Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"The Yaochi Palace auction is about to officially begin!"

When Lu Tiandu's figure suddenly appeared somewhere in the void hundreds of feet above the center of Tianyuan City, an extremely huge ball of five-colored light appeared as Lu Tiandu waved his sleeves.

Countless cultivators who had been paying attention to this moment released their spiritual senses to sense the changes in the five-colored light balls in the air, with expectant looks on their faces.

The next moment, as Lu Tiandu moved his ten fingers and cast out a series of spells, the five-colored light ball in the air changed dramatically.

A breath later, an extremely huge circular building appeared in everyone's consciousness.

This circular building is colorful, spans ten miles, and is about several hundred feet high. It looks like a small city carved from jade. It looks magnificent and majestic.

A closer look revealed that the outer walls of the building were covered with gold and silver runes, clearly some kind of powerful restrictive force.

In the four directions of east, west, south and north of this circular building, four void gates about several hundred feet high are extremely conspicuous.

"My fellow Taoists, the first auction of Yaochi Palace is about to begin. Taoists who have received invitation letters can enter the auction venue with the letters!"

The next moment, Lu Tiandu’s faint voice instantly spread throughout Tianyuan City.

Although most of the cultivators in Tianyuan City were already very familiar with Lu Tiandu's face since he took office as the commander-in-chief of Tianwei, more than half of the cultivators at this auction were from the three realms. When they saw Lu Tiandu for the first time, many of them stared at him intently.

Ever since the Ye family and the Min family joined forces with the ladies of the Yao Chi Palace to host this auction, and received many items sent in by many cultivators on the eve of the auction, the auction, which was originally planned to last only one day and hold a dozen sessions, was finally decided to be held for three days.

The first day was prepared for the majority of Nascent Soul cultivators, and most of the items auctioned here were provided by the Ye family.

The second day is a special session for the Spiritualization cultivators, and the third day is a special session for the Void Refinement cultivators.

However, this special auction can also be attended by those Jinhua cultivators who meet certain conditions, and cultivators below the Lianxu stage are not completely excluded. For example, the Wangxian Pill, which has an extremely high price but can directly help cultivators advance to the Lianxu stage, will appear in this auction.

As for this circular mustard seed cave that is specially used for holding auctions, it was naturally made by the ladies of Yao Chi Palace many years ago specifically for holding auctions.

Not to mention the numerous profound and mysterious magic arrays and restrictions inside, just the fact that each of the 100,000 flying houses in the Mustard Seed Cave has a teleportation array connected to the outside world is enough to show that the women had put a lot of thought into this Mustard Seed Cave.

Moreover, as long as one enters the flying hut with an area of ​​about dozens of square meters, even a cultivator in the late stage of fusion will not be able to find out the identity of the bidders inside. It can be said that the identities of the cultivators participating in the auction are kept completely confidential.

After the trade fair is over, the teleportation array in the Flying Hut will spontaneously teleport the monks inside to a random place in Tianyuan City.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the cultivators who have won valuable items being targeted by robbers.

Moreover, because of Lu Tiandu's identity as the commander-in-chief of the Tianwei, during the auction, the number of patrol teams not only in Tianyuan City but also in the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles increased several times, so no one dared to act wildly here.

As Lu Tiandu finished speaking, colorful beams of light rose into the sky from all over Tianyuan City and headed straight for the circular building in the sky.

These Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators came to a position not far from Lu Tian one by one, bowed and saluted, and then entered the four light gates one by one.

As for the Mustard Seed Cave, cultivators from the Ye and Min families had already been entertaining them, so Lu Tian naturally didn't need to worry about anything.

As for the female cultivators of Yao Chi Palace, except for a few who are in charge of the venue, most of them will only appear at the auction on the last day.

In fact, today's auction was packed, mainly because these Jindan and Yuanying cultivators had never seen this legendary mustard seed cave, and regardless of whether they were auctioning anything or not, they all wanted to go in and take a look.

As for the ticket price of a mid-level spirit stone, it is just a small thing.

Even so, the ticket fees collected from these Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators on that day alone amounted to nearly 200 million spirit stones, which shows that earning spirit stones is very simple in some cases.

Even so, due to the limited number of sessions on that day, many monks who did not get an invitation were still disappointed!
A moment later, amid the surge of people, Lu Tiandu also entered the light gate!
As the first auction since the birth of Yao Chi Palace, he will also be in charge of the auction for the next three days!
When the first auction ended, as many Jindan and Yuanying cultivators who were fortunate enough to participate in the first auction left, everything that happened in the Yao Chi Palace auction house also caused quite a stir in Tianyuan City.

At this moment, in a special flying hut, Ye Yu watched the monks bidding enthusiastically at the auction, with a smile on her face. At this moment, she sighed:

“I haven’t seen such a grand auction in many years!”

