133: Ancient Dragon Elephant True Blood Extraordinary Improvement!
“One hundred million!”
A gloomy voice sounded again. From inside the private room, a wisp of Aura leaked out—God Realm!
The Faces of some of the bidders near the private room changed.
“God Realm…”
“The Aura is leaking out, it seems he’s approaching his limit.”
Inside the private room, Han Li felt that powerful wisp of Aura.
It should be a powerhouse of the Divine Hidden Realm.
Among the Nine Provinces of the Wu Dynasty, there were hundreds of God Realm powerhouses in total, so encountering one here wasn’t too surprising.
Within the imperial court alone, there were quite a few existences with God Realm powerhouses.
However, Divine Hidden Realm powerhouses were still relatively rare.
The Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect only had this level of Cultivation.
And among the Twelve Sects, apart from Cangjian Palace and Tai Xuan Sect, most others were at the Divine Hidden Realm.
Advancing in the God Realm was even more difficult.
“One hundred and ten million!”
After a few breaths, another private room made a bid, showing no fear.
The third voice did not appear.
Now, only two parties remained in contention.
“One hundred and twenty million!”
The low voice sounded again, and the Aura emanating from it seemed to grow slightly stronger.
The price increase directly started at ten million Spirit Stones.
“One hundred and thirty million!” From another private room, it seemed as if the Aura wasn't felt, and a bid was made again.
This time, the other private room fell silent for a long time.
Just as Zi Han was about to speak, the gloomy voice sounded again.
“Two hundred million!”
As the price was announced, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
In one breath, the price was raised by seventy million!
Two hundred million Spirit Stones, this could be called an exorbitant price.
However, this purple lotus heavenly flower was no ordinary item; it extended lifespan by a thousand years.
For powerhouses on the verge of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, let alone a few hundred million, even investing everything would be no problem.
Strength was the foundation; as long as one lived, money could be earned again.
And at this moment, the gloomy voice sounded again.
“Fellow Daoist Xiong, could you give this old man some Face?”
“Hmm?”
“Is that a threat?”
Inside the private room, Han Li blinked, listening to these words.
Bidding two hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, it seemed this God Realm powerhouse had reached his limit.
Listening to these words, the other private room fell silent.
After a while, Zi Han spoke to confirm again, waiting for the time. Once no more bids were made, the hammer fell.
“Congratulations to bidder number four-eight-five for successfully acquiring the purple lotus heavenly flower!”
Zi Han's voice rang out, and the gloomy voice also came from the private room, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiong, for yielding. This old man will surely repay you another day.”
“Brother Tianya, you are too polite.”
At this moment, a deep voice came from another private room... “Tianya... Fellow Daoist Xiong, could it be those two Supreme powerhouses?”
At this moment, inside the private room, Bai Yi murmured to himself, as if he had guessed their identities.
Hearing this, Han Li looked at him with great curiosity.
“Brother Bai, do you know these two powerhouses?”
“Hmm, I suppose so.”
Bai Yi nodded.
Han Li's eyes darted around, looking at him and asking, “Then who are these two? What kind of divine beings are they?”
“One is called True Monarch Tianya, a hidden Supreme powerhouse of the Wu Dynasty, a Loose Cultivator with no sect or faction. I heard he obtained the Legacy of an Ancient Supreme Paragon, and within a hundred years, he Broke Through to the God Realm and achieved Supreme status. It has been several hundred years since then. I heard my Master mention him, but I have never met him.”
“True Monarch Tianya…”
Listening to Bai Yi reveal his identity, Han Li committed it to memory.
“The other, well, is a Supreme powerhouse named Xiong Ba. He’s not a Supreme powerhouse of our Wu Dynasty. It seems he’s a Supreme powerhouse from Baoyue Country, the Sect Leader of the largest great sect in Baoyue Country, the Tianxia Sect (All Under Heaven Sect). That should be it.”
Bai Yi said slowly.
“Xiong Ba? Tianxia Sect?”
Han Li was astonished.
Why not call it the Tianxia Association… This name really made Han Li feel a bit surprised.
However, in the vast human world, it wasn't uncommon for people to have the same name.
It's just that this name was a bit powerful!
Xiong Ba, Tianxia Sect!
The implication was to dominate all under heaven!
