Chapter 218 The Small Meeting of the Pill King - Big Round 2

The first Soul-Nourishing Immortal Pill was sold for 132,000 mid-grade Xuan Stones.

The second one is 136,000.

The third one cost exactly 140,000!

After selling these two pills suitable for the early stages of Spirit Transformation, Wu Shaogan took out the Treasure Light Pill—a simple and clear name that means it promotes the symbiotic treasure to emit a large amount of treasure light and increases the speed at which cultivators and symbiotic treasure clones are condensed in each minor realm.

It can be taken at any level.

In addition, there are other types of pills whose effects are roughly the same as those of level five or six pills.

Gradually, nineteen types of level-seven pills were produced.

·

At this moment, many cultivators had a vague premonition.

Sure enough, Wu Shaogan took out the Hundred Treasures Pill, which has the effect of prolonging life, in the next moment.

It is quite rare. As the name suggests, there are more than a hundred kinds of precious medicines needed for alchemy!

To achieve a harmonious balance of medicinal effects and successfully extract the elixir, the effort required is immeasurable.

It can also increase lifespan significantly, from low-grade to high-grade, adding 100, 150, 250, and 400 years respectively.

It is still a matter of taking only one pill in a lifetime.

At this moment, many cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage had burning eyes.

In the end, the transaction prices were all between two and three million mid-grade Xuan stones—as expected, there was no tenfold premium, but there was still five or sixfold.

·

In the private room where the Wan family was staying.

The elder slumped back, looking utterly dejected.

It failed.

He competed for the Hundred Treasures Elixir three times, and failed each time.

In an instant, the dozen or so members of the Wan family who had come with him all looked at him.

Some of the younger generation were puzzled.

However, the Grand Elder was quite eager during the bidding, and he refused to budge even when the price reached 2.3 million mid-grade Xuan Stones—an amount that the Wan family could hardly afford!

After the struggle failed, the Grand Elder's aura became so desperate...

The reason for this is quite intriguing.

Wan Qingyao asked almost immediately, "Elder, what's wrong? Why do you insist on bidding for the Hundred Treasures Pill?"

Wan Qingqu felt a tightness in his chest, a very strong sense of foreboding creeping over him.

The First Elder looked at Wan Qingyao, shook his head slightly, and refused to say more.

Wan Qingqu remained silent, but observed the other elders who had come over. They also had furrowed brows, clearly knowing the inside story.

Wan Qingyao wanted to ask more questions, but Wan Qingqu pressed down on the back of her hand, stopping her from asking further.

The other younger members looked somewhat frightened; they opened their mouths but remained silent.

Wan Qingqu composed himself.

Actually, it was already a bit strange that the patriarch didn't come to the auction in person, but instead sent several elders with a few younger clansmen.

So he secretly released a wisp of his soul and quietly transmitted it to the Grand Elder.

[Elder, is it that the Ancestor urgently needs to extend his life? Given the Ancestor's cultivation level, he should still have over five hundred years of lifespan remaining. Why the sudden urgency?]

The Grand Elder was slightly taken aback.

He was very familiar with Wan Qingqu, a younger generation member. Wan Qingqu was quite talented, very perceptive, and had a good heart. His sister, Wan Qingyao, also had many strengths and made many contributions to the family business. Both siblings were capable and worthy of being cultivated.

Although both of them were only at the Enlightenment Realm, the fact that they failed to acquire the Hundred Treasures Pill would lead to many problems. The outstanding younger generation in the clan had already noticed something was wrong, and they were even direct descendants of the ancestor... so he decided not to hide it anymore.

The ancestor had experienced a tragic period, which reduced his lifespan to only ten years.

Wanqingqu's pupils suddenly contracted!

The ominous premonition came true!

He was overwhelmed with emotion and suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.

The Wan family has only one Spirit Transformation Ancestor, who is also the pillar of the entire Wan family. The strongest person below him is at the peak of the Palace Building stage, who seems to have a chance to transform into a Spirit Transformation expert—but it is absolutely impossible within ten years!

Once the patriarch passes away, the Wan family will inevitably have to divide up a large amount of profits, and the entire family's status will decline... Many of their businesses will be lost.

