Soul Emperor Martial God

The auction continued.

But Xiao Yi had no interest in the subsequent auction items.

Lih Fengxing, on the other hand, occasionally bid on a few items.

Before long, the manager returned again, holding a Qiankun Bag, and handed it to Xiao Yi.

"This gentleman," the manager said politely, "the estimated value of your batch of trade goods, according to our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, is one thousand Primordial Stones."

"The Starfire Gloves you just bid for cost 150 Primordial Stones, and you have already paid 100 Primordial Stones on the spot, so we deducted 50 Primordial Stones."

"Inside the Qiankun Bag are 950 Primordial Stones and the Starfire Gloves."

"Are you satisfied, sir?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "It's fine."

The manager smiled broadly and said, "In that case, I won't disturb the enjoyment of the auction for you two gentlemen. I shall take my leave."

"Oh, by the way, sir, you are a distinguished guest of our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion."

"Therefore, in the subsequent auctions, except for the grand finale items, you can purchase all other items at an 80% price."

"Thank you," Xiao Yi nodded.

"You're welcome," the manager said, turning to leave.

In the VIP section.

Lih Fengxing laughed and said, "This manager is quite courteous."

"This time, I'm benefiting from your association, Deacon Xiao Yi."

"With the 20% discount, I ought to bid on more items later."

"Heh," Xiao Yi smiled.

He opened the Qiankun Bag and glanced inside; indeed, it contained 950 Primordial Stones and the Starfire Gloves.

Xiao Yi took out the Starfire Gloves, examined them briefly, and then placed them along with the Primordial Stones into his Universe Ring.

One thousand Primordial Stones, this price was quite fair.

Of course, most of this value was likely attributed to the fifteen Sub-Saint Artifacts and the twenty-five flying Sub-Saint Artifacts.

The auction continued.

Two hours later, the 36th round of the auction began, featuring another grand finale item.

It was an elixir, perfectly round, pure white, and crystal clear, extraordinarily beautiful.

Even Xiao Yi, who had shown no interest until now, was suddenly invigorated.

"What a powerful elixir," Xiao Yi's expression was one of surprise; just from afar, he could already tell this elixir was extraordinary.

"Oh?" It was the first time Lih Fengxing saw Xiao Yi show such a demeanor.

Lih Fengxing asked in puzzlement, "What kind of elixir is this to make Deacon Xiao Yi so excited?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yi shook his head, his eyes narrowed.

He wasn't lying; he could see this elixir's extraordinariness.

But he couldn't identify the elixir at all.

Moreover, the elixir's surface trajectory and other features were completely beyond his comprehension.

This proved that the alchemy technique required to refine this elixir far exceeded the knowledge he currently possessed.

"What a powerful elixir," Xiao Yi showed astonishment once more.

"Though I can't see through this elixir, if I'm not mistaken, this is a Healing Elixir."

"And with extremely potent effects."

"Extremely potent? How potent?" Lih Fengxing asked.

"Without death, if consumed, one will surely recover," Xiao Yi heavily enunciated each word.

Indeed, from below in the auction seating, the auctioneer loudly announced, "This elixir is called the Holy Spirit Pill, classified as a Holy-grade Elixir."

"Holy-grade Elixir?" The guests were momentarily in an uproar, their expressions changing dramatically.

"That's an existence completely beyond Ninth Grade Elixirs, an elixir only Holy-grade Alchemists can refine."

"Would even the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion be willing to auction it off?"

The sense of shock was endless.

The auctioneer raised his hands slightly, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm."

"This Holy Spirit Pill was refined by an elder of our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, and there are not many of them. One of these has been sent to our Star Swapping City branch for auctioning."

"This is the only one in the Star Swapping City branch of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion."

"Its effect is for healing."

"Starting price is 20 billion taels, each bid increment must not be less than 2 billion taels."

Just as the auctioneer's voice fell.

"30 billion."

"40 billion."

"50 billion."

"..."

The bidding voices of the guests quickly rose and fell, even more fiercely than any previous round of bidding.

Although the auctioneer did not explain the healing potency of this elixir.

Still, just the words 'Holy Spirit Pill, Holy-grade Elixir' were enough to prove everything.

Perhaps no matter how severe the injury, with this elixir, one would surely recover.

Holy-grade Healing Elixirs are almost equivalent to a second life.

Moreover, this elixir was refined by an elder of the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, making its value far higher than imagined.

The Ten Thousand Gold Mansion is the number one commercial force in the Central Region.

Looking across the entire Central Region, it is a top Overlord Force.

The elders within such a powerful force possess incredible strength, and their alchemy technique is astonishing.

The quality of an elixir refined by such a strong individual needs no further mention.

In the seating on the first floor, the bidding was incessant.

In the VIP seating, Xiao Yi stared intently at the elixir, his expression dark as water.

The once calm demeanor had become incredibly complex.

Holy-grade Elixir, he thought silently.

An elixir beyond Ninth Grade, what a heaven-defying elixir it must be.

If... several years ago, he had possessed such alchemical skills.

Then the old man back then wouldn't have had to sleep indefinitely.

If... several years ago, he had possessed this elixir.

Then back then, he could have immediately revived the old man lying on the streets of the Flame Martial Royal Capital, whose vitality was fading before his very eyes, the old man he valued immensely.

But there are no ifs.

"Deacon Xiao Yi," next to him, Lih Fengxing looked at Xiao Yi's expression and was startled.

Just now, he clearly felt the atmosphere in the entire room become overwhelmingly oppressive in an instant.

With his Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer strength, he found this oppressive atmosphere incredibly uncomfortable.

He also distinctly noticed that Xiao Yi's fists were clenched so tightly they were crackling.

Lih Fengxing's words interrupted Xiao Yi's thoughts.

Xiao Yi sighed and returned to normal.

All around, the oppressive atmosphere immediately returned to normal.

"Deacon Xiao Yi, what happened to you?" Lih Fengxing asked in confusion.

"Nothing," Xiao Yi smiled faintly without saying more.

Lih Fengxing glanced in puzzlement. Seeing that Xiao Yi did not elaborate, he asked no further questions.

Xiao Yi's expression was calm, but his mind was pondering.

If several years ago, when Elder Yi was first injured, this elixir could surely have saved Elder Yi.

But now, Elder Yi's situation, being close to death, has had most of his vitality dissipated, even his spirit dissipated along with it.

The only hope lies in the last faint spirit attached to the Great Freedom Sword Dao.

Purely Healing Elixirs, no matter how high the grade, are now to no avail.

Yet, the appearance of the Holy Spirit Pill gave Xiao Yi tremendous hope.

If Holy-grade Elixirs exist beyond Ninth Grade Elixirs, if Holy Spirit Pills exist with heaven-defying healing capabilities akin to reviving the dead.

Then, within Holy-grade Elixirs, there must also exist those that can heal the spirit and repair the soul.

It's just that, with his current cultivation still weak, he has no opportunity to access such things.

"Central Region, I truly didn't come here in vain," Xiao Yi thought silently in his heart.

Here, it contains all the magnificence of the Flame Dragon Continent, all the wonders of the Ancient Times, and all possibilities.

"I need to speed up my cultivation pace," Xiao Yi thought solemnly.

Whatever I want to do, what I need first is strength.
