Supreme Lord of Towers

At this moment, above the auction stage, a remarkably exquisite wooden box was suspended, engraved with beautiful patterns.

This wooden box was precisely the one Ye Chen had previously used to store the Evil Exorcism Pill.

After Ye Chen handed over this wooden box to Venerable Qingfeng, he did not replace it but brought both the box and the Evil Exorcism Pill to the auction.

After all, if he had arbitrarily replaced this wooden box, it would have been disrespectful to Ye Chen.

"Miss, why does this wooden box look exactly like the one Ye Chen brought out last time?" Next to Shangguan Zitong, Zhu'er stood frozen to the spot, eyes wide open as if she'd seen a ghost.

A couple of days ago, Ye Chen had taken out an extremely exquisite wooden box, intending to give it to Zhu'er and even told her it contained the Evil Exorcism Pill.

However, Zhu'er did not believe Ye Chen's words at all, so she directly asked him to take it back.

And now, this wooden box, appearing above the auction stage, was exactly the same as the one Ye Chen had taken out yesterday, and it was also for storing the Evil Exorcism Pill!

This was too much of a coincidence.

"Could it be that Ye Chen can really refine the Evil Exorcism Pill?" Shangguan Zitong's expression froze instantly; her eyes were filled with an intense disbelief, as if she had encountered the most impossible thing in the world.

"Impossible, Miss. This is just a coincidence! Ye Chen has never even refined an elixir; how could he possibly refine the Evil Exorcism Pill?" Zhu'er's expression instantly calmed, a deep sense of mockery curling at her lips.

At the Celestial Flame Academy, Ye Chen had told Zhu'er he could refine the Evil Exorcism Pill and even asked her to wait a few days.

But how could Zhu'er believe Ye Chen's words?

It's known that the pill formula for the Evil Exorcism Pill has been lost since ancient times.

Let alone Ye Chen not knowing how to refine elixirs, even if he did, he couldn't possibly obtain the pill formula for the Evil Exorcism Pill.

Only a fool would believe Ye Chen could refine the Evil Exorcism Pill.

As for the exceedingly exquisite wooden box, it could be purchased in many places where many people would use such boxes to store elixirs.

So, it's perfectly normal for the box Ye Chen had taken out to look exactly like the one appearing on the auction stage.

It's purely a coincidence.

"True, I must have overthought it. Ah, if only Ye Chen really were an Alchemy Grandmaster." Shangguan Zitong couldn't help but sigh, a bitter smile spreading across her lips.

Like Zhu'er, she also thought it was merely a coincidence.

After all, the pill formula for the Evil Exorcism Pill had been lost for countless ages. Even the Alchemy Grandmasters of their Ziwei Sacred Land couldn't refine it.

And Ye Chen, being only sixteen or seventeen, even if he understood a bit about alchemy, it was absolutely impossible for him to refine the Evil Exorcism Pill.

In fact, she wished none of this was coincidental.

If Ye Chen could truly refine the Evil Exorcism Pill, his future would be limitless; he might even have a sliver of hope to become a legendary Pill God.

However, rationality told her this was absolutely impossible.

"Finally, the auction for the Evil Exorcism Pill is about to begin. With Zitong's financial resources, she should be able to bid on it successfully." In the Purple Gold VIP room, Ye Chen mused to himself.

In ancient times, the Evil Exorcism Pill, though renowned, did not require particularly expensive materials for refining.

Thus, its price was comparable to that of the Peiyuan Pill in ancient times.

As for today, its rarity is mainly because no one can refine it anymore in this era.

However, to ensure Shangguan Zitong could purchase this Evil Exorcism Pill smoothly, Ye Chen hadn't set the starting price too high, only one billion ordinary Spirit Stones.

With Shangguan Zitong's financial power, she could definitely afford it.

"Huh? It's actually the Evil Exorcism Pill. This elixir has been lost for countless ages and can't be found anywhere. How has it appeared here?" In the Celestial Treasure Palace, many cultivators couldn't help but exclaim.

Even the distinguished figures in the golden VIP rooms displayed deep shock in their eyes.

Although the Evil Exorcism Pill is far less useful than the Peiyuan Pill,

for those cultivators besieged by various evil qi, it is an absolute lifesaving divine medicine, something countless people dream of obtaining.

Unfortunately, like the Peiyuan Pill, the Evil Exorcism Pill has been lost for countless ages.

Even disciples from the Six Great Sacred Lands have no way to find this elixir when infected by evil qi.

And now, it has shockingly appeared at this auction, which is truly hard to believe.

"Could it be that the pill formula for the Evil Exorcism Pill has also been acquired by the Celestial Pill Pavilion?"

"It's quite possible. Otherwise, how could this Evil Exorcism Pill have been refined?" Many of the distinguished figures speculated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Evil Exorcism Pill is a unique item up for auction. Once sold, there will be no more, and the starting price is not high, merely one billion ordinary Spirit Stones. If you need it, please purchase it quickly," Fairy Lan Ling said with a smile.

"What? Only one billion ordinary Spirit Stones, how is that possible?"

"Could this Evil Exorcism Pill be fake or does the Celestial Pill Pavilion already possess the ability to refine it? Otherwise, it couldn't be sold for such a low price." Many cultivators trembled and whispered among themselves.

It's known that for those cultivators afflicted by evil qi, the Evil Exorcism Pill is the sole antidote.

Even if it cost them everything, they would be willing to purchase it.

Therefore, the starting price of one billion ordinary Spirit Stones is just too low.

This made everyone suspect it might be a trap.

"One billion and ten million Spirit Stones." At this moment, Shangguan Zitong suddenly spoke, her eyebrows filled with urgency.

She truly wanted to purchase this Evil Exorcism Pill, to prevent any unforeseen changes.

If this Evil Exorcism Pill is indeed the only one from the Celestial Pill Pavilion, missing out on it would mean never encountering it again in the future.

Thus, she resolved to buy this Evil Exorcism Pill, regardless of the cost.

"One billion and twenty million."

"One billion and thirty million."

...

Afterward, many distinguished figures in the golden VIP rooms also joined the bidding war.

Though they didn't need the Evil Exorcism Pill, if it were truly the only one, they could buy it and then sell it to those in need.

At that time, they would certainly make a significant profit.

Of course, they also doubted the authenticity of this Evil Exorcism Pill.

If it's genuine, why would the Celestial Pill Pavilion sell it at such a low price, which defied all logic?
