“Shattered Leaf Deer Horn Grease, eighty thousand Wu jade, sold.”
“Tier Four martial art: Six Gates Ghost-slaying Blade, seven hundred thousand Wu jade, sold.”
“Magic treasure Heavenly Remnant Lock. Four million nine hundred, sold.”
“…”
As expected of the First Market, every kind of glittering article was sold at dumbfounding high prices, much more profitable compared to the Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder. Qi Lin even wanted to buy some things, but when he remembered his priority was his boat to the Eastern Sea, he could only hold himself back.
At this time, three pills were placed on the podium.
These pills were black and white in color, and they emitted the qi of the Taiji. The pills were perfectly round, filled with spiritual power, and they were being sold together as a set.
“Origin Taiji Pill!”
The Origin Taiji Pill trained black and white qi, nurturing the Divine Soul on the inside and Divine Energy on the outside. It was an enormously beneficial pill for cultivators. The Origin Taiji Pill was a pill from the Immemorial Period, and its recipe was already long lost. However, because the Origin Taiji Pill mixed the qi of the immemorial Universe Origin with contemporary worldly qi that was currently being cultivated, the slight difference, or even conflict, could cause a cultivator to enter qi deviation. Thus, although this Origin Taiji Pill was great, the truth was that there were few cultivators in Primordial World willing to go purchase them. However, the Origin Taiji Pill was an Immemorial Pill, after all. So long as a cultivator was willing to put it up for auction, the First Market would happily oblige.
Qi Lin cultivated the Black And White Mixed Origin Chant, though the pill was useful for his Yin Yang Fortune Body.
“Origin Taiji Pill. These are considered rare, an item from the Immemorial period. If a Fellow is creating a collection, this is a very good choice to add. Three Origin Taiji Pill together, starting bid: five hundred thousand Wu jade.” Yao Lao was also aware of how valuable this pill was. He was not interesting in wasting breath on a long-winded speech, so he was direct.
Although cultivators were not too accustomed to ingesting the Origin Taiji Pill, it was an item from the Immemorial Period, after all; it was not bad as a collector’s item. It was known that an Immemorial Period item was at least worth a million. Five hundred thousand Wu jade was already considered very cheap.
“Five hundred thousand Wu jade, going once!” Yao Lao’s gaze swept over the crowd.
To the cultivators, five hundred thousand was a bit expensive. They needed to buy too many things at the moment, and they did not want to throw money away on something senseless.
“Five hundred ten thousand!”
A cultivator finally raised a bid after the second call.
“Five hundred ten thousand, going once.” Yao Lao shouted again.
“Twice.”
“Five hundred twenty thousand!!” Just as he was about to strike his gavel, a flat voice raised a higher bid. Everyone looked around, and their gazes landed on Qi Lin.
Wu Gu showed a flabbergasted expression. Let alone that the Origin Taiji Pill was prone to inducing qi deviation, it was not very useful at all. Five hundred thousand was already a very high price. She was not sure why QI Lin would spend his money on this.
“Five hundred twenty thousand.”
Seeing someone bid higher, Yao Lao gasped.
The cultivator who made the five hundred ten thousand bid shook his head and gestured to Qi Lin: “This Origin Taiji Pill is yours, Your Distinguished Self.”
“Five hundred fifty thousand!!”
Before Qi Lin could even exhale, a loathsome voice broke the silence.
Yang Yuanzhi enjoyed the exhilaration of being the center of attention. He smirked and made an even higher bid.
“Five hundred fifty thousand?” Yao Lao was a bit surprised.
Yang Yuanzhi had the unruly attitude of a rich boy. He insincerely smiled at Qi Lin: “I am very interested in this Origin Taiji Pill, I hope that Fellow does not blame Yuanzhi for being jealous.”
Qi Lin narrowed his eyes. This guy apparently was making it obvious he wanted to compete with QI Lin for everyone’s attention. This was only natural. Qi Lin’s alter ego, True Person Xiaoyao, was known throughout Ten Shamans City, and the profits he made from selling the Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder were sufficient to leave people speechless. Some speculators had already made estimates, which left countless people envious. If he could compete in bids against this nouveau riche, or even defeat him, it could be well imagined how much attention he would gain.
