Chapter 642: The Shortest Spiritual Auction Ever

text!Lu Ye plopped down on the ground. That moment when the Thunder Roar Formation failed was truly perilous. The defense line here almost collapsed under the onslaught of the monstrous horde, thankfu...Since a cultivator sets foot on the path of cultivation, they inevitably have to deal with the Heavenly Machine Alliance. This is something no one can avoid.

< As for Lu Ye, not long after he entered the Lingxi Battlefield, he began buying and selling things in the Tianji Merchant Alliance. Although it is possible to trade with other cultivators, it is ultimately more convenient and cost-effective to do so in the Tianji Merchant Alliance.

>

If we can't do business with the Heavenly Machine Alliance, many things will become complicated.

The lower a cultivator's cultivation level, the greater their reliance on the Heavenly Machine Merchant Alliance. This decision by the Alliance has brought quite a bit of trouble to those two Demon Ridge Sects.

It has been many years since anyone made a fuss within the Tianji Merchant Alliance. To this generation of cultivators, the Tianji Merchant Alliance seemed to be nothing more than a place to buy and sell things. Until now, cultivators were shocked to realize that in a sense, it was a behemoth that was in no way inferior to any camp in Haotangmeng or Wanmoling.

Usually, this behemoth maintains a neutral stance, not participating in or interfering with the struggles between the two factions. However, if someone disrespects its territory and rules, it will reveal its fangs.

...and compared to Haotian Alliance and Wanhomo Ridge, this behemoth has its own unique advantages in some areas...

Be warned, in the future, when dealing with members of the Heavenly Machine Business Alliance, one must be extremely cautious. These people are protected by the Heavenly Machine, and in certain specific situations, the strength they display might only be a facade.

Shaking off all distractions, Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed it against the Heavenly Mandate Pillar. He immersed himself in its energy, connecting with the Heavenly Treasure Vault.

Wow, good luck! The Earth's Fire, which was sold out before, actually has over ten copies available this time.

A "Two Hundred Deeds of Earthfire" is a valuable item, and its price was not cheap for Lu Ye in the past. After all, earning deeds was no easy feat. However, the current price is incredibly affordable. If there were stock available in the Heavenly Machine Treasure Vault, I'm sure many Lu Ye would buy as many as they could.

But one day, he believed that he could make the entire tree of talent burn.

After buying the Earth Heart Fire, Lu Ye looked for other things suitable for being swallowed by the talent tree, and whose prices weren't too high, such as fire of the dan variety.

Finally, it cost over ten thousand merit points.

The

auction for spirit boards is about to begin.

As before, Lu Ye received a participation token for the spirit signature auction from the Tianji Trading Alliance. It resembled a jade finger and, while within the Tianji Trading Alliance, one could use it to enter a special space with their mind, allowing them to participate in the spirit signature auction.

After the half-dan of tea, the location of each Tianji Chamber of Commerce was revealed one by one. The cultivators who participated in the Lingxian auction from all over, opened their eyes one after another, their expressions grim.

Since many people are not first-timers at the spirit talisman auction, they have a general estimate of the prices for various colored spirit talismans. Generally, prices fluctuate within about 10%, so it's not worth calculating. After all, everyone's achievements weren't earned by the wind. They were earned through life-or-death struggles against enemies. Every bit of achievement can be said to be the result of hard work and sweat.

Besides cultivators like Lu Ye, whose achievements flowed like water, every cultivator meticulously calculated their contributions.

However, this time the auction of Ling Qi felt off from the very beginning...

I don't know which bastard jacked up the prices to a point where no one can afford it anymore.

Thus, the shortest-ever historical duration for a spirit summoning auction was born, taking less than half a cup of tea from start to finish...

At this very moment, Lu Ye had returned the jade-like artifact and went back to his room.

With Lü Ye's current net worth, competing with a group of Cloud River Realm cultivators for spirit contracts was completely unchallenging. All the spirit contracts, from white to purple, were obtained by him alone.

Unfortunately, the number of spirit talismans this time is not many, there's only one purple talisman, two blue ones, four green ones, and nine white ones.

It's better to have something than nothing.

He advanced to the fifth level in Fox Fairy Valley. Since then, he has been busy fighting wits and courage with cultivators from Wanmo Ridge. Although he practiced during this time, his overall cultivation improvement was not significant.

Though these talismans are not enough for him to advance to the sixth level, they can save him some time.

As soon as Lü Ye entered the Yunhe Battlefield, he learned that the Yunhe realm was the fastest realm for cultivators to improve their cultivation speed.

The facts are clear, as long as a cultivator has enough spiritual talismans, crossing the entire Yunhe Realm doesn't take much time at all.

After so long, Lu Ye has more or less summed up some rules.

When a single leaf on the talent tree lights up during the process of devouring the strange fire, there's little to be hopeful for. The leaf likely carries some techniques for constructing spirit runes. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule.

Such spirits like the sharpness of a blade or the strength of a fortress are carried individually on single leaves.

If many leaves were to light up at the same time, it would definitely be an extraordinary spiritual pattern.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Like a phoenix reborn, with wings capable of flight and the enchanting divine patterns etched upon them. All these elements are not confined to a single leaf because their intricate construction requires more than one. The spiritual markings weave together across multiple leaves in a complex tapestry.

And some spirit runes should require devouring special flames to be activated.

He had once activated the Talent Tree, causing it to devour the Phoenix True Flame. A Fire Phoenix spirit pattern then appeared on the Talent Tree.

By killing the fox demon and devouring its fire core, he activated the Bewitching Godly Rune.

Even though most of the leaves on the talent tree don't bear complete spirit patterns, the many techniques used to construct spirit patterns are still immensely helpful to Lu Ye.

He now possesses a level of mastery in the art of spiritual runes that far surpasses that of his peers. The fact that he was chosen by Yun Madam for her guidance is a testament to this. The techniques he learned from the talent tree have been instrumental in his success.

Even, it is said that whenever he was setting up a formation, he would use such tactics.

The over ten thousand merit points worth of Di-fire and Dan-fire quickly consumed everything, burning several leaves on the Heaven's Gifted Tree. Lu Ye meticulously inspected each leaf, finding that he had not gained any new spirit patterns.

He wasn't too disappointed, after all, he already had a lot of spirit patterns under his command, enough to deal with most situations.

The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the Void Spirit Rune.

What is certain is that the talent tree definitely has Void Rune, but he doesn't know where it is located, and he can't activate it proactively.

The more he contacted the Void Spirit Rune, the more he felt that this rune had many uses. It's a pity that it wasn't activated on the talent tree, and he couldn't put many of his thoughts into practice.

Given his speed and efficiency in constructing Void Spirit Patterns, it's impossible to verify those wild ideas. (To be continued)aved her and gave her a new life.
