Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 647 - 624 Kings Pill (1/3)

The Fire Stone was not immediately handed over; it was to be delivered only after all the auction items had concluded.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion wasn’t worried about defaults either, since everyone had deposited a security deposit. Anyone who defaulted would not only incur a loss, but would also be blacklisted by the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, barring any future dealings with them.

The auction continued, with several Upper Grade Sunshine Realm treasures going up for bidding, which triggered a frenzied scramble.

—— Everyone was here for the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes of Yuwen Sword, and yet this powerful big shot, who had died many years ago, had left behind a legacy so powerful, only a cultivator as potent as the Sunshine King could enter.

This made the treasures of the Sunshine Realm extremely preciously valued, fetching prices much higher than usual.

Zhou Heng too was greatly tempted, yet he was still a Moonlight Emperor; even if he obtained a Sunshine Realm Immortal Artifact, he could not wield its true power, it was purely a waste of money!

His current goal was to buy heavenly and earthly treasures that could rapidly enhance his cultivation level!

"... Next up is a Divine Weapon, a Sublimation Realm level Immortal Spear!" Zhang Mingdong stated in a flat tone.

What! A Sublimation Realm level Divine Weapon!

You must be joking; everyone knows how precious Immortal Artifacts are, the earlier Sunshine Realm Immortal Artifacts had fetched prices over ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones! But the key issue is that Sublimation Realm Immortal Artifacts shouldn’t be auctioned in such an event, they are precious, but they are not urgently needed!

Moreover, which Sunshine King could activate a Sublimation Realm Immortal Artifact?

Selling it is definitely possible, but reaching a high price is unlikely. Such an Immortal Artifact should be auctioned in the Immortal City, inviting over a hundred Sublimation Realm experts; that would certainly incite a mad competition.

A maiden carried over a plate, unveiling the red brocade covering it.

"Oh——" Everyone expressed an epiphany in realization, no wonder there’s a Sublimation Realm Magic Artifact for sale, it had been damaged!

Indeed placed on the plate was a green long spear, but it had been broken into five pieces, no matter if this thing really is a Sublimation Realm Immortal Artifact, a plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken, this Broken Spear now could only be said to contain some Sublimation Realm materials.

Everyone felt deceived, but Zhang Mingdong was a Sublimation Sovereign, and who would dare accuse this old man of fraud?

But on the other hand, if the long spear were to be re-melted, it could still extract materials that are quite precious, of course, compared to an Immortal Artifact, the material’s own value is greatly diminished. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Starting bid at five hundred Upper Grade Immortal Stones!" Zhang Mingdong was definitely not a qualified auctioneer, he hardly ever worked up the atmosphere to stimulate people’s buying desires and competitive spirit, his greater role was to control the scene.

Five hundred Upper Grade Immortal Stones equated to fifty thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones. Considering that a Moonlight Realm martial artist from the Yang family could only get two Lower Grade Immortal Stones a month, one could imagine how enormous the wealth gap was in the Immortal Realm.

"Seven hundred!"

"Eight hundred!"

"One thousand!"

Even though this is a broken Sublimation Realm Immortal Artifact, the material itself is still quite valuable; definitely profitable if bought below three thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones; but any higher, it’s hard to say.

After all, no one knew how much material could be extracted from this Broken Spear—during the refining process, some high-tier materials are one-time use and cannot be recycled.

Zhou Heng, however, was heartfeltly moved; he was different from others, possessing the bloodline of the Gold Devouring Clan, with the ability to enhance his physique by devouring metal!

An Artifact of the Sublimation Realm could elevate his physique by a whole level!

With his physique elevated, not only was his survivability increased, but he could also experiment with more rune combinations, as he was less likely to die.

He decided to make a bid.

"Five thousand!"

The price of the Immortal Artifact quickly soared to five thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones, unfortunately, if it weren’t damaged, not even one hundred times the price could guarantee its acquisition.

"Six thousand!" Zhou Heng entered the bidding.

Over three thousand was too expensive, the vast majority had already given up, now there were only a few bidders left.

"Six thousand two!"

"Six thousand three!"

"Six thousand four!"

No sooner had Zhou Heng spoken than immediately three people bid against each other, not knowing what they were planning, but it was unlikely the same as Zhou Heng wanting to devour this Immortal Artifact.

Perhaps someone wanted to repair this Immortal Weapon, or perhaps someone wanted to study the Array Patterns on it—if they were still preserved.

Zhou Heng didn’t care what others were up to; since this Immortal Weapon hadn’t attracted much attention, he was determined to have it.

He now had an allocation of forty thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones, enough to be generous!

"Seven thousand!" he boasted confidently.

"Seven thousand one!"

"Eight thousand!" Zhou Heng’s bids were even quicker, barely waiting for someone else to make an offer before immediately adding a thousand more.

Squandering like a wastrel!

Many already thought so in their hearts, auctions also involve skill and psychology; Zhou Heng in such a belligerent manner might intimidate others, but it might also provoke the opposite party to contend just out of spite.

"Eight thousand one!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Nine thousand one!"

"Ten thousand!"

Zhou Heng’s expression didn’t change, for Immortal Stones were merely symbols in his eyes; he didn’t need Immortal Stones, only what they could buy.

After Zhou Heng bid ten thousand, his few competitors all backed down.

