Heavenly Price

After the incomplete map, everyone held their breath, staring straight at the center of the stage with intense anticipation.

This time, the woman in red did not have a maid carry the item; instead, she carefully held a delicate jade bottle herself as she walked to the center of the stage.

"Is this final item of yours going to be my Mirror-Breaking Pill?" Lin Ge watched the woman in red's movements, his brows slightly raised as he asked.

Li Quan nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "That's right, it is. No other auction item could be more heart-stirring or drive people more insane than your Mirror-Breaking Pill, don't you think?"

Lin Ge did not reply, but there was a hint of expectation in his gaze as he looked toward the woman in red.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final item of today's auction, and also the item with the highest value. The starting bid is one hundred thousand Pure Origin Stones, with each increment being no less than one hundred thousand!"

The woman in red did not announce what was inside the bottle or explain its function first; she chose to state the price immediately.

This price caused everyone to gasp; a starting bid of one hundred thousand Pure Origin Stones, with minimum increments of one hundred thousand, meant this was no longer an auction for the average person to participate in.

"Are they crazy? Who would pay that?"

"What on earth is this thing? Why is it so expensive?"

For a moment, there was a flurry of discussion, yet no one could guess what was inside the bottle.

"You set the price so high, who could possibly accept it?" Lin Ge was also somewhat surprised upon hearing the bid and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, someone will definitely want it. You must know that an Origin Pellet Realm expert is worth far more than a mere few hundred thousand Pure Origin Stones," Li Quan replied with a confident smile.

"Is that so?"

Lin Ge didn't understand auctions, so he curiously watched the woman in red, wanting to see just how high the bidding would go.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this bottle contains two Mirror-Breaking Pills. Their greatest function is to allow a Heaven Origin Realm peak expert to directly advance to the Origin Pellet Realm, though the quality of the Origin Pellet is not guaranteed."

The woman in red's words plunged the entire venue into a deathly silence, followed by sounds of disbelief and skepticism. Even the people from the Blood Wolf Gang and the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce could no longer sit still, their eyes fixed hungrily on the porcelain bottle in her hands.

"Quiet!"

The young man from the Blood Wolf Gang let out a roar, silencing everyone.

"Is this so-called Mirror-Breaking Pill really as miraculous as you say?"

The young man's face was dark as he stared coldly at the woman in red on the stage, asking in a frigid tone.

The young man's gaze made the woman in red feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she maintained her professional smile and promised earnestly, "The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion would not auction this today if we did not have absolute confidence, so please rest assured."

"Three hundred thousand!"

Hearing the woman in red's words, the young man did not hesitate, immediately shouting a price that most people in the auction house could only look up to.

"Wow..."

A gasp rippled through the auction house, and all eyes turned toward a private room on the fourth floor, where the voice had originated.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Another voice rang out, also from the fourth floor, but this time it was Mina from the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce.

The young man looked toward the opposite room, his expression turning slightly ugly, but he still said coldly, "Seven hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand."

Mina remained unmoved, her face still calm.

"One million!"

The young man said it through gritted teeth; after all, one million Pure Origin Stones was not a small sum, and even for the Blood Wolf Gang, it was a painful amount.

"One million one hundred thousand!"

Compared to the young man, Mina appeared very calm. After all, if the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce had nothing else, they certainly had money.

"A-Wei, stop bidding. When it comes to wealth, we cannot compete with the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce." The man beside him realized that the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce was determined to obtain these two pills, and no one could stop them.

The young man named A-Wei did not listen. He continued to grit his teeth and spat out, "One million three hundred thousand!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

Mina glanced at the opposite room, her brows slightly furrowed as she continued to raise the bid.

"Two million!"

A-Wei roared, his eyes turning bloodshot. Clearly, two million was his absolute limit.

Hearing the two million bid, a hint of hesitation appeared in Mina's eyes, but it was eventually replaced by determination as she continued to bid.

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

Upon hearing this, the young man's face turned completely black. Endless rage surged in his heart, but he was powerless to do anything.

The strength of the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce was only stronger than the Blood Wolf Gang, so what could he possibly do against them? He had no choice but to swallow his anger.

In the sixth-floor private room, Lin Ge was stunned by the price. He never imagined that two Mirror-Breaking Pills could be driven up to the sky-high price of over two million; these people truly possessed immense wealth.

"Two million three hundred thousand, going once!"

"Two million three hundred thousand, going twice!"

"Two million three hundred thousand, going three times!"

"Sold!"

The woman in red finally revealed a sincere smile, hurriedly handing the jade bottle in her hand to a maid at her side, instructing her to take it to the trading hall to prepare for the transaction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction has now come to an end. We thank you all for your patronage, and we look forward to seeing you next time!"

As her words fell, the woman in red retreated from the auction stage, and the crowd in the seating area gradually began to disperse.

"It's over."

Lin Ge stood up, preparing to leave, when he suddenly sensed a faint trace of killing intent. His gaze shifted toward the fourth floor, specifically the box belonging to the Blood Wolf Gang, his eyes flashing with a cold chill.

"A-Wei, what are you thinking of doing?"

Inside the box, the man looked at the murderous expression on A-Wei's face, his brows furrowed tightly as he asked in a low voice.

"What do you say if we wipe out this Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion?"

The man's words did nothing to diminish the killing intent on A-Wei's face; instead, it grew even more intense as he asked with a sinister sneer.

"The Gang Leader will never agree to it. After all, standing behind this Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion is an expert at the Grand Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm." The man shook his head decisively, without a moment's hesitation.

"Hmph, as long as we capture that Li Quan and force him to hand over the person who refines the Mirror-Breaking Pill or the method itself, will my Blood Wolf Gang have any trouble ruling Yan City in the future?" A-Wei, however, remained dismissive, the malice in his heart already beyond restraint.

The man watched the increasingly frantic A-Wei, his brows furrowed as he was just about to urge him to abandon this ridiculous idea, when a voice broke through, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Tsk tsk, that is truly a wonderful idea."

A mocking voice drifted into the box, and in an instant, the killing intent on A-Wei's face vanished without a trace, replaced by a cold sweat pouring down his back.
