Nangong Ziyan took a closer look. The Soul-Returning Potion—could anyone in the world really refine it? And it was that old man again? Nangong Ziyan was somewhat incredulous, but she was no longer interested in any of this. Anyway, with that old man around, she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to learn it.
This soul-restoring potion is something everyone desires. Everyone understands one principle: as long as you are alive, you can get whatever you want.
"President Gao, tell us the price! We came here specifically for this priceless Soul-Resurrection Potion."
Not far behind Nangong Ziyan, a richly dressed man couldn't wait any longer and shouted loudly.
"Honorable guest, please be patient. The bidding will begin soon. As in previous years, the starting price for this Soul-Returning Potion is 500,000 taels. The bidding will now commence."
Before Gao Lang could finish speaking, someone shouted loudly.
"Six hundred thousand taels."
"Seventy nights and two."
One million taels.
"One million one hundred thousand taels..."
Immediately, the entire venue erupted in cheers, with bidding continuing without pause, and everyone raising the price without hesitation.
Nangong Ziyan stared wide-eyed at the scene before her. Haotian was making money way too easily!
"Two million taels..."
Prices skyrocketed... Nangong Ziyan was completely stunned. At the same time, she was also glad that she had chosen the right profession. As long as she worked a little harder, she could also drive the world crazy. Nangong Ziyan thought to herself, and she couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Xiao Nian, how many silver notes do we have left?"
Baili Yuechan looked at the Soul Resurrection Potion and was somewhat tempted. Although she was also a pharmacist, her cultivation level was far from sufficient to refine the Soul Resurrection Potion.
"Your Highness, after deducting all expenses and the silver notes from earlier, we still have three million taels of silver notes left."
"So little?" Baili Yuechan frowned. If she had known, she wouldn't have wanted the alchemy furnace flame. This soul-restoring potion was much more valuable than the alchemy furnace flame.
Xiao Nian almost collapsed to the ground in shock at how little this was. She could never earn that much money in her entire life.
“Princess, this is quite a lot. These are all silver notes from your fiefdom. Half of them have already been brought here.”
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuechan felt somewhat unhappy. It seemed that she had no way of obtaining the Soul-Returning Elixir. However, she would only find out who would ultimately receive it in the end.
Baili Jun'ao heard every word they said without uttering a sound, and sneered inwardly.
Baili Yuechan's fiefdom is quite wealthy, unlike him, the crown prince, who is terribly down on his luck. Baili Yuechan can get millions of taels of silver from her father with just a word, while he, the down-on-his-luck crown prince, has to carefully budget his money every month.
By this time, the price had soared to 2.5 million taels.
Baili Yuechan frowned deeply. If things continued this way, very few people would be able to afford the price of the Soul-Returning Potion.
Baili Yuechan glanced at Beiming Haotian; he was not only exceptionally talented but also adept at strategic planning.
He was decisive and capable of winning battles from afar. Most importantly, he was adept at understanding people's needs and taking their destinies into his own hands. Such a man was so powerful that she was fascinated by him.
Three million taels.
A familiar voice came from behind. Nangong Ziyan pouted. She knew Dongfang Yifei would be unable to hold back, but the fact that he hadn't come out to cause trouble was already a great help to her.
Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian's eyes narrowed, and he unconsciously took Nangong Ziyan's hand. He had not forgotten that he was still Yan'er's fiancé.
"Three and a half million taels."
Someone in the crowd shouted again.
"Three and a half million taels?" Baili Yuechan murmured to himself, suddenly realizing why the Netherworld Continent had risen so quickly. Even this seemingly insignificant auction had allowed Beiming Haotian's power to grow rapidly.
Baili Jun'ao was the same. He had always wanted to come to the auction in the Netherworld Continent, but he had never been able to find the time. This time, however, he was truly amazed. The rise of the Netherworld Continent was entirely due to the strength of Bei Ming Haotian.
"Four million taels." Dongfang Yifei's voice rang out again, and he raised the price sharply.
Four million taels of silver is an astronomical price for ordinary people, but it is not a big problem for the young masters of the four continents. At the auction, many merchants were still wary of the powerful people from the four continents.
The room fell silent; no one was bidding higher.
Tian Haoze was all smiles. In previous years, the Soul-Returning Potion could only sell for 3.5 million taels of silver. He had always said that this year would be more lively than in previous years.
"Everyone, this is a rare life-extending potion. Those who want it should hurry."
But still no one spoke up. "Four million taels at a time."
No one bid, so Gao Lang began setting the price.
"Four million taels twice."
"Four million two or three times, good! This Soul-Returning Potion is for this young master. Please prepare the silver notes, the Soul-Returning Potion will be delivered shortly."
"No need. This Soul-Returning Elixir was a gift from me to my fiancée. Just give it to her directly." Dongfang Yifei stood up, looked at Nangong Ziyan, and said with a smile.
Nangong Ziyan glared at Dongfang Yifei, her eyes blazing with anger. She never expected him to pull this stunt.
A commotion erupted as everyone turned to look at Dongfang Yifei.
Bei Ming Haotian clenched his fists, but his expression remained calm.
Tian Haoze glared angrily at Dongfang Yifei. What was this blind and brainless idiot doing causing trouble at this time?
