Di Tian spoke slowly, paused again, and said:
"Third point—this is more of an aside. I want to take this opportunity to promote the Dragon Phoenix Hall."
"The Dragon Phoenix Hall mainly deals in pills and forging. Currently, the two types of pills we sell are the Foundation-Building Pill and the Barrier-Breaking Pill."
"The former can raise a soul master's innate soul power by one level. For children between the ages of six and twelve, it is effective."
"This increase in innate soul power has no upper limit. For example, if your innate soul power is level nine, then it can be raised to the level of full innate soul power."
"The Barrier-Breaking Pill, on the other hand, allows soul masters below Soul Sect to break through instantly without any side effects. Even large bottlenecks can be broken with multiple doses."
"The Dragon Phoenix Hall headquarters is located on Bright Moon Street, southwest of Sun Moon Royal Academy. Once you arrive there, it will be very easy to spot."
"The Medicine King Pavilion selling pills is located on the second floor. The shop officially opened today. If you need anything, you are welcome to come and buy."
"Oh, and for this grand opening, we have prepared supreme-grade Foundation-Building Pills and supreme-grade Barrier-Breaking Pills. Their effects are more than double that of normal pills. Each type is limited to 300 pills."
"In addition, our alchemists can also refine the One-Year Longevity Pill. Ten of these have been prepared and are available for sale in the Medicine King Pavilion. If you need them, you can go and take a look."
These ten One-Year Longevity Pills were all refined by Bi Ji in recent days. She was becoming more and more skilled in refining this type of pill.
"Hiss…"Sounds of people sucking in cold breaths echoed one after another. Di Tian's words caused quite a stir.
Many were shocked by the effects of the Foundation-Building and Barrier-Breaking Pills—especially the former, which could actually raise a person's innate soul power to full level.
That was just too incredible. Though the difference between level nine and level ten was just one level on paper, in reality, the gap was far larger. Those with full innate soul power had vastly superior talent.
Now, this pill was equivalent to giving those with level-nine innate soul power the chance to become full innate soul power holders, raising their talent to a whole new level.
The appearance of such a pill carried extraordinary significance for the entire soul master world—it could boost the overall cultivation base of soul masters. No wonder everyone was so shocked.
Previously, in Xingyue City's Medicine King Pavilion, these two pills had not been widely advertised, and the success rate of refinement was not high, so not many had been sold. As a result, they hadn't drawn much attention.
But now, with the announcement being broadcast live to over a billion viewers, the sensation it caused was predictable. In less than a day, news of these pills would spread everywhere.
As for whether the pills were genuine—no one doubted it. After all, the Hundred-Year Longevity Pill was real. How could these be fake?
And of course, no one ignored the One-Year Longevity Pill either.
"May I ask, Lord Yun Tian, can the Foundation-Building Pill be taken multiple times?"Someone stood up bravely and asked respectfully.
"At most, it can be taken twice. The first pill has full effect, the second pill only about a third of the effect. Taking a third pill has no further effect," Di Tian replied.
Although this answer disappointed some, it was still acceptable and understandable. Being able to take two was already very good.
If it could be taken without limit, wouldn't everyone become full innate soul power? That was obviously unrealistic.
"Then what about the One-Year Longevity Pill?" the same elder asked.
"It is a pill that extends life by one year. To clarify, this one year of life extension is measured for Title Douluo-level soul masters."
"If a soul master below Title Douluo takes it, the life extension will be even longer. For ordinary people, the effect is greatest—they can gain four to five extra years."
"The Hundred-Year Longevity Pill works the same way. An ordinary person who takes it can extend their life by as much as five to six hundred years."
"The One-Year Longevity Pill is recommended to be taken at most twice. The Hundred-Year Longevity Pill can be taken at most three times. Beyond that, there will be no effect." Di Tian explained.
Upon hearing this, the ordinary people present became extremely excited. The words "five to six hundred years" echoed in their ears, making it hard to stay calm.
This explanation further strengthened their determination to bid for the pill. After all, this was five or six centuries of life!
The livestream room erupted into chaos. People's emotions were completely ignited by the pill's effects, excitement flooding everywhere.
In Mingdu, quick-reacting individuals were already rushing madly toward the Dragon Phoenix Hall to buy pills.
At the Sun Moon Royal Academy, many students under twelve skipped their classes and bolted straight to Dragon Phoenix Hall. Their target: the Foundation-Building Pill.
Each harbored the thought of obtaining one supreme-grade Foundation-Building Pill. The temptation of boosting innate soul power by more than two levels was irresistible.
"That is all I have to say. It is now nearly four o'clock, so it is time to begin today's auction," Di Tian concluded, not planning to elaborate further.
As for the forging workshop, there was nothing more to emphasize. Anyone who went to buy pills at the Medicine King Pavilion would naturally pass by the forging shop and notice the refined metals there.
This was exactly why the forging shop was opened on the first floor—so that the Medicine King Pavilion could draw customers for it.
With a wave of his palm, a jade-green bottle appeared floating before him. He opened the lid, and instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance spread out.
The moment this jade bottle appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to it. Their breathing grew heavy, and their heartbeats accelerated.
The medicinal fragrance had accumulated in the bottle for so long that when the lid was lifted, the gases were so dense they were visible to the naked eye. Pale-brown wisps floated about in the hall.
"Ah… so refreshing!"Moans of pleasure echoed as, upon smelling the fragrance, both soul masters and ordinary people alike felt their pores open and their cells greedily absorbing the aura. Their bodies felt alive and exuberant, and they could not help but cry out in joy.
At this moment, no one cared about appearances. They sniffed desperately, wanting to take in as much of the medicinal fragrance as possible.
The VIP guests in the private rooms could not smell the fragrance, but by observing the reactions of those in the main hall, they could infer a great deal.
Di Tian kept the bottle open for fifteen seconds, then closed it. The fragrance gradually dissipated, leaving the crowd unsatisfied, settling back into their seats reluctantly.
"Let's begin."
Di Tian placed the jade bottle on a metal pedestal at the center of the auction stage. Spotlights converged on it, while the soul tool screen behind displayed a three-dimensional projection of the bottle.
He did not leave the stage but stood beside it, hands clasped behind his back.
Wanwan bowed to Di Tian, then turned to face the VIP seats and announced:
"The starting bid for this pill is ten billion federal coins. Each increase must not be less than one billion federal coins."
"I hereby declare—the bidding for the first Hundred-Year Longevity Pill has officially begun. Distinguished guests, please place your bids."
Ding!
A chime sounded as the giant soul tool screen lit up with words:
Bidder No. 55 has offered eleven billion.
Each bidder had a button at their seat. Pressing it once raised the price by the minimum increment. Friends or attendants of bidders had no buttons. Seats 1 to 100 were for bidders, and those in private rooms had their bids specially marked.
"Bidder No. 55 has offered eleven billion." Wanwan's hand gestured toward seat No. 55.
She was very familiar with the layout here—so much so that even with her eyes closed, she could point to the exact seat number.
