Chapter 122: Chapter 112: Difficult Problem (2nd Update)

There was an abundant amount of information within the Memory Jade, all pertaining to the upcoming auction event.

As Ye Chen’s spiritual power delved into it, various pieces of information swiftly became clear in his mind.

Moments later, after all the information had flowed through his heart and he had organized it, Ye Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

This auction could be described as an unprecedented peak event in Xiafeng Country, since none of the items up for auction were simple. Even the Innate Demon Core could be considered the most common item, and there was even a possibility of the appearance of items such as Martial God Demon Pill and even Heavenly God Pill.

Furthermore, rumors that the final key item was a legendary Divine Secret Treasure drew not only local powers from within Xiafeng Country but also forces from abroad.

It was known that potentially more than twenty kingdoms had indicated that they would send representatives to participate in the auction, apart from the major empires and some first-rate forces.

Even more astonishing was the credible information Danxin Palace had obtained through unknown channels: that the Three Great Empires and a University from the central part of the Tiandu Continent—four of the super forces—were rumored to be sending representatives to the auction.

Although these were just rumors, there was truth to the saying that there’s no smoke without fire; this rumor was believed to be more than half true.

Should this rumor prove true, it would elevate this auction to the highest-tier spectacle across the continent.

An auction that could attract the Three Great Empires and a University to send representatives wasn’t something light. Such gravity spoke volumes—this wasn’t something that the dominant super forces tenanted without significant cause.

Moreover, if these four super forces were to participate, many variables would come into play.

After reviewing all this information, Ye Chen’s brows knitted together. Even though he had prepared a substantial budget of 870,000 Gold Coins, he felt that it wouldn’t suffice given the unprecedented scale of the event—participation might require wealth amounting to tens of millions.

But such astronomical wealth was beyond reach even for the so-called magnates within the Royal Capital; even the Royal Family might struggle to muster such a grand sum. Where could he possibly gather such an amount?

However, Li Yun seemed less worried as he said, "Ye Chen, in terms of finances, I can help raise a portion for you. We shouldn’t worry too much about that. What we should really be concerned about is how to face the four super forces."

This was indeed the most worrisome point.

Anyone truly familiar with the Three Great Empires and the University knew full well the terrifying depth of these four super forces. Previously, each had ruled over the entire Tiandu Continent, and though they no longer retained their past glory, their foundation was still incredibly formidable—far surpassing those grand empires and kingdoms.

The participation of the four super forces would add many uncertainties to the entire auction event, and it was highly probable that the final crowning treasure would end up with one of the super forces.

It wasn’t just because of their massive wealth but also because very few forces would dare offend these super powers; indeed, angering them could mean obliteration from the continent overnight, turning a kingdom among many into mere traces in history.

Even if one possesses wealth comparative to that of the four super forces at the auction, how many could truly afford to challenge them?

Ye Chen shook his head, "We needn’t worry about that."

For many, this was indeed a crucial issue—even with sufficient wealth to bid, who would dare challenge the four super forces at the auction?

Unfortunately, what was most worrisome to others wasn’t a problem for Ye Chen at all; with the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order in hand, he could solve everything.

Hongtian Great Saint, an ancient deity who dominates Six Harmonies and Eight Desolates, even the four super forces wouldn’t dare to offend him as he was one of the strongest entities across the continent, challenging him would result in heavy losses.

Having the Heavenly Slaying Alliance Leader Order meant that everyone had to show respect.

Li Yun was taken aback, wondering where Ye Chen got his confidence from to not fear the four super forces, but then he thought of the mysterious Mr. Qian. Even now, he still felt Mr. Qian’s unfathomable depth, perhaps Ye Chen’s confidence stemmed from Mr. Qian.

Although he still did not fully understand who Mr. Qian was, someone who could casually gift the Refining God’s Method must have an extraordinarily powerful background, far beyond just a Three-star Alchemist.

Even the Chief Alchemy Master of the Royal Palace had never shown such generosity in giving away the Refining God’s Method so freely.

