How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 421 - 0416: Three Kingdoms Auction

The large auction of the Three Kingdoms was held in a city not far behind Red Cover City.

Several months in advance, the Three Kingdoms Alliance had started preparing for it.

After all, this grand auction was meant to serve the high-level strong ones of the Three Kingdoms, allowing them to sell the treasures they don’t need in exchange for the items they desire, thus promoting the enhancement of the overall strength of the strong ones in the Three Kingdoms.

On the very day the news became known, Chen Yu left the city and rushed to the auction venue.

Although the grand auction had not yet started, the place had already turned into a large trading area, filled with numerous markets and stalls, bustling with people, and looking quite lively.

When Chen Yu arrived, the guards at the city gate immediately saluted, "Elder Chen, we welcome you with respect."

At the same time, outside the gate or within the interior, many people involuntarily looked over.

"Look quickly, it is Elder Chen, the youngest Alliance Elder."

Many young men turned their gazes toward Chen Yu as if looking at an idol, their eyes filled with admiration.

"So that is Chen Yu? So young and good-looking, but more importantly, he’s strong and holds high status."

The women, on the other hand, were even more excited, whispering among themselves, exchanging information they had on Chen Yu and occasionally letting out a few screams.

"It seems that being too famous is not necessarily a good thing."

Chen Yu frowned slightly, feeling the stares of a crowd wherever he went.

And by the looks of it, many admirers were eager to approach, especially some of the women, who seemed ready to come over and strike up a conversation.

Immediately, Chen Yu released his aura, unleashing a terrifying demon might that made him appear a bit more fierce and domineering, greatly increasing his deterrence and unsettling the surrounding crowd.

Thereafter, Chen Yu went to the auction venue.

As early as a month ago, the auction had started receiving various consignment items.

"Elder Chen, please come this way."

A high-ranking official of the auction saw Chen Yu’s arrival and personally guided him.

In a short while, Chen Yu was brought to a separate room. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he found the room completely isolated from the outside world.

Soon, two elders walked in.

"Chen Yu, it’s been years. Do you still remember me?"

An elder with a goat beard laughed heartily.

"Master Gu?"

Chen Yu’s expression turned to one of surprise, then he smiled.

This elder with a goat beard was the same Artifact Refining Master from the Chu Family who had refined treasures for Chen Yu on many occasions; he naturally remembered him.

"Elder Chen, this is our first meeting. My surname is Yu."

The other elder looked rather composed, glancing at Chen Yu briefly.

Chen Yu knew they must be the Appraisers.

"Elder Chen, do you have any items you wish to consign for auction?"

Master Gu took the initiative to ask.

The elder surnamed Yu also turned his attention to Chen Yu.

Under their gaze, Chen Yu took out fifteen high-grade treasures, and instantly, the dim room was illuminated with the dazzling luster of various treasures.

Master Gu’s eyes immediately sparkled, taking a sharp intake of breath. Master Yu couldn’t help but turn to give Chen Yu a serious look.

The fifteen high-grade treasures that Chen Yu brought out were mostly excellent, with the top-tier ones following. There were even two king-level treasures among them.

They had originally assumed that since Chen Yu was young, he wouldn’t have many treasures concealed.

However, as soon as Chen Yu made his move, he astounded them.

These fifteen high-grade treasures, being in Chen Yu’s possession, were a waste. If other Cultivators were to win them in the auction, the strength of fifteen strong ones could be enhanced.

Moreover, among them were two high-grade king-level treasures, which even for the two masters, were dazzling in their eyes.

Master Gu’s gaze swept over all the treasures, finally settling on one of the high-grade king-level treasures.

It was the Dark Snake Sword he had refined for Chen Yu on two past occasions.

Initially, this sword served as Chen Yu’s trump card, accompanying him for a lengthy period.

But as Chen Yu’s cultivation improved, the sword became less useful. Then, considering the original material was also of lower quality, even with further refining, the room for improvement was limited, which is why Chen Yu decided to sell it.

"I didn’t expect to encounter Master Gu at this appraisal meeting. We’ve known each other for many years, so I’ll gift you this Dark Snake Sword."

Noticing Master Gu’s emotions, Chen Yu said with a smile in the end.

This Dark Snake Sword, a work into which Master Gu had poured his heart and soul, was now of no use to Chen Yu. Yet he was going to auction it off, causing Master Gu to feel somewhat disheartened.

Thus, Chen Yu gifted the sword, a treasure that Master Gu had refined twice, to the elder.

"How can this be?"

Master Gu was startled, then immediately protested.

The object in question was a high-grade king-level treasure, and Chen Yu was just giving it to him.

"Although the item is precious, the fact that Master Gu has refined treasures for me twice is even more precious."

Chen Yu spoke lightheartedly, then picked up the Dark Snake Sword and actively handed it to Master Gu.

Though verbally refusing, Master Gu was deeply moved by the sword and accepted it with respect.

Beside him, Master Yu stared, dumbfounded, cursing in his heart how lucky Master Gu was to have connected with Chen Yu back then and now to receive a high-grade king-level treasure for free.

"Alright, let’s start working."

Master Yu coughed dryly and immediately started evaluating the remaining fourteen high-grade treasures, determining their grade and function meticulously.

However, he wasn’t proficient in the weapon aspect, and the bulk of the appraisal needed to be done by Master Gu.

After a while, the appraisal of the fourteen treasures was completed.

The two masters really wanted to ask where Chen Yu got all these treasures from, but they also knew it was an intrusion on personal privacy, and it was presumptuous and could possibly offend Chen Yu.

