**

Gazing at the red pill that constantly alternated between humanoid and beastly shapes, a name suddenly surfaced in Mo Yu's mind.

The Transformation Pill, a seventh-grade pill.

Mo Yu was no stranger to this pill, whether from his memories of the original storyline or his personal experiences since reincarnation.

He recalled that back in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Yun Yun once attempted to trade for the Violet Spirit Crystal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had specifically requested a Transformation Pill as one of the exchange conditions. Even though Yun Yun, as the sect master of the Yun Lan Sect, held considerable power, she decisively refused, which demonstrated the pill's extreme rarity.

Mo Yu hadn't anticipated encountering this legendary Transformation Pill in Black-Corner Region.

Within the auction hall, although many were unaware of the pill's true nature, they sensed its extraordinary aura from the earlier red light, sparking looks of desire among the crowd.

However, members of powerful factions like the Barbarian Beast Sect, seated near the front, immediately grew excited. Even Gao Ba, the young sect master, lost control of his Dou Qi due to his intense reaction.

On the stage, the auctioneer swept his gaze across the shocked faces of the crowd with satisfaction. Pointing to the red pill, he said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, here is the highlight of today's auction: a seventh-grade pill, the Transformation Pill!"

As his words fell, a wave of stunned silence washed over the crowd before explosive murmurs and gasps of shock filled the air. Intense, covetous stares locked onto the red pill within the cage.

Seventh-grade pills were so rare that most people here had never seen one before. Now, with such a high-level pill right before them, their excitement was palpable. While some knew it was a pill specifically for magical beasts, its worth was still invaluable.

"Some of you may not have seen this pill before, but you must have heard of its reputation," the auctioneer continued with a smile, observing a few confused faces in the crowd. "With the Transformation Pill, a magical beast can fully transform into human form. After this transformation, their cultivation speed will rival that of humans. Now, tell me—can you imagine its value?"

Hearing this, many fighters who didn't know the pill's effects nodded in understanding.

Magical beasts already enjoyed longer lifespans compared to humans. While some rare pills could extend life, they still fell short of the lifespan of a high-level magical beast. If a high-grade magical beast successfully transformed and trained safely for centuries, its power would become terrifying.

The Transformation Pill was indeed a priceless treasure for magical beasts. Whether used to enhance one's battle companion or to forge an alliance with a high-grade magical beast, the benefits were significant.

The hall remained quiet as the crowd marveled at the pill, their greedy gazes fixed upon it.

"So it really is a Transformation Pill..." Mo Yu murmured, his silver eyes flashing with keen interest.

A voice suddenly echoed in Mo Yu's mind. "Kid, you've been wanting a breakthrough opportunity for Zi Huo since you felt he was growing too slowly, right? Well, the Transformation Pill might be just the chance you need," She Lao remarked.

"In the past year, Zi Huo has been consuming and sleeping within the Beast Ring. After devouring that unknown beast's remains you found, his strength has gradually increased. He's now only a step away from advancing to the fifth tier. 

Although this pill primarily aids magical beasts in transformation, it's still a genuine seventh-grade pill, which means it contains potent medicinal energy that could help Zi Huo advance to the fifth tier, comparable to a Dou Wang. Plus, transforming into human form would accelerate his cultivation rate significantly, making him a more valuable asset to you."

"Indeed…" Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully, She Lao's analysis resonating with his own plans. This Transformation Pill seemed almost tailored for him—for Zi Huo, to be precise.

With this pill, Zi Huo could break through to the fifth tier using its medicinal strength and transform into human form. In human shape, Zi Huo would not only be able to train faster but also more freely enter human society.

Since arriving in Black-Corner Region, Mo Yu understood that relying solely on his strength would hinder his goals; he needed the support of an organization.

If he had an organization to help gather the materials necessary for forging the Spirit-Merging Holy Chalice, things would proceed much more smoothly.

Although he had joined the strongest faction in Black-Corner Region—Jia Nan Academy—the academy remained neutral in regional affairs, meaning Mo Yu couldn't leverage its power for his objectives. Thus, he couldn't rely on them.

In light of this, he started considering another route: if he couldn't join an organization, why not create one of his own?

Previously, this idea was merely an abstract thought. But now, with the opportunity for Zi Huo to transform, it could genuinely come to fruition. With a Dou Wang-level expert like Zi Huo backing him, Mo Yu wouldn't have to worry about his organization being crushed by rivals in the chaotic Black-Corner Region, even while he studied at Jia Nan Academy.

While Mo Yu's mind churned with plans, a voice of skepticism suddenly rang out from the crowd, catching his attention.

"Hold on a second. The Di Yan Auction House is reputable in Black-Corner Region, but compared to the major auction houses, it's still lacking. Would they even possess a seventh-grade pill like this? Are they trying to deceive us with a counterfeit?"

This statement immediately stirred the crowd. Many people began casting suspicious glances at the pill. But just as the voice finished speaking, it quickly vanished.

Mo Yu's Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes darted through the crowd but couldn't find the source. Clearly, this person had hidden their presence to avoid the Di Yan Sect's retribution.

Surprised, Mo Yu thought, This is the first time someone has evaded my Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes. The Black-Corner Region is truly full of unpredictable talents.

