The God of Heavens

Chapter 190 Auction

At this moment, a group of extraordinary cultivators walked over. The leader was dressed in purple robes, exuding heroic spirit, with wild black hair and unfathomable eyes.

His name was Yao Yuekong, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace. They ignored the Golden Crow Blazing Sun Pill and instead looked at another display stand.

"Are these Body Tempering Pills all made from the essence blood of powerful savage beasts?" Yao Yuekong asked with burning eyes.

On the display stand were several fist-sized Body Tempering Pills, each with a swirling phantom of a savage beast on its surface, occasionally emitting deafening roars that were awe-inspiring.

The most eye-catching item was a Qilin Treasure Pill. A Qilin seemed to emerge from the surface of the pill and roar continuously. The sound was so realistic that it sent chills down everyone's spines.

It wasn't very big, only a little over a foot long, and its entire body was purple-gold, shining brightly.

As everyone stared intently, they could vaguely see a purple Qilin emerging from the Great Wilderness, terrifying beyond measure, swallowing the sun and moon, causing the stars to tremble!

Everyone was horrified, gasping in shock, and many couldn't help but tremble.

Besides the Qilin, there are also many other precious pills such as the White Tiger, Jade Dragon, and Suanni, all surrounded by the phantom images of savage beasts, totaling nine pills.

Yao Yuekong's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Their Heavenly Demon Palace specialized in demonic arts, and their physiques were special. Such powerful beast blood essence was a priceless treasure that they could not ask for.

"One pill of Pure Source is worth 50,000 catties," the waiter announced the price.
Those around gasped in disbelief, utterly giving up hope.

"Alright, I'll take them all." Yao Yuekong said. It was only 50,000 jin of source, which he could afford. Besides, these things were very useful to him.

Wait!

A cold shout suddenly rang out, and a man dressed in golden armor strode in. His skin was as white as wheat, his features were sharply defined, and he exuded a fierce aura.

It was Jin Chixiao, the heir of the Northern Plains Golden Family, whose status was comparable to that of the Holy Son of the Holy Land, and who had always been at odds with the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"These pills, my Golden Family will take them!" Jin Chixiao's gaze was like lightning, fixed on Yao Yuekong.

He knew that Yao Yuekong possessed the Heavenly Demon Body, a physique whose status among demons was comparable to that of the Ancient Sacred Body among humans.

Unfortunately, Yao Yuekong was betrayed in his childhood, resulting in a congenital deficiency in his Heavenly Demon Body, leaving him with a persistent deficiency in his cultivation. Seeing how much he valued these precious pills, how could Jin Chixiao allow him to have his way?
"Jin Chixiao, what do you mean?" Yao Yuekong's black hair danced lightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

He did indeed sense a special aura emanating from these pills; long-term consumption might compensate for the innate deficiencies of his Heavenly Demon Body. This was thanks to the wondrous fusion of the Jade Pool Divine Spring and the essence of savage beasts, which was highly beneficial to demon cultivators.

"It's just a fair bidding process, what? You have a problem with that?" Jin Chixiao stood his ground, a mocking expression on his face. With the behemoth that was the Golden Family behind him, he naturally had no fear of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

"Looks like someone emboldened you." Yao Yuekong sneered.

It is no secret that ancient creatures have recently awakened, and although the Golden Family has established itself in the Northern Plains, it borders the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.

Rumors circulate that they originally migrated from the Eastern Wilderness, and that they even possess the bloodline of the ancient Golden Clan.

Lin Yu walked over and saw this scene. He frowned. Yao Yuekong was an old friend of his. They had traveled together in the Holy City back then. As for Jin Chixiao, he was a descendant of the Golden Ancient Clan, yet he mingled among the human race and called himself the Golden Royal Family. His heart was despicable.

However, Lin Yu is now far removed from worldly affairs. The mere Golden Family is nothing but an ant in his eyes. What he truly cares about is the ancient royal family behind them.

"Demon Moon Sky! My Golden Family is the legitimate royal family of the human race. Don't you dare to make false accusations!" Jin Chixiao shouted sternly.

