Chapter 635: Competition for Pill Recipe
After Lin Zhen shouted out the price, countless eyes from the surroundings turned to him.
Anyone who can come to this auction house can come up with 200 million, but such a large jump in bidding is very eye-catching.
"Who is this person? He looks so young."
"Fifth-rank alchemist? Is this the guild's new elder? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"A galaxy level nine. It seems that this person is a genius in alchemy. He is really rich."
"You have never seen this person before. He is Lin Zhen, the Ice and Fire Alchemist who has been selling very hot pills these days. His pills are really useful and have no side effects of fire poison at all. People are rushing to buy them."
"Oh! A simple alchemist, it seems he is here to sell medicinal materials, then I won't compete with him."
People were talking in low voices. Although few people had seen Lin Zhen, his name as the Ice and Fire Alchemist was very famous during this period and few people didn't know him.
Some people also turned their eyes to Gu Yunting, thinking that there must be a grudge between the two of them, and Gu Yunting would not let Lin Zhen get the white tiger blood so easily.
Lin Zhen also looked at Gu Yunting, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Gu Yunting glanced at Lin Zhen, then started chatting and laughing with the people around him, and ignored Lin Zhen at all.
The host over there shouted several times, and seeing that no one was competing with Lin Zhen, he immediately dropped the hammer and announced that the white tiger blood belonged to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen's spending of 200 million was well-thought-out. It directly drove away those who were looking to get a bargain, and also showed his determination not to let this thing fall into the hands of others. In this way, most people would not fight for it.
But he didn't expect Gu Yunting to give up. What was this man thinking? But no matter what, the White Tiger blood was in hand. Lin Zhen now only needed the Vermillion Bird blood to gather the four spirits and make an elixir to unlock the bloodthirsty divine needle.
On the other side, beside Gu Yunting, a Realm King asked, "President, aren't you going to compete with Lin Zhen?"
"Haha~! It's just a medicinal herb, why should I fight for it? White tiger blood is not unavailable. If I fight for it, people will laugh at me and think I'm petty."
"But Lin Zhen seems to be provoking you."
"Haha, let him provoke me. This guy is playing psychological warfare with me, but he is still young. He must want to push the price of white tiger blood to a high level so that I will suffer a loss when I buy it, and then he will set his sights on something else."
"What did the president say?"
Gu Yunting pointed at an auction item and said, "Don't forget that Lin Zhen is an alchemist, and a genius alchemist at that. I can be absolutely sure that he must have been crazy about alchemy since he was a child, otherwise he would not have achieved this achievement at such a young age. Therefore, everything that is beneficial to alchemy is what he really wants to strive for, just like this."
"Ancient elixir recipe!"
"That's right. Each of the ancient pill recipes has miraculous effects. If an alchemist obtains it, it means endless wealth will come. If Lin Zhen gets this ancient pill recipe, then he will have a firm foothold in the alchemy market of Xianle County. No one can drive him out. So I can't let him get this thing no matter what."
Gu Yunting smiled and said, "Give up the White Tiger Blood, but I must snipe him for this recipe. I know he has made a lot of money during this period, but no matter what the price, this recipe is mine, because I am also an alchemist, and a peak sixth-grade alchemist!"
The King of the Realm beside him nodded repeatedly in praise, praising Gu Yunting for his foresight.
But in his opinion, Gu Yunting has occupied the medicine market for so many years, and his wealth should be astronomical. No one can compete with him for whatever he wants to buy.
If he were Gu Yunting, he would make sure that Lin Zhen wouldn't get any of his money, that would be great.
But he didn't know that most of Gu Yunting's income had to be given to the people behind him, otherwise he would not be able to survive in this market alone.
The money that actually reached Gu Yunting was not much! Gu Yunting's current card did not have much more, but there were still 30 to 40 billion. He was also aware of Lin Zhen's drug sales in the past few days, so he was confident of sniping Lin Zhen.
********** After Lin Zhen obtained the white tiger blood, he did not continue to buy other things. Although those dazzling items were indeed touching, Lin Zhen knew his goal and would never lose the big picture for the small.
Lin Zhen had a hope in his heart. He hoped that the auction of Taiyuan Sword Technique would appear before the ancient elixir recipe, so that he would have enough money to compete for the ancient elixir recipe.
Because in his opinion, Gu Yunting would not let go of the recipe, and there would definitely be a fight, so he might have to think of a way.
However, things did not turn out as he wished, and the ancient elixir recipe appeared first.
"The next item has a great origin. As everyone knows, there are countless ancient ruins in the Metaverse. Too many talented warriors have fallen in various places in the Metaverse. Countless treasures are waiting for adventurers to discover. This ancient pill recipe comes from the ancient tomb of a super alchemist. It is the most precious wealth he left behind when he died."
"When a new pill comes on the market, it will definitely set off a buying frenzy. My fellow alchemists, can you imagine what kind of wealth that will bring? I don't need to introduce this in detail, so the starting price of this pill formula is 3 billion, and the price will increase by 100 million each time! Let's start!"
