People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 133, the curtain falls, see you there!
After Mo Tianxing finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to the VIP seats. Then, he turned around with steady steps and slowly walked out of the center of the auction stage.

Immediately, the floor of the auction stage cracked open again, revealing a passageway. A sprightly old man with white hair walked out with a smile, followed by a group of maids carrying silver trays. The maids moved gracefully across the stage, neatly placing the silver trays on the auction stone platform.

The white-haired old man pointed to a snow-white scroll in the silver tray and went straight to the point, smiling broadly as he said, "Consider this scroll of finger fighting techniques the appetizer for the auction."

"This fighting technique is called Cloud-Piercing Finger, mid-level Profound Rank..."

The white-haired old man was clearly a veteran of the auction. With just a few words of introduction, he stirred up the atmosphere in the room. As soon as he finished speaking, the auction room was filled with shouts of bidding, and the bidding instantly became fierce.

What was rather tacit was that none of the powerful figures in the VIP seats made a sound, and most of them were even taking a nap with their eyes closed.

After all, the people who can sit here are at least at the Dou Wang level. It can't be said that they have absolutely no interest in cultivation techniques and fighting skills below the Earth Rank, but very few can truly move them.

Chen Xiao and the other two did the same, leaning back in their soft chairs, waiting for their target items to appear.

Zi Yan, however, was a restless person. After sitting quietly for a while, she got bored, so she leaned on Chen Xiao's leg, hunched over, and whispered to the Little Fairy Doctor on his right.

As the auction progressed, one after another, rare items that could cause a sensation in Wutan City were brought out and sold, making the atmosphere at the scene increasingly exciting.

About half an hour later, the quality of the auctioned items had clearly improved.

It was at this moment that a treasure that captivated Chen Xiao finally made its appearance.

"Hehe, the item to be auctioned next is a bit strange. It originally belonged to the Eight Doors, and was specially brought out for this auction. However, after our sect's appraisal, we still cannot figure out what its purpose is. We can only confirm that it should be some kind of unknown treasure map."

The white-haired auctioneer bent down, picked up a silver tray, and carefully lifted the brocade cloth covering it.

Suddenly, a tattered old piece of cloth appeared in everyone's sight.

When they first heard about the treasure map, everyone was drawn to it, including the powerful figures in the VIP seats.

However, upon actually seeing what the incomplete painting looked like, the entire audience erupted in boos.

"What's the point of a half-finished map with no beginning or end?"

"The Dou Qi Continent is so vast, who could possibly collect them all? That's wishful thinking."

"That's true. If there were any hope of collecting them all, the Eight Doors wouldn't have put them up for auction."

Hearing the disdainful boos from the crowd, the white-haired old man's smile became somewhat embarrassed.

As agreed, the Eight Doors contributed 30% of the items to the auction. The Black Emperor Sect had long anticipated that Yuan Yi would try some tricks, and indeed, that's exactly what happened.

The value of this fragmented map is unclear; whether it can be considered a rare item depends entirely on Yuan Yi's opinion.

The white-haired old man picked up the ancient piece of cloth with two fingers with a look of disdain, and spread it out in everyone's sight, trying his best to patch it up: "This fragment of map is ancient. Although we don't know what secrets it holds, ancient relics are never simple. If someone were to collect the complete map, they might discover a treasure that would shake the continent and become a top expert overnight. Anyone who is interested might as well take a gamble and try it out!"

Although the words sound nice, unfortunately, apart from a very few who are somewhat interested, 99% of the general public still don't buy it.

Seeing the lukewarm reaction from the audience, the white-haired old man shook his head helplessly and didn't bother to say anything more. Anyway, it wasn't something from the Black Emperor Sect, so he could just deal with it however he wanted.

"According to the rules, the starting price for this fragment of the map is 100,000 gold coins. The auction will now begin."

After waiting for two or three minutes, a voice finally rang out from the venue.

"One hundred and ten thousand..."

The one who made the bid was not Chen Xiao, but a Grand Master passerby who was somewhat interested in him.

Someone made the first offer, and the others, who were also hoping for a similar deal or had a similar interest in the subject, chimed in sparsely.

