Battle Through the Heavens: Ice Emperor Begins with the Reversal of the Burning Blade

This auction of "Ruthless Taiyin Skill" was a small climax, and it was ultimately won by a woman.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next up for auction is the Yellow-Rank low-level cultivation technique, 'Burning Technique'! The starting bid is ten thousand gold coins. Bring it forward!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the staff pushed a cart and displayed a pile of scrolls on the auction stage.

"Huh? Low-level Yellow Rank?"

"Is the Xiao family finished? They even put this trash out there for publicity!"

"Damn it! We came here for the valuable treasure, are you trying to mess with us by sending this junk?"

"........."

The auctioneer immediately became the target of attacks, and some hot-tempered people even started swearing.

"Please be patient, everyone! Let me finish speaking!"

"The reason why the 'Burning Flame Technique' has become the lowest-level cultivation method is simply because everyone is unable to find the extraordinary flame. Am I right?"

The auctioneer's short story did not quiet the crowd; instead, it made the scene even more lively.

"Nonsense! In the Strange Flame Plaza of Strange Flame City, who can break the seal of a Dou Di?"

"It is said that only the Yan Clan has discovered a strange flame in their clan's heritage site, and Canaan Academy also has a Fallen Heart Flame."

"Just say what you want to say, don't waste time beating around the bush."

"Yes! Tell me quickly!"

The auctioneer gave a slightly mysterious smile, which was exactly the effect he wanted, and continued, "Today, our Xiao Clan Auction House has several treasures for sale, one of which is related to this 'Burning Technique'."

"One of them is... the Bone! Spirit! Cold! Fire! It's about to be born, and it's a mature Bone! Spirit! Cold! Fire! It contains the essence of a Dou Di, I think everyone knows that!"

boom!

The scene was like a bombshell had been dropped, causing an instant uproar.

"What? A strange fire has appeared in the world? It's been nearly a thousand years since a mature strange fire has appeared."

"Tch, it's just a single strange flame. How could it be our turn? Not to mention the Flame Clan and the Medicine Clan, even those alchemists would fight over it."

"Yeah! It's just a strange flame. Even if you use it to evolve the 'Burning Technique,' it's not even worth a fart."

"........."

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached its climax, the auctioneer then revealed his purpose.

"Everyone! The Bone Spirit Cold Flame has appeared in the world, does that mean the appearance of other strange flames is not far behind?"

"Everyone here is a shrewd person; I don't need to remind you, do I?"

"Now that the Emperor Source Channel of the Dou Qi Continent is blocked, there is no more source energy to be supplied. Everyone knows that the formation of strange fires requires the accumulation of source energy from heaven and earth, right? Have you all forgotten about the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe...?"

No sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking than someone with lightning-fast reflexes placed a bid.

"Eleven thousand!"

"Twelve thousand!"

These 178 copies of "The Burning Manual" were meticulously packaged at the auction house, and each one sold for over ten thousand yuan, which adds up to two million yuan. The auction house also earned a considerable commission.

"What exactly is causing the blockage of the source energy? Fortunately, I have the original copy of the 'Burning Technique,' which allows me to cultivate the Yin Technique to devour the strange ice. Let's go and fight for the different fire."

"But the Xiao Clan Auction House really has some clever tricks up its sleeve! They're using inside information to inflate the price of 'The Burning Technique'."

"The Bone Spirit Cold Flame has appeared! That's quite big news!"

Xiao Yao was also shocked by the lively scene. The auction items were sold out in no time. Fortunately, the price of the "Burning Technique" rubbing was not high, so even if he did not get the strange fire, he would not lose anything!

The main event is about to begin.

"Everyone! Next is news of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame appearing in the world, including its three specific locations."

"This message is only available in three copies! Whether you can get one or not is up to you."

"Starting bid! Five million per piece of intelligence! Bids increase by five hundred thousand each time!"

The Bone Spirit Cold Flame is excellent, but its price is extremely high; it's so expensive just because of a piece of information.

Just as everyone was still observing and no one was making a bid, someone suddenly made a bid.

"Five and a half million!"

With someone taking the lead, those who were still observing also started to raise prices.

"Six million!"

"Seven million!"

"Eight million!"

The price skyrocketed to twelve million!

Just as Xiao Yao was grimacing at the price, a number exploded like a cannonball.

"Thirty-eight million! I'll take all three!"

hiss……

Everyone gasped in shock! No one else placed a bid.

The auctioneer was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, "So it's Young Master Lin of the Central Plains Poison Sect! He's certainly generous!"

"The Poison Sect! I heard they've been searching for a strange fire! It's true! But isn't the Poison Sect based on poisonous fighting techniques? Why are they interested in this strange fire?"

"You're unaware of this. Do you know about the Calamity Poison Body? Legend has it that every few generations, the Poison Sect produces a powerful expert with the Calamity Poison Body. Could it be that this generation of young people has produced one?"

"I've heard that the Calamity Poison Body requires multiple different flames to fully evolve, and these signs seem to confirm it! Moreover, rumors circulate that the Poison Sect has connections with the Flame Emperor's confidante!"

"You mean Emperor Yan? Could that beauty be the mysteriously vanished top-tier expert, Fairy Doctor?"

"That's right! Not long after the Little Fairy Doctor Dou Sheng disappeared, the Poison Sect suddenly rose from the Chuyun Empire, and many top experts suddenly emerged. It eventually developed into the Poison Sect in the Central Continent. Moreover, they are famous for producing people with the Calamity Poison Body. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Rumor has it that the Poison Sect has connections with the Xiao Clan. Everyone says that Little Fairy Doctor has become an Emperor, but whether it's true or not, it's quite mysterious!"

……

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Xiao Yao also looked curiously toward the location of the Poison Sect's young master.

Not far away, about eight or nine seats away, was a middle-aged man, smiling rather elegantly and casually.

"Hehe! Everyone, my Poison Sect is determined to obtain this Bone Spirit Cold Flame. I hope you will give me the honor. I, Lin Qing, thank you in advance!"

Lin Qing, the young master of the Poison Sect, stood up and greeted the several powerful figures from the Black Corner Region with clasped hands.

This person has a rather delicate appearance, and although he looks middle-aged, he has a kind of elegant and refined air about him.

Just as Xiao Yao was sizing him up, something that shocked him instantly caught his eye, and he stared at it intently, unable to look away.

"A storage ring! Just like mine! The surname is Lin?"

This discovery left Xiao Yao in a state of brief shock.

When the Poison Sect Master clasped his hands in greeting, the ring on his finger was revealed. At such close range, Xiao Yao could clearly see the appearance of the ring.

"Could it be related to my mother? We should probably investigate the Lin family too!"

Just as Xiao Yao was stunned, an extremely arrogant voice broke the deadlock!

"The Central State Poison Sect is being rather domineering. Is it that great? I'll offer twenty million!" This man was dressed in a black robe, revealing only his eyes, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Yao's attire.

Lin Qing wasn't angry upon hearing this. Instead, she said tactfully, "Alright, since this friend wants it, let's see who has the better skills! Twenty-two million!"

Just as Lin Qing finished announcing the price and was about to sit down, a loud, aged laugh came from behind, echoing throughout the entire auction hall!

"Twenty-five million! Hahaha! I'm not too late, am I!"
