Chapter 40: Chapter 040: Tiandu Auction House

“Brother Wuchen, could you please tell this old man what divine skill this is? You can actually remove the fire poison so easily, and even the cold poison that I’ve been suppressing has been greatly reduced!” Mu Tianyun hastily inquired, astonishment changing his form of address.

“Elderly sir, this is my secret,” Feng Wuchen replied with a light smile, not actually knowing what divine skill it was he possessed.

In the memories of the Evil Dragon God, this divine skill had no name.

“Sect Master, are you alright?” Bai Ming asked, stunned.

“The fire and cold poisons have both been mostly removed, it’s truly miraculous!” Mu Tianyun remained shocked, feeling as if he were dreaming.

“Elderly sir, as an alchemist, you inevitably accumulate fire poison over the years from constant alchemy, especially when concocting some complex elixirs, which tend to produce fire poison. Please be careful in the future when practicing alchemy, and try to concoct less of the fourth-grade elixirs that you’re not familiar with. Many precious medicinal ingredients are potent poisons in themselves,” Feng Wuchen advised serenely.

...

Mu Tianyun nodded and then asked, “Brother Wuchen, could you help this old man remove all the fire poison from my body? Its presence severely affects my alchemy, and whether I can advance to a fifth-grade alchemist remains uncertain while it lingers.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuchen helplessly said, “Elderly sir, removing fire poison is not easy, and it cannot be completely cured in just a day or two. Moreover, I do not have the time right now.”

“Mr. Feng, if you can help our Sect Master remove the fire poison, I will agree to any request you make, and Xuantian Sect can give you powerful cultivation techniques and martial skills,” Bai Ming eagerly pleaded, seeing that Feng Wuchen could cure the fire poison.

“Feng elder, no, Brother Feng, please save my grandfather. His fire poison acts up often, and it scares me,” a young man also urgently pleaded, directly changing his address to Brother Feng.

“How about this, elderly sir, I will write you a prescription. With your fourth-grade Alchemist’s capabilities, it won’t be difficult to concoct. If taken over a long period, it can clear the cold poison in your body, but it won’t completely cure it, though it won’t affect your alchemy and cultivation,” Feng Wuchen finally said after pondering.

“Thank you, Brother Wuchen!” Mu Tianyun was overjoyed and promptly thanked Feng Wuchen with clasped hands.

Even if it couldn’t be completely cured, this was already wonderful news for Mu Tianyun.

Mu Tianyun silently felt fortunate for his appreciation of talent; otherwise, he wouldn’t have invited Feng Wuchen up here. Without Feng Wuchen, his fire poison might never have been removed.

“Thank you, Mr. Feng!” Bai Ming also quickly expressed gratitude.

If Mu Tianyun’s fire poison could be removed, he would have the chance to reach the level of a fifth-grade alchemist and lead Xuantian Sect to become even stronger in the future.

The current strength of Xuantian Sect was entirely due to Mu Tianyun.

Without Mu Tianyun, there would be no Xuantian Sect!

Feng Wuchen instructed the shop boy to bring him ink and bamboo slips, then he listed a detailed prescription and handed it to Mu Tianyun.

“Elderly sir, most of these medicinal ingredients are common, and only a few are rare, but you should have all of them,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile.

“Li Huo Spiritual Liquid!” Mu Tianyun carefully read through the prescription, profoundly shaken.

The prescription was extremely detailed, specifying the precise quantity of each ingredient, the order and timing of the concoction process, and even the exact control of the flame at every step.

“What a master! Mr. Feng is truly a master! These commonly seen ingredients can indeed remove fire poison when combined, and to think Mr. Feng could concoct such a powerful Spiritual Liquid from them!” Mu Tianyun exclaimed, once again changing his form of address.

“Elderly sir, remember not to leak the prescription. After you have memorized it, burn it immediately,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently.

“Rest assured, Mr. Feng, I will not reveal it! I will keep Mr. Feng’s great kindness in my heart forever!” Mu Tianyun excitedly bowed deeply to Feng Wuchen.

If this scene were witnessed by others, it would surely leave them aghast.

The number one expert of Xuantian Sect and the strongest alchemist in Yunzhou, bowing to a youth!

Gazing at Mu Tianyun, Feng Wuchen calmly said, “Elderly sir, the Alchemy Decision you practice is powerful but incomplete, which greatly hinders your alchemy realm. It would be better for you to cultivate a complete Alchemy Decision. Even if not as good as your current one, it would be more beneficial.”

After a pause, Feng Wuchen continued, “If I’m not mistaken, you must often feel inadequate when practicing alchemy, with your Soul Power fluctuating in strength. Sometimes, ordinary elixirs that you could concoct blindfolded end up failing. This is due to the Alchemy Decision.”

“You’re absolutely right, Mr. Feng is a person of divine abilities!” The more Mu Tianyun listened, the more astonished he became, admiring Feng Wuchen so much he almost wanted to kneel.

It was only their first meeting, and Feng Wuchen was able to discern so much just from observation; if this wasn’t the work of a divine being, what was?

“Mr. Feng, please come and visit our Xuantian Sect, so that we may repay your kindness,” Bai Ming said eagerly, his gaze toward Feng Wuchen becoming more respectful.

“There’s no need, I really don’t have time,” Feng Wuchen declined outright. He only had one year, and within this year, he had to make himself strong, not letting Feng Zhengxiong and the others down.

“Mr. Feng, please come to Xuantian Sect when you have time. I won’t be at peace my whole life if I can’t repay you,” Mu Tianyun pleaded hastily.

