Chapter 135: Bidding for the Purple Flame Pill
Su Chen shook his head and said, "Aunt, I think you don't need to bid for the pill."
"Really?" Xu Yin was a little confused, and didn't know why Su Chen said that before he saw the pill.
Gu Qianxue, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but look at Su Chen a few more times after hearing the conversation between the two. She could feel that everyone present today was crazy about the top-grade elixir. If nothing unexpected happened, Su Chen should be able to make a lot of money today.
However, she still didn't agree with Su Chen pretending to be Master Chen. This kind of thing was too risky. If he was found to be an imposter, he would definitely be charged with deceiving Wubaotang.
Gu Qianxue blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Can Xue'er eat the top-grade elixir? Sister, can you buy one for Xue'er later?"
Gu Qianyin was about to answer when Su Chen took over and said, "Qianxue, if you want to eat the elixir, I will refine it for you in the future, so you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy it."
"So Brother Chen can also refine it? Then Xue'er will eat a lot, like candy beans." Gu Qianxue smiled. She didn't have too many concepts about the value of money in her mind, and she was more joking.
Xu Yin also smiled. In her opinion, Su Chen's words were just to make the child happy. She didn't think that Su Chen could really refine the top-grade elixir that Wubaotang vigorously promoted.
"Okay, everyone, next, let's start the auction of the top-grade elixir! Now it's the first one!"
With the announcement of the old auctioneer, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became heated.
It must be said that Wubaotang was very smart. They did not choose to auction all the pills at once, but took out four pills in four batches, interspersed throughout the auction.
This is because if the four pills were taken out and sold in a package at once, there would be very few people who could afford it. If they were auctioned separately, there would be more people who could compete.
Cheng Wei's face suddenly darkened after hearing the old man's announcement. If they were sold in a package, the most advantageous one would be their Cheng family, because their Cheng family had the strongest financial resources. But if they were sold separately, it would undoubtedly give him many more competitors.
And more people at the scene stretched their necks to look at the brocade box in the old man's hand expectantly, guessing what kind of magical pill would be inside.
"It seems that everyone is already impatient for this elixir."
The old man smiled and said, "I am here to announce that this top-grade elixir is called Purple Flame Pill!"
As soon as the three words "Purple Flame Pill" came out, a few people present suddenly let out a low exclamation, while more people looked confused, obviously not knowing what this Purple Flame Pill was.
"Purple Flame Pill is a second-grade breakthrough elixir." The old man introduced slowly, "Its function is to increase the success rate of a seventh-level warrior in the Condensation Realm by at least 90% when he is trying to break through the eighth level of the Condensation Realm!"
"The Purple Flame Pills we are auctioning today are all of twelve-star quality, which means that the success rate will definitely exceed 90%!"
Breakthrough elixir!
Increase the success rate by 90%!
The breathing of everyone present became rapid. There is such a magical elixir. Did they really hear it right?
Doesn't this mean that as long as a seventh-level warrior in the Condensation Realm is preparing to break through the eighth level of the Condensation Realm, once he takes this elixir, it is almost equivalent to being sent to the eighth level of the Condensation Realm?
"This is impossible. This kind of elixir has never appeared in the elixir market of Anyang County!"
A man wearing a first-class alchemist badge on his chest couldn't help but said, "I haven't even heard of this elixir. Are you sure it really has such a magical effect?"
"Even the alchemist hasn't heard of it. Is this elixir really real? Isn't Wubaotang deliberately making fun of us?"
The people at the scene questioned it. It's not that they don't trust Wubaotang, but the effect of this elixir is really shocking. It can increase the success rate of impacting the eighth level of Condensation Realm by 90%, which means that one elixir can create an eighth-level Condensation Realm expert.
The old man smiled and said, "Please don't doubt it, this pill has been identified by Master Tao Jin of our Wubao Hall, and it is indeed a genuine purple flame pill. I can guarantee here with the reputation of Wubao Hall that the effect of the pill is genuine."
Guaranteeing with the reputation of Wubao Hall is the most powerful guarantee. Wubao Hall has branches in every city of Yunyuan Empire. It is a big family and a big business. Naturally, it is impossible to smash its own signboard for these pills.
Suddenly, the eyes of the seventh-level strong men in the Condensation Realm present changed completely. Especially Ye Wenlong and Jiang Shan, their eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, and their lips couldn't help licking, revealing an uncontrollable desire.
They are all veteran strong men who have been stuck in the seventh level of the Condensation Realm for many years. There is only one hurdle to the eighth level of the Condensation Realm, but they have been unable to cross it. If they can get a purple flame pill, wouldn't it be possible to directly cross this hurdle and advance to the eighth level of the Condensation Realm?
Being promoted to the eighth level of Condensation Realm not only means a great improvement in strength, but also means that one can leave competitors behind in an instant.
Not only Ye Wenlong and Jiang Shan, but also the VIPs from Anyang City in the golden VIP seats are also rubbing their hands in anticipation.
For a moment, the entire auction hall was filled with gunpowder. Many people stared at the brocade box containing the Purple Flame Pill in the old man's hand, with a strong competitive intent in their eyes.
"It turned out to be the breakthrough pill for promotion to the eighth level of Condensation Realm!" Xu Yin was also surprised. Then she thought about it and said, "Xiao Chen, this time, don't persuade your aunt. I want to bid for this pill."
Su Chen smiled and touched a pill bottle in his sleeve. It was the highest quality pill that he had specially kept after refining the Purple Flame Pill. Its quality reached the fifteen-star level.
However, Su Chen did not say anything, because he knew that with so many competitors here today, it would be difficult for Xu Yin to bid for the Purple Flame Pill.
"Today there are four Purple Flame Pills. Next we will auction the first one. The starting price is 5,000 taels of silver. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 taels."
The starting price alone shows how precious the Purple Flame Pill is. The general second-grade pills start at 1,000 taels, but the Purple Flame Pill starts at 5,000 taels.
"6,000 taels."
"7,000 taels."
The bidding sounds continued, because everyone had a psychological expectation that the final price of the Purple Flame Pill would definitely exceed 10,000 taels, and it might even be more than 20,000 taels. So now everyone's bidding was very enthusiastic, because the price was far from touching their psychological bottom line.
Xu Yin also joined the bidding.
In just a few dozen breaths, the price of the Purple Flame Pill was called up to 20,000 taels.
