How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 83: Chapter 0083 Astonishing High Price

The maid was both surprised and excited.

This young man, truly deserving the status of a Silver Order guest, was indeed of great value. He had just casually purchased a useless old metal ball, and now he had taken out a Qi Storage Pill!

A Qi Storage Pill was a precious elixir that could lay the foundation for breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm.

If taken during the mid-to-late stage of Organ Refining, it could enhance one’s cultivation, and even slightly increase the success rate of advancing to the Qi Transformation Realm.

It could be said,

This was the spirit pill madly sought after by True Disciples, large families, and elder Organ Refining powerhouses!

“Is he selling a Qi Storage Pill?”

The Qiu sisters, faces full of surprise, wondered: Had Chen Yu gone mad?

Chen Yu, of course, hadn’t gone mad; on the contrary, he was very calm.

Chen Yu’s talent lay in the “Body Technique domain,” where he first aimed to enhance the Copper Statue Technique, which best suited his talent, as easily as possible.

With increased strength and a deeper foundation, he could also slightly improve his talents.

Then use these advantages to nourish his Inner Breath Cultivation.

Chen Yu, along with the maid, stepped into a room behind the auction.

“Qi Storage Pill, no doubt about it!”

An old man with a flowery beard and a hunched back, after inspecting the pills in the bottle for a moment, was visibly excited.

There was even a hint of longing on his face.

This hunchbacked elder, responsible for the appraisal, was himself an Organ Refining expert in the Late Stage.

In the end,

This Qi Storage Pill was temporarily mortgaged to Chen Yu for twenty-five thousand Grade Essence Stones, and that was a conservative estimate.

When sold, the price was definitely going to be higher.

Chen Yu, with a smile on his face, took a bag of two hundred and fifty genuine yuan stones and returned to the VIP platform.

At that moment,

The auction was selling a Blood Ganoderma, surprisingly aged a hundred and twenty years.

“One eighteen thousand!”

“One nineteen thousand!”

This hundred and twenty-year-old Blood Ganoderma quickly approached twenty thousand.

Eventually, it was auctioned off for an impressive “twenty-one thousand,” which could have been higher if it were Fire Spirit Ginseng.

Following that,

An Ice Mountain Snow Lotus, one hundred and fifty years old, boldly made its appearance.

With an age of one hundred and fifty years, the medicinal efficacy was better, attracting bids from several Qi Transformation Realm powerhouses.

This Snow Lotus sold for over thirty thousand!

“Next, two Earth Spirit Ginsengs, one aged a hundred and twenty years and the other one fifty.”

Elder Qiao said with a smile.

In this auction, good elixirs and century-aged treasures fetched high prices.

“One hundred twenty years and one hundred fifty years?”

Chen Yu took a deep breath.

He had to make a choice. Buying both was beyond his budget in yuan stones and would make him too conspicuous.

Soon, Chen Yu made a rational decision.

Choose the hundred and twenty years!

Because, a hundred and fifty-year-old treasure would attract Qi Transformation Realm bidders.

Moreover, before the auction, Chen Yu had bought two eighty-year-old Earth Spirit Ginsengs as backups, which were just slightly less effective.

“First auction, the Earth Spirit Ginseng of one hundred twenty years, starting at ten thousand, each bid increment no less than one thousand.”

Elder Qiao waved his hand.

As the starting price was announced, many began bidding below.

“Seventeen thousand!”

“Eighteen thousand!”

…

After the price approached twenty thousand, it slowed down a bit.

“I bid twenty thousand!”

A relaxed voice from a young man broke through, pushing the price to twenty thousand.

The place quieted for a moment.

Everyone looked towards a VIP pavilion.

The speaker was a slovenly young man inside the pavilion.

“It’s Fei Letian of Iron Sword Sect.”

“Fei Letian? One of the true disciples of Iron Sword Sect, reportedly a contender for Chief Disciple.”

Many people glanced sideways.

“Fei Letian.”

Chen Yu looked towards the slovenly young man in the pavilion.

During the tri-sect gamble battle, Chen Yu had crossed paths with Fei Letian, whose martial skills were incredibly profound.

