The Fiercely Contested Nine Netherworld Wind Flame
The atmosphere at the trade fair was quiet for a moment, then suddenly, an aged voice rang out.
The Pill Tower Grand Elder spoke up, "Since that's the case, then I'll start by offering a price."
"Two Eighth Grade Pill made of Seven-Colored Pill Lightning!"
The crowd couldn't help but marvel at the Grand Elder's generosity; as expected of the Pill Tower, their pills were truly abundant.
"You dare to show off such a small amount of stuff?" Yao Wangui couldn't stand it anymore; someone actually dared to compete with their Yao Clan in terms of pills.
"An Eighth Grade Pill with Eight-Colored Pill Lightning."
The price has increased significantly again.
The host, Kong Yi, smiled. He had made a fortune this time. Judging from the eager looks of the various forces and powerful figures, they had clearly not yet met the other party's expectations.
Sure enough, another voice soon rang out, and Elder Gu Qingya of the Gu Clan called out a bid:
"Two Eighth Grade Pill made of Eight-Colored Pill Lightning Thunder!"
Xiao Han was also about to step forward and participate when he said with a smile, "This Saint doesn't have that many high-grade pills."
Everyone is waiting for what happens next.
"So..."
"I, this Saint, will take out a Heaven Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques!"
The value of Heaven Tier Dou Technique is much higher than that of a high-grade pill, at least equivalent to an Eighth Grade Pill of Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.
"Oh? Pavilion Master Su, that's a bit petty!" Hun Miesheng said sarcastically.
"Are the top ten Exotic Fire only worth a single Heaven Tier Dou Technique?"
"This Hall Master offers two Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth Grade Pill."
Next, many powerful figures made a bid, but seeing how reluctant the other party was to raise the price, they all understood that they had become mere spectators.
"My Pill Tower has produced five Grade 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth Grade Pill!" The Pill Tower Grand Elder's expression remained calm and composed.
When it comes to elixirs, they have never been afraid of anyone.
"Hmph!" Yao Wangui sneered, "My Yao Clan offers a Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!"
This immediately wiped out a large number of people; even for Dou Sheng, the price of Ninth Grade Pill is not low.
Xiao Han spoke up, "This Saint offers one scroll of Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques."
The atmosphere on the field froze. Heaven Tier Dou Technique are extremely rare, let alone Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques, which are much rarer than Ninth Grade Pill among Ancient Races.
"Hehehe~" Gu Qingya chuckled, "It seems the Ice Saint is very confident. Then my Gu Clan will withdraw this time."
Just kidding, Gu Qingya wasn't like the Ice Saint, a rogue cultivator who started out without any sect or faction and whose everything was his own.
In all his years of life, he has only cultivated one Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques, which is an exclusive Dou Techniques of the Gu Clan and he has no right to trade it away.
There are a few Heaven Rank Low-Level items, but their value is far inferior.
As for competing with pills, Gu Qingya gave up. Looking at the two major pill-producing families opposite him, he knew that although his Gu Clan had a stockpile, they didn't play the game like that.
Although the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame is precious, it's not absolutely necessary. It's better to play it safe and observe whether there's an opportunity later.
"I, the Hall Master, also give up." Although he was unhappy, Hun Miesheng did not continue, as it would be a losing proposition.
"Three Grade Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!"
The Pill Tower Grand Elder looked rather grim. The price was already beyond their Pill Tower's means; it wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but rather that it would be a losing proposition.
Yao Wangui glanced at the Grand Elder and said disdainfully, "What's wrong? Can't handle it anymore?"
"Five Grade Ninth Grade Treasure Pill!"
Yao Wangui also found the price of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame somewhat unacceptable, but he had received a firm order from his clan that the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame could only belong to their Yao Clan.
Therefore, he directly quoted what he considered to be an extremely high price.
Xiao Han's face was ashen. This price was practically a death sentence! The Dou Sheng Expert he had robbed back then had only this much wealth.
However, Xiao Han nonchalantly replied, "A mid- Heaven Rank Middle Grade Dou Techniques plus a perfectly preserved corpse of Dou Sheng Expert!"
