Long Yu could come to this courtyard on the fifth level of the Source Sky Tower any time he wanted in the next year, but of course, he wouldn't stay here for that long.
The strange beasts of the Wood God Clan in the Source Sky Tower had all come out temporarily and were killed by Elder Murong Xiuzhen of the Alliance of Five Emperors. There were no more chances for him to train here for now.
Long Yu could take advantage of the next two months to consolidate his newly improved martial arts realm.
Two months later, he had to return to the North Snow Imperial City to participate in the Imperial Capital Grand Event and fight for the future of the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
At the Imperial Capital Grand Event, there will be more than 20 young geniuses of the King Plane and countless martial arts practitioners of the Seven Paths of Divinity Realm …
Long Yu thought that with his current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to keep the ownership of the Heavenly Mandate Manor. But the key was that he didn't know the specific rules of the Imperial Capital Grand Event. The rules changed every year.
If each force chose one person and eliminated them one-on-one, Long Yu wouldn't be afraid at all. What he was afraid of was that each force would send a team of several people. Then, in the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor, apart from him and Man Xin, there wouldn't be any martial arts practitioners who could compete.
According to the rules, the more people there were, the more disadvantageous it would be for Long Yu.
Therefore, he needed to possess even greater power!
Other than cultivating behind closed doors, Long Yu had to consider relying on external forces, such as taking special elixirs.
In the Source Sky Tower, martial arts practitioners traded with each other. There were all kinds of precious treasures, such as the Essence of Divine Heirs, which would appear in the market from time to time and sell for thousands of divine coins.
The Essence of Divine Heirs could not only improve the martial arts practitioners' understanding of the power of the Divine Glyphs, but it could also improve the compatibility between the martial arts practitioners and the Divine Glyphs. Any martial arts practitioner who absorbed it would be greatly strengthened.
And the Essence of Divine Heirs was often produced in dangerous places. Once it appeared, there would be several of them, so it couldn't be sold for too high a price. For example, the Asura King could be bought in the Tianqin Dynasty and given to Shu Chan.
Basically, as long as a Martial Cultivator wasn't too miserable, they would be able to purchase a Divine Descendant Essence after entering the Emperor Path Arcane Realm.
The Progeny Essence could be absorbed once before entering the Emperor Path Arcane Realm, and again after entering the Emperor Path Arcane Realm. Every Martial Cultivator could absorb the power of the Progeny Essence twice to improve themselves.
However, by the time most Martial Cultivators had the ability to obtain the Divine Spawn Essence, they had already stepped into the Emperor Path Arcane Realm.
For example, Shu Chan was able to absorb the essence of a Divine Heir before entering the Emperor Path Mystic Realm. Once she entered the Emperor Path Mystic Realm, she would definitely be able to absorb another one.
"The essence of a Divine Scion isn't anything too precious. If I want to widen the gap between me and the others, I'll have to get my hands on some extraordinary treasures. I won't hesitate even if I have to pay a hundred thousand shenbi for it! "
Every day, Long Yu would condense the Desolate Ancient Shadows and have them wear masks. He would go to the trading areas of the various floors of the Spring Heavenly Tower to gather information. Once a special treasure appeared, he would be prepared to buy it.
…
A month later.
Long Yu consolidated his three Transcendent boundary boundary cultivation as well as the Soul Seal Rainbow Absorption that had just risen to the middle grade. He was now more proficient in using these three Transcendent supernatural abilities.
Nine Nether Hand, Soul Seal Rainbow Absorption, Nine Nether Dragon Breath, these three were extremely powerful Transcendent supernatural abilities. Most importantly, when combined with the Nine Nether Divine Script and Soul Seal Rainbow Absorption Divine Script that Long Yu had comprehended, they were both at the Source of Divine Runes level and were the strongest divine runic powers.
The power of the divine runes he comprehended was the most important factor that allowed him to jump ranks to fight!
"I've comprehended 50% of the Nine Nether Divine Script and 30% of the Soul Seal Rainbow Absorption Divine Script. Unfortunately, I've only comprehended 1% of the Death Divine Script and Asura Divine Script. They're still too weak to be used in battle …"
Long Yu shook his head with regret.
Long Yu had only comprehended the Asura Divine Script and Death Divine Script for a short period of time. Thus, wanting to comprehend them to a sufficiently high level wouldn't be easy.
At the very least, in a short period of time, it would be difficult to improve without some special lucky chance.
"Mm? Shadow Celestial Stone? "
Long Yu rested for a while and focused his attention on the various floors of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower's trading area. His four ancient shadows were still wandering around the floors, inquiring about the situation of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower's trading area.
All of a sudden, the ancient shadows in the third floor's trading area finally received news of a good item – Shadow Celestial Stone!
A celestial stone's value was even higher than a complete divine runic symbol. Moreover, according to its attribute, the price would vary. A celestial stone was extremely rare to appear in a place like the Heavenly Source Spring Tower!
The Shadow Celestial Stone was the essence of the shadow divine runic power that was born in nature. After absorbing the energy within, it could enhance a martial cultivator's comprehension and compatibility with the shadow divine runic symbol. The effect was no less than a divine descendant essence.
