843: Millennium Blood Jade Marrow

Yue Li lightly raised her fair hand and pulled away the red silk!

Buzz—!

In an instant, an aura as heavy as a mountain, unbreakable and vast, erupted alongside a dazzling, radiant light! There, lying quietly on the tray, was a full-body suit of heavy armor! It was a dark gold color, with an ancient and heavy design, its surface flowing with profound runes, as if pieced together from countless fine dragon scales!

Even more astonishing was that above the dark gold heavy armor, the faint, coiling silhouette of a dragon-turtle roared and floated within the radiant light! It exuded a heart-palpitating aura of primordial wilderness!

"The first auction item—the Profound Turtle Mountain-Shaking Armor!" Yue Li's voice carried a trace of excitement, "This armor was forged using the essence shell of a ten-thousand-year-old profound turtle from the deep sea as its main material, fused with dozens of rare treasures including Star Essence Gold and Dragon Blood Iron! It was painstakingly refined over forty-nine years by a Great Grandmaster Artifact Refiner of our Divine Cult!

It contains a wisp of the soul of an ancient profound turtle, granting it earth-shattering defensive power! When activated, it can form a 'Profound Turtle Spirit Aura' on the surface of the body. At full power, it can withstand a full-force strike from a Void Refinement Mid-stage Cultivator without breaking! It is especially synergistic for Fellow Daoists cultivating earth, water attributes, or Body Cultivation!"

Hiss—!

As soon as Yue Li's words fell, the entire auction hall instantly erupted with a collective gasp of cold air!

Starting off with a high-grade heavenly artifact treasure armor! And such a top-tier piece with its own artifact spirit phantom and defensive power approaching the Void Refining level! The Sun Moon Divine Cult's move was truly astonishing!

"Starting bid—twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! Minimum increment is one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! Let the bidding begin!" Yue Li's voice carried a motivating force.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

"Twenty-three thousand!"

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Twenty-eight thousand!"

Bids rose one after another, instantly igniting the passion of the entire hall! Especially those Cultivators practicing earth or water element techniques, and Body Cultivators with powerful physical bodies—their eyes were red with desire! The enhancement this treasure armor offered them was too great!

Finally, after a fierce contest, it was won by a burly, aura-robust Late Stage Soul Transformation Peak Body Cultivator for the high price of twenty-eight thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones! When that person received the armor, his hands were trembling with excitement!

"Congratulations to this Fellow Daoist on obtaining a heavy treasure!" Yue Li smiled sweetly, "The second auction item, the seventh-order Spirit Medicine 'Nine-Revolutions Dragon Vein Ginseng'! Starting bid, ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones..."

The auction proceeded with fiery intensity.

One after another, Heavenly Artifacts, rare spirit materials, High Grade Medicinal Pills, and uncommon Spirit Medicines—treasures rarely seen on ordinary days—were presented on the auction stage like flowing water.

"Earth Rank Peak Cultivation Technique 'Sea Burning Art'! Starting bid, thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Seventh-Order Peak Medicinal Pill 'Bone Tempering Soul Fusion Pill'! Three pills per bottle, starting bid twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Incomplete Formation Plate 'Zhou Tian Stellar Attraction' unearthed from an ancient ruin! Starting bid eighteen thousand Spirit Stones!"

The atmosphere in the hall continued to heat up, the waves of bidding growing higher and higher! Every hammer fall was accompanied by exclamations, sighs, and wild joy! Wealth was being spent here like water!

However, Yao Delong, situated in the "Xuan Seven" private room, remained as calm as still water.

He sipped fragrant tea, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the crystal screen. His eyes held not the slightest ripple for those treasures that sparked frenzied bidding.

Although these treasures were good, their benefit to his current Realm was limited. His goal was clear and singular—the few core main ingredients for refining the "nine aperture spirit nurturing pill"!

Especially the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow and the nine nether earth core milk, two of the finale items!

Old Black Mu watched from the side, secretly clicking his tongue in amazement. These treasures, which could cause storms of bloodshed in the outside world, were like ordinary goods in his master's eyes, not even worth lifting an eyelid for. He knew well that his master's target was the few finale main ingredients on the list—those were the true prey of this trip!

On the stage, Yue Li took a deep breath, her face blossoming with a smile even brighter and more captivating than before, her voice also taking on an unprecedented solemnity:

"Esteemed Fellow Daoists, next up is the first treasure in the finale sequence of this Wanchuan Auction!"

