Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation

It's good to have Ji Luo by my side.

Although Ding Huan can set up a Divine Array, he has not yet encountered the divine-level Heaven and Earth Rules. The Divine Array he set up was also given by Ji Luo with Array Flags.

Now Ji Luo has set up a divine-level hidden restriction, and Ding Huan easily bypasses the numerous Divine Will surveillance and passes through the defense Immortal Array of the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy.

"It seems like we don't need to take any action. Later, I'll extract this half-divine vein and use the Teleportation Talisman to leave," Ding Huan said lightly, looking at the extraction Immortal Array already set up.

The divine-level hidden restriction, even the Immortal Emperor here doesn't know someone has locked their half-divine vein.

Because the half-divine vein of the Tianxing Daoist Skill Academy was forcibly extracted, the half-divine vein of the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy was almost locked by various nine-level Immortal Restrictions.

However, in front of Ding Huan, these Immortal Restrictions were equally useless.

With a series of roars, the half-divine vein implanted beneath the academy was extracted, and the various Immortal Restrictions on it collapsed automatically.

After Ding Huan extracted the half-divine vein, the strong ones of the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy realized that their half-divine vein had been taken.

When everyone arrived, the people had already teleported away.

All they could investigate was the back of a black-clad man left in the Monitoring Array.

The back was intentionally left by Ding Huan. If he didn't want to leave it, the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy wouldn't even know this back.

...

When Ding Huan and Ji Luo arrived at Wan Shi Immortal City again, news of the black-clad person extracting the half-divine vein from the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy had already spread here.

Ding Huan felt a secret delight, hoping these people would find Shi Keling, making him unable to cultivate wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, if he advances to an Immortal Emperor, he would definitely come to cause trouble for Ding Huan.

Because Ding Huan just impersonated Zuo Shanyi to extract the half-divine vein of the West Ruins Daoist Skill Academy, he decided to keep a low profile.

He did not conceal his cultivation but transformed his appearance into a middle-aged man running family business.

In the Great Dao Corridor, the laws are strict, so business is the most prosperous.

This aspect is completely different from other Immortal Domains.

In the Great Dao Corridor, as long as you work diligently, can't be afraid of hardship, and use your brain well, you can ultimately earn cultivation resources.

Like Ding Huan, even though he has cultivated to an Immortal Venerable, there are still many cultivators busy for the Immortal Clan.

Ding Huan first came to the largest Trading Building in Wan Shi Immortal City, the Immortal Tower.

There is a rumor in Wan Shi Immortal City, there's nothing you can't think of, only what the Immortal Tower cannot buy.

"Daoist friend wants top-grade body-shaping immortal materials?" The clerk of Immortal Tower was startled by Ding Huan's words.

In the Great Dao Corridor, the most precious immortal material is that which restores the Divine Soul, the second most precious is body-shaping immortal materials, both without market value.

"Correct, Nine-Colored Immortal Lotus, Mist Jade Immortal Fruit, or Double Leaf Immortal Reeds are all fine." Ding Huan said casually.

The clerk rolled his eyes.

If it were other body-shaping immortal materials, he had heard of them.

These few body-shaping immortal materials are legendary treasures, not only Immortal Tower, but any Trading Building would likely not have such top treasures for sale.

Generally, these treasures appear only in auctions.

Which Trading Building would place such treasures on the counter for sale?

Ding Huan raised his hand and put a Storage Bag on the counter: "Here are ten thousand high-grade Divine Crystals. If you can provide information on the whereabouts of these three items, it's yours."

Ding Huan was merely probing.

He thought that such top body-shaping treasures could only be known by the clerks of Immortal Tower.

Sure enough, the clerk's gaze fell on Ding Huan's Storage Bag, and his eyes flashed.

Ding Huan took out a Jade Bottle and placed it on the table again: "This is an Immortal Pill for advancing to Daluo Immortal. If you have information, this will also be yours."

This clerk was in the late stage of Da Yi Immortal and was at a crucial moment for advancing to Daluo Immortal.

If he had any hesitation before, seeing this Immortal Pill, he immediately said:

"Nine days later, Wan Shi Immortal City will have an auction. I heard there might be body-shaping treasures.

But this auction is an internal auction, not many know, and requires four-star or higher Daoists to participate."

Four-star or higher Daoists?

Ding Huan casually took out his Daoist Identity Plate from the ring, and to his surprise, what used to be a blank apprentice Daoist qualification plate, now showed six stars.

Meaning, he was now a six-star Daoist.

"Alright, these things are yours. Tell me how to enter this auction?" Ding Huan casually put the Daoist qualification plate back into the ring.

"The auction is in Wan Shi Immortal Hall. I must remind you the entry plates are sold out." The clerk spoke with some embarrassed regret.

