Chapter 1725 (Raw 1736): Dragon Pattern Cauldron

Only people with a Great Desolate Eon bloodline can participate in this auction?

The benchmark was really set high.

Ling Yu explained, "Even if you are a Sovereign Personage, without a Great Desolate Eon bloodline, you will not be able to enter the auction house, not even if you are extremely wealthy with mountains of Spirit Jades.

"Oh, right. If your bloodline is not pure enough or of a high enough grade, you will also be asked to leave."

Xiao Chen thought about it, then asked, "What is the point of that? There are not many people with a bloodline of the Great Desolate Eon's ten thousand races. Furthermore, with the requirement of the bloodline power not being thin and being pure enough, there would be even fewer people bidding. Shouldn't an auction have competition for them to gain the most benefit?"

Ling Yu's lips curled up as he replied, "Who knows? I heard that the owner behind the auction hall has some connection to the Soaring Dragon Marquis's descendant who is here. Perhaps the auction hall's owner does not lack Spirit Jades? However, in any case, cultivators with a sufficiently pure Great Desolate Eon bloodline would be a sect's true inheritor or a Noble Clan disciple. These people would not lack Spirit Jades."

Xiao Chen felt more interested now. He smiled and said, "Let's not care about that. Bring me over to take a look."

After a while, the two reached the end of the road, where an ancient pavilion that was neither tall nor gorgeous stood.

What was special about it was the emphasis on ancient. Aside from the ancient aura that this pavilion gave off, which placed heavy pressure on everyone, there was nothing special about it.

The signboard before the pavilion had three words on it: Soaring Dragon Pavilion.

The Soaring Dragon Pavilion in Soaring Dragon City. No one would believe that this pavilion had nothing to do with the Soaring Dragon Great Realm's master.

Ling Yu pointed to the signboard and said, "Martial Uncle, this is the place."

Several people lined up at the front door, waiting to enter.

The people who wanted to enter had to undergo strict checks: a blood test to verify the might of their Great Desolate Eon bloodline, and another test for the glow of their Great Desolate Divine Eyes.

"No, your Astral Roc bloodline is only Grade 2. You cannot enter the Soaring Dragon Pavilion!" a black-clad old man in front of the pavilion said mercilessly to a young cultivator, then urged him to leave quickly.

"Senior, help me out here. I have brought sufficient Spirit Jades to the Soaring Dragon Pavilion and want to buy a good Treasure Tool!"

The black-clad old man refused to listen to any cajolery. He said, "If you want to buy a Treasure Tool, there are many other auction houses that you can choose from in Soaring Dragon City. You do not need to do it at the Soaring Dragon Pavilion!"

"You old fogey, will you stop being so stubborn? I am a Rank 4 sect's true inheritor in the Vast Sea Cluster. I came because I heard of the Soaring Dragon Pavilion. Can't you at least let me in to take a look?"

"How audacious!"

The black-clad old man snorted coldly. He gently launched a palm strike and directly sent that so-called Rank 4 sect disciple flying.

The will of soul of a Star Venerate spread out from the old man's body, mildly shocking everyone.

Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart. The old man watching the door looked unremarkable, but he actually was a Star Venerate.

"The Astral Roc Race is ranked towards the back among the Great Desolate Eon's ten thousand races. You have only a Grade 2 bloodline, yet you dare to be so audacious in front of the Soaring Dragon Pavilion. You are truly ignorant. Scram!" the old man shouted coldly, and that youth no longer dared to remain, slipping away quickly.

After this scene, Xiao Chen discovered that the long line immediately shortened by quite a bit.

It turned out that there were many people who wanted to try and slip by the checks. These people now beat a hasty retreat, leaving quietly.

Soon, it was Ling Yu's turn. He had entered the place five years ago and naturally would not have any problems. After he easily passed the test, it was Xiao Chen's turn.

Ling Yu waited at the entrance for Xiao Chen. In his opinion, Xiao Chen would have no problem passing the test.

After Xiao Chen activated his Great Desolate Eon bloodline, the horrifying Dragon Might had caused the blood in Ling Yu's body to tremble.

The Dragon Race was ranked among the top hundred of the Great Desolate Eon bloodlines.

