Therefore, the auction held by the Extreme Bliss Palace naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.

Thus: "Therefore, the auction held by the Extreme Bliss Palace naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators."

And the reason the Extreme Bliss Palace does this is simple: to increase its influence in Wuji Xiancheng.

"As for why the Extreme Bliss Palace does this, its purpose is simple: to increase its influence in Wuji Xiancheng."

After all, the Extreme Bliss Palace's influence had never before reached Wuji Xiancheng.

"After all, before this, the Extreme Bliss Palace's influence had never reached Wuji Xiancheng."

This time, it is also thanks to the Li family that the Extreme Bliss Palace has gotten the chance to intervene in Wuji Xiancheng.

"This time, thanks to the Li family's blessing, the Extreme Bliss Palace got a chance to intervene in Wuji Xiancheng."

Qi Xiong and Hong Zun, accompanied by Zuo Fu, arrived at the thirty-third floor.

"Qi Xiong and Hong Zun, accompanied by Zuo Fu, came to San Shi San Lou."

San Shi San Lou

The thirty-third floor, a lofty restaurant that reaches the clouds, truly shocks people.

"San Shi San Lou, a towering restaurant that reaches the clouds, is indeed shocking."

The thirty-third floor, a lofty restaurant that reaches the clouds, truly shocks people.

It is said that the cost of constructing this tall building alone is an astronomical figure, let alone the fact that the materials used are top-notch.

"It is said that just the cost of constructing this tall building is an astronomical figure, let alone the top-notch materials used."

Speaking solely of decoration, the cafeteria definitely cannot compare to the thirty-third floor.

"Speaking of decoration alone, the Canteen certainly cannot compare to San Shi San Lou."

At this moment, outside the thirty-third floor, many cultivators have gathered, all queuing up to enter.

"At this moment, outside San Shi San Lou, many cultivators have gathered, all queuing to enter."

Qi Xiong and his companions also followed the crowd.

"Qi Xiong and his companions also followed the crowd."

But when the three arrived at the entrance, this elder of the Extreme Bliss Palace furrowed his brow and spoke coldly.

"But when the three reached the entrance, this Extreme Bliss Palace elder furrowed his brows and spoke coldly."

"What are you doing here?"

""What are you doing here?""

Obviously recognizing their identities, the Extreme Bliss Palace's auction—what are people from the Dao Yi Immortal Sect doing here?

"Obviously recognizing their identity, why would people from the Dao One Immortal Sect come to an auction held by the Extreme Bliss Palace?"

You should know that the Second Ancestor hates the Dao Yi Immortal Sect to the point of gnashing his teeth; if it weren't for Elder Huang, he would have already taken action.

"You should know that the Second Ancestor hates the Dao One Immortal Sect so much he grits his teeth; if not for Huang Lao, he would have already attacked."

In response, Qi Xiong remained silent, while Zuo Fu let out a cold snort and said.

"In response, Qi Xiong said nothing, but Zuo Fu let out a cold snort and said."

"How come, can't we go in?"

""How so, cannot enter?""

As they spoke, a wisp of aura enveloped the Extreme Bliss Palace elder, instantly making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to muster even a trace of resistance.

"As he spoke, a wisp of aura enveloped the Extreme Bliss Palace elder, instantly making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, unable to muster even a trace of resistance."

Looking at Zuo Fu with fear, even though unwilling, the Extreme Bliss Palace elder obediently nodded and said.

"Looking at Zuo Fu with fear, even though unwilling, the Extreme Bliss Palace elder obediently nodded and said."

"Yes, senior, please."

""Yes, senior, please.""

The three successfully entered the thirty-third floor, then spent ten thousand immortal crystals to reserve a private room, not sitting in the main hall.

"The three successfully entered San Shi San Lou, then spent ten thousand immortal crystals to reserve a private room, not sitting in the main hall."

Ten thousand immortal crystals isn't expensive; Qi Xiong currently has millions of immortal crystals on him.

"Ten thousand immortal crystals is not expensive; Qi Xiong currently has several million immortal crystals on him."

Inside the private room, Qi Xiong and Hong Zun waited for the auction to begin, while Zuo Fu lounged lazily on a recliner, sipping fine wine.

