Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"Of course, if you are willing, I can also help you collect materials and forge spiritual weapons."

Wang Yue and Li Yun were overjoyed after hearing this. They eagerly asked Yang Ling what he needed to prepare.

Yang Ling said calmly: "I already have all the materials I need."

After hearing this, Wang Yue said with emotion: "Brother Yang Ling, you are so dedicated to us, it really makes us ashamed."

Yang Ling smiled indifferently and said, "These things are insignificant to me."

Hearing Yang Ling say this, Wang Yue was silent for a moment.

Then, he looked at Yang Ling and said seriously: "Brother Yang, after the Tianqing Sect auction is over, you will follow me to a secret realm. That secret realm was discovered by Li Yun and I by accident, but it is very dangerous. However, there are countless treasures in it. If you agree, we will set off after the auction is over; if you refuse..."

Having said this, Wang Yue was a little afraid to continue.

After hearing this, Yang Ling fell into deep thought. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, since you believe in me, how can I refuse?"

Hearing Yang Ling's agreement, Wang Yue's face immediately showed joy: "That's great, Brother Yang is willing to go with us, that's great!"

While they were talking, the first round of the auction had ended.

The following auctions will only be conducted in the form of barter.

That is, participants must offer something of equal value to bid.

As a result, many people began to withdraw one after another.

After all, the Tianqing Sect also has a free trading field in another place. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can occupy a spot and sell your own things.

With this kind of transaction method, some people successfully found treasures, while others were deceived and defrauded.

But it was a transaction that was mutually agreed upon, and with the Tianqing Sect guarding the place, everything was relatively peaceful.

After discussion, Yang Ling and his companions decided to participate in a new round of barter auctions.

After all, this auction method is more efficient than the stall side.

Moreover, as for bartering, Yang Ling has a system and will not suffer any loss.

"From now on, the auction will be a barter auction!" After saying this, the auctioneer stepped aside and waited quietly.

A moment later, a waitress slowly walked onto the stage, holding a tray with ten blue, oval-shaped beads the size of longan, emitting a faint glow.

"This bead is called the Thunder Bead. It can release electric arcs to injure people. It is quite powerful." The waitress's voice was crisp and pleasant. "Although it is not as swift as a thunder attribute attack, it should not be underestimated."

As soon as the waitress finished speaking, the whole place immediately started to make a commotion.

After all, lightning has incredible destructive power, and no one would complain that it is too strong.

However, if you want to barter, you still need to see what the owner of the Thunder Pearl needs.

Yang Ling narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the ten thunder beads.

At the same time, he was thinking about what items he should exchange.

Just as he was lost in thought, a middle-aged cultivator beside him broke the silence and said, "I am quite interested in this Thunder Pearl." Then, he changed the subject and proposed, "I am willing to exchange this Thunder Pearl for a high-quality refining material - Heavenly Thunder Stone."

Yang Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he muttered to himself: This middle-aged cultivator must be a master in refining equipment, and he actually has such precious refining materials. He took a deep breath and slowly said: "The Sky Thunder Stone is indeed a rare and excellent material for refining equipment, and I have a 'Sky Phoenix Feather' here, which is a top-grade spiritual weapon that can enhance the user's defense and speed. I wonder if you are satisfied with using it to exchange for your Sky Thunder Stone?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator nodded slightly, expressing his approval: "The Sky Phoenix Feather is indeed a spiritual weapon of superior quality. I agree to the exchange."

After hearing this, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed the Heavenly Phoenix Feather in his hand to the waitress beside him.

The maid took the Phoenix Feather and stroked its surface, she couldn't help but sighed: "This is really a beautiful spiritual weapon."

After saying that, she carefully handed the Heavenly Phoenix Feather to the middle-aged monk.

After the middle-aged monk took it, he looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, he put away the Phoenix Feather carefully and handed the Thunder Stone directly to the waitress.

Yang Ling witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Then, he spoke again: "I still have the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Spirit Enhancement Pill here. I plan to use them to exchange for the Thunder Pearl. I wonder if it will work?"

