Chapter 2281-The Humiliation that Happened a Hundred years ago
Ancient Dragon City could be considered as the biggest city in the entire Linhe Boundary. The city was around a hundred thousand miles large with hundreds and thousands of cultivators. It’s said that the lord of the city was a Divine King expert who managed to suppress all the surrounding barbarians and monsters. There was no one who would dare to make any trouble within the city. If there was really any trouble, it would be solved in the arena.
The cultivators here were from across the entire Linhe Boundary. The city’s prosperity was higher than any other place. True God experts were ubiquitous and Heavenly God experts were not rare at all. The opening of Hidden Secret Realm definitely would attract countless experts because what they could bring out of that place would definitely cause chaos among the public.
“It’s hectic here.”
Jiang Chen looked around the city and it looked the same with the Immortal World. However, the people here obviously were much stronger, none of them weak. There were a lot of vendors and potters around. The prosperity of Ancient Dragon City was built up by hundreds and thousands of people here.
“This is the Eastern Suburb of Ancient Dragon City. Three days later, we are going to enter the Hidden Secret Realm through here. Before that, we have to go to the Sect Alliance of Linhe Boundary. There would be hundreds of sect alliances. We have to get our name plate there to enter the Hidden Secret Realm,” Xuan Qingming said.
“During this period of time, no one should make any trouble. If you really offend any great figure here, I am afraid that the Sect Lord could not help you at all. I hope that we don’t make any mistakes in this journey of entering the Hidden Secret Realm.”
“Yo, isn’t this the lord of Profound Feng Sect. It’s so early for you to be here. From what I remember a hundred year ago, your Profound Feng Sect was annihilated and no one came out from the Hidden Secret Realm. But you’re sending people in again? Hehe.”
A strange cold voice appeared next to Xuan Qingming. In front of the Sect Alliance, many experts were gathered around and all of them were the outstanding disciples from their own sects.
“Li Shuangqiang, I never expect that your mouth is still so stinky. Didn’t Giant Hawk Sect also get annihilated except for one person that time? What are you so proud of? Do you really think that I would be afraid of you?” Xuan Qingming said with a deep voice.
Jiang Chen and others were stunned for a moment because they never know about a story like this. A hundred years ago, Profound Feng Sect was annihilated and no one walked out from the Hidden Secret Realm alive. This indicated how terrifying the Hidden Secret Realm was. The person who was able to walk out alive must be a true expert.
“Having a survivor is not bad. Right now, Lin Feng has already become an Heavenly God elder in my sect. Haha.”
Li Shuangqiang said proudly as it was still better than the Profound Feng Sect that was completely wiped out.
“I hope that you can still remain so calm in the end. I also hope that you won’t suffer annihilation this time,” Xuan Qingming said coldly.
“Of course I won’t as you wished. This time my Giant Hawk Sect has produced many geniuses. Xuan Qingming, let’s see.”
Li Shuangqiang brought fifteen disciples and walked into the Sect Alliance with an overbearing prestige.
Bai Yunfei snorted coldy and said, “This man is really irritating.”
Wang Chongyang shrugged and added, “Yes. I hope that we won’t suffer annihilation this time
“Definitely not. We have Jiang Chen here, he definitely can sweep away all the obstacles.” Bai Yunfei waved his hand and said.
“Senior Bai, if you don’t talk, no one will treat you as a mute.”
Jiang Chen glanced at Bai Yunfei.
Wang Chongyang was also grateful for Jiang Chen’s kindness but he was also very competitive. That was why he saw Jiang Chen as his strongest opponent.
At the moment, no one dared to say too much because Xuan Qingming’s face looked extremely serious. What Li Shuangqiang said just now made him feel very uncomfortable. The experience a hundred years ago had indeed humiliated him. Because of that, the number of people who are allowed to enter Hidden Secret Realm was now reduced by two. Even a sect like Giant Hawk Sect had fifteen quotas.
“It has been a long time, Qingming. Haha.”
“Thanks for greeting, Second Elder.”
He smiled and said. Xuan Qingming gave a slight bow to the middle-aged man who was walking in the hall.
“Just relax. Will Profound Feng Sect surprise us this time after a hundred years later? Haha.”
Ren Yuanzi said with a smile. He was the Second Elder of the Heavenly Star Sect and his battle strength was unpredictable. Compared to Xuan Qingming, he was at a realm higher.
“We’re ashamed. Hope that we can get a good ranking and not be like last time. If this time we suffer again… Sigh.”
Xuan Qingming shook his head and heaved a sigh.
“Don’t think about it, this time we have the strength of four different sects. There won’t be any problem. Liu Quanchao, meet the Lord of Profound Sect.”
“Greetings, Lord of Profound Sect.”
A young man who had curly hair bowed down lightly.
“This is the number-one disciple of my sect. His cultivation realm has reached the peak of Late True God. He might be even one of the best genius disciples in the entire Linhe Boundary.”
When Ren Yuanzi looked at Liu Quanchao, he was filled with the colour of pride. Although Xuan Qingming knew that Ren Yuanzi was not someone who loved showing off, he still felt a bit uncomfortable when knowing about such an excellent disciple. Even though Profound Feng Sect and Heavenly Star Sect were brother-sects, their strength and competence were at very different levels.
“I am Liu Quanchao. This time I will definitely not disappoint our brothers and I will make sure all of the brothers are safe.”
Liu Quanchao’s words were full of confidence. Jiang Chen and others nodded their heads lightly. This man was really formidable and even Jiang Chen shivered for a bit. The ten major sects in the Linhe Boundary were really full of outstanding experts. Although Xuan Qingming was very strong, Ren Yuanzi, a Second Elder, was even more superior than him. Now they realised that the experts on the outside world were so astonishing. Behind Liu Quanchao, there were twenty four disciples at least at the Mid True God Realm following him. In terms of strength, they were all comparable with Pan Hong, the number-one disciple of Profound Feng Sect.
Among the twenty five disciples, there was one young lady who was wearing purple clothes. Her face looked elegant but cold. She had attracted everyone’s attention, but she remained uninterested. Even Yang Jian and Bai Yunfei could not help looking at that purple-clothed lady with affection.
“I am really envious of Heavenly Star Sect as it’s full of genius and experts. Hehe.” Xuan Qingming said.
“I, Old Ancestor Di Long, is here. Haha.”
The Great Elder of the Earthly Hades Sect, Old Ancestor Di Long walked in with bright laughter. There were eighteen disciples following him and each of them looked very formidable. They were not as strong as the disciples of Heavenly Star Sect, but they were still extremely outstanding. The first disciple who took the lead obviously was also an expert of Late True God Realm. The weakest disciple was an Early True God.
“You always swagger,” Ren Yunzi said faintly.

Chapter 2282-Divine Pill Sect
“Don’t find me annoying, Ren Yuanzi. Last time, we held our position to speak by showing our competence. When would be the turn for our Earthly Hades Sect to be the leader in this sect alliance? Hahaha.”
The old ancestor of Earthly Hades Sect said while laughing in a cunning way, but he did not seem hostile to the Profound Feng Sect.
Xuan Qingming smiled and said, “Brother of Earthly Hades Sect, how are you doing?”
“I am doing well. Why hasn’t Mu Tianen been here yet? Will the Yellow Flame Sect going to disband soon? Haha.”
As soon as Old Ancestor Di Long finished his words, a thin middle-aged man who was in a yellow robe walked towards them slowly. Thirteen young man followed behind him. The disciple who took the lead was the Jiang Hao who had encountered Jiang Chen before. Unexpectedly, they met each other again here.
“You, this old man, do you really wish that I am absent?” Mu Tianen smiled coldly and said.
Jiang Hao and Jiang Chen exchanged a glance while having the urge to fight. Although Jiang Chen had defeated Jiang Hao in terms of alchemy, Jiang Hao was not afraid of Jiang Chen at all in terms of strength.
Mu Tianen looked at the disciples behind Xuan Qingming and asked, “Who is Jiang Chen?”
