The people from Dan Pavilion were caught off guard by Mu Jinyu's challenge.
They had come here just to go through the motions, planning to settle the last bid with four or five pieces of Spiritual Medicine, or at most eight pieces of third-level Spirit Medicine, and take both the alchemy arts and Alchemy Furnace into their possession.
Logically speaking, even though everyone attending the auction knew the situation well and understood that they wouldn't bring much Spiritual Medicine with them, no one would dare to challenge their bid!
After all, if challenged, Dan Pavilion wouldn't be able to present the said quantity of Spiritual Medicine, wouldn't that mean losing face completely?
If Dan Pavilion lost face, naturally, they would loathe the challenger to the death; it would likely be a fight to the bitter end!
Who would dare to challenge and watch the drama unfold?
