The reason the participants in the auction had the urge to send greetings to every female member of Pill King Shuilian's family was not actually because of Pill King Shuilian himself.
Pill King Shuilian was a man who loved pills. He felt that raising the price one Spirit Crystal at a time was a desecration of the Great Treasury Palace Opening Pill, which had already become an irreplaceable masterpiece.
That sincerity was genuine, and everyone believed it.
But the problem lay with this method of Blind Auction.

Moreover, there was no limit on the reserve bid for the Great Treasury Palace Opening Pill. So long as it had value, anything could be offered.
