On the auction stage, the white-haired auctioneer continued to promote the mysterious black cloth, speaking fervently about its enigmatic qualities and ancient aura.

However, despite all his efforts to raise its perceived value, the response was lukewarm at best. His persistent introduction only seemed to irritate some in the audience, and a few of the more impatient spectators even began cursing openly.

Hearing the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd below, the white-haired auctioneer shook his head in resignation, swallowing to soothe his parched throat as he said with a wry smile, "The starting price for this mysterious cloth is set at one hundred thousand gold coins. Let the auction begin."

As his words fell, the vast auction hall fell into complete silence.

Many glanced at the item on stage with looks that could only be described as skeptical. Who would spend one hundred thousand gold coins on a cloth with an uncertain purpose? Even if they had the money, there was no point in throwing it away on such a gamble.

Under the black robe, silver eyes focused on the mysterious cloth, and Mo Yu's gaze sparkled with interest.

Thanks to his unique Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes, he could sense that this ancient cloth indeed possessed something unusual.

Although Mo Yu didn't know its exact purpose, he understood well that in both his previous world and the Dou Qi Continent, countless fateful encounters came by sheer luck.

Just look at Xiao Yan: his ability to subdue the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame was due to fragments of a tattered map he'd found and pieced together over time. And those map fragments only fell into Xiao Yan's hands because no one else had paid them any attention.

Thus, this sudden appearance of a mysterious map stirred Mo Yu's interest.

As the auction hall remained silent for nearly five minutes, the white-haired auctioneer sighed softly, ready to announce the auction's cancellation when a voice suddenly broke the silence, much to his relief.

"One hundred thousand."

The calm voice shattered the quiet atmosphere, and countless eyes followed the source, settling on a black-robed figure seated near the front. Muttering voices filled the air.

"Is this guy crazy? Spending one hundred thousand on a useless piece of cloth?"

Even some of the factions seated in the front looked at Mo Yu with astonished glances, as if questioning his sanity.

On the crystal platform, the auctioneer finally exhaled, flashing a smile at Mo Yu as he asked, "This gentleman has bid one hundred thousand. Anyone else willing to increase the bid?"

Hearing his words, countless people rolled their eyes. Did he think there were that many fools in the world?

The auctioneer seemed to realize this question was in vain. With a sheepish grin, he struck the auction hammer.

Realizing he had obtained what might be a treasure map so easily, Mo Yu was taken aback, then shook his head with a smile.

After spending time with Xiao Yan, he'd become almost paranoid. Whenever Xiao Yan showed interest in something valuable, there always seemed to be someone who swooped in at the last moment. But apparently, Mo Yu wouldn't be granted such "special treatment."

In retrospect, it made sense. Although the mysterious cloth was ancient, it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary item. The messy patterns scrawled across it were so chaotic that they seemed like a child's random doodles, leaving no indication of any hidden treasure. In such uncertain circumstances, even the auction house likely didn't expect it to fetch one hundred thousand gold coins.

After the mysterious cloth was auctioned off, the event continued at a steady pace, with anticipation for the next treasures evident on every face in the crowd.

Following the sale of the mysterious map, several valuable items appeared, one after another. Techniques and Xuan-class dou technique were as plentiful as cabbage, which would be quite rare in the Jia Ma Empire.

At one point, an advanced Xuan-class movement skill sparked intense bidding between sects like the Barbarian Beast Sect and the Raging Fire Sect.

Witnessing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the Di Yan Auction House was not widely known in the Black-Corner Region, and no major first-tier faction had sent representatives, it still boasted an impressive selection of items.

After the bidding frenzy for the Xuan-class movement skill gradually subsided, Mo Yu's attention was drawn to a blue crystal on a small silver tray presented by the auctioneer on the crystal stage.

The crystal was a dazzling shade of blue, about the size of a palm, and its transparent surface gave it the appearance of blue glass. As it was unveiled, a faint spatial force radiated from it, capturing the focus of everyone nearby.

"Is that… an Emerald Blue Crystal? Little one, it seems you have some luck. This auction is worth your time—this Emerald Blue Crystal is perfect for you."

As the blue crystal appeared, the raspy voice of the She Lao echoed in Mo Yu's mind.

"Emerald Blue Crystal?" Mo Yu was taken aback, but soon a smile crept onto his face. "This crystal contains such a strong spatial force. Do you know its origin, She Lao?"

"Heh, where there is an Emerald Blue Crystal, a Dou Zong or higher powerhouse has likely fallen. It's said that this crystal forms deep underground, absorbing the spatial energy of a Dou Zong-level or higher expert's corpse over time. Consequently, it's imbued with spatial power, making it a rare and valuable item." The She Lao chuckled.

Mo Yu nodded, impressed by the connection between the crystal's formation and the fall of Dou Zong or Dou Zun powerhouses, explaining its rich spatial energy.

"Since that's the case, I can't miss this. It's just what Flash Void Breaking Thunder needs for further development."

While Mo Yu conversed with the She Lao, the auctioneer on the crystal platform elaborated on the Emerald Blue Crystal's function and origin, eliciting considerable interest from the crowd.

"Heh, according to our appraisal, the base price for this Emerald Blue Crystal is set at six hundred thousand. Let the bidding begin." The white-haired auctioneer announced the price with a smile as he gazed at the audience.

Upon hearing such a steep price, some potential bidders immediately lost interest.

"Six hundred and twenty thousand!" But those still intent on obtaining it weren't few.

"Six hundred and forty thousand!"

Mo Yu sat calmly, listening to the escalating bids, not rushing to make his move.

