Chapter 0945: Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill

After Qin Yi and Li Luo's gazes met, they retracted a short moment later.

However, the people around Qin Yi noticed this, and one of them was someone Li Luo was well acquainted with—Zhao Jingyu. He hated Li Luo to the bone, and he started glaring right at him the moment he arrived.

His eyes flashed as he casually remarked, "Haha! Fairy Qin, I heard about what happened during the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li's Dragonbreath Pool Battle. Li Luo slipped past you when you were busy suppressing Li Qingfeng and the rest and barrelled towards the Golden Dragon Pillar. What was meant to be for you was snatched out of your grasp. Only a bumpkin that was raised in an outer divine continent would do something so despicable."

His single sentence incited the wrath of all the youths around her. They instantly began to make disparaging comments towards Li Luo. They might not have known what had actually occurred, but that was not important. What mattered was expressing their attitude towards this situation, supporting the female goddess before them, and insulting Li Luo!

Qin Yi gave a shallow smile as she praised, "It seems that a few months after that, Li Luo ended up becoming the Dragon's Head of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li. It seems like everyone underestimated him."

Zhao Jingyu smirked coldly. "That just means that this generation of the Twenty Banners is full of incapable fools. Only then could a bumpkin step over them. It's truly embarrassing."

The crowd around them similarly heard Qin Yi's words, and their assessment of Li Luo subconsciously increased as a result, along with their enmity. Although they all knew of the grievances Qin Yi's mother held towards Li Luo's parents, they knew that Li Luo himself was quite good-looking. Therefore, they thought that if their goddess wasn't careful, she might very well be entrapped by his charm.

Thus, they wholly agreed with Zhao Jingyu's words and simultaneously started to denigrate the Twenty Banners of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

Li Luo, on the other hand, remained uninterested in replying to him, even when faced with his slander. He had no intention of interacting with Qin Yi, as the previous generation's enmity had doomed them to be on opposing sides till the end of time. Furthermore, Qin Yi was one of the top three threats to him in the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

If there was a chance, he would strike first and gain the advantage. As Li Luo thought about these things, he paused before the crystal cases and gleefully inspected the contents within.

Before him were numerous mysterious goods. Some of them were not of a particularly high grade, but they were rarely seen outside. There were even some spirit pills that temporarily bolstered one's strength, which would be exceptionally helpful in the expedition they were about to undertake.

Clearly, these were all items that were handpicked by the Golden Dragon Bank to ensure that they were relevant and desirable. The only problem was that the prices were multiple times higher than usual.

Additionally, Li Luo also saw a few violet-eye treasured artifacts. Even though they only had a single violet-eye mark, their might could not be discounted.

He had no need to buy any of them, as he did not lack for violet-eye treasured artifacts. To be fair, single violet-eyes were a little beneath him. If they wanted to entice him, it had to be at least in the twin or triple violet-eye grade. As he continued to browse, he very quickly found what he was looking for.

It was a black pill that looked like a pebble that could be picked out of a river. On its surface were six small holes that were constantly emitting smoke.

"Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill." Li Luo stared at the black pill with great interest, his heart trembling.

This pill was most suitable for those at the Fiend Finisher Tier as it could increase one's Fiend Dipper Energy by around fifty feet, which would save him painstaking cultivation time.

Li Luo currently possessed six hundred and fifty feet of Fiend Dipper Energy, all of which he had acquired through laborious cultivation. Additionally, the greater the amount of Fiend Dipper Energy he had, the more difficult it was to further grow it. Thus, many opted to utilize pills to supplement their cultivation, and Dipper Smelting Pills were most ideal.

The only disadvantage was that Dipper Smelting Pills would only work the first time they were consumed. One's body would develop a resistance towards them after a single use, and the same pill would thereafter become utterly ineffective.

Dipper Smelting Pills came in three grades, which were separated into three, six, and nine orifices. The Nine Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill was the best, with almost no side effects. The other two possessed certain impurities that would potentially affect the quality of one's Fiend Dipper Energy, making it more difficult to cultivate in the future.

However, most people did not aim to raise the grade of their Fiend Dipper Energy to the utmost, and thus pills like the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill were greatly desired treasures. The moment they appeared on the market, they would be snatched up.

Li Luo glanced at the price tag and mumbled to himself, "Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill, three million skygold per pill." These pills were usually only sold for two million, but they had been severely marked up here. The Golden Dragon Bank truly understood how to extract every piece of skygold from their clients.

