In the auction hall.
"Young man, name your price!"
The skinny old man and his two companions rushed into the auction hall. They did not sit on the seats in the hall, nor did they rush into the private rooms on the second floor. Instead, they floated in front of Yu Haoran.
The black-haired old man in black ordered in a frosty voice when he saw Yu Haoran put the Level Two, Grade-One Emperor Yuan Pill back into the pill bottle.
"Seniors!"
In the face of the black-haired, black-clothed old man's frosty command, Yu Haoran did not get angry at all.
"The Level Two, Grade-One Emperor Yuan Pill is the finale item of this auction. All the distinguished guests who enter the auction have a chance to obtain the Emperor Yuan Pill, provided that you beat the other competitors in terms of price.
"Therefore, the three of you can choose to sit in the hall or choose a private room and compete for the Emperor Yuan Pill after the official auction."
The black-haired old man in black was annoyed by Yu Haoran's explanation and reminder. He wanted to snatch the pill away by force, but the skinny old man beside him pulled him back and reminded him through Divine Telekinesis.
"Elder Xing Hai is here!"
After hearing the skinny old man's reminder, the black-haired old man immediately suppressed the displeasure in his heart and turned his head to look at the 36 private rooms on the second floor.
The black-haired old man in black immediately looked at the Earthly Venerable in room number one and saw him take out a silver-white token.
His expression changed when he saw a white-haired old man and a fair child in room number two. He immediately used his Divine Telekinesis to look at room number three.
Although the Zhou Clan, which had been passed down since the Middle Ages, was very powerful, the old monsters who had been living in seclusion for thousands or even tens of thousands of years were invincible as long as Emperor Wu could not awaken for the time being.
Therefore, the black-haired old man in black chose room number three, but the skinny old man shook his head and rejected him. He chose room number eleven directly.
"Apart from Elder Xing Hai, there will be a few more opponents that we can't deal with for the time being. Therefore, we can only choose to be patient for the time being."
The white-haired old man in white robes and the black-haired old man in black nodded after hearing the skinny old man's explanation. They then followed him to room number three.
Right at this moment, the old man in a star robe charged into the auction hall as well.
Turning his head to look at Elder Xing Hai, the three of them did not greet him, nor did they show any hostility. They only retracted their gazes and kicked open the door of the private room.
"Scram!" The black haired and black clothed old man sternly reprimanded the two elders and three disciples of the Miao Family.
As the descendants of the Miao Family, the three of them had been regarded highly since they were young. When had they ever been reprimanded like this? One of them, a monstrous genius whose body and soul power had broken through to the Martial Saint realm angrily stood up and threatened.
"Do you know who we are?"
"Either get lost or die!" The black-haired and black-clothed old man ignored the threat of the Miao Family disciples and stepped into the private room. He looked coldly at the two Martial Revered Elders and threatened them with a frosty voice.
"Senior, please don't be angry. We'll leave now!" Although the black-haired and black-clothed old man did not emit any aura, the two Martial Honorable elders could feel a fatal threat. They quickly stood up and cupped their hands in greeting.
After that, the two Martial Honorable elders immediately brought the three unconvinced elite disciples out of private room number 11.
Xinghai Elder, who was floating in the air of the venue, knew what was going on after seeing the choices of the skinny old man and the other two. He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the venue. Xinghai Elder rushed to the front of Room 9.
"Either get lost or die!"
Elder Xing Hai gave the same choice as the black-haired and black-clothed old man when he faced the Martial Honorable expert in private room number 11.
The owner of private room number 9, who had also sensed Elder Xing Hai's terrifying strength, immediately brought the family's elite disciples to give up the ownership of the private room.
In the following period of time, another four waves of seven terrifying experts appeared in the auction hall. Like the skinny old man and Elder Xing Hai, they chose private rooms number 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 respectively.
After the green-robed old man who chose private room number 5 entered the private room, a full three minutes had passed, but not a single terrifying expert appeared.
Yu Haoran could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, just as he was about to announce the starting price of the Emperor Essence Pill, he suddenly heard a strange laughter.
"Ga ga …!"
Accompanied by the strange laughter, Yu Haoran suddenly felt his palm lighten. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the pill bottle in his hand had disappeared.
"Old man in a flowery robe, leave the Emperor Essence Pill behind!"
Yu Haoran only realized after the pill bottle had been snatched away because his cultivation was too low, his strength was too weak, and Thaling did not have time to remind him.
However, to the eleven terrifying experts in the private room, they immediately rushed out of the private room to chase after the pill bottle had been snatched away.
"Seniors, there's no need to chase." Just as the skinny old man and the other eleven terrifying experts chased to the exit of the auction hall, Yu Haoran, who had come back to his senses, immediately reminded them loudly.
Stopping their pursuit, the skinny old man and the others turned to look at Yu Haoran. They did not understand why he stopped them from chasing after the flower-robed old man who had snatched away the Emperor Essence Pill.
Facing the gaze of the skinny old man and the others, Yu Haoran placed his hands behind his back and exuded a strong sense of confidence.
"Since the ancient era of alchemy was founded, no one has been able to snatch away the pill that belonged to a top alchemist, whether it was personally refined or obtained by accident."
At this point, Yu Haoran withdrew his left hand from behind his back. Suddenly, a pill emitting traces of Emperor's Might appeared in his left palm.
"That's right. It's the second-stage first-grade Emperor Essence Pill in the pill bottle just now."
The familiar smell and Emperor's Might made the skinny old man heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he nodded, confirming that this pill was indeed the one that had been snatched away by the flower-robed old man.
To be able to retrieve the stolen Emperor Essence Pill from the hands of a Third Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Emperor Wu, the eleven Third Tribulation Quasi-Emperor Emperor Wu Realm experts looked at Yu Haoran with a hint of fear in their eyes.
After retrieving the Emperor Essence Pill, Yu Haoran suggested with a smile, "Seniors, please return to your private rooms for the time being. I will now announce the starting bid for the second-stage first-grade Emperor Essence Pill."
Nodding, the skinny old man and the other eleven terrifying experts returned to their private rooms.
However, just as they were about to step into their private rooms, they heard the flower-robed old man's exasperated voice.
"Damn brat, how dare you trick me. See if I don't swallow you alive."
Accompanied by the exasperated threat, a white-haired old man in a colorful robe instantly appeared in the auction hall. He was half handsome and half ugly.