"One mid-level spirit stone can give me a rough tour of the Mustard Seed Cave. Even if I'm a low-level cultivator, I can still afford it!"

Lu Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, it takes a long time to hold a grand auction every hundred years. In this case, why don't we arrange time to hold a small auction in each of the three imperial cities to make our Yaochi Palace famous. What do you think, my husband?"

Ye Yu said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"You and Wan'er decide for yourselves. How big the Yao Chi Palace's auction business can be depends on your abilities! If one day you can make Yao Chi Palace famous throughout the wilderness, it will be something worth celebrating!"

Lu Tiandu said.

With the fame of this auction, if a small auction is held in the three imperial cities every thirty years, there will naturally be a lot of cultivators participating, and the profit of spirit stones will naturally not be less.

With the strength of Yao Chi Palace, not to mention the five or six early and middle stage fusion cultivators who are in charge, including the other void refining cultivators and the combined secret techniques, it would be easy for them to fight against more than ten or twenty fusion cultivators.

Therefore, within the territories of both humans and demons, there is no force that can threaten the Yao Chi Palace.

“That’s a great goal!”

Wang Yun, who was quite interested in business, smiled and her beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this.

As everyone was talking, time passed by quickly and soon it was time for the last auction of this auction.

At this moment, still in this special flying house, Lu Tian thought of the situations of the auctions yesterday and today, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

At the special auction for the Spiritualization, whether it was the ninety pieces of Seven Cloud Lotus that could allow Spiritualization cultivators to directly advance to a lower level, or other elixirs that could improve cultivation, such as the Bright Jade Pill, Purple Sun Pill, and True Toad Liquid, they all sold for sky-high prices. And at today's special auction for the Refining Void Combination, when one of the Nine Spiritual Ganoderma was presented as a hot item, the competition among the cultivators in the flying huts was fierce, far exceeding the competition for the immature Nine Spiritual Ganoderma when he participated in the Tianling City auction that year.

Finally, when this Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma was sold at a sky-high price of 1.2 billion spirit stones, Lu Tiandu realized that some of the old forces really had deep foundations and huge wealth.

In fact, on the eve of the auction, both the Holy Island and other old forces like the ten major sects wanted to contact the Yao Chi Palace through him privately to trade the Nine-Hearted Spirit Ganoderma, Wangxian Pill, and Mustard Seed Cave, but he refused them all.

Needless to say, those who are willing to pay such a huge price for the opportunity to advance to the next stage of fusion can only be old forces.

After all, although ordinary cultivators in the early stage of fusion have considerable wealth, they may not be able to take out more than 1 billion spirit stones at a time.

As for the Wangxian Pills that appeared one after another, the final transaction price was basically no less than 300 million spirit stones.

Lu Tian naturally didn't know that Xiang Zhili, with a painful look on his face, gritted his teeth and bought one with his good friend Feng Laoguai.

As for Han Li, although he did not have enough spirit stones on him, he still took out several rare thousand-year-old spiritual medicines to make up the spirit stones and bought one.

Also in a flying hut somewhere, the cultivator from the Xu family where Fairy Bingpo was located finally gave up the idea of ​​fighting for the Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma and also bid for a Wangxian Pill.

As for the other seven Wangxian Pills, they were each taken into the pockets of wealthy cultivators.

In addition to the two Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma that were sold at sky-high prices, a Tribulation Puppet, three Mustard Seed Caves and more than twenty top-level spiritual treasures were also sold at sky-high prices exceeding one billion spirit stones.

And when the last Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma was finally placed on the auction table, it also heralded the end of the first auction after the birth of Yao Chi Palace!
Just as the teleportation arrays lit up and teleported all the cultivators in the flying huts away, a female cultivator in the late stage of fusion from the Yao Chi Palace disguised as You Luo suddenly appeared in the void.

Immediately afterwards, as countless cultivators in Tianyuan City watched, Youluo spread out his wide sleeves, put away his mustard seed cave, and lightly blasted open the void with his palm. The next moment, he stepped into the void and disappeared!
After the grand auction, countless cultivators in the three realms of the human race passed on the mystery of the Yao Chi Palace by word of mouth, but the Yao Chi Palace once again kept a low profile as if it had no such power.

However, at the end of the auction, the monk who presided over the auction at Yao Chi Palace announced that the second grand auction would be held at the same time and place a hundred years later, and the news spread widely.

After hearing the news that the specifications of the items in the next grand auction would not be lower than this grand auction, which surprised countless cultivators, the name of Yao Chi Palace appeared frequently among human cultivators again.

As for the news that a small auction will be held in each of the three imperial cities in the next hundred years, it seems much more indifferent under the impact of the news of the next big auction.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and five years have passed in a flash.

