Treasure Snagged!
The auction venue was plunged into tension after the interlude. Rare pills and cream-of-the-crop items were offered thereafter.
Dan Xueyi knocked and entered Yang Tian’s room ten minutes later. She teasingly smiled. “What, you don’t recognise me anymore?”
Yang Tian smiled and stood up. “Of course I recognise you. Please have a seat.”
“I really wonder what you traded to have those old geezers bouncing of walls.” Dan Xueyi passed Yang Tian a jade tray.
Yang Tian examined the five black pieces of iron of varying sizes. Put together, they were the size of a hand. “Go ask them.”
“As if they’d tell me.”
Yang Tian looked back and forth between the five pieces earnestly. His Divine Dragon Soul Sealing Ornament vibrated cheerfully, yet the spirit couldn’t see anything Yang Tian couldn’t.
The five pieces resembled mountains, and sometimes resembled deep chasms. He powered up. A vibration from his glowing interior resonated with the stones. It was either an unknown material or divine material. He couldn’t see anything inside with his Divine Soul energy, yet his Fortune Divine Qi resonated with it.
“Hey, did you hear me?!” exclaimed Dan Xueyi. She thought, Does a rock look better than me?
“Ugh… Hehe, sorry, I spaced out.”
“Hmph!” Dan Xueyi peeked at the iron and complained, “What’s the scripture about for you to be so invested?”
Yang Tian nodded with a smile. “If your alliance can’t tell, what makes you think I know?”
“Keep feigning.” Dan Xueyi pinched her eyebrows together and griped. Turning her attention to the two precious herbs, she remarked, “They’re soul fusion flower. One is fourteen thousand years old. The other one is nine thousand years old… You’re not going to produce a soul fusion pill for the convention, are you? It’s unimaginably difficult. You’re not going to have a shoulder to cry on if you fail.”
Yang Tian touched his nose and frowned. “You never know until you try. Why are there only two? Didn’t we say three? This one isn’t ten thousand years old, either.”
“They’re ultra rare. They told me to make it up to you. So, what do you want? We’ll provide you with it as long as we have it.”
Yang Tian touched his nose, and then handed Dan Xueyi a silver sheet of paper. He wanted Dao Divine Sword Classic’s most essence: the last technique that couldn’t be blocked. He inquired, “Can you help me find the last page?”
“Eh? So you were the one at the auction in Devil Spirit City.”
Yang Tian recalled Dan Xueyi bidding back then. He asked, “Do you have the last page?”
“Yeah,” answered Dan Xueyi, twirling her hair with her finger and wearing a sly expression. “I can give it to you; however, you have to tell me what this is.”
Yang Tian grinned. “It’s a sealed sword manual. It’s impossible for your alliance to open it. You need a specific cultivation method to open it.”
Dan Xueyi nodded. “I see now.”
Alchemy Alliance possessed numerous records of cultivation methods.
“Wait here. I’ll go grab it for you.” Dan Xueyi slowly got up and headed out.
When the door shut, Yang Tian left his Divine Soul energy at the auction venue before entering Ancestral Dragon Ring. He sat cross-legged on the ground and imbued the five iron pieces with the glow he donned. As the filaments of light made contact with the iron, Fortune Divine Qi seeped into the iron, leading to them glowing. He nodded. Dao sounds rumbled. Fortune Divine Qi intensified. As more energy entered, the surface shone five colours. Energy burst.
A huge misty cauldron appeared in the sky. Divine power burst from it. It passed through the mist, but it was only a phantom.
Yang Tian: “What’s that?!”
“Focus! Observe the cauldron’s divine essence and its form!” someone commanded.
“Who are you?!” Yang Tian’s eyes bulged.
A devil dragon appeared. The dragon observed the divine essence. It was stunned. The dormant devil dragon woke! It was the dragon’s leftover divine will power. It was the first time Yang Tian heard it speak. He quickly shifted his gaze to the cauldron.
The cauldron consisted of five colours. Its three legs were the earth. Its body was the world. It contained all Sources. The cauldron was a world! The surface was packed with text but was too bright to view.
Yang Tian’s face was red. His qi and blood roiled. He thought he’d explode. Amazing cauldron. Just looking at it was more than he could handle. He observed the divine essence even more meticulously. He observed its form. He couldn’t even memorise it because it exploded!
The cauldron shot out a phantom. In mere seconds, it vanished. The five coloured stone dropped onto the ground. Its appearance was clearly changed. The scriptures were still there. The divine power inside was so profound.
The dragon looked somewhat disappointed. Yang Tian asked, “Elder Devil Dragon, what is this artefact? How is it so amazing?”
