After a round of fierce bidding, the jade slip was finally acquired by an old man for five Rank 7 Pills plus a set of Earth Rank Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique.
"Next up is the second to last item of this auction. Please bring it up!"
What could the second to last item be? The powerful individuals who came to Tianyuan Auction today were all extremely curious.
Soon, a cart appeared in the center of the auction hall, and in the middle of the cart lay a ten-thousand-year-old cold jade box.
The cold jade box emitted an astonishing chill, and some knowledgeable people present had already roughly guessed what kind of item this was.
Elixir!
As Yu Ruyan walked to the cart and opened the cold jade box, an astonishing medicinal fragrance burst forth, invigorating everyone present.
Subsequently, the Elixir in the jade box was enveloped in a faint three-colored Spirit Mist.
The faint spiritual mist swirled around the Elixir, vaguely forming the image of a cat.
"Eighth Grade Pill!" Xiao Li immediately stood up. There was a world of difference between a Rank 7 Pill and an Eighth Grade Pill. An Eighth Grade Pill possessed its own spirituality. Such Elixirs were called living pills or Spirit Pills.
An Eighth Grade Pill, possessing spirituality, could condense into its own form. The Eighth Grade Pill before him had condensed into the image of a cat.
The appearance of the Eighth Grade Pill caused an uproar among those present.
"Everyone, please quiet down. I'm sure you've all guessed it. This auction item is an Eighth Grade Pill! Moreover, it's an Eighth Grade Pill that has experienced three-colored Pill Lightning!
As for this Elixir, I believe all you Venerables should know its name: purple green venerable extreme pill! Dou Venerable powerhouses can increase their cultivation by one star after consuming it!
All you Venerables should understand that one star of cultivation takes countless years of arduous Cultivation, but this Elixir allows for a direct Breakthrough of one star upon consumption.
And this is an Eighth Grade Pill. It is said that consuming Eighth Grade Pills also has other benefits, but unfortunately, this concubine's cultivation is still shallow and she has never consumed one. What a pity.
This Elixir comes from an Elder of the Pill Tower in the Central Plains. Items from the Pill Tower are always exquisite.
Alright everyone, this eighth-grade three-colored purple green venerable extreme pill has no starting bid. The highest bidder wins!"
As soon as Yu Ruyan finished speaking, in just an instant, fierce competition began.
"I offer one scroll of Earth Rank Intermediate Cultivation Technique and a matching Dou Technique!"
"I offer one Rank 7 Pill plus one scroll of Earth Rank Advanced Dou Technique!"
"I offer one scroll of Water-attribute Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique and a matching Dou Technique!"
"Three Rank 7 Pills plus one scroll of Wood-attribute Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique!"
How crazy! Many good things were brought out to bid for this Eighth Grade Pill.
Xiao Li also paid attention to these competing voices. Those who wanted this purple green venerable extreme pill were clearly Dou Venerable powerhouses; Dou Zong were not qualified to compete.
Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Techniques, unheard of in the Northwest Continent, appeared multiple times at this auction.
"As expected, the Central Plains is wealthy. There are so many Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Techniques. The Northwest Continent is truly barren," Xiao Li sighed.
Mang Tianchi: "Don't underestimate Dou Venerable powerhouses. Basically, all Dou Venerable powerhouses Cultivate Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Techniques. Only a very few Cultivate Earth Rank Intermediate due to their own reasons.
Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Technique is the foundation for every Dou Venerable powerhouse. So at the Dou Venerable level, unless you have Heaven-Grade or secret techniques, if you want to fight above your rank, you might as well go to sleep.
The difference of one star at the Dou Venerable level is even greater than the difference of three stars at the Dou Zong level. Let me give you an example: the Four Pavilions and the Three Valleys in the Central Plains.
The Pavilion Masters of the Four Pavilions generally have two to three-star cultivation, while the Valley Masters of the Three Valleys have around four-star cultivation. A four-star Dou Venerable can fight two two-star Dou Venerables and even gain the upper hand!
