The God of Heavens

Chapter 191 Taiqing Jade Elixir Lesser Rejuvenation Pill

The price of Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Dan rose rapidly, breaking through the 300,000 mark in no time, leaving ordinary cultivators dumbfounded.

The young cultivator asked curiously, "Master, is this Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Pill really that precious? Aren't there also Zhu Xi Xiao Xuan Pills on the display stand?"

"Foolish!" the old man glared and scolded, "The Fusang Divine Tree is an elixir of immortality, how can it be compared to the mere blood of the Golden Crow?"

"It turns out that the Holy Son of Yaoguang also possesses an elixir of immortality. He is truly blessed."

"Good fortune?" The old man sneered, saying meaningfully:
"Kid, let me teach you a lesson. In the cultivation world, luck alone isn't enough. If the Immortal Elixir belongs to someone else, and your strength isn't enough, you won't be able to keep it in the end."

He pointed to the highest box in the auction hall: "See? Why are those big shots so well-behaved today? It's because..."

Shortly after, the auction for the three bottles of Zhu Xi Xuan Lu Dan ended. The first two bottles were each sold for 300,000 jin of source material and were won by two major holy lands. The last bottle was sold for a sky-high price of 320,000 jin of source material and fell into the hands of a mysterious buyer.

"The third item up for auction is a bottle of three pills of the Human Essence Longevity Pill, made primarily with Human Essence Fruit and supplemented with various precious ingredients. It can extend one's life by three hundred years."

"boom--"

The entire auction hall erupted in chaos. The old antiques, nearing the end of their lives, were all red-eyed, their breathing erratic, and they practically wanted to rush onto the stage.

"Starting bid: 200,000 jin of pure mineral oil!"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!" A white-haired, cult leader-level figure tremblingly raised the jade tablet.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Someone immediately raised the price.

"Three hundred thousand! Don't even try to take it from me!" An uncle of the Guhua Dynasty slammed his fist on the table and stood up. His rotten aura filled the room, silencing everyone for a moment.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand! Who do you think you're calling 'father'?" The Supreme Elder of the Jiang family, his hair and beard bristling, glared angrily.

"I'd heard that the Jiang family had some connection with the Ancient Hua Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be true?"

"You mean Emperor Hengyu has gone to the Central Plains?"

The royal uncle of the Guhua Dynasty was in tears, speechless and choked with sobs. If this old man beat him up, it would be a complete waste, since the old man was of a much higher generation than him.

The scene was incredibly lively, with a group of old men bidding against each other like they were on drugs, none of them willing to concede to the other. In the end, they could only buy in bulk, with each person getting one pill.

"Boom!"

As the auction gavel fell heavily, the bottle of Human Essence Longevity Pill was finally sold for a sky-high price of 450,000 catties of source material.

Although many of the older cultivators in the room were unwilling, they tacitly refrained from raising the price further, waiting for the other longevity pills to be offered.

Later, several longevity pills made primarily from the 50,000-year-old Lesser Medicine King were auctioned off, each capable of extending lifespan by 300 years. The prices for each pill exceeded 150,000 jin of Yuan.

Subsequently, the atmosphere in the auction hall grew increasingly heated, with one treasure after another being unveiled, eliciting gasps of amazement, and the transaction prices becoming more and more astonishing.

When a piece of jade, vibrant green and translucent, was placed on a jade plate and brought into the hall, the auction reached its climax.

"The thirty-second item for auction: a piece of Nine Heavens Azure Jade!"

"Wow!"

This time, a commotion broke out at the scene, and everyone stood up. In the end, this item was auctioned off, which surprised everyone.

Biluo, the first heaven in Taoism, is a sky filled with azure clouds, hence the name "Biluo". To dare to use such a name, this thing is naturally extraordinary.

It was a jade disc, the size of a millstone, the color of the blue sky, clear and without any impurities. It lacked a warm, smooth texture, but rather seemed to have frozen the vast expanse of clear sky, cold and transparent, with a flowing luster.

The auctioneer's voice echoed through the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, this piece of Azure Jade before you is an excellent material for refining a king-level divine weapon!"

