Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 365 - 362: Short, Clumsy, and Poor in the Ring!

Just like other auctions, the items initially presented were some jade stones and antiques, with values around the millions, not catching the attention of big players.

Apart from the previously mentioned arrogant rich young man who spent five million on a foreign woman to purchase a pearl cabbage necklace, no one else made a move.

After auctioning over a dozen antiques and jewels in succession, the auction entered the phase for pills and Magic Artifacts.

Hearing about the Magic Artifacts auction, all the big players perked up their spirits, fearing they might miss some treasure. Even the sleepy Curse Master from Human Demon Country seemed injected with energy, becoming extraordinarily spirited.

The person in charge of the Black Forest tapped on the pear wood table and announced with a varying tone, "We now begin the auction of the Spirit Refining Pill crafted by the Dan King of Malaysia, Moke, with three years of effort. This pill not only refines the soul and enhances spiritual power but also has the miraculous effects of extending lifespan and reviving the dead. The starting bid is fifty million, with each increment not less than one million!"

Hearing that this Spirit Refining Pill was the result of three years of painstaking effort by the Dan King of Malaysia, Moke, and that it possessed life-reviving effects, everyone in attendance immediately became excited.

They were either multimillionaires or powerful magnates, not lacking in money.

Moreover, in their eyes, money is extrinsic, whereas life is of utmost importance. Possessing this Spirit Refining Pill in a life-and-death situation meant having an extra life, something immeasurable by money.

"Fifty-one million!"

"Fifty-five million!"

Sixty million!

Effortlessly, the bid increased over 150% to eighty million.

...

"One hundred million!"

The person who called out this time was the very ostentatious rich young man. Dressed in custom-made noble attire, he lounged with his legs crossed while the foreign woman massaged his shoulders, looking quite content.

Some at the auction recognized his background and exclaimed, "Isn’t that Bashar’s son, Ba Kuo? No wonder he can so capriciously bid one hundred million!"

Bashar is one of the three major warlords in the black forest, notoriously lustful with thirty-nine wives and scores of sons and daughters, so many that even he himself cannot recognize all of them.

Earlier, Barang, who tried to extort money on the road, was also his son. However, Barang’s mother was just a slightly pretty barmaid, an accidental product of Bashar’s drunkenness. Aside from having the protection of his father, the great warlord Bashar, he gained no substantial benefits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be reduced to road extortion.

Ba Kuo was different; his mother was Bashar’s principal wife and the daughter of a major tribe chief in the black forest. Thus, from the age of three, he was designated as the next heir and deeply favored by Bashar.

Just as Ba Kuo was determined to win, an old man in a white robe suddenly shouted, "One hundred and fifty million!"

Ba Kuo was alarmed, turning to see who dared to compete with him.

At that moment, the white-robed elder was also staring over with shadowy eyes.

Instinctively, Ba Kuo shivered and quickly averted his gaze, signaling his two black bodyguards to gather information about the elder.

The black bodyguards glanced at the elder, then whispered in Ba Kuo’s ear, "Young Master, that man seems to be the Great Cursing Master Musen from the Human Demon Country. He specializes in Curse Gu Technique, capable of killing people invisibly!"

Hearing that the opponent was a Curse Master capable of killing invisibly, Ba Kuo shivered instinctively and decided to give up competing for the Spirit Refining Pill.

Even a domineering local bully like Ba Kuo didn’t dare to compete with a Curse Master, and nobody else wanted to provoke that kind of trouble.

After all, characters like Curse Masters, similar to Miao Territory Wizards, can place a curse silently, truly killing without a trace. If someone isn’t powerful enough, to offend them recklessly is like a mouse licking a cat’s behind, purely seeking thrill!

Seeing no one else bidding, the auctioneer struck the gavel, declaring the Spirit Refining Pill sold to the Curse Master.

"Young Master, does the Spirit Refining Pill really bring the dead back to life?" Mei Ruohua asked in a low voice.

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "A genuine Spirit Refining Pill can, but this one cannot!"

Mei Ruohua was surprised and asked, "Do you mean, this one is fake?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "It’s not that, it’s just that the alchemist’s skills are too poor, and the pill was not successfully refined. At best, this is only a half-finished product, with only one-tenth of the intended effect!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Curse Master Musen, with his dark eyes, already looked over.

Then, in a hoarse voice, he asked, "Young man, what exactly do you mean by saying this? Are you questioning the skill of the Dan King of Malaysia?"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "NO, NO, NO, I am not questioning the skills of that so-called Dan King of Malaysia, but outright denying it!"

With these words, shock reverberated throughout the hall.

"Who is this person, daring to challenge Great Curse Master Musen and even deny the alchemy abilities of Dan King Moke from Malaysia, has he tired of living?"

"I don’t know, he seems to be Chinese, perhaps from some aristocratic family in Huaxia?"

"Ah, the people from Hua Country are really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. This is the black forest, not their own territory. Here, even dragons must coil, and tigers must crouch!"

...

Musen glanced at Li Chen, noticing that there was no True Yuan fluctuation within him. He was at most an Inner Strength Martial Artist. However, when his gaze shifted to Mei Ruohua, his gaunt cheeks immediately turned solemn.

A Grandmaster?

Grandmasters are rare like dragons, and a female Grandmaster even more so.

To have a beautiful Grandmaster as a personal bodyguard, it seems this young man has quite the background.

Musen thought for a moment, then gestured with a clasped hand towards Li Chen, asking, "May I know where this young brother hails from?"

Li Chen replied coldly with a smile, "Why? You want to check my background?"

Seeing Li Chen so arrogant, the three subordinates of Musen immediately slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Boy, do you know who you’re talking to?"

As they furiously hit the table, Mei Ruohua was equally unyielding. Her long sword was already drawn half a foot, exuding an aggressive cold light.

Just as the situation was on the verge of exploding, the person in charge of the auction house forcefully coughed twice: "Ahem, gentlemen, this is the Black Forest Auction House, no fighting is allowed. If you have any personal grievances, please resolve them outside after the auction!"

Musen glared at his subordinates, signaling them to sit down.

Li Chen also gestured to Mei Ruohua to sheathe her sword.

After this slight disturbance, the auction resumed normally.

The next item up for auction was an ugly-looking Black Stone Ring. If judged solely on appearance, it would definitely be considered the ’ugly duckling’ of the ring world.

Yet this small object immediately attracted the attention of many heavy hitters in the room including Li Chen, Curse Masters, and Martial Masters upon its appearance. freeweɓnøvel.com

Li Chen’s pupils slightly contracted as he exclaimed in a low voice, "Is that a storage ring?"
