Heaven Devourer Devil Skill!
There weren’t many people left in the hall after Yang Tian left the appraisal room. A sagacious female attendant welcomed him. “Sir, may I be of any help?”
Yang Tian had a think before showing the token First Elder gave him and smiled. “Take me to my room.”
“Please come with me,” said the amazed maid.
Yang Tian nodded and went with the attendant.
The floor was purple and gold. The walls were made from luxurious materials. The space was big and majestic. The beams had carvings on them. The view below was visible outside the walls. There were lots of people. There were five floors. The golden token was only enough to use a room on the fourth floor. Only the strongest adepts on the continent could access the fifth floor.
The interior of the room was a void over 330 square metres large. There was a strong formation protecting it. Adepts were unable to pee inside. He sat down on the chair and shut his eyes. He opened them ten minutes later. He peered through the wall.
The person holding the auction, an elder by the name of Dan Li, a rank seven alchemist, stepped up to the purple platform. Rank seven alchemists were always treated with integrity. His status was high. He didn’t care for all the praise he was showered with. He announced, “Welcome to the auction, guests.”
Dan Li took out a purple pill furnace the size of a hand. It had patterns on it. Dao essence was found within. It was mysterious. It suited Yang Tian’s needs. Dan Li then announced, “Li Pill Flame Furnace. It comes from Dao Divine Mountain. Not even this old one can understand all the carvings inside.”
Gasps!
The furnace’s value increased.
Dan Li spun the furnace. It spat flames out. Its Dao essence burst. The purple flames were scorching hot. He declared, “It’s high quality. It increases the chance of successfully producing pills by 50%. The flames inside are splendid. The starting bid is two thousand high-grade bloodstones. Every successive bid must be one hundred high-grade bloodstones or more.”
That was expensive.
Yang Tian touched his chin and smiled. “There must be lots of treasures this time. The first pill furnace is already so amazing. It should be even better if I use Dao Scripture with it since it came from Dao Divine Mountain.”
“This old one offers two thousand and one hundred!”
“Two thousand two hundred…”
“Two thousand three hundred…”
The energy in there reached a climax.
“Three thousand!”
The girl from the third floor plunged the room into silence with her bid. Yang Tian wanted it, though! Lazily, he declared, “Three thousand and five hundred.”
Without even seeing Yang Tian, they began showering him with words of admiration.
Yang Tian was relieved he won the bid without any trouble. He only had twenty thousand high-grade bloodstones. He needed to save enough for divine soul herbs.
The next few items were good, but not as good as the pill furnace.
The girl from the appraisal room knocked. Yang Tian chuckled. “Mm, being a VIP is good. Saves me running down there to bid. Come in.”
The girl came in all smiles and handed the pill furnace over on a jade tray. “Sir, your pill furnace.”
“Thank you.” Yang Tian handed her bloodstones from an interspatial ring and took the furnace.
“Sir, as you are a golden token customer, you do not need to pay admin fees.” The girl handed back the extra bloodstones with a sweet smile.
Yang Tian: What’s she so happy about, then?
“I may not receive bloodstones; however, I will be compensated for my contribution.”
Yang Tian nodded with a smile. “Oh, I see.”
“I shall take my leave now. You can always call me if you need anything. I will be on standby outside the door.”
Yang Tian sent his golden qi and blood into the furnace after the girl exited. The furnace vibrated. The patterns moved. Scorching flames spawned. The dao sounds boomed. Yang Tian’s body resonated. The furnace grew even more amazing. He smiled. It was better than he thought. Dao Sect created it. It hadn’t been used in years, yet was free of any rust, indicating the quality was fantastic.
Dan Li showed a black iron piece from the primordial era. There were scriptures on the piece.
Yang Tian: “Primordial era text!”
When Yang Tian saw the fragmented cultivation method on it: “Heaven Devourer Devil Skill!”
