In the Myriad Kingdoms Territory, both talisman masters and puppeteers were considered amateurs. However, in the three Imperial Domains, there was a strict system.
As for the alchemist, Long Chen roughly knew that Situ Yu was an alchemist in the Devil Clan of the Primordial Cemetery. Alchemists could combine various spiritual herbs, burn them with alchemy fire, and cultivate them with strict alchemy techniques. With this, they could refine pills with various effects. Some pills even had heaven-defying effects with only simple raw materials.
"The number of alchemists is no less than that of puppeteers. In Redwater City, there are dozens of alchemists and talisman masters. The strongest alchemists and talisman masters are all guests of the city. Every year, they are rewarded with a large number of Imperial Crystals. Of course, the Divine Oracle Pill can't be made by the alchemists of Redwater City. The Divine Oracle Pill of the Redwater Chamber of Commerce was bought from someone else at a low price. That's just what I heard, I don't know if it's true."
When the Divine Oracle Pill was mentioned, Long Chen blinked. Even Zhao Kongming was interested in the Divine Oracle Pill. What could it do?
"Wan 'er, do you know what it can do?" asked Long Chen in a low voice.
"The Heaven Oracle Pill is a type of medicine that is extremely difficult to successfully concoct. Only alchemists who have reached the advanced level of the Heaven realm can concoct it, and those who have reached the advanced level of the Heaven realm, which is around the 9th level of the Heaven realm, can only concoct Heaven Oracle Pills of relatively low quality."
"Low-quality Divine Oracles contain the secrets of the Sky Martial Realm. It can help people in the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm to break through to the Sky Martial Realm. It can also help people in the first or second level of the Sky Martial Realm to break through to the third level of the Sky Martial Realm."
"I guess Jun 'er's teacher wants to give the Divine Oracle Pill to someone else. Although it's precious, it's useless to us."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I see."
"How many Imperial Crystals can a Divine Oracle Pill be auctioned for?" asked Long Chen.
"This … I'm not too sure. It should be around a thousand Emperor Crystals. But who would compete with the Netherworld Army in this auction? So he should only need a few hundred Emperor Crystals to win this Heaven Fate Pellet."
Long Chen nodded in realization.
After talking for a while, it was already late at night. Although Xiong Wan'er was a little reluctant, she knew that she couldn't stay here any longer. After all, she was a girl, so she got up and said goodbye.
"Let's go back. I'll give you a ride tomorrow," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Big Brother Long Chen." Xiong Wan 'er's eyes were filled with gratitude.
After she left, Long Chen slowly digested the knowledge he had just obtained.
"Tian Ji Pill. This Tian Ji Pill can save me at least a year of cultivation time. However, I only have Emperor Crystals with me. Where can I find a thousand Emperor Crystals?"
A penny stumped a hero. Long Chen finally understood the pain of not having money.
He learned from Xiong Wan'er that the auction would be held in ten days. Where could he find a thousand Emperor Crystals?
To be honest, what Long Chen wanted the most was to quickly become stronger. When he heard about the effects of the Heaven Fate Pellet, he had already made up his mind to get it.
Zhao Kongming had already said that the auction would be conducted according to the normal rules. Zhao Kongming was only giving the Heaven Fate Pellet away. If the price was higher than he expected, he might not buy it. Long Chen wanted to try his luck. Others might not dare to raise the price against Zhao Kongming, but he did.
Moreover, he was the kind of person who didn't treat money as money.
"If I want to go to the Swordspirit Imperial Domain, I have to reach the God Martial Realm. I don't have much time left. I can slowly waste my time in the Heaven Martial Realm." Long Chen stood up, opened the window and looked at the boundless night.
"Something's not right. Little Cat, why were those six beasts able to pass through the Fragmented Star Sea and reach the Desolate Emperor Realm when they were only grade nine Martial Monarchs?" Long Chen suddenly thought of this question.
Perhaps there was another way to go to the Imperial Domain without reaching the God Martial Realm.
If that was the case, he wouldn't have to be so anxious.
In the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed since he made the vow of ten years. He didn't have much time to waste.
"The Monster Clan, rank nine Emperor Realm, already possess an extremely powerful physical body. They can pass through the Shattered Star Sea with some difficulty. The God Martial Realm is only the standard for you humans."
Kitten's ruthless words made Long Chen's mood fall to the bottom.
"If you really want to do it, don't think you can get lucky. There are no shortcuts in this world. Besides, if you go to the Swordspirit Imperial Domain without the strength of the God Martial Realm, you'll just be looking for humiliation. So, before reaching the God Martial Realm, it's best not to go there."
"Fat Cat, I didn't expect you to be able to say something sensible at a critical moment like this." Long Chen's mouth curled into a smile.
