"The owner accepts the bid from the Heaven-class No. 3 private room! The heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid belongs to Azure Demon Lord!"
It had actually bypassed the confirmation stage entirely, sealing the deal with a single hammer strike!
Everything happened too fast. The smile on the face of Fang Yan inside the Demon Flame Valley private room instantly froze, then transformed into monstrous rage!
"What?!?"
Fang Yan stood up abruptly, and the violent aura of a Nine-Star Dou Huang uncontrollably spilled out from his body, causing the tables and chairs in the private room to creak and rattle.
"heavenly soul blood bone pill? What kind of Medicinal Pill is that?!"
"How can it compare to my life-returning pill!"
"Mo Tianxing, what kind of trick are you playing!"
Mo Tianxing's expression remained unchanged as he explained in a deep voice, "Elder Fang Yan, please calm down!"
"The heavenly soul blood bone pill is ranked as a Seventh-rank Intermediate Medicinal Pill. Its effect lies in reshaping blood Qi, strengthening tendons and bones, and allowing the user's physical body strength to increase by one level in a short period!"
"For powerhouses who pursue the limits of their physical body or those who have recently recovered from severe injuries and need to reshape their Foundation, its value is indeed higher than the life-returning pill in certain aspects."
"This was determined by the owner personally; our Black Emperor Sect is merely following the rules."
"Good, good, good! What a great Jia Nan Academy! What a great Azure Demon Lord!" Fang Yan was trembling with rage, his face livid, his gaze fixed onto the Heaven-class No. 3 private room like a poisonous snake.
"It's you Jia Nan Academy again! Repeatedly ruining the good deeds of our Demon Flame Valley!"
"This heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid was the key item I prepared to offer to the Old Ancestor to help him achieve Great Mastery in his divine art!"
"You just wait! One day, our Earth Demon Old Ghost will definitely ascend to Jia Nan Academy himself to seek justice for this!"
Fang Yan aimed his hostility directly at Jia Nan Academy, clearly believing that Xiao Qing's bid was instigated or supported by Jia Nan Academy.
"Hmph! Old Ghost Fang Yan, stop spouting nonsense here!" The hot-tempered Elder Huo could no longer hold back and retorted from across the private room.
"Earth Demon Old Ghost? Hmph, back then he was merely a defeated opponent of our Dean Mang Tianchi!"
"Now, he's probably too scared to even come out and walk around; what kind of waves does he think he can stir up?"
"You are courting death!" Fang Yan, having been poked in a sore spot, was enraged. The pressure of a Nine-Star Dou Huang, as if substantial, crashed toward the Heaven-class No. 3 private room!
"Presumptuous!"
Grand Elder Su Qian let out a cold snort. Without even seeing him make a move, a more vast and majestic Dou Zong pressure swept out.
Like a spring breeze bringing rain, yet carrying an irresistible force, it easily shattered Fang Yan's violent pressure and, with the remaining momentum undiminished, rebounded back!
"Ugh!"
Fang Yan let out a muffled grunt, his face turned pale, and he stumbled back half a step, clearly suffering a hidden loss.
A trace of fear flashed in his eyes; he hadn't expected Su Qian's strength to be a notch stronger than he had anticipated.
"You... you just wait! The day the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion will be the time for your Jia Nan Academy to pay the price!"
Fang Yan issued another harsh threat while being fierce in appearance but faint in heart, but he did not dare to release his pressure easily again.
Su Qian's calm voice came from the private room, carrying a trace of disdain, "We will wait."
This conflict ended with the complete failure and retreat of Demon Flame Valley.
Fang Yan, filled with rage and unwillingness, left the venue indignantly, and the people of Demon Flame Valley followed him away with their tails between their legs.
The auction thus drew to a close in a tense atmosphere.
Xiao Qing successfully completed the transaction and pocketed the incomparably precious heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid.
Su Qian, Hu Qian, and others all congratulated Xiao Qing, but there was a trace of solemnity between their brows.
They knew clearly that after this incident, the already tense relationship between Jia Nan Academy and Demon Flame Valley had completely torn apart, and the conflict had intensified to a point where it was almost irreconcilable.
Xiao Qing's expression remained normal, and he said, "Grand Elder Su Qian, rest assured, I, Xiao, can handle this Demon Flame Valley matter alone!"
