Chapter 2017
byEveryone has taken a good look, right? Well, although this old man is not an alchemist, because his cultivation technique is of the fire attribute, he can slightly drive the power of this alchemy furnace. Well this old man will demonstrate for everyone how peculiar this thing is.” As the Drunken Old Man spoke, he suddenly threw the black jade tripod that he had been holding in his hand, and then quickly pinched the spirit formula.
Accompanied by his infusion of refined source power into the black jade tripod one after another, the small black jade tripod actually expanded as it met the wind, and soon became as tall as a person, falling heavily on the high platform with a bang.
After the alchemy furnace became larger, the complex patterns on it also became clearer.
Not only that, under the sweep of everyone’s spiritual thoughts, one could even see that there were four dragon heads embedded inside the alchemy furnace and the interior of the furnace cauldron was even more flowing with brilliance, making people look dizzy and fascinated.
“The master who refined this cauldron must be a strange person. He engraved countless spirit arrays in this cauldron, all of which can be used for alchemy. If someone can figure it out in detail, there is no need to engrave the spirit array by oneself in the future. Just inspire the ones in the cauldron. Moreover the design of these four dragon heads in the cauldron enables the alchemist to better control the heat. There are also some other amazing functions. You all watch carefully.
While speaking, the Drunken Old Man suddenly picked up his gourd and took a big gulp of strong wine. Immediately, his already somewhat ruddy face became even redder. He slapped his chest and opened his mouth to spit at the black jade cauldron.
A fire dragon spewed out from his mouth. The fire dragon wagged its head and tail, and when it hit the black jade cauldron, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and disappeared after getting in.
The Drunken Old Man then began to pinch the spirit formula again, with a mysterious smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, from one of the dragon heads in the cauldron, a raging flame spewed out. The flame seemed to be extremely hot and actually presents a deep blue color. And with the control of the Drunken Old Man, the heat could also be made larger or smaller.
Then, the second dragon head also spewed out flame, and then the third. The fourth…
The Drunken Old Man withdrew his magic formula and stood aside without moving.
But the flame in the cauldron did not go out, but continued to burn, looking as if it would last for a long time.
“This alchemy furnace can actually store energy？” Those who knew the goods immediately saw the trick.
“That’s right. This friend has a sharp eye.” The Drunken Old Man laughed loudly. “The old man didn’t use much strength just now. Calculated, it’s just the level of an ordinary blow. But with such strength poured into the furnace tripod, it is enough to make it burn for half a day. And once the heat is controlled well, it will never change again. In this way, I’m afraid everyone knows how much help this is to alchemists？”
As soon as the Drunken Old Man’s voice fell, a chaotic sound immediately rang out in the hall.
Although he didn’t explain it clearly, most of the martial artists present basically understood the preciousness of this alchemy furnace.
When an alchemist is refining alchemy, he needs to observe the changes of the medicinal materials at all times, control the heat at all times, pour strength into the alchemy furnace, and cannot leave for a moment.
But if there is this Ink Jade Tripod, it will be different. The alchemist only needs to set a certain temperature, pour enough energy into it, and in the next period of time, the alchemy furnace will always maintain that state.
The alchemist can completely take this time to recover well.
During the process of refining alchemy, there are many times when the alchemist fails because the power in the body cannot continue.
But with this Ink Jade Tripod, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.
Apart from possessing all the abilities of an ordinary alchemy furnace, it also has its own unique characteristics, and it is of the mid-grade Dao Source level. In the eyes of alchemists, its value is no less than that of an Emperor Treasure！
“Time is limited, so the old man won’t show all the other characteristics of the alchemy furnace one by one. However, the old man can guarantee that if any alchemist can have this thing, he can completely refine pills across one rank！”
As soon as these words came out, countless people sucked in a breath of cold air.
The advancement of an alchemist is even more difficult than that of a martial artist. Especially the advancement of a great realm, many alchemists are stuck at the upper grade of the Void King level and cannot make any progress in their entire lives. But if what the Drunken Old Man said is true, as long as there is the Black Jade Cauldron, a Void King level alchemist will have the opportunity to refine Dao Source level pills, and even the success rate of pill formation will not be too low.
All kinds of temptations and benefits not only made the alchemists present extremely excited, but also made the representatives of those sects and families gaze hotly.
“The mid-grade Dao Source level alchemy furnace, the Black Jade Cauldron, starts at one million Source Crystals, and each increase must not be less than fifty thousand. Please start bidding, everyone.” The Drunken Old Man shouted loudly and walked aside with a smile.
“The starting price is one million…” Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help twitching the corner of his mouth.
Just now, when he heard the Drunken Old Man boasting so much, he was naturally a little moved by the Black Jade Cauldron.
The alchemy furnace in his hand was still the Zixu Cauldron he had obtained from the Emperor’s Garden when he delved into it back then. Its grade was not low either, being a Void King-level top-grade alchemy furnace. It had accompanied him until now, but when comparing the Zixu Cauldron with the Moyu Cauldron, they were not on the same level at all.
