"Master, the flame power on this Fire Scale Stone is so attractive to me. With the Fire Scale Stone, I am confident that I can break through to the Saint Beast level." Bi Qiong said excitedly.
Ruan Xiyan understood, "Since you need it, I will definitely get it for you."
She looked towards the lobby on the first floor and called out the price, "Nine million."
"Nine million two hundred thousand."
"Nine and a half million." Ruan Xiyan calmly raised the price.
"Nine million six hundred thousand!"
"Ten million."
When Ruan Xiyan made another bid, everyone present gasped.
They all looked up in the direction from which the sound came, and when they saw it was still that familiar room on the second floor...
While feeling moved, they couldn't help but speculate.
Who is sitting in private room number one on the second floor? They must be so rich!
Previously, she would ask for a price for anything she liked.
And she bought everything that was offered for her, ensuring that none of them ended up in anyone else's hands.
The key was the way she calmly bid, as if she wasn't talking about spirit stones, but just a string of numbers.
Although I know that the person who can sit on the second floor must be someone of noble status and background.
However, the people in the other private rooms on the second floor did not dare to ask for prices as freely as Ruan Xiyan.
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan bid without hesitation each time, it was clear that she was determined to win the bid.
Since that's the case, no one will continue to follow and film meaninglessly, since the outcome is already predetermined.
Why bother offending that important person? You might end up offending a powerful figure you can't afford to offend, which would be a huge loss.
"Ten million low-grade spirit stones per time."
"Ten million low-grade spirit stones twice."
"Ten million low-grade spirit stones three times."
"Deal made. This Fire Scale Stone will be assigned to Private Room Number One."
Ruan Xiyan obtained the Fire Scale Stone for ten million low-grade spirit stones.
"Next up is a Grade 6 Life-Returning Pill. The ingredients used to refine this pill are quite special. Although it's only a Grade 6 pill, it can nourish the soul and restore vitality," said Master Xia.
"A sixth-grade Life-Returning Pill! It's finally here! I've been waiting all night, and it's finally here!"
"As expected of an auction held by the Alchemist Association, they even put out precious sixth-grade pills for auction."
"However, this Grade 6 Life Rejuvenation Pill is not the final, grand finale."
"That's right, could the grand finale of tonight's auction be even more precious and rare than a sixth-grade Life Return Pill?"
"My cousin's nephew's wife's nephew works at Mingyue Tower. He said that the sixth-grade Shengfan Dan was originally the grand finale of the auction."
"But then another item was suddenly added to the auction, directly replacing the sixth-grade Life Return Pill and becoming the final item," the people below whispered.
"Is it too late for me to raise the money now?!"
"The starting bid for this Rejuvenation Pill is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones," Xia Louzhu continued.
The exchange rate between low-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit stones is one thousand to one. One thousand low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one mid-grade spirit stone, while one thousand mid-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone.
Even in the cultivation world, high-grade spirit stones are extremely rare, and are only controlled by a few powerful forces.
Ordinary people mostly possess low-grade spirit stones, followed by mid-grade spirit stones.
"Three hundred and ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!" A hoarse voice suddenly rang out in a private room on the second floor.
The room fell silent instantly as everyone turned to look towards private room number three on the second floor.
Even Ruan Xiyan looked towards that private room, though she couldn't see who was inside.
It took a long time for anyone to realize what was happening.
"High-grade... spirit stones? And a hundred thousand of them!"
"Where did this important person come from?" The people present whispered among themselves.
"Even a special Rejuvenation Pill wouldn't be worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones for a sixth-grade pill."
"Are you crazy? You can't just throw money around like that," someone muttered under their breath.
These spirit stones are worth far more than the pill itself.
Ruan Xiyan was deep in thought. The only forces capable of producing so many high-grade spirit stones, besides the upper-class and top-tier forces, were some reclusive forces that kept a low profile.
If a mid-tier power were to suddenly produce so many high-grade spirit stones, it would likely be a devastating blow, and no one would be willing to gamble everything just to buy a single rank-six pill.
Xia, the landlord, was clearly surprised as well. "Are there any other bidders?"
"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones per time."
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones twice."
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones three times."
"Sold. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in private room number three," said Master Xia with a smile, truly surprised that a sixth-grade pill could fetch such a high price.
"Next up is the highly anticipated grand finale item, a fifth-grade elixir, the Ice Heart Pill."
After Xia finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out below.
"A fifth-grade pill?! You're not kidding, are you?"
"That's right, how could it be a fifth-grade pill? Shouldn't the grand finale be even more precious than a sixth-grade Life-Returning Pill?"
"Is Mingyue Tower mistaken?"
"We've been looking forward to this for ages, and this is what they show us!"
"......"
"Quiet!" Master Xia shouted, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"The pill is only grade five, but this pill is engraved with pill patterns, and there are six of them."
"What! Six Paths of Pill Pattern! Did I hear that right?!"
"The more red patterns a pill contains, the higher its quality and the less risk of it being poisonous."
"A fifth-grade pill with six Dan patterns, its medicinal properties and quality are comparable to ordinary sixth-grade pills."
"The key is that pills with six-line pill patterns are extremely rare, even rarer than sixth-grade pills."
Master Xia clapped his hands, and a maid brought up the pills.
As soon as the pill appeared, its rich fragrance filled the entire Bright Moon Pavilion, and the six golden pill patterns on it were clearly visible to everyone.
"The starting bid for this Ice Heart Pill is one million mid-grade spirit stones," said Lord Xia, looking at the people present.
"The aroma of such strong medicinal herbs is so refreshing. It would be nice to take it back and enshrine it. I'll offer 1.1 million."
"One million two hundred thousand."
As soon as Xia Louzhu finished speaking, fierce bidding erupted in the room.
"One million four hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
"One million four hundred and fifty thousand."
"One million six hundred thousand!"
"......"
Ultimately, the Ice Heart Pill with six-line patterns was auctioned off to someone in a private room on the second floor for 5.3 million mid-grade spirit stones.
The auction concluded successfully, and Xia Louzhu personally brought the items that Ruan Xiyan had won to her private room.
This is someone that Elder Yan specifically instructed him to treat well, so he must be very careful in receiving him.
"Distinguished guest, these are all the items you just purchased at the auction, excluding these and the auction fees."
"The Ice Heart Pill that the distinguished guest auctioned still has 5.1 million mid-grade spirit stones remaining."
