With all ten ingredients is announced and explained to all the guest within the Auction Hall, Li Jing starts from selecting a ball to indicates which treasure would come first into this final ten treasures. There is nine piece of paper within the bowl made of precious Sandstone Essence Rock, and when Li Jing get a hold of one of the paper, he pulled his hand up to release the piece of paper, as it grows into a name.

[Half Step to Sixth Category Pill - Master-Rank Tiger Stripes Soul Pill]

"It's the Half Step to Sixth Category Pill first! With the opening price of 2.5 Million, please place your bid!" Peng Hui'er announce the starting of this Pill's bidding, and as it starts, the bidding increase into 5 Million, 10 Million, 12 Million and getting slower as it reaches 21 Million. But even as it getting slower, the amount of money placed on the bid is no longer few hundred thousand Spirit Bronze Coins but is in a million each time the bidding price increased. Soon, the offer stayed still on 47 Million, and 48 Million. The final competitors are exactly Du Run Yu and Ye Hao.

"Hahaha, Ye Hao, are you sure you want to compete with me in getting this Half Step Sixth Category Pills? Don't you worry that you overuse your funds before the [Emerald Blood Python] and [Seventh Category Pill - Wanderlust Elemental Ice Age Concoction] and being forced to give up on possessing both of it?" Du Run Yu teased Ye Hao on his rashness. After long consideration, Ye Hao believes that this Master-Rank Tiger Stripes Soul Pill] will be exactly suitable for the Heavenly Ascension School Seven Inner Swords. Since Ye Hao is currently the most prized disciple for the Inner Sect, he has already been tasked with the mission of further improving his own Inner Seven Swords.

Within the Hierarchy of the Heavenly Ascension School, each potentially strong Core, Inner, and Outer Disciple will be given the right to proceed with the option of nurturing their own Seven Swords. The seven swords are the designation of the potentially strong cultivators that was chosen to accompany their Lord wherever they go. Sometimes, even some failed to rise disciple or previous disciple with rights of handling their own Seven Swords, will be placed into this designation until a potentially strong disciple came across once again.

When one failed to achieve the results the School demands, the whole group, will be demoted into the Seven Swords Palace, to awaits for their new lords. Therefore, instead of competing against each other in the later stage, the first task of each Heavenly Ascension School Disciple would focus would be strengthening their own Seven Swords. The Core Disciples Seven Swords is called as Core Seven Swords, while for the Inner Disciple, Inner Seven Swords and Outer Disciple, New Seven Swords.

Each would need to obtain the percentage Seven over Seven Wins before they would be considered to enter the Yearly Ascension Exam. "50 Million Spirit Bronze Coins!" Ye Hou increased the price by 2 more million, and his action managed to force Du Run Yu to stop bidding. "Come on, somebody continues increasing their price. What is that slut, Luo Qian is doing?" Du Run Yu hopes that other would participate in this bidding as well, and force Ye Hao to pay more to obtain this 50 Master-Rank Pills.

But as there aren't any more people willing to get entangled in this particular treasure, Ye Hao finally wins the bidding, paying a total of 50 Million Spirit Bronze Coins for the 50 Master-Rank Pills. As he received the Pills in hand, Ye Hao immediately distributes 6 Pills to each of his seven uncles and kept 8 for himself. "Thank you, our Lord, for blessing seven of us with such an amazing gift." the leader of Ye Hao's Seven Inner Swords kneeled and says. "First Uncle, please stands up. All of you represents my Inner Seven Swords. If the Inner Seven Swords is strong, it means I am stronger as well. And if we are not strong enough, how would we be able to keep our safety as the Auction is over?" Ye Hao words came with a strong hint, and being the closest of Ye Hao, the Inner Seven Swords immediately understands their Lord's meaning.

"What an amazing competition between two youngest and brightest Inner Disciple from two of the three main school within the kingdom. Hui'er with now select one piece of paper to decides the next treasure open for bidding." Peng Hui'er put her soft delicate hand into the Sandstone Essence Rock Bowl to select a piece of paper. As the paper is pulled out from the bowl, a word is revealed.

