Chapter 998

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the room, the Yuan Energy within Chen Yu's body slowly calmed down.

He had completely absorbed the Astral Origin Pill.

He opened his eyes and said calmly, "I'm one step away from breaking through."

In fact, Chen Yu did not need any treasures. He was confident that he could break through after one or two months of seclusion.

But the auction would start tonight.

There was a treasure that Chen Yu was interested in, so he had to make a trip there.

On the other hand.

Chen Yu had been in the Disordered Ocean Plains for a while, but he had yet to achieve his main objective.

He could not get close to the City Lord's Mansion, and if the guards did not inform him, he would not be able to meet the Royal Azure Sky Emperor.

Over the past few days, he had thought of two methods, but they were not very feasible.

The first method was to bribe the higher-ups of the City Lord's Mansion with high-grade Yuan Stones.

But there were too many evil cultivators in the Disordered Ocean Plains. At least half of the City Lord's Mansion's personnel were once evil cultivators.

If he revealed too much money, even the City Lord's Mansion might not make a move on him.

The second method was to create a huge commotion and alert the Royal Azure Sky Emperor.

It depended on the commotion. If it was good, he would be able to meet the Royal Azure Sky Emperor, but if it wasn't, it would be accompanied by a huge risk.

Walking out of the room, he heard whispers in the restaurant.

"The Spirit Abundant Auction House is about to start. I heard that there will be many good items this time. Some famous old monsters are here."

"How can it not be good? The Black Dragon Auction House's auction item was snatched away and now appeared in the Spirit Abundant Auction House. If this goes on, the Spirit Abundant Auction House will be the only one left. "

"I heard that the Sea Clan and the foreign races are also interested in this auction. There will definitely be an intense competition."

Many whispers sounded in Chen Yu's mind.

The situation in the Disordered Ocean Plains was rather special. Occasionally, the Sea Clan and foreign races would appear, but they would not reveal their identity.

As he approached the Spirit Abundant Auction House, Chen Yu found that most of the cultivators were concealing their identity.

Chen Yu also understood the logic of not revealing one's wealth. Not to mention that he had his eyes on one of the auction's finale treasures.

At the entrance of the auction house, there were tools for concealing one's identity.

Chen Yu spent some primeval stones to buy a black mask.

After putting on the black mask, a layer of hazy black gas drifted out and completely covered his body.

Unless one was at the late stage of the Star Condensation Realm, one would not be able to see Chen Yu's true body.

"Honoured guest, please come in."

Chen Yu flashed his token, and a maid came to receive him.

Ordinary people would not receive such treatment, and they would even have to pay an expensive entrance fee.

Under the guidance of the maidservant, Chen Yu arrived at a separate pavilion. It was very spacious and could accommodate twenty people.

The auction house was dimly lit, and it could accommodate thousands of people. The atmosphere was strange.

Chen Yu could feel that there were many Celestial Condensation Powerhouses here. There was no lack of Intermediate Celestial Condensation Cultivators, and even Late Celestial Condensation Cultivators.

However, he was unfamiliar with this place and did not know anyone.

Inside the Lingfeng Auction House.

The Fiend Blood Monarch sensed something and took out a red jade pendant.

As long as Chen Yu was within a certain distance, the jade pendant would react.

"Why is that kid here?"

The Fiend Blood Monarch walked out of the secret room and came to the auction house.

"Hehe, he dares to come to the Lingfeng Auction House. Unless you're just here to join in the fun, I'll make you bleed!"

The Fiend Blood Monarch put on a blood-colored cloak and sat on the seat.

At the same time, he sent a message to the staff of the auction house. If Chen Yu called out a price, they would purposely raise the price.

This kind of thing was common in the big auction houses. As long as it was not too excessive, it was fine.

Whoosh!

A woman suddenly landed on the auction stage. She wore a thin white dress, and her skin was smooth like cream. Her figure was impressive, noble, and full of temptation.

