Chapter 532 - 22: The Roadside Heist (Part 2)
Compared to the Ghost King,
one must advance to a Celestial Ghost to rival a Rogue Immortal.
Looking across the entire Cultivation Realm, Rogue Immortals are also countable, and they are all renowned masters for over a hundred years.
’What’s going on?’
’The Three Immortals are overseas cultivators, always uninvolved in worldly affairs, yet now they have sent disciples to Great Wei?’
’No!’
Fang Zheng’s eyes flickered.
’The Five Poison Sect and White Bone Sect have also long avoided the East Sea, along with the Seven Kills Sect, Celestial Corpse Sect, and others from the Six Paths of Demon Heaven.’
’A chaotic world is coming, all kinds of demons and monsters are emerging.’
He didn’t understand why, but instinctively felt something was wrong, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.
In the past.
A Great Zhou Celestial Martial Artist could hold their own in one place.
But now.
Clearly he had attained flawlessness, with six-ruler of Righteous Strength protecting him, yet Fang Zheng still felt lacking in confidence.
"Eighteen hundred taels of gold!"
Qian Ming shouted loudly,
"Congratulations to Young Hero Peng from Yingzhou Island."
"Next, is the Celestial Star Flying Stone from Antarctic Aurora Island, this item is from beyond the skies and can be used to forge Magical Artifacts or even Magical Treasures that are not constrained by the Power of the Five Elements."
He held an item and said,
"The starting bid is fifteen hundred taels of gold, each increment must not be less than fifty taels of gold!"
The Celestial Star Flying Stone was only the size of a palm, entirely translucent, like a stone soft as water.
Inside, starlight occasionally emerged, fluctuating unpredictably.
Qian Ming even manipulated a Magical Artifact to cover it, and indeed the Power of the Five Elements had no effect on it.
It’s known.
The vast majority of Magical Artifacts in the world belong to the Five Elements, and if this item is used to forge a Magical Artifact, it could have miraculous effects in battles.
Someone murmured softly,
"It’s rare to see things from Aurora Island at an auction outside of the Capital City."
"Indeed." Another person nodded in agreement,
"It’s just the beginning, and they’ve already brought out such good items, who knows what the finale will be?"
"I’m a bit curious."
"Two thousand taels of gold!"
"Two thousand one hundred taels!"
"..."
"Two thousand six hundred taels!"
"The friend over there bids two thousand six hundred taels, is there anyone else bidding?" Qian Ming called out loudly,
"Good!"
"Two thousand six hundred taels, sold!"
"Next item, Thousand-Year Thunderstruck Wood..."
Piece after piece of Spiritual Object, Treasure Medicine, Magical Artifact, and even Cultivation Technique appeared at the auction, occasionally causing an uproar.
Among them were top treasures.
In the past.
Such existences only appeared at large auctions in places like the Capital City, but now they were all present here.
"Dragon Blood Fruit!"
"This item is very effective for tempering the body, and is essential for refining the Three Treasures Pill, aiding in the advancement of Flawless Martial Artists and Great Mages."
"Even if the advancement fails, the Three Treasures Pill can save your life."
"Price is two thousand taels of gold!"
"Two thousand three hundred taels!"
"Two thousand five hundred taels!"
"..."
In an instant, the venue was in an uproar.
Fang Zheng’s breathing quickened as he had already acquired the other two ingredients for the Three Treasures Pill, only lacking this item.
"Three thousand taels of gold!"
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, and an overwhelming pressure emanated from a corner.
Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Fang Zheng’s raised hand froze, his expression changed repeatedly before he slowly lowered his arm.
His eyes were full of reluctance.
The others were the same, all choosing to give up as well.
Dragon Blood Fruit was only one of the three ingredients for the Three Treasures Pill, and it’s not worth offending a Martial Sect over it.
The auction continued.
"The Five Fire Divine Thunder crafted by the Mo Family’s Saint Hand, this item is refined from the Essence of Five Fires, with unmatched power."
"Within ten zhang, it can kill a Martial Sect!"
"If exerted to its full power, it can turn a li of area into a sea of fire, annihilating all living beings within."
Hmm?
Fang Zheng’s heart jumped, and he suddenly stood up.
He couldn’t stay any longer!
There was definitely something wrong with this auction, even such an item was present; something unexpected was likely to happen next.
"Hero Fang?"
Someone reached out to block him politely,
"Where are you going?"
"I came in a hurry and don’t have much spare money on hand, although the items at this auction are good, I can’t afford them." Fang Zheng shook his head, looking regretful,
"Rather than watch with envy, it’s better to leave early."
"This..." The other person’s face showed hesitation,
"The auction is not over yet; to ensure the information here doesn’t leak, please wait a little longer, Hero Fang."
"In that case..." Fang Zheng thought for a moment,
"Can I wait outside?"
"No problem at all!"
The other person quickly nodded,
"There’s food, wine, and fresh fruit in the front yard, and musicians performing if needed. Feel free to enjoy, Hero Fang."
"Great!"
Fang Zheng agreed, taking steps to leave the venue.
He had just left when others followed suit, finding excuses to leave as well, making the auction crowd sparse.
In the front yard,
"Don’t think you can watch over me with just a few ordinary people, right?"
Seeing more and more people arriving, the maids and servants became busy, and he couldn’t help but shrug and chuckle,
"I’m a Mage, after all."
"Illusion Body Spell!"
Closing his eyes to nourish the spirit in a corner, he secretly formed a seal technique, casting an Illusion Body Spell to bypass the sights of those nearby, while his true body quietly headed outside the manor.
A stick of incense later.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed in all directions.
Fang Zheng, climbing halfway up the mountain, turned back at the sound to see the courtyard he had been in erupting in flames.
"Goodness!"
"That’s equivalent to detonating a massive amount of explosives; fortunately, I left early. Otherwise, staying in the courtyard wouldn’t have been safe."
Shaking his head, he used his Body Technique to dash forward.
Behind him.
Several streams of light shot up from the fiery explosion, with several streams colliding mid-air.
Visible shockwaves blasted from their collision points, sweeping in all directions.
’Terrifying!’
Fang Zheng crouched his body slightly, his heart pounding,
