Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

"Nascent Soul Pill! It's actually the legendary Nascent Soul Pill!"

"Although it's just of inferior quality, it can increase the odds of Nascent Soul condensation by five percent! This is almost the best spiritual object we cultivators can obtain!"

".….."

Every Core Formation cultivator present had their eyes turn red, staring intently at that Nascent Soul Pill.

Even though the Nascent Soul Pill was of inferior quality, it was still an extremely precious item. As for genuine Nascent Soul Pills, they had never appeared at any of the Great Qian Empire's major auctions.

Those genuine Nascent Soul Pills were mostly monopolized treasures of the major powers, given only to the Nascent Soul seeds of these powers, and never to outsiders.

Spiritual objects that aid in Nascent Soul condensation are also exceedingly rare, seldom appearing at auctions.

"Eighteen million Spirit Stones!"

"Nineteen million Spirit Stones!"

".…..."

The price of the inferior Nascent Soul Pill continued to rise steadily, easily breaking through the twenty million Spirit Stones mark and soon after, the thirty million Spirit Stones threshold.

Zhao Yu spoke slowly, "Thirty-six million Spirit Stones!"

All the Golden Core cultivators in the various private boxes instantly fell silent.

If it were a genuine Nascent Soul Pill, even bidding one or two hundred million Spirit Stones would not be surprising, given that the birth of a Nascent Soul Cultivator could easily dominate a Fourth Order Spiritual Land, ruling that territory for over a thousand years. If there was a chance, they could even take over a Fifth Order Spiritual Land and become a regional overlord.

However, the inferior Nascent Soul Pill could only increase the Nascent Soul condensation chances by a mere five percent, and these Golden Core cultivators had their limits in the amount of Spirit Stones they could offer.

Thirty-six million Spirit Stones in the Great Qian Empire were only possible for Golden Core powers which had controlled a Fourth Order Spiritual Land for over a thousand years and managed it well.

Yu Fei said with a smile, "Thirty-six million Spirit Stones for the third time! Congratulations to Box Number 735 for obtaining this Nascent Soul Pill!"

Thump! Thump!

Soon, there was a knock on the door of the private box where Zhao Yu was.

Zhao Yu gestured slightly, and Zhou Minglan went to open the door, where Store Manager Yan Wuheng from the Yunluo Commerce Guild stood.

Yan Wuheng walked in with a smile, "Congratulations, Daoist Wu, this is your Nascent Soul Pill!"

"It's a pity it's just an inferior Nascent Soul Pill!"

A trace of regret flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes as he took out several storage bags, removed the Spirit Stones inside, handed them to Yan Wuheng, then took the Nascent Soul Pill, glanced at it, swallowed it in one gulp, and directly stimulated the Dao Fruit to refine it, obtaining the Nascent Soul Pill's recipe.

Yan Wuheng was slightly stunned and asked, "Daoist Wu, what are you doing?"

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm just a mere early stage Golden Core cultivator, how can I keep such an inferior Nascent Soul Pill safe? The cultivation technique I practice is quite unique, and this inferior Nascent Soul Pill can help me break through a bottleneck, allowing me to advance to mid-stage Golden Core and enhance the power of one of my spells!"

Yan Wuheng said, "I see, Daoist Wu, you are indeed clever! By the way, there are a few fools collecting information about you. But rest assured, our Yunluo Commerce Guild will definitely not reveal your information. Please be careful."

Thirty-six million Spirit Stones was indeed a vast sum, and many Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators, unless born into large powers, could definitely not afford such an amount.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zhao Yu had also acquired the savings of several major sects in North Desolation, and only after dominating North Desolation for a hundred years had he accumulated so many Spirit Stones.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, "I understand!"

Only then did Yan Wuheng rise to take his leave.

Zhao Yu said, "Minglan, would you like to leave here and become my maidservant?"

Zhou Minglan's eyes lit up as she responded, "May I ask what instructions the senior has? If this servant can manage it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I need you to do me a small favor, pretend to be bribed and leak my information subtly to those who want to know it. If someone in Yunluo Immortal City asks about this matter, go find Yan Wuheng, the Store Manager, and tell him that this is my will."

"Yes, senior!"

Zhou Minglan respectfully complied and left silently.

The auction continued to be incredibly impressive, featuring many items that even Zhao Yu coveted, which included Fourth Order Earth-Attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and millennia-old Spiritual Medicines. The highlight of the auction was a semi-spiritual treasure that fetched an astronomical price of one hundred and twenty million Spirit Stones.

Once a magical treasure develops Spirituality, it becomes a Spiritual Treasure. The power of a Spiritual Treasure far exceeds that of a magical treasure, and a single Spiritual Treasure can become a sect-suppressing treasure pivotal to a Nascent Soul Great Sect.

A semi-spiritual treasure is a magical treasure that has begun to develop Spirituality but hasn't fully transformed. Its power greatly surpasses that of an ordinary Supreme Grade magical treasure but still hasn't reached the level of a Spiritual Treasure.

Once the auction ended, Zhao Yu leisurely left the private box and walked outside.

As Zhao Yu walked through a corridor, a tall and burly Golden Core Cultivator with short black hair, dressed in a scholar's robe, and possessing a handsome appearance, brushed past him.

In the instant they brushed past each other, a tiny insect from the sleeve of the Golden Core Cultivator emitted a hair-thin, completely transparent mucus that stuck to the sole of Zhao Yu's shoe.

Zhao Yu seemingly departed the auction unaware of anything.

"How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Your journey continues with empire

A tall Golden Core Cultivator with several meaty growths on his face and a head full of white hair, appearing rather ugly, stood next to a voluptuous and sexy female cultivator with wine-red hair and an attractive figure.

The scholarly dressed handsome Golden Core Cultivator confidently smiled, "It was successful! That man is merely a novice in the Golden Core stage, obviously unable to detect my thousand-mile tracking insect scent liquid."

The sexy and charming female cultivator spoke with slight concern, "That man could come up with thirty-six million Spirit Stones, he might have some background."

The scholar-garbed Golden Core Cultivator confidently smiled again, "I have inquired, his surname is Wu, and he is an elder from a Golden Core Power in a remote area. Those Spirit Stones were probably their millennium savings. The Great Qian Empire doesn't have a record of this person!"

The Golden Core Cultivator with facial tumors greedily said, "Let's kill him and then sell the Infant Solidifying Pill. All three of us could buy the pills needed to break through our bottlenecks.

The beautiful female cultivator said, "Hurry and catch up to him; don't let him truly escape! The thousand-mile tracking insect scent liquid can only maintain a distance of a thousand miles!"

The three Golden Core Cultivators quickly left Yunluo Immortal City.

An hour later.

Zhao Yu flew to a desolate area, suddenly stopped his Escape Light, and looked back through the clouds, saying, "Fellow Daoists have been relentlessly pursuing Wu. May I know what this is about?"

"Boy, you're quite perceptive! Hand over all the treasures on you, and we might spare your life!"

The three large Golden Core Cultivators appeared from the clouds, the one with facial tumors said with a sinister smile.
