C16

The Million Treasures Auction Ceremony of the Pill Sect was held as scheduled. The entire city square was an auction house. The huge city square was packed with a sea of people. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

The Pill Sect had taken the necessary precautions and deployed their strength to protect the auction venue to prevent anyone from causing trouble. This was also a time for the sect to establish its might. If they messed up, their reputation would be ruined.

Duan Ru Yue and Bu Bao Yuan were already there. They were sitting on the main floor, waiting for an item they hoped for to appear. Duan Yi's heart was filled with anxiety, as if he was worried about something.

In order to complete this auction, Duan Ru Yue had prepared 1 million Tier 3 spiritual pills. He believed that no sect in Fire Dragon City had such strength. As long as the treasure he had hoped for appeared in the auction, Duan Ru would immediately make a move.

After watching for a while, Duan Ru Yue then entered the inner room to drink a cup of tea.

"Sect Leader, why aren't you watching?" Bu Baoyuan asked in concern.

"These are all appetizers, I guess the good scenes will all come later." Bu Baoyuan thought for a moment and went out to watch the auction for the Sect Leader. If he missed the auction, it would be a joke.

"Everyone pay attention. This is a secret manual for concocting pills. It is a Tier 1 spiritual pill. The starting price is 100 thousand Tier 1 spiritual pills. Everyone, please bid!"

In Fire Dragon City, the method to concoct a Tier 1 spiritual pill wasn't a secret. Only Tier 3 spiritual pill manuals were valuable. As a result, no one bid on it.

At this moment, a lazy voice called out, "I offer 110 thousand Tier 1 spiritual pills!"

The auctioneer was excited. As long as there was an offer, there would be no awkward silence. Even if the auction was a success, it would be of no benefit to him.

"120 thousand!" "150 thousand!" "200 thousand!" "200 thousand!"

The host smiled. This was a gift he had arranged himself. As long as someone bid, he or she would immediately raise the bid. This way, he or she would be able to sell it for a good price. Sure enough, someone was fooled.

"I bid 210 thousand," "Alright, are there any bids, are there any bids?" After asking about it thrice, the auctioneer received a hint and stopped raising the bid. The auction of the Tier 1 Spirit Pill was a success.

Duan Ru Tian, who was drinking tea in his room, also noticed something. "Brother Bu, did you arrange for a meeting?"

"Sect Leader, these are the rules of the auction. I have no choice, otherwise, things will get out of hand!"

Duan Ling Tian smiled. "Fraud is everywhere, haha. Alright, I understand."

The auction outside was still in progress. After a while, the auction reached its climax. Duan Jian knew that it was also arranged by Bu Baoyuan just by listening to it.

The host was shouting, "This is a set of Heavenly Dragon Grass. There are 10 of them. They are 1,000 years old. The starting price is 200 Tier 3 spiritual pills. Does anyone bid?"

This was a huge fortune. Ten thousand-year-old Heavenly Dragon Grass was enough to create ten first-class envoys. If they were to make good use of this wealth, they could even cultivate ten top-notch experts. This was something one couldn't help but covet.

After a moment of silence, someone made a bid.

"I bid 300 Tier 3 Spiritual Pills, 400, 500."

"Everyone, stop fighting, I bid 1000 pills."

The host was stunned. He hadn't even sent out a price, so he wanted to raise the price to close to a thousand. He didn't expect that someone would actually bid a thousand. The host was overjoyed.

"Is there anyone else who wishes to bid? If there is no bid, then it is this mister's." After asking three times in a row, no one bid any higher, and ten Sky Dragon Grass became this person's possession.

Bu Baoyuan entered the room and reported, "Sect Leader, the ten thousand-year Heavenly Dragon Grass you arranged has sold for a high price of a thousand. This is good, this is the price our Pill Sect will sell for a thousand years from now."

As long as he had the Spiritual Qi Pills, he would be able to grow the Heavenly Dragon Grass without any restrictions. In the entire Fire Dragon Province, only he had the goods, and even if he sold every one of them for 200 Tier 3 Spiritual Pills, they could only buy them. Otherwise, who would they go to?

