Chapter 745: The Mid-Level of Yellow Grade!
“It’s a long story, but I have this special black card with me, which seems to hold value at Lingbao Pavilion!”
Su Yi saw no reason to hide anything from Xi Wuqing. He casually took out the black card from his possession, hoping Xi Wuqing could help him decipher its significance.
Upon seeing the black card, Xi Wuqing’s eyes flickered with surprise. He reached out and carefully took the card from Su Yi, scrutinizing it closely. His expression shifted rapidly as he gazed at Su Yi, as though he were seeing something unbelievable. With a perplexed look, he asked, “Is this really yours?”
“Of course, it is,” Su Yi affirmed confidently.
Watching Su Yi’s unwavering demeanor, Xi Wuqing found himself re-evaluating him. Could this young man truly be a mere wanderer when he possessed a black card from the Lingbao Pavilion?
“It was given to me by a friend from the Lingbao Pavilion. I don’t know much about it, nor did I expect it to hold such immense importance,” Su Yi explained, sensing Xi Wuqing’s doubt and feeling the need to clarify.
Xi Wuqing couldn’t help but believe him. If the black card hadn’t belonged to Su Yi, Lingbao Pavilion would have undoubtedly discovered the truth. Since the prestigious pavilion had acknowledged its legitimacy, there was no reason to doubt it.
“What exactly is this black card?” Su Yi inquired, eager to learn more.
“The Black Card of Lingbao Pavilion!” Xi Wuqing responded, rolling his eyes in disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how Su Yi could be so oblivious to its worth.
Xi Wuqing proceeded to inform Su Yi that the Lingbao Pavilion was an enigmatic institution with deep roots. It was said that the pavilion issued four types of VIP cards: the Silver Card, the Gold Card, the Black Card, and the exceedingly rare Spirit Card.
Generally, acquiring a Silver Card from the Lingbao Pavilion was already a significant challenge, as it symbolized not only power but also prestige.
As for the Gold Card, only cultivators at the Yuan Emperor Realm stood a chance at obtaining it. Even among the high-ranking elders of the Sacred Mountain, very few possessed the credentials required for a Gold Card.
The Black Card, however, was on another level. It did not merely signify an elevated status within the Lingbao Pavilion; it also granted exceptional privileges beyond standard transactions and purchases of cultivation resources.
Owning a Black Card was enough to make even the strongest individuals across the lands take notice.
“If you ever require a rare and precious treasure from heaven and earth, Lingbao Pavilion will acquire it for you in the shortest time possible. If they don’t have it, they will mobilize their vast network to locate it on your behalf. The benefits of this card are indescribable.”
Xi Wuqing returned the Black Card to Su Yi, his face a mix of envy and astonishment. As an alchemist and Soul Tamer, he found the Black Card incredibly enticing. Yet, even obtaining a Gold Card was a formidable challenge for him, let alone this highly sought-after Black Card.
“This is indeed something remarkable,” Su Yi mused, his face lighting up with satisfaction. Regardless of Lan Yuli’s true background, he now knew for certain that the Black Card was authentic. He carefully put it away, recognizing that it would grant him immense convenience within the Lingbao Pavilion.
Xi Wuqing studied Su Yi for a while before letting out a deep breath. By now, he had grown accustomed to it—this young man always gave off an air of unpredictability.
“Is it safe to breathe now that no one is around?”
Su Xiaoshuai poked his head out from Su Yi’s embrace. Realizing that they were finally alone, he dared to speak up.
Su Yi let out a helpless sigh. It had been a struggle keeping this little troublemaker quiet for so long.
“A large number of powerful figures have gathered. It seems they are all here for an extraordinary treasure.”
Xi Wuqing composed himself and sat upright in the private room. Surveying the surroundings, he sensed numerous faint yet potent auras. Some of them were even familiar to him. In addition to the Sacred Mountain, Yutian Palace, and the five dominant factions, many other formidable individuals had also arrived. It was clear that this auction would be a battleground for hidden power struggles.
“A good chance to broaden my perspective,” Su Yi said with a faint smile. He had no expectations—after all, this had nothing to do with him.
“Hula-la-la…”
The entire auction hall buzzed with excitement, filled with countless attendees.
“Click!”
Suddenly, in the midst of the lively atmosphere, numerous figures appeared on the grand auction stage. Brilliant light cascaded from above, illuminating the platform and instantly captivating everyone’s attention.
The lively chatter subsided as all eyes fixed upon the auction stage. The long-anticipated event was about to begin.
A group of individuals walked onto the stage in an orderly fashion. Disciples from the Lingbao Pavilion stood on either side, their expressions solemn. Each of them exuded an invisible pressure, making it clear that they were no ordinary cultivators.
An elderly man made his way onto the stage. Appearing to be in his fifties, he had an average physique, neatly tied black hair, and was dressed in a flowing robe. His eyes gleamed with intelligence, and a faint smile graced his lips. Standing confidently, he bowed in all four directions with clasped fists, his voice carrying a steady and commanding presence that resonated throughout the auction hall.
“On behalf of Lingbao Pavilion, I extend my gratitude to all of you for attending today’s auction. I will be hosting this grand event, ensuring that your valuable time as esteemed guests is well spent. Now, let the auction commence!”
“Buzz!”
His voice carried an invigorating energy, reaching every corner of the hall with clarity. As a melodious chime echoed through the air, the entire auction hall fell into silence.
A disciple from Lingbao Pavilion emerged from behind the auction stage, holding a palm-sized jade box with a composed and focused expression. He carefully placed the box on the stage.
The audience consisted of seasoned warriors. Although they were seated at a distance, their trained eyes had no difficulty seeing the jade box clearly.
All of a sudden, a radiant beam of light shone from above, casting a dazzling glow upon the auction stage.
The crowd collectively held their breath, eyes gleaming with anticipation. What would be the first item presented at the Lingbao Pavilion’s grand auction?
Under the watchful gazes of everyone present, the elderly auctioneer stepped forward and opened the jade box. In an instant, a dazzling golden pill was revealed, its golden radiance illuminating the surroundings. A rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air, captivating the audience.
“Seven Treasures Void Elixir!”
The moment the pill was unveiled, astonished murmurs rippled through the crowd.
“A yellow-grade intermediate pill right from the start!”
Inside the private room, Su Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief. His understanding of medicinal pills had just been rewritten. The Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill was merely at the initial yellow grade. Yet, here at Lingbao Pavilion’s auction, they casually presented a yellow-grade intermediate pill as the opening item!
