Chapter 140: Third-Rank Alchemist
However, everyone was more curious about Su Chen. Wubaotang could actually offer a quota of 100,000 for Su Chen, and even expel Cheng Wei for Su Chen. This face can really be said to be the best.
However, they really couldn't see what kind of ability Su Chen had that was worthy of Wubaotang to do this for him.
"Now I declare that because Cheng Wei raised the price just now when he didn't have enough silver, it involved malicious bidding, so the previous bidding of Fire Spirit Stone is invalid. The bidding of Fire Spirit Stone will start again, and the starting price is still 5,000 taels." The old man announced.
This time, there were very few people competing with Su Chen.
Because everyone already knew Su Chen's financial resources, he could spend 50,000 taels without blinking an eye, and he also had a terrifying quota of 100,000 taels. No one wanted to provoke such a person. What if competing with him angered him, and he came to participate when he had his own items to bid later, who could bear it?
In this way, Su Chen easily bought the Fire Spirit Stone at a price of 15,000 taels.
Next, the auction continued.
After several other items were sold, the third Purple Flame Pill was put on the auction table.
This time, Wang Lie was determined to compete for it. Unfortunately, there were many people who shared the same idea as him, and soon the price of the third Purple Flame Pill reached 35,000 taels, which was higher than the transaction price of the second Purple Flame Pill.
At this time, Wang Lie began to regret that he should have listened to Jiang Shan earlier. Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in the world, and Wang Lie could only bite the bullet and compete with the other people.
Soon, the price of the third Purple Flame Pill broke through the 40,000 mark, and was finally bought by Wang Lie at a price of 48,000 taels.
Wang Lie's heart was bleeding. 48,000 taels was twice as expensive as he expected. If he had known this, he should have bought the first one, but now he had to pay twice the price.
Moreover, he only bought one, and Wang Lie planned to buy two today. When Wang Lie thought about the next pill, which might be priced even higher than this one, he felt bitter. This was going to bankrupt the Wang family.
"Brother Wang, if the money is not enough, I still have some silver notes. We must bid for the last Purple Flame Pill, so that we can completely dominate Qinghe City."
Jiang Shan took out his last stack of silver notes from his body. When he saw Wang Lie's expression, he knew that he had to say something, otherwise Wang Lie might give up the bid for the last Purple Flame Pill, and his Purple Flame Pill would be in jeopardy.
Wang Lie took the silver note from Jiang Shan's hand, gritted his teeth and nodded, saying: "Don't worry, brother Jiang Shan, the last Purple Flame Pill will also be ours."
On the other side.
Su Chen watched Wang Lie bid for the Purple Flame Pill at a high price, but a barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes.
This Purple Flame Pill might not achieve the effect Wang Lie wanted.
Soon.
The auction of the last Purple Flame Pill began.
Everyone knows that the price of this Purple Flame Pill will definitely exceed 50,000 taels, and there is almost no suspense about this.
Because there is only this last one left, if you miss it, you don’t know when this kind of pill will be available next time, so those who didn’t bid just now will definitely bid with all their strength this time.
"40,000 taels!"
Sure enough, as soon as the starting price of 5,000 taels was announced, someone immediately called out a high price of 40,000 taels.
Anyway, it is 100% certain to bid for 40,000 taels, so just start bidding from 40,000 taels directly, and save everyone's time.
Clap, clap, clap!
Su Chen applauded and said with a smile: "Good, very good, I like such straightforward people."
Gu Qianyin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile under her veil. Someone gave you money, how could you not like it?
But many people who didn't know the truth cast unhappy eyes on Su Chen, thinking that the Purple Flame Pill was not yours, so why are you so proud? Is it great to have a quota of 100,000? Tsk, you still have to pay it back later, let's see what you can use to pay it back.
"Forty-two thousand taels."
"Forty-three thousand taels."
"Forty-four thousand taels."
...
"Forty-eight thousand taels."
When it came to forty-eight thousand taels, everyone stopped at the same time.
Because forty-eight thousand taels is a threshold, the last Purple Flame Pill was sold for forty-eight thousand taels. After this threshold, even those strong men from Anyang City will be very tight on financial resources.
What's more, except for the alchemists, who can casually take out tens of thousands of huge sums from their personal pockets? That is the money of their respective families. If they want to use it, they have to consider the amount.
"Fifty thousand taels."
Finally someone broke the silence, it was Wang Lie.
"Fifty-one thousand taels!"
Another voice sounded immediately afterwards.
When Wang Lie heard this voice, he immediately turned his head to look.
As a result, he discovered that the person who bid 51,000 taels was actually Ye Wenlong, the head of the Ye family!
"Brother Ye, you didn't bid hard for the three Purple Flame Pills just now. Now there is only the last one left. Are you sure you want to compete with me at this time?"
Wang Lie's face looked a little ugly. Although the relationship between the Wang family and the Ye family was not close, they had never torn their faces. I didn't expect Ye Wenlong to intervene at this time and trip him up.
"Brother Wang, I really want this Purple Flame Pill. Besides, you have already bid for one. Why bother to compete with me for this one? Your Wang family doesn't need so many Purple Flame Pills?"
Ye Wenlong retorted. His situation was similar to Wang Lie's. He didn't bid hard at the beginning. When he realized that things are rare, there was only one left. He could only bite the bullet and fight with all his strength.
"Humph!" Wang Lie's face was completely gloomy. "In this case, let's fight!"
"Fight." Ye Wenlong also gritted his teeth. He must get this Purple Flame Pill. The Ye family has lost the genius Ye Xuan. If a powerful man of the eighth level of Condensation Realm cannot be born immediately, the gap between them and the Wang family will become wider and wider.
In this way, the competition for the last Purple Flame Pill became a stage for the two major families in Qinghe City to compete.
"Fifty-two thousand taels!"
"Fifty-three thousand taels!"
"Fifty-four thousand taels!"
...
Wang Lie and Ye Wenlong went back and forth, neither of them gave in, and the scene was full of gunpowder.
"Fifty-nine thousand taels!"
"Sixty thousand!"
When Ye Wenlong shouted out the number of sixty thousand, his eyes were red. Today he was also fighting hard, and he had to take the Purple Flame Pill at all costs.
The other people at the scene were silent. Sixty thousand, it was too exciting. That was a full sixty thousand taels of silver. Everyone was shocked by this incredible sky-high price.
Now the two of them are already in a state of fighting for red eyes, and no one will give in to the other. I just don't know which of them will end up with the Purple Flame Pill.
"Sixty-five thousand taels."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, the whole scene became even quieter, and you could hear a pin drop.
Wang Lie and Ye Wenlong were both stunned.
Because they didn't bid, who was the one bidding?
They turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice, and then found that the person bidding was an old man in hemp clothes.
What was striking was that the old man was wearing a shining third-grade alchemist badge on his chest.
When everyone noticed this, the whole audience went wild.
