Chapter 444: Chapter 397: Saint Master Level Auction Gala

A grand auction event unparalleled in history was about to be held, a Saint Lord Level auction extravaganza.

This was a secret message obtained by Zhao Tianyi, who learned that before heading to the Divine Death Mountain Range, a world-attention-grabbing auction event would be held in Heavenly Saint City that very night. At that time, numerous sacred treasures would go under the hammer, including some unprecedented exotic medicines, top-grade divine materials, and priceless divine treasures.

This was no ordinary auction; the unprecedented grandeur and attention it commanded involved participation from various Immortal Sacred Lands, a rarity across the Ten Thousand Domains, earning it the appellation of a Saint Lord Level auction event, to be held within the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly God Palace in Heavenly Saint City.

The secret message Zhao Tianyi received informed him that the auction would feature top-class treasures unseen elsewhere in the world, including primary divine materials used to forge Heavenly King Level Dao Ancient Weapons, and Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures capable of life-extension, gathering countless rarities from all over the world, an event of unparalleled magnificence.

It was even said that treasures related to Emperors and Sovereigns from the Mythical Era might appear.

The auction was going to be intensely competitive, with participation from various Immortal Forces, and even the emergence of some hidden powerhouses renowned across the Ten Thousand Domains.

Moreover, Zhao Tianyi learned from an unknown channel that the auction had ties to the Purple Mansion Sacred Land; all major Immortal Sacred Lands would make full preparations before venturing deeper, taking exotic medicines primarily, which could prove life-saving at critical moments.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen’s heart stirred with excitement. He asked Zhao Tianyi how to contact the Heavenly God Palace. He too wanted to auction off some millennial Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Pills, perhaps fetching an unimaginable high price at the auction.

After all, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land was too mysterious, and no one knew what kind of Great Evil it concealed within. Exotic medicines, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and wonderful Immortal Pills were all important for preserving life.

At such an age, who among these Holy Land Masters wouldn’t cherish their life, they would surely stop at nothing to bid.

Auctioning the corresponding treasures at this time would definitely see their prices multiply several times over, presenting a great opportunity to earn Spirit Stones.

Zhao Tianyi wasn’t surprised about Ye Chen possessing several millennial Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Pills; those who stood out from the multitude of Heavenly Prides were never ordinary.

However, he couldn’t help but wryly smile, saying that Ye Chen really had the guts, even daring to trick those big figures.

Ye Chen simply replied indifferently, "One is willing to strike, the other willing to be struck, it’s just that simple."

Unable to argue with Ye Chen, Zhao Tianyi expressed his speechlessness and informed Ye Chen that all he needed to do was go to the Heavenly God Palace and contact an elder there.

The Heavenly God Palace was an auction house with quite a reputation within the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, ranked alongside the Eternal Palace, Immortal Palace, and Nine Heavens Mansion among the renowned auction forces of the Ten Thousand Domains. They would not monopolize their clients’ treasures; over countless years, no credit issues had ever arisen, earning widespread acclaim from people of the Ten Thousand Domains.

For them, reputation was the largest golden signboard; they would never destroy their own golden signboard.

Indeed, Ye Chen didn’t rush there immediately but instead returned to his own Treasure Pavilion, had Elder Yan seal the temple, and began refining Pills.

He had many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on hand, as well as numerous pill formulas. He could manufacture extraordinary Pills, including life-saving wonderful pills, which should be able to fetch a high price at auction.

And now, he didn’t possess many Spirit Stones, hoping to exchange for enough Spirit Stones through this opportunity.

Moreover, he was even more curious about the auction items at the Saint Lord Level auction event; perhaps some ultimate treasures that moved his heart might appear.

Such a rare auction event was not to be missed.

After nightfall, Ye Chen emerged from the Treasure Pavilion. A hint of weariness in his demeanor was hard to conceal.

However, holding the medicine bottle in his hand, he was satisfied. The Treasure Pills he had refined this time were of fine quality, with excellent grade quality, and should be able to fetch a good price at such an auction.

Whoosh—

A silver-white mask appeared on his handsome face, with only his eyes visible and Dao Trace overflowing, impenetrable.

He didn’t want to reveal his identity.

He went straight to the Heavenly God Palace, where he was quickly met by a young and beautiful maiden, a fox woman of the Demon Race, with a stunningly voluptuous figure, ********, provocatively dressed, with a trembling pair of lovely snow-white peaks provoking desire.

"Hello, sir, what service may you require?" the fox woman greeted Ye Chen with great courtesy.

Ye Chen said, "I would like to auction off some treasures."

Upon hearing this, the fox woman immediately understood, and her demeanor became much more respectful.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly God Palace was about to hold a Saint Lord Level auction event, and only extraordinary treasures would be up for bidding.

Those who dared to come forward for the auction naturally possessed extraordinary treasures.

"Sir, please follow me. Let an elder in the palace appraise the treasures you wish to auction," she said.

The fox woman, graceful and lithe, made a gesture of invitation, revealing the deep abyss at her chest, a stunning whiteness on display, as she led Ye Chen toward a grand hall. One of the elders there, his hair and beard both white, was present. The fox woman bowed and said, "Elder, there is a guest who wishes to bid for a treasure."

Immediately, the fox woman closed the doors of the hall and swiftly left.

