The Endless Sea Domain is boundless, and in its center, Transformation Great Demon may appear.

Lu Qing Ling maneuvered the Treasure Ship at high speed, leaving trails of water as it broke through the waves. Behind the Treasure Ship, a dark figure slipped in, keeping its distance.

Inside the Treasure Ship, Jiang Shu sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his powerful spiritual energy constantly impacting Profound Water True Person's Storage Bag.

In fact, inside the secret chamber, after killing Profound Water True Person, he could have tried to open the Storage Bag.

However, since this inheritance was discovered by Lu Qing Ling, she would need to ask for Lu Qingling's opinion if she wanted to unlock it.

He is no longer the frog in the well who was still in the Great Jing Dynasty.

Profound Water True Person's Storage Bag may contain a lot of resources, but given enough time, he can still search for them.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I just took a look. There are about ten divine abilities in the Divine Mystical Power Great Elixir of Profound Water True Person, which are what I need. I'm not in a hurry to cultivate here. I've only just entered the late stage of the Furnace Fire Realm and I still need a long time to hone my realm."

"Senior Brother Jiang, you can take this Mystical Power Great Elixir Spirit Transformation for now."

Having understood all thirty-odd supernatural abilities contained in the Mystical Power Great Elixir, Lu Qing Ling placed the Mystical Power Great Elixir beside Jiang Shu and began to speak.

The Mystical Power Great Elixir of Divine Power do not necessarily need to be refined.

For cultivators at the Furnace Fire Realm, more supernatural abilities are not necessarily better; what's needed is a systematic approach. For example, the Origin Core of a major sect disciple often utilizes various combinations to create an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

But it's different for Rogue Cultivator Rogue Cultivator. The methods they obtain are often scattered and unsystematic, so their supernatural powers are either scarce and useless, or numerous and chaotic.

Profound Water True Person belongs to the latter category.

Of course, being able to advance to the mid-stage of the Essence Core Realm and establish a formidable reputation among those in the same realm, Profound Water True Person's Mystical Power Great Elixir was certainly not without merit.

Among the two Earth Rank divine abilities and the remaining thirty-odd Spirit Rank divine abilities, many are extremely useful in the Endless Sea Domain, although their usefulness lies in escaping and saving lives.

"Are we almost at Overturning Sea City?"

With a flick of his wrist, he stored the Mystical Power Great Elixir in his Storage Bag. Jiang Shu opened his eyes and met a pair of bright, clear eyes.

"Um."

Lu Qing Ling lowered her head, her gaze meeting briefly before looking away. "Senior Brother Jiang, do you have enough Pure Essence Pill or Origin Crystal? I have some here..."

Earth Rank Beast Taming Pouch is equivalent in price to a regular Earth Rank Treasure Artifact. Even if a cultivator at the Furnace Fire Realm were to sell everything they own, they still couldn't afford it.

However, Lu Qingling was clearly not an ordinary cultivator at the Furnace Realm. Her foundation was profound, completely comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm disciples of some sects.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Lu again."

Jiang Shu nodded in agreement. The resources he had were basically used as his cultivation supplies. Whether it was Pure Essence Pill or Origin Crystal, he used them to help his cultivation as soon as possible.

The Pure Essence Pill that Nether Lightning True Person had so confidently claimed could guarantee cultivation to the Essence Core Realm had long since been exhausted. What Jiang Shu was using now were resources from the disciples of the Dao One Sect.

He aims to establish an unparalleled foundation for the Dao by entering the First Layer of the Furnace Fire Realm through martial arts.

"How could that be? Senior Brother Jiang saved Junior Sister's life this time. If Junior Sister were to go and inherit the legacy, she would probably be immediately captivated by Profound Water True Person's spiritual power and wouldn't even be able to use the Great Shift Talisman."

Lu Qing Ling smiled brightly, and she and Jiang Shu addressed each other by their own names, which seemed quite natural.

Fifteen minutes later.

The Treasure Ship slowed down more and more, and finally two figures leaped out from it. The Treasure Ship was then put into Lu Qing Ling's Storage Bag.

Overturning Sea City is located on the edge of Endless Sea Domain, with countless resources. You can buy all sorts of rare and precious treasures there.

Wan Hai Treasure Market, in particular, is extremely famous even in the Vast Desolate Domain.

Countless powerful cultivators and Rogue Cultivator from the sea are trading various resources here.

"Although Overturning Sea City is just a city, countless forces are entrenched within it. Disciples of major sects conceal their identities and train here; there are also remnants of the former demonic path hiding here, accumulating strength."

"Of course, our True Martial Sect also has its own forces stationed in Overturning Sea City. However, we concealed our identities this time, so it's inconvenient for us to go. In the future, if Senior Brother Jiang comes alone, you can make contact with them and learn a lot of information."

As Lu Qing Ling led Jiang Shu into Wan Hai Treasure Market, she introduced the Wan Hai Treasure Market to Jiang Shu at a steady pace.

For any power to develop, it cannot do without resources.

