War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“So this is the genius sectless cultivator who shocked the Supporting Fall Nation during the Southern Heaven Combat… What a promising young man!” Lian Zheng Xing, the Celestial King from the Moran Nation, said. Then, he shifted his eyes to Ling Jue Yun who was standing with the people from the East Ming Nation before he continued to say, “I wonder which one of you is stronger?”

It was obvious Lian Zheng Xing was trying to sow discord. Alas, his effort was destined to be futile.

Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun exchanged a glance, smiling at each other as though they were old friends. Contrary to Lian Zheng Xing’s expectations, there was no hostility between the two young men.

Huang Jia Long was surprised as well. He wondered if Duan Ling Tian was already acquainted with the genius sectless cultivator from the East Ming Nation.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun did not know each other. They had only met for the first time during the Imperial Auction of the Solitary Nation. However, they seemed to have a good impression of one another even though they had not spoken.

‘T-they’re acquainted?’ Liang Zheng Xing was rather flustered. He did not expect his attempt to sow discord would end up like this.

“City Governor Huang, you sent your son to retrieve the Profound Golden Pill earlier… The pill bottle he just handed to you… does it contain the Profound Golden Pill?” Hu Qing, the Celestial King from the East Ming Nation, asked as he looked at the pill bottle in Huang Yuan Fei’s hand with a solemn expression on his face.

“Yes.” Huang Yuan Fei nodded before he poured out the content of the pill bottle. A pill with a strong medicinal scent and unique glow sat in his palm.

“The Profound Golden Pill!” With just a glance, the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation could tell it was the Profound Golden Pill!

Lian Zheng Xing said urgently, “Since the Profound Golden Pill is here, we should stop wasting time… City Governor Huang, please state your starting bid…”

Hu Qing also looked at Huang Yuan Fei in anticipation.

“There’s no need to bid; both of you can directly state your best offer,” Huang Yuan Fei said with a smile. He was not worried the two parties would give up on the Profound Golden Pill. The pill was extremely important to the two nations, after all.

As soon as Huang Yuan Fei finished speaking, Lian Zheng Xing quickly said, “If that’s the case, I’ll start first… 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”

200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were the price of two ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons. It was also the limit that was given by the Emperor of the Moran Nation for the Golden Nematodes. Anything more than that was deemed unworthy by the emperor.

“300,000 prominent grade celestial crystals” Hu Qing did not hesitate to make his offer. He upped the price by another 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals as though they were just rocks.

“Elder Hu is really bold!” Lian Zheng Xing’s expression darkened when he heard Hu Qing’s offer. He gritted his teeth before he said, “310,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”

“400,000 prominent Celestial Crystals,” Hu Qing said tonelessly as his expression remained unchanged.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Lian Zheng Xing and the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation darkened even further. They did not expect Hu Qing would offer 400,000 prominent Celestial Crystals for the Profound Golden Pill without even blinking. Although the Profound Golden Pill was rare, it was not as though there was no Profound Golden Pill in the Profound Nether Mansion at all. Moreover, the price in the black market for a pill was only roughly around 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. The price rarely exceeded 300,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.

After several breaths, Huang Yuan Fei turned to look at Lian Zheng Xing, “Mister Lian, will you continue to make an offer?”

At this moment, the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation who had grown anxious cried out, “Uncle Lian!”

Lian Zheng Xing inhaled deeply before he said, “500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!” Then, he shifted his eyes to Hu Qing and said meaningfully, “Elder Hu, if you continue, I won’t be making another bid for the Profound Golden Pill… However, is it really worth it to spend more than 500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to buy a Profound Golden Pill for an outsider?”
