Chapter 32: Sixth-Grade Beast Flame!

The weather cleared up, the rain stopped, and now you think you're capable?

Obtaining a Mid-level Earth-ranked Dou Technique, Jia Xing Tian was feeling a bit elated. Chen Guan pondered for a moment but decided not to dampen his enthusiasm.

Besides, he wasn't sure when Yun Shan had started making contact with the [Jie Jie Jie].

"We'll see when the time comes."

"Oh, by the way, Elder Jia, I have something to ask for today. I want to obtain a flame from the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast."

Although Chen Guan said it to Jia Xing Tian, his gaze was directed at the small lake in front of him.

With his peak Venerate-level soul perception, he could clearly sense a domineering power hidden within the lake. It fluctuated in strength, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and its state was unstable.

Without needing to think, Chen Guan knew that it was the guardian beast of Jia Ma's royal family, the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast. Despite coming to this back mountain numerous times, he had never seen the appearance of this guardian beast.

"Do you want it now?" Jia Xing Tian asked.

"Tomorrow. I'll go to the Alchemist Guild in the afternoon to retrieve the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. It'll be safer to drink a sip before obtaining the beast flame."

"Haha, there's no need to go through so much trouble. With us here, it won't be difficult for you to refine the beast flame. Of course, you will definitely face some hardships."

Jia Xing Tian shook his head and laughed, finally finding a sense of superiority in front of this young man.

Having an outstanding junior was both luck and a source of annoyance. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't fully appreciate the aura of being a Dou Emperor powerhouse. Today, he finally had the opportunity to show off.

"The Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast has accumulated many hidden injuries from fighting alongside our royal family for many years. Its condition is not good now. If it exerts its full power, it will only sustain a few more injuries before its condition deteriorates. Currently, most of its time is spent in deep sleep, slowing down the spread of its injuries."

"If it weren't for its inability to continue fighting due to its condition, relying solely on the Misty Cloud Sect wouldn't have become a major concern for our royal family."

Jia Xing Tian recounted the situation of the guardian beast.

Chen Guan nodded in understanding.

In fact, he had known about it for a long time.

Not only that, he also knew that the royal family had come up with a solution to heal the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast's hidden injuries.

A Mid-grade Level Six pill - "Elemental Bone-Building Pill"!

Moreover, the medicinal ingredients were already prepared. The only thing lacking was a Mid to High-grade Level Six alchemist.

There was no need to mention Gu He. Regardless of the Misty Cloud Sect's and the royal family's stance, Gu He had only recently been promoted to the Sixth Grade and was still considered a newcomer.

Among the same grade of alchemists, the difference between a newcomer and a veteran who had immersed themselves for countless years was immense. With Gu He's current level, entrusting him with the task would most likely be a waste of the medicinal ingredients.

"Old buddy, wake up."

Accompanied by Jia Xing Tian's call imbued with Dou Qi, the surface of the small lake began to churn violently, like boiling water in a pot.

Soon, a huge serpent-shaped demonic beast appeared in Chen Guan's line of sight.

Chen Guan observed it carefully. This was his first time seeing a Sixth-Grade demonic beast. Even though the beast didn't intentionally emit its aura and had a wounded body, it still exerted significant pressure on him, like standing beneath a slanted wall.

The Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast also observed the young man. When it occasionally woke up before, Jia Xing Tian had not missed the opportunity to mention him.

Now, seeing him in person, the beast realized that he indeed surpassed all the people it had encountered before.

"You old man, why did you wake me up? I can't make a move now unless it's the final battle. Otherwise, don't bother me."

The Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast spoke with a loud voice, slightly dissatisfied.

Jia Xing Tian didn't beat around the bush and immediately mentioned Chen Guan's need for the beast flame.

"Are you an alchemist?" The Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast looked at the young man.

A high-grade beast flame held considerable value. Whether used for alchemy or puppet refinement, it could play a significant role.

Furthermore, it could enhance combat strength, as it was also a means of battle.

Chen Guan nodded in agreement. As an alchemist, as long as he had hands, he could do it. "I also know a high-ranking alchemist within the Empire. If you give me some time, I should be able to ask him for help in refining some pills to heal your hidden injuries."

"Can he refine a Mid-grade Level Six pill?"

Jia Xing Tian was even more excited than the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast. He didn't even ask who the person was, saving Chen Guan the trouble of explaining.

"He can!"

"Hahaha, good! Chen kid, to be honest..."

After talking for a while, Jia Xing Tian ultimately gave him three sets of medicinal ingredients for refining the Elemental Bone-Building Pill, along with the prescription.

Feeling hopeful for recovery, the slightly grumpy Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast was also pleased with the result. The atmosphere was harmonious, and the matter of obtaining the beast flame became simple.

With the assistance of Jia Xing Tian and the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast, Chen Guan didn't even feel much pain. He easily refined the flame.

Opening his palm, a dark blue flame rose in Chen Guan's hand, crackling and exuding intense heat. Even from a distance, one could feel its ferocity.

Combat technique +1.

Thanking Jia Xing Tian and the Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast, Chen Guan left with satisfaction.

He didn't need to worry about the Elemental Bone-Building Pill for now. He would keep it in mind and bring it up when he was ready to meet with Xiao Yan and his master.

The Abyssal Sea Jiao Beast, equivalent to an Eight-Star Dou Emperor after its hidden injuries were healed, would be a considerable boost.

Miteer Auction House.

In the luxurious hall, there was a pervasive sense of wealth. That was Chen Guan's first impression upon arrival.

The spacious hall was already filled with people, bustling and lively. Whether all of them came with genuine intentions to participate in the auction was unknown, but Chen Guan had heard enough lewd comments and whispers along the way, not much different from the description of Wutan City in the original work.

LSP, everywhere! (T/N: Slang for Love Sick Puppy)

Chen Guan arrived halfway through the auction, which didn't quite follow the usual procedure. However, Miteer Auction House was a place for making money, and with enough gold coins, the procedures were as flexible as a prostitute.

He found a position toward the back and set his gaze upon the cheongsam-clad young woman on the stage. Despite her young age, she exuded an enchanting and graceful aura, able to raise the prices of auction items with just a few words.

Ya Fei!

She was truly remarkable!

Knowing how to use her own advantages was also a kind of wisdom. If this woman were in his hometown, she would definitely be a capable businesswoman who could navigate the market with ease.

It was a pity that being born in the world of Dou Qi Continent meant it would be difficult to reach a bigger stage without cultivation talent.

"The next item up for auction is a fragmentary map. I believe many of you have heard of it. A year ago, the royal family, Misty Cloud Sect, Miteer Family, and others jointly explored the Magic Beast Mountain Range and discovered a powerful ancient cave. This fragmentary map was obtained by my Miteer Family during the exploration. After being appraised by our clan leader and elders, it is highly likely to be related to an unparalleled secret. If it weren't for our Miteer Family primarily engaging in business, we would hesitate to auction it."

"Ya Fei, let's move on quickly. You said the same thing two days ago at your auction."

"I remember this map was bought by a dumbass a few days ago. Why couldn't they figure it out and returned it to be auctioned again?"

"Bang!"

The sound of a fist hitting a face.

"What are you doing?"

"I am the dumbass you were talking about!"
