Jia Nan Academy, a renowned academy for dou qi on the Dou Qi Continent, is one of the few academies outside of sects and clans.
In the Northwest Continent, Jia Nan Academy's influence is not weak. In Mo Yu's memory, the academy seems to hide several powerful experts who haven't appeared in public for a long time.
However, Mo Yu had never planned to go to Jia Nan Academy in his future plans.
After all, the academy is most famous for its cultivation methods and dou techniques, which are not particularly scarce resources for Mo Yu, who had been reborn.
Moreover, Jia Nan Academy seems to have a highly-classed heavenly flame, but with the Thunder Soul (Mysterious Thunder) in his possession, Mo Yu wasn't very interested in that either.
But now that Xiao Yu had brought it up with such a reason, Mo Yu naturally couldn't, and wouldn't, refuse.
Hearing Mo Yu's straightforward response, Xiao Yu's delicate face lit up with a joyful smile. Deep down, her acknowledgment of Mo Yu as her fiancé grew, like bamboo shoots sprouting from the ground.
After concluding the conversation, Xiao Yu gently wiped the sweat off Mo Yu's body and blushing, excused herself.
Watching her hurried departure, Mo Yu shook his head, his emotions complicated.
In his previous life, when he first transmigrated to that continent, he had a beautiful longing for sincere love between men and women. During an exploration of an ancient ruin, he met a woman who was both talented and beautiful.
At the last moment of the ruin's exploration, due to an unexpected event, they unintentionally ended up in an intimate situation, which led them to confirm their relationship.
After that, Mo Yu gave his whole heart to her, and they were inseparable, swearing eternal love.
But things never unfold according to one's will. While fleeing from a powerful enemy, Mo Yu went far away and hid for several years. When he returned, having gained immense power and slain his enemy, he discovered that the woman he loved was already in someone else's arms.
There was no dramatic betrayal or deception. When he asked why, the woman coldly replied:
"I used to like you, but now I like him more. That's all."
It was then that Mo Yu truly realized how fickle people could be.
As for Xiao Yu, Mo Yu wasn't certain if she could stay with him forever, but he didn't care. He only believed in one thing—strength!
If, in the future, he became a supreme figure, and Xiao Yu stayed loyal, he wouldn't mind giving her the respect and honor she deserved.
However, if Xiao Yu changed her heart along the way, Mo Yu would discard her without hesitation, as one discards a worn-out shoe.
With these thoughts in mind, Mo Yu cleared his head of distractions. Half an hour after Xiao Yu left, he took out five lightning-elemental magic cores from his storage ring.
Three hours later, as the sun was about to set and darkness began to fall, the youth descended from the mountain.
Upon closer inspection, the youth's aura had completely transformed.
2 Star Dou Zhe! …
The next morning, Mo Yu woke up early.
After devouring five second-tier lightning-elemental magic cores with the help of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and absorbing the energy feedback from the Thunder Soul, Mo Yu not only successfully advanced to a 2-star Dou Zhe but had also reached the peak of 2-star Dou Zhe.
Mo Yu even felt that with one or two more second-tier magic cores, he could take another step forward and break through to 3-star Dou Zhe.
Breaking through two stars in a month might seem reckless and leave his dou qi unstable in the eyes of other Dou Zhe, but Mo Yu had no such concerns.
With his current physique, even though his Heavenly Thunder Body wasn't fully matured yet, advancing two stars in a month was still within an acceptable range.
Thinking about this, Mo Yu set his sights once again on magic cores.
But before that, gold coins were indispensable for purchasing them.
Moreover, before leaving Wu Tan City, he needed to gather the remaining auxiliary materials to craft the Beast Ring and Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, both of which required a large amount of gold.
As the saying goes, "A hero is helpless without money."
Selling a Xuan-class dou technique in an auction could solve temporary needs, but it wasn't a long-term solution. Besides, doing such things for too long would surely raise suspicion. Even a large force like the Yun Lan Sect couldn't frequently offer so many Xuan-class dou techniques for auction.
Thus, Mo Yu turned to his old profession—weapon refiners.
As a weapon refiner, much like alchemists, earning money was incredibly easy.
So early in the morning, after checking his current funds, Mo Yu began a shopping spree.
This time, Mo Yu planned to forge two different weapons.
The Tiger Mouth Formation Breaker Saber and the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword.
These weapons weren't of particularly high rank, only second-tier, but they would suffice.
On the Dou Qi Continent, alchemy reigns supreme, and alchemists hold the highest status. This, in turn, has led to a scarcity of weapon refiners, making good weapons extremely rare. In remote areas like Wu Tan City, decent weapons are even harder to come by.
Therefore, even though these two weapons were only second-tier, they would still be very attractive to Dou Shi or even Da Dou Shi, and would certainly fetch a good price.
After making up his mind, Mo Yu didn't hesitate. He left his room and began purchasing materials.
The main reason Mo Yu chose these two weapons was because their materials were extremely common, and after spending half a day and 20,000 gold coins, he had collected everything he needed.
Once he had everything, Mo Yu quickly checked into a nearby inn, only to emerge an hour later.
…
Inside the treasure appraisal room of the Mite-er Auction House.
Ya Fei, the chief auctioneer of the Mite-er Auction House, was staring at the two weapons on the table with a look of surprise.
On the left was a long saber, nearly two meters long, exuding a strong energy fluctuation. The hilt was intricately carved into a tiger's mouth, and the blade bore strange dou qi inscriptions, which emitted a faint glow.
On the right was a short sword, vastly different from the saber. The sword was barely an inch long, completely black, but radiated a lethal, dangerous aura, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
"These two weapons, Tiger Mouth Formation Breaker Saber and the Dark Serpent Shadow Sword, are to be auctioned through your house," said Mo Yu, cloaked in black, his voice indifferent as he noticed Ya Fei's shock.
After refining the weapons, Mo Yu decided to bring them to the Mite-er Auction House.
After all, only in the auction house could they fetch a higher price.
Seeing the two high-quality weapons, Ya Fei's seductive lips parted slightly in surprise as she gazed at the extraordinary craftsmanship. Her ample bosom gently rose, drawing elegant curves.
As Mo Yu had predicted, due to the scarcity of weapon refiners on the Dou Qi Continent, good weapons were priceless.
Although these were only second-tier weapons, due to Mo Yu's unique refining technique, they could rival some third-tier weapons. Such weapons were a rare sight at the Mite-er Auction House, and now, two had appeared at once.
Moreover, constantly auctioning off medicinal pills, dou techniques, and cultivation methods could cause visual fatigue. Selling two fine weapons could also showcase the auction house's wealth and foundation.
Ya Fei's delicate eyebrows arched slightly as her charming eyes swept over the cloaked man in front of her. Her gaze shifted, and a blush briefly appeared in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
She quickly regained her composure, her alluring smile returning as she said teasingly, "I didn't expect, after a few months, that you'd bring us such a big business again, sir."
