436: The first eight-star auction

“Not just the Dao Veins, look at the Materials used for this auction house!”

Just then, an old voice resounded in the Cloud Pavilion. This voice could only be heard by the Dao Lords on the Cloud Pavilion.

Dao Lord powerhouses had their own arrogance. Even if they were in the same auction house as juniors, they would naturally exclude those beings below the Dao Lord Realm.

“To actually use Luminous Immortal Gold to build this auction house, they are truly inhumanly extravagant!”

A Dao Lord murmured.

Luminous Immortal Gold was a semi-Immortal Grade item formed from the stellar cores of stars after countless years of evolution. It could be used to refine Dao Weapons of the light, metal, and fire elements, and was even an auxiliary material in some chaotic spiritual treasures.

All the Materials of this square were cast from Luminous Immortal Gold!

Those powerful Supreme Powers had deep foundations and naturally didn't care, but Supreme Powers like the Blazing Sun Dao Sect simply couldn't produce so much Luminous Immortal Gold.

Just as everyone was discussing, a brilliant divine radiance suddenly bloomed on the auction stage, the Myriad Daos intertwined, and an aura that made everyone's Souls tremble swept through.

The entire square fell silent, and those powerful Dao Lords also opened their eyes, looking towards the auction stage.

For example, the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect Elder, the Star Dao Domain's Star Dao Sect Elder, and so on.

Before, these Elders from ancient Sects had not been attracted by the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild's foundation and had remained calm.

But at this moment, when this aura swept through, their expressions changed, because this aura made even their Souls tremble.

Although they were Middle Stage Dao Lords, they were not afraid even when facing an ordinary Late Stage Dao Lord.

Especially the Elder from the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect who came this time, he had already refined seventeen streams of Hongmeng Primordial Qi, and with the powerful combat strength of the Body Refining lineage, he could even fight an ordinary Late Stage Dao Lord to a standstill.

But at this moment, facing this aura, he couldn't even muster the will to resist.

“This Xuanhuang Merchant Guild might really be related to that person!”

“After this matter, I can suggest to the Sect Master to give the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild some help!”

The Dragon Elephant Dao Sect Elder had made a decision in his heart.

Everything was too coincidental. That person's surname was Xu, and the person in charge of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild also had the surname Xu. He was already convinced that the two came from the same Family.

Those ordinary powers only knew that that person was a Prodigy with combat strength capable of striking down an Immortal Overlord, but they didn't know that a Dao Ancestor stood behind that person.

How could a common power be associated with a Dao Ancestor? To forge a connection with such a figure would definitely not be a loss for the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect.

Thinking of this, his gaze swept towards several Cloud Pavilions around him. Those he valued were naturally on the same level as the Dragon Elephant Dao Sect. He figured those several Sects also had the same idea as him.

“Everyone!”

Just then, on the auction stage, Xu Changyun stood with his hands behind his back.

“Thank you all distinguished guests for participating in the first Eight-Star Auction of the Xuanhuang Auction House!”

“My name is Xu Changyun, and I am the Director of the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild’s Commercial Department!”

“This auction will be hosted by this old man!”

Xu Changyun smiled slightly, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears.

“The auction is about to begin!”

“I’m already impatient!”

As Xu Changyun's words fell, the entire venue vibrated.

“Alright, everyone, now let's begin with the first item of this auction!”

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Xu Changyun slowly spoke.

Crack, crack, crack!

As Xu Changyun slightly raised his hand, endless mist permeated, and a Dao platform inscribed with various runes slowly rose on the left.

And on the Dao platform, there was a wooden box, surrounded by a Dao Formation formed by runes!

Xu Changyun walked forward, ignored the Dao Formation, and opened the wooden box.

“Buzz—”

The next moment, billions of rays of light swept out from the wooden box in all directions. At the same time, a vision permeated, and the expressions of those Dao Lords changed, only feeling a shock in their hearts and a surge of Dao principles within them.

“Dao Nourishing Pill! And it's a semi-Immortal Grade Dao Nourishing Pill!”

An exclamation sounded, coming from a figure in the Cloud Pavilion, and that Cloud Pavilion belonged to the Azure Wood Dao Sect, one of the Xuanhuang Ten Great Dao Sects.

