Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 266 - 266 266 Powerful Auction Lineup

266: Chapter 266: Powerful Auction Lineup 266: Chapter 266: Powerful Auction Lineup Although the first-floor auction hall was spacious, there were only nine VIP rooms on the second floor, and Long Yan was in VIP Room Three.

After taking a look at the hall, Long Yan released his Divine Sense to probe the other eight VIP rooms.

The Five Great Powers and Wanyao Valley each occupied a VIP room, with Long Yan’s attention mainly focused on the last two VIP rooms.

“Hm?”

As Long Yan’s Divine Sense swept past Room No.

8, he sensed a familiar aura.

“Ming Jiu, I knew you would come!”

The occupant of Room No.

8 was indeed Ming Jiu.

Long Yan had always been suspicious of Ming Jiu, especially after entering the Five Emperor Tombs.

He became even more suspicious.

Ming Jiu was extremely mysterious, and up until now, he was the only person Long Yan couldn’t see through.

Moreover, Long Yan had an inkling that Ming Jiu seemed to be secretly planning something.

Ming Jiu’s visit to Lanling City and obtaining a VIP room this time were probably not simple matters.

Inside Room No.

8, Ming Jiu also detected Long Yan’s Divine Sense.

His eyes slightly opened and then closed the next moment.

Then, Long Yan’s Divine Sense swept towards the last VIP room.

In VIP Room Nine, there was only one person.

An invisible force was blocking Long Yan’s Divine Sense.

That force was incredibly powerful, and even with Long Yan’s Divine Sense, he couldn’t shake it.

Without a doubt, the person inside Room No.

9 was a super-strong expert, at least a Martial Venerable.

“It seems this auction is not going to be a simple affair.”

Long Yan withdrew his Divine Sense, muttering in his heart.

Time continued to pass, and more and more people arrived at the auction scene.

An hour later, the number of people had exceeded 150,000, causing the auction hall to become crowded.

“Dong!”

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out, echoing in the spacious building.

Instantly, the noisy auction venue quieted down.

The auction began!

At this moment, Lu Xuanming strode into the hall, then stepped onto the auction stage.

Behind him, forty Martial Kings followed, guarding the four corners of the auction stage.

Forty Martial Kings.

Such an auction lineup was absolutely formidable, showcasing the depth and power of Lanling City.

Lu Xuanming’s gaze swept across the audience, and he immediately declared loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I will personally host this auction.

Compared to previous auctions, there are more treasures this time, and I will not disappoint.

I hope everyone leaves satisfied!”

“He’s actually hosting the auction personally.

It seems this auction is indeed not a simple affair.”

Long Yan’s eyebrows raised slightly, looking forward to the items up for auction.

“I won’t say much about the rules of the auction.

The bids for this auction are based on Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Let the auction begin!”

After some pleasantries, Lu Xuanming took out a jade slip from his Storage Ring, saying, “The first item up for auction is a Profound High-grade Combat Skill called Cold Ice Cotton Palm.

I won’t say much about the value of a Profound High-grade Combat Skill; the starting bid is 100,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“110,000!”

“130,000!”

“…”

Just as Lu Xuanming finished speaking, bids were raised one after another, with each wave following the previous one.

“A Profound High-grade Combat Skill, damn, I’ll bid 300,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!”

In the hall, a Martial King bellowed.

However, his voice had just fallen when someone outbid him.

In the Shenwu Continent, only the Five Great Powers have Earth Order Battle Skills, while Profound High-grade Combat Skills are already extremely rare, with many Martial Kings not having the chance to practice them.

“Boss, should we increase the price?”

Fat Cat was eager to try and asked Long Yan.

“No need, we’re not short of Combat Skills, and this is just the beginning, the good stuff is still to come.”

Profound High-grade Combat Skills were indeed good, but they were not very useful to Long Yan, and Lingxi and the others were not short of Combat Skills either.

Moreover, he had obtained quite a few Combat Skills from the Qing Emperor Dojo and didn’t have time to cultivate them yet.

After an intense competition, the Cold Ice Cotton Palm was finally sold for 1.3 million Medium Grade Spirit Stones by a Third Level Martial King.

The value of a Profound High-grade Combat Skill was at most 800,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which was a full 500,000 more than the auction’s fiery atmosphere.

At this time, everyone’s enthusiasm was high, and with the first auction item being a Profound High-grade Combat Skill, there were bound to be more treasures coming up next.

Following that, Lu Xuanming successively took out several auction items one by one.

Although they were not as extraordinary as the Cold Ice Cotton Palm, they still attracted a lot of competition and sold at high prices.

During this time, several auction items pushed the auction to the climax.

Unknowingly, four Time Units had passed, more than a hundred auction items had been auctioned off, and it had always been the people in the hall competing, with no one speaking out from the VIP rooms.

“Boss, when will we start bidding?

It’s killing me!”

Inside VIP Room Three, Fat Cat paced back and forth, itching to join the intense bidding below.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the auction items you have just seen were just appetizers.

The next item up for auction is a real treasure.

Please take a look!”

Lu Xuanming took out a jade box, opened it, and a fist-sized blood crystal appeared in front of everyone.

“Hmm?”

Long Yan looked at the blood crystal and said to Fat Cat, “I want this thing.”

“Alright, leave it to Tiger Lord.”

Hearing this, Fat Cat instantly became excited, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared for a big fight.

At this moment, Lu Xuanming’s voice sounded, “Everyone knows about Demonic Blood Essence.

This auction item is a Demonic Blood Essence, and it was formed after a Demon Venerable’s seated transformation.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole auction hall was immediately in an uproar, and even the people from the Five Great Powers could not remain calm.

“What?

It’s actually a Demonic Blood Essence formed after a Demon Venerable’s seated transformation?

This is a treasure!”

“Shouldn’t such a treasure be auctioned off as the finale?

Why is it being brought out now?”

“Damn it, if I could get this Demonic Blood Essence, I could at least break through to the Seventh-level Martial King.”

“Who can lend me some Spirit Stones?

I’d go bankrupt to get my hands on this Demonic Blood Essence.”

…

Some Demonic Beasts choose to sit and transform when their lifespans are exhausted, merging their essence blood into their Demon Pills.

After being baptized by the essence blood, the Monster Air in the Demon Pills gradually fades, eventually forming the Demonic Blood Essence, almost integrating all the power into the Demon Pills.

Martial Artists cannot refine Demon Pills, but they can refine Demonic Blood Essence.

Refining Demonic Blood Essence can obtain most of the energy contained within it.

The Demonic Blood Essence in front of them was actually formed after a Demon Venerable’s seated transformation, containing a vast amount of energy.

Even a Ninth Layer Martial King may have a chance to breakthrough to the Martial Venerable Realm by refining it.

Just as everyone was preparing for a big fight, Lu Xuanming stretched out his hand to press down the void, and the scene immediately quieted down.

“Although this Demonic Blood Essence was formed after a Demon Venerable’s seated transformation, it is different from ordinary Demonic Blood Essence.

The energy contained in this Demonic Blood Essence is extremely violent.

Even this King would not dare to refine it easily.

If anyone has a method to refine it, this is undoubtedly a valuable treasure.”

It was for this reason that this Demonic Blood Essence was not auctioned off as the finale.

While this Demonic Blood Essence was indeed a treasure, it was only a treasure to those who could refine it, and not everyone considered it a treasure.
