129 The Auction With The Whopping Price

"Everyone, you may start your bidding now."

Elder Yu gave a cunning smile. If he did not use such methods, how would he have been able to hold all these different powers in check? Of course, this was a method that was taught by Gu Ruoyun, otherwise, they would not be going all out during the first few rounds.

After a moment of silence, boisterous voices of dispute erupted again. After all, they understood very well that if they were not able to obtain a pill during this round, they would have to pay a higher price for it in the next.

"4 million gold coins!"

Ba Zhentian gritted his teeth in silent fury. Undoubtedly, in order to get into the good graces of his wife, he was going to go all out now.

However, all the other people did not seem to approve of it. His wife was already old and frail. As the leader of an underground force, why would he need to fear an old hag after all?

"6 million gold coins!"

A seductive voice that possessed an alluring and enchanting tone rose up nonchalantly, "I really want this Beauty Rejuvenation Pill. I wonder whether all of you could let me have it instead? I would be deeply grateful for it."

"Haha, Sheji, your beauty is well known all over the world. Why would you still need to compete for the pill with us? Surely you do not plan to have every man in this world to fall head over heels for you?"

The seductive lady covered her mouth as she smiled, "I’m very fascinated by the art of refining this pill so I just wanted to do some research on this pill. Moreover, who would be disgusted by her own beauty, right?"

This time, Elder Yu managed to force out those who did not plan to expose their fortunes from the start. The look on Ba Zhentian's face began to turn glum and sullen as his forehead became cold and clammy with sweat. Mind you, although his fortunes and power were quite potent, however, when faced with so many other formidable forces, his power was still slightly inadequate.

Before long, this round of auction was won by Sheji with the winning bid of 20 million gold coins. Such a shocking scene was so astounding that Luo Yin, who was in the box seat, could not help but click her tongue.

"It was only one freaking pill, on top of that, it was a pill that merely changes the appearance of a woman. Who would have thought that it would be sold at a price of 20 million gold coins! Such a huge amount of money is something that we would never ever be able to earn in our entire life."

When she heard this, Susu, who had been silent since the very beginning, finally opened her mouth, "Even if this mainland was dominated by cultivators, it is perfectly normal for the cultivators to want to become good looking as well. All the more so, they are willing to spend a fortune for this, which is why it is not odd at all for a Beauty Rejuvenation Pill to be able to fetch such a price."

As she was listening, Gu Ruoyun swept a glance towards Susu but did not say a single word.

Not too long after that, the third and the fourth pills were sold at a price of 50 million and 100 million gold coins respectively. Of course, Ba Zhentian, who was in a pitiable state, did not manage to get his hands on a pill at all. His face had begun to turn anxious with restlessness in spite of himself, and his fist was clenched so hard that it was now clammy with sweat.

"There is still one last pill left. I’m going to get it no matter what!"

Taking a deep breath, there was a look of determination in Ba Zhentian's eyes.

"Next will be the last pill in our auction."

Elder Yu chuckled in delight, it was apparent that he was fully satisfied with the outcome today. Despite the fact that Hundred Herb Hall had a high revenue usually, it was still pretty much impossible to make a 100 million gold coins in a day. Without a doubt, this young lady has already surpassed her teacher. He had a feeling that in the near future, she would yield results that would unquestionably outshine Gu Tian.

"This time, the starting bid of the pill will remain at 3 million gold coins. By all means, this could be the last Beauty Rejuvenating Pill in this world. You had better think carefully. Once you missed this opportunity of a lifetime, there would probably be no other chance like this in the future."

Elder Yu only used the word 'probably' and not 'surely'. There was still a leeway in his words actually. However, to everyone else, they had understood it as such and thought that if they had missed out on this one final shot, there would not be any more chances to obtain the pill in the future.

At once, an uproar burst out in the room.
