Li Shen flew away from the Pillar Azure sect to the nearest city. Due to Pillar Azure's remote location, located in the hills and surrounded by forests, the distance to the nearest city was actually very far.
Even so, Li Shen was able to get there fast. He only needed a few steps out of the sect territory to arrive at the sky city.
It was Wei City, with the ruling family of the city being the Wei family. When compared to other cities Li Shen had been to, Wei city was a small one.
'What can I get here?' Li Shen asked.
He landed slowly on the city street, not trying to attract people's attention. Li Shen clearly saw the crowd passing by to their destination.
The man also turned his head and saw many food stalls and shops selling pottery. The economy in this city seemed to be well managed by the Wei Family.
'Wei Family, I know one of their ancestors, Wei Ping.He always comes to ask me for advice when he's at the Immortal Palace,' chimed in Li Shen.
'It seems like they're doing a good job as region leaders.But, people in the cultivation world only see strength, not wisdom,' Li Shen explained.
"ATTENTION!"
"The Mountain Goose Sect Elders are coming. Please make way!"
Someone shouted from behind Li Shen. He turned around and saw 10 men in white suits coming in escorting a woman in their midst.
Her beauty and elegance dazzled many people, her eyes straight ahead staring at the city's auction building. Li Shen pulled over to make way for the group.
'Not only is she charming, her cultivation is already at Golden Core Formation; what an amazing talent,' Li Shen explained.
They continued on without any interruption, Li Shen turned his head to the side, seeing the citizens glued their eyes witnessing the woman's beauty.
'That kind of charm won't be able to attract me,' Li Shen said.
"ATTENTION!"
"The entourage of the Lotus Hill Sect Elders is coming!"
"Make way!"
Li Shen gasped. He turned sideways to see that the entourage from the Hill Lotus Sect had also come to Wei City. That sect was where Li Shen had landed yesterday from Immortal Palace.
What a surprise! The person who came with their entourage was Hong Liang, the perverted stocky man Li Shen had thrown outside the sect the other day.
'It seems that he's recovered quickly with their sect's resources,' Li Shen said.
The two entourages stopped in their tracks, the beautiful woman in the white dress talking gracefully with the fat and smelly rotten man; a comparison that was not pleasing to the eye.
"Elder Hong," greeted the woman.
"Well, I didn't expect Elder Gu to come visit. Are you also interested in the Cultivation Lightning Pill?" asked Hong.
"All cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage are interested in it. You are a master alchemist, you must have realized it, Elder Hong," replied Elder Gu.
"Haha! That's right! For hundreds of years, I tried to make Cultivation Lightning Pills, but always failed. This time, I won't let go of this opportunity!" retorted Elder Hong.
"You'd better hurry up and bring a lot of money. There will be many wandering cultivators coming to the auction this time."
The two finished talking and walked back toward the Wei Family's auction building. Li Shen and everyone else heard this.
'The Cultivation Lightning Pill is a 6th level pill, the creation of which requires the momentum of heaven and earth. It is very useful for Core Formation stage cultivators, in order to strengthen the body and soul core before Nascent Soul breakthrough,' Li Shen explained.
'Even so, the pill has dangerous side effects.It's called cultivation lightning because the body absorbs celestial lightning and infuses it into the body.If it fails, the soul is destroyed, meridians are damaged, and cultivation falls,' Li Shen revealed.
'Do they actually know the consequences of these pills?' Li Shen asked.
Out of curiosity, he walked after them towards the Wei Family's auction building. Elder Gu's words proved true, there were many cultivators from all over the country coming to fight over the Cultivation Lightning Pill.
"Welcome, Master. Do you want to participate in the auction or just want to buy other items?" a female staff member asked.
'I didn't come for the auction, it's better to keep a low profile,' Li Shen explained.
"I came to buy other items," Li Shen replied.
"Alright, come with me, Master Dao."
Li Shen walked in the opposite direction of the cultivators participating in the auction. He arrived at another place where there were many shelves filled with technique scrolls of various levels, as well as pills, formation slips, weapons, and artifacts.
"What do you need, Master Dao?" the woman asked, looking at Li Shen.
