Chapter 472: The Bronze Orb! Spirit Nurturing Dust!
The entire crowd fell into a stunned silence upon hearing the terrified cry of Elder Xuan.
The air was thick with tension, and even Elder Yan, the old alchemist selling herbs, could only manage a wry smile.
After all
There was nothing he could do to stop what was about to happen.
The Cai Lin Pavilion Master was simply too powerful.
Previously, when he annihilated three of the Four Way Pavilion's leaders, it was at least because of a woman.
But now?
Chen Xian, Young Sect Master of Xuanming Sect, had provoked him… over a mere bronze fragment.
Even if that bronze fragment was a valuable treasure, was it really worth his life?
Even Elder Yan himself suspected that the fragment held secrets, but without knowledge of its purpose, it was nothing more than scrap metal.
Had Chen Xian offended a mere disciple of Cai Lin Pavilion, perhaps he could have relied on Xuanming Sect's influence to resolve things.
But he had provoked the Pavilion Master himself.
That was nothing short of suicidal.
Wu Tian chuckled softly, locking eyes with the trembling Chen Xian.
"Congratulations! You guessed right… but sadly, there's no reward."
As he spoke, he casually snapped his fingers.
In an instant
Chen Xian burst into flames.
His body was consumed in mere moments, vanishing without a trace.
Just like that
The Young Sect Master of Xuanming Sect was gone, as if he had never existed.
Many bystanders hadn't even had the chance to see his strength, and yet
He was erased from existence.
The entire auction hall remained eerily silent.
The only sound was the soft crackling of dissipating flames.
Even the two Douzong elders who had accompanied him were incinerated along with him.
Yet, their deaths were so insignificant compared to Chen Xian's demise that no one even bothered to mention them.
Wu Tian then shifted his gaze toward the remaining survivor Elder Xuan, the lone Douzun expert.
He smiled faintly and said,
"Relax. I won't kill you."
"Go back and deliver a message to your Sect Master "
"Tell him that I'll be waiting for him at the Pill Tower."
Compared to Wu Tian's current strength, Elder Xuan was no different from an ant.
Letting him live was merely a convenience a messenger to deliver the warning.
Elder Xuan, despite being a Douzun, didn't dare argue.
With a flicker of Dou Qi, he vanished from the scene, fleeing at full speed.
Gone was the arrogant, composed demeanor from before.
Now, he ran like a desperate old man, fearful that Wu Tian might change his mind and reduce him to ashes.
Wu Tian retrieved the bronze fragment, his expression one of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Elder Yan, who had been selling the herbs, wiped the sweat from his brow and chuckled nervously.
"Pavilion Master Wu, if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word! You don't have to trouble yourself coming in person, hahaha~"
Gone was his previously lazy demeanor.
He was no longer the arrogant, domineering old alchemist who looked down on others.
Instead, he was now a cunning survivor, groveling before true power.
Wu Tian simply smirked.
"I'll hold you to that."
"If you ever come across ingredients for refining Eighth Tier Pills, send them all to me."
Without hesitation, he took the Snowbone Ginseng and left the auction hall.
This bronze fragment had been the real reason he came.
Now that he had obtained it, there was no need to linger.
Upon returning to Leaf Manor, Wu Tian wasted no time.
He immediately retrieved the ancient bronze fragment, examining it closely.
To most people, the fragment itself was nothing more than a corroded piece of metal.
But Wu Tian knew
The true treasure wasn't the fragment itself…
It was the layer of greenish corrosion covering it.
Carefully, Wu Tian scraped off the green rust, collecting it into a small pile.
He then pressed the powder together, forming a thumb sized bronze sphere.
Cai Lin, who had just materialized beside him, watched with curiosity.
"Husband, what exactly is that?"
Her enchanting figure shimmered in the dim candlelight, her golden snake like eyes filled with intrigue.
Wu Tian chuckled, his gaze flickering with excitement.
"This is an ancient relic."
"Even compared to an Eighth Tier Pill, it holds immeasurable value."
With that, he summoned his flames, dropping the bronze orb into the fire.
Time passed…
The orb remained completely intact.
Despite Wu Tian's enhanced flames, it showed no signs of melting.
Cai Lin's eyes widened in shock.
She was well aware of her husband's terrifying flame abilities.
Even top tier Heavenly Flames would struggle to match his current power.
Yet
Even under his intense heat, this bronze orb refused to melt?
She couldn't help but wonder…
What kind of power lay hidden within it?
The thought sent a shiver down her spine.
She had long realized
Her husband's memories were returning.
He was not just an ordinary snake man.
His true identity remained a mystery, and the rate at which he regained his power was frighteningly fast.
Could he really be from the Serpent Tribe?
Or was he something… far greater?
After ten more minutes of intense flames, the orb finally began to melt.
Slowly, the green corrosion burned away, revealing a shimmering, golden dust within.
Tiny, sparkling particles floated in the flames, glowing like stars in the night sky.
Wu Tian's eyes lit up with joy.
"Hah! Spirit Nurturing Dust!"
Cai Lin tilted her head in confusion.
"Spirit Nurturing Dust?"
Wu Tian nodded, his expression filled with excitement.
"Yes. This dust is an ancient treasure, almost impossible to find."
"It can be used to refine Eighth Tier Pills…"
"But more importantly "
"If absorbed directly into one's soul, it nurtures and strengthens the spirit… allowing one to reach the legendary Spirit Realm!"
Cai Lin's breath hitched.
A treasure capable of enhancing the soul itself?
Even amongst the ancient clans, such a thing was unheard of.
Wu Tian clenched his fist, staring at the golden dust suspended in the flames.
"With this…"
"I can push my soul to even greater heights."
"And once my soul ascends…"
"No one in the Dou Qi Continent will be able to challenge me."
