Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 894 - Blood Amber Pill

Chapter 894: Blood Amber Pill

The atmosphere became slightly crazy in the auction house.

Whether it was the various aristocratic families from the city or the rogue cultivators that were invited here, they were deeply in awe at the moment.

Apart from the w.a.n.g family and the Li family, which were determined to get the Heavenly Fire Ore, the rest felt like the event had been such an eye-opener and was worthwhile. In particular, the final fight for the ore was wonderful and similar to wildfire.

Who knew, Ou Yangming ended everything by retrieving a flying carpet.

A flying carpet…

It was a flying carpet!

There were only 2 flying carpets in Huixun City.

Upon seeing the carpet, not to mention the ordinary aristocratic families of rogue cultivators, even the people from the w.a.n.g family had straight looks in their eyes.

This was because between the 2 Venerable Ones from Huixun City, the Li family’s Venerable Ones was the only one that obtained a flying carpet by chance.

Flying carpets were extremely luxurious items to even Venerable Ones.

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was willing to exchange a flying carpet for the Heavenly Fire Ore, hence most people were in disbelief. To those people, even the Heavenly Fire Ore, which was one of the Five Elemental Ores, could not be mentioned on equal terms with a flying carpet in terms of its value.

However, they did not know what Ou Yangming was thinking.

It was true that the flying carpet was precious, but Ou Yangming simply needed to gather some materials to refine it. If he was willing to and invested in some time, he could refine as many flying carpets as he wanted to.

On the other hand, a Five Elemental Ore such as the Heavenly Fire Ore was condensed from the universe’s essence and could not be refined by him.

Therefore, Ou Yangming regarded the Heavenly Fire Ore to be far more valuable than the flying carpet.

Not to mention that he had only given one of the insignificant flying carpets in his interspatial bag, even if he were to exchange all of his flying carpets for the ore, he would not think twice.

Needless to say, this was only a presumption because n.o.body could see through his limit.

Su Tianqian flashed to Ou Yangming’s side and laughed out loud. He replaced the host and announced loudly, “Since Elder Bai has appraised the item, this Heavenly Fire Ore belongs to Brother Yu now.”

He looked around with bright eyes and asked, “I suppose none of you has any objections?”

Li Tianyu looked hatefully at Ou Yangming. If it was possible, he wanted to skin the young fellow alive at the moment. Even so, when he looked at the flying carpet, a look of fear could be seen amidst the look of hatred in his eyes.

He was a typical fop, but he was neither ignorant nor incompetent. Therefore, he understood what a flying carpet represented.

One would be considered amazing to possess a flying carpet. Li Tianyu could occasionally enjoy riding one because he was doted on by his great ancestor, but he did not have the right to handle it. If the young master wanted to sell the flying carpet or exchange it for something else, as much as Li Shaoyuan was fond of him, the Venerable One would surely punish him severely.

When Li Tianyu saw how casually Ou Yangming offered his flying carpet as though he was not bothered at all, he could not help but hate the young fellow to his bones and was surprised at the same time.

A single thought lingered in Li Tianyu’s mind at this time. ‘What exactly is the origin of this young fella who appeared out of nowhere?’

Far in another private room, w.a.n.g Weinian and w.a.n.g Haobin looked at each other. Cold intents slowly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

After a long time, w.a.n.g Weinian asked, “You looked into this young fella’s background, right?”

“Yes, but we didn’t find anything.” w.a.n.g Haobin nodded. He paused for a while before he continued, “He befriended the Xue family and is staying in the Wu residence for the time being. Uncle Lingting said that he spotted the young fella in the Forest of Death and witnessed him releasing a formation map to kill a top-grade ferocious beast.”

w.a.n.g Weinian was staring outside at the moment. After a brief moment, he mumbled as if he was talking to himself, “A ferocious beast might not have wisdom but certainly can’t be killed by an ordinary formation map. Heh, judging from how he took out the flying carpet, it’s probably not very important to him. This can only mean that he can obtain flying carpets easily.”

A fierce look could be seen in w.a.n.g Haobin’s eyes. The w.a.n.g family had been trying hard to acquire a flying carpet for years but never achieved their goal, whereas the young fellow did not attach much importance to flying carpets. The disparity between them was too huge.

“Skilled at formation maps and have the channel to obtain flying carpets… Heh, heh.” w.a.n.g Weinian sneered several times. “This fella must have an unordinary background. This time, the Li family’s going to suffer a loss instead.”

w.a.n.g Haobin was moved. “You’re saying that…”

The patriarch said in a deep voice, “Let’s just watch in safety while they fight, then reap the rewards when they become exhausted. In any case, don’t meddle in the situation.”

w.a.n.g Haobin looked down and answered softly, “Yes.”

Although he responded very quickly, he clenched his fists tightly.

He glanced at the highly-spirited Ou Yangming through the corner of his eye and felt a fire burning in his chest. He could not remain calm.