“Old Mu, are you ignoring my existence?”
Xuan Qingming smiled coldly.
Mu Tianen replied calmly, “I just want to know who managed to concoct the Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill.”
At this moment, no matter if it was Old Ancestor Di Long or Ren Yuanzi, they all opened their eyes wide and became solemn. They had heard of the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. No ordinary alchemist would be able to make a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. Even the master of the alchemists might not be confident in concocting this grade of medicinal pill. More importantly, Jiang Chen concocted the pill with the herbs that Jiang Hao threw away. Mu Tianen found it really unbelievable after hearing this from Jiang Hao.
“You said that someone from their sect is able to concoct a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill?” Old Ancestor Di Long asked with his shocked face.
“That’s right. Xuan Qingming knows this the best,” replied Mu Tianen.
“I am Jiang Chen. I was just lucky. It is not easy to concoct the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. I don’t think I can make it again.”
Jiang Chen smiled with humility. Under the gaze of Old Ancestor Di Long, Mu Tianen and many other disciples’ curiosity, Jiang Chen remained calm and relaxed. However, not many of them actually cared about Jiang Chen because his cultivation realm of Late Void God Realm was indeed too weak. They could simply kill him without much effort.
“Where’s the pill? Where’s it right now? I am willing to buy it from you. Give me a price, young man,” Old Ancestor Di Long said in a serious manner.
The potency of a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was so good that even well-known outstanding alchemists of the Earthly Hades Sect and the Heavenly Star Sect would not have the confidence to make it. It might not be that difficult for them to concoct a High Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill but it wouldn’t be very useful for the Heavenly God experts like Old Ancestor Di Long.
“*Cough* *Cough* ”Xuan Qingming cleared his throat and said, “I have eaten it.”
“You… Sigh. Nevermind. Why are you so greedy…”
Old Ancestor Di Long felt very regretful. Why wasn’t Jiang Chen a disciple of his sect? Jiang Chen was still very young but he managed to concoct a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. It’s really astonishing. No wonder his cultivation realm was so low, it must be because he had spent all of his effort on concocting medicinal pills.
Jiang Chen became a popular guy in the four major sects right now but it was still very embarrassing because his cultivation realm was indeed not that glamorous.
Old Ancestor Di Long then said with some hope, “If you still have the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill, please keep one for me.”
“I really don’t have it anymore. Sorry, old ancestor.”
Jiang Chen smiled while feeling sorry.
“Hahaha. Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill? This young kid is able to concoct the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill, really? It’s interesting. It is the first time I, Jiang Chenzi, have heard of this. You haven’t even reached the True God Realm, but you’ve dared to say so. If you still have any Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill, I would want it all.”
A bearded man said and laughed coldly while showing disdain to Jiang Chen.
Ren Yuanzi said coldly, “Why are you here, you are people of the Divine Pill Sect.”
“Hahaha, I just want to let you know that you are too naive. Even the genius alchemist in our Divine Pill Sect only managed to produce a Low Grade
Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill once. Do you really think that it’s so easy to concoct a pill like this? Haha. A young kid managed to cheat you all. If you really have this talent, we wouldn’t hesitate to keep you as our disciple.”
Jiang Chenzi looked cold and he kept sneering.
“Who do you think you are? What kind of place is your Divine Pill Sect? Who wants to go there?
Jiang Chen said proudly, making everyone hold their breath because they thought that Jiang Chen was too ignorant to say something like that. Many people of the outer sect started surrounding them. What kind of place is the Divine Pill Sect? It was the number-three sect in the entire Linhe Boundary. Not to say the number of the expers, almost half of their disciples knew how to concoct medicinal pills. It was the place considered as the heaven of concocting medicinal pills and Immortal Grade Alchemists were there.
An alchemist would be considered as Supreme Grade Alchemist if his success rate was above fifty percent. So did an Immortal Grade Alchemist.
Being a High Grade Alchemist was not difficult. But, he would still need supreme talent. In the entire Divine Pill Sect, there were more than thousands of High Grade Alchemists, whereas, Profound Feng Sect only had Lin Zhongqiang and Gu Wanfeng. Lin Zhongqing could only concoct high grade medicinal pills. The success rate for him to concoct a supreme grade pill was lower than ten percent.
There were around thirty Supreme Grade Alchemists in the Divine Pill Sect, but the Sect Lord and the Great Elder had the skills that could be considered the true Immortal Grade Alchemist. Being the Seventh Elder in the Divine Pill Sect, Jiang Chengzi only reached the level of Supreme Grade Alchemist. However, he could not concoct all kinds of pills at a fifty percent success rate. For example, he could not make the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill at this success rate. The level of difficulty of concocting the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill could be considered as one of the highest of the supreme grade medicinal pills.
In other words, it meant that even Jiang Chengzi was not sure that he could concoct a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. That was why he felt that Jiang Chen was just bragging and cheating. If there was a supreme genius like him, then it’s only reasonable that Divine Pill Sect should keep him as a disciple. Meanwhile, there were many people who wanted to enter Divine Pill Sect in the entire Linhe Boundary.
It’s okay that you don’t know about other sects but you must know about an extraordinary existence like the Divine Pill Sect. Even the number-one Clear Stream Sect and the Ghost Eye Sect would not want to offend Divine Pill Sect.
“Who is he? Such an arrogant man. If I had the chance to enter the Divine Pill Sect, I would put my utmost effort to enter it.”
“That’s right. He’s too haughty. However, it doesn’t seem like he is unwilling to enter. I guess it’s because his cultivation realm is too low. Haha.”
“There are always people who love to curry favours with the public. Hehe. Seems like the people of Divine Pill Sect are here as well. We’re going to have a good show today.”

Chapter 2283-Divine tool as a Stake
More and more people gathered around Jiang Chen. The front of the Sect Alliance became crowded . Since the Divine Pill, Heaven, Earthly, Profound and Yellow Flame sects were all here, everyone was interested in finding out what was going on.
A white-clothed man came forward and said coldly, “Such an arrogant attitude. Who do you think you are to humiliate my Divine Pill Sect? You’re shameless.”
“I do not despise your sect, but your sect is really worthless as it can’t even produce a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. How come do you still dare to brag here?” Jiang Chen replied coldly.
Ren Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Di Long, Xuan Qingming and others were all stunned for a while because what Jiang Chen said had really offended the entire Divine Pill Sect but he seemed to not really care at all.
“Are you really able to make it?”
The white-clothed man shouted in a deep voice.
Jiang Chen laughed out loud and said, “I guess you are out of your mind. If I can’t make it, why would I tell you all of these?”
“Alright. What a sharp-mouthed boy. How about we have a contest now? Whoever loses will be the little puppy,” Li Yanchao was angry and challenged Jiang Chen.
“You are childish, aren’t you? If you want to have a contest, how about we show our true colours and do our best? If so, then we should do something really exciting, right?”
Jiang Chen’s words amused everyone because it was right that they were not kids anymore who just called another one a puppy if one of them lost. They were all adults who should act like adults.
Jiang Chenzi stood out at this moment and gave Li Yanchao a glance. He was the number-three genius disciple in the entire Divine Pill Sect. His strength has already reached the Late True God Realm and his skill in alchemy was also mystically terrifying. He was not less formidable than any top disciples of the ten major sects in the Linhe Boundary.
Jiang Chengzi asked purposely, “Are you confident? Li Yanchao.”
“Without any difficulty.”
“Alright, then you will take over this matter.”
Jiang Chengzi was full of confidence because he knew that it was just a piece of cake for Li Yanchao to defeat Jiang Chen. Li Yanchao would let everyone know the formidability of Divine Pill Sect.
Ren Yuanzi and Xuan Qingming exchanged a glance while others were quite speechless. Xuan Qingming actually did not know whether Jiang Chen was confident in this contest at all. In fact, Jiang Chen was too reckless for not realizing that the opponents were from Divine Pill Sect, instead of Yellow Flame Sect’s Jiang Hao. The gap between them was not small at all, in terms of strength.
