Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 321 A Triumphant Return!

In the Dragon Palace of the Northern Sea.

Perhaps because of the fruitful harvest, Wang Anran was in high spirits and led everyone straight to the second floor of the Dragon Palace.

Inside the second level of the Dragon Palace, light and shadow flowed, and a rich energy fluctuation permeated the air.

On the shelf, talismans gleamed with a mysterious radiance, spiritual liquid flowed slowly in jade bottles, and spells sealed in jade slips occasionally burst forth with dazzling light.

Li Qingyuan moved among them, his gaze sweeping over rows of spell jade slips, finally stopping at the spiritual liquid area.

He picked up a bottle of faintly glowing blue liquid, gently swirled it, carefully examined the liquid inside, and sighed:

"It's a good thing. Although it's not as pure as the Spirit Source Dew, it can still be used to restore Xuan power, and it's better because it's plentiful and practical."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and collected all the unknown blue spiritual liquid on the entire shelf into his spatial ring.

Afterwards, Li Qingyuan walked around, stopping frequently, and emptied three more rows of shelves before finally stopping.

All the items he swept away contained spiritual liquids that were beneficial to him. Including the previous row, his spatial ring now contained a total of four hundred bottles of spiritual liquids!

......

On the other side, Yue Qinghuan and Wang Anran walked side by side, like fish swimming among a dazzling array of goods.

The two would sometimes stop to look through an ancient spellbook, sometimes discuss the effects of talismans in hushed tones, and if they saw something they liked, they would not hesitate to put it into their possession.

But the most exaggerated one has to be the old ox!

At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves, completely let loose, and started showing off with abandon...

The main thing is that this guy had his spatial ring open and was stuffing all sorts of body-tempering pills into it like pouring beans.

With each sweep of his thick arm across a shelf, the goods there visibly shrank!

It was clear that the old ox's face was trembling with excitement, and his mouth was practically splitting open in a wide grin...

The demon shopkeeper on the second floor of the Dragon Palace twitched at the sight of the four people's behavior!

But bound by the rules of the Dragon Palace, they dared not stop them, and could only follow behind, frantically fiddling with their abacuses...

Other passing cultivators, seeing the four of them shopping so "crazy," couldn't help but mutter a comment:

"This...this is a 'stock purchase'?!"

------

An hour later, the four returned with their loot.

Immediately, Wang Anran once again generously used her spatial ring to pay the bill.

When they heard that 200,000 high-grade Xuan Crystals had been spent, the entire second floor of the Dragon Palace suddenly fell silent for a moment.

The surrounding cultivators all turned to look, their eyes filled with shock!

In their shock, everyone wanted to curse:

"Damn it! They really don't value mystic crystals at all, do they?"

"Two hundred thousand high-grade Xuan Crystals flowed away like water, all gone in one transaction?!"

"These four must be spendthrift sons from a thousand-year-old family... But with such extravagance, aren't they afraid of getting a beating when they get home!"

"..."

Li Qingyuan and the others could no longer hear what they were saying. The four of them followed the little fish demon back to the main hall on the first floor of the Dragon Palace.

The four of them wandered around this floor for about half an hour, and finding nothing of interest, they left without stopping.

The little fish demon watched their departing figures, its bluish-gray scales trembling slightly, its eyes filled with envy.

She had witnessed firsthand just how terrifyingly wealthy these four people were...

Indeed, some gaps cannot be bridged simply by effort...

------

On the other side, Li Qingyuan and his three companions traversed the underwater city and, after emerging from the city gate, swam directly upwards.

As they passed by the crab demon and a group of shrimp demons, the crab demon brandished its bone spear and approached them, about to strike up a conversation, when the four of them swam straight past without even glancing at each other.

The crab demon's pincers, holding the bone spear, froze in mid-air, while the surrounding shrimp soldiers all turned their heads, their small eyes staring intently at it.

The crab demon blushed, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, brandished his bone spear, saying:

"Pah! What's so great about that! Let's get to work! Someone's coming over there again!"

Having said that, he led his shrimp soldiers and slunk away towards the newly arrived cultivator, leaving only a string of unwilling bubbles slowly rising in the seawater...

As the dawn pierced the night sky over the Northern Sea, dyeing the coastline a magnificent golden-red, Li Qingyuan and her companions finally surfaced.

The salty sea breeze, carrying the warmth of the rising sun, swept over us, dispelling the gloom of the underwater black market.

Li Qingyuan and her group hurried along the stalls on the shore.

Before long, Bei Minghai had completely disappeared behind them.

A secluded place.

The four paused here for a moment, and then tacitly removed their black robes and bronze-colored gold and silver masks.

They were then stored together in the spatial ring.

These disguises, used to conceal their identities underwater, have temporarily fulfilled their purpose and will be used again at the auction a month later!

......

At midday, Yunxi City was bathed in lazy sunlight, and the aroma of food wafted through the streets.

After Li Qingyuan and his group returned, they randomly found a restaurant, had a quick lunch, and then went back to their rooms.

The exhaustion from a night of running around finally hit, and even the usually energetic old ox yawned and staggered into the room.

Inside Li Qingyuan's room.

He leaned back in the wicker chair, the sunlight streaming through the carved window lattice onto him, making him feel warm and comfortable.

At this moment, he was playing with a spatial ring in his hand, the one containing the spiritual medicine.

On the way back, Wang Anran gave him the spatial ring.

He also gave all the unused spiritual herbs and medicines to the old ox.

Even so, the spatial ring still contained more than twenty kinds of precious medicinal materials needed for the antidote pills!

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan slowly closed his eyes, then took a deep breath and paused his thoughts.

At that moment, time and space seemed to stand still, and his mind calmed down for a moment as well.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with determination and passion!

Even he was barely able to contain his excitement; another step closer, almost there...

Old Hua will definitely survive!
