Although they both cultivated the Martial Dao, they each had their own specialties. Human Martial Techniques focused on state and form, while Deity Race Martial Techniques focused on spirituality. They developed in a slightly different direction. However, it was hard to say which was stronger and which was weaker. It still depended on the individual.
"The starting price is fifty thousand Astral Coins. Start bidding!"
After Old Qin finished his introduction, he looked down with some anticipation. No matter what, this was a peak Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. There would definitely be a market for it.
"Vital Qi is still fine. However, Deity Race Martial Techniques have very high requirements for Mental Energy. If you really practice it, you will only be able to bring out the might of a regular Heaven Ranked Martial Technique."
"However, this price is still fair. You did not ask for an exorbitant price. If it does not exceed one hundred thousand Astral Coins, I can consider it."
Although it was a Deity Race Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, many people were still very interested. After a few bids, this Myriad Heaven Divine Fist reached eighty thousand Astral Coins.
"One hundred and fifty thousand Astral Coins!"
A voice filled with desolate killing intent came from one of the VIP rooms on the second floor. In an instant, many excited cultivators were killed.
That voice seemed to have a strong deterrent force. The moment it appeared, no one dared to make a sound.
It looked like the owner of this voice was familiar to many of the cultivators here. Several of the cultivators who had the ability to bid remained silent. They did not want to compete with that person, or rather, they did not dare to.
"The third rank of the Ten Evils, Zong Zhenghao, actually wants this Deity Race Martial Technique. This is really strange. His famous consummate technique is already a peak Heaven Ranked Martial Technique."
"Who knows? It is impossible to guess the thoughts of these major characters."
Soft discussions broke out in the surroundings. It turned out that the person who bid was the infamous Zong Zhenghao in Hunluo City. The others did not want to get involved with him, so they gave up on bidding.
Although my Dragon Claw Fist is barely sufficient, it can no longer keep up with my progress.
Back when I fought with Wu Yuankai, if I had an even more powerful Fist Technique, I would not have needed to use schemes to scare away my opponent; I would have been able to make him stay.
This Myriad Heaven Divine Fist is like it was tailor-made for me. My Vital Qi and Mental Energy are far stronger than ordinary people. I can definitely cultivate this Martial Technique to the peak.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and quickly made a decision. He said, "Two hundred thousand Astral Coins!"
The entire arena was silent. Countless gazes turned towards Xiao Chen. Did this fellow not know who he was fighting with?
That was the third-ranked of Hunluo City's Ten Great Evildoers, a bona fide Martial Sage expert. He was definitely a major character in Hunluo City.
The true disciples of the six great system-allocated sects were also very curious. They gathered their gazes on Xiao Chen, wanting to find out just who this person was.
What trump card did Xiao Chen have to dare offend a Martial Sage loose cultivator?
However, all of them were disappointed without exception. Xiao Chen's Divine Sense formed an invisible barrier around him, blocking all the incoming mental power outside.
"Haha! Little fellow, you are good. I'll leave this Deity Race Martial Technique with you for safekeeping."
A sinister laugh sounded in his mind. Zong Zhenghao had given up on the auction. It seemed like he was planning to kill and rob.
That made sense. Loose cultivators had always been like this. Furthermore, they needed to save enough Astral Coins for the broken Mulberry Sword. They would not spend too much on this Deity Race Martial Technique.
Xiao Chen ignored this person's threat. The Myriad Heaven Divine Fist was very useful to him. He had to obtain it. No matter who it was, he had to fight for it.
The grand finale of the auction was about to begin. However, Xiao Chen was not in the mood to remain. After offending a Martial Sage, it was best to leave early.
Taking advantage of the bustling auction, Xiao Chen quietly left the hall. He went to the back and paid the two hundred thousand Astral Coins, obtaining the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist.
The cover and paper of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist were all golden. When Xiao Chen held it in his hand, it felt very heavy. A divine aura spread out from it.
Xiao Chen casually flipped through a few pages. Immediately, he felt his Mental Energy being drawn out like a surging river.
Golden light continuously poured out from the pages. As the light flickered, the divine aura became even more vast.
Scenes of deities fighting and killing appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. Those were distant myths and epics, magnificent and boundless.
Xiao Chen closed the book with a 'pa' sound. Although he appeared fatigued, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
To others, the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist could only be used as an ordinary Heaven Ranked Martial Technique. However, to Xiao Chen, it was a bona fide peak Heaven Ranked Martial Technique.
"Young Master Xiao, Venerable Nangong invites you for a gathering."
The manservant in the hall said respectfully to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen had expected this long ago. He withdrew the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist and smiled. "Lead the way."
In the most magnificent room on the top floor of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, Xiao Chen saw Nangong Qiong toying with the Breaking Sage Pill's Alchemic Recipe.
Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony. He sat down across from Nangong Qiong and poured himself a cup of fine wine on the table.
"Haha! Young Master Xiao's boldness is truly admirable. A trash-like Breaking Sage Pill actually sold for four hundred thousand Astral Coins."
Nangong Qiong had a rough understanding of Alchemy. However, when she looked at the Alchemic Recipe for the Breaking Sage Pill, she felt confused. The method of extracting liquid, condensing the pill, and molding it was completely different from what she knew.
