As the auction progressed, staggering treasures appeared one after another, and the atmosphere in the entire auction house gradually became fanatical.

Bai Yan Great Elder stood on the high platform, and every time he lifted the red silk, there would be a burst of exclamations from the audience.

"This next lot will surely make the alchemists present here excited."

Bai Yan's old voice was somewhat bewitching, and he slowly uncovered the brocade on the tray.

"Ice Lingzhi Mushroom from 100 years old!"

"Wow--"

A commotion suddenly broke out in the audience. On the tray lay a crystal-clear Ganoderma lucidum, covered with fine frost, which reflected a dreamy blue light under the light.

Several people wearing alchemist robes suddenly stood up, their eyes flashing with greed.

"The starting price is 1.5 million gold coins!"

"Two million!"

A wrinkled old man shouted impatiently.

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

Another middle-aged female alchemist immediately increased the price.

"Two and a half million!"

Bidding sounds came and went, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Bai Yan watched this scene with satisfaction. When the price climbed to three million, he gently knocked the auction gavel.

"The next one is even more special."

Following his instructions, four strong men laboriously lifted up a half-human-high dome.

"Sixth-order Demonic Beast Thunderwing Griffin's egg!"

Bai Yan's voice suddenly increased.

"If it can be successfully hatched and domesticated, it will be a mount comparable to Dou Huang expert in the future!"

"Oh my God!"

"It's actually Thunderwing Griffin!"

A deafening exclamation erupted from the audience.

Many people dressed as businessmen stood up in excitement, and some even jumped on their seats to get a better view.

The silver-white giant egg with purple thunder patterns on its surface shone with a strange light under the light.

"The starting price is five million gold coins!"

This sky-high price made most people take a breath, but there were still a dozen or so well-dressed buyers who started bidding frantically.

The price soon exceeded 8 million, and representatives of several major powers were furious with each other. The situation was once out of control.

Just when everyone thought this was the climax of the auction, Bai Yan suddenly clapped his hands and signaled the guards to bring in several strong men bound by iron chains.

These people were all naked from the waist up, their muscular bodies covered with ferocious scars, but their eyes were as fierce as wild beasts.

"Everyone, next is today's special auction."

Bai Yan's voice suddenly dropped, with a hint of danger.

"The berserkers from the Barbarian Tribe! After special training, each one has strength comparable to Da Dou Shi, and they don't know pain at all."

He paused meaningfully.

The businessmen in the audience immediately became excited.

The women let out exaggerated screams, while the men talked excitedly.

A fat businessman excitedly waved the bidding sign in his hand.

"I want the highest one! Pay double the price!"

"The starting price is one hundred thousand gold coins each!"

Bidding sounds came one after another, and the entire auction house fell into madness.

But the good things in this auction simply appeared one after another.

Bai Yan The great elder gently touched the jade box in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his face. He slowly opened the lid of the box, and a hot breath suddenly swept through the entire auction house, making everyone present feel hot.

"Everyone, I believe this next auction will make many powerful people excited."

The voice is unhurried and unhurried, but it carries an allure that cannot be ignored.

"Fourth-grade Pill--Fire Spirit Pill!"

The audience was quiet for a moment, and then there was a burst of gasps.

"This elixir has two effects."

Bai Yan stretched out two skinny fingers.

"First, it allows Dou Ling strong people to unconditionally improve their cultivation level by one star; secondly, it can temper Dou Qi in the body, making it more pure."

These words were like a bomb that exploded in the auction room.

The eyes of the strong Dou Lings in the hall were red, and even some Dou Wangs showed longing looks.

What's even more shocking is that in the second-floor private room, several powerful auras belonging to Dou Emperor leaked out involuntarily.

"The starting price is three hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Half a million!"

A big man with a beard shouted impatiently.

"Six hundred thousand!"

Another Dou Ling strong man shouted directly.

"Eight hundred thousand!"

A hoarse voice came from the second floor box.

Bidding sounds came one after another, and the price climbed at an alarming rate.

The ordinary bidders in the hall were quickly eliminated, leaving only a few big forces competing fiercely.

"One million and two hundred thousand!"

A middle-aged man in fine clothes shouted through gritted teeth, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.

"One million and three hundred thousand!"

There was a cold snort from the opposite compartment.

"One and a half million!"

An old but majestic voice came from the most luxurious box.

This price made the whole audience fall into silence.

After a few seconds, no one spoke.

Bai Yan looked around with satisfaction and gently lowered the auction hammer in his hand.

"One and a half million gold coins, deal!"

There was a sigh of regret from the audience.

Those Dou Ling strong men looked unwilling, but they could only watch helplessly as this precious elixir was sent into the mysterious box.

Many people have already begun to think about whether to wait for the auction to end.

Jiang Donghua took in all this, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He noticed that even Yin Jiuxiao next to Bai Xiaofeng kept staring at the elixir with his falcon-like eyes until it disappeared from sight.

"It seems that the attraction of Fire Spirit Pill is greater than imagined."

Jiang Donghua whispered to himself, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Donghua squinted his eyes, tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers, thinking in his mind.

"This Black Corner Region is indeed a place that eats people without spitting out their bones!"

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"If Fire Spirit Pill is placed outside, it will only cost one million gold coins to survive, but here, it can actually be sold for one million and a half million!"

He quickly calculated the cost in his mind.

"The total price of ten pairs of Fire Spirit Pill medicinal materials is only 1.8 million gold coins. If you can refine two of them, it will be an income of 3 million gold coins, a net profit of 1.2 million!"

Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, the success rate of refining Fire Spirit Pill from ordinary Fourth-grade Alchemist is less than 20%. Even if it is Fifth-grade Alchemist, you have to be careful, as the furnace will explode if you are not careful."

"But I'm different!"

He gently touched his fingers, feeling the strange power within his body.

"AFK System is instilling the experience of medicinal materials into my mind every moment. For me, making alchemy is as simple as drinking water."

"Other people may fail seven times out of ten times, but I will succeed at least seven times out of ten times!"

He glanced across the auction house, looking at those who were still bidding frantically for Fire Spirit Pill, and sneered in his heart.

"These people are desperately trying to grab one, but they don't know that as long as I want, I can make ten more at any time!"

"But things are more expensive when they are scarce. If Fire Spirit Pill becomes widespread, the price will plummet."

"So, we have to control the quantity and release one or two occasionally to maintain a high price."

He looked back, already having a plan in mind.

"When the auction is over, go to Black Corner Region's medicinal materials market and stock up on all Fire Spirit Pill's medicinal materials!"

"Then slowly harvest these gold coins that have been taken advantage of!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.

"Black Corner Region, it is indeed a good place to make money!"
