Chapter 83: Chapter 75 Auction Information

In the inner hall of Danxin Palace.

Li Yun looked at Ye Chen’s somewhat dazed expression and couldn’t help but chuckle, "What’s the matter, my friend Ye Chen? Still not recovered from being kissed by a beauty?"

Ye Chen touched his cheek that had been kissed as if he could still feel the soft touch and warmth, and smiled wryly, "I really didn’t expect Vivian to kiss me. I thought it was some kind of gift."

"Blockhead!"

Li Yun and Elder Yan, who was emanating from the ring, had the same thought: being kissed by a beautiful woman should be an occasion for happiness.

Shaking his head and not wanting to continue on this topic, Ye Chen first turned to Li Yun with a cupped fist and a smile, "I forgot to congratulate you, Li Yun, on being promoted to a Second Star Alchemist. It’s really joyous and praiseworthy."

Although it had been some time since the promotion to Second Star Alchemist, Li Yun was still very happy every time he received congratulations. After all, it had been decades of alchemy practice to finally achieve this step; it was indeed rare.

His face was full of smiles as he said, "If not for Mr. Qian bestowing me with the Refining God’s Method, my promotion would have been much slower, taking at least a year."

The Refining God’s Method was indeed miraculous. While experience was important for alchemists looking to be promoted to higher levels, what was even more critical was spiritual power. The higher the spiritual power, the higher the success rate of alchemy, and the more beneficial it was for understanding alchemy knowledge.

Generally speaking, the growth of spiritual power could only be achieved through the advancement of cultivation, but the Refining God’s Method was capable of enhancing spiritual power, providing a shortcut to rapid achievement.

Unfortunately, the Refining God’s Method was too rare, requiring an Alchemy Master with considerable achievements to create this spiritual method. Otherwise, alchemists wouldn’t find it so difficult to advance in rank.

Ye Chen chuckled, and Li Yun didn’t ask for any news about the mysterious Mr. Qian.

On one hand, he knew his place: If Ye Chen wanted to share, he would naturally do so, and if not, he couldn’t force it. Nevertheless, his reverence for Mr. Qian grew ever deeper.

After having a cup of tea, Ye Chen finally broached the subject, "Li Yun, do you have all the medicinal materials that teacher asked you to prepare?"

Li Yun smiled slightly and with a light clap of his hands, five youthful and attractive Danxin Palace Maids came forward, each presenting a beautifully embroidered jade box measuring half a meter in length and as wide as a palm, and placed them on the table.

Upon opening them, each was filled with precious spiritual medicines, and there were even several especially valuable Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, with spiritual energy overflowing, and the age and quality of the medicinal materials were of top-notch grade and hard to come by.

The ingredients in just these five jade boxes were likely worth no less than two hundred thousand gold coins, much higher than the initial estimate of one hundred thousand gold coins.

Because back then, Ye Chen didn’t have money, and he planned to buy mid-grade materials, so these high-grade materials naturally cost much more.

Li Yun said, "My friend Ye Chen, these are the medicinal materials that I’ve collected after returning to the Royal Capital. They are almost all gathered, except for two types of materials, which even the power of Danxin Palace cannot procure."

Ye Chen couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

Every Alchemist held influence, and Danxin Palace was an organization that gathered nearly all of the alchemists in Xiafeng Country, with an immense influence that was unimaginable. Nearly every power in Xiafeng Country had to give them some face, and there shouldn’t be much that they couldn’t accomplish, especially in terms of obtaining medicinal materials. But to still lack two types of materials was quite unbelievable.

Li Yun seemed to anticipate Ye Chen’s thoughts and gave a wry smile, "It’s not that Danxin Palace’s influence isn’t enough within the country; it’s that the remaining two types of medicinal materials are too rare to be found in the whole of Xiafeng Country. Even if other countries had them, Danxin Palace’s influence is significant within Xiafeng, but it decreases many times over once outside. Thus, obtaining them becomes much more difficult."

Ye Chen naturally understood that Danxin Palace, though an organization of alchemists, was only within Xiafeng Country. Its influence, no matter how great, was limited to within the country’s borders, and once outside, it would diminish significantly.

After all, the powers within Xiafeng Country dared not offend Danxin Palace, but those outside had no such concerns.

Ye Chen asked, "Is there really no information on these two types of medicinal materials?"

Li Yun chuckled, "Although we haven’t managed to gather them, we have more or less secured some accurate news about one of the medicinal materials, and it’s quite certain."

"What news?"

"In half a month, there will be a grand auction held in the Royal Capital. According to reliable information within Danxin Palace, the Nine Soul Heart Refining Grass will appear in the auction," Li Yun said.

The Nine Soul Heart Refining Grass was an extremely rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, rumored to have the power to resurrect the dead and heal life-threatening wounds, with incredible miraculous effects.

