Chapter 233

The very first item up for auction was Profound Tier High Grade Dou Technique, which would be considered a treasure by countless lower- and middle-ranking forces.

This instantly ignited the passion for the auction.

But these things were meaningless to Yun Li. She simply sat in Xiao Yi Xian's lap, eating the desserts beside her, and watching these people keep raising the price.

A Profound Tier High Grade Dou Technique was auctioned off for three times the price it fetches on the market.

The first item was quickly snapped up, then the second, the third...

When she comes across suitable materials for forging swords, Yun Li will participate in the auction, but she will not bid too high. If the bid exceeds one and a half times the market price, she will simply give up.

As time went by, more and more items were auctioned off, but the enthusiasm of the participants seemed to have waned.

Yun Li acquired five sword-forging materials, and when she heard about a poison that even a Dou Huang would fear, she decisively bid for it for Little Fairy Doctor.

"The item you are about to auction is a bit unusual. According to the person who is bidding, it is related to the strange fire that Yaoshi dream of."

"If we clear it, we might be able to find an extremely rare and exotic flame."

"Our Seven Doors have confirmed that this map is genuine, but whether we can find that elusive Strange Flame depends entirely on luck."

"If we can find the strange fire, even if none of you are Yaoshi, our Medicine King should be quite interested and would certainly not mind helping to refine the pills you want."

"Therefore, the starting bid is 1.2 million gold coins!"

Yuan Yi had a maid bring out the box, and after opening it, he began to introduce the ancient map.

Although there is news of a strange fire, no one knows the specifics; it's a gamble.

More importantly, the map clues point to the Endless Desert, and even a Dou Huang would find it difficult to venture deep into the Endless Desert.

Therefore, it's hard to say exactly what price it will fetch...

"A strange fire? It's actually a clue to the legendary strange fire."

"But only Yaoshi would crave strange fire, right? For us, having strange fire just gives us more tricks up our sleeves. More importantly, if we're not Yaoshi and don't have enough soul power, we simply can't subdue strange fire."

"Although that's what they say, didn't you hear what the Seven Doors Master said? Don't forget our Black Twisting Domain Feng City's Medicine King. If we can really find the Strange Flame, it will undoubtedly make him owe us a huge favor."

"The Medicine King's favor is a huge temptation."

"Don't get your hopes up too high. If it were really that easy to find a strange fire, why wouldn't the person who owns it go there himself? Doesn't he care about the Medicine Emperor's favor? There's definitely something wrong with that."

"That's true, but it's just a clue. Whether the strange fire actually exists is still uncertain..."

Upon learning that the map contained clues about a different kind of fire, everyone's interest was immediately piqued. Even if they didn't use it themselves, they could still make the Medicine King owe them a favor.

Not only these people, but even Yun Li became serious. She never expected to find other maps about different flames here.

I wonder which strange flame it is?

This should be different from the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map fragment that Xiao Huohuo obtained in the future. The other party directly stated that this is a clue about a strange fire in the Endless Desert.

If it were replaced with a map fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, an ordinary person would have no chance of recognizing it.

"3 million!"

Soon someone made a bid, and it was 3 million gold coins right off the bat.

However, others were not to be outdone and began to bid. Even those who were not Yaoshi wanted to take a gamble, in case they found the real Strange Flame, the Medicine Emperor would definitely be very interested.

However, what these people didn't know was that their Medicine King wouldn't live for more than a few days.

Yun Li still had her eye on the strange fire within him, which she used to forge a sword.

"3.2 million!"

"4 million!"

"4.5 million!"

"8 million!"

Bidding continued, and finally Yun Li made her move, raising the price to a whopping 8 million gold coins. Keep in mind, this wasn't a real strange fire, just a map clue; whether she could even find it was another matter entirely.

They were just taking a gamble, and the bet actually went up to 8 million gold coins.

"What? 8 million? It's just a clue that's not even sure if it can be found, and it's sold for such a high price!"

"This is enough to buy fifth-grade or even some sixth-grade pills, right?"

"Be bold! A top-grade fourth-rank pill is only one million, and many seventh-rank pills are only about the same price!"

"Incomprehensible!"

When Yun Li made her bid, the other bidders stopped competing. It was just a clue to a strange fire, and such a high price was indeed beyond their expectations.

Moreover, the Seven Fans only guarantee that the map should contain treasure, but they don't guarantee the specifics!

"It's her again..."

Upon hearing Yun Li's voice, Fan Ling, who was in poor health, became even more gloomy and couldn't help but want to offer her a price to rip her off.

He knew perfectly well that this little girl was with that damned poisonous woman.

"Young Master, calm down! Don't forget our main purpose in coming here. If we don't get that thing, the Sect Master might..."

Upon seeing Fan Ling, he immediately wanted to make a bid, but Elder Mu appeared and quickly stopped him.

He had previously engaged in malicious competition with Yun Li, but he quickly suffered the consequences when Yun Li retaliated by making him spend a lot of money on things he didn't need.

Although they brought a lot of gold coins, with so many people competing for the Imperial Pill, if they didn't have enough gold coins, they would have no chance if they continued to spend them here.

Thinking of this, Fan Ling could only give up his malicious bidding with a gloomy face.

At the same time, he felt his body growing weaker and weaker, clearly indicating he had been poisoned. However, he couldn't pinpoint the source...

Although he didn't know when he was affected, he didn't think much of it and immediately suspected Little Fairy Doctor.

However, for now, we can only suppress it with antidote pills and fighting spirit. We can only wait until the auction is over and have my father come and help us solve the problem.

