Chapter 1258 - Luring the Enemies Out
"One million five hundred thousand astral stones!" someone shouted, raising the bid even higher. The auction-like frenzy showed no signs of stopping. At that level, astral stones held little value for cultivators at the high stages of the Primal Origin Realm. What truly mattered was the immortal aura in the soup — drinking it would not only refine their bodies but also forge a faint connection to the celestial realm.
"Not for sale," Liu Wuxie said flatly. Without hesitation, he split the soup into three portions and handed them to He Yingwu and Xiao Luo.
"Drink," he commanded, raising his own bowl and downing it in one gulp.
Xiao Luo had been waiting impatiently. She drained her portion in one breath, savoring every drop. He Yingwu didn't even bother to taste; he tilted the bowl back and swallowed it all at once.
A marvelous sensation burst through their bodies, immediate and undeniable.
Cracking sounds echoed, resembling the breaking of eggshells. Xiao Luo successfully broke through to the fourth-level Transcendent Realm, and He Yingwu advanced to the third-level Origin Conversion Realm.
Though Liu Wuxie's cultivation didn't change, he still gained something from it. A faint golden glow enveloped the Heavenly Dao Book.
"What a waste!" The high-level Primal Origin Realm experts wore bitter expressions, but none dared move inside the Heavenly Gale Pavilion. Had they acted earlier, they might have snatched the soup; now that the trio had drunk it, killing them offered nothing.
Special means created the food; no longer ordinary fare, it manifested from laws. The moment it entered the stomach, the body absorbed it completely.
Ignoring the venomous glares from the surroundings, Liu Wuxie rose to his feet and led his companions downstairs.
"Master, those people didn't go far," Xiao Luo whispered after they descended from the pavilion.
"Don't bother with them!" Liu Wuxie said and quickened his pace. Xiao Luo and He Yingwu followed him, and together they headed for the outskirts of Mount Dragon City.
