“It shouldn’t be enough and might be very far off.” Su Mei carefully phrased her words, “It isn’t because your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir isn’t comparable to the mystic skill manual. After all, your Beast Soul Elixir still has to be nurtured. Furthermore, if such a high-grade Beast Soul Elixir was used to subdue an eighth-grade demonic beast to refine into a martial soul, there was still a high chance of failure. But for the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, as long as one’s mystic meridian talents are sufficient, one could learn it directly. It would entirely be able to allow a martial artist’s cultivation to achieve drastic growth.”
This woman spoke very tactfully, but Yang Dingtian already knew.
She was basically saying that if he wanted to use the money that he would get from auctioning the Beast Soul Elixir to buy the eighth-grade mystic skill manual, it would be totally a pipedream.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian asked in his heart, “Master, is the eighth-grade mystic skill manual really incredible?”
Dongfang Niemie stayed silent for a moment and said, “Xiao Tian, do you know what grade is your thunder attribute mystic skill, Devil Heaven Split?”
Yang Dingtian replied, “I am not sure.”
“It is seventh-grade.” Dongfang Niemie clarified.
Yang Dingtian was instantly surprised, that Devil Flame Saber Art was actually one grade higher than the thunder attribute Devil Heaven Split. It was imaginable how incredible it was.
“Of course, a thunder attribute mystic skill is extremely rare, and even though it is only at seventh-grade, the value of the Devil Heaven Split is still many times more valuable than the eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art.” Dongfang Niemie continued, “But in terms of power, the lethality of an eighth-grade mystic skill is at least 50% superior to a seventh-grade mystic skill! To be even more straightforward, if there is an eighth-grade mystic skill manual in Cloud Heaven City, only core descendants like you and Yanyan can learn it.”
Yang Dingtian took another breath of cold air instantly. If this was the case, the chances of auctioning of Devil Flame Saber Art was even going to be more uncertain.
But Yang Dingtian was still unwilling to give up as he asked, “Young Lady Su, according to your estimate, what will be the auction price of the Devil Flame Saber Art?”
“I do not know either.” Su Mei said, “But I am certain that it will not be a contest with gold coins. Once the gold coins reach a certain number, it will become useless. The final price increases will surely be used with valuable materials, manuals, and elixirs of the best grades.”
Immediately, Su Mei asked, “Mister Shen, are you determined to obtain this eighth-grade mystic skill manual?”
Yang Dingtian said, “I cannot say that I am determined, but I really wish to get it.”
“Then, I have a suggestion.” Su Mei said.
“Please say.” Yang Dingtian responded.
“That manual’s price will surely be astronomical. Hence, you will need to have sufficient gold coins to enter the final phase of the contest.” Su Mei said, “According to my estimate, the figure for the gold coins should be around 100 million. It is equivalent to the annual tax of a thousand-mile territory. Your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir will ultimately be auctioned for around 50 million. To be safe, it will be best for you to auction another item that is equivalent to the value of the Beast Soul Elixir. This way, you will have sufficient gold coins to enter the final phase of the contest.”
Su Mei carried on and said, “Of course, even with 100 million gold coins, you will merely be able to enter the final phase of the contest. I also do not know how much gold coins will be needed at the end because there are at least two influential figures in the Northwest Continent and are determined to obtain this eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. I can only say so much. Any more information will be violating the rules.”
After this statement was out, Yang Dingtian felt that his chances were non-existent.
He definitely had treasures that were worth more than the eighth-grade mystic skill manual; moreover, he had more than one.
Inside of Ximen Ningning’s spatial ring, there were three or four scrolls of the spiritual scrolls that were equivalent or superior to the eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art.
There was also the ice attribute mystic talisman, which was more than enough to buy four or five of those eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. Of course, it didn’t mean that the power of an ice attribute mystic talisman would surpass four or five of those eighth-grade mystic skill manuals. It was just that ice attribute mystic talismans were too rare and were all left behind from ancient times. They were much rarer than mystic skill manuals.
As for the value of the youngling sword, it was needless to say that nothing could be compared to it.
But, none of these valuable items could be used for transactions. Yang Dingtian was already regretting that he was going to auction off the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir, as he previously assumed that it was only a sixth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. He didn’t know that it had the potential of an eighth-grade.
All those higher graded spiritual type mystic skill scrolls in the spatial ring belonged to Ximen Ningning. Yang Dingtian wasn’t qualified to sell them and was reluctant to sell them too.
Thus, after all the picking and searching, Yang Dingtian was truly unable to find another treasure that had the same value as the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir.
“I will take another look when I return.” Yang Dingtian commented.
Su Mei could hear Yang Dingtian’s unspoken implication. She smiled and asked, “Is this guest still going to auction the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir?”
“Of course.” Yang Dingtian said, “Since I already agreed, I will not take back my words. Do I need to deposit the Beast Soul Elixir with you now?”
“Of course, there is no need to.” Su Mei said, “You just have to hand it over to us tomorrow before the auction.”
Yang Dingtian stood up and said, “That is fine. We shall see each other again tomorrow!”
