Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Starry Sky Iron is a rare and top-tier material, extremely scarce in the world.

It is rare to see such a precious item unless it is used for large-scale crafting of magical artifacts.

Moreover, the annual production of Starry Sky Iron is extremely limited.

Therefore, its price is also ridiculously high.

However, the Refining Pavilion possesses a piece of Starry Black Iron, and Shi Ji came here specifically to inquire about its price.

He pondered that if he could acquire this piece of Starry Black Iron and refine it in the Heaven-Mending Furnace, he would definitely enhance the power of his magic weapon.

Shi Ji nodded and said frankly, "That's exactly right."

The old man smiled and said, "Young Master Shi, you've come at just the right time. Today, my Refining Pavilion happens to have a batch of top-grade materials to auction off."

Oh? Is another top-tier material about to appear in the world?

The old man explained with a smile, "That's right, there is indeed a piece of Starry Sky Iron to be auctioned today. However, this piece of Starry Sky Iron is not of top quality; it's just of ordinary quality. Therefore, the price is relatively affordable, only fifty million immortal stones. What do you think, Young Master Shi?"

Shi Ji said without hesitation, "Then I'll trouble the elder to bring this piece of Starry Sky Iron."

As he spoke, he took out a storage ring containing 500 million immortal stones and handed it to the old man.

The old man accepted the storage ring, secretly admiring Shi Ji's generosity.

He then instructed his two female disciples to take Shi Ji to the auction house for Starry Sky Iron.

Shi Ji followed behind the two female disciples, secretly on guard.

He knew that top-tier materials like Starry Sky Iron would be fiercely contested at the auction.

If you encounter a strong opponent, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, he must remain highly vigilant to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Just in case, Shiji even released the little furball to guard her.

Although the little furball is playful, it has a very keen sense of danger.

With it by her side, Shiji feels much more at ease.

Soon, they arrived at the outside of a magnificent auction house.

The auction house is enormous, covering an area of ​​several acres.

The surrounding area was bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.

At that moment, a beautiful and alluring woman dressed in a red gauze dress walked gracefully from a distance.

She was the manager of the auction house—the matchmaker, who was said to have a powerful background.

"Madam, this young master is attending today's auction," a female disciple said softly as she quickly approached Hong Niangzi.

Hong Niangzi nodded and turned her gaze to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji clasped her hands in a respectful greeting and said, "I am Shi Ji, and I wish to participate in the auction of Starry Sky Iron. I hope Lady Hong can help make the arrangements."

"Please wait a moment, young master," said Hong Niangzi, then turned and gave the order.

Soon, a beast-drawn carriage stopped at the entrance.

Hong Niangzi led Shi Ji onto the beast-drawn carriage, which slowly set off and headed into the distance.

Shi Ji's expression gradually turned serious; he realized that he was being watched.

He couldn't help but sneer, thinking to himself: They really are a persistent ghost.

Although he did not know the origins of these people, he had already anticipated it.

He guessed that most of these people were also after the Starry Sky Iron.

However, Shi Ji was determined to obtain the Starry Sky Black Iron.

This is an extraordinary treasure, said to be coveted even by emperors.

The Starry Sky Iron is extremely powerful; even a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm would not dare to easily withstand its attack.

It is a top-tier material for forging natal magic weapons, possessing immense power.

The beast-drawn carriage quickly entered the black market, traveled along a secluded street, and finally stopped in front of an ancient palace.

There are many private rooms here, all of which are isolated by array formations, so the outside cannot see what is happening inside.

However, those inside the private room could clearly see the scene outside.

"This is the auction house," Shi Ji said. "Thank you for your hard work, young lady. This immortal stone is a reward for you."

As he spoke, he took out a magic stone and handed it to Hong Niangzi.

Hong Niangzi smiled and said, "Young master, you're too kind. This way, please."

She led Shiji into a private room.

After entering the private room, Shi Ji sat cross-legged and waited for the auction to begin.

Time passed by minute by minute.

It wasn't until just before the auction was about to begin that Hong Niangzi gently knocked on the door.

Shi Ji opened the door, and Hong Niangzi handed him a jade box.

“Starry Sky Iron, this is the Starry Sky Iron. Please accept it, young master,” said Hong Niangzi.

Shi Ji took the jade box and said, "Now that I have the Starry Sky Iron, I will take my leave."

Seeing this, Hong Niangzi hurriedly said, "Young master, please wait. This piece of Starry Black Iron is indeed a top-quality choice. I still have many matters to discuss in detail!"

