Chapter 2090 Infinite Eight Bitters Root

chapter 2090 infinite eight bitters root

kun pengzi began walking over to long chen, but halfway there, he turned and walked to huang feiyan, sitting beside her.

huang feiyan’s mouth moved. their seat was covered by a sound formation, so it was impossible to tell what they were talking about.

kun pengzi turned slightly to glance at long chen after hearing what she said. his sharp face was expressionless.

“long chen, you’ve gained another terrifying enemy. it was said that the peng emperor has passed on his life’s mission to kun pengzi, having entrusted everything to him. he is his true successor. as for you, considering your enmity with the xuan beasts, there will definitely be a fierce battle between the two of you,” warned beitang rushuang.

even beitang rushuang was worrying for long chen. he really was surrounded by enemies, each stronger than the last.

“a fight’s a fight. i’m used to it,” said long chen indifferently. this was also a reason he hadn’t wanted to come to this gathering. this scene was essentially what he had predicted.

of course, hiding was not a solution. in the cultivation world, yielding and accommodating others would not get you peace. it would just make the storm grow stronger before it crashed down upon you.

if you took a step back, your enemies would take a step forward. you couldn’t compromise your way out of that. in the end, you would be forced back to a land of death without a chance to turn things around.

kun pengzi’s arrival caused quite a few waves. after all, he was the son of one of the three emperors. his status and position was extremely high.

kun pengzi as an emperor’s son and the pill fairy as a divine daughter were like two huge mountains amongst their midst, suffocating them.

only shi lingfeng was glaring at kun pengzi. kun pengzi was a true emperor’s son. hence, shi lingfeng’s own status as the descendant of one of the three emperors was now no longer high.

first, the peng emperor had been acknowledged by everyone as one of the three emperors. as for the stone emperor, he had barely managed to get that title because the corrupt emperor had refused to call himself emperor. even if he called himself emperor, the stone emperor was just gilding his own face.

second, kun pengzi was the peng emperor’s direct son with a bloodline inheritance. as for shi lingfeng, he was just one of the stone emperor’s descendants. the stone race were not humans nor beasts, so there was no such thing as a bloodline for them.

“kun pengzi, once this gathering is over, i want to ask for some pointers from you. please show me the supreme techniques of the peng emperor.” in the end, shi lingfeng wasn’t able to stop himself from challenging kun pengzi.

however, in front of kun pengzi, shi lingfeng didn’t dare to be arrogant. even though it was a challenge, it wasn’t overbearing.

“any time you want,” responded kun pengzi in a cold tone.

as time passed, more and more experts filled the room. long chen counted over eighty people.

“that person is...” suddenly, ye lingshan’s pupils shrank as she spotted someone at the entrance. at some point, a small, delicate figure had appeared.

she appeared silently without anyone noticing. it was like she didn’t even exist. if they didn’t personally see her, there would have been no way to sense her existence.

she wore a black cloak that covered most of her face. it only revealed a straight nose and a small mouth.

the starting auction item was extremely important. it couldn’t be too precious, or it would overshadow the following items. it also couldn’t be ordinary, or people wouldn’t be interested in the rest of the auction.

so the first item had to be attractive while not being very expensive. thus, this deteriorated infinite eight bitters root had been tossed out.

“thirty-five underworld spirit beads.”

someone immediately shouted a bid.

“forty underworld spirit beads.”

“fifty underworld spirit beads.”

...

the price grew higher and higher. it quickly reached seventy-five underworld spirit beads. this bid was from huang feiyan.

after this bid, many of the other bidders shook their heads. this price was too high, and they also didn’t want to fight against huang feiyan who was famous for being a petty woman.

“eighty underworld spirit beads.”

just as huang feiyan thought that the infinite eight bitters root was about to enter her pocket, long chen opened his mouth.

this time, long chen didn’t have beitang rushuang act for him. last time, she had done it for long chen to get some advantage.

however, this time, it was different. as an alchemist, long chen knew why huang feiyan wanted this infinite eight bitters root. her spiritual strength was her weak point as a xuan beast. she had always wanted to make up for it. furthermore, as a xuan beast, her comprehension of the eight bitters like birth, age, and death was below average.

so even though this infinite eight bitters root had almost lost all its power, someone as rich as her could afford it for the chance that it might allow her soul to advance.

she had clearly shown her hand. this eight infinite bitters root was a must-have for her. if long chen made beitang rushuang bid for him, she would draw the ire of huang feiyan. pulling someone he trusted down wasn’t something that long chen would do, so he bid himself.

as expected, huang feiyan instantly became frosty. she turned around to glare at long chen.

“one hundred underworld spirit beads!” huang feiyan was enraged. she thought that long chen was intentionally finding trouble for her.

“one hundred and five,” bid long chen.

he also viewed this infinite eight bitters root as a must-have because he had the primal chaos space. he could restore it and grow more. that would be of great help in his alchemy.

“long chen, you are courting death!” roared huang feiyan. an invisible pressure burst out of her, startling the other experts.