※※※※

“Heh, the auction’s really interesting today.”

All of a sudden, a burst of laughter was heard in the main hall. The laughter instantly broke the rather awkward silence in the hall and made everyone sigh a breath of relief subconsciously.

Afterward, an elder paced toward the center of the main hall.

Upon seeing the elder, everyone greeted him with respect. Even those who did not know him regarded him with special respect after their friends introduced him to them.

This was because the person was Pavilion Elder Xu Heran from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion.

When the elder arrived at the center and waved his hand gently, Song Qing immediately bowed and retreated quietly.

Song Qing was the greatest auctioneer in the Su family’s Chamber of Commerce and was considered one of the top figures in Huixun City. Nevertheless, he dared not take deep breaths in front of Xu Heran.

Xu Heran looked around and noticed that he had successfully attracted everyone’s attention. He nodded as he was pleased, then he expressed, “The Auction Meet has been incredibly interesting, so much so that I’m becoming envious.” He beamed and continued, “Since that’s the case, I’ll auction something as well to show my support.”

The crowd instantly clamored and applauded loudly.

As for the observant people, they even exchanged glances as they knew very well what was going on.

Sure enough, the Su family’s Chamber of Commerce and the Beyond Heaven Pavilion were closely connected. It was also obvious that Xu Heran openly cared for Su Tianqian as well.

Seeing as the w.a.n.g family and the Li family failed to get the Heavenly Fire Ore and were going to vent their anger on someone else, the elder stood out right away and supported the Su family’s Chamber of Commerce in this way.

In this case, anyone that wanted to mistreat the Chamber of Commerce would be afraid and seriously consider the Beyond Heaven Pavilion’s existence. In actuality, very few people in Huixun City would have the guts to offend the pavilion.

w.a.n.g Weinian pondered for a moment before he chuckled and remarked, “Brother Xu, the treasure that you’re going to auction can’t be too disappointing.”

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to have loosened up more.

Xu Heran curled his lips and laughed. “Don’t worry, what I’m about to auction definitely isn’t inferior to the Heavenly Fire Ore, and I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied.”

Everyone was stunned. They had grave looks on their faces.

They knew that if someone like Xu Heran bragged about something on this occasion, it could not be fake.

Despite that, could he offer a treasure that was on par with the Heavenly Fire Ore in such a hurry? Even if he was a pavilion elder from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, he might not have the authority nor ability.

Xue Heran turned his wrist and retrieved a jade bottle.

He had a rather grim look on his face when he held the jade bottle. When the crowd noticed his expression and att.i.tude, they became more curious and felt that this was odd.

Before long, Xu Heran opened the jade bottle gently and poured out a round pill. The pill was entirely red, and it looked as if numerous lines and veined paths were carved on it to form a queer yet magical pattern. At one glance, one would feel like one was going to get lost inside.

w.a.n.g Weinian stood up abruptly and shouted, “A Blood Amber Pill!”

He was in disbelief, surprised, yet overjoyed. In fact, his body could not help but tremble.

Almost at the same time, everyone that knew about the pill’s wonderful effect was shocked. They were elated and became covetous as well.

If Xu Heran from the Beyond Heaven Pavilion was not the person holding the pill at the moment, someone might have gone forward to s.n.a.t.c.h it regardless of all costs.

Far away, Song Qing quivered involuntarily. At this point, he finally understood why Xu Heran asked him to leave. If he remained in his sport earlier, his life might have been threatened already. Most of the cultivators here knew Song Qing’s background, but some of them were foreign rogue cultivators. If they could gain a certain level of profit, they would surely take the risk.

Li Tianyu widened his eyes. His aura became much heavier at this moment.

He had harbored strong resentment toward Ou Yangming earlier, but the feeling vanished at this time. He was only thinking about one thing at the moment.

‘A Blood Amber Pill! A Blood Amber Pill!’

It was worth noting that the pill would be exceptionally useful for a clan, thus he was determined to acquire it regardless of its price.

Ou Yangming looked at the Blood Amber Pill and felt rather strange. ‘Why have I not heard of this pill before?’

Su Tianqian stepped forward and noted softly, “Brother Yu, Pavilion Elder prepared this Blood Amber Pill for the w.a.n.g family and the Li family so it’ll be best if you don’t bid for it.”

Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. “Why?”

Su Tianqian smiled bitterly and thought, ‘If it wasn’t because you bid for the ore, Pavilion Elder wouldn’t offer a Blood Amber Pill in this situation.’

Judging from the pavilion elder’s character, he would plan carefully and fully utilize the Blood Amber Pill’s effect. Having said that, Su Tianqian could not tell Ou Yangming the truth.

He cleared his throat and explained, “It’s because the best person to consume the Blood Amber Pill is a top-grade Spiritualist.”

Ou Yangming was struck dumb. He quickly wondered and came to a sudden realization, so he asked, “Is that a spirit medicine that helps one to advance into a Venerable One?”
