573: Chapter 0573: Won’t Let You Have Your Way 573: Chapter 0573: Won’t Let You Have Your Way Long Fei nodded faintly at the auctioneer, thinking to himself, “It’s just 1.2 million, is there really a need to get so excited?”
The auctioneer exclaid with joy, “1.2 million!
This gentleman is willing to bid 1.2 million.
Is there anyone else who would like to raise the bid?”
The crowd was abuzz, but who would want to be that fool?
The auctioneer banged the copper hamr with a smack, and after three strikes, it was officially sold.
A beauty dressed in a cheongsam brought over a glass of red wine with graceful steps and offered it to Long Fei as she bent over respectfully.
The auctioneer also bowed to express his respect, saying, “Let us give a round of applause for this generous gentleman.
Thanks to him, thousands of orphans in Binhai City will have an egg and a cup of milk every morning.”
The applause was sparse, with most people looking at Long Fei with an expression reserved for a country bumpkin.
Only a few people gave Long Fei a thumbs up, nodding in acknowledgnt.
The auctioneer tapped the copper hamr and continued, “Alright, the next item for auction is the big surprise we’ve prepared for everyone today.”
She pulled off the red cloth, revealing a brocade box.
Opening the brocade box, a pill was revealed inside.
The cara zood in on it, and once it was projected onto the big screen, it imdiately caused a stir among the crowd.
“Is this a pill from the Jiang Family?”
“It seems so!”
“Such a strong scent of dicine, I can even sll it from here.”
“This is a fantastic item, absolutely fantastic!”
The auctioneer surveyed the crowd, apparently expecting their reactions.
She tapped the copper hamr, waited for the crowd to quiet down, and then slowly said, “This pill is called the Detoxification Pill and has been refined by our Jiang Family Ancestor after three months of seclusion.
It can eliminate all known toxins and viruses in the body.
Without exaggeration, it can even eradicate cancer cells and HIV.”
This statent once again caused a sensation in the venue.
The auctioneer paused for a mont, then continued, “As everyone knows, our family’s pills are usually supplied only to those mysterious families and are never sold to the general public.
If it weren’t for your participation in this event, this pill would not be circulated in the market.
And we can assure you, looking across the country, only our Jiang Family Ancestor has the ability to refine these true Dragon Pattern Pills.”
She put on gloves, picked up the pill, and placed it under the cara.
The pill was black, with a pattern resembling a dragon or serpent winding around it, clearly a First Grade Elixir.
Given Divine Dragon Auction House’s reputation, nobody doubted the authenticity of the pill.
The crowd, rubbing their hands eagerly, wide-eyed, awaited the auctioneer to announce the starting bid.
The auctioneer put the pill back in place, tapped the copper hamr, and whetted everyone’s appetite by saying, “After careful consideration by our Jiang Family’s Clan Elders, the starting bid for this pill is 10 billion, with each bid incrent being one billion.
The bidding starts now.”
As the copper hamr struck, the venue erupted into noise.
10 billion?
Even the rich elites here couldn’t help but gasp at the price.
This is exorbitant.
So billionaires who were initially eager to bid imdiately deflated upon hearing the starting price.
Lin Yingying covered her mouth, thinking of the pill she had eaten the other day, her heart aching so much she almost cramped.
She asked Long Fei in a low voice, “The one I ate that day, was it also that expensive?”
Long Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Pretty much!”
“What?”
Lin Yingying huffed lightly, her mouth forming an ‘O’ shape.
No wonder Shen Feng from Shen Family couldn’t contain his emotion that day— the value of a single pill was so exorbitant!
Her entire Lin’s Group didn’t even make that much in profit in a year!
Actually, Long Fei’s Beauty-preserving Pill was slightly inferior, with an upper limit of 10 billion at most.
After all, it was a Half-Patterned Pill, not as pure as the One-Patterned ones.
A Half-Patterned Pill could at most purify five percent of the dicinal properties.
anwhile, a One-Patterned Pill could purify ten percent of the dicinal properties.
In scientific terms, a One-Patterned Pill was already at the nanoter level.