Moreover, the family will inevitably be in turmoil.

Other forces that have gained benefits will not want the Wan family to produce more Spirit Transformation cultivators, and will definitely try their best to suppress them. The Wan family members will also live a long period of time suffering from the impact.

If the Ancestor can acquire the Hundred Treasures Pill, which extends his life by four hundred years, he will have more time to search for other life-extending items and more time to protect the family, allowing the Second Elder, who is at the peak of the Palace Constructing Realm and has been in seclusion, to grow up and take over the protection of all families.

·

Wan Qingqu exhaled slowly, calming his mind.

[Has the Grand Elder come here to extend the Ancestor's life?]

The Grand Elder replied via telepathy.

[Let's try our luck. But the premium exceeded our expectations.]

Wanqing Canal fell silent.

[King Sangdan only brought out top-grade pills, but he should still have some high-grade ones on hand. After the auction, perhaps we can find an opportunity to visit King Sangdan and request pills. Even if we don't get any, we can try placing an order. Elder, there's no need to lose your spirit so early... The family is already at a critical juncture; if we worry too much, it will only make the Ancestor anxious.]

The Grand Elder remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he sighed softly.

[We do have this plan, but as you've seen, there are countless people here today. Given the Wan family's status, we probably can't even get close enough to King Sangdan, let alone accept the Wan family's order.]

Wanqing Canal fell silent once again.

That makes sense.

Who is King Sangdan? If their Wan family patriarch were a Nirvana Realm cultivator, they might have been received, but what is a mere seventh-level family in King Sangdan's eyes?

Wan Qingqu hesitated for a long time and did not continue to transmit the message, but he had made a decision in his heart.

He planned to... take the initiative to befriend Zhong Danwang and Brother Wu.

Despite having only met a few times and exchanged a few words, Wan Qingqu, just as he had told his sister, didn't know if those two still remembered him—but in order to give his ancestor and the Wan family a chance, he had to shamelessly give it a try.

I don't ask for anything else, I just hope to have the opportunity to buy pills or place an order.

But Wanqingqu hasn't said it yet.

If it works out, it's not too late to inform the Grand Elder; but if it doesn't work out, it's useless for him to say it now, he'll just be watching the Grand Elder despair again.

Wan Qingqu considered many possible words, trying to figure out how to approach those two people.

I wonder if that little bit of goodwill from back then will stir up any memories for those two...

·

Neither Zhong Cai nor Wu Shaogan knew that their old friend had encountered difficulties, so they naturally didn't pay much attention.

At this moment, both of them straightened their backs slightly.

Meanwhile, the auction hall was completely silent.

The cultivators in the main hall and the smaller private rooms had already competed for the pills they needed, making it impossible for them to even dream of obtaining an eighth-grade pill. However, they had almost never seen an eighth-grade pill before, so now was their chance, and naturally, they were all very much looking forward to it.

In many large private rooms, the gazes sweeping out are quite terrifying!

After waiting for a long time, no Nirvana cultivator offered to bid.

All Nirvanas are awaiting the auction of the eighth-grade elixir.

Numerous burning gazes fell upon Wu Shaogan, as if trying to see through the medicine box beside him, or as if trying to melt him completely.

Zhong Cai also looked at her old man, and noticed the gazes as well, and immediately became a little worried.

The pressure is a bit scary...

If it weren't for the defensive array that had been set up in the auction house beforehand, I'm afraid Old Wu would have had a hard time withstanding the "caring" gazes of those Nirvana cultivators.

As Zhong Cai watched, she realized she had been holding her breath.

Time seems to move very slowly... but in fact, it should still be moving very quickly.

Because Wu Shaogan calmly and conventionally began the auction of the eighth-grade elixir.

"Finally, there will be an auction for level eight pills."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at the first one—the Soul-Protecting Golden Pill."

Wu Shaogan calmly and slowly explained the uses of the elixir.

Then he continued, "They are sold individually, all of superior quality. The starting price for each is 10,000 superior-grade Xuan stones, and each bid must be at least 10 superior-grade Xuan stones."

