Chapter 446 443- Shamelessness All Around (1)

"As you all can see there are two boxes here. The first is the Soul Nourishing pill our Auction House had revealed to the public before the auction."

As the old man said that he came around the small pillar and opened the first box.

A baby-size blue pill was revealed and some people in the audience at the front could instantly feel a warm and comfortable sensation wash over their souls. They were completely shocked.

"As for the second box…"

All eyes in the pavilion suddenly shifted towards the second box next to the Soul Nourishing pill. The instant the old man opened it a weird sensation washed over everyone in the pavilion.

Some people who were weaker suddenly felt danger and the thought of running away past their minds. It almost felt like a terrifying expert had appeared and made an attack to destroy the pavilion.

However, just when they were about to run away in terror, they calmed down and thought something was strange with his attack. Even though felt like an attack, it didn't have any killing intent in it.

"Wait, I know what pill that is!"

Someone who was on the ground level was heard blurting out in shock. He was an Inner Disciple from the Heaven Pillar Sect, the number one Alchemy Sect on the Star Bound Continent.

Inside the second box was an ordinary-looking gray pill with an extraordinary aura. This contrast created a dynamic that made the pill seem mysterious and profound.

On the fourth floor, Gu Jin and Mai Rong had already shot up from their seats and came to the edge of their booths. Gu Jin was seen with a shocked expression as well as an intense desire on his face, one could also speculate Mai Rong had the same look on their face as well.

On the third floor, only Lu Yue and Lu Shin had any reactions. The others were out of the loop as to what that pill was.

As more and more people recognized the pill, the old man smiled at the reaction before saying.

"For those that don't know what this pill is there is no need to feel bad. This pill is called a Nascent Soul Formation pill, it is a rare pill that is almost extinct between our four continents. If one is eaten it could help someone fully condense their Nascent Soul by 90%. That means if one has made sufficient preparations in the Core Formation Realm, it would be impossible to fail the Nascent Realm tribulation and enter the Nascent Soul Realm. If the Soul Nourishing pill is a miracle pill, then this pill is a Godly pill!"

The old man then continued talking a bit more hyping up the two pills with an over-enthusiastic voice, but there was truly no need. The very fact that every single person here was staring at the two pills with desire when they were once afraid of bidding on the Soul Nourishing pill and offending Gu Jin and Mai Rong, says something.

However, there was someone in the crowd that had a different reaction to the Nascent Soul Formation pill. Long Feng had paused his beating of Lan Yu Ze to stare dumbfounded at it.

'Why is there a pill from the Alchemy Sect here in this backwater place?!'

Long Feng screamed internally after confirming this was indeed a pill concocted by the Alchemy Sect on his Central Continent. How could he not recognize it when he had held a few in his hands before? Even though this one looked gray instead of golden, and was slightly weaker in aura compared to the ones he saw back home, he was sure this was the aura of one!

'Ah! I get it now, I get why it looks and feels so weak. It seemed these people found one that age significantly, but where could they have found it? Could this be related to the fact they are descendants of the Ancient Clans back home? Perhaps one had found its way here in the past?'

As Long Feng's speculations run wild in his mind, the old man on stage was still saying his spiel to hype the crowd of disciples.

"One should also note that the reason why this pill is so rare is that it actually came from the Hidden Fragmented Realm. And a tip from this old man to you young ones, you should do everything in your power to get into the Hidden Fragmented Realm. If you don't then you'll regret it for the rest of your lives."

As the old man said that, one could hear something in his voice. Regret.

Long Feng who was listening closely narrowed his eyes at that. He had no interest in this Hidden Fragmented Realm before as his home didn't lack any such separate dimensions, but now his curiosity to look inside had been piqued.

'I'll just take a look and then head home. I've wasted too much time, father and the others are probably thinking of using the Clan's Bloodline Teleportation Circle to force me to return.'

As Long Feng made a decision to enter the Hidden Fragmented Realm, a youth below couldn't take it any longer and suddenly roared out.

"Enough of this spiel, just start the bidding for the pills already!!"

More than a few disciples voice similar sentiments causing the old man to cough in his palm awkwardly before saying.

"These pills will be auctioned as a pair, the bidding will start at Two hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing this, a few disciples who were hopeful realize how foolish it was to have that hope in the first place.

High-grade spirit stones were being casually being thrown around in this auction, but in reality, if a rogue cultivator that had no affiliation to any Sect or Clan had just a few thousand high-grade spirit stones, he would consider himself a bit wealthy.

In the outside world, the main currency was low-grade spirit stones. Mid-grade spirit stones were used as a convenience when the amount of low-grade spirit stones reached too much and would cause a hassle to carry around. Or when the exchange requires it.

As for high-grade spirit stones, those were hardly in circulation in the outside world as any cultivator who got them would just use them to cultivate instead of a currency to buy things.

High-grade spirit stones were only used as currency when wealthy Major powers made deals with each other to buy land, Martial techniques, or large quantities of cultivation resources.

Only scions young masters and young ladies from these power carried around such spirit stones to purchase things.

So despite some feeling hopeless, others instantly jumped up and yell out bidding prices.

However, Gu Jin suddenly snorted loudly and said.

"Four hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"

The disciples who were all increasing their bid by a million or two all looked towards Gu Jin with resentment.

How could he still have so much high-grade spirit stones when he already spent five hundred million previously? Was he carrying around a high-grade spirit stone mine in his back pocket?!

When Gu Jin made his bid, everyone, including Gu Jin himself, looked towards Mai Rong waiting for her to bid. However, only silence came from her booth.

Gu Jin seeing this frowned slightly.

Instead of Gu Mai Rong, the person who bid was Dai Hee.

"I bid five hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"
