The God of Heavens

Chapter 499 Dragonwood Taoist
"What, 1.5 billion?"

In a VIP room, Fang Han and Nebula Baby stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"My goodness, this guy is incredibly wealthy! He just added four hundred million in one go? Even if you're rich, you don't spend money like this!"

Yan exclaimed in shock at the Yellow Springs Map.

Four hundred million! Not four stones.

How could he possibly be so rich?

"We've worked so hard to accumulate tens of millions in assets. If we go up against him, we won't even get a taste of the soup."

Fang Han was shocked and secretly prayed that he would not compete with this person.

"Hey, Brother Fang Han, this guy is way richer than me."

Baby Nebula stared wide-eyed for a moment, then continued munching on the peach.

In another VIP room, two Taoist priests were also alerted.

"Even the giants of our time wouldn't spend 1.5 billion to buy a Nirvana Pill. How could Daoist Mu be so wealthy?"

The Taoist priest had a faint golden aura surrounding him that condensed into the shape of a dragon.

This person was actually an ancient giant.

"The young upstarts are incredibly wealthy; I wonder what extraordinary encounters they've had. Our mission is to obtain the Life-Creating Pill; we absolutely cannot let them disrupt our plans. Otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to kill someone."

Known as the Wood Daoist, his body resembled an ancient divine tree, his aura alternating between withering and flourishing; he was actually an ancient giant of demonic origin.

Both of them are beings from the realm of immortality.

They are the masters of "Dragonwood Star" outside the Xuanhuang Great World, ruling over the entire star.

Although he has not achieved immortality, his strength as an ancient giant is enough to rule the stars and establish a sect.

"If I could obtain the Life-Creating Pill, I might be able to break through to immortality, unlike now, where my physical body is damaged and it will take a hundred years to repair." The Dragon Daoist's gaze was deep.

"Although there is only one realm difference between the Longevity Realm and the Immortal Realm, they are worlds apart. We have prepared 2.3 billion pills. If we cannot buy them..." Daoist Mu said, his killing intent palpable.

Upon hearing that the Nirvana Pill had been bid up to 1.5 billion, both giants were shocked and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Fifteen billion!"

Upon hearing the price, Prince Feng nearly crushed the jade thumb ring in his hand.

Even several minor Golden Core cultivators from the Taiyi Sect nearly stood up.

Despite their high status, it was absolutely impossible for them to come up with such a huge sum of money all at once.

"Mr. Hua?"

Prince Feng looked at Hua Tiandu, who was standing beside him with a deep and solemn expression.

"Sixteen billion!"

Hua Tiandu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised the price in a deep voice.

"Two billion."

Lin Yu's voice remained calm and composed in the distance, as if he were not referring to astronomical figures.

"What? More? How could Prince Xu be so wealthy?"

Zhang Tianyi of the Taiyi Sect trembled all over.

As a true disciple of the number one sect in the Xuanhuang Great World, his net worth is only a few hundred million.

"Two billion? That's way too expensive! It far exceeds the value of the Nirvana Pill."

"Two billion, for the first time!"

Even the experienced and knowledgeable Yu Jizi, who was presiding over the auction, couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

Two billion pills—even a master of the Divine Power Realm couldn't refine that many in a lifetime.

"It's not worth 2 billion for Nirvana Pills! Back then, the Great Emperor of the Wilderness traded five or six top-grade treasures for only 1 billion pills."

The Nirvana Pill is merely a Heavenly-grade Supreme Rank pill. It truly disrupts the order!

Those with broad knowledge complained in a low voice.

“Mr. Hua, how about we forget about it? Even if Sixteenth Brother takes the Nirvana Pill, he might not be able to break through.”

Prince Feng has already begun to consider retiring.

Hua Tian frowned.

He could afford two billion, but it was really not worth it for the Nirvana Pill.

Unlike Lin Yu, who had a World Tree sapling and made a fortune every day, he didn't.

