Covering the Sky: I, a mortal, ascended to the throne step by step.

Chapter 89 The Forbidden Artifact of a Powerful Being: Heavenly Dragon Breaks Through the City

On the auction stage, a jade tripod floated.

The lid of the cauldron is opened.

"boom!"

A boundless surge of life force soars to the heavens.

It transformed into a lifelike phantom of a divine phoenix, hovering above the auction hall.

The intense heat spread, causing ripples to spread across the protective array patterns surrounding the main hall.

The hall was completely silent.

"Ancient Phoenix Blood, also known as Primordial Divine Phoenix Blood, a total of five drops."

The auctioneer's voice was high-pitched, suppressing his excitement: "This blood contains the essence of the ancient phoenix clan. It can cleanse the marrow and bones, prolong life, and can also be used as a top-grade divine material for refining precious treasures."

He looked around and struck the mallet heavily.

"Lowest price: 500,000 jin of pure raw material!"

The silence lasted only a moment.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Six hundred and thirty thousand!"

Major forces made frantic bids.

Ancient Phoenix Blood has many wonderful uses.

For those old monsters whose lifespans are nearing their end, this thing is their life.

Prices have skyrocketed.

In the blink of an eye, it broke through the 650,000 mark.

Inside the top-tier private room.

Li Xian lightly tapped the table with his fingers.

He remained calm as he watched the fierce bidding below.

Yao Yuekong did something unethical.

A few days ago.

He secretly asked Yao Yuekong to find the Phoenix Blood, and Yao Yuekong readily agreed.

Turning around, these five drops of phoenix blood became one of the final items auctioned at the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace.

It is clear.

Yao Yue Kong Xiang took advantage of the auction.

Drive up the price, then make Li Xian bleed money.

The businessman was calculating.

Unfortunately, the wrong target was identified.

Li Xian beckoned and summoned the maidservant who was standing in the private room.

"Go backstage and find your young master," Li Xian said calmly. "Tell him I have a piece of Heavenly Wolf Divine Source. Ask him if he'll exchange it for these five drops of Phoenix Blood."

Upon hearing this, the maid bowed and withdrew.

Yunxi sat opposite her, her gaze falling upon her.

"The Heavenly Sirius Divine Source?" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi asked. "You cut it from the stone workshop?"

"Hmm." Li Xian picked up his teacup. "Yao Yuekong's true form is of the Silver Wolf lineage. Half of his origin was extracted while he was still in his mother's womb, leaving him with a congenital deficiency. The Heavenly Wolf Divine Source is a priceless treasure for him to complete his Dao foundation."

Yunxi remained silent.

Li Xian's move.

He directly grabbed Yao Yuekong's vital point.

at this time.

Backstage area on the first floor.

Yao Yuekong watched the numbers constantly flashing on the screen, gently waving her folding fan with a warm smile.

The maidservant hurried closer and whispered in her ear.

"Smack."

The folding fan snapped shut.

Yao Yuekong's gentle expression froze.

He turned to stare at the maid: "What did you say? The Heavenly Wolf Divine Source?"

"That's what that young master Li said." The maid lowered her head, looking terrified, afraid of being eaten.

Yao Yuekong took a deep breath, her expression shifting.

Divine Source!

Change to Phoenix Blood!

The market price of Tianlang Shenyuan is capped at 500,000 jin.

But in Yao Yuekong's eyes, let alone 500,000, he would take even 1 million.

This is his only hope to nurture his original essence, restore his Heavenly Demon Body, and break through to a higher realm.

I originally intended to put the Phoenix Blood at an auction and have Li Xian bid for it.

Now, things have taken a turn for the worse; Li Xian has offered a bargaining chip he can't refuse.

"Seven hundred thousand catties of ore!"

External quotes are still rising.

It has reached an alarming level.

Yao Yuekong felt her heart bleeding.

"Please transmit your voice to the auctioneer," the young master of the Heavenly Demon Palace gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words, "750,000 jin of Origin Essence, Baoque will bid for it himself!"

They lifted a stone only to drop it on their own foot.

Nothing more than that.

The auctioneer brought down the gavel: "750,000 jin of Yuan, sold!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

No one thought of it.

The Heavenly Demon Palace itself intervened and intercepted the prize.

After half a cup of tea, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Yao Yuekong entered with a jade cauldron in hand, her smile utterly bitter.

"Brother Li, your move to cut off the enemy's supply lines is brilliant."

He placed the jade tripod on the table.

Li Xian casually tossed out a jade box.

The demon moon caught it, opening a narrow crack.

The rich silver light transformed into the shadow of the howling wolf, and pure primordial energy rushed towards us.

"Bang."

Yao Yuekong closed the lid and carefully put it away.

"Even if we are evenly matched."

Li Xian scanned it with his divine sense.

He took the jade tripod into the sea of ​​suffering.

Auction continues—

A broken piece of food was brought to the table by Wang Bing, with a starting price of 100,000 jin of raw materials.

