There were some things that Chen Wang didn't buy, even though they sounded very tempting. He suppressed his desire to purchase them.

Some items were even priced as high as three or four thousand Spirit Stone, and the competition was fierce.

But the next thing caught Chen Wang's attention.

Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Formation Diagram.

After the middle-aged man finished his introduction, Chen Wang's eyes lit up! The Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Formation Diagram is a formation. Once set up, it can form the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Formation. Even Foundation Establishment Realm expert would find it difficult to escape if trapped in this sword formation.

Once such a formation is obtained and set up in advance, its power should not be underestimated.

"This is a second-grade array diagram. After you buy it, you can set it up in your Lineage or in the Market. Its defensive power should not be underestimated."

The middle-aged man's voice was extremely seductive. For those who wanted to establish their own power or strengthen their Lineage, this array diagram was indeed a valuable treasure.

"Starting price is three thousand, and each bid must be at least one hundred higher. Bidding begins!"

Chen Wang was also very interested in this formation diagram.

He wasn't very proficient in formations, but in the world of cultivation, they were a method for the weak to overcome the strong. This formation could be used to fight against the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and it was also a killing formation.

Chen Wang was somewhat tempted, so he also participated in the bidding.

However, the guests in several private rooms seemed very interested in the formation, and the price kept rising.

Chen Wang offered a high price of five thousand, but still failed to acquire the array.

Inside the private room, one person after another raised the price, "Five thousand five, five thousand eight."

In the blink of an eye, the price had already exceeded six thousand, which made him gasp in surprise.

"Holy crap, the starting bid was three thousand, and it's already reached six thousand! Are these still Spirit Stone Spirit Stone?"

Chen Wang was deeply dissatisfied with these scoundrels; the price was somewhat inflated.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to give up.

This formation is good, but it wouldn't be worthwhile to buy it at the winning bid price.

Furthermore, he didn't have enough Spirit Stone.

Finally, the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword Formation Diagram was auctioned off for a very high price.

The middle-aged auctioneer was all smiles, his eyes also brimming with laughter.

"Sure enough, it's not easy to get some good stuff at this auction. Not only do you have to deal with some powerful people, but you also have to deal with some suckers."

Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Moreover, he was absolutely convinced that there were definitely shills involved to create an atmosphere.

The intricacies involved are too profound; this is Chen Wang's first time participating in an auction in the Cultivation World.

At this point, it's quite an achievement that you didn't rush headlong into it and were able to control yourself.

Two more items were handed over, but Chen Wang did not make a move.

However, Chen Wang was indeed somewhat tempted by the Five Thunder Talisman.

He once had a card with immense power, which injured Flower Immortal in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage who was caught off guard.

There are six Five Thunder Talisman in total, and they will be auctioned together as a set, not separately.

Finally, someone bid for all six Five Thunder Talisman together for 3,700 Spirit Stone.

This auction broadened Chen Wang's horizons.

He handed over the Spirit Stone and took away the Five Thunder Talisman. There were six Five Thunder Talisman in total, which were extremely powerful and consumed very little spiritual energy when activated, making them most practical for combat.

However, this is also the most expensive thing, because Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact can be reused, but talismans cannot be used again after they have been used.

Chen Wang put the Five Thunder Talisman into his pocket. After returning to the small courtyard, he discussed with Feng Lin and decided to leave the place first.

"Let's go to the vicinity of Golden Wind Island to find out the situation first. There's no need to stay in the city forever."

Feng Lin nodded.

The two of them left the place temporarily, and Chen Wang asked Feng Lin to cancel the house registration as well.

"There's no need to stay here any longer. The Black Market is good, but it's a mixed bag, and the good stuff is all at the auctions, which makes it easy for scheming people to notice it."

Feng Lin behaved extremely well.

She was very efficient and handled things quickly, canceling the lease and leaving.

Among the Thirty-Six Islands, Golden Wind Island has the richest Spiritual Qi, but there is another island that is also quite good.

This was the place Chen Wang had mentioned as a temporary lodging.

Water Cloud Island is neither too big nor too small, and it boasts beautiful scenery.

There was a big man living on the island. His name was Song Hei Hu. He was a famous master who Late-Stage Qi Refining.

The Three Heroes of Qishan were infamous for their ruthlessness, and this burly man was no less formidable.

