Chapter 240 - 212: Trouble Comes Knocking
After perfecting the Immortal Muscles Jade Bones Skill, Chen Li felt as if his luck had turned, with one happy event following another.
About ten days later, just as short hair began to grow on Chen Li’s head, news finally came about the Second Order fifth-level spell technique he had been longing for.
...
At an auction house.
"Second Order fifth-level attack spell technique: Sky-Shaking Skill, single target attack, can release a terrifying shock towards the target, the attack is comparable to a full-force hit from a Foundation Establishment sixth layer cultivator wielding a top-grade magic artifact; those struck often have their bones shattered and turned to mush.
One last point, although the spell technique is slow to activate and requires a longer preparation time, the attack power is great, very useful in ambushes and sneak attacks, or when coordinating with others in a group attack... The starting bid is five top-grade Spirit Stones, with each increase in bid being no less than one top-grade Spirit Stone."
Compared to the intense competition over the "Void Flight Escape Skill."
This time, the number of people calling out bids was sparse.
Eventually, Chen Li won it smoothly for the price of eight top-grade Spirit Stones.
He didn’t linger, completed the payment, swore an oath of secrecy not to divulge the information, and then quickly left the auction house.
Life in Red Pillar City was becoming ever more bustling, with a constant stream of people on the streets, bumping shoulders left and right; all kinds of cultivators speaking various dialects could be heard everywhere. At the same time, public security within the city started to deteriorate. During the day, it was still relatively peaceful, but at night, the sounds of combat often broke out.
