Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Shocking the Entire Audience

“`

Manager Li was the overseer of the auction house, with a cultivation level of the Seventh Level of the Transformative Realm.

A bone-chilling murderous aura permeated the room, immediately silencing the previously bustling hall. It startled everyone present, and all eyes were soon drawn to its source.

“What’s happening? Why is Manager Li so furious?”

“Did you see that kid? I don’t know who he is, but he dared to bet with Young Master Liu, saying that the auction house would give him the meteoric iron. If he wins, he’ll chop off one of Young Master Liu’s hands, and if he loses, he’ll chop off both of his own hands.”

“That’s right, and he even said something about making Manager Li and Young Master Liu kneel and kowtow to him as if nothing happened. This young man is too arrogant.”

...

“Isn’t this courting death? Who is this kid? Why is he so brazen?”

“I think he won’t cry until he sees the coffin.”

After hearing this, the crowd reacted with a mix of shock and mockery.

“Brat, there have been many who have caused trouble at the auction house. I was willing to overlook your behavior because of your young age, but it seems you refuse the toast only to be forced to drink the forfeit!” Manager Li said expressionlessly, clearly enraged.

In front of so many in the auction house’s main hall, Feng Wuchen had spoken such arrogant and self-aggrandizing words to Manager Li and Young Master Liu, showing no regard for them. As the manager of the auction house, how could he forgive Feng Wuchen lightly?

“Originally, I wanted to respect the fact that you are the manager of the auction house and not quibble with you, but you insisted on underestimating others,” Feng Wuchen retorted fearlessly, his voice as cold as ever.

“You’re seeking death!” Manager Li bellowed, his face darkening as if it could drip water.

Enraged, Manager Li stepped forward without saying another word, intent on killing Feng Wuchen with a single slap.

With a cold glance at the furious Manager Li, Feng Wuchen spoke indifferently, “In a moment, I’ll make you dead.”

“Hmph! I’d like to see how long you can be so arrogant!” sneered Young Master Liu, taking pleasure in the misfortune.

“What is all this noise about?” Just as Manager Li was about to strike, an aged yet authoritative voice was heard.

“Elder!” Upon hearing this voice, Manager Li immediately halted and hurriedly conveyed his respect, as did everyone in the auction house and the main hall.

An old man clad in a gray robe, with white hair and a white beard, walked slowly forward. An invisible aura emanating from him was enough to intimidate everyone present.

He was Wei Yun, the Senior Elder of the auction house, with a cultivation level reaching the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm. His power was extremely formidable.

Wei Yun was also a Third-grade Alchemist, a figure of significant standing in Yunzhou.

Manager Li quickly approached and respectfully reported, “Senior Elder, this kid has been wreaking havoc at the auction house. He even demanded that Young Master Liu and I kneel and kowtow to him, or else he threatened to break our hands!”

No sooner had Manager Li finished speaking than Feng Wuchen interjected, “You misspoke. It’s not about breaking your hand; I already said I wanted you dead.”

Wei Yun frowned slightly, his penetrating old eyes sizing up Feng Wuchen, thinking, “Second Grade Alchemist, this young man’s identity is by no means simple. Could it be that he’s the alchemy prodigy from the Tianyun Sect?”

As a Third-Rank Artificer, Wei Yun could naturally feel the robust Soul Power within Feng Wuchen.

“Ah?” The maid accompanying Wei Yun was shocked and let out a cry. The youth Manager Li spoke of was none other than Feng Wuchen, the very guest she had been attending to!

The maid quickly said, “Senior Elder, this Mister Feng is the one who wishes to purchase the meteoric iron.”

“Purchase what meteoric iron? Can he even afford it?” Young Master Liu scoffed. “This brat bet with me, arrogantly claiming that the auction house would give him the meteoric iron, and if he lost, he would have to have both hands chopped off.”

Wei Yun roughly understood the implication and his expression turned very ugly. He said sternly, “All who come are guests. Just because you can’t afford it doesn’t mean others can’t. You mustn’t judge by appearances!”

With a trace of anger in his deep old eyes, Wei Yun turned to Manager Li and said coldly, “Manager Li, do not bring your personal way of treating guests to the auction house; it damages our reputation!”

“Yes!” Manager Li responded respectfully, not daring to behave inappropriately.

“I am Wei Yun, Senior Elder of the auction house. Brother Feng, I apologize for any oversight. Here is the meteoric iron for you to inspect,” Wei Yun said to Feng Wuchen with a polite smile, quickly placing a piece of the iron on the table.

The maid also hastily laid out the other treasures Feng Wuchen had requested on the table.

Having met many people, Wei Yun could naturally tell that Feng Wuchen was no ordinary individual.

“Hmph! I don’t believe he can afford it!” Young Master Liu said resentfully.

Feng Wuchen merely glanced at the meteoric iron and immediately determined it to be genuine. Then, with a cold laugh, he said, “I didn’t say I could afford it, nor did I say I couldn’t. I only said the auction house would give it to me. If I win, your hand will be broken.”

“Hmph! Then you ask the Senior Elder if he will give you the meteoric iron!” Young Master Liu sneered, doubting the auction house would gift a billion-value meteoric iron to an unknown youngster.

Unless everyone at the auction house was a fool!

“Then watch closely!” Feng Wuchen said with a cold laugh as he suddenly activated the Breath of the Dragon God.

“Bang!”

A wisp of blue flame instantly ignited in the palm of Feng Wuchen’s hand. With a wave of his hand, the meteoric iron, warm jade, and Spirit Stones levitated.

The meteoric iron, engulfed by the blue flames in Feng Wuchen’s palm, began to burn, while the warm jade and Spirit Stones revolved around it.

“Artifact Refiner!” Wei Yun’s eyes revealed a hint of shock.

