Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Blood Jade Bodhi Chapter 357: Chapter 357 Blood Jade Bodhi Easily helping the Zhang family through difficulties and acquiring the Immortal Tool Pavilion, Feng Wuchen felt extremely good and utterly exhilarated.
Moreover, Feng Wuchen also received the Zhang familyâs artifact jade and the token of the Immortal Tool Pavilion, both of which were priceless treasures.
The artifact jade would allow Feng Wuchen to not worry about artifact refining materials, and even the materials for alchemy wouldnât be a concern.
With the token of the Immortal Tool Pavilion and its prestige and status on the Mainland, the token was like a life-saving charm!
âBrother Feng, I never knew your artifact refining was so terrifying. Youâre better than the number one artifact refining sect on the Mainland,â Liu Qingyang said in shock.
Not even twenty years old and already surpassing the realm of a Ninth Grade Refining Master, Liu Qingyang was unwilling to believe it, yet found himself unable to explain it away.
Sometimes Liu Qingyang felt that all of this was a dream, a very long dream that started the day he met Feng Wuchen and still hadnât woken from it.
Zhang Junlan, on the other hand, didnât feel like he was dreaming. He actually felt that Feng Wuchen didnât seem like a youth under twenty years old with his incredible abilities; he felt more like one of those top experts from the hidden lands of the Mainland.
âIt must be my imagination,â Zhang Junlan forcibly shook his head to not think about it.
âZhang Junlan, whatâs wrong with you?â Miao Qingqing asked, noticing Zhang Junlanâs distraction and feeling very curious.
Zhang Junlan shook his head vigorously and said somewhat frantically, âNothing, nothing.â
Looking towards Feng Wuchen, Zhang Junlan said, âTeacher, not far ahead is Xingjie City where the auction is located, the biggest auction of Wuji Domain. Whatever materials you want, you should be able to find them there.â
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, âAfter buying the materials, letâs grab something to eat then head back to Jiuzhou.â
Feng Wuchen went to the auction to buy materials for refining the Seven Stars Primordial Spirit Pill, a very precious elixir, which were too scarce in Jiuzhou, but the biggest auction of Wuji Domain would definitely meet Feng Wuchenâs needs.
By refining the Seven Stars Primordial Spirit Pill, Feng Wuchen would be able to use the technique of dividing spirits to enhance his strength and help to increase the cultivation of his family and the people of Sky Pavilion.
Xingjie City was bustling and prosperous, gathering many strong people from the star realms.
In the city, there were numerous Tianyuan Realm experts, busy streets, and a constant stream of people.
âJunior Master Zhang!â
âGreetings to Junior Master Zhang!â
As they entered Xingjie City, the practitioners on the street greeted Zhang Junlan with respect.
The Zhang family was renowned throughout Wuji Domain. As the Mainlandâs number one talented Artifact Refiner, Zhang Junlan was famous across the entire Mainland.
In Xingjie, Zhang Junlanâs reputation was known to everyone.
In contrast, nobody recognized Feng Wuchen and the others. Those who didnât know any better thought they were Zhang Junlanâs attendants.
But if they were attendants, why would they be walking in front of Zhang Junlan?
âBeing the Mainlandâs number one talented Artifact Refiner is different after all, everyone recognizes you wherever you go,â Liu Qingyang said with a sigh, full of admiration.
âAh, you donât understand my pain,â Zhang Junlan said with a helpless bitter smile.
âPain?â Miao Qingqing looked at Zhang Junlan with astonishment.
As the young master of the Zhang family and the Mainlandâs number one talented Artifact Refiner, what pain could he possibly have?
A status many people dream of, yet Zhang Junlan spoke of pain.
âJunior Master Zhang!â
âJunior Master Zhang!â
As Miao Qingqing and Liu Qingyang looked on in bewilderment, a burst of cries from women suddenly came from the other end of the street.
âHere comes the pain!â Hearing the cries of the women, Zhang Junlan shuddered, turned and ran, meanwhile shouting, âTeacher, if you take the next left, youâll see the auction house!â
Feng Wuchen and the others turned their heads to look towards the other end of the street, and instantly understood the nature of Zhang Junlanâs pain.
