Ethan got the item many thought that he just wasted his money on some worthless piece of ore.
The next item was the parts of the golden sandworm that Ethan dismembered.
''It seems like many people want those parts''
''Pyr those are Nirvana-level materials useful for low-level cultivators like me''
They kept on talking until the third item arrived Ethan stopped chatting and his attention returned to the stage.
''This item was discovered on one of the ruins in the southern valley of Mount Wile our appraiser tried to know the use of it but we still failed to know its function''
She revealed a set of tattered books
''Master I think you must take this item''
''You know something about those books''
Pyr nodded his head and began to explain.
''Mt Wile was the lair of witches back in the Pre-war era I sense that those books have sealed powers of the witches that's why nobody was able to use them'' Pyr look at the tattered books on the stage.
While Pyr explains this the bidding already started. Ethan raised his hand again for the prize of 1.5 Million high-quality vital coins but someone bid higher than him.
''2milion for sir Demigod on the front''
Ethan looks at the man near the stage then he lifts his hand again.
''Master that Demigod was the one I'm telling you about'' Pyr looked quite calm but there was a burning anger in his eyes.
Looking closely at the man he realized that it was Dane one of the Demigods on the fifth squad he looked at Ethan with menacing eyes.
''Looks like that guy wants to die early'' Pyr directed his aura towards Dane making him puke a mouthful of blood the other guests beside him couldn't help but be alarmed since someone can easily injure a Demigod.
''Stop it you might kill him'' Ethan laughs a bit while he pulls Pyr back to his shoulder.
Dane looked mad he kept looking for the culprit while Ethan was able to take the item he wanted. Losing the item Dane looked at Ethan with extreme coldness looking like a tiger ready to bite his prey.
''Those were nice expressions should I erase them'' Pyr was about to release an even stronger pressure when Ethan stopped him.
''The next item is about to arrive let's just sit down and relax'' He slowly put Pyr on his lap and began to observe the item that was about to arrive.
''Now for our last item, this sword was located on one of the ancient battlefields of Null Mountain but unfortunately, this sword received some damage''
Ethan suddenly felt attracted towards the item seeing the the sword broken in half he already thought of a way to use it.
The prize for the broken sword increased until it went to 3.5 million high-quality coins.
Ethan also bid for 4 million until it was only he and Dane who kept competing for the broken sword.
''This guy never learns'' Pyr released his aura and it made Dane who was a Demigod expert fly for several meters.
''Sir Dane!''
''Master Dane!''
Members of the fifth squad including Meo went to aid Dane but even they were pinned to the ground by the formidable pressure.
''Enough I got the sword''
Ethan patted his head to calm him down looking at the mess Pyr made he couldn't help but shake his head.
''Sigh.. might as well help them out''
Ethan stood up from his seat and slowly went to help the unconscious Demigods who lay helplessly on the ground.
Half an hour later they begin to regain their consciousness.
''It must've been you!''
Dane looks furious he keeps blaming Ethan for what happened to them.
''Dane would you stop that!''
Meo slaps his face knocking him back to his senses.
''Yue is only a Human level would someone at that level be able to knock us out like that''
Everyone including the members of the thirteen squad began to eye Dane they could see his displeasure towards Ethan.
''Yue should go back to the inn we'll deliver the items that you bought there''
Meo told him as she began to investigate what truly happened.
Arriving in his room Ethan couldn't help but laugh a little they ended up causing so much ruckus inside the auction house.
''That was fun'' Laughing again Ethan put Pyr on the bed and began to look at the the ancient blacksmithing books that he got from the treasury.
A few hours later the servant arrived with the items he had purchased.
''This is what I need''
Taking out the titanium ore and the broken sword he began to examine how much he could do to fix it.
''It seems like this sword needs a beast core to function''
Black flames ignite in his fist as he tries to reforge the blade but sadly the materials he has are insufficient.
''I still need two more types of ores and one beast core to fix this sword''
Storing the titanium ore and the broken sword Ethan took out the tattered books.
