Chapter 21: The Philosopher’s Stone Appeared!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Philosopher’s Stone was a consumable item for the god of destruction bloodline and the god of healing bloodline.
However, this item could not only be used by the inheritors of two bloodlines. If ordinary cultivators gathered five fragments and combined them into the Philosopher’s Stone, they could also use it to level up to one star.
It was a rare treasure! To be able to see one or two fragments was really lucky!
“Please begin the bidding!”
In the auction house, discussions instantly broke out. Everyone’s eyes were burning with desire to give it a try!
“Aiya, the god of destruction bloodline and the god of healing bloodline are already extinct. Why are we snatching them?”
“Is it new? The effects are similar to ordinary crystals. Who would spend a large amount of money to buy it!”
In the seats, a few voices suddenly came from somewhere. It was the truth, and everyone agreed with it.
The auctioneer ignored them. The moment he hammered the hammer, shouts came from every corner of the hall!
“One hundred!”
“One hundred and fifty!”
Feng Zhi hugged her shoulders and looked coldly at the hypocritical expressions on their faces. It was clear that she wanted everyone to back down and snatch the Philosopher’s Stone for herself.
She had to get the Philosopher’s Stone!
As the price reached 200 gold coins, everyone slowly backed out of the auction.
Five pieces of fragments could be combined into a Philosopher’s Stone, which meant that a stone would cost more than 1000 gold coins.
It was not worth it to buy a mere crystal stone with all their money!
After all, no one was as stupid as Feng Lan, who was easily angered due to her face. She relied on the large sects to buy the magic crystals with 200 gold coins!
“250 gold coins!”
Feng Zhi suddenly raised her hand, shocking everyone so much that they could not close their mouths.
This was the young miss of the Feng family, right? She was crazy to level up!
Not to mention that the price was too expensive, the more important thing was that this Philosopher’s Stone was only a fragment. The probability of the fragment appearing was not high, and it was very difficult to gather all of them. Even if they managed to buy this piece, they might not necessarily encounter other fragments. Otherwise, the price could be even higher.
What was the difference between this and gambling?
The auctioneer narrowed his eyes slightly and struck the drum. “Two hundred and fifty. First Time…”
“Two hundred and sixty.”
Who was it?
Feng Zhi abruptly turned her head, but her eyes met Chu Yao’s bottomless eyes. He waved his paper fan and shrugged as he chuckled.
“Thank you for letting me win!”
“Two hundred and eighty.”
Feng Zhi raised the price, and Chu Yao followed closely behind, unwilling to show any weakness. The situation was anxious, and the spectators became nervous as well, cracking their melon seeds loudly.
“Three hundred!”
Feng Zhi gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Chu Yao. What was he trying to do!!
Was he deliberately trying to argue with her? If he still wanted to raise the bid, then the gold coins that he had swindled from Feng Lan would not be enough to continue raising the bid!
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her nervous palm, but her expression did not show any traces of it.
“Here, let the lady have It!”
Chu Yao thought for two seconds, and at this moment, he was showing his elegant demeanor as he said gracefully.
His flowery peacock-like appearance caused the surrounding women to exclaim incessantly. They exclaimed, “young master is so kind-hearted!”
Kind-hearted? Hmph!
Feng Zhi dug out all of her assets and kept the Philosopher’s Stone into her interspatial ring. She looked at Chu Yao!
He was obviously doing it on purpose to raise the prices of goods! This heart was simply too vicious!
“Hey, little girl… Don’t you want to thank me?” Chu Yao stopped Feng Zhi who was about to leave.
Feng Zhi raised her hand and slapped it away. She looked back and scoffed, “hehe!”
Chu Yao looked at her disappearing figure at the corner of the street with interest. He waved his paper fan gently and shook his head with a faint smile.
“Such a temper. If the other party was not you… I would definitely snatch it.”
…
Back at the academy, Feng Zhi passed by a deep forest. She took out the fragment of the Philosopher’s Stone and felt the faint energy that appeared.
Things seemed to be going more smoothly than she had imagined!
“Little girl, you’ve only found one-fifth of it. What’s there to be happy about?” The demon dragon poured cold water on her.
Feng Zhi was in a good mood and could not be bothered to bicker with it.
“Listen, ahead, fifty meters to the left, there’s a treasure land at the end. I can feel the rich spiritual energy, it’s very suitable for your cultivation…”
“Aiya! Wait, this little girl, she’s too impatient!”
Before the demon dragon could finish his sentence, Feng Zhi made a hand seal and stepped on a few green leaves of the hollow bamboo as she dashed towards that place.
When she reached the place, Feng Zhi was a little disappointed.
She lowered her head and found that in front of her was a deep well-like cave. It was filled with fog and mixed with frost particles. As she approached, she immediately felt a chill.
“Is this the place?” She asked.
The demon dragon yawned lazily. “This place looks unremarkable, but it’s a thousand-year-old ice cave that leads to the underground.”
“If your water-type bloodline is here, your cultivation speed will be doubled, and you’ll be able to obtain pure spiritual power, which will help you break through and advance…”
Hearing this, Feng Zhi lifted her leg and was about to jump in, but the demon dragon quickly stopped her. “Hey, Hey, Hey! There’s a drawback! There’s a drawback!”
“If you jump in, your body will probably suffer some pain. A thousand-year-old ice is hard for an ordinary person to resist…”
Feng Zhi’s eyes were filled with disdain as she fell directly into the ice. Her eyes and skin were instantly covered with frost. The bone-piercing pain caused her heart to almost stop beating.
“As long as I can advance! I don’t care…”
“So what if I suffer!”
