Chapter 682: Chapter 673: Qiongqi Essence Blood

As time passed, the auction hall grew increasingly noisy.

Soon, the third, fourth, and fifth items were auctioned off, each finding an owner amidst the mallet’s final call.

The competition became more and more fierce, and naturally, the prices shouted were higher and higher.

However, during this time, Mo Wangchen had indeed never participated in the bidding.

Because none of the items that were brought out for auction thus far had sparked his interest.

It wasn’t until the auction was more than halfway through, and the ninth item was brought out, that the atmosphere changed. On the auction stage, Lin Xiaxue, with a charming smile and a clear, resonant voice that filled the entire hall, announced, "The next item for auction, the ninth item, is a drop of Qiongqi Essence Blood!"

"Surely everyone present knows that Qiongqi was one of the Ancient King families, just that they did not reside in Heavenly Gang, but in a certain plane of the Lower Realm..."

"This drop of Essence Blood comes from an Ancient Fierce Beast, a great power within the Qiongqi clan, trapped under the land of Heavenly Gang thousands of years ago. It was saved by one of our Human Clan’s predecessors, who acquired this drop of Essence Blood."

"As an Ancient Fierce Beast capable of fighting True Dragons, you should all understand the rarity and value of this drop of Essence Blood."

"The starting bid is three million Spirit Stones, with each increment not to fall below one hundred thousand!" Lin Xiaxue finally declared.

"A drop of Qiongqi Essence Blood!"

"Qiongqi was one of the Ancient King families, and it was rumored that they ruled over Heavenly Gang for a long period in the past. Their bloodline is said to be even rarer than that of True Dragons."

After hearing Lin Xiaxue’s words, the entire venue instantly erupted into an uproar.

"The Qiongqi clan has long lost its ancient glory, now relegated to the Lower Realm, it’s said they don’t even have an Immortal Realm Great Power presiding over them."

"This drop of Essence Blood, being from the Ancient Fierce Beast of the Qiongqi tribe thousands of years ago, highlights its preciousness—it is definitely not inferior to that of an Essence Blood from a peak Immortal Realm Great Power of the Dragon Clan!"

Many gazes were bright and sharp, a flicker of eagerness passing through their eyes—this drop of Essence Blood indeed caused a huge sensation.

"Essence Blood of a Qiongqi clan’s great power, huh..."

On the second floor’s pavilion, within the Number Six private room, Mo Wangchen’s eyes also flashed with a sharp gleam.

He was determined to obtain this drop of Essence Blood; if he could directly refine it, his strength would surely surge once again, its effect absolutely not inferior to the drop of True Dragon Blood Essence he refined not long ago!

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

"Three million eight hundred thousand!"

"Four million Spirit Stones!"

Quickly, the bidding began, with many people joining the fray.

Quite obviously, a drop of Essence Blood from a Qiongqi clan’s great power was enough to make many hearts race.

In just less than a few tens of breaths, the price had reached five million!

None in the crowd were willing to concede, each unwilling to miss the chance to obtain this drop of Essence Blood.

"Six million!"

While the competition in the hall was incredibly fierce, finally, from within one of the second-floor’s private rooms, a voice emerged.

Directly increasing the bid from five million Spirit Stones to six million was a bold move flaunting one’s wealth.

"Six million five hundred thousand!"

Another voice followed, also coming from a private room on the second floor.

"Seven million Spirit Stones!"

A voice, tinged with a hint of time-worn experience, rang out, stirring the hearts of everyone present and causing all eyes to sharpen instinctively. Without a doubt, the person who had just called out the bid was a distinguished individual who had reached the Peak of Void Immortal Realm.

The hall fell silent for three breaths, no one spoke, only to hear the great power from the Void Immortal Realm speak again, "Everyone, I am the Great Elder of the Huatian Sect, I hope you will show some face and let me have this drop of Qiongqi Essence Blood, what say you?"

"Haha, so it’s a Daoist Fellow from Huatian Sect, no wonder I found the voice familiar just now."

As soon as those words fell, another voice sounded, this time from a private room on the second floor, "I’m truly sorry, but my Yun Dao Sect also needs this Qiongqi Essence Blood today, I’m afraid I cannot yield it, seven million five hundred thousand!"

"So it’s a friend from Yun Dao Sect, in that case, let’s all speak based on our abilities then." The Great Elder of the Huatian Sect said this, his voice slightly cold, clearly annoyed that the other party did not show him face, "Eight million Spirit Stones!"

"Pfft, you two Daoist Fellows really are willing to spend big, in that case, my Ming King Sect can’t afford to lose face either, right?" From another private room, a light chuckle was heard, "Eight million five hundred thousand!"

"Huatian Sect, Yun Dao Sect, Ming King Sect..."

Hearing the three factions competing, many people inside the auction hall quieted down.

"It’s the people from the second floor who are bidding, now it seems that this Qiongqi Essence Blood is destined to elude us." The Cultivators sitting in the main hall said this.

After all, those who could enter the private rooms on the second floor were all individuals of great standing, whose financial power naturally was not something these people could compare with. How could they contend with others?

"Elder sirs, this essence blood is extremely important to me, may I ask if you could yield it to me?"

Just then, from the direction of private room number one, a voice suddenly emerged.

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s gaze subconsciously turned, and it was not hard to discern that the person who had just spoken was not old.

Yet the voice was powerful and clear, clearly indicating that their Cultivation was not low, surpassing most of the people present by quite a margin.

"My name is Divine Son Bai Le of Xiaotian Sect, I bid ten million for this drop of essence blood. I hope the elder sirs will show some face and yield it to me. In the future, I will surely return the favor manifold!"

"Divine Son Bai Le of Xiaotian Sect?"

"So it’s him, he’s come here as well, it’s rumored that Bai Le has already reached the sixth level of Emperor Realm, if he obtains this essence blood, he will surely be able to successfully charge into the seventh level of Emperor Realm and step into the phase of Emperor Realm Great Mahayana. At that point, Bai Le’s strength will experience a substantial leap!"

The Emperor Realm has nine levels, divided into three stages.

Levels one to three are considered Small Mahayana, four to six are Middle Stage, and seven to nine are considered Mahayana.

Between each stage lies a significant threshold, and to cross over means an elevation in Cultivation.

"So it’s Disciple Nephew Bai Le."

"With Xiaotian Saint Master on the verge of advancing to True Immortal status, Disciple Nephew Bai Le, having meditated under him for decades with exceptional Talent, will surely be able to successfully charge into Emperor Realm Great Mahayana with this essence blood. Why then should I mind yielding?"

"You’re right, the Disciple Nephew is a peerless individual of our times, and having pledged himself to Xiaotian Saint Master, his future achievements will certainly be boundless. I shall play the part of the matchmaker and not compete further."

The three Immortal Realm Great Powers from Huatian Sect, Ming King Sect, and Yun Dao Sect all subsequently spoke, their words brimming with courtesy.

Xiaotian Sect, among All Holy Lands, is known to possess formidable strength, and its Saint Master has even reached the Peak of Void Immortal Realm, ready at any time to advance to True Immortal status, ranking among the supreme powers of the age.

When that time comes, the prestige of the entire Xiaotian Sect in Central State will surely be uplifted several notches.

And as the Divine Son, Bai Le is the prime candidate for the next Saint Master; it was clear that they all were unwilling to offend.

"Many thanks!"

From within private room number one, the voice of Bai Le came forth. He, dressed in purple, walked to the window of the private room, looking every inch the handsome talent.

His eyes settled on Lin Xiaxue, who wore a pale pink dress, and said with a light smile, "Miss Lin, my offer is ten million."
