337. Chapter 337: The Appearance of the Heaven-Defying Pill

"Now 1 million Spirit Stones, is there anyone higher?"

"1 million once!"

"1 million twice!"

Just as Old Qian was about to drop the hammer, Long Xuan's voice finally came: "I bid 1.01 million Spirit Stones!"

As his voice fell, the Gu cultivators below looked at the No. 1 VIP room in unison.

At this moment, Long Xuan showed a thoughtful look. He had just tried to copy this storage bag into an illusion, but it didn't succeed.

This shows that the level of the things in the storage bag is too high, and the Original Realm needs a very long time to copy successfully.

So although he didn't know what was in the storage bag, he still decided to gamble with 1.01 million Spirit Stones.

Old Qian looked at the No. 1 VIP room and smiled: "Now someone bid 1.01 million Spirit Stones, is there anyone higher!"

"This blind box can open any treasure, and it doesn't exclude the possibility of opening a Heaven-grade spirit medicine, you know?"

Seeing that no one below was bewitched by him, Old Qian was helpless and could only shout:

"1.01 million once!"

"1.01 million twice!"

"1.01 million three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the No. 1 VIP room!"

Old Qian dropped the small hammer in his hand, then placed the storage bag on the jade plate and let the maid send the storage bag to the distinguished guest in the No. 1 VIP room.

The Qian Clan Auction House has always been an on-site transaction to avoid a melee when auctioning the grand finale auction item, resulting in losing everything.

The maid knocked on the door and walked into the No. 1 VIP room. Long Xuan readily handed over 1.01 million Spirit Stones and then held this storage bag in his hand and kept playing with it.

This storage bag actually emitted a faint fragrance. It should belong to a beautiful woman. How could she be so careless and lose her own storage bag?

At this moment, the auction was still continuing. One auction item after another was brought up by the maid with a jade plate, and the bidding sounds below were one after another, and the scene was very hot.

Long Xuan also occasionally took action to auction some things useful to himself.

For example, some peerless strange poisons that seal the throat with blood. His Calamity Poison Gu needed to collect strange poisons from all over the world, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would collect strange poisons he hadn't seen before.

The things auctioned at this auction were truly varied, and there were treasures of all types.

Perhaps because this is the City of Sin, the auction house dared to auction anything.

Even other people's storage bags dared to be auctioned; what else did the auction house dare not auction?

Once, Long Xuan even saw a young girl pushed up. The girl was not old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate appearance, making people feel protective at first sight.

At this moment, all the animals at the scene turned into hungry wolves, and the bidding sounds were one after another. Finally, it could be exaggeratedly increased to 700,000. Long Xuan clicked his tongue.

And the auctioneer was smiling from ear to ear. Don't look at the transaction price compared to other treasures, 700,000 is not high.

But this girl has no cost. Although her transaction price is not the highest, the net profit is definitely the highest.

Long Xuan chose not to take action and sat quietly in the chair, waiting for the next auction item.

Time passed slowly. This auction seemed to be held temporarily, and there were not many auction items. After about two hours, this auction had already entered the end.

At this moment, the auction had already auctioned to the penultimate auction item.

Seeing the familiar thing brought up by the maid, Long Xuan instantly became energetic and sat up straight.

As soon as this seven-colored and glowing pill came out, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

This pill was not an ordinary product just from the appearance. This was the first time everyone had seen this pill, and they couldn't help but develop curiosity.

"What exactly is the effect of this pill? Don't keep us in suspense. I think the things brought out at the end of the auction are not ordinary products." Someone below immediately asked impatiently.

"Hehe!" Old Qian smiled: "Since someone is impatient, I won't keep you in suspense. This pill is called the Heaven-Defying Pill, and it once triggered a Heavenly Tribulation at the beginning of its birth."

"Hehe, what kind of heaven-defying effect does a spirit pill that can trigger a Heavenly Tribulation have?"

"The effect of this pill is to unconditionally improve the aptitude of Gu cultivators of the first four ranks by two grades, and it is equally effective for geniuses with Heaven-grade aptitude."

"After a genius with Heaven-grade aptitude swallows the Heaven-Defying Pill, their aptitude can be improved to the legendary Divine-grade."

As soon as this was said, the whole venue suddenly sounded a gasp.

Many people had already stood up from their seats, looking at the spirit pill flickering with colorful light on the table with burning eyes, and their greed was fully revealed.

At this moment, the auction was in chaos. A spirit pill that could trigger a Heavenly Tribulation only existed in legends, and this was the first time everyone had seen it. They were all shocked by the heaven-defying effect of this pill.

Improving aptitude means faster cultivation speed, higher combat power, and a greater possibility of breaking through to a higher realm in the future.

Many of them can achieve Heaven-grade aptitude after swallowing this pill, or even the legendary Divine-grade aptitude.

In front of this pill, how could the Gu cultivators in the audience be calm? Everyone revealed a look of madness.

At this moment, in the No. 10 VIP room, Long Xing slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Damn it, such a heaven-defying treasure appeared at the auction, and I only found out now!"

"I didn't prepare so many Spirit Stones at all, so I can't compete with those people."

A delicate-looking female Gu cultivator beside her said carefully: "Why don't we mobilize Spirit Stones from that side as soon as possible through the Straw Gu Hut!"

"It's too late." Long Xing stood up straight quickly and said anxiously: "Can the Spirit Stones of the national treasury be mobilized just because I say so?"

