Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 16 - The Main Attraction!

Following the appearance of the ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement, the atmosphere inside the auction venue entered the hottest period. The large faction in front also finally started to give an increasingly competitive offer which caused many people to sit there in awe.

No initial base price set for ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement. However, by the time the auction hammer fell, its price had suddenly soared to reach the price of two million. The frightening rise that made the price go up was something that Xiao Yan had not witnessed for many years since his birth.

Spending a lot of money at once. Such pride and bravery was actually displayed by these factions in front of the temptation of this Di-Class Dou Type Agility Technique.

The constantly surging price kept the atmosphere inside the auction house with a roar that did not stop even for a moment. Below the high price, which quickly doubled, many people feel that their trip here is worthwhile just by being able to personally witness this soul-shaking money competition even though many of them clearly understand that they do not have the qualifications to get items themselves.

The rapidly increasing pace was maintained for nearly half an hour by the bloody competition before gradually entering the final phase. At this moment, the price of the ‘Three Thousand Lightning’ Movement had risen to a staggering eight million two hundred and seventy thousand.

More than eight million. This enormous amount was equivalent to the total income of the Primer clan in the Jia Ma Empire for several years. Such a large amount was something that one large faction would not take carelessly without caution even within this ‘Black-Corner’ Region.

When the price reached this stage, some of the weaker factions finally began to retreat from the bidding war. After this repeated elimination with the price, the middle-aged man in the gray robe, who came from the ‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ faction, was, it finally took out a sky-high price of ten million two hundred thousand with a convulsive face ten minutes later. The entire auction venue was shaken to the point of being completely silent.

A Di Class Dou Technique with a sky-high price of over ten million!

The total silence from the auction venue continued for almost a few minutes before finally recovering gradually. One by one, people exchanged looks. They were shaken by that frightening price until their bodies trembled and their hot blood started to boil. Ten million. How long would a faction have to accumulate such a large sum?

‘Black Skeleton Tomb’ will actually bid a price that high. This clearly caused the Blood Sect, Sky Serpent Mansiom, and the other factions to be unprepared. They exchanged glances with each other before swallowing the price that had already reached their mouths with ugly faces.

The eyes of Fan Ling, the Junior Sect Leader of the Blood Sect, were dark and cold as he glanced at the middle-aged man, whose gray robe had a skull sewn on it. His fist gently shook as he slightly lowered his head. A savage smile and killing intent flashed in his eyes.

After the withdrawal of the Blood Sect, the Sky Serpent Mansion, and the other factions, there were naturally no longer people qualified to contend with the Black Skull Tomb. Hence, the scroll that contained a Grade Di Dou Agility Technique landed in the hands of the Black Skeleton Tomb Sect in front of countless gazes.

"Huuu..., this was truly a true killing, a huge sum of ten million ..." Xiao Yan could not help but shake his head as he looked at the brutal competition that was slowly beginning to subside. He bitterly laughed in his heart and said somewhat hesitantly, "Only can this Di Class Dou Technique really be measured with money?"

"Uh these words really if you want to refine a medicinal pill, you should buy medicinal ingredients, right? Otherwise, with just you alone, how much effort and time do you need to spend to gather all of the unique medicinal ingredients spread across different regions of the continent? For example, for you to refine the ‘Ground Spirit Pill’, the price of those four medicinal ingredients would not be lower than five million. You don't need the money? Moreover, a large faction like the Blood Sect had so many people under them that they had to feed. Buy people loyalty, take care of strong people, which ones don't need money? You're not the one in charge, so of course you don't know the difficulty." When Yao Lao heard these words of Xiao Yan, he immediately became dull and helpless explaining this flower in a conservatory that rarely needed to worry about money.

Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly when he heard Yao Lao's helpless voice. He raised his head and looked at the crystal platform. When he saw the face of the auctioneer that was glowing red suddenly become a grave, he could not help but be surprised. In a soft voice, he immediately said, "It looks like the item that will dominate all the other items will appear soon."

Quite a number of people also seemed to have discovered something when they saw the change in the expressions of the auctioneers. Personal conversations automatically stop. Many gazes waiting for the main attraction of the auction fair appeared without taking their eyes off.

"Finally gonna show up, huh?" A subtle redness appeared on his pale white face as a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Junior Sect Leader of the Blood Sect as he muttered to himself.

On the other hand, the Sky Serpent Mansion and the Black Skeleton Tomb had also drawn smiles on their faces. Their lazy gazes that had originally also become as sharp as an eagle.

"*Applause*."

The auctioneer on the crystal platform clapped his hands while putting on a grim expression. Following the sound of his applause, the tip of the crystal platform suddenly let out a sound of ‘ka ka’. The circular black-colored metal barrier rose slowly, finally forming a circular shape that surrounded the platform inside. Even the air above the crystal platform was tightly sealed by a metal strip that had been extended.

