Ouyang Tingting Arrives in Person

There were also several Magic Swords, all low-grade, each costing around a hundred Spirit Stones, totaling at least 300 Spirit Stones.

There were also 8 bottles of Qi Gathering Pills and 3 bottles of Spirit Solidifying Pills, worth approximately 1400 Spirit Stones.

As for the other spirit herbs and ores, their prices were unclear, making them difficult to estimate.

However, the total value within this Storage Bag was at least ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanyuan was shocked. He worked hard for a year, waking early and sleeping late, earning barely ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Who would have thought that in just this short while, he would gain over ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Indeed, "murder and arson bring golden belts," the ancients were not wrong!

With such quick and substantial gains, who would still work themselves to death every day? Wasn't that just asking for trouble!

But he remembered that this harvest was only possible because he had the "Term" in his possession, coupled with good luck.

The panic he felt last night, when his Dantian's spiritual energy was completely depleted, showed that such a harvest was not easily obtained.

He had walked through the cycle of life and death to achieve this.

Whether he could have such good luck again in the future was hard to say.

Therefore, it was better to take it easy, go home, and diligently cultivate his spirit fields. That was more reliable, at least the pressure wouldn't fluctuate so wildly, it was too heart-pounding. His calm little heart couldn't handle such volatility.

Besides the opponent's daily necessities, everything else was collected. Spirit Stones and cultivation techniques were placed into the Storage Ring, while other items were put into his own Storage Bag.

Seeing such a large haul, he became even more expectant of the other Storage Bag. The Zhuge Man (he) that Xiao Wanchang had been fixated on must have had a reason, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so persistent.

After turning the opponent's Storage Bag upside down, he found that the large amount of Spirit Stones he expected did not pour out.

Instead, he only heard a "pat."

A large box fell out of the Storage Bag, along with a long Magic Sword and some daily necessities.

What remained were just a few scattered Spirit Stones!

Damn it, this guy had nothing on him, not even a single complete Spirit Stone.

This expectation was truly disappointing, the drop in anticipation was too great.

Unwillingly, he took the large box and opened it.

Instantly, he discovered 10 familiar individual boxes inside.

These were the boxes used at the auction to hold treasures.

This meant that the items inside were the auction items.

The lowest price for items at this auction was 1000 spirit stones. With 10 items here, the value is at least 10,000 spirit stones.

Instantly, an eager desire to open this small box surged. The small box was even emitting wisps of cold air.

This made him suddenly falter, and in the next moment, he was filled with ecstasy.

These should be the 10 'Ice Spirit Grass' that were auctioned. The number of boxes matches the quantity from the auction.

Previously, someone spent 9,000 spirit stones to bid for this second-grade low-tier spirit grass, which was also from the North Ice Plain.

He didn't know where the North Ice Plain was yet. It was said to be a place millions of miles away, but he would definitely need to understand the surrounding situation later. This way, it would be easier to acquire any cultivation resources in the vicinity.

Of course, the main reason he was so excited about the 'Ice Spirit Grass' was that it was something he had been longing for.

At the auction, he had wanted to bid.

But at that time, because it was in the open-air first-floor hall, he was afraid of attracting everyone's attention and being noticed, so he had to give up. If he hadn't given up, he might not have known how he died.

This 'Ice Spirit Grass' was something he needed, and for him, it was a crucial medicinal ingredient.

With this, he could truly cultivate the 'Fire Control Art', thereby laying a solid foundation for his family's artifact refining and alchemy industries, entering a virtuous cycle of development!

Being able to successfully cultivate the 'Fire Control Art' meant he could harness the Earth Vein Fire, which could then be used for alchemy and artifact refining.

Of course, it also allowed him to cultivate the newly acquired Blazing Flame Art. This also made him understand why Xiao Wanchang was so persistent in chasing the Zhuge Man.

He was also after this 'Ice Spirit Grass'!

He hadn't expected that in the end, he, the 'fisherman', would get it. This was truly fate playing tricks on people.

If it weren't for this Xiao Wanchang, he wouldn't have pursued him so relentlessly. He never expected to obtain what he truly desired this time.

No wonder the man's Storage Bag didn't contain much of value. It turned out all his possessions were used to bid for the 'Ice Spirit Grass'!

He just didn't know what the Zhuge Man needed the 'Ice Spirit Grass' for, but that wasn't his concern anymore.

He immediately opened it to verify. Upon touching the small box, a bone-chilling coldness seeped into his palm.

He quickly opened it, and a verdant 'Ice Spirit Grass' appeared inside the small box, releasing an icy, refreshing fragrance.

Fearing that the medicinal properties of the grass would dissipate, he quickly closed the box again.

The coldness within the space then weakened considerably.

Seeing this, he also closed the larger outer box, and the coldness disappeared.

He then immediately threw the large box into his Storage Ring.

After tidying everything up, he felt completely invigorated.

After tidying everything up, he glanced at the pile of daily necessities and clothes in the cave.