... The first finale treasure was acquired by True Monarch Tianya, and the auction continued.
Although the subsequent items were not as formidable as the longevity divine medicine, they were still rare treasures.
The atmosphere of the auction was once again pushed to its Peak.
—
“Next, we have a special auction item, the True Blood of an Ancient Vicious Beast.”
On the auction stage, Zi Han's voice rang out, sweeping across the entire venue.
Subsequently, a person stepped onto the stage, holding a jade-colored gourd in their hand.
Visibly, the jade gourd was filled with liquid.
“Ancient Vicious Beast True Blood?!”
“They can even get this stuff?”
Han Li looked at the auction stage in surprise.
At this moment, on the auction stage, Zi Han's voice sounded again: “This True Blood has had its demonic fiendish Qi removed, but the power of the True Blood within it is still preserved. It is a rare treasure blood. This is also the treasure blood of an Ancient Dragon Elephant Vicious Beast. Refining this treasure blood can strengthen oneself and provide a good improvement. It can also be used in Alchemy. Now for auction, starting price, ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood!”
Listening to Zi Han's voice, Han Li's pupils instantly constricted.
He might not care about other Ancient Vicious Beasts, but if it was the True Blood of an Ancient Dragon Elephant, then he would be tempted.
The Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art contained specific instructions that if one found Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood to Cultivate with, it would provide an immense boost to oneself.
And this kind of improvement was unparalleled.
Han Li had also seen descriptions of the Ancient Dragon Elephant in books; it was a terrifying existence known as one of the Ten Primordial Fiends.
Killing True Dragons was not a problem for it.
Its fierce reputation was well-known.
But in the current era, such terrifying existences were basically no longer present.
Han Li hadn't expected the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood to appear at this auction.
Given the formidable power of the Ancient Dragon Elephant, how did Tian Yuan Commerce get their hands on it?
Such terrifying behemoths were existences comparable to Supreme Paragons.
How could they obtain this?
Could it be that Tian Yuan Commerce also had an existence comparable to a Supreme Paragon?
That was unlikely.
What was the situation then?
“Never mind all that, let’s just acquire it first.” His thoughts spun rapidly, and Han Li instantly sobered up.
At this moment, the auction price for the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood had already reached sixty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Han Li didn't hesitate, directly adding ten thousand to participate in the auction.
“Brother Han, are you interested in this item?”
Beside him, Bai Yi looked at him and asked in surprise.
From the beginning until now, this was the first time Han Li had made a bid.
Han Li nodded.
Watching the price rise again, he once again added ten thousand to the price... After several rounds, Han Li finally acquired this gourd of Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood for a price of two hundred and fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Two hundred and fifty thousand… Big Brother Han, are you alright?” Beside him, Bai Yu couldn't help but blink.
Han Li smiled: “To be honest, I Cultivate a martial arts that requires various Vicious Beast True Blood. Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood is the best, and it’s rare to encounter it today, so I made a bid. What needs to be spent, will be spent.”
“I see…” Bai Yu nodded.
And beside him, Bai Yi looked at him and said, “I do know of one Ancient Dragon Elephant that is still alive.”
“Hmm?”
“Where?” Han Li asked in surprise.
“Central Earth Holy Land.” Bai Yi said.
Han Li: “…”
Central Earth Holy Land… It’s the Central Earth Holy Land again!
“This Ancient Dragon Elephant is a Guardian Divine Beast of a Central Earth Holy Land, comparable to a Supreme Paragon.” Bai Yi explained.
“…”
Comparable to a Supreme Paragon!
Bai Yi's words directly doused the fire in his heart with a basin of cold water.
An Ancient Dragon Elephant comparable to a Supreme Paragon, he might as well forget about it.
One glance from it would probably be enough to kill him a hundred times over.
“What is the name of that Central Earth Holy Land?” Han Li asked.
“Qiankun Holy Land, I think, I haven't been there, I only heard my Revered Master mention it.” Bai Yi said.
“Qiankun Holy Land!” Han Li nodded.
Although he wasn't qualified yet, if he reached a certain level of strength in the future, he would still go and see it.
Perhaps it could elevate his Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art to the next level.
“If you’re interested, after the auction ends, I can have someone contact the auctioneer. Then, for a bit of money, you might have an unexpected harvest.” Bai Yi looked at him and said.
