56: Chapter 56 King-Level Cultivation Technique

On the front page of the cultivation art, three large characters were written: "Blazing Phoenix Art".

Something that Chi Anlin couldn't use Appraisal on must be at least Mystic-Grade!

The breathing of the people around him grew heavy, and Chi Anlin, realizing the gravity of the situation, immediately took out his phone to call Chi Xueyue.

"Little brother, I'll buy this cultivation art for ten thousand first-grade spirit stones!" a pot-bellied Second Realm Qi Cultivator said; having noticed the storage ring on Chi Anlin, he didn't dare to use threats for the moment.

"Ten thousand first-grade spirit stones? Who are you calling a fool? Little brother, don't listen to him. I'll give you two thousand second-grade spirit stones!" another Second Realm Body Cultivator said. On his back was a large saber that emitted waves of spiritual energy.

Hearing these words, Wang Ming's eyes turned red. These two were both family-backed cultivators, unlike a rogue cultivator like him.

Having only recently entered the Second Realm, he couldn't even produce ten thousand first-grade spirit stones.

"The Hu Family wants this cultivation art!" a luxuriously dressed Third Realm Cultivator said. He released a faint pressure that bore down on Chi Anlin. "Three thousand second-grade spirit stones, give this cultivation art to me."

Chi Anlin raised an eyebrow. Even in his past life, so-called capital would often appear in private dealings. He knew that no matter where one was, there would always be a dark side.

Much less in this cultivation world.

Without power or influence, coming to a place like this was simply seeking death.

With a thought, Chi Anlin directly stored the Blazing Phoenix Art into his space ring. If this thing were snatched away, even Chi Xueyue would have a hard time recovering it.

"You!" Anger appeared on Hu Yi's face. He saw the storage ring on Chi Anlin's hand and knew that Chi Anlin might have an extraordinary background. However, he had heard of this cultivation art in ancient texts; it was a King-Grade cultivation art. If he could obtain it, even if he offended the people behind Chi Anlin, his family would protect him.

Chi Anlin felt the pressure emanating from this guy and suddenly smiled. "I don't know much about trading, so naturally, I have to consult my sister at the Military University. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait a bit."

He had to stabilize the guy's emotions first to prevent him from suddenly turning violent and killing him.

Although the laws of China were very strict, this was ultimately a world where the strong had the final say, and many high-realm cultivators possessed the right to kill.

Hu Yi was stunned. He knew the heirs of the major families, which was why he had the confidence to pressure Chi Anlin. But if Chi Anlin's sister was from the Military University, that would be problematic.

Graduates from the Military University would all enter the Great Xia Army, which was the official external deterrent force. Therefore, the Military University was extremely serious about handling matters involving its students. If they found out he had forcibly taken something from a Military University student's relative...

Chi Anlin thought about it and didn't state Chi Xueyue's name. Although his sister had already reached the peak of the Third Realm, she was still the strongest member of the Chi Family, which was still a bit inferior compared to the average major family.

Calling Chi Xueyue, Chi Anlin thought for a moment and spoke first. "Sister Xueyue, I just got a cultivation art from stone gambling. Someone from the Lin City Hu Family here says they want to buy it for three thousand second-grade spirit stones..."

On the other side, Chi Xueyue, who had picked up the phone, was about to impatiently ask Chi Anlin what he wanted. After hearing this, she was silent for a moment before saying, "The cultivation art the family gave you is enough for you to reach a higher realm. This art can be sold, but it's not something the Hu Family can afford. Wait there for a while. I happen to have a few friends in Lin City; I'll have them take a look for you."

As Chi Xueyue spoke, she ran toward her teacher's residence.

Since ancient times, cultivation arts were rarely found in stone gambling. Unless the material of the art itself was very special, it was difficult for them to be preserved.

And such cultivation arts were mostly Heaven-Grade or above, making them extremely precious.

Chi Anlin calling her meant he was likely being threatened.

Cultivators had excellent hearing and could hear the voice from the phone even from far away, so Chi Xueyue's words were intended to intimidate those people.

Sprinting with all her might, she soon arrived at her mentor's doorstep. Chi Xueyue didn't even knock and burst straight inside.

"Teacher!"

Inside the room, an extremely charming woman was lying on the sofa. On her face, which bore no makeup, a pair of phoenix eyes revealed a misty radiance.

Seeing Chi Xueyue burst through the door, she smiled and said nonchalantly, "Little Xue, what's happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Even before Chi Xueyue reached the door, she had already sensed her presence, so she wasn't surprised.

Chi Xueyue didn't waste any time and quickly explained the whole situation.

She didn't have any friends in Lin City; enemies she had beaten up were more like it.

The woman smiled after hearing this. "What a lucky little guy. I've got it. Let me give Qi Zhan a call."

Qi Zhan was the protector of Lin City. In this world, high-ranking officials were all high-realm cultivators; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control those beneath them.

Hearing her teacher's words, Chi Xueyue breathed a sigh of relief. This way, Chi Anlin's safety was guaranteed.

But that guy, instead of cultivating properly at home, why did he run off to gamble on stones? Where did he get the money?

She would definitely make him explain himself later. She had left in a hurry this time and hadn't had the chance to properly understand what he was up to.

——————

At the Jinyuan Chamber of Commerce, several Third Realm Body Cultivators walked up to Chi Anlin.

These people were guards hired by the Jinyuan Chamber of Commerce. It was as if they had received some kind of notification. Chi Anlin also noticed the emblems on their chests; he frowned and looked at Hu Yi.

Hu Yi's phone rang, and his expression changed, while Chi Anlin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed these people had received his sister's notification and come over. If Chi Anlin hadn't seen Hu Yi pick up the phone, he might have thought these insiders were coming to seize him.

After finishing the call, Hu Yi glanced at Chi Anlin and slunk away. The others around who were waiting for an opportunity also suppressed their thoughts; this guy's background was likely even greater than they had imagined.

"Young master, if you wish to sell the cultivation art, you might consider the Jinyuan Chamber of Commerce. We will definitely give you the most fair price," a crew-cut guard said with a smile, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. It was one thing for this person to have a great background, but to have such good luck as well was truly enviable.

Before long, a man with a majestic expression arrived, floating in the air. Chi Anlin was stunned; his sister actually had such a connection.

Floating was the hallmark of a Fifth Realm cultivator.

He didn't know exactly what realm the man before him was.

"Tiger War King!" The expressions of the people around changed as they bowed and spoke.

King-Grade? Chi Anlin's eyes lit up; he knew about this—the title of Lin City's protector was the Tiger War King.

Chi Anlin was about to speak when his expression changed drastically—the Ant Queen had broken through!

A massive surge of energy flooded into his body, like a raging dragon, shattering his meridians.

Qi Zhan frowned, as if he had sensed something, and looked toward Chi Anlin.
