Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: A Bunch of Rich Guys (Part 1)
No doubt about it!
It’s the Small Returning Pill he made!
Because apart from him, no one else in the world can make this pill.
After all, he and the old man are the only ones with the recipe.
But thinking about the old man, looking shabby and broke, there’s no way he’d have those heavenly treasures.
That’s why he says he’s the only one in the world who can do it.
Moreover, just one look at the pill, and he knew it was made using his technique.
"How did he get his hands on it?" he wondered slightly.
When he gave it out, he clearly explained its effects.
Anyone with half a brain would know its astonishing value.
Especially during a critical moment, it could save someone’s life or raise the dead.
But a starting bid of one billion?
That still surprised him quite a bit.
After all, it’s just a pill, and it’s consumed once and gone.
"Surely no one would want to buy it!" he thought to himself.
Because among those present, how many would truly understand its effects?
Even the old man on stage might not fully understand.
Of course, if someone did understand and had money to burn, they might buy it.
Just as he was thinking this, someone made a bid, "One billion!"
Lin Xi, "...."
Are these people stupid or just rich?
Mind you, he’s made several hundred of these pills.
It’s not like a Qi Storage Pill, which gets consumed regularly.
Therefore, to this day, not many of the Small Returning Pills he has have been used up.
Even the ones he gave away probably haven’t been consumed much.
In this society, especially in Huaxia, there aren’t many people getting severely injured daily.
For minor injuries, there’s no need for something of the Small Returning Pill’s caliber.
Otherwise, it would be a sheer waste.
"Idiot!" Lin Xi heard Yang Feifei curse quietly from the corner, feeling a little amused.
After that person bid, the entire room seemed to halt briefly.
The old man on stage was visibly pleased.
To be honest, the initial suggestion from the organizers was ten million.
But due to his insistence, it was bumped up to one billion.
If no one really bids, he would have lowered the price.
Unexpectedly, someone actually made a bid.
There are plenty of surprises in this world.
If the starting bid was too low, probably no one would have valued it.
That’s another big reason he set it at one billion.
Of course, if someone bid competitively, he’d be even happier.
However, he glanced around and felt the chances were slim.
Even he found it hard to believe a pill would be worth one billion.
But just as he thought that, someone challenged him with, "One billion and ten million!"
Yet, he definitely preferred such challenges happening often.
He looked at the two people making bids from the audience.
Rich people indeed!
These two were from influential families.
Money doesn’t appear to be a problem for them.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be buying this.
As for the reason behind their purchase, he guessed it might be a gift for family elders.
The other attendees, he observed more closely this time.
Realizing, none appeared to have the desire to bid.
Although he had made it clear when presenting the pill initially, it’s definitely no ordinary item.
Yet, one billion had deterred ninety percent of the crowd.
These two descendants from big families kept adding just ten million each time.
The whole audience watched as the two went back and forth.
Seeming more like a personal grudge match.
These two also caught the attention of the four Peak Soldier Kings including the Dwarf Demon, their eyes showing a hint of malice.
However, upon noticing the two’s faces, they quickly dismissed the idea.
That family is not to be trifled with!
In the end, the one who first bid got it for one billion two hundred million.
Upon winning, he looked overjoyed and flaunted it to the other bidder.
But as soon as he did, the other side retorted with, "Idiot!"
"Did you think I actually wanted it? I was just raising the stakes!"
The man’s excitement instantly turned into anger, "You’re asking for it!"
Just as he was about to explode, the old man on stage coughed a few times and sternly said, "I don’t want to see quarrels next time!"
Suddenly, he felt a chill throughout, forcibly suppressing his anger.
"Alright, let’s proceed to the next item!" he said with satisfaction, signaling two young ladies beside him.
The two immediately turned and walked to the back.
In a few minutes, they returned holding trays, again covered with a red cloth.
This time, he didn’t let everyone guess what was inside.
Amid curious gazes, he unveiled the red cloth with absolute ease.
Inside, there was neither a wooden box nor anything else.
But in front of everyone was a jade tag.
"Jade tag?"
"What use is this?"
To be honest, Lin Xi saw a slight disappointment pass across the faces of those in the back row.
It seemed they were hoping for something more practical.
The old man on stage showed no change in expression.
He proceeded to give a brief introduction.
The people sitting below all became shocked.
Even Yang Feifei, who had been mostly disdainful of the auction, opened her mouth wide.
Only Lin Xi remained unmoved.
Why move?
Of course, he wouldn’t be moved.
Isn’t it just an ancient prince’s personal carry?
Not long ago, perhaps it has some unique features.
Previously, he had bought a jade pendant from Chuzhou City’s antique market that was worth countless times this.
Which is the one Bai Bing wears around her neck.
To be honest, to him these things aren’t very useful.
Especially those related to features or Spiritual Qi.
At most, it’s an antique with some collectible value.
But that’s if he genuinely likes it.
Below, the competition was fierce.
The two million starting bid was quickly raised to fifty million.
And judging by the trend, it was far from over.
Ultimately, a Peak Soldier King bought it for ninety million.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but shake his head.
The fact this item fetched such a price is really unbelievable.
After all, his Small Returning Pill only went for one billion two hundred million.
In terms of value, he thinks the Small Returning Pill is worth at least three to four times that of the jade pendant.
Moreover, at critical times, its value is even higher.
Truly, this is a group of people with more money than they know what to do with!
He sighed inwardly.
In the distant corner, Yang Feifei actually shared Lin Xi’s thoughts.
These people have too much money.
They are the parasites of society and should all be eradicated.
If possible, the forces hosting this should be eliminated too.
Especially since she thought about when her grandpa would only give her one thousand bucks for living expenses.
Honestly, seeing this scene makes her feel so impoverished.
Furthermore, the Yang family doesn’t really have much money.
Never mind Elder Yang being the top brass in the military district, even his two sons are leaders.
But their entire family has always been upright.
Except for their salaries, they have no other income and reject any other earnings.
"I really want to rob them!" Yang Feifei thought to herself, feeling an itch in her heart.