·

Top-grade! King Sangdan indeed brought out a top-grade item!

As expected of King Sangdan!

Since he used top-grade pills from the beginning, based on the previous pattern, the quality of the subsequent pills should also remain at the top grade.

Many Nirvana cultivators revealed expressions of determination.

However, did the auctioneer forget to specify how many Soul-Protecting Golden Pills there were when the auction began?

The number of pills for the first three levels decreases sequentially, but for the eighth level pills... could there only be one or two of each type?

Many Nirvana cultivators turned serious.

Even those who had become quite friendly with Sang Yunchu and cooperated with him to annoy the Golden Light Pavilion were a little nervous. Admittedly, they had already placed an order with King Sang Dan and would definitely get at least one level eight pill in the future. But these pills were not worthless. If they could get more, why should they be modest?

The Nirvana beings now see each other as thorns in their side.

There are far too few level eight alchemists! Often, even if they only want to obtain one, they have to wait for many years!

so……

Who cares how many there are? I'll photograph every single one!

·

In the blink of an eye, the sounds of bidding filled the air.

The Nirvana cultivators remained relatively reserved when they spoke, even though they had already mentally severed the limbs of their fellow cultivators who were trying to steal their elixirs, they still maintained a peaceful smile on their faces.

Even so, it didn't take long before the bidding price soared to 60,000.

Sixty thousand high-grade Xuan stones—what an enormous number! If converted into Xuan pearls, they could at least form a small mountain.

But when the Nirvana beings bid, they didn't feel the slightest bit of pain.

The difference in cultivation levels is too great, and the difference in spending is as vast as heaven and earth.

Countless cultivators in the lower levels of the main halls, after a quick assessment, couldn't help but feel their hearts surge with excitement!

For cultivators who have achieved Fusion, the price difference is a million times! For cultivators who have achieved Palace Establishment, it can reach ten thousand times! And once the premium is taken into account, it becomes impossible to calculate!

They have been cultivating for quite some time, yet looking at this auction, it seems they can imagine that many years from now, they too will be high above, casually spending millions with their spiritual transformation and nirvana realms!

Many cultivators with lower cultivation levels were momentarily stunned.

They could even feel the terrifying aura emanating from the countless private rooms. Even though it carried no intention to harm anyone, the collisions between them created howling winds that swirled throughout the auction house.

Within that "whistle," there seemed to be an intense struggle, and also a warning to others; some were unwilling to give an inch...

Each wave of pressure was so powerful that, unlike in previous auctions where many cultivators were secretly excited and talking, they were now all silent.

The entire auction hall was almost completely silent except for the bids from the Nirvanas.

Even the sound of breathing was almost non-existent.

Many cultivators at lower levels involuntarily held their breath!

...In this scenario, the Soul-Protecting Golden Pill eventually ended up in the hands of a Nirvana Realm cultivator in the top-floor private room, who offered a price of 143,500 high-grade Xuan Stones.

If it were of top quality, the price would definitely increase further, perhaps even reaching 200,000! But this one is of slightly inferior quality, so selling it for such a price is already very high.

·

Wu Shaogan still sold the second and third stones quite naturally, both of which were top-grade Xuan stones worth 140,000 to 150,000.

The prices are all very reasonable.

·

In a semi-enclosed private room.

Zhong Cai looked shocked and turned to her master, exclaiming, "Master, the pills you auctioned off are really profitable!"

He counted on his fingers and smiled broadly.

"After this auction, Master might be able to build a house out of those mystic stones!"

Sang Yunchu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I already have many houses, why not build one for Cai'er?"

Zhong Cai was never polite to her master, but this time she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no."

Sang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, then looked at the little disciple who had unusually refused him, with a hint of curiosity.

Zhong Cai immediately said, "We can ask our master for everything else, but we have to earn the money for Lao Wu's and my house ourselves. Otherwise, Lao Wu will feel jealous, and I can't bear to see him feel jealous!"

Sang Yunchu was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although Jiang Chongguang, who was standing next to him, did not say anything, he also had a smile on his face.

The two disciples have always had a deep bond, and their two masters have long seen through and gotten used to it, but there are still many times when they are amused by the disciples' straightforward expressions.