As for examining the Array Patterns on the Immortal Weapon... it was questionable whether any patterns were left at all. And when it came to repairs, who could guarantee success? Spending a few thousand Immortal Stones was just taking a chance, but any higher was a loss.

With three strikes of the hammer, Zhou Heng had successfully acquired another good item—as it seemed to him.

The auction continued, and Black Donkey, not to be outdone, bid a few times while Zhou Heng wasn’t paying attention, mostly getting outbid, but eventually nobody bid higher, and he reluctantly won.

"Don’t be reckless!" Zhou Heng said, as he still needed money for potential treasures later.

"Let me buy one more item!" Black Donkey bargained, "You bought two items, Donkey Master also wants two!"

This darn donkey really didn’t want to be at a loss at all.

Zhou Heng shook his head, saying, "If you keep bidding recklessly, I’ll seal your mouth and make you unable to speak for a thousand years!"

"Zhou, aren’t you being too cruel?" Black Donkey was scared, driven by its greed and inability to keep quiet; keeping it from speaking was like asking for its life.

"From now on, if you see something good, you’ll be responsible for bidding!" Zhou Heng stepped back.

"Deal!" The darn donkey grinned broadly again.

After the auction of several Sunshine Realm-level treasure artifacts, Zhang Mingdong brought out an ancient piece of paper, saying, "This is a lost Pill Recipe that can be used to craft Seventh Grade Earth Connecting Pills to help cultivators in the Sublimation Realm enhance their insight!"

Seventh Grade Pills!

No matter the effect of the pill, being classified as a Seventh Grade Pill meant it was absolutely precious!

And a lost Pill Recipe... was invaluable!

What do Pill Masters want the most?

First is to enhance their own alchemy abilities, and second is to acquire more Pill Recipes, just like Martial Artists want to learn more Martial Arts Techniques—it simply never ends!

Even if one can’t perform alchemy oneself, presenting this Pill Recipe to a Seven Star, or even Eight Star or Nine Star Pharmacist, would certainly delight them immensely!

A huge favor!

Owing a favor to a high-tier Pharmacist meant that one could have high-tier pills crafted in the future without having to beg and plead everywhere.

It must be obtained!

"Starting bid at twenty thousand upper grade Immortal Stones!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

The crowd went crazy bidding, not just the Sublimation Realm experts on the sixth floor, but also the people below were not cowed.

This Pill Recipe could at least win over a Seven Star Pharmacist, and what did a Seven Star Pharmacist mean? Having a bunch of Sublimation Emperor friends willing to risk their lives for you!

If one could befriend a Seven Star Pharmacist, what did it matter if a few Sublimation Sovereigns or Emperors were offended? Besides, many among them had Sublimation Realm forces as backers—they just hadn’t shown up.

—Without the support from Sublimation Realm forces, they actually didn’t have such deep pockets to compete.

In the end, the Pill Recipe was auctioned off for an astonishing four hundred and twenty thousand upper grade Immortal Stones, surpassing even the price of a Sublimation Realm Immortal Weapon! It landed in the hands of a mysterious figure shrouded in a cloak in the hall; evidently, the cloak was extraordinary as even the Divine Sense of Sublimation Realm experts couldn’t penetrate it.

The auction continued, and there were indeed many fine items. Subsequently, a Purple Crystal Dragon’s Beard Ginseng caused a huge stir.

This was a Divine Medicine with at least seventy thousand years of medicinal age, capable of increasing one’s lifespan by another ten thousand years!

Even Immortals couldn’t be eternally youthful and deathless; who wouldn’t be tempted by an extra ten thousand years of life?

Nobody would complain about living too long!

This Divine Medicine also fetched a high price, two hundred and seventy thousand upper grade Immortal Stones, making Zhou Heng secretly exclaim at the wealth of the bidders, while Black Donkey kept egging him on to rob.

Rob your sister!

Zhou Heng saw clearly; this Divine Medicine had been won by a Sublimation Realm expert on the sixth floor, and robbing such an expert was courting death!

Besides, he was far from worrying about his lifespan running out!

The atmosphere of the auction remained heated. Although Zhang Mingdong was far from a qualified auctioneer, the order of the auction items was well arranged, so there were never any dull moments, keeping everyone’s nerves taut and their desire to compete strong.

At this moment, the second Soul Consolidating Pill was brought out, fetching fifty-three thousand upper grade Immortal Stones, which made Zhou Heng very happy as it meant he had more leeway if more good items were offered next.

"Next up is a Divine Pill that grants immense benefits!" Zhang Mingdong kept his deadpan expression, his voice calm and untroubled, "Kings Pill, capable of enhancing the cultivation of Martial Artists below the Sublimation Realm by up to one minor realm!"

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, and although the Sunshine Realm might not count as a very strong expert in the Immortal Realm, didn’t every strong person start from the Sunshine Realm? To increase one’s cultivation by a minor realm out of thin air would save so much time!

But then again, the Moonlight Emperor taking this Kings Pill might not be able to advance to the Sunshine Realm, and if the Sunshine King took it and directly shot up to Sunshine Sovereign, wouldn’t he be barred from entering the Imperial Dragon Hall?

Of course, buying it now doesn’t mean it must be consumed immediately, but because of the awkward timing, it greatly reduced the desire of many to compete.(To be continued.
