In the auction hall.
Bian Shengrui comforted Yu Haoran with a smile on his face when he heard his apology.
"Prince Consort, the rule of auctioning the nine treasures is something that I, Bian Shengrui, adhere to personally. You don't have to follow this rule at all. You can auction as many treasures as you want."
"Thank you for your understanding, Great Elder!"
After thanking him, Yu Haoran slowly opened his eyes. He then took out an ancient pill bottle from his Storage Ring. He opened the pill bottle and poured out a pill that gave off an aura of vicissitudes.
"This is a rank two, rank one Longevity Pill that can extend one's lifespan by 3,000 years."
The Quasi-Martial Honorables in the hall who were proficient in alchemy immediately identified the origin of the pill in Yu Haoran's hand after sensing the aura of vicissitudes from the pill.
Although they already knew that one of the nine treasures that Yu Haoran was auctioning was a top pill that could extend one's lifespan, the people who participated in the auction were still suspicious.
After all, although there was no lack of pills and treasures that could extend one's lifespan in the Tianxuan Continent, a rank two, rank one Longevity Pill that could directly extend one's lifespan by 3,000 years had not appeared for millions of years.
Therefore, after seeing Yu Haoran take out the Life Essence Pill and hearing the cries of the independent alchemists, the atmosphere became even more silent, and there was even a trace of oppression in the silence.
"Senior, you are right. The pill in my hand is indeed a rank two, rank one Longevity Pill that can directly extend one's lifespan by 3,000 years."
Yu Haoran nodded at the Rogue Cultivator who had pointed out the origin of the pill and put it back into the pill bottle. He smiled and announced the starting price for the rank two, rank one Longevity Pill.
"The starting price for the rank two, rank one Longevity Pill is 300 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians. The starting price for each auction cannot be less than 10 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians. At the same time, no Spiritual Stones of any grade will be accepted."
"The auction for the rank two, rank one Longevity Pill will now begin!"
What was different from the previous auctions was that after Yu Haoran announced the auction, there was no sound of bidding. Instead, it became even quieter. They could even clearly hear some people's heartbeats.
Yu Haoran was not in a hurry. He stood on the high platform and waited quietly for the first person to break the silence.
"400 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians."
Along with the sound of bidding from the fifth private room, the silence was broken in an instant. The price of the second-stage first-grade Life Essence Elixir shot up like a rocket, surpassing the limit of ordinary sects and families in the hall. Soon, it broke through the barrier of 600 spiritual veins.
However, even after breaking through the 600 spirit veins mark, the rising price only slowed down a little. It still continued to set auction records with the price of 10 to 20 spirit veins.
"800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians.
When the price reached 750 Spiritual Meridians, the Earthly Venerable in Room No.1. He suddenly increased the price by 50 Spiritual Meridians. After shocking everyone present, he pushed open the door of the room and appeared in the corridor on the second floor.
"The rank two, rank one Longevity Pill is something that the Yuxu Temple must obtain. I now swear on behalf of the Celestial Venerable and the Human Venerable that if any top sects or families with thousands of years of history continue to compete with me for the Longevity Pill, it will be an official declaration of war against the Yuxu Temple."
"After this, I will personally lead countless experts of the Yuxu Temple to kill every person, beast, flower, and grass in their faction."
After hearing the Earthly Venerable Master's murderous vow, the experts in the private rooms swallowed back the price they were about to offer. Then, they looked at the Earthly Venerable standing in the corridor with gloomy faces.
They had never thought that the Earthly Venerable would fight to the death to bid for the rank two, rank one Longevity Pill. Even Zhou Family's Patriarch, who was not afraid of the Yuxu Temple, had to remain silent.
After all, the sleeping ancestors of the Zhou Family had not truly awakened. It was not suitable for them to have a large-scale conflict with the Yuxu Temple for the time being.
Yu Haoran's face also darkened as he looked at the arrogant Earthly Venerable standing in the corridor.
Although he had already guessed that the Earthly Venerable would resort to all sorts of underhanded means to obtain the Life Essence Pill, he had not expected the Earthly Venerable to use the method of declaring war to force everyone present to give up the bidding for the Life Essence Pill.
His original estimate of the Longevity Pill's price exceeding 1,000 Spiritual Meridians had to be reduced to 800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians.
Although he was angry, Yu Haoran had no way to deal with the Earthly Venerable's declaration of war and swearing an oath.
Now, he could only hope that the old monsters hiding in the void above the auction would not be able to resist the fatal attraction of the Longevity Pill and would choose to participate in the auction in the end.
Unfortunately, after waiting for nearly three minutes, the old monsters hiding in the void did not make a move.
Yu Haoran had no choice but to start the countdown for the Longevity Pill's auction.
"800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians, going once!"
After 30 seconds, the scene was still silent. Yu Haoran continued to count down.
"800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians, going twice!"
After waiting for nearly a minute, no one broke the deadlock created by the Earthly Venerable at the crucial moment. Yu Haoran could only shake his head in disappointment and announce the final owner of the Longevity Pill.
"800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians, going thrice!"
"I now announce that the Level Two, Grade One Longevity Pill will be sold to the Yuxu Temple's Earthly Venerable at the price of 800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians."
Seeing that Yu Haoran did not use any tricks to disrupt the announcement of the final owner of the Longevity Pill, the Earthly Venerable, who was ready to shed all pretense of cordiality, and the two Martial Venerables in the private room were completely stunned.
They did not expect that Yu Haoran, who was never willing to suffer losses, would finally succumb to the threat of the Earthly Venerable's declaration of war and swearing an oath.
"Earthly Venerable, Spiritual Meridians!" Yu Haoran reminded the Earthly Venerable with a cold expression as he used the method of wrapping Spiritual Meridians to wrap the bottle with Spiritual Meridians and send it to him.
The Earthly Venerable immediately sorted out the 800 Lower Rank Nine Spiritual Meridians and sent them to Yu Haoran using the same method. Then, both of them put away their storage devices and bottles at the same time.
Seeing that Yu Haoran and the Earthly Venerable had successfully completed the transaction, the people in the hall and the experts in the private room could not help but sigh. Then, they stood up and planned to leave the auction venue.
"Cough!"
However, at this moment, they suddenly heard Yu Haoran's soft cough, which was condensed using Spiritual Meridians.
