Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 157 Escape
"Boom boom boom!", magma gushed out with scorching flames, instantly breaking open the roof of the auction house.

The monks around no longer cared about anything at this time and all attacked the walls of the auction.

Although the walls of the auction house were built with special materials and had strong defensive capabilities, they could not even hold out for a breath under the desperate attacks of a group of monks.

At the same time as the auction wall was destroyed, a large number of monks were engulfed by the gushing flames and magma.

In the end, before the auction venue collapsed, the number of monks who rushed out of the auction venue was less than two hundred.

Li Zhen was very careful to hide himself. He was not the first one to rush out of the auction venue, nor was he the last one.

With his strength at the second level of body refining, he could leave easily even if he intentionally concealed his strength.

And when he left, there were more than twenty storage bags in the Dragon Heart Space. These were the storage bags of all the monks who died within the perception range of his spiritual creatures.

If he had not acted quickly enough, the storage bag would have been destroyed by the flames. This was a powerful second-level spell.

After leaving the auction venue, Li Zhen observed the situation outside.

He discovered that in the sky, a True Foundation Establishment cultivator was facing three Half-Step Foundation Establishment cultivators face to face. Perhaps the True Foundation Establishment cultivator's strength far exceeded that of the Half-Step Foundation Establishment cultivator, but in a one-on-three situation, especially in a large formation, the True Foundation Establishment cultivator also needed to be careful.

He guessed that this Foundation Establishment True Cultivator was the Haoyue Sect's Foundation Establishment True Cultivator. He didn't want to get involved, let alone be implicated.

He quickened his pace and walked into a small alley. As soon as he entered the alley, he put on the 'Invisibility Black Jade' and turned on invisibility.

He moved in the shadows of various buildings, moving away from the main battlefield.

The battle that Li Zhen expected did not begin. When two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Haoyue Sect flew out from the auction venue and joined the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Haoyue Sect in the sky, two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Cuihong Sect also flew into the air and joined the confrontation.

Especially when the auction venue was destroyed, the seven half-step foundation-building cultivators who originally wanted to hide their identities had their identities exposed. They did not need the reminders of the Cuihong Sect's foundation-building cultivators, and joined the confrontation and stood on the side of the Cuihong Sect.

They had no choice. Their own power depended on the Cuihong Sect for survival. If they hid their identities, they might dare to be lazy and not work hard.

But now they have nowhere to hide their identities, and can only join the side fighting against Haoyue Sect.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators of Haoyue Sect were not going to be stubborn at this time and fight with so many Foundation Establishment cultivators and those who were half-step to the Foundation Establishment. Almost as soon as the seven those who were half-step to the Foundation Establishment expressed their attitude, they immediately made the most sensible choice and turned around and left.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from Cuihong Sect really wanted to keep them, but when they looked at the ten Half-Step Foundation Establishment cultivators beside them, they had no choice but to give up the pursuit.

Even though there are ten Half-Step Foundation Establishment Warriors standing on his side, it is hard to say how much contribution they can make in a real battle.

Besides, when the Haoyue Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators left, these Half-Step Foundation Establishment cultivators showed a relieved look, which showed one could tell what they were thinking. Would they let two of them go and hunt down three Haoyue Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators?

"Hanmeifang City should handle the aftermath!" said the Cuihong Sect's foundation-building cultivator in a deep voice.

After saying this, the two Cuihong Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators did not stay for long. They hurried back to report to the sect.

As for what the three Hanmeifang City half-step foundation-building people were thinking, it was none of their business.

The three Hanmei Market Masters who were half a step away from building their foundation looked at the destroyed market, especially the large area centered on the auction venue that was destroyed by magma and flames. They were simply in tears.

However, the biggest loss this time is the reputation of Hanmeifang City. Such a big incident happened at the auction held by Hanmeifang City. I am afraid that there will not be many cultivators who want to organize such activities in Hanmeifang City in the future.

Reputation is the foundation of a market. The good reputation that Hanmei Market has built up over the years has been completely destroyed because of this incident.

Fortunately, even if more cultivators died, Hanmei Market would not need to pay compensation, because the lives of casual cultivators were worthless.

Li Zhen didn't care about the aftermath of Hanmeifang City. He walked around outside, found a place to change into his clothes, and returned to Caiqi Pavilion in a grand manner.

