Han Feng sneered in his heart.
A mere junior—he wasn’t qualified to compete with him for the Deep Sea Blue Heart.
As the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region, his status was second only to a Dou Zong expert, and he even knew some Dou Zong friends.
His funds were certainly not something Xiao Yan could compare to.
“Brat, use whatever tricks you have; otherwise, you won’t have the chance.”
Han Feng shrugged and continued to raise the price: “Ten million gold coins!”
This price was already very expensive.
Even the Mittel auction house would need several years to gather ten million gold coins.
However, for these experts of the Black-Corner Region, it was just a regular occurrence.
Xiao Yan thought to himself, “Teacher, what should we do?”
“Sigh, we are not a match for Han Feng.
I still have a few Rank 7 pills on me.
If they are exposed, they might bring a disaster upon you.”
Yao Chen sighed.
He knew very well that if he brought out Rank 7 pills, he would definitely become the target of everyone present.
Those were Rank 7 pills that even Dou Zong experts wouldn’t be able to bear eating; each one was worth more than several million.
Xiao Yan’s mind was made up.
He absolutely could not let the Deep Sea Blue Heart go to Medicine Emperor Han Feng; otherwise, taking revenge for his teacher in the future would be even more difficult.
Yao Lao was also moved by Xiao Yan’s determination.
In that case, let’s fight!
As long as he could restore his soul power, he would have a certain amount of strength to deal with any incoming enemies.
“Add three Rank 7 medicinal pills!”
“What!” Upon hearing this, even Han Feng couldn’t help but stand up.
“You actually possess Rank 7 pills?
How is that possible!”
Not only Han Feng, but other alchemists also cast grave glances.
Rank 7 pills—only a Rank 7 alchemist could refine them, and the price was extremely high.
The medicinal ingredients within were also among the best.
A Rank 6 alchemist could call a Dou Zong a brother, but a Rank 7 could swear a blood oath with a Dou Zun!
Niu Meng performed the calculations.
Finally, the conclusion was reached: these three Rank 7 pills were worth thirteen million gold coins.
The reason they were so expensive was that two of them contained high-level Monster Cores and were pills that could increase combat power.
If it weren’t for a trade, these few Rank 7 pills would be enough to make Dou Huang experts go crazy.
The previous auction of the Green Lotus Core Flame was only twenty-some million.
Could it be that this Deep Sea Blue Heart would also be auctioned for twenty-some million?
Currently, the total price offered by Xiao Yan had reached a staggering eighteen million gold coins.
Han Feng’s mouth twitched, “Brat, how could you possibly produce Rank 7 pills?
Just who is your teacher?”
“I said, that has nothing to do with you, Medicine Emperor.”
Han Feng thought with a grave expression, wondering if he should continue bidding to secure this Deep Sea Blue Heart.
After a long silence, Han Feng asked, “Miss Ling Long, are there any more items?”
Ling Long replied in a low voice, “There is one final item.”
Hearing there was one item left, Han Feng looked at the gold coins he brought and the Dou Huang experts eyeing him hungrily.
They were probably also waiting for the final item.
“Brat, you’re tough.” Han Feng snorted.
This Deep Sea Blue Heart was only about the size of a palm.
Although it was sought-after but hard to find, it was only worth around ten million gold coins.
There was no need to spend twenty million gold coins to win it.
Seeing that the other party was no longer bidding, Xiao Yan’s hanging heart finally settled.
He felt as if he were exhausted, collapsing directly into his chair.
If not for the protection of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, he would have been torn to pieces by Han Feng long ago.
Ling Long struck the auction hammer, indicating that the Deep Sea Blue Heart officially became Xiao Yan’s property.
The final item next was very special, so there would be a break for half an hour before the auction continued.
Furthermore, Niu Meng and Ling Long also began to watch the surroundings warily.
If these Dou Huangs wanted to try stealing, there would be no need to let them live.
Killing a Dou Huang didn’t feel like much of anything.
And on the third floor, Frost also let out a cold smile.
For now, she had no intention of exposing herself to others’ vision.
There was no need to reveal the foundation of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion so early.
Waiting was a torment, but Li Xiao had quite the business mind.
To ease their boredom, he specially arranged for his subordinates to bring out chilled watermelons to sell to them.
Outside, a watermelon was only worth a few copper coins, but here, it was dozens of gold coins.
However, these experts didn’t care.
They had already spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins; dozens more didn’t matter.
Furthermore, the watermelons personally planted by the Heaven Ascension Pavilion actually contained a strange energy.
This bite of watermelon was worth it!
Time flew by, and half an hour soon passed.
Li Xiao, lying on the third floor, slowly stood up.
He took out a red demon mask from his chest.
The mask was lifelike, ferocious and terrifying.
He then fastened the mask to his face.
This mask could not only hide his aura but also prevent others from probing.
Even if a Dou Di came, they wouldn’t be able to see any cultivation.
The lights in the first-floor hall suddenly dimmed.
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, a beam of white light reflected onto the crystal stage.
Li Xiao, wearing the mask, suddenly appeared before everyone.
“Who is that?”
“I haven’t seen him before.
Is he a new auctioneer for the Heaven Ascension Pavilion?”
The surrounding doubts rose and fell, all guessing Li Xiao’s identity.
Some even thought the Heaven Ascension Pavilion had found a shill.
Li Xiao flicked his long robe and clasped his hands toward the crowd, “Everyone, please remain calm.
I am the Master of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, Li Xiao.
It is a pleasure to auction for you all.”
“What!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was beyond shocked.
They had never seen the Master of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion and remained skeptical of his identity.
Some even thought the Heaven Ascension Pavilion came from the Central Plains.
Several spiritual powers gathered together, all probing Master Li Xiao’s origin and strength.
However, without exception, they were all repelled by the spiritual power, spitting out blood and suffering damage to their foundation.
“How is that possible… just what is his strength…”
Yuan Yi, Sect Leader of the Eight Gates, stared with wide eyes.
He had suffered a backlash, and his Dou Qi was in disarray; he even felt a sensation of exploding.
“How terrifying.
I have never felt such an expert.
Could it be his strength is above Dou Zong!”
Medicine Emperor Han Feng narrowed his eyes.
He similarly hadn’t felt Li Xiao’s aura but was instead deterred by the power generated by this aura.
If he hadn’t reacted in time, he probably would have been like these people, spitting out blood with disarrayed aura, or even having his life in danger.
