Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4507  Trading for Celestial Qi

The auction venue was huge.

This was necessary. Merely in terms of Imperial Clans, there were several dozen, and added with a great many Holy Lands, just how many people did these forces have? And there were even more lone cultivators. They were actually the main sellers. For example, the Imperial Clans would basically be buying items when they held an auction. At most, they would only take out one or two treasures to match the situation.

The auction was very simple. Though there was an auctioneer, he only had the effect of appraising and introducing the auction items. As for what price the auction item would be sold for, that was completely up to the seller of the auction item.

One could accept Dao Stones or trade it for something he wanted the most.

With so many people, it could be imagined that the number of auction items would be incredibly terrifying. It was unknown how long this auction would last.

It may not be impossible for the auction to take a few months, or even one or two years.

Very soon, the auction began.

The sellers took out their own items one after another, and handed them over to the auction venue, where the auctioneer would begin the auction according to their order.

That was because they had done a preliminary selection before entering. The auction items would definitely be valuable, and no oneʼs time would be wasted.

One after another, items were laid out. The auctioneer appraised them, and made his own judgement. Of course, his words could only be considered as reference, and not absolute.

Some people left in delight after selling their merchandise, while the merchandise of others ended up not being auctioned off.

The reason why they had not been auctioned off was not because there was no competition. Firstly, it was possible that the price was too low, and had not reached a level that would satisfy the seller. Secondly, the seller did not accept Dao Stones, but rather wanted to trade it for other treasures. No one else had provided it, so he could only choose to leave the item unauctioned.

For a few days, neither Ling Han nor Brother Monkey made a move.

Though these things at the beginning had their own value, it was not enough to tempt them.

However, there were really too many people.

All of them were waiting to take out their own treasures for auction. In fact, they might not even be able to do it in ten, or even a hundred years.

The organizer finally knew that this kind of auction was too torturous. Thus, after some discussion, the rules of the auction were changed.

The auction did not proceed like this, but rather was divided into several hundred sub-venues and auctions would be carried out at the same time. Additionally, if you wanted, you could also set up a stall. In any case, the highest bidder would win, and whether to sell or not would depend on the owner of the goods.

In this way, the process was naturally faster. Furthermore, from Spirit Transformation Tier onwards, the martial artists could form spiritual bodies. One could form five to eight, and that was very normal. Moreover, the divine sense for Sect Masters and above was incredibly powerful, enough to cover the entire auction area. It was completely capable of having intel on every auction area.

Thus, this would not cause any effect at all. The treasures that should cause a commotion would still cause a commotion.

The only disadvantage was that the person appraising the treasure would be flustered, and would have to go back and forth to appraise the treasure.

It was fine. The Imperial Clans had already gone to ask for more appraisers. This kind of problem would soon be resolved.

Ling Han also took out a drop of Strengthening Fluid and began the auction.

After the appraisal was made public, Ling Han was instantly surrounded by a large number of old Sect Masters and Venerate Tier elites. All of them had heated gazes, wanting nothing more than to swallow Ling Han whole.

Strengthening oneʼs physique and strengthening oneʼs blood and Qi were really too important for people like them who were at the end of their line.

Some people had already glimpsed the threshold of breaking through, but because the life force was seriously lacking, they did not dare to rashly make an attempt. Now that they had seen the Strengthening Fluid, how could they not be wild with joy?

However, there was only one drop, so they could only fight tooth and nail for it.

On the path of cultivation, only few people would benefit while the rest would lose out. After all, there were only so many resources.

”I need treasures that contain Celestial Qi, whether it is Celestial medicine, Celestial pill, or something else. I can accept all of them.” Ling Han stated his request, ”I do not accept Dao Stones, no matter how many there are.”

With these words, a great many people were instantly disappointed.

These were treasures that contained Celestial Qi. This was too rare, and belonged to the category that could only be encountered by fortune but not sought. It could only be accumulated over a long period of time.

It was said that the Imperial Clan had a special method to capture Celestial Qi, but it was not something that could be obtained just because one wanted to. It was only a hundred times easier for them than other forces.

A great many people shook their heads and left, but there were still a dozen over people left behind. Clearly, they all possessed Celestial Qi.

”Come on,” Ling Han said with a smile.

”One portion of Celestial Qi, about four stars quality.”

”Two portions, both four stars in quality.”

”One portion, five star quality!”

Everyone began to place bids, and Ling Han was slightly disappointed. Though Celestial Qi could allow the fruit of cultivation to grow, the lower the grade, the less the fruit of cultivation would grow. Furthermore, it could also affect the quality of the fruit of cultivation, causing battle prowess to be inferior to other cultivators of the same level when they were in Venerate Tier.

Thankfully, he had also grasped the pill recipe for the Little Nine Emperors Ten Leaves Pill, which could elevate the Celestial Qi by another level. However, the higher the original grade of the Celestial Qi, the better.

”Hoho, I am willing to offer an eight-star quality Celestial Qi, but you only have a drop of treasure fluid, which is not enough to trade for it!” Suddenly, an elder spoke up. He was tall and sturdy, and even if two people were tied together, they may not be as wide as he was, but his whole head of hair was already grey, exuding an air of decay.

”Hiss, Crimson Venerate!”

”An old Venerate from the Golden Cauldron Imperial Clan. Itʼs said that he failed to break through to Saint Tier and severely wounded his life force.”

”No wonder he made a move.”

The people in the surroundings discussed in low voices, their expressions gloomy.

The Imperial Clan was really rich and imposing. The moment they opened their mouths, they immediately offered an eight-star Celestial Qi, which made them completely unqualified to compete.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Venerate wore a proud smile. To the members of the Imperial Clan, obtaining Celestial Qi was far easier than for others. In fact, they could even obtain the highest grade of Nine Stars, but to them, this kind of Celestial Qi was also incredibly rare, and would only be left to be used within their own forces.

The reason why the Golden Generationʼs cultivation level progressed so quickly was naturally related to it. Otherwise, the cultivation levels of Sect Master and Venerate Tier could only be slowly accumulated with time.

In the eyes of others, an eight-star Celestial Qi was incredibly valuable, but for the Imperial Clan, they could only obtain one every few hundred years, at most. Only nine-star Celestial Qi would be able to move even the Imperial Clans.

The Golden Cauldron Imperial Clan!

Ling Han subconsciously felt disgust. However, it was now time to earn Celestial Qi, so it didnʼt matter.

He thought for a moment, then answered, ”Ten drops.”

A thought flashed in Crimson Venerateʼs mind. Ling Han actually dared to bargain with him; what did that mean?

The other definitely had more than three drops of treasure fluid!

”Ten drops is still too little.” His expression did not change, and he shook his head.

”Itʼs about enough. Itʼs enough to help your blood and Qi reach the peak stage, and allow you to have the qualifications to attempt breaking through to Saint Tier again,” Ling Han said calmly.

Though the treasure fluid in his hand was measured in terms of ”bowl”, when it was time to bargain, Ling Han naturally would not be reserved either. This concerned his own interests.

Moreover, why should he be generous to the Imperial Clans?

After a difficult negotiation, the deal was finally settled with twelve drops of treasure fluid.

Hehehe, both sides were very satisfied, and revealed a smile.
