Chapter 2494: Retaliation in Kind

ely the Nascent Soul Ancestors who serve as the bedrock, providing protection and stability for the sect or family.Since this kid was a master alchemist, how could he possibly not have a Nascent Soul..."40 million!" Lu Xia Tian once again bid without hesitation.

"Forty-one million." The Red-Green Ape King's eyes were filled with anger, and he looked at Lu Xia Tian with a gaze that seemed to want to tear him apart. If not for being inside the Ruins Market, the Red-Green Ape King would have descended in an instant to teach Lu Xia Tian a lesson.

The price soared to over forty million. At this point, those who dared to increase the price had vanished. Even Lu Xiaotien, if he hadn't received the treasures of Ye Qianxin's lotus avatar, wouldn't dare to bid like this. Otherwise, even if he emptied his fortune to win this item, it would inevitably delay his progress in cultivating his second dantian. This was the same dilemma Huo Yun had faced when he was at a lower level of cultivation. Even after he reached the early stage of the Great Ascension Period for some time, the magical power within his second dantian only reached the Nascent Soul realm. In contrast, Lu Xiaotien's second dantian had already reached the level Huo Yun had achieved back then.

>“Four million one hundred thousand once!”

“Fourteen million!” The Crane-Headed Old Demon was about to slam his hammer to seal the deal, but the Red-Green Ape King’s heart pounded wildly. Such a high price far exceeded his expectations.

"Four million two hundred thousand!" For some reason, after hearing Lu Xia Tian's offer this time, the Red-Green Ape King suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Four million three hundred thousand!" Chi Qing Yuan Wang thought to himself, being pulled up to such a high price by Lu Xia Tian, he felt quite unwilling.

>

“Four million four hundred thousand!” Lu Xia Tian also felt a little annoyed that the Chiqing Ape King had interfered.

However, the Red and Green Monkey King did not bid again this time and was taken down by Lu Xia Tian at a staggering price of 44 million.

"Kid, you wait." The Chi-Qing Ape King glared fiercely at Lu Xia Tian, his eyes filled with malice. Yu Ya, standing not far from him, also cast a glance at Lu Xia Tian for a moment, her beautiful eyes betraying her curiosity. Before long, the Chi-Qing Ape King's giant ship was about to return.

"Congratulations to this esteemed Taoist Xiang, please come forward to collect your treasure, and also pay the spirit crystals." The two graceful demon maids looked at Lu Xiaodao with reverence and captivating charm.

Lu XiaTian nodded and followed the two female servants to a temporary secret room built behind the auction site. The Crane-Crowned Old Demon was already waiting there.

"Fellow Daoist, please present your spirit crystals or collateral." The old monster with the crane's crown smiled at Lu Xiaoteng. There had been cases of people refusing to pay in the marketplace before, but those were from a long time ago. It didn't matter if the other party couldn't afford the full amount; they could just pay 40% as a penalty.

"I don't have that many Spirit Crystals on me. Can you take what's inside and auction it off for me I'll pay you the extra Spirit Crystals later." Lu XiaTian extended his palm, and a small bottle flew toward the other person.

“What kind of spirit could compare to the Dragon Mark Dark Crystal, and more.” The old Crane-Crown demon smiled dismissively. The Dragon Mark Dark Crystal wasn't necessarily the most precious, but at this auction it had indeed fetched an astonishing price.”

Moreover, the other party was only a cultivator at the mid-stage of integration. Being able to take out something more precious than the Dragon Vein Dark Crystal undoubtedly made the Crane Crown Old Demon's heart feel suspicious.

However, out of curiosity, the Crane-Headed Old Demon opened the small bottle and took a quick glance. He immediately stood up from his position, his face filled with emotion as he exclaimed, "This... this is!"

"Can it compare to this piece of dragon-patterned dark crystal" Lu Xiaodao said.

“Fourth, four drops of concentrated Xuyang Lingwu, it is naturally worth it. Fellow Daoist, if you don't mind the long wait, please allow me to work on it. The price I will offer later will guarantee that Fellow Daoist will be satisfied. Moreover, the four drops of Xuyang Lingwu can be sold separately, which is enough to be the finale treasure of this market.” The Crane Crown Old Demon took a breath and said.

