Chapter 689: Struck Gold!
Heaven-Shaker · 第689章 捡到宝了!
The demon clan woman's threat made many people change color, all secretly thinking this woman was too arrogant. The Alchemy Dao Alliance was not to be trifled with; a group of alchemists going berserk would make the Central Region tremble.
After a brief interlude, the auction once again erupted into fervor. The treasures brought out next were all top-tier treasures of the cultivation world, including some rare precious pills.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the door was knocked on. The woman who entered left Yang Tian somewhat stunned.
"What, don't you recognize me?" Dan Xueyi's beautiful eyes shimmered with a white divine light. As her gaze flowed, she looked at the young man before her and teased.
"How could I? Please, have a seat." A smile appeared on his face as Yang Tian stood up to welcome her.
"I really don't know what you used to trade, but a bunch of old geezers got extremely excited." She was quite puzzled, handing the jade platform to Yang Tian.
Able to suppress a divine stone, it was probably a top-tier divine ability of the cultivation world. Dan Xueyi was very eager to know.
"Why don't you ask the Grand Elder?" Yang Tian was unwilling to say more, his eyes fixed on five pieces of pitch-black iron sheets. These five pieces varied in size, and when pieced together, they were about the size of a palm.
"Tch, those old geezers won't tell me." Dan Xueyi grumbled indignantly.
A hint of seriousness appeared deep in Yang Tian's eyes. He scanned the five black iron sheets back and forth, his expression uncertain.
The Divine Dragon Soul-Suppressing Jade Pendant hummed, and the artifact spirit conveyed a joyful emotion, yet it seemed unable to see through it either.
"No, this iron sheet is unusual..." Yang Tian's soul power swept over them. The five iron sheets were ancient and grand, shaped like mountains, sometimes like an abyss.
Within Yang Tian's body, myriad strands of auspicious colors trembled slightly, as if resonating with the iron sheets, emitting a very mysterious fluctuation.
"Resonating with Creation, what kind of refining material is this!" Yang Tian was astonished, exclaiming inwardly: "Could this be an unknown refining material, perhaps a divine material!"
Yang Tian's heart shook. The inside of the iron sheets could not be seen clearly; soul power scanning showed no movement, but the Creation Divine Qi resonated with them, very mysterious.
"Hey, are you listening to me?!" Seeing Yang Tian staring at the iron sheets, Dan Xueyi feigned anger, a surge of anger rising on her delicate and alluring face.
She was very indignant. Was she not as good-looking as these scraps of iron?
"Uh..." Yang Tian snapped back to reality, seeing her about to lose her temper, and chuckled: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Huffing, Dan Xueyi felt a wave of irritation. Glancing at the iron sheets, she said discontentedly: "What scripture is recorded on this? Why are you so engrossed?"
"If your Alchemy Dao Alliance can't figure it out, how could I understand?" Yang Tian shrugged and smiled.
"You're fooling no one but ghosts." She furrowed her brows and pouted, then her gaze fell on the two precious herbs below, saying: "These are Soul Fusion Flowers, one is fourteen thousand years old, the other nine thousand."
At this moment, she said with some surprise: "You're not planning to refine this Soul Fusion Pill for the Alchemy Convention, are you? The difficulty of this pill is not small; if you fail, you'll have no one to cry to."
"If I don't try, how will I know?" Hearing this, Yang Tian touched his nose, frowned slightly, and said: "Why is one missing? Weren't there three? And this one hasn't reached ten thousand years."
"This kind of precious herb is too rare, and it's a rare soul-type precious herb. They asked me to compensate you. Tell me what else you need; as long as the auction house has it, we'll definitely satisfy you."
Touching his nose, Yang Tian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly produced a silver sheet of paper and handed it to Dan Xueyi.
"Can you help me find the remaining page of this thing?" Yang Tian asked with some anticipation. The essence of the Divine Sword Canon was the final form, which could ignore defensive measures.
"Eh?" A hint of surprise appeared in Dan Xueyi's eyes. She examined the silver paper for a moment and said somewhat oddly: "So it was you who auctioned it off last time at Demon Spirit City?"
