Chapter 697: Chapter 697 Emperor Extreme Pill
Time slowly trickled away.
Ling Chen, however, found it quite tedious.
These items were simply too insignificant in his eyes.
"The next item up for auction is a type of Elixir called Emperor Extreme Pill!"
Yan Huo said with a smile.
After saying this, she stopped speaking, waiting for the crowd’s reaction.
"What?! Emperor Extreme Pill!"
Excited voices erupted everywhere.
Countless cultivators stood up in shock.
Emperor Extreme Pill, a miraculous elixir that could unconditionally elevate a World Realm Emperor up by one level.
Such elixirs were extremely rare.
It was rare for anyone to auction them off!
You see, at the World Realm level, each advancement required a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy, and sometimes one might get stuck at a certain bottleneck.
It was common to spend decades, or even decades, breaking through just one level.
However, the Emperor Extreme Pill could directly elevate an Emperor up by one star, bypassing years of hard cultivation.
This shows how precious this pill was!
Major sects and families generally reserved it for the most outstanding talents.
Emperor Extreme Pill appearing at an auction, how could it not cause a sensation?
Even people like Ling Chen were extremely envious.
"Lady Yan, please start the auction!"
"Yes! Don’t keep us in suspense!"
"Who doesn’t know the benefits of the Emperor Extreme Pill?"
...
Everyone was extremely anxious.
Hearing this, Yan Huo smiled slightly and said, "Alright! The starting bid is one thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals, each increment must not be less than one hundred, let’s start now!"
"Twelve hundred!"
"Thirteen hundred!"
"Fifteen hundred!"
...
In no time, the price of the Emperor Extreme Pill soared to two thousand eight hundred.
This price was actually not high.
An Emperor Extreme Pill had once fetched a price of over ten thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals.
Even at a regular auction, it would go for at least four thousand.
"Three thousand!"
At this time, a voice came from a private room to the right of Ling Chen.
Three thousand Spirit Crystals was considered a relatively high price for many cultivators.
It should be noted that the participants of this auction were all geniuses.
Even if they had protection, they wouldn’t carry too many top-grade Spirit Crystals.
"Three thousand two!"
Another voice rang out.
Coming from a second-floor private room as well.
The geniuses who could enter the second-floor private rooms were either distinguished by special orders, belonged to one of the top ten sects, or were disciples of major families!
At this level, the geniuses in the main hall below were no longer able to reach.
"Four thousand!"
Ling Chen spoke out directly.
Known as Ling Half-Domain, four thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals were nothing to him.
Ling Chen’s voice resonated throughout the auction house.
It wasn’t his original voice.
Instead, it was a mechanical voice hidden by a Spirit Array.
This way, it helped conceal identities.
And it eliminated the fear of competition by recognizing certain individuals.
As soon as Ling Chen spoke, the entire auction house fell silent.
An immediate spike of eight hundred top-grade Spirit Crystals stunned everyone.
"Guest in private room number nine bids four thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals, does anyone offer higher?"
Yan Huo’s alluring voice sounded.
Four thousand was a good price.
But it didn’t meet her expectations.
"Four thousand one!"
Bid from private room number three.
"Five thousand!"
Just as the voice from private room number three dropped, Ling Chen spoke again.
He was determined to get the Emperor Extreme Pill.
Unlike others, he had no major power backing him; he could only rely on himself.
Missing this chance, who knew when the next would be.
"Gosh, who is this person in private room number nine? They really don’t regard Spirit Crystals as anything substantial!"
"Such a wealthy tycoon!"
"Probably only the top one or two sects in our Zhongzhou could be so generous, right?"
"Ah, why is there such a big gap between people? Just with one sentence, the bid increased by nine hundred top-quality Spirit Crystals! I don’t even have as much in my pocket as their spare change!"
...
The geniuses in the hall were all abuzz with discussions.
This was truly a battle among deities; they, mere mortals, could only watch the excitement.
Such a lavish act by Ling Chen immediately caught the attention of Yan Huo.
As someone from the auction house, she quickly understood who the person in private room number nine was.
"A genius with the Talent Command?"
Yan Huo’s eyes shifted.
She was also a genius with the Talent Command.
It was said that the genius in private room number nine was even younger than her.
"Who exactly is in private room number nine? Daring to compete with me?"
In private room number three, a young man with a gloomy expression coldly said.
The young man’s name was Shi Rui.
He was a genius from Seven Stars Pavilion, one of the top ten sects in the central domain.
Seven Stars Pavilion ranked around the seventh or eighth among the top ten sects.
Previously, at auctions where the Emperor Extreme Pill appeared, their Seven Stars Pavilion could never compete with other sects.
They had never obtained an Emperor Extreme Pill.
This auction was only open to geniuses.
As far as he knew, the geniuses from the top six sects had already consumed Emperor Extreme Pills and would not participate in bidding for them.
Because a Cultivator could only consume one Emperor Extreme Pill, more would be useless.
Thus, he was very confident in obtaining the Emperor Extreme Pill.
The other major sects’ geniuses had already withdrawn from the competition.
Unexpectedly, private room number nine was still competing with him.
And their bids were incredibly lavish!
A single bid raised the price by nearly a thousand top-quality Spirit Crystals, which was unbearable for him.
"Five thousand five hundred!"
Shi Rui shouted.
This price was his limit.
As soon as his words fell, Ling Chen spoke again: "Six thousand!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy surged in Yan Huo’s heart.
Six thousand had already surpassed her expected price.
Generally, at auctions, the Emperor Extreme Pill would sell for around four to five thousand.
"Private room number nine bids six thousand, any higher bids?" Yan Huo smiled.
"Six thousand, first call!"
"Six thousand, second call!"
"Six thousand, third call, sold!"
"Bang!"
With that sound, the auction of the Emperor Extreme Pill came to an end, and Ling Chen secured it.
Inside private room number nine.
Having acquired the Emperor Extreme Pill, Ling Chen was quite excited.
"If anyone sees something they like, just bid for it."
Ling Chen said cheerfully.
"Alright!"
Xiao Qing responded excitedly.
This is the legendary auction!
It seems rather thrilling to compete with others!
Shen Xing, however, didn’t care at all.
The treasures he possessed could probably outweigh Ling Chen by miles.
Ling Wu, trying to save money for Ling Chen, did not participate.
As for Ling Tianxing, he was just there for the entertainment!
Meanwhile, Liu Yu was somewhat tempted.
But remembering his father’s instructions, he suppressed his desire.
In private room number three.
Shi Rui’s face was grim as he punched the wooden desk in front of him and coldly commanded, "Find out the identity of number nine!"
"Yes."
An elder responded and left.
The auction continued.
More batches of Elixirs were auctioned.
Emperor Elixir!
Emperor Explosive Pill!
...
And many others.
These Elixirs were of much lower grade compared to the Emperor Extreme Pill.
Ling Chen bid again, obtaining several Blood-supplementing Elixirs and some Life-extending Pills to enhance Source Energy.
Often using his Green Lotus Bloodline, he greatly needed the Blood-supplementing Elixirs.
The Life-extending Pills were for his father.
