Chapter 1581: Pill Auction



"Over a hundred thousand Saint Spirit stones with just the Lightning pill, your majesty,"  Liang Shufen said. "That is amazing. I could have never expected such a pill to get that many spirit stones."

"One can only wonder how much they would pay for a pill with a much higher number of pills veins," Yao Ning said. "I wonder if the order of the final two treasures would be switched around."

"No need to daydreaming," Alex said. "Let's focus on the auction for now. We still have 6 different types of pills left to sell."

The next pill in the sale was the Saint Spirit Immunity pill. He had given them 5 of these as well, so he was excited to see just how much they would sell for.

100% Harmony on the pill alone was something that no one got to seen before, and somehow they were now seeing pills with pill veins in sale. As such, no one wanted to give up on the pills and were ready to place all the money they had on them.

Alex looked at the numbers and quickly realized that there weren't that many people to pay money for this one pill, however. 

It had probably to do with the fact that there were artifacts that did the same thing as well. However, while artifacts lost energy very quickly, this pill would last them for hours.

During a fight for life and death, that would be very important.

The very first of the spirit pills were sold for 19 thousand Saint spirit stones, a little less than what he had expected.

However, the following ones increased in sales as the bidding continued. 

21000.

21500.

23500.

23800.

While these pills didn't cross the 25 thousand spirit stones threshold as the previous pill did, Alex was fine with that. After all, this was only the 2nd pill. 

Getting 100 thousand Saint spirit stones with something whose ingredients weren't even that rare made him not feel bad at the loss in sales compared to the last one.

Alex wondered how the next pill would sell if this spirit pill earned less than the first one.

He had a hunch that it would sell more, but he would have to see.

The main important aspect of the third pill, the Saint Poison Neutralizing Pill, was that there weren't many ways to fend off a poison attack prior to being poisoned.

There were artifacts, formations, and talismans, but they had to be constantly running for them to work. There weren't that many things that would magically spring up from one's body and stop the poison before it affected them.

Even those were mostly to stop the poison from ever entering one's body. If someone managed to bypass them and poisoned the user, then the user would have no choice but to try and eat an antidote in a hurry.

If the poison was ever too strong, they would even die.

this pill averted that exact danger by being an antidote that you ate in advance. Not only that, it also worked with almost any poison out there. Even in the case of the most lethal poison out there, this pill would instantly block them, and that landed a lot better with the many buyers than the spirit pill.

The first pill alone was sold for 27000 Saint Spirit stones, easily breaking the 25000 threshold at the first sale.

The elders around Alex were more excited than he was when the bidding was concluded. 

27000 was an amazing price for the pill, with an equally amazing effect.

The following 4 pills sold for even more.

28000

28600

29900

35000

The final bidding was quite intense in what seemed like a battle between two bidders. They each continued increasing the amount by 100 Saint Spirit stones from back at 30 thousand Saint Spirit stones and kept the back and forth going for another 40 times.

It was only when the bidding suddenly jumped by 1000 at the end the other party stopped and the bid was complete.

Alex had made way more than 130 thousand Saint Spirit stones this time around, a rather massive jump.

And it was only the 3rd pill.

There were more pills to come, even better ones.

The Water Root Transformation pillow is up next. As soon as it was introduced as the pill Alex had made back in the competition against the emperor, everyone was excited about that pill.

Due to its ability to turn one's regular Spirital root to Water Spiritual root for 10 days, Alex was sure that it would sell for quite a bit.

While he was correct in assuming that they would earn a lot due to just the bizarre nature of the pill, there was the problem that there were only 3 of the pills, compared to the 5 for the other one.

As such, the total sales of the pills barely crossed the 100 thousand Saint Spirit stones.

"I have hoped it would sell for much more than this," Yao Ning said. "But I suppose having a Water root for just 10 days isn't that attractive for most people."

"But it is useful for people with weak Water Spiritual root, isn't it? With this, they can learn Water Dao more easily thanks to having two different roots," Whisker said softly. 

"That is true," Alex said. "But I believe the problem here isn't that the pill has very little usability when compared to say the poison neutralizing pill, but that what usability it does have become irrelevant for people that already know ahead."

"You're right, Your Majesty," Yao Ning said. "Everyone must be looking ahead for the Water and Earth Spiritual Root Improvement pill."

"Yes," Alex said. "Whatever, it still sold for quite a decent amount. That is the price most other items sold in this place."

"That's true," Yao Ning said.

Once the bidding for the pill was over, the auctioneer moved on to the 5th pill that she was selling.

The Soul Trancing Pill.

The Soul Trancing pill was guaranteed to be a hit from the start. A pill that put someone in a trance that only came to someone once in a lifetime was a chance no one wanted to give up on.

Furthermore, putting one in the same mental state one would need to be where one could gain enlightenment regarding the various nature of the world was even more lucrative for many. 

Adding on to that the auction house guaranteed the enlightenment of a Dao, so long as one was close to it made it very much popular amongst all the people that were there.

When the bidding began at just 10 thousand Saint Spirit stones, as they had promised Alex it would, it quickly rose high and crossed 30 thousand in an instant.

It continued going up from there, slowly but steadily increasing in amount.

The people here knew that they weren't paying for a pill at all. They were paying for a Dao and would fork out however many Saint Spirit stones as they would have to. 

No matter how much they paid, it would all be cheap for them. After all, one couldn't put a price on a Dao.

A Dao was a ticket to Immortality.

A Dao was priceless.

A Dao… sold at 69000 Saint spirit stones.

"Nice!" Alex couldn't help but say. "I would have been sad if it didn't even cross 50 thousand. This is great."

"It was bound to sell for a lot," Yao Ning said. "It is an amazing pill."

The others nodded. "Let's see how the next one sells. I hope it does better than the first one," Alex said.

The next pill quickly crossed the 30 thousand Saint spirit stones in a matter of seconds. It shot up past 40 thousand and only slowed down to around 50 thousand.

From the constant flipping of numbers, it was sure that there were quite a few people gunning for it. More than that, this was the only remaining pill that could help them acquire that Dao that they were so close to.

So, they were more than willing to go broke for it.

They could earn money later on. But Dao? That was not something they could acquire as easily.

The numbers shot past 60 thousand in a matter of minutes and a few minutes later it reached 70 thousand and crossed it

Alex looked at the difference in time before the numbers flipped and looked back at the woman that was in the room. "Is the auction increasing the timer in which the big must be made? I can feel it going slower than normal," he said.

"They do increase the timer as the amount increases," the woman said. "To give more time for the others to make a decision. Sometimes, they have to call other folks to request money and whatnot, so they need the time."

"Ah, right," Alex said. "Request for money. I completely forgot that was a possibility at all. I'll see if I need it."

He turned around and focused on the pill that was being sold.

The number had slowed down by now, reaching some 73000 when Alex focused back on it. It continued increasing, but it didn't look like there was much left for it to increase.

Dwindling, it stopped at 76200.

No one wanted to pay any more than that, and the bidding stopped.

Alex looked at the earning and smiled to himself. Together, he had earned nearly 140 thousand Saint spirit stones from just those 2 pills.

And he knew why they weren't bidding more.

That was because they were saving for the other two pills that were going to be sold next.
