The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 27 The Auction Reopens

Baicao Pavilion is about to auction a perfect-grade Soul Condensation Breakthrough Pill!

This pill not only increases the chance of breaking through to the Soul Platform Realm by 50%, but it also contains absolutely no poison.

The news caused an uproar throughout the capital.

Whether they were powerful and influential families or lone cultivators from the martial world, they all fell into a state of near frenzy because of the appearance of this elixir.

It is important to understand that every leap across a major realm is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, fraught with peril.

In particular, breaking through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Soul Platform Realm requires not only the accumulation of spiritual power, but also a qualitative change in the level of life.

This is the most crucial step for an ordinary martial artist to become a true powerhouse.

Once you cross that threshold, you will live for three hundred years, your divine sense will be released, you will briefly fly through the air, and you will instantly become a person of high status in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

If one cannot overcome this hurdle, even the most powerful Spirit Sea Realm cultivator will only live for a little over a hundred years.

A hundred years from now, it will just be a handful of dust.

In the capital, countless old monsters who have been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm for decades dare not take that step because of their declining blood and energy and restless souls.

The appearance of this pill is nothing short of...

A life-extending elixir.

……

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, in the study.

The atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Lin Ruofu sat upright in his armchair, clutching a newly delivered intelligence report tightly in his hand. His usually expressionless face now revealed an undisguised greed.

"Perfect-grade Soul Condensation Breakthrough Pill... 50% chance..."

Lin Ruofu murmured softly, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

As the Prime Minister of the Great Yan Dynasty and a Heavenly Origin Realm expert at the very top of the pyramid, he understood the value of this pill better than anyone else.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, the division of martial arts realms was extremely strict and hierarchical.

The Heavenly Origin Realm is a terrifying existence that can communicate with the primordial energy of heaven and earth and mobilize overwhelming forces.

He himself, the old eunuch in the palace, or the general in the army were all in this situation.

However, experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm are the pillars of a nation and constitute a strategic deterrent.

Its deterrent power is immense; it should not be drawn lightly.

Once a Tianyuan Realm expert intervenes, it often means a fight to the death, and may even trigger national turmoil and a complete reshuffling of power.

Therefore, in most battles and contests, experts at the Heavenly Origin Realm will not easily make a move.

Below the Heavenly Origin Realm, the Soul Platform Realm is the absolute ceiling of combat power!

A Soul Platform expert possesses spiritual power that can be solidified from liquid, and has keen divine sense. Whether it is assassination, protection, or suppression, they are the sharpest blade.

It can be said that in the current Great Yan Dynasty, 80% to 90% of the thorny problems can be easily solved by sending out a Soul Platform Realm expert.

A family with a Soul Platform Realm expert in charge can be considered a first-class family.

If one possesses several Soul Platform experts... then that would be a colossal entity capable of holding a high position in the imperial court.

"It's a pity that Li Tian, ​​that good-for-nothing, suffered a crushing defeat at the Shen residence and was seriously injured. He won't be of any use for a while."

A shadow crossed Lin Ruofu's eyes.

Li Tian was a Soul Platform Realm assassin whom he had painstakingly trained with countless resources. Now that he was seriously injured, his high-end combat power was instantly stretched thin.

Even though the Lin family has more than one Soul Platform cultivator, the Lin family is large and has many places where it needs people.

High-end combat capabilities are still in short supply.

In the past, as long as the calendar was still there, it could act as a firefighter, but now that the calendar is useless, it is suddenly in dire straits.

and so……

"We must get our hands on this pill!"

Lin Ruofu clenched his fist, and the intelligence paper in his hand instantly turned into dust.

……

at the same time.

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Lu Tianxing of the Great Yan Dynasty was also not idle.

He stood with his hands behind his back by the window, listening to the report from the guards behind him.

Although his face showed no emotion, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"You mean, Su Qinghuan of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion has broken through to the Soul Platform Realm?"

Lu Tianxing spoke calmly.

The guard knelt on the ground and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"According to reports from our spies, on the day Su Qinghuan broke through, a powerful spiritual fluctuation was also detected within the Shen residence."

"But when she appeared in person today, her demeanor had undergone a complete transformation."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing turned around and slowly walked to the dragon table.

"It seems that the rumor that this pill came from that mysterious master is not unfounded."

As the ruler of a country, his perspective on issues differed from that of Lin Ruofu.

But ultimately, they all lead to the same goal.

While the royal family possesses profound resources and the strongest power in the Great Yan Dynasty, the Tianyuan Realm remains the stabilizing force.

Unless it is a critical moment of national subjugation or racial extinction, even the royal family cannot easily use it.

Normally, maintaining imperial rule and deterring villains from all sides mainly relies on the Imperial Guards and the Soul Platform Realm experts among the Dark Guards.

However, in recent years, as the Lin family's power has continued to expand, the royal family's advantage at the Soul Platform level has been gradually diminishing.

Especially that old fox Lin Ruofu, who secretly gathered many martial arts masters and even trained a death squad like Li Tian, ​​which put Lu Tianxing under considerable pressure.

"I am determined to obtain this elixir!"

A resolute glint flashed in Lu Tianxing's eyes.

"If we can add another Soul Platform Realm expert, the royal family's control over the capital will be greatly enhanced, and they will be able to better keep an eye on the Lin family."

"Even if they cannot be used by me, they must never fall into the hands of the Lin family!"

Thinking of this, Lu Tianxing gave the order in a deep voice.

"Order the Imperial Household Department to allocate funds from the treasury."

"Also, send Daban to Baicao Pavilion to sound out what that mysterious master has to say."

"If we can recruit this person into the palace, I... will not hesitate to bestow upon him a high-ranking official position and generous rewards!"

"yes!"

The guard received the order and vanished into the shadows in a flash.

Lu Tianxing gazed out the window at the turbulent sky.

"A single pill can stir up a storm in the capital."

"Third brother, you're getting more and more adept at using someone else's strength against them."

"I'd like to see how you intend to end this whole charade."

Clearly, Lu Tianxing shared the same guess as the Lin family, believing that the mysterious master had some connection with Lu Xuan, but was definitely not Lu Xuan himself.

……

Three days pass in the blink of an eye.

But for the major powers in the capital, these three days felt like three long years.

Countless eyes were fixed on Baicao Pavilion, and countless secret letters flew like snowflakes to every corner of the Great Yan Dynasty.

On the top floor of Baicao Pavilion, Su Qinghuan, dressed in a purple dress, exuded an even more ethereal aura than she had three days ago.

But at this moment, she was even more respectful to Lu Xuan than before.

"Master, the atmosphere in the capital these past few days has been extremely tense."

Su Qinghuan poured tea for Lu Xuan while speaking in a low voice.

He did resemble a servant somewhat.

It just goes to show, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be grateful."

"Not only the major families in the capital, but also the powerful families in the surrounding prefectures and counties have all been mobilized and are rushing here day and night."

"Tonight's auction will likely attract all the prominent forces in the entire Great Yan Dynasty."

At this point, Su Qinghuan's eyes showed both excitement and a hint of undisguised worry.