“What? It’s actually a semi-Immortal Grade Dao Nourishing Pill!”

“We must get this item!”

The Dao Nourishing Pill was a famous Medicinal Pill in the Ancient Land of Dao. It had only one purpose: to help Cultivators nourish their Great Dao and increase their chances of comprehending it.

And the Dao Nourishing Pill, according to the age and grade of its Materials, was also divided into King Grade, Supreme Grade, and Immortal Grade.

The Dao Nourishing Pill before them was semi-Immortal Grade, enough to allow a Dao Lord powerhouse to comprehend the Supreme Great Dao to the Perfection Realm in a very short time.

Moreover, the main material used for this Dao Nourishing Pill was an Immortal Grade Dao Nourishing Fruit, so its efficacy was extraordinary.

Those powerhouses stuck at the semi-Dao Lord Realm, if they obtained this Dao Nourishing Pill, would have a certain chance of comprehending a few true meanings of the Immortal Great Dao, thereby achieving a Breakthrough to the Immortal Great Dao.

In an instant, all the Dao Lords were moved, especially those semi-Dao Lords, whose eyes became fervent!

“It’s a pity. If that Dao Alchemist were a bit more skilled, it would be a Low Grade Immortal Dao Pill.”

A Dao Lord said with some regret.

However, some Dao Lords had the idea of participating. Although they couldn't use it themselves, which Dao Lord didn't have a few juniors? With this Dao Nourishing Pill, it's possible that a Dao Lord could emerge from among their juniors.

“Semi-Immortal Grade Dao Nourishing Pill, starting bid of ten million Chaos Profound Crystals, each bid increment must not be less than one million Chaos Profound Crystals!”

“The auction, now begins!”

Xu Changyun's voice echoed across the square.

Don't look at the starting bid being set so low, but everyone's enthusiasm would quickly push the price to a high level.

Indeed!

“Ten million Chaos Profound Crystals!”

“Ten million? How dare you even open your mouth? This Family head bids twenty million Chaos Profound Crystals!”

“My Liu Family bids thirty million Chaos Profound Crystals!”

“...”

“One hundred million Chaos Profound Crystals!”

In just an instant, the price directly increased tenfold, a terrifying rate of increase that left people dumbfounded.

One must know that this was only the beginning!

“This old man bids five billion Chaos Profound Crystals! I am Daoist Falling Star of the Falling Star Dao Sect in the Star Dao Domain. My grandson has been trapped by the Great Dao for many years. This old man wishes to seek an Opportunity for my grandson, so I ask all Fellow Daoists to yield this treasure to this old man. This old man will never forget your kindness!”

Within a Cloud Pavilion, an old voice was heard!

As soon as these words came out, the Cloud Platforms below were surprised, after all, the Falling Star Dao Sect was a Supreme Power.

At the same time, they only felt that this old man was disrespectful and relied on his cultivation to bully others. As for that kindness, who would dare to ask for it?

“What the hell does that have to do with me? I bid six billion Chaos Profound Crystals!”

From a Cloud Platform below, a mocking voice was heard.

“You're courting death!”

Daoist Falling Star was furious. Just as he was about to extend his Dao thought to search for the person who had just made the bid, he suddenly felt his body tremble, and his Dao Soul palpitated. His expression was horrified, and he quickly bowed towards the auction stage to apologize.

The next moment, the pressure on his body vanished, and Daoist Falling Star slumped down.

This kind of fluctuation was naturally perceived by everyone. While mocking Daoist Falling Star, they also gave themselves a warning.

“Everyone, the auction continues. This Fellow Daoist has bid six billion. Does anyone else want to bid?”

Xu Changyun interjected at the right time, pulling everyone's attention back to the item.

“This sovereign bids eight billion!”

A domineering voice came from the southeast corner!

With the previous incident, no one dared to casually use their Dao thought to probe, not to mention that with the Formation in the private room, nothing could be detected anyway.

As eight billion Chaos Profound Crystals were bid, the bidding suddenly ceased, but there were still people bidding in the arena, after all, the Materials for this Medicinal Pill were refined from Immortal Grade items!

“Eight and a half billion!”

“Nine billion!”

…Ultimately, this Dao Nourishing Pill was bought by a Supreme Power for a price of eleven point seven billion Chaos Profound Crystals.