As the bidding continued, the number of competing factions dwindled due to the high price. In the end, only two bidders remained, one of whom was an elder from the Raging Fire Sect.

At this point, the bidding had already escalated to about nine hundred and twenty thousand.

"One million!" Just as the price began to stagnate, a neutral voice finally broke the silence. Numerous eyes turned toward the source of the voice, eventually resting on a figure in black robes who had slowly stood up.

The person bidding was none other than Mo Yu. His offer of one million instantly grabbed everyone's attention, as a wealth of that level was beyond the reach of most.

Even the Raging Fire Sect elder from the Barbarian Beast Sect, a faction not lacking in power, frowned upon hearing the price, then decisively backed down after a moment's hesitation.

As expected, the hammer soon fell, and the piece of emerald blue crystal was secured in Mo Yu's possession.

With a calm expression, Mo Yu sat back down and closed his eyes slowly. Although he had only made two purchases, he had already spent over a million. He would need to reserve around a million more for the auxiliary materials needed to refine the Spirit-Merging Holy Chalice.

After this expenditure, Mo Yu no longer felt the urge to continue bidding.

As time slipped by, the auction drew closer to its conclusion. Finally, an item of true weight was brought forward.

Opening his eyes, Mo Yu looked up at the crystal stage. When he noticed the auctioneer's expression suddenly turn solemn, a hint of curiosity arose in Mo Yu's heart, and he murmured, "Looks like the star item is about to make an appearance."

Noticing the auctioneer's shift in expression, several others picked up on this as well. Their murmuring voices quickly fell silent, and countless pairs of eyes focused intently, awaiting the grand finale.

"So, it's finally here." Gao Ba, the Barbarian Beast Sect's young master, murmured, his muscular arms tightening like tree trunks as a bloodthirsty gleam flickered in his eyes.

Nearby, the representatives from other factions, including the Raging Fire Sect, also put aside their usual smiles. Their previously relaxed expressions turned sharp, like the eyes of eagles.

"Clap, clap."

On stage, the auctioneer's face was serious as he clapped his hands. In response, a series of clanking noises sounded from the edge of the crystal platform, and a black metal barrier slowly rose, forming a circular cage around the stage. Even the area above the crystal platform was covered by metal bars that extended out to seal the top.

Mo Yu wasn't surprised by this level of caution from the Di Yan Sect; instead, it only piqued his curiosity further.

He hadn't expected such a remarkable item to appear in what had seemed like an ordinary auction.

"Oh, I sense several hidden auras around the auction hall now. In one area on the second floor, there are even multiple Dou Wang-level presences, likely elders from the Di Yan Sect. They must be rather anxious," She Lao's voice echoed in Mo Yu's mind.

Hearing this, Mo Yu's silver eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, scanned the shadows around the auction hall. His gaze grew serious as he noticed faint glints in the dimly lit second-floor area.

"What could this final item possibly be to make the Di Yan Sect treat it so cautiously?" Mo Yu wondered to himself, shaking his head.

"Just wait; it should be worth the anticipation," She Lao replied with a hint of amusement.

Nodding slightly, Mo Yu returned his gaze to the crystal platform, where the auctioneer was carefully retrieving a half-foot-long purple-gold tray from a lower cabinet. On that tray sat a small, palm-sized jade box.

The box was a faint white color. Despite the distance, the crowd below could clearly see the soft, white mist emanating from the box—a unique trait of the highest-grade cold jade, which had exceptional preservation properties.

"Is it a pill?"

Noticing the box's size and preservation method, Mo Yu, though primarily a weapon refiner, he was also well-versed in pills. He recognized it at a glance.

His silver eyes narrowed slightly as he activated his Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes to peer through the jade box and sense the potent medicinal energy within. Mo Yu couldn't help but feel astonished.

A seventh-grade pill!

Exhaling slowly, Mo Yu understood that only a seventh-grade pill or higher could contain such powerful medicinal energy. The Black-Corner Region was undoubtedly the continent's most chaotic yet opportunity-filled place; indeed, anything could happen here.

If his memory served him right, Xiao Yan would also encounter a seventh-grade pill in the Black-Corner Region—the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, invented by his teacher Yao Lao.

Two seventh-grade pills were considered rare treasures, even in the vast Central Plains.

With the appearance of the jade box, representatives of several factions in the front row sat up straight. Their eyes were filled with unconcealed greed, fixated on the jade box.

Ignoring the hungry stares from outside the metal cage, the white-haired auctioneer, his hands trembling slightly, placed the purple-gold tray carefully on the stage. His bony fingers gingerly lifted the lid of the jade box. Suddenly, a bright red light shot forth.

The sudden burst of red light illuminated the entire auction hall, and a few unprepared individuals instinctively closed their eyes.

Mo Yu, however, kept his eyes open, unaffected by the red light. His silver gaze, concealed under the brim of his hood, locked onto the jade box on the crystal platform. Inside, a red pill the size of a dragon's eye lay quietly.

The pill's surface was perfectly smooth, and a stream of red energy flowed within, occasionally swirling and forming a faint, humanoid shape.

This red energy, when forming a human shape, emitted a faint beastly roar, which, vibrating through the air, spread out in waves, making the souls of all who heard it tremble under the pressure of the beastly aura.

Seeing the humanoid shape within the pill, Mo Yu's face under his hood grew serious.

The phenomenon of pill energy forming a soul-like entity was only seen in seventh-grade or higher pills!

The entire auction hall fell silent, entranced by the ethereal beastly roar.

"A seventh-grade pill... Transformation Pill?!"
