COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD - Season 3 Episode 83

Anyone who has lived in the cultivators’ world knew what the name “Dark Wind Sect” meant, so when the eighth Wolf General of the Blood Wolf Team heard this, he resigned himself by keeping quiet because no one dared offend the sect. At this point, threatening them with “Blood Wolf Team” was useless.

“One million and 700 thousand vital energy crystals!”

It was with gritted teeth that the eighth Wolf General announced his bid.

“Two million vital energy crystals!” a familiar voice rang out from the Dark Wind Sect’s position.

Because the voice was dull, it was impossible to tell if the man was pleasant or angry.

When the eighth Wolf General heard this, he became quite upset. Since he was a cultivator of the medium stage of Earth Realm, owning two Energy-advancing Elixirs would enable him to make a great breakthrough in vital energy cultivation, and allow him entry into the premium stage of Earth Realm.

However, two million vital energy crystals were already beyond his financial capacity since the total amount that the five Wolf Generals brought this time was only 1 million 900 thousand.

So, the two Energy-advancing Elixirs would undoubtedly go to people from the Dark Wind Sect.

The auctioneer was quite pleased with the final bid price. He thought one million vital energy crystals was very satisfactory for the two Energy-advancing Elixirs before the auction started. But two million was twice that amount and already a bonus!

After he announced the result of bidding for the two Energy-advancing Elixirs, a waitress came out holding a black wooden box. Then before the whole audience at the auction, she put the mysterious box on the crystal auction block in front of the auctioneer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item up for bid is extremely precious. It was genuinely born between heaven and earth in a natural way—the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire, ranked eighth in the list of the Earth Fire.

This precious item will not be of much interest for most ordinary cultivators. But pill refiners will find it extremely attractive.

May I present to you the Unearthly Fire.

Now, please allow me to give you all a background about the Unearthly Fire.

There are some Unearthly Fires that exist in this world, between heaven and earth. It can either be the flames found in the center of a meteorite that came from the universe long ago or the fires of lava that have been burning for thousands of years in the depths of a volcano.

These are the Unearthly Fires!

You are probably aware that pill refiners must refine the fire within them through their bodies first. Generally, pill refiners use their vital energy force to refine their inner fire.

Now, for pill refiners who have been fortunate enough to obtain the Unearthly Fire from somewhere else previously, and used it to refine the fires in themselves, the Unearthly Fire’s purpose will now be to refine elixirs. The observation is that the effect of elixirs made using the Unearthly Fire was far more powerful and completely different from those refined using only normal fires.

Also, you probably are not aware that the Unearthly Fire not only benefits pill refiners, but can also serve as a powerful weapon to those who cultivate the fire formula.

Each Unearthly Fire possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

According to legend, there once was a cultivator in this world who practiced the fire formula and integrated the Unearthly Fire with his skills. The result was a power that made killing enemies as easy as chopping vegetables.

I have just presented to you the role of the Unearthly Fire, and I believe you all understand its significance and value now.

By the way, there is still one thing I need to say, and this may sound like a letdown for you.

At this time, we are not actually bidding out the real Unearthly Fire, but rather a clue to obtaining the fire. Anyone who successfully bids for the clue in this auction will be given a 40 percent chance or more of finding it, provided you follow the instructions in the clue.”

His announcement caused an uproar inside the auction house. Some growled in annoyance, others hissed at the auctioneer, in disgust. Many of those extremely dissatisfied were cultivators, who made a special trip in the hopes of bringing home the Unearthly Fire.

“Everyone, can I have your attention, please.

The Unearthly Fire is very rare anywhere in the world and requires tremendous effort to acquire.

I believe that no one in the entire Violet Orchid Empire has ever acquired the Unearthly Fire.

All that we, the Ganges Auction House, managed to find was a clue to finding the Unearthly Fire, and this was serendipity.

Let’s pause awhile to think. Here’s what we know so far—each Unearthly Fire is equipped with tremendous power that can destroy heaven and earth. But, even if we know the clue, we don’t have the skills nor the expertise to obtain and refine it.

So, we’re going to bid out this clue and let cultivators with the skills and ability to search for it. This way, we would not be wasting precious time doing the impossible.

You may have heard that the Unearthly Fires all over the world are divided into two categories—Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire. This time, we are bidding for the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire, which ranked eighth in the list of the Earth Fire.

This clue of the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire will have a total of five copies to be auctioned by our Ganges Auction House. This means anyone who gets the clue will be facing four competitors in the search. Do you understand?

All right, I have said enough. Dear friends, take time to think about this carefully before bidding.”

Among those terribly disappointed by the last announcement was Austin.

And he had reason to be frustrated. First, they were only bidding for a clue and not the real Dark Bone Gloomy Fire.

Second, even if he won the bidding, there were still four competitors that he had to face. And last but not the least, the clue only gave a 40 percent chance of finding the Unearthly Fire.

It was truly disturbing news. In the auction house, many people who initially planned to spend a lot of money to bid for the Unearthly Fire promptly canceled their participation.

So, Austin decided to wait and observe the proceedings. It would give him a sense of how much people would be willing to bid to win the clue. If the prices weren’t too unreasonable, he would take a chance.

Banging the gavel, the auctioneer started the bidding. “Everyone, the reserve price for the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire is one million vital energy crystals. We shall start the bidding.”

He stood and waited for people to make offers.
