173: Chapter 173 I'm here to cause trouble today!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall instantly erupted into an uproar.

Especially the female companions accompanying the wealthy tycoons, as well as some older Cultivators whose cultivation had stagnated, their eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

Eternal youth! Sixty years of extended life!

Such a divine Medicinal Pill is rare in this world!

In the Supreme box on the ninth floor, Reba immediately jumped up from the sofa, her eyes fixed intently on the jade box below the crystal wall.

"Boss! I want this! Buy it for me, okay?" Reba shook Su Yang's arm, acting coquettishly.

As a female celebrity, the temptation of eternal youth was simply fatal to her.

Mary also set down her red wine glass. "Boss, I want it too. Although the Blood Clan has a long lifespan, this kind of Medicinal Pill can improve skin quality. It's also good for Face when going out."

Even Lin Lang, who was always cold and aloof, paused the movement of her hands, a trace of longing flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Su Yang opened his eyes and swept his gaze over the jade box below.

"Is this lousy Medicinal Pill really worth getting so excited about?" Su Yang's tone carried a thick sense of disdain.

"The refining technique for this Beauty-Preserving Pill is extremely crude, and at least half of its medicinal efficacy has been lost. It barely qualifies as a defective product. Aren't you afraid your Faces will rot if you eat it?"

Reba was stunned.

The divine Medicinal Pill that was hard to find for a thousand gold outside was actually a Face-rotting defective product in the boss's eyes?

Red Rose stood on the exhibition stage, her smile becoming increasingly charming.

"There are three top-grade Beauty-Preserving Pills in total, to be auctioned in three separate rounds."

"The first one has a starting price of 100 million! Each bid must be no less than 10 million. The auction begins!"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the first-floor hall immediately raised a bidding paddle.

"150 million!" A pot-bellied wealthy businessman shouted. He was hugging a young and beautiful female companion, clearly trying to win a smile from a beauty.

"200 million!"

"300 million!"

The price soared all the way, and in just half a minute, it broke through the 500 million mark.

For wealthy businessmen in the secular world, money was just a string of numbers. Being able to buy sixty years of life and youth with money was simply too good a deal.

Qi Ziming sat in the front row and sneered. He raised his paddle directly.

"1 billion!"

The whole venue was in an uproar.

Increasing the price by 500 million at once directly intimidated many people who wanted to pick up a bargain.

Qi Ziming leaned back in his chair, his Face full of arrogance. His Family lacked nothing but money. He was determined to get this Beauty-Preserving Pill and planned to take it back to honor the elders in his Family.

Seeing Qi Ziming's bid, the smile in Red Rose's eyes deepened.

"Young Master Qi bids 1 billion! Is there any higher bid?"

The hall was deathly silent. Buying a single Medicinal Pill for 1 billion had already exceeded the psychological expectations of most people.

Just as Red Rose was about to bring down the hammer to finalize the deal, a lazy voice suddenly came from the Supreme box on the ninth floor.

"10 billion."

The voice was not loud, but it clearly spread to every corner of the venue.

The entire venue was deathly silent. Everyone was doubting whether there was something wrong with their ears.

10 billion?! Buying a Medicinal Pill with a starting price of 100 million? They must be crazy!

Qi Ziming stood up abruptly, staring fixedly at the crystal wall on the ninth floor. Although he couldn't see the person inside, he could recognize that this voice was the young man who had humiliated him at the entrance just now!

"10 billion? Can a poor wretch like you even come up with 10 billion! Stop spouting nonsense here and disrupting the auction order!" Qi Ziming roared loudly.

Red Rose was also stunned for a moment. Tianbao Pavilion had held countless auctions, but she had never seen a guest increase the price so absurdly.

But she knew what the Supreme box on the ninth floor meant. Whoever was sitting inside was definitely a top-tier VIP of Tianbao Pavilion.

"Young Master Qi, please watch your words. The VIP in the Supreme box holds a Purple Gold Token and possesses an unlimited overdraft limit at our pavilion. Since he bid 10 billion, Tianbao Pavilion will naturally honor it." Red Rose's tone was calm, but it carried a hint of warning.

Qi Ziming felt as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water. His Face turned livid.

He gritted his teeth and raised his paddle. "10.1 billion!"

He didn't believe that a kid of unknown origin would really dare to compete with his Family in financial power!

Inside the Supreme box, Reba and Mary were both stunned. Didn't the boss say this Medicinal Pill was a defective product? Why would he bid such a high price?

Su Yang picked up his teacup and took a light sip. A playful smirk curled the corner of his mouth.

"20 billion."

The three lightly spoken words crashed into the hall once again.

The hearts of all the wealthy tycoons and Cultivators in the hall twitched violently.

Increasing the price by 10 billion at a time? This wasn't just being a nouveau riche; this was pure insanity!

Qi Ziming's eyes were bloodshot, and he was trembling with rage.

20 billion was not a small sum that could be used casually, even for the Qi Family. Spending 20 billion to buy one Beauty-Preserving Pill just to win an argument would surely result in him being skinned alive when he got back.

"You're ruthless! This young master won't lower himself to argue with a madman!" Qi Ziming slammed down his bidding paddle and sat back in his chair, his chest heaving violently.

Red Rose took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

"20 billion going once! 20 billion going twice! 20 billion going three times! Sold!"

As the gong sounded, the first Beauty-Preserving Pill was sold at an astronomical price.

In the box, Lin Lang looked at Su Yang, her Face full of confusion.

"Master, since you look down on this Medicinal Pill, why did you spend 20 billion to buy it?"

Su Yang put down his teacup and stretched lazily.

"Did I ever say I wanted to buy it?"

The three women were all stunned. If you weren't buying it, why were you shouting out random prices?

"I have too much money burning a hole in my pocket, so I just shouted for fun. Consider it livening up the atmosphere for everyone." Su Yang's tone was matter-of-fact.

"But... this is an auction at Tianbao Pavilion. Malicious bidding will cause big trouble." Lin Lang said with some concern.

Su Yang sneered.

"Trouble? I came here today specifically to look for trouble. By the way, I want to see what this so-called Tianbao Pavilion is really made of."

Just then, the door of the box was gently knocked.

Two beautiful maids walked in carrying an exquisite tray. On the tray was the top-grade Beauty-Preserving Pill that had just been auctioned off.

"Respected sir, this is the Beauty-Preserving Pill you purchased. Please inspect it." The maid knelt respectfully on the ground, offering the tray with both hands.

Su Yang didn't even look at the Medicinal Pill on the tray. He kicked the coffee table over directly.

Bang! The jade coffee table shattered into pieces. The spirit fruits and immortal tea on it were scattered all over the floor.

The two maids screamed in fright and collapsed onto the floor.

"You're trying to fool me with this trashy Medicinal Pill that's only fit to feed dogs? And you dare to ask for 20 billion? Do you really take me for a fool with too much money to burn?"

Su Yang stood up, his voice imbued with spiritual power, piercing directly through the crystal wall and making the entire Wolong Mountain Villa hum with vibration.

"Call your person in charge out! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I will tear down this lousy villa!"