''To unseal the book you have to first learn the witch's language''
Pyr points his tail to Ethan's forehead and a surge of information regarding the witches flows to his mind.
''I see so that's how it was''
Ethan began to chant a spell Pyr had given him the tattered books began to glow and blank pages began to show their hidden writings.
''Elemental combining technique''
''Six breaking seal incantation''
''Ocean beast spell''
Ethan observes the three tattered books that now restore their former look.
Pyr looked at the window and said in a low voice
''Master there seem people who are aware of the use of those books''
Ethan began to read them hearing what Pyr said he didn't stop reading instead he took out something from his ring.
A man with a pale face and red patterns on his body appears before him.
''I think your corpse puppet won't be able to take them their at least Deity level cultivator''
This time Ethan stopped fiddling with his newfound book he looked at Pyr and released fourteen more similar corpse puppets.
''You have so much of them''
Pyr looks quite surprised seeing Demigod-level corpse puppets.
''I made them not long ago though they are not complete yet since I haven't used my flames to fully forge their strength''
Pyr looked at the puppets and said
''No wonder that this puppets smell different''
Ethan merely bathed the corpse puppets with medicinal herbs so that it would be easy for him to fully forge them.
''Pyr play with our guest for a bit while I try to finish them''
Pyr only nodded his head and jumped out the window.
''Now shall we start''
Ethan took out the orb garden and slowly disappeared along with the orb.
''Evil spotted grass''
''Rock ore''
''Six petalled flower moss''
Inside the garden, Ethan took many herbs and began to forge his corpse puppets.
Bursting black flame began to melt and mix the herbs combining them with the puppets.
Hua
''Not strong enough''
Forging fifteen puppets at the same time is no easy task, especially for Ethan who is only at a human level. Feeling the extreme pressure he tries to use his blood to control his flames better.
''Ha...ha..''
Running out of breath Ethan tried his best to control his flames but suddenly he felt that he had run out of vital essence.
''Heh.. now the chance''
Ethan took a deep breath and smiled a crazy plan suddenly appeared in his mind.
''What kind of crazy idea is this'' shouted Winter while looking at a map full of marks.
''It is not that crazy l say it's pretty good'' Kai said while scanning the map as well.
''Attacking without thinking is a crazy plan especially since we know nothing about this place'' Winter argues with him while shoving the map to his face.
''I do agree with Winter we can't just randomly attack the eight demon palace without making a proper plan'' Asher stated taking a sip of his tea.
''No need to worry I got every information we need'' Entering his way towards everyone Haze came with a memory book which recorded events that transpired inside the eight demon palace.
''I have collected every information we needed and all of them are stored here'' he flipped the book to show every event that happened on each trip he had towards the eight demon palace.
''Which one should we watch first?'' he asked
''Let's check the very first palace'' Winter suggested everyone seemed to agree so Haze touched the first event which glowed with blue light.
Hum
The hall was covered with light until it was sucked and everyone notice that the hall had changed and became a dense forest.
''So this is the first palace located'' Kai looked around the forest and recognized it.
''Yes it is the Death forest which rests at the depths of the fire continent'' Oldman Chen's voice sounded behind them while Kun and the white witches accompanied him.
''So the eight demon palace can't be found in one place its location is divided into eight different places'' Cald said in a low voice but he knew that everyone heard him.
''Eight dangerous locations eight dangerous clans this will surely be tough to handle'' Asher thought while he looked at the map touching the Death forest which was located directly under Stone Island.
Everyone watches the entire memory after that they start to investigate and gather more information from the books inside the underground library.
''It is fortunate you didn't burn this library along with the palace or else we have to go somewhere else to research'' Kun said while looking at the endless stack of books piled nearly on the shelves.
''Tsk... that lunatic king tries to command me as if I'm his servant when I have the chance I'll pay him a visit'' Oldman Chen looked aggressively while flipping the documents on his table.
Kun only stared at him exasperatedly while rewinding the memory they had watched a moment ago.
