Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Looking Forward to Your Performance The Immortal Martial Dao Skill attained Perfection, and Bai Ziyue’s aura instantly became nearly twice as robust as before. Every movement carried a natural Daoist skill aura. "At this moment, the number of acupoints I have ignited has already surpassed that of a typical Perfection of the Enlightenment Realm cultivator, reaching four hundred and four acupoints..." Bai Ziyue felt the number of acupoints operating within his body, and suddenly an inexplicable sense of panic surged over him, as if a great calamity was about to befall him. Hurriedly, he focused his mind and once again tapped on the Attribute Panel. "Spending 60,000 points of Soul Energy could ignite one acupoint." "The acupoint not operated through a cultivation technique, its energy consumption has directly doubled upon ignition?" Bai Ziyue was slightly puzzled, and suddenly, he understood somewhat why the Grand Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect had only ignited just over thirty acupoints in thirty years. But that ominous feeling of impending doom prevented him from thinking too deeply, so he quickly opted to ignite. "Ignite!" In an instant, Bai Ziyue felt a slight tremor, and a new acupoint was immediately penetrated and ignited. As his aura became even more robust, the number of ignited acupoints he had jumped from four hundred and four to four hundred and five. Correspondingly, the inexplicable sensation quickly subsided, allowing him to finally breathe a long sigh of relief. Subsequently, Bai Ziyue opened his storage bag, and a jade box, along with a head-sized sparkling jade stone, appeared before him. The jade disc contained the Coiling Dragon Fruit. While the sparkling jade stone was the Earth Spirit Marrow. Apart from his daily secluded cultivation, he hadn’t given up on using these two Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Although, over time, the enhancements these two treasures provided him had gradually diminished, he could still distinctly sense the improvement in his strength and the formidable defense power of his physical body. "The effect of the Coiling Dragon Fruit has become minuscule; I originally thought it could directly increase my physical strength by more than double, but it only increased by eighty percent. Nevertheless, even so, my strength has greatly increased, far surpassing that of the Early-stage Spirit Communication Realm Earth Demon Ape, and comparable to an ordinary Late-stage Spirit Communication Realm Great Demon. As for the effect of this Earth Spirit Marrow, it was indeed miraculous. From a grindstone size to now a head size, this Earth Spirit Marrow has more than doubled my physical body’s defense power. I reckon that even without deploying a defensive spiritual treasure or magic, I could withstand a full-force attack from an Early-stage Enlightenment Realm cultivator. Once all the remaining Earth Spirit Marrow is depleted, I estimate I could even withstand attacks from a mid-stage Enlightenment Cultivator." Bai Ziyue silently thought, directly consuming twelve Coiling Dragon Fruits, then once again operating the cultivation technique to absorb the special spiritual power within the Earth Spirit Marrow. As time passed, unnoticed, it was again deep into the night. Bai Ziyue, with practiced ease, used Disguise and Invisibility Technique. In a flash, he vanished from sight. ... In a loft, Huang Qiulong and Huang Qingya sat tensely within. They waited, quietly anticipating the arrival of that mysterious strong figure. Their mood yesterday fluctuated like a mountain’s undulating surface. The family’s crisis weighed heavily on them, leaving them barely able to breathe, and they were already considering compromise, when who could have expected a mysterious strong figure self-styled as the Kunlun Daoist appeared, bringing a great turn for the better to the Huang Family’s predicament. A large number of magical artifacts and spirit talismans valued at three hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones even brought the Huang Family’s Golden Bamboo Sword Workshop back to life from its troubled state. However, conversely, the identity of this odd figure with a hand in wiping out the Grand Daoist Sect, and his straightforward execution of the Third Prince of the Daqian Kingdom, made them uneasy and restless. The threat from the remaining powerhouses of the Grand Daoist Sect was not even worth mentioning. Especially the news of the Third Prince’s demise spreading throughout the Celestial Essence Market today made them genuinely terrified and anxious. Because everyone knew their Huang Family had recently been targeted by the Third Prince, forced to surrender the Golden Bamboo Sword Workshop, yet in such circumstances, the Third Prince Qian Guchuan fell, and the Huang Family suddenly produced numerous valuable Spirit Artifacts, Spirit Pills, and Spirit Talismans... Some with a discerning mind naturally linked the events. Speculating that the death of the Third Prince might be related to them. However, they had no other choice left. At that moment, they even feared that Bai Ziyue might not appear again. "How is it going?" Just then, a calm voice sounded. Immediately following, Bai Ziyue’s figure, dressed in a black robe, looking somewhat weathered, revealed itself. "Elder Kunlun!" "Senior, you have arrived!" Huang Qiulong and Huang Qingya were startled, yet couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, eagerly greeted him. "Thankfully, we didn’t disappoint. The numerous treasures you entrusted to us have all been sold, yielding a total of three hundred thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, all of which are here." Huang Qingya respectfully handed the open storage bag to Bai Ziyue. "Oh? Not bad!" Bai Ziyue showed a hint of satisfaction. Unexpectedly, the Huang father and daughter truly managed to deal with all the various magical artifacts worth three hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones within a single day, and the sale value exceeded his expectations by quite a bit. "This is your reward," Bai Ziyue naturally wouldn’t do anything short-sighted and took out thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones from them, handing it to them. "This..." Both of them felt tempted but were very hesitant. To quickly sell the treasures Bai Ziyue provided, their Huang Family had actually invested heavily, with only half of the magical artifacts really being sold. The remaining half, especially the sensitive magical artifacts and Spirit Talismans, were taken in by their Huang Family themselves. Now their Spirit Stone reserves were nearly depleted. Naturally, they were very tempted by this amount of Spirit Stones. But, they feared Bai Ziyue would end the transaction with them. The fall of their ancestor made them increasingly understand how difficult it was for a family without a powerful protector. Although the crisis with the Third Prince had been resolved, without new protection from a powerful figure, their Huang Family’s business would undoubtedly attract the attention of others. Thus, their emotions were indeed very complex, both fearing Bai Ziyue for annihilating the Grand Daoist Sect and killing the Third Prince with ruthless decisiveness, yet needing Bai Ziyue as their backing... "Take it. In the future, of the items you sell, you can keep ten percent for yourselves as a fee. This is the second batch..." Bai Ziyue said as he tossed another storage bag. "Three middle-grade Spiritual Artifacts, ten low-grade Spiritual Artifacts, seven top-grade magical artifacts... worth over a million low-grade Spirit Stones..." Huang Qiulong carefully took the storage bag, probing it with Spiritual Power, and his expression changed, unable to help but say, "Elder, the value of these items is too high. If we only have a day, it will be difficult for us to sell them. Moreover, if we rashly bring out so many items, our Huang Family cannot bear it. Especially since the Third Prince fell yesterday, and we brought out so many good things, it’s already drawn the attention of some. If we take out these items again, some people will definitely be unable to sit still..." "Elder, our Huang Family certainly doesn’t want to delay. Both Father and Qingya are very willing to help elder. Give us a month. This time, we will organize an auction, notify surrounding loose cultivators, Immortal Cultivation Clan members, and sect disciples to come to ensure we can quickly sell these treasures. But what my father said is not without reason. Our Huang Family has no powerful figures to hold the fort and could be subject to others’ attention at any moment. If powerful figures take action, we certainly cannot resist and will decline and perish. By then, elder will inevitably suffer losses and find it difficult to recover." Huang Qingya quickly spoke up, anxiously explaining. "Then I’ll give you a month," Bai Ziyue nodded slightly. He hadn’t expected the Huang Family to sell the items in a day, but what they said was indeed a problem. So after thinking, he added, "As for your concerns... I can allow you to spread my name. I think my reputation should be able to deter some people. As for those who are stubbornly difficult..." Bai Ziyue casually tossed out a yellowed Spirit Talisman and said, "This is a Ten Thousand Miles Communication Talisman. If you encounter an unstoppable enemy, directly activate this Spirit Talisman. If I receive it, I’ll naturally help you resolve it. Of course, this talisman only has one chance to send a message. I hope you use it with caution until necessary." "Yes!" "Thank you, Elder Kunlun!" Huang Qiulong and Huang Qingya’s eyes brightened, realizing they made the right bet, and quickly responded excitedly. With Bai Ziyue’s name at the forefront, especially considering his powerful strength that destroyed the Grand Daoist Sect single-handedly, most forces wouldn’t dare to provoke him lightly. Even the Royal Family of Daqian Kingdom, for a prince who wasn’t valued, probably wouldn’t be willing to start a war over it. They had taken the risk to make a request earlier because they were seeking precisely Bai Ziyue’s promise, weren’t they? "Additionally, Spirit Stones to me are really just a bunch of numbers and not of much use. If you can collect some exotic treasures for me, cultivation techniques of the Enlightenment Realm level, powerful magic, cultivation secret techniques... If it satisfies me, I’ll naturally reward you appropriately." Then, Bai Ziyue continued speaking. "No problem!" "We’ll pay attention." The two responded more excitedly, quickly agreeing. With mutual efforts, relationships could be maintained. It seemed that they had firmly clung to this elder right before them. Thinking about this, they looked at the Ten Thousand Miles Communication Talisman in their hands with increasing solemnity, having decided to place it in the safest place, carefully maintaining it, and never using it unless necessary. "I look forward to your performance!" Bai Ziyue chuckled softly, and with a slight movement, he disappeared in an instant. Having experienced this once before, Huang Qiulong and Huang Qingya father and daughter didn’t dare to speak too freely and maintained a respectful demeanor. It was only after a full stick of incense passed did they truly relax.
