Chapter 294: Chapter 295: Auction (3rd Update) (Please Bookmark, Tip, and Recommend)

"Seeing Chu Fengmian’s casual tone, Qian Ya felt even more helpless, yet she still began to explain Zhao Chun’s identity."

"This guy, named Zhao Chun, is one of the collateral disciples of the Zhao family. Although he is from a collateral branch, his aptitude isn’t low, so he was assigned to the Invincible Army, the foremost among the four armies of the Qin Emperor’s domain, to serve as a military officer."

"The influence of this Zhao family, in the domain of the Qin Emperor, is even capable of rivaling, and even surpassing, the royal family. Zhao Chun’s grandfather is also a saint of the Zhao family. Today, by making Zhao Chun lose face, the Zhao family certainly won’t let you off."

Observing that Chu Fengmian’s expression was still unchanged, Qian Ya offered her advice:

"Now, if you release Zhao Chun and apologize to him, the Zhao family might not make things too difficult for you, and we from the Twilight Pavilion can also keep you safe."

"Apologize?"

Chu Fengmian suddenly burst into laughter.

In this small Qin Emperor’s domain, there was no one who could make him apologize, not even Zhao Wudi, the first and strongest of the Zhao family.

Moreover, today, it was Zhao Chun who brought this upon himself. No one else was to blame.

"Mister Chu, although your strength is indeed formidable, opposing the Zhao family is still an unwise choice."

Watching Chu Fengmian disregard her advice, Qian Ya became slightly anxious as she urged him.

If it were not for the fact that Chu Fengmian was a major client of their Twilight Pavilion, she wouldn’t want to be persuading him; moreover, Chu Fengmian had offended Zhao Chun because of her, and she still hoped that Chu Fengmian could reconcile with the Zhao family.

"No worries, don’t fret, a mere Zhao family – even if someone dared to come, I’d make them kneel on the ground just the same."

Chu Fengmian sneered repeatedly.

The Zhao family.

Chu Fengmian was just worrying about which family to strike at next when the Zhao family came to him.

It seemed that the five saints Chu Fengmian needed to kill would be selected from the Zhao family.

"Let’s first see what’s at the auction. I am aware of the Zhao family’s matter now."

Chu Fengmian said nonchalantly, shifting his gaze to the auction.

Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Qian Ya could only sigh. Chu Fengmian’s arrogant nature would sooner or later cause him troubles; she could only hope that the Zhao family wouldn’t go too far.

"Hmph, this Zhao family is the most belligerent clan within the Qin Emperor’s domain. They are said to be the ones planning to attack the Wusheng Domain; destroying the Zhao family now could also alleviate the warfare among the six states."

Chu Fengmian thought to himself. He had come to the Qin Emperor’s domain also because of the warfare among the six states.

However, to destroy the Zhao family with Chu Fengmian’s current strength was still insufficient; at the very least, he wasn’t confident enough yet to contend against Zhao Wudi, the top warrior and Grand Marshal of the Qin Emperor’s domain. Chu Fengmian still needed to enhance his own power.

This time at the auction, Chu Fengmian planned to purchase numerous items to increase his strength.

Chu Fengmian calculated various strategies on how to deal with the Zhao family in his mind.

After a while.

The auction started.

Many secretive private boxes, situated high above, overlooked the auction podium below where numerous treasures were brought forth, emitting dazzling radiance.

"That is the Saint’s essence blood."

Chu Fengmian glanced over and saw a large cask on the auction stage, filled with crimson fresh blood.

From it emanated various powers – it was indeed the essence blood of a saint.

This half vat of Sacred Blood almost represented all the Sacred Blood a saint would possess. It looked as if a saint had been seized and his Sacred Blood forcibly extracted to accumulate such an amount.

"I’m still residing within the realm of Controlling Wind, and this Sacred Blood could enhance my strength. It could also integrate its essence into my Slaughter Sword Technique, making it even more powerful. It seems I must buy it."

Chu Fengmian thought inwardly as he looked at the Sacred Blood.

His Slaughter Sword Technique had become meaningless to ordinary martial artists. Only the essence of a saint’s blood could make his Slaughter Sword Technique more formidable.

Perfected to the extreme, the power of the Slaughter Sword Technique could even surpass that of celestial martial techniques. Chu Fengmian, of course, would not cease his training.

"This Sacred Blood is truly a valuable treasure. It can be used to comprehend the Space Law and merge into the body. For a martial artist at the pinnacle of Controlling Wind, integrating this half vat of Sacred Blood could instantly elevate them to a Semi-Saint level, much stronger than ordinary Semi-Saints,"

Qian Ya, standing nearby, glimpsed the Sacred Blood, her eyes lighting up as she tentatively spoke.

"I wonder if Mr. Chu holds any interest in this Sacred Blood."

"As a rare treasure like Sacred Blood greatly interests Chu, I would certainly buy it if the price is reasonable,"

Chu Fengmian said with a smile.

Sacred Blood indeed was useful to him.

"If the Twilight Pavilion has Sacred Blood, you could sell it all to Chu. We can discuss the price,"

Chu Fengmian said with a hearty laugh.

This half vat of Sacred Blood was worth at most about one billion Nine Tripods Pills. To Chu Fengmian, who now possessed wealth of over twenty billion, it could easily be acquired.

Having won another wager with Master Mu, he had obtained materials worth ten billion Nine Tripods Pills, making him extraordinarily wealthy.

"Mr. Chu jokes. Such a rare treasure as Sacred Blood is beyond even the Twilight Pavilion’s reach. It is said this half vat of Sacred Blood came from an ancestor in the Qin Emperor’s realm who captured a saint in the country of Nine Streams,"

Qian Ya chuckled as she spoke.

"Such rare treasures rarely appear even at auctions. This last auction before the Six Nations battle, I fear the price of this Sacred Blood will not be low."

"No matter, however high the price, Chu can afford it. Let’s see who dares to compete with me!"

Chu Fengmian coldly stated, his words brimming with utmost confidence and dominance.

In a competition of wealth, Chu Fengmian was afraid of no one. He simply had to acquire the Sacred Blood.

"Well then, we’ll wait for the good news from Mr. Chu."

Qian Ya said, looking forward to the start of the auction.

Suddenly, an old man appeared on the auction stage, holding a jade box. Before the box was even opened, boundless Spiritual Power emerged around it, filling the auction chamber with the fragrance of Spiritual Medicine.

Chu Fengmian could sense that beneath this essence of Spiritual Power, there was a faint hint of Dragon Might.

"This first item for today! Is exactly the Spiritual Medicine in this jade box!"

The old man’s booming voice filled the entire venue, abruptly opening the jade box.

From within the jade box, a sudden sound of Dragon Roar echoed forth.

"Dragon Birth Grass!"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes instantly brightened. The contents of the jade box were none other than one of the Spiritual Medicines he currently needed most, Dragon Birth Grass. Though its effects were not as powerful as that of Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass, it would greatly boost Chu Fengmian’s enhancement.

Moreover, since Dragon Birth Grass and Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass were of the same origin, their combined medicinal power could be even greater when refined together.
