Hearing this, the crowd's curiosity was piqued. Could this tier-7 pill be more precious than the tier-8 pills previously auctioned?
But they quickly shook their heads, dismissing the thought.
The value of Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill might be great, but compared to the Tier-8 Green Fungus Pill and Bodhisattva Pill, it was obviously lacking a bit.
Seeing that the strong cultivators were not as excited as she expected, Ya Fei chuckled and said, "I suppose many of you have heard of the name Venerable Wind?"
Feng Ling'er, with a smile on her face, responded, "In this Dou Qi continent, who hasn't heard of Venerable Wind's name?"
Ya Fei continued, "The strength of the Venerable Wind was known to all. There's a legend that said that he had single-handedly destroyed many powerful forces in the past. During a battle against a rival, despite being a Five Star Dou Ancestor, he managed to defeat his opponent but ended up gravely wounded. Even if he survived, his strength would've been drastically lowered due to his injury. However, thanks to Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, he re-emerged seven years later with strength that of a Dou Venerate expert, sweeping all of his old enemies!"
"This is what it means to be standing after breaking! Achieving an extraordinary transformation from near-death experience akin to phoenix's rebirth!"
Cultivating a Dou Venerate was incredibly challenging, requiring not only immense resources but also exceptional talent. Without the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, breaking through to Dou Venerate n was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But with this pill, they had the opportunity to cultivate a Dou Venerate powerhouse!
After a brief moment of silence, the sound of people gasping in surprise filled the air. They couldn't believe the incredible effect of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill—this truly embodied the concept of 'rebirth through destruction'!
Ya Fei spoke softly, "If this were any ordinary auction house, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill would be treated like a priceless heirloom. But the Heavenly Ascending Pavilion is not exactly ordinary."
"Anyone with the means can obtain the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, and we guarantee its value."
"The starting price is thirty thousand Spirit Coins."
Thirty thousand Spirit Coins, equivalent to three million gold coins, immediately filtered out those who couldn't afford to participate in the bidding.
Those who remained were the elite.
"Good stuff!" The Blood Sect leader, Fan Lao, licked his lips. "With this, my breakthrough to Dou Ancestor is within reach."
"Are you interested in this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, Old Fan?" Han Feng turned slowly, smiling as he asked.
Fan Lao didn't shy away. "Indeed. With the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, I could achieve rebirth through destruction. If I consume it, I could become a Dou Ancestor, and perhaps even a Dou Venerate..."
Hearing this, Han Feng sneered internally. The larger the forest, the more kinds of birds it holds—Fan Lao dreaming of becoming a Dou Venerate was laughable.
Fan Lao was just a Dou Emperor, far from reaching Dou Ancestor. Breaking through to Dou Ancestor would take him decades. Although the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill could help him achieve rebirth through destruction, whether he would succeed was still unknown. Making such early conclusions was not wise.
Han Feng coldly remarked, "Old Fan, while the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill can indeed help you achieve rebirth through destruction, what if your opponent doesn't give you a chance to use it and simply takes your head?"
Fan Lao's face twisted in realization. Indeed, if his opponent didn't give him the opportunity for the Yin Yang Xuan Long Dan to take effect and instead decapitated him, all his efforts would be in vain.
Yet, he didn't want to miss out on such a golden opportunity...
Fan Lao found himself in a dilemma, unsure of the best approach.
For a moment, Fan Lao fell into a dilemma, unsure of how to find a method that suited him.
The price had already reached a staggering five hundred thousand spirit crystals, and even Feng Qing'er began to take great interest in this Tier-7 pill.
If she consumed it, she might have a chance to break through to the Half-Saint realm when facing a strong enemy in the future.
"Old Ling, this is indeed a good item," Gu Xun'er said, sipping her tea. "The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill—if we can obtain it, the people in the clan would surely be very pleased."
"Yes, Miss," Ling Ying responded in a low voice. "This pill is incredibly valuable, one of the rarest in the world. Moreover, breaking through after taking it is the greatest concept. If you consume it, your future potential would be limitless."
Gu Xun'er nodded. Whether for herself or for the clan, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was something irreplaceable.
However, it was important to act within her means.
Her goal for this trip was the God Seal Art, not other treasures. Of course, as long as it was within her scope, she could bid for it.
Ling Ying raised his paddle and said, "One million two hundred thousand spirit crystals."
Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd. As expected of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, which was said to allow a breakthrough after consumption—someone had already bid a million spirit crystals shortly after the auction began, making others envious.
These bidders were surely descendants of powerful figures or top experts from Central Plain.
The Valley Chief of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen, murmured to himself, "Could that woman also be from Central Plain…"
"The auction is getting more exciting. If it weren't for the barrier set by the Ascension Pavilion, everyone would have become prey for the strong," Tang Zhen shrugged and said, "Forget it. This pill has no fate with me; I'll leave it for others to fight over."
Tang Zhen chose to give up. There was no need to offend other factions in Central Plain over a Tier-7 pill, especially since he was more interested in Heavenly Flame or higher tier pills.
"Jie jie, that old dog Tang Zhen actually gave up. It really helps me out." Zhai Xing laughed grimly and said with a sinister expression, "If I can have this pill, I can use it to enhance my position in the Hall of Souls."
"Protector Wu, raise the bid."
Protector Wu nodded repeatedly. Since it was something Heavenly Venerate desired, he could only fully cooperate. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in for an easy time afterward.
"One million two hundred and thirty thousand!"
"One million three hundred thousand," Ling Ying continued.
"One million three hundred and thirty thousand!"
After hearing Protector Wu's increased bid, Old Ghost Zhai Xing nodded in satisfaction. Yes, that's the way—raise the bid by three thousand each time, thus angering the opponent into giving up on bidding for the pill.
Sure enough, Ling Ying angrily clenched the paddle in his hand. This was clearly aimed at them.
Gu Xun'er said heavily, "Old Ling, forget it. The price has already exceeded our expectations. We're here for the God Seal Art, not to spend our money here."
"But Miss, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is very suitable for you. If…" Ling Ying said, somewhat unwillingly.
"Old Ling, listen to me. Let it go," Gu Xun'er's voice was especially gentle, but there was also a hint of regret in her tone.
But for the sake of the clan, she could only endure the pain and give up. The God Seal Art was the most important thing.
Under Gu Xun'er's firm attitude, Ling Ying could only sigh in secret. Reluctantly, he returned to his seat, glaring resentfully in the direction of the Soul Hall.
