Chapter 0769: The Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill

The Stone Essence has finally appeared!
Huang Long’s eyes sparkled—this Stone Essence was something he must obtain at all costs!
“Everyone surely understands how precious the Stone Essence is. Even a fist-sized piece is worth a fortune, and this one is so large that it’s likely impossible to find another like it in the Hongmeng Realm,” said the host with a smile, his voice filled with irresistible temptation.
In truth, though this Stone Essence was rare, the host was exaggerating. There were surely more of such large Stone Essences in the Hongmeng Realm!
Yet, no one in the auction hall objected to the host’s words.
“Elder Hassan of the Maide Family entrusted our Fengming Merchant Group to auction this Stone Essence under the condition that it be auctioned as any item whatsoever—whichever one is the most precious will win it!” the host continued.
Any item?!
The crowd’s eyes lit up. This was much more lenient than the conditions for auctioning the Spirit Tree earlier, as bidding for that tree required an innate item of fire attribute.
Many had given up hope of bidding for the Stone Essence, but now, hearing the host’s words, their enthusiasm surged.
Such a rare treasure in the Hongmeng Realm—who wouldn’t want it?
“Very well, then let the bidding begin!” the host declared.
“I offer a top-tier Supreme Divine Artifact!” As soon as the host spoke, a clan head stepped forward.
Above Hongmeng Divine Treasures were the top-tier Supreme Divine Artifacts!
In the Hongmeng Realm, there were over twenty Divine Kings, but not all possessed Divine King Treasures or Hongmeng Divine Treasures. Thus, some Divine Kings could only use top-tier Supreme Divine Artifacts.
This showed just how precious these artifacts were!
As that clan head spoke, the noisy hall grew quiet. Even those clan leaders who had intended to bid for the Stone Essence were shocked and dared not make a move.
“Is there anyone else willing to bid for this Stone Essence?” The host’s voice broke the silence.
Still, no one bid immediately. After all, not every clan could produce something even more precious than a top-tier Supreme Divine Artifact.
“I offer an innate divine pill—the Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill!” A deep voice slowly rang out in the silence.
The Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill!
Many powerful figures in the hall exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone knew how precious innate divine pills were. Even Divine King-level experts might not be able to refine them, as the conditions for crafting them were extremely stringent.

And the Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill is among the top-tier divine pills among the innate divine pills. It is said that even if one’s divine essence is damaged and they are critically ill on the verge of death, taking just one pill of this Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill can instantly restore them to full health and revive their divine essence. Moreover, the effects of this pill last for several days after ingestion. In other words, it grants one half an immortal body!

After being shocked, the gods turned to follow the source of the voice. The voice came from a VIP room, and they began to discuss among themselves, guessing which clan leader or elder was inside. The Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill is not something that ordinary supreme divine warriors can afford. It is easy to imagine that the person who bid for the Stone Essence from within the VIP room must be related to a divine king-level warrior.

“Well, since this nobleman has offered the Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill, is there anyone else bidding for the Stone Essence?!” The host, seeing that it was someone from the VIP room, spoke with respect, tinged with excitement. After speaking, he glanced around at the powerful warriors present. Realizing they could not offer anything more precious than the Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill, the warriors avoided eye contact. Thus, silence fell over the scene once again.

Huang Long remained calm. While others did not know who had offered the Nine-Color Cloud-Devouring Pill, Huang Long knew clearly that it was the male elder from the Golden Ape clan in the VIP room who had spoken. At that moment, Lus glanced at Huang Long, who nodded. “I’ll offer an attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures!” With Huang Long’s signal, Lus spoke up.

An attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures! The gods and powerful warriors present were shocked once again, staring at Lus in disbelief. An attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?! Someone actually used such a precious artifact to bid for the Stone Essence! Attack artifacts from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures are fought over even by divine kings; every clan treasures them as heirlooms. Yet, Lus brought one out to bid for the Stone Essence! No matter how precious the Stone Essence might be, it paled in comparison to such an artifact.

The gods were astonished. Since the Nais family rarely traveled in the Hongmeng Realm, many did not recognize Lus or Perkin. But that didn’t mean no one knew them. “Hey, isn’t that Lus, the ancestor of the Nais family?!” “Lus, the ancestor of the Nais family? The master of formations? I heard even divine king-level warriors find it hard to break through his Illusion Sea God-Annihilation Formation.” “Really? That can’t be!” “But I never thought the Nais family would possess an attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. Hasn’t that been mentioned before? Surely Lus isn’t trying to joke around here at the Fengming Merchant Guild?”

The gods discussed among themselves. In the VIP room, Wei Le also stared at Lu Su in astonishment. “An attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures!” Wei Le muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming. The Naisi family was becoming increasingly interesting! The man and woman from the Golden Ape clan reacted in a similar manner to Wei Le and the others. “Brother, could the Naisi family really possess an attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?” the woman asked, her voice as melodious as a nightingale’s, very pleasant to hear. “We’ll find out soon enough,” the man replied gravely. But if it were true, his chances of bidding for that Stone Essence would be zero, and he wouldn’t be able to complete the task assigned by his family. The man gently tapped the armrest of his chair. “Sir, do you really intend to bid for the Stone Essence using an attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?” At that moment, the host’s voice rang out, silencing the gods’ chatter. All eyes turned to Lu Su. “Indeed,” Lu Su said. The host chuckled and said, “In that case, could you please let our appraisers examine that attack artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures? It’s not that we don’t trust you, sir, but it’s part of our company’s policy for safety reasons, haha.” Hearing this, Huang Long sneered. What company policy? Just now, the Golden Ape clan wanted to bid with the Nine-Color Cloud Swallowing Pill, yet no one asked them to show it for appraisal. Now that it was the Naisi family’s turn, they had to do the appraisal first. “Alright,” Lu Su nodded. Then, he summoned a top-grade immortal sword that Huang Long had given him earlier. As soon as the top-grade immortal sword appeared, the powerful warriors present felt a fierce killing aura emanating from it, with astonishing sword energy in all directions. “What incredible sword energy and killing aura!” “It seems it truly is an artifact from the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. Even the highest-tier supreme divine swords don’t have such strong sword energy!” Gasps of amazement filled the air.
