Chapter 696 - Auctioning the Pills (2/2)

However, the financial resources of these small families were still limited and after three rounds of bidding, the three Energy-gathering Pills were bought by the Yan, Wei, and Chu families at the price of 30 million, 50 million and 80 million. The three elixirs had been sold for a total of 160 million yuan.

Wu Mufeng almost went crazy. “Is this just a pill? Why is it so valuable? It’s not made of gold!”

The auction of the Spirit Culturing Pill started before he even calmed down.

The auction for the first pill began. The starting price was still 100,000 yuan according to the instruction given by Qin Haodong. As soon as the auctioneer announced the start, Chu Xuanming immediately offered a price of 100 million yuan.

He followed Wei Bingsheng’s example and tried to scare the others away by offering a sky-high price and then got the pill at the lowest price.

Unluckily, he underestimated the attraction of the Spirit Culturing Pill. Both he and Wei Bingsheng were grandmasters at the sixth level and they had been stuck at that stage for nearly eight years. They would not give up so easily.

“I’ll offer 150 million yuan.”

“I’ll offer 200 million yuan…”

Before Chu Xuanming announced the price, Yan Zicheng had already offered a price of 200 million yuan. He had just contacted the head of the family, Yan Fengwu and they had decided to get one pill no matter how expensive it was.

Chu Xuanming was very smart. He knew that it would not work and the price would go higher.

He asked the bodyguards to secretly communicate with Yan Zicheng and Wei Bingsheng. The three of them would give way to each other and they could get one pill each. Even so, the final price of the three pills reached one billion yuan in total.

His tactic was originally banned here. But the workers here dared not to offend the three major families and they also made a big profit. So Wu Mufeng just ignored their little tricks.

Finally, the auction of the pills ended. Members of the small families did not get any pill at all. They felt regretful and envious, but they could do nothing about it with their limited financial resources.

In the private room, Wei Yanran was stunned. She had never thought that these pills would be so valuable. They had earned billions of yuan in a short period of time. Her personal fortune of tens of millions of yuan was nothing compared to it.

Who was this man? He was amazing and how could he make so much money in such a short time?

Hua Mingrui was also very surprised. Originally, she wanted Qin Haodong to draw paintings and sell them. She thought that it was a good idea, but she didn’t expect that these pills were more valuable than his paintings.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened and Wu Mufeng came in from outside. He was excited and ecstatic.

“Mr. Qin, your pills have all been sold for a total of 1,173.15 million yuan. The auction house will be charging twenty percent as the service fee, but I’ll give you a discount and you can get one billion. What do you think? Do you want cash? We can also transfer the money to you.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “This is Lin Momo’s account. Please put the money into this account.”

“Okay, no problem. It will be done in a minute.”

Wu Mufeng turned around and asked the staff behind him to handle it. One billion yuan was soon transferred into Lin Momo’s account.

“Mr. Qin, I must go now.”

“Wait a minute.”

Wu Mufeng turned around and was about to leave, but Qin Haodong stopped him. He asked politely, “Mr. Qin, what’s the problem?”

Qin Haodong took out a small cloth bag, handed it to Wu Mufeng and said, “I have 10 Big Strengthening Pills, 10 Energy-gathering Pills, 10 Spirit Culturing Pills. Please tell the audience about this now.”

“But remember, don’t sell them right now. Please auction these pills after selling all the other items.”

“I know, Mr. Qin.”

Wu Mufeng took the pills carefully and counted them one by one. He didn’t dare to look down on these things now. Each and every one was valuable and he had to make sure that everything was fine.

At this time, Qin Haodong took out a small jade bottle and handed it to him. “This is a Sacred Elixir. It can help a ninth-grade grand master increase the chances of success by 50 percent when he is breaking through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm. The starting price is 500 million yuan!”

“500 million yuan!”

Wu Mufeng took the pill and was astonished by the starting price. He nearly dropped the pill to the ground.

“Mr. Qin, are you sure?”

Although he was an experienced worker at the largest auction house in the capital, he had never seen an item with the starting price of 500 million yuan.

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Manager Wu, just do what I say. If nobody wants to buy it, I’ll take full responsibility.”

“Okay, I got it, Mr. Qin.”

Through the previous auction, Wu Mufeng had great confidence in Qin Haodong now, He left with the pills.

Soon, he stood on the auction platform and took over the microphone from the auctioneer. He announced that after the other items were auctioned, there would be another batch of pills. Except for the three kinds of pills, there was also one Sacred Elixir, which was the most expensive among the lot.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the audience became excited. Many just ignored the following auction and took out their mobile phones to make phone calls.
