Chapter 3520: High-End Resources
Ye Liuyun didn't go out to greet the other mercenary groups, nor did he explain anything. He kept cultivating at his residence, waiting for the auction to begin.
After refining a drop of condensed Divine Core, his realm did not break through, so he simply refined another drop, and finally broke his realm to the Taixu Third Layer Peak state.
He also did not directly break through the Third Layer. After a Taixu realm breakthrough to a minor sub‑realm, it requires consolidation; otherwise, if the True Essence quality is insufficient, the breakthrough fails and the next attempt will take much longer.
Just after his breakthrough, the auction time arrived, and Ye Liuyun had not a moment to rest, hurrying to the auction.
The merchant guild allotted one private room slot, allowing at most three companions, so Luo Yu voluntarily gave up the chance to join the fun, since she had nothing she wanted to buy.
Thus Ye Liuyun took Lei Ming, Long Nv, and Chen Yueying, and also brought Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan, treating them as guards who could wait outside the private room.
The Administrator of the merchant guild had long known Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan, and upon seeing them serve as guards for Ye Liuyun, realized that Ye Liuyun was the leader of the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps.
"So you're the leader of the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps, my apologies!"
"No need for formalities, Administrator; mercenaries are also Martial Cultivators, just a different way to earn a living, not superior at all!"
Ye Liuyun also exchanged courtesies with the Administrator, then entered the private room under his guidance. Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan stayed at the doorway.
After the Administrator left, he muttered to himself, "You really can't tell; this youngster wiped out several mercenary figures overnight. Yet his wealth doesn't look like a mercenary's!"
But he was too lazy to bother with such matters; he wouldn't disclose Ye Liuyun's information to anyone, lest it bring trouble upon himself.
After entering the private room, Ye Liuyun and his party began scanning the other rooms with Golden Pupil. Each room is protected by a Formation that blocks Divine Sense detection, and only Golden Pupil can reveal the interior.
Then Ye Liuyun relayed the observed information to Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan, asking them to help verify these people's identities.
Both of them introduced each person to Ye Liuyun: "The occupant of Private Room No. 1 is the City Lord of this city, Gan Lin; the elderly man with guards is the Clan Chief of the local Ding Family, Ding Yuantang;
that Demon Cultivator is the manager of the local casino, Ouyang He; and the young gentleman, Guan Mutong, is said to be a scion of a nearby noble house who fell for a courtesan and has stayed in the city ever since..."
The two of them were intimately familiar with these city figures, knowing exactly the strength of each major faction, as if they had mastered the details.
After hearing their briefing, Ye Liuyun felt reassured, as no faction seemed to match him; even Seventh Layer masters were rare.
There were also two people inside a private room whom Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan did not recognize; they were not locals.
One of the Demon Cultivators, cloaked in a black robe that hid his face, was seen by Ye Liuyun as a man in his fifties. His own realm was Taixu Seventh Layer.
Moreover, his Divine Soul Power was not weak; he seemed to be the strongest in the auction.
There was also a young gentleman of Taixu Fifth Layer, accompanied by two guards—one of Seventh Layer, the other of Sixth Layer—clearly not weak.
In the hall beneath the private rooms, two Martial Cultivators in black cloaks stood, one of whom was a Demon Cultivator; both were at Taixu Sixth Layer.
Soon, an auction attendant delivered a catalog to Ye Liuyun and his group.
"This freshly compiled auction list includes a few added precious items; distinguished guests, please review!"
Ye Liuyun took it and began studying its contents.
"Whoa, it opens with Jade Divine Bone!" Ye Liuyun was shocked upon seeing the first lot.
Next came various sixth‑grade and above pills and weapons, then Golden
Spirit Horn, Twin‑Bloom Flower, Blue Lotus Seed, Divine Blood Stone and other exceptional earthly treasures.
Ye Liuyun, unfamiliar with their uses, jumped straight to the last few items, finding a Demon‑God Primordial Pill of a super‑Taixu realm, a Dragon Bone dagger, and a Transform‑God Fruit.
Just looking at them, he felt they were far from ordinary resources. He didn't understand them, and Lei Ming and Long Nv knew even less, so they handed the catalog to Chen Yueying.
Chen Yueying scanned it and exclaimed, "These are all excellent! Golden Spirit Horn, a high‑end resource for body refining, far superior to Mixed‑Origin Gold.
Twin‑Bloom Flower can double Divine Soul Power. Blue Lotus Seed can purify Divine Soul Power. Divine Blood Stone is the best resource for enhancing bloodlines..."
Heavens! There's also the Transform‑God Fruit, said to turn True Essence into Divine Essence! One can grant a person a Divine Essence of extremely high quality...
Chen Yueying's hand trembled with excitement as she held the catalog.
Ye Liuyun, Lei Ming and the others were startled as well, never expecting such high‑end items.
"That Twin‑Bloom Flower really can double Divine Soul Power?"
Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask. He understood the effect of the Transform‑God Fruit and knew it was a treasure. He now worried his Divine Crystals were insufficient to purchase so many fine items.
"I've only heard about it, but the effect shouldn't be that far off!" Chen Yueying replied.
Ye Liuyun immediately summoned all Alchemists within the Space World, asking each to confirm the effects and usage methods.
The Alchemists, upon hearing of so many fine items, were greatly shocked and explained to Ye Liuyun in a flurry of voices.
"Twin‑Bloom Flower depends on whether it's a single or double stalk; double stalk can be used by two people, single by one, but its effect indeed doubles Divine Soul Power.
Transform‑God Fruit depends on its size and the user's True Essence quality; if the user has high True Essence quality and the fruit is large enough, two people can consume it... One Blue Lotus Seed can purify Divine Soul Power, and taking more has no extra effect... Golden Spirit Horn is a plant whose metallic energy indeed yields excellent body‑refining results..."
These are each of their conclusions based on known information; the specifics still require the actual items for verification.
As for the Demon‑God Primordial Pill and the Dragon Bone dagger, Ye Liuyun guessed Lei Ming and Long Nv would certainly be interested, as would the Jade Divine Bone and some pills; the Monster Beasts also needed them.
"By this calculation, the required Divine Crystals will certainly be a lot!"
Ye Liuyun, while having Lan Xin and others gather resources, contemplated how to acquire all these items.
He immediately brought out the resources obtained in recent days; any surplus he sent Cheng Huofeng to the merchant guild to exchange for Primordial Power or Divine Crystals. Even buying extra strength‑enhancing pills for the Monster Beasts would be fine.
