Chapter 415: Divine Firmament’s Auction!

The various Sages heaved a sigh of relief as they saw Hidden Shadow tied up tightly by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

At last, that evil bastard has been captured!

The various sacred grounds knew how great a threat the Evil Spirit Sect was. Unfortunately, the Evil Spirit Sect had been hiding in secret, being cautious and keeping a low profile. Therefore, even though the various sacred grounds have been trying to annihilate the Evil Spirit Sect, the effects were not obvious.

Unexpectedly, a True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect had come to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to assassinate Shen Tian.

Such bold actions made them could not help but be on guard!

It was a bad sign!

The Evil Spirit Sect had been around for a long time, so no one knew just how powerful it was!

However, just one thing was beyond no doubt—if the Evil Spirit Sect started a war, it would be a catastrophe.

No sacred grounds could stay out of it, and the whole five regions would be plunged into an abyss of misery!

Meanwhile, from what Hidden Shadow had said, the Evil Spirit army would attack the five regions shortly after.

Sages from the various sacred grounds could not help but worry.

“A great calamity is about to befall!”

The heavenly aura around the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader swayed slightly. “The Evil Spirit Sect’s True Sage has been oppressed, so the Saint Inauguration Ceremony will be held as per schedule.”

The various Sages suppressed their worries and looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

Seeing the unfathomable Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, the Sages could not help but exclaim from the bottom of their heart, “It’s all due to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader burning his core essence that we could capture the Evil Spirit Sect’s True Sage. We’re deeply ashamed.”

Everyone was shocked by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s strength. Although he had only been a Sage for 1,000 years, his ability was unfathomable. Many older Sages were forced to admit with regret their inferiority.

If not for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader trapping Hidden Shadow, no one else present would be able to stop him as he had the speed which surpassed even most Great Sages.

By then, it would be a huge loss of face for the Sages!

Not to mention Hidden Shadow was a potential danger—he would become the various sacred grounds’ nightmare if he escaped.

Even a Sage would have sleepless nights if a Six Tribulation True Sage from the Evil Spirit Sect with such powerful stealth abilities targeted them.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed as he spoke indifferently. “Tian’er is my disciple and also the Saint of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

“I won’t let those that dare harm the Saint go even if I consume all my core essence!

“At the same time, I also have the responsibility to protect every disciple in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

“As long as those Evil Spirit scoundrels dare to harm my sect’s disciples, I will definitely fight until my last breath!

“As long as Divine Firmament exists, our noble spirit is imperishable!”

As long as Divine Firmament exists, our noble spirit is imperishable!

The other sacred grounds’ prodigies were astonished and then turned envious.

“As long as Divine Firmament exists, their noble spirit is imperishable! Such awe-spiring words!”

“That’s the Divine Firmament Saint’s Master? How admirable!”

“He really cares for his disciples, protecting them even at the cost of consuming all of his core essence!”

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is so lucky to have such a sacred leader!”

“Look at our sacred leader, every day thinking of all kinds of ways to collect fees for teaching us. They can’t be compared!”

“Yes, my younger sister is also at the age of cultivating. I must think of a way for her to enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground since there’ll be someone backing her up!”

“That’s right, if the world really plunges into chaos, we’ll have another route of retreat with someone in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.”

At that time, countless prodigies could not help but stare at their sacred leaders with resentment.

Their stares were like saying, “Just look at how the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is!”

The various sacred grounds’ sacred leaders’ mouths twitched as they were in an unfavorable situation. They could predict that the pool of potential cultivators joining their sacred grounds might decrease for a long time in the future!

Azure Lotus pursed his lips.

Junior Brother, that sly fox is doing it again!

How could Azure Lotus not know what the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was thinking? It was just the routine chicken soup for their sacred ground’s disciples.

More importantly, the core target was to earn brownie points with Shen Tian!

He had obviously succeeded.

Shen Tian was touched, so he took out two gold-lacquered jade bottles and handed them to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

“Master, here are 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water to recover the core essence that you have expended!”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed slightly as he replied, “Thank you, but I am alright. I can recover after resting for a few days, so leave such precious elixirs for yourself!”

