After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 394 Crimson Sky Soil

"What are your plans for the future? Now that the Seven Luminaries Sect has sealed off the inter-domain formation, and you're carrying such valuable items," Shen Xu couldn't help but ask.

"There should be no danger in Tianjian City for the time being. After the auction ends, I can teleport directly from Tianjian City to the Seven Luminaries Sect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu frowned. He estimated that the Seven Luminaries Sect would seal the inter-domain array until next spring, and it would only be reopened after the Seven Luminaries Star Saint returned from the Central Continent.

"Okay! If there's anything I can help you with, just send a message to Tianhe Guild Hall, and I'll come find you from Tianjian Mountain."

"Until we meet again!" The man in black clasped his hands in a salute and then left the venue.

Shen Xu smiled as he watched the black-robed man's retreating figure. He had a premonition that he and the black-robed man would meet again soon.

"What kind of deal did you make with him?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

"Bai Lu, do you know about Crimson Sky Soil?"

"Crimson Sky Soil? I don't recognize it."

"Dragon blood staining the crimson sky, the scene is quite beautiful," Shen Xu said with a smile.

……

"Legend has it that when each great world in the void of the universe was first created, the land illuminated by the crimson glow and the primordial energy would mix and generate a special kind of soil—Crimson Sky Soil."

Crimson Sky Soil is also one of the most mysterious spiritual soils in the void, possessing pure power that connects heaven and earth and can communicate with the mysterious and powerful forces of the void.

Many legendary sacred medicines and divine medicines can only survive in soil like the Crimson Sky Soil.

Dragon blood spills across the crimson sky! Indeed, such a sight might not be seen even once every ten million years.

For a pill refiner to sell you that lump of Crimson Heaven Soil for two million Nourishing Essence Pills, even if much of the Crimson Heaven Soil's spiritual essence has been lost, the person you described is truly extraordinary."

After listening to Li Xiaoyi relay Yun Yao's words, Shen Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Since the Crimson Sky Soil was so precious, why was the dragon blood sprinkled on it?

"I never thought the Sword Alliance could misjudge someone!" Bai Lu couldn't help but sigh.

"Shen Xu, you really got a steal, and you got it twice from one person. The Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill is something that you can't buy for two million in the Sword Alliance."

"After all, there's a huge demand for this kind of thing in the Sword Alliance, and it's priceless. You really should thank them properly," Guan Bi said with a smile.

"Although it was a bargain, it still cost me four million Nourishing Yuan Pills. How much did I get for the wood carving? Let me see if it's enough to pay off my debts?" Shen Xu shook his head helplessly.

"Want to guess?" Guan Bi asked with a smile.

"Judging from your good mood, I think it's definitely not less than ten million, but it won't be more than twenty million either, probably around fifteen million."

Upon hearing Shen Xu's words, Guan Bi held up five fingers.

“Fifty million!” Guan Bi said with a light laugh.

"How could that be! Haha, Guanbi, when did you learn to joke around?" Shen Xu laughed as well.

“Guanbi didn’t lie to you, your wood carving did indeed sell for fifty million,” Li Xiaoyi said at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xu and Bai Lu stared wide-eyed at Li Xiaoyi, their faces filled with disbelief.

Seeing their expressions, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but smile. "To be precise, the fifty million wasn't for your wood carving, but for what's behind it."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xu asked, puzzled.

"The Seven Luminaries Sect and the Sword Alliance placed the priority right to choose the territory of the Blood Central Realm on that wooden carving. In other words, what they actually bought was the right to choose the territory first. I only found out about this after the auction."

"Huh? There's such a stunt." He now understood why his wood carving was the grand finale, and the Qiling White Crane was indeed there to perform.

"Will I still be able to get the money?" Shen Xu asked somewhat uneasily, suddenly remembering something.

"Of the fifty million Nourishing Yuan Pills sold, after deducting the Chamber of Commerce's commission, there were thirty-five million left. And these thirty-five million Nourishing Yuan Pills are the reward given to us by the Sword Alliance."

Based on their respective contributions, I'll take 20 million, you'll take 10 million, and the remaining 5 million will go to Bai Luguanbi and Ye Zhi.

"This..." Shen Xu never expected the Four Directions Sword Alliance to be so generous. If he took this money, how could he leave Xingchuan Domain with peace of mind?

Seeing Shen Xu's unconsciously upturned lips, Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh as well. "Don't be too happy yet. I intercepted nearly five million yuan worth of Yuan Liquid for you at this auction. Add to that the four million yuan you owe the Chamber of Commerce, which means you can only get one million yuan."

"Ah, this..." Shen Xu's smile froze instantly. How could ten million have shrunk by nearly ten times in Li Xiaoyi's mouth!

"We made no contribution to the Blood Central Realm, so how can we get a reward?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Even if you didn’t enter the Blood Central Realm, we are still a team. The mission was originally assigned to all five of us, so there’s no reason to leave you out,” Li Xiaoyi explained.

"But I still feel..."

“Miss, without you, the five of us wouldn’t have been able to get together, and we wouldn’t have been able to take on the mission to explore Shuanghe Village. How can you say we made no contribution? Besides, if you don’t want the reward, how can Xiaozhi accept it?” Guanbi advised.

"OK then!"

"Hey! How come you didn't call me when you were dividing the money? I flew around that garden several times today!" Suddenly, the voice of the Qiling White Crane rang in his mind, and then he felt some weight on his shoulders.

This made Shen Xu sigh inwardly that the Qiling White Crane was becoming more and more elusive, even he couldn't detect its approach.

"Your money is with Xiao Yi. Don't be shy about asking her for anything in the future. It's all your hard-earned money," Shen Xu earnestly advised.

“Alright, I’ll cover the expenses for the Spirit Crane from now on!” Li Xiaoyi agreed upon hearing Shen Xu’s words.

The white crane tilted its head in confusion, feeling that its current life of wealth was no different from before.

"By the way, City Lord Baiyu wants Xiaoruo to live with me for a while. I wonder if that will affect Xiaoruo's condition?"

"It doesn't have much of an impact. The longer I'm with it, the more confused the Feather Clan Temple becomes, and the longer it takes to delay things."

"When do you plan to go to the Feathered Clan's Holy Temple?"

"Wait until I break through to the Qi Sea Realm!" With that three-stage marrow-refining pill, the time it takes for him to break through to the Qi Sea Realm will likely be shortened considerably.

"In fact, the Feather Clan Temple only receives souls, and your human race's soul strength will not increase much unless you enter the Rebirth Realm. Therefore, your breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm is useless in dealing with the dangers in the Feather Clan Temple."

"That has nothing to do with it. I have other reasons why I have to break through to the Qi Sea Realm as soon as possible."

Hearing these words from Shen Xu's mouth, Bai Lu and Guan Bi were both puzzled. They didn't know why Shen Xu was in such a hurry to break through to the Qi Sea Realm, since his cultivation rate was already fast enough.