But the starting price of one million made Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
He only had over one million source crystals in his hand, probably only enough to shout the starting price…
“This Moyu Cauldron is actually so miraculous？” Beside him, Kang Siran also seemed a bit surprised.
Although he could rely on his good relationship with the City Lord’s Mansion to obtain some information in advance, it was obvious that he didn’t know much about this Moyu Cauldron either. After hearing what Drunken Old Man said at this moment, his expression couldn’t help but become solemn.
If he could tap this alchemy furnace then the production of pills in the Lingdan Workshop would definitely increase a lot in the future. As the person in charge here, his performance would also improve. Maybe one day he could receive rewards and promotions from the General rudder of the Chamber of Commerce.
But when he thought of the finale Daoyuan Fruit… Kang Siran was entangled again.
He turned his head and took a look at Yang Kai. Seeing that Yang Kai was also smiling bitterly, he was Stunned and said, “Alchemist Yang, aren’t you going to participate in the auction？”
“No, just watch the excitement.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
Kang Siran understood in his heart and nodded, not saying anything more.
While the two were talking, the auction had already started. But strangely, no one made a bid, and the hall was also eerily quiet. Obviously, everyone was waiting for others to make a move and see the market situation first.
For a while, the atmosphere at the auction site was extremely strange.
If it were someone else presiding over the auction, they probably wouldn’t be in a hurry and would instead wait with confidence. After all, good things are not afraid of not being wanted. But this time, the one presiding over the auction was Drunken Old Man…
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one making a bid, Drunken Old Man couldn’t help but grin and said, “It seems that the first item to fail the auction in this auction is about to be born. Since that’s the case, then…”
“Wait a minute, Vice City Lord, your temper is a bit too impatient, isn’t it？” Immediately, a man’s voice came from a private room.
“Then are you going to make a bid or not? If you don’t, this old man will buy it himself. When I resell it in the future, I’m sure to make a fortune.” Drunken Old Man looked at that side with a smile.
Hearing him say this, many people couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
The person presiding over the auction actually wanted to participate in the auction. They had never experienced such a thing, and had never even heard of it. Only Drunken Old Man could say such a thing.
“Well, since all the friends here are so reserved, then I’ll offer one million as a starter.” The man in the private room said helplessly.
“One million is too little. One million five hundred thousand. This Ink Jade Tripod is ours, the Du Family’s.”
“Daring to ask such a high price with just one million five hundred thousand？ Ridiculous. Our Jiang Family offers one million eight hundred thousand！”
“Since that’s the case, our Qin Family will also join in the fun. Two million！”
After the first bid, there were immediately people continuously increasing the price, and the bidders all represented the families behind them. Thinking about it, with such a huge quantity of source crystals, ordinary martial artists simply couldn’t come up with it. Only sect families had the ability to afford it.”
All of a sudden, the major private rooms enthusiastically participated in the auction. Seeing this, the Drunken Old Man gave a heh heh laugh and didn’t say anything more. He picked up the big gourd and drank on his own.”
The several families had always been openly and secretly competing with each other within Fenglin City. Now, seeing that this Ink Jade Tripod was clearly a good thing that could help the family improve its strength, naturally no one was willing to let it go.”
In just a short time of no more than thirty breaths, the price of this Ink Jade Tripod had been raised to two million seven hundred thousand, and it was still rising all the way. No one was willing to withdraw.”
Another half a cup of tea passed, and the price of the Ink Jade Tripod had reached more than four million. It was only at this time that several families Youdaoplaceholder0 stopped making a sound. Youdaoplaceholder1, this price had reached their limit of bearing.
Although the Ink Jade Tripod was good, the Dao Source Fruit, which was the finale item, could directly enable one to achieve the Dao Source Realm. In comparison, those people could only reluctantly give up.”
At this time, Yang Kai had completely become a bystander. If the starting price of one million before made him have some thoughts and consider whether he could sell some of the things in his hands to gather enough Source Crystals, now he no longer held any hope.
“This Ink Jade Tripod is bound to be obtained by my Jiang family. I ask all of you to be convenient. Four million one hundred thousand！” A man’s voice full of vitality came from the private room of the Jiang family.
Sure enough, the others fell silent. Many people didn’t dare to continue competing with the Jiang family. After all, the Jiang family had not weak strength in Maple Forest City, and the few families that dared to compete with the Jiang family also had to give up because the number of Source Crystals was too large.
Seeing this, the person from the Jiang family who spoke was overjoyed and said, “Deputy City Lord, can we…”
Before he could finish his words, a charming voice suddenly rang out： “Master Jiang, don’t be so impatient. Little sister hasn’t bid yet. Hmm, let’s just bid four million two hundred thousand.”
As soon as these words came out, in the private room of the Jiang family, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had a flash of cold light in his eyes. He looked towards the source of the sound and shouted, “Shopkeeper Zhuo?”
At the same time, Kang Siran also let out a cold snort： “Zhuo Ningsi！ This bitch really couldn’t hold back and had to make a move.”
As sworn enemies of each other, Kang Siran naturally recognized who the owner of that charming voice was at once It was the shopkeeper of the Pill and Artifact Pavilion who had poached his corner before, Zhuo Ningsi.
