Lin Yi was startled by the sudden screams. Honest Chai, on the other hand, was as steady as Mount Tai, as if he was prepared for this. He turned around and smiled, "From the moment you took out the Beauty Pill, I knew this would happen. Women are creatures that cannot be explained with logic. As long as the Beauty Pill is placed in front of them, no matter their age or strength, not a single person would be able to resist!"
Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, speechless. He'd thought that only women like Yang Qianxue, whose face was ruined, would be so obsessed with the beauty elixir. He didn't think that all women were like this. No wonder Ning Xuefei couldn't let go of the beauty elixir when she first got it. It was like a woman's life.
After the screams subsided, the white-bearded elder continued to announce, "One high grade Beauty Pill, starting price 3 million spiritual jades!"
It was also a high grade Seventh Grade Pill, but the starting price was a whole 1,200,000 spiritual jades higher than the Great Revitalizing Pill. It couldn't be helped, this was the classic case of rare things being expensive.
In terms of practicality, the Seventh Grade Great Revitalizing Pill was much more useful than the Beauty Pill. Unfortunately, it couldn't make women go crazy like the Beauty Pill. Lin Yi finally understood, no matter where he went, it was still women's money that was the easiest to earn!
As soon as the white-bearded old man's voice faded, bids were immediately called out one after another. At this time, spiritual jades were no longer spiritual jades, but just a simple number. Women were absolutely unreasonable at this time. In just a short period of time, the price had already reached an extremely exaggerated nine million, far surpassing the transaction price of the Seventh Grade Great Revitalizing Pill just now!
Lin Yi was tongue-tied. In his heart, he made up his mind that if he ever lacked spiritual jades in the future, he wouldn't need to do anything. He could just casually concoct a few Beauty Pills and he would be able to easily earn tens of millions of spiritual jades.
Among them, other than VIP Box 1, all of the VIP Boxes that were ranked at the top had made their bids. Even VIP Box 3, who had never spoken before, was no exception. However, VIP Box 3's voice was that of a woman, while the other VIP Boxes were all male voices.
Of course, since they were bidding for this Beauty Pill, it was definitely for women. Unless they were psychopaths, ordinary men would not use this kind of thing.
Lin Yi paid special attention to room number three. The voice that had just spoken was hollow and hollow, and it was obvious that it had used some kind of voice changing technique. However, combined with the ranking of room three, Lin Yi subconsciously associated it with the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea.
After all, as one of the three giants of the Morning Star Academy, if the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea were to personally participate, it would not be strange for her to be allocated box 3. However, Lin Yi could only guess. Before seeing the true face of the person inside, he could not come to a conclusion.
However, upon closer thought, while the Beauty Pill could drive all women mad, surely the Divine Nun of the East Sea's cultivation and temperament could not be immune to it, right?
However, Box 3 had only opened its mouth once, and did not make another bid. It was not as crazy as the others, and had only dabbled in it. Therefore, it was not impossible to say that the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea was sitting inside.
In the end, the high-grade beauty pill was sold at a price of 9.5 million spirit jades, falling into the hands of booth number four. Such a sky-high price was unprecedented. Not to mention this auction, even if all the previous Morning Star auctions were to be added together, this would definitely be one of the best.
When the dust finally settled, all the women present were heartbroken. To them, missing out on the opportunity to obtain the Beauty Pill was like losing their lover. They could only blame themselves for not having enough spirit jades on hand. Such an exaggerated figure of less than 10 million was not something that could be taken out by any ordinary organisation. They needed to hug onto a sufficiently thick thigh.
"Next up is the Hong Merchant Association's fourth auction item, and also the last item of today's auction. Five Profound Thunder Pills of high quality!" The white-bearded elder announced at the end.
The crowd was in an uproar. This commotion was even more shocking than when the Beauty Pill had appeared. Earlier, it was just the women who had gone mad, but this time, it was simply everyone's hair standing on end.
What kind of Merchant Association was this, to actually be able to take out high-grade Profound Thunder Pills, and five of them in one go?!
One had to know that the Profound Thunder Pill was the rarest seventh-grade pill in any Golden Step Academy in the East Continent.
After all, all the Golden Step Academy disciples had a common goal, and that was to break through to the Profound Ascension realm. Only after that could they advance to the Profound Sea Region, and the Profound Thunder Pill was a must for everyone to break through to the Profound Ascension realm. No matter how talented you were, you could not do without it.
Everyone knew that any large Chamber of Commerce's high-grade pills, especially the seventh-grade pills, most of them came from the alchemists of the various academies. Although each of them had some other ways, they were far from being comparable to the alchemists of these academies.
This was because the existence of a seventh-grade alchemist could only appear in one place in the East Continent, and that was the various academies. Only those academies could truly afford to provide for these seventh-grade alchemists, and other places simply could not keep them.
But this time, the Hong Merchant Association did not rely on the alchemists of the academies, and could obtain such a high-grade supply of pills by themselves. Each pill was more frightening than the last, and they could even take out five Profound Thunder Pills in one go. This was simply heaven-defying!
Seeing the explosive reaction from the crowd, even the usually mild-tempered Honest Chai became excited. If it wasn't for his image as the shopkeeper of a branch, he would have danced with joy in celebration.
"Your strategy was indeed correct. We don't need a lot of good things, four is enough!" Honest Chai looked at Lin Yi with a face full of admiration.
According to his original plan, other than the pills that Lin Yi had refined at the last minute, he also wanted to add the items that he had prepared for the auction. However, it was rejected by a single sentence from Lin Yi. Although the items that they had prepared seemed rare, everyone could obtain them. Adding them would only lower their own status.
"Hehe, instead of using those useless items to lower our status, we might as well use these four. This way, we can build up our reputation and leave a deep impression on others." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
If the previous auction was considered intense, then this time, with the temptation of five high-grade Profound Thunder Pills, the entire scene was as crazy as a war!
