Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Then, he used his magic to envelop the flame seed.

He then swallowed the Flame Seed, which merged into Shi Ji's body.

Shi Ji began to focus all her efforts on breaking through to the Great Emperor realm.

However, his magical power was almost exhausted, and he still had not been able to reach the Great Emperor realm.

Shi Ji had no choice but to stop.

"How could I have failed? I had clearly already touched the threshold of the Great Emperor realm." Shi Ji frowned and pondered, then shook her head.

It seems my opportunity has not yet arrived.

Shi Ji was not discouraged; he continued his cultivation.

Before going to sleep, he took a few pills.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Shi Ji went straight to the auction house.

This time, Shi Ji still showed herself in her original appearance.

Not long after, Shi Ji entered a courtyard.

In the courtyard, a group of monks stood quietly, all eagerly awaiting the start of the auction.

Shi Ji found a corner and slowly sat down.

"I heard that two top-grade immortal artifacts will be auctioned this time. We are really lucky."

"Hehe, if we can get our hands on these two treasures, our combat power will definitely increase exponentially. So today we must do our best to seize these two treasures. Such an opportunity is too rare!"

Many people were excitedly discussing it.

Shi Ji couldn't help but wonder, could they be talking about those two kinds of spiritual herbs?

However, this is an "auction house," so it shouldn't be auctioning priceless treasures, right?
Just as Shi Ji was pondering these matters, an old man slowly walked up to the auction stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's now begin the auction for the first and most anticipated item!"

"The first item is a fragment of a scroll, said to have been obtained from a forbidden area. The scroll records a mysterious inheritance, though incomplete, it is exceptionally powerful. We hope all interested patrons will actively participate in the bidding!"

The old man's voice echoed throughout the auction house, shocking many who were astonished that such a heaven-defying item had appeared. The powerful figures, in particular, displayed fervent expressions.

Shi Ji frowned slightly. He had originally thought that this auction would only feature three kinds of spiritual herbs or Yin-Yang lotus seeds.

Unexpectedly, a fragment of a scroll was auctioned off.

Shi Ji didn't really want the incomplete scroll, because the inheritance recorded on it was probably just some ordinary magic techniques.

What truly concerned Shi Ji was the stone tablet. He had received a legacy from it, along with a stone seal of extraordinary origin.

Therefore, even if a powerful inheritance were presented to Shi Ji, he wouldn't find it surprising.

"Starting bid: 500 billion top-grade immortal crystals! Each bid must be at least 10 billion higher!"

"Six hundred billion top-grade immortal crystals!"

Soon, bids began to pour in.

Prices have been rising steadily.

Ultimately, the incomplete scroll was auctioned off for 900 billion top-grade immortal crystals.

Shi Ji's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

This price far exceeds the value of the tattered scroll itself.

He thought about it and decided not to take action.

After all, it would be a real shame to miss out on such a treasure.

Therefore, Shi Ji chose to give up.

Next, two more treasures appeared: a giant hammer, a cauldron, and a long spear.

All three treasures were successfully auctioned off.

The fourth item is a golden gourd vine.

The gourd vine was rooted in the chalcedony, exuding a powerful life force.

Moreover, that life essence seemed to have a strong corrosive effect; if someone came into contact with this gourd vine, their body would likely be corroded.

Therefore, many people chose to give up.

In the end, Shi Ji successfully bought the gourd vine for 260 billion top-grade immortal crystals.

"Guess what the final price of that gourd vine will be?"

"No matter how much, I believe the owner of that gourd vine will definitely make a fortune this time!"

"Did this guy manage to snag another bargain?"

The crowd couldn't help but laugh and start discussing it.

Shi Ji has always been very lucky, and many things have proven that his luck is indeed quite good.

Therefore, most people believe that Shi Ji will definitely find a bargain at this auction.

The auction continued.

"The next items to be auctioned are two quasi-immortal-grade magic treasures!"

"Starting bid: 500 billion top-grade immortal crystals! Each bid must be at least 50 billion top-grade immortal crystals!"

The auctioneer continued to introduce the remaining two items.

"A quasi-immortal-grade magic weapon?" Shi Ji immediately showed a surprised expression.

He was quite interested in the celestial-grade magic treasure.

Quasi-Immortal-level magic treasures are incredibly powerful; any one of them can withstand an attack from a Quasi-Immortal-level cultivator.

If a cultivator possesses a quasi-immortal-grade magic weapon, then traversing the Tianwu Continent will become much simpler and easier.