What was most peculiar was,

This man cultivated a special cultivation technique, where after reaching each minor realm in the Organ Refining Stage, his cultivation would drop once.

Of course,

At this point, Fei Letian had recovered his Refining Organ Stage Cultivation, seeming even to have reached the Late Stage.

“Tsk tsk, I bid twenty-one.”

From the same 걩avilion, another strange laughter came,

The voice was a bit sharp and mocking, giving Chen Yu a familiar sensation.

“Lv Santong!”

“Ghost Sword Lv Santong!”

Many recognized this person.

Lv Santong, with a strange smile, glanced at Fei Letian next to him.

The situation was bizarre.

The two, being true disciples from the same sect, were actually competing for the same treasure.

“Lv Santong, are you deliberately causing trouble? My secret technique has reached a critical moment, and I really need the Earth Spirit Ginseng to consolidate it.”

Fei Letian looked displeased.

“Hey! A hundred and twenty-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng, after I take it, can also enhance my physique and stabilize my cultivation.”

Lv Santong said nonchalantly.

“Twenty-two thousand.” Fei Letian kept a straight face.

“Twenty-three thousand.”

Lv Santong was unyielding.

What… What was going on?

Chen Yu looked puzzled as the two top disciples of Iron Sword Sect publicly competed.

But it seemed, from the look of it, that Lv Santong was deliberately causing trouble.

“It’s said that the ‘Iron Sword Sect’s’ current Chief Disciple is reaching the age limit. Both Lv Santong and Fei Letian are strong contenders. Fei Letian is cultivating a special secret technique, and once successful, not only will his technique greatly improve, but his strength will also tower over his peers. Naturally, Lv Santong doesn’t wish to see this happen…”

Qiu Xinxin explained softly.

So that was it.

Chen Yu realized and chuckled lightly, “I bid twenty-four thousand!”

Whoa!

A commotion erupted around the venue. Unexpectedly, a third party had entered the fray, forcefully joining the battle.

“It’s Chen Yu!”

“He previously spent twenty thousand on that worthless metal ball, how does he still have yuan stones?”

In a corner,

Three members of the Chen Family, faces full of astonishment.

Previously, after Chen Yu had spent twenty thousand on that worthless metal ball, the three from the Chen Family felt as if he was squandering his inheritance.

You should know.

They, the three of them, representing the entire small family’s financial resources, could barely scrape together about ten thousand yuan stones.

“Hmph! Is this you, the little guys who never support with resources?”

Chen Family Ancestor snorted coldly.

Family Head Chen Tianwei and the white-bearded elder listened to the scolding with trepidation and an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

“Twenty-four thousand, any higher?”

Elder Qiao surveyed the crowd.

“It’s this youngster…” Lv Santong squinted his eyes.

Chen Yu’s participation, he had no objections, in fact, he welcomed it with raised hands.

After all.

His real rival was Fei Letian.

“Twenty-four thousand, almost at the limit. If I bid, then Lv Santong won’t let it go easily.”

Fei Letian thought for a moment and then gave up.

Then.

An unexpected scene occurred.

Once Chen Yu made his move, the two True Disciples of Iron Sword Sect actually both silently gave up.

“Oh my! What’s the background of this guy? As soon as he made a move, he subdued the two True Disciples…”

“Are you dumb? Can’t you see the subtle situation?”

Some whispers passed around among the audience.

Chen Yu caught a clever balance, the price almost reaching the peak, and in one fell swoop, he “secured” the two True Disciples.

Thus.

The one hundred and twenty-year-old Earth Spirit Ginseng was obtained by Chen Yu.

Following that, another hundred and fifty years old Earth Spirit Ginseng was purchased by a Qi Transformation Realm expert for a high price of thirty-five thousand.

…

The auction was in full swing.

More and more auction items, Spirit Pills, precious materials, treasures, scriptures, and rare artifacts… dazzled their way onto the stage.

Qiu Xinxin sisters also made a bid or two, acquiring two precious materials worth over ten thousand each.

The auction soon reached its midpoint.