While rumors often exaggerated the truth, this material was indeed one of the main ingredients for refining the Refining God Pill and was indispensable.

"Auction event?" Ye Chen’s eyes flickered with interest, seemingly tempted.

"Indeed, this auction event is claimed to be unprecedented, and countless powers, big and small, across Xiafeng Country will attend. It’s not to be underestimated."

According to Li Yun’s description, the upcoming auction was truly unparalleled because every item to be auctioned was anything but ordinary, each described as priceless and rare, with the Nine Soul Heart Refining Grass being just one of them.

There would also be many other treasures soon to reveal themselves to the world, such as the Innate Demon Pill, Martial God Weapon, Heavenly God Talisman, and Heavenly Divine Blood, all unimaginable and invaluable to mortals.

Even though it hadn’t officially begun, it already attracted the attention of countless pairs of eyes from all over the world.

"Mind you," Li Yun added in the end, "this auction won’t be simple. Rumor has it that some extraordinary and priceless secret treasures will make their appearance."

"What secret treasures?" Curiosity piqued in Ye Chen.

Li Yun’s tone turned mysteriously secretive as he lowered his voice and enunciated each word, "Divine-level secret treasures!"

Ye Chen’s pupils shrank to the size of needlepoints at the last sentence.

What were Divine-level secret treasures? These were said to be treasures only feasible for beings surpassing the Heavenly Divine Realm, the supreme beings worthy of being called Divine, entities that were legendary throughout the entire Tiandu Continent and worshipped by countless as Divine beings.

Divine beings had the power to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth, almost omnipotent, capable of obliterating thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with a mere gesture, a horror beyond imagination.

Each secret treasure left by these Divine beings was a treasure beyond value, one that even those in the Heavenly Divine Realm would desperately covet.

Even Ye Chen was moved, and he silently communicated, "Elder Yan, what’s your take on this?"

Elder Yan materialized and said, "Although these so-called Divine-level secret treasures are probably Saint’s secret treasures, which you and I wouldn’t have cared about in our prime, at this juncture, I think it is worth obtaining. It should be of great use."

Ye Chen agreed, believing that Divine-level secret treasures, at the very least the precious treasures of a legendary Saint, would undoubtedly be of unimaginable importance to his current situation.

Subsequently, Ye Chen turned to Li Yun and said, "I assume my teacher will be attending this auction event. I wonder if you could arrange a spot for him?"

"Mr. Qian is coming, too!?" Li Yun replied with great delight, immediately agreeing, "You need not worry about this, my friend. With Danxin Palace’s influence in Xiafeng Country, securing not just one but even ten or eight places won’t be an issue."

"No need, the teacher will come in person, and I have matters to attend to and cannot go," Ye Chen said.

"Good, when Mr. Qian arrives, just find me, and I will personally take him and arrange a private box," said Li Yun.

After agreeing on matters concerning the auction, Ye Chen learned of both the date and location of the event.

At the very end, Li Yun suddenly said, "Young friend Ye Chen, be careful lately. A terrible event is about to happen."

Ye Chen’s interest was piqued, and he asked, "Are you referring to the turmoil of the Demon Beasts?"

"Correct," Li Yun said. "An extremely important treasure has gone missing from the Demon Beast Mountain Range. There’s a terrifying presence threatening Xiafeng Country. If it’s not recovered within a month, it will unleash the most horrific Demon Beast turmoil in history. When that happens, every town near the Demon Beast Mountain Range, including Luofeng City, will suffer."

"I would advise you to ensure that your parents and clan leave Luofeng City. Even if it’s not the main target, it will still be dangerously affected if the turmoil starts."

"I understand, rest assured, I will take care of it," Ye Chen replied.

"In that case, I can rest easy," said Li Yun. He then handed over a token to Ye Chen, claiming it to be a Danxin Palace token. Possession of this token would ensure that even the Royal Family would offer respect.

Ye Chen did not refuse; with this token in hand, he would find things much more convenient within Xiafeng Country.

Finally, having collected all the medicinal materials, Ye Chen was about to leave when he sent a streak of light flickering towards Li Yun with a flick of his finger. Li Yun caught it, revealing it to be a Memory Jade. He couldn’t help feeling excited, murmuring, "Could this be..."

"You guessed right, it’s the latter part of the Refining God’s Method." Ye Chen’s figure flashed to the doorway and said, "I am very satisfied with you. My master said that once we have enough medicinal materials, we’d give it to you. Although we’re still two materials short, I don’t blame you. Besides, my master also mentioned that if you satisfy him, he will bestow upon you an even superior Refining God’s Method. I hope you won’t disappoint my master."

Overcome with emotion, Li Yun immediately knelt down and hurriedly said, "My friend, please assure Mr. Qian that I shall not disappoint him."

Yet Ye Chen’s silhouette had already vanished into the distance...
