Chapter 1388: Nine Revolutions Heaven Stealing Pill

Swoosh!

With a sharp whoosh, flames surged forth. The fourth-phase Devouring Flame coiled around the Eradicator of Realms, and with a single casual swing, Ling Feng slashed out. The Heavenly Silkworm Sword Net instantly melted away like ice under the sun, reduced to nothing but cinders beneath the Devouring Flame.

At the same time, a domineering surge of monstrous force surged upward against the flow. Yuwen Changkong had no time to evade and was blasted backward dozens of steps. He stamped one foot heavily into the ground, driving it deep into the earth before he barely managed to steady himself.

"

Hiss!

"

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath rang out. Ling Feng had casually shattered a divine skill of the Void Heaven Hall with a single strike!

Even Fairy Qingping frowned slightly. She had been ready to intervene to stop Yuwen Changkong from making a grave mistake, yet she never expected that a mere outer sect disciple like Ling Feng would possess such strength.

Xu Xinghe, Li Fei, and the others, on the other hand, revealed faintly strange smiles.

Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength!

They had clearly seen it. The power Ling Feng used to drive Yuwen Changkong back was precisely the Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength!

Ling Feng had already held back. Otherwise, with Yuwen Changkong completely off guard, a full burst of Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength would have left him crippled even if he did not die.

"How is this possible?"

Yuwen Changkong stared at Ling Feng in disbelief. The Heavenly Silkworm Sword Net formed from his refined elemental force had been shattered by a casual swing of the opponent's sword.

That flame was strange!

And that brute force. How could it be this terrifying?

"I am giving you that move for free. If you have the ability to win the Yin-Yang Soul Jade at the auction, I will admit defeat once."

Ling Feng gave a disdainful smile, withdrew the Eradicator of Realms, then turned and walked toward the high platform without sparing Yuwen Changkong another glance.

At Ling Feng's calm and indifferent manner, everyone present felt their expressions change.

This Ling Feng truly did not take someone like Yuwen Changkong seriously at all!

From that single strike just now, it was obvious that Yuwen Changkong had been firmly suppressed!

This outer sect disciple was truly formidable!

What they did not know was that Ling Feng had deliberately used Yuwen Changkong to build momentum for himself. In doing so, he had quietly raised the stakes of the auction.

Yuwen Changkong, having been used without realizing it, was left seething with anger. He swore to win the Yin-Yang Soul Jade no matter what, just to recover his pride.

Yu Qingping fixed her gaze on Ling Feng's retreating figure. A trace of surprise flickered in her phoenix eyes before she turned to Yuwen Changkong and said coldly, "Yuwen Changkong, do not forget that you came here representing Senior Brother Qin. Acting so impulsively, are you trying to drag his reputation through the mud?"

"I failed to think it through."

Yuwen Changkong clenched his fists tightly. After being rebuked by Yu Qingping, he looked like a rooster that had lost a fight, with none of his earlier arrogance remaining.

This small disturbance quickly subsided. Everyone had come for the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. Since Ling Feng was unharmed, the auction naturally proceeded as scheduled.

Still, an auction that featured only a single item was rare.

Ling Feng walked to the center of the platform, placed the Yin-Yang Soul Jade on the table, and said in a clear voice, "Senior brothers and elders, I believe everyone knows what is being auctioned today, so I will not waste words."

"That is right. This Yin-Yang Soul Jade is beyond my ability to safeguard, so I am putting it up for public auction. Everyone may compete fairly. Contribution points are acceptable, heavenly treasures are acceptable, and divine weapons are acceptable as well. Whoever offers the most valuable item will exchange with me for the Yin-Yang Soul Jade."

After speaking, Ling Feng raised his head and swept his gaze across the crowd. "All right. You may begin bidding!"

The moment Ling Feng finished speaking, Lin Mu jumped out and burst into loud laughter. "Since everyone wants the Yin-Yang Soul Jade, I, Lin Mu, might as well join the fun. Brother Ling, I have a high-tier sacred artifact here. What do you think?"

"Damn it!"

"Fuck!"

"To hell with this!"

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As soon as Lin Mu spoke, curses erupted from the crowd. Starting the bidding with a high-tier sacred artifact was an obvious attempt to jack up the price!

What a scoundrel!

Ling Feng felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead. Lin Mu was being ruthless. In an instant, quite a few people turned green with envy and anger and stormed off.

This auction was becoming impossible to carry out normally.

Still, as valuable as a high-tier sacred artifact was, it was far from the true limit of the Yin-Yang Soul Jade's worth. Lin Mu's move merely accelerated the pace of the auction.

Those elders and inner sect elites with real resources remained completely unmoved.

"What is a high-tier sacred artifact worth? I offer a sacred-tier art!"

Yuwen Changkong clenched his teeth and laid bare his trump card. Exchanging a sacred-tier art for the Yin-Yang Soul Jade could hardly be called a loss. Cultivation arts could be copied, but the Yin-Yang Soul Jade provided long term benefits that subtly transformed one's potential.

"A sacred-tier art, plus ten thousand contribution points."

At last, an elder spoke up. Most inner sect elders were stuck at the peak of the Human Emperor realm. With the help of the Yin-Yang Soul Jade, they stood a good chance of breaking through to the Great Emperor realm.

Once an elder reached the Great Emperor realm, their status and worth would be completely different. The price of a sacred-tier cultivation art was something they were willing to bear.

From the very start, the competition was fiercely intense. Yuwen Changkong felt enormous pressure. After raising his bid three times in a row, he could only look helplessly toward Fairy Qingping. From this point on, only she could continue competing.

Lin Mu, in particular, kept butting in with jokes and deliberate provocations, driving the prices higher and higher. By now, the treasures being offered already exceeded the actual value of the Yin-Yang Soul Jade itself.

"One sacred-tier art, one king-tier divine skill, and twenty thousand contribution points!"

At last, a golden-robed elder took a deep breath and announced loudly, "This is the absolute limit of what I can afford!"

By this point, most of the disciples who had joined the bidding had already given up. The contest had become a struggle purely between inner sect elders.

After all, disciples were still disciples. When it came to wealth and resources, they could not compare with elders.

None of the Ten Young Emperors were present that day either.

What was strange was that Fairy Qingping had joined in with several bids at the beginning. Later, after carefully examining the Yin-Yang Soul Jade a few times, she frowned and stopped bidding altogether, as if she had fallen into deep thought.

The other elders weighed their options and also chose to withdraw. Pushing the price any higher would be foolish.

On the platform, Ling Feng nodded slightly. Even without its spirit core, the Yin-Yang Soul Jade could still be exchanged for so many valuable items. He was already quite satisfied.

He cast a faintly mocking glance at Yuwen Changkong, then raised his voice and said, "Very well. If no one else wishes to bid, then the Yin-Yang Soul Jade will go to..."

"Damn it!"

Seeing the contempt in Ling Feng's eyes, Yuwen Changkong trembled with rage. He gritted his teeth and looked at Fairy Qingping. When he saw that she had no intention of continuing the competition, he stomped his foot and shouted, "I offer one Nine Revolutions Heaven Stealing Pill!"
