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

Chapter 74 Eighth-Grade Pills

After a round of bidding, the jade tablet was finally sold to an old man for the price of five seventh-grade pills plus a set of earth-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills.

"Next up is the second-to-last item in this auction. Please bring it up!"

What will be the penultimate item? The powerful figures who have come to the Tianyuan Auction House today are extremely curious.

Soon a cart appeared in the center of the auction hall, and in the center of the cart lay the box of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade.

The cold jade box exuded an astonishing chill, and those with some knowledge in the room had already roughly guessed what kind of item was being auctioned.

Elixir!

As Yu Ruyan walked to the cart and opened the Cold Jade Box, an amazing medicinal fragrance wafted out, invigorating everyone present.

Then, the pills in the jade box were enveloped in a faint three-colored spiritual mist.

A faint, spiritual mist swirled around the pill, and it vaguely coalesced into the shape of a cat.

"An eighth-grade pill!" Xiao Li stood up immediately. There was a world of difference between seventh-grade and eighth-grade pills. Eighth-grade pills possessed their own spirituality, and only such pills were called living pills or spiritual pills.

An eighth-grade pill possesses spirituality and can condense into a shape on its own; the eighth-grade pill in front of us condensed into the image of a cat.

The appearance of the eighth-grade pill caused an uproar among those present.

"Please be quiet, everyone. As you've probably guessed, this item is an eighth-grade pill! And it's an eighth-grade pill that has been subjected to three-colored pill lightning!"

As for this pill, you Venerables should already know it; it's called the Purple-Azure Venerable Supreme Pill! A Dou Zun powerhouse can increase their cultivation by one star after consuming it!

All of you venerable ones should understand that it takes countless years of arduous cultivation to reach the first star level, but this pill can allow you to break through to the first star level directly.

Moreover, this is an eighth-grade pill. It is said that taking an eighth-grade pill has other benefits. Unfortunately, my cultivation is still too shallow to have taken it before, which is a real pity.

This elixir came from an elder of the Pill Tower in the Central Region; anything produced by the Pill Tower is guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

Alright everyone, this Grade 8 Tricolor Purple-Azure Supreme Pill has no starting price; the highest bidder wins!

No sooner had Yu Ruyan finished speaking than the fierce competition began in an instant.

"I'll offer a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and its accompanying combat skills!"

"I'll offer a Rank 7 pill and a high-level Earth-rank combat skill!"

"I'll offer a high-level water-attribute Earth-rank cultivation technique and its accompanying combat skills!"

"Three grade-seven pills plus a high-level earth-rank wood-attribute cultivation technique!"

That's insane! They've brought out a lot of good stuff to bid on this Rank 8 pill.

Xiao Li was also paying attention to these competing voices. It was obvious that those who wanted the Purple-Azure Supreme Pill were all Dou Zun experts; Dou Zong were not qualified to compete for it.

High-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques, unheard of in the Northwest Continent, appeared multiple times at this auction.

"As expected, the Central Plains is much richer, with so many high-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques. The Northwest Continent is truly barren," Xiao Li remarked.

Wang Kuangtianchi: "Don't underestimate Dou Zun powerhouses. Almost all Dou Zun powerhouses cultivate high-level Earth-rank techniques, with very few cultivating mid-level Earth-rank techniques due to their own reasons."

High-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques are the foundation for every Dou Zun powerhouse. So once you reach the Dou Zun level, unless you have a Heaven-rank technique or a secret method, you can forget about fighting beyond your level.

The difference between a Dou Zun one-star and a Dou Zong three-star is even greater. Let me give you an example: the Four Directions Pavilion and the Three Valleys in the Central Continent.

The pavilion masters of the Four Directions Pavilion are generally at the level of two to three stars, while the valley masters of the Three Valleys are at the level of four stars. A four-star Dou Zun can fight two two-star Dou Zun and even gain the upper hand!

This is why San Gu has always been clearly superior to Si Fang Ge. Of course, each of San Gu has its own strengths, which you may find out in the future.

Anyway, at the Dou Zun level, besides the difference in Dou Qi, there's also the difference in spatial comprehension. For example, even if all the Dou Zun from the Three Valleys and Four Directions Pavilion attacked me together, they wouldn't be a match for me.

After listening to Mang Tianchi's explanation, Xiao Li understood one thing: high-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques, which are rarely seen by ordinary Dou Huang or Dou Zong, are not difficult to obtain at the Dou Zun level.

At the Dou Zun level, everyone pursues the Heavenly Rank or things related to "Saint".

Ultimately, this Grade 8 elixir, the Purple-Green Supreme Pill, was auctioned off to a Venerable One at an extremely high price.

Yu Ruyan's face was rosy at this moment. If she could successfully host the Heavenly Auction, her family would provide her with a lot of resources, enough to help her advance further!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the last one. This item is very unique and is related to a legendary Dou Sheng powerhouse!"

Please welcome the last item up for auction!

As Yu Ruyan finished speaking, a maid slowly pushed a cart into the center of the auction hall. On the cart was a silver tray with an antique silver jade piece on it.

"Everyone, this is a Demon Thunder Jade Piece, which is related to a saint! The owner of this item is named Demon Thunder Saint, who was an extremely powerful expert in the Central Continent hundreds of years ago."

The Demon Thunder Saint perished for unknown reasons. My family's ancestor, Venerable Tianyuan, happened to encounter the Demon Thunder Saint's remains, but these remains were quite unusual.

Only those who possess this jade tablet can enter; this is a tremendous opportunity! If one could obtain the inheritance of the Demon Thunder Saint...

He will surely become a renowned saint in the Central Plains in the future.

No starting price, highest bidder wins!

After Yu Ruyan explained the origin of the jade piece, everyone present perked up.

Even Mang Tianchi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them and stared at the silver jade piece.

"The Thunder Saint, huh? Interesting. There might be something inside that would tempt even this old man," Mang Tianchi murmured.

Xiao Li: "Then Dean, why don't you bid? I don't think anyone here is richer than you."

"Hmm! Hmm?... " Mang Tianchi was about to start quoting when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed something.

"What's wrong with the dean?" Xiao Li asked.

"Boy, lend me a few Rank 0 pills first, I'll pay you back later," Kuang Tianchi said without batting an eye.

"Huh?" Xiao Li stared in disbelief. "Dean, you, a Dou Zun expert, are asking me, a seventh-grade alchemist, for money? Are you kidding me?!"

Mang Tianchi blushed: "I left my storage ring at the academy. The storage rings I carry now contain valuable items and things that cannot be traded."

Let me put it this way, the cheapest thing I have right now is an eighth-grade pill that has been tempered by six-colored pill lightning. Trading an eighth-grade six-colored pill for this would be a bit of a loss.

Xiao Li: —

"Dean, don't you have any cultivation techniques with you?" Xiao Li asked.

"No. What I carry with me are either things suitable for cultivation or Heaven-rank combat techniques. As I said, the cheapest one is this Rank 8 Six-Colored Pill," Mang Tianchi said, shaking his head.

"I'll offer one grade eight, three-colored pill!"

An aged voice drew the attention of Xiao Li and Mang Tianchi.

Xiao Li crossed his arms and said, "Dean, look, it's already at the eighth grade, three-color level. You can't keep your six-color pill."