This is also why the Three Valleys have outwardly always suppressed the Four Pavilions. Of course, each of the Three Valleys has its own Legacy, which you might learn about in the future.
In any case, at the Dou Venerable level, besides the difference in Dou Qi, there is also a difference in spatial comprehension. For example, even if all the Dou Venerables from these Three Valleys and Four Pavilions came at me together, they would not be my opponents."
After listening to Mang Tianchi's explanation, Xiao Li understood one thing: Earth Rank Advanced Cultivation Techniques, which were rarely seen by ordinary Dou Emperors and Dou Zongs, were not difficult to obtain at the Dou Venerable level.
At the Dou Venerable level, everyone was pursuing Heaven Rank or things related to "Saint."
Ultimately, this Eighth Grade Pill, the purple green venerable extreme pill, was bought by a Venerable at an extremely high price.
Yu Ruyan's face was flushed at this time. For her, if she could perfectly host the Heaven-Grade auction, her Family would give her a lot of resources, enough to allow her to advance further!
"Everyone, next is the final item of this auction. This item is very unique and is related to the legendary Dou Saint powerhouse!
Please welcome! The last auction item!"
As Yu Ruyan's voice fell, a maid slowly pushed a cart into the center of the auction hall. On the cart was a silver tray, and on the silver tray was an ancient silver jade slip.
"Everyone, this is the Demonic Lightning Jade Slip, which is related to a Saint! The owner of this item is called Demonic Lightning Saint. Demonic Lightning Saint was an extremely powerful individual in the Central Plains hundreds of years ago.
For some unknown reason, Demonic Lightning Saint perished. This concubine's Family's Old Ancestor, Tianyuan Venerable, coincidentally encountered the ruins of Demonic Lightning Saint, but this Saint's ruins are very special.
Only those holding this jade slip can enter. This is a great Opportunity, and if one can obtain the Legacy of Demonic Lightning Saint,
I believe he will also be able to become a Saint renowned throughout the Central Plains in the future.
There is no starting bid. The highest bidder wins!"
After Yu Ruyan finished explaining the origin of this jade slip, everyone present was reinvigorated.
Even Mang Tianchi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, now opened them. His gaze fixed on the silver jade slip.
"Demonic Lightning Saint, eh? Interesting. There might be good things inside that even I would be tempted by," Mang Tianchi whispered.
Xiao Li: "Then, Dean, why don't you bid? There should be no one here richer than you."
"Hmm! Hmm?..." Mang Tianchi was about to start bidding when he suddenly realized he had missed something.
"What's wrong, Dean?" Xiao Li asked.
"Lad, lend this old man a few Rank 7 Pills for now. I'll return them to you later," Mang Tianchi said, not batting an eyelid.
"Ah?" Xiao Li was dumbfounded: "Dean, you, a Dou Venerable powerhouse, are asking me, a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, for money? Are you playing with me!"
Mang Tianchi's old face flushed: "This old man's storage ring where I keep my valuables was left at the academy. The storage ring I have with me now contains only good things and items that cannot be used for trade.
Let me put it this way, the cheapest thing I have on hand right now is an Eighth Grade Pill that has experienced six-colored Pill Lightning. It would be a bit of a loss to exchange an eighth-grade six-colored Elixir for this item."
Xiao Li: —
"Dean, you don't have any Cultivation Techniques with you?" Xiao Li asked.
"No. What I have on me are either things suitable for Cultivation or Heaven Rank Dou Techniques. I already said the cheapest is this eighth-grade six-colored Elixir," Mang Tianchi shook his head.
"I offer one eighth-grade three-colored Elixir!"
An old voice caught the attention of Xiao Li and Mang Tianchi.
Xiao Li crossed his arms: "Dean, look, it's already an eighth-grade three-colored now. Your six-colored Elixir won't be enough."
