Chapter 16 Breakthrough Pill
Following the fierce bidding for the longevity elixir, Master Ziyang brought out several more bottles of rare elixirs with different effects.
Among them is the "Spirit Nourishing Pill," which can nourish and strengthen the divine consciousness. This pill is beneficial for Nascent Soul cultivators to comprehend cultivation techniques, explore secret realms, and even engage in battles of divine consciousness. There is also the "Dragon Elephant Tempering Pill," which can temper the physical body and enhance qi and blood. It is a rare and precious medicine for cultivators who cultivate both physical and magical methods or those who need a strong physical body to cope with heavenly tribulations.
These two types of pills also sparked considerable competition, especially among several cultivators from the Seven Star Realm, who seemed to place particular emphasis on the "Spirit Nourishing Pill," bidding on several bottles in succession. Meanwhile, several powerful demon clan members and some human cultivators who clearly practiced body-refining techniques engaged in fierce bidding for the "Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Pill."
After observing for a moment, Wang Tianlong also decided to make a move. He successfully bid on a bottle of "Spirit Nourishing Pill" and a bottle of "Dragon Elephant Tempering Pill" for 320 and 400 high-grade spirit stones respectively, spending a total of 720 high-grade spirit stones.
He had his reasons for purchasing these pills. His cultivation techniques, the *Spirit Nourishing Technique* and the *Golden Body Technique*, were both obtained from the "One-Cut" system. The greatest advantage of these two techniques was their relatively low reliance on external resources, focusing more on gradual refinement and personal enlightenment. Therefore, their cultivation speed was quite considerable among techniques of the same level, allowing him, as a rogue cultivator, to hone both his spiritual consciousness and physical body to a remarkably high level.
However, every gain has its loss. The shortcomings of these two techniques are equally obvious: they are mediocre in power and lack strong accompanying secret techniques. The *Spirit Nourishing Technique*, besides the basic strengthening of divine sense and enhancement of perception range, only includes a secret technique called "Mental Thrust," which directly attacks the divine sense. While practical, it's not particularly profound. The *Golden Body Technique* is even purer, with almost no supernatural transformations; it merely makes the physical body exceptionally tough, incredibly strong, and resilient, comparable to a demonic beast of the same level, focusing primarily on "resilience."
"If these two cultivation techniques weren't so resource-intensive, I, a mere rogue cultivator, without Old Demon Han's heaven-defying little green bottle constantly supplying spiritual herbs, would probably have struggled to cultivate them to this level, so close to the late Nascent Soul stage," Wang Tianlong thought to himself. This was precisely why he cherished any external aids to his cultivation. While these pills wouldn't allow him to break through immediately, over time they would save considerable time and accelerate his progress.
As the auction progressed, the quality of the items up for auction steadily improved.
Master Ziyang then took out several pills specifically designed for mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. These included the "Heavenly Origin Pill," which purifies mana and consolidates cultivation, and the "Heavenly Splendor Pill," containing abundant spiritual power to help mid-stage cultivators break through minor bottlenecks. The appearance of these pills immediately attracted the attention of many mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators present. While the bidding wasn't as fierce as before, it was still quite intense, and ultimately, several mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators urgently needing to improve their cultivation or break through minor realms won the bids at considerable prices.
Wang Tianlong paid only slight attention to these pills and did not take any action. Although these pills were good, their effects were limited for a cultivator like him who had already reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and was only one step away from breaking through to the late stage. What he was truly waiting for was the opportunity that could help him take this crucial step.
After the last type of mid-stage Nascent Soul pill was auctioned off, Master Ziyang did not immediately announce the next item. Instead, he paused for a moment, a rare occurrence. His expression was solemn, and his gaze slowly swept across the entire room, lingering for several breaths on several cultivators with profound auras who had clearly reached the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm (including Wang Tianlong, Iron Ape King, and the other cultivators from the Seven Star Realm).
