29: Fourth-Order Nascent Soul Pill

Hearing what the man said, and seeing the invitation card in his hand, Ye Ming confirmed that it bore the mark of the Tianbao Pavilion. He stopped wasting words, immediately took out Spirit Stones, completed the transaction with the man, and left.

As soon as Ye Ming left, the man pulled another invitation card from his pocket. “Hehe, yesterday I was selling one for fifteen Spirit Stones, but now sales have stopped. Selling it for twenty Spirit Stones isn’t too much, right!”

After happily chuckling to himself for a while, the man went out again to find someone destined to buy an invitation card.

On the other side, the female puppet secretly transmitted a message to Ye Ming. Being at the Peak Golden Core, everything within a radius of nine thousand li was within its Divine Sense, so the man's muttering was heard clearly.

After transmitting the message, a red light flashed in the female puppet's eyes. It intended to go back and kill the man who had cheated its master out of Spirit Stones, but Ye Ming stopped it.

“Don't bother with people like that. As long as we got the invitation card, that’s enough. It was only a few extra Spirit Stones; we aren't short of them. But if this invitation card turns out to be fake, I'll make him spit back the money with interest!”

“Yes, Master!”

Ye Ming waved his hand indifferently. Only then did the female puppet dissipate the killing intent in its eyes and follow Ye Ming into the Tianbao Pavilion. The invitation card was indeed real.

Upon entering the Tianbao Pavilion, Ye Ming found that the first-floor hall had been converted into an auction stage. The surrounding counters and shelves were all replaced with seating for auction participants, and even the second floor was converted into Luxury Rooms. Anyone in the Golden Core Stage could choose a Luxury Room.

Ye Ming decisively had the Male Puppet reveal a hint of its strength, successfully securing a Luxury Room on the second floor. The view here was the best, and there were female Cultivators of the Qi Refinement Stage serving nearby.

Ye Ming ate the fruit offered by the female Cultivator while enjoying a massage from the female puppet. Time slowly passed, and the auction he was waiting for finally began.

Just then, a red light flashed on the auction stage on the first floor, and an enchanting woman wearing a short red skirt instantly appeared on the stage. As soon as she appeared, someone revealed her background.

“It's Immortal Master Red Smoke!”

“As expected, she hosts every Tianbao Pavilion auction!”

“It is said that Immortal Master Red Smoke came from Taixuan Prefecture fifty years ago!”

“Taixuan Prefecture? Isn't that known as the true Cultivation World? With such a good place, why would Immortal Master Red Smoke come here?”

“I heard the competition there was too fierce, and Immortal Master Red Smoke was forced to come here.”

...Listening to the whispers below, Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Immortal Master Red Smoke to come from Taixuan Prefecture.

This Taixuan Prefecture was the Cultivation World he often wanted to visit. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi there was five times greater than here. Not only were there many Cultivators, but there were also many Sects, and what interested him most was the local cuisine!

Unfortunately, he had to finish everything here before he could go to Taixuan Prefecture. The Seven Fiends Sect was one task. He also needed to wait until the Old Village Chief and the others were on the right track and could Cultivate on their own before he left. That day was not far off.

While Ye Ming was slightly distracted, Immortal Master Red Smoke on the auction stage below had already started the auction.

“Fellow Daoists, I hope you are all well, hehe. Perhaps some newcomers don't recognize this mistress. Allow me to introduce myself briefly. My name is Red Smoke, a Silver Rank Auctioneer for the Tianbao Pavilion!”

“Alright, I won't waste any more time. This mistress will now proceed directly to today's segment!”

As the enchanting voice echoed through the auction house, Ye Ming's attention immediately focused, and he looked toward Red Smoke on the auction stage.

He saw her take out a piece of black, ancient long attire. This ancient attire had gilded patterns around the edges, the fabric looked incredibly soft and smooth, and it reflected a slight sheen.

“Today's first auction item is the Black Gold Ancient Attire, a Second-Tier High Grade Magical Artifact. It not only cleans itself and is waterproof and fireproof, but more importantly, it has a certain degree of stealth ability at night. I won't say much more; you all understand. The starting bid is two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each subsequent bid must not be less than one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“The bidding starts now!”

After Red Smoke finished speaking, the people below began bidding. The waterproof and fireproof qualities of this black attire weren't against ordinary water and fire, but against the water and fire condensed by Foundation Establishment magic power; it could even defend against Innate True Fire.

“Two thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

“I bid two thousand five hundred!”

“Two thousand six hundred!”

“...This old man bids three thousand eight hundred!”

“This Fellow Daoist has bid three thousand eight hundred. Does anyone else wish to bid? If not, congratulations to this Fellow Daoist; the Black Gold Ancient Attire is yours!” Red Smoke brought the hammer down, and the attire was taken away.

Afterward, the second auction item began.

Red Smoke took out ten bottles and poured a black Medicinal Pill onto her hand.

If one didn't recognize it, they might mistake it for a Poison Pill.

“The second auction item: ten foundation establishment pills. Each pill will be auctioned separately. The starting bid is three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the bidding increments are flexible!”

Upon seeing the foundation establishment pills, many people's eyes immediately lit up. Although they had already achieved Foundation Establishment, their family members or juniors still needed foundation establishment pills. Acquiring one to take home would make the trip worthwhile.

“Alright, the bidding for the foundation establishment pill begins!”

“Three thousand five hundred!”

“Three thousand six hundred!”

“Heh heh, what's the point of increasing by one hundred at a time? I bid four thousand!”

“Four thousand five hundred...”

Soon, the first foundation establishment pill was bought by someone who bid five thousand nine hundred. This price was already inflated, so many people gave up on the auction, knowing there were still nine pills left, and they would have a chance eventually.

Ye Ming sat above, finding it interesting at first, but then it became boring. Everything being auctioned was something he didn't need. He could only close his eyes, enjoying the services of the female puppet and the female Cultivator, waiting for the final items of the auction to appear.

On the auction stage below, as items were sold off one by one, half a day later, the final two auction items were finally presented.

“Today's main event has arrived! I believe all Fellow Daoists have heard rumors about it!” Red Smoke curled her lips into a smile and scanned the entire auction hall.

“Fellow Daoist Red Smoke, stop hiding it! Hurry up and bring it out; everyone is impatient!”

A voice came from the second floor, sounding impatient.

Ye Ming also opened his eyes. He was very curious about these last two items and fixed his gaze on the Jade Box in Red Smoke's hand.

“In that case, this mistress won't keep you in suspense. The second to last auction item is a Fourth-Tier Medicinal Pill: the infant transformation pill!”

After speaking, Red Smoke opened the box in front of everyone at the auction.

As soon as the box was opened, a brilliant, colorful Medicinal Pill immediately flew out. Before the pill could escape, Red Smoke pinched it in her hand. A faint medicinal fragrance covered the entire auction hall.

Shock and a hint of greed filled the eyes of many people present. Was this the infant transformation pill that gave a Golden Core Cultivator a fifty percent chance of achieving a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul?

The appearance of this Medicinal Pill here meant that another Nascent Soul True Lord was about to emerge in the Mortal Realm. One must know that there were only three Nascent Souls in the entire Mortal Realm, but there were many Immortal Masters at the Peak Golden Core. Now that the infant transformation pill had reappeared after a hundred years, the entire Mortal Realm was bound to be thrown into chaos for a while.

In one of the dozens of Luxury Rooms on the second floor, a man with a feminine appearance changed color upon seeing the infant transformation pill, followed immediately by ecstasy. He immediately turned to the withered old man beside him and excitedly said:

“Grand Elder, you now have hope of achieving a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage!”
