Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1175: Black Goods_2

The cultivator’s eyes lit up instantly, worried that things might change, he nodded repeatedly, saying: "Alright!"

In a place unseen, a cold smile tugged at the corner of Li Zhirui’s lips as they both flew into the depths of the mountains.

In reality, this cultivator was not looking to team up for training but specialized in harming lone cultivators.

As for how he managed to survive until now, first, he had keen eyesight and never chose cultivators with higher cultivation or those with extraordinary backgrounds; second, he mastered a Secret Technique, which allowed him to not only change appearance at will but also alter Spiritual Soul fluctuations, thus appearing as a new cultivator every time.

However, unbeknownst to him, Li Zhirui had discerned a clue about his identity, having mastered the Purification Principle, he was extremely sensitive to Evil Qi and grievances. This person was shrouded in heavy grievance and Death Energy, even attacking from time to time, clearly abnormal.

Certainly, the beings that died through normal combat and slaughter would not leave behind such thick grievances.

If other cultivators weren’t around, Li Zhirui would have preferred to slap him to death, yet as soon as they entered the depths of the mountains, he captured him in an instant.

"You!"

He barely uttered a word, seeming to understand something, his face turning desperate.

Li Zhirui certainly wasn’t out of goodwill, the biggest factor was wanting to know how he managed to harm so many cultivators and still live quite well.

It wasn’t long before he obtained a "Ten Thousand Faces and Forms Changing Secret Method."

As for other Spiritual Objects, few caught his eye, only one previously unseen ninth-level Spiritual Medicine, and a piece of Loose Immortal Grade spirit ore.

According to Li Zhirui’s discerning eye, it was indeed an excellent Secret Technique, capable of better altering one’s identity without worrying about flaws.

Had he not mastered the Purification Principle, he might not have detected the person’s irregularities.

One must know that the gap in their cultivation and realm was vast, yet Li Zhirui had no perception, indicating the Secret Technique’s prowess.

He wasn’t very informed about the Earth Immortal’s means, but Human Immortals presumably couldn’t discern the Secret Technique’s veils.

Though Li Zhirui wasn’t a Human Immortal, both of his children were Divine in the Realm of Human Immortality, he gained considerable knowledge from them.

Speaking of, he possessed quite a clear understanding of Human Immortals, maybe breaking through to Human Immortal in the future wouldn’t pose too much of an obstacle or threshold.

...

Roar!

A burst of furious roar echoed in the mountains, massive clouds of dust rose, followed by a loud boom and the earth trembling.

"Finally settled this Devil Beast!"

Li Zhirui exhaled lightly, looking at the Devil Beast corpse before him, over a hundred zhang in size, resembling a small mountain.

It was now the fifth month since he entered the Laxia Mountain Range!

In over these hundred days, he roamed battling Devil Beasts, including the one before him, the Devil Beasts of the Individual Immortal Realm slain by Li Zhirui numbered five.

This was among the most formidable, truly costing him numerous means, even deploying vast amounts of Mana, or else it might not have been slain here.

The combat posed effects on Li Zhirui’s bottleneck, yet they weren’t significant.

Fortunately, he wasn’t eager to break through, capable of patience, seizing the time to sort out his own cultivation, slowly refining.

Besides, he discovered many Spiritual Objects, but they were quite ordinary, without encountering treasures.

"Time to return."

Approaching the Purple Stone Auction, Li Zhirui hadn’t forgotten the tickets obtained by purchasing several bottles of Precious Pills.

Yet unexpected difficulties arose on the return journey.

Along the way, Li Zhirui encountered several Devil Beasts of the Individual Immortal Realm, numerous enough to astonish him.

’Is the Devil Race planning to launch a beast tide?’

If it were a beast tide, there wouldn’t be only a few High-level Devil Beasts, could treasures be surfacing? These High-level Devil Beasts might have rushed here to guard Spiritual Objects, which would make sense.

’Should I follow to check it out?’

Li Zhirui’s intense curiosity swiftly led to a decision, stealthily following to see what Spiritual Object the Devil Race discovered.

