Originally, he had some expectations about the power of the Three Talents Talisman Array constructed with the Golden Armor-Breaking Talisman.

But when he witnessed the array unleash such astonishing power with his own eyes, he was deeply shocked!

To think that was a Third-rank Lower Grade Demon Beast, with an extremely tenacious life force, and it was blasted to death in the blink of an eye?

But Xu Ping knew that now was not the time to be shocked by the power of the Three Talents Talisman Array.

"We should leave now, this place is not safe to stay for long!"

He took a deep breath, striving to suppress the surge of excitement in his heart.

After all, he had just slain Jin Yifei's Third-rank Spirit Beast, Jin Yifei might explode with rage!

If Jin Yifei were to catch up with him, it would be a big problem.

Xu Ping quickly stepped forward and secured the corpse of the Demon Beast.

This was a Third-rank Demon Beast, its entire body was a treasure, invaluable in the Cultivation Realm, any piece taken outside could cause a major stir.

Of course, he would not let such an opportunity slip away and waste it.

Lastly, Xu Ping did not forget the silver-haired old man who had fallen into the water after being seriously injured.

With a flash of his figure, he came to the water's surface and reached out to fish the old man out from underwater.

Afterward, Xu Ping released his Divine Sense and quickly scanned the old man's body.

Once he was sure there were no items or marks capable of tracking his whereabouts, he carried the old man, transforming into a streak of light, and quickly disappeared into the vast horizon.

Dragon Lion Island, Auction Hall!

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jin, on successfully bidding for the grand treasure of this auction—the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood!"

Tong Xingbang's high-spirited voice resonated like a large bell throughout the spacious auction hall.

"This Millennium Thunderstruck Wood is an unparalleled rare material for crafting top-tier magical treasures!!"

"Senior Jin has successfully bid on it, even if not crafting an extraordinary top-class magical treasure anew, just having his Lifebound Magical Treasure absorb and merge with it, its power would certainly be greatly enhanced!"

"I've heard that Senior Jin possesses a Thunder Attribute Spirit Root, and now having the fortune to acquire this Millennium Thunderstruck Wood is like adding wings to a tiger, his strength will surely advance to a new level!"

"Indeed it is so!"

...

As soon as the words fell, a series of whispering murmurs arose in the auction hall.

The voices of everyone were filled with reverence and envy towards Jin Yifei!

In private box number eleven on the third floor.

Jin Yifei, having successfully bid on the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood, couldn't help but display a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I've been searching for the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood for so long, and now, I finally have it in my possession."

"Once my Lifebound Magical Treasure absorbs it, its power will surely ascend to a higher level."

"In this way, I will certainly have the upper hand over that fellow!"

At this thought, a chilling glint suddenly flashed in the depths of Jin Yifei's eyes.

Though he was the Nascent Soul seed of the Profound Nether Sect, the pressure he was under was immense.

After all, he was not the only Nascent Soul seed in the Profound Nether Sect; there were three in total.

In this fierce competition, only the victor among the three could receive the full support of the Profound Nether Sect to help achieve Nascent Soul Formation.

As for the two who fail, they will be stripped of their Nascent Soul seed status.

Though their lives wouldn't be endangered, they would remain stuck at the Golden Core Stage for the rest of their lives, with no further possibility of advancement.

To pave his own path, Jin Yifei undoubtedly had to fight with all his might!

However, within these three, though his strength was not the weakest, he was consistently suppressed by another, unable to stand out.

Now, having finally acquired the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood, as long as he uses it to enhance his Lifebound Magical Treasure, he should manage to surpass his rival by a measure!

In fact, Jin Yifei also knew that the Luoyun Sect, in holding this auction and even putting such treasures as the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood out, had ulterior motives.

It was, after all, to make him and the first-line Nascent Soul seed kill or be killed, plunging Feng Country into chaos.

But!

So what!

As long as he can gain the upper hand over his rival and achieve Nascent Soul, everything is worth it.

At this moment.

Creaaak!

The door opened, and Tong Xingbang, with a full-face smile, brought in the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jin, on bidding for the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood, with such Spirit Wood as assistance, achieving Nascent Soul is just around the corner!" Tong Xingbang said with a smile, his tone warm and cordial.

"Fellow Daoist Tong is too polite, achieving Nascent Soul is easier said than done, throughout history, how many astonishing talents have struggled to cross this great chasm in their lifetime."

Jin Yifei instantly retracted his usual arrogance, his tone becoming very humble and courteous, appearing completely different from the reckless image he projected during the auction earlier.

He was able to cultivate up to the Middle Stage of Golden Core, naturally intelligent and wise beyond ordinary, certainly not reckless and ignorant.

He was very clear in his mind about what attitude to adopt towards different people.

"With Fellow Daoist Jin's talent, crossing the threshold of Nascent Soul, in my opinion, will surely be no problem!" Tong Xingbang laughed softly, continuing to flatter.

"Here is the Millennium Thunderstruck Wood, Fellow Daoist Jin might as well examine it carefully first."

As he spoke, Tong Xingbang lightly flipped his hand, and an ancient wooden box, about three feet long, emitting a mysterious Restriction light, surprisingly floated above his palm.

Jin Yifei reached out and took the wooden box, his sleeve lightly waving, a thread of Mana passed over it, and the Restriction on the wooden box was instantly and effortlessly dispelled.

The next moment.

With a 'crack,' the wooden box opened automatically.

Inside the wooden box, lay a piece of Spirit Wood with a peculiar shape, quietly resting within.

The surface of this Spirit Wood was carbonized, as hard and textured as black dragon's scales, with mysterious and splendid purple lightning patterns faintly emerging from the cracks.

Upon closer inspection, its form was winding and twisting, like a dormant dragon, exuding a sense of ancient and majestic aura.

What's more, the cracks flowed with lightning that seemed liquid, each pattern appearing as if personally engraved by thunder, emanating a powerful force that caused the heart to tremble.

Jin Yifei's fingers moved slightly, a strand of pure Mana silently injected into it.

Bzzz!

The Millennium Thunderstruck Wood buzzed and trembled, the air in the private box permeated with tingling static electricity, even the surrounding tables and chairs were cracked into blue smoke.

If it weren't for the protective Array around this box, it would probably be blasted to dust by the static power.

"It truly is the genuine Millennium Thunderstruck Wood!!"

Jin Yifei tightly gripped this long-cherished Spirit Wood, his eyes could not help but flash with an uncontrollable gleam of excitement.
