Chapter Seventy-Four Accompanying to the End
In the Lingbao Hall, Ji Changkong turned around in disappointment and found that the bracelet he had been eyeing earlier had already been bought by someone else, and even the counter had been removed early.
He wandered around until nightfall, but he didn't find any spiritual treasures suitable for Ji Yuanyun. Before nightfall, he reluctantly returned to the resting house behind the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion with Bai Qingya.
Originally, they only planned to stay for one night, but the Lingbao Pavilion, whether it was because of White Qingya's father's face or not, insisted on letting them stay until the end of the Lingbao Conference.
With a precious treasure in hand, he used the four items on the Thousand-Year Purple Golden Toad's body to exchange for 6,500 high-quality yuan stones. Adding that his yuan energy had not fully recovered yet, Bai Qingya feared that someone else might have ulterior motives and decided to continue staying at the Lingbao Pavilion to rest.
That night, Ji Changkong continued to recover his vitality in the state of nothingness, while Bai Qingya remained silently guarding him by his side.
……
Ouch!
A strange cry suddenly came from outside the wing room, as if it came from the direction of the Lingbao Grand Hall.
A strange noise suddenly arose, and a fierce fighting sound also rang out, extremely loud.
Creak! Creak!
The surrounding houses opened one after another, and the heavenly masters from all over the world came out of the houses to see what was going on outside.
Suddenly awakened from a state of nothingness, she stood up abruptly, and her bright eyes sparkled in the darkness as she asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Bai Qingya, who had already arrived at the entrance, frowned and shook her head gently, saying in a low voice: "I don't know yet, the sound of fighting seems to be coming from the Lingbao Hall. Who is so bold? How dare they cause trouble in the Lingbao Pavilion at this hour?"
"Let's go take a look!" Walking to Bai Qingya's side, Ji Changkong pushed the door and went out with her.
"Huh, little brother, you're also living here?" Zhou Miao Xiang, accompanied by two members of the Ye family, was standing outside the wing room and caught sight of Ji Chang Kong and Bai Qing Ya, smiling as she greeted them.
"Hello, Aunt Zhou."
Smiling and nodding, Ji Changkong walked to the front of Zhou Miaojuan and the other two, looked up in the direction of the Lingbao Hall, and casually asked: "It's late at night, how can there be people fighting on the side of the Lingbao Hall? Sister Zhou, you came out early, do you know what happened?"
Li Daoxuan, Du Shaofeng, Qiu Yongguang and others who were seen in the Lingbao Hall today are also nearby, each with furrowed brows, seemingly puzzled as to who would be so bold.
"I'm not sure, Lingbao Pavilion should be able to handle it properly... The Chen family is powerful, and the Water Cloud Country has also sent a high-ranking expert from the Imperial City to station in the pavilion. There shouldn't be many people who dare to come to Lingbao Pavilion at this time." Zhou Miaoxiang was very gentle, with a white silk ribbon still wrapped around her neck. She must have used the Thousand-Year Purple Golden Toad's saliva last night to eliminate the scar on her neck.
Just then, the sound of fighting suddenly stopped, and a black shadow flew out from the Lingbao Hall, flashing across the night sky.
……
After a while, several Chen family guards rushed over. The leader was the old man who had arranged for Bai Qingya and Ji Changkong to stay. He arrived and shouted loudly: "Nothing's wrong, everyone can go back and rest. Tomorrow, the Lingbao Temple's treasure exhibition will continue as usual. Don't worry about anything."
Many people had some doubts, but most of them didn't speak up. This is the Lingbao Pavilion, it's the Chen family! As a guest, just follow the host's arrangements and don't interfere with trivial matters that are none of your business.
"Who is so bold as to cause trouble at Lingbao Pavilion at this hour?"
Suddenly, Du Shaofeng let out a cold snort and shouted loudly: "Just now I clearly saw someone escaping from the Lingbao Hall. Can't the Chen family even keep one person? If you can't stop them, you can ask us for help. Since we are living in the Chen family, we should do our part to help."
Although Du Shaofeng's words had a tone of offering help, the tone of questioning Chen's family being incompetent was even heavier. Saying such things in front of everyone was quite inappropriate.
"Master Du is too polite, the matter of Lingbao Pavilion will be handled by the Chen family itself, no need for Master Du to worry!" The old man from the Chen family also didn't mince words and responded with a deep voice. Then, with a smile, he looked at the other onlookers and said: "Everyone can rest assured, the Chen family has been hosting the Lingbao Conference for many years, and there has never been any mishap. This time will be no exception!"
"We naturally trust the Chen family, otherwise we wouldn't have come all the way here." Zhou Miao Xiang smiled slightly and turned to the two Ye family members beside her: "Let's go back, the Chen family will handle things properly."
Zhou Miao Xiang said that, many of the heavenly masters who had come nodded one after another and returned to the rear wing room. Du Shao Feng felt bored, coldly snorted, didn't say much, and also led his men to retreat.
……
Nothing happened all night.
The second day of the Spiritual Treasure Conference proceeded as usual, with even more spiritual treasures pouring into the Spiritual Treasure Hall. Many heavenly scholars from all over the world brought out their collections of many years to exchange for the spiritual treasures they needed, shouting loudly in the hall either to exchange for yuan stones or to specify the exchange for a certain special spiritual treasure.
Today, there are even more formidable figures than yesterday. Ji Changkong and Bai Qingya have both become cautious in their movements, as they might accidentally bump into some world-renowned powerful cultivator if they're not careful.
The things of last night, no one mentions again, as if nothing had happened last night.