Furthermore, Ten Shamans City was already full of cultivators who could not stand to watch Qi Lin’s moneymaking methods, becoming green with envy. Yang Yuanzhi’s style flaunted his wealth on one hand, but on the other, it also allowed everyone a measure of revenge. This was simply killing two birds with one arrow.
Of course, even if he was unable to compete, Yang Yuanzhi also planned to bid sky-high to force everyone back. This way, Qi Lin would be imperceptibly cut down by him. Similarly, he could garner an enormous reputation among cultivators.
This brute’s shameless manner was very much like how he used to be.
Qi Lin had already seen through this and chuckled.
But this Origin Taiji Pill was indeed different from the rest. To a cultivator, this was a burden, but Qi Lin had the Black And White Mixed Origin Chant, the Great Chapter Heavenly Immortal Chant, the Yin Yang Fortune Body, the Nine Yins Nine Yangs, and the Green Satchel Book; he absolutely had a hope to refine this pill. To miss out on it right now honestly was a pity.
“Five hundred fifty thousand, going twice.”
Yao Lao’s gaze stared at Qi Lin. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two of them.
No matter what, from his perspective, Qi Lin’s bet was sure to lose.
“What competitors love is always to pay a high price. I bid seven hundred thousand.” Qi Lin faintly grinned.
This was ingenious, imperceptibly dispelling the awkwardness in Qi Lin’s bid. Since you love to compete so much, then I’ll make you pay an even bigger price. Otherwise, your declaration is a bluff, nothing but a show.
At this time, Yang Yuanzhi also was unable to shrink back, to allow others to see him as a laughingstock. He knew he had underestimated Qi Lin’s shrewdness.
“True words, Your Distinguished Self. Your Distinguished Self Xiaoyao has made a profit of at least several million Wu jade with the Five Flavors Soul Returning Powder. Your Servamt, Yang Yuanzhi, definitely cannot compete. However, Yuanzhi still wants to test just how much Your Distinguished Self is fond of this pill – eight hundred thousand Wu jade!” Yang Yuanzhi was practically spitting his words out from between his teeth.
Qi Lin expressionlessly said: “Nine hundred thousand. Fellow Yuanzhi, if you want this, bid a billion.”
Yang Yuanzhi’s expression slightly changed, realizing Qi Lin had his resolve.
To him, a one million Wu jade Origin Taiji Pill was not impossible. After all, this pill was honestly useless. “Yuanzhi shall oblige you.” Yang Yuanzhi sinisterly grinned. His objective was already achieved, and he would not waste any more money.
“Nine hundred thousand, going twice!”
“Nine hundred thousand, going three…”
Just when Yao Lao was about to declare the end, an ice-cold voice came from another table.
“One million Wu jade!”
QI Lin cursed under his breath. How was there another person now competing against him.
The bidder was a young lady, one of dignity and cold arrogance. She was even a person that Qi Lin was familiar with.
“Huh, Her Highness is here.” Xu Fu was startled.
She was none other than Xuesha.
“One million??”
Even Yao Lao was in disbelief. To be able to by an Origin Taiji Pill for one million, five hundred thousand was practically the highest price, generally speaking.
Qi Lin was depressed. Although he was very much eager for this Origin Taiji Pill, he did not want to throw away one million. He did not care for a reputation of being outbid, but he honestly was very concerned with money. Qi Lin modestly said: “Then it is yours, Lady.”
“One million!! Sold!!” Yao Lao shouted in excitement.
“This Highness would like to gift this Origin Taiji Pill to someone…” Xuesha gracefully hinted.
“Of course, Your Servant wonders who could receive the lady’s favor.” Yao Lao nodded.
“Then gift it to His Distinguished Self Xiaoyao.” Xuesha’s tone was flat and apathetic.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
