Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 171 Black Seal Auction House

Inside the dark cave, Lin Feng pondered for a long time before finally letting out a slow breath, no longer thinking about things that far ahead.

"After a month of continuous alchemy, although I did not specifically cultivate battle qi, I still managed to raise my battle qi level to the peak of the first-star Dou Zong realm. My next task is to reach the second-star Dou Zong realm in one fell swoop."

Lin Feng pondered the combat techniques he possessed here, clenching his fist. "Next, I must first truly integrate the Five-Round Fire Technique and the sealing formation of the Calamity Poison Body given to me by Elder Yao into the Five Elements Sealing Technique. This will be my strongest means of fighting enemies in the future, and I must take it seriously! Moreover..."

Lin Feng took out a small jade bottle from his hand and looked at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame slowly burning at the mouth of the bottle. His gaze seemed to see the Heron Protector struggling inside the bottle.

"Although my alchemy skills have always been limited to the seventh rank due to the availability of medicinal herbs, I can find some time later to absorb the soul essence of Protector Heron. Presumably, after absorbing half of Protector Heron's soul essence, my soul power will be sufficient to reach the perfection of the mortal realm."

Suddenly, Lin Feng slapped his forehead, awakened the Radiant Flame from his storage ring, and placed the small jade bottle aside.

"Elder Yao, I entrust the extraction of Protector Lu's soul essence to you. With the help of the Fallen Heart Flame, you are more suitable than me for this task."

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Yao Tianhuo slowly appeared, stroking his beard, showing great confidence in Lin Feng's request.

After discussing some details, Yaotianhuo put away the jade bottle that had been sealed by the Heron Protector and opened up another cave in the rock wall.

Seeing this, Lin Feng also went into seclusion again, striving to reach the level of a two-star Dou Zong as quickly as possible.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, energy fluctuations spread outwards from the cave where Lin Feng was located. Fortunately, Lin Feng had already set up extremely powerful barriers around each cave, which was why the group was able to cultivate together in such close proximity.

Otherwise, if someone were to encounter a situation like Lin Feng's breakthrough in cultivation, it would be a catastrophic disaster for them.

"call"

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the slightly stabilized battle qi within his body, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Finally, I've reached the second-star Dou Zong level. With the boost from five elemental Dou Qi, I'm equivalent to a high-level Earth-rank Five Elements Technique, and I have a physique as powerful as a sixth-rank magical beast. If I further improve my Five Elements Sealing Technique, I'm sure I'll be able to challenge even ordinary high-level Dou Zongs."

Lin Feng estimated his current combat strength. Of course, those who could reach the Dou Zong realm were all exceptionally talented and not to be underestimated. Lin Feng naturally wouldn't look down on others. In fact, if he encountered top geniuses from imperial clans, such as Hun Yu and Hun Feng, he might not be their match at this moment.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng slowly got up and walked out of the cave.

"Judging by the time, the auction is about to begin. Although many of the items on it are useless to me now, I must keep the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva in my own hands."

"After all, that concerns one of the most exceptional opportunities he can unlock on this entire Dou Qi Continent!"

Black Seal City is a renowned city in the Black Corner Region, and its ruler is a force to be reckoned with throughout the entire region.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Lin Feng strolled slowly down the street, but there was no one around him. Cai Lin and the others were still in seclusion, and Yao Tian Huo, after refining the soul of the Heron Protector, had already taken out half of his own Bi Huan to refine.

Of course, Lin Feng did not let go of the last opportunity of Protector Lu. When handing Protector Lu over to Yao Tianhuo, Lin Feng also asked him to extract as much information as possible about the location of the Soul Palace that Protector Lu knew. After all, if the Soul Origin was present, it would be of great help to his alchemy skills.

Lin Feng originally planned to take this opportunity to absorb it, reach the peak of the mortal realm, and then emerge from seclusion. However, plans can't keep up with changes; the auction in Black Seal City was about to begin, and Lin Feng couldn't miss this great opportunity.

Standing before the colossal structure, Lin Feng glanced up, briefly marveling at its scale, before entering directly. For Lin Feng, who had reached the Dou Zong realm, creating a building ten times larger than this would be effortless if he so desired.

Moreover, Lin Feng had indeed planned a colossal city, recalling the appearance of Beast Lord City in his mind.

"But I wonder if the rare medicinal herbs treasured by the true emperors deep within these mountains can meet my needs for refining seventh-grade pills!"

With this in mind, Lin Feng had a rough plan in mind.

Shortly after Lin Feng entered, a man in black wearing a cloak also entered the place. Of course, compared to Lin Feng's indifference, his demeanor was more like someone seeing such a huge building for the first time.

On the enormous screen, countless items participating in today's auction flashed and scrolled; of course, these were just ordinary items. The truly prized auction items were made into invitations and sent to the top powers of the Black Corner Region.

After all, only these people truly have the ability to auction off these precious items.

"Thump"

Not long after, a bell rang within the auction house, and then an old man with wings on his back slowly appeared on the high platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will be presiding over today's auction. I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently, so I hereby declare the auction officially open!"

"Thump"

After tapping the small bell beside him again, two extravagantly dressed women slowly appeared, each carrying a plate covered with a red cloth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first item in this auction is two pills that can help people advance in their cultivation level—Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills!"

"The effects of this pill are self-evident and need no explanation. Therefore, I will refrain from further words. The starting bid for the Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill is 100,000 gold coins, with each bid increasing by at least 1,000 gold coins. The auction will now begin!"

"I offer 110,000 gold coins, gentlemen, please give me face!"

"Hmph, Old Man Er Gou, who do you think you are, expecting us to give you face? I'll offer 120,000 gold coins!"

"You're utterly ungrateful, Master Liu! I hope you'll remain this arrogant after you leave this gate. I'll offer 150,000 gold coins!"

"Two hundred thousand gold coins!"

"."

"Three hundred thousand gold coins!"

"."

After a fierce competition, the two three-patterned Azure Spirit Pills were finally won by Old Man Er Gou and another mysterious person in a cloak for 900,000 gold coins. Of course, this mysterious person was not Xiao Yan.
