The tenth mysterious auction item (part one)

"Finally here?" Upon hearing Lu Yuling's words, the words "Shennong Drink" made Pei Yingxiao sit up straight. As he had said, Pei Yingxiao had shown little interest in any of the Treasure Artifact, medicinal herbs, or even the Peacock Plume and Stormy Pear Blossom Needles, but the Shennong Drink made his eyes light up.

A female disciple came up carrying a tray with a small jade bottle on it. The pale red jade bottle naturally exuded a warm aura. This jade bottle containing the wine was actually made of Innate Warm Jade worth a thousand gold pieces. This bottle of Shennong Drink probably contained more than half a bowl of it.

A single drop can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, so what about this small bottle? Staring intently at the pale red jade wine bottle, everyone present widened their eyes and their breathing became much more rapid.

If Lu Yuling hadn't displayed her cultivation level earlier, and if this Auction n't been organized by the Asura Sect, these people probably would have already started to snatch the loot.

"Shennong Drink is renowned far and wide. Not only in the Great Qin Empire, but also throughout the entire Cultivation World, it is a famous Immortal-grade Item. I won't say more. The starting price for the auction is four hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone..." As Shennong Drink was served, Lu Yuling's clear and cold voice rang in everyone's ears.

Just now, the starting price for the three buckets of Stormy Pear Blossom Needles and the three Peacock Plume was only eighty Spirit Stone. However, the starting price for this small bottle of Shennong Drink was a full four hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone. Such a price caused many people present to change their expressions drastically. Obviously, the price of Shennong Drink far exceeded their expectations.

"Haha, such Immortal-grade Item, and you're all silent? Could it be that you can't afford it? Then I won't be polite. I, Pei Yingxiao, only have seven hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone on me, and I'll bet them all," Pei Yingxiao said with a chuckle, seeing that everyone present was stunned by the price.

This guy is insane, he really is insane...

Pei Yingxiao's words caused many in the audience to curse under their breath. The starting price of four hundred Spirit Stone was already shocking, but this guy directly raised the price to seven hundred, disqualifying many who had the potential to compete before they even had a chance to speak.

"Shennong Drink? The price is quite high, but it should be worth it. Seven hundred and fifty pills," someone spoke after a moment of silence, "Sarira Skeleton Yin Gu."

"Eight hundred," Tian Lingshan said without hesitation. With a father who Sect Master of a Medium Sect, she was naturally very wealthy.

"I'll join in the fun too, a thousand pieces..." Blood Rakshasa Lin Haiyan, who hadn't spoken until now, also started bidding, directly offering the astronomical price of a thousand pieces.

A thousand! A thousand mid-grade Spirit Stone! Such an astronomical price left many people present feeling dizzy. A thousand mid-grade Spirit Stone piled together would be enough to form a small mountain.

The price of one thousand pieces silenced the entire auction hall for a moment. Clearly, such a high price was beyond the reach of most Cultivator.

"...", Gu Siqi, who was also preparing to make a bid, sighed slightly and lowered his hand when he heard the price Ling Haiyan quoted.

Beside her Meteor Blade Huo Siling, gave Lin Haiyan a deep look, but also remained silent.

Even Yin Gu frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll give..."

"Twelve hundred!" Before Yin Gu could finish speaking, Tian Lingshan interrupted, speaking before Yin Gu could finish.

"One thousand two hundred and fifty," Lin Haiyan said, her brows slightly furrowed.

Following Lin Haiyan, Tian Lingshan quickly quoted a price of "1,300 pieces".

"Fourteen hundred," Lin Haiyan's beautiful eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

"Five hundred," Tian Lingshan, her expression remaining unchanged.

Hiss...

Inside the auction hall, as Lin Haiyan and Tian Lingshan locked in a fierce battle, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

The starting price of Shennong Drink at 400 had already shocked everyone. Unexpectedly, the bidding went up to a terrifying 1,500, more than 1,000 more.

Faced with the astronomical price of 1,500 mid-grade Spirit Stone, even Lin Haiyan had to shake her head helplessly and give up. Yin Gu and the others beside her also sighed inwardly. With a father who was the Sect Master of a Medium Sect, her wealth was indeed different. No wonder she could have reached the Divine Ability Stage Realm at such a young age.

Having silenced Lin Haiyan, Tian Lingshan smiled smugly, her eyes burning as she stared at the Shennong Drink. Although it cost 1,500 mid-grade Spirit Stone, she figured her father wouldn't say anything since she could buy a pot of Shennong Drink.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Lu Yuling, as the host, was about to announce that Shennong Drink would belong to Tian Lingshan, but at that moment, a male voice suddenly rang out.

"Two thousand!"

Two thousand!? The sound of this voice made everyone present widen their eyes, almost unable to believe their ears.

1,500 stones was already Human Heart, but someone actually raised the price to 2,000? Who is it? Who could possibly be so willing to pay such an exorbitant price as 2,000 mid-grade Spirit Stone?

Looking in the direction of the voice, who else could it be but Zhuge Xiang? When the Ginseng was two thousand years old, Zhuge Xiang spoke once and successfully obtained Ginseng. Now, with the Shennong Drink, he spoke again. Could he succeed?

Seeing that it was Zhuge Xiang who spoke, Tian Lingshan's face darkened. Just as she was about to bid, Zhuge Xiang continued to speak.

"Miss Tian, you should think twice. This Shennong Drink has extraordinary effects, but it doesn't mean that whoever wins the bid will own it. Although most of the people here wouldn't do anything to tarnish their reputation, there's no guarantee that some unscrupulous individuals won't covet it," Zhuge Xiang said, glancing around at everyone in the auction hall. Although his words were tactful, the threat in his tone was palpable.

"Hmph, are you threatening me?" Tian Lingshan's face was very ugly as she stared coldly at Zhuge Xiang and asked.

"You're wrong. I was just worried about you, Miss Tian. Besides, I'd love for you to offer an even higher price, since the higher the price, the higher the income for my Asura Sect..." Zhuge Xiang shook his head and smiled meaningfully.

"...".

Now, Tian Lingshan truly had a counter-argument. If it were just a simple threat, Tian Lingshan wouldn't be afraid of Zhuge Xiang at all. However, what Zhuge Xiang said next made a lot of sense. Although Shennong Drink was good, it wasn't worth spending more than two thousand pills. Something that could be bought for one thousand five hundred was being sold for more than two thousand. In the end, wouldn't it just benefit his Asura Sect?

"Alright, since Miss Tian is no longer bidding, then this Shennong Drink belongs to this gentleman..." With a decisive blow, Lu Yuling delivered the final verdict. (To be continued...)