However, quasi-immortal-level magic treasures are extremely valuable, requiring a vast amount of wealth to purchase even one.

"Five hundred and eight hundred billion top-grade immortal crystals!"

Many people started bidding, and the price soared.

In the end, both of these near-immortal-grade magic treasures were successfully auctioned off.

Then, two more fruits appeared.

One of the bright red fruits contained a powerful bloodline fluctuation.

Shi Ji was taken aback.

Because that fruit actually contained a trace of the bloodline of the ancient demon beast "Taotie".

The ancient monster "Taotie" is a terrifying beast from the primordial era.

The Taotie's appetite is said to be extraordinary, capable of devouring the entire universe and starry sky.

Moreover, the Taotie's defense is extremely powerful.

Under normal circumstances, only ferocious beasts of the same level or powerful cultivators working together can deal with an ancient Taotie.

Now, this fruit is like a ferocious beast fruit with powerful defensive capabilities. It can not only help cultivators deflect attacks, but also has a great effect on breaking through cultivation levels.

Just then, Shi Ji suddenly discovered that within her own little world...

Surprisingly, two drops of blood were floating in his little world.

Judging from the scent, one drop belongs to the "Dragon" and the other to the "Tiger".

These two drops of blood were something Shi Ji had accidentally obtained in the Valley of Ten Thousand Evils years ago.

At that time, he had not yet had time to investigate what kind of creature the two drops of blood came from.

Even the stone rocks knew nothing about their origins.

After that, he kept those two drops of blood hidden in his little world and never showed them to anyone.

However, despite Shi Ji's repeated study, she was still unable to decipher the profound meaning contained in those two drops of blood.

At that moment, his gaze was drawn to another drop of blood.

It was a drop of black blood, with densely packed runes swirling within it.

Shi Ji stared intently at the runes and was astonished to discover that they were actually celestial patterns!
He had seen quite a few celestial patterns, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so complex.

These celestial patterns seem to contain a destructive power.

When Shi Ji sensed the destructive power contained within these runes, her expression turned serious.

This destructive power was even more terrifying than that produced by a heavenly fire explosion.

what on earth is it?

Why does such terrifying power exist? Shi Ji frowned in thought, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Could it be that the destructive power contained within these runes is actually the power of heavenly tribulation?

The power of heavenly tribulation is hailed as one of the most terrifying forces in all the heavens and myriad realms.

These runes before us can actually contain the power of the heavenly tribulation. Could they be left behind by immortals who failed to transcend the tribulation?
A storm of emotions surged within Shi Ji.

If that's true, doesn't that mean those immortals didn't actually perish?

"No wonder this item is so precious; it turns out to be the blood of an immortal. If it truly came from an immortal, then consuming it will undoubtedly greatly increase one's cultivation speed!"

"Not only that, it can also improve the physical body and cleanse the soul, truly with endless wonders."

The cultivators in the hall were vying fiercely for the two quasi-immortal-grade magic treasures, their eyes burning with desire.

Shi Ji, however, did not raise her paddle to bid.

He knew that these top powers must possess quasi-immortal level magical artifacts.

If they put the magic weapon up for auction, they are naturally confident of acquiring it.

Since these top powers have already mastered quasi-immortal artifacts and magical treasures, Shi Ji gave up the idea of ​​competing with them.

He planned to observe the situation and make his move at the crucial moment.

"Next up for auction are two quasi-immortal-grade magic treasures, and the final, most important item—a pill called the Soul Gathering Pill! As the name suggests, it can gather the souls of the dead, and after consumption, it can allow the deceased to reassemble their bodies! Although this Soul Gathering Pill is only a quasi-immortal pill, its uses are boundless!"

The Demon Lord's voice rang out softly, and upon hearing it, a glint of light flashed in Shi Ji's eyes.

His soul was missing a soul imprint.

If he can find this soul imprint, his combat power will be greatly enhanced.

What he lacks most now is a strong physical body.

Although Shi Ji's physical body is what he relies on most, if it is damaged, it will have a great impact on his combat power.

This Soul Gathering Pill can perfectly make up for his shortcomings.

Shi Ji was determined to win.

He stood up and announced loudly, "Twenty Chaos Stones."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Twenty Chaos Stones are enough to buy three or four quasi-immortal level magic treasures.

Shi Ji, however, wanted to use Chaos Stones to buy Soul Gathering Pills.

Has he gone mad?

"Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Of course we'll buy it!" Shi Ji nodded, her expression resolute.