Shen Tian bowed and said, “Master, you’ve consumed a large amount of core essence to fight that Evil Spirit scoundrel so that you could protect me. My cultivation level is still too low, so I am unable to help much. Master, please do not refuse!”

“Tian’er, I really don’t need it!”

“Master, please accept it!”

“Tian’er, leave such a high grade of restorative elixir for yourself!”

“Master, I still have a lot of it, so you don’t need to worry!”

I still have a lot of it…

Those three rejections and three persuasion attempts made the present Sages turn green with envy.

These were 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid and Triple Light Divine Water!

Although the Nirvana Holy Liquid’s effects were slightly poorer, its large quantity was enough to make up for the quality!

One would be able to restore their core essence quite a few times with 50 liters of Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Not to mention there was still the more precious Triple Light Divine Water—that was the supreme treasure universally known for its healing effects!

Such a supreme treasure was useful to even Sages and could heal Dao injuries!

If it appeared elsewhere, countless mighty figures would fight over it!

The various sacred leaders felt jealous.

Why are others’ Saints so wealthy?

They then took a look at their own Saints, and those Sages could not help but shake their heads!

Sigh… Comparisons are odious!

Why are they so poor? How could they cultivate without money!?

Azure Lotus had already turned green with envy.

Even Azure Lotus knew that compared to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, his ability to feed others chicken soup and gain brownie points paled in comparison.

The old Taoist priest said pitifully, “Martial Nephew, I have also contributed greatly to capturing that Evil Spirit scoundrel! He was indeed quite powerful. I have consumed a large amount of Spirit Qi to suppress him as he crazily struggled. It’s extremely tiring. Could you give me like a dozen Sky-Mending Pills to recover!”

The crowd, “…”

As expected of Azure Lotus, his thick skin was unmatched!

Consumed a large amount of Spirit Qi?

Did you forget that you had just hit him from behind with your staff?

How did you use so much Spirit Qi?

Is it possible that your staff was not hard enough and broke in the process?

Even so, you’re going too far!

Shen Tian was filled with helplessness as he was caught between laughter and tears. “Martial Uncle, please don’t joke around. You took care of him with just one strike of your staff. Why is it that from what you said, it seems like you’ve undergone an intense battle?”

Azure Lotus’ face turned red, but he quickly covered it up. “I have internal injuries, so it’s not obvious.

“Anyway, I’m injured. If I don’t have the Sky-Mending Pill to heal me, I’ll most probably die shortly. Do you bear to see me—”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader could not bear listening, so he directly used his lightning chains to bind Azure Lotus and brought him away!

“Junior Brother, wait! I still have more to say! Martial Nephew, how about… just nine. This is fine too!

“Eight, seven, six, even five is alright! Mhmmm—”

The Mixed Divine Lightning gathered to form the shape of a rag and was stuffed into Azure Lotus’ mouth.

Azure Lotus’ hair stood up, and his incessant nonsense also stopped, so everything returned to peace and silence.

Looking at Azure Lotus being dragged away, the numerous Divine Firmament elders heaved a sigh of relief.

Yeap, good job Sacred Leader!

That guy should not continue speaking. It’s simply too embarrassing!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has a reputation to uphold!

After dragging Azure Lotus to one side, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader appeared beside Shen Tian to protect him.

Shen Tian put away his Lotus Thearch Cauldron and passed 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills from within to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.

“Master, I dedicate these 10 Sky-Mending Pills to the sacred ground.”

As the saying went, “A man’s wealth is his own ruin by causing others’ greed”.

Shen Tian was aware of this. He would definitely be targeted if he left all the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills on him as many people had seen him making them.

Those Sages seemed as if they were not tempted on the surface, but they definitely would also want them. After all, they were pills that could attract the Mixed Lightning Heavenly Tribulation.

It was enough for many Sages to take the risk!

Hidden Shadow was an obvious example—even a Six Tribulation True Sage could not resist snatching them even at the cost of exposing his identity!

