Chapter 667: Chapter 457: The Value of a Holy Pill and Uncovering Shady Dealings

Fortunately, Lin Chang’sheng had just finished off Gao Yao, so altogether he still had about 150,000 Immortal Crystals on hand.

"120,000 Immortal Crystals!"

Lin Chang’sheng raised the price again.

"130,000!"

But the other side showed no sign of backing down, upping the price once more with a cold smirk aimed at Lin Chang’sheng, as if to say, "If you want it, I’m damn sure you won’t get it."

"130,000 going once, 130,000 going twice..."

"150,000 Immortal Crystals!"

Just as the Spirit Medicine was about to fall into the hands of the Blood Robe Sect, Lin Chang’sheng bid again.

If they want it so badly, then he might as well make them bleed a little for it!

150,000 Immortal Crystals was no small sum—this already far surpassed the Spirit Medicine’s original value.

He wanted to see just how far the other side would dare to go.

If they actually had the guts to keep bidding, Lin Chang’sheng would just back off, then rob them later without spending a single Immortal Crystal.

The Blood Robe Sect’s Elder clearly hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and shouted, "160,000 Immortal Crystals!"

Even if it hurt, he couldn’t let this thing fall into Lin Chang’sheng’s hands.

"The herb’s yours, then!"

Lin Chang’sheng scoffed coldly.

It was obvious continuing to bid made no sense, especially since he had a way to take it without paying a dime—no need to throw away such an outrageous amount for it.

In the end, the Spirit Medicine was won by the Blood Robe Sect at 160,000 Immortal Crystals.

"We at the Divine Pill Pavilion have more Spirit Medicine like that. If you really want some, just have my dad get it for you!"

Zhu Xuan whispered by his side.

She was worried Lin Chang’sheng might be upset over competing for just one Spirit Medicine.

Unconsciously, Zhu Xuan’s attitude toward Lin Chang’sheng had changed completely.

"It’s just a damn plant."

Lin Chang’sheng replied simply.

He looked as if he didn’t care at all, but deep down he’d already sentenced the Blood Robe Sect to death.

Those guys were probably never making it back to their Sect.

The auction went on, and there were plenty more items catching Lin Chang’sheng’s attention; he spent 30,000 Immortal Crystals on a massive Spirit Beast Bag, with space enough to cover thirty miles inside.

Now the various Demon Beasts living in Lin Chang’sheng’s cramped Spirit Beast Bag would have much more comfortable quarters.

He could easily give each beast its own territory.

After all, Lin Chang’sheng already had a bunch of Demon Beasts in his collection—besides Xiaobai and Xiaonan, he’d made contracts with the Bloodthirsty Taotie, the Myriad Year Tree Demon, the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle, the Fire Qilin, and the Double-headed Fire Phoenix.

They could keep getting stronger, and would only bring Lin Chang’sheng more benefits.

Of course Lin Chang’sheng wanted them living comfortably too, so their cultivation would soar even faster.

It seemed that the Blood Robe Sect had burned too many Immortal Crystals fighting Lin Chang’sheng for the Spirit Medicine, and didn’t have the nerve to compete with him anymore.

And the Celestial Nether Sword Sect and the others couldn’t be bothered fighting Lin Chang’sheng over just a Spirit Beast Bag.

After that, Lin Chang’sheng spent another 50,000 Immortal Crystals on a piece of Beast Bone.

The Beast Bone gleamed with incredibly profound Divine Patterns—obviously not something ordinary. Just which mighty Spirit Beast had died to leave behind this relic, nobody could guess.

Lin Chang’sheng believed that, thanks to his own talent, unraveling the mystery of this Beast Bone was only a matter of time.

Maybe some kind of powerful Immortal Technique was hidden inside—who knows?

Aside from these two things, Lin Chang’sheng left the rest of the treasures alone. The real bidding battles were between the Major Sects and a bunch of Loose Cultivators, going at it hard.

Especially the second and third grade Elixirs—each went for tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals apiece.

This genuinely surprised Lin Chang’sheng—he hadn’t expected second and third grade Elixirs to sell so well.

If he refined ten or twenty batches, wouldn’t that be hundreds of thousands of Immortal Crystals in the bag, just like that?

The auction raged on, coming to a fever pitch.

"Everyone, next up is the grand finale of the auction!"

With the Chief Steward’s announcement, the atmosphere hit its peak.

A young Alchemy Disciple walked out carrying a box, placing it carefully onto the center table.

This box was no ordinary container—it was crafted from Golden Spirit Nanmu wood, a type of Spirit Wood absolutely saturated with Spiritual Energy, and perfect for housing Elixirs.

Storing Elixirs this way meant the Spiritual Energy would never seep away, and their potency would stay at its absolute peak.

Click—

The Chief Steward opened the box, and instantly a dazzling light exploded outward—rich Elixir aroma spread out, washing over the entire hall in an instant.

Immediately, all the cultivators around felt a strange change inside their bodies.

It was as if every pore on their bodies gaped open, madly sucking in the potent Elixir essence radiating out.

Some Void Refining Cultivators on the verge of breaking through, with just one whiff of the Holy Pill, suddenly felt themselves teetering on the edge of advancement.

"Is... is this a Holy Pill? How could its medicine scent be this intense? I swear my cultivation just improved on the spot!"

"Yeah! With just one breath of that Holy Pill, I’ve almost broken through!"

"This is nuts! Are Holy Pills really this powerful?"

"You needed proof? Just a single whiff adds decades of lifespan—it’s no joke!"

"So if you actually took one, that’s a whole new body, and your cultivation skyrockets?"

...

The crowd buzzed with shocked chatter—no one doubting the Holy Pill’s mind-blowing effects.

And this was just from a whiff—if you actually consumed it, how insane would it be?

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the crowning treasure of today’s auction: the Primordial Golden Pill. It was refined by an Honored Guest Elder of our Divine Pill Pavilion and is classified as an Intermediate Holy Pill. At present, only our Pavilion can make them—there are no branches or copies elsewhere. I don’t think I need to say more about its effects: just a sniff will wash your marrow and cut your veins anew, extending your life by decades; eat it and you’ll shed your old self, your cultivation will soar off the charts! The starting bid is 100,000 Immortal Crystals, with each increase no less than 10,000!"