The auction had reached its climax. A piece of sheepskin appeared, and it was a treasure map. Bu Baoyuan immediately reported to Duan Ru, and when Duan Ru came out to take a look, the auction price had already risen to 10 thousand Tier 3 spiritual energy pills.

Duan Meng was slightly anxious. "I offer 20 thousand grade three spirit pills."

There was still someone bidding: "I bid 30 thousand Tier 3 Spiritual Pills." Duan Jidao made up his mind. "I bid 100 thousand Tier 3 Spiritual Pills." Duan Ru Yue revealed his price, but no one bid.

Duan Meng was determined to get it. Although he didn't know what kind of treasure this piece of lousy sheepskin was, he would rather spend it than let it slip by. Seeing that no one was bidding, Duan Ling Tian was slightly complacent. Just as they were about to send someone to exchange for the dilapidated sheepskin, someone else made a bid.

"I bid 10 Tier 4 Spiritual Pills." The entire auction went silent.

"My god, a Tier 4 spiritual pill has appeared!" "Fire Dragon Province actually has a Tier 4 spiritual pill!"

Duan Meng was dumbfounded. He had a heaven's quantity of Tier 3 spiritual pills, but not Tier 4 ones. Right now, he could only concoct Tier 3 spiritual pills, so Tier 4 was a huge hurdle. He once asked Duan Peng when he would be able to refine a Tier 4 spiritual pill. Duan Peng clearly said that as long as he could find the first page on the map, he would be able to recover his memories and refine a Tier 4 spiritual pill without any problems.

Duan Ren felt indignant in his heart. He only had 2 million Tier 3 spiritual pills, but he didn't have any Tier 4 pills. He only wanted to see if the sheepskin seller would be able to accommodate him.

"I have 100 thousand Tier 3 spiritual pills. Can you give me the sheepskin?"

"No, Tier 4 spiritual energy pills are too important to me. Even if you have 1 million Tier 3 spiritual energy pills, I won't sell it." Duan Jian was at a loss for words. That piece of lousy sheepskin was in the hands of the person who bid ten Tier 4 spiritual pills.

Duan Meng was naturally unwilling: "Brother Bu, immediately send out your own men to investigate the situation of this person. I must obtain that piece of lousy sheepskin."

Bu Baoyuan finally understood that since he couldn't bid, he had no choice but to snatch it away. This was the law of the jungle, and whoever had the strongest fist would be the boss.

Not long after he left, Bu Baoyuan came back.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, the person who bought the sheepskin is not from Fire Dragon Prefecture. It seems to be from Fire Elephant State, and has already stayed in our Sky Inn. What should we do?"

"Brother Bu, don't tell me that you still don't understand?" "This subordinate understands," Bu Baoyuan said as he prepared to leave. "Don't make a move on our territory." Duan Ru warned.

However, after a day had passed, that person still did not leave. Instead, he had gotten drunk in the inn. The experts sent by Bu Baoyuan were still unable to do anything, so Bu Baoyuan could only report to Duan Ren truthfully.

"Brother Bu, you've been tricked. The items have long since left. If you don't believe me, you can search them!"

Bu Baoyuan was stunned, "It can't be, our people have been watching us all this time." Duan Ru laughed, "I've already sent out another team. If I'm not wrong, there's still a reply."

Sure enough, a carrier pigeon flew in from the window, Duan Ru took a letter from the carrier pigeon's leg and quickly took a look.

"Brother Bu, gather the eight guards and leave the city!"

Bu Baoyuan flew away quickly and brought eight people with him after a short while.

"Listen up, get out of the city and meet up with the east envoy. We must cut off the sheepskin." Duan Ren gave the order, and the eight guards flew away, arriving at the edge of the dense forest at Little Tang Mountain outside the city. A person floated out from the dense forest. It was the Easterner: "Come with me, that person is in the dense forest."
