"Twelve hundred taels, going three times! Congratulations to Xu Yang on winning this bottle of Tenfold Great Tonic Pills," Tao Huaijin announced helplessly.
After all that heckling, the Tenfold Great Tonic Pills, which should have fetched over thirteen hundred taels, had sold for only twelve hundred.
"Would anyone like to help Xu Yang pay?" Wu Nanshan asked with a laugh.
The entire auction hall fell silent. Shen Liang tried to stand, but An Ping held him back.
"Thank you all for letting me have it. I happen to have exactly twelve hundred taels on me," Xu Yang said with a smile, cupping his hands.
With that, he rose and went to the back hall to pay.
Wu Nanshan instantly looked as though he had swallowed shit. His laughter caught in his throat, and he could no longer force it out.
Lu Ren looked sheepish, his cheeks burning. Xu Yang really did have money.
He got off cheap, An Ping thought.
The Tenfold Great Tonic Pill was a little more effective than the Origin-Returning Pill. If the bidding had continued, it would have taken at least fourteen hundred taels to win it.
Shen Liang sighed. He knew he and Xu Yang were strangers now. The bond forged by facing life and death together in the valley had ended. There was no way Xu Yang had missed what he and An Ping had done.
Although he had wanted to help, he had hesitated the instant An Ping held him back. He had not wanted to offend An Ping for Xu Yang's sake.
"Congratulations, Master Xu."
In the back hall, Zhou Yong handed Xu Yang the Tenfold Great Tonic Pills with a broad grin. Twelve hundred taels for five Tenfold Great Tonic Pills was an incredible bargain. This auction had been arranged specifically
