Exalted Soul Banner for the Soul Transformation Stone?

As soon as these words were spoken

, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Everyone could tell Yan Yu wasn’t sincere in his words!

The Exalted Soul Banner’s value far surpassed the Soul Transformation Stone; the two simply couldn’t be compared.

Luo Baitong’s expression suddenly darkened.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, that’s not what you said before!” “Fellow Daoist Luo

, this has nothing to do with you. Please leave.”

“No!”

Luo Baitong’s face was icy.

He had always been a man of integrity, and he couldn’t let Yan Yu tarnish his reputation.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, one must not go back on one’s word. You are the Young Master of the Blood Beast Valley. How can you go back on your word? Where does your behavior put the reputation of the Blood Beast Valley?”

“Haha, we’re all Tribulation Cultivators. What’s the point of talking about face?”

Yan Yu smiled, but his smile was a little sinister.

Li Changan frowned and glanced at Mo Wanwan.

He could see it.

Yan Yu’s sudden change of heart was connected to this woman.

“Fellow Daoist Yan, since you’re unwilling to sell the Soul Transformation Stone, let

‘s just leave it at that!” Li Chang’an bowed and was about to leave.

But several Tribulation Cultivators from the Blood Beast Valley suddenly blocked the entrance.

Yan Yu smiled, “Fellow Daoist Li, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I sincerely wish to exchange it for your Exalted Soul Banner. Why don’t you name a price?”

Li Chang’an ignored him and strode towards the door.

His expression was cold, and he glanced at the Tribulation Cultivators blocking the entrance.

“Get lost!”

Upon hearing this, the Tribulation Cultivators’ faces changed slightly. The rules of the black market prohibited fighting inside.

Even if they did ,

they would likely be no match for Li Chang’an. They

were blocking the way simply because of Yan Yu’s orders.

Seeing Li Chang’an approaching,

they exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and retreated.

Li Chang’an, his expression impassive, stepped out the door and left.

Luo Baitong followed suit.

…

In the dark room.

The smile on Yan Yu’s face suddenly vanished.

His eyes, like those of a vicious wolf, glared at the Tribulation Cultivators.

“You useless bastards, can’t you even handle such a trivial matter?”

“Young Master, the black market has its rules. If a fight breaks out, I’m afraid you’ll be implicated!”

“Hmph!”

Yan Yu snorted coldly, without refutation.

They were right.

Though he was the Young Master of the Blood Beast Valley, he dared not violate the rules of the black market, for the power behind it was unimaginably powerful.

Rumor has it that

the entire Zhao Kingdom’s cultivation world, and the black markets in every region, are controlled by a single mysterious force.

…

Outside the dark room,

Luo Baitong looked apologetic.

“Friend Li, I’m truly sorry. I didn’t expect this to turn out this way.”

“It’s alright, Friend Luo, this has nothing to do with you.”

Li Changan shook his head slightly, unfazed.

Luo Baitong had done many things for him recently, and only this time had an incident, which made him quite reliable.

“This matter must be related to Mo Wanwan. It seems she’s still resentful about what happened last time,”

Li Changan pondered.

If Mo Wanwan could sabotage a deal once, she could sabotage it a second time.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but harbor murderous intent.

Just then,

Yan Yu, Mo Wanwan, and the others also emerged from the dark room.

Instead of concluding the matter, he walked straight up to Li Changan.

“Friend Li, are you really unwilling to sell me the Exalted Soul Banner?”

“Friend Yan knows it all, why bother asking?”

Li Changan replied coldly.

With that

, he turned and left, preparing to leave the black market.

Behind him, Yan Yu’s face was icy.

“You’re just relying on a Soul Banner, yet you’re so arrogant, disregarding our Blood Beast Valley!”

He stared at Li Changan’s back, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Then, he turned and sent a voice message to Mo Wanwan.

“Miss Mo, you’re right. This man is truly arrogant!”

Mo Wanwan’s cold eyes also glared at Li Changan’s back, their gaze filled with hatred.

Because of Li Chang’an,

she’d been lectured several times by her brother, nearly being barred from leaving the house.

“Master Yan, are you planning to take action?”

“Yes!”

Yan Yu’s murderous intent was clear, his mind set firmly on him.

Killing Li Chang’an wasn’t just for the Honored Soul Banner.

It was also to gain Mo Wanwan’s favor.

If he could form a Daoist partnership with Mo Wanwan, he’d have a chance to eventually conquer the entire Black Puppet Pavilion!

Then,

he could combine the strengths of both factions, helping him break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become the first Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Three Tribulations Alliance!

…

At this moment,

Li Changan sensed the murderous intent behind him.

But he didn’t care.

Even if the Blood Beast Valley’s Lord came in person, accompanied by a second-tier demon beast, he wouldn’t be afraid.

And what about Yan Yu, the Young Master of the Blood Beast Valley?

