Prehistoric: The female saint Shiji, brilliant and talented

Aside from the top geniuses of those major powers, no one would come to the black market to buy things.

Moreover, there are rules in the black market.
Items traded on the black market are kept strictly confidential.

"Isn't that kid the cultivator who was surrounded and attacked the other day?"

Someone pointed to the rocky islet in the distance and said.

"It's him! So his name is Li Mu. I heard he's a rogue cultivator, and only at the Quasi-Immortal level!"

Many people recognized Shi Ji.

Although Shi Ji's cultivation level wasn't particularly high, his battle record was astonishing.

Back then, Shi Ji ventured into the starry world alone.
It is unknown how many alien demon cultivators he killed, and he even severely injured an alien demon emperor.

They ultimately forced the alien demon emperor to retreat—what an incredible achievement!

At that time, many people were talking about Shiji.

Shi Ji's reputation spread, and many cultivators remembered him.

Now, Shi Ji's identity has been exposed.
This surprised and puzzled everyone.

If this guy is so capable, why would he come to the black market auction house to auction things?

Is his wealth insufficient to support his continued purchases of treasures at black market auctions?

But thinking about it carefully, Shi Ji has risen to prominence over the years, and it seems that he has never lost money.

Could it be that Shi Ji is hiding a lot of immortal crystals?

But that doesn't seem to make sense either.

His sea of ​​souls still holds many immortal crystals.

“I remember this person.”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"Oh, you remember now? This person was indeed the cultivator who fought the alien demons that day, but that kid disappeared afterward and never appeared again."

But now he's here, and his cultivation has even reached the quasi-immortal realm! It's unbelievable! I suspect this kid is hiding his true strength!

The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that the cultivator's words made perfect sense. It was indeed possible that Shi Ji was concealing his cultivation level, unwilling to reveal his true strength. Therefore, he would leave immediately once someone recognized him.

The reason Shi Ji was able to escape from a desperate situation back then may also be due to his unknown methods this time.

If Shi Ji could truly unleash those formidable techniques, she would probably have left the black market long ago.

The group exchanged glances and decided to leave for the time being, waiting for Shi Ji to appear the next day.

Let's investigate his background further and find out who he really is.

Shi Ji walked out of the house and immediately noticed that a lot of people had gathered around her.

"Who are these people?" Shi Ji was slightly taken aback.

He ignored them and walked straight outside.

However, at that moment, three men and two women blocked his way.

These five people were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and it was clear at a glance that they were no ordinary people.

The guards who had accompanied them stood respectfully to one side.

One of the women was strikingly beautiful, yet possessed an extremely aloof demeanor.

Her name is Zhao Zidie, and she is a direct descendant of the Zhao family, an imperial clan of the Nine Provinces.

Zhao Zidie's father, Zhao Tianxiong, was the cousin of Zhao Yunshan, the head of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yunshan is the son of the Zhao family patriarch, while Zhao Zidie's grandfather is the Zhao family's ancestor.

Therefore, Zhao Zidie's status was extraordinary. Even the older generation of emperors had to treat her with utmost respect, given the immense power behind her.

"Who is this guy?"

"Never seen him before, he must be a newly promoted rogue cultivator?"

"Judging from his shabby appearance, he probably doesn't have any savings."

When the people around saw the rock, they began to whisper among themselves.

They didn't take Shi Ji seriously at all, and didn't even bother to check if he had any immortal crystals.

"Please wait a moment, sir. May I ask if you have purchased Soul Gathering Crystals?"

Shi Ji frowned. Zhao Zidie's attitude was really too bad. She and Zhao Zidie seemed to have no connection. Why would Zhao Zidie come to her?
However, Shi Ji did not immediately turn hostile, but instead clasped her hands in a fist and said, "I have not made any purchases."

"You've never bought Soul Gathering Crystals before, yet you dare to sell them on the black market? You're courting death!" Zhao Zidie looked at Shi Ji with a mocking smile and said.

Shi Ji's eyes instantly darkened. He looked at Zhao Zidie and said, "I don't know what crime I have committed that would make Miss Zhao look down on me so much?"

Zhao Zidie sneered, "You've committed heinous crimes, yet you dare to claim innocence?"

The surrounding monks began to whisper among themselves.

"This young master is incredibly audacious, daring to show himself here. Does he have a death wish?"

"This man may have some skill, but it's all in vain, because he'll die here soon!"

