155: Breaking Extreme Pill

Hearing these three words, Lu Xingchen was startled.

Soul Refining Art?

Judging by the name of this Martial Skill, it seems to be a Martial Skill that can enhance Soul Power!

He had really stumbled upon something good this time!

Ke Ke continued to introduce, "As is widely known, the main direction of Human Race Cultivation is Martial Dao, but there are also other auxiliary professions, such as Alchemists, Spirit Array Masters, Blacksmiths, etc."

"And to make a name for oneself in these auxiliary professions, Soul Power is indispensable. Generally speaking, a Martial Artist's Soul Power will slowly increase with the progress of their Qi."

"And this 'Soul Refining Art' can greatly accelerate the speed of Soul Power Cultivation. Although its grade is only earth rank low grade, its value far exceeds that of a general earth rank mid grade Martial Skill."

"The starting bid is fifty thousand gold coins, and each increment must not be less than five thousand gold coins. The auction begins!"

Hearing Ke Ke's words, Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

The people of the Black Flame Sect actually knew the wonders of Soul Power, which showed they had some foundation.

However, he guessed that not many people would bid for this scroll of 'Soul Refining Art'.

Because Soul Power is not that easy to Cultivate.

Sure enough, as Ke Ke's voice fell, the entire hall fell silent, with no one raising their bid paddle.

This situation was beyond Ke Ke's expectation, and she frowned slightly.

A Martial Skill for Cultivating Soul Power, and no one was interested?

The whispers from below the stage answered the question in her heart.

"It sounds good, but Soul Power is not that easy to Cultivate. If one doesn't have the Aptitude, even if they bid for this 'Soul Refining Art', it will still be difficult to make progress."

"Exactly, exactly. Soul Power is, after all, a minor Dao. It's easier to improve one's strength by focusing on Cultivating Qi. This so-called 'Soul Refining Art' is probably only of interest to those Alchemists. It's useless for anyone else!"

"The process of Cultivating Soul Power is very painful; it requires constant Soul Refining. Who among normal people would be willing to endure such hardship? High investment, low return, it's better not to bother."

"That's right, I certainly won't put effort into this aspect."

Thus, the auction hall was silent for a minute, with no one raising their paddle.

Jiang Heng looked at Lu Xingchen and chuckled, "Young Friend Lu, you are also an Alchemist. Aren't you interested in this 'Soul Refining Art'?"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "I already have a Martial Skill that can refine Soul Power. This 'Soul Refining Art' is too low-grade, so it's useless for me to buy it."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng was startled.

It turned out that Lu Xingchen wasn't without money, but rather looked down on it!

Judging by his tone, the scroll of Soul Power refining Martial Skill he possessed was at least earth rank low grade, which was why he didn't care for the 'Soul Refining Art'.

Damn it, the Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect are truly rich!

For a moment, a dangerous thought appeared in Jiang Heng's mind.

A minute later, someone with confidence still raised their auction paddle and loudly declared, "Fifty-five thousand!"

Hearing this, Ke Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

If no one else bid, this 'Soul Refining Art' would have gone unsold.

At that time, it would have a very negative impact on her salary and reputation.

Just as Ke Ke was about to strike the gavel, Jiang E raised her paddle.

"Sixty thousand gold coins!"

A clear voice echoed throughout the entire auction hall.

For a moment, everyone in the auction hall focused their attention on Jiang E.

"The Disciples of the Cangxuan Sect are so rich? First they acquired the 'Qinggang Sword Art', and now they're making a move on the 'Soul Refining Art'. Will the final three auction items all be taken by people from the Cangxuan Sect? That would be too embarrassing for us!"

"This young girl is still too naive. This 'Soul Refining Art' is very difficult to Cultivate. Unless one has extraordinary talent, it's a thankless task. She's probably just thinking about the benefits of stronger Soul Power."

"This is what they call a fool with too much money. Damn it, if I wasn't weaker, I'd want to rob them!"

"The foundation of the Cangxuan Sect is indeed astonishingly strong; a few Disciples can casually produce so many gold coins."

Lu Xingchen was also a bit puzzled. He looked at Jiang E and softly said, "Senior Sister Jiang E, your Soul Power has already reached Mortal Realm Great Perfection, and you must have an Earth Rank Martial Skill for Soul Refining. What use do you have for this 'Soul Refining Art'?"

Jiang E said in a deep voice, "My Cultivation has recently encountered a Bottleneck, and I'm always unable to Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm. I want to try this 'Soul Refining Art' to see if refining Soul Power in a different way can lead to some progress."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "So that's it. Then you should take it. I hope you enter the Spirit Realm soon."

Lu Xingchen was also startled.

Jiang E's Aptitude in Soul Power was not inferior to his own. She had been at Mortal Realm Great Perfection for half a year, yet she was still unable to Breakthrough.

This was enough to prove the difficulty of the chasm between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm.

If he wanted to make a Breakthrough, he needed to quickly find a higher-grade Martial Skill for Soul Power refining!

The first bidder had originally been bidding with a 'just trying it out' mentality, and upon seeing Jiang E raise the price, immediately lost his fighting spirit and did not bid again.

And so, Jiang E acquired this 'Soul Refining Art' for sixty thousand gold coins.

Ke Ke placed a small box on the auction stage and then slowly opened it.

A yellow Medicinal Pill appeared before everyone.

Lu Xingchen's expression changed, and he quickly straightened his posture.

His Soul Power was already strong, and sitting in the first row, he could vaguely sense the powerful energy contained within this Medicinal Pill.

Presumably, this was the sixth-grade elixir Jiang Heng had spoken of!

Ke Ke's delicate lips parted, and she said in a captivating tone, "Fellow Daoists, this is the last item for tonight's auction. I am certain it is also the most precious one. A sixth-grade elixir, the poji pill!"

"Please allow me some time to introduce it to everyone."

"This Poji Pill was refined by a Sixth-Grade Alchemist not belonging to the Black Wind Domain, and after several twists and turns, it flowed into our Black Flame Sect. Its effect is extremely powerful; it can greatly increase the user's upper limit of Qi and blood and the strength of their Physical Body, allowing the user to possess the ability to fight above their level."

"More importantly, it also has a special attribute: Extreme Breaking! This is also the origin of this Medicinal Pill's name. If the user suffers severe injuries during future Cultivation, the latent medicinal power of this Medicinal Pill will take effect, helping the user to quickly recover from injuries and improve their Cultivation Aptitude."

"Extreme Breaking is also known as 'Break and then Stand'!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly astonished.

The basic attributes of this sixth-grade elixir were already quite good, and it even had special attributes.

Its 'Break and then Stand' effect was simply a combination of a Soul Returning Pill and a Talent Fruit; it was too powerful!

Perhaps even a Sixth-Grade Alchemist couldn't easily refine such a precious Medicinal Pill!

He absolutely had to get his hands on this Poji Pill!

Ke Ke's clear voice echoed through the auction hall, "The sixth-grade elixir Poji Pill, starting bid is one hundred thousand gold coins, each increment must not be less than ten thousand gold coins, the auction begins!"