The elder’s gaze shifted, landing on Ye Chen. Gazing at the mysterious person with a masked face, he said in a harmonious voice, "I wonder, guest, what treasure you would like to auction."

Ye Chen flipped his palm, and a delicate jade bottle appeared in his hand. He said, "Pills."

"Pills!" The elder’s eyes sparkled with brilliant light as he stepped forward and said, "Would you mind letting this old one inspect the pills first?"

The purpose of the inspection was twofold: to prevent the auction of fakes that might damage the reputation of the Heavenly God Palace and to check whether the pills were qualified to be auctioned off. Therefore, every item up for auction required a thorough examination.

The elder took the medicine bottle, opened the stopper, and instantly, radiant light shone forth, accompanied by an unusual medicinal fragrance wafting in the air. In just a moment, the entire side hall was completely enveloped by the scent of the medicine.

"A Treasure Pill with an unusual medicinal fragrance!?"

The elder’s face showed shock, as pills that exuded unusual medicinal fragrances were often fifth-grade or higher Treasure Pills with incredible miraculous effects.

Pills were graded into ten levels, with the first grade being the lowest and the tenth the highest.

However, alchemy originated from the Mythical Era of the previous epoch, which was the most prosperous era for the art. In this epoch, much alchemical knowledge had been lost, which is why it now depended solely on the alchemy inheritance to carry on this ancient profession.

Furthermore, with the great destruction of the Mythical Era, the tenth-grade pills had become myth, and ninth-grade ones had turned into legends. These were scarcely seen in countless years, and even eighth-grade ones were few and far between.

This showcased the rarity and preciousness of pill quality; even a fifth-grade pill would tempt Saint Lord Level Characters, as it was a true Treasure Pill. Across the vast Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, alchemists who could create fifth-grade Treasure Pills were exceedingly rare.

And now, a fifth-grade Treasure Pill was certainly qualified to be listed for auction.

"Indeed, this is the Nine Revolutions Heart Returning Pill. Taken at a critical moment, it can purify inner demons and even revive the dead, a fifth-grade top Treasure Pill," Ye Chen explained. Such a pill was a treasure for the great forces about to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, vital for use at a crucial time.

Upon hearing this, the Elder of the Heavenly God Palace immediately said with great solemnity, "Please wait a moment, guest. I will invite the pill master to come and inspect it."

The Heavenly God Palace had a strict inspection process and did not tolerate inconvenience. Moreover, Ye Chen was not worried that the Heavenly God Palace might take the pill and not return it. The Heavenly God Palace had maintained a great reputation in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms for many years, never defaulting on any client’s treasure or auction payment. They had auctioned off real divine items of incalculable value. How would they covet just a bottle of pills?

Ye Chen waited with peace of mind. Soon enough, a beautiful fox woman presented him with Dao Tea to sip as he waited.

Before long, the elder returned, holding the pill with utmost care. He said, "You’ve been waiting long, guest. After inspection by the pill elders of our Heavenly God Palace, it is indeed a fifth-grade Nine Revolutions Heart Returning Pill. There are three inside, each of top quality. The starting bid for each could reach five hundred thousand pounds of Spirit Stone. I wonder if this is agreeable to the guest?"

"Five hundred thousand pounds of Spirit Stone for one?" Ye Chen furrowed his brows slightly. Though it was only the starting price, obtaining a high auction price could prove challenging; he estimated at most it wouldn’t exceed one million pounds of Spirit Stone per piece. His own supply, all added up, would not surpass five million pounds of Spirit Stone.

Even though that was a considerable sum, this was, in true terms, a Saint Lord Level auction gala. The treasures appearing would certainly be much more valuable, and he worried that five million pounds of Spirit Stone would far from suffice.

He was always concerned that when the time came to bid, he would be short on Spirit Stone.

After some thought, Ye Chen suddenly said, "Elder, I would like to auction off another treasure as well."

"What treasure?" the elder asked with curiosity.

"This one right here." With a flip of his hand, Ye Chen revealed a small tree, exuding a fragrant aroma, streaming with Seven-colored Divine Light, and entwined with traces of Dao Rules.

The elder’s eyes widened at once, "Ten...Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure!?"

After leaving the Heavenly God Palace, although Ye Chen felt some pain for losing a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure, it was because of this that the Heavenly God Palace took it very seriously.

Such a Medicine Treasure, even for Saint Lord Level Characters, was an object of frantic desire, especially valuable to those Old Immortals approaching the end of their lifespans, as it could extend one’s life by three hundred years.

It could be predicted that the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure would fetch an astronomical price. With the impending entry into the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, it would raise the stakes significantly, enough to drive the world into frenzy.

Because of this, the Heavenly God Palace treated Ye Chen as a most esteemed guest, awarding him the highest level of Purple Gold Token, allowing him to participate in the auction alongside the masters of the various Immortal Sacred Lands in seats of equal prestige.

Moreover, they promised him compensation of five million pounds of Spirit Stones should someone rob him of the treasure.

Leaving contentedly, Ye Chen could only imagine the tremendous storm a Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure would cause, which would surely drive all the great Saints into a frenzy.

He was truly looking forward to seeing what sky-high price the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure would fetch at the auction.

Returning to his resting quarters in the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Chen received a glimmering gold-embossed invitation.
