I awakened my god-tier passive skill early on and took off instantly

"What if I don't want to?" Lu Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Don't want to?"

Mei Tianlin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment would dare to refuse him.

Even the woman in black glanced at him in surprise, but said nothing.

"If you don't exchange, then I might just throw you off the boat. At this height, I don't know if you'll have time to use your magic weapon."

Mei Tianlin's voice was cold. This person in front of him was embarrassing him in front of his beloved, making him feel humiliated.

"That's too much trouble."

Lu Xin shook his head and held out a finger.

"What do you mean?"

Mei Tianlin frowned, and the others were also puzzled.

Lu Xin explained, "It means, I'll only use one finger. If you catch it, you live. If you don't, you die!"

Then, without giving the other party a chance to shout about his arrogance, a stream of scorching energy shot out from his fingertip, heading towards Mei Tianlin's brow.

Mei Tianlin only had time to change his expression before he felt the whole world lose its color.

"Bang!"

The sound of a heavy object falling on the wooden planks rang out, and Mei Tianlin's corpse fell heavily to the ground.

This commotion finally attracted the attention of many people.

"What's going on?"

"It's someone from the Blood Spirit Sect! He's been killed!"

… …

"You killed him?"

The woman in black recovered from her surprise and looked at Lu Xin.

"Do you want revenge?"

Lu Xin turned his head and asked indifferently.

The woman in black's face returned to its original cold expression, "I don't want to, but he is a direct disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect. You've caused a lot of trouble."

"Then you don't need to worry about it."

Lu Xin skillfully sucked the storage bag from the corpse into his hand, turned his head and called out to the little maid who had been frightened silly, told her to clean up, and then walked into his room.

After activating the protective formation, he casually began to check his unexpected gains.

Inside the storage bag, there were more than 15,000 low-grade spirit stones, more than 2,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and a top-grade magic sword.

Lu Xin took it out with interest and looked at it. The entire sword body was snow-white, and upon closer inspection, there were small lines on it, arranged like scales.

"White Dragon Sword?"

Lu Xin saw the words "White Dragon" engraved on the hilt, casually swung it around, and felt that it fit his hand quite well. He instantly erased the original owner's mark and took it for his own.

Then, he continued to check his gains, putting away the useful ones and putting the useless ones into a storage bag specifically for items to be sold. Soon, only one item of unknown value remained in his hand.

'What is this?'

He had a roll of ancient parchment of unknown material in his hand, with some mountains and rivers drawn on it, but no text description.

"This seems to be a map, but it's an incomplete map."

Lu Xin looked at it carefully, but couldn't make heads or tails of it, so he could only put it away for now.

After completing the inventory, he began to convert his mana.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

On this day, early in the morning, the treasure ship trembled, indicating that Dragon Abyss City had arrived.

Lu Xin also woke up from his cultivation.

No one had disturbed him these days.

And apart from occasionally going out to check the route to ensure that the owner of the treasure ship would not head towards the Blood Spirit Sect out of fear, he had been fully converting his mana.

Now he had converted nearly 300,000 units of mana, and with a little more time, he would be able to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Lu Xin stretched lazily, tidied up slightly, and walked out.

The treasure ship stopped at a bluestone square, which was still outside Dragon Abyss City. All flying magic weapons and flying mounts could not directly fly into the city.

They had to land here first.

When Lu Xin walked out, many people looked at him, knowing that this was a ruthless person who dared to kill even a direct disciple of the Blood Spirit Sect, and they directly made way for him.

Lu Xin was happy to have the convenience, and walked off the ship expressionlessly.

"The news will soon be sent back to the Blood Spirit Sect. Also, you should have hidden your cultivation level. You're in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, right?"

Suddenly, the woman in black from his neighboring room said beside him.

The others also looked at him in confusion. He was clearly in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he was able to instantly kill someone in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment with one finger, even if the other party didn't have time to defend.

Lu Xin glanced at her and shook his head with a sigh, "What a pity!"

"What a pity?" The woman in black frowned.

"It's a pity I'm not a demon."

Lu Xin dropped a sentence, and his body turned into a stream of light, flying into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"He's a Golden Core expert!"

Everyone was surprised. Even in the Three Sects and Four Clans of the Dragon Abyss Empire, Golden Core experts were at the Elder level.

"What did he mean just now?" Someone was puzzled.

"What's so difficult to understand about that? If he were a demon, he would definitely kill us all to cover up the news. Because even if he's in the Golden Core realm, the Blood Spirit Sect still has Nascent Soul experts."

"So that's what he meant. Hiss, didn't we just walk through the gates of hell?"

"Pretty much. Fortunately, the senior is righteous."

"So young?"

The woman in black solemnly withdrew her gaze from the horizon and walked towards the city. Soon, a team of guards came up to her and knelt on one knee, saying:

"Greetings, Princess."

… …

On the other side, Lu Xin went around in a half circle, came to another city gate, honestly and discreetly changed his clothes, suppressed his cultivation level to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and walked into the city.

He was here to do business and didn't want to be disturbed.

Soon he entered the city. Compared to the Myriad Immortal City of Yan Country, this Dragon Abyss City was much larger, and the cultivation levels of the people coming and going were also much higher.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators weren't everywhere, you would still encounter one after walking for a while.

If you wanted to find out information, you naturally had to go to a lively place. Coincidentally, Lu Xin hadn't satisfied his appetite for a long time, so he found a high-end restaurant.

The information here was generally more valuable.

After ordering some spirit cuisine at random, Lu Xin ate while paying attention to listening, and soon a lot of information came:

"I heard that the auction held by the Xingyuan Chamber of Commerce this time will feature a magic treasure embryo. As long as you add a little bit of your essence blood and refine it slightly, it can become your natal magic treasure."

"Magic treasure? It's powerful, but what's the use for us?"

"It's useless for us, but it's not necessarily the case for those Golden Core seniors. After all, not all Golden Core experts have magic treasures."

"That's true. Are there any useful things for us Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

"There are many… In addition to these, there are also some finale items that will not be revealed in advance."

Lu Xin listened silently, deciding that he must participate in this auction.

It wasn't for the magic treasure embryo, after all, he held the seven types of magic treasure refining methods given by the Suspended Holy Venerable.

The refining materials for these seven types of magic treasures were not as difficult to find as the True Yang Mysterious Fiend.

He had been collecting them along the way.

He planned that if there was really no news of the True Yang Mysterious Fiend after a while, he would first refine one to deal with emergencies.

The reason why he was participating was for those finale items.

He didn't know if there would be any surprises.

Lu Xin finished eating simply, and seeing that there was no more useful information, he got up and left. He planned to go to the street of stalls.

Every time he came to a city, he would go to the same place to pick up treasures.

The Soul Nourishing Wood for Li Youlan came from there.

After randomly finding a local, Lu Xin quickly found the location and happily strolled around.

Perhaps [Luck] was working again, and he soon made a discovery.

"Eh, is that…?"
