Chapter 823: You Win
Heaven-Shaker · 第823章 你赢了
The Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill lay on the jade plate, exuding a fierce and terrifying aura, with a faint, elusive breath of desolation flowing from it.
This pill was extremely formidable; its aura alone was barely inferior to that of an eighth-grade pill, and its miraculous effects were even more fearsome.
Even experts at the Undying level were tempted; such a thing would bring them immense benefits, causing their physical bodies to advance by leaps and bounds.
To refine the Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill successfully, one needed six desolate beasts. Such creatures were rare even in the Age of Desolation, and now they were nearly extinct.
Of course, there was also the legendary Nine-Revolution Divine Bone Pill, which was exceedingly rare and extremely difficult to refine successfully; very few such pills had ever appeared in the world.
Everyone attending the auction was burning with desire; consuming this pill would bring tremendous benefits.
"Though this pill is good, the risk of taking it is not small. If one is careless, ending up dead would be the end." Suddenly, just as the whole audience was aflame with desire, a strange, sarcastic voice rang out.
As the voice faded, most people felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them. The speaker was right—this thing was not something ordinary people could enjoy.
Back when Yang Tian took the Three-Revolution Treasure Bone Pill, if not for the Divine Dragon Soul-Calming Jade Pendant killing the remnant soul of the desolate beast, he would have faced a considerable crisis.
The Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill contained six remnant souls. An ordinary expert would likely be killed by them before even refining the pill.
"Yao Xuan is right. Someone once ate this pill and ended up exploding to death."
"This pill is a rare treasure. Without a soul-protecting artifact to guard one's soul body, it's uncertain who would be eating whom."
The old man glanced toward Yao Xuan's room and sneered inwardly. Thinking that a single word from him could stop some Undying experts from bidding was nothing but a fool's dream.
Although the Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill contained remnant souls, it posed no great crisis for certain experts. Relying on these juniors to stop them was utterly impossible.
"This Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill was also obtained from the Fallen Divine Realm. Rest assured regarding its origin. This pill has no reserve price. Feel free to bid with any treasures you have. The final decision rests with our establishment."
"Tsk tsk, it seems the Xuanmo Pavilion has obtained quite a few treasures from the Fallen Divine Realm." Some old men were discussing among themselves. This auction was truly heavyweight; the treasures were of exceptional quality, many from the Fallen Divine Realm.
"I wonder if I can win the bid." Yang Tian's eyes swept across the outside. Several private rooms on par with the Tianyao Pavilion had been silent all along, but now a few were emitting soul fluctuations—they must be tempted.
The price began to climb higher. Artifacts, pills, and spirit medicines of exceptional quality appeared, requiring the younger generation to step up. If this pill were refined, one's combat power would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
"Two thirty-thousand-year-old spirit medicines." A private room on the upper floor made a bid, shocking many.
"That's the private room of the Tianyu Holy Land. It seems their clan has emerged as well. I wonder what has drawn so many superpowers to this auction?" Many began to speculate, sensing that some supreme treasure might appear at this auction.
"Two seventh-grade high-level pills." A woman spoke, her voice like celestial music, extremely pleasant.
"That's the Xuanyin Holy Land. I wonder if this holy land has produced any extraordinary women." Many of the younger generation began to converse. All disciples of the Xuanyin Holy Land were peerless women.
"Three high-level pills. Haha, everyone, don't compete with me." A fierce and terrifying voice rang out, laughter echoing throughout the venue, carrying no lack of threatening intent.
"Heavens! Even the Yin-Yang Divine Sect has emerged. Could it be that many dormant major powers in the Great Wasteland are beginning to surface?"
The scene was extremely heated. This pill had drawn out many experts; it seemed many of the younger generation were tempted.
"They must be waiting for some rare supreme treasure. Although this pill is precious, it can't compare to the Five-Colored Divine Phoenix Essence Blood. This pill won't cost much of their resources." Yang Tian murmured, also curious to see what kind of thing could attract their attention.
"On top of this base price, I add three thousand high-grade blood stones." The Tianyu Holy Land spoke.
