The auction ended before it even started.
The reason was that someone forcibly snatched their storage rings in front of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce deacon and Ouyang Yin.
Naturally, they also stole the auction items from the storage ring.
This greatly disappointed many cultivators who came to Mist Market.
The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce had already announced that there would be ten Foundation Establishment Pill for auction at this event.
Foundation Establishment Pill is an essential elixir for cultivators breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm.
It is of extraordinary value and cannot be bought with money.
This is especially true for those small sects or independent practitioners.
There are very few ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pill.
Auctions are undoubtedly one of the ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pill.
Can individual cultivators afford Foundation Establishment Pill?
That's not a problem. Individual cultivators and practitioners aren't without their own power; they also have organizations, teams, and Alliance.
For independent cultivators to protect their own interests and for better growth, forming alliances is inevitable.
For example, this Foundation Establishment Pill was purchased jointly by everyone; how it was distributed was a matter for later.
This time, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce was able to provide ten Foundation Establishment Pill at once.
That's a huge investment.
This naturally attracted a large number of cultivators.
The huge market, capable of holding hundreds of thousands of people, has been bustling with activity these past few days, just like a real market day.
However, suddenly they heard that the auctioned goods had been stolen, and the market's grand formation was activated. In order to find the thieves, they were only allowed to enter, not leave.
This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many cultivators.
Fortunately, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce has a great reputation, so although they were dissatisfied, it was the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce's order.
Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it.
However, this situation cannot last long.
In order to catch the thief as soon as possible, the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and the shopkeeper jointly issued a reward notice.
Whoever catches the thief will receive a reward of one million Low-Grade Spirit Stone and a Qingyun Card from the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.
The Qingyun Card is essentially a VIP card when activated.
You get discounts on purchases, no handling fees for auctioned items, and priority purchase rights for auctioned items.
For the vast majority of cultivators, a Qingyun Card is no less valuable than a top-tier magic weapon.
However, the reward offered seemed to have angered the thief.
In just one day, more than a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had their storage rings or storage bags stolen.
Well, to be precise, it was stolen.
However, we don't know who stole it or how it was stolen.
The typical process of being robbed is as follows: first, you hear someone the Snap, then your mind goes blank for a moment, and when you come to your senses, your storage ring or storage bag is gone.
That's not the point. The point is that the brand on the storage ring or storage bag was erased the moment it was stolen.
It's important to understand that to forcibly erase someone's Spiritual Sense imprint on a storage ring or storage bag, one's cultivation level must be at least two major realms higher.
In other words, that thief was at least a Nascent Soul Realm expert?
However, many others believe that the other party is definitely not at the Nascent Soul Realm; if they were Nascent Soul Realm expert, why would they need to go through all this trouble?
If you simply reveal your cultivation level and shout "Robbery!", who would dare to resist?
Therefore, this thief must possess some secret technique.
Rumors spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outlandish with each passing whim.
Within a few days, people's attention shifted from the cultivation supplies stolen by the thief to the thief's inheritance or magical artifacts.
But all of this was destined to be in vain.
Ling Yi Ignore Rule.
It's right beside you, you can see it, yet you act as if you don't see it.
So, what about the Protagonist Ye Chen?
Ye Chen has been diligently cultivating for the past month or so.
Although Ling Yi reclaimed ninety percent of his cultivation, he still managed to barely reach the third level.
At the third level, one can grasp the Element Power.
This is also the time when the God Ling Method can unleash its true power.
However, Ye Chen did not cultivate tonight. Instead, he dressed in black and masked his face and quietly left the courtyard.
After Ye Chen left, Ling Yi's figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
"What's this kid up to so late?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
Then, his figure vanished from the spot, catching up with Ye Chen.
About half an hour later, Ye Chen arrived at the backyard of a shop called Miscellaneous Treasures Pavilion.
He pulled out a talisman from somewhere and gestured on it a couple of times.
The talisman transformed into a stream of light and flew into the courtyard.
After a few minutes, a light footstep sound came from nearby.
The back gate was opened.
Then, a pretty figure peeked out, and upon seeing Ye Chen, exclaimed with delight, "Brother Ye Chen!"
Then, he pulled Ye Chen into the courtyard.
The woman was very pretty, Linglong and cute.
But judging from her attire, she seems to be a maid!
For the next two days, Ye Chen did not return to the courtyard.
It wasn't until the third day that Ye Chen returned to the courtyard, his face beaming with excitement.
Just then, they saw Ling Yi pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking anxious.
Upon seeing Ye Chen return, Ling Yi rushed over, his face filled with excitement, and said, " Young Master, where have you been? I was so worried about you."
"I have my own things to do, that's not your place to ask," Ye Chen said calmly.
Oh ho, so you think you're all set, huh?
Ling Yi felt disdain.
But his expression was extremely respectful. "Yes, Young Master, I overstepped my bounds. It's good that you're alright, Young Master."
This is someone you're taking the blame for, so let's appease them for now!
Ye Chen was very satisfied with Ling Yi's attitude.
"Get Young Master some good wine and food. I'm in a good mood today, I need to celebrate."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Ling Yi turned and left the courtyard.
After leaving the courtyard, Ling Yi frowned.
"Is this Protagonist on the path to becoming a villain? Even in my previous life, I at least had some principles."
What has Ye Chen been doing these past three days?
First, the little maid was Masai, and then the first two levels of the God Ling Method were taught to her.
In just two days, the little maid had cultivated the God Ling Method to the second level.
But Ye Chen was not upset at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.
Because Ye Chen discovered that he could actually absorb the maid's cultivation level.
Then, the maid died.
After Ye Chen absorbed his cultivation, he was mercilessly slapped to death.
Ye Chen did this not because he was worried about the God Ling Method being spread, but because he was worried about the fact that he could devour the cultivation of others being spread.
Therefore, even though this maid was deeply in love with him, Ye Chen still killed her.
Is this the Protagonist? Or is this the villain?
Yes, the kind of villain who is genuinely villainous, not someone who uses the guise of a villain but is actually defined as a villain simply because they are the Protagonist's enemy.
"So, having tasted success, what will Ye Chen do next?"
Ling Yi felt a sense of anticipation.
Furthermore, Ye Chen was also able to reclaim the cultivation power of the God Ling Method.
This should be a new feature brought about by the upgrade of the Destiny System.
Ling Yi named it " Direct-Sales-Style Recovery ".
Ye Chen is a first-class leek, and there are second-class, third-class, and fourth-class leeks after him.
The best quality chives can only be recycled into the next quality chives.
However, the specific details still need to be verified.
Of course, Ye Chen would verify it himself without Ling Yi's need for verification.
Sure enough, Ye Chen became busy over the next few months.
I go out every night.
However, Ye Chen acted very carefully and cautiously.
The God Ling Method was not widely disseminated.
He feared that making too much noise would attract the attention of powerful figures.
After all, this God Ling Method is far too evil, even more so than Magic Cultivation Magic Cultivation techniques.
Therefore, Ye Chen specifically sought out ordinary people to teach him.
After the opponent has cultivated for three to five days, their cultivation will be directly reclaimed, and they will be killed.
No matter how careful Ye Chen was, the death of someone was still no small matter.
Ye Chen was ultimately targeted.
However, at this time, Ye Chen had already reached the fifth level of the God Ling Method, and was no longer an ordinary person without any cultivation.
That infamous good-for-nothing Young Master.
