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

It was the voice of Yan Kuangge, the young master of the Demon Spear Cult.

The window in the private room opened on its own, revealing his face.

Describing it in just eight words:

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he possessed a captivating and arrogant air.

She certainly has a handsome appearance!

"Chen Kui is a member of my Demon Spear Cult. Even if he breaks the rules, it's not your place, an unknown scholar, to lecture him."

I bought this Yaoquan Dew for Chen Kui!

"Scholar, if you also want it, then go ahead and bid!"

Yan Kuangge's eyes were deep as he looked at Lu Zaian, exuding an unrestrained and domineering aura.

His actions demonstrated the power and influence of the Demon Gun Cult.

This also made his subordinate Chen Kui even more loyal.

At the same time, it also served as a test to gauge the scholar's thoughts.

This is a win-win-win situation.

"It's actually the young master of the Demon Spear Cult who has shown up!"

"The Demon Spear Cult has been making waves lately. I've heard that Yan Kuangge may already be trying to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Hiss... Didn't he only break through to the Foundation Establishment stage ten years ago? How come he can break through again?"

Is this the gap between us and geniuses?

"Waaah... If only I could get on the good side of Young Master Yan."

"Tch, don't you even know what kind of alluring woman you are? As the young master of the Demon Spear Cult, do you think he lacks women?"

"..."

Yan Kuangge is a highly sought-after and renowned genius cultivator in the Northern Sky Domain.

His appearance instantly brought the atmosphere in the room to a climax.

Whether the monks present were jealous of him, admired him, respected him, or resented him, they all couldn't help but discuss him...

Lu Zaian narrowed his eyes slightly.

His divine sense, comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, was also able to feel a powerful pressure emanating from Yan Kuangge.

Yan Kuangge was testing him...

Wasn't he also trying to take this opportunity to test the young master of the Demon Spear Cult, who had vaguely become the "number one among the younger generation in the Northern Airspace"?

I sensed Yan Kuangge's life magnetic field again; it was both violent and concealed.

Like a great demon lurking in the abyss, a ferocious beast disguised in human skin.

Most surprisingly, Yan Kuangge's killing intent was also not to be underestimated.

He was actually slightly stronger than himself, who had cultivated the "Blood Slaughter Flow" technique.

It made Lu Zaian feel a sense of dread.

'This is what it means to kill without blinking an eye.'

This Yan Kuangge... is no ordinary person; he's mysterious and dangerous, and definitely harbors a great secret...

Having achieved his purpose of testing, Lu Zaian smiled suddenly as his mind raced, and responded with a cupped-hand salute:

"So you are the young master of the Demon Spear Sect. I've heard so much about you! My apologies for not being more acquainted with you!"

I forgot to check the owner before beating the dog. I didn't know Chen Kui was Young Master Yan's man. I hope Young Master Yan will not take offense.

"I won't participate in the Jade Spring Dew event..."

Lu Zaian appeared to be admitting defeat, but he was actually subtly undermining Chen Kui.

It is true that Chen Kui has joined the Demon Spear Cult.

But for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to be insulted like a dog, this grudge has clearly been formed.

Chen Kui's face was extremely gloomy as he glared at Lu Zaian with hatred.

If this weren't an auction, he would really like to exchange a few blows with that scholar!

Yan Kuangge successfully obtained the sixth drop of Yaoquan Dew, but he did not show any joy.

Instead, his eyes were lowered, as if he were deep in thought.

That scholar is definitely not as simple as he seems...

The crowd was astonished by the scholar's audacity.

He actually dared to publicly criticize another Foundation Establishment cultivator; is he really not afraid of making enemies?

Little did people know that for Lu Zaian, he was using an alias and his antics were all done through alternate accounts.

You hate the scholar in blue robes, what does that have to do with me, Lu Zaian...?

The auction continues.

After Lu Zaian's interference, no Foundation Establishment cultivator dared to compete for the seventh drop of Yaoquan Dew.