"No need for further words! I have urgent matters to attend to! Let's talk another day!" Shi Ji said, turning to leave. Hong Niangzi tried to stop her, but to no avail.

She wondered to herself, why was Shi Ji in such a hurry? Could it be that she had sensed something?
Hong Niangzi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then decided that she should report this matter to her master as soon as possible. If her master knew that Shi Ji had arrived on Black Wind Star, he would definitely rush over and perhaps be able to meet with Shi Ji.

With that thought in mind, Hong Niangzi turned around and returned to the auction house.

"Mrs. Hong, is that young master's money still sufficient?" an old woman approached and asked with concern. She was the auction house's appraiser.

The matchmaker replied, "He is wealthy and of extraordinary status!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman was immediately shocked: "So extravagant? To directly purchase that most precious piece of Starry Black Iron for only three immortal stones?"

Lady Red sighed softly, "Let's continue with the auction."

The old woman nodded, then glanced at the cultivators below and announced loudly, "Gentlemen, the auction is now officially open!"

The ensuing auction was a lively affair, with all sorts of treasures on display.

Shi Ji had been searching for something suitable for himself, but after a long search, he couldn't find anything that met his needs, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But he didn't give up, firmly believing that something suitable would eventually appear.

"The next item up for auction originates from the Desolate Region. It is said that its owner is a mysterious and unpredictable being, seemingly from some mysterious world, the exact location of which remains unknown. However, his presence at this auction must have an extraordinary reason. Therefore, its value far exceeds what three immortal stones can measure!"

A beautiful maidservant held a crystal tray with a jade bottle on it. What was inside the bottle was still unknown.

"Please take a look, everyone. This bottle of pills is called the Dragon-Tiger Saint Transformation Pill, a peak ninth-tier healing elixir. After taking it, it will not only enhance physical strength but also improve bloodline power, with truly exceptional effects. If anyone is willing to sell this pill, our Black Wind Merchant Alliance will offer the most favorable price. Of course, most people are probably here for the Starry Sky Profound Iron, but those people are destined to leave disappointed."

"Because that piece of Starry Sky Iron has already been pre-ordered!" a male cultivator said. He was muscular and had sharp eyes, clearly a formidable character.

Upon hearing this, another man in blue sneered and stood up, saying, "You think you can buy the Starry Sky Iron with just twelve immortal stones? Don't you even look in the mirror? Do you even deserve to possess the Starry Sky Iron? Do you know its value? Ten trillion immortal stones! I'll offer one hundred and one trillion immortal stones!"

At this moment, Shi Ji also stood up and said loudly, "I offer five trillion immortal stones!"

These words shocked everyone present, and all eyes turned to Shi Ji.

The hall fell silent instantly, everyone was shocked.

No one expected that Shiji would be so wealthy and powerful.

This guy is way too rich!
He just opened his mouth and asked for tens of trillions of immortal stones. That many immortal stones—even some of the most powerful forces probably couldn't afford them.

How could such a young man be so wealthy?

"Who exactly is this guy? Is his background extremely powerful?"

Many people are filled with doubt.

Shi Ji's voice was too domineering, showing an attitude of not taking everyone seriously.

"Your generosity is truly remarkable. May I ask your esteemed name?"

Shi Ji said calmly, "My surname is Lu, and my given name is Lin."

"Oh, so it's Young Master Lu Lin." The blue-robed cultivator nodded as if suddenly realizing something, then said, "Since Brother Lin is so generous, then this piece of Starry Sky Iron belongs to Brother Lin!"

Shi Ji laughed loudly, then waved her hand to take out a storage ring and threw it at the blue-robed cultivator.

After checking the number of immortal stones in the storage ring, the blue-robed cultivator instructed the maid beside him to deliver the Starry Black Iron to the VIP room where Shi Ji was located.

Shi Ji put away the Starry Sky Iron, a satisfied smile on her face.

Then he closed his eyes.

Although the Starry Sky Iron contains extreme destructive power, Shi Ji's Chaos Ancient Lamp can absorb and refine it.

He waited for the Starry Black Iron to completely merge into the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

Once the Starry Iron is integrated into the Chaos Ancient Lamp, it will help him condense the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

This is of paramount importance to Shiji.

There are seven pieces of Starry Black Iron. The more pieces he obtains, the higher his probability of condensing the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

Of course, Shi Ji did not forget the other pieces of Starry Sky Iron.