Dozens of young women of all shapes and appearances were sprinting towards them at an alarming speed, their momentum commanding the entire street.
The people on the streets hurriedly scurried out of the way in panic.
Feng Wuchen and his companions were stunned, quickly sidestepping to let them pass.
Ling Xiaoxiao and Miao Qingqing were left open-mouthed in shock.
âThisâŠthis is considered pain? This is what countless men dream of!â Liu Qingyang was utterly stunned, unable to help but swallow hard.
âLucky guy,â Feng Wuchen also blinked blankly, genuinely surprised by the number of women pursuing Zhang Junlan, a fact that would make countless people envious.
âBrother Feng, letâs go. Itâll be a while before we can wait for him to come back,â Ling Xiaoxiao said with a laugh, covering her mouth, and with that laugh, she practically stole the souls of everyone on the street.
âLetâs go,â Feng Wuchen shook his head.
âI hope he can make it back safely,â Liu Qingyang said sympathetically.
As Zhang Junlan had directed, Feng Wuchen and his companions quickly arrived at the grandest auction of the Wuji Domain, the Wuji Auction House.
The Wuji Auction House was enormous, its palace buildings grand and imposing, and could be considered as one of the giants of the Wuji Domain.
âThe four of you are welcome,â the guards of the auction house greeted them respectfully.
âAs expected of the Wuji Domain auction house, as majestic as the Zhang familyâs palaces, and there are even several auras of Heavenly Human Realm experts. A great power truly is extraordinary,â Liu Qingyang exclaimed in amazement.
The Wuji Domainâs auction was incredibly large, ten times the size of Jiuzhouâs auction house, and it gathered countless treasures from the entire Wuji Domain.
As long as you have money, whatever treasure you desire, the Wuji Domain has it.
Of course, for those treasures that gold coins canât buy, itâs enough just to think about them.
Feng Wuchen and his three companions walked straight into the auction house, which was as crowded as a marketplace, teeming with strong individuals as numerous as the clouds.
A graceful and beautiful maid approached them with a respectful smile, âWelcome to the Wuji Auction House, what treasures might the four of you be interested in?â
âHelp me prepare these medicinal ingredients. I need ten of each, thank you,â Feng Wuchen handed over a list with a polite smile.
The maid took the list, glanced at it briefly, and her beautiful eyes clearly became more respectful as she smiled, âPlease wait a moment, I will prepare them for you.â
Just from the list of ingredients, the maid had guessed that Feng Wuchen was an Alchemist.
âBig Brother Feng, Zhang Junlan has run off for so long without coming back, he hasnât been kidnapped, has he?â Liu Qingyang said with a smile that seemed to find joy in othersâ misfortune, his gaze occasionally shifting toward the entrance of the auction house.
âWhy? Does Big Brother Liu want to go help?â Miao Qingqing asked with a smile.
Seeing Miao Qingqingâs expression, Liu Qingyang was frightened into a cold sweat and chuckled, âHow could that be?â
âHmph!â Miao Qingqing glared fiercely at Liu Qingyang, scaring him into silence.
Before long, the maid came back with a Storage Ring and respectfully handed it to Feng Wuchen, saying, âThese are the medicinal ingredients you requested, totaling thirteen million Gold Coins.â
âThank you,â Feng Wuchen nodded, took the Storage Ring, and paid the Gold Coins.
As he paid the Gold Coins, Feng Wuchen inadvertently saw something and his gaze moved past the maid in front of him to look at something behind her, his expression somewhat surprised.
âBlood Jade Bodhi?â Feng Wuchen exclaimed in astonishment, spotting a Blood Jade Bodhi that looked like a ruby, encased in a crystal-clear treasure box on a shelf behind the maid!
Feng Wuchen had previously obtained a Blood Jade Bodhi from Ling Xiaoxiao, so he had a deep impression of it and could recognize it at a glance. Moreover, this one seemed much older than the one Ling Xiaoxiao had given him.