Throughout the entire process, only three or four people made bids, and each bid was only increased by tens of thousands of yuan, which was far from being considered a fierce competition.

The auction of the fragmented painting was nearing its end when it reached 250,000 gold coins, with only one person reluctantly making a bid.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Xiao, who was in the VIP section, patted Zi Yan, who was lying on him.

The latter immediately understood and said, "Three hundred thousand gold coins."

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a fighting spirit and clearly reached the ears of everyone in the arena.

This was a strong contender in the VIP section, participating in the auction for the first time. For a moment, he attracted the attention of many people, but unfortunately, the view was blocked by the screen, and they could only hear his voice but not see him.

The Grandmaster who had just bid shook his head helplessly and sat down.

He was just a Grand Master with limited assets. If it weren't for his connections, he would have thought that over 200,000 was too expensive.

Now that a powerful expert who is at least a Dou Wang has joined in, he no longer needs to continue, lest he offend someone and needlessly invite disaster upon himself.

The powerful figures in the VIP seats became more interested in the incomplete map because of Zi Yan's involvement, but considering the combination of three Dou Huang powerhouses, they immediately suppressed any unnecessary thoughts.

"Alright, since no one else is bidding, this incomplete map belongs to this young lady."

After waiting for two or three minutes and still no one spoke, the white-haired old man made the final decision with a hammer.

Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face as he watched Zi Yan volunteer to go on stage and hand over the work on the spot. He never expected that Hai Bodong's idea would become a reality.

This incomplete map was obtained so effortlessly.

"nice one?"

The gentle voice of Little Fairy Doctor entered my ears.

Because of Chen Xiao's interference, she was unable to go to the stone chamber in the Monster Mountain Range. This was the first time Little Fairy Doctor had seen the incomplete map; she had only heard Hai Bodong and Chen Xiao mention it occasionally before.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "The specific method for condensing the poison pill was obtained by exchanging a fragment of a map. For those who know its value, they would not hesitate to destroy the Black Emperor Sect for this fragment of a map."

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's telepathic message, Little Fairy Doctor froze on the spot, shock rippling across her eyes, even forgetting to close her moist lips.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile, assuming that Little Fairy Doctor was amazed that he had gotten such a great deal at a low price.

Little did they know, Little Fairy Doctor was experiencing a turbulent mix of emotions.

What is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener.

Having grasped the true value of this incomplete map, and with Chen Xiao even using it to exchange for the method to condense the poison pill, layers upon layers of profound affection were revealed…

It's not clear, it's simply not clear!
Little Fairy Doctor was completely relieved. She shook her head slightly and smiled faintly: "Just for a promise of 'repaying each other with my life' that may never have been fulfilled, you were willing to spend so much. If it weren't for Elder Hai managing the affairs of Zixiao City for you, with your personality, you would probably have squandered your fortune in a few years."

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head in rebuttal, saying, "On the contrary, I have never lost money in any business I have done. A fragment of a map is far inferior to yours."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor gave him a coquettish glare, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Just as she was about to say something, Zi Yan returned after handing over the remaining map, and was somewhat curious about Little Fairy Doctor's appearance.

"What fun things are you guys talking about?"

"..."

With Zi Yan stepping down from the stage, the auction continued smoothly.

A dazzling array of exquisite items appeared one after another, causing the atmosphere in the venue to rise steadily.

Especially when the intermediate-level Earth-rank combat skill, the Six Harmonies Swimming Ruler, was unveiled, the entire venue instantly erupted in cheers, pushing the auction to its climax.

Even the powerful figures in the VIP seats could no longer remain calm.

Even for these Black List powerhouses, a mid-level Earth Rank combat skill is definitely top-tier and can be used as a trump card.

The only thing that disappointed them was that this was a ruler-based fighting technique, which didn't suit any of them.

Of course, this also includes Chen Xiao and the other two.

But these are minor issues. For a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, many people are willing to try changing their weapons.

Moreover, as their strength increases, weapons become increasingly useless to them, so it's not hard to accept that they turn to practicing ruler techniques.

Therefore, the competition for this Six Harmonies Traveling Ruler was more intense than ordinary people could imagine. Even the several Dou Huang powerhouses in the VIP seats argued fiercely, and a considerable grudge was formed in their hearts.