“`

“He is an Artifact Refiner!” Manager Li and Young Master Liu were both wide-eyed and dumbfounded, completely taken aback.

Seeing this, everyone present was instantly shocked; even though they were not Artifact Refiners, they could now guess that Feng Wuchen was one!

The existence of Artifact Refiners is even rarer than Alchemists, and powerful Artifact Refiners are rarer still.

However, what shocked them was not just the simple fact that Feng Wuchen was an Artifact Refiner, but that he was an Artifact Refiner who could use meteoric iron!

Ordinary Artifact Refiners at most could utilize fine iron to forge ordinary weapons and treasures. Second, Third, and even Fourth Rank Artifact Refiners could only use profound iron to forge their weapons and treasures. To be able to use meteoric iron for Artifact Refining, that definitely indicated a powerful Artifact Refiner, at least a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!

Ordinary Artifact Refiners were enough to inspire respect and awe, so what about a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner?

“This guy can actually refine with meteoric iron! He’s a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!” Wei Yun was utterly astounded, “Looking across the entire Yunzhou, you can’t find a single Third-Rank Artificer; the whole Empire has only one Fourth Rank Artificer, and this guy turns out to be a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!”

How terrifying must it be to be a young Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner?

Wei Yun dared not even imagine it!

In Feng Wuchen’s palm, the meteoric iron blazed, soon turning red-hot, and finally, it melted into a liquid, with the warm jade and Spirit Stones already merged into the molten meteoric iron.

Feng Wuchen’s hands constantly shifted through magical and mysterious gestures, and the liquid meteoric iron writhed as if alive.

The entire hall was silent, with everyone immersed in Feng Wuchen’s splendid display of Artifact Refining, their excitement and amazement at his skill.

Feng Wuchen continued to refine the liquid meteoric iron, removing all impurities. Then, following his will, he split the molten iron in two and began to shape it until, finally, two identical Storage Rings congealed!

The two Storage Rings emitted an immensely powerful aura, and a dazzling blue light enveloped the entire hall.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Wuchen collected the two Storage Rings in his palm, and the brilliant blue light disappeared, revealing a hall full of people with their mouths agape.

At this moment, Wei Yun was also dumbstruck, completely overwhelmed by Feng Wuchen’s divine and exquisite Artifact Refining power.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two Storage Rings were completely forged!

“Thought-Forming Instrumentation! Thought-Forming Instrumentation!” Wei Yun suddenly cried out loud, breaking the silence of the hall.

“What a powerful aura! They are Spiritual Artifacts! There’s no mistake! I have never seen such a powerful Artifact Refiner! This speed is just too fast!”

“Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts! Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts! He… he is a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner! Young Master Liu is doomed now! Offending a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner, not even the Heavenly King could save him!”

“Refining in the palm of his hand, no need for a Refinement Furnace, Artifact Refining at will! And they are Spiritual Artifacts no less!”

As Wei Yun broke the silence, the entire venue erupted, filled with sounds of shock.

Feng Wuchen slowly opened his palm, and the two Storage Rings emitting blue light reappeared before everyone’s eyes, looking absolutely like treasures from beyond this world, shocking countless people.

Thought-Forming Instrumentation was truly unmatched in the world!

“Thought-Forming Instrumentation! Even a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner can’t achieve that, he’s definitely beyond the level of a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!” Wei Yun’s heart was shaking even more, all his old bones trembling.

Turning his gaze towards the shocked and fearful Young Master Liu, Feng Wuchen sneered, “Now tell me, how much are these two Storage Rings worth?”

Young Master Liu had already turned to stone, unable to move a muscle.

Although a Spiritual Artifact is only one rank higher than a treasure, they are incomparable.

Put simply, if a high-quality treasure Storage Ring only had one square meter of space, then a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact would have at least one hundred!

If it were a Spiritual Weapon, its power would be a hundred times that of a treasure!

Not to mention the price of a Spiritual Artifact, just Feng Wuchen’s identity as a Fifth Grade Alchemist was already priceless!

“Mr. Feng truly is a great master!” After regaining his composure, Wei Yun hurriedly exclaimed excitedly: “The meteoric iron has been unsold at the auction house for many years. Today, it encountered Mr. Feng and could shine brightly, proving that it was fated to belong to Mr. Feng. The meteoric iron should definitely be gifted to Mr. Feng!”

Wei Yun was not foolish, at this moment, if he dared to ask for money, there would be no need to continue running the auction house.

“Did you hear that?” Feng Wuchen asked with a cold smile, grabbing through the air with his right hand, and the Fiery Blade flashed into existence from thin air.

With a swing of his sword, Feng Wuchen promptly severed the stone-like Young Master Liu’s arm, blood spraying forth.

“Ah!” The instant his arm was severed, Young Master Liu suddenly awoke in shock, and as agony spread throughout his body, he screamed miserably.

Manager Li knelt down in terror, pleading, “Mr. Feng, spare my life, this lowly one was blind and did not recognize the great Mr. Feng, I hope… I hope Mr. Feng…”

Before Manager Li could finish, Feng Wuchen had already struck with his sword, severing one of Manager Li’s arms too, and although he was in excruciating pain from his severed arm, he dared not scream out.

“In consideration of Elder Wei Yun’s gift of the meteoric iron, I will spare you your lives,” said Feng Wuchen with an icy tone.

Standing to the side, Wei Yun didn’t dare to intervene, who would dare to offend such a fearsome and powerful Artifact Refiner?

All the people in the hall were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their fear and reverence for Feng Wuchen came from deep within.

Feng Wuchen’s divine, exquisite, and awe-inspiring Artifact Refining, truly reflective of Thought-Forming Instrumentation, was an experience they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