As soon as he entered the Fortune Pavilion, he found that the atmosphere was not right.

After asking, I found out that six of the staff members of the Fortune Pavilion had not returned, and there was no response to the sound transmission talisman sent out. In this case, it goes without saying that something had happened, and they should be among the dead monks.

Among the more than 2,000 monks in the auction venue alone, only 200 survived, not counting the monks who died outside the auction venue.

Li Zhen shook his head, he returned to his residence, and to see if he still had time, he began to practice.

He did not check his harvest now, nor did he plan to check his harvest in the ancient cultivation world. He remained cautious and did not dare to look down on any cultivator, especially since the harvest this time included the sect's spiritual objects.

After three hours of practice, when he opened his eyes, he saw a sound transmission note floating in the void.

He stretched out his hand to summon the sound transmission note, which was sent by Gu Siqi, asking him to meet after he finished his training.

He sent back a note transmission sound, then left his residence and came to the small building where Gu Siqi was.

This small building is now where Gu Siqi works and lives. A separate formation has been set up to separate it from the Wealth Pavilion.

"Come here. I heard you were back. Fortunately, you were not in danger!" Gu Siqi looked Li Zhen up and down and did not find any injury to Li Zhen, so she said with a smile.

"I'm lucky!" Li Zhen waved his hand and said.

"You should spend more time drawing mid-grade talismans recently, not only for selling. After discussing with Manager Fang, I have decided to equip the guys in the pavilion with a large number of the mid-grade talismans you drew!" Gu Siqi said as he poured spiritual tea for Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was stunned. He thought that after this conflict and the end of the auction, the mid-grade talismans he drew would no longer be as popular as before. Now it seems that he was wrong.

"War is coming, Hanmeifang City is no longer safe, and Manager Fang and I can only protect Caiqi Pavilion when no Jindan Zhenren comes forward!" Gu Siqi said with a sigh.

Li Zhen also thought about it. According to the strength of Caiqi Pavilion and the other three large merchants, they all transferred the shop staff in Fancheng to Hanmei Market. In this way, each shop would have at least two people who were practicing foundation building.

There are as many as eight Foundation Establishment cultivators. With such strong power, if they really come out to protect Hanmeifang City, even if three Foundation Establishment cultivators from Haoyue Sect come, they will not dare to provoke them here.

Of course he knew that this was impossible. Large business forces were able to do business everywhere, and their principle was not to interfere in local disputes.

The price that the local forces paid was not to actively attack the shops of large business forces. Just like this time, the foundation-building cultivator of the Haoyue Sect attacked many places in Hanmeifang City, but did not touch the four shops at all.

"I will try my best to increase the drawing of mid-grade talismans!" Li Zhen made a promise.

"Don't worry. Even if it's a mid-quality talisman for our own equipment, we will buy it from you at the market price. The price of talismans has gone up a lot recently!" Gu Siqi was worried about what Li Zhen might think, so she explained.

"If nothing else, I'll go into seclusion!" Li Zhen said goodbye.

He returned to his residence, activated his spatial magical power and returned to the wilderness of the demon kingdom.

It was still dark outside. Over the past few days, he had become accustomed to completing the fortress's hunting missions in the dark.

It can be said that as he possesses the heart of a dragon, he can crush first- and second-level monsters. However, he can only complete the hunting mission alone. If others really discover that he can stimulate the dragon's power, it will be extremely troublesome.

The hunting mission was completed, and when he returned to Aoki University Fortress, it was just dawn.

After handing in the quest items and earning a few credits, he went to sell the monster corpses. After completing these, he returned to Aoki University through the space crack.

There was still more than an hour before the morning class. Li Zhen returned to the dormitory and after calming himself down, he began to check his gains.

As soon as he entered the Dragon Heart Space, he saw a second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill floating in the air. As his mind moved slightly, a jade bottle flew out and put the second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill into it.

That is to say, the medicinal power in the Dragon Heart Space will not be lost. Otherwise, if the Second-Level Intermediate-Grade Breakthrough Pill is placed in this way, the medicinal power will continue to dissipate, which will greatly affect the effect of the Second-Level Intermediate-Grade Breakthrough Pill.
