19: Chapter 19 The Auction (Part 4)

“For those in the Qi Refining Stage, it can extend Lifespan by ten years; for Foundation Establishment Immortals, five years; and even Golden Core True Lords can gain one year of Lifespan!”

Wan'er smiled charmingly, her slender, pale fingertips gently holding the elixir bottle on the auction stage.

The flawless jade-like bottle rotated between her fingers, making people momentarily unsure whether to look at the bottle containing the longevity elixir or her delicate, fair fingers that seemed to be dancing.

The bottle settled steadily in her smooth palm, her tender white skin complementing the elixir bottle perfectly.

“Fellow Immortals, the longevity elixir starts at twenty thousand Spirit Stones, with minimum bids increasing by one thousand Spirit Stones each time.”

“One hundred thousand!” Su Xin spoke without hesitation, his bid completely crushing the starting price.

room 133, which had already attracted enough attention, once again became the focal point.

Cultivators who had intended to bid were stunned into silence.

With Luo Yunkai setting the precedent by spending four million Spirit Stones on the *Xirang*, while others coveted it, they were also extremely wary of room 133's financial might.

They were considering whether there was any value in continuing to bid.

“Let the people in room 133 spend more Spirit Stones; then we will gain less Spirit Stones later. That’s not cost-effective.”

“So what if he buys it? Who ends up with it is still unknown.”

“Heh, four million didn't drain him dry. Where did this fellow come from? A mere Qi Refining Stage Cultivator possessing millions of Spirit Stones? Could he be someone from a Small World, bringing the entire wealth of that Small World? If so, I’m becoming a little interested.”

...

In different rooms, similar attitudes were shown towards Su Xin's bid.

They all viewed room 133 as a big fat goose ready for plucking!

Su Xin’s gloomy eyes were fixed tightly on the elixir bottle in Wan'er’s hand, holding his breath.

Wan'er deliberately waited for several breaths, hoping for someone else to bid, but she was very disappointed.

Her beautiful eyes, filled with anticipation, swept across the windows on the fourth floor one by one.

“longevity elixir, one hundred thousand Spirit Stones for the first call. Are there really no fellow Immortals willing to increase the bid?”

No one responded.

She sighed mournfully. Usually, a longevity elixir would sell for at least one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Her red lips parted, about to finalize the sale, when a bid came from the eighth floor.

“One hundred and ten thousand!”

Wan'er’s beautiful eyes widened. She smiled and gave a slight curtsy towards the eighth floor, leaning forward slightly in an understanding manner, revealing that snowy cleavage which made people want to peek deeper.

Bai Shao’s eyes went straight. His plump body suddenly stood up, and he walked to the window, wishing he could stick his head out and crawl into that deep ravine to get a clear look.

The sight was truly disgraceful!

“Big Brother...”

Bai Ji said calmly, “If you like her, I’ll have her come find you after the auction ends.”

Bai Shao chuckled foolishly, his eyes completely hidden by the flesh on his face, “Big Brother is the best.”

“One hundred and fifty thousand!”

Bai Shao’s expression instantly hardened, and he snorted coldly, “A thing relying on others’ prestige! Others might not know Su Xin’s background, but how could I not know?”

“At most, you can only come up with three hundred thousand!”

“One hundred and sixty thousand!” Bai Shao raised his bid again.

In room 133, Su Xin remained calm. “Two hundred thousand!”

“Two hundred and ten thousand,” Bai Shao sneered.

Bai Ji looked at him, “Even if you buy it, he can’t take it away. Why bother getting angry with him?”

Bai Shao pouted, “Su Xin is not allied with that father and son pair. If he gets the longevity elixir, he will definitely run. Big Brother still needs to send men to watch that father and son pair. With only my own manpower, I might actually let him successfully take the longevity elixir back to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.”

Bai Ji shook his head helplessly, “Forget it. Anyway, a few hundred thousand Spirit Stones is not something I can't afford. Buying a longevity elixir isn't a loss. You bid for it.”

“Two hundred and fifty thousand!”

“Two hundred and sixty thousand.”

“Three hundred thousand!”

“Three hundred and ten thousand.”

Bai Shao sneered, “Big Brother, just watch. He’s going to be scrambling now, ha!”

