"Hey you, get out of my way!" An arrogant young man kicked aside the person in front of him and tried to force his way forward.
Just then, a semi-transparent blade of light suddenly erupted, falling heavily from the sky and slashing down at the young man's feet.
The terrifying force cleaved a Rift in the ground.
The young man was startled, then roared, "You're asking for death! Who did this? Step forward and show yourself!"
A boy carrying a knife walked out from behind.
Pointing the knife at the young man, he said coldly, "Get in line at the back!"
This young man was none other than Lin Fan.
"Do you even know who I am? How dare you make me stand in line? Believe me or not, with a single command from me, your Heaven and Earth Sect will be reduced to ashes."
"I don't believe you. This is your last warning. Get to the back of the line, or you're dead!"
"You..." The young man was about to say something when he was stopped by an old man behind him.
"Young friend, my Young Master is ignorant, please forgive him!" With that, the old man grabbed the young man's collar and started walking backward.
They went straight back to their original spot and queued up.
The young man was furious, but the next moment, he heard something the old man said to him Voice Transmission, and his expression changed from anger to astonishment, and then from astonishment to terror.
The Ninth Pin Spirit-Sealing Array actually only suppressed everyone's Spiritual Power, but their cultivation level remained the same; they just couldn't use Spiritual Power above the Qi Refining Stage, First Level.
Therefore, Voice Transmission is still possible.
Although he didn't know what the old man had said to him Voice Transmission, he must have recognized the Ninth Pin Ninth Pin Formation Formation what it represented.
" Lin Fan, you're awesome!" Ye Cheng gave Lin Fan a thumbs-up in praise as he saw Lin Fan return.
"The sect leader said he wouldn't tolerate anyone, and would deal harshly with anyone who dared to cause trouble!"
At the back of the crowd were a dozen or so figures whose entire bodies were covered by long black robes.
" Ninth Pin Formation! It seems the news about the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is true!" a hoarse voice rang out.
Strangely, his shrill and unpleasant voice was inaudible to those around him.
It seemed that their bodies were enveloped by some kind of energy.
They are interconnected, forming an independent Spiritual Power space.
This is why the conversation between these Black Robe could only be heard by themselves.
Those with strong Spiritual Sense will be able to Perception it.
This energy field that envelops them is alive and will constantly Changes shape as they move.
"Sect Master, why do you say that? According to the information I received from the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, this Ninth Pin Formation and the True Spirit Pill that appeared at this auction seem to have been provided by that Ling Yi!"
" Ling Yi's background must be extremely simple, perhaps not mysterious at all!"
"If there truly is a mysterious background, there's absolutely no way that West City be found out about it, that other cultivation sects couldn't find out, and that the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce couldn't find out."
"We can't find anything about the Song Family in the Inner Domain, and even our Myriad Insects Sect can't find anything. I absolutely do not believe that such a person exists."
Even if Ling Yi comes from outside the No Elements Domain, he will still leave Silk.
"Therefore, I conclude that Ling Yi is most likely a pawn placed in the open by the Heaven and Earth Sect to conceal the true value of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm."
After a pause, the man shook his head and said, "It's nothing but self-deception."
"However, I don't care what opportunities the Heaven and Earth Sect obtained from the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, but I must find out exactly how the Heaven and Earth Sect defeated the Demonic Insect."
"Otherwise, if this method gets out, my Wan Wudi plan, which has been in the works for thousands of years, might be ruined."
"But the Final Master, this Ninth Pin Formation severely suppresses our Spiritual Power; I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything!"
The leader, Black Robe, shook his head and chuckled, "I brought Immortal Insect with me!"
"However, let's wait and see how things develop!"
As time went on, more and more cultivators entered the market.
The cultivators who arrived were all of increasingly higher cultivation levels.
"Thirty-seven Nascent Soul Stage have arrived, mostly from other surrounding domains. Twelve cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage have also arrived, presumably from the Inner Domain. Among them are two Spirit Transformation Realm experts."
Inside the Myriad Treasures Tower, Qian Youcai was reporting the situation to Ling Yi.
Qian Youcai the control array flags of the Ninth Pin Formation in the market, and has already Refinement the array flags. Therefore, no cultivator who enters the market can escape his detection.
"Just proceed with the normal auction, ignore everything else!" Ling Yi nodded.
In fact, there was no need for Qian Youcai to report; Ling Yi knew Qian Youcai.
Qian Youcai could only Perception the situation of these cultivators through the Ninth Pin Formation, while Ling Yi had already planted Spirit Gu Clone in their bodies.
Yes, as soon as these people enter the market, they will be silently implanted with a Spirit Gu Clone, without exception.
Ling Yi can remain unmoved by these Spirit Gu Clone, but he must keep them under his control.
Want to stir up trouble?
From the moment they entered the market, they had no chance to cause any trouble.
This includes Wan Wudi, the leader of the Ten Myriad Insects Sect.
If Ling Yi wanted to, he could easily control these people in an instant.
They even completely controlled these monks.
The Myriad Insects Sect secretly orchestrates the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm using the eggs of Demonic Insect, and Ling Yi can naturally use his Spirit Gu Clone to subtly control it from the opposite direction.
However, Ling Yi's purpose in releasing the Spirit Gu Clone was not to gain control, but simply to prepare for the future.
As long as these people don't cause trouble, the Spirit Gu Clone is essentially non-existent.
But if they cause trouble, then don't blame Ling Yi for being unethical.
Of course, Ling Yi didn't tell Qian Youcai about the Spirit Gu Clone, or rather, no one knew about it except himself.