Seeing Dan Xueyi's surprise, Yang Tian recalled the scene from before; at that time, Dan Xueyi had indeed bid.
"Do you have the remaining page?" A hint of joy arose in his heart, and Yang Tian inquired.
"Not bad." Her jade finger twirled a strand of hair on her shoulder, her cheeks like a blooming lotus, and she said slyly: "I can give it to you, but you have to tell me what this is."
"What's sealed inside is a sword technique. You can't open it at all." Yang Tian didn't hide it either, smiling: "This sword technique requires a specific cultivation method to unlock."
"So that's it, no wonder this piece of paper couldn't be opened." Dan Xueyi nodded. Indeed, there were many strange things in the world that recorded techniques; their alliance had some.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll go get it for you." Slowly rising, Dan Xueyi moved with light steps and walked out slowly.
The moment the door closed, Yang Tian left a strand of soul power at the auction, and his body appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Yang Tian had five iron blocks beside him. At this moment, his entire body radiated surging auspicious colors, with streaks of divine rainbows dazzling and brilliant. Suddenly, he poured them into the iron sheets.
When these strands touched the iron sheets, the Creation Divine Qi flourished and instantly drilled into the iron sheets. The five iron sheets simultaneously emitted light, brilliant and resplendent.
"Indeed, not an ordinary object!" Nodding, Yang Tian's entire body resonated with Dao sounds, and the speed of the Creation Divine Qi's eruption surged like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, pouring into the iron sheets.
As energy poured in, the black iron sheets, which seemed covered in a layer of rust, now turned into five colors, exuding a hazy divine charm.
With a hum, a terrifying divine might suddenly erupted in the world, as if something had come to life. The five iron sheets radiated dazzling divine splendor, flowing with the mysteries of the cosmos.
Just as Yang Tian was astonished, a hazy giant tripod suddenly appeared in the void, as if traversing from ancient times. It erupted with supreme divine might, moving through the clouds and mist, extraordinary but only a phantom.
"What is that!" A blazing divine light burst from his eyes. Yang Tian's heart shook as he saw the illusory giant tripod and exclaimed.
"Focus, observe the divine charm of the tripod and its form!" At that moment, a rebuke sounded in Yang Tian's ear.
"Who..." Yang Tian's eyes bulged. A small dragon appeared in the void, none other than the Demon Dragon.
The Demon Dragon's eyes fixed on the giant tripod, a hint of shock deep in its gaze. It too was observing the tripod's divine charm.
"Senior Demon Dragon!" Yang Tian hadn't expected that the long-silent Demon Dragon would be stirred. This was a remnant of its divine will. It was also the first time Yang Tian heard the Demon Dragon speak.
He hesitated only for a moment, then came to his senses, his gaze instantly locking onto the giant tripod in the void.
This was a giant tripod with three legs and two ears, colored in five hues. Its mouth was like the sky, its legs like the earth, its body like a world, bearing the origin of all things. This giant tripod was like a world!
Moreover, the surrounding five-colored tripod walls spread out like a grand world, densely inscribed with characters. Each character was blindingly bright and impossible to see clearly.
Yang Tian's face flushed red, his blood energy churning, his body feeling as if it would explode.
This giant tripod was too terrifying. Just by observing its divine charm, Yang Tian's body could not bear it. While greatly shocked, he carefully studied its divine charm.
He observed its form, trying to record it, but found that the jade slip could not withstand it and directly exploded!
"What is this thing? Even a jade slip can't record it; it just exploded!" Cold sweat broke out on Yang Tian's forehead. He vaguely felt that the origin of this giant tripod was extremely terrifying!
The giant tripod seemed to traverse the void, directly projecting a phantom. It existed for only ten breaths before slowly dissipating.
The five-colored stone fell from the void, now changed in appearance. The scripture still existed, but its form was vastly different, containing an unfathomable divine might.
Licking his dry lips, Yang Tian turned to look at the somewhat regretful Demon Dragon and couldn't help asking: "Senior Demon Dragon, what treasure is this? Why is it so terrifying?"
