< Today's first update! >
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out, "The Sikong Family bids 500,000 taels!" Jun Moxie felt that the voice was familiar. He looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was an old acquaintance of his — Sikong An Ye, the head of the Sikong Family. Sikong An Ye smiled slightly when he saw Jun Moxie look over.
This guy was a shill … Jun Moxie had arranged this beforehand. There was no need for a shill in this situation. However, Sikong An Ye wasn't willing to be left out. He opened his mouth and raised the price from 350,000 taels to 500,000 taels …
The man surnamed Wei looked over in a flustered and exasperated manner, "Little Sikong, do you have so much gold? Don't randomly raise the price! "
Sikong An Ye snorted and said, "I don't need your Jiang Dong's Wei Family to worry about it. Shut up if you don't have the money! "
Jun Moxie heard this and realized that these two families also had some enmity …
Mei Xueyan had already arranged for Guan Qing Han to note down the names. Especially on the words' Sikong Clan ', there was an important symbol. The Sikong Family was one of the Jun Family's most loyal allies. So, how could they not pay more attention to them?
More people started to bid, "The Flat Top Guan Family bids 520,000 taels!"
"The Southwest Liu Family bids 530,000 taels …"
"The Northeast Xianyu Family bids 600,000 taels!"
...
Sikong An Ye and the Wei Family's men sat down one after the other as the other families competed to bid. In addition, most of the families were sitting still. This was only the fourth batch of fifty. So, there was no need to rush. However, there were also many people who had started earlier. The sooner they got their hands on it, the more at ease they would feel.
Jun Moxie's saliva splattered everywhere as he jumped up and down. He was constantly adding oil to the fire on the stage. The whole scene was in full swing …
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? Is there anyone else? It's 600,000 taels now! 600,000 taels going once! Oh, there's a friend over there who has raised his sign. It seems that he's stronger than I expected! He made a bid, and as expected, six hundred and fifty thousand taels, six hundred and fifty thousand taels, going once … Yes, that brother over there made a bid of six hundred and eighty thousand taels, six hundred and eighty thousand taels! There were only so many Bone Tempering Pills left in the world at present. The herbs used to refine these pills were all rare elixirs. So, he might not be able to find another shop if he were to miss this opportunity. The friend over there bid 700,000 taels! Everyone was smart. What was a little bit of gold to them? The family's future was the most important! Today's hard work would definitely be exchanged for glory in the future. Today's sacrifice would definitely lead to the fall of the enemy and the rise of the family! Yes, the friend over there … What? Wow! Eight hundred thousand taels! Eight hundred thousand silver going once! Eight hundred thousand taels of gold, this amount was very shocking, but if everyone thought about it, what was eight hundred thousand taels of gold for the sake of the clan's prosperity? Eight hundred thousand going once … "
Jun Moxie's saliva splattered in all directions. He had almost finished everything in one go. But, he couldn't go up by the time the price reached eight hundred thousand taels of gold. After all, this was eight hundred thousand taels of gold, not eighty pieces of dirt. This was a terrifyingly astronomical figure!
Jun Moxie repeated 'eight hundred thousand going twice' five or six times with a dry mouth. Then, he finally dropped the hammer in disappointment, "Eight hundred thousand going thrice … sold!"
"Only eight hundred thousand taels of gold? This is a genuine and rare elixir! This is a rare elixir that can transform a Xuan expert's body! And, it's only sold for such a small amount of money? Is there any justice in this world? Bah! A bunch of country bumpkins and country bumpkins who haven't seen the world! If I had known this earlier, I would've set the base price higher! "
Jun Moxie and Jun Dashao continued to mutter in their hearts. They were obviously still somewhat dissatisfied with the closing price a moment ago. However, the aristocratic families below were already somewhat dumbfounded.
The fourth elixir had been sold for eight hundred thousand taels of gold!
A sky-high price! An absolutely sky-high price!
This wasn't eight hundred thousand taels of silver, and it wasn't eighty copper coins either! Most of these aristocratic families had a long history. Naturally, they could take out several hundred thousand taels of gold, just like the Huang Family. However … it would still damage their foundation. Well, the other aristocratic families would suffer a great deal of damage, but the Huang Family would directly go bankrupt …
If it wasn't for the family's future, who would be willing to use up to eight hundred thousand taels of gold to exchange for a mere twenty elixirs? On average, one elixir would cost forty thousand taels of gold … Calculating like this, almost everyone's scalp was about to explode!
When they looked at the buyer, it was an old man with a gloomy face.
The old man's hair was white like silver, and his eyes were sharp. Although his face was somewhat gloomy, the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of gratification.
"It's the head of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Jue Dao!" Someone whispered the name of the person who had taken out eight hundred thousand taels of gold to exchange for twenty elixirs.
Everyone's heart trembled. So, it was him! This old man was famous for his foresight. It seemed that the rumor was wrong. He had used such a large amount of gold to buy twenty elixirs, and he still had a face of gratification. If he wasn't stupid, then what was?
Hearing about him in person was not as good as hearing about him in person!
