Ye Haochuan originally didn’t plan to buy these five Escape Pills. After all, if you really want to win these in a normal auction, it would be impossible without a hundred thousand red crystals.
He doesn’t have that many red crystals now, and he has to save them for the artifact he has his eye on. If he spends too much now and ends up lacking red crystals later, it would be embarrassing.
But now it’s different. Under Gu Fan’s strong bidding, Ye Haochuan only needs to spend thirty thousand and one spirit crystals to purchase them, which is definitely worth it. After all, if used well, each Escape Pill can save a life.
Of course, his daring purchase also cos from the advantage provided by this private booth. The Gu Family is searching for him everywhere. Exposing himself to the Gu Family for an item would be a foolish decision.
He firmly believes that the Legendary Chamber of Comrce wouldn’t expose him to Gu Fan. The Chamber’s reputation is one reason, but his Supre status is a crucial reason.
If the Chamber can’t even protect a Supre Jade Token holder, then there’s no reason for it to exist.
Evidently, Ye Haochuan’s assumption was correct. Gu Fan was thwarted, and the Escape Pills are now his.
Soon, soone knocked on his door. Using his Perspective Eyes, he quickly realized it was soone from the Legendary Chamber of Comrce delivering the Escape Pills.
Unexpectedly, the person delivering the Escape Pills was Manager Fang.
"Manager Fang, what an honor for you to handle such trivial errands," Ye Haochuan joked.
Manager Fang didn’t seem as relaxed as Ye Haochuan; he appeared quite solemn and said, "Fellow Friend Ye, you might have just arrived in Mushan City and aren’t aware of Gu Fan’s background. Gu Fan belongs to the Gu Family and is arrogant and domineering. Now that you’ve provoked him, he definitely won’t let this go easily."
"My suggestion to you is to leave for now. The pills you wish to auction, I’ll pay you the estimated price upfront, so you can rest assured. I’ve been in the auction business for years; my estimation skills are reliable, trust it won’t differ much!"
With that, he handed Ye Haochuan a ring. No need to ask; it clearly contained Manager Fang’s estimated amount of red crystals.
Ye Haochuan’s heart ward. Manager Fang had co specifically to advise him to escape.
"There’s no need for concern, Manager Fang. I’m well aware of Gu Fan’s identity. Since I’ve dared to provoke him, naturally I’m not afraid of him!" Ye Haochuan laughed. "However, I do have to trouble Manager Fang to keep my identity a secret from him!"
"Hmm?" Manager Fang looked puzzled.
Ye Haochuan’s two statents seed contradictory. The first said he wasn’t afraid of Gu Fan, but the second asked not to let Gu Fan know, clearly fearing Gu Fan’s pestering.
Quickly, Manager Fang ca up with a rationale on his own: Ye Haochuan must have a powerful background, otherwise, he wouldn’t have a Supre Jade Token. He simply didn’t want to waste ti with Gu Fan, hence wanted his identity concealed.
Thinking this, Manager Fang couldn’t help but take another look at Ye Haochuan’s enigmatic identity.
In the Myriad Realms Mansion, the Legendary Chamber of Comrce is definitely top-tier, and the holders of the Supre Jade Token are all influential figures.
Yet, the na of Ye Haochuan was unfamiliar to him. Moreover, judging by Ye Haochuan’s cultivation, he seed like a reclusive master. The assumption that he had a profound background seed unlikely; if he possessed a formidable background, he wouldn’t be selling pills out of necessity.
Without the matching details engraved on the Supre Jade Token that proved Ye Haochuan’s identity, Manager Fang might have thought Ye Haochuan was an imposter.
"I guess I overthought it!" Manager Fang mused on his perplexing speculations and laughed.
"Manager Fang is considering my needs, and for that, I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart!" Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.
His words weren’t insincere; he genuinely felt moved by Manager Fang.
Manager Fang didn’t waste ti with small talk and handed Ye Haochuan the Escape Pills before leaving.
anwhile, Ye Haochuan continued to keep his attention on the auction.
His decision to stay isn’t because he’s unafraid of Gu Fan; being pursued by that guy would indeed be troubleso. But he can’t leave without securing the artifact he’s after.
"How are things?" In Box 18, Gu Fan, with a cold expression, asked the person in front of him.
The person shook their head: "The Legendary Chamber of Comrce personnel are guarding Box 28, no one can approach, and I couldn’t get in!"
Apparently, after being thwarted, Gu Fan didn’t give up and sent soone to investigate Box 23 in secret, at least to discover who was inside.
Unbeknownst to him, the Legendary Chamber of Comrce was one step ahead, and his plan was thwarted.
"This person seems quite formidable, having good relations with the Legendary Chamber of Comrce no less; otherwise, they wouldn’t receive such special treatnt!" Gu Fan pondered.
It’s improbable the Chamber of Comrce is just saving face, otherwise, they wouldn’t have stationed guards afterward. The current situation suggests they very much prioritize whoever is in Box 23.
"Keep watching. I don’t believe he won’t leave after the auction ends!" Gu Fan spat, annoyed.
His subordinates obeyed the orders, while Gu Fan himself struggled to suppress his anger and refocus on the auction.
"Damn it, I never expected to encounter such frustrating situations at such a low-level auction; truly unlucky!"
Gu Fan complained to himself.
His purpose at this low-level auction was for a final item. He assud he’d acquire anything he wanted easily; he didn’t expect soone to intervene mid-way, causing such dissatisfaction.
"Next, we’re auctioning a set of Spirit Level Pills," the auctioneer announced as he introduced the next lot.
While Gu Fan’s n monitored Ye Haochuan, several items had been auctioned, and the atmosphere shifted from initial discomfort to a more lively pace, picking up montum.
"I believe everyone knows, each Mystic Level Elixir varies by grade. Typically, the common Mortal Grade elixir ets basic needs.
However, when faced with special circumstances requiring higher efficacy, the cost of second-grade Profound Pills is beyond most attendees; during such tis, to quickly restore oneself to optimal condition, higher-grade first-grade Profound Pills are required."
With a few statents, the auctioneer clearly explained the effectiveness of Spirit Grade Pills and stirred the crowd’s excitent.
Bear in mind, when two opponents suffer similar injuries, the recovery speed of one using a Spirit Level Profound Pill would be at least ten tis faster than one using a Mortal Level Profound Pill. Thus, what was a stalemate in battle would quickly turn into a decisive fight.
"One thousand red crystals apiece..."
"A thousand red crystals for Spirit Level Profound Pills? You think you’re buying cabbage? I bid one thousand one..."
"A thousand one will only get you squat; I bid one thousand five..."
The auctioneer hadn’t begun the bidding before the crowd stirred into a buzzing commotion.
Whoa, it’s surprising these Spirit Level Pills are in such demand. Looks like I’m going to strike it rich!
Ye Haochuan was already laughing inside his private box!
