Chapter 4627 Refining the Divine Essence of Plants

Both sects have patriarchs who suffer from qi and blood deficiency. If they could consume the essence of herbs and plants, their lives could be extended.

Such a treasure would naturally not be given up by the major sects.

Upon hearing that Taihemen was bidding against them, the Tang family's higher-ups were immediately enraged, and countless cold gazes swept towards the Taihemen area.

"Six million!"

Tang Shun made another offer. He was the Supreme Elder of the Tang family, with an extremely high status, and one foot had already stepped into the half-step Earth Saint realm.

More importantly, his vital energy and blood were severely depleted, and his lifespan was running out. This bottle of herbal essence was extremely important to him.

"Seven million!"

Qi Yuan remained calm and continued to raise the price.

Seeing this, other sects withdrew from the competition.

Especially those top-tier sects and families, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to compete with these super sects for treasures.

The major sects are very cautious in their auctions. They need to reserve enough resources to purchase rare mineral resources, so they generally won't easily make a move on anything that isn't a top-tier treasure.

"Ten million!"

Before Tang Shun could make a bid, a voice came from the left front, and a powerful Earth Saint spoke up.

Countless eyes turned toward the source of the sound, where an old man in gray robes was seen gazing at the divine essence of plants and trees.

A putrid aura emanated from the old man's body, proving that his vital energy and blood were severely depleted. He could no longer consume treasures such as the essence of life. At most, within a few hundred years, his vital energy and blood would be completely exhausted. Even if he did not die, he would fall into a deep sleep.

This bottle of herbal essence, while not able to instantly restore him to his peak condition, can slow down the rate at which his internal energy and blood are depleted.

As long as he can break through his current realm, his internal energy and blood will surely be replenished once again.

Once one's Qi and blood are depleted, it becomes extremely difficult to break through obstacles unless one encounters a great opportunity.

Qi Yuan did not rush to make a bid, but instead looked at the sect leader and several elders.

The opponent is a powerful Earth Saint. Competing with him would undoubtedly offend an Earth Saint ancestor, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the Taihe Sect.

The Taihe Sect is now being targeted by five major forces. The opening of this magnificent auction has brought many reclusive ancient artifacts to the surface, making the situation in the Heavenly Realm even more unpredictable.

Although these Earth Saint powerhouses do not participate in the Heavenly Domain War, offending them could lead to them defecting to other sects. Therefore, all major sects treat these Earth Saint ancestors with caution.

"Fight!"

Mu Hongzhang simply uttered a single word.

With this bottle of herbal essence, Liu Wuxie will be able to break through to the eighth level of the Quasi-Saint realm, and his strength will undergo a tremendous change.

This time, Taihe Sect's goal is very clear: to bid on all the treasures that can improve cultivation, and strive to help Liu Wuxie reach the semi-saint realm before the Glorious Auction ends.

Currently, disciples from all the major sects are trying to break through to the Earth Saint Realm, and Liu Wuxie is far behind them.

To catch up, the only option is to acquire more treasures that can enhance one's cultivation level and narrow the gap between them.

Those top-tier sequences need the complete power of the Saint Source Rules to break through to the Earth Saint level. Things like the divine essence of plants and trees are of no use to them, so naturally they won't participate in the competition.

They intend to use their resources to purchase rare mineral resources.

"Ten million and a half!"

This time, Qi Yuan only increased the price by 500,000, as he was testing the attitude of this Earthly Saint Realm expert.

"That ignorant fool dares to compete with a powerful Earth Saint for treasure."

From the Tang family's side, bursts of cold laughter could be heard.

Although Tang Shun really wanted to bid on this bottle of herbal essence, he ultimately gave up due to the presence of a powerful Earth Saint.

The Tang family certainly didn't want to offend a powerful patriarch.

The gray-robed old man never expected that someone would dare to compete with him for the Divine Essence of Plants and Trees.

Could it be that because I've been in seclusion for so long, the outside world has forgotten my name?

"That person...that person seems to be Old Ghost Liang. Ten thousand years ago, he single-handedly slaughtered three cities."

Suddenly, cries of surprise rang out from several areas in the distance.

All the high-ranking members of Taihe Sect frowned immediately. They had naturally heard of Old Ghost Liang. Ten thousand years ago, because someone contradicted him, Old Ghost Liang actually slaughtered three cities.

Even the phrase "killing without restraint" is insufficient to describe the brutality of Old Ghost Liang.

"What does Taihe Sect want to do? How dare they snatch things from Old Ghost Liang? Aren't they afraid of Old Ghost Liang's revenge? Once they come out of seclusion, they definitely won't be going into seclusion for a while."

The other powerful figures from various sects were all discussing amongst themselves, and each of them looked at the Taihe Sect with amusement in their eyes.

"Eleven million!"

Old Liang continued to make offers.

He had been in seclusion for thousands of years and didn't have many resources. If they hadn't received news of a rare mineral resource, they wouldn't have chosen to come out of seclusion.

Before these powerful individuals go into seclusion, they leave spies in the outside world. If they encounter anything that can improve their cultivation, these spies will wake them up immediately.

Eleven million, though not Liang Laogui's limit, he still needed to set aside some resources to purchase rare mineral resources.

If all the money is used to buy medicinal herbs, then rare mineral resources will be missed.

"Ten million five hundred thousand!"

Qi Yuan made another offer.

As soon as Qi Yuan finished speaking, the scene erupted in uproar, and everyone was impressed by the power and courage of Taihe Sect.

