Chapter 1700 - Chapter 1700 Chapter 1697 Competing for the Elixir_1

Chapter 1700: Chapter 1697: Competing for the Elixir_1 Chapter 1700: Chapter 1697: Competing for the Elixir_1 This auction mostly follows an old routine, with a beautiful host conducting the auction. At first, some treasures that are not particularly valuable but not worth discarding are presented.

These treasures are of little value to the big shots, but they are still highly sought after among the smaller players.

“This Golden Rat Flying Fur comes from the body of the Golden Rat. As everyone knows, it’s extremely difficult to catch a Golden Rat, let alone obtain fur from it. Only a few hairs can be found in the whiskers of some Golden Rats. The effects of these hairs are not necessary for me to mention. Everyone knows that these hairs are perfect for making hidden weapons, sharp and extremely fast. They are nearly unbeatable when it comes to sneak attacks.” The beautiful host said with a smile.

“The starting price for this Golden Rat Flying Fur is three Divine Stones, and each increase in price must be at least one Divine Stone!”

After the host finished speaking, the crowd below began to bid.

“Five.”

“Six.”

“Eight.”

Immediately, there was a lot of competition, but Yang Chen wasn’t interested. It wasn’t that the Golden Rat Flying Fur was useless, he just already had plenty of sneaky tricks up his sleeve and didn’t lack this particular one.

However, the others were very enthusiastic in their bidding, with even a Young Master from the Steward family competing fiercely. In the end, he snatched the treasure for thirty-seven Divine Stones.

In this manner, several more treasures appeared, and soon it was time for the Windstrider Unity Pill that Yang Chen wanted most.

The beautiful host said, “What we are going to auction off next is the Windstrider Unity Pill, which many people are waiting for. Although many people know about this pill, I still need to introduce it. This pill was created by the Great Pill Master Li Dao of Changbai City before his death. His many pill formulas disappeared with the Cloud Crane Immortal and were not left behind. But through our auction house’s investigation, we found the whereabouts of this pill formula, the Windstrider Unity Pill.”

“Although we couldn’t get the Divine Grade Elixir masterpiece of Great Alchemist Li Dao, this Windstrider Unity Pill is still impressive, with its effects ranking at the mid-grade Heavenly level. If consumed, it can help cultivators of the Jinzun Stage to break through to the Integration Period. With such miraculous effects and the fact that it was created by Great Alchemist Li Dao, our Chamber of Commerce has set the starting price at fifty Divine Stones, and I believe everyone here shouldn’t have any objections.”

The female host smiled and continued, “Each increase in price must not be less than five Divine Stones.”

When the conversation ended, a flurry of bids began.

Despite the high starting price of fifty stones, there were still many bidders.

“Fifty-five!”

“Sixty!”

“Seventy!”

Yang Chen joined the bidding queue as well. To him, the starting price of fifty wasn’t expensive. This was because he inferred from the host’s words that this pill formula was making its debut, and that it was been kept a secret before.

This first-time appearance made it truly precious, no amount of money could measure its value.

“Eighty!” Just as Yang Chen was lost in thought, a voice suddenly appeared, causing many people to stop bidding.

It was because the person speaking was from one of the Four Major Clans, the Zhang Family.

The Zhang Family had a special elegant room at the auction, with all their people inside. As soon as the voice rang out from there, everyone knew it was someone from the Zhang Family speaking.

No one knew which member of the Zhang Family was speaking; the voice was not loud, but it was full of arrogance. He said directly, “Fellow cultivators, our Zhang Family has a Heavenly Alchemist. Although he is not as great as the Great Alchemist Li Dao, he can surely handle this Windstrider Unity Pill. Unlike you all, even if you were to buy this pill formula, you won’t be able to refine it, rendering it a waste. It would be better for me to buy it, so that everyone can benefit from it when it’s refined into pills in the future. Why don’t you all just do me a favor and let me have this pill formula?”

When the conversation ended, the voices died down, not because what the Zhang Family member said made sense, but because of their authority.

When the Zhang Family spoke with such authority, who would dare to bid against them?

However, just because the others didn’t dare doesn’t mean no one else dared. Just as the Zhang Family member finished speaking, another voice chipped in with a sarcastic tone.

“I say, Zhang Xiuwen, do you think you’re the only one with a Heavenly Alchemist? Heh heh, sorry to disappoint you, but our Ling Family also has one, in fact, we have two! Following your logic, shouldn’t we give this pill formula to our Ling Family instead? I assure you, if we get this pill formula, heh heh, we’ll have much higher success rates than your Zhang Family.” A young man from the Ling Family spoke up.

The man called Zhang Xiuwen was angered by this interruption, and said, “Ling Chengxiong, you really want to go against me, huh?”

“Heh heh, Zhang Xiuwen, don’t be a sore loser, the one who pays the highest gets it.” Ling Chengxiong laughed.

“The two of you are having so much fun, wouldn’t it be better if our Steward Family joined in too? I, Guan Ying, love to butt in on other people’s business. Hahaha!” A voice suddenly interjected, joining the competition for the Windstrider Unity Pill.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He had thought that competing with one of the Four Major Clans was already terrible, but now he had to compete with three!

With the situation as it was, even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he probably couldn’t.

However, it wasn’t all bad at the moment. At least one of the Four Major Clans, the Chou Family, hadn’t made a move yet.

He didn’t rush to make a bid, allowing the three families to compete for the time being.

“Humph, since that’s the case, let’s see who can afford it.” Zhang Xiuwen snorted.

“One hundred Divine Stones!”

“One hundred and ten!”

“One hundred and twenty-five!”

The escalating bids left Yang Chen wondering who was behind this auction, as the Four Major Clans were so orderly and well-mannered in their bidding.

“Could it be the people from Purgatory Gate? It shouldn’t be. If the Purgatory Gate really had such a fixed power on the surface, Xuandao Sect would have detected and dealt with them long ago, not letting it go on until now.” Yang Chen pondered.

While he pondered, the price had already soared to 180 Divine Stones.

Soon after that, the price increased to 190, then 210…

When it reached 210 Divine Stones, the three Young Masters became somewhat reluctant to continue increasing their bids.

“Two hundred and ten stones. If neither Young Master Ling nor Young Master Zhang make a bid, this pill formula will go to the Steward’s Young Master.” The female host said.
