Chapter 1515 - Breakthrough to the Heaven Gaze Realm
The competition reached its climax with the bid for the Thunderlight Stone soaring to two million astral crystals. One couldn't casually buy materials for forging immortal artifacts with astral crystals on some roadside stall. They could be found only in the outer world.
Liu Wuxie didn't know what the outer world looked like as he had never been there before. He knew it was a mysterious place, since it could give birth to immortal artifacts, and he even wondered if it had any connection to the celestial realm.
In the end, the Absolute Frost Palace bought the Thunderlight Stone for 2,300,000 astral crystals. While the Heavenly Dragon Sect had a large reserve of astral crystals, they had set a spending limit.
Just the Thunderlight Stone alone wasn't enough to forge an immortal artifact, and it still required other materials. Judging from how aggressively the Absolute Frost Palace had been bidding, they had likely gathered quite a bit of materials.
As item after item was auctioned off, Liu Wuxie grew increasingly impatient, eager for the Nine Cauldron Divine Pill to appear.
The kunpeng egg was bought by the Heavenly Dragon Sect with 2,800,000 astral crystals, causing an uproar.
After an endless wait and gnawing suspense, the auction finally reached the eighth item: the Imperial Extremity Ice, a rare material found only in the outer world.
The Absolute Frost Palace had given up on the other items after buying the Thunderlight Stone, and this meant that they didn't have many astral crystals left. The Nine Dragon Palace had bought the Southern Star Wood, and the various sects had a clear target.
It wasn't hard to tell that the Nine Dragon Palace was planning to forge a wood-attribute immortal artifact, and the one refined by the Absolute Frost Palace was of thunder-attribute. The Comet Temple also purchased one material before withdrawing from the competition, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect had purchased the Imperial Extremity Ice.
Among the eight materials needed to forge an immortal artifact, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had secured two on its own.
"This is a Nine Cauldron Divine Pill, entrusted to us by a nameless immortal with a starting bid of eight hundred thousand astral crystals," Elder Wu Hen said.
It turned out that the Nine Cauldron Divine Pill was refined by an immortal, and it instantly caused an uproar. Everyone initially thought that a Quasi-Immortal had forged it, and they hadn't expected it to be refined by an immortal. This meant that the pill would contain a trace of immortal runes.