Her words were like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the anticipation of the entire hall! Everyone held their breath, their gazes burning as they stared at the jade tray, covered with mithril brocade that blocked Divine Thought detection, being carried up by two aura-condensed Nascent Soul Cultivators!

"Eighth Order Peak Spirit Material—Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow!" Yue Li's voice carried a power that pierced through the Divine Soul, "This object is born in a forbidden land where the earth's core magma converges with the essence blood of ancient gods and demons! It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, the Dragon Qi of earth veins, and the blood Qi of gods and demons, taking ten thousand years to form this small piece!

The earth essence and god-demon blood Qi it contains are supreme treasures for tempering a peerless treasure body, igniting the blood Qi Divine Fire, and even breaking through the Physical Body Bottleneck of the Void Refining Realm! It is also an indispensable main ingredient for refining certain legendary eighth-order Treasure Pills!"

Whoosh—!

The entire Ten Thousand Treasures Tower was completely boiling over!

"Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow! It's really the legendary Blood Jade Marrow!"

"Heavens! This... this blood Qi power is too terrifying! Even through the Formation, I can feel my blood Qi churning!"

"With it, my 'Nine Revolutions Blood Fiend Body' is certain to reach Major Achievement!"

Yue Li's gaze swept over the frenzied crowd below and the private rooms above where the auras grew increasingly profound. Her voice rang out clearly:

"For this treasure, the starting bid—one seventh-order Treasure Pill! We only accept bartering! Medicinal Pills, top-tier spirit materials, rare Cultivation Techniques, and secret arts are all acceptable! The value will be judged on the spot by three of our Cult's appraisal Grandmasters! Let the bidding begin!"

As soon as her words fell, an impatient, determined voice came from a corner of the first-floor hall:

"This old man offers one 'Enlightenment Clarity Pill'! pill pattern seven revolutions, seventh-order Medium Grade! It can help a Cultivator significantly increase their Comprehension Ability within half a year, making comprehending techniques and Divine Abilities twice as effective!" A grey-robed old man stood up, confidence on his face. Although this pill didn't directly boost cultivation, it was extremely valuable for Cultivators at a Bottleneck. With this, he immediately set the threshold at seventh-order Medium Grade!

However, before the smile at the corner of his mouth could fully spread—

"Mysterious Three private room, bids: one 'Profound Nether Heart-Protecting Pill', pill pattern nine revolutions, seventh-order Medium Grade! It can preserve the Primordial Spirit from dispersing when severely injured, buying a sliver of life!" A slightly cold, Formation-altered voice came from a private room.

pill pattern nine revolutions! This represented the ultimate quality of a pill, its efficacy far surpassing seven revolutions!

The grey-robed old man's face stiffened, and he sat down dejectedly.

Immediately after, the bidding quickly unfolded among several private rooms upstairs.

"Earth Two private room, bids: one 'Five Elements Heaven-Mending Pill', pill pattern eight revolutions, seventh-order High Grade! It can make up for minor deficiencies in the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, improving the Foundation!"

"Mysterious Five private room, bids: one eighth-order Spirit Medicine 'Yin Yang Twin Lotus'! Contains pure Yin and Yang energies!"

"Heaven Six private room, bids: one ancient, damaged Formation diagram fragment 'Zhou Tian Stellar Attraction'!"

The price climbed step by step! Every bid elicited gasps from the entire hall! Seventh-order High Grade pills, eighth-order Spirit Medicines, ancient Formation diagram fragments... these treasures rarely seen on ordinary days were being tossed out now like cabbages!

When the price was pushed to one seventh-order High Grade Peak pill, the few competing private rooms seemed to fall into a brief silence. Although the Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Jade Marrow was precious, bidding any higher would mean its value was becoming inflated, more a matter of pride than worth.

"Mysterious Three private room, bids: one 'Nine Revolutions Tribulation Transformation Pill', seventh-order High Grade! pill pattern eight revolutions! It can help a Soul Transformation Cultivator withstand one backlash from a minor Heavenly Tribulation!" The Mysterious Three room spoke again, seemingly wanting to seal the deal.

Just as Yue Li's beautiful eyes swept around, preparing to start the countdown—

A calm, steady voice, seemingly devoid of any worldly concern, clearly transmitted through the Formation of the "Xuan Seven" private room, echoing throughout the entire auction hall:

"Xuan Seven private room, bids: one 'god-shattering pill'."

The voice paused briefly, then added four words that exploded like four claps of thunder in everyone's ears:

"pill pattern nine revolutions."
