Alchemy Master

Chapter 921, Mutual Destruction

Translator: Silavin

In Radiance Sacred Land’s private hall, Chen Feng’s expression was as gloomy as water. Waves of violent aura vaguely rippled from around his body. The numerous Radiance Sacred Land Disciples in the private hall all had pale faces, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Although Radiance Sacred Land was wealthy, seven thousand Spirit Liquid was no small number for Chen Feng.

Most importantly, he had brought only just over two hundred vials of Spirit Liquid this time. This expenditure took away nearly half, likely causing them to miss the Heaven Ascension Token!

And this, calculated properly, was all his mistake.

“Sacred Master Candidate…” Behind Chen Feng, a Disciple with relatively high seniority, frowned. His expression also appeared rather ugly.

Chen Feng clenched his hand tightly. This time was truly a loss outweighing the gain. He had wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Qin Yichen, but ended up suffering even greater losses himself.

He was furious!

But this was the Ancient Jade Pavilion. Even he could only knock out his own teeth and swallow them with the blood.

“Damn brat! When he leaves Saints City, I’ll make him pay double!” Chen Feng suppressed the murderous aura in his heart. Only his eyes remained terrifyingly gloomy. Fortunately, however, he vaguely sensed that he very much needed this item purchased with seven thousand Spirit Liquid.

“Rest assured, Sacred Master Candidate. They only have Mu Yanfeng from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. We’ll help the Sacred Master Candidate hold him back. When that time comes, won’t that brat be at your mercy?” Beside Chen Feng, several Disciples’ lips curled into vicious smiles.

Hearing this, Chen Feng’s gloomy expression finally eased slightly. He sneered coldly, his gaze returning to the auction platform.

At this time, the auction had obviously gradually approached its conclusion.

Under countless gazes, the final centrepiece item finally slowly appeared on the auction platform. This time, it wasn’t brought up by beautiful attendants, but personally carried by a white-bearded, white-haired Elder.

With this Elder’s appearance, the atmosphere throughout the entire auction hall suddenly condensed, as if the air itself had become extremely heavy due to his presence.

[A Half-Saint… Is he the one who spoke earlier?] Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he secretly admired Ancient Jade Pavilion’s foundation.

A jade pendant like a key was placed on the auction platform, drawing countless burning gazes.

The inheritance of the Heaven Ascension Great Saint, just thinking about it drove countless people mad.

If not for the incomparable pressure brought by the Elder beside it, making everyone rationally aware that taking action here would be tantamount to seeking death, quite a few people would be unable to resist snatching it away.

Yilin on the auction platform bowed respectfully to the Elder, then slowly said. “Heaven Ascension Token, starting auction price, ten thousand Spirit Liquid!”

As these words emerged, the entire venue immediately froze, followed by waves of gasps resounding throughout.

Ten thousand Spirit Liquid!? Such an enormous amount could probably only be produced by those Top Forces.

When hearing this auction price, Qin Yichen could not help but glance at Mu Yanfeng. Sure enough, the latter exhaled deeply, obviously realising that even if he had not lent the Spirit Liquid to Qin Yichen, he probably would not be able to compete for it.

Although this price was so high that countless people could only watch from afar, there were still quite a few well-prepared Major Forces opening their mouths to compete.

Moreover, this competition was even more intense than before, because many Top Forces had been concealing their strength before, waiting for this moment.

For a time, voices from several Top Forces rose and fell in the auction hall. The continuously climbing price made countless people envious.

In just a few minutes, the Heaven Ascension Token’s price had already reached seventeen thousand Spirit Liquid. At this point, aside from Black Nihility Sacred Land and Roaring Heaven Sacred Land, no one else could compete with them.

Meanwhile, Radiance Sacred Land, because Chen Feng had previously used seven thousand Spirit Liquid to purchase that killing weapon, had already lost the qualification to compete.

Finally, the Heaven Ascension Token was acquired by Black Nihility Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate Xuan Mingge for nineteen thousand.

This terrifying price caused countless Forces to marvel. Indeed, Black Nihility Sacred Land had travelled thousands of kilometres here precisely for the Heaven Ascension Token.

Watching this scene, Mu Yanfeng also shook his head secretly. Only now did he realise the gap between Brilliant Sky Sacred Land and the other Sacred Lands.

After all, in other Sacred Lands, places similar to Saints City had their various revenues divided equally among the Sacred Lands. But in the Saints City, of the three Sacred Lands, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land could only compete for one-tenth of the revenue rights, and had even lost to other Top Forces several times.

Ultimately, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s foundation was too weak.

“Sacred Master Candidate, why aren’t you bidding?” In Roaring Heaven Sacred Land’s private hall, an Elder asked Lin Fengying somewhat puzzledly.

Nineteen thousand Spirit Liquid, though this was an astronomical figure, Roaring Heaven Sacred Land’s Sacred Master had made thorough preparations this time. Though this price was hard to accept, it still was not their limit.

“Hehe, giving the Heaven Ascension Token to Black Nihility Sacred Land might not necessarily be a bad thing.”

Lin Fengying smiled calmly.

The Elder beside Lin Fengying looked at him, his expression very puzzled.

“The Heaven Ascension Token is the entrance to the Heaven Ascension Great Saint’s inheritance. Although he’s called the Heaven Ascension Great Saint, the term ‘Great Saint’ is merely a respectful title given by the world to Heaven Ascension. He merely broke through the Saint Realm. How could he deserve to be called a Great Saint?”

“The Sacred Master investigated the Heaven Ascension Token and discovered that the Yuan Energy it can contain is all below the Martial Ancestor Realm. In other words, perhaps only those at the Martial Emperor Realm holding the Heaven Ascension Token can enter his inheritance site.”

“Although our Sacred Land has talented people in abundance, Disciples below the Martial Ancestor Realm are rather ordinary. Outstanding individuals are extremely rare. One Heaven Ascension Token is already enough for us.”

Lin Fengying smiled lightly and shook his head.

Amidst everyone’s discussion, the auction in the venue had concluded. The Heaven Ascension Token ultimately fell into the hands of Black Nihility Sacred Land’s Xuan Mingge for nineteen thousand drops of Spirit Liquid.

As the closing bell’s resonance sounded, quite a few people in the auction hall sighed, looking rather enviously at Xuan Mingge, who had secured the Heaven Ascension Token.

While everyone was still savouring the auction and Yilin’s every smile and frown, Qin Yichen had already stood up with a calm expression, directly taking Feng Qianxue and turning to leave.

Chen Feng watched their retreating figures, a cold gleam flashing through his eyes.

“Send people to watch that brat. I want to know his every move. Although we can’t act openly in Saints City, once they leave, I’ll immediately let him know that some people are not ones he can afford to offend!” Chen Feng’s icy voice rang out.

Behind him, several Disciples hastily nodded and departed from the side.
