Nine hundred million!
A Nirvana Pill was actually called out to a price of nine hundred million. This not only shocked the entire audience, but even the "Yuji Zi" who was selling the items was stunned for a moment. Then he waved his hand, and two experts beside him immediately disappeared behind the scenes, sprinting towards two VIP rooms respectively.
"The price is too high, it is not worth it. Logically speaking, at most, this Nirvana Pill can only be sold for between five hundred million and six hundred million. Raising the price like this now is simply burning money and almost driving one to bankruptcy." Prince Yi also became frightened.
"One billion!"
Fang Han gave a cold sneer and called out a number that made people completely dumbfounded.
One billion, a full one billion medicinal pills. It was rumored that the Savage Great Emperor had refined five or six supreme quality treasures of extreme power and sold them to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, yet they were only exchanged for one billion medicinal pills. Now, this single Nirvana Pill, although it was a legendary Heaven Tier supreme quality pill, was not an Immortal Pill after all and could not be sold for a price of one billion.
Hua Tiandu was slightly taken aback and frowned. He had not expected the other party to raise the price to such a high level. Although he could afford one billion medicinal pills, the other party's posture of being determined to win seemed to carry the intention of continuing to increase the price. If this bidding war continued, it would probably reach a terrifying figure.
He was not someone who earned gold by the bucketload every day. Although he had obtained the inheritance of the Panwu Immortal Venerable, over the years, to win over the Taiyi Sect, his own cultivation had consumed a lot of resources. It seemed not worth it for this single Nirvana Pill.
Of course, he did not know that the person opposite him was Fang Han. If he knew, he would definitely continue bidding.
"Mr. Hua…" Prince Feng saw Hua Tiandu's expression: "If you insist on buying this medicinal pill, I can…"
"No need!" Hua Tiandu said. "If we continue fighting for it, the Jiuding Xuan will just benefit for nothing. This brother of yours, Prince Yi, has great boldness. Dropping one billion medicinal pills at once makes him comparable to the giants of the Mystic Realm of Longevity. It seems you need to pay close attention. There are still some good medicinal pills coming up, especially at the grand finale, there is an Immortal Pill. Wait and save some funds so we can buy the final treasure."
In a treasure-selling assembly, having the first treasure be excellent was a good start, while the final treasure was the grand finale.
"Indeed, I have also heard that the final item of this Jiuding Xuan treasure-selling assembly is a legendary Immortal Pill! I wonder what kind of medicinal pill it is." Wang Tianyi said. "Reserving funds to buy the final Immortal Pill is the right path."
"An Immortal Pill? Legend has it that only people in the Mystic Realm of Longevity can consume it. I would actually like to take a look." Hua Tiandu calmed down. "After the auction is over, I will go meet that Prince Yi and see what use he has for that Nirvana Pill."
Thus, Hua Tiandu stopped bidding.
The Nirvana Pill of the first round was bought away by Fang Han at a sky-high price of one billion.
In Fang Han's VIP room, a person dressed in white and wearing a white cloak came up holding a box containing the Nirvana Pill. "Prince Yi, this is the Nirvana Pill. Please take out one billion medicinal pills."
"Dao friend! I only have two hundred million on me… adding your six hundred million, that makes only eight hundred million…" Prince Yi sent a voice transmission to Fang Han. He did not want to take out more medicinal pills.
"Prince Yi, I know you have savings of four or five hundred million on you. However, I won't ask for yours for nothing. You should know that I can refine Nascent Soul Pills. But it is not good to reveal this matter." Fang Han gave a cold sneer, communicating with Prince Yi using his spirit.
"Alright then!" Prince Yi gritted his teeth, took out four crystal cards from his body, added them to Fang Han's six, and handed them to the person in white. This person in white checked them over and then handed the Nirvana Pill to Prince Yi. "Prince Yi, the final treasure auctioned by my Jiuding Xuan is a legendary Immortal Pill. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it and participate."
"Good, step down."
Prince Yi was feeling the pain in his heart and waved his hand.
Fang Han reached out and snatched this Nirvana Pill. "Prince Yi, let's leave immediately!"
