Lord of Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Li Xiao! Please Bookmark and Recommend

Han Feng sneered inwardly. He was nothing more than a junior. He did not have the qualifications to compete with him for the Deep Sea Blue Heart.

As the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, his status was practically second only to Dou Zong experts. He also knew several Dou Zong friends, and the funds at his disposal were absolutely not something Xiao Yan could compare to.

"Kid, use whatever tricks you have. Otherwise, you won't get another chance."

Han Feng shrugged and continued raising the price. "Ten Million Gold Coins!"

This price was already extremely exorbitant. Even the Mittel Auction House would need several years to gather Ten Million Gold Coins. Yet to these powerful figures of the Black-Corner Region, it was merely routine.

Xiao Yan thought to himself, Teacher, what should we do?

"Alas, we cannot possibly be Han Feng's match. I still have a few Tier 7 Pills on me, but if we reveal them, it is very likely to bring you a fatal disaster."

Yao Chen sighed. He knew full well that if they brought out Tier 7 Pills, they would undoubtedly become the target of everyone present. Those were Tier 7 Pills that even Dou Zong experts could not bear to consume, each worth several million or more.

Xiao Yan had made up his mind. He absolutely could not hand the Deep Sea Blue Heart over to Medicine Emperor Han Feng. Otherwise, avenging his teacher in the future would become even more difficult.

Yao Lao was also moved by Xiao Yan's resolve. In that case, they would go all out! As long as he could restore his Soul Power, he would have enough strength to deal with any enemy who came for them.

"Add three more Tier 7 Pills!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, even Han Feng could not help standing up. "You actually possess Tier 7 Pills? How is that possible?!"

It was not only Han Feng. The other alchemists also cast grave looks their way. Tier 7 Pills could only be refined by a Rank 7 Alchemist, and their prices were astronomical. The medicinal ingredients within them were all top-tier as well.

A Sixth-Rank Alchemist could call a Dou Zong brother, while a Rank 7 Alchemist could swear a blood oath with a Dou Zun Strong!

Niu Meng calculated the value and ultimately concluded that the three Tier 7 Pills were worth Thirteen Million Gold Coins. They were so expensive because two of them contained High-Level Magic Cores, and all of them were pills capable of increasing combat strength. Their high price was perfectly normal.

If not for this barter arrangement, these few Tier 7 Pills alone would have been enough to drive Dou Huang experts mad.

The Green Lotus Core Flame had only sold for over Twenty Million Gold Coins back then. Could this Deep Sea Blue Heart possibly sell for over Twenty Million as well? Xiao Yan's total bid had now reached a staggering Eighteen Million Gold Coins.

The corner of Han Feng's mouth twitched. "Kid, how could you possibly produce Tier 7 Pills? Just who is your teacher?"

"I already said it has nothing to do with you, Medicine Emperor."

Han Feng pondered with a grave expression, uncertain whether he should continue raising the price to obtain this piece of Deep Sea Blue Heart.

After mulling it over for a long time, Han Feng asked, "Miss Linglong, are there any more auction items after this?"

Linglong answered softly, "There is one final item."

Hearing that only one auction item remained, Han Feng looked again at the Gold Coins he had brought, then at the group of Dou Huang experts eyeing the stage covetously. They were probably waiting for the final auction item as well.

"Brat, you win this time." Han Feng snorted coldly. This Deep Sea Blue Heart was only palm-sized. Though rare and difficult to find on the market, it was worth around Ten Million Gold Coins at most. There was no need to spend Twenty Million Gold Coins on it.

Seeing that the other party had stopped bidding, Xiao Yan finally relaxed. His entire body seemed drained of strength as he slumped limply into his chair.

Without the protection of Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Han Feng would probably have torn him to pieces long ago.

Linglong struck the Auction Hammer, officially declaring the Deep Sea Blue Heart to be Xiao Yan's property.

The final auction item was extremely special, so there would be a half-hour break before the auction resumed.

Furthermore, Niu Meng and Linglong began watching their surroundings vigilantly. If these Dou Huang experts intended to make a move and snatch it away, there was no need to keep them alive.

There was no such thing as reluctance when it came to killing a Dou Huang expert.

Meanwhile, Bing Shuang on the third floor revealed a faint sneer. For now, she had no intention of exposing herself to the others. There was no need for Ascending Heaven Pavilion to reveal its foundations so early.

Waiting was torment, but Li Xiao had a talent for business. To relieve their boredom, he specifically arranged for his subordinates to bring out chilled watermelons and sell them.

Outside, a watermelon cost only a few copper coins. Here, however, it cost dozens of Gold Coins.

Yet these powerful figures did not care. They had already spent hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins, so a few dozen more did not matter. Besides, the watermelons personally grown by Ascending Heaven Pavilion contained a peculiar energy. After eating them, the energy transformed into Dou Qi and swept through their limbs and bones.

That bite of watermelon was worth it!

Time flew by, and the half-hour soon passed.

Li Xiao, who had been reclining on the third floor, slowly rose to his feet. He pulled a red Evil Ghost Mask from his robes. The mask was lifelike, savage, and terrifying.

He then placed the mask over his face. It could not only conceal his aura, but also prevent others from probing him. Even if a Dou Emperor came, they would not be able to discern the slightest trace of his cultivation.

The lights in the first-floor hall suddenly dimmed. Amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a beam of white light shone onto the Crystal Stage, and the masked Li Xiao abruptly appeared before everyone.

"Who is that?"

"I've never seen him before. Is he a new auctioneer from Ascending Heaven Pavilion?"

Questions and doubts rose and fell around the hall as everyone guessed at Li Xiao's identity. Some even thought Ascending Heaven Pavilion had found a shill.

Li Xiao swept his robe behind him and cupped his hands toward the crowd. "Everyone, please remain calm. I am the Lord of Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Li Xiao. It is my pleasure to conduct this auction for you."

"What?!"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was utterly shocked. They had never seen the Lord of Ascending Heaven Pavilion before and remained deeply suspicious of his identity. Some even believed Ascending Heaven Pavilion had come from the Central Continent.

Several streams of Spiritual Power converged, all probing Lord Li Xiao's origins and strength. Yet without exception, every one of them was rebounded. They coughed up blood, their foundations damaged.

"How is this possible... Just how strong is he..."

Yuan Yi, the Eight Gates Sect Leader, stared wide-eyed. He had suffered a backlash, and his Dou Qi was still in turmoil. He even felt as though his body might explode and kill him.

"How terrifying. I have never encountered such a powerful expert. Could his strength be above Dou Zong?!"

Medicine Emperor Han Feng narrowed his eyes. He likewise could not sense any aura from Li Xiao. Instead, he was intimidated by the power radiating from that aura. Had he not reacted in time, he would likely have ended up like those people, coughing blood with his aura in disorder and perhaps even facing mortal danger.
