The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 202 The Secret of the Grandmaster! The Tribulation of Inner Demons? Three Realms, Abundant Source Crystal Resources

Seeing Ru Xue say this with a slightly mysterious air, Lu Ye's heart stirred.

Could it be that they sold it for a rather ideal price?

"I naturally have faith in Miss Ruxue's abilities." Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "You bid for ten Origin Crystals?"

Previously in Yunye City, the final price of the Innate Breaking Source Pill at auction was 110 million silver.

As for Source Crystals... they can't actually be bought with silver under normal circumstances.

Even if you could buy one, the price wouldn't be less than ten or twenty million.

Therefore, the ten source crystals that Lu Ye guessed, even if calculated in silver terms, would probably be worth over 150 million.

Unexpectedly, Ru Xue shook her head and said with some pride, "You underestimate Ru Xue too much. The Innate Source Breaking Pill... I gave you fourteen Source Crystals!"

Hearing this number, Lu Ye was somewhat surprised. Are cultivators in the Eastern Territory... really that wealthy?
Looking at Lu Ye, who finally showed surprise and was no longer expressionless, Ru Xue said with a little excitement, "Young Master Chen, did Ru Xue do a good job?"

"Miss Ruxue truly lives up to her title as chief auctioneer," Lu Ye praised.

"It just so happens that a certain force needs the Innate Breakthrough Pill to increase their chances of breaking through to the next realm, which is why it was auctioned off at this price." Ru Xue smiled slightly, then her gaze lingered on Lu Ye.

"Um... I wonder if Ruxue could become friends with Young Master Chen?"

Her snow-white eyes held a hint of expectation.

The power behind someone who can cultivate a figure who ranks twenty-second on the Dongcang Stone Tablet List is probably no less than that of Fang Zhiyu's Tianxuan Sect!

"Of course, I would be more than happy to become friends with Miss Ruxue." Lu Ye nodded calmly, speaking off the cuff. After all, he had transmigrated from Blue Star and had seen far too much of the ways of the world.

Hearing Lu Ye's words, Ru Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she said those words, although she felt that Lu Ye probably wouldn't refuse, since having more friends meant having more options, she was still a little nervous.

"By the way, something big happened tonight, Young Master Chen, have you heard?" Ru Xue said, suddenly remembering something.

"What big thing is it?" Lu Ye asked, intrigued.

Ru Xue's expression turned somewhat solemn as she slowly said, "Not long ago, a strange phenomenon appeared outside Dongcang City!"

"According to Elder Yuan, who is in charge of our Chamber of Commerce... this is a scene of a peerless genius, ranked among the top 100 divine bodies in the world, cultivating with all his might!"

"That scene was truly spectacular, but unfortunately, Ru Xue was presiding over the auction at the time and was unable to witness it in person."

"I never expected that such a peerless figure, who would make even the most outstanding talents pale in comparison, could emerge in the eastern region of Xuanzhou. I just wonder who this person is."

Ru Xue sighed, "Such a prodigy, one in a thousand years, truly arouses our curiosity."

Lu Ye: “…”

He fully unleashed the Star Body and the Star Scripture, simply to break through the late-stage barrier of the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm.

After leaving Baichuan Auction House, Lu Ye's storage ring contained more than a dozen more Origin Crystals, replenishing his savings to one hundred Origin Crystals.

This time, Lu Ye used his movement technique to travel hundreds of miles away, find a secluded place, and cultivate for a whole night.

During this time, as Lu Ye continued to practice the Four Divine Ancient Seals, he gradually mastered the two ancient seals he acquired later.

"The supernatural powers are indeed powerful, but the difficulty of getting started is much higher than that of the Heavenly Rank secret manuals."

Lu Ye shook his head slightly. If it were a Heaven-Rank manual, he should have already reached the proficiency or even minor mastery level by now.

As he watched the first glimmer of dawn appear on the horizon and the stars gradually fade away, Lu Ye completed a full cycle of his internal energy and got up to return to the city.

Midway through the auction, I unexpectedly received another voice notification from Ru Xue, informing me of the items to be auctioned on the third day, which was also the last day of the day.

After listening, Lu Ye's eyes narrowed. Compared to the auctions of the previous two days, this last day was the most important auction of the entire trading event!
During the final day of the auction, an ancient weapon appeared that was damaged and had lost most of its power! The Starfall Spirit Sword!
Even though it is damaged and has lost much of its power, the Starfall Spirit Sword is still assessed as a high-grade true artifact.

Mortal, Mysterious, Spiritual, True...

The higher the grade of a magical artifact, the rarer and more precious it is, and it cannot be crafted by anyone but a powerful artifact refiner.

A top-grade artifact... even a grandmaster would be tempted by it.

As Ru Xue mentioned in the message, the final auction was also an extremely important day for the Baichuan Chamber of Commerce.

One of their two Grandmasters, who is also the source of their confidence in the Xuanzhou chain, will personally come to oversee things tomorrow night!
"A Grandmaster?"

A faint glint flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

A Grandmaster is a cultivator who truly stands above everyone else in the Northern Territory!
Information about Grandmasters that I had collected during this period flashed through my mind.

The realm of a Grandmaster is different from that of a Master. In the realm of a Master, one cannot open up the source vein.

Even if five Grandmasters at the ninth level of perfection were to face a Grandmaster at the first level who had opened up his Origin Meridian, they would only end up defeated!

Most importantly, at the Grandmaster level, there will be three challenges.

Any one of these techniques would be enough to block out the Grandmaster realm, which is considered lofty and unattainable by eight or nine out of ten people.

Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, Grandmasters of the Earth Realm, and... Grandmasters of the Heaven Realm!

After a Grandmaster in the Mortal Realm overcomes the physical tribulation, they can advance to the Grandmaster in the Earth Realm.

Earth Realm Grandmasters need to overcome the tribulations of their souls before they can advance to the Heaven Realm!

From then on, even if the physical body perishes, the soul can be preserved for a long time and will not easily dissipate.

What the Grandmasters of the Heavenly Realm need to face is the inner demon tribulation that all Grandmasters throughout history have been extremely afraid of!

The concept of inner demons has always been a manifestation of the weaknesses in human nature.

Although it may seem powerless, if there is a weakness, the inner demon will amplify that weakness and launch an endless attack!
Therefore, among the three great tribulations, the tribulation of inner demons is the one that comes after becoming a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Realm, and the path to transcendence beyond that is the most difficult.

However, Lu Ye thought about it...

It seems that there are very few scenarios that can cause inner demons in me.

"Grandmaster realm... almost there."

Lu Ye's eyes deepened slightly as he absorbed the hundred Origin Crystals in his hand, and with the hundredfold amplification...

He should have a great chance of touching this solid barrier that has trapped a large number of Grandmasters at the ninth level for ten thousand years in the Northern Territory!

Meanwhile, in Yunye City, at the Jiang family's residence.

As dawn broke, Jiang Qingge, dressed only in her pajamas, got out of bed, feeling somewhat troubled by her current situation.

Two days have passed since the last time Lu Ye and Lu Ye exchanged messages.

At this moment, Jiang Qingge's cultivation level had clearly advanced significantly from the sixth level of the Condensation Source Realm.

Jiang Qingge has been suffering from insomnia ever since the blood moon appeared the night before last.

Last night... she couldn't help but go to the outer courtyard house where Lu Ye used to live, and took a nap to replenish her energy.