He gently stroked the jade, which was entirely emerald green and gleamed with a faint light, that was floating in the air, and continued, "Back then, the Azure King of Zhongzhou used this material to forge the Azure Bell, which swept across the eight wastelands and established his invincible reputation!"

The audience erupted in uproar. Many cultivators recalled the legend that 20,000 years ago, the Azure King, wielding a divine bell, single-handedly suppressed the geniuses of his generation. His power was comparable to that of the current Eastern Wilderness God King, Jiang Taixu.

"The value of a king's weapon is self-evident," the auctioneer said, surveying the room. "With such a weapon, one can dominate among those of the same rank, and even take on many opponents single-handedly!"

Several high-ranking figures sat up straight, their eyes gleaming. Such a divine resource was a rare find, and once missed, it might be impossible to find again in this lifetime.

"Starting bid: 700,000 jin of pure mineral oil!"

The moment the words were spoken, a chorus of bids erupted:
"Eight hundred thousand!"

"Nine hundred thousand!"

"one million!"

Many people were very excited, as they all wanted to get their hands on the 100,000 jin of raw materials at once, even with the price increase.

Ye Fan, who came here in disguise, was astonished. There were so many people with Yuan. Although he was a successor of the Yuan Master, he had never been so casual about throwing away hundreds of thousands of catties of Yuan.

Those prodigies aspiring to reach the King realm were now filled with rage. After all, a suitable King-level weapon could often determine how far a cultivator could ultimately go.

"Two million catties of pure ore!" A cool voice came from the Zhongzhou private room, immediately pushing the price to a new high.

The crowd gasped; this figure was beyond the means of most factions. But the bidding continued.

"Two million one hundred thousand!" The Kitahara Golden Family gritted their teeth and raised the price.

"Two million two hundred thousand!" the Great Yan Holy Land solemnly quoted.

"Two million three hundred thousand!" The voice of the patriarch of the Purple Mansion Holy Land trembled.

Finally, when the young disciple of that prominent family in Zhongzhou shouted out the astronomical price of "2.4 million catties of source material," the entire auction house fell silent.

"Sold!" The auctioneer declared with a final strike of the gavel.

Everyone turned to look, seeing the Central Continent disciple's composed expression, with the elder beside him handling the source stones. Such generosity clearly indicated the backing of an ancient family; no individual could possibly produce so many source stones on their own.

"The final item up for auction—the Supreme Purity Jade Elixir Lesser Rejuvenation Pill!" The auctioneer's voice had barely faded when the entire hall erupted in cheers. A pill, entirely emerald green and shrouded in a swirling aura, appeared in mid-air, its swirling liquid seemingly carrying the echoes of the Great Dao.

"This elixir can replenish congenital deficiencies, rebuild one's original foundation, and even extend lifespan by five hundred years! Starting bid: 800,000 catties of pure essence!"

"boom!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers; no one could remain calm. Everyone knew the value of this elixir.

Although cultivators have abundant vitality and limb regeneration is common, injuries to their innate origin are extremely difficult to repair.

When Ye Fan was suppressed by the Innate Dao Diagram during his journey through the Four Extreme Heavenly Gates, he was only able to recover thanks to the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine Fruit from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. This divine pill can repair innate constitution and reshape one's foundation, making it a priceless treasure.

Not to mention that it can extend one's lifespan by 500 years. You should know that only a single king of herbs can extend one's lifespan by 400 years, requiring an 80,000-year wait. Even the great emperors of ancient times could not live that long.

"Nine hundred thousand catties of pure source!"

"One million catties of pure source!"

"1.2 million catties of pure source!"

The price climbed at an astonishing rate, breaking through the 1.3 million mark in the blink of an eye.

"1.5 million catties of pure minerals!"

The astonishing bid, shouted from a young man in white, instantly silenced the entire auction hall. The young man appeared to be about thirteen or fourteen years old, with skin as smooth as jade, eyes as black as lacquer, and dressed in spotless white robes—a truly handsome young man.

"Who is this person? How could they just casually announce 1.5 million jin of ore?"

