"Master, I'm here."
As soon as Xiao Chen's voice fell, the air in front of him fluctuated slightly. A milky-white spiritual power suddenly shot out from the gap of the door, like a whip, heavily smashing towards Xiao Chen's shoulder.
Almost in an instant, Xiao Chen's five fingers on his right hand started to move rapidly. The speed was so fast that it actually formed countless afterimages of his fingers in the air. Finally, they stopped on his shoulder and condensed into a seal, just in front of the milky white Spiritual Power.
"Crack!"
A violent explosion sounded, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but grin. He sucked in a breath of cold air between his teeth. The palm that blocked the Qi force was already numb, and a burning pain pierced into his heart. Under the stimulation of this intense pain, Xiao Chen's muscles couldn't help but shrink.
"You brat, you haven't cultivated to the peak yet, and you're already showing off your abilities. Sooner or later, you'll be shot down.”
With a creak, the wooden door was opened from the inside by Elder Yun. His expression was a little cold, and his eyes flickered as if he was recalling some unpleasant memories.
"I just want you to remember that before you obtain enough strength, you must hide your strength and bide your time. Perhaps you don't understand what I mean now, but... it's best for you to do as I say!”
The last sigh seemed to be filled with endless bitter tears. Xiao Chen instinctively guessed that perhaps Elder Yun was also high-spirited when he was young, but he was framed by someone. Therefore, when he saw himself just now, he was reminded of the scene and taught him.
"Teacher, I understand your painstaking efforts.”
Xiao Chen's tender face revealed a maturity that did not match his age. When Elder Yun saw this mature expression, he felt a wave of gratification and joy.
"I asked you to enter the city to investigate the Sun Flower, Orchid Grass, and Dark Yin Stone. Have you found them?”
"Yes, it's just..."
Xiao Chen felt a lump in his throat, but after struggling for a while, he still told him everything he knew. Perhaps his teacher had some way to help him.
"Some Sunflowers have just been picked and are in full bloom. However, this one costs 150 Black Crystal Coins. As for the Orchid Grass, it would cost 120 Black Crystal Coins for the next 50 years. As for the Dark Yin Stone, he would have to wait until the Dark Night City Auction at the beginning of next month. This was the finale of the auction and would be sold for at least 300 Black Crystal Coins.”
Such a large number of Black Crystal Coins was not something that Xiao Chen could afford at this stage. Therefore, he could only look at his teacher with a bitter smile, hoping that he would have a solution.
"Oh, it's less than six hundred Black Crystal Coins. If the same materials were in the Imperial Capital, they would cost at least one thousand Black Crystal Coins. It seems that the prices in Dark Night City are really low.”
What was that? "And this is cheap? You have to know that my six years of savings only amount to a little over a hundred Black Crystal Coins." Xiao Chen looked at Elder Yun in shock."Could it be that my teacher's original status was so high that he didn't care about such a small amount of money?"
"This is for you. Anyway, you'll have to wait until the end of the auction before you can get the Dark Yin Stone. You might as well take this to the auction. The money you get from selling it should be enough to buy the other three materials.”
Xiao Chen caught the item that Elder Yun had tossed over and placed it in his palm. It was a crystal clear emerald crystal. The crystal's shape was irregular, but the emerald green that seemed to be surging inside the crystal emitted a strange beauty under the sunlight. The spiritual energy fluctuation that came from it was not inferior to that of a Spirit Master. Xiao Chen also clearly knew that this crystal was the spirit core of a Second Grade Spirit Beast.
"This is the spirit core of a Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth. It's not the best quality, but it's quite rare. This kind of Spirit Beast only exists in the Great Cemetery.”
"From now until the beginning of next month, there's still more than ten days. You should stay at home and practice the set of hand seals that I gave you. When these hand seals are imprinted on your instincts, you can truly start practicing the spirit combat skill.”
After Elder Yun had made arrangements for the next few days, he returned to the house and took out a black cloak from inside. He threw it to Xiao Chen.
"This is the Ghost Shadow Cloak that I used a long time ago. It can block the detection of cultivators below the Spirit King Realm. It's useless to me, but it can help you hide during the auction.”
Elder Yun looked at the cloak that had been flung away, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in the corner of his eyes.
This was good stuff! Xiao Chen took the cloak and quickly put it on. Suddenly, his entire body seemed to be surrounded by a thick layer of black fog. Moreover, the effect of this cloak seemed to be extremely special. Even if one looked at his face from a very close distance, they would only see a ball of black fog.
By the time Xiao Chen had finished feeling the magic of the Ghost Shadow Cloak, Elder Yun had already disappeared. The entire cottage was empty. The whistling wind blew against the wall and swept up the corner of the black cloak.
Soon, it was the beginning of the month, and the annual auction in Dark Night City would begin tomorrow.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Chen put on the Ghost Shadow Cloak early and touched the emerald green spirit core of the Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth, in his pocket. Then, he slowly walked towards the auction hall in the city.
After getting the spirit core back from his teacher, Xiao Chen went to the family's public records to find information about the large butterfly moth. Just as his teacher had said, the large butterfly moth could only be found in the place with the densest Yin Qi in the cemetery, but the conditions for obtaining the spirit core were really harsh.
First of all, they had to break through the large group of skeletons around the cemetery. After breaking through the skeletons, they had to deal with a large number of zombies and ghosts. Even if they could get rid of these zombies and ghosts, they would still need to gather a lot of second and third grade spirit beasts when they reached the place with the thickest Yin Qi. If they wanted to kill the butterfly moth and get the spirit core, they had to guard against the attacks of these second and third grade spirit beasts.
Even his father, Lin Potian, who was at the peak of the Spiritual Grandmaster Stage, found the difficulty of these missions to be extremely troublesome. If he was not careful, he would be trapped by a large group of second and third grade Spiritual Beasts. At that time, even if he gave up on the Spirit Core and escaped, it would be very difficult. It could be seen how precious the Great Butterfly Moth's Spirit Core was.
According to the precedent of the previous auction of the Level Two Spirit Core, Xiao Chen calculated that if this Spirit Core was auctioned off at an auction, it could be auctioned for at least 1,000 Black Crystal Coins. This was not counting the cultivators who especially needed this Great Butterfly Moth Spirit Core. If they fought for it, they might be able to buy 3,000 to 4,000 Black Crystal Coins.
However, his teacher had given him this spirit core so easily. While Xiao Chen was happy, he also felt a great pressure.