"Auctioning a treasure will end very quickly, and it's too late in terms of time."

"You immediately pass this news back. Since this treasure cannot be auctioned through bidding, then we can only rely on grabbing."

Long Xing clenched his fists, looking at the seven-colored pill with burning eyes, not hiding the greed in his heart at all.

In the No. 4 VIP room, the teacup in the Burial Demon Old Ghost's hand shattered in response. Looking at the seven-colored pill on the auction table, even though he had seen many big scenes, his breathing became rapid at this moment, and he was uncomposed for the first time.

"Sect Master! Should we give up the competition for the Holy Tree and turn to go all out to compete for this Heaven-Defying Pill?"

A black-clad Gu cultivator beside him said in a low voice.

The Burial Demon Old Ghost narrowed his eyes, and his gaze was sharp: "No! Whether it's the Heaven-Defying Pill or the Holy Tree, I want them all!"

"But I have no way to pursue and kill two people at the same time. We must auction one of the treasures with Spirit Stones."

"First compete for this Heaven-Defying Pill. If the Heaven-Defying Pill cannot be taken, then compete for the Holy Tree. With our financial resources, we can always auction one of them."

"Hehe, this is the first time in my life I've seen a pill that can trigger a thunder tribulation." The Burial Demon Old Ghost revealed an excited smile and laughed: "Black Mountain Old Man and White-Faced Scholar would never have thought that such a heaven-defying treasure would appear at the auction, right?"

"Otherwise, they would have rushed over at full speed at any cost. They lost a lot by not coming this time."

"However, this also made it cheaper for me. Since they didn't come, my only competitor is that Jade-Faced Rakshasa."

The Burial Demon Old Ghost looked at the No. 3 VIP room, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Seeming to have detected this gaze, the Jade-Faced Rakshasa revealed a sneer.

"Hmph, this Heaven-Defying Pill really aroused the greed of this old guy."

"I want to see how you compete with me." The cold light in her eyes flashed and disappeared.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Old Qian looked at the uncomposed expressions of the Gu cultivators below and said with a smile: "I have appraised this pill with the Golden Pupil, and I guarantee there is no exaggeration."

"Now this pill starts at a price of 1 billion. The bidding begins!"

As soon as his voice fell, someone in the crowd shouted impatiently: "I bid 2 billion Spirit Stones!"

"I bid 3 billion!" As soon as his voice fell, another voice followed closely.

"I bid 6 billion!" Just at this moment, someone actually doubled the price directly.

Everyone looked at the No. 3 VIP room, their eyes revealing looks of fear, and for a time, no one dared to bid.

But there were still people who were not afraid of the Jade-Faced Rakshasa. An old voice soon came from the No. 4 VIP room.

"Hehe! Not many people can take out 6 billion. How many people did you kill to save up so many Spirit Stones? I bid 6.1 billion Spirit Stones!"

"Don't you dare frame me. My Spirit Stones were clearly earned by the true self one by one. When have I ever killed for treasure?"

"You said my 6 billion Spirit Stones were saved by killing for treasure, then where did your 6.1 billion Spirit Stones come from?"

The Jade-Faced Rakshasa glanced at the No. 4 VIP room and said disdainfully.

"Naturally, it was earned by the old man doing business. I obtained the inheritance of the ghost cultivator, so I created the Ghost Gate and recruited disciples widely. It is reasonable for me to earn so much by collecting tuition fees, right?"

"Yo! That sounds high and mighty, then tell me how your dozen or so Ghost Kings were refined?"

"The essence of a ghost is a human soul. You killed a large number of Gu Kings to refine Ghost Kings. Whose body are the storage bags of those Gu Kings on now?" The Jade-Faced Rakshasa sneered.

Hearing the dispute between these two great demons, Long Xuan looked toward the No. 4 VIP room and slowly revealed a look of curiosity.

The Gu World is almost all Gu cultivators, and there are too few other professions. This was his first time seeing a ghost cultivator.

If the method of Gu cultivators is to control Gu, then the method of ghost cultivators is to control ghosts.

And similar to Gu cultivators, ghost cultivators can seal ghosts in their own bodies to obtain the abilities of ghosts, or summon ghosts for external battles.

The essence of a ghost is a human soul, and refining ghosts means killing people.

And refining ghosts also has a success rate; often, many people have to be killed to refine one ghost.

And this Burial Demon Old Ghost has actually refined more than a dozen Ghost Kings. Then how many Gu Kings has he slaughtered, and how strong can his combat power be?

Long Xuan looked at the No. 4 VIP room with deep dread in his eyes.

However, just when he was lost in thought, another old voice came from the No. 2 VIP room next door.

"I bid 8 billion Spirit Stones!"

As soon as this was said, the bickering sound between the Jade-Faced Rakshasa and the Burial Demon Old Ghost finally disappeared, and both of them revealed gloomy faces.

Long Xuan was also stunned. Someone actually dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and was not afraid of these two old demons at all.

He hurriedly looked toward the No. 2 VIP room. He wanted to see who was not afraid of death and was so brave.

However, when he saw that familiar progress bar, Long Xuan's expression became strange, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Before, when he was appraising treasures in the treasure appraisal room, he detected an invisible person. The progress bar of this invisible person was exactly the same as this person's.

He was curious now. Did the people of the Qian Clan Auction House disguise themselves as customers to participate in the bidding for treasures again? Are they addicted to disguising as customers? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 338 =====
