The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 78: Are They Talking About Me?

The people on the auction floor immediately felt excited after hearing Qian Song's announcement.

The only ones who did not care were the Inner Sect disciples whose cultivation base was above the eighth level of Qi Condensation, who started chatting amongst themselves about other topics, or just close your eyes to rest.

"Please take the time to check the pills first," Qian Song said with a dry cough. "After that, I'll reveal the price." It was at this point that a beautiful young lady emerged from the glowing door, holding a wooden box in her hand.

Excitement awoke as everyone stuck out their necks to try to see precisely this type of Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill that would cause a strange expression to appear on Qian Song's face.

Bai Xiaochun became increasingly nervous, and started breathing heavily as he looked into the auction stage. A moment later, the beautiful young lady lifted her lid from the box and took out a dark purple pill.

The medicinal pill was very striking considering the fairness of his skin. It shone with a soft light, and the three designs on its surface were very visible. Also visible .. is a small turtle engraved next to the spirit design.

At first, silence won. But then, a huge commotion occurred.

“Threefold spirit boost! Heaven! Did my eyes deceive me ?! ”

"That's crazy! This was actually a tier 2 spirit medicine with a threefold increase in spirit! I can't believe someone managed to do such a thing !! "

"It's crazy! Enhanced spirit Violet Qi Spirit Ascension Pill !! ”

The voices of the outer Sect disciples flabbergasted rose into a frenzy that filled the entire auction floor.

"Damn it! Who really does something like that? Too bad!"

“Spirit enhancement triples like that? What psycho has the tendency to do such a thing!?!? ”

Even the disciples of the Inner Sect who had ignored things up to this point looked surprised. When they saw the spirit designs running on the surface of the medicinal pill, their eyes widened, and they gasped. Many of them even jumped to their feet.

It should be stated that the success rate of increased morale is not very high. A one-fold increase was already quite difficult, and a two-fold increase was even more difficult. As for the threefold increase .. everything depends on luck. Even grandmasters would not dare to claim the ability to succeed with a threefold increase.

In the Spirit Stream Sect, too many people had destroyed magic items in the process of trying to triple spirit enhancement, much to their heartache. Because of this, most people have a love-hate relationship with increased vigor; whenever people succeed, they will inflict jealousy on their contemporaries.

For a magical item to successfully receive a triple spirit increase would make it stronger to a shocking level, and would make many people eager to obtain it. But now ... everyone was astonished to see the medicinal pill that had received a threefold increase in spirit!

Moreover, it was a tier 2 medicinal pill!

If a beautiful pattern was formed on the wings of a butterfly, everyone would admire its spectacular beauty. But if such a design appeared on the back of a pig .. it could only be described as a huge waste !!

Mixed emotions can be seen on the faces of the audience as many thoughts flow in their minds. Many of them even clenched their hands into balls, causing blood vessels to bulge on their hands and faces. The disciples of the Inner Sect of the Peak Violet Cauldron were very sad, given that they were studying spirit enhancement as part of their cultivation.

“Good luck! Someone actually managed to do a spirit boost on the medicinal pill, and then brought it here to sell. Goddamnit! If I were that lucky, I would definitely have a treasure that enhanced his spirit !! ”

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the second floor stared at the medicinal pill in front of them in shock.

Bai Xiaochun sat on the balcony watching all this happen, somewhat surprised. He stared blankly at the angry crowd below, some of them blushing on his face. He suddenly had a feeling ... that he might have gone too far .. He immediately put a true expression of anger onto his face and then pointed the medicinal pill furiously.

"Loser!" he shouted furiously. "What loser made those pills ?!"

Far away in the distance, Sun Chen smiled wryly. When he first saw the medicinal pill, he had experienced the same feeling as most of the current audience had. But then he saw the way Bai Xiaochun was acting in the distance, and his jaw dropped. A little sweat even dripped down the side of his face.

However, it was at this point that someone in the crowd with sharp eyes happened to see a small turtle engraved on the side of the pill.

"eeee? Why did the little turtle seem so familiar …? ” Almost as soon as those words came out of his mouth, the others among the crowd began to take a closer look at the pill. At first, they were all so shocked by the three spirit designs that they saw nothing else. But now they all noticed the turtle etching.

"The little turtle …. Hey, I remember! Back at Fragrant Cloud Peak, the first place in all the stone inscriptions in the 10,000 Medicines Pavilion was occupied by a small turtle !! ”

“This guy looks like that. The style is exactly the same. It was ... carved by someone! ”

"The person who concocted the pill, and then went into madness did triple the increase in spirit, was none other than the Chosen and Chosen of the mysterious and unfathomable Fragrant Cloud Peak, the little turtle!"

The cries of joy sounded. After all, many of the disciples in the audience were from Fragrant Cloud Peak, and once they saw the little turtle, they were shocked.

More and more people were looking at the turtle, and gasps rang out. People even started to stand up. Although not much news about the small turtle Fragrant Cloud Peak had spread lately, it was very famous. Everyone in the sect knew about him, and many people kept speculating about who he really was.

