King of Creation

The so-called two finale treasures, without guessing, one can guess what they are.

They must be the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill and the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, these two world-rare Pills.

However, what many people want to know is, where will these two world-rare Pills end up, and what kind of price will they fetch?

After all, among the one thousand Martial Artists present, more than half are clear that they do not have the capacity to bid for these two finale treasures.

What surprises Ye Zhen a little is that the auction for these two finale treasures is actually hosted personally by the Shuili Dan King.

The Shuili Dan King, dressed in green robes with plain clasps, walks to the first level auction platform holding the sealed Pill in his hands. The ethereal charisma makes the Pill Bottle he holds appear even more precious.

"Firstly, I must apologize to all you respected Martial Arts colleagues for your kind attention. I know that many of you came for the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill!

But, I am truly ashamed.

The Spiritual Medicine required for refining the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill is vast, with some being nearly extinct. Therefore, it took me nearly twenty years and countless help from colleagues to gather the necessary Spiritual Medicine for refining.

Originally, under normal circumstances, this batch should yield more than ten Pills, but unfortunately, due to some accident, there was a slight disturbance during alchemy, resulting in only nine Pills.

When I announced to the whole Martial Arts to acquire Spiritual Medicine, I promised that if someone could find those rare Spiritual Medicines, after the Pills are formed, I would prioritize supplying them with one Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill.

My whole life, I keep my promises, so now the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill available for auction is only one, and I ask for your understanding, colleagues in Martial Arts!"

Saying this, the Shuili Dan King bows slightly to all directions, "After this auction ends, the acquisition of Spiritual Medicine still requires everyone's great assistance.

My promise remains unchanged, if anyone can find those rare Spiritual Medicines, they will be granted priority in purchasing the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, and the Spiritual Medicine will be compensated with the corresponding Spirit Crystals.

However, this acquisition of Spiritual Medicine is difficult, we don't know if the next batch will be twenty or thirty years later!"

The corners of Ye Zhen's mouth twitch slightly, just this last half-sentence can involuntarily intensify the auction by three notches.

By this point, the Shuili Dan King suddenly gives a self-deprecating laugh, "Ah, getting old makes one long-winded, let's start the auction now!"

"The Pill I have, is the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, I needn't say more about its effects, right? Martial Artists who haven't established a Mansion yet can grow a whole new innate bloodline within three days after consuming it.

It can transform Martial Artists with poor aptitude and elevate genius Martial Artists to a higher level! This Pill is only effective the first time it is taken, if any Martial Arts colleagues have previously taken it, there is no need to bid!"

Suddenly, the Shuili Dan King announces loudly, "One Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, no base price, highest bidder wins, start bidding now!"

The absence of a base price causes Ye Zhen's expression to subtly change, indicating the Shuili Dan King's utter confidence in the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill he refined!

Almost immediately, bidding voices erupt like a geyser.

"Fifty thousand High Grade....."

"One hundred thousand....."

"Two hundred thousand....."

"Two hundred twenty thousand High Grade....."

.....

The previous bid hadn't even landed before it was drowned out by a flood of bidding voices. Many people's bids were swallowed back in awkwardness as they hadn't yet voiced them.

There was no other reason, their bid hadn't even been voiced when a higher bid was already made, making them too embarrassed to continue bidding.

Some were still considering, but their faces showed a bitter smile.

The quickly rising auction price already surpassed what they could afford; in other words, they were out of the auction, without the qualification to bid.

In such a moment, the bidding crazily soared to four hundred seventy thousand High Grade Spirit Crystals.

"Six hundred thousand, I bid six hundred thousand High Grade Spirit Crystals!"

With the emergence of this bid, the once noisy bidding voices in Shangdan Building instantly fell silent, and a bitter smile appeared on over ninety percent of the Martial Artists' faces.

This price signified that they no longer had any qualification to bid, they didn't have that many Spirit Crystals, and false bidding wasn't something dared by many on Shuili Island.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards the direction from which the voice emanated on the fourth level of Shangdan Building.

However, it wasn't Ye Zhen.

It was Leng Kang, the Young Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace, Leng Kang.

However, with Leng Kang's bid, the peak existences on the fourth level officially joined the fray, and those encircling the top level all showed eager eyes.

Why are they all interested?

Isn't the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill only for Martial Artists who haven't yet established a Mansion?

The reason is actually quite simple, there is a saying, wealth doesn't last beyond three generations!

The martial arts tycoons sitting here are all clear about one thing; sometimes, the excellence of the heir is more important than the current strength, power, or size of the territory.

No matter how hard you fight for a vast domain, if the heir is subpar, once you've passed on, it won't take long for it all to be squandered away, and a complete severance of the bloodline is quite common too.

Such occurrences are exceedingly common on the True Profound Continent, practically as frequent as everyday meals.

In most cases, the descendants of these great martial arts figures have numerous bloodlines, and some even have many, like those from the Stars Tower, where having hundreds of sons and thousands of grandsons is not exaggerated, so there are still many descendants with strong qualifications.

