After a long wait, the auction finally reached the final moment that the crowd was eagerly waiting for. It was time to reveal the Fifth Grade Spirit Ascension Pill.
Deng Jiao walked onto the stage with a smile and she gave a casual glance at the crowd and said, "I guess, everyone here waiting for the final item. As I told you guys before, this item was brought to us by a noble guest. We have confirmed the authenticity of the pill, it is a hundred percent authentic pill. Let me present you the final item, a fifth-rank Top Quality Spirit Ascension Pill." Saying that she took out a vial containing a pill inside.
When this was announced, everyone was shocked. They thought that they were hearing things.
In Red Cloud Kingdom, a low fifth-level medicinal pill was already an existence at its peak. Moreover, it was something that could only be found by chance and could not be bought even if one had money.
Although they were both fifth-level, there was a vast difference between a low-grade and a top-grade medicinal pill. A top-quality pill contained almost no impurity. Although both pills were suitable for a ninth-layer Spirit Grandmaster cultivator to consume and could help a cultivator achieve a breakthrough into Spirit Lord as soon as possible, the effect of top quality was many times better than low grade.
"Manger Jiao, you just said Spirit Ascension Pill rather than Spirit Advancement." At this time, a person pointed out.
"You didn't hear it wrong. It is indeed not a spirit advancement pill however; it works better than a spirit advancement pill as it was created from the fifth-rank spirit fruit The Golden Peach Fruit. Let me tell you a piece of important news regarding this pill. This pill can increase one's chance of being promoted to the Spirit Lord Realm by ninety percent. That means, this pill almost guarantees you that you will reach the Spirit Lord Realm on condition that you are at the Peak stage of Spirit Grandmaster."
"What?"
"90 percent success rate! That is ridiculous."
The crowd burst out loudly as various shouts could be heard from all over. Many ridiculed it, saying that the pill was fake.
"Clap!" Quit Please!" At this time, with a clap sound a thunderous shout appeared in the auction. It was loud and powerful; the entire crowd became silent immediately as they looked at the person who shouted just now.
A woman in red standing beside Deng Jiao with a cold expression on her. A strong aura radiated from her, freighting the people who were seating in front.
"It's Phoenix General!"
"My god, her aura is so frightening. has she been promoted to Spirit Lord?"
"It must be! Did she take the pill to promote?" The people exclaimed inwardly as they whispered to each other while peeking at Li Yinzi with a fearful gaze.
"I can vouch for the quality of the pill. It is effective as she said." Li Yinzi glanced at the crowd with cold eyes and spoke icily.
heavy breathing can be heard in the silent auction house, and the crowd looked at the pill in Jiao's hand with passionate gazes.
"Fuck, the imperial clan was one step of ahead of everyone." In a VIP room, a middle-aged looked grim and spoke.
"I should have guessed this. How can the imperial clan let the others surpass them easily? They already have a backup."
Most of the VIP rooms were occupied by the other big clans of the Red Cloud City. A few of them have gloomy expressions after seeing Li Yinzi. They have the long intention of surpassing the royal clan and today an opportunity appeared as well. But it turned out the royal clan hit the jackpot again.
Deng Jiao looked silent crowd and nodded. Taking a step forward, she spoke loudly, "I have already told you about the pill. Now, it is time to start the auction. There is a total of five pills that are going to auction today, we will auction them one by one."
"The first pill! The starting bid is 10,000 spirit stones!" Deng Jiao didn't give the people to create commotion again and started the auction swiftly.
The crowd once again was stunned. This time, it was the number of pills that shocked them. One was already enough to shock the entire kingdom, and now five of them appeared. When did these precious fifth-rank pills become ordinary in the Red Cloud Kingdom?
"20 thousand!"
"30 thousand!"
Just as everyone was in a state of shock, they forgot to bid. Someone made the bid.
"30 Thousand!"
"40 Thousand!"
"50 Thousand!"
"80 Thousand!"...
The people called out the bids one after another. The VIPs have yet to join the bidding.
"I wonder how high this book will go for?"
Discussions broke out amongst the people in the auction house and their anticipation rose. Although the majority of them were all aware that they had no chance of obtaining the pill, only a small chance of obtaining it, a thought sparked in their mind.
What if I get lucky?
...
Shi Tian looked through the window with interest, the real game was about to begin.
"Chengying, tell me about the potential buyers?" Shi Tian asked softly without looking back. If he was going to do business in Red Cloud City in the future, he should know the potential customers of the city.
Changying who was standing behind him nodded.
"Yes sir! The temptation of your pill has brought all the influential people of the city. Miao Clan, Du Clan and Fang Clan (three big clans second to the imperial clan), the alchemist union branch, Holy Unicorn Merchant Union, Silver Jade Merchant Group, and a few others." Changying continued to speak. After a while, Shi Tian had a brief knowledge of Red Cloud City's influential group.
Although this didn't matter to him much, it was better to have some knowledge of your Neighbors. While they were talking, the bidding continued to increase.
150 thousand!
170 thousand!"
200 thousand!"
A hundred thousand was the base price of a fifth-rank pill while this was an extremely rare top-quality pill, it should be able to catch a minimum 6 or 7 hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. It was Shi Tian's estimation. However, he soon realized that he underestimated the value of the pill.
500 thousand!" A VIP finally joined the bidding war followed by the other VIPs. Shi Tian saw that almost all the guests came to the window to bid openly.
Shi Tian was also sitting closer to the window. Everyone's focus was on the stage, nobody paid attention to him. The VIP rooms were built in a C structure. As his room was on the right side, from his angle, he could see almost all VIP rooms.
550,000!"
"Sir, That's Patriarch of Du Clan, Du Wan!" Changying looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting by the window and whispered.
"600,000!" An old man with a sturdy figure shouted in a heavy tone.
"That is the Patriarch of the Miao Clan, Miao Zhong!" Changying spoke again as she continued to tell Shi Tian the identity of the people.
"650,000!" A woman's voice reverted in the auction house, Shi Tian curiously looked over and saw a woman in her thirties who just made the bid.
"Sir, she is the leader of Fang Clan, Fang Qingzhao." Changying immediately pointed out from behind.
"800,000!" At this time, an old man spoke. Seeing the face of the old, many people were surprised.
"That is managers of the alchemy union's branch. He is the most senior alchemist in the kingdom."
"Greeting Senior Wang!"
"Senior Wang, you also came here for the pill. It is surprising." Du Wan looked at the old man and said in surprise. This old man was a fourth-rank alchemist, there are rumors that he was close to promotion due to that he spent most of his time studying alchemy. He appeared himself.
People looked at the old man and greeted him respectfully. The old man nodded at them and said, "Top-quality pills are very rare to refine, this old wanted to study this pill. I wonder which senior refined these pills." The old man was much more interested in the alchemist who refined these pills. To be able to refine top-quality pills, his or her talent in alchemy must be very high. If he could obtain advice or pointers from such a master, he might become a fifth-ranked alchemist sooner.
"We don't know either, the cloud auction house didn't reveal the identity of the alchemist." The people raised their hands in dismay.
When the news of the pill reached to his ear, the old man sent someone to meet Deng Jiao to inquire about the identity of the alchemist master. However, Deng Jiao refused to disclose the name. The old man was highly respected in red cloud city, even the imperial family honored his presence but they still refused.
"800 thousand, is there anyone who wanted to raise the bid?" At this time, Deng Jiao's loud voice reverted in the house.
"850,000!"
Among all voices, Shi Tian finally recognized one voice, it was Li Song's voice. She was sitting in the room next to him, and couldn't see her.
