Chapter 347: Auction House (1/2)

Everyone looked at Xue Wei as if he was a freak. Some even started questioning whether or not he was a real Sovereign Beast.

Perhaps he had learned a skill that allowed him to pretend to be a Sovereign Beast?

Xue Wei quickly guessed their thoughts, and without further ado, scales started sprouting on his body, within a moment, a massive Azure Dragon was present in the middle of the training field.

Fortunately, beasts were capable of shrinking their sizes down, or otherwise,; there would have been no space for Xue Wei.

”He is a real Azure Dragon!” It was unknown who the first person to call out was, but everyone else gasped when they realized that it was indeed so. Although he was only nineteen, he could cultivate. Although he was a Sovereign Beast, he mastered human techniques.

The more they heard about this Xue Wei, the more they thought he was shrouded in mystery.

Xue Wei had intentionally said these things. When they entered the Ascended's Realm, everyone would get to know that he could use human techniques.

And his age was truly too young. Although beasts aged immensely slowly, and these forty-year-old geniuses and princes looked twenty, the truth was that Xue Wei was different from them.

Although he had the blood of the Azure Dragon in his veins and he could be considered an azure dragon, he was also hadving human blood flowing inside.

”Could you perhaps tell us how you managed this?” The Emperor asked with bated breath. If he could make his Vermilion Bird Clan cultivate from a younger age, and if they could use human techniques, then their already overwhelming strength would be even more overbearing.

”Sorry,” Xue Wei shook his head dejectedly. ”I wish I could help you, but it seems to be a mutation of my bloodline.”

The Emperor had already guessed this, but he still held a slight hope. He still nodded his head, and under his breath, he muttered, ”as expected of her son.”

Xue Wei heard him say something, but as to what it was, he did not grasp it. Shaking his head slightly, he returned to give feedback to the many cultivators who were eager to be guided by him.

Like this, a few hours passed, and it was not before the Emperor called out that the banquet had ended that the experts stopped asking questions of Xue Wei.

Even when it had ended, they were all looking like lost dogs as they observed Xue Wei. He was a treasure trove and clearly the one who was able to support them when they entered the Ascended's Realm.

The First Prince's eyes shone coldly for a moment before he once again had a gentle smile on his face, not even the slightest sign of dissatisfaction or hostility on his expression.

”Sir Xue, it was our honor to have you here,” he said as he spoke to Xue Wei for the first time. ”We can learn a lot from sparring with you. We believe that with your help, our strength will be growing to new heights.”

Xue Wei smiled slightly when he heard this, but he neither agreed nor disagreed.

It was the Emperor who came to his help. ”Xue Wei needs to prepare for the Ascended's Realm,” he said gently. ”He does not have too much spare time, but if there is any, he can always come looking for you.”

Hearing that the Emperor was this defensive over him, the First Prince was shocked, but he did not show anything in his expression. Instead, he just nodded his head.

”Of course, it is important for Sir Xue to prepare for the Ascended's Realm. If he finds that he has any spare time, then he can always come and find us.”

After saying what he had to say, the First Prince turned around and started leaving. The banquet was over, so the geniuses and princes vanished one after another.

At this time, Xue Wei also got ready to leave together with his friends.

He had managed to make all the experts think he was mysterious, but more than that, he had managed to get rid of some subjects that could bring to become troublesome later if not handled well.

Xue Wei then found his friends, and together they started walking back to the room that had been prepared for them.

The rest of the night was uneventful as they cultivated. But while they were calm and cultivating, gossip spread like wildfire in the entire capital.

The Emperor had not ordered a lockdown on the information gotten at the banquet, so it spread fast. The following day, everyone knew of all the strange things that Xue Wei could do.

They also knew that he was an Azure Dragon, and while the Azure Dragon was supposed to be weaker when compared tothan the Vermilion Bird, it turned out that because of all the miracles that centered around Xue Wei, he was not at a disadvantage when dealing with Vermilion Birds.

Xue Wei was unaware of the fact that he had turned into a celebrity overnight, but even if he had known, he would just chuckle and leave it at that.

The following morning, Xue Wei stopped cultivating and stretched his body. He could feel the energy roaring inside of his body, the heaven and earth essence here in the Demon Phoenix Continent was much richermore than any other place he had ever experienced.

It was like training was yielding double the gains of how it had been back in Chang'an.

As Xue Wei finished freshening up, he gathered with his friends in the sitting room.

”We should go out and purchase some things,” Xue Wei said with a smile on his face. ”Although we have many resources, and many incredibly rare resources, some of them are not usable yet, others are lacking.”

Xue Wei was going to make an immense amount of pills. He knew that they were likely to get seriously injured in the Ascended's Realm, so he had to get everything ready before then.

He also needed to stock up on inscriptions and formations again since he had used a sizeable amount back on the Thunder Graveyard Island.

Xue Wei knew that to survive in such an environment as the Ascended's Realm,; one had to be prepared for anything.
