Alchemy Master

Chapter 918, Don’t Think I Didn’t Hear You

“What? Candy!?” Mu Yanfeng and Mu Yanzhen immediately looked at him.

Qin Yichen likewise glared at him with ill intent, as if the moment he let something slip, he would make him pay.

Toward Li Yuanba, he had never been stingy. Every time, he prepared ample Pills for Li Yuanba. This was also why Li Yuanba could still live until now despite constantly causing trouble.

“Hehe, nothing, nothing.” Understanding Qin Yichen’s meaning, Li Yuanba chuckled foolishly.

He hardly dared to imagine how he would survive in the future without Qin Yichen’s Pills.

However, even with Li Yuanba saying this, it still made the Mu Yanfeng Siblings suspicious.

Mu Yanfeng even suspected whether he had traded ten Peak Grade Spirit Seeds for ten candy beans.

Only after confirming again that it was indeed Compound Pill with three medicinal properties did he feel slightly reassured.

Though Compound Pills had not spread widely yet, he knew that currently, only two-property Compound Pills existed in the Sacred Lands, and even those were extremely limited.

If he took this Pill before those wealthy old fossils at the Pill Hall, wouldn’t they bury him in Peak Grade Spirit Seeds?

Thinking this way, his slightly uncomfortable heart improved somewhat.

However, he soon heard Li Yuanba whisper to Mu Yanzhen. “Yanzhen, your Brother’s Pills aren’t even as good as candy. I have better ones. I’ll give you several boxes later…”

“Li Yuanba, don’t think I didn’t hear you!” Mu Yanfeng almost gnashed his teeth glaring at him.

[Couldn’t he just feel better for a moment!? What do you mean ‘not even as good as candy!? And you’re giving away several boxes at once!?]

Mu Yanfeng’s eyes had turned red.

“Ah?” Li Yuanba looked up blankly. “Did I say something? I didn’t say anything. Yanzhen, isn’t that right…”

Qin Yichen held his forehead, indicating his head hurt.

Li Yuanba, whose intelligence was not high to begin with, now deeply immersed in passionate love, had seen his IQ drop even further in a straight line. It had reached a truly worrying stage.

The auction continued, still blazing with enthusiasm.

Under Yilin’s verbal enticement, remarkably, not a single item failed to sell.

This had to be said, was a testament to this woman’s capabilities.

Qin Yichen made several bids, spending over two hundred drops of Spirit Liquid to purchase several spirit medicines he needed.

However, the much-anticipated Heaven Ascension Token had not yet appeared. Presumably, Ancient Jade Pavilion had definitely saved it as the final item.

Moreover, what gave Qin Yichen quite a headache was that the Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi also had not appeared yet. He knew that the later the auction items appeared, the higher the price one would have to pay. Most critically, people from several other Sacred Lands and some Major Forces had yet to make a single bid.

And Qin Yichen’s Spirit Liquid had already been used up almost entirely. When he looked toward Mu Yanfeng again, the latter directly tightened his sleeves, clearly seeing through Qin Yichen’s intent and was unwilling to produce more Spirit Liquid.

Under Yilin’s hosting, the auction house’s atmosphere remained extremely heated. After the auction had proceeded for nearly a full hour, Qin Yichen’s gaze finally brightened with the appearance of an auction item.

On the auction platform, beside Yilin, a dazzling radiance appeared. Within that radiance, what seemed like an extremely scorching flame rose up. The temperature throughout the entire auction house suddenly spiked.

A peculiar fluctuation vaguely emanated through the light sphere. Everyone was shocked to discover their Yuan Energy had a burning sensation, as if about to ignite.

However, some cultivators with Fire Element Martial Souls experienced the exact opposite. They felt all their pores greedily absorbing the unusual fluctuations in the air, it was incomparably comfortable.

Beside Qin Yichen, Feng Qianxue’s glass-like eyes also flickered with a trace of astonished delight.

The entire auction house became somewhat quiet for a moment. Countless gazes stared intently at that radiance on the auction platform. In the depths of that glow, some sharp-eyed people could vaguely see a spirit medicine burning with flames.

Even the side halls of several Sacred Lands, which rarely bid competitively, had people unable to restrain themselves from standing up, clearly stirred by this item.

“This is the Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi. I believe everyone understands its rarity. I won’t introduce it further. Starting auction price, one thousand Spirit Liquid.”

The moment Yilin’s words fell, they immediately triggered a wave of clamour.

This exorbitant price made countless people shrink back. This was merely the starting price. Based on previous transaction prices that had multiplied several times over, this Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi would definitely be driven to a terrifyingly expensive level.

A base price of one thousand Spirit Liquid… probably only those First Tier Forces with deep foundations and the Sacred Lands could compete for it. Yet still, countless people could not help their envious gazes. After all, for a Fire Element Martial Soul cultivator, this item was far too precious.

“One thousand two hundred Spirit Liquid!”

Moments later, a bidding voice rang out from the crowd below.

Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen could not help but sink inwardly. [The first bid increased by two hundred. After this brutal competition, who knew what terrifying level the final price would reach…]

“Senior Brother Mu…” Qin Yichen rubbed his nose, somewhat embarrassed as he looked toward Mu Yanfeng.

“No! Not a bloody chance!” Hearing his voice, Mu Yanfeng’s face darkened as he flatly refused.

“Well… Senior Brother Mu, you must know this item is truly important for Qianxue.” Qin Yichen coughed dryly, his face full of flattery.

Hearing his words, Mu Yanfeng could not help but glance at Feng Qianxue. A trace of struggle flickered through his eyes, but he still did not agree to Qin Yichen’s request. He did not even bother replying, afraid of falling into his trap again.

“Moreover, as a Senior Brother, you should at least prepare a meeting gift, right? In my opinion, giving this item would truly demonstrate your bearing as a Sacred Master!”

Qin Yichen chuckled dryly. His expression suddenly turned serious as he spoke with righteous conviction.

Hearing these flattering words, Mu Yanfeng’s mouth twitched.

[Sacred Master? I’m just a Sacred Master Candidate! Though it’s only one word different, the status gap is Heaven and Earth. Besides, aren’t you also a Sacred Master Candidate?]

“Indeed, I think so too!” Beside them, Li Yuanba also nodded in full agreement, quite seriously.

Hearing this, Mu Yanfeng’s expression suddenly turned cold. Without another word, he directly swung a fist.

“*Hmph!* I’ve wanted to challenge you for a long time…” Seeing this, excitement flashed through Li Yuanba’s eyes. Blocking the punch with one hand, he prepared for a great battle. Just as he was about to leap up, he suddenly felt a piercing pain transmit from his arm.