"I add five thousand." At this moment, Yang Tian made his move. The pills he had obtained from the female demon were nearly enough to make up seventh-grade pills. He was determined to get this pill.
"It's that person again. Who exactly did Lan Chen invite, with such a丰厚 fortune?"
"Who knows? But daring to contend with the major sects, he's certainly no ordinary man."
Lan Chen also looked at Yang Tian with surprise. Since the auction began, Yang Tian had already spent a great deal of resources, yet he remained unperturbed—his background was not simple.
"Eight thousand!" The Yin-Yang Divine Sect spoke, their words laden with warning. This sect's foundation was extremely powerful.
"Ten thousand!" Yang Tian directly stated. With this pill, his combat power would skyrocket to a new level.
With a bang, the Yin-Yang Divine Sect's private room erupted with powerful fluctuations—the Yin and Yang energies surged, extremely formidable, intimidating many experts.
"Haha, this is so fun. I'll add a bit too—twelve thousand, then." Yao Xuan's cold voice came.
The aura emanating from the Yin-Yang Divine Sect grew even more intense, shaking the surroundings and nearly causing an eruption. If not for the consideration of the Xuanmo Pavilion's experts, they would have already charged out.
"Young master, the later items are coming soon. We absolutely cannot waste any more blood stones now." The old woman behind him immediately grew anxious.
"You old thing, I'm just toying with this person. What's your hurry?" Hearing this, Yao Xuan glanced sidelong at the old woman and snorted coldly.
"The young master is wise. This old servant deserves death." The old woman's face changed instantly, full of flattery.
Yao Xuan snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming with cold light. Having lost so much face earlier, he was determined to get it back this time.
Inside the private room, Yang Tian frowned. He no longer had enough blood stones; they were almost all used up.
After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "Add a fist-sized piece of top-grade blood stone!"
This faint voice left many people speechless. Top-grade blood stones were not common; even the major sects would not use them lightly. They were supreme treasures for breaking through cultivation levels.
Yang Tian had no choice. He didn't have many of these either, but if they could enhance his strength, he would spare no expense. This opportunity might not come again.
"What a pauper. I bid two!" Yao Xuan said arrogantly, like a wealthy landlord scolding a commoner.
Yang Tian frowned slightly and was about to speak when Lan Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, although this pill is good, the price has already far exceeded its value."
Hearing this, Yang Tian smiled: "No matter how high the price, it cannot compare to enhancing one's own strength. Treasures are ultimately external things. This Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill is extremely rare; who knows when I'll encounter it again."
"Brother Yang speaks wisely." Lan Chen slapped the table. He was right—treasures were external; only one's own strength was true.
Suddenly, a jade box appeared before Yang Tian. Lan Chen smiled: "I originally obtained two of these and planned to take one myself. Since Brother Yang needs it, I'll sell it to you at this price."
Yang Tian's eyelids twitched. When he opened it, he saw a Six-Revolution Heavenly Bone Pill lying inside.
"How can I accept this? Brother Lan, please take it back. This pill is also of great use to you. Besides, I can still afford to buy it." Yang Tian shook his head.
"Brother Yang, the Ice Soul Treasure Pill you took out earlier is extremely beneficial to my physique. It can stimulate my potential and greatly aid my future cultivation. Consider this Heavenly Bone Pill as traded at the original price. Brother Yang, please don't refuse; just accept it."
Seeing Lan Chen's nonchalant attitude, Yang Tian finally nodded. He gave Lan Chen the pills and blood stones he had bid with, then picked up the Heavenly Bone Pill.
To Lan Chen, this person was very mysterious and definitely worth befriending. A single Heavenly Bone Pill didn't mean much to him.
The scene quieted for a moment. Many looked at Lan Chen's private room with strange expressions—had he just given up like that?
A trace of unease also appeared in Yao Xuan's heart. This kind of pill was of little use to demon cultivators; even with his enhanced physique, he wouldn't gain much improvement.
"You win..."
Suddenly, a faint voice resounded throughout the venue.
