Chapter 112 Li Zhi is auctioned off
"Look, there's a scorched earth there."

In an uninhabited area near the north of the Holy State, several cultivators at the other shore level were searching in the vast Gobi Desert for the aura of the heavenly calamity that they had sensed before.

Finally, in a low and barren mountain range three thousand miles away, they found the place where Li Zhi transcended the tribulation.

Looking at the mountains in front of them that were flattened by thunder, and the charred earth that seemed to have melted, the monks showed expressions of horror.

Although the calamity clouds in the void had dissipated, the aura of the calamity was still strong in the air, and the surroundings still showed traces of a terrifying battle that had taken place.

There were sword and claw marks everywhere, as if a peerless swordsman had fought a great battle with a real dragon here.

Above the sword marks, murderous aura soared into the sky, and within the claw marks, the aura of destruction was strong.

They were so terrified that they didn't even dare to use their spiritual sense to observe the remaining sword intent on those traces.

It was as if the remaining sword intent would destroy their minds.

Bypass the area where there are dense traces of battle.

They found a huge pit about fifty meters deep more than ten miles away.

The melted rocks in the pit became colorful, as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky and hit the earth, leaving traces after the earth was transformed by high temperature and high pressure.

At the bottom of the pit, there was a charred iron ball with a diameter of more than one meter, half-wrapped in lava.

At this moment, tiny purple sparks were still coming out of the charred iron ball.

There was also a strong breath that made them dare not approach, and they even felt a little panic, as if the charred iron ball was full of great danger.

"Brother Li, is that the remains of a magic weapon?" Standing on the edge of the pit, none of the six of them dared to go down to investigate. A young monk in his twenties asked a monk in his thirties next to him.

After seeing the iron ball, Li Kui said, "It should be the remains of a magic weapon left behind by a senior who failed to survive the calamity here."

They couldn't imagine how, if one succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, he would leave the magic weapon behind.

Although everyone was talking about it, no one dared to go down into the pit to observe closely what the remains of the magic weapon were.

Soon, an old monk said, "Let me take a look. If it is really the remains of a magic weapon, we can take it to the Holy City to buy it. Many important figures have come to the Holy City recently, and perhaps someone will be interested in it."

Several young people said to the old monk, "Uncle Gong, please be careful. I feel scared."

Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of several young monks, the old monk surnamed Gong carefully flew to the bottom of the pit.

He first tried to touch the surface of the charred iron ball with his hand.

There was no feeling of electric shock, and it seemed that the remains of the magic weapon were not as dangerous as it looked.

Then he smashed the lava around the iron ball and dug it out of the ground.

Then the old monk tried to pick up the charred iron ball, half of which was still covered by rocks, with his hands.

But he couldn't lift the iron ball all at once.

The old monk surnamed Gong felt his face turn red. He originally wanted to show off in front of the young people, but his performance was a bit messed up.

Afterwards, he stopped trying to move the iron ball and directly used his divine power to take the charred iron ball away.

But when his magic power touched the surface of the charred iron ball, the iron ball instantly burst out with a purple electric light and hit the old monk with a "bang".

"Uncle Gong!"

Amid the exclamations of the five young men beside the pit, the old monk surnamed Gong showed no signs of struggle and turned directly into a charred corpse.

The young men near the pit were instantly frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They felt it was a blessing that they had not been the first to take action.

Afterwards, several other young men with weaker cultivation focused their attention on Li Kui, who was in his thirties.

He is the person with the highest cultivation level in the group. He has already passed through nine nirvanas at the other shore level and is only one step away from entering the secret realm of the Taoist Palace.

"Brother Li, you are the one with the highest cultivation among us, what should we do next?"

Regarding Uncle Gong's death, no one showed much grief, as if his death was not worth mentioning.

After Li Kui looked around, he said, "The aura of the heavenly tribulation on the wreckage is too strong. We cannot touch it now. If we want to move it out of the pit now, we have to go back to Zhang Tao and the others for cooperation."

"Brother Li, this is not appropriate. Zhang Tao and his company are not honest in their conduct. It is very likely that they have embezzled this treasure. By then, we may not even get a pound of the source."

"Since you know you're going to get nothing, why don't you get out of here right away?" Suddenly a very arrogant voice sounded from behind them.

Everyone was shocked and turned around to look, and saw a few big men in rough clothes exuding a strong murderous aura.

