Primordial Qi

There is no fifth-level earth fire in the sect's secret treasure pavilion. As the mother fire, it is already the sixth-level earth fire. The sect still has many things that have not been developed. The reserves of high-level resources are not enough at present, and those that are available have been reserved by the people at the Alchemy Peak.

Gu Chenyu told this matter with a sad face, but she unexpectedly asked Gu Chenyu to go to the Savage City thousands of miles away to buy this kind of earth fire and prepared 30,000 high-quality spirit stones.

The Savage City is a city for cultivating immortals. People with a realm lower than the Gathering Spirit Realm are not allowed to enter. It is filled with Spirit Gathering Arrays, as well as countless opportunities and secret treasures. There is even an ancient secret realm, the Savage World, next to it. It is said to be connected to a plane with countless opportunities and inheritances.

The place that Gu Qingxue asked Gu Chenyu to go to was called Sifang Pavilion. As the largest trading place, it was full of magic weapons and spiritual tools taken out from the secret realm. There were countless spiritual objects of heaven and earth here, such as many flames that the alchemist loved the most.

This is different from the Secret Treasure Pavilion of the Qingming Sect. Everything here is purchased through auction. It is the largest auction pavilion in the whole of Nanzhou. It is very likely that one of the Three Kings of Nanzhou is behind it, otherwise he would not be allowed to open auctions all over Nanzhou.

Gu Chenyu came here through the teleportation array of Qingming City. He stayed in the teleportation array for three whole days. The space bridge connected to the most prosperous Savage City in Nanzhou. It was said that this place was once the capital of Savage Country. Its scale was incredible.

"The area here is probably as large as that of the Qingming Sect. The entire area within a radius of three hundred miles is the Savage City." Gu Chenyu swallowed his saliva. What does a radius of three hundred miles mean? Even if you fly across the Savage City, it would be more than six hundred miles.

Gu Chenyu was extremely shocked. How big is this world? It is indeed a large plane composed of countless stars. This is simply beyond human imagination. Even a person at the Emperor Realm may not be able to travel all over the Zhenwu Continent.

The sound transmission jade pendant had lost its effect. Gu Chenyu looked miserable. The distance was too far and the message could not reach Gu Qingxue at all. They were thousands of miles apart, and if something happened to her, he would be in trouble.

"The Savage City prohibits cultivators from flying without permission. Everyone, please abide by the rules here." said a soldier guarding the city. He was full of vigor and had a serious expression. His cultivation had already reached that of a Venerable.

Gu Chenyu was shocked. After going through countless hardships and dangers and consuming a large amount of resources to form the elixir, he could only come here to be a soldier after becoming a Venerable.

Gu Chenyu jumped off the soul ferry with a complicated expression. The Soul Gathering Realm was considered to have broken through the potential of life and could prolong life. The Dan Formation Realm was considered to have broken through the limits of mortals and was no longer a purely mortal body. The Golden Dan Realm even broke through the shackles of the human body and had a lifespan of about 500 years. However, all this was far from enough.

Compared with the mortal body, the realm of heaven and man is a huge chasm. Once you cross it, you are no longer an ordinary person, but an immortal. You can initially comprehend the power of the laws, and your strength is far beyond that of a Venerable.

I've heard of stories about masters killing venerables of a higher level, but I've never heard of a venerable killing a celestial being of a higher level. Even if a celestial being is just going through a mortal thunder tribulation, it is no match for a venerable. When the power of the law is used, the venerable is just a mortal and can be crushed to death with just one finger.

“If I don’t reach the level of a celestial being, I will never be able to attain the essence of martial arts. I cannot be considered a strong person, and I don’t know when I will be able to reach that level.”

Walking on the streets of Savage City, he asked around for the whereabouts of Sifang Pavilion. It turned out to be in the center of Savage City. The attic that stood before him like a mountain was Sifang Pavilion. It was so huge that standing next to it was like an ant.

There are nine floors in the Sifang Pavilion. The top three floors sell shocking items and are generally not open to the public. The first floor sells third-tier magic weapons, and each additional floor sells higher-tier items. Many items are displayed inside, and the starting price and auction time are marked in order to attract aristocratic families and cultivators to buy.