"Master Xiao, you do not know this, but our Jia Nan Academy and that Demon Flame Valley have always been sworn enemies. Furthermore, Master Xiao is a friend of our Jia Nan Academy, so we must certainly provide our full support!"
Su Qian smiled. Although he could not say he was completely indifferent to Demon Flame Valley, it was about the same.
After all, if that Earth Demon Old Ghost dared to come to Jia Nan Academy to act presumptuously, The Two Elders, Qian and Bai in the Inner Court were not just there to eat for free!
However, regarding the threat from the Earth Demon Old Ghost, Xiao Qing did not take it too much to heart.
He cared more about the bottle of heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid in his hand.
If he could use this item to cultivation the "Heavenly Thunder Body Forging Method" to the second stage.
His physical body strength would likely leap directly past the Early Stage of the Seventh Rank, reaching the terrifying level of the Middle Stage, or even the Late Stage!
By then, his overall strength would surely welcome a huge leap.
As for Demon Flame Valley... he had originally intended to go there to search for the refining method of the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
Now, it just gave him one more reason why he had to go.
Chapter 109, Establishing the "Azure Demon Lord" Exclusive Alchemist Gathering 【One more update, 5k】
The auction settled, Xiao Qing, Zi Yan, and Su Qian's group from Jia Nan Academy did not stay in Black Emperor City for long.
After a brief rest, they set off to leave, preparing to return to Peace Town where Jia Nan Academy was located.
However, just as they reached a mountain road far from the city, a sudden change occurred!
Hum! Four incomparably powerful auras erupted simultaneously, like four invisible mountains descending instantly. They completely blocked the path ahead and behind!
The powerful pressure mixed together, making the surrounding air seem to solidify.
The leader was dressed in dark red robes, with a sinister face and eyes sharp like a hawk.
It could be seen that the aura radiating from his body had reached the level of a Four-star Dou Zong! It was none other than that Mysterious Dou Zong who had auctioned the heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid!
The three people behind him were not unfamiliar to Xiao Qing and the others. The Demon Flame Valley Grand Elder Fang Yan, and the Second Elder, who was also a Nine-Star Dou Huang, with an aura connected to Fang Yan, faintly giving a sense of merging flames.
As well as a Third Elder whose aura was slightly floating, but was definitely a Nine-Star Dou Huang!
This lineup was clearly a premeditated ambush!
"Fang Yan?! It seems you have been fully prepared, bringing even the other two Elders from Demon Flame Valley!" Su Qian looked cautiously at the other two Elders of Demon Flame Valley; it seemed a fierce battle would be unavoidable today!
"Hehe, Su Qian, and this Azure Demon Lord, hope you have been well!" A ferocious smile appeared on Fang Yan's face, his gaze sweeping over Su Qian and Xiao Qing, filled with resentment and killing intent.
"The three old fellows of Demon Flame Valley!" Hu Qian shouted immediately upon seeing the arrivals.
"Could it be that your Demon Flame Valley wants to go to all-out war with our Jia Nan Academy?!"
"War? Haven't we always been wishing for each other's complete annihilation?" Grand Elder Fang Yan said with a sinister voice.
"Besides, wouldn't it be nice to get rid of you ahead of time?"
The Mysterious Dou Zong ignored the others, his greedy gaze locked firmly onto Xiao Qing. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Kid, if you're sensible, obediently hand over the heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid and the Storage Ring on your body."
"Perhaps... this sect can be merciful and leave you with an intact corpse."
A chill appeared in Xiao Qing's eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "I'm afraid you don't have that ability!"
It turned out that this Mysterious Dou Zong came from a certain faction in the Central Plains. His own physical body was powerful, having reached the Seventh-rank level.
That heavenly fire lightning tribulation liquid was originally just an icing on the cake for him, and putting it up for auction was to exchange it for more urgently needed resources. He had not expected Xiao Qing to be able to produce a Seventh-rank Intermediate Medicinal Pill that even he was tempted by, so the wealth on his body could be imagined.
Driven by greed, he developed killing intent. It just so happened that Demon Flame Valley and Jia Nan Academy had long-standing grievances, and they hated this "Azure Demon Lord" who was on good terms with Jia Nan Academy and had snatched the item they were determined to get, to the bone.