Despite the steep price, it couldn’t stop the many tycoons in attendance, and soon there were nurous bidders raising their paddles.
Moreover, there were quite a few of them.
Wealthy as one may be, who can guarantee they’ll never fall ill in their lifeti?
It’s just buying peace of mind with money.
The Detoxification Pill can certainly detoxify and remove bodily viruses; that much is true.
But curing a disease is a systemic project; it’s not that eradicating the virus alone can fully restore one’s health.
If a virus could erge, it definitely ans there are issues with certain cells and organs.
Top-tier dicine can eradicate viruses now, but it can’t repair damaged cells and body organs.
In a few years, the sa problems would likely reoccur.
Long Fei took a special look at Wuu Xudong, who might truly be in need of a Detoxification Pill.
But he didn’t speak up; instead, he kept exchanging glances with the person in front.
Long Fei could tell at a glance this person must be related to him.
Wuu Xudong has a big problem!
Long Fei beca alert, watching the activity in the room quietly, ready to have a good talk with Wuu Xudong later.
Last ti he let him escape, but this ti he couldn’t let him go.
After several rounds of bidding, the price had risen from ten billion to twelve billion.
The tycoons in the room showed no sign of stopping, continuing to raise their paddles.
The person arranged by Wuu Xudong was a major force inside; as soon as soone raised the bid, he imdiately followed suit, determined to win.
Such business was optional for the Jiang Family.
They could directly make deals with the Cultivator Families without the hassle of an auction.
Offering a pill this ti was rely to add excitent to the banquet.
When the price reached two hundred billion, the voices of the bidders gradually quieted down.
Everything has its value, and once it exceeds that value, so people either run out of funds or simply don’t think it’s worth it anymore.
A One-Patterned Pill is worth around two hundred billion.
Even for Lin’s Group, it wouldn’t be easy to put forth two hundred billion at once.
Although the people in the room were wealthy and wanted to use their money to save their lives, not everyone could afford it.
Wuu Xudong curled the corners of his mouth; the last person to make a bid was the one he had arranged.
The Wuu Family was willing to spend all their assets this ti to secure the pill.
There was no choice, as his corpses’ poison was becoming more severe.
Only with this pill was there a chance of cure.
Since returning from the Temple of Spiritual Mountain, he followed the monk’s advice, drinking a bowl of young servant’s blood each day.
The corpses’ poison really started to be suppressed, but as ti went on, his body’s drug resistance grew stronger.
He now had to drink three bowls of young servant’s blood daily, and from different servants each ti.
The kindergartens of Suburb County had already been ravaged by the Wuu Family.
If he relied on legal ans, he couldn’t get the blood at all.
Now, by using force and threats, they had caused much panic in the Suburb County area, and these past two days had already drawn the police’s attention.
Long Fei asked Lin Yingying, “If the Wuu Corporation were to go all out, how much money could they co up with now?”
Lin Yingying frowned, still pained by the idea of losing her pills, and wondered why Long Fei was suddenly interested in this.
After calculating, she said, “Combining various stocks, factories, mines, and real estate, they could liquidate about three hundred billion at most, which is the limit that Wuu Corporation can handle.”
“Understood!”
A sly smile spread across Long Fei’s lips.
The auctioneer struck the copper hamr twice, looking around as he asked, “Is there any gentleman who wishes to bid higher?”
Wuu Xudong’s hands were clenched nervously, his eyes glaring at the pill as if they could shoot fire.
At this mont, Long Fei suddenly made a move, raising his paddle high and said indifferently, “Three hundred billion!”
The crowd thought they had heard wrongly, turning their heads to look at him.
The youths behind him erupted in chaos, staring at Long Fei in disbelief, thinking this young man must be out of his mind.
Others would raise the bid by one billion, but he had just raised it by a hundred billion outright.
Wuu Xudong turned back to look at him, his eyes burning with hatred, his mouth corners revealing pointed fangs that quickly retracted.
Long Fei seed to notice sothing, raising his eyebrows slightly and nodding with a faint smile toward him.
That contemptibly smug expression made Wuu Xudong wish he could tear Long Fei into a thousand pieces.