After wandering around, Ji Changkong sighed: "The Spiritual Treasure Conference is indeed famous for its name. The spiritual treasures that appeared today, I had never even heard of them before! Like the Moon Heart Stone and the Sun Heart Stone, only those Eight Trigrams Heavenly Masters who can divine travel to the sun and moon, consuming a huge amount of power, can obtain them from the heart of the moon and the heart of the sun. With their divine soul, they bring the Moon Heart Stone and the Sun Heart Stone back across the vast starry sky, I don't know how much energy it takes!"
"The moon's light is like water, the sun's light is like flames. Cultivators of the Water and Fire elements of the Five Elements must be able to refine the power contained within the Moon Heart Stone and Sun Heart Stone. Not only will their strength increase exponentially, but they will also gain a hint of the majestic power of the sun and moon, making this a truly captivating spiritual treasure!"
Bai Qingya's face was filled with envy, she had been cultivating the Five Elements of Water, and the Moon Heart Stone had an extremely great attraction to her. Unfortunately, the Seven Star Heavenly Master who sold the Moon Heart Stone and Sun Heart Stone explicitly stated that he would only exchange it for the East Sea's Ten Thousand Year Heaven Wood, not even wanting a single Yuan Stone, giving Bai Qingya no chance at all.
"The soul-devouring demon's brain marrow is even more precious, it can actually be used to form a second divine soul. For a Tian Shi, having an extra divine soul means having an extra life! Unfortunately, that person would only exchange for the Ice Jade Divine Crystal and wouldn't trade no matter how many Yuan Stones were offered. It seems that good things indeed cannot be measured by Yuan Stones!" Ji Changkong sighed.
"There's also the 'Free and Easy Wandering' secret technique, a world-renowned speed technique that can be cultivated in the Seven Stars Heaven or Eight Trigrams Heaven. Once mastered, its speed surpasses even lightning, truly enviable! Unfortunately, he only exchanged it for the three eyes of the Three-eyed Dragon Python. The Three-eyed Dragon Python is said to exist in the Cloud Dream Marsh, but its three eyes aren't something that just anyone can dig up." Bai Qingya shook her head and sighed lightly.
The truly precious treasures of the world, those who sell them often urgently need another treasure, several people's coveted treasures, none of which can be exchanged for yuan stones, all of which are marked as only exchangeable for certain treasures of equal value.
After wandering around for most of the day, Ji Changkong and Bai Qingya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the powerful spiritual treasures that had appeared today. Bai Qingya was especially fond of the Moon Heart Stone, but unfortunately, she didn't have the East Sea's Ten Thousand Year Sky Wood in her possession, so all she could do was sigh in admiration, unable to come up with a plan.
"Long live the princess!"
A low cry suddenly came from beside him.
"Dove in the Snow!"
She raised an eyebrow and gazed at Ji Lingxue who appeared in the crowd with a cold expression, saying: "I didn't expect you to come to the Spiritual Treasure Conference too!"
Next to Jiuling Xue, there was an old woman who looked like a housekeeper. She had a rich and elegant demeanor, with a warm smile on her face, but she possessed the cultivation of the Seven Stars Realm! The old woman was clearly not a member of the Jiuling family, yet she stood respectfully beside Jiuling Xue, carefully attending to him.
A long white dress, in the crowd, like a snow lotus flower emitting cold air, cold and proud!
"I want to fight you again!" Ji Lingxue took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
Jiuling Xue was originally at the Three Talents Heaven's peak realm. Several months without seeing him, he had suddenly broken through to the Four Elephants Heaven's realm!
Her internal yuan force fluctuated extremely obviously, and with just a quiet heart and a sense of response, Ji Changkong immediately detected the change in Ju Lingxue.
"Four Symbols of Heaven!" A low shout, Ji Changkong's face was filled with surprise, saying: "I didn't expect that not only have your injuries healed, but you've also broken through again!"
"Thanks to you!" Jiuling Xue said coldly, leaning in close and whispering, "Dare or not?"
"Four Elemental Heaven's Chosen is fighting Three Talents Heaven's Chosen, you shameless girl!" Ji Changkong hadn't even spoken yet, when Bai Qingya frowned and scolded, "You want to fight? Let's fight! I'm Five Elements Heaven, dare you?"
Bai Qingya said, Ji Lingxue's face turned slightly red, she was too embarrassed to look at Bai Qingya, and could only gaze at Ji Changkong with a hint of resentment, saying: "Alright then, let's have another battle when you reach the Four Symbolic Heavens!"
"It's not necessary!" Ji Changkong let out a low shout, and said in a deep voice: "I'll be resting at the Lingbao Pavilion for the next few days. Once the Lingbao Conference is over, you can come find me then. At that time, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"
The grudge between the Ji and Jiu families was too deep. When Jiu Lingxue swept through three generations of the Ji family, she had never shown mercy. Ji Changkong had always had a bad impression of her, and this time she was being aggressive again. With anger in his heart, he directly agreed to it.
The chill in the icy cave had all converged into his pupils, and at this moment, Ji Changkong was able to control it as he pleased. Previously, because he was facing a Tian Shi enemy with a much higher realm than him, they were far from being on the same level. He didn't have the confidence to use his silver pupils to achieve a surprise victory, and he was also afraid that people would discover that his eyes would turn silver, treating him as an outcast, so he had been hesitant to use the power of his silver pupils.
However, Ji Lingxue was only one realm higher than him and should have just recently broken through. If he used the power of the Silver Pupil in battle, he had confidence that he could achieve a surprise victory and defeat Ji Lingxue who had just entered the Four Symbol Heavenly Realm!
"Alright! After the Lingbao Conference is over, I'll come find you!"
Jiuling Xue coldly smiled, seemingly unwilling to stay by his side for another moment. After saying this, she immediately left with the rich-looking old woman who resembled a housekeeper.
