In the end, the remaining two Face Stabilizing Pills were both sold at the price of thirty Spirit Crystal Stones each.
The other female disciples who failed to compete gritted their teeth in anger, regretting the Spirit Crystal Stones they spent in their past cultivation. If they had saved more, perhaps today they could have snatched one of the Face Stabilizing Pills.
The two pills were sold for a total of sixty Spirit Crystal Stones, and with the ten from Saint Venerable Zixia, it added up to seventy.
This figure completely exceeded Ji Chen's expectations.
Initially, he anticipated that the three Face Stabilizing Pills tonight would fetch around forty to fifty Spirit Crystal Stones, which would already be beyond his expectation.
Moreover, this was undoubtedly the highlight of the sales tonight.
In Ji Chen's view, none of the elixirs tonight could have sparked such a rush.
As expected, he soon took out the second elixir to sell.
It was the Myriad Calamities Pill.
Compared to the crazy bidding from the female disciples earlier, the price increase of the Myriad Calamities Pill seemed rather unremarkable.
Starting at one Spirit Crystal Stone, after much bidding, it only climbed to ten, and eventually, the price of one Myriad Calamities Pill was set at approximately fifteen Spirit Crystal Stones, with all three sold out.
The prices of the subsequent other elixirs were similar, with some even selling for only four or five Spirit Crystal Stones.
However, overall, the smoothness of tonight's sales event had completely exceeded Ji Chen and others' expectations.
After settling accounts, Ji Chen found that just from this sales event, he had earned nearly two hundred Spirit Crystal Stones!
He kept a hundred for himself, and the remaining hundred were taken out, with part used for the operation of the Dao Dust Pavilion, and another part distributed to people like Huang Shuying, each receiving two stones.
"We shall hold a sales event every month moving forward, but unlike tonight, for popular elixirs like the Face Stabilizing Pill and the Myriad Calamities Pill, we will only sell one each time. After all, rarity makes things precious; if we sell too many, it won't be valuable anymore."
In the back hall, Ji Chen and people like Huang Shuyue, Gu Hao and others sat around, discussing the future development of the Dao Dust Pavilion and other matters.
"Through this event, the Dao Dust Pavilion's name has been established; it remains to be seen whether it can attract some people to join," said Si Ruyan.
"The matter of recruitment is up to you, but remember, one must be prudent. Not just anyone can join randomly; at least, their character must not have any issues," Ji Chen reminded.
During tonight's discussion, they also appointed various 'Elders'.
Ning Bufan, Si Ruyan, Huang Shuying, and Ape Prince, among Daoxuan's young kings, over ten in total, all were appointed as Elders of the Dao Dust Pavilion, having decision-making power.
"By the way, I heard the Celestial Emperor's Mansion will soon hold a trial. The specific content is not yet clear, but the rewards are very rich," after the discussion ended, everyone did not disperse but instead began to chat idly.
Li Yiran said, "I've also heard a bit. This so-called trial is held every five years, but the way it is conducted is different each time. This time it seems to be taking place in some Ancient Ruins, and it is said that each trial is fiercely competitive. If anyone is interested in participating, they must be mentally prepared."
"When is this trial taking place?" Ji Chen asked.
"From what I've gathered, if the information is accurate, it should be in half a month," Si Ruyan said.
...
Late at night, Ji Chen returned to Qixian Residence.
He did not rest but sat cross-legged in the courtyard, taking out the Spirit Crystal Stones earned at tonight's sales to absorb and cultivate.
"With so many Spirit Crystal Stones, it should be enough for me to break through to the Void Realm."
After musing to himself, Ji Chen no longer hesitated and quickly closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation.
The development of the Dao Dust Pavilion was going smoothly. In the days following the sales event, many large and small matters began to get on track.
Of course, these matters were managed by Si Ruyan and others, while Ji Chen spent most of his time cultivating.
Everyone knew that he was about to break through to the Void Realm, so they did not come to disturb him.
"Buzz…"
That night, disciples from each peak were all cultivating as usual, while some were playing in Celestial Emperor City.
Suddenly, a surge of energy transmitted from the direction of Spirit Peak, and in the next moment, everyone felt a terrifying pressure descending.
Almost without needing to be prompted, everyone's gaze turned towards Spirit Peak.
Only to see an endless sea of clouds churning in that void, like a storm about to hit, thunderclouds appeared, shrouding the entire sky above Spirit Peak.
"Has someone broken through?"
"What terrifying might, and it hasn't even descended yet but already causes such a spectacle!"
"The intensity of this pressure… Could it be that someone is about to break through to the Saint Realm?"
Many people started discussing this phenomenon, and everyone in the peaks of the Celestial Emperor's Mansion and in Celestial Emperor City noticed the events occurring in the direction of Spirit Peak.
In a place like the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, where the talented gather like clouds, breakthroughs happen nearly every day, but a Celestial Tribulation only appears when breaking through a significant Realm.
And such events occur several times a month.
However, breakthroughs like these are normally of people advancing from the Celestial Essence Realm to the Void Realm, not someone about to affirm their path to the Saint Realm.
Such an event, even within the Celestial Emperor's Mansion, is exceptionally rare.
Therefore, the sudden descent of a Celestial Tribulation toward Spirit Peak, with such intense pressure, naturally drew the attention of countless people.
"No, it doesn't seem to be a Saint Tribulation; is it someone breaking through to the Void Realm?" soon someone noticed something.
The terror of a Saint Tribulation is certainly far beyond this.
However, if it is the tribulation of breaking through to the Void Realm, then the strength of this tribulation seems to exceed expectations.
"Buzz buzz buzz…"
And while people were discussing, in the direction of Spirit Peak, the rolling sea of clouds in the void had already brewed to a terrifying degree, causing the space to tremble incessantly, as if thunder could fall at any moment.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure in white soared into the sky, appearing in everyone's sight.
"It's Ji Chen!"
"It really is a Void Realm tribulation; he's about to break through the Void Realm!"
Someone was surprised, recognizing the identity of the man in white.
Previously, when he defeated Ghost Sword and during the sales event at the Dao Dust Pavilion, many had seen him before, so at this moment, it was natural for them to recognize him at a glance.
"Finally, he's about to break through…"
At Star Peak, Dao Peak, and Celestial Peak, Ning Peak and other directions, Si Ruyan, Ning Bufan and others were also observing the happenings over at Spirit Peak.
Upon learning the person breaking through was indeed Ji Chen, all their faces showed an excited expression.
This means that once the breakthrough succeeds, Ji Chen will become a Void Realm expert, and with his body already being Saint level, his combat power will rise to a terrifying level.
