"Distinguished guests, this is the first item up for auction today: an 800-year-old gemstone head bone from an extremely rare diamond rhinoceros. The starting price is 10 million gold soul coins, and each bid must be at least 1 million."
"The first item is the Soul Bone!"
Tang San was shocked. He never expected that the first item to be auctioned would be a soul bone, and a rare head soul bone at that. This was just the beginning; what would happen with the items that followed?
Tang San couldn't even imagine what kind of treasures would be auctioned next; they would probably be priceless.
"Eleven million!!"
"Fifteen million!"
Thirty million!
The competition for the soul bone was fierce, but when the bid reached 30 million, the scene came to a halt.
An 800-year-old rare diamond head bone is extremely valuable, but if it exceeds the budget and affects the purchase of subsequent items in the auction, it would be a loss. Therefore, many people stopped bidding.
"Thirty million once."
"Anyone want to pay more?"
"Thirty million twice."
The woman waited and watched for a while, and seeing that no one else was bidding higher, she finally made the final decision.
"Thirty million three times!"
"Congratulations to VIP number two for winning the bid for this 800-year-old diamond rhinoceros head bone."
On the two VIP platforms, Hu Yanzhen's lips curled up slightly. He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. He couldn't use the eight-hundred-year-old diamond head soul bone, but the young geniuses in the sect could.
Not long after, a special person carefully dragged the soul bone to this place.
"Dear esteemed guest, this is the item you have purchased. Please confirm it."
Hu Yanzhen nodded, lifted the red cloth, and after confirming that everything was correct, reached out and took it in his hand.
"I've checked it, no problem. Thank you all."
"Then we won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, just press the green button next to you, and our staff will be there whenever you call."
"Ah."
Hu Yanzhen nodded.
The group didn't linger. After delivering the items, they left in an orderly fashion, with the last person quietly closing the door behind them.
Chapter 440 The Pill That Drives Everyone Crazy
As Tang San had expected, the auction items were all priceless, including image-enhancing soul tools, the only surviving antique from the previous dynasty, and works of art that were either practical or collectible.
"Next up is one of the highlights of this auction."
The woman in red waved her hand, and a servant came up carrying a tray with a delicate little black box on it.
The woman had the item placed on the table, then opened the box, and a pleasant fragrance filled the entire auction hall, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, focusing their attention on the box. What came into view was a pill, slightly larger than a glass bead, entirely black, with several red streaks on its surface.
"This is a pill that His Majesty has refined using rare medicinal materials such as ten-thousand-year-old snow ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus seeds, and thousand-year-old blood bodhi. Taking it can enhance a Soul Master's innate foundation, increase the Soul Master's cultivation speed, and strengthen the physique. Keeping it by your side can also calm the mind and help cultivate spiritual power."
"Starting bid: 100 million gold soul coins; each bid must be at least 5 million!"
"Medicine!!"
Tang San was so shocked that he stood up, staring blankly at the black pill with red patterns in the box on the stage.
Pills may exist in future generations, but none will be of such high quality as this one.
Recalling what the woman said about the origin of the pill, Tang San thought to himself, "Just who is this Gu Han? Even though I was a god-king in my previous life, I never mastered the art of alchemy. How did he, a mere mortal, manage to refine a pill that is far superior in quality to the Qiankun Creation Pill?"
Just from the aroma of the medicine, Tang San felt his soul power increase. Although it wasn't much, it was definitely there. If he had eaten it and fully refined it, he couldn't imagine how many levels he would have gained.
"Gu Han, who exactly are you?"
Tang San felt even more wary of Gu Han. An opponent who cultivates quickly is not scary, but an opponent who cultivates quickly and can also refine pills, and whose pills are top-notch, is a truly terrifying existence.
Because the other party could completely rely on pills to mass-produce a large number of powerful individuals. Given the quality of such pills, how many did Gu Han himself consume? Did the other party also obtain the inheritance of a god, or even become a god himself?
After all, while others might not know, Tang San certainly did. In this era, becoming a god required not only divine inheritance but also the path of creating one's own godhood. This path was a pipe dream for soul beasts, but it was not impossible for humans.
Angels, sea gods, ice gods, and Rakshasa gods are examples of this.
After all, the rules of the God Realm only suppress soul beasts, not humans.
He is so powerful that even his own father couldn't withstand a single sword strike from him, and he can also refine high-quality pills on his own. Just how powerful has he become now?
If Tang San had previously thought of Gu Han merely as a slightly stronger Limit Douluo, that's not uncommon on the continent.
But things are different now. This Gu Han probably has the aptitude to create his own godhood, and may have already embarked on that path.
What's even more frightening is that such a high-grade pill is being auctioned off. Does this mean that the other party can refine pills of an even higher grade than this one?
