The Yikong Trading Company had always collected superior pills. Although the alchemists in the trading company weren't as proficient at refining pills as the five great pill kings, they were superior in appraising the quality of the pills.
Even the Pill King and the others would be mistaken in this regard.
However, the Yihong trading firm had never made a mistake. The medicinal pills that had been appraised by the company were of good quality and definitely passed the test.
Then what kind of pill was this, refined by the Stone Core King and of the highest quality?
Everyone in the auction house became curious. Even Ning Luo couldn't help casting his gaze toward the stage as he waited for Shen Zhuyuan to continue.
Feeling that her gaze was focused on her beautiful body, Shen Zhui seemed to enjoy it. With a proud smile, he opened his mouth slightly.
"This pill is … the Divine Origin Pill."
At the end of her speech, she deliberately dragged out her words, raised her voice, and said the last three words.
Divine Origin Pill!
As these three words sounded out, the entire auction ground began to boil as if it had exploded.
To a cultivator at the Heavenly Transformation Stage, a Divine Origin Pill was a rare pill that could not be found. At the same time, it was also a pill that one had to obtain.
Upon hearing Shen Zhui announce the name of the pill that was about to be auctioned off, Hong Yuan's face instantly flushed red and his eyes became filled with zealousness.
Ning Luo frowned slightly, a trace of seriousness rising in her heart.
He also wanted this Divine Origin Pill, but its uses were different from Hong Yuan and the others.
Shen Zhuyuan could feel that the atmosphere had reached its climax since the beginning of the auction. She couldn't help but feel pleased with herself.
She cleared her throat and motioned for silence.
"Divine Origin Pill has the ability to strengthen the spirit, soul, and spiritual consciousness."
What she said was the fundamental effect of the Divine Origin Pill, and it was also the most important effect that everyone knew.
However, other than these, there was another legend regarding the Divine Origin Pill.
It was said that Xiao Hong and the other two people who comprehended the Dao together took the Divine Origin Pill and finally succeeded in comprehending the Dao.
After that, Xiao Hong and the others broke through to the Heavenly Mage Realm and became the Shakyamuni. They eventually became Giants.
This was a legend that had existed for hundreds of years. There was no way to verify its authenticity, so no one knew if these words came from Xiao Hong and the others.
However, this did not stop countless cultivators from raving over this matter.
How difficult was it to comprehend the Dao? Only a few people were able to reach the Shakyamuni through the realms of millions of Law and Heavenly Realms.
Thus, rather than saying that the crowd firmly believed this legend, it would be more accurate to say that they all wanted to die here.
In these past hundred years, it was unknown whether it was because the Pill King was refining the Divine Origin Pill or because the company was auctioning the pills and spreading them around.
From time to time, a Shakyamuni who had successfully comprehended the Dao after consuming a Divine Origin Pill would appear, leaving behind some indistinguishable traces.
In this way, those Heavenly Law Palace's experts who had failed to comprehend the Dao for decades became even more godlike towards the Divine Origin Pill.
Ning Luo could tell that Hong Yuan also desired this God King Pill.
After all, the success rate of the God King Pill wasn't very high, and it took a long time to refine it.
Even if it was the Five Great Pill Kings, they might not be able to concoct a supreme grade God King Pill within ten years. They also did not know how much effort the God King Pill King had expended to concoct the pill.
Ning Luo also wanted this God King Pill, but it wasn't because she needed it to comprehend the Dao. It was because it could recover her soul and strengthen her consciousness.
Although his master's body had been restored, she couldn't return to her peak state because her soul was damaged.
Moreover, the Sky Demon Spirit needed the blood essence of a hundred living people. Even now, he still hadn't been able to gather all of them. He didn't know if this God King Pill would be of any use.
"Senior brother Hong Yuan, you don't really believe those rumors, do you?"
When Hong Yuan heard this, he came back to his senses. He bitterly smiled and replied, "Junior brother Ning Luo, you just entered the Heavenly Law Palace and still don't know how difficult it is to comprehend the Dao! I would rather believe its existence than not! "
When Ning Luo heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He really didn't know how difficult it was to comprehend the Dao, because he had already comprehended the Dao. Furthermore, the process wasn't that difficult.
Of course, he could not tell these words to Hong Yuan.
He thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Hong Yuan, think about it. No matter how difficult it is to refine a Divine King Pill, wouldn't a once-in-a-decade experience be too exaggerated?"
Ning Luo felt that this must have been a conspiracy between the Pill King and the trading firm, purposely raising the price of the pill.
This was because although the God King Pill was valuable, its original usage was not great.
After all, there weren't many people like Elder Jiu Ming who were able to recover their physical body. The number of people who had their Spirit damaged was extremely few.
When Ning Luo saw Hong Yuan's expression change, she knew she had convinced him. This way, things would be much easier.
As long as Hong Yuan did not fight with him, he would be able to focus on dealing with the others.
No matter how high the price of the God King Pill was, there would be a limit. After all, the authenticity of the rumors had not been verified and no one was a fool.
Ning Luo estimated that he had enough silver taels on him to obtain the God King Pill.
"Alright, everyone, the auction will start now. The starting price is 10,000 taels of silver, and each increment must be at least 1,000 taels."
As soon as Shen Zhui Yuan finished her sentence, the auction started once again.
Many Heavenly Law Realm disciples raised their boards and began to bid. In the space of a few breaths, the price of the God King's Pill had risen to 50,000 silver.
When the price reached fifty thousand taels of silver, many people had no choice but to withdraw from the list.
It wouldn't be an easy feat for even the disciples of the super powers to take out fifty thousand silver in an instant.
Ning Luo had already expected this, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He had plenty of money anyway.
When he had entered the Thousand Demons Sect, he had obtained the first place of the new disciples, which had given him a reward of fifty thousand silver. Later, Elder Jiu Ming had also given him a reward of fifty thousand silver.
In the monthly competition that had just ended, he had once again obtained first place in the outer sect and had obtained a reward of an entire two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Adding on what he had plundered from Xuanyuan Yu and the others, he had a total of five hundred thousand silver taels in his storage ring.
"Room number three will directly raise the bid by 10,000 silver. Now it's 80,000 silver, is there anyone else?"
Ning Luo frowned. It wasn't because of Shen Zhuyuan's words, but rather because of the voice that had raised the bid by ten thousand. It sounded somewhat familiar.
Who could the person in room number 3 be?
While he was frowning and pondering, the price had already reached one hundred thousand taels because box one had someone directly bid another twenty thousand taels.
Ning Luo realized that it was time for him to make a move.