The previous island lord was beheaded by him and his head was stuck on a wooden stake. That happened ten years ago, and no one has dared to mess with him in the past ten years.

Sometimes he goes out to take on tasks and do other things.

This person is extremely clean in his dealings, but he is not interested in women... and prefers men.

He was one of the people Chen Wang had temporarily chosen. It was a good strategy to deal with this matter before dealing with the Monk Liao Kong.

After they left the Black Market

Suddenly, several cultivators leaped out of the woods, and two more hovered in the air, piloting Flying Artifact.

"Little White, leave behind your Spirit Stone stones, magical Law Artifact, and this woman!"

A monk sneered.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. Had he been targeted at the auction?

It's unlikely.

He quickly realized that these people were probably professional Bandit Cultivator, keeping watch outside and waiting to target suitable individuals.

Usually, independent cultivators who enter the Black Market will choose to set up a stall or stay there. Chen Wang, being so young and accompanied by a woman, seems to be either an independent cultivator who has come to broaden his horizons or a disciple of a sect who has come to join in the fun.

Therefore, those who are weak and isolated are the easiest targets to attack.

If there are many people with great power, even Bandit Cultivator would think twice.

Chen Wang looked at Feng Lin: "By the way, I haven't equipped you with Flying Artifact yet."

Feng Lin was taken aback.

Seeing Chen Wang still gossiping, the leader of the cultivators immediately shouted coldly, "Didn't you hear what I said? I hate Little White boys like you the most, always trying to please women! I'm a man of Blood Qi, yet I'm despised by women."

This person seemed to harbor a great deal of resentment and had a strong opinion about Chen Wang, a handsome young cultivator.

Chen Wang's response,

Simple, powerful.

With a wave of his hand, a golden light shot through the air.

"Ah!"

The man screamed and fell to the ground.

His Flying Artifact, unpowered, crashed to the ground.

The man had a bloody hole on his forehead, about the thickness of a finger, but a fist-sized bloody hole had exploded on the back of his head. He was already dead.

Everyone was immediately horrified.

The next moment, Chen Wang's Divine Sense shot out! He didn't even need to use the Six Harmonies Heart Refining Mantra to deal with these people.

The Bandit Cultivator suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented.

The stone beneath Chen Wang's feet shattered with a bang, and he instantly charged in front of a man, grabbed his head, and crushed it to pieces!

Bang! Broken bones mixed with blood plasma, red and yellow, splattered all over the surrounding cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Wang had killed all of them.

He hit them hard; he beat the corpses beyond recognition.

He killed the last person, whose upper body had been completely shattered by Chen Wang, leaving only his two legs standing on the ground. After a moment, the man swayed and fell down.

Limbs and severed bodies littered the ground.

Even Feng Lin, who had killed many people, couldn't help but frown upon seeing Chen Wang's bloody methods.

"How fierce!"

Two of these people were of similar strength to her, and were among those who could pilot Flying Artifact. However, their auras were much stronger than hers, yet in front of Chen Wang, they were nothing more than pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Chen Wang glanced at Feng Lin, who was somewhat stunned, and urged, "Put away their belongings."

Feng Lin suddenly realized.

Coming to his senses, he softly uttered an "oh" and collected all the Law Artifact, Spirit Stone, and other items from these people.

Little White lazily stretched to the side, and when Chen Wang glared at it, it immediately became diligent and ran up to Feng Lin, meowing incessantly.

They also found Storage Bag on the dead body.

He had a fawning expression on his face.

They collected all the belongings from these people.

Chen Wang flicked his finger, and flames flew out, burning the corpses of the men to ashes.

Although these are all Bandit Cultivator, it is unknown whether there are other forces behind them.

Chen Wang still prefers to do things according to his work habits.

Murder, robbery, and disposal of evidence – a one-stop service.

After dealing with these people, Chen Wang and Feng Lin took the Orange Cat and headed to the Thirty-Six Islands area.

This place is some distance from the Thirty-Six Islands. Chen Wang handed a Flying Artifact to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin was naturally overjoyed.

The Flower Immortal wasn't generous to her disciples; she was a eccentric woman.

If someone doesn't even value life and death that much, how could they care about their disciple's financial situation?