Shaking his head, he turned his attention back to the red pill on the stage, now more intrigued by the voice's comment. Activating his Extreme Thunder Silver Eyes, he carefully observed the pill's aura and soon noticed a faint but distinct fluctuation, a slight instability in the transformation between humanoid and beast forms.

"Huh, a flawed pill?" he murmured. "It almost tricked even me. No wonder the Di Yan Auction House was willing to part with it."

She Lao's raspy voice came through, "Seems like we were almost fooled. This Transformation Pill indeed has a defect."

"Flawed Pill?"

"You wouldn't know; it's normal. Flawed pills can only appear in pills of seventh rank and above. Normal pills either succeed or become waste pills, but seventh-rank pills and above have developed some spirit. Even if they don't succeed, there's still a chance they might become flawed pills.

Although flawed pills are not perfect, they retain some medicinal power. However, the extent of that power varies depending on the situation. Looking at the transformation pill on the stage, it may not be perfect, but the medicinal power shouldn't be too low. As for how much, I can't estimate it in haste."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded in understanding. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing as flawed pills…

At this moment, on the crystal platform, the auctioneer with white hair stiffened upon hearing the doubts from below. After a moment, he forced a dry laugh and slowly said, "Please don't rush, everyone. I haven't finished introducing this pill."

"This is indeed a transformation pill. As for its origin, I can't disclose that due to the privacy of the seller. The reason it came to our Di Yan Auction House is that it is an imperfect pill."

"Hmph, is that not just a waste pill to fool us? Is that how the Di Yan Sect operates?" The crowd below expressed their indignation.

Seeing this, the white-haired auctioneer quickly forced a smile and explained, "While this transformation pill is not perfect, pills of seventh rank and above are no ordinary pills. Even if they're imperfect, they still have some effects.

After a detailed appraisal by our Di Yan Sect, we determined that this transformation pill is indeed usable. However, after consuming this pill, the probability of a beast transforming into human form is approximately fifty percent."

"Fifty percent?"

Upon hearing that it was only a fifty percent chance, Mo Yu furrowed his brows slightly. This probability, while not low, was also not particularly high.

Moreover, failing to transform into human form not only means failing to achieve the transformation but also damaging one's cultivation and foundation. For a moment, Mo Yu felt hesitant.

"Mo Yu, fifty percent is enough. My Seven-Winged Purple Gold Serpent bloodline has a special transformation enhancement effect, which can help increase the probability for Zi Huo by thirty percent. That gives us an eighty percent chance, which is worth a try," She Lao said.

"Oh..." A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Yu's eyes. He hadn't expected that She Lao's bloodline could assist in the transformation of beasts. Could ancient bloodlines be this wondrous?

"In that case, I must obtain this transformation pill. However, as for the price of this pill... I can't afford it," Mo Yu said, shaking his head as he glanced at the forces eyeing him from the front.

"Haha, kid, when did you become so pedantic? This is the Black Corner Region; killing and looting are common practices. If you can't buy it with money, then just rob it. With me here, what do you have to fear?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and a smile curved on his lips. He had been waiting for She Lao to say this.

"Good kid, you've calculated it right." She Lao noticed Mo Yu's intentions and laughed, scolding him playfully.

Having known each other for so long, he understood Mo Yu's character well. In his eyes, this kid was remarkably mature, showing none of the youthful recklessness or naivety.

Killing and looting might evoke disdain or guilt in others of his age, but it certainly didn't apply to Mo Yu.

This kid was a ruthless character who would stop at nothing.

However, on the Dou Qi Continent, perhaps only such people could survive longer and go farther, She Lao thought.

After coming to an agreement with She Lao, Mo Yu quietly sat in his chair, no longer looking at the transformation pill. His gaze subtly lingered on several major forces ahead, a chilling smile subtly appearing beneath his black robe.

If nothing unexpected happened, the transformation pill would fall into the hands of these forces; the question was, who would become his prey?

Mo Yu was determined to obtain this transformation pill, and he would stop at nothing.

No matter where the buyer might flee afterward, they would face a deadly attack from the shadows…

"Enough with the chatter, let's start the bidding. We naturally trust the credibility of the Di Yan Auction House."

At this moment, the young lord of the Barbarian Beast Sect, Gao Ba, frowned impatiently and waved his fist, his voice booming.

"Uh-huh." The auctioneer nodded with a smile, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "The value of this transformation pill is clear to everyone.

Although this transformation pill is not perfect, the fifty percent chance of transformation makes it comparable to a top-grade sixth-rank pill. I believe no one has objections to this."

Hearing this, the crowd below nodded in unison. A fifty percent chance of transformation was worth that price; after all, it was a transformation pill.

Seeing everyone agreeing, the auctioneer also breathed a sigh of relief. Though it was a rare seventh-rank pill, its imperfection limited its price. Selling it for the price of a top-grade sixth-rank pill was decent, and the fifty percent chance was already the maximum estimate from the Di Yan Auction House.

Of course, the auctioneer wouldn't say this out loud. Looking at the eager crowd, he smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's begin. As for the starting price for the transformation pill, there is no minimum price!"

"Let's go; there's nothing more to see at this auction. Given the momentum of the Di Yan Auction House, this transformation pill will fetch at least ten million," She Lao said calmly.

Rubbing his chin, Mo Yu nodded slightly. Now that the auction was about to end, there was indeed no need to stay any longer. He glanced sideways at the restless forces ahead, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He then stood up and quietly left the venue.
