Chapter 2030 1484: Creation
There weren't actually many cultivators participating in the bidding, and even those few Heavenly Immortal Cultivators of humble origin didn't make an offer, for they understood well—they could not afford such a precious spiritual object!
"Three Nine Profound Heavenly Yang Spirit Fruits, plus one Spirit Seed."
The auction hall hadn't remained silent for long before a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator joined the bidding.
As for treasures as rare as Chaos Spirit Jade, their value could no longer be measured by Spirit Stones; thus, the usual method was the most primordial one—barter!
As for whether the value of the two spiritual objects matched, or how much the difference was, it all depended on individual judgment—or on one's urgency of need.
The Li family's willingness to put up Chaos Spirit Jade for trade was clearly a ploy to seek maximum profit, and that Heavenly Immortal was well aware of this, which was why, on top of the Nine Profound Heavenly Yang Fruit Spirit Seed, he added three additional Spirit Fruits.
"A pill recipe for the Purple Extreme Primordial Essence Pill, plus one Spirit Seed each of the two main herbs—Purple Extreme Treasure Mushroom and Three Lights Primordial Ginseng!" Another Heavenly Immortal entered the competition.
His bid immediately drove up the value of the Chaos Spirit Jade.
Everyone knew well that cultivation techniques and pill recipes were worth half a rank more than spiritual objects of the same tier; coupled with the two different Spirit Seeds he offered, the previous bid was completely suppressed.
Moreover, the Purple Extreme Primordial Essence Pill was a first-rate Healing Pill—no matter how severe the injuries, they could be suppressed in a short time and a large amount of mana restored!
Most crucially, when the effects wore off, the injuries would not be aggravated further.
"A recipe for the Creation Heavenly Pill!"
At that moment, a third Heavenly Immortal joined the competition.
"Madness!?"
"What is the Immortal Xia Sect thinking? To actually put up such a thing!"
His words were simple, yet those cultivators who recognized the recipe were utterly shocked, and the auction hall instantly became restless.
Even Li Debo, who had sat calm and reserved without the slightest reaction all this time, could no longer help but straighten his back, a blazing light flickering in his eyes.
The Creation Heavenly Pill was so named because it was currently the only Pill in the Primal Spirit Realm that could increase the probability of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal Rank!
And its effect surpassed even those rare spiritual objects helpful for a Heavenly Immortal breakthrough, by as much as twenty percent!
So, although he only offered a single recipe, its value far exceeded that of the other two competitors.
Most importantly, for any Heavenly Immortal Power, the Creation Heavenly Pill was the most coveted recipe!
So even if the others offered rarer spiritual objects, there was still a chance the Li family would choose the Creation Heavenly Pill recipe—unless, of course, they put forth something of equal value.
"Third Elder, should we intervene..." In the Cave Abyss Sect's private box, an Earth Immortal couldn't restrain himself and spoke out.
Everyone knew that if the Li family acquired the recipe, combined with Li Zhirui—the Great Alchemy Master of the Heavenly Immortal Rank in their midst—the number of Li family members breaking through to Heavenly Immortal would increase dramatically!
And as the Heavenly Immortal Power closest to the Li family, the Cave Abyss Sect would be hit hardest!
"With what means would you intervene? This is Mount Wanxian, not Mount Cave Abyss!" Before he could finish, the Third Elder snapped sternly, his face utterly grim as he stared at the stage below.
He too wished he could intervene, but was utterly powerless to do so.
Moreover, the auctioneer onstage had already received Li Debo's voice transmission, urging him to make the final call swiftly and settle the matter as quickly as possible.
"Is there no higher offer?"
After waiting for three breaths, the gavel came down with a resounding thud, determining the fate of the Chaos Spirit Jade.
In the private box of the Immortal Xia Sect, the Heavenly Immortal within, seeing the matter settled, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Outsiders could not understand why the Immortal Xia Sect was willing to pay such a huge price just for this piece of Chaos Spirit Jade, not even the younger generation who accompanied him understood.
He did not explain further—some things simply could not be spoken aloud here.
Yet the joy and excitement bubbling within him were plain to see.
...
Soon after, the auctioneer presented the second spiritual object; on the jade plate were arrayed three small jade bottles.
Though ordinary in appearance, these jade bottles were in fact extremely precious Sealing Spirit Bottles; only the most valuable Pills could qualify for such storage.
Once more, everyone thought of the Li family's Heavenly Immortal Alchemist, and anticipation filled their eyes.
"In each of these three Sealing Spirit Bottles rests an Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill."
What kind of Pill was this? Why had none of them ever heard of it? A hint of confusion appeared on many faces.
"This Pill was uniquely created by our clan's Patriarch, Li Zhirui. As its name suggests, it wards off evil and protects the spiritual soul! If taken during the Heart Demon Tribulation, it can weaken the power of Outer Heaven Demons and strengthen one's own spiritual soul's resistance."
The auctioneer made no secret of it and immediately disclosed its deficiency as well: "Even those breaking through to Heavenly Immortal can benefit somewhat, but ultimately, it's an Earth Immortal Rank Pill, so the effect is not particularly remarkable."
"No wonder there have been rumors that the Li family's newly ascended Heavenly Immortals were able to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation with ease—so it was with the aid of such a spirit pill!"
Many cultivators felt temptation stirring in their hearts—even among the Heavenly Immortal Powers, many were eager, their expressions showing a determination to obtain it. After all, who among them did not have several cultivators at the Peak of Earth Immortal?
"One Nine Profound Heavenly Yang Fruit Spirit Seed!"
"One Purple Extreme Treasure Mushroom Spirit Seed!"
Yet again, it was the same two Heavenly Immortal Powers as before.
What's more, they controlled themselves well—their offers were just slightly higher than the value of the Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill, still leaving room for a Precious Pill as the final bid.
