The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1337 - 1338: Pill Demon’s Successor

This voice did not come from anyone in the hall but from a man and a woman who had just entered. The man was draped in a black robe, his expression sinister, while the woman in red followed behind him.

"Who are they? They directly bought the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace with a single bid, that’s a billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills."

"Even in Dan City, there aren’t many families who can casually take out a billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills."

Everyone’s gaze was directed towards the entrance of the hall, watching as the pair slowly approached.

"Young master, after a thousand years, the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace has finally returned to its rightful owner."

The woman in the red robe said with a faint smile.

"Back then, my master was killed by a strong opponent, and the whereabouts of his belongings were unknown. Today, I finally encounter the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace. With this furnace, my alchemy skills can drastically improve, potentially surpassing my master’s past level."

The man in the black robe smiled.

"What? He’s the Pill Demon’s disciple? And the Pill Demon accepted disciples?"

"The Pill Demon was famous throughout the Wraith Land, so it’s normal for him to have had some disciples. If this Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace returns to the hands of the Pill Demon’s disciple, there might soon be a second Pill Demon."

Even Yang Rong’s expression turned grim. If this Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace was sold to someone else, it would be fine, but the other party was a successor of the Pill Demon. This furnace, known as the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace, was infamous for using martial artists’ bodies to refine pills.

"Lovely lady, here is one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills. I believe the deal can be closed?"

The Pill Demon’s successor took out a Sumeru ring and said indifferently.

"I’m sorry, but I cannot sell you the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace."

Yang Rong said calmly.

"Miss Yang, what do you mean by this?"

The Pill Demon’s successor’s expression changed. "You set the rules yourself: the ceiling price is one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills. Now that I’ve offered that sum, yet you refuse to sell it to me, are you trying to ruin your auction house’s reputation?"

"Not at all. You are the successor of the Pill Demon. I believe everyone here doesn’t want the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace in the hands of the Pill Demon’s successor, correct?"

Yang Rong said.

"Indeed, he must not obtain the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace. If he does, he might become the second Pill Demon."

The surrounding crowd nodded.

"Are you all just scared?"

The Pill Demon’s successor sneered, "You’re afraid that once I have the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace, I will surpass you alchemists. Weak alchemists only weaken others instead of improving their skills. I have offered one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills for the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace; if anyone disagrees, they’re welcome to challenge me in wealth or alchemy skills."

"A bunch of ants, my young master is an alchemist of the Dead Soul Royal Family. He comes to win the alchemist competition and gain the honor, reaching the level of a Pill Saint, becoming the chief alchemist of the Dead Soul Royal Family. By then, your auction house won’t need to exist."

The woman in red spoke venomously.

No one dared to speak; just the mention of the Dead Soul Royal Family was oppressive enough.

"Since no one is answering, and I haven’t violated any auction house rules, I’m taking this pill furnace."

The Pill Demon’s successor smiled triumphantly, reaching for the furnace.

Pa!

At the moment the Pill Demon’s successor reached for the furnace, a fair hand, like a beast’s claw, tightly gripped his hand, preventing him from escaping.

"Miss Yang hasn’t agreed to sell it to you. I, too, am willing to offer one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills for the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace!"

Ye Mo said calmly,

He clearly understood that Yang Rong did not want to sell the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace to the Pill Demon’s successor, and he couldn’t afford it either, so he might as well help Yang Rong, making a good connection. Later, if there were cheaper pill furnaces, Yang Rong would likely sell to him first.

No one expected anyone to dare to compete with the Pill Demon’s successor.

To easily take out one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills, only a genius from the Dan Clan or the three major pill families of Dan City could do so effortlessly.

Crack!

Ye Mo then applied more force, the Pill Demon’s successor’s expression turned ugly. Though a genius in alchemy, he had cultivated for ten thousand years, yet only reached the Divine Venerate Three Souls’ strength.

"How dare you, release my young master!"

The woman in red, with a wave of one hand, sent countless silver needles piercing through layers of space towards Ye Mo.

Startled, Ye Mo caught all the silver needles with his other hand, only to face another wave of needles, forcing him to release his grip to protect others.

"This woman calling the Pill Demon’s successor ’young master’ is even stronger than him."

Ye Mo was slightly shocked.

The woman in red was equally surprised that Ye Mo caught her silver needles.

The Pill Demon’s successor rubbed his sore arm and said, "You must have a death wish to offend me."

At the same time, numerous guards rushed in from outside and secured the scene.

"Pill Demon’s successor, as the seller, I have the right to choose whom I sell the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace to. Since this young master has also offered one billion, I’ve decided to sell it to him."

Yang Rong said calmly.

"Kid, you’re bold, I’ll remember you!"

The Pill Demon’s successor realized causing more trouble wouldn’t change the outcome; Yang Rong clearly didn’t want to sell to him. Ye Mo’s intervention was merely a convenient excuse.

After a threat, he left with the woman in red under everyone’s watchful eyes.

"Young brother, be careful; he’s the Dead Soul Royal Family’s alchemist. He might have their experts come after you."

"Indeed, a ninth-order alchemist has considerable influence."

The crowd expressed their concern for Ye Mo.

Ye Mo shrugged helplessly without saying a word.

"Young master, thank you for stepping in. Be cautious in the future when traveling."

Yang Rong bowed slightly.

The Pill Demon’s reputation was indeed daunting, especially with the evil of refining pills with human bodies. No one wanted the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace to fall into the Pill Demon’s successor’s hands.

"Since I chose to act, I’m not afraid of his retaliation, but I do want to obtain that Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace."

Ye Mo said calmly.

"What? You want to buy the Terrestrial Fiend Pill Furnace?"

Yang Rong exclaimed.

"Yes, that’s one of the reasons I intervened. However, I currently don’t have that many Wheel of Reincarnation pills."

Ye Mo nodded.

Yang Rong frowned slightly, pondering for a moment, then said, "Young master, perhaps we can discuss this in the VIP room."

"Alright!"

Ye Mo nodded, following Yang Rong to a VIP room where only the two of them were present.

"I wonder, Miss Yang, what do you wish to discuss? It can’t be just the price, can it?"

Ye Mo wasn’t naive; he didn’t have the money for the Wheel of Reincarnation pills, and there was no need for a private conversation.

"Your courage and talent truly impressed me. Among those gathered in the hall were many alchemy geniuses, family heads, and even disciples of the three major alchemy families. Any of them could have offered one billion Wheel of Reincarnation pills to help me, yet none dared to, fearing offending the Dead Soul Royal Family."

Yang Rong spoke softly, gazing at Ye Mo with an unusual look.
