Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Mysterious Token

”Five Yellow Rank sixth-grade Elixirs, three Yellow Rank seventh-grade Qi Recovery Pills, one Yellow Rank eighth-grade Body Tempering Pill, plus twenty Superior grade Spirit Stones!!”

Mu Sen of the Elixir Sect declared coldly, his eyes sharp as he stared at the fragment.

”Five millennium-old Spiritual Medicines, forty Superior grade Spirit Stones!”

Bing Xin of Ruthless Valley likewise spoke up, her crisp and cold voice resonating throughout the entire auction.

”Wow, this is really intense. They’re all going all out just for a fragment!”

Ye Luo looked at the crowd, which showed no signs of relenting. Everyone was eagerly offering large quantities of Spirit Stones, Spiritual Medicines, and Elixirs to bid, which genuinely surprised him.

Initially, he had wanted to partake as well, but now it seemed he would have to offer all his Soul Condensing Pills in exchange maybe to acquire this fragment.

However, the Soul Condensing Pills were extremely difficult to craft, and he couldn’t produce them yet. Once he offered all of them, it would be troublesome when he needed some in the future.

Moreover, if he indeed acquired this fragment, he would probably become the target of many, with everyone’s eyes on him. Once his identity got exposed, he would be completely doomed, even the protection of the War God would be futile.

Yet, if this fragment fell into the hands of those major forces, it would be very difficult for him to seize it, and he didn’t want to waste this opportunity. After all, he already possessed one fragment. With another, he would have two.

”Master, the previous owner of this Lingyun Ring left behind cultivation resources, which are certainly better than the treasures inside. I think there’s no need to exhaust yourself trying to obtain some fragment to find treasures, just break through to the Saint Realm, and you can access the contents of the Lingyun Ring,”

At that moment, the voice of the Instrument Soul, Xiao Ling, emanated from the Lingyun Sword, making Ye Luo suddenly realize that Xiao Ling had a point.

The former owner of Xiao Ling, being a powerhouse in the Martial Realm, obviously wouldn’t leave behind resources inferior to those in this world.

Actually, he didn’t really need to obtain the fragment to search for that treasure. He just needed to calmly cultivate to the Saint Realm and open the Lingyun Ring.

With that in mind, Ye Luo relaxed completely, adopting a spectator’s demeanor as he watched the crowd fiercely vying with each other.

At that moment, the auction was still in full swing. The major forces showed no sign of stopping, continuing their fierce competition, but now only Tianzong, Seven Stars Pavilion, Ruthless Valley, and Elixir Sect still had the resources to compete.

The other forces, though desiring to compete, could no longer produce much for the exchange.

The highest current bid was from the Elixir Sect: ten Yellow Rank sixth-grade Elixirs, five Yellow Rank seventh-grade Qi Recovery Pills, two Yellow Rank eighth-grade Elixirs, also forty Superior grade Spirit Stones.

Only the tier-one peak forces or super-tier forces could easily offer such a large sum; otherwise, even a tier-one force would feel the pinch after offering so much, and even if they obtained the fragment, there was no guarantee they’d find the treasure, so they naturally gave up.

After several more rounds of bidding, Elixir Sect finally secured the fragment with fifteen Yellow Rank sixth-grade Elixirs, ten Yellow Rank seventh-grade Qi Recovery Pills, five Yellow Rank eighth-grade Elixirs, one Yellow Rank ninth-grade Elixir, fifty Superior grade Spirit Stones, and five millennium-old Spiritual Medicines, an effort only the Elixir Sect could afford.

As the only Hidden Sect specializing in Alchemy, Elixir Sect’s resources definitely ranked among the top among the super-tier forces, capable of competing even against Seven Stars Pavilion and Dragon Pavilion.

With its heritage spanning thousands of years, plus the Elixirs crafted within its halls and various resources obtained through exchanges, Elixir Sect was immensely wealthy, which was why Mu Sen could afford such a costly price to acquire the fragment.

”It’s finally in hand!”

In the private room on the third floor, Mu Sen’s expression was extremely excited, radiating an intense fervor.

”Do you think even if you get this partial map, you can take it back to Elixir Sect?”

At this moment, Mu Qingsong, who was nearby, spoke to Mu Sen.

”Do you think they will make a move to snatch it?” Mu Sen said solemnly.

”Although Elixir Sect is powerful, everyone here at the auction is eyeing this map, and you only possess Saint Realm strength. It might not be so easy to protect this map, especially since just now, even Hua Yuan Realm powerhouses couldn’t help but make a move for it,” replied Mu Qingsong, his eyes twinkling with sagacious light.

Mu Sen, however, revealed a cryptic smile, ”Do you really think a huge Elixir Sect would only send a few of us with Saint Realm strength?”

”Has Elixir Sect secretly sent others too?” Mu Qingsong’s eyes sharpened.

”If they do not act, so be it. Once they do, they will realize the true might of Elixir Sect,” Mu Sen scoffed, his eyes flashing disdain.

”But what I’m most curious about now is what this last auction item is, to be ranked even after this map. Could it possibly be more valuable than this map?” Mu Sen’s gaze narrowed, filled with curiosity.

At this moment, not only Mu Sen was curious, but the other major powers were as well. They had only heard about the auction of this map and weren’t informed of any other items. The positioning of this item at the very end of the auction attested to its value, stirring curiosity among many.

Even Ye Luo was full of curiosity, wanting to know what this last auction item was.

”Ladies and gentlemen, today’s auction has reached its final and crucial moment. We are now going to auction today’s last item, and I hope everyone will actively bid!”

Xuan Ruoyan’s lips curled into a slight smile, a sparkle passing through her bright eyes. Then, she slowly stepped aside as an elderly man in a gray robe, with graying hair, walked from a passageway. He was holding an exquisite sandalwood box and slowly made his way up to the auction stage.

This old man’s strength had reached the ninth level of Hua Yuan Realm, making him one of the top powerhouses present.

”Ladies and gentlemen, I am one of the managers of today’s auction. The last item is inside this box, please enjoy,” he said briefly.

After speaking, he opened the box and took out the item inside, presenting it to everyone.

A black token with a golden letter inscribed — ’Martial’.

Indeed, it was the character ’Martial’. Meanwhile, this token conveyed a holy and powerful, unfathomable authority, instilling an instinctual urge to submit deep within the hearts of those present, rendering them unable to show any disrespect towards it.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the golden ’Martial’ character, feeling a divine aura descend upon them, sparking fear in their hearts.

Boom!

Many in the audience were startled by the sight of the token, their minds resonating with thunder, their eyes revealing a shocked and dazed expression.
