Previously, Wang Yi obtained Eight Hundred Thousand High-Grade Yuan Stones and Three Million Middle-Grade Yuan Stones from the ten elders of the Canglan Sect. He also received Four Hundred Thousand High-Quality Origin Stones from the Yin Yang Elders, and Five Hundred Thousand High-Grade Yuan Stones from the Second Elder and Elder Three of the Canglan Sect. In addition to the Two Hundred Seventy Thousand High-Quality Yuan Stones and Seventy-Eight Thousand Middle-Grade Yuan Stones he originally had, he now possessed a total of One Million Nine Hundred Seventy Thousand Superior Yuan Stones and Three Million Seven Hundred Eighty Thousand Middle-Grade Yuan Stones.
This sum of wealth reflects the immense existence of the Canglan Sect, which would take decades to accumulate such Multiverse Stone.
However, Wang Yi still felt some concern. Although he had sufficient Yuan Stones, the amount of Fire Elemental Power required by the Fire Spirit was unimaginably vast. Therefore, whether this amount of Yuan Stone could purchase enough Fire Elemental Power to awaken the Fire Spirit remained uncertain.
The largest city in the Killing Fields was named Killing City, with a population exceeding ten million. The city spanned dozens of miles in length and width, housing countless powerful factions. There were dozens of Breakthrough Experts, and Transcendent Realm Experts could often be encountered.
Thus, Wang Yi decided to change his appearance, disguising himself as a middle-aged man. He intentionally created a scar on his left cheek and exuded a hint of killing intent, making him appear extremely menacing. Many ruthless martial artists avoided him at all costs, understanding that this person was not to be trifled with.
The Source Auction House was the largest auction house in Killing City, rumored to be backed by a Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer Expert, making it rare for anyone to cause trouble there.
Soon, Wang Yi arrived at the Source Auction House, where he was greeted by a beautiful young woman. "Esteemed guest, how may I assist you?" she asked.
"Have someone in charge come out," Wang Yi replied in a hoarse voice. Coupled with his fierce appearance, he resembled a devil; any child who saw him would surely cry in fear.
However, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Please follow me."
She led Wang Yi to a VIP Room on the second floor before respectfully withdrawing.
The room was elegantly decorated with a tea table that held a pot of hot tea and an incense burner, filling the air with a delightful fragrance.
Before long, an elder clad in white entered. "I am Zhou Hai," he said. "I wonder what this esteemed guest requires; our Source Auction House will do its utmost to accommodate you." After introducing himself as Zhou Hai, the elder sized up Wang Yi. With a cultivation level of Breakthrough Second Layer, he might be considered strong elsewhere, but in Killing City, he wouldn't even make a ripple.
Seeing that Wang Yi's cultivation was only Breakthrough Second Layer eased Zhou Hai's wariness considerably.
Zhou Hai was Breakthrough Seventh Layer.
"I need a material that contains Fire Elemental Power." Wang Yi glanced at Zhou Hai with an expressionless face, but his heart was shocked. The Source Auction House truly lived up to its reputation as the most powerful guild in Killing City. Even a mere attendant was a Breakthrough Sevenfold expert. Such cultivation would undoubtedly make one a dominant figure in the Song Kingdom.
"How much do you need, esteemed guest?" Zhou Hai stroked his White Beard and asked with a smile.
"The more, the better," Wang Yi replied indifferently.
"Oh." Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai looked at the calm Wang Yi and showed a serious expression. "Please wait a moment."
With that, he left the VIP Room.
After a short while, Zhou Hai returned.
"Esteemed guest, are these sufficient?" Zhou Hai took out two Storage Rings and placed them on the table, gesturing for Wang Yi to take a look.
"Not enough." With lightning speed, Wang Yi used his Soul Power to examine the items in the two rings and shook his head. The contents of these two Storage Rings were all spirit herbs or Beast Cores infused with Fire Elemental Power, but the quantity was far from sufficient for him.
"Not enough?" Zhou Hai was taken aback by this response, revealing a look of surprise. "Esteemed guest, are you joking with me? The items in these two Storage Rings contain ample Fire Elemental Power, valued at 170,000 High-Quality Origin Stones. The implication is clear: you are here to cause trouble."
"I will accept these for now, but I wonder if your guild can procure more of such materials," Wang Yi waved his hand, and 170,000 High-Quality Origin Stones piled up like a mountain on the ground. He then swept the materials from the two Storage Rings into his own Storage Ring.
"Hiss!"
Looking at the mountain of High-Quality Origin Stones, Zhou Hai gasped in disbelief, showing an expression of incredulity. After a long silence, he said, "Esteemed guest, it seems that your material needs have far exceeded our guild's expectations."
Wang Yi nodded affirmatively. "I need a large quantity of materials containing Fire Elemental Power, whether they are spirit herbs, Beast Cores, or rare items; I want them all."
"Esteemed guest, although our guild is the best in Killing City, it will be somewhat difficult to provide the quantity you require," Zhou Hai said with a hint of a wry smile.
Wang Yi sighed, realizing he needed to think of another way. However, he heard Zhou Hai say, "Our trading association will hold a large auction in half a month. At that time, three pieces of Fire Essence will be auctioned off. I believe these should be enough for your needs!"
"Fire Essence? Is that true?" Wang Yi was taken aback. Fire Essence belonged to the category of Fire Essence and contained the most refined Fire Elemental Power. It was no exaggeration to say that one piece of Fire Essence contained more than twice the Fire Elemental Power of the materials Wang Yi currently had, making it extremely precious and its price astonishingly high.
"That's right." Zhou Hai nodded with a smile, pulling out a Golden Wooden Plaque from his pocket and handing it to Wang Yi. "This is the VIP card of our association; you can use it to enter at that time."
