C33 The Auction Began(2)
Qiya slowly lifted up the red satin on the wooden tray, revealing the bottom. In a neat row, there were eight pill bottles. Qiya carefully picked up one bottle. She said to everyone, "The pill bottles contain Essence Warriors that can increase Essence Warrior Yuan energy. Consuming Essence Qi Pills can allow one to break through to the next realm faster. If it is the patriarchs. . . If you wish for the younger generation of the family to break through to the next realm faster. . . They would be far more talented than their peers. This time, there were a total of eight Essence Qi Pills. They were auctioned eight times.
Next, the starting price was ten thousand taels.
Just as Qiya finished speaking, This time, the patriarchs of the big families. . . They were not like old monks, sitting still and unmoving. Each and every one of them also shouted at the top of their lungs.
"What?! Is it an Essence Qi Pill that can increase the Yuan energy in an Essence Warrior's body? Miss Qiya, are you sure this is an Essence Qi Pill that can increase the Yuan energy in an Essence Warrior's body? Usually, no one would auction a Pill of this grade!?"
" Haha, Clan Chief Huang, you can rest assured. This Pill was appraised by a professional alchemist of our auction house. Master Qiao Yi appraised it and confirmed that it is an Essence Qi Pill. Clan heads, please do not worry about it. "
Qiya's soft voice was faintly heard, causing the bones of everyone present to feel a little numb.
The various clan heads present were the clan heads of the neighboring cities. When they heard that there was a professional appraiser in the auction house, Master Qiao Yi, personally appraising the Pill, they could not help but feel relieved.
Not only was Great Master Qiao Yi familiar with all kinds of herbs, he was also a tier two alchemist. Therefore, usually, when the patriarchs of the three families met him, they would be polite and welcome him with a smile.
Xiao Jian looked at all the patriarchs of the three families. He couldn't help but smile when he looked at the Essence Qi Pill. It seemed like he could solve his financial crisis this time.
However, Xiao Jian didn't know what the final item was. If it was useful to him, he would have to buy it no matter how much money he spent.
After all, it was getting closer and closer to the Family Competition. He had to seize every opportunity that could increase his strength as much as possible, so that he could achieve a good result, so that his father could stand straight and be a man. He did not need to be ridiculed by a deacon of the same level as him. Xiao Jian clenched his fists tightly and secretly swore.
"Hehe, the starting price of the Essence Qi Pill is 10,000 silver. Now, everyone, please increase the bid! Each increment must be no less than 1,000 silvers!" Qiya's eyes swept around and said to everyone with a smile.
"Eleven thousand taels!" Just as Qiya finished speaking, someone impatiently called out the price.
"Thirteen thousand taels!" The voice of the person who raised the price followed closely behind.
"16,000!" The price continued to rise.
"18,000!" Another wealthy merchant in luxurious clothes stood up. He was the owner of the weapon shop in Jialan City, and his strength was not bad. In Jialan City, he could be considered a top warrior and a wealthy merchant.
The prices in the hall kept rising. Gradually, some small families had already withdrawn from the rank of the weapon shop, and their faces were full of disappointment.
"Twenty-five thousand taels!" Suddenly, a heavy voice interrupted Xiao Jian's contemplation. He saw that the three big families of Jialan City had finally made their move.
It seemed like the three major families of Jialan City had reached an agreement. Only the patriarch of Huang Family was bidding, while the other two didn't make any moves.
Hearing the voices of the three major families, some wealthy merchants stopped shouting and sat down dejectedly. No one in Jialan City dared to compete with the three major families. Unless they didn't want to live anymore, they didn't have the strength to do so.
In the end, the Essence Qi Pill was sold to the first bottle by Huang Family's Patriarch for 25,000 silver.
Next, Qiya saw Huang Family Head bid and did not incite others to bid again. She struck the hammer in her hand.
"Since no one is bidding, the first bottle will be taken by Patriarch Huang. If the other Clan Chiefs want the Essence Qi Pill, you must hurry up!"
Qiya said with a slightly bewitching tone. After Qiya said so, everyone below was shocked and eager to give it a try.
