One by one, the auction items were brought up and quickly sold. After two hours, Lu Xue said, “The next item to be auctioned is the finale of this auction and also the last item. I hope everyone will not be disappointed!”
Everyone’s spirits were lifted and they couldn’t help straightening their backs. In an instant, everyone in the auction hall could hear a pin drop.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill was about to appear!
Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Jin glanced at each other and both involuntarily sat up straight, their eyes fixed on the high platform. On the auction stage, a woman who looked like a maid walked up with a tray in her hands, with a smile on her face as she stood next to Lu Xue. The tray was covered with a red cloth, making it difficult to see what was underneath it.
Lu Xue lifted her hand and removed the red cloth, allowing everyone to see a jade bottle on the tray.
Lu Xue’s crisp voice resounded throughout the entire auction house, “One Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill can help a cultivator comprehend the creation's aura when promoting to Open Heaven, greatly increasing their chances of successfully breaking through to Open Heaven. With this pill’s assistance, as long as one’s aptitude isn’t too bad, they can definitely break through to Open Heaven. This pill starting price is One Open Heaven Pill, any price increase is up to you!”
Saying so, Lu Xue stood on the auction stage and didn’t say anything else.
Compared to the previous auction items that had caused such a huge uproar and countless people competing to increase the price, the appearance of this finale item had caused everyone to stare at Lu Xue in disbelief.
Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Jin also looked at each other, almost thinking they had heard wrong.
One Open Heaven Pill as the starting price for a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill?
Although all the previous auction items had been auctioned off with one Open Heaven Pill as a starting price without exception, this was a long-lost Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill. It was a pill that could move even the Cave Heaven Paradise, yet it also has a starting price of one Open Heaven Pill?
Shocked, no one dared to raise the price, fearing that the price they shouted would sully this precious pill.
The auction hall suddenly fell into a strange silence as rapid breathing sounds rang out.
Lu Xue, who was standing on the stage, was a bit stunned. She thought she hadn’t made herself clear, how could the atmosphere suddenly become so cold?
Suddenly, a weak voice rang out, “Elder Lu, may I ask if your Noble Sect’s Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill really have one Open Heaven Pill starting price?”
Lu Xue lightly replied, “Yes!”
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, “But how could a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill be auctioned off for such a precious treasure… Elder Lu, don’t joke around. We have low cultivation and shallow knowledge, we have never seen such a pill before.”
If one hadn’t seen it before, it was impossible to tell if it was real or fake. In fact, in these 3000 Worlds, how many people had seen the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill?
Although this person hadn’t finished speaking, there were many cultivators present who were quick-witted, so how could they not understand the meaning behind his words? This fellow suspected that the Void Land had made some kind of fake Spirit Pill to pass off as a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, but he didn’t dare to speak openly, so he beat around the bush.
When Shopkeeper Tong heard this, he sneered in his heart. The person who said this was really stupid. Void Land’s massive investment this time was undoubtedly to boost Star City’s reputation. In the past, all of the auctioned items had been sold at a great loss. Now that this Heavenly Yuan Positive Pill was auctioned off, although it was a bit outrageous, Void Land might not necessarily lack such courage.
Not to mention, this was the first time an auction was being held in the Void Land, so if they dared to sell a fake thing as real thing, their reputation would be ruined. Who would come to support them in the future?
So no matter what, the Heavenly Yuan Positive Pill should not be fake.
On the auction stage, Lu Xue looked in the direction of the man and said, “This Queen’s Sect Master has ordered us to come here to host this auction. This Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill was given to us by the Sect Master and was personally refined by him. Many of my Void Land’s Open Heaven have also benefited greatly. If anyone feels that this pill is fake, there is no need to participate in the auction. My Void Land does not insist on it. One Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, starting price of one Open Heaven Pill, please bid!”
Shopkeeper Jin cleared his throat and shouted, “This old master bids a thousand Open Heaven Pills!”
Not to mention the Thousand Open Heaven Pill, this Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill could even be worth ten million Open Heaven Pill, so Shopkeeper Jin naturally didn’t expect his own bid to be able to bid for this pill. The first thing he said was firstly to inquire about the situation, and secondly to express goodwill towards Void Land, but he didn’t know if Void Land would take his actions seriously.
Among all the previous auction items, the highest price was only a thousand Open Heaven Pills. Shopkeeper Jin’s price was only a drop in the ocean compared to the true value of the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, but it was still reasonable under such circumstances.
As soon as his voice fell, a series of bids came from all directions.
In just three breaths of time, the price had already exceeded ten thousand and was rapidly rising.
Shopkeeper Jin and Shopkeeper Tong would occasionally turn their heads to look in the direction of the bidders, observing the reactions and expressions of these potential opponents and deducing their limits.
When the two old foxes gathered together, all they needed to do was wait until everyone was exhausted and their eyes were bloodshot before jumping out and striking a decisive blow!