“See you tomorrow, Mister Shen.” Su Mei then asked, “You are our most distinguished guest and could stay in our most distinguished room with the safest protection. Do you need it?”
Yang Dingtian was tempted, but he still shook his head and said, “There is no need.”
This auction house belonged to the Heaven Dao Union. It was truly too restricted and inconvenient to stay in the Heaven Dao Union’s room.
Afterward, he turned and left.
*********************************************
Yang Dingtian left the auction house and returned to the inn.
He only had 50,000 gold coins now. Thus, he didn’t buy the materials for the cleansing first. Anyway, those items could be bought at any time as long as he had money. Right now, Yang Dingtian was still feeling restless because he was stirred up by that eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art. He wasn’t really in a state that was suitable for the cleansing of marrow and meridians.
Eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art!
Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Mystic Meridians and could totally execute this mystic skill’s power to the extremity. With this mystic skill, Yang Dingtian felt that he would be able to kill a Martial Mystic expert. If he had learned this eighth-grade Devil Flame Saber Art, he wouldn’t have had any difficulty in killing Qin Huaiju, who was impersonating him. He wouldn’t have ended with such severe injuries.
It was truly tempting!
It was a pity that he could see it but couldn’t possess it!
He had enough treasures to contest in the auction, but he couldn’t make use of any of the treasures.
In this world, there was nothing more depressing and confusing than this.
When back at the room, Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but flip through the spatial ring again and see if there was anything he could use in a transaction while saving those items which he and Big Sister Ningning would have the use for.
Yang Dingtian poured his consciousness into the spatial ring and asked, “Master, take a look inside this spatial ring. What else is very valuable but not usable by Big Sister Ningning and me.”
Dongfang Niemie made use of Yang Dingtian’s eyes to rummage through the other items in the spatial ring.
After going through the things a few times, it was still the same case. Those extremely valuable items must not be touched. Those items that could be touched were far less valuable than the potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir.
Even an eighth-grade or even a ninth-grade Holy Spirit Elixir and Mystic Assembly Elixir weren’t worth more than a million. Even though it was a substantial figure, it was still far too lacking to contest for that eighth-grade mystic skill, Devil Flame Saber Art.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian’s eyes landed at the corner of the spatial ring, and in the pile of elixirs, there was a completely transparent elixir. Yang Dingtian had rummaged through the spatial ring a few times and didn’t notice its existence because it looked completely transparent.
Yang Dingtian instantly retrieved this invisible elixir and asked, “Master, what is this elixir? Is it a high grade?”
Dongfang Niemie cried out in surprise, “Transformation Elixir?”
When Yang Dingtian heard his master let out a surprising call, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Master, what grade is this Transformation Elixir? Is it valuable?”
Dongfang Niemie sighed and said, “I am now truly in awe of Ximen Ningning’s talents. She was actually able to refine such a rare elixir like the Transformation Elixir.”
“Is it valuable?” Yang Dingtian quickly asked.
Dongfang Niemie’s voice instantly turned a little strange. “It can be said to be valuable or worthless. But such an elixir is extremely rare and is even rarer than your potential eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir.”
Yang Dingtian was astonished. Since it was so rare, why was it worthless?
Dongfang Niemie continued his explanation, “This Transformation Elixir only has one usage that is to transform into a totally different person after consuming it. It isn’t a temporary transformation but a permanent transformation. Not only would the facial features completely change, but even the height, bone frame, muscles would also go through a complete change. This is nothing, as the terrifying thing is the change in gender after consuming it. In short, after consuming this elixir, no one will be able to recognize the person, no matter how high a person’s cultivation is. This is a completely different thing compared to the Mirage Mask.”
“Ahh…” Yang Dingtian was completely stunned!
It was already astonishing to change the facial features and bone frame, but it could even change the gender? This wasn’t Earth, and there were no transsexual operations. After consuming the Transformation Elixir, one would even be able to change the gender. This was truly terrifying.
It was no wonder the master said that this elixir was even rarer than the eighth-grade Beast Soul Elixir. What kind of talents does Big Sister Ningning have? She was even able to refine such valuable and strange elixirs.
It wasn’t strange that the master would say this item could be priceless or could be worthless.
“Master, after consuming this elixir, would the user become even more handsome or beautiful?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“That might not be the case.” Dongfang Niemie said, “It has a random effect. One might become nicer looking but might become hideous too. One might become taller or might become shorter. In short, nothing is in control.”
“Ahh…” Yang Dingtian was speechless.
How terrifying this Transformation Elixir was unless a person was utterly desperate or a lunatic. Otherwise, no one would be willing to eat this elixir even if someone were to give it for free.
Therefore, even though this elixir might be extremely rare, the price was truly hard to say.
Following after, Yang Dingtian rummaged through several times again and noticed that this Transformation Elixir was the only thing that was considered valuable. Even though it might not be reliable, there was nothing that could be sold.
“Xiao Tian, take this Transformation Elixir to auction off. Everything will be up to the heavens and luck.” Dongfang Niemie stated.