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about it. He felt as insignificant as an ant facing the vast sky.
Suddenly, Tang San snapped out of his daze, quickly regained his senses, and shook his head.
No, no, no, no!!
I, Tang San, am the future Asura God King. How can I be intimidated by someone who can only reach the level of a first-level god at most?
The pinnacle of self-created godhood is becoming a first-level god. To become a god-king, one must completely control at least one law authority.
Creating one's own divine position only gets you to the highest level of a first-level god. To become a god-king, you need other god-kings to guide you or make way for you. Otherwise, you'll end up like the first angel god, suffering a crushing defeat and dying.
Inside the No. 1 private room, Bone Douluo's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he said excitedly, "Feng Zhi, buy it! With it, I can repair the damage I suffered in my early years, break through the bottleneck of level 95, and enter level 96, or even level 97!"
This left Bone Douluo no time to be calm. He had been stuck at level 95 for a long time, and even with the advent of Gu Han's cultivation technique, he couldn't break through the level 95 bottleneck.
All of this was mainly due to his hasty cultivation in his youth, focusing only on breaking through levels without considering the solidity of his foundation. In addition, some events that happened later damaged his mental state and left hidden injuries on his body, which affected his fundamental health and prevented him from breaking through the bottleneck between levels 95 and 96.
Now, he sees a further hope, a hope of no longer being beaten by cowardly men. How could he not be excited?
"really?"
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly. The pill didn't smell like it was made for him. His cultivation had reached its limit. The bucket was full, and no amount of water could be added. Although he could sense that the pill was very good, he didn't crave it.
If this were a pill that could also evolve Ning Fengzhi's martial soul, then Ning Fengzhi would undoubtedly show an expression of longing and excitement at this moment.
However, if Uncle Bone could also break through to level 96 or even 97, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be even more secure.
The leap to the first or even second level of Super Douluo is nothing to Ning Fengzhi if money can buy it; it's practically delivered right to his doorstep.
"Take it! We must take it!"
Ning Fengzhi slapped the armrest and made his decision.
Other members of the major sects shared the same feeling as Bone Douluo, including Hu Yanzhen.
Although he was already a level 92 Title Douluo with great strength, he was still too weak against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he desperately wanted this pill.
A voice in his heart told him that as long as he ate this pill, he could break through to the Super Douluo level in a short time.
Tuoba Xi also stood up excitedly, his eyes fixed on the pill. A feeling in his heart told him that as long as he took this pill, he could break through from level 91 to level 96 in a short time.
By then, he will be able to defeat Huyan Zhen and rise to the second position among the top three sects.
The other Soul Douluo sect leaders and the Soul Saint Soul Douluos present were all breathing heavily. As long as they ate this pill, they could break through to the Title Douluo level, gain unparalleled glory and status, and lead their sects to prosperity!
"Take it!"
"We must take this place at all costs!!!"
Everyone reached a consensus.
Chapter 441 A Conflict Caused by a Pill
"One hundred million!"
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"One billion!!"
At this point, many sects were helpless because they didn't have enough money left. The remaining competition was between first-class and top-tier sects.
Suddenly, the sign for room number two was raised.
"Ten billion!!"
As the words fell, silence fell over the scene, and yet another group of forces had no choice but to withdraw from the competition.
"VIP number two has offered 10 billion. Is there anyone else willing to raise the bid?"
The female host was extremely excited. The auction house hadn't auctioned something this valuable in a long time. She had a feeling that this was far from the limit, because the No. 1 VIP platform representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still as stable as Mount Tai.
This isn't about not competing; it's about preparing for everyone to have paid their share, and for no one to pay more than the last time, before he makes the final decision.
She understands this kind of thing; she knows it.
"Twelve billion!"
Just then, the VIPs at table number three raised their signs and increased the stakes.
"15 billion!!"
Hu Yanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Come on, let's see who has more money."
"Two hundred billion!!" The fourth player also chimed in, adding to the bet.
"Two hundred and fifty billion!!" The same was true for the fifth position.
"Eighty billion!!"
With each party continuously raising their bids, the price for a single pill quickly reached 80 billion gold soul coins.
Everyone below held their breath, listening intently as the stakes continued to be raised.
"Wow, such a small pill has caused these major sects to fight tooth and nail over it."
Behind the floor-to-ceiling window, Dugu Bo couldn't help but marvel at the constant escalation of the game below.
The location was elevated, and the sealed floor-to-ceiling windows prevented the medicinal fragrance from reaching his nose; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have fared much better than Bone Douluo and his group.
With a loud boom, a powerful surge of soul energy erupted in the arena. On the second VIP platform, Hu Yanzhen stood up, his feet bearing a standard two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings.
