Old Ghost of the Earth Demon Secures the Final Item

Old Wang secured the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill at the cost of three Dou Spirit Pills. Xiao Li also breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had gotten it; afterward, they could simply have Old Wang take it.

The many powerful figures of the Black Horn Region simultaneously turned their gazes toward the VIP Room where Old Wang and Xiao Li were. They had more or less guessed that the old man who had won the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill might be a Rank 6 Alchemist!

After all, he had produced three Dou Spirit Pills in one go. Though Dou Spirit Pills were Rank 5 Peak Pills, refining them was far too difficult without the skill of a Rank 6 Alchemist.

Even Rank 6 Alchemists did not dare guarantee that they could refine Dou Spirit Pills.

However, Old Wang's success rate in refining Dou Spirit Pills was around ninety percent. There was no special trick to it, only practice made perfect. He had refined too many of them, so naturally he was familiar with the process.

Old Wang's success rate for refining Imperial Origin Pills was roughly thirty to forty percent. If he could advance another step, he might perhaps break through to become a Rank 7 Alchemist.

At Jia Nan Academy,

"Great Elder, the Grade 7 Pill was bought by another stranger. Should we..." Wu Tianlang asked.

"Not for now. This voice and Soul Aura feel somewhat familiar. Could it be that old fellow?" Su Qian said, somewhat uncertain.

"Who?"

"An old fellow with a strange temperament, yet one who is very easy to talk to. He is a Rank 6 Alchemist. As far as this old man knows, there are only a handful of Rank 6 Alchemists across the entire Northwest Continent who would come to join in the excitement.

He is one of them. Given his temperament, he surely would not miss this auction. We will follow him later and take a look. If it really is him, then that would be excellent."

Su Qian had formed a rough guess. If he was right, that would naturally be for the best.

"Good. Since no one is competing with this Master, then the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill belongs to him! Oh, and the owner auctioning this pill has stated that no matter who successfully purchases it, they must unconditionally agree to do two things for him!"

Ye Xuan spoke up. Of course, he knew that Old Wang would most likely not agree. After all, Yao Emperor was only a Rank 6 Alchemist, and Old Wang was also a Rank 6 Alchemist. If he wanted to command the other party to do something, he would have to offer something of greater value.

Ye Xuan did not care about any of that. He only needed to sell the auction items. Once this auction ended, it would be about time for him to return to the Ye Family. He had stayed in the Black Horn Region for over a decade and recruited quite a bit of fresh blood here.

The Auction House had also earned quite a lot of money. Bringing it all back to the Ye Family at once would give the family some breathing room.

"Mm, that is about enough. Li'er, let us go. We already know about that final item. We will take the pill and leave." Old Wang rose, preparing to depart.

"Alright!"

Xiao Li rose as well. Leaving early was better. With a treasure like a Grade 7 Pill on them, there would always be deranged people who wanted to kill and rob them.

At Jia Nan Academy,

"Tianlang, let us watch the final auction item before we leave. Then we can go meet an old friend," Su Qian said with a faint smile.

"Yes!"

"Everyone, next is the final auction item of this auction, and also the final item of our Xuanye Auction House!"

Ye Xuan said with a beaming smile. This could be considered his farewell to the Black Horn Region. The Ye Family's Young Master was about to graduate from Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy. His cultivation had already reached the Dou King Level, and before long, he would be able to return to the family and begin taking over its Affairs.

Ye Xuan walked to the back and pushed out an exquisite cart. On it was a Jade Plate, and lying in the center of that Jade Plate were two earth-brown scrolls.

The scrolls overflowed with dense energy. At a glance, one could tell that they were at least Earth Rank, and the key point was that there were two of them!

"Everyone, please look. The Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Method, Thick Earth Rock Dragon Technique, along with the matching Earth Rank Low-Level Battle Skill, Stone Dragon Breaks the Sky! These are matching cultivation method and battle skill.

By cultivating such a cultivation method and battle skill, one can not only become invincible among those of the same rank, but even fight above one's level. Everyone, actions speak louder than words. This item still has no reserve price. It goes to the highest bidder!"

Ye Xuan's brief introduction of the Thick Earth Rock Dragon Technique had already left everyone in the Auction House red-faced and panting heavily! An Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Method and its matching Battle Skill! This complete set could be called priceless in the Northwest Continent!

"I bid Five Million Gold Coins and a Heaven Rank High Cultivation Method!"

"I bid Four Million Gold Coins, a complete set of Heaven Rank High Cultivation Method and matching Battle Skills!"

"My Black Emperor Sect offers two Grade 5 Pills!" Mo Tianxing was the first to speak.

"My Demon Flame Valley offers one Grade 6 Pill and a set of Heaven Rank High Cultivation Method!"

"My Tian Snake Mansion offers one Grade 6 Pill, one Grade 5 Pill, and a set of Heaven Rank High Cultivation Method!"

Competition! A naked contest of financial strength. The long-established powers of the Black Horn Region and the mighty Tian Snake Mansion of the Northwest Continent had all made their moves, leaving many Rogue Cultivators and small factions feeling utterly powerless.

Hmph!

A heavy snort rang out, making the heads of most people in the Auction House buzz.

"This old man is Earth Demon of Demon Flame Valley! This cultivation method and battle skill belong to this old man. Everyone, give this old man some face!"

Old Ghost of the Earth Demon had made his move. He was a long-established Dou Ancestor Expert of the Black Horn Region, his cultivation unfathomable. No one dared provoke him.

The local Black Horn Region faction, the Black Emperor Sect, and the rogue cultivator Old Man Ying Shan could only give up despite their deep unwillingness.

Elder Huang Xiyue of Tian Snake Mansion also wanted this Earth Rank Cultivation Method and Battle Skill, as she herself cultivated Earth Attribute Dou Qi.

However, she was no match for Old Ghost of the Earth Demon. After weighing her options, she could only give up.

In the end, this set of cultivation method and battle skill was acquired by Demon Flame Valley.

At Jia Nan Academy,

"Great Elder, why are we just letting Demon Flame Valley take that cultivation method and battle skill?" Wu Tianlang asked anxiously.

"It is nothing. If it were that Grade 7 Pill, this old man would certainly bid for it. But this cultivation method and battle skill are nothing to worry about, because Old Ghost of the Earth Demon cultivates Ice Attribute Dou Qi.

Although this set of cultivation method and battle skill is of quite a high grade, it is Earth Attribute. Old Ghost of the Earth Demon cannot cultivate it, so in the end, he can only put it on a shelf and stare at it.

Hehe, Tianlang, let us go meet an old friend. I imagine quite a few people have already set their sights on the treasures carried by this old friend of mine."

Su Qian stood and prepared to leave, with Wu Tianlang following behind him.

Elsewhere,

"Master Huang, these are the items you won. Please keep them safe." A Dou King Elder from Xuan Ye Sect carefully packed the auction items and handed them to Old Wang.

"Mm, the items are correct. Li'er, let us go." Old Wang led Xiao Li away.

This time, they had only auctioned two items: an Azure Void Fruit and the Grade 7 Pill, the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill!

"Teacher, why not take the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill right away? It would save us from unforeseen complications!" Xiao Li said.

"Hmm? You are the one who should take this. It is like gaining more than half a life. This old man does not have many years left to live, so it would be wasted on me." Old Wang refused. He had chosen to bid on the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill for his disciple.

"But..."

"Let us not talk about this for now. We should leave first. Xuan Ye Sect is no good place. There will most likely be several fights to the death afterward." Old Wang was highly experienced. At auctions like this, the items sold would always spark battles of varying scales.

"Mm."
