Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 28 Blue Crystal

As the energy halo extended upwards, the floor of the auction stage slowly cracked open amidst a low creaking sound of metal axles rubbing together, revealing a stepped passageway extending into the ground, which appeared before the eyes of countless people in the auction hall.

"Hehe, everyone, I suppose you're getting a little impatient. In that case, I won't bother with any more official platitudes."

As the steps appeared, accompanied by a hearty laugh, an old man dressed in a black robe appeared before everyone.

The old man in black robes smiled as he looked at the sea of ​​heads in the arena, his last glance lingering on the private rooms on the second floor. His loud voice echoed throughout the arena.

As an experienced auctioneer, he knew exactly why these people had come today. So he didn't waste any words and waved his hand, announcing loudly, "You are all already familiar with the Black Rock Auction House's Grand Auction. Without further ado, the Black Rock Grand Auction officially begins!"

As the old man spoke, the platform in front of him suddenly began to tremble, and a silver plate suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

On the silver plate, a pale blue pill rests quietly.

The appearance of this elixir immediately attracted a lot of attention, and many people even became breathless.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, elixirs are a highly sought-after item, comparable to cultivation techniques and combat skills. In fact, some elixirs that can directly enhance strength are coveted by countless people.

It's not unusual for pills to appear in top-tier auctions, but normally, pills of this caliber only appear in the final stages of an auction.

To actually bring out pills of this caliber right from the start, this auction must have something special going on!

"This pill is called the 'Azure Spirit Pill.' Many people have probably heard of its reputation. It can help those who have been lingering at the peak of the Battle Master realm to break through the barrier in one fell swoop. Moreover, this Azure Spirit Pill was personally refined by Lord Otto, the vice president of our Black Rock City Alchemist Guild. Its quality is exceptionally high. After taking it, those with good luck might even experience a surge in strength, reaching two stars!"

The old man in black robes pointed to the pills on the silver plate and said with a smile.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the auction hall.

Countless eyes gazed longingly at the jade bottle on the silver plate.

This kind of elixir that can help people break through class barriers is something that can only be obtained by chance. Although there is only one word difference between a Battle Master and a Great Battle Master, only by stepping into the latter can one truly be considered to have entered the inner sanctum of Battle Qi cultivation.

This is a leap that is almost a qualitative change, which is why countless people are stuck at the peak of the Battle Master level and hesitate to take that step.

However, all these problems can be easily solved with a single Qingling Pill. Therefore, once this pill appeared, even the powerful forces and families on the second floor were quite interested in it.

After all, in Black Rock City, a Battle Spirit is already at the peak of combat power, while a Great Battle Master is undoubtedly the backbone of the major families and forces.

A single Azure Spirit Pill can cultivate a Great Dou Master. In the long run, this deal is undoubtedly worthwhile.

"It seems that you have all heard of the Qingling Pill. In that case, I won't waste any more words."

The black-robed auctioneer smiled and a sly glint in his eyes. He deliberately avoided going into detail about the side effects of the Azure Spirit Pill.

This Azure Spirit Pill was indeed refined by Otto, but it has no pill patterns.

In other words, this Azure Spirit Pill is just an ordinary fourth-grade pill, which can help a Dou Shi expert break through to the Great Dou Shi realm. However, the probability of failure is extremely high. Once it fails, the expert will suffer a backlash from the pill, and not only will the breakthrough not happen, but the expert's strength will also decline significantly.

But how can such devaluation be said in this auction?

The black-robed auctioneer waved his hand and spoke directly.

"Starting price for the auction: 200,000!"

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!"

The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when someone in the back seat shouted out loud.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

There were clearly many people interested in the Azure Spirit Pill, and with Master Otto's reputation also involved, bidders came in droves, and in just a few breaths, the price was pushed up to 300,000.

However, after the price reached 300,000, the number of bidders gradually decreased.

Everyone isn't stupid. Although this Qingling Pill is good and has the backing of Otto's name, it's still just an ordinary Qingling Pill.

Three hundred thousand is already a reasonable price for a regular fourth-grade pill.

After several rounds of bidding, the fourth-grade Qingling Pill was finally sold for 390,000 and successfully auctioned off.

With a successful start, the atmosphere inside the auction hall gradually heated up.

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, the black-robed auctioneer brought out other items for auction one after another. These items, thanks to their excellent quality and the black-robed old man's persuasive praise, all sold for a good price.

Second-floor private rooms.

The auction below was in full swing, but the Black Rock City Lord's private room was deathly silent.

The two top alchemists from Blackrock City stood up, their eyes fixed on Xue Mei and Lin Fei, looking quite disoriented.

"You're saying that the pill was made by that young man, and not by the alchemist behind him?!"

"That's impossible! That boy looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. How could he possibly refine a Douling Pill that's comparable to a sixth-grade pill?" The Black Rock City Lord also looked grave and questioned, "Master Otto, you and I both know that it's absolutely impossible for a seventeen-year-old to be a fifth or sixth-grade alchemist. Alchemy is not a combat skill. No matter how talented he is, alchemy still requires time and experience to accumulate."

"What the City Lord says is absolutely right. My first reaction was also disbelief. After all, even the Pill King Gu He was already middle-aged when he reached the sixth-grade alchemist level."

Xue Mei gave a wry smile and shook her head: "But the young man said that he could give us a chance to observe him refining medicine."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the three most powerful people in Blackrock City, who were practically the most influential in the entire private room, all stood up at the same time.

To observe the alchemy process?

Isn't this just directly showing off his identity as an alchemist in their faces?

"Did the boy really say that?"

Otto's breathing became quite rapid. Since the boy had the confidence to let them observe the alchemy process, the conclusion they had completely scoffed at suddenly seemed incredibly fantastical.

Could it be that he really is a fifth-grade, or even sixth-grade, alchemist?!

"If we produce the items he requested this morning in the treasure room, he will allow us to observe the alchemy process."

Linfei whispered, "But he's leaving tomorrow, so he hasn't given us much time to think."

"What's there to consider?!"

Frank suddenly swore and slammed his rough hand heavily on the table.

"Give it! You absolutely must give it!"

"Snow Fairy, take my warrant and retrieve a single Dry Blue Crystal from our inventory!"

"What?!"