Very interesting.

Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "So Cai'er doesn't want the Xuan Stone anymore?"

Zhong Cai's face twitched, clearly showing his pain, but he still said firmly, "No, thank you!" Then, he added in a low voice, "I'll ask my master for money again when I need it."

Sang Yunchu didn't mind at all, and generously said, "It's up to you. Anyway, you'll only be my disciple in this lifetime. But if you need anything, just come to me."

Zhong Cai immediately asked, "Master, are you really not accepting any other disciples?"

Sang Yunchu laughed and said, "You're already causing enough trouble, and you've also taken away half a disciple. That's a full one and a half disciples, enough to keep your master worried."

Zhong Cai chuckled, in a very good mood.

This time, when he looked at his old master again, he also felt the overwhelming pressure surrounding him, as well as the various emotions carried by this pressure and the air currents generated by the collision of the pressure.

Zhong Cai rested her chin on her hand and sighed softly.

"Poor old Wu, he's in so much pain right now, he almost got blown away by the wind..."

Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang: "..."

The two looked at Wu Shaogan, who stood tall and straight amidst the various air currents, his will still be firm, and his feet as steady as a rock... They really couldn't see anything pitiful about him.

At most... it could be considered as a little bit of training.

·

At this moment, Wu Shaogan wore a smile:

"All the Soul-Protecting Golden Pills have been auctioned off. The next one is the Nourishing Essence Pill."

"As the name suggests, it can nourish the fetus."

"Each one is of superior quality, the starting price is..."

The presentation was quite fluent.

Both the auctioneer and the bidders were extremely familiar with each other.

The Nirvana cultivators present were all stunned.

Those who failed to capture the elixir showed expressions of disappointment.

Three pills and they're gone?

Only three Soul-Protecting Golden Pills were produced?

At this moment, many Nirvana practitioners frowned.

Now they feel that King Sangdan is not controlling the quality of the auctioned pills well, there are only three high-grade pills... They would rather he just take out ten or eight level-eight pills, even if some of them are of medium or low grade.

However, this was, after all, an auction where the Pill King would showcase his alchemy skills; earning Xuan Stones was not the main point, so they couldn't say anything more.

Helpless, the attention of many Nirvana cultivators quickly turned to the Nourishing Essence Pill.

"fifty thousand!"

Give me a quote first!

·

The Nourishing Essence Pill is also a very popular level-eight pill, but its effects do not last as long as the Soul-Protecting Golden Pill, so the final transaction price is slightly lower than that of the Soul-Protecting Golden Pill.

But it's only slightly less.

Because the number of Soul-Protecting Golden Pills is so small, many Nirvana cultivators are becoming more cautious, not letting any of them slip by, and are willing to pay higher prices.

However, many Nirvana cultivators also noticed that this time, King Sangdan seemed to have no intention of releasing too many level-eight pills. After the fourth Nourishing Yuan Spirit Pill was auctioned off, the auctioneer announced that the pills were sold out.

The Nourishing Essence Pill is also gone!

The auctioneer was incredibly efficient, as if there were no difference between an eighth-grade pill and the previous grades. His explanations and bids were always smooth – even with these Nirvana pills, one could not discern any emotional fluctuations in him, nor could one judge from his emotions how many of the next type of pill would be available, when the auction would begin, or when it would end.

At this moment, the auctioneer spoke again: "Next up is the Golden Willow Pill, a healing elixir."

·

The healing pills are all pretty much the same, treating both internal and external injuries.

As an eighth-grade elixir, the Golden Willow Pill has a much more complex effect than those of lower grades.

Besides its ability to heal injuries, it can also remove foreign energies and replenish mystic energy.

In other words, if you obtain this pill and suffer severe injuries in battle, you can quickly recover completely by taking it immediately, and even recover about 70-80% of the previous losses!

Therefore, this elixir is quite practical!

And because of its complex effects, it is very difficult to refine.

It's normal for any level eight elixir to be made using dozens or even hundreds of medicinal herbs.

The Golden Willow Pill isn't even the most; it only requires sixty-four different kinds.

