The fifty lower-grade Super Warrior Pills fetched nearly 800,000 gold. It wasn’t just Ye Yiming who was excited; even Wang Weilong on the stage was visibly thrilled. As soon as the lower-grade pills were sold, he couldn’t wait to announce the next item.

"Alright, the auction for the lower-grade Super Warrior Pills is complete. Now, we will begin the auction for the mid-grade Super Warrior Pills. These pills can elevate a high-level warrior to a human-level warrior. We have ten pills, divided into five groups, with two pills per group. The starting price is 100,000 taels, with each increment not less than 1,000 taels! Let’s begin."

"110,000 taels!"

Perhaps the mid-grade Super Warrior Pills had significantly stronger effects than the lower-grade ones, as someone immediately bid 110,000 taels, raising the price by 10,000 taels in one go. And that wasn’t the end of it. After the initial bid, more and more people started placing higher bids.

"120,000 taels!"

"130,000 taels!"

"140,000 taels!"

...

"250,000 taels!"

After several rounds of bidding, a voice from the third floor suddenly offered 250,000 taels, drawing everyone's attention. The bidder was none other than Master Yu from the Medicine Tower.

With Master Yu's bid, everyone else stopped raising their offers. After all, it was best not to offend anyone from the Medicine Tower. Moreover, Master Yu's bid was already quite high. In the end, Wang Weilong announced the final call three times, and the first set of mid-grade Super Warrior Pills was sold to Master Yu from the Medicine Tower.

Ye Yiming casually glanced at Master Yu’s room on the third floor, feeling even more disdainful.

Ha, do they really think that by buying a few pills of each grade, they can figure out the formula? Can this system's pill formulas be so easily deciphered? Hmph, if they manage to figure out the formula, I'll take their surname.

Despite his disdain for the Medicine Tower’s actions, Ye Yiming couldn’t deny that, thanks to their participation, the next four sets of mid-grade Super Warrior Pills were auctioned off for over 250,000 taels each. The final set even broke the 300,000 mark, reaching a high of 320,000 taels.

After the mid-grade Super Warrior Pills were auctioned, Wang Weilong brought out three beautiful women holding silver trays. Unveiling the red cloth covering the trays, he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have now reached the highlight of today’s auction."

Wang Weilong paused dramatically before raising his voice, "Next, we will auction the high-grade Super Warrior Pills, which can elevate a human-level warrior to an earth-level warrior. No matter who you are, as long as you are a human-level warrior, consuming this pill will advance you to the earth-level."

At this, Wang Weilong signaled to the backstage, and Li Xiaodong emerged.

Seeing this, the audience was puzzled by Wang Weilong’s intention, though a few individuals seemed to guess his motive.

Wang Weilong, noticing the confusion among most attendees, smiled smugly and gave Li Xiaodong another signal. Understanding the cue, Li Xiaodong stepped forward, smiled, and then unleashed his full aura.

A mid-earth-level aura?

The crowd quickly realized that Li Xiaodong had already reached the mid-earth level, and they were full of praise for his talent. After all, even in the capital, few could reach the earth level at the age of 20. So, for Li Xiaodong to reach mid-earth level at just 18 earned him some admiration. However, they were still puzzled by Wang Weilong’s reason for calling him on stage.

But soon, someone noticed something off.

"No, there’s something strange about Li Xiaodong! I saw him yesterday, and he was still at the peak of the human level. How is he at mid-earth level today?" The speaker was none other than General Li’s son, Li Feng.

While some might not know Li Xiaodong well, Li Feng, who had always been at odds with him, was well aware of his cultivation level. Despite both being surnamed Li, they were not related, and their relationship was extremely antagonistic. Li Feng had been beaten by Li Xiaodong several times.

Unfortunately for Li Feng, not only was his cultivation level inferior to Li Xiaodong's, but his status and position were also lower. Though Li Xiaodong wasn’t from a noble family or royalty, his grandfather, Old Li, was a highly respected imperial physician whom even the emperor revered.

There was a saying in the capital, "Better to provoke the dragon than Old Li." This exaggerated saying highlighted Old Li's esteemed position.

Having inferior skills and status, Li Feng harbored deep resentment towards Li Xiaodong, which was why he was so close to Wu Yaolin. Therefore, Li Feng immediately noticed Li Xiaodong’s breakthrough.

The crowd was astonished to hear Li Feng’s words, and some even stood up involuntarily.

From peak human level yesterday to mid-earth level today? That’s unbelievable!

With such rapid progress, combined with the high-grade Super Warrior Pills up for auction, it was clear to everyone that Li Xiaodong's breakthrough was due to the pills.

The crowd’s gaze on the pills in the hands of the three beautiful women turned fervent.

Seeing their reactions, Wang Weilong felt even more admiration for his cousin Ye Yiming.

Exactly as Cousin Yiming predicted, no amount of promotion beats a live demonstration.

