Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 332
Chapter 332 Follow-Up Caused by a Pill (2)
After the Azure Water Island Elder took one of the Beauty Preserving Pills, he immediately felt that the spirit platform was clear and bright. A kind of enlightenment surged into his heart, and the deadline had actually been pushed back for ten years.
What is the concept of a ten-year extension of the deadline? This was equivalent to an extra ten years of lifespan for no reason at all.
For Warlocks, ten years of longevity could change too many things.
For example, if one’s cultivation level increased by one realm within ten years, then one’s lifespan would be greatly increased.
Such a treasure elder didn’t dare to be greedy alone. He directly used the Three Odd Medicine Monsters to buy the remaining Beauty Pills at a price he didn’t dare to think of.
The three strange medicine monsters who didn’t know the truth thought that this elder was muddled. They accepted the elemental spirit stones that the elder had paid him and happily left Azure Water Island.
The elder who purchased the pill told Azure Water Island’s Island Master Yan Xiaofeng about the pill.
Yan Xiaofeng was well aware of the elder’s previous deadline. In order to confirm the accuracy of the elder’s words, he sent someone to invite Shao Zhengyi, the successor of Plum Blossom Dock.
However, anyone who has studied Yi Xue will definitely not be unfamiliar with Plum Blossom Yi Shu.
Shao Zhengyi was the direct descendant of Plum Blossom Changes, and there was absolutely no mistake in his calculation of the deadline.
At Yan Xiaofeng’s request, Shao Zhengyi quickly calculated the deadline of the auction house elder. This calculation had indeed delayed the deadline by ten years.
After confirming this result, Yan Xiaofeng was extremely excited.
Originally, he wanted the elder who purchased the Beauty Pill to invite the three odd medicinal monsters to Azure Water Island, hoping that he could supply the Beauty Pill steadily.
But later, Yan Xiaofeng and the elder discussed it together. In the end, the two of them were sure that the three strange alchemy monsters definitely didn’t know the effects of this medicine. Otherwise, as a Warlock, he wouldn’t have failed to understand just how precious this pill was. It was impossible for him to be sent away with a mere two thousand Yuan Force spirit stones.
How could a person who did not know the effects of this pill be the person who refined this pill?
Therefore, Yan Xiaofeng guessed that this Yan Zhuyan Pill was most likely a spiritual medicine passed down from the ancestors of the three odd medicine monsters. However, it had been passed down for too long, and a lot of information had been lost, so that the three odd medicine monsters did not know what kind of medicinal effect this medicine had.
With this thought in mind, Yan Xiaofeng was no longer in a hurry to find the Three Strange Medicinal Monsters.
He planned to auction this pill first to see how much it was worth, and then find a way to find the pill formula through the three odd medicinal monsters, then refine it himself and sell it.
If the predictions were correct, once this plan succeeded, this small pill would probably bring Canglan Island an unimaginable source of income.
Azure Water Island had wasted quite a bit of effort in order to sell this one and only Beauty Preserving Pill.
They cancelled the other items that had already been set for the quarterly Heaven Auction, and only auctioned this Beauty Preserving Pill.
In the three hundred years of history of Azure Water Island, the same thing only happened three times. Those three auctions were all rare treasures worth several spirit artifacts.
In the Warlock Realm, vulgar property was simply not put in the eyes of Warlocks. Normally, other than elemental energy spirit stones, the real currency in circulation was magical artifacts and spirit artifacts.
And a spirit artifact, even the most inferior auxiliary spirit artifact, was worth at least a hundred thousand Yuan Force spirit stones.
Therefore, this time, the Azure Water Island Heavenly Auction only sold one item, immediately attracting the attention of the various Warlock Realm clans and large sects.
Even those who weren’t prepared to go to the Heaven Auction House started to think of ways to get invitation cards to see what kind of treasure Azure Water Island was going to auction this time.
Just as Jiang Feng was healing Liu Xianyun’s spirit body, the Azure Water Island Heavenly Auction held today also entered its most intense moment.
Most of the clans, sects, or rogue cultivators who came to participate in the auction had been eliminated after rounds of bidding.
The final battle fell on the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley and the two forces of the Origin Celestial Sect.
The Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley would never let go of a pill that could delay one’s ten-year lifespan. They were well-known pill sales tycoons in the Warlock World. The pills they refined were for healing, increasing their elemental energy, and helping them comprehend. However, there was nothing that could increase a Warlock’s lifespan.
One had to know that Warlocks were people who understood the laws of heaven and earth. They knew how to maximize their lifespan. If they didn’t die accidentally, their bodies would have been exhausted. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe their lifespan as “incomparable to ascending to the heavens” if they wanted to renew their lifespan.
However, now that Azure Water Island had used its hundred-year reputation to guarantee that the medicinal pills auctioned would be able to extend Warlocks’ lifespan by ten years.
If such a medicine could be mass produced, then the influence of the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley in the Warlock World from now on would probably be suppressed by Azure Water Island.
Therefore, they had to take down this pill, study its ingredients carefully, and confirm whether it could really extend a Warlock’s lifespan by ten years.