...This is what "merely" means to Sang Yunchu.

For most alchemists, just hearing this number makes them understand the difficulty of the refining process!

even--

Many level-eight alchemists actually possess the recipe for the Golden Willow Pill, but very few actually dare to refine it.

Why so few?

Because it's too difficult!

It's not that other grades of elixirs don't use dozens of medicinal herbs, but other elixirs don't use dozens of rare herbs.

The sixty-four kinds of herbs required for the Golden Willow Elixir are all rare and precious medicinal materials.

The process of blending and refining presents even greater challenges!

Therefore, among so many level-eight alchemists, only a handful can refine the Golden Willow Pill.

Of these few people, Sang Yunchu is probably the only one who can refine a high-grade Golden Willow Pill.

·

Numerous Nirvanas dare not be neglected.

They quoted prices rapidly and raised them extremely quickly.

The Nirvana beings wished for a greater quantity of these elixirs.

Having such a Golden Willow Pill is tantamount to having an extra life for many who have entered Nirvana.

In other words, it would avoid losing one's clones due to encountering danger—thus eliminating the need to gather a large amount of resources to reassemble the clones.

At the same time, Nirvana cultivators do not need to spend time condensing clones, which makes them safer.

After all, Nirvana battles are always two against two. Without the ability to create clones, encountering an enemy of the same level would turn into a one-against-two situation, which would be extremely dangerous. One wrong move and you could lose your life.

Naturally, the price of Golden Willow Dan is higher.

"Seventy thousand!"

"Seventy-five thousand!"

"Ninety thousand!"

At first glance, the bids from the Nirvana Group sounded calm and collected, but upon closer listening, one could sense the fierce competition beneath.

Many nirvanas are confrontational.

Whoever obtains the Golden Willow Pill will gain the upper hand in future battles against other Nirvana cultivators—especially those Nirvana cultivators who already have a mortal enemy of the same realm. If their mortal enemy happens to be here as well, they must not let their mortal enemy take the pill away!

Grab it! You absolutely must get your hands on Golden Willow Elixir!

The bidding voices clashed continuously, and amidst the oppressive force of the Nirvana beings, slight popping sounds also rang out.

In that instant, all the level eight puppets in every corner turned their "gaze" to the entire arena, exuding a dignified and imposing aura that caused all the Nirvana beings to slightly restrain their thoughts.

The "bodyguard captain" Jiang Yun, who had been excited by the other Nirvana Realm cultivators being impacted by these level-eight pills, remained calm and composed. But now, as many Nirvana Realm cultivators began to flaunt their achievements, significantly affecting the atmosphere of the auction, his aura quickly spread out, enveloping the entire venue.

Of course, this imposing manner was toned down, and it did not contain any threatening intent, but it was clearly a reminder.

Quoting prices is one thing, but let's not start a fight!

The venue is too small to withstand the test!

Those lower-level cultivators outside the private room also need to be "protected"... It wouldn't be good if they got too excited and someone died.

The Nirvana cultivators ultimately gave face to the Azure Dragon, to the late-stage Nirvana experts, and especially to King Sangdan.

So in just a moment, the tension dissipated considerably. Although the bidding was still fierce and neither side would give way, they were more restrained.

Nirvana's assets are substantial, and their prices remain quite reasonable.

·

The price of Golden Willow Elixir rose steadily, quickly reaching 200,000 high-grade Xuan Stones.

Grade 8 pills are in high demand among all Grade 8 resources, especially now that there are not many Grade 8 alchemists and the number of Nirvana cultivators far exceeds that of Grade 8 alchemists. Therefore, it is normal for even slightly better Grade 8 pills to sell for a high price within this category.

Two hundred thousand is a lot, but it's not the limit.

Before long, 210,000... 220,000...

The final transaction price reached 236,000!

Also from an eighth-level power, Nirvana cultivators had some connections with Tongtian cultivators. Once he reached this price, many Nirvana cultivators recognized him and gave him face.

But when the next Golden Willow Pill comes, let alone just being "related," even the descendants of Tongtian cultivators will no longer give them face—their own cultivation is more important!
