Sword Intent Pill
Seeing that Lu Feng was no longer raising the price, the Barrier-Breaking Pill was finally sold to Lu Xinghan for a sky-high price of 300,000, and Lu Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness you didn't follow me the whole way... it scared me to death."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"I didn't take a picture, but look what this is?"
With a flick of his wrist, Lu Feng took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and casually tossed it to Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang instinctively caught it, uncorked it, and glanced at it!
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
"This... this is Fifth-Tier Barrier-Breaking Pill?! And... a whole ten of them?!"
She looked up abruptly, her voice trembling, "Where did you get this?!"
She was stunned for a while before she suddenly realized what was happening!
During that earth-shattering bidding war just now, Lu Feng was only... venting his anger for her?
"This is too valuable! Besides, you are now Great Grandmaster, and this pill is perfect for you. You should keep it!"
As she spoke, she reached out to hand the jade bottle back to Lu Feng.
"Do you think I need this kind of pill?" Lu Feng looked at her with a half-smile.
One sentence made Lu Shuang's outstretched hand stop in mid-air.
Yes! He doesn't even know the value of the Sword Intent Pill, so he probably doesn't care about this Fifth-Tier Barrier-Breaking Pill at all.
With his unfathomable rate of improvement...
For him, this kind of pill, which required a 30% chance of success, was indeed like a chicken bone—useless and useless.
"Please accept it. This pill is really of no use to me."
"Thanks!"
Lu Shuang thanked her sincerely.
At that very moment, on the auction stage, Feng Sanniang had already lifted the red silk covering the next item for auction.
"Next, the fifth item..."
"The sixth item..."
The dozens of items that followed were not what the two needed, so Lu Feng didn't ask for anything more.
Half an hour later.
Feng Sanniang's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, carrying a rare hint of solemnity:
"Next up, the seventy-eighth item: a fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill!"
Room number 12 on the second floor.
Upon hearing the words "Sword Intent Pill," Lu Shuang's back straightened instantly.
"A fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill, once consumed, can greatly increase the success rate of comprehending Sword Intent!"
"The Ten Thousand Swords Tomb Secret Realm is about to open. I'm sure you all know the value of this pill without me having to elaborate!"
"Five fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill, each to be auctioned individually!"
"The first one, starting bid is 50,000 Low-Grade Origin Crystal, each bid must increase by at least 1,000. Let's begin!"
As soon as Feng Sanniang finished speaking, the voices of people offering prices rose and fell from the second and third floors.
"Fifty thousand!"
"Fifty-one thousand!"
"Fifty-two thousand!"
In just a short while, the price exceeded 100,000.
During this time, Lu Shuang couldn't resist and raised the price twice more.
Seeing that there were still more than a dozen people bidding in turn, and knowing that this would drag on for who knows how long, Lu Feng turned his head and simply told the maid a number:
Two hundred thousand.
The maid was taken aback, then raised her voice and sang:
"The esteemed guest number twelve on the second floor has offered 200,000 Low-Grade Origin Crystal! Is there anyone offering a higher bid?!"
On stage, Feng Sanniang Niang's smile was almost overflowing.
A fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill, at most worth around 100,000 in the market.
Even if the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb opens and the market price rises, it is absolutely impossible for it to be worth 200,000.
"Who exactly is sitting in room number twelve on the second floor? Do they have so much money they don't know what to do with it? Asking for two hundred thousand right off the bat?"
"Who knows! They really think we're all easy targets, just like the prince who hyped up that Barrier-Breaking Pill!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the man suddenly realized what he had said, quickly covered his mouth, and looked around in alarm.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a great deal of discussion in the lobby on the first floor.
On the third floor, in the No. 1 private room of the "Heaven" class.
"Your Highness, two hundred thousand... Shall we continue?"
The girl to Lu Xinghan's left asked softly.
After bidding on that priceless Barrier-Breaking Pill, Lu Xinghan casually bought a few other trinkets, one of which he gifted to the girl beside him.
Having received a favor, the two girls became even more attentive to the young master and started talking more.
"Follow what?" Lu Xinghan didn't even lift his eyelids.
"There are five Sword Intent Pill in total, and the price of one is only 150,000. Raising the price any further would be a losing proposition—I need to save my Origin Crystal to buy Spirit Artifact."
On the stage, seeing that no one had made a bid, Feng Sanniang raised her gavel to seal the deal:
"Two hundred thousand Low-Grade Origin Crystal for the first time!"
"The second time!"
"The third time!"
"Sold! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in room number twelve on the second floor for winning the first fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill!"
"Next up, the second fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill, starting bid at 50,000, bidding begins!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the bidding resumed.
Inside room number 12 on the second floor.
Lu Shuang was still a little dazed, looking at Lu Feng with surprise in her eyes.
"You're asking for 200,000 right off the bat? Isn't that a bit too much? The normal market price for Sword Intent Pill is around 100,000, and even if the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb opens, it'll be at most 150,000!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng shook his head, his smile enigmatic.
You don't understand.
"Wait a minute, you'll realize that 200,000 for this Sword Intent Pill is a bargain!"
"What do you mean?" Lu Shuang asked, looking completely bewildered.
Lu Feng merely smiled and did not reply.
At this moment, the bidding for the second Sword Intent Pill was nearing its end, and Lu Feng spoke again:
Two hundred thousand.
"Room number twelve on the second floor, bid 200,000 Low-Grade Origin Crystal, any higher bids?"
"Two hundred thousand! First time! Second time! Third time, sold!"
Feng Sanniang almost shouted this out in suppressed elation.
"The third fifth-tier Sword Intent Pill, begin now!"
Two hundred thousand Low-Grade Origin Crystal!
Congratulations to room number 12 on the second floor!
"The fourth one..."
Two hundred thousand!
Lu Feng snapped up all four Sword Intent Pill in a row, paying a flat price of 200,000 each, leaving none behind.
Finally, we reached the last one.
"Two hundred thousand," Lu Feng quoted as usual.
But this time, the situation is different!
Two hundred thousand one thousand!
Two hundred thousand three thousand!
Although the calls for price increases weren't intense, the price steadily climbed, bit by bit, quickly approaching 300,000.
Inside the room, Lu Shuang frowned slightly and turned to look at Lu Feng.
"Strange... When it was 200,000, these people were all cowering and didn't move. Now that it's 300,000, they're suddenly fighting over it?"
"Because of human nature," Lu Feng said calmly.
"Human nature?"
"Previously, there were four more Sword Intent Pill left, and everyone was gambling—gambling that the later ones would be cheaper, and everyone was willing to wait a little longer."
"Now, all four hopes have been dashed, leaving only this last one. If we want it, we'll have to grit our teeth and carry it at breakneck speed."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shuang felt a sudden sense of relief.
Putting myself in their shoes, if I were the one who hadn't bought the Sword Intent Pill, I'd probably grit my teeth and fight my way into this bloody battle for this last one.
While the two were talking, the price of the last Sword Intent Pill had already been raised to 500,000.
"Sold for 500,000 Low-Grade Origin Crystal! Congratulations to room number one on the third floor!"
