847: Baby received

Zhu Wuneng's probe was even more domineering and direct, reaching the core of the Medicinal Pill! The foul mist around him churned violently, and two points of cold starlight erupted with startling brilliance! After just a moment, his raspy voice, sounding like metal scraping, rang out with a hint of disbelief:

"Cult Leader... this pill... is indeed Rank 8 Low Grade without a doubt!"

"The spiritual charm it contains... is profound and unpredictable! Its core medicinal power... is indeed for nourishing, repairing, and strengthening the Primordial Spirit Origin! Especially regarding Primordial Spirit injuries... its medicinal nature is gentle yet penetrates to the marrow! As for raising the upper limit of Primordial Spirit strength... the medicinal power has an additive cumulative characteristic... what was said is no lie!" Zhu Wuneng's voice carried a hint of shock that even he hadn't noticed!

He was at the Body Integration Stage, his Primordial Spirit already preliminarily fused with the Laws of Heaven and Earth, and his perception far surpassed Void Refining! He could 'see' the exquisite Dao patterns within the pill that contained a strange vitality! The value of this pill... was immeasurable!

A heat that was hard to conceal instantly erupted within Blood Moon Fairy's blood-red pupils! She snapped the stopper shut, and that refreshing pill fragrance vanished instantly. She looked at Yao Delong, her red lips curling into a smile that could captivate all living beings yet carried an air of absolute control: "Fellow Daoist is indeed a man of his word! This nine nether earth core milk is yours!"

With a wave of her jade hand, an attendant immediately stepped forward carrying a jade box and respectfully placed it before Yao Delong. "When the auction ends later, if Fellow Daoist is interested, you may use this token to select any one treasure in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower as a small token of my Cult's appreciation." She flicked her finger, shooting out a dark gold token engraved with a Blood Moon mark. It was beyond dispute!

Yao Delong sneered inwardly; this was typical of giving a sweet date after a strike, and even more so, a move to temporarily steady him! But on the surface, he showed an appropriate amount of being "overwhelmed by favor" as he put away the token: "Many thanks for the generous gift, Fairy." He felt slightly relieved; the fact that the other party fulfilled their promise immediately after verifying the goods indicated that the Sun Moon Divine Cult's current focus was still on the Nine Nether Sect, and the auction's reputation was temporarily intact.

Blood Moon Fairy gave Yao Delong a deep look, as if trying to see through him, then said no more, turning to vanish out the door with the ghost-like Zhu Wuneng. The isolation Formation of the private room was instantly restored.

Top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

Blood Moon Fairy stood by the railing, her blood-red pupils looking down at the still-boisterous auction floor below, but her thoughts were clearly elsewhere.

"Old Zhu, what do you think?" Her cold voice carried a hint of gravity.

The foul mist around Zhu Wuneng ebbed and flowed slightly, his voice carrying unprecedented confusion and a hint of wariness: "Cult Leader... this youth... is unfathomable!"

"Oh?" Blood Moon Fairy's blood-red pupils narrowed slightly.

"His surface aura... is at the Void Refining Early Stage, cultivating Origin Evil Qi. But his Physical Body..." Zhu Wuneng seemed to be weighing his words, "...the majesty of the blood and Qi within him, the condensation of his muscles and bones, is far beyond what a common Void Refining Body Cultivator can compare to! Even more bizarre is that he seems to be shrouded in a... force field that distorts the Laws!

My Divine Sense approached within three feet of him, and I actually felt it being invisibly swallowed and deflected! This is definitely not a Realm that an ordinary Body Refining Cultivation Technique can reach! And that Old Black Mu... is as respectful to him as a servant, which is definitely not faked! When did the Nine Nether Sect produce such a figure? How could we have been completely unaware?"

Blood Moon Fairy's fingers lightly tapped the cold railing, making a crisp sound. Light flowed within her blood-red pupils: "A mysterious Body Cultivator who can make an arrogant and ferocious demon like Old Black Mu bow his head, whose Physical Body is strong enough to distort the Laws, and who can casually produce a Primordial Spirit Holy Pill that we have never heard of... Hehe, interesting."

A cold calculation flashed in her eyes: "After the auction, arrange for the 'Blood Shadow Guards' to secretly follow them and find out their resting place and true identity. Remember, only investigate; do not take action! This person... might be a variable!"