Many lewd laughs came from the darkness.

"This auction will be hosted by me. Please don't cause trouble."

The woman in white said in a sexy voice.

"The first auction item is the Soul Illusion Powder. It is colorless and odorless, and can be merged into one's primeval essence to attack the enemy. Once it comes into contact with the skin, the poison will take effect and cause the soul to fall into an illusion.

"However, the Soul Illusion Powder is only effective against those under the Star Condensation Realm.

"The starting price is five thousand upper primeval stones, and each increment must be no less than five hundred!"

As soon as she finished, someone started bidding.

"Six thousand!"

"Six thousand five hundred."

The Soul Illusion Powder was considered quite powerful for those under the Star Condensation Realm. It could even turn the tide of a battle.

In the sixth guest room.

"The final treasure that I need will appear last."

Chen Yu had no interest in the bidding outside. He took out a form and looked for the other items he needed.

Other than the treasure, there were also many cultivation resources that Chen Yu could use.

The Star Body consumed a lot of resources.

This was only the first level of the Four Symbols Divine Body. The later levels required even more resources.

Other than that, Chen Yu cultivated the Nine Revolution Vast Star Art. It was a rare Nine Revolution Cultivation Technique and also consumed a lot of resources.

However, it was all worth it.

Cultivating the Nine Revolution Vast Star Art allowed Chen Yu to stand at the peak of his cultivation and increase his chances of breaking through to the Mysterious Nether Realm.

As for the Four Symbols Divine Body, it allowed Chen Yu's overall combat power to soar.

"The demonic core of the Thunder Leopard, a King-class Sacred Beast. The starting price is eight thousand upper primeval stones, and each increment must be no less than five hundred!"

"Ten thousand."

Chen Yu was the first to call out a price.

The demonic core of the Thunder Leopard contained a berserk lightning-attribute energy. It could be used to refine the body and open star acupoints.

The price slowly rose.

"Sixteen thousand!"

Chen Yu calmly called out a price.

Normally, the people in the guest rooms weren't simple.

The majority of people wouldn't fight to the death with the experts in the guest rooms.

When the price reached eighteen thousand, no one dared to compete.

"Hehe, eighteen thousand five hundred."

The Fiendblood Monarch in the blood-colored cloak spoke.

"Nineteen thousand."

Chen Yu calmly called out a price.

As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the blood-cloaked man placed another bid. Immediately, Chen Yu felt that something was amiss.

"This person is targeting me."

Chen Yu thought that he hadn't offended anyone since coming to the Disordered Ocean Plains.

No, he did have an enemy.

The Fiendblood Monarch?

But that was strange. How did the Fiendblood Monarch know Chen Yu's true identity?

Although the Fiendblood Monarch was raising the price, he didn't call it too high. If Chen Yu didn't want it, he would be a fool.

In the end, Chen Yu bought the demonic core of the Thunder Fire Leopard for twenty thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones.

"Hehe!"

The Fiendblood Monarch smiled complacently.

He would take Chen Yu's life sooner or later. But before that, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity to make things difficult for him.

But in fact, Chen Yu was rich. He only spent a few thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones, so he didn't care at all.

Next.

Chen Yu bought a few more precious materials.

The Fiendblood Monarch looked embarrassed. He was jealous of Chen Yu's wealth.

So far, Chen Yu had spent one hundred and thirty thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones.

He was in the middle stage of the Star Condensation State, but he didn't have that many Primordial Stones.

"No, this kid definitely doesn't have that many Primordial Stones. The key is that he stole my goods. Once auctioned, they'll be worth two to three hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones."

The Fiendblood Monarch gritted his teeth.

He was a rogue cultivator living in the Disordered Ocean Plain. He worked for the Ling Feng Auction House, which provided him with a place to hide and cultivation resources.

He had suffered a great loss this time.

On the other hand, Chen Yu had been spending Primordial Stones and plundering cultivation resources, which was enviable.