“Then thank you, Brother Bai.” Han Li was delighted.
“Small matter.” Bai Yi smiled… Soon, the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood that Han Li had acquired was delivered.
Han Li readily paid the Spirit Stones, looking at the jade gourd in his hand.
Opening the jade gourd, a strong bloody Aura permeated out.
This wasn't red blood, but rather a purplish-gold colored blood.
The moment the jade gourd was opened, deep within Han Li's flesh and blood, the seven Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos and twenty-three Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos all emitted excited signals.
Longing!
At this, Han Li was certain that this was absolutely the real deal.
Recapping the jade gourd, Han Li temporarily placed it in his cosmos ring.
He would refine it after the auction ended, when he returned.
It would surely boost his strength considerably.
Han Li could directly absorb the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood by activating the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art.
Absorb it just like absorbing spiritual liquid.
For his Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos and Divine Embryos to have such a strong reaction, the improvement would definitely not be insignificant.
Han Li even felt a sense of impatience.
But for now, he endured it... The auction continued, and the second finale treasure appeared—a Medicinal Pill.
Earth Origin Divine Pill!
Even for Peak of the Acquired Realm Martial Artists, it offered a significant boost.
It could even increase the chances of Breaking Through to the God Realm, although only by twenty percent, which was still incredible.
The starting bid was also one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Han Li could only watch.
This price was not something he could contend for.
Finally, it was sold for fifteen million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Compared to the price of the longevity divine medicine, it was a huge difference.
Of course, they couldn't be compared... Time passed by the minute and second. When the last auction item concluded, it was already midnight.
The auction ended and dispersed. Bai Yi had also informed the auction house staff, and soon, a knock came at the private room door. A beautiful woman in a purple palace dress walked in.
“Commander Bai, what is the urgent matter that you summoned this concubine for?” Zi Han asked with a smile.
Bai Yi shook his head, “It’s not that I have something, but rather my friend here has something he wants to ask you, to inquire about something.”
“Oh?”
Zi Han's bright eyes looked at Han Li, sweeping over him with a slight surprise: “Could this be… the champion of the Nine Provinces Tournament, the Prodigy Han Li of the Qingyuan Sect?”
“It is I. Greetings, Miss Zi.” Han Li cupped his hands.
“Then you are truly a rare guest. I never expected to meet Young Master Han here.”
Zi Han looked at him with a smile.
“I have a matter I wish to inquire about, and I hope Miss Zi can provide an answer. Of course, I will not let Miss Zi waste her breath; I will certainly pay whatever is due.”
Han Li said.
Miss Zi smiled, pushing a strand of hair from her forehead. She said, "Young Master Han, there's no need to be so polite. I also wanted to get to know Young Master Han. What would Young Master Han like to know?"
"It's about the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood," Han Li said.
"Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood..."
Miss Zi looked at him, her bright eyes blinking. "Young Master Han, you need Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood?"
"Indeed, I have that need, so I wanted to ask Miss Zi," Han Li nodded.
Miss Zi pondered for a moment.
At this time, Brother Bai saw the situation and said, "Brother Han, we'll wait for you outside."
With that, Brother Bai pulled Bai Yu and left the private room.
Watching the two leave, Miss Zi looked back at Han Li and said, "Young Master Han wants to know about the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood. It's not that I can't tell you, but..."
"A small token of my appreciation, it's nothing much!" Han Li took out a hundred treasure sack.
Miss Zi looked at the hundred treasure sack in front of her and chuckled, "Young Master Han, do you really think I'm someone who sees money and gets greedy?"
"This is just a small gesture," Han Li said.
Miss Zi smiled and said, "There's no need for money. I can tell Young Master Han about the origin of the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood, but I have a small request. I wonder if Young Master Han can agree?"
"What request?" Han Li asked, looking at Miss Zi.
"A promise from Young Master. If I ever encounter any trouble in the future, I hope Young Master Han can assist me once. I wonder if Young Master Han can agree?"
Miss Zi spoke.
Han Li frowned, looking at Miss Zi.
"Miss Zi, you're not asking me to commit murder or arson, are you?"
"Young Master Han, what are you saying? Am I that kind of person?" Miss Zi rolled her eyes, her Face full of charm.
