"Eleven million!"

While everyone was still astonished by He Dewen’s sudden bid increase of 3.2 million, a cold voice rang out. This startled everyone present. They looked up and saw that the bidder was Wu Yaoguang from the Prime Minister's residence, which caused another wave of surprise.

The Prime Minister's residence was bidding? Although Prime Minister Wu was known for his integrity, his daughter-in-law’s family was exceedingly wealthy. While not as rich as the He family, they were comparable. Therefore, the crowd’s surprise at Wu Yaoguang’s bid of 15 million was short-lived.

Why was Wu Yaoguang bidding for this high-grade Super Martial Pill? Looking at Wu Yaoguang’s son, Wu Yaolin, the crowd began to understand.

Wu Yaoguang was likely bidding on this high-grade Super Martial Pill for Wu Yaolin. With this in mind, no one was surprised by Wu Yaoguang's sudden bid.

When He Dewen heard Wu Yaoguang’s bid, he initially frowned but quickly realized it was for Wu Yaolin. He smiled and softly said, “Twelve million!”

“Fifteen million!”

This time, Wu Yaoguang didn’t hesitate. As soon as He Dewen finished speaking, he raised the price by three million, directly to fifteen million.

“Wow!”

As soon as Wu Yaoguang’s bid of fifteen million was announced, the crowd erupted in chatter.

Fifteen million! This was an enormous amount of money. Even among those present with significant status and wealth, few could afford such a sum.

In a room in the Medicine Pavilion, a middle-aged man around forty years old respectfully asked a master, “Master Yu, should our Medicine Pavilion continue bidding?”

Master Yu slightly turned his head, glanced at the middle-aged man, and calmly said, “Our Medicine Pavilion will not participate in the bidding for this high-grade Super Martial Pill.”

“Not participate?” Master Yu’s words stunned the middle-aged man, who looked at Master Yu with confusion.

Seeing the man’s expression, Master Yu smiled inwardly and said, “Jiaheng, do you think our Medicine Pavilion lacks such pills?”

The middle-aged man, Zhang Jiaheng, was the head of the Tianyang branch of the Medicine Pavilion. Despite his high status, he showed great respect for Master Yu, indicating that Master Yu held an extraordinary position within the Medicine Pavilion. No wonder no one doubted the efficacy of the Super Martial Pill after Master Yu’s appraisal.

Although Master Yu didn’t directly answer his question and even asked something unrelated, Zhang Jiaheng, still respectful, replied, “Master, we do not lack such pills, but they are seldom sold in the Tianyang branch.”

After Zhang Jiaheng finished speaking, Master Yu chuckled and said, “That’s right. Since we don’t lack such pills, we can study lower-grade ones instead of competing for high-grade ones. It’s unnecessary!”

“Master Yu indeed has great insight!” Zhang Jiaheng immediately realized the truth and admired Master Yu even more. However, he didn’t know that Master Yu was also somewhat unsettled.

The Medicine Pavilion indeed had plenty of pills like the Super Martial Pill, but almost none were as cheap as this one, which could be traded for gold.

Cheap! To Master Yu, a pill valued at fifteen million taels of gold, or even higher, was very cheap. In his view, any pill that could be traded for gold was cheap.

If Ye Yiming knew Master Yu’s thoughts, would he still embrace Da Hei with a smug look of being a wealthy man?

Fifteen million?

Faced with Wu Yaoguang's unhesitant bid, He Dewen was initially stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he bid again, “Sixteen million!”

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

“Seventeen million!” As soon as He Dewen called out sixteen million, Wu Yaoguang immediately raised the bid by another million.

Oh my! This is outrageous! That’s a million taels of gold, not a hundred taels of silver! How can they bid like this?

Watching He Dewen and Wu Yaoguang increase the bid by millions at a time, most of the crowd couldn’t help but feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Seeing that Wu Yaoguang seemed determined to continue bidding, He Dewen smiled and stopped bidding.

After waiting for a while and seeing no further bids, Wang Weilong spoke up.

“Seventeen million, going once!”

After a moment of silence with no responses, Wang Weilong reluctantly addressed the crowd, “Is there anyone else who wants to bid? This is a rare pill that can elevate someone to Earth-level martial artist status. It’s extremely valuable!”

“Seventeen million, going twice!”

