Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After leaving the Blood Origin Small Realm, Ling Pengyun immediately used spatial means to travel to the Cold Spirit Small Realm, then returned to the Heaven River Realm through its grand teleportation array.
Along the way, he considered how smoothly the Lineage's many experts had advanced to Spirit Transformation Full Completion this time, and how he still had quite a few high-grade Boundary Breaking Spirit Items on hand.
Moreover, neither the Lineage nor the Star Sea Pavilion had any other promising candidates ready to attempt Spirit Transformation Full Completion. It would be hard to put those high-grade Boundary Breaking Spirit Items to good use. If he kept them, they would likely do nothing but gather dust.
After turning the matter over in his mind, a particular idea occurred to him.
"Lately, Shining Star Dao Lord and his disciple from the Heaven River Realm's Shining Star Immortal Sect have repeatedly asked my Lineage whether we have any spare high-grade Boundary Breaking Spirit Items. They're even willing to pay a premium. All things considered, that would be a good deal."
"Besides, though they're fairly strong, they're still subordinate to my Lineage and the other powers of the Azure Profound Lineage. Our combined strength exceeds theirs several times over. Even if they gain a few more experts at Spirit Transformation Full Completion, we can keep them in check."
"Under these circumstances, I could try selling them my surplus high-grade Boundary Breaking Spirit Items and make a profit."
Ling Pengyun pondered this in silence.
He immediately headed to the Shining Star Immortal Sect in the Heaven River Realm and sought out its two masters at Spirit Transformation Full Completion, Shining Star Dao Lord and his disciple, Shining Spirit Dao Lord. He then raised the prospect of a deal.
"This is wonderful news!"
