Heaven-Breaking Pill

On the third floor, in the No. 1 private room.

Looking at the Sword Intent Pill he had finally won, Lu Xinghan showed no joy on his face, but instead a sinister anger rose up.

He turned his head abruptly and ordered the guard beside him:

"Go! Find out for me who's sitting in room number twelve on the second floor! They made me waste hundreds of thousands!"

"Yes!" A guard accepted the order and left.

Despite being the crown prince, Lu Xinghan may seem to have no shortage of resources, but in the royal family, all cultivation resources must be earned through one's own abilities.

Ordinary items are fine, but he will personally compete for pills that are crucial for breakthroughs, such as Barrier-Breaking Pill and Sword Intent Pill.

Not long after all the Sword Intent Pill were sold, a maidservant came to room number twelve carrying a jade bottle.

Lu Shuang took the jade bottle, carefully examined it, and after confirming that the pill was intact, she was about to take out the Origin Crystal to pay when she saw Lu Feng hand a bulging storage bag to the maid first.

"Lu Feng, how can I let you pay!" Lu Shuang exclaimed anxiously, immediately taking out her storage bag full of Origin Crystal. "Here are 800,000 Low-Grade Origin Crystal!"

"I bid for the Sword Intent Pill, so naturally I should pay for it. Just accept it without worry."

"Besides, what if I need Sword Intent Pill myself if I enter the Myriad Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm?"

"That won't do! I've already accepted the Barrier-Breaking Pill, how can I possibly accept this one too!"

"Between you and me, is there any need for formalities?" Lu Feng said casually.

He now has nearly ten million Low-Grade Origin Crystal in his pocket, so this amount of money really didn't bother him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking!

Lu Shuang, who was standing to the side, suddenly blushed, lowered her head, and asked timidly and softly:

"What... what's our relationship?"

Lu Feng: "..."

Seeing Lu Shuang's shy and timid appearance, he immediately realized that his words had been ambiguous and hurriedly explained:

"Miss Lu, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant!"

"So what do you mean?"

I didn't mean anything by it?

"Snort!"

Lu Shuang snorted, turned her head away, snatched the Origin Crystal back, sat down to the side, and ignored him.

For a moment, the room fell silent, with only the sound of Feng Sanniang's gavel falling one after another on the auction stage outside.

The pills, refining materials, and medicinal herbs needed by Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster... passed through his hands one by one like flowing water.

One hour later.

"Distinguished guests!" On the stage, Feng Sanniang's voice suddenly paused, then rose, carrying an unprecedented solemnity, "Next up are the final three treasures of this auction!"

The lobby on the first floor fell silent in an instant.

They knew they couldn't afford these things.

Even so, who wouldn't want to broaden their horizons and see what a treasure of this caliber actually looks like?

"Now, please welcome the first and final item!"

Feng Sanniang raised her hand and lifted the red silk on the tray.

"Low-Grade Spirit Artifact, Blood Bodhi Prayer Beads!"

"What?! Spirit Artifact?!"

"How many years has it been since we've seen Spirit Artifact at the Imperial City's auctions?!"

"There really is Spirit Artifact? There wasn't a single word about it beforehand!"

"What's the point of whether it's see-through or not? It's not like telling you in advance would make you think you can afford it!"

On the third floor, in the No. 1 private room.

Upon hearing the words "Spirit Artifact," Lu Xinghan jumped up from his seat.

"A magical Spirit Artifact? And it's completely intact?!" He abruptly turned his head and questioned the guard.

"Why didn't the people from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion inform me beforehand?!"

The three guards knelt down in unison, one of them forcing himself to reply:

"Your Highness, the auctioneers did not mention any Spirit Artifact beforehand... It seems that someone consigned the item for auction not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinghan didn't say anything more, but his brows furrowed, and he hesitated.

His real goal in coming here today was the Heaven- Heaven-Breaking Pill.

The Heaven-Breaking Pill, a sixth-grade elixir, can increase the chance of Great Grandmaster Perfection breaking through to the Celestial Person Realm by 10% when taken.

Based on past auction records, this pill would typically fetch around 3.5 million Low-Grade Origin Crystal.

