Chapter 483: Eighth Grade Five‑Color Pill

This earth‑source gale wind may be unfamiliar to many guests present, but it is indeed one of the most precious treasures in the Western Wilderness Great Desert; to obtain it, a Dou Zun‑level strongman must venture into the deep Gangfeng Source Cave of the Western Wilderness Great Desert, and only if luck is sufficient to encounter a sliver of earth‑core power that pierces the ground and fuse it with the gale wind's origin can one have a chance at acquiring such a strand!

However, when the earth power merges with the gale wind's origin, nine out of ten attempts end in failure, and even if the fusion succeeds it must be retrieved and carefully preserved within three days, or it will soon be blown apart by other gale winds; thus this strand of origin is truly a once‑in‑a‑millennium occurrence.

Seeing that many people in the hall were unfamiliar, the auctioneer explained the information about this earth‑source gale wind.

"What? To obtain this earth‑source gale wind origin, one must enter the Gangfeng Source Cave!"

Upon hearing the auctioneer's introduction, some cultivators' faces instantly turned extremely terrified.

The so‑called Gangfeng Source Cave is the year‑round, incessant source of gale winds within the Western Wilderness Great Desert.

Inside, the environment is extremely harsh.

Even Dou Zong‑level strongmen dare not venture too deep.

Otherwise, those razor‑sharp gale winds would slice them into meat paste.

It is said that many Dou Zun‑level adventurers who descend into the depths of the Gangfeng Source Cave have fallen there.

If this earth‑source gale wind origin truly exists only in the deep of the Gangfeng Source Cave.

Then this strand of earth‑source gale wind origin can probably only be captured by the president of Xuan Du Trading House, Ji Jiaxin, venturing down herself.

"Of course, high risk often comes with high reward; wind‑attribute cultivators who can successfully refine the earth‑source gale wind will not only see a massive boost in their Dou Qi level, but also cause a mutation in their Dou Qi, dramatically increasing its power. Even for Dou Zun‑level strongmen, it has tremendous effect!"

After the auctioneer finished recounting the origin of this earth‑source gale wind, they immediately described its effects.

"What a fine item."

Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Lin Feng's eyes instantly brightened.

This item happens to provide Yun Yun with a strand.

Among his current women, Feng Qinger and Yun Yun both possess the wind attribute.

However, considering that Feng Qinger's primary cultivation is the thunder attribute.

And now that she has the Ancient Phoenix Demon Core and Essence Blood, she doesn't really need this earth‑source gale wind origin.

After weighing the options, only Yun Yun seems suitable to fuse this strand of earth‑source gale wind origin.

"Tch~"

Xiao Yixian saw the expression and instantly guessed what he was thinking, pursing his lips.

Feng Qinger saw her expression and pressed her pretty face close.

Then the two women began whispering some secret conversation.

At this moment, the hall also began competing for that strand of earth‑source gale wind origin.

However, because this item is also a rare treasure for Dou Zun‑level cultivators.

Therefore, the cultivators in the lower area were quickly eliminated.

At this point, only the upper circle of the VIP room remained in the competition.

And its price quickly rose to the equivalent of three Eighth Grade Two‑Color Pills.

"One Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pill!"

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly spoke again.

After that price was shouted, the hall instantly fell into a brief silence.

"What exactly is this person's status, carrying so many Eighth Grade Pills?"

Some strong cultivators in the hall, upon hearing Lin Feng's bid, began to speculate in their minds.

Many in the hall were extremely shocked that Lin Feng could produce another Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pill.

After all, such high‑grade pills are rare even across the entire Western Wilderness region.

"VIP Room No. 16 bids one Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pill; is there a higher offer?"

Seeing this, the auctioneer quickly matched the previous price set by Dong Yan.

After all, an Eighth Grade Pill of a single color is already a heaven‑level rarity.

Even eight or nine Eighth Grade Two‑Color Pills may not compare to a single Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pill.

Therefore, she naturally knows which is more valuable.

"Two."

After a moment of silence, the Fire Spirit Sect Sect Master Dong Yan spoke, breaking the hall's quiet.

"Three."

Lin Feng did not hesitate and again shouted out the three remaining Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pills he had.

"Hmph!"

The Fire Spirit Sect Sect Master let out a cold hum and did not continue bidding.

After all, such high‑grade Eighth Grade Three‑Color Pills are scarce; even a sect with a centuries‑long inheritance like his has only two.

He truly could not match that price, so he could only temporarily give up.

"You all are buying on such a grand scale; I think after you leave this Sand Desert City, how will you evade the pack of feral wolves?"

Dong Yan's face darkened as he snorted once, then fell silent.

"Congratulations to VIP Room No. 16 for successfully acquiring this strand of earth‑source gale wind origin!"

After waiting for a while, the auctioneer, seeing no further bids, immediately struck the gavel.

"Everyone, next is the final item of this auction by my Xuan Du Trading House, also the most precious item. This object has recently caused a huge sensation in the Pill Realm, so I'm sure you've all heard of it."

After a maid presented the item, the auctioneer's expression suddenly turned solemn as he addressed the crowd.

"Caused a sensation in the Pill Realm? Tsk tsk, could it be the recent White Family theft case?"

Hearing the auctioneer's tone, some well‑informed cultivators immediately let out a schadenfreude‑tinged laugh.

"Definitely, I heard a guard of the famous White Family treasury exploited a management loophole and successfully stole a prized piece of the White Family's core treasure."

The person standing nearby also laughed along after hearing this.

It is said that this is a treasure pill that has reached the eight-grade, five-color level. Nowadays, within the Bai Family, there is no one left who can refine it.

That's right, I heard that pill was still, back when the previous clan chief of the Bai Family was alive, after painstaking effort, managed to successfully refine it through sheer luck. Normally, the Bai Family keeps it carefully stored; who would have thought it was actually taken out by a guard.

Hehe, that's better. Today, it can also let us little trash broaden our horizons. The last time such a pill appeared in the Western Wasteland was several hundred years ago, at the auction held in the session before last. This thing, saying it's rare to see once in a thousand years is not an exaggeration.

However, the Profound Metropolis Merchant House is really bold; not long after the Bai Family just had it stolen, they dare to put it up for auction, and they aren't afraid of the Bai Family coming to settle the score.

You're foolish. The Pill Pagoda Five Great Families have endured thousands of years; nowadays, only the Dan and Cao families remain as strong as before. As for the Bai Family, although its strength is still not weak, wanting the Profound Metropolis Merchant House to back down is somewhat difficult.