As for the Vice Sect Master of the Origin Immortal Sect, he didn’t have as many curved intestines as the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley. There was only one reason why he had to obtain this medicinal pill. That was because the Old Sect Master was about to break through to the Origin Spirit Soaring Realm, but the deadline was almost up.
If he had this pill that could extend his lifespan by ten years, then the old sect master would have another ten years to break through to the Primordial Spirit Soaring Realm. Once he broke through, he would live for another hundred years. This way, the Origin Celestial Sect would have the chance to dominate the Warlock Realm for another hundred years.
“Twenty spirit artifacts, and five of them are high-grade Profound Rank defensive spirit artifacts!”
Whoosh …
Even though everyone sitting in the auction hall came from large sects and clans, they still couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.
The Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley’s front foot only called out the price of fifteen spirit artifacts. The Origin Celestial Sect called out twenty spirit artifacts without any hesitation. This kind of courage was indeed something only the Origin Celestial Sect could display.
Moreover, the Guiyuan Immortal Sect’s unhesitating method of increasing the price showed that they were determined to obtain it.
As expected, after Hua Yanghui, the vice sect master who came to participate in the auction, revealed his price, he immediately stood up and cupped his fists towards Xing Wanli of the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley, saying, “Valley Master Xing, this pill is of great use to our Origin Immortal Sect.” I know that your Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley is rich, but please give me a thin noodle to return to the Origin Immortal Sect and let me do it this time. Great kindness and virtue must be remembered in our hearts. ”
Xing Wanli looked at Hua Yanghui licking his lips slightly. In fact, he was quite nervous. After all, it was fifteen spirit artifacts. No matter how wealthy his Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley was, he couldn’t help but consume them like this.
Moreover, Hua Yanghui had already spoken in such a low tone. If he continued to bite down, he was afraid that he would become enemies with the Origin Celestial Sect in the future.
In the entire Warlock Realm, I believe no one would be willing to form enemies with such a gigantic creature as the Origin Celestial Sect. ”
After thinking for a while, Xing Wanli finally started to retreat.
While he was hesitating, the Azure Water Island Grand Elder, who was the auctioneer on the auction stage, was so excited that his mouth was dry and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Canglan Island had evolved from a small elemental spirit stone mine to one of the most famous auction sites in the Warlock World. It had been more than three hundred years.
In these three hundred years, Canglan Island had never had a single item auctioned for twenty spirit artifacts. Moreover, it seemed that as long as Xing Wanli was still on the shelves, Hua Yanghui would definitely increase the price as well.
Thinking of this, the First Elder’s heart ached and he started to panic.
“Twenty spirit artifacts for the first time.”
The Great Elder cried out slowly. The last three words were purposely used in a long drag. This will slow the pace of hammer knocking and stimulate bidders to bid again.
However, after careful consideration, Xing Wanli chose to give up.
He also stood up and said to Hua Yanghui, “Vice Sect Leader Hua, since you said so, then the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley will withdraw from the bidding. However, I have one request. I only hope that Vice Sect Leader Hua can buy the pills back and tell me the effects of the pills next time. May I know?”
“Absolutely no problem.” Hua Yanghui said excitedly.
“Then Vice Sect Master Hua, please.” Xing Wanli pointed at the auction platform and sat back down.
Hua Yanghui hugged Xing Wanli with a grateful expression before turning to look at the Great Elder on the auction stage confidently.
When the Great Elder heard that Xing Wanli had withdrawn from the bidding, he immediately shouted in his heart, “What a pity.”
However, for the Great Elder, or for the entire Azure Water Island, the twenty spirit artifacts had far exceeded their expectations.
“Twenty spirit artifacts for the second time.”
“Twenty spirit artifacts for the third time! Congratulations Vice Sect Leader Hua, this Heavenly Auction has come to a successful conclusion!”
Hua Yanghui heaved a sigh of relief as the hammer in the Great Elder’s hand landed on the table for the third time.
No matter how wealthy the Guiyuan Immortal Sect was, twenty spirit artifacts were enough for them to hurt their bones and muscles. If it weren’t for the fact that the effects of the Beauty Preserving Pill were too heaven defying, Hua Yanghui wouldn’t have paid such a high price even if he had been beaten to death.
After the auction ended, Hua Yanghui, who had obtained the Beauty Preserving Pill, followed the Great Elder to the backstage to deliver the spirit artifact, and then took the Beauty Preserving Pill away.
As for the Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley, as soon as Xing Wanli walked out of the auction house, Mei Jianshi, the personal guard accompanying him, immediately asked him in a low voice, “Vice Valley Master, Valley Master and the others said that they would take this pill at all costs. Now, take the initiative to make way. Will Valley Master and the others blame us when we return?”
“It’s fine. We only bought this pill to see if its medicinal properties can really delay Warlocks’ lifespan by ten years. If this matter is confirmed to be true, then even if the entire Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley is used, Yan Xiaofeng must tell us the origin of the pill.”
“Will he say it? I’m afraid that old brat wants to keep this secret and make a fortune by himself.” Mei Jianshi said.
“Then it’s up to him. My Golden Core Sacred Medicine Valley truly wants something. Who in the world dares not give it to me? If Yan Xiaofeng doesn’t know what to do, then his hundred-year foundation of Azure Water Island will end.”