The man was silent, turning his head to look at all the technique scrolls. Ye Fa's two disciples were still at the Qi Condensation stage, it was impossible for Li Shen to give them 3rd level techniques and above.
Even so, Li Shen chose to prepare early. If they made it to the Foundation Establishment stage, then they would need stronger technique scrolls.
Unfortunately, Li Shen did not have any lower technique scrolls in his magic bag. He only had a few 12th-level technique scrolls, celestial weapons, millions of celestial-level spirit stones, 10th-level pills, and so on.
"Take all the technique scrolls of levels 1-5. Also take all the medium quality weapons. Then take all the artifacts," Li Shen explained, pointing to several places to leave the woman confused and shocked.
At least, she had gotten what Li Shen wanted. One by one, she took all the items the man wanted. The woman had no idea how rich Li Shen was to buy all those items.
About thirty minutes of waiting, all the items were already before Li Shen. The female staff started counting the items Li Shen bought one by one, there were a total of 187 items of three types.
"The total comes to 875 spirit stones," the woman replied.
"Are you going to pay with spirit stones or exchange them for other items?" the woman asked.
Li Shen took out a Celestial-level spirit stone in front of the woman, a diamond-shaped stone that emitted a bright sparkling light that shocked the woman.
This was the first time she had seen a Celestial-level spirit stone.
"S-Spirit Stone of the celestial level?!" she was shocked.
Spirit stone levels are divided into five: Low, mid, high, heaven, and celestial. The one Li Shen had was a celestial level spirit stone, if exchanged for ordinary ones, it could reach 1,000,000 low level spirit stones.
Apart from being a currency exchange, cultivators used to use spirit stones to cultivate as the spiritual energy stored in them was large, dense, and pure.
"W-Where did you get Celestial-level spirit stones?" the woman asked.
"You don't need to know that."
"One Celestial spirit stone is worth 1,000,000 Low spirit stones. Take all the 6-10 level technique scrolls to fulfill that price amount," Li Shen replied.
"Sorry, Master Dao. We only have technique scrolls up to level 7," the woman replied.
"Just do it!"
The woman rushed to collect all the 6th to 7th level technique scrolls the auction house had. Li Shen smiled as he looked at the empty shelves without a single technique scroll left.
"The total is 235 items with the items from earlier," the woman replied.
"The total price is 4530 spirit stones," the woman continued.
"Keep the change," Li Shen explained, taking everything and putting it into his magic pouch.
Just as Li Shen was about to leave the place, a man appeared at the door of the room and looked at him with a big smile.
"It seems that the Wei Family has an honored guest," he explained.
"I didn't expect it to be so much more interesting here than at the auction," he said, stepping closer to Li Shen.
"Who are you?" asked Li Shen, watching as the female staffer bowed her head.
"I'm Wei Dun, Young Master of the Wei Family," Wei Dun replied.
'Just a Golden Core boy,' Li Shen explained.
"If there's nothing to talk about, I'll leave," Li Shen explained.
Just as Li Shen stepped past him, Wei Dun boldly grabbed Li Shen's shoulders which made him stop walking.
"Celestial-level Spirit Stone is a rare item in the entire kingdom," he said.
"Tell me, where did you get it?" asked Wei Dun, tightening his hand on Li Shen's shoulder.
"I can't tell you."
"Maybe my father and the rest of the Wei Family elders will make you talk," Wei Dun explained.
Li Shen looked ahead, the patriarch of the Wei family was coming with two Wei elders.
Through Li Shen's eyes, the patriarch of the Wei Family was already at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, while the two elders were still at the Nascent Soul early stage.
The man sighed. He stretched out his hand to bring up blue spiritual energy on it, then made a fist.
The Dao of Dreams had activated!
Instantly, the place turned desolate without anyone and anything. The condition of the place turned damaged and destroyed, as if it had been invaded by an enemy.
Wei Dun gasped, as did his father and the two Wei elders. They were trapped in Li Shen's Dao of Dreams.
"Dao conception?" asked the patriarch of the Wei family, shocked.
"You tried to hold me down, then make me talk!" insisted Li Shen, inducing gravitational pressure on all four of them.
They fell to their knees, vomiting blood due to the pressure. Li Shen walked forward, approaching the Wei patriarch.
"You are 10,000 years too early to force me to talk!"
