Super Devouring Level Up - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Master Booker
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jaidon had been searching in the market for three days in a row, but he found nothing.
He had no idea how to cultivate the skill ‘Devouring Golden Body’.
Ordinary body cultivation techniques would only require physical training.
However, even though Jaidon was covered in wounds, he still could not see any progress with the skill.
Not to mention making progress, he could not detect any changes.
“Do I have to devour countless energy centers?”
In the past few days, there had been some ignorant people who had wanted to provoke Jaidon. However, Jaidon still was not able to trigger anything. He still hadn’t made a single improvement in the skill.
It couldn’t be.
No matter how impressive the skill was at the later stages of cultivation, it shouldn’t be that difficult to get started, right?
Moreover, Jaidon had the system.
If he wanted to improve anything, it should be as easy as playing a game. This skill should not be the only exception.
While thinking, Jaidon soon arrived at the Violet Royal Auction House.
This was the most luxurious place in the entire Green Valley Town, and also the place with the most treasures.
Maybe there was something here he needed.
“Move, move!”
While Jaidon was pondering, an expensive-looking carriage stopped at the entrance of the Violet Royal Auction House.
Soon, many people climbed down and carried items into the auction hall.
Many people were pointing from afar.
“It’s an auction that happens once every three months. I wonder what good stuff will appear this time.”
“That’s right. The Grade-two elixir that Master Fleck refined when he entered the spiritual realm last time was crazily sought after by various family clans. In the end, it was the Warden Family who got it.”
“And…”
So it was an auction. Jaidon understood immediately. However, he had not participated in an auction ever since he was crippled.
Firstly, he had no money. Secondly, he could not afford to lose face.
But now, things were different.
However, Jaidon immediately shook his head. “I should go and practice the Flame Mantra. Although the improvement is slow…”
However, Jaidon’s steps suddenly came to a halt.
The skill ‘Devouring Golden Body’ that had not reacted for a long time actually underwent some changes at this moment!
When a box over a foot long was taken out, Jaidon’s heart, filled with abundant energy, violently thumped.
As the box approached, his pupils shrank.
The muscles all over his body grew restless. Jaidon immediately knew that the thing inside was what he needed to upgrade his skill.
He had searched far and wide for it, only to find it right next to him!
The thing he had been searching for for so long had finally appeared.
Jaidon had spent so much effort to find what he needed because he felt that once this body cultivation technique made a breakthrough, his capability would advance by leaps and bounds.
Even though he would not return to the level from before he was crippled, he would gain greater confidence to face a Battle Master.
As the wooden box went further and further away, Jaidon’s emotions finally calmed down.
He almost couldn’t resist snatching it.
However, seeing that there were no less than five guards, Jaidon decided to forget about it.
He didn’t want to lose his life even if he could obtain it.
The auction would be held five days later.
…
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Taking advantage of the time when the auction had yet to begin, Jaidon continued refining medicinal pills like crazy.
They were all Low-grade Level-one Energy Replenishing Pills, Concentration Pills, and others.
Although Jaidon could refine a High-Grade Level-one medicinal pill, his efficiency was not high.
Not only were the raw materials difficult to find, but even the refining time was extended by several times.
On the contrary, it was better to produce these Low-grade pills. Their raw materials were common and there was no concern about insufficient demand for them.
After all, no matter what, Low-level martial artists were the majority in the town.
The day of the auction.
Early in the morning, countless people rushed towards the Violet Royal Auction House.
Jaidon also finished refining the last batch of elixirs. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to head to the auction house.
He had made a lot of money in the past few days.
He asked Andrea to wait for him in the courtyard before he set off.
Unexpectedly, not long after he left, he met his nemesis.
“Jaidon!”
Aidon gnashed his teeth as he looked at Jaidon. The hatred in his eyes was so obvious, making one feel a chill.
Behind Aidon was his father, Bryson, who was also staring at Jaidon with hostility.
The two of them were the ones who hated Jaidon the most in the Booker Family.
“Don’t be smug. One day, I’ll trample you under my feet and turn you into a cripple again!” Aidon said fiercely.
However, perhaps because of his injuries, he seemed to be short of breath.
“Oh? Then what do you want to do? Come and hit me?”
After saying that, Jaidon shook his head and sighed. “I forgot. You have already become a cripple. You can’t even walk. Sigh, what a pity.”
“Booker Family’s former genius!”
Jaidon’s words were like needles stabbing Aidon’s heart.
He was extremely sensitive to the word ‘cripple’. In fact, he had developed a fear of it.
Seeing Jaidon’s imposing manner, that shadow-like kick from that day seemed to return to mind again, scaring Aidon so much that he almost fell back.
Seeing this scene, Bryson felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
“Jaidon, do you really think I won’t dare to take action against you?” The veins on Bryson’s forehead were bulging. It was obvious that he had been feeling extremely suppressed.
Jaidon asked back, “Do you dare to attack?”
The essence energy surged into his palm but was quickly forced back.
Not only would killing Jaidon not bring any benefits, but it would also ruin his larger plans.
However, letting him live was really infuriating.
In the end, he could only drag Aidon along and rush to the auction house without looking back.
He would bear with it this time.
Sooner or later, he would get back at Jaidon.
Jaidon gave him a disdainful look before heading off alone.
…
At the counter of the Violet Royal Auction House.
A mysterious person wrapped in black was warmly received by an old man.
The old man was dressed in a silvery-white robe and had a head full of white hair. There was a horizontal bar drawn on his chest.
If there were people who knew him, they would definitely know that this unbelievably enthusiastic person was the famous alchemy master of Green Valley Town, a First-grade alchemist, Master Fleck.
It was said that Master Fleck was about to make a breakthrough to become a second-grade alchemist. His future was limitless.
The small Green Valley Town was not good enough for a second-grade alchemist.
Even Battle Generals would have to lower their stance when they came across Grade-two alchemist.
The people who saw him felt that it was unbelievable. Such a Master usually didn’t even give face to the clan leaders of the big families. Yet, he was so passionate towards that person.
This caused many people to speculate about the identity of the black-clothed person.
“Master, please come in and have a seat.”
Master Fleck, who was usually proud and arrogant, personally escorted the man in black into the room before closing the door. It stunned everyone standing outside.
Master?
Wasn’t Master Fleck a master?
He would actually address someone else as master?
This was unbelievable.
However, no one there could have ever imagined that the black-robed man was Jaidon himself!
