Chapter 80

The Whale League was a colossus in Baijing Prefecture, and its power was astonishing.

Moreover, the black market was their biggest slice of cake. Touching it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Whale League.

The Celestial Court's assessment was actually to attack the Whale League's black market and steal their auction items. This sent a chill down the backs of some cultivators.

As expected of one of the three great dark forces of the continent. They were crazy enough, and their assessment standards were too strict!

"If there are no problems, you can make your own arrangements. Remember, there are no rules. Bring me the auction items you've stolen before sunset. I'll be waiting for you here. "

With that, the golden assassin landed on a tall building and closed his eyes to rest.

At this point, the cultivators no longer had the time to be surprised by the difficulty of the assessment. They all carefully flipped through the auction catalog, racing against time.

From the value of the auction items, they could roughly determine the level of the guests attending the auction and the strength of the Whale League's guards. From there, they could formulate a specific plan for a sneak attack.

Fortunately, after flipping through the catalog, they discovered that most of the auction items were yellow grade, enough to attract Transcendent realm cultivators. However, it would be difficult to attract Nirvana realm and above cultivators.

It seemed that with the strength of so many cultivators present, robbing the auction was not impossible.

After determining the difficulty, the crowd immediately locked their gazes on the most valuable auction items.

The golden assassin of the Celestial Court had made it very clear that the higher the value of the auction item, the higher the score. Only the top five would be able to enter the Celestial Court.

As for the others, only death awaited them.

Gu Chen's gaze swept through the auction catalog, and his eyes quickly fixed on the most eye-catching catalog. His pupils shrank.

"Auction item number 88, a Poison Finger. Medium grade special constitution, classified as an extreme dao organ. Preserved in perfect condition, high transplant success rate!"

Extreme dao organ!

The Whale League's black market actually auctioned off an extreme dao organ, and it was even used as the finale item. This made Gu Chen feel a strong sense of disgust.

Special constitutions were very precious. With them, one would have many advantages in cultivation compared to others.

As for the extreme dao organ, as a special constitution that could be transplanted, it was easy for countless greedy people to covet it.

One must know that the reason why Gu Chen had fallen to such a state was because he possessed the transplantable Bone of Ether.

Now that he saw another extreme organ being put up for auction, he was in an exceptionally bad mood when he thought about the fate of the original owner of the "Poison Finger".

"The Whale Alliance is quite capable. They even managed to collect a Polar Organ. Although it's only a Medium Constitution, it's undoubtedly the most valuable item in this auction."

Not far away, Shi Cong looked at the illustration and laughed. Many cultivators also locked their gazes on the "Poison Finger".

Without a doubt, the person who obtained this item would definitely be the first in the examination!

Gu Chen skipped over the Poison Dragon Finger and looked at the other auction items.

Other than the Misfortune Poison Finger, the most valuable thing was a Low Grade Profound Level Life Returning Pill, and a fossil tooth of the ancient White Whale.

These three items were the finale items in the auction catalog. Obtaining them would undoubtedly allow one to pass the test.

As for the other auction items, there were pills, secret manuals, materials, and magical treasures. However, they were far inferior to those three items and could not close the gap.

Gu Chen casually flipped through the catalog. When his eyes glanced at an illustration, his pupils involuntarily constricted again!

The illustration was a simple black cauldron. It looked extremely familiar, exactly the same as the secret treasure of the Yin Yang Sword Sect that he had obtained from the Zheng siblings!

Was it a coincidence?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world!

The two identical cauldrons immediately aroused Gu Chen's interest. He carefully checked the records of the auction item.

"Auction item number 8, a mysterious cauldron of unknown origin. Rumor has it that it's related to a great opportunity. It was picked up by a rogue cultivator by chance and passed to the black market to be auctioned."

Such ambiguous information gave people a strong feeling that it was unreliable.

Most people would probably scoff at the introduction of this small cauldron after listening to it. They might even suspect why the Whale Alliance's black market would take such an item out for auction.

Gu Chen was different. Looking at the short information, he felt that there was a huge amount of information.

Two identical small cauldrons. One of them was regarded as a secret treasure by the Yin Yang Sword Sect that the Zheng siblings belonged to. There were also some rumors about the other item.

When two unrelated groups of people said that an item was of great value at the same time, there might really be something fishy about it!

Gu Chen looked at the starting price of this small cauldron. The price was very ordinary. He was afraid that the Whale Alliance did not have much confidence in auctioning it.

His eyes flickered. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the tall building where the golden assassin was.

He approached. The assassin of the Celestial Court was sitting withered. He was clearly in front of him, but he seemed to be a mass of nothingness. If one did not look carefully, they would feel that there was no one there.

He was secretly shocked. This person's strength was truly unfathomable.

"What's the matter?" The golden assassin did not open his eyes.

"Senior, may I ask if the value of the auction items you brought back is based on the starting price of these items?"

Gu Chen asked.

The golden assassin replied after a moment of silence. "No!"

The corners of Gu Chen's mouth could not help but reveal a smile. "Then this junior understands. Sorry for disturbing you. Farewell."

He turned around and left. He did not say another word, nor did he try to strike up a conversation.

After he left, the golden assassin opened his eyes and murmured. "This kid is a bit interesting."

Almost all the examinees had already found their targets from the auction catalog. They quickly began to form groups.

Since the enemy was the Whale Alliance, and there were bound to be many cultivators present at the black market auction, it was not wise to fight alone in such a situation. The chances of winning were extremely small.

Some people discussed the principles of the profit distribution and set off in groups. Gu Chen was delayed because he was talking to the examiner and was left alone.

"Hey, archer, let's work together?"

The pink-haired girl came looking for Gu Chen and invited him to work together.

"Why do you want to work together with me?"

Gu Chen was surprised. This girl's strength was not weak. He had just seen many people trying to rope her in.

"Because you don't have a good relationship with that guy, and I don't have a good relationship with him either. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Who knows, we might be able to take him down together. "The girl pointed at Shi Cong, who had just formed a group with four cultivators.

Shi Cong was quite popular. He seemed to be the leader of the newly formed group. The others all showed him friendly smiles, which made him radiant with joy.

However, the four people who were trying to curry favor with him gave off a feeling that they were up to no good.

Gu Chen thought for a moment. Having a companion would indeed increase his chances of winning, but this girl was not easy to deal with. He had to be careful not to be plotted against by her.

"Alright, we can work together. However, what's your goal? If it coincides with mine, then forget it."

Gu Chen asked.