The Blood Jade Bodhi was a precious treasure nurtured by the tears of a Ninth Order Ice Flame Giant Python. Those with high years contained immense power, and they could even help someone in the Heavenly Human Realm improve their cultivation.
âIt really is a Blood Jade Bodhi,â Ling Xiaoxiao also said in surprise.
âYoung Master has good eyesight, this is the only Blood Jade Bodhi in the auction, a full fifty years old. Itâs sufficient to help a Tianyuan Realm cultivator improve their level within a short period,â the maid said gleefully.
âTianyuan Realm cultivators can improve a level?â Liu Qingyangâs eyes widened to their limits.
âHow are you selling it?â Feng Wuchen eagerly asked, already having taken a liking to this Blood Jade Bodhi.
âIf the Young Master wants it, I will go get the manager right now. I donât have the authority to decide on this, please wait a moment,â the maid said respectfully.
âI appreciate it,â Feng Wuchen nodded, determined to win the Blood Jade Bodhi. How could he pass up such a treasure?
âBig Brother Feng, do you have enough money to buy it?â Liu Qingyang asked hesitantly.
âA few billion Gold Coins should be enough, right?â Feng Wuchen was unsure. A fifty-year-old Blood Jade Bodhi was a rare find and undoubtedly would cost a fortune.
âSeveral billionâŠâ Liu Qingyang looked resigned.
Feng Wuchen thought to himself, âThe cultivation level of Father should be close to reaching the Seventh Layer of the Yuandan Realm; with this Blood Jade Bodhi, once the violent energy is neutralized, it should help Father break through to the Tianyuan Realm, especially with the Demon Blood Vermilion Fruit.â
Before long, an excited middle-aged man ran over, in his thirties or forties, thrilled to hear that someone wanted to buy the Blood Jade Bodhi, so excited he seemed about to leap into the sky.
The man was Wu Yu Mountain, the manager of the auction house, whose cultivation had reached the Ninth Level of the Tianyuan Realm.
âManager Wu, this Young Master is interested in the Blood Jade Bodhi,â the maid introduced Wu Yu Mountain.
With a polite fist salute, Wu Yu Mountain smiled, âYoung friend, I am the manager of the auction house. May I ask if you are sure you want to buy the Blood Jade Bodhi?â
âName your price,â Feng Wuchen said straightforwardly.
Wu Yu Mountain became even more excited and smiled, âLittle brother, this Blood Jade Bodhi is the last one in the auction, a full fifty years old. The auction house has set the price at seventy billion Gold Coins.â
âSeventy billion?â Liu Qingyangâs eyes almost popped out.
Startled by the astronomical figure, Feng Wuchen froze, but remembering the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus from the Jiuzhou auction house valued at fifty billion, he soon reassured himself.
Seeing Feng Wuchenâs stunned expression, Wu Yu Mountainâs face subtly changed.
Feng Wuchen couldnât produce seventy billion Gold Coins.
Even Ling Xiaoxiao wouldnât carry that much Gold Coins on her person.
âIâll trade it for a bit of the Earth Heart Sacred Lotus,â Feng Wuchen secretly decided.
After deciding, Feng Wuchen spoke up, âManager Wu, Iâll take the Blood Jade Bodhi!â
Right then, a guard hurried over, whispering a few words into Wu Yu Mountainâs ear. Wu Yu Mountain then said, âYoung friend, please wait a moment, I have to greet a distinguished guest first.â
âIâm in no rush,â Feng Wuchen nodded. It was common for the auction house to have distinguished guests, and he understood.
It didnât take long for Wu Yu Mountain to return.
âYoung friend, Iâm truly sorry. The Blood Jade Bodhi has already been reserved by another distinguished guest. Why donât you look at other treasures?â Wu Yu Mountain smiled faintly, his insincerity not visible.
âOther distinguished guests have reserved it?â Miao Qingqing said, puzzled.
Liu Qingyang frowned and asked sternly, âManager Wu, you never mentioned a reservation before. We decided to buy the Blood Jade Bodhi first, and now you say someone else reserved itâwhat do you mean by this?â