Although he received the inheritance of Immortal Venerable Panwu, his own cultivation over the years has also consumed a great deal of energy.

"Ahhh! He lost a fortune buying the Nirvana Pill for 2 billion! If he hasn't survived the Wind and Fire Tribulation yet, wouldn't he be a laughing stock? Senior Brother Hua, we still need to save our pills for bidding on the Immortal Pill."

Zhou Chuyi spoke.

Jealousy distorted his appearance beyond recognition.

"Two billion, for the second time."

"Two billion, the third time."

The gavel fell.

In that very instant, the ownership of the Nirvana Pill was decided.

……

"Prince Xu, this Nirvana Pill is yours."

Lin Yu took the Nirvana Pill and handed it to Prince Xu.

Prince Asahi immediately showed a moved expression.

"This time, fellow Daoist has really gone to great lengths. Twenty billion pills! That's an astronomical figure."

"Two billion pills are just a number to me, nothing important. But it is quite enjoyable to use money to intimidate people."

Lin Yu remained calm.

Two billion White Yang Pills are just a drop in the ocean.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely overcome this great calamity of wind and fire and become the first prince of the Great Xuan Empire."

Prince Xu spoke decisively, his gaze fixed on Lin Yu, filled with emotion.

Lin Yu's expression shifted, sensing that Prince Xu seemed to have misunderstood something.

This auction lasted for three days. The first item auctioned was a good item, and the last item auctioned was also a good item, the grand finale.

However, there were also many treasures interspersed among them, and everyone made their moves.

Prince Xu also personally acquired several items to win over his retainers, which deeply moved them.

Supporting dozens of staff members from the Mystic Realm of Supernatural Powers is no easy task.

Prince Xu was responsible for the cultivation, elixirs, and magical artifacts of every staff member.

This is what our lord should do.

Lin Yu also witnessed Fang Han, disguised as a scholar, purchasing a large quantity of Nine Yang Holy Water. Presumably, this was for repairing the Yellow Springs Diagram.

"Ten million! Greedy Wolf and Bright Moon Hook! Third time, sold!"

"One hundred million! The Thousand Peaks Locking Clouds Formation! Third time, sold!"

"Two hundred million! The Galaxy Returning to Origin Cauldron! Third time, sold!"

……

Each announcement that the auction was successful was heard.

However, after that, there was never such fierce competition again.

Clearly, neither Lin Yu nor Hua Tiandu were interested in the items being auctioned.

For example, the Thousand Peaks Locking Clouds Formation is a large formation composed of mid-grade magic weapons, worth one hundred million.

Lin Yu had absolutely no interest in such things; they were tantamount to having no value whatsoever.

With a single powerful slicing technique, all the mid-grade magical artifacts were destroyed.

As for the Star River Returning Origin Cauldron, which sold for 200 million, it is a top-grade magic weapon. However, because it is a pill furnace, its value is much higher, comparable to a typical top-grade magic weapon.

Lin Yu himself didn't care for this kind of treasure, but it was a highly sought-after treasure in the eyes of others.

It was eventually bought back by a cultivator at the ninth level of supernatural powers.

"After I go back this time, I don't know if I will be able to cultivate to the Golden Core realm. But even if I do cultivate to the Golden Core realm, I will only have a dozen or so supernatural abilities."

A cultivator at the sixth level of the Divine Power Realm, the Unity Realm cultivator, looked delighted, clearly having obtained some good items at the auction.

"I've obtained a treasure this time, which might allow me to condense another supernatural power."

The other Taoist priest was also very happy.

"With this precious pill, my hidden injuries can finally be healed."

Some cultivators secretly rejoiced.

"The last item to be auctioned is about to be brought out!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted, and everyone turned their attention to the field.

The auction is drawing to a close, and the grand finale, the elixir of immortality, is about to be unveiled!
The auctioneer, Yu Jizi, looked both nervous and excited, his voice trembling slightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is the grand finale of this auction—"

A fiery red pill slowly rose, its entire body covered with countless talismans.