Now is the time for Xiao Han to truly reveal his secrets.
"The remains of Dou Sheng?" Everyone present was shocked.
After carefully recalling the news about his own Dou Sheng Expert, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. They were all there! Only Hun Miesheng remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.
Xiao Han knew exactly what they were thinking, and rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, I got this Dou Sheng's corpse from Hun Miesheng back then."
Boom!
Soul Extinction remained expressionless, but the armrests on his seat had turned to dust.
Seeing Hun Miesheng's reaction, many powerful figures who originally wanted to make a few jokes with him withdrew their words and continued to watch the show, but they could not suppress the mockery in their eyes.
Yao Wangui's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Damn it, how come this Ice Saint is so rich?
But Yao Wangui had no intention of giving up. He steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "One... one Half-Step Mysterious Pill!"
Everyone on the field gasped in unison. Although the Half-Step Mysterious Pill was not as good as a true Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, it was still far superior to ordinary Treasure Pill. The pill itself was already at the peak of the first star level, close to the level of a Two-Star Dou Sheng.
Now, the price offered has far exceeded the value of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame. Xiao Han offered the price simply because it could nurture a genius junior or a top-notch Alchemist prospect, and he was willing to spend a lot of money for it.
Yao Wangui, or rather the Yao Clan behind him, cares more about the symbolic meaning of the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame. Just as they claimed at the time, the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame can only belong to their Yao Clan.
Therefore, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be a sucker.
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly and raised a finger again. "This Saint... offers a Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill Pill Formula."
"If you can offer a higher price, then I will accept it!"
Xiao Han felt a pang of pain in his heart. The Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill Pill Formula was given to him by Yi Huang before she left. It was something that Yi Huang had accidentally copied and left for Xiao Han as a treasured possession.
Even though the latter has now advanced to the Ninth Grade Alchemist and his Soul Strength has reached the Heaven Realm Late Stage, it still took him nearly half a year to create this pill formula. All for just one Nine Netherworld Wind Flame!
Yao Wangui's lips twitched. You actually prepared a Mysterious Pill formula. What could he do? He had it, but he absolutely couldn't take it out.
Just as Yao Wangui was preparing to give up...
Kong Yi stopped them. "Excuse me, gentlemen, the trader from the Nine Netherworld Wind Flame just told me that he does not accept transactions involving pill formulas."
"You won't accept it?" Xiao Han's eyes narrowed slightly. "Give me a reason?"
Kong Yi immediately looked troubled. "Pavilion Master Su, as you know, our Space Trading Fair is only responsible for reporting the client's requirements. We can't explain too much, as that would break the rules."
Xiao Han did not make things difficult for Kong Yi, nor was he prepared to defeat everyone.
"Then I, the Saint, will also give up!" Xiao Han said, sounding somewhat unwilling.
"Is there anyone else who can offer a higher price?" Kong Yi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was no trouble, he continued with the process.
After waiting for a while, no one responded, which clearly indicated that the result had been achieved.
"Alright." Kong Yi smiled. "In that case, congratulations to Elder Yao Wangui for obtaining this Nine Netherworld Wind Flame."
Upon hearing this, Yao Wangui couldn't help but get excited. He was about to reach for the jade Jade Box in front of Kong Yi when he was startled by the aura of the others.
"Here." Gritting his teeth, he took out a special vessel, opened it, and a rich fragrance of elixir filled the entire venue. He then directed it towards Kong Yi.
"Then please keep it safe." Kong Yi checked it and found nothing wrong. A hint of greed appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. As an old hand, he naturally knew what to take and what to let go of.
"Alright, now Nine Netherworld Wind Flame has found its buyer."
Just when everyone else thought Kong Yi was about to announce the end of the Space Trading Fair, Xiao Han was planning to trip him up halfway through.
Kong Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Next, let's look at the last item in this auction."
Upon hearing this, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence, and the group of Dou Sheng who were preparing to leave all had their eyes gleaming.
"The last item up for auction?"
