A short while later, the appraiser returned in a hurry. Why so fast? His boss must have been inside the building.
"Young Master, there's no time to lose. Let's head to the auction house now. We've received word that they're currently auctioning off the last few of the most anticipated items." His expression was respectful. Judging by his age, it was impossible to believe he had refined those pills himself, but his status was certainly extraordinary.
“Alright!” Sui Yi stood up, picked up the jade bottle, and followed the appraiser toward the auction house.
"By the way, Master, are your Treasure Appraisal Pavilion and Auction House the same company?"
"Yes! They're all owned by our boss, and our shops all belong to the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce." Because of the pills, the appraiser was truly open and honest with Sui Yi.
"Oh!" I understood.
Upon arriving at the auction house, Sui Yi handed the medicine bottle to a waiter, who then divided the pills into three jade bottles and carried them to the auction stage. Sui Yi was seated in a VIP room. She looked at the audience below, feeling utterly bored.
"Now we're moving on to the final item." After the hammer fell on the previous item, the beautiful auctioneer announced with a smile to everyone.
"What's going on? Wasn't that the grand finale? Why is there another one? I've already bet all my money on that!" A man stood up and said with dissatisfaction.
"Hehe! Sir, please don't be in a hurry. This item was just delivered by the seller. After appraisal, it is definitely a priceless treasure."
"Miss Ya, stop keeping us in suspense! We're all ready to pounce!" Those who hadn't spent all their money looked on with impatience, gleefully watching the competitors who had staked their fortunes on the items up front.
"Hehe!" The hostess chuckled, glancing to the side. A maid brought up a tray and stood beside her. She looked mysteriously at the crowd below, then extended her slender hand and lifted the red silk covering, revealing a white jade bottle before them.
"Oh dear! This is obviously a pill. What's so valuable about it? Unless it was made by a powerful expert, it's not of much use to a mortal like me." Seeing that it was a jade bottle, he didn't think much of it and was quite disappointed.
"that is."
"Everyone, don't be anxious. How can we know if it's precious when we don't even know the miraculous effects of this pill?"
"Alright! Then please tell me, Miss Ya."
"According to the seller, this pill is called the Life-Giving Pill, and its effect is exactly what everyone wants: it allows a mortal without spiritual roots to embark on the path of cultivation!"
"Wow!" Many people stood up, whispering among themselves, creating a commotion. Even the noble sons, high-ranking officials, and cultivators seated in the VIP section were deeply moved. If the elixir's effects were genuine, it was truly priceless!
"Miss Ya, are you telling the truth?"
"That's what the seller said. Alright, if you want to see the effect, then let's start the auction. If it really works, then I congratulate one of you here, whether it's your family member or yourself, on embarking on the path of cultivation. Now, the starting bid is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones." After saying that, she smiled sweetly at the people below the stage.
"Five thousand yuan!"
"Eight thousand yuan!"
"Ten thousand yuan!"
"Eight thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The price announced immediately attracted everyone's attention, because this person was incredibly generous, offering eight thousand high-grade spirit stones in one go—clearly, he must own a mine. Many people stopped bidding because of his offer.
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Everyone thought the pill would go to the middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, someone else made an offer in the VIP room on the second floor!
Sui Yi looked towards the sound and could vaguely see a young man through the window. However, a veil obscured her view, so she couldn't make out who he was.
No matter who it is, she's a rich woman now! Selling pills is indeed a highly profitable business. Sui Yi estimates that even the "candy" given to the big shots and stars can definitely fetch a good price.
In this world, spirit stones are used as currency for exchange. Spirit stones are categorized into top-grade, high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade. According to the conversion, one mid-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and one high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones. Top-grade spirit stones are indeed quite rare and are considered treasures. Generally, almost no one would exchange top-grade spirit stones because cultivators can absorb the vast spiritual energy within them. Ordinary people already find it difficult to obtain even a high-grade spirit stone.
If we consider a low-grade spirit stone as one dollar, then a mid-grade one is one hundred dollars, and a high-grade one is one hundred dollars, so a high-grade one is equal to ten thousand dollars. The person on the second floor paid eight thousand high-grade spirit stones; multiplying ten thousand by eight thousand results in seven zeros!
Hahaha! I'm rich! Just one pill and I'm a rich woman, hehe! Sui Yi laughed to herself.
"Tch! It seems that even after reincarnation, one's perspective has narrowed. Back then, what were high-grade spirit stones? Even if top-grade spirit stones were piled up like mountains, I wouldn't be this happy." Ah Xing looked at the person chuckling to the side and expressed his disdain.
"The VIP on the second floor has offered eight thousand high-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else bidding?" The hostess looked around and asked with a smile.
"If nobody wants it, then I'll smash it!"
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!" From another room on the second floor, a voice, though strong, sounded somewhat aged, indicating it belonged to an old man.
"Ten thousand yuan, is there anything higher?"
"Thirteen thousand dollars!" The young master raised the price again.
