Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven

Chapter 1911 - 1902: Ancient Pill Recipe

As the two chatted idly, more and more cultivators arrived at the auction venue as time passed.

No one knew exactly how much time had passed when an old man slowly walked onto the stage in the hall.

He cleared his throat and then said loudly, "Thank you all for coming. I am Cheng Liang, the Great Elder of Linghong Sacred Land. Most of the Daoist fellows here are old acquaintances, so I won’t introduce myself further."

"Today’s auction will be presided over by myself. Regarding the rules of our Linghong Auction House, I believe everyone is already familiar with them, so I won’t elaborate."

"Now, let’s begin the auction directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, an item was quickly brought up and displayed on the auction stage for all to see.

"A Harmonization Realm expert..."

In private room number three, Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but squint, sensing that this Great Elder Cheng Liang of Linghong Sacred Land had reached at least the Unity Realm Stage in cultivation.

Thinking carefully, it’s not surprising at all.

After all, being the Great Elder of Linghong Sacred Land, how could he lack Unity Realm Stage cultivation?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first item to be auctioned today is a piece of Outer Heaven Strange Stone."

"This stone is as hard as Divine Iron, with a dark golden hue, an extremely rare strength, making it the best material for crafting Divine Weapons. The starting price is one million spirit stones, with each increase not less than one hundred thousand. Now, please start bidding."

As Cheng Liang’s voice fell, a clamor broke out among the crowd, as many began to discuss.

Soon, someone in the hall below couldn’t hold back and made a bid, "My Cangyan Sect happens to lack a Supreme Weapon. I bid one million spirit stones for this stone. I hope all Daoist fellows will give me some face and not contend for it."

"A mere one million spirit stones and you want to take away this Outer Heaven Strange Stone? Your Cangyan Sect is truly calculative. I bid one million two hundred thousand!"

"I bid one million five hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

"..."

As the crowd continued to compete, in just a moment, the price of this strange stone soared to three million spirit stones.

This price deterred many, exceeding their limits of affordability.

But there were still many people in competition.

After another moment, the price directly reached five million.

By now, the number of people still bidding had dwindled significantly, leaving just three or four contenders.

"I bid five million five hundred thousand. If there’s any Daoist fellow who can offer a higher price, then I will back off." The elder from Cangyan Sect spoke through gritted teeth.

Five million five hundred thousand was clearly his limit. If someone else offered a higher bid, despite his reluctance, there would be nothing he could do.

"This strange stone is unimpressive, indicating it likely contains many impurities. Its value is no more than four million. Your willingness to bid five million five hundred thousand shows a great need for this stone. However, I’m also slightly interested in it and willing to offer six million."

At this moment, the crowd fell silent in the hall, and a faint voice echoed from a private room on the second floor.

"Six million..."

This price startled the attendees.

More importantly, the bidder was someone from a second-floor private room.

Those seated on the second floor typically had significant backgrounds, far beyond what those in the hall could compare in terms of strength or financial capability.

"Isn’t that person an Elder of the Jiang Family from Ancient Martial Arts? Truly wealthy."

Many eyes turned to see the elderly figure seated in room seven on the second floor, with someone recognizing him immediately.

"Daoist fellow from the Jiang Family bids six million spirit stones. Is there a higher bid?"

Cheng Liang cleared his throat and continued, "Six million once..."

"Six million twice..."

"Six million, sold!"

"Boom!"

With a final strike of the gavel, the strange stone was ultimately auctioned off to the Jiang Family for six million.

"These people are truly wealthy, bidding six million spirit stones for a stone filled with impurities." Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but mutter softly in private room number three.

When he first came to the Heavenly Domain, although his Master gifted him a substantial amount of spirit stones, it was only around twenty to thirty million. It wasn’t a small amount, but definitely not much.

"Given your current reputation, if you agreed to join any Sacred Land, they’d offer you not just six million but even sixty million." Ruan Xinyu chuckled.

She wasn’t exaggerating, but stating a fact.

A genius who had comprehended the Heavenly Emperor Secret Technique and defeated Song Hao of the Reverse Life Realm’s ninth level with only a fifth-level cultivation in the same realm.

Such a young prodigy attracted numerous factions eager to recruit him.

Compared to that, what’s a mere sixty million spirit stones?

"Am I really worth that much?" Mo Wangchen quipped.

"Has anything caught your eye, Young Master? Feel free to bid when the time comes. Xuanling Sacred Land is willing to cover the cost for you," Ruan Xinyu offered. Like most factions, Xuanling Sacred Land also aimed to ally with Mo Wangchen.

Even if he chose not to join Xuanling Sacred Land, maintaining a positive relationship with him would undoubtedly benefit them.

"I just came to see the commotion; there’s nothing specific I want. But since you’ve offered, if something does catch my eye later, I won’t hold back." Mo Wangchen replied.

The auction soon resumed.

After the Outer Heaven Strange Stone, several other items were successively brought out.

Fierce competition ensued, with prices exceeding five million, and two items even reached eight million.

Mo Wangchen found it somewhat dull since none of the items piqued his interest.

"Next, we will auction a lost Ancient Pill Recipe!"

Cheng Liang continued, "This pill is called the Reverse Life Pill, which, as the name suggests, can help Reverse Life Realm cultivators increase their breakthrough success rate by at least twenty to at most fifty percent!"

"Reverse Life Pill?"

"At least twenty to fifty percent chance..."

As he finished, the room buzzed with excitement.

Countless discussions erupted, eyes glimmering with anticipation.

In the Vast Heavenly Domain, countless Reverse Life Realm experts strive for breakthroughs daily.

However, those who succeed in breaking through are few, with less than ten successful out of every hundred attempts!

Some spend centuries trapped at one level, attempting multiple breakthroughs without success.

Now, if a miraculous pill like the Reverse Life Pill truly emerges, it would be a boon for them!