"Evil Skeleton Flower, five thousand years old. It's a precious treasure for cultivators of the Wicked Path to quickly increase their cultivation. In addition, the Evil Skeleton Flower can be used to cultivate special Wicked Path secret techniques!"

"The starting price is twenty thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones. Each increment must be no less than five hundred."

This Evil Skeleton Flower was old and of high quality. Everyone could clearly sense the Wicked Path energy it contained. It was extremely useful for a mid-stage Star Condensation Realm cultivator.

In addition, this kind of Wicked Path treasure was even more sought after in the Disordered Ocean Plain, so its price was higher.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

"Twenty-two thousand!"

Eight people immediately started bidding. They were filled with evil energy and murderous intent.

"Twenty-two thousand five hundred!"

Chen Yu spoke at an appropriate time to raise the price.

After all, he was the one who had asked for the Evil Skeleton Flower.

"Thirty-five thousand!"

An old man in flowery robes shouted from VIP room number ten.

"It's the Evil Cloud King."

Many people had thoughts of retreating when they saw the old man's identity.

The Evil Cloud King was a famous Wicked Path monarch in the Disordered Ocean Plain. His cultivation was at the late-stage Star Condensation Realm. He had a private cave abode in the Disordered Ocean Plain and thousands of subordinates.

The auction continued.

"Forty thousand!"

A mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat called out. His body faintly emitted a powerful aura, causing the surrounding people to feel uneasy.

"Forty-one thousand!"

The old man in flowery robes continued bidding.

The Evil Skeleton Flower's price shot up. In the end, only the old man in flowery robes and the mysterious bamboo hat man were left.

"Black Dragon Auction House's Elder Yu, this king knows that you're rich and overbearing. However, I must obtain this Evil Skeleton Flower."

The old man in flowery robes pointed out the mysterious bamboo hat man's identity.

"What? Black Dragon Auction House's Elder Yu? "

Many people were shocked.

This was also a big shot.

But more people were whispering to each other.

"Haha, I heard that this Evil Skeleton Flower was entrusted by an outsider to the Black Dragon Auction House, but it was stolen!"

"I see. No wonder Elder Yu would bid for this item."

…

Wearing a bamboo hat, Elder Yu's face turned livid when he heard these comments.

The Evil Skeleton Flower was entrusted by an outsider to the Disordered Oceanic Plains, but it was stolen.

That was why Elder Yu snuck in to bid for the Evil Skeleton Flower in an attempt to regain his reputation.

In the end, the Evil Cloud King exposed his identity in front of everyone, causing Elder Yu to lose face.

In the end …

Elder Yu bought the Evil Skeleton Flower at a high price of sixty-three thousand.

"I didn't expect the Black Dragon Auction House to be here."

The Fiend Blood King's face sank. He was a little afraid that the other party would know that he was the culprit.

"The Black Dragon Auction House?"

Chen Yu glanced at Elder Yu.

A man in a blood-colored cloak had raised the price several times. Chen Yu suspected that it was the Fiend Blood King, but he had no evidence.

Suddenly …

Chen Yu didn't look at what it was and named a price casually. "Thirteen thousand!"

As expected, the man in a blood-colored cloak raised the price. "Fifteen thousand."

Chen Yu sneered and said, "Since the Fiend Blood King needs this item, I won't take it from you."

Immediately.

Elder Yu of the Black Dragon Auction House glanced at the Fiend Blood King with a cold glint in his eyes.

The Fiend Blood King was an itinerant cultivator who worked for the Ling Feng Auction House.

According to the information Elder Yu had received, the person who bought the goods from the Black Dragon Auction House was the Fiend Blood King of the Ling Feng Auction House.

"Damn it! How did he recognize me?

"That's impossible!"

The Fiend Blood King exclaimed in his mind and cursed Chen Yu.

Chen Yu saw the man in a blood-colored cloak tremble and his aura become chaotic for a moment.

"It's really him!"
