”Pavilion Master Lin, how are we supposed to know whether the information you’ve given us is true or not? After all, none of us have ever heard of this kind of pill. Besides, we’ll have to wait several years before we can even confirm whether its side effects can truly be removed.”

Mo Tianxing, who had always been cautious, asked with lingering doubt after hearing Lin Feng’s explanation.

The others present nodded in agreement after hearing Mo Tianxing’s concern.

After all, they had never even heard of the existence of the Life Devouring Pill before.

Whether Lin Feng was telling the truth or not—they had no way of knowing.

Seeing the skeptical looks on their faces, Lin Feng could only smile wryly. Still, he could understand their concern.

After all, anyone wishing to trade for the Life Devouring Pill would have to offer something of considerable value.

It was only natural that they would want to know all the details about the pill beforehand.

Letting out a slow breath, Lin Feng said confidently, ”Everyone, rest assured. Since I dared to speak so boldly, of course I have the confidence to back it up. Because... it was precisely by relying on this Life Devouring Pill that I advanced from the Da Dou Shi stage to Dou Wang!”

”What?!”

The moment those words left Lin Feng’s mouth, the entire hall erupted into an uproar.

Everyone present wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

”No wonder! I was wondering how his Dou Qi could increase so rapidly. So it turns out he had such a fortuitous encounter!”

In a corner, Xiao Yan spoke with a look of sudden realization.

”Something’s not right… That kid’s foundation is so solid—it doesn’t look like the result of being forcibly boosted by a pill…”

Unlike Xiao Yan, Yao Chen’s face was filled with doubt. He couldn’t make sense of the situation.

Su Qian, Mo Tianxing, and the others also showed similar expressions of confusion after the initial surprise wore off.

High above, Lin Feng seemed to have noticed their puzzlement and continued calmly, ”However, in order to increase my chances of advancing to Dou Zun, I chose to start over and rebuild my foundation.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped.

”Dou Zun!?”

Just those two words carried an immense sense of impact.

Across the entire Northwestern Region, empires and factions were as numerous as the stars in the sky.

But the number of Dou Zun experts? You could count them on two hands.

They never expected that Lin Feng would dare to challenge such a legendary realm.

One had to understand that in the entire Black-Corner Region, only Mang Tianchi had reached the Dou Zun level in the past hundred years.

That alone showed how incredibly rare such experts were.

”No wonder his foundation is so terrifyingly solid… So he rebuilt his cultivation from the start. That explains it.”

After hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, Yao Chen finally understood.

But even so, he was still shocked by Lin Feng’s choice.

For an ordinary person, how could they possibly be willing to give up such powerful strength and start over from scratch?

Once the others returned to their senses, the greed in their eyes toward the Life Devouring Pill reignited.

Since Lin Feng himself had dared to consume the Life Devouring Pill, it proved that the pill’s side effects…must indeed be just as he said—so long as one broke through to Dou Huang, the side effects would be completely removed.

At that moment, everyone present realized just how terrifying this pill truly was.

It had the potential… to artificially create geniuses!

One could easily imagine the implications—if a young cultivator at the Da Dou Shi level took it...

If so, then that person could be instantly transformed into an unrivaled genius!

As for the issue of lifespan—well, for these major powers in the Black-Corner Region, helping someone extend their life by two or three years was definitely within their capabilities.

After all, such resources weren’t considered too rare for them.

Later on, as long as they invested some additional resources into that individual and pushed them to Dou Huang...

Then, decades later, their faction might very well gain a Dou Zong-level expert to oversee it.

In the Black-Corner Region, as long as the Headmaster of Jia Nan Academy didn’t return...

Then Dou Zong was essentially the ceiling of power.

Especially now, with Lin Feng serving as a living example, the crowd’s fanaticism was once again pushed to its peak.

”I’ve already shared all the information about this pill. Now, the auction begins. Those interested may bring their items inside and speak to me in detail.”

Seeing that the atmosphere had been reignited, Lin Feng immediately announced the start of the Life Devouring Pill auction.

Then, under countless fiery gazes, he turned and stepped into the glowing barrier alongside Queen Medusa.

”Whoosh~”

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a peak Dou Huang from the southern region of the Black-Corner Region followed him at lightning speed, darting through the glowing screen.

He had been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for many years and knew very well in his heart—

This lifetime, he likely had no hope of stepping into Dou Zong.

However, if his younger kin were to consume this pill…

And if he worked hard to gather the necessary resources to nurture them properly, there might yet be a chance for them to reach Dou Zong in the future.

So how could he possibly sit back and watch this pill slip away right before his eyes?

And once someone took the lead, figures began to flash across the hall one after another, entering the glowing barrier at various intervals.

As time passed minute by minute, the items people brought out from the depths of their collections dazzled Lin Feng.

However, the item he most needed—Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva—still hadn’t appeared.

”Could it be I miscalculated? The Black Emperor Sect isn’t interested in the Life Devouring Pill?”

After sending off Fang Yan from Demon Flame Valley, Lin Feng muttered to himself as he looked at the entrance of the barrier.

If he couldn’t obtain the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva this time, he would have no choice but to wait a few more years…

Until the Black Emperor Sect hosted another auction—then he’d find a way to get it.

”Sigh… I’ll give it two more minutes. If Mo Tianxing still doesn’t show up, I’ll just pick one of these items instead.”

With a soft sigh, Lin Feng looked at the items listed on the sheet before him.

Currently, the most valuable items he had been offered included:

Fang Yan’s Soul Fusion TechniqueSu Qian’s High-Level Earth Class Dou TechniqueElder Ying Shan’s Low Seventh-tier Pill Formula

After a moment of thought, Lin Feng immediately ruled out Fang Yan’s Soul Fusion Technique.

Although this secret art could forcibly devour souls and greatly enhance one’s power for a short time—and though it could indeed be useful in critical moments—its side effects were usually extremely severe.

If he didn’t already have Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, he might have considered it.

But since he already possessed a technique that could temporarily boost his strength, he wasn’t too interested in this one.

Next, Su Qian’s High-level Earth Class Dou Technique was also eliminated.

Although the technique wasn’t limited by elemental attribute, making it suitable for his descendants to cultivate in the future—the problem was that he had already obtained many techniques and Dou Techniques from Han Feng’s Serene Sea Storage Ring.

So this technique didn’t hold much attraction for him anymore.

However, Elder Ying Shan’s pill formula caught Lin Feng completely off guard.

Because this low seventh-tier pill formula turned out to be an ancient pill formula.

Even though he didn’t know where Ying Shan had gotten it from…

Not even Han Feng’s lifetime collection had included such a thing.

And it was unclear how Ying Shan cultivated, but the strength of his soul power...

Was likely enough to rival Han Feng!

Despite his surprise, Lin Feng was deeply intrigued by this ancient pill formula.