"Heh, let's see how long you can keep up this act." Yao Yuekong sneered, but the words stopped abruptly.

In the end, all the divine pills ended up in Jin Chixiao's possession. Seeing there was no more excitement to be had, the onlookers dispersed.

At that moment, a figure appeared silently beside Lin Yu.

"Brother Lin, since we parted in the Holy City, your brilliance has only surpassed that of the past." Yao Yuekong smiled and cupped his hands. "Recently, you have stirred up a storm, truly leaving us far behind."

Lin Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent: "It was just a coincidence that I walked a few extra steps. Brother Yuekong is too kind."

"What you just told me in your telepathic message, is it true? Can it really make up for my congenital defect?" Yao Yuekong suddenly took half a step forward, her voice trembling.

Lin Yu nodded slightly, his tone firm: "Of course."

Yao Yuekong let out a long sigh, a smile appearing in his eyes: "In that case, I will wait and see. I will never forget Brother Lin's great kindness!"

“Chop your hands!”

This new term spread like wildfire throughout the Sacred Realm of Taixu, supposedly originating from the Sacred Land of Yaoguang. The reason is simple: the goods here are simply irresistible.

Looking around, the exhibition stands were filled with rare treasures that are hard to find elsewhere. Although the prices were staggering, the effects were indeed immediate.

While the cultivators were distressed about the cost of source stones, they went on a buying spree. Even the most frugal rogue cultivators couldn't resist the temptation of high-quality, low-priced items and made their purchases.

The most popular is the "Jade Spring Pill," personally refined by the Holy Son of Yao Guang. This pill is as clear as crystal, containing divine light, and can quickly replenish divine power and heal injuries. Even the great powers of the Sendai realm regard it as a treasure.

Although only a description is available on the jade slip, the reputation of the Yao Guang Holy Land is guaranteed, and cultivators are scrambling to hoard the goods, whether for their own protection or to leave to their descendants, it is the best choice.

"I'll take this bottle!"

"Give me three bottles too!"

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment! I'll take all five of these last bottles!"

In the trading area, similar shouts rose and fell. The cultivators, their eyes red with greed, were just like ordinary people rushing to buy New Year's goods at a market. Except they weren't spending copper coins, but rather thousands of kilograms of pure source stones.

"Hurry to booth B36, they sell Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Dan there!" A sudden exclamation rang out.

"What?! Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Dan? That's Yao Guang's signature pill!"

"Hurry! Hurry!" The trading area instantly erupted in chaos as cultivators transformed into streaks of light and swarmed toward the booths, turning the once orderly venue into complete disarray.

"Which bastard spread false information? I'm so angry!"

The first cultivator to arrive bristled with excitement. What was displayed on the stand wasn't the legendary Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Pill at all; it was clearly a "Zhu Xi Lesser Xuan Pill"!
The waiter explained with a professional smile, "Distinguished guest, this is the Grade B exhibition area. If you require high-level treasures, please proceed to the Grade A exhibition area."

"This elixir was refined using the precious blood of the powerful Golden Crow combined with the true water of the Taiyin."

A single word makes all the difference! This elixir is only effective against half-step Great Powers.

"Would you like anything else, sir?" the waiter asked softly.

The powerful figure frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then waved his hand helplessly: "Fine, fine, give me thirty pills. Lesser Mystic Pills are better than nothing."

As he spoke, he still took out an Originium. After all, it bore the name "Zhu Xi," so it couldn't be too bad.

[The monthly auction for the Yao Guang Bao Que Palace has officially begun. Would you like to enter the auction?]

When this divine prompt resounded in the minds of all cultivators, the entire Taixu Sacred Realm fell silent. The instant they confirmed, the figures of thousands of cultivators vanished from their original spots and instantly appeared within a majestic celestial palace.

"Honored guests, please follow me." A young girl dressed in a flowing white fairy dress gave a graceful bow and led the group to a magnificent palace floating in the air.