The resources of Overturning Sea City come from Wan Hai Treasure Market. All transactions within the city require the payment of a substantial tax, enough to equip the soldiers of Overturning Sea City.

The streets, paved with white stones, were spotless. On both sides of the streets stood countless shops, each one resplendent in gold and jade, like a huge Imperial Palace or manor.

"In Wan Hai Treasure Market, all kinds of businesses exist. The larger the shop, the higher the premium on the treasures inside, but the more guaranteed their authenticity. On the other hand, some smaller shops may have lower prices for their treasures, but they often have all sorts of problems."

Cultivators came and went, weaving through the crowds. In the air, there were even Essence Core Realm True Person flying high above. Occasionally, someone would land in front of a shop and be immediately greeted by the maids at the door, who would kneel down and welcome them inside.

As Lu Qing Ling walked straight ahead, Jiang Shu remained silent, taking in everything with his discerning gaze.

Of the four elements —Dharma, Wealth, Companions, and Land— wealth is the first element once the law is in place.

He was only at the Furnace Fire Realm, yet the amount of cultivation resources he could obtain in a single day was enough to make many cultivators gasp. If the Furnace Fire was this powerful, one can only imagine how much more powerful those at the Origin Core, Nirvana, and even the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm, which is beyond Nirvana.

To maintain his daily cultivation, Myriad Manifestations Dao Lord must amass great wealth. It is likely that the majority of the taxes collected in Wan Hai Treasure Market come from Myriad Manifestations Dao Lord.

If one is merely a cultivator from the Vast Desolate Domain, the only way to steadily improve one's cultivation level is to either establish one's own power, like Overturning Sea City, and collect large amounts of taxes.

Alternatively, one can become True Disciple of the sect and enjoy the vast resources provided by the sect.

"This is the Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion."

Lu Qing Ling's cold voice rang in Jiang Shu's ears. Unbeknownst to them, the two of them had already arrived in the central area of Wan Hai Treasure Market.

A shophouse, six stories high, stretched for miles. It was resplendent in gold and paved with jade.

At the very top, there is a huge plaque that reads: Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion.

Dragons and phoenixes dance, displaying a myriad of magnificent forms, possessing an aura of dominance encompassing heaven and earth.

Beneath the plaque, the guards at the entrance were all at the Rebirth Realm, radiating spiritual power that intimidated some martial artists who had not yet entered the Dao.

"This is the territory of Overturning Sea Dao Lord in Overturning Sea City. Although the prices of the treasures inside are basically the highest in the Wan Hai Treasure Market, with Dao Lord's reputation as a guarantee, there are basically no damaged or counterfeit items inside."

"Beast Taming Pouch are relatively rare Treasure Artifact, and some unscrupulous merchants inevitably re-forge damaged Beast Taming Pouch and sell them as new. Although we are disciples of a sect, our main focus is on cultivation. Whether it is weapon crafting or pill refining, our skills are not lacking, so it is easy for us to be deceived."

"It's better to spend a little more and buy it here."

As she explained in a low voice, Lu Qing Ling exuded the aura of someone at the Furnace Fire Realm, with True Fire burning fiercely. The guards at the door immediately bowed their heads respectfully.

"I wonder when the Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion auction will be held this year? I've heard that Overturning Sea Dao Lord came out of seclusion this time, he killed several Transformation Great Demon in the Endless Sea Domain and refined several Heaven Rank Treasure Artifact. I wonder if I'll have the fortuitous opportunity to bid on them this time."

"Heaven Rank Treasure Artifact are priceless and hard to find, so even disciples from various sects come here. This time, quite a few disciples from the Dao One Sect have come. However, I seem to have heard that the Dao One Sect disciples are currently dealing with a troublesome matter. Several of their Outer Sect Disciple have gone missing and they cannot be contacted."

"I've also heard that an inner disciple has issued a reward, offering Pure Essence Pill and Origin Crystal to anyone who saw Outer Sect Disciple Zhang Shangqing and the others at the time."

"What a pity. The Endless Sea Domain is vast. Who can find it? It might just die inside the belly of Demon Beast."

Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion, many Rogue Cultivator tones, their lips gradually curving into pursed smiles.

Because of their desire to maintain their position as the leader of the righteous path, the disciples of the Dao One Sect act arrogantly Rogue Cultivator in public, so how could independent cultivators possibly have any goodwill towards them?

"The Dao One Sect is indeed hated by everyone."

Jiang Shu transmitted his thoughts to Lu Qing Ling's mind and then turned and went upstairs without any hesitation.

He listened to these sounds and then ignored them.

Although he was seriously injured in the battle with Zhang Shangqing and others, he handled the situation perfectly.

Apart from the cultivation resources of Pure Essence Pill Origin Crystal, almost everything else in the Storage Bag was thrown into the Endless Sea Domain.

The Storage Bag were all destroyed, for fear of leaving any trace.

If the person had been killed in a city, the inner disciple of the Dao One Sect might have been able to find out the truth. But in the Endless Sea Domain, who would know whether the killer was a cultivator or Demon Beast?

