The appearance of the Lava Ape beast egg caused a commotion in the auction, a second-rank beast’s bloodline, which means there’s at least a fifty percent chance it would become a second-rank beast when mature, as strong as the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Among the Yunjian Sect’s territory, the Lava Ape beast holds an infamous reputation, dwelling in the Lava Canyon.
No one has ever successfully domesticated the Lava Ape beast.
The beast is known for its extreme ferocity and volatility, easily losing its sanity, even attacking its own master.
Nonetheless, it is undeniable that the Lava Ape beast’s bloodline and strength are indeed formidable.
The beast egg is likely the handiwork of the Yu Family from Blackrock Mountain.
The Yu Family might have attempted to raise a Lava Ape from its egg, but unfortunately, their plan must have failed, leading to the premature emergence of the beast egg, inherently deficient.
Many cultivators in the hall below were in animated discussions. Some attempted to bid, but none committed decisively.
Su Yu waited for the price to reach five hundred low- grade Spirit Stones without further bids, then she said, “Five hundred and fifty.”
The bidder from the second-floor private box, hearing Su Yu’s bid, chose not to continue anymore.
Su Yu won the Lava Ape beast egg.
Watching her bid twice, Su Yun said, “It seems you’ve been saving up a lot in the past two years.”
Su Yu respectfully replied, “Thanks to Master’s guidance.”
Su Yun shook his head and chuckled, saying, “You have a high talent for alchemy. You are the best I’ve seen all these years, even among the entire
Yuniian Sect.”
“You just won a Talisman Master inheritance. You can study how to make talismans as well, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your alchemy.”
Su Yu rapidly retorted, “Master, don’t worry, it won’t.”
Su Yun nodded, his attention returning to the auction.
Besides the Foundation Establishment Pill, some high-grade Magic Artifacts appeared as well. Both Su Yun and Su Yu were intrigued by these Magic Artifacts.
Neither of them, however, participated in the bidding for these high-grade Magic Artifacts.
Su Yu didn’t need a high-grade Magic Artifact just yet.
For Su Yun, the primary goal of this auction was the Foundation Establishment Pill, not the high-grade Magic Artifacts.
If he was to bid for these artifacts as well, he would draw unnecessary attention to himself.
The penultimate item in the auction was a pair of Foundation Establishment Pills. However, it wasn’t until the auctioneer showed the pills that everyone understood why they were displayed at the auction.
The auctioneer said, “These are slightly flawed Foundation Establishment Pills. Normally these pills have a twenty percent chance to aid breakthrough. But these two can probably only enhance chance by fifteen percent.”
“We will auction the Foundation Establishment Pills separately, starting at two thousand low-grade Spirit Stones each. Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!”
No sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking, a voice from a box on the third floor added a thousand stones to the initial price in one go.
The crowd gasped.
All the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators in the main hall looked on with envy at the Foundation Establishment Pill on the stage.
Especially the older cultivators.
That was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Pill.
“Does anyone else wish to bid?” the auctioneer added in excitement.
“Three thousand five hundred low- grade Spirit Stones.”
A bid was made from a box on the second floor.
In an instant.
The price of the first flawed Foundation Establishment Pill had risen to four thousand six hundred low- grade Spirit Stones.
By that point, only two or three were still persisting, and their bids seemed tentative.
From the second floor, Su Yun spoke firmly, “Five thousand.”
His bid left the auction silenced.
This was the highest bid since the start of the auction, which left the ordinary participants speechless.
The man on the third floor hesitated for a long time, and just as the auctioneer was about to close the bid, he added another hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.
But immediately after, Su Yun added a hundred more, making it five thousand two hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.
Recognizing Su Yun’s determination, the man decided to give up.
Su Yun won the first Foundation Establishment Pill.
Su Yun and Su Yu didn’t participate in the remaining auction. They left their box, found a steward from the commerce firm, handed over their Spirit Stones, and quickly left with their items.
But before they could reach the pill pavilion, a furious voice sounded from the Yénshan Commerce Firm’s direction. “How dare you!”
“Boom!”
The sound of battle commenced.
There was a scoff, followed by a tyrannical but chilling voice that made people uncomfortable, “Just you two kids trying to stop me?”
Su Yun’s complexion changed, and he glanced over and quickly said, “Let’s go, it’s a Foundation Establishment cultivator!”
Su Yu was also taken aback.
A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator attacking the Yånshan Commerce Firm. Fortunately, they had left early or else they might’ve been caught up in the chaos.
The two hurried back to the pill pavilion. The city’s defensive array had already been activated, but the fighting continued fiercely on the sideline, it seemed that the city’s defensive array couldn’t suppress the other side.
Just as the two were about to reach the pill pavilion, suddenly a cold light flashed, directly aiming at Su Yun’s head.
Clang!
Su Yun’s body burst into a golden light, activating a mid-grade defensive Magic Artifact, blocking the attacking Magic Artifact.
“Hmph, leave the Foundation Establishment Pill!” A figure covered in a cloak and wearing a mask that hid his Divine Sense, rushed out.
His aura turned out to be from a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refinement Realm’s ninth level.
The man excelled in metal elemental spells. As soon as he appeared, he sent various spells towards Su Yun, forcing Su Yun to continuously retreat.
But the next moment, this man’s face changed.
“Whoosh!”
Two talismans were thrown out by Su Yun, and a raging inferno welled up like a flood dragon, dissolving the man’s attacks and rushing towards him instead.
This power was undoubtedly that of a top-grade first-rank fire elemental attack talisman.
The man was left in a somewhat awkward state by the two fire dragons, retreating over a dozen yards.
Just as the fire dragons receded and the man was about to attack Su Yun again, the man’s pupils suddenly shrank, and he cursed under his breath.
Su Yun stared at him coldly, his hands holding more than a dozen menacing fire elemental attack talismans, and said with a murderous intent, “Come.
The man’s face darkened,
Whoosh!
Without the slightest hesitation, the man turned and ran.
Su Yu, who had been watching the fight on the side, got an indescribable feeling, especially when Master Su Yun held more than a dozen talismans and coldly watched the man, offering him to continue the fight. This was just too damn…typical of an Alchemist’s combat style.
Truly wealthy Alchemists usually didn’t lack money.
In addition to using medicines, talismans, mechanical puppets, and formations could also be used as an Alchemist’s means to fight.
Although Alchemists might not have strong self-defense, they are not afraid of any enemy, no matter who it is.
Su Yun put away the talismans in his hand, and said indifferently with an imposing aura, “Let’s go, we’re heading back.”
Upon returning to the pill pavilion, Su Yun activated its defensive array.
The outside battle didn’t last long, as the Yunjian Sect was right next door. Any disturbance in the Yénshan market was a serious provocation to the Yunjian Sect.
However, the attacker was indeed strong. Even under the joint attack of two Yunjian Sect cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm and the pressure of the defensive array, he managed to escape.
Afterward, news spread out. Reportedly, the last auction item of the Yånshan Commerce Firm was the incomplete supreme Magic Artifact, the Skyfall Umbrella.
The attacker, known as the Blood Blade Daoist, a late-stage Foundation
Establishment cultivator, was a demon cultivator wanted by the Great Moon Palace. He was extremely ruthless and rampant in his actions.
It was believed that the incomplete Skyfall Umbrella was successfully snatched away by him..
