Chapter 154: The Appearance of the Divine-Grade Spirit-Enhancing Pill

Under the startled gazes of the three women, Wu Tian unhesitatingly threw all three necklaces directly into the air.

Yue Shishi instantly raised her right hand, catching the necklaces in mid-air with a pure surge of true qi before pulling them back toward her. Tong Yixin and Tong Yibing let out a simultaneous breath of relief. Although they did not want the necklaces, seeing Wu Tian casually toss away two million worth of items felt deeply wasteful.

"Brother Tian, why must you go to such lengths?" Yue Shishi asked with a wry smile, looking at Wu Tian.

Wu Tian smiled and said, "There is no other way. Since you refused to accept them, I had no choice but to use this method. Now that the necklaces are in Sister Yue's hands, their fate is entirely up to you and no longer has anything to do with me."

"Young Master Wu, you are forcing gifts upon us. This is completely unreasonable! The teacher clearly doesn't want them, yet you insist on giving them anyway. What is your intention?" Guo Yuemen pointed at Wu Tian with intense displeasure.

"Did I force it? I threw the necklaces away, and Sister Yue caught them. How can you call that forcing?" Wu Tian spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"You—"

"Yuemen, say no more. I have accepted these necklaces myself." Yue Shishi waved her hand to cut Guo Yuemen off.

"Brother Tian, Sister Yue accepts your kind intentions. I am deeply grateful to you for such a precious gift. Yixin, Yibing, take one necklace each." Things had reached this point; it would be improper for Yue Shishi to return the necklaces to Wu Tian now, leaving her with no choice but to accept them.

"Master, this—"

"Brother Tian's meaning is very clear. If you two are adamant about not wanting them, you can just throw them away," Yue Shishi told the two sisters.

"Alright, I suppose I will accept it," Tong Yixin nodded, then took the necklace. "Brother Wu, thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift. Although I know I shouldn't accept it, I truly love it. Thank you! In the future, I will give you a great gift as well!"

"Alright, no problem. I shall look forward to your gift," Wu Tian said with a beaming smile.

Tong Yixin had accepted hers, but Tong Yibing still shook her head and said, "Young Master Wu, I cannot accept this necklace. You are my benefactor, but you are not my friend. I cannot accept such a valuable gift."

"Ah, full of personality indeed!" Wu Tian was not upset; instead, he looked at Tong Yibing with a smile. "Since you refuse my gift, I won't force you. How about I simply leave this necklace in your custody for the time being? Would that be acceptable?"

"Why would you leave the necklace with me? These are your things," Tong Yibing asked, puzzled.

"Just consider it doing me a favor. Keep the necklace in your possession, and when the day comes that we become friends, I will officially give it to you. How does that sound?"

Tong Yibing fell silent, pondering for a few seconds before saying, "I am only holding onto it for safekeeping! I will return it to you!"

"Very well, then I leave it in your capable hands," Wu Tian said with a faint smile.

"Brother Tian, are you satisfied now?" Yue Shishi asked with a smile.

"Extremely satisfied, for my efforts were not in vain. Actually, my primary goal was simply to make Sister Yue and the two sisters happy. Besides, the Radiant Necklaces serve both as fine decorations and immense utility."

"Courteous exchanges go both ways. Since Brother Tian is so generous, Sister Yue naturally will not be stingy." With that, Yue Shishi produced a completely translucent pearl and handed it to Wu Tian. "This bead is called the 'Soul-Stabilizing Pearl', originating from the freezing lands of the far north. If a martial artist carries it close to their person, it can both clear the mind and steady the qi, while also enhancing their cultivation. Sister gives it to you now."

Upon seeing the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, Tong Yixin, Tong Yibing, and Guo Yuemen all widened their eyes in shock.

"Teacher, this is a treasure you have worn for nearly ten years! How can you give it away so easily? It's far too wasteful!" Guo Yuemen hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

"When giving gifts, there is no such thing as being wasteful. Since Brother Tian has bared his heart to me, I must naturally treat him with absolute sincerity!" Yue Shishi shook her head and smiled.

"Sister Yue, since it is a gift from you, I certainly won't decline. However, this Soul-Stabilizing Pearl has been with you for a decade, so you must have formed an attachment to it. I have no wish to deprive you of something you cherish."

"The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is merely a lifeless object, whereas Brother Tian is a living person. How can a lifeless object ever compare to a living person?"

"Well said, Sister Yue. Then I shall accept it." Wu Tian nodded and took the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl.

Ding!

"Congratulations to player Wu Tian for obtaining the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl."

"Soul-Stabilizing Pearl: Originating from the freezing realms of the Divine Dragon Continent. Increases the player's spiritual power and spiritual defense by fifty percent each. It can absorb spiritual energy from the environment and convert it into player experience, granting an additional 1,000 experience points per day."

Upon seeing the attributes of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, Wu Tian's eyes widened. *Holy crap, this is an incredible item! It can actually increase experience every day. Although it's not much in a single day, it will accumulate over time. Sister Yue actually gave me something so valuable; she really is a woman of great character.*

"Brother Wu, the teacher treats you so well! She has worn the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl on her person for ten whole years, and now she's just handed it over to you. I am so envious." Tong Yixin blinked, her expression filled with admiration.

"I am your master's brother, so of course it's different. Haha..." Wu Tian laughed heartily.

"The next auction item is truly extraordinary! Its quality has reached the Divine Earth-tier! Moreover, what makes it even more important is that this is a medicinal pill. That's right, a Divine Earth-tier medicinal pill! I suppose everyone might be wondering how a pill of Divine-tier could exist when the highest grade is supposed to be Supreme-tier. But let me tell all our esteemed guests: the quality of this pill surpasses even the Supreme-tier. If it is not Divine-tier, what could it be?"

"Well, no more superfluous words. Let us now present our auction item: the Divine Earth-tier pill, 'Spirit-Enhancing Pill'!"

At that moment, a lovely young woman on the stage pushed forward a small cart. Resting upon it was an exquisitely crafted box, inside of which quietly lay one Divine-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pill alongside three Supreme-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pills. Of course, the Supreme-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pills were merely the green leaves meant to set off the red flower—the Divine-tier pill was the true star.

"As everyone knows, ordinary Spirit-Enhancing Pills are exceedingly rare. Their effect is to allow a martial artist at the tenth level of the Spirit Realm to break through to the first level of the King Realm. Achieving the King Realm from the Spirit Realm is notoriously difficult for a martial artist; some spend their entire lives striving for it in vain, yet a single ordinary Spirit-Enhancing Pill allows an immediate breakthrough! And now, we have three Supreme-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pills here, plus one Divine-tier."

"Supreme-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pills are far more powerful than ordinary ones. They allow a tenth-level Spirit Realm martial artist to leap straight to the second level of the King Realm. As for the Divine-tier one? It is even more formidable, capable of reaching the third level of the King Realm! I ask you, esteemed guests, leaping directly from the tenth level of the Spirit Realm to the third level of the King Realm—is this Divine-tier pill miraculous or not?"

"Whoa!"

An uproar erupted across the venue. Although they had caught wind of rumors beforehand, hearing confirmation right here at the scene that such a powerful Spirit-Enhancing Pill truly existed still left everyone profoundly shocked.

"Breaking through three realms in an instant! This Spirit-Enhancing Pill can no longer be classified as Earth-tier—it ought to be Heaven-tier!"

"Never mind the Divine-tier Spirit-Enhancing Pill, I'd be completely content just to get my hands on a Supreme-tier one!"

"The King Realm and the Spirit Realm are worlds apart. Damn it, I want it so badly!"
