The Lightning Core

The auction commenced and an old man walked to the front. The old man started the auction "Hello, I am Su Zhi and I will be running the auction. The first item on the list is an unknown blue flower that is supposed to have high energy readings. We are unable to appraisal it but it might have a lot of value. Item starts at 5,000 Yuan."

Meng Hao stood up in shock, this item is the Lightning Spirit Flower. The flower is a Grade 5 Spirit Herb and it is the main ingredients of the Lightning Core Pill. The Lightning Core Pill allows one to build a Lightning Core and gives the ability to control and store lightning essentially giving them an elemental affinity just like a bloodline. Very few people know this pill formula because its very existence poses a danger to Bloodline Clans because it shows that normal cultivators can gain affinity without even being born special which was a very dangerous thing when they have to hold up their prestige.

Meng Hao lifted his hand and said with a voice that boomed across the hall "THAT HERB IS MINE, MY MASTER NEEDS IT!"

Everyone who was in the auction looked up at the hooded figure in the VIP section, no one dared to contest him after seeing his cultivation and so the herb was his for 10,000 Yuan. But everyone was convinced that the herb wasn't anything normal after all.

After the flower, there were some skills and cultivation techniques that were sold but none of them was interesting to Meng Hao but finnaly an item that interested him showed up "The next item we have on the list is the Azure Cauldron, it is a high-grade cauldron that increases control of Flame and Spirit, Item starts at 80,000 Yuan."

Meng Hao rose his hand and said: "The cauldron is mine. My Master also needs this."

Although he didn't shout like before his appearance from before was still a shock that reverberated. But the Ouyang Patriarch looked at Meng Hao and asked: "Sir Fang Ah, we really need this Cauldron..."

As he started talking Meng Hao looked over and sent the aura of his 3 Martial Spirits causing the patriarch to get suppressed. Although his Martial Spirits are just Human Grade 6 they are martial spirits made to suppress the heavens. The golden aura around his 3 martial spirits is the aura of one who stands over the heavens.

The Ouyang Patriarch slumped down and didn't say another world. He truly lost face today alongside his daughter.

The auction had a few more uninteresting items so he asked Su Ru to bring his items now and he also bought 3,000 Yuan worth of herbs to make the Lightning Core Pill leaving him with 2,000 Yuan.

He stored everything in the Spatial Ring and left the auction house not letting anyone else have contact with him.

He immediatly ran home and snuck through the back door and found his way back into his courtyard. He immediatly took off his cloak and the special formations on his body.

He immediately pulled out the cauldron from the spatial ring and activated his Divine Phoenix Spirit Flame. Using his Spiritual Power he guided the flame around the cauldron causing it to burn, on the side of the cauldron some pictures started glowing meaning he has synchronized with the Cauldron.

Meng Hao then took out the first and most important ingredient, the Lighting Spirit Flower. He then started putting in the rest of the ingredients one by one and using his flame it started to get purified and harden into one pill.

He covered the top of the cauldron with his flames and waited for the popping sounds to stop. The second he heard the popping stop he released the spirit flame and the pill flew out into his hand.

The pill was pulsating a blue aura of lightning and lit up his courtyard during this night of the full moon, Meng Hao immediately sat down and ate the pill. A storm started brew above his courtyard and lightning started gathering. But luckily Meng Hao setdown a spell that would block any aura from escaping his courtyard.

In his body, a blue core started to become solid and it started absorbing the lightning gathering from the clouds.

In the end, although Meng Hao was gasping for breath and passed out again, the lightning core fully formed and he gained another powerful asset to his arsenal. His gains during this trip were completely worth and even though he spent almost all of his 100,000 Yuan it didn't matter because his foundation was more established due to the lightning core.

Meng Hao woke up the next morning and gathered all the leftovers into his Spatial Ring. Since his foundation has been established by the Lightning Core he needed to cultivate quickly so he could leave the clan and find more opportunities elsewhere.