Going to the third floor, there is an auction of fifth-tier magic weapons, but unfortunately the Qianhai Earth Core Flame that Gu Chenyu wants is not there.

Going up one level, there are sixth-rank magic weapons. Most of those who come here are venerables and celestial beings. Only by purchasing magic weapons that are one level higher than their own realm can they gain power over their levels. These people are all disciples of aristocratic families, and each of them is extremely wealthy.

After walking around, Gu Chenyu learned from people that this item, the sixth-level Qianhai Earth Core Flame Mother Fire, was being auctioned at an auction at this moment, and many alchemists were also bidding for it.

Led by a charming woman, Gu Chenyu came to a room in the auction hall. Many places were auctioning different items at the same time. Those with clearly marked prices were all attractive. The real good things would only appear later and would not be made public, such as the Qianhai Earth Heart Flame.

He was willing to let people see his features while wearing a veil, using his spiritual power to shield his face from detection by others.

As a famous underground fire in the South China Sea, a large trading house like Sifang Pavilion could not possibly not have it. The starting price is 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Chenyu finally saw the light blue flame appear in front of him. Its surface was light blue, but the middle was dark blue with the breath of the sea. This was already a sky fire level existence.

In just three minutes, the earth fire had already exceeded one million medium-grade spirit stones. Gu Chenyu couldn't help but be amazed. The price doubled every minute, and he didn't know if he could buy it.

"Twelve thousand top-grade spirit stones." Gu Chenyu said, holding up the sign.

"Top-grade spirit stones? One million and two hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone willing to raise the price?"

"Three million mid-grade spirit stones." Someone made a generous bid. This was the sixth-rank earth fire, which was already at the celestial level. The last thing an alchemist had was spirit stones, so they didn't even bother to make a bid.

Gu Chenyu's old face turned red. He only had 30,000 high-grade spirit stones on him, but these guys took away so many at once.

He left here awkwardly. This place was not for a poor guy like him. Things at the sixth level were indeed extremely precious.

"Why did this little brother come out? But the magic weapon behind is not satisfactory?" A woman with a slender waist walked towards Gu Chenyu, her tone was evil and there was a faint floral fragrance emanating from her body.

"I'm short of money and dare not fight for it anymore." Gu Chenyu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Young master spent 12,000 high-quality spirit stones right away. How can you say that you are short of money? It's just that many alchemists came this time, so the price is a lot higher." The woman explained.

Gu Chenyu gave a bitter smile. He was also an alchemist, a quasi-third-grade alchemist. It was really difficult for him to find a high-level flame.

"Don't worry, young master. I have a deal I want to discuss with you. I'm sure this is your first time visiting my Sifang Pavilion and you don't quite understand the rules here. Our Sifang Pavilion not only has auctions, but also other services." The woman blinked her eyes, Gu Chenyu frowned and immediately moved away.

"Hehe, young master is really easy to tease. He must be very young, but he has already reached the Venerable level at such a young age. The power behind him must be complicated." The woman smiled coquettishly, somewhat seductively, especially the pair of snow-white legs that were about to burst out. A ravine could be seen in the low-necked clothes, which made people couldn't help but think of something wrong.

"I don't have any power behind me, and even if I did, it wouldn't be as powerful as Sifang Pavilion." Gu Chenyu replied, "If there is something to discuss, we can talk, but if it's something unimportant, maybe I should leave early."

"Don't worry, sir. I have a seller who is also selling a piece of Qianhai Earth Core Flame. It comes from the same place as the one at the auction, but its grade is a little lower and cannot be put up for auction. If you want it, you might as well give it a try."

Gu Chenyu nodded and followed the woman to a small room where an old man was anxiously waiting. The two flames were both ones he found in the South China Sea, but one of them was more tenacious and it took him a lot of effort to extinguish it, resulting in the current flame being of low quality and not being able to be put up for auction.

"Qianhai Dixinyan, who is this woman? I have a feeling she is not a good person."