"Inside the private room, Qi Xiong and Hong Zun waited for the auction to start, while Zuo Fu lazily leaned on a recliner, drinking fine wine."

He has little interest in this auction, and it's unlikely that any treasure worthy of his eye will appear.

"He has little interest in this auction, and it's unlikely any treasure that catches his eye will appear."

At Zuo Fu's level, treasures that catch his eye are exceedingly rare, and even if they exist, they wouldn't show up in such an auction.

"At Zuo Fu's level, treasures worthy of his eye are exceedingly rare; even if they exist, they wouldn't appear in such an auction."

Zuo Fu was merely entrusted by Ye Changqing to come here; he only needs to ensure the safety of Qi Xiong and Hong Zun, and has nothing else to worry about.

"Zuo Fu is here only at the entrustment of Ye Zhangqing; he only needs to protect Qi Xiong and Hong Zun's safety, and has nothing else to do."

In the hall below, it quickly filled with people.

"In the main hall below, it was soon filled with people."

Moreover, many people had a courtesan seated beside them.

"Moreover, many people had a courtesan seated beside them."

As expected of the thirty-third floor, even the auction doesn't miss a chance; these courtesans naturally charge money, yet there are still plenty of patrons.

"As expected of San Shi San Lou, even the auction is not missed; these courtesans naturally charge money, yet there are still many who request them."

Auctioning treasures while enjoying beautiful companions is truly one of life's great fortunes.

"To auction treasures while enjoying beauties is indeed a great fortune in life."

Soon the auction began, and the first item up was an immortal pill.

"Soon the auction began, and the first item was an immortal pill."

Called the Ascension Pill, its effect is simple: it helps Ancestral Realm cultivators increase their chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm.

"It is called the Ascension Pill; its effect is simple: it helps Ancestor Realm cultivators increase the chance of breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

Depending on its quality, the increase in probability varies.

"Depending on its quality, the increase varies."

A ordinary Ascension Pill typically increases the chance by about thirty percent, a superior one by fifty percent, and a perfect one by seventy percent.

"A common Ascension Pill increases the chance by about thirty percent; a superior one by fifty percent; a perfect one by seventy percent."

Upon seeing this auctioned Ascension Pill, Qi Xiong immediately became interested.

"Upon seeing this auctioned immortal pill, Qi Xiong immediately became interested."

This item is just right for them and their fellow disciples.

"This item is just right for them, fellow disciples."

These days, their fellow disciples are all at the Ancestral Realm, busy trying to break through to the Immortal Realm.

"Nowadays, these fellow disciples are all at the Ancestor Realm, busy breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

If they had an Ascension Pill, it would surely save them a lot of time and directly help them break through to the Immortal Realm.

"If they had Ascension Pills, they would surely save a lot of time and directly assist them in breaking through to the Immortal Realm."

Originally they planned to go to the Pill King Immortal City when they had time to buy medicinal pills, but they didn't expect to encounter one here.

"We originally planned to go to Pill King Immortal City when we had time, just to buy pills, but we didn't expect to encounter them here."

Moreover, this is a perfect-quality Ascension Pill, capable of increasing the success rate by seventy percent.

"Moreover, this is a perfect-quality Ascension Pill, capable of increasing the success rate by seventy percent."

Gazing intently at the Ascension Pill on the tray below, Qi Xiong was determined to obtain it.

"Gazing fervently at the Ascension Pill on the tray below, Qi Xiong was determined to obtain it."

This Ascension Pill, for the Dao Yi Immortal Sect, is equivalent to an Immortal Realm cultivator.

"This Ascension Pill, for the Dao One Immortal Sect, is equivalent to an Immortal Realm cultivator."

Most importantly, their fellow disciples are extremely eager to advance.

"The most important thing is that these fellow disciples truly desire advancement."

As the sect's sect leader and elder, with Ancestral Realm cultivation, yet still lower than his disciples, it's really hard to justify.

"As the Sect Master and Elder of the sect, with Ancestor Realm cultivation, yet still lower than the disciples, it's really hard to justify."

In order to break through, their fellow disciples have been training day and night without rest; even Hong Zun has been drinking less, cutting back by a sip or two each day.

