Chapter 1653: Supreme Token!

Money makes the world go round!

These past few days, Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping had done only one thing: buy, buy, buy!

Ye Yuan couldn't refine fourth-tier divine pills now, so he could only help Ning Tianping purchase some pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Ning Tianping had now cultivated to the peak of Divine Lord Third Heaven and touched the bottleneck of Fourth Heaven.

But without Ye Yuan's help, it wasn't easy for him to cross this bottleneck.

These heavenly materials and earthly treasures couldn't be refined into pills, so their help to him was limited.

If buying some heavenly materials and earthly treasures could break through bottlenecks, alchemists wouldn't hold such a lofty status.

From Divine Lord Third Heaven to Fourth Heaven was a major bottleneck. Even with Ning Tianping's high talent, breaking through without external help would take at least a thousand years.

But Ning Tianping wasn't anxious; after all, his cultivation speed was already very fast.

And all of this was thanks to Ye Yuan, so he was already very satisfied.

With ample divine essence stones in hand, Ye Yuan also began to collect some relatively precious fourth-tier spiritual herbs and started researching them.

In fact, Ye Yuan had already begun research on fourth-tier pills long ago.

He had the Realm Boundary Stele space, allowing him to use time ten times more efficiently than others.

Over these three hundred years, excluding time spent in the outside world, Ye Yuan had effectively lived more than two thousand years.

During these two thousand years, Ye Yuan couldn't devote himself entirely to creating techniques.

Researching pills naturally became Ye Yuan's second choice.

Now, Ye Yuan's foundation was extremely solid. Even without Wuchen's guidance, through gradual exploration, he had gained a great understanding of fourth-tier divine pills.

And under Wuchen's guidance, his progress was incredibly fast.

If he could break through to the Divine Lord realm now, he could directly refine fourth-tier divine pills of difficulty levels six or seven without issue.

But between divine path realms, the gap in soul power was too great; it wasn't like the mortal realm where one could casually refine across tiers.

Only by breaking through to the Divine Lord realm could Ye Yuan refine fourth-tier divine pills.

Fourth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures were all very expensive, often costing hundreds of millions of divine essence stones.

In five days, the two of them spent nearly a hundred billion!

Haha, sir, this feeling of spending money is just too exhilarating! Now I finally understand why your cultivation is so fast!" Ning Tianping laughed heartily.

Ning Tianping had always thought he was a tycoon, but compared to these past few days, he was just a bumpkin!

What does it mean to spend a fortune?

This is what it means to spend a fortune!

Spending a hundred billion in five days—who has such boldness?

For Ye Yuan, these divine essence stones were merely tools to increase his strength.

As they say, money spent returns; he made money too easily.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Before, I only bought third-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and didn't feel much. Now buying these fourth-tier materials, I realize what expensive really means. If I really spent freely, this four hundred billion wouldn't be enough."

Because Ye Yuan was going to attend the auction, he didn't dare to buy recklessly.

Once he broke through to the Divine Lord realm, four hundred billion divine essence stones would be nothing.

Buying some fourth-tier spiritual herbs for research might not even be enough.

After all, when Ye Yuan researched third-tier divine pills, he spent no less than tens of billions of divine essence stones.

And such consumption was unaffordable even for ordinary Divine Lords, let alone Return to Void realm cultivators.

The two were chatting in the inn when Du Mingliang came calling.

"Greetings, Master Ye!" Du Mingliang's attitude toward Ye Yuan was very respectful, and even his address had changed.

This respectful attitude was not feigned at all.

The Void Spirit Divine Pills Ye Yuan had refined had been distributed to a batch of disciples with excellent aptitude in Sword Star Alliance, and the effects were surprisingly good!

Before, they had only heard of Void Spirit Divine Pills but had never seen them or known their effects.

Now, they finally witnessed the terrifying efficacy of Void Spirit Divine Pills.

Zhao Jian was a disciple who had taken the Sun and Moon Divine Pill; he broke through to the Divine Lord realm within three days!

Such a breakthrough speed was simply inconceivable.

Moreover, Zhao Jian himself said that the pill's medicinal power was far from exhausted and would take a long time to digest.

Barring accidents, it could last a hundred years!

By then, breaking through to Divine Lord Third Heaven would be no problem!

How could Li Xing and Du Mingliang not be shocked by such efficacy?

As for the other pills, they also had miraculous effects.

Thus, Du Mingliang was now extremely impressed with Ye Yuan and even more convinced of Li Xing's judgment.

Ye Yuan must be a disciple of some extremely formidable major force; they couldn't afford to offend him!

Of course, there was no need to provoke him either!

Ye Yuan nodded, putting on an air of superiority, and said, "What business do you have with me?"

Du Mingliang said, "Master Ye, the Alliance Leader heard that you intend to attend the Chuanji Auction. He specially instructed me to deliver the auction's Supreme Token to you. With this token, you can enter the auction's Supreme Zone. In addition, our Sword Star Alliance will waive half a percent of the commission for you! Tonight, there are nine tokens in total, and our Sword Star Alliance has three; this is one of them!"

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised. Waiving half a percent of the commission meant a 5% discount.

This was very rare in auctions.

Because these auction items didn't belong to the three major forces; they were obtained by some martial artists and consigned to Tianluo Collection for auction.

Tianluo Collection held auctions and took a cut as a service fee.

Waiving half a percent of the commission meant reducing Tianluo Collection's own profit, which was why Ye Yuan was surprised.

Of course, when actually attending the auction, a few hundred million divine essence stones wouldn't matter.

Most importantly, it was a symbol of status!

Now, there were too many major forces in the city; some external forces even made the three major forces wary.

Yet there were only nine Supreme Tokens, showing how precious they were.

But he didn't show it; he only said calmly, "Alright, I'll accept it. Thank the Alliance Leader for me!"

Du Mingliang quickly said, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Master Ye has been very kind to our Sword Star Alliance; this is just a small token of our gratitude."

Ye Yuan only nodded, acknowledging it.

Having witnessed the terrifying efficacy of the Void Spirit Divine Pills, Sword Star Alliance knew that selling these pills for over ten billion was simply too cheap!

Now, if these pills were put up for auction, let alone three billion, even six billion would have people fighting over them.

One pill creating a Divine Lord Third Heaven powerhouse—what a bargain!

Moreover, Sword Star Alliance should be the biggest beneficiary because they bought two extra pills.

Later, when collecting spiritual herbs, they asked Ye Yuan to refine two more, making a total of four, the most among the three major forces.

A mere half percent commission was really nothing.

When Mu Dong saw Du Mingliang, he was immediately furious.

This guy had beaten him to it again!

This time, Sword Star Alliance had really struck it rich!

Mu Dong, like Du Mingliang, had come to deliver a Supreme Token.

The conditions they offered were the same as Sword Star Alliance's: half a percent commission.

Then, Liu Han also arrived.

All told, Ye Yuan would get a 15% discount.

Combined from the three families, this benefit was considerable.

Of the nine Supreme Tokens, Ye Yuan alone had obtained three!

Saving fifteen billion on something worth a hundred billion—this was no small gesture of sincerity.