However, the problem is that to hold a significant position, talent alone is not enough; intelligence, determination, willpower, and temperament—all are indispensable.

In this regard, martial arts strength becomes less important because martial arts prowess can be cultivated, while intelligence, determination, willpower, and temperament are basically innate and hard to change even if influenced by external factors.

Therefore, many family powers select successors or significant figures by prioritizing intelligence, determination, willpower, and temperament, with martial arts talent and strength as secondary.

However, martial arts talent is an indispensable element; without a certain level of strength, even with tactics and strategies, one can only be a puppet.

Especially when choosing a successor, there is often a preference for direct blood relatives!

Thus, the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, which can augment a bloodline's talent, becomes incredibly important and is practically a coveted treasure in the eyes of major powers.

If not for the great strength of Shuili Dan King, he might have ended up as a pill slave under some family.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why those present on the fourth floor of the Shangdan Building, the top-tier beings, want to participate in bidding for this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, something that is useless to themselves.

"I heard that Young Palace Master Leng had a son eighteen years ago, extremely bright and much loved by the Young Palace Master, but his innate bloodline is somewhat lacking. Surely this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill isn't for your son, is it?"

Yang Ben chuckled as he lightly sipped his tea, "I bid six hundred and twenty thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

"Who I use it for is none of your concern, Lord Yang! Six hundred thirty thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

"Six hundred fifty thousand high-grade spirit crystals! Young Palace Master Leng, I also heard that your old palace master had a son in his advanced years, with exceptional talent, and has been personally brought up and taught. Perhaps he is guarding against you?"

Yang Ben's remark made Leng Kang's face turn black, "If you want to bid, just bid, why are you so talkative!"

"Six hundred sixty thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

"Six hundred seventy!"

"Six hundred eighty!"

"I bid six hundred ninety thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

The two went back and forth bidding several rounds when suddenly Leng Kang fell silent.

Seeing Leng Kang's extremely unpleasant expression, everyone immediately understood that the Young Palace Master of Xuanshui Palace was likely at his limit.

Comparing to before, when he had already exhausted himself in a competition with Ye Zhen over spirit medicine points, five thousand five hundred and forty points amounted to fifty-five thousand high-grade spirit crystals.

Adding whatever was left of his assets, it was estimated to be just that amount.

"Haha, forgive me for winning!" Yang Ben, understanding the situation, cupped his hands towards Leng Kang.

"Lord Yang, don't be hasty. I also intend to bid on this pill! I bid seven hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals!" suddenly proclaimed Gai Li, the Grand Mansion Master of the Gai Family.

"Grand Mansion Master Gai?" Yang Ben shot a glance at Gai Li, and then his demeanor turned knowing, "I see, Grand Mansion Master Gai has likely already chosen an heir for the Grand Mansion Master position and intends to cultivate them vigorously?"

"However, I am curious how much financial power Grand Mansion Master Gai has left to bid for this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill since you previously bid on a Purple Mansion True Marrow Pill? Could Grand Mansion Master Gai be making a false bid? I offer seven hundred and ten thousand high-grade spirit crystals!" Yang Ben chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was speechless. He hadn't known before that Yang Ben was such a gossip and bigmouth; within a short span, he'd nearly exposed the financial backgrounds of the top figures present.

Gai Li's expression slightly changed before he smiled back at Yang Ben, "Isn't Lord Yang the same? Who knows how many high-grade spirit crystals Lord Yang can still bring out?"

"I bid seven hundred and twenty thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

"In that case, let me compete with Grand Mansion Master Gai; I bid seven hundred and thirty...."

Suddenly, a piercing cold snort rang out, making everyone turn towards the source, "You two always boast about your reputations, yet now you're fighting over a mere pill like women, isn't it shameful?"

Yang Ben and Gai Li's expressions both changed, glaring angrily towards the source of the sound, "You…..."

"I bid one million high-grade spirit crystals!"

This bid of 'one million high-grade spirit crystals' immediately shut Yang Ben and Gai Li's mouths, leaving any rebuttals stuck unspoken.

"The Lord of Black Heaven Island shows great boldness, I am unmatched!" Yang Ben cupped his hands, turning his head away in some embarrassment.

One million high-grade spirit crystals had already exceeded his bidding limit.

"Hmph, is there no further bid? If none, this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill is mine!" stated Hei Tian, the Island Lord of Black Fiend Island.

"Hahaha...." A long laugh from Kui Otu on the third floor of the Stars Tower drew all eyes to him.

"Brother Hei must be joking, thinking a mere one million high-grade spirit crystals is enough to take the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, it's unlikely, isn't it?"

"I, Ou Tu, bid one million one hundred thousand high-grade spirit crystals!"

Instantly, everyone in the Shangdan Building changed expressions. Not only was the price jump significant, but the phrase 'a mere one million high-grade spirit crystals' unveiled the overwhelming wealth of the Stars Tower! (to be continued.
