(ps: I’ve made some major changes to the previous chapter. You may want to read it again.)
“System, I choose 2 and 3.”
Wang Ping made a decision without hesitation.
As Wang Ping made his choice, his body began to make cracking noises, and a terrifying amount of Qi and Blood appeared within him. His physical strength also soared at a crazy rate.
At the same time, a new Martial Skill appeared in Wang Ping’s mind. It was the Sunset Sword Skill, a powerful sword skill that is like a setting sun.
“Phew, this feeling is amazing.”
Wang Ping felt the power coursing through his body, as if he had an endless source of strength. He couldn’t help but show joy on his face.
After reaching the Spirit Sea Realm in his cultivation, his body had been strengthened to a certain extent. However, compared to his current physique, the difference was as distinct as heaven and earth.
Now, just by relying on his physical body alone, he could easily defeat a Spirit Sea Domain Stronger with one punch no exaggeration at all.
Even if he were to encounter a Perfect Spiritual Embryo Realm Expert, he could still clash with them head-on without any shortcomings, and perhaps even have the chance to win.
At this moment, Jiang Huai sensed the changes in Wang Ping’s body and was shocked to the extreme. He couldn’t figure out why Wang Ping had suddenly become so powerful.
Simultaneously, Jiang Huai’s face turned incredibly ugly.
Wang Ping openly revealed his secrets in front of him, which could only mean one thing.
That is, Wang Ping intended to make a move on him.
“Don’t kill me. I can teach you the secrets of the Sunset Sword Skill and many other Secret Skills,” Jiang Huai didn’t bother with nonsense about Wang Ping being unrighteous, and directly spoke.
“Sorry, you know too many of my secrets. It’s time for you to go,” Wang Ping coldly dismissed Jiang Huai’s plea.
Jiang Huai’s face turned even uglier as he tried to escape from the Soul Nurturing Ring without any hesitation.
Unfortunately for him, Jiang Huai was too weak at this point, and even Spiritual Realm Experts could easily deal with him.
As a result, Wang Ping simply restrained him with a casual wave of his hand, eliminating him completely.
After getting rid of Jiang Huai, Wang Ping remained emotionally undisturbed and showed little emotion.
He wouldn’t kill for no reason. Jiang Huai indeed posed a threat and knew too many secrets about Wang Ping, which meant he had to be dealt with.
“Next, it’s time to head for the Seven Stars Archipelago.”
Wang Ping scanned the Stone Cave with his Spiritual Sense, quickly found the exit, and left.
Admittedly, this deserted island was very remote and rarely visited by people, far from the Seven Stars Archipelago.
It took Wang Ping a lot of effort to finally find the Seven Stars Archipelago.
By the time he reached the outskirts of the Seven Stars Archipelago, it had already grown dark.
“Next, how should I obtain Mid-tier Spirit Stones?”
As Wang Ping strolled through the streets of Purple Forest City, the Main City of Island No. 81, he enjoyed the street food while contemplating his next steps.
Although he was a 4th Tier alchemist, it was still quite difficult to earn a large number of Mid-tier Spirit Stones in the Seven Stars Archipelago.
Moreover, becoming a 5th Tier Alchemist and refining 5th Tier Elixirs was quite a time-consuming process.
“Hmm, I should first exchange some Cultivation Skills for Mid-tier Spirit Stones, then use the life simulation to gain Elixir-refining Experience rewards. As long as my alchemist ranking improves, earning enough Spirit Stones will be a piece of cake. That way, I won’t have to worry about running out of Spirit Stones for quite some time.”
Having made up his mind, Wang Ping headed for the largest auction in Purple Forest City.
“I need to auction this item. Please evaluate its value for me.”
Wang Ping placed the prepared Golden Shield Secret Manual in front of the appraiser and spoke calmly.
“A Lower Earth-Tier Martial Skill? Senior, are you sure you want to auction this treasure?”
The appraiser looked at the Golden Shield with astonishment and asked.
The strongest force on Island No. 81 was the Purple Spirit Sect, and the Purple Spirit Auction was organized by the sect.
Although the Purple Spirit Sect was the strongest force on this island, their highest-ranked expert was only at the Spirit Sea Realm Peak.
Even though this level of power wouldn’t be considered weak in the Seven Stars Archipelago, it still wasn’t regarded as strong.
As a result, the Purple Spirit Auction was less prominent compared to other auctions organized by more powerful sects.
In past auctions, items put up for sale were predominantly for cultivators below the Spirit Sea Realm, and items useful to Spirit Sea Realm cultivators were considered the grand finale.
Wang Ping’s Earth-tier Martial Skill may seem ordinary, but regular Spirit Sea Realm experts would still find it attractive.
Ordinary Spirit Sea Realm experts, such as those from regular sects and loose cultivators, often practiced only a few Earth-tier Martial Skills.
Defensive Martial Skills like the Golden Shield were even rarer among ordinary Spirit Sea Domain Stronger cultivators. Even in a sect like the Purple Spirit Sect, they would be highly valued.
Thus, this Martial Skill could be used as the grand finale of the biannual auction.
“Mm,” Wang Ping nodded and calmly spoke, “Please evaluate its value for me. I may consider selling it directly to the Purple Spirit Auction. Whatever price it fetches will be unrelated to me.”
There were still a few months before the next Purple Spirit Auction took place, and Wang Ping couldn’t afford to wait that long.
Therefore, even if it meant losing a bit, he needed to obtain enough Mid-tier Spirit Stones first.
With the Mid-tier Spirit Stones, he could proceed with the life simulation. Once he gained enough powerful Elixir-refining Experience, there would be no fear of not earning enough Spirit Stones..
