The entire auction hall watched in awe as the two individuals swiftly completed such a substantial transaction. Everyone couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads. These two were indeed not ordinary people; such audacity was rare among the gathered crowd. Xiao Yan’s request for three Spirit Battle Pills and two Imperial Pills made many in the auction house gulp hard, their eyes glowing with envy as they fixated on him. The level of these pills, five of them presented at once, was something many had never seen before. This gesture was bolder than spending a fortune recklessly.
On the VIP seats, many gazed at Xiao Yan and the smiling Mo Tianxing in astonishment, marveling at the latter’s vast resources. It was no wonder he could craft high-grade sixth-rank pills; he could produce so many without even batting an eye.
Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd, the deal was smoothly concluded. Xiao Yan smiled slightly as he sat back in his chair. Unlike others, he didn’t care about whether there were other treasures within the corpse of the Magic Beast. His main goal was the pair of jade-like bone wings. As long as he had those, giving away three Spirit Battle Pills and two Imperial Pills was not a loss. With them, he could craft a high-quality Heavenly Wild Goose Nine-Flight Wing, and then the world would be at his fingertips. For Xiao Yan, being able to exchange five pills for such a life-saving item was already a bargain. He understood that the Black Emperor Sect must have used various means to investigate the beast’s remains, and it was possible, as he suspected, that only dried, rotten flesh remained inside. If Xiao Yan didn’t have the recipe for the Heavenly Wild Goose Nine-Flight Wing, he wouldn’t have traded at such a price. But fortunately, that wasn’t the case. Even without close examination, Xiao Yan’s soul perception gave him a fair idea of the bone wings. Thus, while others saw this trade as highly risky, to Xiao Yan, it was a surefire win.
On the auction stage, after successfully getting three Spirit Battle Pills and two Imperial Pills from Xiao Yan, Mo Tianxing’s smile was barely concealed. With a light clap, several burly men reappeared, carefully lifting the Magic Beast corpse off the platform.
As the corpse was carried away, Mo Tianxing did not leave. He waved at the white-haired elder, who sighed in relief and bowed, stepping down. It seemed Mo Tianxing was going to personally host the upcoming auctions. Many in the VIP seats felt a surge of excitement. What else could make this old man take the stage himself, besides the much-hyped Bodhi Transformative Essence?
Under the intense gazes, Mo Tianxing slowly took out a pair of purple-gold gloves from his storage ring. With a wave of his hand, the floor split open, and several black-clad, stern-faced elders walked out, one holding a small box covered in yellow cloth.
These elders maintained a fixed distance as they walked, their sharp battle aura swirling around them, and their eagle-like gazes swept the surroundings. Any slight movement would put them on high alert. The cautious and battle-ready atmosphere made the auction hall gradually quiet, a strange tension enveloping the place.
“I assume everyone here knows what the main event of our Black Emperor Sect’s auction is. I also know that many of you are here for this specific item,” Mo Tianxing said, his smile fading as he put on the gloves.
As he spoke, the black-robed elders gently placed the box on the auction platform, forming a protective formation. To seize the item, one would need to defeat these five Battle Emperor-ranked elders and then face the genuine Battle Sect, Mo Tianxing himself. It was no wonder the Black Emperor Sect was so cautious—the Bodhi Transformative Essence was too valuable. Most of its value stemmed from the rumor that obtaining it would reveal the location of the Bodhi Heart.
A Dou Sage—two simple words that could shatter any defense. At that level, one stands at the pinnacle, with powers that can shake the heavens and earth. Even some Battle Sect-level old monsters would set aside their pride to fight for it. This was expected by both Xiao Yan and Mo Tianxing. If not for the Black Emperor Sect’s long-standing power and deep foundation, they might have been wiped out long ago.
“An ordinary person with such a heavenly treasure is destined for trouble. Fortunately, the Black Emperor Sect is not an ordinary force. Otherwise, the most tragic fate would befall them.” Mo Tianxing’s gaze lingered on the intense gazes from the VIP seats. He then tugged the yellow cloth, revealing a transparent crystal box that reflected dazzling light. Everyone ignored the glare, their eyes fixed on the box.
Inside the box, a mysterious faint light swirled, and a fist-sized, emerald-green, viscous substance floated, moving like a soft-bodied creature.
“Is this the Bodhi Transformative Essence?” Xiao Yan murmured, his eyes fixed on the floating green liquid. Beside him, Little Medicinal Immortal’s eyes were also glued to the peculiar substance, a trace of excitement in her gaze.
Xiao Yan suppressed his excitement, extending his soul perception. When it touched the crystal box, it was met with resistance and bounced back.
“Looks like the Black Emperor Sect is truly cautious,” Xiao Yan muttered, smirking.
“Gentlemen, this is the main event of our Black Emperor Sect’s auction, the reason many of you are here: the Bodhi Transformuctive Essence,” Mo Tianxing declared, his voice deep and heavy.
His words caused a commotion, and many greedy gazes zeroed in on the box, including those from the VIPs. The Black Emperor Sect’s elders tensed, and the sound of bows being drawn echoed through the shadows.
As the chaos erupted, a powerful aura surged from Mo Tianxing, and his cold gaze swept the room. The hall quickly quieted under the pressure of a Battle Sect. “Please adhere to the rules. If you’re interested, just make your bid. No need to leave your seats.”
Mo Tianxing’s gaze lingered on a few hidden spots, and with a wave of his hand, he declared, “Now, the auction for the Bodhi Transformuctive Essence begins!”
