786: Chapter 786 Final item

Chapter 786 Final item

Inside his own private room, the golden-armored Zi Hu who was sitting on his couch with a grumpy expression on his face narrowed his eyes as he turned his attention towards Zhuan Jie, before he snorted and said in a cold voice2

''Zhuan Jie, even a coward like you dares to call me stupid? Fine then, why don't you try bidding for the earth flame now? I can promise you that as long as you manage to get your hands on it, I will immediately use this 'Soul-locking talisman' on you and seal your soul. I am sure that the talisman's effects will be even more powerful on a peak rank 3 Sovereign realm cultivator like you.''

The silver-haired woman from the 'White ice city' and the rest of the experts inside the private rooms were all startled when they heard this exchange between Zi Hu and Zhuan Jie, before loud discussions filled their rooms soon after

''Haha everyone knows that Zi Hu has a short temper and Zhuan Jie decided to mock him right after he was forced to pay a million high-grade spirit stones for that talisman. No wonder he is angry.''

''Zhuan Jie dug his own hole. With one less person to compete for the earth flame, the chances for the rest of us will be even higher!''

Zhuan Jie's expression instantly changed when he heard the mocking voices of the experts inside the private rooms around him, before he turned his attention towards Zi Hu's silhouette and shouted angrily

''Zi Hu, you dare? You know that I am the right-hand man of the valley lord of the 'Black mist valley'! Even if you are a general of the Northern Sovereign, you should know your limits! Are you saying that you are willing to waste your 'Soul-locking talisman' on me over such a trivial matter? You should know that even if you manage to kill me, the valley lord will definitely take revenge for me in the future!''

Zhuan Jie gritted his teeth as he said the last sentence. It was truly humiliating for a Sovereign realm expert like him to resort to threats, but he knew that with the 'Soul-locking talisman' in his hands, Zi Hu was the one who had the upper hand.

Forget about Zhuan Jie himself, even middle-stage Sovereign realm experts would think twice before offending Zi Hu right now.

Narrowing his eyes, Zi Hu waved his right hand, dispelling the obscuring formation from his private room and allowing Shun Long and the others to have a good look at him, before he turned his gaze towards Zi Hu and said mockingly

''You are right. You are not worthy of me wasting this 'Soul-locking talisman' on you, and I indeed had another reason why I purchased it today. However, the value of the earth flame itself is definitely no lower than this talisman, so, I don't mind exchanging it if I get to take your life and the earth flame in return. As for the valley lord of your 'Black mist valley'... hahaha, others may be afraid of him, but do you really think that I would be scared of an empty threat like that? Did you forget who is the person standing behind me?''

Zi Hu's uproarious laughter send chills to Zhuan Jie's spine who regretted offending this madman, while solemn looks appeared on the faces of the surrounding experts present in the auction venue.

Although Zi Hu was extremely overbearing, everyone understood that he was right. Behind him was the Northern Sovereign, the strongest expert in the northern part of the central region. Why would Zi Hu be afraid of the 'Black mist valley'.

In fact, would the valley lord of the 'Black mist valley' even dare to try and kill one of the generals under the Northern Sovereign?

Sensing the stifling atmosphere that had covered the entire fifth floor, the yellow-robed auctioneer, Jia Guiying took a deep breath to calm herself down, before she turned to look at the experts in the private rooms and clapped her hands once, attracting everyone's attention, before she said with a smile on her face

''Honorable guests, let us continue with the last item of our auction. It is indeed what everyone here today has been waiting for. 

Our final item of today's auction is an extremely rare item... a true earth flame!''

The moment that Jia Guiying finished speaking, Shun Long could sense the atmosphere inside the fifth floor of the 'White tiger chamber of commerce' abruptly heating up, before an old man in white robes whose body was completely drenched in sweat walked towards the main stage of the auction venue with slow steps.

The old man whose cultivation was at the early stages of the Dao Emperor realm had both of his hands stretched in front of him as he walked towards the main stage, while in between his hands, a purple-colored flame could be seen flickering there.

The eyes of every single expert inside the fifth floor instantly lit up the moment that they saw this purple-colored flame, while many of them even forgot about Zi Hu's and Zhuan Jie's 'fight', as Jia Guiying's voice entered everyone's ears soon after

''Esteemed guests, as you have all guessed, our final item is this purple-colored earth flame. This earth flame was found by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the depths of the 'Elderwood mountain' right outside our Murong city.

As many of you already know, each earth flame is unique and has its own properties, as well as an element of its own. The moment that a cultivator absorbs an earth flame, they will not only be able to use the earth flame itself during alchemy or when they inscribe formations, or even during a fight, but they will also be able to gain insights into the element of the earth flame.

As for this earth flame in front of me, our 'White tiger chamber of commerce' has already verified, that the moment that an expert absorbs it, that person will be able to gain insights into the Dao of Fire.

The starting price for this earth flame will be 500.000 high-grade spirit stones, while each subsequent increase must be a minimum of 5000 high-grade spirit stones higher than the last bid.''
