Chapter 130 The Promise of the Breaking Emperor Pill
Xiao Yan looked at the deep red scroll in his hand, on which faint traces of blazing fire attribute power flowed.
A cultivation technique or a prescription for elixirs is not something that can be created simply by writing.
Instead, it is infused with the power of the soul. Whenever a newcomer reads it, the soul power within it is consumed, and the text is rehearsed in the cultivator's mind and embedded therein.
A brand new Soul Pill formula can generally be used seven or eight times. It is relatively clear before the fifth use, but after the fifth use, the soul power is too consumed and it begins to become incomplete, requiring the cultivator to deduce and calculate it himself.
Once all the annotations are used up, only the literal meanings remain, making it exponentially more difficult to learn.
While the creation and preservation of cultivation techniques are not as demanding as those of alchemy formulas, the higher the level of the technique or combat skill, the fewer times it can be learned, because the creator's soul power may not be comparable to that of an alchemist.
Take, for example, the soul power contained in this Great Flame Collapse Heaven Fist; it's only enough for one cultivation session.
After obtaining the scroll, Xiao Yan immediately began cultivating without saying a word. He unrolled the scroll made from the hide of a sixth-order magical beast and absorbed all the soul power into his mind.
Before Xiao Yan's eyes, he saw a blurry figure, holding his breath and standing in front of a mountain.
Then he quickly gathered his fighting spirit and threw a punch forward. The fighting spirit and the fist wind combined to create a terrifying fiery fist that was tens of feet long. With one strike, he punched a hole in the center of the mountain!
Even a powerful Douhuang's attack would only have an aftershock within a thousand meters. To shatter a mountain, it would require continuous attacks.
However, if one possesses a Rank 1 combat skill, it only takes a few strikes to shatter a mountain, resulting in a dramatic increase in destructive power.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. With his current Dou Wang strength, cultivating Earth-rank Dou Techniques wouldn't take him very long.
Once the scroll in your hand loses its soul power and becomes an ordinary scroll, even a slightly talented person would probably need to ponder for ten years to barely learn how to cultivate it.
With the Earth-rank Dou Technique, Xiao Yan's apparent combat strength remained unchanged, but in reality, if he were to encounter the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King again, he would at least not have to resort to burning his body with strange fire to unleash his skills.
With Xiao Yan having bought the Earth-rank fighting skill, only two items remained in the Heaven-rank auction.
"Then next up is the grand finale of this auction, a sixth-grade pill called the Breaking Emperor Pill."
Breakthrough Emperor Pill!
The mere appearance of these three words has already driven countless people mad.
The so-called Breakthrough Pill, as the name suggests, allows a peak Dou Wang expert to break through to the next level at any time, with a 30% chance of success.
This level of pill belongs to the initial stage of the sixth rank, and only a genuine sixth-rank alchemist can refine it.
Throughout the entire Gama Empire, only Guhe is capable of refining it.
In many cases, its value even surpasses that of the Imperial Pill, which can enhance the cultivation level of a Dou Huang.
After all, the improvement from Dou Wang to Dou Huang is much greater than the improvement of Dou Huang by one or two stars.
Many peak Dou Wang experts are stuck at the Dou Wang realm for their entire lives. If they had this Breaking Emperor Pill, they would have a 30% chance of directly advancing to Dou Huang!
The appearance of this pill attracted the attention of countless powerful figures present. It could be said that most of the guests present today came specifically for this pill.
The mere mention of the pill's name was enough to arouse the envy of everyone present. Among those who came today were several Battle Kings, and their target was none other than this pill.
Even through the private room, Hua Zheng could feel the restlessness of these people.
She smiled slightly and continued, "In my Gama Empire, only Master Guhe has the probability of refining the Breaking Emperor Pill. But unfortunately, this Breaking Emperor Pill was not refined by Master Guhe. Instead, it was consigned to my Mittel Auction House by a mysterious expert."
Hua Zheng's words only made the powerful figures present even more curious, as the origin of this elixir was so mysterious.
"The owner of that elixir did not require gold coins, but rather a promise of soul."
A promise of the soul?
Upon hearing this, the previously enthusiastic bigwigs calmed down a bit.
If this is some kind of heaven-defying promise, then wouldn't I have to be someone else's dog for the rest of my life just for a single pill?
Even if they desperately wanted to become Dou Huang, given their arrogant attitudes, they would never be willing to be bossed around for a mere 30% chance of breaking through to Dou Huang.
"Please rest assured, everyone. The mysterious person has allowed my Mittel Auction House to disclose the contents of this soul promise in advance. It is that within ten years, I will kill one of the main owners of the Shadow Studio, the number one assassin force in the Northwest Continent."
When Hua Zheng uttered those words, everyone present gasped in shock. Kill a head of a photography studio? And within ten years?
The name of the photography studio is well-known throughout the Northwest Continent. They do things for money, they act mysteriously, and they have many experts.
No one knew the real location of the photo studio. All they knew was that to commission a murder from the studio, a blood-red letter of commission and a reward had to be sent and placed at a specific location.
The staff at the photo studio will naturally see that if the studio agrees to accept the commission, they will place a spider lily at the location where the letter is placed, signifying their agreement to accept the commission.
Over the years, the photo studio has killed countless powerful individuals, and its mission completion rate is over 90%!
The most famous commission involved a Dou Huang from the Black Corner Region who, after offending a powerful figure, was offered an exorbitant price to have the Shadow Studio kill him.
The photo studio accepted the commission, and just three days later, the head of that Dou Huang was already placed at the entrance of the client's courtyard.
This incident shocked the entire Northwest Continent. If even a Dou Huang could be assassinated so easily, how terrifying must the photo studio be?
Now, decades have passed since then, and almost the entire Northwest Continent has come to accept it as a genuine Dou Zong (Battle Master) force.
To kill a Grand Master of a Dou Zong faction would take at least ten years. Let alone a Breaking Emperor Pill, even a peak sixth-grade Breaking Sect Pill might not be something anyone would dare to take on.
In an instant, this invaluable elixir became an ominous object despised by everyone.
You should know that the photo studio has spies all over the Northwest continent. If the photo studio finds out that someone dares to accept this commission, it's hard to say who will kill whom.
At least within the Gama Empire, no one dared to make this promise.
"Gentlemen, is there anyone willing to accept this soul-binding promise and obtain this Broken Emperor Pill?"
Hua Zheng called out loudly again. To be honest, if the price of this pill wasn't too high, his Mittel Auction House would have bought it internally long ago, instead of putting it out for sale.
However, after she called out three times, everyone present remained silent, and she felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that this pill was going to go unsold.
"I'll accept this commission."
Just as Hua Zheng was about to announce that the auction had failed, a young voice suddenly came from box number 42.