“I won’t be leaving Tiandu for the time being. I will visit when I have time, but I have other matters to attend to now, so I will take my leave,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently, gave a courteous fist salute, and then turned to leave.

Watching Feng Wuchen’s departing figure, Mu Tianyun was exceedingly excited, “Who would have thought that Tianzhou possessed such a noble expert? This is a blessing for the Empire, a blessing for all Alchemists!”

“Elder Sect Master, once the fire poison is expelled, you will have the chance to step into the Fifth Grade Alchemist realm!” Bai Ming said excitedly.

“Let’s return to Xuantian Sect immediately, and issue an order that none of the disciples should offend Mr. Feng!” Mu Tianyun quickly said, not daring to offend such a distinguished figure.

After leaving the restaurant, Feng Wuchen headed straight for the auction house.

The auction house was much larger in scale than Wanbao Pavilion, incomparable in size.

The auction house was bustling with people, all cultivators seeking to purchase treasures, generating a lively atmosphere.

“Tiandu Auction House! It’s also a major force, with so many from the Transformative Realm and Yuandan Realm powerhouses, including a Third-grade Alchemist,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself.

As Feng Wuchen arrived at the entrance of the auction house, a maid immediately came forward to greet him with a smile, respectfully saying, “Please come inside, young master!”

The beautiful maid was introducing the treasures of the auction house while leading Feng Wuchen inside, her attitude was very pleasant.

The maid led Feng Wuchen into the main hall, where another maid promptly brought over hot tea, providing service that was very meticulous, making one feel very comfortable.

The welcoming maid looked at Feng Wuchen and respectfully asked, “May I know what treasures Young Master Feng wishes to purchase?”

“Ten batches of Nine-Color Zijin Spiritual Liquid, each batch aged for thirty years, a block of Warm Jade, three Spirit Profound Stones, and a piece of Meteorite Iron,” Feng Wuchen replied slowly, his expression remaining calm throughout.

Upon hearing this, the maid showed a shock on her pretty face, and looking at Feng Wuchen, she asked, “Is Young Master Feng an Artifact Refiner?”

Feng Wuchen smiled faintly and said, “I’m in a bit of a hurry, go prepare them for me.”

The maid immediately felt distressed and said apologetically, “Young Master Feng, the auction house has all the treasures you are asking for, but Meteorite Iron is a rare and precious commodity, very scarce and extremely expensive, I need to report to the elders.”

“Hmm, go ahead,” Feng Wuchen nodded in response.

The existence of Meteorite Iron was indeed considered a rare treasure, a hundred times more precious than Xuantie!

Meteorite Iron was used in the creation of Spiritual Artifacts! Spiritual Artifacts were extremely rare and valuable, and Artifact Refiners were even rarer, hence the exorbitant price of Meteorite Iron.

As the saying goes, rarity brings value!

Feng Wuchen sought to purchase Meteorite Iron to make a Storage Ring, as the ordinary Storage Rings he had fashioned before had too little space.

“Meteorite Iron? Kid, do you know the price of Meteorite Iron? I’ve been in Tiandu for so many years, and I’ve never seen anyone who could afford Meteorite Iron. You think you can buy Meteorite Iron? That’s laughable,” a derisive sneer reached Feng Wuchen’s ears just as the maid walked away.

Feng Wuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he glanced at the speaker and asked, “Then tell me, how much does a piece of Meteorite Iron cost in Gold Coins?”

“One billion Gold Coins! No one in the entire Tiandu can afford it, unless they are a major force,” the man replied with a sneer, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt.

From the man’s attire, he appeared to be the young master of some family in Tiandu, with seven or eight guards following him.

“How do you know I can’t afford it?” Feng Wuchen asked with a cold smile.

The young man’s disdain grew, and he sneered, “With your poor look, forget about one billion, you can’t even come up with ten thousand Gold Coins. Stop embarrassing yourself here.”

“I’ll make a bet with you. The auction house will give the Meteorite Iron to me for free, I won’t have to pay a single coin, and if I win, I will break one of your hands. If you win, I’ll let you break both of my hands, how about that?” Feng Wuchen asked with a cold smile, a fierce glint in his eyes.

“Give it to you? Ha ha!” The young man was first startled, then burst out into boisterous laughter.

“Young Master Liu, what’s so amusing?” At that moment, a middle-aged man approached, greeting Young Master Feng with a polite smile.

“Manager Li, your timing is perfect. This brat wants to buy Meteorite Iron and bet with me that you guys will hand it over to him for free. He doesn’t have to pay a penny, and if he wins, he gets to break one of my hands. But if I win, I’ll break both his hands!” Young Master Liu said cheerfully.

Hearing this, Manager Li looked at Feng Wuchen, and sneered, “Kid, I advise you not to bet. It’s better not to end up with a broken hand. You can’t afford Meteorite Iron, and you also can’t afford to offend Young Master Liu. You’d better leave.”

Manager Li clearly looked down on Feng Wuchen, not just because he was a teenager, but even the strongest families in Tiandu couldn’t afford Meteorite Iron!

“If you kneel before me and kowtow right now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I’ll break one of your hands!” Feng Wuchen said icily, staring at Manager Li, his voice chilling.

“Oh? Quite a temper, quite arrogant. Do you know who you’re speaking to? Coming to make trouble in the auction house and not considering your own weight,” Young Master Liu sneered, reveling in the situation.

“Brat, if you kneel and kowtow to me now, I might let you leave alive. Otherwise, I will kill you right here and now!” Manager Li said coldly, a chilling murderous aura spreading out around him.