Li Luo felt a little depressed. He was someone that held great aspirations, so he desired to reach the limit of nine hundred and ninety feet Fiend Dipper Energy. Thus, he was a little concerned about this pill’s potential side effects. Otherwise, he would have bought one before coming here. However, now that the Spiritual Resonance Cave was about to open, no one knew just what would happen in the future. A single Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill would suffice in a time of urgency.

With this in mind, he took out an object that the female attendant had previously provided to him. He then input a bid into the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill's assigned number within the list.

Three point two million skygold.

The moment he did so, a new number jumped to the top of a screen situated in the middle of the hall.

It was the amount that Li Luo had input.

If no one else chose to bid within the next five minutes, then Li Luo would obtain the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill for his listed price.

However, such a fortuitous situation did not occur, as a new message was broadcasted onto the screen immediately.

"Number fifty-eight has raised the bid for the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill to five million." Li Luo felt a little taken aback. If one was sufficiently wealthy, they could directly buy the item without needing to wait for the five minute delay.

The only thing was that the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill was at most valued at four million skygold. Just who was so insane as to pay five million for it?

When Li Luo thought about it, he glanced towards Qin Yi's little circle and briefly crossed gazes with Zhao Jingyu. He was currently beaming uncontrollably, and he waved the plaque in his hand, showing that it had the number fifty-eight engraved upon it. Li Luo sighed. Of course it was this idiot.

"Wow... now this seems familiar." Li Luo sighed.[1]

He did not seem infuriated, only smiling and shaking his head. This Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill was meant to be an auxiliary means anyway, so it didn't matter if it was snatched away.

However, right as the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill was about to be snatched away, two more bids appeared on the screen for the other pills.

Li Luo had casually bidded on two other items, increasing the price by one hundred thousand skygold each.

When he raised his head, he flashed Zhao Jingyu a slight smile.

Yet Zhao Jingyu only returned a cold smile this time. He did not continue to bid and instead turned his attention towards the youths around him, speaking a few sentences with a mocking look.

When the other geniuses heard his words, they similarly glanced at Li Luo. Then two of them raised their hands and similarly bought out the two newly bidded pills.

The powers they were affiliated with were close allies with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao. Thus, when they saw Zhao Jingyu's expression, they naturally would not mind offending Li Luo.

"What boldness." Li Luo sighed.

However, he did not get angry. On the other hand, Li Fengyi, who was watching him attempt to bid on the items, immediately frowned and began to run her mouth off.

Li Luo hurriedly restrained her. "Forget it. I never really wanted to purchase those pills and was just messing with them."

Li Fengyi angrily retorted, "Whether you want to or not is a separate thing. Their actions are clearly meant to provoke us."

Li Luo then reassured her a few more times before she huffily said, "We'll wait till we enter the Spiritual Resonance Cave. Then we will see!"

This was accompanied by a quick nod from Li Luo.

Qin Yi noticed their actions. She said to the young men around her, "I'm afraid those aren't things that Li Luo truly desires. Why would you go to that extent to snatch them from him?"

"I'm just messing around," Zhao Jingyu guffawed.

"It's just a few million skygold. Banner Leader Li Luo is too poor to keep up," the rest mocked.

Qin Yi also understood their intentions and did not comment further. In actuality, she had hoped that Li Luo would obtain the Six Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill, as choosing to use it would actually weaken the threat of him in future.

People like him and her were in it for the long run, and every step had to be incomparably firm. If their foundation lagged behind in one stage, it would be extraordinarily hard to compensate for it later on, and the cost would be massive.

As the group were lost in their differing thoughts, the veiled figure who was standing by the third floor's railing with eyes as clear as an icy lake frowned slightly. After a moment, she beckoned to an attendant that was closely following behind her and uttered two sentences very softly. "Young mistress?" The attendant seemed a little surprised when she heard her words. However, the veiled figure lightly waved her hand, and the attendant turned to do what she was told to do.

A while later, Li Luo, who was now loafing around, suddenly saw a new item appear on the screen. It was something he could not tear his eyes away from.

There were two lines written up there. "Nine Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill. Starting Bid: five million skygold."

1. TL Note: If you remember, Zhao Jinyu had made a massive bid for the 5 Dragon Fangs in the Western Region in Chapter 860. ☜
