Ye Cangtian and Qingyan conversed while the auction proceeded smoothly.
Although the subsequent treasures surpassed the previous ones, they held little utility for the Yin Group, thus Lan Yue made no bids.
This phenomenon was actually quite normal; both first-rate and peak powers sourced their collected treasures from ruins and secret realms.
The secret realms swept by Ye Cangtian were top-tier existences within the ruins, and the rarity of the treasures he obtained far surpassed that of other factions.
Under such circumstances, the Yin Group naturally disdained the treasures at the auction.
The Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan, presented by the Yin Group, became the finale of this auction.
Ye Cangtian was somewhat perplexed by this, as the primary function of the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan was to replenish vitality, with extremely weak effects on spirit power and cultivation.
Therefore, its value shouldn't be that high.
However, Qingyan held a different view. While few individuals needed the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan, many among them were powerhouses.
For instance, the old monsters of various factions, advanced in age and close to the end of their lifespans.
With the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan, they could extend their lives considerably, potentially using that time to achieve breakthroughs.
Moreover, the higher one's status and the stronger their cultivation, the more they feared death.
Considering all factors, Qingyan placed the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan at the finale.
Indeed, as Qingyan had predicted, when Yan Yun'er finished introducing the functions of the Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan, the bidding reached a fever pitch.
In a short time, the price escalated to 1200 Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, with the bid coming from Qingyan of the Yan Yu Tower.
Following the expedition to the Mustard Seed Space, Qingyan's injuries had largely healed, but his lifespan had been significantly reduced.
Thus, to prolong his life, Qingyan planned to spare no expense.
Ye Cangtian's eyes flickered at this. After all, Qingyan had been injured while acting for everyone's sake.
Now, having to spend such a fortune to recover, he felt a pang of guilt.
He nudged Qingyan beside him and whispered, "Senior, 1200 Nine Revolutions Golden Pills could significantly enhance the strength of many disciples. Is this truly worth it?"
"It is worth it!"
Qingyan nodded without hesitation and continued, "Other treasures are easily obtainable, but a heavenly pill like this is a rare sight in a century..."
Qingyan stated that in the past, he might have hesitated.
However, after the Mustard Seed Space incident, his lifespan was dwindling, and the next generation of the Yan Yu Tower had not yet matured.
Therefore, he had to live as long as possible until someone could take over and stand on their own!
Alas!
Ye Cangtian sighed, his eyes flickering. With such a reason, the elder was indeed venerable.
After a moment, Ye Cangtian took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun Bag and, seeing no one paying attention, secretly slipped it into Qingyan's hand.
Huh?
Qingyan looked down and saw the inscription "Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan" on the small porcelain bottle, falling into a daze.
The next moment, he quickly whispered, "Young friend, this is unacceptable. In the Canglan Immortal Hall, you already gave me a heavenly pill. How can I accept another one from you for free!"
Although Qingyan was severely injured at the time.
The fact that it could save him from the brink of death and even slightly improve his cultivation and spirit power spoke volumes about the quality of the pill.
"Please accept it!"
"As long as the Yan Yu Tower contributes more to the Huaxia Ruins in the future, this pill will be considered worthwhile."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly. In his heart, he had another intention: to further solidify their relationship with this pill.
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Qingyan finally accepted the pill and then said, "Your great righteousness makes me deeply ashamed. I will certainly lead the Yan Yu Tower to serve the Huaxia forces wholeheartedly in the future..."
While they were conversing quietly, Yan Yun'er on the stage was anxious.
Ye Zhenghao had already surpassed Yan Yu Tower's bid. If Qingyan did not bid again, the pill would belong to the Lie Huo Yuan.
But just as she was about to signal Qingyan, Qingyan made a simple gesture, indicating that he was giving up the bid. This baffled Yan Yun'er.
However, as it was Qingyan's decision, she could not disobey.
