The battle of Carp Island had caused many forces that had designs on Peerless Island to give up.
The forces that could not wait to attack Peerless Island at this time were not considered strong. Carp Island was already one of the best, but even so, Carp Island had suffered heavy losses in the battle. How would the other forces dare to provoke them again?
Especially recently, Peerless Island had recruited many reliable people, and their overall strength had increased by a lot.
As long as Peerless Island could survive this initial period of development, the situation would become more and more stable in the future. When one or two Yue Yaos appeared on the island, they would be able to gain a firm foothold.
Lu Ye's main body had been staying in the cave these days, using the power of the Talent Tree to deduce spirit runes. After consuming a lot of fuel, the new aura concealing spirit rune had been successfully deduced. What he was deducing now was the Life Origin Technique.
Strictly speaking, the Life Origin Technique that had formed with Hu Po was not a spirit rune, but a secret technique. However, after cultivating for so many years, Lu Ye's knowledge and experience had long been different from before. From the perspective of a spirit rune master, any method in this world could be seen as an extension of spirit runes.
Therefore, even if the Life Origin Technique was a secret technique, he could find a way to reverse it and transform it into a corresponding spirit rune.
As long as he could deduce the corresponding spirit rune for the Life Origin Technique, he would be able to find a way to remove it. This way, he would not have to worry about his safety implicating Hu Po and Yiyi in the future.
However, this matter was much more difficult than simply deducing spirit runes. If the Talent Tree had not undergone three transformations, Lu Ye would not have been able to come up with this idea. However, the three transformations of the Talent Tree had given him this opportunity.
While his main body was deducing spirit runes, his clone was moving around outside. The main reason was that Ghost was always suspicious. She would often run over and contact Fa Wuzun with the sound talisman in front of him, as if she wanted to see through his disguise.
In such a situation, Lu Ye could only leave his clone outside.
On this day, Lu Ye suddenly felt the sound talisman vibrate. He picked it up and found that it was a message from Cao Xiang.
Normally, the manager of the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce would not take the initiative to contact him. Now that he had contacted him, it was probably because there was some progress in a matter he had entrusted.
It wasn't news about the Jade Conch Galaxy. Since the last time he got the wrong information from Cao Xiang, Lu Ye didn't ask him to continue investigating.
"Fellow Daoist Li, in seven days, our Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction. At that time, there will be something you need. If you want to participate, please try to collect as many Spirit Jades as possible. Those things are quite expensive."
Of course, Lu Ye knew that the item was expensive, but he didn't lack Spirit Jades now, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to get it.
Phoenix Sky Blue Crystal! This was an extremely rare mineral that was mainly used to refine magic treasures. It was also one of the few treasures that could upgrade a spirit treasure to a magic treasure!
The treasures that cultivators used against their enemies started from the lowest level of spirit tools, followed by magic tools, then spirit treasures, and above that were magic treasures.
It was actually not difficult to upgrade a Spirit Artifact to a Magic Artifact and then to a Spirit Artifact. As long as there were suitable materials, a skilled Weapon Refiner could do it.
Lu Ye's Coiling Mountain Saber had been upgraded step by step in this way. When he first obtained the Coiling Mountain Saber, it was only a spirit tool.
However, upgrading a spirit treasure to a magic treasure was a huge chasm. This was because the nature of the two was completely different. One was for cultivators below Yue Yao, while the other was for cultivators above Yue Yao.
This kind of upgrade not only required a skilled Weapon Refiner, but also a few extremely special materials. Even if the other materials were expensive, the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce could buy them. Only the rarest material was not available in stock.
Phoenix Sky Blue Crystal was an item that could only be found by chance.
Cultivators of other sects didn't have this problem at all. They could just upgrade their strength to Yue Yao and buy a few suitable magic treasures.
This problem was unique to Weapon Refiners.
Weapon Refiners were extremely dependent on their weapons. For example, when Lu Ye had exchanged the Coiling Mountain Saber for the Crimson Dragon Saber, it would more or less affect his strength, even if the Crimson Dragon Saber was about the same size and weight as the Coiling Mountain Saber.
Therefore, after Weapon Refiners advanced to Yue Yao, they faced an awkward problem. They could either give up on the weapon that had accompanied them for so long and exchange it for a magic treasure of similar quality, or they could think of a way to upgrade their weapon!
Lu Ye wasn't willing to exchange. The Coiling Mountain Saber had been with him for so many years and had experienced countless battles. It could be said that it was one of the things he relied on to reach his current level. It wasn't just a weapon; it was an extension of Lu Ye's body.
With the Coiling Mountain Saber in hand, he could display his full strength. If he exchanged it for another weapon, it would more or less affect his strength.
Since he wasn't willing to exchange it, he could only upgrade it, even if he had to pay a huge price.
However, there were so many Weapon Refiners in the world. Lu Ye wasn't the only one who had to face this problem. Other Weapon Refiners also had to face this problem when they advanced to Yue Yao. This made the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal priceless.
