Pooling Funds
With the six people in the Demon Suppressing Tower serving as negative examples, those with ulterior motives in the entire Black Demon City could finally put their minds at ease.
Even just glancing at the tragedies in the sky each day would involuntarily provide Zhu Zhuqing with a large amount of negative emotions called fear.
And just like that, time flew by and the last day of the auction arrived.
Because it was the first auction of Heavenly Flames, people from all the major powers in the entire Northwest Region gathered in Black Demon City.
Today is the day of the auction.
With the opening of the largest auction house in Black Demon City, countless powerful individuals poured in like fish.
Those whose strength is below that of Dou Wang don't even have the qualifications to enter.
"Young Mistress, are you really going to let me go?"
Backstage at the auction house, Xiao Yixian held a ball of Green Lotus Core Flame in her hands and spoke tremblingly, her nervousness visibly palpable.
Since she had promised to auction off the Green Lotus Core Flame, Zhu Zhuqing would certainly not go back on her word.
Moreover, how could the Northwest Continent possibly descend into chaos if the Green Lotus Core Flame wasn't released?
In just one month, by constantly absorbing Negative Energy to improve her strength, she directly raised her strength to the peak of the Nine-star Dou Zong level.
Now all she needs is a grand spectacle to seize the opportunity and break through to the Dou Zun.
If that's the case, why doesn't she release the Green Lotus Core Flame?
As for why Xiao Yixian was chosen to participate in the auction?
The main reason is that this child has almost gone crazy from cultivating, so it's good to let him relax a bit.
"Young Mistress, I... I can't do it."
Xiao Yixian was almost in tears.
There were so many people! It was so awkward!
As a shy child, the thought of auctioning off Heavenly Flames in front of so many people made her scalp tingle and she wished she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of her toes.
"No, you can do it, and Cai Lin will be with you."
Zhu Zhuqing pointed to Xiao Yixian's shoulder, a sly smile appearing on her lips. It's not so bad to bully a little girl when you have nothing else to do, is it?
"Sing!"
The Cai Lin curled up on Xiao Yixian's shoulder, and when they heard Zhu Zhuqing's words, they raised their necks and let out a proud hum.
At the same time, he looked at Xiao Yixian with disdain, as if to say, "As expected, I am the master's most favored subordinate, and you are far from being good enough."
Although most magical beasts can transform into humans at the seventh rank, there are always some exceptions.
Take Cai Lin for example. As a ninth-rank Sky Swallowing Python, its soul was too weak. In addition, it did not want to transform into a human. So even at the seventh rank, it never transformed into human form and never spoke a word of human language.
But Xiao Yixian could still hear the disdain and mockery that Cai Lin was showing towards her in that chant.
"What are you talking about? How could I be afraid? I'm just a little nervous. It's just an auction, I'll go!"
Xiao Yixian felt she had been provoked.
Especially since it came from Cai Lin's provocation.
They were all there to make a living under Zhu Zhuqing's wing, and each of them wanted to curry favor with Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing in order to undermine the other's standing with her.
Therefore, she could never show weakness in front of Cai Lin.
After saying that, Xiao Yixian stomped her foot on the ground and then angrily carried the Green Lotus Core Flame toward the auction stage.
But as soon as Xiao Yixian stepped out from behind the curtain, her expression froze, and even Cai Lin's snake body was somewhat stiff at this moment.
They'd seen crowds before, but being watched by so many people at such close range was a first for them.
Xiao Yixian and her companions were somewhat bewildered, and the audience below the stage was also taken aback.
Because they saw obvious naivety in Xiao Yixian.
This little girl is definitely no more than thirteen years old, yet she doesn't conceal her powerful aura at all.
Because she ingested a large amount of poison, even going so far as to eat poison as food, Xiao Yixian's strength broke through from the Dou Ling level to the Dou Wang level in just twenty days.
Moreover, because of her rapid breakthrough, Xiao Yixian had no control over her own aura, and her Dou Wang aura was exposed directly to the eyes of all the powerful figures.
