"Great Elder, what should we do now? Are we still bidding?"
"The Gu Clan directly added ten eighth-grade high-tier medicinal pills. It may not be much, but it shows their stance!"
Upon hearing the Gu Clan's bid, the expressions of Pill Tower's many elders immediately became somewhat complicated.
They could still hold on against bids like these, but Soul Wind's earlier remarks had indeed threatened them. They hesitated as well—although they might win Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath in the end, they might not be able to keep it, and could instead bring disaster upon the Pill Tower.
"Keep bidding for now. We'll think about those matters afterward!" After hesitating for a moment, the Great Elder ultimately made his decision.
The reason he made this decision was that the Pill Tower had some history with the Heaven and Earth Alliance. Pill Tower's Three Giants had some friendship with Flowing Cloud, and when the Heaven and Earth Alliance had suffered Gu You's large-scale attack in its early days, the Pill Tower had helped them. Later, when the Heaven and Earth Alliance invited Pill Tower alchemists to help those from Jia Nan Academy who had lost their bodies refine new ones, the Pill Tower had accepted a favor from them.
Therefore, the Pill Tower considered the Heaven and Earth Alliance an ally.
"The Pill Tower adds another ten eighth-grade high-tier medicinal pills!"
Having made their decision, the Pill Tower did not delay and immediately stood up to bid again.
"Huh, the Pill Tower actually didn't back down. From the looks of it, they're going head-to-head with the Gu Clan!"
"Bids like these are clearly just an appetizer. If they truly want to take Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, these things are far from enough!"
"That's right. Some things can't be measured by sheer quantity.
