658. Chapter 656: Lingxiao City Encounter Danger

I came specially from various places to search for rare treasures.

Zi Xi'er's eyes flashed, she picked up a gorgeous necklace and asked: "Does this necklace have any special qualities?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "This is an 'Ice Heart Necklace', which can enhance ice-element spell power."

It should be very suitable for you.

Hearing this, Su Liyan couldn't help but ask: "How many spirit stones?"

The stall owner thought for a moment and replied: "Ten pieces of high-grade spirit stones."

Su Liyan took out spirit stones to pay, and handed the Ice Heart Necklace to Zi Xi'er.

Zi Xi'er put on the Ice Heart Necklace, immediately feeling a chill from within, and she happily laughed.

Lu Yuan watched Zi Xi'er and Su Liyan's joy, his heart also filled with delight.

At the edge of Baiyun Town, Lu Yuan left the "Flying Snow Caravan" and alone entered the market of cultivators called "Lingxiao City".

This is a bustling place where cultivators from all walks trade Fobao, elixirs, and various cultivation resources.

In the midst of this bustling market, Lu Yuan felt a thick spiritual energy filling the streets and alleys.

He curiously browsed the dazzling array of goods on the stalls, secretly pondering their appeal to ordinary people.

Some stalls displayed ordinary cultivation materials such as spirit herbs and heavenly treasures, while others exhibited peculiar magical devices and precious elixirs.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound rang out, drawing Lu Yuan's attention.

He followed the sound and saw a red-haired, green-eyed, beautiful as a flower yet furious Zi Xi'er standing before a small shop, shouting angrily.

Lu Yuan thought: "How could it be Zi Xi'er?"

He approached the shop and saw the owner, facing the angry Zi Xi'er, putting on a smiling face and saying: "Miss, please calm down; there must be some misunderstanding."

But Zi Xi'er relentlessly scolded: "This 'Green Crystal' is clearly a low-grade spirit stone, yet you claim it's high-grade, daring to deceive me."

"Do you think I don't understand this?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan understood clearly.

He had once obtained a book on gems and spirit stones from an ancient tomb, giving him some knowledge of these refining materials.

Lu Yuan murmured softly: "It seems this stall owner has deceived Zi Xi'er in spirit stone appraisal."

As Lu Yuan's companion, Zi Xi'er previously had little understanding of the path of cultivation.

She had only just begun her cultivation, and her ability to discern spirit stones was insufficient to tell real from fake.

Seeing Lu Yuan enter the shop, the owner instantly felt a sense of vigilance.

He immediately changed his strategy, smiling warmly at Lu Yuan and saying: "Honored guest, may I ask what you need?"

"We have the finest magical devices and elixirs here."

Lu Yuan sized up the shop, smiling and replied: "I'm just browsing, I don't intend to buy anything."

The stall owner understood Lu Yuan's meaning, his face showing a hint of discomfort.

He knew he had lost credibility in front of these two cultivators.

Lu Yuan looked around and noticed a large shop displaying various Fobao and cultivation resources.

He decided to go there to see if there were any Fobao suitable for himself and Su Liyan.

At the same time, he could also look for new cultivation resources.

After finding a secluded courtyard, Lu Yuan began to immerse himself in cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on a huge Xuan Tian stone, the Five Elements Escape Technique circulating in his mind, spiritual power slowly gathering within his body.

To prevent external interference, Lu Yuan set up a simple Detection Technique, forming an invisible barrier.

Thus, unless someone breaks the barrier and enters his cultivation space, ordinary people in the outside world cannot sense his presence.

Just as Lu Yuan was immersed in cultivation, a figure suddenly flashed from nearby.

It was the golden steward of the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

The golden steward held deep respect for Lu Yuan and praised his cultivation ability without end.

The golden steward quietly revealed to Lu Yuan the powerful influence of the Ziyun Clan in trade, as well as the news that they had used tactics in the Xuan Tian Sect causing other clan disciples to fall.

He also hinted that the Ziyun Clan might have backing from the Blood Moon Sect behind the scenes.

Lu Yuan carefully suppressed his inner shock and anger, maintaining calm thought.

As the sole provider of spiritual medicines and elixirs in Heavenly Wind City, Lei Huo Dan Ge, he clearly understood he bore a greater responsibility.

Xuan Tian Sect is a major force in the entire cultivation world; if it were controlled by the Ziyun Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although worry burned in his heart, Lu Yuan kept a composed expression, merely suggesting they could contact some strong loose cultivators as assistance.

He knew that relying solely on his and Su Liyan's strength might be difficult to oppose the Ziyun Clan and the Blood Moon Sect behind them.

The golden steward nodded, praising Lu Yuan's decision, and told him some information.

At a recent cultivation sword discussion, Mo Di, the Dragon Clan prince, displayed astonishing strength and shocked the entire audience.

If they could contact him, it would bring great assistance to Lu Yuan.

Upon hearing the name Mo Di, Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a glint; he had long heard legends of the Dragon Clan and was quite interested in befriending and connecting with them.

The golden steward wished Lu Yuan smooth sailing and then took his leave.

Lu Yuan then continued his cultivation, pondering how to contact Mo Di, the Dragon Clan prince.

That night, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan met in a mountain forest above Lingxiao City.

They quietly discussed the threats that the Ziyun Clan and Blood Moon Sect might bring.

Su Liyan frowned slightly, she clearly understood these forces were powerful and sinister, manipulating the myriad aspects of the cultivation world from behind the scenes.

As time passed, the Flying Snow Caravan prepared to set off for Huafang City to participate in the upcoming large trade fair.

Everyone readied themselves; Lu Yuan leapt onto a snow-white steed, raising his head to lead the team forward.

Along the way, the caravan's progress was relatively smooth, but once they left the Profound Heaven Sect's territory by five hundred li, the road became rugged and uneven.

The caravan endured several small-scale attacks and setbacks, but each time they were resolved by Lu Yuan's profound immortal arts and calm response.

In a particularly intense battle, the enemy numbers suddenly surged, and while Bai Lin and the others were desperately coping, Lu Yuan quickly deployed the Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation.

He raised the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, and firelight instantly spread from the blade, turning into an energy storm of intertwining lightning.

This huge energy storm swept in like a flood, swallowing up all the enemies.

They didn't even have the strength to fight back, and were annihilated by an unstoppable force.

Bai Lin and the others stared wide-eyed at what was happening before them, never imagining that Lu Yuan's strength could be so great.

"Is this the immortal art that Lu Yuan has mastered?"

"Amazing!" Bai Lin exclaimed excitedly.

Su Liyan then whispered to Bai Lin, "Lu Yuan has cultivated for many years and mastered many profound immortal arts." (End of chapter)
