Chapter 218 Safe Return

Treasures were auctioned off one after another like flowing water, and the items that Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu valued were taken out one by one by Qian Du Zhenren.

When auctioning the foundation-building spiritual objects, the situation was not much different from what Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu had guessed. There were indeed Jindan-level cultivators participating in the auction, but the number was not as many as Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu had imagined.

Therefore, they made some changes on the original basis, and changed the original plan to bid two foundation-building spiritual objects per person to three per person.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu did not act together. To outsiders, it seemed that two Jindan-level cultivators bid for three foundation-building spiritual objects respectively, but they did not attract the attention of other Jindan cultivators.

In addition to these foundation-building spiritual objects, the materials that Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu needed to refine magic weapons were all of the lower and middle third-level grades, which were relatively rare materials.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu encountered some Jindan cultivators competing for them during the auction, but those cultivators who participated in the auction were not as wealthy as Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu, and finally they successfully won all the materials.

The auction lasted for nearly a day before it ended. After paying the fees, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu quickly left the auction site with the treasures they had bid for at the auction.

After leaving the auction site, they entered the crowded crowd, then performed the small shape-changing technique, slowly changing their appearance, body shape and breath, and then wandered around the Poison Swamp Fairy City for half an hour before returning to their rented cave together.

"We have purchased all the materials we lack. When will we leave?" Shi Ningyu asked.

Their trip was relatively smooth, although they were attacked by the six bandits of the Miasma Bamboo Island when they entered the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

But the strength of the six bandits was not good. Not only did they not cause any harm to them, but they were killed by them.

This time, they were able to successfully purchase all the materials they needed in the Poison Swamp Fairy City, and they also had to thank the six bandits for providing them with a lot of wealth.

Otherwise, the cultivation resources they carried would not be enough to support them to purchase so many treasures.

Although the Poison Swamp Immortal City is extremely prosperous and has all kinds of treasures, the prices of items here are much higher than other places.

"It's getting late today, let's rest in the cave for another night and leave early tomorrow morning!" Lu Cheng'an said.

They have finished their work in the Poison Swamp Immortal City and have been out for a long time, so they need to hurry back.

After Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu discussed it, they entered the cave at the same time and sorted out their gains in the Poison Swamp Immortal City together.

One night passed in a flash. Early the next morning, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left the cave one after another and left the Poison Swamp Immortal City quickly.

After running for nearly a hundred miles, they joined together and rushed towards the direction of the Miasma Bamboo Island.

Lu Cheng'an and his companions have been in the Poison Swamp Immortal City for so long, and there are many cultivators who want to kill them and steal their treasures.

However, Lu Cheng'an and his companions are very vigilant, and the spiritual marks left by those cultivators on them are easily removed by them.

With the addition of the small magical power of the Small Shape-changing Technique, they easily resolved the pursuit of those cultivators.

This time, they left the Poison Swamp Immortal City without attracting the attention of the cultivators in the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

The distance between the Poison Swamp Immortal City and the Miasma Bamboo Island is about 3,000 miles, which is not a long distance for Lu Chengan and his companions. They returned to the Miasma Bamboo Island from the Poison Swamp Immortal City smoothly in a few hours.

"Que Yun, Turtle Old, during the time we were away, was the situation on the island okay?" Lu Chengan asked.

"Reporting to Mr. Lu, after you left, Que Yun and I have been guarding the island seriously. During this period, we did not encounter any attacks from other Jindan cultivators!" Turtle Old replied in a gentle voice.

Que Yun had a completely opposite reaction from Turtle Old. He looked rather indifferent and did not accept his new identity before Turtle Old.

"You two pack up, we will leave Miasma Bamboo Island later!"

Lu Chengan nodded slightly, and after saying something to the two demons Que Yun, his eyes fell on Pei Chuying and other female cultivators.

"I wonder what plans you fellow Taoists have?" Lu Chengan asked with a smile.

Pei Chuying and Xie Miaoyun are both Jindan cultivators, and there are also six female cultivators in the foundation-building stage. They were previously too harshly taken by the bandit cultivators such as Ding Heng, and their origins have been seriously damaged.

Not only will it be impossible for them to improve their cultivation in the future, but even their lifespan and strength will be seriously affected.

"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Taoists. I am ready to return to my family. Please promise me?" Xie Miaoyun said respectfully.

