash, imbuing the surrounding air with a faint, ethereal fragrance.

A tiny dewdrop still clung to the tip of the leaf, gleaming faintly.

That was the immortal essence that hadn't been fully absorbed by the Jianmu tree...

This wave of good fortune is truly exhilarating for Jianmu.

A few golden rays fell on the meadow below, causing the surrounding short grass to grow wildly and even bloom into several pale purple flowers with fine golden veins on their petals, making them look like ordinary flowers and grasses from Earth.

Originally, spiritual energy was only allowed to exist within the area of ​​the Blood Sea without being dissipated...

After thinking for a moment, he brought Xiao Rui over.

Xiao Rui was pleasantly surprised by Li Weizhou's appearance, but upon arriving here, she exclaimed in surprise, "How did it grow so thick and so big?"

Li Weizhou: "..."

Xiao Rui chuckled, placed her hand on Li Weizhou's shoulder, and leaned against him gently. After taking a couple of breaths, she realized something was wrong. She opened her bright eyes, looked at Jianmu, and then turned to look at Li Weizhou.

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "This is a rare opportunity, take a few more puffs." After saying that, he glanced at the checkpoint not far away.

Xiao Rui opened her arms wide and exclaimed in delight, "I feel... so much more refreshed!"

Li Weizhou said, "From now on, we'll take the Wood Essence Pills here; the effects will be even better."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jiugu appeared, looking at the rapidly growing Jianmu tree with astonishment. He said to Li Weizhou and Xiao Rui, "I rushed over as soon as I received the news of the anomaly. Good heavens, it's grown so much taller all of a sudden... Wait, what's going on? I took a couple of breaths, and I feel..."

Xiao Rui smiled and asked, "Do you feel like your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol are all normal now?"

Zhao Jiugu's hair had long since turned completely white, but he laughed heartily and said, "You know what, you really do feel much lighter!"

Li Weizhou laughed and said, "Then take a few more breaths. Jianmu has had some fortuitous encounters and hasn't fully digested them yet. You're in luck."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiugu hurriedly said, "Could you..."

Li Weizhou waved his hand and laughed, "It's only a few breaths, there's no time to waste, hurry up and take yours. Besides, the nearby sanatoriums will also benefit."

Xiao Rui said with a smile, "The price is going up again."

Zhao Jiugu chuckled, "It's still going up... But it's good, we can use farms to replace it. The whole of Africa is now full of modern farms."

Sure enough, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, that ethereal feeling vanished.

Li Weizhou said to Xiao Rui, "I have other things to do. I'll come see you after I'm done with this."

Xiao Rui nodded and smiled, "Okay, go ahead."

Li Weizhou's figure then vanished without a trace. Zhao Jiugu smiled at Xiao Rui and said, "Ms. Xiao has had a tough time too."

Xiao Rui chuckled and said, "We can't have it all and expect to have it all, can we?"

Zhao Jiugu laughed heartily and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. It's Mr. Li's good fortune, and Ms. Xiao's good fortune too. It's the envy of the world."

……

When Li Weizhou reappeared, it was on the moon.

The deeper his understanding of the Spirit God Realm, the more powerful he felt this realm was.

With an ample supply of wood spirit energy, endless steel was refined, and his "Undying Sword Body" quickly rose to the Spirit God Realm.

That's secondary; the important thing is that he finally has a little control over magical treasures like the small mirror and the small sword.

This control means that he has mastered the most fundamental essence of these magical treasures.

This level of control is something that should never be within the reach of someone at the Spirit God Realm.

But since he has this opportunity, it also means that he has come into contact with the corresponding fundamental laws.

For example, the spatial supernatural power contained within the small mirror.

This time, he teleported from Earth to the Moon not using Blood Sea Escape, but... Void Step.

This small step may seem insignificant for traveling, but for Li Weizhou, it was an extremely important one.

At this moment, he stands on the moon, gazing towards Mars, eager to try.

Although Venus is closer, it's practically a living hell. Its atmosphere is full of sulfuric acid, and the surface is hundreds of degrees hot, so it's not really relevant.