Kitten was right. Long Chen had indeed been a little impatient.
"Get lost! I'm handsome and elegant. How could I be an idiot?"
Little Cat argued. His furry little body came out of the Great Virtual Realm. If it wasn't for the fact that his voice was a little unpleasant to the ears, just by looking at his appearance, he would definitely be an absolutely adorable creature.
Suddenly, Long Chen realized that Kitten's body had changed a little.
He couldn't tell what had changed. It looked the same on the outside, but the inside seemed to have changed a lot. This Dream Demon was no longer the original Dream Demon.
"You noticed it?" Kitten said proudly with a smug expression on her face.
"You've changed."
"Hehe, after working hard day and night, I've finally succeeded in transforming this little fellow into a Monstrous Beast with potential. Just watch."
After saying that, the furry Kitten disappeared in front of Long Chen.
Even the aura that belonged to a monster disappeared without a trace.
Only by using the Spirit Devouring Demon Eye could Long Chen realize that Kitten's Dream Demon body had been swaying in front of his eyes.
With a swoosh, its body recovered in front of Long Chen.
"See? It's amazing, isn't it? Don't you worship Grandpa Cat?" The kitten looked up to the sky and laughed proudly.
"What's going on?" Long Chen asked.
"Just now, that was the Invisibility Turtle Breathing Technique. It made you completely unable to sense my presence. Even if you saw me, I could use the Dream Demon's illusion technique to make others think that they didn't see me. This is my transformation of the Dream Demon. Haha, from today onwards, I can peek at all kinds of beauties bathing and touch all kinds of beauties secretly. Haha."
"You." Long Chen smiled helplessly.
However, he was still very happy in his heart. With this skill, he could leave Long Chen and go find out a lot of things. With the Void Dragon Talisman, even if he encountered danger, Long Chen could summon him back at any time.
The Invisibility Turtle Breathing Technique combined with the Dream Demon's illusion technique could really bring out a lot of effects. At least if Kitten went outside, with his ability, very few people could see him and hurt him. With this skill, he could be considered as a peeping tom or a thief.
"However, there's a bad news for you."
"What?" Long Chen asked carefully.
"After my transformation, this Dream Demon's illusion technique can be used to deal with stronger enemies. However, becoming stronger requires support. From today onwards, you must let me eat a lot of elixirs. As long as there's spiritual energy, medicinal pills will do. Of course, if that's not possible, I can reluctantly accept emperor crystals. As long as it's edible, I won't reject it."
"Go to hell, you're adding to my burden." Long Chen rewarded him with a punch.
At a time when he had no money, this little guy still came to join in the fun. He was simply asking for a beating.
"Aiyo, it's so late at night. I was just talking about elixirs, medicinal pills, and emperor crystals, and now someone is delivering them." Kitten laughed and said.
After saying that, he very consciously went into the Void Realm. Long Chen's eyes lit up. Earlier, outside the window, there was a palm-sized bird flying towards him.
With a grab, Long Chen grabbed the bird in his hand. This wasn't a real bird, but a puppet bird. There was a simple rune on its body. At this moment, in the night, it was flickering with a hazy light.
There was a warm energy in the chest of the puppet bird. Long Chen guessed that this was the source of the puppet bird's energy.
With a cracking sound, the puppet bird was crushed by Long Chen. The fragments floated in the air, and after a while, they completely disappeared.
A small note appeared in Long Chen's hand. On it was written: "If you have the guts, come to the outskirts of Redwater City alone, 500 meters in front of the city gate."
The person who signed it was Liu Qinger, who Long Chen had provoked during the day.
After being asked by Zhao Kongming, she said that she didn't want to argue with Long Chen. However, she still remembered in her heart that in Redwater City, Long Chen was the first person to be so rude as to point the spear in his hand at her neck.
"This Liu Qinger is from the Redwater Chamber of Commerce. The Redwater Chamber of Commerce is the organizer of this auction, so this woman must have a lot of money on her."
No wonder Kitten said that someone was coming to deliver money.
"Is Liu Qinger so sure that I will keep the appointment?"
If it wasn't for the Tianji Elixir, Long Chen naturally wouldn't have bothered to provoke her. Presumably, she was just trying. She probably didn't expect that Long Chen would really go.
In reality, this was the situation. Liu Qinger threw a tantrum when she couldn't kill Long Chen. Qian Canglong chased her out of Redwater City. After some coaxing and promises, he finally settled Liu Qinger. After some entanglement in the wild, Liu Qinger thought of Long Chen. She was still angry, so she came up with this idea to see if she could lure Long Chen out.
"He's not a fool. Why would he come here?" Qian Canglong asked seriously.
