Chapter 60 A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal.
Even the people invited by the Lin family head secretly joined the queue. After all, it's a fool not to take advantage of a bargain. If you don't buy now and wait for the price to go back up, wouldn't you be a sucker?
"Didn't you say you don't cultivate and therefore don't need elixirs?"
"Can't I buy it for my friend?"
"I also have a friend who urgently needs a Grade 4 pill!"
The crowd that had come to watch the spectacle quickly formed long queues, all eager to buy the Grade 4 pill. Some even counted their money in public, worried that they hadn't brought enough.
Seeing that he couldn't make a fuss about the fourth-grade pill, the Lin family head angrily covered his face with a veil and led Shan Yixiao into the auction house.
With the tickets he had bought in advance, the Lin family head successfully entered the auction house.
However, upon entering, the Lin family head felt a sudden buzzing in his head and was so shocked that he almost lost his balance.
The auction house was packed with people. Among those attending the auction were not only his usual customers, but also the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty.
At this moment, the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty and several others were sitting in an elegant private room on the second floor, sipping fragrant tea and chatting amiably.
"Could it be that Yu Rou invited her?" Shan Yixiao frowned, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
Doesn't she know she's going to ruin the Shan Family Auction House? She even went so far as to ask the Crown Prince to come and support the Shan Family?
"Could it be that they're also after that sixth-grade pill?" The Lin family head looked worried, seemingly not expecting that a sixth-grade pill could attract the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty.
If he had known they would be moved by the sixth-grade pills, he would have insisted on getting some of them in the first place!
"What sixth-grade pill? You guys are really ignorant!" A spectator at the next table couldn't stand their discussion any longer and couldn't help but speak up.
"What do you mean?" The Lin family head looked bewildered, his eyes full of doubt.
Could there be other treasures?
Didn't Shan Yixiao say that the Shan family's resources were almost depleted?
Could it be that they're going to empty their coffers this time in an effort to salvage the reputation and credibility of Shanjia Auction House?
"You've come all this way to participate in the auction, and you haven't even found out this little bit of information? This time, there aren't just sixth-grade pills, but also seventh-grade pills, and even eighth-grade pills!"
"Not only that, I heard there's also a seventh-grade youth-preserving pill. The moment it was refined, the head of the Shan family immediately gave it to Old Master Wu. Old Master Wu looks younger than his son now!" The onlooker became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
If they hadn't stumbled upon the young Master Wu and learned the truth from various relatives, they would have almost missed out on such a wonderful elixir!
"What? A Grade 7 Youth Preservation Pill?" The Lin family head was so excited that he almost stood up.
I thought that a sixth-grade pill was the limit, but I never expected that there would be a seventh-grade anti-aging pill.
No wonder even the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty came; who wouldn't be tempted by this seventh-grade youth-preserving pill?
"This seventh-grade youth-preserving pill is just an appetizer. There's an eighth-grade pill coming up, but we don't know exactly what kind of pill it is," the onlooker said excitedly.
There are also Grade 8 pills to come...
The head of the Lin family clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, almost unable to control his shock and anger.
He couldn't understand why the Shan family had kept such a big trump card hidden from them before.
If it were him, he would have made this matter public knowledge long ago, letting the whole world know how powerful the philanthropist is.
They've managed to keep it a secret until now, acting like they don't want anyone to know. What are they really up to?
"It's fake, it must be fake." Shan Yixiao clenched his fists tightly, but he couldn't control himself at all, and his body trembled uncontrollably!
He was already impressed that Shanxi could get a hundred fourth-grade pills, so how could she possibly get a seventh-grade youth-preserving pill?
"Didn't you say this was their limit? Didn't you say the Shan family had no resources left? Why are they still able to produce so many high-quality pills?" The Lin family head, his eyes red, gripped Shan Yixiao's collar tightly.
He thought the family was going to collapse, but it's not collapsing at all; it's clearly going to regain its former glory and soar to new heights!
They invited ten alchemists from the Alchemist Guild to be responsible for the appraisal, and even spent more than a hundred fourth-grade pills to promote the product at a loss. They also auctioned off some seventh- and eighth-grade pills...
He dared not imagine what gave his auction house the confidence to go head-to-head with the philanthropists.
You should know that the alchemists that Shan Yixiao found for himself couldn't even get into the Alchemist Guild, let alone make seventh or eighth-grade pills.
Shan Yixiao felt short of breath and said with a confused look, "I don't know either. When I was in charge of the Shan family auction house, I didn't have these connections."
If he had the support of alchemists from the Alchemist Guild when he was managing the Shan Family Auction House, would he have needed to curry favor with others or even sell fake pills?
"You'd better tell the truth. If I find out you're lying to me, I'll kill you first!" The Lin family head viciously released Shan Yixiao's collar.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction room became increasingly heated.
As a graceful auctioneer walked onto the auction stage, the entire hall fell silent, and all eyes were on her.
"My God, it's actually Auctioneer Lulu!" exclaimed a spectator at the next table.
"Who is Lulu?" The Lin family head looked completely bewildered.
Upon hearing this, the other party glanced at the Lin family head with even more disdain: "You don't even know Lulu? She is the exclusive pill auctioneer of the Alchemist Guild, only responsible for auctioning high-level pills within the Alchemist Guild. She doesn't bother to auction at other markets on a regular basis."
Strictly speaking, Lulu belongs to the Alchemist Guild. Without the Alchemist Guild's permission, she would not be able to come to the Shanjia Auction House to help with the auction.
Upon hearing this, the Lin family head's expression grew even more unpleasant.
Didn't they say that the philanthropists had already exhausted all their resources?
What are these things in front of us?
Was it his hallucination?
As Lulu stood on the auction stage, she parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "Distinguished guests, next up is the first treasure of this auction—an eighth-grade elixir, the Spirit Essence Ascension Pill!"
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
The head of the Lin family suddenly widened his eyes and almost jumped up from his seat.
"An eighth-grade pill! It really is an eighth-grade pill! The Shan family can actually produce a pill of this level..." His voice trembled, filled with disbelief.
Shan Yixiao was also as if struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.
After a long while, he finally came to his senses and murmured, "Impossible...this is impossible..."
The auctioneer smiled slightly and continued, "This Spiritual Ascension Pill was personally refined by the Seventh Elder of our Alchemist Guild. Taking this pill can help cultivators break through bottlenecks, and its value is self-evident!"
