After the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass, there are two final items left: a high-grade fourth-rank pill and a low-grade heaven-rank spiritual skill.
Chi Yuan did not participate in the bidding for the two final auction items. The pill was not very useful to him, and it was not worth spending several thousand yuan stones to buy it. He was somewhat interested in the low-level Heaven-rank spiritual skill, but the price was too high. The starting bid was five thousand, and before he could even make a bid, the price had already risen to ten thousand, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Thirteen thousand!"
"Fourteen thousand..."
"Fourteen thousand five!"
...
"Eighteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
As expected of the final item, after dozens of rounds of fierce bidding, the price of this spiritual skill has soared from the starting bid of five thousand to twenty thousand.
Ultimately, the person who offered 20,000 won the spiritual skill; he was the patriarch of a first-rate family in Jingyang City.
"Thank you all for your kind consideration."
The clan chief, who was sitting in the first row, stood up with a ruddy complexion and a smug smile, bowing to the crowd, which drew a barrage of eye rolls and sarcastic remarks.
"Young master, please come with me. I'm going to get medicine from my second sister."
You Rongxinya stood up and said something, then led Chi Yuan toward You Ronglianxin.
You Ronglian wanted to make amends to Chi Yuan, and when the auction ended, she got up and walked towards You Rongxin and Chi Yuan.
"Young Master Fufeng, the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass..."
As You Rong Lianxin was speaking, You Rong Xinya interrupted her: "Second sister, I was just about to tell you this. You should take out the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass and give it to Young Master Fufeng. I've already discussed it with him, and he..."
Why should I give it to him?
This time it was You Rongxin's turn to be interrupted. Upon hearing this, You Rongxin became anxious and looked at You Rongxin with dissatisfaction, saying, "Little sister, you know the uses of the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass. Even if he needs it, you can't disregard Mother's safety and make me give him Mother's life-saving medicine, can you?"
"Yes, little sister, that's where you're wrong. We can discuss other spiritual herbs, but how can we give him this fire-type spiritual herb?"
You Rong Hanyou flashed to the side of the three people, her expression slightly solemn, and said, "If he needs other grade-five spiritual herbs of other attributes, as long as we have them, it is fine to give him one. But this Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass is related to Mother's safety, so it must not be given away."
"Oh dear, you've misunderstood. How could I disregard Mother's safety? I asked my second sister to give the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass to Young Master Fufeng precisely for Mother's sake!"
You Rongxinya hurriedly explained, "Eldest sister, second sister, you don't know this, but Young Master Fufeng possesses a kind of spiritual fire called the Nine Netherworld Fire. With the help of his spiritual fire, Mother no longer needs to use fire-type spiritual medicine to suppress that hidden ailment."
"What? He has a spirit fire?!"
Upon hearing this, You Rong Hanyou and You Rong Lianxin's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Chi Yuan in utter shock, never expecting that Chi Yuan would possess a spiritual fire!
How...how is this possible?!
"Little sister, don't try to fool me. Young Master Fufeng's cultivation is only at the first level of Spirit King. How could he possibly subdue a spirit fire?"
Rong Lianxin's breathing quickened, and she spoke with a hint of doubt.
"Yes, little sister, the difficulty of subduing a spirit fire is immense. Even a genius like Young Master Fufeng couldn't possibly subdue a spirit fire, could he?"
Rong Hanyou's expression was also one of disbelief. She had seen all sorts of geniuses and heard of countless others, but she had never heard of anyone who could subdue the Heavenly Spirit Fire at the Spirit King level, especially at the lowest Spirit King level. This was simply a fantasy!
Even the Xuantian Sect doesn't have such a genius, right?
Seeing the incredulous reactions of her two older sisters, You Rongxinya couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary abilities of Young Master Fufeng once again. If the news wasn't absolutely certain, who would believe that Young Master Fufeng had actually subdued the spirit fire at the Spirit King level?
"Eldest sister, second sister, I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's the truth, and Mother knows about it too."
Rong Xinya said earnestly.
"I can vouch for Young Master Fu Feng!"
At this moment, Wenren Bingying walked to Chi Yuan's side, raised her eyebrows and looked at the You Rong and Han You sisters, saying, "I have personally witnessed Young Master Fu Feng's spiritual fire. My Jade Purity Ice Spirit Pill was refined by Young Master Fu Feng using his spiritual fire. Don't you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, You Rong Hanyou and You Rong Lianxin exchanged bewildered glances. They knew about the Jade Purity Ice Spirit Pill, which was quite difficult to refine even among low-grade fourth-rank pills. How could Chi Yuan have refined a pill of this level? Did that mean that Chi Yuan was a fourth-rank alchemist with superb alchemy skills?
etc!
You Ronglian suddenly remembered something, looked sharply at Chi Yuan, and tentatively asked, "Young Master Fufeng, that Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill... could it have been refined by you personally?"
"I made it."
Chi Yuan gave a nonchalant response.
"..."
You Rong Hanyou and You Rong Lianxin were dumbfounded when they heard this.
That's a high-grade fourth-rank pill! Even a fourth-rank alchemist with low-level Spirit Emperor cultivation might not be able to refine it. Chi Yuan is only a first-level Spirit King, yet he can refine a high-grade fourth-rank pill.
And aren't alchemists generally considered to be relatively weak in combat? Why does Chi Yuan possess combat strength that surpasses five or six cultivation levels?!
Having alchemy skills far exceeding one's cultivation level is already outrageous enough, but to also possess such formidable combat power at the same time! Isn't that a bit too heaven-defying?
And that's not even the most outrageous part...
The most outrageous thing is that Chi Yuan actually subdued the spirit fire?
A first-tier Spirit King subdued a spirit fire that even a Spirit Sect Master struggled to control?!
Are you sure this isn't made up?
"I……"
You Ronglian opened her lips, but for a moment she couldn't say anything.
She seemed to understand why someone as proud as Rong Xinya would lower herself and actively pursue Chi Yuan.
"Oh dear, stop with the 'you' and 'me'! Second sister, quickly bring out that Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass and give it to Young Master Fufeng. He has already promised me that as long as I give him that Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass, he will borrow Mother's spiritual fire!"
You Rongxin stepped forward and tugged at You Ronglianxin, urging her urgently.
"Huh? Oh... okay..."
You Rong Lianxin was still somewhat dazed, but she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly took out the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass, presenting it to Chi Yuan with a somewhat awkward expression: "Fu Feng... Young Master Fu Feng, I'm so sorry, I've been cooped up in the cultivation room and didn't know you had any news about the spiritual fire, which is why I was competing with you for this medicine. Please forgive me..."
"It's alright."
Chi Yuan said nonchalantly, casually raising his hand to put the Heavenly Fire Earth Core Grass into his Qiankun Bag, and said in a low voice, "Take me to see Senior You Rong."
"Yes, Young Master Fu Feng."
"Your mother is up there right now, we'll take you there now."
You Rong Hanyou also showed a bit of restraint, turned slightly to the side, made a gesture of invitation, and then personally led the way.