Xie Miaoyun was born in the Xie family, a Jindan immortal clan in Yaoxian Valley. When she was rescued by Lu Chengan and his men, she actually wanted to return to her family.

However, Lu Chengan and his men did not pay any attention to them at that time, and they did not know what Lu Chengan and his men were thinking.

Therefore, no matter how anxious Xie Miaoyun was in her heart, she did not dare to reveal her true thoughts at that time.

After all, Lu Chengan and his men were definitely not good people. They had two third-level monsters under their command, and they were able to kill all six Jindan bandit cultivators on the Miasma Bamboo Island.

It was not until Lu Chengan asked them about their next plans that Xie Miaoyun dared to speak out her inner thoughts.

"Then leave the island now!" Lu Chengan said.

"Thank you, fellow Taoists!" Xie Miaoyun bowed respectfully to Lu Chengan and the others, and without any delay, flew away from the Miasma Bamboo Island.

Pei Chuying was extremely surprised to see that Lu Chengan and the others really let Xie Miaoyun leave so easily.

However, after Xie Miaoyun left, she immediately said: "I am going to take these sisters to leave the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp and live in the Xuanjing Sect!"

Xie Miaoyun was born as a casual cultivator, and the six female foundation-building cultivators were also like her, all casual cultivators.

She had already agreed with the six female foundation-building cultivators that if Lu Chengan was willing to let them leave, they would live in the Xuanjing Sect.

Xuanjing Sect is a Yuanying sect, and its territory is much more stable than the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp.

With their strength, they can definitely live well in Xuanjing Sect.

"Since you have this plan, pack up and leave the island!" Lu Chengan said.

Pei Chuying and others were all casual cultivators who had been in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp before. Their cultivation could reach the late stage of Jindan and foundation building and perfection, so they must not be good people.

They had no hatred with Lu Chengan and the others, and the best thing to do was to let them leave on their own.

After Xie Miaoyun and other female cultivators expressed their gratitude to Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu, they left the Miasma Bamboo Island without delay.

"Ningyu, let's dismantle the two third-level spirit formations on the island and leave the island later!" Lu Chengan said.

They had already searched the Miasma Bamboo Island before. Now the most valuable things on the island are the third-level spirit formations such as the Thousand Miasma Illusion Spirit Formation and the Black Water Corruption Fairy Formation, as well as the four third-level spirit veins on the island.

The area of ​​Miasma Bamboo Island is not large, but there are as many as four third-level spirit veins.

Two of these four third-level spirit veins are natural third-level spirit veins, and the other two are cultivated by bandit cultivators such as Ding Heng.

There are also spirit gathering and spirit nurturing formations in these two cultivated third-level spirit veins, and their grades have also reached the third level.

These four third-level spirit veins are extremely valuable, but unfortunately Lu Chengan and his companions have no way to take these third-level spirit veins away. They can only take these third-level spirit formations.

After a moment, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu both started to dismantle those third-level spirit formations at the same time.

They were very fast, and in less than an hour, they dismantled all eight sets of third-level spirit formations on the island.

After losing the protection of the Thousand Miasma Illusion Spirit Formation and the Black Water Corruption Immortal Formation, even cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages could enter the island at will.

However, now the cultivators in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp are attracted by the large-scale auction held every six months in the Poison Swamp Immortal City, and the cultivators in the Foundation Building and Golden Core stages have basically entered the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu left the Poison Swamp Immortal City almost as soon as the auction ended. Now many cultivators living in the Poison Swamp Immortal City have not come out.

Therefore, after Lu Chengan and the others dismantled the spirit formation on the Poison Island, they did not attract the attention of other cultivators.

The Poison Bamboo Island is thousands of miles away from the edge of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp. If Que Yun uses his flying magic at full power, he will be able to gallop thousands of miles soon.

Moreover, Que Yun's current strength has improved!

This is due to the third-level inferior elixir that Lu Cheng'an gave to Que Yun to assist in cultivation, and a bandit cultivator in the early stage of the golden elixir that he swallowed.

Four of the six bandit cultivators in the golden elixir realm on the Miasma Bamboo Island were refined into small Yixing Dan by Shi Ningyu, and the remaining two were swallowed by the two monsters, Que Yun and Gui Lao.

