167: C167 Enter!

C167 Enter!

After dismissing everyone, Ji Wuyan, Ji Zhentian, and Shi Ping headed towards the Panshan County together.

Three days later, in the main hall of the Ji family in the Panshan County.

"Second Brother, it's really you. You're back?"

Ji Weitian was just about to discuss something with the elders when he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He couldn't help but step forward emotionally, and the corners of his eyes became blurry.

How was this possible?

Could it be that he had seen a ghost?

Everyone also noticed Ji Zhentian, who had disappeared for more than three years, and their eyes were instantly filled with shock. However, when they saw the young man beside Ji Zhentian, the shock in their eyes quickly turned into understanding.

So that was how it was!

Everyone looked as if it was only natural.

"Third Brother!"

Ji Zhentian hugged Ji Weitian excitedly as tears welled up in his eyes. It had been more than three years since they last saw each other, and they thought that they would never see each other again in this life. However, who would have thought that in just a few days' time... Not only did he see his own son, he also saw other relatives.

"Where's father?"

The two of them chatted for a while. Ji Zhentian looked at the crowd and found that Ji Xiong wasn't among them. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"He is in seclusion in the secret chamber. I will bring you to him now!" Ji Weitian said excitedly.

After that, everyone saw Ji Xiong in the secret chamber. At first, he thought that Ji Zhentian was blind due to his old age, but after confirming again and again, he finally recovered from his shock. The two of them chatted for a long time from the corner of their eyes.

They hadn't seen each other for more than half a year. Perhaps it was because he had put down the heavy burden on his body, Ji Xiong's cultivation base had increased by a lot, and he had broken through to the Ninth Layer of Dragon Turning Stage.

The next night, Ji Wuyan quietly left the Ji family. Except for a few important people, no one else knew that he had already left.

However, before he left, he did a few things.

First, he helped his father cultivate again.

Originally, Ji Zhentian's body had been constantly extracting blood essence during these three years, and it had become very deficient. However, after he consumed a Vitality Pill, his blood instantly filled up and he revived. All of his bodily functions were restored to their peak. After consuming a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, after recovering the scattered cultivation base, he once again reached the Dragon Turning Stage.

What was worth mentioning was that Ji Wuyan had even given Ji Zhentian the Empyrean Fire Lotus that he had kept for a long time. It was quite dramatic when he thought about it. Back then, his father had left because he wanted to find this thing to help him break through. Now, he had found it, but he had used it to help his father break through to the cultivation base.

Secondly, he wanted to help Ji Xiong break through to the Prominent Sage Stage.

Ji Xiong was already a Ninth Layer of Dragon Turning Stage cultivation base, and was only a step away from the Prominent Sage Stage. Perhaps, this step was like a heavenly chasm to many people, and it was very difficult for them to cross it. In fact, they might not even be able to do it for the rest of their lives.

However, this was still possible for Ji Wuyan, who had a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in his possession.

Breaking through to the Prominent Sage Stage from the Dragon Turning Stage required an enormous amount of medicinal strength. Ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures couldn't do it, but after he gave Ji Xiong the high grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures's Nine-Petalled Fire Lotus, at noon, Ji Xiong broke through to the Prominent Sage Stage.

In addition, with a Prominent Sage Stage expert guarding the Ji family, he could finally leave with peace of mind.

Thirdly, he would deal with Shi Ping.

In fact, at first, he wanted to arrange for Shi Ping to stay in the Ji family to protect the people of the Ji family in secret, but after seeing Ji Xiong, he gave up.

In the end, after thinking about it, he decided to let him "go" back to the Netherworld Palace and let him monitor the movement of the Netherworld Palace. If there was any situation, he would inform him.

As for the situation on beast tamer Lu Wen's side, he received the news the day before yesterday that Judge Cui Zheng of Soul-enchant Hall was in secluded cultivation. In other words, there was still a period of time before he could improve his strength.

But at the same time, there was also a piece of bad news. At that time, he might not be facing a Third Layer of Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator, but a terrifying Fourth Layer of Supernatural Stage warrior who was several times stronger than him.

Fourth Layer of Supernatural Stage!?

Ji Wuyan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It was like a sharp sword hanging from his neck, ready to slash at any time.

Anyone would feel fear when facing such a terrifying expert.

Time was of the essence. He didn't know when the opponent would come out of seclusion. Therefore, he left Ji family as soon as possible, thinking of ways to obtain the ability to protect his own life in the shortest amount of time.

There was a way to quickly level up, and that was to absorb a large amount of energy. Whether it was a human or a Demonic Beast, he could do it. However, between the two, he was more inclined towards the Demonic Beast.

No one liked to kill, and he didn't want to become a murderous devil just to level up.

If that was really the case, he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before his mental state collapsed, and his human nature changed drastically. Perhaps, he would even kill people when he saw them.

If it was the Demonic Beast, the Dry Devil Mountain was a good place to go!

Ji Wuyan rubbed his chin and thought. Back then, because he wasn't strong enough... He didn't even enter the outer perimeter of the Dry Devil Mountain before he was frightened by that terrifying beast. Judging from the current situation, that terrifying beast might very well be the sixth level Demonic Beast.

However, that was only the outer region.

One could imagine just how many terrifying creatures were inside the Dry Devil Mountain.

