Dragon Blood Velvet Chrysanthemum, Seventh-Rank Pill: Adamantine Dragon Bone Pill

Dragon Blood Velvet Chrysanthemum, Seventh-Rank Pill: Adamantine Dragon Bone Pill

The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Otto could not help but say, "Frank, you need to think this through. That was a treasure bestowed upon you by that member of the royal family back then. If you refine it yourself, you might be able to gain control of the Azure Water Flame from it. Haven't you always lacked a special flame?"

"Yes, President. Isn't that far too valuable? What if that brat is only putting on an act? Wouldn't he be getting it for nothing?"

Lin Fei could not help speaking up as well.

Although she was somewhat afraid of Lin Ran, the fact that Frank was offering an Azure Blue Crystal right away truly made her heart ache.

That was an Azure Blue Crystal!

The Azure Blue Crystal was a treasure the royal family had bestowed upon Frank. It was said to originate from the Jia Ma Empire's legendary guardian beast, the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon.

This type of crystal contained an exceptionally special energy. So long as one could devour that power, one could gain control of the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon's exclusive beast flame—the Azure Water Flame!

To an alchemist, the value of a good flame was simply enormous. Countless alchemists spent their entire lives traveling and searching for a flame that was good enough and powerful enough.

Though the Azure Water Flame could not compare to the legendary Heavenly Flames, it was still a top-tier beast flame. It was immensely helpful to alchemists, whether in processing medicinal ingredients, refining pills, or ordinary combat, and could greatly enhance their abilities.

"Teacher, weren't you planning to use the Azure Water Flame to break through to the realm of a Fifth-Rank Alchemist? Why are you..." Xue Mei could not help asking.

"What do you know? With my talent, I have no chance of ever reaching the fifth rank in this lifetime. What use would the Azure Water Flame be? What I need is alchemy skill, not external things like these!"

Frank shook his head, his face stern.

"My mind is made up. Xue Mei... Forget it, I'll go get it myself!"

With that, Frank actually turned and walked out of the private room, heading toward the exit of the auction house. He no longer even paid attention to the fourth-rank pills he had come to auction.

Such decisiveness, such behavior, left everyone rather unable to understand him.

Only Otto stood there in a daze, his lips slightly parted. In the end, he clenched his fist and punched the air hard. "Wait for me! I'm coming too!"

The two greatest alchemists in Black Rock City had become like this because of a single sentence from a young man. Xue Mei and Lin Fei simply could not understand it.

Could that young man really be a Sixth-Rank Alchemist?!

The City Lord, a Dou Ling expert, wore an inscrutable expression, as though lost in thought.

"Everyone, the next item up for auction is also a pill. However, compared with the previous pills, this one is even more precious."

The black-robed auctioneer's voice rang out as an emerald-green pill appeared before everyone.

A rich medicinal fragrance wafted through the air, and nearly everyone in the auction house could smell its refreshing scent.

"The pill fragrance has solidified. Is this a fifth-rank pill?!"

"I heard that Black Rock Auction House prepared three fifth-rank pills for this special auction. I never expected one to appear so soon!"

"What a rich medicinal fragrance. So this is a fifth-rank pill?!"

At the appearance of a fifth-rank pill, the eyes of the crowd below instantly blazed with fervor. In particular, the descendants of the great clans and powerful factions on the second floor rubbed their hands together, practically determined to claim it.

"As you can see, solidified pill fragrance is the hallmark of a fifth-rank pill. After appraisal by Masters Otto and Frank, this pill has been identified as a Restoration Pill, a fifth-rank healing medicine." Once the fragrance had filled the auction house and stirred up the crowd's emotions, the auctioneer calmly began introducing the Restoration Pill.

"This Restoration Pill is specially used to heal extremely severe injuries. Its medicinal properties are also exceptionally mild, so it will not cause the slightest harm to an already injured body. It is an excellent pill for treating grave wounds!"

"The starting price is one million!"

"One and a half million!"

A dignified voice rang out from the second floor, abruptly silencing the entire auction house and drawing countless gazes.

The Black Rock City Lord slowly emerged from his private room. Standing imposingly, he looked down upon everyone below as if sending a clear message.

This Restoration Pill is mine!

Raising the price by five hundred thousand in one go, coupled with the City Lord's status, did indeed plunge the entire auction house into a brief silence. Many who had been interested chose to give up out of fear of the Black Rock City Lord's strength.

For a time, the entire auction house fell silent.

"As expected of the City Lord. Your generosity is truly extraordinary!"

Several seconds later, the black-robed auctioneer was the first to recover and hurriedly smiled. After calling out three times according to the rules, he finally brought down the auction hammer heavily.

This fifth-rank pill thus fell directly into the hands of the Black Rock City Lord.

"That City Lord is really too overbearing. With a bid like that, who would dare compete with him?"

Inside the private room, Xiao Yi Xian muttered in slight dissatisfaction. One and a half million was certainly a lot, but the appraisal manager had just said that this Restoration Pill could sell for as much as one million eight hundred thousand!

That meant a loss of three hundred thousand!

Lin Ran could only smile helplessly at that.

Though the Black Rock City Lord's actions were somewhat domineering, one and a half million for a Restoration Pill was still a fair price.

What made Lin Ran curious, however, was that the Black Rock City Lord did not appear to be injured. Why would he spend such a huge sum to buy this Restoration Pill?

Surely the Spirit Dou Pill would have been the better choice.

Because of the Black Rock City Lord's move, the stir caused by the Restoration Pill was short-lived. But the instant the next item was brought out, Lin Ran suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon a crimson medicinal herb resting on a small silver tray.

The herb was crimson from stem to tip, as though it had been bathed in fresh blood, and its shape resembled that of a chrysanthemum.

What was strange was that every petal of the chrysanthemum looked fluffy, like curled dragon bodies. The entire flower seemed perfectly whole, yet not a trace of fragrance escaped from it. At the tip of the central stamen glimmered a faint blood-gold radiance, both strange and noble.

"Dragon Blood Velvet Chrysanthemum..."

A hint of excitement appeared in Lin Ran's eyes.

Lin Ran's alchemy had been taught by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts, and most of the pill formulas he possessed came from the Cloud Rain Sect's collection.

As for the Cloud Rain Sect's collection, those who knew, knew.

For instance, the seventh-rank Heavenly Spirit Blood Dragon Pill, which could make up for depleted vitality and blood. This Dragon Blood Velvet Chrysanthemum was one of the three essential medicinal ingredients needed to refine the seventh-rank pill, the Adamantine Dragon Bone Pill!

The Adamantine Dragon Bone Pill was a seventh-rank pill. After consuming it, one's physical strength would increase tremendously, invigorating the limbs and allowing blood to flow through all eight meridians, enabling one to cultivate an indestructible adamantine body!

"I never expected such an unexpected windfall."

Lin Ran murmured, an interested gleam in his eyes.

Dragon Blood Velvet Chrysanthemum was quite difficult to find because the conditions for its birth were especially harsh. Not only did the medicinal herb itself need to be a highly spiritual velvet chrysanthemum, but it also needed to fuse with the blood of a dragon-type magical beast before it could be born.

Dragon-type magical beasts were almost all among the most powerful beings on this continent. It required dragon blood to happen to nourish a velvet chrysanthemum—the difficulty of that was obvious.

He already possessed a Pure Yang Physique. If he could also consume the Adamantine Dragon Bone Pill, the result would not be as simple as one plus one equaling two.

He was taking this medicinal herb!
