All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 56

“Well, are you still bidding? It’s already 30 million. Bidding more might affect the competition for the last two treasures,” some participants were already backing out.

“Blood Jade Tokens don’t usually circulate. Seeing one at an auction is already rare. I don’t want to miss it. What if there’s really something I want there?” Another person muttered, then called out a high price of 35 million.

“Not many people know the secret of the Blood Jade Token. Many have gone there and returned. Not everyone gains something, and there might even be life-threatening dangers. Many have perished there. Without a compelling reason to go, these tens of millions aren’t worth spending. I’d better give up. It’s better to steadily buy some cultivation resources I need with these tens of millions,” someone contemplated.

Slowly, the Blood Jade Token was bid up to 40 million.

Baizhi gritted her teeth, “45 million!”

Zhanyue beside her could see that this girl was determined to get this item.

“48 million!” At this price point, only two voices were left bidding.

“50 million!” Baizhi bid again.

“What a pity. If I didn’t need to save money for the items later, I’d really like to take this and experience it. What a shame.” The person bidding against her finally gave up. He knew that if he went higher, others would probably follow. 50 million was his psychological limit.

Baizhi let out a long sigh, her whole body going limp. This was a reaction to extreme tension. There had been no battle, but the previous bidding had used up all her mental energy.

Having achieved her wish, Baizhi had no interest in the later auction items. She just wanted to leave immediately, but leaving now would be too conspicuous.

“What exactly is this thing you bought for 50 million for?” Zhanyue leaned over, asking curiously.

But Baizhi shook her head, “I’m sorry, I don’t want to talk now.” She was really quite tired, even falling asleep right there.

Zhanyue was a bit taken aback, but this auction was interesting, so he had to continue watching.

“Sister, do you know what this thing is for?” Zhanyue asked for help.

“I don’t know,” However, the illumination Goddess didn’t know the use of this item. After all, she wasn’t from this era, and this item probably hadn’t appeared too long ago.

“This next auction item is a seventh-grade spirit beast egg – the Tai Xuan Golden Python. We all know how powerful beast contractors are, but apart from those born as beast contractors, we still have a chance to have our own beast companions. Although not as mystical and convenient as beast contractors’ companions, if raised well, they can still be our capable assistants. The Tai Xuan Golden Python’s highest growth potential is equivalent to the human Sun Profound Realm. Of course, it also depends on how you raise it, but a minimum of Star Profound Realm assistance is no problem. We won’t set a starting price for this item, bid as you please,” Bing Qianqiu said.

“A loyal Profound Realm fighter, with the potential to be raised to Sun Profound Realm. With this, my family’s strength would rise a level. I must try my best to get it.”

Immediately, bids were called out continuously. Zhanyue marveled but could only watch the excitement. Joking aside, the price had already been called up to 200 million.

In the end, this seventh-grade spirit beast egg was bought by that Sun Profound Realm elder for 700 million, far exceeding the previous auction items.

“A spirit beast egg that can grow to Sun Profound Realm is already 700 million. What about a Spirit God level spirit beast egg?” Zhanyue didn’t dare imagine. In fact, such a level of egg would never appear at an auction.

“The booklet earlier mentioned there was a seventh-grade pill among the auction items. How come we haven’t seen it yet? Could it be that this last treasure is the seventh-grade pill? But no matter how you look at it, a seventh-grade pill can’t compare to a seventh-grade spirit beast egg, right?” Zhanyue was a bit confused.

“Everyone… we’ve finally come to the last auction item. Putting a seventh-grade pill last, you must all be very curious,” Bing Qianqiu said with a smile. “We all know that ordinary people live to 100, while Profound Beings live to 500. Profound Beings also have parents, wives, children, masters, friends, but not everyone has the aptitude for cultivation. Even taking a lot of fifth-grade Profound Entering Pills won’t let them enter the Profound Realm.”

“Couples who promised to spend their lives together can’t grow old together. How many powerful Profound Beings have had to bury their children? All this is because the people they care about don’t have cultivation aptitude and can’t enter the Profound Realm. But now, an opportunity has come! This seventh-grade pill is the legendary, long-lost Profound Breaking Pill! This pill was discovered in ancient ruins. It’s the first time a Profound Breaking Pill has appeared at our auction,” Bing Qianqiu said excitedly.

“Profound — Breaking — Pill!” These three words made everyone present boil over with excitement. The Profound Breaking Pill is only a seventh-grade pill because seventh-grade alchemists can refine it, but the materials are very difficult to collect. Moreover, the formula was long lost, so the Profound Breaking Pills appearing now are all discovered in ancient ruins. As the name suggests, it can force people without cultivation aptitude, or those stuck at the door of the Profound Realm, to break through to the Profound Realm. Although those who break through using the Profound Breaking Pill can only stay at the first stage of Star Profound Realm for life, unable to advance further. But the difference between the ninth stage of Soul Control Realm and the first stage of Star Profound Realm, one step apart, is the difference between living 100 years and 500 years.

The Profound Breaking Pill is useless to Profound Beings, but as Bing Qianqiu said, which Profound Being doesn’t have parents, wives, and children? Can all their relatives enter the Profound Realm? Five hundred years is too long, long enough to witness the passing of many loved ones.

“900 million!”

“1 billion!”

Zhanyue was stunned. These bids were increasing by 100 million each time. The value of this seventh-grade Profound Breaking Pill opened Zhanyue’s eyes.

“If someone had the Profound Breaking Pill formula, wouldn’t they directly become the world’s richest person?” Zhanyue muttered happily.

“Don’t even think about it. Someone once excavated fragments of the Profound Breaking Pill formula. Although it wasn’t complete, it gave some insight. Some key spirit materials for refining the Profound Breaking Pill are already extinct. Otherwise, why do you think a seventh-grade pill is so expensive?” Baizhi had woken up and heard Zhanyue’s self-talk, criticizing him.

In the end, the Profound Breaking Pill was bought for 2.3 billion by someone sent by the Sea Suppressing King. Everyone suddenly remembered that the Sea Suppressing King seemed to have a eldest son with mediocre cultivation aptitude, already over 60 but still at the ninth stage of Soul Control Realm, having eaten many Profound Entering Pills without effect. It seems that even Spirit God experts can’t forcibly make their family members enter the Profound Realm.

“Let’s go. Once we get the item, we’ll leave immediately. The three associations have done a good job with protection. We can leave through the secret passage to avoid being robbed.”

The auction officially ended, and everyone left. Some people’s eyes inevitably showed disappointment. Missing this Profound Breaking Pill might mean never having another chance. But the sky-high price of 2.3 billion deterred people. Besides, even if they continued bidding, it would still end up with the Sea Suppressing King in the end. Who could be richer than the City Lord of Pearl City?

After leaving through the secret passage, Baizhi took Zhanyue directly towards Black Whale Island. “Once we reach Black Whale Island, our transaction will be over. I’ll give you the pill formula.”

Baizhi had now recovered her spiritual power. After all, the two were about to part ways, and she didn’t want to continue being a helpless ordinary person.

Soon, the two boarded a fishing boat. After giving the fisherman some money, he took them towards Black Whale Island. Black Whale Island was to the east of Pearl City, not a bustling place or tourist attraction, rarely visited by people. Generally, only some fishermen would rest there.

However, at this moment, apart from Baizhi and Zhanyue, there were actually several other fishing boats sailing towards Black Whale Island. Zhanyue’s heart jolted, fearing that the trouble wasn’t over yet.
