World-Famous, Sky-High Auction

Di Tian spoke slowly, pausing again before saying, "The third point is somewhat off-topic. I'd like to take this opportunity to promote Dragon Phoenix Hall."

"Dragon Phoenix Hall primarily deals in pills and forging. At present, we mainly sell two kinds of pills: Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills."

"The former can raise a soul master's Innate Soul Power by one level. It is effective for children between the ages of six and twelve."

"There is no limit to this increase in Innate Soul Power. If your Innate Soul Power is level nine, it can raise your aptitude to Innate Full Soul Power."

"Breakthrough Pills allow soul masters below the Soul Ancestor rank to break through immediately without any side effects. Even at a major bottleneck, taking several pills can break it."

"Dragon Phoenix Hall's headquarters is located on Bright Moon Street, southwest of Sun Moon Royal Academy. Once you get there, you'll easily spot Dragon Phoenix Hall."

"Medicine King Pavilion, where the pills are sold, is on the second floor. The shop opened today, so anyone in need may go there to make a purchase."

"Oh, and to celebrate this opening, we have prepared top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills. Their effects are more than double those of ordinary pills, and only three hundred of each will be available."

"At the same time, our pill refiners can also produce One Year Longevity Pills. Ten are currently available for sale at Medicine King Pavilion, so those who need them may take a look as well."

These ten One Year Longevity Pills had all been refined by Bi Ji over the past few days. She was becoming increasingly proficient at refining this pill.

Gasps rang out continuously. Di Tian's words caused quite a stir. Many people were stunned by the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pills and Breakthrough Pills, especially the former, which could actually raise a person's Innate Soul Power to the level of Full Soul Power. That was simply too incredible. Although level nine and level ten were only one level apart, the actual gap was definitely greater than that. The latter possessed far superior talent. This pill effectively gave soul masters with level-nine Innate Soul Power a chance to become those with Innate Full Soul Power, raising their talent to another level. The appearance of this pill carried extraordinary significance for the entire soul master world and would promote an overall increase in cultivation. No wonder they were so shocked. Previously, these two kinds of pills at Medicine King Pavilion in Star Moon City had not been heavily promoted, and because the success rate for refining them was low, few had been sold. Thus, they had not caused much of a commotion. But now that they had been announced before more than a billion viewers in the livestream, the sensation they caused was easy to imagine. In less than a day, news of these pills would likely become known to everyone. As for whether the pills were genuine, no one doubted it much. If the Hundred Year Longevity Pill was real, how could these pills be fake? Nor did anyone overlook the One Year Longevity Pill. "May I ask, Lord Yun Tian, can these Foundation Establishment Pills be taken multiple times?" someone boldly stood up and asked respectfully. "At most, two pills may be taken. The first provides the full effect, while the second only provides about one-third of the effect. A third pill will have little effect," Di Tian said. Though the answer was somewhat disappointing, it was still understandable and acceptable. Being able to take two pills was already very good.

If they could be taken without limit, wouldn't everyone be able to become someone with Innate Full Soul Power? That was clearly unrealistic.

"Then what about these One Year Longevity Pills?" the elderly man who had stood up continued asking.

"They are pills that extend one's lifespan by a year. It should be noted that this one-year extension applies to soul masters at the Titled Douluo level."

"If soul masters below the Titled Douluo level take them, their lifespan will be extended by more. Ordinary people will receive the greatest extension, estimated at four to five years."

"The Hundred Year Longevity Pill works the same way. When taken by ordinary people, it can extend their lifespan by roughly five to six hundred years at most."

"It is only recommended to take two One Year Longevity Pills. A maximum of three Hundred Year Longevity Pills may be taken; beyond that, they will have little effect," Di Tian said. Upon hearing this, the ordinary people present grew excited. The words five to six hundred years echoed repeatedly in their ears, making it impossible for them to remain calm. Di Tian's explanation further strengthened the resolve of the ordinary bidders to compete. This was a lifespan of five to six hundred years. The livestream had also erupted into chaos, as the effects of these pills ignited everyone's emotions and left them unable to contain their excitement. In Mingdu, quick-witted people were already rushing frantically toward Dragon Phoenix Hall to buy pills. Many academy students under the age of twelve at Sun Moon Royal Academy even skipped class and ran madly toward Dragon Phoenix Hall. Their target was the Foundation Establishment Pill. Everyone hoped to buy a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. Who could resist the temptation of raising their Innate Soul Power by more than two levels? "That's all I have to say. It's almost four o'clock, so it's time to begin today's auction," Di Tian said, with no intention of continuing. There was actually nothing special to explain about the forging shop. So long as these people went to Medicine King Pavilion to buy pills, they would certainly pass through the forging shop and naturally notice the finished metal products on display.

That was also why the forging shop had been set up on the first floor. The purpose was to use Medicine King Pavilion to draw customers to the forging shop.

With a wave of his hand, a Jade Bottle appeared before him and hovered in midair. Di Tian removed the stopper, and a pill fragrance instantly spread through the air. The moment the jade bottle appeared, it drew everyone's attention. As they looked at it, many people began breathing rapidly, their hearts pounding faster. Too much pill fragrance had accumulated within the bottle, so when the stopper was removed, the vapor was dense enough to be visible to the naked eye. Pale brown mist drifted through the hall. "Ah... that feels good!" Contented moans sounded one after another. Upon smelling the pill fragrance, the pores of both soul masters and ordinary people opened all over their bodies. Their cells greedily and instinctively absorbed the pill aura, becoming extraordinarily active. The pleasant sensation that came from every part of their bodies made them unable to stop themselves from crying out. At this point, no one cared about appearances anymore. They sniffed desperately, trying to absorb as much of the pill fragrance as possible. The people in the private rooms could not smell the fragrance, but they could tell a great deal from the reactions of those in the VIP seats.

Di Tian left the bottle open for fifteen seconds before replacing the stopper. The pill fragrance became faint, and everyone reluctantly settled back into their seats. "Begin," Di Tian said, placing the Jade Bottle atop the metal pillar in the center of the auction platform. The lights converged upon it, while the Soul Guidance Screen behind it displayed a three-dimensional image of the bottle. He did not leave the auction platform, instead standing to one side with his hands clasped behind his back. Wan Wan bowed to Di Tian, then faced the VIP seats. "The starting bid for the pill is one billion Federal Currency. Each increase must be no less than one hundred million Federal Currency."

"I now announce that bidding for the first Hundred Year Longevity Pill has officially begun. Esteemed guests, please place your bids."

A chime rang out, and a line of text appeared on the enormous Soul Guidance Screen: VIP Seat Number Fifty-Five had bid 1.1 billion. There was a button beside each bidder's seat. Pressing it once placed the minimum bid. The seats of bidders' friends and attendants did not have auction buttons. Numbers one through one hundred represented the order of the bidders, while bids from those in private rooms would receive special displays. "VIP Number Fifty-Five has bid 1.1 billion." Wan Wan pointed toward Seat Number Fifty-Five. She was extremely familiar with the layout here and could point out the location of every number even with her eyes closed.
