Chapter 1618 (Raw 1600): Auctioning a Slave

Inside Purple Sun City, rubble filled fifty kilometers of the dilapidated street where Idle Cloud Restaurant was . Many of the shops and tall buildings lining the street had collapsed . Blood flowed on the streets like a river, and corpses lay everywhere . A strong bloody stretch hung in the air .

“Ga! Ga! Ga!”

Red-eyed vultures wheeled in the night sky, giving off strange cries as they flapped their wings . As they circled around continuously, they stared at the corpses below, restless .

The vultures in the desert actually smelled the bloody stench and flew over . This was a first for Purple Sun City .

This clearly showed how many people had died on the streets .

Many of the corpses had scary saber wounds on them . The hazy saber intent had yet to fade away . However, even more corpses were torn apart, a gruesome sight to behold . These people were killed in such a violent fashion, their corpses no longer intact .

Many invisible aggrieved spirits struggled in pain, unable to scatter .

The black-clad arhat that had swept his way through the three First Elders, appearing unrivaled, was now captured and forced to his knees in humiliation .

Most of the corpses on the ground were his handiwork .

In order to kill the black-clad arhat, the disciples of the three Rank 2 sects and the Purple Cloud Pavilion experts gathered in a formation to surround him and suppress him .

However, the black-clad arhat still slaughtered most of the people, leaving the street filled with corpses .

“Let’s see how you are going to be arrogant now!”

The surviving cultivators from the Purple Cloud Pavilion and the Rank 2 sects continuously beat down on the kneeling black-clad arhat .

The black-clad arhat remained silent . He closed his eyes and suffered these blows .

Earlier, both sides went all-in . Among those who died were the friends, juniors, or seniors of the survivors . Hence, they naturally all held incredible hatred for the black-clad arhat .

The three First Elders of the three Rank 2 sects and the Purple Cloud Pavilion’s Auntie Bai could only let these people be .

“What should we do with this bald monk now? Should we kill him or imprison him?” the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor’s white-robed old man asked sullenly, a faint murderous intent flashing in his eyes .

The Burning Moon Sect’s red-clad old man replied coldly, “Kill him . Keeping him will only court disaster . ”

“We should keep him first; perhaps he is useful to Xiao Chen . Xiao Chen would never have expected this bald monk to end up in our hands . Isn’t he very loyal to his friends? Let’s suppress this bald monk and auction him away at the Purple Cloud Pavilion . Given Xiao Chen’s temper, he will definitely rush over . ” The Wind Chasing Sect’s azure-clad old man came up with a solution after a short time .

Auntie Bai nodded and said, “That is a good solution . Let’s just auction him off as a slave the day after tomorrow . Now that Xiao Chen is hiding, searching for him will be problematic . Let him come on his own initiative, and we will lay traps for him . ”

Auntie Bai had her own schemes . Selling a Major Primal Core Venerate as a slave would greatly boost the reputation of the Purple Cloud Pavilion .

A cold smile flashed on the white-robed old man’s face . “That’s right . That’s what we will do, then . This bald monk killed so many of our people . We should at least gain something back from him . Otherwise, we will be letting him off too easy . ”

As the four discussed this, they did not realize that the black-clad arhat sneered as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous .

“Good, it is settled, then . We will restrict this bald monk and auction him off two days later . ”

Far away, Lan Luo saw all this and could not help shaking her head heavily .

The secret guard hiding in the darkness laughed involuntarily at the distant scene, dumbfounded for a while .

“Young Miss, that is a Black Lotus Church arhat . These people are really seeking death . To think that they actually dare to auction off an arhat of the Black Lotus Church…should we give Auntie Bai some advice?”

A cold light flashed in Lan Luo’s eyes . She replied indifferently, “There’s no need . I have finally seen her true colors . If she wants to court disaster, that’s her problem . ”

Previously, when Feng Buyu sought out Auntie Bai, she immediately betrayed Xiao Chen . This flabbergasted Lan Luo, who had been there, rendering her speechless .

When Lan Luo tried to advise Auntie Bai otherwise, it had been useless . Instead, Auntie Bai lectured her, saying that she did not understand business and was not experienced enough .

“I now understand why the clan gave up on her . She forgets about the clan when it comes to pursuing her own interests!”

Heavy disappointment flashed in Lan Luo’s eyes .

An Yue said softly, “Surprisingly, that Xiao Chen even managed to establish a connection with the Black Lotus Church; he is truly not simple at all . No matter how I look, I feel that he is an outstanding talent of a Great Desolate bloodline . I just cannot sense what it is . ”

Lan Luo was not surprised . “Of the Great Desolate bloodlines, aside from the strongest hundred races, some of the weaker bloodlines survived as well . During the Great Desolate Eon, ten thousand races contested against each other . They did not all go extinct . Some managed to pass down their bloodlines as well; it is just that they are not as famous as the Great Desolate Hundred Races . ”

“No wonder . ” An Yue nodded gently, feeling enlightened .

