Facing the angry yet helpless Mo Tianxing, Lin Feng feigned hesitation.

Finally, with a look of reluctant compromise, he nodded and said, ”Sect Master Mo, if you can add three additional sets of Zong Breaking Pill ingredients and two complete corpses of Rank 6 flying magic beasts, I suppose I can take the loss and agree to the exchange.”

”That’s fine!”

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s new demands, Mo Tianxing only paused briefly before agreeing.

Indeed, these rare materials already exceeded the value of a Low-Grade Earth Class technique.

But he desperately wanted that Zong Breaking Pill, to the point where he wasn’t willing to haggle further and simply accepted the terms.

Seeing the other party agree, Lin Feng was inwardly pleased.

In this deal, the other party even offered three full sets of materials for the pill.

That was essentially equivalent to trading one ancient phoenix corpse, along with two complete Rank 6 flying magic beast bodies, in exchange for Lin Feng personally refining a Zong Breaking Pill.

And if he could later obtain the Sky Bird Nine Flying Wings, the wings of those two Rank 6 flying magic beasts could also be refined into a Flying Dou Technique.

Since the deal would only be finalized when all the items were delivered, the corpse of the magic beast would naturally be taken back for now by its owner.

Afterward, the two of them walked out from behind the light screen.

”Everyone, after careful consideration, the final decision is that the Zong Breaking Pill will go to private room number five!”

Standing before the gathered crowd, Lin Feng’s deep and resonant voice slowly spread across the hall.

”Damn it! What on earth did Mo Tianxing offer? We bid with a Mid-Grade Earth Class technique!”

In another private room, Fang Yan immediately cursed aloud upon hearing the outcome.

Elder Ying Shan was also taken aback—he hadn’t expected his pill formula to fail in moving Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng paid them no mind and simply cast a glance toward a hidden location in the room.

In that instant, the space beside him twisted.

Then, a stunning, seductive figure appeared silently, like a phantom, before all eyes in the hall.

The sudden appearance of the alluring beauty caused many in the crowd to widen their eyes in shock.

”She’s standing in mid-air without wings—Dou Zong!”

Those who previously couldn’t sense Medusa’s cultivation level were stunned when they saw the beautiful woman standing mid-air without even manifesting Dou Qi Wings.

Meanwhile, those who had already sensed Medusa’s Dou level narrowed their eyes slightly.

They weren’t surprised—since they already had some idea—but they hadn’t expected her to be such a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

”So that woman is the Dou Zong expert backing Lin Feng,” Xiao Yan said coldly, his gaze fixed on the floating Medusa.

”Indeed. She’s even stronger than Su Qian. We’d better be cautious,” Yao Chen’s voice echoed timely in Xiao Yan’s mind.

”Everyone, no need to panic,” Lin Feng said calmly, pressing his hands down to signal silence.

”The next auction item is a rare seventh-tier pill. I’ve asked my wife to appear solely as an added layer of protection.”

With a light chuckle, he didn’t bother to hide his relationship with Medusa.

After all, the two had been inseparable recently.

Even if he didn’t say it, anyone with a bit of curiosity could have figured out the nature of their relationship by asking around.

Once they heard the words seventh-tier pill, the panicked crowd immediately shifted their focus.

The noisy auction hall suddenly returned to complete silence.

All the guests widened their eyes in unison, staring toward the auction platform.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t waste time.

With a flick of his finger, he summoned a slightly strange transparent bottle from his storage ring.

Inside it, a completely blood-red pill emerged, immediately drawing the attention of the entire room.

Countless fervent gazes followed Lin Feng’s every movement, fixated on that crimson pill.

Roughly the size of a longan, the pill looked incredibly mysterious, like a translucent bead filled with blood.

At the very center of the pill, a faint crimson glow flickered within the blood-like liquid—

If one looked closely, it almost resembled a tiny eye, emanating an eerie and ominous feeling.

”Master, this blood-red seventh-tier pill seems to be even stronger than the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill,” Xiao Yan silently marveled as he stared at the transparent jade bottle in Lin Feng’s hand.

Relying on his excellent soul perception, he could faintly sense it—the spiritual vitality within this pill clearly surpassed that of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.

”You’re right,” Yao Chen casually glanced over and confirmed without much effort. ”This pill is indeed far superior to that seventh-tier pill that wretched beast managed to barely refine before.”

However, as for what exact pill it was, even he couldn’t immediately identify it.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng slowly raised the jade bottle and announced loudly: ”This pill is called the Life Devouring Pill, and it is a peak seventh-tier pill!”

As his voice echoed across the hall, it was like a bomb exploding within the auction house—

Instantly, a wave of uproar and exclamations erupted.

Countless eyes lit up with a burning heat, their gazes locked tightly onto that pill.

Even some of the Dou Zong-level experts in the crowd were no exception.

Though many had already guessed its value, hearing it confirmed aloud still caused several throats to gulp subconsciously.

This kind of pill—something that might only appear once in decades—how could they not be tempted?

”What? The Life Devouring Pill?!”

Even Yao Chen, a master alchemist of the eighth-tier, was visibly shocked.

He never expected such a pill to appear in the chaotic region of Black-Corner Domain.

Xiao Yan’s expression mirrored his master’s.

He had once heard Yao Chen mention this pill unintentionally, so he clearly understood its terrifying properties.

”May I ask what effects this Life Devouring Pill possesses?”

At this moment, an elder with gray hair and a sharp hawk-like nose, who had not bid a single time thus far, suddenly spoke up from the stage.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback by this sudden question.

This old man’s aura clearly wasn’t much different from Mo Tianxing’s, yet his soul power was extraordinarily strong—so much so that even Lin Feng felt slightly inferior.

Looking at the man’s attire and sensing his Dou Zong-level cultivation, Lin Feng quickly guessed—this elder was most likely the renowned Elder Ying Shan.

With that thought passing through his mind, Lin Feng turned his attention to the audience and began explaining:

”The effect of this pill is simple—it can forcibly raise a cultivator at the Da Dou Shi level directly to the Dou Wang level in a very short period of time!”

”What?!”

The crowd erupted again, unable to contain their shock.

Others might struggle for decades or even their entire life to rise from Da Dou Shi to Dou Wang—and now, a single pill could accomplish this?

How could they possibly remain calm?

Even the powerful factions in the VIP rooms were shaken.

Having all advanced from low ranks themselves, they knew exactly how difficult such a breakthrough was.

That’s why they were so stunned by the pill’s effect.

”However, this pill also comes with a heavy price,” Lin Feng continued, not intending to conceal anything. ”After becoming a Dou Wang, the consumer will only have approximately three years of lifespan remaining.”

Upon hearing this, many of those who were tempted instantly lost interest.

Indeed, to pay such a steep cost, only to gain a short-lived Dou Wang, seemed like a terribly bad bargain.

But Lin Feng only smiled and added,

”Please, everyone, don’t worry. Since the Life Devouring Pill is a peak seventh-tier pill, it obviously isn’t that simple. If the consumer can obtain rare natural treasures that extend life within those three years, they will be able to continue living.

Moreover, if they manage to break through to the Dou Huang level, the side effects will be permanently neutralized, and their lifespan will return to normal.”

Hearing this explanation, many people’s expressions changed once again.

Some who had just dismissed the idea began rethinking its value.

After all, with enough luck or planning, it wasn’t entirely hopeless to extend one’s life—or even break through.

And in desperate situations, being able to instantly produce a Dou Wang—even temporarily—could change the outcome of entire wars.