Seeing that the audience’s excitement had reached its peak, Wang Weilong clapped his hands and said, "I believe everyone now understands why I called Li Xiaodong on stage. Yes, after consuming a high-grade Super Warrior Pill, he advanced from the peak of the human level to mid-earth level within a few hours."

"Wow!" Even those who prided themselves on their composure couldn’t help but discuss animatedly.

As Wang Weilong finished speaking, He Dewen on the third floor squinted slightly, filled with even more amazement at the Super Warrior Pills.

To think these high-grade pills could not only elevate someone to the earth level but also to mid-earth level. If my He family had these pills, we wouldn’t need to rely on others anymore.

"Crack!" Wu Yaoguang, sitting nearby, inadvertently crushed his chair’s armrest in agitation, startling Wu Yaolin beside him.

These high-grade Super Warrior Pills were created by Ye Yiming. If Ye Yiming had many such pills, or even better ones, he could easily break through to the earth level. Given time, I might not be his match anymore.

A faint thought crossed Wu Yaoguang’s mind—could Ye Yiming have pills that could elevate someone to the heavenly level?

But recalling the difficulty of breaking through to the heavenly level, Wu Yaoguang quickly dismissed the thought.

Impossible! There can’t be such a pill. Even with these pills, Ye Yiming could only reach the peak of the earth level. A warrior who relies on pills can’t be my match.

Convincing himself of this, Wu Yaoguang felt calmer. With a clear mind, he looked at the pills below and made a decision.

Meanwhile, Ye Yiming, watching the scene unfold, felt a mix of emotions. Seeing the radiant Li Xiaodong, he lamented inwardly.

Why can’t I absorb the pill’s energy all at once? If I could, I’d have reached the heavenly level hundreds of times by now.

Feeling Ye Yiming’s frustration, Da Hei nudged his leg and softly whined, offering comfort.

Sigh, it’s no big deal. It just takes time. Comforted by Da Hei, Ye Yiming patted its head and looked down at the auction, eyes gleaming with excitement.

Haha, I'm going to make a fortune! I'm going to be rich!

Wang Weilong, seeing that the atmosphere had reached its peak, announced, "Alright, I believe everyone is eager for the high-grade Super Warrior Pills. Let the bidding begin."

Holding up one of the pill bottles, he said, "We will auction three pills in three separate rounds. The first one starts now, with no reserve price. Each bid must increase by at least 10,000 taels of gold!"

"One million!" As soon as Wang Weilong finished, someone immediately bid one million, surprising everyone.

The bidder, a young noble, felt a surge of pride seeing everyone stunned by his offer. Just as he was about to bask in the moment, another voice shattered his confidence.

"Two million!"

This new bid left the young noble embarrassed, his earlier pride completely deflated. If this embarrassed him, the following bids would utterly humble him.

"Two and a half million!"

"Three million!"

"Four million!"

With each bid, the young noble realized the vast gap between himself and others.

The price for the high-grade Super Warrior Pill kept rising, with more bidders joining in. Finally, a single bid broke the pattern.

"Ten million!"

The crowd was shocked and looked towards the bidder. Seeing it was He Dewen, they understood. After all, the He family was the wealthiest in Tianyang. Ten million was a large sum, but not beyond their means.

The last bid before He Dewen’s was 6.8 million. Since five million, the bids had been increasing by 100,000 each time. But He Dewen raised it by 3.2 million in one go, which was surprising, but not shocking considering his status.

Ye Yiming, hearing He Dewen’s bid, happily hugged Da Hei, drooling with delight.

Ten million for one pill? Haha, I’m rich. I'm rich!

Others might think it an exaggeration, but He Dewen, concerned with a breakthrough for his son, didn’t care about the cost. With such wealth, he could afford to be extravagant.

After He Dewen’s bid, the auction for the first pill concluded, fetching an unprecedented price.

The auction continued with the next two pills, each fetching prices that sent Ye Yiming into further excitement. With the final bids of 10.5 million and 11 million, the total for three high-grade pills exceeded 30 million taels.

After this exhilarating auction, Wang Weilong gestured, and a white-clad figure appeared, holding a tray with a black cloth. Lifting the cloth revealed an ancient-looking book.

"This is our final item for today—an ancient manual from an ancient sect’s ruins, containing techniques on cultivation and martial arts. There’s no reserve price; let the bidding begin!"

With the crowd’s curiosity piqued, the bidding for the manual quickly soared, reaching 15 million taels. Ye Yiming was amazed at the enthusiasm but also a bit wary of the manual’s authenticity.

As the auction ended, Ye Yiming collected his massive earnings with Wang Weilong’s help. Overjoyed, he couldn’t wait to continue his cultivation, eager to create even more powerful pills and become invincible.

The storm of the auction had ended, but for Ye Yiming, a new journey had just begun.