“He is indeed reckless, but his courage is admirable. If he could really concoct a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill, the Divine Pill Sect will definitely be humiliated and lose all of their dignity. Then they won’t be so arrogant in the future. Because of their skill in alchemy, the people of Divine Pill Sect have always looked down upon others and made everyone pay respect to them. I have been sick of this attitude of theirs since a long time ago.”
Ren Yuanzi smiled faintly. Although Jiang Chen was not a disciple of his Heaven Star Sect, he actually had a positive impression on this guy.
“So daring to say something like this that despises the Divine Pill Sect. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like him in over hundreds of years. Hahaha. It’s blunt! But I like it. If he can concoct a Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill that suits me, that would be the best. Haha.”
Old Ancestor Di Long squinted his eyes while also very curious about the result.
“If he can really defeat the people of Divine Pill Sect, then I won’t be that angry anymore.”
Mu Tianen smiled and then glanced at Jiang Hao.
“What do you think? Do you think he can win?”
“Not sure. I guess he has a fifty-fifty chance. Jiang Chen is not from Divine Pill Sect, but his skill in alchemy is also mystically terrifying. At least, I am not a match for him. I am much inferior.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head. Although being the outstanding alchemist of Yellow Flame Sect, he was actually unable to defeat Jiang Chen in any way at all. However, Jiang Hao did not feel shameful at all because there’s nothing bad about losing. What was the worst was that you did not admit your limitation when you have already lost.
If Jiang Chen could defeat the people from Divine Pill Sect, then both Mu Tianen or Xuan Qingming would be extremely happy. Everyone knew how strong the Divine Pill Sect was. Of course they would not bully anyone with violence at this moment, but they would leave a heavy blow on them using their skill in alchemy. Winning over others without using violence was even more overbearing.
Li Yanchao’s strength and skill were extremely powerful, otherwise, Jiang Chengzi would not be so relaxed right now.
“Someone is really ignorant as he dares to challenge the Divine Pill Sect. In the entire Linhe Boundary, perhaps no one can defeat them in terms of alchemy. Their status is unshakable. Doesn’t he know about this?”
“That’s right. He’s really that ignorant. So we can’t help him as well.”
“I’m speechless. This man is definitely crazy and stupid. Challenging the Divine Pill Sect’s skill in alchemy is nothing different from jumping into a trap.”
“Let’s see.”
Jiang Chen had become the focus of attention at this moment, but nobody thought that he could defeat Li Yanchao. One should know that Li Yanchao was well-known for his skill in alchemy which was comparable to some of the elders in the Divine Pill Sect. That was why Jiang Chengzi was extremely confident in him.
“Tell me what is at stake?”
Li Yanchao looked at Jiang Chen.
“My stake is a piece of Divine Tool.”
As soon as Jiang Chen finished his words, he took out a piece of Divine Tool. At this moment, everyone took a cold breath and Xuan Qingming was even stunned. Wasn’t this guy being too luxurious? It was very unexpected that he had a Divine Tool. Was that given by Ling Yun? This guy has so many secrets.
“He came out with a Divine Tool. Your disciple really surprised us, Qingming.”
Ren Yunzi smiled. Being the Second Elder of the Heaven Star Sect, he was not envious of Jiang Chen’s Divine Tool. However, he was quite shocked by the formidableness of the Divine Tool. It was very attractive to Heavenly God experts.
“Good guy. You’re quite interesting. I guess his personality had dumbfounded the people here. In a flash, he took out a piece of Divine Tool. Such an overbearing, imposing personality. Hahaha.”
Old Ancestor Di Long nodded.
The Divine Tool in Jiang Chen’s hand was some weapon that he had refined in the past during his leisure time. Its quality hasn’t even reached the supreme grade but it truly is a piece of Divine Tool. Hence, it was still quite attractive to Heavenly God experts. Of course, it was even startling to those True Void experts.
No one dared to underestimate Jiang Chen anymore as he was too overbearing by taking out a Divine Tool as his stake.
“Alright! Tell me what do you want?”
Li Yanchao’s eyes shone while staring at Jiang Chen’s Divine Tool.
“The formula to cure an injury of a Divine Soul. It must be a formula that is suitable to cure an expert at the Heavenly God Realm and above,” answered Jiang Chen faintly.
He did have some normal medicinal pill formulas but they were not useful to Ling Yun’s injury. Soul Stabilising Pill wasn’t that effective to her anymore.
“That’s all?”
Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a while. Although the formula for curing an injury of a Divine Soul was valuable, it was not as valuable as the Divine Tool.

Chapter 2284-I'm Going to Take Over the Beast Fire
Li Yanchao looked at Jiang Chengzi and said, “Seventh Elder, I….”
“I have it here. Don’t worry. If you win, I will give you the formula. Everyone here can be our witness. If you lose, then the Divine Tool will be mine.”
Li Yanchao was stunned for a while and he was unable to say any words.
“Don’t worry. I won’t take the Divine Tool, it’s for you.”
Jiang Chengzi said faintly which consequently thrilled Li Yanchao because the Seventh Elder did not cling to the Divine Tool and would give it to him.
Jiang Chen smiled and very confidently said, “Don’t celebrate too early. The Divine Tool might not be yours.”
He was going to concoct the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill again. This time, he might be able to concoct three pieces of the pill. If he managed to do so, he would give the pills to the three masters of the Heavenly Star Sect, Earthly Hades Sect and Yellow Flame Sect. Consequently, in the future, Profound Feng Sect would definitely be able to build a good relationship with them. Jiang Chen had already expected this.
Bai Yunfei laughed and said, “Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen is still so overbearing. It’s great that you’re a disciple of Profound Feng Sect. Haha.”
Man Shuai smiled and added, “You’re so monstrous. Even though others might not trust you, I still believe in you.”
He was not worried about Jiang Chen at all. Although he was also quite haughty, he actually admired Jiang Chen very much.
“You must not be defeated, otherwise, I don’t know how many people out there are waiting to see you as a joke.”
Wang Chongyang also smiled. He knew that Jiang Chen would not lose.
As long as Jiang Chen had the confidence to win, he would not risk himself. He was extremely relaxed now and this showed that he was extremely confident in his skill.
“Let’s see. I am going to let you know what is a true Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill.”
Li yanchao smiled and said, his words were filled with pride and provocation. Being the number-three genius disciple in his sect, it was reasonable for him to have such pride. Although he had not succeeded in concocting a supreme grade medicinal pill every single time, his success rate was still quite high. He had attempted to concoct the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill before as well and he was successful a few times. However, the best grade he had produced was only a high grade. It was still one step away from the supreme grade. One should know that it was much more difficult to concoct the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill than any other ordinary medicinal pill.
However, that happened three years ago. Right now, Li Yanchao is even more skillful than before, hence he was not afraid of Jiang Chen.
Not to be outdone, Li Yanchao took out his trump card immediately. It was the Beast Fire of the Fire Cloud Leopard, and it was quite a terrifying Beast Fire. It was not weaker than Jiang Hao’s Fire Dragon Bear Beast Fire.
“It’s obvious that his Beast Fire is extraordinary. Seems like Li Yanchao is going to win.”
“Don’t jump into conclusion so early. It’s still too early to judge.”
“I can’t wait anymore. Haha. Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. Hehehe. What if I can have a piece of that pill.”
“If one sold a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill at the auction market, I guess it would at least cost more than one thousand high-grade Divine Origin Stones. Even if one has countless Divine Origin Stones, he might not be able to buy any at the market.
Jiang Chen was calm and he gave Jiang Hao a glance.
“Brother Jiang, do you still have the herbs for concocting the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Hao did not hesitate at all. In front of so many people, Jiang Chen asked him for the ingredient of the pill. This had actually helped him gain the chance of showing off himself. Moreover, he actually did not hate Jiang Chen at all. Jiang Chen defeating him only proved that Jiang Chen was indeed skillful and strong. If Jiang Chen managed to defeat Li Yanchao, that meant he was not that bad to be defeated by Jiang Chen as Li Yanchao was one of the most skillful alchemists in the Divine Pill Sect.
