Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 249 The Soul Palace's Battle Saint Makes Another Move!

Looking at the stark white bone wings, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

If the auction items are exactly the same as those in the original work, then the auction should proceed in the same manner as the original work.

Although there were some disparities among the participants—for example, my cheap teacher's grave was already over three meters high with grass growing on it, so naturally he couldn't possibly attend the auction.

"Our second item for auction today..."

Just like in the original story, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix completed its first transaction by using an eighth-grade pill made of four-colored pill lightning. The Treasure Mountain Elder smiled calmly, and another object appeared in front of him, which was a light golden scroll.

"Diamond Glazed Body, a low-level Heaven-rank combat technique. This combat technique was created by the Glazed Saint a thousand years ago. If one cultivates it to its peak, the body will be like diamond, indestructible and indestructible. One's fist can shatter the sky and one's foot can crack the earth. It is a powerful combat technique that combines attack and defense."

"The owner of this fighting technique wants to exchange it for a low-level Heaven-rank water-based cultivation technique. Of course, it's also feasible to exchange it for pills of matching value..." Old Man Baoshan said with a smile.

Inside the main hall, quite a few people were quite interested in this scroll of fighting techniques. So, shortly after the old man Baoshan finished speaking, someone threw out a light blue scroll, which eventually landed in the old man Baoshan's hand.

"This scroll of fighting techniques is quite suitable for the sect leader."

Looking at the old man from Baoshan examining the light blue scroll, Yao Chen stroked his beard and said, "The sect leader's physique is already extremely strong. If he can obtain this kind of combat skill to enhance his strength, his power will surely increase by another level."

"It's good, but I don't have any extra Heavenly Rank Battle Techniques to exchange for it."

Lin Ran shrugged and tossed out a jade bottle: "An eighth-grade pill with six-colored pill lightning. If you can't exchange it, then forget it."

The eighth-grade pill of the Six-Colored Thunder Pill is indeed a match for this fighting technique, but the final initiative still lies with its owner.

The old man from Baoshan took the pill, examined it, and then looked up and around.

Before he could speak, two more people flicked a scroll into his hand. In less than two minutes, four scrolls appeared in the hands of the old man Baoshan, clearly indicating that four people were simultaneously interested in the Vajra Glazed Body.

Four volumes of low-level Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques, and one Grade 8 pill with six-colored pill lightning!

Such rare items, extremely uncommon in the outside world, appeared here only once, during the auction of the second item.

After receiving the four scrolls, no one else offered to help, so the old man from Baoshan unfolded the four scrolls and examined them carefully.

A moment later, the old man Baoshan slowly closed his eyes. About a minute later, he opened them again and flicked his fingers, sending all four scrolls back.

"After the selection of the combat skill's master, this transaction has been completed." As the old man Baoshan spoke, he waved his sleeve, and the dark golden combat skill scroll in front of him landed on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback, then put it into his pocket.

"Congratulations, Sect Master."

Yao Chen smiled and said that he didn't feel too much regret about wasting an eighth-grade pill that contained a six-colored pill lightning.

They came prepared this time, and the mere eighth-grade pill of the six-colored Dan Lei is really just a drop in the ocean!

"snort……"

Seeing that their chosen cultivation technique was not selected, the three of them let out a soft snort of displeasure, clearly slightly annoyed.

The elderly man from Baoshan seemed oblivious to these comments and continued with the next part of the trade fair.

The items that appeared in the auction became increasingly dazzling, ranging from fighting techniques and cultivation methods to elixirs and rare herbs, weapons and medicine cauldrons. However, each of these items, which would have caused quite a stir in the outside world, did not seem to be particularly shocking here.

Lin Ran also made several moves and acquired quite a few items.

Among them are a low-level Heaven-rank snake-type martial arts technique called "Heavenly Serpent Manual," and a poison manual called "Heavenly Nether Poison Scripture"!

The terrifying financial power displayed in those consecutive moves drew frequent glances from many people present, and even greed began to surface in the eyes of many!

In addition to the two volumes of cultivation techniques and poison manuals, Lin Ran also bought a top-tier weapon sword inlaid with an 'eighth-order magic core, Heavenly Wind Crane', which he could use to give to Yun Yun.