Chen Xiao had no interest in this fighting technique. After asking Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, they both felt the same way.

Therefore, they did not participate in the bidding and instead watched from the sidelines.

"Fight! Fight!"

Zi Yan muttered to herself, "I love watching the drama unfold."

Unfortunately, with Mo Tianxing in charge, Zi Yan's expectations were destined to be dashed.

After fierce competition, the Six Harmonies Traveling Ruler was finally sold to Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, for a high price of 5.5 million.

After the climax, there will inevitably be a period of calm.

The same applies to auctions.

The ownership of the Six Harmonies Traveling Ruler had just been determined. The white-haired old man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile on the auction stage, "The next item is a bit special, but for some people, it will definitely be a hot commodity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the floor slowly opened, and a dozen burly men carried a huge object wrapped in a white cloth onto the stage.

It was at the moment this enormous creature appeared that Zi Yan wrinkled her nose.

"There's a stench of decay; it's from that mummified corpse on the list!"

As if to confirm Zi Yan's words, the white-haired old man suddenly tore off the white cloth, revealing a giant demonic beast corpse that was ten feet wide in front of everyone.

The corpse was long dead, its flesh withered and bones exposed, yet it still exuded a terrifying aura. The most striking feature was its pair of bone wings that shimmered with a white light. Their texture was as translucent as jade, and they seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Based on this alone, it can be concluded that this magical beast was definitely of a high rank in its lifetime!
The white-haired elder looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "This demonic beast corpse was discovered by chance in a mountain stream by our Black Emperor Sect. After the sect leader's personal examination, it was determined that this beast was an unparalleled ferocious beast that was about to break through to the seventh rank and step into the eighth rank!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the hall erupted in chaos.

The eighth-tier magical beast is comparable to a human Dou Zun. Not only is its strength immense, but its lifespan is also extremely long. What kind of power could possibly kill such a being here?

This is a question that even Chen Xiao himself doesn't know the answer to, let alone them...

"Chen Xiao, shall we film?"

From the moment the mummified corpse was brought up, Zi Yan's furrowed brows never relaxed, a deep-seated disgust emanating from her.

The animosity between the Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, these two great magical beast races, has seeped into their blood and is etched into their very bones.

"We'll see. There are some good things inside this dried corpse, but it's not something we absolutely need."

Based on my memory, there were four good things on this mummified corpse.

The demon core, essence blood, bone wings, and those incredibly sharp claws.

Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't mind having too many good things, but dealing with the dried corpse was still quite troublesome for him, given his ice attribute.

Furthermore, even if he managed to remove the bone wings, he didn't have the method to create a flying combat technique like the Nine-Winged Sky Goose, so they wouldn't be able to be used in the short term.

Based on all of the above, obtaining this mummified corpse is a good thing, and it won't have much of an impact if someone else takes a picture of it.

The white-haired old man's gaze swept over the whispering VIP seats, and he understood that these people were the real big spenders.

With a smile on his face, he announced loudly, "Everyone, this mummified demonic beast corpse has been carefully preserved and remains intact since it was acquired by the Black Emperor Sect. I hereby promise that the sect has never touched it in the slightest. We have no idea what treasures are hidden inside. Perhaps, there is even an eighth-tier super demonic core waiting for a destined person!"

The white-haired old man's words instantly ignited the entire audience.

Everyone knows that eighth-tier ferocious beasts are veritable mobile treasure troves. Their tough hides can be forged into top-tier armor, their sharp claws and teeth are more formidable than refined iron weapons, and their blood contains violent energy, making them precious medicinal materials that alchemists dream of.

The most tempting thing, of course, is that possible eighth-order magic core!
Seeing the greed burning in the eyes of the powerful figures in the arena, the white-haired old man's smile grew even more composed. He surveyed the entire arena and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, the value of an eighth-tier ferocious beast cannot be measured in gold coins. Therefore, this auction will not be for gold coins, but will only accept barter!"

Upon hearing this, many powerful figures frowned.

For them, gold coins can be earned again; in the Black Corner Region, there is no shortage of opportunities to make a fortune.