"Then that's fine, I can agree," Han Li nodded.
Miss Zi smiled, then said, "In that case, that's excellent. Actually, this portion of Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood came from an Ancient Ruins, which our commerce accidentally obtained. And this Ancient Ruins is located in a Barbarian Territory on the Southern Continent."
"Southern Continent, Barbarian Territory?"
Han Li looked at Miss Zi.
Miss Zi looked at him and said, "How about this, Young Master Han, it's getting very late. Tomorrow, I will contact you, and then I can give you a detailed map. You'll know once you see it."
"You don't have it now?" Han Li looked at her.
Miss Zi looked at him and said, "Young Master Han, you have to give me some time, right?"
"In that case, many thanks, Miss Zi," Han Li cupped his hands.
"Young Master Han, no need to be polite. Let's leave an imprint first for easier contact later," Miss Zi said.
Han Li nodded, then exchanged sound transmission imprints.
Following that, Miss Zi left.
Han Li watched her retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and then stepped out of the private room as well. "How was it? Did you gain anything?" Stepping out of Tian Yuan Commerce, Brother Bai asked as they walked.
"She'll contact me tomorrow. She mentioned a general location, in the Barbarian Territory of the Southern Continent."
Han Li said.
"Barbarian Territory! That far!"
Brother Bai was surprised.
Han Li looked at him and said, "Brother Bai, have you been there?"
"I went once. It's already close to the shores of the North Sea. The Barbarian Race, although similar to the Human Race, is fundamentally different. Their customs are fierce, and they are somewhat exclusive towards the Human Race. The Barbarian Territory is vast, and these Barbarian Race members are also powerful. It's not a benevolent place."
Brother Bai slowly said.
"I see. We'll see then," Han Li said.
"Mm, still, be careful," Brother Bai nodded.
"Big Brother Han, what conditions did that woman propose?" Bai Yu asked from the side.
"No conditions, just making a friend," Han Li said.
"Big Brother Han, I think that woman probably fancies you, right?" Bai Yu said as they walked.
Han Li: "..."
"No such thing, you're overthinking it," Han Li said.
"Making a friend, that is the condition. Your potential and current strength are enough," Brother Bai said.
"Understood," Han Li nodded. Soon, the group returned to the mansion.
In his room at the mansion, Han Li took out the gourd of Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood. Opening the jade gourd, the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo and Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo within his body instantly became restless, emitting a craving thought.
Han Li looked at this gourd of Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood, clearly feeling the changes within it.
Immediately, Han Li went to a large wooden tub in the room.
The wooden tub was filled with water. Han Li poured the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood into the tub, and it was instantly stained by the blood of the Primordial Dragon Elephant.
A bloody Aura permeated the air.
"Gurgle gurgle—"
The water mixed with the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood bubbled, as if boiling.
Han Li immediately stripped off his clothes and entered the wooden tub.
He circulated the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art, and in an instant, a phantom image of an Ancient Dragon Elephant manifested behind him.
The Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood quickly penetrated into his pores.
Inside Han Li's body, seven Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo and twenty-three Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo instantly boiled.
Absorbing the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood, they were full of vitality.
Han Li could feel his strength continuously increasing.
A new Dragon Elephant Embryo appeared.
Purplish-gold light permeated his skin... Time passed minute by minute.
In the dead of night, Wu Capital was still bustling and prosperous.
And in a quiet mansion within Wu Capital City, a graceful figure appeared. It was none other than Miss Zi from the auction.
Arriving outside a room, Miss Zi knocked on the door.
The next moment, the tightly shut door opened, and Miss Zi stepped into the room.
Inside the room, dim lamplight rose, and a black-robed middle-aged man appeared.
"Greetings, my Lord."
The black-robed middle-aged man looked at Miss Zi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"So late, what is it?"
"I just met someone," Miss Zi said.
"Who?" the black-robed middle-aged man said indifferently.
"Han Li of Qingyuan Sect," Miss Zi replied.
"Han Li... the champion of the Nine Provinces Tournament?" the black-robed middle-aged man asked, looking at Miss Zi.
"Precisely," Miss Zi nodded.
"You and him, do you perhaps have a story?" the black-robed middle-aged man asked, looking at Miss Zi.
