nd bowed to the people around him."Congratulations, Daoist Wang, for acquiring the Lingxu Ding at a staggering price of two million and twenty thousand. It sets a record high for this auction house, b...Following closely behind the bone-eating ape was another figure, slightly weaker in power at the fifth rank. Instead of immediately pouncing on the snow lion on the ground, he looked around suspiciously and with some caution.

Obviously, these two demonic beasts had a fair share of intelligence. However, they were still just demonic beasts. They didn't find anything unusual around them and even sniffed the Snow-Eyed Lion on the ground, but they couldn't detect any poison or abnormality. The Foodie Ape suddenly got excited. It bared its teeth and claws, eager to have a feast. Just then, countless branches shot out from the ground with a deafening roar. They were controlled by Lu Xiaoteng’s Golden Man Puppet, which burst out violently from within.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Two bone-eating apes were startled. They hadn't expected such a huge alien creature to be hiding so close, daring to interrupt their meal. The bone-eating apes instantly glared ferociously, charging towards the golden puppet from left and right.

The golden puppet's thick right leg kicked out, sending the slightly weaker Bone Eater Ape flying. The Bone Eater Ape cried out in pain, but it wasn't seriously injured. In mid-air, it flipped agilely, grabbed a thick tree branch with both hands and swung several times, relieving the golden puppet's immense force.

Another sixth-order bone-eating ape was not slow. Seeing the golden puppet's heavy sword slashing down, its extremely sharp sword made it dare not parry head-on. Its two feet slammed into the ground, and its body jumped away dozens of meters. Just as its body was still in the air, with nowhere to borrow strength, a cold blade energy came straight from behind the bone-eating ape.The sixth-order bone-eating ape felt the terrifying killing intent behind it, let out a scream, and its body seemed to be weightless. Suddenly, two grayish lights appeared under its feet, the bone-eating ape's body suddenly twisted, dodging the golden blade's sneak attack.

Though the Bone-Eater Ape's aerial evasive maneuvers were impressive, it was still airborne with no leverage to work with. It couldn't fly like a human cultivator wielding a weapon. Even human cultivators would find it incredibly difficult to maneuver nimbly in such close proximity and low altitude.

Pfft! In the startled gaze of the saber-toothed ape, the cleaving blade took advantage of its inability to dodge and severed its head in one blow.

As for the other fifth-order bone-eating ape, just thinking about escaping, a huge double-edged sword flew out from the golden puppet's hand, piercing through the back of the bone-eating ape and nailing it to a big tree. The bone-eating ape let out a shrill scream, and several responses echoed from afar.

After carefully planning for so long, I managed to ambush and kill two bone-eating apes. Unexpectedly, it still alerted the rest of the ape group in the end.

Lu Xiaotian's complexion changed slightly, his Cracking Earth Blade cleaving open the Flesh-Bone Ape's body. He extracted its demonic core, then retracted his Golden Human Puppet. His figure flashed rapidly within the tall and dense jungle before vanishing without a trace.

A while later, the towering trees swayed violently. Dozens of large and small bone-eating apes jumped from tree to tree with astonishing agility. Seeing their two dead companions, the troop instantly erupted in chaos, a cacophony of howls echoing through the forest. Some groups of two or three darted into the dense undergrowth, searching relentlessly.

Lu Xiaoteng rushed forward, occasionally frightened beasts running away. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but smile wryly. He had been careful time and time again, but he didn't expect to cause trouble like this. These monsters were also victims of the situation. No wonder the primordial spirit in the Forbidden Soul Orb said that with the demon pill of the Bone-Eater Ape, most other beasts would choose to avoid it after smelling the aura. The Bone-Eater Ape itself was already quite powerful, even quite strong. It was such a powerful beast that lived in groups and had such a heavy sense of revenge. Most beasts really couldn't afford to provoke it. Even he wouldn't have targeted these two Bone-Eater Apes if he hadn't wanted to act more smoothly in Yin Feng Valley.

I ran nearly two hundred miles at once, and only then did the howls of the monkeys behind me disappear.

These fellows were truly vengeful. Lu Xiaotian shook his head and took out one of the sixth-grade bone-devouring ape demon pills. With this, he constantly emitted the aura of a bone-devouring ape. As the inner deity within the Soul-Stealing Orb had said, those who dared to come looking for trouble were indeed drastically reduced. For the very few solitary beasts with extremely powerful strength, Lu Xiaotian tried his best to avoid them as well. Those beasts also didn't take the initiative to cause trouble. They traveled thousands of miles through Yin Feng Valley without incident.

A month later, Lu Xiaoteng appeared outside a cave filled with menacing winds. The cave was in front of a huge tomb, the inscription on the tombstone blurry and indistinguishable from its original owner. However, the intense evil spirit inside was several times stronger than outside. Lu Xiaoteng frowned involuntarily and took out the Forbidden God Bead, "You didn't say that the Yin Qi here was so heavy back then."

“This, I think since fellow cultivator can kill Chang Dahai and that black nightmare spider, your strength is already at the top among foundation-building cultivators, you should not take this bit of yin energy to heart.” The Yuanshen within the Forbidden God Pearl said a little embarrassedly.

"Come now, what kind of zombie do you want I can only do my best, once the danger exceeds my expectations, I can only retreat." Lu Xia Tian said in a deep voice.

"Alright, this tomb isn't simple. There are several types of corpses inside. If you friend can find a Foundation Establishment late-stage corpse, that would be best. If not, a mid or early stage one will do. As long as you help me become a Ghost Cultivator, after it's done, I'll tell you a shocking secret." The Yuanshen gritted his teeth and said.

"What secret" Lu Xia Tian asked.

“About the secret of extraterrestrial cultivators about to invade. I presume that a person with such extraordinary skills as yourself must also be an outstanding disciple of a prominent immortal sect. If you were to report this matter, it would undoubtedly be a meritorious deed, even deserving a reward of a golden elixir. Although you have obtained the Golden Fruit, transforming it into a golden elixir will likely be quite difficult.”

"Alright, then I'll go in and take a look. But let me be clear, if things get out of hand, don't blame me for breaking my word. You can only blame your unreliable information. Of course, if things aren't too bad, helping you subdue a fifth or sixth-grade Yin Corpse isn't impossible." Lu Xia tian's heart moved. Although he wasn't very interested in making great achievements, knowing about the invasion of extraterritorial cultivators would be very helpful for him to avoid danger later on. It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to learn some inside information from the soul within the Soul-binding Orb, considering that the cultivator he killed, Chang Hai Da, had colluded with the Tian Lang Sect cultivators. As for the other party's claim that it was difficult to turn the Jinjin Fruit into a Golden Core Pill, he could only smile and dismiss it.

"Of course, fellow cultivator, you have already done your utmost. If it were someone more heartless, they would have long since broken the bridge after crossing it." Yuanshen said with a touch of emotion in his voice.

As for the flatteries about his divine soul, Lu Xiaotian smiled and didn't take them to heart. He kept a close eye on his surroundings. Besides his own yin qi, there were also traces of fighting outside the cave. There were several shallow sword and knife marks. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown. Judging from the sword and knife marks on the stones, their strength wasn't high, even equivalent to the cultivation level of a Qi Refinement cultivator. But how could a Qi Refinement cultivator, even a ghost cultivator, successfully reach here Or was it that there were other ghost cultivators within this tomb
