He instinctively looked toward Nie Li and asked whether he had any money left.
He explained the situation to him again, leaving Nie Li puzzled. He had assumed that once the Alchemist Association produced the pills, it would allocate a share to the Heavenly Marks Family.
Meanwhile, bidding had already begun on the first batch of Soul-Nourishing Pills, with a starting price of one hundred thousand.
Even the lowest-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills were still in short supply, impossible to obtain even if one had the money. The price climbed rapidly, soon reaching three hundred thousand.
Nie Hai grew anxious. He came over to Nie Li and quietly asked whether he was still not going to bid.
Nie Li turned back and said he had already bought enough things. He had to leave something for everyone else.
Nie Hai: ...
What was he supposed to say to that?
While they were talking, Lei Zhuo had already bought the first batch of Soul-Nourishing Pills for three hundred and forty thousand Demon Spirit Coins.
Nie Hai wondered whether Nie Li showed so little interest in these pills because Yang Xin had actually given him some.
That thought greatly boosted his confidence, and he hurried to ask.
Nie Li answered yes, then asked whether the patriarch intended to confiscate them.
Those words made Nie Hai choke. Confiscate pills from a member of his own clan? Could he do something so rotten?
Whatever he had been about to say was blocked off completely by that one remark from Nie Li.
The Soul-Nourishing Pills soon sold out. Next came the Soul-Congealing Pills, with a starting price of three hundred and fifty thousand.
Nie Hai had brought a total of six hundred thousand this time, intending to buy one batch of Soul-Congealing Pills.
So he raised the bid.
