Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality

A sighing sound came from the audience. Although the transformation technique was difficult to practice, it was quite common and had no value for auction.

Only a few people, like Lu Yang and Chi Xulun, did not sigh.

The auctioneer continued, “This book is not an ordinary transformation technique. During the transformation process, it can also be used to attack. If used in combat, I believe it could have an unexpected effect.”

People then showed some interest, but not much, as who uses a transformation technique in combat?

The auctioneer reminded, “It should be noted that this spell is extremely difficult to practice. Master Yang Xuanlun has said that although this book seems ordinary, it is far from simple as it appears on the surface!”

Lu Yang continued in a voice just loud enough for Chi Xulun to hear, “Indeed, this book is too similar to the one described in the legends.”

Meng Jingzhou, sitting beside him, quickly and quietly said, “Shut up, can you even say such things out loud? When will you get rid of this habit of talking to yourself!”

Startled, Lu Yang immediately closed his mouth and fixed his gaze on the transformation technique on the stage.

Chi Xulun, observing Lu Yang’s reaction from the corner of his eye, confirmed his suspicions to some extent.

This price was far lower than the normal rate for a transformation technique, it seemed even the Land of Gold Commerce was unsure about the pricing for the Shape-Imitating Fist.

“One hundred and ten!” Someone quickly made a bid, considering the small amount of spirit stones worth it for something unique.

“One hundred and twenty!” Chi Xulun casually called out, as if just throwing out a bid.

“One hundred and forty!”

“One hundred and eighty!”

“Two hundred!”

The price for the Shape-Imitating Fist skyrocketed.

“Eight hundred!” Lu Yang called out.

Meng Jingzhou quickly held Lu Yang’s hand, “Why are you bidding so high, do you want everyone to notice?”

“I, I just didn’t want it to be bought by someone else.”

Eight hundred spirit stones wasn’t a lot, but that was for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Qi Cultivation cultivators couldn’t just pull out eight hundred spirit stones easily.

“One thousand!”

A voice rose from beside Lu Yang. Surprised, Lu Yang looked at Chi Xulun, not understanding why the other would compete with him for this transformation technique.

It was just a seemingly unique spell!

Could the other party also have noticed something?

But how could he have noticed?

Lu Yang cursed internally, had his muttering been overheard?

He whispered to Chi Xulun, “Fellow Daoist, this spell seems to be a long-lost spell of our family. Could you let me have it? I will surely repay you generously after the auction ends!”

Chi Xulun sneered, a long-lost spell, who would believe that? There must be ancient secrets hidden within this spell!

Shen Jinyi, sitting next to him, wanted to persuade him but seeing Chi Xulun’s determined attitude, he said nothing further.

Seeing that nice words were ineffective, Lu Yang bid, “One thousand two hundred lower-grade spirit stones!”

“Two thousand.” Chi Xulun didn’t even lift an eyelid, guessing Lu Yang definitely wasn’t at the Foundation Establishment stage given his timid bidding.

Lu Yang put up all his assets, “Two thousand three hundred lower-grade spirit stones!”

“Three thousand.” Chi Xulun still wore an indifferent expression.

Lu Yang borrowed money from Meng Jingzhou, “Lend me a thousand spirit stones, I’ll definitely return them next year!”

“Okay.” Meng Jingzhou agreed without hesitation.

“Three thousand three hundred lower-grade spirit stones!”

“Four thousand!”

Lu Yang continued to borrow money, but he could never outbid the wealthy Chi Xulun.

In the end, Chi Xulun won the transformation technique with a shocking price of eight thousand spirit stones. Lu Yang tearfully made a net profit of eight thousand spirit stones, achieving a win-win situation, much to everyone’s delight.

After the auction ended, as Lu Yang and his group were preparing to leave, just as they stepped out of the market area and arrived at the deserted foot of the mountain, they were blocked by Chi Xulun and Shen Jinyi.

“What do you want to do!”

Chi Xulun smiled cruelly, “What do we want to do? Kid, don’t play dumb. No one has ever tricked me!”

He took out the Lu Family’s Transformation Technique and released his Foundation Establishment stage aura, “Tell me, what ancient secret is hidden in this book!”

“If you tell me, I can spare your lives. If you dare to lie, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Chi Xulun had no intention of letting the four go, knowing that the fewer people who knew the ancient secret, the better. Moreover, Lan Ting was extremely beautiful, and he intended to play with her before killing her!

In Chi Xulun’s eyes, these four, unable to produce a few thousand spirit stones, were surely at the Qi Cultivation stage.

Qi Cultivators had no chance of resistance against him!