"Alright, you're in charge of handling things then." Lu Xia Tian nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have any more Xu Yang Spiritual Mist on your body" The Crane-Crowned Old Demon couldn't help but ask another question.

"Is this the rule of your market" Lu Xia Tian frowned, who would reveal their own treasures to others without a reason This old demon was overstepping.

"Please calm down, fellow cultivator. I was merely overcome with excitement and asked too many questions. Please forgive me," the Crane-Crowned Old Demon chuckled along.

“Such a great tribulation from heaven and earth, one would have to endure nine deaths to finally obtain it. You think it’s so easy to get your hands on” Lu Xiaoxiao coldly rebuked, directly withdrawing, not afraid that the other party would go back on their word. The marketplace could exist for so many years, naturally there was a reason, and it wouldn't be so short-sighted.”

The Xuyang Lingwu was exceptionally precious. In addition to what Lu Xia Tian absorbed himself, he gave some to Xiang Qingcheng. He still had some in his hands. However, this item was too rare; it had countless uses for cultivators below the Great Ascension stage, such as cultivating one's foundation and refining mana. Although Lu Xia Tian was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, due to absorbing enough Xuyang Lingwu, his mana purity was already comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul monster. He could fight continuously against strong figures like Han Feng Xiong Huang and Ye Qian Xun's lotus avatar. Without Xuyang Lingwu, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Previously, when bidding for the dragon-patterned dark crystal, there weren't many late-stage cultivator participants, and no one else was as relentless as the Chiqing Ape King. Once the Xuanyang Spirit Mist appeared, the outcome would be different. Such a spirit artifact could attract attention from demon clans, human clans, and even some powerful late-stage cultivators from the demonic clans.

Although the Xu Yang Lingwu was rare and extraordinary, Lu Xia Tian found no immediate use for it at present. It would be better to sell it and exchange it for what he needed. Otherwise, if he spent most of his spirit crystals now, he wouldn't have such a good opportunity to earn spirit crystals when he went to the Underworld Demon Corpse Ground later.

After obtaining what he desired, Lu Xia Tian continued to wander through the marketplace. Occasionally, he would encounter some rare spiritual creatures, which he would collect. Having received the alchemy inheritance from Li Dan Wang, Lu Xia Tian had numerous alchemical formulas in his possession. The Buddhist sect had stood for countless years, and besides their own formulas, they had also collected many that originally belonged to other sects over time. As a result, his collection of formulas grew larger and larger. Many of these formulas did not require spiritual creatures unique to the Buddhist sect.

In addition, Lu Xia Tian also collected several peculiar prescriptions from the demon clan. Although the demon clan's attainment in alchemy was far inferior to that of the human race, they always had their own unique approaches. Among them, Lu Xia Tian obtained the Shahua Dan, Ming Shui Dan, and a few other prescriptions that were not very useful for cultivation but took a maverick approach. As luck would have it, Lu Xia Tian already had three kinds of medicinal herbs required by these prescriptions in his possession. As for the rest of the herbs, after a search at the market, except for the extremely rare Shenmu Fake Body Pill which still needed a few spiritual creatures, all the others were gathered.

"Judging by the master's expression, he's probably going to lose to Ya." As Lu Xiaotien retreated from the crowd of cultivators after successfully obtaining another spirit creature, a soft voice came from behind him.

Lu Xia Tian turned around and saw Yu Ya Zheng looking at him with a resentful expression.

"You didn't lose your memory" Lu Xia Tian looked at Yu Ya with a hint of surprise. Besides being surprised that the other party hadn't lost their memory, Lu Xia Tian was also very surprised that Yu Ya could recognize him.

>t help but look up to him. 。"Thank you, sir" 。Ch'e Er, upon hearing this, was overjoyed. After all, it was only a matter of gathering the skeletons of two Heti ghosts. It wouldn't take him long at all...