Although the Martian climate isn't great, at least we can stay there.

but……

The distance from Earth to the Moon is only 400,000 kilometers, while the farthest distance to Mars is over 400 million kilometers.

Even if we hold on, we can probably get through this, but why rush things?
He is only at the first level of the Spirit God Realm. When his cultivation level is higher, his primordial spirit power will be stronger, his understanding of the small mirror will be deeper, and his spatial supernatural abilities will be more profound, it may only be a matter of a flash.

But how should one temper the primordial spirit?
For Li Weizhou, whose foundation lies in the Blood Sea, ascetic cultivation is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Upon reaching the Spirit God Realm, especially after the entire Ice Dragon was refined into the Blood Sea, the Blood Sea clearly advanced once more.

Now, they can collect not only flesh and bones, but also souls...

Who has a soul?

All sentient beings possess a soul.

Even pigs...

Although, compared to the powerful primordial spirit of the Spirit God Realm, the soul of a pig or a mortal is insignificant.

However, a soul is a soul, and every weak soul contains a trace of the purest soul power.

Little by little, a single thread may seem insignificant, but what about a hundred million threads?
Around 60 million people die on Earth every year, and the number of animals that die is in the hundreds of billions. In the spirit world, let alone anyone daring to do this, even if a demonic cultivator had the opportunity to slaughter countless souls, they wouldn't dare to absorb so many divine souls, fearing that the mixed divine thoughts would corrupt their primordial spirit and turn them into a madman.

Only the Blood Sea, which naturally absorbs the most filth and impurity, can filter out a trace of pure soul.

Li Weizhou returned to the Spirit Realm, to the quiet room of the Five Elements Hall, and began to experience the power of the Spirit God Realm here.

His use of the Kunwu Sword and the Five Elements Revolving Divine Sword became increasingly effortless.

The ability to manipulate spiritual energy within the Five Elements Sect has become increasingly intuitive and efficient.

Most importantly, Void Step.

When I first entered the spirit world, I wanted to escape into the void, but it felt like squeezing into a piece of hard plastic—it was incredibly difficult.

When you reach the Spirit Transformation stage, it's a bit better; you can go in, but you have to come out immediately, otherwise you feel like you'll suffocate inside.

After ascending to the Spirit Origin Realm in one step, one can finally escape into the void, but at most one step can only cover a distance of about ten feet. This was when one was at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Origin Realm.

But once you reach the Spirit God Realm, it's like heaven and earth.

Li Weizhou roamed through the void like a dragon entering the sea.

Although it's nowhere near as exaggerated as traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a single step from Earth to the Moon.

However, covering dozens of miles was still a piece of cake!
Li Weizhou had considered that breaking through to the Spirit God Realm would increase his strength, but he never dreamed that he would break through to this level!

Those three from the Sin Clan from last time wouldn't even be a match for him if they were all put together!

With the surge in Jianmu's price, Shentong has advanced once again!
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he felt a warm, cool sensation spread throughout his body.

The coolness spread along his meridians and quickly condensed into a semi-transparent, wood-colored barrier on his body.

The barrier was covered with mysterious spiritual patterns, which were the innate spiritual seals on the main trunk of the Jianmu tree. The gaps between the spiritual patterns were also inlaid with fine golden light of immortal charm, as if the barrier was edged with a thin layer of gold.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Weizhou's eyes as he wielded the Xuanjin Sword and thrust it towards the barrier.

The moment the Xuanjin Sword touched the barrier, it was gently stopped by the spiritual runes.

He increased his strength, using the power of his primordial spirit at the Spirit God Realm to activate the Xuanjin Sword. The sword light instantly intensified, transforming into a beam of Xuan light that crashed towards the barrier.

With a muffled thud, the barrier caved in even deeper, but the ancient seal suddenly brightened, actually deflecting the Xuanjin Sword back.

What the hell!

Li Weizhou chuckled. As long as it wasn't a powerful weapon, if ordinary cultivators came to kill him, he could just stand still and probably deflect those petty thieves to death!

