Chapter 2021

Although he was astonished, Kang Siran didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he said, “In that case, it seems that Alchemist Yang wants to participate in the auction？”

“That’s right, but I don’t have many source crystals on me.” Yang Kai had a worried expression on his face. He was already secretly considering what he should take out from his body as collateral.”

Perhaps… he could take out a piece of heavy earth. There was no need for much. Just a ball of heavy earth the size of a longan should be enough to pay for the expenses of this auction.”

But once the heavy earth appeared in the world, it might cause no small amount of trouble.”

“Hehe, since this spiritual weapon has such a relationship with Alchemist Yang, Alchemist Yang can rest assured and participate in the auction. As for how many source crystals are lacking, I will pay for you first. Alchemist Yang can return them to me when you have them in the future.” Kang Siran said generously.”

Yang Kai looked at him and frowned, saying, “But Shopkeeper Kang, don’t you want to bid for that last Dao Source Fruit？”

Kang Siran smiled and waved his hand. “I originally had some thoughts about that Dao Source Fruit, but now it seems that with the little source crystals in my hand, there is really little hope. I didn’t expect so many Dao Source Realm masters to come to this auction. Their financial resources are not something I can compare with. Now that Master Yang has an urgent need, it’s better for me to do a good deed. As for that Dao Source Fruit… Hehe, aren’t we going to explore that cave next? Maybe there is a Dao Source Pill inside.”

“How many source crystals does Shopkeeper Kang have？” Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.

Kang Siran held up a palm to indicate and said, “I don’t have any more. I hope it can help Master Yang.”

“Good, then thank you, Brother Kang. I will remember this kindness.” Yang Kai nodded seriously.

Kang Siran’s generous actions touched his heart. He secretly decided that if Kang Siran missed out on this Dao Source Fruit and didn’t get a Dao Source Pill in the subsequent exploration of the cave, then he would give him one when he refined a Dao Source Pill in the future to repay this favor.

During the days of contacting Kang Siran, Yang Kai felt that this person was really good and a worthy person to make friends with.

With Kang Siran’s guarantee, Yang Kai felt somewhat more confident in his heart. After all, the mid-grade Dao Source-level Alchemy Furnace before had only been auctioned off for six million Source Crystals. Presumably, the worth of Liuyan shouldn’t be higher than that of the Moyu Tripod. Even though it was that it had given birth to spiritual wisdom, it only had the cultivation level of Void King 3-layer. For some truly powerful experts, its function was limited.

However… there was no way to rule out some exceptional circumstances either.

Just as Yang Kai’s thoughts were changing, on the high platform, Zui Jiuweng wiped his mouth and continued, This doesn’t know what kind of opportunity it had before. Not only does it possess abundant and pure Fire Attribute power, but it can also control Lightning Attribute power. You all must not look down on it. An ordinary Void King 3-layer expert, if they were to fight against it one-on-one, would definitely not be its match. Only a martial artist at the Dao Source Jing level would be able to subdue it. Therefore, even if you are not a friend who has cultivated a Fire Attribute cultivation technique, if you shoot it, it will still be of great use. Its existence is equivalent to giving you an extra powerful helper for free!

Hearing Zui Jiuweng praise Liuyan like this, Yang Kai’s face immediately darkened, and he cursed continuously in his heart. He even wished he could rush onto the stage and sew Zui Jiuweng’s mouth shut.

The more he praised Liuyan, the more enthusiastic the bidders would be later. This was definitely not good news for Yang Kai.

“Moreover, this spirit… Hehe, it has another form.” Drunk Old Man revealed a meaningful smile. His gaze swept across the crowd below, and then the magic formula in his hand changed. The chain-like restraining force that bound Flowing Flame exerted force again. Flowing Flame let out a cry of pain. Then, under the gaze of everyone, it transformed with a shake, actually turning into a tall and graceful, alluring beauty wearing a fiery red dress.

“Hiss…”

“It can actually transform into a human form！”

“What kind of opportunity did this spirit have to be so miraculous.”

“Goodness, her body seems to have solidified into substance. It has somewhat deviated from the category of a spirit. I wonder how it feels to touch.”

When the many martial artists below saw Flowing Flame reveal her human form, they immediately became restless and shouted one after another.

Flowing Flame stood on the high platform, her expression extremely cold, with a look of ‘no strangers allowed’. The aloofness that kept people at a distance added an extra layer of beauty to her. When her phoenix eyes swept across, it actually caused many male martial artists to howl continuously.

Especially at this moment, Flowing Flame was bound by the chain-like restraint, making her plump figure even more curvaceous. Some people with ulterior motives were already dizzy with excitement.

Yang Kai slapped his forehead and let out a heavy sigh.

Kang Siran had just taken a sip of tea beside him, but now he couldn’t help but spray it out. He wiped it in a flurry and looked at Yang Kai with a strange expression, saying, “Brother Yang… Old man somewhat understands what you meant by friend just now.”

“Brother Kang, it’s not what you think…” Yang Kai feebly defended.

“Understand, understand. We’re all men.” Kang Siran chuckled, and the smile was full of meaning.

Yang Kai rolled his eyes and simply didn’t speak anymore.

