Chapter 221: Auction
The Immaculate Poison King severely injured a Foundation Establishment cultivator but is still well and alive? That explains his arrogance. He must have formidable means up his sleeves, Fang Chen thought.
Young friend, whats on your mind? Surely you dont intend to step forward and uphold justice? If so, Id have to advise you to drop that thought, Song Yu said. I harbored such thoughts in my younger years too but thats simply the world we live in. Theres no changing it no matter what we do.
I just thought he looked familiar, Fang Chen replied. Rest assured, Chief Song. I dont do things Im not confident about.
Its not surprising that you find him familiar. The Immaculate Poison Kings reputation isnt for show. He wouldnt have shown me any respect at all if not for Boss Yous strong clan backing, Song Yu replied with a bitter sigh.
Forget it, lets not talk about this anymore. Boss You arranged a distinguished compartment room for us too. Lets head over.
The distinguished compartment rooms had a window that allowed them to overlook the auction hall. All in all, there were ten of such rooms.
Many people had already gathered in the auction hall, and those who were acquainted greeted one another. Those who didnt know anyone settled down in their seats and patiently waited for the auction to commence.
The average cultivation level in this auction hall was much higher than the cultivators who frequented Dragonback Lane. There were even eighth stage and ninth stage Ki Refinement cultivators.
As for those who were at tenth stage Ki Refinement and above, they had all been ushered into the distinguished compartment rooms.
Fang Chen closed his eyes and feigned rest. His soul drifted to the neighboring room, where a tenth stage Ki Refinement cultivator was patiently waiting for the auction to commence.
He proceeded to look at the other rooms, until he stumbled upon the Immaculate Poison King.
Little bastard, take his pill. The Immaculate Poison King took out a green pill and tossed it by the side of the hunched figure.
The hunched figure bent down with great difficulty to pick up the green pill and pop it into his mouth. His movements looked very stiff, and there was not the slightest emotion to be detected on his ugly face.
Shortly after swallowing the pill, the hunched figures face warped in pain. The massive tumor on his back began leaking thick, green pus.New novel chapters are published on
The Immaculate Poison King burst into laughter. He took out a clear bottle, and with a wave of his hand, the thick, green pus was drawn into the bottle.
You might be young, but you have a hardy life. You have at least nurtured 500 grams of Dracovenom for me now, the Immaculate Poison King snickered before downing the contents in the bottle.
The Immaculate Poison King sneered before playing with his braids again.
Fang Chens soul returned to his body, and he opened his eyes. He mumbled under his breath, The South Heaven Sect, huh
He had no idea how the child ended up in the hands of a malevolent cultivator instead of being in the South Heaven Sect. I shall question Jinnan about this one day.
Most of the guests are present, Song Yu suddenly stood up and said. The auction should be starting soon.
Fang Chen looked below, and the sight of another familiar figure made him raise his eyebrows.
It had been a while since they last met, but Li Huafeng looked different from before. He was dressed in a green daoist robe, and he was accompanied by a seventh stage Ki Refinement middle-aged daoist.
Chief Song, whats the background of that daoist? Fang Chen pointed to the middle-aged daoist as he asked.
He is a Cloudless Monasterys cultivator, Song Yu glanced over and replied. He then turned to Fang Chen and asked, Young friend, are you acquainted with the Cloudless Monastery? It has quite a reputation in the region. Rumor has it that its old abbot is at twelfth stage Ki Refinement, just a step short of reaching Foundation Establishment.
I dont know him. Fang Chen shook his head.
Minutes later, Boss You appeared in the auction hall. He warmly greeted all of the cultivators as if he knew them.
Song Yu remarked, Boss You has wider connections than me. Its lucky that the You Clan didnt scorn our Dragonback Lane, or else this place will be much colder than it is.
Boss You is from a formidable clan? Fang Chen asked.
He has a Foundation Establishment ancestor. Song Yu nodded. The You Clan is a cultivator clan without a proper legacy, but its famous in the world of cultivation. They have businesses all around the world, so its not to be underestimated.
Foundation Establishment ancestor?
No wonder hes able to organize an auction with hundreds of people. Its with such a backing that these people trust him to sell their goods or buy the things they need.
The first thing on our auction today is a cultivation method, Boss You said.
A huge commotion ensued.
