spread through the hall as people realized the implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one pill and four million gold had already changed hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, many couldn't help but think-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a single pill could command such a price...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then how much wealth did the Vermillion Pill Empire truly possess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For years, they had monopolized pills of this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accumulated resources beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of wealth, the Vermillion Pill Empire should be the richest in the Region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wealth might soon be snatched by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction continued, and the Mu Clan presented four more Grade-7 pills, each sold for more than 3.5 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, the Mu Clan had made almost 20 million from the Grade-7 pills alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had nearly doubled their treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued, there was no doubt that the Mu Clan's wealth would become untouchable within the Desolate Heaven Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there were also other artifacts that were sold for a good price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those artifacts weren't theirs-they belonged to Bai Zihan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan had many artifacts that he didn't use, and seeing this as an opportunity to sell them, he put them up for auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Totalling everything, he gained almost 10 million gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he needed so much money was to procure materials for alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Mu Tianxuan, there were already two more alchemists within the Mu Clan who had successfully stepped into the Grade-7 realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this news was kept strictly hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to reveal everything at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they had shown tonight was enough to shake the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point forward, the Mu Clan would focus on refining Grade-7 pills in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>large quantities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone was enough to alter the balance of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even with all their current strength, there was still a clear limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, although the changes brought by three Grandmasters would\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>be significant, Bai Zihan still didn't think it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To bring about even more significant changes, Bai Zihan knew that he had to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rely on Grade-8 pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only he had the knowledge and skill to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even then, skill alone was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials required for such pills were far too rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even gathering enough for a single refinement was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he needed a large amount of money to gather the materials required\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to refine Grade-8 pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan had already begun planning ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of these pills was not just profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to use these high-grade pills to elevate the strength of the Bai Clan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as a whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Ascension Tempering Pill alone could significantly increase the chances of stepping into the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also other pills-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pills that could aid those who had already stepped into the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Immortal to Earth Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Earth Immortal to Golden Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pill that he was aiming to refine was precisely the one that could help Earth Immortal Realm to breakthrough to Golden Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there was a single Golden Immortal cultivator in their clan, they would\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>be invincible in the region-and it might even be possible to contend with someone like Qin Lingxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if reaching the Golden Immortal Realm was not possible, increasing the number of Earth Immortals would still greatly improve their chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With enemies becoming stronger, he knew he had to be prepared to face them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raise the Bai Clan to an untouchable level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So strong that even forces from other regions would not dare step into their\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>territory lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they did, they would be dealt with without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With resources, alchemy, and strength all converging, Bai Zihan was laying the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>foundation for something far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just dominance within the Desolate Heaven Empire-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But absolute control over the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction finally came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike an ordinary conclusion, the atmosphere remained charged with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lingering excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as the last item was taken away, the crowd had yet to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussions continued in low voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes still flickered with anticipation, greed... and calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingyuan stepped forward once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile rested on his face as he cupped his hands. \"Honored guests, today's celebration and auction have come to a close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried warmth, yet also authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has been our Mu Clan's honor to host you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, the guests returned the gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader Mu is too polite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has truly been an eye-opening experience.\" \"Congratulations once again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices of praise and congratulations echoed through the hall as people began\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beneath those polite exchanges, everyone was calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight had not only been a celebration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rise of the Mu Clan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the shifting of power within the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some left with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Vermillion Pill Empire delegation stood out the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Zhouchen gave a brief, courteous farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clan Leader Mu, we will take our leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Qingyuan nodded with a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Safe travels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more words were exchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet both sides understood-this was far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked out of the hall, the expressions of the Vermillion Pill Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>members turned noticeably colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier composure had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replaced by
