Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

"Guo, how are you?"

Passing over the demon leader's corpse, Na'er saw that Gu'ao could barely support himself, and her heart tightened suddenly.

She dared not delay for a moment, thrusting her spear into the demon leader's chest, while simultaneously cupping her hands gently in front of her chest in a gesture of holding her heart.

In an instant, a strange turquoise light shone from her chest, and a flower bud slowly emerged. The bud itself was a gradient of turquoise, the lower half a deep turquoise like an old pine tree, the color fading towards the top, until it was almost pure white at the very top.

A gentle life force rippled outwards like waves, settling on Gu Ao and the other four. Gu Ao's pale face gradually regained its color, and the wounds inflicted on Shen Lie, Shi Jian, and the Zhao sisters from their battle with the Nightmare Demon Horse were healing at a visible speed.

"Spirit Furnace!"

Shen Lie and the other three said in unison.

Although I don't have a spirit furnace, I've never even seen one, let alone recognized it, what else could such a miraculous object be but a spirit furnace?

Gu Ao and Na'er already held a high position in their hearts, but the appearance of the Spirit Furnace still greatly shocked them.

Nar's spirit furnace is called the Praise of Life, and it ranks in the middle.

This is a spirit furnace that can absorb and release life energy. The most suitable profession for it is a priest. Using life energy in conjunction with a priest's healing magic will produce excellent results.

Gu Ao naturally wouldn't hide anything from the old man. Knowing that the Silver Dragon Spear could absorb life energy, the old man hurriedly exchanged the Life Blessing Furnace from the Priest Temple as a gift for Na'er.

At this moment, what Na'er is doing is absorbing the life energy devoured from the demon leader through the Life Praise Furnace, and then releasing it to help them heal.

Of course, with Shen Lie and the others' limited knowledge, they couldn't see the secret behind it. They simply assumed that Na'er was using the spirit furnace to heal them while using the silver dragon spear to restore her own spiritual power.

It can be said that Na'er, who possesses the Silver Dragon Lance and the Life-Praise Furnace, is equivalent to a priest as long as she has enough life energy.

Na'er held a gun in one hand and a spirit furnace in the other. The green blossoms bloomed all over the desolate Gobi Desert, adding a touch of vitality to the desert where only yellow sand could be seen.

The Life Praise Spirit Furnace evolves the skill into Life Prayer.

The evolution of the Life Praise Spirit Furnace is quite unique. It has little to do with spiritual power or cultivation level, but rather evolves by absorbing and releasing life energy.

As a transfer station for life energy, the Life Praise Furnace can benefit from it, and Na'er, who possesses the Silver Dragon Spear, is obviously not short of such opportunities, and has now completed the first evolution of the Life Praise Furnace.

Life Prayer can transform life energy into spiritual power. In other words, Na'er's Life Praise Furnace can not only heal injuries but also restore spiritual power.

However, this light of life's prayer revealed Na'er's favoritism, as it only fell upon Gu'ao.

Before long, the five were out of danger, and Gu Ao's spiritual power, which had been nearly depleted in the battle, was almost completely restored.

Post-battle debriefing has always been a habit of Gu'ao's. He at least knows roughly what level his own potential is as a knight, and is more mentally prepared for the upcoming knightly battle.

Finally, the inspector appeared, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration for Gu'ao and Na'er, and announced that everyone had passed the test.

Amy City, one of the ten main cities of the Temple Alliance, is second only to the Holy City, where the Alliance headquarters is located, in terms of prosperity.

To use a comparison, all six temples have branch temples here. Moreover, the six temples in Amy City are not called Amy Branch Temples, but the Amy Main Temple, which is second only to the main temple.

The main hall master is at least a sixth-level professional, and it's not impossible for him to be a seventh-level professional. In terms of talent, he is far superior to ordinary branch hall masters.

This is why Guou did not choose cities with main temples as stepping stones.

Amy City is a necessary stop on the way from the south to the Holy City.

This wasn't the first time Gu'ao and Na'er had come to Aimee City. In fact, they hadn't stayed in Brahma City for the entire two years; instead, they had traveled all over the country, traversing almost the entire territory of the Temple Alliance, with only a few border areas remaining untouched.

And this main city, which is closest to Burning Sky City, is a place they frequent.

Upon entering Amy City, Gu Ao told the other four people and then took Na'er and went off on his own.

In the heart of the city, besides the Amy Temple, one of the six main shrines, there is an oval building whose scale and grandeur are in no way inferior to the six main shrines.

This is the largest auction and trading venue in the Holy Temple Alliance—the Holy Alliance Auction House, established with the background of the six great temples, and only major cities like Amy City have it.

Simply put, the Alliance is the representative behind the Holy Alliance Auction House.

Upon entering the auction hall, a bustling crowd filled the air. Gu Ao skillfully led Na'er through the various sections.

As an alchemist, dealing with auction houses is essential; whether buying or selling, one needs to frequent them regularly.

Buy rare metals, magical beast crystals, and rare ores, as these are all indispensable raw materials for alchemy.

Selling unused, obsolete, or semi-finished equipment is a good option.

As soon as Gu'ao and Na'er stepped into the appraisal area, someone immediately greeted them with a big smile.

"Master Gu, it's been a long time. Why didn't you send someone to let us know you were coming to the auction?"

The visitor was a well-dressed middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses named Wenxuan, an appraiser at the auction house.

Gu Ao's connection with Wen Xuan began when Gu Ao first came to the Holy Alliance Auction House, and later the other party gradually became Gu Ao's exclusive appraiser.

Wenxuan was in charge of Gu Ao's business, and the profits from it were considerable. He was even promoted to senior appraiser because of the performance Gu Ao brought in.

How could Wenxuan not welcome such a big customer?

"Is Master Gu here today because he has some 'new works' that he wants to consign for auction?"

Gu Ao shook his head and smiled, "I did come here to send something for auction, but it's not equipment."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and a mangled horse carcass missing both legs landed on the appraisal table.

The demon commander was devoured by Na'er's silver dragon spear to heal them, but she refused to devour the life energy of the Nightmare Demon Horse no matter what.

"This is..." Wenxuan was able to become a senior appraiser not entirely because of Gu Ao, but his eyesight was certainly not lacking.

"A fifth-tier Nightmare Horse?"

"Master Wenxuan has a good eye."

Wenxuan paced back and forth around the appraisal table, carefully examining the corpse of the Nightmare Demon Horse.

"Among the demon race, the high-ranking demons are the most powerful and noble. The Nightmare Demon Horse, which is the exclusive mount of the demon race, can barely be considered a high-ranking demon. Its only drawback is the lack of magic crystals, but this does not affect its rare value."

Wenxuan couldn't wait to give his comments. In Aimei City, a major inland city, even as an auction house appraiser, he had never seen anything like it before. Finally, he gave his estimate.

"Master Gu, the estimated selling price of this Nightmare Demon Horse corpse is around 2,500 gold coins."

Gu Ao nodded slightly, indicating his approval of the price.

Having benefited from Gu Ao, Shen Lie and his companions did not participate in the distribution of spoils. He had already taken the two fifth-tier demon crystals, which he, as an alchemist, would find useful.