Ding Huan calmly said: "Since you mentioned it, it means the entry plates can still be obtained, right?"

The clerk lowered his voice: "Yes, go to the black market and find Widow Chang. Here is the black market entrance."

The clerk handed a Jade Scroll to Ding Huan.

Ding Huan's Divine Will fell on the Jade Scroll, effortlessly breaking its restriction.

After memorizing the information inside, Ding Huan said lightly: "I've been to the black market a thousand times, if not hundreds, do I need you to tell me?"

Seeing the back of Ding Huan turning to leave, the clerk quickly gathered the items given by Ding Huan.

Earlier, he thought Ding Huan was an outsider and intended to leak that Ding Huan needed to go to the black market to buy entry plates for the auction.

Now he couldn't do it.

This is clearly a regular in Wan Shi Immortal City, and only didn't know about the recent internal auction.

Ding Huan headed straight to the black market.

The black market entrance was actually a small shop selling low-grade talismans and pills artifacts.

Inside the shop, there was a restriction locked, requiring a black market Array Talisman to unlock.

Ding Huan walked directly into the shop.

No one stopped him.

Usually, people who walked directly to the backyard were regulars and cultivators entering the black market.

At such times, asking nothing was the best.

A seven-level Immortal Restriction blocked Ding Huan's way.

A small seven-level Immortal Restriction, Ding Huan didn't even need to wield Array Flags. He vanished from the entrance with just a few moves.

Upon entering the black market, Ding Huan saw a downward staircase.

The black market wasn't a space but was built underground.

It could be seen that the black market was definitely related to the managers of the Immortal City, otherwise, it couldn't be built underground.

There were quite a few people inside the black market, but no one was noisy.

Both vendors and customers had clear goals.

The shops inside were of two types, one fixed, the other random stalls.

Widow Chang's stall was fixed and Ding Huan's Divine Will spotted it as he entered.

It was a small shop, a pretty married woman talking to a man with a covered face.

Ding Huan was not in a hurry, he stood behind the man, waiting for their trade to finish.

This woman should be the Widow Chang mentioned by the clerk.

Seeing Ding Huan approach, the man stopped talking, and took out a ring, placing it on the counter. The woman handed him a Jade Box.

"What do you need?"

After the man left with the Jade Box, Widow Chang asked Ding Huan softly.

"I need a ticket for the auction in Wan Shi Immortal Hall in nine days," said Ding Huan.

Widow Chang was slightly surprised, and after a quick look at Ding Huan, she continued:

"It isn't an auction, but an exchange meeting, in seven days, not nine."

Ding Huan was stunned; the clerk at Immortal Tower had deceived him.

Widow Chang seemed to notice his dissatisfaction and added: "The time was just adjusted. Since you have the black market Jade Talisman, you should have known."

"I didn't pay attention."

"There is still one entrance Jade Plate for the exchange meeting. I won't sell it," Widow Chang said calmly.

Ding Huan put a fiery red crystal stone on the counter: "Exchange with this."

"Fire Origin Crystal?" Widow Chang exclaimed.

Her Divine Will fell on the crystal stone.

It was indeed a Fire Origin Crystal, not pure but with a hint of origin aura...

This thing could become an auction treasure, yet it was casually brought out for exchange?

Crazy?

However, she quickly reacted, handing a Jade Plate to Ding Huan: "Deal."

"Good." Ding Huan grabbed the Jade Plate and turned to leave.

Widow Chang held the Fire Origin Crystal, her heart pounding.

Was this guy an idiot? Using such treasure to exchange for an entry plate?

Or was there a problem with the Fire Origin Crystal itself?

Widow Chang probed further with her Divine Will. No matter how she permeated it, the Fire Origin Crystal was merely mottled with impure aura, without other issues.

No way, her entry Jade Plate for the exchange meeting was traded away; she must find another.

Anyone willing to trade a Fire Origin Crystal for an entry plate surely had more treasures.

Trying to obtain few more might help her advance to Immortal Emperor.

Ding Huan didn't know Widow Chang needed the Dao Rhythm Plate for Immortal Emperor advancement; if he did, he would have given it to her without hesitation.

When he advanced to Immortal Emperor, he never planned on using the Dao Rhythm Plate.

If the Immortal Supervision Department dared to intervene during his advancement, he would eradicate it completely.

For Ding Huan, having the Immortal Supervision Department in the Great Dao Corridor was a good thing.

But the department's interference with cultivators' advancement was excessive, equating to rights infringement.

Moreover, the department encouraged attacking outside cultivators' cave mansions, which Ding Huan found repulsive.

Clearly, the department strictly controlled the cultivator ranks in the Great Dao Corridor and grasped control firmly.

This was fine, but not if they interfered with Ding Huan.