Bartering is possible...

To obtain this mummified corpse, we would have to bring out some of our most valuable secrets, but who would be willing to do that?

If it were confirmed that there was a magic core inside the mummified corpse, that would be fine. However, the Black Emperor Sect has kept it hidden for so many years, and now it is being auctioned off. Obviously, no trace of a magic core has been found. Under these circumstances, spending a huge amount of money to bid for this mummified corpse is nothing short of a gamble.

Considering the risks involved, many strong individuals began to have second thoughts.

However, this world will never lack gamblers!
After a few minutes of silence, a powerful figure dressed in black robes finally spoke up from the VIP section.

"A low-level Earth-rank combat skill."

For a long time after the man's voice fell silent, no one raised the price further.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to get involved, he saw the red-haired old man who was leading the Demon Flame Valley stand up.

"My Demon Flame Valley is willing to exchange it for a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, 'Flame Manipulation Technique.' This combat skill is only suitable for fire-attribute practitioners. Not only can the practitioner quickly control various flames, but they can also convert their battle qi into energy fire. However, this is not its most powerful feature. When multiple practitioners use it at the same time, these energy fires can temporarily condense into a substantial flame, with power approaching that of a different kind of fire!"

Flame Manipulation Technique?

Chen Xiao, who was at the table, shook his head slightly.

He remembered that in the original trajectory, many flames were said to be comparable to strange flames, but in the end there was still a gap.

The saying that when a different kind of fire emerges, all other fires submit is not an exaggeration.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to bid anymore?"

Seeing Chen Xiao's actions, Little Fairy Doctor looked at him with a puzzled expression. Chen Xiao nodded and smiled, "Give it to Demon Flame Valley and let them keep it for a while."

If other forces were to bid, Chen Xiao would have to consider whether to participate, since a seventh-tier peak magic core is indeed very valuable.

But Demon Flame Valley…

In order to complete the pre-payment follow-up, after obtaining the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, Chen Xiao will inevitably have to confront this force.

Therefore, having Demon Flame Valley photograph the dried corpse is a very convenient thing to do.

Demon Flame Valley is renowned throughout the Black Corner Region, and the price they offered was not low. After careful consideration, the powerful figures in the VIP seats decided to give up their plans to continue bidding.

“Elder Fangyan, I have long heard of the Flame Manipulation Technique of Demon Flame Valley, and I am well aware of its drawbacks. In terms of value alone, it is only a low-level Earth-rank combat skill to my Black Emperor Sect. However, since no one is bidding further, this demon beast corpse belongs to your Demon Flame Valley. I would also like to see what is so special about the renowned Flame Manipulation Technique.”

Mo Tianxing slowly stepped onto the auction stage, waved for the white-haired old man to step down, and then turned to Fang Yan and said.

"I certainly won't disappoint Sect Master Mo."

"Haha, I hope so."

Mo Tianxing waved his hand slightly, and Fang Yan stopped talking nonsense and quickly went on stage to hand over the work.

After the handover was completed, Fang Yan returned to his seat.

Mo Tianxing then took out a pair of purple-gold gloves, put them on, and laughed loudly: "As you all probably know, the highlight of this auction held by my Black Emperor Sect is this item, and I also know that many of you here are here for it."

"Then, I will personally preside over the auction of this Bodhi Incarnation Saliva!"

As soon as Mo Tianxing finished speaking, everyone saw five old men in black carrying a small box covered with yellow cloth, walking steadily onto the auction stage.

Once the box was placed, the five people quickly dispersed, forming a mysterious formation that completely surrounded the auction stage.

The situation was crystal clear: anyone who dared to forcibly seize it would have to get past the defensive line formed by these five Dou Huang elders first, and even if they managed to break through, they would still have to face Mo Tianxing, a Dou Zong powerhouse!
The Black Emperor Sect's impenetrable defenses were not an overreaction; the Bodhi Incarnation Saliva was truly priceless.

The reason why Bodhi Transformation Saliva can attract so many powerful individuals is ultimately because of the popular saying that whoever obtains Bodhi Transformation Saliva will be able to find the whereabouts of Bodhi Heart by following the clues.

