Intercepted

Carrying the prepared Spirit Stones, True Person Beigong rode his Escape Light and flew towards the Chaotic Sea.

In the Spiritvoid Trading Grounds, three thousand six hundred thousand-foot-tall stone pillars rise from the ground, and passageways constructed of various materials connect these pillars like spider silk.

One by one, Cultivators, some strangers and some familiar with the path, ascended the stone pillars and, through the power of the Zhoutian Void Profound Formation, entered this array space, which can be described as the largest Formation Space in the Lu Wu Realm — the Void Profound Space.

This was certainly not the first time that True Person Beigong had come to the Spiritvoid Trading Grounds. He was not attracted by the various architectural styles in front of him, but went straight to the central area of Void Profound Space, where a magnificent and tall pyramid stood— the Myriad Treasures Pagoda.

The Spirit Items were arranged in an orderly fashion from highest to lowest rank, with the highest-ranking treasures being Sixth Tier.

True Person Beigong glanced longingly at the Saint Treasure shaped like Spirit Pearl, then looked away and scanned the Myriad Treasures Pagoda.

Even during the heyday of the Luochuan Sect, they were unable to purchase such a treasure, let alone now.

Sixth Tier Saint Treasure must be sold for Upper-Grade Spirit Stones. Luochuan Sect can raise four million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, but as for Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, let alone forty thousand, they can't even come up with ten thousand.

The Lu Wu Realm rarely produces Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, or rather, it produces almost none. Therefore, Upper-Grade Spirit Stones are the highest-level Spirit Stones, and their rarity is much higher than that of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

Theoretically speaking, the exchange rate between Middle-Grade Spirit Stones and Upper-Grade Spirit Stones is one hundred to one.

But in actual exchanges, let alone a 100:1 ratio, even a 130 or 140:1 ratio would still find plenty of people willing to pay.

Scarcity increases value. In the Spirit Realm, this exchange rate would be far too high, but in the Mortal Realm, it seems perfectly normal.

After all, large Spirit Stone Veins and Sixth Tier Spirit Veins that can produce Upper-Grade Spirit Stones are extremely rare.

The Spirit Realm is different; while large Spirit Stone Veins aren't everywhere, there are quite a few there.

There are many Sixth Tier Spirit Veins, but only Spirit Vein of the Eighth Tier and above, and super-large Spirit Stone Vein, are truly valued by the major forces in the Spirit Realm.

It didn't take long for True Person Beigong to find his target.

Fifth-Tier Upper Grade Pills, the Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill, Wound-Healing Pill. This pill is light purple in color, with very fine pill patterns distributed on its surface, and it contains a certain profound Daoist charm.

A bottle of Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pills, containing three pills, has already reached a price of 2,445,200 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

There must be quite a few cultivators eyeing this bottle of Pills; in a short period of time, the price has risen by another ten thousand.

True Person Beigong directly increased the price by 150,000, raising it to nearly 2.6 million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

This price is very close to the limit of this bottle of Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill, forcing some cultivators to retreat.

As time passed, True Person Beigong raised the bid twice more, eventually increasing the price of the Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill to 2.68 million, and successfully obtained the bottle of Pills.

"Call!"

After receiving the Pills, True Person Beigong breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate that nothing untoward had happened.

Of the four million Spirit Stones they brought, they still have over one million three hundred thousand left. At least the debts owed to the Yang Household will be paid off in no time.

After paying the Spirit Stones, True Person Beigong, carrying the Purple Sun Spirit-Replenishing Pill he had finally obtained, left the Void Profound Space. Then, riding his Escape Light, he flew out of the Four Symbols Island without looking back, preparing to return to his sect as soon as possible.

In the Eight Desolations Arena, Yang Tianyou, who was resting with his eyes closed in the wooden house, suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with divine light and a dazzling sharpness.

The sky stretches for thousands of miles, a clear, deep blue, with golden sunlight streaming down from the horizon. Star Sea soar low overhead, and every now and then, Sea Beast leaps out of the water, catching its prey off guard and swallowing it whole, leaving behind a spray of white water before disappearing into the vast depths of the sea.

The Escape Light flew from the horizon, covering dozens of miles in the blink of an eye. Spirit Transformation cultivators travel extremely fast; it only takes a few days to travel from the Chaotic Sea to the Northern River Region.

Suddenly, True Person Beigong, enveloped in the Escape Light, felt his heart clench, as if a pitch-black night was descending upon him, threatening to devour him.

"Not good!" Startled, True Person Beigong stopped and turned to run.

However, it was too late. Yang Tianyou, who had obtained 30% of the resources of the White Tiger Lineage, was able to provide considerable support to the Luochuan River Dragon King.

Accompanied by the sound of Jingtao waves, a Formation spanning dozens of miles quickly took shape.

The Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Formation, the Sea-Covering Sky-Shrouding Formation, is an extremely powerful trapping formation. Even a Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation cultivator would find it difficult to escape if caught in it, let alone True Person Beigong, a Spirit Transformation Early Stage cultivator.

Aww!

A dragon's roar shook the heavens as the golden Flood Dragon, transformed from the Luochuan River Dragon King, swooped down from above, striking fiercely at True Person Beigong.

The latter was startled and quickly summoned his Life-Bound Law Treasure for defense. It was a magnificent Palace with blue and white colors interwoven, engraved with all kinds of strange patterns, and surrounded by smoke and clouds, it looked like a fairy palace.

Boom!

The golden dragon claw collided with the Palace, unleashing a powerful shockwave that swept outwards, accompanied by Gang Wind winds that crashed onto the water below, creating towering waves.

"Luochuan River Dragon King, when did you break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm?" An incredulous voice came from True Person Beigong's mouth. After a collision, he recognized the identity of the golden Flood Dragon in front of him.

However, the Luochuan River Dragon King showed no intention of replying. Yang Tianyou's order was to kill True Person Beigong as soon as possible, and as an absolutely loyal Mirror Spirit, he dared not delay in the slightest.

Aww!!

A dragon's roar resounded across the sky, not from the Luochuan River Dragon King, but from a Fifth Tier flood Flood Dragon Puppet. Its blue dragon scales were engraved with dense, mysterious, complex, and incredibly precise Artifact Mark.

Within the Energy Core located in the dragon's belly, a large number of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones and a few Upper-Grade Spirit Stones were burning fiercely, providing the Flood Dragon Puppet with a continuous and immense source of Law Power.

"Fifth Tier Puppet?" True Person Beigong was extremely shocked, but his hands moved without slowing down at all.

The Luochuan Sect Sect-Guarding Treasures: the Luochuan Banner, the Luochuan Bottle, and the Luochuan Shield, all of which are Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Law Treasures.

Among them, the Luochuan Banner is skilled in warfare and is led by the Grand Elder.

The Luochuan Bottle is versatile in both offense and defense, and also possesses powerful binding and control abilities. It is wielded by True Person Beigong.

The Luochuan Shield serves as the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, enhancing Formation defensive capabilities. Combined with Fifth Tier Spirit Veins and other defensive measures, even Spirit Transformation Late Stage cultivator would need to expend a tremendous amount of energy and time to conquer the Luochuan Sect on their own.

At this moment, facing the sudden attack of the Luochuan River Dragon King, True Person Beigong bravely summoned the Luochuan Bottle.