[First Human Grade Spirit Treasure - Thunder Tapping Disk]

Ladies and Gentlemen, shall we have the [Thunder Tapping Disk] to start getting everyone attention now? The opening price for this treasure starts at 10 Million. Please start your bet now!" Peng Hui'er announce the starting, as Lang Ya immediately put a price of 15 Million without anything to consider. Before he could smile happily as he turned around, he is fated to accept a heavy blow by his father. "What a dumb child, The next time you bid, make sure you know who needs the Disk first, and what is their price!" Lang Ren felt a headache as he sees how straightforward is his son when bidding in the auction.

Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Just like how Uncle Lang Ren should be, seems like his son also inherited all the straightforward traits of his father." Nan Jing Jing jokingly comments about Lang Ren and Lang Ya. The competition of the piece of [Thunder Tapping Disk] becomes even furious, where the bid slowly increased from 15 Million into 16, 17, and soon stagnant at 21 Million for a while before it continues, and finally stop at 26 Million Spirit Bronze Coins. Looking at the situation had become calmer, Lang Ren instructs his child to look at the few final bidders facial expression. As Lang Ya possess the [Righteous Eye of Yang], he easily found out the fact that this person is as rich as he should be, or just pretentiously tried to increase the price.

"27 Million." Lang Ya outbid the others once again. And this time, nobody else had the intention to continue to outbid his price. Li Jing looked across the whole hall before he finalizes the decision, and knock the hammer with a word, "Sold!" Peng Hui'er continues with her regular sentence as well. "Congratulations to the Young Master Lang Ya from the City Lord's Mansion to obtained the [Thunder Tapping Disk]. I believe that we would see a future Master Lang Ren's equal in few years time soon."

"Shall I proceed to select the next piece of paper?" Li Jing walked towards the Sandstone Essence Rock Bowl once again and put in his hand to select one piece of paper, and this time, as the word within the paper revealed, it immediately gave all the guest within the Auction Hall an anticipation to participate no matter what.

[Sixth Category Pill - Non-Ranked Astounding Soul Tempering Concoction]

"With the opening price of 15 Million Spirit Bronze Coins, all honored guest within this hall, you may start your bids!" Li Jing announces the starting of this piece of treasure, and an even furious bid could be seen. The price of this Sixth Category Pill quickly increase, from 16 Million to past 25 Million, and slow down at around 32 Million. As the price finally reach 36 Million, the competition quickly became the main stage between two lower profile association.

"35 Million." a chubby male with his hand, finger, neck, and head filled with golden pieces of jewelry increase the bid once again. "Looks like the Third Quartermaster from Wealthy Fortune Pavilion is very interested in this treasure!" Peng Hui'er comments, as she announces the increase of price. But then, another male stands up to increase the bid. "40 Million!" his voice is harsher compared to the Third Quartermaster, but his build is more fit and strong looking, compared to the previous.

"40 Million bid from the Second Treasurer of the Raining Gold Mountain Association! Is there anyone felt like increasing the bid once again?" Peng Hui'er asked. "42 Million!" the third quartermaster hates to lose, as he increases the price once again to outbid the Second Treasurer. Their little scuffle continues along the way, while Long Feng pays attention to Nan Jing Jing for some information.

"The Wealthy Fortune Pavilion is similar to the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion, but in term of wealth, the Wealth Fortune Pavilion's wealth exceeds the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion if not by 10 times, it would be around 8 to 9 times. Not only that, the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion is the sole trader for many specific kinds of Medicinal Pills, and they have branches everywhere."

"The Raining Gold Mountain Association is in the same position like the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion, but in term of business, the Raining Gold Mountain Association is more towards rare and special ingredient materials, and all specifically chosen before they are available for sale. The association is located just beside the Yang Clan State, and shares a strong bond between the two of them."

"Compared to what the three schools inner disciple is bringing, the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion and the Raining Golden Mountain Association is the superpower in term of wealth. If they felt like wanted to do so, they could purchase all top ten treasures within this Grand Auction without any injuries on their deep pocket." Nan Jing Jing explains the situation and the power hidden behind this two older men as they fight, and soon, the price hike already reached 55 Million.

