Chapter 59 A Premonition

"I'm afraid many of you here don't know about the third-level mind beast, the Golden-Horned White Rhino. Please allow me to explain."

"It's extremely rare, rarely seen in a century. Among the third-level mind beasts, it is one of the strongest. Its white skin has defense comparable to that of a fourth-level mind beast. The golden rhino horn on its head can also charge and launch an attack that can kill an air master."

"This golden-horned white rhino was accidentally encountered by a five-member adventuring team, all Airbenders, while deep in the Mind Beast Forest. They sacrificed one Airbender's life, another's life, and three's minor injuries before finally slaying it after many hardships."

"The golden rhino horn is as hard as a third-tier magical weapon, and as sharp as a fourth-tier magical weapon. It does not need to be processed and forged by a weapon refiner, and can be used as an ordinary third-tier magical weapon. If it is processed by a weapon refiner, there is a certain chance of refining a fourth-tier magical weapon. It can also be used as material for alchemists to refine third and fourth-tier elixirs."

"As for the third-level gold-attributed thought crystal, everyone knows about it, so I won't elaborate further. I'm auctioning both of them together. The starting price is 150,000 gold coins, and the minimum bid is no less than 10,000."

The mellow and elegant voice flowed out slowly as Madam Yue's rosy red lips opened and closed slightly, like the gurgling of water, refreshing the heart.

Upon hearing this, many guests who were unaware of this, originally had some confusion and curiosity in their eyes, which turned into surprise in an instant. This golden-horned white rhino was so rare and powerful that even a Qi Zong strongman who was comparable to a fourth-level Mind Beast had to pay a huge price to kill it.

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

Almost as Madam Yue's pleasant words fell, a slightly hoarse voice was heard, and then everyone saw that a white-haired old man in a dark red robe stood up from the middle to the right of the front row of VIP seats.

Xu Huan followed the gazes of the people in the field and looked from behind. He could not see the old man's face from the front, but only saw the white beard on his cheeks. Then he moved his gaze downward and saw that on the back of his robe, which occupied most of the back, there was an embroidered black anvil and three black hammers, as if forging something, and there was also a red sun in the middle of the black anvil.

"A third-rank, top-grade weapon refiner! This old man is actually a third-rank, top-grade weapon refiner. He must be the weapon refiner with the Qi Zong cultivation level from the Tiangong Pavilion in Wuling City. No wonder he can sit in the VIP seats." A sharp-eyed guest who knew the situation exclaimed in surprise and explained to some people who didn't know the truth.

Upon hearing this, some guests who had wanted to buy the golden rhino horn and the mind crystal to keep for their own use, or to ask someone to refine magical tools for them in the future, or to give them to the City Lord's Mansion as gifts to congratulate Xu Huan on his entry into the immortal world, all gave up their plans.

Even the Meng and Sikong families gave up their intention to bid, and Lin Youwei, as planned, left it to Xu Huan to bid.

A third-rank weapon refiner, a third-rank weapon refiner with the cultivation of Qi Zong, who stood up in person to show his determination to bid. He must want to use this auction item to refine a fourth-rank magic weapon to advance in his weapon refiner career.

Even if someone among the crowd could afford a lot of money to bid, they didn't want to offend the other party, lest they bear a grudge and stop Tiangong Pavilion from selling magic weapons to them. After all, some people had heard that the master of refining at Tiangong Pavilion was notoriously hot-tempered, and no one could guarantee that he would do anything stupid.

Xu Huan saw that no one followed up with a bid, and then shook his head secretly. Although the auction rules prohibit using status and power to pressure others, and everything depends on one's own financial resources, there are some rules that are useless in front of some people, but they are also indispensable.

"Two hundred thousand!"

After a while, when the white-haired old man was stroking his long beard with confidence, a calm and mellow middle-aged male voice came from the left side of the front row, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Xu Huan also looked in the direction of the sound, and like everyone else, his curious eyes fell precisely on a middle-aged man in a white robe who stood up. He saw that on the front and back of his robes, there was a three-legged and two-eared yellow elixir furnace embroidered. The middle wall of the furnace was decorated with intricate patterns and embedded with three red suns.

"A third-grade, top-grade alchemist! This middle-aged man, whose identity is unknown, must be from outside the city. I didn't expect him to be a third-grade, top-grade alchemist at this age, and he's expected to become a fourth-grade alchemist in the future!" The guest who had spoken earlier exclaimed again, explaining the situation. "Hiss!" Several guests gasped at the words. Wuling City hadn't had a third-grade alchemist in ten years, and this outsider was a distinguished third-grade, top-grade alchemist. His bid was likely intended to refine a fourth-grade elixir for advancement to the alchemy profession.

The white-haired old man in the front row saw the professional-grade alchemist's attire on the middle-aged man, and through his mind perception, he sensed a powerful aura that was no weaker than his own. Immediately, a few traces of fear flashed in his slightly turbid eyes, and his expression quietly changed from indifferent to solemn.

"Three hundred thousand!" The white-haired old man stroked his long beard twice and quoted the highest price he expected, intending to complete the auction in one go.

"Four hundred thousand!" Without stopping, the middle-aged man smiled faintly and uttered a price that was over a hundred thousand gold coins, obviously determined to get it.

Hearing this, the white-haired old man lowered his eyes, shook his head slightly, and then sat down to show that he gave up.

Seeing this, many people in the field secretly sighed in their hearts. Weapon refiners and alchemists are both of noble status, but in comparison, the white-haired old man obviously lacks the middle-aged man's kind of indomitable courage to advance. It seems that this is how the white-haired old man's life will be, and he will never be able to become a fourth-level weapon refiner until his death.

As for Xu Huan, he has been waiting until now but still hasn't received the Tongmai Dan that he sent for auction. He has a vague premonition in his heart that he is being fooled by Tianzhen Pavilion.

"Xianjing, have I been fooled?"

【Yes Master. 】

"Then I'll destroy Tianzhen Pavilion, is that okay?"

[It's alright, Master, please feel free to do as you please.]

After a while, seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Madam Yue blinked her eyes, gently waved her fan, and prepared to announce the result.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, another domineering middle-aged male voice sounded from the middle position, interrupting Madam Yue's actions.

"Excuse me, Madam Yue, is the last remaining item the fourth-grade Soul-Nourishing Water? And there are no other items?" Xu Huan slapped his legs heavily, slowly stood up, bowed and asked.

"That's right." Amidst the confused, contemptuous, and somewhat expectant gazes of the crowd, Madam Yue lightly tapped her delicate chin and responded elegantly.

"In that case, I will raze your Tianzhenge to the ground today!" Xu Huan raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat and shouted coldly.
