Ice Crystal Cold Jade

Fan Lao gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat Han Feng to death on the spot. But because of Medicine Emperor Han Feng's status, he could only let it go.

In the end, Wu Protector successfully purchased the Life Devouring Pills at two hundred thousand Gold Coins per pill.

Li Xiao was not upset over the low price. The Life Devouring Pills were extremely cheap in the System Shop, costing only a few tens of thousands in total. Earning several hundred thousand was already more than enough to satisfy him.

The second auction item was a Crystal Stone.

Ya Fei introduced it, "I'm sure everyone is curious about the purpose of this Crystal Stone. Like the Deep Sea Blue Heart, it comes from the depths of the sea, but its effects are not the same."

"It is called Ice Crystal Cold Jade and can only be produced in the deep sea. It crystallizes over a hundred years, takes shape over a thousand years, and only becomes true Ice Crystal Cold Jade after ten thousand years."

"The user can directly advance by two realms. Not only that, it can also help refine one's marrow and bones more quickly, thereby granting even greater talent."

"Most importantly, something I'm sure you are all interested in—it can evolve one's bloodline."

The entire venue fell silent at those words.

Evolve one's bloodline...

The experts of the Dou Qi Continent judged their future paths according to their bloodline talents. Take the Eight Great Clans, for example. The Dou Di Bloodline flowed through their bodies, allowing them to stand proudly upon the Central Continent for so many years.

Now, as time passed, the Dou Di Bloodline had ultimately declined toward extinction. Those with high-grade bloodlines were all key targets for clan cultivation, while those with lowly bloodlines would be sent to the frontiers and left to fend for themselves.

Moreover, the Dou Di Bloodline was likely the rarest bloodline in Battle Through the Heavens. Since the Dou Qi Continent had lacked origin qi for thousands of years, it had been passed down generation after generation, and even the Dou Di Bloodlines that once had inheritances had gradually become thinner and thinner.

Bloodlines were also divided into grades one through nine, followed by the God-level bloodline. Anyone who reached the God-level bloodline could become an expert capable of ruling the world.

Within the Gu Clan, after Xun'er underwent her test, an exceedingly rare God-level bloodline had appeared.

For the Gu Clan, this was likely the first occurrence in countless centuries. The God-level bloodline was so powerful that it directly destroyed the Star Plate. Without question, among the younger generation, Xun'er was the true number one.

As one of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Gu Clan was also one of the two clans with the deepest foundations and greatest strength, the other being the Hun Clan.

The moment Xun'er's God-level bloodline appeared, the Gu Clan was shaken to its core.

She was even made a key target for cultivation and protected every step of the way until she broke through to that realm.

Wu Protector's mouth went dry. If this was true, why had there never been any record of it in ancient books, not even the slightest hint?

In truth, it was just as Ya Fei had said: a hundred years to crystallize, a thousand years to take shape, and ten thousand years to become true Ice Crystal Cold Jade.

Ice Crystal Cold Jade required ten thousand years of tempering before it could truly form, and the process was immensely difficult. If magical beasts interfered, such a supreme treasure would never come into existence.

That was why Ice Crystal Cold Jade could raise the grade of one's bloodline. As for whether it could improve those without a Dou Di Bloodline, they could only find out through personal experimentation.

Ya Fei said, "Since everyone seems to have no more questions, the Auction will now officially begin."

"The starting price is two million Gold Coins. Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred thousand Gold Coins~"

Those seductive words set everyone's blood boiling. Even Linglong felt somewhat inferior. Sure enough, she simply was not suited to being an auctioneer.

Staying by Pavilion Master's side was the right choice.

The moment Ya Fei's voice fell, the crowd below erupted. Bidding immediately began, and some people even gambled their entire fortunes to obtain this piece of Ice Crystal Cold Jade.

"Three million Gold Coins!"

"I bid three million one hundred thousand! No one is allowed to compete with me!"

Han Feng clicked his tongue. These barbarians truly had no manners. Still, he was quite interested in this Ice Crystal Cold Jade as well, so he joined forces with the others to raise the bid.

"Four million Gold Coins."

The several Dou Huang experts standing beside Han Feng exchanged looks. In other words, each of them had to contribute one million to buy a Crystal Stone for the Medicine Emperor—and they would not even get it themselves.

But in order to obtain pills refined by the Medicine Emperor, they could only accept it unwillingly.

Besides, money was merely an external possession. Compared with their own strength, it was not worth mentioning.

"Hehe, since the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region has taken a liking to it, our Heavenly Serpent Mansion will not miss out either." Lü Man raised her hand and increased the bid. "Five million Gold Coins."

"Elder Lü Man, are you planning to make enemies of us?" Han Feng narrowed his eyes.

"Medicine Emperor, you exaggerate. The Ascending Heaven Pavilion Auction has always gone to the highest bidder. If the Medicine Emperor offers a higher price, then this sovereign naturally has nothing to say."

Hearing this, Han Feng's lips twitched. This woman truly was troublesome. "What a ridiculous excuse. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"Six million Gold Coins!"

Han Feng did not care about this money. To the experts of the Black-Corner Region, several million Gold Coins had no impact at all. Only if the price exceeded ten million would they perhaps consider whether it was worth taking.

"Six million two hundred thousand."

"Six million five hundred thousand!" Han Feng rose to his feet in fury. "Elder Lü Man, what exactly do you want at this point? Do you no longer wish to have pills refined?"

"In the entire Black-Corner Region, Han is the only alchemist. Without me, no one will be able to refine the pills you need."

Yet Elder Lü Man of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion did not care in the slightest about Han Feng's threat. Others might fear him, but that did not mean the Heavenly Serpent Mansion had to.

"My apologies, Medicine Emperor, but I have no interest in that."

Han Feng's face twitched, but he still forced a calm smile. "Elder Lü Man truly speaks bluntly. Then Han will stop beating around the bush. I want this Ice Crystal Cold Jade. As long as you yield it to me, no matter the condition, I will do my utmost to fulfill it."

Lü Man sneered. "Do you think I do not know what kind of person you, Han Feng, are? If your teacher, Venerable Yao, had made this proposal, I might truly consider it. But you? Hehehe, you are simply not enough."

"The Heavenly Serpent Mansion has stood upon the Dou Qi Continent for so many years not merely because of its reputation."

Hearing this, Han Feng could only continue raising the price. Could it be that with so many experts gathered here, they still could not contend with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?!

Wu Protector smiled, then spoke in a sinister voice, "Since you all are in such high spirits, I shall join in as well. This Ice Crystal Cold Jade is mine."

Han Feng's expression turned grave. He had not expected this man to be interested in the Ice Crystal Cold Jade as well. In that case, obtaining it at the Auction would not be so easy.

With his own capabilities, he likely could not contend against that faction at all. One careless move, and he might even lose his life!