However, both of them got it wrong . Xiao Chen’s bloodline was that of the strongest hundred races of the Great Desolate Eon . It was just that the Azure Dragon Race had been extinct for too long already, and the world did not have much of an impression of it anymore .

When the sky turned bright, Xiao Chen came out of his cultivation and saw Senior Gui rushing over .

When Senior Gui saw Xiao Chen, he was stunned . There was a strange charm of the Dao coming from him, as well as a powerful air . This distracted Senior Gui for a while .

How absurd! What is this? Is this the legendary Dao?

This was especially so for Xiao Chen’s eyes . They were bright and pure like gems of the Starry Heavens . They were filled with charm and appeared boundlessly deep .

With just one look, it felt like one would fall into them .

Xiao Chen had completely stabilized his Saber Great Dao at the second level, which resulted in him giving off this air of transcending the mundane .

After cultivating for one night, he had thoroughly internalized the comprehensions he gained from the huge battle at Idle Cloud Restaurant . He managed to stabilize his comprehension of the Great Dao on the second level, which did not come easily, as well as the new Fish Dragon Art Movement Technique .

This could be truly considered as being reborn .

[TL Note: Throughout the novel, Xiao Chen has been described as reborn many times already . Obviously, this is not literal . This is a Chinese way of expressing a complete change, so much so that the current self becomes unrecognizable when compared to the old self . ]

However, Xiao Chen knew that this was far from sufficient . He still needed to raise his cultivation . Only then could he avoid using his trump cards when fighting Major Primal Core Venerates .

Of course, he was still far from capable of fighting late-stage Major Primal Core experts .

“Senior Gui, has Senior Liu come out yet?” Xiao Chen asked with a relaxed expression .

Senior Gui returned to his senses and replied, making a strange face, “I’m not sure . Several explosions came from his place last night . When I went over to take a look, he did not let me in . I have no idea what happened in there . ”

Did he fail?

That was logical and not surprising . There had never been any guarantees when refining Medicinal Pills . Furthermore, this was the Heavenly Yang Pill, a forbidden medicine that had been lost for countless years .

“Let me go take a look . ”

Right now, Xiao Chen still could not come to a conclusion . He calmed himself and headed to the pill refining room where Senior Liu was .

“Go on, then . The modifications to the pirate ship are already in the final phase . I cannot delay here for too long . ”

Senior Gui had a strong sense of responsibility . After accepting Xiao Chen’s Spirit Jades, he had been working hard .

When Xiao Chen arrived before the Senior Liu’s refining room, he smelled something burnt, even before he entered, seeping out from the seams of the door .

“Little Brother Xiao Chen, you are here . Quick, come in . ”

Senior Liu’s excited voice came from inside the room . When Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered, complete disorder greeted him . Berserk Baleful Yang Energy permeated the air .

Dust and ash hung the air as well . Xiao Chen fanned them away with his hand and saw a charred Senior Liu wearing tattered clothes . Senior Liu’s face was also covered in wounds .

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Chen ventured, “The cauldron exploded?”

Senior Liu appeared somewhat embarrassed as he nodded . “Three times…as for the results…well, you can see for yourself . ”

The cauldron exploding was something that happened only with unskilled Alchemists . It was the result of improper fire control .

There would definitely be failures in refining Medicinal Pills . However, experienced Alchemists normally would not cause the cauldron to explode .

The danger and destruction from a cauldron explosion were uncontrollable .

When Xiao Chen saw the situation, he already knew what happened .

However, what was unexpected was that Senior Liu actually had the cauldron explode three times in one night .

“Senior Liu, there is no need to push yourself so hard . Are you alright?”

Xiao Chen felt that this was quite unusual . Senior Liu was pushing himself a little too hard, not caring about his own life at all .

However, Senior Liu laughed loudly and carefreely . He tugged Xiao Chen somewhat excitedly and said, “It’s fine . I feel that I am close to making a breakthrough . I already refined your Heavenly Yang Pill . Look!”

Xiao Chen looked in the direction Senior Liu indicated and saw a bright white Medicinal Pill in a damaged brocade box in the corner .

The surface of that Medicinal Pill had perfect flame patterns and flickered with flowing golden light .

Occasionally, intense light flashed . The piercing light nearly prevented Xiao Chen from looking directly at it .

He could not help feeling rather excited . The Heavenly Yang Pill was truly completed . Furthermore, it was of perfect quality .

Senior Liu took in Xiao Chen’s expression with a gratified smile . When anyone saw another person admiring the pill that one made, one would feel sincerely satisfied .