Five years later, in the Boundless Sea where the human and demon races meet, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and the figures of Lu Tiandu and Youluo appeared out of thin air. The next moment, as Youluo tore the void again, the two disappeared again.

In the five years since the grand auction, Lu Tian has been accompanying the girls who have not yet gone into seclusion, apart from his cultivation.

Five years later, the women now worshipped the Holy Kunwu Mountain and practiced while traveling through the three realms of the human race, while Lu Tiandu embarked on a journey to the territory of the Feiling tribe.

The territories of the human and demon races are located in the northwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, where the Boundless Sea connects to a wild sea area.

The Feiling Clan is located in the southwest corner of Fengyuan Continent, also close to a wild sea area.

The two are separated by countless billions of miles. In the original plot, when Han Li set foot on the Feiling tribe's territory for the second time, he was in the middle stage of the fusion cultivation. His escape speed was no less than that of the late stage of the fusion. He took the land route, crossed many alien territories, experienced many dangers, and flew for eighty years before arriving at the Feiling tribe.

When Han Li advanced to the Mahayana stage and set foot on the Feiling tribe for the third time, because he was stronger at this moment and was not afraid of the various ferocious beasts in the ocean, he was able to step into the sea at a faster speed and arrived at the Feiling tribe in just over two years.

Therefore, with Youluo, a master who has refined most of the fire crocodile crystal cores and has the Xuantian Soul-Slaying Sword at his side, and whose strength is no weaker than that of a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Lu Tian also chose to cross the sea to reach the Feiling Clan.

This time when he arrived at the Feiling tribe, in addition to collecting the true blood of some bird spirits, the Feiling tribe's special spiritual medicines, pill recipes, and the secret art of the Twelve Changes of Jingzhe, most of Lu Tiandu's targets were in the secret place of the Styx controlled by the Mayfly tribe.

This place of the Styx mentioned by the foreign cultivators was undoubtedly the space formed from the body of an adult Luohou after his death. Naturally, Lu Tian had no idea where in the void crack or space layer it was located.

As for whether there is any inheritance or legacy left by the fallen Luohu in this secret space after his death, Lu Tian doesn't know anything else except the Styx Divine Milk that is visible on the surface.

But even so, he still wanted Youluo to explore this place personally.

Even if one cannot obtain the inheritance of the fallen Rāhu, the countless Netherworldly auras remaining in the Styx and the demon tombs within it still present considerable opportunities.

According to Lu Tiandu's understanding of the original plot, generally speaking, there are three routes to the Styx:
One of them is naturally to be teleported into the Styx through the entrance left behind by the plankton clan after they set up the ban.

The second is to know the spatial coordinates of the Styx Land, similar to the Mahayana monks such as Qing Yuanzi and Jin Yanhou who hid from the heavenly tribulation in the Styx Land, and directly tear the space outside to enter the Styx Land. The first time Han Li was sent out of the Styx Land by Qing Yuanzi with the help of the formation was also a similar method.

The last way is to first enter the trial place of the Abyss controlled by the Feiling Clan. On the seventh level of the Abyss, use the secret technique of blood sacrifice to lure the Sky-Jing Demon in the Styx, a demon that can travel through space and leave void channels, into the Styx.

The first path can only be skipped because it requires dealing with the Mayfly Clan and may also involve the opportunity to plot against the Styx, which the Mayfly Clan regards as a secret place.

Although the Mayfly Clan cannot compare to the super clans such as the Horned Chi Clan and the Sea King Clan that roam the spiritual world, they are also existences that cannot be underestimated.

There are about ten great masters in their tribe, and they are also good at controlling strange insects to defeat the enemies. Their overall strength ranks among the top ten in the spiritual world. In the entire Fengyuan Continent, they are only slightly weaker than the Jiatun tribe.

Without sufficient benefits, Lu Tian was naturally unwilling to confront such an ethnic group head-on.

As for the second item, which is also about an internal staff member whom we don’t know, we can only skip it.

Therefore, the safest path that Lu Tiandu chose was naturally to enter the Styx through the abyss.

Although the Diyuan is regarded by the Feiling tribe as a place for internal trials and is also sealed off. It is usually guarded by more than ten combined monks, but this obvious seal is equivalent to nothing to Youluo. It can be said that he can enter and exit at will according to his heart.

As for why Lu Tiandu rushed to the Feiling tribe at this time and prepared to enter the Styx through the Earth Abyss, according to the time calculation, it was only a dozen or twenty years since the five demon kings of the Earth Abyss first broke into the Styx.

With the five great demon kings of the Earth Abyss leading the way, he and Youluo only need to sit back and reap the fruits of their labor, and then enter the Land of the Styx to search for opportunities! (End of this chapter)
