Chapter 627: Golem Square
Who was she? She came from a n.o.ble lineage, a phoenix among women, a heaven’s proud daughter on top of having exceptional beauty with countless admirers, including princes and prodigies. In the Alchemy Realm and the Stone Medicine World, many lost sleep thinking about her at night, then they lost their minds upon seeing her, never able to forget her beauty afterward.
Yet last night, this brat again and again chose to oppose her in such a bl.u.s.tering manner. And today, he was even acting like he didn’t know who she was!
His att.i.tude humiliated her and made her want to kill him even more than back when he was spewing out cruel and crude words.
Eventually, the prideful girl took a deep breath and contained her urge to kill. If Li Qiye was going to act like a “stranger”, then she would also display the most arrogant posture to meet him. With that, she exhibited a n.o.ble and out-of-reach demeanor; anyone who saw her at this moment would lower their heads. She was already extremely powerful, so with this arrogant aura, others thought that she was a jewel or a G.o.ddess on the moon.
She looked down with contempt at Li Qiye as if he was an ant or an insignificant pa.s.serby. After glaring at him, she didn’t bother looking at him a second time and turned around to disappear into the Golem Square.
Her oppressive aura caused Bai Weng and s.h.i.+ Hao to s.h.i.+ver. The two were not like Li Qiye, so they had to bend their backs as they were unable to withstand her aura.
After she left, they were finally able to heave a sigh of relief. Earlier, they felt as if there was a huge mountain crus.h.i.+ng down on them, rendering them breathless. With her departure, they were finally able to see the sun again.
Bai Weng regained his composure while still quivering a bit. Seeing Li Qiye wanting to enter the square, he quickly pulled on Li Qiye’s sleeve and asked: “Young n.o.ble, do you know the ident.i.ty of that lady earlier?”
“Ident.i.ty?” Li Qiye spoke leisurely since he didn’t care too much for these things.
His nonchalant att.i.tude left Bai Weng speechless. He didn’t know if Li Qiye was slow or just extremely supercilious.
Bai Weng took a deep breath and whispered: “Young n.o.ble, that little miss was a person from the Jian Clan. If I am correct, then she is the golden daughter of the Jian Clan.” [1. Jian = Arrow.]
“So what?” Li Qiye responded in a carefree manner. He didn’t care for the arrogant girl’s origin.
“So what...?” Bai Weng couldn’t help but raise his tone since he was scared to death.
s.h.i.+ Hao, on the other hand, stuttered: “That… that… ‘Number One Arrow’… the Jian Clan?”
Bai Weng quickly replied: “How many Jian Clans do we have in the Alchemy Realm outside of the Number One Arrow — the Jian Clan?”
Afterward, he reminded Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble, the Jian Clan is an imperial lineage created by Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian. It is a renowned and monstrous existence in our Alchemy Realm.”
He was afraid that Li Qiye didn’t know the strength of the Jian Clan and continued on: “Although our Giant Bamboo Country is quite strong, we are far weaker than the Jian Clan. Their influence reaches far and wide and they also have more than ten domains the size of our country.”
“So what?” Li Qiye still uttered the same phrase.
Bai Weng was completely lost. What else could he say if Li Qiye didn’t even put the Jian Clan in his eyes? Li Qiye then continued on without a care: “Okay, ignore that Jian Clan, we can enter now.”
Not caring didn’t mean that he didn’t know about the Jian Clan. With amazing power, Immortal Emperor Diyi Jian, alone, created this clan in the Alchemy Realm. [1. Diyi Jian = Number One Arrow.]
The emperor was a mixed-blood golem. At a young age, he was adept at using the bow and used it to test his dao. Eventually, he became an Immortal Emperor shouldering the Heaven’s Will.
The art of the bow and arrow was quite rare among true experts, but the emperor actually reached the apex using such a style. This was indicative of how amazing he was, so his t.i.tle, ‘Number One Arrow’, was true to reality. During the era where the emperor reigned with his unbeatable arrow, there was a legend that he used just one arrow to kill an immortal. Of course, this was only a legend and no one knew whether it was true or not.
Li Qiye, Bai Weng, and s.h.i.+ Hao entered the Golem Square. The first half of the auction was almost over, and the featured treasure finally came out.
A Heavenly Cauldron was carried into the room. It resembled a Vermillion Bird standing on one foot with its mouth opened towards the sky. One could feel hot air blowing about violently as if the cauldron contained the most tyrannical flame in this world.
“This is a Heavenly Cauldron.” The auctioneer introduced after the cauldron was brought out: “It has an amazing origin. It came into being in a distant southern cave in the Alchemy Realm that housed a Heavenly Flame. Its Fire Source is one of the fiercest of them all — the Vermillion Divine Flame!”
Because the Stone Medicine World had the most alchemists, a lot of them were present as well. Many of them drew breaths after hearing this: “The Vermillion Divine Flame!”