Now, she even felt somewhat curious. Did Xiao Chen really grasp the Immortal Dao's Alchemy method? He was not like other Alchemists who only wanted to use this Alchemic Recipe to broaden their horizons.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment. In the long history of the Kunlun Realm, there had been countless geniuses in Alchemy. However, aside from Grandmaster Jin, no one else had grasped the Immortal Dao's Alchemy method.
Nangong Qiong did not believe that the person before her could grasp it. That would be too shocking.
Regardless of the reason, Nangong Qiong only needed to know that Xiao Chen cared a lot about this Alchemic Recipe.
Xiao Chen put down his wine cup and stared at the other party for a while. Then, he smiled and said, "You are really an interesting person. Two days ago, you told me that the base price of this Alchemic Recipe was already too high. Two days later, you spent four hundred and ten thousand Astral Coins to buy it."
At that time, the base price of the Alchemic Recipe was thirty thousand Astral Coins. If Xiao Chen wanted to buy it in advance, he would have needed to spend thirty thousand Astral Coins.
When Xiao Chen heard that the base price was already too high, he decided to give up on the base price. He planned to wait until the auction. At that time, he would be able to save twenty thousand Astral Coins.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was happy to save twenty thousand Astral Coins by waiting two days. However, he had not expected this girl to play tricks on him.
Nangong Qiong's lips curled up, not caring about Xiao Chen's teasing. She said, "Since you like to hide from me so much, I can only use some unconventional methods.
"I'll cut to the chase. I need you to help me with something. After this is done, not only will I give you this Alchemic Recipe for free, but I will also give you four hundred thousand Astral Coins."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and entered deep thought. During today's auction, the top true inheritors of the six major sects fought over defensive Superior Grade Secret Treasures.
The price they spent was more than double that of usual. If not for some urgent matter, they would not have been so generous.
Only a sufficiently large profit could make this group of people pay up. Several hundred thousand Astral Coins was not a small sum to anyone.
"If I guessed correctly, the thing you want me to help you with is ten days from now, right?"
When Nangong Qiong heard this, shock appeared on her smooth, jade-like face. She said, "You are new to Hunluo City and have no background. How did you know?"
Indeed, this confirmed some of his guesses. Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I do not know anything. However, I will not have time in ten days. I already promised the Eternal Heavenly Sword School's Mo Lingtian that I will help him."
Nangong Qiong had not expected Xiao Chen to reply like this. She frowned slightly.
She stood up and paced around the room, muttering something to herself. Soon, she revealed a smile and said, "I got it. I will accompany you ten days from now.
"Mo Lingtian is extremely conceited. In his eyes, only the Three Holy Masters are comparable to him. You killed the people of his Eternal Heavenly Sword School, and he is seeking you for help. He definitely has malicious intentions."
Nangong Qiong's gem-like eyes flickered with a somewhat fanatical light. The more she spoke, the more smoothly she continued, "He is definitely using you to pave the way for him. At that time, he will shake you off and kill you without anyone knowing.
"You and I will work together. With my help, we can turn the tables on him, saving us a lot of effort."
Nangong Qiong finished speaking in one breath. Her face filled with excitement as she looked at Xiao Chen with longing.
Xiao Chen was flabbergasted. At this moment, Nangong Qiong no longer exuded any air of nobility. She looked rather fanatical, not caring about her status at all.
"How is it? What do you think?" Nangong Qiong's eyes burned with passion as she urged Xiao Chen to make a decision.
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Miss Nangong, you forgot yourself."
It looked like Xiao Chen had been fooled by Nangong Qiong's outward appearance. This girl should be of noble birth. That air of hers was not something that could be faked.
However, when it came to scheming against someone, she spoke confidently and confidently. She did not realize that anyone who dared to work with her would be betrayed in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Qiong recovered her wits. She had a somewhat embarrassed expression on her pretty face. She coughed, and her air returned to normal. The noble air in her blood slowly spread out.
However, when Xiao Chen saw her true appearance, he only found it funny. After thinking for a while, he said, "I promise you. You will come with me to meet Mo Lingtian in ten days. However, you can tell me the specifics now, right?"
Nangong Qiong smiled faintly and said, "I think it is better to let Mo Lingtian tell you ten days later. I will arrange a place for you to stay for the next few days. That will guarantee your safety."
Since Xiao Chen could not get an answer from Nangong Qiong, he did not say anything more. After chatting for a while, he left.
Faint ripples appeared in space in a gorgeous room. Then, an old woman walked out with a sullen expression.
The old woman's strength was unfathomable. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss, why not use the people of the main clan? That is too dangerous."
Nangong Qiong smiled faintly and replied softly, "That is not the case. The core grave of the Star Grave Palace requires a physical body cultivator. Xiao Chen is the most suitable candidate.
"When the grave opens this time, not only will the descendants of the Heavenly Roc Race come, but the true inheritors of the six great sects and some of the nearby Fiend Race geniuses will also receive the news.
"At that time, a fierce battle will be unavoidable. If the Nangong Clan's identity is exposed, they will definitely surround and attack us. It is better to hide in Mo Lingtian's team and use this egomaniac as a spear."
After the auction ended, Xiao Chen received some good news. The one who won the Thunder King's broken Mulberry Sword was the evil person, Zong Zhenghao, who competed with Xiao Chen for the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist.