"Sure enough, hearing about him in person is better than hearing about him in person! I've long heard that the head of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Jue Dao, is very far-sighted. The Gongsun Family has been carried forward in his hands. Within thirty years, the Gongsun Family has been promoted from a third-rate aristocratic family to a first-rate aristocratic family. His reputation is well-deserved. He is really far-sighted! Record that the head of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Jue Dao, is far-sighted, courageous, and scheming. He is worth recruiting! "Mei Xueyan made the above comment.
Dugu Xiaoyi's pen moved quickly, and she recorded it immediately.
On the stage, Jun Moxie, who still hadn't had enough, had already taken out the fifth elixir. He was shouting at the top of his voice.
"Everyone! Everyone! The past is the past. Glory should be created by everyone together. The future of the family is in your mouth. What are you waiting for? You will be the hero of the family as long as you bring these twenty elixirs home! Everyone's contributions will be indispensable on the rise of the family tomorrow! You will be remembered and respected by your descendants for generations to come! Moreover, this Bone Tempering Pill is a rare elixir. It's truly an unprecedented elixir. It has a great potential for appreciation. You can spend some gold to buy it today. Then, you will be able to earn several times the price in a few days. In fact, you might even be able to earn tens of times the price! Now, the fifth elixir had been auctioned. The price was still the same. Now, let's invite all the Eight Immortals to cross the sea. Let's see who will be the winner in the end! "
Jun Moxie hadn't paid attention. He had actually forgotten that this world didn't have the legend of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. However, the audience didn't care about this. They didn't care about the story or the potential for appreciation. These elixirs were for the future experts of the family. It would be a sin to waste even a single one. So, how could they talk about reselling them? Therefore, no one took Jun Dashao's words to heart. They raised their paddles one after another, and bid for the elixirs.
Suddenly, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.
Many people hadn't imagined that the Bone Tempering Pill would be sold at an outrageous price in the future. After all, the Evil Monarch hadn't appeared in this world for many years. But, these few elixirs would be sold at a sky-high price of at least 3,000,000 taels of gold if they were to appear in the auction house. Only one elixir was sold at such a high price!
Therefore, Jun Dashao wasn't joking when he said that this elixir had a great potential for appreciation. However, this was a fact. Of course, this was a story to be told later!
Unexpectedly, other than the fourth set of medicinal pills which was sold for 800,000 taels of gold, the subsequent deals were all sold for much higher prices. The lowest price was sold for 850,000 taels of gold!
The atmosphere in the auction house became more and more heated as the elixirs were sold one by one. Upstairs, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiaoyi were writing rapidly under the guidance of Mei Xueyan's judgment, analysis, and planning. They had already written down a thick pile of paper. The information was getting more and more specific. The targets were also getting clearer and clearer. The lineup of the clans was gradually coming to the surface …
The Qian Xun Serpent Queen had assumed the role of secretary to the Big Venerable Mei Mei Xueyan in the Tian Fa Forest. She had sorted and summarized the information. She had also made some small labels. So, she could look for whatever she wanted.
The Bone Tempering Pill had already been recognized by everyone. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was closely related to the future of each clan. Therefore, everyone was displaying their remarkable abilities. If an enemy of one's clan was competing for it … then, they would raise the price with a loud rumble. It would be best if they could win it. But, they would make the enemy pay a little more even if they couldn't win it. After all, they weren't spending their own money.
It didn't matter if they were young or old. Everyone swarmed into the fray under such a strange atmosphere. Everyone's eyes were getting redder and redder. The competition was getting more and more intense. A quarrel had gradually appeared. Then, it had turned into verbal abuse. Then, it had almost developed into a brawl on the spot …
If the people of the Three Holy Lands weren't here to keep watch … then, this place would've turned into a slaughterhouse of blood and flesh in an instant.
No one left the auction house. It didn't matter if they had been photographed or not. That was because everyone wanted to see which family would get the fifty elixirs in the end. And, this clan would be treated with special attention by everyone. They would be specially sorted out and archived. This included the young talents of the younger generation. They would be placed in the scope of observation by some people.
They could be allies in the future. But, they could also be murderers who would exterminate their clans in the future.
Who would dare to relax their vigilance?
Therefore, the number of people in the auction house didn't decrease. Moreover, the atmosphere was getting more and more intense.
Such a simple auction had only sold twelve elixirs by lunchtime. This kind of speed was comparable to a snail! But, the people were still enjoying it. Onlookers, heckling, watching the excitement, opposing each other, threatening each other, exposing each other's shortcomings … It was as if the entire continent's grievances were concentrated here …
But, the two ladies, Guan Qing Han and Dugu Xiaoyi, were exhausted …
Sorting out these precious materials was a huge amount of work! At this time, the two ladies were somewhat envious of Tang Yuan. That guy only had to move the gold. It was so easy. Unlike here, where the writing brush couldn't keep up with the speed of talking. Moreover, there were five to six hundred people talking down there! And, they had to sort out the useful information. Then, they had to summarize it. This was a job that required a lot of brain power.
If it wasn't for Mei Xueyan summarizing from the side, the two ladies would've collapsed by now … The mental pressure was too great. This information would determine the future direction of the Jun Family. If there was even the slightest mistake, then they might become enemies in the future. Who could bear the consequences of that?
Even though it was winter, the two ladies were already drenched in sweat.
The worry on Mei Xueyan's beautiful face became more and more obvious!
