The further a cultivator practices, the harder it becomes. The highest cultivation realms are occupied by only a small fraction of the overall population in the Cultivation World. It can be seen clearly in Wanjie City – there are only a few esteemed Nascent Soul Masters, not even amounting to the fingers of both hands. However, the total number of cultivators in this city exceeds several millions. This stark contrast illustrates how arduous the path of cultivation is.

Yet within the Eight Pill Alliance, there are as many as eight cultivators with Gold Core status. Leading them is Zhang Jun, at the Gold Core Stage Eighth Level, who is already close to becoming a Nascent Soul Master. Such a skilled cultivator, who is also a master in practical skills, might not be considered one of the top characters in Wanjie City, but he still sits at the pinnacle, a power to be reckoned with. He usually keeps a low profile, causing a stir of excitement when he appeared suddenly today with his seven comrades, prompting everyone to marvel at this public appearance.

It’s not just Qi Tian who finds the appearance of these eight Gold Core Realm cultivators intriguing, but other cultivators are also very surprised. They are all guessing why these eight would choose to make a public appearance together. Could it be simply to sell off their various treasures? If so, there would be no need for all eight Gold Core cultivators to appear together. This group appearance feels more like a declaration to the outside world, a way to demonstrate their stance.

Qi Tian, seated comfortably in a private box, takes a glance at the members of the Eight Pill Alliance. He cares little about their intentions. They exist in different worlds from his. He can’t say anything about the future, but at least for now, he will not be embroiled in any conflict with them.

The Eight Pill Alliance’s area is bustling, with cultivators coming by periodically to greet them. Zhang Jun and the others are in such good spirits that they nod in response to each visitor, but not everyone can manage to elicit a verbal reply or a wave from them. Let alone cause them to rise and return the courtesy, that would be even more difficult.

The auction house is bustling with a variety of comments, yet there are hardly any who speculate about the Eight Pill Alliance’s purpose for holding the auction today. Even whispering about Zhang Jun and the others is almost nonexistent. Cultivators have keen ears and sharp eyes, especially powerful ones at the Gold Core Stage. They may overhear your comment the moment you utter it. If Zhang Jun and his companions target you then, that would spell trouble. So, it’s better not to discuss anything related to the Eight Pill Alliance at this time, especially any negative comments or matters related to their privacy.

Qi Tian waits quietly for the auction to begin in his solitary box, enjoying the peace. After resting his eyes for a bit, he hears a clear and ear-piercing bell resounding throughout the auction hall, signaling the start of the auction.

Instantly, the previously noisy auction house quietens. Qi Tian’s gaze first falls upon the auction stage to find an auctioneer yet to take the stage. He looks around the venue again and is surprised to note that the auction house, capable of housing thousands, is almost full with hardly any vacant seats visible. Most of the cultivators present are at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but there are also quite a few at the Gold Core Stage, chiefly seated on the first three rows, amounting to almost three hundred people – a sight that is simply overwhelming.

Before Qi Tian gets a chance to observe the cultivation levels of these Gold Core cultivators, a graceful woman clad in professional attire steps onto the auction stage. “Sirs, I am here, at the behest of the members of the Eight Pill Alliance, to host today’s auction. My name is Liang Yuqi. I hope you will support me in my work today.”

As Liang Yuqi’s voice fades, the auction hall bursts into applause. Liang Yuqi is a gold-medallist auctioneer from Wanjie Commerce, not just a powerful cultivator at the Gold Core Stage Level 6, but also an extraordinarily beautiful woman. However, what truly made her famous was rejecting a marriage proposal from a Nascent Soul Master.

Nascent Soul Masters are like emperors in Wanjie City. They represent a level in the path of cultivation that many cultivators may not breach in their entire lives. Among the nearly three hundred Gold Core cultivators present at the meeting, not one of them is likely to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Becoming the spouse of a Nascent Soul Master, even as a concubine, is a chance others could only dream of. This opportunity could perhaps offer a step toward becoming a Nascent Soul Master, but Liang Yuqi declined that chance. The city of Wanjie was divided on Liang Yuqi’s decision, and her fame soared amidst this controversy.

Liang Yuqi bows slightly towards the audience below the stage, then clears her throat, saying, “Thank you for your support. Now, let’s commence the auction. The first item up for bid is three Low-Grade Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pills, with a starting price of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. Please commence bidding.”

The Three-Turn Heaven Earth Pill is one of the most common auxiliary elixirs used by cultivators transitioning from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Gold Core Stage. Generally, using a Low-Grade Three-Turn Heaven Earth Pill boosts the success rate by about 5%. Consuming three pills consecutively can enhance this rate to about 10%. This increase is already quite considerable. In order to further increase the chance of success, one must take either a higher-grade Three-Turn Heaven Earth Pill or other types of elixirs as more of the same low-grade pills will serve no purpose.
