I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 250 - 14: The Demon Sect Wants to Bid on the Golden Yuan Pill? Over My Dead Body!
"Less than eight years."
Lin Chen spoke softly.
"Yes, in just eight short years... you have broken through to Core Formation."
Wang Changchun’s eyes carried a trace of emotion.
"In the history of the Changchun Sect, you should be the fastest disciple to make the breakthrough."
"By the way, what grade is the Golden Core you condensed?"
"Ninth grade."
Lin Chen said.
It was impossible for him to claim he had a Perfect Golden Core, so after careful consideration, he decided that a Ninth Grade Golden Core was the most appropriate.
This ensured his identity as a prodigy without being too astonishing.
"Ninth Grade Golden Core..."
Sect Leader Wang was still surprised, he nodded vigorously and said:
"Good, excellent! Indeed, heaven favors my Changchun Sect."
"Lin Chen, at such a young age, you have condensed a Ninth Grade Golden Core... achieving Nascent Soul in the future won’t be difficult!"
After a pause, he continued:
"However, in recent times, the war between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect continues to escalate. It’s uncertain when it will spread here..."
"Lin Chen, during this period, you should stay within the Changchun Sect for safety."
After listening, Lin Chen nodded and curiously asked:
"Sect Leader, is there a significant difference in strength between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect?"
"Why is our frontline always being suppressed..."
After listening, Sect Leader Wang sighed and said:
"This matter is not as simple as you think... If it were only the four sects of the Demon Sect, we wouldn’t be struggling so much."
"You just need to understand that this war is inevitable..."
Sect Leader Wang spoke ambiguously.
Lin Chen pondered after hearing this.
"An inevitable war, huh..."
...
The news of Lin Chen’s breakthrough to Golden Core caused quite a stir within the Changchun Sect.
Dozens of Elders came to congratulate him, but Lin Chen merely dismissed them one by one.
For him, Core Formation was not a big deal.
Cultivation continued as usual.
Until several days later, Lin Chen set off again for the Guangyuan Auction.
Over this period, Lin Chen visited once every month or two.
Mainly to supply Golden Yuan Pills, as well as collect Spirit Stones.
On this day, Lin Chen stayed in a private room as usual, watching the auction on stage.
"Next, is the moment you have all been waiting for, the Middle Grade Golden Yuan Pill, starting at fifty thousand Spirit Stones."
There was no need for the auctioneer on stage to hype the atmosphere; the cultivators below were already excited beyond measure.
Even though it wasn’t the first auction for Golden Yuan Pills, their allure to the forces in Yanlai Realm remained undiminished.
Especially, within the past few months.
The Xiao Family, Meng Family, Cai Family, and even the Royal Family of Yanlai Country each had a Core Formation Cultivator emerge.
After auctioning five Golden Yuan Pills, one Golden Core Cultivator appeared in the family of each of the four auction winners.
Such enormous profits prompted other smaller families in Yanlai Realm to eagerly hope for their chance.
In their eyes, after the major families feast and spend their Spirit Stones, there must be some leftovers for them, right?
"I’ll offer sixty thousand Spirit Stones."
"Seventy thousand Spirit Stones!"
"..."
"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
Soon, through rounds of bids, the price for the Golden Yuan Pill was driven above one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Meanwhile, from a private room on the second floor, a voice sounded.
"One hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones!"
When this price was called out, the entire auction fell silent.
One hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones was nearly the upper limit of the auction price.
But usually, it was slowly raised to one hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones.
This time, however, someone directly shouted one hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones, a first.
After this price was quoted, cultivators at the auction nearly all withdrew from bidding.
Many forces were privately speculating about the background of the bidder who called such a high price at once.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced towards the direction of the neighboring private room.
"According to Chairman Liu, the cultivators in that private room seem not to be from local forces?"
With the fame of Golden Yuan Pills, the reputation of Guangyuan Auction also grew rapidly.
Simultaneously, the bidding forces expanded from within Yanlai Realm to the entire Righteous Alliance range.
Including Purple Smoke Country and Fog Country, other countries’ cultivation forces also wanted a share and traveled miles to participate in the auction.
"Forces from outside Yanlai Realm, huh? But maybe that’s not a bad thing..."
Lin Chen murmured.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about who won the Golden Yuan Pill, just as long as it didn’t strengthen the Demon Sect forces.
Moreover, the more forces that come to bid, the more profit Lin Chen earns, so why not?
Soon, after the high price of one hundred forty thousand Spirit Stones was shouted.
The other cultivation forces within Yanlai Realm refrained from bidding.
And this mysterious force smoothly won the Golden Yuan Pill.
After the auction concluded, Lin Chen waited for a moment, then proceeded backstage to collect his Spirit Stones.
Upon reaching backstage, the mysterious force that won the Golden Yuan Pill hadn’t left yet.
The cultivator wore a mask, obscuring his features.
But those eyes seemed menacing, making it hard to stare directly.
At this moment, Chairman Liu was politely saying:
"Esteemed guest, would you like to break through here at Guangyuan Auction? We have two Core Formation senior protectors..."
Previously, the five major forces that won Golden Yuan Pills opted to break through at the auction to avoid accidents.
But this time, it was different.
This mysterious cultivator shook his head, his voice slightly raspy:
"No need, I’ll leave with the Golden Yuan Pill."
Though surprised, Chairman Liu nodded and handed over the Golden Yuan Pill.
After this mysterious cultivator left, Lin Chen and Chairman Liu completed their exchange, preemptively supplying Golden Yuan Pills for the next two auctions.
And he collected two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
...
Lin Chen didn’t linger much longer, and directly left Guangyuan Auction through the back door.
