"My thanks to all our esteemed guests. We are honored by your presence." An old man dressed in an embroidered robe walked up to the auctioneer's stage and started tonight's auction.
"I know very well that there are many here today who have come especially for the Flowing Immortality Pill. However, there are also several other quite good items prepared for the auction today, so I would advise everyone not to dump all your money on simply the Flowing Immortality Pill."
When they heard his words, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became more relaxed.
However, this relaxed state was only temporary. When the Flowing Immortality Pill appear, it is guaranteed that all of them would become agitated.
One Flowing Immortality Pill could allow a martial warrior who stood at the top of the Divine Lord Stage to build a strong foundation before entering into the Divine Emperor Stage to become one of the most influential persons in the whole of Ice Sky Region. What person, or what clan, would not go crazy over it?
How many Divine Emperors were there in the whole of Ice Sky Region?
Even for the three great families and the Heavenly Ice Palace, they would only have very few elites that were publicly known to oversee things in their respective forces. Even if there were a few that played the role of the hidden ace and thus were not known publicly, if a force could have another such powerful figure, it was definitely enough to shock everyone greatly.
According to rumors, there would be nine Flowing Immortality Pills on auction today. If they could all be obtained by a single party, then in the best case scenario, they would be able to allow nine Divine Lords at their peak to break through to Divine Emperor Stage.
What kind of concept was that?
In a single instant, this force would be able to surpass the Heavenly Ice Palace and even replace it as the sole ruler of the Ice Sky Region.
Of course, even after taking the Flowing Immortality Pill, it was not possible that every person who had swallowed it would be able to successfully break through, but if there was a 50% chance, that would mean there would be four or five who can successfully break through. If there was only one-third of a chance, there would also be at least three.
Anyone who would not go crazy over them must be stupid.
So what if pills were exorbitantly expensive? As long as one was able to enter into Divine Emperor Stage, no matter how much they had to pay for such a pill, they would be able to earn back easily.
Everyone laughed loudly, but all of their eyes had a determined gleam to them. Tonight, even if they had to lose their entire family fortune, they would definitely get their hands on a Flowing Immortality Pill.
Alex, on the other hand, was shocked to learn about the Flowing Immortality Pill. Because he was unconscious for too long, he had no idea what was happening outside. And thus, he was also unaware of anything related to the auction.
He came to participate in the auction mainly to see and meet Asna. As long as he could meet Asna, his purpose of coming to the true Essence Sky World will be achieved.
As for the so-called Flowing Immortality Pill, Alex could simply replicate them. There is no need for him to fight against people just to obtain the Flowing Immortality Pill.
Alex felt a hidden current in the air, and could not help but smile.
The Flowing Immortality Pills may be able to go for an astronomical price in the auction tonight. That was all thanks to the fact that there were really too few Divine Emperors in the entire Essence Sky World.
"I've never thought that there would be so many people. I was feeling confident at first and thought that, in the worst-case scenario, I had to at least get one or, better yet, two. However, now I'm feeling rather uneasy. The chances don't look very good even for getting only one." Olav spoke while shaking his head.
Alex was stunned at first, then he asked, "You are already a Divine Emperor, there is no need for this Flowing Immortality Pill to you. Why do you want to buy this pill so earnestly then?"
Olav sighed and said, "You may not be aware, however, as far as I can remember, never have pills that could aid one in breaking through to Divine Emperor Stage appeared. Setting aside such high-grade alchemical pills like the Flowing Immortality Pill, even the Purple Cloud Pill which is used to help to break through to Divine Lord Stage is extremely rare!"
"I don't know who has supplied these nine Flowing Immortality Pills tonight, but that person would definitely be making a killing!" Olav said a little enviously.
The Lightfoot Family was extremely wealthy, but Olav was still envious. In fact, even if it was Roald, he would have been envious as well. It was obvious that these nine Flowing Immortality Pills would be able to go for an astronomical amount that would cause even one such as him to lose control.
Alex also revealed a shocked expression. To him, pills do not have much value. He could simply replicate any pills he wants and swallow them like candies. However, learning that pills that could assist in breakthroughs were so rare to come by, Alex understood the importance of these pills.
At the same time, he decided to replicate the Flowing Immortality Pills and use them to break through to Divine Emperor Stage instead of wasting nirvana on it. That way, not only would he advance, but he could also save a nirvana for a further breakthrough.
He was already a Perfection-leveled Divine Lord, and he still had Six Nirvanas left. With these Six Nirvanas, he is guaranteed to go beyond the Divine Emperor Stage.
"However, the Flowing Immortality Pills are very close to Top Grade Celestial Rank. The chances of the failure of concocting these pills are still very high. In my opinion, at least about thirty or forty furnaces' worth of ingredients would explode before successfully concocting these nine Flowing Immortality Pills. Going by this, although there is still profit to be earned, it is within reasonable limits." Olav thought for a while and said in a very certain tone, changing the direction of the conversation.
"Wait a minute!" Olav suddenly stopped, causing Alex and Serena to look at him, waiting for his further response.
Olav's shocked voice was heard once again the next second, "It is no wonder... I just thought why Lady Asna came to participate in the auction. The so-called biggest auction of all time is just one reason, the main reason must be these pills. She must want to obtain these Flowing Immortality Pill as well."
Serena shook her head upon listening to Olav but did not say anything.
As for Alex, he at least got a clue from Olav. It seems Asna is already here.
"Everyone, the nine Flowing Immortality Pills will be auctioned off separately throughout the entire auction, so please do not walk away and miss out on it." The auctioneer said with a smile. Clapping his hands, he continued, "And now, to start off the auction, we'll be auctioning off the first Flowing Immortality Pill to liven up the atmosphere. The base price is five million High-Grade Celestial Stone, and every bid cannot be lower than one hundred thousand."
After he finished speaking, those rich and imposing people did not look very pleased, while those who were short of money smiled embarrassingly.
If these nine Flowing Immortality Pills were auctioned off in one go, then there would definitely be very few people able to afford them, so in the end, the price would not be too shocking. However, if they were auctioned off one by one, the competition would become much fiercer, and in extreme conditions, one Flowing Immortality Pill may go for a price that even exceeded the price of the other eight pills combined.
Thus, those rich people were naturally displeased, as this had added a larger number of bidders they had to compete with for a single pill.
"Five Million High-Grade Celestial Stone."
"Five Million and five hundred thousand."
"Five Million and eight hundred thousand."
Very quickly, the sound of bids endlessly appeared. That was because it was acknowledged by all that a Flowing Immortality Pill was worth more than ten or even a hundred million High-Grade Celestial Stones. Thus, everyone was still very enthusiastically bidding, and the price was still very far from the limits they had set in their hearts.
Olav also began to place bids. Unfortunately, his status was completely useless in the eyes of people. They all knew that Olav is nothing but a joke in the Lightfoot Family. No one would be retreating simply because he was the one bidding.
"Ten million High-Grade Celestial Stone!" Within only two minutes, the price of the first Flowing Immortality Pill had reached ten million.
However, the competition between people to obtain this pill did not die. It was still as intense as it was before.
