Chapter 428: One Month of Seclusion
No one offered more than thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones. Everyone saw the pattern—no matter the bid, Ye Yun would always top it.
This disciple from some hidden ancestral family clearly lacked worldly experience and ignored all norms. Any ordinary cultivator acting so recklessly would’ve been swallowed whole within days.
Yet few at the auction dared scheme against Ye Yun. Who knew what guardian his family had assigned him? Given his brazen attitude, his protector had to be at least a late-stage Golden Core expert, possibly even peak Golden Core.
While peak Golden Core cultivators weren’t invincible—major sects still had Nascent Soul Ancestors—none would lower themselves to intervene over mere tens of thousands of spirit stones. Impossible!
Thus, only a handful still eyed Ye Yun. Leng Yifeng and Jue Chen were definitely among them.
"Any higher bids?" Yue Yunfan pressed, feigning distress. "This Moon Goddess Palace soul-nurturing technique is priceless! Thirty thousand is a steal!"
But none bit the bait. Thirty thousand was already steep for a technique limited to pre-Nascent Soul cultivators.
Leng Yifeng and Jue Chen smirked inwardly. Let the brat hide in the capital—they’d make him weep for his arrogance soon enough.
When no further bids came, Yue Yunfan sighed theatrically before beaming. "Sold to Young Master Ye! With the Ta Qing Nurturing Spirit Technique, your cultivation will soar! Reaching Golden Core might take mere months!"
The crowd stifled laughs. Ye Yun was barely at Foundation Establishment’s first level. His mediocre talent and apparent laziness suggested a decade-long grind to Golden Core at best. Yue Yunfan’s flattery was pure comedy.
Shan Yu Chun collected the payment. Ye Yun flipped through the technique booklet dismissively before tossing it into his Thunder Sound Metamorphosis ring like trash.
"With the final item sold, this auction concludes!" Yue Yunfan announced cheerfully. "May your new treasures serve you well!"
The Alchemy Cauldron Sect profited handsomely—except for that dubious Heavenly Phoenix feather. Not that they cared; their real wealth came from higher-tier transactions. But Ye Yun cared deeply.
He’d acquired everything he needed: Solar Flame Herbs for body refinement, Thunder Spirit crystals to boost his Lightning Element Law comprehension, and half a page of the Thundercloud Lightning Sword’s fourth form. Though incomplete, mastering even part of it would elevate his combat power.
The Kunpeng feather mentioned by the Sword Path Ancestor might prove useful later—a steal at one hundred spirit stones. The Dragon Blood Spirit Stone could enhance his physique if he extracted its draconic essence. Most crucially, the Ta Qing Nurturing Spirit Technique addressed his stagnant soul cultivation, complementing his physical training for breakthroughs.
Instead of leaving, Ye Yun summoned Shan Yu Chun. "Where can I cultivate undisturbed here?"
The elder scurried over, dignity forgotten. "Our sect has cultivation chambers! Spiritual energy concentrations range from double to tenfold the outside norm. The premium rooms use a Nascent Soul Ancestor’s Spirit Gathering Array—ten times denser, but pricey."
"Cost?" Ye Yun cut in.
"One thousand top-grade stones daily for the last premium chamber. How long?"
"A month." Ye Yun smirked. Let his enemies wait.
Shan Yu Chun’s eyes bulged. "T-twenty-seven thousand with discount!"
A storage pouch hit his chest. "Three days. Prepare it."
The elder clutched his windfall, grinning like a street vendor.
