Su Yueli pondered for a moment, clear about her current situation.
She had thoroughly offended the Cangyun Sect during this auction.
The Mountain-Shaking Heaven-Shattering Force manual and the three Divine Vitality Blood-Generating Pills were items meant for martial artists. They were useless to cultivators, so they wouldn't necessarily bring disaster upon her.
However, this True Spirit Dharma-Image Jade Fragment alone involved the true intent of a great divine ability above the Tenth Realm.
The people of the Cangyun Sect would absolutely not let this go.
The other party had strength in numbers, and the withered old man sitting at the very front was a terrifying expert who was at least at the Seventh Realm of the immortal path, if not higher.
If she swaggered out right now, she would undoubtedly be walking straight into a trap.
The rules of the Wanbao Merchant House only prevented robbery within the merchant house itself. Once the guests stepped out of its doors, the merchant house would absolutely not interfere, even if they fought to the death.
“I need to lie low here first and convert the resources on hand into strength.”
Su Yueli's mind spun as she planned to linger in this VIP room for a few days to attempt a breakthrough.
The young maid standing to the side seemed to sense Su Yueli's hesitation. She bowed slightly and politely reminded her, “Honored guest, according to the merchant house's rules, after the auction ends, the VIP rooms can only be provided for guests to rest and recuperate for a maximum of three days free of charge. After three days, the protective spiritual array will automatically shut down. We hope for your understanding.”
A maximum of three days...
Su Yueli sighed helplessly and nodded in understanding.
A business opened for profit indeed could not allow people to stay here indefinitely as a sanctuary.
However, three days were enough for her to give it her all.
Su Yueli locked the door behind her, walked over to the soft couch, and sat down cross-legged.
Taking a deep breath, she pulled out the white jade box containing the Divine Vitality Blood-Generating Pills from her storage bag.
Looking at the three divine pills flowing with blood-red lightning inside the box, a ruthless look flashed in Su Yueli's eyes. She grabbed them and swallowed them all at once.
Boom!
The moment the pills entered her stomach, a terrifying, violent surge of blood qi suddenly exploded within her limbs and bones.
As expected of divine pills refined from the essence blood of a peak Eighth Realm wild demon beast, the energy within them was incredibly overbearing.
Su Yueli felt as if her body had turned into an erupting volcano. Her skin instantly turned bloated and flushed red, and dense beads of blood even began to seep out of her pores.
“Ugh...”
Su Yueli fell silent for a moment. She seemed to have been a bit too hasty. Taking all three at once wouldn't cause her body to explode, would it?
Feeling the blood qi inside her growing increasingly violent, her gaze turned fierce. She had no other choice.
“Suppress it for me!”
She growled in her heart. The Ji Dao fist force within her body circulated frantically, beginning to forcefully refine this massive medicinal power.
Her consciousness once again sank into that boundless mist of cultivation realms.
This time, with the terrifying energy of the three Eighth Realm divine pills to replenish her, Su Yueli walked extremely far into the mist.
Then, she threw punches frantically within the mist, trying to find the crucial anchor point to break through to the Eleventh Realm.
Without knowing how much time had passed, deep within the dense, widespread mist, Su Yueli caught a vague glimpse of a faint light.
It felt like an anchor point where she could deposit her blood qi, but upon closer inspection, it seemed somewhat ethereal and illusory, not like a true end point.
Knock, knock, knock.
A somewhat muffled knocking sound suddenly rang out, pulling Su Yueli back from that profound, mystical state of cultivation.
The maid's somewhat timid voice came from outside the door: “Honored guest, the three-day time limit has reached. The protective spiritual array on the second floor is about to shut down. Please make your way out.”
“Phew—”
Su Yueli opened her eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. As it was released into the air, it actually carried the faint sound of rumbling thunder.
“Cultivation truly knows no time. To think three days have passed just like that.” Su Yueli rubbed her temples and stood up, feeling somewhat emotional.
She calmly replied to the door, “Understood. I will leave now.”
Once the maid's footsteps faded into the distance, Su Yueli stood in place and clenched her fists tightly.
Crack, crack.
The bones throughout her body let out a series of crisp pops like roasting beans, and the blood qi inside her surged like a vast sea.
Although she still had not completely found that stable anchor point and did not know if she had truly stepped into the Eleventh Realm, her strength was indeed far greater than it was three days ago.
Moreover, she had already grasped a vague feeling of how to tear through this mist.
“Since the martial path has had no name for the Eleventh Realm for thousands of years, from this day forth, I shall define this realm as... Delusion Breaker!”
Tear open the mist to see the truth and shatter the delusions.
Su Yueli's gaze was resolute. Putting away her stray thoughts, she pulled out the loose black hooded robe from her storage bag once again and wrapped herself in it.
Pulling down her hood, she walked out of the Wanbao Merchant House through the VIP passage.
The streets outside were bustling with heavy traffic and noise, appearing no different from three days ago.
However, the Ji Dao blood qi within Su Yueli's body was tingling slightly. A martial artist's intuition told her that beneath the surface of this bustling street, countless greedy eyes were currently hiding in the shadows.
The people of the Cangyun Sect were absolutely still keeping a close watch on every exit of the Wanbao Merchant House, only showing some restraint because they were still inside the city.
At this thought, Su Yueli's expression remained calm as she blended into the crowd, taking detours through the city's alleyways and lanes.
After crossing over a dozen intricate streets in succession, her figure flashed, and she arrived at a secluded spot. She tore off the black robe from her body and stuffed it back into her storage bag.
When she first left the merchant house, she had to wear the black robe for cover.
But now that she was preparing to leave the city, if she continued to wander the streets in this highly conspicuous black robe, it would be as obvious as a louse on a bald head—clearly telling the Cangyun Sect, “I am the sucker from Room Eight.”
In this grand city of cultivators, no one would wrap themselves in a black robe all day for no reason; it was simply too eye-catching.
Su Yueli smoothed out her original blue-and-white dress and casually tied up her long black hair.
Now, she looked just like any ordinary noble lady in the city.
After confirming that there wasn't a single trace of the black robe left on her body, Su Yueli finally stepped out of the empty house and followed the flow of people toward the gates of Tianyuan City.