It was eventually taken down by a powerful rogue cultivator with 680,000 jin of source energy.

The second to last item.

"The Nine Heavens White Jade Disc!"

This jade disc, though less than half a square meter, still ignited the entire audience.

"500,000 jin of raw materials."

A gruff voice drowned out all the offers.

The third largest bandit in the northern region, no one dared to compete with him, and the deal was sold at a discounted price.

Finally, the highlight was the collection of several ancient insect sources and one ancient insect god source king, auctioned by Yaochi.

"This item can be used to refine a life-extending elixir, increasing lifespan by over four hundred years!"

The entire audience went absolutely wild.

The Five Elements Palace, the Illusion Palace, the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Central Plains Great Sect all entered the fray.

Ultimately, the price was set at 1.18 million jin.

sky-high price.

The auction has ended.

Outside the Heavenly Demon Palace, night is approaching.

-

The three princes of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Yiming, Jiang Yifei of the Jiang family, and Yao Yuekong arrived together.

"Brother Li, I have offended you greatly today. I will host a banquet at the Illusionary Food Palace to apologize."

Yao Yue bowed respectfully, her attitude sincere.

Xia Yiming laughed heartily: "Brother Li's stone-cutting skills are divine. We'll take advantage of Brother Yao's occasion and have a few drinks."

Li Xian did not refuse.

Getting to know the heirs of several powerful factions will make your path easier.

Yunxi disliked social engagements and went straight back to her residence in Yaochi.

The group headed to the Illusionary Food Palace.

The holy city is brightly lit at night.

On the long street, cultivators came and went in droves.

As I walked along a main road, two women, each with their own unique features, approached me.

The woman on the left is dressed in white, her black hair flowing like a waterfall. Her beauty is unparalleled, and her ethereal temperament exudes an indescribable allure, as if she were a celestial being descended to earth.

An Miaoyi, successor of Miaoyu Nunnery.

The woman on the right, wearing a long emerald green dress, with a captivating figure, is none other than Ji Biyue.

"Greetings, brothers."

An Miaoyi bowed gracefully.

His gaze lingered on Li Xian for a moment longer.

She was naturally adept at social maneuvering, and she paid close attention to this protector she had chosen.

Jiang Yifei nodded slightly.

Xia Yiming politely returned the greeting.

Ji Biyue walked past the crowd and went straight to Li Xian.

She covered her mouth and giggled, but her shimmering eyes held a sharp edge.

"Brother Li was quite the big shot at the auction today," Ji Biyue said, her breath sweet as orchids. "However, the people from the Yao Guang Holy Land are not so easy to deal with."

Li Xian looked at her, his expression unchanged.

Ji Biyue took a half step closer and lowered her voice.

"Just a friendly reminder. The ten most powerful experts from the reclusive Yao Guang lineage have already set off for the Holy City." Her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude. "They don't care about face; they just want your life."

Ji Jia Da Yue Liang stared into Li Xian's eyes, trying to see panic in them.

"If you beg me, the Ji family might be able to save your life."

"Thank you for your concern." Li Xian said calmly, "I'll bury as many as come."

Ji Biyue's smile froze.

She had hoped to see Li Xian lose her composure, but instead she saw only an unfathomable calm.

That calmness was like looking at a group of dead people.

"Arrogant."

Ji Biyue snorted coldly.

He turned and left together with An Miaoyi.

At the corner, An Miaoyi turned back and glanced at Li Xian subtly, secretly making a decision in her heart.

Fantasy Food Palace.

Top floor elegant room.

A plate of delicacies.

The aroma of the spirit wine wafts through the air.

Jiang Yifei speaks with gentle and refined manners.

The moon is enchanting and exquisite.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

The two tactfully went to the window to enjoy some tea.

Xia Yiming set up a soundproof array, his expression turning solemn.

He took a long, rectangular sandalwood box from the sea of ​​suffering and placed it on the table.

"Brother Li, the karma of the Divine Silkworm is settled today."

Xia Yiming pressed down on the wooden box.

With a flick of Li Xian's fingertip, the box lid popped open.

A section of dark gold pointed cone lay quietly inside.

It is about a foot long and its surface is covered with dragon-shaped patterns.

There was no earth-shattering pressure, only a chilling, deathly silence.

"Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Cone." Xia Yiming's voice was deep. "Three hundred years ago, one of my Great Xia's royal uncles passed away. He was a half-step Great Power in life, and before his death, he refined his natal magic weapon into this one-time forbidden artifact."

Xia Yiming closed the wooden box and pushed it toward Li Xian.

"Anyone below the Immortal level who touches it will die instantly. Even a half-step Great Power would perish without the protection of powerful treasures."

Li Xian put the wooden box into the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Thank you.

"Brother Li, you're too kind." Xia Yiming raised his cup. "Regarding the Yao Guang matter, is it necessary for the Great Xia to intervene?"

"No need." Li Xian picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The banquet ended, and everyone returned home satisfied.
