s the Dao Tian I mentioned to you before, the one who saved my and my senior sister's lives!" Ling'er said hastily."Heaven's way"Jiang Ruolan's brows furrowed as she looked at Fang Yu ahead.Then, she..."Soul Devouring Scripture."

Fang Yu's eyes flashed a hint of playfulness, and he circulated the Soul Devouring Art.

"Whoosh!"

A red vortex appeared.

A massive amount of spiritual energy was drawn from the pillar and forcibly absorbed into Fang Yu's body through the channel built by the Eye of the Dao.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A large amount of spiritual energy flowed into Fang Yu's body.

At the same time, the other seventeen cultivators inside Linglong Tower also felt the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly become much more abundant.

They stared in shock, unsure what had happened.

And then, overjoyed, he continued to practice his cultivation techniques with even greater focus.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"

But here, Fang Yu didn't take ten minutes to absorb all the spiritual energy within that pillar.

Then, he patted his butt and walked towards the secret room.

"Whoosh!"

Right in front of him, there was a handprint.

He had already seen with the Eye of Greatness that this was a portal.

Fāng Yǔ walked up to the wall and pressed his hand onto the handprint.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, he left the secret room and returned to the gate of the so-called Linglong Tower.

The guard who escorted him in looked at Fang Yu with a suspicious expression.

"Hi." Fang Yu smiled and greeted him.

The guard's face immediately turned cold as he said, "If you left the domain by accident, I have nothing to do with it. You must surrender your merit points again to enter the domain once more."

"No more, no more, it's boring." Fang Yu shook his head and turned to leave.

The guard let out a cold snort, not pleased with Fang Yu's attitude.

But by then, Fang Yu had already walked far away.

Stepping out of the Linglong Pagoda's area, they saw Yun Ning and her deputy waiting outside.

Fang Yu walked forward.

Yun Ning and his deputy were obviously very surprised to see Fang Yu.

"Brother Fang, why... did you come out so quickly" Yun Ning asked in confusion, "It hasn't even been half an hour yet."

"It's boring, the spiritual energy here is too thin," Fang Yu said. "You're right, entering the Spirit Realm isn't as good as exchanging for spirit crystals."

"This is the experience of many cultivators," Yun Ning laughed. "Since Brother Fang has come out, then we should go to exchange for... spirit crystals"

"Well, let's go." Fang Yu nodded.

Then, the three of them left Linglong Tower and headed deeper.

Soon, they came to a city.

This is a small town built within a big city.

As for size, it's about the same as the cities on Big Dipper Star.

However, the architectural style is more modern.

For example, the city walls were not built of stone, but rather seemed to be forged from some kind of steel or metal, emanating a faint metallic sheen.

In terms of strength, it is also higher than ordinary city walls, and it contains a special aura.

"This is the trading district," Yun Ning said. "You can buy any medicine, artifacts, burning stones, and so on you need inside. The general currency used for trading is Xuan coins, but in a few cases, you can also trade directly with spirit crystals."

"That's how it is." Fang Yu nodded.

Three people walked into the trading area together.

Crowds thronged the streets, and vehicles flowed like water.

As we walked along the road, we could see all kinds of stalls lining both sides.

Some are selling elixirs and panaceas, while others display numerous antique objects of various kinds. Others still are peddling magical artifacts.

Shouts, chatter, and arguments echoed through the air.

Although it looks lively, one can clearly see that whether it's the vendors selling their wares or the cultivators buying various necessities... there are no smiles on their faces.

Their expressions were quite numb, and their eyes lacked any other light.

Obviously, for them, buying or selling here... was merely about survival.

Here, replenish supplies, then hit the road again to complete various tasks for the alliance. After completing the tasks, return to replenish supplies... an endless cycle, that's all there is to it.

There's not much hope, only a feeling of extreme oppression and gloom.

In the past, Yuning and her deputy also had the same expressions and feelings.

But today, it is completely different.

Yun Ning and his deputy's smiles were almost uncontrollable.

They had 2.3 million Xuan Coins and 1,380 merit points in their possession!

They have never seen so much wealth in their lives!

"Fangge, let's go to the Lingjing Pavilion to exchange for spirit crystals first, and then come out to see what we want to buy... Anyway, all the wealth here is actually yours!" Yun Ning said to Fangyu.

"Okay," Fang Yu nodded.

After passing through several streets, a building with an obviously extremely luxurious facade came into view.

A crystal-like stone stood by the door, engraved with intricate script.

But faintly, one can make out three big characters.

Spirit Crystal Pavilion.

But at this moment, Fang Yu's attention was not on the extremely luxurious building before him, but on a stall at the corner.

This vendor is a gray-haired old lady, and her stall is filled with some miscellaneous objects.

There are wooden tokens, rusted medicine bottles, and even yellowed pieces of paper.

It looks like a bunch of junk.

Ke Fangyu's gaze, however, was fixed on a piece of debris on the stall!

This is not a piece of broken glass, but a tarnished and fragmented piece of copper.

For some reason, at first glance, Fang Yu could feel the heaviness and age emanating from this copper block.

This copper piece’s existence… must certainly date back a very long time.

"Here is the Lingjing Pavilion, Brother Fang."

At that moment, Yuning's voice brought Fang Yu back to reality.

"Oh." Fang Yu nodded, then turned his head.

But his thoughts were still on the copper plate.

The three men were stopped at the gate by the guards.

"Only two people at a time are allowed to enter the Lingjing Pavilion. Everyone else must wait outside." The guard said expressionlessly.

"Well then, the two of you go in. I'll wait for you outside." Fang Yu said to Yun Ning and his deputy.

Just then, he could take this opportunity to go to the old woman's stall and study that copper piece closely.

“Alright, Fang brother, we'll be out soon.” Yun Ning said to Fang Yu.

Having said that, Yun Ning and her deputy walked into the Lingjing Pavilion together.

Fang Yu then turned and walked towards the stall at the corner of the street.

He soon arrived before the stall.

Compared to the bustling crowds at other stalls, there was no one interested in this old lady's stall.

Fang Yu crouched down and looked at the copper piece.

"Young man, did you have your eye on this" The old woman asked with a smile when she saw the customer.

And then, with her withered and aged hands, she picked up the copper piece and handed it to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu took the copper block and actually felt a noticeable heaviness.

For him, this is extremely rare.

It can only be said that the weight of this copper ingot… is completely different from what its surface appearance suggests.

But the old woman was able to effortlessly lift the copper ingot....

Fang Yu glanced at the old woman, then back at the copper block in his hand.

To be honest, it's a copper block, but it's very thin, thin as glass.

From the external outline alone, it resembles the fragments shown by the judge somewhat.

This is a copper block, not glass. It doesn't emit any color or light; it only has a sense of heaviness.。Below is a precipice of thousands of meters. Through the extremely thick fog, one can vaguely see the scenery below the mountain. 。Until now, Fang Yu's consciousness hadn't truly accepted it... He ha...
