Hearing the words from the Zuoqiu Family, whispers erupted from the various private rooms below.
Though the Infinite Treasure Pill is precious, it is not sothing urgently needed by a Fourth-Grade Noble Family. After all, being a Fourth-Grade Family ans they can at least ensure the stable succession of three Purple Mansion Realm experts.
And to maintain the rotation of three Purple Mansion experts, the family often nurtures no fewer than five Celestial Prides. Even if the number of Celestial Prides is lacking temporarily, after a few decades, with the birth of the next generation or the next, it naturally gets supplented. In this way, the dependency on the Infinite Treasure Pill is reduced.
"Silence."
Noticing the noisy venue, the expression of the aged auctioneer turned stern as he suddenly shouted loudly.
In an instant, an unseen force spread throughout the private rooms.
The venue suddenly beca silent.
Though the elder was not a Purple Mansion Ascendant, he represented the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. The vast majority of noble families are quite wary and respectful of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
"Hmph! Youngster from the Zuoqiu Family, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion has its own rules. During auctions, before and after, no threatening or snatching of others’ auction items, or else it’ll be considered being an enemy of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion," the elder said in a majestic loud voice, "Considering your young age and it’s your first ti, I won’t pursue it with you. But if you dare to repeat such actions, you’ll be imdiately expelled from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Later, soone will naturally question your Zuoqiu Family."
His words were heavy, causing the entire auction venue to fall silent, even the private room of Zuoqiu Family quieted down.
Indeed, without rules, there can be no order. The Hundred Treasures Pavilion operates a long-standing business for thousands of years, naturally making utmost efforts to maintain order.
If soone could easily threaten others in the auction venue or snatch auction items afterward, if this spreads, what would beco of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion’s reputation? Over ti, who would dare attend their auctions?
Seeing everyone settle down, the elder softened his expression before continuing the auction: "Does anyone have any questions? If not, let’s continue with the auction..."
"Master~" Wang Shouzhe suddenly spoke, "How effective is the Infinite Treasure Pill if taken by a ’Spirit Platform Realm’ Celestial Pride?"
The auctioneer elder glanced lightly at Wang Shouzhe’s private room: "It’s not recomnded for those with a Triple Bloodline; the effect is very low."
"Dare I ask, Master, how low exactly?" Wang Shouzhe asked again.
"From the Initial Stage to the Middle Stage of a Triple Bloodline, it only has about twenty to thirty percent effectiveness, thus the cost-effectiveness is very poor," the auctioneer elder replied, albeit with so impatience, before pausing to ask, "Any other questions?"
"Thank you, Master, for clarifying." Wang Shouzhe thanked courteously but thought to himself that this item ultimately couldn’t compare to the Marriage Robe Blood Gu King.
Back then, that Marriage Robe Blood Gu King had elevated his bloodline from the Initial Stage to the Middle Stage of the Triple Layer in one go.
Nevertheless, it was enough.
After all, Wang Shouzhe was already at the peak of the Triple Bloodline, only lacking that final step.
The auctioneer elder then stated: "Continuing with the auction of the ’Infinite Treasure Pill’, the starting bid is two million Qian Gold, with each incrent not less than one hundred thousand Qian Gold."
"Two million five hundred thousand." The Southern Desert Mo Family began, directly raising by fifty thousand, not leaving any chance for others to bargain hunt.
"Hmph, two million six hundred thousand." A voice ca from the Zuoqiu Family’s side.
"Two million seven hundred thousand." Wang Shouzhe also joined the fray.
"Two million eight hundred thousand."
"Three million!" Zuoqiu Family called out coldly.
Such a price already made several families considering to stockpile withdraw from the thought of competing. Infinite Treasure Pills reaching three million is generally the urgent price, losing cost-effectiveness.
Inside the Southern Desert Mo Family’s private room, the Patriarch Mo said to Mo Waoqiu: "Waoqiu, the family elders approved a cap of three million three hundred thousand, and I can personally add another twenty thousand. Exceeding this price..."
Mo Waoqiu nodded sensibly: "Rest assured, Father. If it cos to that, then it ans it wasn’t ant for this ti."
"Good." Patriarch Mo continued the bidding, "Three million three hundred thousand."
"You all..."
Inside the Zuoqiu Family’s private room, the young master couldn’t believe that a re Sixth-Grade Family dared to excessively bid so much.
His face turned very unpleasant, but he bit his teeth and bid, "Three million four hundred thousand."
"Three million five hundred thousand." The Mo Family raised their bid again.
When Zuoqiu Family wanted to bid again, the Celestial Human Realm Elder beside reminded: "Master Seventy-Nine, the premium is too high. Better to stop here and think of other ways. Although Infinite Treasure Pill is precious, there are always ways to acquire it."
Fourth-Grade Noble Families indeed have money, but it’s not like it grows on trees. Besides, Fourth-Grade Families have large populations, countless branches and connections, and nurous rules to adhere to, thus one cannot act recklessly.
"Bid one more round, I’ll add my personal funds." Young Master Zuoqiu said angrily, "If I still can’t get it, then so be it."
"Three million six hundred thousand!" Young Master Zuoqiu called out loudly. If
that damn Mo Family still wants it, they’d need to bid three million seven hundred thousand, an additional twenty thousand, and whether they can afford it is the question.
Patriarch Mo sighed and said: "Young Master Zuoqiu, you’ve won."
After speaking, he looked apologetically at Mo Waoqiu. He had done his best, but ultimately couldn’t compare to a Fourth-Grade Noble Family, not to ntion a young master from such a family.
