Chapter 3062: Dan Artifact Enhancement

Ye Liuyun felt that lately their refining of artifacts and pills had hit a bottleneck; it was because Tong Xin, Lin Luoyi and others had been groping on their own and needed an upgrade, and within the Space World they could not access more advanced refining methods.

He planned to capture a few masters of artifact and pill refining, or to send Tong Xin and Lin Luoyi to learn higher techniques.

In the entire Huo Yin Star System, the highest artifact‑refining is the Chen family, the highest pill‑refining is the Xu Dan Sect, and people from these two major forces certainly will not come to the desolate sea expedition, so he cannot encounter them and must start with the families that supply herbs and ores.

The Fan Cheng he captured belongs to the family that supplies herbs to the Xu Dan Sect, while the He family supplies ores to the Chen family.

These two people also know some artifact and pill masters, so Ye Liuyun had them go back to inquire how to get people into those schools to learn.

If that route fails, he will target a few famous alchemists and artifact masters and seize them directly.

Now these two are both helping Ye Liuyun gather information, and at the same time they pass on important family mineral‑vein and herb information to him, making it easier for him to acquire.

Ye Liuyun also uses this time to intensify his cultivation.

He currently still holds a Star System Primordial Power, half a bloodline essence chunk, and an unabsorbed five‑colored Refinement Stone; the stone was seized from another family earlier, he had not been willing to use it, but now plans to absorb it all.

There is still a lot of Divine Soul Power in the Soul Sealing Pearl that he has not had time to absorb, and this time he will consume those resources as well; as for the resources needed for the Second Clone's simultaneous upgrade, he will have to seize them himself in the Duqiao Star System.

The Second Clone, leading a large force, has already begun sweeping the Duqiao Star System; their strength is already among the top, and each battle the Second Clone specifically targets strong opponents, often finding high‑end resources.

The Demon Lion specializes in stealing from merchant guilds and Chengzhu Fu, which are Treasure Vaults with large resources, and often encounters high‑end resources, so its resource income is also considerable.

Ye Liuyun and his clone have been accelerating cultivation; after a month, the Divine Soul in the Soul Sealing Pearl, that half blood chunk, and the five‑colored Refinement Stone have all been refined away by the two of them, and the Star System Primordial Power he consumed an extra ten percent.

He gave a good amount of the Divine Soul from the Soul Sealing Pearl to Xue Lang, which made Xue Lang willingly practice Spatial Power with him; Leng Yuan was the busiest, not only assisting Ye Liuyun and the clone in practicing attacks using various Divine Soul powers, but also battling with them to condense Divine Core and Heaven and Earth Power.

His Physical Body also became tougher; Xue Lang and Leng Yuan cannot damage it, only Kuailei with a knife fighting Ye Liuyun can wound his body, slicing out blood marks, but he does not mind, treating it as an experience of a True Ninth‑rank weapon's attack.

After Ye Liuyun absorbed these forces, he also felt that the Divine Soul, bloodline and Physical Body each needed further condensation.

But Lin Luoyi's pill grade is insufficient, not enough for him to condense these forces, so he had to rush to the local merchant guild to ask whether there are pills that can condense these forces.

The sales guide who received him thought he didn't look like a rich person, so the items she recommended all fell short of his needs.

He asked about many high‑grade weapons, treasures and pills, but the guide was indifferent.

Until Ye Liuyun tossed her some Divine Crystals, the guide's attitude improved a bit, but she still told Ye Liuyun: "Young master, we basically never sell True Ninth‑rank pills directly. Even if we have them, we put them up for auction."

"The pills you want are actually items we auction regularly. Every month we bring in some of these pills that condense various forces for auction."

"However, these are resources that all Martial Cultivators scramble for; without sufficient strength, even if you have the money to win the bid, you probably can't take them away."

In fact, the Divine Crystals Ye Liuyun gave her weren't considered a large sum here, so although the guide was a bit more enthusiastic, she still thought Ye Liuyun could not afford them.

Ye Liuyun then insisted, "Miss, don't worry

Since I want to buy, I will definitely find a way to take it away. Just ask me if there's any such pill auction soon. Whether it condenses a single force or like the Bone‑Marrow Pill that can condense all forces, either works."

After speaking, he also took out some Divine Crystals and stuffed them to the guide.

Seeing this, the guide, unable to refuse money, had to go help Ye Liuyun specifically ask the Steward.

Then she returned and replied to Ye Liuyun: "In three days there will be an auction; True Ninth‑rank pills that condense Divine Soul, bloodline, Physical Body and True Essence will all be present, even a True Ninth‑rank Bone‑Marrow Pill that can condense all forces at once. But the starting price is several hundred units of Primordial Power."

"Primordial Power?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that the auction here priced everything in Primordial Power.

However, such pills are valuable, and Ye Liuyun could understand that; after all, Martial Cultivators at this level have absorbed massive resources, and without condensing them future progress cannot be guaranteed.

The guide, seeing his surprise, still thought he truly couldn't afford it, and just smiled and shook her head.

Ye Liuyun also noticed her expression, but he kept asking, "How do I join that auction?"

The guide looked at Ye Liuyun with some surprise, not understanding why he would go to an auction when he can't afford anything.

Ye Liuyun could only say helplessly, "If I can't afford it, I can at least go take a look, right?"

"Of course you can!" the guide realized and immediately said. Selling a spot at the auction gives them a commission; if there's money to be made, they certainly won't pass it up.

"We can book directly here. A private room costs two million top‑grade Divine Crystals, individual seats five hundred thousand top‑grade Divine Crystals." The guide instantly quoted Ye Liuyun.

"Then I'll book a private room!" Ye Liuyun immediately took out a Storage Ring containing two million top‑grade Divine Crystals and handed it to the guide.

He was a bit surprised, not expecting a private room to cost so many Divine Crystals, but he didn't show it, lest the guide make more idle remarks and mock him.

The guide hadn't expected Ye Liuyun could spend so many Divine Crystals on a private room, but she didn't care about his motives and immediately took the crystals to the Steward to process, fearing Ye Liuyun might change his mind.

After a while, the guide returned with a sign and handed it to Ye Liuyun, informing him of the exact time and location of the auction.

Ye Liuyun immediately left the merchant guild, not saying another word of idle talk to her.

He also used the Slave Seal in his mind to notify Mao Ze, urging him to quickly improve his strength so that later he can take him to steal good stuff.

The guide also realized Ye Liuyun was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't care, thinking that a lone cultivator like him might never return; even if he did, he wouldn't have money to buy anything good.