"What? Leave right now? Aren't we going to wait for that Immortal Pill auctioned at the very end? Even if we can't buy it, it would be good to witness it. That is a legendary Immortal Pill!" Prince Yi was momentarily stunned.
"What is there to see about an Immortal Pill. Even if you get it, you won't be able to swallow it. Instead, it would be a disaster. I can say for sure that this Immortal Pill will fall into the hands of Hua Tiandu, but he won't be able to consume it either. Sooner or later, he will be killed by me, and the Immortal Pill will also be mine. What is the rush. Getting this Nirvana Pill, nine times out of ten, I can cultivate to the boundary of the Divine Ability Seventh Realm, the Golden Core. Moreover, after Hua Tiandu buys the Immortal Pill, he will definitely come over to investigate you. If he discovers any clues then and a conflict arises, it will not be a good thing. Right now, I still cannot do anything to him. Once I cultivate the Golden Core, humph! I will make him beg for life but be unable to live, and beg for death but be unable to die!"
Fang Han's powerful spiritual thoughts poured into Prince Yi's mind.
Prince Yi thought about it, and it was indeed true. Thus, he stood up. "Let's go!"
With this, they immediately left Jiuding Xuan. The group hurriedly rushed back to the prince's mansion. Fang Han asked Prince Yi to find him an isolated secret room, and then he began his secluded cultivation.
This was a secret room deep underground, fully over a hundred zhang across. All four walls were cast with unalloyed hardware iron several zhang thick, engraved with various talismans to hide auras. This was the secret room Prince Yi used to cultivate his divine abilities, situated beneath the study. It was said that no matter how loud the commotion inside, not a single trace of aura would be revealed outside.
Fang Han cultivated right here, preparing to advance to the Golden Core!
The Divine Ability Seventh Realm, the boundary of the Golden Core Seed!
This would also be the beginning of his ascending to the heavens in a single step. By condensing over fifty great divine abilities into a Golden Core all at once, during the metamorphosis process, his physical body would also be enhanced to an unimaginable realm.
The more divine abilities one had, the harder it was to refine the Golden Core.
However, once refined, during the metamorphosis, those divine ability auras would combine with the physical body, thereby greatly increasing the physical body's lifespan. If one cultivated divine abilities after advancing to the Golden Core, although the power would be the same, it would no longer have the effect of increasing lifespan.
Like the Azure Yang Patriarch, his Golden Core had thirteen divine abilities, but six of those divine abilities were cultivated after refining the Golden Core. This meant that when he advanced to the Golden Core, he metamorphosed with seven divine abilities. His lifespan did not increase by much, only a few hundred years.
Fang Qingxue metamorphosed with twenty-four divine abilities. Then the increase would be massive; three or five thousand years would not be strange.
As for the Golden Cores of Zhao Xuanyi and Song Weiyi, although both had twenty-seven divine abilities, most of them were cultivated later, and they did not have many intrinsic divine abilities.
Divine abilities attained before the Golden Core were called "intrinsic divine abilities"!
Why were they called intrinsic?
It was still because when metamorphosing the Golden Core, these divine abilities and the physical body exchanged vital energy with each other, becoming a single entity. When utilized later, they would be extremely flexible and versatile, equivalent to being a part of one's body. Therefore, they were called intrinsic divine abilities.
Metamorphosing the Golden Core was an extremely important process. It was a cornerstone on the path to immortality. The firmer the foundation, the greater the chance of cultivating to the Mystic Realm of Longevity and becoming an eternal giant.
However, ordinary experts did not have much lifespan before the Golden Core. Nor could they cultivate many divine abilities. They could only hurry to metamorphose into the Golden Core to live a few more years and see if there were other opportunities. Such experts mostly had no hope for the Mystic Realm of Longevity and could not become eternal giants.
"With my fifty-five divine abilities cultivating into a Golden Core, will I directly metamorphose into a nine-thousand-year lifespan?" A strange thought surged in Fang Han's heart, and then he smiled.
"Baby Xingyun! This time I spent one billion medicinal pills to buy a Nirvana Pill! If you take it and still cannot break through to the Heaven and Human Realm, I will eat you!"
