"Tribulation Pill?"
Many disciples' eyes lit up.
The tribulation pill was something that Qin Shi had used when he was breaking through the fourth day of the third day. It was something that Kong Xianhui had helped him exchange for at the contribution house. However, this kind of thing was extremely rare. To be able to encounter one or two was considered fate.
"This Tribulation Pill is extraordinary. It was made by an Inner Area Pill King. It has five inscriptions and can resist five hundred thousand thunderclouds. The starting price is three thousand contribution points."
Lin Xing explained and raised the Tribulation Pill in her hand. Indeed, five mysterious inscriptions flashed across its surface.
Qin Shi was shocked again when he heard the last part of the introduction.
Inscriptions corresponded to the curse of the Devil Talisman. This meant that the value of this Tribulation Pill had reached the level of a Five Curses Devil Talisman. One had to know that his previous Tribulation Pill only had three inscriptions.
"Not bad."
Qin Shi thought to himself, but he still did not make a move.
The last Tribulation Pill was won by a late stage Six Heavens disciple with four thousand and five hundred contribution points. He should have touched the shackles of the Seven Heavens.
After that, a few more items were auctioned. Every single one of them was extremely precious and rare.
The atmosphere in the auction became more and more intense.
"The next item is the Ice Soul Freezing Pill."
Lin Xing waved her hand on the stage and a blue dragon pill fell slowly. "The Ice Soul Freezing Pill is obtained from a ten thousand meter cold pond. It is an extremely cold item and is extremely beneficial to the cultivation of the ice element. The starting price is three thousand and five hundred contribution points."
The moment the Ice Soul Freezing Pill appeared, Qin Shi's attention was attracted.
Thinking about it, ever since Qin Xuexin left, how long had it been since he had felt this cold attribute power?
The ice element was similar to the lightning element. They were both extremely rare elements in this world.
All these years, in Qin Shi's knowledge, only Qin Xue Xin had the ice element.
After hesitating for a while, he raised the number plate in his hand and prepared to bid for it. He wanted to give it to Qin Xue Xin as a gift. He really missed Qin Xue Xin.
"Three thousand and six hundred."
"Three thousand and seven hundred."
"41,000!"
In the beginning, the auction price kept rising, causing Qin Shi to frown slightly. He temporarily put down the number plate in his hand, but as the price gradually rose, it finally stopped at 5,000.
He smiled and raised his number plate. "Five thousand and one hundred!"
He immediately broke the situation on the field. Originally, there were only a few people competing for the Frost Soul Chilling Pill, and they were all from small forces. Seeing that Qin Shi spoke so leisurely, they didn't move.
Moreover, the ice attribute was very rare, so the value of the Frost Soul Chilling Pill was greatly reduced. After all, no matter how good an item was, if it couldn't be used, wouldn't it just be a decoration?
Not many people would be willing to spend five thousand contribution points to buy a decoration.
Lin Xing gave Qin Shi a meaningful look and smiled. Qin Shi's auctioning skills were very high. He called out three times, "Five thousand and thirteen times, this Frost Soul Chill Pill belongs to this young master."
Qin Shi smiled knowingly.
What followed was a very long process. During this process, there were about a hundred treasures that were neither too high nor too low.
Although each item was pretty good, it was not essential to Qin Shi. Thus, he did not make any more moves. Only when a few heatwaves suddenly surged beside his ears did he raise his spirits slightly.
Ling Yun's face was flushed, his eyes fixed on the stage, and he raised his number plate with trembling hands. "Two thousand five hundred contribution points!"
Qin Shi couldn't help but be surprised that Ling Yun made a move.
He looked up at the stage. In Lin Xing's hand, there was a spirit pill with three patterns. It was a spirit pill called "Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill".
Qin Shi rummaged through his memory. He remembered that Lin Xing had introduced this spirit pill to him previously. It seemed that this spirit pill could dispel hidden injuries, clear away internal heat, and have eye-catching effects.
He was very curious about what Ling Yun wanted this spirit pill for.
At this moment, a voice that wasn't very loud resounded in the field.
"Three thousand!"
Hearing this number, Qin Shi frowned slightly. For those who were able to participate in the competition, three thousand contribution points might not be much, but Qin Shi clearly knew that Ling Yun only had three thousand contribution points.
As expected, when the number of three thousand was heard, Ling Yun's expression changed. A trace of embarrassment and unwillingness flashed continuously.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had worked a little harder … If I had just a little more, even just a little, I would have been able to heal Hui Er's injuries." He bit his lower lip so hard that blood flowed out.
All of this was reflected in Qin Shi's eyes. After a moment of silence, he smiled slightly.
He looked around and saw that the spirit pill had already reached three thousand six hundred contribution points. Because of this, he shook the number plate in his hand. "Four thousand."
"Huh?"
There was a slight uproar in the field.