"60 Million!" the third quartermaster increased the price once again, but this time, the Raining Gold Mountain Association does not bother to continue bidding for the treasure. "Third Quartermaster San Lang San Bei, I, Jin Dan, hates to make somebody as important like you to struggle with anger because of a mere Sixth Grade Pill. Please enjoy the 60 Million Pill you just bought." the second treasurer, Jin Dan comments as falls onto his seat once again.

"Argh! You actually trick me, Jin Dan, you make sure you be careful when going back to you shit mountain!" the Third Quartermaster San Lang San Bei is furious after knowing that he had been fooled by Second Treasurer Jin Dan until just now. Although the two super wealthy power does possess incredible wealth, this doesn't mean that an overpriced treasure will be overlooked, when they are making a purchase. In the world of business, nobody willing to overpaid even if it's for a once in a lifetime ingredients.

After repeating the same word over and over again, Peng Hui'er heads to the bowl this time to select another piece of paper. Again, the content written within gave some people a shock, except the people from Beast Taming School.

[Third Human Grade Cultivation Beast - Sandstone Essence Ape]

"Starting price of 20 Million Spirit Bronze Coins, Ladies and Gentlemen, you may start bidding now!" Peng Hui'er announce the starting again, and immediately, the guest within the Hall went furious. A Sandstone Essence Ape is one of the most valuable beast companions for a Pill Masters, but not for Long Feng. In Long Feng's mind, he already has Hong Yue by his side, and through their life experience together, Long Feng would prefer Hong Yue no matter how many time he would have to choose. In the same time, Long Feng still have no knowledge about Hong Yue's current changes in his bloodline, which is an estimated Eight Heaven Grade Silver Scales Wyvern Emperor, an equivalent of Saint Realm Beast at his maturity.

The Sandstone Essence Ape quickly sold for a price of 32 Million, purchased by Luo Qian from the Profound Herb School. It seems that the Profound Herb School is here this time especially for the Cultivation Beast, and not anything else. Following continuously behind is the rare and special Cultivation beast as well.

[Fourth Human Grade Cultivation Beast - Emerald Blood Python]

Since the competition is soon reaching their ending, most of the final few items are only purchasable by the strong and wealthy School and association. This Emerald Blood Python is the main attraction among the Profound Herb School, Heaven Ascension School, Wealthy Fortune Pavilion and Raining Golden Mountain Association. The motives of this four powerful figure are fighting for this Emerald Blood Python, is because of its [Emerald Blood] and [Emerald Martial Soul Tempering Scales].

For the Inner Seven Swords and Ye Hao, this Emerald Jade Python will be able to provide eight of them an unlimited amount of [Emerald Martial Soul Tempering Scales] where they could use to temper their Soul into and Emerald Martial Soul. Although there is many different special martial soul to be trained, the Emerald Martial Soul possess one specialty. The possibility of removing any poison without difficulties.

While for the Profound Herb School, their main reason to obtained the Emerald Blood Python is due to the rarity of the ingredient [Emerald Blood] that could be used to refine the All Poison Resistant [Emerald Jade Pill]. This Pill is not only rare among the Pill Master and within the market, it is also one of the crucial ingredient for one to step into the path of [Beast Poison Master / Medicinal Poison Master / Dark Poison Master].

While for the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion and Raining Golden Mountain Association, their only objective is to possess this money making Snake, that allows them to monopoly the production of this treasured ingredients. Although their actions might create some dispute within the market for a while, in a world that has a need for currency as an exchange, whatever disputes will be easily handled, as long the currency of exchange could overcome their weight of disputes.

The competition for this Emerald Blood Python became even fierce, as the price in the bid increased from 25 Million to 50 Million, and it is still increasing, until only the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion and Raining Golden Mountain Association remains in the bid-fighting. Their competition against each other goes for another thirty something minutes before the Raining Golden Mountain Association managed to secure it by offering a price of 80 Million. "Damn you! Jin Dan! I will make sure the Wealthy Fortune Pavilion won't let this case goes unsettled!" the Third Quartermaster San Lang San Bei angrily speaks as he failed to obtain the Emerald Blood Python.