He left the Black Market, intending to return to Yellow Crane Immortal City.

But…

he hadn’t gone far when he noticed a group of Blood Beast Valley cultivators following behind him.

“How dare you follow us?”

Li Changan paused and turned.   Yan Yu and the others also stopped behind him.

A   quick glance revealed at least thirty Blood Beast Valley cultivators, many of them in the late Qi Refining stage.   The two sides confronted each other outside the Black Market, and the atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch.   Yan Yu shouted coldly, “Li Fan, I’m interested in forming a friendship with you, but you’ve spoken so arrogantly and insulted the Blood Beast Valley. I will not tolerate this!”   He spoke this way because Li Chang’an belonged to the Deadwood Cliff.   Both parties belonged to the Three Tribulations Alliance, so a fight would be considered an internal conflict; they needed a pretext.   Li Chang’an didn’t bother to argue.   Why waste time talking to a dead person?   He raised his hand, and a sinister soul banner instantly appeared.   ”Whoosh…”   A chilling wind blew, the air oppressive and unpleasant.   The entire world seemed to darken.   The confrontation between the two sides   had already been noticed by everyone in the black market.   ”How did Li Fan offend the young master of the Blood Beast Valley?”   ”Yan Yu is no ordinary ninth-level Qi Refiner. Li Fan is in trouble this time.”   The crowd was buzzing with discussion, most of them watching the spectacle.   Luo Baitong’s expression changed.   He hurriedly sent a message to Li Changan, “Fellow Daoist Li, if you’re defeated, find a way to escape back to the black market.”   ”Fellow Daoist Luo, do you have so little faith in me?”   Li Changan replied, his tone light.   Luo Baitong was stunned.   He glanced at the lineups of both sides and felt that Li Changan’s chances of victory were extremely slim.   The Tribulation Cultivators of the Blood Beast Valley were far more powerful than the three Blood and Fire Brothers. Yan Yu alone was enough to deal with them!   Just then,   Mo Wanwan approached him.   ”Fellow Daoist Luo, Li Fan will undoubtedly die this time. How about you work for me in the future? I have as many resources as Li Fan does.”   ”Those with different ideologies cannot work together!”   Luo Baitong snorted, turning and walking away.   Mo Wanwan frowned slightly.   She was about to speak again when a familiar figure suddenly appeared before her.   The Black Puppet Pavilion’s Master, Mo Feng!   At this moment…   Mo Feng’s face was gloomy, as if he was suppressing his anger.   ”Little sister, were you the one who instigated the situation between Li Fan and the Blood Beast Valley?”   ”No! I have nothing to do with it!”   Mo Wanwan immediately denied.   A flicker of fear flashed in her eyes. She dared not look at Mo Feng, only to gaze outside the Black Market.   ”Brother, after this, Li Fan will inevitably die. His Zun Soul Banner will fall into the hands of the Blood Beast Valley cultivators. If you had listened to me and attacked Li Fan earlier, that Zun Soul Banner would have been ours long ago!”   ”Shut up!”   Mo Feng’s face sank.   He berated her harshly, “Do you really think Li Fan is that easy to deal with?”   ”Brother, no matter how powerful he is, he’s only a Qi Refining cultivator. He doesn’t have the power of a second-level puppet. If you unleash your second-level puppet, how can he be a match?”   ”Enough! How many times have I told you? Don’t think you can run rampant just because you have a second-level puppet!”   Mo Feng, seething with rage, was about to reprimand her again.   But then,   the two sides outside the Black Market officially engaged in combat!   ”Whoosh—”   The Honored Soul Banner fluttered, and black mist surged, instantly engulfing all the Tribulation Cultivators in the Blood Beast Valley.   Seeing this scene,   many people in the black market changed their expressions.   They all realized that the power of the Honored Soul Banner was much stronger than last time.   The surging black mist seemed to come from an endless abyss, cold and creepy, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.   ”Ah—!”   A shrill scream suddenly rang out from within,   sending chills down everyone’s spines.   At this moment,   Yan Yu suddenly shouted from within: “Don’t worry! Give me a few more breaths. As long as I find Li Fan and kill him, this battle will be over!”   Everyone knew that Li Fan was only powerful in his Soul Banner, but his own strength was average.   He had been famous for so long.

Yet, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Among the Tribulation Cultivators, who among those with similar fame wasn’t a ninth-level Qi Refining expert?

Therefore, everyone agreed with Yan Yu’s words.

However,

what followed

was a series of screams, almost without interruption.

It was as if a terrifying monster was foraging within the black fog, devouring one Blood Beast Valley cultivator after another.

After more than thirty screams, the entire world fell silent.

It seemed to be over.

But a moment later,

Yan Yu’s furious voice rang out.

“Li Fan, I finally found you!”

Within the black fog, swirling mist and a sinister aura obscured all sight.

