Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 863 - 854: Also an Alchemist?

"Who is this..."

Curious, Elder Ming asked.

"Junior Mo Wangchen, greetings to Elder Ming." Mo Wangchen smiled and cupped his hands, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Mo Wangchen?"

Elder Ming seemed lost in thought; in the Xuanwu Alliance, he hadn’t heard of a genius by that name.

But appearing with Tian Xinzhi and Kong Chu, how could Mo Wangchen be an ordinary person?

"Elder Ming, Brother Mo is the close acquaintance of Master Zhang Mingyuan."

Kong Chu quickly stepped up to support Mo Wangchen. In truth, even he was not entirely sure about Mo Wangchen’s true origins.

He only knew that the other possessed extraordinary Alchemy Dao Skill, but to what extent was unclear. Nonetheless, undeniably, Master Zhang Mingyuan paid great attention to Mo Wangchen.

"I see."

Upon hearing Kong Chu’s explanation, Elder Ming’s face showed comprehension without suspicion.

"What item does Little Friend Mo wish to bid on?" he asked.

"The Heavenly Subduing Bow." Mo Wangchen did not hide his intention.

"The Heavenly Subduing Bow?"

Hearing his words, Elder Ming was slightly surprised, not expecting the focus to be on the Heavenly Subduing Bow, which seemed least worthy of attention at this auction.

Mo Wangchen ignored the reaction and continued, "According to Elder Ming, what do you think the final price of the Heavenly Subduing Bow might be?"

"After preliminary assessment, the Heavenly Subduing Bow is a Half-Step Immortal Artifact. Thus, Qingyuan Auction has set the starting price at one million Immortal Stones, but the bow seems exceptional. We estimate that it originated from an era predating history and was at least a Quasi-Immortal Device. It got damaged in a battle, resulting in diminished power."

"Elder Ming is certain this bow is an ancient relic?" Mo Wangchen squinted.

"Naturally!"

Elder Ming nodded, "We have repeatedly verified; this bow is indeed from ancient times. Were it not severely damaged, its value could have increased several times."

"Has Elder Ming tried its power?" Mo Wangchen inquired again.

"Frankly, we’ve tested it, and even I couldn’t draw the bow..."

"Unable to draw it, hmm."

Hearing this, Mo Wangchen’s heart trembled; by now, he was eighty percent sure the bow up for auction was the Divine King’s Weapon from ancient times!

"Does Little Friend happen to know the origin of this bow?" Elder Ming suddenly asked.

Mo Wangchen shook his head, not revealing anything about the Heavenly Subduing Bow, "I’m just lacking a handy weapon, so I wanted to have a look."

"Is that all?"

Elder Ming was suspicious, clearly not believing, but since the other didn’t wish to disclose, he couldn’t force an answer.

Soon after, Elder Ming departed, leaving Mo Wangchen and his companions to sit back. Kong Chu remarked, "I sensed Zhou Jing’s aura in room eleven."

This auction hall had a Forbidden that blocked Divine Thoughts, clearly indicating Qingyuan Auction’s intent for parties to avoid probing each other. Yet, Kong Chu, being an Alchemist, possessed unique Perception, allowing him to keenly detect everything here.

"Besides Zhou Jing, there’s another concealed aura in room eleven, forced into suppression, but I am sure this person’s Cultivation is at least True Immortal," Mo Wangchen said, squinting his eyes.

"Indeed, besides Zhou Jing, the other person is Flame Phoenix Saintess, Feng Qing!" Kong Chu stated.

Mo Wangchen lightly furrowed his brow; he had suspected but wasn’t certain.

Listening to their conversation, Tian Xinzhi was surprised, gazing upon Mo Wangchen.

She understood Kong Chu’s ability to extend Perception and probe other rooms, but how was Mo Wangchen able to accomplish this?

"Is it possible he’s also an Alchemist?"

Thinking this, Tian Xinzhi didn’t voice the question.

If he truly was, then she was underestimating Mo Wangchen.

To be an expert at Void Immortal Realm level and an Alchemist too, it raised Mo Wangchen’s stature in Tian Xinzhi’s eyes even further.

Considering the Forbidden here not only blocked Divine Thoughts but required Saintess-level Perception to detect anything, meant Mo Wangchen was at least a Holy Rank Alchemist?

How astonishing!

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Qingyuan Auction. I am the host of the auction..."

From the central hall on the first floor, Elder Ming ascended. Mo Wangchen and his group could clearly see the situation below through the window of the ninth room.

He said little, going directly to the main part of the auction.

"For the auction, ten items will be bid upon, and the highest bidder gets them. Let us begin with the first item."

The words fell, and Elder Ming waved his sleeve. Instantly, the space in front of him vibrated slightly, and a silver large bow slowly floated before his eyes.

Compared to other bows, this one’s overall size was larger by half a circle; the bowstring was crafted from special golden threads that still emitted a subtle golden radiance.

"An ancient era’s Magical Treasure!"

"Really? It could survive till now without weathering to dust?"

In the auction, people were amazed, clearly skeptical.

"You need not doubt. After thorough verification, this bow is definitely from ancient times but has sustained damage. Now, it’s comparable to a Half-Step Immortal Artifact and..."

"Without Divine Power, impossible to draw. It’s embarrassing to admit even I failed despite my attempts."

"Can’t draw the bow?"

Everyone was stunned, "Elder Ming is a True Immortal Realm expert; even he can’t draw it, how could we?"

"Although ancient, if you can’t draw the bow, what’s the use?"

With a word from one person to another, the interest in this bow waned; after all, who would spend money on an unusable Magical Treasure?

"Starting price, one million Immortal Stones, bidding starts now!" Elder Ming smiled, clearly not surprised by the reaction but proceeded with the bidding process.

"Haha, just one million Immortal Stones; though unusable, spending a million Immortal Stones to collect an ancient Magical Treasure is worthwhile."

The auction hall was filled with attendees, not all of whom lacked interest in this bow. As Elder Ming’s words fell, someone directly bid from the second floor, "I bid a million Immortal Stones; I’ll take it back for study."

"One million one hundred thousand!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

Soon after, people followed with bids, though evidently, the prices weren’t going very high since the bow wasn’t essential.

"Brother Mo?"

On the third floor, in the ninth room, Tian Xinzhi looked at Mo Wangchen. She noticed his expression changed upon seeing the Heavenly Subduing Bow taken out.

Was it excitement or disappointment?

"It really is the Heavenly Subduing Bow!"

Mo Wangchen’s mind was shaken; upon seeing the bow, he felt an uncontrollable tremor.

This wasn’t caused merely by his excitement; it was beyond his control, as if, in the unseen, he resonated with the Heavenly Subduing Bow!
