"Next!"
"The thirty-fifth auction item! This piece was added to the auction by a distinguished individual who temporarily entrusted it to our auction house. However, its caliber is absolutely among the highest of all items auctioned today!"
Following this, the auctioneer opened the brocade box on the auction stand, revealing a pill. This pill was precisely the [Ancestor Breaking Pill]!
In an instant, an extremely potent medicinal fragrance filled the entire venue. Various factions, who had previously shown little interest, were now fully attentive.
"My goodness, what is this..."
"Such a rich medicinal aroma, just a whiff makes one feel refreshed and invigorated!"
"Tsk, damn it, what kind of pill is this? I must have it!!"
The familiar scene unfolded in the auction hall, identical to the moments before with the [Emperor Breaking Pill] and [Venerable Breaking Pill]. However, the medicinal fragrance present now was immeasurably richer than those two.
"Heh heh, esteemed guests may already have some insight into this pill's effects."
Pausing, the auctioneer continued, "This pill is named the [Ancestor Breaking Pill]. According to our auction house's appraisal, it is exceptionally useful for the advancement of Pseudo-Ancestor realm experts. Moreover, the closer one is to the peak of each Pseudo-Ancestor stage, the better its effect. This pill allows those below the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm to advance one level without any side effects!"
Boom!!!
The moment the auctioneer spoke, the entire hall erupted in a frenzy. After a clamor, everyone's gaze turned to the [Ancestor Breaking Pill] on the stage, their eyes burning with fervent desire, as if they wished to possess the pill immediately!
"The specific wondrous effects of this pill are for you to explore, as our auction house has no prior usage records!"
"Furthermore..."
At this point, the auctioneer paused. "The esteemed individual does not lack Emperor Crystals. This [Ancestor Breaking Pill] will be auctioned entirely for spirit herbs!"
"The starting bid is one spirit herb of fifty thousand years!"
The auctioneer immediately stated the starting price, as he understood perfectly that this was merely a prelude to the main event.
"One spirit herb of sixty thousand years!"
"I offer eighty thousand years worth of spirit herbs!"
"One hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs!!"
Instantly, the entire venue was ablaze with excitement. Spirit herbs, once incredibly scarce, were now being bid upon one after another. However, it was clear this was not the end.
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs!!"
At this moment, the aura of a peak eighth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor pulsed through the venue, directly driving the spirit herb's age to two hundred thousand years. Clearly, this prominent figure was determined to acquire it.
"That is... Old Ancestor Black Mountain!!"
Sensing the unique aura, many recognized the individual in the private room, chattering amongst themselves with expressions of awe and apprehension.
Are you kidding?
Although Old Ancestor Black Mountain was only at the peak of the eighth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm, rumors claimed his combat prowess was astonishing. He had even been known to kill ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestors while at a lower cultivation level. Whether this was true or not, no one knew.
"Heh heh..."
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs, first call!"
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs, second call!"
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs, third call!!"
With a decisive bang, the auctioneer's lips curved into a smile. "Congratulations to Old Ancestor Black Mountain for acquiring this [Ancestor Breaking Pill]!!"
Immediately, the auctioneer tossed the [Ancestor Breaking Pill] to Old Ancestor Black Mountain amidst the fervent gazes of the crowd. As for reneging on the deal, that was preposterous!
The mere reputation of Old Ancestor Black Mountain was worth more than two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs!!
"Hahaha, excellent~!"
Upon receiving the [Ancestor Breaking Pill], Old Ancestor Black Mountain immediately swallowed it whole!
Were they kidding? He had been stuck at the peak of the eighth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm for over five hundred years. While it wasn't as agonizing as for Dongfang Wenren, it had still tormented him immensely.
Boom!!!!
After Old Ancestor Black Mountain consumed the [Ancestor Breaking Pill], a torrent of energy surged forth from within, instantly bolstering Old Ancestor Black Mountain's aura by a notch.
Approximately ten breaths later, Old Ancestor Black Mountain's aura had already entered the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm. However, with his accumulated power, the energy from the [Ancestor Breaking Pill] was clearly just the beginning.
Finally, after a hundred breaths, Old Ancestor Black Mountain's aura grew even stronger, directly entering the peak of the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm!
Whoosh~!!!
Facts spoke louder than words. Such a scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, leaving all hearts trembling. My heavens, what a pill! The efficacy of that pill was truly astounding!
One hundred breaths!
In merely one hundred breaths, Old Ancestor Black Mountain had reached the peak of the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm. This spectacle had a profound impact on everyone present.
"This is..."
Old Ancestor Black Mountain came back to his senses, staring at his hands in bewilderment. "My goodness, I've actually broken through like this??"
"Amazing... Not only did I enter the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm, but I also broke through to its peak! This is truly a divine pill!"
With this thought, Old Ancestor Black Mountain looked towards the auction stand. "Esteemed sir, are there any more such pills in this auction!"
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs, I'll take them!"
His domineering voice echoed, and at this moment, various factions began to stir.
While Old Ancestor Black Mountain possessed formidable strength, it did not mean every faction regarded him with extreme dread.
Where there is great profit, there must be brave souls!
"Heh heh, there are indeed."
Upon hearing this, the auctioneer smiled slightly and opened another brocade box. Within it lay two [Ancestor Breaking Pills]. He then said with a chuckle, "As you may have observed."
"That's right, two [Ancestor Breaking Pills]!"
"Next, these two [Ancestor Breaking Pills] will be auctioned simultaneously. The starting bid is one hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs per pill! The bidding begins!!"
Gulp~
Gulp~ Gulp~~
The moment the auctioneer spoke, the eyes of all the bidders in the hall constricted. Good heavens, they were directly offering two of *those* pills.
"Two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs for two pills!"
Old Ancestor Black Mountain, without a second thought, directly stated his bid. He had no time for pleasantries with these people, as having two more pills would bring immense benefits to his faction.
"Three hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs for two pills!!"
As soon as Old Ancestor Black Mountain finished speaking, an expert with the aura of a peak ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor bid, directly adding one hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs for both pills. Upon hearing this voice, Old Ancestor Black Mountain froze, a hint of displeasure flickering in his eyes.
"Three hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs for two pills, plus two hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs!"
However, before Old Ancestor Black Mountain's displeasure could fully manifest, another voice echoed from not too far away. The aura surrounding this individual was already at the absolute peak of the ninth-stage Pseudo-Ancestor realm.
"Heh heh, four hundred thousand years worth of spirit herbs for two pills!"
Then, another voice rang out, immediately sending shockwaves through the entire venue. They clearly recognized the newcomer! "Old Ancestor Medicine King! My goodness, it's him!!"
With Old Ancestor Medicine King's bid, the auction once again fell into a silence. After all, Old Ancestor Medicine King was known as an existence invincible below the Dao Ancestor realm. Many Dao Ancestor realm experts even owed him favors. This fellow was far more terrifying and powerful than Old Ancestor Black Mountain.
Upon hearing Old Ancestor Medicine King's bid, Ye Xuan's lips curved into a brilliant smile. Indeed, these patrons had not disappointed him~~