Li Chang’an stood in front of Yan Yu with an indifferent expression.

At this moment,

of the more than thirty Blood Beast Valley cultivators who had perished, only Yan Yu remained.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face brimming with rage, as if he wished to tear Li Chang’an to pieces right then and there.

“Li Fan, sacrifice your life for the Blood Beast Valley…”

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze.

Because…

Between him and Li Changan,

an extremely terrifying spirit appeared.

Even before it made a move, the aura it exuded was already suffocating him.

Yan Yu was horrified.

He was already a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, nearing the pinnacle of his Qi

Refining realm. Only a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could be so terrified by aura alone!

“No…”

Yan Yu’s face paled, and he tried to beg for mercy.

But he was pinned down, unable to utter a single word. He could only watch in despair as the second-level main spirit approached him and gently struck him.

Boom!

He instantly exploded, transforming into a rain of blood.

Li Changan, quick-witted, seized the storage bag and treasures from his body.

Then, he followed up with a move.

“Soul!”

In the next instant,

Yan Yu’s terrified spirit appeared within the black mist.

He stared at the swaying Honored Soul Banner, his eyes filled with regret and fear.

Had he known Li Changan possessed a second-level main spirit, he would never have dared attack him.

This was undeniable Foundation Establishment combat power, enough to rival his father’s second-level demon beast!

But now, it was too late to say anything!

Li Changan, with a thought, stored it within his Exalted Soul Banner.

“Another ninth-level Qi Refining soul, not bad!”

This time, he had a bountiful harvest, gathering over thirty souls.

The Exalted Soul Banner’s power had grown even stronger.

Furthermore,

the storage bags of these thirty-plus souls also became Li Changan’s possession.

He randomly opened a few and examined them, feeling quite satisfied.

“Whenever I feel I’m running low on spirit stones, someone comes to offer them. It seems I’m truly blessed, with exceptional luck among cultivators of my level.”

Li Changan smiled and, with a casual wave of his hand, retracted all the black mist within the Exalted Soul Banner.

The gloomy, oppressive feeling instantly dissipated, and the surroundings returned to their normal state.

Between heaven and earth,

he was the only one left!

The cultivators of the Blood Beast Valley had vanished, as if they had been sent to the abyss of hell.

This scene stunned countless people in the black market.

“Win… win?”

Luo Baitong was a little confused.

He rubbed his eyes, knowing he wasn’t imagining it, but he simply couldn’t believe it. Was

that Soul Banner truly so powerful, capable of slaying over thirty Blood Beast Valley cultivators?

Not far away,

Mo Wanwan’s pretty face paled.

Her gaze glazed over the world in disbelief.

“How could this be…”

Yan Yu was even more powerful than her, yet he still died at Li Chang’an’s hands.

In other words,

if Mo Feng hadn’t intervened that day,

she would have perished at Li Chang’an’s hands, becoming one of the countless souls within the Soul Banner!

At this thought, an unprecedented fear suddenly consumed her, chilling her entire body.

Beside her, Mo Feng sighed softly.

“See? I warned you long ago not to underestimate anyone.”

“Brother, I… I was wrong, I was wrong…”

Mo Wanwan’s voice trembled, not daring to look at Li Chang’an.

He had become a shadow in her heart.

Now,

she only hoped the Blood Beast Valley’s Lord would act quickly and utterly slay him.

At the same time, Luo Baitong also thought of the Blood Beast Valley Master.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly sent a message to Li Changan.

“Friend Li, hurry! The Blood Beast Valley Master is training in the secret realm. Leave before he returns. Next time you come to the black market, be sure to conceal your presence!”

“Okay.”

Li Changan’s expression remained unchanged as he vanished in a stream of light.

In reality,

he wasn’t afraid of the Blood Beast Valley Master; he even harbored a vague anticipation.

If he could kill that second-level demon beast, he would obtain a second-level demon core.

But…

Li Changan didn’t yet know the Blood Beast Valley demon beast’s exact strength.

Was it early, middle, or late second-level?

Was it skilled at escaping death? If he

couldn’t kill it, that would be troublesome!   The news that he, a Qi Refining cultivator, mastered multiple foundation-building techniques would surely spread throughout the Blood Beast Valley.

He   would face the greedy gazes of countless cultivators.   Even a Jindan True Immortal would hunt him down, hoping to seize the opportunity within him!   ”This must never happen!”   Li Changan recalled the ominous omen from before and warned himself silently.   If he wasn’t sure enough,   he couldn’t fight the monster in the Blood Beast Valley.   …

That night,

inside the mansion,

Li Changan sat cross-legged, counting the spoils.

There were over thirty storage bags, each containing a considerable number of treasures, though most were low-level and not particularly valuable.

