Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

The appearance of the old Taoist priest Yin Fu caused a huge uproar at the auction.

Lu Zaian frowned, stroking his white stubble with one hand, weighing in his mind whether he should raise the price...

Unexpectedly, after waiting for so long, I finally found a suitable Tianmingpeng blood essence.

But then a ruthless character suddenly appeared.

Lu Zaian is still weighing the options.

A loud, angry shout came from the other private room.

"Yin Fu! You still dare to loiter in front of my Zixiao Temple? This time I will definitely capture you!"

The exquisitely carved wooden windows of the private room were shattered by the shouts.

A proud-looking Taoist priest in purple robes made a lightning spell with his hands and smashed it straight towards the old Taoist priest Yin Fu!

Boom! !

A muffled thunderclap resounded, and lightning crackled in the void.

Purple arcs of electricity flickered and leaped, like a giant purple dragon, striking towards the private room where Yin Fu Lao Dao was!

The private room exploded with a loud bang, sending splinters flying, startling everyone who scrambled to intercept or avoid it.

Upon closer inspection, one could see an elderly man in a tattered black and white Taoist robe standing calmly in place.

He held a pitch-black talisman vertically between the two fingers of his right hand.

The black talisman emitted eerie fluctuations, faintly emanating sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls...

The purple arcs of electricity that were jumping around were all swallowed and suppressed by this black talisman!

The old Taoist priest Yin Fu was completely unharmed!

"Hehe, the sixth level of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, it's been many years. Congratulations, Senior Brother Zhang, on your further advancement in thunder magic..."

Zhang Tianshi's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the black talisman in the old Taoist priest's hand. As if remembering something, he exclaimed in surprise:

"The Mother-Child Yin Thunder Talisman? You actually mastered the Mother-Child Yin Thunder Talisman?!"

"No, no, no, it's still a few degrees short... It would be just right if it swallowed the life talisman of your Celestial Master lineage!"

Yin Fu Lao Dao chuckled strangely, his deep eyes fixed on Zhang Tianshi as if he were looking at a delicious dessert.

Everyone was taken aback. What exactly was that black talisman?

How could someone be so fearful of Zhang Tianshi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Zixiao Temple?!

At this moment, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with extensive knowledge exclaimed in surprise and explained:

"Tsk tsk, the Mother-Child Yin Thunder Talisman, it is said to be a forbidden technique created by a collateral disciple of the Zixiao Temple a thousand years ago."

Generally speaking, the thunder magic talismans of the Celestial Master lineage of Zixiao Temple are extremely yang and strong, capable of warding off evil and dispelling yin.

However, this Mother-Child Yin Thunder Talisman is an exception.

It is made by sacrificing blood to infants and pregnant women, and is extremely yin and poisonous.

Before the Yin Thunder Talisman of the Mother and Child is fully mastered, it needs to be continuously sacrificed with blood to enhance its Yin nature. At the same time, it is also restrained by the Purple Heaven Thunder Magic of the orthodox Celestial Master lineage.

However, once the yin energy accumulates and causes a qualitative change, the so-called extreme will inevitably lead to the opposite!

This mother-child Yin Thunder Talisman will then devour the most Yang and most powerful things, and from then on, it will no longer fear the thunder magic of the Celestial Master lineage...

Back then, that collateral disciple achieved mastery of Yin Fu, and almost wiped out the entire orthodox Celestial Master lineage of Zixiao Temple.

However, the scandal was gradually covered up by time after the Zixiao Temple suppressed the perpetrators. The Mother-Child Yin Thunder Talisman also became an absolute forbidden technique that the Zixiao Temple was unwilling to show to others!

No wonder Zixiao Temple is now going all out to hunt down Yin Fu Laodao.

So it turns out she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes…

It was only then that everyone realized that Zixiao Temple was famous in the Northern Sky Domain for its righteous thunder magic, but they never expected that it also had such a dark history.

The entire system was breached by a single Yin Thunder Talisman.

Lu Zaian swallowed hard. He couldn't afford to offend them...

If Yin Fu Lao Dao was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, Lu Zai'an could still compete with him.

After all, once Lu Zaian refines the essence blood, he will also be able to break through to the Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment stage, making him a formidable opponent for his peers.

However, the old Taoist priest Yin Fu in front of him was clearly capable of going head-to-head with someone in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

How can we play this?