Upon hearing this, the waitress quickly contacted the owner of the Thunder Pearl and replied after a moment: "Sir, the owner of the Thunder Pearl is willing to exchange five Thunder Pearls with you."

Yang Ling thought for a moment, then nodded: "No problem, I accept this exchange."

After the transaction was completed, other people also began to show their items and look for partners to exchange with.

At this time, a young sword cultivator took out an exquisite sword and introduced it: "This is a spiritual sword jade talisman that I forged personally after years of sword training. It can enhance the power of any spiritual sword. I want to use it to exchange for a fire-attributed Yuanshi."

Upon hearing this, a young female cultivator with fire attribute cultivation immediately expressed great interest. She took out a flame stone and said to the sword cultivator, "This stone can enhance the effect of fire attribute cultivation. It is extremely precious. I would like to exchange it for your spirit sword jade talisman."

After the sword cultivator and the female cultivator successfully exchanged items, another cultivator took out an exquisite weapon refining secret book. After a brief demonstration, he expressed his hope to exchange the book for some rare minerals.

Upon hearing this, another weapon refining master took out a piece of Tiancan silk and expressed his willingness to exchange.

Natural silk is an extremely rare material that can be used to make advanced defensive equipment.

After the two men finished the exchange, a young doctor took out a bottle of precious elixir, hoping to exchange it for some herbs and minerals.

Soon, he found someone willing to exchange, and after the transaction was completed, the doctor left the scene.

The entire exchange process was orderly, and everyone got what they needed as they wished, and everyone was happy.

Yang Ling watched the whole process from the side, but unfortunately he never found what he liked.

However, through this barter exchange, he successfully exchanged for five thunder beads, and also exchanged a top-grade spiritual weapon for a high-quality refining material, which can be considered a fruitful harvest.

Just when Yang Ling thought that the Tianqing Sect auction was about to come to an end, he did not expect that new auction items would be brought to the stage.

The auctioneer said with a smile: "These are some items that cannot be identified. You can bid as you like. Once you buy, you can't return or exchange them. Please choose carefully."

Yang Ling became excited when he heard this. Isn't this equivalent to opening a blind box?

However, for him, with the system in hand, he naturally did not worry about buying the wrong item. So, he immediately called the system to help identify the items on the auction table.

"Ding! The system has completed the detection. Please select the third item. It is a piece of Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul Iron. It can be used to forge spiritual weapons. It contains a very strong icy aura and is an excellent material for forging spiritual weapons."

The system's answer made Yang Ling happy. He didn't expect there was such a treasure. He immediately said, "I want this third item. Please bid." After saying that, he looked directly at the auctioneer on the auction table. After hearing Yang Ling's offer, the auctioneer immediately announced, "Okay, the third auction item, the reserve price is three thousand medium-quality crystals."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Three thousand middle-grade crystal stones were extremely expensive, and ordinary cultivators from small forces could not afford them at all. As soon as the offer was made, a middle-aged man in a black robe raised his hand and shouted, "Four thousand."

Yang Ling turned his head and saw that the man had a thin face, cold eyes, and a murderous intent floating around him. He instantly understood that this man must be a swordsman or a knifeman, and judging from his aura, he should be a swordsman in the Nascent Soul stage, and his strength should not be underestimated. However, Yang Ling did not care and directly said, "Ten thousand yuan."

The people present had long been accustomed to Yang Ling's generosity, so they were not too shocked. After Yang Ling made his offer, no one else bid to compete.

After successfully purchasing the items, Yang Ling led everyone to leave the auction. However, shortly after leaving, he noticed someone was secretly following them.

He curled up his lips into a sneer, and then led everyone out of the city.

When everyone left the city and came to a remote forest, Yang Ling stopped.

"If you want to follow me, please show yourself and don't hide away." Yang Ling's voice was plain, but it revealed an irresistible pressure.

As soon as he finished speaking, several sharp sword energies suddenly attacked from the front. Yang Ling snorted coldly and rushed out in an instant.

Bang! Bang! A series of crashing sounds rang out, accompanied by several miserable screams.

