C23 Tathagata's Flames

"Situ Mansion offers two hundred and fifty thousand!" Situ Zongheng said. Alright.

"Martial King Mansion offers three hundred thousand!"

"Zhang family offers 500,000!" An eccentric voice shouted.

Everyone was stunned. Was there a Zhang family in Dragon City? Hong Loongteng winked at Hong Zheng. Hong Zheng instantly understood that this was an actor invited by Hong Loongteng.

Many people cursed this person in their hearts.

"Situ Mansion offers 600,000!"

"Martial King Mansion bids 700,000!"

Everyone knew that this was a huge sum. It would take at least two years for the Hong Mansion to earn enough!

"The Zhang family bids 800,000!"

The other families began to prepare to bid. In order to obtain this Primitive Precious Arts, they began to prepare to use any means necessary!

"Nine hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

" One million and two hundred thousand! "

As the price rose higher and higher, many people were ready to give up. A million Spirit Stone, to some families, was already considered the limit!

"1.5 million!" Situ Zongheng! He said.

"1.6 million!" The people of Martial King Mansion couldn't take it anymore. More than 1 million Spirit Stone had already exceeded their bottom line.

"Situ Mansion offers two million." Situ Zongheng's eyes turned red, as if he had used all his strength.

The scene quieted down. Many families had given up. Two million Spirit Stone was a price they could not afford.

"Two million once. Two million twice. Two million thrice. Deal!" Vice Hall Master smiled. It had been a long time since he had auctioned off a treasure worth two million.

Hong Loongteng was even more delighted. He was calculating how many Spirit Stone he could get. Apart from the four hundred thousand that they needed to give to Silk Gathering Hall, and the one hundred thousand that Hong Zheng spent, he still had one and a half million Spirit Stone left! This was the money that the Hong Mansion needed three to four years to earn!

Hong Bupo asked curiously, "Grandpa, why are you smiling so happily when the Precious Arts was taken away by someone?"

"You don't understand what I'm thinking!" Hong Loongteng said.

After the auction ended, Hong Zheng and Hong Loongteng went to the secret chamber in Silk Gathering Hall.

"Elder Hong, you're here?" Vice Hall Master smiled flatteringly, and his usual dignity had changed.

"I am here!" Hong Loongteng felt that he had a lot of face.

"This is a black mine and 1.6 million Spirit Stone! We are giving this black mine to the Hong Family!" Vice Hall Master smiled brightly.

Hong Loongteng said, "Old Yao, what do you mean?"

Vice Hall Master was confused. How did he offend him?

Hong Zheng did not know what was going on either.

"Is Hong Family short of money? I am a man with a high status. A hundred thousand Spirit Stone is nothing to me!" Hong Loongteng said in a serious manner.

Vice Hall Master was speechless. Everyone knew that Hong Loongteng was very stingy.

Hong Zheng almost threw his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Elder Hong, can you let me know that Scripture Refining Master?" Vice Hall Master asked with a face full of anticipation.

"I can't make the decision. I have to go back and ask that Scripture Refining Master!" Hong Loongteng deliberately said in a difficult manner.

"You have to say good things for me!" Vice Hall Master said.

Hong Loongteng was satisfied with his attitude, and then he left with Hong Zheng.

Outside the Silk Gathering Hall, Situ Zongheng walked out with a smile on his face. After that, he raised his head and swallowed the Primitive Precious Arts. In an instant, his body began to emit a bright light. Within his body, the Genuine Qi exploded! He took a long spear and shouted, "Thirteen Forms of Tyrant Spear!"

Hong Zheng felt disgusted.

After he took the spear, his movements were very domineering! Pure light circulated around his body, and the thick aura even caused cracks to appear on the ground!

"It really is a Grade 2 Primitive Precious Arts!" Hong Ming said with envy.

"I'm afraid the Situ Family's strength is getting stronger and stronger! When we return tonight, they will definitely ask Situ Zongheng to copy the Thirteen Forms of Tyrant Spear and ask those disciples to cultivate it!" Hong Bupo said with a solemn expression.

Hong Loongteng waved his hand and said, "It's fine!"

"Does anyone from the Hong Family dare to fight me?" Situ Zongheng asked. He retracted the light from his body.

Just as Hong Zheng was about to step forward, Hong Loongteng stopped him and said, "Don't push me too hard, or I will kill you now!"

After saying that, he ignored Situ Zongheng's reaction and returned to Hong Mansion.

After returning to Hong Mansion, Hong Loongteng decided to improve the strength of the Hong Family as soon as possible.

Hong Zheng nodded in agreement.

He spent a large amount of money to buy herbs and Ferocious Beast corpses!

