Ying-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill Goes To...
Dare to compete with the Hall of Souls? Heh! It was like smashing an egg against a rock!
Protector Wu also congratulated Heavenly Venerate on obtaining the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, saying that a breakthrough to the Half-Saint realm was now within reach!
Zhai Xing shrugged and smiled smugly, "Just a bunch of nobodies. They don't even stand a toe against our Hall of Souls."
"Venerable is right," Protector Wu hastily added, "With your formidable strength, and now with this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, you are destined to become the Branch Master of the Hall of Souls!"
"Hmm?" Zhai Xing frowned. "Are you trying to make me a disloyal villain?"
"I wouldn't dare," Protector Wu quickly responded.
"You better not," Zhai Xing replied, his eyes flashing with a sharp glint. As a peak Five-Star Dou Venerate, he was well aware that if he could break through to the Half-Saint realm in his lifetime, he would achieve an unparalleled status in Hall of Souls, surpassing another Heavenly Venerates.
Just as he was fantasizing about his bright future ahead, a voice shattered his reverie.
"One million three hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Coins!"
Everyone was stunned.
If that amount of spirit coins were converted to gold, it would be equivalent to one hundred and thirty five million gold coins. Where the hell do these riches come from?!
Moreover, it was just an estimate while the exact value of the spirit coins must be much higher than that. After all, to obtain a spirit coin, you needed to exchange it with invaluable treasures such as Dou Methods and Techniques, pills, and so on. Their real value far exceeded that of gold coins, to the point where gold coins could no longer measure their worth.
The Valley Chief of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen, curved his lips into a smile, "I'm sorry, but this Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is mine."
Zhai Xing was shocked, "Damn it, I completely forgot about him..."
Ya Fei smiled gently, "The guest in private room 2 has bid one million three hundred thousand spirit coins. Is there anyone who would like to offer a higher bid?"
"Raise the bid!" Zhai Xing growled through clenched teeth, seething with anger. "I don't believe that mere Burning Flame Valley can truly compete with us!"
Zhai Xing, furious, muttered through clenched teeth, "Raise the bid. I don't believe that mere Burning Flame Valley can truly compete with us!"
The reason he hadn't caused a commotion was mainly because he feared that if other Heavenly Venerate or Half-Saint experts discovered his purchase of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, he would be in trouble.
Otherwise, according to the rules of the Hall of Souls, he would be required to hand it over unconditionally, or he would face the extraction of his soul or even death on the spot.
The Hall of Souls dealt with those who broke the rules with extreme cruelty, using methods more brutal than one could imagine. Even though Zhai Xing held the title of Heaven Venerate and was a powerful Five-Star Dou Venerate, he might not even get a chance to speak in front of the Hall Master.
He had hoped to acquire the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill without anyone knowing, but he hadn't expected Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, to suddenly interfere!
How infuriating!
Zhai Xing grabbed Protector Wu by the throat and coldly said, "Tell those brats in the Magical Beast Mountain Range that I'm going to see blood!"
Protector Wu froze and quickly responded, "Venerable, we mustn't! If we act rashly, it could cause unnecessary trouble. We should use our wealth to crush them instead!"
Seeing Protector Wu so fearful, Zhai Xing was furious and threw him to the ground in frustration. Then he cast a deep, intense gaze full of hatred toward Tang Zhen's location, exuding a strange and powerful pressure.
"One million four hundred thousand!"
As the two factions continued to compete for the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, the other powerful figures in the room watched with interest, curious to see who would emerge victorious in the end.
Gu Xun'er pursed her lips and asked, "Do we have any leads on these two forces?"
Ling Ying, standing beside her, replied in a low voice, "Due to the Heaven Ascending Pavilion's interference, it's impossible to use spiritual power to probe and determine their identities. However, judging by their bidding, it's clear that they have abundant resources and are likely from the Central Plain."
Because every private box maintained strict confidentiality, unless someone explicitly revealed their identity, it was impossible to uncover any information about them.
If someone tried to use spiritual power to investigate, it would be disrupted by the special barrier of the Heaven Ascending Pavilion. At best, the intruder's spirit would be affected, and at worst, they could cough up blood and die.
These were the rules of the auction house!
Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to back down, Zhai Xing's expression changed, his face contorted with rage as he clenched his fists and spat out, "Damn it! Does he want to die?"
"Venerable, please calm your anger. The Heaven Ascending Pavilion does not allow unauthorized fighting. If we're caught, we'll be expelled from the auction house," Protector Wu hastily reminded, fearing that Zhai Xing might disregard the rules due to his personal desires.
He had once witnessed a strong expert from the Chuyun Empire trying to steal the Green Lotus Core Flame, only to be killed on the spot. If not for Pavilion Master Li's mercy, the Chuyun Empire might have been destroyed by now.
Zhai Xing wasn't foolish; he knew how strict the Heaven Ascending Pavilion's rules were. But the fury in his heart was hard to quell, so he could only resort to crushing the competition with his wealth.
"One million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins!"
A sudden uproar broke out in the auction house. No one had expected the price of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill to reach such heights. It was already far beyond the reach of these lower-level Dou Emperors.
Tang Zhen snorted coldly. If the other party raised the bid again, he wasn't going to back down. If necessary, he would offer something even more valuable for auction.
He didn't believe that the other side would have the courage to keep bidding!
Sure enough, after hearing the bid, Zhai Xing hesitated for a moment. With two valuable treasures already up for auction, more precious items would surely follow. It wouldn't be wise to waste too many Spirit Coins here.
A sinister gleam flashed across Zhai Xing's face as he pondered. He decided to withdraw from the bidding for now. If necessary, he would wait until the auction ended to seize the pill.
After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, killing and looting were common occurrences. If the old fool wanted to oppose the Hall of Souls, so be it.
If he wished to die, then Zhai Xing would be happy to fulfill it!
No one had ever succeeded in snatching something that the Hall of Souls desired!
Ya Fei smiled graciously and said, "One million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins. Is there anyone who wishes to bid higher? Perhaps one million five hundred and three thousand?"
The crowd whispered among themselves, but no one raised the bid.
"One million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins, going once!"
"One million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins, going twice!"
Ya Fei struck the auction hammer forcefully and announced, "One million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins, sold! Let's congratulate the guest in private room 2 for winning the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill with their bid of one million five hundred thousand Spirit Coins. A round of applause for them!"
The auction continued, showcasing more premium items, and as each treasure appeared, the atmosphere grew increasingly intense.