Looking at the innocent and bewildered Xiao Yixian, and then at myself, who is now middle-aged.
Countless powerful individuals harbored the misconception that comparing themselves to others was a recipe for disaster, and that the gap between people was greater than the difference between a person and a dog.
Then, a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred involuntarily welled up in their hearts.
If a maid is this terrifying, then what being must be even more terrifying?
This generates a considerable amount of income without us even realizing it.
"Um, um, the Heavenly Flames is here. You can decide on the price yourselves."
Xiao Yixian didn't know the specific auction process either, so she just foolishly handed the Heavenly Flames forward and let it float quietly in mid-air.
They didn't even bother to give any introductions, and just let them make their bids.
Looking at the Heavenly Flames on the auction stage, no one dared to have any wicked thoughts, even though the auctioneer was only a Dou Wang.
Damn, when did they start to look down on a Dou Wang like this?
"Ten Grade Seven Spiritual Herbs plus a Earth Tier Low-Grade Battle Technique!"
Because Xiao Yixian, or rather Zhu Zhuqing, did not set a minimum price, these people naturally brought out whatever they had.
And so do these people.
They guessed that Zhu Zhuqing probably didn't want to auction anything, but rather wanted something else.
So he took out almost everything he had.
After all, given the impoverished state of the Northwest Continent, what could possibly be worth exchanging for a Heavenly Flames?
They were more inclined to believe that Zhu Zhuqing was looking for something, so they brought out anything they thought was valuable or that they didn't understand.
In an instant, all sorts of strange and unusual items were brought out by the group of powerful individuals.
There are precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants, incomplete high-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills, and even pills are the least conspicuous.
Of all these, the items Han Feng brought out were the largest and most precious.
He took out a pile of high-level pill formulas, with a large stack of seventh and eighth-grade formulas in his hand alone.
It covers almost all types of Yao Dan and prescriptions.
He even took out the Seventh-grade Pills, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, without any hesitation.
For a moment, Han Feng seemed to be the only focus of the entire auction.
After all, they could only offer something around the seventh grade at most, but Han Feng disregarded martial ethics and directly offered an eighth-grade pill formula.
One can only say that he truly lives up to his title as the Pill Emperor Han Feng.
Their foundation is indeed incredibly profound!
The Golden Silver Elders and their group were also shocked as they looked at Han Feng. They had not expected that Han Feng would have such a foundation. No wonder he could become the Pill Emperor.
"This Heavenly Flames is related to whether I can break through to the Seventh-grade Alchemist. As long as I successfully break through to the seventh grade, I guarantee that I will refine a Sect Breaking Pill for each of you in the future."
Han Feng cupped his hands in greeting to the group and said.
"Mr. Han is so magnanimous!"
The eyes of the Golden Silver Elders, lit up instantly. They didn't care about Heavenly Flames, but they had to pay attention to the Sect Breaking Pill.
There is still a significant difference between Dou Zong and Dou Huang, and the biggest difference is probably lifespan.
Although the lifespan of Dou Zong is not as endless as that of Douluo God, it is still more than twice as long as that of Dou Huang.
Given the chance to obtain the Sect Breaking Pill, they would naturally do everything in their power to help Han Feng.
"Why!"
In a corner of the auction, Gu He looked at the items in other people's hands and then at his own, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Both were sixth-grade alchemists, but compared to Han Feng, he was practically worlds apart.
But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, Han Feng has a good teacher who gave him a valuable legacy.
If he had had a good teacher, his talent and achievements might not be what they are today.
Yun Yun looked at the dejected Gu He and didn't know how to start a conversation.
Although Cloud Mist Sect was quite wealthy, she could not use it to support Gu He.
To some extent, Cloud Mist Sect owes Gu He a great deal, but it has always been Gu He has been making the sacrifices.
As more and more items were brought out, the atmosphere in the auction house gradually became more heated.
After all, some things are indeed very eye-catching, and they are easily envious just by looking at them.
Even so, no one dared to make a move; they all waited patiently for Zhu Zhuqing to make her choice.
