Chapter 355: with translation of chapter title

Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil to repeatedly examine that Alien Evil Artifact.

When he saw the Crystal Core, he suddenly felt something was off; this Foreign Tribe seemed not completely dead. Inside the Crystal Core there existed a wisp of the Foreign Tribe's Soul. However, the Crystal Core's defense was extremely strong; he could only see it, but could not extinguish that wisp of Divine Sense.

He immediately asked Qiong Qi: "I discovered that in the Foreign Tribe's Crystal Core there seems to still be a wisp of Soul existing; it hasn't died completely."

Qiong Qi also used Divine Sense to probe it, but found nothing abnormal; yet he believed Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil. "It looks like a trap; whoever buys this Kuailei and takes it back will surely suffer a great loss!"

At this point, Xu Dongyun on the stage continued his introduction: "Furthermore, this Foreign Tribe Kuailei has its own Crystal Core and does not need an external power source. As long as you use that black Crystal Stone on the coffin, you can control this Kuailei."

While saying this, he also put on a show for the crowd. He picked up the black Crystal Stone on the coffin lid, infused it with Divine Sense. Sure enough, that Foreign Tribe Kuailei leapt up from the coffin.

"Let's go! Whoever wants to buy it can buy it; we no longer need to stay here!" Ye Liuyun said to Qiong Qi and Long Ximeng, then stored the two of them in his Storage Ring, passed through the Teleportation Array, and directly returned to the Northern Domain Alliance.

Because of the Formation set up by Qiong Qi that isolated spatial fluctuations, no one noticed they had left.

Everyone was excited about encountering such a Kuailei. If they could buy it, it would be equivalent to the family or Sect gaining a Heavenly Gang Peak expert, which would have a huge impact on the Sect. This deal would be worthwhile no matter how much money they spent.

Thus, the crowd still went into a bidding frenzy. However, what struck them as odd was that Ye Liuyun remained silent the whole time. They thought he dared not show interest, so they bid even more enthusiastically.

In the end, that Foreign Tribe Kuailei was bought by Tian Can for three hundred million top-grade Crystal Stones. Moreover, he immediately controlled that Kuailei on the spot, and even glanced toward Ye Liuyun's room, as if threatening Ye Liuyun.

Everyone also rushed over, wondering why there was suddenly no movement from Ye Liuyun's place.

At this moment, Xu Dongyun also announced the end of this auction, saying some polite remarks.

However, many people did not leave the auction hall; instead, they all gazed toward Ye Liuyun's room door, wanting to see what the person inside looked like.

Yet after waiting a long time, no one came out.

"This guy probably doesn't dare to come out, right?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't come out either! Facing so many experts, coming out would just be asking for death!"

The people below whispered speculations. Those few Sea Demons even started to sneer: "You weren't so arrogant before? Come out now!"

Seeing this, Xu Dongyun had no choice but to go look for Ye Liuyun, wanting to discuss what to do. Their Heavenly Speech Pavilion could offer some protection, but they couldn't keep Ye Liuyun there forever!

But when he went over and knocked on the door, there was indeed no movement inside. Immediately, he pushed the door open, only to find the room completely empty.

Others' Divine Sense also probed in at the same time, discovering that there was no one inside, and they couldn't help but feel strange.

"Where is the person?"

"No wonder this brat dared to offend people so recklessly; turns out he had a backup plan!"

Many people understood, smiled, and without waiting to see the fun, they left the auction hall directly.

Tian Can fell silent for a moment, then also left. The few black-clad, masked women of Moyin Fang also left shortly after. The Grand Elder of Lieyun Pavilion, Pei Yong, and those few Sea Demons deliberately ran to Ye Liuyun's room to take a look.

"He left via a Formation teleportation. No one can find him now!" Xu Dongyun said gloomily. He had never seen someone so capable before. At least in aspects of Formation and Soul, he should be a master.

Pei Yong and the Sea Demons beat their chests in frustration, yet there was nothing they could do.

