Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

"Get lost!" Xiao Long flatly refused.

Xiao Long was a man of principles!

Even though he had countless techniques in his memory, those were the millennia-old accumulations of the Burning Heaven Dragon Palace, and they were never to be casually passed on to anyone who wasn't a disciple of the Scarlet Flame Dragon Palace.

If a Dragon Palace disciple dared to sell techniques privately, the lightest punishment would be the loss of their cultivation, and the harshest would be imprisonment in the Dragon Palace's purgatory, suffering until death. This rule was personally set by Xiao Long.

Moreover, Xiao Long deeply understood the principle of "the taller the tree, the more the wind." Alchemy was one thing, but if he spread those earth-shattering techniques, it might attract all his enemies from his past life.

"But boss..."

"I warn you, never mention this again!" Xiao Long glared coldly.

Seeing Xiao Long's expression, Huang Mao shivered and swore never to bring it up again.

The subsequent auction proceeded smoothly, with occasional treasures fetching a hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, none of which caught Xiao Long's interest.

During this time, Xiao Long did not make a single bid.

"The next item up for auction is a pill! I believe everyone has heard of its name!"

Su Ya presented a jade bottle, which Li Wei took and poured out a green pill into his palm.

"It's a second-grade pill, the Chongxu Pill!"

Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized the pill.

Who hasn't heard of the Chongxu Pill? It's a precious pill that allows peak Body Refining Realm warriors to break through their bottleneck and advance to the Qi Condensing Realm!

Most of those present were Qi Condensing Realm warriors, but in the Tianfeng Kingdom, such warriors were still rare. Even in a one-star sect like the Fire Cloud Sect, only a few core disciples and elders were at the Qi Condensing Realm. The other inner disciples and hundreds of outer disciples were all in the Body Refining Realm!

A single Chongxu Pill could potentially create a Qi Condensing Realm warrior, highlighting its immense value!

Li Wei smiled and said, "That's right! It's indeed the Chongxu Pill! But everyone is mistaken about one thing. The crafting technique of this Chongxu Pill is extremely advanced, and its quality is the best I've ever seen in my life. This is not a second-grade pill but a third-grade pill!"

"What!"

People were incredulous.

A regular second-grade Chongxu Pill only has a thirty percent chance of helping a Body Refining Realm warrior break through, with significant side effects, requiring at least a few months to stabilize their cultivation. But a third-grade Chongxu Pill guarantees a one hundred percent chance of advancing to the first level of the Qi Condensing Realm, with no side effects and no need to stabilize cultivation.

That's the difference between a second-grade and a third-grade pill!

"Fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

"Only fifty thousand for a Chongxu Pill? I'll bid a hundred thousand!"

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

"One hundred fifty thousand!"

...

The price soared.

In the end, it was bought by the Ask Sword Sect for three hundred eighty thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Sect Master Liu Chengfeng's heart bled, but thinking about gaining a decent core disciple in the future made it all worthwhile.

Seeing the Chongxu Pill sell for such a price, Xiao Long was quite satisfied.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"So the beans I ate yesterday were this valuable!" Huang Mao was very surprised, thinking about how Xiao Long casually gave him such a precious pill, making him even more grateful.

"Boss, I have a question." Huang Mao suddenly asked, "Boss is also a tenth-level demon beast, why not take the Chongxu Pill to break through to a Demon General?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Long was taken aback.@@novelbin@@

Right!

Ever since he had the system, he had gotten used to leveling up by gaining experience and had never thought about taking pills.

He was currently at level 10, which is a tenth-level demon beast. In theory, he could use the Chongxu Pill to break through to a Demon General. Whether it would work or not, he would have to try after the auction.

While Xiao Long was pondering, the atmosphere outside had reached a climax.

The reason was the appearance of the third-grade Qi Condensing Pill crafted by Xiao Long.

Qi Condensing Pill!

Compared to the Chongxu Pill, the Qi Condensing Realm warriors present were more eager for this pill that could directly enhance their strength!

Especially Liao Qingfeng, whose eyes were bloodshot. He was usually too lazy to train and needed pills to boost his strength. A third-grade Qi Condensing Pill was undoubtedly the best choice!

Gu Sha was also looking at the scene with excitement. He was already at the fifth level of the Qi Condensing Realm. If he took this pill and broke through to the sixth level, he would be able to compete with the younger generation in the Capital.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

After three voices, the price of the Qi Condensing Pill had already surpassed the previous Chongxu Pill, and without a doubt, it was more attractive to those present.

"Six hundred thousand! Anyone who dares to compete with me, I'll kill their entire family!" Liao Qingfeng shouted with bloodshot eyes.

Those who originally wanted to continue fighting shrank back upon hearing this voice.

In Fire Cloud City, Liao Qingfeng's words held some deterrence. After all, on someone else's turf, even if they won the bid, they wouldn't be able to handle any underhanded tactics.

Many people quietly withdrew from the competition.

Liao Qingfeng smugly scanned the surroundings, daring anyone to challenge him.

But before he could celebrate, a cold voice rang out.

"Six hundred fifty thousand."

Liao Qingfeng's gaze locked onto Gu Sha, staring intently.

"Gu Sha, are you sure you want to go against me?"

Gu Sha closed his eyes and didn't respond.

"Bastard! Seven hundred thousand!" Liao Qingfeng shouted in anger.

"Seven hundred fifty thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred fifty thousand."

"One million!" Liao Qingfeng screamed, "One million middle-grade spirit stones, plus one thousand upper-grade spirit stones, what do you have to compete with me!"

Xue Wuqing shook his head silently. This wastrel would ruin the Fire Cloud Sect's foundation sooner or later.

One million middle-grade spirit stones were no small amount for the Fire Cloud Sect, not to mention the thousand upper-grade spirit stones. Although in quality they were equivalent to a hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, upper-grade spirit stones were much rarer, and it had taken years to accumulate a thousand. Now they were all used up by Liao Qingfeng.

Even if you get the Qi Condensing Pill and break through to the second level of the Qi Condensing Realm, what's the use? You still can't withstand a punch or kick from others.

"Hmph! Competing with me, you're still too green." Liao Qingfeng was extremely pleased with himself.

Unexpectedly, Gu Sha slowly opened his eyes and calmly uttered a number, "Two million."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Liao Qingfeng looked like he had swallowed a fly, his expression was particularly colorful.

Two million!

That's what you call boldness!

When Gu Sha said this number, his face remained unchanged, as if spirit stones were just numbers to him.

"Young Master Liao, if you can bid more than two million middle-grade spirit stones, the Qi Condensing Pill is yours!" Gu Sha said calmly.

Liao Qingfeng's mouth twitched fiercely. Two million, even for someone as extravagant as him, he didn't have the courage to take out two million.

Although his father had given him a budget of three million middle-grade spirit stones, spending more than half on a single pill was clearly not worth it, especially since there would definitely be more precious items later.

Xiao Long, on the other hand, was overjoyed inside, thinking, "Compete, compete, the fiercer the better."
