Return to the Immortal City, Spending a Fortune
Taiyi Immortal City remains majestic as ever.
When Dongfang Yueming stood before this magnificent city gate once again, his state of mind was completely different.
Last time, he was a cautious newbie just entering the Central Domain.
And now...
He looked at the two Nascent Soul guards who were still diligently performing their duties, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
[Nascent Soul Guardian...]
[In retrospect, it's nothing special.]
He casually tossed out a thousand low-grade spirit stones and calmly walked into the city.
The two guards watched his retreating figure, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
"This kid... he looks kind of familiar?"
"Hmm, I've been here before. I didn't expect to come back alive. But... it's nothing special. In this Taiyi Immortal City, dragons have to coil up, and tigers have to lie low!"
Inside the city, the atmosphere remained bustling with activity.
A shifty-looking monk was searching for a "fat sheep".
His eyes lit up when his gaze fell on Dongfang Yueming!
[This kid's aura is restrained; he looks like a newbie who just arrived in the city...]
He was about to move closer when suddenly everything went blurry before his eyes!
The figure in green appeared before him in an instant, like a ghost!
"Ah!"
The man was terrified, his body drenched in cold sweat!
[What... what kind of speed is this?!]
However, Dongfang Yueming did not attack him, but simply tossed out a bag of spirit stones.
"Tell me, with a thousand spirit stones, where can I buy lightning-based Divine Ability?"
The man caught the spirit stone with trembling hands, staring at the heavy bag with disbelief in his eyes!
"Tai... Taiyi Auction House!" he stammered.
Thank you.
Dongfang Yueming nodded, and with a flicker, disappeared from the spot.
It wasn't until long after he left that the man felt himself come back to life, collapsing onto the ground and panting heavily.
This is... this is terrifying!
Taiyi Auction House.
A hot, beautiful waitress greeted us warmly.
"Young master, what would you like to order?"
The other waiter beside her secretly curled his lip, clearly not thinking that Dongfang Yueming was a wealthy man.
"Divine Ability," Dongfang Yueming said bluntly, "Lightning-based."
"This..." The waitress was taken aback, then smiled and explained, "Young master, Divine Ability are rare. Yellow Grade ones cost around tens of thousands of spirit stones, Profound Grade ones cost hundreds of thousands, and as for Earth Grade... those start at millions, and are extremely difficult to come by!"
"We happen to be holding an auction for Black-Grade Divine Ability, would you like to...?"
"No need." Dongfang Yueming waved his hand. "Give me four Yellow Grade lightning-type Divine Ability."
"Ah?"
The waitress was completely dumbfounded.
[Four... four Yellow Grade?]
[This young master... could he possibly have a collecting obsession?]
Not only her, but even her companion next to her looked at her with an expression of utter disbelief.
[I guess it was a steward from some minor sect who used public funds to make the purchase?]
Despite her doubts, the waitress quickly composed herself and respectfully led Dongfang Yueming to a VIP room.
A moment later, she came in carrying four exquisite jade boxes.
"Young master, these are the four Yellow Grade lightning-based divine Divine Ability you requested: ' Palm Lightning,' ' Lightning Flash Escape,' ' Thunderclap Roar,' and ' Lightning Summoning Art.'"
"A total of 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. Lightning-type Divine Ability are relatively rare, so the price is slightly higher."
Dongfang Yueming didn't even glance at it before tossing out a storage ring.
"Let's have a little."
The waitress took the ring, scanned it with her divine sense, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly!
[Three... three hundred thousand?!]
[They just took it out without even blinking?!]
The way she looked at Dongfang Yueming changed instantly!
This guy is no ordinary steward from a minor sect! He's clearly a hidden tycoon!
Dongfang Yueming ignored her shock and simply glanced at his own panel.

[Of the Divine Ability within the Wind God Domain, apart from the "Wind God Judgment," which is Heaven Grade, the others are all Earth Grade or even Yellow Grade...]
Since we're already here, why not... resolve this once and for all?
He looked up at the waitress and spoke again:
"By the way, do you guys... have any wind-based Divine Ability here?"
"The more the better."
The waitress paused slightly, then tentatively asked, "Sir, what specific type would you like?"
"Four movement techniques, three defensive techniques, and four healing techniques," Dongfang Yueming recited the list without hesitation.
"Hiss--!"
The waitress gasped, her beautiful eyes widening in shock!
[So much?!]
[And... it even possesses the rarest healing-type Divine Ability?!]
"Young master... are you sure?" She could hardly believe her ears.
Without wasting any words, Dongfang Yueming simply waved his hand.
"Splash--!"
A small mountain made of low-grade spirit stones instantly appeared in the room!
A full million!
The dazzling light almost blinded the waitress!
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
Her voice trembled with excitement!
This isn't a guest; this is clearly the God of Wealth!
She dared not delay in the slightest and hurriedly ran to report to her supervisor.
Fortunately, Dongfang Yueming only wanted Yellow-Grade Divine Ability. Although there were many of them, it wasn't a difficult task for the wealthy Taiyi Auction House.
A moment later, the waitress returned, panting, carrying a large pile of jade boxes.
"Young master, everything you requested is here."
As she spoke, she carefully opened each of the jade boxes.
"Would you... like to have it checked?"
Dongfang Yueming scanned the area with his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.
"Good."
The waitress finally breathed a long sigh of relief, a professional smile appearing on her face, "Young master, healing-type Divine Ability are relatively scarce, four of them cost a total of 350,000; defensive-type abilities cost 210,000; movement-type abilities cost 280,000. The total... 840,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Dongfang Yueming was about to pay when he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way," he looked at the waitress, "Do you have any techniques from the Sword Sect of the Sword Sect Immortal-Abandoned Continent here?"
