Woo woo woo!


The endless yellow sand surged, engulfing everything.


Each grain of sand was as heavy as a mountain.


Countless sands swept over, enough to kill a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.


The three Foundation Establishment cultivator bandits had grim expressions, urging the Yellow Sand Array, seemingly seeing the scene of that Foundation Establishment cultivator being overwhelmed and killed.


But just at the moment of being engulfed, Lu Xuanji made his move.


The Li Fire Sword was in his hand, striking out with one sword.


One sword breaking ten thousand techniques!


The yellow sand clashed with the flames, the sand scattered to the ground, making pounding sounds.


Then, another sword strike lashed out, cutting at a node in the Yellow Sand Array, instantly producing a flaw with a pounding sound.


Swoosh!


Yet another sword slashed out, swift as a meteor, as quick as lightning.


It was like a flame burning in the void, like the annihilation of all things!


Thud!


A blood-colored mark appeared on the necks of the three cultivator bandits.


The heads of Liu Yang fell to the ground like balls.


"What a fast sword!"


The old bandit cultivator said, and after speaking, he lost consciousness and fell into eternal darkness.


One sword broke through the yellow sand.


One sword broke through the grand array.


One sword killed three cultivator bandits.


But Lu Xuanji slightly frowned, "Still a bit lacking, within the same realm only equivalent to the Third Layer combat power of Golden Ancestor. Is the Immortal Sword Body too strong, or am I too weak?"


He was quite dissatisfied with the three swords just now.


Lu Xuanji stepped forward, flicked his longsword, and the three storage bags fell into his hand.


He opened the storage bags to inspect the spoils.


"This is an Inner Sect Disciple Token from the Dan Yang Sect, didn’t expect these three were bandit cultivators too!" Seeing the three tokens, Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised.


But after shock, calmness took over.


These three cultivators were Inner Sect Disciples of the Dan Yang Sect, one was at the Seventh Layer Foundation Establishment, one at the Eighth Layer, and one at the Ninth Layer. Their combat power was decent, yet who would have expected they engaged in banditry while traveling outside.


Unfortunately, walking by the river often, there’s no way your shoes won’t get wet.


After roughly sorting through, he urged the Li Fire and merely after a few breaths, the three bodies turned to ash.


Along with the sound of the wind, they vanished into the world, destroying the evidence completely.


He then burned any storage bags, clothes, and anything with obvious signs, turning it all to ashes. Anything that couldn’t be burned was buried on the spot, then he disappeared.


...


After destroying the evidence and wiping away all traces, Lu Xuanji vanished.


He kept walking, traveling three thousand miles away, arriving at a small mortal town, where he settled down.


Only then did he open the storage bags to examine the booty.


Inside were numerous miscellaneous items, many of which were items sold at auctions with low prices, mostly useless things.


The three of them had robbed some people, but unfortunately, they encountered Lu Xuanji and ended up capsized.


"This is a Black Tortoise Egg... but it’s mixed blood!"


Lu Xuanji saw the Black Tortoise Egg, about the size of a fist, with exquisite patterns on it. With a tap of his hand, it felt as if it was fossilized inside, incredibly solid. It didn’t feel like a living egg, but rather like a stone.


"Destiny Calculation!"


Lu Xuanji activated the phone, starting the calculation.


[In Destiny Calculation, this is a Black Tortoise Egg]


[In terms of grade, it’s True Blood Black Tortoise]


[The vitality within the Black Tortoise Egg has dissipated, and it can no longer hatch]


"As expected, it’s a trap. However, it’s actually a True Blood Black Tortoise!"


Lu Xuanji was slightly surprised.


The products that appeared at auctions were mostly low-priced items, unwanted items, and uncertain items.


As for high-value items, they never make it to auctions.


They were intercepted in advance by some people.


Of course, there’s also a lack of skilled appraisers leading to occasional oversight.


The Black Tortoise Egg made it to the auction because the appraiser identified it as a dead egg, unable to hatch.


Sadly, that appraiser was also half-baked, only knew part of it and not the whole.


Detected the dead egg, but failed to detect it being a pure-blooded Black Tortoise.


The Demon Race values bloodline heavily, bloodline is king.


The higher the bloodline level, the greater the potential, the greater the future achievements.


Bloodline determines the upper limit of a demon race.


For instance, a mixed-blood demon beast mostly reaches Foundation Establishment, occasionally stepping into Purple Mansion, but it’s impossible to attain a Golden Core.


To become a Demon King, one must at least be a pure-blooded demon beast.


A pure-blooded demon beast is guaranteed to reach Golden Core, and with some effort, a Nascent Soul is highly attainable.


"A pure-blooded Black Tortoise Egg, if meticulously nurtured, would be a Golden Core Demon King. Yet many cultivators themselves lack money, where would they have extra funds to cultivate a Golden Core Demon King. Moreover, as the demon beast’s strength continuously grows stronger, the awakening of bloodline memory also poses severe backlash to human cultivators!"


"These factors all affect the price of a pure-blooded Black Tortoise Egg, but even so, it could still sell for half a million spirit stones at some large auctions!"


"Considering that this is a dead egg unable to hatch, the price would be fifty thousand spirit stones!"


"At the Wanbao Building auction, the Black Tortoise Egg had a starting bid of one thousand spirit stones, eventually selling at one thousand three hundred spirit stones to a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator. If Wanbao Building knew some insider information, they’d cry their eyes out!"


Lu Xuanji counted and placed it back into the storage bag.


He continued checking other items, discovering one Foundation Establishment Pill; also a Second Grade Array Plate, and some other miscellaneous things, all of which held little value.


Finally, a scroll of a book fell into his hand.


[Yin Yang Dragon and Phoenix Technique], a Replenishing Technique.


It contained various Chun Palace Maps, vividly illustrated, appearing obscene and debauched.


But through replenishing female cultivators, one could enhance one’s life origin.


A Five Spirit Root Cultivator replenishing five female cultivators of the same realm could be converted into Four Spirit Roots;


A Four Spirit Root Cultivator replenishing ten female cultivators of the same realm could be converted into Three Spirit Roots;


Three Spirit Roots require replenishing a female cultivator of a higher realm, which could be converted into Dual Spirit Roots;


Dual Spirit Roots require replenishing a female cultivator two realms higher to convert into Celestial Spirit Root.


This technique, through replenishing arts, enhances one’s life origin and aptitude, one is the quantity-driven approach of replenishing a large number of female cultivators; another is the quality-driven approach of replenishing higher realm female cultivators to enhance life origin.


Female cultivators that are replenished mostly suffer from damaged foundations, degraded cultivation, the path of Dao destroyed, and even death.


Below, there are also two treasures to restrain female cultivators: one named Beauties Map can imprison captured female cultivators within, using the Pure Yin Body inside to help them restore and even enhance their cultivation; another called Chaotic Yin Ring, can emit Chaotic Yin Light, striking on a female cultivator leading them to fall a great realm, leaving them at the mercy of others.


But the latter part was torn off, without describing the refining method of the two treasures.


From the torn marks on the page, one could tell it was a matter of a long time ago.


"This technique is too evil, best to destroy it!"


Lu Xuanji frowned, a trace of anger flickered in his eyes, urging the Li Fire to burn the book to ash.


Woo woo!


The book pages seemed to be made of special materials, and couldn’t be destroyed instantly.


He continued to increase the flame, and after ten breaths, the book turned to ashes.


At that moment, the ashes on the ground regrouped, forming a golden scroll with words resembling flying fish and dragon patterns, articulating the mysteries of the Great Dao.