Shi Ji planned to acquire the remaining five pieces of Starry Sky Iron. To do this, he intended to first purchase some refining materials before searching for the remaining pieces of Starry Sky Iron.

He slowly channeled his soul power into the Chaos Ancient Lamp, which then hovered in mid-air, emitting a soft blue light that enveloped Shi Ji entirely.

Shi Ji activated the Heaven-Mending Technique, and in an instant, the Chaos Ancient Lamp's absorption of the Starry Sky Iron suddenly accelerated.

A day passed quietly, and Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes, feeling her energy and spirit becoming more and more abundant.

The next day passed, time flies, and fourteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Shi Ji strolled out of her room.

"This guy is really tough; he actually survived."

Many people looked surprised.

Previously, many monks believed that Shi Ji was doomed.

But no one expected that he would miraculously survive.

"This guy is really lucky to be alive."

Everyone started talking.

"Hey, who's that? What a handsome and dashing man!"

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Shi Ji.

Only then did they realize that Shi Ji was sitting near the door, leisurely drinking wine and enjoying the view outside the window.

“That guy seems to be a distinguished guest,” one of the monks remarked.

"Who exactly is this guy? I've never seen him before, nor have I seen him at the auction. When did he enter the auction?"

Some of the monks began to exchange ideas.

These people were not there to attend the auction; they were all reclusive cultivators who preferred to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and rivers to cultivate diligently.

They have always disdained attending auctions and similar events.

"Young master, if you need any treasure, just ask!"

An elderly man stepped forward and said that he was the host here.

"I need a Yin-Yang Grass. Do you sell Yin-Yang Grass here?" Shi Ji asked.

Yin-Yang Grass is a very rare spiritual herb that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find, and it is highly prized even in auction houses.

"I'm sorry, we don't have this kind of spiritual herb here," the old man said.

At this moment, another elderly man walked slowly over.

The old man was dressed in a white robe and had an air of otherworldly wisdom.

He frowned slightly and looked at Shi Ji, asking, "I do have one of these Yin-Yang Grasses. Would you be willing to exchange one of them for a spiritual herb, young master?"

"Change it! Of course we'll change it!"

The old man took out a box and handed it to Shi Ji.

Shi Ji took the box and opened it.

Inside the box lay a pure white spiritual herb, enveloped in yin and yang energies.

"This is the Yin-Yang Flower. The Yin-Yang Grass is born from the combination of the Yin-Yang Flower and another Yin-Yang Grass. Once mature, it can form Yin-Yang Lotus Seeds. Yin-Yang Lotus Seeds can increase the probability of cultivators below the Emperor Realm breaking through their realm by as much as 80%!"

"Moreover, the Yin-Yang Lotus Seed has an extremely strong restorative effect on repairing soul trauma!"

"Both of these items are extremely rare. If you wish to purchase Yin-Yang Lotus Seeds or Yin-Yang Grass, I suggest you visit Medicine King Valley to buy Yin-Yang Grass."

Shi Ji raised an eyebrow. This old man indeed knew a lot about Yin-Yang Grass and Yin-Yang Lotus Seeds. It seemed that this shopping mall had quite a history.

Shi Ji said, "I've got it. Farewell."

"Go slowly and don't send me away!"

After leaving the auction house, Shi Ji continued her journey, heading towards Medicine King Valley.

Medicine King Valley is not far from here; it takes about a day's flight to get there.

Shi Ji landed in a dense forest.

He then summoned the little dragon, which immediately burrowed underground.

Shi Ji set up several concealment formations around the area, and then went into her cave to cultivate in seclusion.

He planned to try and see if he could condense the flame seed of the Chaos Ancient Lamp.

If she could condense a seed of flame, it would be of great importance to Shi Ji.

Because Shi Ji possesses nine kinds of heavenly fire, if she were to condense a flame seed, its power would increase tenfold or even dozens of times.

If the flame seed cannot be condensed, the impact on Shiji will be enormous.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged, constantly rehearsing her understanding of the "Way of Yin and Yang" among all the myriad paths of the heavens.

Finally, Shi Ji began to try to condense a seed of fire.

His first attempt was naturally based on the principles of Yin and Yang.

His magical power surged forth, condensing into a seed of flame in the void.

Then, he began to refine the flame seed.

The process was quite difficult, but Shi Ji managed to condense the Flame Seed with great difficulty.

Shi Ji took out the Flame Seed. (End of Chapter)
