"True spirit itself?!"
Li Yunxiao smiled. "How is that possible? Even if it's a descendant of a true spirit, I wouldn't believe it. In the true spirit atlases that have been passed down, have there been any records of such a small thing? "
Aunt Jiu said, "Most of the true spirit atlases that have been passed down are incomplete. Moreover, most of the records are of famous true spirits, so it's not surprising that some were missed. I can't determine the true identity of this thing, but the feeling it gives me is very terrifying. It makes me shudder. May I ask where Young Master Yun came from? "
"The original owner of this thing was killed by me. Now that I heard Aunt Jiu say this, I regret taking his life. I should have captured him and searched his soul."
Li Yunxiao's face was full of regret. The fact that he had killed someone and searched their soul so casually made Aunt Jiu and Mei Dong 'er's scalps tingle.
Aunt Jiu said, "Since this thing has appeared, we can definitely find its origin. What are the characteristics of this thing? Perhaps we can make some guesses?"
Li Yunxiao said, "This insect can emit something similar to metal spiritual energy, but it seems to be getting weaker." A golden light flashed in his hand, and more than ten of these insects appeared. They were all orange in color, but some were dark, and some were light. They emitted a weak golden light.
Li Yunxiao's palm also turned golden. It seemed that the sharp aura of the insect had forced him to use his indestructible golden body to protect himself.
Back then, the blue-clothed man from the Mu family used demonic fire to suppress the metal spiritual energy and didn't dare to use his body to grab it.
"This …"
Aunt Jiu was shocked. She stretched out her hand to carefully touch the faint golden light. The moment she touched it, her jade-like fingers trembled slightly, and she pulled back.
Her jade-like hand was covered in wounds and blood flowed continuously.
Li Yunxiao said, "Be careful, Aunt Jiu."
"It's fine."
Aunt Jiu replied softly. With the circulation of her origin energy, these superficial wounds were instantly healed.
She revealed a strange expression and said, "This golden light is indeed like metal spiritual energy, but it is much weaker. If these insects have the ability to fight, then they should be very powerful."
Li Yunxiao's expression became a little strange. He stared at the insect in his palm without moving, and his brows furrowed.
Mei Dong 'er's heart jolted, and she said, "Big Brother Yunxiao, did you discover something?"
Li Yunxiao pointed at his palm, and a yellow insect the size of a grain of rice bounced up and was caught by his other hand. He presented it to the two and said, "When I first saw this insect, the golden light was much brighter than it is now. Could it be that it has been consumed, so it has become weaker?"
Aunt Jiu exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Yun, are you saying that this light, which is similar to metal spiritual energy, can be strengthened and weakened in a short period of time?"
Mei Dong'er said embarrassedly, "Could it be that I'm hungry, so I used up all my energy?"
Aunt Jiu said, "It's very possible, but I don't know what this thing relies on to devour to replenish itself."
Li Yunxiao thought for a moment, then placed the piece of Northern Heaven Cold Star Iron that had been pierced by the green poisonous gas in his palm, and gently touched the tiny worm.
The light on the insect's body flickered imperceptibly, then it slowly moved towards the Cold Star Iron.
"Tsk! As expected! "
Aunt Jiu cried out in surprise. Although the insect was extremely small, the three of them had sharp eyesight, so they could clearly see what was going on. The insect was indeed devouring the Northern Heaven Cold Star Iron, but it was eating very slowly.
Li Yunxiao thought for a moment, then threw the other dozen or so insects over. As expected, all of them began to gnaw on the Northern Heaven Cold Star Iron.
"Hehe, it's quite fun. I wonder if they will grow after eating the Northern Heaven Cold Star Iron?"
Mei Dong'er giggled, then tilted her head and began to think.
"Just this piece of Northern Heaven Cold Star Iron alone will take a few days to finish. I'll keep it and observe it for a while."
Li Yunxiao pondered deeply. With a flip of his hand, he instantly stored all the bugs away.
Aunt Jiu said, "I'll also go back and look for some information. The Mei Family left behind many ancient books and records regarding ancient true spirits. Perhaps I can find some clues."
"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Jiu," Li Yunxiao thanked her.
The few of them chatted for a while, then Li Yunxiao stood up and took his leave.
Mei Dong'er's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said, "There's still some time before the next auction. Why don't I accompany Big Brother Yunxiao for a stroll around?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "That's fine too."
The two of them quickly left the auction venue and began to stroll around New Yan City.
Mei Dong'er said softly, "I've been following Aunt Jiu around the world all these years, and I've often heard news about Big Brother Yunxiao. I've always been on tenterhooks. Now that I see that Big Brother Yunxiao is fine, Dong'er can rest assured."
Li Yunxiao's heart stirred slightly. Although what he had done in the past few years wasn't a top secret, it wasn't something that could be casually heard. Mei Dong'er had most likely asked around.
He smiled and said, "I've indeed experienced some things, but most of them were daunting, but not dangerous."
Mei Dong'er said, "Big Brother Yunxiao's experiences must be much more dangerous than what Dong'er has heard. Dong'er really wants to hear more from Big Brother Yunxiao."
