This was related to his own strength.
Lu Yuan was already prepared and was not surprised.
The only thing that made Lu Yuan's heart ache was that this was Heaven Repairing City, the upper level of the Land of Origin, not White Cloud City. There was no ranking list, so Lu Yuan could not use the ranking list to obtain the privilege of the auction house to be free of intermediary fees. He even had to pay an intermediary fee for nothing.
The middleman fee in Heaven Repairing City was much cheaper than the lower tiers, only requiring 5% of the total.
Even so, Lu Yuan still had to pay a middleman fee of more than two million Level 8 Spiritual Crystals.
This was a large sum of spiritual crystals, which made Lu Yuan feel extremely pained.
However, this was something that could not be helped.
Lu Yuan withdrew all the spiritual crystals.
If all these spiritual crystals were used to evolve the Jade Royal Flower, Lu Yuan could evolve about 200 saint-grade Jade Royal Flowers, which was equivalent to more than 20 million level 8 spiritual crystals. It was almost enough for Lu Yuan to refine most of his transcendent-grade genes to perfection.
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and bought some low-quality treasures from the auction house to evolve. Then, he continued to auction and accumulate spiritual crystals.
After that, Lu Yuan returned to the martial arts hall and began to cultivate.
If the Life Gift Transcendent Gene was to be refined to perfection, it would require about five million level 8 spiritual crystals. Lu Yuan still needed about four million. With his absorption speed of 5,000 level 8 spiritual crystals per hour, he would be able to refine it to perfection in about two months.
In other words, Lu Yuan could leave the Land of Origin only after refining the Gift of Life to perfection.
Lu Yuan began to cultivate in peace.
....
In the real world.
Red Maple Empire border city, Le Nan City.
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the most luxurious hotel in Lenan City, the Sixth Apostle of the Order of Natural Disaster stood in front of the French windows, looking down at the ordinary people coming and going below. His human face was indifferent.
Right at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Du Bei said indifferently,
"Come in."
The door opened and a beautiful girl walked in. She knelt on one knee and said with a fanatical expression,
"Sir, we've already investigated. The mutated beast you mentioned seems to have a very powerful devouring ability. At that time, it devoured a few large cities and was severely injured by a group of Battle Emperor. After that, it never appeared again."
"He was severely injured by a group of Battle Emperors?"
Du Bei looked at the pedestrians below and muttered to himself. Then, he sneered,
"The mighty Gaston Demon Hound was actually heavily injured by a group of Battle Emperors? Was it just born?"
The beautiful girl didn't say anything and just lowered her head.
After the atmosphere in the room fell silent for a while, Du Bei narrowed his eyes and said indifferently,
"Right, why is that Heaven Abyss Saint here?"
On the second day after Du Bei arrived at Planet Daqi, he sensed the powerful aura of the Heaven Abyss Saint. He did not make a move. After all, his mission was only to find the Battle-Saint who killed the Gaston Demon Hound.
The Order of Natural Disaster had a file on the Heaven Abyss Saint. He was very powerful, and even Dubei was not confident that he could win. He would not provoke him if he could avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, he was still curious as to why Heaven Abyss Saint would appear on a small planet like Daqi.
The young lady lowered her head and said, "The Heaven Abyss Saint was invited by the Battle Emperor of the Red Maple Empire to come here to deal with the mutated beast. Because the mutated beast had already disappeared, the Heaven Abyss Saint left not long after."
"So it's like this…" Realization appeared in Du Bei's eyes. "Heaven Abyss Saint was originally invited to deal with the Gaston Demon Hound, but the Gaston Demon Hound was killed by an unknown Battle-Saint, so we wasted our time. However, which mutated beast was that a few days ago?"
Du Bei was a little puzzled. On the day he arrived, he had sensed the aura of a Saint Rank mutated beast. Unfortunately, that mutated beast was too weak. It probably could not even cause trouble for the Heaven Abyss Saint.
It was better to let him eat it. He could even increase his strength a little.
