King Time

Preparation is complete

''This is the 'fire spirit fruit'. The minimum bid should be at least 5000 sect points each raise should be at least 200 sect points higher than the last bid.''

Every alchemist sitting on the outer chair had stood up. Even people inside private rooms like Shun Long couldn't remain completely calm as they looked excitedly towards the 'fire spirit fruit' on the main stage. The only question was Li Wei who was looking down from her private room towards those people by enjoying the scenery in her eyes as she thought

'Look at those hickheads who are so excited by one 'fire spirit fruit'. 'Our 'Alchemist Guild' has at least 5 of those fruits.'

The offers immediately start when people call their offers one after the other

''5500 sect points''

''6000''

''7000''

''7500''

The price did not stop increasing to 10,000 sect points.

''Does anyone want to offer a higher price? Otherwise, this 'fire spirit fruit' would be given to a good guest here'' Lan Jinjing said pointing towards a guest on the side of the outer seat who had offered 10,000 points for 'fruit of the fire spirit' .

In reality, even though 'fire spirit fruit' was rare, 10,000 sect points exceeded its value, but this was the reality of the auction in the 'cultivation world'. When you need something, you'll pay as much as you have to, to get it.

''20,000 points'' Shun Long called out from inside the private room in a calm voice.

The people inside the auction hall who heard Shun Long's voice and recalled the aura he had emitted earlier all started to shudder. The alchemist in the outer seat who had bid 10,000 points earlier, now felt hopeless. He had a little over 13,000 sect points and he was confident that he could obtain the 'fire spirit fruit' but this senior had to destroy everything.

Even Yin Xing could not help but ask

'' Senior are you sure you want to spend 20,000 sect points for a rank 2 'fire spirit fruit?''

Shun Long simply nodded at Yin Xing's question

In the auction hall, Lan Jinjing was the first to recover as he said

''If there is no higher bid, then this 'fire spirit fruit' will be given to the senior in private room number 2.''

Since no one had bid higher than Shun Long, the staff of the 'Hare Pavilion' sent someone to deliver the 'fire spirit fruit' in his private room.

A yellow-robed disciple arrived carrying a small wooden box with 'fire spirit fruit' inside. Shun Long paid the sect 20,000 points and after receiving the box, he opened it and saw a red fruit the size of an adult fist, with red lines all over its surface. Shun Long then closed the box and stuffed it into his robe along with the 'grass element water'.

After leaving the room, Shun Long handed the paper to Yin Xing as he said, Although this recipe is not as good as my original 'Qi barrier breaker' pill recipe, it is, a pill made from this would still have a 40 percent chance of allowing a rank 6 qi condensing cultivator to reach the middle stage or rank 7.''

Yin Xing was overjoyed when he heard Shun Long's words and held the recipe near while waiting repeatedly thanking Shun Long.

Yin Xing had helped Shun Long a lot while he was at the 'Hare Pavilion' and as an alchemist, Shun Long knew what Yin Xing wanted the most. Although this recipe was meaningless in Shun Long's eyes, to Yin Xing it was a priceless treasure that could help him improve his abilities as an alchemist even further.

Shun Long then decided to leave the 'Treasure Pavilion' because he was no longer interested in the auction. He had already learned from Yin Xing about the rest of the items to be auctioned and the only interesting thing left was the 'golden lion' child'. However, Yin Xing's estimate was that his son would be sold for at least 70,000 sect points.

The adult golden lion was a rank 3 beast that could fight against experts at the late stages of the Heaven class. Anyone who had such a mount would be almost invincible in the 'floating cloud sect'.

Shun Long walked around the city until he found a secluded corner to remove his black robe, before quietly returning to the inn. After paying the innkeeper another 4 sect points for the next month, Shun Long locked himself in his room.

He looked at the 'water element grass' and the 'fire spirit fruit' in his hands, as well as the rest of the materials he had previously purchased from the 'Pavillion Treasure' and after taking a deep breath he said

''Finally, I now have everything needed to repair the 'internal destruction pill'.''
