820. Chapter 818: Super Strong Pill Formula

Su Liyan gently patted Xiao Wei's shoulder: "Xiao Wei, your soul power is still insufficient; for now we shouldn't take risks."

Although Xiao Wei felt a bit disappointed, she obediently nodded, knowing that her senior sister's decision was for her own good.

The auctioneer loudly announced: "This puppet beast, nearly of sixth-grade spirit beast level, has an opening bid of two thousand taels of silver!"

As the bidding calls rang out, the entire auction hall instantly boiled over, with people vying to bid, the atmosphere extremely intense.

Lu Yuan watched this scene, his heart also filled with anticipation and nervousness.

In the second round of bidding, the situation eased slightly, but the price remained high.

Next, the auctioneer loudly announced: "The next item up for auction is a mysterious pill formula that can help cultivators withstand heavenly tribulation lightning when they undergo tribulation!"

This news immediately caused a stir among the cultivators present, and everyone's gaze gathered on the auction stage.

The auctioneer continued to introduce: "Although this pill formula has not been verified, rumors say it has miraculous effects, attracting widespread attention."

"The opening bid is ten million middle-grade spirit stones!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, the entire auction hall fell into a hush, immediately followed by a clamor.

The cultivators began bidding one after another, wanting to obtain this mysterious pill formula.

Lu Yuan looked at the pill formula on the stage, silently pondering.

Such a pill formula undoubtedly holds great significance for cultivators, able to provide a layer of protection during tribulation, making it extremely tempting.

Su Liyan softly said to Lu Yuan: "This pill formula is also important to us; we must find a way to secure it."

Her eyes revealed determination and resolve.

Lu Yuan nodded, his gaze fixed firmly on the auction stage.

He deeply understood the preciousness of this pill formula, and also knew how fierce the bidding would be.

But he did not fear the challenge, for he had confidence he could obtain this pill formula.

At the Ziyun Clan's seats, Zi Cui Ling gazed deeply at the auction stage, knowing the importance of this pill formula for cultivators.

She resolved to bring this pill formula back to the clan to provide greater security for her people.

As the bidding proceeded, the price kept climbing, and the competition among cultivators grew fierce.

Each bid increase was accompanied by a clamor and discussion, the atmosphere unusually tense.

In this environment, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan displayed their strength and determination.

Their bidding remained steady and resolute, undisturbed by external clamor.

Finally, when the price reached sixteen million middle-grade spirit stones, the bidding sounds gradually subsided.

At this point, only Lu Yuan and Zi Cui Ling remained competing for this pill formula.

Zi Cui Ling calmly looked at Lu Yuan, knowing his strength should not be underestimated.

She made up her mind and raised the bid again: "Twenty million middle-grade spirit stones!"

Facing this sudden increase, Lu Yuan slightly furrowed his brow, but without hesitation he shouted: "Twenty-one million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The atmosphere on site instantly tensed, with everyone awaiting the next result.

The clan leader of the Ziyun Clan, Zi Xi'er, slightly furrowed her brows, realizing this competition had surpassed her expectations.

She looked at Zi Cui Ling, hoping to secure this pill formula.

Zi Cui Ling did not expect Lu Yuan to raise the bid again; a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

However, she had no intention of giving up easily; she took a deep breath and resolved: "Twenty-two million middle-grade spirit stones!"

This time, Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment.

He knew that raising the bid further might exceed his capacity.

Yet his desire for this pill formula led him to decide not to retreat.

He resolutely shouted: "Twenty-three million middle-grade spirit stones!"

Zi Cui Ling's brows knit tightly, and she began to feel somewhat embarrassed.

She understood that raising the bid again could place significant financial pressure on the Ziyun Clan.

Yet she also did not want to give up lightly; she made up her mind: "Twenty-three point five million middle-grade spirit stones!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, knowing that raising the bid further would exceed his limit.

However, he did not want to let this pill formula slip away.

A glint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Twenty-four million middle-grade spirit stones!"

Zi Cui Ling's complexion slightly changed; she knew that raising the bid further would impose a heavy burden on the Ziyun Clan.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally decided: "Twenty-four point five million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The atmosphere on site solidified, with everyone holding their breath, awaiting the final result.

Lu Yuan clenched his fists, knowing that raising the bid further would be a gamble.

Yet he also realized that if he gave up this pill formula, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He made up his mind and said: "Twenty-four point five one million middle-grade spirit stones!"

Zi Cui Ling's face turned pale; she knew that raising the bid further had already exceeded her capability.

She helplessly shook her head and gave up continuing the bidding.

She looked at Lu Yuan, a flash of admiration appearing in her eyes.

The auctioneer loudly announced: "Congratulations to Lei Huo Dan Ge for securing this pill formula with twenty-four point five one million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The hall erupted in cheers, as Lu Yuan and Su Liyan embraced each other to celebrate the victory.

They successfully obtained this pill formula, adding a safeguard to their cultivation path.

Next, Lu Yuan successfully sold a special pill formula he had meticulously refined; the amount of spirit stones boosted his confidence for future auctions.

He decided to use the spirit stones gained from this auction to vie for an extremely precious seventh-grade peak Azure Sea Crystal.

This piece of Azure Sea Crystal is not only extremely rare in the cultivation world, but also possesses a special effect that makes cultivators yearn for it.

At the auction site, all the cultivators' gazes were focused on this Azure Sea Crystal, the atmosphere tense yet excited.

Lu Yuan gazed at the Azure Sea Crystal displayed on the stage, secretly sighing at its beauty and value.

He took a deep breath, determined to win this treasure with the highest bid.

"Opening bid: one million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The auctioneer announced loudly.

Lu Yuan raised his hand without hesitation: "One and a half million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The cultivators present all threw out bids, and the price quickly rose.

Lu Yuan's competition with the other bidders grew increasingly fierce, each bid tugging at people's heartstrings.

However, as the price approached Lu Yuan's limit, a familiar voice sounded.

"Two and a half million middle-grade spirit stones!"

A cold and solemn voice came over, causing everyone present to glance sideways.

Lu Yuan lifted his head toward the source of the voice, only to see True Lord Po Tian standing in the crowd beneath a black robe, his gaze firm and cold.

He decided to compete with Lu Yuan again.

"Two million seven hundred fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

Lu Yuan announced his resolve without showing any weakness.

True Lord Po Tian smiled slightly, a provocative glint flashing in his eyes: "Three million middle-grade spirit stones!"

The venue fell silent, everyone staring in astonishment at this fierce bidding. (End of chapter)