Those talismans seemed to be trying their best to suppress the surging medicinal energy in the pill, or perhaps preventing it from escaping.

Even though it was heavily sealed, everyone could still clearly see that the pill was constantly trembling and colliding, trying to break free of its restraints.

"This is the legendary elixir—the Life-Creating Pill!"

Yu Jizi proclaimed loudly, "If cultivators in the Longevity Realm take this, they may be able to break through from the first level to the second level of immortality; if cultivators at the tenth level of Divine Power take it when breaking through to the Longevity Realm, they may even achieve immortality in one fell swoop!"

He paused, then emphasized, "Even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to subdue it if they obtained this pill!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

"So this is the elixir of immortality! Today I finally see its true form!"

"Even a Golden Core cultivator can't defeat a single pill? Then wouldn't I, a sixth-level Divine Ability cultivator, be attacked and devoured by it?"

"As expected of the king of pills, its aura is indeed extraordinary. Such a celestial pill can probably only be refined by experts at the tenth level of supernatural powers."

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yu Jizi announced: "The starting price is one billion, and each bid must be at least fifty million!"

This price caused most people present to gasp in shock.

With a starting price of 1 billion and each bid increasing by 50 million, the final transaction price will likely exceed 3 billion.

After all, the previous Nirvana Pill had fetched a staggering price of two billion.

"One billion fifty million".

The voice of the Dragon Taoist came from the VIP room, accompanied by a powerful aura that swept across the entire venue.

This is the overwhelming power of an ancient giant, clearly intended to intimidate other bidders.

The cultivators in the arena all paled.

"The ancient giant has made its move!"

"Is he trying to force a lower price by projecting such an imposing aura?"

Yu Jizi's face immediately turned ugly.

If this ancient giant were to actually win the elixir at such a low price, he would certainly be severely punished.

This elixir is worth at least three billion!

"One billion."

Just then, Lin Yu spoke up.

His words immediately put Yu Jizi at ease.

"Hmm? I am the Dragon Daoist, the master of Dragonwood Star in the outer realm of the Xuanhuang Great World. If you fellow Daoists would like to give me this immortal pill, I will certainly reward you. Otherwise, do you know what the price is for offending an ancient giant?"

The Dragon Daoist's gaze was deep and unfathomable, and his powerful divine sense swept out, actually trying to investigate the news from Lin Yu's side.

At the same time, his words carried a powerful and imposing air.

"I don't know what the consequences will be if I offend an ancient giant. However, if I'm broke and penniless, I shouldn't even bother bidding, lest I embarrass myself here."

Lin Yu felt a powerful divine sense sweeping towards him, as if trying to see everything about him. He immediately let out a cold snort and unleashed a cutting technique!

The terrifying intent to sever was unleashed by Lin Yu in his current state, instantly shattering that intent into dust and destroying it completely.

"Huh? How dare you!"

Just as Long Daoren was about to use his divine sense to investigate everything, he discovered that his divine sense was directly cut off. He was furious and wished he could kill him immediately.

"Master Long, this is Jiudingxuan. Shouldn't you give me some face?"

At that moment, a figure appeared directly from the void.

The man had a smile on his face.

"Ah, it's the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Venerable. We still have to give the Immortal Venerable face, and we do indeed want to bid for this immortal pill."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the previously arrogant ancient giant immediately became docile. At this moment, Daoist Mu spoke.

"Well, that would be best."

The person who came vanished in an instant.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, this should be an incarnation of the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Venerable, which is why Daoist Longmu dared not act presumptuously. However, since Daoist Longmu dared to threaten you, he has clearly fallen into the demonic path. We must convert them!”

Fan Qingying spoke coldly.

"They must be converted!"

The Ghost Emperor and the Black Nether King also spoke.

"Duhua!"

Fifteen million demons also spoke up.
