199: Chapter 198 Auction Turmoil! A Sky-High Price of Two Trillion, the Entire Audience Goes Wild!

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these seven days, the Tianlan Ghost Market completely exploded.

The news of the [Nine-Turn Golden Pellet]'s emergence spread through dozens of surrounding Immortal Provinces like a plague with wings, moving at an incredible speed!

Nine-colored divine light, nine dragons protecting the pellet!

That was a supreme divine object that could allow a Peak Heavenly Immortal to ignore any Bottleneck and achieve a 100% chance of Breakthrough to Golden Immortal!

What kind of concept was this?

This was reaching the heavens in a single step!

This was a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate!

In an instant, the entire ghost market became overcrowded.

Countless Peak Heavenly Immortal old monsters, who usually spent their time in secluded cultivation acting as Old Ancestors in their respective Immortal Provinces, arrived at this City of Sin with bloodshot eyes, tearing through the Void Realm to travel hundreds of millions of miles!

Even those great experts who had long since stepped into the Golden Immortal realm and were usually elusive either quietly sent their Personal Disciples or simply descended in person!

They might not need it themselves.

But their descendants and disciples could use it!

One Nine-Turn Golden Pellet was equivalent to forcefully creating a Golden Immortal for one's Family!

This was a strategic-level supreme treasure capable of changing the landscape of a top-tier power!

The atmosphere of the entire ghost market was suppressed to the extreme.

Even the most arrogant demonic cultivators didn't dare to kill people in the streets anymore.

Because you simply didn't know if that Human Immortal you killed with a casual strike...

Had a Peak Golden Immortal old monster standing behind him!

As for Lin Feng, he seemed to have evaporated from the world during these seven days.

He didn't go anywhere.

He stayed in the top-floor secret room arranged for him by Wanbao Tower.

In seclusion.

He was waiting.

Waiting for that storm caused by him!

...

On the seventh day, at the hour of the Rat.

The Wanbao Tower auction officially began!

This auction was not held in the main hall.

Instead, the most core 'Void Auction House' of Wanbao Tower was opened.

This was an independent space opened up by a Golden Immortal expert.

It was large enough to accommodate a hundred thousand people without feeling crowded at all.

Lin Feng, holding that Purple-Gold VIP Token, was led through without any obstacles by a maid whose attitude was so respectful it bordered on humble.

He passed through countless powerful Restrictions and those ordinary seats from which envious, jealous, and greedy gazes were cast.

Ultimately, he was brought to the legendary 'Bing' grade private box area.

"Senior, we have arrived at Bing-3."

The maid didn't even dare to look up at him. "Please, enter."

Lin Feng pushed the door and entered.

Luxurious.

The entire box was crafted from an unknown immortal jade, possessing innate effects like gathering Qi, calming the mind, and blocking detection.

In front of him was a massive, one-way transparent crystal through which the scene on the auction stage could be seen clearly.

"Interesting."

Lin Feng smiled.

He didn't want this box because of how comfortable it was.

But because he knew that next door to this box...

Bing-2.

Was the true controller of the ghost market, whom even Wan Sanqian was wary of—

[Nether Palace]!

Lin Feng slowly sat down.

His Divine Thought, like invisible tentacles, did not probe the next room.

Instead, he took in the entire auction venue at a glance.

"Peak Heavenly Immortals... three hundred and sixteen."

"Golden Immortals... at least twenty."

Lin Feng clicked his tongue.

"If I slaughtered them all, how many critical hit points would I get?"

Right at that moment.

Clang!

A crisp chime of a bell resounded throughout the venue.

The auction had begun.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoists, to the Wanbao Tower's centennial grand event!"

On the auction stage, a female auctioneer wearing a fiery red dress, with an extremely seductive appearance and a cultivation level that was surprisingly at the ninth level of Heavenly Immortal, slowly rose up.

Her voice was full of allure, enough to make the Dao Heart of any Earth Immortal falter.

"I am Hongxiu. I won't waste words with nonsense."

"Presumably, everyone has come for that divine object."

"However, before that, our Wanbao Tower has prepared over a hundred rare treasures that are seldom seen!"

"The first item!"

"Ancient Demonic Dragon Essence Blood! Starting price, one hundred million Immortal Crystals!"

...

The auction proceeded in an orderly fashion.

One by one, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, and Cultivation Techniques that could cause a bloodbath in the outside world...