But suddenly ... she had made another appearance!

Furthermore, he had chosen to completely shake the entire auction, and shock everyone present.

Zhou Xinqi was there among the crowd, her eyes shining brightly when she saw the medicinal pill. His chest rose, and various emotions ran through him.

"So you finally showed your face" he muttered to himself. “A Chosen One like you can't stay hidden forever within a sea of people. You may want to remain invisible, but your incredible talent has brought you to light, no matter how much you try to hide, I will find out who you are, one day! " Zhou Xinqi had spent a lot of time secretly investigating the little turtle. For a time, he suspected Bai Xiaochun, but soon decided that it was not him, and fabricated his own version of who the little turtle was. He was a cold and arrogant man who would never taint his own name out of a desire to become famous.

Zhou Xinqi was actually not the only one who came to such a conclusion. Most people felt the same way, even Hou Xiaomei. Of course, much of it was because of how much Bai Xiaochun himself spread the story about the little turtle.

Many people even analyzed why he used a turtle as his mark. The explanation is that he has a quiet personality, but also maintains high aspirations. Like a turtle, his medicinal pills would last for thousands of years in the future.

Hou Xiaomei stood not too far away in the distance, his eyes widening in admiration. Due to Bai Xiaochun's insistence, he worshipped the little turtle more than anyone in the sect. In fact, he even found another student like himself, and had formed something of a club, which they called the Little Turtle League.

"What?! Little turtle! " Hou Xiaomei almost jumped into the air in excitement as she pointed to the auction stage.

The entire auction floor turned into chaos. Now, people no longer say a single comment in anger or skepticism. Instead, deep expressions appeared on their faces.

"He must have pursued excellence to the extreme!"

“A chosen one who was chosen like a small turtle would never do any spirit enhancement on a medicinal pill just to sell it at auction. He's looking for the essence of the medicinal Dao. He did it as a means of research, because of his incredible focus! ”

Even the Inner Sect disciples who were previously in such pain were now sighing and looking at each other anxiously. They all had to admit that they were incapable of triple spirit enhancement.

“Now I understand what he chose. He's not crazy, nor is he showing off. He has big aspirations. He's really focused! He wanted his medicinal pill to reach the highest peak! ”

"Looky! It's shocking! This level of focus, this level of willpower, this type of perfect pill .. we can all strive to imitate it! "

"Threefold increase in spirit can improve the quality of objects by three values. That meant ... that these medicinal pills were originally middle class. The small turtle's skill in concocting medicine has far surpassed mine. He definitely deserves his reputation! ”

“Pil of the drug should be kept as a souvenir! I must have it! " The eyes of the Inner Sect disciples shone with a bright light. Although the pill was not suitable for their consumption, it could fill it with inspiration.

Seeing such a pill made them feel as if they were looking at a Chosen One who cared not for fame or fortune, who was completely focused, who struggled only after Dao treatment.

Seeing how quickly the conversation was changing, Bai Xiaochun, who had joined in the anger of the public, suddenly stared around with wide eyes. After hearing what people said, his face started to turn red.

"Are they ... are they talking about me …?" he thought, trembling. He had never realized how superior he was. Now when he suddenly saw the light, he had the urge to shout at the top of his lungs, to tell everyone around him that he was the famous Turtle God!

However, it was at this point that Qian Song cleared his throat and smiled.

“As you all see, this pill has great symbolic meaning. Minimum bid, 500 spirit stones. A minimum bid increase of 50 spirit stones! ”

Bai Xiaochun gasped when he heard the astronomical price. Most of the disciples of the Outer Sect could not even afford to buy many spirit stones.

"600 spirit stones!"

“700 spirit stones! That pill contained the essence of the medicinal Dao! I have to get it! "

"800! Who would dare to defeat me !? ” The disciples of the Inner Sect immediately started calling out the price, and soon everyone was in an uproar.

Bids continued to be called, and soon the price reached 1,500 spirit stones. Bai Xiaochun's throat was dry, and he was panting.

"Crazy!" he spoke happily. "They're all crazy …. Wait, let's be a little crazier, people …. Come on!! Everyone join in! "

"1,800 spirit stones." The offer came from Zhou Xinqi, causing many people to look towards him. Bai Xiaochun even started to comfort him.

The price had reached the limit of what the disciples of the Inner Sect might be capable of. Although none of them wanted to release the pill, they had no choice but to sigh. After all, Zhou Xinqi had already become a Chosen in the Dao of Medicine. Since he wanted the pill, no other disciple would be willing to compete with him.

Bai Xiaochun was very pleased with the price, and had to refrain from running into Qian Song, grabbing the auction hammer, and slamming it to end the bidding. However, it was at this point that the stubborn and persistent voice of the young lady sounded, fiery like pepper.

"I am Hou Xiaomei from the Hou Clan. I bid for 3,000 spirit stones! "
