Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-844

The sudden bid instantly stirred up an uproar throughout the auction
grounds. A Dou Spirit Pill and a Mighty Huang Pill, these two kinds of
medicinal pills were exquisite medicinal pills able to raise the strength
of a Dou Wang and Dou Huang respectively. This kind of medicinal pill
possessed quite a great attraction to some experts present. After all,
when one reached the Dou Wang and Dou Huang class, attempting to raise
one’s strength by one star was not a simple task. Sometimes, it was not
impossible to exhaust a couple years of effort.

A few years of bitter training required one medicinal pill to make up for
it. This was undoubtedly the main reason for these experts to become
crazy right now.

Similar to the Dou Spirit Pill, a medicinal pill like the Mighty Huang
Pill would rarely be taken out by any faction to auction off. After all,
as long as one possessed such a pill, one would be able to raise the
strength of some core experts within one’s sect. This was very
beneficial in terms of overall strength.

Hence, everyone was stunned when they heard that there was actually
someone who would open his mouth to trade these kinds of medicinal pill.
The gazes of the entire auction ground were all turned to a VIP seat.
They all landed on the black-robed person who was slowly standing up. In
an instant, various surprised private conversations began to repeatedly
appear.

The people in the VIP seats were much calmer compared to the many
surprised voices coming from the crowd. After all, they knew that this
mysterious black-robed person was a tier 6 alchemist. Usually, an
alchemist would choose to use medicinal pills in exchange for things
first. However, they still could not resist shaking their heads when they
heard Xiao Yan quoting a Dou Spirit Pill and a Mighty Huang Pill right
from the start since they were both extremely valuable medicinal pills.
He was indeed worthy of being a tier 6 alchemist. This manner of spending
was something that an ordinary person could not compare with.

A Dou Spirit Pill and a Mighty Huang Pill. Given the value of these two
medicinal pills, they would definitely be able to exchange for gold coins
in the range of eight million. This amount was considered quite great.

The white-haired old man on the auction stage sighed in relief in his
heart when he heard someone issue an opening bid. He swept the
perspiration off his forehead without anyone noticing. A thought made its
way into his heart. A Dou Spirit Pill and a Mighty Huang Pill might
indeed be very valuable, but the Magical Beast corpse they were being
used to exchange for appeared to dwarf them. No matter how one put it,
this large fellow was an ultimately a fierce beast that was about to leap
into the 8th rank. Although this ultimately fierce beast had already
turned into a dried corpse, even the might of a tiger would remain after
it died, much less a Magical Beast of this rank.

The white-haired old man threw his gaze toward a certain spot of the
auction ground without leaving a trace while this thought flashed in his
heart. After seeing the person there shake his head, he could only sigh
within his heart. His face was still filled with smiles as his eyes swept
over the VIP seats. He smiled and said, “This mister bids one Dou
Spirit Pill and one Mighty Huang Pill. May I know if anyone is offering a
higher bid?”

“Can I bid one Di class low level Dou Technique?” A hesitant voice
sounded after the white-haired old man’s voice rang out.

The white-haired old man was startled when he heard this. He smiled
bitterly, shook his head, and replied in the direction of the voice,
“I’m sorry, although a Di class Low level Dou Technique is quite
valuable, our Black Emperor Sect still prefers the Dou Spirit Pill and
Mighty Huang Pill.”

The old man who had spoken could only helplessly shake his head when he
heard this. He muttered a couple of words in his mouth before sitting
back down. It was likely that he had lost the interest to issue another
bid for this Magical Beast’s corpse.

After the old man sat down, the people in the VIP seats remained silent.
Many people did not feel an exhilaration from such a gambe. After all, if
they really spent a sky high price to purchase a useless corpse, their
losses would really cause one to have the impulse to smash a wall.

The stomach of the white-haired old man was filled with depression as he
looked at the atmosphere that had become silent once again. A Dou Spirit
Pill and a Mighty Huang Pill were far from the estimated price that the
Black Emperor Sect had placed on this Magical Beast corpse. If they were
to simply sell it like this, they would be the one’s who would suffer a
loss…

While the white-haired old man was depressed, the red-haired Fang Yan and
the couple of Elders beside him in the seats of the Demon Flame Valley
finished their discussion. He slowly stood up in front of a countless
number of gazes.

Fang Yan smiled and cupped his hands in Xiao Yan’s direction. After
which, he spoke to the white-haired old man on the auction stage, “Even
if our Demon Flame Valley had a medicinal pill like the Mighty Huang
Pill, we would definitely not take it out. However, I have a Di class
Middle level Dou Technique here. Don’t be quick to judge. You can wait
until I have told you about its effects before deciding.”

“This Dou Technique is called the ‘Flame Creation Skill’. It is
somewhat harsh to practice. The practitioner must be someone who practice
a fire affinity Qi Method. This kind of Dou Technique would not only
enable a person to swiftly control any flame but it is also able to
transform the Dou Qi within one’s body into an energy flame that is not
real. Of course, this is not what it is praised for. Its greatest use is
that if another person who practices this Dou Technique were to use it at
the same time, the energy flame that is formed can temporarily be merged.
The energy flame after such a merger will transform into an actual flame.
Its strength is extremely shocking and could even be comparable to a
‘Heavenly Flame’! As long as your Black Emperor Sect obtains this Dou
Technique and finds a sufficient number of suitable people to practice
it, the strength of the flame after the merger might really be comparable
to a ‘Heavenly Flame’…”

Fang Yan’s faint words immediately stirred quite the large commotion
the moment they sounded in the auction grounds. This kind of powerful Dou
Technique that could form something comparable to a ‘Heavenly Flame’
after merging was something that they had never heard of. Most of the
people seated knew what a ‘Heavenly Flame’ was. They had also heard a
little about the frightening might of this thing. Hence, the sound of
exclamations repeatedly sounded within the auction grounds.

