The Final Items

"The Burning Hand Refining Technique goes to this gentleman from room number 10"

The MC continued the event as Elder Xie Hualing of the alchemist association got kicked out.

Zhou Mengyao quickly managed to get the Burning Hand Refining Technique since his greatest competition is gone. The others don't want to dip their hands on the issues of the people on the top hierarchy.

'It looks like Tian Family has this intention from the start. Their intention is to slap the alchemist association, nothing new since the alchemist association are purposely having a monopoly on the ingredients to most pills'

Zhou Mengyao thought as he gave 25,000 spirit stones to the servant outside their door and he already got the technique in his hands.

It is fast because he is in a VIP room, it is another privilege. In comparison to others, they will have to get the things that they bid later.

"You plan to be an alchemist? I don't think it is a good idea at all."

Yan Suyin advice him because it took too much effort to refine pills. The success rate is also low and learning alchemy is very different than fighting, one will need years of knowledge about alchemy just to be called an apprentice alchemist.

That alone is enough of an explanation on why she is against it.

"I have a good feeling with this, I am sure that I will be able to learn most things easily."

Zhou Mengyao replied as he reads the content of the technique. He just read it and as expected his system did the rest of the work.

[Burning Hand Refining Technique]

[Level 1: 0/100]

[Effect: One will be able to control fire to a certain extent. More effective on refining pills]

Other than that there is also the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon who has a strange thing added to it.

[Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon]

[Level 1 Phase 1: 1/100]

[Effects: Using this will make your body a vessel for storing qi.]

The explanation is rather simple but the thing that confused Zhou Mengyao is the Phase 1 added next to the level.

He wondered what will happen after he upgrades it but he can only see what will happen later.

'I can finally confirm the strange energy on my body, it must be qi since the explanation of the system is already in there.'

Zhou Mengyao thought since he just needs to read a technique to actually learn it and have its effect, of course, he must have the prerequisite requirements.

For example, the Burning Hand Refining Technique needs to have qi as a requirement to use it. Martial Skills like the one that Qin Peng used in their battle earlier also counts as a technique that requires qi to be able to use.

Zhou Mengyao wouldn't have been able to use all those techniques since he doesn't have qi but now that he has qi he can finally use martial skills. He has already visited the school's library but there is nothing that happens whenever he tried to read the scrolls of martial skills because he has no qi back then.

With the leveling system, what Zhou Mengyao is worried about is not being able to find other techniques since from what he knew every technique has its own limit. The Indestructible Copper Body for example can only level up until the third level.

So Zhou Mengyao is very desperate on finding techniques that will be suitable and useful for him. He has a very strong belief in his system that he only needs to do repetitive actions and he will get stronger, right now his most important asset is the system.

He can confirm the system's effect with the Indestructible Copper Body so he is willing to gamble everything on this, even if he waste time just to learn alchemy.

"Just where did you get that confidence from? Now I am truly wondering what are you."

Yan Suyin said as her interest is at its peak, it would have been understandable that he will only focus on body refining techniques but this guy is built differently.

He also wanted to try the specialized professions which will take one's whole lifetime just to achieve some success.

"Hmm? I also wondered where but this is just who I am, I don't back down otherwise the Azure Dragon will be mad at me."

Zhou Mengyao said with a slip of tongue remembering how although the Azure Dragon lost its last battle, it still tried resisting death. He died struggling to show how prideful dragons are.

"The Azure Dragon? That is interesting."

Yan Suyin said as she remembers its legend passed down on the central part of the continent. The Dragon is said to be the sovereign of this continent and the continent is named after him but he died without anyone knowing how.

Dragons are basically immortals so it made one wonder how they died.

...

The auctions continued for quite some time, so far they don't have any interest in the items auctioned and another hour has passed.

"We will be getting into the five last items of this event. I am sure that you will like it!"

"We will start with the fifth item! This is a bottle of Tier 4 Yin-Yang Pill! This pill will help a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to break through to Core Formation Realm!"

"You must know that entering Core Formation Realm is a dream come true to many and it is also very hard to reach this realm! One's Yin and Yang Qi must be balanced in order to break through to Core Formation Realm! This pill will be the one to balance the Yin and Yang Qi as one breakthrough to Core Formation Realm."

"The starting price will be 50,000 spirit stones! Increment should not be lower than 1,000 spirit stones!"

'Core Formation Realm? Although this pill is good, it will squeeze out the potential of the one who consumes it. The only one who will consume it is those people who knew that they don't have any hope in breaking through.'

Zhou Mengyao thought, he has learned of it from his family's library, only the desperate one will consume it and since in this kingdom, the Golden Core Formation Realm is said to be the highest realm one can get, being in the Core Formation Realm is good enough.

It is just one stage difference but that difference is already comparable to heaven and earth. Even if hundreds of Core Formation Realm Masters tried to attack a Golden Core Formation Realm Master, they should be happy if their attacks even fazed the shit out of the higher leveled ones.

The difference is just huge as one continues to advance.

Still, there are many who wanted to buy the pills.

Sect Master Li Dingxiang of the Flame Mountain Sect has won the bidding price. The pill is sold for 300,000 spirit stones.

It is a ridiculous price to pay with but the demand is high and the supply is nonexistent so it is understandable that the price reached such a figure for a pill that will literally squeeze out one's potential in cultivating.

'It must have been all of the spirit stones of the Flame Mountain Sect. Well, they are different to us prestigious families who operate cities and towns hence our income reaches millions every year.'

Zhou Mengyao thought after recalling that Flame Mountain Sect is but a trash sect, they are called as such because they are the ones that are following a kingdom instead of them making a kingdom follow them.

Sects just like kingdoms also have rankings. The Kingdom of Clear Lake is a Tier 2 Kingdom with many sects and families under it.

Then to the west, there is a Tier 2 Sect called Poisonous Garden Sect which has kingdoms and strong families under it.

It usually doesn't matter what the ranking is, this is just an estimation in this cultivation world since some of the kingdoms and sects have regressed to Tier 1 but their power can still be comparable to Tier 2 and above because of their legacy.

One will only be able to be part of the rankings if they are not under the rule of someone that is not from the same faction, the Kingdom of Clear Lake is a faction that are being ruled of by the rightful heir and every control is given to the royal family.

"Next item is one of the rarest herbs out there! It is called the Heart Calming Grass! This herb is said to be able to calm one's heart demons so there won't be any need for you to worry about your demons if you are breaking through!"

"Though it is advised to be consumed only by the Core Formation Realm Masters!"

"The starting price will be 100,000 spirit stones! The increment must not be lower than 1,000 spirit stones!"

The MC said and Yan Suyin suddenly felt a dilemma.

'A trash herb like Heart Calming Grass is worth as such? Unbelievable! This is blatant robbery! This should not even cost 20,000 spirit stones!'

Yan Suyin thought but just looking at the looks of the cultivators she can already grasp the situation. The item probably has no supply and hence it cost such a ridiculous amount.

Thinking of this she can only be thankful that she is lucky because Zhou Mengyao promised that he will buy her anything that she wants.

'Since he is from a prestigious background, this should be nothing right?'
