132: What a cruel twist of fate!

The four of them, Ying You and the others, did not answer, quietly waiting for Nangong Yu's next instructions.

Nangong Yu pondered for a moment, then said directly, "Ying You, Shadow Nether, the two of you are responsible for protecting my mother and the other five. Do not let them suffer a Divine Soul collapse or become crippled."

Having said this, Nangong Yu hesitated for a moment and added, "They must not be coerced or humiliated either!"

"Understood!"

Ying You and the other nodded.

Nangong Yu continued, "Shadow Illusion, Shadow Fiend, take people to the Saint Domain and acquire Spirit Stones, or even holy spirit marrow, through legitimate means. Have Tian Kui take a squad and continue to maintain contact with the Zhenbei Army!"

"Understood!"

Shadow Illusion and the other nodded.

Nangong Yu thought for a moment, felt there was nothing left to arrange, and waved his hand.

"Go!"

As his voice fell, the four of them vanished instantly, as if they had never appeared.

Nangong Yu did not get up. With a thought, he looked at the attribute screen in his mind.

[Item: divine enlightenment space, spirit confinement card, holy spirit marrow * 2, Top-Grade spirit marrow * 36, Advanced spirit marrow * 70...]

Over the past four years, although he spent most of his time slacking off, his cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm.

With his increased cultivation, coupled with his peerless talent, he could comprehend Concepts completely at will, and comprehending Domains was also very easy.

He had even condensed ten Law Embryos, something that could only be comprehended in the Late Stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm.

Of course, this was also because he had obtained the divine enlightenment space for free on his fifth birthday.

The divine enlightenment space allowed him to comprehend Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Techniques, Concepts, Domains, and even Laws within it!

Entering the divine enlightenment space increased his Comprehension Ability by ten thousand times; it was not difficult to quickly comprehend and condense Law Embryos.

Furthermore, Nangong Yu's Physical Body and Divine Soul were far beyond what ordinary Spirit Emperors or even Half-Saints could compare to, so he could naturally condense Law Embryos.

Unfortunately! Ever since he obtained this divine enlightenment space in the fifth year, he hadn't received anything good in the following three years!

Things like King-Grade Joyous Union Powder, Fairy Zi Xun's undergarments, or the spirit confinement card—it was simply too absurd!

That wasn't entirely correct; at least the spirit confinement card had some small use. It could forcibly confine an existence whose cultivation was not higher than his by three major Realms and make them serve him!

Once confined by the spirit confinement card, the target would obey his every command and be absolutely loyal!

Moreover, this spirit confinement card was a conceptual-level item. Regardless of Nangong Yu's cultivation, it would definitely be able to confine any existence not exceeding his own by three major Realms.

He just didn't know if he would be able to confine a Dominator Realm existence when he reached the Dao Entry Realm.

Nangong Yu did not dwell on it. With the existence of the Time-Space Merchant Guild, his cultivation was indeed much simpler.

"Hoo!"

Nangong Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air and his consciousness entered the Time-Space Merchant Guild.

He waved his hand again, and another light screen appeared before him.

[Time-Space Merchant Guild]

[Level: 5]

[Bound To: Nangong Yu]

[Merchant Guild points: 124,689.2 billion]

[Accumulated points: 249,961.25 billion]

[Note: The current level is the highest; Spirit Stones and points can be exchanged at equivalent value!]

Over these four years, Nangong Yu had resold Medicinal Pills more than a dozen times. With enough accumulated points in the Time-Space Merchant Guild, and after he broke through to the Spirit Emperor Realm, the Time-Space Merchant Guild had opened its fifth level yesterday!

Now, Dao-Grade Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Techniques, Pills, Talismans, Artifacts, Formations, Spirit Medicines, Spirit Materials, and so on, as well as Saint Grade Spiritual Roots and Dao Bodies, were all open to him in the Time-Space Merchant Guild.

In other words, as long as it could appear on the Xuanling Continent, it could be bought here!

Of course, the premise was that he had sufficient points!

For example, holy spirit marrow required one thousand trillion points, and he currently only had two.

Dao Artifacts, dao pills, and other things involving the 'Dao' had exchange prices that increased by ten or a hundred times, and all started at a hundred trillion points.

Wanting to exchange for good things was a long and arduous journey!

Of course, he didn't really need them right now; the only thing he might need was holy spirit marrow.

The current Advanced spirit marrow, or even Top-Grade spirit marrow, seemed unable to withstand his consumption. He had already gone through one batch, and the previous batch had been absorbed and shattered by the Grand Void Origin Returning Art.

This batch might not last a year either.

holy spirit marrow was durable, but unfortunately, he couldn't replace everything with it for the time being.

In addition, after the Time-Space Merchant Guild opened its fifth level, it gained a special ability.

Time-Space Merchant Guild Branch!

Nangong Yu could open a Time-Space Merchant Guild Branch for designated individuals, specifying the items they could purchase, or the items they could not purchase.

The prices of goods in the Time-Space Merchant Guild Branch were increased by 30%, and after the goods were sold, Nangong Yu would receive 30% of the points from the sale.

Additionally, things Nangong Yu wanted to sell could also be placed into the Time-Space Merchant Guild Branch; the Time-Space Merchant Guild would take a 10% commission from the sales points, and the rest would belong to Nangong Yu.

It could be said that this was an extremely good ability, and for Nangong Yu, it was quite good.

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly and muttered, "After a while, I will open a branch for my mother. However, it will be enough to just open the first four levels of Pills, Talismans, Artifacts, Formations and spirit marrow; the others are not needed for now."

"Also, perhaps I can try refining dao pills and Dao Artifacts to resell and exchange for some holy spirit marrow!"

"Forget it, I'll talk about it in two days!"

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, turned and left the Time-Space Merchant Guild, then got up and went outside the room.

"Young Master, let Qing Ling serve you for your wash!"

Seeing Nangong Yu come out, Qing Ling's eyes brightened slightly, and she quickly stepped forward and said.

"Thank you!" Although Nangong Yu was not in high spirits, he did not refuse her.

A moment later, Su Xingmeng brought over a meal, "Young Master, are we going to the Supervision Office today?"

"We are not going!"

Nangong Yu took a bite of the meal and said casually.

Looking at the meal in front of him, he suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have said that when he grew up, he would cook dishes for his mother. As it turned out, he had grown into a semi-grown youth, but his mother had temporarily left him!

The trickery of fate!

Nangong Yu shook his head slightly, not wanting to think about it anymore. He ate a little, but suddenly lost his appetite.

He waved his hand, signaling Su Xingmeng to take it away.

Su Xingmeng hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, won't you eat a little more?"

"No need!"

Nangong Yu stood up, went into the courtyard to sit down, and took out the clear moon zither, placing it on his lap.

"Zheng!"

He plucked the strings, and the zither music drifted out faintly.

But this zither music lacked its usual joy; the melodious sound held a trace of melancholy, a trace of sorrow, and a trace of loneliness.

The zither music was like a sob, as if it were recounting the melancholy and sorrow deep within Nangong Yu's heart.

The wind blew gently, and the leaves rustled, as if accompanying Nangong Yu's zither music.

Nangong Yu's fingers danced on the strings, and a trace of sorrow and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

As the zither music continued to flow, Nangong Yu's mood gradually calmed down.

As the song ended, Nangong Yu had just put away the clear moon zither when he saw two people appear in his courtyard.
