My Crazy Upgrade System

Chapter 278: Chapter 277: The Trash of Trash

To other sects, these Concentration Pills simply meant gaining five more Core Formation Stage experts. But for Yi Tianyun, it meant the birth of a whole new batch of Core Formation Stage experts! As long as he used his Eye of Investigation, the Pill Formula would become his.

He had the Alchemy Mastery skill, but that didn’t mean he knew every Pill Formula in existence. For instance, he wasn’t familiar with the one for refining this Concentration Pill. freewebnovel.cσ๓

’This Concentration Pill... I have to get it!’ A glint of desire flashed in Yi Tianyun’s eyes. This was the kind of Treasure he desperately needed right now.

Many people were getting restless, just as eager for the Concentration Pills. The Core Formation Stage might not be the pinnacle, but these pills could be used to train young disciples, helping them break through to the Core Formation Stage earlier and thus advance to higher realms faster!

"I’m sure everyone is very interested in these Concentration Pills. They are indeed Divine Pills for nurturing disciples, but Elixir Pills of this type are truly Rare." Li Ya was very pleased by their reactions. She smiled faintly and continued, "The bidding method for the Concentration Pills is standard; we will be using Jade Spirit Stones. If you don’t have enough Jade Spirit Stones at the time of payment, you can substitute with other Elixir Pills or weapons."

"Now, let the bidding commence! The starting bid for the Concentration Pills is five thousand Jade Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than five hundred Jade Spirit Stones! The bidding starts now!"

"Ten thousand Jade Spirit Stones!"

Yi Tianyun’s voice immediately rang out, shocking many people once again. Although they couldn’t see his face, they couldn’t help but look toward his room. The bidding had just started, and he had already raised the price to ten thousand Jade Spirit Stones. How was anyone else supposed to compete?

A hint of surprise showed in Li Ya’s eyes. She hadn’t expected Yi Tianyun to be interested in this item.

"Eleven thousand Jade Spirit Stones!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

Someone else immediately placed a bid, but the bidders were all from the VIP rooms. As the auction progressed, the prices became too expensive for the Cultivators sitting in the front rows. Only those in the VIP rooms had the qualifications to purchase these items.

"Fifteen thousand Jade Spirit Stones." Yi Tianyun didn’t want to waste words. If there was one thing he wasn’t short on right now, it was Jade Spirit Stones.

After killing so many Core Formation Stage experts, it went without saying that their wealth would last him a good while. He couldn’t say he was infinitely rich, but he could definitely pull out at least a hundred thousand Jade Spirit Stones. That’s why he had to have these Concentration Pills!

Raising the bid by another five thousand Jade Spirit Stones left many people speechless. Even if you were rich, casually raising the price by five thousand... wasn’t that a bit too much of a flex?

"Sixteen thousand Jade Spirit Stones!"

A guest in another VIP room called out another price, but they didn’t raise it by five thousand like Yi Tianyun. That kind of increment was still too steep for them.

"Twenty thousand Jade Spirit Stones!"

Yi Tianyun raised the price by another five thousand, treating the money as if it were nothing.

"Maniac!"

An angry curse came from that VIP room. How was anyone supposed to compete with bidding like that? Even if they could afford a higher price, continuing this way would be a huge loss. The five Concentration Pills were good, but if the price kept climbing, it just wouldn’t be worth it anymore.

"Twenty thousand Jade Spirit Stones, are there any higher bids?" Li Ya scanned the crowd. The price had been settled far too quickly. She had thought it would go higher, but it seemed many people were still rational. Pushing the price any further would make it a bad deal.

After a moment, no one else bid. Li Ya announced, "Congratulations to this friend, then. These five Concentration Pills are all his!"

After the matter was concluded, many couldn’t help but glance over. ’Where did such a wealthy person suddenly pop up from?’ The Concentration Pills were good, but not so good as to warrant such a fierce bidding war. Unless it was the Pill Formula for the Concentration Pill itself, it really wasn’t worth bidding any higher.

If it were the Pill Formula for the Concentration Pill, everyone would have gone crazy. The bidding would have absolutely skyrocketed! If five Concentration Pills could sell for this much, what about a Pill Formula that could produce them endlessly? The thought alone was terrifying. But generally, no one would sell a Pill Formula; it would be too much of a loss.

By holding onto the Pill Formula, you’d be the only one who could refine the pills, creating a continuous stream of income. Who wouldn’t want that? It was essentially a monopoly, and you could definitely drive the price even higher.

"Next up is the final Treasure of the auction!" Li Ya’s voice rose a few notches, drawing everyone’s attention. An object was carried onto the stage, and the red cloth covering it was quickly pulled away, revealing a Treasure before the crowd—it looked like a perfectly round crystal ball.

"This Treasure is called the Celestial Spirit Treasure. When worn, it can increase your cultivation speed by roughly thirty percent! This means that by cultivating with the Celestial Spirit Treasure, you are buying yourself more cultivation time!" Li Ya swept her gaze over the crowd and said, "I’m sure all you Cultivators understand what this means, don’t you? It means you can surpass others, becoming stronger, faster! And the benefits of the Celestial Spirit Treasure can be enjoyed even by experts at the Spirit Pill Stage!"

When this was announced, many were stunned, their eyes fixed on the Celestial Spirit Treasure. This was a truly rare item! A thirty percent boost to cultivation speed was an absolutely heaven-defying effect!

"Incredible! That... that has to be mine!"

"I have to get it too! It’s even effective for the Spirit Pill Stage! This has to be a high-grade Soul Artifact!"

"Don’t even try to compete with me! This old man is taking it!"

They were all intensely interested in this Treasure, each one feeling they absolutely had to have it.

Li Ya was very satisfied with their reactions. This was exactly the effect she wanted, as it would drive the price even higher.

"The Celestial Spirit Treasure’s grade is not high-grade Soul Artifact, but peak-grade Soul Artifact Level! You could say it’s even more Rare. The price will be a bit higher. The starting bid is fifty thousand Celestial Spirit Stones, with each increment no less than two thousand Jade Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin!"

This was the true final, ultimate Treasure—an item that could stir everyone’s desires.

"Sixty thousand Celestial Spirit Stones!"

"Damn it all, don’t anyone dare try to snatch this from me! Sixty-five thousand Celestial Spirit Stones!"

"Seventy thousand Celestial Spirit Stones! It’s mine!"

They were all going crazy, the price soaring relentlessly, even more frenzied than Yi Tianyun had been. However, as the price continued to climb, no bidding sounds came from Yi Tianyun’s VIP room.

This left many people somewhat disappointed. They had expected an even more intense competition, but it seemed Yi Tianyun had no intention of making a move.

In his VIP room, Yi Tianyun sipped his tea, looking down at the Celestial Spirit Treasure without a shred of interest. ’A thirty percent increase in cultivation speed? To me, that’s absolute garbage! Unless it boosts my cultivation speed by several dozen times, it’s meaningless.’

’I already have a cultivation Treasure that doubles my speed, though I rarely ever use it. Compared to that, this Celestial Spirit Treasure, with its meager thirty percent boost, is truly the trash of all trash.’
