Chapter 746 The Second Physical Body

Demon Dragon Domain, Stone City.

On the second day of the trade fair, Li Yuan was still wandering around the cave.

The goods on the stone platform had been replaced: several pieces of dragon-type spirit ore, two bottles of dragon-type pills, and a broken magic weapon engraved with dragon patterns.

Li Yuan scanned them one by one, but couldn't find any items with the appropriate affixes that he could equip.

Back in the stone chamber, he sat cross-legged, simultaneously operating the Condensing Essence and Transforming Emptiness Technique and the Netherworld Demon Condensing Technique. The spiritual power of his Nascent Soul core pulsed, and spiritual and demonic energy surged into his body at the same time. The resonance waves of the Enlightenment Tree fell from his personal microcosm into the edge of his sea of ​​consciousness.

After two cycles, the spiritual energy and demonic energy each returned to the core.

Master the art of condensing primordial energy and transforming emptiness.

He was proficient in the Netherworld Condensation Demon Technique.

Li Yuan finished his practice and looked inward. The dark gold-purple light on the surface of the Nascent Soul Core was even deeper, and its density had increased again.

Day three.

The auction was held in a secluded cave at the very bottom of Stone City. The cave walls, hundreds of feet in diameter, were polished smooth, with seats cascading down in tiers, and the central auction platform was covered with restrictive runes.

When Li Yuan entered, the cave was already mostly occupied.

The demon cultivators came in various forms, some humanoid, some half-beast, and some curled up in their seats, still in their beast forms. Many possessed the aura of the Nascent Soul stage, and even more were at the Divine Transformation stage.

Li Yuan chose a seat in the front row, close to the auction stage.

A white python, a black eagle, and a fox demon resembling a humanoid female cultivator sat around him. The white python glanced at Li Yuan, its vertical pupils narrowing slightly, before shifting its gaze away after sensing the aura of a dragon.

The auction has begun.

The first item was the Thousand-Year Dragon Breath Grass. It could enhance the vitality of a dragon-blooded cultivator's blood after consumption. The starting price was five thousand spirit stones, but it was ultimately purchased by a dragon for eight thousand spirit stones.

The second item is a high-grade fourth-tier demon core.

The third, fourth, and fifth items were all spiritual materials and magical artifacts related to the dragon bloodline. Li Yuan sensed each item one by one, but saw no fluctuations in their attributes.

When the sixth item was presented, a piece of dark silver spirit iron was placed on a tray on the table.

Within a three-foot perception range, blue text rippled.

The auctioneer was an old tortoise demon, in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with a loud voice.

"Void Abyss Spirit Iron. Produced in the deep mines of the Northern Territory of the Demon Dragon Domain, it has extremely high spatial properties and can be used for both weapon forging and cultivation. Starting price: 20,000 spirit stones."

Li Yuan raised a sign.

"Twenty-five thousand." The white python beside him followed.

"Thirty thousand," Li Yuan said.

The white python glanced at him but didn't add anything more.

The transaction was completed for 30,000 spirit stones.

The tray was presented to Li Yuan, who picked up the Void Abyss Spirit Iron, and a panel appeared.

Li Yuan put the Void Abyss Spirit Iron into his storage bag.

The auction continues.

After the seventh, eighth, and ninth items, a thumb-sized dark gold bead was presented, with extremely fine dragon patterns flowing on its surface.

A blue text entry then rippled.

"Dragon Soul Condensing Pearl," the old tortoise demon said. "It comes from the edge of the Dragon Clan's sacred land and has an auxiliary effect on the soul cultivation of cultivators with dragon bloodlines."

The starting price is 30,000 spirit stones.

Several dragon-related demon beasts in the audience simultaneously raised their placards.

The price quickly rose to 50,000.

"Sixty thousand," Li Yuan said.

A powerful demon dragon turned and glanced at him, then put down the sign after a moment.

The transaction was completed for 60,000 spirit stones.

The Dragon Soul Concentrating Pearl was presented to Li Yuan. Li Yuan picked up the pearl.

The current blood concentration is 50%, still 10% short.

Li Yuan put the beads into his storage bag.

The eleventh and twelfth items were auctioned off in succession.

When the thirteenth item was presented, Li Yuan sat up straighter.

A dark wooden box was brought to the auction stage. The lid was opened, revealing a dark red crystal the size of a walnut, its surface finely textured and pulsating like a miniature heart.

Within a three-foot perception range, the red text fluctuated deeply.

The old turtle demon's voice also became a bit heavier.

"Heart Core. Originates from a mysterious place in the Upper Realm, a rare find even once every thousand years. However, its application is limited. Starting price: 200,000 spirit stones."

The cave was quiet for several breaths.

Li Yuan has already previewed the effect of the entry:

At the Nascent Soul stage or above, an additional physical body can be cultivated. Both bodies can cultivate simultaneously, fully sharing sensory organs, and offering permanent additional benefits.

After the physical body is destroyed, one can permanently improve one's essence, energy, and spirit, up to a maximum of 50% at a time.

"Two hundred thousand." A black python was the first to raise its paddle.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand," the fox demon followed.

"Three hundred thousand," the black python raised its bid.

Li Yuan didn't rush to speak; he first glanced at his storage bag.

The previous resale profits were considerable, enough to buy cultivation techniques, spiritual veins, and the Myriad Talisman Spirit Platform. Two more items were also purchased, and most of the spirit stones have already been used up. What remains isn't enough, but the Cangxuan Realm ores and lower realm spiritual materials can still be discounted.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand," the fox demon added.

"Four hundred thousand," Li Yuan said.

Several pairs of eyes fell on them at the same time.

The black python turned its head and glanced at him, its vertical pupils icy cold.

The fox demon hesitated for a moment.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand."

Li Yuan remained silent for two breaths.

"Five hundred thousand. Spirit stones plus ore."

He took out a storage bag and pushed it in front of him. Inside were dozens of high-quality spatial ores and spiritual materials from the Cangxuan Realm, worth about 150,000 spirit stones. With the remaining spirit stones, he had just made up the required amount.

The old tortoise demon looked at the fox demon.

The fox demon shook her head.

The black python remained silent.

"Sold for 500,000."

A dark wooden box was presented to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan handed over the spirit stones and ore storage bag, and picked up the dark red crystal from the wooden box.

It feels slightly warm to the touch, and a pulsating sensation travels from the crystal to the palm.

[Equipable item detected: Heart Core]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Second Body - Red]

Effects: At the Nascent Soul stage or above, an additional physical body can be cultivated. The two bodies can cultivate in parallel, sharing all senses. Permanent additional effect: After the physical body is destroyed, it can permanently increase essence, energy and spirit, up to 50% at the same time.

After looking at the panel, Li Yuan put the core into his storage bag, but didn't equip anything.

He got up and left the auction house, crossed the stone city, and returned to the stone room he rented.

The stone gate was closed.

Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, took out the core, looked at it for a moment, and then put it back into his storage bag.

The spirit stones are almost all used up, and most of the ore has been extracted. Next, I need to make another trip to the Cangxuan Realm to restock.

He closed his eyes, and the spiritual energy of the three attributes circulated and flowed, while the Condensing Essence and Transforming Emptiness Technique and the Netherworld Condensing Demon Technique were activated simultaneously. The core of his Nascent Soul Transformation trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into it.
