Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start
Chapter 13 The Competition for Elixirs
After a while, Wan'er on the stage said, "Everyone, the auction house received a new item for auction a couple of days ago, and I think you will all be interested in it."
After speaking, he waved his right hand, and a servant quickly picked up a jade plate containing two small white jade bottles.
"This is a grade three elixir." She carefully picked up the small white jade bottle, and her clear and melodious voice echoed throughout the hall, causing the auction to fall silent for a moment. After a short while, a cacophony of noise arose. On the Dou Qi Continent, the most sought-after items, besides fighting techniques and cultivation methods, were the various elixirs made by alchemists.
"This item is called the Fighter Pill. As the name suggests, this pill can guarantee that cultivators at the Fighter level will increase their level by one star, and some talented individuals may even increase it by two stars. This pill can only be used by Fighters, so don't miss out if you want it!"
"Really? It can increase a star level by 100%? Will there be any side effects?" someone in the audience asked.
"Hehe, this pill has been personally appraised by Master Gu Ni of our auction house. It is of grade three quality and there will be absolutely no problems. You can rest assured."
Upon hearing that it was personally appraised by Master Gu Ni, the people in the audience immediately fell silent, without raising any questions.
"The starting price for these two bottles of pills is tentatively set at 100,000 gold coins, with each bid increasing by no less than 10,000 gold coins. Please start your bids!" Wan'er said with a smile.
"110,000"
The price increase of "150,000" followed closely behind.
……
Prices in the market fluctuated wildly, reaching a high of 300,000 in just a short time.
At this moment, Galebi shouted, "Three hundred and ten thousand!"
The patriarch of another large family, Obapa, shouted, "Three hundred and twenty thousand."
At this moment, Xiao Zhan spoke up: "Four hundred thousand."
The hall fell silent abruptly, all eyes turning to Xiao Zhan. Even the other two clan leaders were stunned by his sudden high price.
"Hehe, it seems that Clan Chief Xiao is determined to get these two bottles of pills." Jialiebi said with a smile.
Xiao Zhan said calmly, "If you want to, keep going. Let's see who offers more money."
Jia Liebi's face twitched, and he cursed inwardly, "If it weren't for the fact that your Xiao family suddenly had a lot more first-grade pills for sale in the past few years, taking away a lot of business." After thinking for a while, he realized that he still had something he wanted and could not waste money, so he stopped raising the price.
On the other side, Omapa saw that Galebi had retreated, and he shrugged. Although the pill was good, it wasn't what he particularly wanted, so he quieted down and stopped talking.
Seeing that no one was bidding, Wan'er on the auction stage said, "If no one bids again, then these two bottles of pills will be purchased by Clan Chief Xiao Zhan!" After a short while, no one responded, so she immediately tapped the small gavel on the table and decided on the buyer.
Wan'er put away the jade bottle on the stage and clapped her hands. At this moment, three maids walked out from behind the auction stage, each carrying a bottle of pills. Wan'er walked in front, stretched out her slender and snow-white hand, picked up a bottle of pills, and opened it. A rich and mellow medicinal fragrance enveloped the surrounding venue, allowing everyone to smell the fragrance.
Upon hearing this, Wan'er said, "The last three bottles of pills to be auctioned are all top-grade third-rank pills called Qi Gathering Pills. These pills can instantly restore 50% of one's battle qi when it is depleted, and can only be used by those below the Dou Ling level." Wan'er's voice was clear and powerful, and every word struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
"The three bottles of pills will be auctioned separately. The starting price for each bottle is 100,000 gold coins, and each bid must be at least 10,000 gold coins higher. We will now begin the auction for the first bottle."
"110,000"
The price increase of "150,000" followed closely behind.
……
"Three hundred thousand!" shouted a wealthy mercenary group leader.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand," another mercenary group leader competed.
"Three hundred and twenty thousand once, three hundred and twenty thousand twice..." As Wan'er's voice gradually rose, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall reached a climax. Everyone's eyes were focused on that bottle of Qi Gathering Pills.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!" a middle-aged man suddenly shouted, his voice full of determination and confidence. He was a large pharmaceutical merchant from Utan City, and his funds were considerable.
In the end, a bottle was successfully purchased by this major pharmaceutical dealer.
The auction for the second bottle had barely finished when an old man forcefully shouted, "110,000!"
"120,000"
"150,000"
……
As the price surged, sporadic bids could be heard throughout the hall. Finally, Jia Liebi, sitting in the first row, spoke up coldly, "Three hundred thousand."
When Chief Obaba saw Garebi start bidding, he immediately countered, "Three hundred and thirty thousand."
After shouting "350,000," Jia Liebi glanced coldly at Obaba and said, "Obapa, wait, there's another bottle of pills up for auction. Don't try to take this one from me."
Obapa replied with a smile, "Galebi, I should be the one saying that. You can have that bottle later, but I'll take this one. 370,000."
Faced with Obappa's continuous bidding, Galebi didn't hesitate to keep up. Finally, the price reached 400,000 gold coins, which Galebi won.
Wan'er said with a charming smile, "The auction for the last bottle of Qi Gathering Pills has begun. Everyone present, please start bidding."
"150,000"
"Two hundred thousand"
……
After looking at the last bottle of Qi Gathering Pills on the stage, Obaba glanced at Jialiebi and said, "Jialebi, you shouldn't be fighting me for this last bottle, right? You already have one."
Galebi smiled but did not respond.
Upon seeing this, Obapa shouted to the stage, "Three hundred and fifty thousand." His voice was full of confidence and anticipation, as if he could already see the scene of successfully obtaining the elixir.
At this moment, Xiao Zhan calmly shouted, "Three hundred and seventy thousand."
Upon hearing Xiao Zhan's bid, Obapa frowned, then suddenly smiled and looked at Xiao Zhan, saying, "Clan Chief Xiao, didn't you just buy two bottles of Dou Zhe Pills? Do you still have spare funds to buy Qi Gathering Pills?"
His voice carried a hint of sarcasm and provocation, attempting to shake Xiao Zhan's resolve.
Xiao Zhan stroked his beard and said to Obaba, "You don't need to worry about that. I still have extra funds to compete."
Obapa cursed inwardly, "This auction has finally come around with a third-grade pill; I can't let it go, I have to get it." He called out, "Three hundred and eighty thousand."
Xiao Zhan continued to raise the price: "Three hundred and ninety thousand."
Obapa gritted his teeth, his face growing even darker, and shouted, "Four hundred thousand, Xiao Zhan, if you raise the price again, I'll take this bottle of pills; I don't want it anymore."
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Obapa, since you want it so much, I'll give it to you. I won't raise the price."
When Wan'er saw that no one was bidding, she said, "Since no one is bidding, then this bottle of pills will be awarded to Obapa."
Seeing the auction come to an end, Xiao Yao smiled and said to Xun'er, "Xun'er, the auction is over. I have some things to take care of. You can go back with the clan leader and the others later."
Seeing Xiao Yao's expression, Xun'er understood what he was planning. She smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, Brother Xiao Yao. I'll keep it a secret for you."
Xiao Yao left the auction venue first, walked to a secluded corner, put on a black cloak and robe, then put on a disguise mask, changing back to his previous appearance.
After finishing, Xiao Yao entered the venue and headed towards the previous appraisal room. Back in the appraisal room, under the middle-aged man's awe-inspiring gaze, Xiao Yao walked over and sat down, asking, "The auction is over. Have the items I auctioned and the things I wanted been settled?"
The middle-aged man said respectfully, "Please wait a little longer, sir, it will be ready soon." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao quietly closed his eyes to rest.