"Taihe Sect is openly making an enemy of Senior Liang. After the auction, Senior Liang will definitely not let them off the hook."

Those forces hostile to Taihe Gate were gloating. They were hoping that Taihe Gate would clash with Liang Laogui so that they could reap the benefits.

It was probably because of Liang Laogui's intervention that all the other sects withdrew, leaving only Qi Yuan's bidding voice echoing for a long time.

"11.5 million for the first time!"

Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Luo Shijun raised his gavel and, after three bids, the bottle of herbal essence belonged to the Taihe Sect.

Old Ghost Liang's face was terribly gloomy. Although there were still treasures to enhance his blood essence, they were even more expensive, and with his current financial resources, he probably wouldn't be able to buy them.

Beside him sat many Earth Saint level experts, whose situation was similar to his own. They were depleted of qi and blood and urgently needed to purchase treasures to improve their qi and blood.

"Ten million, for the second time!"

"Ten million, the third time!"

"make a deal!"

The third bid came very quickly, and Taihemen ultimately bought the bottle of Herbal Essence for 11.5 million.

The moment the gavel fell, a crack appeared in the space in front of the auction house, and Luo Shijun threw the Divine Essence of Plants into the spatial rift.

In an instant, the space in front of Qi Yuan cracked open, and the divine essence of plants and trees automatically fell in front of him.

Qi Yuan had already prepared 15 million Saintly Mystic Crystals and threw them into the crack.

In front of each area is a small teleportation portal that can deliver treasures to the recipient immediately, avoiding the need for repeated trips.

Qi Yuan delivered the Divine Essence of Plants to the sect leader, returned to his seat, and continued to compete for the next item.

"Swallow it quickly!"

Mu Hongzhang handed the Divine Essence of Plants to Liu Wuxie, asking him to sit here so that it would be convenient for him to cultivate.

Ancestor Ke Rong immediately cast a restriction, severing all contact with the outside world. Even if Liu Wuxie's breakthrough caused a huge commotion, it would not affect others.

"it is good!"

Liu Wuxie didn't hesitate and immediately took the herbal essence and poured it into his mouth.

A terrifying essence of herbs and plants flowed down his throat and into his limbs and bones.

Every inch of the body's meridians and flesh, like a greedy worm, is frantically absorbing the essence of the plants and trees.

"What exquisite medicinal plants! In terms of life level, they are even higher than the life force decomposed from the Tree of Life."

Liu Wuxie said secretly.

Besides the essence of life, the most important element in the Divine Essence of Plants is the essence of plants, which can help cultivators improve their cultivation level.

Spending 11.5 million to raise one level of cultivation is very suitable for someone at the Quasi-Saint realm.

Normally, the price of this bottle of Herbal Essence would definitely continue to rise, but because of Liang Laogui's appearance, other sects dared not make a bid, ultimately allowing Taihe Sect to get a bargain.

For Taihe Sect, they certainly got a good deal. But for other sects, Taihe Sect has inadvertently offended a powerful Earth Saint, which is completely not worth it.

Whether it's worth it or not, no one can say for sure. If Taihemen thinks it's worth it, then it is.

The Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique was activated, and terrifying spiritual energy from heaven and earth instantly surged in from all directions.

The various sects vying for the next treasure quickly turned their gazes toward the Taihe Gate.

Although the commotion caused by Liu Wuxie's breakthrough was blocked by the restriction, his speed of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth could not be stopped.

"Liu Wuxie is refining the divine essence of plants!"

Disciples from various sects exclaimed in surprise.

In just a few years, Liu Wuxie rose from a Dao Integration Realm cultivator to a top-tier Quasi-Saint. This speed of breakthrough was comparable only to the top ranks of various sects.

"What an terrifying speed at which it absorbs the essence of heaven and earth! Even a half-saint realm cultivator wouldn't be able to do this!"

Many of the cultivators present were seeing Liu Wuxie for the first time; they had only heard of his great name. Seeing him today, they realized that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.

The disciples of the Tang family and the Nightfall royal family were filled with fighting spirit, eager to fight Liu Wuxie right now.

This is the Grand Auction House; fighting is prohibited here. You must wait until the auction is over.

Tang Junlin quietly took out a black token and infused it with an aura, seemingly to notify someone of something.

The same applies to the Nightfall Empire, the Yan family, the Gong family, and the Fu family.

These high-ranking members were secretly exchanging ideas. They had already guessed the Taihe Sect's intention: to use the Brilliant Auction House to elevate Liu Wuxie's cultivation to the Half-Saint realm.

The Taihe Sect did not participate in the bidding for the next few items, not because these treasures were bad, but because they were not very practical.

The emergence of rare mineral resources has made major sects more pragmatic. No matter how good a treasure is, they will abandon it if they don't need it for the time being, resulting in several treasures failing to sell at auction.

Liu Wuxie's aura grew stronger and stronger. The four patriarchs sitting to the side exchanged glances, and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.

"Have you noticed that Liu Wuxie's spiritual power is actually above ours? Could it be that his spiritual power has already surpassed the Earth Saint Realm?"

Ling Luochen said with a shocked expression.

Apart from Ye Tianhao, even his senior uncle was unaware that Liu Wuxie had refined the divine soul power of the Xuanji Ancestor.

Even a fraction of the divine soul power of an Ancestral Saint level being is enough to crush a Divine Soul level being.

"This kid has far more secrets than we thought. Hopefully, he'll mature quickly."

"Old Ancestor Ke Rong said with a sigh."