"However, before that, I have to think of a way to get a Level Five Demonic Beast Core for the Puppet."

Ji Wuyan's eyes sparkled. The Puppet was his biggest trump card. Without the Puppet, he would have to face any Martial Cultivator above the Eighth Layer of Prominent Sage Stage. He would have a hard time even if he had to face a Supernatural Stage warrior or a fifth level Demonic Beast. He would not even have a chance to escape.

Therefore, the top priority right now was to get a Level Five Demonic Beast Core.

The fastest and most direct way to get a beast core was to go to a large Martial Cultivator Auction House. Ji Wuyan's wealth was considered quite high now. Most of the wealth of the experts he had killed in the past had been taken into his account.

It could be said that his current wealth was greater than any Prominent Sage Stage Martial Cultivator. Even Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivator might not be as rich as him.

Eastern Banana City was one of the biggest cities in Northern Zhou Dynasty. There were many powerful warriors here, and there were many families. However, the ones with the most strength were the four big families here.

The Chu, Dong, Jiang, and Liu Families.

The reason why these four families were called the four big families was because they had powerful warriors guarding them.

That's right, there were terrifying Supernatural Stage experts in these four great clans!

The Chu Family, which was publicly recognized as the leader of the four big families, was also in charge of all the big and small auction houses in Eastern Banana City. Among them, the largest auction house, Eastern Banana Auction House, was also one of them.

Three days later, Eastern Banana Martial Cultivator Auction House was officially held.

Many strange looking foreign Martial Cultivator entered one after another. At this time, Ji Wuyan had changed into a different outfit, and his appearance had changed into the appearance of "Lin Yi." At this moment, he looked like a young man in his twenties.

There were many Martial Cultivators that came to participate in this auction, and the lowest cultivation base was a Dragon Turning Stage warrior. One or two Prominent Sage Stage Martial Cultivators could be found among a group of people. Of course, there weren't many Supernatural Stage Martial Cultivators.

Their Qi field was incomparably powerful. Even though they didn't emit any aura, the faintly discernible pressure still gave them a lot of pressure.

After entering the auction hall, the interior was decorated very extravagantly. The stairs came from top to bottom, and the ground was piled up with solid granite. The pillars were white jade like white jade, and there were many beautiful patterns carved on them, as if they were made by heaven.

There were many mysterious private rooms on the second floor, and there was a dangerous aura coming from there. Obviously, the strength of the people inside was extraordinary.

There was a tall platform in front of them, and not long after that, a middle-aged man with a First Layer of Prominent Sage Stage aura on his body appeared in front of everyone.

"Friends from afar, I'm the chief auctioneer of the Eastern Banana Auction House. Chu Xing, I believe that this isn't the first time many of you have seen me. Alright, I won't waste my time talking nonsense. Next, let's look at the first auction item of our auction house."

The middle-aged man first introduced himself. Then, he waved his hand, and a maid walked over with a wooden tray in her hand.1

"Everyone, this is the horn on the horned iron rhinoceros. This horn is as hard as iron, and it can't even compare to some treasured swords. If you refine it, it might be able to bring about a multifold increase in your strength. Of course, I believe that some of the friends in the weapons craftsman know its function better than me."

Chu Xing held the horn and introduced it to the crowd with a smile.

"Alright, the starting price of this item is 10,000 gold coins. Each increment must not be less than 1,000 gold coins. Now, the first item, the auction begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below began to clamor.

"I bid 10,000!"

"Eleven thousand!"

...

As time passed, the bidding price continued to rise. Finally, the horn was bought by a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe with a cauldron embroidered on it for fifty-three thousand gold.

"Tsk tsk, 53,000. He really is willing to spend money. Look at that fellow's attire. He should be a refiner of the Refiners' Association!"

"53,000 gold coins. These refiners are really f * cking rich. Even if I don't eat or drink, I'll still need more than half a year to gather enough!"

"Don't compare with them. They earn a lot of money, so naturally they spend a lot of money as well."

The few people sitting next to Ji Wuyan whispered to each other.

After the first item was auctioned, the second item was soon auctioned. It was a piece of white fur that had been taken off the seventh level Demonic Beast's body. It could be refined into clothing. It had a certain defensive function. Of course, other than looking good, it also had a defensive function. Instead, it was rather liked by some female Martial Cultivator.

In the end, the second item was bought by a multicolor-robed woman for 34,000 gold coins.

Seeing this, Ji Wuyan was somewhat speechless. A pile of fur could be so valuable. He had somewhat underestimated these women.

Time passed bit by bit, and the auction items were also auctioned off one by one.

More than ten items were auctioned off. However, in front of Ji Wuyan, every single one of those items caught his attention. He could not even raise his spirits when looking at them.

It was only until the appearance of such an item that his interest was piqued.

"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a bottle of pill called Qi Returning Pill. This is a bottle of pill that can help you recover a third of your Inner Qi at the most critical moment."

"In other words, when the two of them are engaged in a life and death battle and their strength is almost the same, when the Inner Qi is about to be exhausted, this kind of pill is the key to your victory."

One had to admit that Chu Xing was very eloquent and detailed. The interest of many people below was stirred up.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Chu Xing also felt that it was about time for the auction to begin.

"Alright, now is everyone's time. As usual, the starting price of this pill is ten thousand gold coins. Each increment must not be less than one thousand gold coins."
