lightsΝοvel AST 2456 - Advance Paragon Pill, Accidental Contact

Qing Shui didn't take any fancy on the few things that followed and He Fan didn't bid either. However, shortly after, when another item was brought up, Qing Shui's eyes lit up when it was revealed.

It was a snow-white pearl that was placed in a porcelain bottle. The pearl was the size of a child's fist.

"This is an Advance Paragon Pill. It can let demonic beast's blood lineage advance a lot in their varying aspects. It is unsure how much the increment is. The bidding will start. The bids will only be accepted if the seller is satisfied with the items," The beautiful lady said calmly.

This was how such auctions were like. People would place bids and the items would be compared. However, the freedom to establish a transaction would still be in the seller. The seller could close the bidding at any moment, such as in the event that they came across things that they very much liked.

"Three Dragonforce Pill s!" He Fan placed a porcelain bottle onto the jade table.

He Fan bid once again. The value of three Dragonforce Pill s wouldn't lose out much to that of the value of this Advance Paragon Pill. The Advance Paragon Pill was used for demonic beasts while the Dragonforce Pill was used for humans. The He Clan was a great influence after all. Once they wished to get their hands on something, even if they were to rely on their backgrounds, they would bring out something of the same value or higher. Otherwise, they would be seen as a joke.

"Two Constitution Nurturing Pills." Qing Shui made his bid as well.

Qing Shui needed this Advance Paragon Pill and genuinely wasn't trying to fight with He Fan. However, to others, it didn't seem to be the case. It was because during the first auction, Qing Shui had wrested the Immortal Jade Cauldron from He Fan's hands. In the other auctions, neither He Fan nor Qing Shui made any bids. However, when He Fan bid in that round, Qing Shui bid once again, despite the fact that other people didn't.

There had been people who had wanted to bid. The He Clan was very big, but a young master from the He Clan wasn't someone that could dominate over the situation. It was just that many people held reservations toward the He Clan who backed him up.

Therefore, the others didn't make a move after seeing that Qing Shui had done so. Some people thought that Qing Shui was looking for trouble for He Fan, or that this young man really needed the item. Even if it was a competition, it wouldn't be an issue. Therefore, none of them made a move for the moment but merely looked from the side, waiting to see how things would develop.

He Fan sent a cold gaze towards Qing Shui and he frowned slightly, before he opened his mouth and said, "Five Dragonforce Pill s!"

"Four Constitution Nurturing Pills!" Qing Shui spoke again without raising an eyelid.

Qing Shui knew that he had completely offended this man from the He Clan. So be it. It wasn't a big deal.

He Fan didn't raise the bid anymore and the other people didn't make a sound either. Qing Shui won the Advance Paragon Pill, but just then, He Fan stood up and walked out.

"This young man is going to be in trouble. How much embarrassment will he cause to Young Master He before he is satisfied? Young Master He cares about his reputation the most."

"That's right. If I were that young man, I'd run away quickly and leave the Mortal City, heading off as far as possible."

"Old Jiang, you think that this young man doesn't have any background when he dares to act like this in the Mortal City? He is so lavish with his bids that we're unable to join in. How could his background be simple?" An old man shook his head and said.

"That's true. That means that Young Master He will have to bear with it."

"That might not be the case. Young Master He won't leave things be so easily. However, it's impossible for the He Clan to deal with one single young man using the influence of their entire clan over just a minor thing. This is, unless the young man is really vicious," The old man smiled and said.

Qing Shui smiled. It seemed that the old man had the intention of helping him, telling him that as long as he didn't go overboard, the He Clan wouldn't do much to him.

There were no other good items up for auction. At the very least, they were useless to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui assessed the Immortal Jade Cauldron. He planned on using it to improve the Divine Weapon Flying Sword. Although it was a bit of a waste, he saw that the Immortal Jade Cauldron had a unique effect—to increase the quality of some special things.lightsnovel

Raising the quality would be the same as raising the aptitude. This made Qing Shui very agitated. The Divine Weapon Flying Sword's quality was not bad at the current moment, but it could only be considered to be of the divine mystic-grade. Qing Shui's Flying Sword had four grades—divine heaven-grade, divine earth-grade, divine mystic-grade, and the divine yellow-grade. The Flying Sword was considered a Divine Grade but was only at the divine mystic-grade level.

Divine Grade was the highest level of existence in each grade, just like how it was for divine artifacts. For example, although there were many divine artifacts, most of them were classified as divine yellow-grade divine artifacts. A divine yellow-grade artifact was worlds apart from a divine mystic-grade artifact.

Still, divine yellow-grade artifacts were also very precious. For example, Qing Shui's Golden Battle Halberd was a divine yellow-grade artifact. However, it had a powerful characteristic that could allow it to be on par with some divine mystic-grade artifacts.

The Immortal Jade Cauldron could increase the quality of some special items by one level. Therefore, Qing Shui's first choice was to improve the Flying Sword. Right now, the Flying Sword was a divine mystic-grade artifact and after raising one level to the divine-earth grade, its prowess was definitely extremely effective. The increment would be a lot.

There was nothing else that appeared which Qing Shui had taken a fancy to and thus he didn't make any bids. This gave many people the impression that Qing Shui had intentionally fought with He Fan.

Qing Shui stood up and headed out. The auction had already ended. However, at that moment, the beautiful lady walked over and said, "Mister, please hold on!"

Qing Shui turned and looked at the woman standing before him. A gushing sense of seduction caused his heart to leap. From a closer view, he could better sense that intense seduction. She had an exquisite face, seductive eyes, yet was extremely pure. Her curvy and demonic figure was even better compared to young married ladies. The thing that made Qing Shui unable to hold back the most was the fact that she was still a virgin.

If this wasn't the case, Qing Shui wouldn't feel a thing no matter how seductive she was.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Qing Shui withdrew his gaze and asked.

"If you were to head out now, you might have some trouble. Why don't I send you out from another exit?" The lady suggested.

Qing Shui was stunned and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. We need to assure our customers' safety." The lady said softly and turned to lead Qing Shui to another side.

"Will He Fan really take action against me?" Qing Shui asked casually.

"Did Mister just come to the Mortal City?" The corners of the lady's lips curled up, hinting a smile.

"I've been here for a couple of days." Qing Shui didn't hide anything.

"He Fan is from the He Clan and his talent isn't bad. It's just that he is a bit petty, or rather, very petty. His greatest characteristic is that he cares about his reputation a lot. If someone were to bring him shame, he'd ask for payback at any expense. Of course, whether or not he manages to get payback is dependent on his own feeling." The lady explained.

"A person like him is really nothing to fear. He won't be able to achieve much." Qing Shui shook his head and smiled.

"Mister sounds very confident. Pardon me for asking, but do you have any feuds with the He Clan?" The lady turned and looked at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui hadn't expected that she would suddenly stop and turn her head, and ended up getting too close. Although he immediately stopped himself, and usually such accidents wouldn't occur for people at his level, Qing Shui was distracted by something else. Although he stopped in time, he still pressed against her well-rounded and perky butt.

The lady's butt was too good. Qing Shui's lower body pressed against it and her astonishing bounciness caused Qing Shui's body to perk up. He instinctively bent and backed off, causing his head to reach forward unconsciously. Previously, his face was only less than an inch away from hers, and now, their lips were pressing right against each other.