"This guy must be out of his mind. Not only is he auctioning items on the black market, but he's even coming to an auction house. Does he not respect the black market at all? People in the black market are notoriously protective of their own. If he causes trouble in the black market, he'll definitely come to a bad end!"

"Hehe, let's just watch the show. Maybe we can even earn some commission after this is over."

Shi Ji said, "I didn't come to the black market to cause trouble. I did buy some Soul Gathering Crystals before, but I didn't intend to auction them off on the black market. I wanted to use them to treat my friend's wife!"

“Friend? Which friend?” Zhao Zidie asked.

“Her name is Nangong Yana. Where is she now? Take me to see her!” Shi Ji said.

“I know who she is. She’s in the north of the city. Come with me!” Zhao Zidie said, then turned and flew away into the distance.

Shi Ji quickly gave chase.

He discovered that Zhao Zidie was extremely fast, even faster than himself, clearly indicating that Zhao Zidie was a formidable opponent.

Soon, he saw a huge courtyard with many rooms inside. At that moment, a woman was lying on a bed.

Her arms were outstretched, her body stiff, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

This woman is none other than Nangong Yana.

Shi Ji's eyes reddened. Nangong Yana's injuries were extremely serious, and it seemed that the girl wouldn't last much longer.

He rushed into the courtyard and went to Nangong Yana's bedside.

Nangong Yana looked up and saw Shiji, her face immediately lighting up with joy. She tried to reach out and touch Shiji, but ultimately failed.

Shi Ji quickly grabbed Nangong Yana's delicate hand.

Nangong Yana whispered, "It hurts so much, it hurts so much."

Shi Ji said, "I will heal your wounds."

After saying that, Shi Ji activated her magic and began to help Nangong Yana restore her physical body.

A surge of pure and powerful energy erupted from his body, enveloping Nangong Yana's body.

Immediately, this pure energy flowed into Nangong Yana's body.

It continuously nourishes her body.

Gradually, Nangong Yana's pale face regained its color.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Zidie and the others were stunned.

They were all intelligent people, and seeing this, they all guessed that Shi Ji might be proficient in mysterious fields such as alchemy or pharmacology.

This kind of knowledge can quickly repair a cultivator's damaged physical body.

Every cultivator who can master this magical skill is an exceptionally gifted genius who defies the heavens.

Therefore, Zhao Zidie also developed a strong interest in Shi Ji's identity.

Despite her extreme confidence in her beauty
However, he did not believe that Shi Ji would be easily attracted to her.

Zhao Zidie felt that Shi Ji might be a reclusive disciple of a powerful force.

That's why he has such amazing talent.

Not long after, Shi Ji stopped treating Nangong Yana's injuries.

He opened his eyes and looked at Nangong Yana.
His face looked slightly tired.

But a faint smile lingered at the corners of his mouth.

Shi Ji asked softly, "Yana, how are you feeling now?"

Hearing Shi Ji's concerned voice, Nangong Yana burst into tears again.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly coughed violently, and large amounts of blood gushed from her mouth and nose.

Nangong Yana's body became increasingly weak.

Shi Ji quickly pulled her into her arms and comforted her, "You must not speak. Your condition is very critical. You need to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Nangong Yana nodded slightly, her consciousness somewhat blurred, but she still remembered that Shiji had said she would give her the Soul Gathering Crystal to auction.

So, Nangong Yana struggled to hold herself together, trying to retrieve the Soul Gathering Crystal.

"Let me auction off the Soul Gathering Immortal Crystal."

Shi Ji took a deep breath and said.

He didn't want to see Nangong Yana die like that.

If it weren't for Nangong Yana risking her life to save her, Shiji would have already perished under the claws of that powerful Starry Sky Demon Whale.

Nangong Yana was his savior.

Shi Ji naturally did not want to watch her die.

He was determined to save Nangong Yana.

Nangong Yana shook her head slightly and said, "I'm already too weak to go on and I don't want to be a burden to you. I know how serious my injuries are, and if you continue to help me, it will only harm you."

Not only will you not be able to save me, you'll also lose your own life.

Shi Ji said firmly, "You are my savior, how can I abandon you?"

Nangong Yana leaned gently against Shiji's chest.

Shi Ji then sat on the edge of the bed with Nangong Yana in her arms, channeling her magic power to protect her soul from destruction.

Zhao Zidie asked, "Since you want to auction off the contents of this storage ring, why don't you take them out?"

