Chapter 2195 - 2021: Beginning Alchemy!

Buzz—

An indistinct yet supreme pressure suddenly descended.

God King’s Pressure!

The Cosmic Sky Clan Leader was seated in the front-row box, unseen, yet released a faint God King’s pressure, instantly silencing the previously boisterous and lively auction event.

"Quiet!"

The God King spoke, and everyone felt as if doused with cold water, not daring to continue their raucous inquiries.

It was impossible for the Cosmic Sky Clan to divulge private information of their guests, so they had no choice but to conduct secret investigations.

The Three Great Alien Emperor Clans also hatched different plans, immediately mobilizing their subordinates and strong forces to begin investigations.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer sighed in relief and said, "Dear lords, although the Dragon Soul Grass has been bid on, the Dragon Scale Fruit is also a Dragon Accompanying Divine Fruit. It contains the essence of dragons and is extremely beneficial to Dragon Clan creatures. It is only slightly inferior to the Dragon Soul Grass and can purify and strengthen the Dragon Blood within Dragon Clan beings—"

Looking at the Dragon Scale Fruit on the auction platform, Ye Chen’s heart stirred as well. Even though he had acquired the Dragon Soul Grass, the most precious main ingredient, the Dragon Scale Fruit could be added to refine the Dragon God Pill, enhancing its already extraordinary effects.

Thus, he was also tempted.

"Starting bid for the Dragon Scale Fruit is five million—"

As the auctioneer spoke, the venue fell silent; for a brief moment, no one placed a bid.

The true objective of many influential figures was the Dragon Soul Grass; without it, the help the Dragon Scale Fruit could provide to common Dragon Clan members was limited.

As a result, many powerful factions were unwilling to bid.

The Three Great Alien Emperor Clans also closed their eyes slightly, not planning to bid.

The auctioneer on stage seemed quite awkward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Dragon Scale Fruit is also an exceptional Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure. Doesn’t anyone want to acquire it?"

After some time with still no bids, the auctioneer felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that the Dragon Scale Fruit might go unsold.

Typically, at auctions of this caliber, it is rare for items to go unsold; such occurrences are few and far between historically, yet one was appearing today.

After quite some time passed, and the venue remained so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the auctioneer had to smile wryly: "Since no one is willing to bid, the Dragon Scale Fruit will go unsol—"

Before he could say the word "unsold" completely, someone spoke, breaking the silence: "Five point five million!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to see it was Ye Chen who had spoken.

He actually placed a bid.

The auctioneer was somewhat grateful to Ye Chen for alleviating the awkward atmosphere, and said: "Five point five million, first call!"

"Five point five million, second call!"

"Five point five million, third call!"

"Congratulations to Master Qian for successfully winning the Dragon Scale Fruit at five point five million!"

This time, the auctioneer did not incite others to bid again, decisively letting Ye Chen win the bid.

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Scale Fruit was acquired smoothly, surprising Ye Chen.

"Hmph!"

The faces of the Three Great Alien Emperor Clan members did not look good, unable to believe that Ye Chen had easily won the bid for the Dragon Scale Fruit.

If they had known earlier, they would have at least interfered, if not to win, at least to drive the bid price several times higher, causing Ye Chen to suffer a loss.

Even without the Dragon Soul Grass, the auction was an event held once every ten years in the Second Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, and there were still quite a few extremely precious treasures being auctioned.

During the event, Ye Chen exhibited his wealth and poise, often bidding tens of millions without changing his expression, repeatedly raising the bid by millions, leaving many prominent figures shocked and astounded.

This is what an Alchemy Master is like? Lavishly spending millions without blinking.

Even the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans dared not rashly compete with Ye Chen, as he was truly relentless, always bidding in the millions without changing his expression, which even these Alien Emperor Clans did not dare to do.

The auction quickly reached its end.

It was over!

Ye Chen, having bid successfully on many treasures in one go, walked out of the box and left with the Corpse-devouring Worm Emperor and Aben, bowing in farewell as he passed the Cosmic Sky Clan Leader.

The Cosmic Sky Clan Leader frowned slightly, sighing softly; with the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans present, he hadn’t used the Transmission Array from the box to leave. Did he think he could withstand the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans?

Indeed, youthful vigor was evident.

Instantly, he felt somewhat disappointed in Ye Chen.

Though Ye Chen did not explain, if he knew that there were five Great Nine Tribulations God Kings secretly protecting Ye Chen, he might not have thought so.

Moreover, Ye Chen still needed to use the Yutian Sect in Cosmic Sky City to reach deep within the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain for the Emperor’s son banquet, so he naturally couldn’t leave just yet.

Back at the Cosmic Sky Clan’s high-class mansion, Ye Chen immediately prepared to refine a Dragon God Pill, setting down numerous great formations and beginning the process.

Meanwhile, regarding who ultimately acquired the Dragon Soul Grass, various top forces bribed some members of the Cosmic Sky Clan. In less than half a day, they obtained accurate information—

Qian!

It was he who, through Zhou Yun, met privately with the owner of the Dragon Soul Grass and traded for that Dragon Soul Grass plant.

So it was him.

Moreover, the owner of the Dragon Soul Grass was identified as the enigmatic youth seen walking with Qian.

The Dragon Soul Grass, containing the conditions for Dragon Clan to evolve into a Pure Blood True Spirit, was a treasure coveted by all major factions, naturally making everyone tempted.

However, Qian was currently in the high-class mansion within the Cosmic Sky Clan, with a Nine Tribulations God King present in the Cosmic Sky Clan’s territory, none dared intrude. Not even the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans wished to openly oppose a Nine Tribulations God King.

Though they were not afraid, this was still the domain of the Cosmic Sky Clan, and the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans were far into the depths of the Ten Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain, too distant to reach quickly.

Unless Qian and his group appeared, no prominent figures dared to intrude and take action.

More importantly, on the Cosmic Sky Battle Platform, Qian had slain a prominent Emperor Clan elder, showcasing his unparalleled battle prowess—invincible below the God King, who could match him?

Furthermore, seemingly aware of the attention from major factions and the intention of the Three Great Alien Emperor Clans to strike, he stayed within that high-class mansion, never appearing.

Everyone could only wait silently.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, Ye Chen was engaged in alchemy.

The Dragon God Pill is a Level 8 High-grade Pill, comparable to the Bodhi Pill, but its refining difficulty is considerably higher than that of the Bodhi Pill.

Importantly, other medicinal materials could still be found by relying on Ye Chen’s capabilities within a short time, and he had prepared two sets. Only the Dragon Soul Grass was unique: he had only one plant. If the alchemy failed, it would be uncertain when another Dragon Soul Grass could be found for another attempt.

Thus, when refining the Dragon God Pill, Ye Chen was vastly more cautious than when refining the Bodhi Pill.
