Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Soon, Chu Yunfan learned from the fat man that there would indeed be precious Heaven-rank cultivation techniques up for auction at this event.

"A Heaven-rank cultivation technique is considered a top-tier cultivation technique in the outside world."

Moreover, this technique is said to have no attributes, making it suitable for all cultivators, which is perfect for Chen Yu Luo Yan and the others.

And Xiang Fei, she's currently only practicing a low-level cultivation technique; we can pass it on to her later!

As Chu Yunfan plotted in his mind, he walked back to his room.

There are still two days until the auction officially begins.

In the past two days, Chu Yunfan has not continued refining pills, but instead has chosen to improve his cultivation.

During the previous month of frantically refining pills, Chu Yunfan's spiritual energy was constantly depleted and replenished, repeating this countless times. As a result, his spiritual energy had become extremely condensed, and his cultivation had long been stable.

If his cultivation level wasn't stable enough, Chu Yunfan wouldn't have experienced the automatic increase in his cultivation level before; the power generated by dual cultivation would directly escape from his body.

Inside the room, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged, focusing intently on refining the inner core of the Flaming Lion in his dantian, his cultivation level visibly increasing.

Because the power contained within the Flaming Lion is the King Yuan Power of the Demon King realm, Chu Yunfan only needs to refine it and then combine it with the original spiritual power in his dantian to transform it into his own King Yuan Power.

This process is much simpler than Chu Yunfan directly upgrading his original spiritual power to the level of Wang Yuanli.

Similarly, this method of cultivation is much faster.

In just two days, the amount of Yuan Power in Chu Yunfan's dantian increased significantly.

However, there is still a long way to go before all the spiritual energy in the dantian is converted into royal energy.

"After the auction ends, I will raise my cultivation to the peak of the half-step Martial King realm in one fell swoop."

Then, add the Soul Condensing Pill reward from the Inner Sect Grand Competition.

I should be able to break through to the Martial King realm soon!

It must be said that the rewards for the Inner Sect Competition are quite generous.

The Soul-Gathering Pills that were awarded were all top-grade pills.

It should be noted that the Soul Condensation Pill is already a fifth-tier pill, and it belongs to the soul-type pill category. The difficulty of refining it is much higher than that of ordinary fifth-tier pills, equivalent to the difficulty of refining ordinary sixth-tier pills.

This is just a regular quality Soul Condensing Pill. As for the top-grade Soul Condensing Pill, even most Pill Emperors don't have the ability to refine it.

The Qingyun Sword Sect, however, directly offered so many top-grade Soul Condensing Pills as a reward to its disciples.

It can only be said that the foundation of major sects is indeed profound.

After making his plans, Chu Yunfan led Chen Yu, Luo Yan, Bi Yue, and Xiu Hua directly to the auction house.

With his status as a Zijin member, Chu Yunfan directly entered a top-class private room.

Although it's called a private room, it's actually a small palace, complete with pavilions, terraces, artificial hills, flowing water, flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

The table was laden with spiritual teas and fruits, as well as fine wines and meats, for guests to enjoy as they pleased.

As for the remaining singers and dancers, upon seeing the four beauties known for their stunning beauty, they felt ashamed of themselves and left the private room on their own.

With a resounding thud of the gavel, the auction officially began.

At first, the items auctioned were treasures needed by low-level cultivators, so Chu Yunfan didn't pay any attention to them. He just lay there, enjoying the service from Chen Yu and Luo Yan.

Of course, apart from Chu Yunfan, the other VIPs in the private rooms also showed no interest in the auction items at the beginning.

Only the ordinary auctioneers in the downstairs hall were fiercely bidding against each other.

This situation changed completely when Chu Yunfan's pills were put up for auction.

"Next up for auction is a top-grade Transformation Pill, with a starting price of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

As the words fell, an ordinary medicine bottle appeared on the auction stage.

However, the people at the auction house were completely abuzz because of this ordinary bottle of pills.

Because they had all heard those words.

"A top-grade Transformation Pill!"

The highest grade Transformation Pill represents a 50% increase in the probability of breaking through to the Martial Grandmaster realm.

For a genius like Chu Yunfan, this probability is meaningless.

However, for ordinary cultivators, that is their lifelong hope.

"I'll offer 15,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

"I'll pay 20,000!"

"Thirty thousand!"

……

Soon, the price of this top-grade Transformation Pill was pushed up to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The price of a normal, ordinary Huayuan Pill is only 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This demonstrates the allure of top-grade elixirs.

Chu Yunfan was naturally awakened by the enthusiasm of the auctioneers.

"I never imagined that top-grade pills could be so profitable."

"One pill costs 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. If I refined several thousand top-grade pills before, wouldn't that be several hundred million low-grade spirit stones?"

After a rough calculation, Chu Yunfan was immediately shocked by the number.

When did it become so easy to make hundreds of millions of spirit stones?

However, what surprised Chu Yunfan even more was yet to come.

While the auctioneers in the hall were arguing fiercely...

From one of the private rooms, a voice rang out:

"Half a million!"

The auction house fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

This price is beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

Thus, Chu Yunfan's first top-grade pill was sold for 500,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Just as the auctioneers were becoming increasingly disappointed...

The auctioneer called out again:

"Next up is another top-grade Transformation Pill, starting at 11,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the auction hall erupted in excitement again, and bids were immediately placed:

"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the person who had made the bid, their eyes filled with surprise.

Unexpectedly, this person raised the price to this level right from the start.

As a result, the vast majority of people simply gave up at the auction.

The remaining small group hesitated for a moment, then someone shouted first:

"One hundred and one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the number "110,000" was immediately drowned out by an even higher price.

Soon, the price of this top-grade Transformation Pill reached 200,000.

Then, from one of the private rooms, the voice of "500,000" was heard again.

This top-grade Transformation Pill was once again out of reach of ordinary auctioneers.

Both of the top-grade Transformation Pills were snatched away by the people in the private room.

Those in the hall below dared not speak out against their anger.

After all, the people in the private room are either rich or powerful, and are not people that ordinary people can afford to offend, lest they say something that will cause trouble.

After the two top-grade Transformation Pills had stirred up the crowd's emotions, the fat man was quite cunning. Instead of continuing to auction off top-grade Transformation Pills, he switched to another type of pill.

"The Supreme Spirit Essence Pill can rapidly enhance the cultivation level of a Martial Master without any side effects."

Nine pills per bottle, starting bid: 30,000 low-grade spirit stones!

"What? Another top-grade pill, and a whole bottle of it!"

As soon as the auction manager spoke, someone immediately shouted out excitedly.

However, there weren't many bidders this time, and the auction was rather quiet.

For many ordinary cultivators, they only care whether the pills can improve their cultivation level, not whether the pills are of the highest quality or have any impurities.

Of course, it's not that they don't care, but top-grade pills are too expensive, and for them, they don't have the cost-effectiveness.

However, while ordinary cultivators didn't care, the important figures in the private room began to vie for this bottle of top-grade Spirit Essence Pill.

After all, which family doesn't have a few good-for-nothing spoiled brats who need top-grade pills to improve their cultivation?