Lu Xinghan only prepared five million Low-Grade Origin Crystal for this auction.

He thought it would be more than enough!

Who could have predicted that a Spirit Artifact would suddenly appear out of nowhere!

The fact that not every Celestial Person Realm expert in the entire imperial city possessed a Spirit Artifact demonstrates just how rare this item was.

Although he already possessed a Spirit Artifact, and a Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact one at that, who would complain about having too many of these treasures?

"You, go to the Minister of Revenue's residence immediately and have him allocate ten million Low-Grade Origin Crystal and send them here as soon as possible!" Lu Xinghan pointed at a guard and ordered urgently.

"Yes!" The guard rushed out.

On the third floor, there were quite a few people like Lu Xinghan who were frantically sending people back to fetch reinforcements.

On the stage, Feng Sanniang took in everything, a sly smile flashing in her eyes.

She remained calm and unhurried, not in a rush to start filming. Instead, she adopted a composed demeanor and slowly began to introduce the Spirit Artifact:

"This treasure is called the Blood Bodhi Prayer Beads, Low-Grade Spirit Artifact."

"Please look, everyone. This rosary is made of eighteen dark red bodhi seeds strung together."

"Don't be fooled by its deep color; this is proof that it has been offered incense and prayers for over a hundred years!"

"Wearing it on your person at all times allows you to feel a sense of peace and tranquility, and has the remarkable effect of stabilizing your mind and preventing you from going astray during cultivation."

"And as a Low-Grade Spirit Artifact, it also contains a pure Buddhist rune."

"By injecting True Essence, the Vajra Demon-Subduing Gang Qi within the prayer beads can be activated, enough to withstand a fatal blow from an expert of the same level!"

"Not only that, but when this bead is unleashed, the eighteen prayer beads can instantly split and bind and lock down the enemy! That blood bead is incredibly tough; once a cultivator of the same level is trapped, it is extremely difficult to break free."

"A single bead serves three purposes: self-defense, suppression of inner demons, and trapping and killing enemies. It is truly a rare and excellent item."

In room number 12 on the second floor, Lu Feng was stunned, and only two words remained in his mind: admiration.

The rosary beads left his hand in less than two hours.

When Huiyan used this pearl against his enemy that day, it was far less effective than the miraculous technique described by Feng Sanniang.

Even he, the person directly involved, couldn't tell how much of the efficacy this Sanniang claimed was real and how much was exaggerated.

Once all the distinguished guests who had left to collect their Origin Crystal had returned, Feng Sanniang knew the time was right, so she stopped dawdling and waved her slender hand:

"The starting bid for the Blood Bodhi Prayer Beads is 1.2 million Low-Grade Origin Crystal! Each bid must be at least 100,000 higher!"

"Please make your bids!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million three hundred thousand!"

"One million four hundred thousand!"

All the bids went to the private rooms on the third floor.

In no time, the price broke through two million, and the momentum showed no signs of slowing down, with bids rising and falling.

"Three million Low-Grade Origin Crystal! Third time! Sold!"

Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP room number one for winning the Blood Bodhi Prayer Beads!

Lu Xinghan acquired this rosary for a staggering three million Low-Grade Origin Crystal.

Not long after, the 2.7 million Low-Grade Origin Crystal, after deducting commission, were delivered to room number twelve by a maid.

"Next, please present the second grand prize, a sixth-grade Heaven-Breaking Pill!"

"When Great Grandmaster Perfection cultivator at the peak of their cultivation level attempts to break through to the Celestial Person Realm, consuming this pill can instantly increase their breakthrough chances by 10%!"

"Its value, I believe, needs no further explanation! Starting bid: 1.5 million Low-Grade Origin Crystal! Each bid must be at least 100,000! Let's begin!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"One million six hundred thousand!"

"One million seven hundred thousand!"

Lu Feng had absolutely no interest in the Heaven-Breaking Pill and remained calm and collected.

But inside the private rooms on the third floor, countless people with bloodshot eyes joined the fray.

In the end, Lu Xinghan acquired the Heaven-Breaking Pill for 3.5 million Low-Grade Origin Crystal.
