Chapter 200: Soul Transformation Pill

A Tier-5 Supreme Enlightenment Pill.

This was crafted by Ye Qingxuan over the past period, using Tier-5 Calming Tea as the primary ingredient.

Upon hearing the effects of the Enlightenment Pill, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall displayed varied expressions.

Even the Soul Transformation experts, Duanhun Venerable and Cheng Yuan, showed slight changes in their expressions.

Although they had no use for the Enlightenment Pill themselves, they could use it to cultivate their subordinates.

Beyond that.

The Golden Core cultivators were equally stirred.

However, upon learning that the Enlightenment Pill could increase the success rate of a Nascent Soul breakthrough to Soul Transformation by ten percent.

They already knew the Enlightenment Pill was beyond their reach.

"A Tier-5 Supreme Enlightenment Pill, starting bid of 100, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

As Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, those determined to secure the Enlightenment Pill immediately began bidding: "120, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"130, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"550, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

In almost a few breaths, the price of the Enlightenment Pill had been driven up to 550, 00 high-grade spirit stones.

At this point, more than half of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall had been eliminated due to insufficient spirit stones.

The one who last bid 550, 00 high-grade spirit stones was Bai Qing'an, the Vice Hall Master of the main hall of the Treasure Pavilion.

At this moment, Bai Qing'an's heart was also extremely tense.

If it were a direct bidding war among Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Qing'an would have been completely untroubled.

Among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall, in terms of financial strength, Bai Qing'an was absolutely confident in ranking first.

But among the cultivators attending the auction today, there were also three Soul Transformation experts.

If those three Soul Transformation experts participated in the bidding, his chances of successfully acquiring the Enlightenment Pill would become extremely low.

After Bai Qing'an bid 550, 00 high-grade spirit stones, the heated emotions of the cultivators in the hall cooled slightly for a moment.

Seeing the bidding pause, Ye Qingxuan spoke softly:

"550, 00 high-grade spirit stones, first time."

"550, 00 high-grade spirit stones, second time."

Just as Ye Qingxuan was about to count the third time, and a smile began to appear on Bai Qing'an's face.

Cheng Yuan, located in the third-floor private box, spoke calmly:

"This Venerable offers 600, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing Cheng Yuan's bid, Bai Qing'an's expression changed slightly.

He weighed the situation in his mind for a moment and was about to bid again.

Unexpectedly, Duanhun Venerable, also located in the third-floor private box, joined the bidding for the Enlightenment Pill:

"700, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Seeing someone competing with him, Cheng Yuan glanced at the private box where Duanhun Venerable was seated, remained expressionless, and bid again: "750, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"800, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Seeing two Soul Transformation Venerables bidding against each other, Bai Qing'an let out a bitter smile and sensibly gave up the bidding.

Although he was the Vice Hall Master of the main hall of the Treasure Pavilion, in terms of personal wealth, he naturally could not compare to an established veteran Soul Transformation Venerable like Cheng Yuan.

"1, 00, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Finally, after Duanhun Venerable bid 1, 00, 00 high-grade spirit stones.

Cheng Yuan also gave up continuing the bidding.

Spending too many spirit stones for subordinates was still not worth it.

After giving up the bidding, Cheng Yuan looked in the direction of Duanhun Venerable, then at the man wearing a purple-gold mask, his brows furrowed tightly:

"Two more unfamiliar Soul Transformation experts?"

Just as Cheng Yuan was pondering, Ye Qingxuan had already begun the countdown:

"1, 00, 00 high-grade spirit stones, first time, 1, 00, 00 high-grade spirit stones, second time, 1, 00, 00 high-grade spirit stones, third time, sold."

After the Enlightenment Pill was auctioned.

The small stone platform shimmered with light once more.

An exquisite wooden box appeared, containing ten pills with a metallic luster.

"Ten Tier-5 Supreme Nuclear Explosion Pills, controllable and detonatable via spiritual sense, with power comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak realm self-destructing, rivaling a single strike from a early-stage Soul Transformation expert."

"Starting bid of 30, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

The Nuclear Explosion Pills might not be very effective against cultivators of the same realm. But in Xingluozhou, using Nuclear Explosion Pills to deal with beast tides was still highly effective.