Those who understand the times are wise; we might as well not have the essence of Tianmingpeng this time.

"Insolence! What are you trying to do?!"

"Openly fighting in the auction house, do you think my Hundred Flowers Merchant Guild has no one to rely on?"

Just as Yin Fu Lao Dao and Zhang Tian Shi were locked in a stalemate, another hoarse voice came from behind.

A biting wind blew, and the air in the room seemed to freeze over!

An old woman with white hair and a youthful face, wearing an ice hairpin, walked in from the cold wind, leaning on an ice crystal cane.

"The Ice Flower Fairy?" Master Zhang's expression turned solemn.

"Hehe... I am old and my beauty has faded, how dare I still call myself a fairy?"

"Regardless of any grudges between the two of you, please refrain from taking action against me, Hundred Flowers Merchant Guild, okay?"

The Ice Flower Fairy chuckled, seemingly discussing the matter, but the tip of her ice crystal staff lightly tapped the floor.

A thin layer of solid ice condenses in all directions from the ice crystal staff as the center.

"Hehe, I will naturally abide by the rules of the Hundred Flowers Merchant Guild, but it was my dear Senior Brother Zhang who made the first move..."

The old Taoist priest, Yin Fu, gave a forced smile and put the black talisman back into his sleeve.

"you!!"

Purple arcs of electricity flashed continuously in Zhang Tianshi's eyes, as if he was considering the consequences of his actions.

"Senior brother, this Ice Flower Fairy's cultivation has probably reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, she's not easy to deal with!"

And don't forget, this isn't just the territory of the Hundred Flowers Merchant Guild, it's also within the city of Desolate Swamp. We can't afford to offend that city lord!

A red-robed Taoist priest behind Zhang Tianshi sent a telepathic message to dissuade him, which finally woke him up.

Zhang Tianshi nodded subtly and transmitted his voice to his junior brother:

"In that case, let him live a little longer."

You use a talisman to notify the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, instructing them to proceed to the Desolate Marsh City immediately.

"Once the auction is over, you must intercept and kill the Yin Fu!"

"Don't worry, senior brother... His Yin Thunder Talisman is not yet fully developed. He can't escape this time by himself!"

.........

The farce of purging traitors was quickly stopped by the Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce.

The Zixiao Temple and the Yin Fu Taoist could only stare at each other helplessly, neither able to do anything to the other for the time being.

As for the essence blood of Tianmingpeng, it was still taken into the possession of the old Daoist Yinfu.

The Ice Flower Fairy has left, and the auction will continue to be hosted by the Bee Flower Fairy.

One after another, rare and precious treasures were displayed on the terrace, attracting everyone's attention...

"Next up are the essence blood, skeleton, wings, and fur of the second-tier low-grade Xuanwing Flying Bear."

The Black-Winged Flying Bear is a unique monster found in the Hundred Yellow Mountains of the Maple Flower Domain. It possesses immense strength, black wings on its back, and its entire body is a treasure!

In particular, its pair of black wings are excellent materials for crafting magical treasures.

These four materials can be auctioned separately, with a starting bid of 2,600 spirit stones for each item!

what?

A black-winged flying bear?!

Upon hearing this, Lu Zaian, who was on his deathbed, was startled and sat up abruptly.

His eyes, which had previously given up hope, lit up as he looked towards the stage.

A huge black-winged flying bear carcass was dismembered into four parts and carried up.

A hideous skeleton, a bear skin still soaked in blood, a pair of jet-black wings, and a jar of sealed essence blood!

"Is it really the Black-Winged Flying Bear?! It's exactly the same as the illustration in the 'Nine Fiends Demon Body'!"

Unexpectedly, things took an unexpected turn for the better!

Lu Zaian's eyes held a hint of surprise. The Hundred Flowers Chamber of Commerce was indeed quite something; the auction items this time were surprisingly plentiful.

"The Mystic Winged Flying Bear is a specialty of the Maple Flower Domain, and its most valuable feature is its pair of mystic wings."

"This time, no one should be able to steal my essence blood, right?"

Unless someone like Lu Zaian has a special need for body-refining techniques.

Otherwise, the greatest use of the essence blood of demonic beasts would be for various cultivation techniques.

Arrays, weapons, elixirs, talismans.

The techniques and methods also differ between different regions.

Aside from innovating, monks generally don't use unfamiliar materials.

This is a rare opportunity!

All I need is his essence and blood!