Were brought up as if they cost nothing.

The atmosphere gradually heated up.

"Five hundred million! My Black Wind Fortress wants that damaged 'Golden Immortal Puppet'!"

"Six hundred million! A mere mountain bandit dares to compete with this old man?"

"One billion! One billion! Whoever dares to compete with me for this Blood Scripture Incomplete Manual is an enemy of my Blood Demon Sect!"

Lin Feng did not bid throughout the entire process.

He watched coldly from the sidelines.

He was waiting.

Finally!

After the auction had lasted for a full six hours!

When the final 'Heavenly Immortal Magic Treasure' was auctioned off to a private box for the sky-high price of three billion.

An unprecedented flush appeared on the auctioneer Hongxiu's face!

She took a deep breath and shouted in a trembling, almost operatic voice:

"Everyone! I know what you are waiting for!"

"Next!"

"Is the ultimate treasure of this auction, a rarity not seen in ten thousand years!"

Boom!

The auction stage slowly split open.

Wan Sanqian, that fat old man at the Peak of the Golden Immortal realm, actually personally walked up carrying that crude wooden box Lin Feng had given him!

"Everyone!"

Wan Sanqian's voice was like a booming bell!

"This item needs no further words from me!"

He suddenly opened the wooden box!

Buzz!!!!!

The nine-colored divine light soared into the sky once again!

Nine divine dragon phantoms circled and roared above the auction house!

That pill fragrance, capable of driving even Heavenly Immortals mad, instantly filled the entire Void Auction House!

"Nine-Turn Golden Pellet!"

"It really is the Nine-Turn Golden Pellet!"

Heavens! To think I would be able to see such a divine object with my own eyes in this lifetime!"

The whole venue boiled over!

The Golden Immortals hidden in the private boxes also found their breathing becoming ragged!

"[Nine-Turn Golden Pellet]!"

Wan Sanqian held the wooden box high, as if holding a sacred decree!

"Starting price!"

"Ten billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Each bid increment must not be less than... one billion!"

"Now, begin!"

"Fifty billion!"

Before Wan Sanqian's voice had even faded!

A box in the 'Jia' grade area directly called out a number that made everyone suffocate!

"It's... it's Mad Blade Immortal Lord! He's been stuck at the Peak of Heavenly Immortal for three thousand years!"

"Eighty billion!"

Another box showed no sign of weakness!

"One hundred billion!"

"One hundred and fifty billion!"

Within just ten breaths, the price soared to a terrifying figure that even Heavenly Immortals could only look up to!

This had already become the exclusive battlefield of Golden Immortal experts!

"Five hundred billion!"

Right then, the Yi-1 box, the Demonic Path box that Lin Feng had noticed seven days ago, finally spoke.

The voice was cold and left no room for doubt.

"It's the people from the Blood Demon Sect!"

"Heavens! They've come to compete too!"

"Five hundred and ten billion!"

Another Golden Immortal was still struggling.

"One trillion."

The Blood Demon Sect bid again.

That tone was flat, as if they weren't bidding one trillion.

But as if they were saying, one dollar.

The whole venue fell into a dead silence.

One trillion...

This had already exceeded the value of a single pill.

This was a battle of pride!

"One trillion, going once!"

Hongxiu's voice was trembling.

"One trillion, going twice!"

Just when Wan Sanqian thought the deal was about to be sealed.

A raspy, mechanical voice that seemed to carry no emotion at all.

Came from next door to Lin Feng...

From the Bing-2 box, the Nether Palace.

"One trillion and ten billion."

The entire venue sucked in a cold breath!

Nether Palace!

The controller of the ghost market had actually made a move?!

The Yi-1 box fell into a long silence.

They were weighing their options.

Should they go head-to-head with the master of the ghost market while inside the ghost market?

Or...

Just when everyone thought the Blood Demon Sect was going to give up.

"Two trillion."

That cold voice rang out once more.

But this time, the voice carried a hint of undisguised...

Killing intent!

"Madness!"

"The Blood Demon Sect has gone mad!"

"Two trillion! To buy a single pill?!"

This time.

The Bing-2 box, Nether Palace, also fell silent.

"Two trillion, going once!"

"Two trillion, going twice!"

"Two trillion..."

Wan Sanqian slammed the golden hammer down!

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to the esteemed guest in box Yi-1 for winning this supreme divine object!!"
