Chapter 696 - Auctioning the Pills (1/2)
Chu Xuanming had recently failed in his attempt to buy pills from Qin Haodong and he did not expect to find the Spirit Culturing Pill at the auction.
He did not expect that the pills had been made by Qin Haodong. He thought bitterly, “I knew that ignorant boy was not able to make Spirit Culturing Pill at such a young age. It turns out that he also bought them from someone else.”
“I will definitely get the pill today and improve my cultivation. Let’s see what you will say to that.”
He was eager to get the pill, but Chu, who was shrewd and cunning, suppressed his impulse.
So he decided to get his bodyguards to test the low-level Big Strengthening Pill to see if it really worked.
Yan Zicheng, who was not far away from him, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard about the Energy-gathering Pill. His aunt, Yan Feifei once mentioned that the pill left by the master was called Energy-gathering Pill, which was effective for their cultivation.
The Energy-gathering Pill left by the master also helped him to break through the bottleneck of the Holy Stage.
However, Yan Feifei did not have many Energy-gathering Pills and there was only enough for her alone. Other members of the Yan family were also eager to take it, but all of them failed to get it.
He did not expect that he would see the Energy-gathering Pill in today’s auction. If the pill was real, he would get it no matter how expensive it was.
What made him even more excited was that the Spirit Culturing Pill, which was even better than the Energy-gathering Pill, would also be auctioned today. If he got it and gave it to his grandfather as a gift, he would definitely be praised and the reward would be beyond his imagination.
Apart from Chu Xuanming and Yan Zicheng, the others were also eager to have a try. After all, the pills that could improve their cultivation were so rare that they could not even see them in daily life.
The auctioneer began to sell the pills, “Ladies and gentlemen! The first one to be auctioned is the Big Strengthening Pill. The starting price is 100,000 yuan and each increase will be no less than 10,000 yuan. Please seize this opportunity and let’s get started!”
Wu Mufeng was a little nervous and his body tensed. After all, he did not get permission before selling those pills. If he failed to sell them, the reputation of the auction house would definitely be affected and the Boss might even blame him for that.
However, as soon as the auctioneer announced the starting price, someone immediately shouted, “I’ll offer 150,000 yuan…”
Wu Mufeng was relieved. He turned around and saw Chu Xuanming holding his bidding number card high.
As the second young master of the Chu family, Chu Xuanming was very well known in the capital. The other members of the audience remained silent after his bid. On the one hand, they did not want to compete with the Chu family, on the other hand, they wanted to see the effect of the pill first.
There were no other bids, so after repeating the bid three times, the auctioneer knocked the auction hammer and handed the Big Strengthening Pill to Chu Xuanming.
Chu Xuanming took it and opened the lid of the small jade bottle. He immediately smelled the fragrance of the pill and as a supreme power master, he realized that it was really an excellent pill.
However, for the sake of security, he handed the pill to the bodyguard standing next to him and said, “Take it and let me see the effects.”
His bodyguard was a warrior at the fifth level of Covert Power, who was also somewhat suspicious of the pill. But he had no choice but to follow the order and have a try. He followed the auctioneer to the front stage and swallowed the pill.
The auction went on. After the auctioneer sold the other two items, the bodyguards suddenly let out a clear roar, and then his momentum greatly improved. He had reached the higher stage!
It had taken him only 10 minutes to reach the sixth level of Covert Power.
The bodyguard jumped down from the stage, rushed excitedly to Chu Xuanming and shouted, “Boss, I’ve already broken through. The pill is amazing!”
“Well done! You’ll be rewarded after we get back!”
Chu Xuanming was ecstatic. It seemed that the pill was real. If he got the Spirit Culturing Pill, he would not lose out to his eldest brother, Chu Xuanli, and he might even win the favor of Chu Shanhe, the master of their family.
Apart from him, all the attention of the warriors present was focused on the bodyguard. They were excited after seeing that he really made a breakthrough.
It was difficult to make any progress as a warrior and it might even take them more than several decades to reach the next level. But the pill could achieve this within ten minutes! Everyone was eager to get it!
“Hurry up and sell the pill. Put the rest of the items aside…”
Amid the cries from many of the warriors, the auctioneer had to stop the auction of the other items and continued to sell the other two Energy-gathering Pills.
“I’ll pay 5 million yuan!”
As soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, someone directly offered a sky-high price of five million yuan!
Many warriors were ready to compete for the pill, but all of them were astonished by the price. They turned around and found that it was Wei Bingsheng from the Wei family,
Qin Haodong nodded slightly. This man was quite decisive. It seemed that he had offered an extremely high price, but he had taken great advantage of it.
Everyone present was excited now and the final price had to be higher than 5 million yuan if they offered the price, one by one.
After repeating three times, the auctioneer knocked the hammer and sold the second Big Strengthening Pill to Wei Bingsheng at the price of five million yuan.
Then came the auction of the third Big Strengthening Pill. As Qin Haodong had expected, people offered higher prices one by one and finally Yan Zicheng bought it at the price of 8 million yuan.
Seeing that the three pills had been sold for more than 10 million yuan in total, Wu Mufeng was happy and excited. Based on the commission rate of 20%, the auction house could make a fortune tonight.
Moreover, these were only three of the cheapest pills. When the remaining pills were sold, they would earn a larger amount of money.
Next, the auctioneer began to sell the Energy-gathering Pill. The warriors were even more excited at the sight of these elixirs that could improve the cultivation of supreme power masters. They all tried their best to bid for it.