Feeling the discomfort and pain from the poisoning, Fan Ling couldn't help but slam his fist on the table, determined to make that woman suffer a terrible death.

As long as it comes from my father...

"8 million, is there a higher price?"

"8 million per time."

"8 million twice."

"8 million three times, congratulations to our distinguished guest for winning the map."

Yuan Yi's voice noticeably quickened; after all, while others were unaware of Yun Li's strength, he had personally experienced it firsthand.

The only thing you can do is try your best to please such an important person!

Moreover, eight million is already a very high price. This map is just a relevant clue. As for whether we can find the strange fire, it's hard to say.

And it was in a place like Endless Desert.

"Strangeness."

Yuan Yi's reaction caught the attention of many Dou Huang powerhouses. It was clearly a bit ingratiating, which made people somewhat puzzled.

He was a powerful Dou Huang, a renowned figure throughout the entire Black Twisting Domain, and a top expert on the Black List.

How could they treat a little girl like that?

There must be something they don't know about, which has drawn more attention to Yun Li and Little Fairy Doctor.

After the auction was over, the maid left with the map, and then another maid came up carrying a carefully wrapped box.

"The next item, while not the real grand finale, is pretty close! I believe many people came here for it."

Looking at the box beside him, Yuan Yi also became extremely serious, if only he could produce what the other person wanted.

He wanted to take it down directly.

After all, this thing is just too attractive to a Douhuang powerhouse.

He had originally considered it the grand finale of the auction, but after acquiring Yun Li's divine Divine Weapon, even the Imperial Pill was no longer worthy of being ranked among the lower treasures.

The value of the Divine Weapon that follow far surpasses that of the Imperial Pill.

After saying that, Yuan Yi opened the box directly.

The next second, a rich fragrance of pills wafted out, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present, especially those Dou Huang powerhouses who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines!

"This treasure is none other than the top-grade sixth-rank pill, the Imperial Pill!"

"I don't need to elaborate on the effects of the Imperial Pill, right? This is a pill specifically designed for Dou Huang level experts. After taking the Imperial Pill, a Dou Huang level expert can be raised to one to two stars in a relatively short period of time."

"In addition to improving strength level, the Imperial Pill has another additional effect, which is to strengthen the meridians and refine the bones."

"After taking the Imperial Pill, the residual medicinal power after enhancing strength can also help the person who took it to strengthen their body once more."

The so-called enhancement is not just about improving physical skills; it also increases one's overall combat power.

Yuan Yi explained the abilities of the pills, causing all the Dou Huang powerhouses to stand up, eager to grab them immediately.

However, they managed to restrain themselves...

It's not a good idea to make a move here; it would break the rules of the entire Black Twisting Domain. We should at least wait until we leave the city.

So even if you manage to buy this pill, it's not certain whether you have the strength to take it away!

"This is the legendary Imperial Pill, something that even Dou Huang powerhouses dream of!"

"But even the Imperial Pill isn't the grand prize. What are these Seven Doors up to? Could it be that they have an even better treasure than the Imperial Pill?"

The Imperial Pill was finally obtained, but it wasn't the real grand prize, which was something many people didn't expect.

They simply couldn't imagine anything more precious than the Imperial Pill.

However, most of the top forces came for the Imperial Pill, and even if it wasn't the ultimate treasure, they wouldn't give it up.

Especially for those few Dou Huangs who are eager to improve their strength, they haven't made any further progress in a long time. With the Imperial Pill, they can take another step forward.

P. S.: I feel so awful!

If I want to get my wisdom teeth extracted, I have to let the pulpitis heal first, and I don't know how long I'll be in pain.

Both of my wisdom teeth were decayed, and I haven't been able to sleep for several nights due to the pain. I heard that it will still hurt after they're extracted, so I live in fear every day.

Chapter 30 Yama Sword.

"Interesting, this isn't even the grand finale treasure!"

Su Mei stared intently at the Imperial Pill in front of her, wishing she could get it immediately.

Her current strength is at the fourth level of Douhuang. If she obtains the Imperial Pill, she can advance further and break through to the sixth or seventh level.

You should know that once you reach the Douhuang level, it takes several years or even longer to break through to the next level. Now, you can advance two stars in one go without any hard work. Any Douhuang expert would be envious.

More importantly, her increased strength will allow her to advance further on the Black List, and her influence will expand considerably once again.

This is definitely a double boost in both strength and influence.

However, she was also curious about what kind of item would replace the Imperial Pill as the Imperial Pill finale and the last item up for auction.

Many people, including Su Mei, originally planned to take the Imperial Pill and leave immediately, then go into seclusion to improve their strength.

But now they've all changed their minds.

"Please don't rush, everyone. The person who bids for the Imperial Pill doesn't need gold coins, so it won't be conducted as a normal auction!"

"Instead, it's about who can bring out these items and step forward to make a deal."

Seeing the tense atmosphere and that many Dou Huangs could not control their auras, Yuan Yi quickly explained the auction method for the Imperial Pill.

"Sect Master Yuan, what exactly is this thing that even your Seven Doors can't produce?"

Upon hearing that the auction would not be conducted in gold coins, the representatives from various powerful factions who had prepared large sums of gold coins all frowned; this was not good news.

Moreover, they may not possess what the Seven Doors members don't, which puts them in a very passive position.

"Anyone who possesses the Mystic Dragon Heart Grass, the Thunder Branch Flood Dragon Source, etc., can trade with it."

Yuan Yi mentioned many Spiritual medicine, but they were all extremely Spiritual medicine, and there weren't many of them even in the entire Dou Huo Continent.
