Foundation-Building Liquid

Foundation-Building Liquid

"Next, I believe that anyone with children or younger descendants will certainly have use for this item. That's right, this item is Foundation-Building Liquid!"

As Mittel Tengshan's words fell, a sharp gleam flashed through Xiao Lin's eyes.

If the pills and medicinal herbs auctioned earlier had all been prepared by Xiao Lin for other members of the household, then this Foundation-Building Liquid was something he wanted for himself!

No, that was not quite right. It should be said that he was preparing it for his son, Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was still at the Dou Qi stage and had not even successfully condensed his Qi vortex. Naturally, he was in greatest need of something that could lay a solid foundation for him.

It could be said that Foundation-Building Liquid was the most suitable thing for Xiao Zhan right now!

To put it plainly, Xiao Lin was prepared to make a move for his precious son this time.

In order to obtain the Foundation-Building Liquid, he was even willing to pay a price he normally should not have paid!

"As for the effects of Foundation-Building Liquid, I assume I need not explain them in detail. Though it is merely a second-tier pill, it can be used by those at the Dou Qi stage, and it also requires several precious medicinal ingredients to refine.

Its value even far surpasses that of many ordinary fourth-tier pills!

So, for the sake of your younger descendants and children, what are you still waiting for?

This time, we have prepared three batches, with ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid in each batch. They will be auctioned separately.

First up is the first batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid. The starting bid is ten thousand gold coins, and each increase must be no less than one thousand gold coins!"

It had to be said that, as the future head of the Mite'er Family, Mittel Tengshan truly had a way with words. In just a few sentences, he had already stirred up the enthusiasm of the entire venue.

His sales-pitch-like auction speech had even moved Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Royal House and Yun Shan of the Misty Cloud Sect.

After all, both men commanded immense households and organizations. There would inevitably be younger descendants behind them who needed Foundation-Building Liquid, so they naturally wanted to purchase a batch.

Although both the Jia Ma Royal House and the Misty Cloud Sect had Alchemists, and their Alchemists were all above the second tier and could easily refine Foundation-Building Liquid,

the reason why second-tier Foundation-Building Liquid possessed value comparable to fourth-tier pills was not merely because it could establish the foundation of those at the Dou Qi stage. More importantly, its refining ingredients were extremely difficult to find.

This prevented even many higher-tier Alchemists from refining Foundation-Building Liquid.

No wonder Foundation-Building Liquid was worth so much.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!"

Before anyone else could begin bidding, someone had directly offered ten times the starting price!

In an instant, everyone else who had intended to bid was stunned into silence.

It was not as though they had never seen such high bids before, but the prices of other auction items had always climbed gradually. Who would open with ten times the starting price?

It was like a group of people playing a few coins' worth of pai gow, only for someone to suddenly go all in with several hundred thousand. Who would not be intimidated?

Thus, when someone directly bid ten times the starting price, not a single person chose to follow for a time.

At that moment, the entire auction hall seemed as if someone had pressed the mute button. Not a sound was made.

At this moment, perhaps only the auctioneer Mittel Tengshan, who had weathered countless storms, remained clear-headed.

"Does anyone have a higher bid? One hundred thousand gold coins, first call!"

"One hundred thousand gold coins, second call!"

Bang!

"One hundred thousand gold coins, third call! Sold! The first batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid goes to the honored guest in private room number six!"

Only when Mittel Tengshan brought down the hammer did the people present finally react.

But just as they wanted to bid, they discovered that the auction for this item had already ended!

It left them completely dumbfounded.

Could it be done like that?

At that moment, many people in the venue showed deep regret.

In truth, ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid were definitely a bargain at one hundred thousand gold coins.

If the bids had risen gradually, the price might even have reached two hundred thousand gold coins!

However, they had been intimidated just now and forgotten to bid. In the end, someone had taken it for one hundred thousand gold coins, and they were so envious their eyes turned red.

Unfortunately, the auction for that batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid had already ended, so they could only stare helplessly.

At the same time, everyone made up their minds that when the next batch of Foundation-Building Liquid came up, they would definitely seize the opportunity!

And the person who had won the first batch of Foundation-Building Liquid was none other than Xiao Lin.

Of course, even Xiao Lin had not expected to obtain the first batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid so easily.

He had originally thought he would need to raise the price further, but he had not expected everyone else to be bluffed by him. It was truly an unexpected delight!

"Th-this Foundation-Building Liquid was won by you, Young Patriarch?"

When the Mite'er Family attendant delivered the first batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid to their VIP room number six, the Xiao Household elder still looked somewhat incredulous.

"As expected of the Young Patriarch. That was amazing!"

Xiao Ze beside him immediately began praising him.

"Indeed. The Young Patriarch's move was truly wise."

Xiao Yi chimed in as well.

"Otherwise, why would he be our Young Patriarch?"

Xiao Zhen was also thoroughly convinced.

Being praised so much by his clansmen over such a small matter made Xiao Lin feel a little embarrassed.

"Just luck."

Xiao Lin modestly brushed it off.

Afterward, Xiao Lin placed the ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid into the Storage Ring on his hand.

This Storage Ring had been a congratulatory gift from the Mite'er Family when Xiao Lin became a Dou Wang.

An ordinary, low-quality Storage Ring cost roughly seventy to eighty thousand gold coins. Naturally, the Storage Ring given to Xiao Lin by the Mite'er Family as a gift was of far better quality.

Though it could not compare to those top-tier Storage Rings, it was at least upper-middle grade. A single ring cost more than several hundred thousand gold coins, and the space within was more than enough for Xiao Lin.

At this moment, aside from Xiao Lin's own belongings, the Storage Ring also contained the various pills and precious medicinal herbs obtained in this auction.

After putting away the Foundation-Building Liquid, Xiao Lin and the others continued watching the subsequent auctions.

Of course, if circumstances allowed, Xiao Lin also wanted to obtain the remaining two batches, a total of twenty bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid.

After all, as long as one was not entirely alone in the world, Foundation-Building Liquid would always be useful in the future.

At this moment, the auction for the second batch of ten bottles of Foundation-Building Liquid had already begun.

Likewise, Mittel Tengshan announced a starting price of ten thousand gold coins.

"I bid one hundred thousand gold coins!"

The instant Mittel Tengshan announced the start of bidding, someone clever tried to imitate Xiao Lin and use ten times the starting price to intimidate everyone else.

But after experiencing it once, how could the others possibly fall for the same trick a second time?

Wouldn't that make them real fools?