If before they had to rely on the Five Elements Formation to protect themselves and their families, from now on, as long as a few Immortal True Monarchs come to attack, the Li family will have a firm foothold in the Spirit Realm!

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of unrestrained laughter echoed from the quiet room of the Five Elements Hall.

But soon it fell silent, and the quiet room was empty.

Li Weizhou was nowhere to be seen within the territory of the Five Elements Sect.

Spirit world, here I come...

……

Lingze City.

It is a distance of 25,000 miles from the territory of the Five Elements Sect.

Li Weizhou had heard Wang Kui and the others talk about this place before, praising it highly, but he couldn't imagine what it was like.

He thought Qingshui City was quite remarkable, but seeing this city now, he realized that his understanding of the Spirit Realm was still somewhat lacking...

Lingze City is built against Lingshan Mountain, with a circumference of 150 li, like a lurking rhinoceros. The blue-patterned rock walls are full of spiritual charm, and the bricks and stones are full of vitality.

The ten-zhang-long (approximately 33 meters) deep jade city gate is inlaid with the two characters "Lingze" in black gold, and the jade lions on both sides are inlaid with spiritual crystals as eyes, which can spew spiritual fire to defend against enemies when angry.

The streets are paved with flowing spiritual bricks, and the gaps between the bricks draw out the faint light of spiritual veins. The spiritual phoenix trees stand tall by the roadside, and fallen leaves gather into fine spiritual fragments, which can be picked up to brew tea to clear away stagnation and astringency.

Li Weizhou didn't know if it was true or if the guy who gave him directions was just bragging. In any case, he was stunned by what he heard. He even thought about sweeping up some fallen leaves and taking them to the world's tycoons to try...

The nine-story Mingyu Tower in the city center is the most eye-catching. Compared to this tower, the Xuantian Tower in the center of Qingshui City looks like a farmhouse built by a farmer in the countryside.

I've heard that this building gets its name from its body made of cold jade, which can calm the restless nature of spiritual materials. Thirty-six strings of spiritual jade wind chimes hang outside, and the sound of them when the wind blows can soothe the mind and clear the spirit.

This building alone is a treasure.

The first floor is used for casual cultivators to exchange goods, while the second floor and above house rare treasures, elixirs, and secret scrolls from various states. The communication bead on the roof connects to the four seas of the spirit world, and if a cultivator from the Northern Spirit Domain requests a distant item, a reply can be received within half a month.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Li Weizhou exclaimed repeatedly.

Even more than the best service in Qingshui City and Pang Donglai is better.

As dusk falls, the spirit crystal lamps light up one after another, their colorful light illuminating the city. The spirit crystals in the brick seams also shine, making the entire city seem like a ball of light floating on a spiritual vein, fully displaying the grandeur of the Spirit Cloud Treasure House!
These three major business alliances are truly remarkable!

It should be noted that this is just a city in the Northern Spiritual Domain, far from being a major city.

Li Weizhou did not linger on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor.

The second floor of Mingyu Tower is divided into three halls. The left hall, "Lingcui Hall," mainly buys and sells spiritual herbs and minerals, while the right hall, "Xuanqi Zhai," has a hanging phantom of a magic weapon and buys and sells magical treasures and spiritual artifacts.

The central "Yunzhen Pavilion" is a place for collecting rare and precious materials. A black jade plaque hangs on the carved railing, inscribed with the four characters "Cangwei Napu".

Li Weizhou stood in front of the counter at Yunzhen Pavilion, his moon-white robe sweeping across the bluestone slab below the railing, and handed over a plain white jade box.

As soon as the lid was slightly lifted, cold light seeped out, condensing into specks of white frost on the countertop.

Three Ice Soul Pearls lay on the velvet cloth, their ice patterns swirling like fine streams within them. Even the cultivators who were about to sell Nine Treasures Profound Iron paused and peered over.

"This is……"

After a moment's hesitation, the manager of Yunzhen Pavilion suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Ice Soul Pearl?!"

The manager of Lingyun Treasure House wouldn't be so surprised to encounter the Ice Soul Pearl so easily.