Jiang Chen did not care about Li Yanchao’s Beast Fire at all. He took out his Divine Tool as the stake and decided to have an intense contest with Li Yanchao. Almost everyone was startled by Jiang Chen’s attitude. When he took out the Divine Tool, no one was suspicious of him anymore. Even if Jiang Chen lost the contest, no one would blame him as well. No one really cared about the result anymore because Jiang Chen was so overbearing by showing the Divine Tool. The people around only pursued the astonishment and exciting feeling on the spot.
Jiang Hao gave Jiang Chen the herbs required for concocting the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill.
“Does this guy really have the capability?”
Liu Yanchao could not help but become interested in Jiang Chen’s background. Although he was only a Late Void God, he had the courage that even Late True God experts might not have. The one he was challenging was the Divine Pill Sect which was one of the strongest in the Linhe Boundary.
The people of Heaven, Earthly, Profound or Yellow Sect, including Ren Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Di Long or even Mu Tianen, hoped that Jiang Chen could gain victory. But whether he could win or not, that depended on his own capability. Right now, there were people from more than ten different sects gathering around and watching the show.
To both the Profound Feng Sect and Divine Pill Sect, this was a contest that none of them would like to lose. How was the Divine Pill Sect going to exist with dignity if they lost? Moreover, nobody expected that Divine Pill Sect would lose to a disciple of an unpopular low grade sect.
Jiang Chen was looking at how Li Yanchao gradually refined the pill. Li Yanchao’s technique looked quite skillful and he seemed like a good alchemist. However, he was only at this level. No matter how skillful he was, Jiang Chen was still very confident in defeating him.
One should know that the ingredients Jiang Chen used last time was the worst herbal waste. Nevertheless, he was still able to produce a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. This time, he was going to use the best ingredients.
When Li Yanchao almost finished concocting his pill, only then did Jiang Chen begin.
“I really want to see how you are going to win over us, the Divine Pill Sect.”
Jiang Chengzi disdained everyone there. After all, in the entire Linhe Boundary, it was impossible to find an alchemist who was more skillful than the people of the Divine Pill Sect.
As soon as Jiang Chen casted his Beast Fire, everyone, including Jiang Chengzi, was stunned. Jiang Chen’s Beast Fire was very powerful. He could even sense that the Beast Fire had created a great pressure that suppressed Li Yanchao’s Beast Fire. The Beast Fire of the Fire Cloud Leopard was one of the most outstanding Beast Fires amongst all but it was still unable to overcome Jiang Chen’s Beast Fire, unexpectedly.
“What kind of Beast Fire is that?”
Jiang Chengzi and Li Yanchao doubted in their hearts. They had no idea at all what kind of Beast Fire it was.
There was a thin gray-robed young man standing behind Jiang Chengzi. He shivered for a while then stared at the Qilin Saint Fire in Jiang Chen’s hand without blinking his eyes. He nodded his head silently and murmured in a hoarse voice: “I’m going to take over his Beast Fire, surely.”

Chapter 2285-Where is my Formula
Jiang Chengzi’s heart shivered for a moment. The man behind was a Supreme Grade Alchemist whom he could never surpass. He was the strongest alchemist in the entire Divine Pill Sect and only the Second Elder and the Sect Master were more powerful than him.
“Are you sure that his Beast Fire is the Qilin Saint Fire?”
The thin man nodded while closing his eyes.
Jiang Chengzi squinted his eyes after his interest in the Beast Fire was sparked. Although he could not do anything much right now, they could do whatever they wanted once they entered the Hidden Secret Realm. By then, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have any way to hide himself. It would be just a piece of cake for them to eliminate him as well, wouldn’t it? A Late Void God came here to enter the Hidden Secret Realm. Jiang Chengzi was actually unsatisfied that these quotas were given to the low grade sects like them.
Jiang Chen’s concocting process became even faster this time and his technique was also more accurate compared to the time when he competed with Jiang Hao. The essence he extracted from the herbs were also of the best quality in this competition. The combination of more than ten kinds of herbs was going through an intense concocting process. At the moment, Li Yanchao had already finished his last step and the pill was finished!
“Supreme Grade, it must be a Supreme Grade.”
Li Yanchao murmured in his heart. When he opened his furnace, his eyes shone brightly as he was really surprised. His pill could almost be considered as a supreme grade, but it was definitely a High Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. Nevertheless, it was of higher quality compared to an average High Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill.
“I have succeeded! I have succeeded. Hahaha. A Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill!”
Li Yanchao was filled with excitement while everyone on the spot applauded. It was a Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. Right now Li Yanchao was really proud of himself as all the people from the different sects had witnessed his success. There might not even be more than five Supreme Grade Alchemists and geniuses like him in the ten major sects. However, the Divine Pill Sect already had a disciple whose level had reached the realm of a Supreme Grade Alchemist. It’s of course astonishing, isn’t it? At the same time, many sects were really jealous of Divine Pill Sect’s achievement.
“Divine Pill Sect is really well-known for their skill in alchemy.”
“Yes, they are. Li Yanchao is really more superior. A Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill is a medicinal pill that even a Heavenly God would crave for.”
“Hahaha. I have said that an expert will speak with his ability. Profound Feng Sect only does what they could to curry public favours, how daring are they to challenge Divine Pill Sect? They overestimate themselves. Haha.”
Right now, some people had started to flatter the Divine Pill Sect and applauded for them. Supreme Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was the most a disciple alchemist could do. Jiang Chen was only a new disciple, so how would he be able to concoct a Immortal Grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill? Even if he could make it, perhaps his body burst because no one who was under the Heavenly God Realm could control the excessive energy from an immortal grade pill.
Li Yanchao and Jiang Chengzi were thrilled because the Divine Tool would definitely fall into their hands. Jiang Chen would not have any chance of winning for sure.
However, Jiang Chen did not stop concocting. Three minutes after Li Yanchao finished concocting, Jiang Chen also finished making the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill. He managed to come out three pieces of the pill and each of them were glittering and filled with intense fragrance. The strong fragrance of the pill made everyone feel refreshed.
The gray-robbed young man could not help shaking his head.
At that moment, Li Yanchao and Jiang Chengzi suddenly became serious. Everyone who was looking at this scene could not really identify whose pills were truly of the Supreme Grade.
“This……”
Jiang Chengzi murmured while squinting his eyes, and his pupil shrunk because the intense fragrance had attracted him.
Jiang Chen then said calmly, “You can have a look to see whose Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill is more superior.”
In a flash, Jiang Chengzi got the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill from Jiang Chen’s hand and smelled the pill. Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was also of supreme grade, but it was extremely close to immortal grade. It was at the peak of Supreme Grade! A Divine King expert would be willing to pay a high price to buy a pill like this.
Li Yanchao looked at the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill in Jiang Chengzi’s hand. He was unwilling to believe and did not want to believe, but the fact was his Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was uncomparable to Jiang Chen’s pill.
“I am looking forward to you telling me the facts. How’s my Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill?”
Jiang Chen’s words were like a hammer smashing on Li Yanchao’s heart heavily because Jiang Chengzi knew that Li Yanchao had been defeated. Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill had surpassed Li Yanchao’s.
“You won.”
Jiang Chengzi’s voice was very soft, nevertheless, everyone around had heard it clearly. The words came from the Divine Pill Sect elder, Jiang Chengzi’s mouth. This showed that Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was indeed more superior than Li Yanchao’s pill.
Ren Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Di Long and others were also stunned for a while and their eyes were filled with astonishment. It was something really worth celebrating and exciting to have Jiang Chen in the Profound Feng Sect. Xuan Qingming was also very excited while looking incredibly confident. Everyone’s gaze fell on Jiang Chen.
Following Jiang Chengzi’s words, there was an uproar in the crowd.
No one could believe the fact. However, even Jiang Chengzi had declared it, so why would it be false?
