After much anticipation, the grand finale of the auction finally took place. When a graceful etiquette lady with a beautiful face walked onto the auction stage holding a delicate tray containing the divine elixir, the originally bustling auction house fell into absolute silence.
Almost everyone held their breath and focused their attention on the square of red silk on the tray. I just wish I could have a pair of clairvoyant eyes so that I could see the elegance of the Spirit Pill before others.
"Dad!" Qingying suddenly became nervous.
Qingzhuo patted her shoulder gently, his face looking many times more serious than before. [
Jin Qi had already laid the groundwork before. At this time, he stood up and looked around as if demonstrating. Everyone who met his eyes lowered their heads. But when Jin Qi's eyes swept over Hao Wan, Hao Wan just smiled slightly and looked away calmly. Not to mention Qingzhuo, who looked at each other with Jin Qi without giving in at all. Jin Qi frowned, vaguely feeling that there would be a fierce battle today, but he never thought at all that he might not be able to successfully capture the magic pill.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the grand finale of today's auction has finally arrived!" The auctioneer was very encouraging, and his excited voice completely ignited the atmosphere in the venue.
When the auctioneer carefully opened the red silk covering the divine elixir, a series of exclamations erupted from the audience.
Not only does the Spirit Pill have powerful effects, it also looks good. It is completely golden. If you don't look closely, you will mistake it for a golden bead. It is constantly emitting bursts of misty golden light, invisibly teasing people's desires. Coupled with the strong and refreshing medicinal fragrance, people are convinced of its efficacy and value.
"This divine pill is really a rare treasure. After taking it, you can break barriers and ascend to the realm in a very short period of time. What's even more rare is that this divine pill will also pave a way for everyone to practice. Smooth road, this means that after taking this elixir, future cultivation will be more effective with half the effort, and there is no need to use 'immortal water' to achieve breakthroughs."
The auctioneer's introduction to the Spirit Pill was relatively brief, but for those present, every word was a huge temptation. Before the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire auction house was already in an uproar.
The same words would be worthless if spoken by others, but it was a different matter coming from the chief auctioneer of Jubao Pavilion. The reputation of Jubao Pavilion is well-known in Tianyun Empire.
Just when everyone was excited and eager to try, Jin Qi's face turned gloomy. After taking the Spirit Pill, you no longer need the 'immortal water', which is something that the National Preceptor Association will never tolerate.
"After being appraised by Master Xuan Yantong, our chief treasure appraiser at Jubao Pavilion, this Spirit Pill is a treasure and its value is immeasurable. The starting price is now 10,000 gold coins. Everyone can bid now."
After the auctioneer finished explaining, Jin Qi stood up first and shouted loudly, "The master of the country has an order, and I am determined to get the divine elixir. Please consider it carefully before bidding."
Jin Qi moved the imperial master out from the beginning. There is no doubt that he wanted to take advantage of the situation to suppress others. Qingzhuo snorted coldly and said, "Jin Qi, you have falsely conveyed the Imperial Preceptor's will again and again, and you are not afraid that the Imperial Preceptor will cut out your tongue."
"Qing, do you know what you are talking about?" Jin Qi was furious.
But before he could finish his words, Hao Wan opened his mouth with a smile and said, "That's right! Mr. Jin, please don't just bring out the Imperial Master to scare people, okay?"
That's all Qingzhuo said. What Jin Qi didn't expect was that even Hao Wan would say that. A pair of eyes suddenly stared, pointed at Hao Wan and shouted, "Hao Wan, have you forgotten what I said to you?"
Hao Wan chuckled and said, "Hao Wan never dares to forget what Master Jin said. It's just that this divine elixir is of great significance to my Hao family. I can't help but feel sorry for you, Master Jin."
"You are so brave!" Jin Qi shouted, wishing to kill Hao Wan with one palm.
Seeing Jin Qi getting angry, Hao Shi was shocked. He gently pulled Hao Wan's sleeves with his hand and whispered, "Dad, don't be impulsive!"
Originally, the Hao family had already arranged for someone to raise the price, and originally wanted to quietly pocket the spirit pill, but then Hao Wan changed his mind and decided to confront Jin Qi tit for tat. Of course he didn't do this out of impulse, he actually had other plans.
Arranging others to bid on behalf of the wealthy family can hide the price from Jin Qi for a while, but it cannot hide it from him forever. Sooner or later it will be broad daylight. When Jin Qi learns that his wealthy family is secretly opposed to the National Preceptor Association, he will only become more resentful towards the wealthy family. It would be better to openly compete with him head-on now, which can show the prestige of the wealthy family, especially those who regard the wealthy family as Jin Qi's minions, completely shut their mouths. [
Hao Wan ignored Hao Shi's reminder, let alone Jin Qi's anger. He straightened his face and shouted to the auctioneer, "Hao family, half a million gold coins!"
"Hao Wan, you..." Hao Wan not only ignored his anger, but also made the first bid, which made Jin Qi feel embarrassed and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"You want to get the divine elixir for half a million gold coins, Haowan, you are too naive! Qing family, one million gold coins!" Before Jin Qi could curse, Qingzhuo shouted and made an offer on the spot.
"You guys..." Jin Qi glanced at Haowan and then at Qingzhuo, not to mention how ugly his expression was.
Hao Wan sneered and said, "Master Jin, treasures like the Spiritual Pill are always owned by those who are capable! If you want it, you'd better bid honestly. Rich family, two million gold coins!"
Hao Wan raised the price by one million gold coins in one breath, which was indeed worthy of his word "ho".
After just one round of bidding, the price of the Spiritual Pill has skyrocketed to two million gold coins. This greatly exceeded Jin Qi's expectations, but it also made him understand that both the rich and the Qing families were determined. I want to get the magic elixir.
Even though her lungs were about to explode, Jin Qi had to force herself to calm down and said in a deep voice, "Okay! I want to see which of you can beat the National Teacher Association! Two and a half million gold coins!"
"Jin Qi, don't think that anyone is afraid of your National Preceptor's Association. In my opinion, the National Preceptor's Association has no ability other than bullying others. Qing family, three million gold coins!"
"Dad, it seems that the Qing family is fully prepared." Seeing the Qing family's face change color as the price of three million was revealed, Hao Shi frowned and whispered to Hao Wan.
Hao Wan was already muttering in his heart, but when he heard what Hao Shi said again, he became even more angry. He glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "This is not all your fault! If not, You gave him one million gold coins for free, how dare he be so arrogant?"
"I..." Hao Shi was scolded by Hao Wan, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
