Chapter 198: The Nine-Palace Formation

"Uh... it's fine if you don't go back, but you must never leave here. Since I can see the seal on you, others will surely see through it too." He was a bit uneasy and admonished her.

"Hehe, I won't go out. I'll stay here with Sister Yunxi, don't worry." Looking at Yang Tian's concerned gaze, Yun'er lowered her head and smiled, a charming smile spreading across her face.

"Brother Yang, how long do you plan to stay here?" After a moment of silence, Yun'er broke the stillness and asked.

"I won't stay long, at most a few months. There are some matters I need to settle." A flicker passed through his dark eyes, a cold gleam flashing within. Yang Tian's hands clenched together.

"Brother Yang, are you going to take revenge on them?" Sensing the change in Yang Tian's expression, Yun'er's face shifted slightly, and she spoke hurriedly. Although Yang Tian was powerful, he was far from a match for so many major forces.

"Little girl, I'm not that foolish." Shaking his head slightly, Yang Tian suddenly chuckled: "The jade slip has been opened. It's a Star-tier intermediate martial skill—the Heaven-Overturning Seal!"

"Star-tier intermediate martial skill!" Hearing this, Yun'er exclaimed in surprise, a flash of delight appearing on her face. A Star-tier intermediate martial skill was among the highest in the Thundercloud Sect; she hadn't expected the jade slip to contain such an advanced technique.

"I've finished refining the artifact to conceal the seal. It can strengthen the seal hiding her constitution; just wear it on the arm."

Extremely abruptly, Yang Xiao's somewhat teasing voice slowly rang out. Before Yang Tian could react, a string of emerald-green bracelets appeared in his hand, illuminating the dim room and dyeing it entirely green.

The energy fluctuations within the bracelet were extremely powerful and dazzling, like little rivers swirling in the void, circling around Yun'er.

"Ah, so beautiful." Yun'er's gaze was instantly captivated. Her delighted eyes followed the little rivers swirling around her, a hint of brilliance spreading within them.

Under the moonlight, green waves surged, spiraling upward one after another, exquisitely beautiful. Accompanied by joyful sounds, this place seemed like a fairyland, but the fleeting splendor vanished in an instant.

"Uh..." Yang Tian's face was stunned. The emerald-green bracelet slowly faded, and when the glow completely dissipated, nine emerald-green beads remained, each crystal clear.

The extremely dazzling bracelet contained mysterious energy, emitting a precious light. Tiny crystalline glimmers flickered on the beads, very profound, like stars scattered across the sky.

"Top-grade bloodstone..." Yang Tian's throat moved. He sensed that the internal energy was extremely formidable; it was clearly refined from top-grade bloodstone, coated with a layer of top-grade jade.

"Brother Yang, it's so beautiful~~~~~~" Staring fixedly at the bracelet, Yun'er rubbed her jade-like hands together and couldn't help asking, "Whose is this?"

A hint of embarrassment rose on his face. Yang Tian grinned and smiled: "This bracelet can isolate your constitution. Put it on and see."

The moment Yang Tian's words fell, Yun'er snatched up the bracelet with lightning speed, as if afraid someone would take it from her. She then put it on her snow-white wrist just as quickly.

As soon as the bracelet was on, it suddenly burst forth with myriad emerald rays, illuminating the room once more and dye it green.

As the radiance grew stronger, a peculiar formation enveloped Yun'er's entire body.

Just as Yun'er was delighted, the formation within her body suddenly concealed itself, and the bracelet returned to normal.

"These nine beads form a Nine-Palace Formation. It is not only an offensive killing formation but also a concealment formation, mainly to block spiritual sense probing."

Touching the bracelet, a warm sensation reached her heart. Yun'er's brows curved into crescent moons. She lifted her head and said to Yang Tian with surprise, "Brother Yang, is it pretty?"

"Mm... it's nice..." Yang Tian's face showed embarrassment. He secretly complained to Yang Xiao for making a bracelet of all things, and for making such a grand entrance.

"Really?" Noticing Yang Tian's expression, Yun'er frowned slightly and asked.

"Really, how could I lie to you?" Rubbing his nose, Yang Tian quickly smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Yang." Nodding, Yun'er smiled happily. Her beautiful eyes roamed over Yang Tian's face, then she suddenly slapped her forehead and said with some annoyance, "How could I forget this? Brother Yang, I can't use these Star Condensation Pills at all. Take them."

Yang Tian was about to refuse, but found that Yun'er's figure had already disappeared. He gave a wry smile, looked at the ring in his palm, and couldn't help curling his lips.

Under the starry sky, Yang Tian stood with his hands behind his back at the door, gazing at the stars. He remained still for a moment, then sighed and walked back into the house.

Walking to the bed, Yang Tian sat cross-legged, took out the ring Yun'er had given him, and sensing the faint fragrance emanating from it, he grinned.

Opening the void ring, Yang Tian's spiritual sense swept inside. When he saw the mountain of Star Condensation Pills within, he couldn't help drawing in a cold breath.

"Nearly three hundred thousand pills. It seems this little girl has never absorbed the medicinal power." Licking his lips, Yang Tian clicked his tongue. These pills were enough for him to condense a second star, and perhaps more than enough.

His mind sank into the Ancestral Dragon Ring. Yang Tian's body remained still for a moment, then he swallowed five Star Condensation Pills. Immediately, dazzling starlight surged within him.

As the star power surged, Yang Tian closed his eyes, connected with the Tianshu Star, and frantically absorbed the star power within him. The speed of growth was dozens of times faster than before.

As strands of star power diminished, a very small amount flowed into his physical body, but the effect was minimal. His body had reached its limit; although star power could continue to temper it, the effect was too low.

In the past few days, his training had been intermittent. He took out about two hundred thousand of the remaining nearly three hundred thousand ancient pills, planning to sell them. Most of these pills were ancient pills obtained from the Yin-Yang Sect.

Now these things were of little use to him, but the selling price surprised him. One ancient pill could fetch about a hundred mid-grade blood pills at auction, leaving Yang Tian speechless.

Of the two hundred thousand ancient pills, most were bought by the Meng family, selling for a total of over four million mid-grade bloodstones. Meng Yunxi didn't dare to accept the Golden Dragon Seal artifact either; if discovered, she would be in big trouble, and not only would Yang Tian be in danger, but Yun'er might also be attacked.

Yang Tian had become wealthy, but he spent all those bloodstones in one day. Each Blood Soul Flower cost about two hundred thousand bloodstones. Most of the money went to buy these spiritual herbs, along with a large batch of third-grade spiritual herbs.

Having bought so many Blood Soul Flowers, Meng Yunxi was puzzled and couldn't guess what Yang Tian was up to. All the Blood Soul Flowers in the auction house had been bought by Yang Tian, and he had reserved some funds but still needed a few more.

During this time, Yang Tian completely immersed himself in cultivation, only coming out once when there was news about Yang Ba.
