Sixth-Tier Beast Flame!

The sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and now he thought he was invincible again? Having obtained an Earth Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique, Jia Xingtian was feeling a little buoyant. After some thought, Chen Guan decided not to dampen his enthusiasm.

Besides, he was not sure when Yun Shan had begun contacting those Jie Jie Jies in order to break through to Dou Zong.

"We'll see when the time comes."

"By the way, Elder Jia, there's something else today. I'd like to ask for a portion of the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon's Beast Flame."

Though he said it to Jia Xingtian, Chen Guan's gaze was fixed on the small lake before them.

With his Mortal Realm Peak soul power, he could clearly sense a tyrannical force hidden beneath the lake. It fluctuated between strong and weak, and its condition was unstable.

There was no need to think about it. This was the Jiama Imperial Family's guardian beast, the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon. He had come to the Back Mountain many times, yet he had never seen what this guardian beast looked like.

"You need it now?" Jia Xingtian asked.

"Tomorrow. In the afternoon, I'll go to the Alchemist Guild to retrieve the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Taking a sip beforehand will make it safer."

"Haha, there's no need to go through all that trouble. With us here, refining a Beast Flame won't be difficult for you. Of course, you'll still suffer a little."

Jia Xingtian shook his head and laughed. At last, he had found a sliver of superiority in front of this kid.

Having an overly outstanding junior was both a blessing and a headache. Usually, he could not feel the grandeur of being a Dou Emperor Expert at all. Today, he had finally caught an opportunity to show off.

"The Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon fought alongside our imperial family for many years and sustained too many old injuries. Its condition is very poor now. If it fought with all its strength, its injuries would flare up after just a few battles, and it would be finished. Most of its time is now spent sleeping, slowing the spread of its injuries."

"If its condition had allowed it to keep fighting, the Misty Cloud Sect alone would never have become such a grave threat to our imperial family."

Jia Xingtian spoke of the guardian beast's condition with a sigh.

Chen Guan nodded to show that he understood.

In truth, he had known this long ago.

Not only that, he also knew that the imperial family had already found a way to remove the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon's old injuries.

A Sixth Grade Middle Grade pill—the Primordial Bone Sculpting Pill!

Moreover, they had already prepared the medicinal ingredients. What they lacked was a Sixth Grade Middle Grade Alchemist.

There was no need to mention Gu He here. Leaving aside the opposing stances of the Misty Cloud Sect and the imperial family, although Gu He was a Sixth Grade Alchemist, he had only advanced a few years ago and had not been one for long.

Even among Sixth Grade Alchemists, the gap between a newcomer and a veteran Sixth Grade Alchemist who had immersed himself in the craft for countless years was enormous. At Gu He's current level, handing the ingredients to him would most likely be a waste.

"Old Fellow, wake up for a moment."

As Jia Xingtian called out with Dou Qi mixed into his voice, the lake's surface began to churn violently, like water boiling in a pot.

Before long, an enormous serpent-like magical beast appeared in Chen Guan's sight.

Chen Guan studied it. This was his first time seeing a sixth-tier magical beast. Though it did not deliberately release its aura and was badly injured, the pressure it gave him was still considerable, like standing beneath a slanted wall.

The Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon was also studying this Young Man. Whenever it occasionally woke before, Jia Xingtian had mentioned him quite often.

Now that it saw him in person, he truly surpassed everyone it had ever met.

"Old man, why did you wake me? I can't act freely right now. Unless it's the final battle, don't call me."

The Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon spoke in a booming voice, somewhat displeased.

Jia Xingtian did not beat around the bush and immediately explained that Chen Guan needed Beast Flame.

"You're an alchemist?" the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon asked, looking at the Young Man.

A high-tier Beast Flame was quite valuable. Whether used for alchemy or puppet refining, it could be of considerable use.

It could even enhance one's combat strength, since it was also a means of battle.

Chen Guan nodded. An alchemist? It was easy enough. He could be one.

"I also know of a highly ranked alchemist in the empire. Give me some time, Senior, and I should be able to have him refine some pills to heal your old injuries."

"Can he refine Sixth Grade Middle Grade pills?"

Jia Xingtian was even more excited than the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon. He did not ask who that person was either, saving Chen Guan the trouble of explaining.

"He can!"

"Hahaha, good! Little Chen, to be honest—"

After talking for a long time, Jia Xingtian finally gave him three sets of ingredients for refining the Primordial Bone Sculpting Pill, along with the pill formula.

Feeling that recovery was finally within reach, the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon, which had still been a little grumpy from being awakened, was delighted as well and very satisfied with the outcome.

With the atmosphere so harmonious, the matter of the Beast Flame became simple.

With Jia Xingtian and the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon personally assisting him, Chen Guan did not even feel much pain and refined it successfully with ease.

He spread open his palm, and a bloom of Ink-Blue Flame rose within it, crackling fiercely. Even from far away, one could feel the violent heat it radiated.

Combat methods +1.

After thanking Jia Xingtian and the Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon, Chen Guan left in high spirits.

There was no need to rush the matter of the Primordial Bone Sculpting Pill. He only needed to keep it in mind for now. He would bring it up once he was ready to meet Xiao Huohuo and his master.

The Abyssal Sea Flood Dragon was comparable to an eight-star Dou Emperor. Once its old injuries were removed, it would be no small source of support.

Mitel Auction House.

The lavishly decorated hall revealed two words everywhere: rich. That was Chen Guan's first impression upon arriving.

The spacious hall was already packed with people. Heads bobbed everywhere amid a roaring clamor, making the Auction House seem incomparably lively and bustling.

As for how many of them had sincerely come to bid, no one knew. At any rate, on his way in, Chen Guan heard no fewer lewd remarks than those described in the Original Work's Wutan City.

Perverts were everywhere! Chen Guan entered halfway through the auction. It did not quite follow the rules, but the Mitel Auction House was a place for making money. With gold coins clearing the way, the rules were like a whore—anyone could trample them.

He chose a spot near the back and stood there, turning his gaze toward the Young Girl in a cheongsam on the stage. Though she was not very old, she was exceptionally seductive and graceful. With just a few words, she could always sell each item for a better price.

Ya Fei!

She was really too good at this!

Knowing how to use one's own advantages was also a kind of wisdom. If this woman had been born in his hometown, she would definitely have been the type of powerful businesswoman who navigated the corporate world with ease.

What a pity. Born into a world like the Dou Qi Continent, lacking cultivation talent meant she was destined to have difficulty stepping onto a larger stage.

"The next auction item is a fragment of a map. I'm sure everyone has heard that a year ago, the Jiama Imperial Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, the Mite'er Family, and others jointly explored the Magical Beast Mountain Range and discovered a Strong Cultivator's Cave Mansion. This map fragment was obtained there by our Mite'er Family. After being appraised by our patriarch and elders, this map may very well concern an incomparable secret. If our Mite'er Family were not primarily engaged in commerce, we would never bear to put it up for auction—"

"Miss Ya Fei, hurry up and bring out the next item. Your Auction House said the same thing the day before yesterday."

"I remember some idiot bought this map the day before yesterday. What, he couldn't figure it out, so he brought it back to sell again?"

Bang! The sound of a fist smashing into a face.

"Why did you hit me?"

"I'm the idiot you were talking about!"
