Chapter 419: Chaos Sword Heart, Quasi-Immortal Realm Tenth Layer

She waved her hand, and a maid walked onto the stage carrying a tray.

On the tray lay a long sword, emanating a sharp Sword Qi.

"Medium Grade Immortal Rank Magic Treasure, Cloud-Breaking Sword."

"The starting bid is ten thousand high-grade immortal crystals, with each increment no less than one thousand."

No sooner had she finished speaking than someone immediately placed a bid.

"Eleven thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

The price climbed rapidly.

It was finally sold for thirty-five thousand high-grade immortal crystals.

The subsequent auction items appeared one after another.

Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, Spirit Medicines, Magic Treasures…

Everything one could desire was there.

Zhou Chen did not make a move, waiting quietly.

The item he wanted had not yet appeared.

Finally, the twenty-eighth lot was brought out.

It was a fist-sized purple crystal, emitting mysterious fluctuations.

"High Grade Immortal Rank Spirit Material, Zi Xiao Sword Heart."

The woman in the red dress's voice was filled with excitement: "For a Sword Cultivator, this item is worth a fortune."

"Refining it into one's natal Flying Sword can enhance insights into the Dao of the sword and increase the power of Sword Intent."

"The starting bid is one hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, with each increment no less than ten thousand."

The entire venue instantly became restless.

A High Grade Immortal Rank Spirit Material was indeed rare.

From the private room where Lin Tian was located, a voice rang out immediately.

"One hundred and ten thousand."

His voice was calm, conveying a sense of determination to win.

Hearing this price, others began to hesitate.

One hundred and ten thousand high-grade immortal crystals was already quite high.

Just then, Zhou Chen's voice sounded.

"Two hundred thousand."

The entire venue fell silent.

Everyone looked toward the private room on the third floor.

Who was this?

So extravagant with their spending?

Lin Tian's expression changed slightly.

He had not expected anyone to bid against him.

"Two hundred and ten thousand."

He gritted his teeth and increased the bid.

Zhou Chen smiled.

"Three hundred thousand."

Lin Tian's expression darkened completely.

Three hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals already exceeded his budget.

He only had a total of two hundred and fifty thousand Immortal Crystals on him.

He had originally planned to reserve some Immortal Crystals to bid for the Three-Pure Yellow Lotus Pill after securing the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

Now it seemed he would have to choose one or the other.

Lin Tian took a deep breath.

"Three hundred and ten thousand."

He decided to go all in.

Zhou Chen's voice sounded once again.

"Five hundred thousand."

Lin Tian's face instantly turned ashen.

Five hundred thousand?

Was this person crazy?

The whole venue went quiet.

Five hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals was far beyond the normal value of the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

No one else followed with a bid.

Seeing this, the woman in the red dress said loudly: "Five hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going once!"

"Five hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going twice!"

"Five hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going three times!"

"Sold!"

Zhou Chen stood up, walked outside the private room, and took the Zi Xiao Sword Heart handed over by the maid.

He paid the Immortal Crystals and stored the crystal into his System space.

［Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting Lin Tian's Opportunity!］

［Triggered a hundredfold critical return!］

［Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Top-Grade Immortal Rank Spirit Material, Chaos Sword Heart!］

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up.

Chaos Sword Heart?

This was a supreme treasure a hundred times more precious than the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

Not only could it improve insights into the Dao of the sword, but it could also refine Chaos Qi and strengthen one's Physique.

Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction.

This interception felt great.

The auction continued.

Soon, the thirtieth lot appeared.

It was a jade bottle containing three Medicinal Pills emitting a faint glow.

"High Grade Immortal Rank Medicinal Pill, Three-Pure Yellow Lotus Pill."

The woman in the red dress introduced: "After consumption, it can help a Quasi-Immortal Realm Cultivator break through one layer of their Realm, has no side effects, cleanses the marrow and strengthens the bones, and can even slightly increase the chance of breaking through to the True Immortal Realm."

"The starting bid is two hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, with each increment no less than twenty thousand."

From Lin Tian's private room, a voice sounded again.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand."

