The Dark Seal Auction House has truly become the center of conversation in the Black Corner Region these days, mobilizing not only the powerhouses of the region but also attracting those from other areas.
Such Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques can enhance the foundation of a force.
However, Canaan Academy has chosen not to participate.
The strong ones from the Black List gather in Black Seal City.
Blood Sect, Eight Fan Gate, Black Emperor Sect, Demon Flame Valley... countless forces have moved upon hearing the wind.
"I say, Yuan Yi, your Eight Fan Gate has really gotten your hands on some fine goods. Do you think with your strength you can keep this auction safe? Heh heh heh..." The Earth Demon Old Ghost, clad in a black robe, stood in the air; he too had come for the auction.
As one of the Black Corner Region's supreme powerhouses, a High-Level Dou Zong in existence, the Earth Demon Old Ghost had long since lost interest in ordinary treasures. But anything of the Earth Class was something even he had to take seriously.
"It seems we have the master of the Demon Flame Valley here. If a real super powerhouse came to rob the items we're auctioning, naturally we wouldn't have the power to protect them. However, the expert who has placed these items in our care is not so easy to speak with. Can you guess what kind of strength that expert has?" Yuan Yi stepped forward and spoke gravely.
Emperor Han Feng, the Golden Silver Elders and many other strong ones of the Black Corner Region had darkened expressions at this moment.
To bring out such a treasure for auction, they too dared not act rashly.
Offending some treasures they couldn't afford to offend would truly be playing with fire.
"It seems we'll have to go about the auction by the book. I must get my hands on those Cultivation Techniques for the soul." Han Feng's eyes were full of greed. He hadn't expected the Black Corner Region to offer so much more beyond Canaan Academy's Strange Fire.
If he could acquire those Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, breaking through to become a Dou Zong should be much faster.
Once he made that breakthrough, he would have a great chance of becoming a Seventh Rank Alchemist.
Dressed in a green robe, Han Feng stood there looking to be only about thirty, his long black hair hanging to his shoulders, and his body seemingly always carrying a strange, medicinal fragrance that made one involuntarily feel a closeness. On the chest of his green Alchemist robe was painted a simple Alchemy Cauldron badge with six golden stripes representing his status as a Sixth-Grade Alchemist.
Although Han Feng had not yet reached Dou Zong, he was the center of attention, surrounded by many strong ones.
Everyone knew that Han Feng's future was boundless.
"Teacher, is that Han Feng?"
Xiao Yan too appeared at the auction, his expression hostile upon seeing Han Feng.
Yao Lao became emotionally unstable at the sight of him as well.
Han Feng was an orphan saved by Yao Chen, who grew up under the doting of Yao Chen. With his ungrateful nature, he was incited by the cunning Mu Bone to kill his mentor, Yao Chen, all to seize a Cultivation Technique known as "Burning Decision." Han Feng, who had reduced Yao Chen to ashes out of fear that Yao Chen's close friend, the Wind Venerable Ancient Spirit, would uncover the truth, fled with Yao Chen's relics to the Black Corner Region to become a tyrant and was hailed as the number one Alchemist in the region, the "Medicine Emperor."
It could be said that Han Feng was Yao Lao's inner demon.
The pain of having his beloved disciple harm him for "Burning Decision" had always been unbearable for him.
His initial hesitance in accepting Xiao Yan as a disciple had also been a reminder of Han Feng.
"Teacher, rest assured, I will kill him sooner or later. Han Feng is just a Douhuang, not even comparable to Xu Ran. Even if I'm no match for Xu Ran, dealing with Han Feng shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Yan spoke seriously. He held great respect for Yao Lao; now, Yao Lao was the only family he had.
It was Yao Lao who had given him the courage to face Xu Ran. Although Yao Lao was not his father, in his heart, Yao Lao and his father Xiao Zhan were the same.
His father did not trust him, but Yao Lao had always believed in him, encouraged him, and would even do many things against his principles for him.
"So many powers have come? If I strike now, could I sweep them all up in one go?" Xu Ran suddenly had a crazy thought.
"Don't."
"They haven't offended you, why do you always think about bullying them?" Ya Fei, sitting on Xu Ran's lap, said discontentedly.
With Xu Ran's strength, it was certainly possible.
But if so many strong ones in the Black Corner Region were to die suddenly here, then...
She could imagine, the entire Black Corner Region would probably be in tremendous shock.
"I'm just saying it, you know. Am I that bloodthirsty? However, it also depends on whether they will provoke my Ya Fei in the future. If they dare to disrespect you then, extinguishing them wouldn't be out of the question," Xu Ran said with a smile, pinching Ya Fei's delicate and fair cheek.
"There probably won't be anyone who dares to do so. You're so strong. Even without you, I am now a Douzong!" Ya Fei said with pride. Even in the Black Corner Region, her "Cultivation Level" could now be considered among the top powerhouses.
There weren't many Douzong "Cultivation Levels" in the Black Corner Region.
Although Ya Fei's actual combat capability was far from that of other Douzongs, her "Cultivation Level" alone was enough to crush countless Douhuang (Battle Emperor) Strong Ones.
Moreover, Xu Ran had now specially created some Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques for Ya Fei. As she trained with them over time, her strength would also increase.
"That's true. Hehe, I've helped you so much, shouldn't you reward your husband somehow?" Xu Ran suddenly looked at Ya Fei with a mischievous smile.
"Really?"
Ya Fei blushed, gave Xu Ran a glance, kissed his cheek, and then looked up at Xu Ran with her watery, charming big eyes.
"No, a kiss on the lips is what I need, I don't feel it on my cheek." Xu Ran chuckled.
"Dream on," Ya Fei hummed softly, pressing a kiss on Xu Ran's lips.
Outside.
Yuan Yi personally conducted the auction and brought out that ancient Dou Technique.
The countless powerhouses below watched the Dou Technique intently, frantically bidding for it.
In just a moment's time, it reached an astronomical price, increasing the highest price ever auctioned at the Black Seal City Grand Auction House by seven to eight times.
Everyone was green with envy.
So much money, it would take those major powers seven or eight years to earn.
In the end, Han Feng got his hands on the Dou Technique.
Emperor Han Feng, as the number one Alchemist of the Black Corner Region, naturally had wealth that others couldn't compare with.
Alchemists don't have much else, but when it comes to fighting, they can summon a group of strong ones, and paying money is absolutely no issue.
Just selling a few Elixirs can make them a fortune.
Xu Ran didn't care about that amount of money; if Xu Ran were to sell Elixirs, he would surely accumulate wealth rapidly and become a super-wealthy tycoon. But then again, everything on this Continent would sooner or later be his. No matter whose hands it's in now, it's only temporarily for their use.
