Chapter 849: What a Big Deal
Inside the box, Bei Mingche clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white. She looked in the direction where the voice came from, her eyes filled with both unwillingness and curiosity. That cold voice, like a passing chill wind, suddenly escalated the battle.
Luo Li also sat up straight, "Ten billion, what a huge sum."
"Yes," Xie Shiyuan also sighed, "Ten billion is more than the value of the Frost Moon Bow. Who on earth is so generous in exporting it? I'm afraid no one will compete with him now."
In a box on the third floor, the flickering candlelight illuminated a man in a black cloak.
The edge of the cloak slipped off, revealing a cuff embroidered with intricate silver patterns, and his slender fingers gently stroked the cup.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes penetrated through the layers of curtains, looking directly at the changing situation downstairs.
The moonlight outside the window was thin, but it just happened to outline his well-defined profile, a touch of coldness and arrogance intertwined, which made people feel awe.
The box was silent, with only his steady breathing as the sound.
The auction hall was silent for a while. Ten billion yuan, although everyone on the third floor could afford it, but when it came to a supreme master's weapon, it required careful consideration.
The auctioneer brought down the hammer again, "Ten billion soul coins twice!"
Silence...
The auctioneer took a deep breath and said, "Ten billion soul coins three times! Congratulations to this guest!"
The sound of the hammer falling echoed throughout the auction hall, announcing that the ownership of the Frost Moon Bow had been settled.
At the same time, the lights downstairs seemed to dim, and all eyes were focused on the mysterious box on the third floor, filled with endless curiosity.
They didn't know who the big shot was, but they couldn't rush in to see, so they could only talk in low voices.
At the same time, everyone on the third floor once again focused their attention on the auction table.
It's coming.
In the box, Luo Li yawned softly, "It's finally over."
Xie Shiyuan relaxed and said, "Are you really bored?"
Luo Li looked at her and smiled, "It's okay, mainly because there's nothing that interests me."
On the auction stage, the auctioneer's voice became even louder. "Next, it's the last lot of this auction!"
Everyone's breathing suddenly became heavier. Here it comes!
As the auctioneer finished speaking, the lights on the central auction platform suddenly brightened, and two small auction platforms rose from the bottom, each with ten jade bottles placed on it.
Under the crowd's heated gazes, the auctioneer loudly said, "That's right, they are the Supreme Lord-level elixirs, the Enlightenment Pill and the Nirvana Pill! I believe there's no need for me to introduce these two elixirs in detail."
"There are a total of ten Nirvana Pills and ten Enlightenment Pills. The pills will be auctioned individually. The starting price of each pill is 100 million Spirit Coins, and each bid cannot be less than one million!"
"The first item to be auctioned is the Nirvana Pill. The starting price is 100 million Spirit Coins. The auction has begun!"
As the auctioneer finished speaking, the venue instantly became boiling with noise. Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating Nirvana Pill, and the heat in their eyes seemed to be able to melt the pill.
On the first floor, an old man in a tattered robe stood up suddenly, his fingers trembling slightly, and he was the first to shout out the price: "One hundred and ten million!"
Before he finished speaking, a masked woman's cold voice rang out from the other side: "One hundred and twenty million."
A hint of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes, and he slowly sat down.
Luo Li lowered her eyes and saw him, then she said to Barrett, "Go find out what's going on."
Barrett raised an eyebrow, "Want to help him?"
Luo Li chuckled, "You know I can't bear to see good old people suffer. Besides, I have the ability to help, so why not?"
A soft look flashed across Barrett's eyes. "Got it. I'll go."
At the auction, bidding sounds rose one after another, the amount of soul coins rose like a tide, the air was filled with tension and enthusiasm, and the brilliant light of Nirvana Pill became more and more dazzling in this fierce competition.
Barrett's figure flashed, and he moved lightly among the crowded crowd, like a fish swimming in water.
He approached the old man and asked the waiter beside him in a low voice in a casual manner.
The waiter looked embarrassed, but he could not resist Barrett's gentle yet unquestionable look, and finally lowered his voice to reveal some information.
Barrett's lips curled up into a smile, and when he turned around, his eyes met with the old man's, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning. Then he returned to Luo Li's side quietly, with a glimmer of insight in his eyes.
"I found out."
Luo Li raised her eyes and said, "Tell me about it."
Barrett nodded. "This old man is quite famous. I heard he's quite powerful. He usually takes on commissions from mercenary guilds to earn Spirit Coins. But the reason he looks a bit poor is because of a child he picked up."
Luo Li sat up straight, "A child you picked up?"
Barrett nodded slightly, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
He lowered his voice, "Almost everyone in Luoyue City knows that the child is sick and frail. The old man has devoted all his resources to seeking medical treatment for him, even risking his life in dangerous places to pick precious spiritual plants to prolong his life, but the effect is minimal. This time, he probably hopes to try his luck at the Nirvana Pill to prolong his life."
Xie Shiyuan was stunned, "I know who you are talking about."
She sighed, "He is indeed a pitiful man, and so is the child he picked up."
Luo Li lowered her eyes, "Then give them two pills, Barrett."
Barrett smiled and said, "I know. I'll go see you off when we're done."
Luo Li nodded and looked down. Some people might say that she was too kind-hearted, but she always did what she wanted.
To her, these two pills were just two grains of sand that slipped out from between her fingers, but to someone like her, they were like a life-saving straw.
After this little episode, the ownership of the first Nirvana Pill has been decided and it was bought by the God of War for 2.7 billion.
Soon the pills began to be auctioned again.
The second Nirvana Pill was bought by Luo Yueling for 2.6 billion, the third was bought by Bei Mingche for 2.8 billion, and the fourth...
There were a total of ten Nirvana Pills, which were sold at a high price of 24.2 billion yuan, and the last one was sold at a price of 3 billion Lingpo coins.
Luo Li smiled in the private room, "Not bad, not bad. It seems that I won't need to sell pills in the short term."
Xie Shiyuan complained: "Is this what an alchemist is? You're also a weapon refiner. Oh my god, is this even fair?"
She touched her chest exaggeratedly, as if she had suffered a great blow, and her peach blossom eyes were wide open.
Luo Li gently shook the teacup in her hand, and the spiritual tea emitted a faint mist. Her smile looked even more cool and beautiful in the haze.
She chuckled, "Okay, how about giving you another Nirvana Pill?"
"Hehe," Xie Shiyuan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."
Luo Li laughed, "No need to be polite to me."
