Chapter 817 - The Auction Began (1/2)

Chen Fan left the pills and promised to join the auction three days later.

The old man went into the hall at the back with the bottle and saw a man in a black outfit drinking tea. The Master and senior members of the Golden Crow were bowing to the man respectfully. The old man quickly ran forward.

“My Lord, he just left. The pills will be put up for auction three days later.”

“Hm.”

The man in a black outfit nodded. He seemed to be around thirty years old, but his hair was already white and his eyes showed the vicissitudes of life. He seemed to be connected with the world and was apparently a Connate Overlord.

“My Lord, why don’t we buy the pills? A hundred thousand Spirit Stones isn’t a lot for the Golden Crow,” The fat master of the Golden Crow asked.

The Golden Crow would be unable to get them once they were put up for auction.

“Ten Heavenly Essence Pills don’t matter to me. The Chief Master asked me to look for talents in the medicine halls. If that man is really an Alchemy Master, we’ve already gained a great reward,” the man said.

Everyone present was startled.

They knew the reason why the Golden Crow could open so many branches around the Beihan Region: they had a backer in the royal city. Rumor had it that it was one of the Princes. As they thought of the battle for the throne between the Princes after Lord Beihan died, they were even more terrified.

All of them would be crushed even if the entire Golden Crow was involved in such a battle. Only Golden Core Cultivators could be a part of it.

“That Exalted Immortal said he made the Heavenly Essence Pills. Why didn’t you rope him in?” the old man asked.

“Old Ding, there are only a few Connate Cultivators in the city. How would you meet one so easily? Besides, didn’t you notice the difference between his appearance and ours?” The Alchemy Envoy chuckled.

“His appearance?” the others wondered.

“His eyes are black,” the Alchemy Envoy said.

“Black hair and black eyes… Is he Chinese?” the old man exclaimed.

Everyone else was startled and the Master of the Golden Crow found it unbelievable. “I heard that the Chinese have been cursed. Only one in ten thousand people is an Immortal Cultivator, let alone any Connate Overlords. How would such a race have a young Connate Cultivator?”

“He can pretend to be one. I know a few treasures that can help a mortal pa.s.s up for a Connate or a Golden Core Cultivator. Maybe he’s got one of them?” the Alchemy Envoy said.

“Then, let’s just kill him and take those Heavenly Essence Pills, a senior member suggested.

“No, many people saw the Heavenly Essence Pills with their own eyes, including the Young Master of the Yun family. Besides, I’m more interested in the people behind this young man. The disguising treasures and the superior-grade Spirit Pills aren’t something a mortal like him can easily get his hands on.”

The Alchemy Envoy was quite interested.

Everyone nodded. Compared to an Alchemy Master, ten Heavenly Essence Pills were nothing.

Only the old man felt worried. He was able to sense a trace of danger on Chen Fan, which was a hundred times more dense than the Alchemy Envoy’s, but he thought he might have been wrong and just shook his head.

The Golden Crow had a bottle of Heavenly Essence Pills which could improve powers without suffering from any side effects.

The entire Zhuyan City had been stirred once the news circulated around the city. Superior-grade Spirit Pills were rare and those made by a Master were rarer. Most of them were basically distributed among the large sects and families in the royal city, so people in Zhuyan City wouldn’t usually get them.

At the Yun family mansion in Zhuyan City.

“Are you sure it’s true?” the Ancestral Patriarch of the Yun family asked.

“I’m sure. Little Seventeen saw them with his own eyes. The Chief Alchemist of the Golden Crow, Old Ding, said those were Heavenly Essence Pills made by a Master. The Golden Crow also told the public that the pills will be put up for auction three days later,” the Lord of the Yun family answered.

“If we can get the Heavenly Essence Pills, our family will become more powerful. We might get another couple of Connate Cultivators. We must take a hold on them whatever it takes,” the Ancestral Patriarch of the Yun family said.

Not only the Yun family.

The other cultivation families in Zhuyan City, including the Mu family, the Xiao family and the Wu family, and also the City Lord Mansion were also shocked. The auction of the Golden Crow suddenly went to the spotlight.

But Chen Fan was unaware of this.

He had just casually made those Heavenly Essence Pills.

Only Treasure Pills were useful for him at the moment. The other Spirit Pills didn’t have a great effect on him. He took the Essence Core of a Merman Overlord and made dozens of them, but he didn’t know that the medicines made by the Celestial Lord were much more powerful than those made by an Alchemy Master; the people on Planet Tianhuang had never seen anything like that. The furor he had caused was way beyond his imagination.

So, when Chen Fan was stunned by the crow when he returned to the Golden Crow three days later.

“A lot of people came to the auction this time!”

“Indeed. People from the Yun family, the Mu family and the City Lord Mansion are here. Even the Young City Lord and Mu Hongti, the Lady of the Mu family, also came. I heard that she’s been chosen by the Sect Master of the Qingyang Sect to be a disciple.”

“The Qingyang Sect is a famous sect. They have a Golden Core Ancestral Patriarch. I guess the Mu family will have another Connate Cultivator in the future.”

Everyone was discussing as they waited.

Chen Fan stood in the crowd and saw Mu Hongti and Zhang Lingfeng coming down from the flying s.h.i.+p, talking happily. One of them was handsome and the other was gorgeous, as if they were meant for each other.