Only the bags of those in the late Qi Refining Tribulation stage held a few treasures

of considerable value. As the young master of the Blood Beast Valley, Yan Yu’s storage bags naturally held the most valuable treasures.

Soon,

Li Changan found what he wanted.

“Soul Transformation Stone!”

With a thought, he took it out.

With this,

all the treasures needed to elevate the Honored Soul Banner to a second-grade, mid-grade item were complete.

Li Changan also took out the other treasures and placed them in front of the Honored Soul Banner along with the Soul Transformation Stone.

“Eat!”

As soon as he finished speaking,

a black mist surged from the Honored Soul Banner, engulfing all the treasures.

Immediately afterwards, its aura grew stronger and stronger, rapidly ascending to another realm. “

Second-grade, mid-grade item!”

The weapon spirit’s voice quickly rang out.

“Thank you… Master, I… I can suppress that evil spirit.”

“Alright!”

Li Chang’an immediately took out the Nether Soul Crystal that sealed the evil spirit.

Upon seeing the Supreme Soul Banner, the evil spirit screamed.

“Stop!”

“Boy, do you still want a method to improve your spiritual roots?”

“And a method for immortality! Heavenly-grade techniques, heavenly-grade spells, the location of the ancient sect’s treasure house…”

He roared hysterically, his voice alternating between male and female, like a madman.

Li Chang’an waited a moment,

hoping to see if this creature could offer anything useful.

However,

the evil spirit only roared wildly, its mind insane, offering nothing.

“It seems they are truly just a group of remnant souls, even their memories are shattered.”

Li Chang’an shook his head slightly.

He continued to wait, until midnight.

The hexagram indicated “peaceful,” indicating no unexpected events.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an no longer hesitated and threw the evil spirit into the Supreme Soul Banner.

Then,

even more shrill roars and cries emanated from the soul banner, and

the voice of the weapon spirit also echoed.

“Master… Master, this evil spirit is quite powerful. I… I need some time to control it.”

“Okay, no rush, take your time.”

Li Changan placed it in his storage bag, letting it slowly refine.

Then,

he continued to count the spoils.

After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a large, earth-yellow sword.

“A second-level, mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Earth-Splitting Blade!”

Li Changan smiled.

Unexpectedly,

Yan Yu’s storage bag would contain such a treasure.

The Earth-Splitting Blade is an earth-based treasure, perfect for foundation-building cultivators with earth-based spiritual roots or second-level earth-based monsters.

“It’s just that Da Huang doesn’t have a weapon.”

Li Changan immediately summoned Da Huang and tossed the treasure to him.

“Da Huang, this is for you!”

“Woof!”

Da Huang was overjoyed, his expression filled with gratitude.

After a moment, he refined the treasure and swallowed it in one gulp, his face filled with joy and satisfaction.

Li Changan continued to count the treasures.

There were so many things that he kept counting them until noon the next day.

Finally,

he let out a long sigh.

“Finally, I’ve finished counting. Although most of them are of little value, the sheer number is incredible!”

Li Chang’an smiled, and his storage bag began to swell again.

He put away all the treasures

and planned to continue his cultivation.

But just then, a guest suddenly arrived.

“Friend Li, are you home?”

“Friend Jiang?”

Li Chang’an immediately went to open the courtyard door.

Standing outside

was none other than Su Yuyan’s junior sister, Jiang Yuerong!

Li Chang’an looked around and saw that Jiang Yuerong was the only one there. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Friend Jiang, didn’t Yuyan come with you?”

“Friend Li, Senior Sister is about to establish her foundation. Master is afraid she’ll be distracted, so he won’t let her go down the mountain to see anyone.”

“Establishing her foundation so soon?”

Li Chang’an was surprised.

He invited Jiang Yuerong into the courtyard and poured her a cup of spiritual tea.

“Friend Jiang, is Yuyan sure?”

Li Chang’an sat across from her and asked seriously.

He naturally hoped that Su Yuyan could successfully establish her foundation, so that he would have another friend who could also establish her foundation.

Jiang Yuerong looked a little worried.

She sighed softly.

“Senior sister is a little nervous and worried about failure.”

“Worried about failure?”

Li Changan frowned.

This is troublesome!

At the stage of foundation building, the more worried you are, the more likely it is to go wrong.

“When we met last time, Yuyan’s mentality seemed to be pretty good. Why did she suddenly change?”

Li Changan was puzzled and asked hurriedly.

Jiang Yuerong explained: “It’s because of Senior Sister Yuan Ying. She failed in foundation building and her state of mind was broken. She said a lot of discouraging words, which were accidentally heard by Senior Sister Su.”

“Yuan Ying? Accidentally?”

Li Changan understood immediately.

Su Yuyan’s current situation is similar to that of Zheng Qingqing in the past.

Before Zheng Qingqing built her foundation, the Zheng family had failed several times in a row, so she was also a little nervous on the eve of her foundation building.
