Yang Dingtian spent more than a million gold coins on the materials needed for the fourth, fifth, and sixth stages of the cleansing process.
As for the seventh stage of the cleansing process, Yang Dingtian would have to wait until he broke through to the Master Realm.
Furthermore, materials of that level could no longer be bought.
He would have to find a special Cleansing Demonic Pool to be able to perform the seventh and eighth stages of the cleansing process.
Most of the Cleansing Demonic Pools were formed naturally. Whether one could find one depended entirely on luck.
After buying all the materials, Yang Dingtian stayed in the auction house's VIP building. Soon, people from White Cloud City surrounded the VIP building that Yang Dingtian was staying in. All of Yang Dingtian's rooms were filled with people from White Cloud City.
Being so brazen, it was obvious that Young Lord Ye was determined to obtain the eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art.
Since they hadn't made a move yet, the auction house couldn't do anything about it.
Furthermore, White Cloud City was the second most powerful force in the Northwest Mainland Tiandō League. Of course, they wouldn't want to offend Young Lord Ye.
Yang Dingtian originally planned to disguise himself and sneak away.
This way, no one would know.
However, he soon realized that this path was completely impassable.
This was because he felt that there were at least two Martial Honorable Realm experts locking onto his aura.
This way, even if he wore a human-skinned mask and turned into another person, it would be useless.
As long as his aura was locked onto, no matter what he turned into, he would be recognized.
In an instant, Yang Dingtian was actually trapped to death here.
Furthermore, with two Martial Honorable Realm experts staring at him, he couldn't do anything.
He could only perform normal Mysterious Force Breathing Technique. He couldn't even train his mind because if they launched a mental attack at any time, Yang Dingtian's mind might shatter.
As for the cleansing of the marrow and meridians, it was even more impossible.
Cleansing of the marrow and meridians was the most dangerous thing and had the strictest requirements for the environment.
Even if there were experts guarding, they couldn't be disturbed. Even the slightest disturbance could cause one's body to explode and die.
Now, Yang Dingtian was surrounded by experts from White Cloud City. Furthermore, he didn't have anyone guarding him. If he were to cleanse his marrow and meridians now, he would be courting death.
As for the Grade 8 Devil Flame Saber Art, he could not take it out to learn it.
Learning Profound Skill Secret Manuals also had to be done in the quietest environment without any Profound Qi interference.
If Yang Dingtian were to take out the Grade Eight Devil Flame Saber Art to learn, the two Martial Honorable Realm experts would only need to slightly disturb his mind and Xuan Qi, and Yang Dingtian was guaranteed to immediately go berserk.
Therefore, the cleansing of marrow and meridians and the cultivation of Profound Skills had to be carried out in the safest environment.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian was trapped in the auction house, unable to do anything.
A day passed.
Two days passed.
Five days passed.
Yang Dingtian was burning with anxiety.
On the other side, the White Cloud City's Young Lord had already sent word that even if he went to the Northwest Qin City to propose marriage, he would send people to keep a close eye on Yang Dingtian.
He gave Yang Dingtian two choices. The first was to hand over the Grade 8 Devil Flame Saber Art unconditionally.
The second one was dead!
At this moment, Yang Dingtian truly hated the White Cloud City's Young Lord to the bone.
Yang Dingtian had seen many vicious and merciless people. Ximen Ju and Qin Huaiyu were Yang Dingtian's most vicious enemies.
However, no one was as shameless and impudent as the White Cloud City's Young Lord Ye. He was so brazen that after losing the auction, he actually wanted to kill and snatch the secret manual.
*****
Day after day passed. The two Martial Honorable Realm experts still firmly locked onto Yang Dingtian's aura.
Yang Dingtian's heart grew more and more anxious. To him, time was extremely tight.
There were only seven months left until the Martial Competition for the City Lord's position.
And Yang Dingtian was currently only a Five Star Great Mystic Martial Master.
Moreover, the most important Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame had not even been set in stone yet.
The other half of the map was in the Northwest Qin City. Originally, he was prepared to learn the second stage of the Pig Slaying Sword Art after cleansing the fourth level, and then the Grade 8 Profound Skill, Devil Flame Saber Art.
Then, he would think of a way to sneak into the Northwest Qin City.
Compared to other forces, the Northwest Qin City was not like a sect, but more like a country.
Therefore, the Qin City had been recruiting talents all these years.
If the martial artists outside had enough power, they could also obtain a high position in the Northwest Qin City.
Yang Dingtian originally planned to use Shen Lang's identity to sneak into the Northwest Qin City.
Then, he would make use of his martial strength to quickly rise in the Qin City. It would be best if he could become the confidant of Qin Huaiyu and the others.
Then, he would think of a way to obtain the other half of the map of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame.
This plan was very crazy and very dangerous!
However, it was also the only way.
Now, he was actually trapped by this bastard, Young Lord Ye, and was unable to escape.
He suspected that even if he was willing to hand over the Grade 8 Devil Flame Saber Art, Young Lord Ye would still want to kill Yang Dingtian. This was because at the auction, in front of everyone, Yang Dingtian had mercilessly slapped him in the face.
On the tenth day, Yang Dingtian decided to take the risk out of desperation. He rushed to the highest level of the auction house and used the Tiandō League's highest chant to order a Master class expert to escort him out.