"The thing is inside."

Zhao Zidie was quite surprised.

Then she examined the storage ring carefully.

This storage ring is a treasure.
Moreover, it is a powerful ancient weapon.

Therefore, it differs from other storage rings.

After checking, Zhao Zidie found three spiritual herbs in the storage ring.

"Isn't what you want to exchange for these three spiritual herbs?" Zhao Zidie asked in confusion.

Shi Ji explained, "I did come for these three spiritual herbs, but they are not the ones I want to buy. It is a young woman who wants to buy them."

So I agreed to the young woman's request and told her to come here and exchange my token.

Zhao Zidie asked again, "Are you planning to use your token to exchange for those three spiritual herbs?"

"This token seems to be quite valuable. Are you really willing to use it to exchange for those three spiritual herbs? If you don't want to exchange for those three spiritual herbs, I'll take out the token for you."

After all, those things are extremely important to you, and it would be a real shame to delay your plans because of them.

Shi Ji shook her head and said, "No need."

He handed the token to Zhao Zidie and said, "I'll trouble you with this token, young lady."

Zhao Zidie took the token and said, "I'll keep this token for you for now. I'll give you the three spirit herbs later, and you can exchange them back then."

"Then thank you very much, young lady."

Zhao Zidie said, "There's no need to be so polite between us."

Shi Ji nodded, sat cross-legged, and began to recover her magical power, as the consumption just now was too great.

Shi Ji is in extremely poor condition.

Zhao Zidie, Princess Mengyue, Poison Ancestor, Evil Saint, and others stood guard outside.

The night passed quietly.

Its daybreak.

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Shi Ji, who slowly opened her eyes.

Last night's rest was extremely taxing on Shiji.

His body is still weak, and his soul has been traumatized and will take some time to recover.

Shi Ji felt as if her soul was immersed in a chaotic universe, surrounded by a hazy mist.

He tried to summon the chaotic mist.

He vaguely saw countless stars floating in the chaotic mist.

Within each of those stars lies an endless flame of starlight.

"Hey, there looks like a sea of ​​fire over there."

Shi Ji exclaimed in surprise, noting that the area was radiating intense heat.

What kind of flame is this? Could it be the legendary Chaos Flame?
Shi Ji's heart skipped a beat.

Chaos Flame is the most supreme flame in the world. It is said that when Chaos Flame was first born, it was formed from a cloud of black mist, which then evolved into the myriad worlds.

However, it eventually turned into a vast and boundless sea of ​​fire.

The Chaos Flame contains terrifying power; once unleashed, it will destroy everything in heaven and earth.

Shi Ji flew towards the sea of ​​fire, and the closer she got to it, the stronger the oppressive feeling it brought became.

Finally, Shi Ji entered this vast sea of ​​fire.

In an instant, scalding flames enveloped Shi Ji's entire body.

Shi Ji couldn't help but roar in pain.

His skin was charred black, and his body was even engulfed in flames.

However, Shi Ji still did not give up fighting against this strange flame.

He is now trapped here, and the only way to leave alive is to break through this sea of ​​fire.

Shi Ji activated her Undying Divine Body, and the power of the Undying Divine Body surged continuously, resisting the scorching of those strange flames.

His skin began to crack, but the wounds were healing rapidly.

Shi Ji's physical abilities were extremely extraordinary; even under such circumstances...

The physical body is also rapidly repairing itself.

After the repair is completed,
Shi Ji's health has fully recovered.

But Shi Ji's face turned ashen.

This sea of ​​fire was far too domineering; even the energy of the Immortal Stone Talisman could only barely suppress its corrosive effects on the body.

The idea of ​​completely expelling the strange flames from the body is simply wishful thinking.

"What are you going to do? Let me help you!"

Zhao Zidie saw that Shi Ji's condition seemed extremely critical.
They feared that Shi Ji would be burned to death by the strange flames.

"I know my own situation! Get back somewhere else! Don't come any closer to me!"

Hearing Shi Ji's serious tone,
Zhao Zidie didn't say anything more and left the room.

A metal fragment suddenly flashed in Shi Ji's hand.
This metal fragment is the one that Shi Ji took out of the mysterious little tower.

Shi Ji wanted to use this metal fragment to refine those strange flames and see if she could succeed.

The moment this thought arose in Shi Ji's mind, she immediately activated the Epochal Mark and devoured the metal fragment. (End of Chapter)