"Did you find any information about the hidden Saints on Planet Daqi?"
Du Bei didn't continue thinking about the Heaven Abyss Saint and asked instead.
"No." The girl shook her head slightly.
"Yes ... It's unrealistic to find a Saint who has never appeared before in such a short time."
Du Bei wasn't surprised. He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Then, he looked at the border. It was the forbidden area that the people of the Red Maple Empire called the Endless Mountain Range.
There were quite a few forbidden zones like this on Great Enlightenment Planet. To Du Bei, who was a battle sage, it was just a very ordinary place. He felt that he might be able to stir up some trouble and force that battle sage out?
Of course, he had to plan carefully to avoid being discovered and making it difficult for him to escape.
Du Bei revealed a smile.
Then, he turned to look at the girl with a fanatical expression and slowly walked over.
He smiled and pressed his hand on the girl's head. He said indifferently,
"Well done, I'll give you another reward."
Wisps of green light appeared in his hand and slowly flowed from his hand into the girl's head.
Green lines appeared on the girl's delicate face. Her expression was a little painful and a little happy, and the fanaticism on her face became even more intense.
A moment later, the green light slowly disappeared. The girl's aura was much stronger than before, and it was even more strange and evil.
Excitement appeared in her eyes as she said,
"Thank you, sir."
"Go ahead." Du Bei smiled slightly. "Well done. I might be able to lure you into the sect in the future. I'll give you a chance to follow me."
"Yes, my lord!"
The young girl stood up, bowed, and retreated. After leaving the room, she carefully closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Du Bei once again looked at the horizon through the French windows.
He thought for a moment, then casually tore open the space and stepped into it.
In the next moment, in a forest deep within the Endless Mountains, space was torn apart as Du Bei stepped out.
There happened to be an Earthbound Demon Dragon that was more than 20 meters tall and covered in black scale armor resting in the surroundings. Sensing the spatial fluctuation, it suddenly jumped up and bowed its body. It looked at Du Bei, who had walked out of the spatial rift, with some vigilance and fear. Then, it turned around and ran. Its intuition told it that this creature that had come out was not to be trifled with.
Du Bei glanced at the fleeing Earthbound Demon Dragon, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
He didn't chase after it, nor did he make a move. He just quietly watched the Earthbound Demon Dragon escape.
In the next moment, he closed his eyes slightly. After sensing for a moment, he opened his eyes and revealed a smile.
"Is the highest level an emperor-level fierce beast? A little weak, but barely."
Du Bei's body disappeared from his spot.
....
In the upper level of the Origin Source Grounds, the dojo.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the gravity room.
Streaks of gray iron light were flowing around him. Around him, there was a magnificent and huge gear shadow that was constantly rotating and alternating. The terrifying aura turned into airwaves that surged in the gravity room.
A moment later, Lu Yuan opened his eyes, and the phantom of gears appeared in his eyes.
He exhaled slightly and felt the surging power in his body. Lu Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
Lu Yuan had already refined Life Gift to perfection. Even the Mechanical Emperor had only refined more than half of it.
This took Lu Yuan about four months of origin time.
Lu Yuan's current strength had increased significantly compared to before.
According to this progress, even if Lu Yuan couldn't refine the Mechanical Emperor to perfection before leaving the Land of Origin, he would be able to refine it to perfection in a few days next time. At that time, there might be hope for him to refine the Space Walker to perfection as well?
Lu Yuan was naturally very satisfied with this cultivation progress.
Well ... Perhaps he had to prepare to return to White Cloud City and take the reward for the Emperor Ranking List, so that he wouldn't be too late.
At this moment, Lu Yuan paused and took out his communication crystal.
The communication crystal flashed with white light. After Lu Yuan picked up, Li Qinghe's pretty face appeared in the crystal.
Lu Yuan was about to speak when Li Qinghe said anxiously,
"Brother Yuan, something happened again. Get out quickly."
Lu Yuan: "??? "
Why is there so much going on recently?