These elegant rooms are like celestial palaces, with jade walls as clear as mirrors. Leaning on the railing, one can take in the magnificent auction scene below.

"It's finally begun." A young cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but worry: "That Dragon Transformation Pill..."

"This time, I must win a Longevity Pill!" The white-haired old cultivator's eyes were like torches, and his withered fingers gripped the bidding jade token tightly.

"when--"

With a long, resonant chime, the entire Yao Guang Palace fell silent. The Purple Jade Terrace shone with radiant light, a thousand auspicious rays illuminating it. At this moment, representatives from various powerful factions had taken their seats, and the auction officially began.

"The Yaoguang Treasure Palace Monthly Auction will open promptly on the first day of each month. The starting price for all items is at least 100,000 catties of pure source, and each bid must be at least 5,000 catties of pure source."

As this clear announcement was made, a phantom image of a bright moon appeared on the auction stage, casting its gentle light and illuminating the auctioneer's figure.

"Today's first item—" The auctioneer gracefully raised his wide sleeves, and a jade box slowly rose into the air.
"A bottle of Taixu Enlightenment Pill contains three pills. This pill is made primarily from Enlightenment Tea leaves, which I believe needs no further explanation. Starting bid: 100,000 catties of pure source per bottle."

The whole place was in an uproar.

"What? The divine pills refined from the Enlightenment Tea are such treasures right off the bat?"

A cultivator exclaimed in surprise, "Enlightenment Tea grows on the Undying Mountain, and at most thirty can be picked from the Undying Mountain each year."

"The Holy Land of Yao Guang is indeed generous; coming to this auction was the right decision!" A leader-level figure clapped his hands in praise.

"Is the effect of this pill comparable to that of the original leaf?" someone asked.

The auctioneer smiled slightly: "Guaranteed by the reputation of the Yao Guang Holy Land, each of these precious pills has the same medicinal effect as a complete Enlightenment tea leaf."

"110,000 jin of raw materials!" The words had barely left his lips when bidding erupted in unison.

Since the Holy Land of Yao Guang has guaranteed it, there's no problem. Where else can you see so many enlightenment treasures under normal circumstances?

“150,000,” an elder from a certain holy land said in a deep voice.

"Eighteen thousand!" the Holy Lord of the Ji family roared.

"Two hundred thousand." A figure shrouded in mist raised the price, clearly not wanting others to know their identity.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" The imperial uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty pushed the price to a new high with overwhelming force.

"Amitabha, 270,000." The divine monk from the Western Desert spoke, and several old monks with radiant light on the back of their heads appeared, immediately causing an uproar in the auction hall.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand, old monk! You Western Desert people have a Bodhi tree and you still want to compete with us for the precious elixir? You're truly inhuman!"

The important figures of the Jiuli Dynasty slammed their fists on the table and stood up, drawing a chorus of agreement.

“Amitabha, the Bodhi tree has already entered Nirvana, and now it is nothing but a rotten tree.” The monk at the Buddha gate explained with a bitter face. He did not understand why everyone was targeting him.

Ultimately, this bottle of precious pills was auctioned off for the astronomical price of 280,000 jin of pure source material, which was truly astonishing.

"Next up is the second item!" With a wave of his arm, the auctioneer conjured up a phantom image of a pill that appeared above the auction stage, every detail clearly visible.

The precious pill is the size of a dragon's eye, crystal clear like jade, surrounded by yin and yang energies, subtly conforming to the principles of the Great Dao.

"The Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Dan is made by combining the tender branches of the Fusang Divine Tree with the Taiyin True Water. It can purify the Immortal Platform and make the Primordial Spirit immortal. There are three bottles in total, with three pills in each bottle. The starting price is 150,000 jin of Yuan. The first bottle will be auctioned now."

"It's finally out! Wasn't this what we went to the auction for?"

"Yaoguang did well this time, releasing nine precious pills at once."

Finally, a commotion broke out in the private rooms below, as many people were drawn in and immediately began bidding.

"150,000 jin of source!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand jin of source!"

"Two hundred thousand jin of source!"
