Chapter 82 - 79: Gravity Pill Auction Begins_l
This grass was actually called ‘Starflame Grass’, a very rare spiritual grass. It could be said that even in Yang Chen’s previous life, in those flourishing lands, this type of spiritual grass was extremely hard to come by.
What’s worth mentioning is that the appearance of ‘Starflame Grass’ is very similar to the commonly seen ‘Chi Yang Grass’. In his previous life, Yang Chen had read through ancient books and compared Starflame Grass to Chi Yang Grass. Although they were indeed difficult to tell apart, there were some subtle differences.
Of course, just because their appearances were similar, it didn’t mean that the effects of ‘Starflame Grass’ and ‘Chi Yang Grass’ were similar.
Their values were simply worlds apart.
Once the Starflame Grass matured, its grass would transform into flowers, generating ‘Flame of Profound Stars’ seeds inside the flowers. These seeds would become the dream of every Alchemist, the ‘Seed of Strange Fire’!
Once this seed was refined, it would ignite a flame within the martial artist’s body, and this flame would be none other than Mysterious Fire Star!
Flame of Profound Stars!
This was the precious aspect of Starflame Grass which was extremely hard to find. Yang Chen had not encountered it in his previous life.
But he didn’t expect that he would actually come across such a treasure in the Great Wilderness. Furthermore, it was being auctioned off at a starting price of four hundred spirit stones. If someone outside were to discover this, it would surely cause a bloodbath.
“It’s simply a matter of luck!” Yang Chen’s eyes shone brightly.
Fortunately, Yang Jin He still gave face. After Yang Chen spoke, Yang Jin He directly and bluntly said: “One thousand spirit stones!”
He directly increased the price by three hundred spirit stones based on the previous bid of seven hundred spirit stones.
“One thousand one hundred spirit stones. Brother from upstairs, our Wen Family is in urgent need of this Chi Yang Grass. I wonder if you could give up and let us have it?” The bidder spoke.
Although it was just a simple sentence, it caused an uproar.
“Wen Family? The Great Tribal wen Family?”
“I didn’t expect the Wen Family to come as well. I wonder who is fighting with them for this Chi Yang Grass.”
The bidder’s seemingly polite words were actually heard as an attempt to use the name of the Great Tribal Family to pressure others.
This made Yang Jin He somewhat hesitant. He glanced at Yang Chen and saw Chen’s determined gaze without any intention to back down. With a heavy heart, he said solemnly, “What a pitv! Our Yanq familv’s generation, Yang Chen, is also in urgent need of Chi Yang Grass to refine elixirs. If Brother Wen really wants this Chi Yang Grass, let’s bid fairly. I’ll offer one thousand three hundred spirit stones!”
This made the Wen Family’s faces downstairs turn gloomy.
“Father, how dare the Yang Family fight with us for things? Are they tired of living?” A young man in the pavilion with a grim expression said, “Father, I have great use for this Chi Yang Grass. Miss Zhang is quite fond of this grass. If I manage to win this auction and give it to her, I’ll surely win her heart.”
Seeing his son’s impatience, the head of the Wen Family snorted, “All you know is how to win the heart of that little girl from the Zhang Family. Don’t you have any serious thoughts in your head?”
“But, Father, we cannot swallow this insult today. If the Yang Family dares to rob us, shouldn’t we teach them a lesson, otherwise they might do whatever they want to us in the future?” The young man gritted his teeth.
With his chin in his hand, the head of the Wen Family pondered for a moment, “The Yang Family is indeed going too far, but we really can’t rob this Chi Yang Grass.”
“What? Why can’t we?” Wen Changhe widened his eyes.
“Humph, according to some insider information I got, the Gravity Pill, the finale treasure of this auction, was created by the Yang Family, and it can even be mass-produced. The most important thing is that the creator of this elixir is none other than Yang Chen, the one mentioned earlier by the Yang Family Patriarch. In the future, if we want to buy a large amount of Gravity Pills, we must build a good relationship with the Yang Family, otherwise the sky-high price offered by the Li Family Commerce Group, we won’t be able to get many.”
With a cold voice, the head of the Wen Family said, “You should forget about that little girl from the Zhang Family for now. Put the interests of the family first. Let’s not fight over this Chi Yang Grass.”
“Father, do you actually believe those insider rumors? Yang Chen is only a little kid. How could he possibly refine an elixir like the Gravity Pill? Besides, the effects of the Gravity Pill are just hearsay, not to be taken seriously. I think it’s mostly rumors.” Wen Changhe was unwilling to accept this.
His infatuation with Miss Zhang from the Zhang Family had reached the point of being unable to forget her even for a moment.
“Shut up.” The face of the head of the Wen Family turned cold: “How dare you disobey my words?”
“Father… Yes, yes, father.” Wen Changhe trembled and felt terrified; he didn’t dare to speak anymore.
After giving his son a glare, the head of the Wen Family didn’t continue to bid.
Many people who were looking forward to the excitement sighed in disappointment.
In the end, Yang Jin He obtained the ‘Starflame Grass’ for a price of one thousand three hundred spirit stones.
Then, the maid quickly fetched the Starflame Grass and personally handed it over to Yang Jin He, who also paid the spirit stones.
With the Starflame Grass in hand, Yang Jin He smiled and said, “Yang Chen, this Chi Yang Grass belongs to you now. It’s strange that the Wen Family gave up so easily, which is quite contrary to their usual behavior. As one of the Twelve Great Tribes, the Wen family is known for their domineering behavior.”
Receiving the Starflame Grass, Yang Chen couldn’t hide his happiness. “I apologize for causing you trouble with the Wen family,” he said.
“Haha, don’t worry about it. With all the disputes our Yang family has had with the Great Tribes, what can the other tribes do to our Yang family? A little friction in these matters would not seem like a big deal to those Great Tribes. Our Yang family has also managed to establish a foothold among the Hundred Clans of the Great Wilderness, and we didn’t achieve that by being weak!” Yang Jin He said decisively.
This made Yang Chen have a few more likes for Yang Jin He.
Isn’t this the kind of determination the head of a family should have?
Yang Chen owed the Yang family a huge favor today. Starflame Grass was extremely precious to him and given time, he must find a way to repay the Yang family. Otherwise, he would feel undeserving of this great gift. After all, with the spirit stones in his possession, it would be difficult for him to win the Starflame Grass at auction.
Yang Jin He stroked his chin and smiled, “Alright, the main event is coming. Li Youyan is about to reveal the Gravity Pill.”
“Oh?” Yang Chen also perked up and looked downstairs.
Li Youyan had built up quite the anticipation for the Gravity Pill as the finale treasure.
At this moment, he brought out the exquisite box containing the Gravity Pill and said loudly, “Many of you must have heard about the finale treasure at our auction today. Since that’s the case, I won’t keep you guessing any longer. As you may have already heard, the finale treasure we are auctioning off today from the Li Family Commerce Group is called the ‘Gravity Pill’.”
“This Gravity Pill was created by an extraordinary alchemy genius from the Yang Family, named Yang Chen. At a young age, he has already reached a level close to a Second-Grade Alchemist. Moreover, this Gravity Pill can be considered as a First Grade Perfect Elixir. Its effect is that it can unconditionally increase the cultivation of Body Refining Realm martial artists by one level! ”
As soon as these words fell, there was a commotion in the hall, and soon, there were hissing sounds of people inhaling cold air.
Every word Li Youyan said was more shocking than the last..