While the Ice Soul Pearl is indeed remarkable, the Spirit Realm is vast and boundless, and it is not particularly rare.

Ultimately, it has a remarkable effect on those who enter the Spirit Origin Realm from the Spirit Transformation Stage.

After that, it doesn't matter anymore.

However, among the most sensitive topics in the Northern Spiritual Domain, the three words "Ice Soul Pearl" have never fallen out of the top ten.

Because everyone knows that both the Sin Clan and the Xuanlei Sword Sect are searching for the whereabouts of the Ice Soul Pearl.

A pale green spiritual light condensed at the fingertips of the Yunzhen Pavilion manager, gently covering the jade box. The moment the spiritual energy seeped into the bead, his pupils contracted slightly, and his knuckles unconsciously rubbed the edge of the jade box. The ice patterns inside the Ice Soul Bead were not only even but also emanated a very faint ice spiritual aura, definitely not formed by ordinary Ice Soul Insects. It was nine-tenths similar to the one in the legendary Ice and Snow Secret Realm...

Because naturally grown Ice Soul Pearls will always have some flaws, more or less.

And this one, along with the one that fell into the Xuan Tian Pavilion before, is just too perfect.

The manager of Yunzhen Pavilion withdrew his hand, lowered his voice slightly, glanced at the peeking cultivators around him, then looked at Li Weizhou's moon-white robe, and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, the quality of these beads is the best we've acquired recently. I wonder... are there only these three, or are there others? My Lingyun Treasure House is willing to pay a high price for such precious beads. Xuantian Pavilion offers three hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and my Lingyun Treasure House offers five hundred per bead."

These words were spoken in a tactful and pleasant way, but they contained a test. Everyone in the Northern Spirit Domain knew that after the Sin Clan lost the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, they were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Ice Soul Pearl, and the Xuanlei Sword Sect was also secretly collecting them to avenge Lei Qianjue.

Dying in battle is not a big deal, but being tricked into becoming a laughing stock is something that Xuanlei Sword Sect is holding a grudge against.

Everyone, from top to bottom, wanted to know who was secretly plotting against the Xuanlei Sword Sect.

Although Lingyun Baoshe had no interest in the person behind the scenes, it was interested in so many Ice Soul Pearls.

In the Northern Spiritual Domain, there aren't many cultivators, and most of them are poor, so they don't fetch much of a price.

But if you take this Ice Soul Pearl to the Central Plains, there will be plenty of wealthy young men vying for it.

Li Weizhou rested his fingertips on the edge of the jade box and said calmly, "These are the only three available for now. If the shopkeeper thinks they're suitable, we can discuss the price. If not, I'll look elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, the manager of Yunzhen Pavilion's eyes darted around. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Since you feel the price needs further negotiation, it seems you're not satisfied with the initial price of five hundred mid-grade spirit stones. No problem, Lingyun Treasure House is most unwilling to let fellow Daoists suffer losses or dissatisfaction. Here's what I'll offer: eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones per stone. Fellow Daoist, this is the highest price I can offer. Consider it a token of sincerity. Regardless of whether the deal goes through or not, let's be friends. If there's anything else later, we can discuss it further."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator who had originally intended to sell the Nine Treasures Black Iron exclaimed in disbelief, "Good heavens, Lingyun Treasure House is generous, but not to this extent!"

Why is his Nine Treasures Black Iron blocking the supply of 268 mid-grade spirit stones, refusing to give even a single extra one?

Li Weizhou knew perfectly well that Lingyun Baoshe wanted to offer him a sweet treat first in order to extract his secrets.

He remained expressionless and nodded, saying, "Very well, eight hundred it is. I've long heard that Lingyun Treasure House is the number one merchant alliance in the Spirit Realm, and seeing it today, I can confirm that it lives up to its reputation."