"Hold on, there’s more."

Just as the two masters thought the appraisal was over and were about to send off Chen Yu, he suddenly spoke up.

"More?"

The two masters’ eyes lit up, their faces brimming with joy.

Following that, Chen Yu took out four treasures from the "Smoke-spitting Pearl."

"High-grade treasures!"

The two masters exclaimed in unison.

Chu Country lacked resources unlike Yun Zhao Country.

For example, in Yun Zhao, a small portion of cultivators in the Guiyuan Realm had Spiritual Artifacts, but in Chu Country, the common Guiyuan Realm cultivators might still use high-grade treasures, and those with Half Spirit Artifacts were extremely rare.

Therefore, it was astonishing for Chen Yu to take out four high-grade treasures all at once. Of course, another reason was the exceptionally high quality of these four high-grade treasures.

This time, Master Gu spent a considerably longer time to appraise the four high-grade treasures and was reluctant to put them down.

Now Master Gu realized that the High Grade King-level Treasure to Chen Yu really wasn’t much.

"Next are the exotic materials and ores."

Just when they thought it was over, Chen Yu took out some more items, causing a buzz in the heads of the two masters.

Especially Master Yu, upon seeing the exotic materials Chen Yu took out, his face entirely changed, showing a mix of surprise, delight, and excitement.

Master Yu was an Alchemy Master himself, and Chen Yu had brought out some extremely precious materials, some of which were so rare that Master Yu had only seen them in ancient herbal texts.

With a heart full of trepidation and excitement, Master Yu completed the appraisal.

This time, Chen Yu didn’t shock them anymore and prepared to leave.

"Elder Chen, you probably aren’t here just to auction items at the auction but to bid as well," Master Yu said with a smile, even changing his form of address.

"Hmm, I will see," Chen Yu replied noncommittally.

"The old man has an auction list here; so far, it has a record of all the items to be auctioned. I’ll give it to Elder Chen now, hoping you won’t spread it around."

Elder Yu took out a folded piece of paper from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu’s eyes lit up slightly, he smiled, and took the paper, "Thank you, Master Yu."

"If Elder Chen needs any alchemy in the future, you can also find this old man."

Master Yu continued.

One must know that Master Yu’s Alchemy skills ranked among the top three in the Three Kingdoms, and countless cultivators offered heavy gifts to socialize with Master Yu.

However, at this moment, Master Yu took the initiative to offer benefits and sought to make a connection with Chen Yu.

Of course, Master Yu was interested in the exotic materials that Chen Yu had just brought out, many of which he was seeing for the first time.

As an alchemist, those unknown materials attracted him more than the high-grade treasures.

With these materials, he could concoct many elixirs that he had been unable to create or had failed to produce in the past.

"In that case, I will trouble you when the time comes."

Chen Yu naturally agreed, as the other party was reaching out willingly and without asking for any price.

Afterward, the two masters personally escorted Chen Yu out of the appraisal room.

Leaving the auction, Chen Yu rented a room here to stay temporarily.

He took out the paper given by Elder Yu and began to read it.

This was a large auction of the Three Kingdoms, where all the strong figures of the three countries would come to consign items; therefore, the list of items was very extensive and dazzling.

Of course, most things were not eye-catching to Chen Yu.

"Hey, among the three exotic materials needed by the Red Flame King, two appeared here."

Chen Yu showed a pleased expression.

After all, those remaining three materials, while not incredibly expensive, were rather rare and seldom seen.

And this large auction, gathering the strong figures of the Three Kingdoms, all sorts of strange items might appear.

Lastly, Chen Yu took an interest in one item—the Blood Sun Stone.

This gem contained pure Blood Dao Power and Fire Dao Yang force, making it the perfect nourishment for the "Blood Crystal Flame."

Besides that, Chen Yu took note of the finale items on the auction list, such as the "Origin Transformation Pill" that increases the chance of breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, and a precious treasure "Bishui Divine Marrow Stone" that can enhance the cultivation of Guiyuan Realm powerhouses, and also a "Half Spirit Artifact."

One could imagine that these items would cause a frenzied competition among the strong figures of the Three Kingdoms when the time came.

Having scanned the list of items, Chen Yu began to cultivate in seclusion to transform his Half-step True Essence.

In the blink of an eye, over twenty days passed, and the large auction of the Three Kingdoms was about to start.

Chen Yu left his residence, only to see a sea of people outside.

At this moment, top powerhouses who were usually hard to encounter could be seen everywhere, making Chen Yu relatively inconspicuous.

Among the crowd, Chen Yu heard many people discussing the items for the auction, knowing that he was certainly not the only one aware of them.

"Cousin, Cousin..."

Behind him, suddenly came a cheerful and pleasant voice.

Quickly, a young woman in green clothes approached Chen Yu. It was none other than Chen Ying’er.

"I knew Cousin would definitely come back for the auction."

Chen Ying’er said with a chuckle.

"And then, you waited here for me, planning to swindle me?"

Chen Yu guessed Chen Ying’er’s intentions right away.

Chen Ying’er immediately felt embarrassed, her eyes wandering elsewhere.

However, as she looked around, she saw a stunningly beautiful woman surrounded by many people in another area.

"Cousin, look, Sister-in-law is here too."

Chen Ying’er pointed towards a spot, hopping slightly.

"Sister-in-law?"

Chen Yu was taken aback; he had not been married yet.

Still, he looked in the direction she indicated, and his gaze was instantly drawn to the Ice Mountain Fairy in the middle of the crowd—Ye Luofeng.