Li Yanchao was traumatized and his countenance fell. He never expected that he would be defeated and by a Late Void God nonetheless. It was unbelievable. How would his concocting skill surpass him? It was ridiculous.
“I don’t believe it!”
Li Yanchao said with gritting his teeth, however, Jiang Chengzi’s eyesight zeroed-in on him.
“You have brought enough humiliation to us,” Jiang Chengzi said coldly.
Finally Li Yanchao gave up being impulsive. He thought that he would surely win the competition but now the battle had become Jiang Chen’s show. At the moment, Jiang Chen had already become popular among the different sects in the Linhe Boundary. Although Jiang Chen’s strength was not that powerful, his skill in alchemy was so astonishing that he was even capable of embarrassing the people of Divine Pill Sect. Right now, it was impossible for the Divine Pill Sect to send out anyone to compete with Jiang Chen anymore. The contest ended with Jiang Chen’s victory.
“Where’s my formula? Senior.”
Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Chengzi with a smile on his face.
“Humph! Don’t be happy so early.”
Jiang Chengzi gave a roll of scroll to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen finally felt relieved as Jiang Chengzi did not go against his own words and cheated. Of course, Jiang Chengzi would not dare to cheat in front of so many people.
Soul Raising Pill was more superior than the Soul Stabilising Pill, although it was not really a supreme medicinal pill. However, the formula of this pill was rare. Jiang Chen slightly heaved a sigh of relief as he did not waste any effort here and he managed to get the formula for Ling Yun.
“Let us see what’s going to happen in the future.”
Li Yanchao gave Jiang Chen a cold glance, then turned away and left along with the people of Divine Pill Sect.

Chapter 2286-An Originally Innocent Gentleman Became Guilty Because of the Item He Possessed
At this moment, everyone was so shocked their jaws dropped to the floor) because Jiang Chen gave away three peak supreme grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill to others.
“Senior Ren Yuanzi, Senior Di Long, Senior Mu. These three Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pills are yours, please do accept it.”
Everybody was dumbfounded, including the three seniors. Three peak supreme grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pills that would even entice a Divine King, to think he would just give it to others?! At this moment, even Xuan Qingming felt somewhat jealous, after all his own Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill could not be compared against those three.
But Xuan Qingming understood that this gift had other meaning. It will play an important role in the alliance of the four sects in the future.
Ren Yuanzi and the others were not stupid. Jiang Chen giving them these pills meant that it’ll be hard for them to go against Profound Peng Sect. The four sects will become much more unified than before now.
“Are you sure?” Old Ancestor Di Long looked at Jiang Chen with extreme shock.
“It’s just a mere medicinal pill,” replied Jiang Chen indifferently.
At this moment, the entire event was pumped. A mere medicinal pill? That is a freaking Supreme Grade Pill! A Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill that even Heavenly Gods want! Such a pill is usually priceless, those high-grade pills that usually appear only on auctions cannot be sold due to its high price.
Jiang Chen waved his palm and gave it to the three of them. Ren Yuanzi and Mu Tianen looked at each other as they were extremely happy. Especially Mu Tianen, he did not expect the boy from Profound Feng Sect to be this generous. How could this lad do such a thing? If these were to be auctioned, it would be a great fortune especially for a Late Void God like Jiang Chen.
He could even spend the fortune he’ll get without worry for the rest of his life.
Some people thought Jiang Chen’s brain must be fried. But there were also those who couldn’t help but admire Jiang Chen’s generosity. Now, those who had some schemes or thought in regards to him had to withhold and recalculate their plans. After all, iwas rare to have such a generous person in this world.
Jiang Chen giving out the pills made the whole event fall into madness. His generosity was way beyond their comprehension. How could he give out such a pill to others? Moreover, the one giving out was just a Void God disciple.
Jiang Chen became famous in the event.
“This lad is truly a shocker. Damn. How come I do not have such a prodigious alchemist under me?” Old Ancestor Di Long curled his lips, feeling unsatisfied.
Meaning, he liked Jiang Chen, extremely. As the boy gave him a peak supreme grade Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pills. The benevolence he received couldn’t be described.
“Hehe. You’re right. Looks like the Profound Feng Sect will become famous. Moreover, this Jiang Chen will be the cause of it.” Ren Yuanzi said. The rating he had towards Jiang Chen was raised within his heart.
“But, it’s not a great thing. You should know that ‘A gentleman was originally innocent, but he became guilty because of the item he possesses’ I advise you to stop him from going into the Hidden Secret Realm. Otherwise… it’s not like I’m cursing him but I bet he’ll be targeted by the others. Now that he’s famous, the Divine Pill Sect will surely be one of his pursuers. ” Mu Tianen said indifferently.
Even though it was not great for the ears, Xuan Qingming too thought of it. He’s right. Jiang Chen may have made the Secret Hidden Realm his final resting place, it’ll be a hard battle for him if he enters it.
Xuan Qingming frowned deeply. It was definitely a problem. This time, Jiang Chen and the Profound Feng Sect won great cheers from the people here. But it’ll not help them in their journey in the Secret Hidden Realm. Since, Jiang Chen was still too weak. A Late Void God was the weakest in the whole Secret Hidden Realm.
“F*ck. I said you’ll definitely do it. Haha. Good! Jiang Chen.” Bai Yunfei hammered Jiang Chen’s shoulder.
The people of the four sects cheered for Jiang Chen. And some other sects even couldn’t help but accept Jiang Chen. It was rare for such a young man with such an attitude in this world. There were even many female cultivators secretly falling in love with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and did not speak a word while the crowd cheered him on, he was used to it. At this moment, he was looking forward to the Hidden Secret Realm instead. It’ll be a battle of life-and-death, as the whole young experts of the Linhe Boundary will be there.
Xuan Qingming hesitated for a while, but he knew that this was the best for Jiang Chen. It felt like he’s going to take away Jiang Chen’s qualification to enter the realm. Can he do it? Xuan Qingming could not bear to do such a thing towards this exceptional disciple.
“Jiang Chen. I feel that your strength is still lacking. Why not reconsider and not enter the Hidden Secret Realm.” Xuan Qingming said meekly.
He felt embarrassed uttering those words. But he had no choice, Mu Tianen was right. Jiang Chen won the greatest honour for the Profound Feng Sect, but will he choose to back off right now?
Xuan Qingming thought that Jiang Chen was not such a person.
“Sect Lord, you should know that for the sake of this Hidden Secret Realm, I killed Yan Cheng in a single strike. Hence, I will not give up.” Jiang Chen shook his head.
Xuan Qingming sighed. He chose to respect Jiang Chen. Yet in the end, he’s afraid of this result. The whole place will be filled with experts, Jiang Chen may not be able to become one of them.
“Jiang Chen is our Profound Feng Sect’s hope in rising up. You guys must protect Jiang Chen. Pan Hong, this time do not disappoint me!” Xuan Qingming said towards Pan Hong.
“Acknowledged, Sect Lord. Pan Hong will not disappoint your expectation.”
“Jiang Hao, when the need arises, ally with the Profound Feng Sect, do not allow any losses befalling them, especially Jiang Chen.” Mu Tianen said.
“This disciple understands.” Jiang Hao nodded.
“Zhang Lei, you too. Protect Jiang Chen. Our Earthly Hades Sect will not allow others to bully us and our brothers.” Old Ancestor Di Long said.
“Yes. Old Ancestor.” A handsome man said respectfully.
“Ling Long, protect Jiang Chen.” Ren Yuanzi looked at the only girl behind him and said.
“Alright.”
Ling Long nodded and looked at Jiang Chen with a calm expression.
Jiang Chen looked back at her, a beautiful girl that garnered the gaze of others, one that was favoured by the heavens.
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. Looks like the three pills he gave off was worth it. To think it managed to rope in so many bodyguards for him.

Chapter 2287-Reincarnated Thrice
“I heard that tomorrow night there’s a big auction at the eastern Ju Yuan Auction House. Should we go and check it out? Sect Lord,” Bai Yunfei said with a smile.
