The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3485: Astonishing Value (Third Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Right away, a blue-robed fellow rose swiftly to his feet, gesturing with his palm, causing a blade to hover ahead of him. It radiated a piercing sharpness that sent shivers down the spines of the gathered warriors, nearly all at the Holy Ancestor Realm!
Song Ziqing gazed upon the sword, her eyes sparkling with thrill!
Ancient Artifacts, Absolute Weapons, Dao Artifacts, Emperor Artifacts... all split into nine levels!
The blade in front of them turned out to be a third-grade Emperor Artifact!
What an exceptional blade!
In this region, Emperor Artifacts aren't too rare, yet the majority rank as first or second-grade, making third-grade ones quite scarce!
This one outshines even the sword Song Ziqing wields herself!
With pride etched on his face, the blue-robed man declared, "My betrothal gift is this sword!"
Silence enveloped the whole hall in that instant.
Satisfaction lit up Song Ziqing's nod as she grinned, "Not bad. Does any other young master desire to take Shuhui as his wife?"
Ye Chen fixed his stare on Song Ziqing, his eyes turning icy, waves of killing intent rising within. The Divine Master of Refining God Peak was genuinely treating Jin Shuhui like mere merchandise in this auction!
Did they view Jin Shuhui as anything more than a thing?
Still, Ye Chen deemed the sword utterly ordinary.
After the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword gets mended, its rank ought to eclipse this one entirely, especially with the Blood Moon Power it harbors!
The Slaughter Sword, beginning around Dao Artifact tier, now likely outstrips this blade too, as its bindings loosen and it draws in external forces!
Should every seal on the Slaughter Sword shatter completely, it would without doubt eclipse even a nine-grade Emperor Artifact!
Ye Chen's eyes shifted to Jin Shuhui, who right then, thanks to the binding within her, saw her spiritual energy fully locked away. She couldn't fight back, couldn't utter a word; her body obeyed no will of hers, turning her into a marionette for anyone to control freely.
A shadow dulled Jin Shuhui's lovely gaze, brimming with hopelessness and sorrow.
By chance, she had arrived in the Upper Realm, only to be sheltered by Refining God Peak in the Outer Realm's Star Swirl Domain, which reshaped her existence. Deep thanks filled her for the sect, her master, the Divine Master, and all the elders plus fellow disciples...
To Jin Shuhui, Refining God Peak had become her true second home—she'd gladly lay down her life for it!
Yet...
After securing the Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power and staggering back to Refining God Peak in grave condition, instead of warmth and safeguarding, she met deceit and backstabbing!
The Divine Master, usually so gentle and approachable, now morphed into a fiend dragging her straight to the abyss!
Song Ziqing refused to mend Jin Shuhui's injuries; instead, exploiting her weakened state and helplessness, she triggered the Xuan Nu Restriction outright, then spread word of the auction gathering!
Jin Shuhui's spirit chilled to the bone, frozen solid; she refused to accept that to those she saw as kin, she amounted to nothing but a commodity swapped for gains...
Jin Shuhui's soul had withered; numb to the chaos unfolding nearby, she overlooked Ye Chen lurking in the shadows.
A cold glance from Song Ziqing met her, followed by a harsh murmur near Jin Shuhui’s ear, "Shuhui, don’t blame me; who asked you to bring such trouble to the sect?
Besides, had not the Refining God Peak taken you in back then, how could you stand your ground in the Outer Realm and the Upper Realm? Now is the time to repay the sect."
Those words drained the color from Jin Shuhui’s face; she shut her eyes gradually while a single tear traced down from her eye's edge.
Just then, a white-haired individual rose, clutching a ornate case, and announced, "I offer one hundred Saint Ancestor-level Void Origin Pills!"
The very next instant, he unveiled the case, unleashing a potent herbal scent that filled the mountaintop!
Shock widened every eye in the hall; even the once-smug blue-robed man shot a sour look at the white-haired bidder.
Void Origin Pills boost cultivation levels and suit even warriors in the late Holy Ancestor Realm, holding immense worth!
And this white-haired bidder tossed out a hundred in one go?
A hundred Void Origin Pills' worth dwarfed the blue-robed man's sword by far!
Reluctance burned in the blue-robed man's stare, but he merely huffed in disdain before resuming his seat.
Song Ziqing, meanwhile, brimmed with delight!
Excellent, outstanding—this auction gathering's rewards promised to shatter her hopes, kicking off with a bid of a hundred Void Origin Pills already?
With those pills in hand, wouldn't her cultivation jump at least one small realm boundary?
What's more...
Song Ziqing directed a hopeful look toward the brocade-clad youth, who lounged serenely, sipping his tea.
The Moon Soul Domain's young master remained inactive so far!
Should he take a shine to Jin Shuhui too, Refining God Peak could vault to new heights in a single bound!
"Two hundred Saint Ancestor-level Void Origin Pills!"
"Three stalks of Black Wind Grass that are ten thousand years old, plus ten Dragon Phoenix Hundred Spirit Pills!"
"Two hundred Saint Ancestor-level Void Origin Pills, plus one hundred Saint Ancestor-level Spirit Transformation Pills!"
Treasure vibes surged across the hall, until one bidder rose casually and stated, "One thousand Saint Ancestor-level Void Origin Pills."
Dead quiet gripped the entire hall at once!
A thousand Void Origin Pills—that's what he claimed?
Each Void Origin Pill fetches more than five million top-grade Xuanyuan Stones! For a thousand, that's fifty billion top-grade Xuanyuan Stones—who commands such riches?
But upon spotting the bidder, the crowd grasped this auction lay beyond their reach.
It was An Zaiyi who had voiced the offer!
An Zaiyi's power might be middling, but this event boiled down to clout and wealth!
The An family's foundations ran deep, their coffers unrivaled!
A grin crossed An Zaiyi's lips; Void Origin Pills, though rare, could be acquired, and fifty billion top-grade Xuanyuan Stones, while hefty for the An family, stayed feasible for him.
Right as An Zaiyi figured victory neared, a gravelly tone rang out across the hall.
"Two thousand Saint Ancestor-level Void Origin Pills."
Zhao Bin, previously quiet, finally uttered the bid.
All the while, his eyes narrowed, fixing a chilling, intimidating glare on An Zaiyi.
This Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power—he had to seize it!
A shudder ran through An Zaiyi; Zhao Bin was a death-defying lunatic! If pushed too far, he'd unleash everything against him...
After a brief pause, An Zaiyi sank back into his chair.
The Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power tempted greatly, yet survival mattered more. His family's guards outmatched Zhao Bin, but they might falter against Zhao Bin's eerie venom arts in a real clash.
With all assuming Zhao Bin would secure the prize, the stunning lady next to Zhan You ascended gracefully, facing Song Ziqing as she offered, "One True Extreme Pill."
Suddenly, Refining God Peak itself quivered faintly!
Not even Song Ziqing could mask the astonishment and joy flashing across her features!
The True Extreme Pill ranks as a half-step Heavenly Repairing Level elixir!
Such pills number scarcely any throughout the Star Swirl Domain!
Better yet, the True Extreme Pill elevates cultivation!
Securing one could propel her cultivation across multiple small realm steps!
Trading away elusive innate spiritual energy she couldn't claim or hold for a True Extreme Pill—this bargain screamed value, total value!
Above all, the Zhan family's heir had stepped in at last! Should Refining God Peak ally with the Zhan family, why worry about ascending to prominence?