Bodhicitta, the Bodhicitta, is a legendary treasure that can instantly make one a saint!
In the Black Corner Region, Dou Zong is already the pinnacle, and Dou Zun powerhouses only exist in legends.

As for the Battle Saint…

That's something countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But now, the appearance of this Bodhi incarnation saliva has given them a glimmer of hope.

This alone is enough to drive a group of powerful individuals crazy.

Mo Tianxing felt the intense gazes from the VIP seats, but he calmly circulated his battle qi, gripped the edge of the yellow cloth with his fingertips, and suddenly lifted it.

In an instant, the yellow cloth covering the box fluttered away like a butterfly, revealing a crystal box inside.

The box reflected dazzling lights, shimmering with a dreamlike halo, but no one paid attention to the blinding light. All eyes were fixed on the mysterious entity inside the box.

Beside Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body trembled slightly due to her emotional turmoil.

She had been searching for and inquiring about the many materials needed to condense the poison pill for several years, but to no avail. The Bodhi Transformation Saliva before her was the first one she had ever seen!
Noticing Little Fairy Doctor's tension, Chen Xiao gently placed his hand on the back of her hand, his gaze firm: "Don't worry, no one can take this away from you."

Originally, Chen Xiao had considered that if Mo Tianxing chose the items from the Old Man of Eagle Mountain during the barter, he would copy Xiao Yan's homework and try to obtain it.

But now, Chen Xiao has changed his mind.

If the old man of Eagle Mountain were to handle the matter, and the other party were pushed to the edge, the Bodhi incarnation would be at risk of being damaged.

Since that's the case, let's eliminate this potential threat completely!
What does he have to fear if it's fair competition?

On the stage.

Inside the crystal box, a hazy, ethereal light flowed like a thin veil, enveloping a fist-sized, emerald-green, gelatinous substance.

It is as light and graceful as a jellyfish in the deep sea, with ripples constantly spreading on its surface. Each wriggling movement brings up a fine vortex of fluorescence, as if it has been given a life of its own, lively and vibrant.

Many powerful individuals quietly released their soul perception to investigate, but as soon as they approached the crystal box, it was as if they had hit a solid barrier, and the invisible resistance instantly bounced their perception back.

Mo Tianxing's gaze was fixed on the surging emerald-green gelatinous substance inside the crystal box, his eyes gleaming with a greedy undercurrent.

The Black Emperor Sect truly spared no expense for this auction. They had preserved the Bodhi Transformation Saliva for many years, secretly studying it, but without any success.

Even so, I was still filled with reluctance when it was actually put up for auction.

Mo Tianxing took a deep breath, slowly raised his eyes and scanned the entire room, his words carrying immense weight: "Ladies and gentlemen, this item is the grand finale of this auction—the Bodhi Transformation Saliva."

In an instant, gasps and gasps filled the arena as countless burning, greedy eyes converged upon them. Even the usually composed Black List experts in the VIP seats could not hide the frenzied desire in their eyes.

Chen Xiao sat up slightly, while the old man from Eagle Mountain in the corner leaned forward like a hyena poised to pounce.

"Oh!"

The deafening roar made the air tremble!

Mo Tianxing's aura erupted like a volcano, his powerful pressure transforming into a tangible storm that swept across the entire area. His hawk-like gaze slowly swept over every corner, and the once bustling hall, as noisy as a marketplace, was instantly put on pause. The intense heat and noise were replaced by a bone-chilling cold, and in the silence where you could hear a pin drop, the pressure of a Dou Zong expert was like an invisible shackle, causing everyone to hold their breath and not dare to breathe.

Mo Tianxing exuded an aura as deep and unfathomable as he coldly surveyed the entire scene: "I hope everyone will abide by the rules. If anyone dares to break the rules, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Having said that, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "The auction for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva will now begin. It will still be a barter system, but this item is too precious, so the auction method needs to be changed. Those who are interested can come up on stage alone and tell me privately what they want to exchange. In the end, my Black Emperor Sect will select the one with the most valuable treasure and complete the transaction."

The Bodhi Transformation Saliva is too precious; only the powerful figures in the VIP seats have the ability to exchange it. This auction method excludes almost 99% of the people in the room.