God knows where he got the information that there will be a big auction at the eastern side with a big crowd.
Xuan Qingming frowned but seeing Jiang Chen and the others happy expressions, he couldn’t bear to be harsh with them. Moreover, Jiang Chen had just helped Profound Feng Sect, toppling even the Divine Pill Sect. Such an honour made Xuan Qingfeng feel proud.
“Come back before the sun sets,” Xuan Qingming said.
Bai Yunfei and the others cheered. Since it was their first time being so far out from the sect and to be here in the largest city of the Linhe Boundary. How could they suppress their excitement?
“Go with them. Come back before the sun sets tomorrow.” Ren Yuanzi looked at the eager disciples behind him.
After all, they were still in the state where they’re still cultivating their heart in this secular world (still get enticed/excited by the things of the secular world). Just like how he was in the past. Nobody could run away from the temptation of the secular world. It’ll be a lesson for them in the future, they’ll have to meet different kinds of people, scenes and challenges to grow.
Jiang Chen was different, no matter it was in the human world, Immortal World, or even the current Divine World, he was always calm. Compared to those youngsters of the Divine World, he had reincarnated thrice; hence, he had been through a lot, it’s not something that could be compared with these people.
Jiang Chen’s calmness and quietness was different from the others, making him much more exceptional.
Old Ancestor Di Long and Mu Tianen had their disciples follow them to have some fun. Perhaps this will be their last, because nobody knows how many people will come out of the secret realm in the end. Not even Ren Yuanzi or Old Ancestor Di Long, the great elder of their respective sects, could be sure that these eighty-ish people will not change after going into that battlefield. It will be a true baptism from the secular world, abandoned by the whole world. You can only rely on yourself, you’ll be living for the sake of your own self, alone.
“The Secret Hidden Realm is filled with treasures and dangers. You’ll have to be wary against the dangers within and also the dangers beside you. Only the peerless ones could come out of there.”
Old Ancestor Di Long’s gaze slightly moved and looked at the empty Eastern City and said quietly.
“Those that managed to come out of there will have their personality changed and grow tremendously. Just like… us. Nobody could simply succeed, one needs to pay a great price to succeed. The Hidden Secret Realm is truly a place that one hates and loves it greatly.”
“I hope so, I hope that there will be more people coming out alive this time.” Xuan Qingming sighed.
On the second day, Jiang Chen, Bai Yunfei, Yang Jian and the others came to the Ju Yuan Auction House that housed the largest auction in the Ancient Dragon City. The attendees of this auction are those true experts and wealthy ones. They were all there for the sake of getting their hands of the great treasures that were going to come out.
“I heard that there will be a Ten-Thousand Years Blood Spirit Mushroom and a Human Faced Demon Ginseng, those are supreme grade immortal medicines.”
“Bah! I heard that there will be Divine Tools on this auction too. This Ju Yuan Auction House is the largest auction ground of the whole Eastern City, after all. There are certainly many treasures here.”
“You’re right. You can get anything as long as you have the cash for it. Haha, but the finale of the auction is a formula for an Immortal Grade pill. The people of the Divine Pill Sect are also here, they are dead set on getting that item.”
More people gathered near the entrance of the building that could house 100,000 people.
“Greetings, the entrance fee is 10 mid-grade divine origin stones.”
The guards at the entrance shocked Bai Yunfei and the others. 10 mid-grade divine origin stone just for the entry fee? Wouldn’t they earn like 10,000+ high-grade divine origin stones from just the entrance fee? Isn’t it too much? Even though some of them felt pained, since they’re already here they could not return without getting anything.
“This is fifty mid-grade divine origin stones.”
Jiang Chen paid the guards and the latter nodded. The guards were careful not to down on anyone because they never know who they’re dealing with here. They’ll be instantly killed if they offended the wrong person. After all, lives are nothing for the strong and powerful.
“Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Man Shuai said.
“You’re too polite, it’s nothing much.” Jiang Chen waved.
Yang Jian, Bai Yunfei and Wang Chongyang smiled towards Jiang Chen as a form of thanks. They’re all brothers from the same sect, hence Jiang Chen did not think much about it. Moreover, it’s just a few divine origin stones, Jiang Chen never bothered much about it.
“Tsk tsk tsk, look at this place, it’s bigger than our sect’s martial arena. Filthy rich. It’s my first time seeing such a big building,” Bai Yunfei said.
“The Ancient Dragon City has a long history and the people here have some great background. The people behind Ju Yuan Auction House are certainly someone strong and are possibly even on-par with our Sect Lords. The hidden experts in this city are numerous,” Yang Jian said.
“Yeah. It’s fully occupied. Truly envious. But isn’t this too crowded?” Man Shuai said.
“You guys look around, I’ll go and pawn some stuff.” Jiang Chen said and walked towards the staff.
“I would like to auction some items.”
“The auction is starting in less than an hour, would you please…”
“Are you sure you can bear the responsibility? Shouldn’t you ask what I am planning to auction?”
Jiang Chen’s words immediately made the staff at a loss of words and did not know what to do. What Jiang Chen said was right. If someone was planning to auction a valuable item, then he could not bear the responsibility.
“Alright.”
The staff member nodded and brought Jiang Chen into a hall while clenching his teeth.
“May I ask, what are you planning to auction?”
“A Divine Tool,” Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Currently, there was no one in the hall, other than the two staff members.
At this moment, the two staffs were stunned, blinking their eyes as they couldn’t believe what they just heard.
“I’ll call our manager.”
One of them quickly ran and looked for their manager. Jiang Chen sat down and was served with tea.
In less than two minutes, a graceful young woman came out. She had an alluring appearance that could entice any man, but Jiang Chen had seen many beautiful women in his life, he was already immune to it.

Chapter 2288-Another Wealthy Person
“Young master. What kind of Divine Tool are you planning to auction?”
“It’s just a normal sword. It’s named Zi Luo Sword.”
Jiang Chen took out a sword. It was just a normal grade item that he made, it’s not really a great treasure. Its name was also randomly given. He had thirty more of these average divine tools. Nevertheless, these divine tools were priceless for others.
“Young Master, are you sure you want to auction this divine tool?”
Her eyes shone brightly and looked at Jiang Chen with sparkling eyes.
“This servant’s name is Zi Luo. Hehehe.”
Jiang Chen was stunned, instantly feeling awkward. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? Are you joking?
“I hope Miss Zi Luo does not blame me, this sword is named by me.”
“Then, we have a unique fate.” Zi Luo lightly touched her robe and said with a slight smile.
“This divine tool will have a base price of 5,000 high-grade divine origin stones. As for how much it’ll fetch, it depends on the people who are going to bid for it, and how high they’re willing to offer. For us, the highest bid we had here was 11,000 high-grade divine origin stones. Our fee is 1%, the lowest in the whole Ancient Dragon City. ”
“Oh. I see.” Jiang Chen nodded.
“Oh right, Miss Zi Luo, will there be an Immortal Grade pill formula up for auction today?” Jiang Chen asked which made Zi Luo slightly squint her eyes.
“You’re right, is the young master interested in the pill formula too? As far as I know, the people of Divine Pill Sect are dead set on getting that. Hehe.”
“Nope. I’m just asking.” Jiang Chen smiled.
He left the hall after setting a price with Zi Luo. At this moment, the auction site was filled with people.
On the stage, a tall and elegant auctioneer and a middle-aged man beside her said:
“Everyone please be silent. The annual grand auction will be starting. I am your host, Han Dabing. Our first item is a False Divine Tool, the starting bid is 500 high-grade divine origin stones. Each bid shall not be less than 10 high-grade divine origin stones.”
Hao Dabing said and the people became somewhat restless, countless people increased their bid instantly.
“510!”
“530.”
“540.”
“……”
“630!”
“Are there any higher bids? 630 once, 630 twice, 630 thrice! Sold!”
With the hammer as the indicator. The False Divine Tool was sold at 630 high-grade divine origin stones. Jiang Chen was secretly feeling flabbergasted. Damn, they’re rich, looks like there’s a lot of rich guys here.
