Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 175 Seventh Grade Elixir

Just as many fighting spirits outside the private room were speaking up, trying to seize this Earth-rank fighting skill, a familiar voice came from inside the Blood Sect's private room.

"I'll offer one million gold coins. If you all give face to my Blood Sect and consider me a friend, then you don't need to bid!"

"Hehehe, Lord Fan Ling, you're quite the show-off! Too bad, I also really want that Earth-rank combat skill! 1.2 million gold coins!"

"One and a half million gold coins!"

Clearly, besides the Blood Sect and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, there were many other top-tier forces gathered here. Before the hot-tempered Young Sect Master Fan Ling could get angry again, a bid interrupted his rage.

"Damn it! I'll offer two million gold coins. Today, my Blood Sect is determined to obtain this Earth-rank movement technique!"

The powerful forces scoffed at Fan Ling's incompetent rage. "If it weren't for that old bastard Fan only having you as his one useless son," they thought, "you wouldn't be the young sect leader." However, considering that old bastard Fan was also just a good-for-nothing, the powerful figures exchanged knowing smiles.

"Three million gold coins!"

"Five million gold coins!"

"Eight million gold coins!"

The appearance of the Earth-rank combat skill seemed to ignite the entire arena. The sounds from the various private rooms never ceased, and the prices continued to rise. It seemed that for these people, gold coins were nothing more than a string of numbers.

When the price reached eight million, the entire arena erupted in commotion. Eight million—even if a Dou Wang (Battle King) expert were to relentlessly rob within the Black Corner Region, he might not even reach eight million before being killed by an unfortunate obstacle.

"Ten million two hundred thousand!"

Finally, inside a dark and eerie private room, a middle-aged man gritted his teeth and shouted out a string of numbers!

As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone in the auction hall held their breath and dared not utter another word, truly shocked by the 10.2 million.

"Heh, I didn't expect these skeletons who profit from the dead to have so much money. I'm just afraid they'll have money to buy things but not enough to use them!"

Ultimately, this led to an unprecedentedly high price for a Earth-rank movement technique—Three Thousand Thunderclaps—which was won by someone from the Black Skull Tomb. Upon seeing this, Fan Ling's expression turned extremely ugly. He then let out a very strange laugh, as if he had thought of something amusing.

"Click."

Just as everyone was waiting for the last item to be auctioned, a sound slowly rang out from the stage. Everyone saw that metal was covering the entire auction stage. Taking this opportunity, Lin Feng slowly got up and went to Xiao Yan's private room.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, it's me!"

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, how did you know I was here?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, Xiao Yan asked blankly before realizing that for a master alchemist like Lin Feng, the auction house's facade was practically useless.

"The reason I'm here is because the item to be auctioned next has some connection to Senior Yao!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Feng remained silent no matter how Xiao Yan questioned him. Meanwhile, the old fox Yao Chen clearly kept his composure and showed no intention of questioning Lin Feng.

After the iron cage completely enveloped the auction stage, the old man, who was a Dou Wang, glanced at a certain private room in a very subtle way, and then, as if he had received some kind of hint, slowly spoke.

Yao Chen had a vague premonition of something bad, and sure enough, it came true.

"A seventh-grade elixir—the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill!"

"Damn beast!"

As soon as the old man spoke, Yao Chen's face turned extremely gloomy. Seeing this, Xiao Yan glanced at his master cautiously and then secretly asked Lin Feng for information.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, I am, after all, an outsider in this matter. Let Elder Yao speak for me personally!"

"This elixir was created by your master, and you only passed it on to one person, that wicked beast who murdered his master along with outsiders—Han Feng!"

Immediately afterwards, Yao Chen, with an extremely desolate expression, told his foolish disciple about his past. Of course, Lin Feng seemed to be daydreaming at this moment, but judging from his perked-up ears, he was clearly more serious than Xiao Yan.

"What a joke! I came here specifically to hear a story!"

As Yao Chen spoke in a desolate voice, Xiao Yan gradually learned about his master's tragic past. For the sake of a child, he had given up many confidantes, and in the end, because of a cultivation technique, he was actually killed by Han Feng, whom he regarded as his own son.

The cultivation technique in question was the Burning Flame Technique, which he was currently practicing. As for why he didn't shy away from Lin Feng's presence and directly revealed the Burning Flame Technique, it was because Lin Feng had long known of its existence and had discussed with Yao Chen the possibility of exchanging a strange flame for all of Yao Chen's knowledge of pills, but Yao Chen had refused.

Of course, let's leave these digressions aside for now, because Xiao Yan's expression was extremely angry, as if he was about to burst into flames and transform into the Flame Emperor.

"Teacher, one day I will bring that beast Han Feng to you and avenge you!"

"Little Yanzi!"

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, this is truly touching. Since that's the case, I'll tell you where that beast Han Feng is! He is none other than the renowned Medicine Emperor of the Black Corner Region, currently the number one alchemist in the Black Corner Region. He can secretly refine seventh-grade pills, but his success rate is not high, and he is a peak Dou Huang!"

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, let's go take revenge now!"

Just as the master and disciple were about to put on a touching scene, Lin Feng seemed to know nothing at all and spoke with an extremely sincere expression, as if he had really seen Xiao Yan, a nine-star great Dou Master, beat Han Feng, a peak Dou Huang.

"Um, Senior Brother Lin Feng, is this really your personality?"

Lin Feng had expected Xiao Yan to look dumbfounded, but instead, Xiao Yan seemed to have suddenly seen the light, looking at Lin Feng with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. Yao Chen, who had been looking dejected, stroked his beard and nodded slowly upon seeing Xiao Yan's expression, "This silly disciple has finally stopped being silly for once!"

What happened inside Xiao Yan's private room did not affect the outside world. At this moment, the old Dou Wang had slowly explained the origin of the seventh-grade pill, and the atmosphere in the auction house had reached its peak, even more so than when the Earth-rank Dou Technique was auctioned.

"Everyone, if you aspire to reach the Dou Zun realm, you absolutely cannot miss out on this Yin Yang Xuan Long Pill! After all, with the example of Venerable Feng before us, aren't you all tempted?"

"Knock knock knock"

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to obtain this elixir, you must perform two tasks for its creator free of charge. Now, I hereby announce that the auction for the seventh-grade elixir—the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill—has officially begun."

As the old man who had been fighting for the throne finished speaking, the arena fell silent. Even a fool would know the preciousness of this elixir, and the person who had refined it was of immense nobility. Those who wanted to work for such a person exchanged glances, a tacit understanding forming in their expressions of disdain.