With a wave of Fang Han's hand, Baby Xingyun came out of the Sun, Moon, and Five Stars Bracelet, sleepily opening his eyes.
He had eaten the Divine Ability Fruit and the Yin Yang Myriad Life Pill. He had also been tempered by Fang Qingxue using the Imperishable Lightning Talisman, yet he had actually still not broken through to the "Heaven and Human Realm." This was somewhat bizarre.
Although Fang Han knew that the Future Star Constellation Great Dharma that Baby Xingyun cultivated was a supreme divine ability and breaking through was extremely difficult, even though it was not as formidable as his own Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Ability, the accumulation it required was horrifyingly staggering.
"Eat! Eat! Eat! I will eat this medicinal pill first!" Baby Xingyun grabbed the Nirvana Pill, laughing 'hehe,' and spewed out a surge of stellar power to wrap around it, swallowing it into his belly.
"Puff!" Puff! Puff!
As soon as he swallowed this Nirvana Pill, flames sprayed out all over his body. An incredibly strong power seemed to be calcining every inch of his body, like a phoenix attaining nirvana and being reborn from the ashes.
Even the vital energy of his Future Star Constellation Great Dharma was being calcined. Strands of starlight became even more dazzling and bright, like spiral galaxies, continuously flowing and revealing the wondrous mysteries of the universe.
"I have been lazy since birth, one dream spans a thousand years. Suddenly comprehending the marvels of Heaven and Human, I am the Great Dharma King of the Future Starry Sky!"
Baby Xingyun seemed to be reciting a gatha from within the Future Star Constellation Great Dharma. Amidst his recitation, a starry cloud flowed ceaselessly above his head, condensing into a wondrous array. Beneath his feet, a starry cloud also rose.
The vital energy of his Future Star Constellation Great Dharma had finally condensed into an array! Originally, when he urged this supreme divine ability, he looked like a holy infant within the starry sky. But now, he faintly carried a somewhat authoritative aura of a Starry Sky Great Dharma King.
"Great Dharma King of the Future Starry Sky…" Yan waved its claws, continuously slapping: "What a grand momentum, damn it."
"At least he didn't disappoint me! He cultivated to the Heaven and Human Realm. The one billion medicinal pills were not spent in vain. You really get what you pay for. If you still didn't break through, I would have even thought about committing suicide." Fang Han let out a breath of relief, discerning the marvels of the Nirvana Pill. Baby Xingyun's breakthrough was related to his grand plan. With this breakthrough, Baby Xingyun could also go to his Qunxing Sect to flaunt his might.
"Zhao Xuanyi oh Zhao Xuanyi, your Golden Core can finally be of use!" Fang Han chuckled maliciously and took out Zhao Xuanyi's Golden Core. He struck out with a punch, and the Golden Core shattered immediately. In an instant, it transformed into twenty-seven great divine ability arrays, spinning everywhere! Fang Han successively spat out vital energy to stabilize these arrays, preventing them from dissipating!
"Baby Xingyun, hurry up and devour these great arrays!"
Baby Xingyun had just cultivated to the Heaven and Human Realm. His five internal organs underwent earth-shattering changes, his physical body was enhanced, and his lifespan increased. He was still savoring the feeling. Upon hearing Fang Han's words, without even thinking, he opened his mouth and fiercely gobbled them up. One great array after another was eaten. He ate twenty-six in a row. He only left one great array behind, which was exactly the "God Sealing Great Array".
Fang Han nodded. As soon as his intrinsic talisman flew out, it circled and spun around the God Sealing Great Array, refining it. Gradually, the God Sealing Great Array dissolved into six streams of vital energy and was sucked into his own six hollow organs.
The six God Sealing Monuments also flew out subsequently, continuously shrinking as Fang Han spat out vital energy.
"Six-Eyed God Sealing Monuments! Merge into my six hollow organs! Make my physical body incomparably enhanced! Whether I can condense the Golden Core and ascend to the heavens in a single step! It all depends on this move!"
Right now was the critical moment!