"Okay." Wang Yi accepted the Gold Card, nodded, and left the Source Auction House.
"Zhou Lao, should I send someone to keep an eye on this person?" a sturdy man stepped forward respectfully.
"No need. Although we don't know this person's background, being able to take out 170,000 High-Quality Origin Stones at once suggests they must belong to a prominent family. Recently, Killing City has gathered various forces, and even Zhongzhou has sent several families here. It's best not to stir up trouble during this time," Zhou Hai waved his hand.
"Understood." The sturdy man nodded and disappeared in a flash.
As night fell, Wang Yi settled into an inn.
After taking out all the materials he had purchased, Wang Yi immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to circulate his Primordial Energy.
Breathe!
With a single word exhaled, the Fire Elemental Power contained in these spiritual herbs and Beast Cores was quickly absorbed by Wang Yi until nothing remained, turning into a pile of ash in no time.
At the same time, within his Sea of Consciousness, the soul light of the Fire Spirit finally flickered with a hint of brightness. Although still very faint, Wang Yi could sense a trace of the Fire Spirit's aura within it.
He let out a long breath and glanced at the ash on the ground. Wang Yi tightened his fists; he must find those three pieces of Fire Essence no matter what.
In the following half month, Wang Yi scoured all the trading associations in Killing City, purchasing a large batch of materials containing Fire Elemental Power. This finally solidified the aura of the Fire Spirit significantly. Wang Yi believed that as long as he acquired three pieces of Fire Essence, he would surely be able to awaken the Fire Spirit. Meanwhile, his cultivation successfully broke through to Breakthrough Sevenfold.
Originally, Wang Yi had undergone numerous battles, and the essence of Primordial Energy within him had solidified significantly, reaching Breakthrough Five. During this time, he had refined countless Fire Elemental Powers and allowed the Fire Spirit to absorb them, but he also absorbed a considerable amount of Fire Elemental Power himself, which led to his breakthrough to Breakthrough Seven; everything came naturally.
Moreover, Wang Yi felt that his Soul Power had also increased significantly, which delighted him.
That day, Wang Yi arrived early at the Source Auction House. With the VIP card given by Zhou Hai, he was arranged by the attendants into a VIP Room on the second floor. From above, everything below was clearly visible.
At this moment, the Killing Fields had gathered many forces, including first-level powers like Yin Yang Sect, Yanzong, and Wolf Gate, as well as second-level powers such as Tiger Gang, Tiger Wolf Gang, Frenzied Blade Sect, and over a hundred other factions.
However, Wang Yi was surprised to discover that the classification of forces in the Killing Fields was even more formidable than that of Song Kingdom. In the Killing Fields, so-called superpowers referred to the Slaughtering Four Kings. These four major forces each had Transcendent Realm Experts among them, with dozens of Transcendent Realm Experts and Breakthrough Experts under their command. A first-level power required at least two Transcendent Realm Experts and ten Breakthrough Experts, while a second-level power needed at least one Transcendent Realm Expert and three Breakthrough Experts.
Thus, the three major forces of Song Kingdom were merely positioned between first and second levels in the Killing Fields.
Not long after, within less than a tea's time, Wang Yi had already spotted four Transcendent Realm Experts and more than seventeen Breakthrough Warriors, which left him secretly astonished.
At that moment, a tide of discussions suddenly erupted from the first floor Auction House.
"Blood Sect's Wu Cong has arrived."
"I heard Wu Cong's son was killed in Killing Domain Space. Wu Cong is furious and has allied with Emperor Xie and Ghost Cold to pressure North King Xiao Xingyun. Xiao Xingyun and his son were severely injured and fled; their whereabouts are still unknown. I wonder what he is here for?"
"In my opinion, Xiao Xingyun and his son are most likely dead. Otherwise, where have they been for over half a year? With Xiao Xingyun gone, the position of North King is now vacant; I don't know how many faction leaders are eyeing it."
"Indeed, this is a piece of fat meat. Whoever becomes king will surely see their power greatly increase. Once an order is issued, who in the Killing Fields would dare disobey?"
"However, Wu Cong is only at the Seventh Level of Creation Realm. He is being watched by Qiao Meiniang from Yanzong and the Yin Yang Twin Fiends from Yin Yang Sect. It won't be easy for him to sit on that throne!"
Hearing the discussions below, Wang Yi's gaze flickered as he looked down. The first floor suddenly fell silent as if a noisy duck had its throat suddenly grasped by someone.
Tap tap!
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps echoed.
Although the footsteps were not loud, the entire Auction House fell into a deathly silence because of it. Everyone seemed to hold their breath, staring at the door. Soon, a red figure slowly appeared before everyone—a blood-red robe, blood-colored hair, blood-red eyebrows, and a cold gaze. The entire person gave off a feeling of blood.
This person was none other than Blood Sect Leader Wu Cong, at the Seventh Level of Creation Realm, followed by four Transcendent Realm Experts.
Although Wang Yi had seen Wu Cong once before, this time he clearly felt that Wu Cong's presence was even more intense. The unyielding aura was stronger than that of Meng Hang and Lian Bi by more than a notch.
"Master Wu, your presence is an honor for our Source Auction House. Please," Zhou Hai stepped forward, his pupils slightly constricting as he smiled.
"Thank you for your trouble, Steward Zhou," Wu Cong replied calmly. His expression was very composed, looking nothing like someone who had just lost a child.
Before long, Wang Yi saw the three rulers of the Killing Fields: Emperor Xie, Ghost Cold, and Fengyunxin.
Each of their arrivals stirred up quite a commotion in the Auction House, which made Wang Yi secretly speculate why all these top figures from the Killing Fields had come for just an auction. Could it be that there was something valuable to be auctioned this time?
