Lord of Bones

Chapter 749: Seeking the Spiritual Pearl
Although Li Yuan was unwilling in his heart, he knew that what Wei Moer said was true.

He sighed softly, as if compromising with his inner struggle:

"You are really an expert at making promises.

"Even though I knew it was a trick, I had no choice but to swallow it."

The road to sensing the heavenly calamity was already full of thorns for him.

Although the secret realm where Qianchi Palace refines Tianchi cannot directly help him sense the heavenly calamity, it can at least accumulate strength for him.

He guessed that Ling probably had never experienced the experience of sensing the heavenly calamity personally, so there was no such content in the memory left to him.

However, based on his experience of transcending the tribulation when he entered the Yuandan realm last time, the heavenly tribulation would become a shortcut for him to rapidly increase his cultivation.

However, how to sense the heavenly calamity this time may not be as easy as last time.

Perhaps it is really as Wei Moer said, it is basically impossible to survive the catastrophe before the end of one's life.

"So, you agree?" Wei Moer was slightly happy.

"Forget it, forget it." Li Yuan shook his head helplessly, his tone showing both compromise and relief. "Since you are so kind, how can I reject you?"

"Okay!" Wei Moer's eyes flashed with determination and expectation, "There is no time to lose. After I exchange the items I bought, I will go to find those people in Biqiu Village immediately."

Not long after, the middle-aged man from Xiaoyun Pavilion came over with a tray in his hand and steady steps.

On the tray were placed several treasures that Wei Moer had photographed, each of which exuded a faint glow and attracted attention.

Wei Moer carefully checked each item, and after confirming that they were correct, he readily paid the Yuanshi.

Then, she pulled Li Yuan and rushed out of the VIP room like two lightning bolts.

The next moment, the middle-aged man took out an exquisite jade slip and whispered, "The person who took the fragments has left."

From the other end of the jade slip, a low and cold voice came, as if it came from the depths of the underworld, with an irresistible majesty: "Can you find out their identities?"

The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, I am only responsible for transmitting information and I dare not go beyond the responsibility of investigation.

“Although the woman did not cover her face, it seemed that she was appearing for the first time in Lonely Sky City.

“The VIP token he holds is not his own, which makes it seem quite mysterious.

“As for the man, he was wrapped up tightly, obviously intending to hide his identity.

"However, since he can easily take out 500,000 Earth Element Stones, the power behind him must not be underestimated."

The voice in the jade slip suddenly sank, revealing an unconcealable coldness and murderous intent:
"Immediately send someone to follow them secretly and make sure to find out their details.

"He must know the extraordinary things about this film if he can spend a fortune to buy it."

"Yes, sir!" the middle-aged man responded.

After the jade slip calmed down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly left the VIP room.

.........

The streets were crowded with people, and Li Yuan and Wei Moer walked side by side.

Just after turning a corner, Li Yuan suddenly stopped, frowning slightly, as if he sensed something.

"What's wrong?" Wei Moer asked softly, while looking around vigilantly.

Li Yuan lowered his voice and said, "There's a tail following us, it should be the Yuanzhe from Xiaoyun Pavilion.

"This Guxiao City is indeed a deep water."

Upon hearing this, Wei Moer sneered and said, "Xiaoyun Pavilion is no longer as glorious as it once was.

“I just didn’t expect that now even the most basic integrity has been thrown out the window.

"There are still people who dare to entrust trust to a place like this."

Li Yuan chuckled, his eyes full of amusement: "As you said before, there are many chaos in Guxiao City, and the forces that can hold an auction of this scale are rare.

"Although Xiaoyun Pavilion is declining, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and its influence should not be underestimated."

A cold light flashed in Wei Moer's eyes, like the ice lurking beneath the surface of a lake in winter.

The energy in her body surged like a river bursting its banks, and every flow contained astonishing power.

Li Yuan's heart tightened when he saw this scene. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, he lowered his voice and said urgently:

"Our goal is that drop of unformed Primordial Essence. We should not create unnecessary trouble at this moment. A direct conflict with those Primordials will only increase the variables."

Upon hearing this, Wei Moer nodded slightly, then glanced around and finally locked onto a narrow and deep alley.

The light in the alley is dim, and the walls on both sides are mottled, revealing traces of time.

"Over there." Wei Moer opened her red lips slightly.

Before she finished her words, her figure turned into a shadow and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Li Yuan followed closely behind, and the two of them moved in perfect harmony, blending into one like shadows.