Many onlookers were dissatisfied, but dared not say anything. After all, this was the Black Corner Region, and without strength, there was no respect.

After a short while, the group of powerful figures gradually concealed their auras.

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere, Mo Tianxing smiled slightly. His hand seal suddenly moved, and the halo around the auction platform suddenly became denser. As the color became denser, the situation inside the platform became increasingly blurry. Eventually, it became impossible to see anything inside.

Just then, Mo Tianxing's booming laughter pierced through the light screen and echoed throughout the venue.

"Everyone, with this level of protection, you should feel reassured, right? Now, those who are interested, please come up on stage in order, one person at a time. With so many eyes watching, surely no one will suspect that my Black Emperor Sect is up to no good, right?"

Before Mo Tianxing's words had even faded, the rosewood chairs in the VIP area began to creak softly.

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a dark-patterned brocade robe suddenly stand up, his face filled with barely suppressed urgency. His figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye into the halo on the stage, leaving only faint fluctuations of battle aura echoing around him.

“Black Skull Tomb…” Zi Yan muttered, recognizing the person’s origin.

"Don't worry about it. He won't get it, and even if he does, he won't be able to keep it. Get ready, the tough battle is about to begin."

The principle of "possessing a treasure is a crime" is well known. The allure of the Bodhi Transformation Saliva is too great; anyone who obtains it will inevitably be coveted.

The old man of Eagle Mountain was like this, and so was Chen Xiao.

Now that he has changed his mind and wants to obtain the Bodhi Transformation Saliva in an absolutely safe way, he must be prepared to be surrounded and killed by the pack of hungry wolves of the Black Corner Region.

Zi Yan stopped laughing and started to seriously adjust her state of mind.

As a woman of great intelligence, she could foresee that today's battle would be the greatest challenge she and Chen Xiao had ever faced.

The fighting spirit within Little Fairy Doctor's body circulated slightly, and her gentle temperament gradually faded, transforming her into the appearance Chen Xiao had seen when he met her in the Cloud Empire.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, after about two or three minutes, the middle-aged man finally emerged from the stage's glow. He shook his head slightly with a wry smile and walked back to the VIP seats with undisguised disappointment on his face.

Clearly, the treasures he had carefully prepared failed to meet Mo Tianxing's approval.

laugh!
Upon seeing the middle-aged man emerge, Fan Lao, the Blood Sect Master, transformed into a streak of blood light and flew onto the stage.

However, they still returned disappointed.

Time passed by, and after about half an hour, almost all the powerful figures in the VIP seats had taken the stage, including the old man from Eagle Mountain.

Seeing that no one else was going up on stage, Chen Xiao stood up from his seat.

"Be careful."

Little Fairy Doctor spoke with concern, but because she knew he had a powerful puppet on his body, she wasn't too worried.

Under such intense scrutiny, the Black Emperor Sect was unlikely to do anything rash.

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded in response. A flash of lightning appeared beneath his feet, and he dashed into the halo of light on the stage.

The blinding light made Chen Xiao squint, but as soon as his vision returned, he opened his eyes wide in alarm.

On the auction stage, Mo Tianxing was smiling as he looked himself up and down, while behind him stood an old man with a ruddy complexion and eagle-like eyes.

Mo Tianxing spoke calmly, with a hint of probing: "Mr. Cao Hui, what treasures have you prepared to exchange for this Bodhi Transformation Saliva?"

His tone was light and casual, as if he were chatting, without any sharpness, even though he had some doubts about Chen Xiao's identity.

Without saying much, Chen Xiao pondered for a moment under Mo Tianxing's slightly fiery gaze, then flicked his finger, and three jade bottles, as white as mutton fat jade, appeared in his hand.

“One Breakthrough Pill, one Imperial Pill, and one Battle Spirit Pill! As for their effects, I won’t go into details,” Chen Xiao said hoarsely.

He knew that the price offered by the old man of Eagle Mountain was a seventh-grade Life-Returning Pill.

As the name suggests, this is a life-saving pill. As long as you have a breath left, it can pull you back from the brink of death.

