Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 766: Chapter 766 Mysterious Expert?_1

Yun Ya, although not as skilled as this elder in alchemy, also discerned the hidden implications in Ling Xiao’s words and exclaimed in surprise, ”Young master, these medicinal herbs are not available at the moment, but with martial artists from all walks gathering in the Holy City, among them are practitioners with spiritual medicines, and they might have what you’re looking for.”

”Once we acquire these medicinal ingredients, we will definitely deliver them to your door.”

Her words were skillfully crafted, not directly inquiring about Ling Xiao’s residence, but using the delivery of medicinal materials as a pretext to probe indirectly.

However, Ling Xiao clearly understood her intentions.

Ling Xiao replied with a slight smile, ”That won’t be necessary, I will be present at tomorrow’s auction, and naturally, I will bring enough Spirit Stones. We can just conduct the transaction here then.”

After finishing his words, he stood up, cupped his hands in farewell, and left.

”Someone!

Yun Ya softly called out, and a figure flashed out from the dark corner, having previously revealed no presence at all.

”Your Highness, the Princess!”

”Follow him, but do not startle the snake by hitting the grass, and do not offend him!” Yun Ya said calmly.

”Your subordinate obeys!”

The shadow quickly vanished into the corner.

After the person left, Yun Ya’s brows knit slightly as she turned to the old man beside her and asked, ”Uncle Royal, you are an alchemist whose skills are not inferior to Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord. Are those medicinal ingredients just mentioned related to the Heavenly Pulse Pill?”

”Hehe, little Yun Ya, you are truly perceptive. Those ingredients are indeed related to the Heavenly Pulse Pill, but at the very least, one would need a High-level Alchemist of the Yellow Rank to ensure a success rate of seventy to eighty percent,” replied the white-bearded elder with a smile, yet he also furrowed his brows, adding, ”If I’m not mistaken, the young man is not just any low-level alchemist of the Yellow Rank, but rather a High-level Alchemist of the Yellow Rank or above. Such a level of alchemist, there are no more than thirty throughout the entire Heavenly Dragon Continent, truly a rare treasure!”

”Could it be someone you personally know, Uncle?” Yun Ya inquired.

”Not sure, but the young man is quite unfamiliar, and his aura is very mixed, making it impossible to determine which sect he’s from.”

The elder added.

”Really!” Yun Ya showed a look of surprise and said, ”But you are a mighty figure in the Cave Heaven Realm, how can you not discern his cultivation level and sect?”

”Nothing is impossible. In any case, you’ve already sent someone to track him. We’ll soon know his identity. Do not offend this person at any cost. If there’s a chance, we must try to recruit him!” The white-bearded elder gritted his teeth and said.

”Your Highness, the Princess!”

At this moment, the cloaked individual who had followed earlier returned.

”Did you find out?” Yun Ya asked, startled. The cloaked individual had only been gone for a brief moment; could it be that the person lived nearby?

”To report to Your Highness, the Princess, his body movement technique was extremely peculiar. After leaving the Imperial Auction House, he vanished without a trace, leaving behind not a hint of his aura. I am incompetent.”

The cloaked person reported with a bowed head.

”How is that possible! You are a martial artist of the Heavenly Realm, and he just seemed like a martial artist of the Transcendent Realm. You let him slip away from you?” Yun Ya could hardly believe it.

”Alright, you may withdraw.”

The white-bearded elder gestured for the cloaked person to depart and then turned to Yun Ya, ”Little Yun Ya, this person must be a hermit of high standing. In the future, try not to track him carelessly. If you inadvertently anger the other party, not only could you fail to recruit him, but you might also make an enemy.”

Yun Ya involuntarily took a deep breath. She wasn’t afraid of offending a master, but crossing a high-level alchemist above Yellow Rank could even bankrupt the Imperial Auction House if not handled properly.

”I understand,”

Yun Ya nodded and said, ”It seems that the auction has been promoted with utmost dedication this time. We must change his impression of our auction house.”

With Yun Ya personally overseeing the preparations, the Imperial Auction House went all out to publicize the auction of the Transcendent Pill. In just half a day, nearly every martial artist in the Holy City was aware of the event.

Suddenly, all martial artists turned their attention to the Imperial Auction House.

After all, the Martial Arts Festival had not yet begun. Before that, attending an auction and getting some Transcendent Pills in hand wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Although the price of Transcendent Pills wasn’t cheap, a regular Transcendent Realm Martial Artist who was willing to work hard and save could afford to buy one or two.

Not to mention those wealthy Sects that often used such pills as rewards for their disciples—they were certainly willing to pay a high price to purchase them.

The key point was that such items were exceptionally practical, considering that within all the Sects on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, the majority of martial artists were below Half-step Celestial.

This auction frenzy also swept through the area where the Moon Hua Sect was situated.

Upon hearing this news, the upper echelons of the Moon Hua Sect, including Wu Xiang, were so excited that they insisted on spending money to bid for a few.

Seeing the high spirits of these seniors, which were not inferior to the fervor for preparing for the Martial Arts Festival, Ling Xiao felt quite astonished.

To him, these were merely twenty Transcendent Pills he couldn’t use.

It made him realize a fact—his master, Yuan Venerate, was right about the preciousness of pills on the Heavenly Dragon Continent.

His decision to become an alchemist had indeed been correct.

Ling Xiao originally wanted to ask Wu Xiang and the others not to join the crowd, but then he thought better of it.

If the people of the Moon Hua Sect didn’t go, it would be easy to suspect that he was one of them.

Therefore, he didn’t explain but followed Wu Xiang and the rest to the Imperial Auction House.

Perhaps because everyone was interested in the Transcendent Pill, Ling Xiao actually ran into people from the Heavenly King Sect on the way.

The Holy Son and Mo Wu Shang did not appear.

The delegation from the Heavenly King Sect was still led by Vice Sect Master Si Kong Xuan, with the leading disciple being Dao Wuming, the third-ranked Core Disciple of the Heavenly King Sect.

This person ranked third among the Core Disciples of the Heavenly King Sect and was in the top ten in the previous Martial Arts Festival, not far from the position of the Sixth Young Master of the Holy Dynasty.

Now his cultivation level had greatly advanced, and in this year’s Martial Arts Festival, he intended to showcase his prowess well.

Dao Wuming’s character was terribly similar to Ya Qian Xue—equally arrogant and rude, equally self-conceited and boastful.

When Si Kong Xuan informed Dao Wuming that the one who had disrespected His Highness the Saint’s Son was Ling Xiao, Dao Wuming couldn’t help but start making sarcastic remarks.

”I thought he had three heads and six arms, daring to look down on His Highness the Saint’s Son. Now that I’ve seen him in person, he’s nothing but trash!”

”Brother Ling, what nonsense is that idiot muttering?”

Joshua Long asked on purpose.

”Who knows? There are so many idiots these days; I don’t have the time to investigate them one by one,”

Ling Xiao sighed.

”Bastard!”

As the third-ranked Core Disciple of the Heavenly King Sect, with strength second only to the Holy Son and Mo Wu Shang, and his father being one of the Sacred Dynasty’s state-protecting sorcerers, everyone on the Heavenly Dragon Continent treated him with utmost respect. Yet this mere disciple from the Moon Hua Sect dared disrespect him,

And insult him?

His face turned blood red with anger as if it could drip blood, wishing he could strike immediately.

But after a moment, he took a deep breath and relaxed.

After all, he still did not dare to make a move within the Holy City.
