The young master of the Li Huo Sect's intervention instantly revitalized the previously lukewarm Jingjie.

Prices began to rise steadily.

"Twenty million!" Han Miaoke's voice rang out again, now devoid of its initial charm and tinged with a sense of solemnity.

There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by a gasp.

This price completely dashed the hopes of smaller forces. Someone couldn't help but mutter, "Twenty million for a set, that's over two million per pill on average, many times more expensive than the Cleansing Elixir."

Someone nearby scoffed, "Is that how you calculate it? The chance of getting the Cleansing Elixir is only 20%, and a bottle costs 500,000."

Which of these wealthy family scions doesn't start with at least three bottles? Even throwing in 1.5 million doesn't guarantee success. Now, two million buys a 100% guarantee—what's so expensive about that?

The man scratched his head, paused for a moment, and then nodded: "That makes sense."

"Twenty-one million." Li Qingfeng paused for a moment, then raised his paddle again.

Fu Ming followed closely: "Twenty-three million."

Zhang Wenyuan gritted his teeth: "Twenty-five million, I don't want any more!"

Fu Ming glanced at him, then calmly raised his paddle: "Thirty million."

The room fell completely silent.

Zhang Wenyuan opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more. He glared at Fu Ming and sat down sullenly.

After consulting with the family head, Li Qingfeng stopped. There were still eighty-nine pills left, and nine more chances. He would just have to be patient a little longer.

Thirty million was already the highest buy-it-now price in the Chaotic Domain in the past five years. Compared to that, the Cleansing Elixir had completely become a unit of measurement.

Lianyi could no longer hide her smile as she slowly counted off.

"Thirty million for the first time."

I waited for two breaths.

"Thirty million, the second time."

Seeing that no one else was bidding, she finally brought down the gavel: "Thirty million, third time, sold."

The moment the first set of spirit crystals hit the ground, Fu Ming finally smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the surroundings.

Ten spirit crystals were quickly delivered to his private room.

There was another young man in the private room. As soon as he appeared, everyone immediately recognized him as Fu Ming's younger brother, Fu Hao, who was also a scion of a powerful family with only S-level talent.

As soon as he got his hands on the spirit crystal, he couldn't resist taking one and swallowing it directly.

Everyone in the audience stared in his direction, and even Lianyi temporarily stopped the auction to wait for the result.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Fu Hao's aura suddenly erupted, and a unique pressure belonging to an SS-level talent spread throughout the area.

Someone in the audience stood up and exclaimed, "Holy crap, he really improved!"

Although Fang Yao had corroborated his testimony before, seeing is believing. Now, witnessing a spirit crystal forcefully elevate an S-level talent to SS-level, the impact was something that no testimony could replace.

Li Qingfeng has already sent another message back to his family, and the people from the other eight major forces are doing the same thing.

In a corner of the hall below the stage, a man and a woman dressed in black were whispering to each other.

"How's it going? Have you identified the target?" the man asked softly.

The woman shook her head: "No, but I can confirm it, the target is definitely in this venue."

He then added, "However, I reported this Life Crystal to the host, and the host told us that we must get a set."

The man frowned: "Why not take them all down? We're not afraid of these people from the Chaotic Domain."

The woman sighed and said, "I'm not afraid, but the host doesn't want to attract attention. In our line of work, keeping a low profile is the key. Besides, we probably only have enough money to buy one set."

The man nodded helplessly: "Alright, let's see when the time is right and take down one group."

At this moment, Fu Ming put his arm around Fu Hao's shoulder and directly connected to his father's communication jade talisman: "Father, I've succeeded. My talent has reached SS level."

A hearty laugh came from the other end: "Good! Very good!"

He then added, "Keep filming, the money's plentiful!"

"Yes!" Fu Ming responded loudly, then turned to Lianyi, "Second Miss, please continue!"

Li Qingfeng and the others echoed, "That's right, Second Miss, please continue."

Lianyi smiled slightly and nodded: "The second group, Life Spirit Crystals, starting bid one million."

"Thirty million." Before Lianyi could finish speaking, Fu Ming had already raised his paddle and announced the price.

There was a moment of silence in the room, then someone muttered a curse under their breath: "No transition at all, just jumping straight to thirty million. This is just too ugly."

"Thirty-five million." Zhang Wenyuan's face was already flushed red as he gritted his teeth and raised the paddle.

"Forty million." Li Qingfeng followed.

"Fifty million." Fu Ming raised his paddle again, his tone calm and without hesitation.

Finally, someone couldn't sit still any longer. Hu Tianhai, the Left Protector of the Myriad Laws Sect, suddenly erupted, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "Young Sect Master Fu, don't be so ungrateful!"

Many people in the audience turned their heads, and some whispered among themselves, "Is the Wanfa Sect getting anxious?"

Some people analyzed: "They are closest to the Li Huo Sect, have always been at odds with each other, and are the poorest of the ten major forces."

If the Li Huo Sect continues to absorb more talent, and they end up with even more disciples with SS-level talent, the future of both sects will be very uncertain...

Han Miaoke also stood up, her voice neither hurried nor slow, but her tone clearly carried a hint of displeasure.

"Young Master Fu, we understand that your Li Huo Sect is now very wealthy. But this way of bidding has blocked the path for other sects."

Zhang Wenyuan chimed in, "That's right! You can't eat alone."

He also wanted to kick Fu Ming out, otherwise he might not get anything this time.

The other companies echoed this sentiment.

Fu Ming frowned, said nothing, and retreated to a corner to pick up the communication jade talisman.

There was a long silence on the other side this time. Fu Ming didn't urge them and waited quietly. After a long while, a deep voice came: "Tell them to take this group. We won't compete for the rest."

Fu Ming put away the jade talisman, walked back to the window, and conveyed his message to everyone.

The people in the room exchanged glances, discussed briefly, and then took their seats without stopping them further.

Lianyi glanced at them, and waited until the room quieted down before slowly raising the gavel: "Fifty million once, fifty million twice... fifty million three times, sold."

Lin Chen, sitting in the private room, was a little depressed. Without Fu Ming, this tycoon, he would earn a lot less money later on.

However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. It would be more useful to distribute all the spirit crystals among different sects than to concentrate them all in one sect.

Soon the third group started bidding again, and as expected without Fu Ming's interference, the third group only reached 40 million.

The fourth to eighth groups also saw transactions of around 40 million.

The ninth group, perhaps due to fewer and fewer opportunities, once again reached 45 million.

The tenth set was missing one piece, but it still sold for 45 million. Surprisingly, the Wanfa Sect didn't get any, and instead, two unfamiliar men in black won the bid.

In the end, all ninety-nine Life Crystals were auctioned off for a staggering price of 410 million.