Since Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian already have their own, Lin Ran naturally can't leave Yun Yun out of it. Wouldn't that be showing favoritism?

Of course, Lin Ran also paid attention to Qinglin, Lüyi, Ziyan, and even Xun'er, and would take them all in once a suitable one came along.

As one rare item after another was successfully traded, the atmosphere inside the hall became much more heated. Many cloaks concealed burning gazes fixed on the old man Baoshan in the center of the hall.

"Now, we will begin the auction of the second-to-last item of this trade fair..."

Having just completed a high-priced transaction, the old man from Baoshan looked up with a radiant face, gazed at the main hall, smiled, and with a clench of his fist, a yellowed, ancient piece of parchment appeared in his hand.

The moment this ancient parchment appeared, Lin Ran and Yao Chen both raised their eyes instantly, staring intently at the ancient fragment. Their breathing under their cloaks became slightly heavier as a result.

"You're here."

Lin Ran said in a deep voice.

"Ah, but at this kind of auction, the price of this fragment of the map probably won't be too cheap..." Yao Chen said in a deep voice, "I don't know if the preparations this time are enough."

"Hehe, I definitely need to get my hands on this fragment of the Demon Flame Map, as for whether it's enough..."

Lin Ran sneered. He had prepared quite a few things for this fragment of the Demon Flame Map.

In the original story, this fragment was acquired by Lin Ran's teacher, the Three Ghosts Scorpion Demon, in exchange for an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored lightning. Now that the Three Ghosts Scorpion Demon are gone, Lin Ran is curious whether anyone can surpass his foundation.

Of course, if there really were someone with such boundless ambition competing with him...

Then we'll have to let the Northern King take it!

"Hehe, this is just a fragment of a map. There is no special energy on it. However, after our research, we have come to the final conclusion that this fragment is related to the legendary Pure Lotus Demon Flame!" The old man of Baoshan held up the ancient parchment in his hand, and as he finished speaking, almost everyone in the hall focused their attention on the ancient fragment of the map.

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the list of strange flames, is a kind of strange flame that almost only exists in legends!

It was a truly world-destroying power, as if it were no longer under human control. If anyone could obtain and control this strange fire, there would probably be only a handful of people in the entire Dou Qi Continent who could rival it.

Because it represents an ultimate destructive power!

Looking at the silent hall, the old man of Baoshan smiled. He knew the allure of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was why he had kept the fragment of a map related to it until now.

Inside the main hall, countless burning gazes were fixed on the incomplete map. The people present were no ordinary individuals, but the Pure Lotus Demon Flame remained a legendary object to them, something they had only heard of but never actually seen. Of course, this did not diminish their covetousness for it. The more powerful something is, no matter how dangerous it may be, the more greedy eyes it will attract.

Although this fragment of the map is not the real Pure Lotus Demon Flame, obtaining it would reveal some information related to the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. If one could follow the clues and manage to obtain it by chance, the benefits would be immeasurable.

"Hehe, the owner of this fragmented map wants to exchange it for some pills. Of course, the quality of the pills must be at least six-colored pill lightning or higher. As for the quantity, that's up to everyone." Old Man Baoshan smiled slightly, then scanned the entire room and said, "The bidding will now begin. Please proceed."

Inside the main hall, there were clearly many people interested in this incomplete map. Immediately, an old and hoarse voice rang out: "Three grade eight pills of six-colored pill lightning."

"Four grade eight pills of six-colored thunderbolts."

Five.

Inside the main hall, in less than two minutes, the sounds of bidding suddenly made the atmosphere heated up.

The auction price rose rapidly under the smiling gaze of the old man from Baoshan. Everyone knew that the value of a fragment of the map was far less than that, but if someone could really find the Pure Lotus Demon Flame by relying on this fragment, then these losses would be insignificant.

The continuous bidding even made Cai Lin open her rosy lips wide.

"What should we do, Sect Master? If things get this heated, I'm afraid..."

Yao Chen frowned deeply; such a heated bidding war was far beyond his expectations.

"No rush, take your time."

Lin Ran spoke calmly.