It was just like when Yang Dingtian wanted to return to Cloud Heaven City in the Land of Chaos. After he found the Tiandō League's stronghold and said the chant, the other party did not hesitate to send ten experts to escort him back to Cloud Heaven City.
However, it was different this time. This was not the Land of Chaos. This was the West Prefecture City, which was almost completely under the control of the Northwest Qin Clan.
If Yang Dingtian said the Tiandō League's highest chant, he would definitely be able to escape from Young Lord Ye's clutches. However, it was obvious that he would be targeted by the Northwest Qin Clan.
Once he was targeted by the Northwest Qin Clan, they would very likely suspect Yang Dingtian's identity.
Moreover, using the identity of Shen Lang to sneak into the Northwest Qin City would be completely ruined.
There was another possibility. After Yang Dingtian said the Tiandō League's highest chant, the Northwest Qin Clan would naturally think of Yang Dingtian.
This was because the chant that Yang Dingtian knew was taught to him by Dongfang Minmie.
It was easy to make the connection.
Therefore, using the highest chant to order a Tiandō League Master class expert to escort him out was a very dangerous and even fatal method.
The consequences might even be worse than being surrounded by Young Lord Ye. Therefore, Yang Dingtian really didn't want to use this method.
Just as Yang Dingtian was hesitating if he should use this most dangerous method to escape, Su Mei, the little vixen, finally came to visit again.
"Shen Lang, do you want to escape?" Su Mei asked directly.
"Of course." Yang Dingtian didn't even pretend to be a lecherous playboy.
"Alright, follow me. I will bring you to see someone," Su Mei said. Then, she turned around and walked outside.
"See who?" Yang Dingtian frowned and asked.
"Someone who isn't afraid of White Cloud City at all," Su Mei said.
"Who exactly is it?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"The owner of this auction house is also my owner." Su Mei said, "It's up to you whether you want to follow me or not.
Of course, it's up to you whether you can escape in the end. "
After speaking, Su Mei walked out leisurely.
Yang Dingtian followed her out of the room. Instantly, the spiritual energy of the two Martial Honorable class experts followed him closely. He couldn't shake them off at all.
He followed Su Mei out of the VIP building. It was dark outside. It was already midnight.
The owner of this auction house actually asked Su Mei to look for him in the middle of the night.
After exiting the VIP building, they passed through the huge garden and arrived in front of the huge castle of the auction house.
The huge castle of the auction house in the middle of the night was completely dark. It was like a huge monster was entrenched in it. It looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
The huge castle was tens of thousands of square meters in area and tens of meters tall. Even in the technologically advanced era of Earth, it was a super building.
Pushing open the thick huge door, the sound it made was especially ear-piercing in the silent night.
After walking into the huge central hall of the auction house, he couldn't see his own hands in front of him. He could only smell Su Mei's fragrance as he walked forward.
The two Martial Honorable class experts still followed closely behind. Su Mei ignored them.
When they reached the center of the central hall, Su Mei took out a Flame Crystal and lit it up.
Instantly, a flickering flame lit up in the huge hall.
Under the flickering firelight, Su Mei also became more mysterious and enchanting.
"He's here," Su Mei said sweetly.
Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the ground.
"Let's go down," Su Mei said. Then, she walked in front and walked into the deep underground cave.
Yang Dingtian hesitated for a moment before walking down as well.
It turned out to be an underground secret room. After Yang Dingtian walked down, there was a gust of wind above his head. It was the door of the secret room that closed.
Yang Dingtian could clearly feel that the two Martial Honorable class experts had sped up and were about to catch up to him.
However, suddenly, an even stronger aura spread out. Then, a cold voice said, "You've reached my master's underground palace. Do you still dare to chase?
Hmph! "
After a cold snort.
"Pu …" The two Martial Honorable class experts from White Cloud City who were chasing Yang Dingtian spat out a mouthful of blood.
Although they were unwilling, the two Martial Honorable class experts quickly retreated.
Just a cold snort was enough to make two Martial Honorable class experts spit out blood. Even if this person wasn't at the Master level, he was very close to it.
However, he actually addressed him as' my master '.
The owner of this auction house actually had subordinates who were close to the Master level. How shocking would that person be?
*****
After Yang Dingtian entered the small underground secret room, he immediately fell down quickly.
This underground secret room was actually similar to the elevators on Earth. However, there were no elevators in this world.
To create the effect of an elevator, one had to rely completely on energy crystals. Just this elevator alone was already extremely expensive.
The 'elevator secret room' continued to descend.
Dozens of meters, hundreds of meters!
After descending for hundreds of meters, the secret room elevator finally stopped.
Then, a door opened.
"Follow me. Keep your eyes on the ground and don't look around," Su Mei said softly.
Then, Su Mei led the way in front. She lowered her head and didn't dare to breathe loudly. She also didn't dare to make any noise when she walked.
Yang Dingtian followed her forward. In the darkness, they vaguely walked through a long corridor that was about thirty meters long.
Then, they walked up a long flight of stairs that was about a hundred steps long.
Finally, they arrived in front of a thick door.
Even in the darkness, they could vaguely feel the mesmerizing light flowing through the door.
After opening the door, Su Mei said respectfully, "Master, Shen Lang is here."
