"I believe there are many guests present who may not believe in the effectiveness of this type of Elixir Pills. So, let's invite Xiao Ya and Xiao Chu, two young ladies, to come up. They are sisters born of the same mother, with cultivation talents that are almost identical, both having achieved Small Success of Jade Dark. However, just an hour ago, Lady Xiao Ya received a True Essence Pill, and her cultivation immediately broke through to Yu Xuan Great Success," the middle-aged man invited them both onto the stage, and they each performed a set of Dark Skill.
The origins of Xiao Chu and Xiao Ya are well known to many of the guests in the venue. Such a direct comparison made the effects of the True Essence Pill self-evident.
"Two thousand one hundred,"
"Two thousand two hundred,"
The climbing price brought joy to both Yue Jinghua and the middle-aged man on stage.
The price of the first set of True Dark Pills was finally set at three thousand five hundred Dark Pills, a full one thousand five hundred more than what Yue Jinghua had sold to the nightclub.
The middle-aged man then brought out the second set of True Essence Pills, but unlike the first set: "For the second set of True Dark Pills, the quantity of Elixir Pills is still two, but in contrast to the first set, this second set of Dark Pills also comes with a True Dark Pill alchemy recipe, with a starting bid of four thousand Dark Pills."
Yue Jinghua's throat warmed up, and she nearly choked on her own saliva that she didn't swallow in time.
"The nightclub truly lives up to its reputation, such money-grabbers, even considering the alchemy recipe," Xie Yu said, marveling at the sight.
If the nightclub is likened to an old-established courtesan skilled in the arts of love, then Yue Jinghua in the business of auctions is more like a bashful young male prostitute. The alchemy recipe that Yue Jinghua inadvertently revealed in front of Lady Yao had become the best selling point for the second set of True Dark Pills.
For any type of Elixir Pill, the most important thing is not the pill itself, but the alchemy recipe.
With the alchemy recipe in hand, finding a veteran Pill Master, as long as the materials for the Elixir Pills themselves are not too complicated, True Dark Pills can be replicated.
"Four thousand," at this moment, a guest who had sat at the Four Stars seating area and had been silent thus far, raised his placard.
"Lie Family Mansion has made a move. A major family like the Lie Family always stations someone in the nightclub, and they never easily let go of any precious medicinal ingredients or Dark Skill that come up for sale," Xie Yu sneered.
In the nightclub, there exist entities such as the Lie Family that would not attend such small-scale auctions. Usually, their subordinates are responsible for purchasing useful items. Only during the monthly large auctions, or even the semi-annual ultra-large auctions, will important figures show up.
The value of something like True Dark Pills goes up significantly once it falls into the hands of Lie Family Mansion.
Firstly, if the alchemy recipe ends up in the hands of others, once True Dark Pills are produced, it would inevitably affect the status of the Lie Family in Shang Kingdom.
Secondly, if True Dark Pills were developed, it could elevate the overall strength of Lie Family Mansion by a notch.
The same thought firmly occupied the minds of the other families participating in the bidding.
The price of the alchemy recipe soared again, rising to an astonishing ten thousand Dark Pills.
The representative bidder for Lie Family Mansion also became excited, "Eleven thousand."
This jaw-dropping price finally suppressed the other buyers. Throughout the process, Yue Jinghua remained calm and unruffled. She even took a cup of fragrant tea from Xiao Ya's hand, blew on the steam, and began to sip it.
"Aren't you worried that if the people from Lie Family Mansion managed to create True Dark Pills, the next time you want to sell True Dark Pills, it won't be so easy," Xie Yu grew increasingly interested in this mysterious woman known as "Yue Xiaoqi."
In her tranquility, she is like a clear spring, prompting an involuntary desire to silently observe; in her agitation, she is like a sudden downpour, leaving no room to resist.
"Worry, why should I worry? Is the True Dark Pill something that just anyone can refine? Even Lady Yao is unable to refine True Dark Pills," under the heavens, only Chaos Green Lotus Fire can amalgamate three medicinal herbs with completely opposing attributes.
If the two old coots from the Lie Family knew that what they spent a fortune on was nothing but a worthless piece of paper, they'd probably be so angry they'd go senile on the spot.
"Yue Xiaoqi," Xie Yu unabashedly leaned in close to Yue Jinghua's ear and blew a breath, "This young master is growing more and more fond of you."
The next moment, his forehead, whiter than jade, took a fierce thwack.
"Next time, if you come that close again, it won't be your forehead that gets hit, but your lower half," Yue Jinghua's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, and Xie Yu hurriedly ducked down, pitifully shielding his lower body, while Xiao Ya, who saw this, giggled at the sight.
At the moment Xie Yu and Yue Jinghua were whispering intimately, "Divine Son?" Song Mu, sitting beside a man with purple eyes, suddenly felt a chill, as a faint anger emanated from the man.
But as Yue Jinghua coldly threatened and Xie Yu backed away with a full face of grievance, the anger dissipated, and as if he heard the whispers of the two, the man with purple eyes miraculously raised a handsome curve at the corner of his mouth.
Song Mu widened his eyes in shock. My goodness, the Divine Son smiled twice in one day.
Song Mu dared not look any longer, hurriedly retracted his thoughts, and focused his attention on observing the ongoing auction on the high platform.
The seventh round, the eighth round, the ninth round — except for the True Dark Pills, the following items at the auction proceeded in an orderly manner, each item fetching a price a thousand to two thousand higher than the starting bid, and no more abnormal prices like those of the second set of True Dark Pills occurred.
"The tenth item up for auction, and the last item for tonight, is the Sky Sun Shuttle. Legend has it that the Sky Sun Shuttle can penetrate the barrier between Yin and Yang, entering the Otherworld." Before the middle-aged man could finish, Qi Zhi had already jumped up, anxiously shouting: "Twenty thousand Dark Pills!"
"Thirty thousand Dark Pills," a refreshing voice, unhurried and serene, suddenly sounded.
