Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system - Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Ch-513: Alchemic Flame
“Heavens!” Zhang Shiyu’s face turned pale when she felt the aura erupting from Lu Bai, and her face turned paper white when she heard her husband’s words.

“Damn!” Wu Jing also clenched her fists and jaw as sweat dripped from her forehead. Even though it was not aimed at her, she could feel the pressure. A few handfuls of guests closest to Lu Bai had fainted.

Zhang Family Box

“Heavens, how on earth did he reach the Pure Core Realm? Not even His Majesty is at this realm!” Zhang Mei cried out in disbelief as she looked at the arrogant Lu Bai, who wore a mocking expression, and then looked back to see that her subordinates had fainted.

Wang Ming’s Box

“Impossible!” Tang Ning, Tang Nian, and Feng Mei jumped to their feet as they looked at the figure in disbelief. Only Wang Ming was able to maintain his composure, though he still furrowed his brows.

‘He was not hiding his cultivation. Even without my pupil technique, how could I have been deceived?’ Wang Ming thought with a frown on his face.

Soul Eyes. Wang Ming activated his technique and raised an eyebrow when he saw the details.

[Name: Lu Bai]

[Cultivation: 12th Stage of the Core Formation Realm]

[Occupation: Sect Master of the Human Puppet Sect]

[Physique: None]

[Bloodline: None]

‘Only Core Formation Realm?’ Wang Ming thought with a frown on his face. ‘System, what’s going on?’

[System Message: Use the technique on his shadow.]

‘Shadow?’ Wang Ming blinked in confusion but narrowed his eyes at Lu Bai’s shadow, and sure enough, some information popped up on his retina.

[Demi Human Puppet]

[Cultivation: 1st Stage of the Pure Core Realm]

[Description: A puppet created by combining the corpses of a powerful cultivator and a shadow tiger, both at the Golden Core Realm. Due to the fusion of both corpses, the new puppet has reached the Pure Core Realm.]

“This is new.” This was the first time he had heard about mixing the corpses of humans and beasts together to create a puppet.

“This is going to be a problem,” Tang Ning said with a grave expression.

“Hey, Lady, why aren’t you counting down?” Lu Bai said with a frown as he looked at Jiang Ruoxi.

Damn, trouble, Jiang Ruoxi thought with a forced smile.

“Going once… twice… thrice… sold to the Sect Master of the Human Puppet Sect,” Jiang Ruoxi said, but this time there were no cheers from the crowd—only solemn silence, as most were still afraid to speak.

“Haha, why the silence? I am not going to eat you all,” Lu Bai said with a chuckle.

Clap clap.

The audience at the bottom hurriedly applauded so as not to offend Lu Bai, who seemed to intimidate everyone.

Royal Box

“Father, do you think the great families, together with our army, could deal with the Human Puppet Sect if they rebel?” Wu Jing asked with concern.

“Don’t worry, daughter. If necessary, I can ask for help from allied kingdoms after giving them some benefits,” Wu Junhao said with a sigh.

“Alright everyone, the next item is very special, so I have to wear some protective items,” Jiang Ruoxi said, snapping everyone out of the gloom. It seemed to work, as they looked at her, and under their eyes her robes were replaced by armor made of ice.

Soon, the second-to-last auction item drew everyone’s attention. The edges of the crystal stand emitted a cracking sound, and a special barrier quietly enveloped the auction stage. Even above the marble platform, a terrifying ice barrier appeared with glowing runes.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Due to the danger of this item, we at the auction have specially created these barriers to suppress it so that all of you don’t get burned by mistake.

“But still, be cautious and avoid approaching too close to the auction stage. The robes I just changed into are for maintaining my safety. This item has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.”

At these words, the hall was in an uproar!

Destroy the heavens and the earth?

What kind of item is that?

Jiang Ruoxi’s gaze was calm. As she brought her hands together, an astonishing aura instantly enveloped the entire hall.

A cluster of white flames suddenly appeared before everyone. As the flames emerged, the temperature within the auction hall soared, making people feel an urge to remove their clothes.

If not for the barriers blocking the heat, everyone on the bottom floor would have been incinerated by the energy of this peculiar flame.

Even Core Formation experts didn’t dare touch it, let alone Qi Gathering and Foundation Realm cultivators.

Many alchemists jumped from their chairs, unable to contain their excitement. Upon seeing the flames, they nearly went mad with desire.

Even the surrounding cultivators who were not alchemist experts cast greedy glances as they swallowed their saliva. They had a vague sense of what the flame was.

“I am sure many of you have guessed, but for those who do not know, this is an Alchemic Flame that is being put up for auction along with this Alchemic Cauldron,” Jiang Ruoxi said as she pointed at the human-sized orange cauldron at the back. Then her eyes glinted as she added, “As for the rank, the cauldron is Heaven Rank, and as for the flame, it is Immortal Rank, which can also be used for combat.”

Hiss

Everyone sucked in a cold breath as they looked at the flame with greedy eyes.

This was something that drove not only alchemists but even normal cultivators crazy. Non-alchemists who were previously only interested were now drooling when they heard it could be used for fighting.

Wang Ming’s Box

“Holy—an Immortal Rank item? Not even the Royal Family has an Immortal Rank item!” Tang Ning cried out.

“Dear, it’s not going to be easy for you to get this flame,” Feng Mei said to Wang Ming, as she knew his main purpose for coming to the auction—or even to the city—was to obtain an Alchemic Flame and Cauldron.

“Hmm.” Wang Ming simply acknowledged her words with a hum, but his eyes were fixed on the flame as he thought, This is not an Immortal Rank flame at all.