The body of a golden elixir cultivator is the best nourishing thing for a third-level monster. After such a long time, Que Yun and Gui Lao have already refined the bodies of the golden elixir cultivators they swallowed.

Que Yun was already very close to breaking through the middle stage of the third stage. After refining the body of the golden elixir bandit cultivator, his cultivation level has improved significantly.

Que Yun has a feeling that even if he does not use any auxiliary cultivation treasures in the future, he only needs to practice step by step, and he will be able to break through to the middle stage of the third stage within two years.

Originally, Que Yun thought that he would be able to get rid of Lu Cheng'an's control after the breakthrough in cultivation, but after learning about Gui Lao's situation, he knew that his previous thoughts were a bit naive.

Old Turtle is much older than Que Yun, so his knowledge is naturally broader than Que Yun.

He didn't know what means Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu left in their souls, but he knew clearly that this means was related to the power of the soul.

Unless their soul power exceeded Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu, it would be impossible to get rid of the control of these two people.

The souls of their monsters are naturally weaker than those of human cultivators. The soul power of Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu is stronger than that of cultivators of the same realm. It is basically impossible for them to rely on their own strength to get rid of the control of Lu Cheng'an and the others.

However, Old Turtle is more open-minded than Que Yun. He has now accepted his new identity and even thinks that this new identity is better than before.

After all, he couldn't get the elixir to assist in cultivation easily before, and it was even more impossible for him to easily devour the human cultivators in the Golden Core Realm.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu didn't know what the two monsters Que Yun were thinking. When they left the Miasma Bamboo Island, they took Old Turtle back into the Sky Palace, and then let Que Yun take them away from the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp at a high speed.

Soon after, Que Yun led Lu Chengan and the others out of the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp and into the Xuan Jing Sect.

The situation in the Xuan Jing Sect was very different from that in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp. It was much safer here than in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, and there was no need to worry about being attacked at random.

However, this time Lu Chengan did not let Que Yun take them directly back to the territory of Huanggu Sect, but stayed in the fairy cities in Xuanjing Sect and Haoyang Sect.

The reason for this was that Lu Chengan and the others wanted to get rid of the useless magic tools and elixirs in their hands.

They originally wanted to deal with these things in Duzhao Immortal City, but because they were worried about causing trouble, they kept them until now.

If Lu Chengan and the others wanted to return to the Lu family and Danding Sect, they had to pass through the territories of Xuanjing Sect and Haoyang Sect, the two Yuanying Sects. During this period, they passed through many fairy cities.

Although they had a lot of magic tools and elixirs in their hands, they did not attract the attention of the cultivators in the city by using them separately in different fairy cities.

During this period, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu gained a lot of knowledge. If they were not worried about the situation of the Lu family and Danding Sect, they would definitely spend more time traveling.

Time passed slowly, and nearly three months passed in a flash.

At this time, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu successfully arrived at Danding Sect.

Lu Chengan was not in a hurry to return to the family, but entered Danding Sect with Shi Ningyu.

"Ningyu, it should have been many years since your grandfather's cultivation broke through to the perfect foundation building realm? Is he sure to break through to the golden elixir realm now?" Lu Chengan asked.

Shi Ningyu's grandfather is Shi Mingxin, the leader of Danding Sect. He broke through to the perfect foundation building realm when Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu had not yet broken through to the foundation building realm.

Although Lu Chengan came to Danding Sect many times, he had no contact with Shi Mingxin, and he was not clear about Shi Mingxin's current cultivation situation.

"My grandfather's cultivation has reached the peak of the perfect foundation building realm, but he is not sure to break through to the golden elixir realm, and now he lacks the elixir spirit objects to assist him in breaking through!" Shi Ningyu said.

She was quite surprised by her whereabouts and didn't understand why Lu Chengan asked this question.

She did have an idea about the elixir spirit objects that appeared at the auction of Duzhao Xiancheng, but at that time, the cultivators who competed for those elixir spirit objects were all in the late golden elixir and perfect realm.

Although she and Lu Chengan were strong, they were definitely no match for this kind of cultivator.

Moreover, her grandfather was not very confident of breaking through the Jindan realm, so his desire for Jindan spiritual objects was not that strong.

Therefore, after careful consideration, she gave up the bid for the Jindan spiritual object.