In the original timeline, Xiao Yan intended to exchange a Breakthrough Pill for a Life-Saving Pill. Although the Black Emperor Sect was very tempted, after some deliberation, they chose the Life-Returning Pill, which would give Mo Tianxing an extra life.

After all, even if Mo Ya were nurtured with the Breaking Sect Pill, it would take a very long time, while Mo Tianxing is a genuine Dou Zong powerhouse, making his safety more secure and also making the Black Emperor Sect's position more stable.

Knowing this information, Chen Xiao, seeking absolute safety, increased the stakes again on top of the Breakthrough Pill.

Now that the Cao family is providing logistical support, Chen Xiao no longer needs to worry about pills. Exchanging this small price for the Bodhi Transformation Saliva for Little Fairy Doctor is not something that would make him feel bad.

Moreover, he understood that the Black Emperor Sect would not miss the opportunity to kick someone when they were down, and Mo Tianxing would definitely not be absent from today's fierce battle.

Therefore, there is still plenty of opportunity to get the pills back!

"Po Zong Dan?"

Upon hearing the name, both Mo Tianxing and the red-faced old man behind him trembled, and then an undisguised joy appeared in their eyes.

As for the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Fighting Spirit Pill, they chose to ignore them for the time being.

Under Mo Tianxing's gaze, the red-faced old man stepped forward, took the jade bottle, and carefully examined it before nodding solemnly after a long while.

"It is indeed a Breakthrough Pill, of top quality. No one in the Black Corner Region should be able to refine a Breakthrough Pill of this quality, not even Han Feng from before."

These words also imply to Mo Tianxing that Chen Xiao's identity might not actually be that of the Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion.

Mo Tianxing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three jade bottles that had returned to Chen Xiao's hands.

If it were just a Breakthrough Pill, he might have to compare it with the Rejuvenation Pill that Elder Eagle Mountain had offered, and find it difficult to choose.

With an extra Imperial Extreme Pill and a Fighting Spirit Pill, Mo Tianxing made a decision instantly.

"Please return to your seat first. If no one offers something of higher value, I will choose to trade with you!"

Mo Tianxing got up to see him off, and didn't forget to reassure Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, calmly stepped out of the circle of light, and gave Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, who were watching closely, an affirming look.

Chen Xiao was the last to go on stage, and after he came out, no one else went on stage for four or five minutes.

As everyone watched with bated breath, the surging light on the auction stage gradually dissipated like the receding tide, slowly revealing the hidden scene to the public.

Mo Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping across the entire room with piercing intensity, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. The Black Emperor Sect has selected the most suitable trading partner from among many treasures."

As the last word fell, the clamor in the auction hall abruptly ceased, like a snapped string on a musical instrument.

Everyone's gaze became tangible, fixed on Mo Tianxing, and even the air seemed to freeze.

Mo Tianxing chuckled, a mysterious smile on his face: "After several rounds of selection, the winner is..."

He paused deliberately, and in that instant when everyone's hearts were racing, his fingertips shot out like a sharp sword, precisely pointing in the direction of Chen Xiao and the other two in the VIP seats, instantly causing the entire venue to erupt in cheers.

"Mr. Cao Hui!"

As soon as Mo Tianxing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the auction hall froze.

In the VIP section, many people slowly curled their lips into a sinister smile.

Even the old man from Eagle Mountain looked towards the three of them with a cold expression.

As dozens of chilling killing intents enveloped his body like a spider web, Chen Xiao calmly straightened his back, his clothes fluttering as his eyes flashed with an equally sharp, cold light.

The gazes from powerful figures from all sides felt like tangible shackles, so heavy they made it hard to breathe. Yet, the blood in their chests burned ever hotter under the pressure, each heartbeat carrying an impending explosion of heat, as if about to break free of the constraints and unleash a raging storm in this turbulent situation!
Stepping boldly onto the auction stage, Chen Xiao handed over the Bodhi Transformation Saliva in front of countless people, storing it in his storage ring. He then grinned as he met the pairs of greedy, burning eyes of the crowd.

"Hehehe, if there is a desperate situation, one must go through ten lifetimes of life and death."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we'll meet again tonight!"

(End of this chapter)
