ounds. Gazing upwards, countless bolts of lightning seemed to streak across the sky. At the very top of the mine shaft, a colossal magical formation pulsed with light. Intricate patterns flickered con...Both Shen Xiaomiao and that Ruan Qingzhu had left their marks on each other, after all, they had signed the Heavenly Machine Contract, being trustworthy offensive and defensive partners.

He stayed in the Commercial Alliance until night, when the spirit lotteries began.

After the steward of the Chamber of Commerce explained its usage, Lu Ye held the jade finger in his own quarters, his mind immersed within it.

Suddenly, the scene shifted, resembling his experiences entering the Heavenly Machine Treasury every time. His mind instantly appeared in a closed small room.

Inside the tiny room, there was nothing but spirit banners floating in mid-air. There were hundreds of white ones, dozens of green ones, a few blue ones, and in the center, there was one unique purple banner.

It's unclear who the lucky person is that got this purple spirit sign. They didn't use it themselves but put it up for auction instead.

It can also be understood, after all, cultivators' cultivation consumes too many resources. Many cultivators live very frugally, and this will not change even if their cultivation level improves.

Each spiritual oracle card has a number beside it. When Lu Ye paid attention, these numbers were constantly changing and increasing...

After a moment's glance, Lu Ye understood. The numbers changing beside the spirit slip represented the price of this particular spirit slip.

At this very moment, there must be many cultivators just like me, their minds immersed in this small space to participate in the auction.

This method is quite novel because all bidders won't see each other face-to-face. This way, no one knows who is bidding, even if someone gets the best purple spirit banner, they don't have to worry about being targeted by malicious individuals.

Lu Ye vaguely guessed that this auction method was related to the chips used for merit. As for cultivators, there was only one place where merit could be used: the Heavenly Machine Treasure Vault.

This auction must have celestial beings involved, otherwise it wouldn't involve merit.

The value of a spirit medium's divination is a question.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ye sent a message to Shen Xiaomiao and asked her.

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

The white spirit tokens are between two hundred and three hundred merit points, the green ones are six hundred, the blue ones are one thousand eight hundred, the purple ones are five thousand four hundred, as for the golden ones that Lu Ye has never seen before, each is worth sixteen thousand two hundred merit points.

According to Shen Xiaomiao, if the price rises by more than 10%, it's not worth it.

In his heart, Lu Ye had a standard for measurement. Now, as he looked at the talismans one by one, he found that it was indeed as Shen Xiaomiao had said.

Each white spirit brush costs around two hundred points, while the green ones hover around six hundred. Blue brushes are priced at about one thousand eight hundred points. As for the only purple spirit brush, its price has skyrocketed to five thousand five hundred points right now.

Of course Lu Ye was staring at the purple one. He raised his hand and tapped on the purple spirit sign. The spirit sign instantly emitted a halo of light, and the price changed to five thousand five hundred and fifty points.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ye had a guess and pointed to another white spiritual decree. The price changed, and the white spiritual decree also emitted a halo.

As expected, there are luminous seals, representing those who have bid and are currently holding the bid. Those without luminous seals represent those who have lost their bidding qualifications or haven't placed a bid.

After figuring that out, Lu Ye began to participate in the bidding.

With over 70,000 merits, Lu Ye wouldn't fear anyone and continued to bid!

As time passes, spirit tickets occasionally vanish into thin air.

That means someone has taken them.

Lu Ye got his hands on a dozen or so white spirit talismans, priced at 220 or less, which was fairly acceptable.

A few moments later, he picked up several green ones and two blue ones.

One after another, the spiritual signs disappeared until in the end, only the purple one remained.

At this moment, the price of this purple spirit charm has skyrocketed to five thousand nine hundred points.

If you follow Xiaomao Shen's experience, this purple spirit sign is not worth it if it exceeds 6,000 points.

But Lu Ye at this moment only wanted to quickly improve his cultivation level. Spending more effort was actually acceptable.

The violet lingquan that was radiating a faint glow suddenly dimmed. Its price became five thousand nine hundred and fifty points, which undoubtedly meant someone else had bid higher than Lu Ye.