This includes Xiao Ruyan and Zhang Yunya.
The auction was held as scheduled.
The process went surprisingly smoothly.
Whether it's Supreme-Grade True Spirit Pill, Teleport Array flags provided by Ling Yi, high-grade Spirit Treasure, or talismans!
They all fetched astronomical prices.
The Low-Grade Spirit Stone alone brought Ling Yi nearly 15 billion in revenue.
For most cultivators, 15 billion is indeed an astronomical sum.
But for Ling Yi now, this amount of Spirit Stone could no longer cause him any ripples.
Having more Spirit Stone is just a bunch of numbers.
Ling Yi immediately gifted Zhang Yunya the 15 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stone, returning them three times over with a ten-thousand-fold return.
One hundred and fifty billion Low-Grade Spirit Stone were transformed into one billion High-Grade Spirit Stone.
One billion High-Grade Spirit Stone were returned three times by giving gifts to Ruyan, and the one billion High-Grade Spirit Stone turned into one hundred million Immortal Crystal.
This is equivalent to the fact that the more return targets you bind, the more times you can return the same item consecutively.
Since the original technique could only be returned once, now with the addition of Little Ruyan, it can be returned twice consecutively.
Ling Yi could only get Spirit Stone, pills, magic weapons, Formation, and other items back from Zhang Yunya three times before, but now he can get them back from Xiao Ruyan three more times.
During this period, Ling Yi gave Zhang Yunya and Xiao Ruyan quite a few gifts.
This continuous return was even a little numbing to Ling Yi himself.
Putting aside other things, take this Dharma Artifact for example.
An ordinary Dharma Artifact, after being returned three times by Zhang Yunya, became Supreme Pin Spirit Treasure. Then, by gifting Xiao Ruyan, it was returned three more times.
Supreme Pin Spirit Treasure becomes Immortal Artifact.
Ling Yi's current system inventory is overflowing with all kinds of resources, and they are all high-end items.
The wealth he currently possesses is probably something that even the most powerful cultivation sects in the Inner Domain couldn't Ling Yi.
One week after the auction.
In the servants' quarters, in Ling Yi's small courtyard, Ling Yi looked at the group of Black Robe before him, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.
"You're quite the genius! You actually managed to cultivate Demonic Insect using Immortal Crystal, and you actually succeeded!"
This Wan Wudi is not only the sixth most powerful Old Liu in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but also an absolute genius.
The Demonic Insect he cultivated could not only be silently implanted into the souls of others, but he also cultivated higher-level Demonic Insect.
Or rather, this is no longer a Gu worm, but Immortal Insect.
What are Immortal Crystal?
Immortal Crystal are Spirit Stone that contain the Immortal Spiritual Power.
Immortal Spiritual Power is a level higher than Spiritual Power, and it does not exist in the Five Elements Domain.
The Five Elements Domain is the collective name for the current seventy-five Outer Domain plus the five elemental domains of the Inner Domain.
Beyond the Five Elements Domain, there are many other major cultivation domains.
This shows just how vast the Immortal Cultivation Realm truly is.
Connected to the Five Elements Domain is the BeiDou Domain, but the only way to reach the BeiDou Domain is through Teleport Array.
There is no other way.
Of course, if one reaches the Immortal Venerable Realm, one can also traverse the endless starry sky and travel to other great domains.
There are no Immortal Crystal in the Five Elements Domain.
The immortal Immortal Crystal in Wan Wudi's possession all came from the BeiDou Domain.
In other words, there has always been interaction between the Five Elements Domain and the BeiDou Domain.
In this Immortal Cultivation Realm, there is no such thing as Ascension.
After Tribulation Transcendence, cultivators typically travel to the BeiDou Domain via an Inner Domain Teleport Array.
Only the BeiDou Domain possesses the Immortal Spirit Qi, and only the Immortal Spirit Qi can allow True Immortal who have Tribulation Transcendence to continue their cultivation and advance to higher levels.
Wan Wudi sighed, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Now, he has some regrets.
If he had left immediately after the auction, he wouldn't be in this predicament.
Or rather, if he had known how powerful Ling Yi, he wouldn't have been so suicidal as to cause trouble for Ling Yi or the Heaven and Earth Sect.
They would not use Immortal Insect.
Now, not only has the Immortal Insect been captured by Ling Yi, but he himself has also been controlled by Ling Yi.
He didn't even know when he was being controlled.
This feeling is just too frustrating.
What is this? A startup collapsing halfway through?
After thousands of years of hard work, just when he was about to control the Five Elements Domain, this guy came running over here, eager to hand over his entire fortune?
Feeling resentful, depressed, and suicidal – that's how this sixth Old Liu is feeling right now.
"What stage have you reached?" Ling Yi asked.
"The seventy-five Outer Domain have been basically controlled, and in the Five Domains Inner Domain domains, nearly half of the sects and cultivation families have been planted with Demonic Insect eggs," Wan Wudi answered honestly.
"Hmm, well done!" Ling Yi exclaimed.
But hearing Ling Yi's praise, Wan Wudi felt a pang of heartache.
After thousands of years of hard work, I've only ended up benefiting others. My family, who the hell understands this feeling!
"From now on, you'll just stay here and be an elder in the Heaven and Earth Sect!"
"Yes, young master!"
Ling Yi then looked at the Second Elder Zhang Yunyang.
Like Wan Wudi, Zhang Yunyang was also feeling a bit mentally broken at this moment, but he didn't feel any resentment.
" Qian Youcai your full support in becoming the chairman. If you do a good job, it's not impossible for you to take over the Song Family in the future."
"Yes, young master!"