"His true form is concealed in the Void Realm; who knows which family's young master he is?"

Lin Yu glanced at her and saw that it was a young girl. Judging from her appearance, although he had never seen her before, the person dressed like this must be Xia Jiuyou. Only she could be so indifferent to Yuan.

Xia Jiuyou probably bought this pill for Gai Jiuyou. However, Gai Jiuyou's Dao injury is not much use with just the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill. At most, it can only provide temporary relief. Only the Immortal Elixir can solve the problem.

"Two million catties of pure source." Suddenly, a young man spoke calmly.

All sounds at the scene ceased. This person's weight increased from 1.5 million jin to 2 million jin, demonstrating his determination to win.

"Yao Yuekong, it is said that he possesses the Heavenly Demon Body. He was ambushed in his childhood and has been trying to make amends ever since. Now he has finally met his match."

"The Heavenly Demon Body is the supreme physique of the demon race, possessing enormous potential. If it can be restored, the world will have another prodigy."

"I'm afraid others might not think that way."

"Two and a half million catties of pure source." Another person spoke up.

"It's Jin Chixiao from the Northern Plains Golden Family. He has indeed started targeting Yao Yuekong."

"Two million eight hundred thousand catties of pure source." Yao Yuekong continued to raise the price.

"Three million catties of pure source." Jin Chixiao remained expressionless, looking like he had made up his mind.

"Are they crazy? It's just a divine pill, yet it's being fought over like this. This is truly outrageous!" Everyone was astonished.

"Three and a half million!"

Xia Jiuyou made another offer, which once again shocked everyone, and they all speculated about his identity.

Yao Yuekong was also a little nervous. He knew that this pill was his only hope for restoring his Heavenly Demon Body. If it were intercepted by someone else, he would be devastated.

“Three million six hundred thousand catties of pure source.” Jin Chixiao’s tone was uncertain, as if he was considering whether he could still continue.

"Three million eight hundred thousand catties of pure source." Yao Yuekong was very assertive, adding two hundred thousand catties of source in one go.

"Alright, congratulations, Brother Yuekong!" Jin Chixiao said with a forced smile. If he hadn't spent so much money beforehand, he would have definitely gotten this divine pill.

"Three million nine hundred thousand catties of pure source." Xia Jiuyou gritted her teeth. She had bought several longevity pills before, and now she was almost out of money. After all, no one would carry so many source stones with them.

"Four million catties of pure source!" Yao Yuekong said decisively.

"boom!"

The hall erupted in chaos; the astonishing number of people caused all the cultivators to lose their composure, and a torrent of discussion arose.
"My God! Four million catties of pure mineral source!"

"This is equivalent to the income of a medium-sized sect for ten years!"

"As expected of the Heavenly Demon Palace, they are indeed very wealthy!"

Xia Jiuyou said bitterly, "If I hadn't taken pictures of other things before, I definitely wouldn't have let you get away with it."

The auctioneer struck the gavel at the opportune moment: "Sold! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Yaoyuekong!"

Yao Yuekong rose to his feet and greeted the surroundings. The price was astonishing, but for him, it was worth any price to compensate for his congenital defect! Moreover, he had the support of the entire Heavenly Demon Palace.

Although the auction at Yao Guang Tian Que had ended, the venue was still bustling with activity. Many cultivators lingered between the various booths, with the Jade Spring Pill booth being the most popular.

"Fellow Daoist, three more bottles of Jade Spring Pills, please!"

"This pill has a remarkable recovery effect; it's always good to buy some to keep on hand."

Several rogue cultivators were seen haggling around the booth. This basic elixir, refined with divine spring water, was affordable yet remarkably effective, making it ideal for daily use.

Even more remarkably, some veteran cultivators sat cross-legged near the venue, seemingly intending to reside there permanently. For them, it was easy to spare a wisp of divine thought to monitor this place, especially after learning that more longevity pills would appear at next month's auction.

These ancient beings, nearing the end of their lives, now had a fanatical glint in their eyes. The mere thought of extending their lives was enough for them to squander their entire life savings. After all, in the face of life and death, no amount of source stones was of any value.
