Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 64 - 63: Top Grade Refining Materials, Essence of Geng Metal

Chapter 64: Chapter 63: Top Grade Refining Materials, Essence of Geng Metal

This incident nearly made Qi Shengyuan vomit blood with anger.

He remained vigilant, fearing this could be bait secretly set by the Soul Catching Sect, aiming to capture all of them, who escaped their net, in one go.

But on the other hand, Qi Shengyuan still harbored a glimmer of hope. Since no whispers had spread, it meant that the Qi Family’s painstaking setup deep within the mine for over a century had not been exposed.

As long as he was alive and regained control over the arrangements within the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Extinct Meridian Array, the Qi Family wouldn’t be considered at the end of their resources; they still had hope for a counterattack and resurgence.

But regardless, Zheng Yi, being the chief culprit, must die.

Because on the day of the mine battle, after Zheng Yi killed three members of the Qi Yuan Sect, he seized control of the entire situation. To prevent his information from leaking, he deliberately used the Demon Dao Soul Destruction Skill to erase the memory of that period from all the mortals engaged.

At most, they would suffer headaches for a few days that wouldn’t endanger their lives, but this would save Zheng Yi the trouble of having his capabilities revealed.

On another front, to completely seize the Qi Family, after Qi Lin took the top position, he carried out a thorough purge of the main lineage, where the bloody and cruel struggles need not be elaborated, but it better shielded Zheng Yi.

This led outsiders to believe it was some individuals from the Soul Catching Sect targeting the Qi Family’s main lineage, rather than Zheng Yi, a newly minted Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Inner Sect Disciple, taking action.

For it was simply too illogical otherwise.

Hence, the outside observers have continuously misunderstood and misjudged Zheng Yi’s strength, and Qi Shengyuan was no different—he too was biding his time, amassing power, waiting to take down this enemy.

But, to his surprise, he unexpectedly encountered him in the underground auction house of Youzhong City, a heaven-sent opportunity.

In his eyes, Zheng Yi was already as good as dead.

Moreover, he must be humiliated and tormented to quell the great hatred in his heart.

"What, he’s the chief culprit who destroyed my Qi Family, that Soul Catching Sect disciple?"

The swarthy middle-aged man was also filled with rage upon hearing this, his eyes burning as he clamored, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must not let him go."

"After the auction ends, check if he has any attendants,"

Qi Shengyuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "The most crucial thing now is to acquire that item from the auction."

"The news of the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Extinct Meridian Array hasn’t been spread, proving that the biggest secret of our Qi Family’s main lineage hasn’t been exposed, and there’s hope for our resurgence."

"For years we’ve collected materials for the Five Poison Spirit-Slaying Sword, only lacking the last Essence of the Five Elements. Once the sword array is forged, and the ancestral arrangements beneath the Nine Yin Gathering Evil Extinct Meridian Array are unleashed, what can the Soul Catching Sect possibly do to us?"

"Even if we can’t match them now, we can retreat calmly and return in a few decades to settle this deep-seated blood feud."

"Yes!"

After taking a profound look at Zheng Yi, the middle-aged man suppressed his presence and nodded fiercely.

Fortunately, the soundproofing in the private room ensured that external parties were unaware of the discussions within, and the auction continued.

"Next, we have one of the three finale treasures in this auction, the top-tier material for forging a Flying Sword Magical Artifact, the Essence of Geng Metal!"

A man’s fist-sized, entirely golden ore was placed on a velvet tray and brought up, immediately causing astonishment from both the floor and the stage.

Even Zheng Yi couldn’t help but focus intently, casting a few surprised glances at the ore on stage.

"The Essence of Geng Metal, said to be one of the sharpest minerals beneath the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Such artifact-refining material, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators cannot remain indifferent to it. I never expected to see it at this auction."

This Essence of Geng Metal is one of the most robust raw minerals below the Foundation Establishment Stage, considered a top-grade ore material and a top-grade material for refining Flying Swords.

Incorporating some Essence of Geng Metal into a Flying Sword could increase its sharpness by at least 30%.

A piece this large of the Essence of Geng Metal could at least be refined into a Flying Sword, with its entirety crafted from the Essence of Geng Metal, reaching a level of immensely terrifying power.

Owning such a Flying Sword with the Essence of Geng Metal would significantly boost the combat power of an ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator by several grades. Even for a Flying Sword used by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, only a small portion of this material is typically added.

Such precious material, Zheng Yi had only heard of and was seeing in person for the first time, stirring a desire within him to seize it.

However, he shook his head, dismissing such unrealistic notions.

Not to mention the Essence of Geng Metal’s exceedingly high value, his Spirit Stone resources were nowhere near sufficient.

Even if he obtained this top-grade artifact-refining material, in an unfamiliar place like Youzhong City, it would be easy to become a target for others.

Acquiring a treasure is one thing, but ensuring safe passage with it requires additional skills.

"Everyone!"

Not only Zheng Yi but all the Demon Cultivators present felt a surge of greed.

It must be said that the Essence of Geng Metal is indeed precious, worthy of being considered a rare treasure.

In the dimly lit underground auction house, gusts of invisible tension flowed, intertwining and clashing as if forming the posture of invisible pythons from all angles.

But the next second, they heard a sudden dry cough from the stage by the once-smiling, kindly chubby shopkeeper. The cough resonated like thunder, with an instant chill rising from the feet to the brow, extinguishing the rampant greed in their hearts.

A terrifying aura emanated from the chubby shopkeeper with a smiling face; he appeared harmless, yet was indeed a cultivator in at least the High Tier of Qi Cultivation, possibly the Seventh or Eighth Layers.

This level of strength indeed made him a skilled loose cultivator, and although there were quite a few Demon Cultivators present, many broke into a cold sweat under this oppressive aura, unknowingly reining in their presence.

One expert suppressing an entire room!

This kind of authority represented more than just himself but the backing force behind him as well.

Hosting an underground auction in Youzhong City, one had to either be a crossing dragon or a local serpent with formidable backings, or else such an auction wouldn’t even occur.

"Alright, the auction will continue, cultivators, please place your bids."

"Five thousand."

"Six thousand."

"..."

This auction for the Essence of Geng Metal was on a much grander scale than that for the Blood and Flesh Gourd Seeds, even fiercer, with nearly all the distinguished guests from the private rooms on the second floor participating.

The prices soared with increments of at least a thousand Spirit Stones, quickly reaching thirty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

This staggering price made Zheng Yi, who had initially intended to try bidding, completely give up.

Although through the Qi Family’s caravans, Zheng Yi had amassed a small fortune selling Essence Stones these days, he could afford a few thousand Spirit Stones. However, as for thirty thousand Spirit Stones, it was merely a daydream.