It wasn’t long before he followed the Devil Beasts to the destination, witnessing the Spiritual Objects they guarded, his heart was startled.

The number of Devil Beasts was beyond his imagination, and their strength formidable, with several Human Immortal Realm Devil Beasts.

’Blood Transformation Root!’

As an Alchemy Master, Li Zhirui remembered all recorded Spiritual Objects. View the correct content at NovelFire

Its name alone revealed it as a Spiritual Object capable of transforming the bloodline within the body, insignificant to cultivators, but to the Devil Race, it was a critical treasure!

Though only a few Human Immortal Realm Devil Beasts were present now, their numbers would soon double, the appearance of Earth Immortals couldn’t be ruled out.

Thus, upon recognizing the Spiritual Object, Li Zhirui promptly chose to withdraw, daring not to linger.

However, unexpectedly, upon returning to the temporary Cave Mansion in mere days, news spread rapidly, claiming that a Great Ability Earth Immortal defeated the Devil Beasts and seized the Blood Transformation Root!

"Incredible! To snatch the Spiritual Object right under the eyes of so many Devil Beasts."

Li Zhirui sighed, shaking his head, murmuring: "With the Devil Race’s temperament, they’ll certainly retaliate on the Immortal Tao with a beast tide shortly."

"Just hope it doesn’t erupt days before the auction."

Should a major conflict influence, tensions arise, it remained uncertain if the auction would proceed smoothly, rendering his efforts on Spiritual Objects wasted.

Fortunately, the auction took place smoothly!

Finally, on the starting day, countless cultivators donned attire defying Divine Sense and prying eyes early on. Upon ticket verification, an additional layer of protection ensured privacy wasn’t compromised.

Li Zhirui naturally joined the crowd entering the interior, a broad hall accommodating at least two thousand people, alongside six more floors, with fewer private rooms and stronger cultivators the higher.

Ding ding ding—

As crisp sounds rang, the slightly noisy hall quieted down instantly, a white-haired elderly appeared before everyone.

Without a bit of pleasantries, the first auction commenced directly!

"Ninth-level Open-hearted Enlightenment Precious Pill, capable of tremendously enhancing comprehension in a short time, and helping break through minor realms, though limited beneath Immortal Realm, yet useful even for Individual Immortal Realm breakthroughs."

The auctioneer conducted the auction very calmly, entirely devoid of stirring the atmosphere.

Nonetheless, the ninth-level Precious Pill received enthusiastic bids, numerous cultivators spoke out, the price skyrocketing wildly, leaving Li Zhirui somewhat speechless.

Yet upon further consideration, it seemed reasonable.

Indeed, it could assist in breaking through to the Loose Immortal Grade, those cultivators stranded in the Mortal Realm for years, may secure Individual Immortality upon consuming this Precious Pill, thereby hardly fretting over longevity.

’If only I could get the Pill Recipe, then the family would have no worries about Spirit Stones being insufficient.’ Li Zhirui thought wildly.

However, even if he obtained it, he wouldn’t publicly take it out, as given the current strength of Li family, it might not be able to safeguard it.

In the end, the ninth-level Precious Pill was acquired by someone on the third floor with a sky-high Spirit Stone price.

The subsequent auction items, though inferior, were all superior High-level Spiritual Objects, leaving Li Zhirui quite envious.

Yet thus far, he hadn’t seen the Purple Stone Auction’s distinctiveness—Black merchandise.

Unexpectedly, it came next!

"This sword is named Rainbow, an eighth-level Magical Treasure, once the Lifebound Spirit Sword of a True Disciple from the Drunk Sword Immortal Sect. Though the individual perished, causing a drastic drop in the spirit sword’s power, it remains a superior offensive Magical Treasure, with a starting bid of one million Spirit Stones."

Typically, Life-bound Magic Treasures shatter upon the owner’s demise, though exceptions exist, such as detaching the treasure before passing.

This only causes a drastic drop in spirit and power, avoiding shattering.

This price, for an eighth-level Magical Treasure, was nearly a giveaway!

Yet considering the origin of the spirit sword, the price was indeed fitting, as any buyer would risk pursuit from the Drunk Sword Immortal Sect.