Master Ziyang took a deep breath and solemnly accepted a purple-gold jade box sealed with several spiritual talismans from the attendant. He carefully removed the talismans and opened the lid. Instantly, an indescribable and strange medicinal fragrance wafted out. This fragrance was not strong, yet it seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of a cultivator's nascent soul, causing their magical power to accelerate its circulation. It also carried a profound and unsettling Daoist aura that seemed capable of breaking through some invisible barrier!
Inside the jade box lay a pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, with iridescent rainbows swirling across its surface! Within the pill, a misty purple aura seemed to flow slowly, making it truly extraordinary!
"Fellow Daoists," Master Ziyang's voice carried an unprecedented solemnity, even with a hint of excitement, "Next, we will present the grand finale of this pill-making session, a breakthrough pill that countless Daoists stuck at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm have been dreaming of—"
His voice suddenly rose, carrying with crystal clarity to every corner of the hall: "Breaking Yuan Pill!"
These three words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of every Nascent Soul cultivator!
"This pill uses ten-thousand-year-old golden ginseng as its main ingredient, supplemented with hundreds of rare spiritual materials. It was created by three grandmasters of alchemy from Kunwu Mountain over nearly two hundred years, undergoing three furnace fires, before a single pill was miraculously formed!" Master Ziyang deliberately emphasized the word "one pill," his gaze sweeping across the entire room, noticing the sudden tension in the figures, and continued, "Its sole effect is to significantly increase the success rate of mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators breaking through the bottleneck of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm! Based on records and the phenomena observed upon its formation, this pill can increase the probability of breaking through by approximately 20%!"
A 20% chance of breaking through! Only one available!
The entire "Wen Dao Pavilion" hall instantly fell into an absolute silence! Even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.
Almost all mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, especially those who had been standing at the peak of the mid-stage and had been searching for a breakthrough opportunity for countless years, including Wang Tianlong, had an uncontrollable, almost insane, burning light in their eyes! Even some early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had their breathing become heavy, their eyes filled with shock and burning ambition for the future!
Late-stage Nascent Soul! That's the true pinnacle of existence in the human realm, the starting point for touching the threshold of ascension to the Spirit Realm! The difficulty of breaking through is greater than ascending to heaven! Countless exceptionally talented individuals spend their entire lives stuck at the peak of the mid-stage, dying with regret. A 20% increase in the success rate is already a heaven-defying treasure! And the fact that there's only one of its kind pushes its scarcity and preciousness to an unparalleled level! Its value cannot be measured by ordinary spirit stones!
Wang Tianlong's usually calm mind was now stirred by a raging storm. He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on the single, shimmering pill, his fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of his storage ring. He was determined to get this pill!
"The starting bid for this pill is 800 high-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 50 spirit stones higher!"
As soon as Master Ziyang finished speaking, the entire hall exploded like a powder keg, with bidding erupting instantly!
"Eight hundred and fifty yuan!" A hoarse voice rang out impatiently, belonging to an old man in gray robes with a withered face but an unusually sharp aura.
"Nine hundred dollars!" Almost without a pause, another cultivator shrouded in black robes coldly raised the price, his voice like the clash of metal.
"One thousand dollars!" The third bidder pushed the price directly to the one thousand dollar mark, his voice filled with unwavering determination.
The price soared like a runaway horse, breaking through the astonishing figure of one thousand high-grade spirit stones in just a few breaths! The atmosphere in the entire hall was so intense it was almost frozen, and countless eyes rapidly scanned the bidders.
Such fierce competition is inevitable! After all, this Breakthrough Pill is a heaven-defying elixir that can increase the chance of breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage by 20%, and it is a rare pill in the world! For any cultivator who is stuck at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage and whose path to the Great Dao is almost cut off, it is not just a treasure, but the only hope to reach a higher realm and continue the path of cultivation. It is a life-extending elixir worth fighting for with all one's might, even at any cost! Its value has long surpassed the ordinary scope of spirit stones.
