The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 994
Students in Scarlet Heaven Academy had to complete a number of missions each year.
Of course, one could also complete a large number of missions in one year, then not complete the mission at all for the next few years. This was because cultivators would cultivate in seclusion for months after reaching the Immortal level. In fact, some would even cultivate for several years.
The academy can't take out students for such reasons, right?
The mission Shui Yanyu received was not too difficult. Although it required them to annihilate the pirates, it did not require them to annihilate the entire pirate fleet. They only need to kill a certain number of pirates. Moreover, this mission could be completed repeatedly. As a result, the pirate power would gradually weaken until they were finally completely destroyed.
However, these pirates were based quite far away from the Imperial Capital, and even for cultivators at the Mountain River Level, it would take around 10 days to get there on foot.
Theoretically, Ling Han would be in great danger if he left the Imperial Capital — or even the Academy, for that matter. After all, he had offended many people, and was more than a thorn in the side of the other two Imperial Kingdoms. It was really a bad idea for him to travel that far.
However, Shui Yanyi knew that he had the Spatial God Tool, which meant he would be able to easily escape even if others tried to kill him. Ling Han could not refuse to eat for fear of choking and hiding in the Imperial Capital forever, right? If he did, he would truly become a wasted talent. If he were to hide in the Imperial Capital, reaching the perfect level of the Mountain River Tier would be his absolute limit. He would not be able to reach the Sun Moon Tier, let alone the Heavenly Body Tier.
Ling Han completely agreed with Shui Yanyu's suggestion. He agreed to complete the mission with her after participating in the auction that would be held three days from now.
"Oh that's right. You also bet on me to win, am I right? "Ask Ling Han.
A smile appeared on Shui Yanyu's face as he nodded.
"How much did you bet?"
"10,000 True Origin Stones."
Ling Han smiled in shock, and said, “So it becomes 1,000,000! Haha, you won quite a lot. ”
Even the Left Minister would frown if he had to spend 1,000,000, let alone a fifth-grade power like the Shui Clan.
"That's all thanks to you," Shui Yanyu said with a beautiful smile.

Zhao Lun was not only defeated, but her face was also slapped in public — in shoes, no less. This was of course a big news that quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital. Everyone discussed the matter and speculated how Great General Zhao would react.
However, to everyone's surprise, Great General Zhao issued a statement and scolded Zhao Lun harshly. He strongly condemned the behavior of his son, and anywhere in his statement he did not even mention Ling Han.
This shocked everyone in the Imperial Capital. Great General Zhao was known for being domineering, and Zhao Lun was his only child. He was actually willing to swallow such a great shame?
However, a look of caution appeared on Ling Han's face when he learned of this.
Scolding the harsh Zhao Lun of Great General Zhao looked very righteous, yet he did not mention Ling Han by name even once. It's obviously sort of a — statement my son acted out of bounds, so I scolded him. However, is my son someone who can be humiliated by anyone?
Refusing to mention Ling Han, did he insinuate that Ling Han was bound to be a dead man?
Ling Han pondered this in his mind. 'If Hu Feiyun did not interfere in this matter, would Great General Zhao still issue this statement?
"I will fight the army by hand, and water it with earthbends!"
He originally wanted to remain low and only display his abilities when his cultivation level reached the appropriate height. However, who told him to have a circle of problems that always attracted trouble hovering above his head?
After three days, Ling Han headed to the auction.
This auction was organized by the Imperial Family, and thus no one dared to put up a fake to auction. Similarly, no one dared to raise a malicious bid, nor did anyone dare refuse to pay for their purchase.
The auction house was gigantic, and its interior design was very similar to a battle arena. The auction stage sat in the middle, and the prospective buyer sat on all four sides. The bottom seat was for ordinary buyers, while level two and up were all VIP boxes. In total, there are five levels.
This private box belongs to the Left Minister — only the empress and the Nine Kings are entitled to enter the fifth level. Meanwhile, the fourth level belonged to the Ministers of Left and Right, as well as the Seven Generals and so on.
"You're late!" Li Weiwei said with a grin. "Drink three glasses as punishment!"
Ling Han sat down and took a sip of some wine. It is very rich and aromatic. However, he naturally ignored Li Weiwei's request to drop three glasses as punishment.
“Si stupid fool! Just airing what you did, ” Li Weiwei said sadly.
This auction was extremely grand and high-grade as it was the first auction held after the opening of the Heavenly Sea Mystery Realm. It was clear that Mountain River Stones would be auctioned off today, and perhaps even ones with special attributes would be sold among them. It was just that the latter would be much rarer than the previous one.
Ling Han scanned the auction catalogue, and found that there were 12 ordinary Mountain River Stones to be auctioned. Meanwhile, there were only two special attributes of Mountain River Stones: one metal element, and one water element.
What attracted his interest was that there was a God Flying Appliance that was going to be auctioned as well. It was called the "Cloud Piercing Shuttle", and it could be activated using True Origin Stones. At its peak, its speed was four times that of a cultivator at the perfect level of the Sun Moon Tier.
He would embark on a long journey soon, and if he obtained this Flight God Tool, he would, he did not need to worry about others trying to kill him again — unless his enemies sent a cultivator at the Heavenly Body Tier to chase him.
However, how many cultivators in the Heavenly Body Tier did the entire Peace Planet possess together?
The circumstances surrounding the Heavenly Sea Mystery Realm were special. Otherwise, how could there be so many Heavenly Body Tier elites chasing small cultivators at the Mountain River Tier?
He was determined to obtain this Shuttle Cloud Piercing.
He continued to scan the catalog, only to find that some items were simply labeled very valuable. Besides, there is no other description. Ling Han felt this was very strange.
"Is it really okay to get people interested like this?"
He raised his question with Li Weiwei. He had been to many auctions, so it was likely that he was relatively more experienced.
"In general, items without specific descriptions are all very valuable." Li Weiwei nodded, and continued, "However, that's not always the case. Some items may be extremely rare, but they are of no use to anyone. So, it is not surprising that some of these items do not attract bidders. ”
From the looks of it, he had to put aside money. What if some of those items were beneficial to him?
It is difficult to determine the identity of others because most people sit in a private box. However, the top two levels were reserved for a select few large elites, so it was still relatively easy to deduce who was sitting in which private box.
"Zhao Lun is coming too." Li Weiwei looked around, and humped. "This shameless fellow still has a face to meet others!"
Ling Han was also very surprised. "He just got slapped in public, yet he was willing to show his face again so quickly?"
Ling Han's opinion of Zhao Lun became higher. The fact that he didn't take others' views of him inwardly proved that he actually possessed an aura that dominated a King level cultivator! A true King level cultivator would not care about what others thought of them, and their mindset would not waver no matter what circumstances.
Zhao Lun arrived, and Sha Yuan also arrived. The descendants of the Seven Generals and the Right Minister all arrived as well.
"There are destined to be 'bloody battles' today." Li Weiwei chuckled, and said, "However, no one can defeat me!" He had a whopping 3,000,000 True Origin Stones now.
The auction started soon after.
Ling Han was determined to obtain the Shuttle Cloud Piercing, so he had to use his money carefully. Although Mountain River Stones were desirable, Li Weiwei and Ji Yun'er would both fight for them. He planned to leave this to them.
“Sorry it's been a long time waiting. Now, let the auction begin! ”An elder walked onto the stage with a cheerful smile.
The arena was silent.
