Chapter 422

From the nameless small mountain teleported over, it is about two thousand miles away from Yangshan Market, which is not too far. According to the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's sword flight, the three of Song Qingming can rush back to Yangshan Market in about half a day.

Along the way, Xu Ziyan and Song Qingming also chatted as they walked. Although the two were old acquaintances, they had endless things to say after not seeing each other for many years.

Like Song Qingming, although Xu Ziyan has also successfully cultivated to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment over the years, she has also been born and died outside, performing various dangerous sect tasks.

Compared with Core Formation seeds like Li Yungong and Duan Xueyi who are backed by Core Formation teachers and focused on by the sect, Foundation Establishment cultivators like Xu Ziyan and Gao Yuyao who have no background have much less cultivation resources in the Xiaoyao Sect. They can cultivate to the present mainly by relying on their own efforts.

"When I saw you at Taiyue Market back then, I remember that Fellow Daoist Song only cultivated to the third layer of Foundation Establishment. I didn't expect that in just a few decades, your cultivation has caught up with me. This matter of cultivating the Dao is really unpredictable. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Song has encountered any great opportunities again."

Compared with Song Qingming's calmness when seeing her, Xu Ziyan was a bit surprised when she saw Song Qingming's cultivation.

Along the way, Xu Ziyan kept mentioning this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and also wanted to inquire from Song Qingming how he had improved his cultivation so quickly over the years.

"Captain Xu is right. When you and I met back then, we were just small Qi Refining cultivators. At that time, we might not have thought that we would have today's achievements. Those of us who cultivate the Dao are indeed unpredictable."

"Although I have had some opportunities after entering the Dao, they were all just some seniors taking care of me by chance. It is really not worth mentioning. Fellow Daoist, don't laugh at me."

Seeing that Song Qingming didn't want to tell her too much, Xu Ziyan didn't keep asking, and changed the subject:

"Fellow Daoist Song must have gained a lot from participating in the Tiandan Alliance auction this time. I don't know what good things you have obtained?"

Song Qingming shook his head and smiled, "I came in a hurry and didn't bring many spirit stones, so I just bought a few second-grade elixirs that I could use. I have also been here several times before, but due to limited financial resources, I just came to join in the fun."

"I didn't expect that the Tiandan Alliance would really take out Core Formation spiritual objects like Jinyang Fire Essence this time, which is really surprising. I don't know which fellow Daoist has deep opportunities to obtain this object. It is really enviable."

After hearing Song Qingming mention Jinyang Fire Essence, the blue-clothed woman beside Xu Ziyan showed an envious look, her eyes changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Fellow Daoist Song is right. I also came here with Junior Sister Hu to join in the fun because I was curious about this kind of auction..."

Before Xu Ziyan finished speaking, a fast red escape light suddenly appeared not far behind the three of them, and quickly approached them.

"The people behind are coming with bad intentions, let's go quickly!" Xu Ziyan saw that this red escape light kept following behind, seemingly aiming at them, and immediately frowned and shouted, accelerating the speed of her feet with Song Qingming and the others, wanting to shake off the escape light that was chasing them.

However, the red escape light behind, seeing that they accelerated the speed of their flying swords, also immediately flashed red light and increased the escape speed, quickly narrowing the distance between them.

Not long after, as this red escape light turned into a red flying boat, several Foundation Establishment cultivators jumped out of it and stopped Song Qingming and the three.

"Several, we are strangers and have no grudges. Why do you want to stop us here?"

"Hehe! The two of you are walking quite fast, but it's not so easy to slip away from our brother and sister. I don't want to make things too difficult for you. As long as you hand over the things, you can leave on your own now."

Among these five people, the one standing in front speaking is a purple-clothed woman, whose cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment like Song Qingming and Xu Ziyan. The other four were divided into several different directions, surrounding Song Qingming and the three in the middle. These people's cultivation is not weak, and the lowest is also at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment.

After surrounding Song Qingming and the three, they didn't take any action at first, obviously still waiting for the communication situation of the purple-clothed woman who led them.

After surrounding Song Qingming and the three, Xu Ziyan's face changed and she said sternly: "This fellow Daoist, the three of us are just passing by, and we don't have any of your things on us. We are all Xiaoyao Sect disciples, did you misunderstand!"

Seeing Xu Ziyan bring up the identity of the Xiaoyao Sect, the purple-clothed woman snorted and said, "So what if you are Xiaoyao Sect disciples? We are not cultivators of the State of Wei, do we need to be afraid of your identity? Hand over the Jinyang Fire Essence honestly, otherwise none of you will be able to leave today."

Hearing the purple-clothed woman mention Jinyang Fire Essence, not only Xu Ziyan and the Junior Sister Hu who was with her, but even Song Qingming's face changed drastically. He also couldn't believe that the Core Formation spiritual object at the auction before was on Xu Ziyan.

The blue-clothed woman who was following Xu Ziyan, who was already a bit unable to hold her breath, faced the purple-clothed woman's sweeping eyes and said sternly:

"My Senior Sister and I only bid for a second-grade magic tool at the auction, where did the Jinyang Fire Essence you said come from? When did you see us take out this object?"

"Hehe! Little girl, playing this set with me, you are still too young. If we didn't have absolute certainty to know that this object is on you, our brother and sister wouldn't have spent so much effort to come here to find you. Hand over the things obediently, so as not to ruin your face when we start fighting later."

"Ah! Hahahaha..." The other four people who surrounded Song Qingming and the three after listening to the purple-clothed woman's words also followed and showed a trace of teasing laughter.

"You..."

"Junior Sister! No need to say more. If you want to reason with these people, it's useless to rely on your mouth." Xu Ziyan stopped the blue-clothed woman who still wanted to go up to reason, and with a movement of magic power in her hand, there was already a purple long sword.

Seeing that Xu Ziyan intended to take action, the faces of the five purple-clothed women immediately became serious, and they also showed their magic tools. Just when the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly sounded in the middle of the crowd.

"Everyone, you are a bit too impolite to come up and grab things like this. Whether we have the Jinyang Fire Essence you said or not, it has nothing to do with you. Cultivation is not easy. I advise you not to be too impulsive."
