110: Chapter 110 The Miserable Bald Man

“Oh, Xiao Qian, don’t keep us in suspense. Hurry up and unveil it so everyone can see,” someone in the Earth-Rank private room couldn’t help but say.

Xiao Qian smiled and then pulled off the red cloth covering it.

Inside an open jade box lay a crystal-clear Medicinal Pill, emitting waves of Medicinal Pill fragrance and powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

“This, this, this, is this a Wang Rank Medicinal Pill?”

The people below the private rooms immediately became restless.

It must be said that in the Eastern Region, Spirit Medicine and Medicinal Pills were much rarer than Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Artifacts. After all, they were consumables, unlike Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Artifacts which one could use for half a lifetime and then pass on to their son after death. Medicinal Pills were different; once consumed, they were refined and turned into… well, converted into spiritual power.

“That’s right, this is a Wang Rank King-Forming Pill. I’m sure many of you present here understand that the King-Forming Pill, as its name suggests, gives those at Lie Hai Realm Great Perfection a great chance to Breakthrough to King Sealing Realm after consumption. Even King Sealing Realm powerhouses can significantly advance a minor Realm after taking it.

I now announce that the starting bid for this King-Forming Pill is five hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than fifty-seven million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

This was Xiao Qian’s first time hosting such a large-scale auction, and also the first time such a valuable treasure was being sold through her. Although she still wore a smile, she was incredibly nervous, her palms drenched in sweat.

From the moment the King-Forming Pill appeared, the VIPs below the private rooms gaped, their eyes filled with fervent desire. However, upon hearing the starting price of five hundred million, they were all like cold water had been splashed on them, their faces full of helplessness. Five hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, not to mention individuals, even some ordinary Sect forces might not be able to produce it.

Therefore, the final tenFinale treasures had nothing to do with them; they could only watch the show. This was entirely the main event for those in the private rooms.

Zhang Bufan lost interest when he saw it wasn't the Wang Grade Yuhun Grass, and casually leaned back onto the sofa.

“I bid six hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.” Finally, someone in the Earth-Rank private room couldn’t hold back and announced their price.

“I bid seven hundred million.”

“I bid seven hundred fifty million.”

“Eight hundred million.”

The price soared, quickly reaching one billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

“I bid one point two billion.”

Just then, Li Tiantao from Earth-Rank Private Room Seven spoke.

He was not far from King Sealing Realm, and his main purpose for attending this auction was for this Medicinal Pill.

Qin Haotian glanced at Li Tiantao, his expression somewhat gloomy. Although Li Tiantao was a Lingxiao Sect Saint, his personal wealth could not possibly produce one point two billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; the main reason was the support from Lingxiao Sect.

Heaven-Rank Private Room Three.

The beautiful woman glanced at her beloved disciple and smiled, “Qingxue, do you need this King-Forming Pill?”

Luo Qingxue shook her head and said indifferently, “Master, I have already touched the threshold of King Sealing Realm. As long as the opportunity arises, I can Breakthrough at any time. Moreover, I feel that using Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough always has drawbacks.”

“Heh heh, you’re right. Using Medicinal Pills to Breakthrough is naturally not as perfect as a natural progression,” the beautiful woman affectionately stroked Luo Qingxue’s head and said with a smile, “But Qingxue, the great era is about to arrive. You need to Cultivate even harder, and your stage should not be here in the Eastern Region, but the broader sky outside.”

“Master, I understand.” Luo Qingxue nodded.

Since Li Tiantao bid one point two billion, no one else made an offer.

Although the King-Forming Pill was precious, it also had a price limit. If it exceeded too much, it would be unnecessary, unless it was someone who desperately needed this Medicinal Pill.

Ultimately, this Wang Rank King-Forming Pill was successfully bid on by Li Tiantao for one point two billion.

“Haha, thank you, Fellow Daoists, for yielding.” Li Tiantao’s hearty laughter came from Earth-Rank Private Room Seven.

This laughter meant nothing to others, but to Qin Haotian’s ears, it made him feel particularly frustrated and grating.

“Junior Sister, Senior Brother is a bit sleepy. I’ll sleep for a while. When the Wang Grade Yuhun Grass is auctioned, you can wake me up.” After Zhang Bufan finished speaking, he closed his eyes and slept without waiting for Fire Qingrou’s reply. Soon, snoring could be heard.

Fire Qingrou glared at Zhang Bufan and softly hummed in acknowledgment.

The auction continued, with one after another of the final treasures being brought onto the auction stage, eventually being bought by people in the Earth-Rank private rooms or Heaven-Rank private rooms. As for those below the private rooms, they became mere spectators, completely unqualified to participate in the bidding.

When the seventh treasure was brought onto the auction stage, Fire Qingrou gently nudged Zhang Bufan.

Zhang Bufan groggily rubbed his nose, adjusted his sleeping position, and continued to sleep soundly.

Fire Qingrou really wanted to slap Zhang Bufan on the forehead, but he was still her Senior Brother, so Fire Qingrou didn’t dare to do so. She looked at Baldy, who was sleeping soundly right next to Senior Brother, and a flash of inspiration struck Fire Qingrou. She thought of something and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

She grabbed Baldy, aimed Baldy’s butt at Zhang Bufan, and pressed it against him.

Zhang Bufan only felt his nose tickle, then slowly opened his eyes. He saw Baldy pressed against his face, and with each breath, Baldy’s rear truly expanded and contracted rhythmically.

“Holy crap!” Zhang Bufan roared, grabbing Baldy. His nose was almost twisted out of shape from anger, and he wished he could eat it raw.

“Senior Brother, you’re awake! It seems like the Wang Grade Yuhun Grass is on stage. I was just about to wake you up!” Fire Qingrou turned around, her face full of surprise.

Although her expression seemed very natural, the deep smile in her eyes could not be hidden, and her whole body was trembling slightly, truly trying hard to hold it in.

Upon hearing Fire Qingrou’s words, Zhang Bufan quickly looked towards the auction stage. He saw a dark green small grass in a wooden box, emitting strong Soul fluctuations.

“It really is Wang Grade Yuhun Grass.” Zhang Bufan’s face showed a look of surprise, then he glanced at Baldy in his hand and said fiercely, “You bald donkey, you’ve gotten bold! How dare you sleep on my face? Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you.”

Baldy looked bewildered. It had been sleeping soundly and had no idea what happened, only to be dangled in the air by Zhang Bufan, who looked as if he wanted to kill it.

Hundred Li Jingang, holding a Spiritual Artifact Fire Qingrou gave him, quietly turned away. He had seen everything that just happened, but he dared not speak. Due to extreme nervousness, to relieve the pressure, he could only bite large chunks out of the great saber in his hand.

“Chirp chirp chirp!” Baldy shrank its neck, but still chirped a few times. It wanted to understand what was going on. Even if it died, it wanted to be a bird that died knowing why.

How could Zhang Bufan explain to it? He directly slapped it several times, hitting Baldy so hard that it saw stars.

It was also at this moment that the bidding for the Wang Grade Yuhun Grass began, with a starting price of five hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

“One billion Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.” Zhang Bufan didn’t even look, directly shouting towards the auction stage.
