Chapter 274：legendary furnace

Iceberg's smile froze on his face. A cracking sound was heard. The curtain of another VIP room broke apart. All three VIP rooms connected together could be clearly seen. 

The people of Ice and Snow Villa, the leader being Iceberg; the people of Bright Moon Sect, the leader being Cold Moon, the Blade Prince; and the three figures in the middle, one was standing in front of the broken curtain, while the other male and female were sitting quietly on the chairs, not moving at all, extremely calm, and the woman had a veil covering her face, presenting a dreamy and beautiful appearance. 

"Glacier, mocking me?" 

The cold moon sneered and said, "Ice Plains has been provoking me all along, wanting to make him and Lin Feng fight. But in the end, Lin Feng didn't give him the slightest respect." 

"Humph!" 

Iceberg gave a cold smile. He had already shown great respect for Lin Feng, but Lin Feng, for the first time, killed one of the disciples of Snowy Mountain Villa and slapped him in the face. For the second time, he insulted him. 

"Brother Cold Moon, you said, how should we deal with him?" The voice of Iceberg carried a hint of coldness, preparing to deal with Lin Feng. 

"Who are your brothers? He's right. They are the people from the Ice and Snow Villa. They are timid and shrinking. Who do they think they are to be my brothers?" 

A cold voice spoke out, and Iceberg's face froze completely. His complexion alternated between pale and bluish. Feeling the gazes of the crowd below, he felt as if a lump of pent-up anger was blocking his chest, unable to be released. 

A chill spread through the space, coating the entire auction hall with a suffocating coldness. 

"Dear young gentlemen, the auction is still ongoing at present. Could you please postpone the discussion of your disputes until after the auction is over?" 

At this moment, a gentle laugh rang out from the auction platform. Seeing that Lan Jiao's face was suffused with a hint of charm and grace, the tense atmosphere was somewhat alleviated as soon as her words ended. 

"Alright." Igneous spoke first, his expression as cold as ice. 

Lin Feng gave a slight nod to Lan Jiao, and Lan Jiao returned the gesture with a smile. 

"Now, Cold Moon Young Master has offered 12,000 mid-grade Yuan stones. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?" Lan Jiao gave a glance of her smile at the crowd. No one responded. Even at this price, 12,000 mid-grade Yuan stones are already considered quite expensive for purchasing an upper-grade spirit weapon. 

Such a huge amount of Yuan Shi Qi could be absorbed by a strong person at the Xuanwu stage for a very long time. 

"Otherwise, if there's no one to do it, then Lan Jiao will be the one to congratulate Cold Moon Young Master first. Then, Chun Yue, it's all yours." 

Lan Jiao smiled and then continued, "The next item to be auctioned is a cauldron and tripod. This cauldron and tripod is engraved with nine dragons' patterns on it. It is very old, at least tens of thousands of years old. It should be a cauldron and tripod used for forging and alchemy. However, the cauldron and tripod seems somewhat damaged and its grade cannot be determined. But the senior of Dream Pavilion has already confirmed that if this cauldron and tripod is intact, it is at least a treasure above the medium-grade divine artifact level." 

"To make it clear to everyone that this tripod vessel is incomplete, we deliberately showed the treasure to everyone first." 

After Lan Jiao finished speaking, two people immediately carried up a large cauldron. The cauldron was about one meter tall and about one meter in diameter. It was engraved with nine patterns of dragons, which were lifelike. Among them, there was a dragon that was connected to a dragon carving that was roaring in the sky. That dragon carving was in a three-dimensional form, as if it was about to soar into the sky. However, the other eight patterns of dragons were not connected to the dragon carving, and it seemed that they were the "fragmented" ones as Lan Jiao had mentioned. 

Moreover, at a glance, this cauldron gives one a very ancient and simple impression. The carvings on it seem to convey the impression of tree rings. 

"Dear friends, please trust the discernment of Elder Meng Ge. Although this cauldron is incomplete, its hardness is no less than that of a top-grade divine artifact. It can be used as a cauldron right now. If it were complete, it would surely be a treasure of the divine artifact level." Lan Jiao emphasized this point. However, the interest of the crowd was not very high. The ancient city of Tian Luo often produced some antiquities, and most of them were already incomplete. Who could restore it to its original state? That would be like saying something in vain. This is merely a cauldron that is as hard as a top-grade divine artifact, and it doesn't have any offensive capabilities. What should it be used for? 

Perhaps, some alchemists who are fond of collecting might take a fancy to it. 

" The base price is also one thousand medium-grade Yuanstones." Lan Jiao spoke up, and immediately the crowd shook their heads. " One thousand medium-grade Yuanstones for a deformed furnace? That's not worth it at all!" 

Lan Jiao saw the crowd shaking their heads and she couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. She knew that although this cauldron was a precious item, its practical use was rather limited and it was difficult to fetch a good price at auction. However, it was undoubtedly a precious thing. 

"I'll offer a thousand medium-grade yuan stones." 