Not long after the two men disappeared, several furtive figures appeared at the entrance of the alley, with alert eyes, searching everywhere, but all they saw was a quiet and empty alley.

The leader frowned and waved his hand, and everyone quickly dispersed, like an invisible net, trying to capture the traces of the past.

"Humph, a mere ant, you dare to track me?"

A hint of disdain appeared on Wei Moer's lips.

With a slight movement of her body, the black robe instantly turned into a flowing white skirt. She wore a white gauze hat on her head and stood side by side with Li Yuan.

The two were dressed similarly, like brothers and sisters from the same school, and they skillfully blended into the bustling street.

The streets are bustling with people, the cries of vendors and the laughter of passers-by blend together, adding a bit of worldly atmosphere to this lonely city.

Wei Moer and Li Yuan shuttled among them, using the cover of the crowd to quietly collect information about Bi Qiu Village.

Soon, they learned that Bi Qiu Village had become the target of public criticism because it had successfully bid for the unformed Hunyuan Spirit Essence, and its whereabouts naturally became the focus of attention of all parties.

The strong men of Bi Qiu Village were obviously well aware of this. Instead of restraining themselves, they became even more flamboyant, strolling around the city with a swagger, as if announcing their victory to everyone.

However, the moment they stepped out of the gate of Guxiao City, something strange happened.

The strong man from Bi Qiu Village suddenly soared into the air, with the energy surging around him. He actually tore through the void and escaped into it, disappearing without a trace.

Li Yuan looked at the slowly closing void crack left by the strong men of Biqiu Village, raised his eyebrows and said, "They are well prepared. What should we do now?"

He looked around and found that apart from himself and Wei Moer, there were no other obvious pursuers. He added, "It seems that we are the only ones following them."

Wei Moer said firmly: "Those forces naturally have their own means of tracking, but mine is more direct."

After she finished speaking, she raised her jade hand lightly, and in her palm, a white bead the size of a goose egg slowly rose up, with a soft and mysterious luster flowing on it.

“This is the Marrow-Seeking Spiritual Pearl, which was specially made by the sect for searching for liquid treasures such as the Primordial Spiritual Marrow. It is extremely accurate.

"However, what they have in their hands is the unformed Primordial Spirit Essence, and its aura is relatively weaker, but it can still lock the approximate range."

After a brief explanation, Wei Moer gently threw the bead into the air. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and each seal was like the trajectory of a star, complex and beautiful.

Suddenly, a faint fluctuation of elemental energy filled the void.

As the hand seal was completed, the Marrow-Seeking Spirit Pearl suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and then turned into delicate energy ripples.

However, these ripples did not spread randomly. Instead, they seemed to have spirituality and pointed to a place that was completely different from the direction of Biqiu Village.

"Huh?" Wei Moer frowned slightly when she saw this. It was obvious that this result was beyond her expectations. "Could it be that they didn't return directly to Biqiu Village?"

Li Yuan asked thoughtfully, "Can this bead really track the Hunyuan Spiritual Essence accurately?"

"The Marrow-Seeking Spirit Pearl has never had any deviation when it comes to sensing liquid treasures from heaven and earth." Wei Moer's words revealed his absolute trust in the treasure.

Then, she explained, "Perhaps the Yuan practitioners in Biqiu Village did not intend to bring the spiritual essence back to the village, but had other plans."

Li Yuan nodded, a gleam in his eyes: "That's great.

"Our goal is the unformed drop of Primordial Spirit Essence. It is better than attacking Biqiu Village."

"In that case, let's chase in this direction." Wei Moer had complete faith in the ability of the Marrow-Seeking Spirit Pearl.

She raised her hand and waved it, and the marrow-seeking spirit bead turned into a stream of light and fell into her palm.

The next moment, the two of them suddenly rose up, like two meteors streaking across the sky, and flew quickly towards the distant direction where the marrow-seeking spirit bead was pointing.

.........

Above the dense and lush jungle, two streams of light were like silver arrows piercing the sky, suddenly piercing through the treetops and heading straight for the dark and dense forest below.

Once they entered the forest, their speed was slowed down as if by an invisible force slowly pulling the reins, and they hovered leisurely in the air several feet above the ground.

These two people were none other than Li Yuan and Wei Moer, who had been tracking here relentlessly with the help of the Marrow-Seeking Spirit Pearl.

Li Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that the aura of Hunyuan Spiritual Essence is in this area?"

