The city square of Yilan is filled with lilac decorations, forming an ocean of flowers, and the festive atmosphere is strong.

  The local tyrants and traveling merchants arrived one after another, and the inn was packed.

  Outside the city station, camels were unloading goods everywhere. The camel handlers cleaned their bodies and massaged their muscles as if they were serving their ancestors. They carefully picked the freshest plants to feed them.

  The auction has not yet been held, and the effect of boosting the economy is already beginning to emerge. The hustle and bustle of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are all sources of income.

  An airship decorated with a double axe emblem slowly docked at the anchorage.

  The hatch opened, and three men and women with fair skin and luxuriant hair walked out. They all had red hair, blue eyes, and facial features very similar to those of the white people from Blue Star.

  Looking at the bustling scene in front of her, a short-haired female transcender sneered: "Weak Westerners, this time they got a great bargain."

  They are representatives of the Northern Territory participating in the auction. For thousands of years, they have been defending against foreign invasions, which has created a unique custom and style for the people of the Northern Territory that is different from those in the mainland.

  Another tall and sturdy man picked up the conversation: "We should impose a tax on the Western Border people! We fight to the death in the north, while they enjoy themselves at the back, what a good thing!"

  "Golden Stage Divine Sword!? The lord of the Western Border should offer it up for free. The beastmen are obviously accumulating power to prepare for a large-scale invasion, who has the energy to hold an auction?"

  The leader of the Golden Stage, Chao Fan, couldn't deny his subordinates' words. He tied up his scattered long hair that was as sharp as thorns and gently rubbed the heads of his two subordinates, saying:

  "None of that matters, just try your best to bring this perfect Bloodline back to the North Territory, and at the very least, get the method for achieving a perfect Bloodline."

  ~~~~~

  The empire's main external enemies are all in the north, and 2,000 years ago, the divine kingdom of Ming Shen also fell in the north.

  The beastmen of the northwest and the great rift in the northeast attacked simultaneously, and the empire was almost destroyed.

  At a critical moment, Markov showed invincible power and struck the entire "Divine Country" in two with one blow.

  The beastmen and demons fled in disarray, the human strongmen pursued and won a complete victory, beheading countless numbers. This was the famous "Conquest of the Great Rift" campaign.

  Unfortunately, His Majesty disappeared later. After announcing the extraordinary path he studied personally, he never showed up again. The outside world speculated: He was seriously injured in the divine war and fell into a deep sleep; or his lifespan had reached its limit and he had passed away.

  Fortunately, demons also hide deep in the great rift and rarely appear, so the pressure on human defense lines is only left to the Beastman Empire.

  ~~~~~

  Li Rui and Mei Er dodged the crowded throngs, having just come out of the "Xing Ye" family, which was the last friendly family they needed to visit. At this point, their official mission could be said to have been successfully completed, and what remained was private time.

  On the way back, strange hands kept touching and feeling the sister's body. This time it was not opened.

  Li Rui smiled and said, "Aren't you angry anymore?"

  Mei gave him a cold glance, grasped her companion's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "The descendants of the extraordinary are difficult to come by. Every opportunity is precious and should not be wasted at will. Do you know how heartbroken I am?"

  Li Rui repeatedly apologized and promised to make up for it twice, but next time he still dared. Angry Meryl patted him a few times, as if massaging.

  After returning to the inn, the Green Gang people who had been strolling around the lower city for two days all presented the demon knowledge they had dug up, and even Ludo and Kali also activated their connections to purchase many.

  According to Li Rui's request, all of them are accompanied by the original devil text.

  Then discuss and decide on the matters to be dealt with upon return.

  To be honest, the people of Green Leaf City are not wealthy. For them, strolling through the shopping festival in Green Leaf City is already a luxury.

  The auction of Yirulan has nothing to do with the poor ghosts. Even in the lowest-level small venues, their prices can't buy anything good.

  But this time it's different. The destruction of the demonic thieves' gang, Li Rui didn't take a single coin; arrived early to receive Yiluolan's reward; plus double the knowledge of the demon.

  Everyone suddenly found out - they had a small family and could stroll around in primary social circles.

  So no one is in a hurry to leave, and they want to buy some items during the auction to increase their strength.

  ~~~~~

  While everyone in Green Ridge was thanking and flattering Li Rui, Xi Ya visited with the knowledge of "Devil".

  Li Rui didn't want to directly expose his secret in the lord's manor, so he didn't flip through it on the spot.

  I didn't expect Xi Ya to personally escort the book to my doorstep. It seems that the Lei Feng Huo family hasn't given up yet.

  As they watched the two return to their room together, everyone's gaze towards Li Rui became increasingly respectful. But Luo Duo and Kali wore worried expressions, while Mi Xue'en clenched her fists tightly, lowering her head in silence.

  In the room, Saya put her finger in her mouth and bit it, squeezing out a drop of fresh blood that fell onto the large book.

  The creaking sound of the old leather binding opening up, and the book that was originally like a big iron block can be turned over.

  This time Xi Ya was dressed very elegantly. Under the close-fitting metal armor with hollowed-out designs, her snow-white skin was faintly visible, and her golden long hair shone softly.

  The golden pupils stared at Li Rui with a smile in his eyes, without any "flirting", simply chatting, talking about some insights and difficulties in their cultivation, as well as the good things that might appear at the auction.

  She also received a complete aristocratic education, with a broader vision and thinking, and can keep up with Li Rui.

  The two chatted for a while, and Shia enthusiastically helped Li Rui copy the contents of the book.

  "At that time, humans were still in the city-state era, and papermaking had not been invented. So the books that were passed down were all sorts of strange things, made from whatever materials they could find. A book this big is too much trouble to flip through."

  Li Rui nodded in agreement: "Preserving until now is more like a tool, rather than a knowledge carrier."

  The girl was busy back and forth in a good mood, after finishing writing she didn't stay long and politely bid farewell.

  Li Rui personally escorted her out of the gate, and Xi Ya showed a sweet smile as she bid farewell.

  Letting go of the "greed" in her heart, Xi Ya revealed her true nature and unexpectedly gained Li Rui's favor. She was just a young, lively, and well-off little girl after all.

  The girl didn't have any romantic feelings towards Li Rui, but the people around her kept telling her that he was the best bloodline in the Western Territory and the best partner to choose from, so she had a mindset of "conquering the opposite sex and showing off her excellence" and interacted with him stiffly. In fact, she didn't understand anything about relationships between men and women.

  Both parents are golden, and she herself is extremely talented. From a young age to adulthood, she has been pursued by many suitors, but it's all so tiresome. Unexpectedly, she suddenly met someone who cold-shouldered her, which piqued her interest instead.

  After getting in touch, Li Rui is even more infatuated, especially with a sense of style, knowing how to care for people, and being humorous and witty with great insight (having spent a lot of time online makes him eloquent), having good bloodlines and natural talent, and also having money, making him much better than the big pig's hoof in the divine land.

  Mieshaen was secretly observing from the side, and upon seeing this scene, her face looked extremely unpleasant.

  ~~~~~

  Li Rui flipped through all the books around him, and this time the system was full, taking a while to give out the prompt.

  "Testing knowledge of Dōgen Star, database update. Bio-Organic Weapon - Colonized Interstellar Warrior (70%)"

  "It's really not easy, why can't we just reap the benefits while lying down?"

  Li Rui sighed as he gazed at a small hill-like pile of garbage beside him.

  At the same time, "Ethereal Stomach" has made progress of nearly 70%, and although "Essence of Life" has been holding back from eating too much, it is still very helpful to store it in the stomach. One cannot be impatient, as this path abhors haste the most.