His voice was filled with exhaustion.

He had already spent all his Immortal Crystals just now to bid for the Zi Xiao Sword Heart.

Now he could barely scrape together two hundred and twenty thousand.

Zhou Chen's voice sounded again.

"Four hundred thousand."

Lin Tian's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Four hundred thousand?

He couldn't come up with that at all.

"Four hundred and twenty thousand."

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and took out a Magic Treasure to pledge as collateral.

Zhou Chen smiled.

"Six hundred thousand."

Lin Tian was completely stunned.

Six hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals—even if he sold all his possessions, he couldn't gather that much.

He sat in the private room, his expression terrifyingly gloomy.

"Damn it…"

"Who exactly is it?"

"Why must you go against me?"

Lin Tian's heart was filled with anger and resentment.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the woman in the red dress said loudly: "Six hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going once!"

"Six hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going twice!"

"Six hundred thousand high-grade immortal crystals, going three times!"

"Sold!"

Zhou Chen paid the Immortal Crystals again and received the Three-Pure Yellow Lotus Pill.

［Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting Lin Tian's Opportunity!］

［Triggered a hundredfold critical return!］

［Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Three Top-Grade Immortal Rank Medicinal Pills, Heaven Origin Three-Pure Pills!］

A flash of joy appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes.

The Heaven Origin Three-Pure Pills could not only help with breaking through Realms but also consolidate one's Foundation, improve potential, and provide a chance to awaken a special Physique.

The most bugged feature was that within the Quasi-Immortal Realm, they could be used cumulatively.

The effect was countless times stronger than the ordinary Three-Pure Yellow Lotus Pill.

After the auction ended.

Zhou Chen walked out of the private room, preparing to leave the auction house.

Just then, a figure blocked his path.

It was none other than Lin Tian.

"Your Excellency."

Lin Tian's expression was gloomy: "I wonder why you insist on going against me?"

At this moment, Zhou Chen had long since changed his appearance, and Lin Tian could not recognize him at all.

Zhou Chen looked at him and said indifferently: "Going against you?"

"I was merely bidding normally."

"Could it be that at an auction, others are not allowed to place bids?"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth: "You knew full well that those two items were very important to me."

"Yet you deliberately drove up the price."

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Zhou Chen smiled.

"What am I trying to do?"

"I just thought those two items were quite good, so I bought them."

"As for you…"

He looked at Lin Tian: "What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Tian's face turned livid.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Fine."

"Your Excellency is impressive."

"However…"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "If there is a chance in the future, I will certainly seek advice."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Zhou Chen watched his back and shook his head with a smile.

This Lin Tian really didn't have a stable state of mind.

To lose his composure like this after suffering only a minor setback.

No wonder he could only stop at the Immortal King Realm.

Zhou Chen didn't dwell on it further and turned to leave the auction house.

He found a secluded spot and took out a Heaven Origin Three-Pure Pill.

Without hesitation, he swallowed one immediately.

Terrifying medicinal power erupted within his body instantly.

Zhou Chen hurriedly circulated the Zixia Immortal Scripture, guiding this force.

The medicinal power turned into a rolling heat flow, impacting the Bottleneck of the eighth layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

Crack—

The Bottleneck was instantly broken through.

Zhou Chen's cultivation broke through to the ninth layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

He did not stop and swallowed the second Heaven Origin Three-Pure Pill.

Boom—

Even more terrifying medicinal power erupted.

The Immortal Spiritual Power within Zhou Chen's body circulated crazily, impacting the Bottleneck of the ninth layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

Crack—

The Bottleneck was broken through again.

Zhou Chen's cultivation broke through to the tenth layer of the Quasi-Immortal Realm!

Any higher, and it would be the True Immortal Realm.

However, before that, he still needed to refine the true immortal tribulation crossing pill.

The true immortal tribulation crossing pill is a Top-Grade Immortal Rank Medicinal Pill that helps Quasi-Immortal Realm Cultivators survive the Heavenly Tribulation and break through to the True Immortal Realm, and the Materials for refining it are also rare and hard to come by.