Li Yunxiao smiled and told Mei Dong'er about what had happened after they parted ways in Southfire City. He picked out some of the less important things, and Mei Dong'er was in a daze as she listened.
Mei Dong'er said faintly, "It's a pity that Dong'er's abilities are too low, and I can't help Big Brother Yunxiao solve his problems."
Li Yunxiao said seriously, "Dong'er is already very strong, but you must remember that you can't be too hasty when you're cultivating. You must stop immediately if you discover anything amiss! "
After all, that unknown poison was too potent, and Li Yunxiao was very worried.
Mei Dong'er nodded vigorously and said, "I will. I won't let Big Brother Yunxiao worry."
Li Yunxiao nodded gently. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he saw a figure flash across the street corner from the corner of his eye.
"Big Brother Yunxiao, what's wrong?"
Mei Dong'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Li Yunxiao's dazed expression.
Li Yunxiao thought of something and said, "I have something to do, and I have to leave for a while. You can return to the auction first."
Mei Dong'er was shocked and said, "Big Brother Yunxiao isn't going to participate in the next auction?"
Li Yunxiao replied, "Yes, I will. I'll rush back in time."
After he finished speaking, he stepped in the direction of that figure, and he shrunk the ground to an inch. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the street corner.
Mei Dong'er stood rooted to the ground. After a while, she sighed and revealed a faint look of disappointment.
Li Yunxiao's figure flashed, and he locked onto the person in front of him.
However, there was a mocking look in his eyes. His body swayed, and he gradually faded until he disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, three figures appeared at the spot where Li Yunxiao had disappeared. All of them had shocked expressions on their faces.
"What's going on? We can't find any trace of him at all. Did he really disappear? "
"His aura is lingering here, and it hasn't spread out at all. Could it be that his escape technique is so strong that he can escape our pursuit?"
"He seems to have caught up with someone, and that person seems to be heading towards the southern city gate. Should we chase after him?"
"You two go take a look first. I'll go back and report to Lord Hu Mingri."
The three of them discussed and immediately split up into two groups.
In the southern part of New Yan City, a hunchbacked old man with a bamboo hat quickly left the city.
The old man was wearing a patched brown farmer's robe, and he staggered as he walked. However, the moment he left the city, he disappeared outside the city gate in a few steps.
There was a slight fluctuation in the sky, and Li Yunxiao hid in the void and followed closely.
The old man in front of him was none other than one of the Eight Symbols of Death God Palace, the Tyrannical Sky Tiger!
After 15 minutes, the Tyrannical Sky Tiger crossed a hill, and three figures appeared on a piece of flat land in front of him.
Li Yunxiao was slightly shocked, and his eyes turned cold. Among the three figures, there were two unfamiliar faces.
One of them was tall, slim, and had long purple hair draped over his shoulders. His strength was that of the Eight Stars Emperor Wu. The other person had a cold expression, and was wearing a blue brocade robe. His strength was that of the Seven Stars Emperor Wu.
The last person was the Demon Race's Mister Quan, who had just fought with Li Yunxiao.
"Old Five, why did you come out? Is the plan going to change? "
Mister Quan was sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he had suffered some light injuries from the battle with Li Yunxiao.
The other two also frowned as they looked at the Tyrannical Sky Tiger.
The Tyrannical Sky Tiger said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. There are many strong opponents in this auction, and I'm afraid we don't have enough primeval stones."
"I didn't agree to buy it with primeval stones from the start. We can just rob it. With the four of us working together, although we can't beat the Merchant Union, it won't be a problem for us to escape. "
The man in the blue brocade robe said in disdain. His face was cold and murderous.
The Tyrannical Sky Tiger shook his head, "No! There are too many strong martial artists here, and the Wanbao Tower's arrangements are very tight. It's too difficult to get it! "
Mister Quan's face flashed with hatred, and he said angrily, "If not for Li Yunxiao, who not only snatched the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Physique, but also forced me to use up three feathers of the 'Void', this auction won't be able to stop me!"
The man with purple hair said coldly, "Third Brother, it's not that I'm scolding you. The three feathers of the 'Void' that our boss worked so hard to exchange for were wasted on a junior. That's why we've been delayed. If we can't bring it back successfully, let's see how you're going to answer to our boss. "
Mister Quan's face turned cold, and he said angrily, "I don't need you to lecture me. I know what I'm doing!"
The man with purple hair laughed coldly, "It's good that you know what you're doing. I'll just wait and see what you're going to do."
Mister Quan's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth, "Prepare the second plan!"
The four of them stood up and headed towards the east, south, west, and north respectively. Mister Quan took out an array board that looked like a metal box and threw it in the middle. His hands formed a series of hand signs, and all sorts of talismans were inserted into the array board.
The other three were calm as well. They cooperated with each other, and all sorts of formation lights flashed continuously.
Li Yunxiao hid in the void and observed for a while. He then found out that they were setting up a mid-sized teleportation portal.
For a normal teleportation portal, unless it was set up in a small area, it would take some time to set it up. But they used the array board as the foundation, so it was easy for them to set up a simple, single-use, mid-range teleportation portal.