The Hong Family still had a lot of resources. They sent a specialized herb harvesting team to collect them.

In a few days, a large amount of herbs were piled up in front of Hong Zheng!

After that, Hong Loongteng found a place in the backyard and started cultivating with a few young and talented young men.

Hong Loongteng, Hong Bupo, Hong Yaotian, and Hong Zheng were all there. There was also Hong Wu, Hong Liu, and Hong Qi. Their natural endowments were not bad, so Hong Zheng decided to spend a lot of effort to nurture them!

Hong Yaotian only had gratitude and respect for Hong Zheng. He did not expect Hong Zheng to not care about the past and help him increase his strength.

They laid down on the ground and began their bitter cultivation.

The quality of these herbs was pretty good this time. The most important thing was the Ferocious Beast's corpse.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed!

Hong Bupo's talent was extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't be ranked in the top two of the Hong Mansion's young generation. On this day, his cultivation base had broken through to the Mortal Transformation Stage Level 2, and even surpassed Situ Piaoying's.

Hong Wu, Hong Liu, and Hong Qi weren't very old. They were only twenty years old. However, their cultivation bases had also reached the Qi Transformation Stage Level 9.

Hong Yaotian was only a step away from the Mortal Transformation Stage.

Hong Loongteng crawled out from the ground with a joyful expression on his face. He had broken through, and even some hidden injuries had healed.

Hong Zheng hadn't made a breakthrough, but he had gained a lot of benefits.

In the following days, he began refining scriptures again. The strength of the Scripture Refining Master lay in its creation and restoration of cultivation techniques.

He had refined the Grand Ancestor Divine Fist, Golden Ni Heavenly Arts, and Devil Ape Three Changes into the Primitive Precious Arts.

At night, he took out the black ore. It was full of bumps and hollows, as if it had been corroded by something. The blood in his body began to churn, and even the Scripture Refining Manual in his mind became much clearer!

This was a treasure that no one knew about. After that, he used all sorts of methods to not break open this black mine.

Could it really be a piece of trash?

This thought appeared in his mind. Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he bit his middle finger and dripped his blood onto the black mine. In an instant, something extremely shocking happened. The black mine erupted with a blinding light. The surface layer of the black mine was actually melting!

A cracking sound could be heard as the outer layer of the rock was peeling off. Finally, the thing inside was revealed. Surprisingly, it was a flame!

The temperature in the space immediately rose. There was actually a flame inside the rock. He was very shocked.

This flame was silver-white in color, the size of a fist. It floated in the space, swaying unsteadily, as if it would dissipate at any time.

An intermittent consciousness entered his mind, "Sun Tathagata Flame!"

A broken image was transmitted into his mind. A Sun Tathagata Flame actually turned into a sun, illuminating the heaven and earth, as well as the endless void. Even the Devil God was incinerated.

This was a new Sun Tathagata Flame that was extremely rare in the world.

Hong Zheng understood from the waves of consciousness he received that the Sun Tathagata Flame could grow. It was only a Young Fire. If it could transform into a complete Ancestral Fire, it could burn the heaven and earth!

It needed to grow. As long as it grew, it would be a Divine Flame that could shock the world.

The Sun Tathagata Flame that was stained with Hong Zheng's blood landed on his palm. He was startled, but he didn't feel any scorching heat. The Young Fire entered his body, and in the end, it drilled into the Drawing-board Palace between his eyebrows. It settled down. It turned into a thumb-sized mark and imprinted itself on his forehead.

Instantly, he felt as if all the meridians in his body were being cleansed by a mysterious force! The Young Fire continuously tempered his body. His muscles, bones, and skin were all flickering with light.

The energy emitted by the Sun Tathagata Flame continuously flowed through his body. Under the refinement, his flesh, bones, and blood emitted a sparkling luster.

Even his eyes had changed. Looking from afar, there seemed to be two flames jumping within his eyes.

An ancient aura was emitted from his body.

He faced the sky and let out a long roar. The aura around his body suddenly erupted. The Genuine Qi surged and rushed towards his meridians.

Eight Dragon Power entered his body. This time, the speed at which he refined the Dragon Power was actually much faster than before. This was all thanks to the Young Fire. The number of Genuine Qi in his body had increased by a realm when he was at the second level of the Mortal Transformation Stage.

After a long while, he went silent. The Genuine Qi in his body was retracted and entered his body. Within his Dantian, the Dragon Power was hibernating. The faint sound of a dragon's roar was continuously transmitted out.

He suddenly waved his right hand and a large flame was transmitted out, burning a large hole in the ground!

He touched the space between his eyebrows and smiled in satisfaction. With this Sun Tathagata Flame, whether it was refining scriptures or Dragon Power, it would be much easier for him.