Finally, she raised her small hammer and brought it down heavily. The Sheng Sheng Bu Xi Dan was bought by Ye Zhenghao at the exorbitant price of 1400 Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
Next, the auction featured the Qinglian Golden Silk Robe left by the Fei Yun Pavilion.
The outcome was unquestionable, as it was directly purchased by the Yan Yu Tower for 200 Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
With this, the entire auction segment concluded.
Yan Yun'er on stage, having acquired the Qinglian Golden Silk Robe, was somewhat excited, calming down after a short while.
Following this, she slowly announced, "Next is the benefit segment of the peak meeting. Anyone can propose trades with other factions. Of course, the other party has the right to refuse the trade..."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian finally understood the reason why many were willing to endure humiliation just to stay for the auction and trading event.
After all, the items presented by various factions for trade were definitely not particularly valuable treasures.
With the current benefit segment, it provided an opportunity for various factions to acquire items they desired.
As he was thinking this, a figure leaped onto the stage – it was Wei Xiaofeng, the young island master of Chi Xia Island.
Wei Xiaofeng's gaze was fixed on Ye Cangtian, with a hint of apprehension.
The next moment, he calmed his emotions and said, "Mr. Ye, previously in the Mustard Seed Space, Emperor Canglan presented two Qiankun Emperor Pills. They should have fallen into your hands, correct?
I wonder if Mr. Ye would be willing to trade one? You may set any conditions!"
The Bing Jia Lou was forced to retreat to isolated islands at sea because it lacked Heavenly Grade experts.
Therefore, to change this situation, the Bing Jia Lou had to have its own Heavenly Grade experts.
However, although Wei Xiaofeng possessed considerable talent, cultivating to the Heavenly Grade was an extremely difficult feat.
It was the emergence of the Qiankun Kun Dan that had illuminated his path, offering him hope.
But with this statement, all eyes turned to Ye Cangtian, equally willing to pay any price for a pill.
These individuals had also learned of Ye Cangtian obtaining the pills and had intended to trade for them, but Wei Xiaofeng had beaten them to it.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian scanned the crowd, slowly stood up, and bowed slightly, "My apologies, the Qiankun Emperor Pills have already been consumed by disciples of the Yin Group."
For any other treasures, he might have considered it, but he would never return the Qin Kun Emperor Pills to any faction.
After all, as factions grew stronger, their ambitions also swelled.
Whether they would make a move against the Yin Group in the future remained unknown.
Moreover, many among these factions had forgotten that they were part of the Huaxia Ruins.
Therefore, rather than trading the pills to these people, it was better to leave them for his own brothers and sisters, allowing them to take fewer detours.
Most importantly, his brothers and sisters were constantly defending the Huaxia forces!
What!
At this remark, everyone's eyes widened, and a sense of apprehension gradually appeared in their pupils.
The Qiankun Emperor Pills had a seventy percent chance of elevating a person to the Heavenly Grade. Ye Cangtian had given both pills to his disciples.
Did this mean the Yin Group had gained two more Heavenly Grade experts?
If so, the Yin Group would have at least five Heavenly Grade experts, a power that was undoubtedly terrifying.
Sensing the gazes of everyone, Ye Cangtian spoke with a hint of helplessness, "I know what you are thinking. I can tell you now that the Qiankun Emperor Pills are not as powerful as you imagine!
The two disciples who consumed the pills did not break through to the Heavenly Grade; their cultivation only saw a slight improvement."
As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." Ye Cangtian was well aware of this principle and therefore did not reveal the truth regarding this matter.
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, everyone's expression eased slightly.
Regardless of whether Ye Cangtian's statement was true or false, they chose to believe him.
After all, if the Yin Group truly possessed five Heavenly Grade experts, the psychological pressure they would exert would be immense.
On the other side, upon hearing Ye Cangtian's reply, Wei Xiaofeng's face showed no sign of disappointment.
He quickly said, "Mr. Ye, you have displayed mental power attacks before. I believe you possess cultivation techniques for mental power attacks. I wonder if you would be willing to trade such techniques?"
