Chapter 47: Shock Among the Major Families
Thinking about the poison branded within his body, Nalan Jie's heart was filled with gloom.
Once the poison erupts, there is no cure.
As the pillar of the Nalan family, if he were to fall, and Yanran, that girl, hasn't grown up yet, the Nalan family would be in jeopardy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the private room, snapping Nalan Jie out of his melancholy.
"Come in." Subsequently, Nalan Jie faintly replied to the person outside the door.
Creak!
As the private room door opened, a fair-looking maidservant walked in with a list in her hand.
"Dear guest, this is the auction item list sent by the Elder Supervisor for you to review," the maidservant said as she placed the list gently on the table in front of Nalan Jie.
"Auction item list?"
"Didn't he already give it to me?" Nalan Jie furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.
The maidservant smiled faintly and explained, "The Elder Supervisor said that there is an additional auction item this time, and this list is the most recent one that was just updated."
"An added auction item?" Nalan Jie's face showed a trace of curiosity upon hearing the maidservant's words.
"Could it be something extraordinary? If it were just an ordinary item, there would be no need for this elaborate arrangement, and they wouldn't have sent me the latest list."
Thinking this, Nalan Jie reached out and picked up the list from the table, examining it carefully.
After a moment, Nalan Jie's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face turned pale.
"A sixth-grade Dou Spirit Pill!"
"The highlight of this auction is actually a sixth-grade Dou Spirit Pill!"
Nalan Jie's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at the list in his hand.
Immediately, he regained his composure, and his breathing quickened once again.
"I must obtain this Dou Spirit Pill!"
Ever since he was afflicted with the poison, Nalan Jie had been stuck at the six-star Dou King realm for four long years, unable to make a breakthrough.
Every time the poison flared up, Nalan Jie had to expend a considerable amount of energy to suppress it.
Not to mention breaking through, in recent years, his cultivation has shown a trend of decline.
Now, the appearance of this Dou Spirit Pill undoubtedly gave Nalan Jie hope.
As long as he takes this Dou Spirit Pill, he can successfully advance to the Seven-Star Dou King realm.
By then, he might be able to suppress the poison within his body.
Or even completely remove it!
Thinking of this, Nalan Jie's expression became somewhat excited.
Today, this Dou Spirit Pill is his for the taking.
At the same time, in a nearby private room, the head of the Mu family, Mu Chen, also received the latest list from a maidservant.
"Dou Spirit Pill!"
"Haha, there's actually a Dou Spirit Pill up for auction. This is truly heaven-sent!"
Mu Chen looked at the list in his hand and appeared even more excited than Nalan Jie.
Although the Mu family was one of the three major noble families in the imperial capital along with the Nalan and Mitel families, Mu Chen knew that there was still a significant gap in strength between the Mu family and the other two clans.
If it weren't for the Mu family's significant ties to the Gamma Empire and its influence within the military, they might not be able to compete with the other two major families.
Furthermore, Mu Chen's cultivation was at the Four-Star Dou King realm, making him the last among the top ten powerhouses in the Gamma Empire.
At this moment, Mu Chen looked at the list in his hand, and his face was filled with excitement.
If he obtained this Dou Spirit Pill, his strength would greatly increase.
This would narrow the gap between the Mu family and the other two major noble families.
And it would firmly establish the Mu family's position among the three major families.
Similar situations were unfolding in other private rooms in the imperial capital.
In the early stages of the auction, there weren't any extraordinary items that ignited the atmosphere. Moreover, those who were bidding were just some of the attendees in the auction hall, while the powerful factions sitting in private rooms had yet to make a move.
"Ding."
Once again, a crisp bell sound echoed from the crystal podium as Miteer ~ Tushan received a small silver tray from a maidservant. On the silver tray, there were two transparent small jade bottles, each containing a pale blue pill.
As soon as these pills appeared, they attracted many gazes. After all, in the Dou Qi Continent, pills were highly sought after items, almost on par with techniques and combat skills. Some pills could directly enhance one's strength, making them highly coveted.
"Hehe, this pill is called the 'Azure Spirit Pill.' I'm sure many of you have heard of it. It can help those who have been stuck at the pinnacle of Dou Master for a long time to break through the barriers. Moreover, this Azure Spirit Pill is of the second-grade quality. After taking it, if you're lucky, you might even skyrocket to the Two-Star level of strength," Miteer ~ Tushan said with a smile, pointing at the pill in the bottle.
As soon as Miteer ~ Tushan's words fell, the auction hall erupted in excitement, with countless people staring at the jade bottles on the silver tray.
This kind of pill that could help people break through class barriers was nearly impossible to find, even in the imperial capital. Though the difference between a Dou Master and a Great Dou Master was just one word, only by stepping into the latter could one truly be considered to have reached the pinnacle in the path of cultivating Dou Qi. It was a significant leap, and countless people were stuck at the pinnacle of Dou Master, unable to take that step forward.
However, all these issues could easily be solved with a single Azure Spirit Pill. As a result, even some prominent noble families in the front row showed some interest. After all, one Azure Spirit Pill could cultivate a Great Dou Master. In the long run, this deal was quite cost-effective. Although the true masters in the Gamma Empire were the Dou Huang powerhouses, Great Dou Masters were the backbone of many factions. Adding a few more of them was always a good thing.
"Of course, since you've heard of the Azure Spirit Pill, I believe you should also be aware of some of its negative effects," the auctioneer smiled slyly. He didn't explain the pill's backlash effect too clearly, just alluded to it vaguely, then continued, "Starting bid, 330,000!"
"340,000!" As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone from the rear shouted loudly.
"350,000!" It was evident that there were many interested bidders for this second-grade Azure Spirit Pill, and in less than a minute, the previous bidding price was quickly surpassed.