Both sides hit it off immediately and set up this lethal trap here.
The battle situation was instantly clear. The Mysterious Dou Zong went directly for Xiao Qing; in his view, this "Azure Demon Lord," who carried heavy treasures and had unknown strength, was the primary target.
Fang Yan and the Second Elder connected their auras, and a strange, deep red flame surged from their bodies simultaneously; it was the "Transformation Flame" unique to Demon Flame Valley!
The three clusters of Transformation Flame faintly merged in the air, emitting fluctuations enough to threaten a low-star Dou Zong. The two of them teamed up, aiming directly at Su Qian, this Two-star Dou Zong.
They intended to use the combined attack technique of the Transformation Flame to bind him tightly. And that Third Elder of Demon Flame Valley, the newly promoted Nine-Star Dou Huang, sneered as he looked at the Eight-star Dou Huang Hu Qian and Zi Yan, as well as the weakest Alchemist, Elder Huo.
Their plan was very clear: first, have the Third Elder use the Transformation Flame to quickly eliminate the three weaker ones here. Then they would join forces to besiege Su Qian, or wait for the Mysterious Dou Zong to finish off Xiao Qing before coming to clean up the rest.
"Attack!" The Mysterious Dou Zong let out a sharp shout.
He stopped talking nonsense, his figure moving like a ghost, carrying a scorching wave of air as he lunged straight at Xiao Qing!
He did not use any weapon, but instead threw a punch directly. Wherever the fist wind passed, the space twisted slightly, displaying the terrifying power of his Seventh-rank physical body!
Facing this sudden siege and the physical strike of a Four-star Dou Zong, Xiao Qing's eyes instantly became incomparably cold.
"Boom!" A red-gold Qi flame erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption, shooting into the sky! Fire Law Form!
In an instant, with Xiao Qing as the center, a red-gold Domain spread out. Within the Domain, the flames seemed to possess life, jumping happily and submitting.
The Green Lotus Earth Core Flame and Sea Heart Flame flashed past him like two cyan and dark blue lightning bolts. They merged into the red-gold Law power, causing his aura to skyrocket crazily as if riding a rocket, actually approaching the level of an Early Stage Dou Zong!
"What?! Two Heavenly Flames?! And what is this thing?!" When the Mysterious Dou Zong looked at this mysterious "Domain" that he had never seen or heard of, his expression changed instantly, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable horror.
He had originally thought that Xiao Qing only possessed combat power comparable to a Dou Zong by relying on some secret technique. He never expected that the other party not only truly possessed strength comparable to an Early Stage Dou Zong, but also mastered two Heavenly Flames and such a terrifying, bizarre ability!
But he was, after all, a Four-star Dou Zong, with a powerful physical body and rich combat experience. Despite his shock, his offensive did not decrease but increased instead. That fist, containing the power of a Seventh-rank physical body, smashed fiercely toward Xiao Qing's face, attempting to break finesse with force.
Xiao Qing did not choose to take it head-on. The opponent's physical body was powerful, and head-on collision was not the best strategy. Xiao Qing's figure swayed slightly, his footwork moving, and he dodged this fierce punch.
At the same time, his powerful Spirit Realm Soul power had already quietly unfolded, searching for the opponent's flaws.
Xiao Qing did not borrow the power of Yao Lao at this moment; there was more than one gaze spying around, and exposing it too early was not a wise move.
Seeing that his strike missed, the Mysterious Dou Zong roared repeatedly, fists and palms interweaving, bringing up streaks of afterimages and a terrifying energy storm, completely enveloping the space around Xiao Qing.
His attacks were grand and open, with astonishing power, but correspondingly, there appeared a slight, imperceptible laxity in his defense on the soul level.
Now! A bright light exploded in Xiao Qing's eyes! That Spirit Realm Soul power, which had been lurking, instantly crossed the distance like a sharp thorn and fiercely pierced into the deep Sea of Consciousness of the Mysterious Dou Zong!
"Ah!!" The Mysterious Dou Zong let out a scream of extreme misery, his forward-lunging figure suddenly froze, his hands clutching his head, his face extremely distorted due to the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart!