It was only in a place like the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, where cultivators from many galaxies gathered and goods came and went frequently. Elsewhere, finding a piece of Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal was harder than ascending to the heavens.
The Ten Thousand Elephant Chamber of Commerce had obtained a piece of Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal from somewhere and wanted to auction it off. This was good news for Lu Ye.
Although he wasn't in a hurry to advance to Yue Yao right now, he would eventually take that step one day. He had asked Cao Xiang to keep an eye on this item in preparation for his advancement to Yue Yao in the future.
If he missed this opportunity, he might not be able to find a second piece in a short time.
Checking the Spirit Jades he had, Lu Ye found that he had about 50 million Spirit Jades. Lu Ye estimated that this much Spirit Jades should be enough for him to use. According to the starry skies' categorization of the value and grade of treasures, these Spirit Jades could almost buy a 9-Star Magic Weapon. It should be enough to buy a piece of Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal.
There should be a lot of people who desired the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal, but not everyone would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. This thing was worth at most ten million Spirit Jades.
Lu Ye was in a good mood. He waited quietly.
A few days later, he walked out of the cave leisurely and set off for the Island of Versatility. The Peerless Island was some distance away from the Island of Versatility, so he had to get there in advance.
Having said that, he had never participated in an auction before. On the contrary, he had held an auction at the Constellation Hall. However, that auction only involved the Twin Qi Connected Array Disc. The auction items of the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce would definitely not be so simple. He could go and broaden his horizons and see what good items were on display at the auction.
After leaving the Peerless Island, he took out the Star Boat he had bought for three hundred thousand Spirit Jades and rushed to the Island of Versatility. The journey was quite peaceful.
Under normal circumstances, when people came and went on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, there would be very few unnecessary conflicts unless they were enemies. It was unlikely that people would start fighting just because they didn't like each other on the way. They were all at least Constellation Realm cultivators, so they still had some self-control and composure. After all, no one knew who the other person was. It would be disastrous if they provoked someone they shouldn't.
On the way, Lu Ye changed his appearance and clothes, and put away the Mountain Pan Saber.
He didn't know what would happen at the auction, but there would definitely be a lot of people fighting for the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal. Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile to avoid being targeted.
When he arrived at the Island of Versatility, he went to the familiar ferry as usual. He paid the fee of Spirit Jades and got a pass to enter the island.
The first time he came here, Lu Ye had fantasized about when he would be able to occupy a spiritual island and make some new things to attract the interest of the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Then, he would build a ferry and collect tolls to make a fortune.
At that time, he only dared to think about it.
But now, in just two years, he really had a spiritual island. Although the Peerless Island was under Chu Shen's control in name, the reason why it could be revived was because of the Minor Constellation Hall's seawater reversal. Therefore, the Peerless Island was basically his.
In two years, the changes were so great. His cultivation had also advanced from the early stage to the late stage.
The only pity was that he didn't have any family or friends to share his joy with in the vast Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
When he arrived at the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce, the hall was very lively. Lu Ye looked around and immediately walked to the side.
On the way here, he had already asked Cao Xiang about it, so he knew what to do at this moment.
There was a private room in this direction. Inside, the steward of the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce was entertaining the guests who were preparing to participate in the auction. The famous top forces didn't need to come here, as the Myriad Elephant Chamber of Commerce would arrange seats for them in advance.
However, individual guests like Lu Ye had to come here first to verify their identity. After all, the auction wasn't a place where just anyone could enter. If there were no restrictions, it would definitely be overcrowded like the 88th hall in the past.
Only those who were qualified to participate in the auction would be given a pass to enter the auction site.
When he arrived, he saw a voluptuous woman wearing revealing clothes sitting there. Seeing Lu Ye, the woman stood up and bowed. Her almond-shaped eyes flashed, "Honored guest, are you preparing to participate in the auction?"
Lu Ye nodded expressionlessly. He then took out a storage ring that he had prepared in advance and handed it over. There was nothing inside, only ten million Spirit Jades.
The woman stretched out her hands and respectfully received it. After scanning it with her Divine Sense, her smile became even more charming, "Honored guest, you have a lot of capital. I hope you can buy what you like in the auction!"
She respectfully handed the storage ring back to Lu Ye along with a jade token with the words "Ding Jiu" written on it.
Lu Ye took it and put it away, then turned and left.
There was still one day before the auction began. He planned to go to the Scattered Market to see if An Zhe had returned. Although they had left a musical note imprint, An Zhe would definitely send him a message if he returned. Since there was no message, there was a high chance that An Zhe didn't reply. After all, An Zhe had said that he would return to this world to transfer goods. It would take about half a year for a round trip.
However, the Scattered Market was on the Myriad Elephant Island, not far away. Moreover, deducing Spirit Runes had consumed a lot of his Talent Tree's fuel reserves. Lu Ye could use this opportunity to buy treasures with the ignition attribute to replenish it.
