The Space Auction Runs Wild
Exhilarating bids rang out, creating an incredibly heated atmosphere despite everyone being dressed in black robes to conceal their presence.
The auction price rose rapidly under the smiling eyes of the Old Man Baoshan. Everyone knew that the value of a fragment of Fragmented Map was not high, but they were all full of expectations, believing that they had a chance to find the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and then become invincible in the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, they bid one after another.
Just ten minutes later, the level of the Fragmented Map was raised to the Eighth Grade Pill of five Eight-Color Pill Lightnings.
"A Pill Beast with Nine-Color Pill Lightning."
A slightly hoarse voice rang out, and everyone frowned. This price had exceeded their mental limit.
But Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. With his excellent Soul Realm, he sensed a familiar aura from the person making the offer—it was the aura of Soul Hall Master Hun Miesheng.
Hun Miesheng also sensed Xiao Yan's presence, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. He just wanted to end the auction as soon as possible, then track down the Soul Imprint left on the Pill Beast and report to the Soul Clan.
Instead of robbing him, he honestly paid for it without trying to steal it... Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he was about to speak when he heard another person say mockingly, "Two!"
Xiao Yan looked over, and the man immediately noticed, nodding to Xiao Yan. He was a powerful figure from a Gu Clan.
Ancient Race all knew where the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was, and even knew when it would erupt, so they didn't need any Fragmented Map Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. However, the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan knew the secret of the Fragmented Map, so they naturally stepped in to fight for it.
A ruthless glint flashed in Hun Miesheng's eyes. This Gu Clan's Dou Sheng was only a four-star, while his true strength was five-star. With the help of the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-flame, he could probably kill him in one move.
But if they fail to kill him instantly and leave him alive, that would be troublesome. The Gu Clan and the Soul Clan would definitely start fighting again and the conflict would escalate.
Thinking of the Hun Tiandi's order for the Soul Clan to temporarily conceal their strength and prepare to unite with other Ancient Race to annihilate the Gu Clan, Hun Miesheng could only temporarily suppress the fierce light in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Two Pill Beast with Nine-Color Pill Lightning, plus five Eighth Grade Pills with Eight-Color Pill Lightning."
"Heh, when did the Soul Clan become so stingy?" The Gu Clan's Dou Sheng scoffed, then offered, "Three Pill Beast!"
A murmur of discussion immediately arose in the main hall, with many speculating that the two were from the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan, respectively, and that they might have already collected some of the Fragmented Map, which was why they were so interested.
But the Old Man Baoshan who was presiding over the auction could no longer smile, and there was even a slight sweat on his forehead.
These two are both true Dou Sheng Expert!
Old Man Baoshan is merely Eight-Revolution Nine-star Dou Zun. If these two Dou Sheng were to fight, a mere aftershock would be enough to kill him, let alone those in the main hall whose cultivation levels are even lower than his!
If these two get carried away, the Space Auction will inevitably face major changes, and the reputation built up over the years will be completely ruined!
Old Man Baoshan has already sought help from the Dou Sheng within the sect, but even the combined forces of the three organizations jointly hosting the Space Auction cannot subdue either of these two individuals, leaving Old Man Baoshan with no choice but to continue maintaining the auction.
Old Man Baoshan immediately spoke up, "Three Pill Beast, is there anyone willing to bid higher? If not..."
"Four!" Hun Miesheng stared at the Old Man Baoshan, his voice icy, making the old man feel as if he had fallen into Endless Abyss.
"Five!" The Gu Clan's Dou Sheng immediately followed.
Hun Miesheng exuded a dangerous aura. He wanted to snatch the Fragmented Map and leave, but the Soul Hall had been suddenly destroyed for some unknown reason, and he couldn't afford to cause trouble now.
Taking a deep breath, Hun Miesheng's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of a plan. He then slowly extended his palm, and a burst of black flame suddenly emerged from his palm.
As soon as the flame appeared, the space where the Trading Fair was located immediately became unstable, and the energy contained within it was gathered under the strange Devouring Power emanating from the black flame.
The Gu Clan's Dou Sheng's expression hardened, and he was about to crush the Space Jade Slip to call for help, but Hun Miesheng retracted the black flames into his body and said in a deep voice:
"This is the second-ranked Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame, possessing extremely terrifying Devouring Power. Although it is only a Sub-flame, Lord Nihility Devouring Flame is a peak Nine-star Dou Sheng expert, so even as a Sub-flame, its power surpasses that of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame."
"Moreover, the Nihility Devouring Flame devours everything and is very easy to cultivate. As long as there is a portion of its original power, it can cultivate a new Sub-flame."
"I am willing to part with a portion of my essence to purchase the fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Fragmented Map."
The crowd erupted in another uproar, never expecting that the Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, would appear.
That terrifying Devouring Power —if you obtain a wisp of Sub-flame, the difficulty of breaking through to the Dou Sheng will be greatly reduced!
Compared to the Fragmented Map related to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, the Child Flame of Nihility Devouring Flame is naturally more tempting. Even as Sub-flame, with the investment of resources for cultivation, it may not be impossible to cultivate it into a true Nihility Devouring Flame!
Feeling the intense gazes from many, Hun Miesheng merely snorted coldly, causing these Dou Zun, whose minds were almost clouded by greed, to lower their heads and no longer dare to stare directly at him.
"I'll offer a Grade Ninth-grade Treasure Pill!"
Before Old Man Baoshan could make a decision, the Gu Clan Dou Sheng immediately interrupted with a shout, causing another uproar.
That's Ninth Grade Pill! These people who've never seen anything like it have ever encountered such a scene.
The Old Man Baoshan hesitated for a moment, then wiped the sweat from his face and said, "I'm not sure about its exact value. Please wait a moment while I go ask the owner of the Fragmented Map."
"As far as I know, the Soul Hall has Secret Technique to enhance one's strength. As for the consequences... well, those who know, know."
A muffled voice came, and Hun Miesheng's expression immediately changed. Then his eyes turned fierce. He couldn't find the owner of the voice for a moment. Who else could it be but the Dou Sheng of the Gu Clan?
"Who doesn't know that your Gu Clan is reluctant to even use Heavenly Tier Dou Technique? I don't believe you'd be willing to use Ninth-grade Treasure Pill to buy Fragmented Map! With your strength, how could the organizers possibly discover the means by leaving Dou Qi Imprint and Soul Imprint?"
Hun Miesheng immediately retaliated, leaving the Gu Clan's Dou Sheng somewhat bewildered and causing the Old Man Baoshan to break out in a cold sweat again.
However, this did not prevent the Gu Clan's Dou Sheng from retaliating. He immediately began to expose the Soul Hall's secrets. As everyone knows, the Soul Hall has always been the villain, and there were many Alchemist present. Hun Miesheng was naturally put at a disadvantage from the start.
Old Man Baoshan forced a smile. According to his duty, he should have shouted "Silence!" or something similar to maintain order, but seeing the two Dou Sheng Expert exchanging barbs and the terrifying aura emanating from them from time to time, Old Man Baoshan didn't dare to say a word.
