Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Xiao Li sat on the sofa, listening to the continuous bidding below, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. Pills were really extremely profitable.

It's true that alchemists are very wealthy, but their expenses are also enormous. For example, many medicinal herbs are very precious and extremely expensive, so alchemists never feel they have too much money.

Bidding calls echoed throughout the auction hall. In just ten minutes, the price of a two-patterned Azure Spirit Pill rose from 350,000 to around 500,000.

Xiao Li took out six two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills, which would probably cost three million gold coins in total. There would also be Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills later, which would probably be even more expensive.

In the end, the two level-two Qingling Pills on the stage were sold for 1.1 million gold coins each, and the other for 550,000 gold coins.

After the first batch of two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills was auctioned off, another batch of two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills arrived.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be in a hurry. This time, there are a full six Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills, and the starting price is still 330,000!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

Elixirs are extremely important on the Dou Qi Continent, which is why alchemists are so highly respected. Virtually every power needs to curry favor with alchemists.

The Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill boosted the auction's popularity. After the Two-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill was auctioned off, it was time for the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill!

"Hehe, the two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills you just had were just appetizers. You should all recognize the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, right? It's a peak fourth-grade pill that can increase the strength of a Great Dou Master by one star without much resistance. You can take two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills consecutively!"

In other words, if a Grand Dou Master can collect two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills, they can steadily increase their strength by two stars. Alright, the starting bid is 500,000!

Another wave of frenzied bidding ensued. The Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill directly attracted many emerging forces in the Black Corner Region to join the bidding. The prospect of increasing one's cultivation level by two stars as a Great Dou Master was simply too tempting.

Great Dou Masters are the backbone of these forces, the core of their strength. Helping these core members quickly advance from Great Dou Master to Dou Ling is a sure-fire way to make money.

The three Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills were eventually sold for over three million, which is equivalent to one million gold coins for each pill – truly astonishing.

Next, a medicinal herb, or more precisely, a fruit, appears, called the Azure Nether Fruit. The Azure Nether Fruit is one of the main ingredients for refining the sixth-grade elixir, the Azure Nether Longevity Pill.

The Azure Longevity Pill can extend one's lifespan by nearly ten years, and a person can only take one in their lifetime, making it extremely expensive.

For example, if Xiao Ting didn't have the support of pills, he could only sit quietly and die, and he would probably barely reach the level of a nine-star Dou Wang by the time he died. But if he had the Azure Longevity Pill, he would have enough time to break through to the Dou Huang level.

The nearly ten years of lifespan that Qingming Shoudan has provided may be exchanged for decades or even hundreds of years of lifespan.

Xiao Li bought the Azure Nether Fruit for three million. In the future, he can refine the Azure Nether Longevity Pill and give it to his teacher, grandfather, or other family members.

After the appearance of the Azure Fruit, the auction seemed to gradually come to an end, because in the following time, one after another, treasures that could truly be called rare items began to appear.

The variety of martial arts techniques, combat skills, and even prescriptions was dazzling, and the hall was filled with excited shouts of bidding.

On one occasion, a faction in the back row and the VIP seats on the second floor argued fiercely over a set of high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and their accompanying combat skills.

In the end, one of them actually drew his knife and was about to attack.

However, just as the man was about to make his move, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out in the air above the auction house, and a pitch-black leaf swept straight across the man's face.

A bloody gash appeared on the man's cheek, and blood gushed out after half a breath, shocking everyone present! Ye Xuan had made his move; the black leaf moved with incredible speed, even emitting a piercing sound.

Ye Xuan's actions brought those irrational forces to their senses. To make a move on someone else's turf is like provoking a tyrant.

Ye Xuan is a powerhouse on the Black List. His ranking is the result of hard-fought battles. Do you really think he has no temper?

As the auction drew to a close, a heavyweight item was finally revealed: a scroll of fighting techniques.

"Heaven-Shattering Meteor Fist, an offensive combat technique, low-level Earth Rank!"

Ye Xuan's voice instantly silenced the noisy auction. Countless crimson eyes turned sharply to the dark silver scroll on the crystal platform, and rapid breathing filled the air like bellows.

"I already took the Heavenly Fierce Slash, and he still has it?" Xiao Li said speechlessly, this is really outrageous.

"Hehe, Li'er, the Ye family is a behemoth. At its peak, the family had a Dou Zun expert. Back then, the Ye family was one of the five great families of the Pill Tower, and its strength and influence were extraordinary."

Oh! I almost forgot, I haven't introduced the powers in Zhongzhou to you yet. From the general public's perspective, the powers in Zhongzhou can be simply called: one palace, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions.

That tower is the Pill Tower, the sacred ground for alchemists throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. As far as I know, the Pill Tower truly has Dou Sheng masters.

While the master and disciple remained relatively quiet on their side, the auction hall outside was in complete chaos.

"A Rank Earth-level combat skill, it's mine!" A Battle King's eyes were bloodshot, revealing his greed. He charged forward, wielding a heavy hammer.

"court death!"

Ye Xuan stomped his foot, and countless black vines grew out, piercing through the body of the Dou Wang and tearing his flesh apart. The once magnificent auction house instantly became bloodstained.

The death of a Dou Wang did not deter the greedy people. Four or five people stepped forward, all of whom possessed Dou Qi wings and were all powerful individuals above the Dou Wang level.

"Ye Xuan! Hand over your Earth-rank battle technique, and I might spare your Xuan Ye Sect!"

The leader unleashed his battle aura, revealing himself to be a Dou Huang powerhouse! It was not unreasonable for a Dou Huang powerhouse to lead several Dou Wangs to forcibly seize a Di-rank Dou Technique.

"A mere two-star Dou Huang dares to act arrogantly in my presence?" Ye Xuan roared, as black vines continued to spread around his body.

"Hehe, Ye Xuan, you are indeed very strong, but no matter how strong you are, how can you stop so many of us?" The leader of the Dou Huangs laughed loudly.

"Hmph, I knew you lawless scoundrels would act like this. Did you think I wasn't prepared? Third Elder, it's up to you now!" Ye Xuan stepped back a few paces, clearing the area for him.

boom--

An orange-yellow flame transformed into a giant hand that appeared in the center of the arena, directly grabbing the leading Dou Huang.

"Peak of the Battle Emperor realm!"

The VIP area on the second floor, in the VIP room where the Heavenly Serpent Mansion is located.

"Heh, you're such a naive country bumpkin. Do you think you can act recklessly just because you've become a Dou Huang? Don't you know perfectly well what the Xuan Ye Sect relies on to run such a large auction house in the Black Corner Region?"

A beautiful woman was reclining on the sofa. She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but her aura was extremely restrained yet terrifying. She was also a Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Elder Huang, what brings us to the Xuan Ye Auction House this time?" Behind the sofa stood a woman, whose aura revealed her to be that of a Dou Wang expert!

"Hehe, Green Barbarian, don't be in such a hurry. Of course, we're here to see some good stuff. It's said that this auction will have seventh-grade pills and mid-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques. Mid-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques, huh?"

Even a powerful sect like the Heavenly Serpent Palace doesn't have many mid-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques, so naturally, we'd love to have as many as we can.

Elder Huang of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, who was lying on the sofa, said with a smile.
