He was met with a blunt refusal to answer his questions, but the young man from the Blood Intent Sect suppressed his anger and instead turned to face the stone platform, cupping his hands in respect as he said, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, if this person is merely taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble and can't even produce the 800,000 spirit stones, then what's the point?"

  "This fellow, rest assured that if it's like this, the Thunder Phoenix Egg will naturally be transferred to your esteemed sect at a price of 7 million! At the same time, our alliance will also put this person on the blacklist, forever prohibiting him from setting foot in the outer starry sky!" The young man's last half-sentence was directed at the Long-necked Cultivator, with the threatening tone fully revealed!

  "Eight hundred thousand spirit stones! Is there no one else willing to offer a higher price?" Yuan Ziyun looked around, but no one responded.

  "Congratulations to this Daoist 314, please come forward and hand over the Ling Stone yourself, and take good care of this Lei Feng egg." Yuan Ziyun squeezed out a faint smile and said to the long-necked cultivator.

  "Thank you!" The long-necked monk walked up to the stone platform with big strides, took out a storage bag, and was about to lightly toss it towards the young man. Suddenly, he stopped his movement, raised his voice and said: "This beast egg seems to have some problem, could it be that it has already recognized its master?"

  "Friends of the Tao laughed, and the beast egg that had already been recognized, how dare you take it out for auction! Friends can use their divine consciousness to carefully check, the beast egg does not contain any cultivator's blood, obviously no one has shed blood to recognize its master!" Yuan Ziyun's words were tinged with a hint of displeasure, and his tone was also extremely cold.

  "It's better that you don't have it, haha! This is a Spirit Stone, take it!" The long-necked cultivator said as he tossed the storage bag in his hand towards the youth.

  Yuan Zixiao suddenly shouted: "Halt!" as she was about to grab the storage bag.

  The long-necked monk in front of him suddenly burst out with an extremely strong spiritual wave in an instant, instantly forcing the young man to retreat several feet away, and with a thunderous momentum, he took the Lei Feng beast egg into his arms and disappeared. Then, with just a slight flicker of his body, he was already at the exit of the main hall.

  At the exit of the grand hall, two cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building were guarding the place. They only had time to subconsciously cast a layer of protective light shield, but it was easily pierced by this person's extremely fast and gentle pat. The two cultivators immediately fell to the ground, unconscious.

  At this time, the young man with the surname Yuan also made his move at the first opportunity, rubbing his hands together and sending a silver electric snake as thick as a bowl towards the person.

  This subconscious attack had just been launched when the young man regretted it!

  At this time, the long-necked cultivator was still in the middle of the Condensing Dan stage! The spiritual energy emanating from his body was unfathomably deep, and although it was impossible to determine his exact cultivation level, he was undoubtedly a cultivator above the Yuan Ying stage!

  Including Zhao Di and other cultivators, they also noticed this change, and after the shock, they added a bit of fear!

  Zhao Di's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and he finally understood why he had always felt that this person had a strange and eerie feeling. Apart from the fact that this person deliberately concealed his cultivation, he also clearly sensed a faint aura of evil spirit emanating from him!

  Although this person disguised himself very well, with almost no evil spirit leaking out, Zhao had killed thousands of monsters and had an instinctive sense of the breath of the monster, so he could vaguely feel that little bit.

  That long-necked cultivator simply raised his right hand, and a white electric arc of the same thickness jumped out of his hand, meeting the silver electric snake. The two met and immediately exploded with a thunderous sound, annihilating each other. The young man's attack was easily dissolved by him. Moreover, this person obviously had reservations and did not want to hurt anyone!

  "What kind of person are you, daring to openly defy the rules and come to a foreign star with your infantile cultivation! Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by our alliance?" Wu Chen Lao Dao said boldly. Although the opponent's cultivation was extremely high, this was the headquarters of the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance, where there were at least a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and they would not be intimidated by the opponent even if they joined forces!

  "Good question! You human monks dare to steal my child while I, the protector, am undergoing tribulation?! What crime should you be punished for?!" As the long-necked monk spoke, his body underwent a drastic transformation. His height increased by several meters, his mouth and nose changed into a long beak, and he pushed back the mask on his head. In an instant, his hands transformed into two huge white wings with golden edges. Suddenly, a giant bird-like demon appeared before them, its feathers snow-white and its body several meters in size. Thousands of fine electric arcs danced across its body, forming a layer of jumping sparks that accompanied a low rumble of thunder. This made it impossible for Zhao Di to see the demon's true form, but he could feel its aura was truly astonishing.

  "Transform into a demonic beast, Lei Feng!" Zhao Di immediately recognized this demon! There were also many cultivators who recognized it.

  "Lei Feng! As a shape-shifting demon beast, why did you defy the agreement set between humans and demons for tens of thousands of years? Not only did you intrude into the outer star, but also took action to harm people on the human island. Aren't you afraid of the revenge of our human cultivators?" The young man with the surname Yuan stopped attacking and shouted loudly instead.

  "Hey, since I've done it and have nothing to fear, if you want revenge, come at me anytime!" Lei Feng shouted in a sharp voice. Suddenly, she spread her wings and released a massive spiritual energy that pressed down on the nearby cultivators, forcing them to retreat several steps back. Then, she transformed into a white lightning bolt and flew into the sky, flashing a few times before disappearing into the distance without a trace.

