The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 283 Clue To Finding The Dark Bone Gloomy Fire (Part One)

Anyone who has lived in the cultivators’ world knew what the name"Dark Wind Sect” meant, so when the eighth Wolf General of the BloodWolf Team heard this, he resigned himself by keeping quiet because noone dared offend the sect. At this point, threatening them with "BloodWolf Team" was useless.

"One million and 700 thousand vital energy crystals!"

It was with gritted teeth that the eighth Wolf General announced hisbid.

“Two million vital energy crystals!" a familiar voice rang out from theDark Wind Sect's position.

Because the voice was dull, it was impossible to tell if the man waspleasant or angry.

When the eighth Wolf General heard this, he became quite upset. Sincehe was a cultivator of the medium stage of Earth Realm, owning twoEnergy-advancing Elixirs would enable him to make a greatbreakthrough in vital energy cultivation, and allow him entry into thepremium stage of Earth Realm.

However, two million vital energy crystals were already beyond hisfinancial capacity since the total amount that the five Wolf Generalsbrought this time was only 1 million 900 thousand.

So, the two Energy-advancing Elixirs would undoubtedly go to peoplefrom the Dark Wind Sect.

The auctioneer was quite pleased with the final bid price. He thoughtone million vital energy crystals was very satisfactory for the twoEnergy-advancing Elixirs before the auction started. But two million wastwice that amount and already a bonus!

After he announced the result of bidding for the two Energy-advancingElixirs, a waitress came out holding a black wooden box. Then beforethe whole audience at the auction, she put the mysterious box on thecrystal auction block in front of the auctioneer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item up for bid is extremely precious.It was genuinely born between heaven and earth in a natural way—theDark Bone Gloomy Fire, ranked eighth in the list of the Earth Fire.

This precious item will not be of much interest for most ordinarycultivators. But pill refiners will replace it extremely attractive.

May I present to you the Unearthly Fire.

Now, please allow me to give you all a background about the UnearthlyFire.

There are some Unearthly Fires that exist in this world, between heavenand earth. It can either be the flames found in the center of a meteoritethat came from the universe long ago or the fires of lava that havebeen burning for thousands of years in the depths of a volcano.

These are the Unearthly Fires!

You are probably aware that pill refiners must refine the fire withinthem through their bodies first. Generally, pill refiners use their vitalenergy force to refine their inner fire.

Now, for pill refiners who have been fortunate enough to obtain theUnearthly Fire from somewhere else previously, and used it to refinethe fires in themselves, the Unearthly Fire's purpose will now be torefine elixirs. The observation is that the effect of elixirs made using theUnearthly Fire was far more powerful and completely different fromthose refined using only normal fires.

Also, you probably are not aware that the Unearthly Fire not onlybenefits pill refiners, but can also serve as a powerful weapon to thosewho cultivate the fire formula.

Each Unearthly Fire possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.According to legend, there once was a cultivator in this world whopracticed the fire formula and integrated the Unearthly Fire with hisskills. The result was a power that made killing enemies as easy aschopping vegetables.

I have just presented to you the role of the Unearthly Fire, and I believeyou all understand its significance and value now.

By the way, there is still one thing I need to say, and this may sound likea letdown for you.

At this time, we are not actually bidding out the real Unearthly Fire, butrather a clue to obtaining the fire. Anyone who successfully bids for theclue in this auction will be given a 40 percent chance or more of replaceingit, provided you follow the instructions in the clue.”

His announcement caused an uproar inside the auction house. Somegrowled in annoyance, others hissed at the auctioneer, in disgust. Manyof those extremely dissatisfied were cultivators, who made a special tripin the hopes of bringing home the Unearthly Fire.

"Everyone, can I have your attention, please.

The Unearthly Fire is very rare anywhere in the world and requirestremendous effort to acquire.

I believe that no one in the entire Violet Orchid Empire has everacquired the Unearthly Fire.

All that we, the Ganges Auction House, managed to replace was a clue toreplaceing the Unearthly Fire, and this was serendipity.

Let's pause awhile to think. Here's what we know so far—eachUnearthly Fire is equipped with tremendous power that can destroyheaven and earth. But, even if we know the clue, we don't have theskills nor the expertise to obtain and refine it.

So, we're going to bid out this clue and let cultivators with the skills andability to search for it. This way, we would not be wasting precious timedoing the impossible.

You may have heard that the Unearthly Fires all over the world aredivided into two categories—Heavenly Fire and Earth Fire. This time, weare bidding for the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire, which ranked eighth in thelist of the Earth Fire.

This clue of the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire will have a total of five copies tobe auctioned by our Ganges Auction House. This means anyone whogets the clue will be facing four competitors in the search. Do youunderstand?

All right, I have said enough. Dear friends, take time to think about thiscarefully before bidding.”

Among those terribly disappointed by the last announcement wasAustin.

And he had reason to be frustrated. First, they were only bidding for aclue and not the real Dark Bone Gloomy Fire. Second, even if he wonthe bidding, there were still four competitors that he had to face. Andlast but not the least, the clue only gave a 40 percent chance of replaceingthe Unearthly Fire.

It was truly disturbing news. In the auction house, many people whoinitially planned to spend a lot of money to bid for the Unearthly Firepromptly canceled their participation.

So, Austin decided to wait and observe the proceedings. It would givehim a sense of how much people would be willing to bid to win theclue. If the prices weren't too unreasonable, he would take a chance.Banging the gavel, the auctioneer started the bidding. "Everyone, thereserve price for the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire is one million vital energycrystals. We shall start the bidding.”

He stood and waited for people to make offers.