Thus, this showed it was definitely difficult for other Sages to resist such a temptation.

Also, Shen Tian couldn’t stay in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground for his whole life as he had to leave the sacred ground sooner or later.

It would then be easy for others to target him!

Although Shen Tian thought nothing of an ambush by just one or two low-level Sages, it was troublesome!

Fighting and killing were also quite tiring, and if he injured the person too heavily, it would be easy for others to hold a grudge against him.

Therefore, it was better for him to pass the Sky-Mending Pills to the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader in front of everyone else to save the trouble.

The less trouble, the better!

It was better to be safe than sorry in the cultivation world!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed vigorously as he spoke. “Tian’er, what do you think we should do with these pills?”

As a sly old fox, how could he not know Shen Tian’s considerations? Therefore, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not refuse but instead asked what Shen Tian’s opinion was.

Shen Tian touched his chin. “Master, I think we could auction the Sky-Mending Pills and obtain some Sage herbs or artifacts. The highest bidder would be able to obtain them.

“Also, if our sacred ground’s disciples or elders require the Sky-Mending Pill, I could also help refine it. Of course, they would need to provide the materials themselves.”

Only the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill would be effective, so it was useless to eat a second one!

As such, it was better to just directly auction off those pills in exchange for a large number of Sage herbs and artifacts.

Not only could the relationship between the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and other sacred grounds improve, but a large number of resources could also be obtained.

As long as there were enough herbs and Yang fire, Shen Tian could make even more Sky-Mending Pills!

It was not just a one-time thing—he could do that as long as the conditions allowed.

It was just refining Sky-Mending Pills!

Shen Tian could have as many of those pills as he wanted if he just spent some time!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed gently. “I am pleased that Tian’er has such thoughts.

“Such being the case, all the treasures exchanged by the Sky-Mending Pills will belong to you!”

Shen Tian was stunned, but he firmly replied, “Master, I am also a member of the sacred ground, so naturally, I would want to contribute. The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills are something I have given to the sacred ground, so the resources shall belong to the sacred ground. I cannot take them!

“I have always believed that one should not think of what the sacred ground has done for you, but instead, think of what you could do for the sacred ground!

“I am very happy to be able to contribute to the sacred ground. Master, please accept it.”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader shook his head and said, “Tian’er, you have spent much effort and resources to make the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, so the sacred ground cannot allow you to suffer such a loss. It’s decided already, so don’t refuse anymore!”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s tone was determined, and he did not give any chance for refusal.

Shen Tian had no other choice but to nod and agree.

Yeap, that’s right—he definitely had no other choice. How regretful~

Shortly after, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader left Saint Mountain with the 10 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian planned to have a rest. He had been in seclusion for so long and even refining pills for 12 days straight.

Shen Tian had used too much Yang fire, so he had to take a rest.

At the same time, he also had to familiarize himself with the procedures in preparation for the Saint Inauguration Ceremony tomorrow.

Most importantly, Shen Tian had to make another dozen of Blood God’s Son for safety!

Since everyone was saying that the Evil Spirit Sect would cause trouble and the five regions would become chaotic, safety was naturally the most important in such a situation.

He had to use his Yang fire and essence energy in everything.

Sigh… How tiring!

But there’s no other choice!

Shortly after, the news of the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader auctioning the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills had been widely spread.

Only by doing so would the various Sages know that Shen Tian had already given the pills to the sacred ground to prevent them from having any other thoughts.

Secondly, it was also to advertise the auction!

It would not be an auction if no mighty figures participated in it!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader told the disciples to prepare an area for the auction and made Shopkeeper Song the auctioneer.

Shopkeeper Song had been the Sky Spirit Pavilion’s shopkeeper in the past, so he was the most suitable one in hosting this auction.

Naturally, Shopkeeper Song was overwhelmed by the unexpected honor.

It was the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s auction, and the participants were mighty existences, such as the various sacred grounds’ Sacred Leaders and Grand Elders.

He went mad with joy as he would be able to host the auction.