After seeing the clothes of those people, Li Kui immediately sent a message to the people around him: "Hurry up, they are bandits under the command of Tu Tian, ​​the seventh largest bandit in the Northern Territory."

When they heard that they were the gangsters' men, those who had originally wanted to argue with them immediately rode the rainbow light to escape.

Seeing this, the five bandits burst into laughter.

Then, the five of them came to Dingding and looked at the charred iron ball again and again.

One of them said, "Fourth brother, it looks like a magic weapon made of some kind of divine iron? It seems to have been damaged by a powerful thunderbolt."

Liu Laosi, the leader, looked around and said, "It does look like someone failed in their calamity escape here, and their magic weapon was melted into a lump of iron by the heavenly thunder."

"The young master is in the Holy City. We might as well present the remains of this magic weapon to him. Maybe he can send it to one of the seven major auction houses for auction." Someone showed a hint of greed in his eyes.

Among the five bandits, the leader Liu Laosi's cultivation had reached the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and the other four's cultivation were at the Dao Palace level.

How to deal with the remains of the magic weapon in front of us depends on Liu Laosi’s final decision.

After Liu Laosi looked at the charred iron ball, he said, "You guys step back first and let me put it away."

Then, Liu Laosi took out a pocket and wanted to put the charred iron ball into it.

But when he put the iron ball into his pocket, a violent thunder force burst out from the iron ball and directly penetrated the magic weapon in his pocket.

The iron ball fell back to the ground.

Even though Liu Laosi was a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he was affected by the sudden thunder and suffered serious injuries.

"Fourth brother, how are you?" Others greeted him.

But no one dared to step forward.

The injured Liu Laosi not only did not feel unlucky, but instead looked at the charred iron ball with shining eyes and said, "This is at least the remains of the magic weapon left behind when the immortal master survived the calamity."

"Fourth brother, so we are going to get rich?"

"Everyone retreat, cast spells remotely to attack this wreckage, and use up all the remaining thunder power inside it."

Afterwards, Liu Laosi directed everyone to take action.

Under the continuous consumption of the five bandits, the thunder power remaining inside the iron ball was soon exhausted.

During this process, all the rocks on the surface of the charred iron ball were peeled off, revealing a silvery-white metallic luster.

One of the bandits shouted excitedly: "This is the Star God Iron."

The Star Iron is a top-level iron that can be used to refine holy weapons. How much is such a large piece of Star Iron worth now? The five bandits felt their breathing become rapid.

One pound of divine iron is worth dozens of pounds of source. Now such a large lump of divine iron weighs at least tens of thousands of pounds, which is enough to be worth more than one million pounds of pure source.

Faced with this sudden wealth, they suddenly realized that it seemed a very stupid thing to offer the remains of this magic weapon to Tu Fei who was in the holy city.

Even though this piece of sacred iron has been refined by someone, the material is still priceless, and it is still possible to sell it for hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

The other four people turned their attention to Liu Laosi.

"Fourth brother, you decide."

Liu Laosi looked at the longing in everyone's eyes and said, "We have followed Master Tu for many years and have done our best. We have fought in many battles over the years and have repaid Master Tu's kindness. Although Master Tu is one of the thirteen great bandits and has a distinguished status in the Northern Territory, we cannot enjoy the same treatment as him. In the eyes of those disciples of the great sects, we are just bandits who will never be able to show up on the stage. Now that we are rich and powerful, we have the opportunity to retire. Whether you stay or go, I will not ruin your future."

"Fourth brother, we are all brothers you brought up. Now that we are rich and powerful, we will never leave you at this moment. There are seven major auction houses in the Holy City. Why don't we send this piece of sacred iron to the auction house opened by the Heavenly Demon Palace and sell it.

At that time, we will take hundreds of thousands of kilograms of energy and immediately fly away to a remote oasis. At that time, we will establish a famous and upright sect, and you, fourth brother, will be our leader. We can also live the life of those disciples of famous and upright sects, and we can marry and have children in peace, instead of hiding like a rat wherever we go like now. "

After hearing this, everyone was moved.

No one wants to be a bandit if they have money.

As troops under the command of Tu Tian, ​​the seventh largest bandit in the Northern Territory, they seem to have unlimited glory on weekdays, and even dare to rob the raw minerals of the holy land families, but in fact they are at risk of losing their lives at any time.

