"Medicine God Hall bids five hundred Soul Crystals!"
Yao Feng spoke again.
The moment those words fell.
The auction hall instantly sank into silence.
Soul Crystals were the supreme currency of the Soul Master Continent.
One Soul Crystal was worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Five hundred Soul Crystals meant five million Gold Soul Coins.
Yao Feng alone had raised the price of this pill to such a staggering level.
However, when they considered that he was bidding not in his own name, but in the name of the entire Medicine God Hall, everyone understood.
On the continent, if one spoke of who was the wealthiest in plain sight, aside from the Empire, Medicine God Hall was undoubtedly the richest.
Medicine God Hall had gathered nearly the continent's finest Alchemists.
Any one of them could come out, and their alchemy skills would not be inferior to Shangguan Xiu's.
And Shangguan Que, founded by Shangguan Xiu alone, was already enough to nearly monopolize the pill trade throughout the Land of Barbarian Martial Hundred Cities.
One could imagine just how wealthy Medicine God Hall truly was on the continent.
"Heavenly Star Academy bids five million two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Blade Sect bids five million five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Glazed Sect bids five million eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Begonia Pavilion bids six million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Medicine God Hall bids one thousand Soul Crystals!"
Yao Feng spoke once more, raising the price by several million Gold Soul Coins in one stroke.
At this point, everyone could tell that Medicine God Hall was determined to obtain it.
For a time, the Glazed Sect and Begonia Pavilion, who had been participating in the bidding, did not continue raising their offers.
Though they ranked among the ten top powers of the Eastern Martial Region, they were still far too inferior to Medicine God Hall.
The enormous gap in wealth, coupled with Medicine God Hall's determination, made them understand that no matter how they bid, they could not outcompete Medicine God Hall. They might as well stop now.
Dao Yuan of the Blade Sect stared at the pill. Though his heart was filled with boundless longing, he could only suppress it.
He also understood that since Medicine God Hall had shown such determination, this pill was no longer fated to be his.
Only Heavenly Star Academy was still participating in the bidding.
"Heavenly Star Academy bids one thousand two hundred Soul Crystals!"
The price had already reached ten million Gold Soul Coins, and few powers kept such a large quantity of Gold Soul Coins in reserve.
Thus, Heavenly Star Academy had also begun using Soul Crystals to bid.
One was Medicine God Hall, the continent's sacred land of alchemy.
The other was the continent's top academy, the foremost force among the Middle Seven Sects.
Now, only these two powers remained in contention.
Everyone watched quietly, waiting to see who would ultimately win the pill.
"One thousand two hundred Soul Crystals... Even after my sect's inheritance of several hundred years, we do not have much more in reserve than that!"
A major power from the Eastern Martial Region spoke. This great power had nearly ten Title Douluo and had been passed down for over three hundred years.
Yet now, they could only sigh in amazement.
Judging by the situation, Heavenly Star Academy and Medicine God Hall were still quite casual. Clearly, neither had reached its limit.
The Glazed Sect was known as the wealthiest power in the Eastern Martial Region, but even Nie Rongrong, the little princess of the Glazed Sect, understood that the title of richest power had nothing to do with her sect.
The true wealthiest power in the Eastern Martial Region was Heavenly Star Academy.
Thinking about it, that made sense. Heavenly Star Academy had a long legacy and had nurtured one powerful expert after another.
To repay the academy, these experts would return after becoming powerful and provide it with resources and wealth.
With that, it was easy to understand how Heavenly Star Academy had accumulated such immense resources and riches.
Lin Shu sat on the fourth floor, watching the auction below turn so frenzied, and could not help but sigh.
"With these one thousand two hundred Soul Crystals, buying other pills would be enough to raise Soul Power by one grade—even for a Super Douluo!"
There were no pills on the continent capable of raising a Super Douluo's Soul Power by an entire grade.
However, there were pills that could raise it by a fraction. As long as one bought enough, they could pile up enough to gain one grade.
Buying dozens or even a hundred pills would probably be enough to raise a Super Douluo's Soul Power by one grade.
It seemed these two powers were not merely trying to buy it to improve a Super Douluo's strength.
"Heh, they must be planning to figure it out and refine it themselves!"
Lin Shu quickly guessed their intentions.
"Still, this is a system-produced item. How could it possibly be so easy to figure out?"
Lin Shu shook his head and did not bother with what they intended.
Even if they truly managed to figure it out.
Lin Shu would not care.
The items his auction house would sell in the future were countless times more precious than this.
Just now, he had drawn three Unlimited Soul Power Pills from the lottery.
He also had two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul bones.
As well as a Ninth-Grade Soul Tool.
Every one of these was enough to show the value of that Unlimited Grade 1 Soul Power Pill, and they were even more valuable.
Even if the Unlimited Grade 1 Soul Power Pill were figured out, Lin Shu had plenty of other precious auction items to sell.
Lin Shu wanted to see just how high they could bid in the end.
No longer paying attention to the contest between Medicine God Hall and Heavenly Star Academy, Lin Shu turned his mind to the system and chose to continue drawing.
After this auction ended, it would be time to head for the Central Martial Region.
Though the Eastern Martial Region still had several major powers.
Aside from human powers, there were also Soul Beast powers and some hidden forces.
But no matter what, the Central Martial Region was the center of the continent. Holding an auction there would mean facing the entire continent.
It was not something the powers of the Eastern Martial Region alone could compare to.
Since he was going to the Central Martial Region, the first thing he needed to deal with was Langya Hall.
This power had long been marked for death by Lin Shu.
As it happened, Lin Shu had also set his sights on Langya Prefecture, where Langya Hall was located. It could serve as the location of Langya Auction House's headquarters.
If that was the case, he needed to improve his strength.
Though he had three hundred Title Douluo under his command.
Once they went to war with Langya Hall, Lin Shu could not be certain whether powerful enemies would launch a sneak attack from the shadows.
With his current strength, he definitely could not withstand a powerful enemy's hidden attack.
Though there were people protecting him, sneak attacks were impossible to guard against. He still needed something to preserve his life.
If he had a Soul Tool like the Golden Bell Shield, one of Ninth Grade that could withstand a Title Douluo's attacks for a while, his life would be more secure.
"System, I want to continue drawing!"
"This time, I'll draw ninety times at once. I have to get that guaranteed divine-grade item!"
Previously, Lin Shu had drawn ten times.
His current chance of drawing a divine-grade item was one percent, and one divine-grade item was guaranteed every hundred draws.
If he got the guaranteed divine-grade item, and it happened to be a protective treasure, he could head to the Central Martial Region without any worries.
Even if not, ninety draws meant a guarantee every ten draws, giving him forty-five Ninth-Grade treasures in ninety draws.
Lin Shu refused to believe that there would not be a protective Ninth-Grade treasure among them.
Then, even if his subordinates were fighting and neglected to protect him, Lin Shu would have the ability to briefly protect himself against a Title Douluo.
"Ding! Is the Host willing to spend forty-five thousand Auction Points to draw?"
"Yes—"
"Wait!"
Lin Shu suddenly noticed that the auction below had ended, and he immediately shook his head.
The auction ending meant that he would receive a large sum of Auction Points.
He could greatly increase his drawing odds.
By then, a hundred draws would guarantee two divine-grade items, perhaps even three.
Besides, there was no need to rush the drawing for these few minutes!
Lin Shu turned his gaze toward the auction hall.
Yao Feng of Medicine God Hall had ultimately won the Unlimited Grade 1 Soul Power Pill for one thousand five hundred Soul Crystals!
