CHAPTER 135: Heavenly Dust Elixir
One precious treasure after another was presented, and the atmosphere of the auction rose higher and higher. Two hours had unknowingly passed, and the final highlight was about to be revealed.
After the two attendants retreated, a graceful figure dressed in palace garb, with hair styled in cloud-like buns and round earlobes adorned with two glistening jade pendants, slowly emerged from the darkness.
This female cultivator glided to the side of Chi Yunxing, where she held a jade plate in her pristine white hands, upon which sat a small, exquisitely crafted porcelain bottle.
"Foundation establishment early stage!"
A flash of white light briefly flickered in Liu Yu's eyes as he secretly activated the "Heavenly Eye Technique," discovering that this female cultivator was also at the foundation establishment early stage. He wondered what kind of item was so valuable that a foundation establishment cultivator personally presented it.
Not just Liu Yu, but many cultivators present widened their eyes, discussing among themselves, speculating about the precious elixir.
“Next is the final highlight of this auction, the most valuable and precious item—Heavenly Dust Elixir.”
“The Heavenly Dust Elixir is a spiritual elixir that assists foundation establishment cultivators in achieving the golden core. It is well-known that upon forming the golden core, cultivators face the trial of heart demons, and taking this elixir can effectively fend off the heart demon trial.”
“Taking the Heavenly Dust Elixir during the breakthrough to golden core can increase the success rate by a full ten percent, greatly enhancing the chance of breaking through. Fellow daoists, you may very well become the next golden core master.”
“The Heavenly Dust Elixir is something one can encounter but cannot seek; the auction house has fortunately acquired one. After this, we cannot guarantee that more will be available, so friends who aspire to golden core must not miss this opportunity!”
“The starting bid is eight thousand spiritual stones, and each bid must increase by no less than one hundred spiritual stones.”
Chi Yunxing picked up the porcelain bottle from the jade plate and showcased it to the cultivators around the platform, speaking in an excited and loud tone.
Some cultivators suddenly sprang up from their seats, clearly shocked by the appearance of the Heavenly Dust Elixir, while others maintained their composure, seemingly already aware of the news.
“Ten thousand spiritual stones!”
Just as Chi Yunxing finished speaking, a low male voice resonated from an upper box, increasing the bid by two thousand spiritual stones directly.
Liu Yu was also quite tempted by the Heavenly Dust Elixir, but after a moment's thought, he suppressed the urge.
He had just recently established his foundation, was under thirty years old, and had an entire one hundred seventy years to prepare, so there was no need to rush.
To compete for the Heavenly Dust Elixir, one would need at least five or six rare spiritual herbs that were five hundred years old; the risk was too great.
“Thirteen thousand!” “Thirteen thousand five hundred!”
As the price of the Heavenly Dust Elixir climbed higher, many cultivators found that even with some spiritual objects as collateral, it still wasn't enough and had to give up bidding.
In the end, only three remained in the final contention: two from the box and one from the hall.
The cultivator in the hall participating in the competition appeared somewhat fierce, with slightly yellow skin and a tall stature, dressed in a purple-black robe. A deep scar ran from the corner of his eye down to his jaw, and his cultivation breath distinctly indicated he had reached the pinnacle of late-stage foundation establishment.
“Yan Wukui?” “Yan Kuang!”
Some cultivators recognized this person's identity, their eyes flashing with caution as they whispered among themselves.
Liu Yu perked up his ears, listening closely.
It turned out that Yan Wukui was a very famous loose cultivator, proficient in wind attribute cultivation techniques, and was renowned even within the entire Chu State cultivation world.
