BTTH: Starting With Auctioning Green Lotus Core Flame

Zhai Xing smirked coldly. A mere one-star five-star Dou Venerate, even with immense power, was no more than an ant trying to shake a tree in front of a Dou Saint expert!

If it weren't for coveting the collateral of those powerful people, he wouldn't have let the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley, Tang Zhen, off so easily.

"Fifty million gold coins!"

Upon receiving permission from Zhai Xing, Protector Wu immediately raised his sign, announcing an outrageous price.

Tang Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat strange. He had come alone this time, naturally without any helpers. The other party was clearly aggressive, and it was evident that they would not let the Long You Storage Ring go.

Only two items had appeared in the auction so far. Breaking the rules now wouldn't be a clear move. But the allure of the Long You Ring was too great; even if he couldn't get it, he had to cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen's lips curved, "One hundred million gold coins!"

As soon as he said this, the whole room erupted in an uproar.

All the forces present showed looks of astonishment. One hundred million gold coins? What kind of concept was that? Even a six-grade alchemist like Pill King Gu He couldn't take out a hundred million gold coins at once, and the Long You Storage Ring was at most worth fifty million.

So lavish!

The Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley truly deserved to be a powerhouse of the Central Plains!

Zhai Xing was also startled by the sudden price, never imagining Tang Zhen would bid a hundred million gold coins. This clearly indicated a determination to fight against their Hall of Souls to the end!

Protector Wu said worriedly, "Tianzun, why don't we give up? A hundred million gold coins is indeed too high. Although our Hall of Souls doesn't care about this amount, there are other items coming up. Wasting too much here..."

"Hmph!" Zhai Xing snorted coldly, "A mere five-star Dou Venerate, do they really think their foundation can compete with my Hall of Souls?"

"Before coming here, Chief had already instructed that if we encounter any precious items, we should obtain them at all costs. Just a hundred million gold coins? Keep raising the bid!"

Seeing Zhai Xing's attitude, Protector Wu could only frown. If this continued, it would be difficult to obtain the next auction items, but under Heavenly Venerate's authority, Protector Wu could only comply and announced a bid of one hundred and twenty million gold coins.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Tang Zhen returned to his seat, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile, "Zhai Xing, since you want it so badly, I'll let you have it."

"Hmph!"

Zhai Xing snorted angrily.

That old bastard!

He really knew how to speak. If he hadn't raised the price directly to a hundred million gold coins, he wouldn't have had to spend more to buy it. But his superior had instructed that if he could obtain it, his status would surely rise another level!

"One hundred and twenty million gold coins, once!"

"One hundred and twenty million gold coins, twice!"

"Is there anyone willing to bid higher?" Ya Fei smiled softly, "Anyone for one hundred and thirty million?" Ya Fei looked around the private rooms. If there were no more bids, she would drop the hammer.

"Then, one hundred and twenty million gold coins, three times, sold!"

"Let's congratulate the esteemed Zhai Xing in Room No. 1 for successfully winning the Long You Storage Ring for one hundred and twenty million gold coins!"

"Everyone might find the previous item a bit bland, so let's stir things up again. The next item to be auctioned will surely interest many people." Ya Fei giggled, keeping the audience in suspense.

Ya Fei snapped her fingers lightly, and Niu Meng brought in a box made of fine black jade, which emitted a slightly terrifying aura.

Ya Fei licked her alluring red lips and gently opened the box. Instantly, the sky changed colors, and a powerful shockwave enveloped the entire Heaven Ascending Pavilion. If it weren't for the restraint of the pavilion, this energy might have destroyed all living things nearby.

"What is this..."

Everyone stared in astonishment at the strange pill, their eyes showing complex emotions.

For cultivators, pills were essential in their journey of cultivation. High-grade pills greatly enhanced one's abilities, which was why alchemists hold such esteemed positions in the Dou Qi Continent.

At certain levels of cultivation, reaching a bottleneck was inevitable. At such times, a pill that aided in breakthroughs became extremely important.

"This item is called the Bodhisattva Pill, a eight-colored lightning Tier-8 pill. This pill can increase the chances of breaking through to Half-Saint by twenty percent." 

Although it was just twenty percent improvement, for those stuck at the peak of the nine-star Dou Venerate stage, they would trade everything they have for it.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked, then erupted into excitement. This was an extremely rare treasure. Even big families of Central Plains weren't necessarily able to procure this medicine. Its main ingredient, The Bodhi Seed, was something that was really difficult to obtain. Therefore, despite many people in the eight great clans being able to refine it, it was priceless.

This pill could help Dou Venerates increase their chances of becoming Dou Saints by twenty percent. Adding their own strength, the success rate would be considerable.

The two Dou Venerate experts widened their eyes. They hadn't expected to encounter a Bodhisattva Pill here! 

It wasn't for no reason Half-Saint realm was called an abyss of despair by many experts at the peak of the Dou Zun class. Most of the experts in this world who had reached the peak of the Dou Zun class ended up halting at the edge of this realm. Regardless of how they trained, they were unable to truly step into this so-called Half-Saint realm.

Although the Bodhisattva Pill only increased the success rate by twenty percent, it was something all nine-star Dou Venerates would trade their entire fortunes to obtain.

Such a precious treasure couldn't be missed!

Before Ya Fei could announce the starting bid, the guests were already pumped up. They knew well that obtaining the eight-colored lightning Bodhisattva Pill wouldn't be easy. In fact, a sky-high price was already expected.

"Everyone, you must be aware of the value of this pill. Therefore, I announce that the starting bid for this Bodhisattva Pill is one hundred million gold coins. Each increment must be no less than ten million gold coins."

Upon hearing the price, the forces on the first floor and the second floor all chose to withdraw. They didn't have the means to come up with one hundred million gold coins. Even if they could obtain it, they couldn't protect it.

Those powerful individuals naturally wouldn't allow them the opportunity to auction. So they chose not to bid and instead watched eagerly to see who the ultimate winner would be.

Zhai Xing was at the forefront of this contest. 

Hall of Souls had many nine-star Dou Venerate experts, some of whom had never been able to advance to Half-Saint. Now, with this pill, they naturally had their chance in breaking through increased significantly.
