"A rank eight medicinal pill!"
Once these four words were spoken, it instantly stirred a great commotion in the auction ground. An uproar resounded throughout the place. Everyone's gazes, including those in the private rooms on the stage, were instantly attracted by Xiao Kuo's words. Even the current Xiao Yan could not help but feel his heart move. A ripple rose on his face as his gaze, which was filled with interest, was thrown toward Xiao Kuo in the middle of the auction stage for the first time.
On the auction stage, when Xiao Kuo saw this scene, the smile on his old face became even warmer. He chuckled, and under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, his shriveled hand once again touched the stone platform in front of him. Soon after, a palm-sized jade box appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Opening the jade box, a suction force slowly gushed out from Xiao Kuo's right palm. He carefully took out a longan sized medicinal pill and raised it slightly towards the auction house.
The medicinal pill's entire body could be considered round and smooth. However, under Xiao Yan's gaze, he discovered that its color was mottled. The originally rich pill fragrance was currently scattered in all directions like smoke. It did not take shape, nor did it transform into a dragon. If one looked carefully, one could even discover that there were some bumps on the surface of the medicinal pill …
"This medicinal pill is not a finished pill. It is just a defective product that failed to be refined."
After realizing this, the original expectations in Xiao Yan's heart immediately decreased by a lot. The value of this so-called rank eight medicinal pill in his eyes naturally decreased as well. A medicinal pill that could not even be considered a semi-finished product, so what if he accepted it? It could be said to be worthless.
However, just as Xiao Yan was shaking his head and sighing, Bai Hua, who was behind him, pressed her hand on his shoulder and whispered with certainty.
"Buy!"
His eyes flashed slightly. Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that he had misjudged?
In the auction house, following the appearance of the medicinal pill, the fervent gazes of many experts changed. It was obvious that they had also discovered the problem with this medicinal pill. Immediately after, the countless gazes that were filled with excitement a moment ago began to converge.
On the auction stage, the smile on Xiao Kuo's face was still warm as he watched this scene unfold. His old eyes slowly swept across the entire auction house, as if he had already expected all of this.
When the excitement in the auction house reached its lowest point, Xiao Kuo finally opened his mouth once again.
"Everyone, have you heard of the Nature Pill?"
As these words fell, the auction house instantly fell silent. These three simple words reverberated in the ears of countless experts. There were even some people who were discussing the various matters related to this medicinal pill. In the private room, the instant that Xiao Yan heard this name, his entire face suddenly tensed up. His originally curious gaze was now filled with passion as he looked towards the medicinal pill..
The Nature Pill was a grade 8 pill. Although it could not be considered a top tier medicinal pill, this pill had an astonishing effect that would make everyone go crazy. It could cleanse one's muscles and marrow, allowing one to be reborn. Once consumed, one was destined to become a Source Venerate expert!
According to what Xiao Yan knew, the original pill formula of the 'Creation Pill' had long been buried in the long river of history. Currently, there was no one in this world who knew the refining method of the 'Creation Pill'. Although the 'Creation Pill' in front of him was a defective product, if he could use this medicinal pill to understand the medicinal theory behind it, he might have the opportunity to recreate the 'Creation Pill'!
"Ha ha, it is merely a failed refining pill. Even if it is the famous Nature Pill, it has ultimately lost its original value. Currently, the only people in the world who can be interested in it are alchemists."
A slightly hoarse old voice suddenly rang out in the quiet auction house. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw an old man wearing alchemist robes slowly standing up at a certain spot in the viewing gallery. The badge on his chest that indicated his identity as a Pill Tower member caused the expressions of quite a few people in the auction house to change.
"Therefore, from what I see, right now, I am the only alchemist present. Since it's like this, I will suffer a bit of a loss and take out a seventh level medicinal pill to win this failed product."
The old man's cold gaze swept across the entire auction house. His mouth parted into a smile as he faintly laughed while stroking his beard with one hand. The moment his voice sounded, he waved his sleeve and a ray of light immediately shot towards the auction stage. Although the expressions of everyone present were filled with dissatisfaction when they saw this, they could only return to their seats when they thought of the Pill Tower badge on the old man's chest.
On the auction stage, Xiao Kuo was also frowning because of this scene. He was naturally clear that this old man had purposely pointed out the flaws of this Nature Pill and had the intention of using the name of the Pill Tower to suppress everyone. His goal was to use this mere grade 7 pill to purchase it.
Under such circumstances, if no one bid against him, it was likely that the auction house would have no choice but to reluctantly sell it regardless of how low his bid was!
"Damn it!"
The muscles on Xiao Kuo's face involuntarily twitched as he looked at the medicinal pill that was shot over like a meteor. Although he forcefully maintained a smile on his face, his mood was already extremely terrible.
Their expectations of this Nature Pill were over a million Spirit Stones. Now, this fellow actually wanted to purchase it with a grade 7 pill. The loss in this could not be said to be small!
"I bid three grade 7 pills."
However, just as everyone present thought that the Revival Pill would fall into the old man's hands, a clear and bright voice suddenly rang out from one of the private rooms. It was as if a sudden clap of thunder had exploded in this quiet space.
"Buzz!"
Almost at the same time, the medicinal pill that was flying through the air was stopped by an invisible force. With a swoosh, it shot towards the old man on the viewing platform.
On the auction stage, Xiao Kuo's face regained its smile. As long as someone was willing to break the current situation, it meant that this Nature Pill could be raised to an even higher price.
"Three grade 7 pills. Everyone, is there anyone who is willing to bid a higher price?"
Xiao Kuo's gaze paused on the private room where Xiao Yan and the rest were located. He nodded his head and laughed softly. Soon after, he swept his gaze across the crowd and smiled.
At the same time, the old man on the viewing platform waved his sleeve and kept the medicinal pill that had been shot over. Soon after, he looked towards the private room where Xiao Yan and the rest were located with an unhappy expression. After a slight hesitation, he said in a deep voice:
"This old man bids four pills."
"Five pills!"
In the private room, a calm voice immediately sounded out. The old man's furrowed brows immediately twisted into a ball. His sullen gaze stared fixedly at the private room. The hands under his sleeves slowly clenched. After some hesitation, he finally opened his mouth and said:
"Six grade 7 pills. If you are able to bid a higher price, this old man will let you have them."
Before the situation was clear, any bid on the stage could be the work of the auction house. However, once the old man's words came out, in a situation where there were no outsiders participating, there was no room for choice. Unless …
"I bid seven pills."
In the private room, Xiao Yan's gaze met with Xiao Kuo's as he spoke with a smile.