Soon, the bidding price soared rapidly amidst the shouts of those who were determined to win. In less than ten minutes, the price had reached nine Rank 8 pills of six-colored Dan Lei.

"Five Seven-Colored Thunder Pills, Grade 8."

Following the previous price, a slightly fiery, cold shout suddenly rang out.

The price was undoubtedly quite high, so the hall became quiet for a moment. All eyes followed the sound, but what they saw was still a figure completely wrapped in a black robe.

Nine.

Lin Ran spoke calmly, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.

After making a series of moves, Lin Ran's wealthy and powerful identity had already attracted the attention of many people present. However, they did not expect that Lin Ran would be able to take out so many pills to compete for these fragments of the demonic fire map!

"snort."

Upon hearing Lin Ran speak up, the person who had previously called out the bid snorted coldly, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said again, "One Rank 8 pill with Eight-Colored Thunder, plus three Rank 8 pills with Seven-Colored Thunder!"

Three.

The indifferent voice came from Lin Ran's mouth, and his extravagant and inhumane demeanor made everyone present turn their heads, and many of them even had an extremely covetous look in their eyes.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Ran was about to take the incomplete map.

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

Five!

Hearing that cold voice, Lin Ran raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

A somewhat gaunt figure was sitting cross-legged on a stone chair. The latter seemed to sense Lin Ran's gaze and suddenly turned his head. Under the cloak, his sinister gaze shot out like a sharp arrow, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly. At the same time, an extremely cold and eerie aura instantly enveloped Lin Ran.

Sensing this aura, Yao Chen's expression changed drastically, and even Lin Ran's brows furrowed deeply.

This guy...

He's a Battle Saint!

And this aura...

"I never imagined things would develop to this point."

Lin Ran murmured twice, glancing at the black-robed Dou Sheng, and sneered, "My friend, that's the legendary Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Do you really think you can take this incomplete map with just five Rank 8 Eight-Colored Pill Lightning pills?"

The room fell silent upon hearing this!

Countless gazes swept over Lin Ran and the black-robed elder. These words, spoken directly at an auction, suggested that this auction was more than just an auction!

"Lin Ran, you think that just because you're wearing this black robe, I won't know your identity?" A cold voice came from the black-robed Dou Sheng.

"What, so what if you know my identity? Is your Soul Palace planning to rob me at this auction?"

Lin Ran immediately removed his black robes, revealing his young and handsome appearance, and then loudly proclaimed, "I'll offer a Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning! I, Lin Ran, have nothing but the ability to refine pills. If you're so capable, then bid higher than me!"

They've gone mad! They've really gone mad!

Not only did he reveal his identity at the auction, but he also brought out an eighth-grade pill of the Nine-Colored Thunder!

Everyone present gasped in shock, secretly marveling at Lin Ran's madness. Many people, though their eyes burned with desire, could only suppress their greed when they thought of Lin Ran's strength and the power behind him.

However, many others shook their heads inwardly, sighing that Lin Ran was just a naive young man.

You, Lin Ran, certainly have the strength and influence, but you shouldn't be so high-profile. What if you wait until the auction ends and then bring in those with ulterior motives...?

"Sect Master, you..."

Yao Chen was also somewhat taken aback by Lin Ran's actions, and Cai Lin tightly grasped Lin Ran's hand. In response to them, Lin Ran gave them a reassuring look.

"Good, good, so it's an eighth-grade pill from the Nine-Colored Thunder Pill, right?"

The Soul Palace Battle Saint sneered repeatedly: "Friend, your incomplete Demon Flame Diagram is indeed quite good. Although the price of the Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning is good, I am willing to help you three times. Are you willing?!"

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

The intervention of a Dou Sheng level expert!

The owner of the incomplete map was also somewhat apprehensive at this moment.

This is probably not just the action of a Dou Sheng, but a threat to a Dou Sheng!

If we don't hand it over to the Soul Palace...

With a thought, the old man from Baoshan on the high platform also understood, and his eyes revealed deep amazement. He flicked his finger on the tattered ancient map, which then turned into a ray of light and flashed towards the Soul Palace Battle Saint.

"Sir, this fragment of the map is yours."

"Hehehe..."