Pausing, Li Yun said, "Ye Chen, there’s something worth noting about attending the auction event—the final few Divine Items won’t likely be simple money transactions. It might involve bartering of goods as equivalents."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, his expression somewhat solemn. The information within the Memory Jade also mentioned that true Divine Items could not simply be traded for money, as they were truly priceless and could not be measured in mere wealth.

The final auction, especially for the rumored Divine Secret Treasures, could not happen without the corresponding secret treasures.

At this moment, the test for everyone was not the amount of money possessed, but the value of the treasures they carried and whether they were worthy of trade.

As for this, Ye Chen ultimately felt somewhat lacking in confidence, as he had arrived in this world for too short a time and had almost lost all the secret treasures from his previous life, except for the Human Emperor Tower.

But the Human Emperor Tower was a true supreme treasure, with few in the world that could compare, and it was naturally impossible for Ye Chen to bring it to the auction. Thus, this had become a major problem.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but say, "Elder Yan, what do you think I should do?"

Elder Yan thought for a moment and said, "If there is no supreme treasure available, then trade using Divine Power Magic Techniques. I believe the Divine Power Secret Techniques you possess would still be considered the most pinnacle and supreme even in the Tiandu Continent."

Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes lit up instantly. How had he not thought of this method himself? Perhaps it was the confusion of being too involved to think clearly momentarily.

In his previous life, as a generation’s Supreme, the Magic Techniques he possessed were certainly not few, and those that had caught his eye were all truly supreme Divine Power, any one of which could be regarded as the highest in the entire Tiandu Continent.

Such Supreme Divine Power would likely make the divinities of Tiandu Continent envious and covetous.

Soon, the problem was resolved.

After discussing for a while, Li Yun cautiously asked, "Young friend Ye Chen, when will Mr. Qian appear in the Royal Capital? I would like to prepare and give Mr. Qian a proper welcome."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No need, my teacher will not attend the auction."

"Why?" Li Yun was quite astonished; wasn’t it mentioned before that he would participate in this auction? Why was it now being said that he would not?

"My teacher mentioned that he had some matters to attend to recently and couldn’t attend the auction, so he temporarily asked me to attend on his behalf," Ye Chen said.

Hearing this, Li Yun nodded, "Rest assured, young friend Ye Chen. I will bring you into the auction when the time comes."

Shuangshuang, who was watching their conversation, couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher, Brother Ye Chen, who exactly is Mr. Qian? He sounds very mysterious."

"Shuangshuang, don’t speak carelessly about Mr. Qian," Li Yun’s face changed slightly, and then he looked apologetically towards Ye Chen, saying, "Young friend Ye Chen, please don’t blame Shuangshuang. She doesn’t quite understand Mr. Qian."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "There’s no need to worry about this. Shuangshuang, Mr. Qian is my teacher."

"Sorry," Shuangshuang playfully stuck out her pink tongue, appearing cute and innocent.

Li Yun suddenly laughed heartily, "But truly, young friend Ye Chen is remarkable. A hero emerges from youth, and even the reluctant must acknowledge."

Ye Chen was startled, "What do you mean?"

"Young friend Ye Chen, there’s no need to hide it. I know the Demon Beast turmoil ended because of you," Li Yun laughed, his information gathering capabilities unprecedentedly strong due to the Danxin Palace, enabling him to know immediately about the various situations in Demon Suppression City.

Indeed, it was quite a shock for him, as Ye Chen’s appearance had led to the early end of the most terrible Demon Beast turmoil in history.

Subsequently, he couldn’t help but think of the mysterious Mr. Qian. Although Ye Chen had outstanding talent, whether in cultivation or alchemy, he was still relatively young. Truly able to end the Demon Beast turmoil was likely no one other than the mysterious Mr. Qian.

Regarding this, Ye Chen shook his head, "All this was the work of my master; I was merely passing through."

Such unnecessary glory, he naturally wouldn’t take on himself; he directed it all toward his subtly present teacher.

Indeed, as such, Li Yun sighed lightly, he had guessed as much.

"By the way, young friend Ye Chen, would you be interested in this?" Li Yun suddenly remembered something and extended a finger, emitting a streak of golden light.

Ye Chen casually received it; it was a gold-plated invitation with a clear line of large characters embossed on it—Dragon Phoenix Alchemy Conference!