"To break through, these fellow disciples have been painstakingly cultivating day and night; even Hong Zun drinks a little less alcohol each day."

Thus, as the auctioneer opened bidding, when the starting price of thirty thousand spirit stones was announced, Qi Xiong hesitated not and spoke up immediately.

"Thus, as the auctioneer opened bidding, with the starting price at thirty thousand spirit stones, Qi Xiong hesitated not and spoke directly."

"Thirty thousand immortal crystals."

""Thirty thousand immortal crystals.""

Hearing the voice from inside the private room, the auctioneer smiled, lifted his gaze, and then spoke solemnly.

"Hearing the voice from inside the private room, the auctioneer smiled, lifted his head to glance, then spoke solemnly."

"Thirty thousand immortal crystals, once."

""Thirty thousand immortal crystals, once.""

The private rooms are separated from the outside; one can see the outside from within, but from outside, due to the formation's obstruction, one cannot see inside.

"The private room is separated from the outside; one can see the outside from inside, but from outside, due to the Formation's obstruction, one cannot see inside."

It can be said that the privacy is very high.

"It can be said that the privacy is very high."

Moreover, even the auctioneer does not know the identity of each private room's occupant, let alone the other guests at the auction.

"Moreover, even the auctioneer does not know the identity of each private room's occupant, let alone the other auction attendees."

However, thirty thousand in cash is clearly insufficient to secure this Ascension Pill.

"However, thirty thousand in cash is clearly insufficient to secure this Ascension Pill."

Although the Ascension Pill is useless for high-level cultivators, buying it to give to juniors is also acceptable.

"Although the Ascension Pill is useless for high-level cultivators, buying it to give to juniors is also acceptable."

Thus, as soon as Qi Xiong's words fell, someone quickly raised the bid.

"So, as soon as Qi Xiong's words fell, someone quickly raised the bid."

"Forty thousand immortal crystals."

""Forty thousand immortal crystals.""

In response, Qi Xiong didn't bluff and directly bid fifty thousand.

"In response, Qi Xiong was not lacking, directly bidding fifty thousand."

Afterward, more people joined in, but these bidders were conservative, each increase being only about one or two thousand.

"Afterward, more people joined in, but these individuals were conservative, each raise being around one or two thousand."

Finally, when the price reached seventy thousand immortal crystals, the only competitors left were Qi Xiong and the cultivator who had started the bidding.

"Finally, when the price reached seventy thousand immortal crystals, the only competitors left were Qi Xiong and that initial cultivator."

This cultivator is of Immortal King realm cultivation; this Ascension Pill is obviously useless for him, it was bought to give away.

So seventy thousand Immortal Crystals was already the limit he had expected in his heart.

But Qi Xiong had no hesitation, and added another five thousand traps.

As that cultivator gave up, this Ascension Pill was finally successfully won by Qi Xiong.

Inside the private chamber, a dedicated person handles on-site collection of Immortal Crystals, and the purchased items will also be swiftly delivered by a dedicated person.

Seventy-five thousand Immortal Crystals isn't a major loss, but it's definitely not a gain either—it's overpriced by a few thousand Immortal Crystals.

However, Qi Xiong couldn't care less; a mere seventy-five thousand Immortal Crystals is just a drop in the bucket for his current wealth.

Feeling rich is great—when bidding, he doesn't even blink.

"Junior Brother, this pill is for you."

Qi Xiong gave this Ascension Pill to Hong Zun; Hong Zun originally wanted to give something to Qi Xiong in return, but he declined, saying there will be plenty of opportunities later—just wait until we go to Pill King Immortal City.

Anyway, as fellow brothers, it doesn't matter who breaks through first or later.

"The next auction item is a bottle of ten top-quality Ascension Pills, with a starting bid of five hundred thousand Immortal Crystals."

Huh???

Just as they were speaking, the second auction item arrived—another Ascension Pill.

But this time it's a bulk auction—a bottle, exactly ten pills. Hearing this, Qi Xiong turned his head and wondered, "Does Ultimate Bliss Palace know what our Dao One Immortal Sect needs?"

Two rounds of Ascension Pills in a row—do they know that we brothers currently lack exactly this? How thoughtful.

As for this bottle of Ascension Pills, Qi Xiong is also determined to obtain it.
