The Breakthrough Pill is a famous elixir, and Mo Tianxing, along with Qi Shan behind him, was no stranger to it. The effects of this pill held great allure for them. The current Black Emperor Sect only had one Battle Sect expert, Mo Tianxing, which was the primary reason the sect stood firm in the Dark Corner Region. This shows the immense intimidating power of Battle Sect experts in this territory.
Over the years, the Black Emperor Sect had been striving to cultivate another Battle Sect expert to take over from Mo Tianxing. The most likely candidate for this was Mo Ya, who had shown exceptional cultivation talent from a young age. The Black Emperor Sect had poured countless magical elixirs into him, making him a Battle Emperor expert before the age of thirty. However, successfully cultivating a Battle Sect expert was not simply a matter of stacking up more elixirs. As a Battle Sect expert himself, Mo Tianxing was well aware of this. The gap between Battle Emperor and Battle Sect was significant, and breaking through was extremely difficult.
Honesty, even with Mo Ya’s cultivation talent, Mo Tianxing didn’t have high hopes for him to reach the Battle Sect level. If it were that easy, there would be far more Battle Sect experts in the Dark Corner Region. Despite not having much hope, Mo Tianxing never gave up. The sect had already invested too much in Mo Ya, and now, they could only give it their all. If Mo Ya became a Battle Sect, the sect’s strength would see a significant leap. With two Battle Sect experts and the sect’s resources, the sect’s reputation and territory would expand three to five times. The Black Emperor Sect could even become an unparalleled force in the Dark Corner Region. Of course, this was all contingent on Mo Ya successfully breaking through to the Battle Sect level, which was extremely difficult. Thus, Mo Tianxing needed to find pills that could increase the success rate, and at this moment, the “Breakthrough Pill” that Xiao Yan produced hit the soft spot in their hearts.
The excitement in Mo Tianxing’s eyes lasted for a moment before fading. He carefully caught the jade bottle that Xiao Yan threw to him and handed it to Qi Shan behind him. Qi Shan quickly inspected the pill and confirmed, “It’s indeed a Breakthrough Pill, and its quality is quite high. The medicinal properties are well-preserved.”
Hearing Qi Shan’s confirmation, Mo Tianxing’s smile grew even wider. He nodded and said to Xiao Yan, “I presume this is the same pill that Mister Yanxiao refined that day?”
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, glancing at the two, and asked with a smile, “Does the Sect Leader find this Breakthrough Pill suitable?”
“Yes, this Breakthrough Pill is indeed what we need,” Mo Tianxing nodded, but then seemed to remember something and frowned. “Since Mister Yanxiao has shown the item for exchange, please take your seat and wait a moment while I discuss with the elders. It looks like the Bodhi Body Nectar will finally have an owner in this auction.”
As he spoke, Mo Tianxing took the pill and placed it back in the jade bottle, hesitantly handing it back to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded and took the bottle, then wrapped it in a faint layer of Dou Qi, understanding the need for caution in this place. Putting the bottle away, he bowed to Mo Tianxing and left the light ring.
As he watched Xiao Yan leave, Mo Tianxing’s smile dimmed, and he seemed troubled. “Elder Qi, we have three items that interest us: the Seven-Grade ‘Return Life Pill’ from Elder Yingshan, the soul fusion method from the Flame Devil Valley, and this ‘Breakthrough Pill’ from Yanxiao. Which one do you think is more suitable for us?”
After some thought, Mo Tianxing continued, “The Return Life Pill is a Seven-Grade elixir and is indeed superior in rank. It can save a life, making it invaluable. If I have it, I’ll have an extra life, which is crucial for the sect. As for the soul fusion method from the Flame Devil Valley, it’s intriguing but has significant drawbacks. It might boost our strength temporarily but has severe aftereffects. The ‘Breakthrough Pill’ from Yanxiao, though only Six-Grade, increases the chances of breaking through to Battle Sect, but realistically, even if we give it to the Young Sect Leader, the chances of success are low. If it fails, the pill and the Bodhi Body Nectar will be wasted. But if successful, it will bring immense benefits to our sect. So, this is a gamble.”
Nodding at Qi Shan’s analysis, Mo Tianxing eventually sighed and clenched his fist. “In that case, let’s choose it!”
Seeing Mo Tianxing’s decision, Qi Shan stepped back and kept silent. As Xiao Yan left the light column, his face was hidden by his black robe, and he returned to his seat without anyone seeing his expression. After Xiao Yan, others entered the light column, but most came out disappointed. The Black Emperor Sect’s high standards surprised many.
“How did it go?” Little Healer Immortal asked, seeing people entering and leaving the light column.
Sighing, Xiao Yan replied, “It’s not as good as I hoped. I underestimated how much these people desire the Bodhi Body Nectar. Though Mo Tianxing was surprised, he still showed hesitation, indicating there were other tempting offers before I brought the Breakthrough Pill.”
Little Healer Immortal patted Xiao Yan’s hand, “Don’t worry. Even if we don’t get it, there are other ways. Many here have the same intentions.”
Xiao Yan smiled, his eyes glinting. “I must have the Bodhi Body Nectar. If auction isn’t the way, I will use other means.”
As Xiao Yan mused, the light column on the stage faded, and Mo Tianxing announced, “After careful consideration, the Black Emperor Sect has made a decision.”
The auction hall fell silent, all eyes fixed on Mo Tianxing. “After discussions with the elders, the final winner of this auction is… Elder Yingshan!”
The crowd was stunned, and some on the VIP seats sneered.