Dozens of items were sold in the following time—pills, medicinal ingredients, meteorite irons required for making a divine tool, and some rare items.
“Haih, all of those are good stuff but it’s a pity I do not have the money for it,” Bai Yunfei said with a bitter expression.
The cheapest item was at least several dozen high-grade divine origin stones which they consider as extremely expensive. If they include Yang Jian, they only have 10 high-grade divine origin stones. Looking at how these people spend all their money freely, even the serious Yang Jian felt somewhat pained from the money flying here and there.
“Darn it, where do they get those divine origin stones?”
“Worse comes to worse. We’ll just have to become pirates and rob them to help the poor. Haha.” Wang Chongyang said with a laugh.
“Next up, the items that are going to be auctioned are these Ten Thousand Years Blood Lingzhi and the Human Faced Demon Ginseng. Some would ask why are these two items put up together? Because these two rare treasures are grown together like siamese twins. One could not be separated from the other. Once they are separated, their potency will drop tremendously.” Hao Dabing said seriously and nervously.
“The starting bid for this item is 2000 high-grade divine origin stones.”
*Clamor…*
The whole auction ground was in an uproar. 2000 high-grade divine origin stones. The price immediately stopped 90% of the participants from bidding. Only those disciples from the great sects with deep pockets could fork out such an amount. Hence, the contender for these items became few.
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes. He wanted this Ten Thousand Years Blood Lingzhi and the Human Faced Demon Ginseng. It’s great for one’s cultivation if these two items were consumed directly, however, if it was made into pills, the effect would be tremendous.
Of course, Jiang Chen wasn’t the only one who knew how precious these items were and what effect it had.
“This Ten Thousand Years Blood Lingzhi, I’ll get it.” A grey-robed youth said.
Jiang Chengzi who was beside him slightly nodded. These peerless materials must be obtained.
“2100.” The grey-robed youth said.
“2200.” Somebody bid.
“2300.”
“2500.”
The price kept going up, the Ten-Thousand Years Blood Spirit Mushroom and the Human Faced Demon Ginseng was quite pricey but nobody was willing to let it go.
“3,000.” The grey-robed youth said.
Many people had given up because of the price because not many were willing to pay for such a high price.
“3,100.” Another unknown person bid as he too was interested in the items.
The price slowly went up.
“3, 500!” The grey-robed youth said once again.
This time, the hall became silent, everyone couldn’t help but be left speechless by his wealth.
“The Divine Pill Sect is truly wealthy.”
“Yeah. But only the people of the Divine Pill Sect could possess such items and wouldn’t waste it.”
“You’re right, a great ingredient needs a great alchemist to unleash its true potential.”
At this moment, Jiang Chen’s expression moved, it’s time for him to bid. Because no one else was bidding against the Divine Pill Sect anymore.
“Three thousand eight hundred.”
Jiang Chen’s words shocked countless people. Instantly, all their gazes were focused on him.
“It’s him!” The grey-robed youth’s eyes slightly squinted.
“Another wealthy man? Haha.”
“Looks like the Divine Pill Sect has met their match.”
“I know that fellow. Isn’t he the alchemist that defeated the prodigy of the Divine Pill Sect?”
“Looks like it’ll be a harsh battle.”
“Four Thousand.” The grey-robed youth frowned.
Is that fellow really THIS rich? A mere minor sect disciple without background, how could this be?

Chapter 2289-You're but a Defeated foe, What respect can you give?
“Don’t forget that he just simply gave three priceless Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pills to others. This fellow must have the resources for it,” said Jiang Chengzi.
“4500!” Jiang Chen raised the bid again. This time, by 700.
“Jiang Chen, are you mad? Do you have that many Divine Origin Stones? 4,500 High-Grade Divine Origin Stones, you… you… you…” Bai Yunfei stuttered as he could not understand Jiang Chen.
“Yeah, Jiang Chen, this is not a game.” Yang Jian reminded him.
“I can give three Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill to the sect lords that are worth more than 3000 high-grade divine origin stones. Do you guys think I am playing here?” Jiang Chen asked.
“True. Haha.” Wang Chongyang was stunned and nodded in agreement.
But they did not know where Jiang Chen had gotten such great fortune. Because, if he was really wealthy, there was no need for him to sell those pills before.
The grey-robed youth’s expression became cold. This fellow is bidding way too high. The value of the item is at best only at 4000 high-grade divine origin stones. But he keeps raising the bid.
“4700!” The grey-robed youth didn’t back off.
“5000,” Jiang Chen bid again, calmly.
Once again shocking the whole auction. Many girls became crazy at this moment. A man like that was truly handsome. Moreover, that attitude and character of his… unimaginable.
“I will marry a guy like him in the future.”
“He may not even want you. Haha.”
“Yish. Aren’t I allowed to even dream?”
“Yeah. Such a guy is really charming and you can’t do anything about it.”
Countless girls were infatuated with Jiang Chen, no matter if his act of giving the pills or the bids he made, it had shocked the hearts of people.
The grey-robed youth wanted to bid again but was stopped by Jiang Chengzi.
“Enough. Our target is the Immortal Grade Pill Formula.”
The youth harrumphed from Jiang Chengzi’s words, obviously unhappy. But to think he could not get those ingredients. That fellow was truly irritating.
“Alright! 5000 once, 5000 twice, 5000 thrice! Sold.” Hao Dabing was extremely happy.
He looked at Jiang Chen and slightly nodded. 5000 high-grade divine origin stones. Such dominance, truly domineering!
The next item was Jiang Chen’s divine tool. The final bidding price was 9300. A pretty high price. Jiang Chen was satisfied with it. It’s just that… What will the price of the final pill formula be?
“Next item is the finale of today’s auction. The starting bid is the same as the divine tool Zi Luo Sword, 5000 high-grade divine origin stones. Each bid needs to be more than 500 divine origin stones.”
The place suddenly went silent after Hao Dabing’s announcement. Immortal Grade Pill Formula… it’s a supreme grade treasure. A treasure that one couldn’t resist. But those that could really utilise it were rare because the value of the formula was hard to measure. Only a true immortal grade alchemist could utilise such a formula and create an immortal grade pill, but it would not be easy to concoct it.
“It’s finally your turn.” Jiang Chen’s heart moved.
At this moment, he did not want anything else, but just that sheet of pill formula.
“This pill formula is written in a special way in the ancient era. The scroll will disappear after it’s read once. Hence, there’s no risk of the content being leaked. This is the one and only formula.” Han Dabing said.
“I announce, the bidding of the Immortal Grade Pill Formula starts now!”
“5500.”
The first to bid was the grey-robed youth.
Unexpectedly, nobody raised the bid. Even though the pill formula was precious, for most of the people, it’s useless for them even if they obtained it. Only those alchemists have any use for it. Moreover, only the Divine Pill Sect has Immortal Grade Alchemists.
The audience was somewhat stunned, including Han Dabing who was feeling awkward. Could it be that only the Divine Pill Sect is going to bid for it?
“6000.”
An old man wearing a black bamboo hat said.
Hao Dabing breath out a sigh of relief. Finally, someone started to raise the bid.
“6500.”
“7000.”
“7500.”
The youth said confidently. This time, the black bamboo hat old man did not raise his bid anymore.
“This Immortal Grade Pill Formula is mine.” The grey-robed youth smiled.
“8000,” Jiang Chen said indifferently.
Once again the whole auction house lit up.
“You again!” The youth felt angry. This fella is like our sect’s greatest bane.
“8500.”
“9000.”
“9500.”
“10,000!”
10,000! When Jiang Chen raised the bid to 10,000, the people beside him were shocked, thinking: This fellow is nuts. Moreover, to stand up against the Divine Pill Sect with such an attitude. Truly commendable.
“Little friend. Why are you going against our Divine Pill Sect? This immortal grade pill formula is not something you can concoct. Why don’t you do us a favour?” Jiang Chengzi said.