After Ye Qingxuan finished his introduction.

The cultivators who already knew about the Nuclear Explosion Pills immediately began bidding: "35, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"45, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"120, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Ultimately, the Tier-5 Supreme Nuclear Explosion Pills were successfully acquired by Bai Qing'an for 120, 00 high-grade spirit stones.

After the auction of the Tier-5 Nuclear Explosion Pills concluded.

All Tier-5 items in this auction had been completely sold.

Next, it was time to auction Tier-6 items targeting Soul Transformation experts.

"A Tier-6 Low-Grade Soul Transformation Pill, with effects and side effects similar to the Infant-Forming Pill, so no further introduction is needed. Starting bid of 100, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

The Tier-6 Low-Grade Soul Transformation Pill could increase the success rate of a Nascent Soul breakthrough to Soul Transformation by thirty percent, but it had side effects.

A fifth-tier supreme-grade Enlightenment Pill, though it only increases the success rate of breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm by ten percent, has no side effects.

Which type of elixir cultivators prefer depends on their specific circumstances.

With the appearance of the Soul Transformation Elixir, some Nascent Soul peak experts with limited lifespans re-entered the bidding: "120, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"150, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"200, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

There were also some Nascent Soul experts confident in themselves, with ample lifespan or insufficient realm, who did not bid, silently watching others compete.

Among them was Bai Qing'an, who had previously participated in the bidding for the Enlightenment Pill.

Clearly, the sixth-tier low-grade Soul Transformation Elixir held less appeal for Bai Qing'an than the fifth-tier supreme-grade Enlightenment Pill.

"600, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

The bidder was the City Lord of Huangfeng City, Daoist Huangfeng.

Although Daoist Huangfeng had over five hundred years of lifespan remaining, he lacked confidence in comprehending the mysteries of the Soul Transformation realm and successfully breaking through within five hundred years.

Therefore, Daoist Huangfeng intended to secure the Soul Transformation Elixir first as a backup measure, ensuring preparedness against unforeseen circumstances.

Unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to take such an elixir that destroys one's future.

When breaking through a realm, if the spiritual power is impure, it affects one's foundation.

Even for ordinary cultivation advancement, taking such an elixir to increase one's cultivation base, resulting in impure spiritual power,

would similarly leave the expanded dantian walls and the body tempered by spiritual power imperfect.

If the dantian walls are imperfect, when a cultivator replenishes spiritual power, the spiritual power filtered and transformed from external spiritual energy by the dantian walls will no longer be as pure as before.

Using impure spiritual power to advance cultivation affects every aspect.

Let alone breaking through such a major realm.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one is willing to take such an elixir to break through.

Most of the cultivators participating in the auction for the Soul Transformation Elixir were Nascent Soul peak experts nearing the end of their lives.

Compared to the aftereffects of taking the Soul Transformation Elixir, they valued the hope and opportunity to break through even more.

"600, 00 high-grade spirit stones, first time."

600, 00 high-grade spirit stones were enough to make many Nascent Soul independent cultivators retreat in the face of difficulty.

So after Daoist Huangfeng bid 550, 00 high-grade spirit stones, the Nascent Soul experts who had been bidding previously stopped offering prices one after another.

"600, 00 high-grade."

"800, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Just as Ye Qingxuan was about to announce the second count, Cheng Yuan directly bid, interrupting Ye Qingxuan's countdown.

The Huangji Sect did not lack a Soul Transformation early-stage expert with no future.

However, having an additional Soul Transformation expert within the Huangji Sect's sphere of influence would significantly impact the sect's rule.

Securing the Soul Transformation Elixir directly would not only add a Soul Transformation expert to the Huangji Sect but also prevent a Soul Transformation expert from appearing in the outside world.

For Cheng Yuan, this was a very profitable deal.

Therefore, he directly bid 800, 00 high-grade spirit stones.

The goal was to end the matter quickly and cut off others' hopes.

"800, 00 high-grade spirit stones, first time. 800, 00 high-grade spirit stones, second time. 800, 00 high-grade spirit stones, third time. Sold."

After Cheng Yuan bid, Daoist Huangfeng immediately fell silent.