“Sacred Leader, please don’t worry. I will definitely try my best!”

Shopkeeper Song smiled brightly. Being able to host the auction for Sages brought honor to his ancestors and was enough for him to brag about for 1,000 years!

Song family ancestors, it’s all thanks to Master Celestial that I am who I am today and able to bring honor to you!

If not for Shen Tian, Shopkeeper Song might still be a small shopkeeper in his Sky Spirit Pavilion. He would not have been able to enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground nor come in contact with such powerful existences!

Such things were something the previous him would not even dare to dream!

Thank you, Master Heavens. Thank you, Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

At the side, Liu Taiyi took out a jade bamboo slip and silently started recording.

“Shopkeeper Song receives paramount honor by praising Master Celestial, becoming the host of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s auction!”

Shopkeeper Song did not stop Liu Taiyi. He was glad to see it since it was paramount honor!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s auction this time was well-prepared. The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had even spread the effects of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to attract the Sages.

It was a pill that could strengthen the foundation of Sages, increase their cultivation level greatly, and had the effects of changing one’s destiny!

In that instant, countless powerful cultivators yearned for it!

However, most of them were doubtful as they thought that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was just bragging about the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill to increase its price.

After becoming Sages, their physique and foundation had already been determined, and almost no pills would be effective on them!

Not to mention a pill that could increase a Sage’s aptitude for enlightenment was simply unheard of.

If it was not for that pill actually attracting the lightning tribulation and emitting a pill fragrance to prove that it was a supreme pill with immeasurable value, they might not even be there.

Therefore, most Sages were still doubtful regarding the pill’s effects.

Also, the auction was held by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. If they did not participate, then there was a 50% chance that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader might visit them personally!

By then, if they sparred for seven days and nights, and it ended in a draw…

Since they were at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they had to give him some face!

The various Sages gathered and waited for the auction to begin.

Shopkeeper Song wore a red robe and walked onto the platform while radiating with vigor. “Welcome, Senior Sages from all corners of the land. I am Song Fugui, and I shall be the host for Divine Firmament’s auction today.

“The items that are to be auctioned today are 5 Chaotic Sky-Mending Pills, which our Divine Firmament Saint refined. They possess the miraculous effects of strengthening one’s foundation and increasing one’s aptitude for enlightenment!

“The starting price is 1 Sage herb or artifact!”

Shopkeeper Song was still extremely experienced. He was professional as he spoke in an orderly way even when facing the various Sages.

However, the Sages below got their bowels in an uproar.

“What!?”

“Why is it so expensive?”

“Although this pill is extraordinary, it’s not worth a Sage artifact!”

Everyone doubted the price as they did not believe that the pill could permanently strengthen the foundation of Sages. It was just too unbelievable.

If its effects were just temporary, then the value of that pill would not be worth a Sage artifact at all as a Sage artifact’s enhancement was permanent.

For a short while, there was actually silence for the first Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

However, a few still made a symbolic bid as they were at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. They still had to give the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader face!

“A Sage Dragon Orchid!”

“A Sage 10,000-Year Snake Fruit!”

Only a handful of people joined the auction, and the Jade Lake Sacred Leader obtained the first Sky-Mending Pill.

It was mainly because the Jade Lake Sacred Ground and Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were on good terms, so the Jade Lake Sacred Leader did not want for the auction to face awkward silence.

However, when the Jade Lake Sacred Leader held the pill in her hands, she was astounded!

The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill actually released an abundance of Spirit Qi which surged toward her body, making her emit divine light throughout.

The brilliant light was emitting dense energy and was extremely tempting. It was as if she could undergo an extraordinary transformation after eating that pill!

The Jade Lake Sacred Leader swallowed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill without hesitation. She sat down cross-legged with her eyes closed shut, and endless divine light shone from within her, making her seem heavenly.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s heavenly aura swayed slightly as he thought, That’s the effect that I wanted!

How could Tian’er’s pills be ordinary?

You foolish people, just wait and see. You’ll definitely regret it!

Hehehehehe!