However, the price of a Shadow Celestial Stone was more than 10 times higher than a divine descendant essence because it was far too rare!
Long Yu's ancient shadows wore a black robe and a devil mask. His entire body was like a black fog as he floated around the third floor of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower. Soon, he arrived at a place surrounded by many martial cultivators.
The seller of the Shadow Celestial Stone was surrounded by the crowd.
It was a middle-aged man with several scars on his face. One look and one could tell that he was extremely fierce. In front of him, there was a pitch-black Shadow Celestial Stone. It was this stone that attracted a large group of martial cultivators from the pugilistic world.
The upper seven floors of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower were mostly filled with human martial cultivators. Just stepping onto the third floor of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower required 2,000 divine coins to obtain an identity crystal.
Hence, the martial cultivators from the pugilistic world who could appear here were all experts with a certain status.
The seller of the Shadow Celestial Stone, a middle-aged man with a face full of scars, was a Monarch realm expert!
"The starting price is 30,000. The highest bidder wins," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
In the Heavenly Source Spring Tower, he wasn't afraid that the Shadow Celestial Stone would be snatched away. After all, the security of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower had always been very good.
It wasn't that the martial cultivators gathered here were of good quality. Rather, it was because the guards of the Heavenly Source Spring Tower were very strong. Anyone who dared to commit a crime would never be able to escape from the Heavenly Source Spring Tower.
The Shadow Celestial Stone was undoubtedly valuable to martial cultivators who were compatible with the Shadow Divine Text. However, such a high price caused most martial cultivators to shrink back.
For most martial cultivators, they hadn't even absorbed the Divine Child Essence. Rather than spending so many divine coins to buy the Shadow Celestial Stone, they might as well buy the Divine Child Essence first.
After all, only a few people could afford such a treasure. In the entire North Snow Empire, there were probably no more than 100 martial cultivators who could take out 30,000 divine coins.
Of course, it would be a different story if one had a backer. In the North Snow Empire, any random mansion or manor could easily afford such a Shadow Celestial Stone.
It was a pity that the Heavenly Source Spring Tower was a paradise for martial cultivators. Members of ordinary factions would rarely come here.
"30,000 divine coins, I'll take it."
Amongst the crowd of spectators, someone finally made a bid. It was the primordial afterimage of Long Yu who wore a black robe and a devil mask, and he floated like a jet black fog!
When Long Yu saw that none of the martial cultivators had any intention of bidding, he directly stated the other party's starting price.
The middle-aged man with a scar on his face didn't say anything. Instead, he looked around with a sullen face. However, no one else made a higher bid.
It wasn't that the martial cultivators present didn't want the Shadow Celestial Stone. It was just that they couldn't afford it even with all their wealth!
When they heard someone bid 30,000 divine coins, most of the martial cultivators present shook their heads in disappointment. They were still thinking that if no one else made a bid, the other party would sell it at a lower price. It wouldn't be too late to bid then. However, they didn't expect someone to really bid 30,000 divine coins.
A treasure like the Shadow Celestial Stone might not appear even once a year in the entire North Snow Empire. 30,000 divine coins wasn't too expensive. However, in this place, it was hard to find anyone who could afford a higher price.
If the middle-aged man who was selling the Shadow Celestial Stone wasn't in urgent need of money, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to sell it here.
"30,000 divine coins is really too low."
The middle-aged man's face darkened. He glanced at Long Yu's ancient shadow and said in a low voice, "Brother, if you can bid 40,000 divine coins, I can give you this Shadow Celestial Stone right now."
Long Yu himself didn't appear, but that didn't stop him from completing the transaction.
Long Yu chuckled at the middle-aged man's words. As for the ancient shadow on the third floor of the Spring Heavenly Pagoda, he didn't move at all. He only said in a low voice, "30,000 divine coins is 30,000 divine coins. That's the starting price you said yourself. Now that no one else is bidding, you're trying to raise the price. That's too much."
Long Yu had 100,000 divine coins on him, but he wasn't a fool. The other party's blatant bid made him rather unhappy.
"I believe that with your status, 10,000 divine coins isn't much."
The middle-aged man didn't back down. He said in a low voice, "But to me, an extra 10,000 divine coins might be able to save one more brother!"
"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me."
Long Yu's ancient shadow didn't waver. He insisted, "30,000 divine coins. If you don't want to sell, then forget it."
"…"
The middle-aged man looked like he was struggling, but he nodded with great difficulty. "30,000 divine coins it is."
Only then was Long Yu satisfied. He took out thirty thousand shenbi and used the Nether Void Dragon Blade in his hand to gather spatial energy and transfer it to the primordial phantom.
30,000 divine coins condensed into a fist-sized crystal. The ancient shadow took it out and placed it in the middle-aged man's hand. Then, he took the Shadow Celestial Stone from the stall.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, the ancient shadow used Divine Concealment and suddenly disappeared from the spot!
Long Yu was such a person. The life and death of strangers had nothing to do with him. The middle-aged man had nothing to do with him. This was just a transaction.
