Compared to the previous rounds of auction items, this round's Thousand dicine Formula undoubtedly captured more people's attention.
Especially when the auctioneer introduced it, he emphasized the term 'complete formula.' If it were an incomplete formula, it would naturally be as useless as having a half-baked redy, because fulfilling that missing ingredient might consu countless effort and cost.
But a complete formula ans it's ready for imdiate use once purchased.
"Two billion."
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, an elderly voice echoed from the dical Sect of the Six Ancient Martial Gates.
"Ladies and gentlen, please lend your ear. This old one from Xinglin, Xuelin has always adhered to the ancient teaching of using our knowledge to save the world, and Senior Sun, the dicine King, was indeed the most skilled among us. The Thousand dicine Formula is also our sacred scripture."
"Today, we are determined to acquire this incomplete Thousand dicine Formula. If you are willing to give this old one so leeway, we promise the full support from the dical Sect whenever needed."
"It's the dicine master Sun Dajian from the dical Sect."
"Yes, this Sun master has always considered himself a successor of the dicine King. He is highly respected and skilled in the dical Sect, and his prowess is known throughout the Ancient Martial World."
"Indeed, birth, old age, sickness, and death are inescapable; who dares say they won't need the dical Sect in the future? Consideration must be given."
"Ha, what's the use of you giving in? Do you dare to bid against them?"
A nearby person sneered mockingly.
"Hmph, what's it to you how I speak? If you're unhappy, why don't you call out a bid?"
The person being mocked was rendered speechless. Although the dical Sect was the weakest among the Six Ancient Martial Gates, no one dared to underestimate their importance.
On the contrary, while people of the dical Sect might not dominate the Ancient Martial World, no one dared to bully them, and everyone showed them so respect.
After all, no one could guarantee they wouldn't need dical help in their lifeti.
With the dical Sect's master expressing intent, many others reconsidered the risks of competing for the Thousand dicine Formula.
"Things related to dicine naturally belong to Xinglin. Each field has its specialization. However, old Sun, once these dicines are made, if we from the Heavenly Strategy Sect co to purchase from you, Xinglin should fulfill the need with full commitnt."
The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Strategy Sect directly spoke in support.
The Heavenly Strategy Sect focused on combat and had a significant demand for dications. Developing a team of skilled physicians was not cost-effective, so Heavenly Strategy and the dical Sect had long established a strategic partnership.
The Heavenly Strategy Sect's intervention led to the Mo Yin Sect's imdiate withdrawal. Though there were so conflicts among the Six Ancient Martial Gates, they weren't antagonistic, and each had their focus areas.
Moreover, involving core interest struggles would undoubtedly lead to conflicts. It wasn't worth offending the dical Sect over two Dan Formulas.
"Ha, it's quite laughable; this is an auction, not the Gu Family divvying fruits. If you want sothing, you'd better rely on strength to claim it."
"As for giving respect to Sun master from Xinglin, naturally we from the Ten Great Families will as well. How about this – we purchase the formula, and then give a copy of both Dan Formulas to the dical Sect!"
At this mont, Lin Dong, the Family Head of the Lin Family, the leader of the Ten Great Families, spoke up.
The Divinity Transformation Pill and the Vitality Pill weren't particularly alluring, but Lin Dong saw the value in the Divinity Transformation Pill.
The Lin Family practiced Sword Control Technique, which required a powerful spiritual power, and the Lin Family already possessed the weapon, Soul Condensing Pills.
Although both pills help enhance spiritual power, buying an additional Divinity Transformation Pill might seem redundant.
But actually, it wasn't.
The Lin Family's rise to the top of the Ten Great Families was due to several items they brought back from the Kunlun Secret Realm, including Sword Control Technique, Divine Aperture Technique, and Soul Condensing Pills.
These three items cented the Lin Family's current status as the leader of the Ten Great Families.
Even if the Divinity Transformation Pill had similar effects to the Soul Condensing Pill, Lin Dong wouldn't let it flow out of the family and beco a threat.
If the Divinity Transformation Pill and Soul Condensing Pill were entirely different, it would offer the Lin Family more options. After all, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used in Soul Condensing Pills weren't extinct but were costly to produce.
If they could replace the ingredients or even create new formulas by reflecting on the two, it would be significant.
Securing the Divinity Transformation Pill was crucial for the Lin Family.
At other tis, granting so respect to the dical Sect would be fine, but not when it's about the family's foundation.
As for his promises, they were not entirely false, but the formulas given to the dical Sect would certainly be edited.
"The Lin Family bids five billion."
Lin Dong was silent for a while, but when he spoke, it was with determination.
His bid imdiately quintupled the original price.
"Five billion is quite substantial. Since the Lin Family head steps forward, my Xiao Family should yield. However, everyone knows my Xiao Family's significant industry is dical and pharmaceuticals, so this formula is better preserved by us. Once our experts fully research it, it could indeed benefit the entire Ancient Martial World."
Xiao Rang cheerily spoke, not giving face to the Lin Family, the leader of the Ten Great Families.
Although the Ten Great Families stood united, it didn't an every family followed the Lin Family blindly. If that were the case, there wouldn't be Ten Great Families, but only the Lin Family and its cronies.
The Lin Family needed the formula for its foundation, but for the Xiao Family, the formula held huge potential value.
One reason the Xiao Family was dubbed Golden Mountain Xiao was its towering pharmaceutical empire, using ancient formulas to produce dicines.
So of these dicines were sold to the Ancient Martial World, while diluted versions were marketed to the secular world.
Currently, the largest health supplent company in Yan Country is the Xiao Family, earning them imnse wealth.
"I bid ten billion."
The Golden Mountain Xiao, a na well-deserved, having just spent three billion on the outdated Thirty-Six Character Yin-Yang Secret Technique, now opted to invest with ten billion.
This truly demonstrated wealth.
"You, this is too much!"
Hearing the bids of both parties, Sun Dajian from the dical Sect almost exploded with anger. Though the dical Sect mastered fine dical skills, they followed tradition and maintained seclusion.
This led to a disinterest in wealth, preferring not to monetize healing. Coupled with the expensive production and research of formulas, they were forced to engage in the business of dicine for balance.
Still, the dical Sect's pharmaceutical endeavors resembled small workshops, but due to the limited scale of the Ancient Martial World, it was sufficient to maintain a financial balance.
Unlike other forces, the dical Sect didn't expand industriously but stuck to ancestral teachings, focusing solely on dicine, which made them adept in the art but quite financially limited.
Even twenty billion was their hard-earned savings over the years. Originally, Sun master hoped to acquire the two formulas through reputation, but the Lin and Xiao Families left no room for such tactics.
Yet Sun master's explosive anger didn't make Lin Dong or Xiao Rang flinch because both knew the capability of the dical Sect.
"Ha, a hundred billion. The Xiao Family indeed has vast wealth."
"In that case, I must apologize, as well. A hundred and fifty billion."
