The intense bidding for the Fire Spirit Chalcedony created excitement in the auction hall.
The attendees were taken aback when the price of the Fire Spirit Chalcedony soared to an astonishing eleven hundred primeval stones.
All eyes turned to Chen Fan, and many people shook their heads with a tinge of regret in their eyes.
They believed that competing for the Fire Spirit Chalcedony with Lin Ba was foolish and that Chen Fan had only paid the price of the item for Lin Ba.
Chen Fan didn’t pay any heed to these people’s gazes.
For Qin Yao, he was willing to compete with Lin Ba; if need be, even with the prince of the Great Chu Empire.
“Junior Brother, you...” Qin Yao’s heart shook. Eleven hundred primeval stones was a sum that was simply beyond her imagination.
Chen Fan patted the back of Qin Yao’s hand and smiled. “Don’t worry, Senior Sister. Are there any other treasures you want? Tell me if there are. I’ll bid them all for you.”
“There’s nothing else,” Qin Yao blurted, fearing that Chen Fan would once again bid an exorbitant price if she mentioned anything.
Chen Fan nodded with a smile and said, “Alright then. Let’s continue watching and see what other treasures are up for bidding.”
Chen Fan wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Although he had successfully bid for the Fire Spirit Chalcedony, he had to wait until the end to go backstage and pay for his item. Only then would he get the Fire Spirit Chalcedony.
The auction continued as treasures were brought out one by one. Among them, a profound-tier martial art was also presented for auction, captivating the crowd and sparking a bidding frenzy.
During this period, Chen Fan made another successful bid for a bottle of Tiger Demon Body Tempering Pills, used for tempering one's body and strengthening tendons and bones.
As the auction progressed, reaching its final stages, the atmosphere in the hall peaked.
Even those who had not participated in the bidding, including the Qi Grandmasters, were now fully engaged. They sat upright, their eyes shining brightly as if preparing for battle.
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Chen Fan grew more serious and curious about the grand finale of the auction.
“Hoho. Thank you, everyone here, for Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! This upcoming item is the last treasure for this auction. It’s a pill. I believe that everyone here is well aware of its significance, so I won't elaborate much. The last item is a Realm Breaking Pill, and we will start the bidding at one thousand primeval stones.”
As soon as the elder’s voice fell, the entire auction hall erupted with excitement.
People stood up from their seats one after another.
The Qi Grandmasters in the private rooms couldn't contain their anticipation. Each of them stood up, determined to acquire this item, as it was the sole reason for their presence here.
The Realm Breaking Pill was a three-star pill. Moreover, its ingredients were as valuable, if not more, than those required to refine some four-star pills.
The most important point was that it had a fatal attraction to Qi Grandmasters.
As its name suggested, the Realm Breaking Pill could help martial artists advance to the next level.
The journey to reach the Yuanfu realm for Qi Grandmasters was fraught with a high failure rate. A failed attempt could result in severe injuries or even permanent damage to their cultivation, rendering them useless.
Realm Breaking Pills could increase the success rate by thirty to fifty percent, resulting in a high success rate for most of them.
During the first phase of the grand competition, Sun Wenshan wanted to get the Realm Breaking Pill in Qin Changkong’s possession. He had wagered the Bone Spirit Flame, but Chen Fan had ultimately killed his son with a single punch. This not only made him lose his Bone Spirit Flame but also shattered his hopes of breaking through to the Yuanfu realm. The depth of his hatred could only be imagined.
“It’s finally appeared! Realm Breaking Pill, you’re mine!” exclaimed a ferocious-looking Qi Grandmaster in the lobby. He seemed ready to make anyone who dared to compete with him for the pill his sworn enemy, willing to eliminate them all.
“Realm Breaking Pill, Realm Breaking Pill! With it, I can finally advance and become a Yuanfu realm expert. The world would become my backyard then!” Another Qi Grandmaster laughed out loud.
“It’s indeed the Realm Breaking Pill. Good. Very good! I have to obtain it. This is my hope of entering the Yuanfu realm. Anyone who dares to challenge me will face the blade in my hands!”
In the thirty-fourth private room:
Lin Ba stepped on the table, emanating a strong killing intent as he stared at the Realm Breaking Pill below. “Whoever dares to compete with me this time will be making an enemy of my Lin Clan. I have only one word for you: death!”
The expressions of the Qi Grandmaster experts in the lobby immediately sank.
“Hmph, your Lin Clan may be influential, but if you want to obtain this Realm Breaking Pill, you still need to dig deep into your pockets. With this Realm Breaking Pill, I can become a Yuanfu realm expert. Will I still be afraid of your Lin Clan?” said a Qi Grandmaster with a cold smile.
“Alright, you, I remember you now. Get ready to be pursued to the ends of the world by my clan’s experts!” Lin Ba looked at the Qi Grandmaster.
“Hmph, how impressive, Lin Clan. My Sun Clan will be taking this Realm Breaking Pill. I want to see whether your Lin Clan dares to go to war with my Sun Clan!” declared an elder coldly from another private room, representing another prominent martial clan.
In the ninth private room, the room with the Floating Cloud Sword Sect’s group:
“Junior Brother Wang, looks like many have set their eyes on the Realm Breaking Pill this time,” remarked a youth in a golden robe, wearing a calm expression as if the pill was destined to be theirs.
Wang Tengfei said plainly, “That’s only natural. A Realm Breaking Pill is almost guaranteed to produce a Yuanfu realm expert. Such individuals would be considered ancestors in any prominent martial clan and even esteemed experts in our Floating Cloud Sword Sect. Who wouldn't want to advance to the Yuanfu realm?
“But I am on my cousin’s orders this time to bring this Realm Breaking Pill back. With this pill, he will immediately advance to the Yuanfu realm after entering the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land. Then, he will be strong enough to dominate the outer disciples from the other sects, earning glory for our Floating Cloud Sword Sect.”
The youth in a golden robe nodded. “Of course. With Senior Brother Fuchen’s strength, he’s sure to advance to the Yuanfu realm after obtaining this Realm Breaking Pill. Moreover, I’ve already scouted around. Of the three other great sects, only Spring Autumn Sect’s Zhong Li has recently become a Qi Grandmaster. None of the Mountain River Sect’s and Burning Incense Valley’s outer sect disciples are Qi Grandmasters yet.”
“However, during the trip to the Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, the other sects will undoubtedly reward their outer sect disciples with many primeval stones and pills, greatly enhancing the cultivation of those qualified to enter the blessed land. All three great sects may have Qi Grandmasters leading them.”
“That’s nothing. My cousin’s cultivation has long since become a Qi Grandmaster. Killing newbie Qi Grandmasters is as simple as crushing an ant for him.”
Wang Tengfei revealed a look of disdain and continued, “He needs this Realm Breaking Pill to be prepared for any unexpected dangers, as the blessed land also has formidable demon beasts.”
“Alright, the bidding has started. We’ll let them fight it out first,” Wang Tengfei said, observing the crowd with a smirk.
The bidding had already started. To him, those bidders were nothing more than clowns. No matter how they fought for it, this Realm Breaking Pill would belong to him in the end.
