Chapter 284 Clue To Finding The Dark Bone Gloomy Fire (Part Two)

But since the Unearthly Fire had little significance for ordinarycultivators, and the only thing being auctioned off was a clue to replaceingthe Dark Bone Gloomy Fire, there were hardly any bidders.

The auctioneer did say earlier that it was only useful for pill refiners andfire cultivators.

So, he was somewhat disappointed over the crowd's lack ofenthusiasm.

Just when the auctioneer was starting to think whether the auction ofthe clue to the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire was going to be a failure,someone spoke up.

The first bid was announced.

"1 million 100 thousand vital energy crystals!"

"1 million 150 thousand vital energy crystals!" a second one called out.A few moments later, the highest bid was placed at 1 million 500thousand vital energy crystals.

The number of bidders dwindled, and the interval between each bidbecame protracted because they needed to wait awhile before startinga new bidding.

Finally, when the bid price came up to 1 million and 530 thousand, thebidding stopped after a very long wait.

When the auctioneer on the crystal stage was about to announce thisas the last bid price, Austin finally decided to make an offer.

As a pill refiner, Austin was well aware of what he could gain byobtaining the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire. In case he won the clue andfound the Unearthly Fire, he could further enhance his pill refining skillAlthough he would only be bidding for information on how to obtainthe Unearthly Fire, he still stood a better chance of replaceing it thansomeone who didn't have a clue. It is said gaining wealth involvedtaking a risk. Maybe if Austin strove hard enough, he would besuccessful. After all, Austin never lacked spirit when it came to fighting."1 million 600 thousand vital energy crystals.”

He offered the bid price through an audio button in his room, so noone was aware of his identity.

Another bidder made an offer.

Then the auction house remained silent for several minutes.

When Austin spoke through the audio system, someone seated at thecorner of the house sneered. "This voice seems to be from Room No.63 in the VIP zone. Hmmm. I remember seeing Austin there.

He's quite rich, which was something I didn't expect.”

"That's all right. Austin may win the bid for the clue to the Dark BoneGloomy Fire, but once we kill him, that will ultimately be ours.Ahhh...this clue is worth more than a million vital energy crystals,”another man said.

Another voice said greedily, "And then we can resell it to others. Morethan a million vital energy crystals will be sufficient for the five of us tohave fun."

"All right, everyone, I declare that..."

There was silence all around.

In the end, after just one bid by Austin, the clue of the Dark BoneGloomy Fire finally belonged to him.

After the auction, all Austin got was a tattered cloth with a ratherobscure map printed on it. The map showed mountains and rivers. ButAustin had no time to examine the cloth, so he had no idea what it was.With a wry smile, he thought, 'l spent more than one million vitalenergy crystals only to get a shabby cloth without knowing what it's for.Am I a bit of a black sheep?

No wonder there weren't many cultivators taking part in this auction. Itlooks as if the auction of the clue was only a ploy by the GangesAuction House."

After pondering this a while, Austin was somewhat regretful. In the end,he stuffed the shabby cloth inside his Space Ring. 'I'll replace time to studyit later.

If it is indeed useless, the lesson will have cost me much, * he thought.After Austin left the Ganges Auction House, he headed to the inn.

He was deep in thought when he felt something strange.

Instantly, he released his power of spiritual sense.

Once unleashed, the spiritual sense was capable of sensing anythingwithin a range of 400 meters. Austin felt the presence of five menstalking him. With the power of spiritual sense, he saw the distincthuman figures in his mind.

"Master, there are five men tailing you," Violet warned.

Her voice was so clear in Austin's head

"Yes, Violet, I know. So, you noticed them, too. It seems that there'sbeen a great improvement in your spiritual sense power. The five menare some 400 meters behind me, so I can pick up their scents.

But you can also sense them, which is good.

What this is telling me is that your power of spiritual sense is almostcomparable to mine."

The young cultivator was slightly surprised. Initially, his power ofspiritual sense was stronger than Violet's. But after obtaining thepowerful crystals from Cloud Cave, he sent half of them to Violet.

Once the crystals were in her possession, Violet hid in the Illusion Beadand trained with the powerful crystals day and night. After only twentydays of cultivation, her power of spiritual sense grew as strong asAustin's.

Everyone was aware that the power of spiritual sense was extraordinary,and was even harder to cultivate than the vital energy.

So, it was quite impressive that Violet improved so quickly in terms ofthe power of the spiritual sense.

And it seemed she was right about the powerful crystals being so usefulin the cultivation of the power of the spiritual sense.

This revelation made Austin quite eager to immediately start training toimprove his power of spiritual sense with the powerful crystals.

As Austin communicated with Violet through his mind, five stalkerssneaked up from behind. Now Austin could get a clearer idea of themwith his power of spiritual sense.

"Violet, the five stalkers are not weak. One of them is at preliminarystage of Earth Realm, while the rest are medium-stage of Earth Realmcultivators.

Each one is known to have a rich fighting experience, and their vitalenergy forces have been compacted inside their bodies making thempowerful fighters.

I assume that they all belong to the Blood Wolf Team.

So, they will be tough to deal with. I'm afraid I can't do this alone.While it may not be hard to get rid of them, I am telling you it will notbe simple if I want to kill them all

"Humph! With this never-ending battle with the Blood Wolf Team, I'mcertain they want me dead, but I want to kill them even more!"

After saying this, Austin pondered about their situation.

"Hahaha! Master, you can certainly try. We have a premium stage ofEarth Realm cultivator, as well as a medium stage of Earth Realmcultivator. Since you're not weak and have several trump cards on hand,there are few opponent in your realm who was able to fight you.Perhaps, we can kill five people altogether.”

"A premium stage and medium stage of Earth Realm cultivators?"Austin mumbled.

Although stunned, Austin immediately understood the implication."Violet, do you mean to say that you've made a breakthrough?

And your strength is equivalent to a medium stage Earth Realmcultivator?”
