Shi Tianyang and Shi Tianyao nodded, seeming to understand but not quite, then continued studying.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the auction held by the Immortal Herb Palace came to an end. Shi Yue was no longer what he had once been; he no longer needed to handle everything personally. He could stay behind the scenes and direct the overall situation.
At the Sacred Void Palace, Shi Yue was talking with Xiaoyaozi.
"You got a bottle of Heaven Swallowing Rat Essence Blood?" Shi Yue asked in surprise.
Ordinary things were useless to Xiaoyaozi, but Heaven Swallowing Rat Essence Blood was different. Shi Yue hadn't expected any to exist in the Cultivation World.
Xiaoyaozi nodded excitedly. "That's right! I didn't expect someone to put a bottle of Heaven Swallowing Rat Essence Blood up for trade at this auction. That person even thought it was the Essence Blood of an ordinary Sacred Beast. Ha ha, the old man got himself a bargain. Refining this Essence Blood will greatly benefit my cultivation."
The Immortal Herb Palace's influence was growing, making it easier and easier to gather rare Cultivation Resources. Xiaoyaozi was benefiting from it too.
"That's good news. Once you refine the Heaven Swallowing Rat Essence Blood, your strength will increase tremendously," Shi Yue said warmly.
"Mm. I plan to go into seclusion for a while. If the Devil Race makes trouble while I'm away and you can't handle it, notify me," Xiaoyaozi cautioned.
Shi Yue smiled calmly, brimming with confidence. "Go into seclusion without worry. I can handle things. Besides, I doubt the Devil Race would dare make trouble."
Xiaoyaozi nodded. After chatting for a while, he headed toward a Training Room.
Shi Yue stretched and walked outside. He wanted to spend some time with his children.