"Next, we will auction the second bottle. The starting price is still ten thousand taels! Let the auction begin!" Just as Qiya finished speaking, the voice of the Zhang Family Patriarch, who was one of the three big families in Jialan City, rang out once again.
"Twenty-five thousand taels!"
Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, and directly increased the bid to twenty-five thousand. It seemed like it was necessary. When the clan heads heard the firm voice of Clan Head Zhang, they couldn't help but sit down again.
They knew very well that it wasn't a wise decision to fight the number one family in Jialan City.
Qiya looked at the silent crowd below and could only sound the hammer in her hand once again.
"The second bottle of Essence Qi Pill was obtained by Chief Zhang. The auction for the third bottle starts now. Everyone, please make a bid! The starting bid is still 10,000 taels! "
Just as Qiya's voice faded, the last family in Jialan City, the Wang family, the patriarch directly bid, "25,000 taels!" But right after that, another patriarch from a nearby family added, "Twenty-six thousand taels!"2
"I wonder which friend is competing with me. Can you give this bottle of Essence Qi Pill to me on account of this Wang? Although I'm not talented, I can still speak a few words in Jialan City. Perhaps I can even help my friend a little. "
Hearing that the Wang Clan Master was oppressing them with his power, some wealthy businessmen and some small and medium-sized families all sat down dejectedly.
"What, Clan Chief Wang, do you want to oppress people with your power? At this time, a loud and clear voice came from another private room upstairs. Hehe, others might be afraid of you, Clan Leader Wang, but I, Hua am not!" There was a hint of arrogance in the voice.
"Good! Good! Good! Who was I then? So it was Clan Head Hua. Why did you come all the way here? Was the road still safe? "
"You! - - - well, then we'll wait and see. 27,000 taels!" Clan Head Hua said.
"Twenty-eight thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!" The two of them bit each other like mad dogs.
"You! Thirty-eight thousand! If you continue to increase the price, I'll give it to you. I won't increase the price anymore. Clan Head Wang, you can imagine the anger in your voice. "
"Hehe, looks like Clan Head Wang is determined to win! Then I, Huawei, will do the right thing! So what if I give it to you. Haha, Clan Head Hua, the sound of schadenfreude rang out. "
"Clan Leader Wang in the private room, after hearing this, his face turned green, red, and his face kept trembling. It seems like he is extremely furious, but he still can't do anything about it. "
"The two of them are two neighboring cities, and they are both families that are ranked at the bottom of the rankings. Because of the grudges they had when they went out to train when they were young, every time they met now, they would be like a rooster in heat, fighting each other. Not stopping, the two of them have been fighting for decades. But neither of them can do anything to the other. Right now, they're just arguing. "
The competition for the next few bottles was extremely intense. Among them, Xiao Jian also heard the voices of the Ye family and the patriarch of Heavenly Cloud City. Xiao Jian's eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent. Regarding this family that had repeatedly caused him trouble, Xiao Jian couldn't bear it any longer. He didn't mind creating some trouble for him at some point in time. Since the Ye family had come, then the Xiao family and the Wan Family must have come as well. But who would come from the Xiao family?!
When it was the second last bottle, the Xiao family finally made their move. When Xiao Jian heard the deep voice, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't know if he should hate or respect them!
The Essence Qi Pill that the Xiao family won would definitely be rewarded to the young master of the Xiao family. It seemed like the young master of the Xiao family would break through to the Late Period of Essence Warrior Stage soon! It seemed like he had indirectly helped his opponent. It seemed like he had to improve his strength as soon as possible!
However, when the commotion over the Essence Qi Pill had ended, some families that had not managed to get their hands on it were still feeling resentful and vexed. They gradually turned their gazes towards some families or wealthy merchants who had managed to get their hands on it.
The next item to enter our auction house is the final item to be auctioned off! Everyone was invited to wait for a while. Suddenly, the lights in the auction house dimmed. Following closely behind the auction stage was the entrance. The lights were as bright as day, and at this moment, the sound of rhythmic footsteps could be heard.
The footsteps affected everyone's minds. They turned their heads in unison and looked at the entrance of the passage -!