As a powerful being with the Heaven Devouring Magic Jar protecting him, Tu Tian could naturally do whatever he wanted and enjoy unlimited glory. But his subordinates couldn't do that. Compared to Tu Fei, they were more like rats and had to hide from place to place every time they went out.

This time they also received orders from their superiors to come to the Holy City to follow Tu Fei and await Tu Fei's orders.

But Tu Fei could wander around the Holy City openly, while they could only hide far away in the edge of the Holy State.

They even dared not go deep into the Holy State, for fear of being discovered by the disciples of the major sects guarding the Holy State.

Once the disciples of the major sects discover that they are the subordinates of the Seventh Bandit, they will be struck by thunder.

Among the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Territory, the ones who are in glory are the major bandits themselves and their descendants, not the minions who follow the major bandits.

They have already seen through the reality of this.

It’s just that I didn’t have the capital to start my own business before.

Now that they have such a large piece of star iron weighing nearly ten thousand pounds, it is enough for them to gain a large fortune.

It is even more than enough to start a small sect.

Everyone's minds immediately became active.

Afterwards, the five of them discussed the next course of action and decided to sell the divine iron, take Yuan Yuan and flee directly from the Northern Territory to settle in the Central Territory.

After washing off all the symbols related to the Seventh Bandit on their bodies and changing into new clothes, the five of them collected the Star God Iron Ball and headed for the Holy City.

Not long after they left, several more groups of people found the place where Li Zhi was undergoing the tribulation.

However, they gained almost nothing.

The holy city was extremely lively at the moment. With the Holy Body Ye Fan successfully breaking through the barrier and the God King Jiang Taixu connecting the line for him, Ye Fan became a hot figure.

Everyone's emotions seemed to be ignited by the joy of the holy body's successful breakthrough, and they all seemed to know that a golden age of spiritual practice was about to come.

After Liu Laosi and four others arrived at the Holy City, they headed straight for the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace.

The reason for choosing Tianyao Baoque is because it was opened by the demon race and has little to do with the human race.

After depositing the Star God Iron Ball in the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace, they temporarily left the City of Gods.

Because there have been many descendants of the great bandits active in the Holy City recently, and they don't want to meet them.

Yao Yuekong and Lu Lao immediately identified the piece of Star God Iron and found out that it was the remains of a magic weapon, worth hundreds of thousands of kilograms of pure energy.

Afterwards, Yao Yuekong took the remains of the magic weapon to Zuixianque to attend a gathering of the younger generation.

Everyone was chatting excitedly at the banquet, and Yao Yuekong said to everyone: "My fellow Taoists, my Tianyao Baoque has just received the remains of a magic weapon left behind by a powerful person who failed to transcend the calamity. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look."

At this banquet, there were not only the Holy Body Ye Fan, but also the great demon Pang Bo, the grandson of the seventh bandit Tu Fei, the grandson of the eighth bandit Li Heishui, as well as the heirs of powerful forces such as the Saint of Yao Chi, the Saint of Daoyi, the Prince of Daxia, the little nun in white, the disciples of the Feng family, An Miaoyi and many other geniuses of the younger generation of the Eastern Wilderness.

Yao Yuekong intended to sell the star iron to someone present, which could be considered as establishing a good relationship with them.

After hearing what Yao Yuekong said, everyone was slightly stunned. They didn't quite understand what was so good about the magic weapon left behind by a powerful person who failed to survive a tribulation?

It's not a king's magic weapon, or a holy weapon.

Yao Yuekong saw everyone's puzzled expressions and said, "That magic weapon is made entirely of star iron. According to the appraisal master of my Tianyao Baoque, it is a magic weapon without the Tao and the Principle. After being re-refined, it can be cultivated as a life-long magic weapon. Moreover, it seems to have experienced the baptism of the Chaos Thunder Tribulation, which has stimulated a trace of the spirituality of the magic iron. Moreover, the broken body of the magic weapon seems to be an elixir furnace, and there is an unformed elixir remnant in the furnace. Maybe there is a chance to produce a elixir."

No breath of life was found inside the Tianyao Baoque, but a trace of residual strange fragrance was found in the iron ball, which seemed to be produced by a peerless divine elixir.

This is also the reason why Yao Yuekong brought it to the banquet, hoping to share the fun of opening the blind box with everyone.

After listening to Yao Yuekong's introduction, everyone showed curiosity, even Ye Fan was no exception.

Afterwards, Yao Yuekong took the charred iron ball of the Star God and placed it directly in front of everyone for everyone to admire.