But Chen Wang was different. Chen Wang was extremely generous, and Feng Lin obtained a Top Grade Magic Tool after following him for a short time, and it was in excellent condition.

She was also wearing this emerald green bracelet, which would make any woman happy upon seeing it.

Besides, she hadn't even had time to react when Chen Wang used a powerful technique to shatter all the cultivators she Bandit Cultivator today.

I didn't put in much effort, but by following him, I still gained a Flying Artifact.

"He used to seem so gentle and kind in the Market, I never imagined he could be so ruthless."

Feng Lin was somewhat moved.

Chen Wang was not only ruthless, but also decisive in killing, and he even set his sights on the Thirty-Six Islands.

Despite his extraordinary courage, he acted remarkably rational and calm, a contrast that piqued Feng Lin's curiosity.

When a woman feels curiosity and mystery about a man, that's the beginning of many things.

Feng Lin was in the same boat, but for her, this was not the beginning; she was already deeply involved.

They walked and stopped frequently, and Feng Lin became familiar with the Flying Artifact. She then piloted the Flying Artifact and followed Chen Wang, Xiang Fei towards the Thirty-Six Islands.

After arriving at the area of Thirty-Six Islands, Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion upon seeing the scene.

This is a large lake, surrounded by water vapor, giving people a very calm and magnificent feeling.

"The vapor rises from the Yunmeng Marsh, and the waves shake Yueyang City."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

At this moment, Chen Wang was dressed in a blue robe, and the breeze Ru Yu.

There was also a sharpness in his eyes.

Feng Lin stood beside him, half a step behind him, not shoulder to shoulder with him.

After hearing Chen Wang recite this line of poetry, her eyes lit up slightly. "You're good at fighting and you can also recite poetry. Chen Wang, what kind of person are you?"

If Chen Wang knew what she was thinking, he would only sigh and say, "I'm just a copyist of poetry."

At this point, the fact that he didn't utter the words "fuck" or "awesome" already shows he's lived up to the expectations of a good education.

The scenery here is indeed very nice, making it a great place to live.

Water Cloud Island is where the rogue cultivator Song Hei Hu resides.

There is a wooden stake on the island, and a skull is stuck in the stake.

This is the head of a rogue cultivator from the previous generation who was defeated in a battle with Song Hei Hu. His head was cut off and stuck here.

Now, times have changed, and only bones remain.

Song Hei Hu also set up some formations on the island.

At that moment, he was cultivating on the island when he suddenly saw one or two people flying through the sky.

One was a woman dressed in a blue cloth dress, with graceful bearing.

The other was a handsome young man, accompanied by an Orange Cat.

The two arrived at this place.

Song Hei Hu clearly sensed that the other party was coming with a fierce momentum, especially the young man... whose eyes were hostile.

He immediately activated the formation, creating a light blue protective shield.

Although this formation is somewhat incomplete, it is still a first-grade defensive formation and can provide some protection.

Song Hei Hu said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Have we met you before?"

The handsome young man smiled faintly and said, "I've never seen it before, but I've taken a liking to your island."

Song Hei Hu's face darkened. "The land of the Thirty-Six Islands is originally meant to be seized by whoever gets it. I've been on Water Cloud Island for ten years, and I've killed at least four people like you!"

Chen Wang glanced at the white skeleton stuck in the wooden stake. "There's only one head here... Are you kidding me?"

Song Hei Hu sneered, "Whether it is or not, see for yourself!"

Whoosh! A streak of light shot through the air; it was a small flag, about the size of a palm, which expanded in the wind as it reached Chen Wang.

The flag fluttered, Black Wind howled, and a human face lunged out! Originally it had no features, but when it reached Chen Wang, it instantly transformed into Chen Wang's appearance, captivating and terrifying!

Subsequently,

Song Hei Hu then saw that the handsome young man only glanced at his Soul-Reaving Banner.

The face inside the banner exploded with a bang!

Song Hei Hu's pupils contracted, and he gasped.

Chen Wang tapped his finger lightly.

Roar! The ancient sword let out Dragon's Roar's roar as it pierced through the air!

A beam of white light instantly shattered his first-grade defensive array.

The ancient sword hummed incessantly, and a strong killing intent emanated from it.

Song Hei Hu's expression changed drastically, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

The young man before me is definitely Foundation Establishment expert!
