Hearing someone offer a top-grade fourth-tier pill, Xue You smiled. "This friend has bid one Foundation-Stabilizing Pill. Does anyone have a higher bid?"
"..."
But all that answered Xue You was silence.
They were no fools. Although green wood immortal vine was considered a high-grade medicinal ingredient, it was still not worth a top-grade fourth-tier pill.
Unless these ingredients were needed to refine a pill they wanted, they were utterly useless to them. Only in an Alchemist's hands could their value be fully realized.
Alchemists were exceedingly rare, and those who could use green wood immortal vine were rarer still. There were scarcely any present.
Thus, no one was willing to spend money fighting over a medicinal ingredient they could not use.
Xue You had anticipated this situation. He had never expected the green wood immortal vine to fetch a top-grade fourth-tier pill in the first place. This was an unexpected windfall, and he knew to quit while he was ahead.
"Since there are no further bids, the green wood immortal vine belongs to this friend."
Xue You stroked his beard and smiled, then beckoned for a maid to carry the item away.
Immediately afterward, the next lot was brought onto the auction platform.
This time, the item up for auction was a Black-tier High-grade Dou Technique.
A Black-tier High-grade Dou Technique could enhance even a Dou Emperor's combat strength, making it highly sought after. The bids climbed in wave after wave.
The auction continued, growing increasingly heated. Each successive item was more precious than the last, and there was no shortage of people hoping to pocket them.
"That voice just now sounded like Xiao Yan's. Did that kid come here too?"
Xiao Yu carefully recalled the voice that had called out the bid, becoming increasingly convinced it belonged