“Why do you think that I cannot concoct it? How about… Divine Pill Sect sell me their favour?” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“Why should we do you a favour?” Li Yanchao said.
“Forgive me for being frank. Your Divine Pill Sect and I do not have any respect to talk about in the first place. Don’t come here and bid if you are afraid to lose. Haha.” Jiang Chen’s laugh could be heard across the auction site.
Overbearing!
The people of the Divine Pill Sect’s expression became cold. Looks like they have met their match this time. Moreover, Jiang Chen was not willing to do them any favour.
As one of the strongest sects in Linhe Boundary, not even the 1st or 2nd strongest sects—Clear River Sect and Ghost Eye Sect—would choose to offend them. But a mere disciple of Profound Feng Sect dared to offend them openly.
Li Yanchao’s expression was extremely cold.
“You… We are giving you respect and you’re not accepting it.”
“What respect does a mere loser be able to offer?” Jiang Chen disdainfully said.
He was dead set on getting that formula. Hence, he did not need to continue this farce with the Divine Pill Sect. That was not his style. Today they might not know it, but in the future, they’ll understand how valuable it is to curry favour for Jiang Chen.
“You……!” Li Yanchao could not say another word.
“Such being the case, let’s battle towards the end. Agree?” The grey-robed youth sneered.
“That immortal grade pill formula is mine.” Jiang Chen curled his lips, he was very confident.
“I’ll tell you this too. I will not give up. This pill formula is mine for the taking.”
Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox
++-------++------++--------++--------++-------++----
Chapter 2290-How much do you guys think is appropriate?
Jiang Chen too, was extremely confident. He still had a dozen or so Divine Tools in his inventory. Worse come to worse, I’ll just smack you down with these divine tools.
The grey-robed youth’s expression was calm, a clear smug and sneering expression could be seen on his face. He was dead set on getting the Immortal Grade Pill Formula. He will not give up even if Jiang Chen tries to stop him.
The grey-robed youth completely looked down on Jiang Chen. As the number two prodigy in the whole Divine Pill Sect, no one was able to stand in his path. That peerless monster did not come, hence, he was the number one right now. He was even treated with the same status as Jiang Chengzi. Because no one knew how terrifying he could become. It’s even said that he was bound to become one of the most important elders of the Divine Pill sect in the future.
“Senior Lang Ya, you have to avenge me.” The youth, named Li Yanchao, said while gritting his teeth.
Lang Ya, the super prodigy of the Divine Pill Sect. The most famous guy within the sect, even the elders of the sect have to be afraid of him. Because his father’s achievement was something that could not be overcome. His father sent him to the Divine Pill Sect to further cultivate his skills, which allowed him to become who he was today. A man who was skilled in cultivation and in the art of alchemy.
There was no weakness under that skinny figure. He wanted that pill formula, but he might not be able to concoct it successfully. However, it’ll serve as an experience for his path in alchemy.
Jiang Chen also wanted that pill formula. The medicinal pills created from the formula would certainly be Immortal Grade. Not even the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill could reach the Immortal Grade, even if Jiang Chen were to put all his effort into creating a perfect one. The greatest result he would get was a Peak Supreme Grade. Hence, the Heavenly Fire Great Rejuvenating Pill was not an Immortal Grade Pill.
“10,500.” Lang Ya said.
At this moment, the whole crowd was in clamour. More people felt like they were becoming an audience in this clash. No matter if it was Jiang Chen or Lang Ya of the Divine Pill Sect, none of them were willing to back off.
“11,000.”
“11,500.”
“12,000.”
“12,500.”
“13,000.”
“You……” Lang Ya’s expression became gloomy.
At this moment, he could not stay calm anymore, since it was a large amount that was being raised. Even Jiang Chengzi who was standing beside him pulled his arm, giving him a hint that he should stop if he could no longer continue.
“Elder Jiang, let me borrow 3,000 Divine Origine Stones.”
Jiang Chengzi had never thought that he had jumped into the trap he made himself. 3000 divine origin stones was all he had. Do you think an elder like me is as rich as you? But at this moment, he also could not take it anymore.
“14,000!”
This time, Lang Ya shouted fiercely.
“This two fellas… this is too exciting. They’re definitely onto each other. None of them is willing to back off. Haha.”
“Yeah. The final winner will only be the Ju Yuan Auction House.”
“Right?! But this clash is way too exciting. 1000 high-grade divine origin stones each bid. Oh My God. I do not even have a thousand in my vault.”
“Today’s trip is truly worth it. Haha. Enjoyable!”
The battle between Jiang Chen and Lang Ya had caused quite a number of people to be shocked and excited. 1000 high-grade divine origin stones for every bid, since when did divine origin stones become worthless? The world of the wealthy could not be understood by others.
Jiang Chen was confident. I have more than enough divine tools, three if two is not enough, four if three is not enough. I’ll just flood you down with these.
“Jiang Chen, do you have that many divine origin stones? We’re dead meat if we can’t make it out.” Bai Yunfei said worriedly.
“Nope.” Jiang Chen shrugged and said.
“What? You really don’t have it? I knew it.” Bai Yunfei said solemnly.
“Let’s stop bidding, why should we continue to fight?”
“I still have my divine tools. I’ll just pawn them out, isn’t that okay?”
Everyone was stunned. Yang Jian, Wang Chongyang and Man Shuai… The way Jiang Chen spoke…. Pawn those divine tools?
Nobody dared to speak anymore and the site became completely silent. Because Jiang Chen was truly extremely dominating. ‘Spendthrift’ could not be used to describe him anymore. Meaning, if it’s not under any special circumstances, who would sell their divine tolls? Wouldn’t it be better to use it?
However, Jiang Chen went against the norm, selling off his divine tools to buy a pill formula. But in Jiang Chen’s opinion, a divine tool was less attractive compared to that pill formula.
“15,000!”
Jiang Chen and Lang Ya looked at each other from afar.
“16,000! Jiang Chen, are you sure you want to thoroughly offend us, the Divine Pill Sect?” Lang Ya said.
“What are you trying to say? Am I here in this auction just to offend your Divine Pill Sect? The people here today will be our witness. Could we not bid on the items that we want?”
Jiang Chen’s word lit the whole auction house. Yeah on what basis that you’re able to bid and we can’t? Are you bullying us with your authority? Yes, the Divine Pill Sect is strong, but is it stronger than the masses?
“Jiang Chen. You better watch out. Hmph.” Lang Yan harrumphed and became silent because he did not want to give Jiang Chen a chance to incite the crowd.
That was not beneficial for him and the Divine Pill Sect. This Ancient Dragon City and its lord were not any weaker than the Divine Pill Sect and its sect lord. Hence, nobody dares to be reckless in this city.
“17,000.” Jiang Chen raised his bid again and he did so with so much ease.
Whereby every time Lang Ya raised his bid, he felt like he was constipating. It felt like those divine origin stones were forced out from his body.
“18,000!”
Lang Ya was at his limit. He only had 14,000 divine origin stones. He was prepared to get those medicinal ingredients and the Immortal Grade Pill Formula. In the end, he did not get those ingredients and he may even lose the pill formula. Could I still not win against him with the 3000 divine origin stones that I borrowed from elder Jiang Chengzi?
What is his background? Is he really just a disciple of Profound Feng Sect? How could he be so rich?
“Why so stingy? Raising the bid for such a small amount each time. How much do you guys think I should raise next time?” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“20,000! 20,000!”
“20,000! 20,000!”
Waves of voices could be heard reverberating throughout the auction site. The crowd was excited, each and every one of their eyes were lit up by this exciting event. The Ju Yuan Auction House would earn tons and tons of cash and every one was extremely excited.
“Alright, I’ll accept the request of the audience, 20,000 high-grade divine origin stones.” Jiang Chen waved his hand.
The host Hao Dabing was dumbfounded. What?! To raise the bid just like that? To ask the crowd how much to raise? And 2000 to boot?! Holy crap isn’t this … D*mn!