Finally, the bearded man, who was actually Lin Feng in disguise, successfully captured him.

Lin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly left...

After a few more items that Lu Zaian was not interested in, the auction proceeded.

Luo Quan explained:

"The next item up for auction is a second-tier low-grade Tianmingpeng essence blood consigned by the Zhang family at Qianfeng Peak."

Starting bid... 2,400 spirit stones!

"Oh? It's Tianmingpeng's essence blood again?"

Lu Zaian sat up straight, his eyes narrowed, and looked at the demonic beast blood essence on the stage.

He remembered that at the Hundred Flowers Auction ten years ago, the Zhang family of Thousand Peaks seemed to have consigned a second-tier Heavenly Roc essence blood for auction.

"At the time, they said they had wiped out a nest of Tianmingpeng... but they came back again ten years later."

What a coincidence!

Lu Zaian suspected that the Zhang family must have mastered some method for rapidly breeding and cultivating Tianmingpeng.

However, this method must also have its flaws.

Otherwise, if a monster comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator were bred every ten years, what a disaster that would be!

As expected, Lu Zaian was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his divine sense could penetrate the pottery jar.

When he looked at Mingpeng's essence again, he discovered some clues.

"The color is impure, and it seems to lack a wildness amidst its fierce and resentful aura."

The overall quality is estimated to be only about 60% of that of a normal second-tier low-grade demonic beast…

Back then, Lu Zaian, being a Qi Refining cultivator, couldn't see it, but now it's crystal clear.

"But that's pretty impressive, it's like having a golden goose firmly in their grasp. These established powers are no simpletons..."

Lu Zaian also participated in two rounds of bidding and finally won the Mingpeng essence blood.

However, he did not intend to use this essence blood to cultivate the "Nine Fiends Demon Body".

The quality of this essence blood is impure, and Lu Zaian no longer finds it acceptable.

He simply wanted to use this opportunity to study the principles behind the "Great Roc Demon".

The Nine Fiends Demon Body is an incomplete version of a top-tier second-order cultivation technique that Lu Zaian obtained before.

There are only five clearly defined methods for cultivating "煞".

These are: the Savage Bear Sha, the Monkey Sha, the Python Sha, the Flying Crane Sha, and the Roc Sha.

The other four types—the Tiger Might, the Tortoise Might, the Phoenix Might, and the Dragon Might—are still in the development stage by the creators.

As Lu Zaian'an's cultivation deepened...

He also gradually began to understand the creators' thoughts.

In fact, the type of monster's blood used is not fixed.

The types of demonic beasts listed in "Nine Fiends Demon Body" are just a fixed pattern.

It tells you, just like writing on a blackboard, what kind of spiritual materials are suitable to be paired with what kind of monster blood essence.

We need to consider the balance of yin and yang, the regulation of cold and heat, the proportional distribution, and so on...

Lu Zaian is also an alchemist, and he is gradually becoming familiar with the pharmacological properties of various spiritual materials.

He began to break free from fixed patterns and start thinking about more possibilities.

Why does it have to be the essence blood of the Heavenly Roc?

Could it be Mingya Peng?

If there is extra dark attribute energy, you only need to replace it with the corresponding light attribute spiritual medicine, and the medicine can still be refined.

Why is it limited to the Nine Killings?

The blood essence of monsters like rhinoceroses, eagles, crocodiles, wolves, and leopards should also be usable.

All you need to do is prepare the appropriate medicinal herbs.

Lu Zaian believed that only in this way could the true power of the "Nine Fiends Demon Body" be brought to its fullest potential.

"Next up, a second-tier elixir refined by Master Lu—the Youth Preservation Pill!"

Master Lu is a well-known alchemy master in Huangze City in recent years.

Although he came from a humble background, the quality of the pills he produces speaks for itself.

There are five Youth Preservation Pills here, each with a starting bid of... four thousand spirit stones!