Everyone saw some blurry patterns of strange beasts on the surface of the iron ball.

One can vaguely see that its predecessor was an alchemy furnace.

It seems that under the high temperature, the furnace cover and the furnace body are melted together into a sphere.

When the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi saw those almost melted patterns, she felt somewhat familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

Just as everyone was watching, a golden light suddenly flashed.

A little golden Qilin appeared on the iron ball, and tried hard to knock on the charred iron ball with its little claws, as if trying to smash it open. However, the iron ball was very strong, and no matter how hard the little golden Qilin tried to scratch it, it could not damage it at all.

The anxious little golden Qilin tried hard to gesture towards the little nun in white who was present.

The golden little Qilin is the little divine silkworm that has undergone nirvana.

"Your Highness, what is it saying?" Someone couldn't understand the little silkworm's gestures, so he asked the little nun in white.

The little nun in white was a little surprised and said, "Xiaoguai said that there is a living person in this iron ball."

After hearing this, the little golden Qilin nodded immediately, and the expressions of the others also changed instantly.

They all extended their spiritual sense to observe the movements inside the iron ball.

However, as soon as their spiritual consciousness entered the iron ball, it was torn apart by a breath of destruction.

Many people suffered losses because of this.

Seeing this, Yao Yuekong explained to everyone, "Because we just experienced the heavenly tribulation not long ago, there is still a strong aura of destruction from the heavenly tribulation inside, which will tear apart people's consciousness. Therefore, it is impossible to use consciousness to explore the specific situation inside. We can only rely on special Dharma eyes to observe the situation inside."

Afterwards, everyone shifted their attention to Ye Fan, knowing that he had cultivated the Yuantian Divine Eye that could see through things.

Li Heishui said, "Xiao Ye, you have cultivated the Yuantian Divine Eye. Please help us see what is inside and whether there is really a peerless divine elixir."

Ye Fan could only smile and opened his Yuantian Divine Eyes, only to see a charred meat ball with almost no life inside.

He then told everyone about his discovery.

Everyone immediately used various methods to sense the charred meat ball inside.

"Could it be that someone is using the flesh and blood of living beings to make elixirs?"

Just as everyone was making wild guesses, the Saintess of Yao Chi and Dao Yi said almost at the same time: "Brother Yue Kong, we at the Yao Chi (Dao Yi) Holy Land want this piece of divine iron."

Everyone was surprised by the determination in the words of the ethereal-looking Saint Maiden of Yao Chi and the Taoist nun with a clear aura.

The Great Xia Prince asked, "Fairy Yao Chi, Fellow Daoist Yu Chen, could you tell us what the meat ball inside is?"

"An old friend." Saint Maiden Yao Chi and Saint Maiden Daoyi spoke almost at the same time.

This answer left everyone confused.

"I, Yao Chi, will offer 500,000 kilograms of source. Brother Yuekong, please transfer it to me." The Saint of Yao Chi said with great wealth.

Saint Daoyi opened her mouth but did not bid, she really could not afford so much resources.

Despite everyone's curious inquiries, the Saint Lady of Yao Chi did not give any explanation.

He bought the charred iron ball directly from Yao Yuekong.

Afterwards, Yao Chi Saintess said to everyone: "My fellow Taoists, Yao Chi has something to do, so I will leave first. I am sorry to disturb your leisure time."

Upon seeing this, the Great Xia Prince asked, "Fairy Yao Chi, could you tell us who is in the iron ball?"

Yao Chi Saint Lady shook her head and said, "I'm really sorry, I can't tell you his identity without his permission."

Then she left with the iron ball.

Seeing this, An Miaoyi asked Saint Daoyi: "Daoyou Yuchen, you seem to know who is in that meat ball? Can you tell everyone?"

The Taoist girl shook her head and said, "Wulian Tianzun, this involves other people's confidential information, so Yuchen is not in a position to tell you."

However, Ye Fan began to murmur in his heart, feeling that the breath of that meat ball was vaguely familiar.

Ever since he successfully overcame the tribulation, he wanted to find Li Zhi to express his gratitude in person, but Li Zhi seemed to have disappeared from the Holy City and could not be found no matter how hard he looked.

Yao Yuekong's auction of the remains of the magic weapon at the banquet was just a small episode at the banquet.

The protagonist of the banquet was still Ye Fan, who broke the curse of the holy body.
