Tier 7 Peak, Life Devouring Pill

Upon hearing this, everyone confirmed their suspicions. That old bastard Mitre Tengshan was truly cunning and deceitful. He had actually arranged for Ya Fei to join the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, using its reputation to punish those who sought to suppress the Mite'er Family.

His reputation was well deserved!

Teng Shan was still Teng Shan!

"Next, please take a short break and wait for the Auction to officially begin."

Ya Fei gave an elegant bow before turning and leisurely leaving.

After learning of this, Jia Xingtian could not help but begin calculating as well. That old fox Teng Shan had actually kept such a matter hidden, trying to hold something back for himself.

President Fa Ma stroked his little mustache and said with a chuckle, "You never know what these people are thinking. Even the Misty Cloud Sect has been much quieter this time."

Jia Xingtian glanced disdainfully at the elders behind Yun Yun. In the entire Jia Ma Empire, aside from Yun Shan, who made him somewhat wary, no one else was worth fearing.

Besides, Yun Shan's fate was unknown. If he died, Jia Xingtian would become the foremost of the ten great experts!

"Sect Leader, Lord of Ascending Heaven Pavilion's identity is truly terrifying. That expert who arrived by walking through the air was killed in a single strike. His strength is at least at the Dou Zong realm!"

Yun Yun nodded with a smile, a trace of complicated emotion flickering across her exquisite face. If that was truly the case, why had Lord Li Xiao concealed his identity?

Along with the crisp chime of a bell that slowly rang throughout the venue, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the auction stage before them. They all knew that this was the signal for the Auction to officially begin.

Light and shadow flickered.

As the newly appointed auctioneer of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, Ya Fei suddenly appeared before everyone.

Ya Fei did not feel the slightest bit nervous. Even though beneath the stage sat Dou Huang and Dou Wang experts she had never encountered before, this was her home ground.

As a qualified auctioneer, Ya Fei had received different training since childhood. With her peerless beauty and proud figure, she had thoroughly conquered the hearts of those lecherous men.

Before everyone's eyes, she lightly clapped her hands and announced in a clear voice, "I declare the Ascending Heaven Pavilion Auction officially open!"

The Auction began.

The first auction item was brought up: five blood-red Tier 7 Pills.

Beneath the dense medicinal fragrance, the alchemists all turned solemn gazes toward them.

"These are Tier 7 Pills... Life Devouring Pills..."

Medicine Emperor Han Feng naturally recognized these pills as well.

The Life Devouring Pill was a Tier 7 Peak pill, a miraculous pill that had once shocked the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The Life Devouring Pill's effect was that it could allow a Da Dou Shi-level cultivator to reach the Dou Wang realm within an extremely short time. However, the drawback was that they would have only three years left to live.

Its advantages and drawbacks were both exceedingly clear. Those who dared consume it were either ruthless people or those with nowhere left to turn. If combined with pills that extended one's lifespan, breaking through to the Dou Huang realm during that period would eliminate its side effects. This pill could be used to cultivate a faction's strength on a large scale.

"I never expected them to truly be Life Devouring Pills. I thought such pills had already vanished from the world. Who would have thought they still existed?"

The Life Devouring Pill was extremely dangerous. A single mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao, unless one could break through to the Dou Huang realm.

But how could breaking through to the Dou Huang realm be so easy? That was not a realm one could reach just by talking about it.

After Ya Fei finished introducing the effects of the Life Devouring Pills, even those below the Dou Wang realm were left dumbfounded. They had never imagined that such a miraculous item existed in the world.

Yet no one dared ask about the price, because they all knew that the five Life Devouring Pills would definitely not be cheap. However, none of them intended to bid either.

With only three years left to live, what use was obtaining strength above the Dou Wang realm? Unless one carried a blood-deep vendetta, who would swallow such a pill?!

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand gold coins. Please bid as you please."

Everyone sighed in regret. What a waste of Tier 7 Peak pills.

However, Fan Lao, Sect Leader of the Blood Sect, grew interested. What Blood Sect disciples feared least was death. If they cultivated a small squad of Dou Wang experts, they could take the opportunity to eliminate the Blood Sect's hidden enemies.

And they would leave behind no traces whatsoever.

Why not?

"One hundred and ten thousand gold coins." Fan Lao raised the placard beside him. Since no one was raising the price, these five Life Devouring Pills would belong to the Blood Sect.

However, there were always people who liked joining in for the fun of it.

"One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins."

"One hundred and forty thousand gold coins."

"One hundred and eighty thousand gold coins!"

Everyone had begun raising the bids. Although most people had become interested in these so-called Tier 7 Peak Life Devouring Pills, they had no intention of competing for them.

Medicine Emperor Han Feng said, "What, does Sect Leader Fan Lao want these Life Devouring Pills?"

Fan Lao chuckled. "Medicine Emperor, you overpraise me. I am merely interested in these Life Devouring Pills. If they truly are as the legends say, then it would not be impossible for our Blood Sect to cultivate a few Dou Wang experts. It is just that my subordinates would be pitiful, with only three years left to live."

"Very well. Since you like them, feel free to bid for them."

Only after confirming that Han Feng would not compete did Fan Lao let out a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that the Medicine Emperor would be interested in the Life Devouring Pills as well.

However, the next sentence caused Fan Lao's expression to change.

"If Sect Leader Fan Lao successfully wins them, I hope Sect Leader Fan Lao can give me two pills for research. What do you think?"

Such wolfish ambition was probably something only that bastard Han Feng could display.

Fan Lao's mouth twitched, but he had no choice. Who told Han Feng to be the Medicine Emperor? He had come this time to assist him. If he backed out now, not only would he fail to obtain the pill needed for his advancement, even the five Tier 7 Peak Life Devouring Pills would never fall into his hands.

"I understand."

"Hehe, thank you." Han Feng nodded with a faint smile.

As the saying went, those who understood the times were wise. As long as they obeyed, they could have whatever pills they wanted.

But if they refused to obey, then they could not blame him for being ruthless and heartless.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins!" Fan Lao gritted his teeth and could only continue raising the bid. Han Feng had made himself very clear: Fan Lao had to spend a large sum of gold coins to win these Life Devouring Pills.

Otherwise, it would be a grave disrespect to him! "Sect Leader Fan Lao has bid two hundred thousand gold coins. Is anyone willing to raise the price further?"

"Four hundred thousand gold coins." Wu Protector suddenly raised the bid. The Venerable's death could only be compensated for with items from the Auction. Otherwise, upon returning, he would certainly face punishment.

Fan Lao's pupils shrank. "It is that Dou Zong expert. Medicine Emperor, should we continue bidding?"

Medicine Emperor Han Feng stared at Wu Protector, smacked his lips, and said, "Since they want them, let them have them. Offending a Dou Zong expert is not a wise choice."

Fan Lao's mouth twitched. He had not expected the Medicine Emperor to be so blatantly inconsistent. Just moments ago, he had wanted the Life Devouring Pills, but upon learning that Wu Protector had entered the bidding, he simply gave up.

How ruthless!
