Chapter 69 - 69 Auction Embarrassment
69 Auction Embarrassment
The three final items were not displayed one by one but together.
The important figures had come today because they had received the news early in the morning, so they had all rushed over. The auction house originally had a limited number of people.
There were even some people who had paid a high price to buy a slot for this trip.
Finally, it was about to happen. Everyone was extremely excited. Compared to the lifelessness earlier, it was as if they had been injected with demon blood.
I almost fell asleep from waiting. We’re finally here!
The voice from the third private room was heard.
Ling Feng immediately recognized the voice as the old man from first high.
No. 4, from the second high school, mocked, “Old thing, you’re here to snatch our things. Did you bring enough money? If it’s not enough, do you want us to lend you some?”
When the tall old man heard this, he was so angry that he almost couldn’t hold back and rushed over to fight him one-on-one.
But after he calmed down, he replied, “Old man Gou, did you bring enough money? If you didn’t, you could bark like a dog later. I’ll just give you some money as a charity. Stop barking!”
The second highest, Principal Gou, felt his heart being stabbed. He had never thought that his next opponent would be surnamed Tu.
One was a dog, and the other was a dog butcher. If they were linked together, wouldn’t it mean dog butcher and dog kill?
In terms of aura, the butcher beat the dog.
The student from the three schools sighed in embarrassment.
“You two old things, enough! They’re always picking on each other every time they meet. Aren’t they afraid of losing face in front of the younger generation?”
“What does it have to do with you?” Old Dog and Old Tu asked.
At that moment, principal Qian didn’t dare to say anything else. These two old things were really hot-tempered.
Usually, when they met, they would argue and pinch each other. Any outsider who interfered would lose a layer of skin.
Other than that.
The other private rooms weren’t very peaceful either, but with this reminder, they all confirmed the funds they had brought, afraid that it wasn’t enough.
Bai Qianlang could see how agitated everyone was.
“There’s no need to argue. The items are right here, and they belong to whoever manages to get them! Next, I will introduce the final items!”
He introduced them one by one. The first one was a tonic pill.
The pill was as big as a fist and was deep red in color, like congealed blood.
Everyone frowned after reading it.
“This thing is so big… can it be eaten in one bite? Don’t tell me it has to be eaten in batches.”
The white-haired teenager wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
“It’s not easy to make a tier three blood pill. The essence of a fierce beast and hundreds of other expensive herbs were used to make this one. After taking it, the effect is quite amazing.”
“Tier three blood pills will only be effective on those below tier seven. Level three is the best. From level three to above, the effect will gradually decrease.
“It’s not easy to obtain blood pills, especially in a small place like Ji city. It’s basically a rare occurrence. It was entrusted to me by a traveling merchant who had encountered an urgent matter.
“You only have one chance. The sanguine pill came here by fate. Everyone, please cherish this opportunity.
“The starting price is ten million.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped.
Ten million!
Although everyone knew that blood pills could indeed strengthen one’s strength, they had only heard of it and had never seen it with their own eyes.
Even though his appearance was due to fate.
Most tier six awakened had encountered a bottleneck and were stuck for many years, unable to break through.
However, even if this blood pill couldn’t help him break through, it could still greatly increase his strength.
They all began to hesitate, tempted by the blood pill.
For these people at the bottleneck, blood pills were like a hungry wolf seeing a mouse. Although they couldn’t fill their stomachs, it was better to eat them than not.
The bidding started and continued to rise, but only some small fish and shrimp were fighting.
The old geezers in the private room upstairs were not in a hurry to speak.
The white-haired man looked at everyone jumping up and calling out their bids one by one in a calm and composed manner.
Ling Feng was also unmoved. The old guys on the second floor were here for the finale, so someone would definitely make a move.
He didn’t know the price of the remaining two final items for the time being. This blood pill wasn’t very important to him, so he chose to observe.
“It would be great if this blood pill could be absorbed by life drain. I wonder if it could…”
He had obtained this skill from somewhere else. F rank was too low, so he had not used it much. He had almost forgotten about it.
However, now that his clone was already S rank, his other talents should also be able to be upgraded.
He looked at the current situation, and the bidding did not stop.
He turned around and asked the system.
“What level can I use the remaining upgrade points to upgrade life absorption?”
[B rank]
“OK, let’s level up!” Ling Feng immediately confirmed.
The system made the necessary arrangements.
[Upgrade complete. Life drain has reached B rank.]
[Skill effect hint: increase in power and speed. It can improve one’s constitution and mental power.]
Ling Feng entered his consciousness.
It didn’t take long for the sea of consciousness to grow several times until it was a hundred times bigger.
Although a hundred times was like the size of a sesame seed when compared to a star, it was huge when compared to other skills.
He opened his eyes and turned his palm up. A small black Vortex appeared in his palm. After using his talent, he was hungry!
I want to eat something!
I want to devour everything!
His mind was filled with these words.
Ling Feng was so scared that he turned off his talent, and his appetite disappeared.
“Some things have increased, but they are also effective!”
“Now that life absorption has been upgraded, the blood pill should… He thought for a while and immediately set his eyes on the blood pill.
Just as he returned to his senses, he realized that the old fogeys in the private room had already made their move.
“35 million!” Old Tu said.
“40 million,” the Liu family’s representative said calmly.
Old Tu was shocked.
Forty million in exchange for a blood pill. He hesitated…
Old Gou laughed out loud and spoke again, “Old Tu, what are you waiting for? No more money? I bid 45 million!”
As soon as he said this, the entire place fell silent. Everyone was hesitating, not knowing if they should continue or not.
Old Gou’s heart skipped a beat when he saw no one taking the plate.
No way… Why did everyone stop bidding?
“Oh?” The white-haired man smiled. “Is there anyone else who wants to bid? ”
Old Gou was extremely anxious. He had been acting cool for a moment just now, but now that he thought about it, although he could afford the 45 million, he did not have enough money on him. He could only barely manage it with the school’s public funds.
Bai Qianlang was about to make a decision when suddenly…
“Hold on!” He anxiously opened his mouth to stop him.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qianlang asked, “What’s the matter? Not enough money?”
Old Gou smiled awkwardly. “I was too excited just now. I didn’t think too much about it. I suddenly realized that I really don’t have enough money.”
The white-haired teenager didn’t have much of a reaction, because this was a common situation.
“Since you’re going back on your word, you’ll have to pay us 5% of your bid. Is that acceptable, principal Gou?”
Old Gou’s heart ached as he gritted his teeth and agreed.
“Then, let’s go back to the previous round. The Liu family has 40 million,” Bai Qianlang said calmly.
No one said anything.
Old man Tu laughed loudly at the man next door. “Old Gou, you’ve embarrassed yourself, haven’t you?”
Principal Gou had nothing to say. It was indeed embarrassing.
“50 million.”
“50 million?” Bai QIanlang repeated. “Is there anyone else who wants to bid?”
“55 million!”
“60 million!”
Everyone was sighing. The scene was silent for a moment, then it was as if it had been ignited instantly, and the discussion was endless.
