The spirit items auctioned later were all of extraordinary quality, including many high-grade spirit beast cores. These were the crystallization of all the energy of a spirit beast's entire life, and the energy contained within them would be terrifying if absorbed.
The lower realm spirit beast ranking system is no longer applicable; the new story will use a completely new setting.
Some of them even reached the level of Venerable Beasts, or even Saintly Venerable Beasts. Absorbing even half of one could probably allow a Supreme Cultivator to advance several levels. But I've never heard of anyone daring to swallow a crystal core whole.
[Supreme Beast (highest level in the lower realm), Holy Beast, Spirit Beast, Spiritual Beast, Venerable Beast, Holy Venerable Beast...]
PS: Similarly, I'll reiterate the ranks of characters from the previous realm here to avoid confusion for anyone reading this. Just don't project your understanding onto the past. Right now, it's about Dao Qi, which can be considered the kind of enlightenment. Whether it's beast taming or sword wielding, it all comes down to Dao cultivation.
[Supreme, Void Breaker (Lower Realm), Supreme Saint, Spiritual Tempering, Spiritual Connection, Spiritual Venerable, Soul Fusion...]
There were even quite a few strange elixirs and Dao techniques, and even Heavenly Dao Fruits. This made Lin Chen feel that the things the system gave him still belonged to this world. It seemed he would have to extort more from it next time.
This made Lin Chen think that this place truly lived up to its reputation as the most chaotic place in the Upper Realm. The Asura Domain was indeed extraordinary; it was a place where money could buy anything, and where even a dog could bite if you had the power.
As night fell, the bustling Shura Ghost Market gradually quieted down, and the people from all over who had found the treasures slowly disappeared into the night. After all, when you're out in the world, having your treasures in your possession prevents others from coveting them.
I'm not afraid of theft or robbery, but I'm afraid of someone who has their eye on me and tries to trip me up in secret.
"Hey, Brother Lin, we've spent so many crystals today just to buy this sword technique of unknown rank. Was it worth it?" he asked the younger boy as they walked away.
“Xiao Song, you don’t understand. Although we don’t know the level of this Dao technique yet, think about it. This was left behind by a Sword Dao Spirit Venerable expert. It’s definitely not something ordinary. Moreover, this Dao technique is mainly for our third brother. He’s the only one in our family who cultivates swordsmanship. We don’t have a suitable Dao technique for him.” Brother Lin explained to Xiao Song.
“We won’t stay in Sheng’an City tonight. Let’s go straight back to Shengping City to avoid any unforeseen problems. Hang in there, Xiao Song,” Xing Lin said.
"Okay, big brother."
The wind howled, stirring up dust and sand, and a sense of crisis filled the air.
"Gentlemen, what a coincidence! Where are you rushing to? Could we go the same way?" Lin Chen and his group hurried up in front of them and stopped them.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Seeing a group of about ten people and a large spirit beast, the two panicked a little, Xing Lin said.
"Do you know who we are? Haven't you heard of the Xing family of Shengping City?" Xing Song spoke with a nervous expression, showing that his strength was as great as his young age.
"Oh? Shengping City? The Xing family? I don't know. Our Tianxuan Sect just robs whoever we see. You two are just unlucky today." Ye Yao said coldly to them.
Ye Yao reverted to her former aloof demeanor; this was more like an empress—cold, beautiful, and ruthless.
"Heh, a robbery, huh? Let's see if you have the ability." Xing Lin looked at them. Although he couldn't gauge their strength, his intuition told him that these people weren't strong; they were just relying on their numbers.
True masters of martial arts, whether stealing treasures or committing murder and robbery, always do so discreetly, with as few people as possible. This was the first time I'd ever seen a group of ten or so robbers like this.
"Let's do it, brothers," Ye Yao said without hesitation.
In an instant, dozens of Supreme Beings surrounded the two of them. Their respective cultivation techniques flowed, and they immediately entered combat mode. A swift victory was paramount; it was the first principle of robbery.
Of course, Lin Chen taught him this; he's full of crooked and unorthodox methods.
"Gas circulation"
"Spiritual Waves Swiftly Flowing"...
Each of their combat techniques was unleashed, stirring up gusts of withered leaves. The Xing brothers, surrounded by the formation, endured the pressure of energy coming from all directions.
"Brother Song, step back. Let your brother handle this battle. I thought they were some powerful people, but they're just a bunch of petty thieves who are at the Supreme level." Xing Lin said to Xing Song, as if he already had the battle in his grasp. After all, their cultivation level was detected the moment they used their spiritual energy.
"Drink." With a low shout, seven white spiritual waves rose up and surrounded Xing Lin.
"Seventh-level Supreme? With this little strength, how could your family trust you to come to this Asura Ghost Market? What a joke!" Lin Chen mocked.
"Enough with the nonsense." Xing Lin threw a punch directly at a Supreme being a short distance away. He really didn't take a mere First-Stage Supreme seriously.
That ascended supreme being still cultivated defensive techniques, his body covered in spiritual wave armor. When he was in the lower realm, his defense was extremely strong, and none of his peers could break through it.
A fist flew past so fast that he couldn't react in time and it landed squarely on him.
With a "whoosh," the spiritual wave armor that had been condensed was blasted into pieces, and the person was sent flying dozens of meters away.
"Is that all? You dare to rob us?? I suggest you all come at us together."
“You’re no match for them, step back, I’ll handle this,” Lin Chen said.
Lin Chen had grown much larger by now. The hair that had been disheveled in the City Lord's Mansion was now smoother, which showed that the improvement in his cultivation level had indeed been very useful.
Its entire body is covered in white fur, and a lifelike royal seal hangs on its head. A pair of red wings on its back exude the aura of an ancient phoenix. It is indeed very intimidating. It remains to be seen whether Xing Lin will be afraid.
"Oh? Fusion with a spirit beast? I've never been to the Beast Realm before, so I'll use you to test it out," Xing Song said.
"Xing Clan Dao Technique - Frost Dao Technique, begin."
With the release of a Dao incantation, Xing Song's seven rings of spiritual energy intensified, and also revealed a faint chill.
"Derivative Dao Technique, Begin!"
Lin Chen, naturally unwilling to be outdone, immediately activated his Dao techniques to the fullest extent, preparing to defend himself. Since beginning his cultivation, Lin Chen's previous techniques had undoubtedly undergone a qualitative leap.
Lin Chen, still intending to use a blitzkrieg, flashed behind Xing Song. Seeing Xing Song hesitate, "Demon Phoenix Flame" struck him directly in the back.
Despite the raging flames, Xing Song's aura only weakened slightly.
"My clan's Cold Technique is the natural counter to your flames. As for the Phoenix Flame, with your strength as a Supreme Being, you can't hurt me."
After Xing Song finished speaking, he unleashed several icy punches, each carrying a chilling aura, and began to bombard Lin Chen behind him.
Lin Chen didn't dodge; he used the same trick he had used to defend against the city lord's guards.
