Chapter 132 Trouble Again

The contest kicked off the next morning, Liam stood alongside Alexander in a separate platform as they crafted a lord rank pill called the Golden meridian pill.

It wasn't that hard, one just have to follow a simple procedure and use the most basic flame ever unless the pill result would not be anything like they called it.

Liam did not bother about using the method in the book of alchemy he have obtained but instead all he did was listen to the voice of the heavenly music monarch and craft the pill.

He was the number one person to finish forging his pill, the pill quality was tested to be 89% and was also confirmed to be the golden meridian pill, with that he was immediately qualified for the next round and so was Alexander who finished two minutes later after two other guys were done and qualified for the next round.

His own was 60% which was considerate, the first round ended after few hours, out of over two hundred participants only one hundred and fifty was qualified for the next round which would take place tomorrow.

"Do you wanna go check out an auction house with me, I heard that they will be bringing a lot of interesting weapons and ancient manuals." Alexander asked with a smile.

Liam nodded, he did not plan on cultivating today besides too much power increase was not good for a mana core.

And also, there was a probability he would find higher grade primeval crystals there and at the moment Liam really needed a lot of higher grade primeval stones to store up for his cultivation.

Both of them left to the auction house which was several kilometers away from there, surprisingly they were not the only one him there.

Those who participated and some of the higher ups in the contest were attending as well.

Alexander came from a rich family, and he has also made his own money by forging pills for others and also from selling the pills he forged.

They got there and it was pretty crowded such that they found it difficult to look for a seat, they had to walk for as long as ten minutes before they finally found a place to seat at the middle.

Alexander got number 220, while Liam got 234 as their number.

A pretty lady dressed in sexy revealing clothes walked out, she has a veil covering her face and one could easily tell from her voice that she has a very beautiful visage, even her body shape screamed out the same thing.

"Welcome for attending the drunken thunder annual auction..." she gave a beautiful welcoming speech after which the first item was brought out.

"This is the dark thunder sword, it has been tested to be superior grade weapon, it starting price is 500 thousand gold coins."

After she called out the starting price, the first bidder with number 113 raised his number tag and bid "230 thousand."

"Number 113 bids 530 thousand."

"Number 145 bids 550 thousand."

"Dark thunder sword going for 550 thousand!"

"Dark thunder sword going for 550 thousand!"

Alexander raises his own and bid 490 thousand,

"Number 220 bids 900 thousand."

"Going for 900 thousand."

The crowd tilted their head towards Alexander who has a very handsome smile on his lip, they could not help but think that he was from a notable family.

At this age he was able to bid so much for a sword, no one dared to raise the price of the sword and Alexander won.

The next item was an halbard which Alexander won with 1.2 million, currently no one dared to bid unless Alexander have spoken.

However when a cultivation technique showed up he could no longer stand his ground anymore.

The technique was best for all essence meaning that it even accepts demonic essence and other kind of essence, Liam cultivates with numerous essence therefore he was attracted to buy the technique.

Nevertheless, even with the money he has he did not want to raise the price so much, wosrt comes to worst he could scan it in the hand of another person.

They were someone ready to pay five hundred thousand for it and another person ready to pay more than six hundred and ten thousand.

The price was going up so much, Liam thought of an idea and shared it with Alexander who loved the idea very much that he agreed to it immediately.

"You should bring 700 thousand and I bring 500 hundred thousand, this way you can own the technique while I hust need it for three minutes."

"That's a great plan, if you just want to read it then I'm ready to pay one million you can support with two hundred."

Liam nodded his head, Alexander suggested that since he has been the one bidding since then it was advisable that Liam bid this one.

Liam agreed raised his own number tag and gave the price they were willing to pay, however he only raised it by 1.1 million gold coins.

"Going for 1.1 million, going for 1.1 million."

The crowd let out a sigh of disappointment, Liam won the bid and the scroll was given to him, Alexander payed with a bank note, Liam gave him the hundred he placed on top.

And then he opened the scroll and stole a glance at it, he activated automatic scanning and the system scrolled the technique know as the ethereal cultivation of reality, it was so complex but with the help of the system and the IQ of the heavenly music monarch he was able to understand it, immediately after he understood it he felt a large amount of energy moving into his body.

He immediately felt warm inside, as though he was feeling peaceful in his mind.

'This technique, it will be useful to breakthrough the mortal stage of cultivation and reach the earth stage, the tribulation will not be painful if I cultivate this ethereal cultivation of reality diligently.'

Unfortunately there was no primeval crystal for him, he decided to check the lower floors to see if they sell stuffs like that, fortunately they had a lot to sell but they were all mid grade.

He only bought fifty which would be sufficient for a week, if he cultivated diligently, everything was sold for one hundred and fifty thousand.

After keeping them in his inventory he left the place, unknowingly there was someone in the crowd with covering his face and a dark cloak covering his body.

'Primeval crystals, he is a demonic cultivator no wonder he could transform. I guess he really have something to do with the curse' Jordan thought to himself before leaving the place.

Meanwhile, Liam was already in his room reading through the stored information of the ethereal cultivation of reality, he came to realize it was really great and not so complicated after he understood how it works.

It was just like other cultivation technique but it was a better in a way that it could be used with different kind of essense or energy at the same time, like using qi essence, crimson energy, blood essence, primeval essence, demonic essence and so on.

It even even works better when cultivated with different essence at the same time.

Liam did not cultivate to increase his cultivation right away, after breaking through he needed to solidate his cultivation so that cultivating into higher cultivation realm would be easy.

He sat in a mediative position, and let the essence flow through his body, his acupoints absorbed the essence hungrily.

Alexander was walking towards his room, when two guys walked up to him all having the same cultivation as him.

Alexander frowned, "What do you want".

The two guys smirked looking at him, "You and that bastard had the gut to injure and beat our guys, it seems you have a death wish and we are here to fulfill it, if you know what is good for you summit everything you won at the option, and maybe we might spare your life."

Alexander eyes let out a cold glint hearing their words, he was just returning from the brothel, after enjoying himself and taking yin essence from those ladies who willingly gave it to him he decided to have a good nap but now there was two bastards coming to look for trouble.