At this moment, a voice came from the crowd. The speaker was an old man with red hair, a fellow alchemist. Although this cauldron was of no great use, he was still somewhat interested in such ancient artifacts. 

For him, a thousand pieces of medium-grade yuan stones are not much. 

"It's Senior Chì. Since he has raised the matter, let it be settled with him." Someone murmured in a low voice, but was scorned by others for doing so. What's the point of letting or not letting? When one truly sees something desirable, who would be willing to give it away? They don't compete because the attraction is not strong enough. 

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and there was a slight awkwardness. 

"This tripod looks quite nice. Since we have a good rapport, I'll offer you two thousand medium-grade Yuan stones. It's a fair price and I hope it doesn't disappoint you." 

Lin Feng said indifferently, but at that moment, his heart began to thump loudly. 

The Nine Heaven Dragon Cauldron! This is indeed the Nine Heaven Dragon Cauldron. It has been missing for ten thousand years and suddenly appeared in Tianlu Ancient City. However, it was completely ignored by the crowd. 

The Sage who preserves Lin Feng's memories, among the fragments of memories left in Lin Feng's mind, there is one that features the pattern of the "Ten Famous Talismans of the Nine Heavens", the "Nine Heaven Dragon Furnace", ranking ninth among the Ten Famous Talismans. It has been missing for ten thousand years. In ancient times, only its pattern survived, and it is precisely this furnace in front of Lin Feng's eyes. However, here, no one recognizes its value. 

The treasure is so precious and valuable that returning to its original state and nature makes it less recognizable. 

Lin Feng, he wanted to offer a high price. He was so eager to offer a figure of ten thousand medium-grade Yuanstones that he almost blurted it out directly. But he didn't dare to do so. The higher he shouted, the more suspicious others would become. 

The bald old man glanced at Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded at him with a smile, his gaze calm and unaltered, without showing the slightest abnormality. 

"Since the young people like it, I'll let you have it. Two thousand medium-grade Yuan stones. That's indeed a very high price." The bald old man said this and got everyone nodding their heads. As a result, no one else made a bid. 

"Fool!" 

The icy plain gave out a cold and mocking laugh. However, Lin Feng didn't bother to pay attention to it. He bought the Nine-day Dragon Cauldron at a price of two thousand medium-grade yuan stones. Even if someone kept calling him an idiot a thousand times, he wouldn't mind. 

"Is there anyone else bidding?" Lan Jiao asked the crowd. Sure enough, no one else spoke. Lan Jiao didn't ask any more questions either. After all, in her opinion, buying this furnace and tripod for two thousand medium-grade Yuan stones was already a loss, and it wasn't worth it. 

"Congratulations to this young master for winning the Furnace and Cauldron." Lan Jiao slightly inclined her head towards Lin Feng, and immediately her snow-white, full figure was more prominently revealed, causing many people's eyes to sparkle. 

The Nine Heaven Dragon Furnace was carried away. Lan Jiao gave a charming smile and said slowly, "The last item to be auctioned is the妖火 (the fire of the demon). It's the妖火 inside the body of the Seven-Tailed Demon Fox of the Divine Demon Beast. I'm sure you all know its value. I don't need to elaborate on it 

"Fiery Demon!" 

Lin Feng's gaze narrowed slightly. Wu Xiu had reached the Xuanwu realm. His true qi contained the attribute power. The owner of the Flame Spirit Soul possessed true qi with a fire attribute. The true qi of the Flame Spirit Soul was also fire attribute, and the true qi Flame he used was very powerful. The same was true for the monster. The Seven-Tailed Demon Fox was a fire attribute demon beast. The demon fire within it was extremely powerful. If it could be devoured and absorbed, refined into true qi Flame and fused into his own use, his strength could be rapidly enhanced. 

After Lan Jiao finished speaking, many people's gazes immediately became intense again. The inner fire of the Fire Attribute Divine Beast was the essence of the beast. Even if it was extracted from the beast's body, its destructive power was astonishing. 

It is very attractive to those who are strong in fire magic and those who are adept at alchemy. 

"Starting bid: 200,000 yuan for a medium-grade artifact." Lan Jiao set the starting bid. It was higher than the price of the top-grade divine artifact, the Residual Moon, and the Nine-Tailed Dragon Cauldron. From this, one could see the artifact's value. 

Moreover, as the crowd one after another showed great eagerness to participate, no one would think that this "Three Thousand Pieces of Medium-grade Yuan Stone" with such a high price was a bargain. 

"Four thousand medium-grade elemental stones." 

"..."

"One ten-thousand-yuan stone of medium-grade jade." 

The bidding sounds kept rising and falling one after another. Just in a brief moment, someone offered 10,000 yuan for a medium-quality stone. It was terrifying. Moreover, the price was still going up. 

"Two hundred thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." A cold voice uttered this, and instantly the space solidified. Two hundred thousand. Some people jumped directly from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. And this person who made the offer was Iceberg!
