"160,000"
"Seventeen thousand!"
However, the price of Qi Gathering Pills did not stop there.
"My son, thank goodness I took the photos early; that's what you call foresight!"
At this moment, in a mid-range private room, the city lord of Qingyan City spoke smugly to the young man beside him.
Seeing that the outside price had reached 200,000 low-grade spirit stones, the city lord of Qingyan City once again marveled at his foresight.
If he hadn't acted decisively last time, he probably would have suffered a huge financial loss this time.
It should be noted that the City Lord's Mansion's annual income, including all sorts of miscellaneous tributes and other expenses, is only about 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones.
Of the seventy or eighty thousand spirit stones he had to hand over a portion to the Great Zhou Dynasty, a portion to his superiors, and his family's cultivation resources, he could only save a maximum of twenty or thirty thousand spirit stones a year.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
Before we knew it, the bidding had reached 250,000.
"It's unbelievable, this is truly terrifying."
"Is it worth it? More than 200,000 spirit stones for a chance to enter the Great Zhou Academy?"
The people in the hall felt that this world was somewhat magical.
A bottle of body-tempering liquid used in the Body Tempering Realm was auctioned for 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The price of a single Qi Gathering Pill has actually risen to 250,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Are these rich people too stupid, or is there something they can't understand about it?
Unfortunately, no one could answer their questions.
Different circles lead to different experiences; being blinded by a single leaf is a prime example of this.
Two hundred and fifty-five thousand!
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Two hundred and sixty-one thousand"
"Two hundred and sixty-two thousand"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Seeing that the bidding was becoming increasingly weak, a loud voice rang out without hesitation from the VIP box.
This time, however, everyone fell silent.
If they continue to follow in increments of one or two thousand, they might dare to give it another try.
This person has now offered 300,000 low-grade spirit stones in one go, clearly indicating that he is determined to obtain this Qi Gathering Pill.
The crowd began to calm down and consider the potential benefits of winning the Qi Gathering Pill!
The Great Zhou Academy still carries enormous risks.
"What if there are still Qi Gathering Pills?"
Three hundred thousand spirit stones—this has already exceeded their expectations. If any more high-quality items appear next, they will probably be unable to continue competing.
Moreover, there might even be a Xuan-level cultivation technique appearing at this auction!
"Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones per time"
"Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones twice"
"Three times, three times, three low-grade spirit stones!"
"Congratulations to Box 3 for obtaining the Qi Gathering Pill"
Sophie was also quite excited.
It should be noted that the highest price achieved at the last auction was only 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.
And this is only the second item!
"Patriarch, we finally got the deal!"
At this moment, in VIP room number three, the eldest elder of the Wang family said with some excitement.
"If I hadn't been careless last time and hadn't failed to let you bring enough spirit stones, we wouldn't have had to go to such great lengths."
"However, 300,000 is still within an acceptable range."
The head of the Wang family sighed softly. Although it cost an extra 150,000 spirit stones, it was still barely acceptable.
As long as Teng'er can be sent to the Great Zhou Academy, this sum of spirit stones will surely be compensated a thousandfold soon!
Few people know that the Wang family has another prodigy!
My son, Wang Teng, reached the peak of Body Tempering at the age of thirteen, possessing extraordinary talent!
Thinking of this, the head of the Wang family smiled with relief.
"Father, why don't we participate in the auction for this Qi Gathering Pill?"
Inside the first private room, the young master looked at his father with a wronged expression and asked weakly.
If he had this Qi Gathering Pill, he could break through to the Qi Condensation Realm and then enter the Great Zhou Academy!
"Um?"
Looking at the young master, the middle-aged man couldn't help but wonder if the child was truly his.
Their sect went to the Great Zhou Academy?
Isn't this blatant betrayal?
Without hesitation, another scream rang out.
......
"We're still short 200,000 spirit stones."
Yang An leaned against the beautiful maid's lap, somewhat helplessly.
However, Yang An was still quite satisfied that a single Qi Gathering Pill could fetch a sky-high price of 300,000.
"Auctions are indeed an art."
The right timing, location, and people all contribute to changes in auction prices.
This made Yang An determined that once he had suitable talent, he would definitely establish an information department specifically for collecting information!
To achieve the highest price at the lowest possible cost.
"Looks like it'll be time to move to another city."
The stage in Qingyan City is ultimately too small. After a few more auctions, these families' spirit stones will probably be completely depleted.
Yang An felt somewhat helpless.
......
On the white jade platform, the candlelight flickered.
"This is the third item in this auction, a grade three elixir!"
Sophie gently picked up the jade bottle, then uncorked the bottle and quickly closed it again.
But in that instant, a rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the auction house.
The aroma of the medicine contained an incredible vitality; those who were initially listless were instantly invigorated upon smelling it.
"My wound is healing incredibly fast!"
Some people said in disbelief.
"Me too! The wound I got from being slashed by an enemy a couple of days ago is actually healing!"
"What kind of pill is this, that it has such medicinal properties!"
"This is outrageous, this is amazing!"
Hearing the exclamations, many people looked at their own wounds.
It should be noted that in this cultivation world, martial arts are flourishing and a martial spirit is prevalent.
Therefore, it's perfectly normal to have some scars on your body.
Not everyone comes from a sect or a prestigious family and has a stable supply of cultivation resources.
However, this was the first time anyone had ever encountered a pill whose mere fragrance was enough to heal a person!
Then, everyone looked at the porcelain bottle in Sophie's palm, their eyes filled with fervor.
"Father, do you recognize this?"
Inside the number one private room, the young master rubbed his buttocks and asked with some confusion.
Just from smelling the medicinal aroma, my previously red and swollen buttocks no longer hurt.
However, the middle-aged man did not reply, but instead looked solemnly at the white jade platform.
"Sect Master...is it that elixir?"
The old man beside him said in a trembling voice.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be."
The middle-aged man nodded, his tone somewhat solemn.
Watching the two appear out of nowhere, the young master could only stare blankly, but dared not utter another word.
This time, he was smarter!
If I open my mouth, I'll definitely get beaten up, so I might as well just keep quiet.
Well, thankfully his father didn't hear what he said.
The young master decisively chose to cower to the side like an ostrich.
And the reactions of the crowd were exactly what Sophie needed!