  The so-called shape-shifting demon beast refers to a demon beast that has cultivated to the eighth level or above, equivalent to a human cultivator at the Yuan Ying stage or above. Once a demon beast reaches the eighth level, it can open up its spiritual intelligence and transform into a human-like form, becoming an existence that can think and use magical tools like a human cultivator. With its powerful physical body and unique divine abilities, its strength is often much higher than that of a human cultivator of the same rank!

  Of course, the process of opening up spiritual intelligence for a demon beast is indeed too against heaven's will, so it will naturally trigger heavenly thunder tribulations, also known as transformation thunder tribulations. Similar to how human cultivators need to undergo various trials and hardships when advancing in rank, demon beasts from seventh level to eighth level demon beasts all without exception need to experience this transformation thunder tribulation, suffering the torment of heavenly thunderbolts. More than half of the demon beasts are annihilated by this powerful thunder tribulation, while only a few lucky ones can barely survive the thunder tribulation and advance in rank to become an eighth-level demon beast, from then on opening up their spiritual intelligence, transforming into human form, starting to learn how to think, rather than just relying on animal instincts like seventh level or lower demon beasts, with extremely low spiritual intelligence!

  The Thunder Phoenix Beast just now is a shape-shifting beast above the 8th level, and judging from its unfathomable strength, it's even possible that it's a 9th-level beast! That's why although there are many human cultivators here, no one dares to step forward and stop this beast from leaving with the treasure. After all, the difference in strength between the Core Formation stage and the Nascent Soul stage is enormous, and even if they outnumbered it, a single misstep would result in them losing their lives under its claws.

  On the dust-free ancient road, he checked the two mid-term foundation-building cultivators of the Foreign Sea Merchant Alliance who were knocked down by Lei Feng. Then he turned his head and said to the young man with the surname Yuan: "There's no big deal, they should wake up after sleeping for a few days! This Lei Feng is still cautious and doesn't dare to kill anyone on this island!" After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and ordered several foundation-building cultivators to carry them away and place them in a suitable location.

  A young man with the surname Yuan walked up to the stone platform and said loudly, "Fellow Taoist friends, we will report this matter to the Council of Elders of the Outer Sea Merchant Alliance, and they will make arrangements. We will not let off lightly this shape-shifting demon beast that has come to provoke us in the outer star!"

  The young man said a beautiful phrase after which the topic turned back to the auction: "This fellow Daoist of the Blood Intent Gate, logically speaking, you should have been able to obtain this treasure, but due to this sudden change in circumstances, our alliance is unable to fulfill its promise. I represent our alliance in apologizing to your esteemed gate! How about this: in the next round of bidding, our alliance will add an additional 50,000 spirit stones as a small compensation from our alliance? Will that be satisfactory to you?"

  Things have come to this, and the young man of Xueyimen naturally cannot ask for anything. He bowed his fist and said: "Thank you, Brother Yuan! I am extremely satisfied with your alliance's arrangements and have no objections whatsoever!"

  "Great!" The young man laughed and said, "Next, I will continue to host this auction conference. This second treasure is a very powerful top-grade cultivation technique. As for the name of the technique, I'll keep it a secret for now. Let me ask you, fellow Taoist friends, have you ever heard of the Thousand Absolute Fairy, the female cultivator Xuan Lü?"

  "Reputed as the number one female cultivator of Xingchen Sea, Qianjue Fairy?"

  "Xuanyuan Fairy? Isn't that the great cultivator who broke through to the Realm of Nirvana over ten thousand years ago? I wonder if this girl succeeded!"

  "It is recorded in the classics that this woman was already unmatched in the Star Ocean during her later years, and later even closed the Gate of Life and Death. However, there are no more records of her after that!"

  "Yes, the ancient books recorded that this Xuanxu fairy is unparalleled in terms of figure, appearance, talent, intelligence, courage and cultivation, so she has the reputation of being the number one fairy of all time!"

  The entire hall was suddenly in an uproar, and the name of this Thousand Year Old Sage Daughter was extremely loud among the ancient cultivators! Zhao Di had also seen records of this woman in many classics, often depicting her as extremely mysterious, but various exaggerated praises were lavished on her without restraint.

  Could it be that the kung fu to be auctioned off was passed down by this person? If it's a technique for women, then it would have no meaning for him! Zhao Di thought with some disappointment.

  "Yuan Dao You, could it be that the treasure your alliance is auctioning off is actually the main cultivation method of Qian Jue Xian Zi?" A female cultivator dressed in white couldn't wait to ask.

  Yuan Zixiao waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and smiled slightly as he said: "Not bad, the intelligence of Qianjue Xianzi is renowned throughout the ages in the Starry Sea, and no one can match it. What's being auctioned now is precisely this great person's self-created main cultivation method, 'Lingbing Jue'! Since it's Qianjue Xianzi's complete main cultivation method, its power doesn't need further explanation from me! However, I have something to clarify: this cultivation method has extremely high requirements and can only be practiced by a female cultivator who is a virgin and an Ice-attributed surname Otherworldly Spirit Root cultivator!"