The momentum of bidding did not stop there, as Li Jing next selection is the [First Human Grade Spirit Treasure - Hundred Steads Formation Flag] that was priced at 12 Million Spirit Bronze Coins. Without the participation from the Three schools and the two wealthy business association, the bidding for this flag ends quickly, with a price of 18 Million at the end of the bid.

The next item is not something very attractive to the three schools either, but for Long Feng, this is something that could bolster his wife's fighting capability by double! Peng Hui'er lift the paper from the bowl as the contents revealed to be the [Second Heaven Grade Spirit Weapon - Qian Kun Soul Wheel], priced at 15 Million. The bidding process goes along for a while until it was success outbid by Long Feng for a rate of 21 Million.

The next item is the fateful [Heaven Yin Essence Pearl] and [Hell Yang Essence Pill]. With the price of 10 Million Spirit Bronze Coins, the auction progress swiftly in a very normal process, and managed to be purchased by Long Feng with a price of 20 Million. With all Nine item is already making their appearance, the final treasure, a Seventh Category Pill, finally appears on the Stage.

[Seventh Category Pill - Wanderlust Elemental Ice Age Concoction]

"The long awaited Treasure, Seventh Category Pill is finally here! Ladies and Gentlemen, please place your bet!" Peng Hui'er speaks, as she and Li Jing prepared with the rain of bidding offer! 30 Million, 40, 45, 50 Million. In an instant of 1 full minute, the price spikes up from mere 25 Million into 50 Million, and on its second minutes, the price already reaches 90 Million. Exactly three minutes later, the price finally went slower, and it is currently holding between 115 Million and 116 Million. The main competitors for this Seventh Category Pill, Profound Herb School, Beast Taming School, Heaven Ascension School, the Pavilion and the Mountain Association, would never imagine, that one of the Sect finally makes their appearance within this Grand Auction.

"150 Million Spirit Bronze Coins." a beautiful yet cold lady stands up and raise her token. As the announcer and owner of the House of Miraculous Jade are taking a look on the token, they noticed that this lady does possess a number of spirit coins to bid this price! Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing looked upwards on this lady, and finally noticed the identity of this lady. "It's the Jade Maiden Sect's, Lady Li Yi!" Nan Jing Jing is shocked with this sudden appearance of Lady Li Yi in fighting for this Seventh Category Pill.

"Hahaha! 150 Million! A good 150 Million. Seems like the Jade Maiden Sect must obtain this Seventh Category Pill no matter what." San Lang San Bei praises Li Yi for her outrageous confidence in pushing the price of the Pill into 150 Million. Although Jin Dan felt like giving a comment, because of a certain matter, he decided to not make any comments.

"This bitch! How dare she actually fights with the Profound Herb School for this Seventh Category Pill!" Luo Qian is totally angered with that enormous price bid by Li Yi, but before she shouts loudly, the Instructor stopped her from making a fuss within the Hall. "Lady Li Yi, this Pill will be your for sure, congratulations." Ye Hao turned to face Lady Li Yi as he congratulates her for the total success. Meanwhile, Du Run Yu doesn't have any reaction to give to Lady Li Yi. Only one thing running through his mind.

"Since the Jade Maiden Sect decided to purchase this Pill no matter what, It must be for her!" Du Run Yu thinks in his mind. Soon, a silhouette appears within his mind, about this Most freezingly cold demeanor and Beauty Female from the Jade Maiden Sect. All Du Run Yu knows about this lady, is that she managed to defeat a combination of 6 Peak Elder Tier cultivators of his Beast Taming School, and along with their 6 respective Fourth Human Grade Cultivation Beast.

"Congratulations to the Jade Maiden Sect Lady Li Yi to successfully bid for this Seventh Category Pill! With all the treasures is completely auctioned out today, we are happy to announce to everyone that this Grand Auction is over! Ladies and Gentlemen, please come back to us for the next auction!" Peng Hui'er and Li Jing politely close the Auction process as the fireworks, dances, and celebrations quickly follow up.

But this is all nothing much to be a concern, because of the next challenge, is to exits the Thunderburst Jade City and returned to their respective base in full piece. This includes Long Feng and Nan Jing Jing as well.