After returning to the Alliance, Ye Liuyun immediately changed his clothes, removed his mask, and directly teleported again to Shuiyue Pavilion.

After returning, he released everyone from the Storage Ring, and they all activated their cultivation mode.

Not long after they returned, Pavilion Chief Li came to look for Ye Liuyun. He had timed his arrival. Someone over there said that as soon as the auction ended, he would rush over. Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun and his group arrived even earlier than him.

"We were delayed and didn't go to the auction."

Ye Liuyun didn't bother to explain further; he first collected the Crystal Core and Beast Core, had Wu Qingcheng pay the money, then sent Pavilion Chief Li back.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun used the Teleportation Array Disc to make a trip back to the Alliance, exchanged the Crystal Core for a large amount of Divine-grade Essence Blood and Five Elements Qi. Then, using a separate Storage Ring, he packed two hundred portions of Divine-grade Essence Blood and Five Elements Qi, together with the recently acquired Moonlight Stone and Ocean's Heart, and went to find the owner of Shuiyue Pavilion, asking her to help deliver the items to Liang Xue.

Both the Moonlight Stone and the Ocean's Heart are energy-type heavenly treasures; he felt their nature was close to Liang Xue's True Essence attribute. Even if absorbed as ordinary energy, it shouldn't be wasted. Since the people around him all had Spirit Stones and Xuan Kong Shi to accelerate their cultivation, he was instead more concerned about Liang Xue's cultivation progress.

"No problem!" The owner readily agreed.

"Besides, I'll leave you some Crystal Stones. I might leave at any time. However, my friend Long Ximeng may continue to stay here. All her expenses will be on my account. Please let her stay and treat her well. If the Crystal Stones aren't enough, just let me know."

Ye Liuyun also left half a year's worth of lodging fees for the owner. The owner agreed to all of them.

After arranging everything, he returned to his residence, communicated with Liang Xue using a Transmission Talisman, then handed over all the resources to Wu Qingcheng, and proceeded to enter the Xuan Kong Shi to refine the Golden Crow Holy Fire.

Ye Liuyun's own True Essence-integrated flame is precisely the Golden Crow Holy Fire. Thus, this time merging with the Golden Crow Holy Fire went very smoothly; he easily refined that flame.

With the addition of this Golden Crow Holy Fire, not only did his flame power become stronger, but his True Essence also became more solid. The solidified True Essence particles bonded more tightly, and the Yuan Dan wall and True Essence further merged.

Ye Liuyun quickly took out many Yuan Dan from sea beasts, began absorbing them, and also placed a large number of Spirit Stones beside him, in one go breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm.

"After the breakthrough, my strength has doubled again. If this continues, someday I'll be able to split heaven and earth with a single punch!"

Ye Liuyun felt the power after his breakthrough and finally understood why those mighty experts could unleash such earth-shaking power. If he continues to grow at this rate, before long his strength will be unmatched.

In the following time, Ye Liuyun remained inside the Xuan Kong Shi to consolidate his realm, while also absorbing Essence Blood and Five Elements Qi to temper his body.

The people around him also broke through one after another; during this period they fought very frequently, and each received ample training, especially several Monster Beasts, who refined many sea beasts' Yuan Dan and advanced quite rapidly.

Qiong Qi broke through to the Tian Gang Second Layer. Lei Ming reached Yuan Dan Sixfold, Bai Hu reached Yuan Dan Fifth Layer, Shi Yuan reached Yuan Dan Fourth Layer. Wu Qingcheng broke through to Yuan Dan Third Layer.

What made Ye Liuyun most pleased was that, after using the resources Ye Liuyun Xin had brought back, Yu Er and Ru Yue each, one after another, also broke through to the Yuan Dan Realm.

Moreover, everyone's bloodline power and Physical Body, after absorbing divine‑grade essence blood and the five‑element qi, underwent a transformation as if reborn.