"Alright, sold! Congratulations to this young master for winning the first auction item—the Soul Gathering Pill!"

The old man on the auction stage smiled slightly and announced.

Immediately afterwards, a maidservant carrying a porcelain bottle containing the Soul Gathering Pill flew swiftly toward Shiji.

Shi Ji took the Soul Gathering Pill and turned to leave her seat.

"What a generous gesture! They're even willing to put up quasi-immortal artifacts for auction!"

"Yes, this guy probably wants to use the power of a quasi-immortal artifact to temper his physical body. After all, the stronger the physical body, the greater the chance of passing the tribulation in the future."

"I really envy him. I wonder just how strong his physical body is?"

"It shouldn't be weak, otherwise why would they be willing to use resources like Chaos Stones to purchase this quasi-immortal artifact-level Soul Gathering Pill?"

Everyone sighed with emotion.

Shi Ji then quickly left the auction house.

After he left, a group of people also stood up, and several powerful figures among them seemed to be staring at Shi Ji's back.

They also wanted to follow Shi Ji to find out his background.

After returning to her residence, Shi Ji closed the door to visitors and set up numerous restrictions in her room.

He took out the Soul Gathering Pill, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

In an instant, a powerful and magnificent vitality surged into Shiji's body like a torrent.

This vitality is so strong, it's like a vast and boundless ocean.

Moreover, this vitality is inexhaustible, seemingly without end.

It gave Shiji an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration, and she felt extremely comfortable all over.

Moreover, this vitality is slowly nourishing his body.

Of course, its primary source of nourishment is the soul of Shiji.

"The effects of this Soul Gathering Pill have truly exceeded my expectations; it's fantastic!"

Shi Ji's eyes instantly lit up.

He hurriedly continued refining the Soul Gathering Pill.

The effects of this near-immortal pill are indeed extraordinary.

Shi Ji sensed that as the Soul Gathering Pill's medicinal power gradually seeped into the depths of her soul,

Within the sea of ​​souls, one after another, vortexes of souls began to form.

Each vortex of souls exudes a chilling and terrifying aura.

These vortexes of souls were all left behind by vengeful ghosts.

In their lifetimes, they were all powerful and domineering beings who commanded respect across all realms. Even after their fall and transformation into vengeful ghosts, their soul vortexes remained terrifyingly powerful.

At this moment, these vortexes of souls are nourishing Shiji's soul.
May Shiji's soul grow ever stronger.

Shi Ji tried to circulate the Primordial Dragon Elephant Technique.

As soon as it started operating, he clearly felt...

My own soul power is also rapidly increasing.

This feeling is so wonderful.

Shi Ji was overjoyed. If only she could have such a harvest every time!

Perhaps, in this way, the vortex of vengeful ghosts in the Sea of ​​Souls can be quickly cleared away.

This method sounds quite reliable.

Before long, Shi Ji had consumed most of the Soul Gathering Pill.

However, Shi Ji only refined about half of the medicinal power.

Because the remaining medicinal power still needs time to be refined.

Moreover, the Soul Gathering Pill consumes a great deal of soul power.

Therefore, Shi Ji only absorbed half of the medicinal power.

Shi Ji sat cross-legged on the bed and rested for half an hour, completely refining the remaining medicinal power of the Soul Gathering Pill.

At this moment, Shi Ji's soul power began to grow rapidly.

His spiritual realm also rose accordingly, and he soon broke through to the Emperor realm.

His soul power soared from the peak of the initial stage of Emperor Sect to the peak of the middle stage of Emperor Sect before stopping.

Shi Ji opened his eyes, a satisfied smile on his face. The effect of this quasi-immortal pill was even more powerful than he had imagined.

He wasn't in a hurry to study the crafting techniques of those quasi-immortal level magic treasures; now was not the time to research that.

His energy should be used to elevate his spiritual level.

"Next, I can consider trying to break through to the God Emperor realm," Shi Ji muttered to herself.

Shi Ji walked out of the courtyard and headed outside. Along the way, he saw many people talking about it.

Clearly, his successful bid for the Soul Gathering Pill had caused quite a stir. Therefore, many people were speculating about who had bought it.

Most people guessed that he might be a disciple of some faction or a young prodigy from a powerful clan.

But this possibility is actually not very high.

Because Shi Ji's face was completely unfamiliar to them.

Moreover, Shi Ji had met all the young talents from those powerful forces.

However, they had never seen Shi Ji before; these young talents were mostly in seclusion, cultivating their skills. (End of Chapter)