“This is a priceless pill with no side effects. There are only three of them, so don’t miss this chance. You may never get another!”

Despite Wang Weilong’s attempts to entice the crowd, no one else bid. Even the He family stopped, and the price of seventeen million was astronomical. Few in the crowd could continue bidding. Besides, given Wu Yaoguang’s personality, anyone who continued bidding might incur his resentment, which was not worth the risk.

Seeing no further bids, Wang Weilong, though somewhat unwilling, made the final call.

“Sold! The final price for this high-grade Super Martial Pill is seventeen million taels of gold, won by the Second Young Master Wu.”

As soon as Wang Weilong finished speaking, Li Xiaodong quickly went up to the third floor to deliver the pill. However, his real purpose was to collect the money.

According to Wang Weilong, no matter how much money was involved, it had to be collected on the spot. Therefore, the auction rules stated no credit would be allowed, even for the emperor himself.

When Li Xiaodong returned with a smile, both Wang Weilong and Ye Yiming grinned. Unlike Wang Weilong, who was the center of attention, Ye Yiming, though trying to control his emotions, was beaming with joy.

“Cough~” After calming his excitement, Wang Weilong picked up the second high-grade Super Martial Pill and announced with a smile, “Alright, let’s start the auction for the second high-grade Super Martial Pill. The rules remain the same: no reserve price, with each bid increase not less than ten thousand taels. Let’s begin!”

“Fifteen million!”

As soon as Wang Weilong finished speaking, He Dewen immediately bid fifteen million, causing the room to fall silent.

Upon hearing He Dewen’s bid, Ye Yiming was initially stunned, then started cursing He Dewen inwardly.

Damn it! He Dewen, I won’t let you off!

Ye Yiming knew exactly what He Dewen was doing. He was trying to set a high starting price. If the bidding had increased by one million each time, even though a million was a significant increment, it was less shocking than jumping straight to fifteen million.

Ye Yiming was sure that if the bids had increased gradually, the final price would have exceeded the seventeen million of the first pill. However, with He Dewen’s sudden high bid, Ye Yiming had little hope for that.

As expected, despite Wang Weilong repeatedly emphasizing the pill’s value, no one bid further, and the second high-grade Super Martial Pill was sold to He Dewen for fifteen million.

Watching Li Xiaodong return from collecting the payment from He Dewen, Ye Yiming couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret for the two million taels less. Yet, he also had a newfound respect for He Dewen.

Hmm, as expected of the richest family in Tianyang, the He family knows how to do business!

My two million taels!!!

While lamenting his loss, Ye Yiming continued to wail inwardly.

Fearing another situation like He Dewen’s, Wang Weilong decided to emphasize some points before auctioning the last high-grade Super Martial Pill.

“The second Super Martial Pill has been sold. Now we will auction the last one. The rules remain unchanged: no reserve price, with each bid increase not less than ten thousand taels. This is your last chance, so seize it!”

After Wang Weilong’s announcement, there was a brief silence. Seeing no one immediately making a high bid, someone finally called out.

“Five million!”

The first bid this time came from General Li’s son, Li Feng. After bidding, he nervously watched the pill, hoping no one else would bid. Five million was his limit, and he could only take a chance.

Unfortunately, his hope was soon dashed.

“Six million!”

A loud bid shattered Li Feng’s dream, causing him to slump back into his seat. Amid the increasingly fierce bidding, no one noticed his plight.

“Seven million!”

“Eight million!”

“Nine million!”

This time, neither Wu Yaoguang nor He Dewen participated. Perhaps because of this, everyone felt free to bid, causing the price of the last Super Martial Pill to quickly soar past fifteen million and head towards seventeen million, eventually surpassing it.

“Eighteen million!”

Surpassed! The price of this Super Martial Pill had exceeded the first one’s seventeen million, setting a new record. But it didn’t stop there.

“Eighteen million and one hundred thousand!”

At this point, the bidding slowed down, with smaller increments. However, as the price approached nineteen million, a loud bid broke the pattern.

“Twenty million!”

Twenty million! Who would have thought a small pill could be so valuable? This news shocked all of Tianyang, and everyone talked about the miraculous Super Martial Pill.

At this moment, Ye Yiming’s excitement was indescribable, only able to roar inwardly.

Sky-high pills, let’s get excited together!