Although Ling Yu felt that his martial uncle's bloodline could not possibly be part of the pure-blooded Six Colored Divine Dragons, it should not be far off. Furthermore, its grade had to be extremely high.

Xiao Chen's bloodline was definitely at least Grade 5 or above!

That black-clad old man glanced at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, "Drip your blood!"

Xiao Chen took a look. There was a small spiritual pool in front. When blood dropped into it, it would materialize all sorts of mysterious phenomena.

If someone of the Dragon Race dripped their blood into it, it would definitely manifest the image of a dragon.

It would show one of the Seven Colored Divine Dragons or a True Dragon of a lower grade, like a sky dragon, a flood dragon, a lightning dragon, a coiling dragon, and many others. As the bloodline thinned, it could only be called a false-dragon bloodline.

This would result in a strange-shaped dragon. It would still be a Dragon Race bloodline in name, but in reality, it was not worth showing at all.

Xiao Chen did as told, dripping his blood into the spiritual pool. "Boom!" Dragon Might spread out, making everyone's eyes light up.

"A person from the Dragon Race!"

"The Dragon Race, that is part of the strongest hundred among the Great Desolate Eon's ten thousand races!"

"That is really incredible. We met with another heaven-defying outstanding talent of the Great Desolate Hundred Races."

However, who knew, after the mild shock that the black-clad old man experienced, he frowned when he looked at the image in the spiritual pool.

What in the world is that? It has azure skin and has a strange shape.

It is not one of the Six Colored Divine Dragons or the various True Dragons…

"It turns out that it is a false dragon. There is no need for the rest of the test. Leave. You won't be able to enter the Soaring Dragon Pavilion," the black-clad old man said indifferently.

The Dragon Race was also internally ranked. The three great Ancestor Dragons were the strongest. However, the Ancestor Dragons' bloodlines already went extinct.

Right now, the Six Colored Divine Dragons' bloodlines were the strongest, followed by the True Dragons Finally, it would be the false dragons that had all sorts of strange shapes and extremely thin bloodlines.

Of course, in the history of the Dragon Race, there had been a few false dragon bloodline cultivators who turned the situation around, becoming Heavenly Dragons.

However, most of the false dragon bloodline cultivators had an unsightly name within the Dragon Race—impure dragons. They would not have any status on the outside, either.

The black-clad old man considered himself very knowledgeable about the history of the Great Desolate Eon's ten thousand races. With one look, he decided that Xiao Chen was just a false dragon.

But this was the Azure Dragon!

This was once the strongest of the Seven Colored Divine Dragons. However, to save the Dragon Race, nearly all their members had died in a battle. Hence, they had vanished for tens of thousands of years.

Right now, people only knew of the Six Colored Divine Dragons. These bloodlines were unparalleled; even a disciple of the Grave Sea, like Ling Yu, knew that.

No one alive had ever heard of the Azure Dragon bloodline.

Xiao Chen felt speechless. However, this was fine, after all. Even the black-clad old man could not recognize the Azure Dragon bloodline.

At the very least, Xiao Chen could conceal his identity for a while longer.

Ling Yu, who was at the entrance, felt shocked. This was unexpected. He cried out, "That is impossible. Senior, you must have made a mistake."

The black-clad old man replied seriously, "This old man has interacted with all the Great Desolate Hundred Races. How could I be mistaken?"

Xiao Chen waved his hand and smiled. "If it is a false dragon, then so be it. However, shouldn't Old Sir give me a chance and decide after seeing the grade of my bloodline?"

The black-clad old man thought about it and nodded. "No matter how high a false dragon bloodline is, it is pointless. Leave. There is no point in talking more. Otherwise, don't blame this old man for going by the books!"

"Whoosh!"

Right after the black-clad old man said that, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and quietly opened his Great Desolate Divine Eyes. A resplendent golden light shot out of them.

The two beams of light containing the Divine Dragon Might directly struck the black-clad old man, catching him off guard and invading the depths of his sea of consciousness.

The black-clad old man immediately felt his soul shake, and he involuntarily took two steps back.

When the black-clad old man recovered his wits, Xiao Chen had already withdrawn his Great Desolate Divine Eyes. The black-clad old man showed an expression of horror as he muttered, "How can it be…how can a false dragon's might be so terrifying?"

Xiao Chen asked softly, "Senior, can I go in now?"