“Everyone can see that this spirit of the weapon is not only a very capable helper, but also pleasing to the eye and brings face when brought along. To be honest, her beauty is the most beautiful that old man has ever seen in his life. Unfortunately, old man is already old. If not, he would definitely fight for it.” The Drunken Old Man chuckled, “Alright, no more nonsense. One fire-attribute spirit of the weapon, the reserve price is one million source crystals, and each increase should not be less than fifty thousand. Everyone, please!

The starting price of Liu Yan was actually the same as that of the mid-grade Dao Source-level alchemy furnace, which made Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as the Drunken Old Man’s voice fell, the sound of bidding rose and fell one after another below.

The reserve price of one million broke through to two million in just ten breaths.

“Three million!” Suddenly, a clear voice came from a private room numbered Jiazi, Youdaoplaceholder0 everyone to be stunned. The warriors who were originally going to bid suddenly fell silent.

Increasing the price by one million at a time, this had happened once before in the previous auctions, and… the voice seemed to come from the same private room.

“It’s that senior!” Someone recognized that the owner of the voice was the Dao Source Realm powerhouse who had bought the Moyu Cauldron and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Wow, this senior is really rich and powerful. Just now, he spent six million to buy the Moyu Cauldron, and now he is starting to bid for this weapon spirit.”

“What do you know?” If he can take pictures of both it will be a perfect match. Integrating this weapon spirit into the Moyu Cauldron might even allow the Moyu Cauldron to advance to the upper grade of the Dao Source level or even touch the level of the Emperor Treasure.”

“So that’s the case. Looking at it this way, is this senior determined to win this fire-attribute weapon spirit？”

“Hehe, then we’ll see how rich this senior is. Among those present, there are a lot of people who are interested in this weapon spirit.”

When this voice shouted out three million, Yang Kai’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Naturally, he also recognized who the owner of the voice was. The other party was interested in Liuyan naturally because he had just shot the Moyu Cauldron. Just as the warriors had discussed he should want to integrate Liuyan into that alchemy furnace to improve the quality of the cauldron.

The other party was rich and powerful. As soon as he made an offer, many people who were going to bid gave up, resulting in the silence of the on-site auction for a while and no one followed the price.

Seeing this, Yang Kai had to make a move and shouted loudly, “Four million！”

Only for Liuyan, he couldn’t give up anyway！ Even if he was bankrupt, he wouldn’t hesitate.

After Yang Kai’s voice was transmitted, Liuyan, who had been standing on the high platform looking around coldly, couldn’t help but tremble slightly. She glanced at the No. 9 private room in Area B intentionally or unintentionally, and then quickly shifted her gaze away, but the corner of her mouth slightly raised an arc.

She knew in her heart that Yang Kai wouldn’t let her fall into the hands of others.

“Here comes another fierce person.”

“Hahaha, this is interesting. I don’t know who will get it in the end.”

“That depends on who has more source crystals.”

Yang Kai increased the price from three million to four million in one breath, also adding one million like that person, but this courage was not inferior to the other party. In the No. 60 private room, a lean and capable man who looked about forty years old couldn’t help but frown. A burst of spiritual thoughts suddenly swept over towards the No. 9 private room in Area B.

Although there were restrictions in these private rooms to isolate the detection of ordinary spiritual thoughts, because they were temporarily arranged, there naturally wouldn’t be too powerful restrictions. The spiritual power of the lean man suddenly broke through the restrictions and directly pressed on Yang Kai and Kang Siran.

Kang Siran immediately let out a muffled grunt, his face suddenly turning pale, and he instantly felt a sense of suffocation.

Yang Kai’s body also sank slightly, but with a twist of his spiritual force, he was unharmed.

Dao Yuan Two-layer Realm！ Yang Kai’s heart sank. Only then did he infer the man’s true cultivation level through the strength of his spiritual thoughts.

“Brother Han！” On the high platform, as the host of the auction, the Drunken Old Man naturally couldn’t allow a strong person to bully the weak. Seeing this situation, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted, “Please stop！”

He directly called out the surname of the lean man, obviously already knowing the other party’s identity.

Upon hearing this, the lean man surnamed Han sneered and said, “Han is not doing anything. I’m just taking a look at them. Deputy City Lord doesn’t need to be nervous.”

The Drunken Old Man furrowed his brows and said lightly, “That’s for the best. Brother Han is a distinguished guest and naturally knows the rules of the auction.”

“There’s no need for you to remind me.” The man surnamed Han snorted coldly, seemingly quite displeased.

The Drunken Old Man nodded slightly and said, “Then let’s continue the auction. This friend in Private Room No. 9 of the B-Class has bid four million. Does Brother Han want to increase the price？”

After the Drunken Old Man finished asking this question, before the man surnamed Han could open his mouth, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the private room adjacent to his： “This young master bids four million five hundred thousand！”

That laughter was extremely arrogant, with a tone that didn’t take others seriously at all, making people feel disgusted after hearing it. Even the drunk old man standing on the high platform frowned.

The complexion of the man surnamed Han became even more severe, and the spiritual sense that had just been withdrawn leisurely swept towards the adjacent private room.
