Chapter 311 Monster
Chapter 311 Monster
The bidding in the "Six Million" Hall was fierce, and the price was soaring rapidly. After a few rounds, some bidders quietly gave up. They all knew their own limitations and simply didn't have the strength to continue competing. Under the sky-high price of the elixir, one by one they were defeated and lost the chance to compete for the elixir.
The final battle was the real battle, a test of strength. Many people waited excitedly to see who would win.
"Seven million."
Qiqi heard someone whisper in the hall. "We can't raise the price anymore. Any more will bankrupt our family. Even if we win, we don't know if we can take it home. And if we can take it home, can we save our entire family? Whether or not taking the Fortune Pill can elevate us to a higher realm depends on our strength and luck. Is it worth risking our entire family's fate for a single pill? We can't gamble. Once we lose, it'll be too late to regret."
Qiqi laughed when she heard that.
The price of the "Eight Million" Fortune Pill kept rising. It was almost auctioned off to ten million. There were still people bidding higher.
"Nine million."
Then someone shouted "9.5 million"
"I'm offering 10 million. Is there anyone bidding higher? No, the pill is mine."
The elder looked at the silent crowd without asking any questions. His eyes went straight to the private room and the several important figures.
"Twelve million." A private room shouted out a sky-high price. Everyone looked up.
Apart from the Zhao family and a few major clans and families, no one else dared to bid at this price.
"Fifteen million." A man in a black cloak stood in the corner of the hall and shouted out the exorbitant price with great confidence. In an instant, the hall fell silent.
In the private room upstairs, a figure flashed, as if glancing at the bidder downstairs.
"Fifteen million spirit stones. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" He asked three times in a row.
The elder made the final decision. The Fortune Pill, worth 15 million spirit stones, went to the man in black. The auction was over.
The door to the Spiritual Pill Pavilion opened, and the people in the hall began to leave. The man in black in the corner stood up and used the spirit stones to exchange for the Good Fortune Pill.
Soon, most of the people who had come to the Spiritual Pill Pavilion to auction their items followed the crowd out. Many people, realizing someone was trying to snatch the Good Fortune Pill, ran as fast as they could, fearing they would be implicated if they ran too slow and a fight broke out.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze stood at the top of the Spiritual Pill Pavilion, watching the people leaving the auction house. Some hid. Some ran faster than rabbits. Someone else started fighting far away. They guessed that someone who had won a sixth-grade pill had been intercepted and a fight had broken out.
"I see that as soon as the seventh-grade elixir leaves the Lingdan Pavilion, it is snatched away by others. The more chaos the better. I hope these greedy people will fight each other." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, I have investigated the people who came to the Dan Pavilion today. Most of them are not decent people. Let them snatch the elixirs and make enemies to retaliate against each other!" The Pavilion Master also came to them and said.
They saw the man in black leave the Dan Pavilion, and instantly he was surrounded by more than a dozen people to protect him. They took off into the air, and as soon as they left the city, a large number of people intercepted them, and more than a dozen people headed in several directions.
The most people were chasing the men in black, and they soon engaged in a fight with them. Several of the guards were injured and fell to the ground. They were killed by the people on the ground, and their treasures were looted. The men in black saw this and their eyes were blazing with anger, wishing to kill anyone who intercepted them.
He couldn't even protect himself now, so why hadn't his family members shown up to help them? He was quickly hacked and stabbed several times, severely wounded. Finally, he spoke fiercely.
"You can't take my stuff," he said, using his last bit of strength to self-destruct. His flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the storage bag on his body was blown to dust. The contents were blown away by the blast.
A beautiful little box flew out. A man tried to catch it but was hacked and fell to the ground, seriously injured. Many people came to grab it. They fought each other for it. Just as they got it, they were beaten and killed.
The last person grabbed it, and just as he was about to open it, a crowd gathered around him. He lifted the lid and heard a series of explosions. There was no elixir inside, but explosion talismans. Not just one, but many. Many people around were injured by the explosion.
They only then realized that the man in black had changed the elixir. Now they were all dumbfounded. Where could they find the elixir after the man in black died?
Qiqi watched the scene through a telescope. The Pavilion Master was also watching, and Zhou Jingze put down the telescope. They said nothing. They all smiled in tacit understanding.
The Pavilion Master took the telescope and left without asking any questions.
Qiqi and the others also left the attic. They couldn't auction off the pills for a while, lest anyone harbor resentment towards the Pill Pavilion and cause trouble for Master. These spirit stones would be enough for the Lingxiao Sect to use for a while.
"You let someone else snatch the elixir away, and the Sixth Elder even blew himself up. Where is the elixir? Send people to search the place where he blew himself up and see where his belongings are scattered. Can you find the elixir?" said a handsome middle-aged man.
The messenger left the hall, muttering, "If we go again, it will be too late. We've already been hunted down by those who are chasing us." But he still sent someone to retrieve the Sixth Elder's body and bury it!
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze stayed at the Dan Pavilion. The Pavilion Master gave Zhou Jingze a sword manual. He saw that it was several times more powerful than the one he practiced. The defense and attack were coordinated very skillfully. It didn't have the big opening and closing moves he practiced.
Qiqi was also refining pills. Under the guidance of her master, she wanted to refine a seventh-grade bone-tempering pill and give it to Brother Xie Lei.
I also want to perfect the recipe of the longevity pill under the guidance of my master.
Qiqi was also refining the elixir when her spiritual power was exhausted. She repeatedly absorbed spiritual power, which made her reach the peak and break through a realm. She was able to cultivate a clone.
Zhou Jingze also practiced the sword manual given by his master to the seventh sword move. The Pavilion Master admired Zhou Jingze's level of practice, which was simply a demon.
Who on earth are these two disciples? I've never seen such a brilliant genius who can see through everything. And these two monsters are his own disciples. God must have opened his eyes and saw that I have no disciples, so he gave them to me for free. The Pavilion Master was drinking fragrant tea in the attic, secretly happy.
After more than ten days of refining, Qiqi consumed many herbs before she successfully refined six seventh-grade bone-tempering pills. She kept three for herself and gave the other three to her master. She couldn't use the herbs here for nothing, even though the Pavilion Master was her master. Qiqi didn't want to take advantage of him.
The Pavilion Master accepted the three Bone Tempering Pills with a cheerful smile. He gave Qiqi a recipe, "This is Master's perfected longevity pill. Can you see if you can refine it? With the modified recipe, it should be a seventh-grade pill. Don't worry, I've already prepared the herbs. Come to me if you need anything."
"Thank you, Master. You are so fast." Qiqi also flatters her master.