This so-called ‘Flame Creation Skill’ had also caused Xiao Yan’s
heart to suddenly leap while it stirred a commotion within the auction
ground. He did not have much interest in the merger of the flames to
create a ‘Heavenly Flame’ that Fang Yan had spoken about. The thing
that caused him to be interested was the sentence ‘enable a person to
swiftly control any flame’…

There were many flames within Xiao Yan’s body and there might be even
more in the future. How he was going to control these ‘Heavenly
Flames’ was his greatest problem. A ‘Heavenly Flame’ was originally
wild and violent. Controlling one exhausted an unnatural amount of
strength. Normally speaking, Xiao Yan would have to spend a large amount
of time and effort in order to control a ‘Heavenly Flame’ after
obtaining one. Moreover, as more ‘Heavenly Flames’ were merged in the
future, controlling them all would naturally be very troublesome. If he
possessed this ‘Flame Creation Skill’, it was likely that this skill
would provide Xiao Yan with lots of help when that time came…

If Xiao Yan’s heart was not rational, might have turned his head and
exchanged for the ‘Flame Creation Skill’ in that fellow’s hands
this instant. After all, this thing might be of critical importance to
him in the future.

The white-haired old man, who was initially disappointed, could not
resist nodding his head unnecessarily after hearing the marvellous
effects of this ‘Flame Creation Skill’.

“Ke ke, I’m afraid that Elder Fang Yan has not revealed everything,
no? Although the old me has been in a retreat for many years, I am also
aware of some of the matters in the Demon Flame Valley. This ‘Flame
Creation Skill’ might be marvellous but each time one uses his energy
for the merger, it will cause the user to suffer an everlasting harm.
Once or twice is fine. However, if it is used a couple more times, it is
likely that one would just die. My Black Emperor Sect does not have so
many experts to deplete in such a manner. Therefore, this Dou Technique
of yours might be quite good, but it does not have much use to our Black
Emperor Sect.” A faint old laugh suddenly sounded just as the
white-haired old man was hesitating. A golden figure immediately appeared
on the auction stage in a strange manner. Everyone looked over and found
that it was actually the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect, Mo Tian
Xing.

Fang Yan was also startled when he saw that Mo Tian Xing decided to
appear in such a sudden manner. He immediately laughed in a somewhat
embarrassed manner before rubbing his nose and saying, “Since sect
leader Mo is not interested in this Dou Technique, we’ll just forget
about it. Coincidentally, I was feeling somewhat uncertain in my heart.
Should I pay a great price to purchase a useless corpse, it is likely
that the sect leader would give me a vicious scolding.”

Fang Yan sat back in his chair after speaking these words full of hidden
mockery. From the looks of his manner, it seemed that he was unwilling to
place another competing bid for this Magical Beast corpse.

Mo Tian Xing knit his brows when he heard these words of Fang Yan. A
faint chill quietly appeared in his eyes. Immediately, he threw a
friendly gaze to Xiao Yan and laughed as he said, “This friend.
Everyone here are wise men. Although there is quite a great risk in
auctioning for this Magical Beast corpse, you will reap a huge reward if
there is really something within it. Hence, the old me has personally
come forward. If you are able to take out five Dou Spirit Pills and four
Mighty Huang Pills, this Magical Beast corpse shall be left to you to
deal with.”

Mo Tian Xing’s words caused an uproar within the auction ground. Quite
a number of people involuntarily rolled their eyes. This old fellow
really knew how to rip someone off. Five Dou Spirit Pills and four Mighty
Huang Pills… why doesn’t he just go and die? How could one state such
a price?

“Three Dou Spirit Pills and one Mighty Huang Pill.” Xiao Yan, who was
wrapped within a black robe, faintly replied amid the uproar.

“Four Dou Spirit Pills and three Mighty Huang Pills.” Mo Tian Xing
knit his brows and responded in a deep voice.

“Does sect leader Mo think that it is so easy to refine medicinal
pills?” Xiao Yan laughed as he said, “I shall not bargain with you
any longer. Three Dou Spirit Pills and two Mighty Huang Pills. Honestly
speaking, I am in the same boat as everyone else. I don’t possess much
boldness to engage in such a gamble. After all, who knows if the interior
of the Magical Beast is just a pile of dried rotten flesh?

Mo Tian Xing frowned after being viciously checkmated by Xiao Yan. He
mused for a long while before finally nodding his head in front of many
stunned gazes.

“Alright, we’ll accept your offer!”

The corner of Mo Tian Xing’s mouth was quietly lifted into a pleasing
smile without anyone noticing the moment he nodded. However, he did not
discover that Xiao Yan, who was covered by black robes, had also lifted a
cold smile onto his lips.