"Pfft, it's their fault too. Of all people to offend, they had to mess with our Senior Brother Jiang."

Lu Qing Ling pursed her lips and smiled brightly. In the Endless Sea Domain, she truly rediscovered Jiang Shu.

In terms of courage, he dared to kill Dao One Sect single-handedly.

In terms of strength, he was capable of turning the tables on Profound Water True Person, who had been plotting for thirty years to Body Seizing.

In terms of potential, with his Furnace Fire Realm cultivation, he could easily crush even Inner Core Realm Demon Beast.

In her current view, Jiang Shu, although not yet an inner disciple, has already surpassed many inner disciple by a wide margin. Once he advances to the Origin Core realm, he might even be able to climb onto the True Disciple Seed Ranking at an extremely rapid pace.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I just heard them say that there might be an auction going on. Should we participate?"

He followed Jiang Shu upstairs.

The first floor of the Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion mainly contains common magical Treasure Artifact used by martial artists, which are also valuable and are placed on the upper floors.

Soon, they arrived at the Third Layer.

"Let's not do it for now. Since the Dao One Sect disciples are searching, let's leave as soon as possible. We've already gained too much from this trip to the Endless Sea Domain."

Overturning Sea City is not one of the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities. It is home to countless powerful individuals, and the auctions held by the Wan Hai Treasure Pavilion are mostly attended by experts at the Essence Core Realm or even the Nirvana Realm.

Jiang Shu's level of cultivation was not only low in strength, but he was also extremely poor.

There's no need to take on extra risk by attending an auction where you're certain you won't buy anything.

Heaven Rank Treasure Artifact are incredibly precious; even the True Disciple of the True Martial Sect would be envious upon seeing them.

But this also shows that this is not something he can get his hands on now.

"Instead of thinking about Heaven Rank Treasure Artifact, I should refine a set of Natal Treasure Item that best suit me. I may seem to have unparalleled combat power now, but in reality, I rely too much on the physical and Mind Cultivation. I may be invincible among those of the same realm, but if I were to encounter an inner disciple of the Dao One Sect who wields Earth Rank Treasure Artifact, I would definitely be far inferior."

With a thought flashing through his mind, Jiang Shu did not rush to find the Earth Rank Storage Bag. Instead, he looked at the Treasure Artifact on the third floor to see if he could make up for the last weakness in his combat power.

Unfortunately, after going around in circles, the Treasure Artifact he saw were either too low in potential for growth or too expensive.

Even with her abundant resources, Lu Qing Ling's accumulated Pure Essence Pill and Origin Crystal are limited. Adding Treasure Artifact might even exceed her budget.

Without lingering any longer, Jiang Shu quickly took a liking to a Earth Rank Beast Taming Pouch and bought it after some haggling.

Without pausing, the two returned to the Endless Sea Domain, silently retrieved the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, and immediately used the teleportation array in Overturning Sea City to return to their sect.

"Senior Sister Lu, I've already opened this Storage Bag. You can check if there's Three-Legged Profound Water Star Refining Cauldron inside. You can also take this Mystical Power Great Elixir. I don't need it for now. Give it to me after you've refined the Divine Power."

True Martial Sect, outer sect.

Towering peaks rise, and enormous precious trees radiate wondrous light. A flock of Spirit Crane dances in the air.

As they parted, Jiang Shu handed over the Storage Bag.

"Thank you for protecting me all the way, Senior Brother Jiang... From now on, please don't call me Senior Sister anymore... just call me Qingling."

"Qingling will keep an eye on matters concerning the inner disciple, and will inform Senior Brother as soon as there is any news..."

After taking the Storage Bag, Lu Qing Ling disappeared without looking back, turning into a streak of light.

Clouds drifted by, and a gentle breeze blew.

Jiang Shu withdrew his gaze and first returned to his residence to rest for a few days. Then he had a small gathering with Xue Xuan and Luo Yu to learn about the latest developments in the sect.

He then took on a mission, left the sect again, and arrived at the Fifth City the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities.

In a remote area, I rented a cave abode.

Everything has been checked and inspected.

Looking down at the Earth Rank Beast Taming Pouch hanging at his waist, and sensing the Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, inside, Jiang Shu murmured to himself:

"If this succeeds, you will help me well on Xuanxing, and I will definitely help you enter the realm of Shape Shifting in the future."

"If you unfortunately perish, then it is because you have no fortuitous opportunity. Let fate decide your life and death."

Close your eyes slightly.

He spent a year in the Endless Sea Domain, devouring the soul of Profound Water True Person, Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, and obtaining Heaven Rank Cultivation Method and Earth Rank divine abilities—a truly fruitful haul.

If we encounter the Blood God's Thought Form again.

Even without using the Mystical Power Great Elixir, he could suppress and kill it.

It's time to go back and take a look.

The Panel appeared, and a thought flashed through my mind.

Two worlds, shuttling between them.