Miss Zi's expression changed, and she shook her head, saying, "No, my Lord, he sought me to inquire about the whereabouts of the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood."
"Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood..."
The black-robed middle-aged man looked at Miss Zi, pondered for a moment, and said, "He must be cultivating some martial arts related to the Ancient Dragon Elephant Cultivation Technique, which is why he wants to find Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood to improve himself. This is normal. How did you respond?"
"I promised him that I would give him a map tomorrow," Miss Zi said.
"You agreed so easily? You're quite bold!" The black-robed middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and a terrifying Aura instantly permeated the air.
Miss Zi immediately bowed, saying, "My Lord, this person's talent is exceptional, and his potential is immense. In the future, there is a high possibility of him Breaking Through to the God Realm. I merely wish to befriend him, so that our commerce will have one more friend in the future."
"Oh?"
"Is that so?" The terrifying Aura on the black-robed middle-aged man instantly vanished, the frost on his Face dissipated, and his hands fell on Miss Zi's fragrant shoulders. Miss Zi's delicate body instinctively trembled.
"In that case, that's a good thing. I misunderstood you."
"Miss Zi has no ulterior motives and is wholeheartedly loyal to the commerce!" Miss Zi straightened up and said.
"Mm, very good," the black-robed middle-aged man nodded, then released his hands.
"Did you not have any personal conditions?" the black-robed middle-aged man asked, looking at Miss Zi.
"None."
"If my Lord is not at ease, you can meet him in person tomorrow," Miss Zi said.
"Haha, I was just asking, you don't need to worry about anything," the black-robed middle-aged man chuckled.
Then, he looked at Miss Zi and said, "Alright, you can give him the map. There's no problem with that."
"Yes, I will go and do that now," Miss Zi nodded, then turned to leave.
"Wait." Just then, the black-robed middle-aged man spoke again. Miss Zi turned around, looked at him, and said, "Does my Lord have any other instructions?"
The black-robed middle-aged man stepped forward, placing a hand on her jade-like cheek, and said, "The map is a small matter, it can be handled in a moment. There's still plenty of time."
"My Lord, I... I'm a little tired today," Miss Zi said, her delicate body trembling.
"Tired? But I'm very agitated right now!" the black-robed middle-aged man said indifferently.
Hearing this, Miss Zi's pretty Face instantly flushed crimson. Finally, she knelt down... "Splash—!"
At dawn, Han Li instantly rose from the wooden tub, water droplets dripping from his skin.
In one night, he had completely absorbed all the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood.
The improvement was also incredibly significant.
It even exceeded his imagination.
With just this gourd of Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood, he had directly increased to fifty Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo.
Among them, the Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo also increased to fifteen.
His own strength directly Broke Through to over three million jin, reaching close to 3.4 million jin of strength.
With pure strength alone, he was enough to crush all Peak of the Acquired Realm existences, directly exploding them.
This change was even more terrifying than the improvements he had gained from slaughtering the Demonic Sect in the past.
Looking inward at his body, within his flesh and blood, fifteen Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo emitted a purple light, and the remaining thirty-five Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo also became full of vitality.
The improvement from the Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood this time was unprecedented.
His internal organs, flesh, tendons, and bones also improved along with his increase in strength.
His bones, at least over half of them, had transformed into a gleaming color.
He was less than halfway to the Perfection of the Gleaming Overlord Body.
"It seems I must make a trip to the Barbarian Territory."
Dressing himself, Han Li looked out the window, his eyes shining brightly.
This wave of improvement was so powerful, its effects were unexpected even by Han Li.
He absolutely had to go to the Barbarian Territory!
If he could obtain more Primordial Dragon Elephant True Blood, his strength would increase explosively.
With enough improvement, he could even contend with the God Realm.
Although the gap with the God Realm was still like an unbridgeable chasm, the distance was gradually shrinking.
The power of the God Realm was at least a million tripods of strength.
Fists that could destroy mountains and rivers, like Immortals and Gods!
This was the terror of the God Realm.
And his strength, although it had reached 3.4 million jin, was still only about less than ninety thousand tripods of strength.
The gap was imaginable.
The God Realm versus the Innate Realm was a qualitative difference, transcending the ordinary and entering the sacred!