Lú Yè immediately raised the price again.

You went back and forth with the unknown competitor, clashing in several rounds. The price finally stabilized at six hundred and twenty points.

The other party didn't make another offer, I wonder if it was beyond their capacity or psychological expectations.

After a moment, the purple spiritual signs flickered three times, then burst into brilliant light.

Before every time I captured a spirit sign, it looked like this. Lu Ye instantly understood that this spirit sign belonged to him.

He reached out and took the purple spirit scroll, putting it away in his storage space.

The investigation of harvest, the white spirit signature has 15 paths, the green ones have 6 paths, blue has 2 paths, and purple has 1 path. The expenditure is about 16,800 merits. Originally, there were more than 70,000 merits left with only over 57,000.

>>>With such a bountiful harvest, Lu Ye was undoubtedly very satisfied. With so many spirit signatures, he would only need to retreat for a few days when he returned to the Spirit Land. The Second Layer of the Yunhe realm was within reach. As for the Third Layer of the Yunhe realm, it was probably out of reach, but it could save him a lot of time and effort in cultivation.

After leaving the Tiangji Merchant Alliance, the moon shone brightly amidst a sea of stars.

For a cultivator like Lu Ye, whose cultivation level was not high at all for the Yunhe realm, it was actually not very suitable to travel at night. Staying in the Tiangji Commercial Alliance for one night was the best choice.

But considering he wasn't in the spirit realm, and the spirit realm's defensive power was greatly reduced, Lu Ye could only set off at night.

In the month of Huá, moonlight falls, spirit boats fly across the sky. On Lù Yè's shoulder, the amber spirit is invigorated.

Since learning that method of absorbing moonlight from the giant tortoise, Amber was the happiest on nights like this. She crouched on Lu Ye's shoulder, and with each breath it took, visible moonlight was absorbed into her belly.

>

As Lu Ye was flying, he suddenly saw a streak of light flashing past him from the side. It was incredibly fast.

"Look at that posture, it's clearly heading straight for me. "

Lu Ye's face darkened. He thought to himself that he was truly unlucky. Though he didn't know the other party's intentions, just by their bearing he could tell they were not here for good.

Judging from the other party's speed and faint fluctuations in spiritual energy, the arrival is at least a cultivator at the seventh or eighth level of the Yunhe realm.

After contacting several cultivators at the Yunhe realm, Lu Ye developed his own set of standards for judging the strength of others. He wouldn't say it was completely accurate, but at least the margin of error wasn't large.

They are not a match!

>

The person behind him was in hot pursuit.

The gap in strength was simply too big, even with the Wind-Walking Rune buffing them, the distance between them was only slowly closing. As Lu Ye was considering whether to activate his wings, Yiyi's voice suddenly rang out: "Lu Ye, something's wrong with that person, he seems to have fallen."

>>

Such injuries... he can't possibly survive!

Leaning against a large tree, the man breathed softly, with an undercurrent of awareness. He opened his eyes and met Lu Ye's gaze.

He clenched the blood-stained long sword in his hand, gave Lu Ye a grim smile, and said in a voice weak beyond belief: "Friend Daoist, you run fast!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!

The other party spoke up, "Things are hopeless. I've finally found someone and wanted to ask a fellow cultivator for a favor."

"What's the matter"

"Please give this sword to the Shenxing sect." The man raised the blood-stained long sword in his hand.

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, >

In other words, this sect is above the third rank and has its own base in the core area of the Lingxi Battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist, are you from the Haotian Alliance" The man seemed to have picked up some information from Lu Ye's tone.

Lu Ye fell silent.

"Don't worry, if it's just handing over a sword, you can entrust it to the Heavenly Machine Commerce Alliance. You don't need to make the trip yourself. If you agree, all my possessions besides this sword will belong to you. To be honest with you, I'm actually quite wealthy."t have been discovered. There must be other undiscovered changes, and these all require further research and observation.The transformation of the talent tree nearly depleted his reserves, and Lu Ye c...