Lu Yang sighed, thinking of the hint given by Helmsman Chu to cause trouble during the Spring Festival. Had Helmsman Chu anticipated today’s situation, suggesting he kill Chi Xulun and Shen Jinyi?

Helmsman Chu’s Ingenious Calculations!

Lu Yang removed his mask, revealing his true face: “Chi Xulun, there’s no need for us to be so stiff with each other.”

Saying this, he secretly took out a recording sphere.

“Lu Yang! You deserve to die!” Chi Xulun became furious, instantly realizing that Lu Yang was mocking him.

The auction was a play staged for him!

“There must be some misunderstanding between us, surely someone is stirring trouble behind our backs. How about this, let’s go to Helmsman Chu and clarify things. Even if you don’t believe me, you should at least believe Helmsman Chu, right?”

Mentioning Helmsman Chu only made Chi Xulun angrier: “You dare bring up Helmsman Chu, where do you get the nerve!”

“Helmsman Chu must have been deceived by you to let you be an officer. What other villain, you are the villain!”

“How am I the villain? Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Yang argued vehemently.

Chi Xulun sneered: “Don’t think I don’t know about all the ‘good’ things you’ve done!”

“In front of Helmsman Chu, you act like a gentleman, but all you’ve done since joining the sect is to harm us. I see you as nothing but a righteous spy sent here!”

Of course, Chi Xulun’s words were spoken in anger. If he truly believed Lu Yang was a righteous spy, he would have secretly monitored Lu Yang and gathered evidence long ago.

Lu Yang sighed deeply, put away the shadow-capturing orb, and drew his three-foot green blade, reluctantly saying, “It seems there is only battle left between us.”

Chi Xulun and Shen Jinyi, with a hint of disdainful smiles, drew their weapons to face off.

Meng Jingzhou, Barbarian Bone, and Lan Ting did the same.

The battle commenced.

…

Lu Yang brought the news of Chi Xulun and Shen Jinyi’s deaths to Helmsman Chu.

No matter how strong Chi Xulun and Shen Jinyi were, they couldn’t possibly survive against four Immortal Sect disciples. It was a one-sided crushing defeat, and the manner of their deaths was so gruesome that Lan Ting lost her appetite.

Lu Yang took out the shadow-capturing orb and explained to Helmsman Chu, “You know what Chi Xulun is like, he kills at the slightest disagreement. I recorded in advance just in case he came to you claiming injustice, saying I bullied him.”

“Now, it seems he won’t be coming to you.”

“The shadow-capturing orb had some issues and recorded intermittently, but fortunately, it can roughly reflect the situation at that time. Please have a look.”

Helmsman Chu, sitting on a jade chair, picked up the shadow-capturing orb and saw the scene.

“Chi Xulun, there’s no need for us to be so stiff with each other.” Lu Yang tried to ease the tension with Chi Xulun.

“Lu Yang! You deserve to die!” Clearly, Chi Xulun was not receptive.

“There must be some misunderstanding between us, surely someone is stirring trouble behind our backs. How about this, let’s go to Helmsman Chu and clarify things. Even if you don’t believe me, you should at least believe Helmsman Chu, right?”

“Helmsman Chu… where do you get the nerve!”

“Helmsman Chu… letting you be an officer… you are the villain!”

“…How am I the villain? Don’t talk nonsense!” Lu Yang argued his case.

“Don’t think I don’t know… he… the good things he’s done!”

“…Helmsman Chu… acting like a gentleman… all you’ve done since joining the sect is to harm us… I see… just a righteous spy sent here!”

The recording ended there, leaving Helmsman Chu grinding his teeth in anger.

Lu Yang, filled with righteous indignation, said, “Helmsman, you’ve been kind to me. We in the Demonic Path have our own pride and gratitude. Seeing Chi Xulun falsely accusing you and Shen Jinyi not stopping him, I was enraged. In a fit of anger, I, along with Meng Jingzhou and the others, killed them!”

“It’s not suitable to record during a fight, so I put away the shadow-capturing orb.”

Naturally, Lu Yang wouldn’t let Helmsman Chu know about their fighting style.

Helmsman Chu praised loudly, and one could even sense his anger towards Chi Xulun: “Well done! Those two beasts deserved their deaths!”

Helmsman Chu knew of Chi Xulun’s dissatisfaction with him. He had called Chi Xulun over for guidance, considering his talents, and Chi Xulun had expressed loyalty in front of him, claiming he would do better than Lu Yang.

Now, it seemed Chi Xulun still harbored resentment, even fabricating absurd claims like being a righteous undercover agent.

How could the Undying Sect possibly have a righteous undercover agent!

“Lu Yang, you’ve removed two major threats for our sect. Well done! When the inspector arrives, I’ll be sure to speak highly of you!”
