Chapter 892 – Third Heavenly Martial Stage

Chapter 892 – Third Heavenly Martial Stage

Elementary Emperor-tier divine weapons and pills there were usually priced around a hundred Emperor Crystals, but the Heavenly Fortune Pill started at a base price of five hundred. This showed how precious it was.

Pills that allowed cultivators to directly progress in cultivation were very precious. Even powerful alchemists had to spend great effort to refine a pill like this, and there was a very high chance of failure.

“It looks like everyone is letting me take it. Then I shall oblige. One thousand Emperor Crystals.” Zhao Kongming’s magnetic voice came from the darkness.

The people of the Scarlet Water Association sighed in relief. Zhao Kongming was not going to take advantage of them, seeing as how low-grade Heavenly Fortune Pills were worth approximately a thousand Emperor Crystals. If they sold it below this price, they would have suffered a loss. If they sold it at a price higher than this, it would not have been worth it to Zhao Kongming.

The Underworld Soldiers were paid in Emperor Crystals every month, and if they executed tasks successfully, they would receive a handsome amount on top of that. Therefore, Zhao Kongming had at least ten thousand Emperor Crystals on him, maybe even twenty or thirty thousand. Although it was painful to pay a thousand Emperor Crystals, it was worth it when he thought about how his romantic interest would be happy if he gave the pill to her younger brother.

When the other people heard the price of a thousand Emperor Crystals, they were even more unwilling to bid higher.

The host looked around and said loudly, “If there are no more bids, then the Heavenly Fortune Pill ...”

“I’ll pay one thousand and five hundred Emperor Crystals,” Long Chen said loudly. He controlled his voice to make himself sound older, like a middle-aged man.

Huh?

Many people were shocked to hear him.

“Who is he? Is he not going to give the Underworld Soldier face?”

“He must have a death wish to interfere with something Lord Zhao wants.”

“Whose voice is that? Why haven’t I heard of him before?”

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Kongming, Chairman Liu, and the mayor were sitting together. All three of them looked at each other. The mayor was already in a bad mood, so when a problem came up, he slammed the table and raged. “Who the hell is being so ignorant? Show yourself!”

His furious voice echoed across the auction hall. When everyone saw that the mayor was enraged, they trembled with fear.

“What is it? Isn’t this an auction? The person who bids the highest price will get the item. Has the mayor not attended an auction before? Don’t you know the most basic rule of an auction?” Long Chen said slowly.

He was sitting in a cubicle, so no one knew who he was.

However, based on his tone, they guessed that he was an expert. This person showed no respect for the mayor at all and dared to come alone. How could he do this without some strength to back him up? And he easily bid more than a thousand Emperor Crystals, so this person had to be at least at the Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage.

The mayor did not think too much of it because he was the highest-ranked person present.

“What a strange guy! If I had known, I would have attacked him earlier. A Heavenly Fortune Pill was wasted just like that!”

Zhao Kongming felt indescribable frustration.

“But ...” When he recalled a particular matter, he smiled.

“Even without the Heavenly Fortune Pill, I’ve been extremely lucky with this trip. Once I have completely consumed the mark on the Barbaric Body, I will basically have half a Barbaric Body. When that happens, it will be possible for me to enter the Divine Martial Realm! Then I shall be a general who can lead an army of thousands!”

Zhao Kongming chuckled, then he turned and shot off towards Scarlet Water City. He disappeared into the city in the blink of an eye.

Long Chen did not know about the final part of his muttering.

After leaving with the Heavenly Fortune Pill, Long Chen entered a dark patch of forest. The forest was boundless, and the Barbaric Bear Tribe only took up a small section of it. Long Chen found an empty area and decided to stop there.

This forest had treacherous terrain, and he finally found a tree large enough for several people to hold hands around its circumference. It was an old tree with all sorts of lichen growing on it. It was hollow in the middle, and the entrance was five meters tall.

This deep-blue tree was harder than the iron buildings in the Ancient Graveyard, so he was not worried about his safety.

It was very dark inside the tree, but when he took the Heavenly Fortune Pill out, it lit up the entire hole. The pill was pure white and emitted a faint, strange fragrance.

“An alchemist at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm refined this pill. The alchemist combined his understanding of the Martial Path with spiritual herbs, forming a pill that can advance a person’s cultivation by one level. How miraculous.”

Long Chen understood the magic of alchemists from this. Talisman masters were amazing too.

He studied the Heavenly Fortune Pill for a while, then he swallowed it. Using his essence, he quickly digested it.

Long Chen did not quite understand how the Heavenly Fortune Pill worked. After he cultivated the pill, a strange energy nourished his body. Something was even provoking his mind so that after two days, he realized that his Martial Soul had reached the Third Heavenly Martial Stage.

He needed some time to absorb enough essence to truly reach the Third Heavenly Martial Stage though. He also had almost five thousand Emperor Crystals now, and they could help increase his essence quickly. Although it was not as quick as his Blood Transmutation technique, it was still an effective method.

After using up more than a hundred Emperor Crystals, Long Chen’s essence reached the Third Heavenly Martial Stage.

With the boost provided by his Yin Yang Sword Soul, the Dragon Soul Transformation, and the Five Emperor Palm, Long Chen could now confidently defeat a Sixth Heavenly Martial Stage cultivator, and even fight a Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage opponent!

The Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage was the minimum requirement to enter the Underworld Soldiers. Zhao Kongming was likely at that stage.

However, to Long Chen, the largest benefit was that he could start using the Emperor’s Manual. He had completed his study of the technique a long time ago; he only lacked the essence reserves to use it. After studying for a while in the tree, he finally stood up.

There’s no hurry to head to the Underworld Estate. I should check on Xiong Jun first.