Four thousand had already far exceeded the price of a three-patterned spirit pill. After all, the five-patterned Tribulation Pill was only sold for four thousand five hundred. Moreover, other than the patterns, the effects of the Tribulation Pill were far better than the Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill.
"Four thousand going once."
"Four thousand going twice."
"Four thousand going thrice."
Lin Xing lightly tapped the small hammer in her hand and smiled at Qin Shi. "The auction of the Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill has ended. This gentleman here is its owner!"
Qin Shi stood up and smiled. Just as he sat down, a wave of heat came from beside him, causing him to turn around in shock.
He saw that Ling Yun's expression was strange and indescribable.
"Big … Big Brother, you are …!"
"Alright, you owe me this too. However, I really want to know, what kind of illness is Hui Er suffering from?
This Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill is mainly for maintenance, not for treatment, "Qin Shi said naturally as he patted Ling Yun's shoulder." Can you tell me your story? "
Perhaps it was because of the determination in Ling Yun's eyes and the mission he spoke of, but Qin Shi quite admired him.
Ling Yun clenched his fists tightly. He was not an ingrate. Even though he had no fate with Qin Shi, he had helped him so many times. He would remember it in his heart.
"Phew …!"
Ling Yun let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and smiled bitterly. "Actually, Hui Er is my childhood friend. Her real name is Mu Hui. We signed a marriage contract when we were very young. Our families were well-matched. Even though our families were not big, we still had some resources. That was why they sent us to the Realm of Chaos.
"After entering the Realm of Chaos, our relationship became like fish in water. We got closer and closer. We had originally decided to return to our families at the end of this year to discuss with them about holding a wedding.
"But half a year ago, Hui 'er and I were unfortunately attacked by a desolate beast when we were out on a mission. She was infected by the desolate beast's evil fire and fell seriously ill. In order to treat her, I expended all our savings over the years, but it was to no avail. Later, when news of this spread to both families, even the family gave up on her. However, I refused to give up. She is my lover, and I want to treat her."
"Actually, I don't know if this Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill can cure her. I just heard that this pill has a mild effect and can expel the evil fire. That's why I came here to try my luck."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi was surprised. It was the first time he had heard of the evil fire of a dire beast. He asked curiously, "What does this evil fire look like?"
"I don't know. It's a black fire. To be exact, it's not a fire, because it has no temperature. It's like a cloud. Ever since Hui Er was possessed by the black fire, she has been listless. She is always depressed, and sometimes she does things that are out of her control." Ling Yun trusted Qin Shi a lot, so he described Mu Hui's situation to him.
However, when Qin Shi heard this, his gaze turned solemn.
Black fire?
No temperature? Like a cloud?
A thought flashed through Qin Shi's mind. "Could it be demonic Qi?"
He rolled his eyes and said to Ling Yun, "After we finish here, take me to see Hui Er. I might know her condition, and I might be able to help you."
"Really?" Ling Yun was overjoyed.
Qin Shi nodded. "I'm not sure, but if it's really what I think, this Fan Leaf Wood Spirit Pill is useless. Just wait until we finish here."
"Okay!"
With hope, Ling Yun clenched his fists and prayed, "Hui Er, did you see that?
We've met our savior. You can be saved this time! "
Looking at Ling Yun's naive but determined look, Qin Shi couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems like you have to cure Hui Er no matter what. Otherwise, you're just torturing people. There's a fine line between hope and despair." Kong Hyun-hui smiled.
"Okay."
Qin Shi took a deep breath. He didn't want to see this young man with a mission be disappointed.
The auction continued for a long time. The items that appeared were more and more precious. There were even many top-grade famous weapons and Creation Martial Arts, which were rare treasures.
During this period, the Creation Group and the Mist Alliance fought with each other several times. Qin Shi did not make any moves. He did not want to be involved in this dispute. After all, he was not as rich as the two forces.
Just as he was silent for a long time, his expression suddenly froze. He was attracted by the three auction items on the stage.
Lin Xing raised her hand slightly, and three square black boxes appeared under the bead curtain.
These three boxes were very different from the previous auction items. They did not have any luster on them, and he could not even feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power.
However, it was not the three boxes that attracted Qin Shi's attention. Instead, it was the inside of the boxes. He realized that there was an indescribable force inside the boxes.
"Little fella, these three boxes are treasures. If you have the chance, take them." While Qin Shi was puzzled, the voice of the Blood Sorcerer came from the Explosive Flame Bead.
"Hmm?"
Qin Shi frowned. The Blood Sorcerer rarely took the initiative to talk to him. "You said that these three boxes are treasures?
What kind of treasure? "
"If I'm not wrong, these should be the Thunder Sealing Lock that has been lost for thousands of years."
"Thunder Sealing Lock?" Qin Shi was shocked.
"Yes, the Lightning-Sealing Lock itself isn't very useful. However, there is an extremely special space within it. That space is similar to the domain of a Domain Almighty. Most importantly, that space can seal the Thunder Calamity Seal."
After the Blood Sorcerer finished speaking, Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat.