"Ke Ke, everyone, please don't worry too much about this. This is the little precaution we use to ensure the complete safety of the item to be auctioned." Seeing that the fence, like a prison, had been fully erected, the auctioneer smiled at the people at the auction venue and explained.

"The prison was built using cold iron. Even a strong Dou Huang would have trouble breaking it in a short period of time." When he said these words, the auctioneers eyes deliberately swept across the Blood Sect, Sky Serpent Mansion and the other factions sitting in front. The meaning of his words could be understood even without him saying it.

Xiao Yan was also slightly surprised by this overly cautious action of ‘Eight Gate’. However, he quickly recovered. In this chaotic ‘Black-Corner’ Region, there was no need to feel too shocked over the ridiculous incident that occurred.

"Ck ck, there was more hidden Qi that suddenly appeared at the auction venue. In the second story, there was even a presence that was no weaker than the existence of Hai Bodong. I think it should be the leader of the Eight Gates. Hey, looks like they're pretty worried." Yao Lao's seductive voice suddenly sounded from Xiao Yan's heart.

"Uh?" Xiao Yan's face darkened upon hearing this. The gaze under his black robe was veiled as it swept through some of the darkness around the auction venue. Using his eyes, which had once been washed by fire, he could faintly see a dark, cold black glint.

"What exactly is this main attraction? This can actually cause ‘Eight Gates’ to treat it very carefully. Even the group leaders personally came forward to handle the situation?" Xiao Yan shook his head and said, while feeling astonished in his heart.

"Ke Ke, keep watching. I don't think it should disappoint anyone." Yao Lao smiled, shook his head and replied.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He continued to observe the crystal platform. At this moment, the auctioneer carefully bent his body and took out a purple-gold plate from the container below. There was a small, cold, jade box that stood upright on a purple-gold plate.

The box is pale white. Even though the people below were separated very far from the box, they were able to clearly see the pale white-colored fog emitted from the jade box. Only the highest level cold jade had this kind of effect to keep the air cool.

"This is a medicinal pill?" When Xiao Yan saw the size of the small box and the familiar preservation method, he was initially surprised. Some surprise immediately flashed in his eyes. Just what level would this medicinal pill be able to surpass the value of a Dou Class Di Technique?

Xiao Yan slowly inhaled a breath of cold air. In his heart, Xiao Yan clearly knew that this was only possible if the medicinal pill was at least level seven!

Level seven? Until now, even Xiao Yan had never seen a medicinal pill of this level.

"This is a good thing. But why this feeling..." Yao Lao's voice had additional gravity and doubt. Level seven medicinal pill. Refining a medicinal pill of this level was truly too difficult. It should be obvious that only a tier five medicinal pill can already cause energy ripples in a small area. As for level seven ... he remembered that the kind of strange natural phenomenon that appeared when he had managed to refine that type of medicinal pill back then as if the end of the day was coming, looked extremely frightening.

In this Dou Qi Continent, alchemists who had the qualifications to refine a tier seven medicinal pill were basically few and far off existences. All of these people were Grandmasters in this era.

Following the appearance of that cold jade box, all the factions in front of the auction venue suddenly straightened their backs. Their eyes contained a greed that could not be hidden as they stared intently at the cold jade box.

The white-haired auctioneer ignored all the greedy gazes outside the metal prison. His hands trembled slightly as he placed the purple-gold plate gently on the auction platform. His wrinkled fingers carefully lifted the box cover. A golden light suddenly shot out.

The sudden appearance of golden light instantly shone on the entire auction site until it became brightly lit. Some people caught off guard involuntarily close their eyes as a reflexive act.

Xiao Yan did not close his eyes due to the golden light. His gaze pierced through the shadows of his hat and locked tightly onto the cold jade box on the crystal platform. At that place, a golden-colored medicinal pill, the size of a dragon's eyes, was quietly lying on it. The outer appearance of the medicinal pill was very round and slender. Two golden-coloured airflow threads circulated indefinitely within the inside of the medicinal pill. Sometimes, they suddenly pounced upwards. If one were to carefully look at it, the golden-coloured airflow was actually fused into two golden-coloured little god dragons intertwined with each other. The weak dragon roar passed through the volatility of the air and slowly spread out, causing the spirits of those who heard it to involuntarily tremble under the might of this dragon.

Gazing at the dragon interior of the medicinal pill agglomerated from its pill aura, Xiao Yan could not help but tremble slightly. The face beneath the Doupeng was filled with shock that was hard to hide.

The Spirit Gathering Aura Pill was a unique phenomenon that only tier seven or higher medicinal pills could possess!

The entire auction venue went silent as the dragon roar rang out, and now it started to fade.

"The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill?"

Yao Lao gently muttered something to himself in Xiao Yan's heart amidst the silence. However, Xiao Yan seemed to have heard an extremely dark solemnity and fury in the murmur regardless of how he heard it.