With nothing left behind, he left immediately. He disliked using things that others had used and had no such inclinations.

Then, he turned and left the cave. Of course, before leaving, he used his divine sense to activate a "Concealment 2 Hours" status.

Instantly, he became completely invisible. After all, he was still in the wilderness, and he always kept the saying "caution makes for a thousand years" in mind.

It was mainly about his own life, so he had to be as careful as possible.

He carefully crawled out of the cave and soon arrived at the small path at the foot of the mountain.

Just then, from afar, he sensed a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the mountain ridge behind him, flying towards this direction.

Needless to say, it must be a big shot.

Before he could react, a fiery red figure appeared in the mountain hollow, coming from the forest. He felt the other party was flying directly towards his direction.

Accompanied by a powerful Foundation Establishment aura, it was extremely similar to the aura that appeared at the auction.

Instantly, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his legs trembling.

Fortunately, last time at the auction, he was only at Qi Refining Layer Four, which was why his reaction was so poor.

Now that he was already at Qi Refining Layer 5, he didn't collapse instantly. It was indeed good that his realm had improved.

However, he was still startled by the other party. Had the other party discovered him?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.

If he had really been discovered by the other party, he would surely be dead.

He didn't dare to move at all, like a wooden statue. His entire body blended with the surrounding thorny bushes.

The other party's figure grew larger and larger, and soon arrived not far in front of him.

The saplings and flowers and grass around seemed to have been plowed through. The immense shockwave had crushed the saplings and weeds on both sides.

The other party was flying rapidly towards him. Seeing that the trees and flowers were all flattened, he also followed suit and lay down beside the flowers.

As soon as he lay down, he suddenly smelled a familiar, pungent scent.

He immediately thought someone was releasing poison, but then he reconsidered. If the other party had discovered him, they wouldn't be releasing poison.

If they hadn't discovered him, they shouldn't be releasing poison either, as this was a desolate mountain area.

No one would release poison in such a place for no reason.

However, by the time he reacted, he looked forward with a face full of terror, his eyes staring blankly, not daring to move.

Because he saw the person in front of him, someone he was familiar with.

Moreover, the other party revealed a signature mark, which was that pair of huge 'weapons', completely disproportionate to her body. He wondered if she was tired from carrying such large things.

In an instant, he knew the person before him was Ouyang Tingting. He didn't know when this guy suddenly appeared here, or when she left Green Bamboo Peak. Was she here to kill him?

Thinking of this, he immediately felt numb and dared not move, for fear of being discovered by the other party. If she really came to kill him, he would be dead for sure at this moment.

Fortunately, this oppressive aura came and went quickly, and he immediately felt much more relaxed.

He immediately understood that this important figure must have flown away.

Just as he relaxed, he heard a loud noise.

Soil and rocks kept falling from the sky.

Accompanied by colorful clothes, they fell to the ground with a rustling sound.

The oppressive aura reappeared, and the red shadow appeared again. Ouyang Tingting flew out of the cave.

Extremely angry, her only favored, talented son whom she intended to nurture was just killed. How could she not be angry?

Her whole body trembled violently, especially that pair of 'weapons' trembled even more fiercely. The amplitude of the vibration was extremely large, flashing on and off, as if they were about to fall, but then quickly bounced back.

Lu Wanyuan saw many daily necessities and clothes floating everywhere in the air.

Seeing this situation, he immediately understood. It turned out that Ouyang Tingting had just entered his temporary cave, which caused the oppressive aura to disappear temporarily.

Because these daily necessities and clothes were very familiar at first glance. They were the messy things he had discarded in the cave and didn't want anymore.

Without even thinking, he guessed that Ouyang Tingting must have discovered Xiao Wanchang's death and came from Green Bamboo Peak.

She must have had some method connected to these items.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have known the exact location of his cave.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, he didn't want any of these things, otherwise he would have been dead.

Fortunately, his luck was still good. If he had been even a little later, and was inside the cave at this moment, or not far from the cave.

He definitely wouldn't have been able to escape her perception, and he would have been dead for sure. Even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't have been able to escape!

Fortunately, he was now far away from that cave, and at a distance. The key was that he was currently on a small path in this gully.

He blended in perfectly with the surrounding weeds, looking like a very ordinary scene. Because cultivators must have passed through such places along the way, he avoided her perception!

It was truly a stroke of luck. Perhaps this was just luck.

However, he had already secretly made up his mind. If he could return to the market safely this time, he would definitely not go anywhere else in the future. The outside world was too dangerous, too terrifying, and it really made his heart pound with anxiety.

The key was not knowing when unexpected events would occur.

Just like this time!

Especially for someone like him, a nobody, in this unpredictable world, he was like a tiny boat on the vast ocean, liable to be torn apart by the waves at any moment!

He immediately looked towards the mountaintop again, and as expected, the fiery red figure had disappeared from the summit.

Seeing this, he wanted to leave quickly. Damn it, he should stay as far away as possible from such important figures.

He could return to the Bayberry Market sooner!