When the smoke and dust cleared, all that was seen was a group of people lying on the ground in a mess, wailing.

This group of people were all dressed in grey uniforms, and were obviously spies sent by a large sect to monitor them.

Yang Ling's mouth corners slightly raised at this time, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Since you're here, why hide? Come out now!" he shouted sternly.

"Your Excellency is very powerful. I am willing to admit that you are inferior to me!" A sword cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul slowly walked out, clasped his hands and said, "However, we are only following orders. Please don't embarrass us. We don't want to provoke you."

Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, Yang Ling's expression eased a little.

"Go now. I'll spare you this time. If you dare to do it again, I'll kill you!"

Hearing this, the sword cultivator breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't quite understand why Yang Ling chose to let them go, since Yang Ling was willing to show leniency, they naturally would not be ungrateful.

Therefore, the sword cultivator hurriedly bowed to Yang Ling and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Excellency. Goodbye!"

Yang Ling looked at them, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Go back and tell the people behind you, if you dare to harass me again, don't blame me for being rude." "Get out!" After saying this, Yang Ling took the people around him and left the place.

Seeing this, the sword cultivator immediately led his men to run in the opposite direction of Yang Ling and the others. He knew very well that with his limited cultivation, he was no match for Yang Ling and the others.

At this time, Ying Zheng looked indignant, his eyes full of resentment: "Sir, these people are really hateful!"

"Humph! But they are just small fry, there is no need for us to bother with them." Yang Ling snorted coldly, "Let's go, let's continue on our journey." After that, he led the group on their journey again. Not long after, they finally stepped into the Northern Wasteland Mountains that Wang Yue mentioned.

Yang Ling raised his head and looked at the mountains stretching for hundreds of miles ahead, and couldn't help but frowning.

Because, in the center of the mountains ahead, there is a huge city.

There was a strong smell of blood around the city.

And in that city, there is a mountain that towers into the clouds and reaches the sky.

"That is Tianluo Mountain. Legend has it that this is the territory of the ancient demons." Wang Yue pointed to the mountain in the distance and said in a deep voice.

On Tianluo Mountain, the evil aura lingers, which makes people shudder.

"And the secret place we discovered is at the top of Tianluo Mountain." Li Yun added.

Hearing what the two said, Yang Ling nodded: "Let's go! Let's set off, I hope we can find the secret realm soon!"

Then, the group set foot on Tianluo Mountain and headed towards the top of the mountain. Soon, they entered the Beihuang Mountains.

It was almost evening, and everyone decided to temporarily camp near Tianluo Mountain.

When night falls, the sky is dotted with twinkling stars, which is so beautiful that it brings intoxication.

"Chi~~~" At this moment, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly pierced the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge black shadow appeared in the sky, and its wings covered the entire sky.

"Hide quickly..." Wang Yue was about to remind Yang Ling, but it was too late.

In an instant, a black shadow swooped down.

A heart-pounding aura instantly spread, engulfing everyone around.

"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion sounded.

Everyone only felt that the ground beneath their feet shook suddenly.

Although Yang Ling was not injured, he felt a dull pain in his chest.

"Hiss!" He took a breath and a look of horror appeared on his face.

The black shadow just now actually contained the powerful strength of the Jindan period.

How is this possible? Could this monster be the demon king?

The other people were also in a state of disarray. "Damn monster, how dare you sneak attack me!" Boston glared at the black shadow and roared angrily.

Yang Ling stood there quietly, watching the changes in the sky with cold eyes.

“Chi——” “Roar——” “Bang——”

At this moment, the black shadow opened its huge mouth and spewed out a thick black flame.

Yang Ling acted quickly and dispersed the black flames, and the black shadow flapped its wings again.

"Boom!" At the same time, the black shadow roared like thunder.

Then, it swooped down again and pounced towards Yang Ling.

"Hmph!" Yang Ling snorted coldly and slapped out with his palm. In an instant, terrifying power burst out.

"Bang!" The next moment, the two suddenly collided with each other, making a violent explosion. (End of this chapter)