“Knock knock knock...”

“Who is it? Come in,” Bai Shao made the decision for his Big Brother.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Bai Ji’s eyes.

The door opened, and a beautiful female Cultivator stood outside.

“Young Master, this servant has come to deliver a message.”

Bai Ji’s eyes moved slightly, and he waved to bring her into the room. The door slammed shut with a bang.

“Three hundred and twenty thousand!”

room 133 bid again. However, this time, the one bidding was not Su Xin, but...

That aged voice that shouted four million!

“He is standing up for him. Ah Shao, it seems the maid’s words are true. Give up.” Bai Ji’s voice was very calm.

But Bai Shao, who understood his own Big Brother well, knew this was the calm before the storm.

A flash of mockery crossed his eyes, directed at Luo Yunkai and the other two.

Angering his Big Brother like this, those three were finished.

“Fine!” Bai Shao agreed easily, without resentment.

Bai Ji glanced at him, “Don't be angry. Big Brother will make them regret it.”

Bai Shao smiled very happily, “I know.”

Bai Ji nodded, still feeling that he had made his second brother swallow his anger. He glanced at the maid who came to deliver the message.

The maid’s eyes trembled, and she understood immediately. She moved gracefully, falling into Bai Shao’s greasy embrace.

Bai Shao gave a lewd smile, his hands moving over her. Instantly, the beauty’s fragrant shoulder was exposed, and a large part of her snowy chest was bared to the air.

He was busy with his own pleasure; how could he care about the auction?

Even the Qingyun Sect's Senior Brother on the eighth floor gave up after Luo Yunkai made his bid. No one competed for the longevity elixir.

Wan'er was quite satisfied. Three hundred and twenty thousand, although not the highest auction price for a Grade Two longevity elixir, it was higher than most.

“Congratulations to room 133 for successfully purchasing another item. A maid will deliver the longevity elixir shortly.”

Wan'er handed the elixir bottle to the maid. The center of the auction stage opened, and another elixir bottle caught everyone's eye.

The elixir bottle had the words 'foundation establishment pill' pasted on it.

Wan'er smiled, “It’s another foundation establishment pill, but fellow Immortals, don’t be disappointed, because this is a Medium Grade foundation establishment pill.”

“As everyone knows, a foundation establishment pill can assist in Foundation Establishment. A Low Grade foundation establishment pill increases the success rate by thirty percent, while a Medium Grade foundation establishment pill increases the success rate by fifty percent.”

The beauty smiled charmingly, her words carrying boundless temptation, “Moreover, a Medium Grade foundation establishment pill can largely protect the meridians, reducing the danger of a failed Breakthrough to the minimum.”

The more Luo Yunkai listened, the hotter his heart became.

Wasn't he just screwed over by a Low Grade foundation establishment pill?

Not only did his Foundation Establishment fail, but his meridians were damaged, his strength plummeted, and his Lifespan was running out.

“Starts at twenty thousand Spirit Stones, with minimum bids increasing by one thousand each time. Fellow Immortals, please!”

“One hundred thousand!” Luo Yunkai bid five times the starting price immediately.

A ripple flowed through Wan'er’s eyes. She gave a deep bow towards the room where Luo Yunkai was, her face full of gratitude.

“One hundred thousand for the first call. Are there any other bids from fellow Immortals?”

This time, Wan'er was straightforward. “One hundred thousand for the second call, one hundred thousand for the third call! Congratulations to the fellow Immortal in room 133 for purchasing another item.”

Without any dispute, this Medium Grade foundation establishment pill was sold for a price lower than even the Low Grade foundation establishment pill.

Su Xin’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper. He looked at Luo Yunkai, “Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Did those people not have the Spirit Stones to bid against Luo Yunkai?

No, they considered Luo Yunkai’s Spirit Stones as their own, so naturally, they wouldn't bid at this moment.

Luo Yunkai waved his hand, “You haven’t bought the longevity elixir yet, and you want to leave?”

Su Xin was stunned.

Luo Yunkai stroked his beard, very calmly, “Don’t look at this old man. This old man doesn’t have much time left either. That longevity elixir was bought by this old man for himself.”

Su Xin kept a straight face but never brought up leaving again.
