Five Elements Escape Technique! Plant Auction House!

Soul Masters cultivated themselves.

Strength, secret techniques, and wealth—none could be lacking.

Li Fei had already initially gained the strength of a Soul Grandmaster. He could not rapidly improve any further in a short time, and he was not particularly short on money either.

As for secret techniques, he also had several Self-Created Soul Skills.

"Right, I'm lacking a secret technique for escaping."

"Perhaps I can draw on some novels and anime from my previous life and develop a secret technique specifically for fleeing."

"Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique?"

"No, that thing is too difficult. It would waste time, and I have no clue where to begin..."

"Water Escape? Fire Escape? Metal Escape? Wood Release? Earth Escape?"

"In this world, there is no shortage of earth. All land is related to soil... Willow Branch can burrow beneath the ground..."

In the Back Mountain Forest of Plant Academy.

Inside the Mongolian Yurt formed by the Jianmu Technique, lush Willow Trees draped down, radiating a faint green glow. They absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, channeling it into his body and converting it into Soul Power for cultivation.

Li Fei sat cross-legged, becoming the final recipient of this power.

Within his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck, he continuously deduced the Five Elements Escape Technique.

If he flew through the sky, there was a chance he would be shot down by high-level Soul Masters.

He would not consider that for now.

In comparison, burrowing deep underground was safer. At the very least, layers of earth were a natural protective barrier. Even if Gods from the God Realm came, they could not possibly blast all the way through.

Therefore, Earth Escape was safer than flying through the sky.

Even Water Escape was inferior to Earth Escape.

That was because there were far too many powerful Sea Soul Beasts underwater.

If he ever fell into the sea and was surrounded and killed by a massive group of Sea Soul Beasts, it would be GG.

And there was certainly no shortage of earth in the sea.

Earth naturally included stones, rock strata, and so on.

This was the essence of Gou Dao!

Mastering the Five Elements Escape Technique would make him more well-rounded.

With Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck, he could fully multitask. It was extremely convenient.

If anyone else tried this, they would have long since suffered qi deviation.

Thus, time passed bit by bit.

At night, a crescent moon hung in the sky.

The evening breeze drifted softly.

The women could not find any trace of Li Fei in the dormitory.

After asking around, they learned that Li Fei had entered the Back Mountain Forest that morning and had not emerged since.

So they entered the area to search for him.

"He hasn't come out since daytime. Could something have happened to him?"

Xiao An spoke worriedly from among the group.

"Why would a normal person refuse to stay in a perfectly good dormitory and insist on coming into the forest? There isn't even anyone here."

"He probably came here to cultivate..."

"The academy has high-level Simulation Training Rooms that can simulate all kinds of environments. Why not train in one of those instead of coming here?"

The women discussed the matter, becoming even more puzzled.

They followed a small path deeper inside.

Soon, they discovered a Mongolian Yurt in the middle of the forest.

"What is this? Since when did the Back Mountain Forest have this?" The other six women raised a question from the depths of their souls.

"This is... Li Fei must be inside!"

"He definitely made this! When he saved me before, he used his martial soul to make something like this in the wilderness!"

"He said it was called a Mongolian Yurt!"

Enjing spoke in delight.

She could not forget this peculiar structure. It was far too recognizable.

"Looking closely, the ground around it is covered in Willow Branches. He should be cultivating here."

Enjing lowered her head and looked at the Willow Branches on the surrounding ground, which emitted a faint green glow, further confirming her guess.

Crack!

The next second, the wooden door of the Mongolian Yurt opened.

Li Fei, who had finished cultivating, walked out from inside.

He had originally intended to keep cultivating, but then he remembered that he had an evening appointment with Enjing, so he ended his training.

He was also greatly looking forward to the auction in Plant City.

Perhaps he might acquire something useful to him.

"You're all here?"

"Sorry, I was cultivating just now and nearly forgot about it. I even made you come all this way."

Li Fei spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"It's no trouble. The auction hasn't started yet. We came to find you early because we planned to go out for a meal, stroll around the streets, and then head in." Enjing said, blushing.

Under the night sky, the six women behind her were blushing as well.

Li Fei did not notice this.

"Alright. I'm hungry too. I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Li Fei said with a smile.

"How can we let you treat us? You saved us outside the city, and we haven't even properly thanked you yet..." Enjing and the others became anxious.

"It's fine. I'm a teacher at Plant Academy now, and I receive quite a generous salary every month. Let's go."

Li Fei spoke without concern.

"Li Fei, why do you cultivate here instead of using the academy's Simulation Training Room?"

As they walked, Enjing asked curiously.

"Because being close to nature is better than a simulated cultivation environment. We are Plant Type Soul Masters, and our Soul Power attributes are primarily wood element. A natural great forest is the Holy Land for our Plant Type cultivation. If my strength were not so low, I would love to cultivate in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Li Fei answered patiently as he walked.

"Then can we cultivate together with you in the future?" Xiao An asked impatiently.

The other women also revealed expectant expressions.

"I don't like being disturbed while cultivating," Li Fei said.

"It's fine. You can make a small Mongolian Yurt beside yours for us. We'll cultivate inside and definitely won't disturb you," Enjing immediately said.

"Mhm, mhm, we definitely won't disturb you!" The other girls immediately nodded.

"Alright. We'll talk about it after we get back." Li Fei nodded.

"Yay, that's great."

The women were all excited.

Their intuition told them that cultivating with Li Fei might bring unexpected results.

Within Plant City, faint green light shone and illuminated the entire city.

These plants were not merely for decoration. They had another function: during the day, they photosynthesized and stored light energy, which they released at night to illuminate the city.

If there was a rainy or cloudy day without sunlight, then the city would only be dark at night.

Everyone was accustomed to this. Without lighting, aside from Guards, no one would come out to stroll around.

However, some special central areas used modern lighting technology.

The location of Plant Academy was precisely one such central area.

After they emerged, the combined illumination of the two kinds of light made the surroundings even brighter.

Ever since coming to Plant City, Li Fei had been cultivating and had yet to properly explore the place.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to take in the city's lively atmosphere.

As expected of the central district, there was a huge flow of people. Hawkers called out, shops stood open, and the scent of food wafted through the air. The scene was exceptionally harmonious.

Li Fei and the women ate as they strolled.

After eating their fill, they arrived at Plant City's only auction house—the Plant Auction House!

It had been established through investment by Plant City. It collected treasures and resources from all over for auction, while also accepting commissioned auction services.

Even though it had only just begun, the place was already nearly full.

Those who came were not only locals from Plant City, but also wealthy merchants, rich magnates, military and political figures, and nobles from outside the city.

The one thing these people did not lack was money.
