Legend of Swordsman

As the most renowned scion within the ancient city of Guhai, he naturally had no interest in such a bustling auction.

But he still came, not for anything else, but to catch a glimpse of the real deal.

He had long heard that in the vast expanse of the Great Si Region, the only method capable of enlightening and possibly breaking through the shackles for cultivators like him was the premium pills found exclusively at the Eternal Wushuang Auction House.

Regarding this peerless-grade pill, all the Yan Immortals knew very little, or even nothing at all. However, from the pill that was passed down tens of thousands of years ago, it was very terrifying.

The first to acquire these pills, the inhabitants of the Heavenly Regions, even had rumors suggesting that the shackles binding their cultivation had begun to loosen.

This undoubtedly heightened the frenzy not only among other Heavenly Regions but also among the cultivators themselves.

They had endless lifespans but had to endure the cruel confinement of unbreakable shackles. It was undeniably harsh.

But now, there seemed to be a way up this path, even though it remained a distant hope. Every cultivator was eager to give it a try.

The grand finale of the auction was the ultimate focus for all cultivators and even the lords of the Heavenly Regions.

At this moment, the young scion from Guhai City was not worried at all. It was as if the outcome was already decided and victory was in his hands.

What he needed to do now was to go through the motions.

With nearly a ninety percent unsold rate, the pace of the auction for the forty precious treasures was surprisingly swift.

Often, the auctioneer would swiftly move on to the next precious item right after introducing one, as if in a hurry.

At this rate, all 40 precious treasures could be introduced within a mere ten hours or so.

As time passed, the first 20 precious treasures went unsold.

And the real finale had just begun.

In the following period of time, there were finally some Yan Immortals who bid.

After nearly 20,000 years of accumulation, the number of supreme treasures in the Eternal Wushuang Auction House had reached an unprecedented level.

It was rumored that the Eternal Wushuang was the wealthiest place in the entire Great Si Region.

He looked at the strange and mysterious treasures that appeared one after another.

As each enigmatic and mystical treasure was revealed one by one, the lords of various Heavenly Regions could not help but hold their breath, their attention riveted.

Finally, the thirty-eighth treasure made its appearance.

He could sense that the entire hall had quieted down, with hidden currents surging beneath the surface.

Traditionally, the showstopper was always the pill that only the Eternal Wushuang Auction House possessed.

The thirty-ninth true treasure was the sign of the climax!

At this moment, all the strong individuals on the three tiers stood up in unison, their gaze fixed on the center of the hall.

Even the usually apathetic young lord of Guhai City abruptly rose from his seat, his expression tinged with nervousness as he looked downward.

Qing Ling smiled faintly, her slender hand flipping open to reveal a dark sandalwood box.

As this sandalwood box appeared, an intensely rich medicinal fragrance instantly swept through the entire heavenly hall, emanating from Qing Ling.

It was a peculiar aroma!

"My Lords, My Ladies, this is the thirty-ninth item up for auction, the Canglian Pill, containing an immense aura of vitality."

"If consumed by an ordinary peak cultivator, they will surely break through their shackles and achieve the cultivation of a Yan Immortal within 10,000 years. However, if a Yan Immortal consumes it, they will be able to comprehend the breakthrough of the Grand Yan Immortal realm."

"The starting price of this pill is 600 millioon Black Mountain Crystals."

Qing Ling smiled, then, after uttering these last words, she waved her hand to open the sandalwood box.

In an instant, a supreme, iridescent radiance burst forth. These lights interconnected, forming a hovering rainbow that enveloped the entire heavenly hall.

Inside the box, the pill was translucent as crystal, containing a myriad of swirling fate energies.

Seeing this, all the Yan Immortals were moved, even the lords of the Heavenly Regions could not remain calm.

This Canglian Pill was truly terrifying, roughly equivalent to a guaranteed breakthrough to the Yan Immortal realm, and capable of breaking through to the Grand Yan Immortal realm. This was simply unimaginable.

A starting price of 600 million Black Mountain Crystals was sufficient proof of the pill's dreadfulness.

Ordinary Yan Immortals wore grim expressions; they had lost their bidding qualifications. With such a terrifying starting price, it was extremely rare, even in the history of the Eternal Wushuang Auction House.

Even the lord of a normal Heavenly Regionos would not be able to produce so many Black Mountain Crystals.

The Heavenly Palace fell into a brief silence.

However, this silence only lasted for a few breaths before a bidding voice shattered it.

"600 million."

There was a commotion all around, and all the Yan Immortals were astonished, then they all turned to look at the source of the voice.

There, on the third floor, shrouded in a vast Yan power barrier, concealed to the extreme.

The bidding voice was full of vigor, exuding an air of dominance.

Almost simultaneously, another low-pitched bidding voice sounded, "610 million."

Before this bidding voice could even finish, a lazy and elegant voice completely unveiled the bidding war.

"650 million."

The hall was buzzing with low voices; 650 million Black Mountain Crystals, this was an unimaginable number, almost forming a small mountain, but it was treated casually at the moment.

"700 million!"

The forceful voice once again shook the entire audience.

Qing Ling, holding the box made of lignum vitae, was completely shocked.

She knew very well that the reason for the high starting price of this pill was to prevent competitive bidding.

But she never imagined that such an absurd price would lead to a bidding war?!

"710 million."

"730 million."

"800 million."

A stiff smile appeared on Qing Ling's face, and the situation was starting to exceed her imagination.

Then, with a more secretive gaze, she looked towards the central space on the third floor.

"Damn, who's opposing us?!"

The young master who came from Guhai City had a solemn and cold expression.

Behind him, there were ten Yan Immortals.

Then, an old man stepped forward. "Young Master, it's the Shangjun Sect."

"Shangjun Sect? Do they dare to bid against us?" He was already on the verge of anger.

You see, Guhai City, which included 13 Heavenly Regions, had already reached its limit with 600 million Black Mountain Crystals.

And now, 800 billion was far too much.

To the point where the previously confident young master from the ancient Guhai City felt worry and immense pressure.

If this bidding continued, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

"Young Master, if this continues, the foundation of our Heavenly Region may be shaken..."

The elder Yan Immortal behind him was already anxiously trying to persuade him.

"In that case, let this pill go." He shook his head, his gaze filled with anger.

Following that, this Canglian Pill was eventually sold for 800 million.

In the depths of Qing Ling's eyes, there was a trace of helplessness. After all, this pill should have belonged to the Heavenly Region of Guhai City.

But everything had changed, and the Emperor-grade pill was ultimately taken by the owner of that powerful bidding voice.