Then, Blood Moon Fairy's gaze became bone-chillingly cold, her blood-red pupils locking onto several specific private rooms below, her killing intent cold and stern: "As for those Nine Nether rats hiding in the corners... the time is almost up. Prepare to pull in the net! Not a single one... should think of escaping!"

Inside the Xuan Seven private room.

Yao Delong carefully put away the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Bodhi and the nine nether earth core milk; these two main ingredients were finally in his hands! A heavy stone in his heart finally hit the ground.

Looking down at the auction stage, another treasure radiating startling fluctuations was presented, triggering a new round of frenzied bidding, but Yao Delong had already lost interest. The main goal of this trip had been achieved; this Ten Thousand Treasures Tower was filled with hidden killing intent, Ghost-Faced Old Man in Heaven Room One was watching like a tiger, and the Cult Leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult was personally setting a trap against the Nine Nether Sect... This place had become the eye of the storm!

"Little Black," Yao Delong spoke indifferently.

"Master!" Old Black Mu immediately bowed.

"Let's go. We won't watch this excitement anymore." Yao Delong stood up, his tone calm but beyond dispute.

"Yes!" A glint flashed in Old Black Mu's eyes; he had been waiting for this moment! The Cult Leader's personal presence had put too much pressure on him!

The two did not hesitate, pushing open the private room door and heading directly toward a relatively quiet side entrance passage of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. Their departure did not attract much attention in the still-boisterous venue, but several cold or inquisitive gazes still quietly stuck to their backs like maggots on a bone.

One of them came from the ghostly green eyes in the Heaven Room One private room! A cruel smile appeared on Ghost-Faced Old Man's withered face: "Xuan Seven... finally coming out! Keep a close eye on them!" He immediately sent out a Divine Thought.

Another gaze came from the crystal room on the top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. The Blood Moon Cult Leader's blood-red pupils flickered slightly, and Zhu Wuneng's figure silently dissipated beside her, clearly going to execute the tracking order.

Yao Delong and Old Black Mu were like two drops of water merging into a crowd, quickly walking out of the grand yet oppressive main gate of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower. Outside, the lights of the River of Oblivion City were just coming on, and the streets were still noisy, but Yao Delong keenly felt that the invisible aura of slaughter permeating the air was even heavier than when they arrived! It was as if an invisible net was slowly tightening over the entire city!

"Master?" Old Black Mu sent a transmission; he also sensed the anomaly.

Yao Delong's eyes were deep, and his pace did not stop: "Pay it no mind. Let's leave this River of Oblivion City first..."

Stepping out of the west gate of the River of Oblivion City, the noise was instantly left behind, replaced by a deathly silence like the calm before a storm. The cold wind of the wilderness swirled withered leaves, making a whimpering sound that further emphasized the eeriness of this place.

Just how powerful was Yao Delong's Primordial Spirit? Having fused the Heaven-Defying nourishment of the nine aperture spirit nurturing pill and the Origin strengthening of the great void spirit nurturing pill, the purity of his Primordial Spirit and the sharpness of his perception had long since surpassed the shackles of Void Refining, directly approaching the terrifying level of the Body Integration Late Stage or even the Peak! Under his Primordial Spirit insight, which was like a high-hanging bright moon, everything around him was as clear as the lines on his palm!

What made Yao Delong sneer even more in his heart was that—in the folds of the Void Realm over a hundred feet above him and Old Black Mu, a figure that seemed to blend into the shadows, with an aura nearly nonexistent yet carrying strands of foul Qi Origin, was following silently like the most patient hunter! It was precisely the Integration Realm powerhouse who had appeared in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower earlier—Zhu Wuneng!

'Body Integration Early Stage... the technique of spatial concealment is indeed exquisite.' Yao Delong's Primordial Spirit moved slightly, easily capturing the subtle 'ripples' in the other's Dao Law fluctuations. 'Unfortunately, in the face of absolute perception, this bit of concealment is nothing more than burying one's head in the sand.' He understood in his heart that Zhu Wuneng's goal was to find out his background and would not act unless absolutely necessary. And the intentions of those hidden pieces from the Nine Nether Sect were crystal clear—to kill and seize the pills!