The black-clad old man still felt somewhat dazzled, doubtful, and confused. He shook his head and said, "Enter, then."

This went as expected. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and ignored the gazes of the others, crossing the threshold with a large stride.

"Martial Uncle, that was close. I thought that you would not be able to enter."

Ling Yu released his bated breath. At the same time, he also felt confused. To think that Martial Uncle's bloodline is not that of a true dragon but a false dragon! However, how did he clear the test, then?

In reality, it would be strange if the pressure from the strongest Divine Dragon could not clear the test.

Even if one was not knowledgeable and could not recognize the Azure Dragon, the might and pressure of a Divine Dragon were very clear.

Xiao Chen smiled and did not say more. The two entered the Soaring Dragon Pavilion.

The scenery immediately changed. While the outside looked ordinary, the decorations inside were very extravagant, presenting a dazzling sight.

Two maidservants wearing revealing clothing that showcased their sexy figures walked out and greeted the two.

"Martial Uncle, I'll go around and take a look first."

"Alright."

With the maidservants there to attend especially to them, there was no need for Ling Yu to lead the way. He also had things that he was interested in.

Xiao Chen asked the pretty maidservant who remained with him, "Are there ancient cauldrons for sale?"

"There is. I'll bring you to the zone for the ancient cauldrons. It is on the third floor." The pretty maidservant smiled, making sure that she was very polite and that her services were excellent.

Upon arriving in the ancient cauldron zone, the pretty maidservant moved to a side to wait, not interrupting Xiao Chen.

Since this was the ancient cauldron zone, everything displayed was, naturally, an ancient cauldron. Furthermore, there were no restrictions.

Xiao Chen could look all he wanted, making thorough checks.

It looked like the people of the Soaring Dragon Pavilion were very confident in their security, not worried about anyone daring to cause trouble here.

There were not many people in the ancient cauldron zone. Right now, there was only Xiao Chen. This made the place very quiet and empty.

The popular areas were the ones for Medicinal Pills, secret manuals, weapons, equipment, and some other ancient legendary items on the second floor.

Xiao Chen glanced around, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. His eyes fixed on a certain ancient cauldron.

That was a square, four-legged cauldron. Ancient patterns were carved on its surface, looking very exquisite without being extravagant.

"Dragon Pattern Cauldron!"

Xiao Chen felt surprised. Unexpectedly, he found a genuine Dragon Pattern Cauldron in this place.

However, after checking this ancient cauldron's aura, Xiao Chen found that it was not ancient enough. This should be a Dragon Pattern Cauldron that was made by the Dragon Race in the recent millennia.

For some reason, it ended up in the outside world. Perhaps it was the reward for a Dragon Race cultivator, and after this person no longer needed it, he placed it on auction, resulting in the current situation.

After all, it was not truly a peak Dragon Pattern Cauldron.

"Young Master, are you interested in this Dragon Pattern Cauldron? This is an authentic item from the Dragon Race and not an imitation by others. It came from the hands of a Dragon Race Elder who was part of the upper echelon. Just this alone already makes it extraordinary." The pretty maidservant appeared at the right time and explained to Xiao Chen in a gentle voice.

Xiao Chen took a look at the minimum bidding price: five hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades with a buyout price of two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades.

This price was rather fair. The value of this Dragon Pattern Cauldron should be about eight hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades. After all, it was a product of the Dragon Race.

However, it was already very expensive. Ordinary Cloud Sea Star Venerates could afford to casually toss about only three or four hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades.

After all, these people would not sell their treasures and weapons.

Not everyone could be like the Profound Light Temple, having many believers and able to take out eight million Medial Grade Spirit Jades to exchange for the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique's manual.

"This brother, aside from the value, whether a cauldron is good or not also depends on who used it. This cauldron is definitely worth it. Within the ancient cauldron zone, it can rank in the top three."

Just as Xiao Chen prepared to say something, a smiling, azure-clad man walked over. As he approached, his sharpness remained hidden.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrow. This was a bladesman. Even with the azure-clad man's sharpness hidden, Xiao Chen could sense it.

Furthermore, this was an extraordinary bladesman.

When that azure-clad man got closer, he smiled and said, "It is just like the saber in this brother's hand."