"Three billion, I want this recipe!"
“3.1 billion! If you are not even an alchemist, don’t get involved. This is a battle for alchemists.”
"Even in a battle involving alchemists, you should show some sincerity. What's the point of adding 100 million at a time? I'll offer 3.5 billion!"
"Three and a half billion is only enough for you to take a look, four billion!"
The bidding sounds immediately rose one after another. Some alchemists even threw off their robes excitedly and stood on their chairs to shout loudly. The atmosphere immediately became heated.
Lin Feng muttered behind Lin Zhen: "Boss, don't you want to fight for this recipe? If we get it, we can make more money and get our money back soon."
"We must fight, but the time has not come yet."
After waiting for a while, the price on site rose to 7.5 billion, and the number of people bidding finally decreased.
According to the original prediction, the price of this ancient elixir recipe is about 10 billion. When the price approaches this level, a large number of people will naturally be eliminated.
There was only a burly barbarian warrior and a black-robed alchemist competing at the scene.
When the price rose to 8 billion, Lin Zhen took action.
"10 billion~!"
If you don't contain it, then don't worry. Once you shout it out, it will be a sensation.
The barbarian warrior was stunned for a moment. Ten billion was his bottom line. If the price exceeded this, he would feel uncomfortable.
Shaking his head, the barbarian warrior sat down, indicating his withdrawal from the competition.
The black-robed alchemist is also a member of the Alchemist Guild, a very senior elder and a fifth-rank alchemist.
Seeing Lin Zhen's bid, the black-robed alchemist chuckled and said, "Elder Lin Zhen, it's just you and me left. But I seem to have hit a dead end in my alchemy recently and I'm in urgent need of new inspiration. So you should give me the recipe for 10.5 billion!"
"Haha~! I can give you other things, but not this pill formula. Elder Wang knows that a pill formula is the life of an alchemist. Why don't you give it to me? I can give you two pills after I take a picture of them. You can study them yourself. One hundred and ten billion!"
Elder Wang also felt the pressure. The price increase of 500 million at a time was really not something that most people could afford. He was almost at his limit, but he still wanted to fight for it.
"I am an old man with a stubborn temper. I really want to test Elder Lin's purchasing power. 11.5 billion!"
"That would probably disappoint Elder Wang, 12 billion!"
When Lin Zhen said this expressionlessly, Elder Wang's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and wanted to continue speaking but finally he didn't dare to.
After Elder Wang sat down in frustration, Lin Zhen showed a smug smile on his face.
Twelve billion to get an ancient pill recipe, this price is totally worth it.
The host on the stage began to ask questions continuously, and some people around him began to applaud Lin Zhen. After all, such a high transaction amount should be encouraged according to etiquette.
Lin Zhen waved amid the applause, just waiting for the host to announce that he could get the recipe.
But just before the host shouted it out for the third time, Gu Yunting suddenly spoke.
"Young man, your alchemy skills are not up to par yet. The ancient recipe will be wasted in your hands. Why don't you let me try? Thirteen billion~!"
The applause suddenly stopped and excitement appeared on people's faces.
The host also shouted excitedly: "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, the president of the Pill Chamber of Commerce, has made a bid. This time he has raised the price by 1 billion. I guarantee that this pill formula is definitely worth this price. I wonder if there is anyone else competing with Mr. Gu!"
Before, it was increased by 500 million at a time, and now it’s 1 billion at a time. Everyone wants to see if Lin Zhen still has the courage to follow through.
After all, this price has exceeded the normal price of the pill recipe.
Lin Zhen's face flushed, and when he saw Gu Yunting raising the price, he straightened up instantly.
"Although Mr. Gu is very wealthy, Lin is really incompetent. I really want to give it a try with Mr. Gu. 15 billion!"
A one-time price increase of 2 billion~!
Gu Yunting was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so bold in bidding, but this was completely within his expectations. No matter how high the cost today, he was determined to defeat Lin Zhen on this point.
No! It was an all-round defeat of Lin Zhen! "Haha! It turns out that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Then let's play around, 18 billion!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
This time, Gu Yunting actually raised the price by 3 billion, which was really a big deal.
The currency of the Metaverse still has great purchasing power. The price of 18 billion is so high that even some Immortal Realm warriors with poor wealth would have a hard time paying it, let alone the Realm King.
This price is also far beyond the normal price of the pill.
Sure enough, after hearing the price, Lin Zhen showed a helpless look on his face and finally sat down.
Gu Yunting showed a victorious smile. All this was within his expectations. He had basically calculated how much money Lin Zhen had made from selling medicine these days. It was at most one hundred and sixty, no more than one hundred and seventy. He offered one hundred and eighty, and Lin Zhen couldn't afford it even if he wanted to.
The host announced that the recipe belonged to Gu Yunting, and Gu Yunting won the game.
Lin Zhen sat there and breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was going as planned! This is the second update today. There will be a third update for the leader later. Book friends, there are still ten more votes to get to 300. There will be a fourth update today. Keep your word. Come on! (End of this chapter)