Wei Moer nodded slightly, with an unquestionable look in her eyes: "The Seeking Marrow Spirit Pearl sensed that weak and unique fluctuation, it is nearby."

Li Yuan then closed his eyes and concentrated, his soul power surged out like a tide, instantly covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles in radius, carefully combing every inch of space.

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold look in his eyes: “Found it.

"About eighty miles away, the strong men from the Biqiu Village who had taken the photos were sitting together, quickly recovering their energy.

“There are more than a dozen figures standing guard around them, all dressed in the same attire, and at least five of them are at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

"This is the aura of one of them, more powerful than you."

Upon hearing this, Wei Moer said with certainty: "Yes, it is them.

"That aura that is stronger than mine must be Feng Bilan, the deputy leader of Biqiu Village. It seems that their plan is to meet here."

Wei Moer secretly weighed the issue in his mind and realized that it would be extremely difficult to snatch the unformed Hunyuan Spirit Essence from Feng Bilan and the strong men under his command by his own strength.

In particular, Feng Bilan, the deputy leader of Biqiu Village, is famous in the Wen River Basin. His strength is so strong that even Shui Qing of Shuiyun Peak cannot compare to him.

Because this person has been able to work independently in an environment protected by strong people in the Wuhuawen realm for a long time, he has developed ruthless and decisive methods.

What's more, the past of Bi Qiu Village was that of pirates, whose style of doing things was cunning and changeable, making it difficult to guard against them.

"Should we take action now?" Wei Moer asked Li Yuan. If they wanted to seize the things, only the person in front of them could do it.

"Let's wait and see." Li Yuan looked up at the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the dense treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of unreal tranquility to the tense atmosphere.

He carefully observed Feng Bilan and his group. The latter looked relaxed, obviously thinking that they had successfully escaped the entanglement of those pursuers in Guxiao City.

However, Li Yuan did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he analyzed the situation more carefully.

The strength of the several Half-Step Transformation Realm peak warriors around Feng Bilan is equally unfathomable, and they are on par with Wei Moer.

Together with other powerful men, if they join forces to perform a powerful Yuanshu formation, even if he and Wei Moer join forces, the outcome will be hard to predict.

Although Li Yuan has many trump cards, he comes here to help Wei Moer get things, not to fight for treasures for himself.

Therefore, he did not want to use those precious means easily.

At this moment, Li Yuan felt as if he had always been plotted against by Wei Moer.

This woman always plays a subtle role, but the real interests are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, out of reach.

But he thought again, the Heavenly Bone he had seized from the Shuiyun Palace was still in his possession, and it was not completely a waste. He completely activated his life energy.

After nearly an hour of breathing exercises, several powerful men from the Bi Qiu Village who were participating in the auction in Guxiao City finally stood up.

At this moment, Feng Bilan suddenly cast his sharp gaze towards the direction where Li Yuan and Wei Moer were hiding.

There was both doubt and vigilance in that look, as if it could penetrate the thickets of trees.

"Could it be that I have really been discovered?" Li Yuan's heart was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and shook his head to deny it.

"With their soul power, they can never reach where I am now."

This confidence stems from his absolute grasp of his own strength and his deep insight into the surrounding environment.

"Deputy Village Chief, what's wrong?" An old woman next to Feng Bilan couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

A hint of doubt flashed across Feng Bilan's brows: "I have an inexplicable feeling, as if something is watching me in secret.

"But I can't say what it is exactly."

The old woman was even more confused when she heard this: "Could it be that we haven't completely gotten rid of those stalkers?
"But our plan is so thorough and our whereabouts are so secretive, how could it be easily discovered?"

Feng Bilan hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "Maybe it's just my illusion.

“You’ve really shaken those tails off.

"Keep going, but be more careful."

Li Yuan, who was nearly a hundred miles away, showed some doubt in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of urgency: "They are leaving, let's get ready to go."

The next moment, Li Yuan suddenly paused, frowning slightly: "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Wei Moer on the side couldn't help but become nervous and asked hurriedly.

Li Yuan's eyes showed a solemn look: "Behind Feng Bilan and the others, about seventy miles away in the depths of the valley, there are strong and strange auras hidden in it.

“One of the cold auras was strikingly similar to Xue Yinchen’s aura.

“Even… I dare to conclude that it was him.

“How did he track them so quickly? It’s as if he knew the meeting point of Biqiu Village very well.

“However, strangely, the middle-aged woman next to him did not show up.

“I didn’t expect that Xue Yinchen’s aura was so strong. He was obviously holding back at the auction.”