“Come on up.”

Elder Qiao motioned with his hand, and ten maidens each holding a tray came up.

On each tray, there lay a small piece of peculiar iron metal.

“Extraterrestrial meteors!”

Voices rose simultaneously from the audience.

“Fifty pounds of meteorite iron. Divided into ten portions. Each auction of five pounds starting at twenty-five thousand, bid as you wish.”

Elder Qiao said indifferently.

He wasn’t worried about selling the extraterrestrial meteorite iron.

“Thirty thousand!”

“Thirty-four thousand!”

“Thirty-six thousand!”

…

Before long, five pounds of meteorite iron were called for a high price of nearly thirty thousand.

Ultimately.

The first batch of five pounds was sold for a high price of thirty-nine thousand!

The following nine batches of meteorite, the transaction prices were quite stable, all above thirty-five thousand.

“Who has such a big hand to get so much meteorite iron all at once.”

“Who else! It must be ‘Yunyue Sect’, this sect has always been close to the Hidden Lake Conference.”

The audience was astounded.

Such a move, if it were an individual’s power, would be too shocking; but for a sect’s power, it wasn’t much.

“Yunyue Sect actually took this time to sell a batch of meteorite iron and make a fortune.”

Chen Yu was somewhat speechless.

After this batch of meteorite iron was sold, the following auction fell into a brief lull.

Seeing this, Elder Qiao sent a sound transmission to the back and chuckled with a wave of his hand.

“Next up is a ‘Qi Storage Pill’, which I believe many of you will be interested in.”

Elder Qiao was confident.

Qi Storage Pill!

A small commotion arose in the venue. The powerful individuals in the Mid-to-Late Stage of Organ Refining were visibly shaken.

“Qi Storage Pills, extremely rare, can lay a foundation for one to assault the Qi Transformation Realm. Those in the Mid-to-Late Stages of Organ Refining could also use it to advance their cultivation.”

“This pill starts at twenty thousand!”

Elder Qiao waved his hand.

Twenty thousand starting bid? The high price was staggering.

Normally, a Qi Storage Pill would cost about this much.

But the key was.

In the current crisis environment, ordinary forces or those in the Organ Refining Stage, if they possessed this pill, would never sell it.

“Twenty-three thousand!”

The first bidder added three thousand directly.

That voice came from the royal box of Chu Country.

“Qi Storage Pill? Damn it! This must be Chen Yu’s auction; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so lavish today.”

The Seventh Prince was infuriated.

According to his original plan, he had intended to lure Chen Yu away first, then make his move and obtain the Qi Storage Pill without much cost.

But he never expected Chen Yu to auction off the Qi Storage Pill directly at the auction.

This was ruthless!

Other people would not sell a Qi Storage Pill, yet he could afford to let it go.

“Twenty-five thousand!

“Twenty-six thousand!”

…

“Twenty-nine thousand!”

“Thirty thousand!”

The bidding aggressively broke through the thirty-thousand mark.

Chen Yu, of course, was all smiles; the higher the sale, the better.

“Did you… really sell the Qi Storage Pill?”

Qiu Yue’er’s mouth hung open, staring blankly at Chen Yu.

“Thirty-four thousand!”

“Thirty-five thousand!”

The bidding continued until thirty-five thousand before it slowed down.

But at this time.

There were still forces like the royal family, Nangong Family, Duan Family, Water Moon Sect, and others still participating in the competition.

Especially the royal family, who appeared desperate to win this pill.

“Thirty-six thousand!”

From the royal family, a beautiful lady resolutely called out.

“Uncle… is it worth bidding so high?”

Huangfulin whispered softly.

“With the three sects and Bone Demon Palace at war, our Chu Country’s royal family is caught in the middle, also at a moment of life and death; if we can cultivate one more Qi Transformation Realm expert, it means one more chance of survival.”

The beautiful lady spoke seriously.

Of course, other major family forces rooted in Chu Country had the same thinking.

“Forty thousand!”

Eventually, the royal family called out a price that shocked the entire audience, and they won the Qi Storage Pill with it.