The atmosphere in the auction house suddenly became quite lively. As soon as the other party’s bid fell, another voice rang out. Many people hadn’t even called out their price when they discovered that the other party’s bid had already exceeded what they were prepared to call out, so they had no choice but to call out again.
In just twenty breaths of time, the price of the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill had exceeded 100,000!
At this point, there were only three people left who were still competing. These three people were undoubtedly the shopkeepers of a certain shop in the Star City. When the price reached 120,000, only two remained.
However, it was obvious that these two had reached their limits. Each time they raised the price, it wasn’t very high, and they were also gnashing their teeth as they shouted, as if they had some kind of deep grudge with each other.
Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper Jin looked at each other and nodded lightly.
After holding back for so long, it was finally time for them to take action. The two of them had been watching coldly from the sidelines for so long that they had a very good grasp of the situation. Now was the best time to take action.
“One hundred and thirty thousand!” Shopkeeper Jin called out his bid at a steady pace. This time, his bid had suddenly increased by ten thousand Open Heaven Pills.
Among the crowd, a cultivator with red eyes turned his head and angrily shouted, “Shopkeeper Jin, you…”
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and cupped his fists, “Shopkeeper Zhou, excuse me!”
Shopkeeper Zhou gnashed his teeth for a while before finally deciding to call out, “I offer 133,000!”
“One hundred and forty thousand!” Shopkeeper Jin said calmly.
Shopkeeper Zhou’s upright figure suddenly shrank as he deeply sighed and shook his head.
On the auction stage, Lu Xue remained silent for a moment. Seeing that no one else was raising the bid, after three rings, she finally made her decision!
Shopkeeper Jin and Shopkeeper Tong’s tightly clenched fists finally relaxed as they couldn’t help grinning madly.
It worked!
At this moment, Shopkeeper Tong was extremely glad that he had chosen to cooperate with Shopkeeper Jin. Otherwise, with just his wealth alone, he really wouldn’t have been able to win this auction. At the very least, Shopkeeper Zhou, who was still bidding, had more wealth than him.
A Spirit Pill worth tens of millions of Open Heaven Pills had been bought by the two of them at a price of one hundred and forty thousand. Such a lucrative transaction was probably a rare occurrence.
The reason for this was because the cultivators who remained in the Star City were all of low birth and had limited financial resources. Those who truly had connections and great financial resources had long since fled, otherwise, how could they have had the chance to take advantage of them!
Now, although the two of them had sold their goods cheaply and wouldn’t be able to do any business for the time being, as long as they waited for the right time, when Void Star City’s popularity gathered, they could find an opportunity to sell this spirit pill and make a huge profit.
Suddenly, Lu Xue’s voice rang out beside his ear, “Many thanks for everyone’s support this time, this auction will be considered to have come to an end. Three months from now, my Void Land will hold another auction, and at that time, another Heavenly Yuan Positive Seak will be auctioned. From now on, it will be like this every three months!”
Saying so, Lu Xue turned around and left.
In the auction house, many cultivators were stunned for a moment before they burst into an uproar.
Three months later, the Void Land would hold another auction, and there would also be a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill! This would happen every three months!
In other words, every three months, the Void Land would take out a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill to auction!
This was a massive amount of money! Many people had made a killing today, so when they heard that there would be an auction in three months, how could they restrain themselves?
This kind of opportunity to take advantage of a certain force was rare. If they missed this opportunity, there might be another opportunity next time. If they didn’t seize this opportunity, when Void Star City’s popularity exploded, it would no longer be a good opportunity.
Shopkeeper Jin and Shopkeeper Tong were stunned, their smiles suddenly becoming somewhat stiff.
After a while, Shopkeeper Tong took a deep breath and asked, “How many Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill are there in the Void Land?”
Being able to take it out for auction meant that the other party had an extra one, but didn’t this Spirit Pill have long been extinct? It was precisely because of this that its value was so high. If it was sold all over the street, it would be worthless.
Shopkeeper Jin’s eyes flashed as he said, “Just now, that Elder Lu said that this Spirit Pill was personally refined by the Void True Lord. It seems that the Void Land does have a lot of stock!”
“Then our Spirit Pills…” Shopkeeper Tong’s original joy turned into worry.
Shopkeeper Jin smiled, “What are you worried about? As long as this kind of Spirit Pill doesn’t appear in large quantities, its value will not decrease. Since Void Land wants to sell the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, naturally they will act appropriately, so this time we’ve made a big profit!”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Tong thought about it for a moment before smiling and saying, “Good, good, unless the Void Land wants to smash its own foot with a rock, it absolutely won’t let the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill value drop.”
“Let’s go!” Shopkeeper Jin stood up and said, “Let’s go get that Spirit Pill. I’ve never seen anything so precious.”