Upon seeing Li Weizhou agree, the manager of Yunzhen Pavilion hurriedly called out to the back hall, "Bring me a storage talisman! Fill it with two thousand four hundred mid-grade spirit stones!" As soon as he finished speaking, a shop assistant wearing a blue cloth headscarf came out quickly with a tray. On the tray was a storage talisman, and it was a high-grade storage talisman at that, which could lock in spiritual energy and prevent it from leaking out. This item alone was worth over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

The shopkeeper took the storage talisman from the clerk and handed it to Li Weizhou, then leaned forward and chuckled softly, "Fellow Daoist, to be honest, if this Ice Soul Pearl were sent to Zhongzhou, its price would increase by another 20%. If you have any more stock, our Lingyun Treasure House can use a 'secret exchange,' taking only a 10% commission, half that of other shops." He then pulled out a piece of black jade with the words "Yunzhen" engraved on it, saying, "Fellow Daoist, take this. Next time you come, you don't need to wait; just look for me. By the way, may I ask your surname? It will be convenient to contact you in the future."

"His surname is Xiao."

Li Weizhou took the black jade tablet, his fingertips gently holding the cool jade surface. His tone was flat, and he didn't reveal a single extra word.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area erupted in a commotion.

The rough-looking man selling Nine Treasures Black Iron clutched the iron in his hand and couldn't help but mutter, "Why? This black iron is excellent material for refining spirit swords, and I only got two hundred and sixty-eight mid-grade pieces after haggling my eyes out, but Fellow Daoist Xiao's beads can sell for eight hundred each! Is Lingyun Treasure House looking down on people?"

A cultivator in a gray Taoist robe quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Stop shouting! Didn't you see the shopkeeper hand over the jade token? This fellow Daoist has become a distinguished guest of Lingyun Treasure House..."

Over at the Spirit Essence Hall, a cultivator carrying a leather bag suddenly turned around, placed his hand on the bag's opening, and secretly made a communication incantation with his fingertips. The communication bead inside the bag glowed with a faint red light, clearly indicating that he was using a recording stone to do something...

Another plump cultivator in brocade robes, who had been looking at spirit swords in the Mystic Weapon Shop, squeezed in as well. He was twirling a jade thumb ring in his hand and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "Old shopkeeper, could you spare one for me? My son is stuck at the peak of the Spirit Realm and he's really short of one! Fellow Daoist Xiao, could you be lenient? I'll offer nine hundred for one!"

Li Weizhou glanced at him, his eyes devoid of hostility yet utterly devoid of emotion, causing the fat cultivator to feel a chill. He swallowed back the words he was about to say, thinking to himself that this Xiao fellow was indeed no pushover.

Li Weizhou ignored the fat cultivator's words, only reaching out to take the storage talisman. After scanning it with his divine sense, he said to the shopkeeper, "Thanks, we'll talk again next time there's stock."

After saying that, he turned and left. As soon as he stepped out of Mingyu Tower, he sensed several auras following him...

Anyone could see that there was spiritual energy fluctuation on his face; he had changed his "face."

But let's follow along and see who this person is, daring to pull teeth from the mouth of the Sin Clan and making the Xuanlei Sword Sect take such a huge hit!
Li Weizhou seemed oblivious, moving unhurriedly through Lingze City. However, he would often enter a shop or restaurant and then emerge with a completely different outfit and appearance.

After several twists and turns, there were hardly any people following behind him anymore.

He smiled smugly, spun around a few more times, and finally revealed his true colors.

Dressed in a white Taoist robe, holding a folding fan, he exuded elegance.

They left Lingze City and disappeared in an instant.

After he left, an old man slowly appeared at the direction of the Lingze City gate. He was the manager of the Lingyun Baoshe Yunzhen Pavilion.

He held a photographic stone in his hand, glanced at it, and smiled.

Quite cautious, but still young...

There's a reason for the high premium. Lingyun Baoshe isn't a spendthrift; it's confident that it can recoup its losses, even tenfold, by offering such a high price.

Of course, information about Lingyun Baoshe is not available to just anyone.

However, as two of the seven sects of the Northern Spirit Domain, the Xuanyuan Dao Sect and the Xuanlei Sword Sect are certainly qualified.

The old man chuckled, awaiting the return of his distinguished guests...
